VOLS BARELY ABLE
TO DEFEAT GATORS
Crowd of 1000 at Knoxville
Sees Thrilling Battle
on Gridiron.
BIZ ALAN J. GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, December 8.
The Volunteers of Tennessee,
n playing with all the dashing
4 and daring skin of youth, Scut-
tied the Southern Conference
championship hopes of Florida today
in thrilling climax to one of the great
est Dixie gridiron seasons
These sturdy sons of Tennessee, with
. scrappy fast charging line and three
sensational scSSomores in the back
field, ripped into the defense of the
country's highest powered scoring ma
chine, tore 1t apart in the first half
with bewiidering attack and had the
stuff to turn back Florida's desperate
counter thrust that fell only a single
point shy of Squaring the count.
TenneSSee's final margin was Is to IL,
so close that chills were running up
and down the spines of Volunteer
partlSans as Florida darkened the air
with passes in the final part of the
game, yet su8cient to wind up the
home teams season in triumphant
fashion.
Gov. Horton Spectator.
A wildly excited crowd of 1900, in
cluding Gov. Horton Of Tennessee, filled
every available inch of Shields Wat
kins Field TO see the Volunteers not
only spoil Floridas hopes of sharing
the Southern title with Georgia Tech,
but strengthen their claims to a share
1928.
Those youthful stars in orange and
white, with a brilliant backfield trio in
Gene McEver, Buddy Hackman and
Boxby Dodd, all sophomores, carried on
where their predecessors left off to give
Tennessee the distinction of finishing
Its second successive undefeated sea-
son.
Only a Thanksgiving day scoreless
tie with Kentucky keeps the Vols from
claiming an equal share of Southern
title glory with Georgia Tech, which
closed its campaign at Atlanta today
by beating Georgia before moving on
to represent Dixie in the Rose Bowl
game at Pasadena New Year day.
AS 1t stands. Tennessee, under the
coaching of the old West Point star,
Maj. Bob Neyland, has played 20 con-
secutive games over a three-year period
without defeat, winning 18 and tying
others. The complete three-year record
under Neyland'S skillful guidance shows
20 victories out Of % games, with only
defeat by Vanderbilt two years ago
and the brace of tie games to mar one
of the most consistent records of any
college team in the country
Neyland rose from a sick bed where
he has been confined by flu for several
Gays, to see his young charges outdo
themselves today as they got the Jump
on the brilliant Florida array, took the
lead in the second period and kept it
to the finish in spite Of the most de-
termined counter charges OF Cannon
ball Clyde Crabtree and his crew of
fighting Gators.
Florida, unbeaten previously this year
and with speedy, well drilled outfit
that had rolled up the astonishing total
of 324 points in eight games. entered
the game top-heavy favorite, colors
flying and confident of victory.
Their banner was still flying and they
were still fighting, desperately, even if
ineffectively, in a palpitating final 5
minutes as Tennessee's alert defense
withstood the aerial shocks of the
visitors.

pennant for the Cardinals last season.
The deal followed an unofficial an
nouncement from Toronto that the Ma
tional League clubs had agreed to help
players as they felt able to spare.
Maranville goes back to the club
which he helped win pennant and
world series in 1914. Although he
played wonderful base ball at shortstop
for the Cardinals and was considered
the spark plug of the team last sea-
son, he is 36 years DID, and the club
probably felt his usefulness was nearing
an end.
The Rabbit started his professional
career with New Bedford in 1911 and
joined the Braves two years later. He
came to the Cardinals last season after
having Joined the Cardinal organixa-
