His tricky plays were pheuominal and resulted in tho opposing center be ing changed. 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.

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 gaming IK) yards. Thu grand stand 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.

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. onsor
