OLDINfi HflRVflRD Tech Smashes Machine With Old Fury Alexander's Warriors At Last Get Under Way and Cut Loose With Brilliant and Varied' Attack Barron Is Bright Star of Victory. BY FUZZY WOODRUFF. The Tornado was terrible yesterday. The score Georgia Tech G9 Formaii 0 gives a faint glimmering of Just how terrible It was. For remember Billy Laval's Purple Hurricane is a football team.

But no figures can tell and no pen can carve words to picture the relentless fury with which Tech athletes ripped the gallant South Carolinians. to pieces. They were not beaten by preponderance of power in the line. They were beaten by brilliance in the backfield. They were not hammered helpless and then slowly slaughtered by line plunges of from three to five yards.

They were beaten by an attack that came when the team was fresh an attack that bewildered them by its elements of surprise. It is true that. the full destructive force of the Tornado was made apparent after Furman was all In. tad substituted the little fellows that make up its second string. and permitted the Tornado absolutely to run wild.

But before the Fur- man team collapsed Tech had showed that It could buck its line. or run its ends or befuddle it with trick plays practically as it wished to. Lets Compare Georgia Score. The greatest football crowd of the season saw the struggle and that great crowd poured out. not because it was expecting to see any particularly thrilling football but because Furman had played the University of Georgia the week bead the Tech game offered some sort of a basis for comparison.

I know that making any comparison will never win me art aj polotment In the diplomatic corps. As Dogherry said comparisons are odorous. but seems to me that the showing that Tech made against Furman and the showing that Georgia made against the Hurricane carry the real Interest of that game of yesterday. Lets compare. Tech's score was 690.

Georgia's sore was 7. All right the slm- I pie mathematics of the scores makes Tech easily twice as formidable as Georgia which shows exactly how HJch jriathematlcs are worth under football conditions. Furman' scored a touchdown against Georgia. It scored none against Tech. Again Tech seems to hold the balance of power by great margin.

Frankly and candidly I believe under any conditions Tech's offensive Is decidedly strong- than Georgia. Barron would make any football team stand out In Jflnp relief as an attacking force. with Harlan. Tech has an aggressive power that can be eualied by mighty few teams in this country. Tech shows more variety of attack and more cohesion in play than did the Red and Black last Saturday.

On the other hand. I believe that Georgia's defense right now Is bet- ter than Tech's despite the fact that urman scored on Georgia and did not on Tech. When Furman crossed the Red' and Black goal line. it was made possible by a long forward but never did Furman come anywhere near to making first down on Georgia by rushing the ball. Furman made lots of first downs on Tech.

ten to be exact. That's a lot of yardage. Two of these first downs were made on forward pass- n. Some of the others were made with the assistance of penalties. but urman also gained' with some consistency through Tech's line and two or three times ran Tech's ends for substantial gains.

It did no such thing Lgainst Georgia. Furmans Edge Lost at Georgia. Again Furman had worked right up to the Georgia game. Few football teams can hold their- edge over a week. No football team can hold its edge after it had been given the severe physical drubbing that Georgia gave the Purple Hurricane.

That might account for some of Tech's preponderance of points. rf Once more. Georgia's attack ig.es- 7i sentlallr and basically different from that of the Tornado. Georgia depends on the smashing of Its line to batter down an opponent The method If reasonably sure but just as certainly. It Is dreadfully slow.

Tecfcs attack la built around the Brilliance of Unrron. Such an attack results In long gains end frequent scores. Some more points snag be accounted for. But when you get right down to brass tacks. I don't see how anything more could have been reason- tly expected of Oetrgla In Us Put- man battle.

I am more than certain that noth- tng' could be asked of Tech more titan it achieved yesterday. There's Jionor enough for all. as Admjral Sampson remarked. Tornado Blowing In Its Full Fury. There is no question about the fact that the Tornado has at last arrived at something like the form la which Coach Alexander has been pointing It all season.

Captain Harlan was given the ball. His form hurled forward. He had gained nine yards on a straight buck. He showed all his old drive. an the quickness in darting through the openings that has made him a peer among the fullbacks of the south since his days at Tech High school.

Another first down brought the ball within Furraans yard zone. Where do they get that Purpl" Hurricane stuff someone asked. It did peera like Tech would be able to parade up and down the field. Furman proceeded to demonstrate. Furman Rallies At Goal Line.

It showed people that Tech had no Wake. Forest no Os-Iethorpe. and no Davidson opposing It. On the first play McDonough was thrown for yard loss. Ferst tried.

Again the ban was brought to Furmansyard line. McDonough as thrown for a loss. The stands expected to see Furman repeat Its back to the. wall stand. A play was called.

Th ball was snapped to Mcnonough. He started and the Furman team started with him. Heshlfted it to Barron. and the Furman team took a new direction. Red handed It to Ferst and Frank trqtted away to a touchdown.

The1 Furman warn was caught flatfooted. It could do nothing but stand and stare. Never has a triple pass been worked with the smoothness that attend- sd that first triple of yesterday. There were more passes of a like nature made during the game. Pretty largely the result was the same.

But that first passing brought the crowd to. its feet in a frenzy of en thusiasm. It was perfectly timed. It was perfectly executed. It showed that at last the Golden Tornado had arrived.

Furman turned right around and furnished a thrill. Tech kicked off and Furman started the ball In play at its own yard line. Tech was penalized for offside on the first play. Chewning rammed cot 3 yards. Dempsey went outside of tackle for 4 more.

Whatell people began to ask. They were not accustomed to seeing the Golden Tornado treated in this cavalier fashion twice in succession. There were more suprlses In store. Furman had a double pass with Rhame. Its splendid halfback carrying the ball.

He carried It yards. hut right there the Hurricane subsided iA few more plays and Furman was compelled to punt. Tech evidently wasn't satisfied that It knew enough of Furmans offensive. The Tech players had heard a lot about Furmans forward passing. They hadn't seen any of it yet.

Hurricane Opens Up With Overhead Game. It came quickly enough. On the first play. McManaway hurled the ban 30 yards to Nelson. and again the stand shouted as the Kurman eligible swung- to the spheroid.

Then came the star play of the day. After a pair of playr. Furman was compelled to punt. Red Barron seised the ball and. started for the Purple goal.

His Interferers were absent. He dashed to the left of the field leaving half of Furman in his wake. Jut as he was about to go oVit of bounds he ran to the right. The rest of the Furncanltea were left strewn all over the field. lip rap across the goal line amid-a a thunder' of applause.

But on the field. obdurate. stood Rip Majors. th retiree. The head linesman had caught Tech offside.

The penalty was apparent but It seemed mighty tough that Red had wasted nil that energy and brilliance. Georgia kicked off and Furman again made- a tint. down before the i period ended. In the next period Furman tried an extremely long pass and for a second It seemed that Tech. goal line would be crossed.

Harlan. however came from nowhere and broke It up. Let It here be recorded that the work of Judy on the defense was one of th bright particular features of- a particularly bright Tech game. That marked the be ginning of the end. Furmans de tense right here began to crumble.

Frank Ferst took the ball and went yards all by himself. and I recall two successive bucks on which Harlan carried the ban 25 yards. McDonough finally scored the touchdown. From that time on the game wal pretty much of a repetition. An' other' touchdown was added In the oeriod.

but as the whistle blew for the end of the half all of us who went out to see competitive foot. ball. knew that the competition was all over. lrman Team. a Point of Collapse.

Van Tech Team At Last Playing Ball BY. JOHN STATON' Real- Strength Strikes Furman It has been said that the Golden Tornado of 1921 Is no match- for that wonderful eleven of 1920. Up until the Furman game it was true. For the first three games Tech looked poor in comparison wi previous victories. The team as a whole liked that something.

And it was only the fundamentals of football that carried it through to three victories. But yesterday we acquired that something. The plays were- the same as ever. and the defense too. But there was a spirit infused in the playing today.

the spirit of brotherly love. The spirit for fighting for a common cause. Tech played as one yesterday and not as eleven individually. They have caught the true spirit of football play for each other and the school. The game was by far the most Interesting and spectacular that we have seen this year.

A large-crowd came out. to see Tech beat Furman' There were quite a few out tp see Furman hold Tech to- a lower score than University' ot Georgia. Unfortunately these people were- disappointed. The score does not -indicate the true situation. It is true that 69 points were scored.

but when. you take into consideration the work of Furman in the first Quarter. the score does not assume a disgraceful aspect. Played Standstill. In the first quarter Furman played Tech to a standstill.

With the exception of the absolute dumbness on thetriple pass they were ever on the alert. Let me speak just a word about this play that went for a touchdown. To begin with Jack McDonough called the ply Just at the right moment. We had been bucking the' ball at will and the Furman line was drawn In. close to prevent being ripped to pieces.

And then came the utter surprise. With their ends sucked In and their up struck dumb Frank Ferst carried the ball over for the first touchdown without being touched. The timing was perfect. Thump. thump.

thump in perfect rhythmic order. then a touchdown. The work of the- triple pass yesterday proved beyond the shadow of a doubt its effectiveness as a surprise play. The double pass also worked well. But to go on with the tint quarter Furman made two first downs from straight football and Incidentally had the honor of being the first team to make a first down against Tech this season.

They were fighting and scrapping in that first quarter. and every Inch that was gained for us was by hard work. It was give and take. For theta to gain they had to sweat. For us it was equally as hard.

Hence their two first downs were well deserved. In all Furman made a total of ten first downs. but more about that later. In the second period the pace began to tell. The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak.

Tech scored three touchdowns In this' period and this was the beginning of the end. Furman made three first downs in this period. The Play for this quarter was characterized by an Increase charge on the part of Tech and the little let. ting- down on the part of Furmtn. Teak Often Peslied Strange as it may seem Furman made five first downs In the see ond half.

In spite of the fact that Tech was penalized. To tusks ne touchdown from the ylrd line we had to gala exactly fifty yards due to successive penalties. The second half assumed- more of a nature of a track meet than anything else. For some reason or oth- Furman ran In her so-called scrub' team during the second half. This team corresponds to the second varsity at Tech.

This was probably due to the fact that Furman plays Clemson next Saturday. As Clemson is her biggest game. the coaches probably thought' that to save the varsity as much as possible. The second team of Furmans scrapped hard. but was in no position to cope with our pint backfield.

If memory serves me well. 32 points were scored in the third quarter. The fourth quarter was more' of a kicking duel than anything else. Both teams were fagged to the gills were very anxious and willing for the othpr team to put out the. work.

Tech didn't mind putting out the work so Farnsworth and Brewster took the ball across. It is sad but true. We scored one more touchdown against Furman than against Davidson. Furman's goal line being crossed eleven times. This is an Illustration of te Importance that the goal after touchdowns posses.

We made Onty 69 points against Furman and 70 against Davidson. yet Davidson was only humiliated to the count of ten. Allthe goal kickers for Tech went to pieces simultaneously. There was not a man on the field that could put the ball through. Out of eleven chances only three were sue- cesUul.

This must he improved be tote we hit the other teams for- we will need every- point that we can garner. Drewaters BrllHaat Work. As. I look back over that game I have a. vision of a small dark-haired youth running wild.

That boy Is named Brewster. and It used to be said about him that he couldn't hold the ball. But brother. let me ten you something. He held on' to that old apple yesterday and showed more speed ana more real class than we have seen In some time.

He made four touchdowns two of them after" beautiful runs through the entire field. Jimmy is a won. tfcr and certainly deserves a gre Usl of praise for the magnificent way- that he played Saturday. The story of the football game would not be complete without mentioning the work of Barron and Harlan on the defense. And old Dad Amls and Dummy LeU.

played real football toetty. They were an Inspiration. Both' gave wonderful examples of that thing called grit. From such men are moulded championship elevens. Old Judy let himself go today and came up to meet the Furman backs with a crash.

lie jarred more than one FurmlOt mans ancestors by his sharp clean tackling. When he hit them they backed up and sat down. A referees decision deprived Red Barton of a beautiful touchdown. Single-handed and unaided he ran through the whole Furman team by one of the. prettiest exhibitions of broken field running that we have ever seen.

Tack Motionough handled the team like an old marster. He was on his- toes at all times and never an opportunity pass Furman played a nice game an the way round. Their pats- work was especially good. They worked two mighty pretty ones. One went for thirty and the other for twenty i yards.

Furman had A double pass that was" Very successful too. They gained mot of their ground by th use of these two. plays. They art decidedly the best team that we have wet this" year all the way through. They deserve a whole lot of credit.

They have made friends in Atlanta. friends who want to se them play here year. Old War Horse Rhanie Was about the best they had to offer. He has. played college football or four years now and never- bad a minute' time i taken.

BY CLIFF WHEATLEY. Cambridge Mass. October 15. Special As the Georgia Bulldogs and the Harvard Crimson filed out of the historic stadium here this afternoon fifteen thousand spectators held their seats waiting to pay tribute to the victor In the gridiron struggle thathad Just been brought to a close. A yell for Harvard was the cry from the Crimsoncheer leaders and the sons of John Harvardresponded A yell for Georgia was the answering challenge from- the- thin little band of followers that had grimly waved thelrred and- black banners and the resulting occurrence was something new in the an' pals of the game in this Twenty-five thousand fans paid tribute not to the victors but to the vanquished.

Georgia was defeated 10 to' 7 by the Harvard Crimson tout the glory of the victory was not to go to the players that triumphed. Boston fans paid their tribute to the players that had drifted in for the slaughter unheralded. unsung and pitied out who. forced the Crimson machine to use Its every trick and wish for more who' violated the sanctity of the Harvard goal lint by daring to cross it. and finally to the southern team that came up to justify football in the south and who succeeded better than arty Dixie team that.

minutes of play fave them their touchdown and a ropklck In the second quarter by Pfaffman provided the necessary margin. Georgia's marker resulted from scrimmage a forward pass that followed a double past Collings to J. Reynolds to Hartley in the. last quarter. I have not comethis far to offer any alibi for the Georgia football team.

If I thought that. one was needed or if Harvard had made a foot race of the struggle. there might be some excuse and one In all probability would be given. But the result of the battle Is much better. than' any of us deep down In our hearts had figured.

It is difficult to estimate Just how much stage iVght and nervousness at the start affected the score. Georgia's defeat. as the final re- sultshows would have been a Georgia victory had Bradford not come. through and blocked that kick. But he was there for that purpose and no effort is going to be made here to tell how he could have been kept out or' to assert that he sun- ceeded in his task because the gods were with hint.

Georgia was nervous. very much so. when the cruel break was ac eompiished. Any other team. striving against what were unquestionably big odds fared with the prob.

lems that confronted Georgia would have been in the same fix. Randall nervously handling the ball. was slow but getting It oil' with the result that the ball went hurtling back toward the Georgia goal.

Getting the ball In th center of the field.

Harvard started a march that brought the pigskin to first down op Georgia's yard line. It was time for the Bulldog to tally ani he did it. One yard. the Crimson went on the first plunge. The second carried it to the yard ne and th third netted two.

Standing on her yard line it was distinctly up to Georgia. The fact that the Bulldogs held was the turning point. Georgia's touchdown. came in the final Quarter. when about halt of the period had been played.

After all. nothing but the close score to which the Crimson was held Is surprising. A Harvard player's toe brought the' Bostonian. safely through un as it has done In previous years and just as win be done as long as such' men as BuU. Brlckter.

Pfaffman. and otn- ers continue to matriculate- here. Georgia stopped every other feature of the Harvard attack. Pass- lag system was useless before the Georgia defense. Harvard slated to I drive harmlessly at the Red and Black line was even unable to ac compUlb as much as had been ex peeled.

Uarvardsvartety of. pay was lit' tie more than Georgia's. The truth of the matter is that Harvard was afraid to cut Fewer men wers used against. Georgia than In any pm. this season which Is sizeable compliment- for the southerners.

It was told by Boston newspaper. men that Harvard had expected to use some new and plays against Georgia and they- would probably have been uncorked after the second touchdown. had- not the Athenians held In the first quarte on their yard line. From that Urns. pn.

Spirit Rises To Occasion. Georgia was already 7 points to the' bad and a sustained attack had carried the ball from the middle of. the field to Georgia's- yard line. Nothing but the putting Into execution of every ounce of. their defensive strength would prevent a second touchdown against the Boll- uogs.

Faced with disaster they responded to the plea for an Sf1 penetrable defense and. the Ball went over. Georgia had held' and was saved. v' Colllngs went in to do the puntinjr and it was tire beet move toad. the Georgia coaches during the.

The only- disappointing feature or' the Georgia offense wasth failure of the backs to follow the hole that were opened for them by their forwards In the second half. John Fletcher who incidentally- was th only ground gainer for the- Atheni. ans In the first half and who kept up the good work- as long as he stayed In the game' should.

have added many more yards' than are placed to' his credit. He did his- gaining by sheer plunging hitting a mats of up players and ripping off a few yards through nothing but the power be hind his Had John looked' either to the or to th right of him in his efforts he would probably hav found holes that would have easily accommodated him. Linesmen Did Work Nobly. Georgia linesmen were getting the Harvard forwards out of the way end doing it in beautiful form but Red and Black ground gainers declined to snap up the' opportunities that were thrown in their path. Few of the' sweeping end.

runs that one expects from a scoring ma' chine that shown evidence of having come' from were attempt. ed by Georgia. I doubt seriously It they would have succeeded despite the efficiency of the interference displayed by the Athenians. The backs were cutting In too quick leaving the interference In attempt to shift for themselves n- tlrely too soon and Harvard soon began to take advantage of the sit- i uatlon. The Crimson would let the Georgia pathfinders go.

merrily- on their way. but rarely neglecting to nail the Bulldog carrier as he ip-- prosebed the line of Until the advent of Dave Colllngs. and. for. a while until I became accustomed to- his surroundings.

Georgia's efforts to compete with Harvard were In- vain. Pitts. who. does the work for the Crimson is a wonder at It but his successors Were no better and no more accurate than was Dave la- the final half It ha been expected that lIar. yards superiority In this depart.

mnt would be the explanation or whatever defeat that Georgia suffered. It seemed to be a mistake that Dave' was not used at the- start. The fact that- Harvard has the greatest set of. kickers in the coun try was not unknown in the south the fact that Fltts is one of th best distance getters with his- foot in the' business is fairly known in the south. Therefore It would seen that Georgia's best chances ot with them In' kicks would have been In putting her best bets.

Into harness. 1 am not' rein to border on sJlblng' too closely to assert that bad- luck lost th game for Georgia. There is no team in the south that has won more games through blocked punts than has I doj believe that' Harvard would have spoiled the Sled and Blacks first effort. lit the booting end.
