I have it as being played in 1931 but yes TC did win 126-0. Below is a section from Mr. John Oliver's "Looking Back" Article that he provides for the local paper. This particular article was published on 1-3-19 but I believe he has included this info in other articles as well. 

"We quote from a 1931 article in The Tennessean: “Trousdale County had one of the most successful football seasons in history. The team was under the direction of Eugene McIlwain… the team won eight out of nine… they amassed the huge amount of 364 points while opponents were able to score only 79 points.

“Philip Dickens, great running back, one of the state’s leading scorers, scoring 32 touchdowns and adding seventeen converts for a total of 202 points. In one game this season Dickens scored thirteen touchdowns. He was a triple threat man and the type of player that would make any team in the state.”

The game where Dickens scored 13 touchdowns was against Westmoreland and the final score was 126-0. Not mentioned in the article is that one reason Phil scored so many points is that the team was so small that there were no players to take his place and let him rest – as if he needed to!"

No Doubt Mr. Dickens was a bad dude in his time. 

You are correct. It was 1931. I finally found the article that our vice principal wrote years ago about Westmoreland’s first team.  He was my history teacher in middle school.  Here is the article.
