ALEXANDER Director of Athletics and Head Football Coach After serving as head coach of Georgia Tech football teams for twenty-five seasons, Coach Alexander turned over the reigns of the team to Bobby Dodd at the close of the 1944 season. From now on Coach Alex will spend all of his time at the job of Head of the Athletic Department, which in- cludes the newly formed physical education branch. Although his last team on the gridiron was not as suc- cessful as some of those in the past, praise was heaped upon Alexander from every part of the nation when the sport lost one of its most colorful and popular figures. From now on the football team of Tech will miss Alex- ander, but he will continue exerting all of his genius and efforts toward making a better Tech. BOBBY DODD Former Backfield Coach and New Head Coach Acclaimed for many years for his work in developing the Georgia Tech backfield, Bobby Dodd will start the 1945 season as the director of the Jacket squad. The job is not altogether new to Dodd as he has been called upon at different times during the past seasons to coach the team when Coach Alex was confined to his bed because of illness.

Civilians were all but non-existant on the team which was composed mostly of Navy ROTC and V-12 transfer students. The Army did not permit its ASTP students to participate in inter-collegiate athletic events. The transfer students had all missed spring practice, further complicat- ing matters, and had to adjust themselves to a new method—the Tech method—of playing the game. Members of the 1942 Cotton Bowl team were missing, most of them going into active duty when the Enlisted Reserve Corps and the Army Air Corps Reserve were called Out in the Spring of 1942.
