Georgia Tech alumni, at home and abroad, the students, faculty members, and a veritable host of other friends everywhere, are all justifiably proud of the many and so well merited honors that have been bestowed upon Head Coach William A. Alexander. Congratulations to him from all of us have been profuse and are continuous; and, as characteristic of him, he has graciously received all honors most modestly, while referring to himself as only the "Front Man" for the members of his team—"the men behind the guns."

Prior to Coach "Alex's" selection as "Football Coach of the Year" by the head coaches of the nation's colleges and universities, he was chosen by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce as one of three distinguished citizens of Atlanta by unanimous vote of the directorate for the group, to receive a certificate of distinction. The award came not only because of t h e success of his Cotton Bowl team, one of the best in the nation, but in recognition of his great leadership which has endeared him to the thousands who have come under his influence, in addition to his preeminent standing as the dean of coaches throughout the nation.

Coaching athletics at Georgia Tech before and ever since his graduation in 1912 and head coach since 1919, Coach Alex received 73 first-place votes out of the total cast by the football coaches of the nation. Paul Brown, Ohio State, was second with 38, followed by Stuhldreher of Wisconsin with 14, and Henry F r n k a of Tulsa with 11. These alone were the first-place votes, which are the only ones that count in the ballot that is featured by the New York World-Telegram.

Congratulations, Bowl Teams To all the teams that played in their respective bowls on the first of the year, we extend our heartiest congratulations. "Well done," contestants, winners and losers, all of you merit every fine praise as warranted by your outstanding records and your deserved selections for the bowl games.

It is felt that those of us in the Southeastern Intercollegiate Conference may be pardoned our pride in the.jfact that, in the four major bowls on New Year's Day"; four teams of this particular conference were chosen on their respectively fine merits to meet other great teams; all of the latter, however, from widely separated sections of the country. The University of Georgia and Georgia Tech both, remarkably, from the same University System, and Alabama and Tennessee, gave all S. I. C. adherents a lot to cheer about.

All four certainly acquitted themselves well in their games. Georgia winning from U. C. L. A., in the Rose Bowl; Alabama defeating Boston College in the Orange Bowl; Tennessee conquering Tulsa in the Sugar Bowl; and Georgia Tech barely losing to the University of Texas in the Cotton Bowl—all of which sums up to such a creditable showing that the like of it will hardly, if ever, be seen again.

In the state of Georgia, the University has now played in the Rose Bowl and the Orange Bowl, winning in both; while Georgia Tech has but one major bowl left in which to show its prowess, having played in the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Cotton Bowl, winning in the first two and losing in the last by a score of 14 to 7 and missing out in the latter by a few feet short of a tie or win, on a near touchdown or two. That's a whale of a record in anybody's league.

"Georgia Tech Alumni Rate Banquet From Football Coaches"—Danforth In his Atlanta Journal sports column on Saturday, January 9, following the excellent Georgia Tech alumni testimonial dinner, the evening before, to Coach Alexander and the football team, Ed. Danforth, Journal Sports Editor, wrote most intelligently and interestingly—as usual—on the quite unusual subject of this article; and it is a pleasure to quote him practically in full, as follows: "Alumni are popularly supposed to wear long teeth and bushy tails and to emit the cry of the hunting wolf at this stage of the year, while the coach keeps to his fold and hopes they lose the scent. These Tech grads have not merely "put up" with William A. Alexander for 23 years; they have grown stronger for him as seasons came and went and the Tech teams did everything from winning one out of 10 to winning 10 out of 10.

Tech alumni should be given a testimonial dinner by the coaches of America for setting a fine example of understanding the problems of coaching and the impossibility of winning 'em all every year where scholastic standards are held and difficult schedules are invariably played.

Twenty-three years is a long time to maintain one's position as head football coach at any major college.

One must be a skillful coach, abreast of the changes in the game and a genius at handling men. One also must be a showman and a good business manager.

And one must be a man of good will and must have the best interests of the boys he coaches and the game he teaches at heart. The Old M a n has all t h a t . . . and more. His personality may be the by-product of all these professional qualities or the sum total of them, but it is the key to his success after all. He dishes it out and makes 'em like it in the toughest profession

Tech Naval Grads With Fleet For seventeen years Georgia Tech's Naval R.O.T.C. Unit has been graduating reserve officers, and recently Captain Babcock of the Naval Unit proudly announced that at least four hundred of Georgia Tech's R.O.T.C. graduates were now on active duty with the fleet.

Captain Babcock added that attempts are being made now to secure a definite and accurate account of both the number of Tech Navy men in active service and their rank.

"Nearly every week at least two Naval men on leave for a few days drop into my office to speak with me," said Captain Babcock. "For instance," he added, "only a short time ago, I had a visitor who was on leave while his ship underwent repairs. He informed me that out of ten officers on his destroyer, five were graduates of Georgia Tech."

Forty-one Naval students graduated from Tech this past June and every one is on active duty with the fleet. Twenty-four of them on cruisers, most of these now taking part in the attack on Solomon Islands; eleven of the forty-one are on submarines; three are on destroyers; and three are in the supply corps. Captain Babcock said, when being interviewed, that Tech's Naval graduates go directly into the fleet now as deck officers with the same duties as the graduates of the Naval Academy. Also, contrary to any previous time, after being at sea for one full year, the commanding officer of the ship may recommend them for a special, very thorough examination. If the men wish to take the exam, and should they pass successfully, they are given their regular commission and a lifetime job with the United States Navy.

Coach Alex and Team Feted at Testimonial Dinner

Mayor W m . B. Hartsfield of Atlanta congratulates Coach W n i . A . Alexander at the brilliant Georgia Tech Alumni Testimonial Dinner to Coach Alex and the team on January 8 , at the Atlanta Athletic Club. Coach Alexander was chosen one of three outstanding citizens of Atlanta and, later, Dec. 1 1 , he was named "Coach of the Y e a r . " Looking on in approval, seated, are: Carlyle Fraser, Pres. Atlanta Chamber of Commerce; Joel C. " J a k e " Harris, " A l l - A m e r i c a n " Toastmaster; Team Captain Jack Marshall, Ensign U.S.N.R., and Erie Cocke, Exec. Vice Pres., Fulton National Bank, to the left of Jack Marshall. Messrs. Fraser and Cocke were two of the speakers; the other two, Messrs. Ed Danforth, Sports Editor, Atlanta Journal, and Ralph McGill, Managing Editor, Atlanta Constitution, are not shown, unfortunately.—Photo, courtesy Atlanta Journal.

Georgia Tech alumni and other close friends feted pocket secretaries to each member of the Cotton Coach Alexander, his staff, and the football team at Bowl squad and the football staff.

(Continued from preceding page) climax, and something that will live deep in the heart of all that assembly, forever.

It started out to be one of those testimonial dinners, a tribute to Bill Alexander, who had been named "Coach of the Year" by the national association. But it turned rapidly into one of the tall peaks of sports history in the town that for decades has topped Dixie and stood up with any town in the nation, in its sporting achievements. One of those events where everything is clicking—as in certain brilliant victories on the gridiron and the ball field, you know.

The great hall was brilliantly decorated, blazing with the national colors, Georgia Tech streamers and banners. The long table across the center was occupied by the Tech football squad of 1942—that gallant troupe which was expected to win perhaps half its games that season, and went on to win all but one and go to Tech's third bowl engagement in history.

The preliminary music was something to remember—the farewell engagement of Graham Jackson, the great Negro pianist who for nearly 20 years has been a spectacular figure at the piano and the accordion in this town, and now goes into the United States Navy, which certainly will be a livelier organization with the new chief petty officer.

The old Tech songs—and "Rambling Wreck," by the way, stacks up mightily with the most spirited of the military chanties, as Jackson rolled them out, along with the caissons of the Field Artillery and the spreading advent of the Marines. And, of course, "The Gang's All Here," and all the rest.

Then came the speeches, four tributes to Coach Alex by four speakers who were talking from the heart, as Jake Harris presented them: Ed Danforth, sports editor of The Journal, first on "The Team"— the gallant team of 1942; and then Ralph McGill, editor of The Constitution, on "The Coach"; and Carlyle Fraser, incoming president of the Chamber of Commerce, on "The Citizen," and then Erie Cocke, vice president of the Fulton National Bank, on "The Man." Four better planned or better executed addresses probably never have been presented at the same affair in this old town.

And then Jake Harris, quoting R. L. Stevenson, insisted that the great writer had in mind a replica of Coach Alex, when he wrote: 'He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task, and who has left the world better than he found it.'

He followed with the presentation of the great silver bowl, which carried inscriptions of the three Bowl Games on it; and then that magnificent line

by Coach Alex, in that shortest and finest speech of the kind on record: 'I am just the "front man,"' said Alex. 'You're talking about these boys here, and these coaches— and all those who have gone before. . . . I want to pay my tribute to them.'

You can't beat that. You can't tie it. . . . And then the presents to Captain Jack Marshall and Alternate Captain Ralph Plaster, and to all the team. And a great evening had ended, that will live on in the heart of Georgia Tech and its gallant sons forever."

Georgia Tech's fall commencement on February 1 recalls World War I when Tech students first experienced an accelerated program. Due to the length of the present war, however, the college program at this time is more extensive, with no summer vacations and very few holidays.

In its streamlined yet impressive exercises, in Tech's handsome Auditorium-Gymnasium, the college again followed its excellent precedent in securing exceptional speakers for the occasion: Governor Ellis Arnall, Georgia's new and progressive leader, the "Commencement Address," and Rev. James W. Middleton, pastor First Baptist Church, Atlanta, "Invocation and Spiritual Message."

Of the 240 Seniors receiving their diplomas, 60 per cent will enter the armed forces of the United States and the remaining 40 per cent will go into war industries.

Alumni Active in Washington, D. C Reports have been reaching the alumni office of the activities of the Georgia Tech alumni in Washington, D. C, and it is interesting to note that the "Ramblin' Wrecks" in the National Capital have been holding enjoyable "get togethers" ever so often.

George V. Schliestett, B.S. Aero. Engr. '32, Lieut.

U.S.N.R., 2700 Que Street, N.W., Washington, D. C, states that the old club started functioning again in December, 1941. He writes that the "organization" is very flexible, in keeping with the times which, of course, may change all plans very suddenly. It consists, however, of an entertainment committee, composed of two members who serve for two months— long enough for one "stag" and one "drag" affair— and a more or less permanent secretary-treasurer to provide some continuity of action. Thus far it has worked out very well.

The group started, as stated, on December 9, 1941, when Eisey Eisenhart ('37), Bill Hale ('32), Ralph Read ('32) and George Schliestett got together for dinner. In January there were eight; in February there were sixteen with their ladies; in March there were twenty-two with their ladies; and in April there were twenty-three at a stag organization dinner.

Lieut. Norman Eisenhart and Capt. Tom Seigler served on the entertainment committee in May and June. Capt. Mark Thompson and Lieut. Herbert Haley were on the committee in July and August.

They have done a good job of providing excellent entertainment.

Frank Melson and Capt. Bill Mahoney were on the committee for September and October. They secured a block of tickets for the play on the Willard Hotel Roof Music Hall, and a noisy good time was had by the thirty-odd couples.

Seventy-four of the group and their ladies attended the Georgia Tech-Navy game at Annapolis and sat in the Georgia Tech section reservations for them.

Needless to say, they enjoyed seeing the Tech crowd and were thrilled at Tech's 21-0 victory over a truly first-class Navy team.

All alumni in and around Washington are cordially welcome to join the "gang," contacts with whom may be made through Lieut. George Schliesstett, U.S.N.R., at his 2700 Que St., N.W., address, as stated.

'Gene Turner Returns to China

Alumni Officiate in Three Bowls

Word has been received by Mr. A. M. Guttery, World Service Secretary and colleague of 'Gene Turner, at the World Service Y. M. C. A., 347 Madison Avenue, New York City, of 'Gene's safe arrival in India, en route to China. While on his trip, 'Gene wrote the following interesting letter to say farewell and thanks, again, to his many friends: "Dear Friends: For several days now I have been on m y roundabout way to Chungking. On October 1 there came a telephone call, asking if I could start for China on October 5. The next afternoon came confirmation from Washington, and I began preparation in earnest so that my baggage could reach the port of departure.

The farewell and thanks I should have liked to have said, I had to leave unsaid. I trust that you will accept this written message as a personal message of appreciation. I hope, also, that it will reach you in time to carry m y Christmas and New Year greetings.

One has to be certain of the value of his work to leave his family and go off in days like these and b y dangerous travel about as far from home as he can possibly go. The distance is not serious, but separation from home for the duration is. My wife will remain at Tryon, N. C. One son, in the Ministry, is serving as field worker of the American Council of Missions in Texas for the time being. The other is in the Navy on assignment for special study.

I left Georgia Tech in 1913 and set my face toward China just as she was starting on her road to freedom. By ordinary experience that meant that I was turning away from friends at home, but it did not prove so. Twenty-nine years later, as I go again to China, friends are not fewer, but more. Some of you I have not met personally, but you have accepted me because I bore the stamp of Georgia Tech. Other friends I have, also. Some came t h r u boyhood days, some from college days and others t h r u later years and contacts. Some have come thru my wife. All, I count as gifts of God and of humanity at its highest and best—as gracious and courtly a group of understanding friends as heaven can bestow.

There is no lack of men who would have done w h a t I have done, but you have made it possible for me. Thanks to you and your faith and loyalty, I go to China again when I believe my greatest opportunity lies before me. You may be sure that I shall count your names over often, and that I shall think of you as working with me, even as you sit at your desks, m a k e the round of your plants, or take your share in home, community and national effort.

Some of you have shared in the re-tooling, t h e dismantling and the transformation which America has undergone these past few months to assure material aid to our allies. We have surpassed dreams in allout, unselfish effort which is showing itself in every corner of t h e world. Along with these material reinforcements, the administration has realized, too, that there must go spiritual ones. Otherwise, I should not be on my way now. General Foch expressed it when he said that nine-tenths of the strength of an army is in morale. It is on this sector of the United Front that I shall be working as a small cog in the machine as a whole.

My immediate assignment is likely to be with the Chinese Army. With a staff of some 450 secretaries (Chinese), we are maintaining religious, social, recreational and first-aid work among the soldiers.

In addition are 300-odd Chinese secretaries in regular civilian work, with special features for soldiers, in

Three prominent Georgia Tech alumni officiated in three different major bowl games on J a n u a r y 1, and had it not been for the fact that their own college team was in the Cotton Bowl game, it's quite likely that there would have been four of the alumni in the four major bowls.

F r o m the seven Southeastern Conference officials and the three from the Southern Conference, out of the sixteen chosen officials in all, three w e r e from Atlanta and, as stated, all the latter Georgia Tech alumni. T. L. Johnson, '22, was field judge in the Rose Bowl; George Gardner, '25, head linesman in the Sugar Bowl; and G. M. " P u p " Phillips, '19, head linesman in the Orange Bowl. That implies a lot of confidence, as it should, and a lot of efficient officiating.

In Appreciation We again wish to express to the many of you our sincerest appreciation for your cards, letters, and other fine and kind Christmas and New Year wishes.

Our heartfelt thoughts were tendered, as best w e knew how, to all of you in the December A L U M N U S ; and may we repeat, our best wishes for everything good to you and to yours for the New Year and always.

'Gene Turner Returns to China—(Cont'd.) thirty-five of our larger cities. Financial support comes primarily from Chinese and covers a budget of more than $3,500,000 in local currency. One regular contribution comes from Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek.

For longer than we realize, China has been one leg of the triangle on which the United Nations stand today. Had she not stood unyielding over these bitter years our task now would be much greater than it is.

By her heroic efforts, and her sacrifices, she has won her way, fought it if you will, to a senior partnership in the United Nations crusade. After five and a half years of fighting "without eyes" and against great odds, she has a well-trained army of six million, with reserves in training to provide in time an a r m y of thirteen million. There are some 800,000 guerrilla forces who m a k e life miserable for enemy troops in occupied regions. She is maintaining her medical service on increasingly effective basis and t h r u her laboratories turning out streams of vaccines and preventive medicines for army and civilian needs throughout the country, not to mention manufacture of rifles, machine guns, and ammunition for these and other field needs.

Chiang Kai-shek's message to America when I told him good-bye a little more than a year ago was: "Tell friends in America that as long as there is a Japanese soldier on Chinese soil, including Manchuria, China will fight on." When I see him a few weeks hence, I shall take him a message of a united America, riding now in high, hitting on all cylinders in all-out nationwide effort in sympathetic understanding and appreciation of the fight they have been waging, and assurance that America is also in to the finish, and until that day comes when men everywhere can live unafraid and free, and realize the Chinese proverb that, 'All within the seven seas are brothers.'

I hold out my hands to you in greetings and appreciation.

Sincerely yours, S / Eugene A. Turner," National Committee YMCA, Chungking, China.

Texans Praised for Hospitality

Dr. Brittain Honored by Engineers

Texans, Georgia Tech alumni in Texas and, by all means, the beautiful University of Texas co-eds along with the other lovely ladies of the famous state, all saw to it that the Jackets and the coaching staff were entertained—during entertainment time— with a hospitality and generosity never surpassed.

Sporting wide-brimmed white hats of the tengallon variety, which were given to the Techmen for identification purposes, and leather belts with gold buckles, more gifts, the Cotton Bowl boys echoed praises of the reception they received out in the Lone Star State.

Arriving in Dallas in groups they moved into nothing less than suites in one of the town's best hotels, the Melrose. The Engineers got right down to the business of the day. They were given a nearby high school stadium to work out in, and this they did twice a day.

Many prominent persons from among the Georgia Tech alumni and the sports world met and entertained the Tech group in Dallas, Houston, and New Orleans, the party having stopped at the two latter cities on its return to Atlanta.

After the game the Jackets were guests at a big party in Dallas, complete to the point of co-eds from Texas U. They visited spots of interest around Dallas, including the Nieman-Marcus Department Store, one of the richest and most exclusive in the country.

Decked out in their Western outfits, the boys were taken for Texans all the way home.

On Thursday night, January 14, Dr. M. L. Brittain, President of Georgia Tech, was presented with a scroll of honorary membership in the Georgia Engineering Society, at its annual meeting in Atlanta.

The award was presented by Cherry L. Emerson, B.S. in M.E., and E.E., '08, Executive Vice-President, Robert and Company, Atlanta, Ga. The principal address was delivered by Alexander Harris, of Atlanta, assistant regional administrator of the Office of Price Administration.

Retiring President Thomas T. Tucker and the new president, Judson O'D. Shepherd, also spoke.

One of the objectives of the Georgia Engineering Society is the promotion of science and useful arts in the state, President Shepherd pointed out.

"Georgia is sadly behind the country as a whole in its contributions to scientific knowledge," he declared.

"This is reflected roughly in the number of patents issued to Georgians in comparison with those issued to residents of the United States as a whole.

"Based on an analysis of 10,000 patents issued during the last part of 1942, patents were taken out at the rate of 30 per 100,000 of the white population of the country. The comparative figure for Georgia is 3.8 per 100,000, or approximately one-eighth of the rate for the country as a whole."

Tech Training War Workers To meet the need for engineering and scientific training for industry, created by war production needs, the National Office of Education sponsored an engineering training program in 1941, called "Engineering Defense Training."

During the spring and summer of last year twelve courses in defense training were offered here at Tech and about 224 students were trained.

Engineering, science, and management, war training includes courses to meet the requirements of every branch of productive industries. Some of the fields of training are: engineering drafting, automotive engineering, power plant engineering, radio communication, industrial safety engineering, and others. Some of the courses offered are: electronics, wood shop, heat treating, welding, radio courses, and others.

Georgia Tech is really "putting out" for the war effort. For instance, the welding laboratory, the foundry, and the machine shop are on a 24-hour schedule. These classes are being conducted in all parts of the state.

It has been discovered in the Bell bomber plant that production supervision, motion and time study, cost accounting, and industrial safety have been the most progressive fields of study. However, in the future more draftsmen and draftswomen will be needed.

Due to the shortage of manpower there is a huge demand for trained workers. Only a few weeks ago a class of women that had been training in gauge study were turned over to the Holfast Rubber Company. These women will be gauge technicians, one of the backbone jobs of the company. Most of the welders have been turned over to the Alabama Drydocks Company in Mobile, Ala., although some go to the Charleston shipyards.

Army ROTC Pageant and Awards Due to the inclement weather, Georgia Tech's annual military pageant this year was held in the gymnasium, Friday, January 8.

The program consisted of presentation of awards and introduction of the respective sponsors of both Military and Naval battalions.

An Individual Drill Competition was held in the Naval Armory while the program was being carried out. The winners in this competition were Hutchison, Infantry; Weaver, Navy; and Yates, Coast Artillery. Other award winners were F. W. Dennington, W. K. Woodard, F. H. McRae, R. E. Wall, F. W. Rose, A. G. Matson, W. L. Lofton, J. S. Baldwin, J. F. Cheney, V. R. Widerquist, A. C. Skinner, J. R. Burton, P. C. Underwood, W. M. Rodgers, S. J. Gostin, E. P. Scott, G. L. Lewis, H. R. Cole, M. Spitzer, W. W. Ramage, R. A. Thomas, P. S. Harrower, A. F. Hines, B. E. Barksdale, and W. H. Calloway.

Cadet Major F. W. Rose received his award for the highest senior grades in military science and tactics.

Captain Frank W. Dennington had the best drilled army battery; Captain F. H. McRae, the best physically drilled army battery; Naval Cadet Lieut. W. K. Woodard, the best drilled navy company; and A. G. Matson was designated the most outstanding Naval R.O.T.C. student.

Tech Training War Workers-(Conr'd.)

The largest demand for Tech machinists has been from the Bell bomber plant, but recently many have started to work for the Sinkbelt Machine Company and the Murray Company. Students that have been educated in heat treating, one of the newer fields, are now working at the Bell bomber plant also.

The school is particularly proud of its achievements in radio. Ninety radio experts are now being graduated every six weeks. This is the only radio training school of its kind in the state. The graduates are given government civil service jobs for at least one year.

THE GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S

Some Early Georgia Tech History

By H. D. CUTTER,

1892

(Continued from last issue) While at Tech I boarded at several places: with Mrs. Witter, on Simpson Street, the D. McD. Parkhursts, at 282 Spring Street, the Shelvertons, on Calhoun Streef, the Prims, on Rawson Street, and Mrs. Collins, at 177 Alexander Street. I promised the editor that I would not be personal except for a few things that I might relate. They are not of general interest, but it shows some things of college life.

While at the Prims, Mr. Julius Brown lived in the corner almost opposite our front veranda. There was a pestiferous chicken that paid us daily visits; in fact, he stayed long and often. The boys were wont to feed him, and he took to our cherry tree in the front yard. He was fine and fat. We seldom had fried chicken on our menu, so the boys decided they would try this one. One night, after having burned the midnight oil for examination the next day, they decided it would be nice to have fried chicken to finish it off; and when it was cooked it was fit for a king. I did not refuse to eat my part, and so I might be considered in the eyes of the law as particeps criminis.

I often think of a little episode in Professor Lane's English class. It was customary on Fridays to have some member of the class make a speech; it could be original or could be a speech by some famous orator. J i m Spence, from Camilla, chose- Patrick Henry's famous speech, made before the Revolution, in the Virginia House of Burgesses. J i m arose to make his speech. I do not know if he failed to properly prepare the speech or if he was just frightened; but anyway, he got to the lines, "I have no lamp by which my feet are guided." He hesitated and repeated three or four times and could go no further. Professor Lane then said, "Jim, I am afraid your lamp has gone out; sit down."

When living on Calhoun Street, Dr. Emerson lived next door to us. One afternoon I came home with a high temperature and was quite sick. The other boys insisted that I have a doctor, so I told them to send for Dr. Armstrong, as he had attended me once while at the Parkhursts. Dr. Emerson, hearing of my illness, came over to see me. Dr. Armstrong had just entered the room when Dr. Emerson came in. I naturally spoke to Dr. Emerson, calling him Dr. Emerson; so Dr. Armstrong, immediately addressing Dr. Emerson, said, "Doctor, is this your patient?" (meaning to r e t i r e ) . Dr. Emerson courteously and properly informed Dr. Armstrong as to himself and his interest in the students.

I never can quite forget this episode: W. P. (Billy) Walthall, from Palmetto, organized and edited a college paper called The Technologian. He was the most popular m a n in school. He was very bright, and when he read a thing he knew it; he did not have to dig for it. He had written an article appearing in the paper making a travesty of an occurrence that had happened in New Orleans in the Italian quarter. In this article several members of the faculty were mentioned, not by name, but by implication.

By comparing each one of the boys who boarded at Mrs. Collins,' calling it a rendezvous, using his name but using the suffix afterward as Thomas, calling it Thomassi. These men were charged in the article with manufacturing brass knucks. bayonets, daggers, guns, and knives for a supposed uprising.

The article was so well timed (as many had really (Continuedxm page 54)

Jackets Lose Cotton Bowl Came Georgia Tech's 1942 football team tried valiantly to follow the victorious bowl game examples of the 1928 team, in the Jan. 1, 1929, Rose Bowl game, and the 1939 team, in the Jan. 1, 1940, Orange Bowl encounter; but fate, a r u n of hard luck and injuries following the Alabama tussle—and certainly too much Texas Longhorn power, all conspired to leave the Yellow Jackets on the short end of a 14 to 7 count, in the J a n u a r y 1 Cotton Bowl game at Dallas, Texas.

The Jackets intercepted a pass right after the opening kickoff, but only a few plays later Texas again took possession of the ball and carried it over the double stripe.

P a t McHugh was the Techster who stepped in front of the ball for the interception which started a Tech drive that bogged down on the Texas 21-yard line.

McHugh fumbled the punt and Texas recovered on its own 48. The Longhorns, sparked by McKay's passing and running, went 52 yards, scoring from the two on a pass from McKay to Max Minor. Minor fell into the coffin corner and it was disputed as to whether he crossed the goal line before going out of bounds. The pass was called good, however, and with a perfect conversion, the score stood 7-0.

Tech made repeated thrusts, but were unable to push that Texas forward wall over the goal line. In the third quarter, Field tucked the pigskin under his arm after receiving a punt, and scampered 60 yards for the second touchdown. McKay converted. Thus ended Texas' scoring for the day. It did not end the brilliant defensive work of the line, however.

It was not until early in the final period of the game that the Jackets were able to muster power for a score. Passes and reverses, little used until the final period, completely bewildered the Longhorns and the Jackets slipped down to the six-yard line.

Three line plays yielded as many yards, so the Engineers dusted off the old statue of liberty play and Davy Eldridge circled the end for the score. Jordan added the conversion.

Captain Marshall turned in the greatest performance of his career in the Cotton Bowl tilt. Jack is a great defensive end and handles passes with skill.

P a t McHugh carried his share of the load. Pat has been bad medicine on pass defense all year, and this game was no exception.

The efforts of the Techsters were seriously hampered by the absence of Ralph Plaster during most of the contest. Fortunately, however, McHugh had about fully recovered from injuries sustained in the Alabama game.

The Jackets put up a real contest, but simply met a bigger and better team in Texas University at the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day.

Some Early Georgia Tech History-(Cont'd.) made knucks in the foundry) that the faculty took exception to the article and gave notice that Billy was to be expelled from school. The student body, aroused almost to a man, said, "If Walthall goes, w e go." Billy died about two years ago. I could never understand why he, after such a brilliant record, should not have followed some line of engineering.

It might be in order to state that the "Rambling Wreck" had its beginning during the first year or two after Tech opened. Some of the frills were afterward added. We had no football team during the early days, but football was played on the campus.

A round rubber ball was used, and it was strictly football窶馬o holding the ball and running with it.

The game was similar to the old game of "shinney."

We had a good baseball team, and I. remember on one occasion almost the whole school went over to Athens to play Georgia. Duke Black of Rome pitched, and w e brought home the "bacon." This was the beginning of Rambling Wreck.

In doing m y work in the wood shop, although I had handled tools from my boyhood, I had to make 28 T's before I had one to pass; b u t it was worth it, and after this the others were comparatively easy, clear through the puzzle which, after being glued together, was very difficult for even an expert to tell how it was made.

My son, Howard D. Cutter, Jr., now in the Engineering Department of the Southeastern Underwriters, graduated from Tech in 1919, and my grandson, Howard D. Cutter III, although only 10 years old, is eagerly awaiting the time when he can attend Tech.

One more personal m a t t e r and I will conclude: I was once accused of devising the formula known as "Kutters Formula," which determined the law of flow in a sewer or open weir. I do not remember having learned this at Tech, but it has been of much value since in designing storm and sanitary sewers.

While Assistant City Engineer in Macon, I had a man working under me who laid the pipe and built manholes and repaired paving patches. In talking once to him I had a sewer where, on account of the lower end having so much more fall than the upper end, I determined by this formula that the outlet could b e smaller t h a n the inlet, and I designed it this way. He thought it should be reversed. I told him I figured it out by "Kutters Formula," and he thereafter always spoke of it as "your" formula. This may be of interest to m a n y of the older boys and possibly some of the present student body.

After Dr. Hopkins' death, Captain Hall was made president, and he m a d e a remarkable record for Tech, interesting men of means to erect buildings on the campus. After L y m a n Hall's death (he had an honorary degree conferred on him, after which he was known as Dr. H a l l ) , Dr. K. G. Matheson was m a d e president. H e also m a d e a fine record establishing other departments and also other buildings.

He was afterward called to head Drexel Institute, and accepted presumably on account of financial reasons. Dr. Matheson died several years ago. After his retirement, N. P. Pratt, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, served as Administrative Executive. (This is the same P r a t t who was in my class, his father having been state chemist.)

Some years ago, at a reunion, I saw displayed a facsimile or model of the Tech campus as it exists now; also one showing the original two buildings.

On the administration building and shops, with the topography of same, they evidently did not have all

Manning Awarded Rhodes Trophy George Manning, sixty-minute center, of Albany, Georgia, was awarded the handsome silver Rhodes Memorial Trophy at the annual Joe Rhodes dinner on Monday night, J a n u a r y 18. Manning was given the trophy as the player who had done most for his team during the 1942 football season.

Six years old, manly and beaming, J i m m y Robinson III, son of Mr. and Mrs. J a m e s D. Robinson, Jr., and grandson of Tech's devoted friend, "Mr. J o e " Rhodes, was presented by Ed. Danforth to award the trophy.

The choices, along with Manning for the last four years, have been Howard Ector, J o h n n y Bosch, and Wex Jordan. Ector and Bosch, two backs, and Jordan and Manning, two linemen.

The selection is made by a secret ballot of 15 committeemen, exclusive of coaches and sports writers, appointed by Everett Strupper, who, with Mrs. Strupper, are the annual hosts of this grand dinner party.

Each member of the trophy committee votes secretly and without the knowledge of any other member, and the results are not divulged until the award is presented.

The 1942 varsity squad, " B " teams, and freshman team, all sat at a long team table and were individually introduced by Coaches Bobby Dodd, Norris Dean and Dwight Keith. The words of fun and praise were tempered with a serious note that reflected the thoughts on the minds of all, at leaving college and entering the armed forces of the United States, climaxed by George Manning's manful and feeling reception of his high and so well merited award. the data, because on the lower edge of the campus, near North Avenue and about at the entrance to Grant Field, there was an enormous gulch.

In order to prevent climbing down the gulch in walking to the school, Dr. Hopkins had a wooden foot bridge built from this point to a point almost halfway to the administration building. It was a great help to the students, especially if they were about to be late to class, as it made a tremendous difference in the climb. Dr. Hopkins always claimed it was the descending grade t h a t he objected to, and not t h e ascending.

There were three things I learned at Tech that I shall never forget, they impressed me so. One of these, in Math., w e found that two parallel straight lines, no m a t t e r how far apart, would go on and on at the same distance apart but would finally meet at infinity, an apparent contradiction. Also, the old problem of w h a t would happen if an irresistible force should strike an impenetrable and immovable body. Also in the study of Kinematics, we find many complicated equations embracing from four, five, or six integrals; then after it is solved, w e multiply the result by 2 to 8 or 10 as a factor of safety. In other words, any engineering construction should first be safe; and, second, should not be wasteful in cost.

These questions remind me of the problem that I have since heard, viz., "Why do married men live longer than single ones?" The wag answers, "They don't; it just seems longer."

In closing, it may be interesting to state that in the earlier days w e had no dormitories; consequently, we had no radiators to sell to innocent apprentices.

We also had no snipe hunting, although the terrain for miles behind the campus would have been admirably adapted for this form of sport.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Tech Stars Make All-America And All-Conference Teams

HARVEY HARDY Stellar Guard

CLINT CASTLEBERRY Star Back

Harvey Hardy, Tech senior and stellar guard on the 1942 football team, was selected by International News Service and other national news agencies as an All-America Guard for the year. Hardy, born and reared in Thomaston, Georgia, was placed on the writers' All-Southeastern Conference team, also, in addition to many others.

Clint Castleberry, Georgia Tech freshman from Atlanta, Ga., goes on record as the first freshman ever to win All-America recognition on these polls, and he is the first freshman on record to be represented on the first team of the United Press AllSoutheastern Conference. Of his All-America recognition, the International News Service states that Castleberry would have landed a first team place if he had not been a freshman; however, he was practically a unanimous choice, every time, for the AllAmerica second team. Castleberry was also named national freshman star of the year.

George "Mutt" Manning, Albany, Ga., junior, and star center, was chosen as second team center on all Southeastern Conference polls, following closely Domnanovich of Alabama from Indiana, in all selections. Manning was right at the top, too, in the "Honorable Mentions" on the I. N. S. All-America Team.

Bob Jordan, sophomore, from Anniston, Ala., was placed on the All-Star Soph Team by the A. P. Captain Jack Marshall, Atlanta, senior; Alternate Captain, Ralph Plaster, Atlanta, senior; Pat McHugh, Orville, Ala., junior; and others of the team were also duly recognized in the mentions.

It is also most interesting to note that the only freshmen other than Castleberry to receive AllAmerica recognition were Tom Shelvin, Yale, 1901, and "Bum" Day, 1918, Georgia Tech center, who made Walter Camp's teams. Camp's selections were regarded as official; however, records are now compiled from the national polls with which all sports followers are undoubtedly familiar.

Tech 20, Florida 7 Georgia Tech had to call out all of its strength to turn back a gallant brigade from the University of Florida and emerged with a 20 to 7 victory at Grant Field, Georgia Tech, on November 21, 1942.

The stands were stricken with chills as the fighting Florida 'Gators got the second string team of Engineers down in the first quarter and wouldn't let them up. The stands breathed easier when the regulars charged in and rambled 93 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, but they had a relapse when the underrated 'Gators matched the score and kicked the goal to tie it up at half time.

In the second half, Tech's play was still ragged on defense and was not very well organized on offense, but the team had too much class to lose. Tech's team was in weakened condition from its terrific schedule and the hard-fought Alabama game the week before; and it was a different team on the field, a team that was lucky to have beaten the 'Gators 20 to 7.

Tech-Georgia Came An all-inspired University of Georgia team, playing undefeatable football in anybody's league, won its Rose Bowl bid by turning back an all-tired but valiant Georgia Tech team from a national championship by a score of 34 to 0, at Stanford Field in Athens, Ga., on November 28.

Georgia would undoubtedly have defeated any team in the country on the day of the Tech game but, in all fairness it may now be said, as is known, that the Jackets were stale and badly crippled. Georgia met Auburn two weeks after it had played Alabama and Tech met Georgia two weeks after playing Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so there may or may not be something to consider as to physical fitness or unfitness in that connection.

Tech-Georgia Came—(Cont'd.)

The Red and Black-garbed Bulldog had gotten its dander up the week before when the A u b u r n Tiger, who had been playing 'possum during most of the season, jumped into action with fangs showing and a roar that was heard over the entire country and sent the Georgia 10-second men scurrying back to their Athenian doghouse, on the wrong end of a bad loss. Tech had defeated A u b u r n early in the season, when both teams were probably at their best.

Feeling r a n high and several sparks of fury flew out from the stands as the Tech and Georgia hopefuls took to the field for the afternoon battle. 20,000 rooters in the north stands jumped to their feet as Georgia's Poschner fumbled the ball to Tech on the opening kickoff return. During the rest of the game, however, yells and hopes of the north stands grew lower and lower and south stands monopolized the rest of the cheering.

It has been said that Harvey H a r d y turned in his greatest performance of the year against the Bulldogs, and that is not far from being correct. Manning and Jordan were also highly acclaimed for their performance. For the first half of the game, in fact, t h e whole line held, and held well. The endless stream of perfect passes over their heads, however, soon wore them down to less than their usual brilliance.

Clint Castleberry started the game in much the same form as of old despite the fact that the blocking of his teammates was ineffective and that Georgia refused to become muddled by the deception of the Jackets. In the second period, however, Clint's knee was twisted and he did not return to the battle.

It was Davy Eldredge who carried the b r u n t of Tech's offensive. Although Davy has been spasmodic in his performances for Tech, he proved that he was able to t u r n on the steam under pressure when he led his teammates in yardage covered over the ground.

Jordan and Bobby Sheldon came up for their part of the glory by gaining 23 and 20 yards respectively.

Green Basketeers Start Well Despite the r e t u r n of only one veteran, albeit a good one in the person of center and captain, J a k e Lance, Georgia Tech's 1943 basketball players started off their season well by defeating South Carolina 33-23 on J a n u a r y 9, and by winning from then unbeaten Vanderbilt, on J a n u a r y 16, with a score of 43-29; both games were played on Tech's court.

South Carolina journeyed from the Jacket game to defeat Georgia; whereas, Vanderbilt met Tech after having just defeated A u b u r n at A u b u r n and then the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens.

Basketball Coach Mundorff warns that "two swallows don't make a summer"; however, it is felt that two swallows help a bit, at least.

Captain Lance tops the Jacket scorers, but he has competent assistance from Bill Johnson, Charley Scruggs, Red Broyles, Wes Paxon, Wilbur Stein and his other teammates in t h e games.

Tech's green team is, in fact, a spirited and cooperative group, and it bids'fair to give a good account of itself throughout t h e season. Its schedule follows: 1943
