Next, Augusta defeated our team in a terrific battle ending l5-8 in their favor. B Now approached the biggest game of the season, with Roanoke High School. This was the opponent which the cadets wished most to sink. The game was a fast one marked after the fashion of the Big l..eagfuers, and the spectators witnessed an exhibition of pep and go that was nothing short of marvelous. The team came through with flying colors amid the cheers of the cadets and beat Roanoke, 9-2. Our defeat in football at their hands was avenged. Natural Bridge then came to try their luck, but met a crushing defeat at the hands of the Methodists, 21-2. A Our last encounter was with the Bedford Athletic Association, which fared no better than the preceding team. ' Thus, the baseball season came to a close with most of the games to our credit. The reports of the neighboring papers on the actions of our team were most favorable to read, but it did not take those reports to convince. us: we knew from the ezrhibitions given by our team. Prospects for this year's team are of the best and we see no reason why it should not be a winner. V 1 As our record of the work of our last year's team draws to a close we can but extend your most heartfelt congratulations to those of that memorable squad who played the game for all there's in ii: who played the game and played to win it.

Swimming SEASON 1927-1928 l-IEN candidates for the tank team were called this year an entirely new group of swimmers reported to Coach Maben, these being the first tankers turned out by the Lemon and Black for two years. The Cadet Sea Lionsn won their first victory against Washington and Lee Freshmen by a score of 33 to 28 in a meet held in our home tank. Thus, our tankers, showing wonderful form, began thelseason. Although inexperi- enced, our team ,showed excellent form in all events-remarkable speed in the water and exceptional form on the board and in the air. Our next meet was with Fishburne Military School in our home tank. This was a very strenuous contest and it seemed that the Methodist Sea Lions would be victorious up until the very last minute when, after some controversy over the diving, we went down into a lighting defeat by the small margin of four points. The final score was 33 to 29. l961mYi IH' 'Nl -13 wi,
