' THE MIGHTY VVOLVERINES And so the game seesawed for hfty more thrilling minutes. Once Tot McCullough caught a long, long pass, and brought Vanderbilt to the point nearest to the coveted line. But Michiganls line could not be penetrated con- sistently, no more than could Vanderbilt's, and by the end of the first half, there was a feeling that no one would score. Once, late in the game, Michigan made a desperate threat by a place kick, but the ball went wide, and again Scotty Neil booted out of danger. . Time after time'Gil Reece caught punts, and shifting from side to side in a most elusive fashion, would run almost through the Michigan team, by a hair's breadth, escaping each hand outstretched to seize him. He resembled old Lewis Hardage, who had taught him that shifty trick. Lynn Bomar tore through the Wolverine line con- stantly, and always emerged after a play on the far side , of the 'secondary gdefense. Every man- inlthe lineup deserved a crown of glory that day, but the hero of heroes, the creme de la' creme, was Captain Jess Neely. Fragile, in- jured, bruised, exhausted he was, but down after down, almost the whole game through, he hurled himself into,the midst of each- play, and did more than any other man to send Michigan home with the nearest thing to a licking Vanderbilt ever gave her. I Whence came that irresistible spirit that shattered the 'Michigan plays no one knows. Every man on the squad possessed it. It was the re-enactment of more than one chapter in the record of Vanderbilt's past. . There never was a greater reversal in the history of athletics than that that day. The dwarf stood like a Titan ,foot to foot and breast to breast with the grim Michiganlgiant, and disarmed him. MCGUGIN Hams BALL T0 Yosr

rantiand Rice, Inspired by Stadium, Writes ew Song The finest athletic plant south of Messrs. Mason and Dixon's line, and the greatest writer of sports in America, are two of Vanderbilt's assets. When man and the occasion coincide, the following was the result: ' ' The Vanderbilt Stadium, while not the largest in the world, is one of the most beautifully pro- portioned, -best arranged and generally satisfactory athletic fields that I have ever seen, was the statement of Grantland Rice, B.A., ,OI, premier sports writer of America, who was in Nasllville cov- ering the Southern Open Golf championship at the Belle Meade Club, shortly before the Stadium was completed. Beside covering the various matches at the golf tournament, Grantland was busier than two or three ordinary men seeing his friends. That's a big job in itself, for beside his boyhood and college friends around Nashville he has all the old newspaper gang that he worked with, first on the old Daily News and later on the Nashville Tennessean, and all the 115th Field Artillery outfit that he served with through the war, to meet and greet. . The sketch of him by James Montgomery Flagg, appearing on this page, proves that he is the same old Grant that he was in his baseball days at Vanderbilt, or in other days when he was Sergeant Rice or Lieutenant Rice of the A. E. F. Inspired by the handsome new stadium and the wonderful record of the victorious Commodores on the gridiron, Grantland composed a new battle hymn for his Alma Mater, which is as follows: COME ON, YOU COMMODORES 1.
