THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMB ER 28, 1906. With Thursday's Games Football Season Ends ^Edited By PERCY H. WHITING. >••••••••••••••••••••••••< | NOT NEWS, bWvMw^OUTHERHLEMUEJEETIN^ 1 SLATED FOR DEC. 21. 22 By PERCY H. WHITING. Sportiut; writers of the North, anil some of the middle West, gueh ns Sheridan, of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, have decided on the evidence of the recent Miehigan-Pennsylvania and Carlisle- Minnesntt games that the Bust is playing football which in infin itely superior to that of the West. It seems, however, as though the evidence so far presented is iusulfieieiit to secure a conviction. I. Pennsylvania of '(14 had beaten Michigan of the same year, or if they had done the same trick to Chicago last year, or if they had ever shown a willingness to tackle a really first class Western team, those of us wh(> do not happen t< be living in cither the North or the East just at present, beg to be excused for considering that, we have not yet been “shown.” That Vanderbilt game must be a hard pill for those Eastern ami Northern dopesters to swell- w. Fact is, some of them have not swallowed yet. Some of the New York . ..pers did not even print the score of the game. If they will lie kind enough to give Vanderbilt, a game with one of the’ big Eastern 'teams next ..car maybe something will drop up that way. Here’s hoping. The new rules are cutting more figure at the end of the sea son than they did at the start. When the seaitiii opened it was the straight, old-fashioned game all the way. As the teams per fected the forward pass mid tile on-side kiek, however .they be gan to use them more and more, and ill the last games of the season—when it is no,longer worth while to keep any secrets— they will undoubtedly be used even more than ever before. Mimm’IaI to Tilt? Georgian MtUe Hook, Nov, 28.—The iJ;iIhx of tin* nnnunl meeting of tlic Non them League, which wilt In* held at Birmingham. hare lieen changed from UfOMDlior 14-15 to De- readier 21-22. The change waa ninth* by President Hava na ugh. with the eminent of tin* club*, to accommodate the Atlanta club representa tive*, aoine of whom crib Id not have Iweu provedt on the 14th ntul 15th.

"We had souio little trouble with It and there were u few Inequalities," be said, "but at, the Hlrinlnghstu inciting | will make recommendation* to cover the defect* that we discovered during the past season." Report* of officers ttud the board of di rector* will lie made aud there will lie a general discussion a* to wdudlng up the af fair* of the deagnd for the 19J6 season. The pennant for 1906 will Imi awarded to Itirniingham. There I* still pending the claim of the New Orleans club aguluat the, Atlanta dub for $300 for alleged forfeiture of a game fluting the agitation nuent the so-called rubber ball*, and Now Orleans also has a claim of $100 against Montgomery for alleged tampering with Player Holly Indore the opening of the season. It |« not likely that Atlanta's charge* against the New* Orleans dub, alleging the use of rub ber hall*, will tie pressed, na Lowry Arnold announced before the dose of thn season that .tie would withdraw the charge*. The election of officer* for the 1907 aeasoti will also be held at the Ilirailiighnm meeting. A. A. C. ’s New Prosessional Has Arrived in Atlanta Jake Morse Dispenses Dope From Frozen Major Leagues ■ Rost«in. Nov. 28.—There Im* been ft great deni of disctiNslon about the own ing <tf the playing season. Now that 'the foul strike I* no longer discussed I and nil the club* of the American l<eugue Jii‘6 resigned to It, attention la paid to the date of the opening of the 'season. A* usual, the National League pre fers the curly opening—sny, Thursday, April 11—while the American l-cuguc I inclines to Sunday. April 14. as the (opening. It Is safe to predict that Thursday, the llth, will be the open ing day In both organisations, and that •the campaign will extend to Sunday, October 6. There I* no reason why the world's series should Influence tho date*. The condition* of the opening game of the championship were about us bud as they could very well be, and the last day waa tho best In the whole series. A general Interchange of games between the .clubs of the two major leagues would meet with little fuvor. The two clubs In Chicago, 8t. Louis and Philadelphia generally play togeth er, but there Is little Interest, here Un less the clubs both stand high In their respective organisations. The expenses would he out of ull proportion to the receipts In many cases, and again the weather conditions In the East ure lia ble to be extremely adverse, and In that case the patronage would not be t^t all alarming. Alexander Smith, America's premier golfer, arrived In Atlanta Tuesday and will at once lake charge of the Atlanta Athletic (Tub's coarse at Eust Luke. Mr. Hmltli hud an unfortunute acci dent just before he left New York, which will keep him from playing Ms best game for some little time to come. At the Nassau County (Tub, where he Is golf professional during the season in the East, he tried to play squash without donning the conventional rub- ber-soled shoes. As a result lie took a bud full and wrenched himself badly. He has been troubled with internal bleedings in consequence and was In u serious condition for a while, but is better now. Mr. Smith will go over the course for the first time Wednesday afternoon. Alex Findley, golfer and representa tive of a Hoston sporting goods firm, wus In Atlanta yesterday. Inspected the local golf course and then gave his opinion to George Adair, president of the club. Mr. Findley's opinion Is that the course is too long and ndvises that some of the last nine holes he cut down a trifle/ otherwise he was enthusi astic over the prospect of a great course there. He says that beyond any question the course, Including the putting greens, will be ready for the Houthern cham pionship next June and paid a high tribute lo the abilities of Superintend ent Pickering, who has had tho course In charge and who will continue to look after It this winter. 00000000000000000000000000 o o O JEFFRIE8' “EXCELSIOR.” t> O — 0 O The .hitdea of night were falling O O fait, a 0 Am thru' the town uf Burbank O 0 passed o O A farmer mult who used to tight, O O But who hoe found a new delight, O 0 Alfalfa. 0 O 0 0 Oh. stay my boy, McCarey ipoaus, O 0 We'll jsiv*■ you .10.00# bones; 0 What other game pays half so 0 O well, 0 0 The farmer answered with a yell— 0 Alfalfa. 0 O 0 For me no more the gong's loud 0 0 tiling, O O Tile punch, the purse, the wine, O O the gang— 0 O I.et others nettle prise ring rows O 0 And I’ll raise breakfast food for 0 0 cows— 0 0 Alfalfa. 0 0 —W.

Captain Furtlek, who t* probably the most popular football player that ever wore a Clcinsoii uniform, will play the gume of hi* life. It may In* hi* last game, it* he graduate* In June, and It would give him great satisfaction to "put It over" hi* old trainer, just "to show him." Furtlek ha* not been*up to hi* usual standard thl* year. In fact. It ha* been the least satisfactory year of hi* football career. Many n player, suffering from such Injuries a* lie has ear rled tills year, would have given up In j despair: but that quiet, dogged deter ml no 1 iton that has made him a terror to ninny a ; team lias held him to Ills post. He Is now | lu better condition than he Im* l*ceu dnr-1 lug this season. Derrick, the Idg fullback whom llclsmun • styled the quickest charger he had ever, set'll. Will likewise play hi* Inst game on Thanksgiving day. Derrick captained the team last year. Ills good nature stand- i him In gotsl stead, lie can take imidslmieiit I It hunt a squirm. The mlghtie ‘ - — •litIon nil tl * year and gets belter with every gniue. lie Is almost n giant, bnt he Is no well byllt that he never gets hurt. He la one of the bent ground-gainer* on the team. Once under way, he Is hard to stop. Gaston, at left tackle, I* quick,' sure and strong, lie get* Into play quickly, and once he get* his man, there I* nothing more doing. He Is a good ground gainer, too. lie 1* good at Interference, and often uinkcs It easy for the man with the ball. Itritt and Carter take turns at right guard, but with them it Is not n» the old darkey said of wo roads, "No dlffunce which you tek. you'll wish you'd er tuck lie yutluT.”* They are both big, strong men. Itritt surpasses In slxe, but Carter Is a little quicker. Keel hold* hi* own with the beat of them at the position of left gunrd. He Is quick nml sure, and always work* hard. Cioiiisou'h quarterback, McPadden, Is a wonder, lie 1* a rreshman, but he run* the game like a professional. When he can't get the ball curried to suit him, he calls eu himself, aud usually meets hi* own demand*. However. (Tenwon I* lucky In having several men who are goqd at quarter, and George Warren I* a* good as the best, lie I* the swiftest runner ou the team. Several time* this year he has startled the ouhtoker* by flashing through a broken field for a gain of 20 to 40 yard*, and occasionally for a touchdown. He haa t»ei» sick, but Iium been out of the hos pital for nearly two wok a, and hope* to play part of the time In Thursday'* game. If he doe* there will be some spectacular work seen. Allen, left half, I* a new man: In fact, was actually green at he first or tho sea son, but no mun on the team has developed more rapidly. He Is proving a good mate for Furtlek. and, while lie Is not so sure on defense as the peerless Furtlek, ho may be depended on to gain ground when he I* called on to run with the bull. He stnrt* with a full head of *team, and stops only when he Im* to. If any of these falter or fall, there are Nome substitute* anxious to get Into play, "mil" Latimer can relieve Furtlek or A‘l- len and give a good account of himself, lie can out l*oot uny man out he Clem- son team.
