GENERALS GET FIRST SHUTOUT
OF YEAR AT HANDS OF CAVALIERS

Melrose Proves Invincible,

Allowing Blue and

White Only Three Bingles During Game on
Wilson Field Captain Folliard Pitches.

Virginia was the first team of the
season to administer a shut out game
to the Generals—the Orange and
Blue Winning 3 to 0.

Melrose, the Cavalier sophomore
sensation, was invincible on the
mound. He had things breaking his
way all afternoon, causing eight
Washington and Lee batters to go
out via the strikeout method, while
he was yielding only three hits. His
slow balls and change of pace proved
most effective.

Captain Paul Folliard hurled a
beautiful game and under normal
circumstances would have won any
game. His curves were breaking
beautifully, but it was just a case of
one of those days when even the
highest class hurling does not win.

The Generals’ captain and hurling
ace was setting the Virginians
down in one, two, three order for
five innings except on two occasions
when two hits were allowed, one in
the first and the other in the second.
He duplicated the third, fourth and
fifth innings in the eighth too. The
sixth and seventh were the fatal
chapters, two runs being scored in
the former and one in the latter.

The whole Washington and Lee
team appeared much improved over
the team that appeared here before
the Easter trip into the farther
Southland, and by the close of the
season should be one of the outstand-
ing college teams in the South as
well as the South-Atlantic area.

Virginia’s first score came in the
sixth canto when Melrose, the Cav-

alier hurler, singled between’ first‘

and second. He advanced to third
on April’s single into right, and
trotted home on a wild pitched ball.
April worked his way to third and
scored when Bowen shot a grounder

Smith Nominated
By Students In

Alfred E. Smith has stood the test

or at least what Washington and
Lee University students are fond of
calling the laboratory test ofthe De-
mocratic party-their quadriennial
mock convention. Smith was nomin-
ated on the seventeenth ballot after
breaking the Smith-Ritchie-Re

Omicron Delta Kappa Now Plays
Important Part ln College Life

The last twenty years have seen a
remarkable growth in the part which
extra-curricular activities play in
the life of the American college.

Today athletic and non-athletic ac-
tivities are almost as important in
the training of the average college
student as scholarship itself. The
college has practically a replica of
the business world upon its campus
in the many and varied activities
which it supports, and in striving
for these activities the student
learns much that is invaluable to
him in later life.

Honor societies perform a useful
service as far as they go but they
fail to satisfy the rapidly growing
demand for a fraternity, member-
ship in which will be significant of
campus leadership as such, regard-
less of the line of activity in_ which
this leadership is shown.

The Omicron Delta Kappa frater-
nity was organized for just this pur-
pose. Although founded but 13 years
ago, the foresight and vision of its
original members in drawing up its
constitution and forming its ideals
has rendered it ideally suited for the
present situation. Indeed the foun-
ders have gone even farther, for by
providing for alumni and faculty
members, they have made the local
circle truly representative of all in-
terested in the welfare of the col-
lege and, therefore, membership in
its circle is as coveted by members
of the faculty and alumni as by the
undergraduates themselves.

The Omircron Delta Kappa frater-
nity was founded at Washington and
Lee University on December 3, 1914.
The experience of the organization
during the almost 13 years which

CAMPUS TAX

Student Body will have an
opportunity to express it
portance and seriousness to
is unsurpassed by any broug
pus for several years in con
the pleas of the candidates f

n a question which, in im-
are of Washington and Lee,
e the electorate on this cam-
n merited, it even surpasses
es here.

The campus tax as proposed by a joint committee of the
Executive Committee and the Publication Board, will, if put into
effect, result in a saving, both financial and temporal, to every
man registered in the university. The cost of the three publi-
cations has been cut from eleven dollars to less than $8.50, and
debating, the Executive Committee, and the Troubadours have
been taken care of at a cost per student resulting in a total fee
of only ten dollars.

The plan will result in better publications, less advertising
matter and more news, and operating upon a sound, guaranteed,
financial basis. Debating will be relieved of the burden of de-
pending upon voluntary contributions to support it, and the stu-
dent government will be enabled to operate without need of
asking donations from organizations or dances, if estimates are
correct. The try-out fee, which is really a donation upon the
part of unsuccessful aspirants, will be eliminated from Trouba-
dour pre-requisites, and students will be free from several drives
annually conducted for publication subscriptions.

The proposal is a commendable one. It deserves the support
and favorable vote of every man on the campus. It will be one
of the most progressive innovations ever introduced at Washing-
ton and Lee, and will result in multifold benefits to every indi-
vidual attending the University.

The election of eighteen student:
and two prominent alumni of the

Delta Kappa will be announced at a
university assembly tomorrow at 1
o’clock, when formal tapping cere-
monies will be held. Dr. J. D. Eg-
gleston, president of Hampden-Syd-
ney College, will deliver a short
inspirational address following the
tapping.

The marking of the newly elected
men will be done by President J. M.
Holt, president, J. B. Towill, vice-
president, and R. F. Howe, secre-
tary~treasurer, of Alpha Circle and
the names of the men will be an-
nounced from the rostrum by Dr. H.
D. Campbell, dean of the Uuiversity.

Private initiation ceremonies will
be held tomorrow evening at 6
o’clock, and following the adminis-
tration of the ritual, an elaborate
banquet will be served the initiates
by the old men at the Dutch Inn.
At this time Dr. Eggleston will
speak especially to the new1y-accept-
ed members, and other members of
the Circle will make brief remarks.

In keeping with the established
policy of Omicron Delta Kappa, or
“The Circle” as it is commonly
known, men representing all phases
of undergraduate activity on the
campus are among those chosen for
the bestowal of this signal honor.
Scholars, athletes, publication work-
ers, athletic managers, dramatic
and social leaders, and religious

backers are found among those pick- ‘l

ed from the Student Body, and it is
the concensus of opinion that the

eighteen students to be tapped con- I

stitute the pick of Washington and
Lee from all viewpoints.

“Cy, Jr.” Arrives Late
For Mock Convention

Edwin Parker Twombly Jr., now
two-day-old son of assistant profes-
sor of Physical Education and Mrs.
E. P. Twombly, arrived in Lexing-
ton just a few hours too late to
witness the nomination of Al Smith
for president of the United States.
The nomination of Smith and the
youngsters entry upon the scene
prompted several friends of the pop-
ular “Cy" to suggest Alfred Smith
Twombly as the young man’s moni-
ker, but nothing would do but that
a “junior” be selected.

With Mrs. Twombly is her sister,
Mrs. E. E. Brett, of Coral Gables,
Fla., wife of the former boxing mid
wrestling coach here. Mr. Brett is
now with the physical education de-
partment of the University of
Miami.

Troubadours To Present Extensive
Pantomine At Natural Bridge May 19

By W. M. Garrison

The Troubadours of Washington
and Lee, who have been “doing it
up swell” in the dramatic line this
year, are “putting on one” soon that
WILL be “one.”

Saturday, May 19, will see the
Troubadours produce at Natural
Bridge an extensive pantomine, de-
picting the Granting of the Char-
ter by King George III to Thomas
Jefferson for tracts of land in which
is now contained Natural Bridge.

Te pantomine will further depict
social functions of the eighteenth
century, as well as revealing George
Washington making an extensive
survey of that and outlying terri-
tory.

President Tommy Thames and
Manager Toot Gibson of the Trou-
badours have secured Pathe, Fox,
International News, and Paramount
photo movie services to be on hand
with a battery of cameras to record

the pantomine in all its many de-
tails.

This event will give nation-wide
publicity to Washington and Lee
University, and in the eyes of many
will place the Troubadours on a par
with the Princeton Triangle and the
Michigan Union, famous college dra-
matic organizations of the East and
Middle-West, respectively.

In all probability, the “girls” of
the Troubadour shows this year will
not be used in the pantomine. Girls
from nearby cities will take the
place of the Troubadour female im-
personators who have played their
roles so well in the Thanksgiving
and Easter shows.

Further announcements will be
made from time to time, from now
until May 19, by President Thames
and Manager Gibson as details of
the extensive pantomine are com-

pleted.

FRIDAY’S ELECTIONS

ASHINGTON AND LEE is upon the threshold of another

election of student officers and leaders in the various phases
of undergraduate activities on the campus. When the voters
go to the polling place Friday, they will have upon themselves
the responsibility of selecting the men who will have charge of
their affairs during 1928—29—the men who will represent them
before the faculty, administration, and the world at large.

The great powers of the Executive Committee, dance leaders,
and publication executives here, which probably surpass the
discretionary authority possessed by these men in any other
institution, call for their placement III the hands of students fit-
ted to administer them properly. The election of a man unfitted
for the post to which he aspires would be nothing short of a
calamity. I

In voting Friday, students owe it to themselves and to their
school to lay aside all favoritism, both of a personal and of a
political nature, and to vote their convictions as to which of the
opposing candidates is the man best fitted for the particular
office involved. In some instances, personal appeal and appear-
ance may be among the factors involved in making the choice,

but these alone should not sway the opinion of any voter.

Meet—Sandiier Higgli Point 5 c o r e r 

(From Monday’s

Competing in a steady rain Sat-
urday afternoon on Stadium Field in
Richmond, the Washington and Lee
track team welked away with a
thirteen point victory over the Uni-
Versity of Richmond. The final score
was 69 2-3 points to 56 1-3 points.

The outcome of Saturday’s encoun-
ter remained in doubt until the-fin-al
event, the half-mile. Coach Dob-
son’s charges were superior in the
weights and in the jumping events.
The Generals provcd best in the
dashes and the distance runs. The
mile was won by Richmond, Spindle
taking first place with Onesty and
Newton second and third respective-
ly.

The Generals, directed by Coach
Forest Fletcher, carried a squad of
twenty-six cinder path artists there
for the meet. Sandifer, of Washing-
ton and Lee was high point scorer
of the day with thirteen points to
his credit. Ed Cale, of the Spiders,
was second with ten credits. The
Generals displayed an abundance of
team spirit. Backus, Blue and White

New York Delegates in Riotous
Parade As Al Smith is Nominated

(From Tuesday’s Convention Extra)

“It is for the good of the United
States, gentlemen, that we support
Alfred E. Smith for the presidency,”
concludes Bernard Wagner,” the
gentleman from New York.

Pandemonium results. There are
cheers, hisses, yells, the blaring of
horns, and the beating of tin cans
and drums. The roar is deafening.

In the western end of the building,
the New York delegation has gone
wild. The delegates crawl over the
chairs, over each other, fighting,
cheering, scrambling for their fa-
vorite. Someone jerks the state ban-
ner from its position and rushes"in—
to the aisle. His fellow New ‘Yor-
kers follow, yelling madly.

The parade romps on around the
hallf Others join the procession. The
line encircles the floor, which svcins
vacant without the suportcrs of
Smith.

Nuinei'ousplaca1‘(is tell their advo-
cacics. “Al Smith for Prc—~sidcnt,”
“Wilson»—then Smith,” “Al for all,”
“VVe want Smith,” “Al—‘J9 44-100
percent pure,” “Wine for the Intel-
lectuals, Beer for the Workin;.’;1nan,
Whiskey for EVERYBODY” read
their slogans. A bearer trips and
sprawls on the floor with his ban-
ner. He is grabbed up bodily and
placed on his feet again.

When the parade is finished, an-

other speaker takes the platforni.

APPLE BLOSSOM
FESTIVAL DATES
SET FOR MAY 3.4

Fifth Annual Shenandoah Cele-
bration In Winchester
Next Week

ROANOKE GIRL IS QUEEN

Site of Hilarity Is Only 135 Miles
From Lexington; Roads
Are Good

Winchester, Va., April 26.—The
fifth annual inter-state Shenandoah
Apple Blossom Festival will be held
here Thursday and Friday, May 3 and
4, it was announced by Ray Robin-
son, director-general.

By that time it is quite certain the
11,000,000 trees in commercial apple
orchards of the Shenandoah—Cumber-
land-Potomac fruit district, extending
from around Gettysburg, Pa., on the
north down to the Roanoke section of

southwest Virginia, will be in full
bloom-—a rare and beautiful sight,
which attracted thousands of visitors
even before the inauguration of the
great springtime celebration here in
the northern tip of Virginia, situated
in the heart of the apple growing dis-
trict known as the “Blue Ridge coun-
try.” The blosoms remain on the
trees nearly a week before fading,
and a motor tour through the apple
belt is worth while.

Winchester is the junction point of
six main north-south and east-west
paved highways, and is easily acces-
sible from all points. During the past
few years crowds have greatly in-
creased at the festival, and visitors
were here from as far west as Pitts-
burgh and eastern Ohio, south as far
as Georgia, and from New York and
nearby states. The attendance last
year exceeded 100,000. Virtually ev-
erything is free, a visitor’s only ex-
penses being traveling and meals. The
first day is devoted to a parade of
10,000 school children in costumes—
the “parade of blossoms,” in which
there are many artisically decorated
floats and automobiles competing for
prizes, and a dozen bands. Over 300
students of the Handley High School
present historical pageants both days
on the 72—acre school campus, with
episodes introduced by lovely girls in
rythmic dances.

The spectacular and colorful festi-
val parade is the second—day feature,
with “Queen Shenandoah V,” Miss
Mary Wise Boxley, Roanoke, Va., rid-
ing in state on a royal throne of
gold, purple and white at the head of
the procession, led by the United
States Navy Band. Her guard of
honor numbers 650 military academy
cadets, and there are 75 princesses in
her court in addition to maids of
honor, heralds, personal bodyguards
and other functionaries in costumes
which impart a flavor of European
medievalism. Comdr. Richard E. Byrd
United States Navy, north pole fli-
er and explorer, a resident of Winch-
ester, has been invited to place the
crown of apple blossoms and jewels
upon the brow of her majesty. The
queen’s parade of 1927 covered four
miles, and included 32 bands from
points between Atlantic City, N. J.,
and Roanoke, Va.; half a dozen cadet
corps of military academies, fire-
men from five states, over 200 artist-
ic floats and decorated cars, fraternal
orders, and competitive displays by
three large railroad systems.

Gov. Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia,
and his military staff will fly from
Richmond to the festival in army
blimps. A sister plane of Lindbergh’s
Spirit of St. Louis will be flown by
Lieut. Erle Seabock, Canadian World
War flying ace, while the United
States Army will be represented by
several 650-foot sausage balloons.

Electrical illumination on a scale
never before undertaken will be a
night feature, with half a dozen
spotlights of high power sending
shafts of light into the skies along
with specially constructed fireworks.
Two nights are given over to danc-
ing and general frolicing on gaily
decorated streets.

Winchester is about 135 miles due
North of Lexington, and many stu-
dents usually make the’ trip to the
festival.

ONLY TWO STUDENTS
REMAIN IN HOSPITAL

W. Van Gilbert and Horace Gooch
are the only students now under
confinement in the hospital. Gilbert
has been in the hospital for more
than two weeks with a severe at-
tack of appendicitis but is recover-
ing rapidly and his release is ex-
pected within the next week. Gooch
has a mild case of grippe and will
be out in a day or two.

B. B. Tips left the hospital last
Thursday after being sick with the
mumps. Albert Steves, who had
grippe, was also released last Thurs-
day. C. J. Holland was confined
with a mild case of grippe but he
left the hospital last Saturday.

(From Monday’s Convention Extra)

By Bryant F. Evans

With three major candidates left
in the field, a deadlock appeard im-
minent when the balloting closed in
the afternoon session of the Wash-
ington and Lee national democratic
convention in Doremus gymnasium
yesterday afternoon.

Conclusions which seemed obvious
were:

Smith could not be defeated as
long as his cohorts stood firm.

Only two Southern states had left
the fold of the Smith opponents.
They were Kentucky and Texas.

Reed’s supporters were in a pos-
ition to block the nomination of
Smith.

Walsh was the only other can-
didate in the race, Ritchie having
been cut to the 12 votes of his nat-
ive state. ‘

W. & L. Lawyer
Resigns Seat On
Supreme Court

Judge Martin P. Burks, of the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court of Appeals,
tendered his resignation, Thursday,
effective on June 1, to Governor Har-
ry F. Byrd. Illness was the cause
of his retirement from the bench,
of which he has been a member for
eleven years.

Judge Burks was educated at
Washington College at the time Gen-
eral Robert E. Lee was president. He
studied law at the University of
Virginia. He is the author of Burks’
Pleading and Practice and other im-
portant discussions on legal matters.
He was professor of law at Wash-
ington and Lee University from
April, 1900, to early in 1917, when
he was appointed to the Supreme
Court by Governor Henry C. Stuart.
From June, 1903, until he went on
the bench he was dean of the law
department. He holds the honorary
degree of LL. D. from Roanoke Col-
lege and Washington and Lee Univ-
ersity. For twenty-two years Judge
Burks was reporter for the Supreme
Court of Appeals. He was one of
the Code revisers of 1919.

Covington, Va., April 25.—United
States Senator James A. Reed, of
Missouri, Democratic candidate for
the presidential nomination, spoke in
Covington at 7:30 o’clock and at
Clifton Forge at 9 o’clock tonight.
His addresses were heard by large
crowds and his remarks were en-
thusisatically received. He was in-
vited to come to Covington and Clif-
ton Forge by local committees. Sen-
ator Reed spoke at Bluefield, W. Va.
this afternoon.

With the two leading candidates
blocking each other, the convention
could have but one of two results:
There could be a landslide, probably
for Smith or compromise candidate,
probably Walsh, might be chosen.

Optimistic Smith followers said
that 429 votes were as many as they
could expect. Reed men had not
expressed an opinion.

SMITH AND REED SIJPPORTERS ARE
BRINGING DEADLOCK IN BALLOT

lWalsh Talks of Compromise; Smith Backers
Appear Optimistic Over Present Results

It was understood that the Texas
delegation had been won over to
Smith support through an under-
standing that New York might sup-
port Moody for vice—president.

Smith followers were firmly pre-
paring to fight it out to a finish.
Reed ranks were steady.

Unlucky thirteen marked the num-
ber of candidates who broke the bar-
rier yesterday morning when the bal-
loting started. New York’s governor
led the balloting with 233 votes.
Governor Ritchie, of Maryland, was
next in line, commanding 104 votes
Senator Reed and Comedian Will
Rogers, “the man of few words” as
Mr. Piersol characterized him last
night, tied for third with 100 votes
each.

Senator Walsh and Pat Harrison,
the only other candidates who could
be considered as serious, carried 31
and 41 votes respectively. The rest
of the places were taken by native
sons, of whom George and Glass
only were left when the morning
session closed.

The lean ranks of the seventh bal-
lot appeared as follows:

Smith—387

Reed—290

Walsh—147

Ritchie—12

GRANT HITS 10
FLAT AS F ROSH
DOWN ROANOKE

The freshman track team in scor-
ing a decisive victory over Roanoke
High last Saturday brought its ave-
rage up to one win and one loss.
Although "the weather conditions
were not favorable the results show
that the men are rounding into mid-
season form. Grant was clocked in
the century at 10 flat. The three
members of the relay team who
were entered in the quarter finished
one, two, three. This quartet, which
is composed of Dickey, Grant, Wil-
liams and Shepard will take part in
the University of Pennsylvania re-
lays, Saturday of this week. They
are competing in the Freshman
quarter mile relay championship of
America. In this race the leading
college freshmen teams of the coun-
try will be represented.

While the relay team is perform-
ing at Penn. the remainder of the
squad will be rounding into shape
for the meet with the Virginia
Freshmen, which will take place
here a week from Friday.

Smith Addiiesses

Dr. Henry Louis Smith, president
of Washington and Lee, was one of
the principal speakers at the an-

STAGE ALL SET FOR
FOR ANNUAL ELECTION

(Continued from Front}
give the entire Student Body a
chance to visit the chapel and cast
its vote.

Today, some forty-eight hours be-
fore the polls open, the official bal-
lot carries the names of 18 candi-
dates for the 12 respective offices.
Six of these offices are oposed, and
six are unopposed. Twelve men
will, therefore, be contesting for of-
fice tomorrow, while six will be
running unopposed.

All candidates will have a chance
to appear before the Student Body
at the annual political rally tomor-
row night at 9:00 o’clock in Doremus
Gymnasium. Each candidate will
make a short speech.

“Politicking” has been well under
way since the first announcement
list was posted on Tuesday, April
17. Speeches at fraternity houses,
visits to boarding houses and din-
ing halls, and “tours” through the
dormitories and rooming houses,
have been on schedule for the candi-
dates since last week and have con-
tinued through this week. The po-
litical fever will reach its crisis to-
morrow night at the rally, and in
the intensive “last-minute” work ov-
er the campus until the “wee sma’
hours” on Frinday morning. Even
then the work will not cease, but
must be carried on at the doors of
the polls in the form of “last-min-
ute reminder” cards and words. At
2:05 o’clock the candidates will heave
a sigh of relief and anxiously await
the final verdict.

Every member of the Student
Body should make it his personal
duty to visit Lee Chapel on Friday
morning and cast his ballot, thereby
doing his part toward making the
Democratic form of student body
government at Washington and Lee
a success.

The polls will be in charge of the
present officers and members of the
Executive Committee of the Student

Body.

nual convention of Shenandoah Val-
ley, Inc., held at Staunton recently.

The convention lasted all day, and
a varied program of reports,

The two principal speakers were
Governor Byrd of Virginia and Pres-
ident Smith. The governor spoke in
the morning and Dr. Smith in the
afternoon.

just past, Washington and Lee faces
another of a more personal nature
in. the Rally to be held Thursday
night previous to the elections Fri-

At 9 o’clock Thursday night, a

Metropolitan Papers
Throughout Section
Play Up Convention

What the members of the Wash-
ington and Lee publicity staff are
pleased to call “the labratory test
of the Democratic Party,” the stu-
dent quadriennial convention, is a
memory of the past; but because of
the efforts of that same publicity

staff, enthusiastic waves of that
turbulent session will reach distant
sections.

For the publicity staff, together
with staff members of the RING-
TUM-PHI, worked until the crow-
ing cock stood black against the
paleing east preparing copy for
great metropolitan dailies concern-
ing the events of the Washington
and Lee convention.

As early as Friday night work
was started on the task of noti-
fying the nation’s press. At that
time a brief forecast was sent to
some 20 newspapers, throughout
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland
Tennessee, and North Carolina, and
early Wednesday morning stories

Convention Extras
Edited By Rival
Editorial Aspirants

Two convention extras of the
Ring-tum-Phi were published during
the mock democratic convention—-
one Monday evening at the close of
the afternoon session, and the other
at midnight Tuesday as soon as the
final results were known.

“Nick” Carter edited the first ex-
tra and Henry P. Johnson the se-
cond. These two men are opposing
each other in tomorrow’s election
for editor of the 1928-9 Ring-tum-
Phi.

The publication by Carter appear-
ed Monday night during the nomin-
ation speeches, and newsboys dis-
tributed papers to the assembled
delegates. This issue contained the
news of what had occurred in the
convention meeting that afternoon.

An unofficial forecast of that af-
ternoon disclosed the fact that the
South was lined up against Smith.
This was made the chief topic of
the issue and an article appeared
concerning the Southern choices for
democratic nominee.

The keynote speech of E. H. Mil-
ler and the opening address of
Chairman J. M. Holt were both out-
lined and much quoted by the con-
vention reporters. The chief aim of
these two speeches was said to ex-
plain and emphasize the party ideals,
and to disparage the state of afairs
under the Republican rule.

Besides all this, a large space was
devoted to a record of the previous
conventions which had been held at
Washington and Lee since 1912.

Henry Johnson’s edition of the
Ring-tum-Phi came out in the early
hours of Wednesday morning, after
the final results were known. Al
Smith was the chief figure in the
stories of this issue since he had
received the presidential nomination
by the student assembly.

A large picture of Smith decorat-
ed the middle of the front page and
about it were grouped the write-
ups about the convention proceed-
ings——all leading up to, or dealing
with Smith’s nomination. The long-
est article was on the work of the
convention Monday night. It con-
tained the gist of all the nominating
and seconding speeches, the line-up
of states behind each candidate, and
some of the nominators’ remarks
that had been applauded by the
assembly. ‘

There were other articles of im-
portance in this edition such as a
review of the early stages in the
balloting, and a description of one
of the Smith parades that raged of-
ten through the gym.

In spite of all this convention
material room was still found for a
detailed account of the Washington
and Lee-Virginia game. Other ar-
ticles of importance, not pertaining
to the convention, appeared in both
extras.

There were 900 copies printed of
both extras. "

DEBATERS TRAINING TABLE

A training table for debaters is
that latest Harvard innovation. It is
thought by the coaches that discus-
sions at lunch and dinner will give
the contestants greater opportunity
than they now have to become thor-
oughly acquainted with the debate
topics, even if table talk in one sec-
tion of Harvard is likely to become a
bit tiring.

President H. L. Smith
Indorses Holding of
Campus Conventions

“Visiting the convention several
times, and recognizing that acquain-
tanceship with the political methods
of present—day America is a valu-
abletraining for future leading citi-
zens, I heartily approve the holding
of these mock conventions,” Dr. H.
L. Smith, president of Washington
and Lee, said in speaking of the
mock Democratic National Conven-
tion held here Monday and Tuesday.
Dr. Smith went on to say:

“I consider the one just held as
quite an accurate representation and
prediction of the tumultuous Na-
tional Conventions that are to be
held in June.”

“The speeches that I heard struck
a high level of earnestness and im-
pressiveness,” President Smith re-
marked on the nominating and se-
conding speeches. V

Freshmen-Potomac
Battle To Fifteen
Inning Tie 5 All

The Little Generals and the Po-
tomac State School baseball teams
battled fifteen innings to a 5 to 5
tie on Wilson field yesterday after-
noon. Sutton, on the mound for Ed-
die Parks Davis’ club, and Reidy for
the Potomac team traveled the full
route, each fanning 17 batters. Sut-
ton limited the Potomac boys to
nine hits over the long distance,
while Reidy granted ten to the Lit-
tle Generals.

Although the extra periods made
the game drag, the contest was not
without thrills. The advantage
shifted back and forth during the
early innings as each team made
short rallys. In the fourteenth frame,
the visitors combined a hit with an
bobble and a wild throw to score
what looked like the deciding run;
but Coach Davis’ aggregation took
advantage of Reidy’s temporary wild-
ness in their half, and coupled with
daring baserunning succeeded in
knotting the count. The contest was
called on account of darkness after
one more episode.

Phenomenal fielding on the
of the part of the visiting outfield
undoubtedly saved the game for P0-
tomac. They frequently pulled in
hard hit drives after long runs, while
the center gardener cut off what
seemed like a sure score when he
threw out Thibodeau at the plate as
the latter attempted to score from
second on Wright’s liner through the
box. .

Williams led the Washington and
Lee attack with two solid three-base
smacks out of six swings, while
Crowe did the heavy stick work for
Potomac with a double and a brace
of singles in six trips to the pan.
The hitting of the Little Generals
was heavy but inconsistent, as shown
by the fact that four of the first
five safeties went for extra bases;
the visitors found themselves in pra-
ctically the same predicament and
were able to bunch their hits in the
third inning only.

Both pitchers, Sutton for Wash-
ington and Lee, and Reidy for P0-
tomac gave masterful performances.
Several times faulty support caused
runs to be scored against them, but
when darkness ended the game, both
were going at full steam. Sutton
retired three men by the strike-out
route in the fifteenth.

SAYS SOUTH WILL
BAR NEGRO VOTE

The South has “no intention of
letting the Negro vote,” and while
it obeys the letter of the federal
constitution in this regard, it does
not hesitate to evade the spirit of
that document, and will keep on
doing so, Senator Carter Glass is
quoted in an article in this week’s
Liberty."

cording to this rule a majority of one
in a state delegation will swing the
Vote of that state to the support of

have elapsed since then has furnish-
ed ample justification for the fact
that its founders believed that there
was room for another Greek letter
oi'ganization among the large num-
her now found on the campuses of
most American colleges and univer-
sities.

The inception of the movement
which eventually resulted in the es-
tablishment of Omicron Delta Kap-
pa was due to J. Carl Fisher, who
was then a member of the Senior
Class at Washington and Lee. After
a careful survey of the situation as
it existed at that institution in 1914,
he associated himself with two
other members of theistudent body,
R. N. Latture and William M. Brown
These three men worked out the
main outlines of the plan for launch-
ing the proposed organization. Dr.
Henry L. Smith, Dr. D. B. Easter
and Prof. D. C. Humphreys also be-
came founders, and public announce-
ment of the organization was made
in December, 1914. The fraternity
functioned admirably from the very
outset, and the fraternity spread
nationally.

Omicron Delta Kappa desires to
honor men in every phase of cam-
pus life and to bring together stu-
dents and faculty on an equal foot-
ing. In many institutions member-
ship in Omicron Delta Kappa is re-
garded as the highest honor which
can come to any student, not exclud-
ing many other of the older and
more widely known honorary organi-
zations. The fraternity now numbers
23 circles and a net total of 1751
members.

Banta’s Greek Exchange has the
following to say of Omicron Delta
Kappa:

“The rise of the honorary society,
Omicron Delta Kappa, has been one
of the most outstanding features of
the development within recent years
of means to guide the growth of
extra curriculum activities in col-
leges and to mould college opinion
on questions of local and intercolle-
giate opinion. In its short existence
of 13 years, this society has been
a powerful factor exerting influ-
ence on the campus of every insti-
tution where it is located. In a word,
it is conceded to be a final authority
on student affairs.

SMITH NOMINATED

gates. Chairs are scattered about the
floor. Groups gather here and there
discussing their candidates. The hall
is an ant hill of gesticulating poli-
ticians.

“Dam the Flood of Damning Li-
quor,” “Al for All,” “A 99 44-100
per cent pure”, “Wine for the In-
tellectuals, Beer for the Working-
man, Whiskey for Everybody”,
“Keep America Dry” flaunt random
banners.

Tapping of Chairman Joe Holt’s
gavel quiets the uproar. Delegates
resume their seats, heads gather to-
gether and whisper, dark political
screts. Many faces flush with ar-
gument.

A speaker in favor of the Vol-
stead Act takes the floor, gazes bel-
ligerently down at the delegation
and breaks into oratory. His excite-
ment increases. He stamps back and
forth about the rostrum and beats
heavily upon the stand before him.
“It is for the good of America,” he
cries and beats his chest convincing-
ly.

Now the platform is made and the
balloting for nominee starts.

In one end of Doremus gymnas-
ium, the massive chairman of the
Texas delegation sits quietly listen-
ing to the speaker. His feet are
perched on a chair in front of him.
The cigar in his mouth walks from
corner to corner. Ashes drop to his
vest. He pays no attention to his
appearance. His candidates competi-
tion prey upon him.

On an inspiration he jumps to his
feet and hurries across to the New
York delegation. He talks into the
ear of the chairman for a few se-
conds, then looks expectantly at his
face. The listener smiles slowly and
nods his head. The chairman beats
his open palm. On the next roll call
Texas votes for Smith. It is under-
stood in the undercurrent of gos-
sip that New York will vote for
Moody for Vice President.

Late Tuesday night rivalry reach-
ed its pitch. No one delegate could
be picked out “politickin’.” They
were all at it. Pennsylvania’s chair-
man chased Ohio’s, who was in turn
chasing Tennessee’s. On the thir-
teenth roll call Ritchie rivalled
Smith. On the fourteenth, Ritchie
was forgotten and Reed again head-
ed the opposition to the New York
governor.

On the sixteenth vote, they start-
ed swinging. One after the other
of the Reed and Ritchie states
changed allegiance. On the spur of
the moment, Virginia

ing a long high fly to Slanker in
centerfield.

The next inning Cardwell was the
first man to come to the plate. He
went out, Jones to Spotts, after
dropping one just in front of the
home plate. Byrd garnered a neat
Texas leaguer right over short. When
Dunn sent a hot grounder to Spotts,
almost too hot to handle, B}«'1‘d 1'30"
ed to the key-stone. Virgini-a’s sec-
ond sacker, Randolph poled a neat
two bagger—and incidentally Virgin-
ia’s only extra base hit into left
which rolled to the fence near the
tracks. On this play Byrd Was able
to reach home plate, scoring the
Cavalier’s third and final tally.

“Sorty” Franklin was blak in
the line up after being forced to the
bench two weeks ago with a sore
arm. “Horse” Tips broke into the
running again too after being con-
fined to the hospital for nearly ten

days with mumps. Tips batted for
Franklin in the eighth and then took
over the post in left and Tuggle went
to short.

Warthen tookthe laurels for the
W. & L. batsmen by connecting with
one of Melrose’s fast balls for three
bases. His drive came in the second
with one down and none aboard the
sacks.

The Generals leave on a short
jaunt to Maryland Thursday to meet
the old liners in College Park Fri-
day and Navy Saturday. This will
be the Blue and White’s only trip
north this year. The schedule calls
for another game with Maryland here
Friday, May 18.

Finds Right

Tobacco for

the Tropics

‘ 0 October 6, 1926
Larus & Bro Jo.

Richmond, Va., U. S. A.
Gentlemen:

Most all well-known tobaccos smoke
well in a cold or temperate climate,
but very few in a tropical climate.
They are mostly too heavy, don’t seem
to be blended right—at least that is
my opinion gained from practical ex-
perience.

However, Edgeworth is the same in
any climate. Again that is my opinion
gained by practical experience.

I cannot get the same pleasure out
of any brand of tobacco that I can out
of Edgeworth, and I have tried many
—and paid fancy prices, too. It costs
real money to smoke imported tobaccos
here; the import duty is very high.

Anyway, we cannot have everything
we would like in these countries, so we
hold on to all the little pleasures possi-

e. Now you know why I smoke
Edgeworth.

Yours respectfully,
R R'
