Home Coming and Alumni Smoker Georgia Tech's wart ime home coming will be

streamlined, as a matter of necessity; and particu­larly, too, in compliance with the earnest request of the U. S. Government to postpone formal reunions and other like events where any degree of travel and demands on hotel and dining facilities are involved.

As it is, Tech's 1943 Home Coming will be held over the week-end of the Tech-Georgia football game in Atlanta, on November 27.

A "get together" athletic smoker for local and all other alumni who mav be in Atlanta, at the time, will be held at 8:00 P.M.,'Friday, November 26, in Geor­gia Tech's large new Auditorium-Gymnasium on Third Street, at the north end of Grant Field. Coach Alexander and Commander George Griffin have kindly offered to put on a real show consisting of some honest-to-goodness boxing among the service trainees at Tech, along with other athletic events; concluding with feature football pictures. All of which will be a man's affair solely with the alumni invited as guests of the Athletic and Alumni Asso­ciations. '

Groups from the classes present will meet infor­mally, of course, as no formal reunions are planned until after the war.

The Georgia Tech dining hall has been entirely taken over by the military and naval training de­partments at the college, and there is no way by which the usual luncheon may be held at noon, just before the home coming game; however, the Alumni Board members thought that the Friday night, No­vember 26, Alumni Athletic Smoker would prove to be a most enjoyable and popular innovation, instead.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS November-December, 1943

Alumni Association to Launch Tech Aid Plan Through Alumni Foundation Latter Revises Charter and Increases Trustees

Important and frequent meetings have been held by both the Georgia Tech Alumni Board members and the trustees of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foun­dation, during and since this past summer, with the express purpose of taking every co-operative step for definite aid toward the assurance of the continued welfare and growth of Georgia Tech.

The practically full attendance at each of these meetings by the Atlanta and out-of-town Board members and other former alumni officials, well de­notes the vital interest of these very busy but very loyal men—a distinguished part of a distinguished whole. The profound deliberations, keen and intel­lectual judgment, and initial steps of these promi­nent alumni certainly bode well for the college.

Letters will soon go out to members of all the classes through 1929 and, later, to the others, in ac­cordance with the PLAN that follows in this con­nection.

Other outstanding class leaders instead of the reg­ular class secretaries were chosen, as a rule, to handle the initial work, since it was thought that there will be plenty for all to do; and it is planned to call on the secretaries for what may be considerable follow through. It is realized that a lot is being "wished off" on these busy yet kindly willing representatives and that, likewise, much will also devolve upon the others, during the course of the project.

Captain Ivan Allen, Jr., who may be reached through Ivan Allen-Marshall Co., 27 Pryor St., N. E., Atlanta, has graciously accepted the direction of the activity for the classes of 1930 to date. As stated, there will be no immediate canvass of these particu­lar classes; yet, a number of their members are in position to aid with the plan and will want to do so, and they are kindly requested to make their gifts to the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation through Captain Ivan Allen, Jr .

The trustees of the Alumni Foundation, Inc., were appointed in September by the Ga. Tech Alumni Board, according to the provisions of the Founda­tion Charter, and they are announced in the plan that accompanies this article. The members of the 1943-'44 Alumni Board, are: C. L. Emerson, F. A. Hooper, Jr., J. E. Davenport, Baxter Maddox, R. B. Wilby, Thos. Fuller, Frank H. Neely, W. A. Parker, R. J. Thiesen, R. H. White, Jr., Lawrence Willet.

The proposed plan that follows is subject to revi­sions, of course; but in general it will remain essen­tially as outlined.

A PLAN to AID THE GA. SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY bv MAKING MORE EFFECTIVE THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNI FOUNDATION.

The Foundation has been in existence since 1932. It has never asked for donations, but has been the recipient of small voluntary gifts of approximately $3,000, most of which is now invested in Government Bonds. It has six trustees as follows:

Y. Frank Freeman, George Marchmont, G. M. Stout, Frank H. Neely, Robert W. Schwab, C. L. Emerson.

Judge Frank A. Hooper, Jr., Vice-President of the Alumni Association, at the request of the Founda­tion, petitioned for a change in the Charter which was granted during October, for increasing the num­ber of trustees to a permitted maximum of twenty-one.

The Executive Board of the Alumni Association has elected the following eight men, in addition to the six existing trustees who continue in office:

Frank Spratlin, James E. Davenport, Chas. A. Sweet, Geo. W. McCarty, Robert Gregg, James F. Towers, Robert B. Wilby, Geo. W. Woodruff.

The remaining seven will be elected at a later date by the Alumni Executive Committee. It is their present thought to appoint to these places men from the list of class leaders who assist in raising the pro­posed budget.

It is proposed to group all classes from that of 1890 through the Class of 1899 into one group having one leader. These original classes were small and quite a few of the members have passed away.

For the same reason the Classes of 1900 and 1901 will be combined into one. All other classes will act individually up to and including the Class of 1929. This will give 30 separate divisions. It is planned to give those in classes after 1929 an opportunity to subscribe if they wish.

In those classes after 1929 an increasing number will be found in the armed services, and others will be found to have large family responsibilities ind as yet without time to fully establish themselves in business or the professions.

The division is of necessity somewhat arbitrary, but we arrive at thirty groups to be solicited. It is hoped that each class can raise a total of $10,000, or a grand total of $300,000. This is our minimum goal. Some classes will undoubtedly raise more than $10,-000.

About 150 colleges and universities in the United States have an annual roll call among their Alumni, and each year raise a surprisingly large sum of money. Tech has never done this, nor is it planned to repeat this request for funds, at least for a three-year period. Accordingly, those who prefer for per­sonal reasons to make a pledge and pay it in install­ments over the next three years can do so. Their total subscription over three years will be credited to the Class. Others for income tax reasons may wish to make one payment only.

Many questions no doubt wiil occur to you, some of which we attempt to answer:

1. Why try to raise this money now? Because at this time nearly everyone, particularly

those engaged in construction, manufacturing, or en­gineering, are in more prosperous circumstances than ever before. Their gifts are credits against in­come for income tax purposes. The overall cost of operation is increasing as the Institution grows, and its field of opportunities increases.

2. When will the money be spent? All funds received will be held in trust until the

unconditional surrender of Germany and the end of the war in Europe.

3. Why is this delay proposed? Decisions and expenditures if made at this time

might prove after the war to have been unwise. About 75 per cent of the students at Tech at present are Army and Navy trainees.

4. What will be done in the meantime with funds secured?

As received, they will be devoted to the purchase of Government Bonds which will assist in winning the war, will insure safety and a return approxi-

mately as good as can be obtained from trust funds. 5. What will the money be used for? That question cannot be specifically answered now

since no one knows what the greatest need may be when peace returns. The character and composition of the Board of Trustees of the Alumni Foundation is such as to command the confidence of the contrib­utors.

6. Can the donor stipulate the use for which his money will be spent?

Yes, any such wri t ten limitation will surely be respected by the Board, but it is hoped that it will not generally be. found necessary.

7. What is the goal? A minimum of $10,000 is needed from each Class.

You yourself will set the amount to be asked from each individual or his company to produce this total of $10,000 or more.

8. Is this donation deductible from income tax? We quote Frank A. Hooper, Jr., judge of the Su­

perior Court of the Atlanta Circuit and Vice-Presi­dent of the Ga. Tech Alumni Association, as follows:

"From my study of the Charter of the Georgia Tech Alumni Foundation, Inc., and its by-laws, I am confident that all persons making contributions to this Foundation will be entitled to deductions for purposes of income tax, both state and federal."

9. Will this money be used for athletics? Such is not the purpose of this fund.

Crippled Children Came Goes On There will be a great football game at Georgia

Tech's Grant Field on Thanksgiving afternoon, No­vember 25, for the benefit of the Scottish Rite Hos­pital for Crippled Children, despite the fact that the present Georgia and Tech freshman players are a part of their respective varsities. In fact, the game will again be one of the highlights of the season and, due to the war, there will be every added reason for a continued capacity attendance.

The competitors will be the Georgia Tech Reserves and the Tenth Armored Division from Camp Gor­don; they will be evenly matched with each team out to win and determined to put on a real game for their fine young friends and the crowd. There are not sufficient freshmen at either Georgia or Tech to provide the usual classic, but the cause and the game will go on, as announced, and the day will be a most eventful one for the ticket holders, the crippled chil­dren, the contestants and all other participants in the worthy undertaking.

Mr. W. C. Wardlaw, Bob Scott, Bob Wilby, Frank Spratlin, Tom Law, and other members of the great committee announced that the hospital needs the funds expected from this game more than ever be­fore, and expressed the pride of the committee in the arrangement of two formidable teams to put on "the only big-time football game on Thanksgiving Day in Georgia," with certainly nothing to conflict with the attraction in Atlanta.

Greatly Enlarged Georgia Tech Foreseen Wright Bryan, distinguished associate editor and

war correspondent of the Atlanta Journal, wrote an outstanding and distinctly significant article on Geor­gia Tech in the Journal, just before his departure to London; and, since his comments were, as usual, in­tensely interesting, most informative and timely, per­mission was obtained from him for the following publication of the article:

"The Ramblin' Wreck song is something of a libel on the college it helped make famous—Georgia Tech. Far from being "a helluvan engineer," the typical Tech graduate is likely to be an exceptionally com­petent engineer, a credit to his college, his state, and his profession. Topflight football teams have fre­quently helped to publicize Tech, but the institution's good name also rests on a solid foundation of educa­tional work.

"In this Machine Age War, Tech men are peculiarly equipped to do their part and more, both in the pro­duction and supply phases and in the actual combat where fighting leaders today must have not only courage but technical proficiency and ingenuity of a high order. The presence of more than 3,000 Tech men as officers in the armed forces is visible evidence of the school's great service in this national emer­gency. At least as-many other Tech men, probably more, are doing vital jobs in civilian sectors.

"Most of the credit for this service should go to a devoted, hard-working, and intelligent faculty which, under the leadership of Dr. M. L. Brittain and his predecessors, has accomplished maximum results with minimum physical equipment and financial re­sources. And this in a field of education where costly laboratories and machinery are vital aids to proper instruction.

"The loyal Georgia Tech man, like the everyday citizen who realizes this is an age of technology, is concerned that Tech be equipped and supported in

such a manner as will insure its continued leader­ship after the war.

"Critical as the need for engineers and scientists has been during the war, the demand will be just as broad when peace returns. The fields of electronics, of plastics, of aviation, of postwar construction and industry—all will require and reward technically trained men.

"To supply its quota and maintain its high posi­tion, Tech not only must continue the fine work of the past but must be equipped to meet the problems of the future.

"The coming of age of the South as an industrial section will present new challenges and opportuni­ties to the graduates of Tech and of similar colleges in other states. It will demand that they devote more time and money to industrial research, as well as to strictly educational activities. Tech already is doing some praiseworthy research but it is hampered by lack of resources.

"New industries in the South will bring broader fields, too, for the so-called 'co-op' student. The 'co­op,' alternating terms of study with terms of actual work in his chosen profession or industry, receives a practical type of training through which he quickly applies his lessons to the problems actually met on the job. Tech has already done good work in this de­partment and should do more.

"Tech is a state institution, but few people realize that the state treasury meets only a small fraction of the school's total costs. The largest proportion is paid by the students themselves in the form of fees.

"Nevertheless the state controls the policies of Georgia Tech, and the school's welfare is vital to the state's growth. It must not be neglected.

Georgia Tech observed its fifty-fifth com­mencement on October 25 when 188 wartime seniors received their engineering degrees. The graduates included sixty Navy and 50

' Army ROTC seniors. The war-accelerated commencement was,

in fact, the third that has been held at Geor­gia Tech during 1943. The first one was ob­served on February 1; the second, on May 31 for co-operative and other accelerated stu­dents; and the third, as concluded, on October 25.

The Right Reverend Dean Raimundo de Ovies of the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta, Ga., was the commencement speaker.

Graduating seniors who completed their training in the NROTC were commissioned Ensigns in the United States Naval Reserve. Captain James V. Babcock, head of the Tech Naval Training Unit, presented their commis­sions.

Dr. M. L. Brittain conferred the degrees and Colonel Oscar I. Gates, head of the Tech Army Specialized Training Unit, presented the Army ROTC graduates.

Among the graduates in Ch.E. were two post-graduate students who received their M.S. degrees: Allan N. Smith and Roy JF. Waters.

The Senior Class officers are: George Man­ning, president; William Harris, vice-presi­dent; and Alec Lofton, secretary-treasurer.

Various degrees, and the number of those receiving each, are as follows: Aeronautical Engineers, 34; Industrial Management, 32; Mechanical Engineering, 31; Electrical Engi­neering, 27; Chemical Engineering, 26; Civil Engineering, 18; Architectural Engineering, 7; Public Health Engineering, 6; Textile En­gineering, 5; Ceramic Engineering, 4; Physics, 3; Industrial Design, 2; Chemistry, 1; General Engineering, 1.

The foregoing includes nine seniors who were to receive diplomas after commencement.

Research Workers in Demand Heavy demands for research workers and teach­

ers are being made upon the Office of Scientific Per­sonnel of the National Research Council. The great­est shortage exists in the field of physics, for which instructors and research workers are being recruited from many related fields. The Office also has calls from the armed forces, governmental agencies, war industry, and educational institutions for mathema­ticians, geologists, and biologists trained in bacte­riology, nutrition, plant pathology, and animal physi­ology.

All persons who have sufficient training and expe­rience to work in any of these highly critical fields are urged to communicate at once with Dr. Homer L. Dodge, Director, Office of Scientific Personnel, Na­tional Research Council, 2101 Constitution Avenue, Washington, 25, D. C.

This Office has been set up in the National Re­search Council to render a highly personal service in finding men and women for positions in those scien­tific and technical fields in which the greatest short­ages exist.

The Creed of A Hero In the "Gold Star" Alumni columns of the March-

April issue of this publication, there were carried the only too few lines of honor and gratitude on those of our alumni who, at that time, had given their all for the just cause of everything fine and noble in life. Among those gallant heroes was Lieutenant Guyton Christopher, Georgia Tech 1940, U. S. Army Air Corps, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul J. Christopher of Decatur, Georgia. In the late spring, this young immortal hero, in the early fullness of his life, then in the South Pacific, wrote his mother:

"A soldier's life is a good and useful life. I would rather be here than anywhere else in the world,, where history is being made and the destiny of my country is being decided. And if it comes to death, it is the most glorious way to die." Again he wrote from Australia:

"At home they used to complain about rising prices, no tires, gas rationing. I've seen little spots in the ocean where men (American boys) have been for months with no movies, no cars to ride in, no girls to date, no magazines or newspapers. These boys know what it is to serve and sacrifice. One tropical island had only one tree. At another it rains cats and dogs nearly every day. Voluntarily or involuntarily these boys are giving up a portion of their lives for their country. It is their duty to do so, but those at home should be willing to work like dogs to see that these boys get what is needed to do the job they must do, or all of this will have been endured in vain. Unless we all realize the gravity of the situation, we may awaken to find that a pleasant dream has turned into a living nightmare."

Virtually a creed, valiantly stated; and so typically the faith and thoughts of his heroic compatriots who are gloriously "carrying on" for him and with him.

An editorial in the Atlanta Journal, during late April, carried young Christopher's letter and so feel­ingly expressed what is in the hearts of all, in these closing paragraphs of their tr ibute to him:

"These words, deeply thoughtful from one in the May and morning of life, bid us all to look into our hearts and measure our faith and works by his. He was gently bred, well educated and not of robust physique; more suited, it would seem, for an intellec­tual career than for the rigors and perils of war. But he longed for heroic action, and by patient self-disci­pline built up his body to the requirements for enlist­ment in the United States Army.

"Such was the military career of Lieutenant Guy-ton Christopher, to whom the Silver Star and the Purple Heart Medal have been posthumously award­ed. As one of the immortal thousands of boys who have given 'the last full measure of devotion' that our country may continue free and that our world may be fit for human kind, he has left us a gospel that we should ponder well, now and in the times ahead: 'Those at home should be willing to work to see that these boys get what is needed to do the job that they must do, or all of this will have been en­dured in vain'."

Weddings and Engagements-Concluded nized September 26, 1943, at the Peachtree Christian Church in Atlanta. Mr. Tyler was in the class of 1944 while at Georgia Tech. He is now stationed in San Antonio, Texas.

34 THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMN US November-December, 1943

Tech 20, North Carolina 7 Georgia Tech's football season started with a fine

victory Saturday, September 25, when the Jackets ran over favored North Carolina for a 20 to 7 victory.

The Tarheels fumbled in the first five minutes of the game, and Tech recovered to run the ball over for a score, resulting from a pass from Broyles to Gene Hill.

Then, in the early part of the third quarter, Tech again profited from a fumble. Prokop bucked the line for this score, following one of the most spectacular plays of the game, a perfectly executed fake featur­ing Logan and Broyles.

Throughout the game the Tarheel backfield gave the Jacket line a hard pummeling, scoring finally in the third quarter. Not until the last few minutes did Tech feel secure in its lead.

In one of its last quarter drives down the field, the Tarheel team tried to buck for a final down on fourth down, but Gene Hill, the alert Jacket left end, came in fast for a tackle.

As Tech took over, Prokop ran the first play. It was a super play. He shot through the right side of the line and, outrunning all the Tarheel team, sprint­ed 79 yards for the final score.

It would be hard to pick out the stars of the game, for the whole team played well. The end positions were well secured by Gene Hill and Kilzer. Harper and Smith at guards, Steber and Furchgott at tackles, Bell and Wakefield at the center, made up the line. The backfield sparkled with the brilliant running, blocking and tackling of Prokop, Logan, Faulkner, Broyles and Scharfschwerdt.

Though winning the game, the Jackets were short on statistics, making only -5 first downs to North Carolina's 14. Tech gained 142 yards rushing and 53 passing to the Tarheels' 210 rushing and 18 pass­ing. However, Tech took over three of N. C.'s fum­bles and lost none.

Notre Dame 55, Tech 13 There could hardly have been more excitement

and thrills packed into the first half of the game played in South Bend October 2 between Tech and Notre Dame. Midway in the first quarter the Irish squad began to roll, breaking through the Tech 7-2-2 defense, and going 84 yards with Mello scoring the touchdown. The Irish scored again early in the sec­ond quarter from a toss by Bertelli to Rykovich through a changed Jacket 5-4-2 defense.

But Tech was by no means out of the ball game. The Engineers opened up in the air with Prokop sending and Dorough and Kilzer receiving and Scharfschwerdt bucked the 61st yard for the touch­down. A few minutes later Tech scored their second touchdown by virtue of a blocked kick deep in Irish territory and a pass from Broyles to Logan in the end-zone. Failing to convert, Tech trailed 13-14.

The Irish took the kick-off and with their power­house line and backs ripping the new Tech 6-2-2-1 defense, marched 70 yards to score. It was now Tech's turn and with only a few minutes left in the half they had driven down to the Irish ten-yard stripe. Tech attempted to score three times by passes but they were incomplete and the half ended 21-13.

In the last half Tech was still unable to stop the Green horde and when the game ended Notre Dame had counted three times in the third quarter and twice in the fourth, making the final score 55-13.

Tech 35, Athens Pre-Flight 7 Tech defeated the University of Georgia Pre-Flight

team, 35-7, Saturday, October 9. The Jackets had the situation well in hand at all times, and it was only late in the game and against third-stringers that the Flyers were able to break through Tech's strong de­fense and score.

The first Tech score came early in the first period, when Prokop heaved a 45-yard pass to Logan on the 10-yard line, and Mickey covered the remaining dis­tance to score.

In the second quarter. Pre-Flight, failing to gain on three plays, attempted to punt out of danger from their own 20. However, the hard-charging Tech for­wards rushed in and blocked the kick, Furchgott re­covering for a touchdown.

In the third stanza, after several exchanges, Tech took the ball on downs on Pre-Flight's 47. Prokop gained 25 around left end, and on the next play Scharfschwerdt went inside tackle, swung wide around the secondary, and scored standing up. Pro­kop converted.

In the last quarter, Tech marched from their own 23 to Athens' 13, with Ritter, Logan and Harrison alternating at tailback. Logan scored on the old "Statue of Liberty" play, and Ritter converted.

The Skycrackers took to the air after the kick-off and drove 71 yards for a touchdown.

Bourne intercepted a Nolte pass and ran it back to the Athens 6. Two passes and a line buck having failed, Brown threw a short pass to Duck Smith, who ran across for the score.

Tech 27, 300th Infantry 0 Outstanding performance by Eddie Prokop and his

teammates left the Sabers of the 300th Infantry from Fort Benning defeated, 27 to 0, at Tech, Oct. 16.

The Infantrymen, whose coaches—Captain Bob Friedlund, Captain Ermal Allen and Captain Joe Routt—played most of the game, wheeled a slashing rush line into position, with every slot manned by former college stars. Yet there was just one weak spot in their defense: the Infantrymen had no setup to stop Tech's pass to the right end. Every time the Engineers got in a tight spot in the first half Prokop threw to Walter Kilzer, the long-legged end who came in from Vanderbilt, and, brother, he never missed. Five times the pass whizzed away and five times it connected for yardage of 11, 11, 12, 8 and 2. The last one was good for the lone touchdown of the first half made just before intermission.

The Engineers came back with that small lead in hand and pretty soon Prokop pulled out the same pass, this time to J im Durrough, a substitute end from Cordele, who has been playing a bang-up game ever since the Notre Dame affair. Durrough took Prokop's toss in the clear and trotted unhindered 29 yards for the second touchdown.

Kilzer returned to let Durrough catch his breath and grabbed another of Prokop's tosses to start the Engineers on their way again. Prokop set 'em up with a slashing drive off tackle for 21 yards down the sidelines and then Claude Harrison, a Vandy trans­fer, bucked it over from the 7 in two smashes.

Tex Ritter intercepted a pass from Al Solari, a Rose Bowl star for UCLA last January, and rushed it along to the 17. Then he handed the ball off to R. W. Gaston, our home-grown wingback, on a fake pass and Gaston went to the 5. From there Ritter plunged for the fourth touchdown.

Navy 28, Tech 14 A strong Navy eleven led by Hal Hamberg downed

the Yellow Jackets by a score of 28 to 14 in a night game in Baltimore Saturday, October 23.

In the first quarter Tech had two good chances to score, but failed both times. Hamberg hooked a very poor punt out of bounds at Navy's 20—the third big chance for Tech, deep in Navy territory.

Prokop was nailed for a 13-yard loss by Whitmire, trying to pass, and then he passed to Gaston for a gain of 10 yards. Prokop slashed off right end to the Navy 18, and then, smothered on an attempt to pass, he cut around right end to the Navy 9 and a first down, a great recovery.

Prokop went in for four yards, and then on a spin­ner Whitmore and Brown nailed him for a three-yard loss. Prokop faded and slung a touchdown pass to Kilzer in the end zone, a beautiful play down the alley. Prokop kicked the point.

Navy came back early in the second quarter and scored after a long drive of 90 yards. Again in the second quarter Navy scored after Hume intercepted one of Prokop's passes deep in Tech territory. Both extra points were good. In the third quarter the Jackets began to roll once more. On fourth down on the Navy three, Prokop lateraled to Brown and he slipped over for the touchdown. Prokop kicked the extra point, tying the score. Navy came back in the fourth to score twice more, making the final score 28 to 14.

Duke 14, Tech 7 Duke dropped two long-distance forward passes

into Georgia Tech's defense Saturday afternoon, Oc­tober 30, on Grant Field to take top rating among Southern football teams by a score of 14 to 7.

Duke took the lead early in the first auar ter after Buddy Luper, Duke's own halfback from Rocky Mount, N. C , had pitched a 50-yard pass to Loyd Blount, a fellow Marine transferred from Mississippi State. Blount was flagged on Tech's 4, but Tom Davis, a home-grown fullback and the Navy's own, bucked it across on the second try. Bob Gantt came in to kick the extra point and moved right out again.

The Blue Devils nursed that lead and fought off every Engineer attack until late in the second quar­ter, when they were caught down on their 14-yard line and had to punt. Tackle Bill Smith burst through and blocked Davis' kick. The ball flew high and Buster Beall, of Atlanta. Tech guard, beat the Blue Devils to it on Duke's 7.

On second down, Eddie Prokop, Tech's big gun, tossed a lateral to Joe E. Brown, Plant City fresh­man halfback, who raced to goal behind a screen of blockers led by Guard John Steber. Prokop kicked the point to tie the score.

And it looked like a tie game until Choke Carver, a Durham sailor, intercepted a Tech pass early in the fourth. From Tech's 36 on the second play, Spook Murphy, a Marine from Mississippi State, shot a high touchdown pass to Carver, and Gantt kicked goal.
