QA. 12. TECH o.
First (lame an Easy Victory for
the Red and Black.
Much to the delight of the
many football enthusiasts in At
lanta the clouds cleared away
and Saturday afternoon was
bright and sunny.
The park began to fill rapidly j
with people and at 8:30 when
the kick-off occurred, there was
a crowd of 850 ns witnesses of
the contest.
The grand stand was filled with
girls from Washington Semina
ry, all of whom wore Tech col
ors, and the wearers of the Yel
low and White far outnumbered
the Georgia boys, on the bleach
ers. A small but enthusiastic
number of Georgia rooters gntli-
ered in one corner of the bleach
ers, and cheered the team on to
victory.
The ’Varsity team by a suc
cession of line bucks and end
runs rushed the ball rapidly
down the field, and Capt. Mc-
t'utcheon crossed the line for
a touch down after five minutes
of play. *A repetition of the
same tactics secured another
touch down shortly before time
was called for the first half.
The ’Varsity team was visi
bly tired during the second half
and their play lack**d the dash
and vim which characterized
their work during the earlier
part of the game. The line
weakened, and th° backs seemed
unable to gHin much ground,
and the call of time found the
score the same. This shows
that the men should train con
scientiously.
The team as a whole played
well, and played hard. The in
terference was good and the
team played fairly well togeth
er. The Techs were no weak
antagonists, and we feel well
satisfied with the team's show
ing for the first game; but a
noticeable improvement must
take place if we defeat Sewanee.
Some of the backs would go into
the line backwards, and a ten
dency to fumble was occasional
ly noticed.
To mention any one player
would perhaps be an injustice to
the others, but among the fea
tures of the game were Gor
don's tackling, Dorsey’s all-
around work, and Dickinson’s
line bucking and end runs.
Kidley and Baxter got down the
field after punts in go<xl style,
and the former kicked well.
Monk, Hewlett* and McCutch-
eon played, good hard ball, and
there is* no especial fault to be
found with any one man—but
the whole team needs hard
practice.

New Club Formed.
A worthy successor to the ill-
fated Bohemian Club has been
formed among the under class
men. It is called the T. N. P
club.
The significance of these in'-
lials is a dark mystery, and is
zealously guarded by the mem
bers of the organization, who
are: Edwin Camp, Herbert
Clay, “Baby” Linder, Fort
Scott and John Wing.
The object of the club is
purely social and literary.
