Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-28


n, 10 to 0, Saturday afternoon at
| Grant Field, in a game that came
pretty close to breaking the
record for the number of entries
in the lineup. Fully a thousand
persons turned out to watch the
practice game.
And Tech looked pretty good.
Straight football was the cue. With
the exception OF three attempted for
ward passes-not one OF which was
completed-the Jackets might have
been playing a game back in the nine
ties. The old, crushing mass plays
were missing, Of course, but there
was line plunglng in plenty, varied
| by sweeping end runs, for all tho
world like the earlier type Of football,
| before it was dehorned- There was
no similarity to basket ball
Tech Back Field Looked Good.
AS was expected, the Tech back
field showed up well, considering the
stage Of the season. The thermome-
ter, too, was batting about rs in the
shade, and the sultriness made fast
work out of the question for any
great stretches.
Mcdonald, Preas and Johnston dII
| the scoring for Tech, and also figured
in breaking up the attack of the Sol
diers on the rather infrequent occa-
sions when they had the ball.
Two minute periods passed
without a score, the play being fairly
| even, though mostly in Army terri
| tory. Homer Cook got away for a 30
yard sprint around right end in the
second period, and in the same see
! ton Fielder circled the other end 70.
| % yards. Cook Goree and Preas also
did some line plunging, but the weight
of the Soldiers and ragged work nv
the Jackets kept the gains from COM
ing consistently.
Penalties were rather frequent ia
the first two periods. mostly for
hacking" or unlawful use of the
arms I'm the line, with Tech SUFFERING
loss of Is yards on three occasions.
Heisman Passed the Pepper.
Coach Heisman gave evidences 4
not being delighted with the showing
OF his team in the first half and pro-
| ceeded to read the riot act to the
Jackets during the intermission.
The infusion OF ginger was prompt
| ly perceptible. Preas kicked of AMI
the Soldiers produced a couple OF
roughing 1t. In midfleld tho Army
tried a forward pass Goree inter
lcepted the heave, caught the ball and
sprinted 40 yards, being downed on
the Soldiers S-yard line. Mcdonald
slipped around left end on the next
play and crossed the line, PreaS kick
ing an easy goal.
Score: Tech, 7; Soldiers, o.
| Jim Preas was the next yellow
Jacket to get into the hero class.
Jim kicked off to Moore, a terrific
| standing on his own goal line. He
| fumbled, recovered the ball, and ran
ii back 10 yards. After three inef-
fectual efforts to crack the Tech line,
| Moore punted 40 yards to Mcdonald.
| who ran the ball back IL yards to the
| Soldiers 35-yard line.
Preas Makes Another.
Preas was fired at left tackle,
found a suitable opening, and slipped
| through for a Zig-zag dash to the
goal line through a broken backf1eld.
He failed to kick an easy goal and
the score was: Tech, Is; Soldiers, 0.
The remainder Of the period pro
| duced a 3O-yard end run by Boree
and another by T. Montague, who re-
| lieved Fielder, who had previously
| taken McDonald's place at left half
| Tech found the ball slippery, and lost
| chances by fumbling, while the Sol
| diers tried out the forward pass with
| no luck. Tech also tried 4 forward
pass. the ball hitting the ground right
between the Soldiers goal posts, after
| which the period ended.
Preas took another whtrl at the
game in the fourth quarter, and when
| the Soldiers elected to kick instead
| Of to scrimmage Jim led OF with
fine 30-yard run through a scattered
| field. After two failures to gain
ground through the line. Preas punt
ed over the Soldiers goal line.
Fielder In a Sprint.
The Soldiers kicked out once more
and Fielder got away for a sprint OF
40 yards that landed the ball on the
| Army's 10-yard line. Preas tore off
half the distance through tackle, and
| Johnston slipped through for the final
| touchdown, in the corner of the grid
| iron.
The ball was kicked out and caught
| fairly, but Preas missed an easy
| chance to add the odd point and the
| score was: Tech, 10: Soldiers, O.
The remainder of the game served
| to show off Homer Cook in pretty
! end runs and the Tech outfit in some
more fancy fumbling, which cost an
! other apparently certain touchdown,
! giving the Soldiers the ball on downs
| after it had been worked to the 4
| yard line. Then Tech had the ball
again on the Armys 25-yard line,
only to lose It on another tumble.
The final whistle stopped the play
at this juncture.
Back at the Grind Again.
Heism7n wasted no time in con-
graulations. The yellow Jackets au-
