Five Points a Minute.

In 1916 Tech established a collegiate
scoring record when it beat Cumber-
land, 222 to O.. That total was made
in 45 minutes of play, which means that
Tech scored an average of five points
rer minute, Nothing in football his
tory equals that.
Another unique record which Georgia
Tech holds was made by its 1917 eleven.
On the same Afternoon, and on the
same field, it played two teams, and
was no hindrance to Techs golden
tornado" outfit. 1t beat Furman uni
versity (of South Carolina) by the
score Of rs to 0, and then, with only
a rest of a few minutes, jumped in
against the fresh Wake Forest college
eleven (Of North Carolina) and defeat
ed it 80 to 0.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of Georgia Techs greatness in
the football world is the fact that it
has only a small enrolment from which
to draft its eleven. While Yale, Har-
Cornell and the other big colleges have
from 5000 to 5000 students to draw
from, Tech up to this season had an
enrolment that did not so beyond
700.
Georgia Techs elevens have been
truly Southern ones. Eight members
of the 1915 team were from the state of
Georgia: nine of the 1916 squad were
from Georgia, and 10 of the eleven of
1917 regulars were born and raised in
Geor gia. Joe Guyon, the Indian half
back. who was born in New Mexico,
was the only n-Georgian regular last
Iear.
The colors of Georgia Tech are old
gold and white. Its football players
wear jerseys of a golden hue, which
gave to Techs eleven the name of
yellow Jackets Last season it's
team achieved such fame as a whirl-
wind combination that the sobriquet of
Golden T%ornadoes' was attached to It.
