Birmingham, Ala, Nov 23.-Fumb- ling cost the Vanderbilt commodores the Southern championship this af- teInoon when Auburn held them to a { to ‘ tie.

Her score came as the last play of the first quarter when Sikes car ried the ball five yards through the line, after he and Collins and Rob- bins had brought it from the middle of the field on straight football In the last quarter the playing was en- tirely in Auburn’s territory A fum- ble lost Vanderbilt the ball on the two yard line and later she was held for downs on the one-yard line Three times Curlin, of Vanderbilt, failed on drop kicks in this last period of play.
