AUBURN BRUSHES HOWARD TEAM
 SEASONS MOST UNEVEN BATTLE
SCORE OF 77 TO O--BAPTIsTS OVERWHELMED SHOWED LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF GAME

The cyclone in the fields of yellowing and passing on to other destruction, leaving in its trail misery, unconsola ble- such was Auburn yesterday afternoon in
 it's slaughter of the thinly clad and ner- vous eleven of Howard college.
 Quarterback Newell received the first kick-off of the Howard squad, and he ran two-thirds the length of the field to a touchdown. Prom that moment until the blowing of the whistle fors the termina- : tion of the uneven tournament Auburn ran pell mell, hither and thither, in un- checkable fury, and with indescribable greed for scores through the demoralized ranks of the Baptists.
 The final score was. Auburn IT. How ard 0.
 So uneven was the contest that no ac- curate line could be obtained on the real strength of the Auburn eleven. Its de- fense, however-when was Auburn otherwise Twas impregnable. Its offense, while not so perfect, struck faster than the preliminary gossip described it, and one of the backfield men, Newell. gets off rapidly and displays vim and a dash which should carry him high in the cir cles of the swineskin.
 Thrice during the game Howard se- cured the ball, twice holding the visitors for downs, and again falling on the sphere following a tumble. But not once did Howard make first down, unless the recovery of juggled forward pass might uya goal in danger of even a fluke. The Bap- lists had no formation worthy of men tion: they told their signals with dis tressing lack of speed, they displayed woeful lack of knowledge of the game, and the memory of their offensive code often slipped the mind of the quarter back. Berry fought bravely back Of the line. Taylor did some fierce tackiing' and the speed of Boykin-generally dis played in chasing Auburn ends who had before them a clear field for goal-was a bright feature of the afternoons sport.
 S Auburn's Heavy Team
 Auburn came with the heaviest team that has been seen in Birmingham in many years. Its men are giants. In case its offense is as strong as its defense, 1t should have little trouble in winning ev- cry game of its mserably slim schedule. II showed the result of good coaching. It's plays were not spectacular, nor bril- liant, not scintillating. It followed the old gmae, short and long end runs, plunges through the line, and, on rare oc- casions, resorted to familiar tricks. Coach Donahue showed none of his spe- cialties, for Georgia's coach was on the scene. Only twice was the forward pass resorted to by Auburn-the first time, en- countering failure, and the second time because Howard simply refused to touch the man who received it. resulting in touchdown.
 From the beginning to the end How ards line was ripped to pieces by the heavy linesmen of Auburn, and Auburn backs ploughed through for enormous gains almost at will In the first quarter the visitors piled up 25 points. At the end of the second the number had been increased to i2 The score at the end or the third was 65 to 0, and when the game was concluded, Auburn had piled up grand total of IT. Major did the kicking for Auburn, and in B chances he ten times rang the bell. So easy was scoring, however, that his kicking was done from unusually easy angles.
