The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-30

Atlanta. September 29.-(Special) )-rhe weakness oi the Georgia Tech football machine for tho past four or five years will not hn prevalent in the 1911 eleven. judging from present prospects. The Jackets usually have a fleet footed eleven. with q speedy backneld that is hard to head once it's gets away But that has been the troube--it has never been able to get away against strong opponents.
 This has been due to the light line | Last years line weighed but 162 pounds The line the year before weighed 159 and | the one the year before that 157 Regardless of which of the 70-odd can dioates Coach Heisman has working out,
 makes the line positions, the Tech line this season will be the heaviest since the splendid 1907 team.
 Coach Heisman admits that the team as whole will average TO pounds stripped weight. This means iS5 with the uniforms. When it is taken into consideration that Captain Fielder at right half weighs 145 pounds and Montague at left half weighs iie pounds, the individual weight of the rest of the team can be judged imme- diately.
 Tho backfield will average varying weight of 150 to ITO pounds according to which men arc playing. The line will average from ITO to 190 pounds on the same basis. " Prospects Good
 Thus it will be seen that Techs pros poets are the best in the last seven years, due to an apparent capable line that will be able to hold long enough to let the fleet-footed bacSiield get under way.
 Loeb, who played center last year. was the lightest man at that position in the south. He was graduated. He weighed scarcely 16o pounds. His place will be taken by either McCord, 175 pounds; Bry- ant, 1S5 pounds, or Trawick. 213 pounds.
 Means, 165 pounds. and Lang 1s5 pounds, were last years guards. The former grad uated. The latter is back. To take Means place Heisman has several men. at least 20 pounds heavier. but MauelS the big track man. standing six feet five inches and weighing 2l0 pounds is prob ably the choice of the lot.
 NarSe, POI pounds and Rainey. 16o were the tackles last season. Neither will be back. But Preas who was declared Ineligible, has been reinstated and his 195 pounds will be seen at one tackle. Car penter. another man of the Mauclz type. hut not as heavy, weighing but 1SS will be seen, with host of other men push ing him closely.
 Montague, Cushman and Hayes, last years brilliant, though light ends, have been switched to the baclSfield. On the wings Tech will have men who are just as fast and weighing considerably more.
 Senter, the star of last years scrubs, a brilliant taclSler and a great destroyer of formations around his wing, has one wing berth nailed down. Beard, a TO- pounder; Goree. 8 brother of the famous halfback of few seasons back, and Nor rison, an end who played at Texas A. and Nj. two years ago, are fighting it out foi the other berth. Morrison was at Tech last season, but was ineligible.
 Will Have Heavy Line
 It will be seen from these men and figures that the Jackets will have q heaV- fer man at each position in the line than they had last season.
 Quarterback Patten of last years team is back again and if he gets away from the early season iniudies that have hurt his work in the last two seasons, he will have nc opposition for the place
 Cook and Mcdonald, the teams star
