SAVANNAHIANS WATCHING
THE GAME BETWEEN
CHARLESTON AND CAROLINA
JAYS CONFIDENCE OF
VICTORY OVER SAVANNAH.
Tom DOzier Says Ii Is the Strongest
Team in the south To-day.

Tom Dozier says IL Is the Strongest
Team in the South To-day.
Seeing is believing. and nothing short
of this Will convince Tom Dozier that
he has not got the fastest football
eleven in the South with which to
waIlop the tantalizing Blue and White
line on Thanksgiving.
Down in Jaytown they are laying
great store by the team which Bob
Kennedy and Hogan Yancy have been
coaching, but so far no announcement
has been made of the playing of any
World-beaterS on the team. Big
Bridges is laid up with a badly sprain-
ed ankle and will not be able to play.
Kennedy is running the team and play
ing quarterback. Big Jones is playing
his old position at tackle, and is the
most formidable man on the lineup.
Yancy is said to have a habit of stop
ping when he is about to be tackled.
If he does this on Thanksgiving Lands
berg will show how hard he really can
tackle.
The local team will go into the game
almost as badly crippled as it was
against Fort Screven. Sullivan is still
suffering with a sprained ankle, and
CORVALLIS shoulder is far from well.
Gus Smith will not be able to put on
a uniform, but Cubbedge is all right
for that end. Shortridge will probably
go back in at quarterback. and with
careful coaching between now and
Thanksgiving will make a much better
showing. He is cool and keeps his
head well, but is fatally slow in call
ing each play and in getting in posi-
ton himself
The Jacksonville crowd has chartered
"a special train and will bring along all
manner of making devices.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-11-19

when asked to state whether or
not he thought Charleston could win
over Savannah, he guardedly replied,
I believe that Charleston could win,
though the score would be close. The
Charleston team has had more expert
ence, it has had superior coaching and
the team work is better as well as
faster. The Pathfinders were very
slow"
Charleston Has Better Team.
Savannahians know Charleston does
not believe that the teams as they
now stand are evenly matched. Char
lesion has the better team, further adj
vanced in coaching and better perfect
ed team work.
No argument has ever been directed
here against the employment of out
side men to make up a football team
for the simple reason that it might
look out of place in the face of the
fact that Savannah had never been
forced to strengthen the team here by
bringing in outsiders. The evil effect
of getting hired men is noticeable in
the attendance at Charleston and
Jacksonville. The local interest in the
team is largely handicapped.
In view of the fact that the annual
contest between Savannah and Char
lesion bids fair to be the chief foot
ball event of the South, it is high time
that some standing agreement be
reached whereby the sport and keen
rivalry be not made subservient to the
purse of the two associations putting
forth the teams.
should Not Hire Men.
1t can be charged, with truth, that
Savannah can well afford to argue from
such point of view, but nevertheless
it is believed here that the management
of the teams in Jacksonville and in
Charleston will realize that the more
local players in the game, the more
interest is displayed, and the more sue
cessful and satisfactory is the sport.
When in the early days of the sea-
son it was announced that Black and
Rossiter would not be with the team
this year, and when 1t was finally learn
ed that Weyman Harmon would not
be able to play and that Capt. Cope
would not be back until after Thanks
giving, a hasty consultation was held
among the directors of the Athletic AS
ISOLATION to arrange for bringing in
some outsiders to strengthen the team.
AS soon as the matter was suggest
ed the majority Immediately ANNOUNCE
ed their opposition. and work was COM
menced getting out all the available
material at home. The stand was talk
en- that even though Savannah was
beaten this year she could well afford
victories. during which time the Blue
and White has never been in the Shad-
ow of its own goal post.

CHARLESTON LOATH TO BOAST OF
VICTORY ON NEW YEARS DAY
Possibly Looking for Even Money on Savannah
With Superior Team

When Guy Gunter, half back on the
Charleston football team returned
home, he was not disposed to turn
loose a great chunk of his opinion as
to the comparative strength of Sa-
vannah and Charleston.
In fact he made a very conservative
statement to the newspapers, which is
assurance that Mr.. Gunter, as well as
his team mates are anxious that Sa-
vannah people believe the team which
played Fort Screven and the Charles
ton team are pretty evenly matched.
Fortunately Savannah people know
better than this. 1t is not claimed,
nor is it believed here, that the team
which played Fort Screven Wednesday
Gunter knew, as other members of the
Charleston team know, that Savan-
nah will put team forward on New
Years well worthy to support the proud
traditions of the Blue and White. Es-
pecfal pride will be taken in this team,
even though it be defeated, for the rea-
son that every member of it is a Sa-
vannah man.
Following is what Gunter said on
returning to Charleston, according to
the News and Courier:
How savannah Plays.
Guy Gunter, halfback on the
Charleston team. who witnessed the
game played between Savannah and
Fort Screven in Savannah Wednesday
afternoon, in speaking of the game
yesterday, said: Savannah has a
strong team, but the work of the team
is slow and the quarterback was tardy
with his signals, and the men did not
seem to throw themselves into the
scrimmages with the ardor and aban-
don which used to characterize the
work of Savannah. The players are
rather youthful, judging from their
appearance, but their staying powers
were above the average.
The backs did most of the work;
in fact. two men carried the ball in
almost every play. Mass plays were
used almost exclusively, though there
were a few end runs: but the half
backs hit the line in almost every
play, and while they did not shirk,
they appeared exhausted before the
game was over. The tackle back for
nation was used with success.
i think Fort Screven had the bet
ter line of the two teams. The SOL
diers have improved very much since
they played here, but 1 do not think
Savannah would have been able to
make so high a score as did Charles
ton even had they played Fort Screven
