After about two months of ma
ture elaboration Coach Heisman of
Tech has figured out just how the
Yellow Jackets lost to Alabama.
Those two foreward passes that
cost Tech the game were hurled by
a professional athlete" writes the
Georgia Wizard. In view of the fact
that Tech is no longer member of
the 5. |. A. A., because it's athletes
cannot qualify under the rules of
that association. this wonderful
logic smacks of asininity.
There is no getting around the
fact that Auburn's failure to win
the S. |. A. A. trophy has caused
bitter disappointment in the south.
1t must be said to the credit of the
Plainsmen, too, that their failure to
defeat Georgia was nuke. The
Tigers were not at their best. They
suffered a reaction following the
Vanderbilt game. Few will contend
that Auburn is not considerably
stronger than Georgia. That tie was
not an evidence of true ability. 1t
was a fluke; but fiuke gave Au-

what's sauce for the goose-well,
the Plainsmen should have no kick

All of which reminds lis that the
Indians are in town and that Bir-

|" HE game between Alabama and
Carlisle this afternoon will
bring what has proved to be
one of the most successful football
seasons in the history of the south
to a close. The season has been re-
plete with upsets and surprises but
it has served to eliminate the
long established distinction be-
tween big" and little" southern
elevens. Auburn, Vanderbilt and
Sewanee and other usually strong
: elevens met tartars in the erstwhile
little fellows And this does not
mean that the mighty Plainsmen
or the Commodores were weaker to
any marked degree this season than
they have been in seasons past On
the other hand it goes to show the
value of open play in equalizing
football e1evens. and points to a
marked Improvement on the part
of southern football in general. If
developments this season are in
dicatiye of future conditions the
time has passed when the big elev-
ems enter the season one, two, three
in order, while the little fellows
are forced to battle for places of
less prominence.
The only condition to mar the 1914
season has been the controversy
over s. I. A. A. championship. 1t has
been exceedingly hard for some
critics to see that the University
of Tennessee, a college whose elev-
ems for the past several years have
been of minor calibre. has a right
to supplant machines VIGOROUSLY
powerful in leading the S. l. A. A.
1t has been hard to realize the new
order of things. Auburn and Van
derbilt have held sway so long that
the failure of either of them to
land first honors rather startles
than edifies. But success is sig
nificant. 1t means that hencefor-
ward the south is to see a much
prettier race for the championship
and one in which most of the s. |.
A. A. elevens has chance to land
first place.
