the South was completed yesterday
when Lieutenant Devore, Of the Sew

signed to coach the Tech linemen for
the remainder of the season.
The athletic authorities of Tech
have been after Devore all season, but
it was not until late yesterday that
terms We're agreed upon. 1t has been
a. well-known fact that the Tech line
is the weak part Of the local machine,
and it is now thought that Devore
will build up defense that will be
well able to stand up against the
tough foes Tech is to meet. Devore
will be on hand this afternoon to
start work.
Mr.. Devore being postmaster in
the art of line play, will take the
men from tackle to tackle and try to
hammer them into shape for the Sc
vance game Saturday. The ends and
backs will be coached by Mr.. sHeis-
man.

the improved form of the Jackets
should at once be noticeable.
The main trouble with the Jacket
line has been their charging and
shifting, both on the offense and the
defense. They do not charge low
enough and they do not shift fast
enough.
A hard scrimmage is in store for
the Jacket warriors this afternoon,
and the varsity is going to be put
through the jumps from the time
they are excused from classes until
after dark.
Charging, tackling, shifting and
diagnosing plays on the defense will
!. be the principal tactics taught for
1.-The entire week, and when the jack
cts line up against the Sewanee III
gers at Grant Field Saturday they
will be prepared to give them real
battle.
No one was hurt in the Florida
game. There were the usual bruises
incident to all football games. but
to-day's workout will remove most
Of the stiffness.
1t is expected that Patten and
Loeb will be able to get into harness
against the Tigers Saturday, and it
is certain that they will be in the
thick of all the signal drills and some
of the scrimmages this week to get
them on edge.
