It was a furious mill, but Auburn was always. on the bottom. It was pathetic day with the poiytechnio Is,y ;ddn,, one week before. Today they were lined up against a machine that is but little less powerful in every department And the Auburn eleven was crippled. That was undoubtedly responsible for the lop-sided score.

One cannot score with being the whole time on the de- fense and 1t was this imprudent cupid ity perhaps that misled the tactics of Foy had been in the contest with his speed and stiff arms there would have been a transformation in the Orange and Blue offense. As 1t was there was not fast man at either half to skirt the ends and it was almost like send ing beetles against steel wall to try to penetrate the Clemson line. Auburn showed up stiff in her de- fense at the beginning. Captain Lacey won the toss and the whistles sounded from the referee at 3:30 o’clock.
