Referee Of Tech Sewanee Game.


r. IGURATIVELY speaking, the
4 Yellow Jackets tied several
hard and fast knots in the tail
of the Sewanee Tigers at Grant Field
Saturday afternoon.
Figuring from the standpoint OF the
proper way to play the gridiron game

ed in Dallas when they held the husky
Texans to a margin OF one touch

The Tech team had all the drive
that coul dbe asked. They appeared

again Cook, Patten, Preas and others
smashed into the port wing OF the
Tigers, and almost without fail they
got satisfactory results. These play

Furthermore the Tech team con-

forward pass. Several long shots were
successfully executed. resulting di
