1 I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, TUESDAY, NUVKMBER 27.19CK>. Football Players Getting Ready For Finish ^Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. THE TEAM WHICH TACKLES TECH THURSDAY Latest photograph of Clemson players, who appear on Tech field Thursday in the final game of the season. •iMllMee»eesiessssess»sss NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS | !••••••••••••••••••••••• By PERCY H. WHITING. Why cmi’t the Tech management frame it up with Vanderbilt lo play in Atlanta again next anaaont According to the prcacnt con tract the next game ia due in Naahvillc. Atlanta people want to ace the game at Tech Park. The Van- ; dcrbilt team ia something of a show these days and promises to be even more so next season with only one man—Dan Wake—off this year's team and with tile possibility that Hob Patterson and Ed Hamilton will be back again. * - This game would be a certain financial success in Atlanta. The crowd which braved an awful rain-storm Nov. T7 to see the Conumi- i dures play indicated what the attendance at a Vanderbilt game would . be in good weather. In Nashville il is doubtful if a Tcch-Vandcrhilt game would pay expenses. At baseball Tech is a good drawing card there, but not at football. It takes the Indinns or Scwauce to draw out the eiitlui- I siasts and the cjithusinsm there. It is not at all certain that Vanderbilt would consent to change the location of the game from Nashville to Atlanta. If the (loinmo- dores lake trips to both Ann Arbor mid Chicago—us now seems likely il would lie impossible for them to make such a change, for the two northern trips would exhaust all the available time of the Vanderbilt team. ; However, it’s worth risking. It would ba financially desirable for ; both teams and besides Atlanta wunts to see the game. The writer’s attention has been called to the fact that especial | mention of Owsley Manier’s playing was left out of the write-up or ! the Vandy-“Injuns” game. This was most distinctly duo to an oversight. No mail on the | team—save Bob Blake, who scored the only points—was more de- ’ serving of credit. These two placers arc undoubtedly the best on i the Vanderbilt team and if over a' Southern college has turned out j 'All-American inaterinl these two men are the said material. They will 1 both appear in every all-S. I. A. A. team of the year. Of eourso it is hard to expect good sportsmanlike conduct from i a band of red Indians, but tho Carlislo howl that the team was not ! in condition when it tackled Vanderbilt is sickening, even considering Hthc source. Just how. tho.Indiuus showed their alleged “poor form” is hnrd to telL They started faster, bucked and rah harder, tackled more viciously aud more certainly than any team which ever played in Nashville. They-were just smothered by superior playing strength, end that.’s hqw.they happened to lose. 1 After the game was over it is likely that they did not feel their 'best. They bad been outplayed and it hurt. , But it is lium'opera to put up that variety of a post-mortem howl. JOCKEY MILLER BUYS A BUBBLE Washington, Nov. 26.—Jockey "Marvelous" Miller bought an automo bile here today. Packy Fitzsimmons, the boy’s hooking agent, did the purchasing, the order going to a Chicago house. The understanding was that the machine be delivered and put In funning order for Miller at San l/Sno * C ° ° n ° r bcfnre l,ec<,,nber 18- The price Is stated to have been Miller, a week ago, had the famous "Red Flyer," used by Young Cor bett In heyday on the coast, offered to him at a song, but the little fellow insisted on u new one. "None of the Jockeys will have to wulk down to the ferry this year” declared Miller before the opening race, meaning thut the new car would be at their disposal each night after the close of racing at Oakland. MIHor leaves for the coast Saturday night, where he will ride for Il Williams t hrnnirh flu* wlulpr W’lill** IUIIIop l»uu ia.._ .. or...l Tom Williams through the winter. While Miller has gone In for a”"bufi- hle." he haa not neglected to Invest some of tils enormous winnings In a more substantial,»ay. Just before leaving New York hls attorney took , ... ..... reported price of cottage home at Gravesend for Miller at over u tile 116,0611. > Miller’s great work on tlin track on Saturday seemed an advertise ment. for the largest crowd of this season was at the track yesterday aft ernoon. , . No fewer than 1,000 of the army of those who won on Miller's mounts were there, whereas the usual Monday attendance of racegoers lit about 2.500. DECATUR TEAM BEAT G. M. A. DONALD FRASER WON A GREAT BATTLE FROM COLLEGE PARK BOYS. The prep game at Piedmont Pork Monday afternoon between tJ. M. A. and Donald Fraser resulted In a clear Victory .for Donald Fraser. The scoro was 6 to 0. At no time In the gaino wus tlte outcome In doubt, for Donald Fraser's quick end tuna and excellent tackling showed early how the game was going. The ball was in Cl. M. A.'s territory almost the entire tittle. When tlte game was called Donald Fruser had the ball within two yards of (I. M. A.'s goal line, and six seconds more would perhHps have meant un- other touchdown for Donald Fraser. The Intense rivalry between the two schools for tho post six or eight yean rendered the contest all the more In teresttng. If rooting could huvo wot the game for Q. M. A. they would hove had It, for tlte cadet boys made the welkin ring. However. Donuld Fra ser's supporters were equally zealous, and their enthusiasm stirred the team to do sonto tine work. Courtrlght and c’ox simply outplayed tho O. M. A. ends, Cox's tackling nnd Jenkins' fast running being the fea tures of the game. Only four weeks ago O. M. A. defeat ed Donald-Fraser badly. Recent prac tice- lias put the latter Into good shape, and they now seem tp be playing to .a great finish. They try lances with the Hoys’ High school Wednesday afternoon at Pied mont Park.
