But we mustn be so bucolic as to believe that even a Sutherland could make an All-America, say, for example, out of the present writer.

But that Sutherland can make the most out of the material, usually good, that he receives is generally agreed. That also could be said for several other big time coaches, Bierman, Schmidt, Thomas, Crowley, Layden, Howard Jones, et al. To be on the big tune you have to get good material and be able to mould it When a big time coach clips into a bad year or bad span of years the reason obviously is that his material has slumped If 7- ely he has suddenly been attacked in the flush or his 40 or oO years of age by senility.

Originally the two city rivals were scheduled to play on Thanksgiving Day but officials at Tech decided that they did not desire a Turkey Day grid date, preferring to have their undergraduates spend the holiday recess in their homes.
