Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-22

minister Abbey OF the United
States was turned over in
lump to the football army to-day.
Some 10000 perfectly useful men
aha women, including the student
hbdles OF half dozen colleges, have
aren possession of this well known
Grey and were concentrating on Har-
vSfd Stadium for the great Yale
Harvard football game this afternoon.
II was figured that fully $4,000 was
bet on the game in this city In the
rkst three days
sThe last reports from the outlying
pfecincts where the fighting forces OF
tie two universities were encamped
were to the effect that the teams
were as At as time and money and
experts could make them. Captains
Rstcham and Storer were quoted as
saying that they felt ready for the
fight OF their lives and they hoped
that an American would win 1t.
THERE is some unea siness in the
Yale camp over the condition OF
Markings knee Marting is the cen
ter rush, doubling with Captain
Ketcham in that capacity, and he Is
net expected to DO any kicking--that
is to say, he is not expected to do any
of the kicking of the football In the
course of the riot.
But In the dear old pastime as she
is played by the genial boys you never
can tell when good, earnest surrep-
s,tious kick will be grand stroke for
lhe dear old alma mater, and II is
Sust as well to have both legs in good
shape
The captain himself we are happy
10 report, was never better. They say
-he has been knocking his sparring
partners around to beat the band.
Head Coach Jones comes forward
with the announcement that his bunch
swiIl present the same Blue line OF
heroes that faced Princeton week
ago This does not speak very well
For Princeton. and practically eliml-
mates that bunch for consideration for
1rfs season.
BULLETINS from a bush league
r. station known as Tyngsboro bring
the glad tidings that Harvard has
nothing to fear The team left there
date this morning on the way to the
sSatdium, with every man fully expect
Ing TO do his duty. There was some
,uneasiness about the condition of Mr,
-sHardwick and Mr.. Hitchcock. Neither
sbf these gentlemen is at all fractured
left for this place in the provinces
few days ago IL was observed that
both OF them looked rather drawn, as
If 1t had taken too much out of them
To make the weight
There was a good deal of indgna-
dion about IL. too, for il Is well known
That all of these battles are at catch
weights But the rest of several days
IS Expected to have them fixed up.
IN the last practice of the varsity
Il the celebrated young Mr.. O'Brien
was not performing at his performing
place on end quivering gasp of
CONSERVATION quivered through the
2 student body when a Mr.. Dana was
observed at that position. But those
in authority hastily assured the loyal
progeny OF John Harvard that Mr.
O'Brien would be there with both fsts
and a pair of feet when the gong
sounds this afternoon.
.r, Consider this. Mr.. Children, " is
wonderful tIp-off on the Harvard of
to-day. Here is the whole outfit
Wrought up over the prospect of an
YBrien being replaced by a Dana.
Why, we can bark back to a day when
an O'Brien would have been lucky to
be able to buy ticket for the game,
= much less land a place on the team,
That things have changed is the prin-
cipal reason that Harvard was
+. s3tTht favorite over Yale.
; - Our modest forecast of the betting
. nrSyyed as accurate as the habit OF
alif. modest forecast. There was
frM@of talk, of 10 to s and 10 TO on
Hkrvard, but In strictly college cir
1&a the bulk OF the betting was al
exam money. But technically Harvard
WIS the favorite, for while her fair
sSAs would. not stick up any reckless
odds on victory, they were willing
Mkive odds that Harvard would score
%Nesnany points as her rival, This is
merely another way of betting that
Yale will not do better than tie.
THESE added much TO the gayety
L OF the assembled populace. One
of the most popular sports here on
the night before the Yale game is TO
sit around the Hobbies OF the hotels
and watch the expression on the faces
of the tardy guests and plying clerk
when an unprecedented demand for
7 s-foom is made.
! ,AAll of the store windows, saloons
! AND other popular spots of the his
toric city were decorated TO the fun
! limit of endurance with the deep Grim
son and heavy blue of the opposing
! armies.
Mayor Fitzgerald, who is one of the
I best little announcers eNtant, an
nounced that the keys of the city had
been turned over TO the football horde,
THIS was doubtless commendahle
{ Only kick is that. judging from the
, sounds that assaulted our windows all
through the night, Mayor Fitzgerald
forgot TO take the keys TO the wine
: cellars off the ring before he turned
: the keys of the city over.
