After the final game, the night of Saturday, March 3, the gym will be the scene of an informal at which the tournament members are honor guests. Following the dance President Henry Louis Smith will present awards to the winning teams and to the outstanding individual stars. , Dick Smith, graduate‘ manager of athletics, said last year that “the , fraternities make this tournament possible.” Were it not for the fin- ancial burden of boarding the play- ers being shifted from the Athletic association the tournament would be financially impossible. Twenty-one schools from Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia,,and the District of Columbia were repre- sented in the tournament last year. John Marshall high of Richmond emerged from the tournament as champion. This school was also victor in 1924, the first year of the tournament. The winning team gets all its expenses paid to and from the tournament. What money remains is distributed among the various teams in proportion to the distance they have traveled. ____()______ SPORTS EVENTS FOR THE COMING WEEK Varsity Basketball here with Maryland Friday. Boxing with Virginia here Saturday. Wrestling here with V. P. I. Monday Frosh Basketball with A._M. A. there, Saturday. Wreslting with V. P. 1. Initial Bbxing Boats of Season Against Virginia The first boxing match of the season will take place in Doremus gymnasium Saturday night when the Generals clash with the Cavaliers of Virginia. This will probably be one of the hardest fights of the season but the varsity battlers are in fine condition for the meet. The chances of a decision over were greatly enhanced when Spotts reported for practice With his addi- tion the team is strengthened in its Virginia Tuesday afternoon. only weak spot, the 175-pound class. Four Southern Conference cham- pions are on the Cavalier squad but the W. and L. battlers have put in a period of intensive training since vacation and are ready to take on the Virginia fighters. The following men will make up the Blue and White team Saturday night: 115-pound, Price Holland; 125-pound, Osterman; 135-pound, Captain Price; 145-pound- Thomp- son; 160-pound, Merritt; 175-pound, Spotts; Unlimited, Streit. __j0__._ Coaches Say 1928 Schedule Change Benefits Athletics Contrary to the belief which many students have, it is the opinion of athletic officials that the new sche- dule to be put in effect next year will aid rather than hinder atheltic practice. “I believe that, by having lunch at 12:30 as the new schedule pro- vides, men who are out for athletics in the afternoon will have time to digest their food before they come out for practice. This seems a de- cided advantage to me; otherwise I cannot see how athletics will be af-’ fected by the change.” This was the statement made by Coach Fletcher, head of the department of Physical Education, yesterday afternoon. R. A. Smith, graduate manager and basketball coach, expressed the same opinion as Coach Fletcher. “As it is now, when the men who are out for athletics eat their lunch at 2 o’clock, they are sluggish at time for practice, which is usually around three o’clock. The new sche- dule will give them more time be- tween lunch and time for practice.” This should serve to correct the idea that a great many students have that the 8:30 class system will hinder athletics. In the preliminary study of the system, particular attention was given this phase of the change by the various committees. Members of the department of physical educa- tion were consulted, and all of them seemed to be of the same general opinion that the new schedule will be a benefit to their work. The statements given by Fletcher and Smith seem to express the senti- nlvents of the athletic department. . 0 General Debaters, To Meet Randolph-Macon B. J. Wagner, manager of the Debating Team, announced yesterday that plans are being made to ar- range debates with several teams, and. that a debate with Randolph- Macon Woman’s College is a cer-' tainty. This contest will take place February 25, at Lynchburg. The Washington and Lee men will take the affirmative side of the question; Resolved: that co-education is a failure. It is also expected that a debate with the University of Florida will be held in Lexington, March 6. The question to be debated is; Resolved: that the United States should not protect by armed forces, the prop- erty of United States citizens in foreign territory. Another engage- ment which Wagner is attempting to secure is with the University of Alabama, for March 29, in Lexing- ton. As yet, no question has been decided up for this meeting. Tryouts for the Randolph-Macon debate will be held Monday, Febru- ary 7. In the previous debate with the English team, W. and L. was represented by Wagner, Platt and Maynard, but it is expected that new men will have considerable chance to make the team. More details concerning the try- here, Monday. outs will be announced after the examinations. Asn1Nei6NiANii§LT:Ei UNIV ‘fling-tum, glfilyi BY THE STUDENTS, FOR THE UNIVERSITY Over This Week-End ERSITY, WEDNESDAY, JAN.41 1, 1928 “NUMBER 27 NATIONAL ASSN HONORS w. & L. MENTOR Fletcher Appointed To Place on 1928 Collegiate Boxing Rules Commiteee. Coach Forest Fletcher, head of Washington and Lee athletics, and coach of the track and field events division, had another honor added to his already lengthy list, when he was recently appointed to the Box- ing Rules Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association for 1928. This is a distinct honor for Mr. Fletcher, as he is the regional representative of the South on the committee. Besides being on the National Committee, Coach Fletcher has for the past three years been on the Boxing and Wrestling Committee of the Southern Intercollegiate Confer- ence. At the S. I. C. meeting in Lexington, Kentucky last month he was named as one of the two Southern representatives on the .®3lOVER INDIANS Lowry and» Spotts Vie for Scoring Honors in Fast Game; Wood Stars on Defense. Showing more speed, ability and teamwork than in the Bridgewater game last Friday the Generals com- pletely outplayed the William and Mary Indians in Doremus Gym last Monday night and marched to a victory. The Indians came to Lex- ington highly touted and a much closer game was anticipated. How- ever, Coach Smith’s men opened up with a big rush and from the minute Jim Lowry dropped in the first basket there was no doubt as to the final outcome. Captain Dick started Captain Spotts, center, Jim Lowry and Eigle- bach at the forward posts and Wood and Joynes at the defensive places. Lowry brought the large gallery to its feet at the very start, when he Olympics Committee. Mr. Fletcher is well-suited to fill these executive positions because of his long and extensive experience in‘ intercollegiate athletics. He attend- ed college at Notre Dame, and while still a student at the South Bend institution was placed on the United States Olympic Team, representing his country in the high hurdles at Stockholm, Sweden. The letter of appointment to Mr. Fletcher came from Dean Frank W. Nicholson, of Wesleyan University, of Connecticut, secretary-treasurer of the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation. #_0..__ Literary Magazine Now a Certainty The supposed Washington and Lee literary magazine has become a cer- tainty, it was announced today, al- though there is not yet as much copy on hand as might be desired. There will be several articles in the magazine by outside authors in ad- dition to those contributions sub- mitted by students, of which it is hoped that more will be submitted this week. A file has been placed in the Journalism room to receive such contributions, which may be also sent to box 510. The first issue of this magazine is expected to be out by the time of Fancy Dress, but in order to do this it is necessary that all copy be in by Friday night of this week. opened up the fireworks by sinking a. difficult shot overhead.

The little team played the first twelve minutes and had the Indians tied up with a 16-3 score. The other points were rung up by Babe who dribbled through the entire W. and M. team to drop one through, and one by Eiglebach, following a pass from Spotts. At this stage Cap- tain Dick sent in the heavier out- (Continued on Page 4) __?o______ Many Tourists Visit Chapel Christmas 0 The kept open during Lee Memorial the holidays at the regular hours and Chapel Christmas was as a consequence a rather large number of tourists availed them- selves of the privilege thus granted.’ 227 people visited the chapel during the vacation, and 552 were there during the month of December. A. H. Boyden of Salisbury, N. C., who was one of General Lee’s cour- iers, was a visitor at the chapel last month. After viewing the statue of Lee and his office, Mr. Boyden told of his memories of Lee and some instances of his courage and gentle- ness during the war. The long months of training are over, and the reward for the gruell- lng workouts is at hand as the inter- collegiate wrestling season begins. Next Monday sees the Generals and the Little Generals face the strong contingent from Virginia Poly in the first match of importance on the schedule. The entire Varsity squad is in excellent condition and with the be- ginning of strict training on last Friday, the team preparedto taper off until the tryouts, which begin Thursday afternoon. Captain Den- ton, from Augusta Military Acad- emy, will officiate. The finals in all the tryouts will consist of two out of three matches, each the regulation ten minutes in length. Most of the positions on the squad are open, and practically every candidate has a chance. It is a decisive blow to both the Varsity and freshman teams that Marshall, Smoot and Smith are in- eligible for either team as these three men are all of outstanding ability, and would be of great value were it not for the fact that the conference rules prohibit the partici- pation of transfers in intercollegiate contests. All of these men have shown up well, and will‘ be excellent material for next year’s varsity if they keep up their present rate of progress. In the varsity 155 lb. class, Gres- ham has things pretty much his own way. He looks good for the V. P. I. meet, as his head injury is com- pletely healed now. Thompson and Nelson are the 125 lb. candidates. Both have a good chance to make the team, though Thompson has been incapacitated due VARSITY AND FROSH WRESTLERS PREPARE FOR V. P. I. MONDAY In the 135 lb. division, Davis, Tay- lor and Pomeroy are all excellent prospects, though Davis and Taylor have a slight edge in the matter of experience. Davis made the team for the Richmond meet, but will have plenty of competition in the tryouts this week. Tully has a very slight advantage over the other 145 lb. candidates, being closely pursued by Paddock, Evans and Holstein. Only the elimi- nation tryouts can settle the matter of who will be wrestling in this weight Monday evening. In the 158 lb. ranks only two candidates, Madison and Sperry, who have lasted through the preliminary months of training. Both are about evenly matched though Madison has showed wonderful improvement in the past few sessions. Captain Seligman is fully recov- ered from his knee injury, and will be ready for the gong next week. “Mike” is the “Mike” of old and seems likely to retain his position on the All-South Atlantic, and is also a prospect for all-conference honors. Rosenberg and Chamberlain, also in the 175 lb. class, are de- veloping fast and give “Mike” plen- ty of competition. Hughes, Bolton, and Hawkins re- present the array of material in the unlimited division. Bolton is a letter man from last year’s Varsity. Hughes won his match in the Rich- mond meet. Hawkins has only re- cently been out for wrestling, but because of his power, strength, size and remarkable agility for a man of his weight, he is making excellent progress, even though dividing his time with basketball. To quote Coach Mathis, “Hawkins is one of to the mumps, and is not in exactly perfect shape. the best heavyweight prospects I have ever seen in this conference.” GENERALS W I N J anior Prom Nears Readiness; C 0 l 0 r Scheme, Blue-White Work is fast progressing in prep- aration for Junior Prom, which will be held the night before Fancy Dress. The figure will be lead by G. N. Lowdon with Miss Evelyn Lee Sale of Weleh, West Virginia, as- sisted by E. A. Fitzpatrick with Miss Mary Linn Petty of Roanoke, Virginia. The decoration will differ from those for Fancy Dress, the theme being blue and white. Plans are be- ing completed for starting on the work as soon as possible. The decorations will be taken down Wed- nesday morning before Fancy Dress. White carnations will be worn by the men, and appropriate favors will be distributed to the girls. It is imperative that all Juniors pay their class fees since the ex- penses must be met two weeks be- fore the dance. George Lanier, chairman of the finance committee, urges that each member of that committee make a special effort to see every man assigned to him, and that each Junior make a special effort to pay his dues immediately. ____0__L Naylor’s Orchestra Highly Praised By Ohio Newspapers Oliver Naylor’s orchestra, which will play here for Fancy Dress, has recently played at Columbus, Ohio, where the comment that the orches- tra received was of such overwhel- ming praise and satisfaction the Col- umbus Dispatch printed the follow- ing article concerning Naylor’s band. “After hearing Oliver Naylor and his Victor recording orchestra play at the Valley Dale, Wednesday night, it’s easy to understand why this group of 11 versatile artists is‘ known as a favorate dance band of the eastern colleges. They’ve got‘ a brand of music that’s hard to beat and are making a deceded hit at the Dale. Especially attractive was their presentation of “Blue River” and “Missouri Squable”, the latter a new one to Columbus.” “The personnel of the orchestra is most interesting, from little Pin- kie Gerbrecht, who plays a mean cornet, to big G. Bush, saxophone, who, we hear, is afflicted with charley-horse. Oliver N a y l o r is hospitality impersonated, a most clever gentlemen who hails from Birmingham, Ala. We like him lot.” “Naylor and his orchestra come to Columbus after recently playing at the Washingto and Jefferson Fancy Dress ball, and formals at Penn State and Princeton. “They will work for the junior prom at Cornell the later part of January, after which they go south for the Washington and Lee Fancy Dress Ball.” .- c ___._0_,.__ Former Cavalier To Direct The Indians Announcement has just been made at William and Mary College that J. Wilder Tasker, for five years head coach and athletic director at that school, will not be included in the coaching personnel there next Sep- tember. A later announcement states that ‘William E. (“Billie”) Gooch, promi- nent throughout the South as a foot- ball and basketball official, will as- sume the position vacated by Tasker Tasker began coaching at William and Mary in 1923 and in his five years there has had marked success with his team in football, basket- ball and baseball. Under the revised plan of athletic control which be- comes effective in September, Tasker had been considered for one of the positions to be created in the en- larger plan of athletic regulation. Tasker, however, resigned before any action had been taken on naming seasonal coaches or graduate man- ager. The resignation is effective in June. Gooch is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Virginia where he was an outstanding three-sport athlete. Up- on graduation he assumed control of athletics at St. Christopher’s school in Richmond, but later turned to officiating and is now one of the most popular officials in the state. Last year his services were in great demand throughout the South. Gooch handled the University of Vir- ginia swimming team last winter. GENERALS SET 2 FOR MARYLAND FRIDAY NIGHT Blue and White Out to Avenge Old Liners’ 38-24 Win Before Xmas. L I N E - U P UNCERTAIN All of Squad Except Howe in Good Shape For Contest; Wood Probable Sub. The feature clash of the week comes Friday night when the Uni- versity of Maryland Old Liners will invade Doremus Gymnasium to op- pose Coach Smith’s Generals. Cap- tain Dick promises to have his men primed for the contest to secure revenge for the Christmas trip trimming Coach Shipley’s men hand- ed the Blue and White in College Park. Last year the Generals’ dropped the trip game to the Black and Gold outfit but came back later in the season to win out in the best game played all year by a 34- 32 count with Captain Urmey drop- ping in the winning basket from the middle of the court with a few seconds left to play. The Generals will be greatly aided by Captain Spotts who was on his way to the coast to play football when the game was dropped to the Old Liners on the trip. Coach Smith has developed one of the fastest and cleverest’ passing teams to ever represent the Blue and White with a defense that proved itself impregnable last Mon- day night against William and Mary when the Inidans were forced to resort to long shots for their only means of scoring. Every man will be in shape for the clash Friday night with the exception of Bobby owe who is forced to remain on the sidelines for another week or so until his nose heals. It is im- possible to predict which team Cap- tain Dick will put on the floor when the opening whistle blows, but from the showing made during the last two games the little varsity com- posed of Lowry, Eiglebach, Joynes and Wood, with Captain Spotts at the pivot post, will probably get the call. The heavier outfit will be forced to play without Howe, so that one of the other three guards will probably play the entire game. (Continued on Page 4) ____0_.:__ Spotts Gives His Vote to Hollywood, California and To the Screen Stars California is all right, according to “Babe” Spotts, the brilliant Wash- ington and Lee end who played wiht the All-Southern football team in the Los Angeles game December 26. It seems that Hollywood, the center of the motion picture world, is not quite so far away from Los Ange- les as Kalamazoo and that the screen stars don’t exactly hate football players. It is also a fact that the football team didn’t spend all its time on the coast trying to make first downs. ( The team stayed in Los Angeles on the morning of its arrival just long enough to drop the suitcases _and was Hollywood-bound before the boys could catch their breath. The First National Studio was the site of first entertainment. Here the members of the team met Laura La Plante, Colleen Moore, Patsy Ruth Miller, Milton Sills, Lew Cody, and a host of other screen lumin- iaries. Each Southerner had his picture taken taken with with a mo- vie actress and “Babe” posed with Colleen More. On the afternoon of December 26, the men from Dixie demonstrated that they could do something else besides running around with movie stars and they ran all over the pick- ed team from the Pacific Coast to the tune of 8 to 0. In the second quarter, Spotts replaced Crowley of Georgia Tech at left end and saw about ten minutes of action. In the fourth quarter, Spotts again got into the game, this time on the right flank and finished the game in this position. The grand finale of the trip was a theatre party given by Leatrice Joy, followed by a dance which last- ed into the wee small hours of the morning. On this occasion there was also a number of movie folk Ipresent. Dates were arranged for l each visitor with a prominent actress ‘and Spotts was Patsy Ruth Miller’s iescort for the evening.

The religious situation at W. and L. There are seven hundred and sev- cnty—five students who are norminal- ly members of an evangelical Chris- tian church. Of this number about half are interested enough in the student program to pledge something to the budget, but only about one tenth are interested enough to be willing to give any time or effort to a vital student Christian program of any kind. This is not a state- ment regarding those who at one time or another attend some religi- ous meeting, but refers to the small number who seem to feel any responsibility as students to make Christ real on this Campus. One of the greatest things that could happen at W. and L. this year would be for a larger group to identify themselves vitally with some Christian movement on the Campus, either in connection with a Bible class on Sunday, or in some phase of the Student Christian As- sociation. Report, C. L. Claunch, on Church and University Cooperation. This committee has been in touch with the local pastors and has urged that each church give a fellowship supper to all the members of their denomination among the students. The Y. has offered cooperation in advertising and program. So far the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches have adopted this sugges- tion with local adjustments. Report, L. L. Davidge, on Deputation. Teams. Trams have gone to speak at the following places; New Monmouth Pres. Ch., A. R. P. Ch., Timber Ridge Pres. Ch., Fairfield High School The following students participated: Irwin Sanders, Gordon Rennie, Jno. McClure, L. L. Davidge, Rob. Campbell, Joe Clower, Jack Stuart, Alfred Junkin. Good results were secured. Report, W. P. Ballard, on Boy’s Work in East Lexington. It has been very difficult to get the boys together. This was finally accomplished by promising a weiner_ roast. Twelve boys went. Al Hick- in and J. P. Davis have assisted in this. Some interest seems now to have been created. Report, Chan Gordon, on Boy’s Work in Lexington. The group of interested boys, fifty in all, between the ages of eight through fifteen, have been divided into two groups, the Friendly In- dians and the Pioneers. A carefully worked out program to develop the boys mentally, spiritually, physically and morally has been followed. Hikes, swims, games, etc. have been used. Buzzy Hill, J. Alexander, Ben Maxey, D. Wheeler, Irving Stumpff, and others have put things across. Report, R. B. Lee, Group Suppers. Suppers were served by the ladies of the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches to the organization meet- ing of the Lee Frosh Club at which about fifty were served, and to the group of seventy-five canvassers for the Y. budget. Report, J. P. Davis, on Room _ Committee. J. C. Clark and Hugh Sutton have helped. New furniture has been secured, the floor planed and waxed, new curtains and pictures secured, a new typewriter bought, and a few new records for victrola. An effort has been made to keep the room looking nicely. Miss Helen Webster has been instrumental in much that has been done. - S. F. Hampton, Freshmen Work. All the freshmen interested in the Y. M.

There are three fellowship groups with Mr. activities engaged in by the members Moreton and Mr. Patterson leaders. There have been three regular meetings of the Lee Club, and as now organized the executive com- mittee consists of Marvin Pilley, Pres., M. L. Glover, V.-Pres., W. 0. Thomas, Sec., D. L. Cloud and J. C. Homer, members at large. The ac- tive nucleus of this club consists of about eighteen men, and it is con- sidered a most worthwhile group. Report, F. W. Sherrill, Finances. The financial campaign to raise $1870.00 for the Y. budget was organized at a supper in the Pres- Ch. Friday night Oct. 7, 1927 with about seventy-five canvassers pres- ent. Up to date with four-fifths of the student body seen and most of the faculty there has only been raised about $1000.00 of the amount desired. The remaining men will be seen soon. This committee suggests that next year a larger canvassing committee be perfected, that better advertis- ing be done, and that a better night than Friday be selected. Report on W. and L. Handbook, Alfred Junkin, Bus. Mgr. The net receipts were $329.83 and total expenses were $210.94. Net proceeds $118.89. One thousand copies were printed and practically all have been distributed free to students and faculty. Report, John McClure, on Religious Meetings. Student religious meetings have been held in the “Y” room on Tues- day nights. All except Jno. Tyler have been local leaders, W. W. Morton, Parson Gibson, Dr. Howe, Rev. Smith, Rev. Jackson, Mr. Bauer, C. H. Patterson. The attendance has varied from twelve to thirty- five at these meetings. There were seventy-five students to hear Mr. Tyler. Special music has been given at three of the meetings. On the first Tuesday night in Nov. and Dec. there was an informal discussion meeting at the close, as to “Y” plans and policies, and light refreshments were served. Report, A. C. Junkin, Social Activi- ties. This committee had charge of the College Night program for Fresh- men at the opening of school at which about two hundred freshmen were present. One Saturday night social was held in Oct. for fresh- men and a group of the Lexington young ladies assisted in the serving and entertainment. This committee has also been in charge of the refreshments at the, Tuesday night meeting of the “Y”. the first of Nov. and Dec. This' committee also helped Mr. Herbert Yeuell in showing the pictures in the “Y” room Oct. 24-27. Night School. John Lynch and John Pilley are meeting for an hour twice a week with two groups of table boys and butlers, and are teaching arithmetic and English of suitable grade. Their work is much appreciated. Herbert Yeuell’s Lectures. For four nights. Oct. 24-27, Mr. Yeuell was in the “Y” room giving splendid illustrated lectures on the books, Ben~ Hur and Quo Vadis, on the Passion Play of Oberammergau and on France. There was a fair attendance of local people, but al- though well advertised the student attendance was very small. No edu- cational series of this type is thought worth while for the future.

It was necessary for Wood to play the entire game with both outfits as Bobby Howe is still out with a broken nose following the Bridgewater game. Wood was out- standing throughout the entire con- test and his fighting type of play- ing, with his ability to handle the ball and fast dribbling, reminded many of Frank Urmey, captain of last year’s outfit. The heavy varsity had a little difficulty during the rest of the half and were outscored by the Indians during this period. All are football veterans and have not yet hit their stride but are expected to show their last year’s brilliance before another week. The half ended with the Blue and White on the long end of a 20-12 count. The second stanza opened with two brilliant overhand shots by Babe while he was being closely guarded. Meb Davis, captain of the visitors, then broke through for two unas- sisted baskets quickly being followed by his teammate Dunbar, who play- ed a stellar game for the invaders. Gene White then came through with his second basket, a difficult shot from the side of the court. Follow- ing this Captain Dick sent in his smaller men to finish the clash. Lowry again broke loose and single handed scored the next eight points of the game. After a basket and free throw by Dunbar, Wood took the next tip-off and dribbled through the entire In- dian teamto ring up two points. Winn then scored on a long heave and following this Captain Spotts made the feature play of the eve- ning when he tapped the ball clean ahrough the rim on a jump-ball play from past the foul line. After this shot Babe ran wild for the remain- ing few minutes ringing up single handed the Generals last thirteen markers. He was interrupted sev- eral times by Winn of the visitors who sank three pretty long shots to score for the Indians. The game ended after Winn had dropped in his third with the final score being 49-31. Summary: W. & L. Lowry, f Eiglebach, f White, f Ebert, f Spotts, c (C Joynes, g .

McDermott will address the student body Thursday, January 19, in Doremus gymnasium at the Founders Day assembly. Judge McDermott is a member of the Board of Trustees and an inti- mate friend of John W. Davis and Boling Lee, also trustees. He is now carrying on an extensive law practice in New York City, and is geenrally considered one of the lead- ing lawyers there. He is the legal adviser and administrator for the Doremus estate, the affairs of which Washington and Lee students are immediately interested in. JudgelMcD'ermott is a member of the Board of Trustees and the Exe- cutive Committee of New York Uni- versity. He is at present on a business trip in Florida, and will probably remain there until his visit to Washington and Lee. There will be no examination held on Founders Day, but attendance to the general assembly at eleven o’clock is compulsory. ____o__.___ BULL SESSIONS DEBATED BY GRAHAM-LEE SOCIETY The Graham-Lee meeting held last Saturday night was featured by a debate: “Resolved, that bull sessions are not beneficial.” The affirmative was represented by J. B. Davis and Walden. R. A. Merrit and R. 0. Morrow supported the negative. The negative won, 2 to 1, by a judges vote. Extemporaneous speeches were made by J. P. Lynch and H. B. Busold. Red Merrit urges that all mem- bers be present at the meeting this Saturday, as it is the last one that will be held this semester. This meeting will be for the purpose of electing new officers, and will last only long enough for the elections. F rosh Wrestlers Meet V. P. I. Rats in Gymnasium Monday The Frosh wrestling candidates are to get their first taste of inter- collegiate competition next Monday night when V. P. I. sends its rats to Lexington for a meet. Bowes and Barkus in the 115 lb. class are about evenly matched. Both are showing up well in prac- tice, and it is a toss up as to which will win in the tryouts. In the 125 lb. section, Gresham, Kaulan, and Nanny are prepared to fight out for the coveted berth, and not one of them has an edge on any of the others. Glover and Sheilds, also in this class are suffer- ing from minor injuries which will keep them out of this meet. All five of these candidates look well and have shown much improvement since the begining of practice. Veech and Palmer, both good men, represent the 135 lb. candidates, and the decision as to who is the better can only come out after the elimi- nation tryout matches. In the 145 lb. class, Sutherland and Gautiers are out. Strain is also in this division, but due to a bad arm will not be able to work in matches. Both Gautier and Suther- land are showing much improve- ment of late and no pick of the win- ning candidate could be made. Lewis and Flagg are the 158 lb. contenders, and this is another toss up. Although Flagg has only been out for a few days, he is showing splendid aptitude for the sport, and is improving fast. Newsom (175 lb.) and Mitchell (unlimited) complete the squad. Newsom is another newcomer to the squad, who is making progress in rapid strides. Mitchell also looks well in his class. __0___ Indoor Track Squad Meets Virginia In Relays February 25 The indoor track team under the direction of Coach Fletcher has been holding daily practices for the past lweek and are gradually rounding into shape for the coming season. The squad numbers approximately 35 including the Varsity and Fresh- men. Nothing definitely can be stated yet about the material out for the team, practice having been going on only one week, but the general impression for the coming season is favorable. Coach Fletcher is putting most of his attention at present on the relay team which will run a feature race with the University of Virginia relay team at the University of Rich- mond’s annual indoor track carnival held in Richmond on February 25. The locals have succeeded in con- quering the Cavaliers for the past two years in this event and are working hard to make this their third consecutive victory. This is the only meet for the in- door runners that has been closed so far but a dual meet with the University of Virginia is tentative. ___.._0_._______ F rosh Hoopsters Meet A. M. A. Coaches Davis and Smith have been putting the finishing touches on their frosh hoopmen in the last two or three practice sessions and are preparing them to invade Fort Defiance next Saturday night and do battle with the Augusta Military Academy stalwarts. The coming game with the cadets will be the curtain-raiser for the local freshmen and every man on the squad is point- ing for this initial opportunity to demonstrate his ability against a foreign contingent. No definite lineups or dope on those making the trip Saturday night has been given out by the coaches, and this will not be divulged until later in the week, but of the follow- ing men who have been showing up well in practice, about eight or ten will be taken to A. M. A. Forwards, Jacobs, Hardwick, Hanna, Homer, Barron, Smith, Le- vine; centers, Williams, Cox, Spears, guards, Pilley, Faulkner, Thibodeau, Scott. Johnny Devine, guard, was ill with the mumps the latter part of the Christmas hodidays, and has been unable to attend the daily practices. ___€0___M Maynard, Senior Lawyer, Marries Over Vacation William Henry Maynard, of Clarksdale, Miss., senior lawyer at Washington and Lee, married Miss Elizabeth Whittington, of Tunica, Miss., at his home during the recent Christmas vacation. The couple spent their honeymoon in New Orleans, La., and are at present residing here. Maynard plans to continue his studies at Washington and Lee until June, when he will be graduated. Mr. and Mrs. Maynard will then live in Clarksdale. 4:; Hours Among Tfza Ldtest Boo/as LITERARY BLASPHEMIES, by Earnest Boyd—Harper and Broth- ers, Publishers, New York. Iconoclasm runs rampant in Ernest Boyd’s latest book, “Literary Blasphemies”, but it is iconoclasm of a sort which sets the reader think- ing, and which has a background of unprejudiced reasoning behind it. Whether or not we agree with the author, we cannot but admire his honest eRort to set down his own personal impression of famous, and sometimes almost canonized, authors uncolored by the prejudice in their favor which often exist in the pro- fessional view point. tried”, hewstatesl in his Address to the Indignant Reader, “to reread a group of English and‘ American classical authors from the point of view of a man who is entirely unimpressed or unconvinced ‘by the conventional attitude adopted towards established reputations, who .brings to them a fresh mind, colored only by such tastes, prejudices, and weaknesses as are given free play in the discussion of contemporaries.” Among those authors whom he crititizes are Shakespeare, Milton and Dickens, whose place in English literature has been considered, and doubtless will continue to be consid- ered by many, inviolable. The pur- pose of the author is not to effect any revolt among the opinions now existing as to the place of these authors in literature, for, as he says, “Most of the classics have survived frequent and harsher criticism, so it is quite unnecessary to remind me that Shakespeare will be remembered long after 1 am forgotten.” His purpose appears to be an honest one, and for this reason his book is made doubly interesting even for those who hold firmly to the con- ventional opinions concerning the authors discussed. Iconoclasm and radicalism being the charges most ‘frequently directed against college and university students, the book should be very interesting to them. As an illustration of Mr. Boyd’s analysis, let us quote him on Shake- speare: “ . . . . people of a natural cred- ulous disposition will hardly believe .that Shakespeare can do anything that their favorites of today can do. He can offer humor as healthily elementary as that of the Marx brothers; he can wave the flag~' British, it is true—with the effective gusto of Mr. George M. Cohan; he can psycoanalyze as subtle as Marcel Proust. He can portray girls as sweet as any in the pages of Ethel M. Dell and more fascinatingly wild than the flapper heroines of the jazz age. He can combine James Branch Cabell’s all-too-human imagination with the austere beauty of the poetry of Robert Frost. In brief, he is everything that is denounced today in the popular objects of his, academic champion’s wrath, together? with all that they have never noticed in living genius and have rarely ex- tracted even from his own works. Shakespeare in other words, is much more entertaining than his classroom champions indicate, and the re- proaches of his more candid friend have this quality in common with St. Augustine’s ConfeSsions—they make the reader envy his trans- gressions as Byron succintly put it.” In addition to this unprejudiced analysis Mr. Boyd has an unusually pleasing style interspersed with subtle quips which shock the readerl into interest and attention in thel dull spots, these places being very} rare indeed. Shakespeare is re-i ferred to, for instance, as being “canonized and thrown to the pro-, fessors”. Of Milton he says, “Para- dise Lost and Paradise Regained contain more fundamentalism than poetry.” ‘ Whatever may be the reader’s re- action to Mr. Boyd’s opinions it cannot but be admitted that “Liter- ary Blasphemies” is refreshing in its very nature, and that it is worth-‘V while and interesting reading for} one who is not satisfied with every- thing conventional and who likes to think.——R.
