Cats had little trouble in defeating by
four and five touchdowns, the Wildcats utterly went to pieces and put up
a game that bore no semblence of the
previous scrap with Tech.
To sum it up the Cats of 1923
were an off and on team. They had
their good days and they had their off
days. The squad contained several
brilliant gridders,
some of whom
were prominent in all of the contests,
and some of whom were hampered by
injuries the greater part of the season. Captain Dell Ramsey, although
shifted around considerably, played
brilliantly at each position he occu
pied.
Curtis Sanders put up as good
an exhibition in backing up the line in
the General scrap, as has been' witnessed on Stoll field for many a day, and
played almost equally as well throughout the entire season. Others had
their bright days but none put up the
consistent games that the two menTin Stylt Shewn

Engineers have started surveying
the site for the new football stadium.
The new plant will be located on the
present site of Stoll Field, but will be
moved a little to the West. Work on
the stadium, whose plans call for one
of the best stands in the South, will be
started at once.

Work on the new basketball building is progressing rapidly but it looks
like the Cats will not be able to get
into their new home before the first
of February at least. Until the new
court is finished the cage stars will
shine in the old gym.
