The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-11-06

Tapping in the breeze, and the Conn due it as victor At Redwood p scans humbled their old rivals, the triumphing over the native sons by varied by brilliant aerial display a weakening, were the causes of Alab the hands of Tennessee eleven.
 Frank Godchaux. playing quarter back in place of Doc Kuhn, brilliant little field general of the Commo- dores. piloted his team well during the three and some fraction quarters he played. GodehauX, who is d New Orleans hoy. played heady game at quarterback and a bit of quick think ing on his part led to the Commo- dores' first touchdown.
 Jess Nicely Stars
 To Jess Nicely, star halfback of the Comodores, must go the credit of playing the greatest part in Wander bilts victory over the Crimsons. It was Neelys great passing attack. combined with some first class line rushing on his part, that was direct ly responsible for both of the Com modores' touchdowns.
 It was early in the first quarter that the Commodores rushed across their first touchdown. After receiv- ing a punt in midfield, the Tennes- scans started down the field in ir- resistible fashion. Two line bucks gained only yards, however, and the little field general. Frank Godchaux, was hard put to it to decide on his next move. Only a moment or two he took in making up his mind, how ever, and Jess Nicely was called back in kick formation.
 A Pretty Pass
 The spiral from Sharpe was per feet, and Nicely poised as if to punt. then quickly hurled a pass straight down the field. Ove- half way to the goal line the giant Mccullough paused, and turning just in time, caught Neely's pass. He was downed in his tracks, but on the next play Jess Neely, again called Into the limelight, sidestepped and stiff armed his way through tackle for 20 yards, and the ball was within yards of the goal line. Frank Godchaux spurted yards around end, and big Bomar, Commodore fullback, plunged many yards over the goal line on a cross buck line play. Smith kicked goal, and the Commodores had taken the lead in, their clash with the Grim sons. and were never headed.
 Crimsons Rally
 Such speedy bit of work by the Comlnodores might have taken the pep" and destroyed the morale of the Crimsons, but 1t didn't, and 1t was not until along towards the mid dle of the fourth quarter that vandy was able to push across It's second touchdown. Coach Scott's men quirk- ly gathered around in a circle and their fighting spirit came to the top. The Commodores were battled yard for yard throughout the remainder of the half, and during the third quarter.
 Ryan and Bartlett engaged in bunting duel, with honors about even. The commodores, famous for their onside kick plays, never. exc cuted one of these plays yesterday, but three times Vandy back field man was in onside formation behind the kicker. Usually Ryan's kicks were lofty and far, and so difficult were they to judge that many times the Crimson safety man fumbled. Only twice were fumbled punts re- covered by the Commodores, how ever, as the Crimson backs were quick to correct their mistakes.
 Alabama Threatens
 Only once did the Crimsons ad- vance the ball within Vandy's danger sone, 8 Commodore penalty of 15 yards helping the Crimsons consid- erably. Two line bucks gained a few yards, but two attempted passes were incompleted, and vandy took the ball on her own 17-yard line. Ryan quick ly punted out of danger, and the one critical stage for the Commodores had passed.
 The commodores in the third quar- ter executed one of the prettiest for ward passes seen at Redwood park in a long. long time. With the ball on about the 45-yard line. Jess Nicely. faking an end run, hurled the pig skin diagonally across the field to Bomar. way down in Alabama terri tory. The big fullback was hauled down on Alabama's 10-yard line, but the Commodores had four downs to carry it across.
 Crimsons Hold
 The Crimsons held like stone wall, however, and only nine yards were gained in four trials. Bartlett. back against the right field fence, punted to the middle of the field, ana the Crimsons were saved that touch down.
 It was not very long, however, be- fore the Commodores had scored their second touchdown. Under con ditions almost identical as those when they sent their first counter across the Crimson goal line. the Com modores took the ball In midheld, and. after 20-yard run around end by Jess Neely, Kuhn passed 20 yards to Mccullough, and the Commodores had the ball on Alabama's five-yard line Bomar was held to two yards in two rushes. but Kuhn, diyed over the line of scrimmage on the next play for the touchdown.
