variety is difficult to rear in close con

GRIDIRON FORK
Interesting and Spectacular
Contests Last Week -Vandy
Vs. Virginia Probably Most
Interesting Game Next Sat
urday.
Atlanta, Ga. —Southern gridirons
Saturday witnessed a number of in
teresting and spectacular contests, al
though there were few upsets In form.
Possibly the most interesting battle
was that at Nashville between North
Carolina and Vanderbilt, from which
the North Carolinans emerged victo
rious. 10 to 9. In view of the strong
showring made by North Carolina a
week previous against Georgia It had
been freely predicted that Vanderbilt
would tose Saturday by a wider mar
gin. Virginia had little difficulty In
defeating Georgia yesterday, IS to 0
on a muddy field.
F.xperta yesierday were inclined to
the belief that, as North Carolina won
ftom Georgia a week ago, 41 to *. the
annual game between Virginia and
her territorial rivals from Chapel Hill
this year would be unusually close,
with the result exceedingly doubtful.
Tennessee's defeat of Alabama. 17 to
7 Saturday was not unexpected, de
spite the fact that Tennessee's report
ed strength had failed to materialise
in earlier games
Auburn again showed it* strength
by w inning from Mississippi A A M .
19 to 0 Sewanee had little difficulty
In defeating Florida, IS to 0, while.
Georgia Technology also had a fairly
easy time winning from the V. M. I.
team, 28 to 7.
Football of the so-called “new
school" was generally used in Satur
day’s games, practically all the win
ning teams employing the forward
pass with telling effect. L,ast night
gridiron experts were busily engaged
in a comparison of results so far this
season, in an effort to forecast the
result of next Saturday’s battle be
tween Virginia and Vanderbilt at
Nashville.
