    GEORGIA 0|ITPlAYS YALE: Dit L..0|sl’IE!s’. 7–⁠6; Teen FLORIDA TIE Quite the outstanding event of Saturdays football games WAS the marvellous fight put up by the Uni iversity of Georgia against Yale, eastern champions last year. The IGeoreians outplayed their more ia nous opponents throughout the game, but lost by one pint, due to the failure Of Randall to kick gCal after touchdown. The score was Z to &. The premier contest in the south was the tie game between University of Florida and Georgia Tech in At lanta, each team scoring touch down and subsequent goal. Florida 0utgained Tech nearly two to one, but did not have sufficient margin of superiority to win. Auburn played listlessly against Virginia Polytechnic institute and neither team could score.
