PERFECT FOOTBALL EXHIBITION
AT PARK THIS AFTERNOON
SPLKMJIU WEATHER AMI SMALL
ADMISSION PRICE.
SOLDIERS ARE IN PINK
OF CONDITION FOR GAME.
IN THIS CONTEST RESULT OF TWO
WEEKS’ WORK WILL BE SHOWN.
Ruth Eleven* on Edge lor the Kray
and Some Spectacular Playing la
Anticipated Captain Slfoert, ot
Soldiers. Says His Team Will Fight
for All It l> Worth—l.a rite At
tendance In Anticipated.
For the second time this season the
Blue and White of Savannah will be
lined up against an opposing eleven.
The Fort Screven team, which plays
Savannah this afternoon at 3:30 o’clock,
will come up from the Fort this morn-
ing to prepare for the battle.
Last night Capt. Cope put the squad
through a light signal practice lasting
45 minutes. There were flashes of the
old time speed and a consistent display
of team work, which has been so rap
idly developed by Capt. Cope.
All seem to be in perfect physical
condition, and while no effort will be
made to equal or exceed Charleston's
score against the soldiers, there will be
sufficient spectacular play to convince
the supporters of the Blue and White
that the team is even stronger and
faster than last year.
More Offcnnive Worlt.
What Savannah lacked in the Flor
ida State College g*ame was offensive
work. In the last two weeks Capt.
Cope has devoted much of his labors
>to coaching the line in charging, and
drilling the backs in the secondary
attacks.
Pennsylvanian’s ftftnous gifards back
formation will be followed in the execu
tion of the tackle back plays. In this
way faster men are put into the play,
and this leaves the forwards to pre
pare. as far as possible, an opening
through which to send this human
catapult.
The plays on which the Blue and
White will depend to defeat Charleston
will not be used to-dhy, as Capt. Cope
is working slowly and carefully to
perfect them. But there have been
sufficient innovations in the style of
defense ’and offense to completely
change the style of play whien was
noticed in the first game played this
year by the blue and white. There
w ill be no more dead marches back to
formations, and no more wrangling
among the players themselves.
Large Crowd Expected.
With a promise of perfect football
weather, and a gate fee cut in half.
It is anticipated that nearly 2,000 peo
ple will turn out to witness the game
this afternoon.
In the game to-day Capt. Cope will
use all of the men who are now com
peting for places. Futch and Mon
sees will be used at center; Hicks,
Highams, Morgan and Levy at guards;
Cornwall, Mitchell and Johnson at
tackte: Landsberg, Cubbedge and Abel
at ends; Shortridge and Mclntire at
quarterback; Sullivan, Doty and Col
quitt at halfback, and Artley at full
back.
Following is the Fort Screven team:
Dobson, 155, left end; Lupper, 178, left
tackle; Shipsey, 184, left guard; Dixon,
187, center; Blackman, 191, right guard;
Stern, 190, right tackle; Wagnon, 160,
right end; Sibert, 156, quarterback;
Jones, 17$, left halfback; Parrott, 166,
right halfback; Towers, 195, fullback;
Lee, ISO, Janlas, 174; Crosby, 171;
O’Farrell, 157, substitutes.
Capt. Sibert went down to the fort
yesterday to have the last practice
with the team, having been away for
ten days. He said last night that the
men were in excellent condition, and
showed no ill effects of the game with
Jacksonville Sunday.
‘‘l believe," said Capt. Sibert, ‘‘that
the team will be much stronger in de
fensive work against Savannah than
It was against either Charleston or
Jacksonville. The men have had some
valuable experience In these two games,
and showed up wonderfully well yes
terday. We certainly will play as hard
as we can and expect to give the Sa
vannah team a good contest."
CAPTAINS ONYALE’S VICTORY
OVER PRINCETON SATURDAY.
Foulke Says His Men Played Their
Hardest.
Tale's victory over Princeton In
the big annual football struggle Satur
day is still the chief topic of convera
tion In sporting circles, even over
shadowing the chat of Yale's chances
against Harvard next Saturday. The
statements of those most concerned
will be of interest:
Capt. Foulke, of the Princeton eleven,
would only say that his men had met
fefeat after playing the hardest game
of their lives.
"Each man," said the Orange and
Black leader, “played to the best of his
ability, and that is all that could be
expected of them. Tale had a far
stronger team than ours, and Its
superior weight made it next to im
possible for us to stand against them
on the muddy field.”
Head , Coach Hildebrand said the
Princeton team had not played up to
its standard especially in the first
half. The men were too careless In
making errors and too frequently were
penalized. Themlserable condition ofthe
field, he declared, undoubtedly con
tributed a considerable share toward
Prlncton's defeat.
"We can only hope for better suc
cess next time," the Tiger coach con
cluded,
Capt- Hogan, of the Yale eleven,
said:
"1 am proud of the way our men
played. Every man played hi* game,
and played It well. I expect we would
win. but did not hope to leave Prince
ton without being scored on. Princeton
played a good game and gave us the
hardest fight we have had this year.
Yale’s offense was strong and our ad
ded weight was a great advantage on
such a wet. slippery field. It was our
turn to win, anyway.”
Trainer Jim Robinson, of the Prince
ton squad, said every Princeton man
was in good condition when he went on
the field and the Tigers' defeat was the
result of irrestible weight and power.
"The men," said Robinson,"were in as
good condition as they were in the
game last year, and, as far as physical
condition Is concerned, were fit to play
a winning game.”

The annual Savannah-Charleston
football game is attracting attention all
over the South. So far Charleston
seems to have first call In the public
choice. This comes of not knowing
who is playing on the Savannah team.

Ed Ashenback has written a letter
to a friend in Charleston promising
•the pennant winning team for the
Dream City next year.
Atlanta papers generallly charge that
Georgia showed superiority In individ

individual play is nothing more than
defensive play it will be hard to re
concile these criticisms with the score
which was made against Georgia.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 16. 1904.
LOU DILLON IS TO TRY AGAIN
Smathers* Offer to Donate SIO,OOO to Charity
Will Be Ignored.
A fine young tempest In a small tea
pot has blown up over the charges by
“Mickey” Shannon and Dr. Hollenbeck,
special representatives of Er E. Smath
ors, that C. K. G. Billings' great mare,
Lou Dillon, did not really make the
reported mile credited to her by the
official timers, says a special from
Memphis.
One result of the filing of charges
has been that Lou Dillon will make
another attempt against the record on
Wednesday. Millard Sanders, driver
of the mare, said to-day: “We will
start the mare again on Wednesday if
the weather is good, and. If it is not on
that dav, we will start her on one of
the three following days. We will, of
course, pay no attention to Mr. Smath
ers’ offer to give SIO,OOO to the St. Jo
seph’s Hospital in this city if the mare
can do 2:01 again. We ignore Mr.
Smathers entirely in this matter. All
I can say about him is that he is dying
hard.

further duty.
Attorneys Wilson A Rogers have filed
“We will not race for his money, but
we do ask that he have a number of
reliable timers on hand Wednesday.
Unprejudiced observers of the perform
ance are at a loss to understand how
the discrepancy of 1 1-5 seconds be
tween the watches of the official timers
and those of the Smathers representa
tives could have occurred. At the
rate Lou Dillon was going a difference
of that length of time would have
amounted to perhaps tifty feet, and it
Is not reasonable to suppose that a
mistake ot fifty feet could have been
made by expert timers.”
“Someone made a grave mistake, and
It looks as if it must have been the
Smothers timers. Four watches at the
track beside those held by the official
timers showed 2:01 for the mile. Three
were under 2:01, and only two in addi
tion to Mr. Smathers' representatives
were over, and these two were re
spectively a quarter and a fifth over,
and the word of these twelve men is
above question, but so is that of Mr.
Smathers’ representatives, for that
matter, and they made the time for the
mile 2:02 1-5, and there the matter will
stand until next Wednesday.”

—Emperor William wrote a poem
once, which he submitted to a ,great
literary man who dined at the castle
for that purpose particularly. The
critic read It, and found his dual du
ties in conflict. He had to advise an
amateur poet with an exceptional pow
er for resenting hostile comment. He
yielded only a very little to the exi
gencies of the situation. “This verse,
your majesty,” he began, “seems to
require alteration in certain respects.”
The author took the manuscript and
conned it thoughtfully. Then his brow
fleared. "Why,” he cried, as one see
