THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1907. s PORTINC I FINISH FOOTBALL FIGHTS ARE SLATED FOR SATURDAY [p.^VOTnNG THREE OF TENNESSEE’S STARS ened. Rosslter, who mou* blue and n PEERY, R.H. LOUCKS, C i NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS By PERCY H. WHITINO. 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. GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP BEGINS ON SATURDAY Next Saturday the A ret qualifying round of the aecond annual tournament of the Atlanta Athletic Club will be played over the East Lake courae.

GEORGE W. ADAIR. Athens Team Should Win, But the Game Will 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 Left end Melton Quarterback Mullary Right half Farmer Left half Landrum Fullback Newman FOOTBALL TODAY.

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.

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. OOOOOOO0OOO0OOOO0OO00OOOOO 0 YALE-ARMY LINE-UP. O O O Yale. West Point.

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. OOOOO«tKH>O0OOOOOOOOOOOOOO O O O 80UTHERN GAMES TODAY.

While there Is no feeling of confi dence here that the navy will win, n good showing Is confidently expected, and there Is a lingering reeling that the midshipmen may surprise the visitors tilth their strength.

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. Two Great Football Teams Clash Today at Tech Park. Stone Mt. Team Plays on Monday Special to The Georgian. Stone Mountain, Ga., Oct. 19.—The Stone Mountain team had Us last work- prep game ahead of It. The line-up: Tennessee. Tech. Johnson, le Wilcox, le. Word (capt.). It Brown, It. Dingles, Ig. Henderson, lg. Cotrell, c Snyder, c. Dougherty, rg Smith, rg. Walters, rt Davis, rt. Leach, re Hill, re. Loucks, q Buchanan, q. McCullom, rh Adamson and Hightower, rh. Peery, lh Fitzsimmons, Ih. Wert, f. Sims 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. SAMMY STRANG WILL COACH GEORGIA TEAM SAMMY STRANG NICKLIN. Sammy Strang Nlcklin, the Chat- tanoogu boy with the New York Na tionals, will coach the University of Georgia baseball team next spring. This information has not been given out officially, but It cun be taken as practically a sure thing that the fast utility man of the Olanta will be at Athens next spring to get the Univer sity of Georgia team In shape for Its season. Nlcklin Is a first-class ball player and a man of education and culture- It would have been difficult to * el better man for a college coach. • knows the game and can teach It.
