Georgia Tech and Georgin'l'umilm Will o’ the Wisp Says Sol Metzger, Coach Heisman Uses Every . Ability of His Players— £ — By SOL_METZGER Washington and Jefferson Football Team « For the first time in the history of football the South I‘Il? come l?w its own. No matter what the allbi, no matter what the excuse, the fact will ever remain that the eleven of Tech, coached by J. 'W. Heisman, a long time ago Penn player himself, not only met and defeated Pennsylvania at Atlanta this fall but gave the Quakers the worst drubbing they ever had with but one single exception since the football sun arose in Phil- adelphia away back in 1892—the year that the Red and Blue first took the measure of the then great Princeton team, 41-0—the score that Georgia Tech ran up against Penn at Atlanta —is no fluke or no mean victory. It is such an unheralded performance that one cannot quite get his breath. There was nothing out of the usual about this victory. It was well earned and it remains a tribute to the coach and players who won it. It was sys- tem against systém and the. honors rest with Heisman ‘and Strup- per, the 19-year-old half back of 150 Coach pounds, who literally ran_ circles around the vaunted Red and Blue de- fense. That- Georgia Tech is no will o’ the wisp in football circles is quite evident when one considers its record. Last year its team, coached by Heisman, won the Southern championship on Thanksgiving day by defeating Ala- bama Poly in a rattling good game which proved beyond doubt that Southern football was high class. The victory over Penn but accented this as it will awaken the football world to the fact that all the science, brains and daring in football is not confined to a narrow strip of terri- the mnorth Atlantic sea- board. Recently J. W. Helsman, an outdoor man told me of his team winning the Southern title last year. Let me give you the story in his own words tha‘ you may- judge whether or not South- ern football is on a par with the East- ern article, whether the one-sided score run up on Penn was due to the Quakers having a very weak eleven- which seems odd when the backfleld was about the same as that which de- feated Cornell and Michigan last year —or whethker Georgia Tech is unusual- ly strong and well-coached. - Georgia Tech had to win from Ala- bama Poly last year to make good its title. The game proved to be a nip and tuck affair. At the end of the first quarter - neither team had shown any advantage. For ten minutes of the Southern Footbal line iacklers came from all directions | end masSed in front or him.. The kid veered sharply to the left and knifed his way between two coming in that direction before they .could get him. Jmmediately another Poly man ap- peared in Ris front, blocking his way; but here came one of his matchies dodgex“ 'l:zlclhlleu l):‘l. A Opp'i‘)ne‘;l'. -| sprawling helplessiy on his face. Tack- Jefferson Football Team— |15 appearcd from aii directions now and Strupper, half way to the goai hne, turned to the right and we thought he was gone. Fortunately a Tech interferer bowled over this op- ponent. “By_ this time" both teams were around him so he jumped-behind ons | of his big guards to avoid another op- ponent and in a flash, like a cat, dived through a small opening over the last second quarter it was just ks close and sawvagely fought. ~Iinslly Georsia Tech got the ball on Alabama’s 40- [line with “Babe” Taylor, the 220 man yard lifie. This .is what Heisman told | backing up Poly’s line, smothering him as he hit the sod. A from me about the next move: “This was_the opportunity we were awaiting and Lum into the game at half, tt Strupper, then 18 years old, who was playing his first year on the varsity. As a Freshman the pre- vious year he had given repeated evi- dence of his ability in open field run- ning. We immediately used a forma- tion somewhat like the punt line up and sent Strupper, with heavy inter- ference, around left end. He was easily the fastest man in the state of Georgla and his swift rush, like that the ball to touc’elown completed the scorirg.” ‘When a coach—as did Heisman iu this game—plans his attacks along lines of this Kind he is the sort of man who is bound to be successful for the good reason of the players under him. Such a coach, given material, is a dangerous opponent for any team. There remains the question of de- fense. How does Tech stack up in this important feature of the game? When it won the Southern champion- ship last vear from Alabama Poly it had a life and death struggle in the third quarter when Poly rushed the ball to its six-inch line only to be held for downs. And its defense against Penn proved well able to cope with Folwell’s short forward pass, the pass that twice upset Yale, gave Harvard the scare of its life and proved the un- doing of Pitt in 1914. And for sportsmanship tye South is among the leaders. Witness this example when Strupper made his win- ning touchdown against Alabama Poly last Thanksgiving. As he fell over the iine, tackled by big “Babe” Taylor, of Poly, the latter, game to the core, helped Strupper to his feet and said, “Kiddo, you sure do run!” “I have to Babe,” came the reply, “when you get after me.” Pretty fine spirit that for a biz game! The play Heisman planned and which was uzzd to win the Southern title last year was akin to tne Idaho “shift” o® “spread” first brought to light by the University of Idaho in the fall of 1906, much to the chagrin of all Northwestern opponents, Idaho made successful forward passes from it. “Hurry Up” Yost, of Michigan. of a greyhound, ‘carried Alabama’s - 20-yard line. “A-tackle buck brought the ball near midfield and another line play was used to rest the kid. Neither gained ground. It was third down and still twenty vards from the goal line. We had planned for just such a situation, and very cooly and deliberately Tech unfolded the one special play reserved to win the game. Morrison, our quar- terback, remembered his instructions very well. “The formation consisted in spread- ing our rush line across the fleld, each man about seven yards from his near- est comrade. Four yards back of center stood the quarter and two yards back of him the other backs in regu- lar line of three. Strupper, the man of destiny, stood at left half. “We had figured that by allowing a little time to elapse before using the play we had planned for this moment that our opponents would spread themselves apart in some loose forma- tion to oppose us. This they did. The formation had succeeded in making them draw back some of their men to guard against forward passes.

We knew if we got Strupper that far he could well shift for bimself. This duty was well performed. In fact, but one man came through so that our backfield in- terference not only took Strupper to the line but well beyond it. “Five yards beyond the scrimmage UNFINISHED RACING ON WINDSOR TRACK Monday’s Event Was Won by Fred Russell After Hard Fight.

Conflicting and shift- ing developments bearing upon intrin- values found further reflection in s the lower trend of prices. Sentiment was perceptibly encour- aged at the outset by the news that the Interstate Commerce Commission had decided to reopen the hearing of the eastern railroads for higher freight rates. Shares of that particular di- ision made carly, gains of 1 to 2 points but shaded upon renewal of pressure elsewhere. Utilities, as represented by local tractions and gas shares soon devel- cped weakness at extreme recessions of 2 to 4 points. This invited selling of more stable issues. equipments and the general group of war issues for- iting 1 to 3 point advances. it ! In the last half of the session, when t - evinced some disposition to prices received another sharp ersal under lead of Union Pacific, which’ made a net decline of 2 3-4 points to 120 1-2. Other rails moved in keeping and industrials sagged he lis ard 104 3-8, finishing at 105, a net less of the smallest fraction. Most of the other steels moved in the same narrow groove, -as did the more dis- tinctive equipments and related spe- cialties. : Metals were held back by the heav- iness of Utah Copper, but shippings indicated further accumulation, Ma- rine preferred retaining the better part of its substantial ‘advance.
