clowned to the disgust of t.'e
huge crowd.
The playing of the national an
them IN the darkened stadium
with a blue lignt spotted on the
flag was the most thrilling event
of the evening.
North Caronna won the bali
game by capItallzing on two
Tennessee fumbles in the first
period, and short display OF
good football early in the third
period, to score two touchdoWns.
Otherwise, during the game the
Eagles semed content to let the
ball remain in possession of the
highly Vaunted Tennessee boys,
who apparently didn't know
what to do with it when they
got it.
T h unbeaten Tennessans
started out like the team they
were advertised to be, taking the
klck-off on ther own is yard
line and marching by straight line
plays to the Eagles IA yard line.
AT this point, however, Ralph
Pulley, Tennessee fullback, fun
bled the ball into the farms 0
William Peerman, Eagle end and
from that point on until late in
the fourth quarter the Tennessee
lads played football like tired
bunch of kids who wanted to
go back home.
Peerman was doWned in his
tracks when he recovered the
tumble, and Carl Galbreath kick
ed out of danger for the Eagles.
Whitman of Tennessee took the
kick on his own 35 and returned
to the 40.
Tennessee then lined up for an
other march, but this time Henry
Holbert, Tennessee halfback OBJ
l;gingly fumbled on his 44-yard
line and center John Brown OF
the Eagles obligingly recovered.
The Eagle then Tapped its
wings. Welmon Britt got a first
down on the Tennessee "a. Gal
breath went off tackle to the 30
and hit the same hole on the

other first down on the Tennes-
see 20 and Nathaniel Gamble
crashed through center to the 10.
Tennessee called time out.

Britt then fought his way to a
first down on the 5 and on the
next play smashed through GER
ter for a touchdown. Jim Line

the extra point.
With the exception of some
tlashy broken field running by
Bill Folks of Tennessee, the dra
retic arm signals of referee ".
Napoleon Rivers represented the
chief action in the second period.
The Eagles claWed their way to
another score in the third period
with a drive that began on their
own 40 and which demonstrated
that they had something in their
bag of tricks besides off tackle
plays.
Galbreath took a Tennessee
kick on the 40 and was doWned
on his A yard lin. Amour went
to the 49 and Britt made 1t first
down on the Tennessee A. Linz

thrown back to the 81 for three

pass down to the 25 and Britt
again made it first down on the
Tennesseans 81.
Galbreath then started to his
right, cut back over his own
left tackle and ran twenty-one
yards to score standing up. Line

rlent for the extra point but there
was a horn on the play and the
Eagles drew a five yard penalty

next attempt Lineberger again
kicked a perfect placement into
the stands
