"A "Band Day" crowd of 17,000 saw Auburn's highpowered Tigers win its second straight game of the season, crushing a fairly strong Chattanooga Moccasin team 40-7. Coach Shug Jordan used a total of 43 players as the Tigers scored in every quarter while using various means of racking up the six touchdowns against the Tennesseans. Auburn's first unit, which played about a third of the game, scored twice, the second unit tallied twice and a combination of third and fourth units added two TD's. Six different Tigers tallied six-pointers in the high-scoring affair. Quarterbacks Johnny Kern and Bryant Harvard scored on "keep" plays; Jimmy "Big Red" Phillips, scored by recovering a blocked punt behind the Chattanooga goal line; regular fullback Billy Atkins plunged across for another TD; Pat Meagher scored once and Jimmy Reynolds, fullback on the Tigers' third unit, scored the final TD on a beautiful 34-yard sprint. Chattanooga's lone score came in the third quarter when they drove 80 yards in 11 plays. Quarterback John Green passed to the end Jim Tucker for the 24-yard touchdown."
