TH» BAWMEE-BEBALD. ATHENS, GEORGIA TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 13, 1923.* SPORTNEWS Dixie Boy Is Yale Star On the first three plays, Hops lost 10 ytttd*. On the fourth down, Detroit broke through and blocked the punt, which, howftfer, wka re gained by the visitors .This gave them a I'rst down. Practically the same thing waa repeated twice .mire, two additional kicks being hiockcd with Hope recovering c;»ch time for first down. The fourth at to punt Was successful but by this time the Hope backs had i thrown on 12 occasions for losses totaling 40 yards. Thus had Hope not. gained inch, had made three |'r«t downs without a single penalty but had lost 40 yards In so doing. It’s one for the album. Georgia Bulldogs By Associated Press RICIIESON Louisiana has contributed one oh the brightest rpot s to the Yale football arrangement this year in the person of young Mr. Richcaon, a 'Quarterback of rare talent. Richcsons is one of the finds of the y4C anti has performd with marked skill whenever called upon by Couth Jones. 1 s FREAK FOOTBALL FEAT IS | WITHOUT PARALLEL ,-y. i fl^TROIT.—What Is believed I Immediately after the kickoff, ■^Taa an unprecedented Incident Hope recovered' the hall on a fum- in football annals cropped out in a reeffpt game hero between the De troit, city and Hope (Mich.) college hi the first period of the fracas. thaVHopo aggregation had the ball for M6 consecutive downs v«!thout ginning an inch, and without either of -fho elevens receiving a single penalty.- Me on the Detroit 25-yaid stripe. The visitors then had the leather for 16 straight downs, makfng three first-downs, and-yet on the sixteenth attempt, when the Hope punter /fell back to kick, ho stood on his own 2o-yard line, 40 yards back of the place where the 'ball had originally been recovered. Here’s how It happened: MARK ANTHONY* Thurston LaFayette Anthony, known far and wide as ‘‘Mark’’ Anthony, put the village of High Shoals on the football map. Mark is so good natured that they tell an amusing story about him and football at Georgia. He came to Georgia fresh from the trenches where he had fought with the 82nd-Division and where ho made an enviable athletic rec- • ord. He had been out in uniform j about ten days and the grounds j keeper was putting up the goal posts os the squad trotted on the ' field, it being a few days before J the first game of the season# and one of Mark’s friends now de clares that he eased ov£r towards the coach and. inquired, "Coach, what are those things they are putting up down there?” But Mark soon learned the rudi ments of football and is playing his fourth and last year at Geor gia. He is a giant, weighing 210 pounds of bone and muscle. He is the son of Mrs. J. W. An thony, of High Shoals, and while a student at thc~ Christian College, at Auburn, Georgia, back in 1917, volunteered his services in the war, was assigned to the 82nd Division and fought with the 32f»th Artillery. After the Armis tice, when the A. E. F. turned the athletics, he won Pentathalon event of the division and came back to America with the diatinctoin of being one of the fastest men In the A. E. F. Last year he did not play in many games due to injuries, but he is filling a regular berth at tackle this year whero he is a terror to all opponents. He is a sheep- senior and is taking journalism, but says that lie* may go in for coaching after he gest his skin in June. He lives in the quarters of'Hhe “G” cldb, of which he is a mem ber. He also is president of the Square and Compass'* club, the Masonic organization of the cam pus. member of the Gridiron club and other honorary organisation- "ROOSE” DAY Theodore Roosevelt Day, better known as "Rooie,” is pi brother of the fdfbous "Bum” Day. All-Am erican center and star player of both Georgai Tech and Georgia. And like his big brother he also days center. He has another rother, "Milt,” who is. a back- field man, but injuries have laid him off the team. All three of the Day brothers were pt Georgia two years together and were spoken of as the "Week-end” brothers. Day hails from Douglas, and prepped at the Eleventh District A. & M. School, coming to Georgi: with hia brother, where "Bum 1 was already, ‘‘Pus’’ Welchel, can- tain of the team last year, and Pus” Newton, all from the same place and tipping the scales 1,200 pounds together. He is tho son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Day and when he finishes his studies is planning to go back to South Georgia and become an expert agriculturalist. He is taking B. S. Agriculture and is an expert at judging vile stock and other branches of the course he has elected. This is Day’s second year on the team and he says his ambition is to be such a good player that he will cease to be known aa "Bum’s brother” but as "Roose,” center on the Georgia varsity team. “Roose” weighs 186 pounds, is 22 years old and lives in the dor mitory and every student in col lege knows him. He is very sel dom seen out in town on the streets, keeping close to his studies at night, the football field in the afternoons and on the Ag hill du ring the day. P. T. A.

TJie tedte was 13 to 0. The game was played* at the West End park and was witnessed by quite a cro.vd of spectators.

The date of this game will be announed later. A* good colored game will be scheduled’ for Athens on,Thanksgiving Day and a large crowd is expected to turn out that day, as well as when Knox and Geruel meet. Former Athenian Objects to Play, “Robert E..Lee” The following la an cxccrpt from an intereating criticism of the play, "Robert E. Lee," written by John Drinkwater, waa written by Mrs. Roacoe Hall Chealey, of Boaton, Maas., formerly Hits Mary Carltbera of Athena and ap- paared in Tbe Boaton Pont. Mrs. Chealey Is president of the Boa ton Chapter of the U. D. C_ "’It la to be regretted that an that a farmer who sells a hog at 10 cents per pound on toot buys back boiled bam at 8.0 cents per pound. The Cochran editor teke how much freight wae ptld on the ham from Cochran to Moultrie, tram Moultrie to- Chicago, from Chicago to Macon and from Maocn back to Cochran. Although this journey le out of tho ordinary. Mr. Winbum thowe that tbe entire freight amou : only 2 1-8 cents per pounde, and of the difference of 76 com. rer pound between tho price received by tbe producer and that paid tlic couiumer, freight rstee were responsible therefore, for a llllle more then 3 per cent. Something else ft responsible for tbe otter 87 per cent. Mr. Winbum declares that freight rate* are not govern ing fnctors In bringing about the spread In price between producer and consumer, and that transpor tation rates are not handicapping agriculture, but transportation service Is the salvation of agri culture. The railway executlvt agrees with the Georgia Editor who concludes that the trouble lies In an unbustneea-Uke ayitem of farming whch forces product, on the market In a disorderly man ner. adversely affecting tpa farmer on one end and the consumer on the other. • Scout Prizes On Exhibition Here The Boy Scout field day prizes will be on display In Brnd-O's window until Thursday, at which time they will be sent to the win ners.

' ■# University CIGARETTES BILLY EVANS ity of West Virginia, unbeaten on the gridiron In 1828, has every prospect of going CluVusIh nnothtV season clean record. The one big game of the year on the West Virginia schedule re mains tb be pleyed with Washing ton and Jefferson on Thanksgiving Day. The dope strongly favors West Wrgtnla to win. West Virginia and Washington ami’ Jefferson are bitter rivals. It either team lott every game on lh«L schedule, only to emerge the victor In the Turkey Day nattie. alb would be forgotten. The rivalry bptwee Princeton, Harvard' and Vile baa nothing on tbe West Virginia and W. A J. situation. DOPE FAVOR8 WEST VIRGINIA In only one game so far ttaj, season has West Virginia met a worthy foe. In the game with Penn State tbe beat West Virginia canid get was a 12 to 12 tie, a couple of costly rumbles playing havoc with their hopes of victory. Since Penn State beat the Navy 21 to 2, It la an easy matter to get a Yne of the caUber or Weet Vir ginia this year. The dope doesn't always ran true to form on the gridiron, but the fdUowlag figures make West Vir ginia a’strong favorite over Wash ington and Jefferson and point to nother undefeated year. Lafeyatte held W. A J. to a S to S Ve. gera played Lafayette to a draw decision, 8 to S. Weet Virginia, on the other hand, overwhelmed Rut gers, 27 to 7. 'Much of the success of West Virginia, coached by "Pat’ Spears, forn)er Dartmouth star, centers In his veteran backfleid. In Gus Ek- herg, Nick Nardaccl and Jack' 811 mon, Spears hat three atari backs, well drilled In bis style of play. At end Prod Graham haa also play ed a leading role In practically every game. CRACK BACKFIELO Ably supported by a eirutig liue, West Virginia', crack backBeld has played havoc with tbe oppo sition. Spears has a varied style of attack, a backfleid that can hit tbe line, throw puses and skirt tbe and. Running many of hfs plays from a pass formation, ho la en abled to keep the opposition In tho air. Lut year West Virginia was one of tho eastern colleges qelect- ed to seed a team west West Vir ginia played Gonaua, coached by Charles Dorn's, former Notre Dem. •tar. and upheld the prestige of the eut by winning 21 to 13, In a very sensational game. The Weet Virginia team of 1SJ3 looks like a stronger segregation than that of lut year and If It disposes of Washington and Jef ferson. as tho dope says ft should, Spun’ teem most be accorded high rating af the class of. tho If the Phi Beta Kappa Key —were only given for excelling in the mat ter of good appearance, it would be easy to “make the grade;’’ simply make an invest ment in Knppenheimer GOOD CLOTHES They provide a good appearance for every man.
