Pennsylvania's only score was the first period. caught a Michigan punt near his own goal line, dodged a Wolverine end and three times wrenched himself loose from tacklers- He finally was downed on Michigan's 43-yard line, uud a moment later Matthews drop-kicked a goal from field. Michigan's first touchdown, in the second period, was partly the result of Tucker's poor punt, which went out of bounds 011 Pennsylvania's line. Cattlet made the score and Hughttt kicked goal. Then Michigan opened up.

Fake kicks, delayed passes and lorn forward passes from complicated positions, seemed to demoralize Pennsylvania's secondary defense. Benton made the second touchdown and Muulbetsch the third. Splawn's long punts, which kept Pennsylvania on the defense during the second period, also were effective in the third. Hughitt and Maulbetsch each made a touchdown. The game was rough and each team suffered many penalties.

Michigan's line held like steel, and Pennsylvania made most of its gains on forward passes and funning back punts. dores puleld themselves together and staged one of the best uphill fights ever seen on Dudley field. only; to he nosed out by such a narrow margin. However, there were no alibis to offer, for it is generally admitted that the better teom won this year, whether it did last season or not. Tennessee rooters went wild with joy when the whistle put an end to the gnme, fearing Vanderbilt to the end.

Thev rushed out on the field in wild excitement to hoist the players on their shoulders and shower them with blessings. Later the entire Orange and White rooting section marched to town in a body, cheering and singing. There were over four thousand enthusiastic spectators at the game, many of them wearing Tennessee colors. POWERFUL LINE ATTACK. Though Tennessee's fast backs skirted Hie Commodores' ends with much success.

it was a powerful line attack on which they relied in their straight marches up the' field, which were made in nearly every quarter. In addition to Lindsay, who was a very effective fullback.

However, once within striking distance, the visitors found the Vander-Wllt defense stronger than they reckoned upon, for thev were never able to rush the ball over bv straight footbnll. In tho third period they carried the ball to Vanderbilt's three-yard line, but with two downs to negotiate the distance, found themselves unable to gain an inch, Vanderbilt's linemen throwing them back on both occasions.

VANDY OFFENSE IMPROVES. Vanderbilt showed a much better offense than against Virginia, Curry being ably assisted in carrying the ball by the other backs. Vanderbilt relied chiefly on end runs and knifing runs off tackle, on which they were exceedingly effec- (Continued on Next Page.) PE FINAL SCORE IS 16 TO 14 Each Team Makes Two Touchdowns, Carroll's Goal Placement Deciding. BY JACK NYE. Tennessee's fondest' hope was realized when that team for the first time in history defeated the Commodores yesterday afternoon on Dudley field in a game that for closeness and thrilling features has had no rival in S.

I. A. A. circles this season. The final score of 1G to 14 is the best witness to the evenness of the struggle, which finally eliminated the McGugin machine from the championship, and is sure to leave the title in dispute, unless the Commodores take the measure of Auburn next Saturday at Birmingham.

Tfioujch robbed of their brightest star, Red Rainey, tho Knoxvillians showed a powerful offense from first to last, and, thanks to the coaching of "Brute" Pontius, who ib fresh from "Hurry-Up" Yost's eleven, outdid the Commodores in the use of the forward pass, which proved to be t'he undoing of the local brigade. Each team scored two touchdowns, Tennessee missing one goal, their margin of two points being directly responsible to tho accurate toe of Alonzo Carroll, Btar end, who booted the oval through from the 30-yard line, after May had made a fair catch of Sikes' punt from behind his own goal line. Though Tennessee was lending by one touchdown at the time, it proved later that this goal from placement saved their akin, as the Commodores came from behind and scored another touchdown in the third period, which, with the successful goal, would have given them a lead of one point. PASSES BEWILDER VANDY. Whereas both of Vanderbilt's touchdowns came as the result of straight football, Tennessee relied.

on the forward in which they showed themselves to be A long pass in the first four minutes of play caught the Commodores napping, and again in the second period, after the bull had been rushed into striking distance, another well concealed pass caught the defense asleep and nestled into Carroll's arms over the goal lino. In direct contrast to t'he work of Tennessee was that of Vanderbilt, who tried the pass repeatedly.but were unsuccessful on every occasion. One of the unique features of t'he engagement was the fact that all of Tennessee's points were made by Carroll, whose work at end. featured the day. This Nashville boy received both of the forward passes over the goal line, kicked one.

goal after touchdown and scored the winning points when he negotiated a beautiful goal from placement in the third Curry came near duplicating this feat for Vanderbilt, making the two touchdowns, but Cody kicked thegoals.

He was the hardest man on the field to stop, sweeping the ends once -or thirty -five yards, again for twenty-five yards and in the second period dashing through the lint' for twenty yards and a touchdown. For Tennessee Lindsay, the big Volunteer fullback, hiked the plgsklu along for 04 vards, which was the best individual effort of the Teunesseaus, although Quarterback May was close behind him with SI yards. Vanderbilt suffered but onece from a penalty, receding a 15-yard setback in the final quarter, while Tennessee lost yo yards through Infraction of the rules, 5 yards being taken from them once for delaying the game. SIDELINES NYE The officiating of "King" Cole and Mc-Callle was all that could he desired.

Cole is a former Michigan tackle and played alongside of Dan McGugin la "them good, old days." Vanderbilt might have won 1C Bayer had ily hit Yunk again. on We had heard a good deal about Vowell and will now admit that he Is a considerable end. We can't help mentioning the fact that wu went to school with Alnnzo Carroll, but that was before he became great. Sikes Is coming back. Boh Turner surprised everybody with his abllltv to shake off tacklers yesterday and looks to be tbe other halfback.

Here's for the Tiger in every game, save the one on Turkey Day. Ten to nothing Harvard licks Yale. We have a sneaking suspicion that Tennessee lias a bett3r team than Alburn, in which case Vanderbilt has a good chance tovwin a game next Saturday.

"Rabbit" Curry was agnlu the star In ALONG THE By TACK We ari now convinced that those wild rumors about the strength of Tenneeeee were not exaggerated, as that team was even stronger, than had been anticipated.

With an unusually strong and powerful line and a couple of fine ends, Clevenger's backs had a good chance to get started and, once under way, they were hard to head. Commodore supporters are possibly offering up a prayer of thanks in secret that little "Fluuie" Rainey was not in the line-up. Tennessee looks like the best team In the S. I. A.

A. minus "Red," who is one of the fastest backs In' the entire south. Rainey is still hors du combat with a twisted ankle, but will probably start against Sewanee next Saturday. This being true we haste to extend our condolence to Harris Cope et als. Not that we underrate Sewanee, but they will have to show wonderful power to beat a team of Tennessee's' mould.

Tennessee was lucky this year to have some veteran material, every member of the having several years of experience. This, together with their Individual Is part the secret of success, but It was plainly evident that they were coached to the minute, having one of the strongest attacks a S- I. A. A. team has uncorked on Dudley field In some time.

There wus both power and speed and the team was run with splendid judgment. -r Unless Vanderbilt can down Auburn Saturday, it looks us though Tennessee will dispute the claim Donohue's men have on the title and If this should eom to pass, we are In favor of a post-season game to decide the championship. If the S. I. A.

A. can produce a better' fullback than Lindsay, a better end than Carroll or a hotter tackle than Kelly, let cm produce. Yunk Chester played a game ut end yesterday that anyone should be proud of. Rabbit Curry is JuRt about the best ground-gainer in the The only difference between the Vanderbilt and Tennessee forward passes was that it was always' evident when Vandy was going to heave one, whereas Tennessee covered theirs up splendidly. Another difference was that Tennessee's were successful.

BEING By "BLINICEY" -HORN. it was our intention, if our argument had been-convinclng to Mr. John Nye, to throw-a fmaritle charity over the Commodore-Volunteer melee and pay no attention to the "fac's 'n Aggers," be-oauso viewing the dope from every angle that we tried, we never could arrive at any point where' we felt safe in picking out some alibi for the MeGuglnmen. it gets kinder monotonous to write about the Commodores being "outrushed and always some visitor being the star ot the matinee," and coupled with that we felt pretty damn bad after the game was oyer, and said us much to Mr.

Nye. Mr. Nye, who never swears, said "me, too." Almost anyway you go about it you have to admit that the Commodores -were outplayed by the pesky Knoxvillians, who violated the traditions of years and year- by winning from the McCugin clan. Just about the time you begin to console Yourself nvnc tlm iom i i c.i, "yumis jiuiuit3 aiKUB was aomg some mighty, fancy punting all through the matinee, suddenly the big too of Mr. Carroll looms up there In that' third quarter when he shot a goal from placement, and, more or less blurs your vision.

Blurs your vision unless you happened to be wearing yellow and white ribbons for the greater part of Saturday afternoon, and that being the case, Mr. Carroll is more or less a hero in your opinion. There are some people who think that Mr. Carroll ought to be deeded several acres in Knoxvllle, all that sort ot thing, and we know two people who didn't hesitate to tell us as much. We have It on very good authority that Mr.

McGugin would shed mighty few tears if Mr. Carroll took a sudden aversion to Dudley field and never did come back at all. It just shows the difference In opinion. SIKES' GOOD PUNTING. All the time that Capt! Sikes was out there booting the oval about the lot for a grand average of 38.

yards, Capt. Kelly was doing his level best to hang on to tho slim average of 27 yards. We would like to write a lot about that because Its about the only department in which the Commodores excelled. But five times did the Commodore' captain select to punt but In those five attempts he shot the oval for 190 yards. Ammle's best effort was In the second period when he drove the pigskin out of bounds for GO yards.

So fast did the. Commodore ends come down under Sikes1 boots, and so perfect was his form that but one punt was returned. Captain- Kelly for Tennessee punted eight times for a total of 211 yards, Riving him an average of 27 yards. The Commodores returned the Tennessee captain's punts for a total of 56 Kelly was very weak with his bpots in the fourth period when in four uttemptB ho could pile up but 06 yards, as compared to 125 yards which Sikes netted in the first period in three trials. Passing from the punting feature things look rather black for the Commodores.

For Instance, the Kast Tenuesseans made eighteen first downs on the McGugin crowd, who could move the sticks on the sidelines but fourteen times. In the first period 'Vanderbilt made four first downs, while the Knoxvillians went them the better. Two first downs for Tennessee to' every one for Vanderbilt was tbe record in the second period when Coach Clevenger's warriors made a half dozen first downs against three for the Commodores. Vanderbilt made but two first, downs in the third period, while Tennes- see made five, "but In the final quarter the tables were turned by the Commodores, who made five to the Knoxvllle eleven's two. VANDY By a scant 35 yards the Kast Tennes-.

seans outrushed the Commodores. In the distance gained by Tennessee is included that made through two forward passes which netted tho Knoxvillians ,40 -yards. In actual rushing the oval from scrimmage formation the Commodores were better tha nthe visitors by. 5 yards. In the opening period the 'commodores' played the Clevenger machine, almost to a standstill, the Commodores netting 80 yards, while Tennessee packed, the pigskin for 87 yards.

Commodores wire outrushed almost three yards to one In the second quarter, making only 3D vards from formation, while Tennessee crossed the chalkmarks for, a total. of 102 Kinwla nnan tha VialO lhA turn elevens seesawed with but little to. choose between them In rushing, the Commodores making 56 yards, which was three better than Tennessee. But" in the final period the Commodores came to life and piled up 97 yards, while Tennessee made but 35 yards, of little more than one-third the total distance gained by Vanderbilt. But while the Commodores were able actually to gain more their rushes were not half so consistent as Tennessee's, and time after time the ball was lost on fourth downs for failure to gain a few scanty feet Neither Was the Commodore attack as varied as that ot Clevengar's clan, who executed their for THE.
