8 The morning mail on the day before Chattanooga's Saturday in Cliff Hare Stadium brought Rdlph Jordan greetings from an Auburn alumnus who lives in Atlanta, Ga. The alumnus was not, at this writing, concerning himself with the Chattanooga game. Obviously hed won that one already, like any right-thinking alumnus. What he had to say was Wreck Tech!" or words to the effect. And the gentleman had reasons.

There was a wolf at the door, growling. If you dont win next Saturday, Old Grad wrote the coach of Auburn, All of us are going to havje to leave town. "For years weve screamed that the only reason Georgia Tech was always beating Auburn was that the game was always played at Grant Field. Well, now, its in Birmingham. Weve had it from these Tech people, Shug, if Tech wins this time.

Jordan didnt need the exhortation, though at the time he was more preoccupied with Chattanooga which might beat you this Saturday than Georgia Tech which might do it on the next. And being a mddest sort of a fellow, he wouldn't be pointing out any fallacies in the approach of a loyal War Eagle, either. Chance came earlier BUT THE FACT of the matter in the game which moves to Legion Field this week for the first time in its long history does not indicate that a change of site was needed for a change. Jordan came to coach Auburn in 1951. His first four years, building from the botton, the Tigers won none at all from Geor-gta Tech in its Grant Field stronghold.

The next five, they won three, tied one, lost one. Before 1955. when Auburn broke through, 14-12, Bobby Dodd's Techsters had won 13 all in a row at Atlanta. There has been no noticeable decline in the quality of Yellow Jacket football talent over the recent span. Auburn football simply has come up to join it.

Thus, the 63rd number in one of the finest of Southern football series shows up in Birmingham Saturday as another headliner in a season devoted to same. the shirts are white IT'LL SEEM strange, Jordan was saying Friday night as he withdrew reluctantly from consideration of Chattanooga to observation of a game two Saturdays away. "For the first time in my nine years, well be ont there with the white jersies on. They'll be wearing blue. But, really, I dont think that will make much difference to Georgia Tech.

I havent talked a great deal to Joel (Eaves), about them and he's been doing the scouting. We've been working for Chattanooga. I know, though, that they still have the same wealth of talent. Theyre as rich in players as anybody in this league and richer than most. Rough in Birmingham THEY PROBABLY have the biggest line Georgia Tech has had in years, and I keep hearing about what a tremendous job theyre doing on that old end sweep of theirs with speed and interference.

Its obvious that Stan Gann is doing a great job for them at quarterback, and (Chick) Graning, the halfback, has overcome a real tragedy to go on and be a fine football player." (Graning's bhde was killed a Summer ago in the accident which injured him badly before the start of the season). "Techs got fine athletes, and you know the history of the series. Itll be rough in Birmingham. "I sure hope my friend who wrote the letter doesnt have to move. Scores Two field goals Wells kicks Tech past LSU, 6-2 day, and the Tigers hacked out a 10 to 0 victory over Chattanooga.

This one was billed as a warmup for Georgia Tech next Saturday in Birmingham and 30,000 came light-heatredly to bask in the sun and watch. But until Burson, the long-striding sophomore from La-Grange. broke it open going the distance, 105 yards, with the second-half kickoff. War Eagles were finding small cause to cheer, not much to enjoy. They had, additionally, a 23-yard field goal by Ed Dyas later in the third quarter: some typically sharp punting by Joe Dolan and a couple of pass in-, terceptions.

That was about it. Chattanooga as always LITTLE Chattanooga which isnt so little came battling like Chattanooga always does and the Moccasins were doing things all through the day they werent supposed to do at all. They took the nations fourth-ranked defense and rammed through it for 179 yards. This might have been more except for some standing-out secondary work by Burson. Don Machen, Bobby Lauder and Bryant Harvard.

And, even more painful to Auburn partisans, the Moccasins left their Tigers with the worst set of offensive statistics in Ralph Jordan's nine years as head coach here. The Tigers finished with three first downs.
