Coach Banks received his first assign

college football team in his homo

history Ely went into the final game
with three wins and one defeat and
a chance to tie Virginia for the con-

were good at running on grease, and

Defense Bond Quiz

@. just what is initiation and
how can it be minimized?
A. Initiation is a decrease in the
buying power of the collar caused
by rising cost of living. This,
in turn, is brought about by a
heavy public demand, resulting
from a rapid increase in the ma
tional income, for things which
cannot be produced in large
enough quantities. Every citizen
can help minimize initiation by
buying Defense Bonds and Stamps.
Q. How can I get cash for my
Defense Savings Stamps if I
should need to redeem them?
A. Go to any post office.
Note = To buy Defense Bonds
and tSamps, go to the nearest post
office, bank or savings and loan
association; or write to the Trea-
surer of the United States, Wash
ington, D. c. Also Stamps now
are on sale at most retail stores.

Fall Season

The Omicorn chapter of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority planned an
interesting fall program to honor
the girls in the community who
planned to enter college this quar-
ter. A Sunday night supper using
a night in Italy as its theme, was
given at the home of Mrs. William
Hyatt. The idea was carried out
by giving each guest gay aprons
and bandanas. Colorful sign posts,
printed in Italian, directed the
guests upstairs, into the living and
dining rooms. Distinctive maps of
Italy identifying each guest were
presented as favors. Informal
talks, games and community sing
ing were later enjoyed over the
traditional Italian spaghetti.
Guests were Izetta Spearman, Al

Florence Bown, Juanita Valley,
