RED AND BLACK
Vol. VIII.
University of Georgia, Athens, Ga., October 23, 1000.
GEORGIA WINS.
Georgia was awarded the
game in the contest with Co
lumbia on the campus Saturday,
by a score of 5 to 0.
It is to be regretted that so
well fought a game should end !
in such an unsatisfactory man
ner, though the result is not
hard to guess had South Caro
lina played out the remaining
four minutes. The ball was
Georgia’s, 5yards from Colum
bia’s goal. The points actually
scored were a touch down bj-
each team, and South Carolina I
we admit played in hard luck j
when time was called for first
half with the ball just two feet
from Georgia’s goal. Right!
here was the prettiest playing
of the afternoon, and it must be
remembered that something
other than time forbade C iro-
lina’s scoring; she had already
made two attempts to gain those
nvo feet and though the third
attempt made after (lie whis
tle blew was successful, no
less credit is due Georgia for
spoiling those first efforts and
thereby making the third too
late to be valid.
Carolina showed a disposition
throughout to contest the decis
ions of the officials. When two
teams meet and agree upon offi
cials and the length of halves,
and one is so unfortunate as to
be a half a minute shy on time
fora touch down, we say it is
hard luck tmd they have our
sympathy, but we also say it is
babyish and unsportsmanlike
to kick and threaten to leave
the field, Later, when by mis
erable fumbling (and Georgia I
did her part of that also) they
loose the ball, the officials
so deciding, they put their
threat into execution and strut
off in high dudgeon they but
confirm the impression created
by their performance in the first
half.
When the time is up for n
half, though the hall be within
one inch of the goal the game
stops for the time being. That's \
unfortunate for the team who
has the ball so short a distance
from the goal, but—its foot-ball.,
Does any one imagine there,
would have been a •'kick” if
the ball had been fifty yds in-|
stead of a few feet from the goal?
Mr. Rowbotham’s decision in
the second mooted question i«
beyond dispute. The fact that
by vigorous scrapping under the
pile that “ fell on the man that
tell on the ball” secured a “ toe
bold’ ’ on the ball for a South Car
olina man was by no means (
good cause to give it to him af-'
ter a Georgia man had fallen on
it fairly and squarely.
The statement that Mr. Row-
bothant’s decisions were “ par
tial” towards Georgia, reminds
us of the callow youths who

The (l#me and Team Criticised.
The game was disappointing.
Georgia did not play the game
she can and should have played.
It is of course easy to find de
fect- in a team’s work, hut sev
eral stood out very prominently
in this game. With hut three
exceptions our men tackled mis
erably, often they failed to tack
le at all. Then there was a
tendency to wait for the play to
get to them, rather than rush
into the play and stop it before
any gain was made. The ball
was very slow in getting to the
hacks, and they were not very
fast in getting started. When
we got the hall on a kick off
several valuable moments were
lost in determining which way
to run, and hardly any interfer
ence at all was given the run
ners.
Decidedly the best playing for
Georgia was done by Hewlette
and Calhoun. Ridley played a
good end, ami Dickinson and
Terry played steady, hard ball.
Shannon was in but half of tho
game, but did the best work in
the line. He broke through and
ami stopped several plays in
fine style.
Rut we need not fool discour
aged, for we have some splendid
material and a line coach, and
should have a quick, snappy
eleven. More hard work is need
ed. The players should try to
get on the field earlier in tho af
ternoons.
Tennis Courts.
Since the tennis courts are
now being put in condition, it
is well to acquaint the new stu
dents and to remind the old ones
of two regulations which must
be observed.
The first is, that no stu
dent who is not a member of
the Athletic Association is al
lowed to play on the courts.
The observance of this rule
will save the management the
unpleasant duty of requesting
the offender to leave the courts.
The second is, that all play-
eys are required to wear tennis
shoes. Any other kind of shoe
cuts up tiie court and renders
it unfit for use. There is but
little money allowed the man
agement, and once the courts
in condition they must remain
so for tiie rest of the season.
