y EORGIA beat Tech!

z Those three words mean more
to me, as well as ten thousand
loyal Georgia supporters, than any
hing else in the world. In order
mat we might be able to say those
,hree words, the members Of the
Georgia team have worked hard for
rwo long months, but by the result
OK the game Saturday we feel that
We are repaid for all our efforts. We
have brought all the honor in our
power to old Georgia. and Georgia
beat Tech" expresses all the happ-
ness that we feel.
For four long years the Red and
Black has been victorious over the
Jackets, and for three years the Red
and Black line has not been crossed
by her bitterest and most stubborn
rival. our hardest games have been
with Tech, and we respect her as a
foe worthy Of our best efforts. When
we play Tech we know we have to
play real football, and the best foot
ball We know, to win.
Saturdays game was hard fought
contest from start to finish and the
Georgia team was forced to exert it
self to the limit to prevent Tech
scoring and violating the tradition of
three years. Both teams played
strong football throughout the game
and the contest was not won until
the last whistle blew.
Early Touchdowns Unexpected.
Our early touchdowns We're one Of
the greatest SURPRISES, l think, that
have ever experienced. OF course,
| thought we would win, and every
man on the team went into the game
determined to defeat Tech; but way
down in my heart I feared that the
score would be a tie. l thought that
whatever scoring Georgia did would
be done in the last two quarters, eX-
pecting the first half, at least, to end
without a score by either team3
think my surprise that we scored in
the first two quarters was shared by
every man on the team.
I attribute our victory in a large
measure to the brilliant runs and
generalship of Paddock, and the ter
rife line plunges of Crump. l don't
think l have ever seen a football
lean run better than Georgia was
run by Paddock yesterday. He had
an eye for openings that was re-
markable, and he selected his plays
with Judgment and accuracy that
could not have been bettered. Crump
played the best football OF his career.
His plunging was as good as l have
ever seen; he held his feet well, and
ne went into the plays with de-
termination and vigor that swept the
Tech men off their feet.
Georgia Defense Immense.
Our defense also aided us in bring
ing victory to Georgia. The line was
inpregnab BILE at times, and never did
Tech gain, either through the line
or around the ends, without fierce
struggle.
Tech played a good game and de-
serves much credit for the game bat
tie her men made Their forward
passes were the best we have seen
this year Had it not been that our
secondary defense had been schooled
thoroughly in the breaking up OF such
plays by Coach Cunningham, Techs
passes would have resulted in much
larger gains for the wearers of the
orange and white, However. we had
heard much of Techs brilliant for
ward passes. and were always on the
lookout for a pass Of unusual length
and cleverness. We managed to block
'r break up the gIeater part Of them,
though several tim es Tech made good
gains by well executed passes.
Like every other man on the Geor-
ga team, l was much pleased with
The cheering of both sides, and the
Georgia team especially appreciated
me action OF the Tech student body in
giving a yell for Georgia, and the
action OF the band in playing GLORY
70 Old Georgia." the battle cry OF
he Red and Black.
was greatly disappointed and
7urprised however, that the Tech
leam should have resorted to rough
lactics in the final period. be-
leVe in hard, rough play, but Tech
a'd not stop at that. The Tech men
were guilty on many occasions Of
taxing advantage OF Georgia players
after they had been tackled, by re-
sorting to rough, unsportsmanlike
playing.
