The great game in our foot-ball horizon is Auburn, Nov. 24. This game is played in Atlanta and spe cial rates will be secured, so that the student body Can see the game. Though Auburn and l T . of (ia. have not met in four seasons, yet the in tense feeling brought about by cur defeat still remains among us, and will urge the eleven to redouble their efforts on that day. We hope to play the Techs in isms which can justly be made on the men behind ihu line. It is plainly evident that there is a great misunderstanding in regard to the signals, and consequently when the ball is passed, a collision, costly fumble, and loss of several yards is usually the result. There is no ex cuse in the world for not knowing every one of the signals, because the line in fairly good form, hut quite often has no assistance. It was quite noticeable in a practice game a few days ago, where one of the backs backed the line almost entirely alone. With a good line against you, it would be almost im possible for a man to buck with any gain without assistance from lie hind as well as in front. The hacks are by no means yet accustomed to making fair catches, and had muffs are still very notice- able. Three times m a single game did this occur, only a few days ago. On one occasion, a “’Varsity” play er, though not a back ran into one of his side while trying to make a fair catch and the ball was conse quently muffed. Some of the men kind 01 play.
