Between two unbeaten elevens and. with
the possible exception Of Alabama, the
Souths two strongest. The system Of
play of the two schools is widely al
variance. Vanderbilt uses a shortkicl
formation, which Fielding Yost al
Michigan has developed to its highes
perfection. which development Wander.
bilt very closely approximates. No othel
school in the South has utilized the
short-kick formation so effectively. TT
that this year Vanderbilt has added &

sometimes lineman shifting also. The
actual merit of this shift is ques'
