Cotton Bowl Will Be Low-Scoring Cherry Predicts
Austin, Tex., Dec. 19—(U.P.)—Coach Blair Cherry said today his Texas university football team will wage a defensive battle against Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl here new Year's Day.
Cherry predicted a low-scoring game.
He saw Tennessee beat Kentucky and regards his Jan. 1 opponent as "a good, fundamental ball club" powered by a line that's "tough, pointed out that Coach Bob Neyrugged and alert."
"And they not only have a good defense against rushing and passing" Cherry said, "but one of the best defenses against punt returns."
The graying, 49-year-old coach land's Tennesseeeans pose a problem that Texas has rarely faced in the four years he has run the team—a straight single wingback offensive.
Cherry, who installed the T-formation at Texas in 1947, will rely on a combination of power and passing which brought the longhorns nine victories in their 10 games this season.
Byron Townsend, 188 - pound bruising fullback who tied for Southwest Conference scoring honors with 84 points, heads up Cherry's ground attack with support from H. J. (Bubba) Shands, fleet Gib Dawson and a brilliant punt return specialist, halfback Bobby Dillon.
Townsend gained 841 yards this season to rank behind Texas A&M's Bob Smith as a rusher.
