Passing Against Tu-

Down In New Or

Bowl Bid.

New Orleans, Oct 26.-(NNS)-
The Tennessee Vols have already
started packing their suit cases for
a trip to 4 New Years Day Bowl
game.
The Vols, drubbing Alabama's
Crimson Tide, 81 to 0, Saturday
got by their toughest opponent Of
the season. And they did it con-
Ivincingly, scoring first on a 56-yard
run Of dazzling brilliance by 1870
pound Soph JohlA.y Butler, and then
turning 'Bama errors into two other
touchdOWns.
Tennessee completely bottled up
Bama's attack limiting Frank
Thomas eleven to 81 yards for the
day as against the Vols 100.
The Vols, favored with Alabama
and Tulane at the start Of the sea-
son to win the Southeastern Con-
ference title, are now oVerWhelm-
ingly choices to annex the Dixie
diadem for the second straight year.
Tennessee rests this week against
Mercer while preparing for Louis
lana State on November 4. On
November II, the Vols play The
Citadel, another push-over, and then
tackle Vanderbilt, Kentucky and
Auburn in order, with little chance
Of blowing any Of these games.
The Vols stand, with Ole Miss
and Kentucky, as the only unbeaten
and united teams in the South, with
Tulane and North Carolina still I'M
beaten, but tied by virtue Of their
IA to IA game Saturday.
That Wave-Tar Heel tilt was a
thriller to 1000 fans in New Or
leans After a scoreless first half,
Tulane's power produced a touch
down in the third period and an
other at the start Of the fourth
period to give the Greenies a IA to
0 edge.
Lalanne Stars
And then "SWeet" Lalanne. a
Louisiana boy who was too small
for Tulane three years ago when
he graduated from Lafayette, La,
high, started throwing passes.
In four plays, including the kick
off, he returned the ball 10 yards,
bucked for one passed for 80 and
passed for AZ and that was one
touchdown.
And nine plays later, he passed
25 yards for the tying touchdown.
Harry Dunkle, soph fullback, kick
ed both extra points. That's not all.
A Tulane tumble started Lalanne to
passing again and he Tipped an
other in order to set up field goal
try but this went wide.
Tulane's mighty line held the
Tar Heels to "a yards running, but
the 1856 yards through the air did
the trick. The Greenies go up
against Ole Miss this week and it
looks like a rough afternoon for
the Rebels, for the Wave will be
fighting mad over what its players
and coaches feel was a setback at
the hands of North Carolina.
The Rebels, swapping St. Louis,
~ to 0, will be mighty formidable,
but it will have to be through the
air that they'll get anywhere And
it isn't likely they'll be as hot as
0WGeI LdldIlno. we re picking
the Greenies to win, 20 to 7.
North Carolina, which goes up
against unbeaten Pennsylvania, is
our choice to keep on down the I'M
beaten road with Is to 7 triumph.
'Bama Win Seen
Alabama can not afford to let
down from the Tennessee game for
it will find Mississippi State plenty
tough if it does. State outplayed
Auburn but lost to 0 game week
before last and it came back yester-
day to swamp Southwestern of
Memphis. 81 to 0. We're looking for
a Is to 'Bama win.
Auburn which dropped 7 to 0
game to Manhattan last week. will
run up against Georgia Techs tricky
attack, which al but beat Notre
Dame, and the Plansmen are doped
to lose another one. The score should
be 13 to 6.

day, plays host to Louisiana State
