ANNUAL WILLIAMS DINNER also Celebrating the 25 th Anniversary of the Williams Club NEW YORK CITY Commodore H otel 7.00 P. M. Monday evening, December 12, 1938. No event is looked forward to more eagerly by Williams alumni than the annual dinner held in New York City. Plans for this event have been quietly under way for the past few months and the committee in charge is now making its formal announcement. Past dinners have brought together alumni cover­ ing a span of 60 years and have given the older men an opportunity to keep abreast currently with what is going on in Williamstown and the younger men an opportunity to show the zeal and the enthusiasm of the younger generations. But this year there is an added attraction, for on December 12, 1913, the Williams Club of New York opened its doors at 291 Madison Avenue for the first time and during this quarter of a century has provided an attractive meet­ ing place for alumni and a vitai center-for.Williams activities in the metro­ politan area of New York. Tbercfora, the .-combination of the annual dinner and the celebration of the 2'5$h,anniversary of ihe club marks an event that no Williams man will want ter jprss. • * ■ \ The dinner will be“ an AH-Williams affair, -Math the incomparable Jack Jay as toastmaster and three -speakers, Williams alumni, whose identities have not yet been revealed. * ..*•* * . * Colonel Clark Williams-''92, the father of the club; set a beautiful example on the opening night 25„years, ago by having W his Quests for the occasion the presidents of the Yale, Haryard, and Princeton clubs of New York City.

It is likewise expected that all the past presidents of the Williams Club, except our beloved Max B. Berking ’02, now deceased, will be present. The dinner will be held at the Commodore Hotel on Monday evening, December 12. A modest charge per cover should provide little excuse on the score of cost. Let every one of us note this “ red letter” date and make plans right now to be on hand. You will not want to miss it! COMMITTEE Fred E. Linder ’12, Chairman Lester Y.

• F ootball: Over forty candidates an­ swered Coach Charlie Caldwell’s call for first practice on Monday, September 5, in preparation for the opener against Middlebury on September 24. A stiff eight-game schedule includes Princeton and winds up with Amherst on November 12 on Pratt Field. Led by Captain Larry Durrell, the squad boasts 10 lettermen and several stars from Bill Fowle’s 1941 eleven, which cap­ tured the Little Three title last year. Al­ though Fielding Simmons, the Stearns twins, Mike Latvis, and eight other veter­ ans graduated last spring, Coach Caldwell is optimistic about the team’s future. The main problem confronting the coaches this fall is finding a man to fill the gap at center left by Ted Noehren. Line Coach “ Whoops” Snively has moved Bob Herguth, a tackle on the freshman team last year, to the position, with Pete McCarthy and Dan Dunn in reserve. Brad Wood and Ted Brooks, two juniors, weighing 185 and 190 respectively, appear to have cinched the end positions, with John Abberley and Spencer Silverthorne at the tackles. Dud Head and Archie Knowlton are at present in the guard slots. This line averages over 190 pounds. In the backfield, Captain Durrell at halfback is the only man sure of a start­ ing post as things stand now. Tim King, veteran quarterback, has starred in prac­ tice with his efficient blocking and kicking, while Bob Cramer, 195-pound junior from whom Caldwell expects great things, has caused the second team plenty of trouble L a r ry D u r r e l l , Captain with his hard running.
