PAGE TEN THE CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1 936. Jackets Are Favored Tech, Qeorgia Renew Rivalry Today; rr test- rr ppy I Sp A 5 feg I Out of the past they come marching out of almost half century of years they come The old stories and the old heroes as Tech and Georgia meet again at Athens after 20 ears. There are some mighty stories of the past. And while one may speak carelesslv of most things, one may not speak carelessly of the footbafl wars of the Red and Black and the Gold and White. Just the other day a sentence which said the Jackets ot Georgia ech had never won at Sanford field, failed to specify that bv Sanford field was meant the beautiful new stadium dedicated "in 1929.

And the letters came. And one of them will do to begin this story of the Georgia-Georgia Tech game. Somehow it catches the spirit in it one of the old heroes appears and it is just one of a thousand stories that could be told to make this game a great spectacle one filled with honor and courage and a great tradition on each side. From Macon. Charles Bloch wrote: "I am afraid some of the old-limers will call you on the carpet.

"In 1916, just 20 years ago, Tech beat Georgia, 21 to 0, as I recall the score, on Sanford field. It was the first and last time they ever played on that field. "I well recall I attended that game with J. N. Neal for whom the American Legion post here is named and who was killed at St.

Mihiel in September of 1918. The outstanding star of the game was Tommy Spence, of the Tech team, who also lost his life in the war. "I sincerely hope that history does not repeat itself after 20 years." That is just one of the stories, livery eager alumnus can tell von more of them of the old battles and the old days when thev were vnimger and the game was younger and the old Spartan ideal was the same to come with one's shield or on it. ech and Georgia there is no bitterness there now. But there is a migiitv rivalr.

and we all must have causes and we all better because of a bit of ribbon to wear and a team on the field to cheer. PICARD LEADER AUBURN MEETS 20,000 Fans To See Tech-Georgia Sidelights IN OPEN TOURNEY Tech -Georgia Game FLORIDA TODAY Eisht jackets' Nine uiids Ust clash Between THE LAST DAY. Yesterdav was the last day At the old Tech Hits the coaches stood about and watched the team run through the last signals of the regular season. Over at Athens the Georgia coaches saw the team go through its plays for the last time this year. There were, at each field, reviews of the offense expected in today's game when the old war cry rings out once more and the fooiball teams of Tech and Georgia meet at Athens.

Coaches went over defensive sets took each player through his alignments on blocking on passes on offense went through them once more and then once more. They wondered what had been left undone what was going on inside the skulls of their charges if they were keyed up for this game the most important one on the card. Wondered if this one would remember to do the one thing stressed all week wondered if the opposition attack would be just what was expected Jack Troy.

Both elevens are in fine shape for the same, and a rivalry of 2-1 years enliances the clash. TECH GEORGIA elevens from Atlan'a this morning. Few games in the south carry the tradition that is packed in this one.

It began in 1S03 when the late General Leonard Wood coached and played on the first Tech team. It won from Georgia. 23 to C. Somehow the rivalry of this game has never lost its edge. For almost half a century the Red and Black or Georgia and the Gold and White of Tech have clashed ou the football field with thousands of the hopeful and the frantic cheering them on in a game which means more than any other football game played in the state.

Georgia has no back to lival big Dutch Konemann as a ball carrier or a pass catcher. Georgia has no player to match Fletcher Sims as a passer and a defensive man.

Georgia's backfield does not handle the ball as well as Tech't. And most important -of all the Georgia team does not have team speed such as Tech offers. This has been the one thing. wih injuries, that handicapped Georgia most of this year. The material was there but from Chicago, with 70's.
