The annual Public Initiation of the Omicron Delta Kappa Society was held in the Chapel on Thursday night, ‘March 13. The address was delivered by Dr. Calvin Metcalf, Edgar Allan Poe professor of English at the Uni- versity of Virginia, and immediately following this the "names of the initi- ates were announced. They are: S. A. Anderson, L. T. Brown, L. J. Fox, T. W. Gilliam, J. W. Kern, A. R. Le- Compte, C. H. Taylor, G. P. Wilson and Dr. J. C. Metcalf. J. R. Fain, president of the Circle, in opening the public initiation, gave a short speech, outlining the growth of the Society since it was organized here in 1914. He explained that it was an organization for the recog- nition of college leadership, espec- ially in these five phases: Scholar- ship, Athletics, Social Life, Literary or Forensic Attainments, and Publi- catiurs. of the Omicron Delta Kappa has been lgranted to Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pittsburg and David- son College. Dr. E. F. Shannon then introduced the speaker very complimentarily as a “Son of Old Kentucky.” Dr. Met- calf’s finished literary address was on ¢“American War Poetry and World De- mocracy.” His theme was the enrich- ment and development of American poetry since the beginning of the war, and at numerous places he gave quo- tations from the best .poems, showing American poets’ treatment of the var- . ious phases of the war, and their con- ception of World Democracy. He said that the first thing to be noted in this new poetry is a spirit (Continued on Page 8) -LIEULMOOMAW MET DEATH IN ACTION Cablegram Received by War De- partment Establishes Death of Former Professor and Student of W. & L.

PUBLIC’ Generals to Engage in Nine Grid- iron Battles—Georgia Tech, Georgetown and V. P. I. to Be Played. 1 The football schedule for the sea- son of 1919, as formally ratified by: the Faculty Committee on Athletics,5 has been announced by Manager Watts. It is one of the best sched- ules Washington and Lee has ever had, and due credit should be given Man-} ager Watts and Coach Raftery. The schedule calls for five home games, one more than is usually seen on Wil- son Field by the student body. A rarely equalled opportunity for the de- termination of the South Atlantic and Southern championships is presented by the schedule which covers an ex- tensive southern territory besides the representative colleges in Virginia. The season opens on October 4th iwith Randolph Macon here. The Gen—' ierals have opened with the “Ministers”i ‘for the past several years and this .game has always given the Coaches an opportunity to try out the new ..ia’v..~ '.al and pick out the \\..:a.3. spots in the machine. The following Sat- urday Davidson comes to Lexington for the second game of the season. The lads from Chapel Hill never fail to put up a strong aggregation of grid warriors and the men in the S. A. T. C. football team can perhaps still re- member the defeat they suffered at the hands of the Davidsonians. This con- test should no doubt be fast and in- teresting. Instead of the customary trip for the third game, the Generals will meet Richmond College on Wil- son field October 18. The Spiders al- ways have a hard—fighting team, but in the past years they have not caused the Generals much trouble in the line of opposition. Roanoke College comes to Lexington for their annual game Aflontinucd on Page 4) “BILL” RAFTERY T0 COACH NEXT YEAR The Athletic council has been very fortunate in securing “Bill” Raftery as head coach next year. His elec- tion has been ratified by the faculty. Bill has had entire charge of athletics here for the past two years and he has not only turned out winning teams but has made himself universally popular with the students. With “Bill’ in charge there is no doubt about the success of the 1919 teams. Oct. 4—Randolph-Macon Nov. Nov.

At the first call of the candidates for the baseball team last Monday, about fifty men answered the call of Coach Raftery. Monday and Tuesday the men worked in the gymnasium on account of the weather, but Wednesday it turned considerably warmer so prac- tice was started on Wilson Field. Since then most of the time has been de- voted to batting and fielding practice while the pitchers have been warming up but not trying anything but straight balls. ' After looking over the candidates, Coach Raftery seemed very well pleased with the prospects and he pre- dicted that the Generals would have a very well balanced team. Gregg, Graham and Hansbarger have not yet reported for practice but it is expect- ed that they will be out after the ex- aminations. It is ve+ early to say anything about L118 lA'lu.b€‘1.'Ib.l but ui..In\;L'V.;.i.iuI1 :C_.l.i.: M. warrant the following about the men at the present time. Regular Jones is back at his old po- sition on third and is going better than ever. Yancey is also out for third and he handles himself very well. Michael, who has had several years’ experience, is a very promising can- didate for shortstop. Watts, Carter, and Bryant are trying for second and Coach Raftery will very likely get a good man out of the trio. Fox and Quillan are fighting for first. The other infield candidates are: Ball, Johnson, Hyde, Young, Miller, Russel, Daughtery, Flowers, Hainline and Brightwell. The men who are showing up par- ticularly well in the outfield are W'ol— ford, who has played for the past two years at Western Maryland, Hender- son from McCallies School,and Raines, LeVey, and Credle. The other aspir- ants for the outfield positions are Davis, Baylor, Henry, L. M., St. Clair, Currie, Knablecamp, Patton and Walker. The Generals seem to be unusually well fixed in regard to the batteries as most of the men have had consid- erable experience in preparatory schools. Sloan, who pitched for the John Marshall High School for sev- eral years, seems to have all the re- quirements of a first class pitcher.

S The final game of the in-terfraternity series was played 03 Saturday and re- sulted in a victory for the K. A’s. over the Alpha Chi Rhos. The game was called promptly at 3 p. m. by Referee Walford and the entire ground floor of the gym was filled with spectators. The Alpha Chi Rhos started out with a rush that threatened to spell disaster for the Kappa Alphas amassing four points before the K. A’s. had scored any. Their first basket came when Morrison caged a pretty one from midfield without touching the rim, and their second shortly after, as Baber received a pass from outside, under the basket. Before the close of the first half, however, the K. A’s., stung to effort by the success of their oppon- ents, had tied the score and the half ended 4 to 4. At the beginning of the second per- iod the K. A’s. let themselves go and evhibiterl as ‘nrettv r_\a.c:v.x.'ork and [teamwork as seen in any of the Fra- ternity games this year. The A. X. P's. were unable to stop them and Price put his team ahead by a basket shot from the sideline. Sloan fol- lowed with another under the basket, and from then on the K. A’s. played with their opponents as they saw fit. Tiny Trotter was responsible for the most spectacular shot of the game, scoring from mid—field near the side- line, as a climax to a successful drible from the other end of the fioor. The final score stood 12 to 4 in favor of the Kappa Alphas. The line-up: Kappa Alpha Position A. X. P. Price ........................................ ..

Union Has Furnished Connecting Link for College Men Overseas. Soon after America’s entrance into the war, and the entrance of her men an the battle field of Europe, there was formed a so-called American Uni- versity Union in Paris, Rome and Lon- don’. The leading colleges and univer- sities of America were members and were back of themovement financially The main object of the Union was to provide a kind of club house where the various college men of America in the Expeditionary forces could meet to- gather when on leave. Needless to say it proved a success all throughout the period of the war and is continuing its work. It has furnished the one connecting link for all college nien en- ;'.-yaged in the world war. Since the be- ginning of the Union it has regis- tered more than 20,000 American Col- lege men from about 400 different in- stitutions. As Washington and Lee is a mem- ber of the Union, President Smith re- eeives from time to time reports re- garding the various W. & L. men who have registered with the union with- in the previous few weeks. The lat- est report covers the registrants from October 24th to December 27th. With- in this time thirty three VVashington and Lee men appear to have register- ed.

Because of Dr. Howerton’s illness he was unable to talk at the regular Y meeting as announced last week. It is fortunate that the Sunday school convention was in progress at that time because Mr. White, who took Dr. Howerton’s place, just happened to be in town attending the conven- tion. The speaker chose for his talk what is ordinarly called personal Work. He recited, rather than read, from Hebrews the eleventh chapter and part of the twelfth. His specific text as he stated it was, “Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross.” The body of the talk was divided in- to three parts following the suggested outline in the text. The first was the cross. It was pictured how people used to be_ crucified some times by first erecting the cross and then pull- ing the victims nailed to the cross- piece into position. The way in which Christ was crucified was by being first nailed to the cross and the whole then erected. Then Mr. White pointed out that Christ was willing to endure that for us and for the joy that was set be- fore him. He then told of what joy consisted in. It was first obedience to his fath- er and second the redeeming of peo- ple from sin. Under this head the speaker said, “Some day Jesus will be satisfied when he sees the millions saved by him.” And the third thing in which the joy of the Master con- sisted was the glory that would come to those whom he had saved and then Mr. White asked, “Dowe believe that?” In concluding the speaker told of how D. L. Moody once sat with a man on the train and in the few minutes that he had with him showed the man that he really cared for his salvation. The man later asked a friend whom he had known for years if he really cared for him and said that his rea- son for asking was that the Christian friend had never asked one thing about his personal salvation. Mr. White then said, ‘Tell the story to someone else.” Another story he told was of a dog that went out after two lost sheep and succeeded in finding them, but laid down its own life in the effort and then the speaker in sub- stance asked, “Will a dog do more for sheep than you will do for your fellow man?” And again he told of a little boy who lost all his family in an epi- demic of Yellow fever. His mother had told him that Jesus would take care of him when she was gone. He was found asleep across the grave of his mother and when awakened, he re- lated what his mother had told him. The man who found him said that he had come for him. The boy then said, “You have been a long time coming.” And then in conclusion Mr. White asked, “Won’t you go out and tell men about Jesus?” GORRELL’S Candies, BEST Drink -:- Specialist CHRISTMAS PULTZ The Real Chocolate Shake Mixer He Can't Serve them All So he Serves THE BEST.

C.——DEMOBILI- ZATION—THE NET RE- SULTS (Concluded) As time went on, men recovered from the epidemic and normal work was resumed. The students really wished to be patriotic and helpful to their country and they worked hard at Whatever they thought would fit them for their duties as soldiers and of-! ficers. Considering the difiicult situ- ation of the dual control the faculties and the officers of the government achieved a remarkable co-operation. Several bunches of men were trans- ferred from the S. A. T. C. organiza- tions to the Regular Officer Training Camps in order to fit them for ser- vice in Europe and this country. The newly commissionedofficers andthe re- cently appointed non—commissioned of- ficers were beginning to get the hang of their duties and learn the routine of their day’s work. Delayed uniforms and equipment were beginning to ar- rive. The long needed forms were be- ginning to be available. Officials higher up were beginning to catch up with their work and be able to answer their correspondence. The students began to arrive at the point Where they could see the results of their own training, and take a just pride in their development. The big machine had just begun to get under way when the armistice was signed and set every- RING-TUM-PHI we will admit it or not, and the last one of us will admit it after it is over and we are enjoying the results of it. I What West Pointer does not look back 1 on his days at the Academy with a sort of reverence and consider them in a sort of halo‘? Surely if there ever were strict discipline, it is at West Point, but the passing of time mellows the memory and shows the benefit of it all. The same will be true of the men who labored through the S. A. T. C. at Washington and Lee and at other institutions. But what about the government which paid the bill? Did it get its re-i turn? Yes and no. It never got much outward and tangible result from the S. A. T. C. in a military way and few of the men trained in the Units ever saw service in France,but even at that the government did not lose. The very fact of such extended preparations in training the youth of the country undoubtedly had a very strong effect on Germany. Their one big criticism of the American army was that the ofi'ice1's had had such short training. The German officer had been trained for years. If this was our weak spot, here was the an- swer. If our officers were not well trained, the S. A. T. C. could soon produce officers who were. The Ger- man slogan that, “You can’t make an officer by putting shoulder straps on him,” was knocked in the head. Our answer was, that if our untrained of- ficers could fight as they were then thing buzzing again. some organization that earlier service in France, was changed into a line inquiring when they could get out. Demobilization D In time the government decided to demobilize the Students Army Train- ing Corps, and at such colleges and uni- versities as desired to do so, to estab- lish the R. O. T. C. Units. Examina- tions were rushed through with haste where possible. Papers were com- pleted and property turned in. Prop- erty on hand not intended for the R. O. T. C. was shipped away and final reports rendered. One by one the of- flcers were discharged and returned to their homes. The students went home for Christmas and returned to college after the holidays or went to work. The Net Results With all over and done with did it pay? The first impulse is to say no, but have we thoroughly considered the proposition? There can be no doubt that from a physical standpoint, the training was beneficial to all. One ofiicer made it his business to inquire of every man discharged whether he had gained or lost weight during his service in the Washington and Lee S. A. T. C. Among all the men asked this question, one man was the same Weight as before. All the rest had gained weight. It was real muscle too. A glance at any of the S. A. T. C. products was enough to settle that point. They left with red blood coursing through their veins and vig- or in their step. They were such men as would have caused the Boche to stop and think twice ere he faced their shining bayonets. The habit of get- ting up at daylight, taking all meals and exercise regularly and at the ex- act hour every day and going to bed at the same hour every night, is not always very pleasant to be sure and it islikely to become monotonous, but it does make for health and vigor. Discipline is one of those things one thinks is fine for the other fellow but which one is apt to decide he has had enough of himself and does not need The long line\ _ of men Waiting. to inquire WhetheI.[i‘ice1‘S from the S. A. T. C. Units do they could not be transferred intoiwhen they 8‘0t there? The1‘e 0311 be would seeino doubt that the S. A. T. C. work 5was taken into consideration by the fighting, what would our trained of- Germans just as the Aeroplane situa- tion and the poison gas situation and, the ship building were, and that it too: had some part in their hasty signing of the armistice before the calamity would fall on them and grind them to powder. It is fair then to conclude? that the S. A. T. C. was not a failure and that while mistakes were of course made, the thing for which the organi- zation was formed was accomplished and the end was achieved. C.H.TAYLOR ELECTED VAL- EDICTORIAN OF SENIOR CLASS Recipient of Honor Well Fitted for the Task—Class Dues As. sessed at $5 Per Man. An important meeting of the Sen- ior Academic Class was held last VVed_ nesday night in Newcomb hall. After waiting patiently until a quorum was found present, President G. P.

Taylor is a mem- ber of the Signa Chi and Sigma Up- silon fraternities and one of the newly elected members of the “Circle.” Since his entrance here three years ago, he has made an exceptional scholastic record and is well fitted to carry out the task assigned him.

A MEMORIAL ARCH As a monument to the SOYIS Of Washington and Lee who have en- gaged in the military service in the recent war Washington and Lee will construct a memorial arch of stately grandeur and magnificence. President Smith informs us that the University has already purchased all the property in the neighborhood of the vehicle entrance to the Uni- versity at a cost of ten thousand dol- lars. The arch will have its en- trance at the corner of Jefferson and Washington streets and will extend all the way to the Lee memorial chap- el. Stately columns corresponding to those which comprise the colonnade on the campus will be erected on each side of the Avenue and these will be connected overhead by crescents. Then on the columns will be engraved the names of all the men of Washington and Lee who have been in the service. The central columns will contain the bronze plates on which will be en- graved the names of the men who died in the service. That this memorial will add beauty and splendor to the already majestic campus of Washing- ton and Lee is apparent at first sight. It is the beginning of a greater Wash- ington and Lee and we hope that be- fore the movement is over the job will be well done. This arch will furnish a need which has long been felt and no better opportunity could have pre- sented itself. While we have not been definitely informed as to the matter it is likely that an enthusiastic campaign will be launched to raise the necessary funds to erect this arch. The greater part of the money will probably be donated by the University, part will come from the scattered alumni and the student body will be given an opportunity to donate to the fund. When the move- ‘ as headquarters for the returning sons -1 V ment is launched it is hoped that every man on the campus will be embued with a co-operative spirit and will do all in his power to make the campaign a success. The Ring-tum-Phi wishes to con- gratulate the University upon this movement on its part and will be glad to help in any way possible through the medium of its columns. PLANS FOR FINALS Plans are now well under way to make Finals 1919 truly a “victory re- union” for Washington and Lee stu- dents and alumni. The alumni com- mitte, composed of T. W. Gilliam, E. D. Campbell, G. P. Wilson and L. A. McMurray have met in conjunction with other student, alumni and Uni- versity authorities to work out defi- nite ideas for the program of enter- tainment to be offered the men who will return from the battlefields of France, as well as those from places not so far away to visit their alma mater next June. The University auth/:-rities have promised the use of the L:.e Dormitory of Washington and Lee. The Y. M. C. A. or some other organization is plan- ning to run a tallyho to meet all trains and welcome the incoming vet- erans. The program for Finals itself will be particularly modeled to ofier definite entertainment for the alumni, and will probably include a baseball] game between the alumni and varsity, and alumni banquet and other get-to- gether meetings, special attractions at the Doremus dances for the graduates of W. & L.—-besides the regular elab- orate and varied program of dances, boat races, promenades and Univer- sity functions which have always served to make Washington and Lee commencements famous both to those who partake and to the world at large. President Fainis making a special campaign for funds from the student body this spring to carry out his plans and states that the success of this year’s Finals depends on whole-heart- ed financial as well as moral support from all Washington and Lee men. The Final week executive committee is busy obtaining pledges from every man in the student body, and although in the majority of cases so far the re- sponse has been generous, it is con- sidered essential for every man to sub- scribe to the limit of his ability and if possible to raise his former sub- scription.

Game On Friday the semi-finals of the interfraternity basketball league re- sulted in the elimination of the A. T. O’s. and Betas by the K. A’s. and the Alpha Chi Rhos in the order named. The K. A. team which played the A. T. O’s. was a different aggregation than the K. A. team which played the P. K. A’s. They played a tight ag- gressive game and guarded exception- ally well. Paulett who retired to the stationary guard after the tip-off did not allow a single field goal. Sloan was the individual star, scoring both field goals made by his team. The final score was 4 to O. A. X. P.-Beta Game The Alpha Chi Rhos had no trouble in defeating the Beta Theta Pis and the score at the end of the game stood 6 to 1 in their favor. Morrison as usual played a wonderful game and scored two field goals and Smitl: was responsible for the foul scored by the Betas. Due to lack of space the lineup: will be omitted. Sigma Chi-Beta ‘Game Thursday the accurate goal shoot- ing Sigma Chi quint met defeat at the hands of the husky Beta Theta Pi team by the close score of 5 to 4. The game was very close and until the final whistle was sounded the result of the contest was not certain. Henderson showed up well for the Sigs, while Hindry played good basketball for the Betas. A. X. P.-Phi Kappa Sig Game The same afternoon of the Sigma Chi-Beta game the Phi Kappa Sigmas were beaten by the Alpha Chi Rhos the final score being 5 to 3. This game was almost phenominal as it developed that the game was a duel between Morrison and Jones, these men mak- ing every score made by their sides. The final score stood Lllorrison 5 Jones 3. Each man was ably supported by the members of his team. S. A. E.-A. T. O. and K. A.-P. K. A. Games In the first games of the second round of the league Wednesday after- noon the S. A. E’s were eliminated by the A. T. O’s. by a score of 8 to 6 and the K. A’s. administered a 6 to 4 de- feat to the P. K. As. Both games were very exciting as the teams were evenly matched and many spectacular plays were executed. In the A. T. O.- S. A. E. game Shrimp Jones ran wild and got three field goals out of his system before he was stopped, all three coming from mid-floor. He had asystem of goal shooting all of his own but it brought results. The S. A. E’s felt the loss of Sutton keenly and there might have been a different outcome had he been in the game. His absence was due to a sore knee. In the K. A.-P. K. A. contest the work of Price for the victors was the outstanding feature. This elusive for- ward found the basket twice while Runt Trotter added the other tally to their score. For the P. K. A’s. Perry Howerton was the shining light,throw- ing a basket without so much as look- ing where the ball was going. Phi Kappa Psi-Phi Kappa Sig Game On March 11 the Phi Kappa Sigmas defeated the Phi Kappa Psis by the large score of 2 to U, Milce Jones thereby occupying the limelight by scoring two more points than the com- bined men on both sides. Heavy Henderson also made a name for him- self at stationary guard and rendered several of the opposing team station- ary for awhile. The game was con- spicuous for its rough play and there- fore thoroughly enjoyed by the spec- tators. Beta-S. P. E. Game On Monday, March 10th the last half of the first round of the interfraternity basketball series was started and re- sultedin the Betas’s triumph over the S. P. E’s. This game was undoubtedly the most hotly contested game of the entire series and ran into two extra periods, the score remaining 5 to 5 until Smith dropped the ball in the cage for the winning tally. Thomp- son was forced to leave the game with a badly sprained shoulder. Sigma Chi-Phi Delta Theta Game The Sigma Chis experienced no Ts difficulty in winning from the Phi Delta Thetas the final score being 8 to 0. Hence Young played the best game for the Phi Delta Thetas and Dan McLeon starred for the Sigs, caging two baskets from mid-field. GRID. SCHEDULE FOR 1919 MADF. PUBLIC (Contf: ucd from Page 1) on October ."-5th. These first four games are somewhat preliminaries to the big con‘;‘sts which follow, and after these practice gaitzes the Big Team should be in the best of shape. It is significant that the first four games are played on the home grounds. The first big game of any conse- quence comes Nov. 1st when the Gen- crals meet V. P. I. in Roanoke. Not only is the game important because of the usual strength of the two teams but also for the fact that it marks the resumption of football relation be- tween the two institutions, the last meeting being in 1915. Both teams will be in the pink of condition and the game will no doubt be hard fought from start to finish. Then the game with Georgia Tech on Nov. 8th in Atlanta. This is con- sidered the South’s biggest football game of the season and all eyes are usually centered on the game because the result is material in deciding the Southern Champions. Coach Raftery is eager to even up matters with Geor- gia Tech for the defeat of last year still burns deep in the memory of the White and Blue supporters. It is a safe bet to say that the old score will be obliterated. The Big Home Game will be staged on Wilson Field on Nov. 15th, when University of South Carolina invades Virginia. The Generals have not met this aggregation for a few years but South Carolina usually has one of the- strongest teams in the South. This will certainly be the best game played in Lexington and a large number of the alumni will probably flock in to see the contest and renew acquain- tances. Saturday, Nov. 22nd, the Generals will go to Washington, where they will meet Georgetown. These two insti— tuitions have been meeting annually and the game is always a close one. This will be the first time Washing- ton and Lee has played in the Capital for several years and it should draw an unusually large number of spec- tators. The Thanksgiving date is still open but negotiations are being had with several large universities and this date will be filled in the near future. TAKE NOTICE ALUMNI! To the Editor of the Washington and A_\,\': University Alumni Magazine: It is requested and very vigorously urged that the alumni of Washing- ton and Lee University who have ser- ed in any capacity with the American Expeditionary forces and who have snap—shot photographs, taken .in France, forward copies of all such photographs together with the neces- sary explanatory information to be used as captions, to the Officer in Charge, Pictorial Section, Historical Branch, War Plans Division, General Staff, Army War College, Washing- ton, D. C. These photographs are requested for incorporation in the permanent pictorial files which will serve as the official photographic record and his- tory of the war. C. W.

BATED * Debating Council Unable to Ar- range Debate With George Washington University. It was announced in the columns of the Ring-tum—Phi a few weeks ago that the debating council was trying to arrange a debate between Washing- ton and Lee University and George Washington University. However, the debating council has been unable to secure this debate and so it re- mains that VV. & L. will enter into one intercollegiate debate only this year and this will be with Trinity College. The debate will be held at some time during the Spring term, possibly in April. No subject for the debate has yet been selected. Trinity College is to propose the subject and Washington and Lee will choose the side she will uphold. A notice will be posted on the bulletin board announcing the sub- ject and the date for the “try-outs” as soon as the subject is selected. DEATH OF J. PORTER GREEN Dr. Smith recently received a letter from Miss Emma S. Green of Uvalde, Texas, telling of the death in action of her brother, J. Porter Green, ex-’18, on Sept. 29, 1918. Green was in college here when war was declared in the spring of 1917, and hoping to see service immediately. he enlisted in the Washington and Lee Ambulance unit. He longed for action, and the enforced idleness fo the unit after its training was completed at .-t1len'tow.i, Penn., was unbearable to him, so early in 1918, he secured a transfer into the Engineers. He saile for England shortly afterwards. Still his daring and adventurous spirit was unsatisfied, and upon reaching England he again secured a transfer, this time into the most dangerous and exciting service he could find—the Heavy Tanks After a course of training in England he was sent to France as a member of the British Expeditionary Forces. It was while serving with the tanks that Green was killed. LIEUT. MOOMAW MET DEATH IN ACTION Continued fro; Page 1 tain the whereabouts of Lieutenant Moomaw. In October he was reported missing in action since Sept. 29th, and a few months later his father, Rev. B. C. Moomaw, of Roanoke, received word that his son had been located in a Ger- man prison camp, but he was blind and had lost his mind from shell shock. Rev. Moomaw was just preparing to go overseas to see his son when the above message was received. It now seems certain that Lieutenant Moo- maw was killed in action according to the circumstances related above, and it is with a distinct feeling of sorrow that his many friends in Lexington are forced to give up all hope of his saf- ety. Lieutenant Moomaw was one of the most popular men at Washington and Lee during his stay here both as a student and as a professor of law. He received his LLB from the law school in 1912, and was offered a place on the faculty which he held until his enlist- ment. He was captain of the 1911 ‘football team, president of the Junior law class, vice-president of the Ath- letic council, and was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, the Cotil- lion club, and the Pan and Sigma Rib- bon societies.

SATTNTIN PLEA Thousands of men are using today the same Moore pen that went through ' twelve days later. their services were no longer needed, and ordered them back to be demob- ilized, the entire regiment entrained, but never reached their destination. While on their way back an order came fihrough placing them on guard duty along the tracks of Lehigh Valley railroad in the vicinity of Allentown, Penn. Then started the war with Germany. Two per cent of the enlisted per- sonnel was to be detailed for study an officers’ training school and Major Wilcox was among those sel- ected. He took a course at Madison Barracks, N. Y., and received a com- mission as captain on August 15, 1917. He was assigned to Camp Dix For ashort time he was attached to he 311th infantry of the 78th divis- ion. Then the 153rd Depot Brigade was organized and Major Wilcox be- came a member of the first battalion. One month later he was transferred to serve as assistant brigade adju- tant and on August 24th, 1918, he was }9romoted to the rank of major. Major VVilcox has been a member of-the board to examine army chaplain can- didates since the organization of the board. Before entering the Wilcox practiced law in Ccranton, Penn. During the four years preced- ing his enlistment he had been lectur- ing for the University of Pennsylvania on the subject of “Government Regu- lation of Business.” Major Wilcox received his academic education at Hamilton College and lflter studied law at Washington and Lee University.

RING-TUM-PHI ;'Y” ENTERTAINMENT OF RARE EXCELLENCE Mrs. Thornberry’s Vocal Selec- tions Please Audience’. Front Row Seats in Great Demand. The Y entertainment Friday night prvoed to be one of rare merit and quality-I. Miss Ripley of Kentucky, Mrs. Thornberry of Illinois, Miss ‘Mor- row of Ohio, and Mr. LaFollette of Washington State, rendered a variety of entertainment that was greatly en- joyed by all those present. The students sang several favorites as an opener and the “Coast Artillery Song" found a hearty response. L. 'l‘. Brown introduced the entertainers. Miss Ripley rendered a piano solo that made the old Y piano take new life and after responding to several en- cores Miss Ripley accompanied Mrs. Thornberry. Mrs. Thornberry's vocal solo brought an appreciative encore and as a result, the students, collec- tively and individually, lost their hearts completely. “Can't You Hear Me A’Callin, Caroline,” and the per- sonality of the entertainer was a treat to all. Among the several other en- cores, “Kisses” was the most capti- vating. Peale and Hindry seemed to have a “corner” on those that were thrown from the platform. Although handicapped by a severe cold, Miss Morrow rendered several enjoyable readings that added greatly to the entertainment. Lovers of the violin pronounced Mr. LaFollette a master. His selections were so well played that the audience brought him back to the platform several times. Miss Ripley, as an accompanist,proved to be as entertaining as she was a soloist. This is the second entertainment of its kind that Washington and Lee has been favored with this year. These entertainments are a part of the war work program of the Y and serve to make the local Y more popular than ever for this one was well received and if Mrs. Thornberry will make a return engagement they will all con- 'tinu:e to be. BASEBALL SQUAD VERY PROMISING (Continued from Page 1) iliorbett, who was captain of the ‘Georgetown Prep. in 1917, handles himself well and will undoubtedly make the Varsity. Brown pitched for the Porter Military Academy last sea- son and with the coming of warmer weather will prove his ability. Bus- kirk is also out for the pitching staff and although he has not had much ex- perience in pitching, Coach Raftery believes he can make a good man out of him. The other pitching candi- dates are Bailey, Page and Ordeman. For catcher, Drye seems to have the edge on the rest of the candidates at present, but Henry, F. A., Thorn- burg’, and Wadsworth are all showing up Well and will give any man a hard run for the position.- Coach Raftery expects to stage a six inning game as soon as the weath- er turns a little warmer and after the men get the soreness worked out. Then it will be possible to get a better line on the men. During the past few days Coach Raftery has beenassisted by Harry Moran, ’14. Moran will be remembered as one of the greatest pitchers in the country and has an enviable record in the American League. Manager Barron is busy arranging a schedule and it will soon be ready for publication. The majority of the games will be played on Wilson Field. 1 ‘day. We find in all of it a note of‘ OMICRON DELTA KAPPA INITIATESJ Continued from Page 1 of adventure. More than thirty well- known poets of England and Amer-i—f ca have been at the front. To these‘ poets, such as Rupert Brooke, Edward Thomas, Alan Seegar and Joyce Kil- mer, the war gave a new utterance. “In the poems of these war poets,”*‘ the speaker continued, “we find also? a new and livelier note of brother- hood.” The spirit of this new frater- nity is exemplified in Florence Holt’s “England and America.” In the con- test for a true democracy, the world is losing nationality and obtaining universality. These war poets cele- brate the redemptive power of democ- racy, Dr. Metcalf emphasized. At this point in his address, he said that the poetry of the war might be divided into four groups. These are the popular songs of the war sung all over the country, poems of fiery ac- tion conceived on the battle front,poems of special phases of the war, and last, the poetry of the vast world brother- hood and the new democracy. Alan Seegar, the author of lthe wonderful poem beginning, ‘I have a rendezvous with death’, died at the front in 1916. Dr. Metcalf thinks that coming generations will remember this poet and Rupert Brooke as ex- ponents of freedom and democracy, as past generations have remembered Sir Philip Sidney and Lord Byron. Grantland Rice, a rising American poet, wrote a very beautiful tribute?_‘ to Seegar. . It is the belief of Dr. Metcalf that‘ the most widely known poem of the’ War is John McCrae’s “In Flanders’ Fields." ‘ field and has been a great inspiration: to our soldiers. The most human and} religious poet that the war produced was Joyce Kilmer. One of his poems, “Trees,” is a classic already and his sonnet on the ‘Peacemaker’ is par- ticularly fine. He died fighting. Aviation is the one branch of the service that has appealed most strong- ly to the imaginations of the poets, Several of them went into this branch: of the service.
