On last Saturday night the S. M. A.
boxing team lost its South Atlantic Title
to A. M. A. in the Memorial gym at
Charlottesville, after having placed three
men in the finals. Augusta won with
sixteen points, Oak Ridge Institute of
Norrii Carolina took second with thirteen
points, Staunton tied with Bellefonte
Academy of Pennsylvania for third
with eleven points, and Greenbrier M. S.
trailed with five.
The preliminaries were held on Friday
night, March 7. Morse, DuBell and
Kable won decisions over their opponents and gained the finals. Freddy and
Johnny Meyer lost on decisions while
Kight and Smith were knocked out. The
Roller boys placed four men in the finals,
Oak Ridge and Bellfonte three apiece
and a lone Greenbrier man survived to
go on and win the light heavyweight
championship.
A good crowd turned out for the
finals, including the S. M. A. Band, a
number of others who followed the
team, and a host of Augusta supporters.
The old-time rivalry between Staunton
and Augusta was manifested and three
Kable scrappers were paired against
three of the Roller boys.
In the opening bout of the evening
"Shorty" Morse, stellar S. M. A. 1T5
pounder, was victorious in a four round
struggle over Davilla of A. M. A.

knocked the Kableite out with a vicious

A Blue and Gold representative did
not enter the ring again until the final
bout when Kable crawled through the
ropes to face Kopps upon whom Augusta pinned her hope for the title. The
first three rounds were insufficient to
decide the best man and the judges
ordered an extra round. In the opening
of the fourth round, Kable was groggy.
Immediately thereafter Kable hit the
canvass for 7 counts. Groggy on his feet,
he was dropped again for four. As
Kable struggled to his feet Kopps landed
a left jab and Kable was obviously out
on his feet. The referee stopped the
On January 10, 1930, the S. M. A.
basketball team opened the current season with the Virginia freshman and
Draper Y. M. C. A. on consecutive
nights.
Both of these games resulted in wins for the Kablemen. Next
they played the Fork Union five.
This game resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Cadets, but on
the succeeding night they were nosed
out by the powerful John Marshall High
Cagers, of Richmond. Kemske pulled
the last-minute hero stunt at Lewisburg
and bagged the Greenbrier M. S. game
for the Blue and Gold by scoring five
points in the last two minutes of play.
January 20, the Cadets journeyed to
Lexington, and there they easily defeated the V. M. I. frosh. This game was
originally scheduled for a home contest,
but exams at the Institute forced it to
be played at Lexington.
The Kablemen proceeded to defeat the
Washington and Lee freshmen in easy
style, and then they defeated the V. M.
I freshmen in a return contest, this time
worse than the first. The squad from
Randolph-Macon suffered a similar fate,
in which contest the Gold team had little
trouble winning. Then the crack Staunton quintet nosed out the clever Woodberry Forest aggregation in a close contest, 22 to 20. The following afternoon
the Emerson Institute five of Washington, D. C, arrived unexpectedly, due to
a mixup in schedules, and were likewise defeated in a very close game. For
three consecutive days more the S. M.
A. quint played, winning two out of
three contests. Business High of the
same city went down to defeat closely

First Call For Baseball
Sounded by Coach Dey
Anyone who has visited the gymnasium, has seen the ambitious squad of
pitchers and catchers working out in a
promising manner. So far only the batteries have been called into action, but
as soon as the weather permits the first
call for the fielders will be sounded. At
the present time there has only been one
day that it was possible for them to
work outside. The diamond has been
completed and the base lines have been
all marked out.
There are nine pitchers and four
catchers who are working out under
the watchful eye of Coach Dey and Lt.
Gould. This material should provide a
strong nucleus for the 1930 team—as
the season opens on March 31 with the
Washington and Lee freshman.
Lt Gould has been rounding the pitchers in to shape rapidy in receiving their
offerings.
SPRING FOOTBALL
SCHOOL ANNUAL IS
RECED7ING MUCH TIME:
SOON READY FOR PRESS
The work on the annual, The Blue and
Gold, has been rapidly progressing under
the direction of Fletcher T. Scott, the
editor-in-chief.
The annual this year promises to be
one of the best, if not the best, ever put.
out in the history of the school. It may
be remembered that last year the Blue
and Gold won first place for the best
annual in the Southern Interscholastic
Press Association competition. The staff
has been working hard and it is believed that the annual will soon be ready
for the press.
During the past few weeks all seniors
have had their pictures taken and work
has already begun on the cuts. As in
the past year, the Juniors will have their
pictures in the Blue and Gold also. All
those in that class who desire to have
their pictures in the annual, are asked
to have their pictures taken immediately
so as to avoid any delay in sending the
book to press.
There will also be group pictures of
the following: the Battalion, all the companies, company officers, Honor Committees, KABLEGRAM staff, Dramatic Club,
Blue and Gold staff, varsity athletic
teams, Monogram Club, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Cotillion Club and
many others.
The Blue and Gold will probably be
ready for distribution toward the end of
May. All cadets who have not as yet
secured money for an annual, and desire
one, had better do so immediately as all
orders must be in within a short time.
PRACTICE TO BEGIN
>asketball Scores
IN NEXT FEW DAYS
Head Coach Frank L. Summers has
arranged to begin spring football practice immediately following the return
trip of the basketball squad from Philadelphia. The first grid drill will probably be held sometime during the following week.
By commencing practice for spring
football now, Coach Summers hopes to
acquaint his players with the signals and
some of the new plays that will be used
in the coming football season. The
spring workouts will serve to condition
the players and thus make it easier to
reach top-notch form in the regular play(Continued on Page Three)

On Monday, March the third, an order
was published concerning the merit
leaves for the month of February. During the past month only one hundred and
seventy three awards were made which
is considerably less than the preceeding
month. As a whole the conduct record
for the month of February was very
good and the corps is to be commended
for their fine showing.
The merit leave may be taken on any
school night providing the cadet is entitled to an academic decoration. If
such is not the case the leave may be
taken any afternoon or on a Sunday
night. Any cadet taking this leave at
night is granted eleven o'clock leave.
The following men went through the
month of February without a single report being entered against them and are

been left out and new ones substituted.
This year, contrary to previous customs, there will be no faculty Hall of
Fame. This has been done mainly, due
to the fact that the Hall of Fame should
consist of cadets only.

Choir Presents Many Enjoyable
Numbers; Miss Korb is
Fine Soloist
On Wednesday evening, March fifth,
the entire corps had the opportunity of
hearing the Boston Male Choir. Their
program was the most delightful that
has been presented here this year. In addition to the entire student body, many
people from Staunton were present in
order to enjoy the wonderful program
given by this group of singers. Many
of the old boys on the "Hill" who remember hearing the choir last year will
readily agree that this year's presentation was as interesting if not more so
than last year's program.
The entire choir, consisting of twelve
marvelous singers, rendered many beautiful selections.' Also at many different
occasions the choir sang encores due to
the hearty applause of the audience.
During the course of the evening Mr.
Boardman, the choir pianist, played two
delightful selections.
The main interest of the evening seemed to center upon Miss May Korb, soprano soloist. Miss Korb, accompanied
by Mr. Boardman at the piano, rendered many numbers. The wonderful quality of her voice was shown in these
solos. Miss Korb with Mr. Henry, also
gave a selection sung entirely in Italian
and as an encore they sang an amusing
old English ballad. The charming personality of Miss Korb was most pleasing
to all those who were present.
One of the numerous added attractions was the singing'of the famous old
Southern number, "Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot." This selection was given at
the request of one of the S. M. A.
faculty.
The enjoyable program was brought
to a conclusion with Miss May Korb
and the entire choir singing "The Beautiful Blue Danube" with an encore of
"The Italian Street Song."
the famous Hotel Excelsior at the Lido
on the Adriatic. Bathing and dancing
may be enjoyed here. Florence, with all
its famous art galleries will be visited,
and from there a trip to Fiesole, the
famous Italian mountain resort. Rome,
the eternal city, with its artistic wonders
is given considerable time, for the members of the tour will see many of these
including the Vatican, the Forum, the
Collosseum, and most of the famous
churches. Thence to Genoa, birth-place
of Columbus, and on to Nice, with a
sightseeing trip by automobile over the
Grand Cornish Drive, which was built
by Napolean Bonaparte in his campaign
against Italy.
The road descends through Mcntonne,
through the principality of Monacco,
where the party will visit Monte Carlo
Casino and have an opportunity to inspect the various wheels and gaming
tables, and then to Barcelona, the gay
commercial center of Spain.
From Barcelona an all day excursion
to Montserrat, the famous Spanish resort. Next to Madrid, the capital of
Spain and the center of all Spanish life
and activity. The museum will be inspected among other interesting places
in the city.
The partv then travels through the
picturesque Basque country to Toulouse,
in Southern France, where independent
sightseeing and shopping may be enjoyed. Lastly to Paris to spend four full
days of sightseeing and recreation, at
the end of which time connections are
made at Cherbourg, on the Leviathan,
for New York, due to arrive on July
thirtieth. Everything is being done to
make the tour one of inestimable educational value, and at the same time a
thoroughly delightful trip. The dates,
June 11th to July 30th are sufficiently
early to give the cadet approximately
six weeks at home before the next school
year. Any further information may be
obtained from Lieutenant Gould in the
Band Barracks.
We are not made of wood or stone,

Season With Six Wins
And Only One Defeat
On February first, the Staunton sluggers fought the Blackstone M. A. boxing
team, in which the local fighters came out
on top of a 6 to 1 score. The matches
produced a very colorful and interesting
evening.
Every member of the team won with
the exception of Madden who was substituting for "Shorty" Morse. This was
his first fight under the Blue and Gold
colors and he put up a very creditable
performance. There were no knockouts
during the meet but Dubell and Meyer
had their men on the ragged edge several times.
The welterweights and
heavy weight were forfeited to Johnny
Meyer and Kable respectively.
The
Kight-Crow and the Smith, R. K.-Price
fights were the most outstanding of the
evening. Both of them went four rounds
of hard clean scrapping with both Staunton men winning the decision.

BASKETBALL AND BOXING
(Continued From Page One)
•ever, the Virginia Yearlings turned the
tables and repelled the driving attack
of the local cagers in a close, exciting
game. This defeat made the second
loss of the Blue and Gold squad. Dingwall and Lincweaver pulled the Danville
game out of the fire by sinking a foul
shot apiece in the last minute of play.
The Kablemen went to Alexandria, and
there Episcopal High of that city was
easeily humbled.
The last game of real importance at
home was the Massanutten-S. M. A. contest for the Virginia prep school basketball championship, in which the Staunton lads were defeated 52 to 40. It was
most disheartening to see all the highcherished hopes of the state court laurels
ground into the earth. The Massanutten
squad was well drilled in all the fundamentals of the game, and they possessed
a wonderful pair of flashy forwards in
McCracken and Flinniken. Nevertheless, the contest is over now, and too
much praise cannot be given to the
stout-hearted Kablemen who fought so
desperately to overcome the now champions lead.
In a return contest the local lads again
defeated the Fishburne basketeers. During the contest Captain Summers used
the stalling game for the only time of
the season.

At a rifle meet held at Kemper Military Academy last month, over one hundred and twenty marksmen competed.
This was the first invitation rifle meet
ever held in Missouri, and it proved a
great success. Twenty teams from three
states gathered at the Kemper gallery
and competed for various prizes. The
riffle team from the University of Iowa
won first place, while a Kemper man
won highest individual honors by shooting fifteen straight bulls.
CAPT. TAYLOR'S MEN
(Continued From Page One)
A haid-hitting Staunton boxing team
captained by Fred Meyer and coached by
Captain Joseph Taylor, closed a successful season last Saturday when the Kable
leather punchers finished in a tie for
third place in the U. of Virginia's invitation tournament. Previous to this the
mittmen had won six matches and lost
only one, to the Navy Plebes.
The season was opened in an auspicious manner by a 7 to 0 victory over the
V. M. I. Freshmen on January sixth in
the Kable gym. Six lettermen from last
year disposed of their opponents in a
handy way, and Shorty Morse gave
promise of being a worthy successor to
Zoeller in the fly weight class.
The following week the Virginia
Frosh boxers were conquered in a thrilling manner by four bouts to their three.
The match was not decided until the
heavyweights had gone an extra round
and Kable had covered himself with
glory by out-boxing the Collegian in the
fourth round. It was at this time that
the Gold team lost the services of
Perini, veteran middleweight, and Kight
was recruited to carry on in his place.
The new man made his ring debut by
knocking out his opponent in the Greenbrier match in Lewisburg. which S. M.
A. won handily 6 to 1.
Washington and Lee freshmen next
provided the opposition and were trounced 5 to 2 in a slugging bee which resulted in four knockouts. With four
scalps under their belts the Kableites
looked forward with high hopes to the
encounter with the Navy plebes. The
victory over W. and L. was tempered
by the loss of Paul, star light heavyweight and State champion for the year
1929 season. A fall through the ropes
injured his shoulder and he was out for
the remainder of the campaign.
On Washington's birthday the boxers
journeyed to Annapolis with Smith, R.
K. to fight light-heavy. They went down
to defeat by a score of 5 to 2 before
the strapping Middie team. Slugging
marked the match, four knockouts being
scored, two apiece for the Middies and
the cadets.
On March first, Blackstone Military
Academy brought a green team to Staunton and met defeat at the hands of the
Kable veterans. The Blackstone cadets
surprised us with their ability to take
punishment.
Last Friday and Saturday the team
lost its State title in a thrilling tournament that was not decided until the final
bout. A total of eleven points, a first
and two seconds gave them a tie for
third place.
Captain Taylor and every man of the
squad is to be congratulated for a fine
season and a "never-say-die" fighting
spirit that is symbolic of Staunton
teams.

The same Navy Plebe team which

orgy of knockouts, defeated the Culver

if they prove anything, it looks a though

John Marshall won the high school
cup the same day while Massanutten
won the prep school tournament championship from Fork Union M. A.
It will be remembered that John Marshall nosed out the S. M. A. cagers
early in the season and every one easily
recalls the hope-crashing game with
Massanutten.

Last Friday the S. M. A. basketball
team went into action in the University
of Pennsylvania Interscholastic Basketball Tournament after having drawn two
byes to pair with Hun School of Princeton, New Jersey, in the semi-finals and
came out on the short end of a score
of 43-35. Hun School won the title by
defeating the Manlius School of New
York by 31-29.
The Hun team was faster and held
the lead throughout most of the game.
Sanford starred for the winners, scoring sixteen points. Kemske chalked up
twelve markers for the Gold team, and
Smith, along with his masterful guarding, managed to locate the basket for
two field goals and three foul shots for
a total of seven points.
Virginia's other representative in the
tourney, Massanutten Military Academy,
State champions, and winner of the
Washington and Lee Tournament, was
eliminated in the first round by McKenzie School of New York, by a
margin of one point. McKenzie was
beaten in the semi-finals by Manlius.
Together with Coach Summers and
Manager Cranford, the following players made the trip: Griffith, Lineweaver,
Minot, Smith, R. M., Dingwall, McAninch, Lee, Kemske, and Chapman.
A previous start to play Brevard was
halted in Washington, when the team
was intercepted with the news that
Brevard had forfeited.

On Monday, March the tenth, first call
for track practice was sounded by Coach
Summers. Quite a few candidates turned out though there was no actual practice. Captain Summers devoted most of
the afternoon to issuing uniforms and
giving out instructions and other minor
incidentals. Due to the departure of Lt.
"Charlie" Edwards, Captain Summers
has taken up the duties of track coach
and has but three letter men as nucleus,
for this years team. A great deal of
promising material has turned out, and it
is believed that with the aid of these
letter men, Coach Summers will be capable of building up a team, worthy to
carry the S. M. A. colors.
The letter men who have returned
this year are, Kolb, B. A.; Whitton;
and Fierabend. Cadet Lawrence, manager of last year's squad, will again assume the same position for this year.
The 1930 schedule is by no means a
easy one and the team will have to put
forth its best efforts if it intends to win
