THE CAME IN pETAIL.

The first score of the game was made by Kuykendall's brilliant run.
 Auburn had the kickoff after Nash ville's score. and started down the field toward the only touch down 1t made during the game. Tke ball was downed about seventeen yards from NashviIIe,s 8 goal and in that territory a great deal of hard fighting followed. The. ball went over from one side to the other until finally J. Gwinn, one of Auburn's big tackles, got 1t and plowed through Nash ville's line for six yards and touch down. Captain Parkes failed to kick the goal for Auburn, so the score stood 6 to in Nashville's favor.
 It was then Nashville's turn to kick-ofr and the ball was downed on Auburn's ao- yard line. Captain Parkes tried his half backs for two long end runs, but both failed to gain. He next tried to gain through Nashville's center but met with no better success. The ball went over to Nashville about the 35-yard line, and the maroon and sky blue men then proceeded to tear holes through Auburn's guards and tackles. It took only about four. ''tears'' to win touch down, the last two. ten yards each in length, being made by Right Guard -dajors, who got the credit of Nashville's second touch down. Blackburn failed for goal and the score stood Il to for Nashville.
 Auburn kicked off aftef this and Nashville stopped the ball on their 24-yard line Two long brilliant end runs by Kuykendall followed shortly afterward, which took the ball back to the center of the field. He was jonah for Auburn's tacklers and seemed to brush by them with ease. Nashville followed up this ad- vantage by series of bucks and mass plays through the Auburn line and when time was called had the ball within twenty-four yards of Auburn's goal In- cessant squabbling characterized the lat ter part of this half which was not only extremely disagreeable to the spectators but prevented anything like fast play.

A|abamians Completely Out- played by the Men from
 Tennessee AUBURN'S ENDS WERE WEAK
Nashville Scored First Touchdown In Less Than Two Minutes of Piay-Auburn Men Wept
 When Leaving Field.

With a long string of victories to it's credit, representing nine years work on the gridiron. the Auburn team came to Birmingham yesterday confident of talk ing the football game from the Univer- sity of Nashville. Nashville, with long string of defeats to it's credit, arrived in the city determined to win from Auburn or give up playing football. And Nash vile won, the score at the close of the game being: Nashville 2S; Auburn D.
 Perhaps 5000 people gazed on while the long-haired knights of the gridiron raised the dust at the ball park. Hundreds cheered when their favorite team made a good play, and hundreds groaned when their champions went down before the fierce onslaught of the opponents. It was good game and poor game mingled to- gether. Auburn was the favorite in bet ting circles on account of the famous reputation In years gone by. and last night there were many rooters who off, fered odds wishing they had never heard of football, and there were supporters of the Nashville eleven who kicked them selves because they failed to cover some of the money.
 The grandstand was resplendent with fair women, handsome men and gaudy colors. The orange and blue of Auburn and the blue and crimson of Nashville presented striking contrast. Great en- thusiasm prevailed before the game be- gan, and except for the yell by the Nash vile men for the defeated Auburn team, there was hushed silence when the game closed. Auburn men wept, Auburn sponsors looked gloomy. and Auburn sup porters told each other what ought to have been done. But Nashville won, and here is how it happened:

He made plucky run of about thirty yards toward Nashville's goal be- fore he was downed It was one of the best plays of the afternoon credited to Auburn. Time was called at this point, the final score being 23 to 5.

if the building would be rebuilt,

if the building would be rebuilt,
or if a horticultural and agricul-
tural building would replace the
one burned down. This, of
course was the talk of the people
outside of the authorities. Now
there is a sort of a general feel
ing that something permanent is
about to be inaugurated at the
college as a result of the recent
ly acquired appropriation of $25,-
900. It is also rulnored, posi-
bly, without foundation, that the
outcome of the matter will yet
be substantial building for hor-
ticultural and agricultural inter-
ests. 1t is sincerely hoped that
this may prove true, as it is
greatly needed. We have a
mechanical hall, we'll equipped,
now let us have the ether, or
agricultural hall. AS far as can
be ascertained at present, there
has been nothing d1vulged by
the regents that would warrant
one in stating that o A c is to
have any more buildings, but
the public keeps an eye on
affairs, and this is the conclusion,
Or hope it has arrived at. May
it prove correct.
