Stars of Yellow Jackets:
Line Has Power.
Rn United Preaa

By United Press
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 26.-Bent
upon marring Notre Danes clean
slate, a powerful Georgia Tech
eleven-sometimes known as the
yellow Jackets" but occasionally
called the Golden Tornado"-goes
to South Bend, Ind, this week.
Knute Rockne's ambitions-and
they are great this year-call for a
decisive defeat Of the Southern
champions as an important part OF
the Irish campaign of 1927.
The Notre Dame coach has so
arranged his schedule as to include
games with leading elevens Of the
East, South, Middle West and Far
West.
Southerners Not Easy
From all indications the Golden
Tornado" will be no easy victim.
Georgia Tech beat Alabama, IS to
0, a fortnight ago, and should win
the Southern Conference title. From
a national viewpoint, therefore, the
meeting of the Irish and the yellow
Jackets" is one of the most i'm
portant gridiron struggles scheduled
for Saturday.
Irish Determined
Having beaten the Navy in the
East, Coe, Detroit and Indiana in
the Middle West, and with every
prospect of victory over Army,
Drake, Minnesota and Southern
California, Knute Rockne's charges
will give everything they have to
clean up the threat from the South.
Crowley and Thomson
Captain Crowley and "StumpyY
Thomason represent the chief dan
ger of an upset and victory for
Georgia Tech. The one is an end,
as capable a receiver Of passes as
can be found in the game today.
"Stumpy" is a half back, a ghost
runner" whose long, swinging runs
have brought about the downfall of
the opponents of the yellow jack
cts" for a couple of seasons.
On form, Notre Dame will be an
8 to 5 favorite when the elevens
line up at South Bend Saturday. It
will be one of those situations so
conducive to victory for the under
dog, however, since the Irish have
much to lose and may be thinking
about the possibility and the price
of defeat, while the yellow Jack
cts" will be in there, singing in
discriminatory.

Shortridge Battle at
Irwin Field.
THREE GAMES ON ROAD
Manual, Washington, Ca.
thedraI Away From Home.

City series time is here and inter-
est this week in activities of local
high school football teams is CEN
tering around the impending clash
Friday, between Shortridge and
Tech at Irwin Field. the opening
game for the city public high school
championship. Kickoff at 2:30.
Manual, Washington and Cathe-
dral also are to see action, but on
the road. The Manualites will tackle
the Lebanon eleven at Lebanon
Friday while Washington will be at
Carmel.
Saturday will see the powerful
Cathedral squad journeying to
Jasonville for a conflict with the
strong high school club of that
city.
Shortridge, on form, is an out
standing favorite to drop the Tech
ties. Odds are ranging from 2 to
I to 4 to 1, and the point boys"
are offering twelve points. The east
siders have noticeable weakness in
the line and Coach Mueller has been
working hard in an effort to
strengthen his forward wall.
Manual, enthused over its first
victory of the year over Bloomington
last week, is cunning for another
scalp and may take the Lebanon
team down a couple of notches.
Washington has improved rapid
ly and is expected to down Carmel.
There are some nice prospects at
the west side school and the work
of the team as a whole has been
pleasing.
Cathedral, after it's clash with JEFF
fersonville, will return home to pre-
pare for it's Homecoming encounter
with Sheridan at Washington Park
the following Saturday.
