It is a point of pride with the Corps that the class of athletes ordinarily known as Hringersn has no place on the teams, or, for that matter, in the Academy. The varsity football team for last season was as follows: Left End-THOMAS. ,I . Right End-RADFORD. Left Tackle-Sci-HLDER. Right Tackle-HELMS fCaplainJ. Left Guard-THOMAS, W. Right Guard-HAMILTON, F.

BASKETBALL It would be hard to find a more inspiring scene than that pre- sented on many a Friday evening during the basketball season in the Castle Heights gymnasium. It may be that the rafters are still draped in the Maroon and Gold that were placed there as decorations for the last dance, but the floor looks different as one takes his place in the circular gallery, perhaps near the Band, which is roaring out songs of victory or else the inspiring strains of the Alma Mater, while the building fairly shakes with the Academy yell as an accurately aimed shot goes to the right spot, and perhaps gives the Corps another hard-earned victory. The Academy quint for last season was: CCUfBf'ANDERSON, C. FOYWGYJSQHANCOCK, Lsscums, Monnis, W. fCaptainJ Guards--LILLY, PACE, F., Booman. BASEBALL It is in the Spring, however, that the baseball enthusiast comes in- to his own, when the big trees on the Hilltop begin to bud out, and a different sort of feeling breathes in the air. Gray flannel uniforms and maroon jerseys make their appearance along the avenue, and the crack of the horsehide against the willow or its soft thud as it shoots into the Pitcher's glove sounds on every side. Then, when the games come, no less than in football season do the cadets fill the bleachers, cheer-leaders out in front, and a host of well-wishers from Lebanon encouraging the team to win and yelling wildly for a three-base drive. 103 '- L

TRACK For the last five years at Castle Heights, as at most preparatory schools, there has been a growing interest in perhaps that finest form of outdoor sport-track. The Academy teams have been remarkably fortunate in this field of competition. Several Southern preparatory school records were broken by Heights cadets last year, and the team again came off victor in the great prep school meet held annually by the University of the South. ln all these forms of sport the Castle Heights cadet has the ad- vantage of superior and careful coaching. Captain Luna, the head coach and athletic director, has general supervision over all the athle- tics, being ably assisted last year by Major Gillespie in baseball, by Captain Cleveland in basketball, by Captains Cleveland and Ingram in football, and by-Captain Ingram in track. All these officers will again be members of the Academy's l922-23 faculty. PS' 105
