...substantially what happened in the Georgia Tech game two weeks ago. Two weeks' of practice, however, can do a lot towards giving finesse in an offense of this sort, and if the Georgia game of last Saturday can be taken as any criterion, it seems to have made a good start. The conquerors of Yale were at a loss to check the powerful drives of the men from the land of oranges where they had a comparatively easy time with Albie Booth, the Elis' "alert atom...
