 Auburn. Nov. 1l.--(staff Correspond shade diferent from the Orange and Blue. but they waved triumphantly this afternoon on the Auburn campus when the doughty eleven from the home home of of Donahue by the score of 26 to 0. It was a furious mill, but Auburn was always. on the bottom. It was pathetic day with the poiytechnio Is,y ;ddn,, one week before. Today they were lined up against a machine that is but little less powerful in every department And the Auburn eleven was crippled. That was undoubtedly responsible for the lop-sided score.
 Humphrey Foy, the. great Auburn l ground gainer, was not in the game. He saw the game from buggy seat. his 1 wrenched ankle all swathed in scrimmage with the scrubs Thursday. He may be in the next game on the l schedule. but if the heodoo of the sea. son keeps up its pio9dy paee as It ,s nif1 naf1 awaits the cohorts of Mike Donohue. l Despite the absence of Half-Back Foy and the wirey end. Williamson. who was injured few days ago, the piucky game. The odds were against them. They did not meet with any | superior coaching or training In thls any difference in the training 1t was in Auburn's favor. Three men of the Gold and Purple were laid out to one The continual laying out of the Clemson men brought darkness almost upon the end of the first half.

 UnIucky Number.
 | Auburn used up thirteen men in the | entire game while the same supersti- | tious number was put on the Clemson l roster for active duty in the hot con I fiict. As a matter of experience Stan ley promising % yousngsteIr;; Ss gEHsI;;n was put in l ter and showed up beyond expectations.

 Auburn did not own the ball long enough for any serious offensive work | of fierce hammer that was swung time after time against its crumbling l line. This eternal denese work Is team but on the meat and brawn.. In | this meat and brawn the visitors from the Carolina hills exceiled and 1t told | nightly.

 Poor Headwork.
 Yet Captain Lacey could have re- lieved his battered line from much of this strain if he had employed more kicking tactics. True, that clever punt CT, Foy, was out of the game, but there were yer, hs, times when o to put the toe to the h postpon ement at least of a touchdown. The pnches for these foot drives came Auburn possessed the ball. Lacey would tandem-buck over tackle for couple | of yards, rarely more. Streit, who was paceS in AfS Foys go paee snf in e the Saef eid probably would make the third yard. There was one more down Could the thought wrongly too many times. A play. aimed at the. end was woefully blocked and the ball went over. Either that, or fake kick would be attempt more often 1t resulted also in the ball going over.
 Wbitner a Punter.
 Whitner, Auburn's new line man, who | had been put in Streits place at left tackle. proved to be above the aver age as Q punter and everybody agreed that if he had been given more freedom with his toe the score would have been shaved considerably. 1t is hard to blame the leader of a team, though, for straining at the last straw to hold the ball and rush it towards the other goal when they have seen so few touch downs this year. One cannot score with being the whole time on the de- fense and 1t was this imprudent cupid ity perhaps that misled the tactics of Foy had been in the contest with his speed and stiff arms there would have been a transformation in the Orange and Blue offense. As 1t was there was not fast man at either half to skirt the ends and it was almost like send ing beetles against steel wall to try to penetrate the Clemson line.
 Auburn showed up stiff in her de- fense at the beginning. Captain Lacey won the toss and the whistles sounded from the referee at 3:30 o'clock. The game was delayed fully ten minutes on account of a long barley between Coaches Donahue and Coachems on the quality of the ball to be used. man, reluctantly gave way to the new ball offered by Auburn and the game was begun.
 The Game in Detail.
 Clemson kicked to the Auburn 15- by Whitner Lacey carried the ball over left tackle for five yards. He failed next time to gain and on the second down made only one yard. Jones got three yards straight ahead and the ball went over on failure to make the distance. Furtick hit the Auburn l line which did not budge. He tried IL
