Tulane and Vanderbilt both carry 1-5 records into today's contest, and both have had their share of heartbreak playing two of the nation's toughest schedules with sophomore-laden ball clubs. The sophomores, however, are coming of age. Two Saturdays ago, Vandy sprung the upset of the season on Alabama by a score of 14-10. A week later, Tulane came back from a 22-0 deficit to take a 26-22 win over Pittsburgh. The Green Wave took it on the chin from Notre Dame by a count of 37-0, and Vandy dropped a 41-20 decision to Florida last week, and both squads will be trying to regain that all-important mo mentum this afternoon. The Vandy pass defense, which was first in the SEC last fall, was riddled for five touchdown passes by Florida's John Reaves and Tulane quarterbacks Rusty Lachaussee and David Abercrombie will probably go looking for a piece of that action this afternoon. Steve Barrios and Maxie LeBlanc, Tulane's fine sophomore pass catching duo, continue their battle for the team pass receiving leadership this week as both come into the Vanderbilt game with 14 receptions. Tulane Head Coach Jim Pittman alternated tailbacks Duke Chappuis, Jack Laborde and Bob Marsh all and fullbacks Dave Richard, Barney King and Jim Batey freely throughout the Notre Dame contest, and you can look for more of the same today. Chappuis is the Green Wave's leading rusher after six games with 274 yards gained, but Batey is only four yards behind at 270. The Tulane defense has taken quite a pounding the past two weeks from the giant offenses fielded by Pitt and Notre Dame, and it will take quite an effort from Ricky Kingrea, Mike Walker and John Onofrio and Co. to stop Vandy ace Doug Mathews this afternoon.
