The fact is, though, that Tech is
Going to be about as dangerous an

THE reason you can't figure the
Tech team is that it so often
nlsys better than it knows how.
And it's made up of the gamest,
scrarpiest little Turks that ever
go, out in football toys and
scratched and snarled and kicked
and clawed their way along. In
that game with Sewanee Saturday
nothing comparable with their vi
cious charging has ever been seen.
Of course. there has been harder
charging -but never by a team that
was outweighed twelve pounds to
the man and beaten at that, even
trough on huke.
Its easy enough TO make a good
showing when you are winning and
when you have it on your oppo-
nest in strength, weight and speed
But it takes real native courage to
keep right on scrapping after you
are beaten-and beaten by a
stronger, heavier, swifter team.
Those Jackets didn't know they
we're beaten. On the last play be-
fore the last whistle blew they
were charging just as hard as they
had been at the start.
Now, when a team is as game
as this and as resourceful as the
Heisman teams always are there is
no telling what it may do
You can figure that the, Georgia
team will be in top trim for the
Tech game You can figure also
that they will play their hardest
and best in that game. So natural
ly there is every chance they will
win.
They will, however, find them
selves playing against a corking
football team, and they will be
Fu1ely iostled before the bickering
