The Kickoff is set for 2:00 p.m. CST. Georgia Tech comes into town with a 3-4 record . Coach Bud Carson's Yellow Jackets socked Duke, 20-7, last week. Two weeks ago, Tech scared the daylights out of unbeaten Southern Cal before falling , 29-18. Tulane is now 1-6 after a disheartening 26-23 loss to Vanderbilt last week. A late Tulane come­ back was nullified by a desparation play in the dying minutes of the contest. Coach Jim Pittman's young charges keep battling back from the brink of frustration, and once again Pittman will have to rekindle the fire after a bitter disappointment. Three of Tulane's losses have been by less than a touchdown. The Green Wave fell to Boston College by four points, Vanderbilt by three points, and Florida by one point. Tulane and Tech will be meeting for the 35th time on the gridiron. The first 34 contests, dating back to 1916, have produced 26 Tech wins to just eight for the Wave. Last year, the Jackets came out on top in a 23-19 thriller in Atlanta. Tech's last visit to New Or­ leans was in 1967, when a fired up band of Tulanians knocked off the Yellow Jackets, 23-12. After today's contest, the Green Wave will have one more home game-with Virginia Nov. 15- before winding up the season against archrival LSU Nov . 22 in Baton Rouge .
