 Nothing in the seasons work of the Tide lends tremendous color to the optimistic feeling of some that Georgia Tech will be beaten on Grant Field. Nothing that has been ac- complished-except the work in the Syracuse game-intimates that Ala anna will win. The Alabama eleven 7s gone through their career this 1T in Dixie without having been red upon, but Sewanee was the fly eleven that managed to stage Ight the Alabamians.

 Alabama's line, having four expe- need men, or rather three. will be the best of condition for Tech. iorty" Propst, captain Al and Tom ton are not strangers to their ition nor strangers to Tech. Ben mpton has been introduced on Grant Field. but will essay a new role before the Tech fans at tackle. Five games this year this giant guard of last year has performed in his posi- tion, and every game shows inn provement in his work. But Buckler. Jones and Camp will make their initial bow to the Grant Field audi ence. Those three men are going great guns aboard the Tide destroyer and are consistent players.
 The backfield Is one that will 7ither come into its own against seorgia Tech or will fall to reach the heights expected. There are many players that have not been used by the rldemen. and the last ounce in light for victory has not been forced Ipon their backs. Alabama boasts of riple- threat men. of line plungers, # passers and punters, open field runners and brainy football men. And four of these men are to carry the load Saturday against the Col den Tornado.
 The feeling of Alabama towards Tech is smliar to the feeling that existed before the Syracuse game. A students thought if printed, would run about like this: Techs good We might win. They'll have to fight hard to beat 'Bama. We may lose but it will be no disgrace. We're as good as Tech so let's beat them This superstition about Grant Field is all bunk. Let's gG to Atlanta and wreck Tech" Aand that's what the Crimson Tide plans-going to Atlanta to do the utmost every min ute of the game to beat Tech.
