  VANDERBILT EASILY DOWNS OLD M|SSBY STRAIGHT FOOTBALL -OmmOdOres Score 13TOuch- downs = Class Expected Not Shown by McGugin Machine Memphis, October 23.-(Special) ) Vanderbilt swamped the University of Mississippi eleven here this afternoon By score of 91 to 0. The Mississip- Pians made first down but few times }uring the contest and tried open plays $ne after another in vain effort to tenn the tide. On only few. occasions we’re they productive of any gains. Vanderbilt used very little except traight football, the weak Mississippi inc acting like right of way for the lunges of the Yellow and Gold backs Brilliant end runs also featured. Curry eig the bright star in this department coring six of the 1s Vanderbilt touch- owns Floyd, Ray and Turner were also Eood ground gathers for vandy The entire second team was substi- uted by Coach McGugin in the third uarter and put up a better game for peed than the varsity. It was generally conceded that de- pite the huge score McGugin’s ma hine did not show the class expected ‘umbles were frequent, plays were low getting away and little else than traight football was attempted. This lay have been due to the fact that Virginia, Tennessee and perhaps other oaches or assistants or rival colleges vere on the side lines to get a line on he Commodores’ play.
