Iby Bollinger and Hackman. The Commies nailed at the quarter 4-6. The second quarter was but a repetition of the first, with both teams missing frequently. Baker | hit from the floor and Hain hit from fairly well out for the locals' only markers, boosting their total jto 10. Dienelt'* two goals, one by I Hudson. and charity tosses by I Dienelt and Gillie built up their | points to 14 at half time. Then the two teams threw up I practically impregnable defenses. ■ Decatur’s lone tally in the third ' was a foul toss by Baker, while | the Bulldogs marked up two | points on Dlenelt's third and Tmal I goal. Going into the final quarter, trailing 11-16, the stage was all set for a brilliant Commodore rally. Hess, elongated Commie center, pivoted underneath and swished the hoop, bringing the locals up to 13-16. ! Baker took the ball from Haek- ■ man in the pivot position on a fast cut from the basket and added still more to bring it up to 15-16. Then with less than two minutes to go and the Commodores trailing, the crowd went wild. With Commie rooters pleading for another basket and Bulldog supports imploring their favorite sons to withstand the attack, the locals' belated spurt seemed in vain. However, with only seconds to go, teo Hackman, sophomore forward who won a regular’s berth i fhis year, suddenly arose from | apparently nowhere in a huddle under the goal and put the locals ; ahead with a perfect pivot shot. I With the Commodores leading 17l 16 and still 30 seconds remaining, ■ the locals beat down all attempts of the Bulldogs to score and eased l under the wire a one-point winner in one of the most thrilling of first season encounters in the history I of the team. To pick out individual accomplishments would be unfair. Most noteworthy, however, was the defense of the locals, that of Bob Hess in throttling the Bulldog sparkplug, Dienelt. Baker was the high scorer with nine points. Dienelt made seven. Coach

Tenn., Nov. 11.— (U.K) —Wearing false beards, gum-soled shoes, and linen gloves (to insure against fingerprints), Vanderbilt's football players went into another of their secret, mysterious workouts today in preparation for the Tennessee camp here on Saturday. With Coach Ray Morrison leading, the boys plunged deep into the woods, in search of a deserted cave, where, with only bats and lizards and crawling things to watch them, they could develop their weird and ethereal attack. With Morrison, as assistants, George Laurent used six men in tucking away the victory, while Coach Paul White called upon the services of eight.

were Poe’s Raven, who will coach the ends; Macbeth’s witches, who are in charge of the backs; Banquo’s ghost, who wi'l work on the guards, and Orson Welles, who will ; direct the air attack. It was this same staff, with the * exception of the Raven (who was ■ added this year), that went into mysterious conclave last year be- ' fore the L. S. U. game. Everyone laughed at the deep, dark meeting, bqt not for long. Because the staff emerged with the now famous hidden ball play that upset a stronger L. S. U. team. No one has seen Vanderbilt in practice this week. The “no admittance’’ sign has been on the stadium gate since Monday. Cails to Coach Morrison’s house have been answered only by a haunting wail, then a sharp cry of dismay. Parents of boys on the team have I been unable to locate them. In I the locker rooms spiders spin their | webs, and the lecture blackboard is caked with long forgotten Kentucky plays. The Vanderbilt team, to come right out and be brief about it, has vanished. Somewhere the team is practicing — practicing in the hope that Tennessee, its bitter rival since 1892, will be beaten and another Rose Bowl dream turned into a nightmare. What Coach Morrison will develop in secret practice is beyond the guess of the maddest Nashville citizen, because Morrison is i the most inventive of all football ; coaches. In fact, his children call him Edison, not papa. There has | been speculation as to the secret

i' plays, however. One school holds , that Morrison is working on a play in which the referee will take the hall from center, fake to the head ' i linesman, and kick abackwqrd field goal. Another school maintains that Morriqon has devised a play wherei by a co-ed cheer leader Vfill be on- , side and, through social connections, be allowed to score on a lateral. Still another school swears that ■ Morrison will win the game on the statue of Liberty play, and that for the first time in the history of American football he will employ the REAL statue of Liberty from New York harbor, on the play. Morrison is said to have gained the permission of the French school children. who gave the statue to the United States, and the New York customs officials to bring Miss ‘ Liberty, torch and all, to Nashville ' for the game. It is further report--1 ed that one of Vanderbilt’s forward • pass coaches has been in New York for the past two weeks teaching the statue of Liberty how to palm a football and take a pass. There is only one little hitch to this scheme: Miss Liberty is said to have a “torch" elbow. (Copyright 1938 by UP.) o — Five Rolls Rip Cord Premium Adding Machine paper 2-9 8?” fifty cents.
