Coach Forest Fletcher, while at

last week was appointed as one of
the two southern representatives on
the Olympic Committee. Each sec-

two representatives to this body.
W. D. Funkhouser, of the University
of Kentucky is the other southern
representative. Coach Fletcher is well
suited for his new position, as he at-

phenomenal tarck work at Norte

to represent the United States in the

lFreshinan Quiiiti
‘ Battles Varsity

Reserves Twice

The freshman basketball team saw
lac-tion last Monday for the first
jtime this season when they scrim-
.maged with the varsity second team.
The two squads met for the second
time on Tuesday afternoon and will
continue to battle for the remainder
of the week to help round the Gen-
erals into shape for the holiday trip.

As yet there has been no definite
style of play taught the Little Gen-
erals and they have been more or
less “on their own” when they took
the floor against the varsity and
have thus been at a disadvantage.
The individual ability of many can-
didates, however, has provided the
big team plenty to thing about in
the workouts.

Coach Davis still has a huge squad
to pick from and it is possible that
he will cut the number of candidates
down to working size at the end of
Lllls week.

llanna and Jacobs were running
in the forward positions until the
former was taken sick with the
mumps. Barron has been taking
l-{annals place in recent scrimmages,
while Leigh Williams has been start-
ing at center with Hardwick press-
ing him closely. Scott, Pilley and
1/~aulkner have been having a merry
tustle for the guard jobs, but other
prospects are beginning to show
among the candidates.

'l'wombly’s Mermen

Get Stiff Workout

I

The swimming team has been ex-
periencing some extra hard work-
outs during the past week in prep-
aration for its first meet shortly
after the holidays. Coach Twombly
states that much of the promising
material out the first part of the
year had dropped out, butpit is prob-
able that the mumps epidemic is thel
cause of this and he expects hisl
full squad out after the holidays.

The frosh are showing up excep-
tionally well and although there are
some weak spots in the line-up at
present these will easily be filled
by the time for their first meet.

The team will not be put on train-
ing rules over the holidays but will
be put on pledge after their return.

FACULTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTHETI
INTERPRETS ABSENCE CLAUSES

Joker In Rules Enables Student
To Leave Yesterday
If He Wished.

“PAPER” CUTS NOW EXIST

Uniform Ruling Now Possible As
Provisions Are Thrashed
Out.

An official interpretation of the
absence regulations, backed by the
authority of the executive committee
of the faculty, was announced this
morning, following a meeting of the
committee yesterday afternoon at 4
o’clock. The explanation coincides
with that previously given but at the
same time is at variance with the
interpretation put upon the various
clauses by others.

Beginning Friday, all cuts taken
before the holidays start will count
double insofar as record-keeping is
concerned, and also as regards the
matter of reaching the number al-
lowed before the student is reported
to the factulty executive committee.
When a student gets twice as many
cuts in one class as he has class
meetings a week in that section, he
is brought before the committee for
disciplinary action, and will be dealt
with as the merits of his particular
case warrant. Probation for the
following semester is apt to be the
punishment meted out for students
violating this clause, although no
set rule has been established by the
committee. This clause also applies
for absences during the four days
immediately following the holidays.

In their efiect upon the quality
credits of the student, however, it
is the number of classes actually
missed, and not the “paper” cuts as
increased by the double-cut rule,
that are of importance. Under the
regulations, each student is allowed
only as many absences as he has
class meetings a week, and any
extra over and above that number
will deduct one quality credit for
each class missed in excess of those
allowed in the particular subject
affected. '

For example, a student who has
not taken any cuts of any character
whatever up until yesterday could
leave immediately following his last
class yesterday, and still he immune
from any disciplinary action, the sec-
retary of the committee stated.
When school officially closes next
Tuesday he will have had three class
absences in each section for which
he is enrolled, and thus will have
taken his limit. Any further cuts,
for any reason at all, including sick-
ness, will deduct from his quality
credits.

On the other hand, since cuts count
double from Friday morning on, he

will have had five “paper” absences
No penalty, save a
warning, would be forthcoming for
this, however, but if he should take
one cut in any class between January
4 and examinations he would be
liable to the action of the executive
committee, with the probability of
being placed on probation for the
entire second semester.

The executive committee and the
entire faculty realize now that they
left a gaping loop—hole in the regu-
lations when they promulgated them
last spring. It was never their in-
tention, they state, to make it pos-
sible for a student to leave school
a full week before the holidays of-
ficially begin, but, on the other
hand, the provision for double cuts
was inserted in a deliberate effort
to curtail this tendency.

Analytical minds among the stu-
dent body, however, soon found the
weak spot in the provisions, and
certain administration members also
recognized it as soon as they were
called upon to interpret a compli-
cated case of absences. Whether or
not action will be taken before the
start of the second semester to cor-
rect the deficiency or to revise the
regulations throughout could not be
learned today, but it is a certainty
that what the students at first con-
demned in the rules has worked out
to their benefit in the greatest
degree.

MATMEN 13.15

Take Three Falls and A
Decision; Local Heavies Down

Invaders
Opponents.

The Varsity wrestling team lost
the first match of the season to the
Richmond Y. M. C. A. here last
Saturday night in a close scrap, the
final score being 18 to 15. Coach
Mathis was very well pleased with
the outcome, and stated that the
team surpassed his expectations.
The Washington and Lee matmen
showed up well, and gave evidence
of some excellent training in all
departments of the game, but Rich-
mond had a tremendous edge in ex-
perience.

It was the first match for all of
the Varsity men with the exception
of Bolton, and Coach Mathis is op-
tomistic over prospects of a winning
team. The meet gave the men some
valuable experience, which is expect-
ed to prove beneficial in the future.

The preliminary bouts between
freshmen were good and furnished
some lively action. T. Gresham won
a time decision over Nelson by 1:15;
and H. W. Smith gained a slight
edge over Smoot by 1:00.

The opening of the regular
matches saw Gresham, Washington‘
and Lee 115 pounder, lock horns‘
with Robertson of Richmond. This
was one of the evening’s best bouts,
and although Gresham’s opponent
had quite an advantage due to his
experience, Gresham put up a great
fight, and made an excellent show-
ing. Robertson scored a fall after}
8:00 minutes of hard wrestling. 

In the 125 pound tussle Thompson‘:
(W. & L.) took revenge for his
teammate’s defeat, by pinning the
shoulders of Wilkerson (Richmond)
to the mat after 3:44 with a body
scissors and half-nelson. This was
a nice fight on the part of both
men, though Thompson’s superiroity
was in evidence from the beginning.

‘students, as a great deal more may)

This match evened the count 5 to 5.

Davis (W. & L.) held May, (RICh‘i
mond) captain, to a close fight dur-E
ing the opening minutes of the 1351
pound scrap, but during the latter
part of the bout, aided by a tough
break for Davis, May was able to
gain a time advantage of 3:35.
Richmond forged into the lead after
this bout 8 to 5.

Tully (W. & L.) started off with
a bank against Heene of Richmond
in the 145 pound match. Several
times it seemed that Tully. «Was sure
to get a fall, but each t'1';.'me Heene
managed to wriggle loose. ,- Heene at
last counted 3. fall, in spite of Tully’s
best effort to fight himself. out. This
gave Richmond a lead‘ of 8 points.

In the 158 pound struggle, Dutsch-
er (Richmond) scored a fall Over
Sperry (W. & L.) after 3:55.
Dutscher clearly had a great ad-
vantage by his weight and experi-
ence, but Sperry gave a good account
of himself. This cinched the meet
for Richmond, by giving them an
edge of 13 points with only two
matches to go.

Bolton in the 175 pound group,
and Hughes in the unlimited, staged
a splendid comeback by winning
their matches by falls over Williams
and Brothers respectively. Bolton
won a fall handily in 4:45, and
Hughes came back after a draw to
win by a fall in the first of the
extra periods. This made the final
score—Richmond, 18; Washington
and Lee, 15.

The Varsity will continue to hold
workouts during the holidays, as
several of the men will remain in
Lexington. Those who go home will
keep in shape for the V. P. I. match,
which will be in Lexington on
January 16. V. P. I. won the South-
ern Conference championship last
year and have high hopes of repeat-
ing, as they lost but few of their
stars. This meet will be a stiff one
for an early season encounter, but
Coach Mathis hopes to win it, since
al lthe men came through Saturday
night with only minor injuries, and
Captain Mike Seligman is expected
to be in condition by that time.

PROGRAM ARRANGED
FOR FOUNDER’S DAY

The university has arranged for
a suitable program for Founder’s
Day, January 19, the anniversary of
General Lee’s birth. The student
body will be given a holiday, as is
the custom. In the morning, a special
speaker will addresss the students

at a general University assembly in
the gymnasium. There will also be
a regular meeting of the university
Board of Trustees later in the day.
That night a large banquet for the
Civil War, and other war, veterans
will be given in the basement of the
Episcopal Church.

defeat. We are not describing an al-

of his adversary before tearing him
to shreds. 

Skipper belongs to one of the
members of our austere faculty, and
Satan hangs around at one of the
fraternity houses. Hence, when the
dust of battle had subsided, and the
blood cleared up, said faculty mem-
ber paid said fraternity house a
visit to order that the lowly Satan
be kept under closer watch, or dras-
tic results would incur.

Meanwhile Skipper is in dock get-
ting repairs, while Satan meekly
awaits an unknown fate.

Freshmen Assembly
To Discuss Finals

The freshman assembly held on)
Monday night was to explain to the;
new men the system under which 5'
Washington and Lee dances are con-E
ducted. Special emphasis was laidl
on Finals, and the necessity for the

.help of every man.

1
Bill Dorsey was in charge of the!
meeting, and Bobby Howe gave at
short talk, in which he explained
what was required of each man.
Tables are to be placed in conspicu-
ous places on the campus and in
the stores, where every student may:

While only one coach in the Con-,

western, has openly denounced the
Michigan plan, some coaches have
refused to announce such a plan at
their schools mostly because of short-

I‘roi'essor O. T. Long, chairman of‘ 

the Northwestern Conference of fac-
ulty represciita'tives, l‘iOW(.-V01’, said
he felt the plan would be a good
one, giving more men a chance to
play.

Coach A.'A. Stagg, of Cliicago,
said the reason he is not eager to
try the plan is because of shortage
of material. i"-,linnesota’s athletic
heads have said that while they
have no plans for two teams in 1325,
they may give the plan a try—out
later. Iowa has indicated an inten-
tion to develop two teams.--(Ai‘)

VVomen must have
just as a dog must have fleas, and
a professor theories. This ornament
takes various forms—from daubs of
rouge to pounds of jewelry.

Among the visitors to the Lee
Memorial Chapel recently was Sadie
June Matthews,
woman from Miami, Florida, whose

beautiful jewels have attracted wide‘

recognition there. But now——she has
laid aside all these jewels and in
their place she wears a necklace
and bracelet made of Confederate
iiieiiici-ial coins linked together. She
will continue to wear these, she says,
until enough of the coins have been
.<.old to complete the Confederate
nicinorial at Stone Mountain, At-
lanta Georgia.

Miss Matthews urges all other
young Southern women who are en-

Tennis Fans Use
Electric Lights‘;

Tennis by electric light is provingl
such a success in London as to lead
to the belief that in time the arti-

ficially-lighted court will be the rule

and not the exception in England,‘
as is the case with squash racquets
today. Although it is not likely thati
championships will be decided byl
a.i~tii'icial light for some years ati
least, there seems to be no doubti
that tennis by electric light will be-ll,
come increasingly popular and that‘
more tennis will be played in the;
immediate future than in the past.
