THK ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1911.
Some Big Football Games Will Be Played
On American Gridirons Saturday Afternoon
GEORGIAN’S DOUBLE PA(
University of Georgia Hopefuls
Take on Beavers' Stone
Mountain Team Today.
It wu announced that Princeton
would be deprived of two of the flret
airing men. Farr waa unable to play,
owing to lnjurtee, and Christlo will
take hie place at quarter. Wright, the
Tlgere' best right end. was out of the
g ame, and the position will be tilled
y Dunlap.
Harvard arrived here by special train
from New York this morning—the var.
ally and freshman teams with cub-
stltutes comprising a total of 64 play
ers. Accompanying the teams were
sixteen coaches and six managers.
Many undergraduates were alto on the
train, and about 1,000 mors arrived
later In the morning. The crimson
team appeared to be In excellent con
dition.
It was otBclally stated that Quarter
back Potter, who baet ben out of prac-
tic* for a week because of Injuries,
would start the game.
The line-up of both teams was given
oat as follows:
Harvard: O'Brien, left end: Hitch
cock, left tackle; Leslie, left guard:
Storer, center: Fisher, right guard:
Gardner, right tackle; Smith, right
end; Wendell, right half back; Rey
nolds, left half back; Poultur, quar
terback; Huntington, full back.
Princeton: White, left end: Hart,
left tackle: Wilson, left guard; Blue,
center! Brown, right guard; Vaughn,
right tackle; Dunlap, right ond; Hub-
dleton, right half; Baker, lert half
back; Christie, quarterback; Dewitt.

team that both have met was Holy

NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
It him probably occurred to the
Atlanta Prep League Athletic as
sociation that the scheme of a
' football league is a ridiculous
one.
In the first place, only three
teams would play thru a season
In a league of that kind. Marist
college does not play football.
Tech High school could not get
out a team. And that left only
Q. M. A., Boys' High school and
Peacock.
It has long been known that
football isn’t a game that adapts
itself to play thru a league sea
son. The experiment was mode
years ago, and the failure waa
suggestive.
The local prep association
would do well to leave football
leagues alone. If the individual
teams want to play, that’s well
nnd good. - But it is ridiculous
to talk of a aerie* of games for a
championship.
We still beliove, as we long
have, that the Prep longno ought
to .take up soccer football ns its
fall game. Certainly it will never
do anything with American col
lege football.
The report coming from New
York that tho big league clubs
will close their season earlier
next year seems almost too good
to be believable. It doesn’t make
any difference to any of us per'
sonally, but it does seem that the
oldest of leagues and the one
which has had the most time to
acquire sense by experience
should be the one which pulled
off the most ridiculously drawn
out of seasons. .
A lot of tho advocates of a
long season got their medicine
this year—Charley Murphy for'
one. We happened to see the
last game of the season in Chi
cago—a game in which tho Pitts
burg Pirates met the Cubs. Both
teams were way up in the rnce,
Moreover, it was some kind of a
holiday. AIbo it was a nice, warm
day. Taking all tho conditions
into consideration, one might
have supposed that there would
have been a pretty fair crowd
out. But there wasn’t. The
gang that gathered to bid the
Cubs good-bye reminded one of
the howling mob that used to
turn out at Shreveport on a dull
Monday afternoon.
These things teach their les
son, and the moguls aro learning
what it seoms ns tho their intel
ligence should have told them—
Harvard Should Beat Tigers,
But Watch Out For Struggle
Prlnoeton, N. J., Nov. 4.—Tho weath-
«r broko clear and cold today for the
great contest marking the resumption
of football relaUonehlp betweon Har
vard and Prlncston after a lapse of
fifteen years.
The horde of gridiron enthusiasts
which began to arrive yesterday aft
ernoon and which hours before the
game today numbered 18.000. began
to stream toward Princeton field long
before the gates were opened. The big
stands soon assumed a gala appear
ance, the Harvard cohorts waving their
crimson banners from owe side of tbs
field while orange and Meek was oa tbs
other. The "rah. rah. rah" of Har
vard and the sharp "kOs boons ah" of
the Tigers grew la «ilsrai. con
stantly Increasing as Iho sinsitiis of
both teams poured hu tho Sold.
Harvard was a strong 1 favorite, hot
the Princeton followers worn, far from
disheartened, and they hot profusely
at 8 to 8. Harvard has not been beaten
this year, and Brown Is tbs only team
that has gens across tbs crimson goal
line. The Tigers have rolled up larger
scores then the crimson, tallying 181
points to their opponents’ six In seven

that long seasons are not wanted
by tho fans. And surely what
the fans do not want isn’t worth
trying to inflict on them.
Everybody who has the legs
and the wind to stand a cross
country run ought to get in the
Atlanta Athletic club’s run
around Atlanta, which is set for
Thanksgiving morning.
Wo ought to have more of
this cross-country running in At'
lanta. It is an ideal winter sport
for this section of the country,
and we look forward to the
time wheft there will be real
cross-country affairs, at a dis
tance of four or five miles, right
thru' the open fields, across
brooks, up hills, down ’em
again, over ditches—a real, old-
fashioned cross-country.
It’s grand sport, and it devel
ops the men who take part in
it—gives them endurance, a
larger lung capacity and consid
erably more grim determination.
The coming run, if successful,
will lead to others. It is up to
all long-winded, strong-legged
youngsters to get in tho event.
It is open to all. A. A. U. regis
tration is the only qualification
necessary.
TWO FAMOUS PRINCETON PLAYERS
FRESHMEN VS.
U. S. B. BUNCH
Affiant, Ga„ Nov. 4.—Tha Stone
Mountain football team came to Athena
today to play the aeorgla freshman
team, while the Georgia varsity wao
playing Vandy In Nashville.
Most of the bruises from the Tech
scrubs game have disappeared and tho
Stone Mountain team will be In good
condition for the same. The whole
Squad worked hard for this trip and as
a result It would not be surprising to
find one or two new face* In the line
up Saturday.
Among the new men who have been
showing up well recently are Gray and
Campbell at ends, Patterson and Cap
tain Blaslngame In the backfleld and
Wyatt at quarterback. Graves will, in,
all probability, replace McKinnon at
fullback, on account of hie superior
speed.
Stone Mountain will rely largely on
bpen formations and a auperlor knowl
edge of the game. The preps realise
that In the freshmen they will have
worthy foe*.

INNIS BROWN WRITES OF FOOTBALL
By a queer Coincidence Saturday will
have as one of the leading features of
tho football program both East and
South a game between teame that have
not met for several sasons.
An the East the newly re-establiahd
relations will he between Harvard and
Princeton, while In the South Vander
bilt and Georgia will meet again for the
fist time In Severn! years. And a»
befits euch meetings .both teams in
each contest will take the Aeld with
records of straight victories behind
them tor the season, which naturally
lead! to a safe prediction that some fur

other hand, has shown the strength of

the elite of the Eaet, and with- Cap
tain Eddie Hart In the game Saturday,
the Harvard delegation doubtless real
ises that It has a strenuous day's work
cut for It.
Vsndsrbilt Should Win.
The game between Georgia nnd Van-
derbtlt should prove one of the real
features of the Southern eeaton. The
Commodores will doubtless win the
gome, or at least should win It on past
form. Thay have one of the fastest
backflelds, If not the fastest, that ever
represented the Gold and Block. This
field is composed, with the exception
of one man, of men who have had
lots of experience, at least two of them
bearing wide reputations In this sec
tion for stellar performances. In addi
tion to this, they have had proper drill-
Ing and coaching to develop good teem
work and Interference. Furthermore,
they will work behind a line that has
shown ability to gtvo them full op
portunity against the beet In the coun
try.
Georgia, on the other hand, provid
ed Kid Woodruff gets In the game, will
show probably the strongest compe
tition that the Commodore pair of
backfleld stare will have for first hon
ors this season. In McWhorter and
Woftdruff. McWhorter has the weight
on either of the Vanderbilt pair, Mor

that he Is fast and a hard man to

However, Tech should be able to off

well as other features of Auburn's
ground-gaining efforts, thru the fast
work of Cook In returning punte, and
the speedy running of Roy Goree In
plays around the end. It Is no dispar

the Mltslgslnplnng have a team that
will make the beat In tho South go
strong to win. They turned up laat

touted as repeaters. However, Mercor
