son who again took the ball and scored
a touchdown. The crowd went wild
with enthusiasm, only to be hushed
a few moments later when a claim OF
the visitors that some uniformed Sa-
vannah man had rushed behind the
goal post, making twelve men in uni
form on the field. was sustained as a
technical violation of the rules of the
game, and the goal was lost.
Too Much WrangIing.
All through the contest there was en-
tirely too much kicking and wrangling.
Each time the ball was snapped time
out" was called for opposing players
to engage in an argument.
Capt. Cope permitted none on the Sa-
vannah team to engage in these argu-
ments, and JacksonvilIe's kicks were
registered with the umpire and referee
alternately.
The officials were not positive enough,
and the retirment of one or two of the
offenders to the side lines would have
greatly assisted in keeping down rough
house performances.
Following is how the game was play
ed:

and this touch down, too was disal-
lowed. When the teams finally lined
up, after much wrangling over the de-
cision of the referee in disallowing the
touchdown, a fisticuff among the play
ers brought the crowd on the field.
most of whom were boys curious to
see Just what was going on. 1t was
then so dark that the game was called
by mutual agreement.
