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 hoarsely
the refrain he had been shouting all
the afternoon:
TEL with Tech"
And that's why Fax Montague, who
occupies the same respective position
among the men of Georgia Tech, an
swered him defantly but huskily as
they glared at each other across the
sidewalk in front of Nunnally's:
Tell with Georgia"
A tired business man, his arms full
of bundles from the Saturday night
shopping, pushed his way through the
crowd of r1bboned youths who clog
ged traffic on Peachtree street.
ITO the same place with all of you,"
he growled. Il 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 a metropolis.
He found he couldn't cross the
streets except at the hazard of his
life from speeding automobiles filled
with yelling maniacs who : slapped
him in the face with red and black
remnants, or who knocked off his hat
with gold and white streamers, and
who sang GLORY to Old Georgia or
yelled Tech a-reck" in his confused
ears.
Only there wasn't so much Of
"Tech-a-reck" as ~. of GA"
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-
Wav along Peachtree, beginning soon
after the great crowd left Grant
Field after the football game in
which the husky bunch of the Uni
versity of Georgia trounced--
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
nened after the game, when an unin-
teIIigible army of college men took
charge Of Atlantas 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, tell
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 flush of victory,
and before the Tech men got rid of
their desire for bloody revenge, events
bade fair to take on the appearance
of an Irish wake. There came a &C.
ries of stirring conflicts, close on the
heels Of one another.
A certain element with a mellow
ing influence was an aggregation OF
of the prettiest girls in the world $50

singly and collectively, announced)
from Brenau
They were bewitching maidens, and
each had the whistle of her favorite
fraternity on her lips. Mr.. Tech and
Mr.. Georgia were both well behaved
gallants in the presence of the girls.
