READY FOR
CLASH WITH
SEWANEE
Loeb and Patten in Game for First
Time Of Season, and Likely to
Give Locals Advantage,
Continued From Page /.

~ the Plainsmen are one OF the most
| formidable aggregations in this sec
ton this season, and they may be
figured fayorites in this battle. How
ever, supporters of the Louisiana in
stitution are already laying claim 10
strong chances for first honors, owing
to the splendid showing made against
Baylor of Texas. Then, too it must
be remembered that Auburn won their
game with the Louisianans last year
by margin of one touchdown, which
was scored on a long run which re-
suited from a tumble Donohues
team may strike rough going
Georgia Likely to Win.
Georgia will no doubt get YER
dict over the Tar Heels Little, how
ever, is known locally of the North
State mer. and ii is entirely possible
that they may spring surprise. OF
recent years Virginia has managed to
trim their more southerly brethren
rather consistently. In view Of the
fact that the Athenians made Vir-
ginia go the limit to win Saturday it
may be figured that they have the
edge over Carolina, unless the latter
shows considerable Improvement this
season.
Owing TO the injury which put Tom
Brown out of the game, Virginia
should have better than an even
chance to even up last years score
with Vanderbilt. With Brown out OF
the line. the Commodores must tackle
the Nirginians on their own field, with
a line composed of first year men with
the single exception of Morgan at
center.
Browns absence will have another
important bearing, since he was re-
Il la
the team in defensive play. He was
played back on the line on defense,
and was credited with making fully
40 per cent of the tackles for his
team. The especial importance of his
work in this respect is empha sized
by the fact that Virginia has pow
erful attack just outside of tackle.
! With the veterans Carter and Maiden
pitted against Vanderbilt's two mex
perienced men, this driving attack
across the TANKS is likely TO prove
, disastrous to Nanderbilt's chances in
the absence of reliable man to plug
up the secondary defense. If the
Commodores can check these on
slaughts successfully. they should
have a good chance Of coming out
victors.
