Tennis*
Well,at last they’ve showed up,-those rackets from Anchor
age. We haven’t had a look at then yet,but we know they’re
here. So the next thing to do is to fix it up with the Weather
Man,and see if we can get a few days that won’t call for shoe
pacs to be used for tennis shoes. By Monday next we’ll have had
a glimpse at the weapons, and then, if the Til dens and Johnsons
of the Companies want to go to it,we* 11 puc up a schedule • t
matches. What'do you say,you tennis-sharksi
BOWLING:
Only one thing stops the Bowling League from getting into
action right away.That is-we’ve got to put the alleys in shape*
Just now the Bowling Alley is a sort of a sub-station of the
Poet Library,-and the alleys themselves need a whole lot of
elbow grease and hot water,and the other accompaniments,to
get the grooves that furnish all the alibis out of them* Plans
are under way right now to get somebody busy cleaning up the
debris, so that action should be obtained before another week
goes by* Then, the League starts*.
Last year we had 5 teams in the schedule,-Headquarters Co*,
the Haines A.A.,the All-Stars,and two teams from "E” Company*
It strikes us that there’s so many men on the Post this year
that we ought to get about three teams out of each company*
Call * em,A,B,and C.teams,-or Team No.1,Team No*2,Team No*3t
we don’t care,-bit we’d suggest that you bowlers get together
in the different organisations, find out who can roll the big
pills,-distribute the artists evenly among the different teams
from each outfit,so as to give some decent competition,-and
get ready to start the season.The Athletic Officer will line
up the schedule tne first of next week,if the Companies will
line up their teams. At the end of the season,the best bowlers
from the individual teams of the separate companies will b e
grouped on one five, and can bowl against the experts of the
other organizations,for the championship of the Post* It looks
to us as though there could be three teams from ”E* Co*,-three
from Co*,at least two #rom Headquarters,one from the Q*M.
and one from the Hedicos.And that’s outside of the famous Offi
cers’ Team,and the All-Stars,not to speak of the runners-up of
last year,-the Haines A.A. How about it,you bowlers! Let’s see
some actionl!1.
BASKETBALL:
Just a$ saor* as we can get that stationary movie screen
out of the gym we'll start the hoop game •The old gym will
serve temporarily,until we can get into the new quarters in
the Post School Barracks.We’,|l make another effort this week
and see if we can’t get some action toward the removal of
said screen. It’s a hard fight,but we‘re a bear for punish
ment* So,cheer up,you basketeers,-we*11 get you started yet.
The first hundred years are the hardest,you know that.
