THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1907. SPORTING PAGE ACCOUNTS OF RECENT STRENUOUS FOOTBALL DOINGS i EDITED BY |P.H. WHITING >••••••••••••••••••••«•< 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; GEORGIA TEAMS f f IT ft IT’ Have to Tackle Vanderbilt and Sewanee Very Soon.

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 Football Games Saturday SOUTH. Tech M, Georgia 8.

But all the same I do not care, I PLAYED THE GAME. (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.

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. THE LINE-UP. Tech. Georgia.

Auburn, Ala, Nov. 4.—Auburn will play Clemson here today with a much weaker team than went up against Tech.

With their little annual unpleasant, ness out of the way—and no actuul casualties recorded—the University of 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 with Evans, 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 ble with' Washington and Lee.

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 ; and her men lost their heads com- I pletely. attempting to Injure the Ten- I nessce Tigers at every turn. The hard | rain prevented a Wg crowd turning ouL as It poured all through tha first half , and rained Intermittently during the i second. But for the heavy field, the j final score would have undoubtedly been 24 to 0 In Sewanee's favor. Shipp ivns the bright star of the game. Many times as signals were called Virginia would yell, "Look out for Shipp.” and he seldom foiled to gain from 10 to 30 yards. On account of Injuries, due to rough usage, he retired In the latter part of the second half, to make way for Eisele. Big Ed Spencer, of the Browns, has signed the pledge.
