GRADUAT|ONS
WILL EFFECT
HEAVY TOLL
BY GARRETT WATERS

The year 1882 will be another
perplexing one for Coach Dan
Ahearn at Western High School
as far as football is concerned. ).
That is, the start Of it will be,
If the absence of eleven gradu-
ated players will mean any handl-
cap.
western and Ahern will be
without eleven capable members
when football begins again next
year. The big list includes Jim
Draper, high-powered quarter
back; Bill Payne, capable end;
Ed Teehan, lanky halfback:
Everett Buscher, end; Greve, end
and guard; Francis, guard: Rey-
noldS, halfback; Dove, end; Ire
land. tackle; Classic, guard, and
Keith, end.
Eleven to Return
This leaves the following col
lection of men who will return:
Lawrence BuScher, tackle; Nye,
guard; Wynne, center; Gamage,
guard; Jockie Lynham, all-high
halfback, Hilleary, quarterback,
and Eckloff, De Stephen, Bloyer,
Burdette, and Warfield, lesser
lights.
Facing a perplexing situation
at the opening of each football
year is nothing new for Ahearn
at Western. He has had it the
case for the last four seasons now
and it is becoming quite the usual
thing.
He will be fortunate in one re-
spect in 1882, however. He will
have the presence of Jackie Lyn-
ham, who was truly a sensation
during the recent campaign, while
Leo Hilleary also will be available
to give the backfield department
a fairly strong neucleus as a
starter.
Then the presence Of Nye,
Wynne, Lawrence Buscher and
Gamage-all experienced men
will not hurt great deal.
Court Situation Uncertain
One of those uncertain situa-
tions rules in basketball at West
ern, by the way. Coach Moore
has only Everett Buscher and
Tony Latona as men from last
years regular team. Five others
who were second Stringers in 1880
are on hand. They include Trun-
die and Mccarthy, forwards, and
Swanson, Pond and Molyneaux,
guards.
Coach Moore's problem this
year will be the develping Of a
center. He is hoping that Bill
Payne will be his man. Payne
will get the call if he keeps
eligible. His status at the pres
ent moment is uncertain, how.
ever.
This Western courtmen open
their season on December 9
against the Wilson Teachers.
Games with Washington and
Lee High and Alexandria High
are also on schedule for that
week. Thirty contests are on the
teams list altogether.

Interest Runs High
In Canadian HOckey

Interest in the ensuing hockey
season has reached a high pitch
here. Despite the worldwide
depression many of the ardent
followers Of the ice sport have
crowded the ticket offices Of the
Canadiens in the hope Of garner
ing season ducats which proved
to be so precious last season.
The French are the most faith
full Of hockey fans. They take
the game seriously.

WESTERN TOPS
HIGH R|FL|STS

Firing a score of 928 out Of a
possible 1000 in the third match,
first series, of junior bi-weekly
rifle matches conducted by the
National Rifle Association, the
Western High School rifle team
has taken comfortable lead of
% points over it's nearest rival,
Knoxville, Tenn, High School, in
the prone-standing division. Knox
ville's score in the third match
was 900.
Western High and Fresno,
Calf, High failed to break their
tie for first place in the first
division of the prone shooting
class, each scoring 1876 out of a
possible 500. Each of the two
teams now has a total of 900
points. The fight between the
two widely separated schools is
the keenest that has ever de.
veloped in the junior matches,
according to H. H. Goebel, man
ager of the N. r. A. Junior
division. Two more matches re.
main to be fired in the first
series.
In the first division, prone
class, Western High girls placed
fifth with a score Of 486 and
Central High boys placed sixth
with 485. Considering ties, Nc
Kinley High placed fifth in the
second division, prone class, with
482. Central High girls placed
eighth, with S22x1, 900, in the
prone-Standing class.

Thus at this time each year Tor
many years have the residents OF
southwestern Virginia spoken.
Each succeeding year the state
ment becomes more sincere, more
vociferous. This year it's real in
SiStent.
Down Roanoke way they appre-
ciate an ancient football rivalry.
The annuaI-ThankSgiving Day
Virginia Military Institute-Virgin
Polytech game each succeeding
year becomes more colorful, 1t
such a thing is possible: more at
tractive socially. as a spectacle
and as a game Of football.
Hospitality Is Rampant
There is something about that
great battle which gets under
ones skin. From all over the
State Of Virginia, and from other
States, too, come partisans Of the
two schools. Hospitality is ram
pant. The city Of Roanoke out
does itself to make things pleas
ant, to give the visitor within its
gates an intimation Of just how
fine and gracious the folks Of
Roanoke really are.
Some historian once said that
the people Of two sections Of this
country given the same govern
ment so impressed their own
idioSyncraSies upon that govern
n.ent as to make it unrecog-
IiZable as the same government
at the end of single generation.
Well, its that way with the
game of football, and South
western Virginia has so impressed
the idioSyncrasies Of its people
on the v. M. Nv. P. I. game
that it stands out pre-eminently
as an attractive, colorful and
vivid spectacle. It is different.
Somehow or other the people
Of that section have contrived to
give to the friendly gatherings
and social events connected with
the convention Of these two
friendly rivals a charm and
naturalness only to be found
down Roanoke way.
Tradition Rules
The v. M. Nv. P. I. game is
not without its pomp and cere-
Inony, its tradition and its
Splendor. The measured tread Of
the cadets, the blare of trumpets,
the beauty and rythm of military
n1aneuvers executed by the corps,
are impressive and constitute a
pageant not soon forgotten.
This years spectacle bids fair
to outStrip its predecessors. In.
terest is at a higher pitch than
usual, probably due to the fact
that no Verson can be cetrain
The Washington times., 1931-11-24

whether v. M. I. or V. P. I.
should be accorded an edge in the
football game. Then, too, 50
many social events will mark the
occasion that the friendly rivalry
of the football teams and the two
institutes threaten to spread to
the fair sex who will vie with one
another to make more brilliant
an already distinctive and attrac-
tive event.
Bob williams, beloved of Vir-
ginians, sends word that every
thing is in readiness, that the
stage is set, that Roanoke is in
holiday attire, that hospitality as
usual, will reign supreme at the
v. M. Nv. P. I. game.
Such assurances from Bob, who
knows his Roanoke as no other
man, probably means that there'll
be a grand time in the old town
of Roanoke Thanksgiving night.
The Washington times., 1931-11-24
Throaty Thanksgiving

Not forgetting either, the sing
ing, which, while never exactly
harmonious, was voluminous to
a fault. Sort of throaty thanks
giving for the fulsome plates,
as it were, nor was the quality
of the strains the measure for
the joy which reigned supreme.
We can hear now that kindly
Southern son, Norman Baxter,
leading the choristers in THAT
Little Red Shawl That Kitty
Wore" and Irving Belt carry
ing the merrymakers through
the intricate verses of "Abdulla
Bulbul Ameer." The forests and
glens and hillsides of old Mary
land have rung in the past to
such anthems and Kipling'S bar
rack room songsters would have
cupped hand to ear to take
lesson in group singing when
those numbers rent the glade.
And so we deplore and in the
same breath, pine, that Mary
land suspended its festive
gesture to newspaperdom this
resplendent autumn of 1881,
which shall go sans ham, sans
fowl, sans song. We wonder if
perchance some have been a
little harsh with the good Free
Staters in bemoaning their
evasiveness to a local unemploy.
ment game and thus deserved
the penalty that seems to more
than fit the crime.
Maryland, My Maryland, has
it come to this?

ter the game with Washington and

Fear Stanley
Lost for Last
@. u. Game

Georgetown University's kick
ing strength in Saturdays game
witt Detroit University at the
Clark Griffith Stadium will be
weakened if Mack Stanley, star
punter, is unable to play. 1T is
feared that Stanley suffered a
brc'-en ankle in the Villanova
game. The Detroit contest closes
the 1881 campaign for George
town.
Not only will Georgetown's
kicking department be affected
but it's running attack will also
suffer. Stanley, in the last few
games, had shown himself an
integral spoke of the Georgetown
attack.
Luck Trails Stanley
Ill luck has trailed Stanley this
season. He injured his shoulder
in the preseason training and
did not see regular action until
the Bucknell game on No
Vember Z.
His loss, however, will be great
est in blocking. Stanley was a
servicebale escort whenever his
mates where Juggling the oval.
Expert rOp-KickerS
Fans at the game, which prom
iseS to be on the best of the
1881 season, are to see two ex-
pert drop-kickerS in Rocky
Parsaca, of the Titans, and
Johnny Shimmins, of the Hill
toppers.
The Hilltoppers will go through
a heavy scrimmage at the Sta
dium this afternoon at 3:45 o'clock
following a workout by the North
L kota team.

DUNBAR downs
OLD GRID FOE

A rally started at the end Of
the third quarter brought the
touchdown which made Dunbar
High gridders the District and
South Atlantic colored high
school champions yesterday, as
they nosed out Armstrong, 10.
Both teams had been undefeated.
After both teams had battled
three quarters on almost even
terms, the Armstrong line weak
ened, and the Dunbar backs
ripped off gain after gain and
when the quarter ended had the
ball on the four-yard line.
Minns went over for the tally
shortly after the final period got
underway. Matthews passed to
Minns for the extra point.
