Class secretaries with their respective addresses are shown under "Nominations for Officers," in this issue. The list will be published again with any changes and correc-tions, in the September Number; however, reunion plans should be well under way before September.

Alumni Represent Georgia Tech Messrs. A. L. Clifton, Textile Engr., 1929, and R. W.

Ageton, Gen. Engr., 1942 were the representatives of Georgia Tech, respectively, at the presidential inaugura-tions at Baylor University, Waco, Texas, April 13, 1948; and at the University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, May 5, 1948.

of seniors, together with an invitation to visit the campus to talk to the boys.

The alumni placements system consists of the Office of Dean of Students sending out a weekly list of jobs open to the alumni desiring to change jobs. The placement ser-vice for the alumni desiring to change jobs has also been very active for the past two years. At the present time, there are about 300 alumni active in the placement system. In the last 12 months, it is estimated that about 550 alumni have been assisted in either changing jobs or securing em-ployment after their discharge from the military services. There is no charge for the placement service to the seniors nor alumni, and any alumnus of Georgia Tech desiring this service need only write to Dean Fred W. Ajax, Associate Dean of Students, Georgia Tech.

This occasioned the first gathering of this group since the war, and a fine turn-out of some 17 faithful and enthusiastic alumni resulted. Ray Kytle, '36, was instrumental in getting this group to-gether, and a good time was had by all.

Howard Ector, '40, Executive Secretary of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, and Harry Baker, '34, President of the Georgia Tech Research Institute, represented the School at this meeting, and both gave short talks on some of the things that are going on at Tech, stressing the De-velopment Plan, and the growth of Research and Research facilities at Georgia Tech.

another meeting about the middle of September, with Ray Kytle elected to call this meeting and to try to increase the number attending.

The meeting was concluded with the showing of the official football picture of Tech's 20-14 victory over Kansas in the 1948 Orange Bowl. Howard Ector narrated the action, and the close game and many thrilling actions brought favorable comment from the followers of the White and Gold.

A discussion was held concerning organization of a Tech Club. It was decided that a Club would definitely be formed; however, those present wanted to see if Winston Salem and High Point didn't want to form a tri-city Club, therefore it was decided that election of officers would be held at the next meeting at which Winston Salem and High Point would have good representation.

Those Alumni who have not been contacted are urged to get in touch with Mr. M. S. Hill, National Theatre Bldg., Greensboro, N. C. Mr. Hill will arrange the next meeting.

NASHVILLE On the night of March 8th, a group of some 40 odd

Georgia Tech Alumni, visitors and friends gathered at a private dining room of the Noel Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. for the largest and most successful meeting to date of the Nashville Georgia Tech Club. After a short social hour, the meeting got under way with President Henry Ligon, '28, presiding, and Terrell Hall, '41, as "tax collector" on the door. After a very delightful meal done in the best Noel tradition, President Ligon introduced the first speaker of the evening, Howard Ector, Executive Secretary of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, Inc., who spoke very briefly on what the School is doing in the way of new plant equipment and buildings, and the progress on same. After a brief resume of the duties of a good alumnus and a good Alumni Club, Ector introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. George C. Griffin, Dean of Men at Georgia Tech, and one of the most respected and beloved men ever associated with the Institution. In his own inimitable man-ner, Dean Griffin brought the group up to date on what the graduates of today can expect from Industry, and vice ver-sa, interspersed with some of the humorous happenings that have occurred over the years at Georgia Tech. Fol-lowing these well-chosen remarks, the showing of the Georgia Tech-Kansas Orange Bowl game of this past Janu-ary 1st was shown and enjoyed by all. Thus concluded one of the best meetings ever held by this group. Plans are now being formulated for a giant rally of Tech men from every part of the State and surrounding territory for the night before the Tech-Vandy game. This game will be the kickoff for both teams on their 1948 schedules and will be played in Nashville on September 25, 1948.

NEW YORK A most enjoyable spring meeting and dinner was held by

the Georgia Tech Club of New York on Thursday evening April 22, at the Princeton Club in New York City. More than fifty alumni were present, despite the fact that many were out of the city on conventions and business engage-ments.

J. Albin Johnson, 1911, President of the New York Club, presided over the meeting most efficiently, and Dudley W. King, 1934, also did an excellent job as Secretary-Treasurer of the Club.

After the introductions of those present, a short business session was held and, among other matters, it was voted to hold the fall meeting at the Princeton Club, during the time when President Van Leer will be in New York. Mr. Max Ohlman, 1901, was warmly greeted when his presence was announced.

R. J. Thiesen, of Atlanta, Executive Secretary of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association was the guest-speaker at the meeting. He outlined the relatively recent and quite remarkable growth of the college and described some of the plans that have been proposed for the immedi-ate future. He also announced that the Board of Regents of the University System had voted to change the name of the Georgia School of Technology to the Georgia Insti-tute of Technology, effective July 1, 1948. The announce-ment met with much applause.

Mr. Thiesen concluded his talk by mentioning the foot-ball prospects for next fall, and by inviting all Alumni at the meeting and in the New York area to return to Georgia Tech lor their class reunions and Home Coming, on No-vember 6.

May-June, 1948 THE GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S

1947-1948 Annual Roll Call (NOTE: This list contains only the names of those who

have contributed to the current Roll Call, and does not include contributors who donated previous to the start of this Roll Call.)

Georgia Tech is on the move! New buildings going up, top-notch professors being added every month, old person-nel becoming infected with this new enthusiasm for a Greater Georgia Tech. Nothing breeds success like success, and this contagious spirit of progress and success has spread to the Alumni Body, and with great results!

In the first year of The Annual Roll Call the response for help from the Alumni Body has been outstanding. Georgia Tech can't operate as the outstanding Technological School of these parts without the help of Alumni and friends. That you are interested and willing to help has been proven by some 1,217 of you who gave a total of $21,269.25 toward a Greater Georgia Tech. This is an average gift of $17.47 from each of you.

To the Class of 1943 must go top honors for the 79 indi-viduals of this group who gave to Georgia Tech. Nipping at their heels, comes the Class of 1947 with 77 donors. Then in rapid succession comes the Class of 1942 with 66 donors, Class of 1941 with 63, and the Class of 1940 with 59 individuals who are interested in their school.

Since Georgia Tech was founded in 1888, the Registrar tells us that approximately 35,000 men have passed through its doors. Of this number, we have fairly accurate ad-dresses of some 16,000. To be exact, 16,010 appeals were distributed; 1218 responses were received for 7.6% par-ticipation. The appeal is for Every Georgia Tech Man to participate to some degree equivalent with his means. Mass response from the Alumniregardless of the amount do-natedis our aim. So get in the swim; join hands with the other 34,999 EX-TECHS to make ours THE Technological School in the United States.

The 1948-1949 Alumni Roll Call starts in September. 1890

May-June, 1948 THE GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S 13

Athletics at Georgia Tech (Baseball)

By G. C. Griffin Class of 1922

This is the first in a series of articles about athletics at Georgia Tech. Since baseball was the first sport started at Tech, it is apropos that we begin our series in baseball.

Our records for the years 1893 through 1897 are missing and if any "old-timers" have anything on baseball during that period, the writer would like to hear from him. We would also like to borrow old pictures so we might make reproductions. The pictures will be returned.

It is to be regretted that our early athletic records arc shrouded in mystery, even a search of the files of the Atlanta newspapers covering the early periods of Tech are not very fruitful. Evidently very little in an organized way took place until about 1891 when we find a record of our first baseball team. Starting this series of articles with baseball is natural, as evidently it was our first attempt at Varsity Athletics as we know them today. This sport for years overshadowed everything else in the sports field and it is rather sad to see how the modern college man has lost interest in a most interesting game.

The first record of a baseball team on the campus oc-curs in 1897. Nothing indicating games won or lost could be located. The 1891 team lined up as follows. C. M. Prit-chett, catcher; James Redding, pitcher; H. Arnold, IB; J. B. Wingfield, 2B; W. H. Glenn, 3B; J. H. Jones, S.S.; A. R. Colcod, R.F.; H. J. Anthony, C.F.; and J. W. Bridges, L.F.

The 1892 team lined up as follows: Whitney, Bridge, Stuart, Russell, Clarke, Werner, Hunter, Little & Black. The three games recorded indicated games with the Uni-versity of Georgia, Nemean Athletic Club (chances were that this should be Newnan A. C.) and Marietta. Georgia defeated Tech 8 to 3, and Tech won from Nemean A. C. 16 to 5, and from Marietta 15 to 5. We are sure other games were played but the records could not be located.

We now come to a gap in our records. Nothing could be found covering the years 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896, and 1897. However in 1898 our records begin to become a little more complete. The '98 squad consisted of the following: Smith, Clarke, Merritt, LaFitte, Erskine, Caldwell, Everett, C , McCall, Henley, Crumbless, Henry, Sullivan, and B. Ever-rett. Tech lost to the Atlanta Baseball Club 5 to 2, to Wake Forrest 12 to 2, won from Auburn 4 to 3, lost to Georgia 18 to 4, and lost to Mercer 10 to 8. As in other years, other games were played but no record of other games won and lost could be found.

The 1899 team, on games recorded, had a record of 500, winning from Auburn 18 to 8, and 6 to 4, and losing to Georgia 25 to 1 and to Mercer 14 to 2. The squad was made up as follows: W. P. Sullivan, Cooper, Hayes, W. Henley, Geo. Merritt, Smith, Rogers, Hicks, T. S. Murphy, Willing-ham, Patton, Fry, and LaFitte. A little more information on the 1900 team now comes to light. W. L. Clark was manager, Charley Todd, Coach, and W. Henley, Captain. Five games appear on the record: Wake Forest was de-feated 3 to 0, Auburn won 9 to 4, Georgia was snowed under 7 to 0, Tech lost to Rome 5 to 4 (10 innings) and lost to Sewanee 1 to 0.

In 1901, Todd was still Coach and Henley captain but Merry took over as manager and 13 games were played, with a record of nine games won and 4 lost. Record: Tech 8, Vanderbilt 0; Tech 5, Cornell 13; (first record of an eastern team in this section). Tech 13, Georgia 1; Tech 3, Mercer 0; Tech 3, Mercer 7; Tech 23, Wake Forest 12; Tech 15, Auburn 2; Tech 6, N. C. 9; Tech 16, Central 17 (game forfeited to Tech 9 to 0). (Where was Central and why was game forfeited?). Tech 15, Central 6; Tech 8, Atlanta Base-

The above scene depicts the height of optimism on the part of Student Organizations on the Tech campus. It was taken during the campaign to raise funds for the Student Union Building by selling tickets to the T-Doy Spring football game. Students, wives, and faculty were admitted to the east stand for $1 . 20 , the pro-ceeds going to the Student Union Building Fund.

ball Professional Team 7; Tech 10, Mercer 16; Tech 6, Mer-cer 5. Squad consisted of Hicks; Murphy, T. S.; Dan Gunn, W. Nell; George Merritt; J. McCathern; J. Paulsen; R. F. McKebben, Patterson, Moore, Morrison, Waddell & Cot-tingham.

In 1902, a new coach took over, Nicklen by name. Merry was still manager and E. C. Patterson became Coach. Squad: Patterson, J. Paulsen, Morrison, Hicks, Brunson, Cannon McPhail, Stiles, Lucas, T. S. Murphey, Yankey, Myers, Maddox, Schroder, Walker and Heyward. Five games were won and eight lost. Record: Tech 4, Hobard 8; Tech 5, Cornell 25; Tech 8, Mercer 1; Tech 1, Atlanta 12; Tech 12, Clemson 4; Tech 14, Tennessee 12; Tech 10, Georgia 11; Tech 1, Mercer 10; Tech 8, Georgia 7; Tech 7, Georgia 9; Tech 7, Tennessee 2; Tech 0, Tennessee 4; and Tech 2, Tennessee 4.

Still another coach appears on the scene in 1903. This time a Mr. Irving takes over, Bell became Manager and Brinson Coach. Squad: Sam Woodward, Soloman, Mur-phy, Fisher, Freeman, McPhail, Cannon, Patterson, Day, Hall, Ison, Maddox Poole, Todd, Cox, and Vaughn. Eighteen games were played, with a percentage of 500. Record: Tech 4, Mercer 6; Tech 1, Clemson 5; Tech 5, Atlanta 22; Tech 5, Wake Forest 9; Tech 1, Atlanta 16; Tech 8, Auburn 7; Tech 3, Georgia 5 (10 innings); Tech 4, Tennessee 2; Tech 10, Trinity 0; Tech 2, Vanderbilt 7; Tech 2, Vanderbilt 4; Tech 10, Georgia 5; Tech 9, Mercer 3; Tech 9, Tennessee 8; Tech 5, Tennessee 14; Tech 9, Sewanee 0; Tech 13, Sewanee 0.

1904 was a most important year at Tech. It marked the advent of J. W. Heisman as Coach and started Tech's climb to the peak in southern college athletics. Sam Woodward was captain in '04. No record of the 1904 Manager could be located. Seventeen games were won and six lost, the most ambitious schedule played so far. Georgia licked us two out of three games, one game going ten innings which Tech lost 2 to 1. Record: Tech 10, Mercer 4; Tech 10, Florida 1; Tech 13, Florida 0; Tech 8, Alabama 4; Tech 11, Alabama 4; Tech 8, Alabama 3; Tech 8, Wofford 0; Tech 23, Wofford 7; Tech 1, Clemson 6; Tech 4, Auburn 3; Tech 10, Georgia 4; Tech 11, Ft.

Alumni Clubs (Continued -from page 8)

Carl F. Phillips, 1920, handled the showing of the pictures in a most outstanding manner.

Before adjourning, President Johnson requested those present to send in the adresses of all other alumni, in the New York Area who may not be listed, to Dudley W. King, Sec'y-Treas., The Georgia Tech Club of New York. Room 3305, 63 Wall Street, New York 5, N. Y.

It was further asked that the foregoing be considered as an announcement to all Georgia Tech Alumni, in the New York State Area, to get in touch with Dudley King, if their names are not on his roster.

NORFOLK-PORTSMOUTH On Saturday, March 20, a group of 17 former Georgia

Tech men met at the YMCA in Norfolk, Virginia. Mr. R. B. Waterman, '33, called the meeting to order and

presented the two guests from Atlanta, Mr. Howard Ector and Mr. Roane Beard. Both of these men are associated with the Alumni Office. They informed the group about the work of their organizations, and told about the de-velopment plan, the Research Institute, the Graduate School, and the Technical Institute. Many questions were asked and much bull shot during the session.

The Tech-Kansas Orange Bowl film was shown, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

It was decided that there would be a Tech Club in Nor-folk; however, due to the limited number present, election of officers, etc., will be held at the next meeting.

Tech men in Norfolk and vicinity who have not been contacted are urged to contact Hugh D. Gibson, % Crane Co., 102 E. 22nd St., Norfolk.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. Georgia Tech Alumni from in and around Philadelphia,

numbering thirty or more, gathered for their spring meet-ing and dinner on Friday, April 16, at the University Club. Quite a few of the Alumni were out of the city; however, the list of Ramblin' Recks, in the Philadelphia area, isn't very large. In any event, all present thoroughly enjoyed the get-to-gether and the meeting was most successful.

Wm. C. "Bill" Wright, T. E., 1911, President of the Phila-delphia Georgia Tech Club, was the very able Master of ceremonies. Vice-President, Vernon "Skinny" Borum, M. E. 1923; and Sec'y-Treas., W. L. G. "Vars" Johnson. B.S. 1925, did plenty of good, advance work which added materially to the success of the dinner.

Among the members who were asked to say a few words, were: F. E. Whitney, 1892; R. J. Binford, 1900; Charles Adamson, 1909; Dr. Ed. Lafitte, 1910, and T. Talley, 1914.

It was good to note, too, that the larger numbers present were from the classes of 1939-1947.

Jack Thiesen, National Alumni Secretary, was present for the meeting and was the guest speaker at the dinner. He described Georgia Tech's progress and growth and briefly outlined the future expansion plans of the college. He also spoke of the athletic prospects for the coming year and told about the really big job that is now being done by the National Alumni Association and by the Alumni Foundation. He also announced that the Board of Regents had voted to change the name of the school to the "Georgia Institute of Technology", effective July first of this year. This statement was well received.

Upon the conclusion of Mr. Thiesen's remarks, colored motion pictures were shown of the Univ. of Kansas-Georgia Tech Orange Bowl football game as won by Georgia Tech 20-14, in Miami, Florida, on January 1, 1948.

Toward the end of the meeting, President Wright asked for all Georgia Tech Alumni, in and around Philadelphia, to contact Secretary W. L. G. Johnson, if they are not on his list. Address Wm. L. G. Johnson, Secretary Georgia

Tech Club of Philadelphia, 1036 Public Ledger Building, Philadelphia 6, Pa.

The meeting adjourned after the showing of the Orange Bowl football pictures.

WEST POINT, GA. The Valley Georgia Tech Club met at the West Point

Country Club on Wednesday, March 31, for steaks, movies and an address by Cherry Emerson, Dean of Engineering at Georgia Tech.

Dean Emerson told the Club about the problems con-fronting the Administration at Tech, how some of them had been solved, and proposed solutions for the balance of the problems. He pointed out the tremendous strides made under the able direction of Colonel Van Leer, Presi-dent of Georgia Tech.

Howard Ector, Executive Secretary of the Alumni Foundation, also a native of the Valley, explained the func-tions of the Foundation and covered several general topics. Roane Beard, Manager of Alumni Activities, tied in the work of the Alumni Association.

The Tech-Kansas Orange Bowl picture was shown, nar-rated by Mr. Ector.

The old block of officers, consisting of John Simmons, Frank Williams, and Tiny Morton was replaced by a young group of Tech men for the ensuing year. They are:

James Wright, '42, President Bill Spell, '40, V-President Marshall Mehaffey, '40, Sec.-Treas.

FOOTBALL NEWS LETTER - ATTENTION, FANS In years past there have been numerous complaints, all

justified, of course, that Georgia Tech athletics have not been getting any notice outside of the Atlanta newspaper coverage area. We want to do something about it for you Alumni and friends of the Ramblin' Recks.

This year, for the first time, with prospects for one of the best football teams in years, we want to keep the Alumni posted on just what the Jackets are doing, who they are individually, something of their backgrounds, and the general squad items that are of so much interest to all of you who follow the White and Gold. Does that sound interesting? Well, here's the story:

If enough of you out there are interested in this sort of thing, this office proposes to get out on plain mimeo-graphed sheets every second week starting with September 15, the full story on Tech football for the '48 season. How does that sound? Will you kick in a buck apiece to get this football letter? If enough of you show a desire to receive this so that we can break even on costs, then it's a deal.

What about it, Ex-Techs? Let us hear from you pronto: tell your friends, and drop us that buck. When and if we get sufficient response to this idea, then we will proceed; otherwise, you'll get the dollar back. Fair enough? We think it's a good idea, and we promise to give you the best dope available on Tech football for '48.

TOMMY BARNES WINS TOURNAMENT Tommy Barnes, '38, former Georgia Tech golfer and

present Southern Amateur, continued his winning ways by taking the Atlanta Dogwood Title on the week-end of April 22-24. It was the largest field ever to compete in Atlanta and featured the best golfers in the state.

Tommy and Gene Dahlbender, local golfer, had pre-viously tied with Bobby Locke, the South African pro-fessional, and Sammy Snead in an exhibition match.

16 THE GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S May-June, 1948

Blues Shade Whites on T-Day Coach Ray Ellis' Blue team defeated Coach Ray Graves'

White team 13-6 in a windup game at Grant Field played before approximately 6,000 football fans.

Highlight of the game was the spirited line play of both teams and the seriousness which all participants showed in trying to beat out his fellow competitor.

The first score came on a 42 yard run made by Jack Peek of the Blues in the first quarter. Bobby North con-verted. Shortly after the kickoff, Joe Cobb of the Whites made the longest run of the night when he dashed about 70 yards to the Blue 23. A fumble gave the Blues the ball.

In the second quarter Southard passed to George Brod-nax who lateraled to J im Nolan. The play covered 42 yards. From the 20 North gained 5. Southard then passed to North in the end zone for the second Blue score. The placement attempt was blocked by Thiesen.

Late in the final quarter the Whites started moving. A pass from Brown to Castleberry gained 22. Two successive passes from Brown to J immy Jordan picked up 12 and 19 yards. An attempted pass to Dick Harvin at the goal line was ruled interference and the Whites promptly bucked over from the 2 yard line.

First downs were even, 11 each. Tech supporters went away with the feeling that whoever played next fall would have some pretty good substitutes pushing for his position. 66 men played in the spring game.

The teams were more or less evenly divided as follows: BLUES (Coach Ray Ellis)

Centers: Doyal*, Smith*, and Rhodes Guards: McKinney*, Lusk, Flanagan*, Graham, C.

Brown, Talley, Kingery Tackles: Coleman*, Matthews*, Marciano, Ducey, F.

Smith, Bordelon Ends: Brodnax*, (Capt.), Nolan*, C. Anderson*, Gil-

Spring Football About the time when most colleges in the South were

concluding their spring football drills, Bobby Dodd called the start of Spring practice at Georgia Tech. The main reason for the late start is that the weather man is more kind in April than he is in February; also basketball is out of the way which releases some football talent.

It didn't take long for the rough work to start and the head-knocking has continued for six weeks at a fast pace.

If competition makes better players, Tech should do all right next fall. The competition at all positions is mighty keen, especially at the backfield positions.

There has been some experimental shifting of players by the coaching staff; however, at present no conclusions are available. J immy Jordan, 143 pound halfback, was shifted to full, quarterback Sykes shifted to half, and center Buck Doyal part time to guard. Many players were

In 1905 we revenged our defeats by Georgia in 1904, winning all three games. J. W. Heisman was still coach, a position that he retained until 1920 when he left to coach at Pennsylvania. T. E. Raht was manager and Sam Wood-ward was captain for the second time. Sixteen games were won and three lost. Record: Tech 15, Piedmont 3; Tech 11, Georgia 3; Tech 3, Trinity 2; Tech 4, Newberry 3; Tech 6, Newberry 2; Tech 5, Clemson 4; Tech 3, Clemson 5; Tech 2, Georgia 1; Tech 9, Mercer 2; Tech 0, Auburn 1; Tech 2, Auburn 4; Tech 11, Georgia 2; Tech 5, Mercer 3; Tech 10, Mercer 4; Tech 2, Mercer 0; Tech 4, Georgia 3; Tech 8, Sewanee 0; Tech 4, Sewanee 9; Tech 4, Sewanee 2.

In 1906 thirteen games were won and ten lost. One game was tied. Georgia again lost three out of three to Tech. Squad: Wright, M. H.; Robert, L. W.; Knight, A. C ; La-fitte, E.; Brooks; Buchanan; Stewart; Davenport; Parker; Derrick; Stewart; Allen; Chapman, John G.; Hen-drie, George; McDonnell, R. A.; Hamilton; Day; Stiles, Mc-Millian; Hightower, W. H.; Emerson, C. L. This marks the appearance for the first time of the famous Battery of Day & Knight.

In 1907, G. A. Hendree became Manager, R. A. Mc-Donnell, Assistant Manager, J. W. Heisman, Coach, but no record of who was captain. Squad: A. C. Knight, E. Lafitte, C. B. Brooks, W. H. Hightower, W. F. Stewart, J. E. Davenport, C. Buchanan, M. H. Wright, L. W. Robert, and R. C. Parker listed as the lone sub. Georgia was defeated twice but Auburn and Vanderbilt continued to be our Nemesis. Nine games were won and six lost. One tied. Record: Tech, 4, Mercer 0; Tech 2, Georgia 1; Tech 4, Clemson 2; Tech 2, Clemson 2; Tech 4, Mercer 6; Tech 1, Mercer 0; Tech 3, Sewanee 6; Tech 5, Sewanee 3; Tech 7, Sewanee 4; Tech 0, Vanderbilt 6; Tech 5, Vanderbilt 6; Tech 3, Vanderbilt 2; Tech 2, Auburn 3; Tech 2, Auburn 0; Tech 1, Auburn 4; Tech 4, Georgia 1.

1908 was rather peculiar. No games with Georgia listed, about the time of the Ringer Scandal over at Georgia which occurred in the fall of 1907. There will be more about this in the Football History. Squad: R. M. Mat-thews, L. G. Pease, W. H. Walden, J. E. Mayer, J. E. Daven-port, Asher Ayers, (subs.), R. Irwin, N. C. McCutcheon, H. J. Word, M. D. Hills, H. A. Desprez. Ten games won, eleven lost.

brought up from the " B " team, some showing real prom-ise. Among those showing up well from the "B" squad were Rumsey Taylor, John O'Neil, Cobb, and Jerkins; all backs, and Gilbreath at end.

Bill Healy, last year's captain, Lewis Hook, center, Dinky Bowen, half and fullback, Billy Queen, halfback, Bob Mc-Coy, halfback, and Henry Schoening, end, were all ex-cused from spring practice, but will be out next fall.

Buster Humphries, 190 pound fullback, got a broken arm about midway of the practice, and Rumsey Taylor was forced out with appendicitis.

BASKETBALL SPRING PRACTICE For the first time in its history Georgia Tech is having

spring basketball practice. Coach Roy McArthur an-nounced there would be three drills a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

All the players from this year's team, which went to the SEC finals, will be back next season, and additional support is expected in 1949. Lettermen for the past season were Nolan, Anderson, Dold, Keener, Sermersheim, Schoening, J. Stewart, and Fritch. Additional help is expected from Benny Register of Columbus, Ga., Bob Riedel, of New Jersey, Jack Owens of Savannah, Ga., and others.

At the present time J im Nolan is out for Spring football and track, Anderson and Dold are out for football, and Henry Schoening is playing baseball.

SWIMMING Tech's tank team again won the Southeastern Con-

ference Swimming Championship, nosing out Florida 60 to 54 for the honors. Georgia trailed with 38 points, LSU 12, and Vandy 4.

The Tech 300 yard medley relay team of Flowers, Towles, and Topp set a new SEC record of 3:08.8 minutes. The only other record was that by Theyx Stewart of Geor-gia, who reeled off the 150 yard backstroke in 1:42.4 minutes.

Johnny Hiles of Tech was high point man of the meet with two firsts in the 220 and 440 freestyle events. He also was on two relay teams. Hiles was awarded a trophy for being the best all-around swimmer of the meet.

GOLF Coach H. E. Dennison's golfers got off to a slow start this

spring, losing two close matches to Auburn, but then settled down to win four straight before dropping another to the Kentucky team.

This year's team in playing order is (1) Gordon Clay, (2) Duck Swann, (3) Tom Green, (4) Bill Clark, (5) Bill Pritchett, and (6) Gene Etheridge.

Results to date:

In the Southeastern Intercollegiate Golf Tournament played in Athens April 28-May 1, Tech placed three men in the Championship Flight only to have two of them, Swann and Green, eliminated in the first round, and Gor-don Clay in the second round.

Duck Swann, however, surprised everyone in the quali-fying by being medalist of the star-studded field, quali-fying with a 73. It was a day of very high winds which caused scores to be higher than usual. This made Swann the Southeastern Conference Champion as the low quali-fier in this meet becomes Champ. There is no SEC Meet. Tech placed third among the teams entered in the quali-fying. LSU was first.

Al Besselink, of Miami U., went on to win the Athens Tournament.
