THE GAM$ SATURDAY.
GEORGIA, 12; SKWAXKK, 2.
It required a lot of base lrnll enthusi

warm quilt, and Grave the cold shower

honnier's fair weather Hat; to turn the

to brave all that just to leave on the ear
ly train. A goodly number found that
enthusiasm wanting. At li o’clock the
clouds adjourned to the pacific slop.
About a hundred students pulled out on

they were half-confident of victory, even
playing a game with a college ranking
higher athletically than any they had pre
viously met on the diamond. The con
fusing reports of the Sewanee team did
not make Georgia plungers shy, and
stakes were floating around everywhere
and generally hooked.
Tlie team left their room at 4 p. m.,
and the car which brought them to the
grounds was packed on the seats and
fringed with half a hundred rooters.
The victory of Saturday was the most iv ichcs :ird on a passed hull and scores
important ever won by Georgia nine or
eleven.
Except Davis, Hall and Spain, the
team and most of the constituents from
Athens returned here on the vestibule

Prof. Morris, Dr. llorty and Dr. Camp-
hell represented the faculty at, the game.

nine chances, while Green made one out
of eight chances. As Lovejoy got no
chances in tlie game, the disadvantage of
the sun did not cut any ice. The throw

the applause of the crowd.
Sewanee s practice immediately pro

Seldon twirled a curve over the stone
