Tech’s win at third-ranked Miami when Daniels was injured and had 84 yards and a . He is backed up by junior Rashaun Grant, who was hampered by injuries last fall but gained 425 yards as a freshman. Grant has worked to improve his size and strength and showed positive results in the spring. “We have two good players at tailback,” said Gailey. “I feel very good about and what he showed last year, and then I think Rashaun Grant is about to have another very good year. “ Another option could be freshman Jamaal Evans, a member of Tech’s 2006 re- cruiting class who enrolled last January and participated in spring practice.

The 6-6, 290-pounder is an excellent athlete who is still growing. “I think Andrew will have another big jump from year two to year three.,” said Gailey. “He’s got an awful lot of talent, and we hope he can continue to add strength and size and push that 295-300 pound mark, which is where he needs to be.” Also returning are junior guards Matt Rhodes, 6-3, 280, and Nate McManus, 6-3, 300, and junior center Kevin Tuminello, 6-4, 285.

A two-year starter, Hall led Tech last sea- son with 14 tackles for loss, along with 64 tackles and two interceptions. Starting for the first time last fall, Wheeler was tied for fourth in the ACC with four interceptions, along with 11.5 tackles for loss. “Philip Wheeler has a great deal of potential,” said Gailey. “He started to realize a little bit of that last year, and now he’s got to make the next step. But he certainly has a ton of talent, with great range and great speed. If he can become a bigger, stronger , I think he’ll be a force the next two years.” Junior Gary Guyton, Tech’s top backup last season, steps into the starting lineup as the third linebacker.

RETIRED JERSEY #19 Clint Castleberry, RB Lettered 1942, Killed in World War II The only retired jersey in Georgia Tech's storied football history is the No. 19 worn by running back Clint Castleberry in 1942. Though just a freshman, he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting as he led Tech to a 9-2 record, highlighted by historic victories at Notre Dame and Navy and capped by a berth in the Cotton Bowl. Just weeks later, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, and on Nov. 7, 1944, his plane disappeared off the west coast of Africa. For one fleeting season in 1942, Clint Castleberry blazed across the football field like a ‘crazed jackrabbit.’ Some said he could have been the greatest Tech player in history, if it weren’t for World War II and a plane that disappeared off the West African coast without a trace. He flashed across the fields at Notre Dame and Navy that fall of ’42, JOE HAMILTON, the consensus first-team all-America quarterback in 1999, leading Georgia Tech’s shocking onslaughts, while Sir Bernard Montgom- signs autographs at the Heisman Trophy ceremony.

Yes, John W. Heisman was as complex as he was brilliant, alternately rigid and innovative. And he was the unquestioned father of football’s Holy Trinity at Georgia Tech: Heisman, Alexander and Dodd. • by Jack Wilkinson, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ohn Heisman was a disciplinarian who loathed profanity and fumbling, and loved conformity on the field. Yet he was also an aspiring actor who spent several summers working in summer Jstock. And while he made his players take cold showers after practice–hot water was reserved for game days–Heisman also helped usher football, if not indoor plumbing, into the modern era. A legendary football coach, John W. Heisman coached at eight colleges but forged much of his legend on The Flats. He was head coach at Tech from 1904-19 and no one, not William Alexander, not even Bobby Dodd, has ever approached Heisman’s success. The Jackets were 102-29-7 under him. Tech won the first of its four national championships in 1917. If Heisman wasn’t the most modest of men, he also had ample reason to be proud. Heisman’s father was a German immigrant and son of a man named Baron von Bogart. The Baron disapproved when his son married a peasant girl from Alsace- Lorraine and disinherited him. In turn, the son took his wife’s name “Heisman” and moved to America. Well, to Cleveland. And Johann Wilhelm Heisman was born there on October 23, 1869.

Later Heisman, whose name lives on the trophy presented annually to the outstanding player in college football, added Alex to his coaching staff. In 1917, when Heisman produced an undefeated Tech team, Alex was in World War I, serving in France as a young officer instructing troops in the mathematics of field artillery. In 1920, after his return to Atlanta and after Heisman decided to become coach of his alma mater, University of Pennsylvania, Alex was named the Georgia Tech head coach. A tough, clever taskmaster, with his teams to match his character, Bill Alexander knew glorious years on The Flats. It was not until his fifth season as head coach, in 1924 that one of his teams lost to a Southern opponent, to Alabama, coached by Wallace Wade. Alex was the first coach whose teams appeared in all four of the major bowls: the Rose in 1929, Orange in 1940, Cotton in 1943 and Sugar in 1944. It was Notre Dame’s Knute Rockne who said: “Bill Alexander gets more out of less than any coach in America.” Notre Dame and Georgia Tech played each other from 1922 through 1929. When the series was scheduled, Alex said, “They will beat us about nine times out of ten, but in losing we will learn a lot of football. We will gain a lot of prestige nationally. And when we win, it will be a mighty sweet victory.” Tech won only in 1928, 13-0. Alex’s overall record as a head coach, from 1920 through 1945, was 134-95-15. It was during his dismal seasons, such as 1931 when Tech lost to Vanderbilt, 49-7, that people, especially newspapermen, came to know the real Bill Alexander. He was genuine. Tech Tradition

Dodd, as a crafty All-American quarterback at Tennessee, had been in by Furman Bisher, great demand as a coach once his eligibility had played out. Bob Neyland Atlanta Journal- had expected him to move onto his staff at Knoxville, and the renowned Wallace Wade, then breaking in at Duke, had made overtures. But it was Constitution Bill Alexander who won him, through the solicitous services of Chip Robert, extolled as a scatback at Tech in the early 1900s, and who had generated great wealth in the architectural world. It was said that General Neyland never forgave Dodd for turning him down, and when Dodd’s third Georgia Tech team thoroughly trounced the Vols in 1947, the abyss was deepened. But so much for old wounds. On to the grandeur of the Days of Dodd at Georgia Tech, the stuff of which fables are woven. To try to compress in a few pages the glorious times of Dodd as football coach at Georgia Tech is likened to the Biblical parable of passing a camel through the eye of a needle. So I can only tell it as I saw it, lived it and have reminisced it. Dramatic events took place in the lives of both of us in 1950. I moved from Charlotte to join the Atlanta newspapers. I arrived in town one weekend, Bill Alexander died the next week- end, so I never knew the man. Dodd ascended to the athletics directorship and he was launched on a glorious run that ended with his withdrawal from coaching in February 1967. Robert Lee Dodd brought a different style to coaching, an emphasis on craftsmanship, finesse, well rehearsed execution and sideline genius. Many a time have I heard it said, “Bobby Dodd was the best sideline coach I ever saw.” He didn’t believe in leaving your game on the practice field, so Dodd teams enjoyed their weekday afternoons. While some coaches left their teams bruised and battered with the idea that they were making them tough for Saturday’s game, Dodd left his men on the edge of condition, hungering for some contact. He wasn’t always that easy, but it was more the rule than the exception. He also de-emphasized his own role in coaching. His assistants Tech Tradition coached, he supervised, kept track of drills and entertained his guests from unorthodox style, a swing like somebody the press, usually aloft on his tower, the first of those things I ever saw.

It seemed that Georgia “Keeps them off the street,” Dodd said. “You know where they are at might never beat Georgia Tech again. But then it seemed there would be a night.” Dodd at Georgia Tech forever. Nobody could imagine it otherwise, but time At one time, golf was Dodd’s main avocation, fancied himself as quite and its wretched allies take care of such fantasies. A street has been a player, and especially a putter.

With 10:25 left in the game, Ivery scored on a 57-yard run, giving him 309 yards. Besides giving Tech a 35-21 lead against a team that obviously was not going to surrender without a fight, it put Ivery within 41 yards of the NCAA single game record of 350 yards set by Michigan State’s Eric Allen against Purdue in 1971. At that point, Tech sports information director Jim Schultz passed the word to assistant coaches Dave Fagg and Al Lavan in the scouting box, who in turn relayed the message to head coach Pepper Rodgers. “I told him I didn’t care how many yards Ivery had,” Rodgers said later. “I was worried about the score.” At that time, Tech was having difficulty containing Air Force quarterback Dave Ziebart, who was completing 11 passes to split end Cormac Carney for 204 yards and two touchdowns. When an Air Force drive fizzled at Tech’s eight-yard line on an incomplete pass, Rodgers told the team he’d let Ivery run the ball until he got the record. Ivery crashed over right tackle for 13 yards, leaving him just 28 yards short of the record. A run around right end gained another 13. Only 15 to go. Adding to the drama, Ivery’s stomach began to churn again at that point, to the extent he had to leave the game. Tech Tradition Wrong Way Riegels THE 1929 ROSE BOWL The most stunning single play in the history of the Rose Bowl propelled Georgia Tech to its first bowl victory when Roy Riegels’ infamous Wrong Way Run turned out right as the Rambling Wreck beat California, 8-7, in the 1929 Rose Bowl.

arly in the second quarter, with the score tied 0-0, Tech halfback Stumpy Thomason was hit by the Golden Bears’ EBenny Lom. He fumbled around the Tech 35-yard line, and Riegels scooped up the bouncing ball. For Riegels, a center and captain of his Golden Bear team, fate had sent him running free and clear. He got a good block from a teammate, slipped off a tackler and spun around. But something was wrong. “Stop, Roy! You’re running the wrong way,” yelled teammate Bennie Lom. Riegels heard, but did not understand. He thought the speedier Lom was asking for a lateral. “Get away from me,” he said. “This is my touchdown.” At the 10-yard line, Lom grabbed Riegels, but Riegels shook him loose. Finally, at the one-yard line, Lom pulled Riegels down amid a wave of Tech players, but not before Riegels had gone 64 yards into immortality. California still had the ball. On the first play, the Golden Bears attempted to punt the ball out of the end zone with Riegels snapping to Lom. However, the left side of the California line collapsed and Tech’s Vance Maree blocked the punt, which rolled out of bounds for a safety. Those two points turned out to be the winning points as both teams traded touchdowns in the second half, and the Rambling Wreck eventually prevailed, 8-7, in one of the strangest games ever played. At the time, the impact of Riegels’ Wrong Way Run had not yet taken shape. All he said was, “Now why did I do something like that?” Of course, the play attracted national attention. It was said that 450,000 column inches of newspaper space were written on Riegels’ gaff. He received mountains of mail with sympathetic letters, offers of marriage and money, editorials in the papers and sermons from the pulpit. Riegels got over his fluke play, but he was never allowed to forget it. He again served as captain of the California team as a senior and even made a few all-America teams. Tech’s Rose Bowl win capped a perfect 10-0 season, the first undefeated season for head coach William Alexander, and the Rambling Wreck captured its second national title. And though the Yellow Jackets have won many more bowl games since then, none were as unusual as the first. Tech Tradition GEORGIA TECH 222, CUMBERLAND 0

he previous spring, Cumberland’s baseball team had trounced Tech, 22-0. Cumberland University was located in TLebanon, Tenn., and the Cumberland squad was actually comprised of professional players from nearby Nashville. Georgia Tech head coach John Heisman was not amused, and the Tech students and alumni howled for revenge, so Heisman offered the Bulldogs a $500 guarantee to come to Atlanta for a football game. On the Pullman ride from Lebanon, the 16-man Cumberland team stopped in Nashville to recruit players from to join the crusade.
