A of punishment to
WL # . tand up against
the very fine
charging and smashing of the Pitt
team, and still fight harder-—as they
undoubtedly did—in the fourth quar
ter than they did in the first
The statistics of the game show
that Pitt made but eight first downs,
while Tech made four. Naturally, the
mquiry then follows how in the world
Pitt could score five touchdowns on
onlv eight first downs. Well, that
does look like a poser, and you
would have had to see the game to
understand it. In the first place, Da
vies made two of Pitt’s touchdowns
after receiving a punt frem Tech, In
other words, when the scrimmage
gtarted in each of those cases the ball
was not Pitt's to attempt to make
first down with; yeét they Bcored
twice on Tech's play. The other three
touchdowns were made as the result
of long forward passes successfully
completed, and on which the ball was
carried for considerable distances to
touchdown after it was caught; and
as scerimmage play stops after a
toushdown is made, the scoring of the
touchdown itself is not counted a
first down or any other kind.
Outside these two “kinds of ani
mals,” Pitt. did less with Tech than
with any other team she has played
in, years. From regular or punt for
mation--that is, with a rushing at
tack—she could do practically noth
ing, as Tech piled up not olny MclLa
ren, but stopped end runs and double
passges also as they have never been
stopped on Pitt before. It amounts to
this: That Tech had the proper de
fensive set to effectually meet Pitt's
formation or rushing attack, and did
it astonishingly well, but after doing
this, the youngsters dropped the game
hecause of their inexperience in
Enowing how to watch out for for
ward pAsses and because they had
never been up against anything with
the supernatural speed of Davies in
sn open field, and so had not learned
how to tackle and halt him. Cut out
forward passing and put in Davies'
place another player of the general
average of ability of the rest of. the
Pitt players, and the two teams
might be playing vei. Even with
Davies in, if we could have had them

best of the fight when he struck Mor
rissey a foul blow in the eleventh
round, terminating the contest in
Morrissey’'s favor.
Explaining the foul later, Thomp
son said:
“Morrissey’'s friends at the ring
side became so menacing because I
was beating their man that they
threatened me with death., Rather
than go on, I decided to end the fight
by fouling Morrissey.”
Morrissey’'s next clash was with
Yankee Sullivan, in Boston, in 1853,
Sullivan had Morrissey whipped at
the end of the tenth round, but Sulli
van became involved in a free-for-all
fight immediately after that session
of fighting ended. So engrossed was
he in battling some of the Morrissey
ganugmen, that he forgot all about
the fight with Morrissey and when he
failed to answer the call for time,
the referee awarded the fight to Mor
rissey, - .
Viectory in the Thompson and Sulli
van fights caused Morrissey to set
up an immediate claim to the cham
pionship, although Tom Hyer was the
acknowledged king at that time.
Hyer challenged Morrissey, but, as
stated in my review of Hyer's career,
Morrissey backed out of the first
match—forfeiting SIOO. The men
were watched a second time, but that
contest was not staged. And, as a
result, one of the bitterest gang bat
tles in pugilistic history ensued.
Hyer refused to fight Morrissey un
der the London Prize Ring rules aft
er the men had reached the battle
ground. Hyer's reason for this was
that the Morrissey gang ou*numbered
his own, which meant that Hyer
would not get a fair deal. Hyer,
however, offered to fight Morrissey a
pistol duel, but Morrissey declined.
Some months later-—about Decem
ber, 1854--several members of the
Hyer gang clashed with an equal
number of Morrissey thugs, which
followed arguments over the non.
\ staging of the fight in October. That
started the feud. All through the
winter of 1854-1%55 there were out
breaks wherever the two factions
met, in one of the clashes Lew Ba
ker, a Morrissey man, killed Bill
Poole, a” Hyer supporter, and when
Hyer went to the assistance of his
own men, Baker and a pal named
Turner, attempted to assassinate
Hyer, the bullet just grazing his tem
ple.
The sensational incidents leading
up to the killing of Poole and what
followed the effort to kill Hyer forms
another chapter in early ring history
which T will recount at a later date.
After Hyer announced that he had
retired from the ring, Morrissey's
claim to the title was quite generally
recognized. Rut he did not rank as
the yndisputed leader very long.
John C. Heenan, “The Benecla Boy,"
had rigen to national renown as a
fighter and disputed Morrisey's clalm,

F' there is u Camp Creenleaf-Geor
l gla Tecl football game coming
Z oft it will be in the 1919 season.
There is a lot of talk about a game
between this pair going the rounds,
ut there is no foundation to it., The
only step madg toward getting the
Wo elevens together was mercly a
hallenge from Greenleaf, to which
the Tech authorities are giving litye
attention
The tootball season will come to an
end with the Thanksgiving Day game
with Auburn for two reasons l'ech's
#chedule plays out, so do the players
and Coaeh John W, Heisman is leav
ing Atlanta Thursday night, not to
return again until next year
Without Jack Heisman on the job
the Jackets would be worse than a
ship without a rudder. Heisman holds
he gang together, teaches them foot
ball and a darned lot of it, and makes
them hustle
The coach has some business to
look after in New York, where he
spent the last summer, and as the
football season officially closes on
Thanksgiving Day, and there will be
no more interest here this vear in
the gridiron sport, the wizard decided
that he would have nothing to do, so
will pack up and beat it to the large
city immediately following the Tech-
Auburn contest.
Mr. Heisman is-not in the best of
spirits since losing to Pittsburg, as
his boys failed to play the Panthers
as he instructed them, and he is ready
to call it a season. To have a chance
at the undisputed football champion
ship of the world and fail down to
defeat is enough to take the life out
of any coach, especially when it comes
right at the end of the campaign,
However, the Jackets are the
Southern champions just the same
providing they defeat Auburn—and
probably will have better luck next
year, if we can haul Pitt into the
arena with us.
