8 <®C®M ®aw GOWffl® *MW LDITLD /r W. 9 FARNS'WO'RTH Percy Whiting Says Georgia Should Win, But He Looks for Grudge Fight of the Season By Percy 11. Whiting. HE finest "spit, light of the I aennon is on this afternoon at Ponce DeLeon park. The histories of war anti sport are crammed with the accounts of grudge engagements. You could bring it right doa n 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 for Tech. It is a toss-up which hates the other the worse a-OW, when two college teams ’ meet in a grudge battle you can count on it they will play tor blood. Both elevens will give up all they have in the way of strength, speed and cunning. AU the. "ifs” and “and*** "f condition, training and such at> swept away. The teams meet m the same psy chological basis. It is the game that forms the topmost pinnacle of the season. If it is won, the sea son was a success. If it Is lost, the season was a fai.ure. The othet games don’t matter. Tech at tempts to create the impression that thi game with Clemson is a big affair; and Georgia makes the some stall about, the contest with Auburn. Hut they don't Mol any - body—and least of all themselves. Today’s game is THE GAME. The others are interesting, but • t cry. < thing depends on this. • • • \X?(TH the “if ami but ’ ellmi ’’ nated, as aforesaid. today's game narrows down to a test of ttreng h, skill and .cunning. Sizing the two te.ims up on the ImisLs of these three poitr •■. it ap pear? that Georgia has a.I the ad vantage in strength, that Tech lias the skill cornered, arid that it s a toss-up in the cunning department. So the question comes: Can a team with a preponderance of weight beat a team with a mate rial advantage in skill’.’ There’s only one 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 lias enough advantage In weight and strength to win the game. Just hotv much the advantage In weight is can't be told. It has been announced as anywhere from 6 pounds to 20. Probably ft is nearer to the latter figure than the former. The Geor gia squad Is made up of big men. The Tech squad is made up of lit tle men. Un weight and strength, Gevigia has an advantage that, if all other things were equal, should give the Rod and Black an advantage of 40 to 60 points, to* I T is therefore up to Teen to detn * onstrate 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 ills day. But this year Mr. Heis man has had brainy, speedy, scrap py- material to work with. And he has developed a team with a •'kick,'* mental and physical. The Tech t< am has shown more this year, for Its ounces, than any of its opponents. If this team av eraged 185 to 190 pounds, it would win the Southern championship, or come mighty close to it. • • * HOW much will Tech's clever ness serve to offset Georgia’s strength'* Certainly- nobody sup poses that Tech will be beaten any 40 to t>o points. You can’t get a bet at evens on the continent that Georgia will win by’ 25 points. The few who have risked their money on the chance that the Red and Black will win by 20 points have kissed their coin good-bye. The prevailing opinion is that Georgia will win by a couple of touchdowns. That seems fair enough, too. There also seems a good hunch that Tech will score. • • • J T ought to be a game of mod -1 erate scoring. The Tech eleven has a marvelous offense for its weight. And if it might luck through with a couple of forward pass's. It would be sure to tally. It may do ft without the pass. Georgia if it were contented with straight ilne plunging could teat up and down the field for a couple of touchdowns sure, just by the use of superior weight. But in addition to line plunging ability-Georgia has the most brilliant half back in the STONE MOUNTAIN AND GORDON IN BIG BATTLE s< on 1 "niy fn importance to the big 41 ,• this afternoon between Tech and •'-■"’Kia was the contest this monring .

With a combination like that, there can be nothing to it but Georgia However. Tech will give the Red and Black a battle -a tremendous battle.

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 Tech flats today, f.. : 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 in 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 i 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 w-as marked and Auburn jumped into the front ranks among the Southern colleges. Clemson college next secured Mr Heisman’s services, and reaped a harvest of athletic victories, whici they have never equaled since hi? departure. Jackets in Sore Straits. Thp Jackets were young at this time and were having the worst kind of a struggle to keep head and shoulders above the water. It was nothing but defeat for Tech year in and year out, and it did not seem as though the tide could be stemmed. It was decided to secure a first-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 Tech. This was In 1904, when a contract 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.
