W. Heisman, Coach of Tech Eleven, N four quarters of eleven minutes I each the Yellow Jackets piled up 61 points against the Baptists from Meraer, It was a pretty nlce day, even if a bit warm for the players, and an unusually large crowd for the open ing game was in attendance. They were very appreclative of the good plays and thoroughly enjoyed the game from start to finish, Mercer showed a rush line that ape peared rather heavier than the usual Mercer line, and it went into the game with a firm determination to hold things down. They had evi dently been labored with to excellent advantage and charged hard and low, so that once in a while they broke up Tech’'s line bucks in pretty good style. The bucking, too, was pretty good, Henderson especially distin gulshing himself in this respect. McKenzie at left end was, one way and another, in the limelight the whole game through, He had a very spectacular way of running from left to right or vice versa, and he nailed & couple of very pretty forward passes for good gains. Finally, he became a bit too zealous, and took a poke at a dodging Yellow Jacket, whereupon the officlals persuaded him to take a recess on the bench, While the Mercer rush line did yeo man work it can not be said that the Mercer backfleld succeeded in pulling much eye-opening stuff. The team did get away with three nice forward passes, each of which resulted in a first down, but no other first downs were made. Indeed it {s doubtful if a first down would have gone down to the credit of the Orange and Black even if the distance to be gained had been only § yards in place of 10, for the Tech line was charging so fero clously on defense that the Mercer backs simply couldn’t get away at all and sometimes they wera unahle even to get out of their tracks. This heavy line charging enabled the Tech sec ondary defense to take things easy, and they were not called upon to do much tackling, inasmuch as their for wards were usually busting the in terference and getting the runner long before he got to the secondary defense. Tech’s Line Strong. Tech presented a good line through out the contest, but the backfield was not so strong as it might have been. For one reason and another Captain Johnston, Spence Hill, Morrison, Guyon and Mcßeynolds were not in the game, and the bulk of the after noon's driving fell on Guill and Glover, both of whom did better work than had been expected. Strupper, at left half, was the individual star of the game, his end and broken field running being as brilliant and spec tacular as ever. In the last quarter he was succeeded by little Griffin, who showed them several times how fast he can run. Lebey went the whole distance at center and put up one of the best games to he seen anywhere at the Kaltlon. He left last night to rejoin is regiment at Camp Harris, to the profound sorrow of all his team mates, Senter, Dunwoody, Phillips and Preas all did some good line bucking from the end positions, and the last named had quite a day of it in the scoring line, making one touchdown by intercepting a 7«lr\\"!rd pass on Mercer's 25-yard line and going the remaining d{luncn without trouble. He made another touchdown by pick ing up & blocked kick, the credit for ingham B Birmingham Bows to Alabama Eleven, 13-0 BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 30.—Alabama defeated Birmingham College, 13 to 0, Saturday on the University cam pus. Alabama beat the same team 67 to 0 last season, but found the Methodists five times as strong this Year, The game was featured by the line plunging of Walter and Arthur Hov ater. Both scored a toucndown after a march down the field in old-fash foned football. Two neat forward passes were made, one of these going for a near touchdown. An inexcus able fumble spoiled the play. Tusculum Eleven Is Beaten by Tennessee KNOXVILLE, TENN., Sept. 20 Tennessee, 33: Tusculum, 0. After playing even in the first period, Ten nessee suddenly started a rally, and before the second period ended had made two touchdowns and klcked one €oal. Two more touchdowns In the third and one in the fourth finish«d the scoring. Ring, Fmory, Sller and Hatcher were the Tennessee stars, Emory making two touchdowns by splendid end running and sideste; ping. The conches are fairly well sat isfied with Tennessee's showing. .

Furman out played Clemson in the first half, rush ing the ball through the lne for cone. “istent gaine Captain Grisslette, halfback, carried the ball chiefly Clemson won on a forward pass, Banks to Harrie, who darted across the goal Mne.

Mauck Forced to Quiit. Hugh Mauck was raising Cain in the line and caving in the whole side of the Mercer line until he got a kick on the head which cut a gash that made him come out, _The comedy feature of the day was ‘the six consecutive attempts made by the Yellow Jackets to get long Canty Alexander across Mercer's goal line for the first touchdown of the ambi tious young man's career. They placed him five yards back each time, as the rules require, and bucked him lthreo times without avail. Then he essayed an end run of it on his own responsibility, but the Mercer ends were as hard hearted as the tackles, Then McKenzle got put out of the game and it was first down again for Tech, so Canfy was permitted two more trials. He finally sadly admit ted that his forte was line work, not backfield stuff, so he went back to the old place at guard he had been holding down grandly, and Guill plunked it over for him. Tech made one touchdown by for ward passing the ball across the northern goal line—Guill to Senter; it was a grety play. | On the whole It was enjoyable foot ball, but ragged enough in spots. An other week of practice and Tech should look better.

Heisman, Coach of Tech Eleven. HE SUNDAY AMERICAN hore-I ' with presents the portraits of | three of the most promising new recruits at Grant Field this year. l’l‘hey will undoubtedly make good 'as athletes, or at all events they at present give every promise and in- Idlcutlon of possessing the natural qualifications demanded of successful lathletu. | | BILL FINCHER. ‘ Bill Fincher is not unknown to At lanta footfall fame, as he has been playing for several years as a star lineman on the strong Tech Hi teams. Last June he graduated from hlghl school, and, as he lives in Atlanta and desired to continue his engineer ing studies, Georgia Tech was right in line tu claim him for its own. Bill is one of the best looking men physically n the Tech squad today. Easily six feet in height, he forces the scale bar up even when it Teg isters 190 pounds stripped, and every ounce of this meat looks to be the very best quality of muscle. But football is not the only game Bill plays. He has been a member of the High School baseball and bas ketball teams as well, playing the po sition of second base with the former and guard with the latter. This has given him pretty good footwork for S 0 large a man, and 2lso increased quickness in his general movements, In addition to the above sports Fincher won points for his school track team last spring in putting the shot, at which event his great strength is bound to tell. All summer RBill has been survey ing the mountains of North Georgia, working hard in sunshine and storm, getting in condition to put forth the effort of his life to make a place for himself on the Tech team in his first vear out, and there can be no denying that at the present time he looms up as a strong possibility. His vyouth and lack of intercollegiate experience will, of course, be somewhat against him, as it is against the chances of any first-vear man. The trouble with most of these new men is that they don’t at all grasp the need of sus tained effort on their part. They play a minute llke the very dickens, and then they rest two minutes. Pro longed, persevering, incessant energy and effort is something beyond them for the first year or two: only ma turity in years seems to produce this consistent doggedness so requisite to the full equipment of a varsity play er, If Fincher can get that point in his head this year he will be heard from. JOE GUYON. Here is a fine young athlete most of us have heard of before—Joe Guy on, formerly of the Carlisle Indian School, located at Carlisle, Pa., but for the last two years a student at Keekatin Academy, Wis, Guyon Is a brother to Charley Wahoo, of this city, also an ex member of the Carlisle team. As Wahoo has made Atlanta his perma nent home he decided to bring his younger brother to Atlanta and send him to Tech, so they could be to gether, The first year Guyon entered Car lisle he was playved in the line, mak ing a regular's place for himself at the position of tackle; but the next vear he was brought back Into the backfield by Coach Warner to fill the place left vacant by Thorpe's exit at halfback. This place he filled In such good style that even the great Thorpe was hardly missed, To have made good on the rush Hne of w 0 good a team as Carlisle had in those days In his very first year at the game ghows what a re markable natural aptitude Guyon had for football; and then to have made such a signal success of bhackfleld work also in his very first year at Se S SR G N PRI ISR ¢ O U U o R S N R v A S R SR b R o > ‘.

Leorn o £A~ o s ) ¢ Sleanuneht he tha flar Mhea Pocsite ‘the position demonstrates clearly that ‘he was simply a born player. ~ And that Guyon clearly is. He runs with the greatest possible ease and the least exertion imaginable. He dodges and sidesteps in a manner worthy of our own Strupper. He is, apparently, as brilliant an interferer as our Captain Johnston, and he will tackle with the best of tacklers. On catching and running back punts he is a wonder, while in punting it is almost u dead heat between him and “Strup,” which is saying a very great deal. In a word, Guyon appears to be a perfectly rounded out plaver. The very gent thing about him is that he is modest. He never talks about what he has done in the past, nor what he can do—only what he can't do. He strikes one as a thor oughly well-behaved and gentlemanly chap, and he obeys orders and toes the mark in matters of discipline like the level-headed fellow he so evident ly is. I feel certain he ig destined to be very popular not only with his fel low players and college mates, but with the football public as well, Joe has also played baseball, la crosse and other games with marked success, and has achieved some dis tinetion in track and fleld sports as well, | LOUIS McREYNOLDS. 4 __Louis Mcßeynolds, of Sutherland, Fla., got his first taste of scholastic athletics as a student In Sutherland Academy, the preparatory depart ment of Southern College. He is a mighty well bullt boy, welghing about 185 pounds and measuring 5 feet 10 Inches in helght. For hls stockiness he {s remarkably fast on his feet, having time and again made 10 3-4 seconds in the 100-yard dash, on slow tracks, and when tired after participation in half a dozen other track and fleld events. At G. M. A. last spring he starred by winning firet place in the finals of both dashes, the hurdles, the broad Jump and In both the hammer and shot puts, to say nothing of several I|«ond places in other events, . “Mack” is also considerable of a baseball player, having performed to satisfactlon In the outfleld and also a Nttle behind the bat. | In football he will he tried out In the backfleld, where the combination ‘of his unusual speed and weight should count teo splendid advantage. He goes at the line in good style and gives every indication of becoming a brilliant back, Just at present he Is lald up with a bad “charley horse” the result of being struck on the thizh by a flerce tackle in one of the scrimmuages last week, and it is painfully plain that he will now be laid up fY»r ten davs, or poseibly two weeks, hefors he will again bhe able to don a uniform. Mack is another genial, willing worker, and is evidently going to I(Iva his very best and all to the White and Gold. Vanderbilt Beats ¢ ¢ A : five . o iil e .

HERE is a growing suspicion I among horsemen that Mr. Ed ward F. Geers, of Memphis, at some time or other, probably back in the dawn of the seventeenth century or thereabouts, slipped through on the rail in that well-known Fountain of Youth stake, In which, it will be re- membered, Colonel P. D. Leon was caught by the flag. The family Bible says that “Pop” is somewhere beyond the vale of 70, but a man who can be hurled to the track bed in two races in one season and come out from un der the pounding hoofs of a fleld of trotting horses, and stlll be there at post time, has undoubtedly had a dose of the Elixir of Life. Which, of course, is another name for Grit, 100 per cent silica. | News dispatches of Wednesday said that the dean of the Grand Circuit relnsmen was in the stand at Colum-~ bus for the first time since his near fatal spiil of two weeks ago. This is taken here to mean that “Pop” will be sufficiently recovered by the time of the Atlanta meeting during the Southeastern Fair to drive his horses in the local events. And with the announcement that Mr, Geers had once again slipped one over on Fate, interest in the October trots took on a rosier tone, for it isß known wherever fast horseflesh is petted and pam pered that “Pop” Geers can make a meeting a success all by himself, | An Eventful ‘ur. | This year has probably been the most eventful of the 45 vears ‘‘Pop” has -gent in the sulky, At the open ing show at Cleveland this spring he was thrown In a spill and suffered in juries that confined him in a hospital for several weeks. In spite of the fact \that many sald he would never race Aagain, the old man came through, and during the Kalamazoo meet he took the mount behind Napoleon Direct and won the free-for-all pace. Two weeks later, at Columbus, he drove the stal llon a mile in better than two min utes. It was 'the first time in his life that “Pop” had ridden that fast. The time was 1:59 3-4, and with the per sonal record-breaking stunt “Pop"” added another free-for-all pace to his credit. | It 1s a notable fact that at the return engagement at Columbus, the same track that witnessed his first two-minute drive, Mr. (ieers received his second and most serious injury of the year, On September 21 the vet eran driver went down in a mix-up on the getaway turn. But a week later he was back In the stand and wit nessed his Napoleon Direct take an other fast pacing battle.

I AR By Fuzzy Woodruff. i THHENS, Sept. 80.—After his IA hollow victory by a 6 to 0 | score over Citadel in the open- Ing game of Georgia's football sea= son, Alex Cunningham, coach of the Red and Black squad, sat for hours chewing a clgar and wondering “What's the mattert” For hls team, with as fine material as Georgia or any other Southern team has ever possessed, was out played and outfought for two twelve~ minute periods by the light Carolins 'churaeu of “Shorty” O'Brien. The Red and Black colors never showed until their superior weight began to tell in the second half, and then fre- Guent fumbles held them to a single ‘Lum:hd\n\u. yed & The thing that perturbe unntn' - ‘ham and gave him over to dark brown cogitation was that hig line, the old Red line of Georgia that has always been Cunningham's mainstay, played football like novices, The vet eran players, except Garmany, wess totally unable to get going. The giant Thrash and the huge Wingate wers neither able to charge during the first half and it was over the latter player that Citadel gained with alarming conslstency during the first period, : Twice during the first twelve min~ utes of play the Red and Black goal line was threatened, but each time In the shadow of their own goal posts the old Georgia fightigg spirit showed and Cunningham’s men were able to hold the Citadel. During this period Citadel's forward passing was deadly accurate and Georgia seemed totally unable to break up this style of at tack. Weeks, who did the passing, seemed a star of the first water at this game, In the second period Georgia crossed Citadel's line on what Referse “Rip” Majors ruled an illegal for ward pass, and never again during the half was either goal in danger, Between halves Cunningham must have made a real oration to his fol lowers, for they came out with a whole lot more fight. After kicking off to Citadel, Georgia held and the Carollnans were forced to kick. A fine run by Reynolds put Georgla on Citadel's 20-yard line, and succes slve mass plays carried the ball across, Dezendorf having the honor of making the score. Donnelly missed an easy goal, From then on it was all Georgla, though there was no more scoring. In the last period Thrash blocked a Citadel kick and the ball was car ried close to the goal line, A poor pass caused Dezendorf to fumble and Citadel promptly kicked out of dan ger. During the game Georgla uncov ered a splendid broken-field runner in Reynolds, former G. M. C. .star, while Donnelly also performed in & a spirited fashion both times he was intrusted with the ball. Bul Georgia’'s line never worked up to its capacity, and untfl his fors wards hegin to charge Cunningham's path will he rough and thorny.. Let it not be judeed from the aforge going paragraphs that Georgia met ang mean opponent. ‘The Citadel was Hght, but 1t was ﬂtf‘nhdinﬂytm cotached, the secondary defense heing particularly effective. And the Caro linans had it all on the Georglans as fir as condition went. They played the four twelve-minutes quarters in splendid shape, while the Red and Black men were pufing like steam engines flva minutes after play bde gan.
