NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The football
plum that the leading gridiron out
fits battle for below the Mason and
Dixon line has found keeping
in the hands OF the Georgia Tech
eleven. now that the smoke of
scrlmmage has cleared away from
the Southern gridirons Of 1920. AL

pigskin honors among the Dixie
universities, Tech developed q COM
bination of yellow -jacketed war
riors during the past season that
deffed the Drawn and speed of all
its opponents.
Among Dixie elevens that were
forced to acknowledge Techs su-
premacy on the gridiron of 1920 was
Auburn. AS rule, Auburn is al
ways a menace to any Dixie school
that seeks football championship.
But, this year the plainmen were
helpless before the swift smashing
of Tech backs and the driving and
staying power of its line. Not sat

Southernment cotton belt, Tech

forced Georgetown ,tol over its
colors.
The University of Georgia has
made claim for the championship
honors OF the 8. A. A. A., on the
grounds that its team did not lose
a contest during the season of 1890.
Perhaps its schedule was not as
gruelling as that the Atlanta OUTFIT
went up against. In effect, close fol-
lowers OF Southern football are
quick to say that It was not. At
any rate, the Georgia Bulldogs de-
serve much credit for their victori-
Gus season. Practically all OF their
games were won by goodly margins
and at all times they demonstrated
real football qualities. Georgia's
record in the South may be COM

already hard at work getting ready
for the scrap.
This time there will be no blind
overconfidence. no super-charged
egotism to lead him to certain

his mental attitude adjusted. IL he
steps into the ring in good physical
condition, the champion will at least
have no set-up to batter down in q
round or two.
willard will hardly be able to get
in shape at his age to last any Is
rounds. The best he can do is to be
ready to go four or fve rounds at
a fast clip and try to win within
that span. With two such hitters
taking aim there would be little
chance for any contest to go beyond
four or five rounds, no matter what
shape willard was in. There are
no light fantastic sparring matches
on the board with Dempsey in the
ring.
The Worst.
