Lynn Bomar's play was exemplary. Take Bomar out of the Vandy lineup, said Hebert, and Tulane would have won the game by three touchdowns. Bob Rives was also given praise, called No. 1 gallant in the line. Blinkey Horn of the Nashville Tennessean, wrote of the outcome, Back up the slope the Commodores have started. They did not scale the rim in their 17-0 triumph over Tulane, but they shook from their feet much of the muck which mired them in Texas. They did not reach the splendor of the sunlight, in harvesting two touchdowns and a field goal out of the fog. Vision of the peak is denied the Commodores but no longer is there so thick a blur over the binoculars.
