no most southerners the game

ITO most Southerners the game
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 liksewise to
Vanderbilt. and l am not that rash
man.
For all that. it 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 it is
comparatively light team at Cam
bridge this year, and when II 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 well 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 su-
preme efforts against both Dart
mouth and Yale. For Vanderbilt.
on the other hand, the game tomor-
row will be the browning point of
the entire season, and | look to see
them put up quite their best game.
Yes. Harvard should win by a
than that, for I 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

the regulars. 1 doubt even whether
Brickley will be 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, 1t is my opinion they will have
as busy a time Of 1t as Woodrow
Wilson is having in the hand -shak-
ing line-only in 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 venturin3 much when you
remember how fast is Princeton's
backfield.
l incline likewise to think that
Vanderbilt will stop Harvard's
bucking game about as we'll 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 the final gong rings?
SeWanee VS.. Tech.
THIS should be a splendid exhibit
ton of the new game, for Sc
vance will probably use more open
play than did Auburn, and Tech,
as every one knows, can't hope to
do much with any other kind of
play.
The Tigers are almost, if not
quite, as heavy as was Auburn,
and. coupled with it. they have a
whole lot of speed. Therefore, it is
difficult to see how Tech can hope
to do better than they did against
the Alabamians last Saturday. Not
only has Sewanee a majority of old
players back, but in the new men
they have secured players who
shine with the very best on the
team.
The game should prove important
in contrasting Auburn with Sc
vance. and Tech with Georgia. The
