Manager Frank McIntire has an
nounced finally that the game with the
South Carolina College, scheduled 20
be played here on Thanksgiving, has
been called off. and negotiations are
now pending with the Jacksonville con-
solidated team for a game.
Manager McIntire stated that the de-
mands of the South Carolinians were
such that a game with them under the
conditions they named We're totally
out of the question. These demands
were mentioned in the Morning News
several DAYS ago.
1t is believed that a game with Jack
sonville would be more interesting than
the one with the South Carolina Col
lege, inasmuch as both teams made
the same score against the Florida
State College. No definite arrange
ment has been made yet with the Jays,
but it is believed they will be glad to
come here with the promise of a re-
turn date in Jacksonville.

Learned Many New Tricks.
If it is found possible for the men
to get off Capt. Cope says he will have
practice games every night until the
team is thoroughly drilled. During his
stay at Sewanee Capt. Cope learned
many new tricks under the new rules
governing play, and the Savannah
team will have the benefit of all of
these.
Under the new rules that have been
adopted and enforced during the
present football season one important
change has been evolved by the coaches
in the style of play. Practically every
eleven uses this formation in some of
its numerous phases.
