NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
SOME STAR PLAYERS OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM
By PERCY H. WHITING.
* To say that we are glad that Tech-Georgia game ia over is put
ting it mildly.
The strain of a thing like that is too great.
The team which, in our humble opinion, was the better from
standpoints of athletic ability and of athletic purity won the game
and there is no kick coming.
It is perfectly safe for the readers of this column to assume
t hat the writer is as weary of this athletic purity business as they
are.
And if possible he will let up on it for awhile.
But he reserves the privilege of taking a rap at anything that
looks crooked, no matter how big a row it starts.
And just in closing up this subject we arise to remark:
Heaven spare the colleges from their alumni!
These alumni are the men who hire the players, start the
rumors, bet on the games and do the bibulous celebrating after
wards.
We aren’t talking about any especial colleges, either. It goes
for all of them, as far os we know them.
If the alumni of S. I. A. A. colleges would join in keeping
the game square it would get square and stay there.
If they would even get it through their heads, unbelievably
thick in some notable cases, that athletic honesty was the best
policy, and that the only way to build up a football team is
slowly, with students; not quickly, with ringers, it would relieve
the situation a lot.
TWO FIELD GOALS
DEFEAT VANDERBILT
Commodores Make Rattling Good Showing
and Keep Goal Line Uncrossed But Fum
bled Punts by Cotton Spell Defeat.
By GRANTLAND RICE.
Defeat has Its glory no lea* re
nowned than victory. The glory that
comes from etandlng by the guns a*
the ship goes down; from charging the
ramparts of forlorn hope; from sink
ing to the depth! with the nag stilt
flying.
The Commodore went forth to bat
tle and he come back on his shield.
That Is the Anal test of valor. To ths
Wolverine belongs ths triumph of oon-
UMt! to the Commodore the triumph
of a stand that knew no faltering In
the fnc« of mighty odds. Between these
two you con moke your choice os to
where the beet of the battle lies.
Without detracting from the triumph
of the victors. It Is only Justice to eay
that It was the fortune of war which
bound the laurel around the brow of
Yost. Two fumbled punts In ths open
ing half by quarterback Costen. who
later on battled like a fiend Incarnate
to retrieve the disaster, paved the way
for a Michigan victory. These two
Yatnl blunders, exploited within the
shadow of the Commodore goal posts,
left the maselve Octy Graham within
easy hailing distance of two field goals
—the limit of the Wolverlnee* ability
to score. Seventy minutes of play left
the Commodore goal line uncrossed, and
but for those two unhappy misc
Costsn, her goal bar would hav ■ I
uncrossed, too. But fumbles are a part
of the game, and because of them, the
final count left Michigan on top of ibe
heap, with eight points mossed t '
a Commodore "blank." There
more use weeping over split punts than
there Is of crying over spilt milk, but
defeat somehow comes harder when It
hinges on a fluke. If Michigan ha-l
fought her way across the line, and
so won by her own power of attack,
there would have been no sad dream
then of what might have happened If—
For, fight as she woul.1—struggle as
■he might—Michigan's l,est was not
good enough to rush the hall across
the line. Tims and again the powerful
Wolverine line would open up n gap
through which the fleet Michigan bucks
would dash, only to have all gaps
closed—all dashes were rumpled up
and blocked ai the shadow of the goal
bars dropped across ths bending backs
of the Commodores.
SOME OPINIONS.
Captain Magoflhi sold: "I ain pretty
well satisfied with the result of the
game. Of course the wet field stopped
the speed of the plays, but both teams
played good boll. We expected a clean,
■nappy game from Vanderbilt, and we
got It. It was a hard game and wo are
glad to have won."
Captain Bob Bloke sold just after the
game: "There Is no doubt that the best
team won. They were simply too much
for us. They played clean ball all the
way through and they beat us fairly.
Of course ths wet field Interfered with
ths speed of the plays, but our boys
played well.”
Fielding H. Tost, coach of the Michi
gan eleven, sold; "Well. I am eatlsfted.
We weren’t scored on and we got away
with the game. We got exactly what
we expected—a hard, clean game from
Vanderbilt. Both teams played good
ball, but the field prevented either team
from showing the s|ieed that they
should. It Is simply Impossible to start
fast plays when the men can’t be sure
of their footing."
Said Dan McOugln: "The teams were
very evenly matrhod. Fumbles of punts
recovered by the Wolverines were, of
course, directly responsible for Michi
gan's two goals. Bam was off In hand
ling of punts, but played most bril
liantly otherwise. Though we kept It a
secret, Sam went Into the game with a
knee In wretched condition, and It Is s
miracle that he accomplished what he
did accomplish."
The teams lined up ns follows;
From left to right, Ward, left tackle and manager; Coleman, right end; Neal, guard;
George, guard; Wllkina, cantor; Hinton, guard; Edmiaton, fullback.
Loeb, tacklo; Jar via, left half; Goree, right half;

THEY ALL HAD IT!
The morning after the world’s cham
pionship was settled ths Chicago root
ers’ special on the Michigan Central
was spproschtng Chicago. Old It. B.
Morse was stalking around through ths
eight sleeping cars that composed the
train and the quiet of the morning after
had fallen upon car I. Everybody was
busy hating himself and everybody else
end framing up stories to tell mother
when they got home, and striving des
perately to forget what had happened
during the visit to Detroit.
Suddenly one reviving fan dug Into
his outside ;>ocket and produced a com
mon or garden variety of baseball. It
looked like any other baseball, but he
grew eloquent about It.
"That Is the last boll pitched In the
world'a series,'' he declared, proudly.
"Tinker gave It to me as soon Si the
game was over."
A couple of lialf-resuscltated fans
looked at the ball with faint Interest,
but the man In upper ( suddenly broke
in.
••You're a fraud." he yelled, "trying
to palm off that ball as the last ball.
Why, I've got the last ball right hers In
my grip”
lie feverlshty unlashed his grip, pro
duced a baseball and held It up trium
phantly.
"Tinker gave It tq me at the hotel last
night." he said proudly.
That started something. The man In
lower S and the nmn from upper 6 were
at It hot and heavy, Bbustng each other
like pickpockets, when the fellow who
had Just rolled out of upper 10 entered
Into the controversy, exhibiting the
only bona fide, branded and blown-ln-
the-bottle last ball pitched In the series.
The three fought all the way Into
Chicago, almost coming to blows—and
all the time Ihe really, truly last ball
was snugly packed In Tinker's grip

(From the ''Twitterings of a Tech-
ster, with apologies to the original au
thor. whose work has here been more
or less Improved, chiefly less; and with
apologies also to the Readers of The
Georgian.)
The most desperate effort that the
University of Georgia ever made to
tuck away her old rival. Tech,' met
with failure Saturday afternoon. Alter
sixty minutes of desperately played
football the local team had the best of
It by a score of 10 to 8 and one more
down would have put the ball over for
a second touchdown and given Tech
3 or 6 more points.
If there Is any doubt In anybody's
mind as to why It happened as It did
we will bury that doubt right now.
Spirit and team play beat Individual
■tars. If tho Georgia team had had
the spirit which was evident In the
Georgia followers and the team play of
Tech there would have been nothing to
It but Georgia.
When the Men of Mystery came on
the field the crowd gasped. They were
great big, husky brutes and they made
even the Tech hearties look small.
And before we forget It we may men
tion that the "mystery” part was not
Imaginary.
The team which did not register at
the hotel where It stayed did not get on
the field until Just time for the game to
begin, and when the affair was ready
to start the coach refused point blank
and with gentle positiveness to give the
line-up to the newspaper men. This In
formation was not obtnlned until after
the game started and at that time from
Professor Sanford.
But this la beside the point.
Tech Woke Up.
We were on our way lo point out the
fact that for tho first time In Its his
tory the Tech team of 1907 "got to go
ing" Saturdny. The bunch that went
fevery-whlch-way against Tennessee
and every-other-day against Auburn
played like an oiled machine on Satur
day. And they did It against a heavier

team, made up of more brilliant Indl
vidual players, and despite the dls
cotiraglng loes of Chip Robert In the
very llret play of the game and of
Buchanan before the second half wae
fairly Btarted.
It looked gloomy for Tech when Rob
ert fall. On the very kick-off Robert
got the hall. He dashed toward the
distant Georgia goat for a few yards
and then, a Georgia man reached for
him.: • But Chip handed him what Is
known ns the “straight arm.” to-wlt,
he stuck out bis hand behind a stiff
arm and kept running. So hard did
the would-be tackier from Georgia go
against the outstretched fin that Robert
smashed or badly bent the elbow Joint.
Whon he fell after McGhee's tackle
and did not get up again a sickly hush
fell over the crowd and the Tech men
groaned aloud when he was carried off
the field.
As though this were not misfortune
enough, Hightower twisted an ankle In
ths first- part of the second half, after
the most brilliant run of the day. and
was forrefi to quit the game. This left
Tech minus both her quarterbacks and
shy her regular punter. Hightower
took up the work of running the team
when Buchanan retired, whllo Wilcox
and Jones held down Robert's place.
Despite the discouragement of these
two Injuries, the Tech men played
gamely. On the offensive they fought
like demons and the way they piled In
front »f Georgia runners on defence
was n revelation.
Georgia Led Stars.
Individually, the Georgia men showed
up remarkably well. Woodruff was one
of the shining lights, and If he had had
n dry field to try hla famous quarter-
bark runs he would huve done even
better. As It was, he fought gamely,
ran Ills team well and pulled off a few
pretty broken-field performances.
McDuffey and Martin, the halfbacks,
and Bostwlek at full did notubly good
work, especially McDuffey. That play
er did the punting and was the man
who went over with the ball for Geor
gia's single touchdown.
Just How it Happened.
Boiled down to the very limit, the
■coring happened thusly:
1 The game opened with the usual
jdek-off, futile attempts to gain ground
and punts. It seemed to be Georgia’s
scheme to punt on flrst down, unless
within striking distance of Tech goal;
though the Yellow Jackets never pull
ed one off until other attempts to gain
ground hod failed.
With the ball near the middle of the
field Tech punted. Gordon Smith broke
through and made such speed down
the field that he was able to get the
ball when It fell, netting Tech a full
23 yards, but then Georgia held and
got the ball on downs. The Athenians
punted and a Tech man signalled for
a fair catch. There was some question
about this matter, but Field Judge
Phillips ruled that the signal was made.
A Georgia player off-side Interfered
with the fair catch and It was not
made. But under tho rules this In
fllcted a 15-yard penalty on Georgia
and gave Tech all the privileges of the
fulr catch. This penalty put the bull
down within easy kicking distance and
Buchanan booted It over, giving Tech
her first four points.
That ended the scoring In the flrst
half.
“Buck's" Brilliant Run.
In the second half Tech kicked off
about 33 yards and Georgia returned
the ball with a kick of about the same
distance. Buchanan "fielded" the ball at
about tho center of the field and tore
off 46 yards of the distance between
him and the Georgia goal. When he
was finally thrown, heavily, he was
badly hurt, but the ball was only a lit
tle over ten yards from Georgia's goal.
The fall hurt "Buck" so badly that he
lasted only a couple of plays more.
With ten yards to go the Tech root
ers went crazy and the team responded
by putting the ball over on the second
attempt. Davis was the man that
shoved the pill across.
There was a good bit of playing aft
er that without much doing. Then,
with the ball In Tech's possession on
her 33-yard line, all attempts to gain
fulled and Hill, who was doing the
punting In the absence of Buchanan,
tried to get away a hoot. But the line
failed Idin anil n Georgia roan broke
through and blocked the kick. Then
ahother Georgia man fell on the ball,
In Bitterly Contested Game
Athens Team Meets
Defeat.
and the Athens team was within 20
yards of the goal. Straight-line plunges
put It over, and the goal was kicked.
Georgia Cheered Up.
Then came the darkest part of the
day for Tech. Tech kicked off and
there \vas no return. Georgia punted
out of bounds and It was Tech's ball
with only 25 yards to go. Attempts
to gain netted a five-yard losa. Then
Hill dropped back five more yards for
a difficult attempt at a place klckr A
Georgia man broke through, blocked
the kick and got the ball. When Geor
gia next had to punt the hall went over
Hightower's head and though he got It
after a chase, Tech lost a world of
ground.
And right here might be mentioned
the two bad weaknesses of the Tech
team In the game—Inability to get away
punts safely and wretched work In
handling those the other fellow got
away.
After Hightower's misjudgement
Tech tried to gain and couldn't. When
the punt wus tried Georgia blocked
again and got the ball within fire yards
of the touchdown that would hove
given her victory.
But the Men From Athena (and else
where) couldn’t budge It. Four times
they passed the hall buck and four
times the runner was tackled before
he was out of his tracks. And the ball
went over. Tech ran It out atvays,
punted and was never again In danger.
In fact, another minute saw tho ta
bles turned and the Tech halve* were
ripping off 10 and 20-yards gains and
before time was called had carried the
ball down to within four yards of an
other touchdown.
The last part of the game was played
In black darkness. The stars and the
headlights of the score of automobiles
parked Just outside the side-lines fur
nished the only light, and It was feeble
to a degree. Fortunately neither team
scored during this midnight muddle.
That was how it all happened, or how
We saw It anyhow.
It was a great game and undoubtedly
the best team won.

With their little annual unpleasant,

Georgia and Georgia Tech teams can
settle back and prepare for the Ten
nessee Terrors—Vanderbilt arid Se
wanee.
Tech has the misfortune to play 'em
both In a row. Georgia catches only
Sewanee.
The Sewanee team makes its Georgia
debut here on Saturday, when the
Purple Tigers (nature Fake) play the
Yellow Jackets.
And right now Tech anticipates mak-
Ing the same kind of trouble for Se
wanee that a nest of yellow Jackets
tor . n caRe of genuine tigers
They'll sting.’em a few, all right. But
they can’t hope to win the fight.
Time was when we figured that Tech
had a chance against Sewanee. But
that was a good while back.
Right now Tech has a team which
except In the backfletd, will not com.’
pare as badly In weight with the TI-
gers. Also In experience. But there
the comparison ends. With Robert In
shape Sewanee’a ends would not have
shown up the Yellow Jacket ends. Rob-
ert Is a star man and Hill Is playing
brilliantly of late. With Robert out
the right end of the line Is weakened
though the "subs" ore good. At center
Snyder would hold his own all right

Tech’s guards, Henderson and Smith,
are steady players, and will do well
against Falkcnburg and Cheap, Davis
will stock up against an all-Southern
man In Stone, but can probably hold
up his end all right. Johnson, the "Big
Swede." la going to show all right In
the other guard position.
Behind the line Is where Sewanee
will have It over Tech. The Sewanee
backfield Is undoubtedly the most bril
liant In the South—barring Vanderbilt.
Tech has a good backfield, but it large
weight and more especially that mar.
velous speed In starting that makes the
Sewanee backfield noticeable.
On the whole. Tech has small chance
with Sewanee.
After Sewanee polishes off Tech she
goes on to Athens to play the Univer
sity of Georgia.
With Sewanee out of the way Tech
will have to begin thinking about Van
derbilt, which team ahe tackles the fol
lowing Saturday, November 18. As was
the cose last year. Tech's beat efforts
will be put forth to keep the score
low and to ecore on the McGugln ma
chine If possible. More than that Tech
can not hope for.
The flrst game of the present week
comes Monday, when Clemaon and Au
burn meet at Auburn.
This game ought to be a nice one
and will help a lot In giving local foot
ball followers a line on Clemson.
Apparently Clomson will have no
great trouble In downing Auburn,
though that Is no certainty.
On Thursday Georgia and Clemson
meet at Augusta, and Saturday Clem
son takes on Davidson, so you cen
count on It that ths South Carotins
Tigers are going to have a strenuous
week. A battle with Georgia Is about
all ,the excitement that the average
team can stand In one week.
Auburn Is not satisfied with one
game this week either. So the Ala
bama Pollys will play Mercer Satur
day In Macon.
Nothing else looks Interesting on the
Southern bill of fare. Of course Van
derbilt will snow Mississippi under ami
Virginia ought not to have much trou

SEWANEE ROUGHLY TREATED,
BUT DOWNS VIRGINIA TEAM
Norfolk, Va.. Nov. 4.—On a heavy,
wet field and In a driving rain. Sewanee
defeated Virginia here Saturday by the
score of 12 to 0. Under better condi
tions there Is little doubt that the
Tigers would have won by four touch
downs, as Virginia was palpably out
classed. •
The game was marred by roughness.
In which Virginia was the offender at
numerous times, Virginia’s men Jump
ing on Sewanee's men openly, but sel-
aom being called bv the officials. Mc-
Mundn was put out of the game soon
after the start for roughness, and Cap
tain Barrett, of Sewanee. was side
lined about the middle of the second
half for making a pass at a Virginia
man, whom, he claimed, deliberately.
Jumped Into him. Barrett's shoulder
was seriously Injured In the mlx-up.
Sewanee's ends were tripped openly-
going down the field. (Both was the
chief offender In rough play all through
the game.
At one stage of the gome things got
I so bad that Virginia was hissed by
those who came to cheer her. Virginia,
expecting at least an even fight, was
i greatly surprised at Sewanee's strength
