(ireat credit Is due Coach Williams for the
victory of Thanksgiving day. He took n
large amount of green material, struggled
through a sciisou where his best tneu were
constantly on the Injured list, ripened the

After seeing the masterly way the Clem-

Georgia lost to them by only 6 points to

As the demsotl team stands today, It Is

Certain It Is that the Houtli Carolina Ti
gers would not rank far, If uuy, behind
tho Tennessee Tigers.
WHAT EXPERT8 THINK.
There were a variety of opinions about
why ClcuiMon won.
“Broncho" Armstrong, the umpire, sold:
••The Tech players do not seem to bo quite
on edge. After play bad progressed n few
minutes In each half they were plainly
tinnl. (’letnsoii Otitruslied them."
Henry I'hllllps, the referee, made only
one comment, and It was. "Outplayed."
Conch Ilclsman said: "They bad older,
heavier players, and they played with what
seemed to me almost tin necessary rough-
itoss."
Coach William*' comment was: "H*u
played better footlmll, I think. If we luul
Had any renwimtble distances to gain, lu
place of the absurd 10 yards, wc would hate
won with all ease.**
Jlob Patterson, coach ami teacher at floor-
gin Military academy, nud ex-Vanderbilt
center, summed It up very nicely when In*
said: "Too much speed ami too much Der
rick and Furtlck."
Apparently Clcmsoii luul tlie better of
Tech by u shade lu almost every depart
ment of the game, save, perhaps, kicking.
The Clemson line, while It did not open
up any ldg boles, was able to prevent the
Tech linesmen from doing It. The Clcntson
backs were heavier a ml stronger men. Fur-
tick, Allen and Derrick hud every advantage
In also and weight over Hightower, Da
vies and Adamson. The Clentsoa backs
started fast, drove hard Into the Hun and
around ends, and bad a marvelous faculty |
of kreptug their feet and plowing along |
{ with the or six Tech wen clinging to |
i them.
Besides that, Tech had no man who could
. be called to run from his position lu the
, lino nud make the gains that McLnurln
| did. This man was one of the atari of
the game, and Is probably tin* best man
nud the nearest to nn All .Southern play
that Coach Williams has.
With this much oil the reasons for
Ctomson's superiority, it might bo worth
while telling briefly how tho touchdowns
were made.
HOW 8C0RE8 WERE MADE.
The game opened with tho usual perfunc
tory exchange of kick-off nud puuts and
five minutes of play found the ball In Clem-
nun's possession with 40 yards between It
and tho desired goal Hue. Mc!<aurin was
called on and carried the ball altout thirty
yards. On the Tech ten-yard linn Tech tried
j to make a stand, but McFnddcn, Clumsoti'n
querter, took the boll, ran bis required five
: yard* out from the center, located a large
, hole In the Tech defense and Altered right
through the middle of It for n touchdown.
The attevpt nt goal fulled nud there was
uo more scoring until the second half.
The second touchdown was made like so
many of them under the new rules, and
was due to the on-side kick rule.
When the second half opened Tech kicked
off and Clemson, after attempting fruit-
lessly to run the ball back, was forced to
punt. Tech's attempt at a forward pass nt
this point failed, and as the tntll hit the
ground without being touched by players of

lMiiludelpliiu, Pu., Nov. 30.—In finest
fettle and eager for the fray, tlie foot
ball elevens of the Annapolis and
West Point academies have arrived In
Philadelphia, ready for their annual
game tomorrow on Franklin field. # Ex-
tands have been erected on I lie
field and all other preparations for the
contest have been completed. More
than 30,000 seats have been disposed
of, and the usual crowd of distinguished
officers of the army and navy l:
peeled to be at the game. The t*
tury of war and the secretary of the
navy are expected at the game, along
with numerous other officials of the
veral departments of the Federal
government. Most of these will arrive
111 special trains front Washington and
New York tomorrow.
Because of the excellent showing it
has made this year against Yale and
other star team*, the West Point eleven
Is naturally a decided favorite in to
morrow's contest, though the sailor
boys front the naval academy ore
counted upon to put up u game strug
gle for tho honors.
The contest tomorrow will b©
twelfth between the football teams
the two academies. The navy has won
four and the army six. Last year they
nlnyed a tie game.
The first game between the
government institutions was played at
West Point on tin* Saturday .after
Thanksgiving. lKtto. In that game the
wearers of the black and gray, cap
tained by William Mlchle, received a
severe drubbing at the hands of the
navy by the use of the famous "Hying
wedge,” which caused such an Inter
esting crusade to be made by the mem
bers of the W. <\ T, I\ and H. P. t\ A.
against the "brutal sport." and which
was Inter barred by the rules commit
tee. The score on that occasion wu«
34 to 0.
The return gume wus played oil the
navy’s grounds, on November 30 of
the following year, before the- (for
those days) very (urge crowd of 3,ooo,
and resulted in the army retrieving Its
former defeat to the tune of 32 to 16.
For the third game of the series tho
navy again traveled up the Hudson,
and although the army teum out
weighed them seven pounds to the
man, the contest resulted In a 12 to 4
victory for the sailor boys.
The army went to Annapolis on De
cember 3, 1893, entirely confident of Its
ability to carry a victory back to West
Point. It returned, however, with such
heart-breaking figures as navy 4.
army 4.
The games were then discontinued
until December 2, 1899, when the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania first enter
tained “thd nation's heroes” on Frank
lin field. The navy could not stop tho
fierce plunges of the army backs, who
were determined, and who succeeded In
wiping out the stuin of the defeat of
1893—17 to 6.
On December 1, 1900, the navy waa
again the victor,, the final score being
navy 11, army 7.
It was at Franklin Held on Novem
ber 30, 1901, that the blue and gold
first met the famous Duly, who started
the army's scoring by placing a beau
tiful drop from, the Held squarely be
hind the goal posts near the end of the
first half and literally kept the ball
rolling until ut the close of the game
the score stood army 11, navy 5.
At the contest of 1902, which took
place on November 28, the first of tho
army’s big scores was plied up and the
middies returned to Annapolis to dream
of army 22, navy 8.
Kxaetfy one year to the day and date
•• soldier boys rubbed It in on the
navy to the mournful tune of 4o to 5,
and the midshipmen went buck deter
mined to do or die in their next at
tempt.
With this determination strong upon
them, they came to Philadelphia two
ago. and by one of the gantest j
fights ever watched by u phenomenal 1
rowd they fought their heavy oppo-i
nent.s all over the field, and by nn al
most superhuman effort kept the fig
ures down to army II, navy o.
Lust year the contest was trans
ferred to Princeton and resulted In a
magnificent tie game, the score stand
ing ut the close 6 to 6.
