Ao--NlLLE, Tenn, OcJ. 11.-Amid
the cheers OF the largest and most
enthusiastic crowd of the present
esason, Dan McGugin's machine oper.
ated on the strong opposing eleven
from the Rose Polytechnic Institute
here Saturday, battering the said pig
skin warriors for FIVE touchdawns and
three E3ais, While the "Polys" were
able to come out with three points on
a beautiful placement from the 25-
yard line by Bradford result, rs to g.
The exhibition as a whole, was
great, With the exception of FUN
bling, especially early in the first half,
the work Of the Commodores was gilt,
edged. The Rose squad, in .urn
gave an exhibition of nerve, persis-
tence and good coaching that should
have been most gratifying to them
selves and their coach. Though at
the end of the first half they were
clearlg defeated they were game to
the core, and played the last three
minutes harder and faster than any
in the game. Struck end for the Wis
itors, played the star game, his tack
ling and offensive work being at times
remarkable.
For Vanderbilt, it would be hard to
say whether Metzger or Freeland de-
serves first laurels Frogs" work
at fullback was phenomenal. Time
and again he plunged through the
Rose line for gains of five, ten and
more Yards, and once he got through
on delayed pass for a run of forty
Yards and touchdown, shaking off
four OF the Tech schools tacklers be-
fore placing the oval between the
goal-posts.
Freeland played one of the greatest
games of his life. To shit man of
his weight from tackle to END, at first
thought seems ridiculous, but Coach
McGugin's football sagacity was never
proven to a better advantage. On the
kickoff and when Vanderbilt punted,
the big fellow nearly every time,
reached the receiver before the ball
did and an attempt to return was
worse than fruitless. On receiving
forward passes his work was even
more brilliant On two occasions, af-
ter being knocked about numerically
by the Rose backs, he scrambled out
from the mass and with his long arms
and big hands caught ten spiral that
had been passed to him from Allen
Brown.
Never has anyone appeared on Dud-
ley field who could equal Brown at
passing. With mathematical calcula-
ton and accurate execution, he hurls
the oval through the air like a flying
machine. Bo Williams played his us.
ual consistent heady, nervy game, and
his run of twenty-five yards for a
touchdown was feature. Morrison's
absence at the other end was notica-
Bile, hnt Adams worked well in his
place White was injured early in the
game and was replaced by Stegall,
Cornell filing the vacancy at guard.
Next Saturday is set for the game
between the Varsity and the Alumnae
Among other old time stars who have
sianifed their intention Of being in
the game is John F Edgerton, of Co
lumbia lie is being much talked
about over the campus and COMPARE
sons of him and Metzger are favorite
subjects of discussions
