THE SCORE WAS 46 TO o


 be one of the best regulated ground gaining and defending aggregations that the South has known. uhiese otber teams in the South have made corresponding or greater advances' there will be nothing in the South with inc exception of Vanderbilt, that can outpoint the men of the Polytechnic Institute.
 This was proven yesterday when the Auburn squad in two fifteen minute halves defeated the team of the Mont gomery Athletic Club by score of 46-o at Athletic Park.
 Auburn's play yesterday can not pc conscientiously termed consistent. While the great majority of the plays were pulled off with snap, strength ana science the team had .apses, During these lapses the ball was frequently fumbled, the forwards failed to use their brains and the backfield was slow When the referees whistle was hrst sounded, the Auburn squad seemed to be sleeping Will Paterson, the form CT Auburn star playing tackle for Montgomery, was able muddle up any number of plays fnd once Auburn was held for downs.
 Woke from . Trance.
 The team woke up from this trance in about three minutes and then began banging away at the Montgomery line with all the ferocity that made Auburn one of the most dangerous teams in the South last year. The line charged low and hard. the backfield watched their opportunities and when man was tackled he held his feet and allowed his team mates to drag him toward the goal line. This Is football
 On the other hand the light Mont ayh xpIth they had and by their bulldog tenacity held down the Auburn score. Auburn attempted no sweeping plays. Their methods seemed to be a concentrated attack on the line. Montgomery s tackles, guards, and extras were con- tinually bowied over while the Auburn contingent tore off strips of ground from three to thirty yards.
 The day was too hot for football, but the Auburn squad surprisingly seemed less able to stand the heat and the fierce play than the young busi- ness men who played for Montgomery. Tine out was continually called for and the water boy had lots to do dur ing the game
 Auburn made four touchdowns and kicked three goals in the first half and the same number in the second. When time was called 1t was Auburn's ball on Montgomery's five-yard line and an- other play would in all probability have sent another Orange and Blue warrior over.
 The Montgomery squad played a good, aggressive game. While not much ground was gained, Will Pater- son was able to make few yards through the line once or twice. George Tyson gained fifteen yards on a trick play and Jack Hobbie pierced the Au- burn Iii m successive bucks for five and twenty yards.
 Auburn Took 1t Easy.
 While from this account it may seem that Auburn has not the team that re- ports have led people to believe, still there Is no questioning Auburn's strength. This early in the season, err ratio playing is looked Tor and know ing their opponents were outclassed, the Orange and Blue players may have taken things a tri1e easy.
 Donahue is one of the best coaches in the South and with the excellent ma terial he has and the excellent knowl- edge of football most of the men seem to possess, the little deficiencies which were noted yesterday will be easily rem died, and Auburn will have a com pact evenly balanced squad.
 Among the injuries yesterday after noon, half back Toy. considered one of the fiercest ground gathers in the South, had his wrist sprained and re- tired from the game. Other changes were made on account of lack of condi- tion. -'.: '
 noticeable fact during the game yesterday was that four Paterson brothers were on the teams. There was Will Paterson. who was on the famous Auburn eleven in '99 He played q tackle for Montgomery. There was Jim Paterson, captain of the 1903 Auburn eleven, who is playing an end | for Auburn this year. There was Hay l good Paterson. who played his first
 varsity football last year at Auburn and who is again at an end. and there was little Wallace Paterson. a 140- ] pound youngster, who played a half back for Montgomery. He Is a sopho- more at Auburn and is full back on the first scrub squad. He will in all probabilit be a varsity man next year. They are all sons of Professor w B. Paterson, president of the State Normal School for Negroes of Montmorey.
