Big Georgia Tech Surge
AIexonder's Fine Work
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Corresrondent Of The star.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 (N.AN.A0. 4.
Georgia Tech goes to the Orange
Bowl on New Year Day to play
Missouri-and to mark another
point in the comeback of Bill Alex
ander, the Tech coach.
For years Bills teams dominated
the South. mopping up all over that
sector and holding place among
the top teams Of the country. That
was when Notre Dame first began
to go South to play Tech. Notre
Dame generally won. but Tech al
ways put up a terrific battle be-
cause Tech always had WELL
coached teams. In those days, too,
the Tech Alabama game was the
hottest thing in Dixie.
Then a blight fell on the Tech
teams. Once more 1t was demon
strated that a coach. no matter how
good he is, must have material. Bill
Alexander was as good as a coach
in the depression years at Tech as
he was before-or is now. But he
didn't have the players and he
couldn't win and, In a major foot
ball sense, Tech faded,

Techs Comeback Is Ropid
After Stort Lost Year

A couple OF years ago the ma
terial began to pick up agair-and
Bill Alexander started to go places
once more. Slowly, at first. But
steadily.
This year Georgia Tech was un-
beaten within the Southeastern Con-
ference-and Bill Alexander, tagged
q long time ago by Knute Rockne
as one of the great coaches of the
country, is back where he belongs.
According to Elmer Layden. In
deed, he is the No. l coach of the
year, topping DR.. Eddie Anderson
and Carl Snavely.
They've picked a fine opponent
for Tech at Miami. I saw Missouri
play N. Y. u, and in speed, power
and smoothness the Tigers rank
with the best teams in the country.
A week before the N. Y. U. game
I talked with Stu Scott. who had
secuted the Tigers for Nal Stevens.
He was excited about Paul Christ

ningham, Starmer, Wetzel and the

Ploy Is Gets Results,
Though Unlisted

1t was Of a game in one OF those
years that Bill tells his famous story
of play IS. Tech was getting an
unusually bad beating. physically as
well as in the matter Of touchdowns,
and by the time it reached the
fourth quarter, Bill had used up
about all his reserves. Tech had
the ball deep in its own territory
and couldn't get anywhere and Bill
sent in his fourth string quarter
back with instructions to call play
rs.
AS a matter of fact, there was no
such play in Techs repertoire. but
the kid was afraid to say anything,
fearing there was such a play and
he-supposed to know all the plays
just didn't know it. When he called
the play the other kids. not knowing
1t but figuring that, since he had
been sent in to call it, they should
know it. kept their mouths shut
and Just did the best they could
with an astonishing result:
One kid took the ball, all the
others blocked for him-and he
went IS yards for a touchdown.
Telling the story later Bill said:
II wish I could remember what
everybody did on that play. 1t was
the best play we had all year"

CHAPTER VIII

Norwood could almost physically
feel those diamonds In his tunic
pocket. He should have asked
Lynn not to mention them. He knew
that. It was too late to turn back.
And besides, she was having a row
with her aunt and it wouldn't be
cricket to butt In. He wished he
hadn't seen Lynn kiss Rundhia.
There were two things that Norwood
ached to do that minute One was
to punch Rundhia. The other was
to go to the temple and throw those
diamonds at the high priest.
But that was just the kind of
thing that Norwood could be trusted
not to do. He knew exactly what he
should do. But the Maharajah and
his court were waiting to give him
official audience. He glanced at his
watch. There remained only five
minutes In which to reach the pal
ace In time for the appointment, so
he mounted his horse at the gate
and rode up the long drive to the
front door, where he arrived exactly
on the minute. The sails wiped the
dust from his boots and he strobe up
the palace steps, expecting to get
away within fifteen minutes. But

dimensions.

The Maharanee spoke to Rundhia,
in his own language, vehemently,
for about minute. She was at no
loss for words. She let him have it
with the governed directed anger
that cuts like whip. Then, in Eng
lish, for Lynn's benefit:

no more than one of your usual

Rundhia strobe from the room.

Well forgive you anything but
drabness in your interior decora-
tons these days. By that we don't
mean the smartly subtle monotones
that are vying with the brilliant col
ors for fashion importance. But the
poised monotone room isn't the
same thing at all as the drab room.
To get an effect with the Elusive
dusty tones so popular these days,
you match your colors with the
greatest of care and work toward
glowing but muted effects. Whereas
a drab room is usually matter of
a lot of muddy colors all thrown IN
together, willy nilly, because ''they
won't show dirt"
If you have deep taupe to con-
tend with, for instance, use if with
light shades of the same color, then
add for accent a brilliant high col
or. Or If it's the pale dusty tones
that are on your mind, use grada-
tons of the same color. COM

Prior to that, Jimmy Dykes had
agreed to a new two-year contract
with the Chicago White Sox and
Fred Haney was given vote of
confidence by the st. Louis Browns.
Mccarthy and the Yanks are one
and the same. Connie Mack will be
in Philadelphia for as long as he
wants. Joe Cronin of the Boston
Red Sox is safer than government
bond. Which, in the American
league, leaves Bucky Harris of the
Washington Senators as sort of an
unknown quantity. Observers are
looking for his retention. After all,
he didn't have another Zeke Bonura
to bat in more than 100 runs.

In the National league things are
much the same. Bill McKechnie is
already under long-term contract
to the Cincinnati Reds. Memphis
Bill" Terry and the New York
Giants are closer together than
Siamese twins. When the st. Louis
Cards climbed to second place they
assured Ray Blades of another term.
Doc Prothro has made more than
a satisfactory start at Philadelphia.
Casey Stengel will probably stick
around the Boston Bees and play

and players alike, is nevertheless

Ign Dodgers.

as manager as an answer to what
ne considered unfair criticism of
Witt by fans and even players.
Bradley announced that he is more
