During the last two years we have watched his continuous effort and progress 'toward promoting a widely varied program ol' sports on campus. His interest in young people has heen shown through his well- planned physical education programs. Miss Nlargaret Dixon has helped him in carrying out this progranl by assisting with the women's gym classes. He has created special interest in an intra- mural schedule of basketball, skating, tumbling and archery, besides an almost normal intercollegiate schedule of basketball and baseball. Coach Smith is a graduate of Nlanchester College, a licensed minister in the Church of the Brethren and prior to his work here was very active in Indiana schools and among other young people's groups.

C. team for many years, winning nine games and losing seven. Starting with two lettermen, Rieley and Houff, Coach Smith developed a team with inexperienced men and cle- vised a type of game to suit his team. During the year, Richards developed into an outstanding player closely' followed by VValston, Rudy, Sanger, Bixler, and Nliller. These were the chief men in the team as the season progressed. The Fagles opened the season by defeating Gallaudet for the hrst B. C. win in two years. The following night the Eagles were hosts to Randolph-lVIacong showing good form, B. C. defeated them 50-31. ln the last game before the holidays, the Eagles journeyed to L5-'nehburg and overwhelmed them by the record score of 93-33. The varsity played only half of this game, in this time Houff and Richards garnering 61 of our 93 oints. 'A . . . . ' 1' l P I 1. .'

The Tiagles, battling a taller lVashington College team all the way, lost S6-63. ln this game Houff turned in one of his best games of the season, scoring 33 points. Earlier in the season the Eagles defeated Galluadet the second time, there, by a score of 53-38 as the Bisons battled on even terms for three quarters only to collapse in the linal minutes. Also, Lynchburg was trimmed here by a score A. C. HANK LA Manager of 65-41 with Houff and Richards taking the background.

The season opened with Elizabethtown on our College home floor. With greater height and agility, our girls won an exciting game by a score of 23 to 20.

The wider experience and sharp-shooting ability of the Msldison girls proved too much for the local lassics as we lost I9 to 34. l ' The next week found the girls as guests of Madison, to experience about I . . . the same circumstances as the previous week. However, our girls showed some . i . . . improvement. 'I his time we were on the short end of the score of Z1 to 49. The same week the girls enjoyed a long trip to Elizabethtown. VVith many urravoidable handicaps, the girls lost I7 to 21. Time seemed to run out on the team as they were steadily overcoming all their dilliculties and handicaps. ' The last game of the season was perhaps the high light of the season even though the girls lost a valiant hght by a score of 15 to 21. The Farmville hos- ptfality will long he remembered in the hearts of the girls that made the trip. Outstanding in their playing ability were Gene Bowman, an accurate long shot, .lean Dtltliy, a sure shot under the basket, Connie Dewese, a lanky guard, and Eleanor Hoover, a versatile player either at forward or guard. N . J . if MNRGARET DIXON Manager S .ervefzty-.raven BASKETBALL STARS Bob Houlf leaves behind him one of the most brilliant basketball careers that any player could hope to make at any college. Bob was iirst in the state of Virginia in total points scored for the season even though he played fewer games than the several men behind him. His record is 341 points in 16 games, an average of 21.3 points per game. Bob is ranked among the top scorers of the nation by the Associated Press. In their final poll he ranked 17th for total points scored and Sth in average points per game. Had he been allowed to play full games in two instances, he probably would have broken some individual scoring records for indivi- dual games. Twice he scored a total of 33 points in separate BOB HOUFF games. Bob's excellent ball handling, over-head shot from the corners, and a one-hand pivot faway from the basket at one side ofthe free-throw circlej were his favorite spots. Bob was a good team man, keeping every man on the floor working hard while he himself was giving his all, The loss of Bob will be very definitely felt next year and almost im- possible to fill, at the present, at least. Perhaps one of the most promising athletes to ever attend Bridgewater is Bob Richards, a sophomore this year. Coming, with no experience in basketball, the middle of last season, he displayed a strong determination to contribute his Part to a good basketball team. His unlimited energy and great speed in ball- handling made him ai great asset to the team. Along with this he devoloped an accurate one-hand shot that placed him Sth in the Old Dominion in scoring. His average per game was 15.9 points. Bob will make a line nucleus around which to build a team next year. BOB RICHARDS Sevelzfy-sigh! I l F Bob Richards, our tracl: star, was the oulv aspirant in l is held this season. He was entered in the Pennsvlvania i L TRACK , l 1 , glays in Pliiladelpllia and also in the Nlason-Dixon Con- , BOB I!ICHAllIjS renee in Washington. Bob brought with him to B. C. a great deal of track ex erience. Lust s rin he worked hard and lon to im rove P P S 8 P 4 pole vaultmg. He was rewarded by winning 3rd place in the Pennsylvania Relays, vaulting IZ feet and inches. h e following week, after winning lst place-in the 220 yard low hurdles and 2nd in the 120 yard high hurdles, Bob set new record for the lVl1lSCll1-lJlX0l1 Conference when he vaulted ll feet and 7 inches. P u- r , ,. . Y. ' 1 ff His pole vaulting record this spring in the Pennsylvania Relays was 13 feet-a new record for the college. He also raised the Mason-Dixon Con- ference record ll inches, by vaulting 12 feet 6 inches in that meet on May' 5. I .1 These records are new ones for any Bridgewater track and Held star, and Bob shows promise of still better ones in the future, A T S czfelzty-Mille l Sf-nlnf: Tutcr, Hoover, Sntvr, llllHil'I'lkll'l, Ednxonson, Gilkerson, Rudy, Greene Snnnling: Smith, C.

Robertson, returning for baseball this season, prospects are not too bright with the limited material available. Robertson's ankle, broken early in the season, is n definite blow to our hopes. Virgil Huffninn, 11 returned service man, will carry the greater part of the pitching responsibilities, with Byrd Teter and Lester Rudy doing relief hurling.
