G-E Campus News T h e y built a machine with an 8-inch flexible metal throat and an amazing appetite. N o t content with devouring copra, this machine gobbles up shiploads of potash, soda ash, borax, shale, grain, n u t s — and even nibbles at the shirts, trousers, and hats of bystanders.

CENTLESS CIRCUITS Conspicuous in nightmares of power company officials are ingenious, economical h u m a n beings who tinker with electric circuits, who rig up outlandish b u t convenient wiring. As a crowning touch t o their handiwork, when fuses blow they use a penny. Lights go on. Protection goes out the cellar window.

T o foil these handy-men-about-the-house, and to end blown-fuse troubles forever, G . E . has developed an ounce of protection — a little circuit breaker t o replace the old-fashioned fuse box. I t looks very much like an ordinary lighting wall-switch. W h e n a " s h o r t " occurs, t h e arc is interrupted inside a small, closed, metal chamber in 0.008 of a second. A mere flip of the handle restores service.

Protection? T h e performance is so mild you can hear nothing and see nothing, even when 5000 amperes are being interrupted. And the breaker is safe and foolproof, too. T h e complete line will include ratings from 15 t o 600 amperes. Let no more bridged-fuse bogeys disturb anyone's slumbers.

J. W. Seaman, Antioch College, '29, was very active in this development.

HATS OFF TO THIS ONE T h e Sutorbilt Corporation of Los Angeles had a problem — to remove dried cocoanut meat (it's copra in t h e tropics) from a ship's hold t o railroad cars a t the r a t e of one ton every 60 seconds. T h a t sounds like a lot of d.c.m. t o most people — b u t it had t o be done.

How? A G-E compensator starts a 150-hp. motor.

An air compressor comes u p t o speed. N a t u r e begins to "abhor a v a c u u m , " and u p comes everything b u t the b o t t o m of the ship. If you have a cellar full of copra to be moved — or any similar problem — let us know.

STITCHING STEEL W h y n o t use vacuum tubes for speeding-up welders?

So thought our engineers as they were working on the problem of stitching steel plates together with the rapidity of a sewing machine.

T h y r a t r o n - t u b e control for resistance seam welders resulted. H . W. Lord, '26 graduate of the California Institute of Technology, received a Charles A. Coffin Foundation Award* for developing an accurate timing circuit using T h y r a t r o n tubes — an import a n t p a r t of the control. I n d u s t r y obtained a new high-speed production tool.

This control, when applied to line- or spot-welding machines, permits 1200 current interruptions per minute. T h u s , it makes possible t h e stitching together of thin metal sheets t o form gas-tight and watertight seams. Thyratron-controlled machines will weld stainless steel, mild steel, chromium- and cadmiumplated steel, aluminum alloys, and m a n y other materials. Steel barrels, pails, milk cans, and gasoline tanks are j u s t a few of the m a n y products now produced faster as a result of T h y r a t r o n welding control. *A highly-prized company award, named after one of t h e founders of General Electric, that is awarded annually to selected employees for meritorious service.

Home Coming Broadcast November 24 Bobby Jones on Program "Georgia Tech" will be the feature of the entire program of WSM, Nashville, Tenn., on Friday night, November twentyfourth, from 7:30 to 8:00 o'clock, C. S. T. The broadcast is one of a series of college programs that is being sponsored by the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, and the Georgia Tech date was arranged to conform with the time of the annual home coming in Atlanta.

Robert T. "Bobby" Jones, Jr., will represent the alumni on the program and Bill Munday will describe some recent interesting events.

Bob Jones has just completed his two-year term of office as President of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association, and is an alumni member of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association Board—to say nothing of the fact that he is Tech's greatest athlete and the greatest that the golf world will probably ever know.

Bill Munday made "crap shooting" huddle formations famous—and himself as well—at the Rose Bowl on January first 1929 when Georgia Tech's great team of 1928 defeated the Golden Bears of California in that memorable and hard fought struggle for the national football championship.

Spectacular Home Coming November 25

Technique Issues Home Coming Number

Plans have been completed for one of the most spectacular home-comings in the history of Georgia Tech for the weekend of November 25.

As previously stated in this issue, the Georgia Tech Home Cuming Broadcast will he given from 7:30 to 8:0(1 P.M., Friday, November 24th. Individual class reunion banquets will be held on the same night, and the general home-coming luncheon will take place in the Brittain Memorial Dining Hall at 12:00 o'clock Saturday, November 25th, on the Georgia Tech campus.

As a matter of novelty, service, and economy, the luncheon will be served on the cafeteria plan. A variety of excellent food will be obtainable at a price to suit any purse. The entire north wing of the Tech Dining Hall will be reserved for the alumni home-coming luncheon.

A feature of the luncheon will be the presentation of the 1933 class memorial portrait by the members of Georgia Tech's most recent graduates, in addition to other marks of esteem that will be shown in the permanent placement of the portraits of Dr. I. S. Hopkins, Dr. Emerson, and Dr. Coon.

The classes of 1893, '98, 1903, '08, '13, '18, '23, '28, and '33 will hold their home-coming reunions on Home-Coming Day. Members of these classes are requested to communicate with their respective class secretaries and make arrangements for the reunions on that day.

Class numerals will designate the sections where each class is holding a reunion in the dining hall.

Secretaries of the reunion classes are: H. H. Norman, '93, Atlanta; C. D. Honiker, '98, Atlanta; P. M. Peteet, '03, Atlanta; George W. McCarty, Jr., '08, Atlanta; Charles Hammond, '13, Atlanta; James S. Budd, '18, Atlanta; C. M. Kennedy, '23, Atlanta; Jack Holman, '28, Paris, Tenn.; \Yillard Turnbull, "33, New York City.

There will be plenty of free parking space for the luncheon and throughout the Tech-Georgia game which will begin at 2:00 o'clock after the adjournment of the luncheon at 1:00 P.M. sharp. The stadium is directly across Techwood Drive from the Dining Hall so there will be no delay in getting to the football classic of the year from the luncheon.

The Anak Senior Society will present a memorial to Major General Leonard Wood, between the halves of the game. The fraternity houses and the school will hold "open house" on Home Coming Day for the alumni, their families and friends.

The luncheon, as usual, is also open to all alumni, their families, and friends.

No alumnus should miss this gala day, so it is suggested that all of you "pour in" your reservations for the luncheon, and the game at once. Don't forget about your hotel reservations, either.

According to announcement by the staff of The Technique, weekly news publication of Georgia Tech students, a special Home-coming number is to be published November IB. In addition to the regular circulation, copies of this special issue will be distributed to each alumnus whose name and address is on file in the Alumni Office. Many features of particular interest to Tech alumni are to appear in this number with the added feature of a rotogravure section as an insertion.

The Home-coming issue is sent to the alumni as a compliment of The Technique staff with the hope that it will bring about closer contact between the alumni and student activities. As the official organ of the Tech student body we cannot recommend The Technique too highly to the alumni as a real value for the subscription price. We feel that a subscription, in addition to that of the ALUMNUS, would be a real worth while addition to each alumnus' contact with his school.

To those alumni who, as executives, have contact with the publicity department of their organizations, and if the publicity is such that it receives college publication attention, the staff of The Technique would greatly appreciate any addition in the way of advertisements.

Executive members of the staff are: I. L. Kuniansky, editor; James Morgan, managing editor; Rudolf Cisco, business manager; Douglas Bullard, circulation manager.

Home Coming Broadcast A sketch of Georgia Tech's history from its founding to the present time will be given, and several thrilling chapters from the lives and deeds of some of the outstanding alumni will be dramatized over the air for the occasion.

WSB, Atlanta, is going to relay the broadcast so the hook up should reach all Tech alumni, friends and supporters, wherever they may be. The broadcast will be of such general interest that it will afford one of the best radio entertainments of the year for all listeners.

Tech clubs and alumni throughout the nation are preparing to hold radio parties as the guests of the sponsors and in connection with the home coming festivities. Home comers and members of the reunion classes in Atlanta, at the time, will meet at the Atlanta clubs and hotels for the homo coming radio program.

Tech-Georgia Freshmen In Charity Game Another annual Thanksgiving Day struggle has been inaugurated for Atlanta football fans with the bringing together of the Teeh and Georgia freshman teams in a charity game at Grant Field, to take the place of the old Tech-Auburn Turkey Day rivalry.

The game is to be sponsored by the Yaraab Shrine Temple of Atlanta with proceeds going to the Scottish Kite Hospital for Crippled Children.

The Baby Yellow Jackets and the Georgia Bullpups always put up a great scrap and, together with this prospect of an interesting battle and the worthiness of the cause, one of the largest crowds for a freshman game in history should be on hand to witness the battle.

In addition to the game the Shriners are planning to stage a show of their own to add to the attraction of the day's proceedings. It is hoped that many of the Tech alumni will give their support by attending the game.

Alumni Board To Hold Monthly Meetings At the October 25th meeting of the Executive Board of the National Alumni Association, it was decided to hold monthly meetings for the time being, at least. The first of the meetings began on November seventh and the others will be held on the afternoons of the first Tuesday of each succeeding month.

Alumni other than the officers and board members will be invited to attend the monthly meetings with the idea of enlisting their co-operation and getting their views on alumni matters in general.

Plans for the annual home coming, dinners for the fool ball team, the Freshman Thanksgiving game, publicity and the like, were discussed at the meeting, and the entire board voted to start a movement to promote a greater alumni interest in school and alumni affairs. The results of this action will be evident in the near future and will continue throughout the year. The monthly reports will be carried in the current issues of this publication.

Tech Mourns Passing of Dr. Morton

D R . A. B. M O R T O N

Beloved Professor and Friend

A. B. Morton, 63, professor of mathematics at Georgia Tech for 34 years and dean of the summer school for many years, died suddenly October 13th, at his home in Atlanla.

A native of Pennsylvania, Professor Morton was a graduate of Brown University, Rhode Island, where he took his A.B. and A.M. degrees. He was a Phi Beta Kappa.

In 1924 the University of Georgia honored him with the degree of doctor of science.

Professor Morton came to Georgia Tech in 1899 as head of the mathematics department at the university. He was one of the oldest professors in point of service at the institution.

Fifteen years ago he was made dean of the Georgia Tech Summer School and continued in that capacity to his death.

In his office as dean of the summer school he was the advisor of hundreds of students who took summer work. It was thiough his efforts that the work in the summer school was raised to the same high rating as that of the regular school.

ALL'MNI RESOLUTIONS Mr. Rhodes Perdue, president of the Tech Alumni Association, expresses the great vacancy left by Professor Morton with the accompanying resolutions.

W H E R E A S , Dr. Allan B. Morton, professor of mathematics at Georgia Tech and dean of the summer school, and one who was deeply beloved by us all, is gone from our midst, never to return; therefore he it RESOLVED, That while we deeply deplore the death of our friend and companion, we give thanks that we had the privilege of knowing him, and sharing his companionship while he was among us here, and that during so great a part of his time on earth he was to us a beacon, ever directing and guiding aright, not only in the science of mathematics, but in the finer science of living itself.

Not one of us hut feels the richer for contact with his spirit of friendliness, breadth and vision.

RESOLVED, That we feel pride in his influence upon his school, and upon the life of his mates, and upon his achievements as a scholar, professor and gentleman, and that we hold in affectionate remembrance his efforts to keep our standards at a high level and in upholding clean dealings in all we attempt.

RESOLVED, That as members of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association, we transmit a copy of these resolutions to his family with expression of our deepest and most sincere sympathy.

W . E. W o o d / 0 7 , Receives High Honor Mr. William E. Wood, E.E. '07, was recently elected to the presidency of the American Transit Association, formerly the Electric Railway Association, and one of the biggest trade associations in the country. The honor of heading the organization was delegated to Mr. Wood in recognition of his pre-eminent leadership in the transportation industry; and it follows his election three years ago as vice-president of the association.

As operating vice-president of the Engineers Public Service Company, Mr. Wood manages a strong group of power, gas, and transportation properties.

After graduating from Georgia Tech in 1907, Mr. Wood had the job of steering a ''one man" street car in Jacksonville, Fla., as an employee of the Stone and Webster Company; before he left, however, he became superintendent of transportation. Later he was made executive in charge of the company's operations in El Paso and Houston, Texas, and Richmond, Va., respectively.

Mr. Wood resigned his position with Stone and Webster, after a brilliant career with the organization, to assume his present business duties as vice-president of the Engineers Public Service Company.

Tech To Honor General W o o d A t Home Coming Game A memorial plaque to Major General Wood will be unveiled with ceremonies during the intermission period of the TechGeorgia game on November twenty-fifth, on Grant Field.

The memorial will be given by Anak, one of the two senior honorary societies at Georgia Tech.

Major General Wood was captain, coach and star of the first Georgia Tech football team,' in 1893, and was in the midst of the first battle for supremacy between Tech and Georgia. The unveiling of the plaque will mark the fortieth anniversary of the Tech-Georgia battle.

Surviving members of both Tech and Georgia teams of 1893 will be guests of honor at this game. On the speakers' program are General Edward King, commander of the Fourth Corps Area, and Dr. M. L. Brittain, president of Tech.

Major General Wood became an international figure and was governor of the Philippines at the time of his death in 1927. He received numerous honors for exceptional services and gallantry and honorary degrees from several colleges.

Among the members of the 1893 Tech team were W. W. Hunter, Captain and right halfback; General Wood, himself, who played guard; T. W. Raoul, President Biltmore Estates, Biltmore, North Carolina; Park Howell, fullback; John Kimball, quarterback; E. A. Werner, tackle; Nourse, a tackle; George Forest, guard; Frank Spain, center; M. McRae, center, of Eastman, Ga.; J. F . Ogletree, Cornelia, Ga.; T. Holmes, Lawley, Ala.; Haskell, right end; G. V. Heidt, E. R. Whitney, Ferd Kaufman, guard, a chief booster of the Tech team today, and IV. G. Mealor, manager.

Tech and Georgia Players of 1893 Send Interesting Letters Several intensely interesting letters have been received from both Tech and Georgia players of 1893, two of which are, as follows: "Mr. Geo. C. Griffin, Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: I appreciate your kind thought in asking me to meet with your association on the 25th inst., in the ceremony of unveiling a memorial to General Leonard Wood. I t is my pleasure to accept, and will thank you to advise me the hour of the day of the program.

We cannot at this time call the complete roll of the '93 team. I t is possible that somewhere in my dunnage, we may have a photograph of the team, or some descriptive clipping.

If anything worth while can be found will be pleased to send it to you.

Walter Howard, then City Editor of The Atlanta Journal, did a big work for us in advertising and news items in promoting the schedule of games. If the Journal has a file of their paper for the months of September, October and November of '93 and will let you refer to them, no doubt you will find very valuable information for your program.

General Wood, at that time Post Surgeon at Fort McPherson, was taking a special course in the wood shop at Tech; using some part of occasional afternoons for that detail. In his contact with the faculty and student body, reference was made to the need of a football team. He became the prime mover in creating interest and took the initiative in the organization of the team.

Doctor Wood and a few of the kindred spirits formed the '93 Football Association. Wood and Nourse (Tulane) did the mechanics in picking and training the team. Frank 0. Spain.

Adjunct Professor of Mathematics, Arthur Solomon, '93 and the writer were named Managing Directors of the organization. Ours was the detail to provide the money. Association

stock was offered and sold at $2.50 per share to the faculty, student body and others.

Frank Spain was made center on the team; Solomon was in a huddle with the chief of the Engineering Department and due to these contingencies they very kindly designated to me the honor of being the roustabout, secretary and treasurer, office boy, etc. The designation "Manager" was never quite attained, yet we got a deal of pleasure out of our effort, with the opportunity of many pleasant contacts.

One of the very distinct incidents of the whole season was the pleasure of giving to Jim Saylor Coon (Old Sy) his original $2.50 subscribed for ONE SHARE of stock and $2.50 dividend. I was told about twenty years later, that the 100 per cent profit on his investment made him a howling football fan.

The team played only three games, Mercer at Macon (George Stallings, Manager, later with the Boston Braves); the University at Athens (James Dunlap, Gainesville, Manager); and St. Albans, from somewhere in Virginia, at Piedmont Park.

We lost the game on Thanksgiving to St. Albans on a fluke

by Whitney; the other two Ave beat easily, yet the one at Athens became memorable.

I have been told, that in later years, General Wood made the remark that he had met over one hundred men AA'ho had played in the game at Athens. You can imagine that it Avas some comfort to him to be remembered so generously.

The Tech of '93 and its activities Avere most meager as compared to the institution of today. Many of the then members of the faculty and student body have passed on. They laid the foundation for the great accomplishments which have come into the record of the institution in the forty years since then, and have left a valued and priceless heritage to you Avho are noAV carrying on.

I trust that the program of your memorial testimonial to General Wood may be der-eloped to the fullest extent.

Yours very truly, (Signed) W. G. MEALOR.

Tech Honors General W o o d tioned at Fort McPherson as an army surgeon, played a guard (left, I think) on the Tech team, having matriculated at Tech. You probably do not know that Doctor Wood was undoubtedly the most experienced player on the field that day—and one of the heaviest also,—as I remember him. He was said to have participated in fifty intercollegiate football games and his playing that day was spectacular in every respect. On defense, we could make no gains at all in his part of the line; Doctor Wood handled my guard playing against him as if he were a child. In fact, Wood broke through repeatedly, the instant the ball was snapped, smashing our plays before they got started. My guard was so humiliated at his failure to stop Wood that I could never get him to don a uniform again; he quit football thereafter and declined to have his picture taken with the squad or his name appear in the list of players; under these circumstances, I, too, shall not give you his name now.

Trusting that your plans will be successful in every way and that I shall have my material returned when you are through with it, I am, Yours cordially, (Signed) GEO. P. BUTLER.

Announcement of the appointment of Mr. Robert Gregg to the presidency of Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company was recently made in New York. He succeeds Mr. H. C. Ryding, who retired under the pension plan of the company after the completion of his long term of service.

Mr. Gregg was the former president of the Atlantic Steel Company at Atlanta. On August 1, 1932, he concluded twentysix years of service with that corporation to become vicepresident of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company.

In 1908 Mr. Gregg became connected with the Atlantic Steel Company, starting in the open hearth department and working through all the departments to the position of chief executive. Following his graduation from Tech he received a degree from Cornell University, and then began his services with the steel company.

George G . Crawford, ' 9 0 , Pres. JonesLaughlin, Former PresidentT.C.I.R. R.Co. It is interesting to record that Mr. Gregg is the second Georgia Tech graduate to become president of the T. C. I. & R. R. Co., as Mr. George G. Crawford, 1890, became president of the company in 1907 and remained until 1930 when he resigned to take his present office as president of the JonesLaughlin Corporation in Pittsburgh, one of the largest steel corporations in the world. Mr. Crawford and Mr. Henry Smith, of Dalton, Georgia, were the two first graduates from Georgia Tech, constituting the entire class of 1890. Incidentally, Mr. Crawford is the only Tech graduate who has received a doctor's degree from the institution.

It's quite a distinction for one institution to be represented so highly in one of the world's greatest industries.

Tech 3 9 , Clemson 2 Under a broiling sun the Yellow Jackets opened their 1983 campaign against the cream of Dixie footballdom by scoring' an impressive victory over the Clemson Tigers to the tune of 39 to 2. The Tech eleven was truly "hot" dashing up and down the Grant Field for score after score.

Approximately 15,000 fans, one of the largest crowds for an opening game in several years, saw the Tech eleven take complete command of the situation to trounce the fighting Tigers. The Jackets showed speed, power, and deception to verify the prediction that they would be the best machine since the 1928 championship eleven. Nineteen first downs and 357 yards from snap were registered for Tech to two first downs and 67 yards for Clemson.

Strangely enough the Tigers made the first score, a safety, caused by a confused signal on the part of the Engineers.

The ball was passed bv- Shaw over the goal line, and Fullback Norris Dean had just sufficient time to cover the ball to save a touchdown, but costing the loss of two points. From then on through the game it was all Tech.

The first Tech score was the result of a 55-yard drive early in the second quarter culminated by a touchdown plunge byWink Davis. Most of the yardage was gained by passes from Phillips and Dean and smashing bucks by Davis and Phillips.

Dave Wilcox's try for the extra point was blocked. To end the scoring for the half the Jackets marched 66 yards for the touchdown and Wilcox was successful in place-kicking the extra point try. Passes from Phillips to Davis and Galloway, and spectacular running by Martin, sophomore star, were the features of the drive with Phillips finally going over for the score.

Two Tech tackles figured in on the third touchdown. Williams blocked Troutman's punt on the Clemson 20-yard marker and Co-Captain Bob Tharpe seized the pigskin and dashed across the goal line. The next scoring opportunity came when Galloway recovered a Tiger fumble on Clemson's 18. A pass from Galloway to Spradling, end, placed the ball on the one-yard line, and Davis carried it over. The fifth touchdown was a result of a 29-yard drive with Galloway, Pug Boyd, and Billy Street covering the distance in four plays. Street made the score on his first varsity performance.

Eddie Laws converted the extra point. Martin, Phillips, and Street carried the burden in the final touchdown, a drive of 47 yards, following a sensational punt return of 38 yards by Shorty Roberts.

The Clemson eleven was considerably weakened in morale, as well as in battle resources, by the absence of Henry Woodward, brilliant baekfield ace, upon whom Mike Chambers, Tech trainer, worked hard to get him in shape for the fray.

Tech 6, Kentucky 7

Tech 16, Auburn 6

Despite the fact that the Tech eleven completely outplayed the Kentucky team in all departments except kicking, the Wildcats eked out a 7-to-6 verdict in the Jackets first invasion of the Bluegrass country.

The magic toe of Ralph Kercheval, stellar Wildcat fullback, proved the downfall of the Jackets, as it was responsible for the one-point margin and also the splendid punts that held the Engineers at bay. Kentucky struck first blood as a result of a long pass, the receiver being pulled down on the Tech one-yard line. The ball was bucked over on the third down for the score, and Kercheval converted the extra-point try.

This score came while several substitutes were in the Tech line-up. The Engineers first-stringers came rushing in at that point, and before many minutes had elapsed Jack Phillips, the bull rhinoceros of the Flats, had scored a touchdown after a furious plunging attack from the thirty-yard marker. John Wilcox, promising sophomore guard, failed to make the tying point, and there the count stood at the half.

Throughout the third period Kercheval's magnificent punts kept the Jackets away from the promised land. Midway in the last period Phillips opened up a passing attack that sailed the Jackets along fifty yards down to the Kentucky nine. Once more Phillips zoomed a pass that Wink Davis pulled in but was tackled just two scant yards from the goal.

First down and two to go. Davis was stopped cold at the line. Then with the big blue line massed for another plunge, Quarterback Charley Galloway called another pass, this time to ' ' Sundial Martin, sophomore triple-threat star, which was barely incomplete. Another pass was elected, but the ball was batted down in the end zone, and that ended the scoring threats.

Tech made twelve first downs to three for Kentucky, but the offense was a bit ragged when most needed. The Jackets showed what was normal development for the second game of a season. The defense was almost impregnable except for the costly pass that gave Kentucky the opportunity to push over a touchdown. The animated, inspired play of the Wildcats, who for years have wrecked championship hopes of many teams, was just a trifle too much for the Tech aggregation. Tech lost to Kentucky last year on a questionable decision.

Many Tech alumni were on hand for the game. Among those who registered at the Tech headquarters were: L. W. "Chip" Robert, W. E. Rudolf, 0. F . Stark, Matheson, Andrew Weinman, H. F . Rozier, Bill Hendrix, Ralph M. Woodside.

Felton McConnell, C. K. Torrence, D. S. Kerr, Clifford J. Roberts, Chas. R. Jones, J. F . Daniel, Jr., Albert Davis, T. R. Foster, W. E. Dimmock, Shelnut, Tom Wilson J. E. Minter, P. A. McArthur, Rhodes Perdue and Ferd Kaufman.

In one of the most spectacular and hair-raising struggles since the beginning of relations in 1892, Tech and its formidable rival, Auburn, desperately fought for four periods with the Jackets finally emerging victor on the long end of a 16 to 6 score.

The scrapping Jackets stunned 20,000 rabid fans by jumping into a 16 to 0 lead over the Tigers, undefeated at that time since the season of 1931, and then tenaciously struggling to stem the late Auburn attack. The Tigers were apparently paralyzed by the ferocity of the Jacket attack and only began to find themselves in the second half.

The fighting Tech line and the individual brilliance of Jack Phillips and Shorty Roberts, clever quarterback, were largely responsible for the victory.

The first time the Jackets set hands on the ball they swept the Tigers off their feet by a magnificent 60-yard march across the goal. Shortly after the kickoff Roberts caught a punt and was downed on the Tech 40. With Wink Davis, Phillips, Martin, and Roberts leading the assault the ball was advanced to the 17-yard line. There Roberts called an end run, but with no one to receive the ball from him, he faded back before the rush of Auburn linemen and seeing "twenty grand" Slocum in the clear over the goal line, shot a beautiful pass to him. It would have been an easy catch for Slocum, but Kimbrell, desperately trying to break up the pass, illegally interfered with Slocum, and Tech was given the ball on the one-yard marker as a penalty for the interference. From there Phillips smashed the Tiger line for the score and Dave Wilcox applied his toe successfully for the extra point.

Shortly after, still in the first period, the aggressive Tech team again capitalized on a scoring opportunity. With the Tigers back to the wall Kimbrell, attempting to kick out from behind his goal, received a partially bad pass from center, fumbled it and was downed behind his own goal line to give the Jackets two additional points and a 9 to 0 lead.

No scoring was accomplished in the second period, but the play was nevertheless very spectacular. Auburn advanced the ball to the Tech 8-yard marker only to be repulsed by the powerful Gold and White line and the splendid backing up work of Jack Phillips. Auburn again asserted itself, but the assault was broken up by Phillips on the Teeh 18 when he snagged in an Auburn pass with a seemingly impossible one-hand catch and returned it 52 yards. He was almost away for a touchdown but was finally pulled down on the Auburn 27.

During the third period there occurred the most spectacular play of the day in which the brilliance of Roberts and Phillips again stood out. With first down on the Auburn 48, Phillips dropped back to pass, was almost smothered by an avalanche of Tigers, spotted Roberts at the line of scrimmage just getting up from his blocking assignment, and just managed to get the ball off before he was deluged with tacklers.

Roberts caught the pass and then weaved his way with fine blocking assistance through numerous Tiger tacklers for a touchdown. Dave Wilcox again converted and Tech led 16 to 0.

Auburn came to life and soon pushed over a score by nice work from Rogers, Talley, and Phipps. In an effort to gain quickly the Tigers opened up a passing attack, one of the best ever seen at Grant Field, that had the Jackets gasping for breath. Phipps was doing the throwing, and he gave a remarkable exhibition. The Teeh boys staved off the final attack, getting possession of the ball on their own 13 to end the game.

The game showed that the Jackets had a gift for extempore in improvising plays. Also, Phillips established himself as one of the greatest fullbacks in Teeh history.

Tech 10, North Carolina 6

Tech 0 , Tulane 7

Before a large home-coming crowd at North Carolina, the Tech eleven met stubborn opposition from an inspired, though supposedly weak, Tarheel team, but managed to emerge victor by a 10 to 6 count.

A neatly kicked field goal by Dave Wilcox and a 78-yard march culminated by a touchdown plunge by Jack Phillips from the one-yard line proved to be the winning factors. The Tarheels fought gamely and succeeded in holding the Jackets scoreless throughout the first half.

Coach Alexander's plan of using the reserves was curtailed by the unexpected strength of the Carolina team. Instead the regulars had a difficult time in pushing over the two scores.

Following three scoreless periods, Tech took the ball on the North Carolina 37, after an 18 yard punt return by Roberts, and began to function. A pass, Roberts to Gibson, sophomore star end, netted 16 yards and first down. Phillips rammed the line for nine yards more, and Martin barely made it a first down on the Tarheel 10. Phillips, on two bucks, was good for two yards, but a pass, Phillips to Davis was incomplete. With eight yards to go and last down, Roberts called for a field goal. With Roberts holding the ball Wilcox neatly place-kicked the ball between the goal posts for three points.

A few plays later Roberts took a quick kick almost at his own goal and weaved out to his 22. Martin was called around right end and was good for 23 yards. Then Wink Davis took the ball on a reverse and raced down the sidelines to the two-yard line where he was just bumped out of bounds.

Phillips on two plays carried it across and Wilcox made good the extra point.

The Tarheels then showed real spirit by coming back and scoring directly from the kick-off. The gains were largely from Tarheel passes. The game ended with the Jackets in possession of the ball on their 20.

The Tarheels were the first team to successfully hold Jack Phillips in check, Phillips' longest run being 17 yards. Wilcox, Williams, Gibson, Slocum, and Spradling played effectively in the Tech line while Shorty Robert's punt returns were constantly spectacular.

Among the alumni who registered at the Tech headquarters for the North Carolina game were: Carl Bahrt, '24; Grant Carey, '32; Charlie Collins, '25; Alex R. Davis, '26; Ferd Kaufman, '94; George T. Marehmont, '07; Mr. Montgomery Hill, '11, Mrs. Hill and son; Rhodes Perdue, ' 2 1 ; Mr. L. W. Robert, Jr., '08, and Mrs. Robert; Mr. L. W. Robert H I , '34, and Mrs. Robert; Ira Siimmerlin, '16; R. J. Thiesen, '10; E. M. Underwood, Jr., '30; Mr. H. W. Weeks, '23, and Mrs. Weeks; Mr. Mitchell Wooten, '26, and Mrs. Wooten; and others.

On a mud-soaked field Tulane's Green Wave splattered to victory over the Yellow Jackets by a 7 to 0 score as a result of a sensational 101-yard kick-off return touchdown gallop by Bucky Bryan, Greenie sophomore touchdown-getter.

Exactly fifteen minutes before game time a deluge of rain began falling which soon had Grant Field looking like a mill pond. It continued for the better part of the first period to put a definite stop to anything but straight football. From then on it was just a matter of whom was the better mud-horse. Tulane getting the verdict by virtue of Bryan's spectacular jaunt after receiving the second half kick-off from Dave Wilcox.

The condition of the field made a decided change of offense with both teams. Tulane, heralded as a team that mainly used a complex system of double, triple, lateral, forwardlateral, and forward passes, realized the futility of such an attack, while Coach Alexander's boys did not have the opportunity of capitalizing on Phillip's passing ability. Tulane was supposed to have been a fumbling team, but in spite of the weather, only several fumbles were registered against them and each was successfully recovered.

Tech had three great scoring opportunities, but could not manage to convert any of them into points. Early in the second quarter Jack Phillips raced from his own 48 to the Tulane 10-yard line. Phillips had dropped back to punt, but lie juggled the pass from center, realized that he had no time to get off a kick, and tore out around right end. Bryan evaded three Tech blockers, to pull Phillips down on the 10yard line. Three downs resulted in only three yard's gain, so Phillips dropped back to pass to Slocum, the pass falling incomplete back of the goal line.

The opening of the second half found the Jackets bewildered

by Bryan's run. It was a beautiful exhibition of individual brilliance and perfect blocking. Tommy Spradling, the last Tech man was taken out about the 30-yard line. Shortly after this play Spradling and Williams rushed in to block Bryan's punt, Williams falling on the ball on the Tulane 8-yard marker. Here was Tech's big chance. Phillips was stopped for no gain. Galloway hit tackle for 4 yards and then two more. With fourth down and two to go. The lines crouched down and Phillips smashed forward, missing a score by inches.

Phillips' play in this game was again outstanding for Tech.

The mighty fullback was the leading ground gainer, played a bang-up defensive game, and punted 16 times for the splendid wet game average of 37 yards. Twelve times Tulane had the ball within her 20-yard line and twice the punts were grounded on the two-yard line. Tech gained 103 yards from scrimmage to 52 for Tulane. Tech won in everything but touchdowns, which, however, is the only thing that counts.

Tech 6, Vanderbilt 9

Dormitory for Upper Classes

With victory almost in their grasp the Yellow Jackets met defeat in a last minute rally by Vanderbilt, as a Commodore decoy pass receiver snatched a semi-blocked heave and trotted across the goal for the winning score.

The Tech eleven played the best all-around football of all its performances of the season only to lose on a tough break.

Vandy was held completely in cheek, never getting within the Tech 30-yard line until late in the game.

For three quarters the teams had played marvelous defensive football, neither team being able to push over a score, although the Jackets drove down to the five-yard marker only to be held for downs. A try for a field goal by Dave Wilcox went wild to end the scoring threat.

Just before the third quarter ended, John Fool, Tech center, intercepted a pass and returned it to Vandy's 46-yard line.

Charlie Galloway then sprinted 16 yards around end to place the ball on the 30-yard marker, as the period ended. On the first play of the final quarter, Galloway faded back to pass, saw no receiver open and then ran for a 9 yard gain. Jack Phillips rammed the line for first down on the Vandy 18.

The big fellow plunged again but was held for no gain. Then Galloway started wide to his right, as though for a sweeping end run. Instead, he shot a pass while on the dead run.

Wilbur Peterson, also on the dead run, snagged the ball as he crossed the goal for a touchdown. The try for the extra point failed, but Tech had a good 6-point lead.

The Tech score seemed to set off a spark in the Tandy team. Shortly after the touchdown, Dixon, of Vandy, returned a punt to the Tech 35. On two pass plays the ball was resting on the Tech '4 with first down and goal to go.

Here the Jackets put up a magnificent goal-line stand to repulse the Commodores and take the ball on the one-yard line. The Jackets were facing a stiff breeze, and rather than take a chance of getting off a short punt, Shorty Roberts elected to make an intentional safety, a clever bit of strategy, as just a couple of minutes remained before the time-keeper would blow his whistle.

Vandy received the free kick from Phillips and returned it to the Tech 43. Two plays resulted in a four-yard gain.

Then came the heart-breaking play for the Jackets. Dixon faded back and shot a long pass down the field. The pass was wild, but Pool, intending to break it up, tipped it, sending it farther down the line into the unexpected hands of Lang Wroton, who managed to travel across the goal untouched. Shortly after, the game ended.

The play of Jack Phillips was again outstanding for the Jackets. His defensive work was well nigh perfect, his passing accurate, his running powerful, and his punting great enough to out average Dixon, one of the best punters in the South. Captain Bob Tharpe and Peewee Williams again turned in superb performances at tackle.

The Tech team was just a victim of hard luck.

A long needed unit has at last been added to the housing facilities of Georgia Tech, that is, a dormitory for upperclassmen, particularly those out of town men who do not belong to a fraternity. Some time ago and at a considerable expense, Julius Brown Hall was completely remodeled and fitted into a modern dormitory for upperclassmen.

On the east side of the downstairs floor several of the rooms have been cut out and a large and comfortable living room has been arranged. The room is equipped with leather furniture, several card tables and an excellent radio. This will add an atmosphere of home to the life of the man who is forced through financial causes to room in a less expensive place than he has heretofore had.

The entire building has been repainted and completely redecorated since last June. The beds have been fixed over and the newly renovated mattresses assure one a comfortable night's sleep. Each room has been provided with extra chairs and reading lamps. Janitor and room service has also been arranged for at no added expense to the student.

This sort of room is particularly desirable for the nonfraternity man since it will make the dormitory itself more of a fraternity lodging than ever before. There will be no inspections or restrictions on the men living in the dormitory.

It has been arranged with the sponsors of this program to have at least one week during the year in which Tech news, pictures of Tech men and the Tech campus will be featured in this rotogravure section. This will enable Georgia Tech to secure publicity that it has never before had the opportunity of having. Tt should prove a valuable means of attracting many people to the college.
