w> H E N Prof. Rbntgen announced his discovery of the x-ray, in 1895, he intimated

that medical science would not be the only beneficiary. Since then, General Electric

has been a pioneer in the development of the x-ray for industrial as wel l as medical

use. • As a result, a new science—industrial radiography—enables us to peer at the

internal structure of almost any material. Radiography reveals most microscopic defects

in metals — blow holes, shrinks, pinhole porosity, cracks, dross inclusions, etc.—with­

out destruction of the specimen. Even four inches of steel is no obstacle to the modern

radiographer. • "Seeing through steel" has become a reality with the new and more

powerful x-ray tubes developed by General Electric. These tubes, using as much as

400,000 volts, make possible the most powerful x-rays available to industry. Such

developments are largely the accomplishments of college-trained engineers. They are

leading the way to even greater progress in the electrical industry and are helping to

maintain General Electric's leadership in this field.

"Heap on more wood!—the Wind is chill;

But let it whistle as it will

We'll keep our Christmas merry still."

T h e opening lines of Sir Wal ter Scott 's "Chr is tmas In Old T i m e s , " migh t well have been wri t ten for the world of today. T r u e , the wind is chill; bu t clouds are breaking and, fortunately, there is plenty of wood that may be heaped on. W e believe the spirit is there to heap it, too, so:

"We'll keep our Christmas merry still."

With

Every Good Wish to You and All,

for A Season Full of Joy.

Home Coming and Georgia, Nov. 26 As announced in the September-October issue of this pub­

lication, the annual Georgia Tech Home Coming for the alumni, their families, and friends, will be held on Satur­day, November 26, the day of the football game between Tech and Georgia, and a big attendance is assured.

The game with Georgia on Grant Field is enough in itself to attract a throng of alumni and many other visitors; how­ever, there will be plenty of color and wholesome enter­tainment to add to the spirit of the day.

An a la carte home coming luncheon will be served at the Atlanta Athletic Club for the homecomers in one of the club's large dining rooms that has been reserved for the occasion. In other words, the luncheon will be on the " p a y as you g o " plan and you may order what you want. The manager of the club will arrange two dinners, one for a dollar and one for sixty cents; so you will be served promptly, well and reasonably.

The luncheon will start promptly at twelve o'clock noon and the adjournment will be in order at or before one o'clock.

We suggest that you anticipate your requirements at this time, and write or telephone to the alumni office or to the Atlanta Athletic Club for your reservations.

In addition to the general home coming, official reunions are scheduled for the classes of 1892, '97, 1902, '07, '12,

Page 6: Georgia Tech Alumni Magazine Vol. 11, No. 2 1932

'17, '22, '27 and '32. The members of these classes will gather with the others at the luncheon; special tables, how­ever, will be designated with class numerals.

The class of 1912 is planning a big get-together in cele­bration of its twentieth anniversary. Mr. G. M. Phillips and others of the 1917 class also hope to have a large number present, including almost all of the members of the 1917 football team. Mr. Roy G. Merry, 1902, requests all members of his class, also, to communicate with him and to attend the home coming luncheon in a body.

As previously published the secretaries of the reunion classes are: A. R. Coleord '92, Atlanta, Ga.; R. M. Crumley '97, Atlanta, Ga.; Roy G. Merry '02, Atlanta, Ga.; G. M. Stout '07, Atlanta, Ga.; Bob Mell '12, Atlanta, Ga.; John M. Slaton '17, Atlanta, Ga.; A. R. Flowers '22, Atlanta, Ga.; Gilbert H. Boggs, Jr., '27, Atlanta, Ga.; Howard Moffat '32, Meridian, Miss.

Get in touch with your respective secretaries and complete your reunion plans. Come back and join with the home comers in general for all Tech men are invited and are wel­come. Georgia Tech colors will be given to those attending the luncheon and there will be plenty of time in which to reach the game in all comfort after the luncheon.

Attention, Class of 1912

Twenty-Year Reunion Twenty years—if you hadn't stopped to think about it—

is quite a while, and it has now been that long since we were all together last. So I 'm sure we all want to have a big reunion this year. There will also be other class re­unions—see September-October issue of the Alumnus.

The only way we can have a BIG ONE is for every man who can possibly manage it to be here. You still have time in which to make your plans, and you CAN be here if you will really make the effort.

The official program is a get-together dinner Friday eve­ning, November 25th; Home Coming luncheon Saturday noon, and the GEORGIA game Saturday afternoon. And for the first time in four years we have a real chance to beat Georgia. Won' t that alone be worth the tr ip?

Let's all turn out on November 25th and 26th and give Coach " A l e x " and'his gang a big hand at the game. Re­member Coach Alex is a 1912 man.

We '11 all be looking for you. Please let me know as soon as possible that you can come.

Sincerely, H. N. PYE, For the Reunion Committee, 317 Trust Co. of Ga. Bldg.,

Atlanta, Ga.

The Student Point of View I t has been our policy to publish student articles from

time to time in order that you may be informed as to campus activities, in particular, from the students ' point of view, and it is our purpose to continue with this plan for we are sure it is a good one.

To be certain that our alumni will get the right point of view, too, we shall endeavor to see that the articles, as stated, are acknowledged at the time they are printed.

The students ' weekly publication, the Technique, is run­ning a series of articles written by the departmental heads and other members of the faculty and, since we know that a number of these will be of considerable interest to the alumni, we shall also include one or more of such articles in the present and subsequent issues of the Alumnus.

'To Hell With School spirit is undoubtedly a good thing. Educational

institutions are often a failure or a success due to the fact that the spirit is bad or good. Coaches, players, professors, and students, themselves, are continually endeavoring to build up a good school spirit. And their endeavors are not in vain if even a slight increase in enthusiasm is shown for the Alma Mater. I t is a beautiful and heart-stirring sight to see stands full of students jumping around, waving caps, scream­ing and rooting for their team even though it be hopelessly smeared by superior opponents.

There is always the hidden danger, however, that this highly desirable school spirit may find its expresson in ways unbecoming to a good sportsman. Sometimes it culminates in street fights, unavoidable for the most part. Sometimes over-zealous supporters destroy valuable property in their uncontrolled frenzy. Very often an ardent supporter thinks to glorify his own team by screaming for his opponents to visit the kingdom of the wicked.

And now we are to the point. While the cheering is ex­cellent at the games, several incidents have occurred " u n ­becoming to a good sportsman." The few bad points were not serious in any case. They were made up of remarks such as are heard at all football contests the country over. Before, after, and during the game the foolish battle-cry, " T o Hell With ! " sounds out above the general din. Whether or not the offenders were students cannot be as­certained. Perhaps "o f fenders" is too strong a word to use for the unthinking ones.

If a person before uttering such a cry would only think for a moment he would see the futility of his remark. Sup­pose he is all set for two hours thrilling entertainment in the stands, viewing the game. As the crowd grows, his spirits soar. When the teams appear on the field, he can stand it no longer and so with a mighty Tarzan whoop, he yells, " T o Hell with So and So . " (So and So being the opponents.) Now let us presume that his wish, or command, is granted, and that the worthy opponents depart for the lower regions. There will be only one team left, and, hence, no game. Surely this was not the desire of the careless fan.

Feature, if you can, that old sportsman, Sir Thomas Lip-ton, leaning over the side of his racing boat in the heat of the contest and yelling to Vanderbilt, " T o hell with y o u ! " Such things are not done by good sports. They realize the uselessness of them. Then, too, such expressions do not help build up a feeling of good will between two colleges to any great extent.—(Technique Editorial).

O . B. Keeler Compliments Tech Staffs The staffs of the Yellow Jacket and the Blue Print join

with the Technique staff and the Georgia Tech Alumnus, and all other Tech gentlemen of the press in acknowledging a most generous compliment given by one of the best known sports writers in the country, Mr. 0. B. Keeler. As a col­umnist and as a man, Mr. Keeler has always shown himself a friend to Tech, and with the school's other newspaper friends, he has publicly come out with white and gold colors flying when Tech needed a friend. Below is the article clipped from Mr. Keeler's column:

"YOU CAN'T PLEASE everybody. Nobody can—or at any rate nobody ever has. Especially alumni and editors of college and university publications. I honestly consider that the Tech publications are the most temperate and best-balanced of any I have seen—possibly because the study of engineering tends to keep its students from flying the coop and taking extended journeys into the circumambient atmosphere. But I suppose every athletic department of every college or university comes in for a bit of panning, now and again."

Dr. M. L. Brittain and Dr. McNeill Poteat, Jr.

Dr. McNeill Poteat, Jr., pastor of the Pullen Memorial Baptist Church of Raleigh, N. C, and recognized as one of the outstanding college speakers in the South, was secured by the Tech Y. M. C. A. to conduct a series of lectures in connection with Religious Emphasis Week which was held on the campus during the week that began on October 16th.

On Tuesday morning, October 18th, Reverend Poteat spoke to the entire student body. The military unit marched in formation to Grant Field to hear his address. Reverend Poteat addressed the students in the school chapel in the mornings and in the auditorium of the " Y " in the evenings, throughout the week. During his stay here he was the guest at several fraternity houses on the campus, and many de-delightful luncheons were given in his honor.

Dr. Poteat 's complete speaking schedule for Religious Em­phasis Week at Tech was as follows:

Monday—7:00 P. M., Freshman " Y " Club, " Y " Chapel. 7:45 P. M., Evening School of Commerce, Walton Street.

Tech Retains Lead in Naval Gunnery The Georgia Tech Naval R. O. T. C. Unit again repeated

its previous triumphs in naval gunnery during the past sum­mer. Tech excelled by a comfortable margin in target prac­tice, with University of Washington, Harvard University, University of California, Northwestern University, and Yale University following in the order named.

The Tech Naval Unit has recently received a letter of com­mendation from the Navy Department for its excellent per­formance during the summer cruise.

Miss Martha Berry Resigns From Regents; Hon. E. S. Ault Appointed

Miss Martha Berry, world-famous educator, resigned re­cently from the Georgia State Board of Regents and the honorable E. S. Ault has been named by Governor Russell to take her place.

The reason given by Miss Berry for tendering her resigna­tion was that her school needed her entire attention. Gov­ernor Russell expressed sincere regrets when Georgia's most distinguished woman resigned.

Miss Berry was one of the original appointees to the Board of Regents, consisting of twelve members, and replacing the old system of 250 trustees. This board was appointed in 1931 by Governor Russell, after an act of legislature creat­ing such a board.

I t is only natural that Miss Berry should give her whole attention to the school that has been her life work. She has been acclaimed all over the United States as the one person who has done more for the mountain people of the South, and to bring down the percentage of illiteracy than any other person. Miss Berry was voted one of America's Twelve Greatest Women, and has been given degrees from various institutions throughout the United States.

Honorable E. S. Ault who succeeds Miss Berry, was born at Dalton, Ga. He was admitted to the bar in 1898, after study­ing law in the office of Judge Price Edwards, at Buchanan, and was a member of the state legislature from 1908 to 1912 during which time he was chairman of the special judiciary committee of the house. At present, he is city attorney of Cedartown, Ga., and is chairman of the Cedartown Board of Education.

Dean Noel to Lead Extension Work One hunded and fifty-six courses in twenty-four depart­

ments of the Georgia School of Technology and the Univer­sity of Georgia are being offered to residents of Atlanta and vicinity through the division of general extension of the University system of Georgia, in accordance with a re­cent announcement. V :

Dean Thomas W. Noel, head of the Commerce Department of Georgia Tech, has been elected chairman of the Tech division of the extension work. Professor George M. Sparks, formerly of Tech School of Commerce and now head of the Tech Evening School of Commerce, and Professor R. E. Shepard of the History Department will be associated with Dean Noel in this work.

The system offers to the public a rare opportunity of taking work under the best of instructors, and while it is:

expected to be of interest mostly to teachers, it is open to everyone. Full credit will be given at any college for the extension work.

Courses are to be offered in architecture, biology, civil engineering, commerce, electrical engineering, English, his­tory, economics, geology, industrial engineering, mathematics, mechanical engineering, modern languages, physics, educa­tion, forestry, home economics, child development, horti­culture, philosophy, political science, and sociology.

Enrollment Only Slightly Decreased Official figures from the office of the Registrar show

that 2,647 students are now enrolled at Georgia Tech, and the Tech Evening School. In the day school which includes co-operative and graduate students, 2,015 men have been enrolled. The Night School has 286 names listed, and the-Evening School of Commerce claims 446. These figures, show that the total enrollment will more than likely approxi­mate that of last year.

Chemistry Department Leads in Research Captain Zogbaum Speaks on Navy Day By DR. GILBERT H. BOGGS, Head of the Chemistry Department

I take the opportunity afforded by the first space assigned to the Department of Chemistry to bring to the attention of interested readers a matter the importance of which, in my opinion, outranks any general news items about the re­cent progress of Chemistry. This I believe because it has to do with the school as a whole both at home and abroad.

By research we mean the systematic investigation of any of the infinite number of unsolved problems the answering of which will add to the sum total of our knowledge of na­tural phenomena, whether belonging to the animate or in­animate world.

In the assigning to these few paragraphs the rather am­bitious title they bear, I do not mean to leave the impression that we have had no research work carried out in the past. On the contrary, during the many years I have been at Tech, various departments have turned out creditable investiga­tions. The idea I wish to emphasize is that we are approach­ing a point, if we have not actually arrived there, where re­search, in place of being a more or less departmental and optional activity is to be an officially recognized institu­tional activity. We hope it will be expected of every depart­ment before many more generations of students have come and gone.

Since any additional burden of this kind will cost time and money, and we are already pretty busy with our ordi­nary responsibilities, what is the justification for adding to them? Certainly the advantages to Tech should be clearly demonstrable before approval is given. I am pleased to say that those of us who are interested in this expansion feel encouraged to believe that the administrative authorities are with us and will co-operate as far as resources will permit.

What is there in this research business which leads the higher educational institutions to feel that so soon as they have become old enough and large enough to be called " a d u l t s " they should assume these additional burdens? We think the answer is that the gain is two-fold—internal and external activities and relationships are improved. Within, because the departments in which research is in progress are led to keep up with the progress of their specialties more thoroughly, thus improving the quality of teaching; also, institutions having reputations for successful research attract to themselves the best personnel for teachers and graduate students. It adds a sort of academic " o z o n e " which is stimulating for teachers and students alike.

We gain in our scientific rating among colleges, also. An institution inactive in these matters will soon find itself rated as an unknown quantity among which are active con­tributors to the advancement of the frontiers of knowledge. Examination of the scientific magazines and programs for scientific meetings will demonstrate that a large portion of the advances in theoretical and applied science are the result of research carried on by college teachers and their graduate students. Each is expected to do its bit as a part of the educational program of a live institution.

Having gained the approval of research as a part of Tech's development program, we might call attention to what the Chemistry Department is doing to forward it. I t seems that the foundations of the plan are most secure when made a part of a Graduate School. Postgraduate stu­dents are required to dofresearch-'as a diploma prerequisite. For several years this department has been conducting graduate courses for students majoring in Chemistry with a view to winning the Master's degree. Our Graduate Student As­sistants are paid for half-time teaching and the remaining

Captain Kufus F. Zogbaum, U. S. N., Commandant, Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla., was the principal speaker on Thursday, October 27th, as the members of the Georgia Tech Naval R. 0. T. C. unit assembled in the school chapel to take part in the exercises that marked Navy Day through­out the United States.

Pictures of two of the annual summer cruises that were taken by members of the unit on their cruise to Halifax, N. S., and New London, Conn., respectively, were shown, after which Captain London, Ik S. N., Commandant of the Georgia Tech unit, introduced Captain Zogbaum.

Captain Zogbaum's talk concerned the various phases of Naval Aviation, and gave the audience really something worihwhile along these lines. He remarked that a naval pilot must not only know how to fly over water, but over land also, as these two types of flying demand that the pilot know precision in landing either on wa,er or land. He further stated that the naval aviator should know radio expertly, and must also know navigation, for flying over water out of sight of land this is essential if one is to as­certain his position and course to follow. It is interesting to know that the U. S. Navy operates more planes than either the British or the French.

Many people who have never been to the Pensacola Naval Air Station can hardly realize the extent of such a station. I t is the largest in the United States for training naval aviators, requiring 2,000 people to sustain it, of which 900 are mechanics that keep the 200 planes there in repair. Every day 100 planes are in the air.

Captain Zogbaum closed his interesting talk by compli­menting the Georgia Tech unit, both officers and students, on the splendid progress that the unit was making toward the training of its members to become future officers of the navy.—(Technique).

Additions to Memorial Window

Beautify Dining Hall Tech's Gothic Dining Hall was further beautified during

the summer months by the addition of nine new panels donated by the Classes of 1930 and 1929 to the memorial window. This memorial was designed by Julian H. Harris, '28, in a competition at the time that the dining hall was designed. Through the efforts of Dr. Brittain and Professor Bush-Brown the money which had been raised by the senior classes of 1927, 1928, 1929, and of 1930, was donated to complete the plans of Harr is ' design. The cost of the win­dow, to date, has been $3,300, all of which has been covered by the donations from the four senior classes.

The window was constructed by the R. H. Lamb Studios, New York, and all the material was furnished by them. There are three kinds of windows, those representing technological achievements, those representing branches of learning, and those representing the school life. The upper portion of the three original panels represents the technological achieve­ments of the past, present, and future. Above the central figure of the lower seven panels is symbolized the three main branches of engineering. The upper positions are to symbolize the extra-curricula activities of the school. The panels which represent the branches of learning are Textile, Commerce, Architecture, Engineering, Chemistry, Ceramics, and Aeronautics. The panels are all made of brilliantly colored stained glass, some of which was imported from England.

Hard Breaks Pursue Jackets Pursued by a seemingly relentless streak of hard luck and

touch breaks, a smart, aggressive Golden Tornado has blown its way through six games of its difficult schedule to win three and lose four. The victories over Clemson and North Carolina were decisive while the defeats were of a one or two touchdown margin. Vanderbilt winning by two touch­downs, and Kentucky, Auburn and Tulane by one touchdown each.

Coach Alexander and his staff have placed a machine on the field that has drive, power, speed, and deception on offense. The defense has been almost impenetrable, except for an occasional lapse. Led by Captain Neblett the Jackets have played a consistently good brand of football. The play has been marred by a few costly fumbles, bad punts at crucial points and questionable decisions of officials.

Short punts from the Jacket goal line have been indirectly responsible for touchdowns in the Clemson, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tulane games. In the Kentucky fray a re­ported forward-forward pass, resulting in the winning touch­down, was ruled an ungrounded fumble, thus making the play legitimate. In the Vandy game a pass by Vandy was batted down by McArthur of Tech into the end zone, which should have given the Jackets the ball on their 20-yard line. Instead the pass was termed incomplete, and, on the next play, Vandy passed for a touchdown.

After holding the strong Auburn team for well over three quarters a pass broken up by Poole of Tech was snatched cleanly and fairly just off the ground by an Auburn player on the Jackets ' 8-yard marker. The next play resulted in the only score of the game. With a couple of minutes of play remaining in the Tulane game, Zimmerman plowed through the Tech line to the goal, where he was tackled sharply. The shock caused him to fumble, the ball bound­ing over the goal where it was covered by a Tech player. The officials ruled that Zimmerman had crossed the line before he fumbled, thus giving Tulane a winning touchdown.

These incidents are related, not as an alibi for the Jackets, but as an explanation of the unfortunate circumstances that the Tech team has had to face so far during the season.

Team Opens With 32-14 W i n Showing some of the prowess of former years, the Gold­

en Tornado opened its 1932 season with a 32-14 victory over Clemson College on Saturday, October 1st, at Grant Field. The Carolinians, however, put on a last minute aerial rally which caused the Tech coaches to rush in their first string men who had previously been withdrawn from the game.

The game started slowly with an uneventful first quarter. The Jackets had the ball on Clemson's 36 yard line at the opening of the second quarter; at this point, the backs be­gan to function more smoothly and with the line opening holes for them, the team drove down to the goal line where Ben Cherry bucked over for the first touchdown.

The second touchdown came just before the end of the half from a sustained drive of sixty yards, climaxed when Williams took a long pass from McArthur and was forced out of bounds on the one-yard line. McArthur bucked the line for the score.

After an exchange of punts Tech started another touch­down march from its own 47-yard line, with Hart throwing a 17-yard pass to Williams, who caught it on Clemson's 22-yard marker, and outdistanced his pursuers in a race to the goal.

In the last period Henry Woodward, Tiger back, threw

the Clemson cadet body and the 15,000 spectators into roars and cheers as he took a short pass from Miller and raced 80 yards for a touchdown. Continuing to rally, Clemson took the kiekoff, rushed to the 45-yard line in two plays and reached Tech's 33-yard line after a pass from Miller to Patterson.

Then the Tigers uncorked the most spectacular play of the game, a triple pass from Miller to Craig to Woodward, who again shook off Tech's secondary and scored. Captain Bob Miller made both points after the touchdowns with dropkieks. At this period of the game Coach Bill Alexander rushed his regulars back into the line-up.

I t took just seven plays for the Jacket regulars to smash their way to their fifth and last touchdown. Barron scored on a 13-yard run, after taking a pass from Gooding.

Tech 6, Kentucky 12 Displaying a decided superiority in all departments of the

game except kicking, but beset by tough breaks, a fighting Tech team outplayed a much heavier Kentucky eleven only to lose 12-6 on October 8. The light Jacket team, underdogs for the occasion, pierced the big blue line for 12 earned first downs and 272 yards from scrimmage, while it held the Wildcats to 4 first downs and 98 yards from snap.

Shortly after the play began the Jackets practically do­nated a touchdown to the Wildcats. Kercheval, a splendid back, punted to Tech's 3-yard line where the ball was grounded. Ferguson's punt from behind the goal sliced out of bounds at the 11-yard marker from where Kercheval rounded end to score. This was a tough break for Tech.

In the third quarter the Jackets made a beautiful march of 70 yards to cross the goal. The march was featured by the scintillant dashes of Barron and Galloway off tackle and around end and the terrific line bucking of Cherry. Cherry finally smashed over for the touchdown.

Then followed several bad breaks for the Jackets and the disputed decision. After a poor kiekoff the Jackets were penalized half the distance to the goal which placed the pigskin on the Tech 34-yard line. From there Kercheval passed to Kreuter, an end, who, when tackled, either fumbled or passed forward to Bach, an ineligible receiver, who scampered in a clear field to cross the goal. The officials ruled it a fumble. It was reported that Kreuter said the play was a forward-lateral. However, the score goes down on record as Kentucky 12, Tech 6.

Tech 43 , North Carolina 14 The Tech eleven reached a peak of power on October 22nd,

in a 43 to 14 rout of a fighting North Carolina team at Chapel Hill. The Jackets completely outclassed the Tar­heels, showing a marked superiority in all departments of play. This decisive victory was ample revenge for the dead­locks of 6-6 in 1930 and 19-19 in 1931.

The versatility of the Jacket play is noted by the peculiar fact that the seven touchdowns were scored by different players. In the second quarter Halfback Wink Davis be­gan the touchdown parade by breezing around left end for 68 yards and a score. Shortly after Pat Barron running from the same semi-punt formation as the first touchdown play added another six points. The next marker came in the same period with Roy McArthur passing 22 yards to Jap Hart who ran the remaining distance to cross the goal. In the third quarter McArthur again passed the pigskin, this time 15 yards to Viereek, who galloped 36 more yards to score. Ben Cherry bucked six yards for another touch­down later in this period. Wilbur Peterson intercepted a pass and sprinted 85 yards for the next score. Charlie

Captain Neblett Again Leads Team

Howard " M o n k " Neblett, veteran center and one of the most popular players to wear the White and Gold, was re­cently re-elected captain of the Golden Tornado. This is the second time that a Tech man has been so honored by fellow players. In 1924 Doug Wycoff, one of the greatest Tech fullbacks, was elected to this position and re-elected the following year. Coincident with this is the fact that both boys are from Little Rock, Arkansas. Roy McArthur, quarterback, was elected to serve as alternate-captain of the 1932 edition of the Yellow Jackets.

Galloway dashed 41 yards around end for the final Tech score.

The Tarheel touchdowns came in the second and last periods, one by a short buck and the other via the air.

The Jacket blocking was exceptionally good making it possible for the fast backs to. get clear. The plays by which Davis and Barron scored were executed to perfection with each man ably performing his assignment.

Coach Alex used the two-team system which certainly seemed to deliver the goods. The second team drew first blood, setting off the spark for the scoring spree.

Tech 0, Auburn 6 A last minute passing attack instituted by a substitute

halfback paved the way for his own touchdown which gave Auburn a 6-0 victory over Georgia Tech at Grant Field, October 15.

The entire game was played in a steady downpour before 10,000 spectators. Both teams punting frequently and de­

pending mostly on passes to make gains. The driving rain,, and the muddy condition of the field caused frequent fumbles and slowed up the speed of both teams. Neither team was able to show its full strength.

The entire first half turned into a punting duel between Roy McArthur, field general for the Jackets, and Captain-Jimmy Hitchcock of the Auburn Tigers. The last half turned from a punting duel to counter aerial attacks, centering mostly in the last, quarter. Auburn was able to complete-three out of nine, and Tech two out of seven.

Tech played a greatly improved game" on defense, even though they were outgained from scrimmage 129 yards to-73. Tech earned two first downs to five for the Plainsmen.

Early in the first quarter Hart fumbled the ball in an attempted line plunge, and Grant recovered for Auburn on the Jacket 's 15-yard line. For a moment it looked as if Auburn might score, but, on the first play, Hart recovered an Auburn fumble.

The third quarter was a hard fought punting duel, with Tech being slowly driven back by each exchange of punts. In spite of this, however, they outgained Auburn in this quarter, earning 39 yards from scrimmage to none for Auburn.

Firpo Phipps of Auburn went in late in the fourth quarter for Rogers at right half. He completed two passes, one to-Talley for a first down. A few minutes later he was again successful in passing to Grant for 15 yards, who skidded around left end on the next play for 9 yards and the win­ning touchdown. The pass to Grant was batted awry by Poole but the receiver happened to get his fingers on the ball as a result of Tech's correctly executed but unlucky-play.

Tech 0, Vanderbilt 12 Led by the scintillating Dixie Roberts and his cohorts of

line-ripping backs, the Vanderbilt Commodores flashed an early offensive drive to defeat the Yellow Jackets 12-0-in Dudley Stadium, Nashville, before a home-coming crowd* of 25,000.

Both Commodore touchdowns came in the first quarter,, the first when Dixie Roberts passed 26 yards over the goal to Surheinrieh, the second when Roberts broke off his own left tackle for twenty-nine yards.

After the first quarter Tech's defense tightened and suc­ceeded in keeping the Commodore backfield under fair con­trol for the remaining three periods.

Only once did Tech threaten. This came early in the third quarter when the Jackets drove to the Vandy 31-yard line. Viereck received the kickoff to open the second half, and returned the ball to midfield. A series of line plays took the ball to the Vandy 31-yard line. From here a pass was-intercepted on the Vandy 6-yard line, and the only chance Tech had to score was over.

The bright spot of the game from a Tech standpoint was the outstanding play of the Tech ends. They gave the most, remarkable exhibition of end play that has been seen on a Southern Conference field in several years.

In the first period, Vandy had one outstanding chance to-score, but failed. They drove by sheer power to the 1-foot line, but there the Jackets hurled them back only to watch the driving Roberts tear back to flip the scoring pass to-Surheinrieh.

The game was staged with all the atmosphere of a carnival. A ten band parade preceded the game. Between the halves another parade, a chariot race, a wild rabbit chase, and other features added to the glamour of the occasion.

Tech 14, Tulane 20 With a few minutes left to play and Tulane apparently

defeated by a score of 14-13, the latter launched a des­perate attack to win out over Tech by another one of those one touchdown margins. To make matters worse, the win­ning touchdown was fumbled by Zimmerman when he was hit by the Tech tacklers; the ball went a few yards over the goal line and Wink Davis recovered for Tech. The of­ficials ruled that Zimmerman was over before he fumbled, "0, old lady Nemesis allowed no shouts of victory on Grant Field on Saturday, November 5th.

Tech's starting line-up was weakened somewhat due to injuries, and Tulane got off to a 13 point lead in the first quarter. Ben Cherry, Eddie Laws and Wilcox, the battered waxriors, were rushed from the bench, at this juncture, a.nd the game began to take on a Georgia Tech atmosphere.

Short punts, placed the Jackets at a disadvantage in the last quarter; this caused the Greenies to get into Tech's territory but Tulane's bids for victory were ably repulsed until a short kick to about Tulane's 35 yard line, and a submarine pass to Roberts from Zimmerman took the ball to Tech's nine yard mark. The latter failed to gain on the next play but on the second play thereafter, he cut out to Tech's left side and was tackled on Tech's 3-yard line. Zimmerman's momentum probably took him over the goal, but he ended in the playing field; the ball, however, kept going and Davis, of Tech recovered. The officials ruled it a touchdown. The Greenies converted the extra point and the game ended shortly thereafter with Tech holding the ball, after Tulane had punted to Pat Barron who was run out of bounds on the ten yard line.

Don Zimmerman, the "Flying Dutchman," was practically all of Tulane's offense; yet, he was plenty. He scored the three Tulane touchdowns; the first, on an 8-yard run after taking a lateral pass; the second, on a beautiful side-stepping sprint of 35 yards in which he was aided by team-work and effective blocking, and the third, and final score, as pre­viously stated. Lodrigues, at center, was outstanding in Tulane's defense.

Pat Barron, the last of three brothers, was the greatest offensive star of the day. Pat entered the game after Tulane had its 13 point lead. Jap Hart had just intercepted Zimmerman's pass on the first play of the second quarter and on the next play, the ball was given to Pat who broke through the line, cut to the left, and side-stepped Zimmer­man at the safety position. His stride was broken and he was caught from behind, but not until he had placed the ball in a scoring position after gaining 53 yards. Shortly, thereafter, he received a pass from McArthur over the goal line and Wilcox kicked the extra point.

In the third quarter, Pat took a well executed lateral from Sid Williams who received it as a forward from Mc­Arthur. The ball came to Barron on Tulane's 44, and he was off to glory. The Flying Dutchman again appeared in his path but Chick Galloway took the latter out with a well-timed block and Pat crossed the line for the tying score. Wilcox again kicked the extra point, and Tech was in the lead from then on until the last few minutes of the game, when misfortune overtook the Jackets on Zimmer­man's short run.

Neblett, at center, played his usual great game for Tech. Eddie Laws and Wilcox, the guards, and Williams and Tharpe, at tackle, were unexcelled in the line.

Jackets Upset Alabama 6-0 Eleven reserve Jackets, full of sand and grit, became a dam

of such magnitude on November 12th that the surges of a mighty Crimson Tide were not only rolled back, but were rent asunder and subdued by a golden bolt that flashed victoriously from the site of the dam, clear through the troubled tide.

Please pardon the "befuddled" metaphor—whatever that is— but that's our idea of the game which Tech won from Ala­bama on Grant Field, on a cold, blustery, day by a score of 6-0.

Coach Alexander opened the game with his shock squad, composed of Slocum and Vierick at ends; Cain and Brady, tackles; Lacey and Casey Jones, guards; John Poole, center; Galloway and Peterson, halves; Wink Davis, full; and Dean, quarterback, and a real punter. This team stayed in for fifty minutes and acquitted itself as nobly as it did against North Carolina.

Alabama won the toss and elected to defend the north goal with a strong wind to its back. The first kick-off went out of bounds; on the next one, Peterson received on Tech's 5 yard line and returned to the 25. Alabama took time out for a temporary casualty. When play was resumed, Wink Davis went around end for two yards, but fumbled on the next play and Alabama recovered on Tech's 23 yard line.

Fresh, and within the shadow of Tech's goal, Alabama bucked for two and three yard gains to a first down, but the going was slow for the Red Elephants, and they were turned back on the Jacket's eight yard line after a pass fell incom­plete.

Dean punted 35 yards against the wind, then Alabama started its slow advance again, with Cain, of All American fame, in for a bold bid, but the Red Elephants were not going far fast and, after drawing a clipping penalty, Cain punted over Tech's goal.

With the first signal, Davis went around right end for five yards. Then the perfect play got under way. Chick Galloway received the ball on his 25 and feinted to Peterson who led him. Galloway then circled left end, eluded two tacklers, cut back to five interferers who had formed for him, and followed them to about mid-field when Cain loomed up to sift through, where­upon Chick reversed to the left again where he was picked up by Cain of Tech, although he was all but away, and no one put a hand on him as he finished his 75 yard race to a touch­down and a victory, as it later developed.

During the remainder of the game, Alabama slowly surged to within ten yards of Tech's goal on two or more occasions only to be repulsed. The Tide did most of its gaining outside of the 20 yard lines, but their plodding was successfully stopped whenever they got that far into Tech territory. Ala­bama opened up with everything it had but the Jackets denied their best bids.

Tech did not resort to the air at all nor toss one lateral; it held tenaciously to six points and victory, however, and let the scouts fill their records with Alabama plays, practically alone.

G. A. Harbour, B.S. in T.E., '04, is now located at Tom Pi t t s ' old corner, in Atlanta, at Five Points, in the tobacco and cigar business.

Freshmen Undefeated While their varsity brothers have found rather tough go­

ing on the gridiron, Coach Mack Tharpe's frosh have chalked up two wins and a tie to remain undefeated to date.

The Baby Jackets opened the season with a 7-0 victory over the Douglas eleven, following up with a 33-0 slaughter of Coach Red Barron's Monroe Aggies. In the third game the frosh fought a strong Junior Tiger team from Auburn to a scoreless deadlock. In this fray the Jackets, led by the spectacular playing of Pug Boyd, played superior foot­ball but were unable to push over a touchdown.

The defensive strength of the freshmen is shown by the inability of the opponents to cross the goal line. One more

game remains to be played, that with the Georgia Bullpups on Thanksgiving Day.

Pug Boyd, Billy Street, John McKinley, the Wilcox twins, Lefty Eubanks, Hoot Gibson, and Elwood Barbre have shown up well so far this season.

Burlesque Pageant Features Tulane Game

A giant burlesque political pageant was presented at Grant Field between the halves of the Tech-Tulane game. The pageant was sponsored by the Georgia Tech faculty under the supervision of Professor Count Gibson of the Geology Department, assisted by Professor Fred B. Wenn of the Commerce Department in conjunction with the Yellow Jacket club.

The burlesque show, coming as it did on the eve of the national presidential election, proved to be of great in­terest, to the spectators.

The general layout of the characters included the four major political parties represented by eight men each. There was a donkey for the Democrats, an elephant for the Repub­licans, a camel for the Prohibitionists, and a monkey as a mascot for the Socialist party.

In addition to several entertaining take-offs on the antics of national politics, the event was featured by a fifty-yard race between the animals. A test applause vote of the crowd was given as Uncle Sam held a cane over the different parties.

General approval was expressed by all present over the pageant, and it is expected that something of this nature will be staged at all future games.

Blue Print Again Wins Honors The staff of the Blue Print was recently informed that

last year's publication again won an AU-American rating. This award is made every year by the National Scholastic Press Association, and is given to all student publications in this class which make the required number of points.

The publication which receives the highest number of points is awarded a cup. This cup has been won by the Blue Print for the past two years and if won again it will be the permanent possession of Georgia Tech.
