REAL football weather and a real football game have ar rived in Atlanta together. For the first time this season the biting, snappy weather that foot ball players pine for has hit At lanta. it arrived last night si lently—and so did the Auburn players. This afternoon the Tech and Au burn teams will tangle in the first real game that the Tech \thletlc association has offered local fans this j ear. The championship angle of this gridiron situation lias been over looked. It is a fact, however, that neither team has yet been elim inated from the Southern Inter r. collegiate Athletic association championship. The Tech team, because of its light and inexperienced material, has* been looked down on by ev erybody. And yet it has managed to plug along and to win every game it has played, by a comfort able margin. It is in the hunt yet t —though, of course, it is not like- I , ly to be tonight. t However, a team like the Y> 1- lo" Jackets takes a world of beat /ing. The club is absolutely lack ing In weight and it is not any wonder for speed. But It is an ag gregation of clever, plucky players. And in every game this season the Jacket team has played ‘better than it knew bow." • Coach Heisman has solved some formations and some plays this year, the like of which were never seen before. It must be so, for be admits it himself- and Mr. Heis man isn't given to talking of his --coaching feats. • • ♦ nX the other hand, the Auburn team is coming along mighty Well. A lot of people Were misled by the fact that the Alabamans had a tough time beating Missis sippi Agricultural and Mechanical last Saturday. The truth is that the A. and M. team is a Tartar this year. The Auburn team was dub bing along and refusing to take tlie seriously, until one I of their scouts sent a hurry call, | warning Conch Donahue that if lie didn't look out he was going to run foul of tin worst beating that Au burn ever took. Thus warned. Donahue got busy and managed to squeak out with a victory. This week Auburnites have been practicing from early afternoon to dark. In most of the practice this week Coach Donahue has kept the ball in the hands of the varsity and has given special attention to pro- I teeting the man with the hall. This would seem to indicate that Au burn holds the Tech offense rather j V~' lightly, and that it Is determined to run up a big score. The recent practice has been en ouraging in that the line is charg ig better and the interference Is I leginning to find itself. The Au -Mourn defense has been good enough to hold the scrubs —due In part, no doubt, to the fact that Pitts lias been changed to defensive tackle and Lamb to defensive center. Christopher and Arnold have been showing steady improvement in advancing the ball reasonably, while Harris and Fain ett arc show - Ing up well at tin cuds Esslinger, In the line, is another new man who is steadily Improving, and is now one of the best defensite |.layers on the team. Thigpen, the big guard, is suffering with cold and is not playing up to his usual form, while Lochwood is play ing much bet ter, due to the fact that he has ■ worked off about 40 pounds of avor ■I dupois. ? . t its garni this afternoon w >„■ . . .(j at 2: J't .nd -ho.i b |F. th.oug ■ in good tiim Cnquestionably It will l>< a tin contest and beyond any doubt there will be a good attendance.

Nashville, tenn., Nov. 2.- Despite the number of inju ries and tile amount of ill ness of which the Vanderbilt team boasts at present, it Is favored to ilefeat Virginia today. It is not supposed that the Com modores will pile up a big score. The belief is that McGugin will open up with the best team lie can master., and that they will be in structed to pile up a score If they can. If \ irginia proves weak and the Commodores cun get a couple of touchdowns to the good, all the regulars will be pulled out and the rest of the game played with sub stitutes. if this proves practicable. If it doesn't and Virginia threat ens. the regulars will be pint back in the game and played as long as they last. McGugin's main idea is to get the men through in the best possible condition for the Harvard game, and for that reason he will not talo any unnecessary chances. The Vanderbilt team has been written up so often that nothing more is w orth the saying just now. This is not true of Virginia, how ever. The Charlottesville team, however, is worthy of a lot of space. Wit it Wood at center. Car ter and Jett at guards, and Redus, Woolfolk. Maiden and Blanchard to take charge of the tackles, Vir ginia will present the best set of forwards in a decade. Wood is undoubtedly one of the best centers in the country. He was unanimously chosen by sporting critics as All-South Atlantic center last year, and was faborably men tioned as All-American choice for the pivotal position. He was in jured early in the season and has not appeared much In the regular lineup, but he is completely recov ered now and will be ready to striki terror into the heart of his Commodore opponents. He 1s a stocky lad. a sure passer and a dangerous tackler. < a rter. who received his prellm narj training at Lawn ncevllle. N. 1 He was chosen during his pr. p schools days as All- American scholastic guard ami last yo.arwas Vl-South Atlantic choice. He Is H powerful man physically, quick to open largo holes and re liable in a crisis. Jett, who will work as Carter's partner at the other guard. Is a tower of strength. He played for three y ears at Hampden-Sy dney college, where he captained the team his last y car. Virginia will possibly show its greatest strength at tackles. Wool folk and Redus. who held down these positions last year, are both out for the team. But they will, in all probability, be ousted to the substitute squad. To all appear an .-s, two new men Malden and Blanchard han >mu bll»hed a St iidard <<i; Company nonopoly on these positions. Malden is the latg.-t and best i. poriional man on the team. I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATL It DAY, NOVEMBER 2. I’Hl. Here’s Albert Loeb, Tech’s Crack Center, Making a Diving Tackle I This Atlanta lad worked up from an inconspicuous scrub to one of the stars of the -Jacket team. Six feet and a half tall, tipping the scale at 210, he is a veritable giant. He is quick in starting and fearless in charging. This is his i first year at the university and, al though somewhat new at the game, he will develop into the best tackle that ever wore the Orange and Blue. Blanchard, although not so large as Maiden, is more experienced at the game. He played a star game for Colgate last year, and was men tioned by Walter Camp as his sec ond choice for All-American tickle. He entered the university tn Jan uary and was a member of the track team, winning fame as the I best amateur shot-putter ami ham- I mer-thrower in the South. He is | especially good in intercepting for ward passes and blocking punts. In I one game this season he blocked three punts, recovered the ball and raced 30 or more yards for three touchdowns. Ed Finlay, of Chattanooga, an old Sewanee star and All-South Atlan tic end for two years, will retain his position at right end. McDon ald, who played on the University of Mississippi team two years ago. and Harris, a last year's letter man. will hold down left end. That the line is one of the strong est Virginia lias ever presented, is evident. The backfield, although not comparing with the line in abil ity, is light but fast. Gooch, who worked as quarter on last year's team, will in all probability call signals in the Vanderbilt game. He is one of the best sprinters in the South, tall and rangy in build and a fine open-field runner. He runs flip team In excellent manner and inspires confidence in the players. Captain Todd, "the Hying Vir •ginian." will be the mainstay in the backfield. Although he weighs only 142, he is one of the best backs that ever represented a Southern institution. He is stocky, makes the lOb-yard dash in 10 fiat, and is a difficult man to tackle. Acree, a freshman. will work regularly at the other half posi tion. Although he is not as bril liant a play • ■ as Todd, lie is heav ier and a hotter line plunger. t ook, the Phillips Andover star, will be relied upon at full, lb is ■ especially adept at drop-kicking, w hich renders him dangerous as a point winner in the zone of 40 yards.

Greatest Football Play I Ever Saw—Written by Vaughn Blake By Vaughn Blake. (A member of one of the most famous football families of the South and all-Southem end for several years as a member of the Vanderbilt team.) \TANDERBILT lias never yet / beaten Michigan, although they have met the Wolver ines five times. On several of these occasions Yost's men were winners by only the narrowest of margins and they miy consider themselves lucky to still have a clean slate against the Commodores. Last year only a missed punt-out after a touchdown prevented the Gold and Black from claiming a tie with Michigan, and in 1906. after outrushing their opponents two to one in the first half. Vanderbilt lost in the last two minutes of play, when Johnny Garrells, on a fake punt, tan practically the entire length of the field at Ann Arbor to Vanderbilt's two-yard line, where lie was tackled from behind. He bucked over center for a touch down on the next play. This was one of the most spectacular plays 1 ever saw. After our return to Nashville the loss of the game was attributed to a "fluke" run. but T have often wondered if this play could Justly come under that term. It was one of the most perfectly timed plays T ever saw Michigan was lined up at the time within five yards of her own goal line dnfi Vanderbilt wit tak.n completely by smp'ise when a fake punt was made, in.-tea I of a kick. The play came at the psycho logical ; loment atid it was largely dlle to this fact that We failed to stop it. This gam. at Ann Abo•• was tn i second one Vanderbilt bad had with Michigan. the flrst in a 18 to 0 defeat in 190.". In the game of which I am writ ing. Left Halfback MeGoffln, of Michigan, hail kicks ' a He'd goal from our 35-yard line in the fl st half, after a fair Catch had been made. Bob Blake. Vanderbilt's right end. had also kicked one. aft er several attempts tn the first of the second half and the score stood 4 to 4 until the last few minutes of flay. Both team- seemed 'X n'. matched, with Vanderbilt doing most of the rushing in th" first half. Craig. Mauler and Dan Blake. Vaude'blit's backs, ill pulled off ong gains pound Michigan * ends and Mantel was unusually successful in hitting the Both t'.'ins hud m.idi sex. < ultempl- at field goals, doing so whenever they were in kicking distance, but all of them had proved unsuccess ful with thi‘ exception of the two named above. Vanderbilt had crowded Michi gan up against her own goal posts when the play was pulled off. Gar rolls dropped back to the goal line on a punt formation and the Van derbilt defense was caught nap ping. not dreaming that he would fail to kick when so near to his own goal. However, instead of kicking, lie started around our right end, be hind the most perfect interference I have ever seen. Yost has always had splendid interference on play s of this sort, and, through the aid of it, Garrells was able to sweep around end. Sammy Costen'. however, stood between him and the goal. Now. Costen was one of our suiest and fiercest tack! rs attd-had played a great game that day. It seemed sure that he wouli.l snag Garrells in mid-field, when Harry Hammond, the Michigan right end, who had cut across the field on the play, crashed into him. Sammy was downed just long enough to let the Michigan fullback get by. Garrells. who was a ttaek man and a member of the Olympic team, sprinted on toward the goal line with several Vanderbilt play ers (Utting across the field after him. According to tile newspaper reports of the game. Bob Blake overhauled him on Vanderbilt's two-yard line, tackling him from behind. How x, r. the , image had been ilniu and on the m*xt play Gatt'iiis bucked over tor a tottch l flown. This play decided tlix game and time wa- call'd .1 vey few S' 1 omis afterward. Garrells' run was vettainfy a Icil'bint one. but I b.'tiex, that 1 Hamm md, who blocked <'oaten, is d serving of just as much praise. \\ii ’ . :;t his . xe, r nt interference. Garic's would e rtainly have been snagged by Costen. Many called this run a "fluke," but it never imp • used me as such, and. if Vanderbilt had been lucky enough to haxo made u similai one. no one would havf> applied that term to the play.

Ancient football rivalry be tween Harvard and Prince ton was resumed here today on the gridiron battlefield. The Crimson and tliv Orange and Black on Sol diers field this afternoon is expect ed to go down in gridiron history as a classic. The weather was clear and cold, but the field was a trifle heavy from yesterday's rain, giving a slight advantage to Harvard. This advantage also came from the fact that Princeton has been relying to a big extent this season on the work of the fast backs whose run ning would naturally he hampered by a soggy field. Ha’ vard ruled a slight favorite in the early betting, odds of 10 to 9 be ing offered. Preparations were made to ac commodate a crowd of 40.000. Tile advance of out-of-town rooters be gan to arrive early In the morning. Every train brought Its human car go of looters: some shouting for Harvard and Others for Princeton. Although the town xvalt ablu’ze in Crimson flags, there was plenty of orang! an.l Black to be seen. Am! of noise t ere was no end nor halt. The Harvard team Is a Ibtly- In than the Tige ■ squad, but exp' I- professed belief that this ''.is n-emraliz d by the speed of tlie f Ineetonlans.

Both p tins I need their strongest men In the ■ field and tin- titanic struggle x\aV promised from the blowing of the whistb of the t eferee at 2 o'clock to tite end. Princeton has always been a dif ficult proposition for Harvard and of the fifteen games played since 1871 Harvard has .von only three. The university broke off gridiron relations in 1896 and the annual sessions wi'i'c not renewed until last year, when the Tigers beat the ''rims'.m by Hie -core of 8 to 6 YALE X RUN TEAM WINS. NEW HAVEN. CONN’..-Nov. 2. I Yale’- cross-country team defeat 1 i’ 111. ( ton ox. th. -xx mile com s- ATHENS, GA., Nov. 2.—What looms up like the bitterest game ever played between Georgia and Sewangg is set for this afternoon. There Is open feeling between the team.-. The trouble arose because of charges made by Athens newspa per correspondents in close touch with the team that Sewanee was harboring ringers arid other suspi cious characters. This charge angered the Se wanee officials, coaches and play er- and they came to Athens with blood in their eyes and open threats in their throats. They say they intend to give Georgia a trouncing that wiil be remembered. The Georgia men, on their side, are not paying much attention to charges of ringers. But for the last week they have been attending strictly- to their knitting work and losing no time. I "day finds Georgia desperate. The Athenians were trained up for the Vanderbilt game - and met overwhelming defeat. They then look on Alabama, determined to surpass the score Tech made against the Tuscaloosans—and fail ed. In fact, they were fortunate to win. Last Ditch For Georgia. Today finds the Red and Black cohorts in the last ditch. They must win today to have a chance for second place in the S. I. A. A. ranking and to redeem themselves for recent poor showings. Through the past Week Coach Cunningham has worked the Geor gia men as perhaps no Athens team was ever worked before. He has hammered all sorts of football into them, and he has made decided progress. I nfortunately. the morning of this ciitieal game finds G orgia in no good condition. McWhorter r.nd VX heatley, two backfield men whose brilliant work has kept Georgia in the hunt this year, are in bad trim Covington or Paddock will doubt less be sent into replace .McWhor ter and Thompson will play full back In Wheatley’s stead. The betting, which held Georgia the favorite ear]yt_in the week, has switched around and the Tigers a* e now picked to win by all the wager ing element and bet- at reasonable odds are searched for in vain by would-be Sewanee backers. Sewanee Looks Strong. Tt is beginning to break over the Southern football world that after all Sewanee has a corking good team this year. The Tigers wi re so wretchedly weak last year that everybody looked for another poor team this y ear. Howt ver, Har is Cope lias worked out. from a small field of candidates, a football team that is going to give them all an awful battle for second place honors in the South and which might pos sibly catch the Commodores over trained and stove up on Thanksgiv ing day and slip them another trimming. A corking big crowd is looked for at today's game. The Atlanta trains yesterday and today arrived jammed full of prospective specta tors and everybody In Athens and the surrounding country will turn out for the battle. NAVY ELEVEN DEFEATS WESTERN RESERVE, 7-0 ANNAPOLIS. MD., Nov. 2.—After having called off the football game scheduled to be played here today be tween Navy and Western Reserve of Cleveland, Ohio, as a mark of respect to the memory of Vice President Sher man. the naval academy authorities permitted a game to be played between the two teams yesterday afternoon. The game, won by the midshipmen 7 to il, was an ''unofficial” contest, and the members of the brigade were not permitted to cheer, applause being re stricted to handclapping. MERCER IN BATTLE WITH COLUMBIA TEAM TODAY VALDOSTA. GA.. Nov. 2.—Mercer mt. is Columbia here this and a hot contest is expected whe.n these two teams meet. Last year the game was a tie. th" score being 6 to 6. and later on in the season when anothei game was played between these two teams, the Lake City bunch won by the score of 6 to 5.
