n NASHVILLE, Tenn, Novem-
IN Der 10.-The average coach
would consider the victory
of Alabama over Florida
Saturday the most creditable per-
Torrance given by any team In
the Southern Conference.
Georgia's victory over New York
University was conspicuous and
brilliant, it is true, but to the close
student of the game the work OF
Alabama was even more remark
able. On successive Saturdays,
the Crimson Tide has won from
Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky
State and Florida.
These four defeated teams we're ex-
pected to be among the best seven
teams in the conference at the begin
nixE of the season. And, indeed, they
are. Only Alabama, Tulane ana Geor-
Ria, throughout the entire conference
Of % members, may be ranked hlgner
thus far than these four teams whlcn
Alabama has defeated within ~ Gays.
In trese four games Alabama has
scored total of 10 points and has mao
only points scored against her. she
has made three touchdowns on each OF
these teams, save Vanderbilt, and van
derbilt and Tennessee were the only
ones to Cross her goal line. In each OF
these games, with the possible excep-
ton of the one with the Commodores,
the team of Coach Wade has been going
at It's best gait in the closing quarter,
threatening then to score more touch
downs.
'Bama Uses Reserves.
Very fine coaching, q varsity lineup
with nine seniors and ample reserves
and the will to win have enabled Ala
bama to make this splendid record. In
each OF these games, excepting the one
against Vanderbilt, the Crimson tide
has opened up and played a qua:ter or
more with reserves.
Twice this season the University Of
Georgia has engaged two of the strongest
teams In the entire country and twice
has she come home with the bacon with
great credit to herself, further estab-
fishing the CALDER OF Southern Confer
ence teams. A careful reading OF the
New York University because in all
respects Georgia played better game
and deserved to win. The game be-
tween Georgia and Alabama on Thanks
giving day Is alrady arouSing intense
interest throughout the South.
Duke continues her astonishing work
by winning from Kentucky. In fact,
she has only an early season defeat by
South Carolina to mar brill. ant record.
The spirit and consistency of Auburn
are interesting. Auburn has not wen a
conference game in many years and
although she has vastly improved tniS
year she has yet. to break the confer
ence ice. Nevertheless she goes on Sat-
urday after Saturday showing improve
ment and giving our best teams close,
hard contest. She held Tulane score
less throughout the first three quarters
Saturday and when Auburn has oppor-
tunity TO develop her reserves she will
begin TO score some victories.
Maryland Improves.
Clemson recovered her confidence and
playing strength handsomely in her
smashing victory over ". M. I.
Louisiana State University showed her
ability to win more than one important
victory in succession by defeating Mis-
ciSsippi. 30 Rowland of Henderson
Teachers College, Who, in the last few
years, has lest about es few games as
| any coach in the country, CAM over
! into the conference and scored foul
/ tcuchtowns en- Mississippi a. and M.
Maryland, improving constantly, ran
up al points on Washington and Lee
and traditional rivalry gave atmosphere
to the rather decisive victory OF Virgins
by v. p I.
Georgia Tech has undoubtedly i'm
proved or Vanderbilt has stood still
| My belief Is ths Georgia Tech has
| greatly improved and that Vanderbilt
has also shown some progress. These
two teams had q terrific battle, uncer-
