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 College Men Are Playing Tennis Greenville, 8.

Many be lieve that Little Rock will have to tell her franchise this winter, and should - It be placed on the market. Chattanoo ga money will make an effort to land the prize.

Athens, Ga., Nor. 12.—The Unlversl. ty of Georgia football team threw the shock of the season Into Sewanee here this afternoon when she played the Tennessee Tigers to >a llucrld finish In the first half and managed to hold thl mountain tenm down to a 1» to 0 score In the second hulf. And this stunt Georgia performed, not with the team of doulile-jointed giants that faced Tech such a shbrt time ago. but With an aggregation of bona flde students, the eligibility of only one imin on the Georgia team—Rosslter—being ques-, tinned. And to even up for this protest Georgia brought on the Held alleged— and apparently undisputed—proofs of the right to call "Skinny” Shipp a pro fessions) ball player. The Georgia giants who met Tech have gone home, never to return; and reports that they were Injured In the Tech gnme may be taken with a sinoth ered smile. » Sewanee Held Safely. In the first half Georgia never had a chance to score, but neither did Se wanee. The Athens team was badly outweighed, hut the players hod a way of oozing through the line and twining themselves around the legs of the pus. pie runners that was very disconcert ing. The Sewanee team was doubtless weakened by the absence from the line In the flrst half of W. Evans, Lewis ami Markley. Shepard started In nt right tackle, Wilson at right end. Lynne at quarter and Captain Barrett at full. Ami the result of thl* arrange ment waa rur from good. In the second half Barrett dropped back to quarter. Markley went to full ami Kill Evans returned to bolster up the Jlne. Sews ns. Scores Some. With this line-up and a little verbal encouragement from the roach between the halve* the Tigers went hack Into" the game und played up to their name and reputailon. Wltltln a few minutes they had carried the ball down under the north goal and when held Shipp dropped back nnd made a kick from placement Then the hall changed hands a hit und Shipp got a trial at a placement kick at the other goal, but It failed. After the failure to kick the second place!!’*!’! Georg!” kicked out from her 25-yard line. The punt went about 25 yards and was returned 5. A stab at the line netted a yard. Then came one of thoae famous Sewanee forward passe* that netted 25 yards. Another play around left end carried the, bull the remninlng distance to the goal line and Sklnney Shipp went over with the sphere and scored the first touchdown Bill K' .ins kicked th* goal. Then ■ ame the fastest play of the (day. Georgia chose to kick and sent Team Leaves on Thursday! Night and Returns Sunday Night.
