ORANGE AND BLUE IS HELP LESS BEFORE CUNNINGHAM'S TEAM--GREAT CROWD WIT MESSED GAME---M'WHORTER STARS

Athens, Ga, November 2S-(special)- Playing as they had never before played this season, and with the great McWhor- ter at his best, Georgia beat Auburn 12 to before the largest crowd that has ever as- sen1biea on-ar. -.Athens fold this aftsrnnnn Georgia had the advantage at all times.
 Georgia scores came as the results of touohdowns by McWhorter and conlSlin, and in each one Henderson failed to kick goal Auburn's points came from the toe of Majors, who time and again had saved the day temporarily by his wonderful punts. Majors made two field goals when 1t was found that Auburn could carry the ball no closer to the goal line.
 The game that upset all southern foot ball dope, coming as 1t did after Auburn's wonderful work against Vanderbilt was played on field that was slushy with melted snow, but the work of the players made the going fast and interesting from start to finish.
 Georgia won because her offense was superb, because her line held time and again against Auburn bucks and her ends gathered in everything that came their way.

CORNELL BEATEN
 BY PENN TEAM

Philadelphia, November 2S.--Penn- sylvania added another victory to her long string of successes over the Cor nell football team by winning tho Thanksgiving game on Franklin field today by the score of to 2. It had been showing for almost 10 hours be- fore the game began and the field was soaked from the slush. causing both teams to frequently huff or tumble the slippery ball. This condition of the field was indirectly responsible for all the scoring.
 Cornell got her two points in the first period. It had been a bunting game all through the period and the ball was on Pennsylvania's 20 yard line, where Minds attempted to punt. J. Whyte broke through the Pennsyl- vania line and blocked the kick. Minds and Whyte raced after the ball and the PennsyIvanian fell on it one yard from his own goal line. but before he could recover himself he slided in the mud across the goal and referee Langford declared safety in favor of Cornell.
 Pennsylvania touchdown came un- expectedly near the end of the sec ond period. Cornell had the ball in midfeld as the result of a punt. Ben nett. who had gone into the game at right halfback for Cornell, replacing Fritz, fumbled and Captain Mercer of Pennsylvania caught the ball He was 55 yards from cornells goal with 6 clear field and dashing down the field, outrunning Cornelfs feetest men, ne made an easy touchdown.
 Because of the wet field the game resolved itself largely into a kicking contest in which Butler of Cornell, in variably had the better of Minds. Even with the wind against him, Buffers kicks usually gained ground on the Pennsylvanian.
 Neither team was able to consist ently advance by rushing. Only a few first downs were made by either team
 It was a bad day for the forward pass. Both teams tried 1t without much success, especially Cornell. which lost many downs on inoompleted passes.
 A prominent feature of the game was the speed of Cornell's ends in getting down under kicks. Pennsylvania gained very little ground through run aing the ball back after punts.

AUBURN GOES DOWN IN DEFEAT
 BEFORE GEORGIA'S ONSLAUGHT
THORPE TIE STAR
 IN BROWN DEFEAT

Providence. R. T., November 2s.-- James Thorpe. one of the most versa tile Indian athletes ever developed at the government school at Carlisle, Pa, closed his football career In blaze of glory on Andrews field today when tha Indians, principally through their lead- CTS individual play. defeated Brown g to O.
 Thorpe was in nearly every play. both on the offense and defense, made three of five touchSowns and kicked two goals. His only failure of the day was in his endeavors to kick field goals, which were difficult because os the slippery, snow covered field and wet ball.
 Brown rushed the ball to within half a yard of the lndians goal line and Penney went over but there was na score because of offside play. over f5, 900 persons sat through the storm and cheered both teams.

"VANDY' WINS FROM SEWANEE TIGERS BY A SCORE OF 16 TO 0
Alabama Wins Fierce
 Battle From Tennessee
Crimson Warriors Fight Their Way to Hard Earned Victory Tennessee Shows Surprising Strength and outrushes Ala barians-Great Fight Under Crimson Goal Posts
 Slaves Off Defeat On Three Occasions

Dutweighed 15 pounds to the man, ant 5utplayed throughout three or the fou' quarters of the contest, the Crimson-Jer- seyed warriors of the University of Ala bama fought their way to a ! to . victory over the University of Tennessee On Rick wood Field yesterday afternoon
 When Adrian Vandegraaff placed the pig elin behind Tennessee's goal line for the ae touchdown of the game. he had r oored his last point for the Crimson, but in so doing he had ended his gridiron ca reer by gaining a victory for his team Each step as he raced toward the oppos- ing goal numbered the seconds of his foot ball career, and when the referees whis- tie called stop to the battle in the last quarter the veteran fullbacE whose work has made football history at Alabama for four years, had played his last game upon the college gridiron.
 A Spectacular Contest
 The contest was a spectacular example of determination and versatility pitted against brawn and power In speed the two teams were well matched but the su- perior weight of the Tennesgeeans coupled with the aggressive power of their drives for three quarters kept the Ala bamians fighting griInly to stave off de- feat. Three times before Alabama's open defence they rushed the pig skin within the shadow of fife Crimson goal, but three times the Alabamians braced and the Ten nesseeans were held for downs.
 AIabama's Score
 Alabama threatened only once during the contest, and on this occasion scored the lone Touchdown of the game. with the ball on Tennessee's 9 yard line Moody passed the ball to A. Vandegraaff for an off tackle play. The Tennesseeans shifted to meet his drive, and the big full back was quick to sec the wedge like opening exposed on the unprotected side 'pf the opposing line. The play was quick ly conceived and excellently executed. Pivoting upon his foot, the Crimson full back swerved in his run and dashed through the opening. and through a broken field for touchdown. Moody kicked an easy goal.
 Thereafter Alabama was never danger ous, while Tennessee rushed the ball for substantial gains during practically all of the game.
 Straight Football Used
 Little open play vas used by either side, and the forward pass was seldom attempt ed. Alabama failed at an attempted shoot early in the game and thereafter was con tent to chance gains in end rushes and de-

 In making the above selections The Age-Herald has tried to choose the men in looking at their respective value from evary possible angle. There is very little difference between the ability of many southern players. Some suppass the ones chosen on The Age Herald all-southern lineup in some re- spects, but the men mentioned are, in the opinion of The Age-Herald author ities, more valuable and able as a whole than others in their respective positions
 Fl Vandegraaff of Alabama is easily one of the best ends in the south. He Is fast, fairly heavy. and valuable man both on the offense and defense. His all-round work on tho Crimson squad has not been surpassed by any end in the south this season.
 At tackles Lamb of Auburn and Tom Brown of Vanderbilt are men in every way fitted for their positions. They are both heavy and powerful men. They are experienced and versital in their play and compose pair of lines- men that rank we'll with the best of the country.
 At center, Morgan is undoubtedly the best that the south affords. He has all the weight necessary for one of liis position, and in addition is exception ally fast and shifty. He has worthy rivals in Henderson of Georgia and Burns of Auburn, but he should be

 Tech scored her first touchdown in the first quarter on end over end runs. The other two came in the fourth quar- ter, one as the result of end runs and the other on straight march down the field.
 Leuperman. Cook. Mcdonald and Field CT did the most effective work extensively for Tech Montague. Loeb and Moore starred on the defense. Webb and To- gan were Clemson's best ground gathers. the latter tearing off 40 yard run, the best of the day.

 Captain Gillem of Sewanee is given position at right end principally On account of his kicking ability. Ills ability in this respect Is essential to any team. and besides this quality the Tiger captain is formidable both oa the offepse and defense.
 While Fletcher of Mississippi is un- doubtedly the best quarterback in the south, he Is not awarded the place oa account of his inelibility. Newell of Auburn is given the place Quarter back is Newelps regular position, he having played here regularly until this season. It would be hard to choose al an-southern team and leave off Au- burns fast little halfback He has probably been of more service to his team than has any player in the south.

 Right half goes to Bob Mcwhc-s5z of Georgia. This great half was not up to form during the early season. but his recent work plainly evidences the fact that he Is one Of the greate.t backs in the south. This Is his third year as an all-southern man.
 Gillem and Folly of Sewanee, Vande- graaff A. of Alabama McWhorter Of Georgia, Sikes of Vanderbilt reserve an honorable mention, but they are probably not as valuable as the men chosen above them.
