Alabamians outranked the Commodore
eleven In the first period, SO yards
through the line and off-tackle were
gained, and 10 around the ends In the
second quarter, line plays netted 40, and
runs around the flanks afforded 6. Au-
burn ran at top speed in the third. when
70 yards were made through the line and
around the ends. In the final period
the slump came. Auburn pierced the line
for 9 yards and made around the ends
Vanderbilt, the winner, could not rush
as did the Plainsmen. By virtue of
Curry's sweeping end run for As yards in
the opening period, Vanderbilt gained
81 yards around the Auburn ends. Three

the fourth, represented the flank adj

A COSTLY TUMBLE

While the tumble did not directly lead
to touchdowns by the Commodores, an
other belated bobble did. 1t was in the
first period Prendergast dropped back
for punt. Standing on the 15-yard line,
the Auburn mainstay received the pass
from Robinson and delayed an instant.
This delay proved fatal, for, as he drew
back his nimble. toe and drove it against
the pigskin, Josh Cody broke through
the protecting Auburn backs and
blocked the punt. The Commodore
picked up the ball and spurted toward
the goal line, conveyed by four Wander
bilt forwards, and scored the first
touchdown.
These setbacks downed Auburn. for in
other departments the Alabamians led.
Auburn made II first downs, while Van
derbilt scored 8.
The conquerers registered during the
first period and l in the second. In the
third, first down were gained once. Four

Marshalling the record of line plung-
ing, end running and punting, Auburn
has the advantage over Vanderbilt. But
on clinging to the oval, achieving sue
cess with the forward pass and blocking
kicks, the Commodores proved them
selves more adept and thereby hangs
the tale of the 2O-9 triumph.
The mishaps of the Plainsmen were
disastrous. Prendergast and Hairston
could not hold within their clutches
punts and kickoffs that the cleated feet
of Zerfoss and Cody hoisted into the
blue. Five times fumbles checked the
advances that Auburn might have made.
Vanderbilt bobbled but one time less,
but the gods were with the Gold ana
Black
FIVE FUMBLES
Prendergast fumbled three times and
Hairston twice. Russell Cohen, the
Vanderbilt end, recovered the first fun
BILE of Prendergast and enabled Vandy
to force Auburn back toward her goal
line, for Zerfoss had punted out to the
80 yard line where the halfback of the
Plainsmen fumbled. In the second pc
riod, he allowed the ball to escape his
grasp again, but recovered in time to
save himself. Hairston, who alternated
at safety with Prendergast in the last
half, fumbled once in each quarter,
and it was Williams who recovered both
errors. Williams fell on the straying
oval in the third quarter and gave Van
derbilt the ball on the 30-yard line. In
the final period, the Commodores
checked Auburn on the 25-yard line.
Robinson, the Auburn center, saved
Prendergast in the fourth period. Prem
dergast reeled off 15-yard advance off
right tackle, but fumbled when he
stopped A lively scramble for the ball
followed. but Robinson retrieved It, and
saved the loss.
Vanderbilt wooed favor from the gods
Zerfoss fumbled in the second period
nearly 20 yards from the Auburn goal
line, but happily picked up the ball be-
fore the speeding Auburn forwards ar
rived. In the third quarter, Curry fun
bled Prendergast's lofty punt, but Rich
ardson hurled his bulk over the ball
before a Plainsman could recover. In
the final period, Dough Ray lost the
oval but fell upon it later. Price,
tackled heavily during the fourth quar-
ter, surrendered his hold on the pig
skin, but Ray, his mate. grabbed it be-
fore Auburn could profit from the mis-
hap.

WAR RISK RATES STILL RISE.
Reach Highest Point since 1.ast
Sammcr's scare.

German submarine activity and the
frequency Of ship disasters due to float
ing mines placed transatlantic war risk
rates during the last week on the high
est level reached since the extended
German submarine campaign Of last
summer. London underwriters agreed
OF, a schedule OF rates at the beginning
OF tire week. and although they were
higher than any which had been quoted
there regularly since the sinking OF the
writers. they have been maintained
steadily. These provide a schedule OF
. per cent. to ports on the west coast OF
England, 81. u . per cent. to London
and east coast ports and > per cent. TO
tr~1nschannel ports.
The American market has been gradu-
ally rising all week toward London and
has AT present reached rates Of about
~ per cent. for west coast ports and .
per cent. or more 10 London and east
coast ports. II Is expected by local
underwriters that the rise will continue
even more. Al least. they say. accord

will remain steady for some time to
come.
There IL little opportunity. they point
for a general slackening when the
English dispatches show two ar three
ships lost about the British Isles every

Rates to the southern part OF the

testimony by citizens Of the United states
TO show that a German torpedo damaged
the ship.
Tit importance Of this late evidence
has greatly decreased, IL Is explained,
because the United States had "A com

and because Germany's note is taken as
a practical admission that a German
submarine was responsible.
Secretary Lansing, II Is understood. Is
not interested in the sketches which the
submarine commander is reported to have
made of the unknown steamer he tor
p,doed. Ambassador Gerard has in
formed him that the German Govern

offset the direct and circumstantial evil

power to charm. Doubtless much Of its
n~alvete. especially in the Instrumental
descriptions. can only cause a smile to
hearers accustomed to the extraordinary
and soul searching methods Of contem-
porary realists. Yet even these concep-
lions OF Haydn became the models for
hundreds Of future composers. and in
such delineations as that of the sea the
latest writer's have advanced only In the
direction OF doing the same thing on a
larger scale.
And what must the thoughtfui OBJ
