Savannah Referee Frank Butler.

Craig- Barrow. R. C. Harrison. Time of half, 30 minutes; second half 15 minutes.

Intermission minutes. Three thousand deliriously joyful fiavannahians saw the white and blue triumph over the red and black of the Georgia eleven at the Bolton Street Park yesterday afternoon. As many wildly cheering men and women surged across the checkerboard when the referee's whistle blew the last time, announcing the end of the contest, with the score 6 to 0 in favor of the Savannah Athletic Association team. Eleven of the pluckiest athletes that ever donned a football uniform, with only slight preparation, fought like tigers for forty-five minutes against a team that has had sixty hard training, and has engaged in contests with some of the best football elevens in the South. For forty-five minutes these men, who have had only short night practices twice a week for the past three weeks, held bucking center at a standstill, and when they got the sphere fought their way down the field with never a falter.

Not a Change In the Team. No change was made on the team through the entire period of play. The stonewall line of the blue and white never budged when assaulted with all the force the Georgia linemen and backs could put Into their assaults. Men were scattered around like unto ia battlefield, after each scrimmage, but as soon as the referee's whistle sounded they were at their places ready for play. It was a great game, a magnificent game, and never has a football struggle excited so much enthusiasm as did this one.

Georgia fought nobly, contesting every inch of ground. They lost by being unable to gain ground against the heavier Savannah team, and an inability to stop the terrific plunges of the Savannah backs. Kei'orii-llreahlnit Attendance. The attendance at the game was record breaking. Over 3,000 people passed through the gates, and had not the extra precautions of erecting a fence to keep the crowds back, been taken, it would have been a matter of impossibility to finish the game with any satisfaction.

The grand stand was filled with those who did not care to get closer on the side lines, but it was along both sides of the field that the great throng gathered in the majority. Georgia colors were conspicuously displayed, and there were many who shouted lustily for the red and black. Of course, the blue and white predominated. a great moment for the wearers when they glanced along the side lines and saw their colors displayed everywhere. Why Savannah Won.

Savannah won, as she should have won. From the start it was evident that the Georgia eleven team was outclassed at every point, though the perfect team work and long training of the red and black eleven was evident. Savannah was heavier, stronger and faster. When the line was sent smashing through center, gains of from five to seven yards were made every time, with but one exception. The assaults of the blue and white were irresistible, and Wayman Harmon was tent through right and left ends at will.

Itossiter was the one particular star In gaining through Georgia's center. This gritty bunch of brawn and muscle smashed through the Georgia lines half a dozen times for gains of from five to ten yards, with nearly jhe entire red and 'black eleven opposing him. The prettiest play of the afternoon was when he hurled the Georgia line and was dragged nearly ten Sards by Harmon and Mclntire, who and gone through right and left center to assist him. Red and black men "ere dragged along by the human until nearly the. entire eleven downed the three struggling men.

But more of the Individual players further How Georgia Loaf. The red and black eleven did not ave a chance to win after the ball as put i play. The largest gain to mr credit wan ten yards, and three they resorted to punting. After rst ten minutes of play they saw a efforts to get through the blue Hue were futile. They sent around the end time and a kain, but as surely one starta with the bull Rossiter, Mclntire or 1 land him.

CLEVER DROP KICKING MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR AUBURN TO SCORE TEN POINTS. A Ictorlous Eleven Inferior to Their Opponents in Everything Hat Kicking and Punting Never Closer to Goal of Gold and White Thau lb Ynrtls, Hoyd of Alabama Managed to Kiek the Plgakin in the Right Wits the Hoodoo of the Techs. Atlanta, Nov. 10.

Tech 5, was the score at the end of the game this afternoon, after one of the prettiest fought contests of the season. Flaying rings around the Auburn men, the Tech eleven lost to the Alabama boys through the wonderful drop, kicking of Boyd, who scored a victory for his team by two well placed drop kicks, one from the thirty and the other from the twenty-yard line. Never closer to the goal of the Gold and White than fifteen yards, inferior to their opponents in everything but kicking, and punting, and out-played in offense and defense, the Auburn men piled up ten points and won their fourth victory. Fumbling was the hoodoo of the Techs, and was the Immediate cause of their defeat. When the chances for victory seemed brightest and Tech was bucking the line and going through the ends at the rate of five yards a trial, some miserable display of numb fingers occurred, and the ball dropped from hands that should have guarded and protected it.

It was in the second half that Tech scored. The hard fighting began on twenty yard line. One down and not a yard of gain, and then the ball was snapped and fumbled and a Tech man slipping through the line had it in his arms, tep yards from the goal line. Two downs and decided gain, and then Clarke, the Tech tackle, was given the oval, and with interference perfect in formation, he skirted the Auburn line on the right, smashing his way over the goal line. Then an an effort was made to kick goal, proving a failure, and leaving the score, Auburn, 10; Tech, 5.

This play was the signal for a burst of applause. The line up was as follows: Auburn. Position. Tech. Merkle center Simms.

Venerable right guard Pierce left guard Gregg. Moon right tackle Thrash. Adams left tackle Clarke. and Roberts. Perkins left end Smith quarter Wood.

To every man on the Savannah team is due special mention, but there were some bright particular stars whose opportunities were greater for star playing. Along together in the lis tof who took all the hard work that fell to their lot, and who never shirked but forced things are Rositer, Harmon, Mclntire, McNeil and Hicks. To the lot of Harmon and Rossiter fell the spectacular work. Each smashed through the Georgia ends time and again, and followed the Interference perfectly. Georgia men were leary about tackling Rossiter as he smashed through the line, and several times he gained several yards even after he had been tackled by two or three players.

In the first half, Harmon made a spectacular run of forty yards around right end. He dodged like a hare and was straightening out for a run to the goal when Killorin, who was playing well back, tackled him. The referee decided that Harmon ran fifteen yards of the distance out of bounds, and the ball was carried back that distance The Spectacle of the Gnme. Rossiter, Mclntire and tandem plunge through center was the most spectacular play of the day, and resulted in a ten-yard gain. Rossiter hurdled the line, Harmon and Mclntire getting through Just in time to lock with him.

Quick as thought, the three were off for Georgia. 8 goal, but the red and black men tackled hard and quickly. They could not down the three struggling blues, however, until a gain of over ten yards had been made. With Mclntire pushing and Harmon pulling, the gritty Rossiter kicked and lunged his way along for five vards with the entire Georgia team clinging to him. Five men were laid out, testifying to the terrific onslaught of the three.

Mclntire played a sacrificing game all the way through. The brunt of the battle fell on him and Hicks. Each time the ball was snapped to the Georcia quarter back he was the first to form in the defense, going low, to stumble the linemen. He was nearly always at the bottom of the scrambling and was stretched out five or six times. While his playing was not as show and not seemingly as resultant as that of the backs, to him was due largely the perfect defense of the line.

Hicks has always proven a stump In line bucking for opposing teams, and with his wonderful strength, he was always in the front in the line deserves special mention for his excellent work. On more than one occasion he saved a break in the line, an( was always ready in the played his usually strong game as did the other members of fhe team, and not a word could be said in criticism, considering the practice the men have had.

The coming of winter, with its icy winds, damp, foggy weather, and sudden changes in temperature, will set the old rheumatic joints to aching and the muscles to throbbing and twitching with such pains as only Rheumatism can inflict. Chronic sufferers need no better weather signals to warn them of approaching storms than their aching bones and muscles. They know from experience how the damp, easterly winds and night air increase their misery and rob them of restful sleep. Rheumatism is always worse in winter.

Cold and dampness are exciting causes; they affect the circulation, stop perspiration, and the poisonous acids in the blood, no longer able to escape through the pores, settle upon the nerves and tender linings of the joints and muscles, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible piercing pains that no wonder the nerves are shattered, the health undermined, and the CoinmbusOhio, May 10, ims, e. jjr jr-i-r Sue 7ars ago I had a severe attaok of patient Olten crippled and deiormed tor llie.

TIGER IS ROARING PRINCETON DOWNS YALE ON OWN FIELD. SCORE OF THE GAME 11 TO 6. IT WAS SPECTACULAR IN ALL ITS DETAILS. Contest Was Stubbornly Pnu ht by the Giants of lioth Universities. Score Was a Tie of ft to ft Until a Marvelous Goal Wus Kicked From Placement by Princeton Fatal Marked the Progress of tlie Game.

New Haven, Nov. went down to defeat before the men of Princeton to-day in the annual football game on Yale field by a score of 11 to 6. The contest which was one of the most spectacular ever witnessed on gridiron was stubbornly fought throughout. Until the hist five minutes of play when DeWitt, the Princeton captain, kicked a marvelous goal from placement, and broke the tied score of 6 to 6, the result was in doubt. Yale made one touchdown from which a goal was kicked.

Princeton equalled record, and added a goal from placement. At -the end of the first half the score was tied, and close observers looked for a Yale victory, but the New Haven men were unable to get the pigskin over the line again while kicking ability gave to his team the victory. While Princeton deserved to win, Yale deserved to lose, for scores were practically the direct results of fumbling. Yale's small score, moreover, was due to fumbling equally as fatal. Yale Tore Through Tiger Line.

Within fourteen minutes from the time play began, Yale had torn through line consistently and had sent Hogan across the line for a touchdown. Princeton could not cope with stonewall defense and the play was largely in orange territory. Yale followed up her first advantage and again pressed tow-ard the goal line. A fumble gave the ball to Princeton when Yale was on the verge of crossing the line for another score. A Fatal Fumble.

Yale again pounded line for short, but consistent gains and again Yale was within striking distance. The Yale quarter back, with the game well in hand, apparently decided to save his men and signalled for an attempt at a goal from the field. Mitchell dropped 'back and fumbled the ball on Princeton's twenty-yard line. The visitors broke through, De- Witt snatched the ball from the ground and protected by fine interference, ran the length of the field for a touchdown. Vetterlein kicked the goal and the score stood even at 5 at the end of the first half.

The players on both teams came out for the second half in good physical condition. Yale Superior on Offensive. In this period, as In the first, superiority of offense was apparent. The blue kept the play in half of the field most of the time. Twice CMpt.

men rushed the ball with irresistible force toward the orange goal line and twice with touchdowns in sight, the sons of Yale fumbled grievously. Again the backs hurled themselves through the opposing line only to lose their last hope of victory, through holding in the line, which cost Yale tw enty yards and the surrender of the ball. The battle was waged furiously and the Yale men were the first to show the effects of the struggle. Princeton, meanwhile, never wavered and the orange and black line became stauncher. Princeton Grain Stronger.

Yale could not gain, but her forwards were equally as sturdy on the defense and Princeton could not penetrate the blue line for gains at all substantial. Accordingly, Princeton resorted to the kicking game and with but five minutes to play another Yule fumble placed Yule in serious trouble near her own goal line. Luckily for Yale, one of her own men fell on the ball, but Bowman, the Yale back, was forced to kick from behind his own goal line. He punted well to Yale's forty-two yard line, Vetterlein, who was playing back for Princeton, caught the Pall and with great presence of mind heeled the catch for a kick from placement. Crowd Was While De- Witt Kicked.

With the score still at 6 to 6, the great crowd wus breathless, while De- Witt prepared to try for goal, at a slight angle. The distance was forbidding, but DeWitt was superbly equal to the occasion, and shot the ball between the goal posts, in masterly style, thereby Insuring to Princeton its first victory in football over Yale since 1899. The game afforded something of an anomaly in view of the fact that Yale, the defeated team, gained the greater distance both in kicking and in rushing. Mitchell, the Yale back, outpunted DeWitt unmistakably. Indeed, captain apparently had an off day.

J. R. Croker was the most disappointed man on the race track after the first race yesterday, when his filly, Back Number, met defeat. Honest John thought he had a sure winner and advised all his friends to get down heavy. Heorine, the winner, ran the best race she has shown at the meeting.

She and filly were off together and raced head and head to the stretch turn, where Heorine drew away under a drive and won at the end by a length. Sam Ferris wanted to stretch President out of the first, but was informed that under the rules of the Western Jockey Club If he scratched one he would have to scratch both. Lady Mistake ran a splendid race in the handicap, when she defeated that good and consistent performer, TAlly H. The latter was asked to Rhoulder 123 pounds, while the Lady had only 98 to eaivy. Weights will bring all horses together and Tally H.

Schultz yesterday entered his good colt, St. in the Crescent City Derby, which is run in New Orleans next March. The colt will receive his preparation for this rich stake at the Fair Grounds, where he is now stabled. J. R.

Croker also entered his two colts, Tennesseean and Dick Ripley. Mr. Croker thinks his Tennessee horse has a royal chance, and will prepare him along with Mr. Schultz's St. Juvenal.

When these two good colts receive their final trials before shipment to New Orleans, there will no doubt be a large crowd on hand to witness them. Ben Brown will ship his string of eight to New Orleans on Wednesday. The stable consists of Lady Mistake, Navigator, Stunts, Queen of Dixlana and others.

Miller's olalms that White was by fifteen pounds the heavier man and his assertion that if he could get White down to 145 pounds that he could best him was readily met by White when the proposition was put to him. The meeting between White and arranged for Wednesday ONLY ONE FAVORITE WAS CALLED A WINNER. KINGFULL WAS GIVEN A RACE.

But the bookies didn't need many express wagons to take their coin away, for the crowd was not large as it had been.

This was due to the fact that the gridiron at Bolton Street Tark had attracted the crowd. Still there were enough on hand backing the ponies to make it interesting. Only one Girl in the the money, and it was a hard day for those who thought they could pick the winners. A tip went the rounds that the long shots would run to the good, and the ponies that were chalked up at big odds got a good play. But the in-betweens made the winning and no killing were recorded during the afternoon.

Back Number Lost. In the first race Back Number was favored in the betting at 1 to 2, but Head pulled Heroine at 2 to 1 under the wire first and captured the coin.

In the fourth there was a strong play on Navigator at 3 to 1, and to some of those in the grand stand It looked like easy money even after the horses had gone under the wire. Welsh Girl at 4 to 5 was given the purse, and quite a number of tickets were cashed. But the bookies took in the coin in the last event. There scarcely any play on Klngfull, who was given the race. In an effort to recover what had been lost In the first four races, the crowd scattered a few dollars on the long shots, and there were two or three of them.

Reformer was backed from 25 to 1 to 8 to 1, but was never heard of. Quite a number of tickets were sold on Howendobler at 60 to 1, and Lady Florence got a strong play. Joe Buckley with Waldo up, looked like peaches and cream, and was on the board at even money. Waldo's mount was bucked heavily, and it looked like a pipe. Little or no money was put on Kingfull, the Savannah horse, at to 1.

Dr. Crockett and Nuptial got a good play, and with the exception of Buckley and Kingfull the money was pretty well scattered. To thoee In the betting ring and in the grand stand It looked like Buckley by half a length, but the judges called it Kingfull, and the ground was littered with Buckley tickets. It was Just such a finish as Friday afternoon, when Buckley was called second, except that It was a little more so. the two stables Capps has the best percentage, for there are but two horses in his stable, Dr.
