Play Quarterback in Saturdays
Game.
Driving hard work of the most try
ing kind characterized the work of
the football squad last night, and the
first real scrimmage practice Of the
season was engaged in for a few
minutes. The lights threw 50 many
shadows, however. that this had to be
abandoned for fear of hurting some of
the men in the eve of battle.
In this few minutes of practice, how
ever, many defects of the most glar-
ing nature were observed, and nothing
but hard work will remedy them. The
time is too short now before Satur-
days game to remedy all of them
The material is the best Savannah has
ever had This statement seems pref
ty strong in view of the excellent
teams which have been turned out, but
nevertheless it is a fact.
To criticise the team as it now
stands would be manifestly unjust.
Some of the men have not been able
to attend over three practices. Lands

A TRIP TO THE MOON.
Some of the Odd Things One Might
Find on Such "A Voyage.

Some of the Odd Things One Might
Find on Such "A Voyage.
From st. Nicholas.
How would you like to take a trip
to the moon? 1t would be a long
journey, taking more than six months
if you went with the speed of an ex-
press train; or If you travelled with
the swiftness of ball from a modern
cannon, it would take about as long
as a trip across the Atlantic in fast
steamer. Under average atmospheric
conditions, a large telescope gives up
a view of the moon as it would be
without the telescope at a distance Of
500 miles from us.
The necessary outfit for the journey
must be much more extensive than for
any trip on the earth, even the trip to
the North Pole. There will be no
chance ito live off the country" In
addition to warm clothing and food
you must carry with you all you need
to drink and the problem of keeping
it from freezing or thawing it out II
frozen will not be an easy one to
solve. There is practically no ar on
the moon. and you must take along a
supply for breathing. If you expect
to make fire and cook your dinner
additional supply of air to keep your
fire going
But suppose that in some way you
are landed on the moon with a supply
of things necessary for sustaining
life. II you are on part Of the
moon on which the sun is shining you
will marvel, perhaps, first of all at
the dazzling brilliance Of the sunlight
and the intense blaclxness of the
d., he uh q
will be in almost total darkness, as
there is no air filled with little dust
particles to scatter the sunlight so
that it may illuminate the places out
of the direct path Of its rays.
And what a sense of desolation will
present itself to your view! The
Desert OF Sahara would look like a
luxuriant park in comparison with the
lunar landscape. Not a blade of grass,
not a tree. or brook, or lake-nothing
but a vast, stony, silent desert. There
are plains, not quite as level as our
Western prairies and great numbers
of mountains. most of them much
sleeper than those on the earth; they
are not grouped In long ranges, as
our terrestrial mountains generally
are, but are scattered all over the
surface, singly and in irregular groups.
Most OF them are shaped more or less
like our terrestrial volcanoes, and they
probably were volcanoes ages ago, be-
fore the moon cooled off.
II you happen to land on a part Of
the moon where II is early morning
you will have plenty of time for ex-
plorations before night comes on. The
sun rises and sets as IL does on the
earth, but the time between sunrise
and sunset is nearly fifteen OF our
days. Then during the long lunar
night our earth will act like the moon,
and will light up that part of the
moons surface which Is turned to-
ward f. Only there Will be this GU
rious difference: n will not rise and
set, but will remain nearly stationary
In the same region OF the sky From
the side or the moon which Is always
turned away from us the earth, OF
course, can never be seen az all.

HUNTING THE KANGAROO.
Difficult to shoot ON Account of His
Speed.

Difficult to shoot on Account of His
Speed.
From the Seattle Port Intelligencer.
Tiger skins, elephant tusks, antlers
and dozen other trophies decorated
the smoking room of the huntsman.
you can't guess what this it," he
said, and he took down from the wall
piece of curiously woven mating
1t was about two feet square, green
in color and FIVE inches thick.
This" he explained, lis the breast
plate that is worn in kangaroo hunt
ing. Without it the kangaroo, with a
foreleg blow straight from the should
er, could smash in your chest as though
1t were pasteboard box. This
breastplate is a souvenir of an excit-
ing kangaroo hunt in Australia.
All big game enthusiasts are fami-
liar with tiger shooting. elephant
shooting, the chase of the grizzly, OF
the boar and of the hippo, but, know
few men who have ever hunted kan
garoos.
yet this is an exciting and danger
out sport. The kangaroo, when he is
brought to bay, will fight. He Jumps
straight at you, like a great cat, and
with his forelegs he aims at your chest
two tremendous blows-first the right
and then the left-and these blows,
delivered with a speed and accuracy
that no prizehghter could equal, would
kill you if they landed on an unpro-
tected surface. So you wear, for a
protection, this thick green guard
woven Of native grasses by native wo-
men.
You hunt the kangaroo in sets.
Eight huntsmen compose a set, and
each set employs half dozen native
runners to stalk the kangaroo.
The kangaroo, on being stalked,
comes tearing over the plain straight
at you. He travels with the speed OF
an express train, and he makes great
bounding leaps. One minute he is
crouching on The grass. the next he
is ten feet up in the air. and all the
while. remember, he is going forty
an hour.
Hence he is a mighty difficult object
to shoot. If you fail to shoot him,
and II there is no tree hand, then you
must put your trust in your mating
breastplate. This breastplate OF mine,
you notice, has dent in it.r

FIRST SCRIMMAGE PRACTICE OF
SEASON ENGAGED IN LAST NIGHT


berg has had only two. The coaches
are not disheartened with the task be-
fore them to be performed in two prac-
tices, however. and as long as the men
are able to stand 1t they will be put
through the most severe work possible
tonight and tomorrow night.
There was a noticeable lack of
charging in the line the scrimmage
last night. There also seemed to be
tinidity on some of the new men in
entering the play. This can only be
battle.
Among the former members of the
Blue and White team who are show
ing UP we'll are Sullivan and Lands
berg. Sullivan is playing with more
spirit than ever before, and shows Won
derful speed already. He is perhaps,
the best conditioned man on the team.
OF this years returns Johnson and
Artley are playing with their old time
vigor Futch is passing the ball with
the same steady swing. All of the
men seem to realize that to get place
on the team they have got to work
for it and never before was the contest
so keen.
Gordon Saussy was out last night in
uniform assisting in the coaching, and

Fixing Baseball Park.
A large force of hands were put to
work yesterday getting the park in
shape for Saturdays game. The ar
rangement of the checkerboard this
year will be different from last year
The side lines will be run parallel
with the row of boxes which were
used during the baseball season. The
grand stand and boxes will be used
for patrons. No one will be permit
ted between the grand stand, boxes and
the side lines.
A large number of seats have already
been sold for Saturdays game, and
those who were at first asking just how
much Savannah would win by are
now specializing as to Savannah's
chance to win at all from the strong
Florida team.
