Georgia, IA; Tech. 0, with $4,000
yelling men, women and children look
ing on!
That's why Dick Russell, who, by
virtue of his station as yell leader of
the University of Georgia mob, is a
young gentleman Of considerable en-
inence, had only enough voice left
Saturday night to murmur hoarselv
the refrain he had been shouting all
the afternoon:
Tell with Techl"
And that's why Fax Montague. who
occupies the same respective position
among the men of Georgia Tech. an
swered him defiantly but huskily as
they glared at each other across the
sidewalk in front of Nunnallys;
Tell with Georgia"
tired business man, his arms full
OF bundles from the Saturday night
shopping, pushed his way through the
crowd Of ribboned youths who clog
ged traffic on Peachtree street.
ITO the same place with all of YOU"
he growled. IT think the whole
country's gone crazy tonight"
Staid Citizens BewiIdered.
To the staid and sober citizens who
CHANGED downtown last night It seem
ed indeed that the city was a REIN
carnated Babel. or a Milledgeville
Asylum suddenly grown to the pro-
portions of metropolis.
He found he couldn't Cross the
streets except at the hazard of his
life from speeding automobiles filed
with yelling maniacs who slapped
him In the face with red and black
pennants. or who knocked off his hat
with gold and white steamers, and
who sang GLORY to Old Georgia" or
yelled "Tech- a-reck" in his confused
ears.

Several thousand college boys. old
college boys, near college boys, girls
who were every bit as frantic as all
the boys together, usurped right-of-

What Happened After Game.
Oh, well, If you want to hear about
the great game-one OF our very
greatest games, in fact-turn over to
the sport pages, where Messrs. Heis-
man, Cunningham. Innis Brown,
Farnsworth ct al. will tell you how
Georgia won from Tech IA to after
an Irresistible series Of cross tackle
plunges and orthodox end runs, and
how the Tech men came back after
dazed quarter and fought their hus-
kier foes as pluckily as ever did Leon
idas or bulldog.
This story has nothing to do with
| the football game. 1t Is the result
! of an almost hopeless effort to tell
intelligibly something of what hap
pened after the game, when an unin-
| telligible army of college men took
charge Of Atlanta's streets.
They did It, beyond any peradven-
ture of doubt. Overlooking the
streets, they invaded hotel Hobbies and
frightened negro bell boys into an
awed frigidity.
Then the hotel Hobbies couldn't hold
them, and they chartered automo-
biles and big trucks, and sailed up
and down Peachtree, shouting to the
world, according to their colors, ten
with Georgia or with Tech.
A Few Fights Recorded.
Not more than nineteen fights were
recorded. Early in the evening. be-
fore the Georgia bunch had lost their
cockiness in the first fush OF victory.
and before the Tech men got rid OF
their desire for bloody revenge, evenss
