ATLANTA, Dec. 4-Therell be
more football in '44-and you can
take that from the "old man" of
Georgia Tech, Coach w. A. Alex
ander.
The veteran athletic director,
whose YelloWj jackets play Tulsa in
the Sugar Bowl New Year Day, be-.
lieyes many Southern schools will
resume football competition next
season. Moreover, he says, compe-
tition will be keener, and teams
will be more evenly matched.
All of US will be playing boys
just out Of high school next sea-
son." he told the Atlanta Touch
down Club, even though some of
us will have Navy units and others
will not. All the veterans will have
graduated before next season opens,
and will have gone to join the fleet,
But from spectator standpoint
football will be Just as good and
Just as interesting as it always
has been"
Alexander praised Georgia and
Louisiana State, which continued
to play regulation schedules with
l7-year-olds and AIS.
They have made an invest ment
that will pay them dividends after
this war is over. for they are sure
to get some fine players back who
otherwise would never have gone
to the school had there" been no
football" Alex said.

Kellett explains, land as a result a

capable substitutes to rest the few
players of college caliber he may
have on the squad.
Basket ball has been speeded up
so much in recent years that few
players can stand the gruelling pace

were amended so that player could
be substituted as often as necessary
basket ball in these wartimes would

had only week or two of practice,

Tech Likely to Surprise.
Tech, defending both the high
school and metropolitan champion
ships, has only one regular, Jim
Kranking. back from last years title
quint, but along with him are two
boys who played frequently during
the l943 campaign, Jack Bay and
Tom Tulenko. The Maroons may
come up with surprise package,
however, in the 6-foot 8-inch Walter
'Swede) Olson. who has demon
strated a good bit of court ability in
practice sessions.
Aside from this towering player
the MarOons as usual are small and
fast, carrying out the Mighty
Midgets" motif of recent seasons.
Eastern will have more of an ex-
perienced group of players than
most and Coach Woody Smither-
man, starting his first year with
the Rambler cagers, will be able to
put team of 6-footers or better
on the floor Tall Sam Dellinger
and the small, wiry Mike Pappa-
fotiS are his regular holdovers, while
also with the squad are Ellis Voro-
hey. Ray Asbury and Bob Lamcn,
particularly good shot, who were
subs last year Rip Riley and Eddie
Charnock. both 6-footers, are up
from last years junior quint.

baum. both footballers. Bassin still
is suffering with bad shoulder re-
ceived from the grid game and may

Once in action, however. he figures
to be among the city's best.
Herbie Palmer from last years
sub list and Don Streeter and Lou
Weinstein, members of the l943
junior SQUAD, are others who may
win regular berths on the Coolidge
five.
Stu Brown, Bill Tanney and Russ
Keith may form the nucleus of
Coach Tony Kupka's team at Will
son, but as all were football play
ers and Just finished their playing
last Tuesday, Kupka hasn't had
rluch time to work with them. Their
court ability was tested last year,
however, and all won letters. Bill
Faycock, another footballer who
was a sub last season, also is a
candidate for a starting role this
season.
