FEffISETSI 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.
