  Tulane Wins, Is 10 I; Breaks Vanderbilt Tie In Last Six Minutes NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 15.-Tulane defeated Vanderbilt, 1917. here today with a fourth quarter field goal and a touchdown. The score was tied at TT with six minutes remaining when Quarterback Pete Clement kicked a 17-yard field goal to put Tulane ahead for the first time. Vanderbilt’s quarterback, Bill Krletemeyer, fumbled on his own 7-yard line and Tulane Tackle Mike Housepian recovered on the 4. Max MCGEE cracked over from the l on Tulane’s third try. Bailey Runs rs Yards. A 76-yard touchdown run by Halfback Roy Bailey in the third quarter moved Tulane into a TT tie. Bailey’s run came suddenly after Vanderbilt had drawn in it’s secondary in an attempt to stop Tulane on third down with a yard to go. The 175-pound halfback from Richmond, Va. crashed through the Vanderbilt line and scampered rs yards almost untouched. Krietemeyer, Vanderbilt fresh man who throws the ball like a baseball outflelder, hurled a 81 yard pass to End Ben Roderick late in the second quarter for Vanderbilt’s only score. Krietemeyer. an Evansville, Ind, student, released from a Nashville hospital only yesterday with a leg infection, came into the game in the second quarter. Vanderbilt Still linked. Except for Krietemeyer’s passing that brought $4,000 Tulane home coming fans to their feet, Vandy’s offense was slowed to a crawl by Tulane’s Slashing line. In winning Tulane kept alive an old jinx over Vanderbilt, dating back to 1928. Since then Wander bilt hasn’t been able to beat a Tulane football team. Krietemeyer, who gained 1929 yards for Vandy in its first eight games, completed four of eight passes for 78 yards.
