THE SALEMITE
Friday, October 7, 1938.
ACCORDING
HOLDER
Now that the World Series is
about over (that’s our guess Tliurs-
day morning) there is nothing be
tween us and the November hockey
games but four week-ends of foot
ball — and, of course, four weeks
of impatient waiting for four week
ends.
This Saturday the schedules really
get underway. The opening games
against weaker opponents have
tested the .sophomores in their first
shock of battle, and there has been,
time for coaches to repair weak
places in organization which the
opening encounters have revealed.
Easily the major attraction this
week-end for Salem students is the
Carolina-Tulane tilt at Chapel Hill,
Loyalty, prejudice, and honest con
viction have placed our confidence
in the boots of Lalanne and Radman.
It’s TTomecoming in Cliapel Hill, and
we’ll gee you there.
Duke shuffles off to Buffalo for a
return bout with Colgate. La.st
year’s odds give the Dukes the same
edge that Carolina holds over Tulane.
Again our patriotism speaks for the
Southern Conference team, despite
the jKJSsimism of Wallace Wade.
Our Knoxville girls will be watch
ing the Tennessee lads defend the
home' ground against Auburn. The
(idds are with Auburn, but it’s time
for Tennessee to stage a comeback.
Here’s wishful thinking, Tennessee.
Doe Newton’s boys go deep down'
in Dixie to meet Alabama Saturday.
Last week’s showing against Caro
lina hardly did justice to the State
strength, but at their best they will
have tough going at Tuscaloosa.
Wake ,'Forest Deacons are set for
an aerial attack on South Carolina.
The Gamecocks, with a slight edge,
will probably .stay on the ground.
The Davidson- Erskine game Fri
day is already history to you, as is
the High Point- Guilford contest.
This week’s games are only appe
tizers. Duke fans, remembering the
thrilling one-point victory over Geor
gia Tech last year, will be in Dur
ham next Saturday. Their number
may be swelled by Tar Heels for
whom the N. Y. IT. game is too far
away. The big games start in the
north and west: Northwestern and
Ohio State, Minnesota and Michigan,
Harvard and Army.
On the twenty-second Salem stu
dents will have a Southern Confer
ence game in their own backyard.
This should be a noteworthy event,
with Duke, Wake Forest, Salem Col
lege ,and Winston-Salem joining to
dedicate the new stadium. Wake
Forest still smarts under the 67-0 de
feat of last year. Don’t let that spoil
the party for you; maybe Duke will
bring along better manners since
Salem is to be there. On the same
day loyal sons of Davidson go home
to play host to Carolina. In the north,
it’s Illinois and Northwestern, Notre
Dame and Carnegie Teeh.
Climax of the season’s excitement
is unquestionably the meeting of
Duke and Carolina at Chapel Hill on
the twenty-ninth. It will probably
determine the Southern Conference
championship again. We don’t dare
predict; we scarcely dare breathe,
and neither will you when the game
is started. But we’ll .be singing
"Sweet Lalanne.”
Both Carolina and Duke journey
northward on the twelfth of Novem
ber, Carolina to seek revenge for
Fordham’g two touchdowns last year
and Duke to meet Syracuse for the
first time. On the same day the
Wolf-Pack entertains Detroit at Bal-
Gigb. Tf none of those claims your
interest, there’s Notre Dame and
Minnesota for tops in the west.
Games of longstanding tradition
include Yale-Harvard on November
17, North Carolina-Virginia on
Thanksgiving Day, and Army-Navy
on the twenty-sixth. To close the
season in the south there are Geor-
gia-Georgia Tech at Athens - and
Duke-Pittsburgh at Durham on the
twenty-sixth.
So there’s your card. Get out the
fur jacket and the boy friend.
There’s more excitement than Joan
of Arc ever had going to the ware.
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT,
ANYWAY?
7i
(Dedicated to those of us who are
.still wondering about that mys
terious thing called football.)
Of course, you’ve all heard the one
about the Dumb Dora who went to
the Army-Navy game with the boy
friend, and who in the middle of
the third quarter, when the score
was 7-7, asked him to take her home
“ ’cause her feet were cold.’’
Seriously, girls, all of us have
Iicaps of fun at the games (looking
at the clothes), but we’d enjoy it
a lot more, and the dates would too,
if we knew what the game was all
about. This Dumb Dora got out the
Enclyclopedia — *0 she could find
out a little about the game and im
part her subsequent knowledge to
you all. Here are just a few of
the most frequently and often most
mysterious terms used.
There’s the safety man (he’s not
always one Miss Lawrence approvers
of, though), who is the player on de
fense who plays farthest back as a
final defense to the goal; he is the
player on offense who follows the car
rier for the purpose of retrieving a
possible fumble.
Then there is that mysterious thing
called the “down,” (you know —
Ted Husing — “It’s the third down
and only five yards to go, etc.), which
is the completion of a play ,or the
ce..sation of play by the referee, or
is caused by the ball automatically
becoming dead.
Finally, there’s the interference
(not radio static) which is tactics
deploying players in advance of the
carrier to prevent opponents from
tackling..
To tell you the truth, I read a
whole book on the stuff, at the di
rection of my long suffering brother,
but this is all that I remembered.
However, I did write down this
chart — so I’ll let you get a look at
it too. „

THIS GAME CALLED
HOCKEY
With the beginning of hockey
practice, I decided to take a look
around and see the propeets of this
year’s team. First, I looked up the
owner of those flying feet and black
and yellow striped socks — none oth
er than Caroline Pfohl, co-captain of
last year’s junior team. She im
mediately made it known that the
so-called dignified seniors were out
to win the cup. They tied last year’s
seniors for the cup, and since all
their players with the exception of
Mary Grier Kenner and Betty Bahn-
son are back, they stand a good
chance this year.
Hutchison, Bowen, Pfohl, McNeely,
McCarty (last year’s other co-cap
tain)^ and Grantham are only a few
examples of the strength of the sen
ior team . Maybe they will fulfill
their threat.
Next I encountered Jane Kirk,
another enthusiastic hockey player
who has distinguished herself as one
of Salem’s best. When I asked her
about the prospects of the junior
team, she seemed to be a little down
hearted because of all the players
who hadn’t returned. Among these
and Chevalier de Bayard may be
found in the lists at Chapel Hill even
as at Marignano, “sans~penr~^
sans reproche.”
missing are B. Hatt, Nancy Court,
Prather Sisk, Bonnie Bay, Germaine
Gold, Mary Lib Walston, and Ce-
cila McKeithan; but Pitzer, Baynes,
Sanford, Kale, Rogers and Kirk are
still here and are preparing to work
like Trojans to build up a winning
team . Good luck to you. Juniors!
When I got down to the sophomore
team, I was puzzled about what per
son to interview, for both of last
year’s captains, Jane Nash and Mary
Baldwin, are missing this year. Then
I saw Sallie Emerson, the little blond
who skoots around the field like a
piece of greased lightning, and we
fell to discussing this year’s team.
Naturally the team will be handi
capped by the loss of its captains as
well as Ruth Cleary, Nell Holt, Doris
Langston, Margaret Betty Gillespie,
and numerous others, but the Sopho
mores have already shown their
fighting spirit, and so we can be as
sured that this spirit will continue
in the forms of McGehee, Emerson,
Sartin, and others. The sophomores
are still a little green to the game,
but they will doutless make rapid
improvements and give strong com
petition to the other teams.
My last try was to third floor of
Clewell, where I wandered from room
to room asking the freshmen just
what they knew about this game
called hockey.. In every case except
one I g^t practically the same answer
— that they didn’t know the first
LEAKS FROM THE
LOCKER ROOM
Hear ye — hear ye •— another
hockey season was launched Monday
afternoon as “At” pressed out her
carefully stored chiffon streamer
and rolled out the ball. I think
about twenty-five of us were down
and the green of the field was dotted
with specs of blue, yellow, pink (a
very bright pink, too), black, .red,
and white •— pardon me if I left you
out. Some of the costumes were
amusing. For instance there were
three formerly hardy Seniors who
had tlieir legs entirely covered by
slacks. It’s hard to believe they
already feel the autumn chill, or
did they get Garbo complexes this
summer? Two of the Freshmen were
still in civil dres« though they were
thing about the game, but that
they’d like to learn. But in the case
of Priscilla Dean I found a true
veteran of the game. Priscilla hails
from Philadelphia where she played
four years on her high school team,
at left inner. She said she just
loved the game, and that she en
joyed playing it much more than she
(lid ba.sketball. Moreover, she add
ed that even though hockey was new
to most of the freshmen, they were
planning to beat the seniors — and
that’s saying a lot!
You know to be good, one must
practice time and time again. So
come on down and let’s see you de
velop that championship team I’ve
been hearing about.
not wearing them very visibly. Ex
pect they’ll be in their new purple
and white outfits soon. Esther Alex
ander looked like one of the seveii
dwarfs in her red sweat suit, pants
and shirt.
While “At” and the girls were
running in formation (sonnds like
football), I glanced about and saw a
very pleasing spectacle; three of our
teachers Miss Perry, Mrs. Ogbume,
and Dr. Smith trying the golf course
and doing their own caddying.
Once more we journeyed out to the
Polo Field in “Mr. A’s” chariot
Tuesday afternoon and the new crop
of equestrians mfit Nell and Maud,
Mut and Bock, Whoppee and Zeb and
dear old Fred and Chief. Don’t re-
rnember seeing Topsy. Result of a
good hour’s drilling in the ring and
on the field: ten stiff girls who eased
into their Iccture chairs Wednesday,
rather than flopping down.
Have you joined the hiking outfit
yet? Last year they made profitable
tours of the C.oca-Cola Plant and lee
Cream Plant!
