BATTLE IN THE STANDS.

The feature Of the Thursday affair at

stands between several husky gentle

The fight started as the result Of an
argument over the two teams in ac-

OF the gentlemen in Question let fly a
fist that completely closed the eye of
his adversary. Then business picked
up, Men from all over the stands
rushed to get in the melee and fists
were flying. noses were bleeding and
a general battle was in full swing.

GOLDEN TORNADO
LOSES TO AUBURN
Southern Champions De-
throned by Great Attack
of Plainsmen.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2S.-Georgla
Techs Golden Tornado was defeated
by the Auburn football team in their
annual clash here yesterday IA to Z.
The Georgians made their touchdown in
the first period of the game but the
Plainsmen anne back with two touch
downs and a safety. piling up the largest
score made against Tech by any South
ern team this season.
The heavy, hard-charging, fierce-tack-
ling Plainsmen won the game by fight
ing every minute n by taking ad-
vantage of the breaks when they came.
Tech, on the other hand, fmnbled too
frequently and seemed in other ways
over anxious, although the team had
gone into he game with heavy odds
in its favor.
The annual classic started out like
a walkover for Tech for the old ''Tor-
nado' was there at the start and the
Jackets touchdown was earned in the
first six minutes of play. But the
greatest crowd of the season saw the
Plainsmen rally and fight one of the
gamest uphill contests ever seen on any
gridiron, Despite the fact that on play
from the scrimmage Tech gained nearly
Tour times as much ground and that
Tech made something like IA first
downs to n or W for Auburn, the
Plainsmen were not to be denied and
they always rallied after the first time
and prevented the touchdown.
The first Auburn score came In the
second period on a safety apparently
mad deliberately by Harlan, of Tech,
from his one yard line, in order to
bring the ball out to the 20-yard line.
There the tide turned in earnest, for
in the third period Techs march was
stopped by a tumble and by the hard
charging Auburn line in which Captain

Sloan, who like all his team mates, had

Bonner missed the goal, but the score
was Auburn s, Tech Z.

fighting hard and began vainiy to try

ing had been all in favor Of Auburn

~ UE TO THE GREATEST FLOCK of upsets in the history of
Southern football, the browning of the champions of Sun
land has been indefinitely postponed until some wise man
from the East shall come down and straighten out the pres
emit tangle. As a matter of fact, there are four teams that
have claims on the Southern championship, and there is
hardy a chance that any one team in the S. l. A. A. territory will be
picked out above the field as the premier eleven of the South.
Georgia Tech, former undsputed champions for a term Of several
seasons, was dethroned by the Auburn Plainsmen in a great 147 battle
m Auanta Thursday. This victory for the Plainsmen completely scram-
9ied the proposition of the championship, for had Tech won the Golden
tornado would have had undBputed claim on the title. Here's the way
things now stand:
Georgia Tech beat Vanderbilt and the Commodores in turn beat
auburn. Auburn beat Georgia Tech. Alabama lost but one game
gandy trimming the Thin Red Line. Auburn also beat the Mississippi
so each Southern eleven that had any claims at all on the Dixie
gIld ute has lost one game, which makes it a draw between Georgia
Tech, Vanderbilt, Auburn and Alabama.

noon. and finally came 70 a halt with

The details are few and far between,
