Then Brooker, out the Yellow jackets a 5 5 record. Georgia finished with a 6-4 chart. Tibbetts also led Tech into position for what would have been a game winning field goal in the fourth quarter. He ran for 13 critical yards, and his screen pass to Graning negotiated 33 yards to the Georgia 10, but Wells missed the vital kick and Techs hopes for a victory died in a last-minute flurrv of futile long passes by Tibbetts. Most of the clash was a fierce battle of furious lines.

Tech and Georgia alternated at getting the edge in the fight up front. Georgia drove with the opening kickoff to Techs 13. but safety man Walter Howard senarated Georgia halfback Bobbv Walden and the ball with a jolting tackle and then recovered the spinmng ball before it touched the ground. Howard also halted two other Georgia surges with interceptions. Guard Rufus Guthrie recovered two fumbles for Tech.

The give-no-quarter brawl climaxed a frustrating season for Tech. The Yellow Jackets lost four SEC games by a total of five points. Techs five defeats were by an aggregate of 11 points. So severe was the knocking in the line that 15-vard assessments for personal fouls dotted the entire contest. Ga.

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt in the 1960 61 upper tier with Mississippi, Tulane and Tennessee not far beh'nd. Relegated to the second division ir. preseason reckoning are Mississippi State, Florida, Georgia, Alabama and LSU. As usual, most eyes were turned toward Kentucky.

Coach Adolph Rupp's Wildcats have failed for two straight years to win the conference championship, and Rupp is admittedly hungry to get back on top. Mississippi State oeat the baron out in 1958-59 and the Wildcats had to settle for a second-place tie with Ailbum. Last year, both Auburn and Georgia Tech finished ahead Kentucky, and Tech repeated its earlier feat of whipping the Cats twice in one season. Top returnees to Kentucky include Ned Jennings (6-9), Billy Ray Lickert (6-3), Carroll Burchett (6-4) and Dickie Parsons (5-9). Auburn returns four starters from the 1959-60 champions and welcomes at least three sophomores of better-than-average talent.

But Coach Joel Eaves isnt very optimistic. Auburn lost Henry Hart, ar. all-SEC play-maker, and Eaves says Hart was the heart of his ball club. "Hart was the driving force behind our 1959 team, and it is very difficult to determine just how much his great leadership and ability to score or set up scores in the toughest situations will be missed. Georgia Tech Coach John Hyder optimistic despite the loss of brilliant Dave Denton and speedster Eobby Dews.

Tech returns Roger Kaiser, leading scorer in the SEC last season, and a good rebounder in 6-7 Wayne Richards. "The other three positions are wide open. Hyder remarked. I figure we've got nine or 10 real good players, more than we have had in a long time at Tech. Bill Depp, Bobby Bland, Ray Clark and T.arry Banks form a solid nucleus at Vanderbilt, but the Commodores will miss 1959 starter Bill Johnson, out this season because of iilness.

Among the Tulane returnees is Jack Ardon, 6-9. last years top sophomore. Ardon is joined by veterans Rex Knder, Gus Wenzel and Bob March. We could field a strong team this year. said Cliff Wells, beginning his 16th campaign as coach of thp Greenies.

"A lot depends on our new boys, Wells warns that Mississippi is the SEC darkhorse "They have a fine team, said the Tulane coach.
