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: Georgia. .

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 frse .tl-om Bowery, methods. ' There Is. perhnps, more feeling and ... airy betwoen Georgia and Mercer than ■■ i jwm . ~_ did Mercer got the nail beyond their cwr fifty.yard line. and did not. there fore ever seriously threaten Georgia wit scoring. With the visitors, bow- •vei It was Just the opposite. They ttesjy always had the ball, with It lo- at4 in Mercer's territory.

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 L MONSTROSITY gooserelVs BadEo-headed Yota Getter.

The latter was b|dlyf^^|jiA||M m championship, beaten by Mlchfg theless the Corn; „ — __ _ gan yeeterday. but nevertheless the Commodores are believed to have a team that will out class anything in the south. It’s really too bad that Tech failed io kick a goal and tie It up with Tennessee. The Georgia boys would have then been In the running for the southern honors, since Georgia Is down and out. Any- wav. the result pUunly Indicates that Helsmsn has a footbnll machine of some strength and ability, and one that would very likely defeat Georgia, if a game be tween the two could be arranged.

The number of men who hava gone down and. apparently, out in tho busi ness world, but who are today designated *s successful captains of Industry. Is large enough to be an Inspiration. There Is a popular notion that a man who falls must be a second-class business man. Nothing Is further from the truth. Tha fact is that failure In modem business Rr?nS er# * ftc,den1, mya Philadelphia There was Ream.

Then he went to Chicago, familiar .with .fsrra animals.. ha. _ employment at the stockvnrds. Later he turned his attention to wheat .and made a good deal of money. When one of tne great blsenlt companies was floated thee* was dl/ficulty. In .raising the Ja«» two mil lions of the nine required. After others had failed. Ream took the scheme In hand and went to New York. His assur ance won out and capitalists subscribed the needed millions. .

When his nama Is mentioned In Wall street prop]* listen with tho ’it- moot respect. Thero Is a general Im pression that If Ream Is la a scheme U Is all right. 8o that the conditions which, had floored him at the early part of hla -nreer really did not count.
