Humburg may not be ready for surgical
operations yet, but Coach Lewis was
right about one thing: Burt is very intelligent.
Burt's academic aspirations have
taken him to the University of Kansas
School of Medicine where he is now in
his first year. While at Southwestern he
maintained at 3.97 grade-point-average
in Biochemistry and said organizing his
priorities was the key to his success.
"When people see I was accepted into
medical school, well, a lot of that is just a
matter of sacrificing things. It could be a
choice between going out on a Satiu-day
night or staying home to study. I don't
watch television anymore. I've given up a
lot," said Humburg
To achieve his goals Humburg may
have sacrificed many things, but he has
no regrets. He got a late start in football
and felt he needed to study everything he
could to get ahead. He read books and
examined video tapes. Working hard
seems to be his motto.
"Anybody can do the things I've done.
True, some people may have more obstacles
to overcome. But God made us all
the same," said Humberg.
Ruimers-up for the Harmon-Rice
Davis Trophy were first runner-up Dave
Frakes, Georgia Tech '98, and second runner-up
Chad Buntin, Franklin '00.
Kicker Frakes was 12-16 for field goals
and 25-25 on extra points. Graduating
with a 3.67 GPA in electrical engineering,
he was elected to the All-ACC Academic
Team and was an Academic All-American
for the second year. Winning the
John B. Jackson Award, Frakes was recognized
for his involvement in the chapter,
IFC and on campus. He served on the
IFC Judicial Board and was heavily involved
in Georgia Delta's community service
projects.
Buntin, an offensive tackle, had a
blocking percentage of 90-100%. He was
voted the team's most valuable offensive
player and maintained a 3.2 GPA. Buntin
has also served Indiana Delta as the
chapter's steward and warden.

Harmon-Rice-Davis Trophy
Since 1957 an undergraduate member
has been recognized each year
for his achievements in his sport, in
scholarship, and in his chapter.
Tom Harmon, Michigan
'41, an All-American halfback
and Heisman winner,
proposed the award. He
originally intended it to
honor the memory of Harmon
Grantiand Rice, Vanderbilt '01, regarded
as the "dean of American
sports writers." The General Council
suggested the trophy honor both
famed Phis in the sports world.
In 1991, Dr. John Davis, Jr.,
Washburn '38, became the sponsor
of the trophy. In honor of his dedication
to the Fraternity, The Scroll and
the sports world, the trophy now
also bears his name.
