Golden Basketeers to Meet Rivals Tonight

in Traditional Scrap

Fishburne Squad Has Strong Veteran Core and Game

May be Close

FUTURE GAMES TO BE TOUGH AND EXCITING

Tonight the Kable basketeers meet their seventh opponent of the season, Fishburne. Coach Spotts' boys from Waynesboro always give S. M. A. a tough scrap, and last year they nearly proved to be the Blue and Gold's Nem- esis. The Fishburne squad has a strong veteran core this year, and a good game is guaranteed.

This coming Wednesday the Randolph Macon Academy aggregation will meet the Golden hoop men in Kable gym. Although S. M. A. has not played this school often, the visitors are coming here with a reputation as one of the outstanding teams of the southern part of the state.

On Friday, February 6, Emerson In- stitute will be met. Emerson is one of the largest high schools in Washington and usually has good teams.

The next day will see a struggle between the Kable squad and the basketeers from Fork Union. F. U. M. A. is another old opponent that has given S. M. A. many close fights and some defeats. Like the above three games this fracas will be held here on the "Hill."

The W. & L. Freshmen will be met on their home court on February 11. This will be the third freshman team that the Kableites meet this season. The "Generals" are always a powerful aggregation, and S. M. A. is certain of strong opposition.

On February 13 the Greenbrier basketeers will come here to meet the S. M. A. squad. The West Virginia boys are a clever, fast squad, but the Kable men have won the great majority of the games played between these two schools.

. This two week's schedule will prove a tough one, and plenty of exercise is promised to the Kable men. o

Col. T. G. Russell Urges Early Subscriptions for the

1931 Blue and Gold

Recently Colonel T. G. Russell made a statement to THE KABLEGRAM concern- ing the coming issue of the Blue and Gold. "If you have not received a receipt for the annual, your parents have not paid for it, as slips are given out as soon as the money comes to the office," he explained.

"Many boys in the past have gone without the annual they expected due to neglect. It is a very easy matter for a man to place the circular letter aside on his desk, and then probably forget it until he uncovers it perhaps months later," he continued.

Each year there are boys who have failed to make definite arrangements about this matter, and they are urged to write home at once if they have not gotten a receipt and intend to purchase the annual. Last year the Blue and Gold did not make expenses and, of course, this cannot be repeated this season. Due to this, all definite arrangements and orders for the number to be printed are being set for a date in the near future, and after that no further orders will be accepted.

In closing Col. Russell said: "I do not want to see any one go without the annual, but the cadets who want it must have their orders sent in as soon as pos- sible."

Preparatory School Conference to be Held at

W. & L., Feb. 13, 14, 15

No Banquet for February Graduates This Year

Although it has been a custom in previous years, there will be no banquet this year for those cadets who will graduate in February. The probable reason for this is that only six will graduate. This is a very small number and it is unpracticable to go to the ex- pense of having a man come here to sneak to so small a number. The annual senior banquet for those graduating in June will be held on Saturday, May the ninth, and the dean of some distinguish- ed college or university will speak.

The Preparatory School Conference which was to be held last fall and was called off due to inclement weather will be held at Washington and Lee Univer- sity on February 13, 14, 15.

The program of the conference re- mains the same as before the postpone- ment, with only a few minor changes. Washington and Lee University has provided lodgings for all the delegates attending the meeting.

Mr. James Appleby, who addressed the Staunton cadet corps last year will address the members of the conference. He will be remembered as the splendid speaker who always has an interesting subject to talk about. There will also be several other prominent speakers on the program.

Kable Leather Pushers Have Tough Contest Ahead; Oak

Ridge Team May Come Here

On Monday, February 2nd the Staun- ton leather pushers will meet their W. & L. rivals here. Last year the "Little Generals" went down to a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Kableites. The Fresh- men always have a powerful contingent, and this year they have many prep school stars in their ranks.

The Oak Ridge pugilists may come here on February 7th to battle the Kable boxers. As yet this match is not defi- nitely decided, but there is a strong possibility of its being held. Last year the Blue and Gold didn't meet Oak Ridge in a regular match, but at the state meet in Charlottesville the visitors beat the S. M. A. team by two points, there- by taking second place in the meet. VVhatever the outcome of this year's match may be, seven good scraps are as- sured.

The prospects of the "Hill Toppers" are very bright as the team retains some of its outstanding veterans. Many new stars are demonstrating their abilities, and with such a combination the results should be very favorable.

MEMBERS OF SENIOR CLASS WHO GRADUATE TODAY

Left to Right: Canedy, Jobe, Farrell, Woloz, Kates, Bigelow

WITH THE CLOSE OF EXAMS TODAY, SIX SENIORS WILL RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMAS

Bigelow, Canedy, Farrell, Jobe, Kates, and Woloz, are to Leave Old S. M. A. for Higher Seats of

Commandant's Office Makes Known Total Hours Per Stick

In the past many cadets have expected to go down town on Friday nights, thinking they had only two or three hours "beat." Many were disappointed, however, in finding that they had more punishment to serve than was expected. So for the benefit of all those concerned, the commandant's office publishes once again the following list of the most common "sticks."

Each special order carries with it ten demerits and the amount of time served depends upon the previous record of the cadet and the seriousness of the offense.

Report Hrs. Abuse of barber shop leave 10 Absent class 4 Absent reveille and S. U. E.'s 5 Concealed lights after taps 10 Completing dressing in ranks 2 Each Saturday morning room report. . 2 "E" Co. cadets failing to write home

each Sunday 2 Failing to get laundry 4 Failing to orderly out 2 Hospital out of hours 3 Late class V? Late formation Vz Lights after taps 5 Late on leave (first hour) 4j Lights during absence of corps 2 No E. R. when required 3 No E. R. after warning . . 5 Any minor E. R. reports (mis-

spelled word) V2 Not studying in study hall 2 Not making bed 2 Not airing blankets 2 Playing Victrola during C. Q 2 Sink leave lA Smoking in room 5 Smoking on gallery 10 Throwing food at mess 4 Talking before seats 4 Talking in class 4

If a cadet is constantly reported for the same offense, serious punishment will result.

At noon today, as the mid-year examinations are brought to a close, six members of this year's senior class will have graduated. The men who will have earn- ed their diplomas today are: Bigelow, F. W., Canedy, D. A., Farrell, J., Jobe, J. A., Kates, C. W., and Woloz, L. R.

These cadets have attended S. M. A. an average of four years. The course at this institution is regularly a four year one and the statistics show a very good academic record on the part of the graduates. During their attendance at this academy, these members of the graduating class have made servicable records in the academic line as well as in the military department.

Cadet Whitfield Kates entered S. M. A. in 1927 and was immediately assigned to "B" company in which he has remained the past four years. He received the appointment of a corporal the following year. The next two years saw "Whit" holding the rank of sergeant and lieutenant respectively. He has played company football for two years and company basketball for four years. He was captain of his company football team the season of 1930. He also par- ticipated in company boxing in 1930. "Whit" is a member of the Honor Com- mittee and also was assistant humor editor of the Blue and Gold. Although plans are not yet definite, he has intentions of going to Duke University. "Whit" leaves with the best wishes of the corps for his success.

"Jim" Jobe entered the Academy in 1926. He was assigned to "D" company and remained there for three years. Upon his return for the fourth year he was transferred to Headquarters company. This year "Jim" was appointed technical sergeant in headquarters. His activities have been many and varied. During his five years here, he has played company football and basketball throughout the entire time. He was a member of the junior varsity basketball team in 1928. He also played soccer this year.

He was elected to the "Hall of Fame" in 1930 and is also a member of the Cotillion Club. "Jim" plans to enter Dartmouth next fall and upon his grad- uation there will enter the Eahles Em- balming School in Philadelphia, Pa.

"Joe" Farrell arrived on the "Hill" in the fall of 1928. He joined "D" company, remaining there but one year. The following year he was assigned to Head- quarters company with the rank of corporal. In February of the same year he was appointed sergeant. This year he received the rank of technical sergeant in the same company. His activities have been confined solely to company basketball, which he has played for the past two years. "Joe" is planning to enter the University of Pennsylvania.

Leon Woloz enrolled in September of 1927 and joined up with "B" company. Upon his return the following year he decided he wanted to change organiza- tions so was transferred to "D" company, which has claimed him ever since. This year he was given the rank of sergeant. He was assistant manager of baseball in 1928 and manager in 1929. He has played both company football and basketball for the past four years. He is captain of his company basketball team. He also played company baseball for one year. He was a member of the

Debators Resume Practice With Examinations Over

Eighteen Cadets Receive Extra Credit for Kablegram Work

Famous Westminster Choir to Give Concert in the Old

Gym on Feb. 11, at 8:30

Eighteen cadets were awarded extra credits in English for their work done on the editorial staff of the KABLEGRAM.

Those who received credits were: Prior, Lepore, Fisher, Buescher, Scholl, Trentman, Litzenburg, Tenny, Ray, R. M., Crawford, George, Siebold, Taylor, J. B., Hansen, H. N., Cochrun, Brooks, S., Shaffer and Greer.

This awarding of English credits has been a custom of the English department for the past few years. It is a reward for the many hours spent in writing articles for the paper, and is a great help on the English grade.

The world famous Westminster Choir is to sing in the old gymnasium of Staunton Military Academy at eight- thirty p. m. on the evening of February 11. This renowned organization has recently returned to America from an ex- tensive tour of Europe, where it received many hearty welcomes at the hands of the European people.

The chorus is under the direction of Dr. John Finley Williamson who con- ducted it during its tour of Europe. This program will be of especial interest to many of the town people. A former resident of Staunton will sing in the chorus.

Mrs. John Williamson, wife of the di- rector, has written a very interesting story of the choir's reception in the dif- ferent cities across the sea. In it she reviews many of the incidents that they have experienced and tells of many of the notable people they have met.

"At Hamburg we found ourselves at a reception after the concert. Among the speakers was Mr. Mendelsohn, grandson of Felix Mendelsohn," states Mrs. Williamson. "At Bristol where our first concert was held, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained us at their picturesque mansion."

The Westminster choir has sung at most of the important cities of Europe and it should be with great pleasure that the corps receives this noted group.

The debating team has gradually pro- gressed in the last two weeks. Its organization has been completed, and work is now being done toward securing a greater knowledge of the question for debate. Pamphlets have been issued to the various members of the squad, and these booklets are passed on from one man to another, so that by the end of two weeks' time it is hoped that everyone will have a thorough knowledge of the proposition. There have been three meetings of the candidates for the team since the meeting of organization which took place two weeks ago. At these meetings, various phases of the question are discussed and argued by the men on the affirmative and negative sides. Some rather heated discussions have been held, and these will get even more hectic when all the men have had more experience at arguing. During the last week, work on debating was halted because of the second quarter examinations, but now that they are finished, work will be immediately resumed.

It is customary for the debating team to act as subsidiary of the Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, and this will again be true this year. Sometimes, it is true, the candidates are not always members of the society, but they usually join later.

Eight More Men to be Added to Rolls After Exams are Over

Although only four cadets entered the academy after the Christmas furlough, eight more will be added to the roster at the beginning of the third quarter. There are three cadets who were here last year returning in this number.

The old boys returning and their respective homes are : Ulsh, Millersburg, Pa.; Wetzler, R., Pittsburgh; Wetzler, W., Pittsburgh. The new boys are: Steers, F. W., Brooklyn, N. Y.; Oehrig, H. A., Hollis, L. I.; Rifflard, Robert, Bayonne, N. J.; Smith, A. A., Phila- delphia ; Lasher, H. T., Pittsburgh.

Golden Quintet Defeats Last Year's State Champs

in Evenly Matched Fracas

Massanutten Holds Kablemen in Check Until the Last

Quarter

JERRY DEL PRETE SAVES GAME BY FINE PLAYING

Last Tuesday night the Blue and Gold quintet met the Massanutten Military Academy aggregation on the latter's court and defeated them by the score of 30 to 28. Besides being the closest game of the season and also the most exciting, this contest went to an extra five minute period. The game was crowded with thrills. The climax came when S. M. A. tied the score in the last minute of the contest.

Last year Massanutten handed the Golden quintet its only defeat of the season by a prep school. After winning 52 to 40, M. M. A. went on to wrest the state championship laurels. The boys from down the valley evidently in- tended to repeat last year's performance, but their plans were rudely upset.

The first half was very close with both teams playing outstanding basketball. Griffith, captain of the S. M. A. squad, was withdrawn from the game for committing four personal fouls. His absence broke up the Hilltoppers crack- combination, allowing the half to end with M. M. A. on the long end of a 14 to 10 score.

The second half was also very close. The Staunton squad was working in tip-top form, but the home team continued to lead. Three minutes before the final whistle Massanutten was leading by a seven point margin. Chiefly through the magnificent playing of Jerry Del Prete S. M. A. tied the score before the end. An extra five minute period was called for, and again Del Prete came to the rescue by scoring the winning points.

Lehman led the scoring for the Golden contingent with Chapman, McAninch, and Del Prete close behind. Del Prete was easily the hero of the game and de-

Today Marks End of First Semester; Many New

Classes Begin Monday

Today marked the close of the exams for the first semester. Thursday was given to exams in all sciences, Latin, and civics. On Friday exams were held in English and modern languages, and Sat- urday was devoted to mathematics.

Monday will start the beginning of the second semester. Course cards will be issued in designated rooms and all cadets will be informed Monday at as- sembly as to where they may receive their cards. The regular schedule will be in effect with a ten minute interval between each class. Any cadet chang- ing his course is required to report to his old class during the ten minute interval and notify the instructor of the change, before reporting to his new class.

There are to be organized six classes each, in trig and solid. Four classes will be held in Algebra II, and two classes will be formed in Algebra I, and two classes in plane.

One new class will be organized in Algebra III.

Two new classes in German will begin this semester, there being classes in German I and II.

One new class will be organized in each of these subjects, Economics, Latin I, Latin II, French I, and Spanish I. Two classes will be held in French II and Spanish II. o

Surveyors Busily Engaged In Mapping the "Hill"

Quite a few of the more observant members of the corps probably have noticed the presence of a group of surveyors who have been diligently working on the "Hill" and the surrounding grounds measuring, mapping, and figur- ing. The business of these men is to make calculations in preparation for the construction of a contour map which will give the measurements of the entire school property to the exactness of an inch. This map, because of its accuracy and future value is to cost considerable. It will later be used to determine the position of the proposed new barracks, and also any other buildings to be con- structed.

THE VOICE OF THE CORPS

Guiding Milestone of Life

All our lives are composed of

events, and each event adds another

line to our imaginary poem of life.

However, when these activities are

invisibly inscribed, they are either

to prove one's doing or undoing

later on. If we but stop to consid-

er a moment when we are in doubt

about doing anything, we will often

find the moment's thought to have

been very valuable to us. It was

a wise man who composed the fol-

lowing ten questions to ask one's

self each day. They are, in the

estimation of many, some of the

most useful guides in maintaining

a satisfactory life.

C. D. SHULTZ, FRIEND OF SCHOOL, PASSES

Friends among the faculty and the cadets were shocked and grieved to learn of the sudden death of Mr. C. D. Shultz, manager of the McClure Printing Com- pany. Mr. Shultz was known at S. M. A. chiefly by those in charge of the school publications, to whom he was always most courteous, kind, and con- siderate. He was a loyal friend of the academy and an ardent supporter of its activities, especially sports. He seldom ever missed a contest here in football, baseball, and boxing.

ALUMNI

Action—Not Hot Air

Exams were finished this morn-

ing, and now the cadet corps em-

barks upon another semester.

There are four more months of

work ahead of each boy. If he is

not satisfied with past perform-

ances, now is the time to resolve to

really work in the future, starting

today. Don't tell everyone how

much work you are going to do. No

one wants to hear what you may

do. Action is what the world

wants. Not hot air. Keep your

resolutions to yourself. Say noth-

ing, but come across with the goods.

CORRECTION

In the issue of January 17, it was stated that Cadet Jackson was elected to the position of "secretary in charge of policing rooms" of the Officer's Club. This was an erroneous statement, being instead, "house mother." Although this is an elective position, it is usually ac- corded to the lowest ranking officer in the society.

Joseph P. Scopa, alumnus of S. M. A. and at present living in Princeton, N. J., recently wrote to Capt. Thomas. He stated that he is now working for the Equitable Life Insurance Co. of New York, and at an early date expects to visit his Alma Mater.

Louis T. Toussaint, a student here from 1928 to '30 is now working in the Aviation Department of the Standard Oil Company of New York.

Word has recently been received from Dartmouth University that Richard P. Bell has been elected business manager of the freshmen annual. Bell was a cadet at S. M. A. for two years, and was a member of last year's graduating class.

Howard Mcrkent, '28, was married December 2nd, to Miss Madelyn Eu- banks, of Brooklyn, N. Y. They live at 2111 Beckman Place, Brooklyn.

John C. Dingwall. '28, and Miss Peggy Crowe, of New York, were married January 19th.

Louis E. Malakoff, '28, of Verona, N. J., who has been attending Newark Col- lege of Engineering, expects to enter Pauzer College of Physical Education and Hygiene.

Fred Bunn, '27, is married and has a position as assistant buyer with L. Bam- berger and Company.

"Coop" French, '27, a senior at Penn State, was picked to play on an All- North football team against a picked All-South team in a charity game held at Ebbett's field in New York.

Jimmy Pope, ex-'27, is married and has a son. He lives at Plainfield, N. J. He was an air mail pilot out of New Brunswick, N. J., the last we heard of him.

John Hurlihy, '28, Oman Doyle, '28, and Bill McCormick, '29, are all at Georgetown University.

George Fletcher, '27, was awarded his monogram at West Point this year for his work in football there.

Are you personally in favor of allowing the same privileges to men making "ood marks in academic work according to their respective ratings as those al- lozved the officers, sergeants, and corporals?

B. C. C.—Yes. I figure if a man is willing to work hard all day and usually over the week-ends to keep his grades where he would like to have them, he should be properly rewarded for his efforts. One who has been through the ropes of securing high marks knows that there is little time for play or amuse- ments when one is trying to get to the top.

J. D. M.—Yes. I believe that the same privileges should be awarded to men making good grades in proportion with their ratings as to the officers, sergeants, corporals. For the men making ninety per cent or above, the same leave should lie afforded them as to the officers for this group represents the leaders in their line as the officers represent leadership in their particular branch. Also ten- thirty lights should be given these ninety pin men so that they could have a little more leisure time. Then the eighty per cent boys should have the same privileges as the sergeants—an afternoon leave every week and every other Sunday night. The seventy pin cadets should be allowed one afternoon leave every third week and a Sunday night leave every third week.

J. G.—No. It is very evident that a man who makes high grades should get some privileges for his efforts, but not as much as officers or non-coms. A "rat" who has made good grades in other schools comes here and the first quarter sees himself equal to an officer or non- com, who probably have worked hard to get where they are and have been here for a few years at least. In this way it wouldn't be fair to the officers and non-coms if they have to realize that a first year man has as many privileges as they have after being here only for a few months, whereas the officers and non-coms had to be here for at least two years before they could get where they are. o

Western Downs Blue and Gold In Hard Fought Contest Here

SHOULD BE ISSUED BY S. M. A. Government scientists have invented an

earthquake detector that goes off like an alarm clock. What we need is an alarm clock that goes off like an earthquake;

Last Friday night Western High, of Washington, D. C, defeated the Golden quintet 24 to 22. The game was played here and was a hard-fought and irreg- ular contest with the Washingtonians leading practically all the way through. The Blue and Gold team was at a slight disadvantage due to an excessive num her of fouls, which caused many of the men to be taken out of the fracas. Chapman, Lehman, and McAninch starred for the Hilltoppers, while Yowell and Buscher took the honors for the visitors.

The first half began very evenly, both teams making five points in the first quarter. In the remainder of the half the visitors forged ahead to a three point lead. In the third quarter S. M. A. closed the gap and tied the score. How- ever, the Westerners again took the lead in the final period and held it until the final whistle was blown.

COMPANY "E" NOTES

To date the company "E" basketball team has played three games. They have been quite successful in winning two out of the three games. Under the capable direction of Lieutenant Walper, who has been coaching the team for the past few years, the team should make the best record in years. This year's quintet is much stronger than in former years. The results of the three games are as follows: Co. "E" 37 V. S. D. B. 21 Co. "E" 28 Y. M. C. A. 24 Co. "E" 18 Miller School 21

DEBATORS RESUME (Continued From Page One)

The captain for the debating team is Zumeta, and the secretary is Shapiro, J. At present there are only eleven men out for the team, and it is hoped that more men decide to try for it. Grun- well, Stark, M., Shapiro, J., Greer, and Maher are taking the negative side of the question. Zumeta, Brooks, S., Brooks, C, Steele, M., Shapiro, R., and Crawford are taking the affirmative side.

Cadets are reminded that five points extra are given in English for successful candidates of the debating team.

Officers Elected at Meeting of W. W. Literary Society

At a recent meeting of the Woodrow Wilson Literary Society officers of that organization for the forthcoming semester were elected. The following are the results of the election: President, Fischer, C. B.; Secretary, Briggs, D. M.; Treasurer, Brooks, S. The new officers show promising prospects and it is the belief of all concerned that they will hold their offices and execute their du- ties in an excellent manner.

Cadet Zumeta, having withdrawn his name from the ballot, was unanimously elected Cadet Advisor, to serve in the absence of Major Brice. Zumeta, as the highest ranking man scholastically in the corps and as the president of the society for the past three semesters, highly deserved this honorary post.

The application of Cadets Greer and Bennett, M. B., for membership in the society were voted on at the last meeting. The result of the voting was to the affirmative.

The program of the last meeting was highly complimented by Major Brice. There were a great variety of topics and all the speakers showed study and preparation in delivering their talks. The program was as follows: Cadet Ben- nett, C. E gave a reading, "The One Horse Shay"; Cadet Brooks, C, gave an informal talk, "How Humans May Re- gain Their Lost Voices"; Cadet Dalton, G, gave an informal talk, "The Philli- pines on the War Path" ; Cadet Burnham gave a reading, "Defining Education"; Cadet Metcalf gave an informal talk "The Liberian Slavery Question." The last talk of the evening, given by Cadet Gawler, was the most interesting as well as the most enjoyed. His topic was, "Attendance at R. O. T. C. Summer Camps."

To every intellectual man, solitude is not only a necessity, it is the condition to which his mental qualities are subject; and the man who cannot endure his own sole society has usually excellent reasons for his objection to it.

Co. 'A" Leads Inter-Co. Basketball Competition

Lt. Slattery and his strong "A" Co. basketball team are sitting all alone on top of the Intercompany Basketball league, as the third week of the schedule passes into history. They have four victories and no defeats to their record. "D" Co. is second with two wins and one defeat. Co. "B" who started the season with two easy victories is now in third place with a .500 per cent average. Headquarters-Band and "C" Co. are fourth and fifth respectively in the league race; the former team won one game and lost two, and the latter has suffered four defeats. The most interesting game in the past two weeks was between "A" and "B" Co., which the former won 21-13. At half-time the score was 8-8, and at the end of the third quarter it was 12-12. Both teams played a careful and close guarding game. The lowest total score that any company has ever made in basketball was accomplished the other week when "D" Co., defeated "C," 12-8. The score at the end of the first half was 4-1 ; the North Barracks team leading.

Leonard, Co. "B's" scoring ace, is individual high scorer so far with a total of 30 points. Anderson, Bayle, and Klepper are hot on his trail with only a few points separating them from the leader. The first half of the schedule will be completed as soon as "D" Co. and Headquarters-Band clash.

Hdq.-Band Downs "C" 21-19 For the first time this season the

Headquarters-Band team succeeded in gaining a victory in the Inter-Company tournament. That aggregation defeated the "C" Co. basketeers 21-19. The game was slow and uninteresting during the first half. At the end of the first quarter "C" Company was on the short end of a 9-0 score. Headquarters-Band led at half-time, 11-7. Personal fouls were numerous on both sides.

Furman and Finklestein were high scorers for "C" Co., with eight points each, and White led Hdq.-Band with seven. "C" Co. Pos. Hdq.-Bd. Rainey ' F White Kraus F Farrell Furman C Campbell Frey G Pinney Benge G Jobe

Co. "D" won an unbelievable victory over their barracks rivals, Co. "B." In the first few minutes of play the "D" Co. team scored six points, and this lead was never threatened during the entire remainder of the game. The team work which the "B" Co. team dis played at the beginning of the season was lacking in this contest. The passing and shooting attacks of both teams were poor.

Blue and Gold Boxers Down

U. of Va. Freshmen, 6-1

On January 17th, the Blue and Gold boxers defeated the University of Vir- ginia Freshmen, six bouts to one. The fights were staged at Charlottesville in the University gymnasium. In the first bout Robertson, H. F., made his debut as a bantamweight, winning by a decision in three rounds. He had a slight edge on his opponent, Feifer, of the freshmen, in all three rounds. He finished very strongly and carried the fight quite easily.

Morse, W. R., substituted for Burton in the featherweight class when the latter failed to make the weight. Morse, being a natural bantam was at a great disadvantage, especially since he had been working hard in the earlier part of the week to get down below 119 pounds. He fought very cleverly in the first two rounds and was far ahead of his freshman opponent, Kelly. In the third round he began to weaken, and Kelly, being much stronger, piled up enough points to make the judges decide on an extra round. Morse, being in a weakened condition, could do noth- ing but take the defensive in this round. Kelly won the fight by a slight margin. Morse is to be admired for his willing- ness to substitute in this bout.

Meyer, F. H., S. M. A. welter, did not seem to be in the best of condition in his match and lacked considerable of his color of last year. However, he easily outpointed Fishburne in three rounds. The first round was fairly even, but Meyer easily took the other two to win the bout by a wide margin. In the first round Fishburne hurt his foot so badly that he lifted it off the floor and drop- ped his hands, leaving him entirely -at Meyer's mercy. The latter displayed a fine piece of sportsmanship by pur- posely clinching while he asked what was the matter. Seeing that the boy was in trouble, he withdrew to a far corner and gave Fishburne a chance to com- pletely recover.

Ribinicky won his first fight for the Blue and Gold by defeating Stuart, Uni- versity of Virginia, in three rounds. The first round was very even, but the others went to the S. M. A. boy by a wide margin. The men who opposed Ribinicky and Meyer were the ^wo outstanding freshmen fighters.

In the middleweight division Perini, of S. M. A., easily defeated Smith, by taking all three rounds by a wide margin.

Hanson- won the light heavyweight bout for S. M. A. by receiving a tech-

Hdq.-Bd. Aggregation Easily Defeated By League Leaders

The "A" Co. team defeated Hdq.-Bd. outfit by the score of 26-16. Both of the teams fought hard throughout the contest but the victors held the edge from the start. The South Barracks five lead at the half time.

Bayle and Anderson accounted for eighteen of their team's twenty-five points; the former caging five baskets. Ladner and White played well for the losers. "A" Co. Pos. Hdq.-Bd. Bayle F White Buesching F Farrell Anderson C Benge Green G Ladner Klepper G DeVeer

Co. "D" Defeats "C" Five 12-8; Losers Trail 4-1 at Half

"C" Company opposed the "D" team a week ago last Wednesday, in the old gymnasium and lost 12-8, to the fast North Barrack's team. The floor is larger than in the new gym and the company ieams are not accustomed to playing on the old gym floor. Neither team was able to find the basket during the first half which accounted for the low score. At the end of the first quarter the score was 0-0 At the half-time it stood 4-1, in favor of the winner. "C" Co. Pos. "D" Co. Simon F Huthsteiner Rainev F Thomas

S. M. A. Five Trims Hargrave in Close Game on Home Court

On January 26th the S. M. A. hoop men defeated the Hargrave Military Academy quintet 25 to 22 in Kable Gym. The entire game was very close, and the outcome was uncertain until the very end. Lehman of S. M. A. and Bovard of H. M. A. took the scoring honors for their respective schools.

In field goals S. M. A. had a slight advantage. However, H. M. A. was awarded fifteen fouls, of which six were good, against S. M. A.'s three out of six. Substitutions were very infrequent, each team using only one extra man in the entire game.

Strong "A" Co. Team Defeats "B" In Final Period of Close Game

The "B" Co. team was defeated by the strong "A" Company aggregation 21-13. Both teams were undefeated up to this point. The victory put "A" Company in- to first place with three wins and no defeats. The game was featured by fast floor play and close guarding. At the half-time the score was 8-8, and at the end of the third quarter it was 12-12. This was so far the best contest played this year between comnany teams.

Klepper and Leonard were high scorers for their respective teams, each scoring ten points. "A" Co. Pos. "B" Co. Bayle F Scholl Anderson F Leonard Smith C McKennen Buesching G Bell Klepper G Skogland

"A" Wins Fourth Straight Game The powerful attack of "A" Co. again

proved successful in gaining a 30-17 victory over their rivals, "C" Co. In the first three minutes of play, the losers scored three field goals to their opponent's none, and the game then seemed like anything but promising for the "A" company basketeers. The score at the half, however, found the victors in front holding the long end of the 12-8 score.

The outstanding players for the win- ners were Joe Anderson and Kleppev while Benge and Furman led their team- mates in aggressiveness of play. "A" Co. Pos. "C" Co. Bayle F Rainey Anderson F Finklestein Smith C Furman Klepper G Benge Buesching G C anedy

U. of Virginia Frosh Easily Defeated by Kable Hoopmen

The Golden Basketeers defeated the U. of Va. Freshmen, 41-16, on the Char- lottesville court on January 21. S. M. A. ran up a substantial lead in the first half, and held it quite effectively throughout the remainder of the game. Chapman led the scoring for S. M. A. with McAninch and Lehman close second behind. Klein starred for the home team.

The first half was very fast and end- ed with the Blue and Gold on the long end of a 26-5 score. Substitutions were frequent, especially by the freshmen.

In the second helf S. M. A. maintained its lead and succeeded in increasing it by four points. Patton, of the home team was put out of the game for making four personal fouls. Fouls were very frequent throughout the fracas. S. M. A. received twenty-seven free shots and sunk thirteen of them. The Fresh^ men were awarded with eight shots and made only two of them.

The Frosh played three men in every position during the game. The Hilltop- pers used only six substitutes against ten for the home squad.

The lineups follow: o

Golden Basketeers Defeat V. M. I. Frosh at Lexington

Culver Sharpshooters Beat S. M. A. in One Sided Contest

Last Saturday the Blue and Gold sharpshooters fired a match against the Culver Military Academy, the New Mexico M. A., and the Anteneo De Manila Corps of Cadets, of Manila, P. I. On account of the distance of the last mentioned school, the P. M. S. & T. has not as yet received the scores from them. However, Culver sent in the ex- ceptional score of 3677, while S. M. A. only shot a 3486. Culver's score is an exceedingly high one for any team to make.

It is interesting to note that in the last three matches that the Golden team has fired, the high scorers have not been the same men. This last match found Baird at the head of the list.

On Friday, January 16th, the Golden basketeers easily defeated the V. M. I. Freshmen by the score of 35 to 14. The game was played on the V. M. I. court at Lexington. The Hilltoppers led from the very first part of the game and gradually increased their lead throughout the remainder of the struggle. Chapman was the high scorer for S. M. A., and Griffith did excellent work at guard until the last half, when he was removed from the game for excessive fouls. Lehman and McAninch gave Chapman a close fight for the high scoring honors. Smith led the scoring for V. M. I. by sinking five out of seven fouls and scoring one field goal.

The entire game was very fast with the Golden men outplaying their oppon- ents. Coach Summers made use of five substitutes while V. M. I. used only two.

Someone has advanced the opinion that the letter "e" is the most important char- acter in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in hell all the time.

But we call attention to the fact that "e" is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease, and the end of trouble. Without it there would be no meat, no life, and no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect and without it there would be no edi- tors, devils, or news.

The beginning of eternity. The end of time and peace. The beginning of every end. And the end of every place. o

Boxers Defeat Greenbrier Six to One Last Saturday

Last Saturday night the S. M. A. boxers defeated the Greenbrier Military School leather-pushers, six bouts to one. The fights were staged in Kable Gym, with Lt. Slattery refereeing all the bouts. The evening was barren of knockouts, although there were a few fights which nearly resulted in k. o.'s.

The first bout, the 119 lb. class, resulted in a three round decision in favor of Morse, R. B., over Berglund, of the visitors. Both were fast and were using their left jabs effectively. Berg- lund's face was badly battered, and Morse received slight bruises below his right eye. Morse edged ahead at the start and widened the gap throughout the bout. Morse is proving to be a very clever fighter who packs a nice left jab and a powerful right. When Morse's youth and lack of experience are taken into consideration, his record is little short of remarkable.

In the 129 pound class, Tomanek, J., outpointed Essick, of Greenbrier, after a four round match. Tomanek had a slight edge in the first and third rounds, but a fall after a hard exchange of heavy blows and a right hook to the stomach by Essick called for a fourth round. This round went to Tomanek easily after he had floored his opponent with a right to the mid section immediately below the heart. Essick took a count of nine, but succeeded in evading the sleeping potion for the remainder of the round. Tomanek is much improved over last year and has demonstrated great ability so far this season.

Meyer, F. H., S. M. A. veteran, defeated Phipps in three rounds in the 139 pound class.. Meyer showed his best form and administered terrific punishment throughout the bout. Phipps, however, proved to be an iron man who couldn't be knocked out. He took the greatest amount of punishment without being knocked out that has been seen for some time at this school. He demonstrated a decided improvement over his showing in the V. of Va. Frosh scrap. Meyer showed every bit of his clever-

ness and punch and his chances for the championship are apeparing very high.

In the 149 pound class Rusk, of Green- brier met Ribinicky, of S. M. A. Ribin- icky won on a three round decision. The first round was very close, but Ribinicky drew away to a substantial lead in the latter rounds. Both fighters showed powerful punches, and were also excellent on the defense. Ribinicky is a new fighter at S. M. A. and is showing great promise.

In the fifth bout the 164 pound class, Dotson, of Greenbrier, won a four round decision over Perini, of S. M. A. The first two rounds were very close, with Dotson showing a slight superior- ity. In the third round Perini came to the front by giving Dotson a terrific hammering. However, this was not suf- ficient to prevent the fight going to the fourth round. Early in the fourth round Perini's bad knee gave way, causing him to be on the defensive. Although Dot- son was unable to hit Perini, the fact that he was on the offensive gave him the fight. Up until the time of his in- jury Perini showed his old time form which carried him successfully through last season.

The sixth bout proved to be the humorous affair of the evening. Hanson, R. E., of S. M. A., met Felker, of Green- brier in a four round battle. Both were heavy hitters with little science. They seemed unable to hurt each other and many humorous instances presented themselves. In the fourth round Han- son made excellent use of his left and won the fight through the use of his left jab. Hanson packs a powerful punch and when he absorbs more of Capt. Taylor's coaching on ring-tactics he should be an outstanding fighter.

In the unlimited class, Cramer defeated Stewart, of Greenbrier in a four round fracas. Both men landed many blows, and the first three rounds were sufficiently even to merit a fourth round. In this round Cramer nearly knocked his man out. After the gong Stewart collapsed in his corner and had to be worked over for about five minutes to bring him to full consciousness. Cramer has developed rapidly under Capt. Tay- lor's tutelege and is one of the strongest units of the team.
