30. Playing in mid season form the iCtadel sur-prised the Georgia university football team, holding the Crackars to six to nothing in the opening game of the season here today. Georgia's play was ragged throughout. ARMY WINS 3 TO 0 Lebanon Valley Displayed Wonderful Defense WEST. POINT, N.

Sept 30. The Army won the first contest of Us season from 'Lebanon Valley college today 3 to 0. The collegians displayed wonderful defense. Oliphant was the most consistent ground gainer for the army. ing behind the goal line when he received the ball, which was a high, perfect toss from the ten yard line.

Both teams tackled well, and both played clean football. Furman appeared heavier than Clemson, and, if that game be a correct Index, Captain Gressette, of Furman, is the most powerful man on either team. "Bill" is a wonder at football. He has the weight, the hard muscles, and better still, the nerve. He plunges with all his might is good at shaking oft an opponent good at interference.

He has not the speed of the fleet footed Speer, other half back. In individual playing, perhaps Harris, Hart, Harmon- and Banks de- serve the stellar honors for Clemson; while the Furman boys who most distinguished themselves, were Greasette, speer, Drake, Weston and Jeter. Not a man on either team merits any knocking, for all played well. Comparing the result with the anticipated result, that was a Furman victory. Assuming equality of teams, it was Clemson's with mild qualifications made necessary by the breaks of that fickle thing known as luck.

At the crucible stage of tho game, Drake, as game a quarter back as Furman ha ever had, hurt his shoulder, and had to retire in favor of McMannaway. Fly in the Ointment The only unpleasant feature of the game occurred between the halves when the two teams repaired to resting places, to converse with their respective coaches. The Clemson etud-ent body started parading around the field, which was exactly what they should havo done. But the boys, thoughtlessly, no doubt, jammed and crowded about the Furman team so that much dust was kicked up, and the fresh air shut out. Jeering was freely indulged In, and the whole procedure being contrary to what is generally expected in good sportsmanship, brought forth the wnith of Springer, one of the time keepers, and himself a football star.

He proceeded to bawl the Clemson boys out, and went into the crowd after one who talked back to him. Some little excitement was caused, but the trouble soon subsided, when several men, apparently Clemson men, remonstrated with the cadets and asked them to dear away from the Furman team. When Drake was hurt, the Clemson boys showed a reverse spirit, and gave him some rousing cheers. Honor to Ck-mson. Clemson fought hard for what she got vesterday.

so deserves honor for the victory. She met a foe worthy of her best efforts, and only by her best efforts did she win. The game, however, disappointed many of tho Clemson enthusiastic, who had, In consonant with others, looked for a big score. The work of Referee Holmes and Cmpire Julian, former secretary of the Greenville Y. M.

O. A. and latter Rector of Christ Kpiscopal church, gave perfect satisfaction. There was but little penalizing during the game, and such as there was, was about evenly divided, and mostly for offside plays. Tho quarters were twelve minutes each.

Mu.st Keep Barron. Immediately after the game yesterday a movement wm started among friends to keep Coach Barron, who has, with Laval, developed a powerful football machine for Furman. Barron's contract was for thirty days, only, but ho has showed such wonderful ability that Furman men wish to keep him for "the remainder of this season, at least. Money was promised toward his salary, If ho will consent to remain in Greenville, and give to Furman the advantage of his football experience. He and Lava are both worthy of the highest praise for the remarkably strong team they have turned out The material which they have, especially the back field material, is worthy of a much larger institution than Furman.

Furman failed to defeat the Clem son Tigers yesterday but notwith standing this fact, the Furman team pinned a feather In Its cap that will wave for many a day to come. Furman didn't exactly play rings around Clemson, either; but it is a fact, admitted by a number of Clemson men with whom the writer talked, that Furman outplayed the powerful Ti-grs In almost every department of the game.

Taking the game of yesterday as a basis for judgment, Furman has the better team. In fln-nesse if there be any such thing in football Clemson has the edge on tho local boys. But in straightout football, the Tigers haven't a thing on Furman, and, Indeed, did not play such good football yesterday, even on their own grounds, as did Furman. The score was seven to six, with the Tigers holding the seven, thanks to that old jinx, and to two of the most heart-rending fumbles that ever dampened the spirits of any football enthusiasts. Much of the time Furman kept the bail in Clemson's territory, and with the exception of the last quarter, Furman showed the stronger offense.

In Interference Clemson was strong at first, but soon the. Furman boys got in the habit of breaking through the line and stopping the would-be end runs. The game was called at four o'clock and Furman received the first kick off. Then came the grand the unexpected feat that astonished and delighted the Furman supporters. Without losing the ball, Furman drove along, like the Allies driving toward Combles, until the goal line was crossed.

This touchdown was earned earned by straight out, old-faKhioned, line bucking football, In which Captain Bill Gressette time and again went through the Clemson line of defense like a Brltum "tank" through Teutonic U-enches. "Bill" was ably supported by Spcer The Swift, and by nine other as good football players as ever caused the Furman-Ites to yell and shout. In golC a handicap is given the weaker player. In football there is no stated handicap, but it is quite generally understood among the fans that a team must be judged by other teams of its class, and it had not been thought that Furman could do better than hold Clemson to some' thirty or forty points. There are today in Greenville some wiser but poorer men who pn Saturday held to such notions.

"The hundreds of people who went to see the opening game of the season at Riggs field. Clemson College, went there expecting to see a battle In which Furman was striving to keep down Clemson's score. But they saw a battle in which tho Tigers were fighting with all their might to nose out a victory, and even despite, the strenuous efforts, the Tigers would have gone doyn in defeat but for two fumbles, or one fumble, and but for a beautiful forward pass. Six times the Tigers attempted forward passes, and four times did they fail. Once the Tigers tried to kick a field goal, but failed there, too.

Many times the tigers tried to rush tho Furman line, but with small effect, usually. But the Clemson men had a rabbit's foot somewhere, and also had more experience than Furman. Speer, one of the most promising half backs seen hereabouts in many seasons, failed to kick goal after Furman's touchdown. Clemson, after her touchdown, which came In the last three minutes of play was more, fortunate, and Brown's kick proved accurate, giving the Tigers one more point and the game. Furman should have scored, barring the unexpected, at least one more touchdown.

Hut Gressette, the mighty one, fumbled on the te yard line, and on one other occasion Furman lost the bill when within reach of the goal. The play which was most obviously costly to Furman, however, and' which saddened the hearts of the Furman rooters, and which, also, was recognized by the cooler onlookers, as the pivotal play of the game, was when Clemson punted on a fourth down In the last quarter, and Speer dropped tho punt, thereby allowing Cleinsnn to retain the ball as a Tiger fell on It. The touchdown grew out of this play. It was hard luck for Furman'a only serious misplays to result so disastrously. No error with the basos full ever caused more trouble in a baseball game, than did the dropping of that punt.

Clemson, quick to improve every opportunity, and playing a fine game of football, made tho most of the mistakes of her enemy, and It ts well for theTigers that, "this was true, for but for the mistakes, Clemson would have been blanked. However, It's a part of good football not to grumble, so Furman really lost, thought it must be said that Fortune, supposedly blind, seemed to look a little smilingly on the Tigers' Interests. i Clemson's team Is fast, especially on end runs, and hor Interference Is at times brilliant. On ttrla point, Clemson bested Furman. But In ground gaining by line bucking, Fnr-man was superior.

Furman could not get her forward pauses working well, so tried but one or two. Clemson should erect a monument to the man who Invented thnt play, for it was a pass from Banks to Herrls, during the last three minutes of play, that resulted In victory. Harris was stand- Furman Accepts Clemson' Offer for a Game in Green-' ville "Health DayJ' LALRGE CROWD EXPECTED Furman athletic managers announ ced yesterday that they had accepted Clemson's offer of a return game, and had dispatched a night letter to Clem son fixing the date of the game Wed nesday, next, whlcn will be health day in Greenville. On that day it Is expected that thousands of people will visit Greenville, and so a football game would be assured of good attendance. The regular schedule for the season has but one game wid Clemson, but when an effort was made to transfer this game to Greenville, and change the date to October fourth, Clemson declined to do this, but stated that a return game could be arranged.

Unquestionably a game here between Furmau and Clemson would attract a great crowd, especially after the contest yesterday showed tne two teams to be about equal. Because of the possibilities of making money; because of the desire to contribute another attractive feature to the day's program, and because of the desire to meet Clemson again, the Furman managers decided to accept the offer of a second game.

WON BY A FIELD GOAL West Loses to Penn- sylania by Score of 3 to 0 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30. A field goal In the last few minutes by Williams gave Pennsylvania a victory today over West Virginia university 3 toO.

A long forward pass and good line plunges by West Virginia brought the ball to Pennsylvania's ten yard line. With one down left West Virginia tried a short forward pass. Hutchinson caught tho ball at the goal line, but a Pennsylvanian threw him back. A few minutes later Williams booted the field goal from the 75 yard line. YALE BEAT CARNEGIE Final Score 25 to 0.

Brooklyn came back this afternoon by hitting Alexander hard and won from Philadelphia 6 to 1, thereby regaining first place after losing it by dropping the morning game to Philadelphia, 7 to 2. Alexander lost because Brooklyn could hit him when hits were needed, while the visitors were unable tg hit Marquard effectively after the first Inning, when Paskert singled, took second on a balk, third on Bancroft's secrtflce and scored on Stock's out Alexander retired from the game when Dugey batted for him in the eighth and fanned. Brooklyn made four hits and two runs off Kantlhener, a recruit Dave Bancroft twisted his ankle so badly when he stepped on first after his sacrifice in the first inning that he had to quit. He was helped off the field ond will not play again this season. Stock moved from third to short and did sensational work, while Byrne played well at third.

Both teams fielded erratically. Luderus' batting was a big feature in the morning game. Rixey was master in the pinches while Pfeffer was hit hard.
