  NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. l. Especial. )-Outwitting and outgaming the Auburn Tigers and using the over head attack with deadly effect the Vanderbilt team conquered the Au- burn team here today 13 to 0 thereby eliminating the Plainsmen from the conference race. In the first quarter Waller and Wakefield tackled Peterson so heavily on punt that he fumbled and Wakefield raced 30 yards to a touchdown. In the second half McKib- bon stood on his own 35-yard line and hurled a pass 60 yards on the carry to Wakefield who raced the remaining p for a touchdown. It was Wakefield’s super play that practically beat Auburn. He scored both touchdowns permitted Auburn backs to bring back punts only three yards on 12 tricks, backed the line in wonderful style and made nearly one third of the tackles for the Com modores. He lead the interference, and covered the entire field on every at- tempt of the Auburnites to score. Reese 8 Star Reese was the outstanding attack ing star for the Commodores with Ryan’s kicking Edge aiding in tn vice. tory. For Auburn Salter and Turner were the brilliant luminaries on the offense. Starting the fourth quarter with the ball on their own 40-yard line Salter started plunging the line without alteration and on 13 consecu- tive Bucks carried the ball for 45 yards. Turner went into the game here and started plunging repeatedly to bring the ball to the Vanderbilt Award line only to be halted for downs and the ball kicked out to safety. It was Auburn’s one big bid for touchdown and they had spent their force driving within scoring distance. Over Captain Law
