The WEE BAGPIPEH FOOTBALL TEAM ITH only six letter men back on the squad, Coach Hand began work immediately after school opened. Due to the lack of players he was handicapped in forming a line, but the back field work was excellent. The team encountered all teams in the con- ference and Davidson Freshmen. Even though the playing does not show so well in points, the score in sportsmanship is one seldom excelled. The freshmen contributed strongly to the team, proving that we should have an excellent team next season. Home-coming game was played late in October with Brevard as the opposing team: great work was shown in passes and runs by both teams, and Brevard carried the score with 18 to 6. 6 BASKETBALL TEAM HE Basketball Team this year had a very successful season. With six letter men returning, and with a promising group of Freshmen, Coach Hand trained these men into an excellent team, a team which showed the highest example of sportsmanship. The team, led by those letter men, encountered many strong opponents and played admirably. The boys always played head's-up ball. Entering the junior College tournament at Davidson, we lost to one of the strongest teams in the conference. Some of the best players being Freshmen. an indication is seen that a stronger team will be developed next year.

Presbyterian Junior College BASEBALL TEAM EGINNING practice under terrible odds, the boys show splen- did spiritg few games have been played as yet, but the future is bright. With new suits, white and red, the boys present a colorful specimen of real sports. While under handicaps from all sides, the team plays with wonderful skill, and endurance. Many of the players are First Year men, and some have never played baseball before, but in spite of this, we are expecting great things from the Coach and his baseball men. 6 INTRAMURALS ECAUSE of the lack of equipment, many of the minor sports had to be cut from our program this year, however, with teams representing Commercial Class, Freshmen Class, and Sophomore Class, our interest was upheld throughout Basketball seasong and since warm weather, a Tennis tournament is being staged. Track news is scarce, except that many of the boys are planning to enter the Conference tournament at Davidson, representing P. C. Wfith this being the first year intramurals have been tried here, amazing interest is shown, and great advantages are shown for future work in this line of athletics. Boxing was removed entirely from our program, thus causing much more interest in other parts of the athletic program. Though we lose many of our best players in all the intramurals at the close of this session, we are hoping for the best in years to come, for through this program we have found much enjoyment, and new material for our teams.
