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.

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!

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.

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 part to the conversation at the taWe will make ever>-one happier. 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. CORlX)H MAXS.IHO Flasli!
