n JEW YORK, November IL
M Georgia's defeat of New
4 Y York University at the
Polo Grounds on Saturday
was more convincing than the
score would suggest.
Another touchdown would have been
recorded had not Maffett, the Georgia
right end, stepped Just outside the end
zone in catching pass, and upon at
least two other occasions adverse breaks
prevented scores,
The Violet may find another team
from below the Mason and Dixon line
troublesome, too. when II engages
GEORGETOWN here next Saturday.
Years and years ago the writer saw
the first Of the Southern teams in
action in Northern invasions-North
Carolina and Virginia. He has followed
other Dixie outfits as they crossed the
Mason and Dixon line-Georgia Tech
at Pittsburgh and In New York, Ala
bama at Philadelphia, Syracuse and
West Point, Southern Methodist at West
Point and South Bend and Georgia at
New Haven and in New York,
He has seen practically all games
which Southern eleverS have played in
the North and many important con-
tests in the South.
Georgia Well Equipped.
Thus equipped with experience, the
writer asserts that In offensive tech
nique, defensive precision, in blocking,
interference, ball handling, in mental
and physical poise this 1880 Georgia
team Is qualified to stand with the best
teams that the South has ever pro-
duced.
And today, irrespective Of section,
Georgia holds o definite place among
the 1890 elect.
Modern foot ball Is very exhaustine.
So nice Is it in all its interlocking
details that the breaking or wearing of
Q part may well bring about wreckage.
You never can tell about the future of
foot ball outfits these days. One may
with comparative safety proceed only
from week to week.
But what has been said about Georgia
in her present form certainly will meet
with the approval of all. irrespective Of
college affiliation, who saw this eleven
beat New York University.
II this team on Saturday had been
imbued with a sense of Just how good
have been beaten by q surprising score,
For Georgia knows the art Of advancing
the ball by rushing and by throwing.
The backs are perfectly co-ordinated
with the line, and the cleaning up that
takes place all over the field when an
Athenian has the ball 10 inspiring to
watch.
The line charge is prompt and vicious.
and the filling In for men who come
out Of the line to run interference is
perfect.
One attempt at scoring play-it
Ialleu because of bad position to one
size OF the neld--was a perfect revela-
lion IN It's expert feinting and variation
ing was excellent, especially on FAT wide
plays, and it was nicely interviewer into
the attack.
Violet Blocking Weak.
New York fell down badly in her
blocking when she was on attack and
IN the failure of her backs to keen the
Two great Georgia ends out of the back
ileid. This was due as much to the
Dixie teams quick, slashing charge e.
70 anything, as well as to the lightning
and Smith, the Georgia ends,
The one material New York advanca
which led to the Violet score was made
wnen Georgia had substitutes IN the
lne. When they we're relieved by the
regulars 1t was too late to ston the
attack.
In writing Of the Florida Ranae The
writer took occasion to criticize Mattox.
On Saturday he redeemed iinaseIf
grandly. He alone souelclned MANY New
YORK plays in their inception and proved
nlmsen TO be one of the great guards
the writer has seen this season. Mat
Iett ana Smith have no superiors as a
pair OF ends. Roberts and Dickens
put why pick out names when it Is the
team that Is great2 ~ = '-'e
