KNOXVILLE; Tenn,— (AP) —
Here’s proof that football statistics
can be deceiving:
Tennessee’'s 1949 record was
seven wins, two defeats and one
tie—yet the Volunteers’ opponents
piled up 112 first downs to Ten
nessee’s 89 and out-gained them
from scrimmage 1,818 yards to
1,283. But in touchdowns, Tenn- *
essee netted 31 to the opposition’s
15.
