SOME NEW MATERIAL OFFERED
FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM

nah, than there were several appli-
cants for the place, and out of the ma
terial offered, it is believed the heaYi-
est and hardest fighting forwards ever
put on a Savannah gridiron will be de-
velo2ed.
New Men Were Out.
Both Joe Rossiter and Joe Black
failed to attend the practice in uni
form last night, but both stated they
would attend from now on. Rossiter
ran through some of the plays, and no
one doubts he will do his part.
Three new figures in uniform were
Launey who is trying for either an
end or half back position; Seely and
Strong, who are trying for guards.
L4auney weighs about 140, but is fleet
as deer and understands the game
which counts for much Seeiy is the
most powerful man who has ever been
an applicant for a position on the
team. Six feet and two inches in
hight. weighing ZIG pounds, with not
an ounce of surplus flesh, he is
yeritable demon in action.
Paschal Strong is the other appli-
cant for a guard position. Strong IS
six feet three inches, weighs 100
pounds, and runs like deer. Capt.
Cope says the two men are unusually
promising. and hopes to develop them
in time for the christmas Bdhhe'
COrnweII "a FuIIback.
Capt. Cope made several changes In
the line up for last nights practice.
Lansberg, Hicks, Highams and Futeh
were absent. Monsees was sent in at
center, Strong and Seely at the guards,
Johnson and Artly at tackles, Short
ridge at quarterback, Harmon and
Sullivan at halves, Cornwell at full
back and Cubbedge and Doty at the
ends.
Cornwell may be used altogether in
the back field. His punting is strong
factor, and as the teams which will
oppose Savannah have unusually
strong secondary defenses, Capt. Cope
will put as much weight behind the
line as possible. Johnson will go back
at tackle, and Rossiter will play
tackle position, Artly possibly being
switched over to an end. In fact, there
is little certainty about the positions
as they will be finally given out. There
has been a disposition on the part of
some of the men to shirk their work
in games as we'll as in practice, and
no matter how valuable a man is, this
will not be tolerated.

With Savannah's fighting blood fair

night, drew out many new faces and
sturdy forms. which will fight for the
honor and glory of the Blue and White

Capt. Cope has settled down to

will not know what the word quit

full absence of that old Savannah fight
ing spirit. which was so noticeable in
the play of some of the men in the
games already played this year.
When Savannah played the Florida
State College the excuse for the slug
gish work of the men was that it was
not necessary to play hard. The same
story was advanced in the Fort Screw
en- game. but this would not suffice
in the Jacksonville game, and there
will be a general shaking up in the
Blue and White line.

been made that Highams, the stall

suits of the extreme conservatism of
the rule makers have been made in the
last two years in the regulations, but
a more radical departure is demanded.
Both the Princeton and Harvard
games with Yale were finished this
year with not more than three Incl
dents out of the ordinary. The re-
mainder Of the time it was simply an
exhibition of brute strength which be-
came so wearisome that people yawned
over 1t.
College men exclaimed: "For heav-
ems sake, why don't they do some
thing?"
Later this sentiment was expressed:
1.-THE rule makers should get in and
accomplish something which shall
make ii possible for man at least to
run with the ball once in a while, and
not expect that he must catapult a
line with a forlorn hope of making at
least one yard"
1t has been suggested that each
member of a team be compelled to play
his position; In other words, no tack
les be brought back or guards to run
the ball.
