MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING GEORGIA TECH NATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Georgia Tech Y. M. C. A., 5:00 P. M., November 5, 1948 President J. J. Westbrook, '29, opened the meeting at 5:00 P. M. by greeting the 50 or more alumni present, on behalf of the Alumni Association.

The minutes of the Annual Meeting held September 27, 1947, were approved. Aforementioned minutes had been published in the November-December, 1947, issue of the GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS. The Treasurer's report was given by Secretary Jack Thiesen who substituted for Treasurer Yates, as the latter officer was out of the city. Mr. Thiesen announced, after giving the report, that the books as audited were open for inspection to any alumnus at any time. Monie Ferst made a motion, seconded by J. P. Poole, that the report be accepted. Motion carried unanimously.

President Westbrook introduced the officers and trustees of the Alumni Foundation Board and the Alumi Association Board, who were present. Each individual present then introduced himself, giving name, class and home town.

Mr. Thiesen gave the Secretary's Report. He covered briefly, the activities of the Alumni Association, progress of the Annual Roll Call, the Alumni Reception, Home Coming and the final act of changing the name of the school.

Roane Beard, Manager of Alumni Activities for the Alumni Association, reported on the number of Alumni Clubs that have met during the past year and also reported on the American Alumni Council meeting held at Ann Arbor during July, 1948.

A report of the activities of the Alumni Foundation was given by Howard Ector, the Foundation's Executive Secretary. He brought out the reason for their being established and explained what they were doing in the interest of Georgia Tech.

The work of the Research Institute and Experiment Station was well outlined by H a r r y Baker, President of t h e Research Institute. Mr. Baker discussed the phenomenal growth of the Experiment Station.

Oscar Davis, Vice President of the Alumni Association, reported on an investigation trip made by the Student Activities Building Committee. He stated that the group visited seven campuses in five days and that the members were greatly impressed with what they saw and the uses that were made of Student Union Buildings. The committee, he says, will submit a report and recommendations on its findings for inspection of Georgia Tech representatives, t h e Alumni Board members and the alumni themselves.

Dean George Griffin Honored

More Laurels for Coach Alex

Dean George C. Griffin, 1922 C. E., was the recipient of a beautiful 1948, black four-door, de luxe Plymouth sedan, delivered to him during the last week of September, as a present of affection and highest esteem from his 1922 classmates, his Navy associates, and other close friends from among the alumni and in general, who had learned about the grand award that was to be made.

William A. Alexander, affectionately known as "Coach Alex" to all Georgia Tech alumni, students and the sporting world, has been accorded just about every honor available for an individual in his position.

The latest laurel to come his way was bestowed by the National Touchdown Club of New York City, on November 15.

The club's award is given annually "to 'Coach Alex' the individual voted as having done the most for football over a long period of time."

Coach Alex, who has been connected with athletics at Georgia Tech since his first year on the team in 1907 (except for World War service overseas in 1918) became head football coach in 1920. He succeeded the famed John W. Heisman.

In addition to being the Coach of the Year in 1942, he won the coveted Stagg Award (in honor of Alonzo A. Stagg) in 1946 and was the first coach to put teams in the four major bowls — the Rose, Cotton, Sugar and Orange.

For many years he served on the rules committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and is responsible — directly and indirectly — for many of the progressive changes in the rules.

An example of his service was in 1932 when he and two others — Bob Zuppke and Stagg — recodified the NCAA rules with an eye toward making the game safer. The flying block, the flying tackle, and other such maneuvers were outlawed. Also written into the code at that time was the rule which made the ball dead automatically when any part of the runner's body — except the hands and feet, of course — touched the ground. That eliminated the excessive piling-on prevalent J n those days.

Warmly beloved by the Georgia Tech alumni, students, faculty members, Navy associates and a host of other friends, and eminently deserving of the very best of everything in life and the affections of all, Dean Griffin has devoted his outstanding energies and interests, throughout his life, for the benefit of others; and he most truly merits every good thought and award.

On October 5, this year, A. R. "Buck" Flowers, Jr., 1922, President of the Birmingham, Ala., Georgia Tech Club, sent the Alumni Office a copy of the Resolution that was affectionately and unanimously adopted in honor of Dean George C. Griffin, at the summer meeting of the Club at which a full attendance of about 80 members passed the resolution, as follows: A RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE BIRMINGHAMGEORGIA TECH ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AT ITS MEETING ON MAY 14, 1948 WHEREAS, George C. Griffin, is now serving as Dean of Students at the Georgia Institute of Technology and, WHEREAS, He has served the Georgia Institute of Technology for a long number of years, in an unselfish, faithful and intelligent manner, which has always reflected credit to the School and, WHEREAS, He is continuing to serve the School in such a manner in his present capacity, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Birmingham-Georgia Tech Alumni Association wishes to acknowledge the excellent and loyal ability and service of Dean Griffin, and further wishes to express its appreciation for his attitude of loyalty to Georgia Tech.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Resolution be spread on the minutes of the Association, and that a copy be furnished to the President of Georgia Tech, The National Alumni Association and to the Press.

Signed: A. R. FLOWERS, JR., President The Birmingham-Georgia Tech Alumni Association

ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING

(Cont'd)

President Westbrook reported on the various ceremonies, and meetings, at which he had represented the alumni, since taking office.

A resolution was read by Mr. Oscar Davis, Vice President of the Alumni Association, in recognition of Jack Thiesen's twenty-five years of faithful service as Executive Secretary of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association. This was followed by another resolution in his honor as read by Dean C. L. Emerson, President of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation.

These admirable resolutions are a part of the minutes, and they are published under another article in this issue of the ALUMNUS, in commemoration of Jack Thiesen's services to the alumni, and to Georgia Tech.

Receptions Honor Dr. Brittain Receptions in honor of Dr. M. L. Brittain, President Emeritus of Georgia Tech, on the occasion of his eightythird birthday and the publication of his new book, "The Story of Georgia Tech," were held on November 11 and 12, in Atlanta, at Davison's and Rich's, respectively.

The receptions were given on the dates and the order as stated, and each was a lovely and most hospitable occurrence, attended by hundreds of prominent friends, alumni, students, and faculty members, from Georgia Tech and other outstanding institutions of learning.

Dr. Brittain's book is most interesting and provides highly enjoyable reading not only for the alumni, faculty and students of the college, but for all others as well. It may be obtained at Rich's or Davison's Department Stores, the Georgia Tech College Inn, in Atlanta, and bookstores, in general; or from the University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, N. C. The 346-page book is handsomely bound in gold linen cloth and sells at $4.00.

Georgia Tech National Alumni Association and Foundation Confer Anniversary Awards Upon Nat'l Alumni Secretary, R. J. Thiesen In commemoration of his twenty-five years as Executive Secretary of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association and for his number of years of services to the Alumni Foundation, R. J. "Jack" Thiesen, 1910 E. E., was awarded the two resolutions on this page, beautifully designed; and handsome gifts, in addition, by the National Alumni Association and the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, during the November fifth and sixth Home Coming celebration at Georgia Tech.

President Joe Westbrook of the National Alumni Association presented the resolution from his organization, upon the conclusion of the November fifth annual business meeting; and President Cherry L. Emerson of the Alumni Foundation followed with the resolution from his association, and added quite another substantial gift, for past services to the Foundation.

Between the halves of the Georgia Tech-Tennessee game on November sixth, President Joe Westbrook introduced Vice-President, Oscar Davis of the Alumni Association, over the television set-up on Grant Field, and Mr. Davis presented Jack Thiesen with a handsome silver tray and silver ice bucket.

Mr. Thiesen was taken by surprise and was quite overwhelmed by it all, including the "Jolly Good Fellow" salute

by Georgia Tech's excellent band.

His response reflected his deep emotions, and humility in his statements that it was the alumni as a whole, the past and present officers and trustees of the Alumni Association and the Alumni Foundation, officials of Georgia Tech and his loyal co-workers who really merited the honors; and he expressed his heartfelt thanks to all of them. His very sincere acknowledgments to the respective Alumni Board Trustees were expressed in separate letters, copies of which are as follows: November 11, 1948 To the Board of Trustees Georgia Tech National Alumni Association J. J. Westbrook, President Atlanta, Georgia My dear Good Friends and Associates: It was so very generous and so genuinely kind of you and our many other fine alumni, to confer upon me your grand and ever to be cherished, resolution; and your other wonderful and treasured gifts, during our 1948 Home Coming celebrations; for which, and for your always gracious considerations, please accept my heartfelt thanks.

I shall ever be grateful to you and may I state, in all humility, that I'll strive always to be worthy, somehow, of your trust and noble thoughts.

You and all of our other good, loyal alumni are, after all, the ones who deserve the recognitions and the best of all honors, for you have most capably and ever willingly helped to develop and sustain everything of real worth for Georgia Tech, our Alumni Association, and our individual alumni.

I doubt if I shall ever overcome my deep emotions — nor will I ever want to — as brought about by your expression of devotion, exceeding kindness and outstanding generosity; and otherwise extremely considerate commemoration of my twenty-five years as Executive Secretary of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association. May good Providence grant that I shall always justify your confidence.

Ever sincerely yours, Signed: JACK THIESEN

Georgia Tech, now in its sixtieth year, celebrated Home Coming on Friday and Saturday, November 5 and 6.

The best Tech spirit seen in many a day was prevalent among the many who came to see what their old school was doing, talk and renew acquaintances with old friends and compare thinning hair lines and bulging torsos.

The week-end got under w a y with a business meeting of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association at 5:00 P . M. Friday. About 60 Alumni were present for this. Each one introduced himself to the others. This meeting was conducted by Joe Westbrook, '29, President of the National Alumni Association. Reports were given by t h e various officers of t h e Association. Harry Baker, '35, President of the Research Institution, gave t h e meeting a brief glimpse of progress being made in research. Oscar Davis, '22, r e ported on t h e Student Activities Building Committee trip recently made. Dean Cherry Emerson, '08, closed the meetAward Acknowledgment to Foundation Trustees (Continued from opposite page) may I ask that you kindly accept this letter as an expression of my heartfelt thanks, with t h e knowledge that t h e best of all good words, unfortunately not at my command, are entirely too meager to convey m y thoughts of gratitude and high esteem to each of you.

The honors that you have so kindly bestowed upon me should truly be yours, not mine, for you are t h e ones, certainly, who have always supported our every good undertaking and who have so ably helped to mold so much and so well for Georgia Tech and for our Alumni Associations.

The pleasant duty and distinct privilege of having served as your alumni representative for twenty-five grand years is, in itself, a genuine reward; and I wish that I were really worthy of your splendid tribute, which surely is a goal to which I shall always t r y to aspire.

Most sincerely yours, Signed: JACK THIESEN

Colors and identification cards were given to all those present and each class h a d its table so all could sit together. The weather, which h a d been threatening all morning broke out into a bright sunshiny day.

The game (Tenn-Tech) started at 2:30 and unfortunately went to t h e visitors, 13-6. The field was wet which didn't help t h e Tech attack, but the team outplayed Tennessee all the w a y and most Home Comers didn't take t h e loss too hard. (See Sports writeup this issue.) (Cont'd next page)

(The foregoing- events are given in chronological order)

GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT Through the kind co-operation of R. D. Cole, B.S. in M.E., 1922, of Atlanta, the valuable alumni file of Georgia Tech's annual, the BLUEPRINT, is now complete from 1908 to date, with the exception of the 1914 volume.

Mr. Cole located copies of four early annuals which were missing from the alumni BLUEPRINT list; and he most loyally and kindly presented the volumes to the Alumni Association, during November.

It is very much hoped that some of our other alumni, somewhere, may be able to furnish the alumni office with a copy of the 1914 BLUEPRINT if an extra one is obtainable.

The Alumni Association at Georgia Tech will be pleased, indeed, to pay for the expense of obtaining the volume which is so greatly needed.

TEXTILE STUDENTS FETED A group of seniors in Textile Engineering attended the Southern Textile Exposition in October, through the courtesy of Georgia Tech Alumni in Greenville, South Carolina.

The Exposition annually draws a tremendous crowd from all over the country and hotel space being out of the question, Tech Alumni took over and slept, wined, and dined the seniors from Tech. All of them spoke highly of their treatment and a word of thanks is due the Greenville Tech Club.

PIONEER BAND GROUP DINED Shortly before the beginning of the present football season, M. A. "Mike" Greenblatt, President of the Fulton Paper Company of Atlanta, gave quite a sumptuous luncheon at the Mayfair Club, in honor of a group of the original Georgia Tech band members, and other interested friends.

Genial and hospitable Mike recalled the 1910 days when he was invited by R. L. "Bedie" Bidez, T.E., 1912, to help with the organization of a Georgia Tech band. Bidez, then a student, had already laid the groundwork for the formation of the band and he was also leader of the Tech orchestra and Glee Club from 1909 through 1912. Mike became the band director and he and Bidez developed a group of ambitious, student musicians into Georgia Tech's first band.

"When we played at a football game," Mike stated, "we struck up tunes and kept playing continuously, in addition to the fancy marching and tooting between the halves; and many were the times when there were flecks of crimson on the mouthpieces of the instruments, at the conclusion of the games."

Coach W. A. Alexander, C.E., 1912, beloved athletic director at Ga. Tech., was present and related a number of humorous anecdotes about the first group of bandsmen.

Paul R. Yopp, M.E., 1916, District Manager Babcock and Wilcox Co., Atlanta, another pioneer musician and former band manager, also gave some interesting highlights of the band, during his time at Tech. A distinguished Atlanta attorney, Starr Peck, added that he was a "ringer" in the trombone section in which Mike specialized.

Other guests were: Dr. Al. Weinstein, author of the fastselling book, "Barbed-Wire Surgeon"; Jack Thiesen, National Alumni Secretary of Georgia Tech; Dean George Griffin, Ben Greenblatt (Mike's son), Sam Levy, Dr. Herbert Shessel (Mike's son-in-law), and Chick Hosch, public relations manager of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association.

The very happy occasion was arranged by Mike Greenblatt as a movement toward the organization of the pioneer and other Georgia Tech band members into a good fellowship and band-supporting group of alumni and other friends, in the interest of Georgia Tech.

HOME COMING AND REUNIONS

(Cont'd)

At the half, both the Tennessee and Tech bands put on good shows; Jack Thiesen was presented silver awards

by Joe Westbrook, President of the National Alumni Association and Oscar Davis, Vice-President; and the now familiar Yellow Jacket went through its loops and rolls.

At 7:30 P. M. the Class of 1928 held its twentieth Reunion Dinner Party, at the Georgia Tech Dining Hall. Jack Holman. Class Secretary and Ed White organized this group. Jack came all the way from New York to be with his classmates; many of them from other distant points.

Approximately 75, including wives and d^ites, were present for the dinner.

The Class of 1938 gathered at Camellia Garden, Saturday night. Jack Nixon was the organizer for this group. He was assisted by Ed Mattingly, Charlie Bickerstaff, and Joe Rickett. Joe Byrd, Tulsa Okla., came the longest distance for this one. "Dutch" Konneman, Dallas, Texas and Morley Hudson, Shreveport, made a long haul to get here, also.

In addition to the foregoing, all fraternities had open house; these were decorated with originality and splash.

The "Ramblin' Reck" contest was held on the morning of November 6; and the Home Coming Dance at the gym was a feature attraction.

The club plans to reach for a goal of 150 members from the Houston area. This group recently presented a beautiful silver punch bowl and service for the President's home at Tech.

The party was a huge success and it was decided to make this dinner dance an annual affair. Those who planned the party and did the organizing are W. Stewart Boyle, '28, Dunson Dunaway, '47, James Dent, '35, and Howard Tellepsen, '34.

KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE The Kingsport Georgia Tech Alumni Club met at the Kingsport Inn on October 20th. Twenty-six Tech men attended and saw pictures of the Tech-Washington and Lee game. Six seniors from local high school teams were guests of the Club.

MACON, GEORGIA On Tuesday, September 14th, the Macon Alumni Club had the first meeting of its 1948-49 year. This was the largest meeting so far since we were reorganized two years ago, with 60 men present.

The principal speaker of the meeting was Coach Alexander. Accompanying him were Dean George Griffin and Coach Roy Mundorff.

Coach Alex familiarized us with the new expansion, the new Physical Training Department in which all students participate, and made some encouraging remarks about the present football team.

The Macon Club, learning from past experience about having too few and too many meetings in a year's time, has decided that a happy medium is four meetings a year. Our program has been arranged through next May. The next three meetings are arranged as follows: Col. Van Leer on November 16th Coach Dodd and Assistants on Feb. 7, 1949 Dean Chapin on May 7, 1949 This gives us a well rounded program.

Officers are: Julian H. Turner, '23, President Ed. Jones, '38, Vice-President Jack Virgin, '32, Sec-Treas.

James T. Kinnett, '29, State Advisory Council Sincerely, J. S. WALTON NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE On September 24, 1948, the Tech Club of Nashville sponsored an open house from 6 P. M. to 12 P. M. at the Hermitage Hotel. This party preceded the Tech-Vandy game which Tech won handily 13-0.

The evening started slowly but around 8:30 to 9:00 P. M. the crowd began to gather on the gaily decorated veranda and from then on the Tech spirit built up to a fine degree and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

"Ramblin' Reck" was sung at least 1,000 times.

Familiar figures present were Col. Blake Van Leer, President of Georgia Tech, Stumpy Thomason, Dutch Konneman, Buster Harris and many others.

at the family

burial

Before his death he expressed the wish that friends contribute to the Adair-Oldknow Scholarship Fund at Georgia Tech, instead of sending flowers; and through his gracious thoughts, loyalty, and devotion, that most worthy scholarship fund was bountifully augmented.

Stanhope Tutwiler was born in Sanford, Fla., Jan. 15, 1887. He spent his boyhood in Savannah and he was graduated from the Georgia School of Technology in 1910. For 34 years he was associated with the construction business.

In 1934 Mr. Tutwiler and J. Doyle Butler formed the Capital Construction Company. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, Alpha Tau Omega social fraternity, and the Masons.

Surviving are his wife, the former Miss Mary Howerton; two sons, W. S. Tutwiler, Jr., and J. Robert Tutwiler, and a sister, Miss Frances Pope Tutwiler, Asheville, North Carolina.

A CLASSMATE'S CONDOLENCE Among the many kind and loving expressions to the family, the thoughts of his classmate Frederick W. "Fritz" Hausmann most beautifully conveyed the messages that were in the hearts of Stanhope Tutwiler's numerous friends, when Fritz Hausmann wrote so wonderfully as follows, on September twenty-third, 1948, to Mrs. Tutwiler: "Dear Mary: It was with profound shock and grief that I learned of Tut's sudden 'passing on.'

It was so significant of Tut's well known devotion and loyalty as an Alumnus of Tech, that he should express such a wish in his last moments. No doubt in his early struggles to get established in his chosen profession, there existed a genuine interest in students who would be dependent upon the help of a scholarship, to be able to realize their ambitions to become a "Tech Man" and graduate. His action and wish may set a precedent and custom that will eventually help a great number of young men to become engineers.

"I am sending a check to the Scholarship Fund in his memory, in conformance with the desire of his heart. We cannot know, but we may surmise and trust that not even the price of a single rose shall be lost to his knowledge, and will rise as an incense, from the friends who knew and held him in esteem, to bring a joy to the path along which he is now to travel.

"I think fortunately, and in God's providence, both the boys have had his protection, example and guidance, to the age and time that they may walk as men upon their own.

"My heartfelt sympathy is extended to you and to the boys and all others who loved him; and may a merciful Lord sustain you in the days ahead, in which only shadows seem to be your company and the light of the sun and the joy of a blue sky in May appear far off, yet the peace of the Lord abideth for those who seek it, and do believe, 'In death there is Life and Life, more abundantly."

"Fritz."

UNCLE HEINIE REACHES 93 Georgia Tech's ever active "Uncle Heinie" reached the ripe young age of 93 on Thursday, November 11, 1948.

The retired "Uncle" attributes his long life to the Lord's care and doing as the good Bible says. "If you follow the Good Book," he says, "you will eat the proper food, sleep well, and be moderate in all things."

Uncle Heinie spent the morning of his birthday, as usual, working in the wood shop at Georgia Tech. He only works about five hours a day now, doing research work on California redwood and cypress knots.

John Henika came to Tech in 1901. He retired in 1940, but continues to work 5 days a week in his wood shop at Tech.

Dr. M. L. Brittain celebrated his 83rd birthday on the same days by autographing his recently published "Story of Georgia Tech" at an Atlanta department store.

Sports

Tech running play gets under way against Auburn. Billy Queen, speedy Tech back, made 15 yards on this play to the right side of the line. Leading interference is Joe Cobb (starting block), Zeigler, # 3 5 , Brown # 3 8 .

In the line, left to right, Anderson (e), Coleman (t), McKinney (g), Doyal (g), Bossons (c), # 4 3 , Lupton (t) and Griffin (e).

TECH 13 — VANDY 0 Georgia Tech filled the air with passes and moved up and down the field against Vandy, but could negotiate only two touchdowns, one in the first quarter and one in the fourth.

Vandy had a scoring opportunity early in the first period when Zeigler's punt bounced back to the Tech 9 yard line, but couldn't make any headway. They ended .up on Tech's 20, where Tech took over.

In his first play in a varsity game, Dick Harvin, Tech end, made an excellent catch from between two receivers to score in the first quarter. Dinky Bowen converted. Tech couldn't score again until the fourth period when Jimmy Jordan caught a pass and made a great run of 22 yards to go over. The extra point was blocked.

Between the two scores, Tech drove to the 15 where a field goal attempt was missed, to the 25, where Southard passed to Healy, an ineligible receiver (this cost Tech 15 yards), and again to the 2 yard line where Southard fumbled.

Southard threw 19 passes, completed 9; Brown threw 6 passes, completed 5; Patton threw 3 passes and completed 2. Griffin, Tech left end, caught 4 passes for 110 yards.

Zach Clinard kicked Vandy out of trouble continually.

Vanderbilt made only 3 first downs, all in the fourth quarter. Humphrey's kicks in the second half were a joy to Tech supporters.

TECH 13 —TULANE 7 A highly improved Tulane gave the Yellow Jackets of Tech plenty of what they could barely handle on Saturday, October 2, 1948. Tulane presented a two team system staffed with big men who wanted to win this one. Paul Lea, Tulane sophomore tackle, is one of the best linemen seen around these parts in many a day, and he was seen often in the Tech backfield.

All scoring was done in the first half. The Yellow Jackets moved 80 yards in five plays topped off by F r a n k Zeigler's 53 yard touchdown run. The Green Wave came right back with a 62 yard march. A pass receiver got behind Tech's sideback and was driven out of bounds at the six. The play covered 20 yards. On fourth down, quarterback Ernst pushed over by inches. Davis made the extra point good.

The score was deadlocked 7 — 7.

Tech took the kickoff and moved 46 yards in two plays from their 38. A pass, Southard to McCoy, covered 29 yards.

McCoy got 12 on a run and received a little rough treatment which caused the referee to penalize Tulane to their one yard line. Southard rammed over from there. The extra point was wide.

The game was highlighted by hard line play and Tech fumbles. Tech fumbled 4 times, all recovered by Tulane.

Zeigler played one of his best games, gaining 97 yards total.

McCoy, Humphreys, Healy, Coleman and the rest of the Tech team played fine ball, except for fumbles.

Tulane's Paul Lea, Franz, Svoboda, Price and others presented a formidable array of talent. Tech's trainers will vouch for the roughness of the game.

TECH 27 — W. & L. 0 Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets met their passing match in Mike Boyda and receiver Lukens as Washington and Lee completed 17 out of 37 attempts. They didn't have the touch needed to cross the goal line, however.

Tech paraded practically every man on the squad as they scored one touchdown in the first quarter, two in the second and one in the fourth. 23 linemen and 16 backs saw action.

The first score came after Petit intercepted a Boyda pass on Washington & Lee's 48 and ran to the 30. A roughness penalty on the play moved the ball to the 15. McCoy got six, Bowen added 5; then Zeigler hit the middle for the score. North converted.

The next score followed a 27 yard pass play to Griffin, a 19 yard run by Patton, a four yard run by McCoy, a clipping penalty set them back 15 yards; then McCoy took a pass in the flat and weaved all the way aided by a fine block on the safety man by Brodnax.

The next score was set up by a General fumble. Petit recovered for Tech on the General's 23, a couple of line plays, an 11 yard pass to Joe Cobb, then a flat pass to Queen who simply outran the opposition, gave Tech another touchdown. Bowen converted.

The Generals, trailing 20 points, put on a fine offensive show as they started from their 10 and went to the Tech 10. Passes, Boyda to Lukens accounted for 42 yards of this gain. When they got to the Tech 10, Boyda came face to face with Healy, retreated and ended up on the 27 where he was nailed.

In the fourth quarter the Jackets exploded for 55 yards in 6 plays. Petit got 7, Zeigler added 6, McCoy made a beautiful run of 29 yards, Petit got 6, Zeigler 1, then McCoy faked an end run and lobbed a left-handed pass to Petit who was waiting in the end zone.

Tech drove down again to the shadow of the goal line, but Peek lost 13 on a pass attempt which stopped them for the afternoon.

Washington and Lee made it a very interesting afternoon. They held the ball longer then Tech, running 81 plays to Tech's 56. They gained 166 yards by passing but couldn't click in the clutch. Tech's line limited them to little on the ground and the whole Tech team showed offensive speed and deception which accounts for the score.

Both play guard for the Yellow Jackets and have done much to make Tech's defense one of the most rugged in the country.

TECH 27 — AUBURN 0 Tech defeated Auburn with a touchdown in each period on October 16th and as an added attraction the players and spectators let the fists fly in the biggest free-for-all seen on Grant Field. The fight was a culmination of a rough game which got out of hand two minutes before the game ended. The fight participated in by about two dozen players and several spectators came to a halt when the Tech band struck up the National Anthem. The fight was ruled a draw by Mr. Average Spectator who stood gaping.

The first score came on a 31 yard pass play from Southard to end Harvin. Bowen converted.

Early in the second quarter Tech moved 59 yards in 7 plays. Petit threw the scoring pass to long Jim Nolan, who juggled the ball away from an Auburn defender then latched on to the ball for the score.

In the third quarter Tech made a fine march of 91 yards in 11 plays with Southard passing to McCoy for the score.

Bowen converted. In the fourth Jordan intercepted a pass on the 40. Brown then passed to Jordon good for 24 yards to the Auburn 8. Zeigler bucked it over on third down.

Bowen missed this one.

Tech reserves again drove to the one but couldn't put it over. The fight followed a couple of plays after Auburn had kicked out from behind their goal line. The game ended with Tech in possession on Auburn's 30 yard line.

McCoy, Zeigler and O'Neil were leading ground gainers for Tech. Jimmy Southard completed 14 of 22 passes for 257 yards to his various receivers. The entire Tech line played fine football all the way through.

TECH 42 — FLORIDA 7 October 23rd looked like a rough day for Tech when Florida after one exchange of punts took the ball and marched 54 yards through Tech's line for a score, kicked the extra point and confidently trotted back to the kickoff again. Florida's Hunsinger did most of the ground gaining during this drive.

The Yellow Jackets weren't too long getting started as they drove 76 yards in 18 plays. Only two passes were used in this drive; one to Griffin for 13 and one to McCoy for 9, both thrown by Southard. Ziegler, McCoy and Queen ran the rest of the distance. Zeigler drove over from the one. Bowen kicked the first of his 6 consecutive points after. Another score was made on a 59 yard drive featuring passes thrown by Brown to Brodnax for 23, Red Patton for 13 and Brodnax again for 11. Zeigler again bucked over from the 3 yard line. The half ended with Tech leading 14 — 7.

It was a good day for Tech as everything seemed to work in the second half. The Jackets made two quick touchdowns in the third quarter mostly on the ground. They covered 60 yards in seven plays and 72 yards in 10 plays.

Southard scored the first one on a 9 yard run when he couldn't find a receiver for his pass. The second one was made after two lunges from the 3 reached the one. A pass to Brodnax was incomplete. Nolan was sent in for Brodnax. Being 6 ft. 8 in. Florida naturally expected a pass to him. Brown threw to Harvin on the other end who waited by himself in the end zone. Three men had covered Nolan.

A blocked kick by Dale Lupton, recovered by Harrison, Tech Fullback, led to the fifth score. Harrison ran it over from the Tech one. Bowen again converted.

Joe Cobb intercepted a Florida pass on their 16. On the first play Bobby North took a pitchout pass and weaved through the Florida team for the touchdown. Bowen kicked the last one to put the game on ice at 42 •— 7.

Tech's entire squad played good football, especially Healy, Pope, Coleman, Matthews, Lupton, Smith, Bossons, and Hook in the line. Zeigler, McCoy, Patton, Queen, Lansing, Cobb, O'Neill, North, Harrison and Humphreys in the backfield turned in good performance.

TECH 19 —DUKE 7 Tech was forced into another uphill battle against the Duke Blue Devils in Durham on October 30, 1948.

On the second play after the kickoff, Jimmy Jordan fumbled; Al Derogatis recovered for Duke on Tech's 22 yard line. Duke failed to gain, Tech took over. Tech sent Buster Humphreys in to kick and it was blocked by Derogatis, recovered by Duke on Tech's 20. A pass netted 19 to the Tech 1. Stephanz ran it over, Souchak kicked the point and the score was Duke 7, Tech 0.

Brodnax blocked Cox's kick which rolled out on Duke's 20. On second down Brown's pass to Brodnax bounced into the hands of Harris of Duke. Duke couldn't go anywhere and kicked out to Tech. Queen ran 43 yards to the Duke 4.

After two plays picked up a yard, Southard's pass was intercepted in the end zone for an automatic touchback. Duke kicked out. Tech came back with a pass Southard to Griffin which covered 48 yards and gave them a touchdown.

Bowen missed the extra point and Tech was behind 7 — 6.

Southard's pass to Brodnax carried to the 10, Queen got 6, Harrison 1 to the 3 Zeigler carried to the 1 foot line for a first down: then went over. Bowen's kick was again wide. Tech led 12 — 7.

Tech drove from its 39 to the 15. A pass to Anderson looked like a score but he came down outside the end zone.

A 15 yard loss on the next play broke up this drive.

Tech again started from their 45 and drove 55 yards on running plays to score. O'Neill, Cobb, Zeigler and Brown alternated to score this one. The extra point was good.

After the game Coach Wallace Wade of Duke said, "Tech is the greatest team I've ever seen."

TECH 6 —TENN. 13 The Yellow Jackets were dropped from the unbeaten teams of the country before a Home Coming crowd of 40,000. The Jackets went down before an alert Tennessee Team 13 — 6, on November 6, 1948 on a wet field.

The d'e was cast when Tech fumbled the opening kickoff; Zeigler fell on it on the 3 yard line. After two plays into the line had picked up about six yards, Zeigler dropped back to kick, the ball slipped through his fingers and before he could recover, Slack of Tennessee had fallen on the ball for a touchdown. The extra point was fumbled and Tech was behind 6 — 0.

The second touchdown was scored shortly after the start of the se"ond half when Littleford tossed a flat pass out to Bob Lund who dodged one tackier and put on a spurt to go the rest of the way. A block on the Tech safety man had given him clear sailing. This play covered 53 yards. Powell kicked the extra point and Tennessee led 13 — 0.

Tech came to life and moved 80 yards during the third period to the Tennessee one yard line. On the second play of the fourth period, Bowen went over for the score.

North's attempt at the extra point was blocked and the score stood 13 — 6, which was the ball game. In the fourth quarter Tech made some gains but couldn't sustain enough drive to reach pay dirt.

The statistics tell the story pretty well as to Tech's determination, but not Tennessee's. They were determined to win this one and played good football in the clutches.

Healy and Coleman played inspired games for Tech in the line. Tech's linebackers, Bossons, Hook and Smith were up to their usual good performance. Tech's backs ran well through the middle but couldn't run around the Tennessee ends. Cobb, O'Neal, Bowen, Queen, Petit, and Patton played fine ball in the Tech backfield. Tech's kicking was hot and cold. They did manage to keep from kicking to Littleford, who is a definite threat on punt returns.
