Tennessee proved to be the first of several stumbling blocks, for the powerful teams of Tulane, Auburn, and Carson and Nc-wman were met in succession and the Infantry lost each game. They were all played abroad and completed the road schedule. The Tulane-Infantry game was a big feature of thc- American Legion National Convention ai New Urleans. Aside from a defeat it proved to be the most serious blow of the entire season for bfellon, captain and star fullback, and Coates, game little end, went out with severe injuries. Mellon sustained a broken leg and Coates a broken foot. Mellon was out of the game for the rest of the season. A torrid sun and sandy field played havoc at Tulane, but in spite of this the Infantry gained more yardage and completed three forward passes to one for Tulane. It was the Infantry's inability to score at crucial moments, coupled with brilliant work and spectacular dashes by Alfred, Brown, and hlaloney for Tulane, that gave Tulane the victory by a score of I8 to o. For the Infantry Milburn, Chapman, Adams, Coates, and Peckinpaugh were bright lights. The annual battle with the Auburn Tiger came the following Satur- day. VVith Nlellon and Coates out and facing the most powerful eleven the Tigers have had in five years the Infantry lost a 30 to o game. Fast runs around the Infantry flanks were responsible for most of the Tiger gains and Shirey and Scott were the outstanding choices of the opposing backfield. The Infantry opened with a splendid air attack and carried the ball straight down the field in the third quarter but the Auburn forwards held on their own seven yard line. The Infantry completed exactly twice as many passes as did the Tigers. 45' 1 I ego?
