l~XF? . 3 r Till A A v "tHuA 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 Hei|ry Tliori)ton, ATLANTA, QA. „ _____ .....

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.
