By BILL FERGUSON Atlanta (U.PJ Georgia Tech considers Gator Bowl foe Pitts burgh one ill the toughest teams in the ration, but you'd never guess it from the casual and con finerA way the "Engineers are preparing for their record sixth raii;ht bowl appearance. The Engineers' will pass up most of their time for practicing i favor of a Jong Christmas va-1 cation. I hey re not exactly cocky even tifough Coach Bobby Dodd freely admits, that his once-beaten 1!56 team is .the best he's ever coached. Add to this the fact that Tech worPt scrimmage once before the Dec. 29 kickoff in Jacksonville, I Fid., and it might appear that I Dodd is taking Pittsburgh light ly. . Sixth Post-Season, Trip Iowever, it's bowl business as usual ft the veteran Tech team, which not only is making its six:. straight post-season trip but is looking for its sixth straight win. The Erineers will get in little more than one week of practice ind curing that time, Dodd will a stick to his regular season rule that limits all of the lough stuff 3 to Sat: day stadiiJm appear ances. After a 10-day Yule holiday, Tech probably will get in one or t'.fco days of practice before having for Jacksonville and theif second straight bowl mec-t-'ng wfth Pittsburgh. The system of not too much work before a bowl game has paid off for Doilri, who has man agtI seven wins in seven tries, including a 7-0 win over Pitts burgh isi, the Sugar Bowl last January. " Ratw '56 Team Best "I figur a team is just about as shrp as you can get it after ca full season," .Dodd said, "and it doesn't take too much work to make it stale. After all. they've "been, living football since Sep tember." Tiie Engineer head man, who has won 100 games and lost only 28 at Georgia Tech, rates the '56 4em superior even to his 1952 'tem which won 11 of 11 in the regular season and then swamped Mississippi in the Sugar BovW. . Although tle Engineers lost one game, 6-0 to Tennessee, they scored 227 points in 10 games "while holding the opposition to armere 33. . . cThe defensive strength is an chored by all Southeastern Con ference performers, guard Allen Ecker aad center Don Stephen son, and super-safety-man Wade Mitchell. Feature Running Game i Offensively, Tech features a ISAf 7W STOCK Corrvertible Tops Engineers running game with a wealth of halfbacks, George Volkert, John ny Menger and Paul Rotenberry to name a few. and fullbacks Ken Owen and Dickie Mattison. The passing of Mitchell and quarterback Toppy Vann keeps the opposing defense "honest." Tech will be in top physical condition with everybody ready to go. but despite outward ap pearances, isn't taking Pitt lightly. "Pittsburgh looks like one of the best teams we've faced this v ear, and certainly the rough est," Dodd said after watching the Panthers down Miami on tel evision. "They are improved over last year, with more speed and they gave us a fit in the Sugar Bowl." Tech beat Pitt by one touch down after a disputed pass inter ference call gave the Engineers the ball on the Pitt one and set up the game's only score.
