With the aid of a 15-yard penalty and a 21-yard run by Bernie Rohling, the Commodores reached the 1-yard line, and Jenkins bulled over and kicked the point to run his total for the season to 90.

VOLS RULE Decisive as the score was, it hardly tells the supremacy Tennessee held over its old foe in their 38th meeting. Failure of his receivers to hold Johnny Butler's accurately thrown passes halted three Tennessee marches within the Vanderbilt 20-yard two of them bogging down on the visitors 1-yard line. The senior scatback who earned fame as a great scoring threat, thus ended his career without scoring a. touchdown all season. The Vols rolled up 15 first downs to Vandy's 7, outrushed kept them continuously kicking from behind their own goal, the Commodores came suddenly to life near the close of the third period.

Taking the kickoff after Tennessee's third touchdown, the black-shirted griddtrs marched to Tennessee's 41 as the quarter ended, mainly on passes by John Burns.

The ball went wide. Mississippi's frantic aerial barrage in the final quarter failed to click, and the ball game ended with State in possession on the Bulldog's 30 after Black intercepted Hovious' final shot.

Hovious and Hapes banged their way to the eight, where Hapes was thrown back on fourth down with barely six inches to go.
