The Pageantry of Tech Football

On Football Saturday, the air is charged with excitement around . Football has always played an important part on this campus — it is as necessary in the scheme of things as Chem Lab 107 or Calculus and a hell of a lot more enjoyable. Tradition maintains an important role at Tech, and at no time during the year is it more evident than on Football Saturday. The revered Ramblin' Reck, a spirited Model A Ford, rumbles onto the field as an escort to a multitude of cheerleaders, coaches and team members. Rolling once around the field, the noise of the Reck is drowned out by thousands of voices singing perhaps the most famous of college fight songs, "I'm a Ramblin' Reck from Georgia Tech." It is this backdrop of colorful excite- ment that prevades Football Saturday at Tech. New traditions serve to bridge the gap be- tween classes. However, the latest tradition was marred by controversy. It started harm- lessly enough as hundreds of freshmen cascaded onto the field providing a human channel for the entering team. Reaction to this event was mixed in that the team and upperclassmen were wholeheartedly in support while the AA and many alumni were both shocked and upset. A compromise later in the season appeared to satisfy both elements as the rats were able to form their line halfway onto the field. Perhaps in years to come, this new tradition will seem as eternal as the entrance of the Reck.

BELOW: Head Coach and herd When the season opened many things were expected. Coach Carson was calling this his finest team ever, not only defen- sively but also offensively where his teams normally lacked. But after the first week the optimism passed as Tech defeated itself in South Carolina 24 to 7. In the second game, the defense was solid, but the vaunted passing offense didn't materialize, so by de- fense alone Tech beat Michigan State 10 to 0. Army came to town the next weekend with many prognosticators picking Tech by 40 or more, but everything fell apart and Army left with their biggest victory since Sherman's visit. After that disaster, things appeared to be looking up for the men in white and gold. The arm of McAshan and the running of Horne and Healy finally gave the fans some- thing to cheer about with an outstanding of- fensive show and a 24 to 14 win over Clem- son.

140 The Season: It Only Hurts When You Think About It.

see, the rains came and victory literally slipped through their hands, as numerous passes were dropped. The game was lost 10 to 6. So far the pattern had been loss- win-loss-win-loss so obviously Auburn should have been a Tech victory. The only problem was Pat Sullivan. Our defense could not hold Heisman Trophy winner Sul- livan for four quarters as the Jackets lost 35 to 20. Maybe if Eddie had played all four quarters instead of just the end of the fourth, we would have won, but his pin- point passing at the end of the game was an indication of things to come. When the Jackets finally put it all together in New Orleans, Eddie and Co. looked great and the defense was super! Even the cries of "Fire Bud" were put to rest, at least for a while. The preseason excitement began to return as Tech finished off Duke in what was a very happy homecoming for Tech students. Duke fell 21 to 0 and hopes were renewed. Against Navy, the Jackets won in a game that started out as a rout, but Navy slowly fought their way back before losing 34 to 21. With one of their best efforts against FSU, the secondary enabled the line to force a two point safety to end the game. This performance culminated the outstand- ing defensive year with a 12 to 6 victory. The final regular season game was against Georgia, and the normal excitement was there. The writing on the wall said Tech would have the win as time was almost gone, but a super effort by Andy Johnson stole the victory and the spirit from the Jackets and their followers. The Peach Bowl was not much to look at as either a Jacket fan or just a football fan as Tech was destroyed by Ole Miss in the mud of Atlanta Stadium. The hopes had once again been taken from the Jackets as the season ended worse than it began. The removal of Carson as coach is supposed to help. But, if any- thing else goes wrong, who do we blame next?

141 RIGHT, TOP TO BOTTOM: Greg Horne bucks over Clemson line for six points. Offense Starts Slow, Begins to Roll at Mid-Season

The beauty of a well-oiled offense is a sight to behold. Unfortunately, Tech's of- fense had a hard time getting started this season. Frustrating mistakes cost us the South Carolina as well as the Army game. And yet, at times, the offense was brilliant. Against Navy, Tech rolled up 34 points and pinned Duke to a 21-0 decision. Stellar per- formances on the ground by Horne, Healy and Lang helped keep us in contention while McAshan gradually began to gain the confidence necessary for a successful . The turning point of the season, as far as the offense was concerned, was the Tulane game. Tech controlled the ball throughout making it nearly impossible for the Greenies to make much headway until it was too late. This victory was the most necessary — and satisfying — win of the season up to that point. Tech then began to rely more on their offense — in particular, the passing game. By passing more frequently, the Jackets were better able to keep the opposition off balance thereby increasing the effective- ness of the running game as well. Football Is a Game of Pursuit and Capture

The sound of heavy footsteps is familiar to all ball carriers. The entire game is built around one precept: Search and Destroy. Locate the man with the ball, pursue him re- lentlessly, and capture him using as much force as possible. Perhaps this explains why most backs run faster during the game than during practice. After all, 250 pounds of charging lineman carries a lot of momentum — and Tech is not noted for the awesome size of their running backs. On these pages, you can see "Mighty Mite," Brent Cunningham, being hounded by a Spartan gargantua, as well as two visit- ing being caught in the Jack- et's version of Tight Squeeze.

BELOW, RIGHT AND LOWER RIGHT: Auburn': Henley exhibits the fine art of fumbling the ball Tech's Duckworth receives credit for the steal

Ball, Ball, Who's Got the Football? Fumble! The very word quickens the pulse of every partisan fan and contributes to the receding hairline of even the most placid coach. Nothing like a fumble can so quickly — or dramatically — alter the com- plexion of a game. Momentum can sudden- ly and often drastically shift to the opposi- tion's advantage. In the fleeting moment as the ball pops free, the chances for victory may vanish amid the groans and cheers of the respective fans.

Defense: Trademark of Tech Football Ask one of our opponents what he re- members most about Tech, and odds have it that he'll mention the defense. Since Coach Carson took command of the Jack- ets, our strongpoint has been the ability to tear down the opposition's offense. Tech fans were rarely disappointed by the de- fense's performance and, more often than not, were treated to at least one super play each week. Take for example the sacking of vaunted FSU quarterback Gary Huff for a safety by Smylie Gebhart. Or, how about Mike McKenzie blocking a punt against Duke? And who could forget Jeff Ford's in- terception and touchdown against Navy? Yet the most important factor in the success of the defense was their ability to function as a unit.

Forward Pass Is Alive and Well at Georgia Tech

The forward pass is considered by many to be the most exciting part of modern-day football. For awhile this season, it was ru- mored that the forward pass was dead at Georgia Tech. But, by mid-season, McAsh- an began to click with his receivers, and the whole offense was sparked by the addition of this dual threat. Bigger holes were opened for running backs because line- backers could no longer count on the run. And, we began to move the ball more con- sistently, with less reliance on the classic "two-yards-and-a-cloud-of-synthetic-dust" play. Tech Against Georgia in Classic Battle,

Emptiness. Then, slowly the whole crush- ing weight of what might have been. The frustration and inexplicable defeats of the early season, almost forgotten in four straight victories, became terribly real. The Georgia game, perhaps more than any other, made the season. It was the season; it always is. It was perhaps the most classic game played by two of the most classic ri- vals in football. From the depths of despair to the pinnacle of ecstasy, it was a sports fan's dream — the underdog leads for three quarters, the favorite desparately catches up to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. Another team perhaps would have said, "Well, we tried," and let it go at that, but Tech immediately came back to take the lead with only a little over a minute left. But it was not to be. Sometimes 14 seconds makes a hell of a difference. But it wasn't over yet. Tech's twentieth bowl trip wasn't much of a trip. In fact, it wasn't much of a game. The only real con- test was to keep from drowning in 6 inches of water and 10 inches of mud. Yet, even after slipping, sliding and fumbling to a 38-6 half-time deficit, the Jackets refused to give up. When they came back out, they came out to win. Though it was too little, too late, the total offense was amazingly close: 318 yards for Ole Miss, 317 for Tech. But, Ole Miss walked off the field with the trophy; the destruction of a season, a team, and a coach was complete. "but Gets Washed Away in Peach Bowl

When asked about defensive end Smylie Gebhart, Coach Carson commented, "I've never known any football player who didn't have a bad day except Smylie." Gebhart was frequently an unwelcome sight to many opposing quarterbacks this season. Per- haps his greatest effort came against FSU, when he harassed quarterback Gary Huff all afternoon despite a broken hand. Freshmen Lose One, Beat Georgia

This year's edition of the freshman team put together a highly successful season winning five and losing only to the Universi- ty of Tennessee Baby Vols. Standouts for the freshmen include quarterback Joe Leahy, middle linebacker Joe Harris and safety Randy Rhino who began the season as a running back. In the traditional Thanksgiving Day Clas- sic, the freshmen outplayed the Georgia frosh for a satisfying 17-12 victory. One of the scores was set up by a fake field goal executed perfectly by Leahy.

Carson Not Reappointed as Head Football Coach The Board of Trustees of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association has decided not to reappoint Coach Bud Carson as head football coach at Georgia Tech.

The freshmen played a schedule that took them all across the Southeast this year, and their losses were registered only on away games.

With the coming of spring, the Techman's mind lightly turns to thoughts of love .. . and baseball. And at least in baseball, his expectations were realized. - Under Coach Jim Luck, the team posted a 31-6 record and was runner-up in the NCAA District Ill playoffs. The superior pitching of Mike Sorrow, Bill Pridgen and Mike Schisler, plus the excel- lent hitting of Larry Elliott and the Bonifay brothers contributed to the outstanding sea- son during which five individual and four team records were established. The team's trip to the NCAA District Ill Tournament was an eventful one. Tech shook off an early setback in the double elimination playoff and advanced to the fi- nals against Mississippi State.

In one of their most successful seasons, the tennis team finished with a 14-4 record losing only to highly ranked Miami, South- eastern Conference champs Georgia, and Clemson. Competing with only a limited number of scholarships, the netmen faired exceptionally well against such teams as Alabama who fielded 12 full scholarship players. Led by seniors Larry Turville and Steve Yellin, the 1971 tennis team won many matches including three they were expected to lose. The efforts of Turville and Yellin paid off when the squad finished among the top 10 in NCAA competition in- volving 60 teams. Wrestlers Come to Grips With Problem

The academic atmosphere at Tech af- fects all the people in the Tech community, but the wrestling team felt it the most. The record of the wrestling team was a reflec- tion of the necessary scholastic require- ments; the team was forced to forfeit three weight classes because of academic ineligi- bility. The points lost from these forfeits probably were the cause of several losses since the remaining individuals had out- standing personal performances. Led by Captain Jerry Goldstein along with sopho- mores Jack Love and Laird Carmichael, the Tech grapplers would have had one of their best seasons ever if not for these forfeits but they look forward to next year when these stars will hopefully return.

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, most times you choose between the two." The Tech Gymnastic Team, while not the best in the south, was not all that bad. In fact, led by all-around performer Ted Cyr along with Co-Captains Charlie Peebles and Ron Wise, the gymnastic team had one of their finest seasons. The team was made up of individuals who competed for the en- joyment they received from the sport unlike some individuals in the scholarship support- ed sports. This personal desire to excel was apparent from their efforts which usually went unnoticed by the student body.

Remarkable performances by Andy Hudson and Joel Majors in six dual meets and the State Championship meet were the major factors in these victories. The major disap- pointments of the season were directly re- lated to the absence of one of these runners due to illnesses or examinations. Even with the graduation of Hudson and Majors, the nucleus of a good squad remains. Golf Team Has Rough Going

Asked about the season, Coach Plaxico's comment was, "It was a disaster. Let's not talk about it." Later, he said that the main reason for this situation was that he has to rely on walk-ons for the major portion of his team. Next year's situation looks almost as bleak because no scholarships lure exactly that many people; none.

Even though the Tech swimmers started out rather poorly, they were able to pull through with a 10 and 7 record by virtue of several late season victories. Since superior tankmen at other schools are offered full scholarships, it was surpris- ing that Tech was able to obtain exceptional individuals such as Dick Bergmark and Steve Heck. Scholarships cannot be the reason for being a swimmer at Tech since few are offered, so it must be something else. Whatever it is, Coach McAuley is thankful that swimmers of good caliber have joined the team and perhaps in the future, these individuals can be molded into a suc- cessful team.

177 Soccer Team Wins Despite Frustrations

The Tech Soccer Team, recognized as one of the better clubs in the nation, was seriously hampered by lack of funds. In one instance, half of the team was left behind in a road trip to the University of Florida. No full-time coach and no field priority has also added to the frustrations of the team. But despite these problems, they were able to put together a successful 7-3-1 season against major southeastern schools. Rec- ognition as a varsity sport by the Athletic Association would increase the chances of success on the field as well as aid in the scheduling of major schools throughout the nation.
