The season was also notable for the victory over Vanderbilt by a single Scrappy Moore drop kick,'[2] in which All-American Vanderbilt end Lynn Bomar also suffered his career ending injury.[3] Moore's field goal was the last made by a Bulldog until seventeen years later when Frank Sinkwich did so against Florida with a broken jaw in 1941.

All-Southerns included end Smack Thompson and tackle Jim Taylor.
