HAT the public Interest in foot
ball has been awakened In At
lanta this season as never be
fore was indicated again by the very
fine crowd that gathered at Fort Mc
Pherson yesterday afternoon to see
the game between Lieutenant De
vore’s Seventeenth Infantry team and
Captain Cromers Eleventh Cavalry
stalwarts from Chattanooga, which
was won by the locals. Ifi to 7.
A detail of the Army-Navy game
was being received by special wire
and given out by megaphone to the
large gathering, and as Army was
winning in unexpected fashion the
folks at the fort were happy all af
ternoon.
Lining up for the local battle it
was noticed that the Seventeenth line
was a bit heavier than that of the
Eleventh, while the backfleld looked
to be about evenly balanced. The
best of feeling prevailed throughout
the entire contest, and even as an
official close in to the playing at all
times it was quite impossible for me
to detect anything unsportsmanlike
In the playing of a single man on
either team. For that matter there
was exceedingly little off-side play or
foul interference, either.
The Seventeenth kicked off to the
Eleventh, and after a few fair gains
on line bucks the Eleventh cut loose
with a forward pass that was but
the forerunner of a great many that
were to be not only attempted but
successfully completed as well by
both teams during the course of the
game. This pass was from Dezen-
dorf to Left End Tingle and was for
15 yards. A moment later the whole
blamed thing was duplicated except
that this time it went for 35 yards
and a touchdown. Jones kicked a
goal for the Eleventh and the score
stood 7 to 0 in favor of the visitors.
Passes Worried Infantry.
Those passes worried the ho vs from
the Seventeenth quite a bit. but t'ne
score didn’t, and they went back to
work with the willingness of a bunch
! of strikers that have got their de
mands after being out about six
months. They put their line to work
and Swartz, Bradberry and Moore
I began bucking like their own Army
Mule. The wav they catapulted into
j the Eleventh line was something to
I make one gasp. Directly, though, the
Eleventh drew in their tackles, their
line stiffened, and the Seventeenth
! found the going rapidly slackening.
Then, at just the psychological mo-
i ment. Swartz shot a 30-yard forward
pass to Mahoney and the ball he-
' longed to the Seventeenth on the
Eleventh’s 10-yard line. From here
Bradberry, bv a fine ram of it, crowd
ed it over for a touchdown in the
extreme corner of the field The
punt-out went a bit too far and thev
i lost their chance at a try for goal,
leaving the score 7 to 6, still In favor
of the Eleventh.
It was not long after this that the
Seventeenth found itself again in
possession of the ball on the Elev
enth’s 30-yard line. Being last down
and directly in front of the goal posts
they decided to try a place kick for
goal. Going back another eight
yards, Bingle got ready, called for the
ball, and, with Swartz holding the
pigskin, he cut the crossbar squarely
in two. It was a beautiful goal, and
it showed that Coach Devore had
groomed his men very carefully for
just such an opportunity. The score
now stood 9 to 7 in favor of the
Seventeenth, and the visitors were
not now enjoying the afternoon as
heartily as a few moments before.
Played Army Football.
Both teams were using substantial
ly the same kind of formations and
system of play—essentially West
Point football—and they gave a good
exemplification of it. Either team
could gain with the ball, and both
were exceptionally clever in their use
of the forward pass. In fact, in this
department of play the two teams
were quite as expert as any college*
team I have yet seen play, if not a
shade more so. The passes were oft
en very long and hurled with deadly
accuracy; and at the receiving end
they were usually coupled up by on
end or back with thrilling catches.
Some of them were hair-raising. It
needs to be said, though, that the
sidebacks of either team were as
clever in defending against the passes
as college men usually are.
The ball see-sawed back and forth
for most of the* second half, with both
sides threatening to get away every
minute. Once the Eleventh got close
enough to make a mighty good try
at goal, but the ball struck one of the
goal uprights and bounded back Into
the field of play. Another time they
had the ball about on the Fort’s 15-
yard line, and Dezendorf, who had
been playing great ball for the Elev
enth all afternoon, took the ball to
make a forward pass.
Falling to find a receiver anywhere
in the clear, he tucked the ball under
his arm and went around the other
end with it himself for a neat gain of
10 yards, which took it to the Fort’s
5-yard line. But a lineman for the
Eleventh was caught holding—the
only time one of their eleven indulged
in this pastime all afternoon, so far
as I could see—and they were set back
16 yards. Then came a fumble, which
the Seventeenth secured, and things
began to swing toward the opposite
point of the compass. This was 'ho
best and lapt chance the Eleventh had,
but they continued to fight as val
iantly as though perfectly sure of ul
timate victory.
Make Swell Forward Pass.
The final score for the Seventeenth
came within a few moments of the
end. Thev had the ball on the Noo-
gans’ 20-yard line, and lacked but
about half a yard to make it first
down. Instead of ramming it, how
ever, they went back for another place
kick try for goal. Everything being
made ready, the ball was snapped to
the kneeling Bradberry, who bluffed
to place it on the ground for the kick,
but who instead flipped it up to
Schwartz, who made % forward pass
of it for about 25 yards to Arcan,
who fell with It just across the goal
line as two Cavalrymen tackled him.
Goal was kicked and the score of
16 to 7 in favor of the Infantrymen
was held throughout the remainder
of the contest.
Considering that they were some
what outweighed the Eleventh put up
a most creditable game of ball, while
the Seventeenth must be given cred
it for coming back strong after be
ing first scored on.
Both teams punted and handled
punts clean, and their line charging
was excellent. Neither team played
with the fierceness that characterizes
the work of college players, nor were
they up to collegemen in the effec
tiveness of their interference. Still
it was good football, and the best of
it was that It was played in a good,
clean, wholesome way, on which both
are to be warmly congratulated.
For the Eleventh Dezendorf and
Captain Ryan were perhaps the best
performers, while Arcan, Swaxtz, Bln-
gle and Lipke did yeoman service for
the Seventeenth.
Mention Should also be made of an
open formation used now and then
by the Seventeenth with great suc
cess. Their game against the All-
Star team is sure to be one worth
going some few blocks to witness

A letter received by the manage- !

from Harry Welchonce announces
Harry’s acceptance (with thanks) of
the appointment as captain of the

CAMBRIDGE, MASS,. Nov. 29.—
The committee which will work with
Captain J. B. Reynolds, of the Har

Crimson's rowing activities for the
coming season, has been selected.
Captain Reynolds has named Rob

chairman, with J. F. Perkins and Dr.
William E. Ladd, both of Boston, and
John Richardson, of Cambridge, as
the other members.
This committee will consider soon

agreement.

a terrible accident was avoided by

T O meet Arthur Chappie one
would readily associate him
with a branch of the clerical
profession, as his pleasant expres
sions and polite manners would lead
you to imagine. To encounter his
presence on a motorcycle race track
you meet the practical type of the
happy-go-lucky daredevil, ready for
anything that will lead to excitement,
be it ever so dangerous or rough.
Following his vocation of motor
drome racing “Chap" is ever ready
to boost his fellow-riders, but hesi
tates to exploit his own hazardous
undertakings.

THE grave has claimed a great por-

with Chappie In the game of hide-
and-go-seek with the Grim Reaper.
Deroeies, Hasha, Albright, Edwards,
McNeil and so on runs the list of
the original daredevils, but Chappie
alone remains to sit and tell us how
they were killed and why quick ac
tion has saved him from a similar
fate. In (act, Arthur thinks death is
a joke.
TURNING off miles in 1 minute and

Chappie when he first arrived in this
country. After a successful season at
falls and wrecks. Chappie showed to
advantage throughout New England
as pacemaker for many of the for

Garden Chappie competed against the
redoubtable Parisian riders, Albert
Champion and Ralph DePalma. The

that screens the spectators from the
top of the track, with •’Chap" fight
ing every inch for supremacy. He
finally brought the flying wreck back
onto the track and finished up on
the running board.

T IE spectators, realizing that a ter
rible accident was narrowly avert
ed, gave vent to their feelings by
cheering “Chap” to the echo. Chap
pie will linger with us a few more
days and then depart for Savannah,
where he will participate in the great
motorcycle classic on Christmas day.

One Sunday afternoon an auburn-

Stubbs had hung tenaciously to the
