'The Georgia team of 1896 was one of the greatest the Athens squad has ever developed This team marked the last of Pop Warnei regime and the season was a verj successful one Among others this team defeated North Carolina anel closed the season with a vic- totv over their time-honored rivals, Au- buin The roster of the team contained such names at Atkinson, Kent Clarke, Gammon, Cothran Nalley, Lovejoy, and others Gammon who played quarter on this team, was killed the following year in a game with in this citv Nalley, ho plajed at half and was a conspi- uous figure in the victory over Auburn, died just six years later to a flay, and on the day of his death Georgia again triumphed over Auburn for the first time since that victory "Auburn Vanderbilt and Sewanee are the other I A colleges which showed with strong teams in the later nineties In 1897 and the two following seasons the team showed great strength Bob PVnton a former Virginia captain, and brother of the more recent Auburn fullback, was the star of this team, while Baby' Pierce, a 200-pound tackle, also did great execution In 1898 Mitcham, captain and fullback was the mam show Tho Auburn team defeated Georgia that jear by a score of IS to 17 and it was largely through Mitcham's work that the brackets were earned The team of 1899 was howev er, probablv the most dangerous of the three In the opinion of Coach Heisman this was the best team of his stay at Auburn Best of the Earlier Days.

"The anderbilt team of 1897 is regard- ed as the best of that institution's output in the earlier das This team performed the rather marvelous feat of going through the entire season without having a point scored against it, winding the season with a 0 to 0 tie -with Virginia, Among the best of this bunch were Phil Connell Jack Dje Howard Boogher, Ur Lucius Burch and Mike O'Connor "Sewanee's team for the season of 1899 is regarded as one of the best the Purple ev er dev eloped The team cleaned up in great fashion and was In man ways a remarkable aggiegatlon Among the stars of this aggregation were Serbles Krlpat- ilck Simpkins Cope and others The Clemson squad came a great team 1900 Thej won from Georgia by the big margin of 39 to 5, and VANDERBILT'S '06 ELEVEN PICKED AS SOUTH'S BEST Bob Pritchard Left end tackle Left guard Stone Center Thorn Right guard E.

"In the following' year the University of Nashville turned out one of the most formidable teams in this section They ere beaten by Vanderbilt in the Thanksgiving game but onlv after they showed a terrible slump fiom their past performances They tfimrrfed Sewanee by the lop-sided score of 39 to 6 and mopped up with about everything else Among the stars of this outfit were Kuykendall Biddie Peake, Pollard KellaJ Choate, Blackburn and White "Cumberland spiang up with a powerful team in 1903 They di opped down to Nashville and trimmed Vanderbilt though they later suffered defeat at the hands of Sewanee the team was a grand one It was composed of such physical giants as the Bridges brotheis Red" Smith Suddaith Head Anderson, and Smiser. "In 1904 Aubuin and Vanderbilt had the field pretty much, to themselves Both went through the season without a defeat Both of them beat Sewanee as well as any other comers but unfortunately no game had been scheduled between them Among the strongest members of the Orange and Blue squad weie Reynolds Foy Lacey Streit, Moon, Patterson, and Perkins Vanderbilt strength lay principally in Craig, Dan Blake Pritchaid, Patterson, Kjle and Hamilton Bright Years for Commodores.

"In the season of '05 Vanderbilt came home with a clear call The team suffered but one defeat that at the hands of Michigan Sewanee was disposed of with a large score as weie Auburn and Clemson and the strong Texas team This team was composed of Bob and Dan Blake Manier a Tavlor Xyle, Stone Piitchard Patteison and others The following veai founel Vanderbijt ith a clear title for a second time This team held Michigan to a 10 to 4 score BOXING BOUTS THIS WEEK Pool Champion De Oro to Play Hucston Xlfr. fOr i vv if th, pool IMUH 'e i I I nst a I i ton A' i i li i mil i Juit.h night play will coaeisi oi 100 balls Brewer VB Clarence English 10 rounels at Pitv Mo Mickcj Sheridan TI Joe Phillips 15 rounds at Cleitlantl Ohio Bob Pltlslev Kid Julian 10 rounds at Sra Bert Kerei Johnnj Dohan 10 rounds at New Patsj rrannigan vs Digger Stanle) 10 rounds Pittsburg Pa TtESDVi Alf FranUe Burns li rounds at New i Sammte Smith a Eddie Murphj 13 round at Button Jtass Johnny Moore, 10 at I en I-driU Kolljr Cus Wilson 10 at Buffalo lark It 11 i Gardner 10 rounds at IjtdiJt) apfvli nd i ourn; rounds a a I 1 a rtrdn rl Ph 1 Brock rmnti it Ol i 1 IK! nj.
