Centre college swept the University of Tennessee machine from its patch in it’s march towards a southern champion ship. 32 to 0. here today. The game was played in q steady rain during the first half and the wet field cramped the style of Flash Covington, all-southern quarter, whose brilliance was over shadowed by the magnificent playing of Rabenstein. Centre scored in every quarter. two touchdowns coming in the very final period. one when Rabenstein intercepted a forward pass and scampered 63 yards for q touchdown. The first touchdown of the game resulted from a consistent drive of 80 yards with Rabenstein. Gordy and Covington taking turns and ripping through the Vols front. Priest, Kubale and Bush, the heart of the visitors line, played havoc with the Vols opened gaping holes for their backs and piled up interference on the defense. Centre earned 19 first downs to five for the Vols. They averaged nearly six yards on each line plunge. Tennessee threatened twice, once in the first quarter when four bucks from the five-yard line failed to carry the ball over, and a similar number of attempts from the 10-yard line in the final period were just as useless.
