battle. It has been definitely
settled that the Georgia Tech foot
ball game IS TO be a reality. Fur
thermore, said reality will develop
within 9 verv short time, or to be
exact. on Saturday afternoon at
Grant Park a preponderance of evil

Techs favor
The gentleman who in the dim
past arose 10 remark that a certain
contest was sure TO he some game
might again step forth very timely
and reiterate his sentiments refer
ring TO the coming conflict. It is
doubtful whether the Red and Black
and the Orange and White ever
faced a football battle on more equal
terms
So far the two teams have not had
q common focman, although their
schedules call for games with the
same teams i'm two cases. Georgia
has met and defeated Clemson. while
Tech has Vet to meet the Carolina
Tigers. The Jackets have lost hon
orably to Auburn, while Georgia is
slated 90 tackle the Plainsmen in a
little more than a week.
Each team has suffered defeat
once. Georgia went down before the
PUSHES of virginia This was rather
10 be expected since the Nirginians
this year have team that recalls
the old days Of "Bev" Pollard Ham
mond Johnson and others. Also
Auburn has a regular team. The
men from the grand old State or Al
ALBANIA carry with them. safely
packed away in their knapsack, de
Cidedly the best chance Of any team
in Dixie TO land premier honors, IN
less the team from Athens can cut
them down.
Hence the statement that Tech lost
honorably to Auburn.
IRON the above II may be noted
L that but little dope arising from
comparative scores may be had. Up
10 the Auburn game Tech was com
ing along nicely. showing better in
each successive game. And IL may
also he said that their . showing
against Auburn was not such that
81 might be considered any serious
break in their development, for we
ask permission 10 state again that
Auburn has a regular team.
on the other hand, the Red and
Black in their last two games out,
have not looked quite as good as they
did IN their game with Virginia This,
however. may be explained by the
fact that in Carolina and Clemson,
they considered that they were not
going to meet very stiff opposition
and their standard OF play was there
by allowed to drop perCeptihly. In
this connection, II may be said that
in the last ten minutes OF the Glenn
son game. they were playing in jam
up form and would have been dan
Eerous against the best IN this sec

However. with us. advance dope on

Mawruss, nix. We have seen these
two come together often enough to
know that when the first whistle

season may prove interesting read

but as a tip on the results Of the
melee at hand would he about as

LENCE we may as well get down to
the undeniable facts dealing with
the assets OF the two teams Each
squad has enough available material
Cy. thereby eliminating any man for
man comparison. However. there
are several who are likely TO draw
practically continuous assignments
and all of these acre distinctly known
quantities
on the Georgia squad there are
McWhorter Henderson, Conklin. De-
laperriere, Malone and Paddock. All
Of these have met the Jackets before
and may therefore be regarded as
veterans.
We are betrsying no secret when
we say that NcWhorter will draw tho
bulk OF the offensive work for the
Red and Black. or rather OF advanc-

team. Then. too, this Is hts last year,

remaining game. this will no doubt
BE his last intercollegiate football
game.
In view Of the above, 81 Is hardly
