Slow Start Helps Defeat Mustangs led by Halfbacks Bob Pascal and Bernie Blaney, ran roughshod over Tennessee Saturday, a mystery unless you merely want to ascribe it to inept "Our passers weren't rushed," Daugherty said. "They had fine protection and plenty of time." Wally Weber, the veteran Michigan freshman coach, had a pertinent comment to make on the Wolverines' absence from the airlines. "It's the mark of a good team," Weber said, "when you can put away entirely a weapon that is as important as the pass the eight years I've coached Michigan or In the 10 years Fritz Crisler was the coach has one of our teams done so little passing," Bennie said. Michigan State's air game likewise was extremely disappointing. The Spartans made good on only three of seven attempts for a meager gain of 38 yards.

Michigan picked off three other tosses and got more yardage (52) out of the runbacks of the interceptions than the Spartans did with their completions. GA. TECH STATISTICS B.M.TJ.

A shirt-sleeved crowd of 25,500 saw Duke break loose for touchdowns in each of the last three periods to hand Tennessee its sixth straight setback, tying a record set in 1909. With less than two minutes remaining in the second period, Duke marched 55 yards for its first score. The Blue Devils used eight plays to cover the distance.

PASCAL plunged one yard for the first of his two touchdowns. Guard Jim Nelson made the first of three conversions. The second Duke counter came with a sudden burst of speed midway through the third period when Blaney broke to the left and raced 80 yards down the sideline. Tennessee was in a 7-2-2 defense at the time and only one Vol, Halfback Bob Hibbard, got within flagging distance of Ron Kramer, the great Michigan end, caught seven passes for a gain of 109 yards a week ago.
