The Gold Bug. Western Maryland College, Wutminster, Md., January 13, 1944 PAGE THREB FROM • THE • Former Terrors Serving Uncle Sam STANDS Well-Remembered Athletes In Land And Sea Forces At Home and Abroad By Fred Holloway Backtracking for a moment, the East-West Shrine football game, played each New Year's Day in San Francisco, is made up of All-Star players chosen from over the nation, to represent their respective "halves" of the United States. In 1934, Wes- tern Maryland was honoreds by having Bill Shepherd, star halfback picked to play on the Eastern team.

And so the Terror star's ability was duly recognized when the Northern California Football Writers Associa- tion placed him as a first-string half- back on the All-time, All-star East- West grid team-a fact of which aU a;'cen and Gold football followers may well be proud . • War Affects Sports With all the upsetting of plans, general confusion, and re-arranging necessitated by the war, one often wonders what change will be made in the setup of the Terrors inter-colle- giate sports program. Two changes that will undoubtedly take place on our Hill will be the in- creased participation in activities by the students, due to a larger program of organized athletics, a direct out- come of the Army system: and sec- ond, the expansion of the staff of our Physical Education Department. The Athletic Department has al- ways been understaffed and with the ending of the war and the returning to civilian life of former directors, this department could be rounded out into a larger, more efficient group. When Charlie Havens was on the Hill, his- duties included Director of Athletics, and Head Football and Baseball Coach. With this system, it was impossible to devote sufficient at- tention to any particular duty to make the results of that duty letter perfect . • Enlarged Coaching Staff Thus, when Havens and the other athletic coaches, now on leave-of- • IN THE ARMY WITH - Bug with URAC Campaign plus the Girls' Finals absence in the services of their coun- The national sports column will return try, return to the campus, in the next issue of the Gold Aloysius ones now carrying on, the staff should Cadet Smallwood as columnist.
