Tech Defeats Grant Team
And Shows Improvement
The Tech football Irani made it* third
formal appearance Saturday afternoon
{and won ita second victory, defeating the
: strong Grant university team of rhatta*
' nooga by a score of 18 to 0.
Everything considered, the Tech showing
was a highly creditable one. and the back
ers of the local team feel highly encouraged,
though there Is no doubt but that they nre
worried over the prospect of tackling Me*
wanee next Saturday.
The Tech team played to win Saturday
—hot that was all. .Vo attempt wgs made
to run up a high score. When roach
i Ifelsman left for his trip to Georgfa-Dn-
I vldson game, he told Quarterback Jtobert
to play hi* team no harder than was nee*
' easary to win. It was realised that Grant
was not going |n he especially pussllng,
and. In consequence. It was not necessary
! to resort to anything hut straight football
j to win the game.
, Line hncka and end runs were carried with
' punts-*nd atich punts. Drown wasn't at
1 his heat, of course, but the way he got
under the pigskin and lofted It down the
' field was sensntlonsl. As a rule, his punts
’ were not especially long, because he did
i not try to make them long. Thirty-four
j yarda was, perhaps, the average. Short,
j high ones were much more to the point.
But once, In the last hnlf of the game,
j he let out and hooted the ball. It was
* after the last touchdown was made, and
. Grant kicked off toward the north goal.
The ball went, perhaps. 26 or 80 yards, and
then Brown grabbed If. He ran a step or
two to get a good swing, and then hoofed
the hall to within 10 yards of Grant's goal
—a total distance of, at least, 75 yards.
Brown's work was the most hrlHInnt of
the day, hot little High tower Is right there
when It comes to hnndlug out bouquets.
He tuck Davies' place In the line-up, and
filled It no well that the loss of
dcr, and he Is going to moke one of the
other star was hardly felt. Ills running
with the ball was of tho most brilliant
most vniuahie men on the team this year.
The other back-field men—Hubert, Sweet,
Hightower and Meant—played brilliantly,
and It is n certainty that Tech Is going
to have s strong team this year ou the of
fenslve. The defensive work was also good,
aud there was seldom any trouble In hold
Ing the rushes of the Grant backs.
If iff. at end, played a first-class game,
mid bis good-nature and everlasting cheer
fulness had a good effect on the team.
He was the mnu who fell on the ball
for the first touchdown after It had been
rrled over the goal Hue and then ftuu
bled. He was in practically all of the plays
that strayed Into his territory, aud In most
of those which did not.

Georgia Loses Opener, But
Team Does Notable Work
•Special to The Georgian.
1 University of Georgia,’ Oct. 16.—In
) her first gamo of the season, which
Georgia played here on Saturday with
2 Davidson, she showed the probability
f of developing a strong eleven for the
I season; and, although she was defeat-
‘ ed by the score of 15 to 0. this does not
I Indicate her true strength.
The work of the “red and black"
throughout was wholly consistent, and
her men finished as fresh ms when they
started. The team work was charac-
. terlxed by aggressiveness and a good
i grasp of the new rules.
This game was Georgia's maiden ef-
, fort this year, while her opponents had
« been seasoned by two gaties with very
I strong teams, and the men composing
' the visiting team were much older anil
• more mature than the Georgia men.
• In fact, of the thirteen men In the
’ game for Georgia not over three or
! four are entitled to vote.
While the score was 15 to 0, only
j two touchdowns were scored by Da-
' vldson, and those only after every foot
( of the gridiron had been hotly contest ~
j ed. The other points were secured on
' a hicky drop kick from the 30-yard lino
J by Elliott, with fifty second* to play
} Jn the last half.
It did nbt seem that either team
‘ was nble to use the forward pass suc
cessfully, for In four Instances, twice
by each team. It was attempted, and
; In none of these cases proved to be a
' ground gainer.
. So man was on the field whose tack
ling could equal that of Thurman.
> Georgia's left end. Time after time
, he broke through the Davidson line
, and downed the runner before he could
‘ get well started. Thurman Is In his
f first year at the university, and while
| rather light, Is as fast as lightning. A
I pluckier player hasn’t been seen on the
Georgia Held In years.
Fleming, at fullback, proved to be
by far Georgia's best ground gainer,
on one delayed pass he gained l!0
yards, charging through the line near
center, passing every mfin on the Da
vidson team except one of their backs,
who finally nabbed him.
The first score was made after three
minutes of play, when Denny carried
the ball over the line for a touchdown.
In bringing the ball out for a try at
goal It was touched to the ground, and,
of course, queered the play.
In the second half McKay went over
for a touchdown anjl Elliott kicked
goal.
With the ball on Georgia's 30-yard
line and less than one minute to play,
Elliott placed a great drop kick be
tween the goal posts.
The line-up:
Davidson. Georgia.

Summary—Time of hulves, 20 and 10
minutes; referee, Butler of Georgia atul
North Carolina; umpire, Sibley of
Vanderbilt; head linesman, Hugh Gor-
doh of Georgia.
Horace Ketron, captain of the 1903
team. Is back at his old position at
center, and Is playing the same ter
rific game he played back In 1902 and
1903. Ketron will* certainly prove a
world of strength to the team.
As & general proposition, a man who
- bets on a horse race ought to have a
t keeper appointed to look after *hls
money.
• But a man who goes against this
Piedmont park hand-book game ought
to have a commission appointed to ex
amine into hts sanity.
It's awful to see men "crasy from the
heat" in this chilly weather, but there
/ Is no other way of accounting for
financial doings of those who bet
; against those handbooks at Piedmont
' park last week.
{ Ait frenzied game, It ought to make
Standard Oil pink with perturhptlon.
'For all the horses “run for the book,"
and the lambs come In for a shearing,
no matter how they finish.
Talk about your "tight books"—well,
; those chaps make one that Is close to
the limit. If the natural odds on a
• horse would be 6 to 1, they give you 3
[to 1. The even money favorite Is let
‘ out In small blocks at 2 to 5 and 3 to
j 6. but you can't have much. If you
I did, the books might lose. It's a re-
t mote chance, but the bonks don't take
'■ chances. Safe and sure Is their motto.
The way they do It Is to make from a
165 to a 195 per cent book. That Is.
for every 6100 they pay out to the men
who win, they make a profit of from
965 to |95—no matter «hleh horse
, wins.
Here's how It works, taking tho
fourth race Friday hm an example.
Here are the horses, the odds and the
“bookmakers' percentage" (the book
makers’ percentage, ns shown nelow,
enables the penciler to tell what his
profit will be, provided he makes
“round boojt"—that Is. one In which
he will pay out about the same amount
on each •horse, no matter which one
wins):

The Haln .....
bettor puts up (and hence the cash
taken In by the book), and the right-
hand column the total, which Is the
amount he would pay back on each
horse If It w*on—supposing he made a
“round book" and stood to pay out
about $100, no matter which horse
won:
TECH SECOND
TEAM BEATEN
The Stone Mountain tram found tlio Tech,
second team easy pickings at Tech field
Saturday afternoon and won with ease by
score of 16 to 0. The Stone Mountain
team showed very remarkable form for so
rly In thp season, and they will give a
run to any team of tbelr weight hi the
South. The bright particular feature of
the game was the runulng of Woodruff.
This youngster Imudles himself like a com
ing varsity wonder and will make his mark
the football world.

Total per cent 206.65
Looks fine that way! No favorite
Jn the race! All long shots! The Im-
nevolent bookmaker goes you more
than you bet, no matter which horse
wins!
However, It looks a bit more com
mercial from the pencilsr’s viewpoint.
In the first place, it makes little differ
ence to him which horse wins, as he
stands to pay out about the same
amount on every horse. Here Is an
other string of dope on ft. The left-
hand column of figures shows the
amount the bookmaker bets on each and expect to keep out of the lunatic
Lorse, the middle column wIxai the asylum Is a mystery to the writer.
Total cash taken In .. ..6192
So It becomes evident that though
some lucky bettors are due to take
down 6100, the bookie Is going to pull
down a fist-full. Here Is how the pen
ciler stands:
If Foxy Grandma won he would pay
out $100, leaving a profit of $92. •
If Laura Hunter won he would pay
out |99, leaving a profit of 693.
If Ann HU! won he would pay out
699, leaving a profit or 693.
If Young Molo won he would pay out
699. leaving a profit of $93.
*If Ethel Barry won he would pay out
6100, leaving a profit of $92.
If Balshot won he would pay out
699, leaving a profit of 693.
If The Ram won he would pay out
6100, leaving a profit of 692.
As long as the bookmakers are tak
ing down 692 of every 6192 of your
money they hffndle, how long do you
think you are going to last at the
game?
And those are no unusual figures for
the Piedmont park game. In the first
race Friday the total percentage was
174—or a profit of 674 out of every
$174 on any one contest handled. In
the second race the percentage was 168
and in the third 171.
Now. It happens to be a fact that
only one man who ever played the
races and made money out of It was
"Pittsburg Phil." And, “gentle reader,"
you have about as much chance of be
ing a “Pittsburg Phil" as you have of
being a Caesar, a Napoleon, a Shake
speare or a Noah.
“Pittsburg Phil" made his money bet
ting where the Odds were liberal and
the bookmaker’s percentage small. He
had absolutely the best Information ob
tainable. he mAde the racing gnme u
life study. Incidentally It killed him,
but he made money.
• The chances of the average bettor
to do likewise against the local hand
book proposition Is somewhere in tho
region of i to 1,000.000.

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 15.—Five
touchdown, and four goal, kicked was
what Vanderbilt did to the University
of Mississippi on Dudley Held Satur
day afternoon, the score being 29 to 0.
Not once did the visitors succeed In
making the distance required In three
downs; In fhet, they never made half
of it during the entire game. The
Vanderbilt line held like a stone wall
and the two muchly-touted “All-
Southern" celebrities, Elmer and Con
ner, proved easy picking for Jo Pritch
ard and Ed Neel. The two Vanderbilt
tackles boupced them out of place re
peatedly and did not seem at all .wor
ried In handling them. Finally Jo
FHtchard was put out of the game for
being “rough” with Elmer. The latter
claimed Pritchard slugged him. Jo
says he pushed him with bis open hand
and that Elmer Is 'Vellow'' and a -big
baby. too.
Neither Conner nor Elmer got Into
many of the plays, and they did little
tackling. The star work for Mississip
pi was done by Wettlln, an end on Se-
wanee two years ago, but now playing
quarter for Mississippi.
■ The defense Vanderbilt has built up
this year has been simply marvelous.
Neither Kentucky State nor Mississip
pi was able, to budge the line a yard.
Innls Brown and Patterson are missing
from it, but in their steHd are such
stalwarts ns Kd Noel. Chorn, King,
Sherrill and others, who are playing
fast, aggressive football. Vanderbilt
has developed two fast and heady
quarterbacks In Costen and Hall. Both
run with the ball .well, call signals
rapidly and display good judgment In
running the team. Vanderbilt's gains
Saturday were made mostly on straight
football, and the big squad of Sewanee
players down to “get a line" didn't see
anything they had not known before.
Craig und the Blakes (three of them)
circled the ends for long runs time and
again, and Owsley Manler, Craig and
the Blakes bucked the Mississippi line
for long distances. Vanderbilt tried
the quarterback kick on one occasion
and made a pretty gain with It, a
Vanderbilt inan speeding out on the
end, down tho field, and getting the
balk
The Commodores were severely pen
alized on several occasions, one time
half the distance of the field being
given Mississippi. No one was se
riously hurt. A good-sized crowd was
out.

LEWIS PROVES
GOOD FIGHTER
By TAD.
New York, Oct. 15.—Jeff O’Connell,
an English featherweight, fought Char
lie Lucaa, a New York lad, yesterday
upon a West Side pier and battered
him fearfully In a fifteen-round fight.
It was at 3 o'clock that the bout was
to take place.
We all met In a bum saloon over on
Eighth avenue, somewhere near Thir
ty-seventh street, and waited for the
mitt artists.
There was a restaurant upstairs,
man with red grogans was the chef,
and- he was as busy as a one-armed
paper-hanger with the hives. The
crowd that wAited was hungry and the
red-whiskered gen£ kept tossing ham
and eggs in the crowd so fast that you
could not count the orders.
Over In the corner where the muddy
tan bark had accumulated as thick as
a mattress they had pitched the ring.
Home of the crowd sat upon u little
house built there: others had boxes,
and some stood Inside the little ring.
Jeff O’Ootinell, with a bunch of re
fined-looking gentlemen, entered first.
Jeff has a little pug nose. And a pret
ty shape, in a few' minutes Lucaa,
who looks like a "Black Hand" man,
entered with his Bharkey-llke build and
sat In a big upholstered chair. They
had n>» stools, so each man grabbed nil
arm chnlr.
It was to be fifteen rounds, break
clean, and the winner was to have
Kid Murphy as his next opponent. Kid
was introduced, said hello to some of
the fellows, and beat It back to the
crowd.
Bang, crash, sing, went something,
and the fight started.
O’Connell, who wears a swell left,
began to comb the features off Lucas
and soon had him covered with blood.
The latter was much shorter than the
Britton, and tossed a loose right around
as though he didn't care what it hit.
Jeff fed him lefts and rights until
his opponent's nose began to resemble
the beak worn by Cirano de Bergerac
and kept pelting. It wept along this
way until the sixth, and then O’Con
nell stung Ida man with a right In the
pit of the stomach. Lucas folded up
hi* knees, but he held on. He was
covered with blood, but stuck the
round opt by following the advice of
belladona plasters and hanging on.
Again in the twelfth he made Joe
Grim look like a sickly child. He
took by actual count tern on the beezer,
six bn the Jaw. four on the ear, seven
In the front und twelve on the Mbs. He
was a* hard to dow n as a big pill, and
only fell once from weakness, not a
punch.
On with the fight. The last three
rounds were slaughter. Lucas reeled
nround the ring, blood dripping from
bis mouth and nose, and he was tak- j
Ing the licking of his life. O'Connell
did not rest a minute, but belted him
from side to side.as though he was a,
bag.
It Is doubtful whether Lucas could
have gone three minutes more. He
wan a sight a* he left the ring, but
O'Connell had not a mark.

Philadelphia, Oct. to.—That Harry
Lewis ha* always been held cheaply
was proved*In the wind-up at the Na
tional Athletic t'lub Saturday night,
when. In the second round, l*e\vis got
Inside of Willie Fitzgerald's guard und
sending down Ills right, ult Fitzger
ald on the dangerous part.
The punch was delivered so quickly
that even those In the immediate vicin
ity of the ringside scarcely knew what
was coming off.
Willie went down for the limit, and
at firat showed no Inclination to get
up. When he did get up, Fitzgerald
was visibly groggy, and was compelled
to stall a bit. Lewis, however, aeeing
hta advantage, was after him. As
soon as'Fitzgerald assumed a standing
position.. Lewis w alked Into him .
Again Fits, went to the floor. By
this time Lewis was carried.nwoy with
excitement, and when young Erne tried
to throw water on his back. Lewis, for
getting himself, essayed to kick
through the ropes In the direction of
Erne's chops. This was entirely out
of order, but before Fit*, still groggy,
had c chance to get up, the bout waa
•topped by the officials.

Auburn, Ala., Oct. 15.—The fast,
plucky and aggressive team from
Barnesvllle met defeat at the hands
of Auburn here Saturday by a score
of lj» to 0. The game was one of the
most'brilliant and Interesting ever

It Is said Jimmy Britt has hopes of
