Led by Captain McQueen, the Wolverines, twenty strong, will arrive tomorrow morning and engage in a preliminary practice in the fore- noon. Michigan has one of the strongest college aggregations in the west and should present a bold front. Sisler, regarded as one of the most adept of college twirlers, will be seen in action either on the slab,, OIf__ln left field. He is a star hitter as well as a winning pitcher. , The batteries that will face the Generals have not been definitely .de- termined by the coaches, who will select the twirlers from Ferguson, Davidson, Mc.\‘amara, Nichols, Cas- well, Soddy and Sisler. Ben_ton and Harshman will probably alternate be- hind the bat. The probable line-up is: Sheehy, cf. Labadie, rf. Nieman, rf. McQueen, 2b. Sisler, ii-lf. Brandel, s.-:. Benton, c. Harshman, c.

MONRDE TOSPEAK on EXPLOSIVES Famous Chemist Will Make a Unique Address The mighty implements of the war- ring nations will be revealed to Wash- ington and Lee by a lecturer of inter- national fame. The Chemical Society announces that Dr. Charles Edward Munroe, Dean of the Faculty of Gradu- ate Studies in George Washington University, will deliver a lecture, illu- strated by stereoptit-an slides, in the chapel Friday night on “Explosives of the Present. " Dr. Munroe is regarded as of theleading all'.l.r_xX"htl€S of the chemical and military worlds on explosives. He was for some time professor of Chemistry in the United States Naval Academy, Chemist to the Torpedo Corps and has held other high positions. His address should prove unique, as he will introduce, by the aid of a few startling experiments, some of his most interesting facts and illustrate others with slides. He is a forceful speaker and one who can present the facts in an intelligible manner. (>118 (Juminueil on Dage 7 l TROPHY IN I l The Easter festivities were usiimed’ L. W.

Handicapped by a killing wind during the ealier part of the afternoon and by a steady drizzle of rain during the latter part, no records were set, though the spirit of keen competition manifested showed that each athlete was keyed to his highest pitch. Though it was a handicap meet the winners of most of the events entered from scratch. The feature of the meet was the close struggle for first honors which developed between Ted Shultz and Roger Starnes. Early in the meet it became apparent that the point trophy would go to one or the other of those two, but not until the next to the last event was the matter de- cided. Throughout the entire after- noon they ran neck and neck, never ’sepa_rated>by more than three or four points.

During the first eight sessions, the youngster held the llountainers to two singles, one of them being an inricl hit.

But in the ninth, after two were down and Morrow was on first base, three succesive wallops gave West Virginia four runs and the ldecision. ; Faulty movements on the bases and 1 ll ability to hit timely prevented Washington and Lee from clinching a ivictory in the earlier sessions. In the ‘second, the Generals gained the fore ‘iby scoring two runs. The Mountain- ieers scored a single tally in the third ‘,without the aid of a hit, and forged linto the lead in the fifth a hit and lthrec errors netted two runs. Gal- :‘ lagher evened up accounts in the fifth iwith a home run drive. Although the Generals erred but three times, these came within one inning the fifth. VVest Virginia’s three errors occurred without cost, for in the two innings the Generals scored Barron received perfect sup- port. Timely hitting by Payne and Gallagher enabled Washington and Lee to get the three runs. A running catch by Young of Ayres’ line drive in the fourth was the fielding feature. In the second, Bailey drew a base on balls. Smith struck out, but Brown singled against left field fence. Bailey and Brown effected a double steal of third and second base. Payne poked a grounder past first base for a single and both runnersscored. West Virginia countered in the third with one run. Hersey and Leather- wood walked. Fulton lifted a high fly to center, which looked like an easy out. Young mutfed the ball, but recovered in time to peg Hersey out at third. At this juncture, Graham made a wild pitch and Leatherwood scored from second base. Errors Aid Mountaineers A series of errors enabled West i Virginia to swoop ahead of the Gener- als in the fifth.

W. U. S0ciety—Programs Interesting The negative won the decisions in both debates of the Washiiigtoii and Grah:1m—Lee literary societies Satur- day night. In the Graiiam—Lee, the Elective system of Washington and Lee was endorsed, while the Washing- ton decided against municipal owner- ship of natural monopolies. The Graham-Lee The place made vacant by the resig- nation of R. G. Hundley as final ora- tor was filled by the election of T. MCP. Glasgow. As Mr. Glasgow had been earlier elected to act as Chief Marshal for the Final Celebration, L. W. Harris was chosen his successor. The society decided not to accept the offer of the Columbian Debating So- cety of George Washington University in regard to a debate between the two organizations to be held at Washing- ton, I). C., owing to financial difficul- ties and shortness of time. The pro- gram for the evening was opened by an oration by S. L. Robertson, who had for his subject, “Why America should have a better Literature than at Present.” Mr. Robertson told of t.he great need of the South for litera- ture and particularly emphasized the value of writers to any nation. Samuel VVofsy and G. Ii. I.ampton for the ah"Irinative debated against T. MCP. Glasgow and E. S. Smith on the negative on the question, Resolved, “That the Elective System at Wash- ington and Lee should be Abolished. ” The judges, J. W. Blake, L. W. Harris, and Homer Powell decided that the present system was the most satisfactory that could be gotten and accordingly gave their decision to the negative. The Wa.~I'1in_u.t~ n With characteristic force of deliv- ery and knowledge of his subject, W. J. Cox opened the program for the evening by an oration on “The Real Source of the Nation’s Greatness.’ He was followed by C. P. Heavener, who with his usual strength of argu- mentgand smoctd speech, declaimed on thedlsubject of “How to Drive a Pig. ” The sole exteinporaneous talk was made by F. T. Cole on “Operaions in the Dardanelles and their Efforts.” While the debate for the evening was not character z -(I by pep and life, many good arguments were advanced on both sides, clearly illustrating that the debaters had made careful prepara- tion on the subject. K. L. Shirk and E. L. Junkin argued aptly for the afiirmative against W. C. Bleight and W. W. Sager for the negative. The question under discussion was, Re- solved, “That Municipal Ownership of Natural Monopolies, such as Lighting and Water plants, is Desirable.” Although many benefits result from the municipal ownership of such mon- opolies, the upholders of the affirma- tive failed to sustain their burden of proof, and consequently the judges, H. M. Shumate, G. E. McCluer and S. P.§Hileman, gave an unanimous deci- sioa to the negative. MONROE T0 SPEAK ON EXPLOSIVES Continued from page I “Dr. Munroe is regarded as one of the foremost authorities on explos- ives,” said Dr. L. L. Howe, in re- gard to the lecture, “and will deliver an address that will be thoroughly in- teresting. No chemist has a greater knowledge of explosives than has he, and, in view of the widespread usage of these engines of death in the Euro- pean theater of war the topic is one that should interest any auditor.” RING—TUM PHI Perkins Our Mr. Baulair will give personal attention to the se- lebtion and details in filling any order you may be pleas- ed ‘to send us by mail.

Hallman has gone farther and now holds the record in the pole ' vault at Washington and Lee. Many of the other members of the squad have shown that they can be depended upon, and V. P. I. may expect to find a close contestant in Washington and Lee for largest number of points in the meet. Recently V. P. I. won a dual meet from Richmond College by a score of 76 to 36. While Coach Fletcher be- lieves that the coming event will he a close meet, he is fully confident that his squad will make a larger scoring than the Techs. Under his admirable ’ Mich. ; Central High School, training the squad has developed won- 3 Broad Jump — Starnes and Seeley. Pole Vault—eHallman and Hansel. Shot Put and Discus Throw~ Shultz, Myles and Miles. There will be also a relay between the two institutions. Coach Fletcher will probably enter Young, Gladney, Starnes, Wadsworth and Rogers in_ this event to contest for Washington and Lee. 1 ENTRIES ARRIVING For , INTERSCHOLASTI03 Entries for the third annual inter-' scholastic track meet to be held on‘ Wilson Field May 1, have begun to come in and everything points toward a big meet.
