Game summaries

Temple

Mayberry starred in a close loss to coach Pop Warner's Temple Owls, keeping the 10,000 spectators "in an uproar for nearly three periods."

Georgia

The 1937 team defeated the Georgia Bulldogs in the two teams' annual rivalry game for the first time in eight years.

Postseason

Tiger Mayberry ranked second in the country with 818 rushing yards; only Byron White exceeded Mayberry's rushing total that year.

Mayberry also intercepted six passes when the Gators' opponents only threw 57 balls, and was a first-team All-SEC selection by the conference coaches and sportswriters on behalf of the Associated Press.
