What’s the matter with Tech?
The question is agitating the students and alumni at present
and the usual “She’s all right” answer is not readily forth
coming, not so far as the football team is concerned, anyway.
Of course three tilings the matter are: (1) Cofer dropped,
(2) Johnson off the field because of a suspicion about his amateur
standing, (3) Sims sick.
And to make the trio a quartette we might add: (4) stage
fright.
There is no getting far from the fact that Tecli has never
shown her true form as yet, except probably in the last half of the
Dahlonega game.
There is a team with considerable weight, some little experi
ence, as competent coaching as one man ever gave any team,
strong backing by alumni and student body—and yet:—
Well, nobody will say that the bunch ever played its game
for a whole afternoon. In the Tennessee game they were
wobbly in the extreme and against Auburn fumbling turned what
should at least have been a tie into a bitter defeat.
Four men—Robert, Davis, Ilill and Snyder—and especially
the three first named, played brilliant ball on Saturday.
Hill’s running with the ball was the most spectacular sight
of the day. Every time he grabbed the leather he was like a inad
thing and* dashed down the field, dodging what tacklers he could,
straight-arming some of the rest and wriggling Belong with the
few who finally reached him. It was his neat work in getting
under an on-side kick that enabled Tech to score.
Robert played his usual steady, aggressive, thinking game.
He was a marvel in every department and so was Davis. The
whole Auburn team laid for the ex-American University player
and in the first half they stopped him. In the second, however,
he made some good gains.
Snyder did some neat tackling and was especially good' on
the defensive.
The glaring weakness was in the center of the line on de
fensive. Time after time Hughes, the full back of the Auburn
team, ripped open the Tech line for huge gains. It was appar
ently a go-as-you-please affair every time he was called on to go
through center and his work was spectacular.
It is doubtful if a Southern game under the new rules has
shown such a large number of successful attacks on the line and
so few good end runs as Aubhrn pulled off.
Connting out returned punts, and gains made when fumbles
and attempted forward passes were secured, Auburn made just
eight attempts to run Tech’s ends and these netted the Alabama
team’exactly eight yards—a measley average of one yard to the
attempt.
Twenty-five times Auburn bucked the line. Eight times there
was practically no gain or a loss. Five times there were 8 or
more yards gained. In all 97 yards were made in that way, or an
average of nearly four yards to a trial.
These figures indicate something either about Auburn’s
strong point or Tech’s weak point.
Auburn’s handling of the forward pass was also instructive.
Four times it was attempted and not once was more than 15 yards
nor less than 10 yards made.
The Alabama Polys had a short pass that worked to perfec
tion. Tech’s didn’t. In fact, nothing in the Tech stable of stunts
was on its good behavior Saturday.
It is up to the Tech team. They have Georgia, Scwanee, Van
derbilt and Clomson, four hard teams, to tackle this season.
And except for the rest that the Mercer game will afford, they
come in a row. On the strength of Saturday’s showing they will
eertainly lose all but the Georgia game, and perhaps that.
The Tech team is not losing because of a lack of weight, age,
experience, physical condition or coaching.
Then whyt
You can search us, but it is a tough problem and one that
Tech men have got to work out for themselves and work out jn a
hurry.
It’s up to the Yellowjaekets.

YALE AND THE INDIANS
LOOK LIKE REAL CHAMPS
By W. 8. FARNSWORTH.
New York, Oct. 28.—It'a too bad Car-
Hale doesn't play Yale.
1C begins to look am though one of
theae two would carry off the gridiron
supremacy of 1907. although at present
Harvard muat be figured In the run
ning. There la a way to show Yale
much superior to Carlisle—that la. by
figuring on paat performances, which Is
a mighty poor way of doping out their
respective abilities.
The Indiana were only able to run up
a 10 to 0 score against Villa Nova,
while Yale totalled uo to points against
the same team. And another point In
favor of Yale Is that she has not been
scored on thus far. while the Indians
have seventeen black marks ugalnsr
their record.
The Carllsle-Prlnceton game Satur
day Is the only one of the week which
has any chance of changing the respec
tive standing of the two leaders and It
Is doubtful If that struggle will make
any differences, for on the same kind
of dope the Indiana outclass the Tigers.

CLEMSONCOACHTALKS,
BUT NOT OF CLEMS0N
There was quite an array of coach
ing talent on hand to see Auburn down
Tech Saturday afternoon.
In addition to Tech’s two coaches,
Heisman and Hall, and Auburn’s two,
Klenholz and Donahue, Pollard, of Au
burn, and Shaughnessy, of Clemson,
were on the Job.
The last-named gridiron mogul was
especially Interested In the proceedings,
as his team meets both Tech and Au
burn later this season.
flhaughnessy Is a great rooter for the
Vanderbilt team and McOugln.
"I may be wrong, but I believe that
Vanderbilt Is going to pin It on Michi
gan next Saturday,” he said, after the
game here Saturday. “And I’ll tell you
why. Vanderbilt Is stronger than she
was last year. Campbell Is just as good
a man as Dan Blake, and that Is aw
fully good, and Morton Is making them
forget Manler. In the line they are no
worse off.
"Michigan will outweigh them In the
line, but 1 don’t think that It will make
much difference. Homo of that Michi
gan weight may be mush. And Vander
bilt’s beef Is all bone and muscle.
"In the line Michigan may have a
slight advantage, but they haven't In
the back field. Costen will not have any
trouble In putting It over any Michigan
quarter; Craig Is better than the best
of Michigan'* backs and so fs Campbell.
They will not show Morton up much
either.
“Then you can’t discount McGugln. It
Isn’t what he knows of foot ball—t hough
that’s a lot. It’s the spirit he puts in
the men. McGugln does not have to
teach his men much football. They
know it when they hit Vanderbilt. All
he has to do Is to get them together and
put the spirit In them.
"With those Vanderbilt runners It Is
always a case of ’Give me the ball!
Give me the ball.’ And they do the
rest. With men like that coaching Is a
dream.”
Shaughnessy played against McGugln
when the Clemson coach was with
Notre Dame and knows Dan as a play
er ns well us a coach. Since leaving
college the Irishman has been playing
ball with the San Francisco team of the
Pacific Const League and Is a gretit
judge of athletic talent.
When asked whether or not his team
ould down Tech and Auburn, he smiled
mysteriously and didn’t say anything.
But it must be confessed he did not
look very much discouraged.

DAVE MORTON.
Here la Vanderbilt's fullback and
a star he Is proving to be. Last
year Morton made the Glee Club
and the Commodores thought that
was the limit of his ability. When
McGugln neoded'a fullback to take
Owsley Manler’s place, Morton got
a trial and made good with ease.
He Is going to make a strong bid
for all-Southern fullback this year.

time.
At one time during the second half
Captain Smith, of Georgia, skirted right
end for ten yards and a touchdown,
but was called back because some
teammates made an off-side play. The
Georgia boys had begun to yell and
were greatly disappointed when called
back. Coach Whitney rushed upon the
field and asked for an explanation. It
was given and he seemed satisfied..
There was considerable punting, and,
taking everything Into consideration, It
was a poor exhibition of football. Fum
bles were frequent, off-side plays were
many and spectacular playf few and
far between.
Only one time did Alabama get
straight down to football playing, and
that was in the second half, when she
brought the ball forward rapidly on
straight line bucks. This brought cheers
from the thousands of , supporter*
there, but It did not last, as the ball
was lost on downs.
Captain Smith, of Georgia, and Cap
tain Hannon, of Alabama, were the
star players, and they did some excel
lent work. Hannon frequently made
sensational runs.
Georgia had three trials at kicking
the goal from the field, but poor kick
ing lost the ball. Hannon broke
through the line at one time and broke
up the play.
Both sides suffered penalties and the
spectators could not tell whether to
cheer or not when a good run was
made, because the team might be called
back for holding or off-side.

tried the forward pass it worked; every
time Tech tried It, It failed.
Most of Auburn's attacks on the line
were ‘successful. Hughes is the best
smashing full that has hit Tech park
since Owsley Munier.
Only at end had Tech any advantage
and there the Yellow Jackets showed
up well. Robert and Hill kept end
runs looking dubious for Auburn and
had much to do with Auburn’s frequent
use of line plays.
Auburn made the first touchdown.
With 46 yards to go, a forward pass for
10 yards and five plays through the line
sent the ball over for the first 5 points.
Goal was kicked. This event was soon
followed by a touchdown for Tech. Aft
er a couple of plays Hill ran 50 yards
and got the ball down Into Auburn's
territory. The leather changed hands
twice and then Tech worked an onslde
kick. •Hill got under the ball and went
over for a touchdown. Buchanan
