ON A SLIPPERY FIELD "Red" Rainey Bril-J liantly Boensch Vandy Best Gainer. IJV JACK XVB. Outrushlng the Commodores und playing them to a standstill in every department of the same, the of Tennessee eleven wan robbed of well- earned and deserved tie yesterday through falluro to kick a goal after touchdown. Evenly matched 'in speed and weight, tho two elevens 'fought fiercely and desperately throujth the sixty minutes ot play and tho Commodores felt themselves lucky to be able to claim a 7 to victory when tho final whistle sounded. It will go down on the records as a Vanderbilt triumph, but thoso that saw the game will concede that.

Tennessee was fully tho equal of the Commodbres In even department of play and when Carroll's kick after touchdown wavered and went wide of the uprights, the Orange and White was unfortunato to bo deprived of a tie that was rightly deserved. Showing a versatile attack and employing with much success, tho famous Minnesota shift, the Volunteers started the game with a rush and during' tho first period had the ball In Vandorbllfs territory a greater part of the time. "Red" Rainey, the little halfback of whom so much has been heard, was the mainstay of the Tennessee attack and the manner In whteh ho skirted the Vanderbilt ends as soon ns tho ball was put In play, threw consternation In the Vanderbilt camp. TENNESSEE SCORES FIRST. Getting tho ball on Vanderbilt's 45-yard line on a punt, Tennesseo whirled it down the field In a series of line-plunges and dashes around end, depending on the oluBlvo Rainey when a gain was badly needed and the spectators were dumb witlrsurprlse when the fiery-headed youth was given tho ball on Vanderbilt's 11-yard lino and skirted the opposing right end for a touchdown before the quarter was up.

With the speed of a deer, he eluded all Vanderbilt uicklers with tho exception of the mldgot Boensch, who made a dlvo at him, only to be shaken off as a cat would shako a rat. Tho touchdown was made at tho extreme eastern corner of tho Held and Carroll kicked out to May, who hoeled the pall easily. However, Carroll's kick went wide of tho crossbars and consequently lost the The quarter ended with Tennesseo lead-In? by one touchdown and the supporters of the Orange and Blue were 'wild with dpllght. But the Commodores, nothing daunted made tho host of their opportunities 'in the second period and under equally as sensational clrcumstancos the touchdown with a successful goal paved their colors from tho degradation of defeat. nnvAT.TV HF.r.PS VANDY.

while the linemen found trouble In charging well. Ah Tennessee's offensive power centered around Rainey. so was that or in Commodores constructed around Horcie Boensch, the 137. pound quarterback, who nover played a more brilliant game than yesterday from an offensive standpoint. Boensch was the chief and only consistent ground gainer of the Commodores, and his repeated dashes around the opposing ends for from five to twenty-flyo.

yards kept the crowd in a continual thrill. With the speed of a dcor, this lit no youth would skirt the Tennessee flanks with splendid', imcnerunue, uuu to be the only man that tho Orange and Blue defense could not stop consistently. His work In forward passing and receiving passes was also good. Boensch a nervousness, which nanmcappeu mm wi the Michigan game, fluents to nave tlrelv disappeared, and he should be the I mainstay of -the attack In. tho two hard i games to come.

t-orwajw Vanderbilt's chief lift stubborn visitors was, In forward pass-', Ins, and In this Important feature 'of the new game they showed more ability, although at that they not live up to expectations. Vanderbilt tried the frontward heave fourteen times, bclnc; successful In. four attempts, while Tennesesco got away with the play but once in nine attempts. But for the forward pass Vanderbilt would undoubtedly not havu scored, as It wa8 via the air line route that the ball was carried over the last chalk line In the third quarter by Hon. Enoch Brown.

Boensch had a decided edge over Carroll In kicking, averaging somethlnc under forty yards, while Carroll was but a little above thirty. Despite the final score, tho Co mm ou ores showed Improvement over their work against Virginia, the linemen especially showing the result of the hard work they have received at tho hands of tho coaches. Tom Whtto and Warren at th; tackles were highly satisfactory, while Huffman at center played the game of his life In spite of an Injured knee. He showed much fight and broke through tho Tennessee line time and nguln to down the runner for a loss. S.

Turner did well for the short while he was In the llno-up. Putnam's work, both offensivo and defensive, was of major league caliber. Ho was more noticeable on thn defens. in backing1 up the line and his fierm tackling stopped the Tennesseo backs time and ngaln for a loss. Reyer and Askew, who got a chance to play before the game was over, also played satisfactory ball.

As a whole the Une situation Is more encouraging and thero Is hopo for It doing still bettor before the Auburn came. Tom White and Warren, although new to tho tncklo positions, showed a good ueai or Btrcngcn ana ugurcu in a number of plays. White showing up especially well In breaking up off-tackle runs. Vfinrierbllt'H star end and cantaln. E.

Brown, never played a more brilliant game, and his tackling and getting clown under punts was of the most brilliant typo. Rainey was tho scintllatlng light for the Volunteers, but their entire back-field performed creditably at all times, Thomason and Dawson, who relieved Rainey, being especially good ground-rrnlnern. Carroll and McCluro -on tho ends were unusually strong, while the linemen were aggressive and strong. Carroll, who is a local boy, did all of the punting, and also proved a fairly good ground-gainer on the fake punt. He Is a very promising player, and-moro will be heard of him before hls-football career Is ended.

May at quarter ran his team with fine judgment, and also re turned punts effectively. THE FIRST QUARTER.
