...grasp he met a much inferior but inspired team which defeated Duke 6-to-0. Again in 1935, he arrived in Atlanta with a so-called Rose Bowl team and again he went home defeated by the same score, 6-to-0. Both Georgia Tech scores were made on exactly the same play from almost the exact spot and at the same goal.

The exact nature of his injury is not easy to determine from his actions, it seems to be mainly a matter of favoring the spot that hurts most. Whether or not he will be able to start against Army depends primarily on his powers of recuperation, but Cliff Wilson, who apparently has weathered...
...used to the excitement of winning games by one-point margins. Only once before in his 19-year coaching career had that happened to him, on an historic occasion in 1926 when his Alabama team beat the University of Washington in the Rose Bowl by the exact score of last week...
