GEORGIA AND TECH WILL CLASH TODAY Dope on Atlanta Game Favors
 BIackSm'ths BOTH TEAMS DETERMINED Trouble Was Experienced In Arrang- ing the Game, But After Much
 Parleying Plan Was
 Agreed Upon

Atlanta, November u.-(Special)-Th great football game of the season for Att lanta will come at Piedmont park Satur- day when the elevens of the University
 or Georgia and the Georgia School of
 Technology will meet to settle the cham pionship of the state and incidentally
 number of old scores.
 Both teams have been working for the
 game with might and main, and both will go into it to do or die. For several
 months this fall it was feared that the | two teams could not meet owing to dis agreement between the athletic authorities of the two institutions though both stu | dent bodies and both teams were anxious , for the game.
 The trouble all arose over the effort to get into Atlanta on Thanksgiving day,
 whereas for a number of years Georgia and Auburn have met in Atlanta on
 Thanksgiving. Notwithstanding the fact
 that the Georgia Auburn game had come to be considered an institution, the Tech students argued that it was unfair to
 drive an Atlanta college out of the city
 on the best day of the year from a finan- cial standpoint Overtures were made to
 Georgia, but in vain, as the Athens aggre-
 gation wished to keep up their estab-
 lished game with Auburn.
 Secured Long Lease on Park. Last fall, seeing that nothing was to be
 done by permission of Georgia, Tech took the matter in her own hands and secured
 a long-term lease on the Southern league ; baseball park Piedmont park, and an- l nounced a game for Thanksgiving with South Carolina despite the fact that Geor-
 gia was to play the usual Auburn game
 at Brisbine park. Feeling at once began
 to run high. and was greatly increased
 when a few days before Thanksgiving
 part of the grandstand at Brisbine park
 was burned
 The Georgia men have always been in- clined to lay the burning to Tech students and the blacksmiths have bitterly resent ed the charge claiming there was not one
 jot of evidence to sustain the Georgians' suspicion. This year the owners of Bris- brine park converted it into residence
 property and Tech having secured the on- ly other park in the city Georgia was forced to schedule her Thanksgiving
 game this year with Auburn at Macon while Tech will play here against Cum berland university of Lebanon, Tenn. The advent of Coach Heisman at the [ Tech and the subsequent better showing that Tech made calls -or Georgia game almost numberless and finally an agree
 ment was reached for the game Satrr-
 day.
 According to dope Tech should win If
 ccmparative scores count for anything Georgia beat Florida university 02 10
 o at Macon and two days later Tech peat
 the Florida bunch 77 to at Piedmont. At Clemson Georgia went down before the South Carolina farmers 10 to and
 last Saturday at Piedmont Tech held Clemson Il to IL Tech also won from
 Tennessee to while Georgia lost to | South Carolina by the same unusual score At Auburn tAe Alabama boys went after Tech F to and for this req son particularIy Georgia is anxious to
 make as good or better showing against | Tech for the morale it will give the | team for tEe Auburn game.
