16 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1907. SPORTING PAGE TECH-GEORGIA GAME HOLDS CENTER OP THE STAGE I EDITED BY i P. H. WHITING NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS By PERCY H. WHITING. If you had happened down to either of the stations Thurs day nifflit you could hardly have failed to notice the unusually large number of gentlemen wearjug corduroy suits, which bulged at the pockets; .nrrying odd-shaped leather carrying cases and leading handsome setters or pointers. And then it occurred to you that tho hunting season opened on November 1, and that these gentlemen were headed for the fields for a day's sport. It is a regrettable fact that those who have waited for the opening of the season will find many of the choicest eovies shot to pieces by those whose slight regard for stnto laws and tho laws of decency has allowed them to start afield before the season legally opened. But on tho whole the sport promises to be good. Ho ports from all sides bring the information that gnmo is plentiful. Evidently the pot huntors and the law-broakers have not been able to spoil this great sport—though ns aimed at present they are bound to arrive at that destination some time soon. Georgia hunters are out in force today and will bo for months now. , And to tho nunters who read this column a word: DON'T BE A GAME HOG. Shoot what you Want, thon stop. Observe a decent limit. Don't make a butcher out of yoursolf. Be a sportsman nt all times. Talto more credit to yourself for one hard allot well made tluin for a hundred quail slaughtered on tho ground. If you go out in pairs remember that tho other many is interested in killing birds, too.. And onoe again, and most important of all, lemembnr .to bo a sportsman. If you are, it’s something worth bragging about COLORED TEAM8 WILL PLAY FOR CHAMPIONSHIP. AB the football uoRoment In Atlanta Saturday will not ba confined to Ponoe DeLeon pork. Two oolorod trams wUl meet on the Atlanta Baptist Collese Held Saturday to play for the cham pionship of the middle South. Three two teams are Atlanta Baptist' Collese and Flak University, of Nashville, Trnn. Par the Inet two years the local team hae bold the championship and has only been scored on once, and that tlmo was lost year, when Fisk waa beaten by a soars of 18 to 6. TEN-MILE CHAMPIONSHIP. The ten-mtle national road cham pionship line been iillotted to that wall- known and up-to-date organisation, the Stroud Wheelman, of Philadelphia, which will run the men on November J at lliurlngton, N. J. The raco will be mado In ala trial luntn, three qualify ing In each for the three eeml-nnul lieefa, In which two riders will qualify In each for thd. final heat. Additional Interest In the event arleea from the fact that bealdee the National Cycling Aaaoclatlon championship medals, the Btrnuda have arranged to hang up a large list of merchnndlro prizes. TECH AND GEORGIA ARE READY FOR THE BIG BATTLE SATURDAY Georgia’s Line-up a Matter • of Profoundest Mystery. The Tech team Is ready for the Uni versity of Georgia. Tho local players are oa fit for the bitter struggle as care ful coaching and training can make them. • Right now It looks os though Coach Helsman would get all of hie men save Clyde Brown Into the game. This hefty tackle acquired a busted mitt In last Saturday's game and Is out for the present. In bla place will be Johnson, the big Bwede, - who plays In a regular oollege game with the Tech team for the flrat time on Saturday. This means that Tech U going ■gainst her ancient rival with practi cally her full strength. Johnson la pre sumably us good a tnan as Brown. At any rate he has the weight and knows some football. The back Held la slightly "stove up.” Fitzsimmons Is stlU minus that tooth he lost last Saturday; Sweet has a badly twisted neck, and. Luck Is lame and slightly wobbly on his pins. However, Coach Helsman has High tower, Adamson. Emerson. Jonaa and n couple of other good back-field men to slip in when needed and doesnot anticipate much trouble with his back As for os can be learned. Tech will accept any team that Oeorgla sends up. "We are against protests. said Coach Helsman. We have falth .In the. athletic authorities of other col leges and will play any teoih they vouch for." . This statement sets at rest all rumors In regard to protests and makes It evi dent that Tech will take on any team that Is brought up, and do her best. The Tech team had a roufhandtum hlo scrimmage with the scrubs T A“ r ‘ e Say afUrnoon at Ponce DeLeon. While tho general public woe barred fromthe affair, It waa open to the uaual atudanta and follower** of Tech and to the news- HERE IS GEORGIA ’5 BUNCH Here Is the list of men from which the University of Georgia team will ba picked far the game Saturday!

New York, Nov. 1.—Before the sun sets behind the skyscrapers of Jersey City tomorrow night what Is likely to be the greatest gridiron struggle in the history of football will have been play ed and a winner probably found. Twenty-two husky warriors repre senting Carlisle and Princeton will meet at the Polo grounds and the out come Is almost sure to decide the championship of the East. It will be the red man against the white man at the latter’s own game, yet at present everything favors the Indian. He rules a strong favorite and as good as 1 to 1 could be obtained on Broadway today, although there was plenty of Princeton money to be found whenever anybody offered such a flat tering price. It will be a case of the light and tricky Indian against the elow moving and heavy Tiger. But It must not be token for granted that Princeton Is slow—they are only slow when com pared to the fleet-footed Carlisle play ers. At all departments the Indians ap pear to have It on the Tigers. They are not as heavy, ’tls true, but according to those who Invented "the new foot ball” the lighter team has just os much chance as the heavier one. The In diana have a great line. They have a greater quarterback, their halfbacks are above the average, while the full- buck Is the greatest In the country. It Is Houser that Coach Roper and the undergraduates of Princeton fear more than any other man on the Car lisle eleven, and Houser and Mount Pleasant, the great quarterback, ore feared more than the other nine men. And there Is no reason why they should not hold this great team In the highest estimation. — HERE 1$ HOW WE SAVE YOU $5 TO $10 We’ll take your old stove, or range, or gas stove as first payment on one of our fine “New Eagle” Steel Ranges, at a fair valuation—say $5 or $10, or even more, according to worth.

Nov. 1.—Coach Whitney had his men go throufc* a short signal practice today and this will be the last work the team will do before the line up tomorrow. Nobody here knows exactly what men will play against Tech Saturday, as secret practice has far some time kept dawn any chances for the escape of Information In this respect. Coach Whitney hae kept religiously quiet as to the probability of beating Tech, and will offer his team Saturday exactly for what It Is worth. However, he very guardedly gives out the Infor mation that the game will be a first rate affair and worth going miles to see. One thing that Is worrying the coach and his men considerably la the fact that Martin Is laid up and may be un able to get In Saturday's game. Three days ago while scrimmaging he sus tained a painful Injury which has kept him pretty much under cover ever since. Martin's misfortune will weak en the team considerably and Georgia's adherents are walking about with se rious faces as a result. It Is probably well known Maclary's Injury will keep him out of the game for the rest of the sesson.

New York, Nov. 1.—Tho way the baseball situation struck me last night after tho National Association ad journed was that the w-ar-Ilke situation had not been settled by any means— merely postponed. Thero has been nothing granted to the American Association which origi nally caused tho smell of powder, not even by their own body. Tho whole question of higher elassl- flcatlon and Improved protection for layers have been passed up to the atlonal commission, the supreme court of baseball, and It Is therefore up to. or will bo up to, that august body to smooth down the ruffled feathers of the disgruntled ones—or to rub them the wrong way. The rebellious American Association Is still rebellious. Tho delegates of that organization cams here with threats and they go ntvay with threats. Th?y have not been made to show their hands, neither have they been put on record ns to exnctly what they want. Through the lbvel-hoadedness of Judge Kavanaugh. of Little Rock', pres.

G. Byrd will almoat certainly win the Atlanta Athletic Club golf cham pionship again. He took thle honor last year by winning the Trawlck tourna ment and Thursday he practically cinched the title by defoatlng W. J. Tllson, hie only dangeroue rival. It was a great match and for a while It looked as though the match were going to Tllson. However.

What the select few who attended the last hard scrimmage saw was encour aging to the Tech backers. The 'var sity ran over the scrubs In pretty fair shape, and except that Luck and Sweet had to pull out on aacount of Injuries, the showing was good. It was tough going on the Ponce De Leon Held. That Imported clay that was plied on the diamond to give a packing surface was baked hard aa bricks and the fact that there was practically no grass except on the Infield made the falls very hard. Every scrimmage sent up a stifling cloud of dust and every man who At tempted a flying tackle acquired a mouth and a couple of eyes full of dirt. However, Ponce DeLeon park U go ing to prove an Ideal place from the standpoint of the spectators. That Ideal baseball plant works equally well for football and everybody who goes to the game can be confident of seeing the contest front the best possible point. The stand 1* nearer the gridiron than at Tech, the Mats are more comfortable and the facilities for getting the crowds out to thapark and back are practically perfect. Unless appearances have us all to the bad, the gome Saturday will be wit nessed by an unusually large crowd. Probably It will look a little lost In the vastness of the Ponce DeLeon stands, but for nil that, It Is likely that more , people will see the two teams get «o- 1 gether tlmn ever witnessed a football game In Atlanta before, except on a h °Peopie who go to the game will And admission tickets for sale at the ueual place and reeerved seats on sale on the Inside of the Inclosure.

Moore le playing a steady game, but appears to have no chance for the cup. Thursday Moore defeated Phillips by a score of 1 up on 19 holes. The finals for the president's cup finds a pair of veteran and sterling golfers—T. B. Paine and Clarence An gler-facing each other. Between these two It is a tosa-up. Both are really first division golfers and are decidedly evenly matched. On past performances the latter has a shade the advantage. The only seml-flnal match played Thursday for the president's cup was the one In which Paine defeated S. C. Williams, 2 up. In the third flight, for the Arnold cup, Mlkel defeated Jenklne 2 up, and Illges defeated Hall 3 up and 2 to play. Another big batch, of qualifying scores waa turned In Thursday for the Trawlck cup and at that the bulk of the contestants In this handicap events have not played as yet. occurred and his loss Is keenly felt. Word's shoulder Is still weak and will probably prevent his return to the game this year. Word was the first man on the squad ahd considering the light weight of his teammates he would have made a valuable man. Nunn, the heavy guard. Is no longer seen on the field and the reason for hit absence le not known. Wray, the $25 pounder, Is at home, owing to Illness In his family, and will not be In the game. These two men would have filled up the team's average weight many pounds. Harman’s condition seems to be somewhat Improved, but he still visits the doctor dally and It Is not known whether he will be ueed Saturday. This;about completes the list of se rious Injuries. Tho other men are In good ehape and ready for the conflict. Rumor has It hero that Cofer, who has been practicing with the team, will positively not play against Tech. No reason Is assigned. The Georgia team leaves this after noon for Atlanta, where they will be quartered at the Majestic. A monster petition signed by nearly every man in college has been present ed to the faculty for the purpose of ob. tabling a holiday Saturday. In case It le granted approximately four hun dred students will be on hand to cheer the red and black. over proposed amendments to the na tional agreement.. The third major league that has been ■o much talked about lately can at last see Its way clear to go ahead and per fect Ite schemes. There Is no doubt In the world that certain American Association ofllclais are at the head of the 'proposed new league. People Interested In the pro posed new organization arc known to have been In Chlcugo, Cincinnati, Pitts, burg. Brooklyn and other dUes whin big league clubs are located and that they have met with more or less en couragement. The National Association made the mistake of Its life yesterday In not making the American Aaaoclatlon show Its hand. The whole question should have been settled then and there at yesterday's meeting. As the situation now stands the American Association can go along and arrange Its proposed circuit without Interruption. The Nt-. tlonal League Is to hold Its annual meeting here about the middle of De cember and the National commission Is to convene here at the same time. No# that Is the only time that the National Association committee appointed yes terday can meet the big leaguers to present their claims. That gives the American Association and "third-rail* fellows plenty of time to complete their plans for a new league. . Princeton.

The coaches have worked hard and looked for Improvement In the defen sive work this week, but the scrubs hammered the line for repeated gains. Two twenty-five minute halves were played. Th# 'varsity play was open, which Is taken as an Indication of the style to be employed against Carlisle. Several of the regulars. Including Mc Cormick. Booth and Wlster, were not In the game at all.
