The prospects nro bright, however, for u good contest. ruder the new rules, football la proving a more Interesting game to the average spectator than It was In the past. Because of tho changes In the code It Is lni|M>sslblo now to dally with mass plays, and In eon- sequence the more spectacular end runs nre used. More kicking Is Indulged In, the hall changes hands more often nnd now, and then there Is a double pass, with perhaps a forward pitch worked lu to liven things up.

Barret, who played left half part of the sen sou last year aud who came to Hcwauee from Moouey, has been at full In the llue-up this season, lie bucks the Hue well, can take out on end In quick form, helps along the runner and Is s good defend re'urn u lu backing up the line.

Coach Quill hot been playing him nt quar ter. lie uses good head-work and pusses the ball well, maklug few fumbles, but Is little slow. Hhlp, Moon;*y’a star half for the Inst tv years, donned the purple uniform against hls old friends last Ksturday. He Is a big man,'Weighing 186 pounds, uud will pralm bdy make one of the rastest half* lu the South this season. He is especially good running In an open held. Markley, s new -man, comes to Hewnuee from Princeton, where he phiyed half on the Freshman team two years ngo. At left half he Is a consistent grouud-icpiner, and Is especially good In hetptug the ruuucr aud on the defeuse. Evans comes this year to Hewanee from the West Texas Military Academy, where he played two years nt full. Coach Quill baa placet) him at left guard, where. It seems, he will make good. He Is quick, strong and tough and 1ms plenty of nerve. Lewis, another Texas freshiunu, has shown up well nt proof lee. He Is very fust nnd so far nt right end has been able to stop everything that comes hls bay. He will probably remain In this position. 8. Williams, a man from Clemson, will play sub. end.

The gninc with Mooney Preparatory School resulted In the scon* of 24 to 0 nt the end of two fifteen-minute halves. The forward pass was used effectively, though It worked rather raggedly at times. The games were uotlccnhle for tho fact that line bucking nnd mass play i were al most eliminated. The result was that the game was more opeu nnd more soocMrnlar nnd that It was uot necessary to toko time out for hurts once In ths Moouey game, aud only twice in the game with the gram mar school.

Then came the shift htre to Brighton Beach, where the partisans of the two camps nre at It every day, hip an-1 spur. Undoubtedly Rosehen, holder of the three-quarter-mile record of 1:11 3-5, with l«i pounds up, nnd Lady Amelia, winner of 62 out of 68 starts, are tho greatest sprinters of modern times, and that the matter of supremacy between them will not be dollnltety settled Is something the sporting world will always regret.

The last games of the year are due then, and then comea the hr uni) final ”23." lt'a all oft for the year. There l< nothing more doing In league baseball. The only thing which Is stirring is the champion which begins next week apd last* until one team or. the other has won four out of seven, games. The season has been one of . the most successful, If not the very most suc cessful, In the history of baseball. Even' club In the National League has broken better than even—a thing which has never happened before. The Chicago Nationals have made a mint of money. The rest of them have kept the wolf a fair* distance from the door. In the American League a team or two has lost, but on the whole the sea son has been a good one In the younger organization. The race In the National has not held much of Interest for a couple of months, but the teaina have played good baseball and that has helped. It has beefi Chicago's race almost from the start, but there have been some nice contests for the minor positions. In the American league It started out with an elght-sldded race. Grad ually, one after another, the teams were knocked out. But It waa only a few days ago fhat Ihe pennant was cinched. From a flve-comered race It went down to four, then after a long time to three and until the closing week of the long segson. Chicago, New York nnd Cleveland had a chance. And now It Is all over but tho cham pionships. A few teams will do a bit of barn-storming, but practically the end of. league baseball Is here. Let It rest In peace. It needs It, for it has been a long, hard season. For a few- months baseball Is ' "Not dead but sleeping.” G.

Tb« grand-stand crowds were shivering In the damp nlr of dawn. Those who had boxe* lit the grand-stand began to All their seats with their friends nt 4 o'clock. Within an hour, every sent was taken by the automobile enthusiasts. A great double lane jot men, women and 'even children filled either side of the long, alnuous lace, wrapping Itself around the little section of Nassau couuty for the 29.7 miles of the cup course. The Inspectors of tho course bad great difficulty In getting the crowds to more back beyond the danger point along ths road of the course. At 5:30 a. m„ William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., referee, went around the course lu hls Mg touring car, accom* pnnlcd by members of the racing board, and warned the people back. As Van derbilt passed tho huge crowds, he shout ed: “Everyliody must keep back of the roads. If you do not, the race will not be started." Finally a number of Inspectors were sent scurrying around the course, and wher ever tbej crowd was encroaching on the roods they drove the people back. A few mluutes before 6 o'clock, ths starting time, tho crowds were driven back from tho course, and all was ready for the start. The crowds continued to give much trouble. When Truey pulled up at the grnnd-stnnd, he recorded a claim of a foul because of the pcoplo filling the roads. It wns announced that tho ^crowds were pre venting tho making. of'good time. Mr. Vanderbilt again made tho threat that If the people did not clear tho course, ho would stop the race. This was seat to all parts of the crowds. After the trou- ble with hls tires, LeBlon, of the Ameri can team, finally finished hls first lap la 67:321-8. ’ From the very start of ths race, the for* signers set the pace, covering tho courts nt breakneck speed. Jenatsy, the German, In hls 120-horsepower Mercedes car, cut out a utile a minute clip from the very out set, and flung Into the lead at the end of the first lap, only’ to lose it to Wag ner, the Frenchman In the lOO-borsepower Dnrracq, at the end of tbo second Jap. Wagner held hls lead in tho third lup as well. s The terrific pact was evsn faster than In the elimination race of two weeks ago. Jenatsy covered the first circuit of tho course In 30:02, while Wagner covered the second lap In 28:171-5, nnd Qie third only two seconds slower. This was nt hotter than 60 tulles an hour. Lands, the Itallau, amid a great burst of cheers, was the first to pass the graud-stand on the secoud lup. He had covered tho 69.52 miles in the remarkable tltno of 60:01. Jenatsy was right after him, seventeen seconds Inter; theu Wagner and Duray, the Frenchmen, drove past tho stand, their elapsed ‘time being such that It placed them first and second, respectively. In the race, with Lancia and Jenatsy next. After tho second lap, ths rain stopped falling, and there was more comfort oa the track. Georgia University Team Lines Up For First Game Special to The Georgian. 1'ulv^rslty of Georgia, Athens, Ga., Oct. 6. —Every nfternoon the fifty or sixty candi dates for the football team are out on Ilerty field practicing punting, falling on the ball and tackling the “dummy" which has been rigged up. on one end of the gridiron. Toward the latter part of the afternoon the 'Arsity lines up agnlnst the second team for a few minutes of hard scrimmage. Charlie Qox, the star of fhe 1904 eleven, Is assisting Coach Whitney nnd Trnlner Stouch lu the work of molding the great mass of raw material Into good shape. The men are showing up remarkably well, nnd while of course It Is much too early In the seasou for predictions. It Is safe to say that the Davldsou team will run up against a pretty tough proposition wheu she lines- up agalust Georgia in Athens October 13. Several very good men have reported on the field this week for practice who for va rious reasons were uot able to do so at the opening of college. Charles Phillips, of Atlanta, who played a star game as fullback for the scrubs Inst year, reported the early part of the week ond Is showing up | D splendid form, lie Is trying for fullback ou 'varsity nnd gives promise of plnylng a star gnmu this year.
