Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1946 volume:

M r i. 40U CUPtct HZUci 0 1946  chambers For These Things m W ' . Davidson College, 1946, may have seemed strange to some of us for this has not been a typical Davidson year. It has not been typical, but it has been a period of great and lasting importance in the life of the college, and will remain of eternal importance in our lives, because although circumstances have some- what altered the routine of college life for some of the Class of ' 46, the same things — the classes, the friendships, the social events, the bull sessions, the ath- letic contests — all have followed the normal pattern and have been cherished by all of us as things that should be permanently recorded as a chapter in our lives that will forever become more fresh and poignant in our thoughts as the years go by. To trace the life of the Senior of ' 46 from his entrance, bewildered and frightened and wondering what college held in store, to his graduation would be a difficult task, for these years were interrupted by the tragic events of war. One thing has impressed us, however, during this, our Senior year, and that is the indestructible nature of the spirit that is a part of Davidson. That in- describable, intangible, and eternal — Davidson Spirit is still alive despite the cat- astrophic events of war. And it is with this thought in mind that we present Life at Davidson in these pages. Will Remember Davidson HIS college possesses a heritage of which we can justly be proud. Through the years it has meant more to students than mere knowledge acquired in the classroom, or learning em- bodied in the pages of books. The associations that we have en- joyed with fellow students, with cultured professors, all form a part of the atmosphere and spirit that is Davidson and is rather hard to define. It is for these things that we love David- son, and it is these things that have survived years which have been frought with tragedy, by the horrors of war. This year has witnessed Davidson ' s return to normal college life — to a student body of greater size, to the reactivation of the organizations which contribute much to the richness of life at Davidson. The editors of this, the first post-war QUIPS AND CRANKS, hope that this volume has been useful in help- ing this to come about. A more ideal Davidson is our goal as it should be the goal of every member of the Student Body. During the first semester our student body was small, the college not having yet recovered from the blow dealt her by the war. February witnessed the return of many old Davidson men from overseas. Old friends were welcomed and new friendships were made, and college life began o: more normal pattern. We enjoyed witnessing and playing with the Wildcats iii athletic contests, and thrilled to the old spirit of Fight Idson, Fight . We danced at the Pan-Hel sets, we studied, ed, planned for the future. The presence of a student body older in years and in ex- perience, and for the first time the arrival of many married students with their wives reminded us that these were not normal times, but aside from these things college life was normal and Davidson was the same and filled with memories that we will always cherish. As the members of ' 46 leave college and enter their differ- ent pursuits, and the college of Davidson continues to produce those students who will contribute toward the building of an ideal Davidson, may this graduating class of ' 46 and succeed- ing classes not forget the absence of many of their classmates, men who should have stepped with them from the platform in cap and gown, and as we strive to build an ideal Davidson, may we also seek to find the secrets to the making of an ideal world. — To Professor [dward Jones [rwin To a worthy teacher, a genuine and un- derstanding friend, a man of indomitable courage and strength of character, loved and respected by students and faculty, we sincere- ly and with great pleasure dedicate this 1946 Quips and Cranks Teacher, Counselo Igipwl - 0r V P ' Jl ■ fj - On The I CAMPUS CHAMBEP.S g Duke Dormitory . . .

Fourteen members comprise this group which includes the President, the first and second Vice-Presidents, and the Secretary- Treasurer of the Student Body, the Presidents of the three upper classes, and seven additional councilmen. four elected by the Senior class, two by the Junior class, and one by the Sopho- more class. The student body officers arc elected by the entire student body from candidates nominated by an elections board plus additional nominations made at a formal meeting of the students. The President of the student body is chosen from the rising Senior class. Vice-Presidents from the rising Junior class, and Secretary-Treasurer from the rising Sophomores. All student body and class elections are conducted by secret ballot and are controlled by an elections board. The entire student body is bound by the Honor System which has become an integral part of the Davidson campus life. All violations of the Honor System are tried by the Student Council. The Court of Control is under the direct supervision of the Student Council, and if the actions of any Freshman are deemed to justify dismissal or suspension from school the case is referred by the Court to the Student Council. In addition to the enforcement of the Honor System, the Council is the ruling body in all matters of student government. Amendments to the Constitution are first passed by the Student Council and then presented to the Student Body for adoption. This year a valuable amendment calling for the selection of a student sports publicity director was passed. Besides its specific duties, the greatest function is rather indefinable: the maintenance and furtherance of the spirit which builds an ideal Davidson.

O O- Christian Association The Young Men ' s Christian Association offers opportunities for students to serve in countless activities which materially aid in the spiritual well being of the college campus and community. Headed by a Y Secretary, a student President, a cabinet composed of thirteen de- partments, and a board of control, its ser- vices are innumerable. Vesper services, depu- tations, devotional meetings, Sunday School classes, boys ' work and various other social services are all a part of the Y. M. C. A. program. The Y Secretary, the President and student members elected by the student body with certain faculty members compose the Y Board of Control, the governing body concerning the policies of the organization and the financial budget. Newton Spencer, graduate secretary, and Bill McLean. Student President, offered val- uable and capable leadership in directing the work of the Y this year. The Y Presi- dent is elected by the Student Body, and the office is one of major importance on the cam- pus. The heads of the cabinet departments are especially chosen because of talents, in- terest, and experience in certain fields. Perhaps the greatest reason for the in- fluence of the Y in student affairs is its all inclusive nature: every Davidson student is automatically a member of the Y. M. C. A. Through the years the Y has been the students ' closest contact for active Christian service and its influence in maintaining the religious traditions of the college has been of inestimable value. It is helpful to students also because of the opportunities it offers for valuable experience in leadership and social service. First RoiC: Smith, Alexander. McLean. McGchcc. Spencer.

Dave Neill Sophomore Alembers Bob Strickland, thacker Thrower The Court of Control was established t o maintain Freshman discipline. It is composed of eight members appointed by the Student Body President after consultation with the Senior members of the Student Council- In addition to a judge and a recorder the Court contains two representatives from the three upper classes. The Constitution empowers the Court of Control to hear, investigate, and deal with charges of the upperclassmen against Freshmen of improper conduct, violating Freshmen Regu- lations or breaking college traditions. The Court has the power to confine to the campus any Freshman found guilty of an offense not serious enough to warrant his suspension from college. Any matters of conduct that, in the opinion of the Court, are serious enough to justify suspension or dismissal from college are referred to the Student Council for action. The Court of Control does not function simply as a court of punishment, but serves a valuable purpose as an advisory board to help Freshmen in becoming adapted to their new college environment. This year all returned war veterans who have entered Davidson as Fresh- men were exempted from all student Freshmen Regulations. Strickland. Throv Brooks. McAlister, Neill. Wyatt.

In this, the first post war annual, we have refrained from indulging in themes of war and pa- triotism. We are satiated with this kind of thing, and a return to normal college life is cherished by all: however, the absence of many classmates has moved us to insert a serious note, an expression of our reverence for the mem- ory of them and their sacrifice and a caution to all lest in our rush to the return to normalcy we lapse into the state of apathy and selfishness that can so easily make their efforts vain. Quips and Cranks has traditionally sketched the life of the Davidson Senior from his timid entrance upon the college scene to his emergence with cap and gown into the world of still greater endeavors. With the class of ' 46 the years between Freshman obscurity to Senior grandeur have in many cases been interrupted by war and by far away and varied experiences. In spite of these things, wc find that life at Davidson, although affected, has changed little in the things that mean more to us than the size of the student body or other out- ward signs. No matter how catastrophic any external event may be there is one Force that cannot die — the intangible, eternal Wildcat Spirit. It has been active for over a hundred years, and will continue to be so. we trust, forever. It is the prevailing spirit of the Davidson Campus.

Each year several plays arc presented by this society and arc attended and enjoyed by members of the student body and the community. This year, under the direction of Middleton Raynai. the Red and Black Masquers presented the play, The Milky Way . The success of the play is due largely to the efforts of Prof. Hrwin. who aids the club in the direction of their activities and the preparation of stage settings. The Forensic Counci The Forensic Council is the governing body for all Davidson College debating teams. The group has control of the financial budget and the planning of debating sched- ules. Normally consisting of six men from the upper classes, the Forensic Council, in addi- tion to the above duties, selects and super- vises the Freshman Debating Team and acts as host for visiting debaters from other col- leges. All the actions of the Forensic Council arc in conjunction with a faculty committee headed this year by Dr. Frontis Johnston. Because of a small Student Body consist- ing largely of Freshmen, the members of all four classes were eligible this year for the de- bating teams. The question for collegiate debating this year was: Resolved that the United States should pursue a foreign policy toward establishing free trade among na- tions. After delivering five minute trial speeches, Leighton McKeithan of the Sophomore Class and Freshmen Charles Elyea and Don Coffey were chosen by the faculty committee to re- present Davidson in intercollegiate debating this year. Leighton McKeithan served as president of the Forensic Council for the season. The group was broken into two teams: Elyea and Coffey taking the negative side of the question and Elyea and McKeithan de- fending the affirmative. McKhithan Eumanean Literary Society 1946 W.

TTie fraternity was founded at the University of Wisconsin in 1904. and the Davidson Chapter, known as Company B , was organized in 1923. Two tap days are held annually, one in the fall for Senior Officers , and one in the spring for rising Senior Officers. This year the situation is a little different because many of the advanced students in R. O. T. C. arc underclassmen. Company B was. of course, inactive during the war years; this fraternity was reorganized on the Davidson campus in May of this year, and was the third chapter of this national society to be re-activated.

The purpose of this fra- ternity is to advance the cause of music in America, to foster the mutual welfare and brotherhood of students of music, to develop the truest fraternal spirit among its members, and to encourage loyalty to the Alma Mater. There arc four classes of membership: active, alumni, chapter honorary, and national hon- orary. Active membership may be conferred upon anv man who shall show love for music cither by adopting music as his profession or by working to advance the cause of music in America. In the late spring this fraternity sponsored a reception at the Y. M. C. A. for all persons interested in music. A contribution of lasting value has been the Carnegie Record Set which has been made available to Dvividson students through the efforts of Phi Mu Alpha. Preeman Hitchcock Lineberger McKeithan Whitelev Williamson Winstead Wyatt Phi Mu Hlpha Symphonic Band PROF. JAMES Christian Pfohl Diri ' ctur of Music The Davidson College Symphonic Orchestra consisted this year of a group of thirty-four musicians under the direction of Professor James Christian Pfohl. Most of the members of the organization were with the group throughout the year while several men were returned veterans, joining the band at the beginning of the second semester. Sam Lineberger served as president of the Symphonic Or- chestra: other officers were: J. C. Herion, Howard Brenner, Frank Barr. Jr., and Spencer Murray. In addition to concerts given on the campus, concerts were given in Salisbury, Charlotte, Greensboro and other neighbor- ing cities. Programs by the band were broadcast over Station WBT in Charlotte. Concerts were given at three colleges in this vicinity: Con- verse, Queens, and the Woman ' s College of the University of North Carolina. The program at Converse College climaxed the Converse Spring Music Festival. The appearance of the Davidson College Symphonic Band was the first appearance of any band at Converse College. On April 1 1 and 1 2 the band toured western North Caro- lina. Programs were given in the Marion High School, Hender- sonville High School, and Brevard High School Auditoriums. The program in Salisbury, N. C. was given for the benefit of musicians attending the all-state Band Clinic. This audience consisted of some of the best high school musicians in the state. Each Tuesday night at 10 o ' clock, the Davidson College Band presented a fifteen minute program entitled. Davidson College on the Air . Script for the program was written by Sam Spencer.

A group composed of thirty-five selected mem- bers has through its many activities rendered a great contribu- tion to campus life and to the community. During the first semester the club was under the able direction of Mr. James Christian Pfohl. due to the absence of Earl Berg who was studying sacred music in New York. Mr. Berg took his position as director of the organization at the beginning of the second semester. This year Lee Willingham served as president of the Glee Club, while Vernon McGehee and Tommy Clark held the positions of Vice-President and Secretary. The activities of the organization have been varied and in- teresting. Highlighting the musical events of the year was the presentation of Handel ' s Messiah both in Charlotte at the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church and in Davidson. Shortly after this performance an active part was taken in the College Christmas Vesper Service. In addition the Glee Club gave two concerts in Thomasville, N. C. one at Sullins College. Bristol. Virginia, several at Queens College, and one at the First Methodist Church in Charlotte. The Glee Club also played a prominent part in the college radio programs on station WBT, and furnished the choir for the weekly Sunday night vesper services.

Norman Shcpard. College Athletic Di- rector and head football coach for this sea- son ' s Wildcats, plunged a small, but spirited crew of gridiron warriors into rigorous prac- tice on the opening day of school. A word of praise is due to Coach Shepard. who, in the face of the handicap of a reduced student body and coaching staff, continued to pro- duce the same pluck, if not the power, and helped the Wildcats to keep their name and their fight. With a small student body composed largely of Freshmen. Coach Shcpard had the choice of a light team challenging high school and prep schools or the suspension of football until the return of a student body of normal size and the resumption of collegiate class football. Art Roach and Jim Sample, both pre-war Wildcats and excel- lent backs, aided Sheppard in his coaching duties. The Wildcats opened the season by play- ing host to Appalachian, a game which was fought hard through four hectic quarters ending with a score of 7-7. Captain Bill B(;B Si kl ' Kl.ANl) AND WAKD l.ASIJ-V Co-Caplains ineteen Forty-five McLean was lost to Davidson in this game because of a shoulder injury and remained out during the rest of the season. Darlington was next conquered in a 7-0 victory. The Wildcats were threatened again and again by some excellent passing but managed to hold the op- ponents to no score. The next week the student body witnessed the defeat of their heroes to the tunc of 6-0 at the hands of Harding High. Barium Springs next paid a visit to Richardson Stadium and were inhospitably dished out an 18-0 defeat by the Davidsonians. Thus ending the home slate the Davidson eleven traveled to Gainesville. Ga. and tackled the men of Riverside in a 35-0 victory, perhaps the best playing demonstrated by the Wildcats during the season. On a rain soaked field our backs and linemen performed excellently and Herb Waldrop missed not a single conversion. A trip to Woodbury Forest ended the season and the tables were turned this time with Davidson taking an 18-0 loss. Several of the play- ers were unable to make the game because of colds and i nfluenza and the cold winds of the Virginia field didn ' t help matters. Although with a wartime student body. Davidson did not take on college elevens, some brilliant playing and real talent were evidenced. As outstanding linemen the performance of Bob Millar. Bob Strickland. Joe Leonard and Bill Iverson deserves mention, while backs like Sherrill with his drive. Lasley with his speed and Neill with accurate passing cannot be overlooked. Other backs such as Scott. Edwards, and Waldrop, with his educated kicking toe which accounted for many extra points during the season, deserve mention. S.MOAK. GAMBRELL. AND KEITH Football Managers First Row: Iverson.

Harding 6 — Davidsoi -©- __ October 20 a favored Davidson eleven tasted STRICKLAND, MILLAR. IVERSON defeat at the hands of a powerful Harding High team. The injury jinx was again present to plague the Wildcats, but they demonstrated plenty of fire and spirit and knew they were set for no pushover . The Harding Rams drove relentlessly at their Davidson opponents and the result was a victory for the Charlotte lads. Key Davidson line men were knocked out of their spots on the lineup by a series of injuries suffered during the course of the game. Herb Waldrop received a slight chest bruise and was forced to leave the game for a short while. Louie Hart filling his position until he too was forced ofl the field with an injured leg. Wald- rop finally returned to the firing line, after Carlyle Charles had served as the third com- batant in this treacherous spot. Another addition to the list of injured was Doc Bailey, upon whom the Harding Rams inflicted a foot injury, taking another from the Wildcat ' s guard spot. Orchids go to John Sherrill for an outstand- ing performance, with Ward Lasley looking good at fullback. i Davidson 18 — Barium Springs Davidson kept the upper hand throughout all four periods of a contest with a lighter and less skillful Barium Springs squad. The Wild- cats reaped revenge upon a game, but outclassed Barium eleven in an easy 1 8 to victory. Leading a brilliant running attack John Sherrill climaxed a fast drive from the Barium 42-yard line to mark up the first tally with a third down ten yard dash. Wingback Sterl- ing Edwards crossed the goal for the second touchdown on a reverse from Sherrill striding into the end zone standing after a thirty-four yard push to this victory. The Wildcat reserves then took the spot- light, and refusing to be overshadowed by their first string colleagues, staged a spectacular drive from their own forty-one to the game ' s final score. Tailback Gurney Boren took the ball on the seven and swept right end with not one Barium man laying a finger on him. The second half opened with a passing at- tack by the contestants which offered the firsl and only real threat to the ' Cats ' easy victory. Completing six out of seventeen passes for a total of sixty-four yards, the Barium warrior came within a few feet of the Davidsron goa line. The aerial attack was finally broken by the Davidson backs, however, and the scoring threat of the day was averted. The starting team took over as the fourth period opened and marched all j|i S «n ' down the field to within six inches Sf the Ban goal line. Feature of this advance was a thir seven yard pass from Tailback Dave NcilT to Sterling ' Edwards. At this point Sheppard sent in a new team which, with four downs, could not quite ma the pay dirt, the opponents bemg five-yard penalty.

A pass from Neill to end Iver- and runs by Sherrill and Neill took the . he two-yard linf: from this point 11 plunged to the fin ' touchdown of the test. The cadets played a good running game amassing six first downs against nine for the victors, but were never able to make their of- fensive pay off. Defensive stars for the Wildcats were: Millar. Strickland, Morrison and Leon- Woodbury Forhst 1 8 — Davidson The Wildcats went down to an 1 8 to defeat before a powerful Woodbury Forest eleven with icy Virginia winds cutting into the Davidson ranks and playing havoc with a squad weakened by cases of colds and influenza. Fullback John Sherrill was severely handi- capped by an injured knee. Sherrill, mainstay of the Wildcat attack, played only part of the y ame, but turned in a good performance. The line play of Bob Strickland and the fine passing arm of Dav ' ' ' :liji;ijl were missed by Davidson, both men being on the casualty list. The interception of a Davidson pass by Mur- JQHNSON, JACKSON, EDWARDS, BROTHERS phy on his own fifteen yard line set the stage for the first scoring of the game. The Wood- bury Forest men commenced a drive which was led by the powerhouse of their offensive. Dean Davidson, all-state fullback for the Orange and Black, who smashed over for the score. The third quarter brought catastrophe to the Wildcat eleven through fumbles deep in Davidson territory which gave a scoring set-up twice to the Foresters. Peterson capitalized on the first of these and after a forward pass later placed the opponents on the Davidson four yard line. Belew racked up the last score of the contest. Midway of the second period the Cats dem- onstrated their only show of offensive power by lunging to the Woodbury fifteen, only to be foiled by a pass interception. Highlighting this ofl ensive was the running of Sherrill and the pass from Quarterback Jo e Richert to substi- tute Wingback Bill Montgomery who gave a brilliant performance against his Alma Mater. € SPUIG  - i f 1 William j. storv, Jr. K . With intercollegiate football competition having been impossible at David- son because of a reduced student body occasioned by the war. football fans cheered up to the prospect of brighter days ahead as Coach Bill Story started rigorous practice sessions in February. Bill Story. Davidson ' s new head coach, is a native of Virginia. He played football in high school, at William and Mary, and at Elon College and has since established a remarkable record as a coach and leader of winning teams. He has coached at Craddock. Virginia. High School, and at Granby High in Norfolk where he won state championships twice and was twice runner- up. Since l ' )4 he has established a record of twenty-one consecutive wins, and in 1944 and 194 5 his teams set a national high school record by scoring 73 and 440 points. Bill Story ' s arrival at Davidson marks a step in the college ' s return to athletics of a higher caliber although the Wildcats are tempering their come-back by a relatively light schedule in this season. North Carolina State and V. M. L are taking perhaps the greatest positions on the slate. As initial drills started in the spring. Davidson ' s new football head was fortunate in having several pre-war Wildcat stalwarts such as Earlc Bethea. Ace Maloney. Art Roach, George Peters. Buck Archer and Bill McLean on the roster with the prospect of a number of returnees this fall. Story was assisted in his coaching by Charlie Jameson who tutored the line with Al Moneyhan. a student who has had experience in college and professional football, assisting both. Opening the spring practices with fast scrimmage, the teams were groom- ed for practice games later in the season. Davidson plans to play the big schools again as in pre-war days, but the come-back will, of course, not be accomplished over night, and a glance at the season ' s schedule indicates con- tests with the following: Eight games are scheduled, the first and last to be witnessed in Charlotte ' s Memorial Stadium, and three on Davidson ' s Richardson Field. The night of October 5 will be the occasion of the season ' s opener played against Wofford in Charlotte. North Carolina State at Raleigh, V. M. I. at Lexington. anJ Hampden-Sydney. Washington and Lee. and Richmond at Davidson will next be played with Centre College at Danville and the Citadel at Charlotte, FOOTBUL completing D.ividson ' s first schedule upon re-entry into the interco football world. The turnout for spring practice was encouraging to Davidsonians. and Story has some prospects that he expects to develop into top rate ball players. Several of the squad that played with Story at Granby High were present to add their skill and familiarity with the coach ' s demands to the success of the teams efforts. Ends Hal Mapes. Bill Johnson, and Buck Archer were leading contenders for this spot. Biggest of the tackles was Buddy Chandler of Norfolk, weigh- ing 205 pounds and familiar with Story ' s methods. Other men competing for this spot were L. B. Scott. Bob Strickland. Jack Hilton, who played with the 82nd Airborne team during the war. and Hugh Gibson. At guard. Bill Boyd. Hugh McArn. R, C. Millar and Bill McLean were the four leading candidates. Best prospects at center were J. M. Bailey, a 205-pounder. and Z. Holler. In addition to the former Wildcat stars who were getting in shape during the spring practice sessions, a number of new prospects were drilled by Story in these conditioning months. George Peters, who played end in ' 42. was shifted to tailback, but will be able to play wingback also. Other backs for this position were Art Roach, a varsity player before the war, Guy Les Bangs and Bob Campbell. Red Bcthea. Davidson ' s fine pre-war punter was back at the blocking back position. Joe Richcrt was also a candidate for this spot. At fullback there was Buck Troutman, Carl Pahl. H. ' V. Andcrton, Dave Maloney. and Bill Bowman. BHUTBUL The Wildcat cagcrs completed their schedule by taking twelve games from their opponents in scrap- py contests; able ball handling and smart play con- tributed to Davidson ' s winning or keeping strong adversaries to narrow victories with the men in Red and Black holding leads during most of the game and being edged out by a point or two. Captained by Ed White, a pre-war Wildcat bas- ketball player, the Davidson team sparked by such men as Berry. Brownson. Iverson. Maner, Mendlcr. Neill, Neisier. Peters. Yarborough and Robertson fought through the ' 45-46 season and offered some skillful demonstrations and exciting play to athletic fans. The opener was a success for the ' Cats as Kanna- polis Y was encountered and taken in a 41-22 victory. In the first intercollegiate match of the year, the ' Cats looked good as they out- played a team which had a decided advantage in size and height over the victors. Scoring first, Elon took the lead, but soon gave it up and Davidson led the visitors for the remainder of the contest. An even match was witnessed until near the end of the first half when Davidson launched an offen- sive commencing a scoring spree amassing eight points in rapid succession and stepping ahead from a 10-10 tie. Elon whittled this down to 18-21 by halftimc, however. Midway of the second half the ' Cats broke B another period of even play and outdistanced their opponents until the final whistle. High scorer in this game, as in many other games during the season, was Ed White who collected six- teen points for the home team, followed by Berry with eight and Maner with six markers. Next Shepard ' s cagers met with the basketball prowess of the powerful machines of Duke and North Carolina. Suffering defeat at the hands of these opponents, the ' Cats next played a return game with Kannapolis Y and again emerged victorious by a narrow margin of 44-4 . The Blue Devils of Duke in trounced the men in Red and Black by a score 27, followed by an N. C. State victory, a caker lost in the final minutes of play by a score of 44-41 after holding a lead over the State team during part of the game. Furman next played host to the Davidson team and split even with the Wildcats, taking the first game 3 8-34 and giving up the second to Davidson 47-40. The men from the Palmetto State were des- tined to visit the Davidson campus three weeks later. hoM ver, and earn two wins in close and hard fought games. Before losing to Furman, Davidson fell in defeat again before a second onslaught by North Carolina. The two Furman games were similar, filled with ac- tion and fight: Davidson led in each at the half and only dropped behind in the final moments. In the first of these games George Peters. Lou Mendler, and Bill Hodgin played their first basketball after re- turning from the service. The ' Cats opened up by taking a quick lead and seemed to be headed for a triumph over the visitors. By halftime. however, the score was 18-15 and the Furmafi five l ad almost evened things up. After the half the vijitors took the lead and kept it. In the second engagement a t n point ead was soon obtained by the Wildcats pnd it see™d that revenge would be reaped upon the South Carolin- ians. 22-20 marked the score at the half, hovd er, and the game ended with Furman victorious score of 38-3 6. George Peters with ' ' his accurate iMg shots led tliaaifc vidson scoriiK with thirteen ftoint followed by White uith twelve. The College of Charleston fell before the David- son basketeers in an easy 1-38 triumph for the locals, but the men of the Citadel next edged it Yarborough NEILL NEISLER MANER the ' Cats by inflicting a narrow 41- 9 defeat. Shepard then led his cagers into a winning streak taking WofFord. Clemson, Wofl ord for a second time, and the Citadel in rapid succession. In the victory over Wofford laurels go to Tommy Yarborough, a pre-war eager and captain of the ' 41 team, who played a smart game with his fast breaks and skillful defensive play. The second engagement with the Citadel gave Davidson men a thrill as revenge was sought for the previous defeat at the hands of the men from Charleston. Citadel led at the half and continued to add to their mounting score with a ten point lead, but at this point a Davidson rally garnered enough points to put the ' Cats ahead and the local cagers were able to hold the scoring of the visitors to practically nothing during the final ten minutes of play. Bob Berry dropped four straight baskets setting the pace for the team and Ed White swung into action during the final minutes. Captain Ed again led the scoring with ten points. Bill Iverson of the Fresh- man Class turned in a fine performance, making a record for himself as a fine all-round athlete this season, not an outstanding scorer, but one of Shcpard ' s best and most dependable floor men. Bobby N4aner demonstrated his usual scrappy fight and Bill Robinson ' s defensive game was good. Clemson next worked upon the Wildcats and made up for the previous de- feat by taking a S3-4Q game, followed by N. C. State ' s 49-42 victory over Davidson. Fortune smiled upon feline efforts as Charleston. Appalachian, and Washington and Lee in a double engagement fell before Wildcat prowess. How- ever, the season ended in a defeat at the hands of Catawba 64-58 thus com- pleting the ' 45- ' 46 schedule. It is unfortunate that Davidson ' s veteran basketball players could not have been present at the beginning of the season for two reasons. They would have been a great help in the season ' s early engagements and they would have had more time to get in shape after their years in the army.

Davidson has not entered this field since 1943 when the Wildcats field- ed a group that went through the season undefeated. The only veteran of the ' 4 3 squad to return to lend his prowess toward Davidson victories was George Peters, who served as co-captain of the squad J.43 and is a consistent point winner in hurdles. poI «i4 JiiBl ump and broad jump.

Looking exceptionally good in practices were speedster Ward Lasley with his 10.2 second hun- dred: Bill Montgomery boasting a 23.8 second 220- yard dash, and Buck Troutman with a six-foot soar in the high jump. Ward Lasley. fast Davidson dash man, Gundar Gray, distance winner exceptional who consistently earned points in every event in which he participated during the year, and Bob Lacy, hurdler and high jumper, all contributed to these Davidson victories. For the third win in a row. Davidson met the track stars of North Carolina State — the highlight of the week-end of the Spring Frolics.

The first of these, the Tommy Peters Trophy is to be given the best all-around athlete who each year ex- emplifies the Davidson athletic tradition of which Tommy Peters is the symbol. It will be awarded by Robert L. Peters, father of the late Davidson athlete, an alumnus of 1916. Tommy Peters is ranked as perhaps the grestest all-around performer in Davidson history, al- though the war cut short his career after his sophomore year. He was killed in action in Germany in April. 1945. Tommy entered Davidson in 1941 and began making athletic history. He won four varsity letters as a sophomore, the first in his- tory to make this record. His brother, George, a student this year, starred on the basketball and track teams and will be back this next season. The Armfield Blocking Trophy, donated by Ed Armfield ( 1937 ) of Greensboro, will go to the best football blocker. The Stroud Interfraternity Track Trophy will be awarded the winner of the intramural meet each spring and is given by W. E. Stroud. Jr. of Athens. Georgia, in memory of his brother James E. Stroud, killed in a plane crash in 1 945. i:- p-- ' - ■■ , unmi RESUME Coach Jameson February first Davidson was pleased by the encouraging news of Charlie Jameson ' s assignment as head baseball coach and as- sistaMtfootball coacjii, thus marking Davidson ' s entry back into full iTitercollcgiate sports program after a period of curtailed athletics occasioned by the war. A graduate of the LMtversity of Arkansas, Coach Jameson starred in football in both line and backfield and pitched on the baseball team there. For five years a pitcher in professional baseball leagues, Jameson then became head football coach at Memphis Tichnical High School, iMemphis State Teachers Col- lege and went on toaye of absence ci Chapel Hill upon the Tennessee School ' s suspension of ' football in 1944. Opening practices during e first days of March, Jameson took over the work of Athletic Director Norman Sheppard who had tor several weeks worked with pitchers, catchers and infield men while Jameson assisted Coach Storey with Spring Football. Nineteen Forty-six BANGS BETHEA Two old Wildcat baseballcrs returned to aid Jameson with the season ' s contests. Dave Maloney, a third-sacker, and Tommy Yarborough, a fielder, who served as captain of this year ' s nine. Facing teams of far greater experience, the ' Wild- cats dropped the first five of the season ' s baseball en- counters with Catawba, Rex Hanover Mills. Fur- man, Clemson. and N. C. State before breaking into the win column by taking Roanoke to the tune of 20-15. Winning only one game in these early season clashes. Davidson ' s outfit demonstrated vast improve- ment under Jameson ' s tutelage and dropped many games by margins that leave us only Catawba ' s 21- 1 victory in the class of a runaway. Clemson paced the ' Cats by a narrow 5-4 with Bill Brownson giving up but five singles. John C. Herion pitched the men of Washington and Lee to a six hit game, and husky Buddy Chandler put a homer over the fence, but the ' Virginians edged out another 5-4 victory. In these early games only little Roanoke College bowed to a 20-15 defeat before the Davidson might. Seeking revenge, the Davidson baseball team turn- ed the tables in a victory over Furman 5-4 following a defeat by the South Carolina nine earlier in the season. Wofford later bowed to the local nine and the season ' s slate was completed when Davidson en- countered Roanoke College, losing the game 13-17 after defeating this outfit 20-15 earlier in the season. The Davidson team got off to an unimpressive start with a largely inexperienced crew which, al- though they did not often prove victorious over their opposition, have shown vast improvement and pro- vided good competition for the best in the conference, dropping many games by a narrow margin which a timely hit or two would have changed. Of greatest concern to Coach Jameson was the pitching department, although he feels that he had good material which with experience should prove valuable. Junie Guy was the most consistent hurler. Hall Mapes, Carol Herion, Bill Brownson and Jim Briggs also offered some good pitching. Mapes ' speed and curve looked good against Caro- lina, although Davidson lost this heartbreaker in the ninth inning with a 7-5 victory for the visitors. ,o MARKi:v, ManaaiT Herion turned in a good job. except for two bad in- nings against Duke which cost the ' Cats a 1 2-5 de- feat, and also gave an impressive account of his hurl- ing skill in the 5-4 loss to Washington and Lee. Coach Jameson looks to these three hurlers together with Jim Briggs and Bill Brownson to deliver the goods next season. Doug Rice, Jim Ellis and Jimmie French have of- fered some fast play in the infield and worked smoothly in two double plays against Carolina, while Jameson terms his outfield of Bill Bowman. Les Bangs, and Tommy Yarborough The best in the league. The hitting pace for the season was set by Jimmie French and Bill Bowman with marks well over .400. Chandler and Anderton followed closely and Chand- ler ' s power poled some long drives during the year. Coach Jameson looks to the future with optimism as only Captain Tommy Yarborough will be lost to the Wildcat baseballers the next season. A month of baseball practice is scheduled for the fall and workouts in January and a tour of games in the lower South will precede the Southern Conference opening and place the ' Cats in experienced shape and ready to go.

Wake Forest, North Carolina State, Fur- man, the Citadel and Illinois State Teachers College. The team was captained by Buck Archer, a returning Davidson veteran, holding down the number one spot and losing only one game in a close match. Jerry Robinson, also a returned veteran and letter man in ' 4 5. was undefeated, while Don Hatch, whose playing with Central High in Charlotte earned him fame, went through the schedule with only one loss. Lyttleton Scott, runner-up in the State High School Finals in ' 45. won all of his matches. Ralph Alexander, number five man. lost but two single matches. Ed ' White, all-round athlete, was late coming out for tennis, but won one important match. Robinson and Hatch comprised the number one doubles team which swept through the spring without a loss. Scott and Archer held down the number two doubles team which also had a clean slate. Alexander and White lined up for the third doubles team and were victorious in their one match.

This is perhaps because of the all- inclusive nature of these activities. Each of Davidson ' s nine social fraternities fields a team in each of the major sports. Top athletes among the independents form teams which have offered stiff com- petition to the Greeks. Under the direction of Coach Pete Whittle, a tournament in each sport is conducted and points are earned by the various frater- nities toward winning the coveted Athletic Trophy which is awarded to that group each year amassing the highest score throughout the year. Points are also awarded to those taking part in varsity com- petition. This year Phi Delta Theta took top honors. Fraternity competition is held in Football, Basketball. Volleyball, Track, and Softball. The games draw many students and many fine athletes appear in these fraternity sports. fight: wildcats: fight: Davidson ' s cheerleaders: Floyd Martin, Frank, Barr, Herb Miller and Bi served as head cheerleader for the 1046 Wildcats.
