Georgia Tech defends the belt, 13–7, at home over Georgia Pre-Flight.
Where this game sits in the lineage
Georgia Tech came in 13 days into reign #92, which began with a win over Auburn, with one defense already behind it; this was its second defense. It was the last defense: Duke took the belt in the very next belt game, on November 4, 1944.
For Georgia Pre-Flight this was its first shot at the belt; it had never held the belt. It still hasn’t; this remains its only belt game.
This is the only time Georgia Pre-Flight and Georgia Tech have met with the belt on the line.
