Percy Whiting Says Georgia
Should Win, But He Looks for
Grudge Fight of the Season
By Percy 11. Whiting.
rpHE finest "spit tight of the
I season is <>n this afternoon
histories of wm ami sport are
crammed with the accounts of
grudge eng. (cements. You could
bring it right ■ >'vi> from Napoleon's
time to today and fill the paper
telling about them
But in all the history there would
be no more bitter grudge than
Tech bears for Georgia and no
deeper spite than Georgia enter
tains lor Tech. It Is a toss-up
which hates the other the worse.
• <• 4 ♦
< »Y\. when two collet; teams
meet in a grudge battle you
cun count on It they will play tor
blood. Both elevens will give up
al’ they have in the way of
strength, speed and cunning. All
the "iff" and "ancV of conditioi..
training and such are swept away.
The teams meet on the same psy -
ihological ba“is. It is the game
t1..,t forms the topmost pinnacle of
the season. If it is won, the sea
son v.as a success. If it is lost,
the season was a failure. The othe
games don't matter. Tech at
tempt- t • creat< the impression
that the game with Clemson is a
big affair; and Georgia makes the
same stall about the contest with
Auburn. But they don't fool any
body—:ind least of all themselves.
T' day's gamo is THE GAME. Tin
others art Interesting, but < wry
tiling ih pends < n this.
• « •
Y»;j. I'll t;i< -if ijtd "b < mni
nated, as aforesaid, today's
game narrows down io a test of
strength, -kill and cunning.
Sizing tin- two teams up on th*
busto of there tit ' point it ap
pears that Geotgir. has all the ad
vantage In strength, that T*< h has
the skill cornered, and that It’s a
toss-up in the cunning department.
So the question comes: Cun a
••am n ith it preponderance of
weight beat a t-am with a mate
rial advantage In skill'.’ There' 1
only on# answer to that one: Yes:
If the preponderance of weight is
big enough. Surely all will admit
that a team of 200-pounders could
beat a team of 100-pounders.
Apparently Georgia has enough
advantage in weight and strength
to win the game. Just how much
the advantage in weight is can't be
told. It has been announced as
any«here from 6 ]«>t:nds to 20.
Probably it is nearer to the latter
figure than the former. Che Geor
gia squad is made up of big men.
The Tech squad is made up of lit
tle men.
On weight and strength, Georgia
li«s an advantage that. If all other
things were equal, should give the
fb d and Blm k an advantage of 4o
to Ulf poilli’.

Georgia will win by 25 points. The

on the chance that tin Bed and

Kissed their coin good-bye
The prevailing opinion Is that
Georgia will win by u couple of

HORSE GUARDS DEFEAT
MARIS! RIFLES TEAM
j The last half of the 60 series in the
Fifth Regiment Basketball league was
played last night, and also a post
poned game.
The Marist Rifles sustained an ex
pected defeat by a somewhat larger
score than was anticipated at the handg
of the Horse Guard. The Marist team
was simply outclassed, though the en
tire team put up a stiff fight. A large
number of fouls were called, about
equally divided between the two teams.
Marlst’s points were scored as follows:
Taylor. 4; G. Williams. 6, and Harrison,
2. Hudson refereed and Weaver um
pired the game.
The Fulton Fusilliers were defeated
for the second time this week, the At
lanta Grays easily winning by the
large score of 49 to 10. The Grays
scored 30 points in tile first half and
29 in the last. The Fustlliers looped 4
points in the first and 6 in the last
stanza. Mauck came near establishing
a record at shooting field goals, shoot
ing a total of 17 during the game. The
team work of the Grays was the fea
ture of the game. Green again won
i honors for the Fustlliers, playing a very
fast game, and scoring 6 of the 10
j points.

Dear Sirs: This department is send
ing the following letter to wardens in

the deer season October 1. wood duck
season December 1, and so on: there
fore you are advised not to prosecute

My ruling Is that the partridge sea
son opens on the 20th, the morning of
the 20th day. of November, and that it
closes with the month of February: that
it will be unlawful to shoot partridges

DREYFUSS WON'T ALLOW

PITTSBURG, Nov. 16. Barney
Dreyfnss has refused to allow Wagner,

of the Pittsburg club explains bis at
titude in the following words:
"Barnstorming under reasonable con
ditions is all right, but there is a limit.
An athlete who is acclimated to the
temperate zone should not go into the
tropics and play- ball. In Cuba a man
is liable to contract malaria or other
fevers that one does not know in the
temperate zone.”

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
BIC JOI AT TECH.
FOR HEISMAN
HAS SIGNED
That Tech authorities Intend
to see to it that the students
of the local college are well
represented on the athletic fields
was assured when they signed J. w.
Heisman for another five-year term
as instructor of every branch of
sports. Mr. Heisman had received
offers from all over the country,
but Tech held an option on his
services, and today they’ exercised
it.
As a result, there is much joy In
the vicinity of Teen flats today, for
Heisman has earned himself a
warm place in the heart of every
Tech man.
Is Oldest Coach in South.
Mr. Heisman is the oldest college
coach in the South in point of serv
ice, and also stands at the top in
developing athletic teams. He grad
uated from the University’ of Penn
sylvania, where he played an end
on the football team, also making
the 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.
At Oberlin college Mr. Heisman's
teams attracted attention on ac
count of their showing against the
• much stronger schools of the East.
In his latter years at that college
he defeated Ohio State, at that
time one of the most feared elevens
in the country.
Realizing the ability of Heisman.
Auburn got busy and persuaded
him to come South. His success
at the Alabama school was marked
and Auburn jumped into the fronl
ranks among the, Southern colleges.
Clemson college next secured Air
Heisman's services, and reaped a
harvest of athletic victories, which
they have never equaled since his
i departure.
Jackets in Sore Straits.
The Jackets were young at thb
i time and were having the worsl
kind of a struggle to keep head and
shoulders above the water. It was
nothing but defeat for Tech year
in and y’ear out, and it did not seem
as though the tide could be
stemmed. It was decided to secure
a flrst-class coach who could bring
the Jackets out of the wilderness
Heisman was brought down from
Clemson and put at the helm in
full charge of athletics at Tee':.
This was in 1904, when a contrae'
was signed with him for three
years, with an option at the end of
this period.
In these three years Mr. Heisman
turned out elevens that snowed the
Jackets’ rivals under and gave Tech
a standing in Southern athletics.
In these three years Tech’s growth
was remarkable, and it was due
largely to Coach Heisman’s ability
in putting an eleven on Southern
gridirons that advertised Georgia
Tech as an institution of the high
est rank.
CY SEYMOUR GOES TO

MILWAUKEE, WIS., Nov. 16.—J.

NEGRO ELEVENS TO MEET
AT PONCY NEXT SATURDAY
Georgia Tech has no game in v
lanta on Saturday, November 23. an
on that day Ponce DeLeon park will b
given over to a game between two o'
the strongest negro elevens tn the South
—Tuskegee and Atlanta Baptist col
lege.
The Atlanta college until last
year held the Southern championship
for several y-ears. In 1911 the local
team defeated Fisk 6 to 0. Tuskegee
diil not play- Fisk, but defeated tl iO
Atlanta Baptists by the narrow mar
gin of two field goals. Dope, therefor>
assigned the title for 1911 to Tuskegee.
