although the Pre-Flighters manag
ed to add six more points to their
total in a wild scramble in the
closing minutes of the game.
Bainbridge got away to an early
lead in the first period when Hilli
ard Cheatham, formerly of Au
burn, passed 14 yards to A1 Vande
weche. Harvey Johnson, William
and Mary star, added the point.
Starting the second period, Char
lie Justice, the Asheville, N. C.,
high school speed merchant, took
a shovel pass from Lester Gate
wood of Georgia and swept end
for 47 yards to the Cloudbuster 26,
from where Joe Michael of Penh
passed to Charlie Mehelich for the
touchdown.
After that Bainbridge offensive
thrust, the Cloudbusters sudden
ly found themselves and rolled up
two quick scores to go ahead. Otto
Graham passed 38 yards to Leway
on the Bainbridge 42 and the fleet
back traveled the rest of the way
untouched. Less than a minute
later, Bill Wilson picked up Hip
pity Hopp’s fumble on the 35 and
scooted across. Buell St. John
kicked both extra points.
Late in the final stanza, Char
lie Kalbacher plunged over from
the four to end the scoring for
both teams and give Pre-Flight
its final tally. St. John missed the
point try. Johnson plunged over
from the four to climax a 46-yard
drive to get the Commodores third
touehdOWn. Cheatham passed 27
yards to Vandewecghe for the
fourth, passed 10 yards to Vande
weghe for a fifth, and Justice
swept down the sidelines for 30
yards after taking a pass from Mi

FORGET PARTY LABELS
VOTE FOR PRINCIPLES
The only Democratic thing in the party which now
carries our beloved name is the name itself, and that has
been stolen from us.
The sad truth is that WE HAVE NO NATIONAL
DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW. The New Deal which
falsely wears the Democratic label is controlled by Com
munists and “fellow-travellers”. Communism is NOT ;
democracy. The New Dealers are not Democrats and are
not worthy of our support.
We must defeat the New Deal to save the Democra
tic Party from complete destruction.
Clear the Democratic Party of its alien elements so
that True Democrats may again resume leadership.
