^srrom the ^ecrelaru A oLJeik . . .

MAYBE you thought like I did; that when the election was over things would sort of settle down to nearer nor

mal, that the dust would clear and we would be able to clear our desk for action. Well, it hasn't been that way here or in Washington, but then we weren't sure of a Republican win or of a bid to the Sugar Bowl: the scurrying continues.

There is no point in denying where the interest lies this fall. Our football team and its coaches have done a magnificent job on the rectangle (I don't know about you, but I am tired of the word gridiron). To date (Nov. 20th), they have risen to the occasion and turned back all opposition. Each Saturday, those of us who are in close contact with the situation have felt like "well, this is the time somebody will slip up on them and knock them off," but even without Ruffin and sometimes Hardeman, they have managed to have enough to turn back their opponent. They have played the game well. They have- won. Coach Dodd was named "Coach of the Week" following the Duke game. The team has ranked near the top by AP, UP and INS in their weekly polls. Several of the players will make "All America." Seldom has a team lived up to advance billing to the extent that the Tech team has. The Sugar Bowl Committee invited them to play at New Orleans about November 1, while the Jackets still had four games to play. We know that you are proud of the boys, and I would like to say that they justify your pride, come what may.

ROLL CALL HITS NEW HIGH

You will be delighted to know that the Sixth Annual Alumni Roll Call, 1952-53, has already established a new record in the number of contributors and the amount of money contributed. Last year's appeal produced 2746 contributors and $36,000.00. On November 20 over 3200 alumni had given better than $37,000 and new members continue to join.

For the past five years our Roll Call has been spread over a period of nine months. This has caused some trouble in the minds of alumni as to when you should contribute; some of us not realizing that it covered such a long period and not remembering to look^at our membership card, etc. Therefore, your Board of Trustees is making an effort to shorten the Roll Call solicitation period, concentrating on the fall months of September, October and November. Please understand that if you want to join at other times, we'll be delighted to have you no matter what month. This means, however, that some of you have given twice during 1952. Maybe you wanted to show these deductions for income tax purposes. Please bear with us during this change-over. We certainly don't want you to join more than once a year.

Your support of, interest in and cooperation with Georgia Tech is a great source of satisfaction to the administration here. Needless to say, you exemplify the strength of this institution.

Please call on me if I can ever be of service to you.

Sincerely,

Roane Beard, Secretary

P.S.: BEST WISHES FOR A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

TECH ALUMNUS HEADS REVOLUTIONARY FILM COMPANY

HAZARD E. REEVES, ME '28, is the

president of Cinerama, Incorporated, the producers of the new three-dimensional movies that are the rage of New York at the present time. The first of these revolutionary motion pictures, THIS IS CINERAMA, was previewed before a large and enthusiastic audience on the night of September 30 at the Broadway Theatre in New York City.

The showing was an artistic success judging from the reactions of the critics in attendance. To a man, every critic who viewed the showing devoted a large amount of space in the October 1 papers to complimentary reviews of the latest development in motion picture art. The New York Herald Tribune used part of the Editorial page for an excellent discussion of Cinerama and its probable effects on the sagging movie industry, and Macy's, famed department store, ran a full page ad in the New York Times singing the praises of the new technique in motion picture production and projection. And for the first time since the advent of sound in motion pictures, the New York Times reviewed a movie on the front page.

Cinerama is an entirely fresh approach to movie production and projection. A tri-headed camera is used to "shoot" the movies, and three projectors, running the three segments of film simultaneously, are employed in the projection process. In addition, a new conception of sound using nine speakers placed stratigically throughout the theatre give the audience the illusion that , they are seated in the center of action. The movies are shown on a giant wide angle screen, six times normal size. The final product is a three-dimensional movie so realistic that even the sophisticated New York drama critics were carried away with the screening. The consensus of opinion in New York is that Cinerama is the most spectacular advance in the industry since the first sound movie, and that it may well be the "saving grace" of the motion picture industry in its battle with television.

Cinerama is not the first highly successful project with which Hazard has been connected, rather it is the latest in a long line of financial and artistic successes for him since he graduated from Tech in 1928. His sound studio in New York, largest in the East, was engaged in putting sound on film for motion picture companies as well as

making records for phonograph companies prior to World War II. At the beginning of the war, Hazard with several associates formed Reeves-Ely Laboratories to manufacture electronic products for the government. During the course of the war, the company handled millions of dollars worth of government contracts and was awarded the coveted Army-Navy "E" award on four occasions. After the war, Reeves-Ely was sold, and Hazard formed his new enterprise, Reeves Soundcraft Corporation, of which he is president. This company directs the operations of a number of companies manufacturing a variety of products ranging from color television cameras to magnetic film.

When Hazard was called upon by Fred Waller, inventor of Cinerama, to develop the three-dimensional sound necessary for an effective production of this type, he was so impressed with the possibilities of Cinerama that he invested money in the new company and became its president. Hazard likes nothing better than a new challenge in the field of sound and he immediately set out to develop the system for the sound of Cinerama. For two years he worked with his engineers, designing, building and experimenting with the equipment necessary for the three-dimensional sound. That he was successful is borne out by the statements of the sound experts that Cinerama sound has "presence," which means it's as good as the sound on the spot of the filming.

Reeves-Sound with ''Presence"

"This Is Cinerama," produced by Lowell Thomas, Robert Bendick and Merion C. Cooper, is still being shown at the Broadway Theatre in New York. If you are in or around the city, don't miss it. It's a new and exhilarating experience in motion picture viewing.

CHARLES R. YATES, '35

ZJhe [^resident J a yi

I am honored to be president of our Alumni Association this year and feel extremely happy that we have at Georgia Tech such dynamic leadership in the person of Colonel Van Leer. As we Alumni visit our campus, we cannot help but feel most proud of the healthy growth of our physical plant, due in substantial measure to the foresight and planning of Colonel Van Leer working closely with his vice-president, Dean Cherry Emerson.

Football has never been on a higher plane than is now the case out on the "flats." In Bobby Dodd we have a wonderful leader of men and this plus his proven ability to train and develop players gives us undoubtedly the number one coach in the entire country. Even if he never won a game, we Alumni would deeply appreciate Coach Dodd, but with our team Sugar Bowl b o u n d , o u r e n t h u s i a s m k n o w s no bounds.

Your officers and trustees of the Alumni Association deeply appreciate your response to the current Roll Call campaign which in large measure is put on to support and enhance the work of your Alumni Foundation. To you who have already sent in your current contribution, thanks a million, and to those who haven't we hope you will drop your envelope in the next mail. We are trying to build up the number of active participants in the Association and the support of every Tech Alumnus is earnestly needed.

Roane Beard, your Alumni Secretary, and Bob Wallace, manager of Alumni activities, joins me in saying please come by whenever you are near the campus.

Sincerely yours,

CHARLES R. YATES, President, Georgia Tech Nat'l.

Alumni Association


MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING GEORGIA TECH NATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

October 24, 1952

THE meeting was called to order and alumni welcomed by past-president

Price Gilbert, Jr . Each member of the Association was

asked to introduce himself, giving name, class and home town. There were 57 present.

The minutes of the previous Annual Meeting were approved as published in the January-February issue of the GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS. This meeting was held on November 2, 1951.

President Gilbert gave a brief report on the actions taken by the Board of Trustees during the past year. He spoke of the new appointments of out-of-town alumni to the Board, the progress made with the Annual Alumni Roll Call, formation of the Atlanta Alumni Club, appointment of Jack Glenn to the Athletic Board, etc.

Harry Baker, '34 President of the Research Institute, gave a summary of the work being carried on at the Experiment Station; covering the number of projects undertaken during the past year, the budget for the year and the progress made.

W. A. Parker, President of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, gave a report on the activities and accomplishments of that organization. He pointed out that through the Foundation, Georgia Tech was able to do many things f o r w h i c h state funds were not available.

Your '52-'53 officers, L. to R.: Henry Grady, '18, treas.; Ivan Allen, Jr., '33, vice-pres.; Charlie Yates, '35, president, and Frank Williams, '20, vice-pres.

Henry W. Grady, Treasurer of the National Association, gave a financial report covering the year 1951-52. Pertinent figures cited were that the Association had an income of 21,531.23; expenses of $16,871.56, which left a balance of income over expenses of $4,-659.67.

Roane Beard, Alumni Secretary, told of the operation of the Alumni office; touching on such subjects as Alumni Placement, Clubs, Records, etc.

Mr. Gilbert next called on John M. Nichols, '28, President of the Greater Atlanta Georgia Tech Club. Mr. Nichols explained the purposes and plans of the Atlanta Club. He stated that it had gotten started on firm ground and that it should continue to grow and assist Tech.

At this point, Mr. Gilbert called President Charles R. Yates, '35, to the front and handed him the gavel signifiying the official change of Presidents. Mr. Yates complimented Mr. Gilbert on the excellent manner in which the Association operated under his guidance and for the success of the past year's Alumni Roll Call.

Robert B. Wallace, IM '49, new Manager of Alumni Activities, was introduced by Mr. Yates. Mr. Wallace started with the Association this month, filling a vacancy which has existed since Brian Brown left the Association in January.

Cherry L. Emerson, '08, Vice-President of Georgia Tech, whose assistance in building and operating the college has been of tremendous value, was next introduced. Mr. Emerson told of work now in progress on the campus, the immediate needs of the institution, and plans for future building.

A report on the current Roll Call, 1952-53, was read by Roane Beard. The report showed 1.172 contributors — giving $17,309.25. This amount was far in excess of the results obtained by the same time in the previous year.

Mr. John Nichols suggested that when the Tech football team eoes out of town and the alumni in that town give some kind of a party, that the Alumni attending the game be notified of such meeting so that they might attend. Mr. George Marchmont suggested that arrangements be made to insert a notice with the football ticket so that when mailed to the alumnus, he will be notified of such meeting or party. President Yates assured the group that this would be looked into with hope of making such arrangements. Meeting adjourned at 6:15 PM.

Those present for the meeting were: George S. Jones. '12. G. Paul Jones, '21, R. L. Jones, '32, R. J. Thiesen, '10, J. J. Westbrook, '29, Henry W. Grady, '18, Price Gilbert, Jr., '21, Eugene D.

Retirement Ceremony for George Marchmont, E.E. '07

See 1907 Photo Above

An impressive retirement ceremony was held in Dallas, Texas on November 14 for George T. Marchmont, EE '07, Southwestern District Manager of the Graybar Electric Company. During the ceremony, a paper extending the greetings of the President and Faculty of Georgia Tech was presented to Mr. Marchmont. Mr. Marchmont has served Graybar for 44 years and has been an enthusiastic supporter of Tech since graduation.

His only son, George T., Jr. is an Alumnus of Tech and three of his four daughters married Tech Alumni, you can't beat that record for loyalty.

The National Alumni Association extends its congratulations to a loyal Tech man for a job well done and offers its best wishes for a happy retirement.

The School of Chemical Engineering 11 / C H E M I C A L engineering" has been

v.^ defined by Dr. S. D. Kirkpatrick, editor of "Chemical Engineering" and past president of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, as "that branch of engineering concerned with the development and application of manufacturing p r o c e s s e s in which chemical or certain physical changes of material are involved. These processes may usually be resolved into a coordinated series of unit physical operations and unit chemical processes. The work of the chemical engineer is concerned primarily with the design, construction, and operation of equipment and plants in which these unit operations and processes are applied. C h e m i s t r y , physics, and mathematics are the underlying sciences of chemical engineering, and economics its guide to practice."

Chemical engineering education has as its aim the training and development of men for positions in the process industries, particularly in research and development, operations or production, design and construction, and management. The chemical engineering curricula at Georgia Tech for undergraduate as well as graduate students are designed to achieve these educational objectives through class and laboratory work based largely on the application of the fundamental principles of the basic sciences.

The chemical engineering curriculum at Georgia Tech has been accredited since 1938 by the Engineers' Council for Professional D e v e l o p m e n t , the Georgia Tech School of Chemical Engineering being among the first chemical engineering schools of the south thus to be accredited.

Much of the first three years of the undergraduate curriculum is designed to give the students a thorough training in the subjects of c h e m i s t r y , physics, mathematics, drawing, mechanics and English. A good foundation in physics, mathematics, and physical chemistry is essential in order for the student to successfully complete the chemical engineering courses. The balance of the curriculum is primarily devoted to courses in chemical engineering in which the fundamentals learned earlier have to be employed. In the senior year, the students also take courses in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and a d v a n c e d physics.

The chemical engineering phases of the course work are divided into chemical technology, calculations, unit op

erations, materials, design, and economics. Chemical technology consists of a study of the unit processes, including what is now considered good practice in the various branches of the process industries. The chemical engineering calculations show how the principles of physical chemistry and thermodynamics may be applied to the solution of chemical e n g i n e e r i n g problems.

The unit operations courses deal with the equipment used for chemical engineering work and give the fundamental engineering and economic principles upon which intelligent design and operations must be based. The materials courses cover the important matter of material of construction for the process industries. The design courses include the preparation of design-cost studies on the construction of plants, involving the preparation of detailed drawings and specifications of equipment. The economics course consider the general factors involved in the economic side of chemical engineering and supplements the economic considerations included in the other courses. The techniques employed in the finding of information in the literature are studied in a chemical engineering li terature course. Other chemical engineering courses which may be elected by undergraduate students include comprehensive and special problems, physical metallurgy and metallography, and corrosion and protective measures.

In the graduate work in chemical engineering, numerous advanced and more comprehensive courses are offered, dealing with the subjects introduced in the undergraduate curriculum. In addition, these are required of all master's as well as doctor's degree candidates.

In the School of Chemical Engineering at Georgia Tech, the student body numbers at present some 325 men. The staff includes 10 faculty members, all of whom have doctors degrees. Two of these men do part-time teaching and direct research projects sponsored through the Georgia Tech Engineering Experiment Station. All of the faculty members are either conducting or directing research projects a n d / o r graduate theses, and they all have had industrial experience in a variety of industries. The other members of the staff include five graduate student assistants, a full-time ma-chinest and a departmental secretary.

The School of Chemical Engineering was the first school at Georgia Tech to be authorized by the Graduate Council to offer work toward the doctor's degree. The first doctor's degree in Chemical Engineering, which was also the first doctor's degree granted at Georgia Tech, was conferred at the June Commencement in 1950. At present, 16 doctor's degree candidates are enrolled, six of whom are the recipients of fellowships sponsored by private industries.

At the Filter Press in the ChE lab, Dr. Robert J. Raudebaugh, acting Head of the ChE School, aids foreign student, Ole Myklestad of Norway, left.

The Georgia Tech School of Chemical Engineering is housed in the Chemical Engineering Building, which is joined to the Chemistry Building. The major laboratories occupy a space of approximately 10,000 square feet; the unit operations laboratories occupy 4,100 square feet and have a head room of 20 feet. The other laboratories include those for fuels and their combustion, a liquid air plant, crushing and grinding, metallurgy, special problems, and research. All are quite well equipped with appropriate equipment and utilities. The unit operations laboratories are especially well equipped with representative equipment needed to illustrate and to understand practically all of the unit operations, as employed in industrial processes.


TECH ALUMNUS COMPLETES 7th TRIP AROUND WORLD

THE man eased into his chair behind the big desk and spoke of his 35,000-

mile trip around the world just as you or I might speak of a week-end jaunt to the North Georgia lakes. This was the seventh time that he had made the trip since 1946, and he spoke with the easy confidence natured by subject experience.

The man's name is, I am sure, a familiar one to most of our readers. It is Lawrence W. (Chip) Robert, Jr., loyal Tech supporter, world traveler and the

• president of Robert and Company Associates, one of the largest engineering and architecture firms in the world. Mr. Robert's observations on his recent trip are interesting and noteworthy, especially in the light of the present world situation.

Chip departed the United States for Europe in early August of this year. He stopped in London to meet his charming wife Evie, famed Washington socialite, then on to Paris to pick up his daughter, Louisa, now Mrs. Grant LeRoux. Chip and Louisa, who was a member of the 1932 Olympic Swimming Team, flew to Helsinki to see the last week.of the Olympic Games. When queried as to the Russian behavior during the games, Chip replied, "The Russian team members acted just like the team members of the other participating countries, but the Red officials and managers were stinkers."

After the completion of the games, Chip made quick trips to Paris, Rome and the Rivera and then returned to

London to board a jet airliner for Colombo, Ceylon. The British De-Haviland Comet covered the distance in 17 hours with five refueling stops.

L. W. "CHIP" ROBERT, JR. CE'08

Chip regards jets as the ultimate in air travel both for speed and comfort. "Excluding landing and take-off 'whooshes,' there is no sound or vibration inside the aircraft's pressurized cabin, and the stability of the plane amazed even me," stated Mr. Robert.

In the Far East, Chip spent a 10-day vacation with the Right Honorable Malcolm McDonald, British High Commissioner in that area. He also visited for four days on the island of Formosa with General Chiang Kai-Shek, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Nationalist Armies. When asked about the situation on Formosa, Chip replied that Formosa is in excellent shape and the Nationalists have done wonders with' the Island. Formosa is about half the size of South Carolina yet he re

ported that, although supporting nine million people, 40% of its farm products are exported.

On the use of the Chinese troops in Korea or China proper, Chip had this to say, "For the time being, excluding all-out war with China, I believe that the Chinese Nationalists are of more use to us on Formosa than they would be in the other areas mentioned."

Chip also stated that the American Military Advisory Group on Formosa had done an excellent job on the Nationalist troops, and that this work should be continued and broadened by all means. He pointed out that it costs only $500 a year to train a Chinese Nationalist soldier on Formosa while it costs $10,000 to train an American GI for one year.

"The American businessman has the respect and admiration of the people in every land that I visited; our biggest enemy in foreign lands is our own bragging, which is being controlled more every year," answered Mr. Robert to a question on the attitude of the natives to the Americans. ,

It is Chip's belief that the best thing this country is doing to spread our good will around the world is aiding the less fortunate countries to build a sound economy by themselves. The biggest item in this program is developing their production facilities by engineering construction such as hydro-electric plants, railroads, highways and communication development. "The American engineer is in big demand in every country that I visited," stated Chip as he closed the interview.

THE ALUMNUS SALUTES JAIME A. VENDRELL, G.E. '39

"My children's personal liberty-is not at stake in America."

JAIME VENDRELL is a man with the

courage of his convictions. He proved this by leaving a lucrative business of his own in his native land to move to the United States and starting all over again in order that his children could be brought up where their liberties would not be at stake. You see, Jaime's native land is Argentine, now in the grip of the most ruthless dictator in the Western Hemisphere, Juan Peron.

After Jaime graduated from Tech in 1939, he went to work for Pan-American-Grace Airlines as a Maintenance Engineer in South America. In 1946, after working in various South American countries for the Airline, Jaime returned to Buenos Aires to establish his own export business. He became a successful exporter in Argentine, but the Peron regime was getting more unbearable every day.

He finally decided to give up all he had worked for in the last six years and move to Atlanta to start anew. He arrived here early this fall with

his wife and three young children, Alexandria, 8, Silvania, 6, and Virginia Monica, 3. Alexandria and Silvania are attending Druid Hills School in the third and first grades respectively. They are doing very well even though they could not speak the English language when they entered school this term. Mrs. Vendrell did not speak English when they arrived in this country which further complicated Jaime's move to this country.

Jaime has been a loyal Tech supporter since his graduation, and last year he traveled from Buenos Aires to attend the Homecoming at the "Flats." His office may be found in Room 231 of the Healy Building in downtown Atlanta, and he specializes in export service to all the South American countries, a market he knows intimately. If you have export problems of any kind or are thinking of entering the lucrative export market note the advertisement on page 28 of this issue.

WILLIAM L. CARMICHAEL REGISTRAR

Registrar Carmichael checks a student out on registration procedures.

A HIGH SCHOOL student bent on entering Tech will have his first contact

with the institute through the Office of the Registrar. When a student departs Tech as a graduate, his final contact will be with this same office through his diploma which is processed in the Registrar's Office. During his or her stay at Tech, the student, along with approximately 3,800 others, will keep the Registrar and his staff of twelve busy just recording and filing all the" academic material that concerns him. Chances are, that this same student, as an Alumnus, will use the Registrar 's office after graduation, for this office is the final resting place of the academic records of every student who has ever attended Tech.

The man who heads this very important administration branch at Georgia Tech is William Lawson Carmichael. Mr. Carmichael was born in Statesville, North Carolina, moved to Georgia at an early age and graduated from Cor-dele, Georgia, High School in 1922. He entered Tech upon graduating from high school and received his BS degree in Textile Engineering in 1926. After working a couple years as a textile engineer, he returned to his Alma Mater to teach and work on his Master's degree. He received his Master of Science degree in the Textile School in 1930 and remained at Tech as an Instructor and Professor in the Textile Department until 1946, when he accepted the position as Director of Admissions in the Registrar's Office. In 1948, upon the elevation of Dean Chapin to Dean of Faculties, Mr. C a r m i c h a e l became Registrar of the Institute.

In addition to his varied duties as Registrar, Mr. Carmichael has been very active in instituting the program to improve relations between Tech and various high schools through visitations and special programs. He has only missed one Tech football game at Grant Field since 1922; a case of mumps caused him to miss that one. Mr. Carmichael acts as Secretary of the Faculty and is also a member of many of its committees. He is co-author of the "Calloway Textile Dictionary," and this summer, he found time to accompany the Tech Naval ROTC unit on its annual cruise.

Mr. Carmichael is a member of Phi Kappa Phi, ODK, Phi Psi, Kappa Phi Kappa, Georgia Educational Association, Southern Association of College Registrars and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars. He is very active in church work, being an Elder and a Superintendent of Sunday School in the Peachtree Road Presbyterian Church. Mr. Carmichael is married to the former Nineta Vess of East Point, Georgia. They have two children, Sarah, 14, and Billy, 10.

THE RETURN OF GEORGE

P. BURDELL-CHAPTER 2

IN THE last issue of the ALUMNUS, Pete Van Norde, AE '43, was questioning

the whereabouts of George P. Burdell, Sr., Alumnus of Tech, whose antics as an undergraduate kept the faculty guessing at Tech for years. As Pete surmised, George P. is still "bugging" the faculty as an undergrad, and he'll be happy to know that George P., Sr., is as active as an Alumnus as he was as a student.

Alan Pope, AE '34, Tech AE Professor now on leave of absence and recently appointed Supervisor of Experimental Aerodynamics for the Sandia Corporation of Albuquerque, N. M., writes your Editor that he recently ran into George P., Sr., in a public library in Los Angeles, California. George was engrossed in studying (a) a blonde who worked on the swing shift and (b) the great catastrophes of the United States. George's conclusions on the blonde are unprintable, but he did get around to listing the three great catastrophies as (1) the San Francisco earthquake, (2) the Chicago fire, and (3) the failure of a haberdashery shop in Kansas City.

From Cambridge, Mass., comes the news that George P. joined the Supply Corps of the United States Navy at Harvard recently. As usual, Burdell caused a small crisis before departing the area. It seems that George P. had signed for the normal allotment of sheets, blankets and other "sack" items, but the authorities could find no Burdell on their roster. A search for the extra man was initiated and one Company was confined to the area until Ensign Burdell could be located. When the word reached George that a Court Martial was being planned for him, when and if he was apprehended, he decided to forego a Navy career, turned in his bedding and "silently stole away."

Any other stories about George P., Sr.'s escapades since departing Tech, because his Spanish American GI money ran out on him, will be appreciated by the Staff of the ALUMNUS.

Medford was in the nose of this B-50

Returns to Civilian Status

J. Frederick Medford, IE '50, has recently returned to his position as cost estimator with the Atlanta Paper Company after serving a 17-month tour of duty with the United States Air Force. Mr., formerly 1st Lt., Medford acted as a navigator on a B-50 medium bomber during a tour of duty over Korea. Upon his re turn to the States, Fred was in a B-50 accident near Omaha, Nebraska. He suffered ten rib fractures and a collapsed lung but managed to pull through in good shape after 2 and V2 months in a service hospital. Fred also flew a tour as a B-29 navigator in the Pacific during World War II. He holds the Air Medal with two clusters, Presidential Unit Citation with cluster, Korean Service Ribbon, UN Ribbon, Pacific Theater Ribbon with two battle stars and the American Theater Ribbon.

Ex Tech End Coach Passes Away in Washington, D.C.

Col. Henry William Robinson, U. S. Army, retired, died September 9 at Walter Reed Hospital of cancer of the brain. Col. Robinson, 59 years old at the time of his death, was an All-time All-Southern end at Auburn. As a military instructor at Tech from 1927 to 1935, he acted as end coach for the football team under Alex and turned out some of Tech's greatest ends during that period.


DORMITORY KEY TURNS UP AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

In a recent letter to President Van Leer, Lamar Dodd, '31, head of the Art Department at a nearby institution for Bulldogs, related an interesting story. It seems that when Mr. Dodd departed Tech in February of 1927 because of illness, he left his room key with J. P. Powell, TE '31, in order that Mr. Powell might collect the $.50 deposit on the key. In September of this year, Mr. Powell, now manager of Fieldcrest Mills in Spray. N. C , wrote a letter to Mr. Dodd and enclosed the key, suggesting that Mr. Dodd may know of a way to collect his deposit for the key. The key, however, held so many memories of happy days at the "flats" that Mr. Dodd decided against turning it in for a measly fifty-cent piece and instead placed it with his souvenirs. Little did he know that deposits now go for a buck, and he could have doubled his money. Mr. Dodd is still proud of his association with Tech, and frankly Tech is right proud of Lamar Dodd's accomplishments in the field of art even though he is associated with THAT University located 70 miles East of Atlanta.

BOB WALLACE ACCEPTS ALUMNI POSITION

R OBERT B. WALLACE, JR., IM '49, has accepted the position of Manager

of Alumni Activities with the National Association. He will act as assistant to W. Roane Beard, Alumni Secretary, in all phases of alumni work and especially with the bi-monthly magazine, the GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS.

Mr. Wallace entered Tech in 1939, leaving in 1941 to join the Air Force. During World War II he served as a bombardier - navigator - radar operator, serving in combat in Europe as a Captain in 1944 and 1945. For his exceptional service he received the Distinguished Flying Cross with one Oak Leaf Cluster, the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters and five Battle Stars.

ROBERT B. WALLACE, JR.

Returning from the service, Bob again entered Tech and got his degree in December, 1948. While at Tech he was on the Technique staff, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, a member of the band and also a member of the Technicians dance orchestra.

Bob worked with the Fred Deland Trio (bass fiddle) for a year, as a Deputy City Marshal for a year; then received another call from the Air Force. He returned to duty at Langley Air Force Base, Va. with assignment as a Group Intelligence Officer. After 18 months' duty, he was released to inactive status.

Since coming to Tech from Clearfield, Pa., Bob has claimed Atlanta as his home. He is married to the former Jane Dobbs, an Atlanta girl. They are the parents of three girls: Nancy, Jinx and Marilu. Although girls may appear to be his main hobby, Bob is vitally interested in good dance music and plays regularly with the Charlie Chase Dance Orchestra.

The Association is indeed fortunate to have someone with the excellent qualifications of Bob Wallace. He'll be seeing you.

on the hill... Tech's Fall Enrollment Up 5 %

Over 1951

FINAL tabulation of the fall quarter enrollment figures showed a 5% in

crease over the total for the same quarter a year ago. The tab shows a total of 3,775 students, 998 of which are freshmen, for the fall term, 1952. The "rat" total is 43% over last year's figure, certainly a healthy sign for the school. 108 of the students this year are Korean vets, the first to use the Korean Bill of Rights at Tech. Two students entering this term are of the female type, another sign of changing times.

Tech and Auburn Students Talk Peace

The joint committee for furthering friendly relations between Tech and Auburn met on the Auburn campus the week before the Tech-Auburn football clash. The committee, formed as a result of the fracas following the football game between the two schools in 1948, is composed of student representatives of the two schools. Among the resolutions drafted by the committee this year was one stating that Tech freshmen keep their ra t caps in their pockets before and after the game and asking Auburn "rats" to leave their caps in Auburn. The success of this venture is seen in the clean riotless Tech-Auburn games since the committee was formed. Nice to note that there is one successful peace conference in the world today.

Campus Alterations Moving Towards Completion

The campus underwent a number of changes and additions during the past summer. The new Architecture Building was completed, and the Arch. Department moved into it for the fall quarter. The new library is going up ahead of schedule and is expected to be ready for occupancy by the end of the spring term.

A number of invisible changes were made also, headed by the new underground duct system which will enable

- the power plant to operate on gas from the city mains with uninterruptable service. In the event of low gas pressure and high industrial demand in cold weather, the burners will operate on oil. The changeover from gas to ' oil can be made without interruptions or effects in the heating supply even in

the coldest weather. The new electric cables for the duct system will be laid during the Christmas recess in order to cause the least amount of inconvenience on the campus during the installation.

Eighth Street from Rose Bowl Field to Atlantic Avenue and Plum Street from Sixth to Eighth are in the process of being widened to allow a better flow of traffic. This project is being paid for by the State Highway Department and will also include surfacing the streets and laying sidewalks along the two streets. Streets on the campus are also being repaired and the entrance at the corner of Hemphill and Ponce de Leon has been redesigned.

President Emeritus M. L. Brittain and Mrs. Brittain relax at their home as they review their 63 years of happy married life. The anniversary is on Dec. 20.

Two Tech Students Win Lincoln Cash Awards

Tech ME students, Richard D. Chev-erton of Fort Worth, Texas, and Thomas W. Musselwhite of Arp, Texas, were the first prize winners in the annual nation-wide engineering contest sponsored by the James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation of Cleveland, Ohio. Four scholarships, bearing the names of the two students, totaling over $1,000, were awarded to Tech by the Foundation. In addition to this, the two students received a check made out to them jointly in the amount of $1,129.90. The Tech students won their award with a joint design of a sub-calibre mount for a recoilless rifle. The design, in which the Army is very interested, permits mounting a .22 barrel in a 75 MM rifle for training purposes. Max Kuniansky, Jr., a Chemical Engineering student at Tech, won a fourth place award of $169.90 in the contest.

Students Attend Collegiate Press Meeting

Ten leading campus journalists from the "flats" were among the 594 delegates attending the Associated Collegiate Press Conference in New York City during the week-end of October 24. Featured at the conference this year were sectional meetings dealing with editorials, style, art, press freedom, advertising and various other aspects of journalism. Prominent speakers on the program included Fred Birmingham, Editor of Esquire; James Weschler, Editor of the New York Post; John Scott, Editor of Time magazine; and Dr. David Dobbs Henry, Executive Vice-Chancellor of the host school, New York University.

Parachute Cloth Research Being Conducted on Campus

Tech is supplying the Air Force's textile branch with data concerning the various fabrics capabilities to meet the parachute designer's needs. The experiments are being carried out in the state engineering experiment station on the campus. The best brains in the Textile, A e r o n a u t i c a l and Mechanical Schools are working with three synthetic materials — Orion, Nylon and Dacron — to determine which of the materials best satisfy the need for large cargo chutes and chutes to be used for catapulting from the high speed planes of the future.

Experiments determine how parachutes made of the three fabrics — with various twists in the yarn and different weaves — would react under given conditions in all kinds of weather. Information obtained includes the 'chute's rate of descent, stability and durability at withstanding pressures. The first phase determines the fabrics response to pressure up to two and one-half pounds per square inch, then the pressure is increased to 53 pounds per square inch for the second phase. Professor H. W. S. LaVier of the AE School stated that this is the pressure that the fabric in the chute would be subjected to in case of a heavy cargo load or of a high speed bailout. To conduct the tests in the latter stage, it was necessary to remodel Tech's supersonic wind tunnel which was formerly used to determine reaction of aircraft parts to supersonic speeds.

The strength of materials tests are conducted in Professor LaVier's "two-way stretch" machine, in which the fabric is subjected to extreme pulling pressure from both ends, and its stretchability and breakability is- then recorded.

Dr. M. J. Goglia of the ME School performs the theoretical studies and mathematical analyses for the experiments while Prof. Gerald Fletcher of . the TE School has the fabrics made according to specifications, and Prof. LaVier is credited with developing the testing apparatus.

Notes at Random

Drs. Erling Groverstein and Jack •Hine of the Chemistry Department attended the fourth conference on Reaction Mechanisms at Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pa., during the second week in September.

The Research volume at Tech, including guided missiles work, is now $1,500,000 compared to $40,000 in 1944.

Tech has a campus radio station, WTYJ, that can be picked up in the "dorms" only. The station broadcasts information and entertainment to the students during the evening hours and does not use expensive equipment as it is piped in through the cables. The station hopes to eventually reach the fraternity houses and apartments with its programs.

TECH 17, FLORIDA 14

AGAIN, it was Franklin "Pepper" Rod-gers whose ability to placekick a

football saved a possible tie with upset-minded Florida on September 27 before 32,000 fans. Tech had come from behind twice to tie Florida just as they had done with Baylor in the Orange Bowl on January 1 of this year when Pepper trotted out and saved the day with his through-the-middle 3-pointer.

The Jackets were able to move the ball plenty on the ground and through the air, running up 423 yards on the Gators, but at several crucial points they made mistakes; such as, failing to hold on to the ball, committing a foul, or trying the middle of the Florida line. Florida, on the other hand, held onto the ball and took advantage of their scoring o p p o r t u n i t i e s . The Gators gained only 139 yards rushing, 64 of which were consumed by "Pappa" Hall on his startling run. The Gators were practically impotent through the air, completing only 2 passes for 12 yards.

Florida scored first on a 53-yard drive which was aided by a roughing penalty, with Long going over from 5 yards out. Tech took the kickoff and without losing the ball moved 70 yards for a score. The march featured three pass completions, Brigman to Martin, covering 23, 19 and 9 yards, the latter for the TD. Rodgers knotted the count with his extra point. At the half the score stood 7-7.

Tech had three drives stopped by fumbles in the third quarter. They had bottled up Florida completely when suddenly "Pappa" Hall broke clean on an inside tackle play, swung wide and outran the secondary to go into the end zone. Hurse (barefooted) converted and Florida led 14-7. Tech immediately started another drive which was halted by the excellent Florida line with only inches for a first down.

In the fourth period, Tech got going and moved 63 yards to score, with Brig-man throwing to Knox in the end zone. Knox made a breath-taking catch in which he juggled the ball a couple of

times before finally securing possession. Rodgers cooly converted to tie it again 14-14.

Tech forced a punt and promptly drove to the Gator 6-yard line, where on fourth and four, Rodgers came from the bench, placed his tee and with Brannon holding, split the uprights with the winning field goal.

Bill Brigman, sophomore quarterback, played the entire game on offense and deserves a lot of credit for the way in which he ran the team. Time after time Tech was set back by fumbles, pass interceptions and penalties, but he came back in there and with the confidence of a veteran led the team to final victory. He completed 17 of 30 passes which is respectable in any league. Buck Martin on the receiving end also did a fine job. The entire Tech team deserves praise for its determination in this game of breaks. Except for Hall's long run, Florida was held to very little ground, but their defense in the clutch was inspired and damaging. Charlie LaPradd, defensive tackle for Florida, was an Ail-American against Tech. The Jackets deserved a better margin, but were thankful for a win.

best offensive performance to date and featured the terrific running of Leon Hardeman and Bill Teas. While Tech's offensive performers were running for 216 yards and 13 first downs, the defensive team didn't do too badly holding SMU's to minus 4 yards rushing and 3 first downs through the air. It was Georgia Tech Day at the Texas State Fair and it seemed that every Tech man in Texas was on hand to see the Jackets ramble. They even furnished us with the Texas Tech band, but didn't mean to yield quite so much of their plentiful land out there.

Tech began to move right away, but two 15-yard penalties set them back on their first drive, so they got started again about the middle of the first quarter. Brigman engineered them 78 yards alternating Ruffin, Teas Hardeman, and Johnson. A pass interference penalty aided the cause when Knox was mauled trying to get to the ball. Hardeman scored from 9 yards out, fighting his way through crowds of SMU tacklers whose grip couldn't hold the determined scrapper. Rodgers missed his conversion effort, breaking his string at 16.

Brannon intercepted a SMU pass at the Tech 48 and away the Jackets went again. Hardeman and Teas made a couple of first downs, then Teas streaked


wide, cut downfield and side-stepping a couple of would-be tacklers, sped across the goal line. The play covered 29 yards. Rodgers converted. Tech led 13-0.

Following the kickoff, George Morris stole the ball and Tech possessed at the SMU 19. A penalty set Tech back on this effort, so Glenn Turner tried a field goal which fell short. SMU then marched to the Tech 15 where Tech held and started back up field. Teas ran 22, then he and Hardeman alternated to the SMU 7 where Teas slithered through a hole and across while the Mustangs watched. Pepper again converted and Tech led 20-0.

Another interception by George Morris set Tech off again. They reached the 1-yard line where a fumble stopped them. After SMU took over, the defense almost got a safety just before the half ended, as end Cecil Trainer tackled SMU's Jerry Norton on the 1-yard line.

The second half was a different story. Tech had a commanding lead and decided to play it safe. SMU changed its defense and took to the air on offense. The Mustangs marched 86 yards, featuring excellent passing and running by sophomore Don Pace and circus catches by their ends. The score was made on a plunge by Pace, Stollen-werck converted and SMU had made their bid. The rest of the battle was more or less on even terms and Tech had the ball at midfield when the game ended.

Hardeman was the star of the show, but Bill Teas and the Tech coaches both found that Teas could run that ball like a scared jack rabbit. The entire offensive line of Knox, Miller, Shoemaker, Brown, Gossage, Lyons, and Martin did a wonderful job of downfield blocking in that first half. Quarterback Brigman played like a veteran. George Morris was the defensive star. He intercepted 3 passes and stole the ball once as well as backing up the line like a titan. Trainer and Hensley at ends played beautiful defensive ball.

THE HOLE THAT THE PROVERBIAL TRUCK CAN BE DRIVEN THROUGH — Johnson scores against Vandy.

The Jackets gained plenty of ground by land and air, but untimely penalties and strong defensive play by Tulane made it tough to cross the goal line. Hardeman and Teas did their usual stellar job of running the ball and Buck Martin caught 6 passes for 114 yards, but each time the Jackets got within scoring range, the Green Wave threw them back or covered the receivers so well that nothing would go until the last minute before half-time and the last 20 seconds of the second half. Ramblin' Leon Hardeman carried 20 times for 114 yards and Speedy Bill Teas ran 19 times for 99 yards. Brigman has shown a cool improvement each game; his signal calling and ball handling has been very gratifying. He completed 18 of 20 passes for 149 yards against Tulane.

The first touchdown came on a clever fake by Brigman and maneuver by Martin which found Martin open behind the Tulane defenders. Brigman threw a long high one which was taken in stride by Martin who went on unmolested across the goal. This was in the last minute of the first half.

Tech marched on the goal line again in the third quarter, but could get no further than the 11-yard line from where Pepper Rodgers missed a try for a field goal.

Max McGee, dangerous Tulane fullback, fumbled the ball on fourth down, then tried to run it out; failing to make first down. Tech took over; Brigman passed to Martin for 11, Hardeman got 6 and 3; then Jimmie Johnson ran it over with 20 seconds left on the clock. Rodgers converted. Final: Tech 14 and Tulane 0.

The Jacket defensive team did an excellent job of containing strong running backs Max McGee, Kennedy and Weidenbacker, and held Tulane's ace passer, Clement, to 5 completed passes totaling 27 yards. Ends Hensley

and Trainer, linebackers Morris and Morris, and secondary defenders Moore-head, Brannon and Rudolph were particularly effective in stopping a fired up Tulane team. The line play was terrific on the part of both teams.

DEFENSIVE teams very seldom win games alone, but on Saturday,

October 18, the Yellow Jackets' defensive team made a falsehood out of that old saying, "the best defense is a good offense." This time the reverse was true as Tech came up with six recovered fumbles and four pass interceptions, two of which Bobby Moore-head ran back for touchdowns. There was considerable yardage made on the ground, however, so we don't want to take anything away from the offensive unit. It is all right to let the defensive team win one once in a while. (Tennessee has been winning them that way for years.)

At the outset, it looked as though the "War Eagle" was really going to fly high against Tech. Nearly all the student body and half of their alumni were here in great spirits. Auburn came close to scoring a couple of times in the first quarter, but the Jacket defense was too much for them. They reached the 2-and 18-yard lines on successive drives,

aided by the fine passing of Dudley Spence. Tech took over on downs the first time and via a fumble the second. From that point on, Auburn was no threat to the Jacket goal line. Their defense from tackle to tackle was as good as Tech had met, however, and there was no hint of a runaway.

Auburn's Spence threw a third down pass which alert Bobby Moorehead, defensive sideback, took out of the air on the run. Tech's defensive aggregation reacted quickly and with brilliant running and excellent downfield blocking, Moorehead scampered 46 yards across the goal line. Rodgers converted and Tech led at half-time 7-0.

Following a recovered fumble on Auburn's 18, a faked field goal attempt and pass failed and Auburn took over. The play was suggested by Coach Dodd's son, Bobby, Jr., and it was not learned until later why the play did not work better. Jeff Knox, for whom the pass was intended, was groggy from a previous lick and stayed on the line of scrimmage. The play was a natural, since Rodgers is an excellent placekicker as well as passer.

Auburn fumbled on first down after the fake field goal, George Morris making the recovery on the 5. Speedy Billy Teas went the distance around end, simply outrunning the Auburn defenders. Rodgers' kick was blocked.

On second down after receiving the kickoff, Spence's pass was again intercepted by Moorehead who sped unmolested for 41 yards and another score. The extra point was wide and Tech led 19-0 when the last quarter came up.

Early in the fourth period following an interception by Tech's Patterson, the Jackets sustained for 44 yards and a touchdown; Leon Hardeman going over from up close. Two passes from Brigman to Martin were the key to this drive. Martin was covered by two men during the entire game which made this feat the more remarkable. Rodgers converted and Tech led 26-0.

Taking over with reserves in the lineup, Pepper Rodgers pitched three strikes to end Bill Sennett, who was just moved up from the "B" team; then hit Dave Davis with a 28-yard strike for the final touchdown. The drive covered 68 yards. Rodgers converted. Final score: Tech 33, Auburn 0.

Tech's defensive team had won themselves a fine victory. It was only after they had shaken up Auburn for three quarters that the Jackets were able to

sustain two touchdown drives. The Jackets had the misfortune of losing regular right halfback Larry Ruffin for from 4-6 weeks due to a knee injury. He will be missed sorely.

The Commodores and Jackets rocked through a first quarter stand-off with Tech unable to sustain any drive and Vandy unable to get anything going. Vandy did threaten once following recovery of a fumbled kick, but were stopped at the 14.

Tech's brilliant Leon Hardeman provided the only real offensive spark of the first half when, on the first running play of the second quarter, he took a pitchout on Vandy's 41, got good blocking to the 15, ran into three Vandy defenders; then by sheer determination and ability scattered them and left them wondering what had happened as he crossed the goal line standing up. Tech led at half-time 6-0.

Recovery of a fumbled lateral by guard Frey on the Vandy 9, was followed quickly by a touchdown in 3 plays. Teas bumped around left end for the score. Rodgers converted and Tech led 13-0 at the end of the third quarter.

Skin Edge was the fourth Tech quarterback to lead the Tech offense and when the game ended, he was on the 1-foot line. Final: Tech 30, Vandy 0.

Had the game continued, Tech could have run up a terrific score. The Vandy team was completely worn out from a hard struggle against superior manpower. This is illustrated by the fact that in the fourth quarter, Tech used many reserves who made much better progress than the first-line outfit who had been fought almost to a standstill in the first half. With the exception of Hardeman's 41-yard jaunt, the victory was almost entirely a defensive one. The entire defensive unit played its best game of the season in throttling the Vandy offensive. Bill Kreitemeyer, freshman sensation for Vandy, was bottled up all afternoon; having a net rushing of minus 25 yards and completing only 5 of 13 passes. Bill Thaden, defensive left tackle, hurried Kreitemeyer all afternoon and was generally outstanding. Vereen at guard and the line-backing of George and Larry Morris was superb. Hardeman was Tech's leading ground gainer and continued to look like an All-American.

THE toughest hurdle (or so many Tech followers thought) on the

Yellow Jacket schedule was cleared on November 1 at Durham, N. C , before a capacity crowd of 45,000.

Tennessee had made 25 yards rushing and only 2 first downs total during its g a m e a g a i n s t D u k e . T h e c a m p u s quarterbacks thought that Tech would have to throw the ball and possibly try to run wide on the Blue Devils, but it wasn't that way at all. Tech beat Duke decisively — up the middle. The middle of Tech's line did a fine job of getting the jump on Duke and using the wedge play, Hardeman, Turner and Teas took the ball from Brigman and added their drive to rush for 322 yards on the ground. Only 5 passes were attempted; two completed (one for a TD) and two intercepted.

Receiving the kickoff, Tech failed to make a first down; kicked to Duke who also failed and punted back. The Jackets started from their 27-yard line and in 13 plays sent Billy Teas knifing over from the one-yard line on fourth down. The high point of this march was when Tech had fourth and 3 on the Duke 26. Glenn Turner ripped up the middle for 18 yards to the Duke 8. Pepper Rodgers made the first of four consecutive conversions.

Duke again couldn't gain, Lutz attempted to kick, but Bob Sherman blocked it and Tech recovered on the Duke 18. Tech's line again shoved the Blue Devils into their end zone and Turner scored from the four. It took only six plays with short yardage each time. Tech led at the end of the first quarter 14-0.

Following a nice punt return, caught on the 15 and returned by Bobby Moore-head to the Tech 47, the Jackets moved swiftly to their third TD. Teas carried to the 1, where Hardeman catapulted into the end zone. Tech led 21-0 at the half.

Sam Hensley, defensive end provided the next scoring opportunity for the Jackets by blocking another kick. Tech took over on Duke's 33 and aided by a penalty, got to the Devil 7. Brig-man passed to end Jeff Knox in the end zone for the final Tech score. After Pepper's conversion Tech led 28-0 in the third quarter.

Jerry Barger led Duke to its only touchdown in the third quarter. One drive was stopped at the Tech 9, but an excellent punt re turn by Fields to the 21 put Tech in hot water again and aided by Charlie and Red Smith, Barger covered the required distance, with Charlie Smith going over. Red converted and the rest of the game was mostly in midfield. Final score: Tech 28, Duke 7.

This win was a coach and team victory, but possibly some singling out should be done. The coaches outsmarted Duke by hitting at their strong points, not where they were supposed to run; Brigman called an excellent game at quarterback; Glenn Turner had his best day at fullback; Pete Brown was superb at offensive center; Sherman was terrific at defensive tackle; Knox and Martin did a fine job against two outstanding tackles; Moorehead intercepted two passes and made a fine runback of a punt; the Morris boys, Larry and George, continued their devastating line backing, and Teas and

Teas sets sail on his 41-yd. run to the Duke one-yd. line early in 2nd period. Hardeman scored on the next play for the third Jacket score.

Hardeman ran and blocked as only they can.

THE STATISTICS Duke Tech




TECH 45, ARMY 6

THE U. S. Military Academy made its first trip into the south for a football

game on November 8, 1952. It was a team that was rebuilding following the cribbing scandal of 1950, and a definite underdog against the Yellow Jackets. The card favored Tech by 21 points, but the Cadets had only lost two of six and those to Southern California and Pittsburgh. Tech was expected to let down following Duke; therefore, most folks were looking for a close game. The Jackets were better than figured or else the Army has a long way to go. Tech's unbeaten string was extended to 22 games at the expense of out-manned Army and before the eyes of 40,000 fans, including much Army brass and other distinguished visitors.

A quick kick by Army put Tech in the hole early in the first quarter. Failing to gain, Dave Davis stood on his 10-yard line and kicked one over the head of the Army safety which rolled dead on the 6-inch line. It is reported officially as an 80-yard punt, which tied the record set by Bob Parham in 1926. It left Army and the fans gasping and Army never got over it. Shortly thereafter, Leon Hardeman fought his way through Army for 24 yards and a touchdown to start Tech on its way. Rodgers converted; his first of six extra points (one from the 17) and a field goal for a perfect day in the placement department. A couple of plays after Tech next got the ball, Leon Hardeman went out of the ball game with a bum ankle. The injury is expected to keep him out of action for two weeks.

A 50-yard drive early in the second quarter ended in Rodgers' field goal as Tech led 10-0. The third Tech score came on a quarterback sneak by Brigman, after Turner, Teas and Pretz had moved the ball goalward. Rodgers made it 17-0.

S P U R T S (Continued from page 19) ARMY-TECH

Army showed its spirit by driving TO yards, culminated by a beautiful run by Attaya for 29 yards and the TD. Hensley blocked the placement; Army had made their bid; never again did they come close to the Tech goal line.

The Jackets scored again seconds before the half. Roger Frey blocked an Army punt, then recoved it on the Army 3. With 10 seconds left, Brigman promptly whipped a pass to Buck Martin in the end zone as Tech went out at the half leading 24-6.

After an excellent half-time show by the Tech band and James Melton, the Tech team came out as if they were behind and the first time they got the ball, moved 54 yards in seven plays for another touchdown. Teas and Turner carried on the ground, Knox caught one and again Martin was the target in the end zone. Rodgers made it 31-6.

Substitutes on both offense and defense were used extensively from this point on, but Army appeared tired and the score mounted. A new backfield with Rodgers at quarterback, Rhino and Gilliland at halves, and Humphreys at fullback plus a new line drove 66 yards, with Humphreys going over for the score. Rodgers made it 38-6.

The next score came on a Rodgers to Austin pass. Austin was covered but took the ball away from the Army defender, wheeled and made a very fine run into the end zone. The play covered 28 yards. Rodgers kicked his placement to the same man in the north stands and the final score stood at 45-6.

Tech used 53 players, all of whom seemed capable and determined to do their job. The defensive team did their usual stellar job, featuring the fine linebacking of Morris and Morris and the end play of Trainer and Hensley. On offense Brown at center; Miller at tackle; Knox and Martin at ends; Brig-man, Teas, Turner, Hardeman, Pretz, Humphreys, Rodgers, etc., all carried their load well. The kicking of Davis was outstanding. The game possibly proved the soundness of our Sugar Bowl selection and should give national recognition to a fine team and coaching staff.

TECH BEE TEAM SPLITS FIRST FOUR GAMES; FRESHMEN WIN ONLY START AGAINST AUBURN

Tech's 1952 edition of the combination Freshman and Bee team has won over Florida and Vanderbilt this season while losing to Tennessee and Alabama. The Bee team dropped a close contest to the junior Vols (7-6) in the season's inaugural in Knoxville. In the second game of the season the 'Jacket Bees trimmed Florida in Gainesville, 20-0.

In their first appearance in front of the homefolks, the Bees rolled over the Vandy Bees at Grant Field 27-0 as quarterback Burton Grant hit his stride. In their last appearance as a combination Freshman-Bee team the T e c h s t e r s dropped a hard fought 19-14 decision to the Alabama squad. Besides quarterback Grant, Bee's Johnny Hunsinger, J immy Morris, Buck Wiley, Ray Anderson, Bill Sennent, Bob McCauley, Franklin Brooks and Dick Hauenstein have been outstanding in the games played to date.

In Tech's Freshman team's only appearance of the season the "Baby Jackets" edged out Auburn in a brutal battle in Auburn, Alabama. Four players from

each team were ejected from the game which went to Tech 13 to 8. The "Frosh" still have their traditional Thanksgiving Day clash with Georgia on the schedule, and it should be another typical Tech-Georgia battle.

Jacket's Backfield Touted In "Sport" Magazine

Tech's backfield is the subject of a feature article in the December issue of Sport magazine, now on sale at all newsstands. Furman Bisher, Sports Editor of the Atlanta Constitution, penned the story which appears under the heading, "The Hottest Backfield in Dixie." The article follows Tech's fortunes during the '51 campaign and makes some strong predictions for this season which at this writing look very accurate. Author Bisher has been an enthusiastic follower of the "Jackets" since he arrived in Atlanta from the Tarheel state and he does a bang-up job on the team for Sport.
