both teams man for man, who claim that in natural playing skill it is a tossup between the two. And then they con clude their statement by saying that:
 The better coached team will win"
 Which has the better coach?
 Heisman and Warner were rivals more from Cornell in 1894, coached the Iowa team in the fall of that year and 1895 and 1896 found him at the helm of the University of Georgia's eleven Heis- man, who graduated from the Unf1ersity of Pennsylvania in 1891, started as a football coach with the Oberlin (Ohio) college in 1892, and remained there until the close of the season of 1894. In 1895 he took a job with the Alabama Poly technic Institute of Auburn, Ala.
 It was in 1895 and 1896 that Heisman and Warner engaged in their initial coaching duels. Heisman's Poly team beat Warmers University of Georgia eleven in 1895 by the score of Is to G., but in the following year Warner re- taliated with 12 to- s victory over Heis- mans eleven in Auburn.
 Since that day when both were ranked among the novices in the coaching world, each has risen by leaps and bounds into national prominence. And today the two of them are running neck and neck race for the honor of being ranked as the wizard coach of America.
 After quitting the south Warner had coached at Cornell and then rose to na- tional fame by his handling of the Car lisle Indian squads. It was there that he made a remarkable reputation and became looked upon as a football genius.

 When the first reports of the in- ternment of William Hohenzollern in Holland came over the cable, and Count Bentinck was mentioned as the host of the fugitive, 1t was as stunned that he would receive him at his castle at Middachten, Arnhem. Later despatches report that Count Bentinck has conducted Wilhelm and his fellow fugitiyes to another of his estates, the castle of Ameron- gen, which lies in the municipality of Maarn, in the province of Utrecht and geographically in the centre of the Netherlands. Middachten lies very close to the German border, and with the German Bolsheviki

Phillips will play, but has admitted that Rogers and Bowling, last years guards, have entered school and will most cer- tainly get in the contest tomorrow. Sew eral scribes went out to investigate the situation at Techs campus, but were denied admission to secret practice and no confirmation of the rumor that Strupper and Phillips would play could be gained.
 Heisman's line since shifting Guyon to tackle is not as weak as some are led to believe. On the other tackle is Capt, Bill Fincher, than whom there is none better in the south. The addi- tion of Rogers and Bowling will bolster the line almost to it's 1917 strength and even Tech supporters who usually talk like undertakers before the game admit that the backfield is fully up to last years standard.
 So don't look for any walkover to- morrow. Heismans gang averages 175 pounds to man and with that mys- terious jump shift" has an excellent chance of walloping the stuffin' out of the -<stern champions.

Atlanta Scribe Warns Tech Supporters That Golden nado Is Not Equal of 1917 Team and Suggests IA
 Points as Safe Margin to Wager On
By MORGAN BLAKE

Atlanta, November 1.-Coach Heisman returned from Pittsburg confidently ex. pecting to find all of his charges en. toying good health and prosperity, but To and behold, Pug Allen bobs up with the Carolina game, but concerning which he said nothing. An investigation was had and it was found that some liga- ments were torn loose and a bone cracked. By careful nursing it is prob- able that Pug will be back in time to play Saturday. It would assuredly be a frightful calamity if he could not for the absence of his weight and strength on the defensive would be as severe a blow as the loss of his line charging ability.
 Joe Guyon's ankle also gave him some trouble Monday and he was forced to retire for treatment.
 Coach Heisman had a very serious talk with his men, explained the grave situa- tion confronting them, and told them that upon their courage and stick-to-it qualities would rest the question as to whether the Golden Tornado was to up hold honorably the traditions of the ia, nous squad of last year.
 The members of the Tech team are absolutely confident of trimming Pitts burg They refuse to be scared by the talk of the great team they're going up against. They have the supreme optim- ism of youth and they refuse to be daunted.
 We do not like to throw cold water on enthusiasm, but we feel that the friends of Tech outside of Atlanta don't realize that the Golden Tornado of this year is not the Golden Tornado of 1s17 The fans have all grown so used to see- ing Tech wipe up the earth that it's hard to realize that Tech is going up against a foe, with the odds in favor of the foe.
 We would urge considerable restraint on the part of Tech rooters if they con- template risking their life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness on Tech in that game. Go easy boys. Remember that Pittsburg is probably stronger than las: year, with six four-year men back and eight veterans of the 1917 campaign on hand. Tech has but two old men back and while the new men are playing great football, the advantage is all with Pitt on the veteran score, and that is a big score, and don't you forget it.
 We would figure that Tech and 14 points would be an absolutely fair wager. and no Tech man should let his entnus- iasm warp his judgment to the extent of grabbing off even money offers.
 It's an awful task-that of beating Pittsburg, champions of the east for four years, with any kind of team. And to pit freshman team against them makes the job considerably harder. Talk and yell a lot, boys, but play it safe with your coin.
 Tech will give 'em all she's got, and there is a probability of winning. But as Capt. John Smith, the we'll known citizen of the early days of the Ameri- can colonies, used to say, Wager in haste and repent at leisure"
