"These s p e c i f i c a t i o n s added up to j u s t one c a r e e r . . ." 1 WENT from the University of Tennessee directly into the Army. And after the war ended, a lot of serious thinking convinced me that the life work I wanted to follow would have to offer three things: First, a business of my own, preferably one dealing with people I'd enjoy serving; second, a business that would provide genuine personal satisfaction as well as a living, and third, one that would increase my income in direct proportion to my ability and willingness to work. These specifications added up to just one career — life insurance. The next step was to choose a company. So I talked with nine different organizations, and out of this survey three factors emerged to help me decide on the New England Mutual. The first factor was the caliber of New England's men here in Memphis. The second was the company's outstanding training program, and the third, the recommendations of several successful business men. So, in February, 1946, I joined New England Mutual. During my first year I completed two exacting training courses and sold a creditable volume of life insurance. Trips to company meetings introduced me to the company's friendly and able nationwide organization, increased my proficiency, and added greatly to the enjoyment I get out of my work. Now, thanks to the knowledge of the business I have acquired, I am getting solid satisfaction out of serving a steadily growing clientele, and am earning considerably more than I could have earned elsewhere on a salary. John Phillips III and family, Memphis, Tenn.

Recent graduates of our Home Office training course, although new to the life insurance business, earn average first-year commissions of $3600—which, with renewal commissions added, brings the total yearly income average to $5700. From here, incomes rise in direct proportion to each individual's ability and industry. If you'd like information about a career that gives you a business of your own, with no slow climb up a seniority ladder and no ceiling on earnings, write Mr. H . C.

1949 Was Another Good Year for Telephone Users

MORE SERVICE FOR MORE P E O P L E - N e a r l y 2,000,000 telephones were added to t h e Bell System in 1949. This m e a n t service not only for m a n y people w h o did not h a v e a t e l e p h o n e before b u t it also increased t h e value a n d usefulness of your own p a r t i c u l a r t e l e p h o n e . Y o u can call m a n y m o r e people — and m a n y m o r e can call you. T h e r e are now m o r e t h a n 5 0 % more Bell telephones t h a n at the end of t h e war.

IMPROVEMENTS IN LONG DISTANCE

Long Distance grew steadily better in 1949. The average time to complete out-of-town calls is now down to little more than a minute and a half. Nine out of ten calls go through while you hold the line. Over many routes, the Long Distance operator dials the distant telephone direct. It's faster, friendly, courteous service all the way.

BETTER LOCAL SERVICE-The over-all quality of telephone service continued to improve in 1949 and it keeps right on getting better. There's faster, clearer, more accurate service on millions of local calls.

275,000 NEW RURAL TELEPHONES

were added by the Bell System in 1949. 1,300,000 have been added since the war — a truly remarkable record of rural development by the Bell System. Great gains were made also in the quality of service. Fewer parties on the line. Many thousands of new-type telephones put in. A higher proportion of our farmers have telephones than in any other country in the world.

CONTRIBUTION TO PROSPERITY -

A l l of

this expansion and improvement in telephone service provided work and wages for many people outside the telephone business. More than $1,000,000,000 was put into new facilities. Western Electric — the manufacturing unit of the Bell System — bought from 23,000 different concerns in 2500 cities and towns throughout the country. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM- The best and the most telephone service at the lowest possible price.

Research operations at the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station in 1948-49 soared past the half-milliondollar mark for the first time, according to a report by Dr. Gerald A. Rosselot, and Dr. Fred W. Cox in the fall issue of The Research Engineer, the station's by-monthly journal. The actual budget, $600,000, represented a 28 per cent increase over that for 1947-48, some 83 per cent of the total income coming from outside agencies — private companies, Government agencies, branches of the National Military Establishment, industrial groups, and individuals. According to Dr. Rosselot and Dr. Cox, who are director and assistant director, respectively, of the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station, approximately 72 research programs were prosecuted during the past year, 41 of these being inaugurated in the period ending J u n e 30, 1949. Fields of research investigated included aeronautical engineering, ceramics, chemical engineering, chemistry, electrical engineering, electronics, hydraulics, mechanical engineering, sanitary engineering, etc. Specifically, some of the major programs were concerned with food freezing, water and sewage studies, fundamental battery studies, low temperature research, nylon staple research, and research on weed killers. Other projects dealt with clay products, surface properties of fine particles, vegetable oil studies, cellulose and wood studies, and factice. Also conducted were studies of heat transfer, buff problems, gasoline engine design, seed planters, graphical methods of calculation, helicopter research, wind tunnel model analyses, television problems, microwave propagation, crystal controlled oscillators, hydraulic models of dams, and a-c network calculator uses. Many other projects cannot be mentioned for reasons of security or contractual obligations. Several new special laboratories were developed during the year. These include one of the nation's best micromeritics laboratory, for the study of fine particles; a protective coatings laboratory; a high-pressure chemistry laboratory; a noise and vibrations laboratory; and a highspeed photographic laboratory. New equipment was acquired for several other special laboratories, including those for food preservation, cellulose, vegetable oils, and aeronautical engineering. During 1948-1949, members of the Station staff were credited with 32 publications. The size of the staff grew to 81 full-time persons and 126 others who were employed in part-time capacities. Throughout the year, the Station cooperated closely with the other engineering and scientific schools of the Georgia Institute of Technology. "Research and developmental service to industry through integrated application of Georgia Tech's research facilities is and has been one of the chief purposes of the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station, followed closely by the desire to add to the nation's storehouse of scientific and technical knowledge."

A WORD OF APPRECIATION All of us in the Alumni Office are most grateful for the many beautiful Christmas and New Year messages and other grand wishes that were expressed to us during the holiday season, and we thank you most sincerely for your very kind thoughts.

Open House at School of Industrial Engineering The School of Industrial Engineering formally opened its new facilities for public inspection at ceremonies coincident with the dedication of the Rich Laboratories of Industrial Engineering, on the afternoon and evening of Nov. 18. Following the regular faculty meeting which was attended by most of the members of the Rich Foundation, the Director of the School presented the various members of his faculty. President Van Leer then called on Mr. Richard H. Rich and Mr. Frank Neely for brief addresses. Later an Open House was held in the A. French Building where the School of Industial Engineering displayed its new offices, classrooms and laboratories. Arranged throughout the school were many interesting exhibits of the equipment used for instructional purposes, as well as student projects in such fields as Motion and Time Study, Materials Handling and Factory Layout. Tours of the facilities were conducted by student guides with refreshments being served by faculty members' wives. The School of Industrial Engineering was established as a separate DepartJanuary-February, 1 9 5 0

ment after the war as successor to the Industrial option in the pre-war Mechanical Engineering course. Under the overall reorganization of Ga. Tech about a year ago it was established as a school with Professor Frank F. Groseclose continuing his leadership as Director. The curriculum was recently accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development. Although only four years old the School of Industrial Engineering has already established an enviable reputation. There is an increasing demand for its graduates, trained as they are as engineers familiar with the problems of industrial production. There are presently about 500 undergraduate students and thirty more are taking graduate work towards their Master's degree. Among other contributions of this newest of the degree granting schools at Georgia Tech have been the offering of "Twilight" evening graduate courses for men in industry, a Special Conference conducted for a representative group from the Textile Industry, the publication of various special bulletins relative to Industrial Engineering practices

and the graduation of some 500 Industrial Engineers, many of whom have elected to stay in and around the South, assisting in the industrial development of this region. Last spring the Rich Foundation presented an initial grant of $15,000 to the School of Industrial Engineering to establish improved laboratory facilities for teaching and research in the fields of Methods work. Six rooms have been set aside to house the equipment provided, not all of which has been as yet procured. There have been established however, a Micro-Motion Study Laboratory, a Motion Study Laboratory, a Time Study Laboratory, a Work Simplification Laboratory and a Methods Analysis Laboratory. Already installed and in use are a number of modern T i m e measurement instruments, photographic devices, items of motion picture analysis equipment and machine tools. When complete these laboratories will provide Georgia Tech with one of the finest Industrial Engineering Laboratories to be found.

LETTER FROM EUGENE TURNER, JR. "Dear Gene Turner Fund Friends: Greetings from your recently adopted 'son' whom many of you have never seen! It is a pleasure to have met some of you and I hope that I can meet all of you in the days to come. From my Father, I have heard about the Gene Turner Fund for years but little did I dream that I would ever be associated with it in this intimate fashion. It is a privilege as well as a great responsibility. At the Gene Turner Fund Committee meeting of October 26 we were brought up-to-date on the inspiring way in which you responded to the idea of continuing the work which is made possible through the Fund. I send a heartfelt 'thank you' to all. However, e x p e r i e n c e d American Secretaries, who are thoroughly familiar with China, encounter difficulties in reaching their posts. One has been virtually immobilized for six months. As so much uncertainty beclouds the situation, the National YMCA of China recommended postponement of work originally planned for me in Shanghai. People everywhere are the children of God. Because existing conditions nullify our immediate usefulness to China and because Burma wholeheartedly wants and urgently needs persons of our talents, Margie and I are glad to begin our work in Rangoon. Burma's eighteen m i l l i o n people (predominantly Buddhists) recently received their independence. The National YMCA is highly regarded and the religious climate is an especially favorable one in which to pioneer and to work to further the achievements of Christianity. In Rangoon, the Capital City of half a million, my assignment is to establish a model American type Boys' Work program, to stimulate the wide-spread development of boys' clubs, to train native leadership, and to aid in the growth of an indigenous, self-sustaining YMCA movement. Several more months of study will be required before Margie and I can use Burma's language effectively. But as we study we anticipate the pleasure which we will have when we are actually extending to the people of Burma the good will and the Christian service which you want us in your behalf to extend. Sincerely yours, Signed: EUGENE A. TURNER, JR."

PRESIDENT VAN LEER MAKES RAPID RECOVERY FROM OPERATION Colonel Blake R. Van Leer, President of the Georgia Institute of Technology and a veteran of World War I and World War II, underwent an operation at Lawson Veterans Administration Hospital, Chamblee, Ga., on Friday, January 6, 1950. Surgeons removed a blood clot which developed between the brain and skull as a result of an accidental injury on the head a few weeks before. The operation was very successful and Colonel Van Leer will resume his duties after a period of recuperation and rest. He returned to his home on Thursday, January 12. Numerous "get-well" messages from all parts of the United States poured in to the hospital after the operation, including messages from Governor Herman Talmadge of Georgia; Hon. Hughes Spalding, Chairman of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia; Officers and Trustees of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Assn., and Alumni Foundation; General Alvan C. Gillem, Commanding General of the Third Army; Graham Jackson, the world-famous entertainer; engineering societies; veteran's organizations; university presidents; alumni; and faculty and students of Georgia Tech.

JOHN F. "JACK" GLENN NAMED TO ALUMNI BOARD At the Thursday, January 12, meeting of the Trustees of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association, President Oscar G. Davis, of the Association, officially confirmed the appointment of Mr. John Fitten "Jack" Glenn, B.S., Gen. Sci., 1932, as a Trustee of the National Alumni Association. Mr. Glenn succeeds former President Joe Westbrook on the Board of Trustees. The latter was appointed by President Van Leer of Georgia Tech to the Board of Directors of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association, following the completion of his second term as alumni president, on September 1, 1949. In addition to being an outstanding student, Mr. Glenn made the honor roll; and was a member of the Anak Senior Society and other leading student organizations, and manager of the football team in his senior year. His illustrious father, Mr. William H. Glenn, Sr., M.E., 1891, was a member of the old Board of Trustees of Georgia Tech, a founder of the original Alumni Association, and an early recipient of the Alumni Distinguished Service Award, to mention but a few of his high attainments, in addition to being one of the foremost citizens of Atlanta and the South. Jack Glenn was a full lieutenant in the Navy during World War II; and, like his father, he has been active in Georgia Tech and many other civic affairs. He is a partner of Courts and Company, in Atlanta.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

LET'S TALK ABOUT CLUBS Oscar G. Davis, President, Ga. Tech National Alumni Association Only yesterday—just five short years ago — there were about 20 Georgia Tech Alumni Clubs. Today, there are some 60 Georgia Tech Alumni Clubs in cities all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from deepest South to farthest North. Alumni Clubs are active in cities from huge New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to slightly smaller but just as important, Albany, Georgia. That, fellows, is healthy growth, and is concrete evidence of good work on the part of Messrs. Thiesen, Beard and Ector of the Alumni Association and Foundation offices. I'd like also to give a full measure of credit to Coach W. A. Alexander, Dean George Griffin, and President Blake R. Van Leer, because one or more of these three have been on hand at most club meetings the past couple of years. Yes, all these folks are doing a great job for Tech and her alumni, but what they want, is to do a far bigger, better job. They want more clubs, and all clubs functioning aggressively and actively. But this they can't do without the help of Tech men everywhere. The Alumni Office wants to hear many calls for help from alumni in those cities where, presently, there is no Tech Alumni Club. Just let the Alumni Office know that you want a club started in your city and help will be promptly forthcoming to you. Jack Thiesen, Roane Beard, and Howard Ector know all the ropes and will be more than delighted to show you how to pull 'em. Perhaps you are asking, "Why all this space and emphasis on Alumni Clubs?" Because Alumni Clubs are truly the life blood of alumni spirit and activity. They will serve to keep alive the old

college Spirit, the bonds of the past, and ties of the present day. The Alumni Clubs benefit both alumni members and their Alma Mater, Georgia Tech. They are the best means of post-graduate contact and liaison between graduate and school. Now, just how and why does the Club manage to do all this? For brevity's sake let me enumerate in the old 1-2-3: 1. For the alumni, the Club gives: — Fellowship with friends of a common background and p r e s e n t interests. — Provides excuse and setting for good fun with good food. — Keeps Tech men in touch with what goes on these days at the old school, all the way from football to such things as "what has become of good ole so-and-so?" —• Makes possible valuable business contacts with friends, old and new, who talk the same language. — Provides a happy means of welcoming to the community, Tech men who move there. 2. From Georgia Tech's standpoint, the Club provides: — A means of maintaining personal touch with the graduates. It is a practical, easy matter through a Club, to meet with a group of Tech men to offer them an interesting program or present matters for discussion. — An aggressive, alert Alumni Club can interest promising high school graduates, whether athletes or not, in Tech and advise them as to proper procedure for entrance. — Alumni Clubs often offer scholarships that make it possible for some fine boys of the community

OSCAR G. DAVIS

to get the education they want at Georgia Tech. — Alumni Clubs effectively serve to keep the name and reputation of Georgia Tech alive and respected in the community. Through them and their members, people of influence can learn what Tech offers and what Tech needs. — Alumni Clubs can be of great service to the Alumni Association and consequently to Georgia Tech, by seeing that its members are active to the extent of paying dues and contributing to the Alumni Roll Call. All of which adds up to the fact that any city, large or small, where there are Tech men, should have an Alumni Club. If you, a Tech man, are in a city where no club exists today, get together with an old Tech buddy or so and drop a line, asking for organizational help, to Mr. Roane Beard, Manager of Alumni Activities, Georgia Tech Alumni Office.

Technical Institute Makes Great Progress Established by the Board of Regents on March 28, 1948, as a unit of the Engineering E x t e n s i o n Division of Georgia Tech, the Southern Technical Institute at Chamblee, Ga., in suburban Atlanta, has made a really remarkable record on which, Director Lawrence V. Johnson and his staff are to be highly congratulated. The Institute had 12 faculty members and an enrollment of 166 students on its opening day. At the start of the present school year, the faculty had grown to 30 members and the student body to 413. When the school opened, it was equipped with two laboratories. January-February, 1950

Today it has 22 and is looking forward to the establishment of several new ones in textile technology. At its first commencement exercises on September 6, 1949, the Institute graduated 55 students in seven different technological fields, and all these graduates have obtained excellent technical positions in industry with beginning salaries ranging from $200 to $325 a month. Many of its December graduates already have accepted good positions and will report for duty upon graduation. The Extension Unit is designed for the student who is not particularly in-

terested in the theoretical side of engineering as needed for original research and design but is interested in a condensed technical course of applied engineering which qualifies for high-paying technical positions in industry. Any complete course at this two-year college may be finished in eighteen months. The Technical Institute prepares the student to enter into and advance in the engineering field of his choice. Although, as a graduate of a two-year college course he is not a full engineer, there is no reason why, by hard work and further study, he cannot advance to top positions.

ALUMNI PROMINENTLY MENTIONED Count D. Gibson, head of the Department of Geology at Georgia Tech for 12 years, and J. Cleve Allen of Coral Gables, Fla., B.S., 1931, are serving as officials of Rotary International, worldwide service organization, for 1949-50.

Thiesen National Alumni Association Georgia Institute of Technology Dear Jack: The annual election meeting of the Georgia Tech Club of Philadelphia was held December 2nd, at the University Club. The new officers for 1950 are: President, D. A. Worrell; Vice-President, W. B. Ashby; Secy.-Treas., R. W. Pries. The highlight of our meeting, at which fifty Tech men of the Philadelphia area were present, was an address by Col. Blake R. Van Leer. It was certainly a most interesting and most enjoyable presentation, and when the meeting was open for discussion after his talk, the questions evinced a deep appreciation for the many changes and improvements which have been wrought in Georgia Tech and its physical facilities in the past few years under his able and most capable leadership. Col. Van Leer told us at the meeting that Bobby Dodd and Mr. W. A. Alexander are expecting to be in New York in January, and if it could be conveniently arranged we would like to have them speak at a meeting of our Club at their convenience. Won't you please let me know what might be arranged? Sincerely, RALPH W. PRIES Secy.-Treas.

SOUTH TEXAS (Cont'd) of the many changes of the last few years, and gave a very enlightening discussion of the Alumni Foundation, its purpose and its activities. Upon concluding, he answered many questions about the school and the faculty. From the character of the questions it was obvious that, in most minds, the professors were kindly remembered.

Speaking of football, Alex "Cowboy" Shaw, '41, was among those present. J. W. FRYER, JR. Secretary

Kingsport, Tenn. The Georgia Tech Club of Kingsport, Tenn., met at Hall's Restaurant on December 6, 1949. Guest for the occasion was Roane Beard, Manager of Alumni Activities, who told the Club some facts about Tech and its plans. Talk centered around football and Tech's great win over Tennessee which naturally left the Kingsport group happy. The Tech-Georgia football film was shown and was enjoyed by all. Arthur Coffin, Club President, arranged the meeting.

JIMMY JORDAN WINS AWARD A special award was made for "a most valuable contribution" to Georgia Tech fortunes during the past football season. This award was made in the name of Forrest Adair, Jr., and was presented by Athletic Director W. A. Alexander to Halfback Jimmy Jordan, 138-pound senior halfback. "When a football player willingly sacrifices a lot of offense and the glory that goes with it," Coach Alex said, "and when he does his job in great style, it is time that player had recognition. "In my opinion a man is not a football player until he can block and tackle and take on the best. Jordan also undertook the most important job on a team. That as safety man. He did his job well. He made fine gains when the pressure of the opposition was at its fiercest. And it is with a great deal of pleasure that I make this award to Jordan."

Births

Deaths SCHOOL MOURNS THE LOSS OF "Y" OFFICE SECRETARY Tech students visiting the YMCA recently have found a friendly, cheerful, always smiling face missing. Miss Gladys Hawes, office secretary of the Tech YMCA for the last twelve years, passed away Monday, November 28. Alumni join the student body in mourning the loss of Miss Hawes, who was always willing to go out of her way to make each day a little more cheerful for each student with whom she came in contact. She has left behind her an atmosphere of cordiality and wholehearted co-operation w h i c h is unrivalled anywhere on the campus. Never was she too busy to be concerned with the problems and tribulations of Tech students. It has truly been said that Miss Hawes had a real love for Tech students. Professionally she was possessed with a passion for accuracy. She was never willing to do a halfway job on anything but rather preferred to tackle the job over and over until it was perfected. Unprofessionally her work was typified most by her ability to understand students and by her loyalty to the students. To the occupants of the YMCA Dormitory she was more or less of a housemother. When the fellows brought their dates over, the first step was the introduction to Miss Hawes. When they lacked the money to have dates, again Miss Hawes was the first stop. She was possessed of an amazing memory. It is said that she almost never forgot a name. Frequently men who had been graduated five years or more would drop in to see her, and she always had the name on the tip of her tongue. Miss Hawes became sick this summer with high blood pressure trouble and spent six weeks in the hospital.

PROFESSOR DANIEL'S DEATH SADDENS GA. TECH John Lawrence Daniel, retired head of the Georgia Tech Chemistry Department, former dean of the Graduate School, and professor of chemistry, died unexpectedly in a local hospital on Tuesday, January 10. The sixty-seven year old Tech professor was a resident of 505 Church Street, Decatur. Professor Daniel was born in Buckingham County, Virginia. He attended Hampden-Sydney College, where he received his B.A. degree, and Washington and Lee University, where he received his M.A. degree. He began his career by working in New York, but in 1912, he accepted a position as professor of chemistry at Tech. He served in this capacity until 1940, when he was appointed head of the Chemistry Department. This position he retained until his retirement in 1948. During that period he also held the position of Dean of the Graduate School. Professor Daniel was a prominent leader in the organization of the Tech University Center, as well as a deacon at. the Decatur Presbyterian Church. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. William Monroe Spicer of Atlanta, and Miss Elizabeth Daniel of Decatur; a granddaughter, M a r i l y n Kathleen Spicer; and a grandson, W. M. Spicer, Jr.

When she was released from the hospital, the doctors ordered her not to go back to work. In spite of the doctors' orders, she returned to work this quarter, working theoretically only a half day. But when there was still work remaining to be done after the noon hour, she could be found on the job. She remained on the job until one week before her death.

1950 SWIMMING SCHEDULE Time Study Wire Recording Developed at Ga. Tech More accurate industrial time studies may now be made through use of a wire recorder by a method developed at Georgia Tech, according to W. D. Jones, assistant professor of industrial engineering at Tech. Previously, time studies have been made with the aid of a stop watch; and, although important in the evaluation of elements of work for the establishment of wage incentive standards, stopwatch time studies have definite limitations as regards the timing of small elements of a work cycle. In such studies, it is necessary to read the stop watch at the end of each element, post the reading in the proper space on time-study observation sheets, January-February, 1 9 5 0

closely observe the motion path and the rate of movement of the employee being timed in order to rate his productive effort, and post the ratings in the proper place. Timing errors introduced by the reading of decimal-minute watches combined with impossibility of proper rating observations and data postings, introduce sizable inaccuracies. In the method developed at Georgia Tech, however, the time-study man simply talks into a regular wire recorder, keeping his eyes on the employee being tested and tapping on the back of the microphone at the end of each element of work with a tapper worn on the forefinger of the hand holding the microphone.

"IV s Good" — The ball sailing through the air split the uprights to give Tech a one point win over Georgia. "Red" Patton kicking, Sykes holding. TECH 13 —SOUTH CAROLINA 3 The University of South Carolina really threw a scare into Tech's Jackets before finally yielding to two late second half touchdowns. The Gamecocks confidently kicked a field goal in the first quarter then settled down to play a fine defensive game and stuck to the ground when they had the ball. Tech, hoping to rest some of their overplayed men, was forced to use their best throughout the contest. Carolina dominated play in the first ten minutes of the game by making several first downs then forcing Tech to kick when the ball went over. Following a drive which Tech halted at the 20, Killoy came in to kick a beautiful field goal on fourth down for a 3 point lead. Wadiak and Prezioso of the visitors made nice gains to get the ball down close. Tech started a couple of drives in the second quarter, but were stopped by two incomplete passes at the Carolina 27 the first time and on a fumble at the Carolina 44 the second time. The third quarter found a seesaw game with neither team making much headway. Toward the end of the quarter Tech got started and through the efforts of North, who ran like a wild bull, and Anderson, who must have had glue on his hands, were able to get in gear. Starting from their 45, Tech went in 11 plays for a score, featuring short jabs by North and Humphreys and a desperate fourth down catch by Anderson. Crawford sneaked over from the one and Patton added the extra point. After Carolina was forced to kick, Crawford threw to Harvin for 31 yards 16

to the Carolina 21. Two line bucks and two incomplete passes again gave the ball to the Gamecocks. They were forced to kick and Tech came back 57 yards for their final tally. North did most of the gaining, assisted by Cobb and O'Neill. Humphreys went wide from the four for the T. D. Patton missed the extra point. Final score, Tech 13, S. C. 3.

Georgia Tech's gallant team took the big one by the slim margin of one point as "Red" Patton booted his extra point straight through the posts on Saturday, November 26. It was the first time that Tech had won from the Bulldogs by a placement since 1925 when they won 3-0. The Jackets stayed on the ground practically the entire game and clearly outplayed Georgia, particularly in the second half. Prior to the kickoff it was thought that Tech would have to take to the air to win. They disproved this by running up 21 first downs and 276 yards on the ground. Georgia made 9 first downs, 113 yards on the ground, 105 in the air. The Tech line played its best game, outplaying the heavier bulldogs from start to finish. The driving runs of North and Humphreys for Tech and Reid for Georgia were a sight to behold. The kicking of Pat Field for Georgia pushed Tech back repeatedly. The line backing of Bodine and Jackura repeatedly k e p t T e c h backs from breaking away. Defensively for Tech, Beck and Bethea at guards were particularly outstanding, while Griffin, Anderson and Harvin at ends; Coleman, Bradach and Lupton at tackles; and Bossons, who played nearly the entire game, at center gave a fine account of themselves. Georgia scored in the second quarter on a pass from sophomore Mai Cook to Lorendo. The play covered about 55 yards. It should have been broken up, but the sideback made a last minute effort to intercept and misjudged the ball and the Tech safety man was

covering another potential receiver. The extra point was missed, which proved to be disastrous for Georgia. Tech stopped a Georgia drive early in the third quarter and proceeded to dominate the balance of the game. Late in the quarter Humphreys and North combined to go all the way to the one yard line from which Southard scored on a quarterback sneak. Patton kicked the extra point and that ended the scoring. Tech 7 — Georgia 6. The victory can be attributed to the fine line play of Tech, the great running of Humphreys (111 yards in 14 tries) and North (102 yards in 24 tries) and the extra point by Patton. Fumbles by Tech at crucial points and the line backing of Bodine and Jackura kept Tech from a more decisive win.

Georgia Tech can claim that they were prepared for the Southeastern Conference race by the masters of the game of basketball this year. Their preseason opponents included some of the nation's best and though losing three games, the Jackets will profit by the experience and come strong at the end of the season. The Jackets opened with Chattanooga, December 3, then played Furman and Davidson on successive weekends. They were able to defeat these teams by safe and sizable margins. They then started on a midwestern junket where they lost to Bradley and St. Louis and defeated Michigan State. In the latter game, Colin Anderson set a new court record in the Lansing gym by racking up 28 points. Bradley appeared entirely too strong for the Jackets, but St. Louis had a tough time winning as the lead changed hands 8 times in the first half. After Christmas, Tech played in the Dixie Basketball Classic at N. C. State. The first game was won from Wake Forest by a close margin. They then met the ultimate winner, N. C. State, and were able to score only 34 points as against 57 for the Wolfpack. Tech then played West Virginia for third place and won convincingly 63-48. Teams en-

The SEC Is Tough Starting on their SEC schedule, the Yellow Jackets have not fared too well. Of the five games played, only Auburn fell victim to the Techmen.

1950 FOOTBALL CAPTAIN

Georgia freshmen 18 - T e c h freshmen 0 The Bullpup freshmen from Athens really asserted themselves as they ran over the favored Baby Jackets 18-0 on Thanksgiving Day, 1949. The first score came in the first quarter following recovery of a Tech fumble on the Tech 27. Georgia quarterback Fred Bilyeu passed to Jackie Roberts who crossed unmolested into the end zone. Outside of this play, the first half was played on more or less even terms. Tech lost the services of their ace backs Chappell Rhino and Harry Wright and their best defensive lineman, center George Morris in this first half. Georgia scored again shortly after recovering a Tech fumble on Tech's 22. Roberts, Hargrove, and Schichilone drove to the one yard line and on fourth down, Bilyeu sneaked over from his quarterback spot. The third score came in the fourth quarter on an intercepted pass by Bobby Morris, who caught the ball on the 50 and behind good blocking went all the way across. Play was extremely rough as shown by the yardage lost on penalties, 160 for Georgia and 65 for Tech; however, only two players were evicted from the game.
