Vanderbilt Surprises.

| Vanderbilt won the Southern Con
ference basket ball championship in
fiee-for-all struggle among IA Dixie
| quintets, which was by all odds the
most successful tourney of the sort
in the history of the organization.
When play began Maryland was
generally accounted the logical choice
as winner of the title, although North
Carolina, whose fivcs had won the
title for. three successive years, was
reckonad to be the team which the
Old Liners had to beat.
No one, as it seems, thought much
about the University of Georgia COM
bination. But the Bulldogs came to
Atlanta intent upon nothing but a
championship. Some of the players,
they say, did not even bring a clean
shirt with them, lest the change work
come jinX in their fortune.
The men of Athens encountered
the highly accomplished Maryland
five right at the outset and eliminated
it. They met North Carolina in the
semi-finals and gave the Tarheels a
trouncing.
This brought them up against
Vandy in the finals and memorable
struggle resulted The score in the
course of the game was tied five
times. and five times did the Bulldogs
fight their way into the lead, as game
an exhibition of high spirit and
courage as a Southern basket ball
crowd has ever witnessed. But in the
enc Vanderbilt prevailed by the
scanty margin of points,

inches above the floor. Techs system
was to work Hearn under the basket
and pass him the ball. which he would
gracefully and without too much
effort flip into the basket. He had
been scoring baskets alb through the
season, averaging 10 and IL a game

cess aggregation, which was entered
originally in the Junior circuit of the
league. found the pace set by the
Eaglets too fast for them. This fact,
coupled with the erratic shooting of
their stellar forward, Mary Ellen Tot

Miss Totten's usually keen eye was

rolled around the rim of the basket

the basket with ease for the Eaglets,
