Ponce Tramples Jackson 43-26

The hard-fighting Cavalier cage team made it two straight over the forces of Andrew Jackson Monday night as they rode to an overwhelming victory of 43-26. Bill Byrd and Bob Price did the high scoring honors of the contest, as they alone outscored the Jackson squad. Byrd tossed in seven field goals and two free throws for a total of 16 points, while Price contented himself with three field goals and six free throws for 12 personal tallies. At the start, it appeared as if it were to be an off night for the boys from Ponce, as they quickly went behind, 4-0. As late as the middle of the second quarter, they were still trailing 17-9. Then came a splurge of eight quick points and the scoreboard at the half time read 17-17. In the third period the Cavaliers put on a scoring spree that in our minds definitely sewed the game up for Ponce. In that period we scored 17 points to their 3 and went ahead with the safe margin of 34-20 as the quarter whistled sounded. Even in the last period with the first team on the bench and the subs performing in admirable style, the Red and Black ran up 9 points to the Yellow and Green's 6. Quinones, as usual, sparkled the General's attack. Brassington followed Byrd and Price for Ponce scoring honors with seven points, while Jack Booher, only in a few minutes of the last quarter, tossed two field goals for fourth rating.

Tennis Tourney Nears End

Students at the U and Miami tennis enthusiasts will see the end Sunday of the first tennis tourney to be played on the new University courts when Gardner Mulloy plays Jack Kramer for the singles title. Mulloy entered the final round after beating "Pancho" Segura 4-6, 6-1 last Sunday. The doubles semi-finals will be played tomorrow. Mulloy and Kramer will meet Gillespie and McKee, and Segura and Pero will play Sabin and Talbert. Favorite of the fans in the tournament was peppy Francisco "Pancho" Segura from down South America way. "Pancho", whose dormitory room is decorated with trophies received both in North and South America: was one of the outstanding players in the battle for the singles titles, and was leading the pack until he lost to Mulloy, Sunday in the semi-finals. At present, the fellow from Ecuador is a freshman at the U. It was fitting that Mulloy was the one who beat him for it was out of admiration for the coach that "Pancho" came to this school. Yes, he's one of America's most promising amateur tennis stars, but he's worried about History 101 just like the rest of us.

SOUTH FLORIDA GARDEN CLUB MEETS

U-TALK By BARBARA BROWNE

Groans and grumbles echo from the newly painted walls of the University as exams rear their ugly heads. Gloom is everywhere as students moan, "I wish I'd studied harder. How will I ever pass that zoology test?" A few of them take the honest-"who cares, what is to be is to be" and cease to worry. Paul Washburn says that he always plays bridge between tests because it calms his nerves. Well, everyone to his own method. On the brighter side of life is the advance news of the Winter Institute of Literature. The Institute seems to be the highlight of intellectual life at the U, and both students and professors are filling gaps in conversation with talk about the speakers. Scheduler for this season are John Gould Fletcher, modern poet; Jonathan Daniels, journalist and member of Fortune editorial staff; Harry Hansen, literary editor of the New York World-Telegram; Roark Bradford, author of "Green Pastures"; and Mary Rose Bradford, well known children's writer. Students Prepare for Institute English Honors Society is preparing for the Institute by ordering books written by the speakers to be sold in the lobby during the lectures. Lorraine Corsiglia, newly elected secretary-treasurer, will handle this work assisted by Barbara Curran, Bella Sabshin, and Frank Henderson. Hostess pins are being made by Alma Jane Lindgren, Caroline Dodd, Janet Seerth, Irene Cгopp, Evalyn Daniel, and Carol Montgomery. Heading the defense news list is the receipt of the one-day Red Cross War Relief drive which collected $55. The First Aid classes were so popular that all the classes have been filled. There will not any waiting until this ten weeks training period is finished, at which time another course will be offered. New Hibiscus Named for Hero The late Captain Colin Kelly has received another honor. Student Eugene Ketchen, who has developed a new hibiscus, is naming his plant after the flying hero who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor. "Is there an honest man in the house?" is the question students are asking each other in the library. The question was prompted by a letter received by the student publication in which the writer, Klopp, stated his search for a person—very honest—who would make long distance bets for him. Klopp, who is in Washington, will supply the money and betting information. The letter started the whole school laughing, and as yet no person has applied for the job.

44 Ponce Boys Now Men In Service Of Their Country

Ponce de Leon students and alumni have 44 good reasons for feeling proud of their school and fellow students. That number 44 represents the number of Ponce graduates who have offered their services to their country. And three of these 44 men are the first to be inscribed on the Ponce de Leon Honor Roll of service, of these, one has given his life in the defense of his country, William Lee Payne. The following list contains all the names obtained to date. If you know of any former Ponceite whose name has been omitted, please let us know. In the Navy Air Corps we have Lts. David and Paul Andre, and Cadet Robert J. Shelley. In the army, W. H Crockett, Bobby Crockett, Serveant R. M. Kenney and Tucker Thompson are all doing their part along with the former faculty members, Matha Ruggles and Caryl Bailey. In the navy, Ponce is well represented by Ralph Atkins, Morton Adams, Merrill Cates, O. L.

Letters From Abroad Tell Of Morale

Like intriguing plays unfolding before one are the letters that Terry Roberts receives from abroad. Terry has been communicating for over two years with people from England, Ireland and Jamaica, whose names and addresses she picked up over a ham radio set. She has learned through the letters the meaning of the war and the morale of the people involved better than she could through any headlines. Determined to Win The following excerpts taken from the letters show clearly the feeling of the people in regard to their's and our position in the war. From a letter written in June, 1940: "Paris is lost and France seems to be in danger. . . but, English people are determined to see this through to the bitter end ... if it is God's will we will win and for the life-blood of all nations and all civilization. Thousands of young men (and, indeed, women and children, too) have sacrificed their lives in defense of this cause and in all probability thousands more will have to do the same, but make no mistake, we are determined to win at all costs, and win we shall with the help of God, and the courage and determination of individual allied nations." August, 1940: "The American politicians, and especially the isolationists, must realize that in this war Great Britain—and especially the British Navy—are fighting to protect America's front door, and thus aid to Britain also means the defense of America." From, Ireland From an English pen friend, an actor, journalist, a furniture manufacturer and very adept at writing clever letters: "I don't like using strong language to a young lady, but it (the war) is a curse. You have no idea how much it has upset us even here in neutral Eire. You see, my father is a furniture manufacturer, and I work for him. We get all our timber from Poland—and well, you know what happened to Poland. I am studying journalism in my spare time and the poor journalists must face the fact; Paper is very scarce and then the censors limits the news . . . I am joining the national army. We are in grave danger of invasion here in Eire and so we have got to prepare . . . I sincerely hope you will not be involved in this war—and say a prayer that we won't be invaded." Briton Expresses Appreciation From an English boy, Jan., 1941: "In this turmoil, we do not forget, or ever will forget, the great help that you, the Americans are giving us. It is comforting and reassuring to know that on the other side of the Atlantic is a great democracy, like our own, which lives and things we love: freedom, free thought, learning and humanity; and hates the things we hate: persecution, sadistical cruelty, wanton destruction, and aggression. Only one of our newspapers said only the other day, 'When President Roosevelt opens his mouth the Atlantic becomes smaller'. He makes us feel closer to one another, like two nations bound to one cause: the liberation of humanity. And may I say to you now, as Briton to America, a heartfelt 'thank you' for the things you have done and are doing for us in Britain."

LESSON-SERMON ANNOUNCED

"Truth" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which will be read in Churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world on Sunday, January 25. The Golden Text is: "God shall send forth his mercy and his truth" (Psalms 57:3). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, . . Which is coming unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day you heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth: (Col. 1:3, 5 . . . 6).

Recuperating

Bill Hart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold S. Hart of 2802 Columbus Boulevard, is now home recuperating from a recent operation. Bill has been away since September 1940, working as subresident and assistant resident engineer on defense projects in Mississippi and Tennessee.

Governor's Cup Winner

A Coral Gables owned horse, Tomochichi, owned by Bill Huntley and Jacob Sher, recently captured the Governor's Cup race, which featured the closing day program of the first half of the Tropical Park meeting. Tomochichi is one of three famous horses owned by Huntley and Sher. King's Blue last year was a sensation here around the country during the and scored many victories summer. The other horse is Sargeant Bill which recently scored an upset win at Hialeah Park. Both Tomochichi and Sargeant Bill have been entered in the Flamingo and Widener Stakes at Hialeah Park this year, while both of them will be entered in the coming Kentucky Derby. And if Bill Huntley has his say about it, Sargeant Bill will be the Kentucky Derby winner of 1942. The picture shown above is Tomochichi with Jockey Atkinson up.
