hard to be in possession of the most

the aflirmative can muster some very

SNOWBOUND IN GYM

Michigan Aggies May Cancel-—
Season Thus to Close May 8

The Washington and Lee baseball
team has been snowbound since
Thursday. Wilson Field, after hav.
ing been the scene of lively outdoor
practice for a few dayr, was hlanli-
eted with a c<-ver of snow last Fri
day and the baseball aspirants were
forced back to the old retreat—t.hc
gymnasium. However. weather
conditiins seem to be such that the
Generals will he abletn flock again
from their indoor retreat toward the
latter part of the week.

Coach Donahue is horeful. The
twirling corps was in fine shape when
the prolonged flurries of flakes put a
quietus on outdoor practice. Several
of the pitchers were shooting the
pellet over the plate with azip,while
others were dlS[ll‘l_‘,’lT“.fI their curves
During the time that the squad has
been forced indoors, care has been
exercised to prevent the pitchers
from losing the free use of their
flinging members, and, as the result.
they will not feel the shift appreci
ably.

The infielders and outfielders have
been reporting daily at the gymnasium
and have indulged in
practice to prevent their eyes from
becoming dirrmed by lack of action.

Nine Cut From Squad

The General squad has received its
first cut and as the result nine
caididates were eliminated. How
ever thirty-six remain unplucked
and are practicing daily.

Eleven slabmcn are unlinhering
their hurling arms. They
Jennings. Grzihani, t'Ilaat"m.
Harris. Anderson, Bcall, Hastings,
Pierotti, Bryan and Faverbrother.
Six are endeavorirg to gain the
place behind the hat vacated by
Jiggs Donahue. The aspiring ic-
ceivers are: Sweetland. Harrison,
MacGregor, Dodson, Kiss-r, and
Payne.

At first base, Ben Rivers, regular
of 1914. is fighting against Porter
and Burton, while Zack Brown,
Shrimp Jones and Battle Bagley are
offering for the second sack.

Johnny Gallagher has three rivals
at shortstop in Straley Mahood, Paul
Jonesand Lewis Collins (aptair.
Colville has Dick Watts for his
understudy at third base.

: In the outfield, there are eight
likely candidates in Cv Young,
Penny, Bailey, Bill Smith, Bob
Schulz, Johnny Sorrells, H. G. Smith
and B. S. Hill.

Coach Donahue states that he has
apromising twirler in big Bonaid

INTRA-TEzi’MCTRACK MEET
PROPOSED BY FLETCHER

Besides the-annual interclass track
meet, Coach Fletcher intends to have
an intra team tournament. His plan
is to divide the track squad into tvso
sections and to stage a regular meet
between them. He has not yet de-
termined by what name he will de-
signate the respective sections. but
the Xannigans and the Lanigans is
under consideration.

A regular meet of ten or twelve
events will be arranged and the able
athletes divided in strength as equal-
ly as they can possibly be. The
track coach feels that this will serve
to stimulate interest and to give the
track stars a slight diversion from
the regular grind of the training
season.

methods, send one of their faculty to
another university to deliver a series
of addresses on some subject of

college reciprocates and re-

the universities keep in contact one

V. M. I. RECEIVES
$100,000 INDEMNITY

One of the last acts of Congress,
just before the recent adjournment,
was to award $100,000 to Vrginia
Military Institute as indemnity for
the damage to the Institute building
by General Hunter during the Civil
war when he passed through the
valley of Virginia destroying prop-
erty. The Bill was introduced by
Congressman Hal Flood, an alnnus
of Washington and Lee.

The appropriation of this sum will
enable the authorities of V. M. I. to
complete the grading of the parade
grounds and other extensive im-
provements that have been begun.
It is also probable tht another acad-
emic building will ba erected from
the $100,000. V. M. I. has worked
upon the matter of securing the sum
for a number of years.

In order to encourage the writing
of good themes and essays at Penn
State, all of the better productions
of the students will be published in
the college publications.

TUCKER AUTHOR OF BOOK

Harry St. George Tucker,’ former
professor of law at Washington and
Lee University. is the author of a
recent book on “Limitations on the
Treaty Making Power of the United
States.” It is quite a voluminous
book and is published by one of the
leading firms of Boston. In view of
the European crisis and the position
of the United States, the book is re-
garded as very timely.

Mr. Tucker spent a number of
years in gathering material for the
book. He received a degree in the
Washington and Lee University law
school in 1876.

him the
position, in his anouncement, it be
came known that it was Montana.
This wask not expected as it was
said that a “northern state" had
tendered him the position.

His announcement, part of which
follows, is characteristic: I

“I am happy to announce my de- '
cision to remain in Alabama. There
has never been a moment when I
desired to lay down my work here.
Where a man is investing his
treasure of muscle and nerve and
faith there is his heart also.

“It was, of course, my duty to
give fair consideration to the call
that came to me several weeks ago.
This I have done. If I am not self»
deceived, I have sought to subordi-
nate the question of financial reward
to the larger question of service.

“The simple fact is that have
found no way to resist the conclusion
that it is my duty to remain in the
South and to spend such strength as
is given to me in the interest of my
own people,especially at this time of
economic uncertainty and distress.
It is indeed a profound spiritual sat-
isfaction to be able to put aside all
other considerations and to feel free
{to act as my heart inclines me to
tact in this matter.”

Work and life

The Hustler, the student publica-
tion, piiblishea an enitorial congratu-
lating the University on having been
fortunate enough to secure Dr. Cur-
rell. Part of it follows: -

“Presiient Currell has easily won
the hearts of all Vanderbilt men
He typifies their ideal of the po-
lished scholar and Soutl.ern gentle
man. In his selection of the subject
of his lectures. “Ibsen, Man and
Dramatist," he has been most
happy. His bearers have felt the
charm of the delightfully informality,
together with the gently satirica
and refreshing humor of his lecture‘
and have been awakened to a diaper
appreciation of Ibsen’s life and
Work. "

SENIOR QUINT WINS”
INTER-CLASS TITLE

Junior Lawyers Humble the Seniors
——B0th Games Fast

The Seniors won the championship
of the University in the inter class
series by downing the Juniors by a
one point margin last Tuesday after-
noon. 12 to 11. The game was nip
and tuck from the first to the last
and never throughout the game was
either five at all assured of victory.
At the end of the first half, the two
quints were deadlocked, the score
standing 8 to 8.

The game was probably the best of
the series from every point of view.
Although characterized by speedy and
hard playing, it had less roughness
than preceding encounters, and was
marked by superior passing and
guarding. In field goals, the victors
easily deserved the laurels, every
man on the Senior team having
registered two pilots, while Captain
Harrison made most of the points for
the Juniors. He scored five foul and
two field goals, thus rolling up nine
of the eleven points made by his
side. The work of Shultz at center
was also a great asset to the Junior
team, liis tow head serving as a
landwar for the passing of his team-
mates. For the Seniors Latture
and Utt were the stars, their good
floor work being noticeable through-
out the contest.

The respective lineups were:
Seniors Juniors
Urt Harrison
Williams Coe
Bear . Shul<z
Latture it. G. Biigley
Donahue L. G. Junkin

Individual scoring:

Field goals——Utt ;
Bear 1; Donahue 1;
Br-igley 1.

Foul goals-Latture 4 good in five
shots; Harrison 5 good in 7 shots.

Junior Lawyers Win Easily

in l\ game greatly marred by foul
ing and ragged playing, the Senior
Lawyers were snowed under bv the
Junior_Law team last Thursday after-
noon by the significant store of 38 to
5. After the first few moments, the
outcome of the game was never in
doubt. The Seniors fought valiantly
but blindly, and seemed to find it
impossible to break up the skillful
passing and goal shooting of their op
ponents.

Both teams committed frequent
fouls, over twenty being called by
the referee during the strugg e. In
every other respect, however the
younger team eclipsed its opponent
The good plays of the Juniors were
well distributed among the five, but
Burhman at right forward and Brown
at center were the stars, the former
ringing up twelve points, and the
latter seventeen. The addition of
Smith in the second half to the
Seniors temporarily sl,iI"f:ne.l their
resistance, and probably lows-r¢,.i the
iinal Junior register consiqierably.
