A five months residence rule forl migratory athletes has been adop'ed, I while the scholastic requirements for participation on any ’Varsity team A have been made more stringent. The new code or rules, which werei adopted some time ago by the Facul- i ty, will appear for the first time in, the University Catalogue, which will be distributed generally soon. The rules have been slightly mod- ified in phraseology, but, excepting, these two features, are virtually thel same in nature as those previouslyzinl force. The change in wording in some of the rules was for the pur pose of making clear their exact meaning, as some of them have been misconstrued in the past. The an- nouncement that the residence rule has been adopted is not expected to create any surprise, as it was gener-[ ally understood that it was but nat-Q ural that such legislation should bel adopted. _ The residence rule wiil apply toi athetes, who have won Varsity mun-1 ograms at other institutions oflearn-l ing. They will be ineligible to participate in any ’Varsity sport un-I til they have been registered in col-l lege for five months. The rule, a adopted, reads: 1 The Residence Rule ‘ I “No student who has won his, ‘Varsity athletic insignia as a mem- ber of football, baseball, haskethallw or track term, of another college; which has as many as 150 male stud-l ents of collegiate grade recorded in‘ its catalo ue for the previous year. 1‘ and which is designated as such by 3 the United States Bureau of Educa—' tion in its latest. annual report, and no slufent who his played the equiva- lent of a fifteen minute quarter in any football game, or who has played four full innings in any baseball game, considered as championship contests by the athletic authorities of the colleges which he represented in these contests, shall be eligible to represent this universitv in those branches of intercollegiate sport in which he has won his ’varsity in- signia, or in which he has qualified in football or basketball, Until he has been a student in this universitg; in satisfactory standing for at ‘ five months. A championship con test shall be construed to mean one which is taken into consideration in . awarding ‘Varsity insignia ” The eligibility rules, as concern the scholastic requirements, are—~ that no student can take less than 12 hours of class work in the acad- emic schools or less than 9 in the law school and be eligible; that he cannot represent the University in leas.

Eric Hallman was second in point scoring. Despite the fact that he was incapicated with a battered ankle, Hallman captured the open vault handily with a Winning vaultof 11 feet 6 inches. He was given a handicap of one foot. In the S. A. I. A. A. pole vault event, Hallman was tied for first place by Jack Ster- rett, of G. W. U.

In the 12 pound shot put, Shultz with ahandicap of 7 feet, finished second while George Kerr, with a similar handicap, won third place. No other college entrant placed in this event.

George- town ranked next to Washington and Lee in collegiate entrants, with 11 1-2‘points, while Catholic University and_Virginia followed with a total of 8 points. J, B.

By this rule, the athlete must have passing grades in half of his studies or be ineligible to participate in any form purpose of L0‘ ' ‘the George of athletics during the next term.

In the final session, the Generals managed to register 23 points, while the Aggies were held in check to 15 tallies. Man for man, Wasliingtonand Lee outbattled the ifiarolinians.

The affair has begun to assume a serious aspect and unless precauiionary measures are taken at once, bids fair to become alarming. About two weeks ago one of the students became possessed of the knowledge that he was afflicted with pink eye, probably due to over study, and immediately adorned himself with large tortoise rimmed goggles. As soon as the news spread abroad that he had been excused from all classes, there were many others who began to feel a burning sensation about the eyes, which no doubt de- veloped from a bmniog desire to share the woes"of their fellow stu- dent. The local stock of huge smoked glasses was soon exhausted and it was hoped that the tide of disaster had been stemmed; but on the arrival of a new supply the epi- demic broke out afresh, and many recruits have been added to the ranks of “those with the classic look.” As yet no steps have been taken towards stamping out the disease, but it is rumored that the Univer- sity authorities have instructed the Committee on Sanitation (0 purchase the remaining pink eye accessories from the local opticians and to pre- vent a renewal of the stock. How- ever the question still remains as how best to set a limit to the exist- ing cases. Thrse who have been affected with the ocular malady are: Dick Bryant, James Crntrell, McCue Marshall, A D. Manning, J. P. Macatee, George Ward, Bill Phillips, Lewis Collins, Pat Clemmer, K. A. Wellans, J. M. Schmoele, A. W. Mann and J.C.Powell.

Gilliam, and W. M. Marshall. For Art work the Calyx is indebted to G. Platt, F. H. Gilbreath. H. C. Fisher, A. G. McKinnon, J. E. Mar- tin, W. Houston Barclay, and John A. Graham, who have supplied most of the drawings for the book. The Contrarts signed by the Calyx management, for which it is liable, amount to upwards of two thousand. three hundred dollars. Of this amount fourteen and fifteen hundred will go to the Brown—Morrison Com- pany of Lynchburg, V-a., for print- ing and binding‘ the book ;about eight hundred dollars will be the amountl of the bill for half tones and other‘ engravings done by the ltlectric City Engraving Company of Buli'alo,while over a hundred dollars will be paid the E. A. Wright Co. of Philadel- phia for special steel engraving. In addition to this the general ex- penses incident to editing the book will have to be added to these con- tracts to determine the total cost. At present writing, the management; estimates that if every senior, club, fraternity, etc., pays its representa- tion, the book will Ie able to ‘pay for itself. W. & L.

Since 1910 he has devoted himself entirely to producing and staging pieces. In Pittsburg Mr.- Braddock had charge of the Dickens: Festival Celebration. Here he will he l.l active charge of the produc- tion of “The Student's Wedding” and will make his own selection of the cast. The cast will not be recruited en- tirel_v from the members of the Washington and Lee Dramatic Club. There are numerous feminine parts in the production and these will be assumed by Miss Eutha Young, Missl Virginia Barclay, Miss Mary Champe. Miss Evelyn Champ, Miss Sophy Graham, Miss Nancy Pendle- tun,Miss Virginia Moqe. Miss Annie White, Mrs. D. Shultz and Mrs. H. ‘B. Schermerhoru. The dramatic talent supplied by Washington and Lee will be recruit- ed from this material, it being evi- dent that men who have won distinc- tion on the gridiron and the diamond are not afraid to show what they can do on the stage: “Jiggs” Donahue, Bill Raftery, Eddie Parks Davis, “Cy” Young, Ted Shultz, “Moose” Scarry, “Gus” Hastings, Lynch- Christian, Dick Bryant, Reuben A. Lewis, Lyon Brandon, Pat Ander- son, Stuart Moore, A..M Birdsall and J’. H. Sorralls. As to the Play, “The Student’s Wedding,” it would require much more space than is here allotted to make anything like a detail reference of the many amusing incidents and situations which follow one another through the entire progress.
