gia, II; Auburn. s; tells the unexpected
result Of the Georgia Auburn game at
Piedmont Park today.
Before the game the odds were to l
on Auburn, but before FIVE minutes play
had been seen, Georgia had made a
touchdown and it was evident to every
one of the vast crowd In the park that
Auburn was clearly out-classed.
At no time were the Alabama boys in
the contest. The game was played al
most entirely into Auburn territory. and
he ball was never in Georgia territory
kept when kicked there by Auburn.
he Pirates were never able to carry
he oval across the center line on bucks
and end runs.
Georgia out-classed Auburn in every
point Of the game. In offensive work, in
defensive work, in running with the ball,
in punting, In interference. In the general
team work, and in everything else the
superiority of the Georgia team was
clearly apparent.
The weather was beautiful, the sky clear
and the temperature just low enough to
give the players ginger. Fully 5000 peo-
pie witnessed the game.
Piedmont Park presented a brilliant
appearance. From every part OF the
grounds the rival colors foated. The
red and black of Georgia was the favor
lite, but Auburn's orange and blue wal
far from lacking supporters.
Georgia made her IL points in the first
half on two touchdowns by Right Half

q touchdown, after four minutes Of play.
The second was made around right end.
The ball was carried forty yards to the
goal behind superb interference. Ridley
kicked goal both times
In the second half Georgia failed to
score while Auburn made her points on
a drop kick from the thirty-hve yard line
by Webb which was easily the best in
dividual play of the game.
On the kickoff, after this play, Elmer

Smith, Auburn's plucky quarter. who car
ried it to the center of the field making
the longest run of the game. But the long
run awaited nothing as Auburn was I'M
able to make the distance on the next
two plays and was forced to kick. Geor-
gia secured the ball and was steadily
carrying the pig skin to the Auburn goal
when the call of time put an end to
the contest
The agreement was for thirty-five min
ute halves with the understanding that
the game was to close at 4:45 no matter
what the status Of the game might be at
that time. The first half consumed
nearly an hour on account of the time
taken out and the second half was con-
sequently reduced to twenty minutes.
Both teams played straight football
throughout the game. Few tricks were
tried and only once or twice were pass
plays resorted to. Georgia used the
tackie-back and guards-back formations
extensively, and to good effect.
webb's kick which saved Auburn from
a shut-out. Smiths long run and the
bucking of Full Rack Allison, who made
nearly all the gains, were the features.
Auburn got through Georgia's line were
the features Of Auburn's play.
The playing of Harmon and Ridley s
hurdles were the only spectacular work
put up by Georgia. 1t was an eleven
mems game and every Cracker was in 1t
from the kick-off to the last call Of time.
Ridley and Baxter, the ends, were never
backed. The line held like a stonewall
while the back of the field merely failed
to make the required distance in three
downs. Monahan, the 120 pound quarter,
did great work. his interference being es-
pecially admirable. Georgia boxed Au-
burns ends and broke through the line
at will.
The Pirates could never get their plays
in action as the Crackers would break
through the line, tear up the interference
and down the runner for a loss. McIn-
tyre and Ketron were especially effec-
tive at breaking interference. The Off
Gals were Belden of North Carolina, Um-
pire, and Butler of North Carolina, Ref
cree.
