"HERE are those who believe
strongly that the man who
jumps out of his corner at the
first tap of the gong and soalts the
other fellow with pile driver to the
jaw before the latter has really warm
ed up to the business at hand packs a
decided advantage in the outcome OF
succeeding events.
To these 1t should be a matter OF
little difficulty to explain the fact
that Georgia rang up couple OF
touchdowns on Tech in less than fif-
teen minutes and then failed to count
again in 40 minutes of playing time
remaining, 1t makes little difference
whether said punch is made possible
by extra vigilance on part of the par
ty Of the first part or through the
shortcomings Of the party of the sec
ond part, The advantage Is the same
in either case.
In the Tech Georgia game it hap
pened that the opening for the hay
maker developed through a fault OF
Tech rather than through extra dill
gence on part of Georgia. That bug
aboo of every coach, tumble, pro-
duced the medium in this case.
II you saw that game you no doubt
recall that Georgia kicked to Tech
and the Jackets ran the ball back
several yards to their 25-yard line
Here several short gains were made
and then a Tech back dropped the
ball. Big John Henderson draped his
bulky form about 1t, and then Geor-
gia began her triumphant march to-
ward the Tech goal. This march end
ed when Bob McWhorter tore through
the Tech line for a 3-yard gain and a
touchdown.
tumble Results in Score.
Again Tech received the kickoff
and made a fair return. A tumble
which was recovered lost them a
down without gain. The three re-
naming downs netted about yards
and the ball went over into Georgia's
possession for the second time faI
down in Tech territory. Another vic
torious pilgrimage toward the Jackets
line was taken up, ending wher
Crump dashed through the line FOL
the second touchdown.
From the above it is plain that the
Athenians PIT the Jsckets In the hole
early in the game by swift, telling
punches from the start They dlc
this by taking advantage quickly OF
the Jackets costly fumbles.
In the above there is no intention
to laeve the impression that Georgia
got her margin through any lucky
turn. On the other hand, the readi-
ness with which they realized the turn
things were taking and the speed with
witch they appropriated this turn tc
their own benefit shows their alert
ness in meeting the situation as II
arose. AS much depends on taking
advantage of the other fellows mis-
takes as does on forcing the issue on
your own initiatives
Good Game After First Quarter.
After the first quarter, the game
was a see-saw affair, with neither
team able to gain consistently enough
to register a touchdown. However
the Georgia team showed more
strength at the rush game, and had ar
adge in this department of play. In
the final period Tech cut loose with
number of forward passes. Sew
eral of these worked successfully, but
they failed to land a touchdown
mainly because of the fact that the
Georgia team appeared to line It's de-
