AFTER THE SLAUGHTER
TECH 8HARED THE FATE OF MANY ANOTHER GOOD TEAM.
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
An Ea*tcrn press association has sent around the country a
statement that the Southern colleges have “just” adopted a “one-
year residence rule.” As a matter of fact that rule has been in
effect in tho S. I. A. A. for several years.
The great white light has at Inst broken and the major
leagues are going to have shorter schedules.
This is one of the first signs of intelligence which some of the
major mogulsjiavc displayed in several years.
The baseball war in Texas is reported to bo over. This leaves
all tho world in peace except for a small chunk of Pennsylvania,
where they have their own notions of baseball independence.
Speaking of that, the nnnual story that tho Tri-State out
laws were due to go into the fold of organized baseball has been
sprung, by the said organized baseball. And ns usual the out
laws haven’t heard of it and don’t care to.
“Rube” Waddell has blossomed forth somewhere in Penn
sylvania as a “professor” of athletics.

The wisdom of being on hand when things aro happening
was well exemplified Saturday afternoon by a young gentleman
named Robert, known commonly as “Chip.” The said “Chip”
came down the field under a punt at a critical moment in Satur
day’s game while tho rest of his team mates wero giving imita
tions of canal boats in the moist distance, happened to find the
ball nmning loose and fell on it. Immediately thereafter he was
tackled from three sides and previously mauled, but it did not
matter to him.
For he had accomplished a feat which several hundred other
young men had tried to do in thp last three years.
As Season Nears Its End,
Surprise Follows Surprise
• Saturday'! football games were pro-
Iduetlve of many surprises and proved
la sad disappointment to Western foot-
wall followers.
I The defeat of Michigan by Pennsyl
vania and Minnesota by the Indians,
Troth by scores of IT to 0, brought sor
row to the hearts of Westerners, who
-have long thought that the football
played on the western side of the Al
leghenies was a better brand of goods
than that played on the eastern slope.
' It seems that thla dope la wrong, at
least from what can be judged by
those two games.
Of course Michigan has not the team
she had last year—In fact, has not even
the team she had when eha played
Vanderbilt. The Michigan team with
out Curtis Is a trills line "whisky
straight" without the whisky. How
ever, Pennsylvania Is far from as good
n team as Tale, Harvard and Prince
ton, and Michigan followers hoped for
• victory.
That the Indians could make the
Minnesota bunch eat dirt was another
sad surprise to Westerners.
A nothlng-to-nothlng result In the
Vale-Princeton battle was somewhat
unexpected, but owing to the rapid
Improvement of Yale during the latter
part of last week there Is no especial
reason why such a score should not
have been made.
In the South things did not turn out
just aa Indicated In the advance no
tices. The scoring of Tech was not
altogether an unexpected happening,
and neither was the defeat of Auburn
by Alabama. It seemed certain that
the Alabama championship would go
to the Auburnttes, hut there was an
other fine bunch of dope which went
wrong.
Georgia's 51 to ! victory oven Dah-
lonega was also rather more over
whelming than had been looked for.
Since Tech beat Georgia IT to 0, and
Dahlonega only 1 to 0 It did not seem
reasonable to suppose that the Athens
players would rat the Mountaineers
whole. However, they did, and the un
reliability of football dope was again
demonstrated.

The feat of scoring a touchdown on
Vanderbilt—for three long years an
Impossibility for any Southern team—
was accomplished Saturday afternoon
by Tech.
The Tech team loet to Vanderbilt
by a score ofTT to 6, but for the Yel
low Jackets It was a victory and for
Vanderbilt virtually a defeat By all
standards of judging football teams—
dope, experience of players, weight and
speed of the inen—Vanderbilt should
have won by a score of 40, to 0.

M’.vh <>f tin- good showing of the
Tech train this season has been-duu
to the elHch-nt coaching of Mr.
Helsinan. The above snapshot
shown him in a characteristic at-
tltude on the Held.
But that one touchdown brought aor.
row to Vanderbilt and Joy to Tech and
the local team la more proud of it
than of beating Georgia.
It was all very simple. In the early
part of the second half Tech was forced
to kick from the 46-yanl line. Brown
got away a good one and It sailed
down post the ten-yard line. Captain
Dan Blake was there to receive It, but
fulled In his attempt. The ball skidded
by him and across Vanderbilt's goal
line.
Apparently from npwhere at all came
a muddy streak, there was a yell, a
splash and Robert had landed on the
ball. In the shortest fraction of a min
ute threiv Vanderbilt men had landed
on the Tech quarter and he was half
burled In the sticky mud. But he
held the ball and Vanderbilt was scored
against.
There were groans from the Van
derbilt contingent and the Tech fol
lowers spilt the atmosphere with a dis
play of vocal enthusiasm which has not
been equalled this year.
Of course it waa a lucky fluke. But
this did nut change the fact that it
was a touchdown. And all credit to
Bobert, He had the agility tu elude
the Vanderbilt men, the speed to get
down the muddy Held under the long
punt and the quickness to fall on the
ball before the Vanderbilt men could
get It.,
_ Played in the Mud.
Whether or noly such an accident
would have happened on a dry day Is
not up for decision. The day waa any
thing but dry.
It had rained fitfully Saturday morn
ing, just as a bluff. When the teams
come un the gridiron In tha afternoon,
however. It began In earnest and for
sincere efTort that shower would have
been hard to heat.
Tho previous attempts of J. t'luvlu.
along the same line had suaked the
ground and It did not take long for
the flehl to pass progressively through
mud, bog, swamp and lake stages and

Hprrlsl lo Tke Georgian.
University of. Georgia, Athens, Go.,
Nov. 19.—Op an extremely muddy field
and In a dreary - drlxxle, the Georgia
teajn snowed the mountain lads from
Damonega under Saturday afternoon
by a score of 63 to 2.
The., game was remarkable for the
clean way In which Georgia handled
all punts and forward passes. The
work of Hodgson was great in this de
partment. Dahlonega spent the entire
first half In a vain endeavor to keep
Georgia from their goal by kicking.
Not once did they try to advance the
pigskin by any other method. They
made one first down In the second
half. The Dahlonega team seemed
slightly nut of condition and became
winded at the terrific pace set by Geor
gia.
It would be a hard proposition to say
which players starred for Georgia. The
w hole team starred and starred collec
tively.
when the game was over It looked a
flood.
Tech pinishsd Strong.
Against this marvelous team Tech
put up as plucky a fight as has ever
been seen on a local gridiron.
After being hammered all to peices
In the first half the men came back
and played marvelously good ball In
the second. The Vanderbilt team forced
the Yellow Jackets -to go tlic full
twenty-five minutes In the second half
and during that time the t'ommodores
could score but two touchdowns and
were themselves scored against.
The crowd was phenomenal consid
ering the weather. Probably It was
the largest crowd which has been on
Tech field till, fall with the exception
of the one which saw the Georgia
game. If the weather had been fair,
as It has every other Saturday this fall
new attendance figures would undoubt
edly have been set.
Saturday was not only the first day
that a Tech game has been rained on
this year, but the first time a Vander
bilt game has been rained on since Mc-
