man, was defeated yesterday afternoon by Georgia, 11-5.
 The same was a good one, being, in spite of intense heat, full of snap and spee.acu!ar plays. In addition to its su- perior weight. Georgia had an advantage in ability 10 gain, and in bunting. Ala halna $ oTense and defense was as bril- liantlv persl rmed as could have been eX- peeted Cn paper, Georgia looked at least three tolcauowns the stronger.
 The first touchdown of the Red and Black was scored in the first quarter, and was 7avod by fumbed punt. Moody, | playing hack CT the Alabama line. lost the bail ill tEe sun Georgia, thus en- couraged made a vigorous rush to the goal, AIeWhofter gong over the line alter a terrible plunge.
 l In the second quarter Alabama had the advantage, chiefly through a spectacular run by Bamngartner who, receiving the ball on a tumble, dashed e5 yards toward the Georgia goal.

 The Final Quarters
 l The most spectacular fighting occurred in the fourth quarter. Georgia had pos l session of the ball on Alabama's P yard line. and was confronted by the necessity 1 of carrying il over in two downs. Wood | ruff, ly cieverly lodging through the 1 line, ate away five yards, and Malone | plunge through center netted another. But | the plucky Aiabamians had checked the heavier visitors, and the ball was theirs. i Then occurred a miserable punt by | MooGy, the ball with little speed and at q very slight height, curving within b yards out of bounds Brought back into plar, the pigskin rested on Alabama s + yard line, the unlucky punt having netted but five yards. In two downs Georgia had rne ball within 12 yards of the Ala banla goal, and it appeared probable that the visitors would again fail to score. But | McWhorter, at that instance, was seen ! hurting around right end, and behind strong interference. plunged across the | line without an effort. Powell kicked goal.
 McNhorter was the distinct star of the Georgla ouift. Woodruff though he oc- casionally displayed the form which made | him famous last season, was not, as whole, up to standard. H. Nandergraaff was Alabama's s star performer. His tack l ling and fierce end over end runs fre quently electrified the spectators. The most spectacular run of the game was | by Baumgartner this opening the way for 1 the dfop kick of Moody. Both teams erl- ployed the forward pass with frequent success, and both displayed knowledge of l the game and fine spirit. Georgia, while ! heavier than Alabama, was but fraction | slower. The game occurred before 15,000 people, and the intermissions were lively with airship flights and motorcycle races.
 Trick of the Sun
 The game was late in starting on ac- count of fair attractions. But at 3:9O 1 o'rlock the referees whistle opened the | campaign. Georgia won the toss and ch 'se the western goal, making 1t neces- sary for Alabama to defend the goal on which the sun was gleaming maliciously. This sun, as will be told, was indirectly responsible for Georgias first touchdown.
 Alabama kicked to Georgia and the visitors, after a slight gain by Me l II. ranged high and passing through the sun was lost by Moody, and bounding from his arms, It landed at the feet of Conklin. This misfortune slightly rattled the Alabamians, and before they could recover. McWhorter had ploughed his way through the red line for the first touchdown. Alabama then kicked out, and Georgia again started a wig orous campaign toward the Alabama In hn rI Tn firm h n occurred and Finnell of Alabama fell on the ball 1t was kicked out, and with Georgia holding the swineskin on Alabamas 45 yard line the quarter ended.
 In the second quarter Alabama had a distinct advantage, and so cleverly and fiereely did the red backs worm the ball toward the Georgia goal that hope surged to the top and college yells pierced the air. Alabamas advantage was gained chiefly through the failure of one of Georgias forward passes The ball flew straight into the out stretched arms of Baumgartner, and that speed merchant started like light ming toward the Georgia line. After a spectacular dash of 65 yards he was hauled down. Alabama however, had difficulty in gaining, and resorting to an incompleted forward pass lost the ball. Georgia was held, and Ala bama recovering the ball, Moody missed a drop kick. Georgia, however, could do little against the strong defense of Alabama, and a pun, was resorted to. Alabama, recovering the ball, fought 1t back to Georgia's 35 yard line. and Moody was successful in driving the ball through the bars. Georgia Kicked out. II. Vandergraaff made a spec tacular run of 20 yards around the visitors right end. The quarter ended immediately thereafter with the ball in Alabama's possession on it's own 40 yard line.
 In the third quarter which was lacking in spectacular runs. Georgia had the lighter Alabamians on the de- fensive throughout, and the crimson
 white line was in almost perpetua danger of being crossed. The gallantry of the A1abamians, however prevented a score the quarter ending with the II ball on Alabama's 12 yard line. To the Il Alabama supporters. the greatest dis appointment came after moment ot intense delight in the final quarter oi / play.
