Q : BY THE STUDENTS, FOR THE UNIVERSITY I AND LEE UNIVERSITY WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1928 For Championship I This Week NUMBER MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA GANILSP TO CLOSE 1923 BASEBALL SEASON Generals Meet Old Liners In Double Header Friday; Cavaliers Saturday SPOTTS OUT OF LINE UP Generals’ Star First Sacker In Hos- pital With a Case of Blood Poison In Leg The Generals hit the stiffest part of their baseball schedule this week end when they take on the Univers- ity of Maryland in a double header here Friday afternoon and journey to Charlottesville on Saturday to engage the University of Virginia for the second time this season. Should the Generals win all three games, they will be firmly establish- ed at the top rung of the Tri-State ladder and practically certain of copping the League flag. The three games will be a serious tax on Coach Smith’s varsity hurling corps and either Captain Folliard or Osterman will have to do yoeman’s work to bring Washington and Lee out on top. The present outlook is that Osterman will get the call in both ends of the double bill against the Old Liners, while Folliard will oppose Virginia in the final game of his collegiate career. Washington and Lee will be furth- er weakened by the loss of first base- man Babe Spotts. The big General first sacker is in the hospital with an infected leg and will be unable to play against Maryland. There is a remote chance, however, that he will get a chance to show his wares against the Cavaliers on Saturday. The rest of the Washington and Lee lineup will be the same that op- posed V. P. I. last week. White will hold down the keystone sack, Eigle- bach the shortfield, with Warthen protecting the territory around the hot-'1.'orner. ~- Slanker is certain’-to be in the center field post, and when a right hander is pitching for the opposition, Hickman will be station- ed in left. When a southpaw does the flinging, Lowdon will occupy the left pasture. If Tips gets the call behind the bat, Jones will be in right field, and the same plan will work .in the reverse. With the per- sonnel of the team arranged in such a manner, Coach Smith is able to get the full benefit of his surplus batting power. Maryland will come to Lexington with a fast, well-rounded ball club. They claim a victory over Virginia earlier in the year, and are coming south determined to raise their stand- ing in the Tri-State League at the expense of Washington and Lee and V. M. I. The Old Liners still have several league games on their card and still have a remote chance to grab the pennant. There has been no hint as to who will occupy the mound for Maryland, but it is cer- tain that they are just as hard pressed in this department as the Generals for they have a game with V. M. I. on Saturday. Either Stephens or Melrose will be on the firing line for the Cavaliers Saturday. Melrose has been the on- ly man to white wash the Generals so far this year, but in recent games he has been soundly rapped by his opponents, especially Duke. Stephens is the captain of the Virginia club and may get the last crack at Wash- ington and Lee. Virginia at present has the lead in the Tri-State race with seven victories and three reverses, while is in second place with four wins and three loss- es. If the Generals win. twice from Maryland, the race will end in true Frank Merriwell style with the “Old Rivals” battling in the final game. -—?—O CALYX TO BE MAILED DUE TO LATE DELIVERY The 1928 Calyx cannot be deliver- ed until June 15th or 20th, due to the fact that the late delivery of senior pictures to the engraver did not allow sufficient time for thme printers. A mailing list including each stu- dent’s address will be given to the Benson Printing Company and the books will be forwarded as soon as they leave the press. Books for which the subscriptions are only half paid, will be sent col- lect for the amount due. Students who have not yet subscribed, and wish to do so, are requested to see R. D. Powers, business manager, in the next few days. COACH R. A. SMITH “Captain Dick" will have an opportunity to win the initial championsliip of the Tri-State league, whose organization he suggested, in the games with Maryland and Virginia this week. Buena Vi.;aTIVews Edited by Students Of Journalism Class The class in Journalism 112, Com- munity Newspaper Problems. edited Friday's issue of the Buena Vista News. Wilton Garrison served as editor, H. M. Thompson as faculty advisor, and the staff consisted of V. C. Jones, C. H. Wilson, Albert Steves, R. P. Carter, M. Mumford and J. W. Davis. A thousand copics of the paper will be sent to selected journalism teachers, newspaper men, and to ev- ery small community newspaper in the South. One copy is being worked onto an art poster which will be sent to La Pressa, international printing exhibit, at Cologne, Germany this summer. Members of the stafl were in Buera Vista from nine a. n1. to two p. m the first three days of the week, gathering the 17 columns of local news the paper carried. They got all manner of news stories, rang- ing from those about high school and Southern Seminary May Day fetes, to the one about the lament- able fact that the city jail had no prisoners. Until the journalism students got hold of it, the Buena Vista News was far from looking like a modern newspaper. Adds were spread over two-thirds of the front page; the content of the news columns was “boiler plate” with sometimes a half- column of local news in the entire paper; the news was printed in 12 point type, the size used in text- books, because, as the editor said, “It fills space well.” The students persuaded advertis- ers to give up, for this issue, their paid space on the front page. All “boiler plate” was put aside and the students filled the paper with news of real local interest. Display heads and modern make- up gave the front pagc the appear- ance of a cross between that of the Roanoke Times, the Lynchburg News, and the New York World. On page two “Wilt” Garrison had his editori- al~ page consisting of five snappy editorials printed in a two column spread. Page three had a column of locals and 11 additional news stories. On the fourth page two long feature stories, and two short news stories completed the paper. Bad luck had its place as well as good luck, for on Thursday night, right after the paper had gone to press, the Inayor of the town resign- ed. The staff is still bemoaning their luck in having the biggest news story of the week break two hours too late. _____0:__ FINAL INVITATIONS A number of leather bound copies of the Finals invitations have been left over from the reserved sale and will be put upon general open sale this morning at the co-op, it was stated by R. F. Howe, president of Finals yesterday.

The game with the Old Liners was the freshmen’s third engagement in three days. Thursday they swamped the Massanutten Academy nine by a 14-2 count to open their northern trip. The following day they were defeated by the strong Georgetown, freshman nine in Washington by a 5-1 score. Saturday’s game with the Old Liners was their final engage-3 Inent. The freslinian record for the y;11r shows three victories for Geigals against four defeats, with one game ending in a tie. Victories were scored over V. P. I., Roanoke high, and Massanutten. Teams that outscored Captain Eddie’s men were S. M. A., who won twice from the Little Generals, Georgetown, and Maryland. A 15 inning affair with the Potomac State Normal School from West Virginia ended at 5-5 with darkn(*ss interfering. The frosh will probably not cnter a claim for the Big Four champion—, ship as rain forced the cancellation of all but one of the four scheduled clashes with Virginia and V. P. I. It is the first time in many years that the Little Gencrals have failed to play their Cavalier‘ rivals. Coach’ Davis expects to find next year’s varsity using many of the men from his squad of this season. Charley Taliaferro, hard hitting catcher, who was elected captain be- fore the Maryland clash, will be big help next spring in filling in the loss of Horse Tips and Johnny Jones, both of whom will end their career . . .. .. ) on the diamond against '\/II'.3;II1Ia Saturday. Mount and Sutton should be strong candidatrs for Coach Smith’s pitching staff next year. The most promising inficldcrs for next season are Jacob, leading hitter of the frosh nine, Leigh Williams, Jen- kins and Thibadiau. Among the outfield: rs who look good, are Richardson and Faulkner.

' Shortly after taking the oath of of-_ fice it became necessary that the.- President purchase a new coach. Be-, cause of the dignity of his position, Filliiiore thought the coach should be somewhat out of the ordinary, and sent an old White House servant, Ed- ward Moran by name, to shop about. Moran eventually learned that a wealthy citizen of Washington was about to leave the city and wished to dispose of his elegant equipage, which seemed to him quite the thing he was seeking. The President viewed the coach and liked it immensely, but “How will it do for a President of the United States to be riding around in a second-hand carriage?” he asked Moran. Moran could not resist the oppor tunity. “Sure," he replied, “.V011'1‘0 only a second-hand President.” Fillmore thought this remark was one of the wittiest he had ever heard. and told it on himself so often that‘ he became known among his friends as the “second-hand President." in- cidentally, he bought the coach and used it during his three—year tenure of oi’fice.~Bi-ooklyn Eagle. Good Friday Beliefs in Parts of England How Good Friday got its name is a matter that is often discussed. The word Friday is really the strangest part of the name of so solemn a date in the Christian calendar. Few realize that in saying Friday they are com- memorating a pagan deity, Freya, the Scandinavian Venus, In France Good Friday is called Passion Friday; in Germany, Quiet Friday; and in Italy, the Blessed Fri- day. Good Friday in former days enabled the careful citizen to save his fire in- surance policy, for it was believed that an egg laid on that day would extin- guish any fire on which it was thrown. Bread baked on Good Friday was supposed to have its protective value, for it was believed that three loaves put in a heap of corn would prevent the latter from being devoured by rats and mice. An infant born on Good Friday was supposed to possess the power of curing fevers. There are some things to be avoided on Good Friday. West—counti'»y peo- ple consider it a sin to wash any clothes on that day. They declare that should you do so you are likely to lose your most valued possession be- fore the year is out.—-London Answers.

An Old Map The family was enjoying a delicious pineapple dessert for dinner. A young- er ineinber of the circle inquired of his wise father where most of the pine- apple came from. The father ex- plained that inost of it came from the Hawaiian islands in the “Atl:in1ic" ocean. An older daughter told her father he was niisiaken about their location. After a heated argument an old geography was found in the attic. The daughter soon found the Hawaiian islands in the Pacific ocean. “Now, daddy, what you got to say? Who was right?” said the counterpart of father. “That's an old geography. We'll have to buy us a new map,” replied the invincible father. Believe It or Not! After a great deal of patient effort the rooster rolled an ostrich egg into the chicken run.

But, in the interests of the country generally and ofir own little community in particular, I should like to show you what can be done in other parts of the world by enterpi-is. ing birds imbued with the true spirit of unselfish loyalty.” Phrase Long in Use “Full as a tick" refers to the habits of the creatures called ticks, which are biologically degraded species of the same family as spiders.

GOBBLERS The tennis team closed its season with a decisive victory over V. P. I. at Blacksburg Saturday. Six men made the trip including Captain Mill- er, Manager Thomas, Dobbs, Turk, Gooch and Jacobs. Dobl:-s’ single match was the only encounter won by the Techmen. This was lost by a close score. in the third set. This match marked the last time that Miller and Dobbs will play under the Blue and White colors, both having finished their three years on the team. This loss leaves Turk, Thomas, Gooch and Jacobs as an excellent nucleus to build the team around next year, The 1929 captain will be elected soon. _m__0 __ NORTHWESTERN DEAN SAYS STUDENTS ARE NOW SPECIALIZING The college student who used to work his way through school by washing dishes, waiting on table or shoveling ashes now plays a saxo- phone, acts as an expert secretary, or serves as a crack salesman, says James W. Armstrong, dean of men at Northwestern University. Even the pa1*t—time worker, says this dean, has become a specialist, and no long- cr need scurry about in search of any sort of work that may be open to him. The working students, he says, are average in their g'ra'.lcs, and scarcely ever fail. Dean Arm- strong credits the student workers with an appreciation of education unknown to students who are sup- ported. . V 0_____ i Mr. Smith came home very late for supper one evening.

The cast will be selected tomorow by Al Collison, president-elect of the tion picture films and news agencies, in less than three days after its oc- currence the features will be shown all over the East and West on movie screens. The Associated Press and the United Press will also car- ry the story in its columns on Sun- day morning, with illustrated fea- tures to follow later in all the larg- er dailies throughout the United States. Through these agencies both the Troubadours and Washington and Lee will secure nation wide pub- licity and fame. The entire pageant is to be direct- ed by Tommy Thames, and is pro- duced by Thames and Gibson. The pantomime will explained to the as- semblage by Thames at the mega- phone, and this will constitute Tom- my’s last public appearance this year in connection witht the Troubadours. Costumes will be furnished by the William Beck and Company of Cin- cinnati, and two large loads of these will be delivered in Lexington on NATURAL BRIDGE WHERE PAGEANT WILL OCCUR Troubadours, and Tommy Thames, who has been president during 1927- 28, Approximately 28 to 80 people will be in the cast.

These are: Miss Harriet Hogshead, Miss Beth Ware, Miss Lucile Grasty, Miss Mary Grasty. “Toot” Gibson, business manager of the Troubadous this year, and “Tommy” Thames, president, have arranged for five news reels com- panies to be on hand instead of three, as formerly announced.

One hundred and nine delegates from twelve different states registered. As to the success of the conven- tion, the reflections of the executive heads, as well as the principal speak- ers, were all optimistic. Prof. R. B. Ellard, who engineered the assemb- ly, stated that though there were several dissappointments and mis- haps, yet the convention, as a whole, was very successful. Several changes in the schedule for next year are being discussed, mainly regarding the handling of the annual section of discussion. It is hoped that a competent high school instructor can be obtained to discuss this phase of the press work from the high school’s standpoint. Hereto- fore the college viewpoint has been given solely. Plans are being made now to secure outstanding speakers for this function in the scholastic life, and it is ascertained that next year’s as- sembly will be even larger and more beneficial than the one of 1928. ______0;_: “It stands to reason,” said the Wit as the first debator arose.

Immediately after the conclusion of the pageant, Governor Harry Flood Byrd will address the assemb- lage. The pantomime will be free of charge. A crowd of over 8,000 people, the largest ever assembled at Natural Bridge, is expected to witness the performance. On Saturday night a banquet and reception for the Troubadours will take place, followed by a dance in the Tea Room, the scene of so many famous dances last spring. The Southern Collegians, led by Toot Gib- son, will play for this affair. All Washington and Lee students are urged, due to the historical inter- est of the program, to witness the pageant and back the Troubadours in the venture.

He names three tasks which the law school must accomplish: it must train lawyers to practice their profession; the lawyer must be prepared to ful- fill his creative duty of maintaining and furthering the law as an in- strument of justice; and the law school must carry forward research work. These tasks, says Dean Pound, are one and inseparable. He divides the research function into the writ- ing of books on various items of law, a work which law school teach- ers have been doing and should con- tinue to do; and the other branch JACKSON’S I The Barber Shop With a Conscience OPPOSITE NEW THEATRE NELSON STREET Null’ Said iii Golda: , Wednesday, May 16 Benefit W. & L.
