FOOTBALL THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19, 1941. FOOTBALL SECTION 4 Jenkins Big Gun As Vandy Hurdles Georgia Tech 14 to 7 By ESCAR THOMPSON Associated Prsss Sports WrIUr Nashville, Oct. 18. For two years Jack Jenkins, 200-pound blocking back from Texarkana, Texas, has been clearing the paths for his Vanderbilt teammates, but they let him carry the ball Saturday and he personally conducted the Commodores to a 14 to 7 victory over Georgia Tech. Some 15,000 spectators saw the rangy Texan crash through the Yellow Jackets' forward wall In the second and third periods for touchdowns and kick the extra points to account for all the Commodores' scores and keep their record for the season unsullied.

And when he wasn't blasting through the Tech line, which he pierced 15 times for 64 yards, Jenkins was stopping constant Jacket offensive threats which finally produced a touchdown a minute before the game ended. Vanderbilt. only unbeaten and untied team in the Southeastern Conference, marched 76 yards for its first counter. Sprinkled in this drive, the longest of the game, were a 20-yard pass from John Burns, sophomore halfback, to End Sonny Baird and a 36-yard gallop by Art Rebrovich which put the ball on Tech's 12. Jenkins smashed over in four line plunges.

A bad kick by Capt. Charley Sanders who turned in a magnificent performance at tackle for Tech which went out on his own 36-yard stripe, set the stage for Vandy's second score. A line play and pass, Burns to Jimmy Webb, sophomore end, put the ball on Tech's 13 and again Jenkins slammed through on four smashes at the line. PASS INTERCEPTED Tech's shifty with Sophomore Dave Eldredge and Fullback Bob Plaster supplying the chief potions, carried to Vandy's 5-yard line in the third period before the Vandy line stemmed the threat. Again early in the fourth the Jackets stormed to Vandy's 14, but Rebrovich gobbled in little Johnny Bosch's pass on his own goal line and ran back 15 yards to halt this drive.

The Jackets were not to be denied, however, and in the last three minutes reeled off 58 yards for their lone touchdown, R. W. Shelton driving over from the 4-yard line after flipping a 25-yard pass to Eldredge. Tech picked up 17 first downs to Vanderbilt's nine and out-rushed the Commodores 209 yards to 181, but most of this offensive splurge came in the final quarter when the Vandy regulars were sitting on the bench.
