FANS SURPRISED BY PITT VICTORY
 OVER GEORGIA
Victory a Tribute to Coach ing Method of Glen
 Warner.

The tongues of the football enthu- sasts are still wagging, and the en- thusiasts are still wondering how ii came to pass that the vaunted eleven of Georgia Tech was torn to shreds by the gridiron warriors of the Uni versity of Pittsburgh.
 The victory of Glen Warmers pro- teges was as convincing as it was complete. Many things have been said in attenuation of the Southern
 CTS, but when all is summed up, the true story of the game and score was just Pittsburgh superiority.
 Warmers system of coaching still stands out There is variety to his attack, force of power, clever decep- ton and speed. The secret of it's suc- cess, however, is not so much the play but the method of making 1t. Every last detail is planned carefully. Every probability of football strife is i reckoned with, and the methods ap- piled to bring about the desired re- 4ult-to wit, advance the ball. There was not one single play used by Warner in the hour of thrilling play that has not been used for years: i first by his Carlisle Indian teams, and now by Pittsburgh -criss-cross plays, double passes, forward passes from '! criss-cross plays behind the line and all other methods with which students i of the Warner game are familiar. l Dtscounting the two spectacular 1! runs of Tom Davies, the other three 1 touchdowns of Pitt were the result 1 of skilfully directed, powerfully ap- plied sound football plays. Even l i2 the runs of Davies, the other Pitt 1 players did their share, and possible f Tech tacklers were shipped off and bowled over as a reaping machine
 clips off the grain.
 The forward pass was called into frequent and successful use. This
 method of attack was due in a meas
 ure to the difficulty in penetrating the Georgia line! but here, too the foot,
 ball tactics of Pitt bore fruit. Int
 Tech secondaries were so stationed
 as to range behind the tackles, witt Guyon in close defense of the middl.
 of the line.
 Quick to perceive the weakness
 against the overhead game, Davie
 and Gougler, who alternated in call
 ing the signals, hammered away 3
 the line and ends until the secondar
 ies were drawn in close. Then, iron
 seemingly identical plays, the aeria
 attack was launched with telling eff
 feet.
 The Heisman jump shift was mere ly a lamb in bears clothing. Agains
 the rock ribbed defense of the Pan
 thers it was a harmless little Ba B. , indeed. The Tech line was not un
 balanced to the extent that a pre-
 ponderance of power was brought | , bear on one side or the other, excep , on occasions. Rather than catchin
 the defense off balance, it was tn l ] Tech line that was caught, and ' Allhouse. the Pitt right guard, tor through time and again to break u ; plays.
 . Tech suffered a blow when Bar ron, the first string quarterback, wa . injured. With him out of action tn . Georgia combination lost much of it 3 stability. There were other con tributing causes. The, Tech tear is made up of youngsters. who wer playing their first big game ava ! from home before a hostile crowd. . was Q new sensation to have nearl z O,OOO spectators cheering heart an
 soul for Pittsburgh. Moreover, was cold; piercingly cold, and tn !, may have helped somewhat. But Q the main 1t was just a plain case ( :. too much Pittsburgh.
 f The Pitt, team covered itself wit f glory. The Pittsburgh populace di 7. not Il was new sensation to hea
 a football crowd hoot and howl in d. V rision at a team which was fightir l. desperately in the face of defeal- e Perhaps the best thing can be sa' d for Tech Is that the boys never a l. knowledged defeat. They wei g routed and demoralized, but the
 fought harder in the last peric | than they did in the first. They gay 1T of their best at all times.
