One hundred and forty Yellow Jackets reported to Coach Bobby Dodd on September 1 for the opening practice of the coming football season. It is believed that this is some kind of a record in numbers for Tech. All seemed to be in top condition with the exception of Buster Humphreys, sophomore fullback, who last spring suffered a broken arm. Buster will have to take things easy for a few weeks. Dinky Bowen's knee, as well as that of end Jack Griffin, seems to have responded to treatment and looks like it's going to be all right. "Buck" Doyal, center on last year's squad, has been shifted to guard to bolster that position, and Melvin Dodd, varsity basketball player, has been shifted to center. The forty odd freshmen who reported looked like an exceptionally good crop. More will be heard about them as the year rolls along. Probably a good many more freshmen will report when the fall quarter gets under way.
