ANOTHER CHAPTER
 IF DISAFFECTION Bragg Says Auburn Challenged Vanderbilt November 9. CITES LETTER AS PROOF Declares Vanderbilt Is Not the Dictator of Association and Contends That Auburn Has Certain Rights
 ltSet
CITES LETTER AS PROOF
BY TARLETON COLLIER

Auburn. December .)-Au- burn athletic authorities feel that their side of the Auburn-V Vanderbilt football schedule case has not been amply set forth in a dispatch issued from Nash vine the stronghold of Vanderbilt. The dispatch included an interview with Charles C. Trabue, faculty manager of Vanderbilt athletics, in which he declared that Auburn's claims of a cold deal were not fully founded, as, he said, Auburn s request for a game in 1911 was abrupt, ana did not give the Vanderbilt men time to consider. The dispatch held that the first official communication from Auburn requesting a game came November 30. Professor Bragg. Auburn's graduate man. eger immediately sought to show that vanderbilts position in this argument was untenable, by disclosing the copy of a letter. dated November 3, which he sent tc MT. Trabue, requesting a game in 1911, and Mr Trabues reply. The request of MT. Bragg was:
 Auburn. Ala, November ,, 1910. "Mr. Charles c. Trabue, Nashville, Tenn. MT. Dear MT. Trabue: I am now ar ranging our football schedule for next fall and I hope that we can be able to arrange a game with Vanderbilt uniyer- sltv. We shall be very glad to meet your team in Birmingham on November 12. Birmingham is a great football town, and I am sure that we will make big money. We will play there under split contract or else give you cash guar antee.
 "Of course I know your games commit fee has not met as yet, but I would be very glad if you would give me some idea as to whether or not you think YOU could give us the above named day in Birmingham.
 sHopfng to hear from you at an early date, and with best wishes for Vanderbilt university, l am, sincerely,
 THOMAS BRAGG" Manager Trabue's reply was as follows, dispatched within few days:
 Prof. Thomas Bragg. A. P. l., Auburn. Ala.
 Dear MT Bragg: l have your favor of the 5th inst, relative to the proposed game of football between Vanderbilt and Auburn, in Birmingham, on November F, 1911. and shall be glad to bring your proposition to the attention of our con- niittee I am sure we would like to ar range a game with Auburn next year, if 1t is practicable to do so. One objection that occurs to me is that we dislike very r,lch on account of our usually good local patronage, to play away from Nash vile. That Is a. matter that may not appeal to the teams we play, but is one that we have to bear .ir mind. as other wlse we would run the risk of displeasing our local following
 We will not take up our new schedule until after the Thanksgiving game, but shortly thereafter you may expect to hear from me. With best wishes for yourself and the success of your team l am, very truly yours. CHARLES c. TRABU E.

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON
 THE AUBURN-VANDERBILT
 SCHEDULE CONTROVERSY

Alabama on the other and Howard and Birmingham college in the middle, there are more college men in Birmingham than in Nashville. We are not attempt ing to intimate that Vanderbilt is afraid of sustaining defeat at the hands of Au- burn. We do not believe this to be true. But Manager Trabue must offer some legitimate excuse for his failure to re- turn a courtesy. With the nashville greater than Birmingham argument he is making himself ridiculous.
 With Auburn and Vanderbilt and Au- burn and Sewanee failing to agree on games for next season. and with the ex- pressed purpose of each to go outside for big games and drawing cards by means of which to gather in enough coin to permit of continued operations, 1t ap- pears that the beginning of the end Of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic as- soeiation is in sight. If the disagree ment of the managers will result in the smashing of the most gigantic fizzle of an athletic association which has ever spread it's nefarious influence over a territory, and the construction of another on few well-formulated principles. then the dis agreements are to. be desired.
 But as long as the association does live, it seems that games might be played between it's several strongest members. Vanderbilt assumes the position that un- til it Is defeated by Auburn, Auburn must accept the small end of the pie in the ar rangement of a schedule. This is an ,,reporfSr,l.a n1ilza idaa and a false one Auburn is every whit as big as Wander bit, and Is entitled to as much consid- eration. Until this fact is driven home the association will continue to be as far cical as it is at present. There is no bully in any orderly family.

It begins to appear that there will be no Auburn-Vanderbilt game next. season. This is true in spite of the fact that Manager Bragg of Auburn and Manager Trabue of Vanderbilt continue to con- sttme vast quantities of printers ink. The public is impressed with an idea that the two gentlemen are determined, not so much to arrange a game between their teams as to defend their respective positions. The public would enjoy wit messing a game between the two. The reasons why they do not agree is of only relative interest.
 From what has been brought out in the public print, Auburn is anxious. eN- ceedlngly anxious, to play Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is anxious, exceedingly anx- ious, to play Auburn.
 The point of difference between the two is only a minor one. Auburn insists that the game be played in Birmingham. Van derbilt insists that the game be played in Nashville. Each has notified the other that no argument can remove the obstacle But still the controversy con- tinues.
 In the argument, however, every ad- vantage seems to be with Auburn. Au- burn has played Vanderbilt twiee-and twice in Nashville. It is plainly ''up to" Vanderbilt to play Auburn next season in Birmingham. Manager Trabue endeavors to prove that Nashville is a better foot ball city than Birmingham, and that the pecuniary profit of game in Tennessee will be greater than a game in Alabama.
 This is mere fapdoodle, and not worthy of a pupil of the eminent Dr. Dudley, head and shoulders and dictator of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic asso- citation. As a matter of fact, Birming- ham is larger than Nashville, and with Auburn on one side, the University of
