The element of style which surrounds every Fashion Park overcoat is alert, distinguished and sensible. ATMOSPHERE reinforced by exceptional tailor-work, absolutely warrants good service.

And service is essential to the period in which we are living. Save, by being practical. Mens Shop 2d Floor Men Shop 2d Floor BY HENRY C. VANCE. They shall not pass! That would be a good slogan for the Auburn football team to adopt when goes against Vanderbilt.

The tioubie is the slogan was not in effect Saturday afternoon at Klckwood Field, and Vanderbilt DID pass. She passed so effectively. In fact, that in that second quarter she rang up two touchdowns via the forward pass route, kicked two goals, and got such a Jump on the Tigers that the Jungietown boys never really had look-in, after the aerial sharp-shooters from Nashville got through with the old football in that second quarter. Incle Ham staged an aerial circus at the Fair Uiouous. and following this up the followers of the Gold and Black staged an aerial circus' alt of their own at Hick wood Field.

Those two and another touchdown coming in the last minute or so of play gave the Commodore 21 points, and aU the Tigers hau to show for their afternoon of pas timing was a great big blank. Twenty-one to nothing. That represents the score, and apparently that's Just about how much belter the Van-derbiitians are than Grizzled Mike Donahue's men. About two thousand fans braved the storm clouds and assembled at Hick-wood Field Saturday afternoon. It was nothing like foinur crowds to this annual game, either In number or noise, but, at that, it was a pretty good guth-eiing.

everything considered. Pretty Good Crowd, After Ail. There was that gloomy father to contend with, and there waj the counter attraction at tho Fair Grounds. When the teams were assembled on the field, snd play started, it was seen that the gridiron was a littie the worse for wear. A steady rain had fallen through the night, and the morning game by the two local high school elevens had attired up the mud and given it a brUk-jaid euect.

HUH. the two sqtmds got some good football out of their sum8, despite this handicap The first quaiter was one of those kiddieh see-saw affairs The ball went up and down the field, first in the hands of the Tigers and then back to the Commodore. When the quarter ended the bail was on Auburn's 35-yard line, snd in her own possession. Score aiiderbiit 0, Auburn 0. Second Quarter.

first down, BerryhIU closed out the last play before the touchdown came with a four-yard gain, and the Tigere stood with their backs to their own goal line. A forward pass, Sherman to Lockman, over the goal line, netted the touchdown, and goal was kicked. This last aerial counter was not so spectacular as the first, but it threw the Vanderbilt atanda into an uproar. Score: Vanderbilt 14, Auburn 0. The falf ended with nothing else In the scoring line and the huskies went through the third quarter with no action whatever in the tallying department Jn fart, manv had departed in the lust quarter, thinking the game was over, when the McGuginttes stood the stands on their ears by a brilliant play In which a Birmingham boy figured end which ran the Commodores total up to 21.

In that last minute or eo of play, Scott, Birmingham boy, playing left half for the Tigers, fumbled. Gore, also Birmingham boy, playing for the Commodores, recovered tills fumble, okked up the ball and darted for the goal. Gore's beautiful run waa for thirty yards to a touchdowrn. For Auburn, Hhlrling, the big full back. Just the type of man for a Donahue machine, played a great game, ploughing through the line on numer-cus occasions.

The trouble was that his support faltered at times, and he could not carry-on all by himself. For Vanuerbilt, Lockman stood out over his comrades, for his brilliant for ward passing and for his all round work. Gore, too, starred, finishing up the game with that thirty-yard run after some beautiful punting all through the game. The two squads presented gren elevens, but lKma hue's was probably the greenest. It wasnt up to the standard of either of the two teams, but It was the only game Birmingham has seen this year, and Birmingham en-Joved it The linip snd summary Vanderbilt Goar, right end, Owens, right tackle; Heeve.

The who were wont to Insist that Battling Neleon lacked a eens of bu-htor perhaps are chanting a different melody at this moment. For the bet-tle-srwrred lightweight champion of other days has Just finished slipping over one of the moat remunerative jokes In the history of pugdoiu. Not eo many week ago a atory came out of Chicago which pictured Hat in the hospital down and out and a a busted as the German army.

Hat. from a sick bed, claimed that he needed money but qualified his statement in this way: "Im not looking for donations. All I want that some of the fellows who borrowed money from me when I had It should return a little of It now. 1 loaned out 025.000 In my fighting days end most of it is still owing to me." list's supposed pitiful condition melted the hesrls of a number o. persons, who really were guilty of having cxtiactcd money from Hat via the loan route In the early days and who had not paid It back.

Ho they dug down into the family bank root, extracted as much loose change as was possible, and shipped it along to help the old boy Out." Money in small amounts began to rain in upon Nelson and after something like fi.a'K) had been ferried along to him by mcti who owed him that much and a whole lot more Hat let loose Utis bit of news: Hay, I wasn't broke and 1 ain't down and out. i got too nm sense about money matters to lose all my money to loan all of it. Hut, a tot of guys played me for a am her when I had ami they Utiowed money and they didn't pay it back. Ho i sent out that yarn about being broke to sue if they would come through. And they did.

1 got quite a bank roil from those guys and 1 guess 1 in satisfied now. Meanwhile, Nelson is chuckling end the "hold out' friends are gritting molars and bicuspids. One of the stories that Jimmy Hritt likea to tell about Nelson in furnishing testimony to show that Hat lacks a tense of humor, la this "In NeUon took on Uudy (Boer) Unholz in a ten-round no de iston contest in Los Angeles. Inhoii was at his best at that time and dealt out a line beating to the old battler. I n-hois was the type who rouid go well for ten rounds, where.ts Nelson nsver began to show anything until after the ten rounds were over.

lhe next morning the papers In Los Angeles, with one exception, gave the decision to the Boer The single exception was a little racing sheet which had a circulation of about 1. 000 Nelson purchased the entire edition of the paper for the purpose of mailing it to his various newspaper friends throughout the country.

Bewildered by this display of brilliance the Tiger never really regained consciousness until those naughty Vanderbilt bo had worked another deceptive trick and had oozed further away from the opposition.
