I FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS Football Under New Rules Proves Pretty Good Game The question of what the public Is to expect of football under the new rules waa not answered ut Tech field Sat urday. Tho new "forward pass waa trieu rery little. Maryville fought very ally of tt and the Tech men let It severely alone In the first half. In the second when things were going against the local players, It was tried a fejc times 1 once with great success. The ball was i passed twice behind the lino and the Iplay appeared to be going toward the (left end. Then, of a sudden, the man with the ball turned and passed It for* ■ward to a man waiting far ahead. The ball sailed high In the air, land- led right nnd the runner was off with t jt In a whiff, making a good gain. That 1 was the only pnss of tho day which 1 really worked, fiut it was an Indication of what may be expected later. Hero Is the forward pass rule In full for tho benefit of those who are ■till' mystified by the play: "The forward pass shall bo allowed to each scrimmage, provided such pass : be made by a player who was behln the line of scrimmage when he ball was put in play, and provided the ball after being panned forward, does n t touch the ground before being touched by a player of either aide. *"The pass may not be touched by a nlnver who was In the lino of scrim mage when tho ball was put In play except by cither of the two men play- ingTn the ends of the line •* " . .. -.1 nVfir II VVrwa d Pose over the line of acrimmage Within a space of five yards *n each side of tho center shall be “""A*forward pnss by the side which does not put the ball In play In a scrimmage shall he unlawful. A forward pass which crosses the goal line on tho fly or bound without touching a player on either side shall be declared a touchback for the de fenders of the goal." The "onside” kirk Is going to make a lot of difference. Once In Saturday's game the ball was kicked 35 yards down the field by a Maryville man and received by the Tennesseeans, who gained at least 40 yards on the play. In years past If one team kicked the ball Its members eouU* not touch It again with some exceptions until it laid been touched by members of tho other team. Now, when the hall Is kicked it belongs to the man who geta In speaking of football ur.dor the new rules, Coach niekson sold: "The forward pass amounts to noth ing In mid-season games between teams of anywhere near equal strength It Is a hopeless play, I do not expect It to be tried, except as a last resort, aside from practice games and games where one team Is hopelessly out classed, -The onside kick Is another matter. I expect to ppf ft lot of short kicks and a high premium has been placed on th«> man who can make sure, accurate kicks nnd who can tell Just how far his kicks are going. This Is of the greatest Importance and a new kind or kicker will he developed by all success ful trains—a kicker who can get away the hall fast anil surely for short dis tances. "The ten-vnrd rule seems pretty se vere to mo. It Is hard to see how teams can make the distance. And I can tell you one thing. It will ho the cause of n lot of accidents. I expectjto see more this year than ever before.” Maryville Proves a Tartar, But Tech Escapes Defeat TECH «. i .. MARY '!, I VTwm "The Footlmll Nuvonu wns on ‘ * n,m ♦ion at Teel, field Saturday afternoon wl.™ lha Georgia School of Technology ton... played the opening game of the aenaon against tho Maryville team, nnd drew a tie Score, 6 to 6.

An a spectacle It waa fine, na football It waa a lilt crude, nnd to Tech men It wns ■ and surprise. Tho Maryville game .vna down on the schedule na a "practice game."

Tin' Maryville team In Just naturally a warm proposition, ..ml It was no dlncredl! to Tech that hor team aecnred only n tie, though far ho It from any of us to sug gest that It won not a surprise. The Tennessee team Is nuule up or hus ky, fast men, averaging K»t pounds In weight and trained to the minute. They have been up ngainst the "new football" gtnre the enrly part of September, and Sat urday they were playing their seeoud game. Under Coach Dickson they have learned n lot of foothnll, new or old, nnd on their Saturday form they would have puzzled any team In the South. The Terh team, on the other hnnd, wns only n suggestion of the bunch which will represent the local college n month hence.

Tech luck nnd Tech pluck saved the dny lifter Mnryvllle hud scored n touchdown In the second hnlf, nnd seemed to have tho gnme cinched. The team tore loose, nnd by whirlwind tactics enrrled the boll down the field for a touchdown nnd kicked goal. Maryville's touchdown was due to nti nc- cldeut, though an accident that their own netlvlty made possible. Maryville held Tech on 'Peril's 15-yard line. The Yellow Jackets tried to kick out of danger, but "nig" Sanisei broke through, blocked the kick nnd went over for u touchdown. Tho line-up: Tier 11- Position.

In the hurry of getting together teams, hammering them Into shape and playing the tpenlng games there ts danger that this fact iuiiy l>e overlooked. By the general public the game «*r i«oi- Imll stands under Indictment on the charge Hint it is brutal, dangerous to life ami limb, that It Is rotten with commercialism am professionalism, that it is guilty of several pther thlugs too numerous to mention, hut lias! some of them nil too true. And It is up to the football tenuis «»r to prove themselves not guiltj. An alibi is not sufficient. If tho chnrges come up again this fall and tho verdict goes against the game then football will be abolished by practically every respectable college in the l tdted nn education nnd such other emoluments n happened to come along with it >f the professional itl me irniup »«uu-t«- emne ail artaj of IU -brutality, disreputable tactics.11 re ,rt to all kinds of unfairness, anything thnnkfuln.—. - did uot. as a rub', get ns ba.

Football Prospects of Georgia Are Bright Speclnl to The Georgian. Athena, Ga., Oct. 1.—Football prac tice at the unlveraity Is well under way, and under tho able coaching of Coach Whitney the squad Is rapidly being moulded Into fine form. Mr. Whitney played on the Cornell team In 1901 na tackle, then he finished college and took up coaching as a pro fession. Under his coaching Sewanee turned out two very successful teams in 1903 and 1904. Last year he served as coach at North Carolina A. & M. At this stage of the game it is too early to make any* predictions, but If early season form counts for anything, it looks as though Georgia will have a very successful team. W. O. Marshburn, from Barnesville, Gn,. a member of the senior law class, is tho manager of the team. Although Captain Lowndes’ resig nation from the captaincy of the foot ball team, on account of parental ob jections, is much regrtRtcd, the uni versity and the team are to be con gratulated upon having such a splen did player and able leader as Loring Raoul, of Atlanta, chosen to fill Lowndes’ place. Raoul is not only prominent on tho gridiron, but is a star trac k athlete. Under his captain cy the 1906 track team met and de feated tho strongest teams in tho Southern Inter-Colleglato Athletic As sociation. It will be femembered that Georgia won the three-cornered meet DARLING WINS HANDSOME CUP Thu Anal* for the second cup offered by the Atlanta Athletic Club In connection with the Trawlck cup were won by F. 1*. Darling who defeated 1*. II. Whiting 4 up and 3 to play. Mr. Darling played a steady gnme while hi* opponent gave nn excellent Imitation of a man trying to play golf without looking at tho hall nnd pnt up sueh nn exhibition that S'alnt Andrew, the patron saint of golf, Immediately there after resigned Id* Job. NOTES OF THE SPORTS "Billy” Hogg, of the Highlanders, allowed the White Sox hut five hit* in two games. McGlynn Is the best man McCIoskey, of St. Loots* has signed this season.’"' Ho was a wonder In the Trl-Stute League. The Boston Americans have been doing better work under the management of "Chick" Stahl. Only a winner goes In baseball. The Ginnts are playing to small crowds In New York. President Ptilllnra has given up the idea of buying the Boston Nationals,. nnd will tight for re-election to the league presi dency. Blgley, the new National League um pire, comes from the Central League, where he had a reputation of giving a good beat lug If Mr. Player was not good. For the second time, "Pink” Hawley has won the Wisconsin State League pen nant with his I*aCrosoe team. In the Eastern League, Baltimore took third place from Rochester by 1 point.

Satur day the gras* wns long nnd holding. Fast rupniug nud accurate kicking In such a hay tiehl were impossible. It Is hard to give especial credit to any members of the Tech team, for all did so well. Every man lu tho aggregation did hi* best, and the candidates all showed great promise. Campbell. Foster nnd Mngltl were the star* for Maryville. Campbell's work on secondary defense was brilliant. Foster did great work at right half, and Magill delivered the goods In Ids position. Hunt, the 143 pound center, did excellent work, and showed himself to be one of the most hrllllnnt players for his weight ever seen on Tech field. The whole Maryville line chnrgei 1 low ami worked hard. Robert acted ns captain for Tech during the Maryville game. A regular captain has not ns yet been elected. Not n man was tnj during the game, and taken out Saturday’s game was n record-breaker In regard to “elapsed time." It started at 3 /clock nnd was over by 4.

Every afternoon, rain or shine, about fifty candidates are out on Herty field trying for various positions. Up to Thursday afternoon, when the first scrimmage was tried, the candidates had light work. Tommy Stouch, coach of the 1906 baseball team, is in Athens acting as trainer for the football team, and also as assistant coach. About seven or eight of last year’s team a-ro back at work, and a host of new husky material Is on hand. The two largest men on the squad are "Great" Scott, who Is about six feet three Inches tall, and weighs something very close to 250 pounds, and Cleve land, of Griffin, who weighs 265 pounds and extends six feet two into the sky. Among the candidates for the va rious positions are: Quarterback—Graves, Hodgson, Lip- schutz, McDonell and Porter. Center—Harmon, Arrendale, Webb. Davison and Walker.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.—-George Thom as. of San Francisco, easily beat Harry Lewis, of this city, in their six-round bout at the National Athletic Club Saturday night. In the first round Thomas had an ugly fall, but was on his feet In an instant, and to the sur prise of the spectators, sent a ripping left to the Jaw. There was a clinch, and although Thomas was slightly winded by his fall, he managed to send in another to Lewis’ jaw as the gong sounded. Auto Race Candidates Do Some Dare-Devil Stunts New York, Oct. I.—Snch a dare-devil lot of doath-dofylng merchants In high speed were never before gotten together ns are to be seen each morning now flying along the Long, Island roads, hitting only the high places, ns they tune up for the Van derbilt cup race, which rs to be decided a week from Saturday. Beside gome of these foreign drivers, the performances of "Dare Devil" Joe Tracy might qualify him for the position of the chauffeur for nn old Indies' home, but do not put him In line of winulng, provided the men nnd machines from over the wiifcr hold together until the rare Is over. Smell wniukr the natives have borrow ed a wortl from the Chinese, nnd cnll these men "foreign devils." That I* what they do call Iuiucln, Durny flerrny, Nnzznrro, nnd the r-'st of those who have, In the gray of the morning, gone ripping over the oil- soaked roads with reckiiss disregard of their owtf live* nnd limits, or the safety of their ponderous and costly racing ma chines. The expression somehow seems to fit to a nicety. Those black, swarthy men, with their goggles anti air of Irrepressible brav ado remind one of hln Satanic majesty ns he is popularly pictured, as they ram-jam over hte course nt n rote that omlost put the fents of l'racy, the greatest ensues- fakir of America, on a commonplace level. The word has been passed along that the winner of the Vanderbilt cup this year Mill have to average, nt least, a mile s minute. The "foreign devils" have ths iden firmly wedged Into their brains. If they can, they M'ant to do a trifle batter than that, so ns to leave a margin to off set any surprise M'hich Tracy, or bis Amer ican fellows, may see fit to spring oa them. Lancia declares he can and will mnks the 30 miles of the course In twenty-livi minutes. Henny, who triumphed on the Vanderbilt course last year, says that be will "out- devil" Tracy or any of the "foreign dev ils.' ‘COACH” CROZIER RISES TO EXPLAIN Richard Crozler, of the Atlanta base ball team, has gone to Wake Forest to take up his duties as physical director and coach. Dick will be back In At lanta for the opening of the soda wa ter, candy and clgnr store which he and Otto Jordan will conduct, and will also spend the Christmas holidays here. Dick wishes to correct the Impres sion that he wants to leave the At lanta baseball team. "The articles In local papers did me an Injustice," said Dick on Saturday. "I closed the deal whereby I was to get my release this fall, before Smith became connected with the team and long before 1 de cided to engage in business here. In accordance with our agreement I got my release, but you can say for me that If I play on any team next year It will be the Atlanta team. I am per fectly satisfied with my,position there, I like the town and I never expect to get any better treatment anywhere than I have here. I like Atlanta and I hope to make my permanent home SMITH EITHER DID OR DIDN’T Either Billy Smith Is talking two ways or somebody misquoted him. According to Grantland Rice, who sel dom makes mistakes and never mis quotes, Billy said: "I picked up a pair of wonders In the Central League.” According to a Springfield, Ohio, dis patch, Smith said: "I didn’t see a man (In the Central League) that l would want on the Atlanta club.” Billy ought to get a little better team play out of his press agenti. here.
