VANDEWEGHE ALLRED BERNARD ( 30 ) History of tlie Class If you could gaze into a magician’s crystal ball and look back four years you would see a group of unintelligent gawky looking boys and girls as they sat upon the threshold of higher learning in the gymnasium of Hampton High School. For th is is the time when the class of ’39 matriculated into the realm of Latin, algebra, and chemistry. We successfully started and got our first taste of high school life during foot- hall season. Christmas holidays brought joy to our hearts and after a session of tests in January we passed on to the grade known as IB. To us, this was heaven. Just think, we were educated rats. Basketball season rolled around and with the coming of Spring and track season we had somewhat gotten over our freshman awkwardness and were fighting for the chance to become sophomores. June came and we shook oil a bad case of spring fever and over exerted our¬ selves to pass. Most of us did pass, and we realized that our freshman days were over and we could casually stroll through the door over which a neon sign read “For Sophomores Only’’. As sophomores we could hardly restrain ourselves. We could proudly prance around the halls of Hampton High and gaze over the ranks of the lowly rats with a feeling of superiority. This, our sophomore year, was made doubly enjoyable by the acquisition of the State Championship by our football team. Well do we remember our 13-6 victory over Newport News and then the climax of the season at Danville on Thanksgiving Day. After Christmas we elected as our officers, Robin Olds, President; Taylor Wilson, Vice-President and Jackie McDuffie, Secretary and Treasurer. With these capable students at the head of our class, we progressed rapidly and the coming of spring brought us to our Easter holidays. After returning from these few days of peace, we plowed through tests, and looked on as the class of ’37 graduated. With this event we realized that we had moved up one more cog in the wheel of life. We were juniors. ( 31 ) 9he Jirabba When we returned to school in September, ’37, we were rather happy about the whole thing. We had members of our class on the football squad and we really felt up in the world. Football season flew by and with the passing of Christmas holidays we took time out to elect officers. We elected Robin Olds President, Mary Frances Sheehan, Vice-President, and Phyllis Reid, Secretary and Treasurer. Basketball season is just a memory. Track season, and spring were on us be. fore we knew it. Easter holidays came as a blessing from heaven and after return¬ ing we all looked forward eagerly to the Junior-Senior Prom. Came the event¬ ful night and in our Sunday best we trucked on down and had a high time. During the first and second week in June, we watched with envy as the Seniors strutted around in their white linen suits and we realized that our days as juniors were growing shorter and shorter. When the President of the Senior Class presented the cap and gown to Robin Olds, we brought ourselves to the realization that we were tops in the school. We could enter school in September as Seniors and no longer have to look up to a higher class. When we re-entered school after summer vacation, we were brought face to face with the realization that we were seniors and must act as such—no more fool¬ ing around, kidding for us. We must be dignified. We thoroughly enjoyed the football season. Just before Christmas, orders were taken for our senior rings. They arrived in time to be considered swell Christ- mas presents and to make us realize more sharply that we were in our last year at Hampton High. We elected as our officers: Robin Olds, President; Virginia Speegle, Vice-Presi¬ dent: Mary Haymes, Secretary, and Della Lockwood, Treasurer. These students fully lived up to the trust we placed in them and helped guide us through the rocky course that constituted our senior year. After Christmas came basketball season, and after the team had won eight or nine games, we decided they really were good. How proudly we followed them and supported them as they fought on to the State Championship. The whole town turn¬ ed out to see the final game that gave us the first basketball championship in the history of our school. Then came Spring—Easter and track meets in rapid succession. Senior invi¬ tations were ordered, pictures taken, and cap and gowns fitted. As our days as seniors come to a close, we look b ack on the accomplishments and improvements that we have seen during our four years spent here. We have seen the Crabbers have a championship football team, a championship basketball team, a newspaper, a stadium, a bigger and better annual and a new wing on the building. Our class has had much to do with this progress and we are proud of it. As we graduate, we step upon the threshold of life. Many of us will try to find our place in this busy world. No matter what we do, where we go, or the experiences we have, we shall never forget our school days spent in the halls and classrooms of Hampton High School.

C. bringing to you “A world of news about the news of the world” from station H. H. S. You hear this news, not as gossip, hut as it actually happened. Hampton, Virginia: Dr. Thomas Chisman, a prominent physician of that town, had as a patient, Miss Wilma M. Baker. Dr. Chisman said his patient had an extraordinary ease of polyandry. For those who are in doubt, this is the civil condition of having more than one husband. After several weeks of Dr. Chisman’s attention. Miss Baker requested that her body he taken care of by the Charles N. Allen Funeral Home. William Westwood Volkmer is still trying to make the Hamilton Little Theatre Guild which is directed by Bernard L. Cooper. Shirley Barbour continues to sweep all opposition in the beauty contests, while Liliane Hefflin had to build an extra closet in her house to put all the cups and blue ribbons that she has won, making a horse do everything but talk. M iss Ruby Hill, having disposed of William J. House, James Monroe Hoover, and two other unfortunate husbands, is still ending her prayers, AH-MEN. Victor Camnitz, the famous business man of Phoebus, has two secretaries, Miss Helen Messick and a “hunt and peck” secretary, Miss Etta Marie Hollingsworth. Mr. Harold Watterton, a handsome lifeguard at Buckroe Beach, Virginia, says he has rescued the same girl five times in the last two weeks. To keep from embarrassing her, he said he wouldn’t tell the newspapers that is was Miss Mattie Mae Kaiser. M iss Dorothy Muire, an authority on seafood, says that as fish, men are plenty smart. They take her bait hut don’t get hooked. Dr. Robert Moberg treated Saunders Woodward for two years for Yellow Jaundice before the Doctor discovered that Woodward was a Chinaman. Thomas Collier, who just observed his 75th birthday, was proposing to Roberta Grigg. She objected saying that he was too old and she was so young. He said, “That’s all right; I’ll wait.” Julia Monroe attempted to conquer the depths of the Pacific in a globe-like tank. She took a one way trip, hut we can understand that, as the latest news flashes reveal that William Barnes made the tank. M iss Rachel Elaine Griffith complained to chief of the Hampton police force, Russell Ruggles, that a man has been following her for the past ten years. Choose from the follow¬ ing list of names the person that you believe to be guilty: 1. A1 Vandeweghe. During the last war when the soldiers had to be drafted, Eugene Ellsworth Bowman, Orbin Carter, and Elmer Turner fougbt and fougbt, but they still had to go. M iss Anasta sia Antinori, Miss Nellie Mae Askew, Miss Anna Gumming, Miss Marjorie Spivey, Miss Nellie Garber, missionaries to Langley Field, report conditions are terrible, spiritually. These missionaries believe that if they can persuade Mary Haymes, Joan McKinstry, Phyllis Reid, Many Ann Schell, Virginia Sparks, Weston Maughan, and Vernon Richardson to repent, there is also a little hope for Marie Bourdreaux, Ed Rooney and Holbrook Thomas. Mr. Eugene Smith, Mr. Thomas Seals, and Miss Doris Elizabeth McGuire, members of the Salvation Army of which Charles J. Yates, Jr. is the head, started for Phoebus. This group was met by Thomas Stacey, Morris Selby, and Miss Doris Virginia Brown. The Salvation Army will begin looking for new territory to work in at once. Flashes from Hollywood! Martha Raye is looking for a new job as Miss Betty Johnson recently signed up with M-G-M, • Bill McGuire, James Gardner, and Addis Moore.)

Stanley Trimble, Harold Wickstrom, Ned Schramm, and Orison Marple had leading roles in the four bell picture “Three Men and A Rat.” During the latest production of the picture “Gunga Din,” Hollywood was badly in need of sound effects. Coming to the rescue were Vassie Lee Smith, Helen Shelton, Sam Johnson, Dorothy Smith, Julia Sinclair and Charlotte Gresham. They made the din. Charlotte Garrett, Bessie Hutton, Olive Heffernan, George Carlton, and Beulah Horton had leading roles in the five star picture “All Jeers.” Washington, D. C. Mr. Charles James Haffner, president of the United States, recently appointed Lee Sullivan as head of the W. P. A. (Woo Pitchers Association.) Mina Glass, Faye Gilliam, and Mary Louise Wood have been trying desperately to become members of this association, but Vice- President George Colonna said, “No, we want nothing but untried talents. We want members such as Miss Betty Woodward, Frances Calhell, Pauline Moore, and Winnie Baker.” Miss Maxine Liberty, secretary to Chief Justice Charles F. Tavlor, says, “I am in favor of the W. P. A. because—Oh, Dukie!” Miss Margaret Newton, the famous Olympic swimmer, said she took up summer sports be¬ cause she just can’t stand these cold winters. ( 36 ) M iss Betty Hyatt, a famous debutante, says the only kind of rhythm she doesn’t like is a logarithm. Mr. James Gardner, ace “G-man,” reports that conditions are getting serious. If they keep up, he will be out of a job. Linwood Gunter, Dorothy Goodrich, and Lester Hudgins are setting such good examples of citizenship that even Olive HefTernan, Catherine Atkins and Ella Mae Camper have repented. Mexico! Senor John Bailey Rollins, III. has the distinction of being the greatest bull-shooter in the world. San Francisco! Mr. Watson Guy has received a transfer from Levenwortli to Alcatraz.

He has won the last twenty tennis matches in which he participated. Florida! Vincent J. Sansone, the master mind of music, is attempting to organize another orchestra. McNeal Mills will play the piano and Elizabeth Davies will try to sing. Mr. David Miller was walking along Palm Beach the other day singing, “1 want some sea¬ food, Mamma.” Mr. Miller, no doubt, was thinking about mermaids. Governor John Gibson Phillips was campaigning for presidency. Addressing a mob of people, mostly women, he said, “Women are God’s creatures, and I love them all.” Governor Phillips’ wife, the former Miss Ann Page Francis, heard the statement. Governor Phillips is recovering as well as could be expected under the care of Rhoda Markus, a Red Cross Nurse at the city hospital. Flash! Yesterday a terrible tragedy overtook an ocean liner, the “Mary Elizabeth”, named in honor of Miss Mary Elizabeth Topping, the famous author of the book entitled “How to Be¬ have on Dates.” Among the passengers thought to be lost were Miss Frances Sultan, Rose Robinson, Shirlee Mauro, Jean McCaig, Tom Scott, Robert McBride and Randolph Smith. Last night the Coast Guard received this message: “Don’t worry about us. We spotted an island and all are safe. Send one more man.” Eldridge Hunsecker, the radio operator for the Coast Guard, wired back: “He’s on bis way.” Senator R. E. Blankenship wanted to make his fiancee. Miss Mary Waters, happy. He asked, “How would you like to have a pet monkey?” M iss Waters exclaimed, “Oh, Richard, I’ve been waiting for this proposal since we left high school.” Scenes in Science! Dr. Robert Lee Bailey, professor of physics at Harvard, claims he has discovered the rarest gem in existence. He stated the discovery was made soon after a visit by a fellow scientist, Mr. Ira Floyd Congleton. Science lost three great men recently in Warren W. Britt, James A. Croxton and Janies Powell. They were experimenting on a high explosive, and it worked. Chicago! Last Monday the phone rang at the police station. L. W. Hall, the chief, answered it and heard the excited voice of Cecil Mae Topping, as was later learned. She said a man had broken into her house and was after her. Charles Pullman, Richard Johnson, Emmett Wing¬ field, Charles Phillips, Burma Bloxom, Claude Warren Corbett, and John Collins, all dep¬ uties, took up the chase. They brought in James Hutson, who protested his innocence. When Mi ss Topping came in to identify the criminal, she said it couldn ' t have been Hutson because the man that broke into ber apartment was a bold bad man. The suspect was released im¬ mediately. News Abroad! Mrs. Standard, formerly Miss Dorothy Margaret Wintermute, wife of the famous oil magnate, was traveling in Africa. There she met the Kautz sisters, Dorothy and Elsie. The Kautz sisters said they felt at home in Africa because they had always wanted to shoot elephants. The officials in Africa received the following message from America: “Tell Tony Fertilta, Henry Riggins, John Taylor, and Allen Roberts to return home now. The war is over.” Carlton Johnson and his wife, Lillian Johnson, famous explorers in the Congo region, were making their way through the underbrush when a lion leaped upon Carlton. Mrs. Johnson dared not shoot for fear of hitting the lion. Mr. Johnson lived, however. There are reports of a real Tarzen in the Congo. Everybody just laughs and laughs be¬ cause they know it’s Ransone Watterton. ( 37 ) New York! A group of women marched up and down the streets of this city holding up a big sign which read, “We want more goodlooking men.” Among this group were Miss Della Lockwood, Shirley Meyer, Maudine Moore, and Lorene Sorrell. Mr. Robert Latta made the greatest mistake of his career when he brought out a sign which read, “We men feel the same about you women.” Mr. Latta was quickly disposed of. The Society Column! The “Old Ladies Sewing Circle” held its monthly meeting at the home of Miss Norma Lee Trousdell. The members present were Miss Margaret Stinneford, Elizabeth Thomas, Annie Mae Whitley, Sue Underhill and Louise Tyler. Miss June Brehm, the maid of the house, says these women looked like a million but not one is over forty. The members not present were: Miss Laura Copeland, Alice Ford, Anne Colonna, and Anne Bush. Mr. Dois Rosser, owner of the Ladies’ Shop, says there is a new style for dresses this year. They are called barbed-wire dresses. The property is protected but the view is unobstructed. This Curious World! Did you know that Miss Sallie Freeman was offered $1,000 for her silvery laugh? Did you know that Sheldon Friedman, Vernon Haywood, and John Mason actually gradua¬ ted from high school? You have probably guessed that by this time Eleanor Wilson, Anne Rowe, Marie Pierce, and Maude Sinclair have finally found husbands. Did you know that Albert Gsell, M. C. Routten, Mallory Sealey, and Jesse Hunsecker were in the star motion picture of the year, “The Charge of the Light Brigade”? They were in the charge. Mrs. Hope Bully, the former Miss Mabel Verell, recently completed writing a book entitled “How to be Happy Though Married.” Jackie Moore has read the book twice already. Other interested readers are Marion Pollock, Beulah Lewis, Alma Belbin, and Marion Raines. The Rev. Frederick Atwell passed out cold last week when he gazed over the congregation and saw Helen Holbrook, Hazel Topping, Frances Shumate and Anne Buker. Mr. John Dwyer invented a machine to reduce women. It was reported that Miss Mary Cecile Lynn, Edith West, and the two Wallace Sisters, Ida Mae and Nellie Frances, sent letters of gratitude to Mr. Dwyer for his marvelous invention. Scientist claim that women have more courage than men. It must be so because the fire department of Hampton is composed of women except for its chief, Daniel Cock. When a fire broke out at Pine Chapel, better known as Speegleville, Hampton’s fire depart¬ ment, assisted by the Bucket Brigade, fought for days before the fire was subdued. The build¬ ing that continued to blaze was the Bachelor’s Building. Dan rushed in and brought out C. V. Pickup. After rescueing Mr. Pickup, the chief went back and brought out Ethel Me- Entire, Constance Hale, and Hester Stewart, respectively. Dan heard Anne Osterhaus scream¬ ing, but he stood still and shouted, “Just a minute buddy, err-just a minute-Buddy!” The following members of the fire department never returned from that great incident and for their bravery, their names shall be engraved in the Hall of Flame: Dorothy Hoober Mildred Willoughby Mariana Gray Virginia Brown The members that did return are Phyllis Bollenback, Dorothy Mingee. and Elizabeth Irwin. Besides the names of these women is another, Thomas Baker. He was the brave leader of the Bucket Brigade. Mr. Paul Brown, a soldier of fortune, returned from India the other day. He says there are plenty of cobras and pythons there but they are not the type of snakes he likes. Miss Mary Wyatt, on a visit to an art gallery, was asked if she thought it possible to feel colors. She said she thought so because she felt blue all the time. Mr. Donald Boone, who is noted for his lengthy speeches, was invited to a banquet. The toastmaster, Mr. Edward Cullum, asked Mr. Boone to say a few words. Mr. Boone stood up and said, “When I was invited to this banquet, I wasn’t prepared to make a speech.” The toastmaster immediately stood up and said, “Thank you, Mr. Boone. Now to go on with our program, we will he entertained, we hope, by the singing sensation of the season, Miss Bertha Mae Mills.” Time changes things, yon know. M iss Virginia Keller and Cornelia Lewelling wanted to fly an airplane around the world non-stop. On the attempted take-off the plane seemed too heavy. When the two girls in¬ vestigated, they found Miss Adelaide Gardner stowed away. Miss Lois Coltrane, when asked who her favorite actor was, said, “Some fellow by the name of Howard.” William J. Council, Class Prophet, 1939. ( 38 ) Class Poem We stand upcm the threshold. About to leave behind our carefree youth, To make our ways through Life’s vast fields Toward goals we’ve but prepared for in the past. How shall we meet severest tests? How measure in the eye of man and God? The strong and weak were once as we And only gained or lost but by the paths they trod. We shall not fail or fall before the test Or choose the ways by other men disdained. But, rather, pledge ourselves to give our best And strive to use the knowledge we have gained.

It was felt that Hampton ranks high in scholarship and athletics in comparison with other Class A high schools of Virginia and should certainly possess the same advantages that they enjoy. Work on a paper affords excellent training for anyone preparing to enter the field of journalism. It instills school spirit in the student body, and brings these students into closer and more friendly contact. Why should Hampton he deprived of such advantages? It was realized that such a paper would entail long hours of hard work but ibis was no deterrent to the stu¬ dents. The paper was started and called THE TATTLER. When first begun, the paper was mimeographed. However, because of its blurredness, mimeography proved to he a temporary resort and the paper entered into regular print. No tale of THE TATTLER would he complete without mention of the splendid cooperation received from the student body. During the trials and tribulations that were inevitable because the paper was in its incipiency they bought copy after copy and encouraged the staffs. Years from now when the school paper is an establish¬ ed institution and an organ of pride to the school, the class of ’39 may feel proud of itself to know that they began and supported the paper. Whatever else it does, this will be its remembrance—its dedication to Hampton High School. ( 55 ) The Glee Club Director Mr. John W. Starnes Accompanist, Marguerite Davenport On Tuesday, September 13, 1938, the boys and girls Glee Club was organized. After working very indust¬ riously for a few months, ibis group gave a concert in December. Among the outstanding selections were: “Sanctus” from the St. Cecelia Mass by Gounod, “The Kerry Dance” bv Cais-Mallory and ”How Beautiful Upon the Mountain” by Jones. After the concert the Glee Club had more conlidence in themselves, immediate¬ ly they started on their music for a spring concert. At this time Mr. Starnes decided to enter bis Club in the Music Festival at Richmond. The rules of the contest allowed only sixty students to participate in a mixed chorus and thirty students in a girls’ chorus. The Glee Club had over a hundred members so the director had to select a Richmond Chorus. Mr. Starnes started to work with his selected group and worked very hard. On April 21, 1939 the chorus went to Richmond, there to achieve, after weeks of hard work, a grade of “Excellent” in both the mixed chorus and the girls chorus. Hampton High School should be very proud to have such a fine chorus to represent them. Next year the Glee Club hopes to make a finer showing.

Nov. 19 Conference Game ( 72 ) Football Summary HAMPTON 49, MORRISON 0 Hampton Crabbers officially opened the 1938 football season by defeating the fighting farmers of Morrison by a score of 49-0. Morrison was out classed by the lowest Crabber reserve, and Dick Esleeck’s Red and White Warriors refused to give Morrison even one first down. The power of Hampton’s line was plainly shown and the back field sparked by Phil Edmonds show¬ ed that Dick Esleeck had whipped together another powerful football machine. HAMPTON 45, SOUTH NORFOLK 0 Using three entire squads, Coach Esleeck’s Crabl er eleven ran rampant over South Nor¬ folk to win by a score of 45-0. Phil Edmonds touched off the fireworks with a brilliant 67 yard run in the first quarter. From then on it was Hampton’s game. The visitors never threatened to cross Hampton’s goal line and made but 4 first downs during the entire game. Edmonds, Vandeweghe, and Wilson were the star performers and the Hampton line was brilliant in its support of these three backfield men. HAMPTON 0, MAURY 6 Bowing to Maury for the first time in three years the Hampton High School football eleven came out on the short end of a 6-0 score. Maury’s score came in the second quarter after an exchange of punts gave Maury the ball on their own 28 yard line. Forward passes, laterals and penalties took the ball from their own 28 to Hampton’s 15 where Ellis passed to Fitzgerald for a touchdown. During the third and fourth quarters Hampton unleashed a passing attack that almost brought them a score hut faulty ball handling prevented the goal. HAMPTON 47, SUFFOLK 0 Scoring a touchdown during the first minutes of play, Hampton High School returned to the winning col¬ umn by defeating the scrappy class B football eleven from Suffolk by a score of 47-0. Edmonds and Wilson were the star performers, scoring three touchdowns each. Suffolk never threatened to score and the only time they gave the Crabbers any competition was during the third quarter. HAMPTON (I, THOMAS JEFFERSON (I Although the Crabbers consistently gained more ground than the Teejays, they were unable to score as they tied their first game of the season. Making eight first downs to Jefferson’s six, the Crabbers played an excellent defensive game to hold the Jeffs aerial attack at hay. The Richmonders made a touchdown on a forward pass in the first quarter, but it was nullified because of backfield in motion. Hamp¬ ton’s only scoring threat came in the last minutes of play when they rushed to the twelve yard line. However, the timekeeper’s gun went off before the Esleeckmen could score. ( 73 ) 9he drabbet HAMPTON 13, HOPEWELL 7 On October 20 the Hampton High football team journeyed to Hopewell to hand the boys from the rayon city their first defeat of the season. In toppling Hopewell from the ranks of the undefeated, the Crabbers put on an impressive show to score 12 first downs as compar e! to the enemy’s 3. Hopewell drew first blood when Phelps tossed a pass to Parr in the end zone for the score. From then on Hampton’s aggressive eleven started rolling and led by Phil Edmonds they scored in the second and third periods. Hampton’s line was brilliant in its offensive tactics and all their plays were straight power plays. HAMPTON 12, WOODROW WILSON 0 Scoring in the first and second periods, Phil Edmonds led the mighty Hampton eleven to a 12-0 victory over the Portsmouth Presidents. Scoring after five minutes of play, the powerful Hampton running attack tore the Wilson forward wall to pieces and then brilliant defensive work kept the Wilsonites from penetrating our territory hut once. The Hampton eleven outplayed the Presidents in all departments and this victory gave them their second conference game of the season. HAMPTON 37, DANVILLE 0 Hampton’s Red and White seemed to score at will as they trampled the gallant Danville Cardinals to win over them by a score of 37-0. Sparked by Phil Edmonds and A1 Vandeweghe, the Crabber forward line broke through constantly to ruin any attempt to score on the part of the Cardinals. On the offensive, the forwards opened huge holes in the enemy line through which the alert Hampton hacks scampered for long gains. The former State Champions scored in every period. The scores resulted from the running plays of Ed¬ monds, Vandeweghe, Fuller and Captain Elmer Wilson. HAMPTON 6, DEVITT PREP (I Against the heaviest team they had played all season Hampton’s Crabbers scored a thrilling 6-0 victory over a favored Devitt Prep eleven hailing from Washington. This game was one of the roughest games ever played in Darling Memorial Park. It was a rough and tumble affair ail the way with numerous penalties being paced off against both teams. Hampton’s score came as a result of one of these penalties. After playing a largely defensive game the first half, Edmonds tossed a pass to Van¬ deweghe who went to the Devitt 33. Edmonds sneaked through to the ten where Devitt’s rough tactics drew a penalty. This put the ball on the one yard line where Edmonds took it over for the lone score of the game. HAMPTON 0, NEWPORT NEWS 0 Hampton closed its football season by playing to a scoreless deadlock with its traditional rival, the Blue and Gold Typhoon of Newport News. Playing slow football all the way both teams were unable to make any real scoring threats. The most serious threat occurred when Newport News received a fumble on Hampton’s 9 yard line. Hampton’s line strengthened and held the Typhoon for five downs. Hampton showed greater ball handling skill throughout the game and made 13 first downs to Newport’s 8. The game was played in Saunders Stadium and was witnessed by a record crowd of 7,000 expectant fans.

A1 Vandeweghe led the Crabbers throughout the tilt, and Hampton’s lead was never seriously threatened. In this game, the five dark hopes showed that they would he heard from during the season. While the game lacked brilliant or spectacular tactics, it did show that the Crabbers had consistent drive and stamina. HAMPTON 10, CRADDOCK 19 Hampton’s hardwood hoppers took Craddock in easy stride to defeat the fighting Admirals by a score of 40 to 19. Making field goals from all angles of the floor, the Crabbers again showed their power and were never given much competition. In the first half, Craddock made hut four points. During the second half Coach Saunders used his full squad of reserves and the whole team continued to romp over the Admirals. Vandeweghe and Winters led the Crabbers. HAMPTON 30, MAURY 21 Playing one of the roughest games ever seen on a Maury court, the fighting Crabbers took their second conference victory by handing Maury a 30 to 21 defeat. Gangling Joe Savage stole the show with his unfailing shooting ability and was the chief cause of the Commodores’ downfall. Roth teams showed little or no team¬ work and it was a real rough-and-tumble affair. Maury had plenty of chances to score but they just couldn’t make the grade. The Maury defence cracked under the heavy shooting of the Crabbers and after once getting the lead, Hampton never relinquished it. HAMPTON 28, THOMAS JEFFERSON 27 By a narrow margin Hampton’s basketball quintet nosed out a favored T J team by a score of 28 to 27. After getting a 14 to 12 lead in the first half, the Crabbers never gave up, and steady, even, playing brought home the bacon. This game brought out in full the coolness with which the Saundersmen could shoot and showed Hamp¬ ton to he a serious contender for State Championship honors. A1 Vandeweghe and Blimp Winters led Hamp¬ ton while Manson led the Jeffs. HAMPTON 19, JEFFERSON (Roanoke) 25 Bowing for the first time during the season, Hampton’s haughty hardwood hoppers were defeated by Jefferson Fligh of Roanoke, Western Conference leaders, by a score of 25 to 19. Led by Captain Rex Mitchell, the Jellies did not take the lead until the last four minutes of play, when Mitchell scored six points. Playing by far the classiest game so far, A1 Vandeweghe kept Roanoke con¬ stantly on the alert and scored 12 points. Four players were taken out of the game and this was one of the main reasons for Hampton’s defeat. HAMPTON 27, NEWPORT NEWS 25 Before an overflowing crowd Hampton High School’s quintet overcame the fates and defeated Newport News in a story-book thriller. After some four hundred fans had been turned away, the gym doors were locked and the fun began. Hampton’s A1 Vandeweghe ran rough-shod over the Newport News team to bring home the bacon for the first time in some twelve years. In the excitement of guarding Van¬ deweghe, the Typhooners completely forgot their own basket and had lost the game before they realized it. Sokol and Seward were the big guns for the visitors while “Antelope Al” and “Chigger” Bowman led the Crabbers. HAMPTON 22, MAURY 17 In one of the lowest scoring games in the Eastern scholastic division this season Hampton came from behind to keep their perfect record unmarred by defeating Maurv 22 to 17. Maury held Al Vandeweghe to eight points while Reuben, the Maury center, also tallied eight markers. Hampton stayed behind all during the first half, hut a rally in the last quarter gave them the victory. Council, replacing Gene Bowman for the rest of the season, filled in well with the Crabber clique and he and Moberg and Bowman gave the Com¬ modores plenty of trouble. While Savage didn’t score, he was noble in his guarding. J ( 76 ) HAMPTON 37, SUFFOLK 17 A1 Vandeweghe, Joe Savage and Boh Moherg led the Crabber basketball stars as they put the peanut pickers from Suffolk to rout to the tune of 37 to 17. Starting with little scoring the Crabbers finished strong. During the first half Hampton didn’t do so much hut the hoys found themselves in the second and scored 19 points as compared to the four they allowed the Raiders. HAMPTON 34, THOMAS JEFFERSON 19 Playing their first conference tilt in two weeks Hampton’s Eastern Division leaders took Thomas Jefferson of Richmond in tow and defeated them 34 to 19. The Crabbers started strong in the first quarter by scoring 10 points while the Jeffs got but 4. Hooker and Scott, Jeff forwards started working and brought the T. J.’s up a little while Vandeweghe, Moherg anil Council did their hit for the Crabbers. The half ended with the score 16 to 13. The Saundersmen came back stronger than ever in the last as they clinched the game. HAMPTON 42, WOODROW WILSON 25 Moving closer to the Eastern Conference Championship, Hampton’s five hoop ringers defeated Woodrow Wilson of Portsmouth 42 to 25. Led by pace making A1 Vandeweghe who scored 20 points, the Crabbers took the lead and held it during the entire game. Campbell of Wilson and Moherg of Hampton tied for second high scoring honors with ten markers each. This game marked the second Crabber victory over the Presidents and left only New¬ port News in the path of championship honors. HAMPTON 46, CRADDOCK 21 In one of the two brea thers before the Newport News game, the Crabbers again wal lopped the Admirals from Craddock by the decisive score of 46 to 21. Led by Vandeweghe and Moherg the Crabbers took the lead from the start and found smooth sailing throughout the tilt. Coach Saunders sent in his reserves during the last half and they too completely stopped the Craddockmen. A1 and Bob tallied 13 points each while Joe Savage came next with eight. HAMPTON 28, SUFFOLK 25 The Peanut Pickers almost turned the tables on the Eastern division leaders as Hampton just nosed out the Raiders with a score of 28 to 25. Hampton was decidedly the favorite hut the plucky Suffolk men pul up such a fight that is was all the Saundersmen could do to squeeze out the victory. The Raiders held Vandeweghe and Moherg from their usual high scoring and ran up a good total themselves. This game was supposed to be a breather hut the players found it different. HAMPTON 21, NEWPORT NEWS 35 Before 2,400 enthusiastic rooters, the gold Typhoon of Newport News over¬ came the Crabber five by a score of 35 to 21. Playing on a strange court, the Crab¬ bers led at the first quarter hut gave it up during the second never to regain it. During the early minutes of the third quarter Hampton lost A1 Vandeweghe when he fell and sprained his hack. Something happened to the Crabbers after this and the Typhoons parted the meshes almost at will. Moherg, Bowman and the other Crabber basketeers just couldn’t stop the Connmen and the loss made a playoff necessary to determine the Eastern Championship. ( 77 ) HAMPTON 23, NEWPORT NEWS 20 Eetl by A1 Van deweghe and Cbigger Bowman, Hampton High School’s basketeers took their first Eastern Division Championship by defeating the Newport News Typhoon 23 to 20. Before 2,300 fans, the Crabber stars put on a secon d half scoring spree that gave them the victory. After trailing 6-10 at the half, the Red and White broke through to tally 17 points during the third and fourth periods. This game, witnessed by some 2,300 fans, was spectacular in its tenseness and brilliant in its fine performance by the players of both schools. HAMPTON 31, JEFEERSON (Roanoke) 26 Roanoke, winners of the Western Division Championship, just couldn’t stop the aggressive Crabber hardwood stars as they went on to the finals by defeating the Magicians 31 to 26. Rex Mitchell, the much publicized T. j. player, led his teammates as he scored 14 points. A1 Vandeweghe and Rob Moberg led the Crabbers with 14 and 12 points respectively. Hampton led 10 to 5 at the first quarter and from then till the end of the game, the Crabbers held sway on the floor. This game was witnessed by a capacity crowd and they really got their money’s worth. The splendid game of Vandeweghe, Rooney, Council, Savage, Moberg, and Bowmen was really a sight so see, while Boston and Williams were outstanding for Jefferson. HAMPTON 27, PETERSBUHG 21 Winning the State Basketball Championship, the Hampton High School Crabbers defeated the Crimson Wave, Central Division Champions of Petersburg, by a score of 27 to 21. Led by A1 Vandeweghe and Bob Moberg, the Crabbers stopped the best Petersburg had to offer and marched on to victory before 3,000 spectators. Petersburg threw down a battling zone defense in the first quarter and led 7 3. Moberg and Vandy caught on to their defense early in the second quarter and went to work on the basket. The Crabbers led 8-11 at the half. From then on it was Bow¬ man, Savage, Moberg and Vandeweghe. The Crabber stars bombarded the basket and held Petersburg’s Doyle and Gene Kidd to the limit. As the game ended, Hampton closed the most spectacular basketball season in the history of the school.
