GEORGIA FOOTBALL TEAMS PLAN FOR HARD GAMES
| EDITED BY
| PH. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
The showing of the University of Georgia football team in the
game Monday afternoon against Sewanee was one of the most
creditable which has been seen this year in the South.
With all the men of doubtful athletic standing sent home
for keeps,' Georgia tackled the Terrible Tigers with a team of gen
uine Georgia men and these players proved a credit to their nlma
mater.
Everything appeared to be against the Athenians. The team
waa vastly outweighed by Sewanee, was demoralized by the loss
at a lot of heavy men and especially by the absence from the game
of “Kid’' Woodruff, the speedy little quarterback.
And a gloom that was depressing in the extreme was added
to the occasion by the fact that a member of the Georgia scrub
team had died Monday morning of typhoid and at the very time
that the game began the bells were tolling for the funeral. The
Georgia authorities wished to call The game, hut were prevailed
upon to let it go on, which, under the circumstances, seemed the
part of wisdom.
Despite all this the Georgia team played Sewanee right off
her feet in the first half. The Tigers said after the game that the
Georgia defense was the gamest they had played against this
season.
Offensively Georgia could do nothing, hut the Red and Black
held the Tigers so safe in the first half that it was a shame.
' In the second the Tigers played with extreme desperation
and managed to run up 16 points.
’ But because Georgia feared a worse defeat, and because this
showing was better than'Tech' made against Sewanee the Georgra
people called it a victory—and rightfully so, and there was quiet
rejoicing Monday night in Athens. (
The passing of “Skinny” Shipp—and there is little doubt
hut that ho will “pass.” after the evidence in the possession of
the Georgia Athletic Association gets in the hands of the S. I.
A. A., will be a good thing for athletics in the South .
Shipp was a clever gentleman and played good .baseball and
football. A more brilliant broken-field runner and stiff arm per
former has not been seen in the South in my day.
Bnt everybody has felt all along that Shipp is a professional
baseball player and that it was not right thAt amateurs be
forced to go into competition with him.
The news that he has been declared ineligible will doubt
less soon be forthcoming and it is not unlikely that before long
Skinny Shipp will be a professional baseball player. And that
he will be a good one is the belief of all those who have seen his
college performance.
But oh, what a blow it will be to the athletic reputation of
that most sainted of all the “holier-than-thou” colleges, Sewanee.
It is a pleasure For all baseball fault to learn that the New
York Nationals will have to pay the New Orleans club the in
significant sum of $1,000 bones for the action of their merry
cut-up, “Tough .lawn” McGraw. “Jawn,” it will be remem
bered, refused to play out the game scheduled between his team
and the Philadelphia bunch and put the New Orleans manage
ment to the bad. The little flue ought to be a wholesome lesson
to “Muggs” that it is a nice and wise thing to fulfil all contracts
