27. (Special.) Sewnnee overcame Kentucky Stnto by a score of 7 to 0 In a hnrd-fouglit game on Andrews field this afternoon. Captain Ebcn Wortham, of Sewanrc, made the only touchdown. The teams were evenly matched and a tie was averted only by strong defensive tactics of the Tennessee eleven, which gave a thrilling Imitation of a stone wall when Kentucky had the ball on the 5-yard line with four down to make the touchdown. Except Wortham, no other member nt Best's team made a gain longer than iV yards.

On defense, however, Sewanee's play was gilt-edged. With Commodore forwards gouging huge and Jagged holes In the Howwfl line, through which the Mcflugln backs cam wallowing with rigorous Impact, Vanderbilt bnrleri thn Ha titbits from nirmlngham yesterday on Dudley Held, 00 to 0.

For tLe most part. old-fashUni'Ml football was used, except that Kentucky had a freak shift, the play starting while an end was running from one end to the other to lend tho Interference. Lear kicked off fur Sewanee 'and throughout the first half of the game, a conspicuous advantage rested with Sewanee. Kentucky never had the ball beyond the center of the field. Except, for an occasional run by "Pep" the Tigers eoudd not gain and Kentucky was even more helpless on offense, Wortham Misses Three Drop Kicks, Wortham missed three drop kicks from the HO, 10 and lines.

OHIO STATE FINDS DENISON EASY VICTIM COLUMBUS, Oct. 27. Ohio State University, western conference champions, had no trouble In defeating the Deni.son University eleven of Granville; Ohio, 07 to 0, here this afternoon. After the first half Ohio State's team was composed mostly of second line men. "Chic" Harley, all- American right half, viewed the game In civilian clothes after the first auarter.

The game was played In a field of mud and throughout a heavy downpour of rain. CHICAGO BEATS NORTHWESTERN BY SMALL SCORE CHICAGO. Oct. 27. Tlie light, speedy Northwestern eleven held Chicago to 7-to-0 score today in the most bitterly contested game played on Stagg Field this season.

Higgins, the hit: Chicago fullback, plunged across Northwestern's goal la the third period for the onlv tonelwinwTi nf tho game. Northwestern outplayed Chicago in me inni (iiiii luiirui periOCtB. Tile purple Bwcatered players oneaed nn array of torwiirtl passes in the final pe riod, iiui Lumnies proven costly. treasure chest of the Commodores remains secret to tho Bolea from Georgia. Though even the hatchings of the wizard mind of McGngln may fall to foil the Heisaraan horde abreast of minimized scoring, (hero is consolation iu the fact that Tech if) as much In the dark oh to tho actual vigor of the Commodore punch ns they were before the scouts invaded Dudley field.

As a matter of fact, Viindy sup-' porters themselves came away with but little light shed upon the ability of the crude machine. The field, knee-deep In mud, and the lightness of the Howurd 'eleven prohibited any fair estimate the Commodores. Xot that there could he nny disparagement upon the luster which marked the teamwork, the blocklug and the formation of Interference in the flrHt part of the struggle. No Vanderbilt machine ever swung out into a closer knitted shield for the runner than was the case in the first period, when Sam starting the at quarter, splashed twenty yardH "tnrough the mud. planting the ball in position for "Top'' Richardson, to plough through Tor the first touchdown.

That score came after five plays had been reeled oft by the Commodores. 3fanler Shoved In Drove Of Subs In Last Half. Yet 'with thegarae wnulng, the blocking became less deadly and the Interference less effective for the runner, although due! allowance must be made for the withdrawal of the hulk of tho regulars Jn the third period. When the second half opened Coach Manler, directing the eleven while Coach I). McGugin Inspected the Sewunee-Kentucky State combat, began a regular; 'procession of subs to the field so much, so.

in fact, that when the fliinl whistle came Headrix alone of the regulars re-, mained in the fray. Howard, which had pinned its faith upon the fleetness of the backs, who, on a dry field at, Sewanee, held the purple to a I 6-0 Bcore in the season's first game, was completely Btallod in the quagmire. Throughout the first half the Uaptlsts i were able to' gain less thnn ten yards1 either through the line or around the wings, the two first downs which they made resulting from penalties inflicted against Vanderbilt. Mired in the mud, the Uaptlsts In the second half nnreefed a slashing forward pass nttacbr, from freak formations, which came within step of a touchdown. Standing in the middle of the field, with a befuddling formation, Fullback Gibson whisked the soggy ball to Quarterback Walker, who had splattered through the mud to Vandy's seven-yard line.

With no Commodore closer than telephoning distance, the Howard quarter reached for the water-soaked only to have it ooze from his linger tips. Twice Howard completed pnBseB, one a cleverly executed play, down the side line, netting eight yards, while the other from scrimmage formation traveled ten yards. Howard Only Made iTour First DownB. Pour times during the game Howard made firat downs. The Commodores advanced the sticks thirty-one times.

Tho revamped line-up of the Commodores, transplanting Alf Adams to fullback nnd Hendrix and Lasslter to flank not only served to solidify nnd strengthen the defense hut to give im-'. inetus to the attack. While the Commodore captain retained his- fault of tminshing blindly iu, he battered the Howard line with crushing power, nnd once having mastered the knack of recovering his head, after plunging through the scrimmage Hue, should provide much of the sadly needed punch. Hendrix, in turn on the wings, played marked improvement In his former nnFf.iMiinnfn nltbniiirli hn fell Nliortlv bo: Pittsburgh's Great Machine Rolls Over Pennsylvania Wins by Score of 1 4 to 6, Although Victors Did Not Show Her Strength Until Third Period Penn.

Howard College Punter Fractures Bone in Leg Strickland, center and pnnter for Howurd college, sufferM a fracture of the fibula In the third period of yesterday 'h irame, according to an anil nun cement made by Dr. Owsley Manler, who made an examination of bin Injury. The small bone In his leg which was cracked, may knit sufficiently for him to play again this sen-son, but tlit chances are remotn. Strlrkland's loss practically wrecked Howard, since he did all the panttntc for the HiiptlstN nnd his peppery work rekindled the flagging spirit of the the Ilaptists' part repeatedly. Along with Duke and Walker, end and quarterbncH, respectively, Strickland dlil splendid work against great odds.

Duke's flank proved difficult for the Commodores to turn and frequently he spluttered tho Vanderbilt Interference Hendrix took credit for the last score. Honors for the longest run of the game went to "Top" Rieiiardson, who skirted right end In the second period for a thlrty-j-ard sprint, climaxing lil record of several journeys ranging from fi to 20 yards. Sam WUhlte reeled off a twenty-yard march in the first period. Schwill clipped off fifteen yards on two occasions lu addition to a number of steady gains, while Sherman, McGaughey and Goar pierced the Howard line for Bteady drives. Vractlcally all the Commodore scores resulted from straight marches, although once they were held for downs within hand reach of the goal lu the third period, nnd several times missed scoring chances with clear fields by sprawling In the ooze or fumbling the slippery pigskin.

The high tide of scoring came in the second period when the Howard goal waa crossed four times. Three touchdowns were made in the first period, as many in the third, and one In the last, when the eleven was 1)0 per cent substitutes. Simmered down, the early workmanship of the Commodores was hlghlv gratifying. They blocked with more ticenracy and more deadly precision, the interference, despite the uncertain underfooting. formed qulckod and with more compactness, the punting was creditable, both by Goar and Lasslter, while offensively the forwards were miles ahead of previous form.

Car-trnu and McGlII were fierce in their charging, while Daves was a team in himself. Still there yet remain many ragged edgeB and a multitude of flaws. Messrs. Strupper, Guyon, Hill and Carpenter left with a breakfast food smile. The lineup and summary: Vandy.

(Special.) Conch Dnn'McOugin of" Vanderbilt was a spectator at tho Sewanec-ICen-tuoky State game this afternoon, probably with a view to sizing the task confronting Vanderbilt on Thanksgiving Day. MeUuffln stated Nashville had defeated Kentucky 5 to 0 and Sewanee had done a little better, the score hero today being 7- to 0 In favor of Sownnee. He expressed the opinion that today's contest Indicated that Vanderbilt and Sewanee elevents were pretty evenly matched. While both teams' are filled with young nnd inexperienced plaj-ern, they both have the fighting spirit, and fans can expect the traditional hot fight at the Thanksgiving game. "All last year's heavy veterans have answered call of Mars," said McGugin, "and gone to war; but the splrft of the two Institutions Is as latent as ever," Couch McOugln said he had come to tho.

Pittsburgh failed to show her strength until the third period. Pennsylvania rallying, scored a touchdown In jhe hiBt few minutes of play, largely through an Intercepted forward pass. Pennsvlvanla's defense In the first period held Pittsburgh to spasmodic gains, while by a aeries of overhead passes and end runs the Quakers approached within teu ynrds of Pittsburgh's goal, only to lose the ball on an intercepted pnsa. In the second period the playing was mostly in Pittsburgh's territory, each team Indulging in considerable Hue plunging and repeatedly- losing the ball on Intercepted passes. Iu the third period, Pittsburgh, obtaining the hall on her own ten-yard line on the kick-off, carried ft back by short runs and line plunging to Pennsylvania's thirty-yard line, McLaren doing most of the carrying.

Here the ball was passed to Mc-Carter for a forward paBB. Poor tackling by Pennsylvania failed to stop the play, and McCarter tossed a pretty, pass to Carlson, who shot over the ten yards of territory before downed, Pittsburgh's second touchdown followed when Berry's punt was blocked, a Pitts-burgli player falling on the ball one yard from the goal line. McLaren easily carried It over. In the final period both sides resorted largely to the aerial game. Berry tried a field goal from the 117-yard line, but failed by inches.

Later A. Wrny Intercepted a forward pass and planted the ball on Pittsburgh's 7-yard line. "Three rushes against Pittsburgh's heavy lino put It across for Pennsylvania's only score, Strauss making the First period: Pennsylvania held the heavier Pittsburgh eleven to scoreless tie at the end of the first period, during which both sides gained much ground by solid line plunging and the frequent use of the forward pass. Second Period Pittsburgh's fierce attacks were met with a stubborn defense and neither side had any advantage. Officials gave the ball to Pennsylvania on Pittsburgh's 45-yard line, and the left halfback was thrown' for a loss of one ynrd and rendered McCarter, Pittsburgh's left hnlfbaok, was also knocked out in stopping Berry's 33-yard plunge.

Third Perfbd Pittsburgh resorted to straight, old-fashionedikfootball and pounded Pennsylvania's line heavily for repented gains. This Btrategy eventually told on the lighter opponents, and Carlson, Pittsburgh's loft end, raced a quarter of the length of the field for the first touchdown of the game. Within a few minutes of play Pittsburgh again Bcored when Berry kick was blocked and bounded within one yard of Pennsylvania's goal line. Fourth Period Berry, on fake forward pi-ss, made the only sensational play of the game, running to Pittsburgh's 2X-yunI line. Pennsylvania's first chance to score came when Berry attempted a field goiil from Plttshurgh's HS-yard Uncut a difficult angle.

The bail went flank guardian. The latter fairly scintillated In his puncturing of interference, boxing of the tackles and cutting down the flaward ruuuers. When Adams was withdrawn In the hist period, Hendrix returned to his former position at fullback, where he burrowed through Cor the final touchdown of the game. Laurels -Iu the line were practically monopolized by Herman Daves, who not only split the Howard line in pieces, but made possible two touchdowns by blocking punta. Two others which he blocked were recovered by a Howard player.

In tho closing stages of the firsts, period tlie 1012 star literally lifted a Howard forward out of his path, broke through nnd blocked one of Strickland's punta, although the bull was recovered by the Baptists.
