8 GIOKM ®OW CCWBB *WW EDITED 9 VARNSWORTH 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’. | T i i .eref 'ie up to Toil to Jeiu *• qlistrute < n.iug:: skill to even things up i bit. It Is m> refl tioii on inybody to say that the Tech tram of this year is the smartest thing of Ils inches that ever was <een in tlier- parts. It Isn't alto .'•tlir-i the coaching by a long way : for this same Tech coach bus had imo mighty dull teams in his du. . Bui. tills year Mr. Heit - man lias had brainy, speedy, st nip py material to work with. And lie has developed a team with a "kick," mental and physical. The Tech tram has shown more this year, for Its ounces, than an' of its opponents. If this team :.t eraged 185 to 190 pounds. 1: would "In the Southern cliaiupionshi p, o' corte mighty close to it. jjiiW i ueh 'l l Tech's cbver ** nes s< r\ e to offset Georgia's strength'.' «'« tainly nobody sup poses that Tech " 111 be beaten any 40 to 6" points. You can't get a bet at evens on the continent Hint Georgia will win by 25 points. The few who have risked their money on the chance that tin Bed and Black will win by- 20 points have Kissed their coin good-bye The prevailing opinion Is that Georgia will win by u couple of touchdowns. That seeing fair enough, too. There also set m.« a good hum h that Tech will score. • • I T ought to b- a game of mod erate scoring. The Tech eleven has a marvelous offense for its weight. And if it might luck through with a couple of forward (■asses, it would be sure to tally, it may do it without the pass Georgia, if it were contented with straight line plunging, could teat uji and down the Held for a couple of touchdowns sure, just by the use of superior weight.

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.
