    GREAT TENNESSEE BACKS BEAT CHATTANOOGA. 200 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. October 5 R-Tennessee’s great halfback combination, Eugene McEver and Buddy Hackman, jumped into the form that made them famous last year and behind a fighting line ran over three touchdowns to defeat the University of Chattanooga Moccasins. 20 to o. McEver scored twice. Hackman, once, and Dodd, quarterback, completed two of three trys for point after touch down. Chattanooga’s most serious threat a determined drive just before the first half ended. was blocked on Tennessee’s 12-yard line by Jim Finney, center, who intercepted Overmyer’s pass and ran it so yards up the field. The whistle thwarted the Tennessee threat.
