COMM0DORES READY ID BATTLE HOWARD. Coach McGugin Has Drilled His Men Hard for the
 Past Week

Nashville, October 6-(Special )--When the whistle blows for the game with Howard college on Dudley field Satur- will be ready. During the past week the hard workouts and drills in receiving punts, forward passing, blocking and charging have continued, and the Van derbilt players are in fine shape. All this preparation has been for the most part for the game with Georgia Tech next Saturday week, as it is not thought that the Commodores will have to ex- ert themselves to any great extent in the game Saturday.
 The announcement that game has been secured with the Auburn eleven on Dudley field for November IT was the cause of no little jubilation among foot ball followers here.
 The willingness of the Commodore ma chine to meet such formidable foes with a team that it is admittedly not up to the standards of other years, stamps them as one of the gamest and most fearless teams that ever wore the Gold and Black. Their willingness to undergo punishment has been the source of much favorable comment and no matter how badly they may be beaten the gallant Commodores will fight to the last ditch One must admire their nerve If not their judgment.
 Following the game with Howard col lege work will again be started Monday for preparing to meet the onslaught or the Georgia Tach eleven, whose play so far has caused them to loom up as the most formidable machine in the entire United States. The coaches will make great effort to develop an adequate de- fense against the Yellow Jackets, how- ever, and 1t is probable that the game will be something more than a signal practice for Tech.

 The decision of the Vanderbilt ath- letic authorities to cancel the date be- tween the Commodores and Carlisle, No- vember 20. was followed by the announce ment this week of game arranged with Auburn, November 17, at Nashville. For many seasons the Vanderbilt contest has been regarded as one of the conspicuous events in southern football
 STRENGTHEN SCHEDULES
 Resumption of relations is viewed by many football enthusiasts as a most fa- vorable addition to the schedule this season, which has been weakened because of the abandonment of the games this year at Virginia, North Carolina, Geor- gia and Tennessee.

 Although we are not in the best of condition, I believe a victory will he recorded tomorrow, said Coach Mike Donahue last night. Robinson is not in the best of condition, but will play. The same is the case with several linesmen. but all will be in the line up when the referees whistle starts the contest"
 "The team is in perfect trim and are confident of recording a victory over Auburn was the sentiment ex- pressed by Head Coach Chadwick of the Aggies. Last year we gave Au- burn one of the worst scares of the season and we expect to accomplish even more tomorrow
 "Our team was greatly weakened by the loss of several star men on ac- count of the one year rule, but at that 1 feel sure the boys will give an ex- cellent account of themselves"
 BETTING IS LIGHT
 Betting on the game last night was very light. The fact that Auburn will win is not questioned, but the varied opinion of the probable score is caus. ing much comment. odds on the Plainsmen winning could be secured at to 3. while even bets were of. fered that victory would be re- corded by at least 10 points.
 Coaches Donahue and Chadwick an nounced their probable lineup for the game today as follows:
 Auburn-Decute, left end: Caton, left tackle Sanford, left guard; Rogers, center; Warren, right guard Bonner, right tackle; Styles.- right end; Rob- inson, captain, quarterback Donahue. left halfbaek; Creel, right halfback; Revington. fullback.

PREPARED FOR KENTUCKY T|[I Coach Best Has Men in Fine Trim for the Con-
 test Today

Sewanee, October 2e.-(Special )-With only one day intervening before the game with the strong Kentucky State eleven, Coach Best put his men through this afternoon strenuous scrimmage. His working has placed them at top speed to perfect strong defense. The offense seems to be running smoothly. as they seem to have learned a great deal in the game with Louisiana State university. To make up for lack of heavy backs, Bests method of shifting heavy linemen to the fullback position Is proving very successful. Skidmore, who weighs only 2i2 pounds, gained as well on the hefty scrubs as against the fast team of the Sewanee Military academy. who came down later in the afternoon for short quarters scrimmage.
