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, LIGHTING along the railroads.

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 Yesterday morning Mr. Young asked for his revolver at the Louisville Ho tel, where he lived.

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 There we# a bridge right ahead and I did not want to fall In that, ao 1 wait ed until wo were poet II and fell There WM only a slight embunhtiierii and In* ■ rash * a trie right after I lei go I filled full SO fids W hen I came u> I there was my engine on one side of me I I MitUF/r |t’|BiN|||f*i tbtf t Knr i.*" of ir+Ui M t>, 4 * i,i cj m/* #*l4 I)#, VtArl> 4irAvV I 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. STUDENT KILLS ANOTHER. ——— ( Thought He Had Emptied Cart ridges From Pistol. Port Gibson, Miss., Nov. 28.—Louis Bauer shot and killed his friend lion Dubroca, in the dormitory of the Hunt 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 ed the trigger and the pistol fired. Du broca sank to the floor a.nd died in five minutes. The boys were each about fifteen years of age, and reside at Port Allen, La. WATCHMAN BURNED TO DEATH. National Enameling Works De stroyed With Loss of s.'!(Kl,(mO. New Y'ork, Nov. 28—The woihs of tho National Enameling and Stamping Company in Brooklyn were entirely destroyed by fire early to-day and George Koch, a watchman, was burned to death. The loss will be more than $500,000. The plant occupied nearly an entire block, and the buildings were tilled with tinware of every descrip tion. The fire spread rapidly and the heat became so Intense that twenty firemen were overcome and had to be carried away.

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. < orhett Cool, Terry YVtlil. Round Two. —Terry rushed In with left to body and clinched and then there was rapid exchange of rights and lefts.

He forgot his defense, and simply saw a hurricane of blows coming toward him. one of which, a right swinging uppercut,landed square ly on the vulnerable point and Terry went down and out. McGovern'* Futile Effort. McGovern was not knocked sense less, but he evidently knew that the championship honors had fled from him. as he made wild efforts to regain his feet. Charley White, the referee, counted off ten seconds, while Terry struggled violently to regain his feet, but it was all over. After the fight a purse of SIO,OOO w r as offered by the Twentieth Century Club of San Francisco for another tight be tween McGovern and Corbett and Mc- Govern accepted the offer.

Baltimore, Nov. 28.—“ Joe” Walcott 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. A Ten-Honnd Draw at New Orlean*. New Orleans, Nov. 28.—Jack Dunleavy of Boston and Bob Douglass of St. Louis fought ten rounds to a draw be fore the Young Men’s Gymnastic Club to-night. The fight was fast and scientific and neither was able to In flict serious injury. HIGH PRAISE FOR AMERICA. Argentine Delegate Eloquently Ac cept* Onr Assurance* of Unselfish Policy. City of Mexico, Nov, 28.—Martin Garcia Meron. one of the Argentine delegates to the Pan-American confer ence. spoke at the banquet last night tendered by the Uhlted State* dele gatee In honor of their Spanish-Ameri can colleagues. He said in part: “I have had the pleasure of living in the United States and nobody has a 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.

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. f * | LOCOMOTIVE JUMPED TRACK.

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.
