wheel, which will do more good to
keep the roads than anything else

Of prime Importance tomor-
row throughout the length
and breadth of the land is the one
booked to take place in Cambridge
between the Commodores and John
ny Harvard.
After "pinning it on Brown and
Princeton the way Harvard has he
would be deemed a rash man who
would match his pennies that the
Crimson couldn't do hksewise to
Vanderbilt, and | am not that rash
man.
For all that, ii is my conviction
that Vanderbilt will put up a game
of which we will all be very proud.
The Commodores have gained some
confidence in themselves through
their splendid victories thus far.
and they seem in fair physical
condition TO put up close to their
best game. Harvard will not so
greatly outweigh them, as ii is q
comparatively light team at Cam
bridge this year, and when it comes
to speed I doubt If they will be one
whit flasher than the Tennessee
ans
There is still one factor in favor
OF Vanderbilt. Harvard will not,
can not, be nearly so we'll keyed
for the contest as will Vanderbilt.
They spent themselves to a very
considerable degree against Brown
and Princeton, and they know they
have yet TO hold themselves for SUI
preme efforts against both Dart
mouth and Yale. For Vanderbilt,
on the other hand, the game tomor-
row will be the crowning point Of
the entire season. and I look to see
them put up quite their best game.
Yes, Harvard should win by a
touchdown or two. bat not more
than that, for | have no notion that
Harvard will try to run up a score,
even if they could. If they find the
game going safely they are going
to play safe, put in subs and spare
the regulars. l doubt even whether
Brickley will he put in the game at
all, unless he Just must be used to
pull it out Of the fire.
But no matter who Harvard lines
up, it is my opinion they will have
as busy Il time e it as Woodrow
Wilson is having in the hand shak-
ing Iine-only in d different way.
| believe Vanderbilt will work more
successful forward passes than did
Princeton. and also that they will
make more ground around Har-
wards ends than did Princeton.
which is Venturin2 much when yoa
remember how fast is Princeton's
backfeld.
I incline likewise to think that
Vanderbilt will stop Harvard's
bucking game about as well as did
the Tigers. And if by keeping
Brickley out Harvard also keeps
itself out Of some goals from
the field. who knows how closely
they may not be pushed for the de-
cision when til final gong rings"

about as much weight as have the
Volunteers. If Mercer men viii
keep their heads and not suffer

Tennessee from feeling too lone

Yet it must be conceded that on

see has been playing the better ball
and should win the game. They win
be slightly handicapped by the fact
that the game takes place on the
Baptists' stamping ground, but with
the spirit they are putting into their

THIS should be a splendid eXlibi-

The Tigers are almost. if not
quite, as heavy as was Auburn.

whole lot of speed Therefore, it is
difficult to see how Tech can hope

top-notchers in the use of the for

very pretty plays showing up in
this department
Yes, Sewanee should win, but
this ought to be the prettiest game
of, the season, from the standpoint
Of the spectator.
Auburn VS.. Il. s. t.
G ONE people think Auburn viii
~ win this game with case. AS
Auburn's offense is steadily inn
proving and has not struck q sin
gle slump this year. they are. per
haps, justified in this expectation.
An analysis, however, OF the game
l.. S. Z, put up against Miss, A, and
NJ. shows that L. S L, slightly out
played the A. and NJ, even though
they lost the game. And 1t will be
remembered that Auburn only won
from A. and NJ. by a touchdown
after an S0-yard run, which might
not happen again were the two
teams to play a dozen more games
this season.
If L. S. L. plays their best game,
they should make it mighty dis
agreeable for Auburn. Still. l look
to see the A. p. /. win by not more
than one or two touchdowns.
In passing, let me say, that Au-
burn has about as much drive TO
their play as any team have seen
in many, many moons This does
well always against a light team
like Tech. but it alone Will pe of
little avail against Vanderbilt for
the Commodores are even heavier
than the Auburnites, and they will
stop the latter's heavy plunges. In
addition, Auburn's tackling is rag
ged and high and will have to be
greatly improved if they are to
stand any show against the polish
ed young gentlemen from Nashville.
Alabama VS.. Mississippi.
THIS will be another red-hot
l. game with the odds slightly ia
voring Mississippi. Alabama is ON
its feet and playing fine ball, but
the boys from "Ole Mississip" Will
be. | fear, a little too heavy for
them. 1t will be recalled what Il
tarter Vanderbilt struck in them,
and in spite of the loss of the quar-
tet Of stars who We're ruled out this
year, they still have plenty of other
good men to I'LL the shoes Of the
departed Barker the left tackle
is an especially able man. and it is
safe to say that nothing will be
gained by the Tuscaloosans over
his side of the line.
BY the way, since II. Vandegraaf
was put at half back for Alabama.
he is doing even better work than
he did at end.
Tennessee VS.. Mercer.
THIS should be fine game
Mercer has found itself. as was
evidenced by its tremendous
