PLA|NSMEN WILL BE
 TOUGH FOE;; VANDY
 IN EXCELLENT TRIM
Coach McGugin Has Put Men Through Steady Gait for Annual Tilt With
 Auburn

Nashville, November 16.-(Special )-In- terest in the Vanderbilt-Auburn game is running high here and the town is pull ing strong for the Commodores to cop the engagement when the two deadly ri- vals line up alongside each other next Saturday afternoon oa Dudley field Coach McCugin is putting his team through their practice ut a tremendous rate of speed and from all indications they will be in prime condition for the fray No time is being lost by the Com, modore wizard in drilling his charges to meet the attack of the Plainsmen, who will be a tough foe for Vanderbilt.
 Although it is conceded by Vanderbilt supporters that Auburn has the edge on the Conlmodores in weight, and experi- ence, yet they figure that the fighting tiat is so evident in the Gold and Black machine will be sufficient to almost offset the advantages possessed by the Plains men. The Commodores are admitted to be one of the gamest aggregations that has ever performed on a Dixie gridiron and everywhere this fact has been recog- nized. Their capacity for taking punish ment is seemingly unlimited, and they are able to stand up under staggering blows It is this that has kept the team up this season
 The game is being given wide publici- ty in Nashville and surrounding country
 
 probability turn out to see the football classic. The games that have been play ed before on Dudley field this> season have been with teams of ordinary abil- ty and no team worthy of meeting the Commodores has yet performed before the fans here this fall. However, when Auburn comes up the followers of foot ball will be fully satisfied, for the tussle between the Commodores and Plainsmen promises to be one of the closest that has ever been played here. Although 1t is not the case as in former years that a championship depends upon the re- suit of the game, yet there is none the less interest in it. The teams are fairly well matched and the game must be fought for by the team that wins. Students are very much excited over the advent of the game big. mas: meeting of students of all department. will be held tonight in the chapel Sev. l eral prominent men will speak, and the I Auburn team will be present if they ar
 rive in the city by that time. Cheel practices have been held during the pas
 week and some real roofing will be heart l from the Vanderblters. With all thi
 to back them up the team is expected t, | show great form.

Georgia Tech Authorities Have Yet to Make Off, ficial Desire for
 Game


 Pittsburg, November 16.-University of Pittsburg athletic authorities have received no official proposal for foot ball game between the unbeaten eleven of Georgia Tech and the University of Pittsburg for the benefit of the Red Cross, it was announced today by K E. Davis, graduate manager of ath- letics at the local institution.
 "We know absolutely nothing about it officially said Manager Davis. "I do not know what will be done If definite proposition is received later, as it will be matter for the athletic council of the university to decide. Thus far we have received no com munication from either the athletic de- partment of Georgia Tech or the American Red Cross.'
 Prominent alumni here tonight ex- pressed themselves as opposed to game on November 24 With the south arn eleven, as it would put the Panth- CTS under the strain of playing three games in eight days, inasmuch as Penn States is to be met Thanksgiving day and the 312th regiment team from Camp Lee is to be played here De- cember l for a war fund.

VANDY AND AUBURN
 MEET IN ANNUAL
 STRUGGLE TODAY
Games of Importance Fea- ture South's Card-Tech Meets Strong Carlisle
 Indians

Atlanta, November 16.-Games of inn portance, including one inter-sectional meeting, are on the football card in the south tomorrow when many of the major elevens will play their final weekend contests of the season. Open dates Will prevail generally next Saturday, permit ting the majority of the elevens to rest in preparation foE their Thanksgiving Day games.
 Of the 20 odd engagements scheduled in all parts of the south tomorrow, the feature games appear to be the Wander bilt- Auburn meeting at Nashville; Georgia Tech and Carlisle, at Atlanta; Louisiana State and Mississippi A. x M. at Baton Rouge Washington and Lee and George town match at Roanoke, and Alabama and Kentucky State at Lexington
 Vanderbilts chances to win from Au- burn were strengthened last week when the Commodores downed the formidable Alabama eleven by a small score, Whlle the Plainsmen suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the DaVlo- son eleven According to records aere. Vanderbilt and Auburn have met on the gridiron F times, the Plainsmen having won three of these contests.
 In meeting Carlisle, the Jacket eleven, critics point out will face one Of it's strongest opponents of the season. The Indians record to date includes victories over Johns Hopkins, Franklin and Mar shall, and Albright, while they lost to the Navy, West Virginia and the Army, hold ing the latter team, which is considered to be one of the strongest in the east, to four touchdowns. The Tech coaches, it is said here, expect the customers to of- fer a far better brand of football than did the Pennsylvania eleven. when It played the Jackets here early in the sea- son.
 Louisiana States clash with Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical promises to be the most interesting of the contests in the far south tomorrow. The Aggies have lost one game to date, while the Tf- gers have been defeated twice and tied once. Should L. s. U. win, it's chances for victory over it's state rival, Tulane, on Thanksgiving, will be materially strengthened. The Olive and Blue are favored to win from Rice institute in New Orleans tomorrow
 With the exception of it's rout by Geor- gia Tech, Washington and Lee has won all of it's engagements to date by im- pressve scores and is the choice by many in the clash with Georgetown. Another game of promise in Virginia tomorrow is the North Carolina A. & M. and V. P. I. meeting at Norfolk.
 University of the South, it is thought, should not have much difficulty in down. ing Central university of Kentucky at Chattanooga. Clemson college and JTni- versity of Florida meet at Jacksonville in what is regarded as the feature con- test in the southeast. Other games on the southern schedule include the David son and Wake Forest meeting at Greens boro and South Carolina and Wofford college at Spartanburg.
