...rhythm team-including a back named Luck and two youngsters who, in their first season of varsity football, have given Sinkwich a run for Southern headlines. One is eagle-eyed Sophomore Eddie Prokop, a spectacular passer who, like Sinkwich, was lured from Ohio. The other is a native Atlantan: Clinton Dillard Castleberry Jr., who is already being dubbed the Red Earth's Red Grange. His flashy running and ability to pass the ammunition have contributed largely to the Engineers' big-time renaissance. So far this season. Georgia Tech has blasted six opponents in a row-including Notre Dame...
Ever since picayune Bill Johnston appeared on the scene in 1915, there has been at least one high-class tennist who looks as if nature had designed him for ping-pong. Currently, Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant, a 5 ft. -3 in. Atlantan, holds this distinction.

Last week the regents filled that post with a scholarly Atlantan who will be the youngest president of any State university...
...Bendix Trophy hands down. Strong favorite to win this year's Bendix, Colonel Turner (California National Guard) was scratched 15 minutes before the start by a leaky fuel tank. Three pilots were left in the race. Flying the famed red-and-black Wedell-Williams "44," a drawling Atlantan named Douglas Davis took off from Burbank before dawn without breakfast. Headwinds, rain and fog cut his speed to 212 m. p. h., brought him to Cleveland an hour behind the course record but in plenty of time to win the $4,500 first prize and receive the Bendix Trophy from Cinemactress...
