Yet how could such a thing be any more fantastic than Alabama's dizzy fall? But there'll come a day and that is what worries Alabama's opponents including Tennessee here today The Tide isn't likely to be obliged to bear the humiliation of two consecutive winless seasons Alabama has played and lost three games this year but has shown improvement each week It's a big hard-hitting team It remains eager for the taste of triumph Convincing proof of that was the 245 yards rushing and 21 first downs amassed in the 23-6 defeat by Texas Christian last Saturday You don't do that against Tctr or anybody without a desire to win Coach Ears Whitworth says' "The defense against Tell' was by far the beet we have had We're getting better" Whitworth made several late week changes in his lineup Sophomore Dive Sington son of All-American Fred Sington will start his first game at right tackle replacing Glenn Graham Robert Bookmeler another sophomore will replace Don Holcomb at left guard Senior Max Kelley will open at fullback in place of Don Kinderknecht ping so far?

Foe At Homecoming Connnodores' Don Orr Out I By DUDLEY GREEN WHEN THE TIME comes to sing Alma Mater between halves at Dudley Field today the Vanderbilt crowd will come forth with "On The City's Western Border" Two other Southeastern Conference members Alabama and Georgia use the same tune as do dozens of other colleges and no telling how many high schools Originally the song was "Annie Lisle" a rather-mushy ballad of War Between the States days according to musique critique Roberto Sebastian Phillips of the Birmingham Post Herald Nobody seems to know which college has prior claim to the tune but certainly it must have been used first in the East I always had credited it to Cornell where the title is "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" However I'm told that Syracuse also has a claim the name there being the less-famous "Where The Vale of Onondaga The words to Vanderbilt's Alma Mater were composed in the early 1900's by a great all-round athlete Bob Blake of the class of 1907 Other college songs of which "Annie Lisle" is the musical base are: "Close Beside the Winding Cedars (Michigan State) "Close Beside Cuyahoga's Waters (University of Akron) 'On the Shores of South Carolina (The Citadel) "Far Above the Walnut Valley" (Southwestern) "Living Symbol of Our City" (University of Toledo) "Midst the Mountains of the Westland" (Seattle Pacific) "Where the Hills of Pennsylvania" (Washington and Jefferson) "Where the Blue Ridge Yawns Its Greatness" (Clemson) At Vanderbilt main change in the singing of Alma Mater over the past 30 years is that the sopranos altos and tenors are

DR JOHN TIGERT greatest Southern fullback of his era Vanderbilt graduate Rhodes Scholar long-time member of the university's board of trust former University of Florida president and for two terms the head of the Southeastern Conference finds it a particularly pleasant homecoming with two of his teams playing But what must be most satisfying of all to Dr Tigert is to see his plan of the open athletic scholarship adopted by the Southeastern Conference in 1936 now being copied throughout the nation If you could just remember how it was condemned and hooted at 20 years ago! But within recent years it has been put into effect in the Southwest Conference the Southern the Big Seven the Atlantic Coast and others and soon will become a part of the Big Ten and Pacific Coast Conference athletic programs Dr Tigert pointed and Rhodes Scholarship requirements put stress on athletic qualifications "Yet nobody ever charged that our Rhodes Scholars when they competed on the track or rowing teams of Oxford were 'commercialized athletes' he said "I still have the idea that athletics are a part of the true college education program They teach what cannot be learned in the classroom: the will to sacrifice the process of 'getting along with people' by being willing to make common cause without trying to hog the limelight or assert your differences "I have come to believe that one of the greatest things in a successful life is to get along with one's fellows and to avoid differences" Cuepe Wanted To Play At Night ILORIDA retains the two-platoon coaching system Hobe 1 looser directs the defensive line Johnny Mauer the offensive Harvey Robinson coaches backfield offense Dave Fuller handles the "three-deep" defense Hank Foldberg is varsity end coach The Gators carry four complete teams on trips When Johnny Mauer coached Miami University's basketball team in the mid-1930's one of his star players was Walter Alston now managing the Brooklyn Dodgers "Wales a fine person" Johnny said "He got his education the hard way coming back to school after he had married and had a 6-year-old child" I I Head Gator coach Bob Woodruff said he and his wife already had a name picked for the baby born Elizabeth" But it's a third boy and will be named for Bob's dad Joseph Gray Woodruff of Atlanta and his brother Joe Jr who was killed in World War II Bob has another brother Phil who lives in Nashville A baby arrived at his home on the day of the 1955 Florida-Vanderbilt game I The Art Guepes' daughter Ann celebrated her 12th birthday Friday October is a busy month for coaches I Guepe wanted to play the Florida game at night but Woodruff objected figuring it would be too cool "Besides" said Bob "one time when we played Rice at night the lights went out" Florida's swift halfback duo of Jackie Simpson and Jimmy Rountree are strapping boys 182 and 187 pounds respectively And Rountree has a strong rooter in the Nashville gentleman of the same name Director of Internal Revenue Jim Rountree No relation though So rta1 'Coot' TtIORRIS McLEMORE sassy sports editor of the Miami IT' Daily News carries the flag for all football linemen 1 The Commodore guard of 1936-37-38 is infuriated when he bears that a back has been shifted into the line them Veep their distances" he snarls "Some day the linemen of this nation are going to rise up and throw out these encroachers these transgressors Why can't a guard be shifted to quarterback some time?

Tech Two-TD Choice Over Auburn Today Atlanta Georgia Tech and Auburn renewed one of Dixic's oldest football rivalries today while fans still wondered if the traditional series soon will end Coach Bobby Dodd 's Yellow Jackets ranked third nationally went into the game favored by two touchdowns to exact their revenge for the 14-12 upset Auburn pulled last year The teams were primed for the game which in recent years has become a "must" for each Au-burns victory last year was the first for the Plainsmen since 1940 and left Tech with a 30-25-3 edge in the series which started in 1892 Auburn and Tech both boasted high-scoring potential in the backfields and rugged lines The Plainsmen counted heavily on a pair of sophomore halfbacks triple-threater Tommy Lorin() and Lloyd Nix together with veteran quarterback Howell Tubbs and fullback Jim Walsh Tubbs' collaboration with ends Jimmy Phillips and Jerry Elliott on a powerful passing attack Nvas a key factor in Auburn's Upset last year All three of them were back this time Tech unbeaten in three out-tags was deep in experience and ability in every backfield post Star halfback George Volkert's effectiveness was a question mark because of
