about a lot OF changes. especially

time We left" said Mr.. o Reilly, the
athletic director. 'On the field the
Georgia Tech men played hard foot
ball but at no time was there any

spectators were fair and generous,

the Commodores matching their run

play. Virginia undoubtedly had the
margin in power. but it is the result
that counts in the final analysis.
