Only one serious injury was report
ed to mar the days sport, Right Guard
Dexter Hovater, of Alabama, having
his leg broken in the game between
Alabama and Mississippi colleges.
There were numerous instances of
stellar performances by individual players,
including an S0-yard run by Captain An
derson of Mississippi college; the feat
of Captain Ensign of Maryville college,

Sewanee team for touchdown; two goals
from placement by Fullback Schwill of
Mississippi A. and NJ and Cody's drop
kick and Captain Currys 65-yard run, for
a touchdown in the Notwithstanding
State game.
TAR HEELS DID WELL
The intersectional invasion by southern
teams, which was not altogether sue
cessful, was not disappointing. North
Carolina played Harvard to a standstill
throughout most of the game, the Tar
Heels showing they had developed
strong line by holding the Crimson for
downs on their vineyard line, and losing
only q to 0; Louisiana State recorded

Virginia 20 to 0.

would have had at least one touchdown.

Vanderbilt, without doubt, demon
strated the driving power of the COM
modore machine against the strong Ken
lucky State eleven The size of the score
the Commodores ran up against the Lex

nents scoreless, was taken as an indlca-
ton that the Nashvillians are little II
any weaker than last season.
AGGIES SURPRISED
The SO to 0 score Mississippi A. and
M. rolled up against Chattanooga was
distinct surprise The Tennesseans were
reputed to have a heavy, fast team and
a close verdict was expected. Chatta-
nooga suffered a serious loss early IN
the game when Fullback Squibb ana
Right Halfback Doak were injured. Full
back Schwin for Mississippi was the in
dividual star with several long runs and
two placement kicks. one from the 80
ward and the other from the 40-yard line.

ing its two touchdowns after being held
scoreless for three periods
Georgia, although winning Il to 0 from
Florida, was forced to extend itself The
Alligators were making their initial eff
fort of the season and showed a good
offensive, which was spoiled to some ex-
tent by fumbles. Georgia, while show
ing more power than in previous games,
could not score until the second half,
when Left Halfback ]. Reynolds and
Right Guard Mcconnell, both of whom
have been out with dislocated shoulders,
got into the game. Donnelly, whose left
hand is in a plaster cast went into the
game at right half toward the end of the
contest.
Auburn's score of 80 to against Mercer
was one of the largest ever made by a
Donahue eleven The Plainsmen ran
through and around the Georgia colleg-
ians almost at will, Jones and Donahue,
the Auburn halves. frequently making
| long runs.
CRIMSON PLAY RAGGED
| Alabama played ragged football against
Mississippi college and narrowly escaped
defeat. Mississppfs score resulted from
an S0-yard run by Anderson, while Quar-
| terback Green, by brilliant run, scored
| the winning touchdown for Alabama.
Sewanees showing in winning from
Maryville 6S to Z, according to critics,
indicated much Improvement.
