At this stage every man Generals team was playing brilliant basketball and completely outclassing the invaders. Wood was put out of the game via the four personal route and after that the team seemed to collapse with the Statemen going stronger every minute. They were led in this late rally by their tall center, Goodwin, who seemed to sink baskets from every conceivable angle. on the | During these last minutes the score, changed from 29-29 to 45-29 and de- veloped into a walk—away. Goodwin couldn’t be stopped and during this stage sank six baskets while his pass- ing was responsible for the other two. The game started off fast with both teams fighting for the lead. The Generals were playing their custom- ary short fast passing game while the invaders resorted to a sensation- ally successful long shooting type of game. The visitors never even both- ered to attempt to work the ball in towards the basket but would simply shoot from any point on the court. They gave the greatest exhibition of‘ long distance scoring seen in Doremus Gym this season. State gained the lead in the middle of the first half and held it from them on until the latter par of the second half when the Generals suc- ceeded in knotting the count. At the end of the half the visitors were in front by a 22-17 count. The Generals were outclassed when the Carolina men ran wild. Goodwin easily copped high scor- ing honors for the night with his ten baskets. Johnson and Lowry were closest to him with ten each. Spotts was the next with nine. Wood’s all- around playing was the feature of the Generals playing for the night. McDowall, all-southern half back, Virginia frosh. toes to keep his position. Third Convention of S. I. P. A. To Be Held Here in May The third convention of the South- ern Interscholastic Press Association will be held at Washington and Lee in the early part of May. The exact date has not been set on account of possible conflict with Student Body elections. This convention will be held under the joint auspices of Pi Delta Epsilon, national journalistic fraternity, and the Lee school of Journalism. R. D. Powers, president of Pi Delta Epsilon and Professort R. B. Ellard, head of the Journalism school, are co-operat- ing in making tentative plans. Publicity will be started next week and letters or invitation will be mail- ed to all ranking high and prep schools in the south. More than 150 delegates are expected with practic- ally all southern states being well represented. Pi Delta Epsilon will meet Thurs- day afternoon at five o’clock in the third floor of Washington college for the purpose of announcing the follow- ing committees: housing, entertain- ment, banquet, general program, pub- licity, and awarding of prizes. After the announcement of these commit- tees, work will be rapidly pushed for- ward to make this year’s convention eclipse those held heretofore. 0 Baby Generals Meet Cavaliers Tuesday i ..,_____. , VVashington and Lec’s freshman basketeers, with a record of nine vi- ctories and no defeats, will journey to Charlottesville Tuesday night for a return game with the University of The Little Generals annaxed two more scalps during the past week and are in splendid condi- tion to trounce the Cavalier Yearl- ings again. With the return of forward Jacobs into tip—top condition, the problem of Coach Davis is the necesity of keep- ing good men on the bench rather than lack of suitable material. Cox seems to have won a regular birth by virtue of his good showingin the last three battles.

HELL WEEK—-«FR/lT INITI/lTES—— SHINES ADORN THE CAMPUS “Hell Week. Fraternity initiations. Trembling freshmen. Crazy attire. Toy wagons for transportation. Silent Freshmen. Following examiations. the different fraternities on the Washington and Lee campus are swinging into “Hell Week”, or “Goat Week”. About half of the fraternities on the campus have been putting their goats through the annual antics this week, while oth- ers are waiting until next week, and even the week following, to begin initation. In the past few years this week of terror to fraternity freshmen has be- come somewhat of an institution in the University. Freshmen look forward to it from the day they are pledged, fear it when the week is in actual progress, and look back on their week of “shin- es” with a sort of pride when they have passed through that part of the initiation. Roller Motion skates. pictures cameras. Boxing gloves. Spats. Umbrellas. The people of Lexington have be- come so accustomed to the usual antics of fraternity freshmen during this week, that unless the “shine” is particularly good they pay little at- tention. Very seldom is any con- demnation of such antics heard from the townspeople. Fraternity freshmen expect such a week of terror. Other men on the campus expect it also. During this week the general spirit and attitude of the freshmen seem to change. They become vitally interested in their frat- ernity and their university. It is the psychological effect of the complete domination of the upper classman for at least one week. The annual goat week is spread over a longer length of time this year than for several years. While some of the fraternities have entirely finished their initiation ceremonies, others are in the midst of the week of “horse play,” and still others have not begun. Freshman Quint Breaks Records For High Scores The Little Generals, according to statistics, have the best record of any collegiate basketball team in the South, and probably the entire nation. They have scored 458 points in nine games agaist 171 for their oppon- ents, giving an average of over 51 points per game. This is an unus- ual record, and the only one to our knowledge that can compare with it as far as scoring is concerned is the outstanding achievement of the Au- burn Plainsmen. The Auburn out- fit is at present considered the most dangerous threat for Vandy’s Con- ference crown. In thirteen win< out of thirteen starts they have ac— counted for 611 points for an aver- age of a little better than 50 per game. In a game with Vanderbilt, on the Commodores’ home court, one Plainsman, Jelly Akin, who has a to- tal of 206 points thus far, scored 26 points, or one less than the combin- ed efforts of the entire Vanderbilt of- fense. The highest score the frosh hoopmen have made was the 73 they scored against Devitt Prep in Washington re- cently. Their lowest total for a single encounter is the 30 scored against V. l’. I. in the season’s opener. _ Those responsible for the record- ln-caking and record-making perform- ances of the Little Generals are: for- wards: Hanna, Cox, Freeman; guards; Pilly, Faulkner, Thibodeau, Scott; Cap tain Williams, center and E. P. Davis, coach. ___%0T MISS RILEY TO WED Dr. and Mrs. have announced the engagement of their daughter, Frances Leigh to Walter C. Shorter, of New York City. The announcement was made Satur- day afternoon at a party given in her home to some of her childhood friends. ——~0 Generals Win Over Tech For Second Time Captain “Babe” Spotts lead his team to their second one-sided vic- tory of the year over the V. P. I. Gobblers in Blacksburg last Satur- day night when the Generals trium- phed 36-17. It marked the fourth successive triumph of the Blue and White over the Gobblers court team in two years. It also was another step on the ladder for the state cham- pionship which Coach Smith’s men are out to crop for the second suc- cessive year. To date the Generals and the Virginia Cavaliers are the only two teams to boast clean slates in all their state engagements. Saturday night’s game was simply a case of too much Spots. “Babe" ran wild scoring 22 points as his share of the evening’s entertainment, to celebrate his sixth and last appear- ance against V. P. I. in basketball. V. P. I. was handicapped consider- ably by the absence of their dimin- tive captain, Mike Pearman. Pear- man is still recuperating from an op- eration and will be out for the rest of the season. Coach Brown tried nu- merous combinations in an effort to stem the Generals and make up for the loss of Pearman, but was unsuc- cessful. TQM Three Visiting Speakers Receive High Praise Here Dr. Akagi, Baron Von Meyendorff, and Arthur Rugh, the three visiting speakers on the platform at the Dore- inus gymnasium last Monday, were well received by the audience at Washington and Lee. Their talks in various parts of the university were heard with much enthusiasm. Their visit to Lexington, as one stop in an extensive speaking tour, was made pleasant by entertainment at several fraternity houses. All three stayed at the Robert E. Lee hotel. Dr. Akagi took a meal in the Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta and Arcades houses. He came directly here from New York where he is serv- ing in the capacity of Secretary of the Japanese Student Christian As- sociation in the United States, and or- ganization of 1500 students. His speaking itinerary from Lexington back to New York includes Staunton and Bridgewater College. Franklin L. Rilty‘ Swimming Team Victors 38-22 In First Match Washington and Lee’s swimming team defeated Duke University last Saturday in Durham, 38 to 22, in the first match of the season. The 10- cals came away with four first places and the relay, while Duke had to be contented with three firsts, all of which were made by Earnhardt. Smith was high point man for the Generals, placing in the fancy div- ing and 220 yard free style events. Moffatt was next with eight points to his credit. Earnhardt, versatile swimmer of the Tar Heels, was high scorer of the met with three first places. Although the Blue and White swim mers were scheduled to meet the Greensboro Y. M. C. A. on this trip, this match had to be called off on ac- count of complications arising in the schedule of the two teams. Two meets remain on Manager Smith’s schedule, one with the Univ- ersity of Virginia on February 25, and one with Catholic University on Mar. 3. Following is the summary of the Duke meet. Fancy diving: 1st Smith (W. & L.) 2nd Gibson (Duke); 3rd Conner (Duke.) 50 yard free stlye: 1st Earnhardt (Duke); 2nd Farrel (W. & L.); 3rd Fangboner (W. & L.) 100 yard back stroke: 1st Moffatt (W. & L.); 2nd Cook (W. & L.); 3rd Atwood (Duke). 220 yard free style: 1st Smith (W. & L.); 2nd Swink (W. & L.); 3rd De- rickson (Duke). 100 yard breast stroke: 1st Earn- hardt (Duke); 2nd Reis (W. & L.); 3rd Stra‘norn (W. & ...) 100 yard free style: 1st Earnhardt (Duke); 2nd Moffatt (W. & L.); 3rd Bradley (Duke) Relay: won Lee. by Washington and 0 F rosh Cagers Held to Nine Point Win Margin The V. P. I. Rats fell before the Washington and Lee freshmen for the second time last Sunday at Blacks- burg by the count of 32 to 23. The Little Generals met some strong ap- position and did not pile up one of their lop-sided scores but had to be content with a nine point decision Ner their opponents. The Blue and White played a con- sistent game throughout, being on the long end of 19 to 10 total at the end of the first half. Cox, Coach Eddie Parks Davis’ new find, was the high point man of the evening with 7 field goals. Williams was closely guarded as was Hanna, due to their field day in the previous game with the. Techmen. Williams managed, however, to sneak through the oppos- ing guards for three field goals and a pair of free tosses. Hanna was held to a single basket from the floor. Faulkner and Pilley again did good work on the defense and were largely instrumental in keeping the Little Generals’ slate clean. Zirkle and Baker carried the brunt of the Goblers’ attack. Between them they scored 20 of their team’s total. Donaldson, the giant center, was smothered by the Washington and Lee defense and failed to secure a point. __:()_,c._ FRESHMAN SWIMMERS LOSE TO AUGUSTA CADETS HERE The Fresh Swimming team met with defeat in a return meet with Aug usta Military Academy here Monday 41 to 19. Martin, of the Little Generals, scor- ed ten of the loser’s points in the dives and the 50 yards dash. Janke, Zadehary and Faulconer accounted for the rest of the points by second in the following events, 50 yard dash, back stroke and 220-yard dash free style respectively.

Photos of Ball Sent to Fifteen City Newspapers 85 taken at the recent Fancy Dress Ball Approximately photographs at Washington and Lee have been sent to the rotogravure and society sections of fifteen prominent daily newspapers throughout the country. The photographs, togather with sto- ries of the Fancy Dress Ball itself, were prepared and mailed for publi- cation by the University Publicity de- partment, the Troubadour Publicity department and the Calyx. The photographs of the Ball were taken by White’s studio of New York. Individual pictures of a large number of members of the figure, of the leaders and assistant leaders of the dance, and of the most attractive costumes at the ball were taken. These groups were prepared and as- sorted according to the various sec- tions of the country for publication. Quite a number of attractive pho- tographs were secured by White’s. The best ones will appear in the fea- ture section of the 1928 Calyx this spring. Newspapers in Atlanta, Birming- ham, New Orleans, Chicago, Mem- phis, New York, Washington ,Phila— delphia and other prominent cities will receive the photographs. A number of these papers used pictures of the 1927 Fancy Dress Ball in their rotogravure sections last year. The pictures of the ball this year will pro- bably appear on Sunday, February 25. __0_?

AN OUTSTANDING PROGRAM HOUSE LAST THE C°P NIGHT ? WELL V‘/A5 RIGHT ASHINGTON and Lee students have had the opportunity WHI D'D""T BEHWD ME over the past week-end to hear the greatest array of forceful You COME W ' speakers ever brought to Lexington. Dr. Thompson, Arthur Rugh, Dr. Akagi, and Baron Von Meyendorfl", any one of whom would make a first-class speaking program alone, produce a series of lecturers and discussion leaders when teamed together which it will take superhuman efforts on the part of those in charge of the meetings here to surpass. The type of messages presented, the broad viewpoints express- ed by these men, their tolerance of the ideas of others, their willingness to hear contrary opinions on moot subjects, and their discussion of practical problems in which thinking students are interested, all operated to line up the student body behind them. The attendance at the voluntary meetings provs that Washing- ton and Lee men are still interested in hearing worth—while speak- ers, and that they are not basically as unsound mentally as cer- tain alarmists would have the public and administration believe. What a refreshing change after the several men advertised as “outstanding” who appeared here last year! Certain men who spoke here during the 1926-27 session did more to undermine the character of university assemblies and to detract from the in- fluence of the university Y. M. C. A. on the campus than did all other operative facts put together. Credit should be given the Y. M. C. A. and secretary C. H. Pat- terson for realizing the true situation at W. & L.

CADETS The Blue and White freshman cage artists continued their winning streak by trampling the Staunton Military Academy quint by the score of 47 to 24 on the Staunton court Monday night. The Washington and Lee team got off to a slow start, but gra- dually picked up momentum during the second quarter and practically had things its own way in the se- cond half. The Little Generals led by the slim margin Of six points at half time, due to the inability of Captain Williams and his mates to locate the basket consistently. However, the second half was another story. With Cox, Williams and Hanna getting into high gear, the Cadets were completely out of the picture. It was the Little General machine that swamped Vir- ginia which passed and dribbled all around the bewildered S. M. A. boys. Cox led the chase with 13 points. Wil- liams and Hanna followed with 11 each, while Faulkner accounted for 7. The game was the big event in Sta- unton Monday night. A band was present which played before the game and between the halves. 70 girls from Mary Baldwin Seminary atten- ded the game. -McCoy’s Three Stores FRUITS, CANDIES CAKES And All Good Things To Eat.

M. C. A. and Baron Alex- ander Von Meyendorff, Russian aristocrat and refugee from his native country, were the speakers at the University assembly held on Monday in the Doremus gymnasium. The problems of China and Russia and their bearing on international re- lations with the United States formed the keynote of each address. Dr. Henry Louis Smith, in welcom- ing the speakers, severely criticised the present militaristic tendencies in the government of the United States, especially emphasizing his view of the legislative chambers as being too much of militaristic bodies instead of law-making assemblies. He further stated that the object in presenting dents of Washington and Lee the ideas these speakers was to give the stu- point. __mo_.___ VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS MEETING AT FARMVILLE (Continued from Page 1) Washington and Lee; secretary-treas- urer, R.
