CLEMSON TIGERS GAVE
 AUBURN A HARD FIGHT

The game Saturday with the Clemson Tigers was one of the hardest fought games ever played on the Auburn cam pus. The Clemson team Is the best that has been sent out from the hills of South Carolina in several seasons. It looks more like one of the teams made famous by such players as DenIck, Fastido, Hol- land, ct al, than any that has opposed Auburn in recent years. The elements were responsible for Clemson's touch- down, when a fumbled ball rolled off into a pool of water and after several players had taken a long dive after it, the elusive pgskin finally emergeu into terra firma and into the arms of a Clemson player who ran through a clear field for touchdown.
 Auburn frustrated Clemsons attempts at open play, but the Hill Billes turned loose a lot of mass plays with drive and force enough to make them difficult tc stop on any field and especially on a wet field such as was played on Saturday. They have weight and drive that will give their opponents many a troublesome mo- ment. Clemsons best offensive work was in the second period when they advanced the ball on line plays to .iuburns 15-yard line It took Auburn some time to catch on to these plays and find some method to effectively stop them.
 The work of the Auburn team was de- cided improvement over the Florida game. In fact. the same kind of a game that Auburn played against Florida would

 When the University of Tennessee and Sewanee lock horns in Chattanooga Sat urday there is, if any consideration can be give, to reports, going to be a battle royal Both teams are come backs this season, and both are flush with q string of easy victories. They are pret-' nish the Chattanooga public first class sample of the great college game. The alumni of both institutions are making every preparation to entertain their re- spective teams while in Chattanooga, and as both aggregations have a goodly num- ber of supporters, considerable enthus- iasm is being aroused over the contest.
 Over in Columbus the recently humil- lated Georgians will vent their ire upon the University of Alabama aggregation. Their recent defeat at the hands of the Commodores may be advantageous to Ala bama's chances, but 1t is hardly pos sible that the Crimson squad will be able to do any more than keep down the score. It Is reported, however that Ala bama showed marked improvement Sat urday over their work against Georgia Tech. If they continue to improve 10 the same extent this week, they may make q creditabe showing against the Red and Black after all.

The first football struggle of real inn portance to be seen in Birmingham this season will be played here Saturday next when Auburn meets the warriors of Mis- sissippi A. and NJ. While odds slightly favor the Auburn boys to win, Missls- sippi A. and NJ. is reported to have a heavy and experienced squad this sea- son, and will. no doubt, offer Coach Donahue's outfit a strenuous opposition. Last season when these two teams met in Birmingham, the Auburn squad won. and the Mississippans are going to make every effort to wipe out the defeat at the meet here Saturday. Both teams have many supporters in Birmingham, but the Auburn lads will naturally be favorites to win. It will be Birming hams first big game of the season. and will attract considerable interest from the local enthusiasts.
 Other games of considerable importance will be pulled off throughout the south Saturday.
 The Vanderbilt Commodores will meet "Old Miss in Nashville This game usually attracts considerable attention, as the University of Mississippi squad has shown considerable strength during the recent seasons This year, however, the Mississippi aggregation Is greatly handi- capped by the loss of several stars, who were recently declared ineligible under the s. l.

Lexington, Va, October 21--(Special) The showing of Washington and Lee in the St. Johns game was not altogether satisfactory. While their offensive work showed marke improvement there was a weakness on defensive play that 1t will be the work of the coaches from TOW on to remedy. As the score indi- eates, the game was close and only until the last half was well gone did Washington and Lee succeed in solving st. Johns offense and streng gthening their own.
 The visitors worked the most suc- eessful series of forward passes seen here this year, scoring their second touchdown by a beautiful long pass to the left end who ran 30 yards. Their first score came early in the game, when Washington and Lee fumbled on the 20-yard line, St. Johns recovering fake quarterback run and put the ball over.
 After the first half Washington and Lee successfully intercepted every eff fort of St. Johns to forward pass ex- cept one which gained but little. Var sity resorted to straight football throughout, mixing line plunges and lcng end runs with few attempts at forward pass.

ground gainer and was never over- thrown for a loss Raftery played a stellar game and his returning of punts was sensational. Edwards played a great defensive game, time after time breaking up their end runs and inter- cepting their passes. Practically no gains at all were made through the line, which held like stone wall throughout the game Captain Miller was a tower of strength on the defense and it was largely through the open ings he made in the opposing line that the plunges were successtui. Miles starred as usual and the big tackle repeatedly broke through and got the man with the ball. Francis. at end, was in every play, his work on the defense being of the highest orr der.

Both or these Carolina teams are foes to be reckohed with. as each of them has held North Carolina to a very close score.

have lost to Clemson. Auburn started in with rush, receiving the kick-off and making touchdown inside of three min utes. Ressijac did good work in plunging the line and Newell was very effective on end runs. Auburn scored another touchdown in the first period Cross buck, split plays and Robinson and Ar mold from the line were effective in ad- vancing the ball.
 The second period was the one in which Clemson did their best work Auburn was weakened in the line with Meadows and Burns out. though Culpepper, who relieved Burns, did very well. The Glenn son attack was finally stopped, but time was called before Auburn could add to the score. In the second half Auburn lost the ball on the 6-inch line through over anxiety to carry 1t over. This misplay cost Auburn a touchdown and gave clem- son one, because after Clemson had kicked out came the fumbling seance in which Clemson scored. Tn the fourth period Auburn scored twice. Newell Christopher and Arnold were the main factors in advancing the ball. The pres ence of numerous scouts limited Auburn offense to simple straightforward foot ball.
 The game Saturday was the last that the Auburn Tigers play on their own campus Next Saturday they meet the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical boys in Birmingham. which bids fair to be hard fought game. Drake Field will be the scene of some lively praeticing this preparatory to the trfp to Birming- ham.

The shat tered instruments which the balloonists carried on their flight were examined The recording apparatus showed they were riding at a height of 5000 feet when they were suddenly hit by yer tical gust of wind which pushed them straight up with the violence of hur- riacane to a height of over 15,0o0 feet. At this altitude the bug burst either from the sudden change in pressure or, as is more likely, from being struck by a lightning bolt The balloon em- bodied all the latest devices in gas bag construction and was regarded throughout Germany as the probable winner of the international cup in next Saturdays contest. Gericke and Stelcr had expected to try for an altitude record in the course of yesterdays s flight, and had equipped their car with oxygen tanks and apparatus to assist them in enduring the rarified atmos- phere in the high attitudes.

YALE COACHES
 ARE SATISFIED

New Haven, Conn, october H.-The Yale coaches and players are satisfied with the outcome of the game against West Point Saturday. The game settled pretty well the makeup of the team ex- cept the quarterback and end positions. Probably the ends will remain as they are until the return of Bomeister to the game The quarterback position bids fair to be the most serious problem of the season for the coaches. Opinion is ex- pressed here that the all-American quar- terback this year is likely to be found on one of the small college elevens, pos- sibly Wesleyan, or Swarthmore.

TIGERS PREPARE
 FOR DARTMOUTH

Princeton. N J., October 21.-The first real test of the local football team will come against Dartmouth next Saturday. The coaches are pleased with the devel- opment of the line up to this time. While the line appears weak. the forwards arc showing enough dash and vigor to off, set to large extent their lack of bulk. The team has rolled up some tremendous totals in it's early season games, but the opposing elevens were generally conceal ed to be exceedingly weak. The Dart mouth contest will give a clearer idea of how much real strength Princeton pos- sesses this year. The Tigers, more than any of the other big teams. will use the wide open variegated color of style of play, which last year proved without yellow and successful.

ing week. quite little attention will be given to offensive work as well. Agri- cultural and Mechanicals interference was not of the highest order. and this also will receive consideration from the coaches before the Auburn struggle.
 As a whole. Agricultural and Mechani- calls work against the Alabama squad was not satisfactory to the cadet sup porters Saturday. The material seems to be heavy and aggressive. and to be fairly well experienced, but the lack of team work and polish was noticeable. With a weeks work given to Smoothing out the rough places that showed in Saturdays S game, the Agricultural and Mechanical squad expects to be in good condition for the Auburn game.
