super-greatness and also the time when hero worship is in order That time was yesterday when the green weakened Vanderbilt team fought in ono of the greatest battles against the greatest odds that a Vanderbilt team ever had to contend with Alabama was conceded to be the more polished machine and victory for the Crimson had ceased to be a mooted question when Herman 'laves Vandy's star tackle was protested by the Alabamians That is Alabama was the greatest before the game Such a fight as that putup by the Commodores has rarely been equalled in the annals of Southern football It was simply a ease of grit prevailing over might And it prevailed Vandy for once had the necessary punch and the hitherto uncrossed goal of the Crimson was romped over when Henri Vandy's fullback came through with the big punch and rambled -through the enemy's defense for the first touchdown scored against Alabama this season All honor to Henrix and to Top Richardson whose brilliant 25Lyard run made the victorious drive a possibility! Lassiter Vandy's star punter clearly outdid the Alabamians at bis department of the game and it was largely due to his big toe that the Commodores managed to get out of many a tight hole Meenick put up a great game against Capt ilovater of Alabama at tackle Stephenson the Crimson fullback ripped great holes in the Commodore line and was responsible for most of the ground annexed by the

best golfers America had ever developed This means both amateurs and professionals so long as they are American-made golfers Would you mind adding any testimony to this Picking live leaders from a big field extending over a playing period of nearly thirty years might look to be no part of an easy assignment Yet in the main the job is not very hard There is bound to be some rebuttal whatever the choice but in the main the leading five can be taken on The Big Three Travers Ou 'met and Fivana There Is no chance to keep Travers out of the star quintet Four amateur championr-hips and one Open

appearance and took credit for winning Chicago's third game which was played in New York and he then made his plare in history great by winning the deelding game In New York Faber has been one of the American Leagues most spectacular performers when tie was in any kind of sehape but he performed in the world's series at a time when it was least expected he could show his usual effectiveness He had

pigskin army triumphed over Cornell for the first time in four years 42 to The game was hardly the exhibition of football it promised to be The Wolverines were superior In all departments and Cornell could make nothing through Yot 3t's frontiersmen except in the second quarter and near the clome of the game when the Red men seemed to take on a spirit of rejuvenation Falling to get in by the rushing methods 'Doc" Sharpe's proteges resorted to a shower of forward passes But two of the chucks yielded any substantial gains Weston was the brightest Michigan luminary repeating his lone distance runs which have given him the name of the -human eel" Every one of Yost 'm backs gained through the line and around the ends consistently Only twice were they held for any extent of time Cornelis biggest Yacdaaca came via the aerial route when Hoffman's talented toe and leather eonnected but the hoists were of little ume since Weston ran most of them back half way or three-quertera of the distance higan'st Pplendlei interference helped its backs advance considerably The Reds displayed a lot of worthwhile tackling but their blocking "finked" They seemed to lack the team work that Yost has developed In his forces and though they put up a plucky scrap they were beaten from the start The line-up: Michigan Positions Cornell Goetz Colvin Left Goodsell Ackernecht-A Trowbridge Left

yards Notwithstanding this hie sprint brought the ball from the 38-yard line to the eighth marker' and placed Vandy In a scoring position for the first and only time in the game His mad dash perhaps would not have been stopped cm the 8-yard line had it notemeen for the fact that he wati-tlittlown out of bounds by an op posing linesman-The Crowd on hand gasped as Richardson gobbled up the oval ducked his head and started down the field On his spring' be succeeded in eluding a number of Alabama's linesmen and many others who succeeded in getting Within tackling distance were shaken off with apparent ease With the ball on Alabama's 8-yard line it required but three line bucks before Hendriz was able to wedge his way Over the enemy's goal line Wilhite kicked goal There are many reasons why the Crimson and White did not emerge from the contest with a victory but second to that of Richardson was the inability of the Alabamians to hold the ball Time and time again they would come Into possession of the ball only to ipso It through this defect and a fumble by Emmet In the second quarter was directly responsible for Vantiy's lone touchdown inasmuch as It gave the Commo res the ball just a few eeconde priot to Itichatdson's great run AM-TIGHT DEFENSE-Alabama this year has won the reputation of being one of the best deleneive machines in the South and In this department of the game they succeeded in upholding their past reputation So excellent was the defensive ability of Kelly's machine that the Commodores in but few inittances had the slightest chance of scoring From all appearances the mythical "thin red line" has now completely- mimed Out of existence and in its place has sprung up a line that will compare favorably with any in the South with the exception of that of the Golden Tornado Even though the Alabama line showed up to good advantage in their contest yesterday they were outclassed la this department of the game by that of the (hold and Black Alabama had the ball the majority of the latter half and in one Instance within a few feet of Vandy'e foal line At this particular point the fighting ability of the Commodores came to the surface and the Alabamians were rolled back on every occasion The first half of the game produced a good brand of football but in the last half was where the superiority of the Commodores eves shown In the third quarter Alabama started a march down the field and succeeded in getting the hall within a few feet of the goal posts sided by the deadly accuracy of their forward passim In this drive three plays of this variety placed the ball on 'Vandys 2-yard line Foremost in the Crimson attack were Stowers and Stephenson who aided by the effective use of the Iowa spread formation stioceeded in pulling off exactly three forward passes one of which was for nearly thirty yards The fourth attempt to work this play was a complete failure This time Stephennon was behind the goal line Vandy exerted all of her strength to stall oft apparent defeat end this attempt went ineompleted The ball was brought back into action and Vanderbilt kicked out of denger In the concluding stanza In which Alabama registered her only score it was a hard matter for the -Vanderbilt warriors to hold the terrific charges of she Crimson backfield A drive similar to that of the preceding quarter was started in this period Aided by the effective use of the Kelly formation and the mighty onslaughts of the Crimmon aggregation tho ball was carried deep into 'Vanderbilt's territory Vainly buckled up and held them for downs the ball groin over shortly After recovering the oval Lateelter attempted to punt out of danger from the 10-yard line and put all his force behind the kick However the punt was the ball rehounding bark of
