ALTHOUGH NO SCORE WAS MADE. THE tea: s were determined. TUK UNIVERSITY 1-I.AYKD UKE )>K- MOXH AOA1N8T OIIKAT 01)1)8. November 30. It was activity and skill pitted against lieef and muscle. The pigskin waved from goal to goal, hut neither side made the cov eted touchdown. The Savannah men outweighed us by an average of ten pounds. They were a heavy lot of men and seemed to have an exhaiistless supply of “ wind.,’ Captains J sutler and Walker de cided to play forty-five minutes halves. Athens won the toss, took the hall, and opened the greatest con test, before five thousand spectators over seen on a Southern gridiran. The Savannah men sbudf red when they saw the University take their positions for the Deland Hy ing wedge. This was poorly execu ted, however—only netting a gain of five yards. Then a fumble and two yards were lost. Black was sent against Savannah for three yards. Halsey added five through center. The ’Varsity found Savannah's line impenetrable in the next three plays, eo the ball was given to Sav annah. The ’Varsity played a steady game never losiug the ball except on failure to make the necessary five yards. When the Savannah men secured the ball, they bucked continually, but were held up well by our men. The timely play of the rushers caused frequent fumbles and without excep tion gain.'d the ball. Nally was especially noticable in this. His tricky plays wore phenominal and I resulted in the opposing center be- j ing changed. Our tandem plays between guard and tackle, resulted always in good i gains. Athens started from her fifteen yard iine and hy Brown’s continued running in tandem, varied with gains by tutleback, ball was carried within six inches of Savan nah's goal. It looked as if the ’Varsity boys were bound to score, but Savannah realising that defeat was staring her in the face, studded her battering ram and not an inch did she waver. While the’Varsity was thus ham mering away, time was called for the first half. Score, 0 to 0. Savannah opunew second half with V. gaining four yards, runner downed by Halsey. ‘‘Buck after Buck” was made until a fumble oc curred and Athens took the ball. Athens by slow but steady gains reached Savannah’s twelve yard line, then the ball went to Savan nah. At this juncture half-back Papv was injured and Truncliard, who by the way is a brother of “Doggy” Trench - jard, of Princeton’s, was oalled in. He was presented with the ball, he darted around right like a Hash, avoided Butler, who dove for him, Halsey, Shackelford, and knocked Fleming down, who quickly recov ered, overtook him and made the prettiest tackle of the game, pre venting a touchdown. Trcnehard gaining 110 yards. The grand stand went wild, for Trcnehard had made the run of the day impressing the crowd with his ability. Savannah then fumbled and as usual Athens covered the pigskin. The turtle hack was then used suc cessfully until time was called. Score 0 to 0. Yells were exchanged and one of the most exciting contests ever seen on a Southern gridiron was ended. The large crowd piesent, did not fail to share their enthusiasm with the University boys. The University boys enjoyed a hearty reception, especially by the University Club, were treated royally by the Savannah people and leave the city with memories of a day most pleasantly spent. Both thu military clubs, IIu£2afs and Guards extended invitations to visit them during the stay, but were pre vented by shortness of time. Five thousand people witnessed the game and the athletic fund has ! been caused to smile. During the game Smith had his nose broken in two places. Brown and Butler also received slight in juries. Mr. Ernest H. Brown, of Cornell, refereed and Mr. Wylie, of Prince ton, umpired. The decisions of hot h were received with silent assent. During the first half when the 'Varsity team was near Savannah's goal, a bull-dog, held by a Savan nah enthusiast, broke loose, ran on the field, battled with Brown’s hair, hut of no avail. This, however, raised the indigna tion of the Athens lie- who con sidered this feat done to puYnoscly interfere with their success. Misses Barrow and Walter were the University’s sponsors. They were accompanied hy Messrs. Wil kins and Whitehead, in a carriage beautifully decorated with red and black. VICTORY. THE VAIISITV TEAM VICTORI (H S OVER THE ATGUSTA ATHLETIC ASSOCIATE)N BY A SCORE OF ‘24 TO (I. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the two teams lined up at the Ex position grounds as follows: Augusta I’osltion. Alliens, Ktoki-s Light end Fricks Iteavis Light tackle Fleming Kvr, II Light guard .Smith Kallillcis.il Centre Nally liriiille Left guard Hlack Fleming L.ift tackle Mcl'iitlicon Whitney Left end Wrlghley I’hlnlsv (Quarter hack Hutler (( apt) .Millheriu Left half hack Shackelford Smith Light half hack Halsey Mathi-wson Full hock Drown Augusta substitutes Steed, < Jury, Armstlong, It. Eve. Athens substitutes llirsch, Mur phey and C. Barrow. The men of both teams were in excellent condition, but the Augusta team seemed rather nervous for their inexperience. The Athens boys were confident from the first, knowing through our Augusta hoys the kind of men they had to deal with, and relying on our own skill and practice. Mr. Ernest Brown, of the Univer sity, was chosen as referee, and Mr. John Barnes as umpire. To the vast majority, the decisions of both gentlemen were entirely satisfacto- ty* though by some of tbe disap pointed Augusta enthusiasts a little dissatisfaction was manifested. On the toss up the hall went to Augusta, Athens choosing then tin- goal. The playing was begun by a wedge which gained for the Augus ta team 14 yards At the next play Smith made a fumble giving the ball to Athens. Our boys now bucked center for a gain of six yards, followed by two successful runs through left guard and tackle for five and eight yards. Athens now lost the ball, but after gaining it, Augusta lost ten yards giving the ball again to the ‘Varsi ty boys who made a touchdown in little time. A goal was kicked by Captain Butler making the score ti to II. Augusta again started out with the ball, but in a few moments lost it. Then began steady gains for Athens principally through Shack elford's phenomenal playing, amt ending in a touchdown. The score was now ID to 0. Now Augusta formed a wedge and gained eight yards. Losing the hall after three plays, it went to Athens, and was kicked by Blown. Augusta then made a run of twenty yards. Soon Athens had the ball again and il was tbe work of only a few mi nil t • s to make an other touchdown and kick a go'.i making the score lb to n. " After a little more unsuccessful playing in which VVrigley was hurt, time was called ending first half. Tine sr.coM) iixi.k. Athens has the ball, bill gritude termination is written on the faces of the Augusta team, and only a slight gain is made. After a gain of five yards by tie- turtle back Hal sey takes the ball ami makes a good run around right end being tackled by Whitney Now by beautiful runs around right and left ends steady gains are made by the ’Var ■itv hoys, and soon a touchdown is secured, making the score 20 to 0 in favor of Athens. Augusta starts out with the hall again but as usual, soon loses it. In a scrimmage Smith has his nose broken and face badly bruised. He is plucky mid in a few minutes enters the play again. After a good deal of playing and steady gains another touchdown was made by the ’Varsity boys giving them a score of 24 to 0. No goal was kicked because in placing il tim bal I touched tin- ground and was taken by an Augusta man. The Augusta boys now seemed to play better than before but to no avail. In a few minutes time was called and the score stood 24 to 0 in favor of the University. To say the least of it, the game was u walk-over. The superior skill of Athens showed from the first that the game was hers. The Augusta men averaged at least eleven pounds each more than the Athens boys, but were clumsy and knew little of football. A large crowd witnessed the game ami went wild when the result was known.
