Forgotten Men THE PIONEER When you think of your Alma '•later as being North State Con ference champs, don’t forget "Bat tler” Gress. In case you are unin formed, the "Battler” is mainly re sponsible for our being champions. As you all know, Gress managed the Indian sluggers. (At least he tried to manage them.) His task was a difficult one. Besides man aging the club, "Battler” also had to administer rubdowns, chase foulballs, and sweep the field off every day. He did these many things uncomplainingly, and he deserves a world of credit. When ever the players would fall into a slump, the "Battler” would cheer them up with his putrid jokes. If the players felt playful, Gress al ways acted as the stooge. Yes, indeed, Manager Gress was truly an all-lround man. HIs rotund figure was omnipresent at all times on the baseball field. He worked so hard that he is now nothing but a shadow of his for mer self. (At present he weighs 220 lbs.) A slave to his work, but the "Battler” said that the pennant was worth everything. He managed a championship ball club, and from now on he wishes to be addressed as "John McGraw” Gress. (Eolo and Moose) How many of you knew that Eolo Cesareo and "Moose” Bick ett co-Captained Catawba’s Con ference champs. I’ll wager that very few of the student body knew this. Eolo and "Moose” • worked hard for the team this year. They are both seniors, and wanted badly to captain a win ning team. They worked on and off the field, trying to devise fair methods of defeating their op ponents. When Elon defeated Catawba in the latter’s final tiff, it looked bad for the hopes of the co-captains. Eolo, however, held firm in his selection of Lenior Rhyne over the Christians, and sure enough the Bears did come through. Now, Eolo and "Moose' can really bray about their cap taining the first Catawba Confer ence winner in six years. (Tubby) Due to an unfortunate error, cover the initial sack on ..*ic Indian nine. The student body sure miss ed his outstanding figure, and the team likewise missed his potent bat. His substitutes played good ball, but at the "Tuby” would have gone much better in there. Garland attended all the games and rooted hard for the team’s success. To prove his all-round ability, he went out and played varsity tennis. You can’t keep a good man down.

I — — 1 - ■ .1 ■ I Photo Grace Line THEATRE WITH GLASS CURTAIN of the most unique curtains in any theater is found in this magnificent building—the National Theater, or Opera House, in Mexico City. The entire curtain is of col ored glass, designed by Girardo Murillo, and made by Tiffany at a cost of $47,000. It features trees and plants, notably the cacti, most typical of Mexico, flanked by the famous cones, Popocatepetl and Ixtacclhuatl. The latter, by means of clever lighting, are shown as they appear at dawn, at noon, at twilight and at night, in different kinds of weather. Other interior decorations and furnishings are equally as elabo rate and attract sightseers as well as theater-goers from among those visiting the capital city. There Is a huge organ for instance with 7,000 pipes and equipped with everything from carillon bells to Aztec drums. The building itself is one of the finest of its kind on the continent. It is completely covered with marble which gleams white as snow in Mexico’s sunlight, and is adorned with beautifully wrought statues, bronze carvings, and lovely foun tains. Inside, in addition to the theater which is finished in beauti fully tinted Mexican mahogany, are cafes, a winter garden, luxuriously furnished lounges and smoking rooms, with a special retiring room for the President and his parties, and also richly furnished lounge and dressing rooms tor the operatle stars. S. E. Conference Buys Good Grid Men THE PIONEER (By Associated Collegiate Press) Football fans no longer blink with surprise at hints that perhaps the eleven iron men who carry the mail for dear old Siwash aren’t play ing the game only because they love it. Few are the followers who fail to realize that if Coach "Iron John" McConigle were to sit around and wait for material, instead of going out and buying it, his team would be in his hair. Increasingly important to the fan—who doesn’t realize it, and wouldn’t care if he did—have been late developments in this problem of subsidization. The past decade, and particularly the past two years, have seen many high-powered minds earnestly bent to the solution of an evil believed by some to threaten the standing of the game, and panaceas without number have been proposed. It remained for the 193 5 season to furnish the pay-off-decision of the important Southeastern Con ference (Alabama, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisiana State, Mississippi State, Misfeissippi, Tenn., Tulane, University of the South, a^id Vanderbilt) to take subsidiza tion out of the dark-room, admit openly that members were buying players, go out into the high-and prep-school markets prepared to lay cash on the line for the best mater ial available. Conference representatives didn’t state it that plainly when they met in the middle of last December, but that’s what they meant when they voted to pass a resolution stating the Southeastern Conference would "recognize athletic ability in giv ing aid to students.” In other words, just as studious J. Martin gale Darby, the hottest physics student in Jonesville High School, might logically expect to get a scholarship to State University, so might Pete Blumf, bone-crushing gard on the school team that won the intersectional championship. Girls’ Sports THE PIONEER Tennis, archery, and hiking have come into their own during these last weeks or perfect weathr. From early morning around 6 A. M., till sundown, the girls tennis courts are filled, and we hear feminine squeals and the soft thud of rackets. The lucky ones get the I tan and the unlucky ones get freckles. The Intermural Tennis tourneys haven’t been completely played off, but the following girls have been chosen to play on Monday, May 24, for the silver loving cup to be awarded at the Commencement Exercises; S'trayhorn-Yopp; Schn upp-Seldomridge; ScQtt-Peifley; Foil-Bowman. The winner of the Preijhman Class Tournament is Sarah Holly day and Carrie Bell Strayhorn was the Senior class championship.

The State Department of argri culture received reports of the ap pearance of the cicadas "by the hundreds and possibly millions” in that county. FEWER STUDENT DRIVERS Raleigh.—Claud Goddy, director of transportation for the state school commission, said in a state ment Tuesday there are fewer stu dent drivers of school buses now than when the counties provided for transportation of children to and from the institutions. sical systems. The action of the heart, for example, is definitely slow er under smaller amounts of light. The focusing muscles of the eye be come three times as tired under one footcandle of light as under one hundred footcandles. (A footcandle is the amount of light a candle casts on a surface one foot away). Young eyes mistreated by insufficient or im proper light become a handicap to good scholarship. Poor lighting makes for restlessness, inattention and fatigue. Actual scientific re search has demonstrated this fact. Bulbs Should Be Checked Wouldn’t it be a good idea to check the bulbs in the reading lamps you use constantly? In a single socket lamp, use a 100-watt bulb. In a double socket lamp, use two 60 watt bulbs. In a triple socket lamp, three 40-watt bulbs are recom mended. If you will refuse to read very fine print for long periods of time, if you will have your eyes examined regularly, and if you will make cer tain that there is abundant glareless light whenever you do close eye work, you can in some measure com pensate for the burdens imposed upon our eyes by modern civilization. ■ i 'p'RINGED shades, bare lamp •*- bulbs, and pools of light are as out of date as plumed hats and pro jecting petticoats. Modernity de mands good taste in lighting, and good taste is always based on sound principles. In home lighting today, these principles involve portable lamps and lighting fixtures designed not only for decorative harmony, but for lighting results and seeing effectiveness as well. It has been estimated that today we are using our eyes for severe visual tasks 30 per cent more than was common a generation ago. Yet in comparatively few homes does the lighting meet present-day require ments. Lighting Neglect Harmful ~ It is sad but true that in many homes where much thought and money has been given to furnish ings, there is often the least consider ation given to lighting. Light bulbs of wrong type have been put into fixtures incorrectly designed in the first place, then placed where they do little good, if not actual harm. When the eyes are punished by poor lighting, they pass along their afflictions to the nervous and pby • Eye protection need never be p sacrificed to the decorative scheme. The lamp shown here—one of the Better Sight type^— provides plenty | of well-diffused, I glareless light, yet blends perfectly with the room furnishings.
