THREE NEW MEMBERS

Troop met at Cunningham School
last Friday at O'Clock. The minutes
of the last meeting We're read by the
secretary, and approved by the presi-
dent and scouts. The following boys
were present: Clyde Walker. Dan
Gaylord, Frank Braithwaite, Howard
Tips. Roger Smith, and Frank HOLE.
Communications were called for, and
the troop messenger had some inter
esting news to impart to the troop.
New members report was next on the
programme. and Ralph Hole, Billy
Morton, and Thomas Boyan handed in
applications for membership. Action
was taken at once, and the troop voted
all three boys in as members.
Under old business came our con-
templated trip to Camp Andrews Satur
day 1t was decided that Frank Hole
lead all the boys who could go Friday
evening, and Clyde Walker bring the
rest Saturday.
Under new business we decided to
have programmes demonstrating scout
tests, such as signaling and first aid.
AS there was no more business to
come before the meeting. we adjourned
at o'clock.-By Frank Hole, troop

CHAPTER v.

Events passed rapidly in the next few
weeks. Many details were worked out for
the coming trip and .T2' had wonder
full success with the demonstration,
clearing enough money to make it pos
sble to take the entire troop.
The last day of school finally came,
and with it came the two cars as prom
Used, and the scout from Chicago was
made to feel at home among his southern
comrades at once.
Saturday had been spent in whirl
of preparations, and so long before train
time Monday morning every scout was
at the station and ready to 60
There had ben much speculation as
to whether Mr.. Bandrews would make
the trip and so when his big car rolled
up in front of the station just before
train time, he found such reception as
only happy, lYenthusiastic group of
boys can give.
The party now complete, hasty fare
wells were said, and the happy party
crowded through the gates. across the
tracks and into the cars which were to
be home for the next few weeks. The Sc
lection of seats and slowing of baggage
had hardly gotten well under way when
the train moved slowly off, and the
scouts were off for the big adventure.
The route mapped out carried them first
to New Orleans, and even in the little
while they were able to spend there they
felt the special charm of the place as
they wandered down the byways of the
old French quarter laid out in the early
days of the eighteenth century by de
Bienville and his engineer, Leblanc de
n Tour And not only did the buildings

About three weeks ago, Troop "A start
ed the bali rolling by organizing a team
and issuing challeng to any scout team
in the state. Although taken up by
SoXthside team, and defeated somewhat
disastrously, this game little team is
still on the job.
Possibly the best known team in the
city is that which was organized under
the name of Southside Baptist church
team. Although this eleven is not entire
ly scout team, 1t is composed to
large extent of scouts or former scouts
of Troop 10, and has as it's coach, Rosser
Angel the present scoutmaster of Troop
10. This Southside team has so far de-
feated all Corners, and is now looking
around for more opponents to CONQUER.
1t was this same team which humoled
the heavy Troop 20 team.
Troop 20 of Ensley recently organized
a team, and has been looking for games
This team is fairly heavy, and is come
pcsed of several star players, who prom
Use to become real football players some
day. The only defeat which this team
has suffered has been at the hands OF
the fast Southsde Baptist church team
Troops sS and 80 of West End also
have good teams. These two teams were
scheduled for Il game yesterday, the re-
suit of which will be announced later
Both teams are fairly fast, and are very
evenly matched These two teams should
stage some close game in the next TWO
weeks The two troops are sister troops
and SO the two teams are sister teams
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-10-26

Troop Il, although It has no organized
scout team. has several players on the
Behren's park team, the aggregation
which trounced the Troop A eleven.
There are several good players in this
troop, of whom Cecil Harris, Nat Frasiei
and Bill Godfrey are well known to local
scouts. Cecil Harris recently broke his
arm in a game, and~will be out for the
rest of the season
other troops have considered or have
teams in the process of organization and
viii get into the running in the next
few days In another week the seou.
football season should be in its very
height, and then some good games Will
be staged.
The idea OF troop football teams is a
good one. It creates an atmosphere of
friendly rivalry between the troops and
competition is what keeps every big
movement going.
Any troop which organizes team is
sure to get games. for with so many
troop teams aching for battle, there is
always one to be found. OF course, a
scout team i snot forced TO limit its play
ing to games with other troop teams.
There are several first class teams in the
different sections of the city, such as
the Norwood, Magnolia Points, Ensley.
East Lake and other divisional teams.
Boy Scouts should take to the sport
greatly Football is manly sport and
the manly sports always appeal to a Boy
Scout

P0ED4RING FOR 4 PLUNGE
Troop 43 Scouts Are Shown
Some Real Hiking on Trip

Troop IS returned from another over
night hike Saturday night. October IS,
which was some humdinger. Talk about a
"bard-boiled, scoutmaster believe me,
brother, we have one. When he tells
-us to hike We have learned to Know what
the word means.
In spite of the threatening weather Fri
day, October 1t, we loaded our blankets
and chuck on our backs and started
cut about p, m. We didn't exactly know
where we were going, but we did know
we were on our way, and as we passed
through Boyles, Tarrant City, Dolcito,
Ketona and one or two other villages,
We We're not sure whether it was a hike
or an endurance test.
Mr.. Mckinney, who is to be our assist
ant scoutmaster, was along with us, and
we learned after. awhile that we were
to stop for the night at the home of a
Mr. Doss, relative of Mr. Mckinney S.
When we had begun to feel that there
was nothing else to do but stop. the
scoutmaster turned loose the long-lis-
tened-for word, Halt" Gee, what a
sigh of relief went up from u pikers,
Who had considered themselves mixers.
We were given a rousing reception by
the family of Mr.. DoSS, and after a
round of introductions we proceeded to
prepare supper. Our genial host had been
making sorghum, and had just drawn
the fe from under the syrup pan, so
we had Il dandy ire of hot Goals ready
to cook our supper over After eating
what we thought was about half enough,
hut which our scoutmaster insisted was
a big plenty. we sat around the IRE for
more than two hours and staged reg

gang was divided into two squads and

tors after two hours of fast and furious
fun.
We We're pretty we'll worn out by this
time, and when the scoutmaster sug-
gested the nay1ort he was greeted with
vociferous applause tas the Congressional
Record SAYS. Into the hayloft we piled,
and boy, "let me tell you, feather beds
amt in it. 1t certainly looked like a
bunch as tired as we were would soon be
asleep, but shucksl the fun had only
commenced. Every trick that a boy could
think of pulling orr in a hayloft was
pulled until Hard Boiled Williams
called halt with the warning that we
would be sorry the next day if We didn
get all the rest tnal we could that night.
And to our sorrow, we found out what
he meant before nightfall the next day.
OF course, being out in the coun-
try. We had to rise early the next morn
ing but we didn't get our breakfast
until nearly 8 o'clock, for the simple
reason that our scoutmaster Wouldn t let
us have it. We did our best to forget
that we were hungry by helping around
the sorghum mill, but that only made US
hungrier. After breakfast we started
out on what proved to be the longest and
hardest hike that We had ever attempted.
All other hikes we had taken were ike
pink tea parties compared to this one,
but we had the time of our young lives.
The scoutmaster announced that we had
covered 25 miles upon our return to the
home of MIR, Doss We visited the famous
rock house about three miles beyond ke-
tona, and believe me, that's some rock.
We expect to go back some time in the
near future and carry our kodaks to
bring back the evidence
We gathered about bushel of scaly-
bark hickory nuts on this trip, and we
are anxious to go back for some more.

on our cabin was postponed but will
come off soon, as we are anxious to
finish the job we started.
Two new members We're voted upon.
When the other candidate is voted
upon, the troop is closed to new mem
