“In Thompson, Georgia in 1877 the colorfully named Up and At Em club outrageously beat the Skunk Em team, 57-27.” William Joseph Baker, Playing with God: Religion and Modern Sport, p. 93.

We do not find a contemporary confirmation of Thompson, Georgia. The town may have been annexed by another jurisdiction.
