I don't know when GT started using the tune, but its Cal history goes back to 1913, when it lost out to "Big C" in the annual Daily Californian song contest (it won the next year).
Both versions of the song mention a "battle axe" and "farm". I don't know about GT-UGA, but with Cal-Stanford, there is definitely a "battle axe" (the Stanford Axe) and Stanford has been known as "The Farm", as that's what it was prior to the school being built.
hey g-tech, do your research. the song dates back to a competition here at the good ol' uc almost a century ago. you guys didn't start using it until after 1929, coincidentally the same year the bears and yellow jackets met in the rose bowl. don't do cal the double insult of taking our song and then calling us unoriginal.

Wrong. The song was written at Berkeley, for Cal, in 1913. Georgia Tech doesn't claim it until 1919 at the earliest.
Go Bears!
