Score Was 16 to O-DavIs and Streit Do Some Splendid Work-Tech. Braced in Final Quarter
 But Too Late


 burn walked across the border this aft ernoon. and in addition to defeating Tech with comparative ease, broke the mighty heart of Coach J. w. Heisman, and shat tered much Of Atlantas spirit of egotism. The score was Is to 0.
 The game brought about a scene which should live long in memory. About 400 students of Auburn were scattered along the sidelines and in addition a phalanx of Birmingham rooters, 125 strong, did yeoman-like service for the orange and blue. Opposing to this horde weer about GOD Tech students, all of Atlanta, and the aforementioned Heisman.
 The Auburn band, on one side, vied in the strength of it's notes against the Tech band on the opposite side. And the day vas dark and dreary. with a fine rain, which fell with a chill.
 But Auburn needed little assistance from the sidelines. The visitors outplayed Tech in practically every department of the game. They showed nothing brilliant on the offense, but they continually plugged at Techs line and continually sRirted Techs ends for short gains Be- heath the greater weight, Tech crumbled. Had the day been fairer, many contend that Tech would have made a better showing. On the other hand, many be- lieve that had the field been fast, Auburn would have doubled the final score
 Tech did not play well. It did not strike. with its accustomed vigor and strength, and it's speed was. of course, terribly handicapped by the sloppy field. But Tech was guilty of numerous fun- bles-enough to give the battle to Auburn even had the fight been even. Captain Lavis and Streit starred for Auburn, while the entire visiting team did work worthy of special mention. It was a mo- ticeable fact that straight football was played from beginning to end, although Tech. on the offense, displayed a fine re- pertoire of plays-even though these plays seldom netted gains. In the third quar- ter Tech came within three yards of touchdown, but lost the ball on a fum- ble. In the fourth quarter, when no scoring occurred, Tech outplayed the yisi- tors, although this may have been the re- suit of Auburn's confidence that the day was already won.
 Auburn scored in the first. second and third quarters, Manning, Streit and Davis doing the work. Majors goal kicking was poor
 Shortly after the game started fumbles and penalties carried the ball to Techs one-yard line, but the Georgians kicked it out of danger Auburn gradually worked back and through the aid of cleverly placed on-side kick, carried the ball to Techs ten-yard line. Streit in two bucks hit the line for six yards, after which Manning carried the oval around Techs left end for the first touchdown. Goal was missed.
 In the second quarter neither side scored, but the Georgians braced and kept the Alabama squad busy. The ball was puuted frequently up and down the field. Auburns players sifted through Techs lines easily and vice versa, when Au- burn was on the offensive. Because of this only one or two forward passes were successfully made, and in neither case could the runner advance.
 Shortly after the beginning of the sec ond half Streit and Majors of Auburn hit Techs line hard for six, eight and ten yards to a position for field goal. which missed. Tech punted, regained the ball and fumbled, and Streit and Majors took LID their work again with the result that the latter soon carried over the second touchdown, which Majors could not boot through the goal posts.
 Newell, Mccoy and Davis did the ad vanoing for Auburn after the second touchdown and after working the ball back to within striking distance of Techs goal, Auburn lost on a tumble. but soon regained 1t on a tumble by Tech. The ball was carried back to Techs seven yard line, where Davis went through for five yards and then carried the ball over for the third touchdown and last of the game Majors got his toe pointed right this time and kicked goal.
