Last Half Sherlock, KiTpatriok and Thomasson,

Herlong and Dobson Best 'For Furman
BY AUBURN OWENS.
Two gladiators of the gridiron, Georgia and Furman,
met in the arena here Saturday before six thousand en
thusiastic football fans and after sixty minutes of bloody
grappling, the Red J\nd Black of Georgia emerged from
the conflict victorious over the Purple and White of Fur
man by 23-0.
The sultry weather, none too ideal for play, mili
tated against the best football that the two teams were
capable of dispensing, but despite this mutual handicap,
both teams fought with all the ferocity and never-say-die
spirit that has always characterized the play of both
elevens in the football history of the two institutions.
Before as colorful a gathering as ever assembled to wit
ness an athletic event in the South the two elevens went
into the fray with but a single thought and battled with
all the courage and gallantry of the knights of old.
AN EVEN BREAK
IN FIRST HALF.
The first half resulted in a draw
for both teams, excep that the
HulUloqs registered a safety in the
first three minutes of play when,
with the hall in possession of Fur
man on their one-yard line, Cole
man, the center, mad#a wild pass
over Herlong's head back of the
wire enclosure, and, according to
the ground rules, the play was a
safety for Georgia, with two points,
liotli teams resorted to Fabian tac
tics during the first quarter and
it was only toward the end of the
second that either began to open
up with an effective offensive. Bth
lines were practically inpenetrable
during this half and when the time
keeper's pistol announced the end
it appeared as if neither team would
he able to score on the other. The
hall was In midfield when the first
half ended.
The Bulldogs came hack upon
tne field in the last halt lighting
mad at their repulse by the Furman
defense. Furman licked off forty
yards to Thomason, who turned
fifteen.
The Bulldogs then began their
march down the field for seventy
five yards that netted them their
first touchdown. After Kilpatrick
had darted around right end for
nine yards, Sherlock, of Augusta,
on the next play, got away fpr
thirty-five yards by an amazing
end-run around the same end,
placing the ball on Furman's thir
ty-three yard line. The Bulldog
attack was halted here temporarily,
but after a series of desperate line
plunges, Kilpatrick flipped a short
pass to Thomason over the goal
line for the Ited and Black's first
counter. Moore kicked the goal,
making the stand 9-0 in Georgia's
favor. The third quarter ended
without any further scoring, with
tli# ball on Georgia's forty-nino
yard-line.
KILPATRICK GOES
THROUGH HURRICANE.
During the first five minutes of
the last quarter the ball was rushed
back and forth without any ap
preciable gain by either team. But,
like a bolt out of a clear sky. after
the Bulldogs had forced the Hurrl
(ane to punt, and with the ball in
Georgia's possession on their thir
ty-five yard line, Kilpatrick on an
off-tackle play, broke through Fur
man’s rush line and then eluded the
Purple and White's secondary de
fense and raced, sixty-nine yards for
Georgia's second touchdown. This
was undoubtedly the greatest indi
vidual play of the entire game,
which, in large part, made possible
by an impenetrable interference of
the Bulldog backs. Moore kicked
his second goal after touchsdown.
Score, Georgia 16, Furman 0. Fur
man then kicked off the Georgia
goal-line. The ball was brought
out to the tw’enty-yard line by some
beautiful broken-field running by
Kilpatrick. The Bulldog offensive
now began to function again and
registered two first-downs before
the Furman line stiffened and held
them for downs, forcing the Bull
dog kicker to punt. Moore’s spiral
went out of bounds In midfield
The Hurricane also found their op
ponents line Impregnable and on
the fourth down Herlong punted to
Georgia's twenty-five yard line. The
Bulldogs then rushed the pigskin
to their forty-eight yard-line. Then
another Bulldog, Sherlock, and In
cidentally a home product, broke
into the limelight when he sprint
ed around left end ror fifty-two
ya-ds and a touchdown. Morton
then kicked the goal. The score
than stood 28-0 in Georgia's favor,
which was the final score of the
ga The final whistle blew soon after
with the ball In Furman’s possess
ion on their twenty-yard line.
ALL WERE HEROES
tN THE CONFLICT.
To mention all the Individual he
roes of this hectic conflict would
almost amount to giving the line-up
and substitutions of the two teams,
so gallantly did both the vanquished
and conquerers fight for the glory
that would accrue to their Alma
Mater by victory. The Hurricane

held the Bulldogs on even terms
during the greater part of the first
half and a portion of the third
quarter. However, toward the last,
the unusual reserve strength of the
to wear them down
and the fleet-footed Georgia back
field began to skirt the ends and
dart through holes in the lines for
incredible gains, which resulted for
three touchdowns, all in the last
half.
FURMAN NEEDS
NO. APOLOGY
The Furman team needs no
apology for their rather one-sided
defeat at the hands of the Bull
dogs, neither asking or giving any
quarter during the entire time the
battle waged. Their loss may in part
be accounted for by the fact that
several of their best defense men
were forced out of the game on
account of injuries, due to their
hard playing. The most keenly felt
loss sustained, by the Furman
eleven was when Harrell and' Craw'-
ford were completely knocked out
and had to be carried from the field
in the arms of their comrades.
These two untoward happenings
tended to tear down the morale of
the Hurricane and toward the last
it was hardly more than a gentle
breeze that was wafted against tTie
big red line of the Bulldogs. An
other telling factor that may be as
signed to account for the Purple
and White defeat was the never
ending stream of reserves that were
sent in at various strategic mo
ments by the Georgia mentor,
nearly all of whom were as good as
their predecessors. Particularly was
this true when Thomason was sent
In for Randall at the beginning of
the second half. The presenco of
this big boy in the line-up seemed
to instill new fight and determina
tion Into the Bulldog attack and
they were not long in pushing over
touchdown ijfter the last
half opened.
“IKEY” SHERLOCK
STRUTS' HIS STUFF
The brightest lights In Georgia’s
galaxy in beating Furman were
Kilpatrick. Sherlock and Thoma
son in the hackfield ane Thompson.
Taylor. Luckey and Cuvren in the
line, Sherlock, Augusta's contribu
tion to the Red and Black bid for
Southern football honors this year

fore his army of home-town ad
mirers strutting his stuff In grand
style to the sorrow of the opposing
team. His great fifty-yard run in
the fourth quarter was. In the opin
ion of practically all present, one
of the two greatest individual ef
forts of the day. Another no less
brighter lumintry In the Red and
Black constellation was Buter Kil
patrick whose sensatlcnal sixty
yard dash for a touchdown through
the entire Furman team, was the
other outstanding play of the after
noon. He also gained more than
his pro rata share of the Bulldog's
yardage against the losers ami was
a bear on the defense. Big J, D.
Thomason, going Into the game
with a bruised shoulder, was the
nemesis of the Furman crew and
was responslb'e for scoring Geor
gia’s first touchdown after the Hur
ricane had thrown back the Bull
dog backs all during the first half.
Smack Thompson and Curran,
Georgia’s wlngmen. were a tower

Not all the stars of the game were
in the Georgians line-up. however,
not by any means. the line
and backfleld of the Hurrlcance
played a stellar game during three
fourths of the game and held their
heavier opponents In check during

Vampire Surrenders
to “Subtle Siren” As
Screen Styles Change
ax jjflagjk w
HELEN LEE WAUTHING
NEW YORK.—Exit the vamp!
Enter the enchantress!
Cinema styles are changing again.
The exotic, sensuous siren still
clings precariously to her "rag and
a bone and a hank of hair,” but the
call has been sounded for more sub
tle and distinctive beauty.
After some years of experiment
ing with the species vampire the
admission is timidly being made
that vampires are by no means in
fallible in enticement.
A good enchantress, with surface
charm and soft distinction, with
angelic expression and large ap
pealing eyes, is worth an entire
ballroom of more lurid lurers.
The entchantrcss, like the Cana
dian mounted police, can always
"bring back her man,” while the
vampire is more likely to leave him
in the morgue or the penitentiary.
And so, just ns Theda Bara ap
peared in the van of a long parade
of vampires, there now comes Helen
Lee Worthing to start the 1924
styles in enchantresses.
"You know wives would never be
one-half as afraid of vamps as they
would be of enchantresses,” says
Miss Worthing. "At best, a vamp
brought out the worst in a man.
but unless he went to the gutter or
to jail he was very likely to see
how ridiculous was his attachment.
"Furthermore if a hero is really
going to be a hero he can’t keep on
falling for a very obvious assort
ment of make-up, with slinking
frocks and blackened eyelashes.
If he must be lured audiences pre
fer that he select a woman of some
itnelligence and charm—particular
ly If he has an attr.actlve wife.
"A final advantage of the en
chantress Is that she can fall In
love, or get married like anybody
else. That isn’t so easy for a vamp,
In fact, it’s almost Impossible.”
So, girls, If you want to be a
1924 model "dangerous child" lay
oft the vamping and take a course
in enchanting.

Davis States Signs Point
to Defeat of Republicans
In Congress and Senate
ST. LOUIS. Speaking in- East
St. Louis, Ills., Saturday afternoon,
and in St. Louis, Mo., Saturday
night, John W. Davis, Democratic
presidential candidate, declared
that "unless the signs of the times
are playing false, there is no pos
sibly of the election year of a
Republican congress and a Repub
lican senate.”
"And, if there were,” he said,
"you would find repeated in both
these bodies ns soon as they were
called in session, either regular or
special, the same sorry spectacle of
party division and party impotence
that has rendered this country rud-,
derless and lenderless for the last
three and one half years.
"The one avenue through which
the American people might secure
harmonious government.” Mr. Davis
"was beyond peradventure, the de
mocracy.1 ’
“I suggest t,o the American peo
ple,” he said, "that there Is but one
avenue through which you may se
cure, for the next quadrennial
period a government acting in har
mony, in uniformity and in unison:
thfre Is but one party today that
stands before the American people
harmonious and undivided. There
is but one party that marches in
serried ranks and military order,
and that party is, beyond perad
venture. the democracy.”
Mr. Davis expressed the hope
that If a Democrat be elected to
the presidency he would be given
Democratic and house.
STRESSES NEED
OF PARTY GROUPS
"And” he continued, "It Is not a
matter of pure partisanship, for all
experiences prove in this country
that our government can only
function well when one and the
same polltcal party is In control at
both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
“No single man or woman in this
country Is potent or strong enough
standing alone and unaided, to fix
the course or conduct of this gov
ernment. We must associate our
selves Into party groups.
"We must give not only authority,
we must place responsibility on
them. And if It is your purpose to
have party government in this
country, you must place parties in
power and you must hold them to
strict responsibility for use they
make of it.”
"For the last three and one half
years,” Mr. Davis told his audience,
"the wheels of government have
ben running In the opposite direc
tions. Congress, at one end of
Pennsylvania Avenue, has been
pulling one way,” he said, "and the
executive at the other end has been
either marking time or working In
a contrary way to that of the legis
lature branch of the government
"And,” the nominee said, "that
Is not good government.”

HOLD HIGHER RATES
FOR FIRE INSURANCE
, IN S.C. JUSTIFIABLE
COLUMBIA, S. C. —Higher fire
insurance rates in South Carolina,
than those in effect in North
Carolina are Justllied by the higher
percentage of the premiums paid
for tire losses In this stale, llie state
Insurance commission held In an
order made public Saturday.
The order, a copy of which was
tiled in the office of Governor
Thomas G. McLeod, reversed an
order Issued by John J. McMahan,
state insurance commission' r, on
August 2, Inst, directing that the
rates on certain classes of property
in this state be held discriminatory
as compared with rates on the snmo
elasses of property In North Caro
lina.
At the same time the order re
versed and declared vacated a sup
plementary order Issued by the
commissioner making It mandatory
upon the Are insurance companies
to remove certain nlb’ged discri
minations in rates on certain
classes of dwellings In the eounlrv.
These rates, the commissioner
claimed, were unreasonably ldgb
eompnrod with those on the same
classes of property In rltles or
towns.
Hearing of arguments by nttor
nevs for the Insurance companies
and by the commissioner himself
was held bv the commission on
September 3ft. It. was stated In the
order that after careful considera

reached the decision that no such

"The evidence submitted show
