  SEWANEE DRIVES OVER MOCCASINS Miller, MiIard And Kent Star In Tiger Victory Over Chattanooga CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov B. Special. .)-Sewanee’s powerful driv- ing line, headed by Blood” Miller, Milard and Kent, ably seconded by the other four members of the for ward septette. smashed the way for 26-o victory over the University of Chattanooga here today. Long runs by Harris and Heinie Powers figured in the attack. The contest was not nearly so onesided as the score might indicate. Chattta- noogal Keeping the ball through the first half, after Sewanee had marched from the kickoff to the touchdown. Four times the Tigers held for downs near their goal line and after the last time Harris broke loose for 80 yards and second touchdown. In the third period, Chattanooga again kept the ball in Sewanee ter ritory, but lacked the punch to get even close to scoring. As the third period closed, Heinie Powers was away for a 40-yard run and putting the ball on the 6yard line the fourth period. Chattanooga stopped the Tigers at the one-yard line, but Gates kick was blocked by Miller and Kent fell on the ball for 8 touchdown. After this, a beauty return of the Kickoff by Heinie Powers, a great run back of a punt by the same players and some hefty tackle rush ing by Graham Powers put Sewanee close to the line. Chattanooga held for downs, but again the punt was blocked and recovered by Kent on Chattanooga’s six-yard line. It took four tries to punt it over, Barker barely easing the ball against the chalk mark on the fourth at tempt. Chattanooga’s chief assent on offense, the forward pass, was use less as the players were unable to hold the wet ball and forced to re- sort to tackle rushing they could make littte progress. Captain Cate came into the game In spite of his injury, but could do little good other than punt superbly, while Gray, the new fullback, was the leading asset on attack.
