CO) 22 NASFyiLT.E TENNESSEAN and The NhviH? American, SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 5, 1911. Vanderbilt Defeats Georgia 1 7 to Princeton Beats Harvard 8 to 6 game Interesting, when th score is PRINCETON IIS CP ISLE INDIANS injured; yesterday fast. Ion and hard, uses tho straight arm talrly well, und Rxpert at hopping over prjetrato opponent Mc-Whorter's work was tho best yet seen against Vanderbilt this season, an'', is destined to win a sure place on tho all-Southern ii he continues to play, the oall he played yesterday. At receiving forward passes McWhorter is again in hlB element, and despite the powerful defense of the Commodores, he took the passes eev-eral times for long gains.

In fact, forward passing was tho best thing Georgia did on tho offense. Although McWhorter made neat gains over tackle and occasionally Malone would get away through the line and Sanck-en around the end. the Georgians could not make their yards with enough consistency to get them anywhere. Even with the forward passes working as well as they were, Georgia was unable to get within real striking" distance of Vanderbilt's goal: STRAIGHT FOOTBALL. times during.

the game did Vanderbilt try forward passing, and two of 'those tailed. the: third' one to Collin's netted the Commodores about eight, yards: 'McGugin's men contented themselves, with using straight around -the' ends and over and plunges through the line straight' and 'split plays. Sikes played great at. fullback, making Bev-erai: runs of approximately 36- yards each, then a number of shorter-ones when they- were 'badly- needed. Furthermore.Slkes carried the ball over tho goal lino for one of tbe three On the defense Sikes was a' ram.

Just in parenthesis it.might be casually observed that Vanderbilt's couple of touchdowns which' were not allowed. The first one was a corking sprint by Ray Morrison for 90 yards through the entire Georgia team for a touchdown, but it was not allowed for some foul committed by a Vanderbilt player during the Play. On another occasion Ray foi about flften yards for a toucBdown.

but the referee claimed that time was up before tho play began. THE PUNTING. Georgia's punting on the average was miserable. Powell-punted semi-occasionally for 35 yards, but many of his -kicks ranged from 10 to 20 yards, and he had the hablt-of kicking out of bounds at close instead of sending the ball way off to the 'side. Ray Morrison did the kicking for Vanderbilt, "and did well.

His kicks averaged over '35 yards, and he got one for fifty and another fifty-five yards; in returning, punts, too. Vanderbilt had Georgia badly: outclassed. Sancken never made more than five or six yardc on any return, for Vanderbilt's ends and tackles were right down on him, either throwing him in his tracks pushing him back for MK BUT IS BEATEN Vanderbilt Wins Hard Fray by Score of Seventeen to Nothing. HARDAGE INJURED McWhorter Was Star Player for Georgia Sikes and Morrison for Locals. BY SPICK HALL.

Under a cold, leaden, sky with occasional splashes of rain. Vanderbilt added Georgia to nor long list of victims yesterday afternoon on Dudley Held, defeating the Crackers by the medium count of 17 to 0. That score represents about as nearly as can be obtained the fighting strength of the two teams as they battled yesterday. Vfhat the score would have been if Freeland had been in the game and Hardugo had not been knocked outjn the second quarter is merely a mat-tor of speculation. While thero is no doubt that Freeland and Hardnge playing all the game would have made somo difference, Joe Covington, who took Frceland's place at left tackle for Vanderbilt, put up ah excellent article of ball.

Tben tbo fact must also bo considered that several of tho Georgia -men were not in the best physical condition, wiiilo 'Woodruff did not get into the game at all. On tno whole, tho. result of the game was about what the majority predicted, and was just about tho score which Vanderbilt deserved to beat the Cracker men. At no time during the game did Georgia have a good cnance to make a touchdown, although they were clofto onough several times for a successful kick to have been made if they had the man to do it; but they did not, so tiiey lost tlielr opportunity to score1 by this failure to a have a placement or drop kicker In the game. Georgia put up a splendid article of ball on the forcing Vanderbilt to punt time after, time.

Then, too, on tho offenBe, the Goorgic array showed the effects of excellent coaching plus a lot of good individual work on the part of McWhorter. Sanckor. and Malone. Of: this trio, by far the most brilliant and consls-lent performer was McWhorter. He more than lived up.tc the reputation which preceded him 10 Dudley field.

(fly Associated Press.) PRINCETON. Nov. defemod1 Harvard at fooibnlPiuday by tbo score of 8 to ti li was ihe first tlmo these universities hud met on the grid-Iron In flfiern years, ihe last gumo resulting in a victory for he and Black by the score of I'J to 0. Today's gnnte Incited what ootild properly be called yptetaeular fool hall; the nearest approach to anything causing uM a ordinary thrill being a run for practically ihe eiuiro length of the field by White, tlettlng the ball on Princeton's five-yard line after the Tigers had twice held the Crimson within a few feet of the goal, White dodged three Harvard players and was orr like a flash 'down the field with the entire Harvard -team in pursuit. Not a man got within striking distance and it was an easy touchdown.

Pendleton kicked goal. The Bcoro was made In the second period and it was the only time that either goals was seriously endangered until tbo closing penod. In the closing moments Harvard worked the ball Into Princeton'; and' by a pretty forward pass jhimue, me uuu was piaeeu witiiiti pne yard of the goal.

Just previous to ibis score a Crimson ptayaur badr been forced back of his owti; goal line for a sarety. detracting from Princeton's glorious victory it is the ceneral oDln- ion tbat Harvard's over-con fldenco caused its downfall. The fact that: two io one was oirered on Harvard but few takers shows lhat respect roveu rincoton supporters had for tbo Crimson. Princeton, on the other hand, was lnHd determined but not sanguine, ihe llger team has plavcd such erratia football Ibis season that even their mot loyal friends were dubious as to the ic-sult of the Ratne. Hut the Princeton' tads jumped Into the contest with a determination born of desperation and won.

The crame was bard but remarkabiv. free from roughness. The tackllug ol both elevens was fierce. Kspeeiniy. waa this true of the orange and blacu evidenced by the unusual number of Harvard substitutions.

Neither eleven showed anything extraordinary. If had nnv tricks 'bniri kept them under cover. Princeton did nut attempt the forward pass during tne entire gamo and Harvard did not restart to this play until near the end. Nor could' either team gain consistently through' the line. Princeton's forwards were a revelation to Harvard.
