The Phi Delta Theta team won thei1' right to the final gamoby defeating‘ the l‘hi Kappa Psis in last night’s semi—final game in one of the most interesting games of the t(>ui.'n:3.inent by tlli‘ score of 25 to The game was a fast affair with both teams showing streaks of good basket- ball playing and not being‘.de— cided until the final whistle. The opening quarter of the game saw the Phi Psi quint get under way in the early stages and take a good lead which they held up into the last quarter. lVith the third period ending 18 to 9 in favor of the Phi Psis the winners staged a final quarter rally and aided by the work of McCardell and Clay they overcame the lead and the final whistle saw them leading by a bare two points. Clay and McCardell led the at- tack of the Phi Delts on the of- fensive as well as being high point men. Annin and Ed.

This game was also a fast affair with signs of some basketball talent but the score was not as close as the former contest. The Beta outfit took an early lead and were never headed. Lowden and Fangboner showed good form and led the attack for the winners both of- fensively and on the defense. Stone and Dormon were the shin- ing lights for the Pi K.

This concerns what a California bear did to “Stumpy.” The bear in question was given “Stumpy” as a mascot on the Pa- cific coast, and has been an apt pupil in learning tricks. “Stumpy” and the bear gave a show at the fraternity house this afternoon, and the cub in expan- sive mood added tricks not on the program, mainly climbed “Stum- py” who broke for the stairs and was tackled in approved foot- ball fashion. “Stumpy” plunged down the stairs, the bear tumbling after.

Then add the cost of the safety razor blades, one a week, at ten cents each, which is more than three hundred dol- lars. Staggering Amounts.

Not only Coach Alexander of Georgia Tech, Babe Ruth, the king of swat, and Gene Tunney, the world heavyweight champion, but hundreds of other well known athletes, coaches and college ath- letic the United States advise young men to at- directors over tend the citizens’ military train- ing camps. I Coach Alexander of Georgia ‘Tech, Atlanta, Georgia, had this to say: “I consider these camps one of the very finest things that the government has ever done for the youth of this country. I have had a number of boys report for football practice just after finishing a summer in one of your camps and have noticed that they are always in splendid physical condition. I always urge my players to attend either a C. M. T. C. or one of the R. O. T. C. camps during the summer.” Babe Ruth remarks: “The first essential to success in any activi- ty is good health. The C. M. T. C. with their supervised athletic exercises in the open air are health builders. Besides they teach our young men the funda- mentals of real American citizen- ship and therefore strongly ap- peal to me.” Gene Tunney says: “The C. M. T; C. incalculably benefits young men menitaly, moraly and physi- cally. The thirty days in the open relieves the indoor man from his cares and worries of business and keep the athlete on his toes for his future contests.” Similar remarks were made by Wallace Wade, athletic director of the University of Alabama, by Coach Rockne of Notre Dame, by Coach Bierman of the University of Louisiana, by Johnny Weiss- muller, the champion sprint swim- mer,’by Bill Tilden, the world's best on the tennis court, and by many others. 0 Sigma Delta Chi To Celebrate Founding In observance of the fraternity’s Founders’ day the Washington and Lee chapter of Sigma Delta Chi will arrange a special pro- gram on April 17 which will in- clude a smoker.

With practice sessions daily on the east Lexington island, Coach P.

Martin out on the in batting practice the has been ‘working mound past few days and he should get the call against the S. M. A. nine in Monday’s opener. The infield‘ combination which Coach Davis has been using in practice sessions looks to be the strongest department of the year- ling outfit. Much material is or. hand for this department and a fast combination should result. Wilson has been working out at the first base position and should see action in the opening contest. Cross has been doing most of the work at the keystone bag and with his fielding and work at the bat he should be one of the big stars on Coach Davis’ nine during the coming season. Mattox and Routon have been waging a merry fight for the éhortstop berth and both have been playing some real ball. Mattox has been working the most frequent in practice sessions and should get the call at the shortfield on Monday. Smith, Burke, and McNeer have been fighting it out for the third base position and all have been seeing some service in the fielding work- outs but it looks as though Burke will start. I The outfield problem is one of nearly as much- trouble as the mound problem. The material re- porting for the outer garden is scarce and quite green. It is doubtful that the coach will find a corps of fly Chasers whose work at the bat will be of high order but with more experience as the season progresses it is thought that Stapleton, Cowin, Taylor and others can be ‘developed to strengthen this department. Along with the infield, the catching material gives much promise. A number of capable receivers are on hand and it is hard now to decide who will start Monday’s affair. Wright, Tignor, and Wohlwender along with sev- eral others are all receivers of first rank and it will probably be the work of these men at the bat as well as their throwing which will decide who will do the backstop duty. p...;iD;;2.i.. Against Running F or Governor Roanoke, Va., March 26.—Any atmosphere of" uncertainty that of Tazewell, retiring congressman from the Ninth district, may have created the somewhat involved gubernatorial primary race in Virginia this year was dissipated yesterday when the Tazewell lawyer, farmer and stock raiser, repeated effect the famous words of Calvin Coolidge, “I do not choose to run.” in Mr. Peery’s statement was given The Roa- noke Times’ by long distance tele- phone, through his secretary, T. McCall Frazier. _ It follows: “In view of the fact that my name has from time to time been nentioned as a probable candi- date for governor in the coming democratic primary, it seems ap- propriate that I make a state- ment as to my decision. “I am deeply grateful to my many friends in the Ninth dis- trict and throughout the state for their generous offers of support I thank the newspapers for gra- cious mention I have received from many of them. “No true Virginian is unmind- ful of the great honor which comes to him who may be chosen to serve as governor of the state. We rejoice in the progress the state has made under the admin- istration of the democratic party. The vital concern of every loyal democrat now is continued su- uremacy of our party in state 1fi'airs to the end that this fine record of progress may continue. “In the hope of promoting har- mony in the party I announce that I do not expect to become a candidate in the approaching primary.” With Senator B. F. Buchanan of Smyth, regarded as definitely out of the race, the field so far in gubernatorial aspirants is con- fined to Eastern Virginia and there now seems no likelihoodl that the oft-repeated claim thatl Eastern Virginia is entitled to the . next governor will be disputed so far as opposition in the pri- mary is concerned. Library Books Not Returned Situation Unimproved, Al- though Some Encourage- ment Is Noted. _ None of the books on the list printed last week in the Ring- tum Phi have been returned so far, Miss McCrum said today. Some encouragement has been given the library force, however, by the return of a French paral- lel, which has been missing from the shelves for over a year. The book was returned by a man who said that he had seen it lying around his fraternity house for some ‘months and “thought it might be a good idea to return it to the library.” Miss McCrum thought it was a good idea, too, and said that it would be a better idea if other students would profit by the ex- ample set by this one.

FRESHMEN NOT TO PAINT CAMPUS The freshman class of 1929 is to be congratulated on the action taken at‘ the compul- sory freshman meeting in Lee Memorial chapel last night. The class voluntarily stated that no painting would be done on Freshman night, March 29. For several years it has been the custom of the fresh- man classes put their class numerals in every conceivable spot upon this night. The campus and several of the buildings have been defaced in this manner and the present class deserves the highest commendation on its decision. -Changres Seen in Next Issue Of Magazine New Department On Campus Questions To Be In- augurated. The Easter dance number of ‘he “Southern Collegian” will ap- pear on April 19. A story by Wilton Garrison entitled “Flesh and Blood,” will feature the is- sue, along with the concluding half of the article on “Dryden and Poetic Satire.” An unusual- ly large amount of good poetry has been submitted, along with many short stories and sketches. A new department devoted solely to local and national campus questions will be inaugurated along with an altered make-up Articles by Elias and Sugrue, stories by Ashworth and Raymond, and humor by Wilkin- son will complete the magazine. Plans for next year include en- largement as to size, with special attention being given to discus- sion of campus questions. The humor section will be enlarged and specialized, and if possible cuts and engravings will be used. Every effort will be expended to- ward making the “Southern Col- legian” the organ of student opin- ion rather than merely a literary magazine interesting to only a small portion of the student body. Browngigzihs - in Washington Addresses Military Officers At Convention Held On March 19-20-21. Dr. William M. Brown, head of the department of education at Washington and Lee, led a discussion at the sixteenth annu- al meeting of the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States held at the Mayflower hotel, Washington, on March 19, 20, and 21. Dr. Brown’s discussion was on psychology and wah delivered on the second day of the convention. Two of the officers of the na- tional body are from this section of the state. They are: Major Roy W. Wonson, S. M. A., secre- tary-treasurer, and Col. Wm. Couper, V. M. 1., member of the executive committee. 0 Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Sigma, Delta Upsilon, and Theta Chi Ilouses are all quarantined for scarlet fever at the Univer- sity of Illinois. The university health officer said the situation v.as not alarming, yet it is sur- prising how quickly the disease developed in these houses during the past few days. A three—run rally in the sev- enth inning placed \Vashington and Lee out in front by two tal- lies and broke up a mound duel between Hurley, Catholic univer- sity’s ace, opposed by two Gen- eral slab artists, Rainer and Wright, yesterday. The final score of the game which was marked by a few blunders on the paths was 6-4. Conditions looked rather bad in the first inning for the Generals when Brennan singled after Walsh had struck out. Gioffre hit to Thibodeau, who threw the horsehide over Williams’ head in trying to head off the Cardinal shortstop, Brennan going to third ind scored on l\lansfield’s sacri- ice. Lowdon took McCabe’s long fly on the run to end the inning. Score Twice In First. The Generals came )£1('l{ in their half to score twice. Jacobs walked and “Tibby” sacrificed him to second. Slanker got his fourth zonsecutive hit of the season, sending Jake across the plate. On a hit-and-run play White hit through the spot left open when Mansfield went over to cover sec- ond, Slanker going to third and he scored on Richar(lson’s single to left. Hurley threw out Wil- liams and Gioffre took Lowdon’s roller to end the scoring. Both teams went scoreless in the second with Rainer getting the Cardinal side on strike outs, Rayhawk, Flannagan, and Sweeney going back to bench without con- necting safely. In the third Catholic U. scored two more runs to take the lead. Hurley opened the frame with :1 double to right-center. Walsh caught hold of a curve for a sin- gle to left, scoring Hurley. Gior"- fre bunted and Walsh scored as Rainer threw the ball wild. Mansfield walked, but Gioffre was out stealing. Come Back In Fifth. In their half of the fifth the Generals scored once. Thibodeau started the deparedatory work by hitting a fast one past Rayhawk for a two-bagger. Slanker got an infield hit whenlhis roller went just behond the reach of Hurley and Mansfield could not get the ball to McCabe fast enough to beat the General center gardener. White flied to right, Thibodeau scoring after the catch. Bren- nan's throw to Giotfre beat Hank when the latter tried to move up to second as “Tibby” scored. Richardson flied high to Sweeney to end the inning. With the opening of the sixth a new battery took the place of Rainer and Taliaferro. “Sugar” Wright, outfielder, first baseman, and general utility man, going into the box with “Red” Hanna receiving him. Wright got by the sixth all right with Gioffre flying out to Slanker, Jacobs tossing out Mansfield, and Thibo- deau taking McCabe’s roller and allowing Williams to do the rest. But the seventh nearly proved the undoing of “Sugar.” With two away Sweeney singled and stole second. Hurley singled to right and scored Sweeney. The Cardinal pitcher was left strand- ed as Wright braced and whiffed Walsh. Lucky Seventh. Wright opened the seventh by reaching first on McCabe’s error. Jacobs laid down his life to ad- vance him to second. Thibodeau singled to center, scoring Wright and tying the score at four all. Umpire Orth called a third strike on Slanker. White came through with a Texas leaguer just out of Giofire’s reach, scoring Thibo- deau. Johnny Richardson follow- ed with his second hit of the day, a double to right, scoring the General captain. Williams whiffed to end the scoring for the day. Going into the ninth with a two- run handicap to overcome the Cardinal coach sent in a few (Continued on Page Four .

No one need refer to the calendar to learn spring is here. One knows it. You cannot tell him otherwise. With the coming of spring comes the’ “home stretch” before examinations and Finals in June. And too with spring comes elections—politics—-campaigns—spring fe- ver. But elections and politics are Vastly_ most important to many. ' Three weeks from tomorrow will be elec- tion day for all candidate other than those entered in the athletic council race. Already friendly approaches are being made, students are speaking more vigor- ously, but no open announcements are be- ing made. Things are moving on the under- current of secrecy, but ten days from now everything will be ablaze with political propaganda. Cigars, cigarettes, picture shows, automobile rides—all will be the style. , A Upper classmen have enjoyed past cam- paigns, or in many cases have lived through the gruelling, never-ceasing grind of “Will you vote for me?” But to freshmen, cam- pus politics at Washington and Lee is some- thing new—a novel experience-—and one well worth “writing home about.” Cam- paigns will be “hot” and will furnish ex- citement but be on your guard lest some shrewd politician or “political boss” sweeps you off your feet. Be careful lest he make you commit yourself on something which might prove a great mistake. We have frequently heard “anything is fair in love and war.” Evidently in the past many candidates have thought campus politics was war, for sfirely no one could have called it love. ' Every year there have been rumors of cliques, and there have been some from time to time. We sincerely hope this year our campus will not be afflicted with such a distasteful thing. There is an interfra- ternity agreement that there shall be no organized swapping of individual votes. Let’s hope this rule will be observed. This may seem a bit early to mention disasters which might occur for some and great triumphs for others if cliques are formed, but it is better, the RING-TUM PHI feels, to call attention to the undesira- bility of vote swapping before it is begun than to do this after “swaps” are already made. Let’s make politics open! Be on the level! Make a clean breast of everything in your campaign! Let’s not resort to the ambush! And may the best man win! —————-o———— THAT ONE NIGHT. “Freedom has a thousand charms to show, That slaves, howe’er contented, never know.” Friday night will be a night of celebra- tion. It should be a night of celebration and joy for the freshman. It marks the end of freshmen rules, and the V. C., and the freshmen hats. For seven months the class of 1932 has looked forward to this night, and at last it is here. The freshman rules have not been harsh. The Vigilance Committee has not been un- reasonable. There is really no need for an outburst such as will take place. The fresh- men will find they are on the ;<::ii'::.: plane after Friday night as they were 1: fore. But as a symbol the ou‘Lbin'st will be jus- tified. It perpetuates the airpi‘e,ci:;~.,ion of freedom that our ancestors (iisplayccl in 1776 when they cast aside the bonds of British tyranny. As long as tliis spirit prevails in Anerican youth there slioiilcl be no fear of our democracy. ' As the Freshman Night C(‘.lelf)l”:ll;lO1l will be symbolic, it is sensible tlizit it be re- strained. Stuzlent body officers h;-.vr3 warned the class to conduct the celebration in such a way that V. M. I. and the townspeople will not be offended. Tlicy also caiitionecl them against marring 7UI1l\7Ol‘Sll.,‘,' property. Undoubtedly the class realizes the rea- sons behind these requcsts. They have been here long enough to undci'stand our relations with V. M. I. and the town, and they need only look on the grziiiite steps beside the Chapel where a crude “Z7” stares into visitors’ faces to realize the reason- ableness of the second i'equest. The other classes will stand by with con- fidence Friday night, leaving the frc;~:l1men to restrain their joy. It will be the first time the class has had an opportunity to present its claim to inembersliip in the student body. Way it come tlirougli with- out a mar. o FOCH AT REST. _ Yesterday, thousands, even millions, of heads bent in reverence as the world’s greatest military leader was laid to rest alongside the remains of ‘other great French chieftains. The man who so nobly directed the move- ments of our allies during the horrible strug- gle against Germany from 1914 "through 1918, the general ranked parallel only with the great Napoleon and CllEl1’l(llllétf.,"ll0 of French military history, Field Marshal Foch, generalissimo of the entire Allied armies, was buried among the tears and mourning of thousands of spectators yes- terday. ~ Foch was loved, respected, l10D0l‘€‘.l, and cherished by his countrymen and by all who knew him. Even his most violent ene- mies during time of strike inspected and honored him, and during peace loved him. The tactics and skill of the French Clllt‘-E»- tain has frequently been coin1>:.u:e:‘. with the immortal war chieftains: iA.l(3K'clll(l':"‘i', C181’- lemagne, Napoleon, and General Robert E. Lee. The world has lost a great licro, a great leader, a great gentleman, the *-.‘.'<>:*ld joins France ininourning the loss of such an im- mortal military genius. o PUBLICITY CONSCI0Ui7£. Despite all the wondei'ful social and scientific strides of the past (lecado students are still skeptical when 21 reporter ja.:—:ks for information and personal views’-2. Tlic nov- elty of the “press” will not wear oil’. A part of the work of every reporter is to persuade bashfiil students to express themselves. It is the liardest l2.‘3ll( one can assign an embryonic jonrnzilist. Frequent- |.y, it seems, that the personal code of stu- lents requires them to hem and haw while being interviewed by a repoi'fcr, who de- sires only to get a creditable story of gen- eral -interest. The RING-TUM PHI is printed for the students and University, as well as by the students, and for the paper to be a fair representative of student opinions, student happenings, and student affairs it is essen- tial that the enterprising reporter call on members of the student body from time to time. Questionsfrequently arise upon the cani- pus and in faculty meetings which could be easily decided through the voice of stu- dents, if they would only express themselves through these columns instead of thrashing the problem out in “bull sessions.” The contents of such discussioiis gciieinlly go no further than the human car can hear, and no good is attained. The columns of this paper are open to print the “voice of stLidents.” In fact, we urge thatstudents having any recommen- dations for changes about the University do so through our columns instead of in “bull sessions.” 0 o A few students occasionally realize that,‘ after all, the story or article is not personal to them at all, but is merely a means of lending aid to the daily chronicle of human events. 0 Histories teach wisdom, but not ex cryone learns. ~William Lyon ’ Phelps. o Every worthy movement has to pass throu_~.;'h three stages.

(An Editorial). What can be done to get missing books back into the library ? Student sentiment is strong against those who misplaced them, but the stand students as a whole have taken seems to be offset by the attitude of the few who are the culprits. One book has been returned, but on the same day onebwas returned another was re- moved. The man who did this is deliberately fiaunting the whole school and the men who head the student body. He and his compatriots are harming all fellow students when they blot the school’s honor. Recently, a man brought to the library a book that had been out several years. ‘He had seen it around his house for months, knew it was a library book, and returned it. The book did not happen to be one of those recorded as disappearing in the list of fourteen that Miss McCrum gave the RING-TUM PHI. This student did the right thing, and in his act lies a possible means of recovering others. If a man sees a library book anywhere outside the library, he should turn to the back leaves and see when it was taken out legally. If the date stamped therein is old enough to be overdue, he should take it uponhimself to return this book. Of course, there is the possibility that the book had been properly taken out and was still being read in a legal manner, but this possibility is small if the date is over two weeks old. This plan can result in some of the books being re- covered. The head of every fraternity house and every rooming house should have all books in their shelves gone through with the possibility of finding “stray” volumes. Some men who have taken books have prob- ably already left the University and forgetfully left them behind in their rooms. If there is a volume in any student’s room‘ stamped by the library, it is his duty to return it forthwith. One man has suggested that a list of names be com- piled of all those who have had library reading assigned in the missing books. He suggested that rooms of these men, all of whom could be considered suspects, be searched, or that the men themselves be brought before the executive committee for quizzing. The first of his alternatives could not be done. It would be con- trary to the spirit of Washington and Lee. It smacks more of the methods of a penitentiary, wherewardens search for stolen objects among a body of criminals. The far greater part of the names on his proposed list are innocent, but doubtless the malefactors are some- where on it. He justified his proposed method '.vl.il the quotation: “Desperate conditions require desperate remedies.” The second of these suggestions, if carried out, would not be effective, in our opinion. A man who will steal will lie to save himself. There is surely some way to get the stolen books back.

Golf, supposedly a quiet game for home-loving, law-abiding bus- iness men, annually takes a great- er toll of dead and injured than the sport of flying, according to a report from an authentic source. The majority of golfing acci- dents which result fatally are caused when players are struck in the head by a driven ball.

Equipment Unexcelled Overthe ~39 Coffee Cup “THE WOMAN PAYS,” an old expression, may be literally true some day. Women control 41 per cent of the nation’s wealth and are rapidly increasing» their im- portance in financial markets, a financial survey reveals. In the American Telephone and Tele- graph company, United States Steel corporation, Pennsylvania railroad, Westinghouse Air Brake company they already outnumber the men share—holders. But they do not control majority of the stock. FORTY-SIX WOMEN paid taxes on incomes of $1,000,000 or more in 1926, the same set of figures reveal. Only forty-two men paid on incomes of the same division. Not only are women mil- lionaires as plentiful as men, but they are becoming more numer- ous. Women are beneficiaries of 80 per cent of the $95,000,000,000 of life insurance policies. To most men these figures are astonish- ing. Few realize the importance women play in business life. WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS re- ceived large sums after the death of thoughtful husbands. Many times they have never enjoyed the provision’s benefits. Land sharks, wild-cat oil salesmen, and other promoters have preyed upon them, but it appears women are either receiving more sound coun- gel in investments or their busi- ness sense has improved. Could a better assortment of invest- ment stock be picked than those mentioned‘? Such radical issues as Radio, General Motors, Ana- conda, and Montgomery Ward are missing, the dividend producing stocks are attracting women. IS THERE A NEW TAMMA- NY? This was a big question in the last national campaign. Many were doubtful at the time and shook their heads. The sly old cat was just its disguise, they said. But results of the past week make many a political ob- server take notice. Since the res- ignation of Judge Olvany as head of the Wigwam, the Braves have hesitated in selecting his succes- sor. Friday it was planned to district leader into the The attempt failed. slip a chair. DISTRICT LEADERS planned to ignore ex—Govornor Al Smith the “Big Four” of ‘Tammany, but they could not se- lect the leader. ’ponent of a “new Tainmany" was had Ellltl Snnth as the ex- placed, as the result, in a posi- tion where what he says is likely to be the decision. He and Mayor Walker, as two members of the “Big Four” are at odds. VValk- er, with his eye on the City Hall for another tcrni, favors electing a district leader; Smith favors an outsider, one who will not carry the organization back to “spoils system.” On his side he has the other two members of the dictatorial group, and should, ,split the ‘\theref'ore, select a leader symbolic ‘of the new spirit, even if it does group and threatens Walker’s chance of re—election. THE PROHIBTION laws which have caused so much internal fric- tion in the United States have again involved the country in iii- ternational complications. A coast guard patrol boat last week sunk the British schooner I’Malone in the Gulf’ of Mexico outside of the coastal waters. Several details around which serious trouble may result must be straightened out. The ship was long known as a “rnm—runnei’.” If this Case is looked upon as the facts present it, it will probably blow over. But if England sees in it an op- portunity to release some of its venom for American commercial rivalry. it may be carried still J A C K S O N ’ S Barber Shop With a Conscience Opposite New Theatre NELSON STREET Nuff Said The 1863 1927 ‘gsasr B R 0 V.’ N ’ S Cleaning Works ~ Phone 282 163-65 S.

Wilson field will be the second stopping place for the Maryland squad, the Orange and Black making its season debut against V. M. I. this Saturday. Eppley has about definitely de- cided upon his entries, and it ap- pears that the visiting team and Captain Backus and his men are formidable in the same events. The “century of the season” is promised when Bob Quinn, Mary- land, and Ralph Grant, W. & L., line up for the hundred. Quinn is the strongest threat of the in- vaders in the shorter runs and has shown that he is to be reck- oned in the point scoring. He made a most promising showing last month in the Meadowbrook games against Percy Williams, Olympic champion. Grant has ex- hibited a clever pair of heels to all sprinters on the indoor tracks this season. Good Vaulters. Another close decision is ex- pected in the pole vault. Mary- land has three jumpers, Sutter, McDonald, and Aman, who do consistently over eleven feet, while Fletcher is banking hopes on Pomeroy and Maxey. Backus will probably run both the 880 and the mile in an attempt to stop Maryland’s star distance runners, ‘:.Plumbley and Remsburg. Leigh Williams, Sheppard and Dickey are counted upon to show the College Parkers just how the 440 should be run. Kinnamon, Linzey and other members of the if. of M. mile relay team that trounced -the U. of Pennsylva- nia quartet this winter will again run the quarter. Hurdlers Scarce. Timber-toppers seme to be scarce on both teams. The visit- ‘ ing mentor has been searching for the past month for a perform- er who can get over a hurdle without a stepladder, while Fletch- er has been drafting into the bar- rier rianks every runner who looks as if he can step higher than three feet. ' As to the field events, a black mystery still remains around the local squad. Sandifer, veteran broad jumper, is still nursing a serious spike wound. The Mc- Donald brothers, Henry and John, both giants of over six feet, ap- ‘ pear strongest for Maryland. McCOY’S THREE STORES FRUITS.

WRESTLERS TO COMPETE IN COLLEGE MEET AT OHIO STATE Blacksburg, Va., March 2.’.- Milton Andes, 135-pound Virginia Polytechnic Institute wrestler of Martinsville, Va., will represent V. P. l. in the national intercol- legiate wrestling meet‘ at Ohio State university March 29 and 30. Andes has been a star on the V. P.

I. twice won the Southern championship. He was second ranking wrestler in his weight in the final Olympic try- outs at Grand Rapids last July.- FroshTr0ackmen Show Up Well F or ’29 Season Fletcher’s Yearlings To Run In Four Dual Meets And State Competition. Encouraged by the pre-season "showing 'of his yearling track- sters, Coach Forest Fletcher has compiled a schedule of four dual meets and one state competition for his runners. Two of the meets are booked for Wilson field, ‘the Little Gen- erals meeting Jefl"erson High of Roanoke here April 13, and Rich- mond here April 20. Opening their program at Staunton a week from this Sat- urday, Fletcher expects to have in uniform many athletes of tried worth. What promises to be a spirited rivalry for team berths is evidenced in the sprint depart- ment. Six athletes of prep school fame have reported for the short- er runs and are staging a merry race for top honors. Leading the van is Finklestein, all-Florida sprint and hurdle champion; Ade and Harris, former Augusta Mili- tary academy dependables; Price of Central High, Washington, D. C., and Williams of Montana have shown that they are to be counted in the running. However, Fletch- er has no intention of strength- ening one event at the expense of another and will experiment with Finklestien specializing in the hurdles and will probably shift Price to the forty-four. Longer Runs. Fortified in the longer runs Wltll RI'OCl8I‘lCk, ex-prep school flash from New York, in the 880, and Coll rapidly developing into a threat in the mile, Fletcher has turned his attention to the high and broad jumps where no outstanding candidates have yet reported. Hargrove in the pole vault . is expected to hover around eleven feet this spring. Although the strength of the field department still remains a mystery, as wet weather has not given the athletes a Chance to extend themselves, it is known that at least half a dozen weight men are experienced. Stevens, winner of the shot put in the Princeton And Colgate Teams To Play Opening Games Here Generals To Engage Tigers On Friday; Maroon Saturday. Washington and Lee will fur- nish the opposition this week-end in the opening games of two Northern colleges, Princeton and Colgate, as they begin their an- nual spring trip Southward. On Friday the Princeton Tiger will invade Lexington, followed on Saturday by the Maroon of Col- gate. ‘ Princeton has been working out for the past two weeks, but no definite line-up has been decided upon by the Tiger mentor. The squad has been cut down from sixty candidates to twenty-eight with only twenty-three of these making the trip. Six hurlers are included in the squad——three veterans and three sophomores. Palmer, Heydt, and Caleb Layton are the veterans, and Ted Moles, Waddy Ingersoll. and Sid Waud comprise the hurl- ers who are making the trek Southward for the first time. Of the receivers Evans Hicks has the edge on the other candidates by reason of his two years’ var- sity experience. Infield Problem. The infield presents a problem to the Princeton tutor. At first base he has Jim Emert, but sec- ond is uncertain and it may be necessary to move Bill Swift from third to the keystone sack. Johnny O’Toole at short and Dick Vogt at the “hot corner” com- plete the inner defense. It may be necessary in an emergency to move _Captain Phil Strubing in from the outfield in order to fill the gap at second. On the outer patrol Trix Ben- nett, Tiger sophomore halfback of the past season with the edu- cated toe, is expected to add his third monogram of the year by holding down one of the posts. Should Strubing be moved in from the outfield Ed Wittmer and Lat Stewart will probably flank Ben- nett in the garden. Weatherley Reinmund is in reserve should any one of the regular gardeners fail to function up to expecta- tions. Colgate comes to Lexington with less preparation than Prince- ton has had. The athletes from Virginia indoor carnival; Mitchell in the shot put and javelin, and Bailey in the discus are counted upon for creditable performances this season. Schedule follows: April 6—S. M. A.

Mr. Johen- ning has carried out the order admirably as a visit to the top of the Robert E. Lee hotel will disclose. From that position can be seen the sign “Lexington” painted with aluminum paint in letters nine feet high and ex- tending at least fifty feet across the roof of the courthouse. An arrow points directly north. It is believed the sign can be easily read from an airplane. Hamilton, New York, have been hampered by inclement weather this spring so that they are not in condition. To add to this the Maroon mentor has only four let- uer winners from last year on hand. On the mound Captain Cardner is the only experienced boxman of the squad. Hagy at first, Enoch behind the plate, and Bonacker, Colgate’s great all- around athlete, an infielder, com- plete the quartet of men who have seen service in a Maroon uniform before. Princeton's stop here will be the first game to be played of a ‘Wen-day trip on which six games are scheduled. Colgate has only four games to be played in the week.

M. C. A., in his first bout of the carnival by a time advantage, later winning in his second bout which was the semi-final bout over May, also of the Richmond team. This bout was decided in Mathis’ favor only after two periods of extra wrest- ling, during which periods Mathis showed himself superior by pin- ning his man and holding him for the entire time and winning the judges’ decision. The final bout in this class was staged an hour later and Mathis was pitted against Lewis of the Baltimore Y. M. C. A. club and former holder of the Eastern in- tercollegiate championship while wrestling with the Lehigh uni- versity team last year. This bout was declared one of the most in- tertsing ones of the meet with both men of nearly equal ability. Both men were on their feet for the first six minutes of the bout, with Lewis refusing to mix in the fighting at all. With a large mat and no ring it was easy to evade going down until the limit and after six minutes of wrestling Mathis tried for a pick- up hold and his opponent jumped off the mat and in the mixup they fell. The referee decided that Mathis should go down, although they went off the mat in a neu- tral position. Under the system of judging and scoring‘ used Lewis was awarded five points for this. Starting on the mat with Mathis down, in less than ' three seconds he was on his feet again, thus being given three points. The remaining few min- utes saw the men wrestling on their feet and the bout being awarded to Lewis by virtue of five points to three advantage. Washington and Lee’s second entrant, was John Osterman, who also went into the final bouts of the meet only to be defeated. Osterman won his first bout of the meet over Broadus of Wash- ington in an active affair. The Washington and Lee picked his man up off the mat four times in the first few min- utes and securing a big point ad- vantage. ‘ ~ The final bout for Osterman saw him pitted against Erickson of Baltimore Y. M. C. A. The minutes of wrestling Erickson had Osterman on the mat underneath and he was unable to get away, thus giving the Baltimore man the bout by a time advantage.

The results are the same as far as a theater audience is concern- ed. In the Vitaphone process the sound is caught in a microphone, is amplified, and recorded on a wax disc by practically the same method as the phonograph com- panies use. ‘From the disc a phonograph record is made, andl played behind the screen, highly amplified, ‘and synchronized with the film.
