This was the first game of the season here, and on ac- eount of tIk* rain, which came in torrents all during the game, little could he judged of what our team would do in the fu ture. The students and a good number of town supporters came out to see the game. The ’Varsity secured one touch down in the lirst half and one in tin* second by hard line buck ing, Hall’s playing being a fea ture of the game. The Clom- son team proved to be a very clever crowd of men. and we hope to meet them again in tin* future, when we trust it will be our good fortune to give them better treatment in the shape of weather. < ‘iirmiin, 11 mUmi, Woolley, < *.i|»t.

The Sewanee 12, (ieorgia » rile defeat of our team at the hands of Sewanco in Atlanta on Oct. 21 came somewhat in the nature of a surprise to the Mlpporters of till* lied and UnlTctli, black. None expected thill the llolm.iu. outcome would la* such a decis ive victory for our opponents, and many thought that (ieorgia would win. During the progress of the game tne weaknesses of our team were clearly shown. As regards material we proved our selves the equal of Sewanee if fullback not her superior.

However it cannot In* denied 111 itt if (ieorgia had played the game she should have done, the score would have been different, and the outcome doubtful. The game was lost through careless ness, and not through the lack of good material and efficient coaching. Saussv did his best and if the team had followed his directions there would have iieeu many more happier beings in Athens than there were. not yet developed perfect team work. Shannon. Hall, Simcox McIntosh, and Hooding, all made fine runs during the game,' and i|iiarter back Young, as usual, showed excellent quali ties for bis position, though in kicking for goals he was off. Four touch downs were made in the lirst half, but in the second, on account of the intense heat I and better playing on the part of the visiting boys, we were held down to t wo more. The Techs played fast and the players got into tin* game with dash and determination up to 1 In* very last, but no t i me did they have the slightest h scaring. The visiting boys were unable to kick the ball.and whenever they attempted it, either a kick by quarter or full back, it always proved fatal, for < Ieorgia players were most stn cessful in blocking the kicks.
