  AUBURN BEATS VANDERBILT IN HOT CAME, 14–⁠6 Donahue’s Great Quartet of Full backs Proves Too Much for Fighting Commodores. ID Vanderbilt has been glorious In victory for a decade. Wander Dit Tor the first time in that period tasted defeat, and Vanderbilt is still glorious. NO detraction from the magniflcence OF Auburn, for when the Orange and Blue sent the Commodores back to Nashville beaten by a IA to s score the followers Of the ancient Commouore who endowed a Methodist uni Vers1ty knew that they had fought, and had fought vallantiy. And be 1t understood had It not been for Aupurns reserve power, they might have been fighting yet. Think of II, Auburn won by the force of Auburn’s fullbacks. Any or binary team Is usually contented with one great fullback, but Auburn had to show four, and the quartet answered. Harris started. Harris is some man. Harris grew fatigued Hart was called. Hart grew tired, and then came Christopher. The tongue OF Christopher began to protrude and then Bedez was sent into the breach. Between the combination Of Harris to Hart to Christopher to Bedez, Auburn did business, always remember ing that this quartet was aided and abetted by Messrs. Pitts and Lockwood A ND here’s the idea. A man may – take the jolt of Jeffries on the jaw; he may survive the slug Of F’itzsimmons; 1t may be that he will live after the maui of a Morris, and it has happened that there has been those that have stood up under the larrup of a Langford; but there never has been man, and there never will be man. who can take these four consecutive punches in succession. Wherefore glory be to Vanderbilt And three or four cheers for Auburn Here’s a brief analysis of the game Auburn came to Birmingham UNI beaten, but ready to get over the dis ease. Vanderbilt was cooked and primed to get well by making Auburn the goat. The Old Gold and Black had been beaten by Michigan and Virginia, but doggone it no S. l. A. A team had done it; wherefore Auburn ! being an S. |. A. A. team 1t was Van dy’s sworn duty to down Auburn Auburn came to Birmingham confioent In victory. In fact, every sup porter that the Orange and Blue ever possessed in this excellent State OF iron ore, Oscar Underwood, Rich mond Pearson HobSon, and cotton and corn Ticker, came to Birmingham to celebrate the Vanderbilt mort They came here to the extent OF 10000 The turnstiles at Redwood showed that much. A UBURN was unduly enthusiastic “A Instead of finding walkover they struck q snag. Only through the middle of the line could q gain be made. Auburns method of play ing the tackles wide proved a failure with Muck Brown playing an END This gentleman deserves South ern honors for this gam, alone. Kirk Newell. who had to make his runs around his side, was as help less as the infant reaching for the soap In the well known advertise. ment And Newell is some football player. Donahue’s variety of attack was | carefully concealed Only once, an( that was in the last quarter, did h resort to other than straight foot ball Then he employed the Minneso | ia shift, or variation thereof. BY | this method he plunged the ball OF straight downs So yards for touch down. | Z ROM the very start Auburn start ed its line hammering. And tron the very start this hammering told 1t was in this period when carrying the ball close to Nanderbilt’s goa line, the Commodores received Is yard penalty for roughing, and theI nothing could stop Auburn. The Commodores never lost heart The variety of attack they sprung was startling. Boensch used quarter back runs that Auburn seemed un able to solve. Skies pulled tackles in side, and then went outside of them In fact, Auburn’s tackles never seem ed too strong. And then to sCort the Commodores used triple for ward pass. 1t was Mcqueen L Skies TO Boensch. And there Donahue’s coaching showed, The formation fooled tn Orange and Blue once. Never again The pass was tried time and TIM Iagain. And never again did It work In the meantime Mr.. Harris, o Mr. Christopher, or MIR. Hart, or Mr. Bedez was buchng. And thereb, hangs the tale. |
