The orange and blue of Auburn went tiosrrrotn defeat yesterday afternoon be- foreysha old gold and black Of Yander;75sa bill, The score was 70 too. i5 l6 rsgrs ed The attendance,at the game was a great surpfise and disappointment, not only to. the .Hsnagers Of the two teams but to { loveraTof thergame in Montgomery. A combina ton 1bf circumstances accounted for thik-in tbe first place it was the last EatNfday aftepsoon before the Fall Ees.n tfvab and of T9ourse all of thes businsssf men and clerks were unusually busy. and hgafha there was a packed matinee at the Monfgoxpery theatre to witness the first perfqgmance in Montgomery of the dram 1tfxatioJh of Winston Churchil.s famous noysLf '.Richard Carvel."
 WitPvPn this. however. and notwith- staqdknE the final score, the game was thoEoNghly enjoyable one, and the Au- burn D tsam demonstrated the fact that they are liable to settle down and make ! things exceedingly interesting for some body before the season is much older. In aualyZing the two teams several things should be taken into consideration. the first and Foremost of which is that Van derbilt had a team average weight of 172 pounds. while Auburn was only 152. Again. most of the Vanderbilt team were veteran players of several seasons hard this year is composed of new men. who naturally are a bit green. Yet. the Au- burn team put up a game of fast foot ball that would have donn credit to a much older team. The steady teamwork Of the Vanderbilt team showed the effect of hard. consistent training, and both Coach Watkins and Manager Marshall have right to feel proud of them. The star of the team Is undoubtedly Captain Edgarten at fullback. and it was treat 10 watch him making gaips and bucking the line, Simmons at right end also play ed great ball. as did Hume, the plucky little quarterback. For Auburn. probably the greatest game. next to Captain Parks. was by Patterson. the game Montgomery boy who tocx McAdory.s place at right end Coach Williams has made won- derful development in the Auburn team. but there is one criticism which he will profit bv-the men tackle entirely too game. however. and there is lots of time vet fer them to recsifv the faults that their friends see in their work.
 Both teams had rorsing send offs when they left for their homes last night. and the best of good fellowshin nrevailed he- tween Managers Bragg and Marshall, the two coaches and the individual members of both teams.
