"It offered independence, security, unlimited earning possibilities"

As AN undergraduate at the University of Michigan during the early years of the war, I was not too imme­diately concerned about a career. I knew that Uncle Sam would soon solve that problem for me.

However, I had always been favorably inclined toward life insurance, for my Dad had been associated with New England Mutual for almost 20 years. And his satisfaction with his career has been evident in his everyday life and in the home he has provided for our family.

So when the Army sent me to a training camp near Boston, I looked up some of the men in New England Mutual's home office. At the same time, I met the girl and married her, and naturally I began to think more definitely about a post-Army career. Together we cataloged the advantages and disadvantages of many different careers.

But each time we came back to life insurance. It offered — in a way no other career seemed to — inde­pendence, security, public service, and unlimited earning possibilities. As a result of these deliberations, I enrolled in New England Mutual's basic training course while I was still in the Army Air Corps.

After the war—in April of 1946 to be exact —I joined the New England Mutual agency in Denver. In addition to extensive training here in Denver, I have had two courses at the home office in Boston. I have also attended several inspiring regional meet­ings and have enjoyed and profited from my 4-year association with this company.

I have made a much better living than would have been possible in a salaried job, and I have saved a substantial fund for future needs. At the present time, I am spending half my time working with the new men in our agency, helping them find the same satis­factions that I have enjoyed as a career life underwriter.

\*&4rfr Yi. ^ayv^iZ,.

Recent graduates of our Home Office training course, although new to the life insurance business, earn average first-year commissions of $3600—which, with renewal com­missions added, brings the total yearly income average to $5700. From here, incomes rise in direct proportion to each individual's ability and industry.

We're trying to catch up with costs Increases in the price you pay for telephone service

are far behind the increases in wages and other costs

-LIIE PRICE of telephone service has

gone up much less than the price of almost everything else you buy. It has gone up far less than the cost of pro­viding the service. Take wages, which are the biggest item, as an example.

Rates Up Far Less Than Wages — The increases granted so far in rates for telephone service are only about half the increases of $728,000,000 in telephone wages during the ten-year period through 1949.

In addition to wages, the costs of materials and almost everything else used in furnishing telephone service have risen substantially.

These things mean higher operat­ing costs. Thev also mean higher con­struction costs and hence increase the amount of investment for each new telephone that is added.

The Need for Adequate Rates — These are some of the reasons why telephone rate increases are so neces­

sary. The Bell Telephone Companies, however, have not asked nor do they intend to ask for more than is needed to keep on giving you good telephone service — service that improves and expands and grows in its value to you.

Only a Penny or so a Call — Rate increases so far, plus those now re­quested, average only a penny or so per call — a small amount compared to the value, security and convenience of telephone service.

IN MEMORIAM With the passing of Georgia Tech's

beloved coach and great character builder, William Anderson Alexander, on Sunday, April 23, the college has reached a culmination, as it were, of very grievous bereavements. In this issue, alone, of the Alumnus the deaths of other very prominent alumni are also recorded, and our hearts are sad with it all.

During relatively recent years and in past months, we have been addi­tionally distressed at the deaths of many, too many, more of our fine, en­deared and brilliant deans and pro­fessors, and the grand young sons and other alumni of Georgia Tech, in World Wars I and II. And now, the death of Coach Alex.

Great is our grief and our losses are irreparable.

Commencement Exercises And Alumni Reception

At the conclusion of the commence­ment exercises on Monday, June 12, the annual luncheon reception of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association, in honor of the June, '50, graduates, will be held at Brittain Dining Hall.

An interesting innovation this year will be the presentation of "wedlock diplomas" during the reception, by President Van Leer to the wives, of more than a year, of the married gradu­ates.

AH members of the graduating class, their families and dates, alum­ni, faculty, staff personnel and their respective ladies are cordially in­vited to attend the luncheon recep­tion as guests of the Alumni Asso­ciation. Please call the alumni office, VErnon 8540, for reservations.

Commencement Speaker As previously announced, General

Lucius Clay, U.S.A., retired, and now Chairman of the Board of the Inter­national Can Co., will give the prin­cipal address at the Commencement Exercises, Monday morning, June 12, on Grant Field at Georgia Tech. Gen­eral Clay needs no introduction to any of the informed populace, throughout the entire world. His brilliant war and diplomatic achievements in the U. S. Army and in Berlin, among other high­ly important national and international historical events, will be r e c o r d e d throughout the ages.

The distinguished alumni award pres­entation and the induction of graduates into the Alumni Association will follow the conferring of degrees, at the close of the exercises.

4 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Death of Coach Alexander Nationally Mourned "For when the One Great Scorer comes To write against your name, He marks — not that you won or lost — But how you played the game."

— GRANTLAND RICE

Georgia Tech students, faculty mem­bers, former athletes and other alumni, the athletic staff, the sports world and a host of other friends and associates were shocked and deeply grieved at the passing of Coach William A. Alex­ander on Sunday morning, April 23.

Despite failing health over the past few years, Coach Alex carried on his duties as Athletic Director at Georgia Tech until the day of his death. He was indisposed for a few days, about a week prior to his passing, but he was up and about and attended a cabinet meeting on April 19, and was actively planning the erection of a large and greatly needed athletic building on the campus. He was in his office through­out the week of April 17-22 and at­tended a full spring football practice game from which he returned home in good spirits and chatted with members of his family before going to sleep — never to awaken again here on earth.

Affection, Esteem and Honors Throughout the deep and continued

grief of all, there is a real comfort to know that great love, affection and esteem, and the highest of awards and honors were bestowed upon Coach Alex during his only too short but so deserv-ingly glorious span of life.

Ever unassuming, he took his many honors with becoming modesty; and, in fact, it was characteristic of him to pass credit on to his teams, staff mem­bers and other associates.

Distinguished Career Born at Mud River, Kentucky on

June 6, 1889, almost sixty-one years ago, Coach Alex entered Tech as a student in 1907. He played on the Yellow Jacket gridiron squads in 1907, 1908, and 1909 and served as a student assistant coach in 1910. After receiving his civil engi­neering degree he taught in the mathe­matics department and was named as­sistant football coach under the re­nowned John W. Heisman in 1912. He served overseas during the first World War and came back in 1919 as assistant coach.

In 1920, Heisman became head coach at the University of Pennsylvania and Coach Alex succeeded him in that ca­pacity at Ga. Tech, so serving until 1945, when he became Athletic Director. Coach Bob Dodd succeeded Coach Alex at that time as head football coach at Tech.

ALEXANDER AND TECH — ONE AND INSEPARABLE By OSCAR G. DAVIS

The Man himself is gone but for Georgia Tech and Tech men, Coach Alexander will always be here.

Yes, Tech and Alexander are one and inseparable. Tech was always a part of him and he had become a vital part of Tech. They "grew up together," each contributing to the other's prog­ress and fame.

Like Rockne and Notre Dame, Bill Alexander will always be a dominant, living part of Tech's tradition, spirit, ideals and development. They are synonymous and neither death nor time can separate the two.

Alex's contribution to Ga. Tech went far beyond his success and national

recognition as a football coach. For a time he served Tech as an excellent teacher of mathematics. At all times he was a teacher of a fine, rugged philoso­phy and homespun honesty. Sparing with words, he had an uncanny ability to cut to the heart of things with a sin­gle phrase. He had no patience wtih hy­pocrisy and possessed the rare quality of sometimes speaking with brusque bluntness and making you love him for it. Like any other leader, he stepped on a few toes but was beloved by the many.

Because of Alexander's vision and judgment, Tech has benefited by many

May-June, 1950

ALEXANDER MOURNED NATIONALLY (Cont'd) During his life Coach Alex was ac­

corded virtually every honor available to a man of his chosen profession. He was the first coach to put his football teams in the four major post season bowl games. His Jackets participated in the Rose Bowl game of 1929, the Orange Bowl tilt of 1940, the Cotton Bowl en­counter of 1943 and the Sugar Bowl contest of 1944.

For a number of years Coach Alex served on the football rules committee of the NCAA and was responsible for many of the progressive changes and additions to the rules. In 1932 he, Bob Zuppke and Alonzo Stagg revised the rules in an attempt to make the game safer. The result of their efforts was the outlawing of the flying block, the flying tackle and similar maneuvers.

In a poll conducted by The New York World-Telegram in 1942, he was named as "Coach of the Year." That award is based on "skill as a football teacher, reputation for sportsmanship, achieve­ment in competition, influence for the welfare of football, and ideal relation­ship to his players."

In 1946, Coach Alex was awarded the Stagg Award which is given in honor of the famous Alonzo Stagg. The award is made annually by the American Coaches Association of which Coach Alex was a past president. It goes to the individual who "has done the most worthy job towards the advancement of the best interests of football."

He was selected in 1948 to receive the annual award of the National Touchdown Club of New York City. This trophy is given annually to the person who has done the most for foot­ball over a long period of time. In the fall of 1942, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce presented him with its "Cer­tificate of Achievement" as the first citizen of the city. Just prior to this, during the June Commencement, in 1942, Coach Alex received the Georgia Tech A l u m n i Distinguished Service Award, presented by the then President of Georgia Tech, Dr. M. L. Brittain, now President-Emeritus.

A life-size bust of Coach Alexander, excellently done in bronze by Georgia Tech's nationally prominent sculptor, J. H. "Judy" Harris, Arch., '28, was presented to Georgia Tech two years ago at the Alumni-Senior Anak Ban­quet. The bust has a place of honor in the Georgia Tech Athletic Association Office Building on the campus.

A Great Administrator and Character Builder

Coach Alex was truly a great man in many grand ways. First of all and to his everlasting glory, he built good character on the athletic field and off. He developed intramural athletics at

Georgia Tech to such an extent that all students in the college, including the physically handicapped, were provided with well organized and competently directed physical training courses.

When he became head coach, the only permanent seating at Grant Field was provided by the old West Stand. In 1926, the stands in the east and the south were built; and in 1947, the mod­ern new West Stands were constructed at a cost of $634,000. He planned, di­rected and obtained the funds for Geor­gia Tech's entire and superb athletic plant which includes Grant Field Stadi­um with its three large buildings on the northern boundary; and excellent baseball fields, basketball, tennis and badminton courts, softball fields, mod­ern swimming pool, one of the best tracks in the country and probably the best press boxes in the nation, up-to-date dressing rooms, indoor rifle range, gymnasium, business offices and so on.

The Georgia Tech athletic plant ex­tends from North Avenue, between Techwood and Fowler, and on out to Tenth Street on the north; nine solid blocks. Tech's Rose Bowl Field on Fifth Street is still another monument to Coach Alex. His developments, in all, have produced more than $4,000,000 worth of real estate and buildings, with­out cost to the taxpayers of the State of Georgia.

His comprehensive and p r a c t i c a l plans for the future were well outlined, and drawings are about complete for a large, athletic building for inter­collegiate and intramural sports; and, in ever deserving tribute to him, it has been announced that the massive struc­ture will be, the ALEXANDER ME­MORIAL BUILDING.

Last Rites Georgia Tech was closed on the day

of Coach Alexander's funeral; and the flag of the college was at half-mast, in his memory, from the time of his death throughout his final day on earth.

Universities and colleges were repre­sented at the funeral services by their head coaches and administrative offi­cials. The presidents and other officers of the Georgia Tech National Alumni As­sociation, Alumni Foundation, Georgia Tech clubs, Touchdown and civic clubs, City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, and many other organizations were among the hundreds that were present to pay their humble respects to Coach Alex, along with a host of his former players, faculty members, students and other devoted friends.

The active pallbearers were Bobby Dodd, George Griffin, Roy Mundorff, J. T. Doonan, C. L. Emerson, Dan I. Maclntyre, Ben W. Sinclair, and Dr.

hundreds of thousands of dollars. He guided the Athletic Association through shaky financial years and, when the payoff finally came through the turn­stiles, he channeled the funds into the building of a fine athletic plant — stadium, swimming pool, gymnasium, tennis courts. Then he used these facili­ties not just for inter-collegiate ath­letics, but also for the operation of a fine i n t r a m u r a l p h y s i c a l program. Such concrete and enduring achieve­ments stand as testimony to his canny, vigorous business ability.

But, Coach Alexander did not live to see fulfilled his ultimate goal — a general athletic building and field house at Tech, worthy of the school and adequate for its needs. He had worked toward this goal for years. It was his dream. There just hadn't been enough money to finance such a build­ing, and Alex had vigorously resisted any makeshift. He was actively work­ing on the project right up to the day of his death.

Now, however, the Ga. Tech Athletic Association has announced that it is going to make Alex's dream come true. The Athletic Association is going to conduct a campaign to raise the needed money to build the structure that was planned by Alex. This action of the Athletic Association has received the endorsement of the Ga. Tech Alumni Association.

Of course it is to be a memorial to Bill Alexander. For, only as a tribute and memorial to Alex could such a campaign prove successful. It gives an opportunity to many, many people to express appreciation and love for him in a graceful, helpful way — a way that he would like. A memorial as a me­morial would have no place in Alex's thinking. But a memorial with a fine purpose is fitting to the man it honors.

Yes, Alex is still working for Tech! It's "the old man" who after all, is going to finally raise the money and get the building he wanted Tech to have!

COACH ALEXANDER Lamont Henry.

Honorary pallbearers were Colonel Blake Van Leer, Edwin Camp, George Gardner, Charles Griffin, Tom Slate, Dr. D. M. Smith, Elmer F. Cox, Coaches Ray Ellis, Ray Graves, Joe Pittard, Roy McArthur and Norris Dean.

The family survivors are his wife, the former Mrs. Marie Maclntyre Scott; daughters, Mrs. Charles Hurst, Atlanta; Mrs. Southworth Bryan, Jefferson, and Miss Marie Scott, Atlanta; son, Bucher Scott; sister, Mrs. Norbert Heerman, Woodstock, N. Y., and four grand­children.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

ALEXANDER MEMORIAL BUILDING PLANNED Dodd, Athletic Director — Mundorf f , Physical Training Head

Architect's model of the proposed Alexander Memorial Building. The $2,000,000 athletic, physical training and assembly building will have a seating capacity of ten thousand for basketball games and sixteen thousand for stage presentations and general assem­blies. It will be located on the Georgia Tech campus, in the center of Rose Bowl Field, corner Fifth and Fowler Streets.

During its April 25 meeting, the Georgia Tech Athletic Board authorized the pursuance of plans for the construc­tion of a $2,000,000 physical training and general athletic center, to be dedi­cated in memory of Coach Alexander and to be named the Alexander Me­morial Building.

In addition, the Board appointed Head Football Coach Robert E. Lee Dodd as the new Director of Athletics, and named Coach Roy Mundorff to head Georgia Tech's large Physical Training Department.

No definite financing plans have been formulated, as yet, for the memorial; however, a very active committee was appointed to begin work immediately for the prompt development of the project. The committee is comprised of Vice-President C. L. Emerson, chair­man; John O. Chiles, R. B. Wilby, J. J. Westbrook, alumni members of the Athletic Board; Dean Phil B. Narmore, Professor W. C. Whitley, Charles M. Griffin, Business Mgr., and Estes Mann,

student member of the Athletic Asso­ciation.

Preliminary drawings have already been made for the building which will have a total seating capacity of 16,000 and a like accommodation for 10,000 at basketball games. The memorial struc­ture will be located on the northwest corner of Fifth and Fowler Streets, on the site of the present Rose Bowl Field.

Letters and contributions have been coming in to President Van Leer and to offices of other officials on the cam­pus, in contemplation of the memorial for Coach Alex. The funds will be kept in trust for the building project.

President Van Leer stated that the proposed building would be the second largest of its kind in the country, sur­passed in size by Madison Square Gar­den only, in New York City. Appointments of Mundorff and Dodd

The Athletic Board recommended to the faculty authorities that Roy Mun­dorff be made head of the Physical Training Department which is a part of the school system and not under

the direction of the Athletic Associa­tion. The appointment must be ap­proved by the Board of Regents.

Bob Dodd's appointment as Atheletic Director is a fitting reward to the popu­lar head football coach. Bob was born in Galax, Va., forty-three years ago. He married the former Miss Alice Davis in 1933 and they have two children, Linda and Bobby.

After finishing high school in Kings-port, Tenn., Dodd attended the Uni­versity of Tennessee and began his remarkable college football career un­der General Bob Neyland. He was All-America quarterback at Tennessee in 1930; and in 1931 he came to Georgia Tech to be backfield coach under Coach Alexander.

When Coach Alex resigned as head football coach in February, 1945, to become athletic director and head of the physical education program at Georgia Tech, Bob Dodd succeeded him. Since the fall of 1945, Dodd's foot­ball teams have won 37 games and lost 15.

EDITORIAL TRIBUTES TO COACH ALEX

Editors, sports and feature writers and columnists in Atlanta and through­out the nation, were as one in their grand and warm tributes to Coach Alexander, and their exceptional writ­ings will ever remain as treasured me­morials in his honor at Georgia Tech.

GRANTLAND RICE'S EDITORIAL From all of the quite superior articles,

we are taking the liberty of quoting the one from the world's dean of sports writers, Grantland Rice. In his columns and by special assignment to the At­lanta Constitution on April 24, he wrote:

"Fine Person, Great Coach" "In the death of Bill Alexander, foot­

ball, as well as sports in general, lost one of its finest people and one of its great­est leaders. Thousands have lost a friend who will not be forgotten.

"Bill Alexander, during his career at Georgia Tech, was something more than a brilliant football coach and a smart athletic director. He was a true philoso­pher who understood the strength and weakness of his fellow man. He wasted little time in vague theories and no one could cut his way through a mass of red tape as rapidly as Bill could in searching for the right answer.

"I have known Bill Alexander for over 40 years, since he first came up as John Heisman's assistant and later took over the main job when Coach Heisman left.

"Alexander had never been much of a football player. He never made the Georgia Tech team. But he had such a keen grip on the game's strategy and knew so well how to get the best from his material that he was an immediate success. Alex sensed the fact that Geor­gia Tech would be shy on power and bulk. So he turned to speed and smart­ness, where his teams were always dan­gerous with a new type of football along the lines of a baffling attack.

"I don't know of any man in the game who had the knack of making friends as Alexander did. He had a personality which appealed to every section of the country because it was warm with hu­man kindness and was also packed with wit and wisdom. He was an old-fashioned type of fellow when he was a young coach, and certainly he worried less about the outcome of a game than any football coach I ever knew. He did his job thoroughly and then let nature take its course.

"Football with its coaches' meetings and its many councils will miss Bill Alexander more than any other man I know. There will be nothing that can quite take the place of his firm hand­grip, his quick smile and the humor that never left him, no matter what the breaks of the game."

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Alfred D. Kennedy, Foundation Trustee, Died April 10 Alfred D. Kennedy, ST., E.E., 1903,

prominent Atlanta business leader and a Trustee of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, died at a private hospital in Atlanta on April 10, 1950. He was 69 years of age, and had been seriously ill from time to time, though not infirm at all, over the past few years.

Mr. Kennedy was born in Camden, S. C , January 23, 1881. He attended the University of South Carolina for a time and then came to Georgia Tech, graduating in 1903 with the degree of B.S. in Electrical Engineering. While at Tech he was a member of the A.T.O. Fraternity, serving his Chapter as Pres­ident. He was Vice-President of the class of 1902 and manager of the Geor­gia Tech football team of 1903. One of the original promoters of the Technical Institute of Georgia Tech at Chamblee, he was also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation at his death. He was the first manager of the Georgia Tech Student Supply Book Department. This position helped him to meet part of his college expenses.

On leaving Tech, he was affiliated with the Southern Cotton Oil Company until 1911, at which time he accepted a position with the American Machine and Manufacturing Company as Vice-President and Manager. While with the American Machine and Manufac­turing Company he not only traveled in the United States in the interest of the Oil Mill Industry, but also made a trip to the Orient.

In 1922, Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Joseph Davidson formed the present David­son-Kennedy Company, which he suc­cessfully operated until his death.

Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Davidson held numerous patents on Hydraulic Oil Mill machinery which were developed after they formed the Davidson-Kennedy Company. During World War I he manufactured 55 mm shells, and Lib­erty ship parts during World War II, a very vital factor in both wars.

For many years, Mr. Kennedy served as a Senior Warden of St. Luke's Epis­

copal church. He was also a Rotarian and a member of the Capital City and Piedmont Driving Clubs.

Known throughout Southeastern en­gineering circles, Mr. Kennedy was giv­en special recognition in Who's Who in Engineering for many years. He was a member of the American Society of Me­chanical Engineers, the National Asso­ciation of Manufacturers and during World War II served on the small Busi­ness Advisory Committee of the War Production Board.

Surviving are his wife; two sons, Al­fred D. Kennedy, Jr., and A. Thornton Kennedy; a brother, Henry B. Ken­nedy, of Atlanta; a sister, Mrs. Edgmont von Treskow, of Camden, S. C , and three grandchildren, Misses Virginia Hightower and Edna Thornton Ken­nedy and Alfred Kennedy III. Alfred D. Kennedy, ST.

BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Trustees of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, in meeting assembled:

That its deep sympathy be expressed to the bereaved family of ALFRED DOBY KENNEDY

That a copy of this Resolution be conveyed to his family, and that it be inscribed on the permanent minutes of the Foundation.

He was a loyal and valued friend. As an alumnus, as a former mem­ber of the Executive Board of the National Alumni Association, as a Trustee of the Alumni Foundation, and in his individual capacity he ably and unselfishly served the cause of the Georgia Institute of Technology.

His business achievements, untiring civic activities and genuine graciousness meant much to all with whom he came in contact and helped to make his city, state, and nation great.

His memory will always be cherished by us; and his exemplary life will ever stand as a mark of eminence for the guidance of the younger generations of Georgia Tech, and all others, who aspire to noble ideals.

ANNUAL DEDICATED TO DEAN AJAX At the Georgia Tech Publications

Banquet on the night of May 12, the editorial staff of the Blue Print, an­nounced that the 1950 issue of the year-book was dedicated to "an out­standing man at Tech." The citation page carries the following, h i g h l y merited dedication:

"We dedicate with deep gratitude and sincere respect this, the forty-third volume of the Blue Print, to Fred Wes­ley Ajax, B.A., M.A., Associate Dean of

Students, who as Coordinator of Vet­erans Affairs and Placement Officer has devoted his energies and efforts in an untiring manner to the students and to the advancement of the Georgia Insti­tute of Technology. We give credit where credit is due."

Dean Ajax was then given a special advance copy of the 1950 Blue Print, with his name engraved in gold on the cover. He stated in accepting the vol­ume that the members of the Blue Print staff had made all the preparations,

even to getting his picture for the dedi­cation pages, without his having any idea that such was their intention. In closing he said, "I am sincerely grate­ful to Hank McCamish and the staff, and I sit down blushing to my toes!"

Dean Griffin, after remarking, "For me, this has been a right peaceful year," went on to say, "I want to com­mend the Blue Print staff for dedicating this issue to Dean Ajax. I don't know of anybody who works harder for the benefit of Georgia Tech."

NATION-WIDE EXPRESSIONS LAUD COACH ALEXANDER

Literally, hundreds of heartfelt tr i­butes and messages of condolence from all over the world were received at the home of Coach Alexander on the day of his death. Many more expressions were also conveyed to his family, through the Athletic Department and the Administrative Offices of Georgia Tech; and messages continue to arrive from even the farthest points of the earth.

Officials Pay Tribute to Coach Alex Officials of Georgia Tech were among

the very first to pay tribute to their great coach and administrator.

President Van Leer of the college, stated that:

"Bill Alexander was one of Georgia Tech's all-time greats.

"All over the world, men of Georgia Tech will be grieved by the news of his death.

"Although he was best known for his athletic deeds, his brilliant mind and determination would have made him a success in any endeavor he might have undertaken.

"Few people know that he once was an instructor in mathematics at Tech, yet he was one of the best we ever had.

"The great thing about Alex was his character. He was always just, fair and right. He will be throughly missed at Tech but his memory will live on for­ever."

Pres. Emeritus M. L. Brittain said: "Coach Alexander was a great pillar

of support to me in my 22 years as president of Georgia Tech. An upright and straightforward man, he was at all times in favor of a high standard of scholarship for athletes. Georgia Tech has lost one of its finest men in the sturdy, fine character he manifested while here.

"He was an asset to the school, to the State of Georgia and to the entire na­tion. People beyond the confines of our State listened to him with respect and admiration.

"I found him a stern, but at heart a lovable, man who was always engaged in doing good deeds for his fellow men. All of us will miss him and his wise counsel."

Vice-President Cherry L. Emerson, a schoolmate of Coach Alex, stated:

"In the passing of W. A. Alexander, Georgia Tech has suffered an irrepara­ble loss. For 40 years his fine influence has been exerted for the good of the athletic program of this institution, first as a player, then as an assistant coach, afterwards for 25 years as head coach and finally as athletic director.

"Not only were the teams represent­ing this institution successful in inter­

collegiate competition, but largely due to his influence and example, they up­held a high gentlemanly conduct, both on and off the field. He initiated a wide­spread program of intra-mural sports for those students who did not possess the physique for varsity play.

"This has broadened under his direc­tion until now there is a physical train­ing program for every student.

"On many occasions, to my knowl­edge, he sacrificed his own personal advantage for the good of the school, not only for the athletic program, but for the institution as a whole. His own life and character set a high standard and shining example for his players, particularly, and for the institution.

"He exemplified those splendid, man­ly virtues of courage, loyalty, indomi­table fortitude, truth, honesty and self-reliance.

"While he did not wear his heart on his sleeve, he had a deep inner sym­pathy and affection for all youth. His intimates sensed this and loved him for it.

"No man who has worn the Gold and White as a player can be found who does not speak good of Alex.

"He was my close friend and there are strong emotions which go entirely beyond my appreciation of him as a fellow official.

"The suddenness of his death takes away the ability to express them except to say 'He was a man, take him for all in all, we shall not look upon his like again'."

Oscar S. Davis, president of the National Association, said "Alex was far more than a great football coach. He was above all a grand and great per­son. All Tech men and particularly those who had the privilege of playing football under him have lost a real and beloved friend. He symbolized the true spirit of Georgia Tech."

Bob Dodd, Ga. Tech's head coach and athletic director, stated that Coach Alex's contributions to football and to collegiate athletics, in general, were immeasurable.

"At a time like this," he added, "it is difficult to even attempt to pay tri­bute to the memory of such a grand man.

"I said at the time I joined him 19 years ago that I considered myself honored and fortunate to start out under a man of his ability and char­acter. Everything that has happened since that time has only served to heighten that opinion and cause me to respect and admire him all the more.

"His contributions to football and col­legiate athletics in general are immeas­

urable. His work, as well as the high esteem in which he was held by every­one who came to know him, will endure forever.

"His death has saddened all of us." Wallace Butts, Georgia's head foot­

ball coach and athletic director, said the South has lost the man who has done more for athletics than any other in the death of Georgia Tech's W. A. Alexander.

Informed of the death of the man who headed the athletic program at the institution that affords him his chief rivalry, Coach Butts said:

"Those of us who had to compete against him knew how tough it was to beat him, but we all respected him because he was always a square shooter. Everyone in athletics is saddened by his passing."

At New York Columbia University, Coach Lou Little said, "In my 30 years of college football I've never known anyone who has contributed more than Bill. We will miss him as a great leader. Bill had the keenest mind and ability to foresee needed rules changes of anyone on the football rules com­mittee."

Frank Leahy, Notre Dame football coach, said at South Bend, "The sports world has lost an outstanding and colorful figure in the death of Coach Alexander.

"I am awfully sorry to hear about his death. He was a tremendous credit to the coaching profession. I know Coach Alex always exerted a great deal of influence over those who played for him. He will be missed by all who knew him. He was highly regarded in the profession and that regard was shared by the late Knute Rockne."

Vanderbilt Coach Bill Edwards said, "I had only known Alexander a short time, but I admired and respected him — as did everyone who knew him. I considered him one of the greatest and finest men in football. He'll be greatly missed."

Wallace Wade, of Duke — "The pass­ing of Coach Bill Alexander is a per­sonal loss to me as well as a great loss to college football throughout the nation and the South, especially. Coach Alex­ander and I have been great friends and we have been sending teams against each other for a great number of years. We worked together on the Football Rules Committee and his passing came as a great shock to me."

From Alonzo Stagg in Portland, Ore., came: "He was a very superior coach, a charming gentleman and we mem­bers of the NCAA football rules com-

EXPRESSIONS LAUD COACH mittee were very fond of Bill. He was a very useful man in connection with the rules committee. I regret I never saw any of his great teams play and very, very sorry to hear of his death. However, I am not surprised in a way, because at the Savannah meeting of the rules committee two years ago, Bill had a heart attack. That was the first we knew that he was having heart trouble."

Paul Bryant, University of Kentucky

ALEX (Cont'd) coach, remarked — "I've admired and respected Coach Alexander all my life. Losing him is a great blow to our con­ference and to athletics the nation over."

South Carolina's Rex Enright, in­formed at the Municipal Airport of Alexander's death, said " A m e r i c a n football has lost one of its truly great leaders. We of the South have lost a great friend.

"Up until his retirement a short time

ago, he turned out teams for more than 20 years which were outstanding not on­ly in the South but the entire nation."

Many other messages were received but, unfortunately, our relatively small publication cannot carry them all.

VALUED MEMBERS OF ALUMNI STAFF RESIGN On March 24, Roane Beard, '40,

valued Manager of Alumni Activities, resigned from his position with the Georgia Tech National Alumni Asso­ciation to go with the Jefferson Mills, at Jefferson, Georgia. The change offered him greater business oppor­tunities than those provided by the alumni office; and, while he was reluc­tant to leave, to say nothing of the great regrets also, on the part of the Alumni Association, it was felt that any i m p r o v e m e n t he might make for his three children, his wife, and himself would certainly be the thing to do and quite justifiable.

Roane Beard's letter of resignation states: MEMORANDUM TO:

The Board of Trustees, Georgia Tech National Alumni Ass'n

FROM: W. Roane Beard, Manager of Alumni Activities

It is with sincere regret that I hereby submit my resignation as Manager of Alumni Activities, effective April 8, 1950, terminating a position held for approximately 2 years, 8 months.

My reasons for leaving are purely mercenary, as I have never held a job which gave me more pleasure or brought me into contact with such genuinely fine people as the one from which I am resigning. I am accepting a position with Jefferson Mills, Jeffer­son, Georgia, which has a definitely greater opportunity for financial re­ward, and felt that I shouldn't let the opportunity slip by.

Having reached the age where I should have made up my mind what my career will be, and having a wife and three children, I examined the future prospects of continuing to work with the Alumni Association. I find that I can live comfortably under the

present pay, but would probably never be able to salt anything away to give my children a college education or retire at the ripe old age of 65. Further, should something happen to this job, the work done here, while not wasted, does not train you in a field where one can jump into a similar position at an­other college. This is because every col­lege prefers to hire its own graduates. S i n c e r e t h a n k s for y o u r m a n y kindnesses,

(Signed) W. ROANE BEARD March 24, 1950

Just a short while prior to Roane Beard's resignation, Hazel M. Cham-bless, Alumni Foundation and Asso­ciation secretary-bookkeeper and re­ceptionist, resigned, effective May 31, to become a June bride.

Mrs. Chambless began her duties with the Alumni Foundation in Febru­ary, 1944; shortly thereafter, she took on her combined work with the Foun­dation and the Alumni Association and she has been exceptionally valuable and efficient with it all.

SENIOR ARCHITECT AWARDED PRIZED FELLOWSHIP i

David A. Crane, a naval veteran of World War II and a fifth-year archi­tectural student at Georgia Tech, has been awarded one of the 1950 national Tau Beta Pi Fellowship awards of $1,200 and one year's tuition at a uni­versity of his choice.

One of these awards is given eack year to each of seven outstanding grad­uating senior or alumni members of Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engi­neering fraternity. Recipients are rated on scholarship, leadership, campus ac­tivities, honors and financial need of assistance.

David Crane was born on January 25, 1927 in Mutoto, Belgian Congo, Africa, where his parents were engaged in missionary work. His elementary and high school training was received in the Belgian Congo, Davidson, N. C , and Tuscaloosa, Ala. He left Davidson College to serve in the U. S. Navy during the war. At the end of hostili­ties, Crane enrolled at Georgia Tech to study architectural engineering.

Crane, at present editor of the Geor­gia Tech Engineer, has participated in almost every phase of student activities during his college career at Davidson and Tech. At Davidson he lettered in football and track and was a member of the "D" Club, Beta Theta Pi, and Dean's List. At Tech his activities include Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, Dean's List for four years, ANAK, ODK, Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni­versities, the Architectural Society, Bulldog Club, and Pi Delta Epsilon.

After receiving his B.S. degree in June and Bachelor in Architecture in September, Crane plans to take his graduate fellowship work at the Har­vard Graduate School of Design.

P R O M I N E N T L Y M E N T I O N E D T. H. Caraker, Jr., formerly with

A. & P. in Atlanta, was recently elected to the board of directors of the Atlantic division of A. & P. Food Stores. Mr. Caraker is divisional director of per­sonnel for the company. A native of Milledgeville, Ga., he attended Georgia Military College and was graduated from Georgia Tech in 1932. While at­tending college he worked for A. & P. and upon his graduation he joined the company in Philadelphia. He was a supervisor when he entered the Army in World War II and received his dis­charge as a lieutenant colonel after serving in the Pacific.

Col. Samuel G. Green, B.S. in E.E., 1915, is among the very few who re­ceived both the highest civilian award, "Exceptional Meritorious Medal," and the "Legion of Merit Medal" for mili­tary service in World War II for out­standing scientific work in the creation, development and directing the produc­tion of 50 calibre machine guns. The 50 calibre aircraft machine gun was adjudged by General Hap Arnold, for­mer Chief of Air Forces, to be the most outstanding weapon possessed by our allies, or the enemy, in World War II.

Col. Green has taken out 56 patents on automatic weapons and other ord­nance items, for which the U. S. Gov­ernment has a royalty free license. He retired on February 16, 1950, but will carry on as senior ordance engineer in the office of Chief of Ordnance.

Robert L. Adams, E.E., '39, was one of six employees of The Teleregister Corporation, New York City, who shared in the Collier Trophy Award for 1948 presented to the Radio Tech­nical Commission for Aeronautics by President Truman. Mr. Adams received a 10" x 13" engrossed citation "in sin­cere appreciation of his conscientious and effective collaboration in the work of RTCA Special Committee 31 which created the guide plan for the develop­ment and implementation of a system of air navigation and traffic control to facilitate safe and ultimate aircraft operations under all weather con­ditions."

The report and recommendations of the RTCA Special Committee 31 was accepted by the Air Co-ordinating Com­mittee, the President's Air Policy Com­mission and the Congressional Aviation Policy Board. It became the official mas­ter plan to make the operation of mili­tary, commercial and private planes de­pendable under all weather conditions. It will give America the most secure air defense it has ever had and will give air travellers on-time dependability never before possible.

14 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

ALUMNI APPOINTED TO ATHLETIC BOARD

President Blake R. Van Leer, Chair­man of the Board of Directors, Ga. Tech Athletic Association, has ap­pointed John O. Chiles, '23, to the Board as one of the three alumni mem­bers succeeding L. W. (Chip) Robert, '08, whose three year term expires on June 30, 1950. Mr. Robert was named as honorary member for an unspecified term of years, on the Athletic Board.

Both Mr. Chiles and Mr. Robert need no introduction to Tech alumni and other friends of the college throughout the nation. They are nationally promi­nent business and civic leaders, and they have very materially and loyally aided Georgia Tech from the time they were students to the present day.

President Van Leer, Georgia Tech, the Athletic Association and all others concerned are to be congratulated on the appointments.

Students Win High Ceramic Honors

FORMER DEAN FEATURED IN "SATURDAY EVENING POST"

Dr. Robert Sarbacher, former Dean of the Georgia Tech Graduate School, was featured as "an unaverage cross between Beau Brummell and Albert Einstein" in a recent issue of the Satur­day Evening Post.

Dr. Sarbacher, now Founder, Presi­dent and Director of Research for the National Scientific L a b o r a t o r i e s of Washington, D. C , was lauded princi­pally for his work as an eminent elec­tronic scientist and nuclear physicist who has handled intricate research for the Army.

But, in an article entitled "Look Out — Here Comes a Genius!," Author Sid­ney Shalett also paid tribute to Dr. Sarbacher's "sharp" attire, conversa­tional prowess and agility on the dance floor.

"Sarbacher's capacity for enjoying himself," says Shalett, "is outstripped by an even greater capacity for hard work and intensive concentration."

President Blake R. Van Leer, of Georgia Tech, stated that Sarbacher was "a genius with an unlimited ca­pacity for hard work." Van Leer added that Tech was still benefiting from ideas imparted by Sarbacher during his three years at the college.

Dr. Sarbacher called his postwar ac­ceptance of the deanship at Georgia Tech "a rounding out of my academic experience." During his stay, he repre­sented Tech on the Governing Board of the Institute of Nuclear Studies at Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Jesse D. Walton, Jr., ceramic senior, wins top American Society Award. Two other Ga. Tech students win honorable mentions from the Ceramic Society. Shown left to right are: Dr. Lane Mitchell, director of the School of Ceramic Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology; Mr. G. H. Mclntyre, Ferro Enamel Corporation, judge the American Ceramic Society's student awards contest; Jesse D. Walton, ceramic senior from Georgia Tech, winner of the top student award, the Ferro Enamel Corp­oration prize of $500; and William M. Brusse, Jr., and Manville May field, Jr., both students of ceramic engineering at Georgia Tech, who won honorable mention prizes.

The top student award of the Ameri­can Ceramic Society, The Ferro Enamel Corporation prize of $500, was won by Jesse D. Walton, Jr., a senior ceramic engineering student from Georgia Tech, it was announced on April 25, by Presi­dent H. M. Kraner, at the annual meet­ing of the society in New York City.

Walton, a married veteran from At­lanta, Ga., and now living at the Geor­gia Tech Lawson Apartments, Cham-blee, Ga., received the award for his research work on porcelain enamels.

In addition, two other Georgia Tech ceramic engineering students won hon­orable mention awards. They are Man­

ville J. Mayfield, 686 Sherwood Rd., N. E., Atlanta, Ga., and William Brusse, Jr., another veteran living at 656 York­shire Rd., N. E., Atlanta.

There were more than two dozen entries from 12 colleges for the ten awards in this nation-wide contest. According to Dr. Lane Mitchell, direc­tor of the Georgia Tech School of C e r a m i c Engineering, who accom­panied the students to New York, the three awards won by the Atlanta school indicates the increasing recog­nition being given to research and ceramic engineering in the South by the ceramic industry.

CONTRIBUTORS TO THE 1949-1950 ROLL CALL The end of our Third Roll Call year

is almost upon us. May 31 marks the closing date for contributions to the Roll Call appeal for this year. Through May 4, results have been a little off from the comparative period last year. Through this date, 1,611 individuals have given a total of $24,469.13.

This money is very important to Tech. It allows the slack to be taken up in crucial spots where the State has been obliged to cut appropriations; it makes it possible for Tech to remain a member of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Physics; it provides fellow­ships and scholarships; it fills many

other needs that can be taken care of in no other way.

By contributing to this Roll Call plan, each man listed below has shown his interest and his desire to partici­pate in keeping Tech the great school that it is. Is your name listed here?

S P R I N G S P O R T S BASEBALL

Closing out a long season with 2 wins over a fine Georgia team, Joe Pittard's diamond aggregation has racked up a record of 7 wins and 9 losses. Capt. Red Schoening, senior first baseman, who is hitting .465 to lead the Jackets in this department, has been a standout in all games to date. Jim Fritch, junior out­fielder from Jasper, Indiana, is pound­ing the horsehide at .350 and several of the gridiron famed Jackets are doing their bit for the Tech nine also; Bob McCoy, Bob Bossons, Buster Hum­phreys and Bobby North being a few of these.

B u d d y T h o m p s o n , j u n i o r 170-pounder, is the leading hurler for a record win of 6 wins in 9 starts. Her­bert Bradshaw, ex-Legion star from Waycross, Ga., has won one and lost one.

SPRING FOOTBALL GAME By BOB KIMZEY

The Technique

All kinds of passes, including the screen and the around-the-back variety, filled the warm night air at Grant Field Friday evening. The 1950 version of the Golden Tornado was displaying its 1950 version of football trickery. A pass throwing Blue team defeated an even healthier heaving White shirted crew, 20-7.

Coach Dodd was pleased with what he saw, and 7,500 fans went away re­assured that Georgia Tech had a team above the average ready for next sea­son's eleven-game bill.

The back-handed exhibition of Robby Robinson was the fans' first look at this sleight-of-hand passing technique that has been dimly rumored from the prac­tice fields during the five weeks of spring practice.

The first of Robinson's attempts was intercepted, but the second was com­pleted to Harry Wright on a play that carried 37 yards.

The Blue team scored first late in the first quarter on a pass from Darrell Crawford to End Pete Ferris, and mid­way in the second period Crawford pushed over from the one yard line to make it 13-0. In the last minute before the half the White team made their

lone tally on a beautiful catch of Jimmy Brown's pass by Dick Harvin. Red Patton carried the ball over for the Blues on the fourth play of the final period.

In the White backfield most of the potential passers, Joe Salome, Brown, and Robinson, were grouped and two top-notch receivers, End Harvin and Wright, were provided. The Blue team got the running power of Patton and Roy Thompson and the experienced generalship of Quarterback Crawford. Pete Ferris, a good end, was Crawford's aerial target.

The White team kicked off to start the play, and the Blues rolled to two first downs before they were forced to kick. The Whites immediately un­corked their passing attack, but a fum­ble by Ross stopped them.

The ball changed hands twice more in quick succession on fumbles before the Blue team ended up with it. Pat­ton quick-kicked to the White eighteen and Pete Brown then intercepted a Salome pass to set up the Blue score. A pass from Crawford to Ferris covered the remaining 18 yards and Patton kicked the extra point.

Then began an exchange of punts that lasted into the second period when Clyde Young intercepted another pass by Salome and dashed to the White 19. Patterson, Grant and Templeton ran

to the one-yard line where Crawford took over for the score. Templeton missed the kick and it was 13-0 Blue.

But the Whites were not to be denied. They threw the Blue runners for three straight losses, and a punt by Ed Bas-kin that bounced the wrong way gave them the ball, 34 yards away from the double stripe with one minute to go in the half.

On the next play Brown tossed to Harvin, who made a spectacular catch in the end zone with three men on his back. Robinson converted.

Near the end of that period Robin­son's back-handed pass was intercepted by Gene Frizzell on the White 41, and the Blue team began their final touch­down romp. Thompson and Temple­ton each added a first down and, after swapping ends of the field for the final period, Crawford completed to George Gilbreath on the seven. Patton carried over in two tries and kicked goal.

The Whites threatened shortly after­wards when Wright took a short screen pass on his own 35 and scampered to the Blue 21 before Patton knocked him out of bounds. Here again Salome failed to hit Harvin and the ball went over on downs.

Later the W h i t e t e a m got close enough for R o b i n s o n , Salome and Brown to rain passes into the Blue end zone but to no avail.

Johnny Stowers, Tech Dash Stalwart

T R A C K

Georgia Tech's Southeastern Confer­ence track champions have had rough going so far this season because of the loss of several key men from last year. After showing up very nicely in the Florida relays in late March, Tech has won 2 and lost 4 of the dual meets, finishing 7th in the SEC meet in Bir­

mingham. Johnny Stowers, senior dash man, has been the standout this year, consistently winning points in the 100, 220 and 440. Johnny has run a 48.2 in the quarter and 21.2 in the 220.

Other men who have contributed winning points in meets to date are J im Shivers in the 220 yd. low hurdles; Bobo Glover in the mile; Sam Cooper in the 2-mile; Coons in the hurdles; Baskin in the javelin; Lupton in the shot-put, and Knox in the high jump and shot.

Tech's r e l a y t e a m of Patterson, Ward, Renshaw and Stowers has done extremely well in meets to date.

28 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

NE W machines, new methods and advancements in equipment engineering help industry in­

crease production and lower costs. Here are new developments, recent installations by Allis-Chalmers for the crushing, cement and mining industries — electric power — food processing. They illustrate the breadth of this company's service to all industry. There are few products for American good living that are not processed at some point with the aid of machinery built by Allis-Chalmers.

LARGER CAPACITIES, BETTER CONTROL That's what the ore and rock products industries wanted — and that's what Allis-Chalmers now gives them in the new series of Hydrocone fine reduction crushers. Pushbutton con­trol of product size and automatic reset are among the fea­tures. Sizes up to 84" diameter cone and 17" feed.

HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION Allis-Chalmers built these un­usual 220,000 volt transform­ers for a big West Coast utility. They feature load ratio control on the low voltage (72,000 volt) winding — and corona-free insulation offering excep­tional resistance to severe im­pulse voltages.

FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD This new continuous solvent extraction plant daily recovers iVi tons of palatable, salable oil from rice bran. It was en­gineered and equipped by Allis-Chalmers for the American Rice Growers Co-operative Association of Houston, Texas. Its owners expect it to pay for itself in a few years.
