The anti-Carranza faction of the de

varo Obregon and General Candido
Aguliar, respectively Ministers of War and
Foreign Affairs, Is debating every move
now made by Mexico. The American cam
paign in Mexico brought the long-smoul-
derlng enmity against Carranza to a
head
Carranza made no protest against the
entry of American soldiers into Mexico
and his foes took this opportunity to
solidfy the opposition. The demand for
the recall of the United States troops fol-
lowed.
Carranza was forced to leave Queretaro
and go TO Mexico City to save his life.
Instead of making n triumphal journey
from Queretaro to the capital, Carranza
was fleeing for his own safety. The in
ternational crisis developed in this man
ner:
Carranza sought TO have executed
Generals Lucio Blanco, Panfilo Ma
terra, Carrera Torres and two others
because of the fear that they would
be released from custody after being
arrested on charges of treason and
lead troops against him. The execu-
tion order he issued was rejected by
the commander of the Queretaro gar
rison.
Carranza then ordered the mutlnous
commander punished, but soldiers and
citizens in Queretaro protested vlo-
lently and threatened to revolt IL the

Vdndy Has Good Chance
to Score Win Over Virginia

Nashville, October 9.-(Special) 1.-The
showing of the Vanderbilt team last Sat
urday in Lexington, when Kentucky
state, in game that was looked forward
to with considerable misgivings, was
crushed by a score of 45 to 0, was very
encouraging to local supporters, and
leaves Vanderbilt with a fine chance
against Virginia when that team plays
here on October 49, In the present Sc
ries of acknowledgements games, which
was considered the hardest on the local
schedule, Vanderbilt has won only one
game, the first, and has lost the last
three games by decisive scores. There
is no doubt that McGugin has a great
wealth of fine material on hand now,
however, and it may be that the lean
years for Vanderbilt are past.
In Saturdays game there was a degree
of teamwork astonishing to critics who
had been severe in their reviews of the
ragged play of the team in the first two
games Aside from brilliant running by
Captain Curry, who starred as usual, the
