Strong Vandy Final Half
Defeats Georgia, 69-56
A1 Rochelle took the helm for Vanderbilt early in the second half,
and steered the Commodores to a hard-fought (ill-56 triumph over a
fast-improving Georgia “five” in Woodruff Hall Saturday.
Vandy, ranked in the top three na- leading the pack with 16. Ensley and
tionally, apparently regarded this tilt Henry Cabaniss had nine apiece for
as only a small wave to cut through the host,
in quest of their seventh straight
conference win without a setback.
Set Play Pattern
However, the Commodores, who
employed a double pivot, and
operated a set play pattern which had
them firing shots from 20 feet or less,
were throttled by the Bulldogs' tight
man-to-man defense in the first half.
The lead changed hands four times
in the opening half. Vanderbilt was
front running, 14-7, with eight min
utes gone, but Bill Ensley and Cur
tis Gleaton brought the Bulldogs
back into contention, and the Com
modores held only a slender 32-30
lead at intermission.
Rochelle, a six footer, moved into
the pivot at the start of the second
half and quickly found the range. He
scored 14 point in the final half.
Deadlocked 38 All
Deadlocked 3 8 all with four min
utes gone in the second half, Roch
elle, Babe Taylor and Charlie Har
rison stormed ahead and pulled Van
dy away from the Georgians for good.
Gleaton displayed his finest form
of the season, taking scoring honors
with 20 points on long range jump
and push shots in addition to claim
ing 13 rebounds.
Poor Foul Shooting
The Bulldogs had a miserable night
at the foul line, making only 10 of
26 tries, and turned in a sub-par per
formance from the field, making 29
per cent in that department.
Vanderbilt caged 17 of 21 from the
line, and sank 33 per cent of their
shots from the floor.
All five starters hit double figures
for the Commodores, with Rochelle

Walker on Feb. 24
D. C. Walker and Frank Howard
will make return engagements tc the
Touchdown Club of Athens at its
10th annual meeting which will be
held at the Athens Country Club on

Both rate the encore as after-din

ous entertainment that they have pro
vided in the past.
Howard fills the head football
coaching billet at Clemson, and has
cause to remain in a jovial mood as
his Tiger "eleven" posted their best
seasonal record in recent years.
Now coach of the Montreal Alou-

Young manager
handles finances for
$ 40,000,000 business
General Electric is made up of more than
90 product departments that operate as in
dividual “businesses” — each conducting its
own legal, financial, manufacturing, engi
neering, marketing and research activities.
One of the most important of these busi
nesses is the Technical Products Department
that makes broadcasting and communica
tions equipment and semi-conductor devices.
Responsible for managing the finances of
this $40 million business is Robert H. Platt.
Platt’s Work Is Important, Responsible
In the next ten years, the Technical Products
Department is expected to reach the $100
million mark —more than doubling its
present size. This is a big job. And it requires
Platt to keep tabs on everything from tax,
cost, and general accounting to payrolls,
budgets and measurements, credits and col
lections, and internal auditing.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
Experience gained in the Business Training
Course and as a traveling auditor gave Piatt
a variety of financial experience. Like each
of our 25,000 coUege-graduate employees,
he was given the chance to grow and realize
his full potential. For General Electric has
long believed this: When fresh young minds
are given the freedom to make progress,
everybody benefits — the individual, the
company, the country.
