Just about as many as there are inhabitants in Savannah and Athens all gathered in a great mass of Crimson and Blue, with 10,- 000 college boys, fired with all the enthusiasm of youth, seated on opposite sides and cheering their teams in viec tory and defeat. : We observed the crowd, the students and the teams and things in general that happened around New Haven and the big bowl with keen eyes and ears and looked for anything that might distin guish the clagsics of the east from that of the South, Georgia versus Tech, or Georgia versus Alpbama, and we found many things in common and many things different.
