1« THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1907. « sr ?%£ a \ HERE’S A RECORD OF THE DAY’S DOINGS IN SPORTLAND [ NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS The football outlook for the South Saturday is reasonably rosy. Eight games of some importance are due, of which the most entertaining promises to be the Tech-Sewanee game in At lanta. If Tech can make as good a showing against Sewanee as Au burn did and then do the right thing by Cleraaon on Thanksgiv ing day it may yet be possible to put the local bunch in third place in the ranking of S. I. A. A. teams. But to do as well as Auburn did is doing pretty well. The Alabama Polya held the Sewanee Tigers 12 to 6, and it is not rea sonable to suppose that Tech can do any such thing. Last Saturday, however, Tech uncorked the unexpected and the Yellow Jackets may have still another surprise in their sys tems. Another game set for Saturday is the Arkansas-Tnlane affair. This battle is without the pale of the S. I. A. A. and looks to be a case where “ringer” meets “ringer.” However, it ought to be a good game, with the chances decidedly in favor of the New Or. leans team. The Auburn-Mercer game is a practice affair for the former team, so is the Missisaippi-Vanderbilt game—for the Commodores. Clemson and Davidson ought to put tip a nice exhibition. It is pretty hard to tell what Davidson has by now, but maybe it’s a winner. However, our guess is Clemson. The following. Saturday, November 12, will see these games on the bill of fare: Alabama vs. Auburn at Birmingham. Clemson va. Georgia at Atlanta. Davidson vs. North Carolina A. and M. Mississippi vs. L. S. U. at Baton Rouge. Mississippi A. and M. vs. Tennessee at Memphis. North Carolina vs. Richmond at Chapel Hill. Sewanee vs. 8. W. P. U. at Sewanee. Tech vs. Vanderbilt University at Nashville. Virginia vs. Georgetown at Washington. That’s a line looking array. Of course the Atlanta interest centers on the Tech-Vanderbilt and Georgia-Clemson games. The Nashville affair is of eourso conceded to be strictly a runaway for the Commodores. Thoy are bound to win with all ease from the crippled Yellow Jackets. But for all that Tech will give the Nashville team a good game and far be it from any body—McGugin and the Vanderbilt players least of all—that the local team is going to prove any cinch. The Commodores re member to their sorrow that their pride was punctured Inst year when Tech scored on them and they will do well to escape a rep etition this year. The Georgia-Clemson game looks a bit like Georgia. Coach Whitney ought to have that team of his together by now. And there was never any doubting that individually it was the most marvellous collection of football humanity ever gathered in one Georgia arena. However, Glemson has no slouch of a team herself and might play some ball, ioo. Over in Alabama the state championship is on tap. And un doubtedly Auburn is “ it. ” It is reported everywhere that the Alabama team is not what it might be in regard to athletic puri ty, while Auburn seems to be above reproach this year. So of course our best wishes are with Auburn. I guess that s about all we know today. You can search us on that Virginia-Georgetown proposition. Sewanee eliminated the Virginia team from championship consideration the other day and Georgetown does not cut much figure in this neck of the woods. But local people will have a lot to think of in a football way November 16, and it is really one of the big football days of the year for Atlanta. THESE ARE THE BRITISH FIGHTERS, NOW IN AMERICA NMSIHHIMINHIIMHHHtHHIt ! EDITED BY jp. H. WHITING BIG TEAMS WORKING HARD Eastern and Northern Elev ens Getting Ready For / Saturday. SEWANEE EXPECTS A_CINCH But Will Spring Everything She Knows On Tech. i GEORGIA AND CLEMSON PLAT A SNAPPY GAME They treated u« to some -nappy foot, bell down In Ausueta Thursday st the fair around* when Georgia end Clem- son played a neat same that ended S to S In Oeorale'e favor. Of course nobody tried to make out that either collese put out her beat team. In fact, there wae an agreement that bealde tha captain of each team neither ehould use more than one man who had played regularly on the team In the pre. vtoue game. That barred nine Georgia man who figured against Tech and nine (Mention men who played against North Carolina So It waa practically Georgia's second 'varsity playing damson's second ‘vaf- •ity. Also, there could he no claim that Georgia wu S points better, than dam son, though that waa the way the score pointed. The member* of the Athena team admitted that. Tou have to hand It to the Oeorgia men. though. They played their luck to (he limit and thou two goals were pippin*. flcott mad* the first one and It wee a drop kick, a rare feat In these day* of goals from placement. The play waa called on only as a last resort. Tbs Oeorgia team had about 35 yard* to go and It was third down. The wind was quartering against the kick and It looked like a poor chance for a placement affair. Fleming, who acted as captain after Kyle Smith retired, decided that as a forlorn hope he would give Scott a chance at a drop kick. And Scott responded with the real good*. There was never any doubt about It. After the bell left his foot It breasted the puasllng wind and soared over the cross bar and between the goal poets as neatly as anything ever went. The placement kick was also good, though It was made from a position lust In front of the other goal and had the advantage of a favorable wind. Sam Hatcher kicked It and It went true as an arrow. Outside of these kicks neither team had an earthly chance, except that Clemaon made one futile effort at a placement kick. As for touchdown*, though, there was nothing doing. Probably Georgia gained the more distance, but the Red and Black per formers could not keep It up lung enough to get ecroe* Clemson'* line At straight old football Georgia had the edge. On trteka and forward passes It wae all Clemson. The South Carolina bunch knows a thing or two about forward pass. They have got a lew on* that does not gain more than len yards or so, but that 1s safe as a tackle over tackle piity. The ■nan who passes the bull throws It low and the man who catches It squats to ilo It. The play looked like an ac cident the first time It came off, but the bunch worked It several times and always the same way. It was a good deal such a pass as Auburn used with such good succeas— short and sure. The Cletnson bunch also had a trick or two that was good and they did not mind working them. But when It cam* to making tha dis tance by straight football they regret ted to report that It wae not In them. On the whole, It was a pretty good football game. The Georgia teem showed n lot better team play than did the bunch that appeared on Ponce DeLeon park last Saturday and the msn played with fine determination. The field on which the game was played was very dose to tho limit. It had many of the fine points of a hit of plowed ground and It was Impossible to do any fast running over It. Alsu, the dust was stilling. The handling of the crowd was also notably bad. The field was not eveV roped In and about half the afternoon waa spent In a foolish and futile effort to get the crowd back nnd keep It there. Here Is how the bunch stacked up against each other: Georgia. Clemson. Hatcher, le Hankel. II. McWhorter, It Boykin, It. Arrendale. Is Wheelock, |g. Nlckson. o Keddler, c.

Yesterday afternoon Coach Erwin put his men through a few minutes of fast signal practice, followed by a light acrimmagq with the second team. Some of the member* of the team are etui a little stiff after the heavy game with Virginia. “Tex' Stone, the big left tackle, le suffering from a badly brulned leg and was barely able to hobble out to practice. When the whistle, however, blows, Tex will be there to help Sewanee eat her Tech pie. Williams, at loft end. Is somewhat crippled, but will report for duty Saturday. The Hewanee-Tech game Is always one of the biggest In the South. Both Institutions generally produce strong teams, ami the winner of this game has a big "drag on" the Southern championship. Sewanee knows that Coach Heisman le a crafty teacher, and always regards him and his team as one of the most formidable gridiron foei. But Coach Erwin la not to be out- dona and he, too, has been scratching his head and formulating some foxy move*. A major part of the time at this afternoon's signal practice wo* devoted to the pollehlng over of a few new plays that will constitute the sur prise party at Saturday's performance at Ponce DeLeon. Last year It was said of Sewanee that she was master of the forward pass, but the suecsss with which the Tigers havs executed this play throughout this season en titles them to a monopoly ownership, Barrett Is never satisfied with less than a twenty-five yard pass, and someone Is usually there to receive It. Special attention has been given for the past three weeks to the practice of placement kicking. "Smiling'' Bill Evans, who holds down right tackle with his 196 pounds, hat a foot that knows how to drive a ball. In the Mississippi gams ha kicked ten out of eleven goals, and In practice has shone that he can kick “placements" as well. In case the game with Tech la close. Bill may try hla foot. The defense of the team haa been much Improved bj this week's practice and Coach Er win has a smile on his face. CASTRO SAYS HE HAS QUIT BALL FOR GOOD By CLIFFORD HORTON. After eleven years on the diamond, Louie Michael Caatro will quit baseball. Castro stated Friday morning that he had retired from baseball for good and that In 1903 he would be In the un dertaking business either for himself or would be connected with the firm he I* now with. If the assertion le true and If he really means It. the Atlanta Baseball Association will lots n valuable man. The Count la a good heady player and knows the game from A to Z. Castro haa been In baseball for eleven years. Ha ls one of the fastest man on his fett that ever performed on the Ponce DeLeon or the Piedmont park grounds. If he does leave the team Wilke*, the new Infielder, will probably get the Job, providing he makes good. But, then, he came from Waterloo. History of the Count. Louts Michael Caatro was born In ths United 8tates of Colombia, South Amsrlrs. in ths year of ISIS. He came to America when quite young and waa educated nt Manhattan College. New York city. While at Manhattan Col lege he learned the art of playing ball. Hie first professional engagement was with New London, Conn., and from there he went to Philadelphia, being drafted by the Quaker*. Ho was with j Philadelphia two years and then In 1993 he cast hie lot with the Baltimore ciub. In 1904 the Count waa with Portland In the Pacific Coast League. In 1905 he went to Kansas City In the Ameri can Association. He wss with Nash ville and Birmingham In 1900, Birm ingham winning the Southern League bunting that year. In 1007 he came to Atlanta and helped tha Crackers win the rag. He haa been on five pennant-winning teams—New London. Philadelphia (2), Birmingham and Atlanta—nnd on alt of them he has played his best and has made good records. If Castro sticks to his threat to retire the Atlanta club will lose one of the hardest working players that ever played on tha Atlanta diamond. Castro was one of the most popular men on the Atlanta team last year and the Atlanta fans alncsrety Hope he will be In his old position at shortstop when the whistle Is blown for tha,opening ol the baseball saaton of 1001. AUGUSTA TEAM ANNUAL GAME The Georgla-Clemaon game Is going to be an annual affair In Augusta here, after. The athletic authorities of both teams have decided that Augusta la a proper half-way point and will pull off their gomes there for the next lew years at least. The game Thursday was a profitable one for both organisations, and there Is no doubt but that first-class football will always be a good paying proposi tion In that burg, especially during fair week. - HEISMAN EXPECTS TO HOLD ’EM Is Trying to Patch Up Team Which Will Bother Tigers. The finishing .touches will be put on the reorganised Tech squad Friday afternoon and after they are applied Coach Heisman will be ready to take o chance that his bunch will make a fair showing against the Sewanee team In the gam* Bstunlay.afternoon. The local aquan has no chance of besting Sewanee. but every man from the coach down to the lowliest fresh man-scrub believes that the Yellow New Haven. Conn., Nov. 3.—The Mg •tuike-up of the Yale football tssm yr»- terday resulted practically la s new eleven for the Ells. It looka as If the Yale eleren which will flnleb the season «in niff, rent from the one whleb bss played an unsuc cessful game thus fur. end the coaches be lters It will be s much stronger team. Bryde, who. after ploying guard in such a way as to make him sure of the all- American team, was shifted to left end, and In that position became Yale's heat end. If* has now l>een moved again to bait bark, In order to have a heavy back. In that position he plays a fast game, breaking through the strong second eleven line for toug gains. Cooney wss sent bark to cen ter on the 'varsity, wbsr# he was at ths beginning of the season. Foster, who. with Cooney, hns been playing left gnard, waa put lu hla old position st left tackle, suc ceeding Falge, who waa In the scrimmage for s few minutes. Brown, who bss hero playing at left tackle, went In at left guard. H. Jones and Aleott were the first eleven ends, and Goeliel and Boggs ths right guards. Coy. for the first Urns In two works, was In the scrimmage. He has lieen suffering from a bed knee, and baa It baked eTery day. Jacket! can hold the Tigers pretty well nnd keep the "Terrible Tennesseans" from scoring over a thousand points. Just the line-up which will be used le a matter of doubt, but probably Snyder will be at center. Smith nnd Henderson nt guard#. Davis and Brown tackles, Hill and Jones or Wilcox ends. Hightower quarterback. Sweet and Fltxslmmon* halve* and Johnson full- back. This Is a long ways from being ths team that we thought, some five or six weeks ago, would be turned out to face the Tiger*. But for all that. It Is likely to moke a fair showing and anyhow It will do Its best. If the Yellow Jackets can hold tha Tiger* to three touchdown* they will be doing well. And it look* now a* though they could accomplish the feat. Assistant Coach Hall, who has seen the Sewanee team play twice this year, estimate* that the Tiger* will do well to run up three touchdowns on the local players. “Emmons for Qua.ity” About Good Clothes for Men VANDY SUBS AND SCRUBS GETTING LOTS OF PRACTICE Mooney— 27-4. andnolnt, th# j waa a great aaccaaa. aa Mooney fiirnL atlff opposition moat of the time. nn«l inch men na Potta. llall nnd Morrison, who are 'varatty aubf. received more actual «spe- IHence than during all of the season up to date, roach McOugln made suggestions dur ing the halves to the Moonev team, and they seemed well satisfied.

S. B. PLAYS B. H. S. TEAM Stone Mountain, Ga., Nov. 3.—Much Interest I* manifested st the Mountain over the game to be plsyeil here Friday afternoon between U. 8. B. and Boys’ Hlfih School of Atlanta. Since their victory over Tech Bcrubs last Saturday, the Mountain boys have been down hard st work In preparation for this contest. On account of Injuries the line-up will be slightly different from that which faced the Scrubs. The High School usually has a speedy aggregation and one that plays the game for alt (list there Is In It. As a rule, too, their game Is scrupulously clean. When these teams met lost year 17. S.
