New York. Oct. 2T.-with inter-
section battles between the North
ana the South occupying the most
prominent Eastern gridirons satur-
day-that is, Georgia Tech vs. Penn
State 1t the Polo Grounds; Centre
College VS. Harvard at Cambridge,
and the University of Virginia
against, Princeton at University
Field-a rather intense Rivalry ex-
lists to demonstrate which will show
the most favorably against their
itfng teams. The day will afford
occasion for the Golden Tornado
and the Praying Colonies from
Lexington to measure strength. in
way, since they do not meet this
year on the gridiron.
The Georgians are exceedingly
anxious to make their debut in the
East quite as impressive as was
Centres sensational game with
Harvard last fall and at the same
time to sarpass whatever the Ken
tuckians may do at Cambridge on
Saturday. The 21-to-21 drawn bat
tie between Harvard and Penn
State last Saturday, with Centre

elevens.
southerners' Records Unblemished.
With practically unblemished rec
ords for their own particular sec
tors below the Mason and Dixon
Line last year, Tech and Centre
met for the. first time in Atlanta.
Both were exceedingly confident OF
winning, and the hackers Of each
team could see nothing hut their
own special favorites. Tech won
by score of "a to 0. Their re-
spective showings against Harvard
games will serve this year to offer
the best line of comparison.
In addition to the battle for team
honors. keen competition will exist
between the two offensive stars of
the two teams, "Bo" Mcmillan, of
Center, and Red" Barron, of Tech.
Coming along with a great reputa-
tion as a backheld man par excel
lence last year, Mcmillan fully sus-
tained his reputation In the game
with Harvard. At the close OF the
contest, Capt. Horween, Of the
Crimson, complimented the visiting
captain with the remark that he
was just about the best halfback
he had ever seen.
Yet in the game at Atlanta, Tech.
all primed to meet the advances of
Mcmillan, succeeded in cutting
short his efforts almost without
gains on every down. Not once did
the Kentucky star get going with
one of the brilliant runs that cleo
trified the crowd at Cambridge, and
for the most part was stopped
without gain, and frequently thrown
for loss. Meantime Barton
proved a sensation with his BRILL
liant runs against Center, and easily
outdid the visiting star in that
battle.
NMnlan Neat Tosser.
Mcmillan has a decided advan-
tage in one respect. He is a triple
threat man of the Center team. He
runs, kicks and passes, and is good
in either detail. Especially is he
brilliant in passing. His accuracy
Is nothing short of wonderful. On
the other hand, Barron has but one
general assignment on offensive
play-to lug that ball down to and
across the opposing goal line. His
forte is running from regular
formation. with added opportunities
here and there in the way Of work
ing on the receiving end of Techs
passing game.
At either he Is a wizard. Stocky
and sturdy of build, he Is at once
fast and shfty and exceedingly
hard to. throw of his feet Fol-
lowers OF the Tech team claim that
he Is the peer of any back
field man that ever played at Tech,
or for that matter in the entire
South. And when II is taken into
consideration that Joe Guyon, who
starred ~ Carlisle under Glenn
Warner, wound up his collegiate
football career at Tech, it Is read
lily realized that Barron's admirers
are blanketing him with genuine
praise They believe he is all
America timber without doubt, and
expect him to convince such East
ern critics as see him perform
Saturday of the soundness Of their
Judgment.
