The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-11-24

| The games Alabamians are interested l in during the coming week are the Au- RprnGe0rgaa game m AsanTa ns )f Tennessee game in Birmingham on the l same day.
 Auburn's Thanksgiving Day game with | Athens Is an annual affair and one of | the interesting events of Southern foot | ball, both colleges making strenuous ef- l forts to capture 1t every year. In Au- burn, Manager Bragg ,g is getting & his sanant men victories in Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge having inoculated a spirit of confidence md determination in the team.
 Manager Donaldson of Georgia, Is also getting out the very best team possible and the game looks like one worth going | long way to witness.
 A big crowd of Montgomerians will go to Atlanta Thursday to take in the game, and the Georgia people will find all the l Alabama money they want to cover:
 Seven games have been played by these | two colleges since the year 1892, Auburn l winning five of them and Athens two. The first annual game was on the 2Oth of February, 1S92-Lipton was captain of the Auburn team while Cy Herty had the Georgians. It was a battle royal but Georgia could not get through the in- vincible Auburn line and the final score was Auburn, 10; Georgia O-Auburn mak- ing a couple of touchdowns and failing on both goals.
 In 94 with Brown captain of Auburn and Butler of Athens, the Georgians won I Q. year big Shaeffer of Selma was captain of Auburn and Stubbs of Georgia, and | Auburn won by 16 to 6.
 In 1896 Athens had probably the best team they had turned out since the mem orable year in which they defeated North Carolina. The coach who had charge of the Carlisle Indians in '95-Wrainer of Cornell-had Georgia that year and the effectiveness of his thorough work spoke for itself. Nalley was captain of the Georgia team and Reynolds Tichnor, of Atlanta. had Auburn. the final score ba- ing F to 6 in favor of Georgia.
 In '97 the death of NonGammon Of Athens, closed the season for both teams, but in '9S Walden was captain of the Georgia team and Mitcham or Auourn. That was the year in which Georgia played the baby act-it looked like a cinch for them in the first half they rolling up 17 points to Auburn's 0. Tn the second half, however, the superb physical condition and rallying power that made the Auburn teams famous told and they rolled up IS points. This would have won the game, but Georgia dehe- Association afterwards awarding the game to Auburn.
 In 1899 there was trouble again. Au- burn had made II points to Georgia G. when the crowd rushed on the field, the referee deciding it a draw-0 to 0. The Association afterwards decided it Il to in favor of Auburn.
 Last year the magnificent team that
 deiseman made of Auburn, with Martin captain, Marlborough, Mike Harvey and Paterson, smothered Georgia by a score of A to 0, Yarbrough making four of the eight touchdowns
 While Auburn has not the team that they had in 1900 still Georgia will find them pretty tough proposition. A | brother of the Paterson that helped make the 1900 team famous is on this year g team and he Is making a name for him self. Still another brother is at Auburn and hopes to make the 1902 team. II looks like 8 case of the famous Pod fam fly at Princeton over again.
 For the past few days there has been man at one of the local hotels who in former years was a factor on several Alabama baseball teams. He is Wilson , Matthews, who will be remembered bv
 old-timers. Matthews was at Tuscaloosa
