Lost on a tiuke. Sewanee
/ and Georgia tied. Tech and
Georgia meet next Saturday at
n.,ra DeLeon park. Figure it out

rnOTBALL GAME? Well, from
.,t. ,ngle it looks suspiciously like

man who studied the two teams
would say that Georgia would de-
feat Tech by three touchdowns. But
robodv who has followed the Tech
team of late believes that Georgia

sven the most rabid admit that it
is going TO be mighty close.
The Georgia team is good-it is
made up of fine individual players,
#, is well drilled, it will be in per-
feet condition for the Tech game.
ON mere poundage it ought to beat
the Tech team. And the players
Of form will gamble that way, and
nobody blames them.
The fact is, though, that Tech is
.s.ng to be about as dangerous an
opponent as Georgia cares to tao
Isle.
THE reason you can't figure the
Tech team is that 1t so often
r.ave better than it knows how.
And it's made up of the gamest,
-.rapptest little Turks that ever
cot 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
,fous charging has ever been seen.
Of course. there has been harder
ularging-but never by q team that
was outweighed twelve pounds to

It's easy enodgh to make a good
showing when you are winning and
aaen you have it on your oppo-
nest in strength. weight and speed.
But it takes real native courage to

Those Jackets didn't know they
We're beaten. ON the last play be-
fore the last whistle blew they
We're charging just as hard as they
had been at the start.
Now. when 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
l'a there is every chance they will
win.
They viii, however. find them
selves uiaying against corking
football team. ana they will be
1ycly jostled before the pickering
is completed.
