THE GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S
Full Football Schedule-Manning, Captain; Steber, Alternate A full ten-game schedule has finally been arranged for Coach W. A. Alexander's 1943 Yellow Jacket football team. Six of the games will be played in Atlanta and three away. Athens Naval Pre-Flight is a newcomer on the card, and the same may almost be said for North Carolina, L. S. U., Tulane, and Clemson, who haven't been on Tech's schedule for a period of years. Alabama and Vanderbilt are out for the duration, but other former teams to oppose the Jackets again, are Duke, Georgia, Notre Dame and Navy; in accordance with the following: 1943 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
Sept. 25—North Carolina at Grant Field. Oct. 2—Notre Dame at South Bend. Oct. 9—Athens Pre-Flight at Grant Field. Oct. 16—300th Infantry, Grant Field. Oct. 23—Navy at Baltimore. Oct. 30—Duke at Grant Field. Nov. 6—L. S. U. at Grant Field. Nov. 13—Tulane at New Orleans. Nov. 20—Clemson at Grant Field. Nov. 27—Georgia at Grant Field. Six of the nine opponents, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Athens Pre-Flight, Navy, Duke and Tulane, have naval units from which to draw material, assuring the Jackets of keen competition. Tech also has a naval unit. Tech has eight lettermen returning from last year's squad, but it is not known yet what aid the team will get from Navy trainees. Those who earned their "T" last fall are F r a n k Beall, A. Faulkner, "Mutt" Manning, Eddie Prokop, Ed Ryckeley, Wilbur Stein, J i m K u h n and Lowrey. The Jackets have been hit hard by graduation and losses to the armed forces. Gone from last year's eleven are Logan, Marshall, Page, Moody, Avery, R. Jordan, L. Jordan, Crawford, Clay, Allison, Richter, Helms, ends; Eaves, Healey, Slaton, Hammond, Munroe, Appleby, Anderson and P. West, tackles; J. Jordan, Mahon, Baird, Skinner, Hardy, guards; H. Smith, Lovelance, Coleman and M. West, centers; Dodd, Plaster, Hancock, Sheldon, Berman, Magbee, Little, Paschal, Dzenev, Dorsett, Heidenreich, McHugh, Castleberry, Bondurant, Luck and Morris, backs.
ROTC Juniors Return to Tech The R.O.T.C. juniors are being returned to Georgia Tech under the Army Specialized Training Program to complete their academic training. These men were sent to Replacement Training Centers for basic training. Upon completion of basic training they are sent direct to O. C. S. However, due to the reduction in n u m b e r of candidates now being accepted for officer training, these men are being returned to school for one or two terms. The Ordnance and Signal Corps men who left for Replacement Training Centers in March and April have been returned. At present, thirty-five Ordnance men and seven Signal Corps men have returned to school. The Infantry and Coast Artillery juniors who left for Replacement Training Centers in J u n e will report at a later date.
Manning and Steber Lead Jackets George (Mutt) Manning, one of the few returning lettermen on the Tech team, was elected captain of the 1943 edition of the Yellow Jackets at an election held Saturday, Sept. 11, before scrimmage. John Steber, a guard transfer from Vanderbilt, was elected alternate captain at the same meeting. Manning will be able to finish out the season if certain regulations are put into effect by the Navy. Manning was voted most valuable player on the 1942 Tech team, and was candidate for All-American last year. Besides having been a letterman for two years and a member of Phi Delta Theta, Manning is president of Omicrom Delta Kappa and president of the Senior class.
