Every University, College and Prep School Well Represented

Southern gridirons arr on the threshold Of the greatest season in
the history Of the pigskin pastime.
With thousands of Yanks having returned from overseas after
having done their bit in forever removing the fangs from the skulking
Hun, Dixie gridirons are fairly alive with the finest lot Of material that
has ever before been in evidence. Football is on a boom that it has
never known before, and the most prosperous year that the game has
known is in the offng
Practically every college, university and prep school in Dixie will
be represented on the grdron this season. Last year there were only
a few institutions that put out football elevens on account OF the fact
that the majority of their students we're either in the world war or
were in training for overseas service. But this season no such con-
diion exists, The war is over and the large majority Of the boys have
returned, They are again taking up their studies where they left off
and are going in for football with the same vim and yigor that char
aeteTized their campaign against the Hun.

VANDY SURPRISED.

Vanderbilt was given one Of the
rudeSt jolts Of its long career Satur-
day when the supposedly weak Univer-
sity of Tennessee team held the Nc.
Gugin machine to n 3-3 deadlock on
Dudley field. The Commodores had fig.
ured on romping on the Tennessee out
tit, but the eleven that faced Vandy
Saturday was quite different from the
decrepit bunch that had been pictured
by the Tennessee critics.
Josh Cody managed to get a field
goal, which was all that Vandy could
compile. Hatcher, Tennessee's ace. was
able TO tie the count in the last period
when he got a goal from placement.
Both teams played hard in an effort
TO score a touchdown, but were unable
TO penetrate the others defense.

good season, for holding Nandy SO

Swayne Latham and N, W, Sherman,
both OF Memphis and both quarter
backs, Latham started the game and
was relieved by sherman after futile
attempts to gain against the stonewall
defense offered by the Tennesseans.
Willis McCahe, Jim Bradford and
Hunter Lane were the Bluff Citians
who performed with the Orange and
White and who scintlllated on the Nash
Vile gridiron. This trio has added con-
siderable strength to the Bender lineup
and great things are expected OF them
before the season has been finished.
