Robert E. Lee Dodd Of Georgia Tech Coach of The Week
BY LEO H. PETERSEN Limited Press Sports EditOrl

New York, Nov. ls-(UP)-He's only an assistant coach but he's paying big dividends on the three salary increases it took to keep him at Georgia Tech.
 His name is Robert E. Lee Dodd and because he has guided the Ramblin' Wreck through two vital games with victories he wins the United Press Coach of the Week award.
 Dodd became acting head coach two weeks ago when Bill Alexander was ordered to a hospital by the doctors for a rest.
 Alexander's tall and slender as- sistant, probably the greatest field general that Tennessee ever had, took the team over before the Ken- lucky game and guided Tech to 8 47 to victory over a club which Georgia barely had been able to nose out, 2 to 6.
 Last Saturday he sent the Engi- neers against Alabama, one of the toughest teams in the country, and again his boys came through, this time ' to 0.
 From Tennessee
 Dodd went to Tech II years ago from Tennessee where he starred in every sport in college. AS the quarterback, even his own coach or players never knew just what he would do. He made up plays as the game went along and very few of them failed to click,
 AS Col. Bob Neyland, his coach at the time said
 "Dodd would run the plays he made up in the huddle and then look toward the Tennessee bench and laugh"
 Perhaps the best bit of strategy he devised was in game against Alabama in 1929. Alabama, in the final minutes of play, had marched down to the Tennessee six-inch line where the Vols held and took over on downs.
 Instead of kicking or running, Dodd passed out of bounds and Tennessee was penalized half the distance to the goal line. He did the same thing on the next play, moving the ball back to the Vols one and one-half inch line. Then he punted 45 yards and the Ala bama team had time for only two plays before the game ended.
 Whilr enc of the toughest task masters in the business. Dodd stands up under pressure easily. His only reference to worry was just before the Alabama game when he said:
 I'm going out to see the old man (Alexander) tonight and ask him to move over. This coaching busi- ness has got me down"
 Dodd is known as ''the luckiest man in Atlanta" He will do any, thing in the line of sports and usually win at it. On trip he is the life of the party. mingles with the boys all the time. plays all kinds of games with them - and wins.
 Wanted
 A native of Kingsport. Tenn, Dodd has taken over coaching bas- ketball and baseball since going to Tech as backfield mentor ir 1881. Since that time he has had offers from three big southern schools to take over as head coach, but Alex ander raised his pay each time in order to keep him at Tech.
 Dodd is 37, and the father of two children, boy and a girl.
 One of Techs best backfield men is named Bobby Dodd, but he is no relation to the coach.
 Dodd, according to Alexander. will remain in charge of the team for the rest of the season. The

Gigs For Soldiers,
 Sailors, Marines From Rockingham

Salem, N. H., Nov. 18.-Lou Smith of Rockingham R Park, the first man of Ncv England racing, today blazed a ne. and glorious trail for other sports promoters everywhere to fol- low.
 He ordered 100000 cigarettes from the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com pany in Winston Salem, North Car olina, to be sent to American sol- diers and sailors and marines now overseas. The cigarettes-5000 packs of them-will be distributed as New Years gifts and officials of the con- pany state that this is the first time such a gift-order has been received
 There was a fire here last Friday the 18th, which destroyed barn and caused damage estimated al $10,000. There was freeze here last Saturday, which necessitated the cancellation of the rich Saturday program and cost Lou Smith and his associates an estimated $30, coo But on Monday, the little race track with the big heart started six days of racing during which all profits will be turned over to New Hamp- shire charities. And on Monday, to set the tone for the week MT. Smith purchased 100000 cigarettes which will cross the stormy oceans and find their way into the fingers of men who are fighting for all the stay-at-homes.
 Big Idea
 The initial gift on the say-so of Lou Smith himself, is not much. but it can be rolled into tremendous donation of free cigarettes if the other racing folks. if the baseball people, and if the college football people, for example, seize upon the idea and exploit it to its limit.
 It was Lou Smith who first an- nounced the plan under which the turf has contributed more than two and a half million dollars to war re- lief. It was he who staged the first double-header in the history of the American turf. to raise $70.000 for the relief funds. Now he leads the charge in another direction. with his New Year gift of cigarettes, ard it must be that he is racing's am- bassador of good will.

Wright, Able Money" Fighter, And Champ, Is 1-2 Underdog

New York, Nov. !o.-Chalky Wright, New York boxing men will tell you, is the best money-fighter In action today. A money-fighter Is one who is always at his best when the stakes are high, who turns sn a mediocre performance now and then but never when the chips are siown.
 There have been many such down through the years, boxers who in the period when they were at their peak, often fought way below par when the contest carried little significance, but who could be count ed on to display all their fistic tal- ents when the occasion demanded their best.
 4 few who come to mind, Stan- ley Ketchell, Abe Attell, Johnny Kil- bane, Johnny Dundee, Pete Herman. Sam Langford, Kid Chocolate, Bat Battalino, Tony Canzoneri, Jimmy McLarnin, Lou Ambers, Maxie Ros- enbloon, Benny Leonard, Billy Pe- Erolle.
 On Friday night at Madison Square Garden Chalky Wright de- lends his world featherweight title against Willie Pep. amazing little contender from Hartford, Conn. who has piled up the utterly as- tonishing total of 53 consecutive victories.
 Pep Liked
 Many experts and perhaps majority of the fans like Pep's chances at to 1 odds. they think Pep's youth. speed, stamina. punch ing power. and the sheer momentum of his winning streak will bring him c triumph over the champion.
 But consider: Chalky Wright won aS fights in a row during the first six months Of i94i and in his 18th fight won the title by knocking out Joey Archibald. Tn his next several contests Wright wasn't right. He was Way below form. But then, in June Of this year. he risked his laurels against Harry Jeffra. This time Wright vas very much himself and Ak4@b@Ate8 oCAAte AA pNh sOhASAtss
 Again after that Wright seemed to lose interest and dropped de- clsions here and there. But then came q title defense against Lulu Costantino at the Garden last Sept. z5. And again Chalky rose to the occasion. flashing superlative form to retain his title handiIy. It is a safe bet Chalky Wright will exhibit his most brilliant form when he faces Willie Pep on Friday night.

WAR LEADERS IN
 AUSTRALIA PRAISED

SYDNEY, Australia - Austra- lian Army Minister Forde an. nounced that he plans to vis< the New Guinea war theater soon.
 Forde lashed out in Parliament against the critics of the military leadership in the handling of the New Guineau situation. Said the Army minister:
 We are proud of our military leaders. We will not be fooled into things which can be laid more properly at the door of previous administrations than at the door of Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur and other leaders. We are proud to have Gen. Macarthur as Commander-in-Chief and Gen eral Blamey as Commander of the Land Forces"
 Forde declared that General MacArthur was one of the great est men who ever donned a uni form. The Army Minister said all the criticism of the Army came from armchair strategists who read colored reports on the news stands.

 ] IN CALIFORNIA

San Francisco - Q n c e upon a time it took Charles Brewer 43 days by dog team to span the miles be- tween Barrow and Fair banks. Recently it took him just five days to come from Barrow to San Fran cisco by plane.
 This, he guesses, is civil ization, but he's not sure. He left San Francisco in 1880 to get away from civ ilization. He is back in town after spending 58 years at Barrow.
 Someone asked him what he thought about get ting the Japs out of the Aleutians.
 I've had a bad enough time getting out of Alaska without doing any talking that will make it impos- sible for me 0 get back" he answered.
