Nashville. October 25.-tspecial) -out-
CHASING Vanderbilt with beautifully ex-
ecuted forward passes and puzzling trick
plays Michigan sprung a big surprise by
piling up S3 points against the Commo-
dores whose safety, resulting from
blocked kick in the first quarter, gave
the southerners their only two points of
the game. Vanderbilt supporters were
expecting Michigan victory, but were
unprepared for the crushing defeat adj
ministered by the Yost machine.
After heavy penalties had checked
s whirwind attack by Vanderbilt in the
first period, Lyons. Quinn and Torbitt
began peeing off long forward passes
against which Vanderbilt offered pitiful
defense, while the cleverly masked trick
plays always caught the Commodores
mapping and were good for big gains.
The miserable selection of plays by
Boensch. the Vanderbilt quarter, kept
his team constantly on the defensive.
Hughitt. on the other hand, displayed
rare judgment and the varied attack
literally swept the Commodores off their
feet.
Vanderbilt attempted several forward
passes after the forwards had failed
mserably to open holes for the light
Commodore backs. But they were al
ways either interrupted or fell incom-
plete In the second period Vanderbilt
threw scare into the Michiganders
when Skies almost single handed car
ried the oval deep into Wolverine terri
tory only to tumble when fiercely tackled
by Meade.
Tom Brown Injured
Quinn in the second period in' attempt
ing to punt from behind the Michigan
goal inc, was blocked by T. Brown, who
fell upon the ball for a safety. He
crashed into the fence. tearing several
throat carriages loose and was finally
carried from the field in critical con-
dition.

Goal in Danger
Line plunges by Gait and Hughitt and
a fake forward pass by Gait put the ball
on Michigans 30-yard line Vanderbilt
stiffencd and Quinn was forced to punt.
Boensch made mess of the catch, Lyons
falling on the oval. Hughitt ploughed
through center for the fourth touchdown
and Pontius again muffed the punt out.
