GEORGIA TECH IS ONE OF BEST I. N. S. Sports Editor Praises Eleven That Beat University Os Georgia By David J. Walsh. (INS Sports Editor New York. Dec. 5. Georgia Tech Is one of the best, if not the best football team in America today. This writer, who never knows what he is talking about anyhow, might as well make tills crack as any other and in addition to that, he just can’ help himself. After he saw Tech beat Georgia on Saturday, 12-0. this un beaten and united Georgian team, he can come to no other conclusion. Hi had seen Notre Dame; he had seen the Army and both are generally un derstood to be fair aggregations, hut he had seen no blocking, he had seen no ta kling in the line until he saw Tech beat Georgia. I am afraid that we will have tc revise all our judgments after a game such as Tech played two days ago For example, we step ourselves out ind pick all-American teams and Tech

merely had a fighting chance for this • lishonorable mention for something Today. Tech can’t miss having several andidates because Tech deserves all 1 of them or both or several. Offhand I would name a certain Mr Thomason who in running for a touchdown. showed a change of pace such as they credit to Jim Thorpe. Eddie •lahan and other immortals. I swear hat if a man can do a tiling like that nice, he is good for a hundred return ■ngagements. They eitheF have ’‘it" >i they haven't and I’m afraid tha‘ Mr. Thomason is guilty, as charged. 1 also liked the way Durant, not ' an automobile, just a quarterback, ran his team. He could have made mis akes but he didn't. The two tackle! ind Crowley played football such as ! would demand if I were a head •oach, and somehow, the boys hav< been able to resist getting me up t< ind including that point. o Columbia, Mo.—When Coach Siankowsl.7 Issued a call tor candidates on Ihe cage squad so many turned out he found it ne.essary to separate the (quad into two divisions and one xroup at a time practices against the freshmen.
