KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. s.
The Tennessee Vols grid prestige
punctured in the 1910 Rose Bowl
game, was patched and pumped up
skin tight today with a sparkling
13-to-0 victory over "one of the best
football teams in Duke history"
Forty-two thousand saturated
fans who overflowed Shield Watkins
Stadium sat thrilled and amazed as
Coach Bob Neylands team, forsak-
ing for the first time the solid old
Army game, ran the legs from under
the Blue Devils with a tricky new
shift, some fancy ball juggling and
more passing than Vol fans have
seen in a long time.
Tlis scoring was confined to the
second quarter, a pass good for 80
yards accounting for the first points
and a plunge following blocked
punt netting the second touchdown
but that doesn't tell the story of the
way the Vols swarmed over the be-
deviled Blue Devils.
Only once did Duke invade Ten
nessee territory. The remainder OF
the time the Blue Devils were rock
ing back on their heels, the midfield
stripe only a mirage
At least twice the Vols had other
touchdowns literally at their finger
tips. In the first period little Johnny
Butler passed to Fred Newman or
the Duke TO- Newman was in the
clear. the ball squarely in his hands
but he dropped it. In the final period
Bob Andridge sprinted into a corner
of the end zone to gather in a pass
from Buist Warren, but he was
Juggling the ball as he stepped out
of bounds.
First Marker Well Earned.
The first touchdown richly was
earned. 1t climaxed steady 63-yard
drive, featured by the plunges of Bob
FoXX and Ike Peel and the passing
of Foxx. The death blow packed
more drama than was visible to
the eye.
Last Tuesday third string soph-
omore Vol end, Al Hust, was pro-
NOTED to the second string when his
brother Emil injured his shoulder
Yesterday the boys parents were
injured seriously in an automobile
accident en- route to the game
When Foxx eased back from the
Duke 33. looking for a pass receiver
he spotted this same Al Hust fal
off to the left and galloping strongly
FoXX shot the ball far ahead of the
flying figure. Hust took it in stride
on the 10 and rambled on over the
goal Foxx made it TO with a place
kick.
A line that charged like a mad
dened bull accounted for the second
touchdown. AS usual, the Blue Devils
were punching away harmlessly
deep In their own territory. Frank
Killian dropped back to punt.
The ball doomed off the bosom Of
Abe Shires and was smothered by
Hodges West, Vol tackle, on the Duke
10. Foxx on the fourth line plunge
covered two remaining yards to the
goal. Newman's place kick was low

That was the scoring. and in the
second half it was obvious the Vol;
were just coddling their lead. They
abandoned any semblance of hokus-
pokus. played straight. conservative
football which was enough to keer
the Blue Devils stymied.
Wade started his second team. Ii
played the usual conservative
plunge-and-pun style. and although
it went nowhere it also kept the
Vols from going too far. The Ten
nessee fans were uneasy. 1t seemed
the Blue Devils were playing pos
sum.
They weren't playing possum
They were a thwarted, bewildered
team playing against a squad which
outran them. outcharged them. out
tackled them and outpassed them.
After the second touchdown II
appeared only a miracle could bring
Duke victory. and for few fleet
ing moments at the start of the
second half the miracle seemed tc
be the Blue Devils twelfth man.
Taking the kickoff, they marched
from their own 80 to the Tennessee
35. with Yves McAfee, Frank Ezer-
ski and Thompson Prothro con-
tributing substantially. They ap-
peared like Duke was expected .c
look, but it was swan song. They
couldn't have gone farther with
