I was able to think up a few good reasons why a res taurant should advertise in our annual—which was more than I could do for the Pyramid Life In surance Company or the Bank of Charlotte, also on my list. So off to the Mecklenburg I went. Mr. Montet was back in his office, which I soon discovered was a glassed in comer of the kitchen. I barged in like an eager-beaver and the fun began. It was about two o’clockMn the afternoon and all the kitchen workers were busily washing lunch dishes. The noise was comparable to that made by Davidson fans after our one lone touchdown during the Homecom ing Game. Yelling at the top of my lungs I greeted Mr. Montet.

Baker, noted football historian. The Coaches’ All-American was picked for the first time last year. Dr. Baker, whose football records are regarded the most complete anywhere, makes this observation in his latest book, “Do You Know Your Football?” (A. S. Barnes, New York.) In reply to the question “What All-American selection, originated in 1945, may become the No. 1 list?” Dr. Baker gives this DIT'S DOPE women go by.

Dr. Baker points out that “no one knows how many All-Americans are picked annually. “New lists are started almost every year,” he writes, and from time to time old selectors abandon the effort. Probably five or six are all that receive widespread accep tance.” He notes that as many as 35 different “All” teams appeared in the Official Football Guide for 1909. The Coaches’ All-American is picked by the association’s active membership of 475, covering the nation. Weekly balloting is con ducted throughout the season and final selections, made late in No vember, appear in a December is sue of The Saturday Evening Post. Dr. Baker, a medical specialist and holder of three Yale degrees, is listed in the July 1946 supple- FROM a MALE VIEWPOINT baekwSS’/watehiuT to bLtlfuI Lnt of" “Who’s Who in America’’ i. „ VioUor .~ Vilotn- as an outstanding football histo rian. He is accorded the same dis tinction in “Who Knows the Book of Authorities,” associate publication of “Who’s Who.” Dr. Baker has been collecting football data as a hobby since 1934 and is frequently called upon by newspapers and magazines for out- of-the-way information. It is said that he has never been stumped for an answer. Last year he pub lished “Football: Facts and Fig ures,” which is encyclopedic in its variety of material. Dear Dit I, Well, here it is time to go to press again and I find that this week things are a little more diffi cult to latch on to. I can’t seem to locate anyone for all the Q. C. gals are running, here and yon. Where have I been? Afraid I can’t say right now cause there are too many people trying to figure out who I am. Torry tells me that the Labor and Management is trying to solve the great problem. So sorry that they can’t find out till the end of the year. The damage will be done then. On to the Q. C. news though— Life here is just the same as usual with a few exceptions. Practically everyone went away for the week ends and came back shot. Dot Floyd, Ann Vann, and Doris Thom as went to Charleston for the Cit adel dances — nnd speaking of Charleston, did you see the ex cerpt from “The News and Cou rier?” It went this way: “Did you happen to see ? Two Queens college girls spill ing cosmetics all over the lobby of the Francis Marion hotel, much to the amusement of the male guests who, however, with typical Southern chivalry, helped pick them up ... ” The ladies in distress were Dot Floyd and Louise Johnson who were trying desperately to get in touch with their dates just after their arrival in Charleston. After trying to get her date on the phone for twenty minutes. Dot finally agreed with Louise that it was next to hopeless, and that she had best get dressed for the big hop, and Louise had to fly home to get ready for the Med. ball. So the fair ladies prepared to take off, but they were suddenly grounded for a time when Dot’s cosmetic case came unfastened and lip sticks, rouge, powder, and hand lo tion flew in all directions. Dot stammered in her embarrassment, “Louise, I’ve read about things like this, but I never dreamed it could happen to me.” The Autumn Nocturne turned out to be the best dance that Queens has ever had — balloons floated down upon smiling faces and the figure was beautiful. Con grats to Lillian DeArmon for her big “Q” used in the figure . . . What happened at Patsy Des mond’s house after the dance? There were many breakfasts held in Charlotte after the dance and everyone had fun. Husky wasn’t too excited. Has anyone seen the golf class at the M. P. Golf course? Seems that they cause quite a riot. Maria only took three hours for six holes and the score was only 127. Heard the report that they had to borrow miners’ lamps to come home by “You’re the first girl I ever kiss ed,” he said as he shifted gears with his knees.—(The Coal Miner) The difference between a convic tion and a prejudice is that you can explain a conviction without getting angry.—(Anon.) on, -An’ ’ow iz your veree toming mama?
