AS TOLD BY j. w. HEISMAN,
Head Coach, Rice Institute; Former
Coach of Georgia Tech and Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.

TINE season hadn't gone far be-
fore almost every follower of
our team was asking why l

larly, and asking the question out
loud. Well, it was justified. As far
as | was concerned. ! felt like |

boy for not assigning him as first
string man.
Rut he understood the situation per
fcctly. Moreover, all the applause and
hero worship he soon received didn't af-
fcrt him III the slightest. lie had shown
| 'hc stuff of which he was made by the
merc fact of his entering Georgia Tech.
Tie couldn't have picked a school with
harder curriculum if he had searched
the whole South. But he was a fine stu
dent and a fine boy. What he WAS called
upon to do he did and did ChcerfuIly
He took good or bad with a smile, and
he fitted himself nIto the system per-
>cctly.
Gets Hctter and Better.
As the season progressed he grew bet
ter and better. \ flash on his feet, he

Above all he was "A quick thinker and
extraordinarily fast in finding an open

Of Georgia game illustrates his method
which was To keep the enemy guessing.
On one play he swept around right end

moving over to stop him, had gotten
inside Techs right guard. He turned
abruptly to his right and then wheel
ed through the hole between our
right guard and tackle. Straight
ahead OF him was the Auburn left
half, but, glancing to his left, he
saw that our left tackle had hit the
Auburn right half so hard that he
had stretched him out fiat on his
back.
Sets Sail for Goal.
Without this play we might have
failed. But Everett, speeding over
to the left, actually used the pros
trate Auburn back as interference
between himself and the pursuing
left half until an alert Georgia Tech
man took tho latter out. Wheeling
around, he now set sail for the goal
line.
Two men remained to he shaken
of. one was the Auburn quarter,
on his left. and the famous 'pjabe"
Taylor. on his right. He stiff-armcd
the former as he turned toward the
goal. A moment later he success
fully turned the trick on TAYLOR.
In doing this, however, it was nee
-ssary for him to turn his back on
the Auburn goal line and go back
toward the point from which he had
started his run. The audacity Of

steps full 10 yards. AS babe"

dead and threw his left hip fun into
his face, spilling him. Then, Guiding
another Auburn man. he started
again toward the goal line.

Everett feinted Il dodge TO the right.
"Babc' reached for him, but he
turned to the left. The Auburn man

his outstretched arms and landed on
the ground with the ball just over the
line for iL touchdown.
Compliments His Rival.

man as he looked down at Everett,

Strupper laughed.
II Just have to run when you're
chasing me, Babe" he replied.
The whistle blew as Spencer kicked
goal. We were champions by q

Everett Strupper had made a howl
