Nov. 9. -Several of the University of Georgia football warriors left thia morning for Atlanta to witness the annual gridiron struggle between Tech and Sewanee. The local play ers will watch the game closely so as to get a line on the real strength of the Yellow Jackets, as they fig ure that Coach Heisman will turn loose everything in his category in an effort to get the decision over the Tigers. As regards the Tech game, Geor gia supporters believe that the Red and Black will win by a narrow margin and not by a big score, as has been predicted by many of the "wise ones.” The prowess of one J. Heisman is too well known and commands too much respect in the»< quarters and for this reason alone a small score is expected. Georgia has at last struck its stride, as is manifested by the work of the players in the Sewanee and Clemson games. The playing strength of the line has Increased 40 per eegtt within the past two weeks and the interference is now all that could be asked for. Through a series of unfortunate injuries, Coach Cunningham has unearthed a wonderful tackle in Henderson, tn the Sewanee game Harrell was laid up for repairs, and Wood, a substitute, was sent into the game. Wood’s work did not satisfy Cunningham, who sent Henderson to the rescue. The tac kle position was entirely new to him. but the great game he put up will long be remembered by all who witnessed the contest He also did magnificent work in the Clemson game, and as a result will be re tained at tackle for the remainder of tlte season. riTE ATI./XTA GEORGIAN AND NETVS.SATL’RDAY.

C ARL MORRIS, who fights Jack Keating at tlte Dixie Athletic club Tuesday night, is a well meaning young man, even though he isn’t the greatest fighter in the world. He took up the game of hit and getaway because he thought he might have a chance to regain the heavyweight championship for the white race when Johnson won it from Jeffries in that memorable July 4 battle. Morris was manipulating the le ver on a big Western engine, and late on tlie afternoon of that never to-4»*-forgotten Fourth, he drove the black nose of "Big 66ti” around the winding curve into the station of his home town, Sapuli'fl, < »kla. Leaning far out of his cab win dow, he jelled to the station mas ■ ter: "How’d tile tight come out ? "Johnson won in fifteen rounds," replied the S. M. Right then and there Morris, a 300-pounder, of muscle and bone, climbed down from his engine and declared that he would never again turn tlie wheels of "Big 666" until he had defeated Johnson and brought back the title to the white ; race.

B II S his string',; Greatest Football Play I Ever Saw—Written by Tom Kittrell By Thomas G. Kittrell. IA member of Vanderbilt's eleven of '93, and one of the best linemen in the South at that time.) THE spectator tn the grandstand and the experienced critic may have very different notions as to whether a certain play is really a great one. If the spectacular fea tures are present, producing the de sired thrill, the crowd in the grand stand will not be nice about weigh ing the strength, agility, skill or good judgment displayed in a per formance which the experienced football man may condemn as very bad playing. But on the merits of the star per formance of Vanderbilt's fourth game with Sewanee, in the autumn of ’93, the grandstand and side lines were in entire accord. Billy Cleveland, the Purple’s fa mous half back, furnished the sen sation. Vanderbilt had already been de feated in an earlier game that sea son on the Mountain, but it was believed that the team had been rounded into shape for retrieving that disaster. On tlie toss Vander bilt took the ball, defending the north goal. By persistent hammering at straight football, by which the re quired distance was barely covered on each series of downs, Sewanee was forced back to within three yards of her won goal line. Here it was first down. On the next play Sewanee secured the bull on a fum ble and onlj inches away from the goal. Any well ordered mind would have rested with sedate confidence on the certainty of a punt at this crisis, and the prompt dispositions of the Tigers seemed about to jus tifj - such a reasonable expectation. Rut these dispositions w» re only a fake. Tin oval was passed to Cleve land, at half. Hi was tall, well built, weighed about 170 pounds, aud locked the verj picture of an athlete, while there was a dash about Ills plajillg that Would have made him n favorite with the grandstiiiKi. no mutter what hl other qualities lidglit lutVe lieen. He was also a ten-second man, a tact whieli no uno p l ' sen; at Hint game would have cared afterward \t . ,11 til, hoo ..as I ,--ed lu. End Hutton snapped just as lie o-athered in n lonj; pnnt down the gridiron. This boy is light ning fast. was no loitering to gather flowers. ; The play had been well conceived, i and was faultlessly executed. Sewanee's quarter and left half back passed outside of Vanderbilt's right tackle, as the interference against the latter’s back field, with Cleveland on their heels. The ruse of tlie punt had paved the way, and Cleveland's speed and dodging did the rest. Soon he was head ing a procession of the Old Gold and Black players down across the field for a touchdown. In Sewanee's first play she had scored a touchdown after a run of something over 107 yards. While Cleveland was the star per former, his support was all that could have been desired; every man performed his part with the preci sion and thoroughness that ordi narily results only from the most careful coaching. With this beginning, aided by her superior offensive work, Sewa nee scored a decisive victory, her first upon Dudley Field. A. A. C. SWIMMERS~WORK FOR MEET WITH B. A. 0. The swimming pool of the Atlanta Athletic club is alive every night with the members, and the "hope-to-be rnembers” of the swimming team. Valiantly they have applied themselves to the work of perfecting their water powers. The majority of club members are taking unusual Interest in the team, and if encouragement counts for anything, the squad already has a big headway. At present the work is most ly on the crawl stroke and the speed with which these athletes are plowing their way through the pool every night seems sufficient proof that it has been mastered. The members of the squad are Hav erty, Plant. Huff. Mclntire, Crane. Du bard, Weaver. Hoyt, Kelly and Wynans. Crane Is an old New York Athletic club swimmer and is fast rounding Into I shape.

IE your young son manifests an incurable desire to become a baseball player, and you And him fooling around first base, or the outfield, or the second or third, or even peering with infantile eag erness through the meshes of a mask, lead that youthful party out behind the barn and have a speech with him. Put on a catching glove and ex amine the condition of his shooting arm. He may have a wholly un suspected hope to his fast ball, along with a nice curve and some change of pace. Such being the case, it becomes your parental duty to admonish him to enter life as a pitcher of baseballs. Speak to him as. follower "Son, there is a great deal of class to a Cobb, but consider the skinnetl thighs which come from the sliding appertaining to the run ning of bases. Consider, too, the daily labor —the 154 games of base ball, during which the man who would be a Tyrus must pound the pill for better than .400, or lose caste among his people. "Consider the enormous amount of energy- which must be expended every two hours out of the 24 by the Hal Chases, and the Honus Wagners, and the Larry Doyles of our time. Each and every day they have the same<>ld strain and wor ry; each and every day they must perform their work with marvelous efficiency or be panned to a whis per. No alibis go in their cases. "And then, my son, pause and think of the life, of the slothful ease of the pitcher, who works two or three times a week, but who gets practically as much money, and eke as much fame. He wins his game and the labors of the Cobbs and the other men behind him are forgotten in the gossip of his prow ess; he' loses and the men are sacri ficed for their shortcomings, and he is excused on the ground of an off day. "Be a pitcher, my gon—be a Mathewson, or a Wood, or a John son. and you will find the path to the vaudeville stage as easy from the mound as it is from the out field.” Scout Sent to Take a Peep. Having concluded your lecture, all you have to do ik to turn your son loose with a baseball in his hand and let him wander through the bushes until such time as some big league manager locates him on the advice of friends. A big league scout may stumble across him ac cidentally, but nowadays the man ager usually hears about the phe noms and then sends the ivory hunter to confirm or deny the news. The demand for pitching material ik never satisfied in the big leagues. The box is the surest short cut to fame. A manager may have two or three men sitting on his bench who are better in sheer ability than men playing in his regular line — and the manager may know that to be a fact—but lack of experience, or other reasons, may keep them long in the background, whereas the pitcher usually finds big league opportunity crowding him at all stages. It is sometimes only after two or three years of steady playing that an infielder or an outfielder reaps the reward of ability, where as a young pitcher may step im mediately into the limelight. Claude Hendrix, a two-year man; Larry Cheney and Jeff Tesreau, who have had only a year of big league ex perience, are the pitching leaders of the National league. Hugh Be dient gained great fame after a few months on a major bench, while Jimmy Lavender, another first-year man, mopped up much glory this last season Os course, a Ty Cobb or Tris Speaker can not long be denied, but these are exceptional cases Every big league manager is grooming youngsters who will one day be stars of the baseball world, but meanwhile, while they are gain ing their education, young twirlers. who joined on after they did, are slipping into sudden fame. It might be argued that while the pitcher does not work as hard as the other players, neither does he last as long in the big league, but that argument is answered by the fact that several of the foremost figures in the game today are vet eran heavers. Mathewson in Harness 12 Years. Christy Mathewson has been pitching for twelve years, and is to day one of the highest salaried men in the game. He is accounted well off in this world's goods. He Is good for several years more. Ed Walsh is a comparative veteran, and still one of the five greatest heavers in the world. There is no reason why a man ilk* Walter Johnson should not go on as long as Mathewson, or why Ma qtiard should not last as long a* Eddie Blank, who is an old-timer, as bn I players go, but who finished sec on< ■ ’ ; • - U t 1 ' * league a*' -ea-otl.
