Hundreds OF football fans are pour
Ing into Atlanta Friday evening for
the classic struggle between Georgit
and Auburn at Ponce DeLeon Park
Saturday afternoon, which decides the
cham ionship OF the South.
Within the next "a hours we shat
know which is to be the title holder
for one whole year A good many
people think they know right now. and
all those who do not think they know
,, are very anxious to be told.
When It. comes to records, 1t ap-
pears to me that Auburn has a shads
the better Of the comparison. Thay
! defeated Clemson. 90 to 0. while
Georgia could only score an rs to Is
win over the Tigers. Against Tech
Auburn scored one more touchdown
than did Georgia. Outside of these
two teams, they played no others N
common, but so far as this goes the
record is in favor OF Auburn.
Another reason for thinking An
burn will wtn-for that is what
think-comes from comparison Of
physical condition. Tech was able to
hold Auburn scoreless for the whole
Of the first half. but she wasn't abls
to hold out against them through the
second half

Against the Athenians. however tho
exact reverse WAS the case, and the
longer the game went on the weaker

belief that Auburn will have more en-
durance than Georgia
Then, again. It must be borne In
mind that Georgia WIS able to score
her first touchdown VERY early in
the game as result OF a tumble by
Tech right down close to Techs goal
line. This shocked the Yellow Jack
cts and put them up IN the air for
the whole Of the first quarter, and had
deal to do with Georgia being able
to score their second touchdown "a
well, for the Tech team never camet
down out of tho clouds until the
whole OF the first quarter had elapsed
after that they held Georgia Ieve'
But against Auburn Tech did not
make single tumble all day long
and she held Thorn through the whole
OF the fret half In other words
Tech got away to an excellent starr
against Auburn much better than
had looked for, so that II Tech was IN

How does that look?
There may he others who win dir
