‘Watch McWhorter!’---That’s
War Cry of Tech in Tuning Up
For Struggle With Athenians
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
WATCH McWhoitei! The war
cry has been sounded on
the Tech campus and it
has been echoed by every num who
pins his faitli on the Yellow .Jack
ets in Saturday's titanic struggle.
From Coach Heisman to the lou
dest freshman, it lias been echoed
and re-echoed.
Beware, McWhorter!
The grim challenge has been
shouted in Athens until the ivy clad
walls of the ancient university
shake with it- force. <»n the tre
mendous driving power In this one
man's body, the hope of all the
hosts of the Red and Black is
pinned. And the\ 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 being a sa
lute to the plow ess 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 iose if
it were not for McWhorter.
Nq football player who has
chewed a note guard since, the
game was introduced in Dixie ever
faced mote 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.
AU Lay For McWhorter.
McWhorter has been working un
der a terrific handicap all season,
in no game has he entered when
the opposing defense was told to
lay for him and crush him.
Those who saw Georgia over
whelmed by Vanderbilt, will re
member with what wolfish vora
ciousness the Commodore forwards
charged into Georgia’s star half
back. McGugin has assigned two
men to do nothing but smother him.
Try as he would, he could not shake
them off. They stuck to him like
leeches.
Harris Cope, of Sewanee, had
aeen the effectiveness of this strat
egy of the Tandy coach and w hen
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 overlooks no bets.
It is whispered about football cir
cles that the Tech wizard will have
McWhorter as the objective in both
his attack and his defense. 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. It is possible
that the constant battering will
wear down the halfback until when
Georgia’s line has at last worn

A Marked Man on Gridiron.
i he scheme of campaign would,
piobably work against a less sturdy'
warrior than McWhorter* but even
as his body is of oak -o Ills heart
is of inn. Few garnet lights have
been seen Gian his hopeless, help
less. gallant charges against the
impregnable Vanderbilt defense.
He has stood the storm of scores of
stricken fields ami ho has never
qualified. two seasons he has
been a marked man, but rarely has
the mark been more enduring than
the scratch of chalk on a rain
soaked fence puling.
Still. It seems Tech's chance. But
in taking advantage of it. the dan
ger must be encountered of other
Georgia players rising to unexpect
ed heights and making the plan go
for nothing. Still it will be a glor
ious fight to watch, and though lie
succeed or fail, the crowd’s plaud
its must be 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 tin first five
minutes." his position would be
any thing but a pleasant one.
Game Much Cleaner Now.
But a gentler era has 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 ami 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 keep
themselves clean, the glory of their
victory will shine with a renewed
brilliance that has not been seen
on the Tech campus since—-since
the 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 \V. S. Farnsworth.
''TA WO hundred and fifty pounds
J of bulk was hurled a.t 210
pounds of the same stuff —
mostly fat and untrained muscle—
at the Dixie Athletic club’s opening
show, and tlx heavier bulk won in
two lounds. Carl Morris stopped
Jack Keating with a right-hand
smash to lh< stomach.
It wasn’t a fight, but a one-sided
affair-one-sided as much as the
IT. S.-Spain fiasco down in Cuba
not so many years back. Morris
could have probably won in the first
round had he cared. 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
ihe stomach and sent the young
Canadian to the Land of Sleep.
But, as I 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. Ho.
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 t tklahoma beef, head lowered.
A right uppercut caught the Ca
nadian on the chin and he Hopped
to the canvas for a count of eight.
As he arose a left hook to the head
sent him down again. He was up
at "five,” but very wabbly. Again
he rushed in with lowered head, and
Morris hooked hard with his left,
but it was a wild offering and went
over the Canadian’s head. Rut his
right didn't miss the mark. 1
should say not.
Right to Body Finished It.
Tlte second Morris saw his south
paw go astray he brought up a
right from tlte floor and it penetrat
ed broke, smashed and busted
Keating's guard as thougli it was
so much paper, and the 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 the iceberg that
caused the Titanic to flounder and
sink to tlie bottom of the Atlantic.
It was fully an hour before he real
ised that Ills name was Keating.
And I imagine that his breakfast
this 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
his best. We'll take his word for it.
As for Keating. 1 said yesterday
that I had no line on him and print
ed the statement “lie may he a
bearcat or he may be n bum."
He Is not a bearcat

SECRET PRACTICE FOR
GEORGIA THIS WEEK
A THEN’S, GA.. Nov. 18.—The
Georgia team 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 dosed 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 bad shoulder, was out in uni
form again yesterday, and van sig
nals for a short time, but he will
hardly got 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 Y'ellow
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
game.
That the game Saturday will be
the best ever played between the
TECH REGULARS AND
SCRUBS IN HOT GAME
r-f~\HE Yellow Jackets and the
scrubs had it tooth and nail
yesterday afternoon in the
hardest scrimmage of the season
and it was about a draw, the var
sity not responding to the scrubs'
fierce attack as readily as they
could have done.
All the regulars were playing ex
cept Thomasson and he will be out
of scrimmage all the week, most
likely. on account of a bad back,
which lie 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
nut sing very carefully and hopes to
be in condition by the end of the
week.

championship tournament here. Sutton

such announcement should have
been made is far beyond the wildest
guesses of my think-tank. 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 the
better in the number of points
scored, having rolled up a total of
162, while the Athenians have
scored but 152. The Red and Biack
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 has 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 tlte 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 the sea
son played in Georgia.
One serious accident occurred
when Henderson, a scrub player,
had his hand broken w hile 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 attaitl the pitch leached iu
last Saturday's game.

TECH SCRUB TEAM HAS
TWO GAMES SCHEDULED
The scrub team of Tech will play a
team from Fort McPherson on No
vember 23 and then play the Clemson
scrubs on Thanksgiving day at Clem
son. Both of these should be corking
good games.
The scrub team, under Coach Alex
ander, has done exceedingly good work
and the varsity's showing is but a re
flection of how the scrubs hammer them
every day.
These games will help keep the in
terest up until the season ends, when a
banquet will be given them by the fac
ulty of the school.

SAVANNAH WILL ASK
FOR VANDERBILT RACE
SAVANNAH, GA., Nov. 13.—The Sa
vannah Automobile club decided today
to make application for the 1913 Grand
Prize and Vanderbilt cup automobile
races. The latter has been staged once
on country roads near Savannah and
the former three times, with very great
success front every standpoint.
The fact that militiamen can be ob
tained who will police tlie course, will
