Lexington career.
Kentucky was only a 61a point
underdog at game time and its
hackers were hopeful Of an upset
because seven of the nine touch
downs scored on Tennessee this
season had been via the air. But
so cagily did Neyland plot his de-
fenses that only once did Ken
lucky threaten to make a real
battle of it.
The Wildcats one big oppor-
tunity came at the beginning OF
the third period, with Tennessee
holding a 14-0 lead. Harry Jones
152-pound scatback from Louis
vile and a brilliant returner OF
kicks all afternoon, carried the
second-half kickoff to his 80. Ken
lucky then passed and marched
to a first down on the Vols six
yard line.
Parilli Fails on Sneak.
At this point Bryant pulled out
all the stops. Off a new spread
formation. Harry Jones, whose
twin brother, Larry, also played
today. was sent crashing to the
three-yard line. Tom Fillion. a
sophomore from Owensboro, KY,
who led all Kentucky runners with
SO yards, gained another yard on
second down. On the next play
Jones got as far as the one foot
line and the air was electric. Out
played as they'd been, Kentucky
still figured to have a chance il
the score could be reduced to 14-7.
On fourth down. Capt. Parilli
tried quarterback sneak. But
the Tennessee line, a diving, say
age wall all day. stopped him by
inches and the ball went over to
the Vols.
The next so seconds placed the
game beyond reacn of the Wild
cats. Lauricella punted out to
midfleld. A personal foul gave
Kentucky the ball on the Vols SO
with first down, but at thls point
Parrilli was chased back and
thrown on his own 80. AS he was
tackled. he fumbled and Tennessee
recovered on the Wildcat "a.
Wildcats Fall Apart.
Having lost approximately 10
yards in so seconds, the Wildcats
seemed to fall apart. They went
offside. Then Fullback Andy Kozar
and Lauricella picked up a first
down on the 20. Two more thrusts
by this pair, plus another offside
against Kentucky. put the ball on
the eight-yard line. A flrst-down
pass, Lauricella to Vince Kaseta,
sophomore end, from Brockton,
Mass, was good for a touchdown
and, instead of trailing only 14-7,
Kentucky supporters found their
favorites hopelessly behind, 21-0.
Tennessee took charge of the
battle from the outset. The Vols

second pass was intercepted. All
during the opening quarter the
Vols were pressing the attack and.
finally, they scored when Parilli
was forced to punt to Capt. Bert
Rechichar, offensive wingback and
safety man.
Rechichar returned to Ken
tucky'S 43. On a brilliant enc
run, Lauricella picked up 80 yards
and at this point Gen. Neyland
exposed the pattern he was to
use all day. When the ball was
