eorgia Team Will Score Some But Auburn More
•*«••!«
Tech Has Work Cut Out to Beat Clemson Boys
By J. W. Heisman. -
XUBURN’S line showing against
Vanderbilt would seem to
make the result of their
game with Georgia a foregone con
clusion. And yet this is by no
means the case. It should be borne
in mind that Vanderbilt outplayed
Auburn about as much as had been
anticipated, and that only Unex
pected fumbling prevented the final
score from illustrating that fact.
Also you must not forget that
Georgia has been coming along
steadily again since she got over
her Vanderbilt backset, and it is
probable that they will put up
their best game of the season
against Auburn. When to this you
couple the fact that Auburn will
have had but five days in which to
recover from their hard game
against the Commodores and that
the game is to take place in Athens,
any one should be able to see that
things are not all over but the
shouting.
Nevertheless, Auburn should win.
Yes; there is a chance that Geor
gia will score, but I expect to see
Auburn score more.

CLEMSON VS. TECH.
a T the opening of the present
' ‘ season this game looked to be
all Clemson, for the Tigers were
making no secret of the fact that
their prospects were the brightest
they had had in years. On the
other hand, the Yellow Jackets
were complaining that their out
look was quite the punkest they
had ever had.
By mid-season, however, the dope
had veered around considerably.
This was due to the fact that Tech
had come out in away that had
surprised everybody, but nobody
quite so much as themselves. Clem
on had played several excellent
games, but she had also put up one
or two rather lame exhibitions; so
it looked as though Tech might
have had the better of the argu
men had they met at that time.
But here at the very season’s end
the situation is all clouded up
again. This is due to the fact that
Clemson defeated Mercer, while the
latter was at the very best form of
the season. In addition, it is point
ed out that Georgia defeated Tech
is heavily as she did Clemson —by
three touchdowns.
On top of these facts are the fur
ther considerations that Clemson
s in the best physical condition of
any time this year, while Tech is at
ter Worst. Against Georgia, Clem
son did not have the services of her i
great fullback, Webb, who Is much i
•he best man on their roster. But •
now Webb is all right again and
ne will undoubtedly give the light
Tech line all and more than it is
coking for.
Quite a number of Tech men
were severely bunged up in the
Georgia game, and these have by
m> means fully recovered. Injuries
that appeared right after that game
to be by no means serious have
proven stubborn and intractable,
with the result that Loeb, Colley,
Montague and McDonald are far
i: om feeling the way they should
to enter so hard a game. Remem
bering Tech's poverty in the mat
ter of good substitutes, this spells
'i reduction of about twenty per
cent in Tech’s playing strength.
On top of this we have the fur
ther fact that Tech will again be
outweighed by something like nine
pounds per man by the Tigers,
while the latter have every bit as
much speed as has Tech, both in
the line and in the back livid.
What's the answer? I hardly
know. If Tech is to win it must be
by superior team play and spirit,
and with the team in tin- physical
shape that it is the question is an
open one whether they ca'n excejl
in these respects or not: I doubt it.
Altogether it is a very hard game
to forecast. If I must pick a win
ner I should name Tech: but it
can be by but a touchdown, I
fancy, at most; with lots of prob
ability that Clemson will carry off
the big enil of the sco:e. It must
be remembered that Georgia is
Tech’s big game, and with her the
I’lemson game is an anti-climax,
while for Clemson the Tech game
is the big thing of the year. Yes,
Clemson also preens herself for the
South Carolina game, but that took
place so long ago that she has had

plenty of time to recover her mental

It is going to be an even battle,
and a splendid game of football.
Both teams have rehearsed new
plays since their last games, and as
both play the modern open game
some very pretty maneuvers are
bound to be shown.
VANDERBILT VS. SEWANEE.
r pHE Commodores are in some
what the same situation as
Auburn in regard to their all
around fitness for playing another
hard game of ball so soon as to
morrow. And yet not quite, for
Vanderbilt is sore and smarting
under the lash of that tie game
with Auburn, which one fact alone
is going to get them sufficiently
keyed without anything else being
needed in the way of a stimulus
Another item: Hardage should be
back in shape and able to get into
the game from the start. This will
enable Sikes to go back to Ills old
position, and the Vanderbilt back
field as a whole will be greatly
strengthened. *
1 do not hesitate to say, though,
that I expect Sewanee to put up
their best game of the year, and as
they have been watching the Nash
villians very closely and have de
veloped a very dependable defense
they are going to puzzle Vander
bilt many times during the after
noon as the most handy and con
venient method of making first
downs.
But when it comes to offense
Sewanee lack concentrated strength
in her attack, and she will not give
Vanderbilt much trouble in that
respect. Vanderbilt should win by
three touchdowns.
