AUBURN BEATS
VANDERBILT IN
HOT GAME,14
Donahue's Great Quartet of Full
backs Proves Too Much for
Fighting Commodores.
Bv Fuzzy Woodruff.

u Vanderbilt has been glorious la
victory for a decade Wander
bit for the first time in that period
tasted defeat and Vanderbilt is still
glorious
NO detraction from the magnifi
eence of Auburn, for when the Orange
and Blue sent the Commodores back
10 Nashville beaten by IA to score
the followers of the ancient Commo-
oore who endowed a Methodist uni
fersity knew that they had fought
and had fought valiantly. And be il
understood had II not been for Au-
burn $ reserve power they might
have been fighting yet
Think OF II, Auburn won by tbs
force OF Auburns fullbacks. Any or
binary team is usually contented
with one great fulIback but Auburn
rad 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
he breach
Between the combination of Harris
10 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 Fitz-
simmons; II may be that he will live
after the maui of Morris, and ii
has happened that there has been
those that have stood up under the
iarrup of Langford; but there never
fas 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 brief analysis of the game.
Auburn came to Birmingham un-
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 ant
Virginia, but doggone it no s. |. A. A
team had done It; wherefore Auburn
teinG an 8. ]. A. A. team II was Van
dy's sworn duty to down Auburn
Auburn came to Birmingham con
ficent in victory. In fact. every sup
porter that the Orange and Blue ever
possessed In this excellent State oil
iron ore Oscar Underw GOD, Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, and cotton
and corn ticker, came to Birmins
ham TO celebrate the Vanderbilt mort
They came here to the extent OF
10000. The turnstiles at lockwood
showed that much.
A UBURN was unduly enthusiastic
- Instead of finding walkover
they struck snag. Only through
the middle of the line could a gain
be made Auburn's method OF play
ing the tackles wide proved a failure
with Muck Brown playing an end
This gentleman deserves All-South-
ern honors for this gam, alone,
Kirk Newell who had to make his
runs around his side, was as help
less as the infant reaching for the
soap in the well known advertise
ment And Newell is some football
player,
Denahue's variety Of attack wa.
aarefully concealed Only once, an'
that was in the lest quarter dld Ne
resort TO other han straight foot
ball. Then he employed the Minneso'
ia shift, or q variation thereof BY
! This method he plunged the ball oil
straight downs g. yards for touch
down.
r ROM the very start Auburn start
L ed It's line hammering, And from
the very start this hammering told
1t was in this period when carryinI
the ball close TO Nanderbuts goa
line, the Commodores received 10
yard penalty for roughing, and thei
nothing could stop Auburn
The Commodores never lost heart
The variety of attack they spruni
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
ed too strong And then to scor'
the Commodores used triple Tor
ward pass 1t was Mcqueen t
Skies to Boensch,
And there Donahues coachin;
showed. The formation fooled tn
Orange and Blue once Never again
The pass was tried time and tim
again. Ana never again did 1t work
In the meantime Mir, Harris, o
MIR. Christopher, or Mr. Hart, or MI
gedez was bucking And there b
hangs the tale,
