    :URSDAY: SEPTEMBER' 27. 1962
011 and On
Throwing caution to the winds during the past summer,
this writer ventured into the camp of a recently vanquished
•
enemy.
Atlanta, that fair Southern city, is an easy-going town.
The residents find it difficult to get excited over gubernatorial
campaigns, visiting dignataries or juit about anything - else
you could name. Except football.
For Atlanta is the home of Georgia Tech, long one of the
nation's foremost football powers. Curse the heat, condemn'
the mockery that is,Georgia politics and even refuse to look
at the parade of beautiful women on Peachtree Street—but
dOn't breathe an unkind word about - the Yellow. Jackets of
Bobby Dodd without expecting
an argument.
Georgia Tech is proud of
its football teams; and right
fully , so. The YelloW Jackets
consistently rank wincing the
top twenty teams' in ihe nation.
Their bowl- record is a. highly
creditable 11-4-0.
Under Bobby Dodd, Tech
has 128 wins,' just 50 defeats
and 6 ties. Ten of Dodd's teams
have been invited to play in
post-§eason_ bowl games • and
they won eight of these ten
games.
It - is to the credit of the
Penn State football team that
it was able to rpll up a 30-15
Gator Bowl victory last Decem
ber_ in Jacksonville.
BOBBY DODD
Robert Lee Dodd is a gentle
man. He accepts defeat, grace- gentleman Georgian
fully and offerS no excuses, but he is an exception in Atlanta
There' remains in Atlanta a considerable number of
non-believeis.
Georgia Tech football enthusiasts were confident that
their beloved Yellow Jackets had nothing to fear from that
"Ivy Legue school" from Pennsylvania. They ignored Dodd's
warning that Galen Hall would rival Alabama's pftrless Pat
Trammel as a passer. They settled back to watch the Jackets
prove their superiority.
When the firing was over, the Lions had added a third
bowl trophy in three years to their collection, crushing Tech
but only temporarily quieting Engineer fans.
VARIOUS REASONS are - given to ,explain the demise of
the Yellow Jackets. The' idea that the Jackets were caught
with their Christmas dinners still undigested and their spare
tires showing is the excuse most often heard.
I Another is the suggestion that Tech's backfield was off
'its
.timing because of the loss of Chick Graning, a fine half
backs.
Grilling, if you .don't remember, was the recipient of a
forearM smash in the Alabama-Tech game last -year. The in
cident _received tremendous publicity. Alabama linebacker
Darwin Holt was almost universally condemned as typical
of the new breed. of "vicious" football player.
A fact ignored in the newspapers concerns the game film.
That film shows that it was an accident. Holt was simply
blocking the closestman to him, a cardinal rule' on punt
'returns:
One other interesting note can be added to the case.
Viciousl Darwin Holt, his own career ended by an' injury 'in
Canadian ball, was the weekend guest and constant com
panion' Of Charles Hugh (Chick) Graning shortly after the
end of :the football season.

'Biggest Man in World'
Named Lineman of Week
"He is," says Roger Koch
man, "the biggest man in the
world."
"He is," says Rip Engle, "a
really fine tackle. He is big,
fast and he ;wants to play foot
ball."
And now he is also Sports
Illustrated's Lineman of the - Week
for his play in the Lions' 41-7
victory over Navy Saturday.
'He is, of course, Chuck Siemin
ski, the fastest-moving mountain
of muscle this side of King Kong.
BIG CHUCK, who somehow
looks larger in perion than he
does on the football field, is off

Occasionally, a Navy ball-car
rier would barge .into: the line
and bounce back like he had been
hit with a .club.
But more: often he wouldn't
bounce back at all. His parents
and friends would hold their
breath until their bo'y was finally
found under a large, blue cover
with 77 - spread across the back
of it. .
Sometimes the Navy ball-car
rier wouldn't even have to come
to Chuck. Chuck' would go. to
meet them, barging through the
Navy line like a man entering, a
bar through swinging doors.
At 6-5 and 250 pounds, Siemin

as he wades through an oppo

huge arms around_a back.
But it isn't entirely Sieminski's
