~ PRESBYTERIAN University meet on
,hs gridiron lou can lock for jolt in
no done. Last year in the opening
& came of ths season. the Commcdores
we're barely able to get away with the
big end OF a lie score, though the
done said il would be 800 or better.
This year more than half of Clarks-
yiIles team were old men, and the
new recruits made the line heavier
tbar last year. In addition to this
tbe Presbyterian lads had been at
vor, several days longer than the
.Ccmmodores. all of which looked like
there would be a pretty stiff contest
on Dudley Field Saturday afternoon.
But the Gold and Black defenders
evidently didn't relish the Boosting of
tbe Clarksville aggregation and went
into the game with a rush that result
|ed in a score of $40 in their favor.
The S. P. U. crowd never had a
|look.in. and until the last minute Of
play, when by several end runs they
carried the ball down the field with
considerable speed, the Gold and
Black line was never in danger.
Vanderbilt received the ball and on
the first play Griffin made a beautiful
run for 40 yards and this was followed
|by several others of almost equal
hength. Performances similar to this
were continued throughout the first
half, which ended 41-0.
In the second half Vanderbilt was
able to make only two touchdowns
This was caused by sending in the
subs and when the game closed Free
land, Covington and White were the
bnly men who had played throughout
It would be hard to pick the star
man for Vanderbilt. The re-appear-
bnce of Griffin, who played at fulIback,
Was source of much qualification to
the Vanderbilt supporters, who agree
that if the big blond can keep his
knees in shape he will be second to
neither Honus Craig nor Owsley Ma
bier Three quarter-backs, Morrison,
Neeley and Robbins, were used, all
Showing up excellently. Robbins was
the sensation of the game. This little
midget, heretofore almost unheard OF,
6onned in a ragged sweater and know
ing few of the signals, was called upon
IN the middle of the second half,
Eeeley being forced to retire on &C
lount of collision with Adams. The
rabbit" as the rooters named him,
Showed in the twinkling of an eye
that he was made of football stuff. He
IAN the team excellently, besides max
hg number of sensational runs and
|ackles.
Roger Black, the exc. M. A. star,
hade his debut near the close of the
Bame He was not given an oppor-
|unity to distinguish himself, but was
consistent and into every play and
Produced a good impression.
For S. P. U. the stellar light was
|ight-end McLaurin. The little fellow
Fas as nervy as the biggest of them
ind made some Of the prettiest tackles
4 the game.
Captain Presley also played good
Potball, making several nice runs ana
|ne beautiful forward pass.
