fl. GAME (Continued From First Page.) that tb Commodores would wl.i by such a decisive score as 16 to 0. That the Tigers would soore was a foregone conclusion hy the Tiger followers, and the mass of Vanderbilt supporters. However, like a grt many other foregone conclusions, the dope went wide of the mark, for only one did the Sewaneo team eome within striking distance of the goal. The blggost surprise o' all to those who had followed closely the doings of Mc-Ougln's men, was the wonderful comeback.

The game at Birmingham last Saturday, with but four dayB' rest for the ThariMfcglving fray was enough to take the edge off. But If tho edge was taken off it was put back with the same keenness which has carried the Commodores through a heavy season with splendid success. Not once during the long grind did the Vanderbilt team show any algnB of weakneas. On the contrary, at the finish they were stronger, at least by comparison, than at the beginning, for In the last two periods, they ruBhed the ball consistently for two touchdowns. SEWANEE'S DEFENSE.

On the defense the Sewanee team showed greater strength than any team representing that institution haa shown in years. But they were met with an lrrestlble machine which drove them back vard by yard. However, there was never a time in the game when the Tigers' de-fens seemed demoralised at all. On the contrary they made a bold Btand under their goal and made the Commodores try four times before they could take the ball over from the five-yard line. Three times Hart! age was sent In to make the touchdown, but he was hurled back.

Finally aa a last resort, Robins shot across the line, following in the wake of Buddy Morgan. At that the ball was over by Inches only. Until he put out of the game by an in-Jury, Stoney, Sewanee center, played a good game. Ham, who relieved hi put up a hard scrap, but neither of them was a match for Buddy Morgan, who -milled men and plays In all directions and was a power generally in breaking up the Tigers' offense. Sewanee's secondary dofense was a powerful one and the fact that not a Vanderbilt man got clear In indicative of tho strength of that organization.

Tho punting of Captain Jenks Giliem, Bewmee. was tho best that has ever been dono on Dudley field. There was limp or no wind to impede or aid the progress of the ball in either direction. Tho result was that Giliem kicked well toward tho north and south. His kicks averaged pards beyond tho line of pcrimmngo which Is a total boot of about W.

yards. That for an average is going ome and It nided the Tigers materially 1p warding off the Vanderbilt attack. Giliem also was a power at broken fluid running, most of which he did trom a punt format! in.

Two more touchdowns with goals In the last quarter ended the scoring for Tech. On the ends, Enoch Brown and Reams played brilliantly. E.

Rmwn's defensive play was remarkable, for he not only did what was expected of him, break the Interference, but he got his man about fifty per cent of the time, many of the plays being difficult tackles frot- fitting and reclining postures. Reams Is not as experienced as E. Brown, but his game yesterday was worthy of a lot of praise. He blocked the only kick whfch Vander-vilt blocked nd made It possi-ie for the bull to be recovered on the play.

ROOTERS AT VANDERBILT -SEW AN EE GAME (By Associated Tress.) ATHENS, Nov. In a fired y-contested battle for second southern football honors the University of Georgia defeated Auburn here this afternoon by a score of 12 to 6. WcWhorlrr, the star halfback of tho Georgia team, made a number of spectacular runs for substantial gainf. Skirting left end lor a 35-yard run through broken field he scored the first touchdown of the game in the second period. Georgia's second and Inst score came In the same period when MeWhorter made a forward pass to Conklln on Auburn's ten-yard line and Conklln crossed the goal for a touchdown.

Auburn was unable to erofs the Georgia goal Hue. The six points netted hy the visitors were the result of goals from the field by Major. The first, a drop-kick, went over the bar in the third period from the 15-yard line. The second which she waa able to get awav with ut all. VANDV'S LINE.

The Commodore linesmen had a lot of work to do against the Tigers and they came out of the fnv having "done noble." Tom Brown, backing up the left side of the Vanderbilt Uno was a terror to the Sewanee- backs. He broke through and often hurled the runners for a loss followed the ball and did everything that an all-southern tackle should do. Buddy Morgan, at the pivot position, handled hla big frame most gracefully from a Vanderbilt viewpoint. Like Brown, he was a power on the defense, and incidentally. It was due In a great measure to him that Robins was able to get through the line on the quick, quarter-hack plunge play.

Jack Swafford, who played his last game yesterday, was hurt and had to retire In favor of Joe Covington. Botli of the guards played consistently, opening up holes and presenting a stubborn de-fenBe to Sewanee. On the other side of the line, the two freshmen, Paves and Shlpp held their own. Yhvps pin red tight game all the way through. ITe rushed a numhpr of times and broke up plavs and seldom was he put out of the way of the Tiger offense.

Shlnn whs hurt and was therefore not able to play tho ball he Is capable of playing. However, in the early part of the game he was all to the good, nnd In the last part, he was fighting hard and constantly getting his man out of the way for Shea. TULANE WAS DEFEATED BY LOUISIANA TEAM NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 28. Before the largest crowd ever assembled at Tulane stadium, Louisiana State University today won the Louisiana state football championship for the Hecond consecutive time from Tulane University.

Today's game was the first between the teams played here in seven years. Louisiana's victory was decisive the final score being 21 to 3. Tulane's only count came In the first quarter when Carl Woodward made a goal from placement. Louisiana used straight tactics, while Tulane resorted to the open style of game and the forward pass. Four successive forward passes "In the second period netted Tulane more than 55 yards and then lost bv an intercepted pass.

Quarterback Dupont and Right Half Evans played the best game for Louisiana with Right Half George and C. Woodward showing the strongest for Tulane. CHATTANOOGA WINS CHATTANOOGA, Nov. The University of Chattanooga eleven defeated tho Eleventh cavalry here this afternoon, 13 to 0. The locals were superior In every department of the Kame.

Dexhelmer and Hampton of Chattanooga proved the stars. VANDERBILT Locals, Though Outweighed, Made Good Gains and Won, Fourteen to Nothing.

Ritchie was tho first to enter the ring. Wolgast' followed a half minute later. Ritchie was the only one of the two principals that was given a semblance of a reception.

He was 55 yards from Cornell's goal with clear Held and dashing down the Held Jtrunrnnr! Cornel's Heclest men, he made an easy touchdown. Because of the wet Held tho gnmo resolved itself largely Into a kicking contest in which Butler, of Cornell, Invan-abv had the; better of Minds. Even with the wind against him, Butler' kicks usually gained ground on tho Pennsylvania. x.

Neither team was able to consistently advance bv rushlr.K- "nly a few first downs were made by either team. It was a bad day for the forward pass.

Ritchie was ablo to see from one eye only as he came up. He sent a left to Wolgast's stomach, and they fought at close range. The referee pried them apart several times in this round. Ritchie landed a volley of lefts to the stomach and out boxed tho champion. Wolgast closed the round with a hard drive to the stomach.

Wolgast had been given a taste of whisky during each round Intermission. SIXTEENTH ROUND Ritchie swung right to as they met and WoigaBt tottered to tiie ropes. Ritchie sent the champion to the floor with a right 3Wing. Wolgast came up reeling. Again Ritchie's right shot out and Wolgast was sent against the ropes, Ritchie, however, lacked power to put In a finishing blow.

The best WolRast could do was to close In. stalling all the while, his eyes glazed. With the men locked Wolgast brought his left up from his side and struck Ritchie low. Tlie blow was clearly discernible and the crowd yelled Its protest. Referee Griffin grasped, saying: "Do that again and I'll disqualify you." He had scarcely finished when Wolgast duplicated the punch again, catcning Ritchie below the belt.

Griffin stopped the fight and promptly awarded the fight to Ritchie. Avenue, North openings, Hardugu was nnvcr Letter than ycstnrluy.

When Hardage.

was not running with the bull he wa blocking as he never blocked before. -Many of Vanderbllt's best gains were made possible by the work of Hardage In netting a man clear out ot the way, giving his running mate a chance to clip off numerous yards. THE TURNING! POINT. Though Vanderbilt load throughout most of tho game. It was not until late In the third period that something happened which dually paved the way to the goal line.

This began by a piece of 111 luck. Collins was Injured and had to bo taken from the field. He was replaced by Shea. This Memphis product saw his chance to make a name for himself and leaped at said chance (no reference to Dr. Kirkland).

Shea not only made wad of ground himself that he seemed by his good work to instill a vast amount of confidence into the bucUiield. Turner at this time was playing fullback, Hikes having been taken out between the halves on account of an Injury to his shoulder. With the ball on her own 31-yard line Vanderbilt began a spectacular drill dnwn the field. Hardage, Turner and Shea tore off from one to five yards at a clip, with an occasional gain by Robins. Down toward the goal posts they kept goinpr until time was up for the third quarter when they had reached the 10-vard line.

The teams changed goals, and the procession eon- unuea. un ana on tney went, with tne Tiger team contending for every inch. The playing of both teams was something- barbaric in Its fierceness, thouRh there was a complete lack of anything which might be termed dirty football. It was simply twenty-two men fighting in every piay to tne last aitcn. uur.

Vanderbilt showed that the old finishing punch had returned, after a tem porary absence in the Auburn game. Vanderbllt's gains were made for the moBt part off tackle or through holes in the line which the hacks took like lightning. But as we were going on to say, Vanderbilt kept beating the Tigers back. Tho march continued to the C-yard line. Here Hardage took two yards, then one, and then was forced back.

After a hasty consultation, Robins drove Buddy Morgan into the line, and when the players were untangled tne Dan was just over the line, Tnen there arose a terrific din from the Van derbilt followers. Kvervhodv stood up. yelled, and went wild generally. Tom Brown kicked the gonl and the scoro was: vanderbilt 9, Sewanee 0. Previous to this Vnnderbilt had made a safety.

Tt was in the first qunrter that the safety was made. After Vanderbilt had started out with' a rush, she was hooded at the thlrty-ytrd line, where Rpwnnee took the ball. From that time until late in the ouatrer, the game was resorted to freourntlv hv hnth tefims. A events thus hHnpened. the ball got Into Sewanee's possession after a eood kick by Robins on her own four-vnrd Hue OH-lem was forced to punt 'from behind his foal line.

Stoney's pass was low, striking the ground b'nre It reschod Oillem. Then the bsll hounded past Dlllem and before he could recoved nd run It out. Knoch Brown had nn led him That was the first two points for Vsnderhllt. THE TjA ST TOUCHDOWN. Vanderbllt's last touchdown was essentially the same ta tho first, for it was made in almost Identically the same manner.

Afler seven mint exchanges, Robins got the better of GlUem's effort. The ball was Vanderbllt's on her own thtrty-flvo-yard line. From there for the second time, Hardage, Shea, Turner and Robins drove the ball all the way up the field to a touchdown without once losing It. In this series of nlays, Hardage's play was superhuman. He was hurt several times and tough evidently suffering much and being unable to go at his accustomed speed, he made up for everything that was lacklnt; by fighting for Ills ground.

When the hall was planted on Sewanee's ten -yard line, Hardage Immediately ripped oft six of the remaining yards. Next Robins called the famous split piny and Peck Turner shot ocross the line like a catapault before the Sewanee defense had diagnosed the play. Tom Brown kicked the goal and Bedlam again reigned supreme. VANDERBILT '8 BLOCKING. To her excellent blocking, Vanderbilt may attribute the success of yesterday's game.

On every play, the Sewanee players were shot out of the way, givlnr the runner a little time to get up speed mid take the openings, but at that, Sheldon and the other men in the defense for Sewanee did such steady work that the gains of the Commodores though sure, were short for the most part. While he was" in the gam Wilson Collins did some great work. He ran strong with the bait and ably assisted Hardage by his blocking. Ammle Sikes played only one-half of the game. He was Injured several times but would not b-o out In the first two periods.

However, between the halves when the team was being given instructions In Engineering halt, It was found that Slices was more severely Injured than was at first thought. Though Injured no one could have told that Slkes was suffering. He played his usual brilliant game on the offense and his reckless, daring, driving way on the defense. Several times his clashes with Sewanee men looked as though both men would be completely put out, but Am mire came back strong every time. Pack Turner went In at the beginning of the second half and played a splendid gnme.

He made a lot of ground and was conspicuous In the two great marches which Vanderbilt made, to her touchdowns, completing the last one by plunging four yaras. While the subject of blocking Is being discussed, the work of Robins must not be overlooked. He blocked every time, and handled the team like a veteran. Hp deserves a world nf credit for the finished fight he made nroinst heavy odds. His nana ung or punts, wbb par excellence.

Often Robins met the ball on the dead run, and not once dlJ he fumble. On one of Gillem's long punts Robins waited for It to go behind the goal, so that he might register a touchback, but the ball bounded off to the side, and In his attempt to get It Robins to.uched It, and put the Sewanee ends on side. Ho-y-ever, he followed It out of bounds and rescued It before a Tiger could turn the trick. Robins' own running from position was timelv and effective. LITTLE FUMBLING.

Neither Vanderbilt nor Sewanee did any Tumbling to amount to anything. Vanderbllt's few fumbles were received save one, while the Tigers lost their only fumble. The lesson at Birmingham taught the Commodores a lot, not the least of which was to hold to the ball. Of course fumbling forward passes -Is not classed as fumbling. Sewanee had good defense for the passes which McGugln had taught his men and only once did the Commodores complete, gaining but five yards un that one.

However, the continued passing by Vanderbilt made the Tiger defense weaker at the scrlmmaye line ai.d this resulted In gains for the Ccmmodorep. All of Sowanee's parses except one were short and was only the short ones DflH Nfr Tsunami I AD W0LGAST LOSES TO RITCHIE ON A FOUL (By Associated Press.) DALY CITY, Nov. Ritchie of San Francisco became the lightweight champion of the world oy defeating Ad Wolgast this afternoon at tho Daly City open-air arena. Referee Jim Grifln awarding him the decision after Wolgast had fouiod him twice. The champion had been sent to the floor In this round Ritchie, catching him with a right cross that came as unexpectedly as did the foul blows.

Wolgast tottered about the ring, but the Callfornian apparently lacked the power to land a finishing punch. Both men were strong at the end of the fifteenth round, and each had suffered considerable punishment, Ritchie presenting battered appearance. One of his eyes was entirely closed, and tho other partly so. The Hght was in Wolgast's favor up to the turning point In the sixteenth round: BAD WEATHER. When time was called today for the first preliminary to the Wolgast-Rltchle fight, a heavy pall of chilling fog hung over the arena, but the amphltheutre was Jammed to capacity.
