BY BOHEMIAN c. BULeER.

BY BOHEMIAN c. BULGER. Ranking under the ignominious de- feat of a year ago the Auburn Tiger emitted fierce growl yesterday and with his tail curled tore the Alabama line in- to shreds and ended the afternoons bat tie with a score of 2s to 6 attached u the Haunting banners of the Orange and Blue.
 While tn. result was not unexpected a bit of uneasiness pervaded the rendezvous of Auburn supporters throughout the day and it was not until the Crimson and White goal had been twice crossed did the long Dsnt up yells break forth and it was then tkat solid embankment of root CTS wearing the Orange and Blue tore loose in all the fury of college boy en- thusiasm. t looked as if a torpedo had exploded in the midst of the gaily be- decked Auburn sympathlzers and hats, canes, flags and every wearable object was hurled In the air while boys ard men danced on the rough pine boards tugging each other as tears of joy streamed down their jubilant faces Hats were crushed, overcoats were torn, canes were broken and hundreds of spectators felt the agony of bruised corn.
 Tigers Supremely Happy.
 It was all in the game, however, and every supporter of the famous Tigers went away supremely happy. They had vrested fl n Alabama the honors which they had held for the brief period of one year and once more the champion ship of Alabama rests in the placid little town in the southeastern section of the state.
 The Crimson and White was complete ly crushed. Students and alumni from the old university starting out with hopes of another victory left the field down. cast and delected. They had hoped against hope only to lose and with a defeat ignominious Their only consolation lay in the fact that Alabama had scored and by showing the ball through on straight, hard work after taking 1t from the vietors on downs.
 Streets t-iled With Enthusiasts. Long before the hour of the game the streets of Birmingham were packed and damned with college boys, pretty gtrls and gaily decorated traps and buggies. Everybody seemed happy and enthusiasm was al its height. Bands of students from each college would march along the busi- ness thoroughfares giving college yells, singing songs and waving their colors de- fiantly when they met an opposition force. When two of these enthusiastic crowds would meet there would be a series of rival yells, each tryin to drown out the other to gain the applause of the neutral bystanders.
 Alabama came in at noon over the Ala bama Great Southern and hundreds of old students were at the station to meet them The Auburn rooters came in on special over the Central of Georgia, and equally as large a crowd was on hanu to welcome them to the field of battle.
 Like Band of Indians.
 Jumping from the train like band of Indians the Auburn rooters let forth the following yell:
 Auburn! Auburn:
 Is our cry
 V-i-c-t-o-r-y!
 The Alabama crowd came back with
 Hirokee! Rirokee
 U. A! U. Al Varsitee.
 Varsity rah! Varsity rah!
 Let her go, Varsity rah, whoo rah!
 Rah whoo rec!
 U-ni-v!
 Hey mp, Hey up! 'Varsitee!
 Varsity rah Varsity rah!
 Varsity tigers Sissl Boom! Bah! Auburn then answered with:
 Hippety hus Hippety hus, What in the world is the matter with us?
 Nothing at all! Nothing at all
 We play football!
 With these parting shots the crowd marched away to the various hotels and Q ofoIoelx were again lined in for hat tie.
 Within ten minutes from the time the whistle sounded and an Auburn toe sent the pigskin whirling into Alabama ter ritory it was clearly seen that the orange and blue had won. After that it was clearly a case of the size of the score.
 Alabam Made Valiant Defense. Throughout the game Alabama made a valiant defense, but Auburn was sim ply too fast for them and practically played the men from Tuscaloosa off their feet. In the second half however. Ala hama showed wonderful pluck and after taking the ball from Auburn on downs plunged their way to the orange and blue goal and finally sent the ball over by hard buck and kicked the goal. This was the only sweet morsel afforded the Alabama rooters. and it came as bitter dose to Auburn who up to that time Lad allowed no team to cross the goal.
 Foy of Auburn was easily the star per former of the game, and to him Auburn owes many of her long gains, which came at a very necessary time. This young ster is as quick as cat on his feet and no small amount of iostling could swerve him from his course. He held on with a dogged determination and to this spirit is attributed his success. For Alabama Burke was easily the star, but Wyatt played nice game at quarter and Sar- tain did some beautiful work in the line.
 Streit and Lacey, both Birmingham boys. did some excellent work for Au- burn, and they were used continually against the line. Reynolds was used for fast trick work and almost invariably gained his distance.
 Within 1ye minutes after the kick off Auburn took the ball from Alabama and
