“ON TO ATLANTA AND Stone 'Mountain 12; DEANE AGAIN WINS
DOWN WITH THE TECH.” Georgia Scrubs 5 TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
Is the Fierce and Inspiriting Slogan that
Will Sound on the Campus all of this
Week. Indications are that Every
Student will Attend Tech's
Obsequies.

Next Saturday will usher in the great clash between Georgia and l ech
in Atlanta. Tech will have her full student body on the field to whoop
things up for her. Atlanta will pour her thousands into the l ech Hats
A part of this concourse will be for Tech, but the greater portion will sport
the Red and black. Georgia’s loyal brass hand will be there to make all
the noise of which it is capable The faculty will be largely represented.
In the face of all this it is absolutely imperative that Georgia’s full stu
dent body be in attendance bubbling over with enthusiasm ’to lead in the
demonstrations for her team, and to bring out all the pride which her back
ers in the huge crowd feel for her. and which they will manifest in lusty
lunged rooting if the pace is only set for them.
The game Saturday is a crucial lest and is one where each individual can
do his part. Two years ago for the first time in the history of football a
Tech team triumphed over Georgia. L ist year athletic affairs were in an
extremely had way and a woefully light and green team went down in de
feat, struggling to the last ditch. Two seasons of phenoniinally good
fortune have greeted Tech's efforts while two seasons of correspondingly
disastrous results have been Georgia’s portion.
It is now up to each individual rooter to determine whether or not the
old days will be renewed. Not even one person can afford to stay away
thinking there will be enough without him. Absolutely everybody must
be at the game backing the team heart and soul, lung and tongue. If this
is done Georgia will surely triumph and the old bell in the chapel belfry
will once again proclaim in clarion tones that Georgia reigns supreme in
the old State.
The team is a magnificent one this year, infinitely better than the Atlanta
papers and l ech give it credit for being, and each member of it is animated
by the most intense desire to vanquish the Tech and dominated by the
most unswerving determination to sacrifice everything in doing it. Each
one is ready to batter himself into a pulp and then let his sub take his
place and finish the job if need be.
With such a spirit as this animating the team victory is almost certain to
follow. With each student lined up around the gridiron in Atlanta next
Saturday, moved by the same desire and determination, victory is inevita
ble.
And all things seem to indicate that such a result is coining to pass. On
the campus the bustle of preparation is incessant, the buzz of excited spec
ulation is unceasing. Anticipatory thrills are tickling the spines of Seniors
and freshmen alike. The faculty is excited, a holiday will in all probability
be declared; a special train with cheap rates will be run. Athens is agog
with the spirit and in a general exodus everything is preparing lo emigrate
to Atlanta. And amid it all the men on whom Georgia pins her hopes art-
working steadily, with an intensity of purpose and a fierce sort of confidcnce
that are the very essense of victory.
In short everything seems to point to most hair-raising doings when the
curtain goes up at the l ech Flats next Saturday afternoon, and Georgia is
sending out a general rallying cry to her alumni all over the State to get
front seats for the matinee.

The next match, that of Carter,
the winner of the ’o6-’o7 singles,
versus Deane the 'ofi-'o6 champion,
was played last Monday and was the
occasion nt a great deal of interest
both among tennis players of the
University and the other students.
Carter was ninsidered in a little bet

the experience to fall back on and
that was wli.it told in the end.
The first set was very close, and
first one and then the other seemed
to have the set cinched, but after a
