JACKETS DEFEAT CAMP GORDON I I Jackets Have Tough Time Beating Gordon 28 to 0- I Atlanta Fans Treated to the Best.

Cam Cordons new football team not only covered Itself with glory yes terdJ afternoon at Grant field. but it Atlanta' greatest football crowd tb best game of football that It ha en In.

tour year The Jacket were pushed to their tttmost to win by the score of 28 to and only a Gordon tumble In the second period. turned the tide when the battling wa rsrtfing up and down the field with little edge for either side. Ferst. the Savannah High school lad. with head up and eyes open.

swooped down on the ball a it dropped from trUpDers hand following a fierce tackle by Captain Bill Fincher. of the Jacket and with. Barrens red head bobbing up and down beside him. the Jackets left halt sped the 35 remaining yards. to a touchdown.

This was the break in the game. But for that tumble the teams might have been playing a scoreless tie until yet. The Jackets rushed to the attack and scored another touchdown in that period. Fiercely Fought Game. No game on an Atlanta gridiron in recent years has been as fiercely Kvery inch of ground was stubborn ly contested by both sides.

Play aft- cc play was piled up men were tackled for losses and even when pins were made. the man with the ball was brought to earth with a thud that could be heard in the grandstand. Gordon's strength surprised. She eopedWith Tech's shift formation and broke up those sweeping end runs with more success than any team that has played the Jacket since 1914. Another surprise was the way Tech was able to puncture Gordon's link with Pug Allen doing most of the borlag.

This was Just as much a surprise as it was a surprise the number of times that the soldier boys would fathom that shift play. No better played game of football has been. shown on the local field in years and the crowd never tired of the class of ball being put up and stayed right up until the' last. Crowd a Feature. The crowd in itself was a feature.

It is estimated that something over 12000 fans witnessed the game and the majority of them Were soldier boys from Camp Gordon. some of whom ar rived late for the contest. The concrete stands were tilled from one end' to the other. The extra stands towards the south end of the field were jammed with khaki. while all the knockdown bleacher seats from Ponce de Leon park.

put on the east side of the field were occupied by cheering soldiers and their bands Then around the sideline fences civilian and soldier football fans stood three and four deep and fit both ends and tram their points of vantage on the road outside the eastern fence and on the trees on North avenue. thousands of other fans viewed the contest with in terest. The rival rooting was similar to that at a Tech-Georgia battle. and the cheer- lug of both sections brought forth some new and novel yens. Games St tl tlc The statistic on the game show that in the flrst period the Jackets made two flrstdownr to one for Gordon.

showing how fierce the contesting really was. In the second period. the Jack- ets registered seven first downs to two for the soldiers while in the third. Gordon registered four to but three for the Jackets. but in the final period.

Tech got ten first downs and Gordon failed to register a. one. Tech's total was 21 first downs to Gordon's 7 Each team fumbled three times each recovering two of their fumbles. while one tumble went to the other side in each instance. Gordon's first fumble re suiting in the first Tech score.

Tech' suffered the most from penalties her over-eagerness to get into the plays causing tier to lose a total of 64 yards on ten penalttes. while Gordon was penalized five times for a total of 30 yards during the melee. Forward passes were attempted in profusion by the two teams after the first period. The Jackets attempted six of them and worked but one successfully. though she did try two short passes into the line In the final period that could hardly be called forward passes both working successfully.

Gordon tried thirteen forward passes and worked three of them successfully though on' three other occasions had the man on the receding end of the ball caught the There would have been a touchdown for the soldier boys. The Games Stars To. every member of both. elevens goes a large share of credit for a splendid game. Every man whether regular or substitute did splendid work and is deserving of all the praise that his.

mates and supporters can heap upon him. But of course there were outstanding stars on the two elevens. For the Jackets Red Barron was the shining light. in our humble estimation. He played great ball in every department was in the thick of every play whether offensive or defensive and scored two of the touchdowns by the Jackets.

Allan Flowers Guyon Bv Adams and Pincher were close behind Barron in their effective work while the rush line deserves a wore of credit for the manner in which they got into the plays and dumped the play many times before It got to the line of scrimmage. Joe Guyon was here there and everywhere and the Indians defensive play was a shining light. His fndividual ef- I forts many times kept the Gordon' eleven in check. For Gordon. her ends on defense.

the up being switched in that manner played wonderful ball and got into Tech's interference In splendid style. Wallet. Kurtz and Bortz played splendid ball on offensive. as did Strupper. while the defensive play of Captain May was as effective for his team as Guyon was for- Gordon.

At times. he was the same G. Everett or Tech fame. but his forwards could not keep the hard-charging Jackets away from him on other occasions. However.

Strap did get away for several sized runs at odd times during the congest. The Winning Play. After the play had seesawed up and down the field. for the entire first period the Quarter ended with the ball on Tech's yard line in Tech's possession Onion. made ii yards.

Ga. October 25. Special. Every effort I being made to match either th GeorglaTech football team orthe Camp Gordon eleven with the crack Ordnance eleven of Camp Hancock. If in agreement can be reached it 1 probable that a game will be played with on of these teams within the nut ten days or two weeks.

Although it ha. been organized less thin two week tb Ordnance team has already played and. won It first game. and i well along in it preparation for the season. Wednesday the team met arid defeated the Georgia Military college by a to score.

It was the first time the Milledgevllle boys had been scored on this tall and the tint time they had met defeat in more this five years. Credit for the victory was erroneously given by some of the papers to the Camp Hancock eleven. under which name the Machine Gun team commonly passes. The Ordnance team is composed entirely of ordnance men and is under entire ordnance management.

The team at Hancock is the only one in the United States representing the ordnance department and It is being given every encouragement by the de partment.

touchdown and Tech stands went wild. This was the break in the game. The Tech team rushed to the attack and the Gordon eleven showed the ef facts of this psysological vent of the contest. The Second Store. Gordon kicked off and Guyon re turned it 7 It being Tech's ball' on her own yard line.

Flowers then reeled off 11 yards around left end Barron added 9 around the other end. Allen failed to gain. May breaking through and nailing him for a loss. Kraft then tackled Allen for a yard loss. A forward pass.

Guyon to Flowers netted a yard gain and Allen smashed through the center of the line for 5 yards and first down. Allen's smashing from this point on one of the features of the game. and the big fullback surprised even his staunchest friends by the fierceness of his attack. He hammered out three more and then Barron got- three and Allen made it an- i other first down. Flowers put the ball on Gordon's yard line with a 12- yard run.

and Barron went vr for the second touchdown. and Pincher. of course. kicked goal. There was little doing during' the.

re niainder of the period. the ball seesawing front one to the other and the quarter ending with the ball on Tech' yard line in Gordon's possession. I The latermlloD The intermission was killed by some i splendid drill formations of a drill platoon from Camp Gordon with Lieutenant Prophlt as the drillmaster. and the precision of their movements elicited considerable applause not only front the civilian spectators. but their soldier mates as well.

who were able to appreciate good drilling. At the same time a bayonet squad I gave an exhibition of the bayonet fighting that is taught the boys. and especially how to disarm an opponent. The Liberty quartet was also on hand with its soings and singing to the fans in the concrete stands they received an ovation and were forced to respond to encores. The usual tedious wait between i halves- was certainly killed by the drills and many an Atlantan went ck to the city with a mind picture of what some of his Liberty Bond money is going for.

and satisfied that it is being putto splendi ixBe In the third period. both sides threatened to score and on one occasion Flowers caught a forward pass back of his goal line for a touchback. the ball being brought out and put into play on Tech's yard line. I The Phil Period. The ball seesawed back and forth for the remainder of the period which I ended with the ball In Gordon's possession on her own yard line.

Fincher again kicked the goal. Gordon gt the ball on her own 22- yard line after the ball had changed hands a couple of times. a Tech fumble giving the Gordon boys the ball. But Gordon could not improve her. position any.

and after falling to gain punted Adams return ag the punt 40 yards. Tech fumbled again and Gordon recovered this time on her' own yard line. Again she punted and again Adams returned the punt the same dls tance. On the first play- Barron skirting behind tine interference cut away from it and dodging and stepping and leaping over would-be tacklers sped his way to the final touchdowC of the game. Tech was marching on for another touchdown when the whistle blew ending the best game of football that At- lantans have seen in many a day.

It makes one look forward to the next two skirmishes between the two elevens with keen interest. y. TECH. Position. GORDON.

Paris October 15 By Mail Inter collegiate football promises to have a big season in France this tall. Perhaps the. quality. of play will not be up to the tie standards of the big colleges back home. for the simple rea- son that few of the American coldiers will have time enough the practice required to develop gridiron' science to a feather edge.

What the army elevens may lack in ecleOhe they will make- up in stamina and" pep The Yankee soldier in France is always In training. It he belongs to a fighting unit. the character of his work is such that he abso- It ily must keep fit. And It lie is attached to one of the equally important auxiliary organizations that back up the line he has to hustle so hard to keep up With his dally program that he must safeguard his health.

The matter of getting uniforms pads. head-harness- ell arid things or that kind. the soldiers will have to. attend to themselves. as the association is not now in a position to furnish them.

though it hopes to be some day. In this work of course th Knights' of Columbus. the Salvation Army and all of the welfare organizations in the Said will do their part. Football Is a game that exactly suits the fighting man. He wants his sports with the bark on.

The keener the competition and the more strenuous the play. the better hetlikes it. This particularly is true of troops In- the support positions waiting the command to go into the front line. These men are trained to the minute physically and they need something to keep them on edge. The intercollegiate game has the merit of possessing a mental as well as a physical appeal.

When a man Is orders to go Into' action. he wants something that will occupy his mind. Football be cause it is a game that requires concentration just tills the bill. In the service of supply areas back of the line. the game also will be popular.

Here the program of hard work becomes monotonous and the men want something exciting to keep them busy when they have a few hours leisure. Most of them get plenty. of exercise in the natural course otduty. but they are never too tired to play a game that will supply the elements of keen competition and healthy inter- unit rivalry. For obvious reasons it is not possible to play football when the men are actually in the front lines.

The game re quires space in the open and the assembling of considerable number of men. These things invite the attentions of the hostile airmen and disclose the positions of troops with results apt to be disastrous. It will be no novelty to see company and regimental teams practicing under cover within a few hundred yards of the enemy's positions thi fall. however so that they may. be in condition to tackle a rival aggrega.

It it were possible to gather in ona place all the great football players now serving In France the strongest team that ever stepped on a field would be organized. There are enough All American men of comparatively recent vintage for that matter in the A E. F.

to form three' or four elevens. But the stars of yesterday are scattered and no such aggregation' will appear. The team that has more than one man who once was mentioned by Walter Camp will consider Itself lucky. Not only are there many fine. players In the American army but there are also numerous successful coachei that could develop an unbeatable eleven from the material that would he available if the IS wanted to give them authority to select- anybody desired The.
