The last line of defense has been

four o’clock as of years past will
Georgia and Tech go at each other on
the baseball diamond as fiercely as

The Tech Yellowjafikets, fl&unting
a standard that bat few teams have
been able to lower this season,' come
to Invade the classic home of the
local collegians and with memories
of two successive defeats of last sea
son lingering in their thoughts of
Athens they are coming with blood in
their eyes and do or die in their sys
tems. But one team stands between
the Blacksmiths and a successful sea
son and this Is the team they had
rather beat than any other on the
schedule and the straggle to accom
plish this end begins this afternoon
when Westbrook serves up the first
fast one to the vlBiting lead off man.
There has never been a series
staged when so much secrecy was
maintained in the camps of both
teams. Bren now the lineups of both
teams are not definite although given
out by the two coaches. From Atlan
ta not a word of forecast has been
issued but both teams are being
moved by a spirit of confidence that
Is working as an under current.
There is hardly much to choose be
tween the two outfits. What one ex
ceeds in the other makes up in an
other department. If Tech has the
bqtter pitchers Georgia must be given
the edge in the batting. -But even at
that in this series dope nor previous
records count for. naught. A scrub
hurler might win when a regular
would be batted out of the box.
Then is one time when sentiment
couldn't do much towards running
away with judgment so you can just

WHAT COACH BEAN SAYS

(By Joe Bean,)
Almost on the eve of opening game
between Georgia and Tech, which
event is the classic of the college
baseball season of the South, the
question which is uppermost in the
minds of many is. Will we have good
weather? Well, that is one thing
that we human beings have no con
trol over, but here’s hoping we do
and then let the boys go to It.
On Friday afternoon when the um
pire calls “Play Ball!” 1 hope for the
largest crowd that has ever attended
a Georgia-Tech baseball game on the
opening day. The bands will play,
the rooters will root an/1 all pull for
their favorite. There isn’t any doubt
that both teams will enter the con-

Now that the new x. M. C. A. build

hooves everyone who subscribed to
the building fund to make payments
immediately. It is not a question of
pushing the subscriptions on the part
of those Who have charge of the work
but it is a necessity in order that the
payments for the construction may
be carried on without delay and with
out additional cost which would re
sult from the failure of those who
have subscribed to pay.

association, who are giving their time
and energies to the cause and receiv

citizen who has pledged to help build
a plant which will mean so much to
the entire community.-
If the reader of this article is one
of those who subscribed and bas not
met the obligation, try in some way
to do so, as the time has come when
this money must be made or else the
work will necessarily have to be dis

games stands for naught now. All
other games are washed away and
the slate is clean. These are the
only ones that count.
Tech will enter the series with
what may be termed a veteran t
that has had a successful season and
confident that they will win. Georgia
will enter with a team that may be
called green, one that got away to a
bad start but has Improved with age
until now they have the confidence
of a champion entering the ring.
They have been coming and those
who have seen them In their last
games have not hesitated to say that
they “have come.” The Georgia
team has had a varied career during
the spring and as tne season went
along their improvement was most
noticeable. There were many ob
stacles in the path to success and
they were surmounted with a spirit
that was almost unbelievable.
When we started on our last road
trip and ' left behind Henderson,
Clements and Holden, were they dis
heartened? Not for a second. When
Davis was injured in the first game
on the trip, were they disheartened?
Not in the least. The spirit of Geor
gia rose up in them and knowing
when they left home that their
friends and loyal Supporters could
only see disaster for them they_ said,
We’ll shqw them what the scrubs
can do.” and they did.
With the score 4-0 against them at
Washington and Lee, did they quit
then? No, siree, they went out and
won, and with a miserable game at
Virginia on the first day, did they
quit? The story of the next day will
answer that. Georgia 3, Virginia 1,
