n over the proper setting for the
battle, 1t has been definitely
settled that the Georgia Tech foot
ball game IL to be reality. Fur

within very short time. or 70 be
exact on Saturday afternoon at
Grant Park. a preponderance OF evil
dence having been submitted in
Techs favor.
The gentleman who in the dim
past arose to remark that certain

might again step forth very timely
and reiterate his sentiments refer
ring to the coming conflict. II IL
doubtful whether the Red and Black
and the Orange and white ever
laced a football battle on more sQuRl
terms.
So far the two teams have mot had
a common foeman, although their
schedules call for games with the
same teams in two cases. Georgia
mas met and defeated Clemson while
Tech has yet to meet the Carolina
Tigers. The Jackets have lost hon
prably. to Auburn, while Georgia is
slated to tackle the Plainsmen in
little more than a week.
Each team has suffered defeat
once. Georgia went down before the
PUSHES OF Virginia This was rather

his year have a team that recalls
the old days Of "Bev" Pollard, Ham
inond Johnson and others. Also
Auburn has a regular team. The

Hence the statement that Tech lost
honorably to Auburn,
from the above II may be noted
1 that but little dope arising from
comparative scores may be had. Up
TO the AHburn game Tech was com

each successive game. And IL may
also be said that their showing
against Auburn was not such that
ID might be considered any serious
break in their development, for we
ask permission 10 state again that
Auburn has regular team
on the other hand. tho Red and
Black IN their last two games out
have not looked quite as good as they
did n their game with Virginia, This
however, may he explained by the
fact that in Carolina and Clemson
hey considered that they were not
going TO meet very stiff opposition,
and their standard Of play was there
by allowed 10 drop perceptibly. In
this connection, II may be said that
in the last ten minutes Of the Glenn

up form and would have been dan

TWO come together often enough to
know that when the first whistle
blows any form sheet on past per
formanCes in preceding games Of the
season may prove interesting read
ng from disinterested standpoint
but as a tip on the results of the
melee at hand would be about as
valuable as perusinR the famboyant

LENCE we may as we'll get down TO
the undeniable facts dealing with
he assets OF the two teams Each

ay, thereby eliminating any man for

are several who are likely to draw
practically continuous assignments
snd all of these acre distinctly known
quantities
on the Georgia squad there are
McWhorter, Henderson, Conklin. De
Asperriere. Malone and Paddock. All
of these have met the Jackets before.
and may therefore be regarded as
veterans.
We are betrayinE no secret when
We say that McWhorter win draw tho
bulk Of the offensive work for the
Red and Black, or rather Of advanc-
ing the bail. Bob has been In har-
ness at Athens for four years and
has vet to see his team go down in
defeat on the grldiron before : Tech
team. Then too this rs his last wear.
and with the exception Of a single
remaining game. this viii no doubt
be his last intercollegiate football
game.
In view Of the above. Sc is hardly
likely that Bob is going 10 spend any
great amount Of time gazing at the
nearby scenery during the allotted
90 minutes of play.
