Washington, D. C.

ALUMNI LIFE has rolled along in a groove in Washington since the fine party at the home of Dr. Douglas Vanderhoof '01, in Richmond. This year, as noted before, President Hopkins, looking in splendid health after his Florida vacation and Bean Neidlinger, hot from delivering an address to the convention of college deans at Roanoke, Va., were with us to enjoy Dr. V.'s hospitality.

Who would believe you could get two full teams of softball players out of bed to play a 9:30 game on a Sunday morning? The class of 1933 which has a big delegation in Washington challenged the other classes to make up a team, and the game was played on the field of Friends Select School, where Bob Lyle '29 coaches and teaches. The "other" team, representing classes of fairly recent date and also going back to 1910, won by a score of 25 to 13, the spins and curves of Larry Reeves '33 not fooling them at all. The only casualty was Page Worthington '33, who tripped over the first baseman's foot while making the old college try to beat out an infield hit. After the game the winning team was presented with tin cups decorated with green ribbons and both sides repaired to a spot for cooling beer.

The surprise of this game was Howland Sargeant '32, Oxford graduate, who has not been known in these parts as an athlete, but who did some fancy fielding in center and hit one of the longest home runs ever seen in these parts.

The latest new comer to Washington is Jim Sullivan '34, who is working with the Civil Service Commission.

The Washington Alumni Lunch Club will be active all summer at the Annapolis Hotel, Tuesdays at 12:30. Come and see us.
