  SdIlutIS 1ACCPo cOu Red” Sanders, who took over the reins of the Commodores at Wander bilt has already exceeded fond expectations. Vandy whipped Wash ington and Lee, lost 81 to Prince ton came up with a TT tie with a highly favored Kentucky eleven. It looks like Sanders has coffee and cakes for another year, too.
