Straining forward to hear the speaker they were all ears and he was all lungs— but still they couldn't un­derstand him. No wonder

"louder please"—and remarks less courteous —were bywords at old time gatherings.

That was before Western Electric showed the world how to amplify and distribute the voice. Today the Western Electric Public Address System brings every word of the speaker to you, even in the last row of the balcony or on the far edge of the largest crowd outdoors.

And this, like most achievements in voice reproduction, was made possible only by this organization's long experience in making Bell telephones.

RESEARCH About a year ago, a group of Georgia PROGRESS Tech Alumni interested themselves in the

establishment of an Alumni Research Fund for the advancement of research at the Georgia School of Technology and we are proud to say that quite some progress has been made in this very vital connec­tion as shown in a summary of the activities of the fund as carried on succeeding pages of this number.

The foregoing will not come as news to most of you for a complete outline of the undertaking was printed in our April, 1930, issue which was followed by news articles and editorial comment in Atlanta and throughout, the South, together with our efforts along similar lines in May, 1930. We feel, however, that it, will be of considerable interest to you to know of the material progress that has been made to date, in accordance with reports to the alumni underwriters—donators, in fact, more power to their spir­it and the constructive spirit of all of you.

The Cornellian Council Bulletin for January is devoted entirely to the publication of the productive funds that make up its university endowments which now total $24,-020,872.87. Some two hundred fifteen funds are so care­fully invested, by those who "Built Themselves Into Cor­nell," that during the past ten years they have yielded an average return of 5.431 percent. The income from the funds totalled $1,279,509.82 during 1930. Illuminating and educational, to say the least.

Think of the constructive forces behind such funds and be proud of the fact that Georgia Tech, its alumni and other friends are also building for and looking to the fu­ture, as evidenced by their fine contributions to scholar­ship, student loan, book funds and the Greater Tech Fund, all of which have been so magnanimously augmented by the very progressive Alumni Research Fund.

LET US This is the time of the year when the spirit RAMBLE of Ramble and let Ramble must again be dem­

onstrated. The foregoing statement not only applies to the individual but it is most applicable to Georgia Tech and your National Alumni Association.

Our organization must ramble and it needs the active and moral support of each and every one of you if it is to keep up the good work that you have supported and stay in line with the pace set by other alumni associations throughout the United States and the South, in particu­lar.

All of which, of course, brings us to the subject of your Annual Alumni Dues. By this time, no doubt, you have received a letter from us in that very important connec­tion and we have faith in you to feel confident that you will equal or better your record of last year—1930, at that. About forty cents a month isn't a whole lot to the individ­ual hut it is a big amount to the Alumni Association and with the accumulations of those amounts as represented by the payments of dues, about one-third of the annual ex­pense of the organization is met. It is hoped that the day won't be far distant when alumni dues and subscriptions will meet all of the expenses of the association; however, we are proud of your loyalty, and your record, to date, despite occasional happenings which you are big enough to overlook.

Let us repeat that it costs plenty to mail monthly pub­lications, address advance football applications; locate, compile, publish and send out lists on positions available, also to make plates and carry information files and the like. So, if you don't belong, now is the time to JOIN UP, ALUMNI. All of you intend to become active or subscribe; if you do so at this time you will be Ramblin' right along and will he helping us to do likewise.

Problems Discussed By National Student Federation The Annual Congress of National Student Federation of

America was held in Atlanta from Dec. 29 to Jan . 1, when Tech acted as hosts to this group of student leaders from all over the country. Problems concerning the interests of students were brought up and discussed for solution.

The following is more or Less a detailed account of the proceedings of the convention.

The first meeting was concerned with student publica­tions and. was led by Mr. Cough of the University of Southern California. "Student publications play a very important part in the associated student activities on every campus," stated Mr. Cough, "and I believe that this dis­cussion group of publications is one of the most impor­tant matters for our consideration/' Forty schools were represented at this meeting.

The hrst matter mentioned was the make-up of the stall's and the election of editors and business managers. North Carolina, with a weekly, has the editor and business man­ager elected in one large ballot. Johns Hopkins has a bi­weekly and is run to a great extent by politics, with heads nominated by a Board of Control. New York University appoints the members of the staff at the end of the year. Marshall, with a weekly, has the retiring editors pick the incoming. Florida State College for women has a nomi­nating committee for nominating all officers.

In answer to the question, it turned out that 40 of the schools' editors held their positions for the full year, while 3 held them only for a semester.

Thir ty schools had their editors appointed, 10 selected by the retiring staff. Student and faculty control was dis­cussed next. Expulsion of an editor for detrimental poli­cies, was mentioned with Cincinnati giving its method of honorarium at the end of the year and substantial deduc­tions for all offensive editorials.

Thirty-four of the schools represented had a blanket tax on the newspaper at the first of the year and twenty-one had compulsory subscription to the year book. Seniors and Juniors at Washington Square College having their pictures in the year book get it free. Of the twenty-one who had compulsory subscription, seventeen believed their student bodies were in favor of it.

Those not paying their newspaper editors anything numbered 12. Six did not pay their business manager. Eight failed to pay the editor of the year book and five schools over 1500 failed to pay at all.

Only three schools did not have advertising in their year books. Fifteen colleges represented had literary mag­azines, 12 had college comics, 2 had a combination of both, six had scandal sheets.

The athletics discussion group was presided over by Earl Dunlap and the discussion was considered from three an­gles—-that of the athletes themselves, the management of the thing as a whole and various problems that arise under these headings. The subject of Amateurism was fully dis­cussed in all of its phases with Dunlap's own personal views on the question.

The New York University representative made the statement that he felt the group could get nowhere in in­

fluencing the colleges when these colleges have failed to listen to the report made by*the Carnegie Foundation com­mittee which was composed of experts on the subject. He further stated that he thought that the colleges who get the best athletes are the ones wdio pay the most money. The Virginia representative refused to accept this pessimistic viewpoint. Earl Dunlap expressed the belief that great good could be done by discussing the problems of subsidiz­ing and carry the opinions expressed back to the col­leges.

The Cincinnati representative expressed the belief thai they should subsidize athletes after seeing some of the games. North Carolina's man went on record as favoring subsidizing. Delaware did likewise.

Louisiana State stated that they gave more scholarships than anybody lie had heard of doing.

Ticket scalping was next considered from the stand­point of those given athletes and the student tickets. This was followed by systems for picking All-American teams. A vote showed the majority in favor of All-American team selections.

This part of the convention was adjourned with discus­sions on intersect ioiial trips, honorary awards, passes, student and alumni control of athletics, and college spirit.

At the meeting held January first various reports of the sectional groups were first heard. The question of eli­gibility followed. The honor system was next to be dis­cussed and it was found of the 67 institutions represented ai Hit1 meiding, 40 purported to have honor systems. Only 23 had confidence in their honor system.

This consideration of the honor system concerned per­sonal habits as well as scholastic endeavors. On the mat­ter of drinking and drunkenness the Centre representative stated that "while a drunkard is an outcast socially, we have quite a bit of what is known as 'gentlemanly drink­ing' in Kentucky." Cheating in class room had its usu­al to and fro, pro and con discussions.

The question of who should receive the N. S. F. A. News Release was much discussed in the Friday session. Following this, Mrs. Ross, ex-governor of Wyoming and first woman governor in the United States as well as Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Committee, ad­dressed the conference on the subject, "The Tariff and Re­lated Problems."

After the conclusion of Mrs. Ross' speech the motion was carried that the N. S. F. A. indorse the character building of administering student aid on a business basis instead of paternalistic basis and assist them in gaining student loans. The report of the Athletic committee was received and motion made that the Sixth Annual Conference de­plore the subsidizing of athletes; that it go on record as favoring the awarding of all scholarships on the same basis regardless of partcipation of extra-curricula activities; and that the N. S. F. A. authorize its officers to make a thorough study of the possibility of staging nation-wide conference of athletic directors, college presidents and student leaders on the question of commercialism and pro­fessionalism in college athletics.

AERONAUTICS BUILDING ALMOST COMPLETE TEXTILE RESEARCH PROGRESS

185

Finishing touches to the new $100,000 Daniel Guggen­heim School of Aeronautics, a gift of the Guggenheim Foundation for the Advancement of Aviation to the Geor­gia School of Technology, rapidly are being made. The department of aeronautics at the present time is being-housed in the Mechanical Building, but it is planning to move into its new quarters at the beginning of the next semester, on February 9.

Although complete equipment will not have been install­ed by that time, elass rooms, offices, drawing, rooms, and shops, will be ready for occupancy. Specifications for ex­perimental laboratory equipment will consist of two wind tunnels, one nine feet in diameter with a 15-foot propel­ler forcing a jet of air to a speed of 100 miles per hour, and the other to be two and one-half feet in diameter, with air propulsion power of 60 miles per hour.

Flans for this equipment are being drawn by Professor. Montgomery Knight, head of the department of aeronaut­ics, and Professor T. F. Moody. The Larger wind tunnel is to be used for higher research work, but it probably will not be put into active use until next year when a group of graduate students are to be enrolled for instruction leading to higher degrees.

The smaller tunnel will be put into operation for the instruction of students in stress analysis and in testing their models. A well equipped model room with complete sets of wood and metal working machinery will he placed in charge of a professional model maker.

Eighteen students make up the present enrollment of the school which began with the opening of the semester's work last September. These wen1 chosen from among the applicants on a basis of academic standing and personal characteristics. The motto of the school is: "Quality, Not Quantity," and until the course is firmly established and complete facilities installed and developed, no greater number of students will be accepted than is compatible with the adequacy of instruction offered.

These eighteen select students are being given in sup­plement and replacement of the regular subjects required in engineering mechanics, one three-credit hour course in elementary aerodynamics under Professor Moody, and another three-credit hour course in aeronautic problems under Professor Knight.

In the senior year of this course there are two options: one, specialized work in airplane design which will equip the student for work in aircraft factories, and the second, work in aeronautic research which will prepare him for a position in one of the various laboratories, such as those maintained by the government. The course, however, is so soundly based on engineering mechanics and of such a genera] nature, that it would be easily applied in any of the mechanical phases of engineering, it was pointed out.

Georgia Tech is one of the four schools in the United Stales having a school of aeronautics. The course is of the highest rating and the Guggenheim School will be one of the outstanding schools of aeronautics in the country.

Since June , 1926, a testing and standardization service

has been developed very markedly at the A. French Tex­

tile School of Georgia Tech.

Through the kindness and co-operation of different or­ganizations, the laboratory now has facilities for doing an extensive amount of standardization, testing and study of textiles, chemicals and processes.

During the period of 1926-30, projects and test work have been completed in accordance with the following sum­mary :

Standardization and pure science work'.

1. Selection of best types of cotton for most economical

manufacturing into yarns. Determination of quantitative

values of common types of cotton on three methods of gin­

ning.

2. Standardization of rapid-method fading tests on

cloth, in terms of actual sun-tax placed on them in use.

ALUMNI PROMINENTLY MENTIONED

Harry Lacoste Ellerbe, a graduate of '23, has the title role in "Phil ip Goes Forth," a new play on Broadway having recently opened at the Biltmore Theater in New York. "Elurb ," as he will be pleasantly remembered, made for himself an enviable record in Tech dramatic and liter­ary circles. As "Lacoste," he contributed to the Yellow Jacket, and as author of "Sneezer et Cleopatrick," he also gained fame. His unsurpassable impersonations of fem­inine characters in the various Marionette performances will be recalled by many. Harry was on the Technique '20, ' 21 , '22, ' 2 3 ; Yellow Jacket '22, '23, Assistant Editor ' 2 3 ; Architectural Society; Marionettes, Board of Con­trol ' 22 ; President ' 2 3 ; President Tech High Club ' 2 1 ; Second Mention Beaux Arts Competition; and Pi Delta Epsilon.

Ernest Kellner Banner, C, E. '24, was ordained a priest January 25th. The ordination was performed by Bishop Mikell at the All Saints Church, in Atlanta. Mr. Banner is now a mission priest of the Society of St. John the Evangelist.

Ralph J . Hancock, a graduate of the class of '10, was re­cently elected a director of the First National Bank of Ma­rietta at its regular meeting of stockholders. Mr. Han­cock is recognized as one of the leading business men of the state, being president of several large ice industries in that city and Atlanta.

STUDENTS SURVEY THEIR COURSES

At Rollins college, Winter Park, Fla., a committee of eleven students, chiefly upperclassmen, is making an in­tensive study of the curriculum of the college, which, in­cidentally, is about to be revised by the faculty. This com­mittee meets every morning and goes over some one or sev­eral of the courses in the various departments, correlating them with another in the general scheme of the curricu­lum and evaluating each for its content and worth. Rec­ommendations will be made at the conclusion of the study, which will receive serious consideration next month at a conference of distinguished educators, to be presided over by Dr. John Dewey, called to advise on new courses of study.

The students who are making this investigation or analysis are receiving credit for their work and are taking great interest in their deliberations, it is reported. The student body also is said to be actively engaged in dis­cussions.

There is no doubt that the recommendations will be in­teresting, even if their ultimate value is not as great as (expected. In studies of this kind nearly everything de­pends on the personnel of the investigating body, the methods of selecting the group and the influences that surround them. For these reasons their conclusions may either be worth while or biased and valueless. The deter­mination of a curriculum is a matter of the very greatest importance in any institution and the broadest and best thought of the day in the educational world is required in the selection and fitting together of the courses.

BOBBY JONES NAMED ON ATHLETIC BOARD

Bobby Jones, one of Georgia Tech's most illustrious alumni, has been named to membership on the school's athletic board.

The action was taken at a recent meeting. Bobby has been vice president of the Alumni Association for several years, but this is his first official connection with a depart­ment of the school.

Chip Robert, a prominent member of the athletic board, expressed delight with Jones ' election and his acceptance. "The addition of Bobby to the board," said Mr. Robert, "was a very wise step. Not only will his counsel be of much benefit to us, but his brilliant and spotless record as an athlete for more than a decade, will add considerably to the prestige of the board."

President M. L. Brittain, of Tech, also expressed his gratification that Bobby had been added to the board's membership.

"While a student at Tech Bobby endeared himself to all members of the faculty," said Dr. Brittain, "and we have watched his success as a golfer, a sportsman, and a man with considerable pride. To have him as a member of the athletic board is most pleasing to us all."

BIRTHS Mr, and Mrs. William G. Moses announce the birth of

a son, William G., Jr . , on December 19th. Mr. Moses, who graduated in 1922, and holds an M. E. and E. E. de­gree, says that William, Jr . , gives promise of being a great quarterback. ,

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tyre Jones, Jr . , announce the birth of a daughter on January twenty-ninth. Mr. "Bob­by" Jones was a M. E. graduate of 1922 and in addition to his many honors he is the First Vice-President of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association..

COACH ALEXANDER FLAYS SCHOOL POLITICS Coach W. A. (Bill) Alexander threw tradition and

convention to the wind at Georgia Tech's annual football banquet held Friday night January 4th at the Tech din­ing hall, when he announced that the football team would not elect a captain until Fall, when the Varsity squad will select by vote the man who appears to be the best leader.

"We will elect no captain tonight. We are declaring a new order of things. The men who have been awarded letters tonight have won a fine honor. Ordinarily the course would be for them to meet and elect a captain.

"This year we will move differently. All men will meet on an equal plane this spring in the practice at that time. They will meet on that same plane in September.

"About the first of October, after a month of work, a varsity squad of more than thirty men will meet and elect the man they think has worked the hardest and who is best fitted to be leader for their season."

The subtle poison of college politics has been found by Coach Alex to have invaded his athletic body. He said so frankly, and it was for that reason that no captain was elected. He also announced that any coach who, in the future, knowingly permits politics will be dismissed, and any player participating in them will be deemed a trait­or to team and school.

It is interesting to note that Coach Alexander did not mention any particular form of politics affecting the team, but rather made only broad statements as to what part of his department was so corrupted.

"From January 1, 1942, until January 1, 1929, Geor­gia Tech had an athletic average of more than .700," de­clined Coach Alex. "That included every sport.

"From January 1, 1929, to the present the average is about .100, and there is no reason.

"From 1912 to 1929 we had no politics in our athletics. When the football team was returning from the Rose Bowl with the national football championship and the greatest victory ever won by a Georgia Tech team, politics entered into the election of football captain.

"That was the reason. Our athletic decadence dates from that day.

"If I were a player and a man attempted to tell me how to vote for my captain I would smash him one in the face," declared Coach Alexander. "Selfish interests will no longer be tolerated.

"We will have a team that will play as a unit. We will have a team that is strictly amateur in every sense of the word. We will have a team that is positively eligible in its studies. If we cannot win games with them we will lose, but it will be a team that is honest, and one that we can be proud of.

"You can't be selfish and play football." The throng of players and alumni present received

Coach Alex's remarks with cheers that will long be remem­bered in Tech annals. It was a gathering that marked a turning point in Tech and Southern football. Coach Bill Alexander has had many triumphs, but none approached that of Friday night. It was Georgia Tech History.

TECH GRIDMEN IN SPRING PRACTICE DEAN OF VANDY DISCUSSES PROSELYTING

One of the largest squads in the history of football at Georgia Tech reported for spring grid practice on Feb­ruary 9. An incoming undefeated freshman squad of ap­proximately 40 men reported to Bill Alexander, -lack Can­non, Bobby Dodd and company.

Those historic days of 1927 when Stumpy Thoniason, Warner Mizell, Raleigh Drennon and others battled their way to regular posts on the Tornado will probably be re­called when Wink Davis, Black, Galloway and other freshman stars open fire.

A new era has been inaugurated at the Flats and things are pointing to better days with the appointment of Bobby Dodd as backfield coach and Jack Cannon guiding the linemen. The Tornado authorities considered the matter of assistant coaches a long time before they signed those two outstanding athletes to a contract.

Dodd is expected to report immediately after the South­ern Conference basketball tourney that will be held in At­lanta the first part of March. His coining is eagerly antic­ipated by all Tornado enthusiasts.

The loss of six veterans will leave a gap in the Tornado line-up that will be hard to fill. Captain Earl Dunlap, Alternate Captain Tom Jones, Jim Brooke, Hudson Ed­wards, Vance Maree and Frank Speer will be missing when 1931 prospects are checked. Their shoes will be hard to fill and a mammoth task is waiting for Jack Can­non, upon whose shoulders the broad task of molding a line will fall.

A glance at the 1931 prospects for the Golden Tornado will find gaping holes at both tackles. The depar­ture of Frank Speer and Vance Maree will present Jack-Cannon two of his greatest problems.

Two juniors who received the "works" last fall will be considered a long time before first-stringnien are an­nounced. They are Harrison and Corn, who saw quite a bit of service last fall in scrimmage.

Numerous changes might be made when the rough work actually begins. Clint Ezell may be switched from guard to tackle and Casey Jones might find himself switched to guard. He played a great game against Georgia at the guard position. Either Farmer or Neblett may be shifted to a guard position.

Outstanding freshmen who are considered great pros­pects are Lackey, end; Laws, guard; Peeler and Peterson, quarterbacks; Black and Galloway and .several others who might make the grade.

Coach Alexander has planned a session of spring grid work that will not be compulsory, but it will be one that is intended to mold a machine capable of bringing the Tornado back into the first rung of the conference race. The work is being held early in order to avoid a conflict with other spring sports at the Flats. It will continue into March in order to enable Bobby Dodd to be present for the latter stages.

Madison Sarratt, dean of men at Vanderbilt Univer­sity, said recently that proselyting of athletes by a uni­versity or college is "natural and sometimes, in a form, (Men commendable."

"It is only natural for an alumnus to invite a promising boy to his Alma Mater,"' he said. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with the practice of persuading promising students to attend a college or university, provided rigid entrance requirements are enforced.

"11 a man thinks well of his college," Dean Sarratt con­tinued, "it is to be expected that he will want to urge promising boys that he knows to go to it, whether it is his motive to bolster the football team, the school of engineer­ing, or the elocution society.

"More men send boys to college to join fraternities than to play football. As far as the college is concerned, it must remain immaterial what they come for.

"The responsibility of the college to the boy begins only after he has applied for admission. The college must maintain entrance requirements with absolute rigidity.

"People can continue asking boys to come to Vander­bilt as long as they like, providing Vanderbilt does its duty by them."

Referring to subsidization of athletes, Dean Sarratt said, "it is foolish to say that a boy whether he plays on the football team or in the band, cannot accept money for working part time. The only requirement is that the boy exert himself, that he give honestly what ever labor is required of him for his salary."

SCHOOL BAND GIVES CONCERT

The Georgia Tech Band presented a complimentary con­cert on Friday evening, January 23, in the Egyptian Ball­room of the Shrine Mosque. The concert was given for the special benefit of the uniform bodies and officials of the Shrine and the friends and members of the band.

The musicale was one of the most complete concerts ever given by a college band. The program included the following types of selections: heavier overtures, light opera, grand opera, marches, folk songs and college songs. This program was arranged as only a man of Mr. Gar-ing's ability could arrange it.

Georgia Tech is unusually fortunate in having such talent among its student body as is displayed in the ranks of the band. According to Mr. (hiring, the organization has enjoyed one of the most successful years in the his­tory of its existence. This unusual success is mainly due to the complete cooperation of the members and to the untiring efforts of Mr. Garing. Numerous compli­ments were received from Tech alumni as well as from outsiders on the fine showings made by the band during the football season. Their original formations and ex­cellent playing gave the visiting bands some real com­petition.

New Coaching Staff Announced at Annual Football Banquet

Jack Cannon and Bobby Dodd, All-Americans, fc^**^^ appointed to coach Tech's line and backfield, respectively.

r

At the annual football banquet held at the Tech dining hall January 4, enthusiastic affirmation was shown for the athletic coaches at Tech, headed by W. A. Alexander. The affair was not as large as previous banquets, as it was attended by only players, the coaches, and the few alumni who had actually contributed some of their services to the football team. The size of this gathering was necessarily reduced in line with a decision of school authorities to restrict attendance to the number that could be provided for in the dining hall.

Everyone present was surprised when it was decided to wait until next fall to elect a football captain. This de­cision came as the result of a ringing speech by Coach Alexander in which he stated the sad state affairs on the football team due to political influences. He added that this influence has been very prominent for the past two years and that two disastrous seasons have resulted.

Much interest was shown when it was announced that Bobby Dodd, Tennessee's All American quarter, had been signed as backfield coach, and Jack Cannon, Notre Dame's All American guard, as line coach. I t was also announced that Ed Hamm was to succeed Hal Barron as varsity track coach.

Speeches complimenting the players were made by Dowry Arnold, Bobby Jones, "Big Bob" Jones, Chip Roberts, and Red Barron, all Tech alumni with the ex­ception of Big Boh Jones. Big Bob, an alumni of the University of Georgia, promised that Tech would have to "git up and gi t" if they expected to beat Georgia next

year. Then he went on to heap tributes on the head of Coach Alexander. Red Barron recalled a speech someone made at the close of the disastrous 1926 season. "That man told us we made friends by losing games occasion­ally," declared Red. "Well, we have made a flock of friends the past two years—now let's go out and make a few enemies for a change."

The previously announced letter winners were awarded gold " T " insignia, and the senior players were awarded platinum and diamond cuff links by the Athletic associa­tion.

Later on during the banquet, Earl Dunlap, retiring captain, presented Coach Alexander with a fitted Glad­stone case as a gift of the team. At this time Earl ex­pressed his thanks for the honor given him and stated that he hoped for a very successful season next year.

Doctor Brit tain closed the evening by-restating Tech's principle of insisting on scholarship for eligibility on its teams and by placing this ahead of winning or losing.

Following is the complete coaching staff for 1981: W. A. Alexander, head football coach; Jack Cannon, line coach; Bobby Dodd, quarterback at University of Ten­nessee for the past two years, backfield coach; R. A. Clay, freshman football and varsity baseball coach; Mack Tharpe, coach of the Grey Devils; Kenneth Thrash, freshman line coach; Roy Mundorff, varsity basketball coach; Ralph Bullard, freshman basketball coach; Mike Chambers, t rainer; Captain H. W. Robinson, end coach, will be retained unless he is transferred by R. 0 . T. C. orders.

TECH FIVE STAGES GREAT DRIVE

Capping their determined drive on January 31 with a 37-19 victory over the University of Georgia five, the Jack­et basketball team demonstrated to a dubious world that they could "come back". The Tech team got off to some­what of a fame start this year by virtue of injuries re­ceived on their Christmas trip; they dropped the first three contests and looked bad in doing it. The Vander-bilt game marked the turning point when the team ral­lied with a sensational display of fighting spirit and good basketball, defeated the Commodore five, droped a close game to the Bulldog quintet in Athens, and then over­whelmed Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, and Georgia in fine form.

The victory over Georgia's basketmen was witnessed by a highly pitched crowd that packed the Tech gym to ca­pacity an hour before the start, and hundreds were turned away, unable to find standing room. The Georgia squad had won eight consecutive conference games and ruled as favorites in the bitter encounter. The Jacket squad took

fan early lead with Captain Wages and Perkins sinking goals from all angles. At the half the score stood 23-11, and Georgia was beaten in morale. The passing and floor work of the inspired Tech basketeers by far surpassed that of the Red and Black five. Georgia just couldn't seem to get the ball through the hoop and Tech just could. The final score was 37-19, and Georgia's winnig streak over Tech in major sports prevailing since baseball season in 1929 was definitely shattered.

A history of the team's 1930 career would begin with their defeat at the hands of South Carolina. The ser­vices of Captain Wages and Ted Raines, both 1930 stars, had heen lost on account of previous injuries and this loss was one great enough to considerably slow down the one letter-man team left.

The Atlanta Atheltic Club was next to draw the blood of the lamely battling squad. The Jackets put up a game fight against Coach Bean's team and lost 27 to 40,

On their trip into Florida, January 13th, the Yellow Jacket hoopmen were nosed out by the score of 39-31. First one team and then the other forged slightly ahead and the half ended with the tally tied. In spite of the outstanding work of Perkins and Tate, the 'Gator cagers emerged with an eight point lead at the final whistle.

Then came the turning point with Vanderbilt's defeat,, iu which the Jackets showed 100% improvement. Wages and Raines were back in working order and Coach Mun-dorff had evidently been drilling his charges overtime. They showed great promise in winning 44 to 35.

A momentary halt in their belated drive was experienc­ed at the hands of the Red and Black, when the Tech quintet encountered the Georgia five in Athens on Janu­ary 17th, and were stopped by a 39-30 score. The Bull­dogs, holding heavy odds, were at the top of the South­ern Conference standings.

Then a return game was played with Florida in which Tech resumed its march of victory. The Gators fell 32 to 23 before the hard fighting Jackets.

The 37-33 Auburn battle at Auburn, Alabama, was ex­citing because Tech won only by a finish of headlong des­peration. Tech, licked in the first half, was making an uphill drive to equal the Plainsmen's score and it looked like an impossible task. Then all of a sudden the Yellow Jackets transformed themselves into a Golden Tornado, a hurricane, or what is a more likely figure of speech, a wa­terspout whirling and driving in irresistible power. They swept the floor clear) and in the final two minutes scored three field goals to lead the Tigers by 4 points.

Three days later Tech was given another chance at the untouched Georgia laurels, and took the opportunity, as shown above, to silent the long flung jeers of the Universi­ty supporters.

Coach JVIundorff has worked hard with his basketeers and deserves a lot of credit for his results. Captain Ginny Wages and Bill Tate, both veterans, have been holding down the guard positions in fine shape, and the two sophomore flashes, Gooding and Phillips, are showing up exceptionally well at forward, Rill Perkins, the lanky center of the first team, is now leading the conference in individual scoring. Ted Raines, a star of last year, has never fully recovered from a football injury and conse­quently has seen only several minutes of action during the season. As substitutes, McArthur, Tom Jones, Ed Her-ron, and Al Mathes have proved valuable.

COACH INVITES S, C. MEET TO ATLANTA

The disappointment of local track fans—such as there are—over the announced discontinuance of the Tech re­lays may be somewhat palliated by the news that Coach William A. Alexander very likely will invite the 1932 southern conference track meet to Grant Field.

Such a move would happily replace the loss of the re­lays, interesting though they were. An assault OH existing records is not nearly so exciting as intercollegiate compe­tition, the battling of a group of teams, each against the others.

It would seem, in fact, the most plausible explanation of the surprising lack of interest in track and field meets in most sections lies ill the absence of physical combat. To out jump or outrun a man is not nearly so exciting to the average fan as to outbox, out-tackle or even out-wrestle him.

According to Coach Alexander, there are only about four cities in the United States which can assure a crowd in attendance on even the largest track meet. Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles are three of these.

And despite the absence of physical combat, this is somewhat surprising in a sport which perhaps antedates any other nowadays indulged in except boxing and wrest­ling, and these two were included on the programs of the ancient and original Greek Olympiads.

Whether or not the coming of the Olympics to this country in 1932 will serve to stimulate interest in track and field sports to any appreciable extent is problematical. The Olympics always afford a smattering, at least, of the old patriotic spirit.

FRESHMAN BASKETEERS SHOW UP WELL

Winning four out of six of their scheduled contests, the Freshman basketball five continues to display winning form in their engagements with prep school and college heshman teams. Their latest victory was the 3(i-17 de­rision over the Georgia Bullpups at the Tech gym the eve of tbc famous varsity clash.

For tin1 first time in six years the Monroe A. & M. quin­

tet returned home victorious, with a last minute shot, ac­

counting for their 34-32 victory. Then the Tech fresh­

men won from Gordon Insti tute and dropped a close game

to the McCallie five. Auburn's first year hoop squad next

fell 25-22 before the Junior Jackets ' assault, in which Slo-

eiiin scored 22 of Tech's points. Auburn met the freshmen

again the following night, this time in Atlanta, and suf­

fered another defeat of 27-21 at the hands of the now

* found" Gold and White aggregation. This brought the

scene up to January 31 when the Georgia freshmen were

overwhelmed before the crowd assembled for the "big

team" tilt.

Ralph Billiard, new freshman basketball coach, has molded a fine team from his former high school stars. Slo-eiim is one of his most consistent performers, with Brown and Harris showing up well.

FRESHMAN COMPOSES N E W POPULAR SONG

Billy Seimon, popular musician and composer at Tech, has had a popular song published in January. Billy is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and has shown his ability as a piano-accordion player to Atlanta in his appearance with .Jack Lamim and his orchestra at the Paramount Theatre. The song which he has just had published is entitled " I Love You," and will be on sale in Atlanta in about two weeks. The WSB and WGST radio stations in Atlanta have had "I Love You'' played several times "by their stu­dio orchestras and. it has already proven to he very popu­lar. During the week beginning .January 31st, Al Evans played Mr. Seimon's new song as a screen song at the Fox-Theatre.

Other songs Billy lias written which will be published in the near future are "Dream Baby," "Alone," and "1 Choose You."

WRITER SEES FOOTBALL AS A GREAT BUILDER

At this time of the year when most all football activity is made up of discussion, and the sport is receiving more than its share of criticism, a worthy defense presents itself in the form of a writing by Old Timer in the Atlanta Journal , concerning the game's virtue of stamina building. Tt is quoted at length.

"There came to hand a few days ago a letter which was depicted in graphic language a situation of broad human interest. The letter was so well written it would be absurd to change a word. Tt was from the physician in charge of Albert Steiner Clinic for Cancer, and it follows, verbatim, save for the omission of the signature, that being in def­erence to the ticklish and explosive nature of medical ethics:

'Dear Ole Timer: I was among the bunch at Marietta

who so thoroughly enjoyed your talk at the Rotary Club

last Friday. 'Some of the things that you said regarding the estab­

lishment of the characteristics of fortitude, rugged honesty and adherence to the principles of right regardless of im­mediate advantages, jerked my mind back to the fall of 1926.

'T saw a patient here, a man of slight stature, weighing perhaps 125 pounds and giving the impression almost of fragility, certainly inspiring no thought of athletic prow­ess or unusual physical development. This man was do years of age and came in here with a far-advanced, neg­lected, hopelessly incurable cancer of the stomach.

' I was greatly impressed with bis acceptance of the sit­uation, with the quiet, undisturbed state of mind which he exhibited in the face of impeccable evidence of a condi­tion which could only result- in early death. His general amenity was so extraordinary, so unsual for this type of patient that it caused considerable comment among stall' doctors hena

'Just about the time he died, or perhaps a little later. The Journal carried in the rotogravure section a photo­graph of the first Tech football team, and this man's pic­ture appeared therein.

'Of course, the material must be there upon which to work and without basic material all the football training in the world could not make a Bobby Dodd, a Catfish Smith or a Fred Sington, and it might well be that the same characteristics which provided, in a day of beef and brawn, the ability for a 135-pound man to make the Tech team, might- likewise, also, provide the ability to face the business of dying from cancer with imperturbable equan­imity.

'But the observation of this man's attitude fitted in so noticeably well with the thoughts inspired by your talk that 1 am not able to resist the temptation of writing you about i t /

"Yes, dear sir, your unworded but none the less definite­ly stated view must be correct. The football field bad played its part, and a large one, in moulding the character of that man who faced word that he must die with such quiet courage.

"He needed to have courage when a boy to match his small body against bigger and stronger men; he had to have a quota of fortitude and moral stamina to start with. but it was the clash and the crash of practice and of game that enlarged and strengthened those qualities.

"That is the great justification of football. Perhaps more than any other game it exercises, and therefore must de­velop), the qualities of willing self-sacrifice, fortitude and courage/ '
