XVIII BY THE STUDENTS AND FOR THE STUDENTS WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 23, 1915 TTTRVHEELS DEFEATED BYGENERALS INFIELD AND OUTFIELD CANDIDATES IN LAST BATTLE OF LOCAL SEASON, One of the Best Games of the Year — Comparatively Few Fouls Making their farewell appearance on the local court for the 1915 season, the Generals defeated the University of North Carolina 29 to 22 last Tuesday. The contest was one of the best all round basketball games ever seen in Lexington, being fast, clean and free from fouling. The ’varsity’s floor work outclassed their; opponents and was decidedly the best] that it has shown this season. I During the first half it was not evident which quint was the better. The battle Was hotly waged during the whole period, neither side gain- ing the advantage and keeping it for any length of time. It ended with the honors to the White and Blue by only one point. The second half was repleat with difficult shots and bril- lant floorwok, the Generals, however coming out decidedly the better. Davis and Johnson were the stars for the visitors. while Young and Zaiss upheld the Generals‘ interests the most valianty. This was the fare- well appearance of Captain Miles on the home court. The big center is nearing the close of his remarkable athletic career for W. and L. and will make his final appearance as a White and Blue basketer in the game with the Army on next Saturday. The Carolinians opened the first period when Long tossed a goal after Seeley’s foul. The Generals ' retali- ated When Miles shot the ball to Young who dropped in a dicfliult overhand toss from an angle. Long was caught blicking, but Miles fail- ed to score the free toss. Young took the opportunty to add another two prints when the ball rebounded int) his hands from the backboard. The oval next went from Seeley to Eierotti to Zaiss who dropped it in from under the ring Z"-iisa shortly tossed 8.l”l()ll"|_’1‘ in the net. The visitors got their first field goal when Long shot the ball to Tandy for an easy basket. Long fouled by holding but Miles again failed to score. Davis followed with an easy goal from the side. Pierot— ti held and Long scored another foul point. Tandy blocked and Miles again did not score. Long scored another free toss when Seeley was caught holding. Young annexed another basket under the net. Davis retaliated for North Carolina when he dropped in an easy basket. The half ended when Miles failed to score after a foul committed against‘ Young by Tennant and Johnson to- gether. The points stood 10 to 9 in Washington and Lea’s favor. Tandy reopened the fray when he drihbled down under the basket and markable Showing in Pole Battling against big handicap and ill luck Washington and Lee came off with only six points in the track meet held in Baltimore Saturday Jnder the auspices of Johns Hopkins University. 'lhe meet went to the hosts by virtue of their being able to make more entries than any other contestant. W. and L. entered only six events, and came off with first place in the open pole vault and third place in the South Atlantic 220 yard dash. In South Atlantic events Georgetown was the leader, ,with a register of sixteen points; Virginia second, with fourteen; George Wash- ington, third with five: and W. and L. fourth, with one. Georgetown is thus placed in the lead in the race for South Atlantic honors. How- ever, no championship is to be officially awarded since Virginia will ‘not enter the Georgetown meet to jie ‘held in Washington next Sate.

The Blue and White vaulter won without his handicap, though he was credited with 8 inches rnore:thau his actual flight of 11 feet 33-4inches. Tappan’s handicap was 14 inches. Hallman was pitted against three of the University of Pennsylvania’s crack pole men and one of Georgetown’s all of whom were chosen favorites. Tappan of Johns Hopkins came second and Sewell of Pennsylvania third. One hour and a half was re- quired to get a decision in this ‘event. In this accomplishment Hall- ‘man has set a new mark for the in- doorpole vault in the South. The White and Blue's other point ,',yVas coralled by F. G.

L. Robertson, spoke on "John Randolph of Ron- noke." The debate for the evening was, Resolved, “That three fourths of a jury should be competent to render a decision in criminal cases.” The argument was very spirited and many technical points were made by both sides. The atiirmative was upheld by J. W. May and M. S. Cannon against D. S. Noble and M. L. Masinter for the negative The judges, G. B. Lampton, R. C. Cole, and Homer Powell decided unani- mously in favor of the negative. The extempornneous speaker of the evening, M B.

Navy's stalwart five ldowned ‘the Generals in a one sided [battle 50 to 14. The Middies sesam- ed the lead and maintained it throughout the battle. In the first half, Miles was nisqua‘-ified, while Young, followed him in the second half. With victory assured, the Navy gave the substitutes an oppor» lturiity to battle against the Generals. Bailey at forward, entered the game when Miles disquailtied and starred on the offensive, while Pierotti Was a mainstay on the defense. Smith, Adams, Overesch and Calhoun play- ed strongly for the Middies. The Generals left this afternoon .for Easton, Pennsylvania, where :they will play Swarthmore tonight. Lehigh will be met VVediaesday,while New York University will be encoun tered on Thursday.

NEW CATALOGUE our The new university catalogue rived Saturday rom the printers’ is soon to be placed in the hands the prospective students of Wash- ington and Lee. The book is the result of the efiforts of Dr. Walter Le Conte Stevens Professor of Phy- sics. It is particularly noticeable for the completeness and conciseness of its arrangement. It offers plain facts about the University and seems to contain absolutely no superfluous matter. Dr. Stevens has given the maximum amount of information in minimum amount of space, which cannot be said about a great many college and university catalogues. 31‘ and bulletin of the Law School. J.

CHANGE IR IS HIGHLY PROBABLE [ Ileretofore in the Law School more lstress has been laid upon the two year feature of its course with the option lot‘ obtaining a degree in three years if so desired. It is an open fact in faculty circles that for some time there have been advocates among ,them who have deemed unwise advis- ‘ing the emliroyo lawyers to obtain their degrees in two sessions. It is thought that in three years a law lstudent can more fully prepare him- self for his future practice. This ichange is to be discussed; and it may be that the forth coming bulletin of the Law School will place the im- porlance upon a three law course irather than a two year one.

E. Worth Wins 0rat0r’s Medal---l J .C.Rives Takes Debater’s I ---Negative Wins The 103rd intermediate celebration of the Washington Literary Society was held in the Chapel last night.An unusually large crowd was present, probably due to the interest in the subject for discussion. The celebration was opened by the address of welcome bv the President of the occasion, T. McP. Glasgow. After calling attention to the glor- ious career of the Society during the one hundred and three years of its existence, he reminded his audience that such men as Senator Owen of Oklahoma, Justice Lamar of the Su- preme Court, and Thomas Nelson Page had once been members of the Washington. Mr. Glasgow patien- larly emphasized the fighting spirit and tenacity of the members of the society. The first orator of the evening, C. E. Worth, was then introduced. Mr. Worth had for his subject, “A Call to the Age.” In his speech he pled for efficiency, and voiced the hope that efficiem-y would bring about the end of the present war. He compar- ed the old system with the new, and told of the astounding conditions which exist in our large cities among the laboring classes. The second orator, C. C. Cham- oers, had for his subject, “Patriot- ism.” His speech was very rich in historical allusion to famous Amer- icans. He quoted a few of the patriotic and inspiring sayings of several of the foremost patriots in the past history of this country. ‘ Ir. all, his oration was well worded and delivered, but lacked the force, which so characterized the speech of his predecessor. The debate for the evening was, “That the Constitution of the United States should be so amended as-to give men and women equal suffrage." The affirmative was upheld by J. C. Rivers and J. D. McCready against A, L. Bennett and D. A. Falk for the negative. J. C. Rivers, the first speaker of the affirmative, develived the augu- ment that suffrage was the natural right of woman, that by the consti- tution of the United States it was her constitutional right, and third‘ that it was her propeity right. A. I.. Bennett the first speaker of. the negative showed that a nationall ainendineiit was unnecessary becausel any state could get woman suffragel if they wanted it. He next. auguedl that that woman suffrage as a state‘ and not a natitnal issue and that if; an amendment should be made to the: Federal constitution it would be inl violation of state riglits. J. D. McCread_v second speaker‘ for the afiirmative showed that wom-- an suffrage is expedient for threel reasons: first women are well quali- flea for the ballot; second woman suffrage will make better laws ;third, ‘ that it is rapidly growing in favor. : The debate was closed by D. A.l Falk for the negative who besides claiming that it was detrimental to the country advanced the argument that it was not desired by tlze Wom- en themselves. The judges were Messrs. Frank Moore, Otho Jackson and H.Waddell. Mr. Moore rendered the decisions of the judges, giving the orator’s medal to C. E. Worth, the debator’s medal to J. C. Rivers, and decided in fav- or of the negative side. The officers of the occasion were . a sumptuous banquet was held. , C. Hicks. T. McP. E S as follows: President, Glasgow; Vice President.

Music was furnished by the Wash- ington and Lee band. After the celebration the members repaired to the Morris House Where T. McP. Glasgow acted as toastmaster and the following members respond- ed to toasts: M. L. Masinter, W. C.‘ Little, C. C. Chambers, E. S.Smith, R. G. Hundley, R. C. Cole, D. A. Falk, C. E Wotrh, S. L.

The Uni- versity annual—“Ole Miss”-will be dedicated this year to Dr. Riley, who resigned his professorship of History at the University of Mississippi to accept the chair made vacant by Dr. John H. Latarte at Washington and Lee in 1913. It is considered a rare custom for a university year book to be dedicat- ed to a professor who is no longer connected with a college. ..
