 There may be as good a game of foot ball played this year in the South, but there will be no better.
 Luck was in the lineup against Au- burn and luck. with It's timely assis- lance accounts for more than one point Tn the final score. Auburn taking the game by and large. was at least en- magnificent line and the speedy Hard- age more than evened up for Sewanee,s Superiority in bunting in the back .deld by the brilliant Browne.
 But at two crises in the game, luck broke badly for Auburn and the day was Host. but not with dishonor. In base Iball and in foot ball. in peace and war chance scores heavily. At Waterloo Napoleon was suffering from an att tack of Indigestion after an order of jfried steak and onions and could not |play his game with the result which |all the world knows.

Auburn. talk ling the ball at the kick-off tried sewa- |nee's line and found it to her liking. While the orange and blue cohorts in bleachers were pounding each other in the back and screaming like mad, the Auburn huskies marched down the field.

Splitting blood he jumped back into line but on the next scrimmage but one some purple covered knee broke rib. The friend on the side line was willing. to lend him his knife again, but Coggdeli has his doubts about fixing the brok- en ribs with a, pocket knife, so he gave the girls in the grand stand what he could do when 1t came to playing foot ball.
 To show that Hardage was not the only star back in the South, Browne tore off brilliant run of 30 yards pound kid" the Sewanee men yelled. if Browne plays any more games like he did this afternoon he will be listed this year as an all southern back. Without Browne, Sewanee would not have scored and Auburn would have been an easy winner.
