NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
The lid comes off the Southern gridiron a Saturday. *
From a culinary viewpoint it may seem odd that gridirons
have lids, but what’s the odds. The fun begins Saturday, any.
how, and that’s the main thing.
Tech opens up her regular season with a game against Frank
Blake’s Gordon Institute team.
In the natural course of,events it would not seem probable
that such a game would cause any worry in the Yellow Jackets’
nest. But it so happens that Frank Blake always has a good team
and one which will take a lot of beating.
This season Blake’s team was raided and hardly a handful of
old men left as a nucleus around which to build a now team. But
Blake has a happy knack of getting out a team of players some*
ho>y and his preps went down to Clemson Saturday and held the
South Carolina Tigers down to a single touchdown.
In consequence of this notable performance on the part 6t the
Cadets, Coach Ileisman is bestirring himself to get a good team
ready to meet Gordon Saturday afternoon.
Georgia takes on a reasonably hard game for the opener—
meeting Dahlonega, alias the North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege. This team is coached by Professor Johnson, a Wisconsin
player. Now Wisconsin tactics Bre Something unknown in this
neck of the woods and in conserpienco tho “Agriculturists” are
likely to spring something pretty fancy. Dahloncga had a pretty
snappy team last year and promises to have even a better one this
' year.
I .-.-I «
Auburn, a good old rival of Tech nnd of Georgia, has already
S laved one game, defeating the Montgomery Athletic Club 24 to
. Her game Saturday is against Howard College, a S. I. A. A.
debutant this year, which promises to have a pretty fair team.
Clemson does not have a game until next Wednesday. David
son does not play again until the middle of October. The Univer
sity of Alabama, a team which .s watched with interest, because
it plays Georgia later in the season, plays Maryville Saturday ns
an opener. Mercer has no game until October 12. Neither has
Mississippi.
The Mississippi A. and M. team plays its first game Wednes
day, meeting the S. W. P. U. team of Clarksville, Tenn. *
• North Carolina plays Washington nnd Lee Saturday.
Sewanee has no game until October 10.
Tennessee takes on Williamsburg College for her opening
game. Just what Williamsburg College amounts to is not known
and this game will not furnish much of a line of dope.
Vanderbilt is one of the few big Southern teams which takes
on a team of class for the opener. The Commodores play Ken
tucky State nnd the game promises to be a decidedly fast work
out for the Commodores.
The height of Southern strenuosity is reached by Virginia.
This team lias already played one tough game with Davidson.
On Wednesday it meets Richmond College and on Saturday St.
John’s College.
Which seems to indicate that Virginia is in a hurry to get in
trim.
Maryville Starts Friday
On Long, Troublesome Trip
A 1907 RECORD-BREAKER
By R. S. DICKSON, Coach.
Special to Tho Georgian.
Maryville, Tenn., Oct. 1.—The Mary
ville College football team haa a hard
schedule before It thla season.
Starting from here on Friday, Octo
ber 4, the flrst team met tpr Moryvlllo
will be tho University of Alabama, at
Tuscaloosa, Ala., on October 6; October
7, at Auburn, Ala., the Alabama Poly,
technic Institute la played, and on Oc
tober 8 Clemson College, at Calhoun,
S. C.
The team Is In good shape physically,
notwithstanding the continued hot
weather, which has bothered so many
Southern teams this year.
Maryville's system of play will be
conducted along the general lines of
last season, with changes natural to
the experience of the season of 1906,
and Increased familiarity with the
"now football."
Although the team Is comparatively
green and untried. It Is heavy and fast
for the season of the year and will be
counted on to play hard, clean, sports
manlike football.
The game Hcptember 26 with Ameri
can University showed Maryville's of
fense to be fairly well developed, but
as her opponents did not have the ball
more than a minute (actual time), her
defense was not strongly proven.
This great horse. Dandelion, sired by Hamburg, beat Running Water, in a nose finish, of the Oriental
handicap at the Gravesend course, and clipped a eecond off the record for the mile and a quarter. Dandelion's
new record is 2:042-5. Jockey Nicol had tho mount on the Hitchcock horse and outgeneraled Miller on Run
ning Water in the final drive.
AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE NEARS END
ATHLETICS’ GAME.
Philadelphia, Oct. 2.—With Berger,
the pitcher who held the Yankees to
one hit a few days ago. In the bo* for
Cleveland yesterday afternoon, the Ath
letics shut out the Naps In handy style.
Umpire O'Loughlln, whose decision cost
the Athletics a victory on Monday, was
hissed as he walked off the fl4ld. Tho
attendance Is dropping off, now that
the locals are hard up for pitchers and
seem to be losing heart.

Amateur Champions Clash
At Ponce DeLeon Today
Thl. afternoon the Bun Proof team,
champion aggregation of the Commer
cial League,-and the Carter & Gillespie
team, winner of the pennant In the City
League, will meet at Ponce DeLeon In a
battle for the championship of the city.
The proceeds of the game will go to
the Old Woman’s Home and the winner
will get a handsome pennant, which
was presented to the Gordon Chapter of
King's Daughters, and by them wilt be
given to the winner of Wednesday's
game. The pennant has for some time
been on exhibition In a window of
Chamberlln-Johnson-DuBose Co.
On tho strength of having Ed La
fltto to pitch, the City League champs
are the favorites In the race, Tbs Sun
Proof team, however, w/ll use Harry
Harman In the box, and the members
of the organisation are brim full of
confldence. As the City League pitcher
Is a Tech man and ns the Commercial
League performer comes up from the
University of Georgia for the occasion,
the affair has an element of college
rivalry, which adds to the interest.
TRAWICK MAY OFFER CUP
FOR HANDICAP TOURNAMENT
The prospects that there will he an
other Trawick Cup for the golfers of
the Atlanta Athletic Club to play for
loom bright at present, and It now
seems likely that the event will be a
handicap affair, Instend of being played
from scratch, as heretofore.
Owing to the long and serious Illness
of Sam Trawick. who has offered a
handsome cup annually for Atlanta
golfers. It was thought that there would
be no Trawick tournament this year.
A friend of Mr. Trawick. who re
cently returned from New York, brings
the news that tho Trawick Cup will
probably be put up again and that If It
Is, It will be played for with handicaps.
The Iden of having a handicap affair
seems a good one to all local golfers. In
the flrst place, the club championship
event—when the A. A. C„ Adair and
Arnold Club cups will be played for—
will be from scratch, so there will be
one big scratch event this year. For
another thing the fact that three or
four golfers In the club stand so tpr
above the rest and one of this select
few stands so far above the others that
there Is little Interest for the "common
or garden variety” of golfers in a big
scratch event.
With the Trawick and club tourna
ments still ahead of local golfers then
promises to be a lot of activity In the
gamp during the fall.
Johnson Names
Jack Sheridan
Newr York, Oct 2.—The umpires of
the world's championship post-season
baseball games between the Chicago*
of the National League and whichever
team wins the American pennant will
be Jack Sheridan and probably Hank
O'Day.
Sheridan baa already n selected
by Ban Johnson as .ie American
League umpire, and vie reason for
thinking Pulliam will Thoose O’Day as
the Natloaal League official Is that
Emslle has been assigned for the poet-
season series In Boston and Johnstone
for the St. Louis Brow ns-Cardlnals se
ries. Johnston and Evans will be the
St. Louts umpires, while Connolly will
be Emslle's mate In Boston.
DETROIT’S GAME.
Washington, Oct. 2.—That redoubt
able fighting spirit which characterises
the Detroit Tigers scored another vie
tory yesterday when Hughey Jennings'
meh successfully defended their post
tlon In the greatest race in the annals
of baseball by downing the Washing
ton club.
From the time the team took the
field until the last batter was retired,
there was no let-up In their work.

BILL KIRK’S COLUMN
(From lien rat Service.)
“WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?’’
Worla by Hugh Jennings and Connie Mack.—Music by Ban Johnson.
Detroit bas the tenui that Is x r »lng to win,
That’s bon* I’m lotting my bundle of tin.
Jennings lias managed superbly this year.
Crawford’s a wonder nnd Cobb Is another,
The but of the latter knows hardly a
brother.
O’Leary and Mcbnefer are fielding sublimely.
And the bitting of all the Tigers Is timely.
Whnt do you know about that?
Out In Detroit they have ordered the rag—
What do you know about that?
Mack and his minions can’t weather the
storm—
Me for Detroit when the finish gets warm!
Detroit haa the manager; also the form—
Whnt do you know about that?
IL
The Athletics ore sure to wind up In the
lend;
Waddell and Chief Bender aro showing their
Young Dygert Is throwing his spit ball dl*
> vlnrlr—’
As the \assnr clrls 6ay, he Is “looking
finite finely.
Big Seybold is there with his shoulders Im
mense,
Stinging them over the center field
And Mack. Connie Mack, never milking a
blunder—
If OrllT’s an “Old Fox,” what Is Connie, I
wonder.
Take It from me, friends, take It from me:
The Athletics will land at tlje top of the
tree.
Chorus: •
Mack Is the man who will skim off the
cream—
Whnt do you know about that? V
II«* Ik the cniulr, his team is the team—
Whnt do you know about that?
Jennings? Well, hardly! Ills fellows can't
last.
Bravely enough have they weathered tho
blast,*
But Mack has them tied to the second-
place mast—
What do you know shout that?
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Dear Sir: I have been thinking of mnklng n bet with n friend who like* the I »e-
rolt team to win. but I bate to cough up my hard-earned money until I know Jrtst
vhere the Detroit team Is going to finish. If you can decide this bet In ndvnnre for
e, I believe I will make It. HALL ROOM IIAItUY.

and whom I shall wed Mext week, Is a memlier of the Detroit Imsebnll club, and* be
lieve me, dear sir, he Is so unnerved by the close race for the pennant that lie has
not written iue a line for ten days. The Inst letter I got from him was written In
such trembly characters that I could scarcely decipher It, and I would like to know
how I enn restore his pence of mind. ANOKLINE.
Get hlnCto Join the Ht. Louis club. The boys from the Missouri city aren’t feel
ing very shaky these days.
Dear Hit; Since rending Llpton’a challenge and the story thnt he has been turned
down, do you suppose the Giants have been losing out for the same reason, 1. e., a
short and aklmpy water line? KNOCKER.
I dread asklug the Giants. You ask them.
Dear Questions nnd Answers: I snw In a recent number of your paper your
advice to tw young, ambitious hurdler. He qsked you how he could get to Ik* rt bet
ter jumper, nnd you told him to try rooming with a flea. The 1aat time I saw you,
In Mt. Paul, Minn/, you were rooming with a flea or two, If I rememlwr^rtijht.^
Ho I was, so I was. But have you noticed the way 1 have been going over the
hurdles ever since?
Dear Questions nnd Answers: I have always been a cloae follower of sports, nnd
take much Interest In team work. I know thnt baseball teams neTer win any pen-
nnnts unless they have good organisation, nnd believe tho same Is truo of football.
I am starting au organisation myself, and would like to know how to weld It to

Sweet’s Knee Still Bad and

Nothing spectacular was uncorked
In th* practice at Tech park Tuesday
afternoon. Nothing was developed, In
fact, but hard work.
Coach Helsman had two full teams
out and about a dozen men over.
After the usual limbering-up work
there was a long scrimmage. In which
tho 'varsity plowed 'through, circled
around and ran over the scrubs, show
ing up In better shape than usual.
Chip Robert was not on the ’varsity
and fears are felt about his chances of
pluming through the rest of the season.

ENGLISH WANT
ANOTHER CUP
May Offer New Trophy For
Sir Thomas Lipton
to Win.
London, Oct. 2.—As an outocme of
the refusal of the New York Yacht Club
to accept Sir Thomas Llpton's challenge
for a race for the America's cup. It Is
probable, according to The Times, that
a new cup will be offered In response to
suggestions of the British press for an
International match under European
rules of measurement. In ouch a case
Sir Thomas will build a 23-meter rac
ing cutter to compete.
Sir Thomas sold to the Hearst News
Service correspondent that there was
no change In the situation regarding his
challenge for the America's cup.
The scrub team already beglna to
show the effects of Assistant Coach
Halt's training and before very long the
“chopping block” aggregation will de
velop Into a pretty Bhlfty bunch of
players. There Is really good light
material on the scrub team and some
of It Is likely to develop Into 'varsity
material In time. Ayers, the scrub
quarter, has been playing a particular
ly brilliant game, and Spaulding at
center has shown up well.
NAVY NOW MAKING PREPARATIONS
TO DEFEAT STRONG VANDY TEAM

Annapolis, Md„ Oct. 2.—Because of
Vanderbilt’s vigorous showing* against
Michigan lost yeaf, and because of the
unceremonious way the Commodores
treated the red eklns In the memorable
game at Nashville last fall, the coming
game between the Vanderbilt and navy
teams Is being given a great deal of at.
tention, here and elsewhere. ■ _
Annapolis football material this year
Is better than ever before.
Only four men of last year's star
team are missing from the line-up,
Spencer, Ingram, Norton and Bernard.
The positions left vacant will be tilled
by men who were on last year’s squad
who were quite prominent In a number
of the minor games played last year by
the navy.
With the entering class came notable
pigskin chasers, who played on promi
nent college and preparatory school
teams last season.
Practice st the Naval Academy la
now on In earnest, and even with all
this select lot of material Captain
Douglass and the coaches are much
worried, fearing that they will not have
•heir team In shape to meet the strong
Believe Commodores Hard
er to Beat Than Har
vard.
teams that they are scheduled to play
during thtf early season.
Captain Douglass regrets that the
Vanderbilt game comes so early In the
season, as he feels that this Is going to
be as hard a team as Harvard to- de
feat. Although the navy plays four
games before she meets Vanderbilt,
they are not with Strang teams, and
the defense will not hav* a thorough
trial before she meets Vanderbilt. Last
year the midshipmen were particularly
strong on rushing the ball, but the de
tente was hot equally as strong, and
the word seems to have reached the
captain and coaches that the Commo
dores are about as hard as any team In
the land to stop when they are under
way.
Never before has Captain Douglass
been In such good physical condition to
play the game since he has been at
the academy. While at the University
of Tennessee Captain Douglass made
quite a reputation for himself as
halfback, but soon after he entered
Annapolis he was unfortunate enough
to have an arm broken In a game. Dur.
Ing last year this same Injury both
ered him considerably In his playing.
Nevertheless, with this handicap, he
played a strong game and did much
to lower the army colors. The trainer
and coaches consider that Douglass Is
In better shape this year than ever be
fore, and that he will be ranked at the
end of the season as one of the best
backs that ever played the game.
. The navy team will play four games
before she meets Vanderbilt on Octo
ber 12: Western Maryland University,
Maryland Agricultural College. St.
Johns College and Dickinson. All
these games are light, with the excep
tion, perhaps, of Dickinson, which team
Is very uncertain this year. Unless
Dickinson should put up a good fight
the team will not have an opportunity
of really trying out their defense be
fore meeting Vanderbilt.
More eyes than there are In Atlanta
read these pages every day. For 10
cents you can place any want you may
have before them In our want columns,
and Friday and Saturday get a 40c box
of Wiley's Candy, Free
Pete Lister seems to be playing a
nice game for Cleveland these days at
flrst base. He la clown Just above the
pitcher In the batting order, however,
w hich does not seem to speak very well
for his batting.
Neal Ball Is working at second base
for the Highlanders. He'll make good
there, too. If he is left there long
enough to get used to It,
President Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn
club, picks the Cubs to win the world's
championship. Odd, Isn't It, that nil the
National moguls pick the Cubs and all
the American moguls can't see ahy-
thing to It but the American League
wlnnerT-whlchcver It may be? \
