Out to Revenge Earli- er Defeat Administered By Carolinians FOLLIARD WILL; PITCH Coach Smith Anxious to Increase Standing; Marines Scheduled For Friday The Generals meet North Caro- lina State tomorrow afternoon on Wilson field for the second time this season and will complete the week’s baseball card on Friday in a con- test with the Quantico Marines. The Carolinians have one decision over the Generals so far this year when they trimmed Coach Smith’s team on the latter’s invasion of the Tar Heel State early in the season. The Generals have the advantage this time of playing on their home lot and have had plenty of rest, a thing that prevented them from showing their best form in their ap- pearance at Raleigh. The Marines always present a well rounded club when they oppose the Generals, and as they have been reinforced by good material from the scattered de- tachments, it is very probable that they will send a polished team to Lexington. The Leathernecks will arrive in Lexington Thursday morn- ing, will take on V. M. I. that af- ternoon, and will appear on Wilson field Friday. Captain Paul Folliard is slated to do the tossing against the Wolf- pack Thursday, as the team from Carolina is a member of the Tri- State League and Coach Smith is anxious to increase his team’s stand- ing. ‘ I .

Lyle in his address to the Gra- ham-Lee Society Saturday, April 28. Professor Lyle’s address was com- prehensive in its extent, discussing the subject from the standpoint of traffic rights, parking, zoning and width of streets. After Dr. Lyle’s address was a debate on “legalized murder to rid the state of feeble minded,” with M. A. Simons on the affirmative and A. R. Coleman on the negative. By a vote of the audience on the merit of the question it was decid- ed negatively. A lively open forum followed the regular debate. The program for Saturday, 5, is as follows: May Current Events. 100 Years Ago—C. J. Lewis. 50 Years Ago—J. P. Davis. 25 Years Ago—W. Rowland. 10 Years Ago——J.P. Lynch. 5 Years Ago——A. G.

Gobbler Yearlings By 6 to 5 Score The Little Generals turned back the Rat baseball team from V. P. I. yesterday afternoon on Wilson field by the score of 6 to 5. Sutton did the twirling for Coach Eddie Parks Davis’ charges and but for poor support at times would have blanked the Blacksburg club. Dozier for the visitors also hurled a credi- table game, but the Little Generals coupled their hits with loose work on the part of the V. P. I. back- stop to come out on top. Jenkins and Taliaferro, the local shortstop and catcher, respectively, were the only members of either team to connect safely more than once. Their blows, a double and 3 singles were greatly instrumental in the run making. Hughes and Nichols each secured a two-base smack for the visitors, while Wood’s single to center was the only other safety Sutton yielded. Washington and Lee took an ear- ly lead when Richardson opened the second inning with a double to left, took third on a passed ball and scored on 'Wright’s infield out. The Little Generals added two more in the fifth when Jenkins, with two away, doubled to left and scored on (Continued from Page 1) __ 0-77m TRACKMEN BOW BEFORE TECH IN MEET 84 TO 36 Monday the track team was de- feated by V. P. I. at Blacksurg 84 to 36. The meet, formerly scheduled for Saturday, April 28, was rained out on that date. Sandifer, versatile track star for the Generals was high point man of the meet with 11 points to his credit and.Peake of the Gobblers was close behind with 10. Sandifer took first place in the hundred yard dash and seconds in the 220 yard dash and the high jump. Peake gained his markers by taking first in both the high and broad jumps. Pomeroy took the only other first place the losers made in the pole vault—clear- ing the bar at 10 feet 10 inches. Three records of over fifteen years standing fell in this meet, all of them being broken by Tech runners. Wells dipped three tenths seconds off the old mark of 15.8 for the 120 yard high hurdles. Shell threw the jav- elin 173 feet 11/; inches to better the former record of 171 feet 9 in- ches. A third record was equalled by Avery in the 220 yard low hurdl- es whon he covered the distance in 26.2 seconds. The meet was brought to a climax in a thrilling race be- tween Hutchinson of V. P. I. and Backus, of W. & L. for first place in the half mile.

The Mock Trial is presented each spring by the Phi Delta Phi pledges and has come to be one of the most popular entertainments of the school year. The name of the defendant who will come before the court on Thurs- day will be kept from the public until the time of the trial but he is expected to be one of the distin- guished men in the University. The trial ‘Will start promptly at 7:30, it is announced. The fol- lowing initiates will take part in the proceedings: M. J. Arnd, R. B. Campbell, Leonard Davis, Joe Ed- mondson, Peyton Harrison, Harry Rand, F. E. Schmitt, Van Holloman, and Monty Montgomery. ______0______ Spring Number of Mink Appears Tuesday Afternoon Breezy and snappy in its con- tents, the “Spring Frolics Number” of The Mink, university humorous magazine, appeared on the campus yesterday aftcrnoon. A brilliant cover, done in glossy pasted colors, by Frances French adorns the issue. Art work by Dud Carr, Frances French, “Joy” Glenn, Frances Guthrie, Jack Ecker, Leo- nard«Glover and Alice Perry are ftatured on the inside contents of the 28—page issue, as well as an at- tractive display of jokes, poems and witticisms done in collegiate style. This is the seventh issue of The Mink during the 1927-28 session. One more issue, “The Finals Num- nor,” will appear on June 1, and will complete Volume VIII with its announced today by Wilton M. Garrison, edi- tor-in—chief, and George S. DePass, business manager. _ The “Finals N,11mber”._will be adorned with a cover by Dud Carr, done in striking colors and. accord- ing to the modern tendency._of cov- er’ designs. The monthly double-page feature by “Dud and Bill,” which has grown to be a very popular note in the comic, will appear again and will be executed in crayon and block-pencil effects of shading. The title-page will also be by Dud Carr, as will two center-page drawings. A number of quarter-page features by Frances French, drawn in the ultra-modern style of art, will lend color and charm to the pages of what gives promise of being the “biggest and best” issue of The Mink this year. Editor Garrison and Manager DePass, backed by their respective staffs, think that this is- sue will be a fitting finale to the tain coming up from behind the Gen- eral’s middle distance star to break the tape a step ahead for a new rec- cord time of 1:58.6.

Lee’s Freshman‘ track team will meet the Baby Ca- valiers from the University of Vir- ginia on Wilson field Friday at 3:30. The Little Generals have a tough assignment on hand if comparative scores are to be taken into account. The Virginia Frosh recently doubl- ed the score over S. M. A., and S. M. A. decisively defeated the Little Generals only a short time ago. Ac- cordingly, there is no superabun- dance of optimism prevading the squad. - However the Little Generals look exceptionally good in the 100, 220 and 440 _with Grant in the dashes and Shepherd, D_ickey and Williams in the quarter mile. Faulkner and Hanna wil handle the weights for the Frosh, while Herms and Clay ought to furnish plenty of opposition to the Baby Cavaliers in the high jump. Barron is Coach Fletcher’s outstanding Frosh in both the low and high hurdles. Although little is known of the strong points of the visiting crew, it is certain that they have a well- balanced team to judge by the crushing defeats they have given to any and all comers. But the Little Generals are out to avenge some of the Cavalier victories this year, and the meet should be crammed full of fight and excitement. ——————0 Phi Delta Phi Mock Trial Thurs- (Continued from Page 1) day night at 7:30 in Lyric Theatre. cenemzs’ zvetmeri FUNERAL 8 SIERVICES AT BEDFORD TUESDAY FOR JUDGE M.

Nine silver loving cups to be giv- en at the Convention were placed on display by Mr. R. B. Ellard in the show window of Henebrey’s Jewelry Store in Roanoke. These loving cups will be given as prizes for the best high school publica- tions submitted at the convention. Seven books by Virginia authors have already been received to be given in the Individual Merit Con- test for high school publication work. Three copies of “The Band Pl iyed Dixie” were donated by the a;‘.h:.r himself, Morris Markey. In personally giving these books, Mr. Markey highly commended the Jour- nalism Department for the work it is doing towards promoting more interest in writing. He also stated that in his opinion the best literary work being done in America today was by Southern authors. Other books received were three works of Sherwood Anderson, “Dark Laughter,” “Tar,” and “Sherwood Anderson’s Notebook,” which were donated by Boni & Liverwright, New York Publishers. Doubleday Doran & Company contributed the three most recent novels of Ellen Glasgow, “The Romantic Come- dians,” “Builders,” and “Barren Ground.” Arrangements are almost complet- ed for the banquet which will be given as a climax of the Conven- tion. It will be held in the Dining Hall, which has been offered by R. A. Smith. The Lexington Steam Bakery will provide hot rolls, fur- nishing some 12 dozen rolls. Cut flowers for the banquet were ob- tained today from the Hedgelawn Nursery at Roanoke. o___ Baseball Team To Play State Thursday Six games won and four lost so far this season. The team’s trip to Washington and vicinity last week- end did not alter the standing as both games were rained out. The next game on schedule is for Thursday afternoon of this week, when North Carolina State will in- vade Lexington and try to revenge themselves for their recent defeat by the Generals. Friday, the Quan- tico Marines will play here making the second game of the week. The date for the second Virginia game has not been settled, although it is probable that it will be played May 19. The scores of the games played so far this season are as follows: W. & L. 4, C.U. 0; W. & L. 3, Cor- nell 2; W&L 4, N.C.U. 6; W&L 1, U. of Richmond 6; W&L 1, N.C.U. 0; W&L 3, V.P.I. 5; W&L 0 U. of ____?0____,_ The Glee Club presented a musi- cal program during the morning services of the Presbyterian Church last Sunday.

Judge M. P. Burks DORSEY SAYS CONVENTION TAX NOT FULLY PAID It is imperative that the 25c tax which was assessed each student during the recent Mock Democratic Convention be paid at once. Many of the men have failed to pay this small sum according to W. J. Dor- sey, Vice-President of the Student Body, and in order to defray cer- tain necessary expenses which were incurred at the time, each student who has not paid as yet is urged to do so at once. Dorsey requests the Chairman of the various state delegations to see each man on ln.is..delegation person- ally in an effort to make up the de- ficit. The “Extras” of he “Ring- tum Phi,” which were published during the convention, alone cost $70.00 not including several other expenses such as renting and haul- ing chairs, sending telegrams, etc. To date only 55.00 has been paid, and the remainder must be raised at once. All money colected should be turned over to W. J. Dorsey at the Phi Gamma Delta house. ______0:__ Wrestling Squad Gets 15 New Men In Spring Training Interest is rapidly increasing in Spring wrestling as evidenced by 15 new men answering the call in the past week. This makes a total of 35 men on the squad at present. Work in fundamentals will furnish the main part of each practice menu but Coach Mathis is beginning to concentrate now on the regular fighting on the mat. Instructions in the “football tackle”, the “pick up”, and practical pinning holds such as body and head scissors are now receiving especial attention. Several “finds” are being brought to light in each practice. Kessler, a new man in the sport looks very good and acording to Coach Mathis he will give the veterans a run for their money next year. Mahler, an- other new man, and Nelson, one of last year’s reserves are the out- standing men in the 125 lb. class. In the 135 lb section, Jones, aSoph- omore and a newcomer, is showing a great deal of ability and stamina. Smoot, the Intra-mural winner, looks like a sure thing in the 145 lb class, while Flagg and Tully both show promise of becoming winners in the 158 lb division. Bolton seems to be headed toward his best year in the 175 lb. section. Bolton is a veteran of two years on the Var- sity, and this experience coupled with his increasing maturity and strength should make him a dreaded opponent in Southern Conference circles next winter. j___0?__ PROFESSOR C.

' beth’s Hospital, Funeral services for Judge Mar-C tin Parks Burks, associate justice of the Supreme Court of A,ppealI""f.,fi of Virginia, and former dean of the?“ Washington and Lee Law School, 1, were held at his birthplace, Bed-M ford City, from St. John's Episco- pal church, yesterday afternoonat" 5 o’clock. Official representatives"‘of' W. and L. present were: Harrington _. Waddell, of the board of trustees,’ Dean H. D. Campbell, of the uni- v. Dean W. H. Moreland of the Law School, and Professor C. E. Williams, of the Law School fac- ulty. ‘ Judge Burks died in St. Eliza- Richmond, Monday afternoon, after contracting pneu- monia following an operation. He had resigned from the supreme bench of the state less than three weeks ago on account of ill health, and spent a few days at his home in Lexington, between the alumni headquarters and the old high school before going to the Richmond hos- pital. V Born in Bedford City Born at Liberty, now Bedford City, January 23, 1851, Judge Burks was in his seventy-eighth year. He was the son of Judge Edward C. Burks, and, true to his early-ex- pressed desires, followed in his father’s footsteps in being an at- torney, teacher, author and justice on the state supreme bench. “Daddy,” as he was affectionately known, received his A. B. from Washington College, now Washing- ton and Lee, in 1870, and graduat- ed in law at the University of Vir- ginia in 1872. He received honorary degrees of L1. D. from Roanoke Col- lege in 1903, and from W. and L., whose Law School he had directed, in 1920. During his long,and active life as an attorney, author, speaker, jur- ist, and authority upon the law, par- ticularly as it pertained to the Vir- , ginia common law system, Judge Burks was associated with the Su- preme Court of Appeals in various capacities. He was official reporter for the court from 1895 to 1917, when ‘he was elevated to the bench by Governor Henry C. Stuart, and took the lead in revising of the state code and statutes during 1914-1917. Among his noteworthy contribu- tions to Virginia law are Burks’. “Pleading and Practice,” and his treatise on “Property Rights of Married Women in Virginia.” _ Judge Burks was associated with the Washington and Lee Law School for seventeen years, and served as dean from 1903 until 1917. During his term here the Law School grew in size and prestige, and alumni at- tribute much of the past and pre- sent standing of the legal instruc- tion here to the efforts of “Daddy” Burks. In 1905, two years after joining the faculty, he edited the reports of the Supreme Court of Ap- peals. He married Miss Mildred Eliza- beth Buford, and had two children, one a daughter who died some years ago, and the other a son, Martin P. Burks, who survives. Martin P. Burks III, a grandson, is at present a freshman here. Judge Burks was a member of Phi Betta Kappa, and of Phi Delta Phi, legal fraternity. He was a member of the Episcopal church, and a life-long Democrat. _____0______ Dr. G. D. Hancock, professor of economics and commerce, left town today for Chicago where he will at- tend a business conference. It is not known what day he will return to Lexington but he is ex- pected back some time next week.

Taking over the dean’s office of the Law School at a critical time in the history of the University, Judge Burks brought to W. and L. the reputation for construc- tivo research and education, and ma;le the Law Lchool here the lea-_ing school in the South for iI1struc5;iOn in the gI'eat Common Law principles al1::O.:t uni ¢I'.;;:;Iy appiicabie. Much of the prestige of in,~3tructiOn here is due to his efiiorts, and passing brings to mini more forcibly than could any o.hcr event his lasting co;I.:';- bution to his Alma Mater. V’v'.()l‘Cl3 fail to express the sorrow felt among Wash- ingLo;I and Lee men evcry\'.lIeI'e, and especially among those who sat u:I_.cr him—during his years of service here, at his death. To them, “Daddy” Burks was an ever-living model of integrity and character, and his de- votion to his profession and its highest standards con- ~ stitutes an example for every aspiring lawyer and stu- dent to follow. Regardless of his service to Virginia on the bench and as the leader in revising her statutes and code, his service as a teacher is everywhere recognized as being the outstanding achievement of his career. The Rich- mond TIMES-DISPATCH, speaking editorially following Lg; resignation from the bench recently, said: “But it is not as a jurist that he will be remem- bered most affectionately. Judge Burks was a great teacher. For seventeen years he was the soul of the law school of Washington and Lee University. There he gave force and direction to the minds of thousands of young men who enjoyed the privilege of sitting at the feet of a beloved mentor. In his retirement he must think more wistfully of those years when it was given him to expound to eager youth the undying principles of the law, that they might be enabl- ed to exert in the world their influence in be- half of justice and fair dealing, than of his ca- reer on the bench, however brilliant that may have been. At Washington and Lee he was a successor, in a sense, of that greatest of all Vir- ginians, Robert E. Lee, in the training of the youth of the country for the manifold problems of high citizenship.” The Lynchburg News did not realize what hidden meaning lay in the word “retirement” when it commented in its editorial columns fOl- ’ lowing Judge Burks’ announced intention of quitting the supreme bench June 1. ItI spoke as follows: “Ten years a judge of the supreme court of Virginia and seventeen years the guiding genius of the law school of Washington and Lee University and before that a practising lawyer of note, Judge Martin P. Burks now re- tires to private life and to the rest so well earned by three decades of honorable service to his state. That he was well liked and hon- ored by his associates on the supreme court bench and respected by those who practiced law before him and that his retirement brings to them deep sincere regret is no more than was expected by those who sat at his feet to learn law at Lexington. Those youths who lnew him and who knew so well, too, how to to size up a professor, and who called him “I39. 'dy” with affectionate pride, are now ma- tr;.:\. men, some of them with honors of their 0\..l, but they will ever follow him into re- THE RING-TUM PHI tirement with that love and honor they gave him when he was the heart and soul of the law school they love so well and in the remem- , brance of which he looms so large. “A lawyer, a teacher, a jurist of note, he will be remembered longest as a teacher. He among those who made the law school of Washington and Lee University known throughout the country; he was among those largeiy responsible for the high rank attained by so many of the graduates of that school. An I resting in private life and regaining it is to be hoped, the health he has sacrificed to his life’s work, he, too, will remember, aIId there is none who does not believe firmly that his thoughts will turn oftenest to those beau- tiful days in the shadow of those monuments a grateful people have erected to Washington and to Lee, to that beautiful campus across which he strolled daily, to the youths, now grown, he helped forward to life’s work.” The ltoclabridge County News, after discussing the statewide expressions of regret at Judge Burks’ retire- ment from the bench, pictures the boy as possessing all the human qualities of the average student, mentions the pecliruiary sacrifice made in order to don the profes- sorls mantlei., and emphasizes the thorough application to duty which made him outstanding in the field of legal instruction.

GENERALS’ CNETMEN ON NORTHERN TRIP (Continued from First Page) Lexington next Sunday. Their first meet was yesterday af- ternoon with Catholic University in Washington, D. C. A match with this team here was rained out ear- lier in the season so nothing known as to their strength, the 10- cals however, are expecting a favor- Wednesday, Captain Miller’s men will George Washington University, also Washington. The match will be played at the University and the team will leave immediately after- wards for State College, Pennsyl- vania, where they will meet Penn State Thursday afternoon. They will leave Friday morning for New York City to play New York Uni- versity in the afternoon, and wind up the invasion against Lehigh Uni- versity in Bethlehem, Saturday af- ternoon, Lehigh will most probably be the strongest team the Blue and White will come up against; one of their players being the National Inter-Collegiate Champion. This is the only team the locals met last year on the Northern trip, and they will now have a chance to avenge the defeat administered them at that time. All last week elimination matches were held to decide who was‘ to make the trip. Coach Williams P1Ck' ed his team of Miller, Thomas. «Ia- cobs, Gooch and Turk at the be$m' ning of the week, all of these how- ever, were subject to a challenge and in case of defeat were auto- matically eliminated from the quin- tet. Gooch won three of these eli- mination matches——defeating Clap)?’ 8-6 and 6-0; Harris, 6-4; 6'3 and Carter 6-4, 6-3. Carter also chal- lenged Turk but was defeated 6-1, and 6-3. Jacobs defeated Harris 6- 3 and 6-3. Lack of necessary funds making it imposible to carry more than 5V9 men, only seven matches will be played against each school, whereas nine is the usual number. Each man will play two out three sets in the singles, and in the doubles they will pair up as follows; Gooch and Thomas playing first doubles, and Miller and Jacobs, second doubles. Miller and Turk are veterans on the team and the rest of the men are out for their first year. Four home matches have been on schedule thus far this year, but only one of these have been played- versus John Hopkins in which Coach William’s men were victorious, 5-4. Those with Catholic University, Delaware and Haverford being rain- ed out. After this Northern trip there are two more meets on sche- dule, University of Virginia, there, May 8, and V. P.
