 PIainsmen for 2l-0 Win
tcontinued from Page one)

tCOntinued from Page onep passes and a couple of line bucks. The first pass was thrown to Roberts to McMillin but the other three were all McMillin to Snoddy.
 The Plainsmen held for downs on their own 20-yard line as the final whistle blew. ending one of the most speAacular games ever seen at Rick wood park.
 It was easy for the some 15,000 fans who crowded into Redwood yester- day to understand how the Colonels defeated Auburn, and, in fact, Harvard or any other team, for that matter The Kentuckians played together like well oiled parts of a delicate ma chine. And the Centre machine was mechanically perfect yesterday
 Great Interference
 Always three and usually four men ran interference on the end runs and off-tackle plays. If was problem to break up this interference to leave the runner unprotected against the charge of the defenders. And, even after the interference had been broken, it was a problem equally as hard to stop the runner especially when the back carrying the ball was McMillin, Snoddy, Armstrong or Gov ington, all of whom gave a great open field exhibition at Redwood park yesterday.
 Probably the most useful player the Colonels had on the field yester- day was Red" Roberts, giant pas timer who started at end shifted to tackle, was called back to run inter- ference, and wound up his days work by plunging through the Auburn line for two of Centres three touchdowns.
 Roberts defensive work at end was great, while, at tackle, he stopped what few rushes the Tigers at tempted.
 CoIoneIs on offensive The fact that the Colonels had the ball the majority of the time pre- vented fandom from getting much of line on the defensive strength of Centre yesterday. There was no doubt in the minds of the throng Of fandom after the game that Centre is one of the greatest offensive teams to ever perform on Redwood field, but no one had real opportunity to see just how the Kentuckians stack up on defense. The fact that the Cen tre line stopped the rushes of the Harvard Crimsons would indicate that the Colonels are as strong on defense as offense, however. Back to Roberts performance yes | terday. the red-headed giant played all over the field, and he didn't make much noise about it, either. He gained a few yards whenever given the ball, and ran interference well when called back to help the attack | CTS out.
 Roberts Is almost as valuable a man to the Centre team as McMillin, l a..1 fnA f.a .t.. t.s. work in a quiet buslness-liSe man ner does not detract from his useful ness one bit. Red" made all-Ameri- can in 1919, and the chances are that he will be on one of the picks this season.
 Tanners best work was in The plunging, while the broken field run ming of the other regular backs as well as couple of flashy sprints by Murphy, substitute, were thrills that helped keep the crowd on edge at Redwood yesterday.
 That Auburn didn't have the ball more than fourth of the time not only does not give one an opportuni- ty to size up the defense of the Col oncls. but 1t also doesn't give one an idea of the Auburn offensive. While they had the ball, the Tigers | N4u fciJ WcAis OuL 1eulTG managed tO | always be on the offensive, and the few times the Tigers carried the ball failed to produce anything of the sen sational. except for that one 20-yard dash off tackle by Shilling.
 Caton, Lawrence. Ford and the Au. burn ends played good defensive football yesterday, while Pierce did all that was required of him. Carter played good ball during the three and some fraction quarters he was in the game.
 Charlie Scott. . Bessemer boy, showed flashes of form yesterday, while his defensive work in breaking up passes was valuable to the Tigers. shirling backed up the line well, but seemed out of condition for the game, as time out was taken for him two or three times.
 The Centre Auburn game has been played. and there are at least 15,0o0 fans who will never forget the ex- hibition of football staged by the 1 Colonels. Bo McMillin came to Bir- mingham hailed as all-American quarterback and main strength of |
