Very interesting reading this

Football 1890-
1928" by the
late Mr. Fuzzy
Woodruff.

passed
several
Woo-
who
away
years
ago, was a vet-
eran Atlanta
newspaperman who wrote of foot-
ball and other sports in a fine,
clear analytical style. Mr. Wood-
ruff covers the thirty-eight year
period thoroughly, giving line-ups
and scores of practically all
games and interesting accounts of
each in his three-volume work.
We trust readers will pardon us
if we devote most of a column to
comments and quotes from this
book.
First Intercollegiate Game
The first intercollegiate match
in which a Southern team was in-
volved, according to Mr. Wood-
ruff’s book, was played by the
University of Virginia against
Princeton at Princeton in the fall
of 1890. The score was humiliat-
ing, for the southerners were
downed by a score of 116 to 0.
Comment: Contrast this with
the modern records of southern
teams. The University of Alabama
has made several conquests in the
far west and east. L. S. U., Au-
burn, Ga. Tech, Georgia and other
"below the Mason and Dixon" ele-
vens almost annually drub eastern
teams.
Tar Heels and Cavaliers
From the book: But it is evident
that the disastrous defeat served
to stimulate the ambitions not on-
ly of Virginia but of other South-
ern colleges. We find that foot-
ball was immediately introduced
into the University of North Car-
olina and in 1891 the games be-
tween Virginia and North Caro-
lina began, which have continued
uninterrupted since save through
the catacism of war.
As far back as 1893 a card was
printed in the Atlanta Constitution,
which sets forth the plaint that
institutions such as Vanderbilt, Se-
wanee. Auburn, Georgia, Ala-
bama, and Georgia Tech, could
not hope to make any progress un-
til they are put on the schedules
of Virginia and North Carolina,
or both.
Comment: That provokes a
laugh now. The Virginians are on
ly a second-rate football power in
the south at the present time and
the Tarheels have only recently
come out of the doldrums.
Introduced Football
Dr. C. H. Herty of the Universi-
ty of Georgia at Athens and Dr.
George Petrie, professor of his-
tory at Auburn, are generally cre-
dited with the introduction of
football to the deep south. Accor-
ding to "A History of Southern
Football" Doctors Petrie and Her-
ty went out on the playing field
armed with rule books and taught
from the ground up.
After months of preparation,
the first Georgia-Auburn game, a
classic which still survives, was
played at Brisbine Park in Atlanta.
Auburn triumphed 10 to 0, where-
upon they promptly and boldly
challenged North Carolina. In
those early days football was by
no means confined to the fall
months. Auburn met the Tar
Heels and were soundly trounced
64 to 0.
A Firm Foothold
Continuing from the book:
Despite lack of public interest
in the game it had obtained a firm
foothold by the fall of 1892. How-
ever, there were no association
rules and no rules of player eli
gibility.
Comment: It’s a great tempta-
tion but we will refrain from com-
menting here.
Faculty members were frankly
permitted to play in the games
and each team always introduced
its coach or "trainer" in its line-
up.
Comment: What we wouldn’t do
to those Bremen boys if we just
had Coach Vic Hansard fin as
halfback on the Canton High
team.
The first gridiron meeting be-
tween the University of Georgia
and Ga. Tech was played in Ath-
ens November 4, 1893, and Tech
won, continues Mr. Woodruff’s
account.
On their return to Atlanta that
night the Tech team charged that
Georgia had played a professional
halfback and furthermore their
players were constantly assaulted
with rocks thrown by the Georgia
student body.
Comment: Gosh, you must have
had to be a man to play football
back then.,
We sat in Monday night and lis-
tened to Guy Butler, of the At-
lanta Journal’s sports staff, inter-
view Jack Dempsey, who was in
Atlanta to referee the Ben Brown-
Teddy Yarosz fight. The Manassa
Mauler gave his opinion of several
fights which will come off within
the next few months and warned
Butler to watch out for a coming
young fighter. Red Burman, who
now belongs to the Dempsey stable
of fighters.
Red Burman once was known
as K. O. Burns. His name was
changed to Red Burman to give it
a Hebrew touch because of the
2,000,000 Jews in New York, many
of whom are fight fans.
The star halfback of the football
team will have to take a back
seat. Newest hero of the 12-year-
olds is the band "tooter". There
were two dozen following the fire
truck Friday afternoon as the band
played colorful tunes in their ride
over town.

Early Purchase Of
Hunting Licenses
Urged in Georgia
ATLANTA, Sept 22—The State
Wild Life Division Wednesday
urged all fall outdoorsmen of Geor-
gia to buy licenses before the Oc-
tober 1 deadline on purchase from
agents.
After this date hunters and fish-
ermen will be required to file ap-
plications by mail or person with
the Revenue Department in Atlan-
ta. This charge was made this
week and Director Charles N. El-
liott estimates that it will save the
Division annually from $20,000 to
$25,000 now paid in agency fees.
Licenses in the hands of county
ordinaries and sporting goods
stores, serving as agents, will be
withdrawn September 30, Elliott
said.
The Wild Life Division will dis-
tribute 750,000 blanks over the
state in a movement designed to
expedite and facilitate the buying
of licenses. Shipments will be
made this week to ordinaries, sher-
iffs, hardware stores and banks.
Rangers have been instructed to
honor money order receipts for li-
censess.
Simultaneous with this announce-
ment Elliott reported that license
sales for the first two months of
the fiscal year—July and August
—had totaled over $13,000. This
is a new record for the Department
and comes principally from fishing
fees.
With the dove season opening
(September 15) in North Georgia
counties, it is estimated that Oc-
tober will bring in over $15,000,
with November doubling.this fig-

Sideline Slants On
Canton-Copperhill
Football Tussle
Sideline Slants on the Canton-
Copperhill football game: The field
seemed to be in much better shape
this year and the addition of le-
gible yard markers enables fans to
tell how much yardage was gained
(or lost) on a play . . . Football
scoreboard at end of field is also
a big help. It gives downs, yards
to go and other informative items.
But it would be a still bigger help
if somebody was stationed there to
put the info down . . . Canton ele-
ven looked very snappy in those
new green and gold uniforms ...
During the game, one player pul-
led off his helmet for a play and
the referee instantly ordered him
to replace it. This is a new rule
this season and will probably re-
duce injuries . . . Canton Band
tooted and were sweel with
their fine music and when their
uniforms arrive they’ll look as
well as they play . . . Although
all school children were admitted
Friday night, crowd was still lar-
ger than any last year. Prof. Ralph
Owen, who was at the gate, stated.
Greenie line looked better than ex-
pected but improvement can still
be made in the line’s offensive play.
Most Canton gains were on end
plays and reverses.
Canton High School football
team opened their 1939 grid season
Friday night with a 41 to 0 vic-
tory over Copperhill, (Tenn.) High
School. The whole story was Fain
through the line and Curtis, Gar-
ner and Goss skirting the ends.
Canton High scored six touch-
downs and added five of the extra
points. They were superb on de-
fense and on offense—well, figure
it out for yourself—they scored a
touchdown every time they came in
possession of the ball.
The Greenies scored early in the
first quarter, a few minutes after
the game began. Canton kicked off
to Copperhill and held the Tennes-
see lads to four downs. Canton took
the ball and ran a feeler play in-
to the Copperhill line which picked
up a little yardage. The next play,
a reverse, lost ground when Bot-
toms, Greenie end, evidently be-
came mixed up in signals and
crashed headlong into Brady Cur-
tis, the ball carrier. However, the
Cherokee eleven took a fresh start
and made a first down on the next
play.
The fourth play after the Green-
Dies had become into possession of
The ball resulted in the pigskin be-
ing deep in Copperhill territory,
and goal to go. Curtis carried it
over and the extra point was ad-
ded by a pass Garner to Curtis to
put Canton in the lead 7 to 0.
Canton Unstoppable
Fain again kicked off to the In-
dians. The mountain boys though
were apparently unable to gain a-
gainst Canton and were forced to
punt. Curtis caught the ball and
made a nice little gain down the
north side of the field before
caught and tackled. Here the Can-
ton gridironers started another
touchdown march that ended with
Curtis scoring his. second touch-
down behind the perfect blocking
of Frank Fain, who excelled in that
department of play all through the
game. The extra point was good
giving Canton a 14 to 0 lead.
The Greenies added two more
touchdowns in the second quarter.
After the Greenies had gone down
the field with a series of line bucks
and off tackle slants, Frank Fain
bucked the ball over with a seven
yard line plunge. Extra point was
good. Score: Canton 21, Copper-
hill-0.
Fain again booted the kickoff to
the Indians and as before the Cop-
perhill footballers failed to gain.
With Canton in possession of the
ball, Fred Jack Goss, star Greenie
quarterback made a great 45-yard
run through a broken field for the
fourth touchdown. Goss ran to the
right, pulling his opponent’s safe-
ty man over, then reversed his
field and skipped over the line for
the marker standing up and mak-
ing the score 28 to 0 in Canton’s
favor.
Trick Play Works
Copperhill kicked off to start the
third quarter and the Canton ele-
ven worked a play successfully
which had failed to function all last
season. Robert Bell caught the kick-
off boot and started toward the
east goal in a slow slant. Curtis
came behind Bell to receive the
ball and the entire Copperhill team
was sucked over to the opposite
side of the field after Bell. It was
a touchdown run from the kickoff
of approximately 80 yards. Here
Canton tried to pass for the extra
point but it was batted down and
was the first “point-after-touch-
down” Canton had failed to make
good.
The score now stood Canton-34,
Copperhill-O.
Canton kicked off and the Tenn-
essee eleven, by reason of good
blocking, here made their first good
gain. Copperhill gained again on
the next play and it looked as if
the Tennessee team might score on
the local eleven. But on the next
play, the Indians tried a pass and
it was intercepted by Aaron Hagin,|
Canton center. With Canton in pos-
session of the pigskin, it was car-. T 1 .41.1,
ried deep into enemy territory and ton Lackey, two tackles of exper-
- 1 - - S ience, are back to make the loss of
from there William Garner trotted
around left end for the touchdown.
The combination of Garner to
Curtis accounted for the extra
point, making the score 41 to 0,
which was the final score of
the
game.

Razzle-Dazzle Is
Expected to Again
Be Tech Weapon
ATLANTA, Sept. 22—A quan-
tity of backs, some of whom have
fair ability, but no one of whom
can be termed an expert at all-
round performance, and an antic-
ipated weakness in the center of
the line, threatens to tax the re
sourcefulness of the Georgia Tech
football coaches.
The backfield squad is mainly
lacking in driving power. They
have no A. No. 1 line plunger; but
even if they did it is doubtful if the|
middle of the line, filled largely
with green and inexperienced men,
could do the proper sort of work
as a vanguard. Five stars in the
exact center of the line were lost|
by graduation. They were Cap-
tain Jack Chivington, center, and
Junior Anderson, Jimmy Brooks,
Allan Wilcox and Mack Furlow, all
guards. Glenn Cushing, No.1
tackle, also is gone; and George I
Smith, standout end of last year’s j
team, has finished his scholastic!
and football careers.
The end situation is hardly as
acute as is that at the middle of
the line. Rob Ison, senior flank-
man, who was out with a broken
ankle after the Vanderbilt game
last year, is back in shape. George
Webb, a very promising sophomore
is available; Joe Bartlett, convert-
ed from the backfield, has caught
on nicely at end and Paul Spray-
berry, tall and earnest junior, is
doing well. Charlie Wood and Es-
Phantom Animal
Finally Caught
ATLANTA, Sept. 22—The
mystery of Georgia’s "phan-
tom varmint" has been ex-
plained.
A pick pack of 22 hounds,
followed by over 100 fox hunt-
ing enthusiasts grounded the
mysterious animal which had
a reputation of attacking and
beating hounds, proved last
week that it was only a giant
red.
Led by two of the State’s
champions Russell Riley (‘37),
and Beulah (‘38), these hounds
drove the big red into ground
under a saw dust pile near
Collier’s Station, Monroe coun-
ty. The animal was seen sev-
eral times during the chase,
which was staged after a chal-
enge between hunters from
Monroe and Lamar counties.
LEAGUE SERIES
GAME SAT. ENDS
IN 11 - 11 STYMIE
By HERBERT BUFFINGTON
Canton and Cartersville played
to a 11 to 11 tie in the second game
of the Kennesaw Mountain league
playoff series here Saturday. The
game was called at the end of the
ninth because of darkness.
The slugging duel was featured
by seven home runs. Tipton, Kelly,
Watkins and Ashe connected for
circuit clouts. Tone got two homers-
and E. Johnson one for Carters-
ville. -
Bacon, Cartersville starting pit-
cher, lasted until the fourth. Can-
ton had scored five runs in the se-
cond when Tipton and Kelly led
off with home runs. Ashe follow-
ed with a single and Hansard walk-
ed. They tallied on singles by Fitts
and McNally.
In the fourth after Fitts, Wil-
liams, and McNally singled with
two runs scoring. Price came to
Bacon’s rescue. Canton scored sin-
gle runs in the fifth and sixth and
got Price out in the seventh. Ashe
led off with a home run, and Han-
sard, Williams, and Fitts singled,
Hansard scoring. Old Bunk Mor-
ris, veteran southpaw, then came in
and retired the side with no further
scoring.
Vic Hansard, Canton pitcher,
pitched in hard luck all the way.
Wildness and three circuit clouts
accounted for most of the Carters-
ville runs. Except in the fifth when
three free passes, a hit batsman,
two singles, and a home run ac-
counted for six runs, Cartersville
could not hit very much.
Canton threatened in the eighth
when Ashe hit the center field
fence with a triple after two were
down. But Bunk Morris struck out
O. Morris, hitting for Hansard.
Thacker pitched the ninth for
Canton. Cartersville got a man on
first on and third with one out but
a fast double play Ashe to Parris
retired the side.

A lean tigerish Greenie eleven
and a tough confident Bremen
High grid team will come to grips
tonight at Harmon Field.
Conceded to be probably the
toughest foe on the Canton grid-
men’s schedule, Bremen will arrive
tonight to attempt to smash Coach
Victor Hansard’s eleven in a
crushing defeat.
But against them will be a team
that trampled Copperhill 41 to 0
and punted not once during that
game—a team that after the foot-
ball famine of last year is hungry
for revenge on their 1938 victors.
Bremen, reported to be stronger
this year than ever before, will
bring a crew of tough-skinned
huskies to Cherokee with them to-
night, most of them members of
the same juggernaut that tore the
heart out of Canton’s team last
year in the opener with a 20 to 0
triumph.
No injuries have been reported
from the Canton camp and the
Cherokee boys, confident after
their opening win, are expected to
match strength with strength and
cunning with cunning.
If the Canton High footballers
can hurdle Bremen tonight they are
well on their way to a good seas-
on with Dalton probably the only
foe of Bremen’s calibre ahead.
It will be a colorful spectacle as
the trim and snappy Greenies trot
out on the field tonight to face the
big black-uniformed eleven. A
touch of fall tang in the air this
week will bring out the sweaters
and wrappers in full force.
Director Buford Smith announc-
ed that the band uniforms may ar-
rive in time for the game but at
any rate the Canton high band
will be there with full quota. Their
zippy tunes and collegiate airs will
set the stage for a game which is
expected to draw the biggest crowd
of this or last season.
This game is a natural. The stra-
tegy and force of the up and com-
ing Canton eleven matched against
the experience and power of the
Bremen gridironers. Each team has
been keyed for a win but which
way the game will go nobody will
know until the last tackle has
been made and the last whistle
blows.
Coach Hansard has said that he
will be very very thankful for a
win and you may be sure that the
six touchdowns the Greenie war-
riors scored on Copperhill have gi-
ven the Bremen coach sleepless
nights.

the closing minutes of the fourth
quarter. Two plays failed to gain
and the Indians were forced to
kick. Canton came into possession
of the ball just as the game ended.
Coach Victor Hansard used 22
men in the game, substituting free-
ly. He was well pleased with the
blocking of Fain and Curtis and
the running of Goss, Curtis and
Garner.
The line showed improvement o-
ver last year. Standouts Friday
night in the line were Hagin at
center and McFarland and Quarles
at tackle posts. Ellison also show-
ed improvement over last year’s
performance.
The ends were well taken care
of by Payne and Bottoms who
started the game and were replac
ed by Frady and Bell, who played
the positions equally well.
. Coach Hansard can replace his
guards, tackles and ends this year
without seriously weakening his
team which means much to
strength when hard games
being played.
Cushing less acutely felt, and Al-
fred Muerth, a big sophomore and
Louis Perkinson, a comparatively
small, but very willing player,
may prove of some use.
At center it will be different.
Chivington took rank with the very
best centers in the country by his
all-round work in his last two
years and however ambitious his
most likely successor, Roane Beard
may prove to be, it will be impos-
sible for him to fully replace his
brilliant predecessor.
Neil Cavett, very dependable
junior, who played at quarterback
and tackle in 1938, and Charlie
Sanders, a sophomore, are the two
best bets for the starting guard
posts, while Robert Aderhold and
Elmer Dyke, both juniors without
varsity experience, are at present
the best the Tech coaches have in
the way of replacements. Obvious-
ly, the guard problem is a critical
one.
The backfield situation lends
some brightness to a picture oth-
erwise gloomy. All of last year’s
ball carriers, save June Page, are
returning and at least three soph-
omores give promise of being use-
ful. They are Johnny Bosch,
Ralph Plaster and Bobby Pair.
