Page 14 . RESERVE RECORD October 5, 1944 Soccer Team Meets Oberlin Marines Friday The varsity soccer team will open its four-game schedule tomorrow against the Oberlin Marine Detachment at Oberlin. With only two returning lettermen, Cock- ley at half and Ruedemann at fullback, the Green and White will be starting with an inexperienced eleven. Spooner and Siddall, lettermen from last year's team. will not be playing because of injurv and a change to football respectively. Thus the front line has undergone a complete change. On the line with game experience is Pete Fletcher and Ben Stoltzfus, who comes to us from Syria where soccer is a national sport. The probable lineup against the Marine trainees will be: Pierce and Garrigan at wings, Fletcher and Critchfield at the in- side spots, Stoltzfus will hold down the cen- ter forward place, Phillips, Cockley and Young filling the halfback positions, Ruede- mann and Reviere at fullback and Collins in the goal. ,-1.-.igi first league Game Ends in I4-I4 Deadlockp Austen Stars The initial game in league football was played Monday. Teams A and B under coaches Scibby and Pflaum played their first game on the upper field to a 14-14 deadlock. The first score of the game was made by the B eleven on an intercepted pass. A quick retaliation to this sudden setback was made by the A squad when Frank Austen tossed a beautiful pass to Dave Hobart, who in turn raced into the end zone. Hobart also made the extra point. In the second half the A team took the lead when Ramsayer intercepted a pass and weaved down the field for another six- pointer. With a quick opening play off tackle the A's put the extra point over. Later, in the fourth period, the B team started to roll. They pushed their way to another touchdown by virtue of their quick run backs. The score was tied at 14-14 when they crashed through center for their second extra counter. The A eleven had the ball on the enemy's 30-yard line when the final whistle blew.

The Green and White gridders had held a good lead over their opponents throughout the length of the game, but the Red and White of Kent were gaining fast and furiously until Bob Joslyn intercepted their last attempted pass and went for six points, setting the final score at 24-14 in the favor of Reserve. Immediately upon receiving the kickoff Kent fumbled and Reserve recovered the ball. Jim Timmis smacked the opponents right off with a flat pass to Hott who went for ten yards. However, the mo- mentary rush was halted, and the ball went to Roosevelt on downs. They tried to run our line, but the weight of Pablo, Dennett, Howard and Brewer soon killed all hopes. Upon their fourth down Kent tried to kick. Pablo Brett, Center The kicker was swamped by rushers averag- ing something like 185 pounds with the result that Reserve recovered for a safety and two points. After a few more minutes of play the situation found Reserve on their own forty- nine yard line, third down and seventeen to go. Jos, kicking for Reserve this year, placed one sweetly upon the opponent's two- yard stripe, where it rolled out of bounds. Once again the Kent Roosevelt team tried to kick out, and once again Reserve swamped the kicker and recovered the ball for a safety. Still in the first quarter Jos scored again when he lugged the apple from the Roose- velt forty-five to their three-yard line and then easily pushed it over. Jim Roush neatly placed the ball between the posts, but it was called back on an offside pen- alty, whereupon Jimmy did it again. The score stood at the end of the first quarter: Reserve 11, Kent Roosevelt 0. The second quarter seemed to be well provided with penalties and fumbling. In fact nobody could be sure of any play until the next one had started. Reserve's second touchdown came midway in the second quarter when Roush cut loose by carrying the ball to the enemy nine-yard stripe. Doc Timmis furthered it to the six' with Jimmy Roush taking it over for six more tallies. Jimmy repeated his booting to raise the score to 18. Kent still could find no holes in our defense until they tried passing. Then a quick one in the Hat went for six points for the Red and White with the extra point being carried over. As the half ended the score stood at 18-7 in the Green and White's favor. Kent came out with renewed enthusiasm, the result that a quick triple-relay in the beginning of the third quarter them six more points. Once again ran the extra one over. With the with pass gave they score 18-14 and no sign of activity from the home team for the past two quarters, spectators on the sides were becoming considerably worried. The third quarter continued without serious threat by either team. Finally, with three minutes left to play in the game, the opponents were fight- ing for their skins. A series of passes had netted them considerable territory. Con- sequently they threw one too- many. Jos- lyn, having had three quarters to figure it out, suddenly came tearing through one of their passes, snagged it neatly, and took off for sixty-five yards and a touchdown. The point was missed this time, and the game ended soon thereafter. The score remained 24 for Reserve to 14 for Kent Roosevelt. i Laurie Dennett, Tackle

October 5, 1944 RESERVE RECORD Page 13 I-lomer Cleary Not only has Reserve decided that the new masters are all nice fellows, but one also notices the variety of their sorts. Homer Cleary has entered the ranks of those who definitely have a good sense of humor. Mr. Cleary, whose picture adorns this page, has actually taken a good-sized share of what the world has to offer. Be- sides teaching Spanish I and II, he takes M r. Homer Cleary interest in books, languages, music, and practically anything connected with the theater. The musical part is of special in- terest to those who have discovered his ability at playing the piano. An alumnus of University School, Mr. Cleary was born in Marion, Ohio, where he attended grade school. After graduat- ing from Dartmouth, he spent a year at the Sorbonne in Paris and traveled ex- tensively in Europe and North Africa. Later he returned to Paris to study and afterwards spent a summer in Spain and Italy. He also attended the graduate school of Western Reserve University. Mr. Cleary has taught at both University School and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. At both of these he worked along the lines of his interest in the theatre by directing dramatics. Although Mr. Cleary has followed other lines than teaching, he has been loyal for most of his years to his college decision to honor the academic life. Brother of Mrs. Eilbeck Dies The school regrets to report the death of Mr. Charles Bechtel, brother of Mrs. Eilbeck, the school librarian. Mr. Bech- tel was associated with the Budd Company of Philadelphia. He died at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Eilbeck attended the burial at Philadelphia last Saturday. LUITHDUT RESERVE On Shaving and Shavers It has been generally proved that there are four great adolescent sports: football, basketball, baseball and shaving. Some experts class shaving as a hobby or pas- time, but Dr. James C. Rothingbottom, B. S. A. fBoy Scouts of Americaj, my refer- ence, once said, I like bananas 'cause they ain't got no bones, which doesn't prove much about shaving, and personally I can't see why he said it. Shavers have often been classified. A man in Sydney, Australia, Prof. L. X. Arpinghammel, N. B. C. fNational Biscuit Co.J, made shavers his life study. He had a very unhappy home life and was forced to retire. His wife, unhappy soul, sued for divorce when he cut off his nose proving that the Turks did shave with their battle- axes on horseback. This, of course, was an extreme case. Records of the modern Turk show that not more than 4154 'Z are nose- less. Modern shavers with nicotine nerves sometimes acquire that scrubbing-board or terrace-form face. Look around you!! The most common type of shaver at Re- serve is the Zealous Novice. To become a true member, one must shave from four to forty times a day. Upon arising in the morning, a Z. N. rubs his chin thought- fully and asks his roommate, Don't you think I look terrible with this growth? And then without waiting for an answer, I'll just simply have to shave. Unless you are six three and weigh two hundred, I heartily advise keeping the trap shut, for nothing in the comic strips or on the din- ing room bulletin board could do a better job of turning a 97-pound weakling into a homicidal maniac than a slighting' word to a novice about his beard. The actual shaving by a novice is just because he heard someone say that the more one shaves, the more one's beard grows to resemble Spooner's. A Z. N.'s kit consists of a double-sized tube of cream and a glass of sand. He puts a two-inch coating of cream over his face to hide the bogus whiskers, and takes a mouthful of sand. As he slides the bladeless razor over his face, he grinds the sand between his teeth and ejaculates, Gad, but they're tough. Oh . . . ah . . . oh! After shav- ing, he informs all his friends that he shaved. Don't you think I look better?- It's such a nuisance! With a beard like mine . . . In every group there is a non-shaver, more commonly referred to by people who know their shavers best as the My Razor's Broke or I Just Can't Find Time type. For months and months a M. R.'s B. will cuddle his little hairs. His visions are those of tugging thoughtfully at his Van Dyke in math class, or if giving his handle- bar one more jerk before making up his mind in Saywel1's. Ah yes, but the best he can do is tickle his fuzz. 'Tiz a cruel woild. News From University School The U. S. football schedule runs as fol- lows: Parma, Willoughby, Shaker, Parma, Berea, Cranbrook and Reserve. From all that we hear, they have a pretty tough team with the whole first-string and two second-string backfield men returning. U. S. beat Parma, 6-0, last Saturday. The soccer team has scheduled six games, two with Nichols, two with Oberlin and two with Reserve. 1 Mr. Clayton Beaver is the new swimming coach there, he will also assist in football. U. S. now has its largest enrollment in many years, 440 boys. P R I N T E R S 22I2-I8 Superior Ave. 0 MAin 2091 0 Cleveland, 0. K ezoimnicricricriiarznniexnriaqaslziaxz' !

YYOADEYSR VOLUME XX'-Ne 5 ' Hunson. omo, ocrossn iz, 1944 Dewey Wins Election Carrying 75 0 Ol Student Body in Recent Poll Students Choose General Patton, MacArthur and Eisenhower as Favorite Generulsp Hitler Expected to Flee Germany: Reserve Will Defend Peace War Chest Quota Set to Meet lust Yeur's Goal The War Chest this year in Western Reserve Academy has set a goal of at least as much as the amount last year. The committee, composed of Mr. Tilt and Mr. Simon with Mr. Culver as chairman, assisted by Sandy MacDonne1l, Tom All- chin and Bill Linforth, have already made plans for the drive here in the school which begins on Tuesday of next week. Their main aim is to beat the amount received in last year's drive, a total of S186031. Unlike last year, the drive this year will not include work pledges, mainly because of the small amount received last year and because of the fact that most of the stu- dents didn't have time to finish out the work pledges last year. All the pledges this year are to be paid either in cash or by check. The pledges also may be paid in part or in full at the initial collection. The money went to twelve different agencies last year. They were: Akron War Chest, 5159005 Cleveland, 252,505 War Prison- er's Aid, S1003 P. T. A., S255 Boy Scouts, S303 Girl Scouts, S303 Churches, S755 Youth Hostel, S155 March of Dimes fHudsonl, 35253 World Student Service Fund, S255 Red Cross Drive, 250: Save the Children Federation, 560, making a total paid out of 51785.00 The balance is held on campus for any emergency that might arise in the course of the year. This year the need is bound to be greater. Qcontinued on Page 2, Column 33 In the recent military and political poll conducted at Reserve for the purpose of finding the students' views on the coming election and the war, Thomas E. Dewey was the choice for president and Generals Patton and MacArthur were the favorite military leaders. When all votes had been received, Gov. Dewey was favored above President Roose- velt by nearly 75722 of the entire school. President Roosevelt carried 2O'7b of the student body and the remaining 5711 were unwilling to cast their votes either way. General Ike Eisenhower was not far behind Generals Patton and MacArthur in the poll. In a close third place was Gen- eral Montgomery, followed by Generals Marshal, Bradley, Patch, Wainwright, Doo- little and Clark. - Nearly 5096 of the school would have nominated Gov. Dewey to run on the Re- publican ticket. Thirty per cent would have chosen Gov. Bricker, 15'Z2 would have chosen the late Mr. Willkie and the re- maining 596 were cast for Comm, Stassen. Of the Democratic ballots only 4071 fa- vored President Roosevelt. Mr. Barkley and Mr. Truman had an equal amount of votes totaling 50'Z:. The remaining votes were cast for Vice President Wallace. After the war 93 'Zi of the students would be willing to endorse the United States' joining a League of Nations and would be willing, if necessary, to enforce its doc- trines. For the period after the war nearly 7576 of the school chose private owned utilities which includes water, gas, and electric companies. Practically everyone thought that Adolf Hitler would flee to Argentina, Sweden or some other neutral country. Some' believed he would be killed by some of his own peo- ple. Others were of the opinion he would commit suicide before he would surrender to the Allies, still others believe he will be taken prisoner when the Allies finally reach the heart of Germany. 1 It proved difficult to prophecy when the European war will end. Mr. Churchill himself said it would end by September 31. Others have said it will continue for a year or more. The general belief at Reserve' is that it will end this year. The date which has been set for the end of Germany is December 25. With respect to the war in the Pacific no one believes its climax will be reached before the end of next year. No one, however, thinks it will continue for more than one more year.
