And so on Into the night. LEXINGTON, Oct. 10 Displaying unexpected offensive power, Kentucky's Wildcats troun-ed the Generals from Washington a-1 Lee Impressively here Saturday by the score of 45 to 0. Coach Harry Gamage's athlet- -crushed the visitors with an op-a style' game and It was a one-sided contest except at the start of ti.a first period, when the Generels threatened with a series of damage then sent in his shock troops, using practically the entire squad after the first quarter. 'Shipwreck" Kelly, the Flash, aaw action in only a part of the game, but he demonatra--! he would be a serious menace this season.

After Capt Bailey and Martin, ft half of the Generals, had completed a aeries of long passes to confound the Wildcats, Kelly grabbed Ball -pass on Kentucky's four-yard and ran with perfect interferen- through the entire field for a touch down. After that it was Kentucky' game. Kelly made his second touchdown in the first plunging through the line after skirting the Generals' end for a 87-yard dash. Urbaninks pass to Kelly in the second period for a 27-yard gain put Kentucky scoring position and Phipps hit the line for goal. Thipps got loose for a 49-yard run later.

There never was one minute of rest for the Aggies.

They were beaten down in the line and cut to pieces at the flanks. Only the savage play of Tutor, Page, Brown, Wright and Thompson kept the Crimsons from rolling up 200 points. Coach Thomas took mercy on the Aggies by keeping Ills varsity on the aide line with the exception of the second period, when the regulars scored two touchdowns. Alabama showed its finest blocking of the season and an improvement in tackling Holley's passing was a thing of Joy and a warning to Ten-, nessee and Vanderbilt. The second Alabama backfield looked much better than the first, Walker, Chappell, Long and Moseley working together like veterans.

They passed, galloped around the ends, cut back in the line and were seldom ever stopped on the line of scrimmage. Hewes' play at center guarantees the Crimsons a good reserve pivotman. Alabama scored twice In the first, three times in the second, twice in the third and onoe in the fourth. The Crimsons took out 68, 75, 80, 66, 62, 16, 70 and 43-yard snatch for their touchdowns. Bubbor Walker and Chappell ran the Aggie goofy In the first period and it was Holley who had the boys wondering what to expect next in the second period.

When the Aggies expected him to pass he ran with the ball and when they looked for him on wide end runs he was sneaking across the middle of the line. The Crimsons sprung the Notre Dame flying wedge on their return of punts and kickoffs and rattle of the crashing into bone could be heard in the stands. Alabama again has terrific blocking and tackling. When they hit the man stays put. Alabama was never in danger of being-scored upon.

Only once did the Aggies get possession of the ball between Alabama's 40 and 60-yard line, and the defense thrown up by the Crimson forced the Aggies to punt. Big Ben Smith's flagging of passes was sensational. Ho pulled them in from the right and he flagged them from the left. And when he started to gallop it required a flock of Aggies to stop him. Thomas also showed Tennessee scouts a pair of nice pass-snatchers In Leach and Dotherow, not to mention four backs ho were taking in heaves by Chappell and Holley.

Aggies Nevsr Quit About all that can be said about the Aggies was that they never quit fighting. They showed they had the old stamina until the last, halting a Crimson drive on their 30-yard line as the game ended. The Crimsons churned up 21 first downs to A. three, turning up more than 700 yards on slashing tackle plays, wide, sweeping end runs and forward passes. In their over-anxiousness, the Maroons drew 90 yards in penalties to Alabama's 25.

A terrific and unkind sun beat down on 6,000 spectators, who tried to shield their faces with newspapers, and there were many times out for both teams. No man could have stood the Inferno without love for his old alma mater. Inhabitants of the press box fried eggs on the top of spectators sitting below them. Frank Thomas turned the starting assignment over to his shock troops and they produced two touchdowns in the first period. The Crimsons scored within five minutes of play, driving 58 yards with Bubber Walker and Leon Long, doing the muscling.

Walker set the touchdown machinery in motion with a cut back into the line and Long and Chappell drilled out 10 over the middle of the line.

Moseley failed to convert BT CHARLIE BROWN Special Writr DOTHAN, Ala, Oct 10 Birmingham-Southern defeated Stetson here Saturday afternoon 20-0 in Midsummer weather which slowed up the play of both teams.

The play was in Stetson's territory most of the time. Birmingham-Southern took the ball toward the end of the first quarter after Stetson had tried the line three times and kicked out of bounds on their own 42-yard line. They made first down on three plays at the line. A 20-yard pass, Briner to Blanton, who ran 12 yards to cross the goal in the corner of the field, scored the first touchdown. Briner kicked goal.

Toward the end of the third quarter Birmingham-Southern again took the ball on Stetson's 29-yard line and on an off-tackle play Briner made first down. Another pass. Briner to Blanton, was completed but Blanton was forced out of bounds on ptet-son's four-yard line. On the first play Briner plunged over for the second score and picked goal. Plqy in the last quarter was very slow with frequent penalties for offside aqd extra time out -for both sides.

Stetson was trying hard to score, breaking loose with three and four attempted passes every time they got possession of the ball. They worked tho ball down to Ilirming-ham-Sputherns 23-yard line but four passes failed and they lost the ball and hopes of scoring. Johnson Grabs Pass Blanton drove the ball deep Into Stetson's territory with a kick on which there was no return. Stetson again started to flinging passes in desperate fashion. Johnson grabbed one of StetBons wild passes on the 34-yard line and raced to the one-yard line where he was forced out of bounds.

On the next play Johnson finished the Job by plunging over for the last score. Briner missed goal. With only two minutes to play Birmingham-Southern kicked to Stetson. They again resorted to desperate passes but Johnson was on the Job aid Intercepted on his own 48-yard line for the last play of the game. Stetson showed a strong line on the defense but their offense could never get going.

They had some nifty passes but except for the one time in which they got to Southern's 23-yard line, they were forced to use this style of attack from deep in their own territory and Southern profited more from this line of play than did the passers.

Burning Blaze Too Hot For Rivals In Maryland Stakes BALTIMORE, Md Oct 10 Burning Blaze, sensational colt that races for the Nash Brothers, Pat and Richard, of Chicago, showed the way over six furlongs In the 310,000 Richard Johnson stakes at Laurel Saturday. Tlie triumph, achieved over many of tho East's best and George Wingfield's Hygro from the Western owned Nevada stock farm, was the second important stake victory for Burning Blaze since he made his Eastern debut at Havre de Grace.

Worth $13,225 to his Chicago owners, the score sent Burning Blaze's total earnings to 882,725, the majority of which was picked up in the Post and Paddock stakes at Arlington Park, the Eastern Shore at Havre de Grace and Saturdays race. Although C. V. Whitneys Top Flight, generally rated as the best of the two-year-old division, was not in the field, the triumph was probably the outstanding juvenile performance of tho year. Carrying the crushing Impost of 130 pounds and high weight of tho party of 15, Burning Blaze was forced to circle his field after being outpaced for the first three furlongs.

G. Waller missed goal. Score, Vanderbilt 6, Auburn 0. The remainder of the first quarter was taken In punting with Vanderbilt making an occasional thrust, netting them three first downs but nothin more. Auburn did not attempt a single play from scrimmage other than to punt, kicking on first down each time they got their hands on the ball.

Vanderbilt made seven first downs In the period. Auburn Tries Advance At the beginning of the second quarter, with the ball on Vanderbilt's 47-yard line. Turner made Auburn's first attempt to gain by a six-yard thrust at the line, but succeeding plays failed and they again took up their kicking tactics. Reese lost on two tries and Vanderbilt drew a five-yard penalty which forced Bryan to punt from his own 26-yard line. The ball went out of bounds about 10 yards in front of the line of scrimmage.

On the first play Turner tossef to Green over the goal for Auburns first down and a touchdown. Williams took Newsomes place and put his team in the lead with the goal after touchdown. After another exchange of punts, Vanderbilt took the ball on Auburn's 45-yard lino and In three first downs in rapid succession put the ball on Auburn's 9-yard line, but an incomplete pass over the goal ended the half 7-6 In Auburn's favor. Auburn had run with the ball on only six plays from scrimmage formation and had made one first down on Its only attempt'at a forward pass. The third quarter was played on almost even terms, Auburn making three first downs, one on plunges by Green and Turner and two on passes.

Vanderbilt made two first downs, one on a run by Spears, who had entered the game despite his injured leg, and one on a pass, Spears to McKibbon. Vanderbilt was held for downs on Auburns 32-yard line and Aubqrn kicked to Vanderbilt's 40-yard line to end the quarter, Score: Auburn 7, Vanderbilt 6. Field Goal Gains Edge Shortly after the beginning of the last period, with a few thrusts Intervening, a long punt by Vanderbilt and a short one by Auburn gave the tall to Vanderbilt on Auburn's 42-yard line. A short pass and a penalty put the ball on Auburns 32-yard line from whore Spears dropped back and booted a dropklck between the uprights to put Vanderbilt in the lead, 9-7. Auburn kicked off and Reese brought it back past the middle of the flpld, but almost immediately another short kick, going out of bounds for about six yards, gave the ball to Auburn on Her own 37 -yard line, from where Green got oft a beautiful kick to Reese on his own 12 -yard line.

From here started the longest sustained drive of the game. On runs by Spears, Hendrix and Reese and passes, McKibbon to Reese, Vanderbilt made five successive first downs to carry the ball to Auburn's three-yard line, where the valiant Auburn line held for downs. A short kick soon gave the ball to Vanderbilt on Auburns 15-yard line, but an incomplete pass over the goal gave the ball to Auburn on her own 20-yard line. Fireworks Open Up Here where the dynamite was tossed into tho melee and the tale that follows will bfc told and retold wherever old Tiger stars meet as always happens when football has-beens get together, Tuxworth faked a run and tossed 25 yards to Green. Reese came in like a flash In an effort to intercept the pass, leaving the field open behind him.

Green's height enabled him to take the ball over the ducky little Vanderbilt safety man, and off down the field he sped with only ''Nig Waller chasing him In what seemed a forlorn hope. By some miracle of speed Waller overtook Green and downed him on Vanderbilts 6-yard line. On the first play Auburn was offside and the penalty put the ball In a good position for Williams, who kicked a field goal to put Auburn one up. The Auburn stands went wild. So far as they were concerned, the game was over, for there was time for only two plays.

Auburn kicked off to Nig" Waller, who brought it back 18 yards ttf his own 42-yard line. A desperate pass by McKibbon was Intercepted on Auburn's 24-yard line by Williams, who brought it back to midfield, hut the timer's whistle had blown and wiped out the Inst hopes of the Commodores.

Howard Chappell dashed off 23 yards In one whirling exhibition and Long planted the ball on the Aggies' 47-yard line. Hillman Holley, the hlp-per, found a caveln over his left side and broke loose for a 47-yard run without a hand being laid on him.

Varsity Adds Two The varsity took over the situation in the second period and added two more touchdowns through the wavering ranks of the light Aggie eleven. Holley tossed a pass to Dotherow for 30 of the yanjs and finished up the march with a personally of 26 yards. The Aggies put the Crimsons deep in their own territory With a free punt, following a fair catch. Holley and Bon Smith took the air for Alabamas fourth touchdown. Holley heaved a 32-yard pass to Ben Smith and the big boy was off to the races, slipping with a clear field ahead.

Holley gave Smith another chance to make his touchdown and he took a 16-yard pass out of the air and skidded across on his ear. Oh, yes, it was his ear. Alabama pulled a Notre Dame trick out of the bag to score her fifth touchdown. Whitworth got off a perfect on-side kick and Laslio fell on the ball on the Aggies 49-yd line. Joe Causey ripped off 14 yards around his right end and after failing to locate a pass receiver, Holley gained three yards.

Smith raced across with his second touchdown after taking a pass from Holley, good for 34 yards. Whitworth missed goal with the half up. Interference Perfect Thomas started his second team in the third period and after an offside penulty, annulled a 65-yard run the extra point. The Aggies killed off a Crimson drive that was gathering momentum as the third period ended, Brown intercepting a forward pass on his 11-yard line. Thomas sent in Hughes for Moseley and Bellini for Walker in the fourth period.

Subs Start Early The fourth period wasnt three minutes old before the second stringers ran up their fifth touchdown. Thompson punted and when the Aggies were penalized 15 yards for holding, the ball was put In play on the Maroons' 33 -yard line. Chappell and Hughes In two bucks went 15 yards and Long scooted for a touchdown, but tho Crimsons were off side. Causey gained five and Long got away for 17. Again the Crimson drew a five penalty and Causey went seven yards after being tackled.

Hughes ploughed over his right guard for the eighth touchdown. Las-lie failed to convert. The faltering Aggies generated enough power to start what looked like a drive, a 15-yard penalty halting them after they had traveled from their 40-yard line to Alabama 49. And when Brown punted, Bellini took tho ball on Alabama's 46-yard line, five Aggies hitting him. Leon Long, the wild bull, broke loose for 20 yards and was hurt when spilled by Page.

Long left the game under his own power. Demyanovich bucked 10 yards and when Causey failed to gain, the Aggies held the Crimsons for downs on their 10 -yard line.

This it the tecond artiul a series written by ruatli Brown, former line tar Vanderbilt and football coach, on thrilling finishes ho has witnessed. Tbit it weekly feature eicluslrifly in The Newt and brings back memories to old grails of epic football battles. BY CHARLIE BROWN The Auburn-Vanderbilt football game of 1925 was not only a gripping game berauso of its last-minute finish but was doubly Interesting from the standpoint of its many reversals. First, it wbr a reversal of Vanderbilt's last-minute victory over Auburn in 1916. Second, it was a reversal In the usual tactics of the two teams.

Vanderbilt, against Auburn, always kicked and waited for a break, then took to the air or used some other startling play in her victories over her ancient rival while Auburn had generally depended on Its rush-j lng game and conservative football for It wins over Vanderbilt. In this game the two teams seemed to have swapped tactics. And third, it was a reversal of the mental attitude that the two teams had had In their 1916 game Auburn had abandoned the Dona-' hue system, which had often carried them to the heights, and had taken on Morey us director of their foot- i ball hopes. Morey evidently knew his foolbnll stuff, and. had he adopted different tactics In his contacts inis' friends and opponents, would no doubt have had wonderful success in the South.

Tho history of successes affords few instances where tlie individual ran alter circumstances and adapt situations to fit himself rather than the other way around. Evenly Matched The two teams were pretty evenly matched. Vanderbilt had been alternately lirilllaYit and mediocre and both teams had suffered two defeats at the hands of Conference foes. Georgia had romped on Auburn, 84-0, and on Aanderbilt, 26-7, while Vanderbilt had held the smashing Georgia Tech team, with her vicious iine-assaultlng power, to a 7-0 score. Vanderbilt laid gone Into the Southwest Conference and defeated the powerful Texan University, 14-6, while the same team had lambasted Auburn, 38-0.

Patterson, Auburns regular center, was out with a broken hand. Spears, triple-threat dependence of Vanderbilt, was almost Incapacitated with bum leg. The betting odds greatly favored Vanderbilt and the players, in spite of the coaches admonitions. got the 'usual spirit of over -confidence that comes before a fall. The Auburn team was pervaded with determination.

The game started oft' with Vanderbilt almost rushing Auburn off its feet. Starting on their own 30-yard line, a pass, G.
