Savannah <V—But Jacksonville O!
Gen. Sherman once said something
epigrammatic about war. but he had
never seen a really earnest competi
tion between two bitter football rivals.
All the hellish spirit of war was
In the Jacksonvllle-Savannah battle
yesterday. Only the weapons were
lacking, but such as the Lord gave
the rival teams were made use of
to the limit of ingenuity and courage.
Neither side obtained results, but so
fierce was the battle that the field was
strewn with victims.
Nor is this only a figure of language.
Scarcely five minutes could pass with
out some hero calling for first aid to
the Injured, if indeed he would not
measure his full length over all, un
conscious for the while on the soggy
sod.
Mach Time Was Lost.
The ittene occupied in repairing physi
cal damages, in reviving unconscious
players, in replacing the disabled men,
or in making decisions on rough-house
plays, was fully a third of the period
that elapsed between the hour when
the first whistle blew and that dusky
moment of turbulence when two bleed
ing and battered remnants of line
smashers limped wearily off the scene
of carnage with the figures of the score
set at 0 to 0.
Playing fully 50 per cent, better than
In the recent game with the soldiers,
relying upon individual brilliancy, and
a tricky assault against a much heavier
team, the men of Savannah fought
through the dragging minutes of a
long November afternoon, several
times with bright pinioned victory
seeming but to be had for one single
added effort.
One man in the light blue and white,
keen, dangerous and heady to the last,
made a splendid stand for Savannah.
This was the wily little general. Cope,
who will forever be honored in Sa
vannah’s athletic hall of fame. Others
worked hard with wonderful endurance
against a team which outweighed
them twelve pounds to the man, but
it was Cope’s ingenuity which saved
the day against the onslaughts of the
heavy Jay backfield. His line crum
bling to right and left about him, his
resources never quite exhausted, fac
ing a steadfast barrier of gold and
block, the blue and White captain
flung the staggering line again and
again against the unequal odds. Here
was a leader whose example, had there
been any to follow as he had planned
in the unequal conflict, might have
turned seeming defeat Into a glorious
victory.
Harmon’s Brilliant Work.
There flashed into that second half
of the struggle another football star,
whose luster shall never be dimmed in
local gridiron annals. Fleet-footed,
-eager, unflinching, the one man who
would have preferred not to don the
moleskins this year, and played only
because of the great and pressing need
of him. stood staunchly and courage
ously against the opponents who would
not be denied. All is not said of the
local heroes with this, for all fought
nobly,- however, disappointingly, and
the greatest surprise was the great
strength of the Jays.
Savannah, whatever her misgivings
of an uncertain early season, came on
to the field serene and almost nocha
lant. Scarcely a minute of play suf
ficed to filch from Cope’s men their
easy pride of superiority, and the man
who seized the fitful chance of the
moment was Hogan Yancy.
It was the making of the Savannah
team for the time being,
the unexpected shock that welded the
blue into an engine at once remorseless
and cruelly certain. The heavy backs
on the opposing team were downed in
their tracks, until the ball finally came
over. In that supreme effort of stem
ming the tide in the first five minutes
of play, when the unanticipated flutter
In the blue net aroused little Cope to
the crying need of the moment, some
of the fierceness of battle w’as stayed
in the attack of the locals, and there
was no one available to fill the demand
when it was made for Harmon, Rossi
ter and other noteworthy local ath
letes.
Jackaonvlllp Stronger Team.
Unquestionably the Jacksonville team
as It lined up was the strongest of
the two—and all of this strength was
In the back field. It was H. Yancy
here with the 'ball and W. Yancy there.
Tireless, with long strides fairly eat
ing up the Savannah territory, these
two brothers played side by Bide, and
formed nearly all there was to that
great offensive game which kept the
Blue and White enthusiasts on tip-toe.
The tackle back, headed by the big,
broad-chested Jones, were turned loos-'
on Savannah's crumbling line.
Jones. Windsor, H. Yancy and
W. Yancy, were flung into the
light blue's defense, their comrades
dragging, pulling and pushing, adding
inches to yards In their greed for Sa
vannah territory.
Sullivan Went In Injured.
Matched against these smashing tac
tics were the swinging wide circling
plays of the lighter back field on the
opposition. In this first half, Sullivan,
with a crippled ankle, showed little of
his old time speed and was finally
displaced when he could stand no lon
ger.
In the first half there was little of
fensive work for the locals to do, and
it was not until twenty-five nerve
wrecking minutes had dragged by, and
the too short ten minutes had been en
joyed before Savannah awoke with the
real Savannah spirit, and flashed down
the field Iri great gulps of ground gain
ing, with one slender youngster, with
the eye of an eagle for an opening, and
the speed of an antelope, carrying the
ball most of the time. Straight across
the coveted mark the oVai was hurtled,
only to be lost on a h#art breaking
technicality, brought about by the en
thusiasm of a local rooter.

large crowd witnessed the game.
rules of the general conduct of the
game.
The crowd of 3.000 forsook its furs
and overcoats to settle down to com
fotable enjoyment of the struggle, oc
casionally to be aroused by a pretty
run or a small bit of line breaking.
The first thrill of alarm went through
this great gathering of enthusiastic
suponters of the Blue and White al
most with the first shriek of the ref
eree’s whistle. After Cornwall had
sent the ball sailing well Into the
Gold and Black territory, Dodge re
ceiving it without gain, Hogan Yancy
made bis first bow to a Savannah foot
ball audience.
Bob Kennedy’s whining chant of the
elaborate series of signals had almost
been forgotten when the ball was final
ly snapped. The sturdy quarter seem
ed hold It interminably long, while In
front of him the struggle between the
two lines was going on as though the
play were being sent crashing through
every art.
Crouching low, waiting for the su
preme moment when the coast seemed
clear Hogan Yancy finally received the
delayed pass and went crashing
around Savannah's right end for fifteen
yards clean, and -but for a fast, hard
tackle by Landsberg, he was in a fair
way to play hare to the hound in a
chase for the coveted goal. Then there
was a true realization that the task
for Savannah was no easy one.
Panting a Feature.
Greart in line charging, magnificent in
grazing tackle and circling the end,
Worth Yancv, the real all-Southern
fullback, was wonderful In the consist
ency of his punting. No less than
seven times was he called on in the
first half to kick, and each time he
measured out from forty to fifty yards.
Capt. Cope was not up to his usual
punting game, once falling to get the
ball on a fair catch In a try for field
goal. The kick was blocked before
he finally got it away.
The sensation of the game was Ho
gan Yancy's run from Savannah s ten
yard line to a touchdown. Nothing
like it has ever been seen on a Savan
nah field, and even among the most
loyal Savannah rooters "too bad” found
free expression when the referee sus
tained claims of “out of bounds" as
Yancy was crossing the thirty-yard
line.
Twice Yancy carried the ball across
the goal line with no one near him,
only to lose the touchdown on going
out of bounds. That this was not a
fault of his was evident. His interfer
ence carried him too wide In each in
stance.
Savannah In Second Half.
In the second half the blue and white
flashed down the field without seeming
opposition. In the tired and bleeding
blue backfield there was anew figure,
as yet untried this season, but with
past laurels won on the gridiron to
recommend him as worthy of the trust
to be placed in him.
To the spectators on the side line
he reminded one of the peerless Har
mon, and in action he was more like
that whirling, wiggling, ducking,
dodging halfback who ha* never failed
when called on. Only once from the
sixty-yard line right on down for a
touchdown was he relieved of carry
ing the ball, and each try brought the
play from ten to twenty-five yards
further down the field.
On the five-yard line It was this Wil-

son who again took the ball and scored
a touchdown. The crowd went wild
with enthusiasm, only to be hushed
a few moments later when a claim of
the visitors that some uniformed Sa
vannah man had rushed behind the
goal post, making twelve men in uni
form on the field, was sustained as a
technical violation of the rules of the
game, and the goal was lost.
Too Mncli Wrangling.
All through the contest there was en
tirely too much kicking and wrangling.
Each time the ball was snapped "time
out” w'as called for opposing players
to engage in an argument.
Capt. Cope permitted none on the Sa
vannah team to engage in these argu
ments, and Jacksonville’s kicks were
registered with the umpire and referee
alternately.
The officials were not positive enough,
‘and the retirment of one or two of the
offenders to the side lines would have
greatly assisted in keeping down rough
house performances.
Following is how the game was play
ed:
First Half.
Cornwell kicked off for Savannah,
Dodge receiving the ball was downed
by L&ndsberg without gain. Mitchell
was hurt in the scrimmage and was
relieved bv Artlv. H. Yancy netted
fifteen yards on a delayed pass around
left end. and added two more on a
buck. W. Yancy eight, H. Yancy ten,
Ferris fumbled, Landsberg falling on
the ball.
Sullivan ten yards in two attempts.
Sullivan failed to gain, Artly two, Art
ly failed and the ball went over.
Ferris lost one. Kennedy fumbled,
Dodge falling on the ball for a gain
of three. Penalized fifteen yards for
forward pass made by W. Yancy
when tackled hard by Landsberg. Fer
ris one. H. Yancy four. Ferris lost

gain W. Yancy punted forty yards.
Cope received the ball advancing it
ten yards.
Doty one, Artly one, Doty three, Sul
livan four. Cornwell one, Sullivan two,
Sullivan one, ball going over on downs.
W. Yancy one. H. Yancy lost one
on pretty tackle by Artly back of the
line, H. Yancy eight, Kennedy lost
two on a quarterback run, Cubbedge
making a sensational tackle. W.
Yancy kicked. Cope receiving the ball
and returning it ten yards.
With the ball on Savannah’s ten
yard line, Capt. Cope ptinted twenty
five yards.
On a triple pass to Ferris five yards
lost. H. Yancy no gain, W. Yancy
kicked, Cope returning the ball fifteen
yards. Cope kicked again.
After receiving the kick Jacksonville
rushed the ball to within ten yards
of goal. On a delayed pass close to
the northern side line Yancy went the
required distance for a touchdown, but
claims that he went out of bounds
were sustained, and the ball went over
on downs. Cope kicking twenty yards.
Time was up with the ball in Jackson
ville's territory on the twenty yard
line.
Second Half.
Wilson replaced Sullivan, fbr Savan
nah, at left half back. W. Yancy
kicked off, Johnson receiving the ball
without gain. With gains of from
eight to twenty yards, Wilson was sent
around the ends, through tackle and
over the line for a touchdown, which
was disallowed because a claim of sub
stitutes In uniform on the field was
made by Jacksonville. One of these,
In his enthusfasm, touched the ball be
fore the referee had declared a touch
down. The ball was put back on Jack
sonville's fifteen-yard line, with Jack
sonville in possession.
On a delayed pass, with perfect in
terference, Hogan Yancy eluded the
entire Savannah team, and ran the
entire distance of the field for a touch
down, but was forced out of bounds
as he was crossing the thirty-yard line,
and this touch down, too was disal
lowed. When the teams finally lined
up. after much wrangling over the de
cision of the referee in disallowing the
touchdown, a fisticuff among the play
ers brought the crowd on the field,
most of whom were boys curious to
see just what was going on. It was
then so dark that the game was called
by mutual agreement.

CHARLESTON NOW DANGLES
THE SCALP OF FURMAN
Defeated the College Players by a Score That
Wet Grounds Kept Down to 39 to 0.
Charleston, S. C., Nov. 24. —On a
field, the greater part of which was
covered with soft, sticky mud, Char
leston defeated the football team rep
resenting Furman University this aft
ernoon by the score of 39 to 0, the ball
being in Furman’s territory the greater
part of the time. The score would
have been larger in Charleston’s fav
or, but for the fact that the field near
the Ferman goal was four Inches un
der water, and the ball was fumbled
by Charleston, when within one yard
of the line.
Furman was hopelessly outclassed
throughout the game, and never had a
ray of hope during the entire contest.

Macon, Nov. 24.—Five thousand peo
ple saw the University of Georgia go

Pennsylvania scored four touch

VIRGINIA BEAT
THE CAROLINIANS
FOR SOUTH’S CHAMPIONSHIP
BY THE CLOSE SCORE OF 12 TO 11
AT RICHMOND.
It Wna by an Accident That Virginia
Won—One of the North Carolina
Flayer* Slapped a Low Ball for
Goal, Coaxing It to Mount Over
the Bar—North Carolina Mined an
Eny Goal.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 24.—The Uni
versity of Virginia defeated the Uni
versity of North Carolina in their an
nual game for the Southern cham
pionship at Broad Street Park this
afternoon by a margin of but one
point. The score was 12 to 11, the
Carolinians failing of a drawn battle
by their inability to land a rather
easy goal. It was the irony of fate
that the point that won the game for
the Orange and Blue was the result of
an accident in which a Carolinian
player figured. With the score 11 to
11, Virginia had a try for goal. The
ball was booted straight enough, but
too low to get over the bar and a
Carolina player standing beneath the
posts, jumped into the air and’ struck
the ball, deflecting it upward and
over the bar.
, The two 'teams were as evenly
matched as it was possible for them
to be, and the offense of each was su
perior to its defense. Virginia played
\Yale football, straight line plunges
and mass plays being used effectively
against the Carolina line, until the
Blue and White were hammered back
over their own line. Carolina, played
Princeton style, depending on end
runs chiefly for gains. Carolina had
a star back field and one of the heav
iest ever seen In this city.
Carpenter, an old V. P. I. player,
was the star of the game and Caro
lina‘s main dependence as a ground
gainer. It was he who made all of
the Carolinians’ best runs and their
second touchdown after a thirty-yard
dash. The first touchdown of the
game made by Carolina, was due to a
Virginia muff of a punt on its own
goal line, the ball rolling over and a
Carolinian falling on it.
For Virginia Right Tackle Council
made the first touchdown after the ball
had been rushed almost the length of
the field. Hammond Johnson carried
the ball over for the second. In a
brilliant fifteen-yard dash into the line.
Both yielded goals. The line-up was

Not a first down was earned by the
visitors in the opening half, and only
once during this period did Cornell
hold for downs. Pennsylvania was
penalized 46 yards In the first half, and
was set back forty yards In the closing
period of the game.
Fumble after fumble occurred In the
Cornell back field, and on nearly ev

A feature of the game was the fierce
tackling of the Pennsylvania boys. On
nearly every scrimmage when the
Cornell team had the ball there would
be one of the visitors laid out. Stur

was replete with surprises and critical
situations, which kept the 18,000 spec
tators on the qui vlve from the time of
the first kick off until the final whis
tle blew.
The climax was reached In the mid
dle of the second half. Eckersall
caught the ‘ball on the kick-off on Chi
cago’s three-yard line and started to
ward Wisconsin's goal. The Wisconsin
men came thundering down upon him.
Some of them were stopped by Chi
cago interference and others. Eckersall
dodged until only Sromqulst, Wiscon
sin’s fullback, blocked the way to a
touchdown. Dodging dangerously near
the side line the speedy little quarter
back rushed by the outstretched fin

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The method of preparing a system of
communication for use In the field In
war time Is Interesting, Where the
nature of the country and conditions
will permit the reels of wire and the
batteries are carried In wagons. The
line ie so laid tut to become permanent,
a detail tallows tbs wagon at leisure
gers of his opponent, grazing his leg
as he passed. Two seconds late he was
beneath a pile of squirming humanity
behind the Wisconsin goal posts. He
had made the record run of the sea
son, covering 107 yards, to do which he
actually ran 115 yards.
The crowd went wild,Wisconsin root
ers joining with the Chicago men in
cheering the play. All sense of parti
sanship was lost in the general admi
ration for the magnificent play.
A few moments later Vanderboom,
who played a star game for Wisconsin,
was given almost as gTeat an ovation
when he made a fifteen-yard run for
a touchdown. His play was the cul
mination of a series of line smashes
by which Wisconsin had worked the
ball from their own twenty-yard line
to Chicago’s tvventy-flve-yard line.
The game was particularly notable
for the tenacious grit with which both
elevens fought for every inch of
ground. Wisconsin near the end of
the second half, succeeded in holding
Chicago for downs on Wisconsin’s one
yard line.
was paid for Sadie Mac, another of
the E. E Smathers’ string, who was
bought by Miss Kate S. Wilkes of
Galt, Ont„ for $15,500.
Prince Alert, the world’s champion
pacing gelding, with a race record of
1:59*4, and a record of 1:57 with a
wind shield, was sold to Edward
Mitchell of New York for Walter Wy
man of London, for $2,600. He was
consigned by James Hanley of Provi
dence, R. I.
Grace Bond, the champion 3-year
old trotter of 1904, consigned by James
Y. Gatcomb, was sold to Alonzo G.
Maynard of New York for $13,000.
and attaches the wire to trees or hast
ily erected supports.
For flying lines, or lines in the zone
of action, lines connecting the com
mander's headquarters with the vari
ous divisions, the detail following the
linesmen merely lay the wire In pro
tecting places where it is least likely
to be damaged. The lines may be
taken up, moved or abandoned, as the
occasion requires. Where the nature
of the country or other conditions ren
der the advance of the wagon impos
sible or inexpedient, the line is ad
vanced by men carrying coils of wire
on their shoulders.
A scout advancing into the enemy’s
country beyond the point where the
wagon must stop is accompanied by a
telephonist, who uncoils his line from
his shoulders as he moves forward.
To the inner end of the coil is attach
ed the telephonist’s instrument. Thus
he is able at all times to report the
scout’s observations direct to the
scout’s commander and to receive in
structions from headquarters.
When the scout is called or forced to
fall back the line may be recovered by
the telephonist or abandoned after cut
ting the instrument loose. If the
scout Is taken the operator at the oth
er end of the wire is made instantly
aware of the capture by the cessation
of signals, and the line is useless to
the enemy.
It will be seen that the use of the
telephone In the field eliminates the
time element in the transmission of or
ders and intelligence and guarantees
against mistakes. It also affords the
means of communicating orders with
absolute secrecy.
Frequently in great battles It has
occurred, as in the first battle of
Manassas, that batteries were kept Idle
for hours and much-needed reinforce
ments held In check with resultant dis
aster because the means of rapid com
munication was lacking. It has oo
curred, too, that a retreat at one point
and qn attack, real or feigned, at an
other would have saved an army from
defeat—movements that were not
made because the commander lacked
information of what was taking place
at those points, or if he was informed
lacked the means of promptly ordering
the necessary moves. That the com
mander of to-day Is at no such disad
vantage is made clear in the accounts
from Manassas recently and the re
ports of the efficient work of the sig
nal corps.
The tactics of to-day are based, as
were the tactics of other days, upon
the assumption that the opposing
forces are equally well equipped with
death-dealing weapons, and that In a
general way all soldiers are men of
great physical courage. But the op
erations and strategy of the older time
would not do for to-day.
Modern weapons are In a great meas
ure responsible for the new tactics,
but the strategic operations of modem
warfare are made possible only by the
highly developed efficiency of modern
methods of transmitting Intelligence.
The Importance of a superior Intel
ligence department was shown by the
operation* of the American forces dur
ing the war with Spain. It Is more
clearly *hown In the operations of the
Japanese against the Russians, where
other things, to all Intents and pur
pose*. are equal.
The birth of the modern signal corps
occurred during the Civil War and
Immediately after the battle of Ms
nassas, and while much lip the way
of advance baa been accomplished from
time to lime by other nations engaged
In war, It le not claiming too much to
