Vanderbilt went from its own 27 for its first sixer in the fourth. Two long runs by McDavid and a 28-yard pass from Johnny Goodgame to Tony Corcoran helped to plant the ball on the 2 for McDavid to escort across. It took Vandy only four running plays to go from its own 42 to its next score, McDavid taking it over from the four. For the final touchdown, the Commies traveled 5(5 yards, McDavid going over from the one.

Kentucky JA 6551 In 1st and unbudging determination was wonderful to behold and was a thing of beauty that will be a joy forever to those Cardinal partisans, but darn it! it got those Commodores mad and from there on they shut the gates of mercy. They didn't ease up after they once got rolling and winging and were even throwing passes in an attempt to score when the count on the Cardinals was ten and on the scoreboard 68-0, They piled up five touchdowns in the second quarter to lead 34-0 to the half, added 13 more points in the third period and heaped on 21 more in the last period. LOSE 15 YARDS The Cards didn't score a first down, lost a total of 15 yards running the ball, gained only nine Statistics: Vndy U. L.

Those Commodores made 10 touchdowns, 17 first downs and 268 yards rushing the ball, but it was in the air that they wrote beauty as artistically as a sky writer. They completed nine of 12 heaves beautifully tossed and on several instances incredibly caught for 204 yards. "FIELD GOAL" In a drive, led by J. C.

Moore, Vandy went from U.L.'s 40-yard line for its first marker, Jenkins carrying it over from the three. He really kicked a field goal something like he kicked to en The Allen Period able Vandy to top Purdue 3-0 instead of the conventional placement for the extra point, booting it over after a 15-yard penalty that nullified his first conversion had pushed Vandy back to the 17 for another try. Before the half was over four more touchdowns came with the speed of pulse beats. An 18-yard toss from Art Rebrovich to Richter accounted for the first one after a 23-yard flip from Rebrovich to Moore had paved the way. TWO PASSES Two successive passes one for 13 yards from Binks Bus-miaer to Richter and the scoring one for 23 yards from Busmiaer to Tom Owen in the end zone brought the next counter and six plays later Vandy had tallied again.

Attempting to pass from his own 24, Hugh Wright tossed into the arms of Owen who was dragged down on the 7. On the second of two thrusts, McDavid, who scored four of the touchdowns, went over. Just before the half Vandy registered again on a 20-yard heave from Red Burns to Jimmy Webb, who not only excelled on pass receptions but who also was a demon on end-a rounds. JENKINS SCORES It was one of his ends-arounds for 23 yards that sent Vandy on its way to its first touchdown in the third. It finally came with Vandy (68) Pos.

45c 55C, 750, 51 By TOMMY FITZGERALD. Csnrirr-Jonrnal 8tff Writer. They were behind 68-0, but in this moment of despair and hopelessness they called for the old, moth-eaten Statue of Liberty play deep in their own territory in a gesture that was sadly symbolic, suggesting as it did another little democracy cf football clinging to the torch cf freedom as it was being en-pulfed by one of the totalitarian of the gridiron. Yes, U. of L.

lost to big Vanderbilt 68-0 Saturday on the du Pont grid, but we'll get even with them next year. We won't play them. HOLD ON ONE They won, yes, and that's not surprising. They won, yes, 68-0 snd that's not surprising either. But what is surprising is that those Cardinals battled like that little band of Spartans did at the narrow pass of Thermopylae against the vast and powerful hosts of Xerxes to repulse those colossal Commodores on their one-foot line in the first quarter.

And to take the ball on downs they stopped without yielding an inch the mighty Jack Jenkins, high scorer of the Southeastern Conference. And this was not the only time, U.L. made Vandy eat the ball in that first quarter. They shoved it down their throats earlier when they tossed the Commies for three straight losses to take the ball on downs after the Commies had penetrated to the Louisville 36 on three straight first downs. THING OF BEAUTY The surprising resistance and the lighting fury of the Cards had the 4,000 customers, who had sat down expecting the worst like a newlywed husband facing his wife's first biscuits, to rub their eyes in disbelief as the scoreboard showed 0-0 at the end of the first quarter.

This Spartan spirit this for- titude and undaunted courage Murray Hands Mid Temi. 34-6 Spanking Special to The Courier-Journal. Murray, Nov. 15. In their last home football game of the season, Murray State's Thoroughbreds showed power to spare in trouncing Middle Tennessee's Blue Raiders 34-6 here this afternoon.

The 'Breds won going away by scoring a touchdown in the first, fecond, third, and two in the fourth quarters. The win brought Murray's S.I.A.A. standing up to .500. Only Western at Bowling Green next Thursday remains on the Murray card. The Thoroughbreds piled up 25 first downs to 5 by the Raiders who did very little raiding this bright sunny afternoon.

Carl Ferrara, his last home Came, scored two touchdowns, two extra points, and gained 112 of the 343 yards Murray picked up. Murray tried 16 passes, completing five for 86 yards. Middle Tennessee tried 28 passes and completed 10 for 97 yards. U. S.
