Advance Sales Near Quota Set For Final Hop

Ticket sales for June Finals are nearing the 400 mark according to the latest figures gathered . from Rux Birnie, chairman of the Dance Committee and his ticket agents. More than 130 tickets had been sold by Saturday, Rux said.

An additional 215 tickets were sold to the sororities Monday night, Betty Mills, ticket agent, stated yesterday. This brings ,the ap­proximate total to 345 tickets leav-

ing 55 to be hold by May 6 in order to meet the advance sale quota.

Sorority presidents were con­tacted Monday and eight agreed to buy 25 tickets and one 15 tickets. Checks for these sales totaling $1419.00 will be collected by today, Betty said.

Handbills and posters have been plastered in all available places on the campus and unique advertising stunts are being planned, accord­ing to Frank Beale, member of the Dance Committee working on sale of tickets. A thermometter has been placed on "jockey corner" with blank spaces for a band at the top. As soon as enough money has been obtained for one band member the space will be filled in with the ultimate goal of having a complete band.

"I have complete confidence that we will have June Finals this year," Rux stated in regard to student response being manifested.

Too Many Husbands** Ends Theatre Season Tonight;

Woodberry, Rand, Weaver Star In Maugham Comedy William and Mary players will

complete the 1945-46 season when the curtain opens on W. Somerset Maugham's comedy, Too Many Husbands, tonight at 8:00, in Phi Beta Kappa Hall. The farce on English manners will end the series of varied productions given this year: Pygmalion* Murder in the Cathedral, and Ladies in Re­tirement.

The cast of the play is as fol­lows: William, Walter Weaver; Frederick, Sumner Rand; Victoria, Marilyn Woodberry; Leicester Paton, Gene Heck; Mr. Raham, Joe Buchanan; Miss Montmorency, Ginna Lewis; Mrs. Shuttleworth, Gene Griffin; Miss Denis, Macy Diggs; Mrs. Pogson, Jill Stauf; Taylor, Marianne Lewis-Jones; Nannie, Nancy Adams; Clarence, Dick Bethards.

Play Goes To West Point, Va. Too Many Husbands will be pre­

sented in Williamsburg tonight and Thursday, and will be given at West Point, Va., under the aus­pices of the Kiwanis Club, on Fri­day evening.

The play concerns the dilemmas of Victoria ("a dear little thing,". according to Maugham), who finds that she is married to two men, William (a hero previously report­ed dead) and Frederick (another hero and the first husband's best friend). With the aid of Mr. Paton (a wrangler), Mr. Raham,(a solicitor), Miss" "Montmorency (a maiden lady), and Mrs. Shuttle-worth (a mother-in law) the pro­blem is solved.

Victoria describes herself as a woman who doesn't want to be understood, "just loved." Fre­derick says of himself that he has a charming nature and is extreme­ly handsome, while William de­clares himself to be an "almost

perfect specimen of manly beau­ty."

Mr. Raham, who believes that there must be absurd laws to break or, "how else would lawyers earn their living?" says that Miss Montmorency. has "figured in practically all the fashionable di­vorces of the last 15 years." Mrs. Shuttleworth states that "the men who wear spats always make the best husbands." Mr. Paton is the man who wears them.

Miss Hunt Directs Miss Althea Hunt is director of

the play and Miss Phyllis Kendall is designer and technician. Assist­ant to the director is Bristow Har­din Jr.; assistants in production are Wilford Leach and John Wells.

Debate Team Journeys

To 4 Southern Colleges William and Mary's Debate team

meets four opponents this week on the first leg of its southern cir­cuit. The debaters left Monday for Columbia, S. C , where they met the University of South Caro­lina last night. From there they continue to Florida where they face three engagements—the Uni­versity of Florida at Tallahassee, Florida State Women's College at Gainsville, and Miami University • at Miami.

Successful in their northern trip when they defeated Temple Uni- . versify and Columbia University, the team is looking for decisions in the southern trip which will give it a better than 50 per cent aver­age for the season.

Ann Anderson is manager of the southern trip and Nancy Grube and Kenneth Scott will speak for William and Mary. The 1946 national debate topic is "Resolved: That the foreign policy of the United States should be directed toward the establishment of free trade among the nations of the world."

Following their return next week, the southern team will sub­sequently meet the University of Richmond and the University of Virginia completing the year's schedule.

Student Assembly . . .

. . . Must Do Something "What ever happened to the Point System, anyway?" somebody

asked the other day. It's an interesting question. W e think the en­tire student body should have the story.

The Point System started out in a committee of the Inter-Club Council. The committee worked out a System. The Inter-Club Council pass'ed it. The Student Assembly passed it. Then the Senate took it to the General Co-operative Committee and the trouble began. Someone, sowehow, gave Co-op the impression that although the As­sembly passed the System they didn't really mean it.

A week later it began to look as if the detractors were right, because the Assembly reversed its decision and referred the Point System back to the Inter-Club Council. The Inter-Club Council hasn't met as we write this or we'd probably be able to report that the System was now back in the original committee.

This is an example of extreme inefficiency. There are two ex­planations: 1) the Assembly didn't think it out the first time, or 2) the Assembly is letting itself be "run" by a few people whotare willing to defeat the majority opinion by swaying the suggestible members of the Assembly. Either explanation speaks ill for the Student Assembly.

The new Assembly will be elected Friday. On that aday, the students will name representative's who will conduct the business of student legislation for a full year. Among those representatives there is no place for either suggestible students or those who will ignore the majority, will.

When the Point System comes up for the third time, it will -appear before the new group—a group starting with a clean slate. This is an opportunity for the Assembly to start afresh and prove to us that they know their function, that they are not so eager to get through with meetings that they will disregard the business brought before them. This time the students expect a decision.

Problem Needs . . .

. . . Serious Consideration W e have hashed over and griped in F L A T H A T editorials all

year long for the things that the students want. It takes more than talk to accomplish anything and it seems to take, more than talk or writing to put on any pressure to clear up many situations that seem important to us. Putting the college back on a pre-war basis is not an easy task. However, for four years the war was used as an excuse for everything, and now that the war is over it still is just a matter of waiting, no one knows how long, to have some cooperation on stu­dent problems.

This matter of cooperation is a problem for both the adminis­tration and the students. Each group seems to be confident that the other is in the wrong. Yet neither group can get together on causes or remedies. If the students complain, it is the administration's fault; And the administration constantly claims that students themselves are to blame for their dissatisfactions.

Realizing too, that discussion and planning are necessary before changes can be made, we would like to state some of the problems that seem to us to need careful attention and study. W e will not attempt to evaluate them at present, but are presenting them, because they need consideration. -

(1) Social Problems . . .Do women need as much regulation as the present set of social rules provide?

(2) Honor System . . . is it really working as it should and are students willing to accept the responsibility involved ?

(3) Cafeteria . . . the complaints about the food are numerous should the students be allowed to eat where they please rather than be forced to buy a food book each month ?

(4) ' Student Government. . . what does it mean to the students ; can it assume its latent power ?

(5) Campus politics . . . are they a necessary evil? (6) Fine Arts Department . . . will the college backing neces­

sary to make this department a first rate one be forthcoming? Wil l the students show active interest ?

_ (7) Recreation Facilities . . . will the much needed Student Union Budding materialize from a fictional dream?

J . L. R.

RUX CAN'T DO IT ALONE . . . . We have all been hearing much talk and see­

ing beaucoup in print about June Finals. Per­haps we have heard and seen too much which did not exactly tell us the score. At the risk of being a bore. I would like to present an outline of the situa­tion which confronts us, as I see it.

William and Mary, during and before the late President Bryan's regime, presented each spring during graduation week end, one of the most glam­orous and bang-up college dances given anywhere in the country. It was an event to be remembered, an event to which, each June, flocked countless alumni and friends of the college. That much, I'm sure, most of you know.

It was the policy of the college, dating back to the second decade of this century, to actually pre­sent, if not underwrite, these dances. But the work of presenting these affairs, and putting them over, fell to the students. The students in those glorious days did not merely sit back and reap in the bene­fices of a benevolent administration. They worked to make June Finals the successes they were.

Now, in our first post-war year,,we have a new' president, one who, like so many of us, never saw a June Finals at William and Mary. Naturally, being the prudent man he is, he keeps an eye on the purse strings. But he has been ill-advised . . . . and consequently, the college is not underwriting our dance.

We can still, however, have our dance. We can have it, that is, if we (you, your roommate, my roommate, and me) want, it enough. Too many of

Honor Council Should

Tell Election Totals By HARRY STINSON

r

The student body at the College of William and Mary has emerged from two weeks of intense poli­tical activity. Probably more words have been uttered and less" actually said than at any other time during the last four years on this campus. The number of students voting in the last election indicated that interest in campus affairs has been awakened.

The votes were cast, the votes were counted, and the results posted. But in announcing the re­sults of the elections the number of votes each can­didate received was withheld. Only the members of the men's and women's honor council who par­ticipated in the counting of ballots know the actual figures on the votes cast.

It is apparent that many students other than honor council members are desirous of knowing the figures also. Consequently those who counted the ballots are hounded by other students who are curious to know how close the race was. When approached, the member of the>honor council can only say that he is not allowed to disclose any figures. The inquiring student usually conveys the impression that he is entitled to know. Actual­ly, why should the majority of the student body be deprived of any facts pertaining to its own elec­tions?

There is in the constitution no provision made whereby figures of the elections are to be guarded as they are now. It has been merely a custom with the honor councils that the distribution of votes be held secret within the records of each council. Obviously there are some reasons that publishing the cedure. It has been claimed that publishing the figures of the elections would show the candidates where they stood and hence somebody's feelings might be hurt. Is this not a childish way to approach the situation? Elections for student body organizations should not be considered popularity contests. If a candidate receives an embarrassing low number of votes it should serve as a means of making it known to that candidate that he is in the eyes of his fellow students not qualified for office. It does not necessarily mean that the can­didate is not liked as a person, -, and only a one­sided viewpoint would permit such an interpre­tation.

Publishing the number of votes cast for each candidate could certainly provide the student body with more stimulation for voting. Not infrequently elections on this campus are won by the slight mar­gin of five or six votes. Especially is -this true when only a small number of students vote. How­ever, the student body never knows whether the margin of victory for a candidate was five or 500. If the figures were made public anyone could easily see that the election might have been quite a dif-

the students have accumulated a propensity for waiting for Things which Drop in Laps. Let's eliminate the waiting laps by getting off our col­lective seats, digging in the pockets, buying the tickets, and thereby giving Rux Birnie something with which to bargain.

If we don't get a good band, we get pur dough back. If we don't get on the ball and buy our tickets today, those who have bought their tickets will be getting refunds.

Of course, we could look at it unselfishly. If we can put this dance over, the Purse Strings will have no excuse for not underwriting next year's event. Then the future Rux Birnie's will not lose hair they can't afford to part with. In fact, I think I'll buy a ticket just to try to remove the circles Rux has developed under his eyes worrying about the dance.

ROW ON ROW Poppy Day, sponsored by the Veterans of

Foreign Wars, will make its appearance on this campus and in Williamsburg in about three weeks.

Poppy Day is familiar to many people for it is "on that day that artificial poppies are sold throughout the nation to give support to a worthy project. The V. F. W. maintains a home in Eaton Rapids, Mich., to provide for the families of those veterans who gave their lives in the defense of this country. These poppies are made by disabled vet­erans and convalescent veterans in military hos­pitals.. It is not a means of income for these vet­erans, but it is their way of assisting these families and endorsing such a chariable project. We can go even further by buying these poppies and contri­buting money to show our appreciation and grati­tude.

These artificial poppies will be sold throughout Williamsburg and on the campus by various mem­bers of the V. F. W. and by the local Boy Scout Troop. It has been suggested that at the dance of May 18, no corsages of regular flowers be worn by the coeds. Instead, the coeds will wear cor­sages of poppies which will be sold at the door. The price of these corsages will be only that which you wish to contribute.

After last week end Schmidt's can afford to overlook the ' profits they might otherwise receive . . . in fact, they would probably endorse it.

Letter To The Editor

To the Student Body: The Men's and Women's Honor Councils wish

to announce that there will be no re-voting for the office of Secretary-Treasurer of the Sophomore Class. Because of a re-count of the ballots, it was found that no tie exists. Therefore, the election has been decided in favor of T'uga Wilson.

fernt story. In other words, the student body would better appreciate the importance of voting.

Why are these campus elections so different from any other elections where complete tabulations of the voting are given? If a candidate is afraid it will become known that he made a poor show­ing, that candidate should not have entered the contest for office.

True, it probably is not so important to know how many votes the candidates received as it is to know which candidates were victorious. However, in view of the fact that elections here are supposed to be conducted in a manner becoming to college students, it hardly seems necessary to worry about protecting the feelings of "students who have enough confidence in themselves to run for office.

E x - W A C Officer — —

Becomes W - M Dietician By TERRIE HOWE

"Just a moment, please." It was long distance for Betsy Douglas. Would she like to take a job as dietician at William and Mary? "Well," said the Lt. Colonel, "If you want to get out, you can." Thus, Betsy cut short her army career and returned to her alma mater. "I was supposed to have 30 points, be married, or be 35. I didn't qualify on any," laughed Betsy. "I got out on a public welfare clause."

After her graduate work in Boston, she became a hospital dietician in the army, and did hospital work from then on.. "I miss it," she said, "The boys were good patients. But there's something about this place that gets you." So she's back—this time on the other side of the food counter.

Betsy starts off at 5:30 a. m. and works until the early after­noon, when Mrs. Dee takes over. Her job is to order from the store­room, and supervise the personnel and cleanliness. "You don't have to know patients' case histories here," she said, "but it's a big job. I feel like I'm back in school, working eight hours a day and studying every night."

Betsy, who lives in the Tyler Hall apartments on campus, is right into things again. She's go­ing to play her cello in the or­chestra as she used to; she helps on committees; she serves on the Pi Beta Phi alumni board; and is "still dragging back from the ten­nis court after a big game." "So many of the class of '43 are back too; so it's really fun!" said Betsy.

Mary DeVoI, Mel Wright Reign At May Day Formal

Queen Mary DeVoI and King Mel Wright are the center of atten­tion at the May Dance one minute after the spotlight revealed the well-kept secret of the identity of the moharchs.

By JANE COLEMAN

Amidst a gay whirl of pastels and soft music, the May season was ushered in last Saturday night at the annual May Day dance. Climaxing the evening's frivolity, Mary DeVol and Mel Wright were crowned May Queen and King. Dr.'Pomfret placed the crown of flowers on Mary, while Mrs. Pom-fret crowned Mel.

The ceremony of crowning took place during intermission, after 17 members of the choir, Melon Bovie, Marjorie Dykes, Marjorie Bowman, Kitty Settle, Monie Price, .Liz Mylander, Jill Stauf, Bob Ascherl, Tom Athey, Howard Hyle, Ted Bailey, Bob DeForest, Joan Stout, Jackie Freer, Jack Hoey, Bill Hux, and Warren Smith, rendered two favorite melodies: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, and Night and Day.

-Flower girls sprinkled r rose petals up the aisle while the crown bearers followed .directly behind. Then, to the strains of Maytime, Dick Baker and Ann Vineyard; Bonnie Wolfgram and Stan Hud-gins; Fran Moore and Tommy Smith; Jan Freer and Harry Stin-son; Mary DeVol and Red Wood; Jerry Healy and Mel Wright

walked the length of the gym­nasium to where the throne was placed. The lights were turned off, and immediately following, a spot' light was turned on ' the thrones where reigned the new king and queen.

Pastel shades of pink, blue, green, yellow, and white crepe paper draped both gyms. Ex­tending from the balcony, the paper met together at the may­pole which was plaited with the light-colored streamers. A white lattice-work fence outlined a small promenade around both the gyms.

Refreshments were served in the lounge. Pink candle-light cast delicate shadows on an ivy trim­med fence which marked a walk to the refreshment table, where punch and small chocolate cakes were "being served.

Eddie Travis's Band from New­port News, Va., played for the dance, and they featured Betty Jane Curtis as the vocalist. Among' the pieces played were the follow­ing popular numbers: Day by Day, Seems Like Old Times, Oh, What It Seemed To Be, and Tomorrow Is Forever.

The May Day Dance was spon­sored by the WSCGA. The Execu­tive Council, under the direction of Pat Jones, planned the decora­tions and entertainment for it.

Rux Birnie, head of the dance committee, was the master of cere­monies during intermission.

Tribe Netters Trample Army, Navy Indians Rout Cadets, 9-0; Middies Crushed By 8-1

SPORTS SPIEL By BUD JONES

At the recent tennis matches here there have been several breaches of tennis etiquette on the part of the fans.

When a William and Mary op­ponent makes an error, clapping is not in order. Naturally during a rough match the spectators are excited and want to show their enthusiasm by clapping when a man gets a point. However, when the player makes a point by put­ting the ball away, an ovation is desirous. This is true whether a William and Mary man makes the point or if an opponent makes the point. It is probably very aggra­vating tp a player when a huge roar goes up when he makes a mistake.

Several times in a match there are long volleys with plenty of good shots. Here also, there is a tendency to clap. This should be held until the end of the point.

W-M Coach Dick Gallagher has an­

nounced that the track meet scheduled for Saturday at Cary Field between the Tribe and the Wake Forest Deacons has been moved up to Friday.

Despite the lopsided scores against the locals in- track com­petition .it must be realized that it takes time to build up a good team in any sport. A good example of this is the football squad. It has taken two years to build up that team to what it is today. Therefore we expect that in a couple of years William and Mary will be well represented on the cinder paths.

One of the reasons for the scores in track is that only one man is entered in some events. Second and third places add up points also. We realize, however, that the squad is extremely small and the talent not too well dispersed.

W-M The Indian net squad faces

Princeton today and then returns to play host to Wake Forest on Friday and Miami on Monday.

Behind Boyda, 5-4 Putting on a ninth inning rally

that feil one run short of tying, the Big Green baseball team lost to the Washington and Lee Gen­erals, 5-4, on April 26, at Cary Field.

Jimmy Stewart was the starting and losing hurler for the Tribe, as he was knocked out of the box in the sixth, having given up all the visitors' runs and twelve hits. Boyda was the winning pitcher, for the Generals, handcuffing the Tribe hitters all the way.

Behind 5-2 as the last inning began, the Braves put two runs across, but failed to bring in the tying run from third. Isaacs be­gan the inning on a single with one away. Bernhard then popped to Schneider at third, but Harry Robison slammed a two-base hit into left field to put runners at second and first.

Tommy Korczowski brought in the runs when he sent a hot grounder at the third baseman, who couldn't quite handle the ball and let it roll into left field, Tom­my taking second on the play. Doc Post took several pitches, includ­ing a passed ball which allowed Korczowski to take third, before he finally lifted a foul to left field for the third out.

The winners took the .lead in the second inning when Smith came around on a single, an error, and a single by Boyda. The Tribe came back in the bottom half of

W-M Defeats Peary Pirates

The Big Green batsmen staged a one-run ninth inning rally to break a three-all tie and beat the Camp Peary Pirates on Cary Field last Monday,.

Knocking in the winning run on a squeeze play, the Redmen took their seventh triumph of the season, and made it two wins over the visitors. Bob Gill started the game for the locals, and went all the way, allowing three runs on seven hits, and striking out nine while walking only three.

With the score tied at three all Les Hooker opened the ninth on a single off relief pitcher Fauth, "nd took second on a passed ball. Les was causht. off second, but reached third safely when the short stop, attempting to throw to third, hit Hooker in the back. Bill Lucas laid down a bunt toward first, and Hooker came roaring over home plate with the winning run.

Braves Score First The Tribe opened the scoring in

the second when Hooker tripled into left field. With two out Isaacs knocked the first run in on a single, and took second on an error. Lane Phillips brought Isaacs in on another safety.

The Pirates tied the score in the third on a walk and two hits, but the locals came right back to score another. Uetcher walked, stole second, took third on an error. find came in on an infield out. The Pirates knotted it again in the sixth with two hits and a stolen base.

V M I Track Team Defeats Redmen

Indian supporters had little to cheer about at Virginia Military Institute last Saturday, as the Cadet thinclads easily beat the William and Mary team 82-44.

Despite a cold wind and a soggy track, fair times were registered, with the VMI men taking 11 out of 14 first places. The Cadets took all three places in the two mile run, high jump and broad jump. The Tri-color copped two firsts, Lizana winning the discus event, and Deierhoi winning the 120 yard high hurdles. The Tribe also managed to take seven second places and five third places. " Jack Hutchinson, of VMI, was

high scorer of the meet with 13 points. He scored, easy wins in the 220-yard dash, 220-yard low hurdles, and was second to Lynn Chewning in the 100-yard dash. The only other double winner was Frank Liddell, another Cadet, who took first in the mile and two mile runs.

By ED GRIFFIN William and Mary's great tennis team turned in two spectacular

victories last week end to begin their Northern invasion as they routed Navy, 8-1, and crushed a-'highly-touted Army squad byr9-0.

Gardner La'rned added two more brilliant victories to his record and gave further proof, if any were needed, that he is headed for high . national ranking. The Tribe star dropped only six games in his singles competition.

In extending their winning streak to 18 consecutive triumphs, the Indians found very little competi­tion at either Annapolis or West Point, taking all except one of their wins in straight sets. The sole setback came in the final doubles match with the Middies, when Bert Ranee and George Mil­ler bowed to Tom Tift and Mike Vogt, two plebes.

Lamed led off with a swift 6-2, 6-2 triumph over Jim Doyle, top man for the Navy, to get the com­petition under way. The remain­ing singles contests were easily taken except for the number two match in which Bren Macken had to go three sets before defeating Freddie Fisher, a plebe.

After a day of rest the Indians met Army on Monday and the Cadets never had a chance. De­spite the fact that heavy rains forced the match to be played in­doors on cement courts, the visi­tors romped through every en­gagement in straight sets, having to win more than six games in only 4 of the 18.

Charles Oliver, Army's best, was ranked eighth nationally in 1944 and boasts victories over Ted Schroeder and Sidney Wood, but against Larned he was virtually helpless. The powerful Tribe star shellacked him by scores of 6-2, 6-0.

Details of the fine play of Bart-zen, the Mackens, Galloway, and Doll can be found in the following scores.

Coed Netters To Compete In Mid-Atlantic Tournament

Having tucked one win away with their 5-0 defeat of Sweet-briar college, the William and Mary co-ed tennis team journeys north today with the hopes of beat­ing two college opponents and cop­ping the Middle Atlantic Intercol­legiate Championships.

On Thursday the squaws will meet Swarthmore in a pre-tourney warm-up. Swarthmore boasts some of the best plajers on the Eastern Seaboard with Gloria Evans, defending Middle Atlantic champion, heading the list.

Collegiate Tournament Bryn Mawr, Pa., will be the

scene of the collegiate tournament starting May 3. Entry blanks were received by a large number of colleges throughout the United States, including numerous col­leges on the West coast. At this date neither the size nor the cali­bre of the draw^is known. .

Miss Martha Barksdale, W-M tennis mentor, has entered six singles players and three doubles

teams. Passow, Macken, Davis, Oak,, Cromwell and Coumbe will vie for the singles trophy while the doubles duos will be formed as follows: Passow and Coumbe, Macken and Davis, and Cromwell and Oak. !

Future Opponents The Williamsburgers will round

out the trip against Temple Uni­versity, which is also competing in the collegiate contest, on Saturday, after which they, will meet four opponents in quick succession here.

North Carolina will invade the campus, May 11, to try to avenge last year's defeat handed them by the Squaws. Two days later Wil­liam and Mary will play host to the Richmond Country Club, squad which also dropped a de­cision to the local netters last sea­son, and that match will be fol­lowed by meetings with Ursinus College of Philadelphia and West-

, hampton on May 15 and 18.

Skirts In Sports By BETTY OOUMBE

It is difficult to find anyone in the United States who has bene­fited the game Of tennis more than Mrs . . George Wightman. With a background and record that reads like a good fiction book, the lively Bostonian has devoted her lifetime to halting the commercialization of the sport and raising the standards of women tennis.

Uuusual Feats Few people can comprehend the

perservence, concentration, and skill required of a person to win contests under the peculiar condi­tions Mrs. Wightman found herself at times.

In self-defense the former Hazel Hotchkiss entered her first tourna­ment, the Bay County Tourney, in California, a very short time after she started playing tennis. The contest was held on cement courts, a surface completely foreign to her, yet she won the title with comparative ease.

Perhaps the fact hardest to un­derstand came about in 1909, the year ' she won her first National Singles Championship at Philadel­phia. Never having seen a grass court before, Mrs. Wightman went out and defeated everyone, in­cluding the defending champion, Mrs. Wallach. It is a known fact that two or three weeks is neces­sary to accustom one to grass courts; however, with the idea of keeping the the ball coming back and capitalizing on her opponents' errors she gained an excellent ad­vantage.

A project of the

CANTERBURY CLUB

. Completing C o a c h Martha Barksdale's varsity net squad, in fifth and sixth positions, are Mar-gy Oak and Hunt Cromwell. Mar-gy will be playing on the team for her second year,, while Hunt, a freshman, is making her debut for the Squaws this season.

Margy confesses that she always thought that "tennis was a dumb game." She began playing when she was 14 years old and only be­cause a doctor told her it would be good for her eyes. Since then she has learned to eat her words about the sport and also has pro­gressed rapidly in playing skill.

Coming from the small town of Bound Brook, New Jersey, Margy found no one to play with except boys. So she took an extra bite of courage and went out for the boys' tennis team at her high school. She made the team, but in an odd sort of a way. When her Alma Mater was leading by a wide margin, the coach sent her in to play doubles with the team's number one play­er. "So you see," she explained, "we were sure to win." At other times she contented herself with the hallowed position of water girl. ' When Marge came to William

and Mary she played her first match with a member of her own sex. She started her college career in 1943 by playing the number one spot for Barrett Hall.

Last year she made the varsity squad, playing in the number five position. In matches with North Carolina, the Norfolk Division, and the Hermitage Tennis Club of Richmond, Marge downed all her opponents to earn an undefeated season.

In this year's initial match with Sweet Briar, Margy teamed .with Hunt Cromwell in the number two doubles match. The team earned an easy victory in straight sets. ,

Hunt Cromwell has been playing tennis ever since she was a little girl, but her serious playing began about six years ago. She was a "ball girl" at a tournament at the Baltimore Country Club when she decided she really liked the sport.

Her first competitive tennis came when she played on the var­sity team at the Roland Park Country School in her home town, Baltimore, Md. She played varsity for two years, acting as captain her last year. At the same time

she captured the" tournament at the school.

Continuing h e r tournament playing, Hunt took runner-up po­sition in the doubles contests in the Maryland State Senior Wo­men's Tennis Division. In discus­sing • her' other contests, Hunt pointed out that she played Doris Hart. With pride, she stated, "I got one point." Then with a little laugh, she added, "She made doubles on a serve."

As an early climax to her career, Hunt earned a position on the Junior Wightman Cup Squad about five years ago.

the inning on a fielder's choice, an error by the shortstop Smith, and singles by Stewart and Korczow--ski, which allowed Fox and Phil­lips to score.

The visitors then went on to score single tallies in the third and fourth innings, to tie the score, and then go ahead. In the sixth an error, two singles, and a walk brought in two more runs for the Generals and sent Stewart to the showers for his first loss.

Coed Tennis Team

Down Sweet Briar Winning every match in straight

sets, the William and Mary coed tennis squad racked up a 5-0 vic­tory in its initial tournament last Saturday against Sweet Briar Col­lege. The games were played on the courts at the Williamsburg Inn because the college courts were too wet for play.

Elaine Passow, playing in the number one spot, used her strategy to conquer Nancy Waite, 6-3, 6-2, in a one-sided match. Pat Macken downed Cynthia Bemiss in the number two match, 6-1, 6-1, while Beegie Grant made a quick job of Ann Lile by the same score.

Playing in the number one doubles spot for the Squaws, Betty Coumbe and Barbara Davis shel­lacked Ann Samford. and Rose­mary Gugert. The Tri-Color duet dropped only two games in the en­tire match. Remembering various pointers from Mrs. Wightman, Coumbe and Davis showed im­proved form and excellent place­ment shots.

Completing the victory for the coeds, were Margy Oak and Hunt Cromwell, who played in the number two doubles position. They conquered Nancy Dowd and Joan McCoy from Sweet Briar, 6-2, 6-2.

Tri Delt, Chandler Capture Mural Honors In Softball

Going undefeated in three games, Tri Delt and Chandler have won won first place honors in their respective leagues. In the sorority League B, Chi Omega and Pi Beta Phi are tied for the lead, each having won two games.

Chi Omega scored 22 runs to defeat Alpha Chi Omega on Mon­day, April 22. The Chi O's were successful in their scoring until the Alpha Chi's, changing their defensive tactics, prevented the winners from making more than four runs during the last innings. The Chi O team allowed their opponents to cross home plate only three times.

On the same day the Chi Omega second team, in a tight game, racked up 10 runs to seven for Kappa Kappa Gamma's second team. This game was the only one which the Kappa team has lost during the playing period.

Kappa Wins Tuesday saw Kappa Kappa Gamma slugging out a victory against

the Gamma Phi Beta team. The winning team adding constantly to the score, chalked up 24 runs and never permitted the Gamma Phi's to score during the entire contest.

, During the first four innings of the Phi Mu-Tri Delt game, the Phi Mu's, with good fielding, kept the Tri Delts from making more than four tallies, while they acquired nine runs out of their ten during this time. The Tri Delts, after changing their outfielders, scored 11 more runs to win the game.

Jefferson Bows On Wednesday, Barrett players

taking the lead in the first inning and keeping it throughout the match, won their first game from Jefferson with a final score of 23-10. Tri Delt's second team, in a hard-fought game, finally lost to the Kappa second team 15-10. A last inning spurt of seven runs by the losers was not enough for them to win the game.

Preventing the Kappa Alpha Theta second team from crossing the plate more than once, the Chi Omega second team defeated the Theta second team, 39-1. The Theta second team forfeited to Chi O third, as did Monroe to Chandler and Jefferson, thus giv­ing Chandler its championship and Chi O its first victory.

The standing in the various lea­gues are as follow:

(Continued from Page 6) her long illustrious career, Mrs. Wightman chose her 1924 Olym­pics in which she represented the United States as a member of the tennis squad. Teamed with Helen Willis, the University of California graduate copped the Olympic doubles crown and partnered with Dick Williams to win the mixed doubles championship also. (Since the event has not been held since that year Mrs. Wightman is still Olympic doubles champion.)

When a player scores a point for her country, the contestants, immediately after the match, walk to the center flagpole where the flag of the victor's country is raised and the National Anthem of that country is played. To Mrs. Wightman this marked the high­light in her sports world.

Tennis Psychology As captain and player on the

Wightman Cup team, the New Englander gleaned numerous facts and theories that contributed to the rise or downfall of many great players.

Mrs. Wightman's presence at William and Mary was inspiring to many. In the limited time avail­able she presented a stroke an­alysis and set down various rules to follow that will benefit all who heard her.

Jack Netcher, W-M Outfielder, Has Excellent Sports Record

Jack Netcher, Tribe outfielder, brings to William and Mary an outstanding high school record. Born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Jack later moved to Asbury Park, New Jersey where he began a highly versatile sports career.

He first became acquainted with American sports in junior high school and played four years of baseball in high school. He alter­nated between the outfield and catcher's slot and his superlative play caused his selection to the All-State team in '41-'42. Jack was also team captain these two years and his high school batting average was a powerful .465.

Not only was Jack outstanding in baseball but he was All-State in football in '40-'41-'42 and was named to the All-State basketball five in '41. His terrific pjay on the gridiron in the fullback posi­tion was in a large part the reason Jack was given the distinction of being chosen the outstanding New Jersey athlete in 1942.

Entering the army in January, 1943, Jack shipped overseas in March, 1943. He was with the 34th division in Africa and later was assigned to the 8th Replace­ment Depot in Italy. Jack was a member of the Depot's baseball team which boasted several big leaguers, and the team won 54 straight games to secure the Italian championship. - Like most of the Yanks who went to foreign coun­tries Jack says he passed up the opportunity to enjoy Italian litera­ture in the original. However, he did learn enough Italian to secure the essentials of life.

Jack returned to the States in November, 1945 and after looking

over several schools decided on William and Mary. A Sigma Chi and a major in physical education, Jack plans to coach, although he has received offers from several big league ball clubs.

Stewart Shuts Out Richmond By 5-0

Jim Stewart, Tribe .mound ace, hurled three-hit ball to shut out Richmond, 6-0, in a Big Six con­test played at Cary Field last Wednesday.

Stewart, backed up by excellent fielding, struck out five arid issued but one pass as he handcuffed the Spiders. Aside from the trio of safeties which the visitors collect­ed, they were able-to drive only one ball to the outfield.

Lou (Frog) Burdette went all the way for Richmond and turned in a creditable performance, al­lowing just six blows, all singles. However, four errors by his team­mates and the same number of stolen bases by the Indians con­tributed largely to his defeat.

The Braves' first tally was do­nated by their opponents in the opening inning. Bill Post was safe on an error by Kranitzky and immediately proceeded to steal second. A passed ball sent him to third and Jack Netcher's infield out brought him home.

Cox Improves Take-Off, Defies Windy Weather Scott Field Offers Vet Flight Training

By FLETCHER COX

Several of my buddies have been out at the airport this past week, having been drawn out there for the sole purpose of see­ing me botch up a landing or two. It all started "Week before last, when I was first given the chance to do nothing but take the plane off and shoot landings by myself— with the instructor present to ward off impending disaster, of

course. When I returned to the College from my lesson, I guess I did a little bragging, for my land­ings, although lacking in finesse, were a lot better than I had hoped they would ever be. All that I heard in response to my enthusias­tic accounts of three-point land­ings was "Don't get too confident now, because the next time you'll probably, shear off the landing gear."

Disappointed Onlookers My scheduled half-hour of in­

struction was last Tuesday and it was attended by a group of friends intent upon seeing my remains in­termingled with cracked struts and collapsed wings all over Scott Field. Amazingly enough, the landings on Tuesday were pretty good too. It was a disappointed group of onlookers who greeted my return from my last landing. There was only one consolation to their grief at my success—when taking off, I neglected to open the throttle as wide as possible. That netted me a supreme calling down from Mr. Diggs, my insructor. \

Wind Difficulties

Saturday's lesson did dampen my spirits somewhat, for the wind was blowing in gusts, and wind-drift had to be accounted for. My control of the plane still lacks something; for, when correcting for wind drift while landing, I failed to" use the rudder to the fullest extent—the landings left much to be desired. The take-offs were better, for I remembered to open the throttle wide.

Now that I have had five and a half hours of instruction, I guess those wings growing out of my shoulder blades are there to stay. There's a lot more work to do be­fore I can solo; but a definite start has been made.

Mr. G. T. Diggs, of Aviation Services, Inc., has announced that approval has been secured to give flight training under the >G. I. Bill of Rights. Flying may be taken in conjunction with college courses. Those interested should either telephone Scott Field, 265, or call at the airport personally.

Chemistry Scholarships

Offered I n W M Contest With scholarships amounting to

$500 as prizes, representatives of accredited public and private schools competed in the tenth an­nual Chemistry Contest sponsored by the College of William and Mary on Saturday, April 27.

A $300 scholarship, $100 a year' for three years, will go to the per­son who makes the highest marks in the competitive test. The person with the next highest grade will receive $100 for two years.

Contestants spent the week end as guests of the College. Meals and sleeping accommodations were furnished and a tour of the Res­toration was the highlight of the week end's recreation.
