 Gloomy OUer Vandy Game

Sewanee. Tenn, November 21.--(Spe- cial. )---vanderbilt and Sewanee, accord ing to some ancient records that have been dug up, have met some 31 times on the glidiron in past years. Of these 31 games, the record is all too clear that the Commodores had copped 21. while the Sawanee Tiger has had to be content with seven victories and three tie games. That does not look so very good in bold type. But the games looked good when they were played, and as they are played over by some Purple ancients, they still look far from bad. Those games were always worth going miles to see. There was never an uninterestir.g minute from the kick off to the last whistle. which was generally blown as darkness was fall- ing, for the Tiger never gave up. nor. did the Commodore.
 MANDY WINS THREE STRAIGHT
 The last game won by Sewanee was in 1914. when the score finally chalked up was: Sewanee 14, Vandy 13. In that game Vanderbilt by dint of some mar vicious forward passing, put across two touchdowns in the last half, but failed by the narrow margin of one goal to tie the score It was Sewanee.s game any, way. and the Tigers deserved to win.
 The 1916 game was Q hot-shot one, resulting in a 0-to-0 tie, with the SUI periority belonging to the Tigers. Even the vandy coach admitted that the Commodore was lucky that day.
 The past three years the Commodore. has with unfailing regularity kept the bacon at home, and Tiger meat has been a regular Thanksgiving dish in Nashville. Last years game was a rip shorter from start to finish. and it
 really looked like the Tiger might come through with the big end of the score. But always something happened at the wrong minute, and the Tiger machinery got out of working order when a touchdown was needed.
 What will be the result this year? That is the big question Some time ago it looked like the Tigers had a glorious chance to Troll old Vandy in the dust" Gas the refrain of certain song goes). Now. It looks like the Commodore will again twist the Iii gers tail" When Vandy beat Kentucky 20 to O. which team Sewanee onlyStied things began to look little blue for the Purple, When vandy held Alabama to . 14-to-1 score. which team beat se- vance 21 to 0. things took on a decid- edly darker hue. But when Tennessee spoiled all the fun by trouncingv the Tiger 30 to 0, after Vandy had beaten Tennessee 20 to Q, things became of a darkness impenetrable. It looks like Vandy's game by from 30 to 10 to O..
 BAD WEATHER
 On top of all of this decidedly dark side of life, the weather the past week exhibited all kinds of freaks, There was rain, sleet snow, and lastly. real warm sunshine. The condition of the. field has varied from frozen turf to slushy mud. The players have had to learn to Skate with the ball and to slide through the mud, as we'll as to run now and tben when possible.
 The secrecy surrounding the daily prile- tice was lifted for a short time FridaH afternoon. and a few spectators given an opportunity to see how the Tigers had improved since the Tennessee game. Nobody could find the improvement The scrimmage was q fierce one. almost Il farcical one. The tacklinS, such as Il was. was on the bum without a douot. Maybe the slippery field got on thf nerves tand hands) of the taclSlers. Any way, there was little tackling such as should be seen toward the end of the season. Maybe it was, just an off day. Something was the matter.
 The few days remaining will be devoted as far as possible to perfecting whatever needs perfecting. and If the Tigers ge' over the poor showing made in the scrini- mage Friday then maybe Nandy wlu be calling for help before the end of the second half on Turkey Day. Any way we look at it, all the dope favors Vandy But when we really begin to think Sc riously of the game, the conclusion Is reached that no matter what the dop- shows, the game between these ancien' rivals will be hummer. The Nses plays his best same on Thanksgiyina Day and is perfectly at home on Dud- lev field having iourneyed there veal 4l.i ,,,naIol aSsif.
