ATLANTA GRID TILT,
NO C|NCH HFOR BEARS
Golden Tornado Confident of
Surprising in Its Play
Saturday.
BY H. c. BYRD.

100 much interest has been
- created over the Tulane
~ Southern California game
that the other test between
the South and Far West, Sched-
uled Saturday, with Georgia Tech
and California in the principal
roles, seems not to be getting the
attention it really deserves.
While Georgia Tech is not so strong
as Tulane, and there is little difference
in the two California elevens, it never
theless is true that Georgia Tech is
good enough to put up a good battle in
any game for which it can prepare es-
pecially and for which it is able TO
muster all its resources. On basis Of
comparisons of games played, it seems
that Georgia Tech is due for a drub-
bing, but Georgia Tech does not feel
that way about it.
When we play California at Atlanta
next Saturday, the day after Christmas,
We probably will make a lot better
showing than anybody expects US to.
OF course, I realize that California has
it on us in weight and also on its record
seems considerably superior. but this is
not game that comes in the turn Of
the regular season. We ought to be in
better shape physically than in most
of the games we played last Fall and
We have all to gain and nothing to lose.
Then we will have some advantage in
the fact that California is the team that
does the travelling"
Ingram Does Good Work.
California is coached by Bill Ingram,
Navy coach for several years, and his
record for the past season is eXcep-
tional. In fact, he turned out about
the best team that California has had
in years and CalifornianS look upon
his work as something in the way Of
marvellous accomplishment. On its rec
ord for the year. as compared with
Georgia Techs, the Pacific Coast eleven
seems touchdoWns better.
Georgia Tech has played some eXcep-
| tionally good foot ball since its season
opened the first OF last October though
in some of its games it has been Woe
| fully weak The great difference in
the Atlanta teams play has been
/ largely due to the lack of good secCnd-
string players. and when two or three
men have been out of some game their
absence has hurt Bu. against Penn
sylvania Georgia Tech played fine foot
/ pail. II also put up all Unusual game
against South Carolina. Anyway it
feels that it may make somebody sit up
and take notice in the battle with Cali
fornia s-.--
Georgia Techs agreement with Call
fornia runs two years. Next years con-
test is to take place at Berkeley on
some date during the Christmas holi-
! days.
! A TALE is told about the University
! n of TenneSsees game with New
York University that is. to say the
/ least, somewhat amusing and unusual.
/ After the contest in New York, in
which Tennessee whipped the New
| Workers, IA to 0, so felt the N. y. U.
players that some gave their uniforms
/ to Tennessee players TO take back as
/ trophies. These uniforms were being
proudly displayed in Knoxville when
! along comes a letter from the New
York Unit arsity athletic authorities
saving that the uniforms were not the
property OF the N y. U. players TO
give away and demanding they be re-
| turned. 1t is said that the Tennessee
men did some tall scrambling to find
! the scattered pieces to bundle up and
send back to New York.

in the South that does not have its
coaching problem for next year settled
is Louisiana State. Russ Cohen, who
