The Savannah football team, pictures
of four members of which appear
above, is a bona tide amateur organiza
tion. It has gained considerable noto
riety by reason of the fact that It
stnndH practicAly alone in its class ns
a city teum. Much has been said about
professionalism, but Havannah has no
professionals.
The Blue and White team is com
posed of John Artley, captuin; Will
Artley, George Butler, Joe Itosslter, Joe
Black. Berdie Hullivan. Harry All. Hu.
watebeck. Hhuey, Seely, Morgan, Mon
roe. Naglor, Powers. Wortham, Ous
Smith, Cornwell, Palmer and Colquitt.
George Butler formerly pluyed quar
terback on T^’h and Berdie Sullivan
played end on the same team: Kosslter
and Black ployed on Georgia, before
which time, however, they won dis
tinction on the Savannah team;
Shuey was a member of V. P. 1. two
Georgia's squad in 1897, and In 1898
made the Southern record for the mile
run. which he still holds.
The team averages about 175 pounds
in weight. Not having had the ad
vantages of a coach, and being obliged
to confine their pructlces to two nights
a week, go into their games handi
capped.
The record of the team for the pres
ent year Is:
November u—Savannah, 2!*: Flori
da, 0.
November 13—Havannah, 27; Stetson
University, 0.
November 29—Savannah. 39; Jack
sonville. 0.
December 1—Savannah. 12; Geor
gia, 0.
The season begins In Savannah In
November and ends January 1. The
team is not yet in first-class shape,
but will be by Christmas, when they
have their hardest game with an Ag
gregation representing Charleston.
The record for seven years shows
that Savannah has made t>3H points
to her opponents' 6. An effort will be
made to organize euriier next year
and play any colleges which will play.

The college football teams in-Georgia did not win any cham
pionships this year and the entire state will not furnish more
than one All-S. I. A. A. football player.
But you have to hand it to them for perseverance, hard work,
honest effort and file-tested grit.
Tech started off the season equipped largely with au athletic
field and coach. Also there was a very small amount of footall
“material.”
How to combine the three into a football team which should
uphold the athletic honors of Tech was the question.
The wonders Hcisraan wrought have been evident all the
season. He dug up a quarter-back off the baseball team. He
operated on a punting end and brought him hack to college. He
made a couple of good half-backs out of very light, and in one
ease very new, material. lie developed one full back, saw him
ruled out by the S. I. A. A. and then developed another. He
pieced together a line out of athletic odds and ends and it held
through the season ns well as most lines mnde nut of better ma
terial.

The Tech team lost three games but never, perhaps, 1ms it had
a more creditable season. The victories came from hard train

A local enthusiast, well blessed In

than probable that a game will be ar

A team liko the one this year may not win absolutely the
highest honors, but it is laying u foundation oil which future
teams can bo built-
Ami the results will be seen in no greater distance into the
future than tho fall of 1907.
Down in Athens there lias been another plucky football
fight. Hampered by lack of good material, handicapped by a
"paat,” Georgia, under the guidance of Coach Whitney, built up
a team which played fair, fast football and wound up its col
lege season with a victory over its proverbial enemy—-Auburn.
At Mercer tho fight was of even a more up-hill character.
Coaeh Tarr opened his season with nothing at all but a deter
mination to build up a good team.
Of course lie. eould not hope to turn out a winner in one
year, butlie built up u team that did well.
At Dahlouega there was another hard fight to get football
results; but.there,,11s at the other Georgia colleges, the players
swung to it with a will and finally, with the aid of Coach Craw
ford and nTof of hard work, turned out a - tenm which went
through tlie seasbn in a highly creditable manner.
Tlie Georgia football season of llHIti has not been the most
brilliant on record.' But it has been one which has done much
toward the up building of football—and honest athletics of all
kinds.

Dan Blake gets Ills position at half

Shipp also received the vote of Quill,
but the Hewanee coach chose to knock
Craig off to make a place for the ex- j
Mooney school star.
And just at the wind-up attention is called to the fact that not
a man on a Georgia team was seriously injured in a a football
game this year and no man on any visiting team was badly hurt.
As far as Georgia is coneerncd “debmtalized football” is a
success.
