AUBURN HOLDS COMMODORES TO
TIE IN SENSATIONAL STRUGGLE
By Percy H. Whiting.'
RICKWOQD PARK. BIRMING
HAM, ALA., Nov. 23.—Auburn
held Vandy to a 7 to 7 tie hpre this
afternoon, outplaying and out
kicking them.
Vandy started smoothly and un
reeled the first touchdown in jig
time. The Auburn stiffened a bit
later with the ball at midfield,
some Vanderbilt, man, not recog
nized from the press box, fumbled.
In a flash, Newell was through and
after it. For a second there was
a tight pinch and it appeared that
he would have to fall on it. Then
he scooped up the leather and
ducked away down the west side
line. He had a clear -field, but
Vanderbilt runners were close be
hind him. He outran them, how
ever. and was only loping when he
crossed the goal.
Time and again after that Vandy
carried the ball down to within inches
of the Auburn goal, only to lose by
being held by an intercepted forward
pass on a fumble. Vanderbilt s line
was in danger only once after me
touchdown, and that time the Commo
dores held on their one-yard line. Kegs
of money’ changed hands on the result,
most of it being on the proposition
that Vandy would win by 12 points or
more.
Not in years has there . '*en such a
gathering of football notables in a
Dixie city. Five thousand l? . ctators
saw the game.
Coaches Cunningham and Ketron
were here from Georgia; Coach Coke,
Gillem and Chigger Brown from Se
wanee, and football enthusiasts by the
thousands from all over the South.
Atlanta was represented by at least
100 enthusiasts. Crowds began to
gather at 1 o’clock, and before the
gates were even opened there was a
mob that threatened to tear down the
place.
At 1:30 the Auburn delegation, head
ed by a band and bearing the replica
of the famous gigantic football that
was burned last year by Tech students
to the accompaniment of a young riot.
There are not less than 400 Auburn
men here, who arrived by special train.

2 CENTS EVERYWHERE
adium, the fleet Crimson team off
sd and by the power of Brickley’s
boot, dashed to victory.
Harvard had been picked to win,
going into the game a 10 to 8
favorite. Harvard amassed a total
of 10 points in the first quarter,
crossing the blue goal line for the
first time in eleven years, kicking
goal and also scoring a goal from
the field.
Storer’s touchdown when
Wheeler fumbled the ball on
Yale’s 25-yard line and Hardwick
kicked the goal, giving Harvard
7 points. Brickley, the success
ful Harvard kicker, a few min
utes later scored a goal from the
field, kicking from the 31-yard
line, then held and forced the
Crimson to punt.
Harvard scored another touch
down shortly after the start of
the third period. This was also
due to a fumble, Cornell, a Yale
quarter, who replaced Wheeler,
failing to hold the ball. Brickley
fell upon it and on the next play
he was sent around Yale’s left
end for a touchdown. Hardwick
kicked goal, increasing the score
to: Harvard 17, Yale 0.
Brickley,- with a beautiful dodging
run of 35 yards shortly afterward, car
ried the ball almost to Yale’s goal line.
There Yale held and Brickley dropped,
back to the 20-yard line, scoring an
easy held goal, making the total score
Harvard 20, Yale 0, which stood at tha
end of the period. The Yale bulldog
never showed his determination more
markedly than in the fourth, period,
when with the odds against him the
Blue eleven smashed repeatedly againsc
the Harvard line. Starting from the
26-yard line, Yale carried the ball by
successive plunges and short runs to
Harvard’s 7-yard line. There the
Crimson held and secured the ball. Fel
ton then punted out ( of the danger for
the time being. Yale made one last
desperate effort, but it was in vain,
and the period ended without either
side scoring. Final score—Harvard 20,
Yale 0.
Harvard Men Frenzied.
Immediately following the game 10,000
Harvard rooters jumped Into the Held
and while several hundred of them
fought for the privilege of carrying the
Crimson eleven around on their shoul
ders, the rest of them ran around yell
ing in a frenzy of delight, pulling oft
their own hats and those of everybody
else within reach and smashing them
on each other’s shoulders and heads,
and then throwing them over the goal
posts at each end of the field. Hun
-1 dreds of them jumped on to each other’s
, shoulders and hugged each other with
Joy.
Firecrackers were shot off in all parts
■ of the field, and the crowd went Into
the grounds.
i While the band struck up a lively air
’ and the semblance of a parade was
started the victorious rooters then
s went to the Yale stand and cheered the
' Yale rooters who remained in their
• seats gloomily watching the demonstra
r tlon. They responded to the courtesy
■ of the Harvard rooters with a few faint
cheers.
FIRST QUARTER.
Yale won the toss and chose to defenii
the south goal. Flynn kicked off. The
ball went back of the goal line and was
i brought out to the 2t»-yard line. Felton
punted to Yale’s 35-yard line. Wheeler
missed the ball, but Yale recovered it.
