OPENING GAME OF THE YEAR
SPORT NEWS
—EDITED BY-
PERCY H. WHITING
WILL BE PLAYED SATURDAY
MARYVILLE TEAM IS HERE
AND ALL READY FOR TECH
The first football game of the season of
1908 will l»e play oil thla Afternoon nt Tech
park, beginning at 3 o'clock, lietween the
Tech team nnd that representing the Mar/*
vllle college.
The Mar/rllle team blew Into Atlanta
Friday night, nnd the men are all ready
for trouble. They hare Already played
one game, a practice affair, ngnlnst the
American university, which they won In
fine style. The men nre husky looking
propositions, nnd will no doubt entertain
the Tech team to tin; fullest. They have
been coached by It. 8. Dickson, nn tx-l'enn-
eylvanln player, and he seems %hpfld«nt
that they will make a good shnw'lhg.
The Tech team has been weakened at
the laat moment by the departure from
college of Leo Wert, one of the team's
strongest candidates. Mr. Wert has de
cided to give up college work and go Into
business. The departure of Wert will hurt
the team materially, for he was a first-
class player.
However, with Conch Ilelsman ^nt the
helm, there will be something stirring nil
along the line, nnd there need b© no fear
that Tech will !h* disgraced.
The game will Ik* called at 3 o'clock
this afternoon, nn/1 It will undoubtedly Im*
pat through In fast time. The rule requir
ing that tlnn* may be taken mit on ac
count of Injuries only three times will do
much to keep tho gnme going with a
rush.

COLT BOUGHT FOR $3,TOO
GREATEST HORSE OF YEAR
By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.
New York, Wept. 29.—"J*ong Jive the King!"
Is the cry of the thousands of racing do
voters here In the East nt the present mo
ment A year ago It was Hysonby, nnd to
day Balvldere Is the lion.
"Greater than Hysonby." "Hamburg might
have been his equal," "the perfect Ameri
can thoroughbred." Such nre the melo
dramatic encomiums concerning Bhlvldero
one henrs Just now; In fnct, so grent
fans .the colt become that the Hrighton
Reach Racing Association, nt whose track
racing opens for n week's run next Monday,
Is out with an offer of a sweepstakes with
16,000 added If Balvldere will he entered by
his owners against Electioneer, winner of
the Futurity, nnd Fountnlnblue.
But that Halvldere will Is* seen again this
Season Is not prolmhlo, for he needs a rest.
Balvldere Is the best nnd only renl high
class race horse developed this past sum
mer of racing. Balvldere hns beaten every
3-year-old of pretension In the lists.
Here are some fncts concerning this ban
Her colt; He Is a gelding and was bred by
James Gnlwny. The stulllon Relridere sired
Balvldere and Bailie of Navarro was h
dam. An agent of the late Captain Hn
Drown bought fttalvldere ns n yearling for
91,100. Balvldere, with a score of other
youngsters, was turned over to Trainer Hob
Tucker to be pointed for the races Inst
April. Two months earlier Captain Hrowu
bad died In Pittsburg, 1'n., nnd his turf In
terests reverted to W. Harry Brown, the
deceased's brother. Horse racing stood as
an abomination In his eyes. "I want you
to sell out the stable and farm ns soon ns
you can find half-decent purchasers," di
rected Brown fa a talk with Tucker at Bel
mont Park laat May.
• cker then sold the 3-year-old Account-
for $45,000 to "Dlsmond Jew" Itrndy,
rlg.it after the colt had won the Withers
•takes. Blnce then Accountant hns won
ovto 106,000 In stnkes, nnd his owher hns
cashed $60,000 worth of bets on his suc
cesses. Along nt Brighton Reach Brown
thought Tucker had beter clean out a few
more. Then came a paddock sale. Pen-
nards, a $26,000 winner since then, went for
$2,600; Frank Gill, a 'good colt, brought
$3,100, and Balvldere, lol and behold,
knocked down to John E. Madden foi
$3,700. Halvldere, as aforementioned, had
been benten by Fountnlnblue In a sort of
scratch scramble, but It served to show
Madden the fine points of his racing notion.
Walking Into the ring on the day of the
sale, Madden was surprised to see the colt
on the sale list. "What nre you going to
sell that colt for. Bob?" naked Madden of
Tucker, the latter replying in effect that
the youngster's off fore f«*it wns soft and
sore. Madden, a master In the treatment
of a thoroughbred's foot, examined the af
fected member and then silently stole away.
Securing t'hnrloy White, the prise fight ref
er ee, he said; "Go to $10,000 for Balvldere
for me." "Lucky Jack" McGinnis, the tunn
who bents more Iqng shots than any other
bettor on the turf, started to nibble ou Sal-
vide
Boon Mnddcn was telling him of the bad
forefoot Jack quit. White got Balvlde
for $3,700 ns aforementioned. Madden
racing In partnership wlttnthe Messrs.
F. R. Hitchcock. "You Van hnvi
half Interest In this colt If you wnnt it,
Tom." snld Madden after the sale, nnd
Hitchcock took up the offer. Since then
Balvldere hns not been defeated, winning
six straight stake events and a little over
$62,000 In prize money.
Madden stnrted off by using light alumi
num pads on Hnlvldere's touchy foot.
The Saratoga special, of $20,000, was Hnl
vldero's biggest triumph, hilt hi* win of the
Junior chnmplon of $15,000 did more to

By Fighting Dick Hyland
Ban Francisco, Kept. 29.—Eddie Hanlon
was l>enten Into such a condition by Dick
Hyland Inst night that Referee Jack Welch
was compelled to Interfere to prevent a pos-
■ihle ring fatality.
Hanlon's finish came In the thirteenth
round. In the previous round the boys were
scuffling nnd tearing away with both fists nt
close quarters, just as they had been doing
from the Instant the bell set them point: the
first round. Hanlon wns »M»ring In nnd fight

fighting nnd It was nt once apparent that
llylaud had gained a stroug Advantage.
Ilsnlon backed away In n stooping posi

Although daced nnd hurt he Jumped up

spinning him liberally with Ice water, hut
the little fellow was not quite himself when
he toed the mark for the thirteenth round.
Hyland went at him fiercely and Hanlon

cided In Hyland’s favor.
HARVARD HAS OPENING GAME
FREAK PLAY
Cambridge, Mass.. Kept. 29.—When Har
vard faces the Williams team today, the
crimson eleven will spring one of the
most spectacular plays ever aeen on
gridiron, nnd possible only under the new
rules. It Is a daring triple pass, iuvolvlug
a forward one. The team spent hours yes
terday In practice on this play.
The pass was worked between the two
half backs on the full back, nnd proved to
he the moat successful of the new plays
under the revised rules. The ploy can l*c
aimed at either end, the half receiving the
ball first making the forward pass to the
fullback, who in turn passes the leather
back to the other half back.

FOR DAVIDSON
Special to The Georgian.
Davidson, N. C., Sept 29.—Today will
witness the opening game of the season
between the Davidson eleven and the
University **f North Carolina team in
Charlotte, N. C.
For the past four years Davidson has
been one of the university's most form
idable foes, and at times it has looked
as though the haughty university would
have to surrender her championship
to the "red and black."
Both teams, have been working hard
for the past two weeks, so this bids
fair to be the hottest contested game
ever witnessed between these two rival
teams. At least 10,000 people will be
out to witness the game.
The game will be called at Latta
park at 3;3o p. in.
Allen or Kt^gerton, center; Whitta
ker. right guard; Lent*, left guard;
Seymour, right tackle; Croon, left
tackle; Miller, left end; Fftser, right
end, Elliott or Celey, quarterback;
Captain McCoy, fullback; Denney,
right halfback; Sadler, left halfback.
The "subs" are Huntington and Bur-
gard, backs; Walker, line; Oxford and
Daniel, ends.
Several changes have been made on
the Davidson team this season which
he seriously felt. The loss of
Stockard, M«»ore, Hicks and B. B. Lacy,
Jr„ the "little quarterback," will hurt
the team very tnneh. However, the
new wen who have taken their posi
tions. while they are Inexperienced,
promise good work, and so In Captain
McCoy's own words, "Our prospects are
fair for a tvinning Cvahi." _
BY PURCHASE AND DRAFT l
SMITH IS GETTING GOOD MEV
Billy Bmlth Is having a successful jaunt
through the Central League. He has lo
cated some good players, and he will draft
them when his turn comes.
This much ho has written recently to
Chief Joyner.
As to what men Smith has In mind, he
will not even tell "the chief." Of course.
It Is to his interest and to that of the
club that it does not leak out which men
he Is after. It may be mentioned though,
with all confidence, that h^ has an eye
on an In fielder, who will bb Juat what he
wants.
Here Is what The Springfield, Ohio, News
hns to say about Smith’s visit to that
city: N
"Billy Smith, of this city, the clever man
ager of the Atlanta club. In the Southern
League, Is here.
"Billy Is looking for outfielders, nnd he
stopped over In Cincinnati yesterday niul
called on President Herrmann, of |tbe
Reds.
"He put In n bid for Jess Iler-feer, ol
whom he has heard gbod reports.
"The Red chief told him that Decker
would make the Southern trip with tho
Rods In the spring, and would be given a
thorough trial. If the youngster Is not
needed In the Red gardens, Atlanta will get
a chance for his services.
"Billy will spend the balance of the wee:
looking over the material in the Central
League, Ih this city and Dayton.
expects to make Center Fielder M
the Rluffton club, an offer, and ho ma
give Marshall Com lager and (
the same club, n trial In faster company.£
"The Atlantu lender will put In
three weeks In tills part of the count
nud then return to the Georgia me*
for the winter. He-reports a sin
season In the South, nnd exp
strengthen his team so as to make
fight for the pennant In 1907."

RULE MUDDLE
VERY^ FIERCE
MEN WHO DREW UP NEW CODE
CANT EXPLAIN WHAT IT
ALL MEANS.
If any of you wise baseball guys wnnt a
Job ns manager of n Class A baseball team,
please apply to Nashville.
Time was when the average guy would
not have stood much chance for that Job,
but times lmve changed.
The once proud owners of the Nashville
franchise nre now willing to close with al
most anybody who will agree to stick by
the managerial job for one seuson, come
what may.
They even go further. They agree to fur
nish the manager with all the advice they
have nt hand. In fact, practically all that
the manager will have to do will be to sit
around and look pleasant. The directors
will furnish nil the thinks. They did for
Mike Finn, nnd look what nn easy time he
hnd. Job was such a cinch toward the end
thst Mike resigned, just to get an occupa
tion.
Another advantage of the Job—there are
no money worries. iThe team never has
nny money, nnd how Is It possible to worry
about something yon have not? There may
he some error In this reasoning, so we will
pass to the next point.
Not being nny next point. It may be men
tioned that the Job has been offered to
Martin Hogan, nnd several others and that
the following have been considered ns man
agers:
John J. McGraw, Napoleon LnJole, Charles

RULE AGAINST “FOOTBALL STUDENTS"
DECLARED RETROACTIVE BY S. I. A. A.
The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, at Its laat annual
meeting, passed a new section to its bylaw’s which provided that no
man who left college at the end of the football season and did not
finish out the school year should be eligible to play on any team under
the jurisdiction of the 8. I. A. A. during the next year. It was not made
clear, however, whether or not this rule was retroactive and was going to
bar men who played football last fall and then dropped out of college.
As several players who might possibly appear on Georgia teams this
year came under the workings of this rule the sporting editor of The
Atlanta Georgian wrote to Dr. Dudley, president of the association, asking
for his ruling. Dr. Dudley referred the matter to the executive committee
of the S. I. A. A. and then sent the following reply:
Vanderbilt University, School of Chemistry,
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 29, 1906.
My Dear Percy: I have just heard from the executive committee on
the application of Article IX Section 18. The committee voted to apply
It to the past record of athletes as well as the future. Therefore, a man
who violated this rule tn 1905-6 is not eligible this year. Yours truly,
