SATURDAY. FEBRUARY i8 1939 Maroon and Gold PAGE THREE Rambling WITH Frank Donovan This is really a banner time of the year for sports enthusiasts of every variety. Basketball is at its championship height, off sea son football is in full swing, and baseball and tennis are just around the well known corner. Everyone is well acquainted with the go ings on on the hardwood. A victory tonight over High Point will just about sew up the pennant for the cannonade, but a loss will see the bunting flying over the Panther institution. Captain Ike Fesmire really set us right last Monday on that Appalachian affair, and we’re hoping he’ll do the same in the all important tilt tonight. We’re going to string along with Ike and pick the Christians for many reasons: First of all, the boys are really ■clicking now. The Appalachian game was proof enough. With all that young blood on the outfit it wasn’t a cinch to work out plays and get real team work in the beginning of the season. Second, these young bloods have gained much valuable experience, and are playing in a much cooler manner of late. Third, the boys will be playing on the home court which will mean a lot. At High Point rthere was a definitely partisan crowd due to the “prosperity” ad mission charge. Then too, there were the glass backboards with ■which the boys weren’t familiar. Yes sir. this second game will be VETy much different from the first in many ways besides the score. ^ Link Manzi turned in a remarkable performance against Appa lachian despite his twisted knee. Hobson really put on some bursts of speed that had us all gaping. Ike Fesmire, besides playing a fine all around game, was the steadying influence. John Pearce was as usual brilliant in grabbing those re-bounds. Max Zivith and Jack Gardner continue to be the main scoring threats, and are doing mighty well in their particular line. From the football front there isn’t much sensational news. The fundamentals of the game are being stressed mainly, with a special emphasis being placed on blocking. There is a possibility that a scrimmage game will be arranged with one of the big five teams. If such an affair works out, the game will most likely be played the latter part of this month or the first week in March. CHRISTIAN SPORTS PANTHERS TO BE MET TONIGHT Spring- Football Shows Some Possible Fillers For Squad Vacancies Many New Faces Appear 'A« Result of Practice. College Gym The Scene Of Valentine Party Thursday Night Presented By Freshman Class Hearts and throbs were seen in the college gym on Thursday night. This was the supposed Valentine party which happened to be a lit tle late. That was aU right be cause it was a great affair. The gym was decorated in appropriate trimmings of all sorts. This was the best sight we’ve seen this year done by the decorating commit tees. We extend our congratula tions to those hard working fresh men. The committees that were responsible for the success of this affair were made up of “Shorty” Corey, Decoration lead er: Angie Henry, refreshments. Games were taken care of by Catherine Evans, and finances by Jack Boone. Nice going, boys and gals, because you all sure know how to put something on. Let’s hope that the rest of the students take notice of this happening. Both classes had a wonderful time and they were all dressed in their best clothes even if they had to go and borrow a shirt or two. Music was furnished by that evergoing Charlie Hamrick and his Swingsters who put forth all their ability to shake the jitter- I bugs loose. Run! Block! Tackle, Comeon. you’re loafing. All these familiar phrases are heard from one end of the gridiron to the other. Coaches Hendrickson and Pow ers are doing their best to find a bunch of boys to fill in the va cancies left open by the gradua tion of Hurst at tackle; Brannon at guard; Israel at center: Shelter at blocking back; Kazlow at full back; West as a reserve. These vacancies have to be filled. By whom? Well that is what we are waiting to see. Let’s wait and see what will happen. Practice has rounded into the third week and we found many new faces and future stars in the “new-grounders” as we call them. Such names as Askin, Carter, Leatherwood, Bradley,, Goodes, Hayes, Mullenax, Stokes, Melvin, Fuller, CaruUo, Windgard, Aus tin, Looney, and Castura. These are some names that are unfami liar to us as yet but not for long because some of them have shown some sparks that are already burn ing. Luck to you, boys, and as for the rest — well, we hope to find you in the limelight soon. It was announced by Coach ! Hendrickson that a possible inter squad game will be played as soon as we have some suitable , weather. We hope that it will be I soon because we want to see the future stars of “The Cannonading ; Christians” in their various roles I doing their best for their Alma I Mater.

For the past two weeks the girls have really been practicing and playing basketball. Some of them took advantage of this sport in high school, while the others gave, what is essential to every winning team, their cheering sup- 'f^rt Now, all of them are partic ipating nn the two combined. Mrs. Hendrickson selected four captains from her classes, and then gave these girls the opportunity of choosing their own players from the group. From the 2:30 to 3:30 class she appointed June Murphy and Lila Budd Stephens, and from ♦he 3:30-to 4 30 class, Mary Ruth McDade and Ruth Anderson. There are to be eleven games and the team winning the first six is the fhampion of that class. The two teams to reach the limit of six games will then play each other. So far four games have been play ed. Stephens’ team has won all four games. Murphy keeps the spirit of her group going by say ing, “That’s all right, girls. We’ll ‘whup’ ’em next time”. Anderson’s team won the first game against McDade’s by a mere one point. But Mary Ruth hasn't let it happen again. She kept push ing her girls and has come out victorious from the other three. The next games will be Tuesday at 2:30 and 3:30. The Elon High School has issued a challenge for a game with the girls. As you all know, they beat the girls last year, at Elon, and feel very proud of it. They have also won every game they’ve play ed this season. So we have good competition. Their principal is anxiously waiting for the game to take place, and to see if there’s any improvement either way. So Mrs.Hendrickson has arranged for Elon to play them next week. The six girls to go in as first-string have not, as yet, been selected. Evelyn Holmes will referee the game. She has refereed several of the games at the High School and also the contestant games. She knows her basketball very well, and we know she will call a clean game.

Coach Hendrick son will in all probability rely upon the services of Captain Ike Fesmire and Jack Gardner to take over the forward posts; John Hen ry Pearce to handle the center Slot, and Lincoln Manzi and Max Zyvith to start at the guard as signments. Leading the Panthers into the skirmish will be Captain Red Towery who for the eighth time in his career lines up against the Christians. Hugh Hampton, giant six feet, six inch pivotman, is a definite offensive threat, as is the fast tricky Morton Samet. The Probable Starters Pos.
