GEORGIA DEFEATS TECH 20 TO 0.
FOR THIRD SUCCESSIVE YEAR THE RED AND BLACK IS VICTORIOUS OVER THE WHITE AND GOLD
The University of Georgia football j
eleven defeated the Georgia Tech
team at Ponce de Leon park Satur
day afternoon, before 8,000 football
enthusiasts, by the score of 20 to 0.
It was clearly a case of the best
team winning. True the element of
luck figured in one of the touch
downs, but as Georgia scored twice!
more during the game, the Tech ad
herents can tin J little consolation
In this.
Tech almost scored once In the
second quarter, but as the man with
the ball went over the goal line, he
fumbled and a wide-awake Georgia
player fell on the pigswin for a
touchback, and Tech's best chance to
score was lost.
In passing, especial mention should
be unde of the fine spirit shown by
the players of both teams throughout
the entire battle. Although they
fought Ilerroly all the way through,
there wa» none of the unnecessary
roughness that too frequently marks
the playing of a big football game,
especially one that means go much
to both schools as this game did.
The game was fastly played and

stubbornly fought by both sides on
the defensive, with some of the most

The prep championship of the

The G. M. C. team has made a

brilliant kind of football Interspersed
throughout on the offensive by the
men carrying the ball for both sides.
To McWhorter, of Georgia, and
McDonald, of Tech, go the lion's
shares of the honors for the offensive
work of their teams. They were
also ever present on the defensive, I

live men being in Iroct or,him with
the ball; though lie showed that he
is the McWhorter of old by carrying
i the ball into his opponents’ territory
practically unaided.
For Tech, McDonald played the
greatest game. He played practical
ly the entire offensive game for the
Jackets. The Georgia rooting dele
gation would sit In anxious suspense
at the time that he was running with
the ball.
His punts were just as timely us
they have been in everv game this
season, and just as accurate, but It
was In running back the punts and
kick-offs of the opposing side that he
shone the ntoBt.
McDonald made gains through the
broken field of 18, 20 and 2,". yards.
He returned a punt once 20 yurds,
30 on another and capped it by com
ing back through the entire Georgia
team half the length of the field.
A new star Is in the ascendent at
Georgia, and this Is In the person of
Paddock, who called signals for the
Georgia bunch. His broken-field
run of 57 yards was easily the one
individual feature of the entire game,
and made possible Georgia's first
touchdown.
He seemed to diagnose the plays
well and directed his attack excel
lently. The Georgia team looked 100
per cent better than when It was
seen in the Vanderbilt game here.
3’ltere was more snap and dash to
the attack.
Georgia would not have scoretl
her first touchdown In the second
quarter but for a penalty. With the
ball within 3 yards of Tech's goal,
the heavier Georgians were thrown
for losses four times, and but for the
penalty, which came on the fourth
down, the ball would have gone over
to Tech on their 8-yard line. It went
back to the 3-yurd line and first
down for Georgiu.
Bowden, Malone and Henderson
also played good games for Georgia.
In fact, every man did Ills share and
as In the case of the Tech team,
each player did so much that It Is
really an injustice to any one to pick
out t'.ii' real stars.
Mul there were plays during llie
'..ini,' that stood out above every
thing else and the fortunate man that
happened to be making the play
••HP*
er.nio in for the credit that was due
him.
Georgia scored in the second quar
ter as the result of tne penalty above
described. .McWhorter's great work
In carrying the ball down the field
with the aid of Paddock and Mow-
den made the second score possible,
and In the main It was practically
McWhorter unaided that made the
third.
Georgia played her heat hall dur
ing the third quarter. They march
ed down the field here for a touch
down within a few minutes, with
McWhorter battering his way against
the lighter Tech line practically two
plays In three.
Tech played her best ball in the
second quarter. when by dazzling
end runs they took the ball over for
a touchdown. The hall wus rushed
from their own territory right down
the field, with McDonald and Cook
carrying the ball, and then on a
quick cut through tackle, McDonald
went over for a touchdown. But he
fumbled the ball and a Georgia man
fell on it.
The forward pass was noticeable
by its failure. Tech could not work
her forward passes, but two short
ones did gain. Georgia failed on
hers, but did not try half the number
that Tech did.
The best team really won the
game. Tech was outweighed. It Is
true, and fought against odds, but
the team with the better hunch won.
Georgia has won her big game of
the year; the game of games, and
they are Justly happy In their vic
tory. Tech fought a good fight and
are heroes In defeat for the plucky
game that they put up.
