| NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS 1
The football engagements of Saturday let in a little illumi
nation on th,e gridiron situation.
After Saturday’s set-tos we are prepared to opine several
things, among them these.-
That Tech is all there with a football team that can play
when urged—all reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
That Vanderbilt is better than we (as a Vanderbilt man)
dared to hope.
That the Navy’s reputation has a dent in it that a battery of
13-inch guns could not have put there.
That Georgia is going to lose several games this year because
of a lack of weight.
That Tennessee is strong enough to make it decidedly inter
esting for Tech on Saturday.
That Gordon has not lost her gameness.
All the Southland is proud of Vanderbilt’s showing at An
napolis. Handicapped by rank work on the part of the officials,
tired after a long trip, afflicted by near-stage-fright as a result of
her first appearance in the East, and with practically a new team,
Vanderbilt held a strong Eastern eleven to a tie.
If it hadn’t been for two fumbles—but what’s the uset On
Saturday morning we agreed to be delighted if Vanderbilt was
not beaten worse than 18 to 0.
One thing we want to say though, when Michigan comes
South they had better look out
The Tech-Dahlonega game gave about the expected "line” on
Tech and Georgia.
It seems evident that Tech had no notion of running up a big
score on the North Georgia boys Saturday.
The tenm went r.ito tho game thinking that they had a cinch.
Nobody tried to play much. The line left it to the interference to
look out for the man with the ball and the interference left it to
the runner. And, as usually happens in such cases, the runner
didn't care to bother much if there was nobody to run behind.
It was awful football. The Dahlonega meu filtered through
the Tech line, circled the ends, smashed up the Tech interference
—on the rare occasions when there was any—and raised Billy gen
erally with Heisman’s widely-advertised machine.
Of course Tech ran up 17 points during the first half, but
against a team that wns outclassed in age, weight, training, ex
perience, condiiion and knowledge of football it was a sorry exhi
bition.
We are informed by witnesses that what Coach Heisman told
his team between the halves was something caustic and cutting.
On his recommendation as then set forth the best of them could
not have drawn a trial on the High School third eleven.
Thus encouraged the Tech tenm went in and played real foot
ball in the second half, rolling up 53 points.
Tho Tech team gets its first real college work-out Saturday
with Tennessee and unless there, is a vast ‘improvement before
next Saturday, the Yellow Jackets will have to fly some to avoid
extermination.
Georgia takes on an easy game next Saturday—Mercer—and
shonld be in fine shape for the Alabama game the following Sat
urday.
Some few other contests for next Saturday—and the dope, if
any, follow: ,. ... 1
Arkansas vs. St. Lonis University."
I Auburn vs. Sewanee—the Tennessee team lyins sure by a
large majority.
Mississippi A. and M. vs. Southwestern Baptist -University—
the former easily.
North Carolina vs. William and Mary.
S. W. P. U. vs. Southern Kentucky College,
Virginia vs. V. M. I.—n pippin game, nil , right, whichever
wins.
Really the only big game next Satnrday among S. I. A. A.
colleges is to be played in Atlanta—and it will bn n "rouser.”

SEWANEE TEAM SHOWING
IMPROVEMENT THESE DAYS
Bewanee, Tenn., Oct. 14.—Tho only
way to Judge a football team la by the
way It playa. And measured by that
atandard Sewanee w-aa not found want
ing In the game agatn.t Mlaalaalppt A.
ft M. here Thursday. It Is history now
but the talk of the way the Tigers
showed up Is still humming round the
mountain.
Sewanee won the game it to 0 and
only once did A. ft M. get a chance
to score.
Sewanee lost the ball on a fumble
and the Mississippi fullback dropped
back for a 15-yard try at a Held goal.
He made a beautiful kick, but tho
ball paased about a foot to the right
of the goal, and Mississippi had lost
her only chance to ecore.
The Sewanee lade have been work
ing hard this past week, nnd they
showed up to a good advantage Thurs
day.
Shipp, the famous half of -06 repu
tation, waa a tough proposition for the
Mississippi bunch, and behind beauti
ful Interference he circled the ends for
long gains. He haa an arm that only
the swiftest tacklers can get under.
Markley, as left half, waa another star
of the game. He Is probably the most
consistent player on the team. He can
always be rountod upon for a' few
yurds, and -runs an excellent Interfer
ence. Captain llarrett was on the side
lines. He wan substituted at full by
a new man, Lanier, who Is rather light,
but plays the position well.
In the line Stone, the '06 All-South
ern tackle, was the most prominent.
He Is a great player, nnd crossed the
lino for the first touchdown by
tnckle-'round-tackle play. During the
second half he scored again for Se
wanee. The two new men In the line,
Faulkenberry, at right guard, and BUI
Evans, at right tackle, are both heavy
men of prop, school reputations. They
are showing up well In the scrim
mages. ,
It Is evident from the ease with
which Sewanee gained In Thuraday's
game that the men ore playing more
as a team. Erwin Is rough on Individ
ual stars, and Is aiming at a unity In
his machine that will result. It tr
hoped by Sewanee men, In a chant
plon team.
The game with Georgia Tech In At
lanta, November 9th, Is one of the big.
Best games on Sewanee's heavy ached,
ule. Sewanee playa University of Vlr-
glnla on November 1, and the game
the following week at Tech Flats will
prove good --dope" on the Southern
championship.
Tennessee Is Now Preparing
Her Heavyweights For Tech
Special to The Georgian.
Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 14.—The Uni
versity of Tennessee team Is home aft
er Its game with Georgia and has set
tled down to prepare for Us strenuous
engagement with the Georgia Tech ag
gregation next Saturday.
Coach Levene realises that he has
his work cut out for him and will go at
It with a will. He hopes to spring
something new- on the Tech bunch In
the way of plays, formations and tricks.
Both he and Coach Heisman learned
their football at Pennsylvania, but
Coach Levene's learning Is of recent
vintage, while Coach Heisman has been
away from "Penney" so long that he
has practically developed a new gome
of his own.
Thennessee will send a team against
Tech which is a well rounded aggrega
tion physically.
Leach and Johnson, Tennessee's ends,
weigh 165 and 160 pounds, respectively,
and are track men with good records.
Word, at left tackle, weighs 195 and
Is In better condition than at any time
during his football career. Walters,
who Is holding down right tackle,
played the same position last season,
and was unusually strong on defense.
Dougherty, at guard. Is also on old
man, and is a few pounds heavier than
he was In 1906. He weighs 186.
Dlnges. 180, the left guard, la fast
and heady with his weight, und ts
being called "Stonewall" by his friends.
Cody, last year’s second team's cen
ter, made good this year nnd puts every
ounce of his 157 pounds Into fight In
every play. ..
Loucks Is playing a steadier game
than ever at quarter, and has devsl-
oped Into a good ground gainer.
Peevy, the big 1906 tackle. Is sta
tioned behind the line, where he Is do
ing more execution than ever.
The Chattanooga High School sent a
big half to Tennessee—McCollum by
name—and he made good the first week.
Ills weight Is 170.
West, also a Chattanoogan. Is at full,
where he has been plowing holes
through the seconds for days.
Taken altogether, Tennessee has •
fast, experienced and weighty team.
To all Southern football cranks the
greatest football game of Saturday was
that between the Navy and Vanderbilt,
which resulted In a 6 to 6 score. This
was virtually a victory for Vanderbilt.
According to all the dope, Vanderbilt
would have won If she had received a
square deal from the officials.
In Orantland Rice’s special to The
Tennessean, he says:
The officials selected by the Annap
olis contingent were awful. No wonder
the Navy crowd refused to allow Van
derbilt the right to one official out of
three: no wonder midshipmen officials
went back on their contract and barred
Bradley Kalker from the playing field
ns referee. Without any doubt the
work of Woodruff and Tyler should go
1 down In history as the most saffron
colored exhibition ever witnessed on
any field. Time and again Vanderbilt
| was penalised without excuse. Time
j and again fouls committed by the Navy
were overlooked. "Never In all my
I football career have 1 seen a' team as
I badly treated or as unfairly penalised
as Vanderbilt was today,” stated Dan
McGugln after the game, nnd Dan Isn't
the kind of man that ever squeals un
less he has one coming good and hard.
"It was worse than outrageous,” raged
the famous Wolverine coach up and
down the lines after the contest had
ended. "It simply made me sick at
heart to see my men smash through
them nnd batter their way toward the
goal, only to be called back without
any cause.”
Hare are the opinions of some of
the notables on the game:
By Coach McGugln.
"Vou con say for me that we should
have won by two touchdowns, and even
ut that we did not nearly play up to
our form, In either half. The work of
the officials was the most outrageous
thing I have seen In my entire career.
They were the most prejudiced and
partisan lot of - Incompetents 1 ever
hope to meet. Twice they ruled against
us at critical stages of the gutne which
kept us from scoring when the rules
showed we were right, and I offered to
prove It, but wns given no chance.
With fair officials we should have won
easily.
•i am confledent that we have 30
per cent the better team, and a team
11 know now, will come pretty near
lifting Michigan's scalp. I consider
it a victory, and I cannot say enough
for every man on my team. We were
caught off guard early in the game
when costly fumbles and two rank pen
alties gave them a chance to score, but
after that there waa nothing else to
It but Vanderbilt. In Campbell 1 know
now, that Vanderbilt has a new star,
one that will rank with the best the
South has ever known. But all my men
did good work, magnificent work, and
we are going to come pretty near going
through tho schedule without a defeat.
We have a team that will rank with
the best in America, barring none. 1
consider that Vanderbilt has won a
great vietory.
"Here Is a summary of the game
which shows how far Vanderbilt out
classed her confident rival. In the
first -half the Navy rushed the ball 75
yards,. while Vanderbilt ripped off 60.
In the second halt Vanderbilt rushed
the ball 310 yards against 45 for her
opponents. Vanderbilt was penalised
115 yards during the tame against 30
yards for the Navy, a net loss of 105
yards, due to the officials. Vanderbilt
finished with every man In the game
Hnd every number of the orlglnnl line
up In fine shape. The Navy finished
with four men badly used up and six
substitutes In the game, all put In
because the oglnlnal line-up was In no
shape to continue and not for any trial
of their work."
BY CAPTAIN DOUGLAS.
"This was the bitterest pill I ever had
to swallow. I am frank to say with the
team we had I expected to win by a big
score. We were In excellent shape and
have no excuses to offer, but I had no
Idea Vanderbilt hod any such team.
Why. this ts the greatest team the'Navy
ever had, a team I am confident wlil
beat Harvard and West Point, so you
can figure how I feel. After playing on
teams that have beaten Princeton, West
Point and others, it Is an awful Jolt to
feel we were lucky to tie Vanderbilt. I
am willing to admit, however, that they
have a great football team, and one that
HI rank with the best In America."
BY CAPTAIN BLAKE.
"We should have won. If ever a tenm
outplayed nnother Vanderbilt outplayed
the Navy today. We were greatly
handicapped by the work of the officials
who did not follow us up on our fast
line-ups, and this kept us guessing.
I nm more than pleased with the re
sult. as I know we outplayed them at
every point In the last half, after we
had hit our true stride. We finished
fresh and they were in bad shape,
consider that we have won a big vic
tory."
BY PAUL DA8HIEL.
(Chairman Intercollegiate Football
Committee.)
Vanderbilt has a wonderful team. Al
though we were confident of winning,
all expected a hard game. We are now-
well convinced that football ae played
by Southern teams Is fast. Vanderbilt
played a remarkably clean game,- and 1
hope they will be Included In the Navy's
schedule next year. ,
BY GEORGE WOODRUFF.
(Referee. Former Pennsylvania coach,
who Invented tho "Guard's Back.")
George Woodruff said: “Vanderbilt
seemed to grow stronger, as the game
progressed. Never have I seen a team
line up so fast and run plays so quickly
os they did during tho close of the
game. A great team, and the South
certainly has won a place In the foot
ball arena now. The Navy was simply
badly outplayed all during the second
half."
BY COACH ROCKWELL.
‘Vanderbilt has a great team end It
displayed remarkable football skill. The
Navy played much the best ball all dur
ing the first half, but Could not with
stand (he rushes of the Vnn's machine
In the second half, which seemed to
grow stronger as the game progressed.
Vanderbilt played a very clean game,
and we have no kick coming. We were
shown up In the second session.”
BY GOVERNOR PATTERSON.
(Of Tennessee.)
I am exceedingly pleased to learn of
the team's splendid success," said the
governor, "and nm sure that they de
serve many compliments. Vanderbilt,
you know, Is my alma mater, and I am
always deeply Interested In Its achieve
ments."
BILL SMITH IS HOME;
WILL DRAFTMANYMEN
Bill Smith has returned to Atlanta,
bringing with him the promise that he
Is planning to draft a lot of good play,
ers.
Who these players are Is not for pub
lication. For Bill has spent a lot of

ing In class A, and Bill Smith and
every other class A manager gets In
his drafts at that time. As soon as
they are sorted otu and a coin tossrl
to see who gets the players who were
drafted by two or more manage™ the
announcement will come from national
association headquarters.
Bill Smith Is well satisfied with his
trip and will now settle down t6,th«
pleasant task of getting Ponce DeLeon
park ready for the big opening and flag
raising next spring.
GORDON PLAYED PLUCKILY
AGAINST FAST AUBURNITES
TECH MAKES LARGEST SCORE OF YEAR
AGAINST NORTH GEORGIA AGGREGATION
The modest score of 70 to 0—the
largest run-up by any college team In
America this year—was all that Tech
rolled up against the North Georgia
Agricultural College tenm here Satur
day afternoon. A little first-class play
ing In the first half would have made It
a "century run.”
The agriculturists—known generally
as Dahlonega—were at every possible
disadvantage. Three of the men on
the team had not seen a game of foot
ball before last Saturday, und only n
few were really experienced men. They
were outweighed very considerably, and
Tech, with her score of substitutes, was
able to put In a fresh man In nlmost
every position and In several cases the
new men played more brilliantly than
the performers .whose places they took.
In the first half Tech’s playing was
decidedly ragged. A fumbled kick-off
by Dahlonega gave the Yellow Jackets
a touchdown within a minute of the
start. After that It was hard scratch
ing. And only 17 points were rolled
up In the first half. Now, as Georgia
hnd scored 57 against Dahlonega tho
previous Saturday, this made the fig
ures look bad for Tech.
Coach Heisman worked out his vo
cabulary of respecttble Invective In ex
ecutive session with the team between
the halves, and In the second half the
Yellow Jackets went In and played real
ball. They simply ran away from Dah
lonega, and the game was a farce. Th*
North Georgians played plucklly, but
they didn’t have a chance.

Special to The Georgian.
Auburn. Ga.. Oct. 14.—In an uneven
game of football here Saturday Auburn
won an eaay victory over Gordon Insti
tute of Barnesvllle, On., the final score
being 34 to 0.
Auburn's first touchdown came early
In the first half on a series of end runs
by Sparkman and Reynolds and cross
bucks by Hughes. This was quickly
followed by another touchdown for Au
burn. Reynolds falling to kick goal,
making the score, Auburn 11, Gor
don 0.
The visitors then settled down and
began to play snappy ball, holding AUr
burn for downs frequently and In turn
making their distance In advancing the
ball. On the last down of this half
Moofe, the stocky fullback, who had
been playing a great game on the of
fense and defense, was Injured and re
tired from the game. This seemed to
demoralise the visitors greatly, for
when they returned for the second half
they lacked the aggressiveness and
ginger which had characterised their
playing during the latter part on the
first hnlf, when they kept'the bnll safe
ly In Auburn's territory.
Auburn received the kick at the be
ginning of the second half and In a few
minutes had planted the ball behind
Gordon's goal line. It was easy after
this, and Coach Klmholx began run
ning In his fresh men, McCoy taking
Hughes' place at full and Harris taking
Sparkman's position at right half.
These men had no trouble In advancing
the ball for long distance on the preps,
who were showing the effects of the
fierce effort they had made In the first
half.
About five minutes before the end
Coach Klmholx put In his entire second
team and they came within five yards
of scoring. On the other hand, the Gor
don boys pushed them back to their
own 30-yard line and were rapidly
gaining on the recruits when time was
called. Many were of the opinion that
Gordon would have scored on the team
that about two evenings a week either
beats the 'varsity team or holds It noth
ing to nothing If the half had been a
little longer.
It waa seen When the visitors first
came on the field that the terrific sched
ule which they are being forced to play
was having Its effect on them, for the j
absence of Captain "Tubby" Proul, I
whose great playing here last season
held Auburn to such a low score against
the prepa, was keenly felt by the cadets.
Many of the spectators remembered
his defensive playing as the feature of
lost year's game and, regretted not see.
Ing him again In the line-up.
For Auburn Hughes and McCnv did
great work at full, while Harris, Spark
man and Reynolds time nnd again
clipped off nice gains around ends.
Smith, the little,quarter of the visi
tors, was easily the star of the game,
outpunttng Reynolds on every ex
change. Cockran and Blnton were con
spicuous at ends, often donning the
runner back of the line. Moore played
well at full until he retired with a
sprained Anger.
The line-up:
Auburn, Gordon.
Jones C Peebles
