The ’qq Football Season.
Tlit> football season of ’99 is
a thing of ilif past ami tin'

Georgia lias had to represent

Captain JVlcCutcheon.
On hist Monday the commii-
tee which has in charge the se-
lection of ciiptains of athletic
teams chose Frank Mr. K. Mc-
Cuteheon captain of the 1900
foot ha 11 team.

low ed faster,” and caused her j
chances for championship hon
ors to shrink from brilliant pros
pects into a struggling possi
bility.
It was impossible for the Geor
gia team to obtain it coach until
tin* season was well advanced.
One of the most promising can
didates for the hack field was
forced to retire on account of
parental objection.
While yet early in the s >0*011,
the iptarterhnck received a
bruise which resulted in water of
the knee.
The left halfback received in
juries shortly after, which re
tired him for the rest of tile
season.
'File full hack, just before the
Tennessee game was hurt in
practice, (a ligament of his
knee was Imdlv torn I and he
was consequently handicapped
until the season’s close.
The center rush was taken se
riously ill before the Auburn
game and was

don a uniform.
Thus it enn be seen that the
Georgia team played in hard
luck from start to finish, and
yet with all this,she played some
magnificent games against hea-
teams, and several
and exciting gamei
ised before the Christmas hoii
days. The captains in the diff
erent classes have called their
nit‘ii together, and with the as
sistance of several of tin
sity players, have coachc
teams to a high degree of excel
lence. F.very afternoon finds
the men running signals on the
