WOODRUFF HURT
 IN AUTO SPILL

ATHENS, Ga, Oct. 31.-Harry Woodruff of Columbus, the original Kid Woodruff of the University of Georgia football team, is in hospital, seriously injured and two others are slightly hurt as a result of an automobile wreck here late today.
 The others injured are:
 Jim Woodruff of Columbus, bruised about the hips.
 Alfred Young, Columbus, broken shoulder.
 Jeff Kelly, owner of the wrecked au- tomobile, also of Columbus, was unin- jured.
 The car was being driven by Harry Woodruff and in rounding a sharp curve, he put on brakes, which is be- lieved to have in some way caused the car to turn over twice. The automo- bile was of the sedan type and Wood ruff is said to be used to driving an open car.

". & [. TO CLASH
 WITH VIRGINIA

LEXINGTON, Va, Oct. 31.-(Spe- cial. )--Saturday will mark the begin ming of the exodus of Washington and Lee students to Charlottesville to see the annual grid classic between the Generals and the Cavaliers Saturday. Enthusiasm and interest are mounting so high that it would not be at all sur prising to find the entire local student body at Lambeth field when hostilities are begun.
 In 1922 when athletic relations be- tween the two ancient were reopened, Virginia triumphed over the white and Blue, q to 6. Last year the Gen. erals entertained the Old Dominion in Lexington and scored a brilliant 70 victory.

 In the American League, Eddie Col lins, quite different type from Horns by, has a bigger lead over his only rival than had the Cardinal star over bis. The twenty-three players who made Harris their choice for All-American League second baseman based their ac- tion upon some quality of the Senator that dosen't appear in the records. The who supported Collins counted hi mthe peer of Harris as fielder and his master as batsman. They didn't forget either that Eddie was the leading base runner of the American League.
 As a second baselnan Harris proved himself an invaluable unit of a pennant winning team and made the Senator's infield one the best defensive machines in either big league. But after gll he was more valuable to his team as manager than as a player, the regularity with which he delivered hits and fine field. ing stunts when they were needed to bring victory or stave off defeat.

Bancroft, Hardwick And Maury Star In Fresh
 man Tilt

AUBURN, Ala, Oct. 31.-(Special.) ) The Howard college Freshman-Auburn freshman football game played on Drake field here this afternoon resulted in a 6 to 6 tie.
 Auburn's score came in the first pc riod. With the ball in Towards pos- session on the 50-yard line, the Baptists tried a forward pass, which was inter- cepted by Hardwick, Auburn half back, who ran 20 yards before being downed. Another pass to Hardwick netted 10 yards and he ran another 15 yards for a touchdown. Newsome failed to kick goal.
 Towards touchdown came in the final period, after Captain Bancroft got away with a, 30-yard run to, Au- burns 20-yard line. Webber and Ban croft hammered their way to the one foot line as the third period ended on first play on the fourth period, Wright shot through quick opening for a touchdown. Howard failed at the ex- tra point and the score dyas tied. 1, Coach Shelton brought well coached team to Auburn. In Bancroft, Wood lawn star, the Red and Black freshies have d flashy back that will probably be heard from on their Howard varsity. Webber, another Howard back, got away for good gains.
 Hardwick was easily the offensive star for the Auburn Rats. Maury, at end, proved to be tackling demon and went down under punts in fine shape. Scott, former Bessemerite, played a good game at tackle. Captain Patter- son played his usual steady game at center and made it hard for opposing hacks to come over the center of the line.

UNIVERSITY HIGH
 BEATS MADORY.
Aerial Attack Wins For Gamecocks By 19-O
 Score

University high easily defeated Me Adory at Avondale field Friday after noon by the county of 19 to in a rather listless battle.
 Finding the heavy McAdory forward wall hard to pierce with line bucks, the Gamecocks resorted to an aerial game Both touchdowns in the first half came on forward passes, once from McNally to Mccoy and the second one from Grabin to Mccoy. The third touch down came when Mike Grabin started on an end run, reversed his field through the center of the McAdory line and sprinted 70 yards for the counter.
 Grabin got away for another touchdown after a good run in the closing minutes of the final period, but was called back when one of his mates was offside. A pass, Mccoy to McNally, placed the ball near the goal line as the whistle blew to end the game.
 McAdory threatened in the fourth period when their running attack, aided by several pelaties, carried them down near the university goal line, where the Gamecocks held.
 The McAdory line held well on the defense, and the university backs gained little through their running attack. Their tackles, Parsons and Griffin, did good work, while Wood, fullback, was the best ground gainer for the McCalla eleven.
 Grabin, McNaIly And Mccoy
 The running attack of the dimunitive Mike Grabin, with the aerial perform ances of McNally and Mccoy, stood out for university. Grabin broke away sev- eral times for long runs, two of them netting touchdown, although one was called back. Mccoy snagged two passes which he converted into scores, while Bubsy McNally was on the receiving end of five aerial losses of his mates. Several of his catches wer, sen. 4tional. Miller, Burt, Housma1. and Nyhoff did well in the line.

Two Teams First Met In 1893 And Commo-
 dOres Won

AUBURN, Ala, Oct. 31.-(Special.) Fourteen games are recorded as having heen played by Auburn and Vanderbilt teams. These games date back to the initial clash in 1S93-31 years ago. In the opening game when football was in its pioneer stage in the south, Auburn won 30 to 10. Following this date Vandy was victorious in the next games which covered q period of 19 years. In 1912, probably the most eventful game that has been played by teams of the two institutions, was played in Birmingham. With the Commodores holding heavy odds and with points to spare, Kirk Newell, Auburn half, recovered a tumble and raced for touchdown which with the extra point tied the score of the game z and z.
 F. In 1913. the. Auburnites won, 15 to c and in 1924 they were again victorious by the narrow margin of 6 to o. 0.Auburn's s heaviest victory. over the Tennesseeans came in 1920 when the Plainsmen won by 56 to 6 score, while Vandy's worst wallop of the Tiger came in 1905 with a 54 to o score over the Tigers. The figures show that Auburn thas won five and tied one game against Vandy's winning column of eight games of the fourteen total. The total points scored favor the Nashville outfit whose total figures 225 and Auburn's 17O.
