Nashville, Tenn, October 2. (Special) Vanderbilt opened its intercollegiate season today by running rough-shod over Birmingham2Southern College for a 54 to 0 victory, three sets of backs running at random through the first half for forty seven counters against the Partners.
 In the last half of the game, Me Gugin put the Commodores on the de- fense and uncovered a passing game. only one touchdown being scored in the last half Within the first two minutes of play Vanderbilt rushed over two touchdowns.
 Vanderbilt won the toss and chose to kick to the Partners. Brinskelle re- turning the kick for twenty yards Two attempts around the ends failed to gain and Lewis punted to Berryhill who re- turned forty yards to the Panthers' twenty-yard line. Latham collected fif- teen around right end and Wade plunged over the first counter.
 Birmingham elected to kick and on the first play Berryhill drove off tackle for brilliant eighty-yard run for the second touchdown in as mary minutes of play. The Panthers made their only first down of the first half when Nixon fumbled on Birmingham s one-yard line. Panther falling on the ball Lewis attempted to kick out from under tire goal posts but the pass was bad and he was forced to run, gaining twenty yards and first down around the left flank. Latham and Berryhll retired in favor of Bell and Kuhn. Nixon reeled of ten yards and Kuhn twelve Wade plowed through for three yards and first down.

 Following the Kick off Creson pulled a fake punt and carried the hall fifty yards around left end to the Panthers' three-yard line from which point of vantage Thomas plunged over for the final counter of the period.
 Minus the services of Propst and Evans the Panthers rallied in the third period and held the Commodores scoreless. Coach McGugin placed hia eleven chiefly in the defense in this period. but the Panther bucks were rnahle to pierce the line for consistent gains, making first down only three times during the latter half.

VANDY UNCOyERS A
 GOOD. STEADY DEFENSE

Vanderbilt uncovered good steady offense in the first half and formed interference rapidly with good solid walls for the fast backs on the end runs Latham and Berryhill both showed good form before retiring early in the first half.
 Of the newcomers in tine back field Nixon probably showed the best, with Doe" Kuhn running close second In the half back role Doe carried the ball over three times for touchdowns and played a steady game all the way through. The Commo modore line still failed to show its expected form and charged high and uncertain all through the game However open field block ing by the Vandy forwards and backs was commendable, especially on the long runs when solid interference car ried the runner for long gains before being stopped.
 Despite the loss of three first string men. the Panthers played hard ball and in the last half repeatedly showed signs of life by downing the Vandy backs for nice losses and holding for downs three times. Capt. Lewis and Miller both played good ball in the backfield Lewis bunting was rather streaked both good and bad. because of the in- ability of the Panther forwards to hold the line Summary;
