Auburn No7U Turning Entire

First Time Attempt Being Made to Get Machine Edge
Battle Expected to Be Close and Hard Fought-Team
Will Be Weakened BY Loss of Taylor

Auburn. November 11.-(Special) with
the Georgia Tech team out of the way,
Auburn is now turning its entire atten-
tion toward the Vanderbilt game. For
the first time this year there will be an
attempt to get the team on edge and
practically the entire student body will
be taken to. Birmingham.
That the game viii be close and bitterly
fought is foregone conclusion. Wander
bilt has been somewhat weak in the line
SO far this year, due in large measure
to the injuries of Morgan and Tom
Brown. But with the development of new
material and the return of Tom Brown
to the game. the line will be a different
proposition in the remaining games. Au-
burn is sure to be without the services
of Taylor. the strongest defensive man
on the squad, and who was rapidly inn
proving In his offensive work. Lockwood
win get in for a part of the game. but
it is very doubtful just how long he will
last. The rest Of the squad came through
the Tech game In good shape and as
there will be very little scrimmagiag this
week, there. ought to be no further In
juries.
In the games so far Auburn has been
able to win deeisivey by thorough fun
damental work. Hard tackling, hard
driving and effective open field interfer-
ence has been The main factors. The team
also has shown marked ability to follow
the ball and as a result has been hard
to fool. In the Tech game there was
an attempt to use shift plays, but the
muddy condition of the field was against
them so they were discarded. The at
tempt to use them probably cost Auburn
a touchdown in the first half. After the
intermission the Auburn team started out
with definite plan of attack and played
steadily against the Tech line until the
defense was drawn In when the interfer-
ence was shot around the end, with
Newell carrying the ball. The Tech de-
Tense left itself open for the use of the
forward pass, but as Auburn had the
game won early in the third period every
thing was played safe.

far this year will be rehearsed and got

INTEREST RAPIDLY RISING

With the game still more than two
weeks away the ticket demand ex-

thousands. Secretary John Foster of the
New York baseball club estimates that
close to $4,000 seat coupons could have
been sold.
An effort Is being made to have the
competing players in both of these
games numbered so that there may be
no doubt as to the men making touch
downs, runs and tackles. Coach Cav
anaugh and the Dartmouth college
athletic council have consented to the
plan, but Coach Glenn Warner of the
Carlisle Indians said his team cannot
>adopt this innovation. Dartmouth is
the first big college team to use this
numbering plan in the east, although
it. has proved successful In the west
and in eastern school boy games. If il
proves a successful move in the Dart
mouth Indian game the Army and Navy
elevens will be urged to adopt the

New Orleans, November 11-New Or /
leans scribes and fans are anticipating
a great big civil war when Magnate
Somers of Cleveland attempts to oust
Charley Frank and to put someone else
in control of the New Orleans club.
The annual meeting of the Pelicans
will be held on January 5, and at that
time somers, it is understood, Will
show his hand. The Cleveland owner
owns the controlling stock IN the club
but at the same time the minority
stockholders, of whom Frank is CHIEF
intends to put up a strenuous scrap.
Following dispatches We're sent by
the sporting editor OF the Daily States
to Magnate Somers of Cleveland, when
the thing got past the rumor stage:

you will install new manager here
next season. New Orleans baseball fans

ing editor the Daily States, New Or

cision at this time. c. w. SOMERS.'
Frank, it seems, has announced his
intention of raising all the rumpus
that's in his system when Somers at
tempts the ousting process. The mere
fact that he hasn't denied that Frank
is to go shows that Somers has some-
thing up his sleeve.
The wires carried a story recently
of the purchase of Outfielder Lush of
Toronto. for the Pelicans The an
nouncement was news to Frank and
the Dutchman doesn't know even yet
who made the purchase. Presumably
it was c. w Somers himself Just
what may he expected can be imagined
from the following comment in the New
Orleans paper on Somers' kilograms:
Its going to be a great old session
ON January 5, anyway, when Somers.
Barnard or someone else comes from
Cleveland to vote a majority of the
stock In the Pels.

tion. Almost every fan in the city
feels the same way 1t should be n

gameness has never been questioned
and the st. Vrain battle indicates
Frank knows when he is right and will
go the limit to carry his point.

given the title: Baseball Brains VS.

"Of courshe, a compromise can be
effected. Whether Somers and Frank
can be induced to gait themselves to

Great as is the interest in this game,
however. it falls short of the general

ODDS FAyORING AUBURN

Nashville, November 11.-(Special)
"Auburn has not licked us yet, or, as
julius Caesar would have put it, the ides
of March have not passed. said Coach
McGugin. after he had listened to Stein
Stone explaining what a magnificent
scoring machine the Plainsmen possess
and to cap it all had to founder through
a flock of kilograms from Lewie Hardage
advising the commodores to stop Kirk
Newell.
While the Vanderbilt is far from being
confident of his wrecked machine to hum
ble the Alabamians, he is not for mo-
ment wanting time In trying to figure out
some way to throttle the Auburn attack.
Just how he figures on taking care of Ar
mold, Harris and Captain Newell, the
Commodore coach has little to say, but it
is almost certain that Vanderbilt will
stick to the open game and count on the
forward pass, since there is little hope OF
the green forwards being able to create
much havoc in the Auburn stonewall de-
fense The saddest blow to Vanderbilt's
hopes for a steady line is the news that
after all, Tom Brown will not be able to
get into the Birmingham scrap. Toms
physicians felt sure that his ankle would
have mended by Saturday, and just when
the mighty tackle had been counted as
a certainty behind the line, an examina-
tion of his wounded leg shows that it is
far from being healed. Putnams back
ing up the line against Tennessee was all
that could be asked and that human cata-
pult Annie Skies, will be right in there
helping him against Auburn. That's the
best secondary defense the Commodores
can hope for, yet it will handicap Skies
carrying the ball, so great will be the
physical wear and tear upon him.
Interference Poor
Skies has displayed nothing like his old
time attack this season, not from any
fault of his, but solely due to the fact
that he has had absolutely no interfer-
ence made for him. Mcqueen and
Boensch are practically worthless at
guarding the runner, and McGugin's chief
