gilt with the w-eather was
-i ,-irm for stiff work-outs;
. despite this, nearly all the
., put forth moat of their ef-
to prove their worth to Coach
j hu eyes.
Well, regardless of the outcome
■j send behind the boys and
h ind do our part to put out
ttimuni! club.
SotiWl IS over and it looked

than for Phi K.ippa Alpha,
placed him in my hats off
pjitment.
With some of the boys in the
up vnth Lassiter. Smith, and
,-k« 1 don’t see an>'thing to keep
i irooi hanng a well-balanced
:: club—probably a winning one.
L)-be Coach Herring can mold
iggregation into a team for
-u'umiiig. If present plans ma-
ulut, there will be a game on
j: Jay with Camp Davis.
Well, let's all step up and help
;h get his Bulldogs ready for
6rst engagements. Let’s sup
r; them one hundred percent.
Well, I’ve already stated that
riy all the boys were doing their
, but this doesn’t seem enough
me in most instances. If you re-
I member I predicted m my last ir
‘ ucle that a majority of the fresh
men prospects would prove unprc
pared for our fast-steppmg vanety,
and it seems to toe that my idea is
beginning to matenah*;. Of coursc
there are a few who are holduig
up well and lookmg very good
in the first fe wwork-outs; W’al
ters, Thomas. Howell, Orantham,
and Colombo, just to mention a
few.
1 he date is not definite, but it
is a sure bet that the varsity boys
wiil put oil the old rubber shoes
and sliuits and parade on the hard
wood again before long—within
the next week or two. There will
be plenty of hard work and lots of
sweating before the first game, but
1 have an ide-a that the first game
will be all A. C, C no matter
Wlmin they play. A. C. C. ha»
some very good propsccts. Seven
of last year s stars are back and
also i^utte a parade of freshmen
aiiU upperclass hopetuls. Among
those leturning are 'Pro" Lassi
ter, Joliiinie hicks, "Steve" Hous
ton, Ed Smith, L. C. Davis and
Iroy (jodwin. Some of the most
promising hopefuls are ''Vince"
Colombo, Kether Kelley, Henry
Walters, Joe HoUiday and Howard
and Howel.
Well boys, here is to a great
and promising season.
ALL-STAR TEAM PICKED NOW
IV. o4. qA.
Another month has passed and
re I am fresh from the press
am giving you the W. A. A
On Friday, September 28,
mectuig was held of all active
-beri and the freshmen girls.
: this ume Rachel Glover, presi-
■nt. mtroduced the cabinet meni-
to the freshmen. The consti-
uoii and the point system were
pliincJ Before a girl can be-
tno in artive member she must
ve 300 points; to receive a mon-
ran; slie must have 1,000 points,
! for every 500 points above 1,-
jhe receives a star.
The tennis tournament is un-
ay at present, and from the
of things there is going to be
stiff competition before the
-ncr can be chosen. I just want
warn the upper-classmen that
ot the freshmen girls are
Icnty good, so you had better get
“c practice before you encoun
ter your opponent. Maggie Glover
was last year’s champion and we
I are just keeping our fingers cross
ed as Jo who will bear the title
this year. You never can tell
what will turn up.
The class tournament in volley
ball begins soon. Seems as il
there is a lot of wondering going
on, but we just wonder what kind
of material the freshmen have.
Will they be strong enough £o
overcome the class of 43, twice
champions? Time will tell.
The W. A. A. cabinet has
chosen Novaline Long as freshmen
A. B. sports 'leader, asd Margaret
■'Little Butch’’ Barwick as Com
mercial leader. Freshmen girls,
work with your leader and make
the class ot ’45 the champions!
Girls you’re co-operating won
derfully with the W. A, A.- just
keep up the good work!

Eniphasuing the difference he-

It had advised local boards
'TOem and not the fact that the

that there are shortages, or pros

who were preparing for these oc

tional Headquarters said:
"If a local board determine-s
that a particular student registrant
is in training and preparation to
perform a function which the na
tional interest requires should be
performed, and that at the time
such student will begin to perform
that function there will be a
shortage of persons qualified to
perform such function, it should
defer such student. It should be
clearly understood that it is th-;

Abow are the ofbcul i>ianduigs

tourney which vk-ould have read
much differently had a seventh

enough.
A great climax ol tlie si-ason oc
curred in the championship game
Ivtween the Phi Kappa's and
Freslimen Just like tlie season, the
final game was "nip and tuck" all
the way. Nes-cr more than three
run* K-parated the teams, and the
last half of the 7th the freshnwn
carried a two-rim lead. With two
out, the freshmen powibilities ^f
a clumpionahip seemed quite like

- a uack, a hit, anothei hit, an
addl'd run and then a walk and
then a hit by "Raniey" Wilkei

home plate to bnng "clumpioii-
sliip glory" to Phi Kappa Alplu

Baseball season is already gone,
but not Its memories Memories
arc great tilings and they enable
me to tell you this story of the
success of tvk-o A. C. C. baseball
stars dunng the past summer, Pete
Biyant, one of the most able stars
to play with A. C. C. during
the past few years, and a swell
guy liked over all the campus,
la the first subject of my memo
ries.
I’ete halls from Rieh Squ,ire,
N, C , where he played a great
brand of high school ball. Here
at A C. C. last year he contin
ued on tlie glory road by becom-
ing pri>bably the best hurler among
(xiacli Herring's Basi-ball Acro
bats. Pete, although he does not
r.ink very high in won and lost.
IS a granite block in Q^ch Herr
ing's Kis b.ll! plan* for the com
ing bass-ball year Last year Pete
won one and then during tlie game
with Catwalw was hit by a line
drive into the fa,.e After that
lie lost three.
During the summer I’ete played
iA-mi- pro with one of tlu- teams
ill the Virginia »cmi-pro league
In this league Pete won six and
lost six. It was in the final game
of the season that Pete reached
top form. In this game Pete wal
loped his opponents 20-0 while
allowing only two hiU.
But Pete was not the only A,
C, (' star who played hall during

Please don't think me an awful
grouch, but tliere are a majority
of students who agree with me
So from now on let s take eating
3 little more slowly and a little
more politely.
A JUNIOR
the summer Ed Smith is tlie otlier
subject of my memories.
Ed is tile catcher of the A, C
C. baseball Acrobats, and take my
word for it. he did an admirable
job. Ed IS a beany hitter and is
very valuable to tlie team. During
tlie summer Ed pLiyed semi jiru
with three different teams Firsl
he played a sliort while with one
of tlie teams in the Virginia semi-
pro league. After that lie played
a sliort while witii Warsaw in the
Caruluu Semi-Pro tournament and
then tvith Kenly, Ed made quite
a record with these three team*
and was considered a valuable
player. Next year Ed should be
another one of 0>ach Herring's
granite blocks,
Tliese two boys are just sopho
mores and are first string b,i>-''
ball and basketball starters and
\Vill be for the next three years
unless I miss my guess.
Well, boys, more power to you
and liere's to anotlier grand season
of basketbBlI and baseball.
