PAGE TWO ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD George Waddell Alumni Field Representative

L\TE in October George Waddell, Class of 1938, of Greenfield, Ohio, was appointed Alumni Field i Representative of the Rollins Alumni Association. Mr. Waddell's work will be primarily with the Alumni Clubs throughout the country and with the Placement Service. It has long been felt that the Alumni Association needed the services of someone who could spend a great deal of time working directly with the organized groups of alumni in various parts of the coutnry — to be a direct contact between College and Alumni. At the present time there are seventeen organized Clubs, but there are many other towns and cities where there are a sufficient number of alumni to form an active group. George will assist in the organization of these groups. These groups of alumni may be of untold service to Rollins. In order that these objectives might be discussed and plans for George's work with the Clubs might be discussed and planned, "Red" Winderweedle, chairman of the Alumni Council, called together representatives of each of the organized Clubs and asked them to meet on the Rollins campus for a two day conference with George George Waddell Waddell, officers of the Alumni Association and officials of the College. This conference was called on November 1 and was mended for appointing an Alumni Field Representative opened with a luncheon in the "Beanery" at which time to promote a closer bond between College and Alumni and Mrs. Marian Van Buren Cleveland was introduced as to commend it for its choice of the man chosen and to the new Dean of Women and George Waddell was intro- assure him of their wholehearted cooperation and support duced as the Field Representative.

PAGE FOUR ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD sophomore. An All-Southern back with Landon High in Jacksonville, Harmdan was injured in the first game of the season against Stetson as a junior and did not see action until the final game of the year, also against Stet- son. This year he ran Davidson, Miami and other big teams crazy and climaxed his career by scoring three touchdowns against Stetson on a 40 yard punt return and two passes which covered 38 and 20 yards for his scores. Hardman also developed as a passing threat him- self and his passes, especially to Lingerfelt, were a con- stant threat to the opposition. He was named on the Orlando Sentinel All-State Team. Of Lingerfelt there is little to be said except that he ranks as the greatest end in Rollins history — even greater than such notables as Tom Powell and Dan Contini, because of his brilliance as a pass catcher. In three years of football, he never dropped a pass that he could get his hands upon. He was outstanding on de- fense, won the squad's blocking trophy last year, and this season called signals and was field captain as well. An All-North Carolina high school end, he was All-Florida last year and is a sure repeater with prospects bright that he will be Little Ail-American. If Lingerfelt makes this team, he will be the first Rollins player in history to gain this honor. The freshman team this year was the strongest in Rollins history. They beat Stetson, Tampa, and Miami, the latter defeated Florida, and were well on their way to a state championship when Stetson beat them in a return game. Over-confidence played a large part in the upset. As a result the Rollins frosh and Miami frosh tied for the state title. Scat-backs are plentiful in the freshman bunch. Mc- Dowall is partial to the small, fast runners, and has had remarkable success in developing fleet-footed phantoms like Will Rogers, George Miller, Joe Justice, and Sam June Lingerfelt, Little Ail-American Hardman. Tops in the freshman group are Sammy Pugh, of Lake Wales, Quentin Bittle of Haines City, and Dave Frazier of Landon High, Jacksonville, Monroe Griffin of Fletcher High, Jacksonville Beach, and Freddy Caldwell of Orlando supply the backfield power.
