S.M.A. DEFEATS V.M.I. 20-0 IN OPENING GAME Playing under a midsummer sun, Staunton Military academy's football team went down in defeat before a strong Mercersburg (Pa.) Academy eleven last Saturday by the narrow margin of a missed point after touch- down, seven to six. The game was played at Mercersburg. Mercersburg took the lead with a touchdown in the last minutes of the first half. Staunton scored two min- utes before the final whistle as the re- sult of a pass from Hitchcock in mid- field to Klepper on the opponents' forty-yard line, Klepper carrying on to the goal line behind good blocking. The place kick for point was rushed and fell low, failing to tie Mercers- burg's seven-point lead. A hectic first half, in which Mer- cersburg scored with one minute to play, furnished thrills a plenty for the fair crowd of spectators. The home eleven's lone score came as the result of passes from Staunton's forty-three- yard stripe, after Mercersburg had been given first down at that point when the Blue and Gold men were penalized five yards for running into the kicker. Mercersburg made five at right tackle, failed to gain on a line play, and then made it first and ten on Staunton's twenty-three-yard line by (Continued on Page Three) o Hargrave Invades Kable Field Tomorrow at 2:30 The invasion of the Hargrave Mili- tary Academy eleven on Kable Field tomorrow afternoon at 2:3 0 o'clock will mark Staunton's third contest of the current season.

In addition to this job and the ones mentioned at the beginning of this story, Goldwater also finds time to perform the duties of a first lieuten- ant in the reserves, and act as a di- rector of his club.

A. he became a reporter on the Wash- ington Evening Star, which position he held for seven years. He was avia- tion editor of the Star when he left that paper to become general manager of the National Aeronautics Associa- tion in 1928. He was editor of the Aeronautics Review for two years, while manager of the N. A. A., and at the same time associate editor of United States Air Service.

In 193 0, Mr. Neely was appointed to his present position in the govern- ment service. He has gained wide recognition among aviation people through his newspaper and magazine articles, and perhaps no man is more familiar than he is with the develop- ment of aviation in this country since the world war. o

Warren Wants Alumni of Pittsburgh Club

'Coop' French is on Penn A" C. Team

Philadelphia, Pas., Oct. 10.—Connie Mack might well cast his eagle eye in the direction of John Cooper French, hustling shortstop on the Penn A. C. baseball team this year. For "Coop" French is following through his early athletic experience at S. M. A. and Penn State with the same spirit and alertness that made him a star in each of the sports he entered at prep school and college.

Penn A. C. is extremely fortunate in having French. He was one of the most important cogs of the Staunton baseball machine when at S. M. A. and later carried the same ability in college. o—:

Verner S. Warren, '31, of 3824 Brighton Road, Pittsburgh, in a recent letter says: "As an old grad of S. M. A. I have only one regret, and that is there isn't any Staunton alumni or- ganization in Pittsburgh. We have many graduates and ex-cadets here in Pittsburgh and I wish that some one of these boys would-call a meeting and start one."

"Why not start the 'ball rolling' yourself, Verner?" would seem the proper come-back to this statement. Anyway, Mr. Warren has the right idea. There ought to be an active or- ganization of S. M. A. men in Pitts- burgh. Out of the many hundreds of graduates of the Academy from the state of Pennsylvania, several hundred of these men are from Pittsburgh or its immediate vicinity.

Greater Pittsburgh would be ideal ground for working up a real, active association of S. M. A. alumni. Here's hoping Warren and others will do something to bring about such an organization. The editor of this .depart- ment and the KABLEGRAM stand ready to render any assistance possible to- ward such an effort.

Wm. L. Keitt, x-'21, of Hubbard, Texas, a graduate student in the Har- vard Law School, has been awarded the Sidney Thompson fellowship in the law of railroads and other public util- ities. The award is one of the principal research fellowships of the law school and was established in 192 8 by Mrs. Charles Stebbins Fairchild, of Caze- novia, N. Y. Keitt was graduated from the University of Texas in 1926 and obtiined his bachelor of laws de- gree at George Washington University in 1931. During the past two years he has been doing graduate work at the Harvard law school. After graduating from the University of Texas, Keitt taught mathematics at S. M. A. for one session, 1927-1928. o

Wing Soars to Heights in the Movie World

Capt. Perry C. Ragan, '08, (U. S. A.) who is stationed at the Howe School, Howe, Ind. and is Comman- dant of Cadets there was ordered to Fort Knox, Ky. on May 24th to com- mand the 560th Company CCC. On the morning of the 28 th they moved out of Knox for California. Ragan re- ports that the summer with the CCC was most interesting and it was with some reluctance that he was relieved by a Marine captain. However, it was good to return home and get back on the real job.

Perry Ragan, Jr., '3 2, is stationed at Ft. Monroe where he is training for entrance to West Point.

praise from non less than the team's manager, Joe Cronin.

During his career as a cadet Grif- fith captained both the basketball and baseball squads. His best work on the diamond at S. M. A. was as catcher, although he played third base and did some relief pitching. He has definitely gone in for pitching now, and had a good season this spring on the George Washington University team. He is a sophomore at G. W. U. where he is taking a course in Business Administration. He is going out for both basketball and baseball there this year.

Wesley K. Harris, '10, writes that he is not practicing medicine in Clar- endon, Virginia, as stated in the last issue of the Bulletin, but is practicing chiropractic.

Joseph Seyer, ex-'3 0, writes from 47 Post Ave., Hawthorne, N. J. that he is still interested in S. M. A. and wants some news of what is going on down here. Of himself he says that after he left school here he and his father or- ganized a Silk Dyeing and Finishing business which has been quite success- ful, although the present strike is slow- ing them down some. During the sum- mer he was married and is planning to make a trip to Staunton about Thanks- giving time to show the wife to us and us to her.

Paul R. Wing, '11, is connected with Paramount Productions, Inc., Hollywood, Calif. His two daughters, Toby and Pat, are in pictures, the lat- ter being under contract to Warner Brothers and the former with Para- mount. He also has a boy seven years old and says that when the lad comes to S. M. A. to school we will not need an introduction for he is an exact duplicate of him for looks when he was at S. M. A., but hopes that he is a better boy. o

C. R. Arenschield, '26, Has Private Shooting Range

If you have overcome your in- clination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice.

—Plautus.

Another Name is Added To Staunton's Honor Roll

It has just been learned that another name is added to the honor roll of Staunton Military Academy's war dead. John W. Crane, graduate of 1908, was killed October 31, 1918, near Thulin, Belgium, fighting single handed ten German planes.

This information was given by a Mr. Harold A. Gooch, of Hamilton, Canada, on a recent visit to the Acade- my. Mr. Gooch said that he had long had a desire to visit S. M. A. on ac- count of the fact that he had gone overseas with Crane who always spoke so highly of his training here.

Crane graduated from the Universi- ty of Toronto, and went to France with the 216 Battalion of Toronto, as a lieutenant. Later he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, in which organization he was when he was kill- ed.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 10.—Bang! Bang! Bang! Three more rabbits bit the dust! ... So might start a story written around the locale of the coun- try home of C. R. Arenschield, class of '26, located near the historic spot on the Delaware river where Wash- ington made his crossing..

For one of Arenschield's hobbies is pistol shooting.

After leaving S. M. A. seven years ago Arenschield spent a summer on a dude ranch in Wyoming. The fol- lowing fall he entered the University of Minnesota. Then followed several years in the automobile business in In- diana.

Arenschield is now advertising man- ager for the Jeddo Highland Coal Company, offices located in Philadel- phia. His home address: Lahaska, Bucks County, Pensylvania. o

David T. Carter, '31, worked on an Oregon ranch during the summer of 1932, fighting forest fires and pros- pecting for the "demon" gold. How- ever, the prospecting trip was not a success, as none was found. In May, 1933, "Dave" was on active duty at Fort Howard, Md., with the Civilian Conservation Corps, where he met two other officers who were S. M. A. men.

Dan Buckley, x-'16, graduated in pharmacy in 1924 and received a B. A. degree in 1928; attended the De- troit College of Medicine and Surgery 1931 but owing to the depression had to give up his studies for a while. He expects, however, to re-enter medical school and complete his course, hop- ing to become a "run-of-the-mine" family doctor, not a specialist. Dan has been married thirteen years and has five children, three boys and two girls. He and Mrs. Buckley are already plan- ning to send their boys to S. M. A.

Lyman O'Keefe, '23, and James O'Keefe, x-'30, of Jacksonville, Texas were visitors at the academy recently. They are engaged in the produce busi- ness in Jacksonville and stopped at S. M. A. on their way home from a de- lightful trip to A Century of Progress, New York City and other eastern points.

Mr. H. A. Raider, president of the Chinese Engineering and Development Co., recently visited his two sons at the academy. In course of a conver- sation with Major Wonson it develop- ed that he knew Tsu C. Kwan, '13, Renssalaer, '17, who is employed by one of the Chinese railroads and Jos. Felber, '23, (2nd Lt. Inf. U. S. A.), who had been stationed in Tientsin.

Jack D. Gunther, '2 5, is associated with Edward H. Childs of 1 Cedar St., New York City, in whose office he say's he is acquiring valuable experi- ence under pleasant surroundings. He passed the New York State Bar Ex- aminations last spring.

Richard W. Tullgren, '08, visited the school on Sunday, September 17, 1933. Tullgren is an architect in Mil- waukee, Wis. and was very much in- terested in going up to look at 3 07 where he once roomed while a cadet.

Joseph Gawler, '32, of Washington, D. C. was a visitor at the academy on Sunday, October 8th.

Theodore F. Bradley, x-'19, writes that his boy is now nearly ten years of age and that before many more years have passed, he hopes to send him to S. M. A. for his training.

Hess Crossland, '20, is a practicing attorney in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His firm is Pinkerton & Crossland.

J. E. Cantrill, '14, is secretary of the State Tax Commission of Kentucky and is located at Frankfort.

Julian Fiske, '14, lost his Annual when his home was burned some years ago and is looking for another copy. If any one has an extra copy of the 1914 Annual he might get in touch with him. His address is care Fine Products Corp., Augusta Georgia.

Jefferson Alison, Jr., '23, says he has a very likely prospect for S. M. A. in his son, Jefferson 3rd, who was one year old on September 2 5 th. His first contact with S. M. A. began when he was old enough to crawl on some hook- ed rugs made from Jeff's S. M. A.

Vincent A. Strout, x-'3 2, of Mil- ton, Mass., writes that he is a mem- ber of the freshman class at Middlesex Medical School in Waltham, Mass. and likes it immensely. He sees Leon- ard Taylor, Waldo Emerson and Rich- ard Coffin at various times throughout the year. o

Kagey Visits School A recent visitor to the "Hill" was

Mr. Lloyd Kagey, a graduate of the class of 1921. Mr. Kagey has been practicing law in Wichita, Kansas since 1927, and was on his way to a trial before the Supreme Court in Washington, when he decided to go out of his way to see the school again.'

He seemed impressed with, and re- marked upon the fine spirit of the present corps. He was a guest of the battalion at a midday meal.

Chris Sends Message to the Alumni

For years wc have taken personal in- terest in S. M, A. cadets and their parents and friends. We have always wanted our restaurant to be a home for every cadet when downtown; we have tried to supply and furnish the proper kind of food in the right way; two private dining rooms have always been at the disposal of the cadets.

All these years S. M. A. cadets have patronized us and we have deeply ap- preciated this business . . . but even more than the business we have felt good over the friendships made and now in this Alumni edition we want to renew that friendship with every cadet that has left the school.

Whenever you return to Staunton, come in and see us. If you go through on vacation or your fam" is this way . . . visit us, even if its just to say "Hello." Someway cr ot!.jr we feel like we're a part of S. M. A. and we take just as much pride in the ac- complishments of an S. M. A. alum- nus as the school does itself.

Good luck to everyone of you. 10-13-33-lt. CHRIS.

Coach Taylor Issues Call for Boxing Team

With four lettermen back, Captain "Joe" Taylor, builder of many South Atlantic championship boxing teams, has started pre-season practise in an effort to develop some first class ring artists to replace those lost by gradu- ation last May.

McGrael, 139-pound captain; Morse, South Atlantic welterweight; De- Liberty, light heavyweight, and Mohn, 15 5-pound slugger are the veterans on hand. Captain Taylor, in speaking of the outlook for this year, announced that he is "looking forward to another championship squad."

Those who have been punching daily in the boxing gym are: Day, Fajardo, Barry, Fluehr, Hubbs, Fendley, Stan- ford, Fisher, Bankendorf, Long, Mee, Kiefer, Fuerstein, Henderson, Krider, Wiley, Williams, Spanierman, and Bornstein.

MERCERSBURG GAME (Continued from Page One)

a pass Frost to Bayer. Mercersburg gained three more over left tackle, passed, J. White to Frost, to the nine- yard line, threw another short pass for two yards, and then sent J. White skirting around right end seven yards for a touchdown.

This same Mr. White, who was a thorn in the side of Staunton support- ers all afternoon, place-kicked the point after touchdown to complete the Mercersburg scoring for the day. The half ended on the first play after the ensuing kick-off.

Honors for the third quarter were evenly divided. Mercersburg threat- ened again when White returned a kick from his own twenty-five to Staunton's seventeen-yard line, Hitch- cock finally pulling him down from the rear. The Hilltoppers then re- covered a fumble, were held for downs, and kicked to safety. A Mercersburg drive was halted when Kraynick inter- cepted a pass. Hitchcock immediately swept right end for forty yards to Mercersburg's thirty-five yard mark- er, but lost the ball on downs. The remainder of the quarter was a punt- ing duel with neither kicker gaining an advantage.

Staunton's touchdown in the fourth quarter came as the result of a sus- tained drive from her own fifteen yard mark to the goal line, assisted by successful passing. Klepper's beau tiful run followed three successive first downs on line plays and passes to mid- field.

The Line-up: Staunton Mercersburg Bliss LE ...Smith (Capt). DeLiberty LT Geddes Partlan LG Small Painter C Snyder Shuker (Capt.) ...RG Southerland Howie R T Bradway Schuneman RE Sullivan Hitchcock QB Berrell Klepper L H Carpenter Flepner RH Frost Kraynick FB White

Substitutions: S. M. A. Bunsa, Bur- nett; Mercersburg; Bayer, R. White, Simpkins, Hutchinson, Martz, Nittoli, Irvin.

Officials: Referee Houtz (Penn. State), Umpire Euker (Gettysburg College), Headlinesman Scheffer (Mt. St. Mary's).

'Bill" Tilden to Play Tennis Here Next Week

"Big Bill" Tilden, champion of champions, and Vincent Richards, col- orful little star second only in fame to "Bill" himself, will meet in an exhibition match on the Staunton Military Academy courts on Wednes- day, October 18.

Full details of the match are now being worked out by Captain Howie, S. M. A.'s athletic director. The feature between Tilden and Richards will be preceded by a match between Bruce Barnes and either Emmett Pare or Teddy Rericha. The date for the exhibition and the players for the feature were confirmed telegraphically by Tilden's manager this morning, but details of the opening match are not yet available.

Sports enthusiasts of Staunton and Vicinity will remember the first ap- pearance of Tilden locally two years ago on "The Hill." At that time Richards was not a member of his party. The matching of the two stars should furnish some of the finest ten- nis that can be seen anywhere. o

FORT LEWIS (Continued from Page One)

tenant under a tyrannical Irish lord, he killed this lord and was forced to flee with his family to America. After living three years in Lancaster, Penn- sylvania, he moved once more, this time to be pioneer on America's fron- tier.

The hilly and rocky site was select- ed because of access to wood and wa- ter; the fertile plains of the Shenan- doah were then treeless, covered only by a tall buffalo grass. Here game was abundant; bear, wolves, panthers, wildcats, foxes, rabbits, deer, and tur- key were plentiful. Only a few Buf- falo were left, the main herds having fled to Kentucky and the prairies. There were, it is said, no crows, rats, honey bees, or song-birds then in the Valley.

Lewis's farm of two thousand acres was deeded to him by William Beverley in 1738; for six years he had been a squatter. He died in 1762 at the age of eighty-four. During his extremely adventurous career he lived under eight British sovereigns—Charles II, James II, William and Mary, Anne, George I, George II, and George III.

Staff and Jordan Reach Tennis Finals

The finals have been reached in the tennis tournament being conducted by Captain S. N. Hoshour, coach.

Staff, playing in good form, beat Fredey in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2, with- out once being in danger. Jordan, a new boy and the other finalist, ex- perienced difficulty in overcoming Mills, but finally emerged victorious by scores of 8-6, 2-6, 9-7. Staff and Jordan will play off the final match at some later date.

YEAR BOOK (Continued from Page One!

the cost of the book will be a one dollar charge per cadet for having his picture made. Those cadets who have sponsors may procure an extra copy for the sponsor at a cost of $5.00.

Lieutenant Cooksey states that re- sults of the 1933 National Interscho- lastic Press Association contest in which was entered the 193 3 SHRAPNEL

should be disclosed by the judges in Minneapolis within the month. Every effort will be made to maintain the usual high standard of excellence in the book.

Junior Team Begins Practices for Schedule

SATURDAY SCHOOL (Continued from Page One)

during the week are voluntary for those who wish to attend them, those on Saturday are both voluntary and compulsory. There will be three groups of students attending the Sat- urday classes during the year. The first group is composed of those fail- ing from lack of effort, the second group composed of those failing but through no lack of effort, and the third group, those who wish additional help whether they are failing or not.

For the first group, (those failing through lack of effort), there will be, as it were, a preparatory service on the Friday night before when they will have to attend study hall. They will be notified on Friday to report to study hall that night, and their names will be given to the commandant. They are assigned to the hall by their in- structors and for all or any part of the period, which runs from 7:10 to 9:30 p. m.

For the second group there will be

V. M. I. GAME

Two touchdowns by the air route and a third on a forty-yard end run accounted for a surprising twenty-to- nothing defeat of the V. M. I. Junior varsity by the inexperienced S. M. A. team in their initial game of the sea- son which was played at S. M. A.

Both clubs showed a sturdy defense, honors going to Howie, Shuker, and DeLiberty for Staunton, and to Banks and Leary for the visitors. Staunton had much the better of it in the aerial game, completing two touchdown- passes and several others for good gains. V. M. I.'s attempts at the same kind of attack were disastrous, Klepper intercepting two and Hitchcock one for a perfect score on the three efforts total. o

SWIMMING POOL HOURS (Continued from Page One)

there is no visiting team on the "Hill," the use of the pool from 2:00 p. m. to Retreat is extended to faculty and their families. When the presence of a visiting team prevents the use of the pool on Saturday afternoon, mem- bers of the faculty and their families are invited to use the pool from 7:15 to 9:3 0 Saturday nights.

On Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 6:3 0 the swimming pool is open to cadets. During this time two or more cadets who have passed their "Life Saving Tests" are in charge of the pool. Appointments to this ser- vice are made by the Commandant of Cadets.

CORSAGES and CUT FLOWER WORK OF EVERY DESCRIPTION

Flowers Telegraphed Anywhere

Staunton Military Academy's "Mid- gets" have once more begun practice under the coaching of Captain G. W. Walper, assisted by Cadets R. E. Rainey and G. A. Molnar. A stiff schedule is expected to be built up around V. S. D. B., A. M. A., and possibly the Charlottesville School for Boys.

The future varsity stars who have answered the call for practice, which is held every afternoon on Echols Field, are: Behn, Jones, H. E. Irish, March- ione, Meehan, Mooney, Fryer, Higgins, Robinson, Prehol, Ladner, R. A., Davis, Nathan, Aberferst, Armstrong, Conway, Dworetzky, and Mattes, (Captain).

All the above cadets are under 125 lbs. which is the weight limit for the conference that the Juniors play in. From all reports the "Midgets" will have a fast, clever team.

no Friday night study hall, but they may be required to attend the Satur- day classes. For the third group, their attendance at any of the extra classes is voluntary.

Study confinement will have preced- ence over conduct confinement, ac- cording to the order which put the extra class schedule in effect. Seniors are exempt from any compulsory at- tendance on these classes.

Mrs. Haun Begini Cadet Dancing Class

FRITZ KNOWS HIS RUCTIONS

Mother (telling story of Sleeping Beauty)- "So the maid did not dust, the coachman did not take out his carriage, the cook did not make the bread, everything was at a stand- still."

Fritz (aged four): "I know, Mummy, a general strike."—Kolner Lustige Zeitung.

Announcement has been made that the dancing class, which began last week, is open to any cadet at any time, provided he pays the fee for ten les- sons. If he did not enter the class the first day, he may do so at any regular meeting and continue until his time is up, under the above provision.

The classes are conducted by Mrs. Alger Haun who has been dancing in- structor at S. M. A. for many years, and who has had marked success in her work with the cadets.

The class is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:00 p. m.

designation to be made by withdrawals from a hat.

The Cotillion Club is to be selected by a committee appointed by Col. L. L. Sutherland, the purpose being to insure having men on the club who are not too busily engaged elsewhere and men who are best suited for the work. Election by cadets on the basis of popularity has in the past proven unsatisfactory. The personnel of the Cotillion has not yet been announced.

A special effort is being made to obtain excellent outside music for all of the formals by co-operation with the University of Virginia, W. & L., and V. M. I. on their dance dates. The school orchestra, which is progressing well, will be used for the informals.

The Final Ball, coming on Monday night of commencement week, will be a very elaborate military ball, and will honor not only the class .of 1934, but the class of 193 3 as well. A very spec- ial effort will be made to get all of the members of last year's class back for the festivities.
