THE most brilliant play ever
pulled off on any Southern
gridiron was that forward pass
which on a Thanksgiving day in
1907 sent the Sewanee Tigers back
to the mountain, a defeated team,
to the tune of II to II. And. of
course, the team that pulled it off
was one coached by the prince of
coaches. Dan McGugin.
This was the greatest play ever
saw. It turned an almost certain
defeat into a victory, and brought
the great crowd on Dudley field to
its feet in a body. cheering like
mad. At Sewanec two seasons ago,
however. | witnessed a play that
happened under very peculiar cir
cumstances and will probably never
be duplicated. The University of

time.
Just before the game the rain.
which had been falling all OF the
morning, ceased. and. save for

were favorable for pulling off

About ten minutes after the start
of the game, heavy fog settled
on the field. Ed Hamilton was

GRAYS WIN
A CLOSE GAME FROM
GUARDS OF ATLANTA
CLUB STANDING

In a brilliant and well played basket
ball game at the Armory court, the At
lanta Grays defeated the Atlanta
Guards by the close score of 20 to 90.
The game was the best played and
most interesting of any played here
this season. The Atlanta Grays have
again demonstrated that they are the
most likely contenders for the pennant.
The Atlanta Guards team is now a
strong one, and the defeat of that team
by the Grays leaves rosy path for. the
GEays until the last game of the season.
when they meet the Governors Horse
Guard in what will be the best game of
the season.

Commodore Eleven This Fall Is
AS Strong as Last Years Team

NASHVILLE. TENN, Oct. 26.
After taking stock Of the
Georgia game, it begins to
appear that Vanderbilt has a team
his year that is surprising every
body, Vanderbilt included. Every
year 1t is the regular lament of the
Commodore followers that the team
can not possibly be as good as last
years, but, generally speaking, the
team IS about the same, and usu-
ally just a little better That was
the case this year.

team, but the present indications
are that McGugin has successfully
filled their places and that by the
end Of the season, at least the
team will be superior TO that of last
year

fact and fancy known as the grand

Morgan Much Better.
Bud Morgan played center both
years. In 1911 he weighed $50 and
this season he has trained down to
40. With the weight reduction
has come corresponding increase
in playing power.
At guards there is no question
that the team is weaker than last

Just ordinary action pictures, such

played in Atlanta, tell some inter
esting stories. For instance that
picture Of the Georgia Vanderbilt
game which appeared in The Geor-

could look at it without realizing
one Of the crying weaknesses Of the
team and without seeing that there
were men who should have been in
