By the grace of a safety secured by Tech in the middle of the first half, after repeated attempts to make a touchdown bad failed, the Blacksmiths secured a victory over the Tennessee eleven yesterday afternoon in a tame which for brilliant, nerve racking work has seldom been equaled in Atlanta. Tech had rushed the ball down the field within a few yards of Tennessee's goal. Then came the hard luck story which kept down the score repeatedly.

Three times Tedh sent men plunging through the line with the ball, hoping for the needed gain and failed to make the distance finally by a short space. Tennessee got the ball on downs and began to send runners Into the Tech line trying for first down by line bucks alone. Tech stiffened and held them for two downs. Then Bean dropped back for a punt, to send the ball out of danger. The pass was poor and precious time was lost while Tech was knocking at the Tennessee line for admission.

W. Wilson plunged through the line, catching Bean around the waist and throwing him back across the goal line Just as he tried to run the ball out Coach Helsman declared that when he reached the scene the ball was not over the line, being just 2 feet or so outside. As It was the Tech gained two points. Had the officials decided that the ball was not over and not declared a safety In all probability Tech would have rushed It over for the 2 feet needed and a touchdown would have been the result. Tech's Claim Secure.

The result of the game gives Tech a right to claim admission Into the first rank of football teams of the south. It was true that her were frequently smashed and the man with the ball nipped as If by a pair of clinchers before he ever started to run. but the fighting spirit of the Tech ho wed plainly throughout that struggle and proved the Blacksmiths able to put up a stiff fight against any team In the south. The game showed the queer things that sometimes happen in football. Up to this time it has always been supposed and stated that the Tech offense was decidedly stronger than the defense, snd those who went to see the game yesterday and knew anything of footoall expected to aee a romping match up and down the field, the advantage always favoring the side with the ball.

This romping match fall ad to materialise. For Tech offense proved stronger than Tech defense. Tennessee tried little else save bucks through the line. Her men did their very best to penetrate that line by line plunges, hoping to find a weak spot and wear out the men stationed there. They worked In vain.

That Tech line was as strong as a wall against their attacks, and while of course at times they made their downs, and at times rushed the ball tor good gains, It was seldom that these times cams together. As a general thing, after securing the ball Tennessee rushed the line for two downs, and then sent either Bean or Watkins back to pemt the oval out of danger. nose watching the game were of the opinion that Tech threw away their best asset in the game in the first half. Old football men who knew the game wondered at the way in which Tech conducted her offense. She had the wind to back her.

Every time Brown punted the ball flew off straight ahead for long gains for the gold and white. On the other hand at least three times in that first half Bean was called on for a punt and the punt tesulted in a long high 1 all going up Into th eats, probably descending within 3 or 4 yards of the spot from which it had Veea Itlcked. under sucn coixntsons were was bin one Staa of game to pisy. The panting tactics were all that could be asked; all that could be wanted. It meant a gain of at least SO or 40 yards to the punt.

Tennessee could do little with the Tech line, and so in the end would Obliged to punt But tne punting game was not started until it was too late, that Is, until Tech, driven into these tactics by the work of Tennessee team, started to punt also In the second half. The wind was not go favorable then, however, and tne gams vers not made. Tennessee's Fast Ends. One of the two possibilities mentioned in The Constitution yesterday morning was realised. The Tennessee ends show ed up awtft and strong, able to nip every play before it was under way, and playing a game which was excellent and Joe were the heroes of the contest from a Tennessee point of vijw.

But they were there, ready for every play. "With two men so swift on their feet and so ready to divine where a play is coming, so well prepared to dodge and avoid all save the man with the ball, it that Coach Crawford his not way of utlhxlng these men aa runners with the ball. It would seem that these tactics would pay at present. As It is, Tennessee is without end runs.

On the offensive Tennessee had little chance to show her strength, as she did not have the ball in her possession more than three minutes during the entire game. On the defensive she was weak and showed lack of training and little knowledge of the game. On the other hani Auburn's game was the snappiest seen rour years.
