Tigers Ready For Battle
 With Vandy
By CHARLIE UNDERWOOD

Sewanee, Tenn, November "A. - Especially = Twenty three brawny Tigers are primed for the Commodore contest tomorrow. Twenty three, long recognized as a skidoo number, it is hoped, will be able to produce the punch, the defense and the scoring ability to spell skidoo for Vandy.
 Others will be taken along on the trip, and possibly others may get into the game before night closes down on Dudley fieid but on the 23 men will fall the bruht of beating back the Commodores and carrying the Purple to victory, if the gods are good
 The coach has not given out a lineup, and is not very communicative on the subject of the game The famous oyster has nothing on the coach and the cap tain If they open up before Thursday afternoon it will be only to blow --f a little steam. However, a good guess can be made as to the lineup that will face Vandy when the first whistle blows. so here goes:
 SEWERS AT CENTER
 Center will undoubtedly pc held down by Stiyers, the Texas freshman. who has shown some real stuff this season. he has slowed up somewhat during the last few weeks. In this last game of the season he ought to be at his best, His relief man will be Lawrie tb.. Memphis star of last years prep circles These two fellows weigh around TO
 Satterlee and Stoney, two old heads at the game. will flank Stivers on either

half. and very likely Harper will take the other Coughlan is playing his third year as a Tiger and Harper his fourth, although under the $. l. A. A. rule dis regarding the S. A. T. C. year Harper has another year to play. He graduates this coming June, however, and the Van derbilt game will be his last in these parts. He is as much at home at the half position as at quarter, and is needed on the team as on him will fall the brunt of the bunting. The duel between this left toe artist and Vandys two aces will be a good one and the Purple fol- lowers are not willing to give the. palm to the Commodores in this department of the game.
 Long, another Memphis product, play ing his first year as Tiger regular, and Hamilton, a freshman from New Mexico, are the men who will be called on to relieve Coughlan and Harper if there is need. Harper and Coughlan are weighing around 159 pounds, while Long and Hamilton are some ten pounds lighter These latter have been showing some real ability for first year players, and will be heard from next year.
 AT FULLBACK
 On Kenneth Council will fall the honor of opening the game at the fullback position To take his place there Is Jim Smith, another Birmingham freshman, and Ben Payne, who comes from down Mississippi way. Smith has more pound age than the others. pulling the scales as high as 157. while Council boasts Of but IA pounds and Payne is down irl the lightweight class with 140. Council and Smith are good when it comes to ramming the line, and possibly more than one 'Vandy forward will be sick in the middle after a contact with. the hard headed Tiger fullbacks.
 Taken altogether, the Tiger team is not heavy one, and Vandy will prob ably outweigh the Purple clad boys, but If they outplay them 1t will be something that the Purple followers believe can not take place. The linemen first namef will average 175 pounds. and the back field 150. The general average of tn team is nothing marvellous. as can bc seen In age the Tigers will average somewhat less than 21 years. the young est player is r and the oldest ha reached the mature age of 2S Fourtee of those named are playing their frs year in college bali. four their second four their third and only one his fourt year.

Tech-Auburn Clash Heads
 Dixie Games

Atlanta, Ga, November 24. Of the four southern football teams that have come through the 1920 season without defeat by another Dixie eleven, Geor- gia Tech has the hardest con- test tomorrow in an effort to keep its record clean.
 The Auburn eleven which meets Tech fere has gone down to defeat but once this year. g to o game with Georgia University. but it's showing against Washington and Lee alone is sufficient t to guarantee hard game against Tech. In fact, with many the Plainsrnen rule favorites.
 Georgia University. Georgia Tech. ru- lane and Virginia Military Institute the first three members of the S. I. A. A., and the Virginians members of the South Atlantic conference, compose the elevens that have not been beaten in the south Georgia ard V. M. I. have not lost a. game. while Tech dropped it's contest to Pittsburg and Tulane was defeated by Michigan.
 Georgia takes on Clemson at Athens and the Georgians' defeat of Auburn and Alabama makes them easy favorites Tu- lane has harder fight in prospect against Louisiana State at Baton Rouge V. M l. iS expected to win handily from V. P. l. at Roanoke.
 Thanksgiving Day games bring to a close except for a few later contests, the most successful southern football season in years. if not the best ever known, find many annual contests slated in which there is more than statewide in- terest- Attendance records which accord ing to all reports have been eclipsed this season. may be broken again tomorrow, the game hero promising to bring out close to 3o.0oo spectators.

side. Their average weight is about 1S3 pounds. and Satterlee has had three years experience, while Stoney has played two seasons. Stoney's stcadiness will add con fidence to the iinesmen, while Satterlee can be counted on to take advantage of any commodore fumbles, Two freshmen, Shook and Benton. are the reserve guards. Weighing but 161. and somewhat new at the game in college circles, they have plenty of dash and spirit. and Benton, being a Nashville product, is expected to play his best game in his home town THE TACKLES
 The tackles to start the fray will prob- ably be Skidmore and Guerry. Skidmore lis well known on Dudley field. and it has been said in the past that he never really wakes up until he goes against the Commodore. Guerry was used last year at fulback, but he has been switched to the line, where he has been showing some good stuff He and Skid will aver age 190 pounds, which is a pretty good poundage for tackles to carry around. This is Skid's third year on the team and Guerry's second which ought 10 add scme more steadiness to the line. Their ur.derstudies are Elam and Litton Elam is playing his second year, while Litton is another freshman from Memphis, wl,o was a star in prep circles, and seems to have lost none of his ability in break
 ing up opposing plays. These latter two average but TO pounds.
 Conway and Harold Council, on the Hanks, bring the scales to only 15o, but Conway is playing his third year, and Council his second and again steadiness will be added to the team These men are fast and good receivers of passes, and are counted on to dash the hopes Of the Eandy backs should they undertake many cireling movements. Two freshmen are the other contenders for the flank honors-Miller of Chattanooga and Oakes from Texas. Both of these fellows are going good and they will undoubtedly get in the game before it is over. They average slightly more than Conway and Council but have not had the experi- ence of their older competitors.
 THREE GOOD QUARTERS
 For quarterback the coach has three good csloices-Harper. captain of last years team; Cook. a freshman from Bir- mingham, and Jimmie Baird, the light Nashville flyer who is laying the foun- dation for some brilliant playing in tho years to come. Our guess is that Baird
 will open the game
 Captain Coughlan will hold down one

The game today will probably be enc of the best and hardest fought of all the collegiate struggles staged in Bir- mingham this season.
 Both Alabama and A. and M. nave been defeated this year, but neither has lost its pep or it's punch, and the two should stage great battle today.
 Alabama was knocked out of the running for the southern title last Sa-- urday, when she lost one of the most feart-breaking games of the season to Georgia. A. and NJ. lost to Tulane, 6 to 0, which has been her only defeat at the hands of Dixie eleven this sea son.
