LARGE CROWD SAW THE CONTEST
Auburn Played Remarkably Fast Game. Interference Was Best Ever Seen on an Alabama Gridiron-De-
 fensive Work Poor

The Auburn tiger lashed his tail and the football team of Tennessee mountaineers quailed before the onslaught and suffered disastrous defeat.
 When time was called at the end of the second half the score stood: Auburn 2S; University of Tennessee 0. The Tennes- scans made a game fight, but were out played at every point of the game, and from the first kickoff they hadn't the slightest chance of even scoring.
 Yesterday was d beautiful day for foot ball. and a great crowd enjoyed the first college game of the season. From one-e end of the field to the other there was push ing showing line of people straining their muscles to see every play in the game. The college rooters were there and with tin horns, megaphones and college yells they cheered the Alabamians on to victory. There were few ardent Tennessee rooters on the ground, but the Alabamians were decidedly in the majority, and nothing but Auburn yells could be heard.
 From a technical point of view the game was not intensely interesting. From the off, lI chance, and the experts turned their at tention to Auburn's tactics. They used the Princeton system of end running, and as 1t proved very successful there were few other plays put into action The interfer- ence of the Alabama men was beautiful and nothing like it has ever been seen on a Birmingham gridiron. The mountaineers were utterly unable to break it up, and the Alabama half-backs and ends would make gains as they pleased.
 The defensive work of both teams was rather weak, and neither line could stop the bucking. Newman, Tennessee's full back. ploughed through Auburn's line at the beginning, but he evidently tired, and in the latter part of the game could make few gains.
 Though Auburn played her usual snappy game, the men were slow to line up, and the signals were unnecessarily delayed. This slowness caused the old players who stood on the side line considerable worry. When this defect is remedied Auburn will have one of the swiftest teams in the south.
 The Game.
 The game began promptly at o'clock. As brisk wind was blowing directly across the field there was no choice of goals. Tennessee took the north goal, how ever and Newman kicked off The ball fell on Auburn's ten yard me and Thomas advanced it ten yards. The Auburn team then lined up and returned the kick, gaining thirty-five yards. The ball was then in Tennessee's hands and they started a series of bucks. Newman plunged ha 1ah han several gains of two, three and five years. They soon tried the guards back formation which net ted them a gain of five yards. It looked little gloomy for Auburn, but the men got in the game and finally stopped the kick and sent the pigskin thirty yards toward Tennessee' goal. A big mountaineer fum- bled the ball and Parkes of Auburn fell on it. The ball was now in Auburn's posses sion within 60 yards of Tennessee's goal. Thomas made beautiful run around left end for thirty-five yards, and the Auburn rooters went wild, but on the next play Yarbrough took the pigskin around right end for twenty-five yards and after buck for two yards the ball was on the Tenne5- scans ten-yard line The mountaineers fought hard but they could not stop the rushes Yarbrough then got the ball and took 1t around flBnC end TOT d lOuCHuoWh, landing it squarely between the goal posts. Yarbrough kicked a perfect goal and the score stood Auburn 6, Tennessee 0.
 Tennessee then kicked off again and the ball was advanced by several beautiful end runs by Thomas, Pelham and Tar brough to within twenty yards of the mountaineers' goal Here it rested when time was called for the end of the first half.
 The Second Half.
 As the whistle put the ball in play Mar tin kicked off for Auburn. The ball shot through the air for twenty-five yards right into the arms of a Tennessee man, who brought 1t back five yards. On the first down the Knoxville man was downed in his tracks The fullback then bucked three yards. On the guards back forma- tion the Tennesseans failed to make the necessary five yards and the ball went over The Auburn men then covered dis tance at will, and Yorbrough, Pelham, Harvey, Thomas and Bivings kept up the pretty work, and Yarbrough finally landed the pigskdn for another touchdown. He made a pretty punt out and kicked the goal Score: Auburn 12, Tennessee O. Within five minutes Pelham had made an- other touchdown.
