THE MAOON DAILY TELEGRAPH: ’ SUNDAY. MORNING, ffOYEMBER 1,' 1908
GEORGIA WON FOOTBALL GAME;
TWO ELEVENS AND SPECTATORS
MIXED IN FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT
FIERCER LOST ON THE GRIDIRON
—FIVE THOU8AND PEOPLE
SAW 6CRAPPY GAME—EXCIT
ING FROM 8TART TO FINISH.
The beauty and chivalry of' the
etate, to aay nothing of nearly threo
thousand enthusiastic, dyed-ln-the-
wool, nolae-maklng fans, saw yester
day’s annual football game between
the eleven* of the University of Geor
gia and Mercer University.
They saw one of the moat Interest
ing, the hardest fought gridiron
scraps ever played at Central City
park. They saw the red and black of
Georgia achieve a great victory, and
they saw the orange and black of Mer
cer trail in th# dust of defeat
They also witnessed, a game char
acterized by the manifestation of
much spirit and feeling by both ag
gregations, and one marked by gen
uine fights In which not only the play
ers themselves but coaches and parti
san spectators participated. The fin
ish of the struggle brought about one
of the moat disgraceful occurrences
In the history of athletics In Macon.
It was a free-for-all fight with Mer
cer and Georgia players and several
hundred excited spectators mixed In
the melee. The female element fled
Incontinently at the beginning of the
rowdyism, but the males, particularly
the younger ones, lingered-, about and
sought a renewal ot the "boftijjtles.”
The fight was due to bad feeling en
gendered during the game. It la said
that Capt. DeLappIerfO, of Georgia,
cursed Poole, of Mercer, during t':e
second half, and as soon as the game
was over the . two sought each other
out. Immediately Fullback Farmer, of
Mercer, and Right-half Newsome, of
Georgia, sprang at each other. A
terowd almost Instantly gathered, hun
dreds climbing over the wire fencing,
and In another moment a general fight
was in progress, students of the two
.colleges taking It up .and scrapping
I with one another regardless of cause.
The fight that occurred soon after
I the start of the game was one in
which Assistant Coach Toni Kirby, of
Georgia, forinerfy a. star player for the
Georgetown team, received a good
pummelling. In the fight were Mose
ley and Worrlll. two Mercer students.
Coach Kirby and several of the play
ers of the Georgia team. There were
no arrests.
Tne Game.
First Half—Mercer 0, Georgia 0.
i Second Half—Mercer* 0, Georgia 11.
! This tells the story of the Georgia-
Jfercer football battle, of yesterday. It
<oes not begin to tell, however, of the
Tonderful playing of "Kid" 'Woodruff,
tfeorrla’s stnr ouartcr, of the stubborn
Afr nse of the Merfer tenm, of how tlie
mal result was very simply brought
a|>out.
,The defeat of Mercer followed, if It
nts not actually caused by, a fumble
o| a punt, Quarter Mallarv being the
mlofactor. After holding the Oenr-
tk team down for the first half, with
tie odds wholly against them. Mer-
/e«r lost out in the second. When the
r touchdown was recorded there was
g>e«t cheering from the Georgia con
tinent and moans from the Mercer
representation.
When the game began at 3 o'clock
nmrly £ye* thousand people were In
cite the park. The grandstand, the
bliachers, the stands along tho slde-
11ms and scores of carriages and au-
tonoblles were filled, while hundreds
we>a standing. There wag enthusiasm
on every side and frequent cheering
for the two teams.
Hie first half, as well as the second,
wax a punting duel up and down field
bokeeen the two teams. At the out-
got Georgia carried the ball danger-
©uiy near to Mercer’s goal, only to
bate It kicked back by thq orange and
blade. Then, by a series of end runs.
Georgia carried the pigskin within
fivq yards of-the coveted line, only to
Ios4It
hly twice duringjthe entire game
kick from the field, and three times
did Derrick mlsa the goal. Once be
kicked from the forty-yard line, and
twice when within fifteen yards of the
posts.
Mercer appeared to beat advantage
In ,-th# first half although the team
was on tho defensive and had little
opportunity to show much. Whenever
the Mercerlans got possession of the
ball, a punt generally followed. Geor
gia receiving the ball and bringing It
right back to Mercer's territory. This
was the procedure during the whole
of the first half.
One play, which caused quite
squabble, was Georgia's execution of
the forward pass for an apparent
touchdown. T h e' score was not al
lowed because the ball was thrown
across the line, Woodruff to Hatcher.
This play occurred at’ the middle of
the first half with Georgia ton yards
from goal. It was held that Hatcher
caught the ball after cross'ng the line
and the play was not allowed.
The feature of this half—and the
feature of the game—was the. flashy
work of Quarter-back Woodruff, of
Georgia. He played tho game almost
by himself, receiving all of Mercer’s
punts and carrying the ball for the
majority of Georgia’s gains. He seem
ed to have no trouble in getting by
the ends or In escaping tackles. There
la .fio question that .but for Woodruff
Gcotgla would not have
« TJio Second Half.
At the.*nd‘.of the first half It was
obv’ous th&t Georgia would not score
without the‘aid of a fumble. The
visiting aggregation found It well-nigh
useTess to .Vuckr Mercer's line, and had
considerable trouble In making runs
of any length. This was responsible
for the team's continual punting, while,
as. has been explained, Mercer had to
resort to punting in order to get tho
ball out of her territory.
After ten minutes of play In the
secor\d half, Georgia scored the first
touchdown. Neither team had scored
when Bin Ion mode one of the most
brilliant plays of the entire game,
passing by Georgia’s right end for a
run of thirty-five yards. Finding
center rushes unavailing. Mercer
.puntfcd again, and upon recovering the
ball, put the forward pass Into exe
cution. Blnlon to Cochran, for a slight
galp. Georgia received the ball on a
punt, and followed with another kick
that sent the ball to Mercer's fifteen-
yard line, where It was received by
Mallary. who fuipbled. This play
brought about the defeat of the Mer
cer eleven. When Mallary fumbled a
Georgia player got the ball, and then
by .a series of rushes the ball was car
ried over the line. When only five
yards to go, It took the three downs
for'Georgia to put the ball across, so
stubborn was Mercer’s defense.
This play took the heart out of the
Mercer team to a dertaln extent and
for a few minutes Georgia had Its
own way.. Tire local lads soon rallied
and held their opponents down until
the very., ©lose, when another fumble
Indirectly resulted In a touchdown.
When Georgia punted to Mercer’s
twelve-yard line, ‘Mallary again fum
bled, and lost the ball. Tho first
throe rushes carried the ball the nec
essary ten yards, and the next two
put it across. Goal was kicked by
Hodgson, who failed in the first half
For Georala Woodruff was tho prin
cipal star, but Hodgson, Griffith. Pea
cock and Lucas did specially well.
Blnlon carried off the honors for
Mercer, but the local team's play was
featured by tho Interference of Mal
lary and the tackling of Poole.
The line-ups were as follows:

The writer Is Informed that this Is the
third time that the annual Georgla-Mer-
cer football game has broken up with a
row. Mercer got much the best of It
yesterday, but that does not In the least
palliate the offense given a sport-loving
assemblage. Next year, when the two
teams meet, effort should be made to
prevent or suppress such rowdyism or
severely punish the ones that participate
in a fight College athletics should be

any other two colleges In the state, and
there te bound to be evldenco of it when
their athletlo representations meet
Georgia hou not forgotten tho smarting
sting of the two defeats handed their
champion baseball nine last spring—on&
then again, they had to light harder for
victory yesterday than they are accus-
touicd to delng. especially with the Mer
cer eleven. ,
. It must be given to Frank Bleke—he’s
put a great team out .at Mercer, one that
wtll. under hie coaching, make a distinct
maik next year. Mercer has never had
a team that classed with any of the big
southern elevens until now, and not only
the students and faculty of the univer
sity but the town generally should give
encouragement to those who are boosting
Macon’s sporting laurels.
Evidence of the development and
strength of Mercer's team le given In the
scores of the annual games with Georgia
for the last three years. In .1906, , tlio
university triumphed by the score of €0
to 0; last year it was 13 to 6; yesterday
It wns 11 to 0. Next year there will-be
a still greater difference.
Georgia played an offenilve game from
the very start. The visitors not only
punted regularly and consistently, but by
keeping the ball In Mercer’s territory
forced Blake's team to also punt The
Mercerlans hardly knew what It was to
advsneo the ball except by punting; but,
at that many believed that better re
sults would have been secured had the
two halves been given more work
Whenever Blnlon got the ball he Inva'
rlably carried It for a gain, but, as i.
B tneral thing, he was made to kick. The
ercer team, therefore, seldom got the
ball but what they gave it right back to
their opponents, only farther away from
