CUMBERLAND IS ROLLED IN MUD
--------------------------------------
L.M.U. Emerges Victoriously -- Tuesday's Game Is One Sided
Affair and Slow to Watch.
--------------------------------------
Lincoln Memorial University defeated
Cumberland College here yesterday afternoon 47 to 0 in a game one-sided and made
interesting only by the swift and baffling broken field running of Tex Turner,
L.M.U. quarter.
Cumberland played a clean hard game, but L.M.U. was
stronger. The first touchdown came within the first few minutes of the game and
was the result of completed forward pass. Wilson carried the ball across. After
that the touchdowns came regularly and evenly.
The L.M.U. line showed great power on the defense,
breaking through and throwing Cumberland back for losses, and also in opening up
good holes for the backs of L.M.U. to gain.
In the third and fourth quarter Coach Garrett ran in
his second string men who scored three touchdowns and held Cumberland scoreless.
Holsberry, Wilson and Hare, ends, were taken from the
game in the first quarter to give less experienced men opportunity to play
Manly, center, and Surber, tackle, proved their worth by their fine defensive
playing.
