1 I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22. MOfi. Indians on Warpath Against Vandy ^Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. MHHHMMMtHlltHMHHIMMMIHMMHIttlHMMtlHlINUIMMHHtHmMtHHUlWHItMHNMMt | NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS j Georgia «uil Auburn, if appears, intend playing their Thanks giving day games in Atlanta in the future, after this year. Ar rangements are being made to secure Piedmont park. Up to 1904 Georgia and Auburn met annually in Atlautu on Thauksgiviug day, and the game was regarded the supreme athletic event of the year. But that was before Tech’s phenomenal rise in college sport. In 1904 a three-year agreement was effected between Tech and Georgia, by which Tech was to play its Thanksgiving day game in Atlanta without competition, Georgia and Auburn going to Madon. It may be that the return of Georgia and Auburn to Atlanta will renew the bitter feeling that formerly existed between the red and black and the old gold and white. It is certain that both teams will suffer financially if the two games are played here at the same time. The three-year agreement expires this year. •Vow is the time for Tech and Georgia to revise their old plans of procedure and arrange them so that they will meet on Thanks giving day in Atlanta. This will not necessitate Georgia's giving up playing Auburn, or Tech's brenking with Clemson. These games may be played ear lier in the season. Georgia and Auburn could alternate their games between At lanta. or Macon, and Birmingham; Tech and Clemson could alter nate between Atlanta and Columbia. Georgia nnd Tech are natural rivals; their meeting should bo the most important game of the year for each. It should be played on Thanksgiving day. And Auburn finds Alabamn her natural rival, just as Clemson had rather lick South Carolina College tljan any other. Coach Williams of Clemson Has Had Successful Career Indians Are Husky Tribe; Betting Rather Freaky By PERCY H. WHITING. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 22.—Every thing In Nashville In In readiness for the big game between Vanderbilt nnd the Carlisle Indians. The weather In cool but fair. The held Is soft, but hot dressed In mud, ns might expected, from the recent rains. The Indians arrived last night, twenty-six strong. While they aro a chunky and bow-legged, red-faced bunch of braves, they do not look to be much larger than Vanderbilt. Every man of both teams Is In great condition. The betting Is the weirdest feuture of the occasion. About 4 1 Is the prevailing price, but numerous freak bets, many of them at Iqng odds, are being recorded. Vanderbilt men expect to score and tho Indians are worried over the out come. The Atlanta delegation, over fifty strong, urrived In Nashville early this morning. Other Southern cities are pouring their delegations Into the city, and It Is estimated that a crowd of 8,000 will see the game. This will tax the seating capacity of Dudley Held to the utmost and probably call the standing-room-only sign into use. Tech Will Leave Friday For Macon to Play Mercer It looks ns though Tech’s athletic authorities bullded wisely Indeed when , they planned Hnturduy’s game with Mercer. Following Immediately upon Mhe hard game with Vanderbilt last Saturday, the weather this week has been so warm as to make hard practice • practically Impossible, so that Tech's igupportets are feeling better than If Jt(ie team were scheduled for a gruelling icontest on Katurday. • The game with Mercer, while In no Wise underestimated by Tech, will be • merely practice, us compared with the one which faces them just one week .from today, of course. Tech expects to win from Mercer, but It Is hardly thought that any special attempt will be mad’* to run up a big score, ilols- man will probably use a good many of • his strong second 'varsity %' , iycrs, thus ■ avoiding any possibility o* injury to bis best men. Reports from Macon In dicate that Mercer is training hard, ;*nd a desperate effort will be made to hold Tech to a lower score than that i which Georgia outdo against the Ma con boys. Practice has been contin uous at Tech Held all this week, but muddy grounds nnd warm weather have combined to prevent any. very strenuous work. Tho some reports coine from Macon, but you can Just put It down that the Itaptlsts will be tight there with the^best they have in their shop Hnturday, and will endeav or to give the Yellow Jackets a warm reception. The game In many features resem bles that of last Saturday, except that Tech Is to play the star role this time, while the Macon boys’ best efforts will be to keep the score down ns much ns possible and to score If they can. Tech is expecting to play before a good-slxed audience, as this Is the flrst time the Inhabitants of the t’entrnl City have had an opportunity to see the Yellow Jackets at work. It has been a good many years since one of Heis- man’s football teams has played In Macon, and a large crowd Is expected to turn out to see the game. Tech team will probably gw down Friday afternoon to get a good night's rest and be In simp* for the game Satur day. The last big game for Tech occurs on Turkey Day. Tech and Clemson battle for supremacy that day, nnd you can lay a bet with big odds that It will be a battle from the flrst call to . the Anal blow of "time’s up.’* In 1904 Helsman’s, flrst year at Tech, he played his old team to a tie—0 to 0. Last seasan was a victory for the Yel low Jackets, This season's game prom Ises to be one of the greatest of the three. The accompanying picture Is Clemson’s coach, C. R. Williams, who will do his best to defeat his old rival in the game, Helsman, he having turn ed the trick once. Mr. Williams flrst became prominent In football circles at St. Albans, Va., a prep school In Virginia known for the Hne athletic teams always turned out. tr playing there tor several years ... went to the University of Virginia. He played four years at end on this team, one of the lightest men who ever made the team. The South Carolina College was fortunate to secure Mr. Williams for the season of 1902. His success with that team was a topic discussed throughout football circles In the South. With that team he was able to defeat Clemson (coached by Helsman, now at Tech), which hitherto had defeated every opponen by a large score. From this moment Mr. Wil liams’ name as ly coach was made. He returned to Carolina the next year and the team had another successful sea son. Last season Mr. Williams coached Davidson, and, with a light team work ed out a highly successful season, hold ing North Carolina to 0-0 and defeat ing the N. C. A. and M., also Auburn This Is his flrst year at Clemson. So far his team’s goal has not been crossed, showing an admirable defense, after playing teams of the V. P. 1. and N. C. A. nnd M. calibre. This season at Clemson he has had a lot of hard luck in the way of sickness and Injuries among his squad, but things seem to be moving along nicely now In the South Carolinian’s camp, and they can be counted to give Tech a corking good fight Thanksgiving day In Atlantu. Williams has never had his team scored on over three touchdowns dur ing his career as a coach. He believes In good, old fashioned football, and Is not so much in using tricks as having a team able to break them up. Mr. Williams’ work stands out dis tinctly as a Southern coach, he being one of the few men from a Southern college to attain the degree of success C. R. WILLIAMS, Coach of the Clemson Tigers. that has befallen his efforts. He is a member of the board of officials for the middle Atlantic states, nnd has been called on several times this season to officiate at some of the games In the East. Mercer Hopes to Score Against Tech Saturday lc The Georgian. Macon, Oa., Nov. 22.—The Mercer football nquad la hurd at work this weak preparing for the game with Tech next Saturday. Of couree, her chance, nre very allm In regard to winning the game, but nevertheleae thla doea not dlacouragd her In the Icaat. She la going In the game to give Tech a hard run for her money, and the |>rnbab!lltlea are that they will come near ecorlng against Helaman'a aturdy bunch of warrlora.

Georg ia and Tennessee Hold Each Other to Naught f*|Mvlnl t«» Tho Coortftmi. Athens, (la., Nov. 22.— In one of tin* prettiest games of football seen here for some lime, the football team of ; Georgia and the champions of the Uni versity of Tennessee »tniggled fiercely up and down the Held without running up a point against one another. Geor gia had the better of the argument In most of the game, hut they were unable to score. Georgia'* goal line was never lit danger, however, while Georg!u crossed Tennessee's line on two different occa sions, which Referee Kluke did not al low us touchdowns. The Interference of the crowd In one case and the fact that the ball was out of bounds in the Utie > the ms assigned by the eferee for his rulings. Georgia also made a safety, hut In this case also tho ruling was against her, as it was • Inline.I that the men had called down. Georgia put up the best ball they have played this season. Every mem ber of the team was there with the goods. Tennessee’s men were also "all to the randy.” For Georgia. Harold Ketron at cen ter starred; Thurman’s tackling was sure un«l terrific, while llarmnn and Hodgson did great work In returning punts. Raoul’s line bucking proved a sure ground-gainer for Georgia. For Tennessee. Perry at fullback did star work. Loucks' punting was a fea ture of the game.

To the Sporting Editor of The Geor gian: In the best game of foot bull * ever seen on the Gordon Held the Chatta nooga High School met defeat at the hands of the Prep champions of Geor gia In a score of 17 to 0. - The score ouhl Indicate that It was a one-sided mtest. but this was not the case. The Chattanooga team Is the best which was ever on the Gordon Held, with the exception of Mooney, of Tennessee. Often the Chattanooga hoys were within striking distance of the gout line, when the Gordon team, with the grit for which they are noted oVer this entire country, would rally and stop the terrific bucks und end plunges of their adversaries. The great feature of the game was the 75-yard run of Captain Williams and a touchdown— the longest run ever made on this Held. The hero of the game was Prout, of the Gordon team, who covered fullback po sition for the flrst time. Prout Is the heaviest man on the Gordon team, und It was predicted that he could not get air enough into his lungs to last him through the game. Bui he was there and delivered 30 and 40-yard gains, sometimes in succession. Once he tore through Chattanooga’s center and Car ried what looked like their entire team up the Held, tearing like a steam NAT KAISER & CO. Bargains in unredeemed Dia monds.

The measure Is not yet a law, however, und it Is proposed to Hght against its passage. The New Orleans Baseball Associa tion has purchased a line piece of ground within the prescribed limits the purchase was made before the or dinance was Introduced and evidently caused the measure’s introduction—and it is proposed to construct thereon one of the ffnest baseball parks in the country. Forty-seven thousand dol lars was paid for the ground nnd the Improvements that are proposed would cause an additional outlay of 340,000. It was some , time ago decided to leave Athletic park, the present league grounds, but It may he another season before the removal tukes place. If the low goes into effect the association will have to hunt up nnother locality, which would mean an out-of-the-way place because the terms of the ordi nance will prevent its location on any where near tho principal street liner, TOURNAMENT POSTPONED Special tu Tin* Georgian.'
