VOLUME XXXII WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, SATURDAY, MATRTCH 23, I929 NUMBER 45 Aliorseplay And Beating €011!!! 1 Before Councill Action Deferred Until Next Meeting Of Fraternity Representatives. MAY FOLLOW ACTION OF NATIONAL GROUP Which Opposed Horseplay, But Left Choice Of En- forcement To Chapters. The Interfraternity Council, at their meeting last week, had the matter of horseplay and beating brought to their attention, and deferred it to be discussed at their next meeting. Action to be taken now depends entirely upon the concrete attitude of local fra- ternities. The National Iiiterfraternity Conference, a body composed of representatives of sixty-five fra- ternities‘, went on record at their annual meeting last Thanksgiv- ing as being strongly opposed to the spirit and practice ofihorse- play, beating, and shines outside the chapter houses. This body has no legislative power, such being left to individual chapters, but this attitude on the part of a group of national fi'ate‘i‘-nity leaders shows a nation-wide feel- ing against horseplay, and a re- vulsion on the part of those fra- ternity leaders against the prac- tice. Body States Point. The national body recognizes that nothing can be done until in- V dividual fraternity men come to see the mockery of fraternal spirit involved in horseplay. It is a question of the individual’s atti- tude, it says, perhaps a question of educating the individual to a point where proper perspective may be gained. Custom, person- al feeling, the play impulse and other factors removed from horse- play leave little. The question is whether to retain those feelings, whether they are worthy. The national body, an advisory board, has made its attitude clear, and action must now be taken by 10- cal chapters. This has already been done, as has been pointed out, at Ohio State, University of Texas, and many others, by stu- dent action. None Favor Horseplay. Continuing the interviews with leaders of campus thought, the Ring-tum Phi reporters found practically no opinion in favor of horseplay. Aside from personal feelings on the subject, every one of‘ those interviewed expressed opinions that from a standpoint of general good the abolition of horseplay of the Washington and Lee campus is desirable. Follow- ing are the opinions of some of the men interviewed. C. C. Hutchinson, Jr.—The campus would greatly benefit if horseplay ‘were discontinued. It has no place in the modern uni- versity. T. J. Sugrue—-“Horseplay” is the indulgence of imbecilic minds which cannot think of any other device to divert their spare hours. I hope some definite action may be taken against it. Deplores “Shines.” '1'. G. Gibson»—I believe that public “shines” are rapidly be- coming a thing of the past. They are manifestations of the old “rah—rah” college days, and should be buried with the past. W. V. Gilbert—I am opposed to public “shines” of any kind and will heartily support any campaign to eliminate them. M. Seligman—You may quote me as being entirely in favor with any move to eliminate horseplay. The sadistic complex which seems to blossom among some of the less enlightened members of the University should be utterly stamped out. o ALUMNUS GOES TO DUKE. Dr. Wiley D. Forbus, a grad- uate of Washington and Lee and Johns Hopkins universities, will become professor of pathology at Duke university, it has been an- nounced. He is at present asso- ciate in pathology at Johns Hop- kins. ' 5. Kay Kyser and his orchestra will play for the Easter dances here April 19 and 20, it was an- nounced today by Peyton Bush, Kay Kyser Will Play For Dances Here At Easter Popular Orchestra Played Last Easter And During Thanksgiving. Kay Kyser and his orchestra has been signed to play the Eas- ter dances here April 19 and 20, according to announcement made by Peyton Bush, president of the Cotillion club. Kyser’s orchestra played here last Easter and for the Thanks- giving set of dances this year. He has a snappy aggregation, and is popular at V. M.’ I., Virginia and other colleges where he has played. The Victor Recording company recently released a record by Kay Kyser and his orchestra, “Broken Dreams of Yesterday” and “Tell Her,” which has become well known. On account of the change of date of the Easter set of dances a larger crowd of girls and stu- dents is expected than in the past. Dr. Kramer Will Address Students In Chapel Monday Dr. Frank H. Kramer, of the Gettysburg college faculty, will deliver a brief talk at a volun- tary assembly on Monday at 11:30 a. m. in the Lee chapel, on “Some Recent Progressive Developments in Education.” All students and faculty members with their fami- lies, who are free at this hour, besides interested townspeople, are cordially invited to be pres- ent. Dr. Kramer is president of the Pennsylvania State Education as- sociation, secretary and treasurer of the Professional Fraternities’ conference, and national vice- president of Kappa Phi Kappa. He has recently toured extensive- ly in Europe, and made _a care- ful study of their school systems. Phi Psi’s To Act As Pall Bearers For McCorkle Fraternity Seniors To Assist In Burial Of Alumnus Tomorrow. FORMER STUDENT DIES IN NEW YORK ELEVATOR Attended School Here In 1896-798; [Graduated From Columbia Law School. Funeral services for Henry Mc- Corkle, 55, of the Manufacturers Trust company of New York and a former student of Washington and Lee, will be conducted from the First Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon at 2:30, the Rev. Dr. James Murray officiat- ing. l‘/Ir. McCorkle was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, senior members of which will act as pall bearers. Interment will be at Rockbridge Baths. Died In Elevator. Mr. McCorkle died suddenly of heart trouble Thursday while he was in an elevator of a downtown office building in New York. He was born in Lexington in 1874, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. McCorkle. He is sur- vived by Mrs. McCorkle and two brothers, the Rev. Emmett W. McCorkle of Waynesboro, Va., and Walter L. McCorkle of New York. He has no relatives in Lexington at present. Went to Columbia. Mr. McCorkle attended Wash- ington and Lee‘ for three years, 1896, ’97 and ’98, before leaving for Columbia university .of New York where he graduated from the law school. He has been connected with the Manufacturers Trust company for several years. .M..j()._::— field Discussions At Fraternities One Hundred Per Cent At- tendance Is Record Of Three Houses. The Pi Kappa Phi’s, the Sigma Nu’s, and the Phi Gamma Delta’s, each with one hundred per cent attendance, are leading the fra- ternity discussion group competi- tion. Eleven houses started their dis- cussions February 28, holding half-hour meetings once a week. Next week will see the final meet- ings, and the attendance cup will be awarded the week after Easter vacations. Dr. Murray of the Presbyterian church, Dr. Potts of the Baptist church, Dr. Farrar, Dr. Shelley, and Dr. Howe, and Messrs. Funk- houser, Patterson, Morton, Pax- ton, Latture, and Gilliam have been leading the fraternity groups. Discussions have ranged from sociological problems such as marriage, to religion, ethics, and experiences in the Congo. Spring Causes Downfall Of Bridge, But Horseshoe Pitching Returns again, and Lessons are Spring has come with it spring fever. neglected and work is allowed to accumulate, while students rest in the sun and dream of Easter, Finals and what to do this sum- mer, All afternoon and in the early evening victrola music, chiefly of the sentimental sort, is’heard from the front porches of the fraternity houses and the win- dows of the dormitories. Gene Austin has never sung more than he has in Lexington the past week. Not all are content to bask and loaf, however. Some few are iardy enough to fight off the im- pulse to loaf and are busy—throw- ing horseshoes! Backyards from me end of the town to the other are crowded with contestants and in-lookers. Shoes that once graced Rockbridge farm horses have been pressed into service for the amusement of Washington I and Lee students who are too tired to study. Bridge is forgotten. Men who were once late for meals, finish- ing a last hand, are now late fin- ishing a game which may decide a fraternity horseshoe champion- ship. One man said yesterday, “I haven’t seen a deck of cards in two weeks.” It’s like prohibition in a way. Just as a few drunks are more conspicuous than the masses of sober men, a few energetic enough to play barnyard golf are more in the’ public eye than the great number of those too tired to do anything. Those who are “too tired to do anything” number among those who can force themselves to watch the tournaments. But one of them said as he left the back- yard to take a nap before din- ner, “It makes me tired to watch them.” “These are the times that try m_en’s souls.” » V “Pony Express” Rider Expected Here Tomorrow “Cowboy Bull Montana” Making Trip From New Mexico On Horseback. “Cowboy Bull Montana,” for- mer rider of the pony express in New Mexico, is expected to ride into Lexington late today or early tomorrow, enroute from Ar- tesia, N. M., to Scranton, Pa. The man created quite a furor in Roa- .’l()l{C yesterday when in typical western costume he rode into town. I From reports it is learned that “Bull” is bumming his way across the continent. He secured lodg- ing for his horse at a stable and he found a place to lay his head with a hospitable Roanoker. “Bull” also stated that he would have ioniething important to announce vhen he finished his journey. What it was could not be learned. He has traveled 2,200 miles. VirgHiTaTiWilT « Be Shown In College Movie Decide To Produce Comedy Rather Than Serious Play; Called “One Week End.” The University of Virginia has taken on the atmosphere of H01- lywood, California. A moving picture is being filmed there. First scenes of undergraduate life there have been taken and it is expected their work will be com- plate in the next two weeks. Cap- tions and editing, however, will delay the appearance of this pro- duction at least a fortnight. This is entirely a student un- -rlertaking. Students will be the ‘~:~\.1actei's in the comedy. Stu- dents will produce the comedy, a student will direct the comedy, and a student wrote the comedy. Students Wait. Students at University have been waiting for weeks for this momentous work to start. Delays of several kinds have held up the undertaking. At first it was thought that a serious picture would be produced, but for obvi- ous reasons a comedy was decid- ed upon. Now that the second term examinations are ever work is rapidly progressing. The student producers have or- ganized under the name of “Uni- versity Productions.” If their venture into comedy is a suc- cess, which it undoubtedly will be, it is probable that they will go through with the production of “The Highest Degree,” a story based on the honor system which was first considered as a plot for the initial picture. Title “One Week End.” “One Week End” is the title of the satirical comedy of under- graduate life at Virginia. William Mitchel-l, of Watertown, N. Y., is directing the action which is bas- ed upon a script penned by Isham |Keith, Jr., of Warrenton, Va. iJohn Smith, (he doesn’t know Pocahontas), a professional news reel cameraman of Charlottesville, is acting as photographer and technical adviser. It is hoped that this comedy can be shown in Lexington as students here would enjoy study- ing life at the institution in Charlottesville. “One Week End” will be one—third the length of “Three Week Ends,” or two reels. 0 Frosh Council Has Off Month The Freshman council has had an off month, according to Joe Holt, president. Only three or four freshmen are expected to be present at the next meeting. Holt denied the rumor that the coun- cil would extend its activities after Easter. He stated that there would be no meetings of the council after Easter despite the fact that Easter comes early this year. M...;—0_—.M..—..— DR. BROWN TALKS WASHINGTON. IN Dr. and Mrs. William M.

Troubadours Leave Easter Monday For First Per."orm- ‘ ance In East Radford. COLLISON AND GILBERT IN CHARGE OF COMPANY Responsibility For Troupe’s Conduct Placed On Offi- cers’ Shoulders. The final itinerary for the Eas- ter Troubadour show, approved by the dean and the faculty com- mittee on dramatics, is as fol- lows: Monday, April 1—East Radford, Va. Sponsored by “The Bee Hive,” year book of the Radford State Teachers college. Tuesday, April 2—Bluefield, W. Va. Sponsored by the Washing- ,on and Lee alumni. Wednesday, April Va. Sponsored by Bird,” school paper High school. 4 Thursday, April 4—Abingdon, Va. Sponsored by freshman class, Stonewall Jackson college. Saturday, April 6—Bristol, Tenn.-Va. Sponsored by the Fort Chiswell chapter of D. A. R. Gilbert Makes Announcement. The itinerary was announced today by Van Gilbert, business manager. The show to be pre- sented is Owen Davis’s “The Haunted House.” The troupe will leave Lexing- ton in a chartered bus in time to meet their first night engagement at East Radford. From there they will follow out their itinerary with nightly performances. The play- ers will not appear on the night of April 5, the lay-over being planned so as to break the con- stant strain of nightly appear- ances. Series of Dances, A series of dances have been planned by various organizations in the towns in which the Dra- matic club will appear. In Blue- field, there will be a dance at the West Virginian hotel after the performance, and also at the Ho- tel Marion, in Marion, April 3. The Hospital club will likewise sponsor a dance in Abingdon for the Troubadours on the night of April 4. There will also be a dance in Bristol on April 5, “the rest night.” Sullins college has re- quested the services of the South- ern Cellegians to play at a tea dance to be given Saturday after- noon, April 6, but it is doubtful as to whether the orchestra will be able to play, Gilbert said. Olficers In Charge. On the trip various student bodies of girls’ schools in the town in which the organization will perform will attend the pre- sentation. In Marion the student body of Martha Washington sem- inary is reported to have reserv- ed a student section, Gilbert said, and in Bristol the young ladies of both the Virginia Intermont and Sullins college will be pres- ent. In conclusion, Gilbert said that the dean, in approving the pro- posed trip, made the business manager and the president of the organization, Al Collison, respon- sible for the conduct of the troupe while away from Lexington. o Collegians Play For Dances At William & Mary The Southern Collegians played last night at William and Mary college at Williamsburg. The original engagement for the Wil- liam and Mary dances last week was canceled due to the death of the dean of that school, but ar- rangements were made which postponed the dances until yes- terday evening and tonight. OM. FORTY ORDER SENIOR RINGS 3—Marion, “The Wise of Marion Forty rings have been bought by the seniors, according to Billy Hinton, local representative of Hoover and Smith Jewelry com- pany. Hinton states that he ex- pects to sell about thirty more before the end of school. -4 «T. »—‘T\T7,.. > Fourteen Students One Alumnus Elected To Phi Beta Kappa Seven Pledges Are Candidates For Arts Degree; Two Make Degrees In Three Years.

Phi Beta Kappa, national scholarship fraternity, was found- ed at William and Mary college in 1776. Since that time it has grown to the extent that it now embraces 107 active chapters in institutions all over the United States. There have been approximately 60,000 members in the organiza- tion. Forty-five thousand of these are living. Of these about thirty thousand are men and fif- teen thousand are women. The Washington and Lee chap- ter of Phi Beta Kappa was found- ed on May 5, 1911, by six mem- bers. Four of the founders of the organization here are still in Lexington. Dr. Robert Granville Campbell, professor of political science, Dr. De La Warr Benja- mine Easter, professor of romance language, and Dr. James Lewis Howe, professor of chemistry, are three of the original members who still are actively associated with the University. J. W. Kern, a. charter member, is living in Lexington. __M__M_ Thief’s Search Of’ Post Office Is Interrupted Police! Robber! Help! Murder! And so it was Thursday morn- ing when a man entered the Unit- ed States postoifice between 4:30 and 5 o’clock. He looked around, but before the trespasser was able to locate his booty and escape he was hurried away by Jim Rose, the postotfice janitor. The trespasser entered the postofiice in the wee small hours of the morning through a back window. He inserted a jimmie under the lower sash of the win- dow andflby force raised the sash after breaking a lock. Four or five drawers were pried open, but contained nothing more than stamps and these were left untouched. From a drawer in the money order department the thief took a pistol and two boxes containing suits of clothes into the basement. He returned to the main floor and it was while there that Jim Rose entered the building. The burglar left hur- riedly without the packages. McClung Patton, postmaster, stated that he has no idea as to the identity of the robber. He also stated that postoffices up the Valley had suffered several losses from robberies recently, and that it is a possibility that the “gang” visited Lexington with the hopes of more loot. MOM DR.

At least this -%;=I;==.‘~.«.: revez:.led in an article appea:'in:_>} in the Sweet Briar News last weeks. [iii energetic reporter for the pa- per iiitervic-we:l tr-reive girls at random and found tlieir p;'ei’-;-rcnce ran towards the “tall, dark,” thoirgli not ‘necessary hand- some type. . A An l1]i(‘ti'f‘:~3i.l}lf;1“ question from a local an- gie might be "iyo Wasliingtoii and Lee stu- dents pi'ei"ei' the smart blonde. or the dark, haiidsome girl?" it would be entertaining to learn their choice. Oif—hand we would say there m;n.ild be little preference. One Sweet Briar senior, when approached regarding her for a husband, dream- ingly said, ell, I’d like him to be a sur- geon, tail and blonde. He must be able to play bridge an-rl dance and be fond of ath- letics. Oh! I want him to have a straight nose and have white teeth and be kind, as well as courageous.” No doubt this senior would have little trouble in finding her choice, possibly he is roaming our very campus now. Another girl stated in emphatic terms that “I e must be tall and dark, not too so- phisticated, weli-bred, well—dressed, well- read and m‘-.1st have a good healthy phy- sique, but good looks are not essential.” Such men a1'elooking for the opportunity. Maybe she will find him. A junior \van‘te(l one “taller than I am, not fat, and with dark, wavy hair.” A sophomore chose a doctor “with plenty of sense and one who enjoys living . . . He has to be a gentlemaii, a good companion, and his looks don’t make much difference.” Things look pretty dismal for blondes! But somehow the fairer headed seem to get what they want with about the same con- sistency the dark haired ones. And then maybe after all if a vote were t:.. en of every student at Sweet Briar theifondes would be very much in the running. Blondes or brunettes! Which is the choice? - If men prefer blondes and vaomen, brunettes, how are there enough to go around? But somehow men and women are satisfied, maybe it’s personality that is pre- ferred and not the color of the hair after all. 0 PUBLICITY! What a glamour there is today for pub- licity. Everyone is seeking it. Everyone is trying to do something out of the ordi- nary just to have his name break into print. g Attempts to break speed records are made, people walk from coast to coast, cou- ples dance for days, mermen swim the Eng- lISl'1 channel, and scores of other things sim- ply because they crave publicity. Publicity is a valuable thing. As a mat- ter of fact, it is a most essential thing. Herbert Hoover had his press agents and so did Al Smith during the recent presi- dential campaign. They thought it was imperative. Today, Hoover still believes publicity is just as essential for him as it was six months ago, so he has made ar- rangements to have regular conferences with newspaper callers. The senate at Washington has its press agents and its publicity. All national pro- ducts spend vast sums to derive some~‘means of advertising through the news columns. Some people take advantage of editors by bringing uninteresting items to the paper and expect the metropolitan editors to crowd oif the front page a story about an Alabama town being twelve feet under water for a social item. But generally editors know news, though if they were pinned‘ down for a hard and fast definition they would be un- able to give such in a few concrete, specific words. i Readers of all papers may rest assured that happenings of interest will sooner or later find their way into a paper, and it is frequently a grave injustice to hold back legitimate news. But right here another angle arises for discussion. 1 Does everything that is “news” find its way into the metropolitan papers? No better answer can be given than the words from the pen of Washington Irving in his “Knickerbocker History of New York.” “Thrice happy, therefore, is this our re- nown city, in having incidents worthy of swelling the theme of history; and doubly thrice happy is it in having such a histo- rian as myself to relate them. For after all, gentle reader, cities of themselves, and, in fact, empires of themselves, are nothing without a historian . . . . What has been the fate of many fair cities of antiquity, whose nameless ruins encumber the plains of'Europe, Asia, and aken the fruitless in- quiry of the traveler? They have sunk into dust and silence—they have perished from remembrance for want of a historian!” How. true this is! How necessary pub- licity is to a university, to a college, to an educational institution, to everything which has hopes of progressive strides! Without a publicity agent to recount happenings the world-at—large remains in ignorance. If publicity and advertising were not es- sential for universities why would the Uni- versity of Chicago give $125 for the privi- lege of broadcasting debates over a Chicago radio station, why would Georgia Tech have its own radio broadcasting station, why would Alabama Polytechnic Institution at Auburn own a station, and the scores of other schools? Because they feel the need of publicity, the need of keeping the name of the institution before the eyes of the public. H For Washington and Lee to have a radio station of its own is at this time practically impossible. But for Washington and Lee to be more thoroughly advertised through- out the Southland is not. ——-—o What I regard as the most important accomplish- ment of my administration was minding my own business.—~Calvin Coolidge. 0 There would be little traffic in illegal liquor if only criminals patronized it—Herbert Hoover.

THE RING-TUM PHI 4_ __, _____ _;_ .__4 _____ g___,. ROBBING THE ATHLETIC FUND. ‘ (AN EDITORIAL). “One of the missing lbrary books has been returned and another has been added to the list of those gone,” IS the opening words of an article appearing in Wed- nesday’s RING-TUM PHI. This the situation is still critical, and something must be done. Students and alumni of. Washington and Lee howl about the athletic association not getting enough pub- hcity, about insufficient coaches, about poor athletic fields, et cetera. We offer no excuses nor alibis for these, but we can offer a legitimate reason. Included in the tuition of the University is a five dollar breakage fee, which goes to repair all damages done University property and to replace unaccounted for library books. As every student, no doubt, already knows, all money left over from the breakage fee goes to the athletic association to help defray expenses of publicity, coaches’ salaries, athletic field. and improvements on the Every time a person takes a book illegally from the library he is not merely robbing the library of a book, another person from an opportunity to use such—and- such a book, but he is indirectly stealing the price of the book from the athletic funds. Everyone wants athletics here to have more publicity; everyone wants better athletic conditions, it is only natural and rea- sonable. Yet, every year some thoughtless person, or to make it stronger and probably truer, some thieving rogue in our midst, takes books from the library and robs the athletic association. In 1926—’27 the athletic changed” $95.34 and last year it lost $20.96. “short- All be- association was cause people would take books from the library. This year conditions are far worse. The breakage fee has already been bled of $73.70 by the Carnegie Library on account of unaccounted for books. An order is now being filled for books amounting to slightly over fifteen dollars, and unless the present missing books are re- turned the athletic association will be robbed of another sum, amounting to nearly forty dollars, giving a total “shortage” of nearly $180. Miss Blanche McCrum, librarian, estimated the mini- mum cost of recataloging a book was fifty cents, which means the cost of replacing the sixteen unaccounted for books will amount to eight dollars plus the actual cost of replacement. The librarian pointed out that every time such re- cataloging was necessary it meant fifty cents Yr‘: “ come from the new book budget.

Sir Francis Drake may have been a tough baby to han- dle on a quarter-deck, but he lik- ed his silks and satins in the brighter colors of the rainbow- if they harmonized! Stout Cortes wasn't any Indian’s easy meat, nor was Balboa, but those silken, lacy ’kerchiefs they carried tucked in their sleeves added just the right touch to their carefully chosen ensembles. Periwigged pirates— he-men, those boys, but they knew how to dress. They wore the col- ors and the captain’s darling daughter were the homespun. The calamity howler who sees nothing but effeminacy in the cheerful colorings and bright en- sembles could go right on through the list of he—men from Adam to Dinty Moore in the files of Wilson Brothers style committee and never find anything to sup- port denunciation of the gay col- oring that grace the he-men of 1929. Nor could anything be found in natural history either. For instance, it’s the male pea- cock whose tail feathers the kid sister of the nineties thought were -to hot; the lion has brighter col- orings than the lioness and—next time the circus comes to town trot out and see for yourself. Don’t let ’em kid you, fellas, color belongs to the men—he-men —those are the boys that just naturally wear the color——harmo- nized, of course, adapted to their disposition as well as blended with their other apparel.

Gentlemen: The tobacco samples you sent me have been received, and they are great. If you can picture in your mind the lonesomeness of a traveling man in a small town on a rainy night, not a lriend in a hundred miles, nothing to do and no place to go: That was the position I was in when your samples of Edgeworth came. It was like a voice from above when I opened the package and got the 01:: pipe steaming. I have smoked various brands oi tobacco for the past fifteen years, bu‘- never in my life have I found a to- bacco at any price that will equal Edgeworth. It does not bite the tongue, and a beautiful aroma follows. With the good old friend pipe and a can of Edgeworth you can dream of the rainbow’s end. Please count me in the future as an Edgeworth booster. Very truly, .

The French commander, who during the closing days of the World war pierced the “Hindenberg line,” died Wednesday. As gen- eralissimo of all allied armies he at once time had 10,000,000 men under his command and conduct- ed five battles at once. It was this feat that brought the four- year struggle to a successful con- clusion for the allies. * >l< * A FUNERAL such as only five Frenchmen have received will form the final rites for the ac- complished leader. Not since 18833, when the nation honored Victor Hugo, has such a funeral been conducted. Armies of all the allied countries will be rep- resented in the vast cortege which will wind its way through the streets of Paris. >l< >|< * THE DEATH of Marshal Foch recalls an incident that occurred at Harrisonburg in 1921, when he was touring the country. While honoring Confederate leaders in that city he was handed a mes- sage signed by an unknown per- son and signed “A Patriot.” It read: “General Lee is the great- est traitor America has ever known.” “If General Lee is a traitor then I wish France and America had more traitors. I believe Gen- eral Lee was one of the greatest military leaders the world has ever known,” the marshal ‘replied before the gathering. * >i< >l< SAMUEL M.

MADISON DEAN. V For the second time during the current athletic year Lynchburg college’s attempt to wrest a vic- tory from the Generals came to naught when ‘Tom Atwood and Captain Gene White scattered the ten bingles taken from their of- ferings over nine innings, while their mates were g9«th91‘1ng two more tallies than the Hornet crew ' could garner in the same length of time, the score at the end Of _ the nine stanzas on Wilson field being 9-7. Only once during the entire fray were the General mounds- men in danger, that being in the sixth inning when 2. Walk, W/'0 singles, and an oversight on the part of Jacobs allowed four of the Hornets to t1'0t aC1“0SS the plate. With two away in the sixth and the bases loaded, Rar- \-din hit to Jacobs just back of second, who tried to make the play at first instead of second. Rarden beat the throw to Wil- liams and two runs crossed the . pan with two more following be- fore the side was retired. Thibodeau Scores. Washington and Lee drew first blood when Thibodeau reached ‘ first on Malone’s error and took third when the latter threw the ball over the first baseman’s head. “Larruping Hank” Slanker sent the General “hot corner” guard- ian across the plate with his first hit of the season, a single to cen- ter. Lynchburg scored one in the “second but the Blue and White ' came back in the fourth and add- ed three more runs. Slanker led off with a clean single to left and singled to left, scoring Williams continued the White :“Slanker. 0 onslaught by catching hold of a fast one for a triple to left-center, scoring White. Littman flied out to center, Williams scoring after the catch. Lowdon was hit by a pitched ball and Atwood reached first on a free pass, but Jacobs ended the scoring when Miller tossed him out at first. Sixth Near Fatal. Lynchburg scored their second run in the fifth, only to have the Generals chalk up two more tal- lies in their half. Slanker got his third hit of the day, a line single to center, continued on to ' third as Barbour fielded his hit -slowly, and scored when the Hor- net centerfielder’s throw to third hit him in the back and rolled ‘_into the stands. “Sugar” Wright came through with a triple and ‘scored on White’s sacrifice, and then Barbour camped under Wil- liams’ long flly to end the stanza. The near fatal sixth tied the score at 6 all, but the spurt of the Hornets was short-lived. With one down, Lowdon beat out a hit to short.

Rardin threw to second when Ja- cobs tried to steal, Malone fum- bling the throw, but eventually tagged out Jacobs, Lowdon scor- ing before the play was com- pleted. Two More Runs.

To get out, mix with the men, and show them how it is to be done is the theory upon which Coach Oberst works. He intends to take his candidates, show them, and teach them the game of football, not tell them. To Depend On Condition. Condition, according to com- ments made by the new mentor ‘upon his recent visit, is going to ;be the basis of his team. He says he is going to have a line with power in its arms and wrists and a backfield with genuine speed and co-ordination. In his letter, Coach Oberst says: “I wish to see every Washington and Lee student whose physique and scholastic standing permits, to try for a position on the foot- ball team. No efl*'ort of mine will be spared to assist them in hav- ing a football season that is most 1-reditable to the University.” “Your interest in my recent ap- pointment as football coach at Washington and Lee is most pleasing. You can convey to the student body my expression of_ appreciation of the support you have voiced for them,” he says in the letter. Will Spare No Elfort. “I wish to see every Washing- ton and Lee student whose psy- ;ique and scholastic standing per- mits, try for a position on the football team. No effort of mine .vill be spared to assist them in having a football season that is most creditable to the Univer- sity. “Football is a game for real ‘he—men;—from observations made -ipon my recent brief visit to Lex- ington, I am led to believe that here should be no lack of such men at Washington and Lee. With a whole—hearted spirit of co-op- eration between the student body and a team of determined fight , ing men, surely the achievement of the football team will re- bound to the good of all connect ed with the University.” OT EPISCOPAL CHURCH SERVICES.

After the first few games the nervousness will wear ofl’ and great things can be expected from him. Taliaferro saw two innings of work at the backstop post, but Fields contracted the campus ail- ment, pink-eye, and observed the game from the bench, donning a uniform despite the ailment. White was the only member of either mound corps who used any- thing but a straight ball during _.he contest. Gene employed a few benders in the last two frames in thwarting the Hornet attack. Ed Smith, who substituted for White at second, when the latter took the mound, made a fine stop behind first base of Oakes’ hard smash but his throw to Williams did not beat the flying Lynchburg gardener. ' “Apie” Lowdon was the big “thief” of the afternoon, pilfer- ing two bags between the first and’ last stanzas, besides playing a great all around game. “Larrupin’ Hank” Slanker prov- ed to be the outstanding individ- ual star of the opening contest. Hank had a perfect day at bat, getting three singles in three of- ficial trips to the plate. In the w. J.
