Vandy Figuring On Next Season
Commodores Have Hard Luck
By Tad

/, now out of the game for the rest of
the season. All the brains of the
quarterbacks have been corralled in
their toes, Boensch and Curtin having
both failed dismally in field general
ship.
or course. it can be argued, and
Justly so, that with 7. Brown and
Morgan in the Virginia game, the
score would have been much closer,
but it is foolish to presume that the
Charlottesville team would not have
won. Tom Browns loss carried with
1t almost the last ray of hope for a
Vanderbilt victory over either Au-
burn or Sewanee, and Morgans
cracked ankle settles the whole thing
beyond any doubt entertained by the
most optimistic Commodore sup
porter.
No team. since McGugin in 1904
lifted Vanderbilt from gridiron OBJ
security to champions, has suffered the
tough breaks of the luck encountered
by the 1918 eleven. There must be,
after all, something in that "13" jirlX.
First, Glenn Reams, one of the most
promising linesmen from last years
second string went down with the
typhuB germ and although he has at
tempted to get into few scrimmages,
he is unfit for hard game. Then the
S. l. A. A. delivered a solar plexus by
ruling Josh Cody the crack tackle,
ineligible. Tom Brown went out for
the season with a broken bone in his
ankle, and the same dose fell to Nor
gan
With Cody, T. Brown and Morgan
in the line-but why dwell on impos-
sibilities? Added to all his other
woes, McGugin found the new mate
rial so slow in picking up rudiments
of the game that they gave the back
field absolutely no assistance in tear
ing holes in the opponents line. Not
only weak on the attack, the forwards
are even worse defensively, and now
with T. Brown and Morgan out who
will put up the secondary defense?
Skies can hardly be expected to carry
the ball and back up the line in addi-
ton. But 1t looks as If it will just
about end that way, and, by the way
it will be mans size job for Skies
but he Is a gluuon for work and Is
marvel at assimilating punishment.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Nov s.
" Now that they have begun to
sing requiems and swing the
incense pots over the PROSTATE body
of the poor old battered Commodores,
it gives the post-mortem authorities a
chance to discover just exactly what
caused the death of the gridiron king
of former years. There is no use
beating around the bush, the Black
and Gold eleven has been toppled off
it's lofty perch simply because 1t is
outclassed this season in the South.
The only astonishing thing about
the whole matter is that the fall has
not come sooner than 1t has. But
even the hungry gridiron jackals, who
have been starved through the long,
lean years, during which the Commo-
dores gobbled up everything in sight,
are forced to admit that the pickings
were mighty slim under the McGugin
regime. Now that their inning has
arrived, they had best make we'll of it,
for next year is something else again
and the spectacle of d Vanderbilt
eleven being slaughtered twice in sue
cession will hardly be presented for
quite a stretch of moons
If that were the end of 1.-THE routs
by Michigan and Virginia--the Com
modore supporters would not find the
cup so bitter. But with their backs
against the wall, nowhere is there an
opening through which to escape,
with Tennessee, Auburn and Sewanee
stalking about the Vanderbilt camp
There can be no alibis nor excuses
offered for the pitiful showing of this
seasons eleven, which has been out
Classed in every. department of the
game, They haven't had the punch to
their attack nor the stamina to resist

Clemson Expects to

Struggle Tomorrow

AUGUSTA, GA, Nov 5.--The Uni
versity of Georgia eleven is going to
have the battle of its life here to-
morrow when they meet the Clemson
College team
Local football students are OF the
opinion that the game is not going
to be in the nature of any practice
romp for the Red and Black, as some
would lead one to believe.
Bob Williams, coach of the Glenn
son College team is reputed through
out the South as being demon on
defensive tactics, and according to the
dope he has a headfull of Georgia
plays that have been hammered into
the Clemson eleven this week.
Georgias offense is going to receive
severe test in this game. While
even the most ardent Clemson sup
porters concede Georgia the victory
they are of the opinion that 1t will
only be after the hardest kind of a
fight and by the closest margin.

among the magnates at the end
of Lynch's first term. He had
antagonized Ebbets and Fogel
and these two men advocated the
election of Brown. But by this
time Hermann and Dreyfuss had
come to the conclusion that Lynch
was making good, and their votes
were able to re-elect him. EVERY
year since then Ebbets has en-
deaVored to get Browns name in
at the annual meeting, but with
out success. Now come Herr
mann and Dreyfuss openly .ad-
vocating the election of the
Louisville man. Ebbets can be
expected to vote with the other
two. Murphy, of Chicago. doesn't
like Lynch but he has shown no
inclination to vote for Brown.
The situation in the National
League camp at present is some
thing like this:
In favor Of Brown: Hermann,
of Cincinnati: Jreyfuss. Of Pitts
burg, and Ebbetts, of Brooklyn.
Against Lynch: Hermann, Of
Cincinnati; Dreyfuss, of Pitts
burg; Ebbets, OF Brooklyn; Muir
pny. Of Chicago, and Gaffney, Of
Boston.
Thus 1t will be seen that while
there are five maRnates against
Lynch for reelection there are
only three men in favor Of
Brown. The chances are that If
Lynch is not re-elc ted the office
will fall to some dark horse
whose name has not set been
mentioned. There seems little
chance of Brown winning over
Lynch. There are eight clubs in
the National League. Five of
them must agree to candidate
to insure his election.

This is practically the stand of
President Gaffney, of the Boston

Gaffney is not particularly en-
amoured of Mr.. Lynch as presi-
dent of the National League, but
he sees no reason for voting Tor
Robert Brown, of Louisville, the
candidate put forward by Mr.
Hermann. of Cincinnati. Mr.
Gaffney's reason for not caring
for the Louisville man is that
Mr.. Brown doesn't know enough
about baseball. particularly the
conduct of National League at
fairs. He doubtless believes that
being a stranger TO National

Brown a much worse man than

DROWN was originally the

bets who dug up Brown. This

COLLEGE SPIRIT.

College spirit is composed Of youth
and redeye in equal parts.
1t causes young men to emit strange
and vociferous noises and to wreck
thirst bazaars and moving picture
emporiums to the everlasting glory of
their alma mater.
College spirit is most virulent in
the fall when the frost is on the
pumpkin ere the text books are in
hook. 1t affects only the young and
disappears completely after an Inoc-
uIation of horse sense.
Exponents of college spirit are much
like opponents of grand opera. You
know they mean we'll, but you can't
tel what they are bowling about.
No man ever has discovered in what
language the college student roots,
but there is a suspicion that it is
some dead language that has been
unearthed and is shriekine for mercy.
College spirit and higher education
GO hand in hand, the college student
hitting the high spots every time his
spirit is aroused by football game.
John Evers, who has taken up golf,
has decided to spend ten days on the
nine-hoIe course at Excelsior Springs.
1t is an even bet that he will make

Leguminous crops must be grown in

5ustifies the farmer who grows

In feeding narrow rations. Owing to
the fact that we can grow leguminous
crops every month in the year for

DAMPNESS WILL CAUSE ROUP
1t Should Be Remembered That Fresh
Air Never Made a Fowl Sick, No
Matter How Cold,

The beginner very often introduces
roup to his flock by doing some fool
ish thing. For instance, he will close
up the house tight at night In win
ter, when the weather is very cold,
and allow it to remain closed all the
next day. Naturally moisture Is Gre
ated which generates dampness, and
the whole house will feel like vault.
The dampness which fills the house
at night, and which usually comes
from the fowls breath, can easily be
dispelled in the daytime by opening
all the windows wide. Nothing will
dispel dampness 80 quickly as fresh
air, especially IL 1t be dry. 1t must
be remembered also that fresh air
never made fowl sick and 1t matters
not how cold the outside temperature
may be, 1t will benefit the fowls.
