CRUSH VANDY
UNDER 200 SCORE
Complete Third Successive
Perfect Season, Clinch
Sugar Bowl Bid

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 30
R-The pitfalls of tradition, muo
and rain proved no barrier today
for Tennessee's mighty Volunteers
who crashed through Vanderbilt,
20 to 0, to complete their THIRD
successive perfect season and shut
the lid on an invitation for a post
season game in the New Orleans
Sugar bowl.
Some 21, 200 rain-drenched spec
tators huddled in the stands 70 see
the Vols crush their most ancient
foe convincingly and win undls'
puted championship Of the South
eastern conference.
The Commodores, who last de-
feated Tennessee, IS to Z, in regu.
lar season play in 1887, gave all
they had, but it wasn't enough to
cope with the most powerful run
ming attack the vicious Vols have
launched all season.
Sugar Bowl officials announced
that Tennessee had been selected
to play unbeaten Boston college at
New Orleans New Years day. Both
accepted.
The statistics tell the story OF
the superiority of Major Bob Ney-
lands classy crew. The Vols
picked up eight first downs to five
for Vanderbilt, three of which
came on penalties; rushed the ball
1853 yards to Vandy's SO and kept
the stubborn Commodores out of
their territory throughout the
fiercely-fought melee.
The two teams spared around
for an opening that never came in
the first period, but midway the
second, little Johnny Butler, the
Vols great scat back, took charge
and led a 50-yard touchdoWn-pro-
ducing march. !

VI0LETS DEFEATED

F0Otballers From Rose Hill

BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-CP-Even
Fordham's %favorite pink couldn't
keep the Rams from leaping into
the football bowl today.
Boosting as powerful a set of
backs, led by stocky Steve Filipowicz,
as they have ever enjoyed, the foot
ballers from Rose Hill mopped up
the Yankee Stadium's muddy grid

val. New York university, 26 to 0,
and Immediately accepted a bid to
the Cotton Bowl game at Dallas on
New Years Day.
-Four years ago, New York's Vio-
lets grew up to oak tree size, upset
the Rams and kicked them right
out of the Rose Bowl. Today, the
Violets We're wilted and the Rams
showed both n. Y. U. and $4,000
customers they had both barrels
loaded. They had been expected to
take the orange Bowl bid but Grad.
uate Manager Jack Coffey an.
nounced it would be Dallas instead
They scored only &c points but it
might as well have been 56. The
Rams classy backs, notably barrel.
chested Steve ~Filipowicz, did about
as they pleased all afternoon. Not
only did they score four touchdoWns,
but they crossed the whiting Violet
goal line on three other occasions
only to have the microscopic" eye
of Referee E. H. Heintz detect a
back in motion Illegally and call the
scoring play back.
Although Lightning Len" 4sh.
mont and Jerry B~lumenstock were
the harder runner in Fordham's
crack backfield quartet today, Fill
powicz did everything, and did it so
well sports writer's voted him the
most valuable" man in the election
which annually follows the get-to-
gethef of Pa Knickerbocker's foot
balling sons.
Sophomore Steve-the first sepho-
more to win the award, incidentally
scored three of the Fordham touch
downs and passed for a fourth. Built
close to the ground and about as
solid as a cement post, he was the
big man of the afternoon.
This was the 22nd renewal of The
series, and it is doubtful if ever
before one team so o%utclassed the
other in this set-tosether. Fordham
piled up Is first downs to seven
and 31S yards rushing to 3.

today they had landed the only

teams in the country-Boston col

The announcement caused little

Cheated football warriors of STAN
ford carved the final chapter of the
most gripping gridiron story in far
western history today with a hard
fought 10 to z win over the Univer-
sity of California.
1t was a story of a comeback from
a 1889 season that saw Stanford
finish last in the Pacific coast con-
ference race to a 1910 windup that
bagged the title and battered down
the Rose Bowl doors.
Two touchdown drives in the Sec
ond period posted the scoreboard
points that brought tSanford undis-
puted leadership in the conference
and the nomination to the New
Years Day classic at Pasadena.
The Indians finished as the only
major college team in the far west
with neither defeat nor tie to mar
their record.
California, fighting it's finest battle
and under serious handicap, scored
in the last minute and half of play
1t was the longest sustained march
of the day, So yards and straight
along the ground. The Bears were
outscored and outplayed most OF the

Southwest Team To Be
Picked By Geographic
Vote Difficulties

DALLAS, Nov. 30-R-Powerful
Fordham university, beaten once
in a shocking upset earlier in the
season, accepted an invitation to-
night to play a New Years day
football game in the Cotton Bowl
against a Southwest conference
representative still to be selected.
President Dan D. Rogers of the
Cotton Bowl Athletic association
reported shortly after Fordham's
I26-0 rout of New York university
that the Rams had agreed to the
game.
The Southwest team will be Sc
lected by a Geographic vote of the
faculty members of the Southwest
conference next Monday. Only
Texas A. and NJ, Rice institute
and Southern Methodist are eligi-
BILE.
1t was believed fairly certain
that. the Aggies, mighty rulers of
the Southwest for two seasons and
victims of a terrific upset from
Texas university, 10, only two
days ago, would be the choice.
However, both Southern Metho-
dist and Rice still are in the con-
ference running. They meet next
Saturday at Houston.
AS it now stands, the Aggies are
assured at least a tie for the con-
ference crown. The winner of the
SMU-Rice game would share the
title with them. A Rice-SMU stand
off would give the Aggies undis-
puted possession-frst time in his
tory that a conference team would
have won the flag two years run
ming.
