Iege Team VIII BE Permitted to
Play Against the Savannah Team.
Georgia Boys VIII Be Royalty
Entertained During Their Stay in
Savannah-Game VIII Be Called
Saturday Afternoon at $3.50
O'cIOck-WiH Be the Greatest
Game Ever Seen Here.
At the practice OF the football squad
last night Capt. Cope commenced drill
ing the men in the line of play that
will be employed Saturday afternoon
against the University team.
For two hours the men were put
through the hardest series of plays
they have yet had this season, and
not few were ready to drop when
they were finally told to let up.
The team suffers the disadvantage of
having no team to play against so that
the effect of plays that will be at
tempted can be seen, but Capt. Cope
says that all of the men are So well
posted on how to execute, and have
played the game so much that he be-
lieYes that they will be in as good
shape as If they had scrub games.
The Georgia team will reach Sa-
vannah Saturday morning, and will i'm
mediately be taken in hand by the
University Club here, and be taken
for drive to the interesting points
around Savannah.
The game will be called at Bolton
Street Park at $3.50 in the afternoon and
in the evening the team will be guests
CT the University Club.
When Georgia comes here she will
have the strongest team that she has
lined up this year. Dickinson, who is
coaching the team, and who is bar
red from play against regular college
teams, will take his old position of half
back on the team, and a number of
other former members of the team will
be pressed into service.
The Savannah squad is confident,
however, of giving the team hard
struggle, and the fastest game of foot
ball ever seen in Savannah is promised.
The team this year will stand as it
did last year with but three excep-
tions. Frank McIntire will take Art
ley's place at right tackle, Harmon
will fill the vacancy caused by James
StllEvau's absence and Mcneil will
succeed Hull at full back. All of
these new men have played on college
teams. Harmon was the bright and
particular star on the Georgia team
last year. and McIntire was also one
of the best men, while Mcneil was for
two years captain of the Lee Washing
ton University team.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the entertainment of the
Georgia BOYS, and they will be shown
royal time while in Savannah.
No doubt the largest crowd that has
ever attended football game here
will assemble to see the struggle Sat
urday afternoon. It will be a game
even more stubbornly contested than
the Thanksgiving game between Au-
burn and the university. Georgia will
be greatly strengthened by men that
viii not be able to play on the regular
college team, and they expect to pile
up a wonderful score here.
Joe Killorin, the Savannah boy who
has won most of the honors for the
Georgia team this year, will be given
an ovation when he appears here. 1t
is understood that Killorin will be put
on the line on the varsity team.
