causes for encouragement in the
ranks Of Commodores supporters, for
the Vanderbilt coach Is singulariy
blessed this season with three sets
of backs, Friel. first choice at half
and the most promising punting pros

with water on the knee, and but little
hope is entertained that he will be
able to return to the lineup until the
Tennessee game. In the single game
that he played Friel displayed a dis
Position to go into the line low and
hard and proved an adept at shaking
off tacklers.
Ray, the Hawkins fullback candi-
date, has been turned into a half and
his powerful knee action is a striking
reminder OF the wonderful Owsley
Manner. for whom ne is a dead ringer
when driving off tackles. The most
distressing thing about Ray is his
utter ina bilty to take blocking seri-
ously. and this failure detracts so per
cent from his all around ability. He
has been given special attention by
the coaches and while he Is not ex-
actly indifferent to his drilling, he Is
improving in this respect at a dis
couragingly slow rate.
Red Floyd. the other halfback, who
has been given nrst call since Friel
was injured in the Georgetown game,
has made a highly favorable impress
sion In his offensive and defensive
play. For two seasons Floyd tried
TO make the team. but not before he
has displayed the axgresstveness
which has marked his work since

Nashville. Tenn, Oct 28.---After
playing truant for two long and bar
rem years from the Commodore camp,
old timely punch" Is making signs
like return t. the McGugin fold. 1t
may turn out to be false alarm, for
u must be confessed that the basis
for the belief that .he Vandy outfit Is
showing symptoms of developing a
eemblance of drive to the attack is
founded solely on the showing made
against elevens possessing but feeble
resistance. Yet, I'm spite of this the
baekfield has been impressive In Its
style OF play, to such an extent that
there ID some excuse for the hope
among Commodore supporters that
the 1915 machine will not be the
NeAkling Of 1912 and 1914.
Ever since the season Of 1919 the
Commodores have been trnmpled upon
for no better reason than they lacked
the power In the attack. Running
back through last year, the fact that
Alhe tire might have been turned In
favor of the Black and Gold in the
North Carolina, Tennessee and
9ewanee struggle with only single
touchdown spread over the three bat
ties.
This season sturdy line has yet to
be found fronting the Commodore
attack. no resistance has as yet been
encountered to hurl back the punch
behind the line with any consistency,
and for that reason an intelligent
gauge OF the vandy strength Is impos-
sible. Likewise. the defensive strength
of Vanderbilt Is still matter of con-
lecture. No plunging backs have
hurled themselves against the Com
m0dore line as yet Whether the
forwards can check well balanced
