Broad Field of Activity Outlined—Club Will- ing Recipient of Donations. The Monogram club of Washington and Lee, in existence prior to the war, was formerly reorganized at a called meeting on Feb. 5th, under the con- stitution and by-laws of the old or- ganization. About twenty—five hol- ders of the W. and L. from the various sports of football, baseball, basket- ball, track, and crews answered the call and voted an enthusiasm to enter into a broad field of possible activi- ties as outlined by Coach Raftery,that indefatigable little bunch of human energy possessing an undying in- terest in Washington and Lee, and a former member of the Monogram club. Coach Raftery spokeof the activities and great accomplishments of simi- lar clubs in other institutions with which he has been connected. The primary object of the organization will be to increase the interest in VVashington and Lee 2‘.ti1l':tiCS among the \'::rious preparatory.’ schools of the '11 anri in ‘ ' nze the :\xl'Lu.:l'.‘ the \'L1'(‘i0llS slates. lg.‘-;;‘ line C ’ (NIECO by ' mem of the wear‘.':: of the reviv- ing the old interest iinoiig that gal- axy of the school‘s most loyal sup- porLers—its repr:~se11tati\.’es on the sporting field of old.

Funds will be necessary to carry out these widely influential plans, and the Monogram club wil be a willing recipient of bene- fits and contributions which may be tendered to the University organiza- tions.

Large At- tendance Expected Washington and Lee’s Mid-Winter festivities of 1919 will be greater than ever as there will be four dances this year instead of the customary three. The coterie of dances will open Wednesday night with the Sophomore Cotillion which will be led by Lester Fox, president of the class, with Miss Sadie Evans of Sweet Briar, Va. The usual basketball dansant will be held Thursday afternoon from 4 to 6, and the proceeds of this entertainment will go to the support of basketball. Thursday night the Generals will go up against the strong Wake Forest quint and this promises to be a fast and snappy game, as the “Baptists” always have a hard-fighting aggregation. Immediately following the game, the Junior Prom will be ushered in and J. M. Jennings with Miss Guy Bratton of Marlinton, W. Va., will lead this gayety, assisted by L. F. Musgrove with Miss Blary Jane Strother of Culpepper, Va. On Friday afternoon final practice for the Bal lllasque will be held. The climax of the festivities will be reached Friday night with the fifteenth annual Bal Masque given under the direction of Miss giinnie White, who from the very beginning of this event at Wash- ington and Lee has always had supervision of it. The Fancy Dress Ball bids to be “bigger and better than ever” this year. John A. Witt with Miss Cotton Timberlake of Raleigh, N. C., assisted by S. M. Graham with Miss Mary Lucas of Roanoke, Va., has the honor of leading this crowning festivity. Miss Annie White and President Witt have been busy ever since Christmas making preparations, and more extensive plans are be- ing carried out than ever before. The decorations will be very beau- tiful and elaborate and there will be a number of novel features in- troduced for the first time.

The game was filled with thrills, and the game see-sawed first in favor of one team then in favor of the other, and during the entire second half the spectators were kept in an agony of suspense. It was anybody’s game until the final whistle and at no time did either team have the game on ice. The play- ing was hard and furious but altho rough, it was, on the whole, a clean game. Things were delayed at first by the constant protesting of the North Carolina aggregation, but as they were overruled in all their objections,they soon settled down and payed as fast 2t’1Zl' aggressive a game as Washing- ten and Lee could desire.
