EXPERT BROWN
HAS PRAISE FOR
TECH BACKF|ELD
Cook, Preas and Patten All Looked
Good in Saturdays Game
Against Sewanee,
BY Innis Brown
Referee Of Tech sewanee Game


T. IGURATIVELY speaking, the
Yellow Jackets tied several
hard and fast knots in the tail
Of the Sewanee Tigers at Grant Field
Saturday afternoon.
Figuring from the standpoint ~ the
proper way TO play the gridiron game
Il may be stated that Tech put up q
jam-up game, Write at times the yis-
itors showed flashes OF real form
form such as must have been exhibit
ed in Dallas when they held the husky
Texans 10 a margin OF one touch
down.
Tho Tech team had all the drive
mat coul dbe asked. They appeared
10 center their attack on Sewanee's
left flank, and results we're disastrous
20 Sewanee hopes Time and time
again Cook, Patten, Preas and others
smashed into the port wing OF tho
Tigers, and almost without fail they
got satisfactory results. These play
ers were the offensive stars Of Satur-
days game.
Tech Interference Great.
Furthermore, the Jackets continue
10 show real ability to interfere for
their runners. Their interference was
OF that type that put the other fellow
out OF commission at least Temporal
Nv. Frequently the Tech backs man
aged to hurl as many as three men at
the SeWanee ends Instead OF plliug
M in such shape that a man could
upset the whole bunch by diving un-
der the first man. they Invariably split
in such a manner as to send one par
ticular man after the end, This man
understood that me was expected to
block and TO block effectually. This
he usually did.
Furthermore, the Tech team con-
tinued its successful work with the
forward pass Several long shots were
successfully executed resulting di-
rectly in touchdowns on two occa-
sions. The passes were properly
timed, well thrown and handled With
out flaw on the receivigu ,u' Such
work with this play makes + dan
gerous factor at any and H.l times.
On more than one ocCJ "ion the Pur-
pie team cut Loose some real football.
Notably in the beginning OF the sec
ond half After having had a few
pointers handed them between halves
they came back with determination
which showed that tho Jackets must
fight 20 the end for the decision,
Tolley Starred on Sewanee.

wormed throupH the smallest open

sprint he wls forced out the side lines

festivities. did brilliant work. On his
first appearance locally the Chatta-
nooga boy did work that would indl-
cate that he is going to prove a
source of real strength to the Jackets.
He ran hard and low, and took open
ings with good Judgment. Preas
showed marked Improvement over his
former work, while Cook and Melon
add played their usual good games. on
one occasion the Jackets captain tore
loose for an S0-yard run to a touch
down Guiding a half dozen Purple
iachiers.
Fielder Another Goree.
There was also another lad in eyi-

is made to Fielder This boy put up
anne that must have reminded many

latter was laborlue for Techs grid

getting up and getting away in haste

they come. His splendid gains are
good evidence OF the success Of his
style, He should prove very valuable
Ia the remaining games.
The contest, OF course, eliminates
Sewanee from first honors Tech has

pnristened Grant Field win more than
likely have the honor of standing at
