"A ASHvIILE, Tenn, October az
Two things happened in South
ern foot ball Saturday which,
/ to the average spectator, are
utterly inexplicable. Here was
Georgia Tech, with her great record and
with q great achievement against Flor
ida one week aRo,. three touchdowns
behind less than 80 minutes after the
Tulane game began.
And down at jacksonville the Unive--
sity of Georgia, fresh from an over
whelming victory over Yale and de-
cisive win over North Carolina during
the preceding two weeks, trailing Flor
ida by three toiichdowns until almost
the end of the game. -
Georgia Tech is not yet well organ
lied. Her first eleven has developed in
good shape, as was indicated by her
very decisive victory over Florida. She
started the Tulane game without the
services Of two outstanding men, Thorn
aSon and Maree, who were suffering
from injuries.
Tech No Weakling.
Let no one be deceived regarding the
strength in the Tech team. Three
touchdowns behind, with six minutes
left to play, Tech had the spirit and
the ability TO score two touchdowns.

which was not first class, she was meet
ing q wonderful team. Everybody knew
Tulane had a powerful backfield, with
brilliant men in Banker and Armstrong,
and great speed in all her backs, but
nobody knew our Irish friend Bierman
had developed a powerful, skillful line
and ends. Tulane must now be placed
In the general neighborhood Of the
great teams.
Tulane is likely now to be one Of the
few teams to 60 through her season I'M
defeated, although Russell Cohen and
his Louisiana State University can be
taken lightly by nobody.
Dope Is Upset.
And thus We find ourselves in the
Southern Conference, before 1.-The ides
Of November" have rolled around, with
only one of the five teams the experts
put at the head of the table remain
ing undefeated-namely the University
of Tennessee. And that team now shows
no apparent intention Of being defeated,
playing the same brilliant game Sat-
urday after Saturday.
Among the other undefeated uni
Versities is Kentucky, which has fine
team undoubtedly. but has not played
a schedule of strong teams thus far.
The Louisiana State University is bril-
liant, but has not been playing the best
teams. Clemson is undefeated and has
been playing some hard games and
quite a number of them, and, with the
exception of Tennessee, has the best
and most consistent record in the con-
ference. Tulane, because OF her aston
ishing brilliancy against Tech, must be
given high place.
Vanderbilt is the only other outfit
undefeated by conference teams. While
Vanderbilt has not had a hard confer
ence schedule so far, it Is making ur
for it now by tackling Alabama, Geor-
gia Tech and Tennessee in succession
and after seeing Alabama play Satur-
day It Is difficult for me to understand
how Alabama lost a foot ball game
While Vanderbilt is playing Alabama
and Georgia Tech, Tennessee will be
meeting Auburn and Carson Newman
