‘Washington and Lee
Wins Princeton Debate

Audience Votes 43 _to 33 In
Favor Of Negative Side
Of Question.

ANALYSIS OF VOTES
PROVES INTERESTING

Novel Method Of Balloting
Results In Change Of
Hearers’ Opinions.

By A. M. Harvey.

The
bating team Monday night suc-
cessfully presented the negative
side of the question, Resolved,
That national advertising as now
carried on is both socially and
economically harmful, and won
over the Princeton debeating team
by the vote of 43 to 33. The de-
bate was held in Lee chapel and
is the only home appearance of
the Washington and Lee team.
R. O. Morrow, J. R. Moore, and
W. A. Plummer represented the
University.

Although nearly two hundred
people heard the debate only
seventy-six voted. However, this
is the usual percentage of voter;
cast by debate audiences. The
debate with Washington and Lee
was the fifth time that Princeton
has discussed the question. This
was the first time that the local
team has had the question.

Plummer Is High Light.

“Bill” Plummer was the high
light for the local team. His re-
ply to the clever remarks of the
visitors in his rebuttal saved him
and his colleagues from humilia-
tion.

Each man was given fourteen
minutes to be used at his own
discretion. Two Princetonians
used all of their time in their
first speeches. Plummer and
Morrow saved a portion of their
time for a rebuttal, as did Kre-
tier of Princeton. This system is
more elastic than the old and
allows the rebuttal to come in
its logical place. Plummer
switched his order of speaking
with Moore, so as to answer
Haynes. The Washington and
Lee team was coached to be ready
in any emergency, to be ready to
adapt themselves to any argu-
ment which might be advanced
by the opposition. C

The order of speakers was as
follows: K. H. Kreder was the
first speaker for the affirmative
and R. 0. Morrow for the nega-
tive. They were followed by W.
W. Haynes and W. A. Plummer
of Princeton and Washington and
Lee respectively. The last speak-

ers were John E. Thiele for the

affirmative and J. R. Moore for
the negative.

Professor R. B. Ellard, head
of the department of journalism,
was the chairman, making the
introductory speech.

The Princeton team was
coached by Professor Hoyt H.
Hudson, who was teaching at Cor-
nell when Professor Bauer taught
there during 1922-24.

Changes In Opinions.

The analysis of the voting
showed several changes in opin-
ions. Of the twenty-three who
believed in the affirmative before
the debate, four were won over
to the negative side and one was
undecided after the debate. Eight
believed more strongly in the af-
firmative of the resolution, while
ten believed the same way as
before the debate. Six who still
believed in the affirmative after
hearing the debate voted that the
negative, Washington and Lee, did
the better debating. All of those
who were won over to the other
side of the question believed that
the negative did the more efiective
debating. On the merits of the
debate Washington and Lee won
forty-three votes and Princeton
thirty-three. .

There were seventeen people
before the debate who were un-
decided on the question; eight of
these were swung over to the
affirmative and seven to the nega-
tive side of the question. Two
were still “on the fence.”

Thirty-six people before the de-
bate believed in the negative of
the proposition. Of these, six
were won over to the afiirmative
side, two were undecided, three
did not say, and ten believed even

Dr. J. Y. Simpson

is Speaker For
Next Assembly

Edinburgh University Facul-

For Talk To Students.

Dr. James Y. Simpson of the
University of Edinburgh, Scot-
land, will be the speaker at the
regular April University assem-
bly to be held in the gymnasium
Thursday at 11:30.

Dr. Simpson is very prominently
connected with New College, a
part of the University where he
has classes in philisophy,of sci-
ence, theory of evolution, etc.,
and it is very probable that he
will speak along these lines, al-
though he has not yet announced
his subject.

Following the World war, Dr.
Simpson was a member of the
peace delegation in Paris and
helped settle the frontiers of the
Baltic, states. He is now in this
country to deliver the Terry lec-
tures at Yale, an honor that is

-\. accorded only to men of rare abil-

ity. The subject of these lectures
will be “Nature: Cosmic, Human,
and Divine.” .

The usual assembly day sched-
ule will be observed, with forty-
five minute classes beginning at
8:30.

Harciflliispect
For Trackmen

In Tarheel Trip

Two Meets In Three Days On
Program With NCS
And N CU. ‘

Two meets in three days is the
program facing the varsity track-
sters this week-end when they
trek into Tarheel territory to
stack up against the University
of North Carolina this Saturday
and match strides with North
Carolina State on Monday.

Undefeated in dual meets for
the past eight seasons, the Uni-
versity runners will meet the
Generals fresh from their spring
debut of last Saturday when they
swamped Virginia 79 to 47. Con-
fident that they can retain an un-
smirched record, the Chapel Hill
aggregation will present three
dependables who they expect to
smash Southern conference rec-
ords. Vernon Cowper, pole vault
sensation", Captain John Hender-
son, two miler, and Dave Sims,
middle distance star, are expected
to establish new records. Cow-
per has already vaulted 12 feet 9
inches in practice.

Strong Weight Star.

Harper, weight star, is another
expected threat. He tossed the
discus 135 feet 7 inches while
competing against V. P. I. In the
sprints Ken Kap, sophomore flash,
will bid for honors. This speed
demon captured both dashes
against the Cadets last week, tak-
ing the 220 in 21 3-4 seconds.

Lelatinigtori Banks
To Impose Fines
For Cold Checks

The banks of Lexington will
charge for small checking ac-
counts after May 1, according to
announcements in the Lexington
Weeklies. According to the cash-
iers of the banks, this charge is
made because of small amount of

and because of expenditures for
stationery and supplies.

The rules adopted by the banks
are as follows:

each of the undersigned bank;-.
will make a charge of fifty cents
per month on each checking ac-
count that has been drawn upon.
where the average collected bal-
ance shall have been less than
fifty dollars.

2. Where more than ten (10)
checks are drawn, in any month,
a charge of fifty cents per month
on each checking account, where
the average collected balance
shall have been less than one
hundred dollars.

3. No charge will be made on
accounts upon which no checks
have been drawn during the
month.

4. A charge of twenty-five
cents will be made against the
drawer for each check dishonored
and returned unpaid.

5. A charge of twenty-five
cents on all notes left with us
“for collection.”

By rule four it can be seen that
all who pass cold checks will be
charged twenty—five cents by the
particular bank with which they
have an account.‘

Banks Give Reasons.

In the announcement figures
are given by the banks in giving
reasons for the adoption of the
rules. Of 1,443 checking accounts
742 carried only $9,307.28, or an

‘average of $12.54 per account. If

the bank could keep this balance
of $12.54 continually invested at
6 per cent for a year, it would
realize the sum of seventy-five
cents. This means that less than
seven cents per month per ac-
count is the limit for expenditures
for stationery and supplies, leav-
ing no profit whatever for the
bank. I

All Copy Is Now In Hands
Of Printer——Modern-
istic Theme.

All the copy for the 1929 Colyx
has been completed and sent in
to the publishers and engravers.
according to a statement made
today by C. C. Hutchinson, editor,
who has been assured by the
printers that it will be out on
time.

The book is being printed by
the Benson Printing Company, of
Nashville, Tenn., and an order
has been placed for 650 copies.
A few extra copies were secured,
and anyone who desires to get
one may do so by seeing E. H.
Ould, business manager, or any
member of the business staff.

The theme this year is a mod-
ernistic one, and has been car-
ried out in the art work, most
of which was done by M. M. Jun-
kin, who was editor of the Calyx
two years ago, and is now study-
ing art in New York. The cover
was also designed by Junkin and
is in keeping with the theme.

Several Changes.

There will be several changes
this year over the 1928 Calyx.
It will be composed of 386 pages
which is ten more than used be-
fore. The Senior Section will
have only two pictures on a page
instead of four, and the Athletic
Section will contain a new ar-
rangement of pictures which will
be on oversize pages. Pencil
drawings of the captains of the
major sports have been made by
M. L. Glover and will head their
respective teams. The Beauty
Section will carry the pictures of
twelve girls who have attended
dances at Washington and Lee
this year. These pictures were
selected by a special committee;
the ones chosen have not yet been

announced.

Recording Orchestra make

appearance in
spring dances, postponed
year, will get under way.

Kyser and his band have been
iplaying in New York City for
lthe past five months and have
come South for the Easter dances
;hcre, at V. P. I., and V. M. I.
They will also fill theatre engage-
_ments in Winston-Salem, Durham,
iand other cities on their tour.
l The orchestra played recently
in Lynchburg, Roanoke, and Pe--
,t;‘rsburg. During the month of
.‘-Ta;-.', thjey will play a return en-
lgagement in Lexington, Ky. On
the fourth of June, they will open
at Bamboo Gardens, Cleveland
Ohio.

Has Risen Rapidly.

Kyser has one of the most pop-
ular bands in this part of the
country, and has risen rapidly
from a college orchestra at the
University of North Carolina to
a Victor Recording band and the-
atre headliner.

This same band played here
for the Easter set of dances last
xear. A better crowd of students
is expected this year because of
the change in date of the spring
dances.

Made Victor Record.

Their. first Victor record was
released February 22, and has
proven very popular. The tunes
were “Broken Dreams of Yester-
day” and “Tell Her.” While in
New York, the orchestra played
at Janssen’s Haufbrau, where
they were under the direction of
the National Broadcasting com-
pany (WEAF and WJZ).

The band is now composed of
twelve men, including two pianos,
and four trumpets. Kyser is fea-
Luring “I Faw Dawn and Go
Boom,” “Runnin’ Wild,” “The
Song I Love,” “Lover Come Back‘
to Me,” etc.

The dances are held under the
.lirect1on of the Cotillion and “13”
clubs.

Committee Reports Shortage
Of $1500 In Individual
Student Subscription.

FIRST OF MAY SET
FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

I..a.<-it Drive Starting Tomor-
row When Checks Will
Be Sought.

Jan Garber has been signed.
decorating begins next Week, and
the Finals finance committee,~on
its last week of work, reports a

shortage of about $1,500 in the
student subscription.

” The Finals budget calls for an

expenditure of nearly $8,000 for
the fives dances, programs, deco-

rations, and the course dinner at
midnight during the Final ball.
This amount raised partly
through student subscription and

is

the various fraternities and cam-
pus organizations. Because Fin-
als is essentially a university en-
terprise every student is expected
to contribute $10 if he expects
to stay and $5 otherwise. The
wise stay.

All contributions must be in,
and all checks taken care of by
May 1, it was stated last night.
The finance committee is staging
a final drive tomorrow or Friday
which will be the last chance.
Checks will be taken dated ahead
to May 1, but checks for imme-
diate collections are urged. An
unusually large number of cold
checks have been turned in, and
it is reported that some have been
sent through the bank so often
as to be almost worn out. The
new ruling of Lexington banks,
charging twenty-five cents for
each cold check, will probably
save these dilapidated checks.

Jan Garber, and his Columbia
recording orchestra has been
signed for the dances. Garber’s
artists were rated “the leading
dance orchestra in the country”
in the New Yorker last month.
They left the Little Club in New
York recently, and are now play-
ing and broadcasting at the Hotel
Gibson in Cincinnati. They are
on the air from station WLW at
noon from 12:30 to 1, and in the
evening from 6:30 to 7 and from
12 to 12:30.

The finance committee ends its
work this week, except for the
collection of cold checks. Next
week decorating will begin. Ex-

tPoliticians Get Busy As Time For

Annual Student Elections Nears

With the spring season in full
swing, “I’ll appreciate whatever
you can do for us,” “Be glad to—
guarantee you the house,” “——al-
ways stood behind you all” and
other such phrases are being
whispered in political ears by po-
litical lips all about the campus.

The candidates are all “hot an’
bothered,” as are also their friends
and fraternity brothers and are
preparing to tell everyone what
swell fellows they are. Louis
Powell is so far unopposed for
president of the student body,
as are Bill Plummer for vice-
president, George Ashworth for
editor of the Southern Collegian,
Roland Walker for business man-

,ager of the magazine, Gus Elias
‘for Calyx editor, and Dick Ham-
ilton for business manager.

So

ness manager of the Ring-tum.

The stage has been set for the
general elections of the student
body to be held on Thursday,
April 18. All is in readiness,
final plans have been made by the
executive committee and the larg-
est vote in the history of the
University is expected. This
large vote is doubly assured be-
cause of the close race expected

The voting will take place in
Lee Memorial chapel. The polls

Such press reports as “the be
college production ever present:
here,” and “the best troubadoi
show ever given” and “VVashing

comments of various critics
reviewing the presentation.

Collegians Go Over.

Besides the play, the Souther
Collegians who accompanied ’ th
cast, played at intervals durin
the show and as expressed by on
enthusiastic alumnus, “They to]
ped off the program.”

From a financial standpoint, th
trip was the most successful tha
has ever been staged by a uni
versity student organization, out
side of athletics. In each tov;
the troupe stayed in the best ho

combined.

In each place the advance pub-
licity sent out had stimulated in-
terest to an extent that most of
the seats in each town had been
sold before the box office opened.
The troupe played to a full house
each night. In Bristol at a
luncheon at which the Southern
Collegians played, 150 admissions
were sold before the doors open-
ed. In towns where girls’ schools
were located the student bodies
of the respective schools respond-
ed enthusiastically.

From a social standpoint, from
the reports of those who made
the trip, it could not have been
better. Dances were given at
practically every place that the
show went, besides many being
invited out to lunches and din-
ners at the various homes of
alumni an(l friends. Sullins and
Virginia Intermont colleges in
Bristol both gave dances.

May Open Other Lines.

The success of the trip is ex-
pected to assure the stability of
the Troubadours and to afford
them a foundation to build upon.
Prospects of opening up and de-
veloping other lines sponsored by
the organization, such as the Glee
club were never brighter. It is
practically assured that the Trou-
badours will be able to send the
Glee club to the choral meet at
Fredericksburg this month. The
club has already been affiliated
with national and state organi-
zations and all dues and expenses
paid out of the Troubadour treas-
ury. Next year and in the fol-
lowing years, the organization
hopes, with cooperation, to
branch out in all lines related to
dramatics and music and to plan
trips throughout the South, said
Al Collison, president of the or-
ganizations.

“From a standpoint of creating
good-will and giving publicity to
the organization and the Univer-
sity, the trip was a greater suc-
cess in this line than in any oth-
er,” added Collison. “Everywhere
the cooperation was perfect and
in every place the show appeared
numerous requests were made to
return next year,” he said. “This
has not always been the case,”
he concluded.

RESTRICTIONS

“You can’t print that. Seeing that ar-
ticle in a student paper the public will take
it as an official opinion of the college and
we can’t allow that.” This is the argument
that has been presented in preventing many
editors from printing many, articles other
than colorless lecture notes and club activ-
ities.

But should a city commission or mayor
tell a metropolitan editor this, would he
surpress legitimate news and views? The
editorials appearing in such publication
does not imitate the views of the city
government necessarily, often times the
views are directly in contrast. No one be-
lieves the paper is printing the official opin-
ions of the government and we do not be-
lieve that the average person, whether he
be student, alumnus, or citizen-at—large, be-
lieves editorial comments in student pub-
lications are the official opinions of adminis-
trations.

In past years college publications have
been greatly handicapped by too rigid fac-
ulty supervision. The papers have had a
tendency to be published by the faculty and
as a means of spreading such propaganda
as they saw fit. But the last four years
have seen a great change.

Members of the faculties all over Amer-
ica are beginning to see_ the need of student
expressions and are allowing publications
to print the views of the editors and his
subordinates as well as student opinion-at-
large, so long as this is done in a dignified
and refined way. This is only right.

The present year has found a few editors
ousted from their positions of trust because
they published some article which did not
please the administration or some faculty
member. We feel that to forbid an editor
to express his views, which are always for
what he considers best for the institution,
is making a publication fail to accomplish
its purpose and gives it no legitimate reason
for existence.

Besides the prevention from free ex-
pression of views being unfair to editors
and making publications a faculty organ, it
is openly defying the spirit of the consti-
tution of the United States which prevents
abridgement of press freedom.

If press freedom were abandoned, polit-
ical scandal would have a tendency to grow
since there would be no means of checking
it. Newspapers have done great things for
this country by being able to print freely.
If there had been rigid press regulations we
would not have our pure food law today,
for it was a New York paper that was re-
sponsible for this law by constantly exposing
fraudulently advertised foods, drugs, etc.

College publications all over the coun-
try are being endowed with greater liberty
and freedom. Today these publications are
doing more for the development of univer-
sities and colleges than ever before.

Student expressions are being allowed
to be printed, and as a result faculties and
students are growing to understand one an-
other more and more and to appreciate
each others attitudes. Bth are afforded a

1

medium of expression through the college
papers.

People realize that the opinions express-
ed in the college publications are not the
official opinions of the administration, but
the opinion of the editors and the editorial
boards who are striving to do everything
possible for the betterment of the institu-
tions. Long live the “king”—-freedom of
the press.

PROHIBITION, ITS ENFORCEMENT.

“One hundred and ninety-five lives taken
in enforcement of prohibition,” is a head-
line appearing in the Birmingham Age-Her-
ald under a Washington, D. C., date line.

Seymour Lowman, assistant secretary of
the treasury, gave out this information
last Friday afternoon. Mr. Lowman, who
is in direct charge of the dry enforcement
machine under the treasury department,
nade public statistics showing that 185 per-
ons had been killed by prohibition agents
.vhile fifty-five officers lost their lives. 7

Mr. Lowman reported that in the last
ifteen months sixteen persons had been
killed, eleven by prohibition agents and
live by coast guardsmen. In that time
,;even prohibition agents and two customs
inspectors were slain.

The eighteenth amendment to the con-
stitution has been in effect 111 months and
there has been 195 deaths. Not an enviable
record! Why the wholesale shooting when
other means might be just as effective?
It was just a little over a year ago that
prohibition agents were instructed not to
fire except in self—defense or to prevent
commission of a felony.

Despite of these instructions it seems
there is a great deal of unnecessary shoot-
ing. Only a short time ago the DeKing
affair caused wide distate for the methods
of enforcement. Such cases are frequently
arising.

The passing of the Jones bill has caused
more distaste for prohibition and its en-
forcement. What is America coming to?
Will she continue to have the wholesale mur-
dering of “prospects” as well as the real
bootlegger, when killing is not necessary?
Will there be some change in the prohibi-
tion laws, either enforcement or interpreta-
‘;ion, in the near future?

STYLES, THEY COME AND GO

It is not comfort that appeals to modern
girls, it is style. Comfort is sacrificed and
suffering is endured, solely because the fe-
male wants to be in style.

Modesty is frequently lost, just to be in
style. The physical condition is frequently
injured just to be in style. The greatest
style is to be in style, it seems.

Twenty years ago a girl would not dare
to walk down the streets of her home town,
no matter how large or small, with a dress
two inches above her knees. It just wasn’t
being done and it wasn’t modest. Wouldn’t
it be funny to see a girl, say twenty years
old, walking down Main street of Lexing-
ton with a dress one inch from the ground?
But twenty years ago it wasn’t funny.

Today women not only are wearing dress-
es above the knees but have begun to expose
themselves even more by going without
stockings entirely in many large cities.

One “old hea ” recently said, “if girls’
dresses continue to grow shorter in length
and higher in prices as they have for the
past fifteen years the next fifteen years
will be—well maybe the times will change.”
One of the latest rages is for girls to
be sun burned and wear white evening
dresses. Frequently girls are unable to tan
without blistering, so, in order that all
girls ‘be in style, chemists have prepared a
“sun burn” cream which gives the desired
appearance.

Women sacrifice everything for style.
It Wouldn’t be stylish not to be in style so
on they go, working, preparing and _think-
ing for styles’ sake.

THE RING-TUM PHI

(An Editorial).
The general student body elections this year should

be clean.

The cliquing and swapping of solid houses, which is
said and known to have existed in the past is not to be

in the political menu this

spring, according to candi-

dates who met last week to discuss the matter.
A unique meeting of candidates in the coming elec-

tion was held before any

names were posted on the

board in front of Washington College to thrash over

the problems of elections.

This meeting was arranged

by the candidates themselves, without the request or
suggestion of the executive committee, with the sole
purpose of elevating politics on our campus to a higher

plane, and of assuring the
entirely “on the level.”

At this meeting the candidates, opposed

student body of an election

and un-

opposed, entered a gentleman’s agreement not to be
parties to or to sanction in any way cliques or swap-

ping of solid houses.

Such an abolition of cliques is a forward step on our

campus. Its results should

be beneficial in many ways.

And our elections should be now placed upon a higher
plane—the plane upon which all other Washington
and Lee activities are run.

Our university is too small, too democratic, and the
personal contacts of students too intimate and friendly
to have elections contaminated and friendships broken
by secret and unfair coalitions as have been known to

exist.

In other phases of campus life students trust each
other freely, and it is believed and hoped that this
recent action by the candidates themselves should tend
to bring within the scope of our traditional trust and
frankness the one thing that in recent years has been

without-—politics.

In the calling of this meeting by the candidates them-
selves, it is hoped that a precedent has been set which
will be followed in future years, and which will effec-
tively remove from our campus election the connotation
of cliques and trading of “block” votes and the end of
distrust and ill-will after elections.

The candidates seem to realize that the stage of per-
fection in the respect that is desired to be reached can
never be attained nor maintained by the candidates
alone, but that the cooperation of the entire student

body is essential.

Perhaps the object and method may

seem idealistic and fantastical, but outsiders do not
believe that an honor system can work until he sees it
tried. On our campus the honor system works, but it
has taken whole-hearted cooperation from every student
and it will take just this to make the anti-clique move

work.

It is admittedly much easier to stand back and laugh
with the cynical idea that it will not work thanlit is to
go about and do your best to see that the plan is effec-
tive, but with the support of the student body, the
same support given other things, it not only can be ef-

fective but will be effective.

This will assure “per-

sonal liberty” in voting, clean politics, clean campaigns,
and honest elections, with the best man winning.

A GRATEFUL SURGEON.

Men and women are always
ready to summon the best that
medicine can offer when they feel
ill. I have observed that when
their health is restored doctor’s
bills seem an affront. That is
not fair. Still, if you are on the
verge of expiring of acute ap-
pendicitis, you forget your bank
account. A clerk in a bookshop
in Springfield was recently taken
ill and brought to this city for
treatment. He was seriously ill
and nothing was spared by his
devoted wife and sister to keep
him alive. The hospital bills
they were able to pay. The sur-
geon’s fee they dreaded. This
man told me himself that the
surgeon asked him once in a cas-
ual tone what was his occupation.
The patient said frankly that he
had sold books for 23 years. The
surgeon smiled, ordered a bottle
of sal hepatica and walked out.
The following month when at
home the clerk received this note.
and with it a receipted bill for
services, “Dear Mr. X,” wrote
the surgeon, “I have been asked
many times to moderate my bills
sent to clergyman and their wi-
dows, school teachers, stenograph-
ers and fathers of large families.‘
But I feel deeply indebted to a

man like yourself. For on the
few occasions when we had 10
minutes’ chat you told me about
a lot of very good books, especial-
ly mystery stories. I cannot
charge you a cent for the opera-
tion. Don’t worry, I shall get my
money back from the millionaires.
It was a real pleasure to talk
to a man who knows books.”-—

ton Transcript.

A SIGN OF SPRING

The fuzzy pussy willow has re-
appeared and we may safely feel
that Spring is just around the
corner again. It is one of the
first of our foliage-bearing plants
to awaken and betoken the pass-
ing of Winter. It is, however, not
an unfailing forecaster, for at
times it has found its advent
preceded by a snowstorm and
much cold weather, but there is
a feeling of assurance that the
worst of the cold season is be-
hind us. Sprays from the parent
tree long survive separation -from
their stem. They live for days and
days and offer their cheering as-
surance that nature is awakening
from its Winter repose and will
soon again burst forth into green
and color and fragrance.—Wil-
mington Every Evening.

THE MEXICAN revolution is
apparently on its last legs—and
they seem to be wooden. Iron-
man Calles, the anti-Christ, whose
sinister personality the rebels
claim is shining through the ad-
ministration of Portes Gil, ap-
pears to have been victorious,
although both sides probably
claim the upper hand. American
planes and troops still guard the
border.

THE MEXICANS ought to
hold an arbitration court after
each battle to see who wins.
Still, these Latin-American rev-
olutjons are no joke, even in the
small Central American countries.
Ask the marines. Historians and
authorities on racial matters state
that revolutions in Latin-America
have so depleted the ruling nordic
stock—the Spanish aristocracy-
that many of the smaller coun-
tries have fallen under perilous
rule of mestizo (Spanish and In-
bulatto, and zambo (In-
dian and negro). Ethnologists see
only one hope for these coun-
tries—a wholesale nordic immi-
gration. That's a chance for the
college-trained man. Might be a
good thing to teach the natives
football so they Wouldn’t have
energy left to revolt. ’

TOM HEFLIN, JR.,. son of the
Alabama senator, is apparently
attacking the demon rum from
another angle than his esteemed
father, the anti-Pope, anti-rum,
anti-whatnot. Tom, Jr., age 29,

board the liner Ancon, from Co-
lon, in the Canal Zone, after his
reeling around on deck had at-
tracted reporters and photograph-
ers. Friend locked him in his
stateroom.

TOM, JR., told reporters he
was rounding out a li’l party
which started in Colon. He
wanted to call on Al Smith, but
Senator Connally restrained him
and packed him off for Washing-
ton. Sounds like another one of
these awful moral turpitude cases
that nice people have been hear-
ing so much about.

‘ SOME INTERESTING fish are
described in the California Fish
and Game Commission’s publica-
tion issued recently. ’The small-
est known fish is the tiny Goby
of Philippine waters. Average
adult length is about one—half
inch. The largest known fish is
not the whale, but the Basking
shark of sub-Arctic waters, and
the Carchadon, of the tropic wa-
ters of Australia and New Zea-
land. They reach a length of
forty-five feet.

Then there is the King Herring,
or Regalecus, of Northern Eu-
rope, which may be twenty-five
feet long, one foot high, and four
inches wide and belongs on the
ribbon sale bargain counter. Also
the Vampire Ray of the West
Indies reaches the freak class with
a wing spread of twenty—five feet.
Many an airplane is flying on
less. Then there are the canni-
bal fish of the Amazon, and the
walking fish of India. What will
the 1930 model be? Maybe they

Princeton Downs Virginia
Twice After Losing
To Generals.

Tomorrow afternoon the Wa-

hoos of.Virginia will invade Wil-
son field to engage Dick Smith’s
not—too—steady baseball team. Sat-
urday the Virginia diamond rep-
resentatives were helpless before
the slants of “Lefty” Williams,
ace of the V. M. I. mound corps,
and lost a hard battle to the Key-
dets at Charlottesville while the
Generals were taking Delaware
into camp here.

On comparative scores the Gen-
erals are the better team. Com-
parative scores, however, mean
little when the state of Virginia’s
two bitterest rivals clash. Wash-
ington and Lee beat Princeton
3-2. The next two days the Ti-
gers beat Virginia twice’ without
being extended -in either contest.-
Cornell broke even with the Wa-
hoos, and Williams played a 4-4
tie with Charlottesville team.

Since the Princeton game Dick
Smith and his proteges made a
trip into -North Carolinanwhere
the results showed little pretense
for superiority on the part of the
Generals over any ball team. With
this in mind and the partial re-
turn to form in the contest with
the University of Delaware, the
result of tomorrow’s game here
shoul(l be a toss—up.

Millen May Pitch.

Millen, Virginia’s star basket-

and in his first appearance on
the mound turned in a two-hit
performance. As the result of
this contest he may start against

Tech To Adopt
Quarter System
Plan Of Paper

According to the “Technique,”
Georgia Tech is considering the
adoption of the quarter system
employed by Emory and other
leading colleges in place ofitheir
present system of two semesters.

The advantages to be derived
from the system of dividing the
school year into three quarters
with the fourth quarter as the
summer session are set forth by
'l‘ech’s weekly as follows, and
may be of interest to Emory stu-
dents: '

To the student: (1) fewer
courses at a time; (2) less time
over which to carry details in
mind; (3) less work piled up at
the end of the term; (4) repeated
courses meaning only three
months instead of semester; (5)
more carefree Christmas holidays,
since the fall exams come in the
middle of December; (6) inter-
val of vacation in March, after
the second quarter exams;_ (7)
greater interest in each subject,
due to fewer courses on schedule
and less time in which to carry
them.

To the professor: (1) fewer
monthly quizzes; (2)_-.e.xams:,;which
test a student before, he is rusty
on any part ofthe subject; (3)
less cramming in._evidence before
examinations;  more time de-
voted by students‘ to each subject.

Close Declared
Ineligible For
Cavalier Teams

Lefty Close, outstanding star
for the University of Virginia in
baseball and track during the last

two years, has ended his athletic
career with the Cavaliers.

Oscar T. Close, of Shamrock,
Texas, as he is registered at the
university, has completed the five-
year period of athletic participa-
tion that is permitted under the
rules of the Southern conference.
He will complete this season at
Virginia and he expects to carry
on his studies next year, but he
will not be able to wear the
Orange and Blue upon either grid-
iron or diamond.

During the spring of 1924 Close
registered as a freshman at the
University of Texas. He remain-
ed at that school only a short
time and played on no teams.
Later he attended Davis and El-
kins college, where he won ath-
letic prominence, but as that
school had not come under the
Southern conference classification
asof collegiate rank he was eli-
gible to play on teams at Vir-
yinia until thet end of the fifth
zear from the time he first ma-
triculated in Texas.

Moffett And Gamble Prep
Men For Races.

With the prevailing

weather of. the past week each

warm

afternoon has seen the squads of
the Albert Sidney and Harry Lee
boat crews working out earnest-
ly on North river in preparation
for Washington and Lee’s annual
varsity and freshman boat races
/luring Final week.

With large numbers repjorting
daily during the few days of
practice and with the number
decreasing as the sessions went
on both captains of the crews
have cut their squads almost in
half and only themost promising
men have been kept on the squal
to train. Captain Rod Motfett
of the Harry Lee crew has finally
"Ht" his squad down to about
thirty-seven men, while Captain
Gamble of the Albert Sidney crew
has his squad to about the same
number.

The squads this year are lack-
ing the men of experience which
have reported in former years
and it is necessary to spend con-
siderable time in instruction and
training. Many of last year’s
freshman crew members are on
hand and it looks as though they
will be the members of the var-
sity crews of this year.

The Albert Sidney crew have
already put their shell on the
water since the tub which they
had been working in during early
workouts, has been damaged and
had to be repaired. The Harry
Lee crew are still working out
with the tubibut as soon as the
men have begun to get in better
shape Captain Moffett expects to
get them to work in the shell.

Mount And Radford Pitch
Well As Generals Down
Invaders Here.

By J. Madison Dean.
Returning to their home field,
Gene White and his cohorts
showed a complete reversal of
form to that which they display-
ed on the North Carolina trip
and, under the fine exhibition of
pitching by Mount and Radford,
vanquished the University of
Delaware last Saturday, 9-5.
Mount in his first appearance as
the starting hurler displayed as
much stuff as any tosser who
has decorated the mound here
this year, but wildness caused
him to be removed for Radford.

The first eight men to face
Mount were retired in order but
Garrett, the ninth man, was hit
with the ball, only to be left
stranded when Mount and Wil-
liams disposed of Shelladay.
Garrett got by the first inning
safely, but allowed four runs to
cross the plate in‘ the second be-
fore the Generals could be re-
tired. Faulkner started the pro-
ceedings by getting a single to
center. Hanna moved Johnny to
second with another single.
White forced Faulkner at third.
Garrett threw out Smith, Hanna
and White advancing. Hanna
scored the first tally of the game
on ‘Smith’s passed ball. Mount
drew a pass and Jacob came
through with the second home
run made by a General this year
with a long drive to right, scoring
White and Mount ahead of him.
Lowdon walked, but Slanker went
out via Roman to Jacquette.
After pitching hitless ball for
four innings, Mount weakened in
the fifth and allowed two runs to
score due to an inability to lo-
cate the plate. Roman flied to
White to start off. Jacquette
walked. Mount had been pitch-
ing too fast in the preceding in-
nings and it was beginning to
show on him. Smith g0t 3 free
ticket to first when Mount’s wild-,
ness continued. Mount threw
out Garrett, but Shelladay 8013
the first hit of the day off the
General hurler, a single to right
scoring Jacquette and Smith.
Mount threw out Hill to end the
inning.

Washington and Lee matched
the two runs of the Blue and
Gold with a pair in their half of
the fifth. Slanker; first man up

To Whip Delaware Univ._. 9 to 5

in the sixth, singled to center.
Williams tripled to left, scoring
Slanker. doubled to

center, scoring Williams, but was
out trying to stretch the smash
into a triple. Hill, a right-hand-
er, replaced Garrett, a southpaw,
at this juncture of the game.
Hanna was Hill’s first victim on
strikes. Hill and Jacquette dis-
posed of White.

In the sixth three Generals
crossed the plate and ended the
General scoring for the after-
noon. Smith, first up, fanned.
Mount walked and Jacob also re-
ceived a charity ticket. Wright
struck out. Slanker’s hit to right
was just deflected by Glasser on
the dead run and the ball fell
for a double, Jacob following
Mount across the plate. VVilliams
hit just back of third for a sin-
gle and Slanker held his bag.
but Williams was almost to third
before he saw Slanker on the
“hot corner” bag. The whole
Delaware team became embroiled
in a mix-up trying to run down
either Williams or Slanker. Fin-
ally a wild heave allowed Slanker
to score and Williams to reach
third. Shelladay threw out Rich-
ardson.

Delaware scored twice in the
seventh. Jacquette singled to
center. Skura, batting for Smith,
got a single to right when Wright
misjudged his fly. Shelladay hit
to Jacob, who fumbled and then
threw wild to first, Jacquette
scoring. Hill also singled to al-
low Skura to cross the’ plate.
Radford went in for Mount at
this stage. Glasser struck out and
Snowberger flied to center to end
Delaware’s hopes for a victory.
In the eighth Taliaferro donned
the mask when Hanna dropped
Taylor’s third strike and then
failed to get him at first. Smith
made a nice stop of Roman’s
smash and threw him out, Taylor
going to second. Smith threw
out Jacquette and Williams’ throw
to Taliaferro beat Taylor when
the latter tried to score from
second.

F rosh Trackmen
Lose First Meet
By Twelve Points

It wasn’t Eli Finklestein’s fault
that the Little Generals lost their
initial track meet to Staunton
Military Academy last Saturday
at Staunton by a 64 to 52 score.
This former all-Florida sprint and
hurdle interscholastic champion
took first in the century, 220, low-
hurdles, and second in the broad
jump to collect eighteen points.

While the cadets presented a
more balanced team, to gain nine
of thirteen first places the Blue
and White kept within striking
distance of victory until the last
event when it was necessary to
pile up all three places in the pole
vault to win. Staunton with over
half a dozen vaulters managed to
place first and third.

Exceptional strength was exhib-
ited in the sprint department when
Finklestein and Ade took both
first and second in the two dash-
es. Finklestein’s first in the low
hurdles and Broderick’s victory
in the half completed Washington
and Lee’s total, of firsts. Fletcher’s
team had to be content with thirds
in the mile, 440, and high jump
when Staunton placed two men
ahead of the Generals’ best in
these events.

more strongly in the negative
while fifteen were of the same
opinion still. Five of these, how-
felt that the affirmative
team, Princeton, did the better
debating. Examination of the
above shows that of thirty-six
to the question, the
Princeton team converted six
while Washington and Lee con-

ever,

opponents

verted four out of twenty-three.

()f the twenty-three people
agreeing with the Princeton team
before the debate, eight believed
even more firmly, while of the
thirty-six people in favor of the
Washington and Lee side only
ten believed more strongly. In
this respect, the Princeton team
cemented more of its followers
than did.the Washington and Lee
team.

Of its twenty-three followers,
Princeton kept eighteen, while
VVashington and Lee maintained
twenty-five of its thirty-six.

the coming year. Each of the
competing men will receive a
complimentary copy. The debate
was half an hour late in starting
and was over at 9:30. It was
scheduled to begin at 7:30.

The Washington and Lee team
will travel to Princeton next year,
as the debate is to be held on a
home and home basis. Prince-
ton debated Virginia last night,
concluding .a ten-day trip.

Kreder who was the first speak-
er for Princeton, extended thanks
on the part of the team for the

hospitality shown them, and stat-
ed that it was a pleasure for
them to be here. Ellard in his
introductory speech made mention
of the fact that Washington and
Lee is bound to Princeton by the
fact that some of our founders
were graduates of the New Jersey
institution.

Bauer Is Aid.

There has been more interest
shown in debate this year than
ever before and the success of
the teams has been very satisfy-
ing, say those connected. The
trip to Chicago‘ was the longest
ever taken by a Washington and
Lee team. It was on this trip
that the debaters won their first
radio debate which was with Chi-
cago Kent School of Law. Ohio
Wesleyan and Miami were also
met on this trip which was made
by H. M. Platt, D. N. Conn, and
W. A. Plummer. The debate
Monday night with Princeton was
the only local appearance. This
was in accordance with a new
policy adopted by the Debating
Council to havepfewer home de-
bates but to meet teams of bet-
ter standing. The debate with
Oxford last year and the Prince-
ton debate of this year were
chosen by the University Debat-
ers’ Annual for publication. That
the same college would have de-
bates included in this book for
two consecutive years is consid-
ered unusual and shows the in-
creased prestige of local teams.

Twenty men have been working
out with the squad all year.

Plummer was chosen to be man-

ager of the team at the first
meeting. The debating squad
says much-of the credit for the
success of the teams in the past
two years is due Professor Bauer.
Mr. Bauer has taken an,excep-
tional interest in debate since
he came here and the success
of the teams since then is largely
due him.

yearling nine came back in their
half and scored six runs to give
them a winning majority. Allen,
of the visitors, had been pitching
excellent ball until this inning
when Tignor started the fire-
works by getting a pretty single,
Smith then drew a walk, and Rou-
ton beat out an attempted sac-

with none out.. Cross was thrown
out. Martin then came through
with a beautiful double into left

Four more runs came in when

Denver, where he was student as-
sistant in speech for the four
years that he was an under-
graduate. It was there that he
became interested in debate and
was on the school’s intercollegi-
ate debate teams for four years,
in addition to being manager of
them. Upon graduation he won
a scholarship to Cornell where
he studied for two years and re-
ceived his M. A. While at Cor-
nell he was also an instructor
in public speaking. From there
he went to Iowa State college, at
Ames, Iowa. He was there for
three years, and directed debat-
ing and dramatic activities. He
came here in 1927 to head the
department of public speaking.

Smith pitched airtight ball and
they were unable to tally in this
inning or the final inning al-
though they were successful in
placing two men on bases in the
ninth.

The Alderson team scored in
the second inning and again in
the fifth, but were unable to
solve the offerings of Smith, who
went in for Rowland in the sixth.
The visitors garnered five hits
during the fray while five errors
were charged to them. The Blue
and White team connected safely
for eight hits with three errors.
The yearling nine had men on
first and second bases in the sec-
ond inning but were unable to
convert them into runs mainly
through the fast fielding of the
visitors in that period.

Norman with two singles was
the leader of attack for the visi-

doubles and two walks in four
