BOY SCOUTS Troop 7 Reorganizes Last month the V. E. S. troop took in sufficient new members to make it one of the largest ex- tra curricular organizations in the school. For the first time there is a nearly complete organization with Mr. Follett continuing as scoutmaster; Charlie Weaver. assistant scoutmaster; VanNop- per, senior patrol leader; With- ers, scribe; Barge, quartermasa ter; and three patrols led by Seneff. Sublett, and Harris, S. Men of Rank The troop roster includes two Eagle Scouts tVanNoppen and Harrisi, one Life Scout tBargei, and two Star Scouts tFieId and VVaylandi. By a curious coinci- dence there are no First Class Scouts registered, the rest of the troop being divided between Sec- ond Class and Tenclerfoot Scouts. New Quarters In order to provide sleeping quarters for negro employees of the school, the troop was asked to give up its cabin and take up quarters in the single-roombuild- ing directly behind the infirmary. In acknowledgment of this good turn, the school supplied paint for the new headquarters. Under the direction of Asst. S. M. VVea- ver the boys have been hard at work decorating. Activities As THE METEOR goes to press plans are under way for the troop to act as ushers at the V. M. IsVirginia football game and to take an afternoon and evening hike on Sunday.

Third Quarter VVoodberry again kicked to V . E. S. but recovered the ball on the kickoff after 3 Bishop fumble. But before the Tigers could advance, Lil A1 Williams rose up to inter cept a pass on the 25, and the Bishops again began to march. Pritchard carried the ball to the 50 on a triple reverse, then a pass to Perry and a run by Lee advanced it to the VVoodberry 30. But the Tiger line stopped the Bishops, and Woodberry took the ball just as the quarter ended. Fourth Quarter Woodberry marched to a first down, but lost the ball when Lee intercepted 0 n e of Davidsonk passes. The ball then changed hands three tmes as neither team could score a first down. But Davidson again began to pass, and the Tigers marched to the 4. A penalty put the ball 011Tthe 9, and the Bishops held. Koclfs punt was partially blocked, and taken by the Tigers on the 30. Davidson passed to Bucky Horton, who made a beautiful catch on the end zone to tie the score. The extra point attempt was no good. After the kickoff, the Bishops advanced to the Tiger 35 011 a pass from Lee to Ballou, but the game ended be- fore the Bishops could advance farther. Line-up: V. E. S. P Woodberry Pritchard .......

LEE The 'I'II'l'd'Zt'vst, as usual, holds the grid spotlight for 1944. Notre Dame has turned out another spectacular team. and Purdue, Great Lakes, Illinois, hfichigan and Ohio State are not far behind. Army, Navy and Penn are the big shots in the east but Navy seehrzvs weaker than was expected. Army has two great backfields, including Doug Kenna, Glenn Davis, Max Alinor, Dale Hall, Bobby Dobbs, and a, couple of other prospective All-Ameritahs. The South N orth C aroh'na Pre-thht and Georgia. Tech rule the roost m the South with a strong Wake Forest team supplying plenty of s'ztt-rprises. Duke and U. N . C . arch? so strong as usual, but the Blue Devils have given both Navy and N . C . Pre-thht tough fights during the past two weeks. Randolph Field is the whole show in the Southwest, as is W ash-ington U . in the far-IfVest. Some may recall the name of the Randolph Field tailback. I tts Bill Dudley, who played his college football smhe'where near Charlottes- ville, Va. Baseball The St. Louis Browns, by a margin of one game over Trout and N ew- houser, ah'as the Detroit Tigers, met the St. Louis Cards in. a. 'tstreet-car world series. The Brownies possessed. the hght but lacked the batting punch to down the more well rounded Cardinals who took the series, four games to two.
