 In the first half Sewanee' sscore was made in the first 10 minutes of play. In ths second half but five minutes were required to add another 6. It was Parker again, and the big end, after a few pre- liminary skirmishes, bucked the ball over from mid-ield. Tolley missed goal.
 Sewanee's final score came in the fourth quarter and again it was Parker assisted by Fort. The latter went through the line for 20 yards and the end took 1t the rest of the way. That ended the scoring and few minutes later time was up with the ball on Alabama's 15-yard line.
 There was much brilliant individual work on both sides Tolley, as was ex- pected, starred As q broken field run ner his equal has not been seen at Rick wood this season. He is 8 hard man to tackle and proved particularly elusive for the Alabama backs. He is fast and slippery and picks his sopeniags care fully. Tolley gave great promise last year and has fully borne it out.
 Other Tiger stars were Parker, whose ability is attested by the fact that he scored all the touchdowns, and R. Palmer The former is a big fellow but fast on his feet and fierce plunger. He hits the line with terrific force and winch called upon yesterday he was always there with the needed ground. Palmer Is @ light little halfback, but slippery as an
  and M.
 For Alabama, Long was the best ground gainer His broken field running was great "Old Reliable Bill Harsh was the only man who could penetrate the Sewanee line. To other backs it was im- pregnable. VandeGraaff played his usual aggressive game at tackle and his toe was the saving factor on the defense.
 Followers of Alabama yesterday were puzzled to find the reason for her ex- tremely poor showing. One need not look far. Love was put out of the game in the early part and Joplin has been lost to the team.
 The Crimson seemed to lack unity yes terday. The fighting spirit was not there. It did not move as one man against the enemy, while the interference was the poorest ever put up by Alabama at Rick wood field.
 The team feels the loss of Joplin as i, much as predicted. Griffith Harsh was at quarter and played grittily. but he was not Joplin, having neither the latter's ex- perience nor judgment Then, too, the team seemed to lack confidence in him.
 But the greatest mistake Alabama made yesterday was In abandoning open play After seeing that the Sewanee line was impregnable the attack should have been shifted, but on the contrary, they con tinued to hammer the Tiger line with no result.
