count was: Army, 10; Auburn, 8.
A slashing, stabbinr. variegased at
tack that early had baffied the cadets
goaded them into drive in the final
quarter that none could have foreseen
from their early maneuvers, but once
under way there was no denying the
dazzling, bewildering attack that the
soldiers threw against the visitors.
For practically three-sourths Of the
game the cadets smashed their heft
and sinew against the brawny, stub
born line from Alabama, but as rule
this attack withered and melted against
an imprecnable defense. But that was
enoughby this time young Smythe
had learned lesson. A change was in
order.
Starting that final period the visitors
led by margin Of six points. Con-
servative skirmishing through the first
quarter yielded but little advantage
either way, but shortly after the start
Of the second period the Army kicked
to Auburn on her 20-yard line, and

Army's 30-yard line. Captain Shirley
made short pass to Sherling for five
yards, Smythe intercepted another Au-
burn pass, but dropped the ball when
tackled, and Auburn recovered on the
Army's 18-yard line.

left, then the husky Sherling plowed
through for the touchdown. Moulton's
effort at place kick hit one Of the
uprights and bounded back. Neither
team could make any material progress
throughout the rest of the period, and
the half ended with the ball in Au-
burns possession, when Pearce inter-
cepted an Army pass on the 35-yard
line.
In the third quarter, after series of
fruitless efforts on both sides, the
Army eventually recovered an Auburn
tumble on the visitors 35-foot line, but
thus far Smythe was still directing his
attention to the Auburn line and the
visitors yielded no more than Ave yards
in three tries. A pass failed, and it
was Auburn's ball.
Several exchanges left the Cadets in
possession Of the ball on their own 3t-
yard line as the quarter ended. When
play was resumed Smythe skirted Au-
burns right for twenty-seven yards. On
the next play Auburn interfered with
the receiver of forward pass and the
Army took the ball on the visitors 20
yard line. Three futile tries into the
line we're. followed by pass, which
Smythe tipped to White and the lat
ter sped across for the touchdown.
Smythe's try for a placem ent kick hit
a goal post, as had Auburn's try.
After receiving the kickoff Auburn
tried to plunge with little gain, and
then Howe, who had replaced Ford,
punted. Smythe ran back to the CEN
ter of the field. Lawrence got rs
yards past Auburn's right flank. Gil
more, who had earlier replaced ives,
ripped through for twelve more, TAX
Ing the ball to Auburn's 13 yard line.
Two line plays failed; then Smythe
tried the aerial route. The first failed
but on the final try he shot the bail
70 Uod6 who ran across. Again
Smythe missed placement kick.
Auburn Fumble Fatal
Arny's last touchdown resulted di-
rect!y from an Auburn tumble after
receiving the Kickoff. Army recovered
on the visitors 18-yard line. Smythe
and Dodd alternated carrying the ball
and drove through for a touchdown on
the fourth trial. This time Smvtha
