TECH PROFITS FROM
 .SEWANEE' DEFEAT BY CRIMSON ELEVEN
Yellow Jackets Use Same Plays as Tigers Used Pre- vious Saturday-RumOr
 Tech Scout at Game

Football enthusiasts who saw the game in which the University of Ala bama defeated Sewanee here on Satur- day, October 30, and who read The Age Herald's excellent account of the game in Atlanta last Saturday, in which Ala bama was beaten by Georgia Tech by a decisive score, were struck by the simi- larity in play of the Yellow Jackets and the Tigers.
 Sewanee early in the game found the weak spot in the Alabama line and their backs repeatedly tore gaping holes over center for substantial gains A split tackle buck was also very effective and tackle seemed unable to stop it.
 Now observe the words of Dick Jemi- son, sporting editor of the Atlanta Con stitution, in his account of the game for The Age Herald: Tech scored her three touchdowns on straight football, alternat- ing a drive through the center of the line with smash on a split buck off either tackle"
 These tactics were exactly those of Se- vance in the previous games and where Alabama showed a glaring weakness. It is regarded as significant that the Yellow Jackets should have so instantly and with

COMMODORES' DEFEAT SHOCKS SOUTHERN
 GRIDIRON CIRCLES
Vandy Was Expected to Give Virginia Hard Fight.
 Many Looked for Commodores to Win-Size of
 Georgia Techs Score Over Alabama Surprising. i. Attention Turns to Big Games Next Saturday

Atlanta, November 7.-Southern foot ball circles received a shock yesterday but no real surprises The shock came in the size of Virginia's score against in southern circles had come to be re- Barded as well-nigh irresistible; their de- fensivo well-nigh impregnable, and there were few, even among Virginia support- CTS, who would predict a Virginia vic- tory by so large a score. Many, indeed. thought Vanderbilt's chances to win were excellent.
 The work of Mayer, Virginias left half, in carrying the ball, combined with the magnificent interference furnished by the Virginia ends, backs and tackles, and the vigor with which the Charlottes- vile forwards rammed into the Van derbilt defenses was such that little less than stone wall could have stopped them. This was especially true in the second period when Virginia sewed up the game by scoring four of it's five touchdowns
 Berkeley, Virginia's s diminutive quarter showed himself to be a first class field general Biding his time and with his team behind him, 3 to 0, he discovered that Vanderbilts s chief weakness lay in the left side of the line and he sent play after play against that side until

Adams, the game Commodore left end was forced to retire during the sec ond period He returned in the final session and played whirlwind game, but the tide already had set in and could not be overcome
 Vanderbilt for the first time this sea son sprung a dropkicker in the person Of Cody who plays at right tackle In the first period with both sides score less he was pulled back and from the 42-yard line, booted the ball between the Virginia goal posts for the first score Of the game and the only score for Vanderbilt until in the final period when Curry, the Commodores brillian quar- ter, While going at top speeds picked up the ball when Virginia fumbled and raced almost the length of the field for touchdown.
 Georgia Tech in winning from Alabama here did nothing unexpected beyond the size of the score. The thin red line" usually gives Tech a hard contest. and the latter had been prmed to retrieve the 1914 defeat.
 Alabama played hard throughout Bully VandeGraaff, the Crimson tackle vas here there and everywhere, Time after time he broke up Tech plays and that the score was not larger was due
 
 VandeGraaff's punts averaged 50 yards about 15 more than those of Spence for Tech. Alabamas score in the final pc riod came after many Tech first string players had been relieved and resulted from forward pass, VandeGraaff to Stevenson:
 Auburn ran up a score of 46 to against Mercer. This game was largely to keep the Plainsnen in shape for the Van derbilt contest next Saturday.
 The Yanderbit-Auburn contest at Bir- mingham and the Georgia-Georgia Tech contest here next Saturday, now are the points of attention. Whether Vanderbilt will be able to give Auburn the con- test expected after two hard games in as many weeks is problematical. The Georgia-Georgia Tech contest is chiefly of local interest, although if Tech comes through victorious and Auburn defeats Vanderbilt, the championship of the old part of the s. l. A.. A would be de- cided on Grant field here Thanksgiving Day.

 It was whispered when Alabama was meeting Sewanee that Yellow Jacket scout was an interested observer of the Crimson machine and the game in Atlan- ta last Saturday would seem to lend con- siderable rumor to the report

ward interference and the cleaner hand ling and following of the ball that made victory possible. In Click, Tibbott and Driggs Princeton has trio of starsl but they were unable to reach tho heights of play shown by Mahan, owina a to the lack of support by the other teanl members at critical moments
 Although Yale played a better all round game against Brown than the Elis have developed in previous contests this fall, it was not equal to defeat 1 ing the Providence team, and it would appear that both Princeton and HarI yard, which must be faced during thd next two weeks, are much superior td the Blue.
 The forward pass with which Wash ington and Jefferson bewi1dered and del feated Yale failed to mystify Pittsburg and Glenn Warmers pupils eliminated their opponents from the race for first place gridiron honors. The danger inI vo1ved in the aerial attack was showr by the fact that Pittsburg twice scored by securing the spherofd when Washs ington and Jefferson furnbled the passesl
 Pennsylvania and Dartmouth played nip and tuck game in which honors were about even, although the Greer finally emerged victor. The Quakers with a reconscruted team, showed td better advantage than heretofore this season. Much the same situation prel vailed at Annapolis, where the Navy defeated Buckne1l. The middies gave their coaches some slight encouraged ment by playing stronger football but the weakness of their opponents madd it doubtful if this improvement was as marked as it appeared.
 The east and west broke even on the intersectional games of the day Cornell defeating Michigan at Anr Arbor and Notre Dame winning from the Army at West Point. The soldiers and the western players were evenly matched and victory was in doubt until the closing minutes of the contest Tho Army failed to uncover any particular strength in either offense or defensd or any effective playing campaign.
 In the other contests on eastern fields the results were on par with the play on the big gridirons.

LIVINGSTON WINS IN GAME FEATURED
 BY BATTLE ROYAL

Livingston, November 7.-(Special.)-Fo the second time this season the football elevens of Livingston and Cuba yes terday engaged in a struggle for supre- macy and again Cuba went down in de- feat by the score of 24 to 6. The Liv- ingston boys were playing at home and played hard from the first, scoring a touchdown in the first quarter, but failed to kick goal.
 Cuba made a touchdown in the sec ond quarter and also failed to kick goal. At the end of the first half the game was very much in doubt, with the odds fla voring Cuba. but the Livingston bunch went in the last half with plenty of pep and made touchdown in three minutes. Two more were made, making the final score 24 to 6.
 The biggest feature of the game was a free-for-all fight on Cuba's gnal line when Livingston made her first touch down in the second half. About 40 par ticipated but no one was hurt. The sheriff of Sumter county, who plays on the I.ivigston team, had the ball and was oI. the bottom. His deputy, Joe Patton, soon restored order Everybody shook hands and the game was resumed

New York, November 7-Foothall hopes and aspirations were shattered in the estern games Saturday, and the field of sectional championship claimants materially reduced, although there were few radical upsets. Prince ton and Washington and Jefferson were defeated by stronger elevens, leaving Cornell, Colgate and Pittsburg chief contenders for premier honors of the east. Other college teams, formerly factors in the struggle for football glory, failed to show any eleventh hour improvement.
 Chief intrest centered in the liar yard Princeton contest and the fact that the Crimson won cannot be counted a sensation, since it was generally con- ceded that the elevens were evenly matched. It was more in the manner of the winning rather than in the final result that the surprise developed. Har1 ward won because it played better football, both from an individual and team standpoint Harvard's eleven is far from being the smooth, powerful machine that carried the Crimson to NiStoiy III l9i4' but OH oalufudy it Was superior to the Nassau combination. There was a marked improvement in the Tiger play, however, as compared to their game of year ago and plenty of evidence that Speedy" Rush will lift Princeton football to a high plane if given time to lay more than the foundation for a winning system.
 Against the better drilled and more versatile Harvard squad the Orange and Black showed flashes of the highest type of modern football but lacked the sustained power to carry the ball across the Crimson line. and had it not been for Tibbott's clever drop kicking Princeton would not have scored
 Harvards offense was on a par with her defense. and while Captain Mahan was winning asset with his kicking and running ability, it was the liar
