Puts Georgia Tech on Spot

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 9 (U. P.).—The Ramblin’ Wreck is rolling again. The “fair bunch of boys” with ‘which Coach Bill Alexander started the season, have the most impressive record to date of any team in the Southeastern conference, but ahead of Georgia Tech is a schedule loaded with dynamite. : Tech began its season by defeating Auburn, always a strong conference foe, 15 to 0, and last Saturday went to South Bend to humble heralded Notre Dame, 13 to 6. Those games uncovered two stars — Eddie Prokop, an. eagle-eyed sophomore passer, and Clint Castleberry, a freshman back who plays like & counter-part of Red Grange. On them will ride the hope of Tech fans when the Yellow Jackets meet the heavy opposition ahead—Navy, Duke, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia.

Alabama Is Threat °

Either of the three conference teams—Kentucky, Alabama or Georgia—could prove a stumbling block in Tech's path back to the gridiron glory it knew in 1928.

Alabama, headed by Russ Craft, 180-pound back, is as potent a threat as any. rimson Tide defeated Mississippi State last Saturday to hand state its first setback in the 12-school: circuit since 1939. Craft personally engineered ‘the triumph, scoring all three of touch‘down’s. Alabama’s forward wall displayed ‘plenty of power. Alabama, too, has. a rocky road ahead with five of the conference's toughest teams still on the schedule. In addition to Tech, the Tide meets Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and Vanderbilt.

Vandy Has Strength

Tennessee is the question-mark team of the: conference. They were held to a tie by South Carolina— rated as a breather—in the opening game but came back last week to blast Fordham, supposedly one of the strongest teams in the east, 40 to 14. Two teams, Vanderbilt and Louisiana State, get their first taste of conference competition this week-= end. Vandy, which showed strength in every department in defeating Purdue, 26 to 0, goes against Kentucky, which lost its’ opener to Georgia by one point.. L. S.
