Over four thousand people viewed
the contest in Macon yesterday be
tween the Alabama Polytechnic In
stitute (Auburn) and the University
of Georgia teams.
“Auburn, Auburn, Auburn-un!“
So shouted 2,000 enthusiastic stu
dents and supporters of the Auburn
football team afe they stood in ttnii*
seats and about the side lines at Cen-j
tral city Park.
“Oo-lt Auburn; Go-it Auburn; Go-
It Auburn!”
Pandemonium reigned. Coats, hats,
in fact everything tha: could be flung
skywards sailed in the air over the
heads of one of the most enthusiastic
crowds ever assemble 1 in Macon.
Two thousand faces were turned to the
score board. There was the answer.
“Auburn 17; Georgia 5”.
Red and Black Benches in Gloom.
Across the field, huddled together In
the stands and standing about the side
lines was another 2.000. They were
silent and the banners of red and
black were still, this because they
were defeated. No cheers gave token
of their thoughts. In the morning
they had been filled with the ever
growing spirit of success. Now they
were downcast. It was Georgia the
winner over Auburn last season in the
annual Thanksgiving day clash. And
now In the shadows of evening a year
later It was Georgia beaten. Defeat
bitter and it was with stings of
regret that they turned their faces to
nrds the score board and read:

Rah. Georgia. Georgia, Rah. Rah!
‘Ho Rah, Ho Rah, Georgia, Georgia,
Rah. Rnh!”
They shouted it defiantly, ns a chal-
njfe for the next battle. Soon It was
too dark to distinguish tho supporter
of the Red and Black from the Jubilant
earer of the Orange and Blue. Both
contingents passed out of the grounds
and another annual game between two
of the greatest rivals In the South was
history.
The. score does not tell half the
story. It falls to give anything like
picture df the flerue fight fought
against the warriors from Alabama by
the men clad In uniforms of -ed and '
black. Georgia was beaten fairly and
squarely. This is not denied In any
quarter. The game was rather slow
at times, particularly in the second
half when the strain of superior weight
began to tell against Georgia. The
men from Athens went into the game
not with the expectation of winning
but to fight, gamely and to a finish.
This was done and uone better than
hundreds of the most *oyal supporters
of the university expected. That
Georgia even scored against the Au
burn Tiger showed a wonderful Im
provement. Two substitutes were
forced into play in the dosing half
and the loss of the regular men was
keenly felt. Never .was greater honor
due a defeated Dixie eleven than that
which the men who battled for the Red
and Black will today nnd for many
days to come receive from supporters
half there might have been bonfires
burning In Athens last night Instead
of in Auburn, Ala.
There was not a mm on the Georgia
eleven who did not do more than his
best. No one deserves more credit
than Teddy Sullivan, left end, and
Brown at center. It was the former
whose ready foot and brilliant run
scored the five points lor Georgia, and
the latter who proved such a wall of
defense agninst the Auburn attacks.
To the victors, however, will Justly
come tne lion'R share of the praise
nnd honor of yesterday's struggle.
Displaying strength a little below the
standard of thnt wb.ch effectively
crushed other opponents this season,
the players were able, partly due to
superior weight and be. ter team work,
to carry the day. Georgia played good
ball. Auburn better ball.
