Graham'S Two Field
Goals Saved the
Day.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 2--Battiing
with the desperation and valor of one
who faces mighty odds undaunted, VAN
deTJut met Michigan today in one OF
the greatest combats ever seen on any
field. II was the West against the
Southland while the West won by tive
field goals, the Commodore goal line
was uncrossed at the end of seventy
minutes of fierce aggressive play.
Two fatal fumbles by Costen in the
back field within VandeTbiiTs 15-yard
line gave Michigan the needed OppOrtu-
nifty 10 rely on Octy Graham's unerring
aim Many times she attempted 70
rush the ball over, but her attack was
thrown back, broken and scattered by
the fierce defense. Then Graham came
10 the rescue and placed his team on
top by two perfect goals from easy
angles within the 2)-yard line.
Vanderbilt was able TO solve Michi-
CAMS powerful defense but Cnce. when
in the first half, with Costen, Craig,
Campbell. and Morton carrying the ball.

touchdown. Time and gain, however,

times Michigan carried the ball within
VanderbIlts lO-yard line, and with three
trials 70 rush II over We're repulsed
without reaching the greatly coveted
line.
Evenly Matched.
Save in the handling of punts, the two
teams were fairly matched, as Wander

Bon Blake fail by a narrow margin
at both opportunities.

Stones play was spectacular all the
way, while Bob Blake, Nagoffln and

game, which but for Costea's two fun

score.
In the second half Costen played great
ball and the AVesterners were neld well
in hand.
