XVIII éiiiitiiic mm AND Reported Vigilance Committee Causes Stir~Streets to Clear Tonight Quaking boots and shaking knees have been much in evidence among the ranks of the Freshmen since Sat- urday night. Dame rumor has it that a corps of upper classmen have, organized and expect to find no Freshmen on the streets of Lexing- ton after eight o'clock tonight. Since the “good old days” of 1912 nothing has so stirred the campus as the report that the upper classmen, hav- ing realized the inefficiency of the once mighty “Vigilance Committee” and having been goaded to distraction by the astounding freshness of some of the members of the first year classes in both the academic and law schools,have decided to take the mat- ter up themselves and to substitute the more strenuous methods of other days for the moral lectures in vogue oi late. The discussion of the report was evident all day yesterday and this morning. Knots of freshmen were observed engaging in speculation over the matter. While some were argu- ing in favor of resistance by far the greatest number seemed to be of t.'.i:=, opinion that eight o'clock would lino them off the quiet lanes of tfin. The personnel of the committee of upper classinen could not he definitely determined, but it was learned that among them were several of the lead- ing men in college. Perhaps one of the mightiest advocates of the plan wag 3 celebrity of immense avoird- upois, who added a great deal of moral weight to the movement. There are men of both schools, who are interested in the work of this committee, who feel that some ile- cirind action should be taken to reme- dy the existing cmrlitions. “Matters have come to a crisis, " said one merriht-r of the committee, “/.ll.d I think, for the good of the school, that some action should be taken. I have been a member of the student body for several years, but I have never seen such O1ll’S}’lOl{E‘,n freshness among the first year Evidently some of them feel that they will graduate in June. I would nut be surprised if they do not con sole each other because they have not made all the ribbon societies. Tlicy seem to have very little regard for the opinion of the upper classmen and are wrapped up in themselves entire .V Lexing- men. “It is our duty to teach a fresh man his place. While we do not feel that a Freshman should be os- tracized or humiliated, we feel that he should have respect for those who have moulded the various institutions and customs of college. The fact that he occupies a place of promi- nence among his classmates does not figure in the slightest. He must realize above all that he is a Fresh- man.

The manner in which the hitters have been wallop_ ing the horsehide during the practice season and in the practice game has: dispelled all doubt that fast fielding and tight pitching must be resorted to, if Washington and Lee is victor- ious.

Jonah Larrick has blossomed forth in the role of a track coach at the University of Alabama Announce- ment has been made that the Athletic‘ council has efieced an arrangement whereby he is to have charge of the Alabama track squad. At the Uni versity, he has been acting as gen- eral secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and is reported to have made quite a succe s of his work. Track, at Alabama. is considered a minor sport and the same interest that is manifested in football and baseball, is lacking. However, it is gradually being developed into a line of greater effort. Larrick was an all around athlete here. He was a star pole vaulter on the track team, pitcher on the 1913 baseball team. and captain of the gymnasium squad The Crimson~White said: “Jonah Larrick, secretary of the University Young Men's Christian Association, has taken charge of the track team and will serve as coach during the remainder of the year, arrangements to this effect having been made by the athletic committee. Larrick is the logical man for the place, having had ample experience in this branch "f sports at Washing- ton and Lee. While at Washington and '1ee he not only was a member of the track team but also of the base» ball and gymnasium squads as well. “Since coming to Alabama to take charge of the school Y. M. C. A. Larrick has become ouite popular with the student body and it is be lieved that through his personality he will create much interest in track and field athletics.” WILL GO TO WEST POINT Eldon P. King, who has been a member of the Junior law Class since Jan 1st, left Saturday night for Washington where he will take the physical examination for the United States Military Academy at West Point. Mr. King will return here this week to take the exarnintions for his term’s work here and will enter the army college in June. He is pledged to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and also to Delta Theta Phi legal i'I'aternity and will be miss- ed by the nlafiy friends he has made during his short enrollment as a student here. “I3” CLUB INITIATES The Thirteen Club held its annual initiation on the Thirteenth.
