Front Coach Heisman to tin low liest freshman, it has been echoed and re-echoed. Beware, McWhorter! The glim challenge has been shouted in Athens until the ivy i lad walls of the ancient university shake with its force. On the tre mendous driving power in this one man's body, the nope of all the hosts of the Red and Black is pinned. And they are sure they do not place their faith unwisely. Twice they have seen their colors flaunted above their most bitter rivals in the past two years. They have turned homeward from Ponce DeLeon park with hearts beluga sa lute to the prowess of an individual player. Each time their praises rang for McWhorter And in this third year, whatever the result, the burden of Georgia will rest on his broad back. Tech believes it can win - if It were not for McWhorter Georgia believes it might lose- if It were not for McWhorter. No football player who has chewed a nose guard since the game was introduced in Dixie ever faced more responsibility in a sin gle combat, if Tech wins, it will be because they have solved his dy namic attack. If Georgia loses it will be due to a too great regard for one man’s ability. AH Lay For McWhorter. McWhorter has been working un der n terrific handicap all season. In no game has he entered when the opposing defense wits told to lav for him and crush him. Those who saw Georgia over whelmed by Vanderbilt, will re member with what wolfish vora ’ piousness the Commodore forwards charged into Georgia’s star half back. McGugln has assigned two men to do nothing but smother him. Tty as he would, he could not shako them off They stuck to him like leeches Harris Cope, of Sewanee, had seen the effectiveness of this strat egy of the Vandy coach and when the Red and Black met the Purple, he. too. had men whose sole pur pose in life was to mow him down Despite this, he scored two touch downs and gave his college an equal standing in Southern football with the Tigers from Tennessee. And Heisman overlook- no bets, it is whispered about football eli des that the Tech wizard will have McWhoiter as th- objective in both his attack ami ills defens. When the Yellow and White has the ball play after play will be aimed at him. When Georgia is carrying the attack Tech men will charge for .McWhorter, and McWhorter only It may be that this method of battle will prevail. Il is po-sible that the constant battiring will wear down the halfback until when Georgia’s line has at last worn I DR. E. C.

The scheme of campaign would probably work against a less sturdy warrior than McWhorter, hut even .1- his body is of oak, so his heart is of Iron, Few gamer lights have been seen than his hopeless, help less, gallant < hargeSr against the impregnable Vanderbilt defense. He has stood the storm of scores of stricken Helds and he has never qualified For two seasons he has been a marked man. hut rarely has the mark been thorn emlui Ing than the scixiteh of chalk on a rain soaked fence paling. Still, it seems Tech's chance. But in taking advantage of it. the dan ger must be encountered of other Georgia player.- rising to unexpect ed heights and making the plan go for nothing. Still it will be a glor ious fight to watch, ami though lie succeed or tail, the crowd's plaud its must lie McWhorter's. If these were those halycon days of old football, with the Hying wedge and those thousand and other close formations which could be used for the purpose of putting away a dangerous opponent, if these were the days when it was considered entirely ethical for the coach to instruct his team to "put McWhorter out in the Hist live minutes,” Bis position would be anything but a pleasant one. Game Much Cleaner Now. But a gent lei era lias fallen on the game. It is now considered un sportsmanlike to endeavor to kill a rival player Just because he is a good one. And. furthermore, the play is too open and the officials too' vigilant for any rough-neck business to be started without the gravest danger to the team that tries it There is no suggestion that Tech considers even for a second the maiming of McWhorter, but if they are able to hold him and kbep themselves clean, the glory of their victory will shim with a renewed brilliance that has not been seen on the Tech campus sine.—since tin- sun began to make a morning bow.

Terrific Right Hand Smash Ends Heavyweight Fiasco in Second Round CARL MORRIS SENDS KEATING BACK TO CANADA By W. S. Farnsworth. <TA WO hundred and fifty' pounds | of bulk was hurled at 210 pounds of the same stuff — mostly fat and untrained muscle— at the Dixie Athletic club’s opening show, and the heavier bulk won in two rounds. Carl Morris stopped Jack Keating with a right-hand smash to the stomach. It wasn't a light, but a one-sided affair one-sided as much as the I’. S.-Spain fiasco down in Cuba not so many years back. Morris could have probably won in the first round had he caged. But he wanted to give the fans a little run for their money and very generously held off until the middle of Spasm 2 before forcing us to rise from our comfortable seat and ease ourselves out into the night atmosphere. No Fighting in First Round. Round one amounted to naught. Keating, a tall, lanky Canadian who claims the heavyweight title north of the Falls, did a few fancy steps that would have done credit to a Genee, and always fell into a clinch as he finished the last step of the light fantastic stuff. As he went into these clinches he didn’t know how to protect himself any more than a fish out of water. Morris could have pumped either hand to lite stomach and sent the young Canadian to the Land of Sleep. But, as 1 said before, the Sapul pa giant very kindly’ held off until Round 2. In this second and final period Morris meant business. He chased Keating to the ropes. He jabbed with his massive paw—a veritable ham—and first blood was his, for the organ was smashed to a pulp. Then Carl stepped back to view the "artistic” work that the jab had done. Keating, for no reason in the world, rushed into the 250 pounds of Oklahoma beef, head lowered. Morris hooked hard with his left, hut it was a wild offering and went over tile Canadian's bead. But his right didn't miss the mark. 1 should say not. Right to Body Finished It. The second Morris saw Ips south paw go astray he brought tip a right from the floor and it penetrat ed broke, smashed and busted Keating's guard as though it was so much paper, and tlte sledge hammer fist buried itself about ten inches in the Canadian's rotund stomach. As soon as Morris pulled his fist out Keating fell to the floor. He was as cold as tile iceberg that caused the Titanic to flounder and sink to the bottom of the Atlantic. It was fully an hour before he real ized that his name was Keating. And I imagine that his breakfast tills morning and for many morn ings to come will consist of noth ing heavier than thin soup. Morris is not the same Morris that fought Jim Flynn in Madison Square Garden a year ago. His physical condition at present is about par in a Brew league. But Carl says that he is ‘'coming back" now and that it will take him two or three good, hard fights to get at Ids best. We'll take his word for It. As for Keating. I said yesterday’ that I had no line on him and print ed the statement “lie may be a bearcat or lie may be a bum.” He is not a bearcat. Mike Saul Wins on Foul. Mike Saul won tile semi-windup on a foul over Eddie Hanlon in the fifth round. Mike wasn't fouled once, but about twenty times. LOOKOUTS SELL ALLEN: OTHERS WILL BE SOLD l HA TTANtxiGA TENN.

To'quiet the noisy’ members who were for Hanlon, the announcer, a dapper young man, cried out: "The referee would have given the decision to Hanlon had he not committed a palpable foul.” For why, when and wherefore SECRET PRACTICE FOR GEORGIA THIS WEEK ATHENS, GA., Nov. 13.—The Georgia teain was put through a light scrimmage yesterday afternoon, the first in a week, and from now until late Friday’ after noon Coach Cunningham will at tempt to drill his machine suffi ciently to penetrate the Tech de fense and to meet the swift at tack of the fast Yellow Jacket back field. Secret practice is being held behind closed gates, and no body will be allowed on the field at any time this week except for a few minutes tomorrow and Friday afternoons, when the battalion will arch down to the field, headed by the band, and some concerted root ing done. Joe Harrell, the big tackle of two seasons, who has been unable to practice for two weeks on account of a bud shoulder, was out in uni form again yesterday, and ran sig nals for a short time, but he will hardly get in the game unless some one gets knocked out. Wheatley also reported again, but is in mis erable shape, and so is Crump. Only the anxiety to down the Yellow Jackets and the desire of every Red and Black player to play in the annual great game with Tech has caused these crippled regulars to limp around in an attempt to get in good enough shape to get in the ga me. That tlie game Saturday will bo the best ever played between the TECH REGULARS AND SCRUBS IN HOT GAME ■ ■ ■ ■ ■■ ■ —■ - .. . ,f rpHE Yellow Jackets and the I scrubs had it tooth and nail yesterday afternoon in the hardest scrimmage of tile season and it was about a draw, the var sity not responding to the scrubs’ fierce attack as readily as they could have done, AH the regulars weie playing ex cept Thomasson and he will be out of scrimmage all the week, most likely, on account of a bad back, which he wrenched in the Sewanee game. However, he will be in good shape and will be well rested for the big affair on Saturday next. Cook has a bad leg which he is nursing very carefully and hopes to be in condition by the end of the week. DEMAREST AND SUTTON ARE BILLIARD WINNERS NEW YORK, Nov. 13 -George Sut ton and Calvin Demarest, both of Chi cago, wer. the winners in last night's contest of the 18.2 balk line billiard championship tournament here. Sutton easily defeated Al Taylor, of Milwau kee. suo to 201. limning out in the 24th inning Demarest outclassed Kodji Yamada, of Japan. 500 to 280. play last ing 30 inning-.

Saul was fouled time and again and at the time was holding a ten-mile lead over Hanlon. The first bout, between Frank Baker and Kid Lovett, was de clared a draw, although Baker was an easy winner to my way’ of fig uring. two Georgia rival colleges is as sured, not only because the teams appear to be pretty evenly matched, but on account of the fact that this is the rubber game. As the two elevens now stand, each has won seven games, while one result ed in a scoreless tie. It is needless to say that both will fight fiercely for the advan tage game that the winner of Sat urday's big noise will carry’ off. In the fifteen games played up to date, the Blacksmiths have the shade tile better in the number of points scored, having rolled up a total of 162, while the Athenians have scored but 152. The Red and Black will attempt to even this up. In but one game that Tech has ever lost to Georgia have they been able to score, this one coming in 1910, when the score was 11 to 6. In every other defeat the Jackets have gone scoreless when Athens was celebrating. The Seaboard Air Line lias put on a special rate for the trip to Atlanta, and if a general holiday is not declared, arrangements can be made by the students with their professors by which every’ one can attend the game. A special, deco rated train will carry the Georgia rooters over, and it is expected that fully one thousand students and Athens citizens will take ad vantage of the opportunity of see ing the biggest game of tile sea son played in Georgia. One serious accident occurred when Henderson, a scrub player, had his hand broken while making a tackle. The injured list has been very light this year, that is, serious injuries, only one other scrub man having gotten hurt,’ Tyler Mon tague being so unlucky as to get his leg broken. The team is working fairly well together, but need a little time to again attain the pitch reached in last Saturday’s game.
