Chattanooga. November 14-(Spe-
cial )-Resorting almost entirely to
straight football and failing to execute
successfully a single forward pass Ten
nessee defeated Sewanee here this art
ernoon, IA to Z.
The style of play of both teams was
a general surprise. The Volunteers hao
been expected to resort largely TO "ioe
open offense after it had worked the
downfall of both Alabama and van
derbilt, but the Orange and White war
riors went to the opposite extreme. May
did not attempt a forward pass until the
last of the third quarter, and after
three had miserably failed restrained
himself almost entirely to line plays.
Sewanee Play Open
1t was Sewanee that affected the open
game After defeating Alabama with
an orthodox attack she adopted typical
western tactics this afternoon. Five
forward passes out of eight were
worked with clock-lilze precision and
two in the last few minutes of play
shot a scare into the Tennessee camp
that did not subside until the final
whistle blew when the game ended
with Sewanee in possession of the ball
in striking distance of the Orange goal.
Tolley was the individual star of the
game. Time after time the Purple cap
tain wormed his way through the OPP
position for long gains, and he was the
central figure of each Tiger rally. May
scored both touchdowns for the Volun-
teers, but an equal share or his sue
cess as we'll as that of the remaining
Tennessee backs must be given to the
Orange forwards, who frequently tore
the Sewanee lines to shreds.
Sewanee's showing was above the ex-
pectation of her conservative support
ers. Only her most enthusiastic admir-
ers expected her to win, and Tennessee
entered the game practically 10
favorite. Her exhibition this afternoon
proved absolutely that the showing OF
the Tigers against Alabama was moi
due to any deterioration upon the par'
of Graves machine, but instead to an
entire reversal of form upon the part
of the Bengal eleven. The Tiger line
though outweighed 10 pounds by the
Tennessee forwards, played striking
defensive game and Cope's SECONDARY
defense succeeded where Nanoerpii'
failed by blocking every attempt Oh .ne
