The Athletic Association N APRIL of last year, the major letter recipients of 1944 met in Room A to choose, from their number, the Athletic Association of 1945. In this meeting, John Reeves and Robert Smith were elected Chairman and Secretary respectively, and McCulloch, Perry, and Schoenfeld were selected to complete the committee. This year's Athletic Association has made no radical changes in the rules and procedure of the organization. It has, as in past years, carefully considered the qualifications of each participant in the school's sports program, and has awarded the school insignia in the cases which they have deemed deserving. The Athletic Association, however, did deviate from its constitution by award- ing major letters to the soccer team which tied for the District Championship. Heretofore, major letters have been awarded only when the championship clearly belonged to St. Albans. However, because of the excellent record of the team and the fact that examinations prevented a play-off, the Association felt itself justified in presenting major letters to the team.

WHELAN HEN football practice began last fall, Mr. Wagner announced that a new coach was going to help to train this year's gridmen. Tommy Whelan, former Cath- olic University star, was the man chosen to aid Mr. Wagner in the task of making thirty-two out-of-condition boys into a well-knit group capable of playing football. St. Albans played its opening game of the 1944 season against Devitt on Cctober 16, on Satterlee Field. Leading until the final quarter, the Blues, with two touch- downs, scored on passes from Bob Smith to Bruce West and a safety by Stirling, became exhausted and fell prey to Devitt's sparkling aerial offensive. The Devitt team left the field on the long end of a 23-16 score. The following week the Blues journeyed to Charlotte Hall. There on a rain soaked held they were able to score once, this on a reverse from West to Schoenfeld, and their opponents twice. ln the final period with the score 13-7 in their favor, Charlotte Hall once more moved toward the Albanite goal. This time, however, the Blue line held, and the game ended with the Marylanders ahead 13-7. Tl-IE ALBANIAN'
