Z ROSSITER CORNWELL BLACK HUWATCHEK The Savannah football team, pictures of four members of which appear above, is a bona tide amateur organiza tion. It has gained considerable noto riety by reason of the fact that It stnndH practicAly alone in its class ns a city teum. Much has been said about professionalism, but Havannah has no professionals. The Blue and White team is com posed of John Artley, captuin; Will Artley, George Butler, Joe Itosslter, Joe Black. Berdie Hullivan. Harry All. Hu. watebeck. Hhuey, Seely, Morgan, Mon roe. Naglor, Powers. Wortham, Ous Smith, Cornwell, Palmer and Colquitt.

P. 1. two Georgia's squad in 1897, and In 1898 made the Southern record for the mile run. which he still holds. The team averages about 175 pounds in weight. Not having had the ad vantages of a coach, and being obliged to confine their pructlces to two nights a week, go into their games handi capped. The record of the team for the pres ent year Is: November u—Savannah, 2!*: Flori da, 0. November 13—Havannah, 27; Stetson University, 0. November 29—Savannah. 39; Jack sonville. 0. December 1—Savannah. 12; Geor gia, 0. The season begins In Savannah In November and ends January 1. The team is not yet in first-class shape, but will be by Christmas, when they have their hardest game with an Ag gregation representing Charleston. The record for seven years shows that Savannah has made t>3H points to her opponents' 6. An effort will be made to organize euriier next year and play any colleges which will play. NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS HIIIHHHMIMMMtMMUMHHIHHHHHIlHHHMHHKHHIlHIIHHHHHMMIIMIIMIMMHIHt BY PERCY H. WHITING. The college football teams in-Georgia did not win any cham pionships this year and the entire state will not furnish more than one All-S. I. A. A. football player. But you have to hand it to them for perseverance, hard work, honest effort and file-tested grit. Tech started off the season equipped largely with au athletic field and coach. Also there was a very small amount of footall “material.” How to combine the three into a football team which should uphold the athletic honors of Tech was the question. The wonders Hcisraan wrought have been evident all the season. He dug up a quarter-back off the baseball team. He operated on a punting end and brought him hack to college. He made a couple of good half-backs out of very light, and in one ease very new, material. lie developed one full back, saw him ruled out by the S. I. A. A. and then developed another. He pieced together a line out of athletic odds and ends and it held through the season ns well as most lines mnde nut of better ma terial. FRED S. STEWART & CO 6 Peachtree Street.

The victories came from hard train ing, constant purctioc and willing effort.

Georgia assumed the defensive from the first, finding that she could not make the re quired distance. A local enthusiast, well blessed In this world's goods, lias offered $l,00o toward getting Tech or Clemson t»» play here next season, and It Is more than probable that a game will be ar ranged with the latter. Efforts to get Tech to play a post-season game Inis year were unavailing. Havannah, Gu..

Down in Athens there lias been another plucky football fight. Hampered by lack of good material, handicapped by a "paat,” Georgia, under the guidance of Coach Whitney, built up a team which played fair, fast football and wound up its col lege season with a victory over its proverbial enemy—-Auburn. At Mercer tho fight was of even a more up-hill character. Coaeh Tarr opened his season with nothing at all but a deter mination to build up a good team. Of course lie. eould not hope to turn out a winner in one year, butlie built up u team that did well. At Dahlouega there was another hard fight to get football results; but.there,,11s at the other Georgia colleges, the players swung to it with a will and finally, with the aid of Coach Craw ford and nTof of hard work, turned out a - tenm which went through tlie seasbn in a highly creditable manner. Tlie Georgia football season of llHIti has not been the most brilliant on record.' But it has been one which has done much toward the up building of football—and honest athletics of all kinds. .Vanderbilt, .Vanderbilt .Vanderbilt Vanderbilt, PLAYED BALL DECEMBER When all Is *ald and done the only way to pick au All-S.
