Georgia Tech Old Hand
At Winning Bowl Games
The state of Georgia is the home of Ty Cobb, peaches, and Georgia Tech. Try and
decide which of those three image evokers has done more to spread the name of that grand
old Southern state and you'd have an argument on your hands, but the cold facts point to
Georgia Tech.
By appearing in 14 post-season bowl games down through the years the Engineers have
enhanced the glory of dear ole' Georgia and at the same time set a remarkable record in post
season attractions.
Tech has won 11 of those 14, including eight in a row over one stretch, a record that
ties them with Southern California
Sur the most bowl wins in succes
sion
Penn State will provide the op
position in the 15th appearance in
the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville,
Fla., Dec. 30.
During Coach Bobby Dodd's
17 years al Tech the Engineers
have won eight of nine post
season games.
`Six of those eight wins were
crammed into less than a six-year
period. Tech won in the Orange
Bowl in 1952, the Sugar Bowl in
19.. Ti and 1954, the Cotton Bowl
in 1955, the Sugar Bowl in 1956
and the Gator Bowl in Dec. of
1956. Tech is the only team to
win f;ix howl games in six years.
The only loss during Dodd's re
gime was to Arkansas, 14-7, in
1960. ,
The Engineers have made al
most 'three limes as many bowl
appearances as State.
The Lions will he making their
fifth post-season showing. State
lost to Southern California in the
Rose Bowl 14-3. in 1922, and tied
SMU in the Cotton Bowl 13-13, in
1947.
The Lions were the host team
in Philadelphia's Liberty Bowl the
past two years, beating Alabama
in the inaugural in 1959 (7-0) and:
Oregon, Last year (41-12).
Georgia Tech has a 6-3 record
so far with a game remaining
against arch-rival Georgia Sat- I
urday.
Tech conquerors were LSIJj
(10-0), Tennessee UO-6) and Ala-)
bama (10-0). The Engineers beat,
USC (27-7), Rice (24-0), Duke'
(21-0), Auburn (7-6), Tulane (35-
0) and Florida (20-(i).

two big games on this final
football Saturday (A rm y-
Navy), and thirst for revenge
will dictate the result of the other
(Alabama-Auburn).
Army 21, Nacy 18: Army has
won only one of the last five
games and has been upended in
the last two by the exploits of
Joe Bellino, no longer around.
Auburn 7, Alabama 0: Alabama,
unbeaten and untied, rated No. 1
and looking to the Sugar Bowl,
should• be a sitting duck for a
big, tough rival wanting to get
even for last year's 3-0 setback.

state foe.

Depth Hurts Cagers;
Sixth Man Needed
Depth, an almost .perennial
problem for basketball coach
John Egli, will hurt the Lions
gain this year, especially in
early season games when State
will be without the services of
two letterman Jake Trueblood
and John Phillips.
Trueblood is on academic pro
bation. An NCAA rule prevents
him from playing until Jan. 5,
the day that winter term classes
begin.
The 6-5, 192-pound senior
averaged 10.4 points a game last
year and was the second-lead
ing rebounder on the squad.
He'll miss Ii games starting
with the Maryland encounter
at Rec Hall Saturday. -
Phillips has been student teach
ing and hasn't worked out with
the team. Egli will probably use
him as a sixth man as soon as
he rounds into shape.
Egli, figures to start Bobby
Donato and John Mitchell in the
backcourt, Gene Harris and Earl
Hoffman at forward and Wayne
Lundy at center.
But after that he'll be short on
experience and talent, at least
until Phillips can play.
Right now Egli isn't sure just
who his sixth man will be. He
has two big men, Bob Hutchin
son and Dick Hoe, and three
little men. Ken Staub. Ralph
Serafin and Chuck Greskovich,
who are battling for the job.
Egli is counting on the two
sophomore starters, Lundy and
Donato ,to come through in a,
hurry. "They're doing a pretty
good job for sophomores," Egli
said. "But when you play sopho
mores, at least for a while you can
expert some good games and some!
bad games."
One of Egli's biggest prob
lems will be replacing Mark Du-
Mars, who with his sparkling
ball-handling and scoring was
a standout guard for three years
at State.
"We'll miss DuMars," Egli said,
"but Mitchell and Donato have
showed that they're capable.
They're a real pair of hustlers, and
I hope they can combine to make
up for his loss in the backcourt."
