Tech's Gordon Eleven Winner few Upsets In Dope DEDICATION OF CAMP GORDON'S ATHLETIC FIELD LAST WEEK 1 If Scene of the dedication of Camp Gordon's athletic field last Wednesday just as the Oglethorpe and Camp Gordon elevens lined up for their football game. This field is one of several that wm probably be erected. The idea is Brigadier General Erwin's whose initiativeness has made' him one of the most popular officers at the cantonment. I Golden Tornado Is Best Eleven In the Country Perms Showing Against Pittsburg Saturday Proves That Tech Has Greatest Team of the Year. DT Dick Jrmlson.

Georgia Tech's Golden Tornado is the best football team In America. Coach Bob Folwell. of Pennsylvania. gave the Tech team this praise shortly after the Jackets had run shod over his eleven in a game here a couple of Weeks ago. He stated then that he believed the Jackets could defeat anything In the country with the pos bible exception of Pittsburg.

Pennsylvania a played Plttsburg almost to a standstill Saturday Glenn 'Warners eleven being ucky to win by a If to 6 count. Comparing ch a 41 to- 0 victory over Penn. the scores certainly indicate Tech superiority over the Plttsburg team. Comparative scores prove little. however but we are not basing our statement thi8 alone.

This is just an added Mjrument to our contention. Comparing Them. We don't believe Pittsburg can show any linesmen the superior of Phillips. Yincher. Carpenter and Bell.

and we are positive that they have no Strup- er while Guy on and Hill can compare favorably with anything they can show even the great McLaren. Jack Brooks. assistant Tech coach. saw Ptttsburg play Syracuse a week ago and he is emphatic in his statement that Tech could beat Pittsburg any time they should happen to hook up. Football students and of late years there are quite a few of them in this city are of the firm opinion that the 1917 Tech team is the best team the south has ever seen.

and as good as any team the country has seen in many years. comparing with the best of the at and west for several seasons. Tee.k Game. The Tech game would be a great battle. We printed the report of a rumor that the teams were to play.

This was denied by the Tech authorities trot this does not prevent us from conjecture over the outcome if such a game was arranged. This rumor will not down either despite all denials. Br The rumor carries with it a little more dope as It came to us late last night. Our informant went on to say that a prominent local business man. and- a big football fan.

was trying- to get the consent of the Tech authorities for the game to be played In New York at the Polo Grounds. If granted. this tan. It is said. has arrangements practically completed for the chartering of a special train to take the Tech team and its supporters to New York for the game.

Such a game would be a big advertisement for Atlanta. for Tech and for southern football. and if It reaches a really definite stage we hope that the Tech authorities will permit the. trip. Its a cue of striking while the iron Is hot.

Tech has put southern football on the map already. but by playing and defeating Ptltsburg. the class of football played in the south would no longer sneered at. Also. an opportunity for sending as strong a team to the east again my never develop.

By Dick Jemlcon. Jogger Elcocks Camp Gordon eleven defeated Joe Thompsons 1l0th infantry eleven from Camp Hancock yesterday afternoon at Grant field for the army championship of the southeastern department by the score of 2 to 0 The- superiority of the south ern stars who composed the Camp Gordon team. over the ox-all-eastern stats who comprised the Camp Hancock grid crew was marked and only at short stages during the game did the easterners show that they were anywhere near the equal of the local eleven. The local contingent scored their first touchdown in the first quarter. and for the second and third quarters tho battling was fierce and even.

In the fourth quarter the Camp Gordon boys seemed to get their second wind and ploughed through. the Hancock line for tremendous gains registering three touchdowns. In the summary we relate a few of the up changes that we made. hut in the final quarter Coach Klcock gave about ten more men chances to get into the game. the changes happening so fast that they were hard to keep up with.

Kid Speeds It Up. In the first three quarters the Camp Gordon team did not make much ad way. and the 7 to 0 score was abo the relative strenzth of the two ams and this seemed to be about the way the score would end. But towards the end of the third quarter Coach Elcock xent Kid ood- ruff Into the game and the former Red and Black field general took hold of the Camp Gordon team and got it to play some real football. He speeded the entire play and the wav they shot through the Hancock line.

Commodores Meet Golden Tornado Here' Saturday Teams Resume- Relations After Seven Years' Lapse. The. Jackets Have Never Beaten Vanderbilt Eleven. DT Hal After a lapse of seven years Vanderbilt and Tech will resume relations on the football field Saturday- when Coach RoGugin will lead the Commodores against Coach Reismuil Justly celebrated Golden Tornado.

Vander- bUt has always held an enviable reputation among southern teams for turn. Ing out great elevens while in the past few years the Yellow Jackets have advanced at such a rate as not only to startle the southland but also the re malnlng parts of the compass. Including theeirete east. The clans of MCugin and Helsman have clashed on three occasions on the football field and three times the Ten-- neUeans have succeeded In taking home the remains of the Yellow Jacket hive. None of the games were even close Vandy being so overwhelmingly powerful that the result was never in.

doubt. Previous Sleeting The first time Tech and Vandy clashed was back In the dim ages when the southern championship was automat- I ically awarded 40 the Nashville team before the first game" of the season was played. In other words. in the days of the Blakes. Browns and other equally famous stars that have gone tlown in southern football history.

as wonders. The score of the initial meeting showed Vanderbilt on the long end of a to 6 count. The two teams hooVJM up again in 1906. the year that YJFugln produced what many think tn greatest team- that has' ever been molded In the south. It is to to say that Vandy again swamped the locals the.

score. fcelnr 54 to 0 The last time Saturdays opponents root was seven years ago when the Tennesseans again shattered Hetsman' team by a score of :3 to. 0 A few weeks previous to the meeting- Vandy' had played Yale a 0-0 tie and Tech's hopes. were soaring high at the end of the first half. when' neither' tem lad yet stored.

Ray Morrison broke loose in the second halt. however. and again Tech was beaten. Auburn on Cre t. The two years following the 23 to 0 defeat of Tech- by Vandy.

the Commodores Produced. two more wonderful machines. However. In 1912. after a lapse of some years Vandy ran afoul of.

the Auburn Plainsmen in Birxning. ham and were held to a 7 to 7 tie. after all the dope had pointed to a Vanderbilt victory. This game marked the turning point In the fortunes of Vanderbilt and the ascension of a new power to the throne of monarch of the football field In the south in the shape of Mike Donahues Plainsmen who held sway until dethroned by Tech. Since the tie game with Auburn.

Vanderbllts glory has faded rapidly. this not" being due entirely to weak teamS but to the great improvement in the game among other southern colleges So It Is seen that Tech has quite a few old scores to settle with Vandy Saturday and the chances are very favorable that they will be settled to the fullest extent. Vsndy is coming with an Inexperienced team. while Tech Is represented by not only the best team In the south but by possibly the best team' on the football map today. I So overwhelmingly does the dope point to a Tech victory by a.

large score that it is almost useless to. compare the records of the two teams this season. Tech's great showing against Pennsylvania and' Washington and Lee shows the. strength of the locals' at tack. while Vanderbilt's showing against Chicago and.

Kentucky state. who was beaten orssp 5 to 0 was as weak us Tech's Is stt6bg. I The Sc ref The question arising In the football fans mind Is not whether Tech will win. but whether or not the Golden. Tornado will be able to better Chicago's 48 points against McGugins Tech has already shown Its superiority over the game as played In the east by the decisive triumph over Penn.

and it Is believed that lleisrnan wilt endeavor not to let his team surer In comparison with western football by not bettering the Chicago score. It was thought atone time Ui Tech had an off day yesterday SsBF tti Golden Tornado would to whfLT at Its best against. the Commodores but It now appears that such will not be the ease. In Fridays scrimmage. Pup Phillips received a twisted knee necessitating the' use of crutches when he.

gets around. It is very doubtful It he wilt round to In time for Vandy. On Friday also. Albert Rill bursted open the injury to his shoulder that was wen on the way to recovery. He' will not be able to do any scrimmage work tnis week and he also- may be lost to the- team in this weeks game.

While the loss of these two tar. will cripple Tech considerably there Is. some consolation In the fact that per. after a weeks visit to his home gr has returned with his ankle in good trim. lie played only a little over a quarter against the Generals wt week and.

with a weeks workout to able to give the Vanderbilt team pUrtty of trouble. i1 Piedmont 19 Riversitkfs Deraorest Ga. October 17. 3 Riverside was defeated today by tnon II to 0. fiVol T.
