Exendine believes the defeat was

Big Chance for HIllfoppers.
There Is no denying the fact that
rthe Hilltoppers have a glorious
chance to be revenged on Georgia
fTech this year, but too much oon-
..fidence might be fatal Tech
Eshould profit much by the de-
feat by Penn State. The line,
which Is said to have been IN
respectfully weak. will undoubtedly
be bolstered before meeting the
tstaIwart forwards from the Hilltop.
The inefficient defense against for-
ward passes will also be improved
