While many local fans believed Auburn would win by a neat score, yet there were a few who were placing their coin on Vanderbllt The sole entertainment planned for the fans on Walt field "was a scrappy game between the seniors and freshmen, two class foot ball teams at the "hill." Followers each of these elevens expected victory.

However, the odds favored the freshmen, because many members of that team belong to the "scrubs" and have been practicing during the entire season. While the class teams were expected to get busy at the "hill" the University of Tennessee squad was down In Birmingham watchingt the Vanderbilt-Auburn melee. The "scrubs" were off on a visit to Asheville. where a game had been scheduled with the Bingham school eleven. Now For Kentucky Stats.

Stanley Houghton Is one of the youngest and most brilliant of the new gereatlon of English playrighti. Several of his short plays have already been done In this country, and The Younger Generation" scored a success In New York quite rscently. 'Independent Means" is one of his ear ier and better works, the principal role being assumed by Maude Leslie, one of the talented members of the new company tnat has recently beeen established in Chicago. Miss Leslie Is rated a comedienne of rare ability, and her dramatic work excited praise from Sir Herbert Tree with whom she was long associated in London. In "Independent Means she has the role of a headstrong and yet well balanced young woman of independent ideas.

Although the "thin red Una" won by field goals only, yet it was a victory, and victories and defeats are what count in football games as well as other games. According to reports from Tuscaloosa both teams were about eveny matched, and it was anybody's victory until the last whistU whistled. Costly fumbling on the p.rt of the Volunteers wan largely responsible for their defeat.

Anyhow, no matter how much Tennessee Is ths favorite in these annual battles at Birmingham or Tuscaloosa, Alabama always manages to nose out a victory. There was one consolation for the Volunteers Friday afternoon. They were to go to Birmingham Saturday, where they croected to see Auburn trim Vanderbllt. "Dad" Dawson's Work.

"When the Tennessee -lven gets back to camp it will have a r.ither extended rest or a viongated practice session before stacking up against Kentucky State Thanksgiving day at Lexington.

Tennessee will no doubt need ths time, for that Kentucky team is going to be a difficult bunch to down. However, here's hoping for a Volunteer victory lust to see how victory would feel, anyhow. Kentucky Here Next Year. And while one is discussing this same Kentucky State team It might be well to recall the fact that the Bluegrass eleven will pirform in Knoxvllle on Thanksgiving day, 19H. If Tennessee should have a successful season next fall, there is little question but that Knoxvllle would turn out ths crowd.

AUGUSTA, Nov. 16. Miss Edith Thayer surprised an Augusta audience, practically the capacity of the Grand theater, last night. Thev had been told she was making a hit all along the circuit, but they were not prepared for the surprise they enjoyed. The quality of Miss Thayer's voice Is lmrressed upon her hearers by the little lady's dimlnu-tlveness, almost as much as by the sweetness of tone and roundness of notes.

Without detracting one bit from an excellently balanced company, Miss Thayer Impressed her audience as being a very good part of "The Fire Fly" production. She is destined to be heard of in the theatrical world, after this open warfare Is waged upon the new rival by the two older big leagues. Carr has been non-commltal on the subject. But it is believed he would consider the right kind of an offer. The selection of a president would have been made when the Federal magnates met in secret session In Indianapolis November 1, but It was decided that time for consideration should be given to the managers of the two new teams, Buffalo and Baltimore.

which were admitted at this gathering. Chance, It is known, will trade Ford, Knight, McHale and Cree, If he can see his way clear. When the season closed he said that he intended to keep Sweeney as he didn't know how he could get a better catcher. The fact that Ban Johnson during the world's series repeated his prediction that the New Yorks would have "one of the greatest outfields In the American League next season" Is ground for the belief that he knows something about the plan to shift Speaker here if the Detroit club can have sufficient playing-talent to make up for the loss of Cobb. It Is known that Cobb is tired of Detroit and anxious to be traded to a larger city; and also that Speaker is somewhat dissatisfied with his surroundings In Boston, due to the release of Jake Stahl last summer and the appointment of Carrigan as Stahl's By Monty BOSTON, Nov.

15. Reports of coming big trades in the American league are circulating here with some wealth of details. Although the Jugglers with names of players and managers are not always successful in supporting their statements with corroboration from official sources, there seems to be much truth behind the- rumor that Tris Speaker will go to Chance's New York Americans, Ty Cobb come here, and perhaps other players figure in a three cornered trade. President Farrell, of the New Yorks and Chance do not conceal their eagerness to bring Speaker to the metro-polls. Navln, president of the Detroit club, recently said he would trade Cobb for Speaker, but no other transactions would look good to htm.

It is pretty well known that great efforts are being made to bring Ty here. Ban Johnson is said to have conceived the triple swing. Chance, it Is reported, will send half a dozen player to Detroit, In order to got Cobb lent to Boston, and Speaker released by Boston to New Yor. Among those mentioned as Chance's sacrifice to Detroit are Ford, Sweeney, Cree. McHale, Knight, and Walsh.

If Eddie Collins should suddenly quit the American league, or retire permanently from baseball, why then Ray Morgan, of Washington, would be the best second gaseman in the circuit.
