Late that campaign the Atlanta team came north to play a great University of Pittsburgh outfit at Pittsburgh. The two teams we rated as the cream of the collegiate world. Neither had been scored on. The game: was heralded as the foot ball classic the year. Well do I recall the day the battle-was played a cold, windy day with snow falling at Intervals, far from the kind pf weather the boys from the South we're accustomed to.

In the wintry blasts that bleak November day the Golden Tornado proved only a mild breeze. Pitt winning, 33. to 0, Tech was no match for such stars as Davies, Easterday and McLaren Pitt was the only team to score on the Yellowjackets that season.

1 raUcaial milting, la in a fine spot now to finish, the year as the only undefeated and untied team of the major classifi cation. Georgia Tech, with only neighborhood games remaining against Alabama Poly and Georgia and a possible post-season 'lamfeagainst Southern California, Is Indeed to a swell spot If jrou look at It with a light heart. 5 But you can -hear some football men, who speak from painful experience, say that Georgia Tech Is to a swell spot to be knocked off and they dont -stutter berfthey recite oy neart a list or reasons, Bill Alexander, the Georzia Tech coach. Is too good a football coach and too smart a man to need a warning that his ball' club should not take too much for granted. Al exander and his club, were on the giving end of one of the same kind of examples last, year in which they proved thf wisdom of the theory that a air jeamcan have one good day.

Georgia Tech wasn't so hot last year and Georgia was one of the outstanding of the year, a team that was to the same spot that Tech now occupies. Georgia went Into the game a heavy favorite and was bumped off by Georgia Tech. It Is possible that the Georgia boys ha vent forgotten this and that Tech may be the one team that Georgia' Is all loaded up for. This piece is 'not meant as a warning to Mr. Alexander and his boys.

It is merely an excuse to talk about some of the things that have happened this season when a team loaded up for one particular game. Is no doubt that there Is one game on every team's schedule that the boys want to win partic ularly. In most cases it is a tra ditional game. In other cases It. Is a game when victory would com' mand the most attention and sum mon the greatest advertising.

Take the Notre Dame-Army game this year. They are traditional ri vals and they are also princi pals in a game that commands tremendous public attention, Knute Rockne knew before the season started that he would not have a great team. He that his boys might get better with experience as the season advanced but the Army game did not come late J. Notre Dame lost to Wisconsin and Georgia Tech with, splendid humility and advanced upon the Army, reputed to be one of the greatest teams of all times. Notre Dame was loaded down for the Cadets and plastered them 13 to 6.

The Navy lacxing the traditional game with the Army to point for, started out like Jt was going nowhere to meet no one.
