MAY, 1932

MR. JOE Our April issue carried the sad nformation RHODES to all Georgia Tech alumni of the death of Mr. Joseph D. Rhodes on March 31, at Saint Joseph's Infirmary in Atlanta. Mr. Joe's death occured after the publication had gone to press but the number was held up for the inclusion of our only too brief but heartfelt message about the passing of our close and respected friend and companion.

It's hard to realize that " M r . J o e " won't be present when the first whistle is blown for football practice in the fall but it is easy to feel that his presence will always be with the teams. It is also fine to know that his manly influences will carry on to the end of time, through the lives of "his b o y s " and all others with whom he came in contact.

In victory or in defeat, Mr. Joe's loyalty and friendship was ever the same. He gloried in Tech's victories with the modesty of a clean sportsman and he suffered in its defeats with the subdued intensity of a trained athlete. His annual dinners to the football teams were feasts never to be forgotten and the many of those who are the proud holders of trophies from him will have, if possible, an even greater attachment for their tokens which they will ever hold in love and esteem.

Through his beneficence a great number of students were enabled to obtain an education and to go better prepared for their work in the world, and through his generous benefactions his great work endures and w 11 ever endure to the undying memory of Joseph D. Rhodes—"Mr. J o e . " FOOTBALL For the convenience of our alumni who NOTICE expect to be away from home during the early summer, a copy of the annual Football Ticket Letter will be printed in our June number, as usual, to be used if desired in lieu of the regular applications that will be mailed out by the Athletic Association during the latter part of July.

The early orders will be considered as of the opening date of the alumni season ticket sale.

A TIMELY The Georgia Tech Club tof * PhilaCLLIB PLAN delphia has an employment plan that is heartily endorsed and recommended to all other Georgia Tech Clubs and individuals throughout the nation.

Clarence L. Jordan, E. E. 1915, Vice President N. W. Ayer and Son and President of the Philadelphia Club outlines their commendable and progressive step, as follows: "Our plan is to have the Georgia Tech Club of Philadelphia a sort of clearing house to try and assist Georgia Tech alumni in this area in getting jobs.

You know the conditions that surround all of us at present. Even the best men are being let out due to economic necessity and no fault of their own. On the other hand, since most of our graduates are engineers or commerce men connected with engineering firms, we frequently hear of jobs either with our own firms or with those with whom we are associated that might be available to help other alumni who are out of work at present.

Our plan has been to designate the secretary of the club as a clearing house for these jobs. Whenever any alumnus hears of a job he immediately notifies the secretary, and whenever any alumnus s out of work he also notifies the secretary, which means that the man who is out of work can be put in touch with the vacancy right away.

If this plan were extended so that the different clubs also passed along the same notifications, we might be able to do a lot during these times for different alumni who have been forced out of work."

A plan similar to the foregoing one has already been adopted by the Chicago Georgia Tech Club and the National Alumni Office at Georgia Tech is acting in a like capacity for the alumni as a whole. The movement is of great importance and timely. Let's make it nation wide.

GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

May, 1932

gia Atlanta, Georgia April 18, 1932 To THE ALUMNI, UNDERGRADUATES AND FRIENDS OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY: Several weeks ago, notice was sent to the alumni, undergraduates and friends of the Georgia School of Technology, through the "Georgia Tech Alumnus", of the formation of GEORGIA TECH ALUMNI FOUNDATION, INC. This notice called attention to the very valuable services which had been rendered by Messrs. G. M. (Pup) Phillips and G. Everett Strupper in connection with the organization of Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, Inc. Messrs. Phillips and Strupper need no introduction to the majority of the alumni and friends of Georgia School of Technology. Their outstanding achievements, while at Georgia Tech, are so well known as to require no mention here. They are still continuing their work and efforts in the interests of Georgia Tech, and have been successful in securing insurance policies to the extent of approximately $100,000., the principal of which, in some instances, is payable directly to the Alumni Foundation, and, in other instances, the dividends from such policies are payable to the Foundation.

At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees of Georgia Tech Alunni Foundation, Inc., held in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 14, 1932, by unanimous vote it was agreed to endorse the efforts of Messrs.

Phillips and Strupper and request all alumni, undergraduates and friends of Georgia Tech to cooperate with them in every way possible.

Messrs. Phillips and Strupper are representatives of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, and, of course, expect to profit to the same extent any other insurance agent would profit by the sale of insurance. They have spent considerable sums of money and a great deal of effort and time in contacting the various alumni associations throughout the country, and we feel sure every consideration will be given them, both by the various associations and the individuals.

We urgently request you to assist them in every way possible.

ALUMNI OFFICERS [Continued] Mr. A. L. Loeb, First Vice President, M. E., 1913, is Vice President of the Southeastern Bonded Warehouse, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Jack J. Spalding, Second Vice President, M. E., 1911, is President of the New York Tech Club, and connected with Preferred Utilities, Inc., New York City.

Mr. Edw. C. Liddell, Treasurer, B. C. S., 1922, is connected with Beer and Company, Brokers, Atlanta.

The popularity of the out-of-town nominees for the position of vice-president was such that they were separated by margins of only a few votes, and as it is felt that there should be a least three vice-presidents over the country, a constitutional amendment is being proposed to that effect at the annual business meeting of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association. The votes received by all the nominees was quite a flattering tribute to their loyalty and popularity.

As the annual voting and teller's count was concluded just as this issue went to press it will be necessary to wait until September, as usual, for the group picture of your officers. There will be one more issue, in June, which, as a rule, is taken up with annual reports, football ticket application letter, and other routine matter. The Alumnus is not published during the months of July and August.

MR. RHODES NAMES TECH IN WILL Tech is one among the four beneficiaries of the will of Joseph D. Rhodes, who died Mar. 31. The charitable bequests are to come from the income of the Rhodes Building. The trustees are L. W. [Chip] Robert, Jr., '08, Y. F. Freeman, '10 and A. R. Perdue, '21. Their successors are to be Tech alumni. One-third of the income from the Rhodes Building is to be expended for the education of young men at Tech. The men are to be selected according to the qualifications laid down by the board.

ALUMNI MAY BE GREETED OVER RADIO Plans are under way by the Tech Inter-Fraternity Council to arrange for a nation wide radio hookup at its Final Dances this June, whereby prominent officers of Georgia Tech and the National Alumni Association will broadcast their greetings to alumni all over the country.

The Final Dances have always proved an enjoyable part of Commencement Week for the students and local alumni, but this is the first step toward giving these affairs a nation wide interest, and broadcasting a personal message that would reach Tech men the nation over. A popular Eastern orchestra has been signed in Tal Henry and His North Carolinians, who played for some time in a Chicago night club and more recently at several resorts around Virginia.

The hookup, if projected plans materialize successfully, will come Thursday night, June 2, at 9:00 P. M. Central Time. We suggest that you listen in.

TEXTILE STUDENT AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP A. D. Zellner, an undergraduate in the A. French Textile School of the Georgia School of Technology, has been awarded one of the scholarships given by the Textile Foundation of Washington, D. C. Only twenty-four of these scholarships are given each year to outstanding students in a few prominent schools, and it is with considerable pride that this announcement of Mr. Zellner's award is made. Mr. Zellner, who is a resident of Forsyth, Georgia, has made an excellent record in the Textile School, and plans to use this scholarship in continuing his studies there.

BASEBALL RESULTS Coach Dodd's young and aspiring team played its first games of the Dixie Series with Oglethorpe, our rival Atlanta college on April 8 and 9. After a poor start in the first game which was won by Oglethorpe to the tune of 8-0, Tech came back with a bang and won the second game of the series 5-3. The brilliant pitching of Stribling was the high-light of the second game. An unusually large crowd of students and townspeople attended the games, and interest in college baseball seems to be on an upward trend.

The next series was played with the Dixie League champions on April 15 and 16. The first game resulted in 6-6 tie. Both teams played well, and neither seemed to be able to break the final deadlock. A doubleheader was played on the sixteenth, Auburn winning the first game 12-10, and Tech nosing their rivals out in the second game 5-4. Both Auburn and Tech used practically all of their pitchers in these games, and both teams were grateful when the series was over. The outcome of this series came as a surprise to the fans, for Auburn was rated as an overwhelming favorite.

Another series was played with Oglethorpe on April 22 and 23. The team from Oglethorpe proved too much for the Jacket nine and took both games, 7 to 5 and 17 to 1. The youngsters on the Tech team seemed to be unable to hold on to the ball in these games.

On April 26 Florida came to the Rose Bowl and stepped into the lead of the Dixie College Baseball League with a double win over the Jackets, 6 to 4 and 7 to 1. A large crowd of fans saw all kinds of baseball from dumb base running to triples.

Among the new captains for this year and next year we find Ed Foxhall, Lefty Waldrep and Harry Stover.

Ed Foxhall, one of the best hurdlers in the south, was elected captain of the track team for this season.

Charlie LaForge, star quarter-miler, was named alternate captain. Foxhall ranks with the leading cinder stars of Southern Collegiate circles, while LaForge is no less renowned as a quarter-miler.

Lefty Waldrep was elected to captain this year's baseball team. He has been a star for the past two years and has recently been moved to first base to fill the vacancy left by the graduation of Fred Holt, last year's captain. Waldrep has been playing in the outfield up until this year but he is showing up in great style at his new position.

Harry Stover, high scorer of this year's swimming team, was elected captain for next year, and Carl Ingle was selected as alternate captain.

The Georgia Tech swimming team, whose brilliant season is over, deserves a great deal of applause and credit for the masterly way in which they traveled through the year, winning every meet in which they participated.

MEDALS AWARDED GRIDMEN

GRID PRACTICE ENDS WITH MOVIES

Football togs have been put on the shelf until fall, and Jacket gridirion warriors are turning to other sports, or just plain taking it easy after a strenuous campaign.

The football banquet was held on April 8, at the Atlanta Athletic Club. The medals won for the various phases of football fundamentals were presented at the banquet.

The winners were as follows: Punting—Syd Williams; Place Kicking—Wilcox; Passing—McArthur; Line Interference—Laws; Tackling—Wink Davis; Down Under Punts—Vierick; Pass Receiving—Hart.

Both Slaughter and Gillespie gave Williams a close race for the punting honors; but the consistency with which he punted gave Williams the necessary margin to win. Lackey was second in both place kicking and line interference. In the passing Hart pushed McArthur for a close seocnd. Barron was runner up in pass receiving. Cherry was second in tackling.

Representatives of RKO-Pathe pictures were at Tech the week of March 24th taking pictures of the Yellow Jackets in action during spring training to be shown in Grantland Rice's "Sportlights." Stumpy Thomason brought back memories of Tech's 1928 championship team when he appeared to participate in making the pictures. Bobby Dodd, backfield coach, gave an exhibition of pass throwing and Jack Cannon, line coach, gave several exhibitions of line play.

The week brought to a close one of the most successful periods of spring football in recent years. Several men from last year's freshman team were outstanding in scrimmages and should be a valuable aid to the varsity next fall. Among them are Jack Phillips, fullback; and "Pee Wee" Williams, tackle.

The team was fortunate in suffering a minimum of injuries during spring practice.

Coach Alexander expressed himself as well pleased with the showing made by the players, and he is looking forward to a much improved Golden Tornado next year.

TECH BOXER TO COMPETE IN OLYMPIC TRIALS Hard luck again pursued Elmo Freyer, Tech's outstanding welterweight contender, in his efforts to to annex a major amateur championship. Freyer has twice been entered in amateur tourneys and after making great showings in the early rounds has been forced to default because of an abscessed ear that has been bothering him all season.

Mike Chambers has announced that Freyer would be invited to the Olympic trials despite the fact that he was forced to withdraw in the semi-final round.

The officials in charge of the Olympics witnessed the tournament and were well pleased with the showing put up by the Tech entry.

TECH GOLFERS DEFEAT TULANE The Tulane golf team, although boasting two such stellar players as Jess Rainwater and Red Shulze, both of whom were formidable contenders in the Southern Conference golf tournament last year, were recently defeated by the Georgia Tech links quartet, 1 2 ^ to 5.

Charlie Dannals, Jr., with a 74, and Pratt Brown, with a 77, proved the deciding pair for the White and Gold cause, winning all nine points in their match with Clark Collins and Jack Schwab, after Rainwater and Shulze had gained a 53^ to 33^ edge over George Harris and Frank Ridley, of Tech.

On April first the team continued its victorious march by defeating Furman University at East Lake, Atlanta, by a score of 14 to 4.

This year's golf team has enjoyed a better success than any in recent years, and considering that it will be strengthened next year by the addition of two such outstanding players as Charlie Yates and Berrien Moore, Jr., it is easy to see that the links prospects are about as bright as can be boasted by any college in the south.

R. O. T. C. CAMPS TO BEGIN JUNE 8 Summer camps for members of the advanced military units will begin June 8, and last for six weeks, it was announced by Major Longino, Commandant of the Georgia Tech R. 0. T. C. unit.

The Infantry unit will be stationed at Anniston, Alabama; the Artillery unit at Pensacola, Florida; The Signal Corps at Fort Benning, Georgia; and the Ordnance at Aberdeen, Maryland. Several of the regular army officers will be stationed with their respective units during camp.

Competitive activities will be stressed at the camps.

The athletics will include boxing, tennis, track, baseball, and swimming. The other colleges with whom Tech will compete at the different camps include: Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Citadel, Louisiana State University, Clemson, Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical, Davidson, Boston Tech, and the University of Cincinnati.

They're clicking with millions . . . You see m o r e Chesterfields smoked every day...Here's why...

They're milder. They contain the mildest tobaccos that money can buy.

They taste better. Rich aroma of Turkish tobacco and mellow sweetness of Domestic.

They're pure. Everything that goes into them is tested by expert chemists.

They satisfy. You break open a clean, tight-sealed package. You light up a well-filled cigarette. They Satisfy! All you could ask for.

Hear the Chesterfield Radio Program.

Every night except Sunday.
