ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 1S.-Victory for Georgia Institute of Technology over Pennsylvania State college, 15 to 13, here this afternoon came as reward for eternal vigilance. Alertness in fol- lowing the ball enabled the Yellow Jack cts to turn back the Nittany Lions for the winners were unable to gain from scrirnmage, making only one first down and this on the last play of the game. The visitors, on the other hand, rushed II first downs.
 The victors ran the scale of scoring, registering two goals from placement, touchdown, and scoring a safety against their opponents. The roar of the Lion was increased from more or less in- audible murmur to a distinct rumble in the last period when the Pennsylvania scored all their points.
 State Scores
 In the first three periods Techs staunch defense held1the visitors con sistently at bay. At the last, the light CT southerners were on the wane and Bezdek's men drove the ball steadily down the field to score twice. Tech, however, rallied at the very close and took the ball on downs well within the danger zone.
 Much of Penn States great closing drive may be attributed to the discov- cry of the Keystoners' general that Michalske, a compact forward, was wasting great ground gaining ability in the line. Suddenly switched from guard to back, this able workman made one touchdown in short order and placed his team in position to score another.
 Takes Opportunities
 Tech converted every early mistake by the visitors to its advantage. An intercepted pass made the opening counter, goal from the field, possible, and the touchdown for the southerners was from a recovered tumble. The safety followed a bad pass and the State halfback, back to kick, did not have a chance to run the ball in the face of charging horde of Tech play CTS. The second goal also followed a tumble.
 Wycoff and Williams stood out in the afternoons play as did Gardner and Goodwin in the Tech line. Gray of the visitors offered an impressive demon stration of defensive line play. Ar feet's smashing game at end was an other feature.
 Fumbling after all, however, proved the undoing of the customers. The aft ernoon was one tumble after another for W. Baker, Penn States safety man who was decidedly unsafe at catching punts.
 On the third play of the game Wy. coff kicked to w. Baker, who fumbled but recovered on his own 40-yard line A line play resulted in no gain and w Baker fired pass at, Artlet. Wycof! intercepted it and ran 24 yards to tht nine-yard line, Williams and Wycofi made four yords ill two plays and Vii Hams added one more. Williams scored a placement from the 12-yard line This three point represented the scoring in the fifst period.
 In the second period after WycOf had punted to mid-field, Penn Stat' drew a 15-yard penalty for holding Baker ran back to pass but before ht could get the ball away he was tackled by Nabelle with such force that the bal was thrown from his hand, poised fol the pass, landing in the arms of Gard ner who ran 16 yards, practically un iiolested for the first touchdown. Will limas added the extra point with placement kick.
