BASEBALL SCHEDULE
IS BEING APRANGED

W. F. Barron Elected Manager of
Team—Schedule to Include
Many Home Games With Col-
leges in Section.

The Athletic Council has recently
decided to carry out a full baseball
schedule for this year and has elected
W. F. Barron of Rome, Ga., manager
of the team. A very representative
schedule is being arranged by Coach
Raftery and Manager Barron and this
will include all of the colleges and
Iniversities in this section with a large
number of home games,

Coach Raftery faces a Very diffi-
cult situation with only three old men
These are T. S.
Jones, who played third base in 1916
and 1917, G. G. Gregg, who covered
the outfield during these years and S.
M. Graham, who pitched in 1915-1916
and 1917. With these men as a nu-
cleus and the abundance of new ma-
terial which is available from the stu-
dent body there is no doubt that Coach
Raftery will turn out a very creditable
team as he has done in the past.

Wilson Field is now being rolled and
put in shape and soon it will be in ex-
Practice will start

RING-TUM—PHI

DR. HOWERTON TELLS or
COLLEGE EXPERIENCE

Speaker Relates Instances of
Young Men Who Entered Col-
lege. With Clean Lives, But
'I‘hrough‘In'ﬂuence of Base Men
Were.‘ Wrecked.

Dr Howerton again held the atten-
tion of his. audience throughout his
entire talk last Tuesday night when
he spoke in the Y. This time he took
no text, but said he would give some
"suggestions growing out of his experi-
ence as a student and as a professor.
These‘ suggestions were especially
along the line of the inﬂuence a man
comes under the power of and exerts
while in college. A

The speaker started by giving sev-
eral. very striking instances of men
who had started to college with clean
lives and by the inﬂuence of unthink-
ing and some times really bad men
had ﬁnally run the whole gauntlet of
fast living. Some of these men later
came to themselves and lived useful
Christian lives, but others never came
back to their better selves. Following
these: as an introduction he said that
men are made or marred at college;
'th-.11‘; it  :1. period of development along
every line, and that the psychical de-
velopment is just as important if not
niorer so than the physical; and that
men are liable to think that early re-
ligious convictions are not to be re-
garded as genuine. In answer to the
latter he. said that 90 per cent of peo-
ple who have a religious ‘experience
such as joining the cliurcﬁiearly in
{ife will sooner or later come back to
that conviction and become useful
(lhristian men and women.

Along the lines of personal inﬂuence
Dr. Slowerton said, “You are being in-
fluenced and are inﬂuencing others.
No one can lead you one way or the
other without you giving your con-
sent. You must think not only what
kind" of inﬂuences are going to affect
you, but olso what kind of inﬂuence
you are exerting on others.” Continu-
ing along this general line he said,

‘‘‘The t1‘01Ible with most students is that

they don’t. think. You must think.
The consequences are too important.”
And in conclusion he said, “I want
you men who are Christians to get to-
gether and pray until the spirit of
God may come upon this institution
and I am willing to be used in any way
I ‘am able to help.”

On Saturday the Kappa Alphas;
easily defeated the Phi Gains, and the’
P. K. A's. triumphed over the Sigma
Nus in a game which was an up hill
battle all the way for the victors.
The K. A’s. started oﬂ’ with a rush
that carried their more inexperienced
opponents off their feet and at the end
of the first half the score stood 9 to 2
in their favor. The game was clean
throghout and showed the best team-
work and passing yet seen in an in-
terfraternity contest, the K. A’s. be-,
ing proficient in both angles of the
game.’ For the victors, Hendrix and
Sloan played star ball each caging
three baskets, while Briscoe was re-
sponsible for the lone tally of the Phi
Gamma Deltas.

The P. K. A. Sigma Nu game was
decidedly rougher than the previous
game and more football tactics were
in evidence. Murdock and Duncan,
scoring two baskets each were the in-
dividual stars of the game. At the
end of the ﬁrst half the score stood
8 to 4, in favor of the Sigma Nus but
the Pekes pulled a ninth inning rally
and held their opponents scoreless in
the ﬁnal period while they accounted

for three goals making the ﬁnal score,
10 to 8 in their favor. *3?

WASHINGTON AND LEE’S‘
CONTRIBUTION TO THE
WAR

Time does not permit an exhaustive
study of the activities and contribu-
tioins of Washington and Lee to the
winning of the war, which has recently
been brought to a glorious consum-
mation. Statistics are not available
and the records which we have are
fragmentary and incomplete. Time
only will disclose the achievements of
this time-honored institution and its
part in the herculean struggle for De-
mocracy and Civilization. Therefore
the paragraphs which follow must be
but an epitome of the contribution Of
Washington and Lee to the victory
over Autocracy.

The ﬁrst American aviator to fall
in the cause of the Allies was a loyal
son of Washington and Lee and the
name of Kifﬁn Rockwell, of the class
of 1911, will go down in the annals of
this war as well as among those of the
University, as one of the many who
died for the cause of Liberty. Rock-
well enlisted in the French army with
his brother, Paul Rockwell, soon after
war was declared in 1914. He rose
rapidly and soon was transferred to
the “Lafayette Escadrille,” where he
was promoted to a lieutenant. Soon
afterwards he was killed while ﬁght-
ing gloriously for the Cause of Jus-
tice, Humanity and France. His
brother, Paul Rockwell, was also in-
jured but he recovered from his
wounds and soon afterward he re-
ceived his discharge from the French
army because of his incapacitation.
He later became a war correspondent
for some of the large American dail-
ies.

Immediately upon the declaration
of war, the board of trustees placed
the facilities and property of Wash-
ington and Lee at the disposal of the
government. Athletics were sus-
pended and military training sub-
stituted. The Washington and Lee
provisional training battalion was es-
tablished with Major Edwards of V.
M. I. at the head and the whole stu-

dent body entered into a course of

RING-TUM-PHI

training. This
was in the spring of 1917. In 1918,
the war department realized thatWash-
ington and Lee was behind it in its
program and established a unit of the
reserve officers training corps. Again
the campus assumed the aspect of a
military school. Many embryo of-
ﬁcers were sent to regular training
camps for further training and the
fact the 95 per cent of the men re-
ceived commissions is but another
credit to the eﬁiciency of the training
received at Washington and Lee.

Washington and Lee has every
right to be proud of her Ambulance
unit which has made such a wonderful
and enviable record. It was organ-
ized soon after war was declared, and
was composed of students and alumni
of Washington and Lee. Just as soon
as its personnel was complete, it was
sent to Allentown, Pennsylvania, for
its preliminary training and there it
stood among the best. The unit stayed
at Allentown until J anuary, 1918,when
it sailed for England. After stopping

extensive military

/ in England for a short rest, it was

sent to France and strﬁioned near
Paris for a short period. Soon after
the great German offensive broke loose
in March, the unit went into action
with the French and remained with
them until the armistice was signed
in November. Since that time it is
believed that the unit has gone into
Germany with the troops of occupa-
tion. The men were attached to the
famous 12th division of the French
army and were with them at Chateau-
Thierry and later went tr) Belgium
when this division was transferred
there. Ofﬁcially the unit is known as
S. S. U.. No. 534. The Ambulance
unit has the honor of being oﬂicially
cited twice for bravery in action and
has been decorated with the Croix de
Guerre. It has recently received :1
citation from the commander of the
French army in Belgium whose ad-
miration the personnel has gained.
Although a number of the men were
seriously injured and gassed, the unit
has been fortunate in not losing a
single man. It is to the glory of this
institution that her representatives on
the battle ﬁeld of Europe have re-
peated the acts of braveryand chivalry
which the founders of Washington
and Lee left as sacred traditions to be
benefactors.

Then in October, 1918, came the
Students Army Training corps. For
the ﬁrst time in the history of Wash-
ington and Lee University, the insti-
tution was completely transformed
into a military camp with an ill-de-
ﬁned dual executive. The curriculum
was adjusted to meet the demands of
the war department and all non—es-
sentials were eliminated. The college
authorities made large expenditures
to meet the sudden change and no ef-
forts were spared to make this unit
one of the best in the country and
this end was admirably achieved, as
shown by the report of the govern-
ment inspector. The unexpected ces-
sation of hostilities with its attendant
consequences prevented a measure of
the actual accomplishments of the S.
A. T. C. as a whole and the experi-
ment had not progressed far enough
for an unbiased consideration of its
sagacity.

In shaping the policies of America
during the conflict, we ﬁnd many
Washington and Lee alumni at the
wheel. Most prominent among these
is Secretary of War Newton D. Baker.
In the early part of the war many
criticisms were directed at our ex-
ponent but he heard them not. It was
not long before the authors of prejud-
iced censure made a retraction because
never before in the history of nations
had an army of the size of America’s
been mobilized and transported over

3,000 miles in a period of about eigh-
teen months. This achievement will
stand out in future generations as one
of the wonders of the world. Others
of the alumni are Senator Chamber-
lain of Oregon, chairman of the com-
mittee on Foreign Affairs; Senator
Poindexter from Washington, and Re-
presentative Hal Flood of Virginia,
chairman of committee on Foreign
Affairs in the house.

Of the alumni who are, or have
been, in the service, between eight and
nine hundred names have been sc“ured
but after all records are in, it is be-
yond doubt that the number will pass
the thousand mark. The incomplete
list of the sons of Washington and
Lee who gave their lives for their
country was published in the Ring-
tum-Phi a few weeks ago and it con-
tained twenty-eight names.

But physical strength is only one
element of warfare and in order to
carry on successfully a conﬂict be-
tween nations, money is necessary.
The University with its depleted stu-
dent body met every campaign and
contributed to its limit. About $100,
000 was crntributed to the various
War activities by the students, faculty
and the University. This amount was
approximately:

Liberty Bonds .......................... ..$84,0D0
Y. M. C. A. and United War

Work ...................................... .. 10,000
W. S. S ............... _. _ 1,500
Red Cross .................................. .. 1,000

From these facts imperfectly
stated, we see that Washington and
Lee has met the crisis true to her
traditions as she has done many
times before and it quite ﬁtting that
such be the case. And now that peace
reigns supreme again, she is prepar-
ing for a period of reconstruction so
that she may be of greater service to
the nation.

THE PROPER USE OF MONO-
GRAMS

Due to the repeated violations of

the use of the ofﬁcial monograms the
Athletic Association has called the
attention of the monogram men to the
following extracts from the constitu-
tion of the Athletic Association re-
garding the proper use of the mono-
grams:

“The sweaters shall be: for foot-
ball, a blue sweater with an oflicial
white W. & L. .monogram; for base-
ball, a blue sweater with an oﬁicial
combination blue and white W. & L.
monogram; for track athletics, a
white sweater with an official blue W.
& L. monogram; for basketball, white
sweater with an official combination
blue and white W. & L. monogram;
for crew, a sweater with an oﬁicial
W. & L. monogram, backed by crossed
oars; for tennis, a sweater with an
official W. & L. monogram, balanced
on either side by 31/; inches full block
letter T; for gymastics, a sweater
with an ofiicial W. & L. monogram
balanced on either side by the letters
G T,which shall be 31/; inches in height
and full block.

The athletic council has ruled that
hereafter these regulations must be
carried out to the fullest extent.

VOLUNTEER UNION
CONFERENCE IS A
SPLENDID SUCCESS

Continued from Page 1

Friday Night

Craig H. Patterson called the fourth
conference of the student volunteers
of Virginia to order and introduced
Dr. Smith, president of Washington
and Lee. In a few words of welcome
Dr. Smith said that the Student Vol-
unteer movement is the Romance of
Christianity, and congratulated the

delegates on the greatness
mission, their opportunity and their
lives in the futurel

The first real speech of the confer-
ence was delivered by Dr. E. M. Poi
teat, president of Furman University.

In opening the speaker quoted from.

Christ’s great intercessory prayer the

phase, “The men whom thou gavest~

me,” and said. that the best gift the
Father gave the Son was men, and
then he said, “I see our rised Lord

looking over our ccuntry ﬁxing our’

tasks * *  and e\‘2ryt', ing depends
on whether we say yes.”
he said that it is the great tragedy of
the world that He must wait for the
assent of people.

In what might be called the second
part of the speech he turned the atten-
tion of the audience to the text, Col-
ossoans I, 9-10 and showed how wis-
dom is seasoned knowledge but that
spiritual wisdom is something more
than this. He said, “Walk worthy of
your acquaintances and if your soul
has been touched by God walk worthy
of Him. Life was all futility and
blundering and stumbling until We
found the Pian of the will of God.” In
conclusion he laid down the three fol-
lowing principles: “You come to
know the will of God by assenting to
it before you understand it. You go
on to know the will of God by con-
senting to it as it is revealed. Those
who do the will they know are in the
way of knowledge all the will of God.”

Following Dr. Poteat’s opening
speech on Friday night Mr. H. C. Os-
trom delivered an impressive and in-
structive address on his chosen ﬁeld—
Japan—, telling of Japan’s work in re-
building the world and the opportunity
for world service in that country. Ja-
pan, one of the ‘Big Five’ at the
Peace Conference, is the leading na-
tion in the Orient, and the appeal
which she makes to Student Volun-
teers in the way of real and lasting
service is second to that of no country,
said Mr. Ostrom.

This country, with a population of
58,000,000 has railway and steam-
boat lines to all parts of the world,
and she threatens to capture the com-
merce of Great Britain in the islands
of the East and in China. The per-
centage of illiteracy among the Jap-
anese is less than than of our own
country and their entire educational
system is in the highest state of de-
velopment. Japan has an army of ﬁve
and one quarter million ﬁrst class,
well equipped ﬁghting men who have
proved their courage and efficiency
more than once. '

“But,” the speaker continued, “Ja-
pan is a non-Christian nation.” This
fact constitutes the danger of all this
eﬂiciency and industrial progress, and
it is up to the Christian nations to
see that Japan’s leaven among the na-
tions of the world may be for good
and not malevolent. For example,
Chinese business is being developed
by 400,000 Japs and,their paganism
and Buddhism is obstructing mission-
ary work in Korea and China. Japan
has advanced thirty years along cer.
tain lines since the armistice was
signed and the speaker emphasized
that the situation required haste.

Mr. Ostrom concluded with these
words: “Will you not be one of those
to go for Christ to Japan?”

Saturday

-The near Eastern Question of chal-
lenge to Christendom was the subject
of powerful address by Dr. Zwemer at
the University Assembly Saturday
morning. In this address Dr. Zwemer
opened the eyes of his audience to the
critical conditions now existing in the
Mohammedan world.

In opening his talk he gave an ac-
count of the power of the Mohamma-

‘COMMANDANT FOR R. O. T. C.
NOT YET SELECTED

Training to Be Optional if Dr.
Smith’s Decision is Approved
By Board of Trustees.

After two months of searching for
an oﬂicer to command the Reserve
Officers’ Training Corps to be estab-
lished at Washington and Lee, the gov_
ernment has thus far been unable to
find one ﬁtted for the position. And it
is impossible to tell just how soon
any action will be taken to establish
the R. O. T. C. here. However, it is
thought by President Smith that it
will be formally installed in the near
future, certainly before the end of the
session of college. The names of sev-
eral regular army oﬁicers have been
submitted at different times to the
University administration for approval
or rejection as suitable commandants
for the Training Corps but all of these
have been rejected.

It will no doubt relieve the student
body of a great deal of anxiety to
know that if President Smith’s de-
cision is not “over run” by the trus-
tees, it will be absolutely optional with
every student whether he joins the R.
O. T. C. or do work in the gymnasium
classes.

BASEBALL PRACTICE BE-
GUN

Yesterday marked the beginning of
baseball practice and about 30 can-
didates answered the call of Coach
Raftery. Competition will no doubt
be keen with so many candidates for
the team. Of course it is too early
yet to make any predictions as to the
ability of the new material but it is
encouraging to the coach to see so
many men out for practice.

THE S. A. T. C. OPENS OCTO-
BER 1ST

Second Installment

Well qualiﬁed men from the re-
serve oﬂicers training camps held in
the college during the previous ses-
sion had been recommended as good
oﬂicer material, and while the train-
ing detachments were toiling through
the heat of the summer, driving trucks

and learning mechanics, these men re-
commended as oﬁicer material were
studying at night and handling bay-
onets in the day time preparing to in-
struct the future S. A. T. C. men, and
pass on to them the theory and prac-
tice they were themselves being taught
at Plattsburg.

The first of October brought the
opening of the units, and many sleep-
less nights for the new officers. They
could give the approved deﬁnition of
the riﬂihg of a gun, and tell what to
do under almost any possible circum-
stances in bayonet combat, but what
was the proper entry on page two of
the Service Record, and was a “State-
ment of Charges” a form you used in
Court Martial or in property account-
ing? Forms could not be had, and
frantic letters and telegrams brought
no response for the reason that ﬁve
hundred other colleges were sending
the same kind of letters and telegrams
for the same sort of forms, and the
desk of the man_ in Washington was
probably buried under a regular moun-
tain of frantic requests.

Other diﬁculties appeared which
seemed to darken the sky. At most of
the training detachments, a quarter-
master had been provided who had at
least some experience with quarter-
rnaster records and methods. Here
none could be provided. Usually, not
an oﬂicer had had the least experience
with quartermaster work. Not only
was it not known how to keep the
proper records, but it was not even
known what forms to ask for to keep
the records on, or how to get the forms
even if one did know. Medical of-
ﬁcers could not be provided, and the
contract surgeons, while willing, and
very eﬂicient in curing the sick,were
utterly at a loss when it came to the
minute records required by the Medi-
cal department. Then like a deluge
came the epidemic of Spanish inﬂu-
enza, throwing into almost hopeless
confusion what remained of order and
system. Most of the colleges were
not equipped with hospitals, and those
which were had not adequate space to
handle such a large epidemic. Imagine
trying to run a military organization,
with half the command scattered
among makeshift hospitals, largely
cared for by volunteer nurses, part of
the men inducted and part not. Some
local boards could not be heard from.
Others telegraphed that all members
were in bed with inﬂuenza. Others,
that the rush of work was so great and
the help available so small that they
would be unable to attend the S. A. T.
C. inductions for the present. Men
having applied for induction and cer-
tain of their papers having been for-
warded, decided that they did not Wish
to be inducted and came to the officers
to see if the whole thing could not be
cancelled. Others decided that they
wished to enter a naval of marine S.
A. T. C. at some other college. The
doors to the oliices of the command-
ing oﬂicer and the personal adjutant
looked like a bread line. When a stu-
dent failed to have his wishes carried
out, he appealed to the faculty to in-
tercede for him. What wonder that
the officers spent sleepless nights try-
ing to make the thing a success.

Dr. Zwcmer said that Germany
wzmlrl not have dared to challenge the
Aiiies if it had not been for the be-
Zliiif that she could mobolize this great
pr.-wev and use it in accomplishing her
diabolical purpose. He then traced
the German exploitation of Islam, The
Iioly Weir‘. and the Armenian massa-
 were a direct result of this Ger-
man e:-Lploitaiion. In discussing‘ the
a_{-'.I(:::’ClOIl of why the holy war outside
of Islam was a dismal failure, Dr.
Zwenier I that all outside inﬂuence

'l":/~ :’i"st speech Saturday night was
;,:i\' 1;   Potent who ‘na:l spoken
oi: F‘ri(lay 3ll!!fi')t. This talk was logi-
-callf.‘ .: *ontinuation of the one of the
night aefore. This time the subject
 “The "»Ti'.l of God.” Following‘ up
tire tlirce principles of the night be-
fore he “;;ll(l, “When you are in the will
of God it doesn’t at all follow that
you are to escape the cross but it does
mean that we are to have the peace
Chat passeth all un.iei‘standirig'.” And
then he asked, “What is God’s particu-
lar will for me?” This time the text
was from Col. 3:15, which in a free
translation of the Greek Dr. Poteat
head’, “Let the peace of God be um-
_mLre:in your life.” He explained this
5&1 mean that man is to have for his
«compass the presence or the absence
of the peace of God. The following
areisome of the striking sentences of
Dr. Poteat which will outline the ad-
dress;: “People are in a bad fix if
they haven’t a compass, if they haven’t
they can’t. plot their course. The will
of God is the pole star of the moral
universe, and there is a particular will
of God for me. If you have no peace
W.itlt- Christ you have no compass. Self
willlocks your compass. If you are
fighting against the will of God the
only way to win is to surrenderbecause
you are surrendering to your friend.
You cannot know the will of God for
you as long‘ as you are telling God
your will for him.” And in conclus-
ion he said, “Your salvation clepeiitis
upon our heeding he Su,‘,','£’,"JS‘tlOI1 that
soinethiiig‘ is W-'on,a‘.”

One of the most powerful addresses
of the Conference was delivered on
Saturday niglit by Mr. M. ‘T. Kennedy
of Calcutta, India, one of the secre-
taries of the Foreign department of
the international committee of the Y.
M. C. A. He told of his personal work
among the educated young‘ men of In-
dia who have gathered from the best
families of that country to the city of
Calcutta to acquire an education and
his entire speech was a most i1n;.:.es-
sive appeal for young‘ men and \\’.I‘.1€T‘l
to take up work with the Y. M. and
Y. W. C. A. in that country.

Mr. Kennedy said that the back-
ground of India was made up of the

1

following factors: First, the social.

distinctions or caste system.

Ilinduism, the most fascinatinp: of re-M
li_s_>:ions with principles <lirectly oppos-I
i
l
.

in;.;' Christian beliefs. Third, the Na-
tional Spirit prevailing among‘ tie in-
habitants of India.

.‘~.ir. l~;enne(lj,' divided the responses
that he received to his personal work
into three main parts. In the ph_v—‘
sic-al i‘0Sp(3ll.S»’3 he is able to give :~‘tu—:
dents on the play ground a conceptionl
of life that they cannot get from their
own customs, habits or religions. In
his social life with them, he has been
able to destroy some caste customs,
which is a great step forward in the
education of these future leaders of
India. In the Christian response, he
has been able to get these young stu-
dents to look up to the Christian Am-
erican as his ideal of what a man
should be.

Sunday Night

Dr. S. M. Zwemer preached a very
helpful sermon to the ﬁnal session of
the Student Volunteers Sunday nigrht.
He gave as his subject, “The Pain of
an Enlar_g'ed Vision,” and chose as his
text the words of Paul to King‘ Agrip—
pa:

“I was not disobedient to the heav-
enly vision.”

Dr. Zwemer said that an enlarsred
vision always involved pain anti suffer-
ing‘. In order that we may see the
heavenly vision it is necessary that we
become blind to the earthly vision. He
illustrated this truth with several ex-
amples from scripture. If Moses lied
not seen the vision of service to lsarel
he would have spent the last to 'y
years of his life 1‘«3:~:i(liiiv,1' at l101‘:7~j as
a desert chic-ftian instead of ll2J,‘.'l11_t1‘ to
wander through the wilderness with
the responsibility of the leadership of
a great people on his shoulder.

A few striking quotations will illu-
strate the spirit of his sermon: “The
things that we see around us are
temporal, but every person that we
see is eternal.” “Material things will
crumble and pass away, but he that
doeth the will of God shall abide for-
ever.” “People that have no vision are
those that live a life of ease.” “You
have to pay for the vision in pain and‘
suffering.” “The price of leadership
is loneliness.”

Dr. Zwemer closed with a short talk
on the innerhinderances of an enlarged
vision. He enumerated these as lack
of self-surrender, worldliness, and
pride. The enlarged vision is impos-
sible to a man who can not cast three
things out of his life.

The last speech of the conference
as the ﬁrst, was delivered by Dr. Po-
teat. In the introduction he said that
the delegation would go over the top
that night for Christ and Christianity.
The address might be entitled, “Fol-
low Me,” for the speaker spoke en-
tirely of following Christ and what
that included. He said, “The simple
:l:.;t::nc;.;, ‘Follow Me’ always be-
comes the severest test when you find
out‘ where the leader is going.” Dur-
ing the talk Dr. Poteat spoke of many
who had showed themselves to be
cowards in the Christian life as well
 in the physical life and he be5_>;g'ed
the audience not to be cowards in any‘
way. In closing he said he was talk-,
inc‘ about the peril of such cowardice}
and laid down the folowing three prin-3'
ciples: “To follow Christ we must,1
1. Agree with him as a thinker. 2.
Go with him into the heart of the will
of God as a personal experience. 3.
Join him in his social program. in his
prog;ram of service for the World.”
‘Then the speaker asked the audience
to unite in prayer and the fourth con-
ference ended with the singing of
“Where He Leads Me 1 Will Fo1low,”l

while the delegates and all present re-

mained in the attitude of prayer.
