GA. TECH MEETS
NOTRE DAME
VIII Be the Feature Games of the
South - Georgia Meets
Tennessee at Knoxville
BY BOB RINER

Football will be the source of
great interest in the south tomorrow,
when strong teams will meet for
their grid battles.
Probably the most interesting
game of the day will be the one in
Atlanta between Georgia Tech and
Notre Dame.
George Tech has lost only one
game this season and that by small
score, losing their last game to Ala
bama by the score of z to 0.
Notre Dame on the other hand has
lost one to Army and by a large
score. But Tech will have battle
on their hands if they hand defeat
to Rockne's Irish lads.
If we were to pick the winners
we would be forced to pick Georgia
Tech. But should something happen
that Wycoff is out of the game we
hand the victory to Notre Dame.
Tech can win with him in the game,
but with him out it is just case of
defeat for the Golden Tornado.
Georgia meets Tennessee at Knox
vile. We predict a victory for
Georgia, for their victory over Van
derbilt has gotten them back in the
running and they are going to be
hard to beat.
Our other choices for the day will
be, Oglethorpe, Alabama, Kentucky
and Florida.
In the East we pick Army, Penn
State, Princeton and Harvard. When
Navy meets Michigan at Ann Harbor
1t is toss up.
And of course we pick Americas
High to defeat Fitzgerald today and
the A. & M. boys to beat the
South Georgia College from McRae.
