Percy Whiting Says Georgia

Grudge Fight of the Season

grudg* engag- im-nts. Yon could
bring it right dot n from Napoleon’s
time to today an<l till the paper
telling about them.
But in all tie history there would
be no mon bitt-r grudge than
Tech beam for Georgi. and no

tains tot Tech. Ii Is to.- -Up

the "ifs" am! '‘and-'' of eondite.n,

Tin teams meet on the same psy
chological basis. It i- th. game
that forms tl. topmost pinnacle of
tie season. If it i- won, thy en
roll win n suer. -s. It It is lost,
the reason was a taihire. The ..the
games don't mat .r. Tech at
tempts to create th. impression
that th. game with <'lemson is a
big affair: at;d Georgia makes the
Stine stall about tie contest V. itli
Auburn. But they don’t ford any
body ami least ol a.I themselves.
Today's i,'aw- m THE GAME. flic

thing depends on tlii-.

Sizing the two team- up on tie
basis of those three points, it ai
pears that Georgia h is all the ad
vantage in strength, that Tech has
the skill cornered, and that it’s a
toss-up in the cunning department.
So the question com.-: Can 11
team with a prepondentnci of
weight beat a team with a mate
rial advantage in skill? There'
only one answer that on. Ye
If the preponderant of weight is
big enough. Surely all will admit
that a team of 200-potinders could
beat a team of lOt'-pounders.
Apparently Georgia has enough
advantage in weight and -trength
to win the game. .Rist how mm h
the advantage in weight is can't be
told. It lias been announced as
anywhere from 6 pounds to 2U.
Probably it Is nearer to the latter
figure than the former. Th. Geo
gia «<tu id is made up of big men.
Th' Tech squad is made up of lit
tle men.
On weight and strength. Georgia
* has an advantage that, if all other
things wile equa . should give the
Rod and P.laek an advantage Os 10
to 6b points.
• • •
i T is therefore up to Tech to dem-
* onßtrate enough skill to even
things up a bit. It is no reflection
on anybody to say that the Tech
team of this year is the smartest
thing of Its inches that ever was
seen in these parts. It isn’t alto
gether the coaching, by a long
ways; for this same Tech coach
has had some mighty dull teams in
his day. But this year Mr. Heis
man has had brainy, speedy, scrap
py material to work with. And ho
has developed a t- am with a "kick.”
mental and physical.
The Tech team has shown more
this year, for its ounces, than anv
of its opponent: If this team av
eraged 185 to 190 pounds, it would
win the Southern championship, or
come mighty close to it.
* • *
Hi AV much will Tech's clever
nes.. serve to offset Georgia's
strength? Certainly nobody sup
poses that Tech will b. beaten any
fit to t>o points You can't get a
bet at evens on tin continent that
Georgia will win by points. The
few who hav< risked their money
on the chance tout tin Red and
Black will win by -0 points have
kissed their coin C",, -by e.
The irev'tiling opinion is that
Georgia will win by a i-nttpli of
torn hdowns. That scents fair
enough, too.
There also seems a good hunch
Tech w ill score.

-a marvelous offense for its
t.eight. And it it might luck
through with a coupb of forward
passes, it would b> sure to tally. It
may do it without the pass.
Georgia. if It were contented with
straight line plunging, could teat
up and down the field for a couple
of touchdowns sure, just by the use
of supi rior weight. But in addition
to lim plunging ability Georgia has

Heisman for another five-year term
as instructor of every branch of
sports. Mr. Heisman had received
offers from ail over the country,
but Tech held an option on his
s uy iies, and today they exercised
it.
As a result, there is much joy in
the vicinity of Tech flats today. t\.r
Heisman has earned himself a
warm place in the heart of every
Tech man.
Is Oldest Coach in South.
Mr. Heisman is the oldest ' ollvge
coach in the South In point of serv
ice, ami also stands at the top in
det . loping athletic teams. He grad
uate.' from the University of Fenti
sylvania, where he played an eml
on the football team, also making
tile nine. Although not making an
All-American player while in col
lege, on account of his lightness,
he was one of the headiest players
in the East, and soon after gradu
ation adopted coaching as a pro
fession.
\t Oberlin college Mr. Heism .: s
teams attracted attention on a

much stronger schools of the East.
In bis litter years at. that college
defeated Ohio State, at that

Heisman was brought down from

This was in 1904, yvhen a contract

years, with an option at the end of
this period.
In these three years Mr. Heisman
turned out elevens that snowed the

a standing in Southern athletics.
In these three years Tech's grots th

largely to <'oach Heisman’s ability
