I. P. A. convention here May 11 and 12, it was announced today, by R. B. Ellard, director of the Lee School of Journalism. Two classes only have been al- lowed the last two years. Addition- al classification is made, Mr. Ellard explained, to more equalize contes- tants. Class A will include all high schools with an enrollment over 1,- 000; Class B. all high schools under 1000, and over 500; Class C, all high schools under 500. Nine silver loving cups instead of six will consequently be awarded. These will be donated by the South- ern Newspaper Publishers’ Associa- tion, individual Southern newspapers, the White Studio of New York, the Publication Board of Washrington and Lee, and the Department of Journalism. Three sets of books will be given as prizes in the individual merit contest_ A little more than 315,000 words of University publicity have been sent out so far on the convention; about this much more will be sent out before the convention is over, convention officials said. A two col- ored broadside, 36x40 inches in size will be sent to 1,000 high schools with the request that it be displayed on their bulletin boards. This broad- side carries cainpus scenes of Wash- ington and Lee, textual descriptions of Washington and Lee history, and incidentally an announcement of the S. I. P. A. convention and journalism contest. Ninety-six delegates from ten Southern states attended the con- vention last year; seventy attended the first year that the convention was held. Plans are being made for more than one hundred representa- tives this spring. A feature banquet Saturday night will close the con- vention, and a surprise is promised for this banquet. _M0_j_. Greek Quints Begin Tournament Play The annual Inter-Frat basketball tournament will be held onday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week, Plans for the tourney and the schedule have been definitely completed by the Inter—Fraternity Council. Members of the varsity team will serve as officials. The first round of play will be held Monday as follows: 3 P. M.,] Beta Theta Pi vs. Delta Tau Delta;‘ 4 P. M., S. A. E. vs. Sigma Chi; 5 P. M., Kappa Sigma vs. A_ X. P.; 7 P M., Phi Kappa Sigma vs. Phi Epsilon Pi; 8 P. M., Lambda Chi Alpha vs. Sigma Nu; 9 P. M., Pi Kappa Alpha vs. S. P. E. The winners of the first round will meet in the sem-finals on Tuesday, and the final round will take place Wednesday night, Schedules of the play are posted in The Corner and the Gymnasium. Kappa Sigma won the cup in 1927. MOM President Smith Returns From Speaking Tour President Henry Louis Smith re- turned to Lexington yesterday from Staunton, Virginia. While, in Staun- ton Dr. Smith addressed the Augusta Military Academy at mid-day, March 8 on “Four Steps Toward Victory on Life’s Battlefield.” The same day Dr. Smith spoke at the Davidson College Alumni banquet on “The Biggest Deficit in American Educa- tion.” This address was also made in Staunton. Dr. Smith will leave Lexington, April 25, for Wake Forest, N. C., where he will represent Washington and Lee at the inauguration of Presi- dent Gaines, of Wake Forest College. and will be ready for heavy practice in about a week. The pitching staff is regularly go- ing through limbering up exercises, but the weather is still too cold on Wilson field to permit them to let out. From the outlook of things at the beginning, Captain Folliard and Osterman will carry the hurling burden through the season. Folli- ard has been the General’s ace for the last two years while Osterman saw service off and on during the 1927 season. There are several un- tried prospects for pitching duty, however, who are likely to break into the varsity lineup when they‘ get a chance to show their wares. The varsity will make the 1928 de- but on Wilson field March 30 when they take on the Catholic University nine, and Coach Smith is making ev- ery eifort to get his men into con- dition by that time. The varsity schedule has been announced as fol- lows: March30—Catholic University Here April 2—Cornell, Here. April 4—Duke, There. April 5——Duke, There. April 6—N. C.

This will be the thirty- first issue of the Washington and Lee annual. Work on the anual is rapidly com- ing to a close, with over half of the material already in the hands of the printer, Editor Davis stated that he hoped to have the rest of the book ready for the publisher in a very short time. The staff for the a.nual is: W. M. Garrison, Assistant editor; G. F. At- wood, Associate editor; L. F. Powell, University editor; C. C. Hutchinson, Fraternity editor; M. M. Heuser and T. J. Sugrue, Humorous editors; T. B, Thames, Society editor; W. A. Plummer, Assistant society editor; J. B. Ecker, Art editor, Graham Morison, Assistant art editor; I. H, Elias, Photographic editor; Henry P. Johnston, Assistant photographic editor; J. W. Davis, Assistant Uni- versity editor; Kenneth Bank, edi- torial assistant; J. A. Williamson and J. L. Rimler, freshment assis- tants; and C. A. Strahorn, senior assistant. :__._0__j Tryouts For Smith Debate Tuesday Try-outs for the Alabama debate will be held Tuesday night, 7:30 o’- clock, in Tucker Hall, it was announ- ced yesterday. The try-outs will consist of a five minute defense of the negative side. The question to be debated will be, Resolved, “that Alfred E. Smith be elected Presi- dent of the United States.” The de- bate with the visiting Alabama team will take place here on the evening of March 29. Professor Bauer stated that ar- rangements have been made for a debate with the Columbia Univer- sity team. This debate, to be held here April 11, will be probably ar- gued over the same subject as the Alabama meet. Here. CONVENTION lN GYM ON APRIL 24 Whole Day To Re Holiday As Student Body Selects Its Choice For President of the United States The 1928 democratic nominee for president will be chosen in Doremus gymnasium April 24. That is——if past history is any indication of future events. Four tions have been held here and three times out of four the student body nominated the candidate who was later chosen at the national conven- tion. An official university holiday has been declared on April 24, and all arrangements to turn Lexington into a second Houston have been aproved by the faculty. Delegations will be formed and led by students, who will outline party principles, make ‘genuine stump speeches, and carefully lay the planks in the party platform, and smoke big black cigars. Arguments will be heated, and “dyed—in—the- wool” party advocates even admit the possibility of inkwell battles, in emulation of former congressional procedure. The entire convention wil be a pa- rody on the national meeting, and the development carried out to the most minute detail. Students at Washington and Lee originated the idea of the mock con- vention back in 1908 when a dem- ocratic convention was held during April, and William Jennings Bryan chosen to represent the party. Four years later, in 1912, the as- semblage of delegations met in the, Lee Chapel, and debated till after midnight on nomination day, over a deadlock between Wilson and Clark. The tie had to be broken as the fa- culty refused to grant the students a second day to complete the con- vention, and it ended in a stampede for Governor Harmon, of Ohio—the mock conven- ‘ only occasion when the students ‘failed to pick the candidate who was ‘later nominated by the national ‘body. In 1916 a Republican convention was held as Wilson was practically ‘unopposed for the democratic nom- ‘Iination. Charles Evans Hughes was ;chosen to represent the “men be- lhind the elephant,” and Senator ,Miles Poindexter, an alumnus of Wtlashingtoii and Lee, was chosen ‘for vice-president as his runing ;,mate. i No convention was held in 1920. However, the meeting held in 1924 ‘was an actual forecast of the Madi- json Square Garden fracus that was ,held in July of the same year, down ‘to the minutest feature, A heated deadlock formed between McAdoo ‘and Al Smith, and the supporters }of both candidates refused to give ‘ground. Finally the McAdoo advo- ‘cates bolted from the convention hall jconfered, and returned in the wee small hours of the morning to throw “their support to John W. Davis, a ;;‘raduate of Washington and Lee ‘ university. Pandemonium broke loose, and Davis was declared the ‘official candidate. Three months 7later the national body of Demo- ‘crats followed the Washington and Lee student lead, and chose Davis to represent them at the national polls. All arrangements for the conven- gtion are being made by the Execu- ,tive Comniitte of the student body. :Edward H. Miller, president, is in }Washington, D. C., at the present ‘time, where he will get information and facts concerning the national meeting to be held in Houston, Tex- as. Stitt Wilgon Will Address Student Assembly Monday Stitt Wilson, nationally known le- cturer, will be the chief speaker at the University March 12. He is coming here un- der the auspices of the Y. M. C_ A. Mr. in present day college life, and will discuss many important questions regarding the relations of science and religion. assembly Monday, Wilson will talk about religion Some of the real intellectual prob- lems confronting students will be dealt with by Mr. Wilson. He will dis- cuss evolution, materialism, socialism and the impossibility of the exis- tence of a personal god in a world ruled by scientific law. In the last point will lie the main theme of his talk. — Stitt Wilson’s career as a man has covered a wide range. He has led a varied life, being born in Canada, becoming a Methodist minister, and later entering the fields of social sciencs. He has alsa taken an active part in the British labor movement and California politics, being a for- mer Mayor of Berkeley, California. Mr. Wilson has been on the lecture platform for seven years, interpret- ing the religious and philosophical problems of life. Bill Ward Joins Hole-In-One Club By Perfect Drive The rolling greenward—knickers— an uplifted golf club—a downward sweep—a dull thud as the head of ‘the driver came in contact with the ball—-and—a hole in one! And Bill Ward made it! Last Wednesday afternoon Ward, Spotts and George Lanier were play- ing upon the green. For three holes the usual type of game was played. At the fourth hole, however, Ward advanced to tee off. Spectators fail to say he was smoking a Murad, or looking particularly confident, but his drive was perfect and the sphere soared into the air, dropped, and rol- led across the grass directly into the hole, 175 yeards form the tee. According to authorities, this is the first hole in one ever to be made on the local course. As a reward for his achievement Bill Ward is qualified as a member of the “Hole-in-One—Club,” compos- ed of all golfers who make the much envied drive. Members of this club are entitled to various items of golf equipment free of charge. Thus has one student at Washing- ton and Lee achieved the first of the three pinnacles of collegiate ambi- tion. To make a hole in one, to hold 13 spades in a bridge hand, and to have a movie star up for the dances. Blue and White Believed to Have Set New S. The Little Generals have establish- ed a new record for a Southern Con- ference freshman basketball team, it is believed. This season they scored 545 points to their opponents 217 in eleven games. And the Blue and White did not lose a game. For three seasons the yearlings have lost but one game—that to Duke last year. Coach Davis’ crew is the only team under the reign of the Southern Con- ference that went through the season undefeated—so far as can be learn- ed. Auburn’s varsity is the next most outstanding team in the Con- C. Freshman Record ference, winning every game except two——these were both lost to the University of Mississippi by single point margins. The record of 545 points scored by the frosh team averaged a frac- tion less than 50 points per game—— the same as Auburn before entering the S. C. tournament in Atlantic, and the Plainsmen led the whole country in scoring this year_ While the Davismen were averaging 50 points per game they were holding their opponents to 19. The frosh record was not made (Continued on Page 4) H erron Pleased By Workouts In Spring Football The close of the first week of spring football finds the squad rapid- ly rounding into fine shape. Coach “Pat” Herron is more than pleased with the Generals’ spring workouts this year than any time during his three seasons here. There is prac- tically a full of 1927 monogram men, last fall’s yearlings and the reserves eligible for another season. attendance 7 Coach Herron said that for the first time since coming here the fun- damental work of spring has not been handicapped by absence of men playing baseball, Gene ‘White being the only varsity man who is also a candidate for the baseball squad. Few changes will be necessary next September when fall practice starts. Line drills, blocking and tackling, and a sharp scrimage last Thursday have gotten the club off to a fast start. The practices will become intense within the next two weeks and will continue for four more weeks. his will give the coaching staff opportunity to realign the can- didates to fill vacancies left by the graduation of Captain Tips, Spotts, Howe, Stearns, Eiglebach, Fisher and Seligman. As yet, there are no definite line- ups being used and the wealth of material makes the picking of out- standing men exceedingly difficult for the coaches. Captain Fitzpat- rick seems to be the only one as- sured of his position. Coach Herron is being ably as- sisted by “Mike” Palmer and Coach _E. P. Davis who will continue until he calls for his frosh baseball can- didates. 0 Track Candidates Begin To Workout For Spring Meets 75 men are reporting daily on Wilson field for the preliminary workouts in track_ This exceptional- ly large number includes both Frosh and Varsity candidates, and Coach Forest Fletcher states that the first cut of the squad will be made in a short while. Various kinds of calis- thenics and limbering up exercises along with work on the starts and form are part of the daily grind, which increases in rigor each day as the squad gets in condition. The outlook for a successful Var- sity season is very bright, despite the fact that no monogram men re- turned in the dashes and Weight events. Captain Reardon alone, al- most, affords a nucleus about which a formidable team may be molded, as he is a luminary in the broad jump, the javelin throw and the hur- dles. Sandifer, Barclay, and Grashorn are showing up well in the 100 and 220 along with several other promis- ing candidates. Simmons, letter man last year, and Amole look good in the 440, while Backus, Brock, and Platt appear outstanding at this early moment in the 880. Sutton, Graves, and Brock are prominent among the milers, and Nance, along with Butler and John- son, will form an excellent team in the two mile. Captain Reardon and Sproul look like they are in splendid form for the high hurdles. Patterson, Dor- mon, and Jones will probably be out- standing in the low hurdle combin- ation. The high jump will be taken care of by the trio of Sproul, Sandifer, and McFarland, and Reardon, Banks, and Eberhart look good in the broad jump. Pomeroy, Pilley, and Cocke are the pole vault candidates. By far the largest number of can- didates are in the weight events. Here the field is open, as no letter men return in the field divisions. Outstanding men in the shot put, discus, and javelin are: Reardon, Ja- cobs, Merritt, Groop, Fisher, Painter, Martin, Janney and Stearns. Litle is known of the strength of the freshmen squad aside from those who participated in the Richmond meet, but the general outlook is OF PN EUMONIA W. & L.

John Chrisman Brock, senior in the chool of Commerce, died about 7 o’clock this morning in Jackson Memorial Hospital following a ten- day illness from pneumonia, aggravat ed by complications and a constitu- tion unable to withstand the ravages of the malady. Brock entered the hospital March 2, after having been suffering with a cold for several days. Grippe and pneumonia soon developed, but, al- though he was considered desperate- ly ill several times during the past week, indications yesterday after- noon were that he had rallied and would eventually recover. He took a turn for the worse late last night, however, being unable to breathe satisfactorily, and until his death this morning was steadily sinking. Born May 9, 1906, deceased was in his tweiity—second year. He was the son of O. B. Brock, a wholesale jobbei: of Harrisonburg, and had lived his entire life in the valley city, He was graduated in June 1924 from Harrisonburg high school, and enter- ed Washington and Lee in September of that year.

All the men out for the dashes and the half-mile re- port at three—thirty and the others at four-thirty. Those out for the shot put, discuss throw, and javelin throw report to Fisher, Painter, and Coleman at four. Coach Fletcher hopes to develop a championship Freshman relay team and if the quartet shows up well in all the meets the men will be sent to Atlanta for the South Atlantic Games and later to the Penn Relays at Philadelphia. The first meet for the Freshmen will be on Saturday, March 31, when they go to Staunton to meet the cin- dermen from Staunton Military Aca- demy. _____0_._: Olympic Mat Tryouts In Action at V. M. I.

Ozlin, of the lower house of the Vir- ginia General Assembly, is to be congratulated on the prompt and effective manner in which he handled the attempted circularization among the legislators of the vindictive booklet aimed at Abraham Lincoln Wednesday. Mr. Ozlin not only deni- ed copies of the pamphlet further circulation after it came to his knowledge, but decreed very properly that the pages should gather all possible copies and destroy them to prevent any furth- er distribution. Not only was the booklet itself a blemish upon the intelligence of the people of Virginia, but the manner in which it was thrust upon the legislators was enough to brand its sponsors as of the type which Virginians and Southerners in general do not count- enance today. The booklet was ostensibly an attempt upon the part of some people to influence the legislature to rescind its action of last month in adjourning February 12 in honor of Lincoln’s birth- day. , Entitled “Nil de Mortuis Nisi Veritas”, the booklet stated that “Confederate leaders and other citizens request the house of delegates to repeal the resolution of respect to Abraham Lincoln, the barbarian, who hung in cold blood three great South- erners. ” The tone of the entire work showed it to be not a dignified petition or request to the house for reconsideration of one of its decisions, but merely a vituperation aimed at Lincoln personally. The “request to repeal” was merely the excuse upon which the pamphlet was prepared. and even a cursory perusal of it would have proved what its real object was, according to reports. Far from “dishonoring General Lee and his followers”, the ac- tion of the house in adjourning in honor of Lincoln's birthday was an act of respect, carefully considered, done by Virginians and Americans who have the broad cosmopolitian outlook upon life. It was evidence, concretely expressed to the nation at large, that Virginians and Southerners of today elect to their legislatur- es men loyal to the United States, and willing to let the wounds of a previous generation remain healed, at the same time rec- ognizing the great leaders of the 1865 “enemy” as fellow- ancestors of the present-day nation. 0 v MILITARISTIC EDUCATION BSOLUTE Pacifism is an ideal state, but observation will prove that it must come through an evolutionary education rather than an abrupt registration on the side of peace. The agitation against the large increase in our navy was a good thing although we doubt seriously whether the nation ever anticipated such an extensive program, but when the pacifist comes to the point of taking away the right of protection and interfering with harmless institutions, then we cease to be sympathetic. Last week a committee of eleven honored citizens of Virginia, including such esteemed persons as Dr. Meta Glass, president of of manhood in that institution into peaceful citizens of the future militarytraining.—Duke University Chronicle.

His spirit lives at Washington and Lee, however. in a freshman who was seen carrying a huge flashlight to the scene of the recent barber shop fire on Nel- son street. Whether or not he believed he could detect the fire without the aid of the “sun’s only rival” is not known, but he claims his ori- ginal purpose was to enter the burning building where he thought perhaps it might be dark. Perhaps he is a recruit for the Washington and Lee Rover boys, or mayhap just another carrier of coals to New Castle, but the facts remain. _A.0__.:_ SUMMER TOURISTS START T0 THRONG LEE CHAPEL The usual spring and summer crowd of visitors at the chapel is now beginning to appear. There were 77 visitors last Saturday, the largest number since Fancy Dress. The record number of visitors for one month is 12,200 for August, 1927. About thirty thousand people from nearly every country in the world visited the chapel during June, July and August of last year. -r.....i;.;i.i;...ii Show April 10 at New The Troubadour show “The Butter and Egg Man” will be shown at the New Theatre on April 10, President T.

Included in these is the cover from the “Opening Number”, drawn by Dudley Carr. The cover of the “Fancy Dress” Mink was reprinted on the front of the last issue of the Denison “Flam- ingo” along with those of other prominent college humorous publica- tions. Several cuts and jokes from the Mink will appear in the next number of the North Carolina Buc- caneer. Every issue of College Humor this year has had many Mink contribu- tions. 0 FACULTY ORDERS HOLIDAY FOR MOCK CONVENTION In response to a petition of the Executive Committee of the Student Body, the Faculty has set aside Tuesday, April 24, as a University holiday. On that day the mock Democratic convention is to be held. This follows a custom that has been received favorably in the past by students, the administration and the general public. . ..n.__‘ IGIRL visrroizs COME AND Go A great furor was created Thurs- day night when those students who lcft the first show perceived twenty girls go ambling towards the post- office. Their momentary ardor, how- ever, was cooled when the girls con- tinued their walk, as if prearranged, and ended in a certain fraternity house. In a short time, there was a dance in full swing, and sounds of merriment drifted over that sec- tion of Lexington. Meanwhile, ru- mors quickly spread throughout the campus, and many were the conjec- tures concerning the sudden appear- ance, and as sudden disappearance, of the girls. But it was not until next morning when the secret leak- ed out. The young ladies were nought but members of the Junior Class of Sullins College on their way to Washington. Having arriv- ed unnoticed at the Robert E. Lee Hotel hursday night, they seemed in danger of spending their short vis- it here unknown to the students. Soon, however, the information fur- tively reached the ears of some W. and L. man, and in short time, he and nineteen fraternity brothers, ar- rived on the scene. The dreams of certain students concerning twenty beautiful additions to Lexington tur- ned out to be transient ones. ———0 F lournoy To Speak At F armville School Professor Fitzgerald Flournoy, of the English department, will de- liver an address tonight at the Founders Day exercises at the State Teacher’s College in Farmville, Vir- ginia. The subject of his speech will be “The Part of Educated Wo- man in Rebuilding the Culture of the South.” Professor Flournoy left for Farmville this morning. Among the main points to be dis- cussed in the address are how the South has developed to its crucial point in history and how a material civilization is being reconstructed. ‘Mr. Flournoy will discuss the ques- ‘tion as to what spiritual and edu- ‘cational lines the South will follow: and whether these pursuits will be superficial 01' of profound culture. Then the main substance will be brought out in dealing with the part women will play in this reaction. Sweet Briar College and sister of Honorable Carter Glass, and Dr. Charles J.

P. I. frosh teams; and Devitt prep of V’Vashington, D. C. Eddie Parks Davis was coach of the team. He took a squad of play- ers, who at the outset of the season seemed only mediocre, and developed a team which was considered to be the outstanding team of the South in freshman circles. This is Coach Davis’ second year at the helm of the freshmen quintet, A coach of one of the Visiting 4611111 at the South Atlantic Inter- scholastic basketball tournament last week remarked, “I consider the Washington and Lee Basketball team the greatest in the state, including the varsity of all colleges, and the greatest freshman combination that I have ever seen anywhere.” This coach speaks with authority since his team faced the Little Generals this year and he himself was once a basketball player. Coach Davis’ team was not a one outfit man, won even a five man team but a constellation with five ex- tra luininaries ready for action in the nearby firm-anent. Leigh Williams was captain of the team and held down the middle posi- tion most of the year. As his under- study he had Cox, also a stellar for- ward. Statioiied at forward there were: Jacobs, Cox, Hana and Free- man; and at guards, Pilley, Faulkn- er, Scott and Thibodeau. The summary of games: l<'resliman 36, A. M. A. 10 Freshman 55, A. M.

Richmond, Va., U. S. A. Gentlemen: Most all well-known tobaccos smoke well in a cold _or temperate climate, but very few in a tropical climate. They are mostlytoo heavy, don't seem to be blended _r1ght—at least that is my‘ opinion gained from practical ex- perience. However, Edgeworth is the same in any climate. Again that is my opinion gained by practical experience. I cannot get the same pleasure out of any brand of tobacco that I can out of Edgeworth, and I have tried many —and paid fancy prices, too. It costs real money to smoke imported tobaccos here; the import duty is very high. Anyway, we cannot have everything we would like in these countries, so we hold on to all the little pleasures possi- ble. Now you know why I smoke Edgeworth.
