VANDY OFFICIALS
ANXIOUS FOR GAME
WITH AUBURN HERE
Commodore Chieftains Will
ling to Meet Plainsmen in
a POst-Season Game
Here December 6
by j. L.. RAY

Nashville, November A.
(Special.) - Vanderbilt offii-
Gals have expressed them
selves as being thoroughly in
accord with the proposed post
season game between the Com
modores and Auburn.
Tentative plans are being formed to
bring together the two elevens after
the southern grid season formally
closes, the contest to be staged in
Birmingham. Unusual interest at
taches to the proposal, which should
bring out a record crowd from Bir-
mingham and surrounding towns, as
well as a large delegation from Nash
vile to witness the battle.
Coach Donahue believes that his team
is a better outfit than that of the Com
modores. and that the victory of two
weeks ago. when the Plainsmen lost
by a lone point in one of the most thrill
ing contests ever staged in the south,
will be fully atoned should the two be
brought together on Alabama soil AL
though the final outcome would not be
entered in the official records. it is
reasonable to believe that the Plains
men would feel just as well satished
with a post-season victory as they
would had the contest counted in on
the regular schedule.
On the other hand. Coach Dan Nc
Gugin believes that the Commodore at
tack. which has been handicapped thus
far through lack of practice and inclem-
ent weather, is just coming into its own,
and will furnish a lively tussel Tor any
mans team. He is of the opinion that
the post season affair should prove a
means of bringing out even more forcl-
bly, the superiority of the Commodores
over the Alabamians.
The announcement that such game
was in the mind proved a source OF
gossip among the college fraternity
and large numbers of Vanderbilt root
ers have expressed their intention OF
going down to help cheer the Cold and
Black to victory Just what date the
game would be staged is not known
but it is probable that it would follow
as early after Thanksgiving as possible
Ry setting this time for the fray the
football interest would be upheld, while
an early December date would also miss
the cold weather period.
Vanderbilt supporters who witnessed
the struggle between the Donahue ant
the McGugin aggregations on Dudley
field this year will long remember nov
the two elevens battled with the FURY
! of madmen for the verdict That
| final quarter in which the Auburn team
! came within few feet of the Vand1
| goal line, only to be turned back AZ
victory seemed assured, will live II
| football history long after the presen
teams have been demobilized. The mem
DRY of that last game Will furnish
| fighting spirit which should guarantee
a rivalry unequaled on the American
| grid this season.

SYRACUSE DEFEATS
THE RUTGERS TEAM
Orange Eleven Entirely Too
Strong for Opponents.
Forward Pass Scores

New York, November 4-Syracuse uni
versity defeated Rutgers college in their
annual football game here this AFTERNOON,
IA to 0. The Orange eleven proved entirely
too strong, both extensively and defer sely
for the New Jersey combination and the
Syracuse goal line was never in DANCE:
except on one occasion when Baker, the
Rutgers quarterback, intercepted for
ward pass and sprinted into a clear (ield
only to be brought 20 ground by Ackley
who overlook him after long run.
Play during the first two periods was
confined almost entirely between the two
25-yard lines, both teams holding well
against the ordinary line rushes and emo
runs. In the third period Syracuse UNI
covered puzzling overhead attack which
ard college that any further acts of such
a vandalistic nature as recently perpe-
trated by a very small nart of the student
body of rmingham-Southern college
should produce . rupture in the athletic
relations between the Two institutions"
of Birmingham Southern college, and
all athletic relations te+ween the two col
leges vii be broken Il the action ot a
few students continues in any suci, way
as in the last few days.
'It is bad to have the friendly rivairies
of q ajority of the students cut off on
account of the scauda lous actions of a
few vandals, but such is the case. I am
certainly sorry that such things have
occurred and think that apology is
due the Howard students.

OF few of the Biriningham-Southe
students at Howard college several nights
ago, and have tried 20 discourage any
body" said John =. Bradford, president
of the student body of Birmingham
Southern. "Since this act has ben com
mitted, we feel we are due the Howard
students an apology
DR.. C. c. Daniel. president of the Biz
mingham-Southern college, issued the
following statement:
IT have often said that I was in favor
of keen rivalry between two institutions
but at all times friendly rivalry. The two
institutions, Howard college and Birning-
ham-Southern college, are two Christian
colleges standing for the same thing, the
highest thing, and thar the action of the
student body yesterday at noon was high
ly pleasing to me- am particularly
pleased that the initiative in such action
came from the entire body, both college
and high school. The action of few
students in a thoughtlass moment is not
at all in accord with The feelings of the
student body itself OF Birmingham
Southern college"
The members of the football squad, as
well as Coach Charlie Brown. have shown
their disapproval of the action taken ir
the Howard campus.
Il fully agree with the statement b.
Coach Dillon and other officials OF How.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-11-05

The action was taken on the initia-
tive of the student bory itself, when it
was learned that the above acts had
been committed. The resolution, when
put to a vote of the body, was passed
unanimously, showing that the student
body itself was not behind such ac-
lions and did not countenance and sup
port what had been done.
The resolutions speak for themselves
and are as follows:
Howard College and Birmingham
Southern college have won, and have
for more than so years held. in Ala
bama and in the south, an honora BILE
position in the field of education
These two colleges compose two-thirds
OF the membership of the Alabama AS
ISOLATION of Colleges. The rivalry be-
tween these two institutions is keen
and we as students are glad that such
is the case. and we hope that for some
time such will continue, feeling assured
as we do that such rivalry is for the
benefit of each institution and its stu
dent body.
Edch or THESE institutions is estab-
Hshed and maintained for the purpose
OF the development of educated Chris
tan citizens. They stand for Christian
principle and practice.
whereas, the above is true and,
whereas, many of US through the in
fluence of the group spirit participate
by word and sometime by action. in
things contrary to the principles for
winch we stand, and, whereas we as
individuals, apart from groups would

WITH INDIANS Is YEARS

Terry Turner held a job With INC
Cleveland Indians for is years-and IS
still in the majors as member Of the
tribe of Connie Mack. Turner stood out
for more than 10 seasons as one of the
greatest of players-and certainly as one
of the most valuable. But Turner hit be-
yond 200 only in 1912, when he crashed
into the horeshide for sos. The New YORK
Yankees gave a bundle of cash and Some
PLAYERS for Derrill Pratt. who is supposed
to be quite hitter in addition to being
a spectacular fellow. Yet the records show
that Pratt's best batting mark was w.
established in 1872
Those are only a few instances to prove,
that after all is said and done. it ism I

Cactus" Cravath as a swatsmth. Those
who have not studied mis- record get the
impression that Cravath has consistently
smashed the ball Tor marks well beyond
800. But the real truth is that only once
with the exception of 1919-has Cravath
hit beyond 800. In all the other years
he has ranged between .16l and POS.
Joe Tinker was one Of the greatest play-
ers that ever stepped onto ball field
and certainly one of the most valuable
But Tinker fell something like so nntches
short of averaging around 300. He hit
above 800 during only one season. Ream5
have been written concerning the great
ness of Tommy Leach, who endured IN
the major league for nearly two decades
Folks recall Leach as great hitter, yet
Leach was able to 60 beyond the 800 only
once.
Then there is Fred Merkel. Whenever
his name is pronounced someone touts
him as a truly great batsman But in II
years of big league training, Merke' hit
better than 800 on only one occasion-in
1872 when he batted 500 Few outhe'ders
ever have achieved greater fame than
Harry Hooper of the Red Sox-and few
have ranked as more valuable. Only once
and that was in 1oi1-did Hooper bat
better than 800.
