NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN and The Nashville American, MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1917. ch Truly Great, But Not Greatest In Dixie Grid History Vandy Must Forget Tech and Start Grind For Alabama Only Name "Vanderbilt" Was Crushed Saturday--Claim of Tech as Greatest Eleven in All Dixie's History One Not Well Founded a New Menace. By ALINKEY HORN, Consolation for the berenved and griefstricken heirs of the deceased is a perogative pecullar to the parson and one with which we rarely bave been ablo to conjure up any For foiks bowed down in with the anguish admonition find tew crumbs of comfort grim death to buck up and look calmly in the eye when Grim Death ban just mowed down a close relation and 18 whetting the scythe for A swish at the next of kin. Which, by the may here be we you are about yourself. to contradict all our own theories on the policy to be sued in regard to mates of the late pur- lamented by enjoluing those crumbed and crumbled Commodores to forget the havoc wrought by the Golden Tornado, take notch in their belt and shurpen their swords for the big red team from Alabama.

Still nothing else reinins for the 10 mauled McGuginites to do. After all there a in the thick cloud. It may be diffcult at drat to detect, but still it happens to be there, even though a microscope 18 needed to And It. Only the name of Vanderbilt was cut to ribbons Saturday. Not Vanderbilt itself.

No representative Commodore machine would ever bave been 80 completely naut slaughtered which by Helsmau even the has powerful Juggerput together. Tech's most rabid. supporters conceded that fact. Charley Walo, who nursed in his heart a wound dealt back in 1906, when the toe of Bob Blake scalped Carlisle, clared characterized that the situation when he de- not Vanderbilt but Vander. biit's ghost has supplied the feast for Tech after twenty-fve yenra of famine.

that Even the the celebrated Indian: confessed Jackets could bardly call the four former defents ndministered to Tech by the Commodores In 1802, 1000, 1007 and 1910 avenged through the knockout of bantam by a beavyweight. For the Commodores faced the same odds Pete Herman would encounter in a roped engagement with Jess Willard, despite the old gag that you cannot kill an English spar. FOW with 8 42-centimeter. Still, even though Jess might ba unable to land wallop upon so pigmy a foe, the very cyclone generuted by an intended smash would concoct a cuse of double pneumaniu for the bantam titleholder. Tech Not 'Greatest Eleven In Dixie's Football History.

The staggering defeat at the bands of Tech is more than apt to crystalize football opinion into the belief, held by the victory- -intoxicated Jacket, that Heisman heads the greatest eleven ever sent across Dixie gridiron. Yet only by relative comparisons is an cleven truly great. The Commodores of 1900, who trimmed Carliale, 4 to 0, on Dudley field, would have slowed up the Golden Tornudo to an August zephyr. Not that the eleven of that year la selected by reason of its Buperiority to any other black and gold chine, but simply for the sake of a allel between near-king, since the Indian outfit of that fail was conceded to have clambored close to the summit of the football world. Yet before a truly grent Vanderbilt machine they were plunged Into the mire of defeat.

In all Departments Tech Was Great Saturday. Not that we would seek to distract any credit from the pollab, the cohesiveness, 1ng individual stars 1 of the Heisman borde. the brilliant Interference and the scintilatThere 18 no denying their claim to superiority in Dixie. Whether the Golden TorDado could sweep Pitt and Obio State from its path is a question which is apt to supply a debate everlasting, unless a meeting can be arranged. Struppor as a Sidestepper Is a Rare Jewel.

That Tech of the present owns title as the greatest of all time in Dixie, that Strapper and Guyon 1p their respective positions are the kings of all time in Sunland's gridiron annals, is too far from A fact to admit of discussion. Even while the style of play in many respects has become altered, to range Strupper above Ilonus Craig. above Vin Campbell, or even ahead of the latter- day Morrison, is only the result of vision blurred by immediate luster. The Yellow Jacket backs undeniably are sensational performers. AR aldestepper, an artful dodger, discoverer tiny holes and a broken Held runof ridiance, Strupper can crawl abreast of the moleskin elect.

Yet his equal has flushed across Dixie before, even 80 ban his superior. Facing competition of bean-blower callber there 18 Do earthy reason why Tech should not be the wonder of the football Yet has the Golden Toruudo to counter opposition which would test the fury of Its cycloutc vigor. Yet the powerful strength of Tech amazed even Col. Dan McGugin, or rather Second Lieutennnt Daniel McGugin of the 115th feld artlilery, which he is practically certain to be after the moleskin cal. endur 18 finished.

The blocking of the Tech forwards bowled over the puny Commodores like ten ping. They subjected the McGuginites to savage punishinent yet pot once WAS there 8 whimper from the battered Commodores. Just 18 the power of Tech and the high pollsh to their work amazed Vanderbilt so did the gallant fighting spirit of Vanderbiit dazzle the horde of Save for that asset the Commodores were clearly outelnased in every department. Ten pounds were they outwelghed to the man. Tech admitted that.

A8 matter of fact the overweight probably was closer to fifteen pounds. Even without that advantage the dnal verdict would have been the same. Still, Vanderbilt was capable of better football than they exhibited. which were completed by Tech should have been broken up. They were not deceptive, particularly the passer which Guyon shot into the line to Hill or Carpenter.

Repeatedly the Commodores broke through, yet confronting the eltuntion groped blindly about with the play an open book before them. So far As the acres of ground gained around the wings were concerned, the feeble Commodores were helplesaly med in by a mass of players sent straight at the wings to cut down the funk guardJana. With that obstacle removed under a crushing pile-driving blow. the seeondary defense was fearful of rushing forward lest the runner slip Which repentedly happened. The Vandy tackles, beaten back, never once were able to cross the line of scrimmage.

The frail Vandy linemen, unable stave off the thrusts of the foe, were helpless to cover their bucks. and time without number the Commodore attack was smothered before the gun could be even cocked. Lassiter and Goar alone outclassed In individual work their Tech rival, both driving the oral for an amazing average of 53 yarda. Yet 80 well did Tech protect Strupper with two backs in front to spill the Commodore ends, that the big booting edge W08 sliced In half. The Vandy kickers sent the oral more than 500 yards.

The punts were returned for almost balt thnt distance. Twice Gonr, standing hebind his own goal line, sent away wonderful kicks. Yet behind a stone wall Strupper came shifting back to the goul line. Nelther Richardson or Daves Were Injured Severely. One touchdown WAS taken away from Tech when the offcials ruled that Strupper had stepped out of bounds.

Vanderbilt players declared that he had not. Still, it made little difference, since A moment later the Tech marvel finshed through the McGugin thin front for A score. Twice Tech went battering acrosa the line for 8 touchdown, only to be called back on penalties. Only twice was Vandy penalized in the Anal quarter for taking out time too often. Nelther Richardson or Daves, who were Injured, will feel long the effects of their hurt.

Daves WA8 cut down from behind and driven to the sidelines with wrenched ankle, while the red-beaded Ricbardson went down with 11 twisted knee, Just when the Commodores made their savage thrust for a score. They were in an fortunate place, being jammed against the side line. Mayhap if an end run bad been tried before the line plunge by Alf Adams. which was checked-but never mind. All that le history now, bleak history.

While Alabama is a menace alive. Backfield Claims New Record in Game With Vandy The most wonderful' record probably of any set' of backs ever made in a game was hung up by Tech's "Big 4" Saturday. Guyon, Strupper, Hill and Harlan were never stopped without a gain. Joe Guyon ran with the ball twelve times. His total number of yards gained vas 844.

Els average was 28 2-8 garde. Everett Strupper ran with ball thirteen times. His total amounted to 147 with an average of 11 Judy Harlan ran with the ball eleven times. He gained 111 yards for an average of 10 4-5. Albert Hill took the pigskin twenty-ope By MORGAN BLAKE, STATE NORMAL TRIUMPHS OVER CASTLE HEIGHTS LEBANON, Nov.

-Saturday afternoon the State Normal eleven teat on the gridiron for which they have worked in vain for several years -beating the Castle Heights team. Coming with the strongest team which has represented the Murfreesboro achool for many years they trampled their old-time rivals beneath a score of 31 to -0. The rise of the score would indicate that the vinitors ran all over the Castle Heights team, but anyone present at the game will refute any such. claim. for many of the normal supporters expreased it as being 00e of the best and hardest fought games they bave ever witnessed.

But ODe thing the victory and the sine of the score indigated was the excellent coaching the normai aggregation has received. Tutored by Floyd, star on the? Vanderbilt eleven last year, the Murfreesboro team displayed some of the best team work and all-round playing of any 'team seen in action here this year. due And to the able coach10g of Floyd is the long waited -for taste of revenge at the hands of the local school. While an abundance of praise can be placed on the defensive work of Castle Heights in making their opponents fight for every inch of ground, there must be they showed a miserable lack of driving power on the offensive. Only once during the whole game did they get near the normal goal line and that time was Just to the twenty-yard line.

In another department the Castle Heights boys showed dismal fallure- that of coping with: forward passes which the visitors contin. sprung on them for large galas. But while the people: of Murfreseboro are drinking deep and celebrating the ictory of State Normal, to, the fans place consoled their extent by the great uphill game which played. State Normal outweighed the local bunch slightly, but as far an this chow to concerned In. final resulta, it did not any material normal boys were just merits.

However be -said, had the the and won on their offensive of bean better score or two. might have been put over on their rivals. For the local aggregation, McCullough and Bacherig stood out an the stellar play: erg of the game, and at times annoyed the opposition no little by their Tor ward: the normal victors and Here Are the Statistics On Slaughter Saturday STATISTICS 83. 1st Pd.

Couch Theo. Pinson threw his machine into high geur and it left such destruction and devastation in wake that it resembled the passage of a British tank. Wallace came buck after last year's defeat and led by Hunter and Witherspoon, launched such an attack on Duncan that It might be labeled It 8 the Strupper-Guyon combination In mode. Duncan seemed unable to atop the Jong end runs made by the Wal-. lace backs, who rAD behind perfectlyformed Interference.

The aerini attack WAR equally puzzling, and time and again Witherspoon snatched the oval from the ozone for A gain of fifteen, twenty and thirty yarda. At no stage of the fracas was the Wallace KORI in danger, and the ball wns kept In Duncan's territory. Although Hunter was forced to punt only twice, his spirals were long and high, giving his ends plenty of time to cover the bull.

The report of Nashville's total Saturday was given out wrong by headquarters, and intend of being 15,368, it should have been 22,585, or a little less than 100 below Memphis' total. This error added greatly to the total and with the reports from the various churches and other organizations who have not yet reported, It is believed Tennessee's total will go beyond the 300.000 zonl.
