I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22.1906. Indians on Warpath Against Vandy -Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. iMHIHIMMfHI KMNMMMHMMM NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS IIHHtlMMHMtl Georgia anti Auburn, it apppimi, intend playing tbeir Tluinka- giving «lay games in Atlanta in tho future, after this ‘year. Ar rangements are being made to secure Piedmont park. Up to 1904 Georgia and Auburn met annually in Atlanta on . Thanksgiving day, and the game was regarded the supreme athletic event of the year. But that was before Tech’s phenomenal rise in college spurt. In 1904 a three-year agreement was effected between Tech and Georgia, by which Tech was to play its Thanksgiving day game in Atlanta without competition, Georgia and Auburn going to Macon. It may he that the return of Georgia and Auburn to Atlanta will renew the bitter feeling that formerly existed between the red and black and the old gold and white. It is certain that both teams will suffer financially if the two games are played here at the same time. The three-year agreement expires this year. Now is the time for Tech and Georgia to revise their old plans of procedure and arrange them so that they will meet on Thanks giving day in Atlanta. This will not necessitate Georgia's giving up playing Auburn, or Tech’s breaking with Clemson. These games may be played ear lier in the season. Georgia and Auburn could alternate their games between At lanta, or Macon, and Birmingham; Tech and Clemson could alter nate between Atlanta and Columbia. Coach Williams of Clemson Has Had Successful Career Georgia and Teeli are natural rivals; their meeting should be the most important game of the year for each. It should be played on Thanksgiving day. And Auburn tlnds Alabama her natural rival, just as Clemson had rather lick South Carolina College than any other.

Tech Will Leave Friday For Macon to Play Mercer The laat big guine for Tech occur* on Turkey Day. Tech and Clemson battle tor supremacy that day, and you can lay a bet with big odda that It will be a battle from the first call to the final blow of “time’s up.” In 1904 Helsman's, first year at Tech, he played his old team to a tie—0 to 0. Last seasan was a victory for the Yel low Jackets. This season’s game prom ises to be one of the greatest of the three. * The accompanying picture la of Clemson'* coach, C. It. Williama. who will do his best to defeat his old rival In the game, Helsman, he having turn ed tWb trick once. Mr. Williams first became prominent In footb&ll circles at 8t. Albans, Va., a prep school In Virginia known for the line athletic teams always turned out. After playing there for Several years he went to the University of Virginia. He played four years at end on thla team, one of-the lightest men who ever made the tearti. The South Carolina College was fortunate to secure Mr. Williama for the season of 1902. Hla success with that team was a topic discussed throughout football circles In the South. With that team he was able to defeat Clemson (coached by Helsman, now at Tech), which hitherto had defeated every opiamen by a large score. From thla moment Mr. Wil liams' name as a coach was made. He returned to Curollna the next year and the team had another successful sea son. I^nst season Mr. Williams coached Davidson, and, with a light team work ed out a highly successful season, hold ing North Carolina to o-o and defeat ing the N. C.

Hint lias befallen Ills effort*. He Is a member of the hoard of officials for the middle Atlantic states, and has been called on several times this sen to officiate at some of the games In the East. Mercer Hopes to Score Against Tech Saturday It looks as though Tech's athletic authorities hulldcd wisely Indeed when they plunned Saturday's game with Mercer. Following Immediately upon the hard game with Vanderbilt last Saturday, the weather this week has been so warm as to make hard practice practically Impossible, that Tech's supporters are feeling better tlmn If the trami'jrere scheduled for a gruelling content on Saturday. The gume with Mercer, while in no !*rlse underestimated by Tech, will be 'merely practice, as compared with the I one which faces them just one week from today. Of course. Tech expects to win from Mercer, but it Is hardly thought that any speclul attempt will be made to run up a big score. Ilels- man will probably use a good many of his strong second 'varsity Vavers, thus {avoiding any possibility o? injury to )hls best men. Reports from Macon In- jdlcste that Mercer Is training hard, land a desperate effort will be made to mold Tech to a lower score than that Iwhlch Georgia made against the Ma con hoys. Practice has been contin uous »it Tech Held all this week, but muddy grounds and warm weather have combined to prevent any very strenuous work. The same reports come from Macon, but you can Just put It down that the Baptists will be right there with the best they have In their shop Saturday, and will endeav or to give the Yellow Jackets a warm rccepttop. The game In many features resem bles 'that of last Saturday, except that Tech Is to play the star role this time, while the Macon boys’ best efforts will be to keep the score down as much ns possible and to score If they can. Tech Is expecting to play before a good-slsed audience, as this Is the first time the inhabitants of the Central City have had an opportunity to see the Yellow Jackets at work. It ha* been a good many years since one of Hels- man’s football teams has played In Macon, and a large crowd Is expected to turn out to see the game. Tech team will probably go down Friday afternoon to get n good night's rest and be In shape for the game Satur day. Georgia and Tennessee Hold Each Other to Naught Bpeiial to The Georgian. Athens, Go., Nov. 22.—In one of the prettiest games of football seen here for some time, the football team of Georgia and the champions of the Uni versity of Tennessee struggled fiercely up and down the Held without running up a point against one another. Geor gia had the better of the argument In most of the game, hut they were unable to score. Georgia's goal line was never In danger, however, while Georgia crossed Tennessee's line on two different occa sions, which Referee Blake did not al low as touchdowns. The interference of the crowd In one case and the fact that the ball was out of bounds In the other, were the reasons assigned by tho referee for hla rulings. Georgia also made a safety, but in this case also tho ruling was against her, as It was claimed that the men had culled down. Georgia put up the best ball they have played this season. Every mem ber of the team was there with the goods. Tennessee’s men were also "all to the candy.” For Georgia. Harold Ketron at cen ter starred; Thurman's tackling was sure and terrific, while Harman and Hodgson did great work In returning punts. Raoul’s line bucking proved u sure ground-gainer for Georgia. For Tennessee. Perry at fullback did star work. Lourks* punting was a fea ture of the game. Leach at light end Of Course THE STANDARD OF PURITY. Special to The thsirglan. Macon, Ga., Nov. 22.—The Mercer football squad is hard at work this week preparing for the game with Tech next Saturday. of course, her chances are very slim In regard to winning the game, hut nevertheless this does not discourage her In the least. She Is going In the game to give Tech u hard run for her money, and the probabilities are that they will come near scoring against Helsman's sturdy bunch of warriors. Coach Turr is very much encouraged ut the progress of the squad so far, and It Is ihore than probable that the team will make a better showing against Tech than Is expected. For a team’s first year upon tho gridiron Mercer has done exceedingly well, and there Is no doubt but that she will put out one of the best tcums In the state next seuson. oooooooooooooooooooooooooo O O O HARVARD TEAM CHEERED O O BY 1,000 8TUDENT8.

To the Sporting Editor of The Geor gian: In the best game of football ever seen on the Gordon field the Chatta nooga High School met defeat at the bunds of the Prep champions of Geor gia In a score of 17 to 0. The score would Indicate that It was a one-sided contest, but this was not the case. The Chattanooga team Is the best which was ever on the Gordon field, with the exception of Mooney, of Tennessee. Often the Chattanooga boys were within striking distance of the goal line, when the Gordon team, with the grit for which they are noted over this entire country, would rally and stop the terrific bucks and end plunges of their adversaries. The great feature of the game was the 75-yard run of Captain Williams and a touchdown— the longest run ever made on this field. The hero of the game was Prout. of the Gordon team, who covered fullback po sition for the first time. Prout is the heaviest man on the Gordon team, and It waajuvdlcted that he could not get air enough Into his lungs to last him through the game. But he was there* and delivered 3»> and 40-yard gains, sometimes in succession. Once he tore through Chattanooga’s center and car ried what looked like their entire team up the field, tearing like a steam NAT KAISER & CO. Bargain* in unredeemed Dia monds.

New Orleans, I-a., Nov. 22.—The baseball people of the Crescant City are up in the air as a result of the in troduction of an ordinance In the city council, the provisions of which pro hibit the location of baseball parks within certain distances from certain streets. The meusure Is not yet a law, however, and It Is proposed to fight against its passage. The New’ Orleans Baseball Associa tion has purchased a fine piece of ground within the prescribed limits— the purchase was made before the or dinance was Introduced and evidently caused the measure’s Introduction—and It Is proposed to construct thereon one of the finest baseball parks In the country. Forty-seven thousand dol lars was paid for the ground and the Improvements that are proposed would cause an additional outlay of $40,000. It was some time ago decided to leave Athletic park, the present league grounds, but It may be another season before the removal takes place. If the lawr goes Into effect the association will have to hunt up another locullty, which would mean an out-of-the-wny place because the terms of the ordi nance will prevent Its location on any where near the principal street car lines TOURNAMENT POSTPONED Special to Tlie Georgian.
