especially uotioable tu this. His
tricky plays were pheuominal and
resulted in tho opposing center be

Our luudi m plays between guard
and tackle, resulted always in good
gaius.
Athens started from her fifteen
yard line and by Browu’s
continued running in tandem, varied
with gaius by tutleback, ball was
carried within six inches of Savan
nah’s goal. It looked as if the
’Varsity boys were bound to soore,
but Savannah realising that defeat
wus staring her iu the faoe, studded
her battering fuiu and uot an inch
did she waver.
While the’Varsity was thus bain-

November 30. It was activity
and skill pitted against beef and
muscle.
The pigskin waved from goal to
goal, but neither side made the cov
eted touchdown.
Thu Savannah men outweighed
us by au average of ten pounds.
They were a heavy lot of men
and seemed to have an exhaustions
supply of “ wind./
Captains Duller and Walker de
cided to play forty-five minutes
halves.
Athens won thu toss, took the
lmlS, and opened the greatest con
test, before live thousand spectators
over seen on, a Southern gridiron.
Thu Savannah men shuddered
when they saw the University take
their posilions for the Delaud fiy**
iug wedge. This was poorly execu
ted, however—only nulling a gaiu
of five yards.
Thcu a fumble und two yards
were lost. Black wus scut against
Savannah for three yards. Halsey
added five through center.
Tlie ’Varsity found Suvauiiah’*
hue iiu pencil able tu the uexi throe
plays, so the ball was given to Sav
annah.
The 'Varsity played a steady
game never losiug the ball except
on failure to make the ueccseary five
yards.
When tho Savanuah uicn secured
thu ball, they bucked ooutiuually,
but were held up well by our meu.
The timely play of thu rushers oaueod
cur red and Athens took the ball.
Alliens b) slow but steady gains
reached Savannah's twelve yard
line, then the ball went to Savan
nah.
At this juncture half-back Pupy was
injured and Trcuchard, who by the
way is a brother of “Doggy’’Trench-
ard, of Princeton’s, was called in.
11c was presented vfitli the ball,
ho darted around right like a Hash,
avoided Duller, who dove for him,
Halsey, Shackelford, and knocked
Fleming down, who quickly recov
ered, overlook him and made the
prettiest tackle of the game, pre
venting a touchdown. Trcuchard

went wild, for Trcuchard had made
the run of the day impressing the
crowd with his ability.
Savannah then fumbled and as
usual Alliens covered the pigskin.
The turtle buck was then used suc
cessfully until time wus called.
Score 0 to O.
Veils were exchanged and one of
the most exciting contests ever soeu
on a Southern gridiron was euded.
The large crowd present, did uot
fail to share their enthusiasm with
the Uuiversity boys.
Tho Uuiversity boys enjoyed a
hearty reception, especially by the
Uuiversity Club, were treated
royally by the Savauiiah people and
leave the eity with memories of a
day most pleasantly spent. Both
the military clubs, Uuaaara aud
Guards extended invitations to viait
them during the stay, but were pre
vented by shortness of lime.
Five thousand people witnessed
the game and the athletio fund baa
been caused to smile.
During the game Smith bad his
nose broken in two places. Brown
and Butler also received slight in
juries.
Mr. Ernest H. Brown, of Cornell,
refereed and Mr. Wylie, of Prince
ton, umpired. The decisions of both
were received with silent assent.
During the first half wlieu the
’Varsity team was near Savannah’s
goal, a bull dog, held by a Savan
nah enthusiast, broke loose, ran on
the field, battled with Brown’s hair,
but of no avail.
This, however, raised the indigna
tion of the Athens boys, who con
sidered this feat doue to purposely
interfere with their fuoces*.
Misses Barrow and Walter were
tho University’s sponsors. They
were accompanied by Messrs. Wil
kins and Whitehead, in a carriage
beautifully decorated with red and
black.
VICTORY.
THE VARSITY TEAM VICTOIil
OLS OVER THE ATGU5TA
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BY
A SCORE OF 24 TO 0.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the two teams lined up at the Ex
position grounds as follows:
Augusta Position. Athens.
.Stokes Right und Fricks
Uuavis Right Uckle Fleming
Eve, II Right guard Smith
Kalbfieisch Centre •' Nolly

Smith Right half bock Halsey
Miithuwftou Full back * Brown
Augusta substitutes—Steed, Gary,
Armstiong, R. Eve.
Athens substitutes—Hirsch, Mur
phey und C. Barrow.
Tho men of both teams wore in
excellent condition, but the Augusta
team seemed rather uervoua for
their inexperience. The Athens
boys were confident from the first,
knowing through our Augusta boys
the kiud of meu they had to deal
with, and relying on our own skill
and practice.
Mr. Ernest Brown, of the Uuiver
sity, was choseu as referee, and Mr.
John Barnes as umpire. To the
vast majority, tho decisions of both
gentlemen were entirely talisfaclo
ty* though by some of the disap
pointed Augusta enthusiasts a little
dissatisfaction was manifested.
On the loss up the ball went to
Aqguvla, Athens ohoosiug then tho
goal. The playing was begun by a
wedge which gained for the Augus
ta team 14 yards. At the next play
Smith made a fumble giving the
ball to Athens.
Our boys now bucked center for
a gain of six yards, followed by two
successful runs through left guard
and tackle for five and eight yards.
Atheus now lost the ball, but after
gaining it, Augusta lost ten yards
giving the ball again to the 'Varsi
ty boys who made a touchdown in
little tiint/. A goal was kicked by
Captain Butler making the score 6
to 0.
Augusta again started out with
the ball, but in a few moments lost
it. Tlieu began steady gains for
Athens principally through Shack
elford’s phenomenal playing, and
ending in a touchdown. The soore
was now 10 to 0.
Now Augusta formed a wedge
and gained eight yards. Losing
the bull after three plays, it went
to Atheus, aud was kicked by
Brown. Auguala then made a run
of twenty yards. Soou Athens bad
the ball again aud it was the work
of only a few minutes to make an* j
other touchdowu and kick^ go-.i >
making the score Hi to o.
After a little more unsuccessful
playing iu which Wrigley was burl,
lime was called ending first half.
TIIK SECOND HALF.
Atheus has tho ball, but grim de
termination is written on the faces
of the Augusta team, and only a
slight gain is made. After a gain
of five yards by th*» turtle back Hal
sey takes the ball and makes a good
run around right end being tackled
by Whitney Now by beautiful
runs around right and left ends*
steady gains are made by the ’Var
sity boys, and soon a touchdown is
secured, making the score 20 to 0 in
favor of Athens.
Augusta starts out with the ball
again but as usual, soou\ loses it.
In a scrimmage Smith has l»«> nose
hrokeu and face badly bruised. He
is plucky uyd in a few minutes
cniers the play apsin. After .a
good deal of playing and steady
gaius another touchdown was made
by the ’Varsity boys giving them a
score of 24 to 0. No goal was
kicked because in placing it the
ball touched the ground aud was
taken by an Augusta mao.
The Augusta boys now seemed to
play better than before but to no
avail. Iu a few minutes time was
called and thu score stood 24 to 0
iu favor of the Uuiversity.
To say the least of it, tho gstue
was a walk-over. The superior skill
of Athens showed from the first that
the game was hers. The Augusta
meu averaged at least eleven pounds
each more than the Athena boys, but
were clumsy aud know little of
football.
A large crowd witnessed the game
and weut wild wheu the result was
known.
