POINTERS ON POINTS Salem College Athletic Associa tion makes awards on a point system. If you have read your hand book, you may be familiar with that sys tem; but on the chance that perhaps you omitted the section on By-Laws under the Athletic Association, a more detailed explanation might in terest you at this time. If you know thoroughly the whole system and realize what rewards you may work for, it is possible and even probable that you will prod yourself on to more satisfying results and rewards in your athletic work. As was said before, awards are made on a point system. When you have accumulated twenty points, you receive a monogram, a huge yellow S. For thirty points, that is just ten more, you are eligible to receive a yellow star to wear with your S. For still another additional ten points, totaling forty, you are award ed a white sweater. Then if you continue to persevere, and earn be tween sixty and sixty-five points, you will become the proud pos.sessor of a blazer. In order to win a letter, star, sweater, or blazer, you must make varsity in one of the major sports, or excell in one of the in dividual or minor sports. You must make your points in more than one sport, too. Among the other prize awards is the Salem blanket. This is awarded fnch year to the girl, who earns the most i>oints. The blanket is white w=th a yellow strii)e and yellow S on it. No other award is more prized by Salem athletes. There are other special trophies given to girls who make varsity teams, for the first time, in the major sports, that is, in hockey and in basketball. (The mi nor sports are vollyball, soccer and baseball.) The varsity teams are se lected with special consideration given to attendance at practice, training, and sportsmanship. Tn the spring, loving cups are given to the tennis and riding champions. Ribbons denoting first, second and third places are also given in riding in both the beginners group and the more advanced group. No girl may receive a special trophy more than once. Well, it seems that points play quite an important part in athletics so just how do you go about earning them? In major sports, points are award ed as follows: To members of the varsity, two points; to members of the sub-varsity, one point; to mem bers of the class teams, three points; to a substitute on the class team, one point (a girl who plays in one and one-half games, or the equivalent is considered a member of the class team); to member of the champion teams, one point. In minor sports, points are award ed thus: To members of the varsity, one point; to members of a class team, one point. In the individual sports are tennis, swimming, riding, and hiking. The singles tennis champion receives four points; the runner-up, three points; players in the semi-finals, two points; all players who enter the tournament and do not default, one point. The doubles tennis champions receive three points; runners-up, two points; all players who enter the tournament and do not default, one point. In swimming the winner of first place in the water meet receives four points; winner of sceond place, three points; third place, two points; fourth place, one point; all who en ter the meet, one point. (A list of the requirements and points for the Min now, Sunfish, and Shark tests is in the Handbook.) To the winner of the first place in the spring horse show, class A, four points are awarded; second place, three points; third place, two points;, to all who enter the show, one point. In class B, the winner of first place receives three, points; second place, two points; all who enter, one point. Points in hiking are earned as fol lows; to all who take eight hikes, one of which must be a test hike, ATH-A-LETIC “SAL” I was down on the tennis courts today, and besides me, there was not a single soul there. What’s the matter people? Today was a luscious day for tennis — just warm enough, but not too warm — just cool enough but not too cool, and the skies were blue and everything. It seems to me that with a young tennis tourna ment on its first legs some of you would be down warming up for the big games. You know we all like to win and, of course, the best man—. Anyway when the tourna ment starts, let’s have it fun along quick and snappy because a droopy, draggy tennis tournament is one of the most uninteresting things I know of. If everybody rounds up her partner and opponents as soon as she sees who her opponents are, and plays her match immediately we’ll have a real tennis tournament and an interesting one, too. All of us who love hockey are sim ply “itching” to get out there and “gamble” on the green — and as soon as the tennis is done up, hockey will really begin which reminds me — we ’11 miss our capable hockey manager, namely “El” Ivy who de serted us for some other place this year. I don’t know but what her team mates will miss their left in ner even more than we- Who’ll take her place .luniors? We re.ally don’t know yet who will be manager, but some very capable girls have been mentioned — we’ll see. By the way, have any of you taken an “ at-a-leticly” minded look at that freshman class? It seems to me that they ought to have some sort of a rip-snorting husky team — will it be hockey? basket ball? Who can tell? Did all of you see the game in Greensboro or was it just three- fourths of you? I guess it was a fairly decent scramble, but dear lit tle Davidson lost. Remember every body watch the Salemite for football schedules week by week. They’ll help you keep things straight.

Why our Miss Minnie Atkinson, B.A., M.A., of course. Maybe you know her as Miss At, the head of the De partment of Physical Education, the professor of Physical Education. Don’t let her ever hear you call it “gj'm” either, my unenlightened ones). She came to Salem by way of North Carolina University and Co lumbia L’^niversity, hence the fond ness for New York and passion for Carolina. I don’t know where the passion for black hair and dai^k eyes comes in. Her favorite i>astime is eating. You know some people eat to live, others just eat. Anytime you can’t find her on the campus, and it’s nice weather, you may be pretty sure that she is either indulging in her fav orite sport, which is riding, or the runner-up, which is golf. Two years ago she held the Women’s Golf championship of this city. She says that last year she was too busy build ing the gym to enter the tournament. The grand new gymnasium is one of the many strides forward that has been made in the department since Miss Atkinson has been here. When she came to Salem there were only two tennis courts, a hockey field, and of course the hut. It seems very primitive to us now but not so long ago girls played on the hockey field in mid-vpinter with their feet all wrapped up in galoshes. A good look at the new uniforms is enough to convince anyone that Miss At has her eye on the comfort and well being of her girls. Woe be unto those same girls, how ever, if they wave their arms or hockey sticks like chiffon streamers and fail to use their head for any thing other than a place to park their hats. One of her pet hates is attempts at bulling especially on written work, so beware all you bull slingers. She likes a good joke and revels in the beauty of sunsets and mountains, especially in the fall of the year. Her favorite books are biographies. Few people realize the diversity of sports on which she is an authority. She has attended some of the exhibi tions of sports ranging from tennis at Forest Hills, Long Island, to the aquatic sports at Miami, Florida. She believes Salem should have more individual sports such as bad minton and should have some facil ities for golf. Questioned about this year’s crop of athletes she replied, ‘ ‘ All I can say is I’m impressed by their size, but in another six weeks I’ll be able to tell whether their feet are stuck in cement or not.” Come on girls let’s show her some speed this year. EDDIE DOOLEY BACK ON THE AIR STATE THEATRE Monday and Tuesday It’s a sure sign the football season is on again. Dartmouth’s famous All-American quarterback, Eddie Dooley, is back on the air over the Columbia Coast-to-Coast Network every Thursday and. Saturday with his last-minute football news. The makers of Chesterfield Ciga rettes, sponsors of Eddie Dooley, are certainly making a ibow to the wide interest in sports news. Their base ball series this year, with Paul Doug- ’ las, satisfied fans North, East South and West, and the Dooley football progams will be on a larger scale than ever before, necessitating two complete talks on each broadcast date; one at 6:30 P. M., New York Time for the East and Middle West, and one at 8:30 P.M., New York Time to cover the games for the fans in the Rocky Mountain States and the Far West. In addition to firing away each Thursday with his uncanny predic tions of the week-end results and reviewing the highlights of the games each Saturday, Dooley plans to have leading football coaches and authorities as guests on his programs from time to time. And speaking of authorities, Dooley himself is con sidered by football followers as one of America’s outstanding experts on jthe game. Jock Sutherland, the well-known Pittsburgh mentor once remarked that Eddie Dooley had done more for the game of football than any former college star he knew of. At the present time, in addi tion to being constantly in demand for magazine articles on football, Ed die Dooley is holding down an im portant berth in the sports depart ment of the New York Sun in asso ciation with well-known sports writ ers like Grantland Rice and George Trevor. His training and background as one of the outstanding field gen erals the East ever produced, has given him remarkable insight into the whys and wherefores of football plays and his judgment on football news makes his broadcasts far be yond ordinary interest. The Eddie Dooley football pro grams bid fair to be top-notch sports programs in every respect, even to the personality of the announcer, Paul Douglas, who is himself one of radio’s best-known sports commenta tors and carried the baseball banner for Chesterfield on the Columbia net work all through the 1937 season. The big kick-off of the week for football followers comes when the whistle blows for Eddie Dooley every Thursday, and the pay-off will come the following Saturdays when the fans tune in to see if Dooley’s dope was right. Mother: How many students at tend your college, Son? Son: Oh, about one in every ten. ‘The Devil is Driving’ Dix. Richard one point; for each eight hikes there after, one point. (A hike must be at least three miles long.) You may win points for practice in both major and minor sports. One point is awarded to those who attend three-fourths of the practices. Seniors and Juniors who do not at tend thirty per cent of the called practices of a sport will not receive any points in that sport, but may play on the team. Sophomores and Freshmen who do not attend forty per cent of the called practices of a sport will not receive points in that sport but may play on the team. Now, come on old girls and new, vou want to be one of those winning a trophy or reward this year. Wednesday and Thursday ‘Charlie Chan on Broadway” - Warner Oland. Friday and Saturday ‘Hopalong Cassidy Rides Again’ — William Boyd.
