ATTACK OF GEORGIA
BATTERS DOWN TEd
Georgia’s Red and Black for the
third successive year waves triumph
antly over the Yellow and White of
Tech. The Athens machine of Coach
Cunningham fair]} smashed to bits
the magnificently trained fighting force
of Coach Heisman this afternoon at
i 'ilr
I Ponce DeLeon perk by a score of 2(1-0.
(inly in the fl st quarter did Tech
show to an advantage over the Ath
enians and ttifcu the handwriting .on
the wail was so pain that ev<m the
most loyal Tech supporter could not
hope for victory.
Though in the early stages, Tech
played with a brilihau-y that fairly
, dazzled G-orgiH, it youid be seen that
I the thin Jacket line could not long
1 :vglst the terrible Jftaek of their op
i-awms. i-’igirtingT agaihst terrible
'-veighLTecifl placed GW-rgia to
F stiti'istill in the flrjst quarter.
Georgia Finally ‘
Batters "Stonewall.”
In the second quftrter the heft of the
Athenians began t(> show. The ball
was carried close to Tech’s goal, but
here the Jackets stood as gallantly as
the Old Guard at Waterloo. Three
times the might'- McWhorter was
thrown against their line. Three times
he was repulsed. On the fourth at
tempt, Tech was offside and Georgia
was given first down. The next play
crumbled the gallant defense and Geor
gia had scored a touchdown.
But Tech wasn't through fighting
even then. By a series' of brilliantly
executed trick formations the Heisman
crew took the ball to Georgia's goal
line only to lose It on a fumble by
brave little McDonald, who had done
a lion’s share of the gaining.
From that time on Tech did not have
a chance. McWhorter began to show
Ms marvelous form, while he was ably
aided in his attacks on the line by Pad
dock. Henderson, Thompson and Bow
den. frighting still, but helpless-, Tech
saw the ball carried twice more over
her line.
In the last quarter the Jackets made
repeated efforts to get away with a
forward pass and score. Their -efforts
all failed and the game ended with the
ball in Georgia's possession.
The most tremendous crowd in the
history of Georgia-Tech contests, fa
mous for crowds, poured through the
gates of Pon. e Del,eon this afternoon.
An hour before play was scheduled ti>
begin the stands had begun to fill,
while a half hour before the whistle
blew a triple line of automobiles and
carriages was drawn up on the left
field side line.
Assemblage Is Brilliant.
Atlanta has never seen a more bril
liant The gay costumes,
the beribboned cars, the weirdly dress
ed collegians, all made the sight one
worth going miles to see.
The rooting contingents were early
at work. The Georgia crowd, 500 strong,
had descended on Atlanta from Athens
early In the day, and headed by their
band marched en masse to the grand
stand right back of the first base posi
tion, about the center of the field.
Tech’s crowd came in a few minutes
later with clanging cow bells and a re
inforced band. For a half hour the
rooting contingents let yell answer
yell.
Suddenly a triumphant shout went
up from the Georgia section. The Red
and Black athletes lumbering on the
fleld and began warming up. The stands
rocked with the ovation given the Ath
enians.
Jackets Swarm on Field.
Hardly had this sound abated, before
Tech had a delirium. The Yellow Jack
ets swarmed on the fleld frojh under
the grand stand. They .seemed pig
mies In size, compared so the -gigantic
Georgians, but they went through sig
nals and punting practice with a wilj
and seemed not ’to notice their bulkier
opponents charging about the
end of the field#
That moment of breathless waiting
finally arrived when coaches and cap
tains conferred with the officials. Big
Innls Brown was announced as referee,
with Dr. Sheldon, of Sewanee, as um
pire.
Thompson, for Georgia, kicked oft
[UNAL * *
west 30 yards. The ball was returned
5. Tech, after two small gains around
end on a fumble, gave the bail to the
Red and Black.

Itlons ot' the rules. Bowden again
I bucked and again failed. McWhorter

penalty gave Georgia first down with 3
yards to go. McWhorter then hit
