The new period of office will begin with the opening of the fall term of the college on October 5.

Marshall and Plaster Head Varsity Jack Marshall, Tech's star end, was recently elect­ ed to lead the Jacket football squad this year. Ralph Plaster, well known around the flats for his ball car­ rying abilities, was elected alternate captain by his teammates. Marshall and Plaster are both very active in stu­ Football dent activities—Marshall is president of the senior class, is a Lieutenant (j.g.) in the Naval R.O.T.C., and is very active in the "T" club. He spent his high Captain school days at North Fulton in Atlanta. Jack is the only experienced end the team has. Just who will hold down the other side of the line has not definitely Marshall been decided, but Helms, Tech's big tackle, is a likely prospect. Plaster is also an active member of the Tech "T" Senior Club. He is a member of the Anak Honorary Society, and an outstanding member of the Inter fraternity Council. Ralph went to Tech High School in Atlanta and before coming to Tech. He is now a member of the senior class. Star End Football Prospects Tech doesn't send out invitations to practice; just a notice suffices, and out of the 80 or 90 men respond­ ing around 35 are selected for the varsity squad. Tech's leading backfield prospects for this fall in­ clude Eddie Prokop, Jim Luck, Bobby Dodd, Ralph Plaster, Wilbur Stein, Jack Hancock, Pat McHugh, Bobby Sheldon, and Al Faulkner. Mutt Manning returns to take over the center duties. The other first flight linesmen include Ed Ryckley and Harvey Hardy, guards; West, Anderson and Helms, tackles, and Marshall, end. Line material is a bit slim and freshmen could be worked in handily. Alternate All in all, however, Tech expects to show a greatly improved team and there will be more scoring punch and a more spectacular attack by the varsity this fall. Captain The accelerated school year has given Coach Alex­ ander one of his best conditioned squads in years with which to begin a new season. The first year rule Plaster promises him several players of first-team caliber; among their numbers are Clint Castleberry, Ray­ mond Smith and Bill Healey—the first two from Senior Boys High School, Atlanta, and the latter a Marietta, Ga., product of 187 pounds, from Baylor School, Chattanooga. and Although Coach Alexander has not divulged his plans, it appears that a lot hinges on Healey. Should he come through it would enable the Jackets to keep Stellar Back Jack Helms at end, where he has been working as Jack Marshall's running mate. Helms has been shifted from tackle in an effort to make up for the loss of Harry Arthur and George Webb. This move, however, is still in the experimental stage, its permanency depending on the development of other tackle prospects. Tech will be heavier than usual this year.
