TECH SUCCUMBS TO AUBURN ATTACK AND
 IA TO 0 SCORE IS MADE
Game Hard Fought Throughout and Two Fum- bles On Techs Part Spells Difference Between Two Teams -Kearley, For Auburn, Is Particu- lar Star of Game

Atlanta. November 1.-0Special.)-Au- burn defeated Georgia Tech here this aft ernoon in a hard fought game by the score of fl to 0, but the score does not show the fierceness of the struggle, nor the closeness of the two teams in strength.
 Techs fumbles were costly. Her first one in the first quarter cost her 8 touch down, as she had marched down the field to Auburn's five-yard line only to lose 1t.
 Her second put Auburn in position to score her first touchdown in the second period and her tumble of a punt in the fourth period, gave Auburn similar chance
 "Bulr' Kearley. Auburn's left end, is the hero of the game. He was the sam White" of Auburn. It was his uncanny ability to get loose and keep his eye on the ball that kept Auburn from being scored upon and paved the way for the two touchdowns she made. Kearley re- covered all three Tech fumbles. He was like a streak getting down the field un- der punts.
 Bidez, Harris. Hart and Prendegast all played nice offensive bali for Auburn. Kearley starred on the defense. Senter, Goree, Spence and Fielder starred for Tech. Hayes and Goree starred on the defensive. Tech outplayed Auburn in the

Ann Arbor, Mich., November 7.-Tearing Pennsylvania's defense to shreds, the Michigan squad won a 34 to football victory today The size of the score was a surprise even to Coach Yost.
 Pennsylvanias only score was in the first period Merrill caught Michigan punt near his own goal line. dodged a. Wolverine end and three times wrenched himself. loose from tacklers. He finally was downed on Michigan's 43-yard line and a moment later Matthews drop kicked a goal from field.
 Michigan'c first touchdown in the sec. opd period was partly the result of Tuck er's poor punt, which was out of bounds on Pennsylvania's 35-yard line. Catlett made the score and Hughitt kicked goal Then Michigan opened up. Fake kicks delayed passes and long forward passes complicated positions, seemed to demor- alize Pennsylvania's secondary defense. Benton made the second touchdown and Maulbetsch the third. Splawns long punt kept Pennsylv on the watch during the second period and was also effective in the third. Hughitt and Maulbetsch each made a touchdown. The game was

Cambridge, Mass, November 7.-Har- yard crushed Princeton, 20 to o, today Tn their annual football game.
 The Crimson completely outclassed the Tigers in every department of play The New Jersey colIegians had little offensive or defensive strength and their nearest approach to the Crimson goal line was in the first period, when the Orange and Black secured the ball on a tumble on Harvards 35-yard line. Even with the ball well in their opponents territory, at a period of the game when all the attack ing players were fresh. Princeton was unable to retain this advantage, relin- quishing the ball on the first play by a d sastrous tumble. Harvard never was seriously threatened.
 After numerous exchanges of punts, Harvard got the ball on Princeton's Ss- yard line and after gaining close to 20 yards in three rushes, Mahan dropped back to the Tigers ss-yard line and kicked the first field goal of the game. In the second period much the same tactics were pursued.
 The home. team continued the smashing attack in the third quarter, and gaining possession of the ball on Princeton punt to the Harvard 4o-yard line, proceeded to march up the field again for the final score of the contest.
 Harvard sent in what was virtually substitute team in the last quarter ,and Princeton tried out its much vaunted open attack. The Tigers made their two first downs of the game here. one by rush ng aid the other on a forward pass The Crimson substitutes offered a sturdy de. ense, however. and the game ended with the Orange and Black still near mid field Tie few yards gained in these few final minutes of play was Princeton sole ga in the 50 minutes of contest.
 All told. the visiting team made 39 yaros and two frs, downs in IS rushes, while .ne vcsors rushed S2 times for 291 yards and l6 first downs Harvard punted 233 times for "A yards and ran the ball back on prjncetan punts i65 yards.

bass strikes. Then W. H. Kettig rigs two Dowagiacs to his boat driven by a small propeller in Lake Purdy and hooks them, up to pounds II ounces.
 The fly fishermen are legion, and among them may be mentioned Dick Eggleston, Sid Cowan, Lucien Brown, George Mabry, Sol Caheen, Dr. Will Jordan, Dr. May, Dr. Carmichael; in fact, full list of those who can tempt the gamest fish that swims in inland southern waters with a "buclStail,' Yellow Sally" an "Ibis,'' a professor or "hackle" would take a half column of space.
 I caught a bass in North Carolina waters with a live minnow weighing eight pounds and four ounces. In 1912 caught bass in the East Lake waters that weighed seven pounds four ounces. During the past three years have caught in East Lake many bass weighing four pounds and over several more than five pounds in weight. In the spring of 1912 I caught mouth bass in East Lake with a Dowagiac that showed six pounds eight ounces on the scales.
 There are two classes of minnows that are popular the 'steelbacks' and the "spot-tails." I prefer the "spot-tail.." He Is game and bass knows that 1t re- quires action to seize one; in fact. don't believe bass can catch "spot-tail' In an open, equal chance race. Small bream are good live bait' at times, and frogs and crawfish will tempt the average size. one to three pounds, bass; but it takes a game minnow, or a well cast fly, or a Dowagiac to snare the big ones. Bass do not always strike because they are hungry. They are pugnactous and will strike either for gameness or when dis turbed or attracted by moving objects, such as a wooden minnow, with bright spinners whirling round when drawn through the water
 Frequently bass will toy around a live minnow on a hook, sometimes root ing him like hog pushes with his snout approaching and backing off, regular cat and mouse game. Some years ago, in the clear waters of an artificial lake

The sport of fishing goes actively on these lovely autumn days with white frosts or yelling fogs at sunrise followed by almost summer heat at midday.
 In the spring, the dogwood blossoms as a tshermans sign and in the fall to the average mind, the dog would bark on the 'possum's trail, or the sound of whir- ring wings of flushed quail is the token of the seasons sport.
 Although the summer season was only fair as to luck with most disciples of Izaak Walton, the coming of the sea- son of the sere and yellow leaf has brought fine luck to the creels of many fishermen. In the contest for the $25 prize offered by the Birmingham Arms and Cycle company for the largest bass caught in Jefferson county during the current year, there has developed q highly interesting progressive feature. In the early summer the bass taken were small and the first one placed on the of- flcial scales weighed only IA pounds. In July bass weighing from pounds 3 ounces to pounds 3 ounces were taken. During the months of September and Oc- tober the several catches showed steady increases In the last week of October W. H. Kettig took first place with 8 small-mouth bass
 This Is an unusual catch as the small mouth has not been heretofore known of such weight in the waters hereabouts Three Ways of Fishing
 In the art of bass fishing there are three ways that are popular with different sportsmen according to their predeec- tions. The fly casters think they are the haute ton of the tribe, but once in q while one stoops to the Dowagiae, or "a meat hunter" we will say; or perhaps he will hook a minnow to try his luck when the finny game don't rise to his several lures. There is Dick Burt, a fly fisher mans who is also the king of Dowagiac fishermen, who vii sometimes drop a wooden mnnow with 15 hooks out behind

Nashville, November 7.-(Specia1) For the first time in history Tennessee won from Vanderbilt this afternoon by a score of 16 to IA. Tennessee's victory eliminates Vanderbilt as an aspirant for S l. A A. football honors. Carrolfs s placement kick from the 2o-yard line gave Tennessee a margin of two points and the game, as both eleevns made two touchdowns.
 Tennessees touchdowns resulted from line bucks and two forward passes across the goal line, Carroll being on the receiving end of both passes Guar terback Currey scored both of Var derbilts touchdowns. Cody kicked two easy goals for Vanderbilt, while Carroll for Tennessee missed an easy trial at goal.

A Modern Arabian Night

From the Wall Street Journal.
 Not many years ago a certain wealthy man picked up q likely looking cop per mine at the bargain price of $40o,- 900. As he was deeply interested in another mining property at the time, he gave comparatively little attention to his newest acquisition.
 After four months had lapsed an- other wealthy man made the first financier an offer of $350.000 for his mining property. The latter figured this way: "The $350.00 Is equivalent to s75 per cent on the original investment or at the rate of 2625 per cent per annum. Not so bad" And he accepted the of- fer. The purchaser since that time has taken more than 00,000,000 out of that copper mine and it still yields him an income estimated at s600,o00 ! month.
 The seller was Col Robert M. Thomp- son; the buyer Senator William A. Clark, and the mine the United Verde.
