Dan Banks, cleanup man, then hit the first pitch for a line drive into center field for a home run. The Tigers were able to get only one more hit in the game, that being a triple by Charlie Wiehrs and went down 8-2. Iust as Col. Garland had expected, the lack of ex- perienced pitchers was quite apparent in the year's first game. ln the second game the Tigers' loss was due definitely to a lack of hitting ability. The Tigers were able to get only four hits off the Castle Heights pitcher, two by Paul Tarnow and two al-9241-2-tnawif Am- 07172 .. OK Capt. Davisson, Asst.

The game was close all the way and at the end of the seventh inning the score was tied at three all. ln the top of the ninth the Castle Heights team was able to push over one run and the Tigers were unable to do so in their part of the half. The game was high- lighted throughout by the brilliant work of Whitey Linton on the mound and Dan Banks at shortstop. The end of the second game found Pete Gar- land at the top of the hitting list with a .429 average. The Tigers have a swell team this year and it will only be a matter of time until they hit their stride. Time: March 31: Place: S.M.A.: Game: St. Andrews: Result: He's out! Q 1 it a Q. if by W f t

Bottom row, lett to right: Van Leer, Funkhouser, Fasick, and Edmond- son. The S.M.A. netmen have looked better this year than they have tor many years. Under the supervision of Col. Fasick the team has grown into a compact group which averages with the best in the Mid-South. Iimmy Funkhouser, a senior this year, and number one player, is rated as one ot the tap players in the conference. Always push- ing and a constant threat to Funkhouser, was Gene Thomas, a newcomer this year, who quickly took over the number two spot on the squad. Sammy Van Leer, number three man, and Clyde Pasick, playing number tour spot, are both juniors and veteran net- men with two years each ot varsity tennis to their cridit, who are genuine threats tor any contestant in the B division. With canaries on their shoulders and bells ringing in their heads, the fighting Tigers fought well all season under the able super- vision oi Coach and Captain Carvel Six. ln the matches with McCallie and St. Andrews l24 lbs., has that courage and spirit which is vital in a boxer. ln the Mid-South Tournament Carvel Six was the lone entry from S.M.A.7 he won in e fmeliminaries by a T.K.O. but was de- Bgpe by a split decision in the semi-finals. 49 the QUQQGTS madefiH?ShOWif1qS' In the A Negibfear, it the spirit and enthusiasm Cattle match ,Loyd SPIYQYI Hogg GOONH7 X? s wn by the 'Sl squad endures, the Corps and Carvel Six were victors.
