And if you have any suggestions about names for the bone-y creatire just give your idea a free airing around Rhodes. He's the originator of the present term of salutation, and will dare anyone to do a better job than he has done. What's the matter with you college girls? Where's your patriotic spirit which you flew so readily around the campus at the first of the year when so many of you decided to participate in every Intramural sport that occurred ln order to become physically fitted for any war work which might later demand it? Thus far the participation In girl's sports has been shamefully under par for a college of our size with as good equipment and Instruction a.s wo have. Do you member Leiutenant Hunter's remark that every WAAC must at all times remain physically fit and mentally alert? It is difficult to maintain a standard like that because one ls almost nec- rily present if the other ls there and to secure such a state of fitness demands a rigid attitude of willingness on the part of the participant. This Is as good Bleat state of endurance stamina, and .strength which will mean so much to the war effort. The ping-pong tournament has taken somewhat longer than was expected to materlal- tlS and develop Into a sure-nuft contest. As yet only one match has been run off; however, the others should and probably will be played at Fun Night each Wednesday night and perhaps some will be played off on the basement of the Student Union Building on Friday afternoons. Classes, keep on the look-out for an announcement of the time for your class team to play and then go to the scene of action and give your heartiest support to your classmates. They'll ap- re< iatc it and you will certainly witness some of the closest, finest playing that you'll ever have the privilege of seeing. I know. The new table foi ping pong playing which has been placed in the Club Room in the gymnasium ls one of the finest additions to the P. E. equipment. We wish It to remain so. Please, all take note of these few hints: Do not sit on the table—to do so will be a sin not easily forgiven, for lt ls this which so readllly damages the table and gives It that "sway-back" appearance; also .refrain from giving vent to you emotions by banging paddle, hand, or chair on the playing surface—for the same reason as above stated. It's your equipment. Treat It as such and everyone will get more and longer enjoyment from lt.

'irst. six weeks' training, he stated, have been spent primarily in preparatory workouts and cal- isthentics ln order that the boys might be ready for the physical strain demanded by the running of the courses. The first course is an M shaped figure of obstacles one hundred and sixty yards in length consisting chiefly of posts which the runner is to dodge while traveling at a rapid speed and bars to be vaulted while he is in full stride. The purpose of this is to ii' speed and agility of the individual. A second course designed primarily to test endurance of the boys has been laid around the entire Hunter football field. Among the gymnastics required in this course are: running, vaulting, balancing, crawling and hand-over-hand walking. This is a rather long course and ence C.

Upon completion of the course for the fall quarter late ln November another set of tests will be conducted for the purpose of securing a comparison between the first showing and the final examination which, lt is thought, will show considerable improvement in each individual. For the duration of the school year there will be held at the college a similar program ln which each member of the reserves is expected to participate. Coach McDonald, member of the physical education department, and head varsity coach, has been an instructor at W. C C. T. since 1939.

Science Club Takes A Hike Pre-Sei vice Team Whips Brevard The Pre-service football team brought fame to Western Carolina Teachers college by winning iiHial Homecoming game. This i.s the second consecutive .inning gams we have won, and the two have been the only victories for a number of years at this annual event. The 7-0 triumph over the Brevard Tornadoes was an exciting contest from beginning to end. The Catamount touchdwon came In the second parlod. The home team obtained the ball on the Brevard 45 and drove to the score, with Shuford and Le. picking up most of the yardage. Shuford went across for the tally and Leagan kicked the extra point. Brevard threatened In the final period, but a fumble on the iiount 2 checked the drive. One of the prettiest phi. | the game was made by Fred Gaylor, Cat center, who ii cepted a Brevard pass on his own 15 and raced 75 yards before being pulled down.The whls- tle ending the first half sounded before another play could be run. W. C. T. C. racked up 10 first downs to Brevard's eight, and gained 153 yards rushing to ird'S total of 90. Brevard completed six of ten aerials while the Cats made one hood out of three tries.
