The famed guest of honor was introduced by "Tommy" Thomason, new "Y" executive-secretary. In a rapid fire discussion he gave a vivid picture of the 1945 and '46 games played by the Army. The toughest game was with Notre Dame, he commented, when a goose egg was tagged up by both opposing eleven. Approximately 100 boys from throughout southern Orange county had dinner in the basement hall preceding the program. The year's activities for both the youths and co-eds were outlined. Thomason greeted Davis as an old friend during the program. He coached the stalwart player who is on 30-day furlough here and now recovering from a leg operation at his home in Claremont. He attended Bonita high school and was a "Bee" team member, under Thomason. Jerry Patton, Whittier college faculty member and former YMCA director of this city, shared spotlight honors with Davis. Wearing his usual big grin, he stressed this year's theme, "World Friendship." Patton told of his recent trip to Mexico which was accented by a brilliant native costume. M.
