at Quarterback.
With indications for clear, cold day
"a benediction for football-the local
football pulse quickens in anticipation
of the struggle at Bolton Street Park
tomorrow.
With the near approach of the first
real hard game of the season, there is
a slight cessation in the strenuous rou-
tine prescribed for the defenders of
the Blue and White. Big, lazy-looking.
from lack of work, athletes, walk the
streets, the cynosure of hundreds of
hopeful eyes.
Beneath that lethargic exterior SUM
bers all the fighting spirit of the tiger
and the tenacity of the bull dog, for
no defender of the royal Blue and
White has ever been chosen who in
clined to the yellow. On the morrow
the tow-headed little leader will whip
the mighty machine into a fury, the
like of which has always brought VIC
tory.
Men in Fine shape.
telegram was received from Man
ager Tom Dozier yesterday asking
that reservations in the stands be
made for 200 Jacksonville rooters.
This is the most substantial intimatiOn
that has yet been received here as to
the confidence of the Floridians to win.
The alarming stories sent out of the
crippled condition of the team seem
to have been the result of the original
ity of some space killer in the Florida
metropolis, as all of the men are pro-
nounced by manager Dozier to be in
the pink of condition.
Savannah will line up tomorrow 25
per cent. stronger than in either Of the
games played here this season. Capt.
Cope has positively stated that he will
direct the play of the team at quar-
terback, and there will be other adj
ditions to the back field of men who
were incapacithated from playing by
injuries
A secret signal practice will be held
tonight at which time Capt. Cope
will introduce some of the new plays
which will be used in to-moTrow's
game. The description of the Won
derful achievements of the prestidigi-
tators on the Jacksonville team was
noted here with much amusement. In
deed, the public will expect to see Mr..
Yaney or Bob Kennedy make the ball
disappear entirely from the game, to
finally land behind the goal post with
a Jay sitting firmly on top Of It.
Ynncy Brothers I'm Game.
Worth Lancy. Hogan Yancy's broth
err, has Joined the Jays, and will be at
fuliback. The rest of those in the
back field are Kennedy at quarterback,
Hogan Yancy left half and Ferris right
half. Coyler and Dodge, both we'll
known here, are playing the ends, and
here is where the real fight will take
place. 1t is figured here that Savan-
nah is fully Is per cent. stronger at
the ends, and in speed these two posi-
lions are not excelled in the South.
Frazee is playing center for the team.
He, also, has played here before.
Jones and Windsor will play the tao
kles, with Townsend and Walters at
guards.
The Jacksonville team will average
eight pounds to the man more in
weight that Savannah, and for this
reason, if for no other the contest will
be interesting. 1t will be a contest
between speed and skill and strength
and determination. 4
Capt. Cope will make short talk to
the members of the Savannah team
tonight and name those who will
start in the first half tomorrow. John
son has been practicing at fullback,
but it is not known whether he will
be maintained at this position. In the
event the sturdy tackle is sent into the
back field Artley will be moved up to
take his place at tackle. At the guards
Hicks and Highams will be relieved, If
the game is well in hand, by Levy
and Monsees.
