Payne field, having tasted the sweet

ball on another tumble, and with

In the second period the W teams

Payne field backward In the face Of a
terrific onslaught. The goal was but
10 yards away and Park field was
plunging its way steadily toward the
coveted uprights, A touchdown seemed
certain, but as fate would have 1t, the
whistle for the ending 81 the first half
blew, which denied Park field Of the
best chance it had to score during the
entire game.
In the second half the game got
rougher and rougher, as Park field was
determined to go over the goal line of
their opponents or die in the attempt.
Dougherty, of Payne field, who had
been a thorn in the side of the Park
field team in the first half, went down
and out with a wrenched ankle and
French, the big guard of Park field,

ters involving the legal construction Of

The defeat Of Georgia Tech by Glenn
Warmers Pittsburgh Painters Satur-
day did not come in the nature of a
big surprise to football followers, who
realized that the Georgia Tech which
played Pitt Saturday was far from
the Georgia Tech which has been down
ing all corners during the past four
years.
Coach John Heisman's Golden Tor
ADDE'S were IL shell of their old selves,
with the stars of other days in the
army or otherwise among the missing.
But Coach Heisman did not refuse to
meet the Pitt aggregation because OF
the fact that his stars were gone. He
believed in his machine and that the
name Of the Golden Tornado would
make of his men super-men. But they
were overwhelmed, outplayed and out
generated, which is the answer to their
defeat,
The sympathies of Dixie football
fans were with Tech, naturally. but
their judgment was that Pitt would
be a hard nut for the Georgians to
crack, as such they proved.
Tech, though defeated, went down
with colors flying, and will now pre-
pare for der tag, when they may again
get a crack at the Pitt team, when
the Golden Tornadoes are at their
best.
Bill Taft Is being sought by major
league magnates to handle all legal
matters for the, two big leagues. If
Bill isn't a better lawyer than he was
a president, poor old baseball.
