 vandy Hasn't Lost
 Vanderbilt, whose inter-seetional match with Michigan resulted In tie, is the only southern team which has not lost any games this year, for Alabama. which earned brilliant victory over Pennsylvania, had pre- viously been downed by Georgia Tech and Texas But the most striking fea- ture of the season. which comes to an end in less than three weeks, has been the frequency with which Con- tres Colonels have been scored upon and the comparatively low total of Georgia Tech.
 The games of Saturday, however. showed hardly an upset, barring South Carolina's decisive victory over Thurman. for the veteran North Caro- lima machine that wiped V. M. l. off the list Of undefeated had gone into the contest with a record or having overcome a much more impressive list of opponents than had the Vir- ginia Cadets.
