Admit Georgia's weaknesses. Re member the early setback of the Vanderbilt game, which was enough to have broken the spirit of the hardest fighting force. Hearken to the stories (hat are whispered from Athens that fraternities are playing i part in football-. Grant that Georgia's physical fitness will not measure up to that of the Hels tnanites. Consider it unlikely that Cunningham has planned any strat egy that the wily Heisman has not prepared for. Then let the words ring out. "But rem. inlier Georgia's weight," and they chime With a cheeriness that would make t Christmas carol sound like the foot steps of a bill collector on pay day. Threw Weight on Line. . And so on Saturday the thou sands of football enthusiasts who will journey to Ponce Del.eon for tile fray will see Georgia's great heft thrown time anti time against the Mender forwards of the Yellow Jackets. Gradually, it is the Geor gia plan, to batter the Tech strength down and then stvei’p on through a game but hopeless de fense t<> victory. of course, Heisman will try to obviate this, but w hen the question. "How can he?" is propounded Sol omon could probably not answer, nor can the Tech coach. A line of 170-pound men will move a line of 150-pound athletes if it sticks to the work long enough. This yeai's football rules have given an added premium on weight. Four downs are given a team to move forward ten yards, and with difference in beef and brawn it is difficult to see how the lighter fighters are to stop the attack. Last year's clash between the Yellow ami W hite and the Red and Black gives a valuable object les son. and in 1911 the weight dis crepancy was not so much In Geor gia's favor as it is this year. In the fust quarter Tech’s speed fairly duzeled the Athenians. The ball was constantly in Georgia s territory. The thousands of yelling alumni of the state univer.-ity were dumbfounded with the showing. But Cunningham had planned his game well. He kept battering away at the line. « •The second quarter still found Tech playing the better ball, but it also found the Georgia defense strengthening. It was not so much Georgia's Improvement. It was Tech's weakening under the terri ble bombardon nt Team Finally Played Out. And In the third quarter Techs doom was plain to every one. It v as only a question of seconds be fore a Georgia back would cross the goal. Once more the signal was giten for a lin< attack and Mc- Whorter was sent over tackle. The Tech forwards were spilled. Mc- Whorter j*.gged by the fit st defense. Then time and again he was tac kled. but the Jackets Were too weakened to hold a runner of Mc- Whorter's strength He threw them off with the case of a profession 'll burglar easting .side" conscience. The game was Georgia's. If this was the proper attack last year and it proved all of that this year it should be doubly effec tive. Tech’s sole chance seems to rest 'in playing Georgia oft her feet with a series of tricks and forward passes In the early stages that will pile up a score than the Athenians can not overtake when the midget linemen are . rushed An*l, therefore, It wouldn't be surprising to both sides s o Ing repeatedly. but whatever the i. “lilt It Is aure to be n gum. worth going mil. » to see, a buttle for b.x.d, * meeting of n*|il< and bl oadsw vi d, u duel b*-tw*en six* snoot* r and Kiuiw- iriin •••••••••••••••••••••••••• • GEORGIA AND TECH : : TEAMS MATCHED J : evenly on paper: • • • Application of the arithmetical • • rule of atio and pioportiop to the • • games thus far played this- season • • show s that til.- Georgia and Tech • • football teams (hat meet in At- • • lanta Saturday ar,- on paper • • evenly- matched • • Georgia and T ch. thus far this • • season, have each played six • • gam.-s Georgia lias scored 118 • • points to the opposition’s 74.

Pitchers of long experience, like Christy Mathewson, and who arc expected to know how much pre liminary practice they' can best stand to get them fit. appear to be just as over-exuberant when their arms feel good as ambitious young sters who have their reputations to make. Catchers who receive the balls the pitchers throw’ up during the warm-up period, were scarcely ever known to choke off a too enthusi astic twirler. They appear to think, as does the manager, that a pitcher should know his own business and how much workout lie can stand better than any one else. And that seems to be the plan followed by all managers and catchers in gen eral. It is a very bad system. It must necessarily be so. There i§f no pitcher w ho ever lived, who. if his arm “feels great," will not cut loose more speed than he ought to and continue longer than is best for his strength and stamina, un less he is Called down and warned that he is going dangerously far. But who is to give them the warn ing, or who does, rather? Robinson Recognizes Fault. I have seen Coach Wilbert Rob inson, of the Giants, once Jn a while shout to a pitcher. “That's enough, what do you want to do, pitch yourself out?" But unfor tunately, it is not "Robbie” who does the warm-up job with the pitchers who are to work in a game. He is usually busy in try ing out some youngster, and Man ager McGraw is batting to the in fielders. Catchers seem to be averse to telling their pitchers what to do, • and then again two catchers work with one pitcher, and therefore fail to appreciate how much their pitch er is doing. It is safe to s-ay that more pitch ers have been knocked out of the box by reason of overworking themselves prior to a game than from being out of condition other wise. This is the opinion held by Jack Lynch, the pitcher of the old Mets, Washingtons. Buffaloes and othei dubs in the curly days of the game and who was om- of the-most fa mous bi.xmen in the count y and contemporaneous, too, with such t racks as Radbourne. Keefe, Welch. Buffington. John I’laikson. Mullan-' and others. Lynch probably has the record of pitching more games In one day and winning them all than any other twirler. When with the Na tionals of Washington, then an un attached club, he pitched three games in one day. At Fall Rivet, Mass., in the morning of a Decora tion day. at 1 o'clock in Taunton, and at Providence. R. 1., at 4 in tile afternoon. It is needless to re mark that Lynch did little warm ing up before any of the trio of games, and he did not believe in much of it when he had but one game to pitch. Worked Every Other Day. Lynch, in speaking of the pre liminary p' active of pitchers to me. said: "When Tim Keefe and I were pitching for the Mets tn 1883-84, w. were the only pitchers with Hie duh and we bad to work every other day and possibly that is the reason why wo did not feel like warming up too long and hard, but • ten with pitch*" s of the present day who ar. asked Io wo;k only twl.i .i we' .it the most, nil that is necessary is for them to work out their shoulder muscles only enough to be sure they are stretch ed enough out of the necessary suppleness. There is no need of ' getting up the big sweats that pitchers seem to think they require nowadays. Os course, we old timers loved the good old sweat the same as pitchers do now, but we would not ever exert ourselves to get it before a game, to that ex tent that it would weaken us. “I have watched Tesreau and Marquard warm up before games at the Polo grounds this past sum mer when I felt like calling them down myself. Tesreau makes a lot of work for himself when he is pitching anyhow. He has a tear ing, wearing delivery and, being a big fellow, he works himself much more than pitchers with a smooth er action. “On a hot day such as I saw him warm up and the way- the perspira tion poured off him, he must have been pretty nearly all in before the game started, and he surely showed it by his w'drk in the first few in nings of a couple of games J well remember. A Waste of Energy, "In the ten minutes of warm-up work a pitcher who works fast, as most of them do now. will ’’pitch nearly as many balls as he may be called on to use during an errtire game, and he pitches his head off in practice, too. In my opinion it can not help but be a most need less and dangerous waste of ener gy. It is bound to be. ''Again. I have noticed that the other players, besides the pitchers work too much before a game. It is all well enough to have speed to burn and give a lightning fast ex hibition of preliminary fielding for the benefit of the spectators, but when that period is over the play ers should take a short rest before the game begins; but no, they- are out doing their lively stunts that must sap their stamina and take all the ginger and good old pop out of them.” Lynch has always been a great student of pitching and baseball. He knows more about box work and its science right now than the majority of the pitchers who are drawing salary. He was always an originator and was the discoverer of some of the most effective deliv eries now in use. He would be a model pitcher-cpach if he could be induced to accept such a position. Welsh Regains English Title From Wells in Twenty Fierce Rounds LONDON.

Take a look at the Georgia-Tech game of 1910, the first time that Georgia had beaten Tech in seven years. “Red" Hill, on a beautiful run around right end, scored the first touchdown of the game, ami "Doc” Wilson kicked goal, the score standing <> to 0 at the end of the first half. Georgia scored a touchdown on hard play in the third quarter, bm the quarter ended with the ball in Tech's possession on Georgia's ten yard line. A signal, a budk, and a fumble, and Georgia had the ball and. with renewed courage, went up the hill, and In the last minute of play scored the winning touch down. Maddox being the man who carried the ball across. I he game was so cluse that the battle was called just as the last play started, and Georgia won just by a fraction of a minute. That was the main game for that season, and it was lost McWhorter Turned Trick. Again we have something that is unexplainable to happen in the Georgia game of 1911. Tech ami Georgia both played a beautiful game, and in the first half the Yel low Jackets twice had tne ball on Georgia's eight-yard line, and yet no score; but in an open field, after several attempts on the same play . Bob McWhorter broke through the line, and again Tech lost by one lone touchdown. A side back was slow in coming up. and Mc- Whorter got a start, and that was enough. that was the biggest game lost by a single misplay, or rather an unlucky- coincidence. Stop for a minute and glance at the Auburn game, 11 to 6. Tech had Auburn 6 to 5 up to the last quarter, and was on Auburn's five yard line, when a forward, pass play was called and Newell, an Auburn ‘sub, intercepted the pass and ran 105 yards for a touchdown and a victory for Auburn. Just one fail ure to back up a pass, and Tech lost the best chance she will have in years- to defeat a bitter rival Sewanee Was Lucky, Too. And now the same relentless N mesis is still with the Tech team After having upset all dope and played Sewanee a magnificent game, a single fluke, and the moun tain tigers go back to their lair witli a ball with 7 to 0 painted on It. Now, the great question is: Will it or will it not? Will luck break even and let hard work and honest effort get a chance. «>r will it step in just as the dawn of a better day Is breaking and put Tech back in the line of "couldn’t break the jinx ?" W ith a fair show, the Yellow Jackets have a medium chance of scoring, but, score or no score, the team will put up a never-even think-of-die tight, and Georgia ha been stung before, and may I"' again. paLzer TO FIGHT ROSS.
