Dit Tor the first time in that period
tasted defeat, and Vanderbilt is still
glorious.
NO detraction from the magnifl-
cence OF Auburn, for when the Orange
and Blue sent the Commodores back
to Nashville beaten by a IA to s score
the followers Of the ancient Commo-
uore who endowed a Methodist uni
Vers1ty knew that they had fought,
and had fought vallantiy. And be 1t
understood had It not been for Au-
purns reserve power, they might
have been fighting yet.
Think of II, Auburn won by the
force of Auburn's fullbacks. Any or
binary team Is usually contented
with one great fullback, but Auburn
had to show four, and the quartet
answered.
Harris started. Harris is some man.
Harris grew fatigued
Hart was called. Hart grew tired,
and then came Christopher.
The tongue OF Christopher began to
protrude and then Bedez was sent into
the breach.
Between the combination Of Harris
to Hart to Christopher to Bedez, Au-
burn did business, always remember
ing that this quartet was aided and
abetted by Messrs. Pitts and Lock-
wood
A ND here's the idea. A man may
- take the jolt of Jeffries on the
jaw; he may survive the slug Of F'itz-
simmons; 1t may be that he will live
after the maui of a Morris, and it
has happened that there has been
those that have stood up under the
larrup of a Langford; but there never
has been man, and there never will
be man. who can take these four con-
secutive punches in succession.
Wherefore glory be to Vanderbilt
And three or four cheers for Auburn
Here's a brief analysis of the game
Auburn came to Birmingham UNI
beaten, but ready to get over the dis
ease. Vanderbilt was cooked and
primed to get well by making Auburn
the goat. The Old Gold and Black
had been beaten by Michigan and
Virginia, but doggone it no S. l. A. A
team had done it; wherefore Auburn
! being an S. |. A. A. team 1t was Van
dy's sworn duty to down Auburn
Auburn came to Birmingham con-
fioent In victory. In fact, every sup
porter that the Orange and Blue ever
possessed in this excellent State OF
iron ore, Oscar Underwood, Rich
mond Pearson HobSon, and cotton
and corn Ticker, came to Birming-
ham to celebrate the Vanderbilt mort
They came here to the extent OF
10000 The turnstiles at Redwood
showed that much.
A UBURN was unduly enthusiastic
"A Instead of finding walkover
they struck q snag. Only through
the middle of the line could q gain
be made. Auburns method of play
ing the tackles wide proved a failure

This gentleman deserves South

runs around his side, was as help

the ball close to Nanderbilt's goa

nothing could stop Auburn.
The Commodores never lost heart
The variety of attack they sprung
was startling. Boensch used quarter
back runs that Auburn seemed un
able to solve. Skies pulled tackles in
side, and then went outside of them
In fact, Auburn's tackles never seem
