Defensive leadership went to Van- derbllt, whose Commodores permitted their nine opponents to register but I points throughout ths seaaon and the fact that consistent play rather' to the piling up of touchdowns "at times, determines the Winers Is shown by a recapitulation of records. Neither Alabama nor Virginia Mili tary Institute was among the teams which cams through without a south ern rival and North Carolina was ths only one of ths triumphant three which rank Vlthln the 10 highest scoring machines. The Tar Hsels stood 10th, whlls Georgia Teeh and Vsnderbllt the other two teams. were rather far down the list More than 100 games were played during the aeaaon and' In 100 of which records were available tonight, a total of 1,711 points were made, the winners averaging 14.17 points per game and the losers 1.4 points.
