Seven Teams Of Dixie Yet
 To Be Beaten

Atlanta, November 7.-An open game with spectacular aerial attacks and frequent bunting marked many of the 25 or more games on southern grid irons, in which the feature con- tests were Alabama's IA to ' victory over Vanderbilt and the !scoreless tie played by Georgia and Virginia.
 With hardly an exception, the games in which teams of equal reputation took part were marked by powerful defense against line plunges and end runs, al- though the big teams that were arrayed against less conspicuous elevens took oc- casion to run up big scores. North Caro- lima State took the lead at this by de- feating William and Mary, S1 to O.
 Alabama, in registering it's first victory over Vanderbilt, relied largely on straight fookball, and Virginia Military institute found that sufficient to defeat North Car  brought into play an aerial attack against lDepauw. Georgia and Virginia tried many attacks in the air, but could not make them gain. The Virginians proved adept at intercepting passes. Furman and DaV- idson were enabled to pile up good scores by brilliant use of the aerial attack
 SEVEN TEAMS UNBEATEN
 The seven big southern teams which en- tered Saturdays contests without hav- ing been defeated by another Dixie eleven kept their states clean, but one record is due to next week, barring tie, when Tulane and Mississippi A. X M. meet Tn New Orleans, and the following Satur- day and Thanksgiving Day will find sev- erai others gone. Other teams yet to be defeated by s. I. A. A. elevens are Ala bama, Georgia university, Georgia Tech " M. I. Washington and Lee and Aia- bama meet southern teams next Satur- day that may prove their undolng. me Generals take on Auburn and Alabama plays Louisiana State. F7oridas record Saturday against Tulane promises Geor- gia a hard game, while Georgia Tech meets Georgetown of Washington with a desperate fight ahead if the Tech team is to repeat it's victory of last year, when the two teams first met on the grid iron.
 Most of Saturdays games found the leading teams arrayed against eleVens which have not made outstanding records this season, for Georgia Tech used US second-string men to defeat Clemson, ana Auburn played it's regulars only part oi the time against Birmingham-Souther Tulane found hard fighting opponent in Florida, which seems to give promise os developing into an opponent worthy of the best Dixie elevens.
 GENERALS LOSE OUT
 Washington and Lee, playing West Vir- ginia, lost out in the final period after outplaying the Mountaineers, but Missis- sppi A. & NJ. kept up it's record by trouncing the University of Mississippi
 Tennessee had an easy time against Pennsylvania. as did Sewanee against the University of Chattanooga and Virginia Polytechnic institute in its game with Richmond college, while Kentucky State turned back the invading Cincinnati uni versity eleven with to victory. Prob ably the most desperate struggles of tho day, however. were those put up by the Vanderbilt team against Alabama, which ended in the Commodores holding the Crimson eleven to a If to victory, and the battle in which Virginia and Georgia proved to each other that each had an iimpregnable defense against the other attacks.
