Home Coming and Alumni Smoker Georgia Tech's w a r t i m e home coming will be streamlined, as a matter of necessity; and particularly, too, in compliance with the earnest request of the U. S. Government to postpone formal reunions and other like events where any degree of travel and demands on hotel and dining facilities are involved.

As it is, Tech's 1943 Home Coming will be held over the week-end of the Tech-Georgia football game in Atlanta, on November 27.

A "get together" athletic smoker for local and all other alumni who mav be in Atlanta, at the time, will be held at 8:00 P.M.,'Friday, November 26, in Georgia Tech's large new Auditorium-Gymnasium on Third Street, at the north end of Grant Field. Coach Alexander and Commander George Griffin have kindly offered to put on a real show consisting of some honest-to-goodness boxing among the service trainees at Tech, along with other athletic events; concluding with feature football pictures. All of which will be a man's affair solely with the alumni invited as guests of the Athletic and Alumni Associations. ' Groups from the classes present will meet informally, of course, as no formal reunions are planned until after the war.

The Georgia Tech dining hall has been entirely taken over by the military and naval training departments at the college, and there is no way by which the usual luncheon may be held at noon, just before the home coming game; however, the Alumni Board members thought t h a t the Friday night, November 26, Alumni Athletic Smoker would prove to be a most enjoyable and popular innovation, instead.

mately as good as can be obtained from trust funds.

5. What will the money be used for?

That question cannot be specifically answered now since no one knows what the greatest need may be when peace returns. The character and composition of the Board of Trustees of the Alumni Foundation is such as to command the confidence of the contributors.

6. Can the donor stipulate the use for which his money will be spent?

Yes, any such written limitation will surely be respected by the Board, but it is hoped that it will not generally be. found necessary.

7. What is the goal?

A minimum of $10,000 is needed from each Class.

You yourself will set the amount to be asked from each individual or his company to produce this total of $10,000 or more.

8. Is this donation deductible from income tax?

We quote Frank A. Hooper, Jr., judge of the Superior Court of the Atlanta Circuit and Vice-President of the Ga. Tech Alumni Association, as follows: "From my study of the Charter of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, Inc., and its by-laws, I am confident that all persons making contributions to this Foundation will be entitled to deductions for purposes of income tax, both state and federal."

9. Will this money be used for athletics?

Such is not the purpose of this fund.

There will be a great football game at Georgia Tech's Grant Field on Thanksgiving afternoon, November 25, for the benefit of the Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children, despite the fact that the present Georgia and Tech freshman players are a part of their respective varsities. In fact, the game will again be one of the highlights of the season and, due to the war, there will be every added reason for a continued capacity attendance.

The competitors will be the Georgia Tech Reserves and the Tenth Armored Division from Camp Gordon; they will be evenly matched with each team out to win and determined to put on a real game for their fine young friends and the crowd. There are not sufficient freshmen at either Georgia or Tech to provide the usual classic, but the cause and the game will go on, as announced, and the day will be a most eventful one for the ticket holders, the crippled children, the contestants and all other participants in the worthy undertaking.

Mr. W. C. Wardlaw, Bob Scott, Bob Wilby, F r a n k Spratlin, Tom Law, and other members of the great committee announced that the hospital needs the funds expected from this game more than ever before, and expressed the pride of the committee in the arrangement of two formidable teams to put on "the only big-time football game on Thanksgiving Day in Georgia," with certainly nothing to conflict with the attraction in Atlanta.

Greatly Enlarged Georgia Tech Foreseen Wright Bryan, distinguished associate editor and war correspondent of the Atlanta Journal, wrote an outstanding and distinctly significant article on Georgia Tech in the Journal, just before his departure to London; and, since his comments were, as usual, intensely interesting, most informative and timely, permission was obtained from him for the following publication of the article: "The Ramblin' Wreck song is something of a libel on the college it helped make famous—Georgia Tech.

Far from being "a helluvan engineer," the typical Tech graduate is likely to be an exceptionally competent engineer, a credit to his college, his state, and his profession. Topflight football teams have frequently helped to publicize Tech, but the institution's good name also rests on a solid foundation of educational work.

"In this Machine Age War, Tech men are peculiarly equipped to do their part and more, both in the production and supply phases and in the actual combat where fighting leaders today must have not only courage but technical proficiency and ingenuity of a high order. The presence of more than 3,000 Tech men as officers in the armed forces is visible evidence of the school's great service in this national emergency. At least as-many other Tech men, probably more, are doing vital jobs in civilian sectors.

"Most of the credit for this service should go to a devoted, hard-working, and intelligent faculty which, under the leadership of Dr. M. L. Brittain and his predecessors, has accomplished maximum results with minimum physical equipment and financial resources. And this in a field of education where costly laboratories and machinery are vital aids to proper instruction.

"The loyal Georgia Tech man, like the everyday citizen who realizes this is an age of technology, is concerned that Tech be equipped and supported in

such a manner as will insure its continued leadership after the war.

"Critical as the need for engineers and scientists has been during the war, the demand will be just as broad when peace returns. The fields of electronics, of plastics, of aviation, of postwar construction and industry—all will require and reward technically trained men.

"To supply its quota and maintain its high position, Tech not only must continue the fine work of the past but must be equipped to meet the problems of the future.

"The coming of age of the South as an industrial section will present new challenges and opportunities to the graduates of Tech and of similar colleges in other states. It will demand that they devote more time and money to industrial research, as well as to strictly educational activities. Tech already is doing some praiseworthy research but it is hampered by lack of resources.

"New industries in the South will bring broader fields, too, for the so-called 'co-op' student. The 'coop,' alternating terms of study with terms of actual work in his chosen profession or industry, receives a practical type of training through which he quickly applies his lessons to the problems actually met on the job. Tech has already done good work in this department and should do more.

"Tech is a state institution, but few people realize that the state treasury meets only a small fraction of the school's total costs. The largest proportion is paid by the students themselves in the form of fees.

"Nevertheless the state controls the policies of Georgia Tech, and the school's welfare is vital to the state's growth. It must not be neglected.

"P. S.: The author of this column is a graduate of Clemson College, no mean engineering school itself."

The Creed of A Hero

ALEXANDER

In the "Gold Star" Alumni columns of the MarchApril issue of this publication, there were carried the only too few lines of honor and gratitude on those of our alumni who, at that time, had given their all for the just cause of everything fine and noble in life.

Among those gallant heroes was Lieutenant Guyton Christopher, Georgia Tech 1940, U. S. Army Air Corps, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul J. Christopher of Decatur, Georgia. In the late spring, this young immortal hero, in the early fullness of his life, then in the South Pacific, wrote his mother: "A soldier's life is a good and useful life. I would rather be here than anywhere else in the world,, where history is being made and the destiny of my country is being decided. And if it comes to death, it is the most glorious way to die." Again he wrote from Australia: "At home they used to complain about rising prices, no tires, gas rationing. I've seen little spots in the ocean where men (American boys) have been for months with no movies, no cars to ride in, no girls to date, no magazines or newspapers. These boys know what it is to serve and sacrifice. One tropical island had only one tree. At another it rains cats and dogs nearly every day. Voluntarily or involuntarily these boys are giving up a portion of their lives for their country. It is their duty to do so, but those at home should be willing to work like dogs to see that these boys get what is needed to do the job they must do, or all of this will have been endured in vain.

Unless we all realize the gravity of the situation, we may awaken to find that a pleasant dream has turned into a living nightmare."

Mr. and Mrs. Armand B. Alexander, Jr., of Shelbyville, Tenn., announce the birth of a son, born in the first part of September, 1943. Mr. Alexander graduated from Georgia Tech in 1931 with a B.S. degree in T.E. ANDERSON

A daughter, Carene, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Raymond A. Anderson on May 27, 1943. Mr. Anderson graduated in 1942 from Georgia Tech with a B.S. in G.E. He is now with NACA, Langley Field, Hampton, Va. BLACKWELL

Mr. and Mrs. Ceylon B. Blackwell announce the birth of a son, Ceylon B., Jr., on October 2, 1943. Mr. Blackwell graduated with a B.S. in C.E. from Georgia Tech in 1918. He now resides in Memphis, Tenn.

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Sheer, Jr., of Charlotte, N. C , announce the birth of a son, James Sargent, on October 6, 1943. Mr. Slicer received his B.S. in E.E. from Georgia Tech in 1939.

TURNER-GAY

The marriage of Miss Mary J a n e Turner to Ensign Lewis Benjamin Gay, U.S.N.R., was solemnized on November 10, 1943, at the Little Chapel of the Glenn Memorial Church in Atlanta. Ensign Gay graduated from Georgia Tech in 1940, receiving his B.S. degree in E.E. WILLIAMS-TYLER

The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Juanita Williams to Aviation Cadet John Calhoun Tyler was solem-

Virtually a creed, valiantly stated; and so typically the faith and thoughts of his heroic compatriots who are gloriously "carrying on" for him and with him.

An editorial in the Atlanta Journal, during late April, carried young Christopher's letter and so feelingly expressed what is in the hearts of all, in these closing paragraphs of their tribute to him: "These words, deeply thoughtful from one in the May and morning of life, bid us all to look into our hearts and measure our faith and works by his. He was gently bred, well educated and not of robust physique; more suited, it would seem, for an intellectual career than for the rigors and perils of war. But he longed for heroic action, and by patient self-discipline built up his body to the requirements for enlistment in the United States Army.

"Such was the military career of Lieutenant Guyton Christopher, to whom the Silver Star and the Purple Heart Medal have been posthumously awarded. As one of the immortal thousands of boys who have given 'the last full measure of devotion' that our country may continue free and that our world may be fit for human kind, he has left us a gospel that we should ponder well, now and in the times ahead: 'Those at home should be willing to work to see that these boys get what is needed to do the job that they must do, or all of this will have been endured in vain'."

Weddings and Engagements-Concluded nized September 26, 1943, at the Peachtree Christian Church in Atlanta. Mr. Tyler was in the class of 1944 while at Georgia Tech. He is now stationed in San Antonio, Texas.

Navy 28, Tech 14

Duke 14, Tech 7

A strong Navy eleven led by Hal Hamberg downed the Yellow Jackets by a score of 28 to 14 in a night game in Baltimore Saturday, October 23.

In the first quarter Tech had two good chances to score, but failed both times. Hamberg hooked a very poor punt out of bounds at Navy's 20—the third big chance for Tech, deep in Navy territory.

Prokop was nailed for a 13-yard loss by Whitmire, trying to pass, and then he passed to Gaston for a gain of 10 yards. Prokop slashed off right end to the Navy 18, and then, smothered on an attempt to pass, he cut around right end to the Navy 9 and a first down, a great recovery.

Prokop went in for four yards, and then on a spinner Whitmore and Brown nailed him for a three-yard loss. Prokop faded and slung a touchdown pass to Kilzer in the end zone, a beautiful play down the alley. Prokop kicked the point.

Navy came back early in the second quarter and scored after a long drive of 90 yards. Again in the second quarter Navy scored after Hume intercepted one of Prokop's passes deep in Tech territory. Both extra points were good. In the third quarter the Jackets began to roll once more. On fourth down on the Navy three, Prokop lateraled to Brown and he slipped over for the touchdown. Prokop kicked the extra point, tying the score. Navy came back in the fourth to score twice more, making the final score 28 to 14.

Duke dropped two long-distance forward passes into Georgia Tech's defense Saturday afternoon, October 30, on Grant Field to take top rating among Southern football teams by a score of 14 to 7.

Duke took the lead early in the first auarter after Buddy Luper, Duke's own halfback from Rocky Mount, N. C , had pitched a 50-yard pass to Loyd Blount, a fellow Marine transferred from Mississippi State. Blount was flagged on Tech's 4, but Tom Davis, a home-grown fullback and the Navy's own, bucked it across on the second try. Bob Gantt came in to kick the extra point and moved right out again.

The Blue Devils nursed that lead and fought off every Engineer attack until late in the second quarter, when they were caught down on their 14-yard line and had to punt. Tackle Bill Smith burst through and blocked Davis' kick. The ball flew high and Buster Beall, of Atlanta. Tech guard, beat t h e Blue Devils to it on Duke's 7.

On second down, Eddie Prokop, Tech's big gun, tossed a lateral to Joe E. Brown, Plant City freshman halfback, who raced to goal behind a screen of blockers led by Guard John Steber. Prokop kicked the point to tie the score.

And it looked like a tie game until Choke Carver, a Durham sailor, intercepted a Tech pass early in the fourth. From Tech's 36 on the second play, Spook Murphy, a Marine from Mississippi State, shot a high touchdown pass to Carver, and Gantt kicked goal.
