This: makes the third consecutive year. that the varsity relay men have wal- ked away with the cup at the ex- pense of Virginia, while the fresh- men were only 1-5 of a second be- hind the varsity time in taking the bacon away from the yearling iun—l ners from Virginia and William and’ Mary‘. Captain Reardon ran thel 45 yard low hurdles in 5.4 secondsl to break the tape. } l Sandifcr sprang into the lead im- mediately in the varsity lace, andi le(l his Virginia opponent around the track passing the baton to Brock wih a 15-foot ad‘-iantage.

Grant established a 20-: foot advantage which Bigham and‘ Shepherd decidedly increased, and Dickey, running as anchor man, showed his heels to the crowd to fin-, ish the distance and establish the team’s time at 3:45 3-5. Reardon was hard presed in the low hurdle event, but came in strong to win by the proverbial eyelash. Patter- son in the hur(lles, Sproul in the high jump, and Butler in the two- mile failed to place. Virginia won the meet with 22 points, but VVashington and Lee got what it came after—the third con- secutive victory in the special relay. Tuttlo, of Duke, left the other famed miler far behind to knock 10 seconds off his record. Robinson, of Vir- ginia, had things pretty much his own way in the 880, while his team- mate, M. LaBaucr, broke the rec- ord for the shot—put with a heave of 45 feet. Cummings won the 45 yard dash for the Cavaliers. Summary: University of Virginia, 22 points. Maryland University, 12 points. Duke University, 12 points. Richmond, 5 points. Washington and Lee, 5 points. George VVashington, 3 points. University of North Carolina, points.

RING-TUM PHI TO RUN SPECIAL COLUMN FOR MEETINGS IN FUTURE In line with its policy of try- ing to he of the greatest service to the university, the RING- TLM PHI will inaugurate a spe- cial column devoted exclusively to notices of meetings, special gatherings, and similar func- tions if a demand evidences it- self. Beginning with Salurday’s is- sue, secretaries or other author- ized representatives of campus organizations, athletic managers, and others in like capacities are invited to hang notices, properly signed, on the bulletin board hook in the journalism quarters. If it appears after a trial that the plan serves a real need of the university, the column will be continued, and will be run in a regular position, so stuilonts can fnid at a glance whzit is going on at VVashigton and Lee. ———=—0 ll-ion.

The jname of Washington is upon the :lips of every American .A state has been named for the great Colonial; the capital of the nation bears his name, and countless other -cities throughout the country bear ‘the same appellation. Monuments and memorials of all kinds and de- scription have been erected in com- memoration of his service. In the field of education there are three great universities that stand as tributes in nomenclature to him~— George Washington, Washington and Jefferson, and Washington and Lee. Here at Washington and ice, oividonds from Virginia's gift o1‘!4p-! gpreciation to George Washington are still helping to bring education to ‘American boys. In 1784, the Virgin- ia legislature organized the James ‘River company for improvement of navigation on the James river, and lofferecl George Washington 100 shar- in the company, a fund now valued ‘.1.<50,000.

The young Virgin- ians proved to be no match for the fast W. & L. outfit, who broke away at will from the Cavalier defense to gradually increase throughout the game the lead they acquired in the early minutes. The Little Generals got off to an early 7 point lead, which they in- creased to fifteen at half time, the score being 25 to 10. Captain Wil- liams and his basketeers from Lex- ington outplayed their opponents in every department of the game, shoot- ing passing, and dribbling in a fashion never before seen in the Cavalier gym it was stated by specta- ‘ tors.

In his formal re- fusal, however, he added that if it: ;were agreeable, he would accept the lfund and turn it over to some object of public nature, such as a educa- ;tional institution. This suggestion was approved. Af- ter waiting until 1797, the year when the stock was most productive, Gen- eral Washington directed that the stool’ be granted to Liberty Hall academy, in Rockbridge couty. This institution was valued at less than $20,000 at that time had 45 students attending it. Immediately after acquiring the endowment of W'ashington, the trus- tees of Liberty Hall academy changed the name of this institution to VVash— ington academy. Evidence that this met with the modest approval of General VVashington is furnished in a letter written by him to the trus- tees shortly after he learned that the (Continued on Page 3) UNEVERSITY ASSEMBLY The ne):?.: regular conipulnory Uni“vcr,si‘ty Assembly will be held in *‘ 1:00 P.

It looked as though the famous Cavalier attack was about to open up with a big lead, but Coach Smith's men came back fast and Eiglebach and Lowry dropped two sensational baskets in succes- sion after beautiful passing and floorwork from Spotts and Wood. the Generals in the lead by a slim margin which they held until a minute t b ttl d 3 eams a e on ‘ rally and gave the Blue and White a Special Birthday Issue Crown From After several minutes of the fireworks by sinking a long shot It put Tyler sank a foul for the Cavaliers and then Captain Spotts fought his way through the defense to increase the Blue and White's slim lead with an overhand shot from the foul line. Captain Mead of the invaders, a Lexington boy, came back a minute later with a brilliant long shot from the center of the court. Eiglebach sank a foul making the score 7-5. The Generals missed a couple of snowbirds un- der the basket and then Jones sank another long one for Virginia to tie it up. The two teams then resorted to strong defensive playing with Wood scintillating. Ernie took the ball away from Tyler and Millen, both over six foot three tall, passed it to Babe in the middle of the court and Babe dribbed through the Vir- ginia defense to sink a basket and again put the Generals in the lead. Wood followed this up a minute lat- er by ducking under the same two men and dropping in a beauty from the side. Fayonsky then sank an- other long one, Millen a foul, and then Millen got through the Generals defense to drop in one of the few short shots the invaders were able to get. Wood broke up the Cavalier one point lead with a clever basket, shooting with three men on top of him. Millen then put the visitors in the lead just before the half ended by again counting on a long one to make the half score 14-13. Captain Mead opened up the sec- ond half with another long distance shot. Spotts then counted on a foul. Fayonsky increased the Cavalier lead to four points with a basket. from the center of the court. Gene White, who replaced Lowry at the start of second half, dropped one clean through from halfway-back on the side of the court. It was one of the few distance shots the Generals tri- ed and the only one that was suc- cessful. Gene followed it up a sec- ond later by banking one in from the side to tie up the score at 18-18. The gallery.rocked a minute later when Babe made a foul which put the Blue and White in the lead. Cap- tain Meade grabbed it right back for his team on another long one. Captain Spotts retaliated with a score for the Generals. Captain Mead again brought the Cavaliers to the front. Eiglebach then took up the job and made good on two free throws. Jones then tied it up with one from the foul line. He followed this with a sensational short one to put the Orange and Blue in front. Fayonsky sank a foul to increase the margin. Mead dropped another from the center of the court and it looked as if the Generals were sunk since (Continued on Page Three) 0 Neckwear Style Favors Figures Small-figured neckwear has taken the lead in college men’s preference over the familiar striped patterns in most of the leading institutions of the United States, according to style observers of Men's Wear and the Daily News Record, authorita- tive fashion and trade periodicals of the Fairchild Publications of New York City.

Washington and Lee will The Generals will leave tomorrow for Lynchburg, where they take the train for Atlanta. A squad of eight men in addition to Coach Smith and Manager Alderson will make the trip. The personnel of the team was largely determined by last night’s game and was not available as the RING-TUM PHI went to press. The V. M. I. team is making the trip with the Generals, and the two combinations have engaged a special Pullman for the journey. Neither Vanderbilt, last year‘s conference champion, or Maryland, a likely contender, have entered the tourney. Vanderbilt has had a dis- appointing season and probably did not enter for that reason, while Maryland had several nonconference battles on her week’s card. University of North Carolina and Auburn are generally favored by the dopesters as the most serious con- tenders, due to their great showings against conference foes throughout the season. Carolina will pry off the lid in a contest with Louisiana State, the Plainsmen take on Clemson as while the Plainsmen take on Clem- son as their first opponent. Virginia Military Institute is on the schedule with Georgia for Fri- day afternoon, with Florida taking on Georgia Tech and Kentucky en- gaging South Carolina.

OUR NATIONAL CONVENTION NLY ABOUT three months of the regulariluniversity ses- sion remain, and leaders in the Student Body are beginning to talk of the Washington and Lee national political convention. Those men who were in school in the spring of 1924 remember the several days consumed by the Democratic convention held here that year, and point with justifiable pride to the fact that,l after days of wrangling and balloting, in which McAdoo, Smithl and Davis alternately took the lead, John W. Davis, later to be named in the regular convention in June, was chosen as the nominee of the W. & L. student body. So far as is known, this is the only school whose convention resulted in the selection of the man later officially designated as the leader of the forces in the national election. The tenaciousness of the Alabama student delegation in stick- ing to their favorite almost to theend, and their droll call of “Alabama gives 82 votes for Underwood,” is well remembered, and again the wisdom of the student politicians was borne out when the ’Bamans in the true convention in the summer stuck to their leader in similar fashion. It has not yet been decided whether this year’s convention will be Democratic or Republican. It is the idea of the leaders here to allow the student body to voice its opinion as to which party shall be unofficially directed in its choice by the sentiment here,} although the majority of the men who have expressed an opin—‘. ion so far are agreed that it should be Democratic, since the vast], majority of students are from Southern states, and are natural-‘, ly more vitally interested and better posted on the Democraticl national situation. The mock convention is something which will be looked for—3Z ward to with pleasure. The 1924 meetings were given wide pub—l licity, and much prestige was added to the name of Washington! and Lee when the local choice was named in June. Heads of delegations will be chosen, the apportionment of votes will be alloted in accordance with the regulations of the national convention, and the rules governing nominating, balloting, and all details of the convention will be followed as closely as pos- sible here. Every state which is likely to push a “favorite son” at the Houston convention in June is well represented on the campus, while the candidates who appear to be in the lead na- tionally have their followers here as well. Washington and Lee has its ardent wets, its arid prohibitionists, its men of all religi- ous and political faiths, and the convention should be one colored by fully as much rivalry as will crop out in Clen Shaver’s own show in Texas. Al Smith, Newton D. Baker, John W. Davis, Walsh, Under- wood, Heflin, Jim Reed, Byrd, Glass, Albert Ritchie and Claude Swanson all have their followers among the students. All have their talking points, based on prohibition, religion, international relations and domestic affairs deeply impressed upon the minds of the thinking men on the campus. ' Washington and Lee’s convention should‘ be an even bigger success than the one four years ago, and, if Democratic, we believe that a battle fully as interesting as the one promised for Houston will be staged. _..__0m WILL THE FLAG BE FLOWN? ASHINGTON and Lee has two big holidays during the year, each devoted to the celebration of the birth of one of its sponsors. Lee’s birthday, January 19, passed without a flag being flown from the top of Washington College, and today, the anniversary of Washington’s birth, likewise went by without any sign of esteem visible to visitors. Why have a flag pole on top of the main building if it is to be used only for assisting freshmen to get at the Washington statue to paint it the night before Easter? We claim as a part of our sacred heritage the financial endow- ment by George Washington and the upbuilding of the university during the post-war days by President Robert E. Lee. On the birthday of the latter we have a Founder’s Day assembly, to which visitors are “invited”, but letlthe day pass without any outward sign of reverence. Today we have nothing more than a university holiday, and students go to nearby towns to have what is to most of them the first big “blow” since Fancy Dress. Last spring there were enough interested persons connected with the administration to see that a flag was placed upon the No. 23, 19278 Modern studies of Intelligence and Success prove conclusively that mere Intellecutal Ability csmstitutes the lesser half of a young American’s qualifications for Success.

Dr. Ayoma is returning to Japan after making an extended research into the platinum group of elements at Danzig, Leyden, and Copenhagen. This study has been conducted for several years in Europe. Dr. Howe has been studying this group of rare elemtns for 42 years. The arrival of Ayoma in New York is expected at any time, Dr. Howe said. Upon reaching America, Ayoma will wire Dr. Howe immediately and proceed to Lexington. His stay will be short, lasting only two or three days. No word from the universal chemist has been received in two weeks but it is a certainity that Ayoma will be in Lexington within a few days. The two chemists will devote their time together in discussing their most recent researches. Many im- portant principles of chemistry and science are being uncovered by them. They have been corresponding in German regularly for years. It is hoped that Ayoma will con- sent to lecture in some of the chem- istry classes but this is ot definite. After his stay in Lexington, Ayoma will continue his return to Japan. ————0 COMMERCE THESE PROGRESSING RAPIDLY According to Dr. G. D. Hancock, dean of the commerce school, the seniors in commerce are progressing very satisfactorily witht the work on their thesis. These papers, whic‘. are required of every senior in tlcgf school of Commerce who All of the men who are now work- ing on their theses have chosen "their subjects, and are actively engaged in the research work which is a regular part of each paper. Practically the entire year is allowed the men for this work, as extensive rczuling and collecting of materials is necessary. The subjects must be approved by the faculty of the commerce school. The faculty also aids the seniors by giving them individual help ad advise as to where the information they may need can be secured. The thesis is the active culmination of the four years of work in the commerce school, and the papers which are presented as part of the requirement for the degree of B. S. in Commerce, are filed and become the property of the University. mom CAMPUS TAX IS FAVORED IN GRAHAM-LEE DEBATE A campus tax for the support of Finals and publications which each student should pay when registering would be an improvement over the is an ap-‘ iplicant for a degree, are due in May. iiantom l The Gray i’ Cats begin to crawl from the garbage cans.

Hours Among The Latest Boo/as THE GREAT AMERICAN BAND WAGON, by Charles Merz It is always entertaining and un- usual to get a glimpse of ourselves from the inside, but it is more en- tertaining and much more unusual when this glimpse is merely 2). clever picture, not embodying criticism in any form. Such a picture of Amer- ica froin inside is given in the “Great American Band Wagon,” by Charles Merz. Incidentally the pub- lication of this book marks the completion of the first year of “The Literary Guild of America.” “The Great American Band Wa- gon” is simply a series of clever sketches of certain phases of the life of New America which many of us notice every day, but seldom take the trouble to think about. Mr. Merz writes of such subjects as the following: “Caravan,” “Sweet Land of Secrecy,” “Bigger and Better Murders,” “Plus Fours,” “Headline Heroes” and “Young America.” There is no attempt at criticism and no effort is made to say that America is geting either better or worse, but merely clever comments on characteristics of modern Amer- ican life. Mr. Merz shows up the American people not as other na- tions see us but from the point of view of what we really are inside. Exteriorly America is a money-mad, greedy nation, desiring but to lead other nations in everything, but in- wardly many things about these ot- her nations are envied and copied by Americans. There is romance and a certain simplicity in the A- merican psychology which must have an outlet, and it is the necessity for this outlet which is responsible for much of the “foolishness” of the American people. There is a rea- son behind it all, and this reason the author delves for and finds. For instance, in “Sweet Land of Secre- cy” there is a clever summary: “Lodge night in a thousand towns and cities: Centre Hall a blaze of lights, its chandeliers festooned with paper bunting. Guards at the gate —a blowsy veil at the mystic shrine —crossed flags above the booming organwrow on row of folding chairs wax—yellow, cushionless, but uphol- stered with rich memories. "From the street outside you climb a flight of well—worn stairs to the second landing. There is a door of varnished oak, behind it stands the Lord High Seneschal. It is just an average door; but beyond lies mystery, drama, opportunity to share great names and take a hand in deeds well done, the satisfaction of ‘belonging.’ “You knock three times; pause for a heart beat; knock three times a- gain....The panel opens wide enough to disclose a lawn tie and two waist- coat buttons.....‘Advancc, stranger, and give the countersign.’ “A whispered word.....The swings slowly on it hinges. door “It will continue to swing as long as life is drab enough for grown men to play Indians.” Golf is a relic of frontier days, and embodies the spirit of explora- tion and Indian fighting. “The In- dians are dead,” says the author. “There are no more Black Feet to conquer. What is modern man to boast about if not his golf scores?” In summing up “The Great Am- crican Band Wagon,” we may say that is is very easy reading, whet- her read solely for entertainment or present methods of financing, accord» 1 ing to the result of a debate in tho‘ Graham-Lee Society last Saturday. 0 fthe remainder of the program the book reviews of several recent “best sellers” by J.

We be- lieve that a definite space in each is::sue, given over to short nov- ticcs of regular and special meetings. rehearsals, managerial and activity tryouts and the like, will fill a real need here, and it is hoped by the editors that everyone will feel free to make the ut—l most use of the space whenever they wish.

In some cases college men, not satisfied with the width furnished by their retailers, have trimmed their hat—brims down to an inch or less, thus obtaining an unusual effect. For “good” hats a curled brim, distinctly narrow, is be- coming popular. Other hats, used by college men for informal spring wear, will be worn with the crown pinched in front, and with the brims, which are unbound at the edges, turned down in front or at the side. i i)iAivEisi Ai1\I1T‘Ji(i)Il1i\ICESi.i ow P J SHOWS TO APPEAR SOON Ralph Daves, manager of the New and Lyric Theatres, announced this morning that he had just finished booking some of the leading pictures on the screen today and that he had tentatively booked several others.
