THE South is fairly hysteric;


season game between Au-
burn and Vanderbilt for the loot
bail championship of The S. l. \. A.
A lot Of opposition most be oye"-
co.ue to get the game, but it is
possible to overcome 1t.
OF course, Dr.. W. l.. Dudley, Of
Vanderbilt, president cr The $. I.
A, A., and long the car Of Vander-
bilt athletics will oppose it. He
has always been against pOst-sea-
son games ana CHAMPIONSHIPS. But
then tho time has passed when D..
Dudley can absolutely contlol Van
derbilt athletics. Dan McGugin Is
now a poWe" to be rgCkoned with.
And Dan wants a post season
game II it ever comes to a test of
strength between McGugin and DR..
Dudley over the post-season game
thing ii is likely that McGugin
would turn up winner. For he would
have 95 per cent of the alumni Of
the college behind him.
OF course Auburns attitude IS
uncertain Naturally they don't
Want the game. Still Ii might be
forced on them in a way that would
make a refusal to play quite diff
cult.
Time viii tell.
Anyhow, you can put this down
as cold fact:
Dan McGugiu wants post-sea-
son game, and Daniel has way Of
getting the things he goes out after.
| rs hard 10 stop writing about
that Eaulecbilt-tuburu game

pened than you could shake d
stick at.
And before anything else is said
We venture the prediction that the
game will not long remain an an
nual fixture in Birmingham. It
VIII be transferred to some real col
-ege town OF played on alternate
years at Auburn and Nashville.
