result of the conference.
SOME VERY IIOT FIGHTING ON
WEDNESDAY,
Secret Conference Held Yesterday
Between Representatives of the
Two Parties Aboard the United
States Gunboat Marietta—Officers
of the Foreign Warships Were
Present and Doubtless Influenced
the Decision of the Liberals to
Abandon Colon.
r'olon, Colombia, Nov. 28.—Gen. Al
ban and Gen. Jeffries arrived here to
day and were received at the railroad
station by the guards of the United
States gunboat Machias and the Brit
ish second-class cruiser Tribune.
A conference was held between
Lieral and Conservative representa
tives and the officers commanding the
foreign warships on board the Mari
etta.
The commanding officers of the Ma
rietta, of the British cruiser Tribune,
and of the French cruiser Suchet and
i.ieut. Commander McCrea of the
Machias and Capt. Perry of the lowa
were present, as were Gens. Alban and
Jeffries, representing the government
of Colombia, and Senor La Rosa, sec
letary of Gen. Domingo Diaz, who rep
resented the Liberal party of Colom
bia.
No information of the result of this
conference has been made public and
none of the details of the understand
ing arrived at has leaked out. It can be
said upon the best authority, however,
that the Liberals will surrender Colon
to-morrow to the government authori
ties.
United States marines guard Colon
10-night. Many unreliable statements
concerning the terms of surrender are
current on shore, but the only men in
formed in this regard refuse to answer
questions.
Colon is quiet, but much anxiety
prevails,
LIBERALS HELD THEIR GROUND.
I,m eminent Troops Suffered Severe
ly in Attack on Buena VUta.
Colon. Colombia, Nov. 27.—The gov
. . fnrcaa— >oo mxxoam. under Gen.
Alban, on reappearing at Buena Vista
Wednesday afternoon, opened fire on
the Liberal forces under Col. Barrera,
The latter were not entrenched, but
having the choice of ground, occupied
the top of a small hill at Buena Vista.
The fighting, which was of the most
savage nature, lasted until 5:30 p. m.,
without stopping, when the government
forces, owing to the great loss they
had sustained, were compelled to give
way and retreat toward Frijolos. Over
100 men were killed or wounded, the
bodies lying all along the railroad.
A train reaching Buena Vista was
unable to pass, owing to a pile of
corpses blocking Its passage. About
twenty wounded men were taken to
Panama on the evening train.
The Liberal loss was again insignifi
cant. It is said to be less than a dozen
men.
The Liberals at Colon are once more
jubilant, owing to the fact that Gen.
Alban's forward march has been stop
ped, coupled with reasonable hopes
that Gen. Domingo Diaz, with the re
inforcements of Liberals from Chorrera
will soon arrive on the scene of action
end attack Gen. Alban in the rear.
This has changed the aspect of affairs
st Panama. Reinforcements of gov
ernment troops in small batches have
been joining Gen. Alban continually.
The leading merchants of Colon call
ed on United States and British con
suls Tuesday to ascertain what steps
were to be taken to protect the town
from possible violence Rhould the state
cf affairs become more serious. They
were assured that marines from the
warships would, in case of necessity,
be landed to protect life and property,

NEW YORK HAS COSTLY FIRE.
Severn! Large Concerns Burned Out.
Oil Coating on Water la the Street
Spreads the Flames.
New York, Nov. 28.—Half a million
dollars is the estimate of the loss by
a lire this evening in the vicinity of
Tenth street and the East river. Sev
eral firemen were hurt, but none se
riously.
The blaze started in the plant of W.
E. Uptegrove & Bros., manufacturers
of boxes, veneers and fine woodwork,
and this firm was the principal suf
ferer. One of its buildings w'as a sev
en-story structure, while those sur
rounding it were one-story buildings.
All of Uptegrove & Bros.’ mill was
destroyed. Prom the Standard Oil
Company's depot on Eleventh street,
thousands of gallons of oii were drain
ed into the river to prevent an explo
sion and resulting conflagration.
After the fire was thought to be un
der control it broke out again and
spread to the works of the Mutual
Gas Company. This outbreak was
caused by a fireman dropping a burn
ing window sash into the street. The
street was flooded with water on which
was a thick coating of oil. This ignited
and the flame leaped into the gas com
pany’s property.
The fire then turned back across the
street and the immense store of lum
ber owned by Hegqmeyer & Sons was
ignited. It comprised some 18,000,000
feet of valuable woods. The lumber
yards of J. M. Saulpaugh were also
reached by the flames and great dam
age done. Fire Chief Croker estimated
at a late hour to-night that the total
damage would approach a million dol
lars. He estimated that the loss to J.
M. Saulpaugh will be $125,000; William
E. Uptegrove & Brother, $350,000; the
Mutual Gas Company, $100,000; G. M.
Hegemeyer, $150,000, and the Standard
Oil Company, $75,000.
blaumoyt has close call.
The Oil Snaked Fields Nearly Bring
It to Destrnction.
Beaumont, Tex., Nov. 28. —The most
dangerous fire since the discovery of
the oil fields here occurred late yester
day, and for a time it was thought the
field w-as doomed to destruction. Plumb
ers working on pipes built a small fire
several hundred feet northeast of the
Exporters' Land and Pipe Company's
mill on the northeast side of the field,
for the purpose of making connections.
The fire spread in the oil-soaked grass,
and soon got beyond control, threaten
ing the great forest of derricks of the
Hogg-Swayne syndicate. Every fire on
the field was extinguished in the boil
ers and every rig was shut down and
the population of the field turned out
to the fight the flames. Fortunately,
and almost miraculously, the men suc
ceeded in staying the flames within
twenty feet of the nearest derrick, and
finally extinguished them.
LORD SALISBURY’S REMARK.
Not Intended to Deprive Boers Alto
gether of Representative Govern
ment. Says Home Secretary.
London, Nov. 29.—1n the course of
an important speech at Croydon last
night, the Rt. Hon. C. T. Ritchie, sec
retary of state for home affairs, de
clared that Premier Salisbury’s state
ment that "no shred of independence
should be left to the republics,” had
been twisted and contorted in a way
Lord Salisbury never intended.
“It was not intended,” he said, “that
the Boers should not have a represen
tative in the government or that we
insisted upon unconditional surrender
except in the case that we would not
again offer the terms which had been
rejected.”
“We desired a termination of hostili
ties,” concluded Mr. Ritchie, “so that
Boer and Briton could live together
in peace and amity and the same ex
traordinary success which has attend
ed the British administration of Egypt
would be repeated in South Africa if
the Boers would only frankly acknowl
edge their defeat and ask for terms.”
YOUNG'S SHORTAGE UNKNOWN.
Friends of Louisville Treasurer
Would Have Helped Him Out.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 28.—Beyond the
statement made last night to Mayor
Granger by one of the expert account
ants that discrepancies amounting to
$23,000 had been found in the books of
the former city treasurer, Stuart R.
Young, who committed suicide las{
evening, nothing definite is known as
to how the accounts stand between the
city and its former treasurer. When
asked for an authoritative statement
to-night one of the accountants said
that beyond the amount mentioned last
night he had absolutely no idea as to
what the alleged shortage is. He ad
ded that the accountants would require
two w-eeks to go over the books of the
treasurer's office. During his four
years term as city treasurer, Mr. Young
handled $11,000,000.
I i became known to-day that sev
eral of Young's friends, having heard
reports about the condition of the for
mer city treasurer's accounts before,
newspaper publication was made of
them, had arranged a tentative plan
to secure any aid for him that might
be needed. Their plan was frustrated
merely by the fact that yesterday aft-/
ernoon they were unable to And Young

for his revolver at the Louisville Ho
tel, where he lived.

EIGHTY LIVES LOST
TERRIBLE DEATH TOTAL OF THE
WAB.VSII WRECK.
ONLY FOURTEEN KNOWN DEAD
MANY FRAGMENTS CRUMBLED TO
rOWDER WHEN REMOVED.
Snpt. Burns Considers the Estimate
Too High—Soys Death List Will
Not Exceed Twenty, bnt AII the
Evidence Is to the Contrary—Ex
act Number of Italians Aboard the
Immigrant Train Unknown—Cor
oner Will Begin Inquiry Into the
Disaster To-day.
Detroit, Nov. 28. —When night fell
over the scene of yesterday’s awful
calamity on the Wabash Railroad, near
Seneca, Mich., those who had been in
vestigating the disaster had found
nothing to alter the estimate of about
eighty lives lost as a result of the col
lision. Supt. George M. Burns of the
division on which the wreck occurred
insists that the estimates are toe
high.
“I do not consider,” said he, “that
the total death list will exceed twen
ty.’*
However, In support of the larger
estimate, it is pointed out that there
are now fourteen passengers known to
be dead. The bodies of eight of these
have been recovered and it is consid
ered that the fragments of other bodies
now in the morgue at Adrian will ac
count for many more than the twelve
dead necessary to make up Supt.
Burns’ estimate of twenty. In addi
tion to the comparatively few frag
ments recovered and sent to the
morgue, those who were early on the
scene say that many more pieces were
discovered which crumbled to powder
while they w r ere being removed.
Superintendent Burns said to the As
sociated Press to-night that he was un
able to tell the exact number of Ital
ian immigrants aboard train No. 13,
but thought there were not more than
fifty. Passengers on the train and a
number of those who were early on the
scene, dispute this and say the num
ber was nearer eighty.
Superintendent Bums has received
no report as yet from Ticket Collector
Eames of train No. 13. who probably
knows nearer than anyone else the
number of Italians on, the train.
Coroner Hamilton of Adrian this aft
ernoon empanelled a jury and will be
gin an inquest into the disaster to-mor
row morning.
All the jurors are prominent in the
business affairs of the little city of
Adrian. No steps have been taken as
yet toward the arrest of Engineer
Strong, who, Superintendent Burns
says, is responsible for the disaster.
A Scene of Desolation.
The scene of the holocaust presented
a bleak and desolate appearance this
morning. Strewn along both sides of
the track for 500 feet were car wheels,
brake beams and such other parts of
the wrecked coaches as would not burn.
Engines 88 and 609 were lying In the
ditch on the right hand of the road,
veritable scrap heaps. Broken cars,
some of them daubed with the blood of
their last occupants, were scattered
about and being used as cushions by
those huddled around the open fires
about the scene. Farmers living in
the vicinity came to the scene, in many
cases bringing their wives and families
with them. After viewing the debris
scattered along the track they would
walk through the fields to the house
w'here Giovanni Folonora, one of the
immigrants who escaped from one of
the burning cars, was tossing on a bed
and muttering in his native tongue.
When the first relief train arrived on
the scene last night from Adrian, six
of the cars in train No. 13 were burn
ing so fiercely that the relief party
could not get within several hundred
feet of them. They were the bag
gage car. the immigrant cars, two
coaches and a chair car.
There was nothing to do but stand
back and wait until the fire burned
itself out. It was past midnight be
fore a search of the ruins of the burn
ed cars could be begun. As soon as
the heat had subsided sufficiently
scores of men began delving in the
mass. As It was slowly turned over,
small crisp pieces of those who had
perished in the flames were occasional
ly found. The largest portion of any
body found was a terribly distorted
trunk. The heat had been so intense
that the cars and their human freight
had been reduced to a blackened pow
der that was blown about for hundreds
of feet by the wind.
Engineer Saw No. 13.
Although Engineer Strong of the
east bound limited saw the light of
the approaching train while yet some
five miles away and down a straight
track, he did not check his speed, be
cause, as he said, he supposed num
ber 13 was waiting on a siding at Sand
Creek. After reaching Detroit to-day
Strong said:
"I read my orders that I was to stop
at Sand Creek, and evidently the other
crew read theirs to stop at Seneca. I
know that there were four of us that
read my orders the same, the fireman,
conductor, brakeman and myself. I
lost my orders In the confusion of the
wreck, but the records will show what
they were and what the other crew’s
orders were.
"When I first saw the headlight of
the other train It was far enough away
so, I presume. X could have stopped,
but you know how it Is with these elec
tric headlights-you cannot tell any
thing about how fur away they are. It
was on a stralgiila way track, and
I thought they were waiting for me at
Sand Creek. They doubtless thought
we were stopped at Seneca, and so both
of us came on at full speed.
“We must have been running fifty
miles an hour When we saw that they
were on lop of us i saw I must jump

ed him to pass train 13 at Seneca. He
evidently forgot, them, for he did not
stop there, and the collision resulted.''
Engineer Parks of the rear engine of
train No. 13 had his left leg broken and
face cut. He describes the collision as
follows:
"We had orders to meet train No. 4
at Seneca, and were running about,
thirty males an hour. The track is
straight for several miles and I could
see the headlight of No. 4 coming when
we were about three miles west of Sand
Creek. I put on the airbrakes, and the
shock came before l had time to Jump.
“The three engines all piled up to
gether. I was thrown through the roof
or window of the cab. The engine on
train No. 4 fell to the south and our two
piled up together. I picked myself up
on the bank and then another man
crawled up to me. It was Engineer
Work. Both our firemen must have
been killed."
BODIES CRUMBLED TO DUST.
Newspaper Men Account for Small
Number of Known Dead.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 26.—The official
list of the dead given to local papers,
shows the names of but ten dead and
forty-eight Injured, but Detroit news
paper men, who were at the scene of
the wreck and talked with survivors
of both trains, said that the official
list does not be '.r out the statement
of the passengers, nor evidence of the
horrible loss of life which they wit
nessed at the spot where the accident
occurred.
The Free Press to-morrow will say
that the loss of life was in round num
bers 100, and that the statements made
by Italian immigrants in train No. 13,
bear out this claim. These immigrants
say that there were about 125 of their
nationality on the train, and that only
about 25 of them escaped. While there
are only ten of them known to be dead,
it is asserted that the other ninety
were completely incinerated, and that
with the removal of the wreckage the
bodies crumbled to dust, which was
scattered by the wind which swept
over the country. If the names of
these dead are ever known it will be
when friends make inquiry for them,
and in many instances this seems high
ly improbable.
Well Known Contractor a Victim.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 28.—George
W. Youmans, one of the victims of the
Wabash Railroad disaster, was a well
known building and paving contractor,
and a member of the board of public
works of Kansas City. He erected
many of the large buildings in Kan
sas City and has held heavy contracts
throughout the southwest.
TOBACCO SMUGGLERS DETECTED.
Clothing of Steerage Stewards
Lined With Sumatra Leaf.
New York. Nov. 28.—Five steerage
stewards employed by one of the trans-
Atlantic lines, were arrested in Ho
boken to-night by customs inspectors,
who found the stewards' clothing lined
with Sumatra leaf tobacco, which is
very costly.
Inspector O’Hare said that the men
were engaged in a systematic attempt
to pass the tobacco into the United
States without paying duty. He said
that there was evidence that for some
time past the goods had been regu
larly delivered to a prominent tobacco
nist in New York. Further arrests
will be made, he intimated, in New
York to-morrow.

Academy to-day. Bauer states that
he took up the pistol of his elder
brother (who was absent) removed all
the cartridges, as he thought, and when
young Dubroca came in a few minutes
later, he pointed the pistol at. him,
saying: “Throw up your hands!” pull

heat became so Intense that twenty
firemen were overcome and had to be

IN SECOND ROUND
TERRY' McGOVERN falls before
“YOUNG CORBETT.”
GREAT SURPRISE TO SPORTS.
BATTLE AT HARTFORD WAS FAST
AND FURIOUS.
Another Champion Cornea Onl at
the West—“ Terrible Terry” Was
in Good Fighting Trim, bnt He
Proved No Match for Hilly Rotli
urll, Otherwise “Y'onng Corbett."
Terry Like a YVild Man After Hl*
Second Knock Down and Corbett's
Work Was Easy—A Might on the
Jaw Did the YVork—History of the
Snlllvan-Corbett Fight Repeated.
Hartford, Conn., Nov. 28.—Knocked
out in the second round, ot which one
minute and forty-four seconds had
elapsed, was the referee's verdict of the
fistic, battle between "Young Corbett”
of Denver, (Yd:, and Terry McGovern
of Brooklyn, who has held the feather
weight championship unflinchingly
siinee he won it from George Dixon,
eighteen months ago.
"Young Corbett," who, outside ot
ring parlance, is known as Billy Roth
well of Denver, got the better of the
champion in less than two rounds ot
fighting and he did it so perfectly that
there was no doubt about It.
The shock ito the New York enthu
siasts who crowded the boxing pavil
ion when the lit tie champion w-as
knocked out. In the second round was a
repetition of the disappointment exhib
ited by the adherents of John L. Sul
livan when Corbett defeated him in
New Orleans.
Terry was as fit as the proverbial
fiddle, but he was not fast enough for
his man. Corbett stood off McGovern
on every lead and trick. When Mc-
Govern was- knocked down- In the
opening round there were cries of dis
may from his backers, but his won
derful recuperative powers were equal
to the occasion, and he was on his
feet within seven seconds.
However, this downfall seemed to
take the stamina out of McGovern,
but he fought the round in clever
style and tried hard to stem the tide
of defeat which sfcemed to have set
in against him. He tried all his rush
ing work, which proved so profitable
•on former occasions, but Corbett mst
his every curve and countered hard on
neck. Jaw and head.
Down went Terry again in the sec
ond round and when he got up quickly
he rushed like a wild man. He show
ed a lack of self-restraint and in a
burst of bad temper hit out
left and right irrespective of all rules
and usages. These tactics apparently
were just what Corbett was looking
for. Terry was mixing things up with
whirlwind velocity and throwing sci
ence to the winds. It was anyone’s
fight at this stage, but Terry fell into
a trap as Corbett feinted and sudden
ly sent his right out, when McGovern
was side-stepping. This blow just
grazed McGovern’s head, but a mo
ment later Corbett feinted him again,
and after a rattling exchange, sent
his right over to the jaw and Terry
went down and out. While the cham
pion was frantically trying to regain
his feet the crowd yelled madly.
The fighting was begun with a bout
between young Starr of Philadelphia,
and Jim Burke of New Y'ork. at catch
weights for fifteen rounds. It was an
nounced that Charley White of New
York, would act as timekeeper. In the
first round of the preliminary Starr
punished his opponent so badly that
the referee Htopi>ed the contest after
two minutes and twenty-one seconds,
and announced that Starr was the win
ner.
Sharkey anil Fitr.*lnimon* Spiel.
Sharkey entered the ring and said he
was ready to box Jeffries. Fitzsim
mons then made a statement to the qf
fect that he had defeated both Sharkey
and Ruhlin, and had challenged Jeffries
for another go, but Jeffries, he said,
had flunked, and “when the chumplon
flunked I decided to die with the Hor
ton law and have made up my mind
to devote the remainder of my life to
teaching young Americans how to de
fiend themselves.”
As soon as the men were In their
corners the seconds Ibegan preparing
the gloves for them. Big Bob Arm
strong tried to stretch a glove or break
It. Young Corbett and Sam Harris
walked across the ring and snapped
the glove, and said, “No breaking of
gloves here.” This ended the little dis
pute. Corbett donned the gloves. Mc-
Govern had his mitts during this
squabble and laughed while it was go
ring on.
Terry Started Oat Fine.
Round One —Terry tried left and sent
right to Jaw and got to the clinch. In
mix-up they got to both left and land
ed In the clinch. They exchang
ed lefts on the face, and Ter
ry, rushing, again sent left to
body and right to head. Corbett
was short on leads and Terry bored
him to the ropes and landed hard right
over the heart. Terry ducked left
swing and landed right clean on eye,
forcing his man to the ropes. Corbett
came back pluckily with left on body,
which was countered with right over
heart, by Terry. Terry led again with
right, landing on shoulder, and Cor
bett landed a hard right over heart,
rending Terry back, but the Brooklyn
hoy catne back with right and left for
chest and face, and the round ended In
one of the hottest mix-ups ever seen
In the ring. Honors even.

there was rapid exchange of rights and
lefts. Corbett on the defensive, met
Terry’s rushes with stiff blow* and

McGovern was not knocked sense

championship honors had fled from

got the decision over "Young Peter"
Jackson before the Eureka Athletic
Club here to-night, after twenty
rounds of perhaps the fiercest fighting
ever seen in this city, most of which
was done by Walcott, Jackson being on
the defensive from start to finish.
Walcott sailed in front the very first
with the evident intention of finishing
bis man as soon as possible, and be
tween laughs and Jokes with the spec
tators at the ringside, simply rained
blow after blow upon the Californian.
The Californian, however, took his
gruelling with remarkable fortitude,
until the fifteenth round, when Joe
sailed In, and after punching him all
over the -ring, unintentionally tripped
him, so that Peter landed on his hack
near the ropes. The chief ot police
then interfered and ordered the stop
ped, to which decision Peter protested
so vigorously that the chief relented
and permitted the pounding to con
tinue. Five more rounds of the same
kind of work ensued, Walcott doing all
the leading and hitting. whUV Jackson,
with the exception of a few feeble re
turns, did nothing but defend himself
and try to keep on his feet.

delegates to the Pan-American confer

“I have had the pleasure of living in

greater admiration than I. nor a bet
ter feeling and more grateful regard
for the manly virtues of the American
nation; for the sense of Justice of the
American stalesman, for the high
ideals of the American people, or for
the sincerity of its friendship towards
its sister nat'ons of Central and South
America. The noble words of that
great American diplomat. Mr. Hav.
have reached us. conveying to all the
Latln-Amerioan countries to-day rep
resented in Mexico, assurances of the
interest the government and the peo
ple of the United States take in our
prosperity and welfare, and the abso
lute unselfishness of its policy in re
gard to us, and we all know that those
sentiments are real; that those decla
rations are sincere as they come from
the government, and the men who have
always stood by their pledges and who
might have taken as a motto the words
of Shakespeare: 'Be all the ends thou
aimst at, thy country’s, thy God's and
truth’s.’ ’’

Prmldeut Enjoyed a Walk Willi
Secretary Hoot In Wintry Weather.
Washington, Nov. 28.—'Thanksgiving
Day passed very quietly at the White
House. There were no official callers.
President Roosevelt came early to the
office, before the employes were there,
and, finding nothing to engage his at
tention, started off for a walk. Al
though there was a snapping northwest
wind blowing, and this was the first
day of real wintry weather, with a
slight fall of snow on the ground, the
President wore no overcoat, but clad
in a closely buttoned box coat and
wholly unattended, he walked across
Lafayette Square and Connecticut av
enue to the home of Secretary Root.
Interrupting the latter in his morning
work, the President carried him off
and the two went out into the suburbs
for a constitutional.
The White House dinner was set
for 7:30 o'clock this evening, and it
was stated that there would be no
guests outside of the immediate fam
ily circle.

Charleston. S. C., Nov. 28.—The
Georgia football players were too much,
tor the shock-headed Charlestonians on
the gridiron this afternoon, winning
the game at the bail park easily, by a
score of 18 to 0. The weather was
ideal for .such sport, and a large crowd
was at the grounds when time was
called.
Savannah had it all her own way
almost from the moment of the kick
off, and within a few minutes after
play had been started, had scored her
first touch-down, Sullivan, 8., her
right half back making a phenomenal
run of 53 yards. This was by lon*
odds the most brilliant and sensational
feature of the ga me, though there w-ere
other plays on both sides which at
tracted enthusiastic, shouts from the
partisans of the contending players.
Charleston was greatly out-classed,
both in weight and science from tho
outset. The ball was kept continuous
ly in her territory and her line went
down before the superior brawn and
muscle of the Georgians at every
tackle. The visitors seemed to be in
the best possible condition, though
their manager claimed for them that
several of their best and weightiest
players had not been able to accom
pany the team.
The only casualties of the game, were
those sustained by Sullivan. 8., and
Landsberg. both from Savannah, the
former havtng his face badly bruised
while making a long run and being
tackled by Bulst. Landsberg’s right
side was injured near the close of the
second half, But he was able to walk
to the omnibus when time was called.
The men of Charleston eleven escaped
without seriou* hurt of any character.
Tits Savannah team reached Charles
ton at noon to-day. and went to the
Savoy Annex to rest up for the con
test. They postponed their Thanks
giving dinner until night, when victory
had been achieved, when they feasted
in royal style at the Savoy. They left
here to-night for home.
THE ATLANTA GAME A TIE.
Georgia Holds Down the Alabama
Polytechnics.
Atlanta., Nov. 28.—The annual
Thanksgiving game of football between
the elevens of the University of Geor
gia and the Alabama Polytechnic In
stitute (Auburn) was played here this
afternoon and resulted in a tie, neith
er side being able to score. The game
was hard fought in' every detail and
clear of dirty or ragged playing.
Georgia played straight football, de
pending principally upon her tackle
back formation. The teams were even,
ly matched, the Alabama boys possibly
having an advantage in their weight,
but were forced to resort, most entirely
to trick and fake plays. The game was
at times sensational, Georgia iat one,
time within two yards of Auburn's
goal, losing the ball on downs. Both
teams played fast ball, but Auburn was
weak In holding the skin and made
costly fumbles. Penalty after penalty
was Imposed on both teams for off-side
plays—Auburn losing what might have
been an easy touchdown by repeated
work of this character.
Over 5,000 people w itnessed the game.
Most of Georgia’s gains were netted by
the star playing of Dickinson, left half
back, and the head work of Right
Tackle Smith. For Auburn, Parks,
left end; Sloan, left half-back, and
Jerry G.wyn, right tackle, played the
game.
Surprised Their Friends.
Georgia played a far bat
ter game than even her friends
expected. The coaching was of a high
order and every point was watched.
Not a Georgia man was hurt, but one
of the Auburn team, McAdory, right
end, was temporarily disabled and had
to be removed from the field.
Georgia once or twice had the ball
on Auburn's 5-yard line. The mass
playing and formations of both sides
were good.
Auburn introduced some new forma
tions and plays which had never been
seen before here. Auburn’s men aver
aged 5 pounds heavier than Georgia.

Athens, Ga., Nov. 28.—The demon
stration here tonight by the student*
body is unprecedented in the history

The entire campus Is aglow from three
large bonfires. Th.* lire alarm was

cannon Is being fired from the canipua
gate, and crowds of citizens are par
ticipating tn th* celebration. When the
team arrives from Atlanta to-night
they v'tll be met by a torch light pre
