AU won 7 of the first 12, but was 1-3-1 in the last 5 before the split.

Donahue was hard core. He didn't believe that teams should be allowed to have more than one man with the option to run the ball, and he didn't believe that players needed more than .50 per day for food, train fare, and lodging in Birmingham.

Honestly, though, he was a hell of a defensive coach. Those 1913 and 1914 teams were light years ahead of their southern competition.

Why the frick does your timeframe end 3 games before the series took a break? Auburn won 5 of the last 10 before the break. Also, what I said was correct: Auburn only won one of the previous 5 before the break. I gave credit for AU's early success, and I realize you wish it was more lopsided, but don't just make up totally arbitrary time frames.
