SEWANEE TIGERS
 REJUVENATED BY CRIMSON VICTORY
Mountaineers Feel Like Mon- 'archs of Old as They
 Review Game
By c. A. UNDERWOOD.

Sewanee, october 25-TireG, and many of them footsore and weary, the Tiger footballers and most of the rooters who accompanied them to Birmingham, where they defeated Alabama, 17 to 0, reached the noun tain Sunday afternoon and were met by the rest of sewanee, and the foot ball men were drawn up rom the station by the students in a carryall decorated in purple.
 It was a glorious victory for the Purple, for not since 1914 had the Tigers held the whip hano on the University of Alabama. The victory was all the more satisfactory because it was a clear-cut ones the Tiger team showing more superiority over the Crimson than the score would in dicate.
 Much Funabling
 Two touchdowns and field goal made up the IT points, when, as a matter of fact Sewanes should have had at least three and possibly four touchdowns. Fumbling at critical periods seemed to dog the footsteps of the Tigers. And no less than twice was the ball fumbled on the goal line when a touchdown seemed immin e1t. Some of the fumbling was caused by bad passes from Linton at center, who was suffering with severely injured hand, but who gamely played the entire 60 minutes and was in all most every play.
 Powers at quarterback was not at his best, due largely to lack of IVac- tice, owning to ah injury to his -oot. But this little Tiger quarter ran back Alabama's punts much better than Alabama did Sewanee's, gaining much ground for the Purple on the exchanges of punts. Sewanee< was better off in the kicking game than was Alabama, for while, Satterlee and Clements were about equal in punt ing, sewanee's returns of punts was better.
 CoughInn Was Star Bill Coughlan stood out from the other backs as 8 ground gainer, time and again ripping orr runs of fronf five to 30 yards through Alabama's line The work of Bauinan, the Shreveport freshman, at fullback was cause of much joy to the Pur pie followers. He hit the line low and hard. and frequently literally rolled back the Alabama linemea for many yards. He made theT first touchdown Sewanee has made against Alabama in several years. Powers giving him the ball to carry over the goal was an evidence of good gener7 alship on the part of the Sewanee quarter. for who would have. thought of letting freshman nake the core when eX-Captain Coughian was at hand
 Stars Line
 The outstanding men in the line were Captain Conway at end and Skidmore and R. Murray at the tackles Papa" Conway played his usual steady, hard consistent game, never letting up for a moment, and his sure tackling caused Alabama's s backs soon to stop attempting to run his end. His snagging or forward l passes was also beautiful to see, and many yards were gained by this route. The work of R. Murray was also first class. The way he got down under punts and stopped the Alabama backfield man Tn his tracks caused much admiration from friend and foe alike. His uncanny ability to recover fumbles saved many yards for the Tigers. He seemed to sense where the ball was, and never hesi- ! tated when there was a scramble. At times the Tiger team showed flashes of real form, but at others the hot weather seemed to get into | their bones and caused them to play in very ragged shape. An outstand- ing feature of the Tigers work was the fact that they never semed tc let up, but kept going all the time ] and were full of pep and ginger de spite the midsummer heat which de- i .l as, the Tigers left the almost freezing atmosphere of the mountain height
 Meet Kentucky Next
 The Alabama game was a real tes for Sewanee, and the fact that the team, with only few minor in juries, came through in good shape gives the Tigers added confidence fo the game Saturday against Ken lucky.
 The Kentucky team is by no mean underrated, and there is no overcon fidence on the part of Sewanee, fo. Kentucky has shown that she has better team than she has had fo years, and a team for which the Ti gers have the greatest respect. Coacl Nicholson will venture no opinion a to the outcome of the game. He i confident that the will have harde game on his hands than he hal against Alabama.
 His work this week must consis Of eradicating many faults whic cropped out in tie Alabama game . and fumbling must, be eliminated i the Tiger is going to be returned tn victor over the Wildcat next Satur day in Louisville. Fairly light worl was indicated for Monday, with har' work for the balance of the week until the team leaves Friday to mee the pride of the Blue Grass State.
