THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29,1907. THE FOOTBALL SEASON IS OVER—AND TECH LOST | j Dropped Dead at f* | Football Game COACH HEISMAN, Tech. NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS By PERCY H. WHITING. Was ever anything more eon elusive ot the inexpediency of using ringers and paid football players than the result of the pres ent football season. Vanderbilt, first; Sewanee, sec ond; Clenison, Auburn and Tech hopelessly tied for third place. And the athletics of every eol- , lege of the five is practically : above question and above re proach. No men on the Vanderbilt team but Campbell and Williams were ever questioned and it was proved - beyond a doubt that theso men • WreTill right. Shipp is the only the Sewanee team against whom there has been a suspicion tfjR}!it Seems impossible to prove against him. Clemson ; ahd‘Aubtirn have been above sus picion all the year. And such sus- l mc.jnn ns there was against Tech i proved to be ill-founded. If this is not an object lesson in the expediency of clean athletics i then we 're no authority on object 1 lessons. Just one other thing, to touch . lightly on a sore spot: The really heroic showing of Georgia’s rent ! team—the team made up of her ■ own students—against Sewanee | dnd Auburn, ought to be a con- ’ elusive proof to those alumni who 1 go down into their pockets with : mistaken generosity to raise money to hire “ringers” thnt it ‘would pay better to secure liigh- , priced coaches and lot them take I n chance of developing n team ; from student material. Aside from the nasty scnndals . which have resulted in the suc- ' cessful attempts of the S. I. A. A. ; to keep athletics clean within its • borders it has been a good foot- ! ball season. There have been none of those f disgraceful scenes in the .South where games were broken up in j rows nnd the officials attacked, as there wore last year. Nor has there been but one se- i rious accident resulting from football in the South—and not one among really first-class Southern teams. Sprained nnkles and broken collar bones have been ‘ as numerous as usual, but they • will soon be mended and forgot ten. One feature of the season ought not to be overlooked—and that is the rise of Sewanee. The Moun tain team, after two or three years in almost total eclipse, is now shining brilliantly. They say that the Tigers lose not a man of this year’s team. While Vanderbilt loses four of her best—Stone, Bob Blake, Craig and Costen—and maybe her moat powerful factor of success—Dan McGugin. The Commodores’ flag-ship is threatened. Unless the Nashville men take a big brace next year they may get thrown overboard before the season is out. It’s been a great football sea son. What with fights, good games, scandals and the like, we’ve had an “awfully good” time. And we’re sorry it’s over. For there will now be a long dry spell in the sporting world. COMING EVENT8 IN CYCLEDOM. Philadelphia, Pa.. Nov. 29.—Thomas P. MeCutcheon, an old "Penn man, dropped dead at the game here yester day. John S. Beamish, who started to see the game, wa« struck by a rifle bullet and seriously hurt. • | Hay Van Orman, OorneH's right end, received a concussion of the brain dur ing the game, and was taken to the hospital. Other players In various games about the city were mpre or less seriously hurt, and the hospitals were over run last night with victims of football games. John Lynch Wins Over Tom Feltz Special to The Georgian. New Orlenus, Nov. 29.—Johnny Lynch, of Boflton, put himself In the rank of the good second raters Inst night, when he got the decision over. Tommy Felt/. In n ten-round bout before the Young Men's Athletic Club. Lynch outboxed und outmnnebrered Felt*, but could not get In the knockout blow. He pounded Kelts until ho became tired and had to slow up. Kid Taylor, of Chicago, and Frank Car- sey, of New Orleans, boxed a ten-round lrtw. The agreement was If both were on CLEMSON GETS VERDICT BY VERY NARROW MARGIN Tech Defeated in Bitter Contest in Which Each Team Makes Fluke Touchdown and Clemson Has Luck to Kick a Goal—Score 6 to 5. Clemson defeated Tech here Thursday afternoon In a sousing rain by a score of G to 6. Hy all rights It should have le>en 0 to 0. Neither team bad any very marked advantage nnd'both touchdowns were made on flukes. What advantage there was be longed to Clemson. She had Tech on the defensive a good part of the time. In the first half there was nothing stir ring. Clemson had on* chance to score, on place kick from the 30 yard Hoe, hut the -.11 xraa little better than a mud pie and the kick flew wild. In the second half cams the old, old tale of fumbled kicks. For fifteen minutes after the intermission nothing ruiich eventuated. Then Clemson punted from the middle of the field, and in which they stood, but two atteuipts failed. A call for a punt came and the ball was passed back to Hill. Fast movements were Impossible In the sticky mud and be fore the ball was away on Its flight Gaston, the Tiger tackle, had tv r v. <»«•• the Tech line and blocked the kick. Then conn scramble for keeps. In a onds a dozen men had plied < tholr, feet at the end of ten rounds, a draw It took five minutes of sincere effort should be called, Carsey having refused to part of the officials to get the bunch un- welgh In. tangled. When they did It was found that both Gaston and McLaurln had the ball, This wa* a touchdown for Clemson. Me I’adden kicked the goal from a rather dif ficult angle arid that kick won the game. The next score came almost at once. Tech kicked off to Clemson's o-yard line. Allen uud Lee had a good nhot at the ball, but they missed It, und Chip Robert came through like a streak nnd nailed It within a few feet of the goal line. Luck was colled on and he iboved It over for a touchdown Hill kicked out to Emerson, who fumbled. In consequence Tech could not try at goal and the score was 6 to 6. After that nothing notable happened. The weather might have arranged to be worse, but not without special effort. A steady rain began to fall shortly after noon and It kept It up with notable per sistency an through the game. The effect on Ponce DeLeon park was what might have been expected. The naked red cfs.v softened like wnx In a fire and be fore the game started It was of a fine "gooey" consistency thut made fast playing quite Impossible. the ] In each stand and they made It merry with Given Away Free WITH EACH OUf^&?ECIAU^TOILFr RANGE During balance of this great Range Sale we are going to give abso lutely free of charge this beautiful 10-piece gold decorated chamber set—the handsomest in Atlanta— Free With Each Range of the value of $39.50 or more.

Coneh Bhaughnessy was of the opinion that Clemson would hare run up a much higher wore If the going bail been better, no were some of the officials nnd expert spectators. But Tech denies this nnd It Is hardly worth the argument anyhow. The field most emphatically WAS NOT dry and the result waa 6 to 6 In riejnton's favor. Doubtless Conch Shnughnessy had his men on the field In letter physical condi tion than were the Yellow Jackets. They had not been through the hard Sewanee and Vanderbilt games, ns Tech hud and though they had End their troubles all right the said tronblea dated n little further back than Tech'*. , The gnrae ran true to dope. Figures showed that Clemson ought to be a shade better, and she was.

For Tech "(•hip” Robert was the best i* good game that was ex- long as ho lasted, but his down under him aud he was taken out. Johnson played a steady game in his place. For n cripple Luck was a wonder. HIh line bucking was the best of the season, und he made some first-class gains. Fitzsimmons ami Adamson played nice games at half. “Fltx's" work on the defensive* wns notably good. Cherry Emerson surprised his strongest lmlrers by his good work. He made some Ice quarterback runs, handled his team ell Riid tackled viciously. Hill did neat work. His kicking, under difficulties thnt nobody who wns not out on the field nnd dragging around a couple of nounda of mud on each foot could hope to allao, wa long punts.

GEORGIA WINS OUT Finishes Season Brilliantly By Defeating Auburn. Macon, Gn., Nov. 29.—That Georgia men can play better football than hired men wns proven pretty conclusively here yester day afternoon when the Athens team stood all dope tables on thetr heads and defeated Auburn by a score of 6 to 0, playing the best ball of their career. Tho score was the result of a brilliant play. Auburn tried a forward pass In the second half that Lucas blocked, recovered nnd went over fur a touchdown. This score was the only one of the game. No pmlse could be too high for the game te shown by the Georgia team. With an aggregation which has heea through enougn this season to demoralize the best Warn In the world, to which de moralization th«* finishing touch wns added Just before the game began hy the ruling out of Coach Bocock nnd Captain Kyle for complicity In the recent ringing cases, the Athenians played a marvelously good game excitement and the Georgia rooters went GEORGIA.
