MADE GOOD SHOWING
MONTGOMERY ELEVEN sec i AGAINST AUBURN.
Old Polytechnic Stars Are Able To Hold This Years cam To Only Four
 ouch Downs In Scrim- mR&e. t..

In their first game of the season, played yesterday afternoon at Auburn, members of the Montgomery eleven de- monstrated that with little practice one of the best teams in the South can be developed, scoring once in the collegians. and holding them to four touchdowns.
 Considering that 1t is the first scrim- mage engaged in by the Montgomery players, and that they were lined up against a team which is but a few days fro mtheir opening game of the sea son, the showing was a most remarka- ble one It either indicates that Au- burn has a weak team this season or that Montgomery has assembled an eleven Of old college stars that VIII give all corners a strong argumnehht, n hc,,s was not spectacular, nothing put straight football being played, with the exception of two forward passes, the collegians was directed, in the main. at Montgomery's left end, with an occasional fake buck through the tackles
 made by Mcqueen, who went the dis tance of the field. This was the most brilliant play of the game, and ellclted much applause from the thousand spec tators present There was also some brilliant work by aCptain Paterson and J H. Paterson.
 The Montgomery team was formally organized Friday night, after several informal meetings and practices, Goode M Guerry. formerly manager of the famous Blue and White eleven of Sa- vannah. was elected as manager.
 James Patterson. former star of Auburnc backfeld. was selected as captain of the team, and will have charge of the coaching. In addition to Captain Patterson there are five other old Auburn stars, Pierce, who Is cen ter W R. Patterson at right tackle, Mcqueen at right Fsnd, J. T. Patter- son at left end. ana Perkins at quar-
 The other members of the team which played yesterday are Moriarty at right guard; Tombstone and Booth at left guard. Levy at tackle, Bills at left half, Herndon at right half. Keen interest is being displayed ed in reviving interset in a city team. such as has been aroIsed in Savannah, | Jacksonville and Charleston, where | the interest is as keen as blt any col | lege, and where thousands turn out
 on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.
 It is the intention of the local play | CTS to arouse sufficient interest here | to secure moral and financial support | for u representative team that will be l able to hold its own with any of these | three cities CT with any college team. l It is probable that a game will be ar | ranged with the University of Alabama some tune durin gthe winter, and a | game with Auburn during the fair Is l being talked of.

 No one knows Jeff's personal napits hetter than Billy Delaney, who en- gineered the boilermaker's pugillstlc campaign since Jeff first heard the call of the wild.
 Delaney, while exchanging yarns with a number of Broadway reliabies recently in New York; came across with the following:
 There Is no truth in this talk about Jeff being comfortably flxeo. He hasn't got cent in the world ne living around on all sides. he absolute ly refuses to come out in the lime light. On the money question Jeff IS as simple as q school-boy, He loses in every financial enterprise that ne goes into. That ranch of his cost al least ten thousand dollars and doesn't produce enough alfalfa during season to keep a Shetland pony in feed over night. and, what more he owns a very little part of the ranch in his own right. Most of it belongs to his wife.
 "Contrary to repute. Jeff's wife is anxious to have her husband get nack into the fighting game. It's the pig fellow himself who is holding back Why, Jack Johnson has offered to enter the ring with Jeff for lump of two thousand, five hundred collars.
