Staging a last minutes attack the Newport News warriors scor- ed sixteen points to John Mar- shall’s six, enough to give the Eastern Shore lads a 25 to 16 victory. Never have spectators witness- ed a more perfect working defen- sive‘ machine than the Newport News quin.t During the first quarter the Jutsices were able to score only two foul shots and one field goal in the second quar- ter. At the close of the third period John Marshall had drawn within striking distance of the yellow clad lads. The score was 12 to 10. But after this the Justices began to show the effect of too much strenuous work and began to falter fast. Both teams were off, missing many short shots from right un- der the basket as well as from near the center of the floor.

The game was one of the two semi—finals of the morning to determine what teams will play for the South Atlantic championship match tonight. The Washington team pulled away to an early start and at the end of the first quarter, was leading, 17 to 6. Davidson, Galot- ta and Buscher led the attack that at first looked like the ca- dets would be overwhelmed. At the end of the half, however, the score stood 27 to 16. The Vir- ginians outplayed their rivals in the last half of the game and froze the ball successfully for (Continued on page three) —.jj..; Notice.

With the ever vigilant upper- classmen ready to report any breach of conduct, it is only by ut- most care freshmen are able to keep away from paddles of the V. C. But despite their care they are often victims of circum- stances. _ This was the case Friday when a member of the class of 1932 had his hat lifted from his head by a sudden gust of wind while he walked in front of Newcomb hall. Not only was his hat lifted from his head but when it settled down once more it was on the sloping campus green far from the sidewalk. Whether to risk the horrors of the V. C. for walking on the grass or face a similar fate for going bareheaded was the choice offer- ed. Like Hamlet, he was per- turbed. The freshman ended the episode by trodding the green, amid the glares and laughs of spectators. jj__0_:__...__. Expect Call For Outdoor H Baseball Soon Twombly Getting Varsity Limbered Up Before Smith Takes Charge. With‘ the advent of warnier weather it is expected Coach R. A. Smith will call his Varsity baseball candidates within a few days for their first outdoor work of the season. It was first thought that'the diamond candi- dates would get the initial call on the first of next week but with the bad weather which prevailed the earlier part of this week the first call for candidates will be postponed a few days. The battery candidates have been working out daily in the gymnasium for the past three weeks under Assistant Coach Twombly and should be in fine shape by the time the rest of the squad is called out for outdoor work. Captain Gene White, who has been playing the infield for the past three seasons, will probably play his old position at second base‘ and do some mound duty this year as the pitching material on hand is for the most part inexperienced and scarce. White Working Out. Captain White has been working out in the gymnasium along with the other battery men and should be in fine shape as an infielder or pitcher either by the opening call. The problem of finding a catch- er to take up the position left vacant by Jones and Tips is the most important facing Coach Smith this season. Taliaferro of last year’s frosh, is on hand and should come in for a share of the backstop duty along with Fields, a reserve of last year’s Varsity nine, but it is doubtful whether either of these men have experi- ence enough to work as regular Varsity men through as hard a schedule as the Blue and White nine will play. Slanker Back. The outfield will have one mon- ogram man in Slanker, who play- ed regular during last season and has much experience. The mem- bers of last year’s frosh outfield will also help fill this gap with such men as Wright, Jacobs, andl L,7aull—;ne1'.

SOUTHERN COLLEGIANS TO PLAY FOR DANCE Cotillion Club Sponsors An- nual Program; Large Crowd Expected. The last social event of the win- ter seaspn will take place tonight when an informal dance in honor of the visiting basketball teams will be held in Doremus gymna- sium. This is expected to be one of the best informals of the sea- son as several other- attractions will take place in the gymnasium. The first feature of the evening will be the basketball game be- tween the finalists in -the South Atlantic scholastic tournament be- ing held here this week-end. The dance will follow. During the intermission the awards of the basketball tournament will be made. The all-tournament team and other interesting data. con- cerning the tournament will be made known. The Southern Collegians, Wash- ington and Lee’s famous dance orchestra, will furnish the music for the dance. A larger crowd than usual is expected. Admis- sion will be charged for all of the events at once. The Cotillion club is sponsoring the dance. o— Nineteen Men To Conference Faculty and Students To At- tend Spiritual Meeting In Lynchburg. A number of faculty members and students from Washington and Lee will attend the annual Faculty-Student conference held March 8, 9, 10, at Lynchburg col- lege, Lynchburg, Va. The purpose of the conference is to broaden and deepen the spir- itual life of students. Several ‘outstanding clergymen of the state of Virginia will be present to dis- cuss religious problems with stu- dents. The faculty members who will attend from here are: Dr. Henry Louis Smith, Dr. VV. M. Brown, Professors H. S. Funkhouser, R. N. Latture, W. W. Morten, and Mr. C. H. Patterson.

Managers Head Committees For Sixth Tourney Four Managerial Committees Handle Various Phases Of Tournament. The sixth annual interscholas- tic basketball tournament, which has been in session for the past three days here, has been directed by four committees headed by the managers of the major sports. Louis F. /Powell, as chairman of the finance and advertisement committee was in charge of the trophies, the printing and sale of tickets, the advertisement, and the care of the gymnasium dur- ing the "games. The entertainment committee, headed by A. B. Morgan, arrang- ed for the Informal Dance, the distribution of the teams to the various fraternity houses, and giving information to visitors and teams. The arrangements committee, under P. D. Beville, looked after the dressing rooms and lockers, and provided for the seating ar- rangements. The reception committee, with A. L. McCardell as chairman, met all the teams on the busses and trains, registered them, and as- signed them to their quarters. The committee on awards was composed of J. P. Lowry, Forrest Fletcher, R. A. Smith, E. P. Da- vis, Cy Twombly, and A. E. Ma- this. The head official of the tourna- ment was W. S. Gooch, Jr., H. P. Johnston, official scorer; P. R. Harrison‘ in charge of publicity, and H. G.

Eugene G. Oberst will be Washington and Lee’s next football coach. Forest Fletcher, director of physical education at the University, announced this morning =»that the former Notre Dame grid and track star had signed a two-year contract as head mentor here, and would be in complete charge of football. Mr. Fletcher stated that R. A. Smith, Ned Graham and he had been working constantly since the resignation of J. P. Herron was accepted in December to secure a thor- oughly competent mentor, and it was not until yesterday that the committee had been able to secure the services of Coach Oberst, pending the final approval of the board of trustees. Eugene Oberst is at present football andibaseball men- tor at DePauw university, Greencastle, Ind. Coach Oberst entered Notre Dame in the fall of 1919 and remained at the South Bend institution through the spring of 1924, at which time he became head coach in all sports at St. Johns college, Shreveport, La. While at Notre Dame Oberst was a stellar linesman, playing guard for the Fighting Irish in ’2O and tackle in ’22 and ’23, be- He was also a track star of note. ing out of the game in ’21. He was on the track team in ’21, ’23 and ’24. After completing his college education in ’24 he entered the Olympics in 1924 at Paris as a member of the Amer- He won third place in the javelin event, heaving the ican team. spear for a distance of 202 feet. After returning to America later in the summer he took up his duties at St. Johns college. At the close of the ’25 session Oberst resigned as head mentor at St. Johns to resume his ath- letic tutoring at Cahill High school in Philadelphia, where he remained through the spring of 1928. In the fall of 1928 he mov- ed to De Pauw university as foot- ball and baseball mentor, where he is at present. During the past football cam- paign Oberst’s eleven lost only two games, one being to the Army and the other to the high-touted Purdue aggregation. This spring he will be in charge of the dia- mond contingents, and will not reach Lexington until May 1. Oberst comes to Washington and Lee highly recommended by the great Knute Rockne, his for- mer mentor, and by several noted gridders from the middle West and East. Mr. Fletcher stated that Oberst had signed a two-year contract, and would be obtained on a full- time basis, that is he will be em- ployed the full year instead of just during the playing season and during the six weeks of spring training. Mr. Fletcher also an- nounced that Oberst would move his family to Lexington when he took over his new assignment. Oberst is 27 years old and gives his home address as Owensboro, Ky. He being a Southerner and handling chiefly Southern boys should make him a very valuable man. Oberst will introduce the Notre Dame system here, replacing a reign of the Warner system for the past six years. Jimmie De- Hart introduced the VVarner sys- tem here in 1922 when he took charge of football at W. and L., and afterhis departure in ’25 it was continued by Herron, also a former Pitt star. The Notre Dame system is nothing new in Southern Conference circles, it having been successfully used by Georgia, North Carolina, and Tech. Coach Oberst will arrive in Lex- ington May 1, the earliest date he can leave Greencastle, Ind., where he will be tutoring the base- ball candidates of De Pauw. Spring practice will be begun before his arrival and will be conducted un- der his assistant, who is to be announced later, until the head mentor arrives. It was learned that practice would last through May 18. ‘ . The exact time spring practice will begin was not known this morning, though it is believed it will start about the middle of April and would last the regular six weeks. Coach Oberst will be the first full-time football mentor employ- ed at Washington and Lee in sev- eral years. Jimmie DeHart was a full-time coach his first year here, but after that grid coaches have been employed only for the regular playing season and for six weeks of spring drilling. The committee, wishing to break this old tradition for the betterment of the ‘University, has engaged Coach Oberst for the full twelve months. Ril«eyTE—iiimmcTed T, Back By Easter History Professor On Road To Recovery; Has Been To Johns Hopkins. Dr. Franklin L. Riley, head of the department of history, is well on the road to recovery from the illness which has kept him indoors and away from his classes since the opening of school in Septem- ber. He has been to Johns Hopkins several times for radium treat- mcnts. On his last trip, which was just after the Christmas holi- days, the doctor pronounced him nearly free from the efl"ects of his sickness, but advised him to rest and diet for a good while. Dr. Riley will return to Balti- more for a final examination the latter part of this month and may be able to resume his duties soon after Easter. He is able to walk up town now and is improving rapidly. ?0__._ V. M. I. Dances Attract Seniors; Bob Ule Plays The Virginia Military Institute mid-winter dances started last night in ’94 hall. Many alumni returned for these gala afiairs. Hundreds of girls from nearby schools and cities are guests of the cadets. The music by Bob Ule and. his orchestra, of Washington, pleased several hundred couples last night. It is expected that many more dancers will be present for the closing dance tonight. Visiting Washington and Lee seniors say that these dances are the best of the season and are praising those who decorated the hall. As a return for the favor of allowing seniors to attend the dances, firstclassmen from the In- stitute are allowed in Washington and Lee dances with an invitation. This is the last social event at V. M. 1. until the Easter dances early in April. Coach THere Doctor Brown New Secretary At Convention Faculty Member Named Of- ficer Omicron Delta Kappa V At Tuscaloosa.

COLLEGE EDUCATION PAYS.‘ The college graduate earns $14,000 for each of the four years he spends in col- lege above the earnings of the high school graduate. The high school graduate earns $6,000 for each of the four years he spends in high school above the earnings of the elementary school graduate. This was made known by Dr. C. B. Glenn, superintendent of Birmingham, Alabama, city schools, before the recent meeting of the National Education Asso- ciation in Cleveland. The figures mentioned above, according to Doctor Glenn, are the result of an in- vestigation'made in 1926-27 by the Alpha Kappa Phi professional fraternity, whose membership is limited to schools of busi- ness administration. The fraternity gath- ered some 7,396 reports on occupational incomes from all types of employment and all grades of education as an investigation to learn if education paid in actual dollars and cents. The following results were shown: “The untrained man with an elementary education goes to work at the age of 14. He reaches a maximum income at 45, earn- ing on the average less than $1,700 a year. His total earnings from 14 to 60 are about $64,000. “The high school graduate goes to work at 18, four years later: passes the maxi- mum of the elementary school boy within 10 years, rises steadily to his own maxi- mum of $2,800 at 50 and falls off to about his 40-year average. His total earnings from 18 to 60 is $88,000, just $24,000 more than that earned by the elementary school boy. This indicates that each of the four years of a boy’s high school training is worth $6,000 to him. “The college graduate goes to work at 22. By the time he is 30 his income equals that of the high school graduate at 40 and continues steadily to rise. Total earnings from 22 to 60 is $144,000. The $56,000 more than the high school graduate rep- resents the cash value of a college educa- tion, making $14,000 for each year of his four years in college.” ______0____. - HEARTS AND KISSES. o The great American public loves con- tests. They adore champions. They wor- ship those who can triumph over their fel- lows. It doesn’t matter what the triumph consists of; it may be who can lean the farthest out of a window, or who can chew the biggest wad of tobacco the longest with- out spitting. It makes no difference. Just so it’s a contest, just so some one is de- clared the winner, just so people can run around shouting superlatives at one an- other, the great American public ishappy. In the past few years we have had cof- fee drinking contests, whiskey drinking contests (the latter do not get the pub- licity their frequency deserves), marathon dancing contests, beauty contests, 100 per cent healthy contests, other 100 per cent contests, including Americanism which is the patriotic diction for rotarianism, etc. Every conceivable thingthat people could compete about has been tried, and ‘now comes a contest, held in New York, to see what kind of girls increase their heart beats most when kissed! Of course we all know what kind of girls do, but we should have said, this contest Editor ‘ was between blondes and brunettes. Now we ask you- The way it happened was as follows: Two blondes and two brunettes from the cast of “Pleasure name) were induced to sit with a new type of delicately attuned stethoscope attached to them and be kissed by five blindfolded men from various walks of life. The young men were blindfolded because of the popularity of blindfolded tests. The idea is that blindfolded you know the dif- ference or don’t know the difference or something like that. One of the men was a drug clerk (imagine!) another, a civil engineer (it is not yet known how he came to be roped in), still another, a salesman (professional talent), a fourth, a dancing instructor (dear, dear), and the last was a husky building foreman (representing the men with hair on their chests). The scientists conducting the experiment discovered that the blondes won. That is, they were the hottest, or to put it scien- tificly, their hearts increased their beats the most. The winner was Elsie Lauret- son, whose heart had a total increase of 66 beats for five kisses. Her address can be secured from the publicity agent of “Pleasure Bound.” _j__ THE TOURNAMENT CLOSES. Only the final game remains to be play- ed. Tonight the' sixth annual South At- lantic basketball tournament will come to a close. The winner will be named, a new champion hailed, and preparation started for the seventh meet next year. The other day the Lynchburg News com- mented editorially: “Washington and Lee is more interested in the tournament in Lexington this week than the one in At- lanta just concluded.” The editorial went on to say that the Washington and Lee varsity, although it did not win the Atlan- ta tournament, closed a season of sixteen wins out of eighteen games played—a good record. Washington and Lee was interested in the Atlanta tourney, strongly so. But it is to the credit of the school that the stu- dents here can turn from the games in Atlanta and carry out such a successful tournament as the one in progress here. Before the present tournament passes a pause should be made to give credit to those whose work and efforts made it a success. Undoubtedly it was the biggest tournament ever held here and it was also the most successful. To Captain Dick Smith goes credit for most of the success. Without his organ- izing, his_vision, and his labors it would not have reached the height it did.‘ As the seventh tourney appears it promises to be greater than ever. If the tournament continues to increase as it has, the team that wins it will hold a greater honor than this year’s winner. The gradual growth in prominence can be laid to no other than Captain Dick. But without the support of the campus Captain Dick could never have built the tournament he has. The fraternities, which each year crowd their houses with teams, deserve a share in the success. The event could never have reached the proportion where twenty-nine teams entered the first round, if it were not for the hospitality of these organizations. * Then there are the officials, the mana- gers, the prize donors, to all of ,them a share in the success is due. Captain Dick had four committees, head- ed by the various athletic managers, who shouldered much of the burden. These men “saw to-everything,” from quartering the teams to selling tickets. Theirs were difficult tasks and they performed them well. The various students who acted as their helpers deserve praise. Those who kept the scores had a worrisome and dif- ficult part in the tournament and they car- ried out their part to perfection. To the teams that participated and lost is due much credit. Without them there could be no tournament, with them it is one of the greatest interscholastic tour- neys in the South. It is just in passing that a pause is taken to measure the tournament. The 1929 edi- tion will soon be a thing of the past, but the future—it holds possibilities that even the most optimistic may not fathom. ________0________ A needy negro was borrowing $10 for one week and on counting what was handed to him by the loan man he found he had received only $9.

Overthe =8 Coffee Cup Bound” -~ (appropriate 1 HOW MUCH of a part did American public opinion play in turning Col. Robert W. Stewart out of the Standard Oil of In- diana chairmanship? This is the question most Americans are ask- ing today. Thursday at the an- nual stockholders meeting Stew- art lost his $125,000 position by over 2,500,000 stock votes. The fight was interesting and is evi- dence that big business can not ignore public opinion. The vic- tory was also a tribute to John D. Rockefeller, Jr. 3! * I OUTSIDE of the attraction caused by the fight or rather con- test, the speech made by Col. Stewart as he retired is of para- mount interest. He said: “It would be idle for me to say I leave the Standard Oil company without regret. For years its welfare has been my deepest con- cern. Its affairs have been my very life. I have seen it grow under the present administration from a $167,000,000 corporation’ with 4,620 stockholders to practi- cally a billion dollar corporation with 56,293 stockholders.” *>l<* IT IS SOMETHING to marvel at which we learn how the cor- poration has grown, but there are many other corporations in the United States that can boast a similar record. The interesting part of the whole statement is the increase in stockholders. It is evidence that each year the average American is becoming more and more entwined in the country’s industrial life. It is this that has caused the pros- perity, long hailed by republicans as a result of their administra- tion.’ It III I‘ A STORY THAT smacks of publicity was carried yesterday by the United Press.

Five young men, a so- da clerk, an engineer, a salesman, a dancing instructor, and a husky foreman did the kissing. One of the brunettes increased her heart beats by 66 and was the clearcut winner. She managed to get in twelve extra beats on the soda clerk and fifteen on the danc- ing instructor and salesman. Sci- ence, therefore, appears to have refuted that old theory, where there is light there is heat. >l< * * WILL PRESIDENT HOOVER solve the prohibition problem? He apparently intends to make a try, something other presidents since the eighteenth amendment was passed have not. Thursday he issued a call for the seventy- first congress to come into special session April 15. Prohibition, farm relief, and limited tarifl’ re- vision will be the three main top- ics before the new group of leg- islators. E ‘THAT PRESIDENTS FEEL sorrows and heartaches the same as other people, is clearly brought out in the first article written by former President Calvin Coolidge. In it he describes his son, Calvin Coolidge, Jr., who died while he was in office. It would be im- possible after reading Coolidge’s words, even if the relation be- tween the author and the boy were unknown, to guess‘ that they were other than father and son. Only the boy’s father could have noticed the things about which Coolidge wrote. The story has a note of pathos. “In his suffering he was asking me to make him well,” the former president wrote. “But I could not.” The father felt that request more than an ordinary father because he real- ized his power as leader of a powerful nation, but in this one instance he was powerless. :.:T.: Professor and Mrs. Frank Gil- liam announce the birth of a son, February 23, in the Jackson Me- morial hospital.

Harvard Comic Paper Objects % To Large Gilt ‘Cast Ridicule Upon $11,000,- 000 Gift To Make Har- vard Like Oxford. (By New Student Service). ' Cambridge, Mass.——Lampy has done it again. Each year the his- toric Harvard comic puts forth one issue calculated to cause a stir; once it precipitated the dis- missal of a liberal professor dur- ing the post-war red hysteria; an- other time it brought down upon itself the fist of Boston police censorship; again it ‘ caused a breach in athletic relations be- tween Harvard and, Princeton. This year it turned loose an in- discriminate charge of satiric buckshot on all the Harvard edu- cational reforms of the past ten years and particularly on the new house plan, made possible by an $11,000,000 gift from Mr. Ed- ward S. Harkness, whereby Har- vard will be subdivided into col- léges somewhat resembling those at Oxford. Modeled on the communistic new masses, the March Lampoon airs what the Harvard Crimson tes- tifies are all the “grumbled pro- tests, the soured ambitions, and the hushed ‘scandals that have been rife in the dormitory ‘bull sessions’ for the past decade.” “It is a ripe hour for asking questions,” proclaims one writer. “Let two sides of the present is- sues be discussed. And let the protestants be answered, if they make themselves heard, and if they can be answered. Enough of edicts from the fog-wrapped heights! Harvard is more than a one-man plant or even a ten- man plant. It has its thousands of workers and former workers. Their cries should count for something. “In a sequence rapid and unex- pected, four measures have been foisted on the underdogs; the di- visional system, the language ex- aminations, the Tutorial scheme, and the reading period. Some of these may be all right. We think none of them are as they now function. But what concerns us at the present time is the latest andworst enactment come to join the list, the Harkness house plan. It is an amazing thing. It would break up the factory into a num- ber of branch plants. Size is dis- pleasing to system. An army is hard to control unless it is divided and subdivided from regiments down to squads. A nation is dif- ficult to oppress without fascistic district organization. And just so a force of employees require su- pervision, espionage, and the gang master to snap them up on their piece work. “A Henry Ford of education has conferred these blessings upon Harvard. What angers us is that} he has done so out of a clear sky, irretrievably, and there was no one to cry ‘hold!’ And the rea—i son there was no one is because! silence and secrecy clothed hisi approaching action.” l The “Henry Ford” mentionedl here is Harkness, who comes inl for several shafts of ridicule.l| “Now we that Harkness has shell- 3 ed over a sufficient number of berries, we have got to put on the glad rags and make him a W Pianist All C, “Encore” for p This Smoke San Francisco, California, August 8, 1928 .

Like the Lampoon it believes that many of the Har- vard reforms have been a mere multiplication of machinery. The undergraduate daily deplores “the philanthropy which, blind to the notorious inadequacy of the tu- torial staffs, professorial salaries, and even lecture room facilities, would contribute millions toward the realization of an unneeded and, to some extent, undesired residential experiment.” All three student publications have now paid their respects to the house plane: The Crimson, The Advocate, and The Lampoon. as can be determined it would The Alumni Bulletin stands be- hind President Lowell. As far seem that the older alumni and those students who are articulate are against it. The reasons ad- vanced by the dissentors range from the sublime to the trivial; , from a fear that the social em- phasis in the new houses will put an end to Harvard democracy to a. sentimental apprehension that student loyalty to the college as a whole will be displaced by loy- alty to the various houses.

Coach Forrest Fletcer’s initial call for track candidates, both freshmen and varsity, was re- sponded to by the largest and most promising number of men ‘’ in the history of the school last Thursday. With only a few mon- ogram men back this year there are a number of events in which the aspirants will face keen com- petition before the representatives are selected. Of the monogram men out Coach Fletcher has Sandifer in’ ; the dashes, Captain Backus and Simmons in the half-mile, Brock in the two-mile, as a nucleus for his representatives in the track events. In the field events Jan- ney in the javelin, Painter in the discus, Sandifer in the high and broad jump are left over from the letter winners of last year. Williams May Feel Injury. To fill in the remaining events rfor which there are no monogram men back this year, the Washing- ton and Lee mentor is counting '“ heavily on last year’s scrubs and frosh. From the yearlings of last year Dickey, Sheppard, and Wil- liams are the outstanding men , in the quarter mile. The latter is one of the best men at the jquarter competing in collegiate circles today, but the foot injury sustained in football last fall may 4 curtain his activities. As yet, it is uncertain to what extent. Francis Parker, a scrub, and Collette, a sophomore, are back for the mile this spring. Hicken, a transfer of last year, and Phelps, coming up from the year- ling squad, are very promising at this distance. Five For Two Mile. .' For the two-mile, in addition to Brock, are two cross-country monogram winners out for the ‘ first time, Johnson and Suter. To this trio is added Wahler from the frosh of last’ spring and Rhett, ~a scrub of last season. Two promising sophomores will oseek to aid Sandifer in the high jump with Herms and Speer from the frosh out for the team. In the pole vault Pilley from the scrubs with Maxey and Sanders of the frosh are competing with Pomeroy. Sandifer is the only letter man in the broad jump, but Leigh Williams and E. Parker from the frosh are eligible for competition this year. Fitz Throws Shot. Ex-football Captain Fitzpatrick is heaving the shot for the first time with Walker and Faulk- ner from the freshmen squad. 3Faulkner, with Eberhart and Mar- tin, comprise the men who will _hurl the discus that did not win —a monogram last year. Two scrubs and a monogram winner, Janney, will throw the javelin. Of the freshmen out‘this spring little is known, but Broderick, in the half-mile, Price in the dashes, Coll in the mile, with Finklestein and Bennan in the hurdles are candidates who Coach Fletcher believes will bear watching. Also "Hartgrove in the pole vault, Ste- vens, Mitchell, and Nichols in the _ weights appear especially prom-' ising. Practice will continue daily for -both the freshmen and the Var- ~‘sity track team meeting Mary- land here in its first meet of the year on April 1. What potential power the “Old Liners” possess is not known, but Coach Fletcher will be prepared for the best the College Park men may offer. __..M?i0M. Dr. William M.

Satterfield of Oak Ridge was twice chosen for the All-State high school basketball team while playing with Fairmont, W. Va., East Side High school. When the latter team journeyed out to the national basketball tourna- ment at Chicago in 1926 the lit- tle forward received honorable mention on the All-American scho- lastic squad. Hall, star Princeton, W. Va., forward, was named on the all- state West Virginia scholastic team last year along with Sat- .terfield and was mentioned as one of the best dribblers ever to ap- pear at the state tourney. Opponents of John Marshall High of Richmond can rightly claim the hard luck title among in this tournament. Each of the Justices’ early ad- versaries have led the Richmond quint until the last two minutes of play only to lose end. I Phillips, Hagerstown forward, had an unerring' eye for free throws against Waynesboro when he dropped in eight points from the charity line besides sinking six field goals. To Fork Union goes the honor of having the “loudest” uniforms in the tournament. Their suits surely spoke for themselves. Fishburne Military academy did not have time hardly be- come acclimated to the tourna- ment before they were eliminat- ed. “Babe” Spotts’ proteges were unable to withstand the ver- satile offense of Virginia Episco- pal High and lost 41-16 in the opening round. John Marshall’s loudest and most able supporters were three members of the feminine sex. One of the trio was heard to remark that she “would kiss every mem- ber of the John Marshall team” for their victory over Central High school of Washington in an overtime period. Cross, forward on the Central High basketball team of Wash- ington, is a brother of Everett Cross, guard on the Washington and Lee freshman team of the season just passed. I Wheeler, diminutive forward and scoring ace of the Newport News High school basketball team, is about the nearest counterpart to “greased lightning” that has ever struck the General court. College Stiiliclen-ts Coming To Front In Tennis Ranks “I believe that in the future practically all of the ranking tennis players on this side of the water will be college men,” says William ‘E. Hinchlifl’, coach of tennis and squash racquets at Yale, in the April College Humor. - “At Yale it is estimated that two- thirds of the_ students play tennis. The number of courts could be doubled again and there would still be too few. The prepara- tory schools of the country are filled with brilliant young play- ers. It takes no stretch of the imagination to see them playing tennis and continuing their inter- est in the game when they ma- triculate at the higher institu- tions of learning. “Speaking of _tennis in a gen- eral way, I would like to point out the fact that the dope is up- set in tennis probably less than in any other sport. When both players are in trim and fighting for all they are worth, you will have a hard time finding a sport that brings such consistent victo- ries to the admittedly better player. It is a sport where one can work with one’s game at practice and feel confident that the breaks of the game will have little or no effect on the out- come of contests.” . _______0____ PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The win puts the Shipbuild- ers in the semi-finals tomorrow morning against John Marshall High, Richmond, at 11 o’clock. The winners took the lead at the start, and were never headed. The first quarter saw the count 9-2, and at half time Newport News led 13 to 5. The third pe- riod ended 20-14. Stonebaker, guard, was high point man for the Marylanders, adding eight to his team’s total, while Captain Wheeler of the winners led the pack with 13. Jno.

Many shots that went through the bas- ket for John Marshall were dis- allowed on account of “traveling” just before the goal was shot. It was a close game and the re- sult was uncertain until the final whistle. Captain Baker of the Justices played a good game and was ably seconded by the smooth work of the other team mem- bers. The Massanutten cadets started ofl’ slow but in the second half played an improved brand of ball and came close to winning in the last few minutes. S. M. A. Wins Again. Staunton Military academy eliminated South Boston High in a listless and rather poorly play- ed game Friday morning.

Emerson institute, Washington, battled its way to the tri-finals in the Washington and Lee South Atlantic scholastic tournament here Friday, downing Virginia Episcopal school in the day's opening battle, 40 to 31. The capital city basketers ran away with honors in the first half, leading 22 to 7. Episcopal rallied in the second canto, however, pulling up to within eight points of the winners and temporarily stopping _the steady passing upon which Emerson depended. Buscher, forward, led the scor- ing with 17 ,points, but the indi- vidual honors from the specta- tors’ standpoint went to Barber and Peacock, Episcopal forwards, - ‘whose floor work and eleven and thirteen points alone kept their team within striking distance of victory. / Damascus Defeats Lexington.

Led by the diminutive forward, Phillips, who tallied six field goals and eight foul shots for a total of twenty points, the Hagerstown team had little difficulty in main- taining a safe margin. Both teams started cautiously, with the Marylanders drawing first blood on a tally by Phillips. The half ended with Hagerstown in front, 13 to 6. An avalanche of scoring by the Hagerstown five in the third quarter put the game on ice. During this period, Phil- lips shot seven consecutive foul shots. The Hagerstown defense held the Virginians to a lone field goal in the second half. M. M. A. Wins By Lone Point. Lee High school of Staunton pushed Massanutten Military acad- emy to the limit before the for- mer finally lost, 37 to 36.

H. Pue- licher, chairman of the board of trustees. The foundation, estab- lished in commemoration of the association’s fiftieth anniversary, grants loan scholarships large number of colleges to men pursuing ina students courses in banking and allied econ- omic subjects. “It was only with the opening of the 1928 fall term that these‘ scholarships became available, and considerable time was nec- essarily required in establishing committees on awards in each in- stitution, making the plan known to the student bodies and in qual- ifying applicants, but already nearly a third of the available loans have been given out, a number of other applicants are under consideration -and many" additional institutions have indi- cated that they will be in a po- sition to put the association’s ed- ucational plan into effect this fall,f’ said Mr. Puelicher, who is president of the Marshall and Isley Bank, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “A goodly company of young college men and women, there- fore, is now pursuing studies per- taining to practical banking ac- tivities under the plan for foster- ing sounder banking through edu- cational preparation. This com- pany will ‘swell in numbers each year and will constitute a real contribution and an active influ- ence in American life toward rais- ing the nation’s business and financial standards to higher lev- els _ of technical proficiency and public service.

The cash benefits this year have been increased from an aggregate of $17,500 given" the preceding years, to $35,000. “It seems to me,” said A.

For that reason we have add- ed $7,500 in cash prizes and two years in tuition to the former awards. We have received innu- _merable assurances from all sec- tions of the country that the ra- dio audition is worthwhile, and I am, therefore, delighted to take advantage of the opportunity to hold another one this year.” The awards this year will be as follows: Winners of first place (one boy and one girl), $5,000 each and two years’ tui- tion in an American conserva- tory. Winners of second place, $3,000 each and one year’s tui- tion. Winners of third place, $2,- 000 each and one year’s tuition. Winners of fourth place, $1,500 each and one year’s tuition. During the summer and early fall local contests will be held in the cities and towns of every state, open to amateur singers from 18 to 25. State auditions will follow and will be broadcast {from a central point in each state. Two winners, one boy and one girl, will be selected to represent each state in district contests, of which there will be five, held at central points in the East, Middle West, Southeast, Southwest, and Far West. The ten finalists (one boy and one girl from each dis- trict) will be put on the air over a coast to coast networkin De- lcember, for final rating by a board of musicians of national stand- ing. All expenses ‘of contestants to the district and final auditions will be paid by the foundation. Signifi- . Prohibition- Aids Schools Says Savant Enrollment In College Tre- bled Between Years 19-15- 1925 Report States Public school and college statis- tics, as revealed by federal gov- ernment figures, show that the educational systems of the United States have been benefited by pro- hibition, and they show, also, that the increasing number of persons in theschools and colleges afford additional opportunities for the spread of the truth about prohi- bition, contends Dr. ‘Ernest H. Cherrington, general secretary of the World League Against Alco- holism. “School statistics show,” says Dr. Cherrington’s statement, “that in the college year, 1915-16, a wet year, there were enrolled in the colleges and universities of the United States 164,075 men stu- dents and 95,436 women students, a total of 259,511. In the dry college year of 1925-26 there were enrolled 509,732 men and 313,163 women, a total of 822,895, a treb- ling in a decade. “‘A stronger showing is made by setting down the total enroll- ment of 1912-16, as compared with 1919-26, excluding the war period when many young men and women were abroad. In the wet period the total enrollment was 894,373. In the dry period the total enroll- ment was 2,173,675, or nearly three times as great, while the population of the country in the same period increased less than 25 per cent. The heavily increas- ed enrollment brought with it a consequent increase in college of- ficials, professors, tutors and em- ployes. “In the wet year of 1916, there were employed‘ in the public schools 622,371 teachers; in 1926, dry, the number of teachers was 814,169. In 1916 there was ex- pended for all costs of public schools the sum of $640,717,063. In 1926 the amount of money thus expended was $2,016,813,685, or three times as much as in 1916. “A very large per cent of the teachers and officers of American colleges and universities are men and women who are not only ab- stainers, teaching the youngimen and women through precept and example, but are also heartily in favor of prohibition and its en- forcement. Especially is this true of colleges and universities main- tained and controlled by Christian churches. The young men and women in American colleges can hardly emerge therefrom without having become rooted and ground- ed in this great subject.” J. W. Zimmerman Lexington, Va.

WILLIAMS, Proprietor ‘ , AMONG THE BOOKS V The Chequered Career of Fer- dinand Rudolph Hassler, by Flo- rian Cajori, Ph. D., Christopher Publishing House (Boston) 1929, $2.00. ' Hassler was the organizer of the first great scientific bureau of the federal government in Washington. He was the first chief of the U. S. Geodetic and Coast Survey, and had high ideals of accuracy and honesty. His was a sad, but'heroic life, not embit- tered by disappointments—a curi-~ ous personality imbued with spirituality. This biography is in accord- ance with the current plan to hu- manize science through the study of its history. Much interesting material hitherto unpublished is here brought to light for the first time. ~Hassler stands with the three Swiss immigrants who have contributed to our scientific and political life: Agassiz, Guyot, and Gallatin. I The author has treated his sub- ject in a charming manner; the science of geodesy is highly tech- nical and not intelligible to a large circle of readers. This book is poorly illustrated, but has a good index (of names). Dr. Cajori, himself a native of Switzerland, is professor of the history of mathematics in the University of California, and has long been well known for work?
