half back Cope has just returned from
the University of the South at Sewa-
nee, Tenn, where he was captain of
that team for two years. This fact
qualities him for any and all fast COM
pany. He is the lightest man on the
team, only weighing 125 pounds, but
what he lacks in weight he makes up
in knowledge and work. Sullivan is
an old Tech player and, like Cope,
needs no telling what to do. Clark was
a member of the Yale University team
in 1899 and is regarded as one of the
valuable men who will help carry Sa
vannah to victory. Johnson, the
tackle, has gotten back in the team
and is showing up fast and strong.
What he will do VIII be a plenty.
Landsburger and Kilborn, end and
tackle, respectively are in the game
for what it is worth, and are reliable,
swift and conscientious men. They are
among the likely men on the team.
May BE Some Changes.
These players will very probably
form the team that will represent Sa-
vannah this season, though there may
be some changes as a number of new
material is being practiced and may
make the team. These players are
Bentschner Kelly, Meyer, Lanney and
OlLCISs IHCy olC cll ollOWlilS up well
and may possibly displace some of the
older players
The team will average IT'S pounds or
more in weight, and is regarded as
one of the fastest and best-condition-
ed combination of gridiron men Sa-
vannah has ever turned out. This
array of talent will no doubt put jack
sonville and Atlanta guessing, and if
either of these aggregations expect a
snap it is apt to be the old joke of the
"fooler fooled"
