Home Coming Impressive Event Featured by the Home Coming luncheon ceremonies, decorated chapter houses, the Rambhn' Wreck contest; and concluding with the memorable victory of Tech over Alabama, on Saturday, November 14, the 1942 Home Coming was a great success in every way.

The program at the largely attended Home Coming luncheon was most impressive. Mr. R. B. Wilby, President Georgia Tech Alumni Association, presided. He called upon Judge Frank A. Hooper, Jr., to present a Service Banner from the Alumni Association to the College, in tribute to and in honor of the Gold Star alumni and all other Georgia Tech men in the armed forces. Mr. Hooner's able presentation was followed by Dr. M. L. Brittain's very fine acceptance for the school; after which the entire body stood in silence in honor to all alumni who have died, both in the service and in all other walks of life. The Star Spangled Banner was then sung by the assemblage, while standing.

Among the honor guests at the luncheon were members of the Pioneer Classes: of this group, those present were: Messrs. H. L. Smith, 1890, Dalton, Ga., the first person to receive a Georgia Tech diploma; J. D. Goldsmith, 1891, Atlanta; J. B. McCrary, 1891, Atlanta; A. R. Colcord. 1892, Atlanta; A. D. Black, 1892, Washington, D. C, a member of Tech's first football team; and Wm. "Mr. Billy" Van Houten, head of Foundries.

Representative groups from the faculty, alumni, and student bodies, were also present, along with the reunion classes, the alumni in general, and their lovely wives, families, and dates.

Some Early Tech History

Tech Crads Meet in Pacific

According to Lieutenant (j.g.) Edward S. Parks,

By H. D. Cutter, 1892. the Pacific Ocean is literally "full" of former Tech Some time ago I had a conversation with Mr. men.

Dean Spratlin, Lt. Parks relates, is also one of the first graduates of Tech. In this article he a member of a submarine crew of the Pacific fleet.

Having graduated from Tech in June, 1941, Lt. told of what strides George Crawford had made. It reminded me so much of my first days at Tech that Parks immediately entered submarine duty. His last it inspired me to write this brief sketch of my days leave, until the present one, occurred in October, 1941. Since then, Lt. Parks has seen plenty of action. spent there.

One September morn, 1888, found me knocking at "Although you wouldn't call it fighting," he relates, the front door of Tech for admittance. This was the "we would just sneak up on a ship and let 'er first day that Tech was opened to the prospective have it."

As to life on a submarine, Lt. Parks claims that student body of Georgia to have a technical educaa submarine is a good berth to be in, despite the tion, (a most memorable occasion for me).

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Coach Alexander Recovering Rapidly

Admiral Towers Pacific Air Head

Head Coach W. A. Alexander was ordered to his bed for two weeks, at least, by his physicians, following the Tech-Duke game in Durham on October 31. The beloved mentor knows how to obey orders as well as how to give them and, as a grand result, he is now back with his squad assisting with the direction of the " B " team for the assaults of the latter against the varsity, prior to the Florida and Georgia games.

Coach Alexander emphasized that he exercised no remote control of the team in its victorious games against Kentucky and Alabama, and he again plans to leave Assistant Coach Bobby Dodd in full charge of the team through the present scheduled season, in accordance with recent announcements.

Coach Bobby Dodd handled the Yellow Jackets brilliantly against Kentucky and Alabama and is being given the fullest co-operation of Coach Alexander and all the players. "I am confident Dodd can do a good job," Coach Alexander was quoted, "it's his team from now on."

The team has been playing hard "heads-up" football for their great Coaches Alexander and Dodd and for their excellent line coach, Professor Miller of the Georgia Tech faculty, as well as for the entire staff. It has gone through a terrific schedule winning all, to date, in succession from Auburn, Notre Dame, Chattanooga, Davidson, Duke, Kentucky, Alabama and with more victories to come. A brilliant record for the team and the coaches.

Admiral John H. Towers of Rome, Georgia, was appointed Vice Admiral in command of the Pacific Fleet Air Forces, during September. This is belated news, as the announcement was made public while the September-October issue of the ALUMNUS was in the mails; however, the information is most gratifying and it makes good news at any time.

Admiral Towers, an honor student at Georgia Tech in 1901, was appointed to the Naval Academy in 1902 by Congressman Maddox, now deceased, of Rome, Georgia, and the Admiral was graduated from the Academy in 1906.

A world-prominent pioneer flyer, he has had his narrow escapes and he has had serious obstacles to overcome; but he kept everlastingly at his objective and now the world knows, somewhat late, what he and his group of pioneer friends knew and loyally visualized years ago, even before the time that he received his orders in 1911 to report to Glenn H. Curtis at Hammondsport, N. Y., for flight instruction.

Admiral Towers was one of the first three naval officers assigned to aviation duty. The Navy calls him its "Aviator No. 1." He organized and commanded the unit of NC Flying Boats which made the first transatlantic flight in 1919. He commanded the Navy's first aircraft carrierâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and later the Saratoga, and he was Chief of the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics, in Washington, D. C, at the time he was appointed to his present command.

Tech "Rambled" at Convention Governor Elect Ellis Arnall was escorted to the platform for his official nomination to the strains of "Ramblin' Wreck," at the State Democratic Convention in Macon on October 7.

"Glory to Old Georgia" was played while the escorting committee was assembling, and the band went into good old "Ramblin' Wreck" as the Governor Elect and his escorts approached and took their seats. Both songs were received with great applause as certainly they deserved to be, for their respective students and alumni, together with those of the other branches, worked, contributed, and otherwise greatly assisted in the election of Ellis Arnall. This work was gratefully acknowledged from the platform by the Governor-elect.

A large delegation of Tech alumni from all over the state represented Georgia Tech as Arnall delegates ; among those from Atlanta were: C. L. Emerson, Frank A. Hooper, R. J. Thiesen, George T. Marchmont and Frank M. Spratlin.

Co-Op Head Takes War Post Although Georgia Tech will greatly miss Professor J. E. McDaniel, former head of the Co-Operative Department, we shall still have the benefit of his advice.

He left Tech July 1 to take up his new duties as director of manpower training in six Southern states.

He has not cut all connections with Tech, however, as he will still act in an advisory capacity.

Professor McDaniel graduated from Erskine College in 1909; Columbia University in 1914; and the University of Berlin in 1919. He obtained the A.B., A.M., and LL.B. degrees.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Some Early History of Pioneers" about five years ago. When I saw him he was in the best of spirits, and I thought he would have lived 20 years more.

He worked his way up from some position with the Alabama Coal and Iron Co. and was then President of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., at a salary of $50,000.00 per year. He has since died. Both of these men, I understood, were college graduates at the time they entered Tech, but as I stated, diplomas and degrees had no weight with Dr. Hopkins. They must have been well over twenty years of age at entrance. There were about 13 to 15 who took examination for entrance to the Junior class, some of whom I recall were: J. B. McCrary, Jim Moore, Will Glenn, DeGive, Elsas, Pritchet, Jones, and Goldsmith. Each one of these was required to take the preliminary examination for entrance. Those who were candidates for Junior and Middle class had to take a third examination.

As I said before, "Dr. Hopkins was President of Emory at that time and held the chair of Metaphysics at Emory." His nick-names were "Old Hop" and also "Big Ike." I remember how shocked I was to hear a student call a man of the dignity of Dr. Hopkins by any such names, but it was generally current on the campus.

Lyman Hall was Professor of Mathematics and naturally it fell in line with surveying and Civil Engineering. I doubt if there was a better informed mathematician in the country, he being a West Point man. He knew his texts so well that he could tell you the page on which any subject was, in either Geometry, Trig, Analytic, or Differential and Integral Calculus. The only fault I found with Captain Hall was he thought every little country boy should know about as much as he did. Captain Hall was at different times Captain of the Atlanta Rifles and the Gate City Guards. Although Captain Hall was an expert drill master, both of these companies at different times were in competitive drills at several places throughout the country they seemed never able to take first honor over the Southern Cadets of Macon. Captain Hoff Simms was Captain of this noted Company.

Head of the Chemistry Department was Dr. W. H. Emerson, father of Cherry Emerson who was just a chap when I was at Tech, and who later went to Tech and graduated there. Dr. Emerson was an Annapolis man, he was called the "Commodore" and held the Chair of Chemistry. I remember there was a cyanide experiment that he told us had to be just so in doing and he would not allow the boys to perform this experiment, but he was to do it before the class. To our amazement, it blew up when he performed it, but only minor damage was done.

Dr. Charles Lane held the Chair of English; he was a very witty man and had made quite a reputation as a comic lecturer. He nearly always told some joke in class unless his ardor was dampened by the failure of quite a few to drink in the day's lesson. In telling his jokes he naturally forgot what class he had told certain jokes to and often repeated them. The boys made a plot that if he told a certain stale joke we would not crack a smile, when lo and behold, this was the very one he told. The boys all sat there like dummies; naturally,

November-December, 1942

Georgia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;(Cont'd.) he was furious. On another occasion Captain Hall had our class and was so enthused with the subject that he held the class five minutes after the bell rang. We were due then in the English class; before Captain Hall dismissed the class Professor Lane entered the room and told Captain Hall that this was his period and he wanted his class dismissed.

A subject came up in Professor Lane's class at one time in regard to a certain house that was located on West Peachtree. While Architecture was not a part of the English course, it consists of many branches. I had often noticed this house, it was what you might call an architectural monstrosity; but I suppose the young architect who designed it thought at that time it was his masterpiece. Professor Lane said it looked like a cross between a two story chicken house and a windmill.

Professor Shepherd taught Math and Drawing, free hand, as well as mechanical drawing.

Professor Coon, a Cornell man, called "Uncle Si" or "Si Coon," taught Mechanics and Kinematics.

Mr. Higgins from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was superintendent of Shops and was rated as a professor of the faculty. Later Frank Spain was made assistant professor of Math. Professor Coon brought Professor Oviat from Cornell to teach Math and Drawing. In addition to these, we had other men in the shop who were rated as foremen and instructors. Mr. Duncan was foreman of the machine shop, John Toy was instructor, Tom Jones, whom Dr. Hopkins brought from Emory, was foreman of the wood shop. Mr. Jones in addition to being an expert wood worker was a good violinist and made several very fine violins. Grimes was an instructor. Buzzell was foreman of the foundry and Billy Van Houten was instructor.

Billy was afterwards made foreman and I believe he is still with you. The boys, since Billy has grown older in the service, I believe, dub him Uncle Billy.

Horace Thompson was also at Emory and Dr. Hopkins brought him along and put him in charge of the blacksmith shop. No, we did not make horse shoes, nor did we shoe a horse, but we made bolts and more bolts. Later Mr. Higgins sent a young and inexperienced man as superintendent of the shops or as his assistant in his absence. The boys took a dislike to him and a group of students one night assembled on the campus and derided him. I knew nothing of this episode until the next morning and this was also true of the vast majority of the students, but it came near breaking up the school.

During the second year of Tech it was found that so many students applied for admission who were not prepared for the apprentice class, that the faculty decided to establish a sub-apprentice class, and put a redhead in charge, whose name was West and they called him "Pinky."

It was a motley looking lot of boys that entered Tech during those days, some had bright red socks with green ties, a great many had trousers that were like the character in the "Deestrick Skule" had trousers "sorter long and sorter short"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;but most of these were real Georgia boys or Georgia Crackers if you will, and many of them have made fine men and have been a credit to our great state as well as to Tech.

Dr. Pratt Succumbs to Illness Dr. Nathaniel Palmer Pratt, widely known chemical engineer, founder of the N. P. Pratt Laboratory for Analytical and Technical Chemistry and onetime president of Georgia Tech, died Sunday, November 16, at a private hospital.

Dr. Pratt was 84 years old. He lived at 747 East College avenue, Decatur, Ga. He discovered the Pratt process for manufacturing sulfuric acid in 1895, which was widely employed by the United States and British governments in munitions plants during World War I. In recognition of his scientific achievements, the honorary degree of doctor of science was conferred upon him by Oglethorpe University in 1923 and that of LL.D. by the University of Georgia in the same year.

A cloud burst overhead and the Rambling Yellow Jackets raining passes and long runs over the Auburn Tigers was the way Tech opened its football season, on September 26.

Auburn was no match for the Golden Jackets, whose line and backfield speed seemed hampered but little by the soggy turf.

Tech's aerial attack decided the game, with Eddie Prokop flinging unerring tosses to Pat McHugh and Rabbit Jordan for the game-winning tallies. One of the two touchdowns was bucked over by Prokop himself, but the speedy sophomore made it possible with a long pass.

In the second period, Prokop shot a pass to Pat McHugh, who cut back of his man and raced across the goal line. That 20 yards was covered in a great hurry and put Georgia Tech out in front for keeps.

In the third period, Tech moved ahead on a 64yard and 2 foot drive which a desperate Auburn team repulsed on the one yard line. Then when Monk Gafford, a highly reliable kicker, attempted to get the Tigers out of a tight spot, big Jack Helms broke through and blocked the kick, giving Tech a safety and a perfectly safe margin.

There was a half a minute left in the game when Prokop threw another brilliant pass. This time it went to Rabbit Jordan, who stepped out of bounds on the one yard line as he was shoved over the goal by a clutching Auburn tackier. The next play Prokop plunged the final yard for the marker and Helms kicked the extra point.

The opening Southeastern Conference game showed, among other things, that observers had been prone to underrate the power of the Yellow Jacket line.

November-December, 1942

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Tech 13, Notre Dame 6 Georgia Tech's buzzing Yellow Jackets wrote themselves an epic chapter in football history up in South Bend on October 3, by becoming the second Tech team to defeat the fighting Irish of Notre Dame in 13 years of trying. The only other Tech team to do the trick was the national championship team of 1928, which it did, 13 to nothing, on Grant Field.

The underdog before the game, the Yellow Jackets played sparkling offensive ball and backed it up with a rugged and unyielding defense to turn back the Irish. Thirty thousand fans witnessed the affair.

Two breaks helped Tech to its first score, but they earned the second with Puritan honesty. They scored in the third period after going 28 yards following Clint Castleberry's recovery of Jim Mello's fumble on the Notre Dame 28. That was the first break.

The second was the tipping of Prokop's pass into Pat McHugh's hands on the Irish one striper by Miller. This could be considered a break for it is all in the game. Alternate Captain Ralph Plaster dived over for the score and split the cross bars for the extra point.

The second Tech tally came on the fourth play of the final period after Clint Castleberry had set up the chance at the Irish 40 by a brilliant punt return from the Tech 18. It was Castleberry's running southpaw pass to Pat McHugh in the end zone that brought the score, after the Jackets had worked it down to the Irish 8. Plaster and McHugh accounted for 10 and 12 yards respectively in the 28 yard drive.

Notre Dame's touchdown could be credited entirely to the Miller boys, Creighton and Tom. The Irish drove 74 yards to their score, with one of the Miller brothers figuring in every gaining play and Tom Miller going over untouched for the score from the Tech 11.

George "Mutt" Manning, the Jacket iron man center, had to play almost the entire game, due to John Bell's leg injury. His tackling on defense was so superb as to rival the work of the sophomore and freshman backs in the matter of value to the final victory. Manning made two crucial pass interceptions, the last of which stopped a Notre Dame passing drive which had carried the Irish 15 yards to a first down on the Tech 42 and appeared destined to reach the pay zone for a chance at a tie game.

Captain Jack Marshall and Jack Helms also played iron man roles at the Tech flanks. Marshall was replaced by Rabbit Jordan but Helms had no rest.

Jack Jordan and Harvey Hardy at the Tech guards, proved quite as able defensively as their most illustrious predecessors to wear the gold and white at those crucial posts. Their submarining tackles saved Tech from disaster at the feet of the Irish running power.

McHugh and Luck outpunted Notre Dame all afternoon and dazzled the Irish with those famous Tech reverses and fake punt and stature-of-liberty plays, which were two of the running gems of the game.

35

Tech 30, Chattanooga 12 A rest after the Notre Dame game. The Jackets played a slightly uninteresting game against the Chattanooga Moccasins, in Atlanta on October 10, mostly with reserves. The first team was used only one quarter. Clint Castleberry led the uninspired Jackets to an easy 30 to 12 victory over Chattanooga before a crowd of 12,000 at Grant Field.

Tech's first-string line up was in the battle exactly one quarterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the secondâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and it was with considerable ease that the Jackets kept their undefeated and untied record clean. The Moccasins, smartly coached by Scrappy Moore, staged a gallant fight but a losing one. They filled the air with passes, beautifully thrown by George Gourley and Charlie Bill Hamill, and scored twice just to let fans know that they were still in the game.

Tech tallied with a bit of luck in the first quarter; again in the second, and added two more touchdowns and a field goal in the third. The Moccasins battled their way to a marker in the second and another in the final period.

Tech's performance was spotty. The Jackets clicked on one play and missed on the next. They passed effectively to make up for a lot of fumbling on the running plays.

Outside of Castleberry's sparkling performance, the Techsters showed little. But what the freshman did was enough for most of the fans, many of whom were looking at him for the first time.

Tech 33, Davidson 0 Keeping their unmarred record clean, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets easily defeated the Davidson Wildcats before a small crowd at Grant Field on October 17. Eleven thousand fans looked on without surprise and with infrequent moments of excitement.

In the first quarter Pat McHugh went over from the 3, climaxing a 69 yard drive. Ralph Plaster failed to convert.

In the second quarter, Bobby Sheldon sent a 31 yard pass to Jack Marshall for the second touchdown, and Jack Helms place-kicked the extra point.

This left the score 13 to 0 at the half.

The Yellow Jackets came back in the third quarter to score two more touchdowns. After a 64 yard drive, Bobby Dodd went over from the one, and Helms converted. Eddie Prokop did some magnificent broken field running and went 66 yards for another score. Plaster made good the placement.

In the fourth period Castleberry's pass was good to Dave Morris for 17 yards and Dodd smashed to the 9 where Duck Smith, mite wingback, sliced off tackle for the final score. Helms' kick was wide.

After the game, Coach Alexander said, "Tech was lackadaisical and Davidson fought gallantly. I thought Davidson tackled superbly. They tackled hard and quick. They seemed to have everybody up on the scrimmage line, and everybody was doing a good job. Our running game was stopped as a result."

The psychological situation made it a good game for one half.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

November-December, 1942

Tech 21, Navy 0

Tech 47, Kentucky 7

Still going strong, the Georgia Tech Golden Tornado headed East to tear into a strong Navy team and leave them on the tail end of a 21 to nothing defeat, at Annapolis, Md., on October 24.

The victory extended Tech's winning streak to five games, but the contest was not without its tense moments and kept the crowd of twenty thousand on edge to the finish.

The Navy was steaming irresistibly toward the Tech goal in the second quarter when Clint Castleberry intercepted a pass on the Tech 5 and weaved â&#x20AC;˘ his way through the whole Navy team 95 yards to a touchdown. The brilliant run took the pressure off the Jackets at a moment when they seemed to be parting at the seams, and it did the Navy's morale no good at all. From then on, the Engineers were in there checking the Navy like a submarine net.

Eddie Prokop followed up Castleberry's run with an aerial bomb deftly caught by Jimmy Luck from under the outstretched arms of a Navy defender, and Luck covered the remaining 35 yards for Tech's second score. Then in the fourth quarter, Prokop capped a 62 yard assault on the seventh play with another perfect aerial shot that Rabbit Jordan caught on the run and stepped over the final line.

Jack Helms kicked two of the extra points and Ralph Plaster kicked the other one.

The victory was another tribute to the iron men of Tech's line, most of whom played the entire game.

Coach Alexander kept his relays of backs running in and out, but his linemen had to go on and on without relief against a burly blue wall that seemed well supplied with reserves. Now and then Castleberry managed to turn the Navy flanks, but the center of the line cut Tech's plunges down to a minimum. The Engineers had two first quarter chances to score, but the big men in blue and gold manhandled them and twice took the ball on downs inside the twenty.

Outstanding in the Tech line again were Center Mutt Manning and Ends Marshall, Helms and Jordan. Stein's tackling in backing up the line with Manning was murderous. Again the Engineers used trick plays to kick themselves loose when tangled with their goal line.

The Georgia Tech Golden Tornado, gathering full steam, romped and stomped over the Wildcats of Kentucky by a score of 47 to 7 at Grant Field in Atlanta on Nov. 7. Due to the illness of Head Coach W. A. Alexander, Coach Bobby Dodd took over the responsibility of the team, and the Fighting Engineers honored him by dumping seven touchdowns in his lap. The 25,000 spectators might have been watching a tennis match so rapidly did they twist their heads to keep up with the Jackets who operated a shuttle service from goal to goal.

New stars flashed in Grant Feld as the Yellow Jackets won their second Southeastern Conference game and their seventh consecutive victory. Little Davey Eldredge, the Miami Meteor, scored three of the touchdowns, two of them on dazzling runs.

Bobby Dodd, of the West Virginia family, made the Flats safe for his namesake coach with two markers. Al McDonald, the former Marist boy, who usually performs on the "B" team, counted once. Clint Castleberry, oft the leading man, crossed once on a baffling run of 25 yards. Two counters, one by Castleberry, the other by Rabbit Jordan, the acrobatic pass catcher, were nullified by penalties in the second quarter.

Tech's line, led by that peerless guard, Harvey Hardy, cracked the Wildcat line open on offense, and Tech's backfield blockers mowed down the Kentucky ends. Clyde Johnson, Bill Griffin and Clark Wood, fine Kentucky tackles all season, broke through now and then to stop a Tech runner for no gain; but more often Sheldon, Eldredge, Castleberry, Prokop, Dodd, Plaster, and McHugh went weaving through the Kentucky secondary that seemed frozen in their tracks.

Tech 26, Duke 7 The Tech Yellow Jackets held to the long Victory Trail by turning back a puzzled Duke team 26 to 7 on the Blue Devils' battle ground in Durham, North Carolina, on October 31. The Blue Devils led 7 to 0 for the first period of a wild game, before at least 30,000 fans. Duke scored in the first five minutes of the game but after that Tech held the limelight.

Fighting mad after the Duke score, the Engineers rambled on for three touchdowns and one conversion in precisely twelve minutes of playing time in the second period. This put the game on ice with a score of 19 to 7 at the half, in favor of Tech.

As the second period got under way, it seemed that the Blue Devils had irritated the Yellow Jackets. Clint Castleberry, Pat McHugh, Ed Prokop,

Tech 26, Duke 7-(Cont'd.) and Ralph Plaster, with Rabbit Jordan on the receiving end of two passes, simply tore loose and "went to town." Early in the second quarter, Plaster ripped through the center of the line 20 yards for the first Jacket score. On the third play after the kick off, Bobby Sheldon took a Duke punt on the dead run, skirting a widely spread field for a great advance of 65 yards, and was pulled down at the Duke 11 after a long swing down the sideline. The next play Prokop uncorked a looping pass deep in the end zone to Rabbit Jordan for another marker.

Shortly after the next kick-off, Duke fumbled a kick on the fourth down and the ball went over to Tech on the Blue Devils' 15 yard line. On the first play, Ed Prokop shot another pass to Rabbit Jordan for the third score. Ralph Plaster kicked the extra point.

One minute before the game ended, after a series of beautiful plays, Plaster bucked over from the 3, after Captain Jack Marshall had snagged a pass from Prokop to that point. The game ended one minute later. Tech 26, Duke 7.

Tech's defense was varied throughout the game, at times switching into two, four man lines, one back of the other, a curious 4-4-2-1 affair, which worked admirably; also a five man line and, at times, the old six man standby.

November-December, 1942

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Tech 7, Alabama 0

McHugh Intercepts 'Bama Pass

In one of the hardest fought games of the season, the Rambling Yellow Jackets stung a powerful Red Elephant team from Alabama by a score of 7 to 0, on Home Coming Day, in Atlanta, November 14. Thirty-three thousand people at Grant Field saw a classic of slashing, elemental football that left the Rambling Wrecks high in the National ratings with eight straight victories and the Red Elephants with prestige enhanced even in defeat.

Clint Castleberry, the dashing freshman halfback, started a 61 yard drive which fullback Ralph Plaster capped on the sixth play of the game with a touchdown buck to crack the mighty Tide line.

Then center Mutt Manning and guard Harvey Hardy took charge and inspired a defense that took the ball on downs five times from the onrushing Elephants. The two South Georgia stalwarts earned Ail-American consideration for their sixty minutes of jolting, tackling and canny diagnosing of play.

Wherever the hard running Alabama backs struck they found Manning or Hardy in their way. For once, two linemen eclipsed the achievement of any back on the field.

It was no smug Alabama team on the field, however; it was a well prepared, sharply conditioned outfit that blazed away with every gridiron weapon, took all sorts of chances. If the Tech line defense was brilliantly executed, the Alabama pass defense was vastly improved. The Tidesmen were batting down passes or rushing the passer all afternoon and the main of Tech's offense was all but silenced; however, the Jackets theatened to score on three occasions and out-gained their opponents in first downs, running, and passing.

Coach Bobby Dodd acting Head Coach in the absence of Head Coach W. A. Alexander declared, at the finish, that Alabama was the best team Tech had met all season including Notre Dame. Coach Frank Thomas, of Alabama, who had flown here by plane from the bedside of his mother in East Chicago, said that the Engineers were the toughest Tech team he had ever met.

PAT McHUGH leaps high into the air to intercept an Alabama pass. McHugh made 15 yards before he was stopped and effectively broke up a 'Bama goalward march.
