New Orleans, Nov. 3.-(NNS)-
The shadow of mighty end, with
wings on his heels and glue on his
hands, loomed up this weekend
across the Tennessee Volunteers
path to the Sugar or Rose Bowl.
His name is Ken Kavanaugh and
hes just about the touchdowning-
est terminal in America football to-
day.
Kavanaugh scored his eighth and
ninth touchdoWns of the season
Saturday to give Louisiana State a
IL to victory over the Vanderbilt
Commodores.
The Tigers, who have beaten Holy
Cross, Rice, Loyola and Vandy, since
dropping their seasons opener to
Ole Miss have made 10 touchdoWns
this season. Kavanaugh made 'em all
but one!
Against the giant Vandy line, L.
S. US running game showed vast
Improvement and Bernie Moore will
bring his Tigers up to a peak per-
Torrance Saturday in Baton Rouge
when Tennessee comes to town. A
crowd Of $4,000 is going to be on
hand to see Of Kavanaugh can hold
his own against bad News" Cafego,
Box FOXX, Sam Bartholomew and
Lenny COffman, not to mention John
ny Butler.
The Vols, playing sluggishly a
gainst Mercer, scored a II to vic
tory as they eased off from the ten
sion Of the Alabama game. They'll
be in the cup and at 'em" mood
for L. S. U. and they'll have to be.
Tigers to Upset Vols
In our book, L. S. u. has a real
chance if it can stop the Vols pow
lerful ground game just moderately
and give Leo Bird chance tC
throw passes at Kavanaugh. Anc
we believe they'll do it. So here's
the upset pick of the week: L. S. U
10; Tennessee 7.
For that to occur, however, the
Tigers must be at their seasons best
and Tennessee must be a trifle self
satisfied.
Alabama, beating back from the
Tennessee debacle, turned back
stubborn Mississippi State team, r
to 0, and will be prepared for up
and coming Kentucky, 81 to 0. con-

This game will be a jaW-breakel
if the Kentucky lads don't stand ir
awe Of the Tide as so many Ken
lucky teams have done in the past
We're looking for Alabama by ;
single touchdown, probably 13 to 6
with the Wildcats doing their scor-
ng through the air.
If L. S. U. upsets the Vols anc
'Bama takes Kentucky, Tulane
which will be idle this week, will
be the only unbeaten eleven in the
Southern Conference.

Vandy's Chances Slim
Ole Miss will tackle Vandy this
week and since everybody is beat
ing Vandy these days the Rebels
look like a cinch if they play as
we'll as they did before $4,000 in
New Orleans. We're picking Harry

The game worth going miles to see
this week is the ke-Georgia Tech
