VOLUME XXXII WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, FEBRUARY 13, 1929 No. 34 Generals Back ln Doremus Gym For Homecoming First Game at Home After Western Trip; Go to Roanoke Sat. DAVIDSON HERE WITH GOOD RECORD Wildcats Hold Wins Over Duke and V.P.I; Cal- houn good Washington and Lee stages its basketball homecoming tomorrow night at Doremus Memorial gym, meeting the Davidson College five. The game will afford the Gen- erals an opportunity to get into trim for the more important tilt with V. P. I. at the sports fes- tival in Roanoke Saturday. Da- vidson is not represented in the Southern conference, and the re- uslt will not affect Washington and Lee’s standing. Davidson has earned quite a reputation in the South Atlantic area, holding decisions over Duke and V. P. 1., among others, while North Carolina has beaten them. Calhoun, a Wildcat forward, is the highest point scorer in North Carolina, having a total of eighty- four points in games to date. The result of the fray will enable the Generals to guage their strength as compared with North Carolina and Duke, two confer- ence teams that are being touted as possible winners at Atlanta. Coach Dick Smith has been holding drills all week, further de- veloping the speed of the high scoring offensive. The Kentucky game has been forgotten, and the team is point- ing toward Atlanta with the re- sult of the West Virginia game, a basis of their ability to take powerful quintets for a fall. The scoring of Captain Jim »Lowry has been practically nil in the last few games, but he is expected to break the slump against the Wildcats. Heinie Groop has recovered from his knee injury, and is fit, for ac- tion. The rest of ‘the squad is in good shape, with but minor in- juries, the main detriment. The probable line-up that will go after the tenth victory of the season for Washington and Lee will be: Captain Jim Lowry and Cox, forwards; Williams, center; and Wood, and Groop, quards. The game starts at 7:30. :__o_____ Dr. W. -M. Brown delivered a lecture last Sunday night at Kerr’s Creek before the missionary study class. About thirty-five at- , tended the meeting. _____o______ $25,000 Received For Memorial ' Law Chair Here Nearly $25,000 has been col- lected to establish at Washington and Lee University an endowed Chair of Law in memory of Judge Martin P. Burks, for eigh- teen years professor in pleading and criminal law and dean of the School of Law and for eleven years Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia. This sum, one-third of the a- mount necessary to establish the chair, has been collected from al- umni and friends of the Univer- sity only through letters and tel- egrams. No initial campaign has as yet been started, university officials announced today. Wilbur C. Hall, ’14, Leesburg, Va., prominent member of the state senate and first to suggest this‘ tribute, is directing the ap- peal in Virginia. Herbert Fitz- patrick, ’94, vice-president of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, has charge of campaign organization and of the appeal i_n West Vir- ginia. John W. Davis, ’92, New York City, and E. C. Caffrey, ’09, Hack- ensack, N. J., are directing the work in the Eastern states. K. I. McKay, ’04, Tampa, Fla., is so- liciting the alumni in Florida; Kennedy Helm, ’92, in Kentucky; Judge R. L. Peck, ’95, Springfield, Tenn., in Tennessee; and Walter McElreath, ’92, in Georgia. Doctor Smith Outlines Plans To Express Critical Opinions Coach Smith To Delay Baseball Pratice Here Battery Candidates To Be Called Out After Prep Bas- ket-Ball Tourney Although Virginia and Maryland have already issued their initial call for baseball battery candidates Coach Dick Smith will not get his first view of the representa- tive moundsmen and receivers un- til after the‘ scholasitc basket- ball tournament is over here. Only a few men return from the varsity of last year so that Cap- tain Dick and Cy Twombly will have to rely on the frosh of last season for assistance in round- ing out a first class nine this spring. Captain Gene White will have his time taken up between second base and the pitchers box. Atwood and Radford are pitchers that have remained over from last year’s squad. Hank Slanker is the only regular outfielder that Coach Smith will have around which to build a good secondary defense although “Skeets” Warthen spent some time in the sun-garden. Warthen, however, will prove more valuable for the inner defense this year. In Slanker the Generals have a good ball hawk and a man who knows what to do with the willow. ‘Fields, reserve catcher of last year, is the only remaining back- stopper Twombly has on hand. Litman, a transfer of last year who hasian all-scholastic choice while playing with Erasmus high in New York, may help to solve the problem along with the catch- ers coming up from last season’s frosh nine. Several promising frosh are back this year and are eligible for competition. Among the former yearlings are Leigh Williams, Faulkner, and Thibodeau. Should Williams, the exponent of Thurs- tan’s magic on the basketball court, continue his work around the initial sack in the same man- ner old-timers can come around to view another Hal Chase. -———4) Swimmers Score Double Victory Over Virginia ‘Coach E. P. Twombly’s varsity and freshman swimming teams scored a double victory over the tank teams from the University of Virginia here Saturday. The Blue and White varsity team led by Captain Rod Moffet won from the Cavaliers "by the score of 45 to 15 while the yearling team won over the Virginia team by the score of 40 to 19. The meet was featured by the establishing two new pool records by Blue and White men. Norris Smith of the Generals broke the former record in the 220 yard free style swim by going the length in 2:26 and taking another first place in the fancy diving. Captain Moifet won the 100 yard free style and the 150 yard back stroke as well as leading off the victorious Blue and White relay team. In the yearling meet Staple- ton of the Blue and White fur- nished the thrill by setting a new pool record for the 100 yard free style by swimming it in 0:53:3 and taking another first place in the 50 yard free style. The freshman relay team of Na- chod, Barnes, Stapleton, and Nichols equalled the pool record for the 200 yard free style negoti- ating the distance in 1:41. This meet marked the third consecutive win for Coach Twom- bly’s yearling team as well as the initial victory for the Blue and White varsity. :___o___:_ The Presbyterian Christian En- deavor will meet Sunday even- ing at 7:15 o’clock in the Sun- day school building.

President Answers Question, “How May Students Criticize?” SUGGESTS COLUMN FOR PUBLIC OPINION Hits At Anonymous Publica- tions And Offers Sug- gestion Dr. Henry Louis Smith, presi- dent of the University, was re- cently asked what medium was now left to a student who wish- ed to criticize or condemn meth- ods or policies of the University, now that the Pideltaurus, which has heretofore furnished such an outlet to student opinion, has been officially banned and discontinued by the faculty. Doctor Smith openly stated that student criticism when construc- tive and rightly expressed should find some outlet for expression. He further stated that an an- onymous publication like the Pi- deltaurus enabling every author to hide behind the safety wall of anonymity however personal, in- sulting, and ungentlemanly his at- tacks might be, is nothing less than cowardice, meanness, and un- gentlemanliness united and raised to the “nth” power. Nothing could possibly be more opposed to the traditions, ideals, and customs of Washington and Lee. The problem has been an in- sistent one in the publishing of every newspaper and magazine in the United _ States. It has been finally worked out as follows: “Any citizen desiring to criti- cize or condemn either persons or policies can write such criti- cisms, sign the article with some fictitiousvname or simply x y z, and send it to a newspaper, and with it send his own name. Thus the editor knows -the author of the criticism or denunciation, and the writer stands ready at any time to back up his criticism le- gally or personally should some other citizen find it too insulting to be borne. “No reputable newspaper in the United States will ever publish (Continued on page three) ' Hamplo_1i)Asks . For Class Dues Juniors Urged to Pay Dues For Dance and Banquet, February 21. Stanley Hampton, president of the Junior class, requests that all Juniors see him or Albert Steves to make arrangements for the banquet Thursday, Feb. 21. All members of the class must make known whether they will attend. Only by checks received will it be possible to determine the number to attend, and the con- tract will be made accordingly. Hampton asks that all Juniors co- operate with him in order that de- finite arrangements can be made for the banquet. Admittance cards to Junior prom are being distributed to members who have paid their dues. Mem- bers who have not paid will not be able to attend the dance or par- ticipate in the figure. __jo______ Second Team Takes Game 78-16 Scoring the highest number of points registered in Doremus gym- nasium this year the General “daffodils” submerged the Lex- ington Athletic Club under an avalanche of baskets to win 78-16. This total is one point greater than the varsity registered against Bridgewater. The “daffodil” line-up included three varsity subs and two trans- fers, McLenahan and Dean. Carl Smith, Litman, and Harvey Wil- liams rounded out the quintet. Smith was high scorer for the “daffodils” ‘with 13 field goals, McLenahan dropped in 8, Dcan 7, with Litman and Williams get- ting 5 each.

The mid-winters at Randolph Macon are the leading events of the so- cial calendar at that school. Next Thursday night the Colleg- ians will play for a dance at the Staunton Country club. Plans Advance For Fancy Dress As Dance Nears Twenty-third Ball to be Open- ed With Figure led by Powell GIBSON LEADING MAIN FIGURE Miss Sophia Dunlap of Mo- bile to Take’ Part of Scherezeade third annual Fancy Dress Ball will be opened with a prelimin- ary figure led by Lewis F. Powell, and Miss Sally Barrett, of Rich- mond, assisted by W. Van Gil- bert and Miss Mary Elizabeth Fitzhugh of Bessemer, Ala. The theme and decorations of the Ball are oriental, depicting a scene from the “Arabian Nights.” A throne will be erected at the far end of the gymnasium, designed by Billy Munford. The main figure will be led by T. G. Gibson, and Miss Sophia Dunlap of Mobile, Ala., assisted by E. H. White, and Mrs. White. Miss Dunlap, who will take the part of Scheherazade, the cunning wife of the Sultan Schahriar, will be brought in on a gilt litter. Four freshmen have been chosen to act as slaves, and Miss Dunlap will take her place beside the Sultan T. G. Gibson. The other mem- bers of the figure will protray the characters of the tales which Scheherezade recounts to the Sul- tan. ' Miss Eleanor Fry of Richmond will give a special dance, portray- ing a slave girl. Members of her school of dancing will give a series of oriental dances, such as were described in the “Arabian Nights.” Ted Weems and his Victor re- cording orchestra has been engag- ed to play for the set of dances. Weems and his aggregation have been filling engagements over the country prior to starring in a forthcoming New York musical show. They come to Lexington from Cincinnati, where they are playing at the Hotel Gibson.

Leadership ls Emphasized By Doctor Smith Bulletin Issued By President Is Entitled “Do You Want To Be Counted?” “Do you want to be counted?” the ‘second bulletin of the year issued by Dr. Henry Louis Smith, is an appeal to American youth” to step out from the crowd” and to develop leadership. Doctor Smith opens the bulletin with an appeal to right leader- ship. He points to the fact that although America is enjoying greater material prosperity than any other nation in history, yet the country is overrun with “in a whirlwind of lawlessness, disin- tegration and reconstruction.” This President Smith claims is due to lack of principal leadership. In urging American youth to- ward asserting itself in leadership Doctor Smith enjoins on all as- pirants to step from the crowd and develop individualism. “To be the typical ‘frat-man’, the ideal ‘lodge-man’, the zealous ‘joiner’, to agree always with the bunch and never fight anybody—— this may be a flower—strewn path of ease and pleasure and friction- less friendship. It is never the road to personal power, to civic usefulness,.or to genuine construc- tive leadership,” said Doctor Smith in emphasizing his first pointer. After indivualism has been de- veloped, “swing the crowd your way,” exclaimed the president. Don’t be classed with those of the “group-slavery” which is one of the most deplorable campus conditions existing» today, said Doctor Smith.

The Cadets scored their last three points in the unlimited division when the Augusta entry was awarded a decision over Mitch- ell. Harris and Tilson advanced an- other step toward gaining a sea- son’s clear title by scoring heavy victories. Spring Styles on Washington and Lee Campus Expected to be Conservative Again This Year In accord with the tradition of conservative dress at Washington and Lee, spring styles on this campus will probably contain no startling innovations or departures from the accustomed mode. Several of the leading student furnishers in Lexington collabor- ated in securing the material for these prognostications, and ad- vanced their information of cur- rent style trends in their applica- tion to proboble styles this spring at Washington and Lee. Suits will be in grays, Oxford grays, and browns; chiefly the former two. They will probably not appear in extremely light shades, and the coats will be of both the two and three button types. Topcoats, which are not expected to have a great market, will be post popular in dark blue, although tweeds and other fabrics will have some sale._ Tan More Popular Hats of both the snap and roll brim varieties will be worn. It is expected that tan will be much more popular than last spring. Slightly sharper toes with more ornament will distinguish shoes of the coming season from those of last spring. They will be in tan and black, and black and white will be the popular sport shoe. Shirts will show greater change in design than any other articles of men’s apperel. The new cross- wise striping system will probab- ly achieve great popularity among the buyers of colofed shirts. A short stiff bosom to show above the vest is one of the interesting innovations of the large shirt manufacturers.

Va., 42 to 37. It marked the first victory for the Generals in four attempts, and it came over one of the strongest basketball teams ever put out by West Virginia. Washington and Lee held the advantage at half time by the narrow margin of 19 to 18, with the lead see-sawing throughout the majority of the game. The work of Leigh Williams at the pivot post was the feature of the game, with his ability to cage thirteen points, and get the tip-oi? on every occasion. West Virginia outscored the Generals from the field, and Wash- ington and Lee’s marksmanship from the penalty line, gave them the decision. The Generals collected fourteen fouls out of twenty-one attempts, with Lowry, Wood and Jacobs, having perfect records. Cox, sen- sational sophomore forward, was the best from the field, account- ing for six double-deckers. Jacobs, playing in the role of relief forward, performed meri- torious service, getting two field goals and two successful throws from the 15-foot mark. The aggressiveness of Wood was commented upon by the West Virginia authorities, and it was his fight retrieving loose balls to turn them into Washington and Lee scores that helped turn the tide in the Generals’ favor. Taylor, Mountaineer substitute, who was‘ rushed into the game late in the first half, was the lead- ing light for the Blue and Gold, ringing up eleven points. » A crowd of more than 1500 peo- ple saw the game which was played at the spacious Vanity Fair. It was announced after the game that the 1930 contest be- tween the two‘ teams will also’ take place at Huntington.

Rule and Bolton In Tie For High Scoring Honors (.0 *5! When the Varsity matmen meet North Carolina State and Vir- ginia Poly this week, the outcome of the matches for Captain “Shor- ty” Rule and Dick Bolton will probably have a deciding bearing as to who will win the silver lov- ing cup offered by Coach A. E. Mathis to the season high-point scorer. Both grapplers are now tied with eight points apiece. By gaining decisions in the Virginia contest, Kaplan and Bel- ser remained deadlocked for third honors with a season’s total of six each. Hall, with a fall over his Cavalier opponent, has a to- tal of five. Captain Rule gained his advan- tage in the first two matches of the year, registering a fall at Princeton and a decision at West Point. Belser’s decisions over Princeton and Virginia placed him in the running.

Elimination of pointless physical torture has always marked the development of worthwhile institutions. The Christian re- ligion sprang from martyrdoms. History records that the executioner failed with three strokes of his ax to sever the head of St. Cecelia, and that she slowly bled to death. The Roman empire stained pages of history with the blood of gladiators, and with the gory sacrifice of women to wild beasts. It seems that human nature demands less sadistic amusement as it matures. It is _only after such vain practices are discarded that the highest peak in the development ‘ of these institutions is reached. Speeches, essays, perorations, and edi- torials have been composed to prove that the modern college fraternity has proved itself a valuable social ‘institution. Admit- ting this, the universal practice of beating, administering electrical shocks, etc., have long marked the infant stage of the social fraternity, as an institution. Fraternities at Washington and Lee be- gin to realize the adolescent appearance of “horse play.” They have taken a progressive step. _____o.______ AN ABOMINABLE CONDITION “Washington and Lee! Let me see? Yes, I have heard of that university. It is the col- lege where the boys are always so neat and speak to everyone.” i That is the reputation Washington and Lee has everywhere, whether it be in Maine, Florida, or California or the vast wind- swept spaces between. It is a very desirable reputation to have, but we feel should these people from Maine, Florida, or California come on our campus today they would say, “the boys are dressed quite neatly, but their campus——it is a sight.” We are referring to the condition that exists in front of the gymnasium and a- round Graham dormitory. The front of the campus is neat, but the appearance in the rear of the college furnishes a gastly sight. Automobiles have cut huge tracks in ‘front of the gym. The sod which was once ‘there is gone and there is nothing left but an unsightly mess of mud and car tracks. Cars park in the grass in fair weather and during down-pours. There is no request to “keep cars off the grass” and there is no means to notify car owners that they should not drive across the grass. This thoughtless conduct should be remedied’ at once. Have you passedbehind Graham dor- mitory recently? Then you have seen the trash and empty pop bottles that have ac- cumulated there since September. Students in the dorm have been careless about emp- tying their waste. Instead of using the trash baskets in rooms and in halls they have found windows preferable. The janitors employed by the University seem to think they are employed to keep halls swept and rooms brushed out. Whether there is any provision for them to keep the territory around the dormitories clean we do not know. But if there is no provision something should be done to clean up the back-campus. If Washington and Lee is to maintain its reputation as a university where there is a beautiful campus the entire campus must be kept spick and span, not merely the grounds in front of Washington col- lege, the library, the Lee chapel, and Tuck- er hall. Whoever is responsible for the abomina- ble conditions should make it his point to rid Washington and Lee of a ghastly sight. The RING-TUM PHI most sincerely urges that some immediate action be taken. Maj COLLEGE» HUMOR IN DUTCH College Humor has lost its reprint rights over the Midwest College Comics associa- tion. Last year western college comics took the same action. Possibly the south and east will follow in the steps of the midwest and west. Undergraduate humorists from the two first named sections decided that the por- hibiting of College Humor reprint rights would be necessary to prevent an unjust misrepresentation of college life by over- emphasising prohibition and sex jokes. An- other reason was that the professional hu- morist magazine represented itself to na- tional advertisers as having an exceding- ly large circulation among college students, thus greatly reducing the amount of na- tional advertising in college publications- a most necesasry income for a publication. To us both reasons seem indeed logical. For the past several years our elder, pe- dantic citizens have seen fit to criticise the “unsavory conditions” at American colleges. Much of their criticism has been quite un- just. But so long as liquor, sex, and other- wise suggestive jokes are allowed to be printed in campus publications and reprint- ed in College Humor, we can expect the el- der generation to believe our campus life is “morally offensive.” We, who are enrolled in universities, know the conditions that exist. Most elderly people know only of conditions which they read about or hear discussed. They believe them to be true and are too satisfied in their belief to go see for themselves. The second offense that the professional humor magazine has made is of little con- sequence to the readers, but to the editors and business managers who operate the pub- lications this is_ the greatest hurdle to sur- mount. By College Humor’s representation to national advertisers, foreign advertising in college publications is at a low ebb. Editors frequently wish to secure special features, picture services or even enlarge the number of pages to allow for thelive news on hand, but with a businessmanager checking every move to cut expenses, it is impossible. Foreign advertising would make it possible to secure these special fea- tures. ' L For the reputation of the college, the college's attendants and college administra- tors the first reason for this abolition seems well founded. VEditors and business man- agers and future lsucces of publications must be considered, so the second is without doubt well founded. With the professional humorous maga- zine runing a national “advertising hook- up” with college papers it seems that Col- lege Humor is in for considerable more trouble in the near future. MOM THE CLAY COURTS With the coming of spring and warmer weather work should soon begin on the ten- nis courts, which are now in a deplorable condition. Most of last spring the courts were in very poor playing condition, and un- less some work is begun soon the clay will not be in any better condition this spring. There are many students who are not fitted for baseball, track, crew, and do not care for hand-ball, but like tennis. It .is for these men especially that these courts should be kept in A-1 condition. ______o_____ HER PROMOTION, OUR LOSS The resignation of Mrs. Clyde More- head as superintendent of the Jackson Mem- orial hospital comes as a surprise to stu- dents of Washington and Lee, and her de- parture will be keenly felt. Since taking over the hospital Mrs. Morehead has made many lasting‘ friends among the student body and loss will be severely felt. Every student who has been confined to the hospital since Mrs. Morehead became in charge has grownto admire and respect her. Her tenderness and devotion to every ' patient has won great admiration and praise. We shall feel her loss, but console ourselves by realizing that her great work here in Lexington has earned her a distinct pro- motion, for the Piedmont sanitarium where she goes is a state institution and a much larger infirmary than the one in Lexing- ton. ’ When Mrs. Morehead leaves she will carry with her the best wishes and confidence of success from the RING-TUM PHI. May she be held as high in the minds of her new patients as she is with her Washington and Lee men. Over the vi‘ Coffee Cup FOLLOWING THE reaction in the New York stock markets last week the Senate Monday passed a resolution requesting the Federal Reserve board to submit to it recommendations for rem- edying marginal gambling with reserve funds. The vigilant Sena- ator Heflin of Alabama intro- duced the resolution and found it met not 9.. single dissenting vote. A ‘ It * * It * WHILE SENATORS discussed the reslution the New York stock exchange saw its total sales fall below the 4,000,000 mark. An unusual occurrance since the big bull makets of the past six months. Last summer 9. 4,000,000 share day was considered excep- tional. Today such business is regarded as dull.‘ It is this in- crease in stock transaction that has caused senatorial comment. * # =I 1! II MEXICO ONCE MORE took the limelight Sunday when a bomb wrecked a train carrying Presi- dent Portes Gil. Two coaches and a locomotive were thrown from the rails by the explosion.

I‘ 1' ¥ A STORY LAID in a little prin- cipality similar to the famous Graustark. visioned by George Barr Mccutcheon, the novelist, came into the day’s news yes- terday. Prince John of Lichten- stein,‘ a principality hidden far up in the Alps died. He was 88 years old. For more than 70 years the old monarch ruled his little territory. V His reign was so exceptional that he has been termed “the good.” ‘ i I! i * t WE _IN AMERICA are inclined to think of Europe as a poverty stricken nation, but when we read that Prince John leaves an estate of $20,000,000 it‘ appears there is money in Europe. The differ- ence seems to be in the way the public spot light is handled. In this country a. person of such wealth would be in the news from time to time, but in Europe this old monarch, his money, his good work, and his character are left to the notice of only those who were immediately connected with the principality. * # It Ill * McCUTCHEON in his novels pictured a model principality. To the many millions of Americans who read his books, and continue to read his books, the setting was a delightful imaginary spot. Little did most of them know that a ideal principality, where the ruler paid the taxes, existed. —~—?0 Prof. R. B.

Cox, aver- aging nearly 13 points per game. is leading Dick Smith's basket sharpshooters with 139 points for the eleven games played, while Williams has pulled up to a tie with Captain Jim Lowry for run- ner-up honors, each having 127 to his credit. Lowry showed the way to his teammates throughout the first eight games, but Cox caught him in the ninth battle, that with Maryland here a week ago. The Blue and White captain had scored as high as 26 points in one game, caging 13 from the floor against Randolph-Macon to hit his mark, and did not fall below nine in any of the early engagements. He showed the strain of the cam- paign during the past week, how- ever, and totalled only nine points during the Maryland, Kentucky and West Virginia games. Sens- ing the temporary fading eye in his captain, and desirous of hav- ing him regain it before the Southern Conference tournament at Atlanta the first of March, Coach Smith has let Jacobs re- live Lowry during the recent bat- tles, and the diminutive forward has added a doceu points’ inwhis last three court entries. In the eleven games played to date, the Generals have scored a total of 521 points, for an aver- age of over 47 per game. Thus the local hoop artists have main- tained their “point-a-minute title with a good margin of safety. at the same time holding their op- ponents to a 25 ‘average, with a total opposition count of 271. The Kentucky and West Virginia scores of 31 and 37 served to pull the rival fives’ average up from 23, where it had stood for several weeks. Only five battles remain before the Generals will call the regu- lar playing season closed and take a two-day rest before going into the tournament in quest of of- ficial Southern Conference hon- ors.

I ' Leadership Is- Emphasized By Doctor Smith (Continued from page one) tow-boat inclinations and making yourself a “self-propelled steam- engine” are then given in conclu- sion. To watch your daily health habits, to weigh all assertions against authority, to govern your social life upon the principle you know to be right, to be alert while others are drowsy, to be prepared by daily application and to conquer those things you hate most, are the mileposts to be pissed in reaching effective American leadership, Doctor Smith concludes in his treatise. This bulletin has been sent to more than 300 high schools and preparatory institutions through- out the country, especially concen- trated in Southern, states. It is issued by the University. ___:_o___ Dr. G. D.

The first figure practice was held ’T.ués:day night. There will be another" practice’ Thursday night (By Henry Mackensie) Football is about to supplant bullfighting as the most popular form of sport in Mexico accord- ing to Doctor Bennett, director of athletics at Sewanee, who was sent by the Southern Conference Coaches association to teach the fundamentals of the game to Mex- ican college students at the lat- ter’s request. Doctor Bennett spent almost three weeks in the south- ern country teaching the game at various colleges. Doctor Bennett stated that he was amazed at the turnout for practice at each of the universi- ties he attended and that “our Latin-American neighbors" take readily to the game. While in Mex- ico, he was received by the pres- ident of the republic who became so enthused over the possibilities of football that he promised to call a meeting of the rectors of all the leading universities in Mexico for the purpose of or- ganizing a. conference for the pro- motion of intercollegiate athlet- lcs. It was the head of Coach Ma- this as well as the brawn of the team members which enabled the ginia Saturday night. After Hall had thrown his man in the 155 pound class 11 to 8 in Mathis saw of his men remaining matches would win for his team provided that Virginia would be unable to score another fall. local wrestelers to defeat Vir-i and the score stood the Generals’ favor, that a fall for one in any of the three and Lee since Mathis took charge of the teams. Speaking of wrestling, Coach Mathis has a set of studs on his freshman combination. Considering the fact that only two have ever had any experience in competi- tion before this year, next sea- son's varsity should be one of the greatest threats in the con- ference. Duke will come to the front in its first real crack at a. Champ- ionship since its admission to the conference when it takes on the V- P- 1- grappling squad Saturday night. The Gobblers claimed the conference championship last year and are well on their way to re- taining it this season. The mat- men are the pride and joy of the Blue Devil institution and have scored a couple of very im- pressive victories this winter.

The information thus received was most helpful, the president said. “Any irregularities, lapses, fail- ures, wrong attitudes, breaking of time-honored traditions, ete., whether due to professors or to individual students or to college organizations, might thus receive severe and useful criticism when- ever such criticism became neces- sary. In this case, however, there would be no element of meanness, cowardice, or unfairness. “Unlicensed criticism without responsibility, like unlicensed lib- erty with no responsibility, is dangerous to all, is destructive to all wise -self-government, and es- pecially to an institution main- taining and perpetuating the stan- dards of honor that have disting- uished Washington and Lee,” Doc- tor Smith concluded.

Lectures Traditional antagonism which characterized relations early the century between V. M. I. and W. & L. has changed to coopera- tion and fraternalism here. Engi- neering students of the schools will jointly attend lectures this month. An outburst of athletic rivalry in 1908 suspended relations be- tween the Virginia Military In- stitute and Washington and Lee University. The schools, though their campuses adjoin and both are situated on the same ridge of ground, have had little inter- course with each other since then. The top of a mountain just out of town has bee called “student rock” since the students of one of these schools chased a large part of the students of the other school up there for an all-night sojourn years ago. As the years have passed the old quarrels have died. Today cadets and students are as friendly towards each other as though fellow students of the same university. The final chapter restoring am- iable relationss appears to have been written with _today’s announ- cement. And side by side in Jack- son Memorial hall at V. M.
