and the Goldeft Tornado of Georgia xech was defeated 10 to 3. In de- Teat. Tech covered herself with prac. tlcally as mudr glory as would have been her due had the verdict been rendered the other way. and tonight the team Is being toasted by the Empire City as the pluckiest lot of riddists ever playing In Plttsburg Tonight.

Red Barren is resting from the ordeal of shouldering ncar- ly all of the Dixie burden during toe game and the boy deserves it. Entering the struirgle with a broken Jaj held together by mechanical ap- plranceii Red turned in the most brilliant performance of his cSreer and the Pittsburg fans have crowned him the gamest old Roman of them all. Panther Badly Clawed. The Panther was badly frightened. sod it will be many moons before the animal will ever' bellevl tlltit one may feast on southernerslwUh- out staging a terrible battle fir the picnic.

Duped to lose by 21 point by the score-naming experts of the smoky village. Georgia Tech tore Into the Panther. and nothing but the kindness of fate staved oft dlll- ster for the local machine. IJS The defeat of Tech was one of I those bitterly contested ones that go to make up some of the most glorious pages of collegiate football history. There was nothing dishonorable shout it.

and one need players In the world. was the state- forth analibi Tech was beaten. but she staged a battle that turned 25060 wild-eyed fans into just that many friends. Jackets Praised. They- aren't the TTeKt football waste no minutes seeking to ret flint pf one of the PitUburg seribee when the final whistle sounded the doom of the southerners but tiny are noble fighters and we all admire them.

lans of the north are not of the demonstrative type we spot at our football classics of the south hut the American regardless of his section cannot fall to spot s. and having located It that same American can do nothing but ad. mtrr it. That's why twenty-five thousand 9t them this afternoon left Forbes field filled with admiration for the fighting qualities of the pr from the south. and why that ne number share our opinion that HTechs defeat was glorious and not one for whi the men of th Golden Tornado nor their camp-followers need apologize.

i i Of ours It was hard to lose aft. w. PI' a start that swept the Panther from its ret but sadler disappointments have heirs suffered and still 5. sadder ones mleitt be In store. We cant locate definitely any one fea- turn that broke the hearts.

of the southerners who piw nixie defeated by warmer prowess. However. there were sonic things that Tech should have accomplished In a better manner. and It will be of these If thin we will tnlk before. taking UT the details and the stars of the PlttshiTrg offense that broke tttrongh the Jackets' sturdy defense.

Line Kit Hph. Tech's line especially from guard to guard. was hlttln" higher than Its any game the writer has seen- it play this season. Thlb Cutting town' methods that hav bought about the doom of team afTftem were not used against the Plinth en and the line wa. found for' jung un consistent gains.

Tech's penalties were numerous. very costly to the hopes of the iSxlp steamroller. All told. the Tornado twelve penaltls. totQlllni 85 yards.

while the Parr. tier as guilty but' three times. mocking oft only twelve yards of his gains. Tech's penalties came at Inopportune times. tlsePanther being able to recall threeVoecaslons when pu.

Flowers vas called back after hittlnsr rtrBCend for llf yards. which uafc would have placed the ball Pltts yard line. This undoubtedly heated the Jackets of toucJ1down.

as the Panther line was showing the re- suit of the Georgians' smashing attack. Its defense- was badly crumpled and when Datles was removed through Injuries. It appeared that inethlng but the grace of Jehovah uld prevent the Panther from being fought ay from the meal he was seeking. Larky Brrnkm. In the quiet are enduring ist.

It seems that Pltt- burg has the Inn slzn" on Georgia Tech slm" 9 possessing the percentage of Teaks necessary to successfully battle Tornado. TM Is the third time It has pinned defeat on the Georgians. and we cannot believe that the best team was returned the winner on this occasion.

to statistics to prove the point. we discover first that Tech burled the ends of the opposition and sw pt almost at will around th win. When these trains weretbetng made the Inter- feronce of the Tornado was perfect. th Wit men who essayed to break through were beautifully foiled In their efforts. li.

It had to come. They threatened us last year and this season they turned loose on us after Tech had played the famous Panthers off their feet and had thrown a scare into the Pitt athletic directorate that rendered theny impotent of fair action. This Is the story Athletic relations between the University of Plttsburg and the Georgia Institute of Technology were severed today by. the Pitt athletic uthorlties according to a statement tonight by a prominent member of the local schools athletic council. The break is said to be due to the discovery that three of the Georgia Tech stars had played more titan four years of varsity football allowed by the rules of all first- class colleges and specified definite- ly In the articles of agreement be- ten the two schools.

The men concerned are Fincher. tackle lowers. captain and halt tat le arid John Staton. end. The- litt athletic leader mentioned Love said last tight Leaders Statement.

Three days before yesterdays i paint. or on the day that the Geor- ita team cd in liUsuurg we disco that lincher. Flowers and had played more than tour yeors of varsity football. We sit once nt word to the teams manager that we desired IS confer. ence.

This conference was not held until Saturday morning. owingf to the failure of Georgians to come around. We met them this morning and told them that they could not use the three men mentioned. They re fused to keep them out. and said that unless they played.

the team would sot go on the field. Inasmuch Is tlrot1lan of tickets had been Bold and We not wish to dis- the patrons here. we decided to got through with thegame but to- serer relations Immediately after it as over. Game. Called Off.

This action has been taken. and Pitt will not meet Georgia Tech again in football or any other ranch' of spoft. We had trouble before over the case of Joe Guyon. whose status was not satisfactory rom the standpoint of eligibility We have no way of ascertaining the eligibility standard of Georgia Tech and have decided uot to play then again. From information gleaned re today.

It Is probable that the University of Georgia grlddersl wilt meet Jim Pitt sieves next year on he flm teturday In October. This state Otiffairs developed from a visit td Jttsburg of Professor S. V. Sanford. director of athletics at Georgia.

Professor Sanford Is here as a guest of Jimmy DeHart. Tormer Pitt halfback. These two had a confe ente with K. E. Davis graduate athletic manager at Plttr and applied for the game.

DeHart made a personal plea to arner and Davis. and it Is considered likely that Pitt can spring. BAPTISTS BLANKED UPON GRID Chattanooga. Tenn. October S3.
