In what was the first game against the rival University of Tennessee, it ended early in a 6–6 tie, when fans rushed onto the field after a controversial offside call and the umpires were unable to clear out the crowd in the second half.[11] In the game, J. L. Broug scored for Tennessee and A. W. Stewart scored for Alabama.[11]
