Any One of the States Designated as Anger, Disgust .. Anguish. The Pageantry of Tech Football On Football Saturday, the air is charged with excitement around Georgia Tech. 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 Bud Carson 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 Atlanta 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. As the Jackets moved up to Tennes- LEFT TO RIGHT, FRONT ROW: Bud Bonnewell, Cam Bonifay, Larry Studdard, Bruce Southall, Kevin McNamara, Tim Macy, Tom Lang, Rob Healy, Dexter Hoffman, RI Stevenson, Jeff Ford, Brent Cunningham, Jimmy Murray, Mike McKenzie and Herman Lam.

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 quarterback. 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 quarterbacks being caught in the Jack- et's version of Tight Squeeze. LEFT: FSU's Huff discovers why Gebhart was chosen All-American. 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. ABOVE: Daffier smothers ball carrier; UPPER FAR RIGHT: McKenzie blocks Duke punt; LOWER FAR RIGHT: If you don't think Joe Gas- ton enjoys defense, then check his expression on this play. 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.

NFF and Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame to Celebrate Black History Month with Special Tributes Special exhibit and interviews with leaders, champions and legends will celebrate Black History and its connections to college football. IRVING, Texas (Feb. 1, 2021) – The National Football Foundation (NFF) and the Chick-fil- A College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta will celebrate Black History Month 2021 with a series of initiatives, including a special exhibit at the Hall, a web series, a panel event and a Q&A series with members of the NFF Board of Directors. "College football has a rich history of being in the vanguard of shaering racial barriers," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. "Ever since the first Black player took the field at a predominately white college in 1889, college football has helped integrate our country and overcome prejudices. We are extremely proud of this history, and it is a powerful testament of how football has made an impact well beyond the playing field." "We're blessed to have these amazing men on the NFF Board," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. “They have distinguished themselves in all they’ve ever done. They provide a window into the richness that is Black history.” Throughout the month of February, the NFF will release a Q&A series with members of the NFF Board, sharing their insights about Black History, social injustice in our country and their experiences on the gridiron.

  • New England Patriots 1981 Schedule
    A UNIQUE FUNDING TRIANGLE CREATES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR URBAN BOYS AND GIRLS The Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (TAP) In our quest to improve the quality of life for Boston's youth the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston depends heavily on the generosity of others. The Frito-Lay Company is a prime exam­ ple of an advocate of the Clubs via an imaginative funding triangle thanks to the New England Patriots. Here's how it works. As the Patriots score points. Frito-Lay scores for the children of Boston, donating $100 to the Boys' and Girls Clubs for each point! This totaled $54.600 in 1980 alone! Throughout the country and. of course. in Boston. businessmen. parents. and the community at large hail this program as one of the most creative charitable donations in ex­ istence. The funds are designated for a very special purpose ...the Boys and Girls Clubs-Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (known as the Frito-Lay TAP). This education program directly serves over 1,000 children in each of three Clubhouses. Counsellors and tutors reinforce school work, stressing the importance of a well-rounded education. Like the athlete, the student is taught to work daily to improve his skills.Each youngster's individual needs deter­ mine the type of supplemental training he or she receives. Some require help in vocabulary and reading.Others lack suffi­ cient mathematic skills. Still others reap the benefits of science instruction through practical lessons at the Museum of Science. The TAP program provides a strong base for the educational and emotional development of our inner-city kids.

  • Ground Breakers Long After Jackie Robinson Smashed the Color Barrier
    Ground Breakers Long after Jackie Robinson smashed the color barrier in baseball, these Southern college football pioneers desegregated a more violent sport, in a more violent place, at a more violent time By Alexander Wolff 1. The University of Mississippi didn't lose a thing in the fall of 1962. Oh, the history books might say something different, telling as they do of a black man named James Meredith and the failed, violent efforts to keep him from enrolling at the school, and the beginning of the end of segregation in the depths of the South. But posterity also records that after the gun smoke and tear gas had blown from the campus, the Ole Miss football team went 10-0, even as it shared its practice field with the federal troops bivouacked there. It was no small balm to white Mississippians, who watched what they called "our way of life" come forcefully to a close. In his autobiography the coach of that undefeated team, John Vaught, described the effect in a chapter titled "Football Saves a School." But for most white Southerners it was one thing to integrate their classrooms and quite another to desegregate their football teams. In the Southeastern, Atlantic Coast and Southwest conferences, and at such major independents as Houston, Florida State and Georgia Tech, to do so was to mess with the sacraments. To be sure, in the late '50s coach Bud Wilkinson had brought a black receiver named Prentice Gautt to Oklahoma; Abner Haynes, a black running back, had starred at predominantly white North Texas State; and Leford Fant had briefly caught passes for Texas Western.

  • U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
    U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S.

  • “You're in the South Now, Brother”: the Atlanta Hawks and Race, 1968–1970
    “You’re in the South Now, Brother”: The Atlanta Hawks and Race, 1968–1970 BY THOMAS AIELLO mong the players trickling into Atlanta in the summer of A 1968 following the arrival of the first NBA team to the Deep South, the former St. Louis Hawks, was “Pogo” Joe Caldwell, one of the team’s stars. In 1968, the Hawks, a perennial league power, had been regular-season champion of the league’s Western Divi- sion. Caldwell was an all-star, a former standout at Arizona State who played on the 1964 United States gold-medal-winning Olym- pic team. Caldwell, his wife, daughters, and sister arrived at the Holiday Inn in Atlanta, only to be greeted by a car full of whites who screamed “Hey, niggers!” before driving away. “Well,” his sis- ter told him, “you’re in the South now, brother.”1 Professional sports had already arrived in Atlanta and the Deep South when the Hawks began playing at Georgia Tech’s Alexander Memorial Coliseum in October 1968. The move of the Milwaukee Braves to Atlanta, the impact of their black star, Hank Aaron, and the country’s poetic and fraught historical re- lationship with baseball and its role in race relations are gener- ally interpreted as paving the way for first the National Football League and then the NBA. This interpretation is instructive 1Joe Caldwell, Banned from Basketball: The Long Strange Trip of “Pogo” Joe Caldwell (Tempe, AZ, 2003). Caldwell’s book is self-published and not paginated.
