NEXT SATURDAY’S GAMES IN THE SOUTH.
Alabama vs. Georgia in Montgomery.
Auburn vs. Tech at Atlanta.
Dahlonega vs. Gordon at Dahlonega.
Davidson vs. V. P. I.
Maryville va. Tennessee at Knoxville.
Mississippi vs. Sewanee at Memphis.
'•irth Carolina vs. University of Virginia at Richmond.
. .tlane vs. Howard College at New Orleans.
Vanderbilt vs. Rose Polytechnic at Nashville.
There you have -the bill of fare for next Saturday, and
fairly good one it is. It is about equally appetizing from soup
nuts.
Wc are especially partial to the second course, but don
care to cast any disparagement or like vegetables at the other
items on the carte de jour.
(Excuse our table d'hote French. If it isn't right we
care particularly.)
Among the strictly S. I. A. A. games' the JAIabama-Georgia
game nnd the Auburn-Tech affray are by far the most important.
The local game should be a hummer. Though handicapped
by light backs nnd a somewhat inexperienced team, Auburn will
be there with the material and the snappy aggregation all right.
The Donohuc-Kienholz combination (the Irish and the
Dutch, can you beat itt) has rammed a lot of football into the
heads and bodies of the Auburnites and they will make Tech hus
tle all right.
After Tech plays today we can tell you better what we
think of the prospects of next Saturday’s game.
The Alabama-Gcorgia game is also calculated to be speedy.
Alabama is a bit off last year’s form—it is to be presumed,
anyhow—but at that has had no trouble in downing Maryville
and Mississippi by large scores. Georgia is better than last year
and is coming fast. So the game is going to be a nice one.
The Mississippi-Scwanoe game will of course be a triple-
plated cinch for Sewanee. But it will give the dopesmiths a
pretty fair line on the Tennessee Tigers—and that’s something
that we local dispensers of the deceiving article are now much in
need of.
The Dahlonega-Gordon game in Dahlonega will be an affair
of interest, though neither team has a S. L A. A. ranking. Against
Tech Gordon made the better showing, but Coach Blake’s team
is pretty well knocked askew now, while Professor Johnson’s
charges are coming strong. The game ought to be close.

Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga, Oct. 19.—The array of
talent that Mercer will send forth to
battle for honors with the University
of Georgia Saturday afternoon will be
the best the college affords this fall and
every energy will be expended to hold
up the colors of the Institution. That
the Mercer eleven this afternoon will
be to per cent stronger than the eleven
which met Florida last week, may be
seen without straining the eyes.
Faster offense nnd defense that was
Impregnable to the attacks of the
scrubs are two of the developments of
the past week.
Following Is the line-up of the Mer
cer University eleven this afternoon:
Center Shaw (Capt.)
Right guard Scoggins
Right tackle Poole
Right end . . .Hicks
Left guurd Underwood
Left tackle Davis

Quarterback Mullary

With the Tech team materially
weakened by the Injuries to Robert.
Sweet and Luck the game with Ten
nessee here this afternoon promises to
be a pippin.
The betting Is 2 to 1 with the Ten
nessee men taking the short end In
hunks.
My team Is In fair condition," said
Coach Levene this morning. "Some of
the men are strained and twisted some,
but all of them have arms, legs and
brains, and I expect them to use ev
erything they have. I think we will
show them some Northern football. I
started the team with nothing; I think
I have something now. We are vastly
stronger than when we played Georgia
and we did not show all we had then."
Coach Helsman seems quietly confl-
dent of making a good showing with
his Yellow Jackets, though he Is not
predicting a victory.
"Chip Robert Is not likely to be In
the game," he said last night, “and
that hurts us badly. We could better
spare any one man. Luck and Sweet
are also Injured, and Sims Is so soft
that he cannot last through the game.
I look for a very hard contest.”
. Chip Robert was stumbled upon this
morning and Chip expressed a hope
that he could get In the game.
The affair begins at 3 p. m., with a

New York. Oct. 19.—West Point may
take up a tot of space on the football
map today, but there are at least eleven
other Eastern games that will be
watched with Interest.
Excepting the struggle on the grid
iron that overlooks the scenic Hudson,
the Navy-Harvard game at the head
of Chesapeake Bay Is by far the most
Important battle of the day.
There Is no doubt about the outcome
of the game; that Is, Hnrvard should
win it, but the point that will be
watched with Interest Is how big a score
the Crimson can run up against the
gritty Middles. >
There arc sure going to be hot doings
In Philadelphia. Brown and Pennsyl
vania meet in their annual struggle and
tills game should prove one of the
hardest and best Of the day. Last year
the noble sons of William Penn beat
the Providence University. It Is not
likely, however, they win total any such
big score as they did In 1906.
The Indians should have little trouble
In downing Bucknell, now that they
have the forward pass perfected. But
Bucknell has often proven a stumbling
block to the bigger colleges. If Wash
ington nnd Jefferson are anywhere near
as strong as they were last season they
are sure to give Princeton a hard bat
tle. Frank Ptekarskl, the great ex
lineman of Pennsylvania. Is coaching
the W. & J„ and he Is confident that the
team will repeat their last year’s per
formance today.

Cornell and Pennsylvania State did
not meet lost year, but the Ithacans will
have little trouble with their opponents.
Williams last year gave Harvard a (atr
gnine and WIU hnVe to be given some
credit for this. But that Salt City line
will look like the rock of Gibraltar to
Williams' rush line.
Then there are numerous games In
the West that are sure of being of the
hair-raising order. i
Donald Fraser vs.
Boys* High School
The Donald Fraser squad, which halls
from Decatur, will meet the Boya' High
School at Piedmont park Monday at
3:30 o'clock.
There la much interest in thla game,
for last year the two teams played
three games In which neither aide
scored. Which team will come out
victorious this year la a question no
one can answer.
The High School team thla year is
composed of some good men and with
out doubt they have the heaviest team
In the prep circle around Atlanta. They
have a good number of old men bark
that have gotten the team in tine shape,
hile the Donnld Fraser team is a very f
light one.
l«ast year the team made one of the
finest records In the history of the
school.
The game will certainly be one of the
most interesting in prep circles that the
season affords.

While there Is no feeling of confi

ISSUER, SO SAYS RUMOR,
Will PLAY WITH GEORGIA
GEORGIA TEAM TECH-TENNESSEE
TACKLES MERCER IS LOCAL EVENT
nt to The Georgian,
vannah, Ga., Oct. 19.—There Is talk
that Joe Rosstter will go (or has
) to the University, of Georgia
i.
he does, the football team at that
tution will be materially strength-
is a veteran of the fa-
i-hlte team of Savannah,
ch walloped the all-Souttiprn team
winch was corralled from nine different
Southern states last season. Is a great
player.
He Is a blacksmith and horsc-nhocr
by profession and his trade keeps him
in fine football trim. It is said ho Is the
only horse-shoer In town who accepted
Buffulo Bill’s recent offer of (5 a shoe
for each shoe placed on the feet of his
famous fractious mule. Maud.
Rosslter plays either a tackle or full
back position. When last he played
with Georgia, it was no uncommon
tiling for the opposing coach to desig
nate two. and even three, men to put
the big tackle out of the play, "Old
Joe," as he Is affectionately known by
every devotee of the sport In this sec
tion, Is a fine fellow personally. He Is a
man who shows no mean ability at any
job he tackles, and If he carries out Ills
determination to further fit himself for
other fields of labor the red and black
will profit thereby. Rosslter Is an oven
six feet in height and weighs, stripped,
190 pounds.

and Sweet (capt.), f.
out this afternoon In preparation for
the game with Georgia Military College,
In Mllledgevllle, Monday. This game
will open the aeaeon, and is, ofl course,
uncertain as to outcome. It Is under
stood that Georgia Military College Is
rather strong. Coach Walker, a former
Davidson star, Is coaching them.
Stono Mountain lost more men by
graduation this year than In any pre
vious year of the school’s history, only
four old men returning, and Coach
Beaver has been taxed to develop n
style of play that would suit his fel
lows. The team that will represent
the school thla year Is consequently
rather green, yet well-balanced nnd of
average prep weight. The probable
line-up will be:
Kelly, center; W. Crews or Stephen.",
right guard; Rogers, loft guard; Wood-
ruff, right tackle; Bullard, left tackle:
Dudley, right end; Klein, left end: J.
Crews, quarter; Bradshaw, right half;
Cox. left half; Bailey, fullback. Sub
stitutes: Dozier, McDuffie, Stulb and
Pitts.
