In the spring, John Heisman was angry when his Georgia Tech baseball team was walloped 22-0 by Cumberland, with the story being that the tiny school in Lebanon, Tenn., used ringers. Seeking revenge, Heisman offered Cumberland a $500 guarantee to play Georgia Tech's football team, which he also coached, in the fall in Atlanta.

The game is a mismatch from the start. By the end of the first quarter the score is 63-0. Leading 126-0 at halftime, Heisman encourages his players not to let up. They don't. In the third quarter they pass Michigan's record of 153 points.

The final is 222-0, the most points scored by one team and the most lopsided game in college football history, though the game has been shortened to 12½-minute periods. Tech, which neither passes nor punts during the game, scores 32 touchdowns, with left halfback G.E. Strupper scoring six TDs and fullback T.L. Spence five. Cumberland doesn't register a first down and its net yardage is minus 28 yards.

Heisman has his revenge.
