In pointing to the ‘great need for spiritual, mental and physical aid in West Africa,” the local eld- er said, ‘Many African areas are on the eve of self-government. They are at a crucial, formative period in their history. It is now, at this developing stage of their thinking and history that the Chris- tian message in all its power and impact should be proclaimed.” Naturally, the best way to spread Christianity in any country is to use trained nationals. This is why Adventists establish training schools wherever they work. This denomination operates near- ly 5,000 schools from elementary through graduate level.

Coach White is a stickler for} condition, and feels that where there is a limited number of candidates for key positions it can spell the difference between a re- sounding defeat or an overwhelm- ing victory. He noted that con- dition would be a potent factor in the sense that some players would alternate posittons. The Green and White will operate from the tight “T” with the major emphasis on speed, this season. Of course there will be the usual sprinkling of single wing plays for variation, however, the majority of the pay off plays should come from the ball hand- by Tiger backs in practice ses- sions.

This =|was a Miami team composed of “Juicy Hip” and Burny, catching; Johnson, pitching; Shenoway, pitching prof; Wilson second base; short-stop; Marlin Johnson, right field; Guy Morris, center field; and Chileno Perez, F| center. Many of us remember that particular series of games; es- peciall¢ when Quinto Lopez asked McGraw to let him pitch the last game. Quinto linked up with battery mate Cyril Griffin. To- gether Quinton and Cyril compos- ed the best battery combination we ever had in Key West. Quinton pitched shut-out ball against a great hitting-train. In fact, it was the first time key West ever shut-out the Miami Giants. When we speak of Quinton Lopez; we think of one who had tremen- dous speed and weighing two- hundred pounds. So rapid was his speed that it was blinding to the hitters. After having shut out the Giants in Key West, the following week 5 | Quinton went to Miami and turn- ed in another Shut-out for Key West. =| Cecil Bain, Jr., COLLEGE sTUDENTS—Two scholarship students entering college as freshmen are John™ -E.

For students who are entering for their second of further years, they are just about adjusted. For the fresh- men students, college life will be an altogether new experience. Whereas, heretofore, they have always had the guiding hands of parents and others to direct them they will now have to shift for themSelves. Very often the boy or girl enter- ing college for the first time is of- ten lured into the social whirl and study is neglected. Whenever I have the opportunity to speak to a student who is about to begin his college career, I always warn a- gainst neglecting his studies, es- pecially in his freshman year, The conscientious student will work most diligently to establish a name for himself in his freshman year. This can only be done through hard work.
