Wd6GL Oil eoothN-AA the crimson and white colors of Ala bama's varsity were silently furled and sent back to the city of oaks defeated but not disgraced.
 As the sun was setting low, the plucky sons of Georgia rallied around the red and black standard and by terrific att tack on the Alabama line slowly neared the Hateful goal gaunt young ath- lete Bearing the name of Dickinson was entrusted with the coveted ball and re- peatedly plunged through the crimson and white line and silently the varsity rooters resigned themselves to the in- evitable.
 First down and goal to gain," shout ed the umpire and lad clad in red and black striped jersey was hurled at the line with the force of a catapult. This doughty young Georgian found stone wall awaiting him and he fell to the ground without having gained an inch.
 Hold them, Alabamag' came from the side lines and the college yell was given as encouragement, but all to no avail. That same man Dickinson was given the ball again and with a tandem formation to assist him battered his way across the line for touchdown. He failed on an easy try at goal and the score thus made, to o. remained the same when the whistle sounded the end of the strug gle. isesa.
 AIabama's Good Work.
 Alabama showed a rem lrkable eyer- gal of form since her defeat at the hands of Auburn, and with the exception of slowness in getting off her plays did magnificent work. At one time during the early part of the game Georgia had the ball within two feet of Alabamas goal, but by defensive work that would do credit to Princeton or Yale the crim- son and white held the ban downs and took possession of the pigskin. By a steady onslaught on the red and black line they carried the ball out of danger, and before losing it had the leather with in thirty yards of Georgia's line. Here a tumble gave Georgia the ball and when the referees whistle ended the first half the ball was exactly in the center of the field.
 Again they showed wonderful rallying powers after the kick off following Geor- gia's touch down. By fast work they took the ball away from their opponents I and by steady line buckng slowly creep \ ed towards Georgias goal. Slowness in getting the ball in play alone prevented them from at least tying the score. Fore man. Stickney, Young and Burke were making great excavations through the red and black formation, but when the ball had been placed on Georgia's ten yard line the shrill blast of the referees whistle sounded and the contest was ended.
 Spectators Enthusiastic.
 On account of opposing attractions not more than 1000 people witnessed the game but what it lacked in numbers was made up in enthusiasm. Long and loud the Alabama rooters appealed to their heroes to save the 'varsitys honor and though they responded valiantly nothing could be dcne to save them from defeat
 At the outset Georgia worked dou- ble pass and on the first down gained twenty yards The spectators immediate ly began looking for a series of tricks hut Georgia completely fooled them. They tried straight football for awhile and then resorted to tackle back plays. Failing in this they used tandem forma- tions which almost invariably proved successful.
 Alabana,s ends found it hard job to get under the play and long gains ire ouently resulted. Daniels, Grenade ana Arlington all did good work guards while Foreman and Quinn were strong as tackles
 The crimson and white team did not deviate from their style of playing straight football and not new play or a trick was tried. It is true McCarvey attempted to make a short kick at the start but failing in this no more trick plays were attempted. McCarvey showed himself to be a fine tackler and frequent- ly broke up interference in masterly style In fact the whole Alabama team seemed to be on their mettle and though they may have lacked training and team work they exhibited nerve and determin- alton.
 Several men were laid out for awhile during the game and TO one was seriously Injured though several substitutes were used.
