On top of that we don't know how bad off Kirby Moore is. He has a badly bruised right arm and couldn't play in the second half except to punt.

(AP) - Tennessee blended the running of sophomores Charlie Fulton and Walter Chadwick with a tight defense and whipped South Carolina 24-3 Saturday before a homecoming football crowd of 38,519. Chadwick, playing in his sec- ond college game, scored the Vols' first two touchdowns on runs of five and one yards, and set up the third with a 33-yard sprint to the Carolina 25. From that point, Fulton hit end David Leake with a pass in the end zone for Tennessee's third TD, which put the contest out of reach of the Gamecocks. Leaks made good the third of three straight extra points. The victory was Tennessee's second of the season and though South Carolina is from the Atlantic Coast Conference it counted in the Southeastern Conference championship race. The Vols are now 1-0-1 in the title chase, with only a 13-13 tie against Auburn blotting their record.
