The entire student body, faculty, and townspeople are invited to this ser- vice, and those in charge are mak- ing plans to take care of a capacity crowd. Dr. Thompson is characterized by those who have heard him as a “most popular and enteraining speak- er.” R. C. Ammerman will feature the music for the morning with selections on the violin. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 in the chapel special music will be given by the twelve-voice choir of Southern Seminary. A varied program is in; store, according to indications.

He speaks French, Ger- man, Russian and English, and has published several volumes of law translations. ,_._0.m_ Students Asked To Support ‘28 Finals Now that Fancy Dress is over the Student Body is earnestly asked to give its support to the Finals cam- paign. R. F. Howe, President of 1928 Finals, stated to-day that the Christ- mas drive netted three hundred sub- scribers, but all of the checks from this drive had not been turned in. He further stated that it was necessary to get double this number of sub- scribers in order to insure a bigger and better Finals. As the Student Body has been un- der somewhat of a financial strain during Fancy Dress the second drive will not be started until about the first Monday in March. Since the school year has been shortened a week and Finals has been brought correspondingly nearer it will be nec- essary for every student subscribing to pay as soon as possible. A table will be placed at the entrance to the campus, when the drive starts and in this manner every student can be seen and asked to pay the necessary ten dollars. Following this a regular canvass will be conducted so that there will be no possibility of any student having been overlooked. 0 Dr. Wm. Brown ‘is scheduled to speak during the sessions of the As- sociation of Virginia Colleges at Ho-‘I tel Jefferson in Richmond Friday and Saturday. DR. WI T. THOMPSON Fast F rosh Team To Meet V. P. I. Rats Saturday With a record of seven victories and no defeats on the books, the VVashington and Lee freshman bask- etballteam will go to Blacksburg Saturday to play the V. P. I. rats for the second time. The Little Generals already have a 30 to 21 decision over the junior Gobblers on the Doremus cou_rt. The Washington and Lee team has been strengthened by the return of Jacobs, a regular forward, who receiv- ed a dislocated shoulder in the first A. M. A. game. Jacobs reported for practice the first of the‘ week and will probably see service in the V. P. I. struggle. On the trip, Coach Eddie Parks Davis uncovered another for- ward from his wealth of material who promises to give the injured regulars, Jacobs and Hardwick, a merry chase for their jobs. This man, Cox, al- though he did not play a single com- plcte game on the northern invasion, scored 36 points and will probably be taken from his job as substitute cen- ter and started as a forward Satur- day night. Williams is showing great improve- ment in his already brilliant perform- ance at center. Pilley and Faulkner are making a great showing in the guarding jobs, although Scott and Thibodeau are making them no cer- tain fixtures in these positions. The players are fast losing their depen- dence on their individual ability and are molding into one of the classiest freshmen teams in the Conference. -———0 Students Living In Dorm Warned About Conduct Students will sleep and window panes will remain unbroken if warn- ings made by the Executive Commit- tee of the Student Body before a joint meeting of residents of Graham and Lees dormitories last night are head- ed. W. J. Dorsey, R. L. Jordan, and J. H. Osterman were the chief speak- ears. Members of the Executive Commit- tee told the dormitory men that af- ter a faculty request they had held a meeting last week to deal with the question of damaged property, dam- aged sleep, and property removed by strangers. Co-operation by students only will prevent future regulation by the faculty, Executive Committee- men said. Dorsey also pointed out that, as he understood the custom, the Executive Committee had the power of recom- mending the expulsion of any student for infraction of dormitory rules. He threatened future miscreants with summary punishment. Further recommendations of the Executive Committee provided for the policing of the dormitories on dance nights, and denying entrance to the dormitories to strangers with- out express permission from J. H. Osterman. mom NOT A BAD IDEA! Boring Young Man (holding forth ,to pretty girl): You know, I’m fun- ny like that—always throw myself into anything I undertake.

The judges, “Bill” Streit, ‘05, chair- Coach Forest Fletcher, Alumni Secretary, Verbon E. Kemp man, and (acting for Professor R. G.

This was necessary because tackles were voted as guards and like mistakes were made in other posi- tions. The votes for positions on the first team were unanimous for “Ted” Schultz, tackle and captain, and for “Cy” Young and “Johnny” Barrett, halfbacks. There was only one choice for a player other than “Ty” Rauber at fullback and “Al” Pierotti at cen- ter. Every other player placed on the first team had a large majority of votes for his position and there was little choice left to the judges. In making up the second team therel was a larger number of players to choose from. Most of the old-time players (from ‘95 through ‘05) were relegated to the third team chiefly because few alumni of that period voted, and because the style of foot- (Continued on page Four) 0_.___ Wisconsin Prof. Asks Improvement Journalism’s greatest weakness as‘ a profession lies in its lack of local, state, and national organizations made up of the rank and file of news- paper writers and editors, Professor Willard G. Bleyer, director of courses in journalism at the University of Wisconsin, told the annual convention of journalism teachers. Several proposals intended to im- prove the teaching of journalism were left untouched for consideration next year. One of these would have de- manded two years of work in liberal arts for journalism students, but it met opposition from small schools.

Davis, of the Generals, scored a Washington and Lee decision over Sorter, his opponent in the 135 lb. division. This was an ex- tra period bout, and Davis was the victor by the time decision of 2:22. White of Virginia won a decision by 6:00 over Tully of the Generals. Tully was handicapped by an unex- pected attack of indigestion. The 158 lb. match.between Madi- son for the Generals and Captain Wil- liams of the Cavaliers proved to be the sensation of the evening. Both men fought well, using every known trick and turn, but after two furious extra periods neither had an advan- tage and the referee, was forced to call it a draw. Captain Seligman in the 175 lb. di- vision was easily the victor over Frcnch, and pinned his shoulders in the shortitime of 3:45. Hughes continued his win streak in the unlimited section by winning a fall over Wimbrough in 5:45. _..__0____._ Dr. Howe To Speak For Norfolk Club Dr. James Louis Howe, professor water Chemistry club at Norfolk Fri- day night on the subject of metals of the platinum group.

Graham-Lee, with a history dating back 126 years to Jan. 19, 1809, is_ also one of the three oldest literary societies in America. For some years, at least, it was probably the most influential stu- dentdent organization on the campus. In the years previous to 1850 over half the students belonged to it. Colla- borating with the Washington Soci- ety, Graham-Lee edited the Southern Collegian, a mazazine of university news, literary essays, and humor for 55 years. It was first organized in 1809 as the Graham Society. By a strange coin- cidence it was founded in the year of Lincoln’s birth, and on the same day Jan. 19, that later was to be celebra- ted over the South as the birthday of General Lee. About 1870‘Lee’s name was linked to the original name of the society. Some of Graham-Lee’s most prom- inent members of today are John W. Davis, Democratic presidential nomi- nee of 1924, Newton D. Baker, Secre- tary of War under Wilson, and Harry St. George Tucker, the present con- gressman from this district. One of its members was “kicked out” of school for throwing a biscuit across the dining hall, accidentally hitting a member of the faculty on the cheek. He was John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, who later became U. S. senator from that state and Attorney General under presidents Harrison and Fillmore.

Slavery was also condemn- ed in debates held in the fifties. When Gen. Hunter swept through Lexington with his “damn Yankees” in 1864, he destroyed the hall fur- nishings and most of the society’s records, so little is known concerning the society’s activities in ante-bellum days. Graham-Lee, however gave the uni- versity some excitement in 1830. At that time two-thirds of the students were members of it. The faculty tried to cut out some of the society meet- ings because they diverted the stu- dent’s mind from his study. Washing- ton College was thrown into turmoil. Society members compared their case to that of the American colonies against England. And like the Ameri- can colonies they overcame the “tyr- anny” of their oppressors. Just after the Civil War, subjects that remained vital were debated in the society halls. For instance, co- education was thrashed out in 1873. In 1874 the question of whether wo- men or money have the greater influ- ence over man was argued. In 1875, before an audience composed of “a large portion of the beauty of Lex- ington,” woman sufferage was debat- ed. All these years, 1870 to 1919, edi- tors elected from the society were in charge of the Southern Collegian. What this publication was can be got- ten from the following title heads coming from an issue of fifty years ago: “Lexington Needs a Railroad”; Meet Duke Tonight lain Generals Nosed Out 44 to 43 By W. Va. ‘In the most sensational game ever seen in Huntington Washington and Lee’s Generals were nosed out by the West Virginia Mountaineers last Sat- urday night by the slender margin of one point before 2500 spectators who witnessed the clash. The final score was 44-43 with the Blue and Gold fighting desperately to withstand the sensational last minute rally of Coach Smith’s fighting quintet. The Gen- erals were eleven points in the rear with but six minutes to go. The gal- lery was commencing to look for the nearest exit to make a fast getaway. Then something happened. The Gen- erals, in typical Washington and Lee fashion, refusing to admit defeat to their old rivals, put everything they had in a last effort to conquer the Mountaineers. Led by Captain Spotts, who, according to newspaper reports, played the greatest game of basket- ball ever seen in the West Virginia city, and with the help of the entire team, the Generals crept up on their rivals point by point. In those last hectic minutes the Blue and White garnered sixteen points to five for the Mountaineers, but failed by a slim point or so to be able to come home with a victory. With less than a min- ute left Babe got hold of the ball and started to dribble down for the win- ning basket. A Mountaineer guard darted in front of him. Spotts was going too fast to dodge, and the two crashed, the Morgantown man fell to the floor and Spotts continued to sink the basket. The points that would have won the game were disallowed how- ever as it was ruled that play was automatically called when Cox hit the floor. In the remaining few seconds the Generals fought desperately but were unable to get the necessary point. I News paper reports had nothing but praise for Coach Smith’s men. Everyone played in sensational fash- ion with Lowry and Spotts doing most of the scoring. Babe was high point man of the evening sinking nine baskets and a free throw for a total of nineteen. He was followed by Lit- tle Sleepy Glenn with a fifteen and Captain Taylor of the Mountaineers with fourteen. Jim Lowry came next with ten and Ernie Wood counted six. 0 Only four Washington and Lee stu- dents are at present in the Jackson R. J. Bolton are victims of carbuncles, grippe, and H. D.

None of the men have been definite- ly picked yet, but the following is the results of the trials held last Satur- day for the mile run: Simmons, 54-3, Sandifer, 55-3, Amole, 56-1, Janney, 57, Grashorn, 57-2, and Dormon, 58-4. Brock was unable to run. In the Freshman trials Dickey made the best showing with the time of 55- 4. The other times were: Vaughan, 56-1; Grant, 57-2; Bigham, 58; Mel- len, 58-1; and Johnson, 58-4. Shep- hard, because of a bad leg, did not compete. Captain Reardon, Patterson, Sproul, and Carter are working on the low hurdles with Cocke and Pomeroy try- ing out for the pole vault.

It will be remembered however that Cameron came up last fall with a highly touted football team that was favored to trim the Generals but failed. The Blue Devils basketball outfit has an even more impressive record than their eleven of last fall. To date they have been defeated but once and that occurred last week when they were nosed out by the Crack Tar Heel team of North Carolina. They have chalked up victories over some of the best teams on the South- ern Conference list and are anxious to add the Generals scalp to their list. Their team has several members of their last years freshman outfit hold- ing down regular posts. Their last year yearling outfit will be remem- bered as being the only team able to defeat the Washington and Lee Little Generals who were supposed to have been Coach Eddie Parks Davis’ great- est first year outfit in many years. The Generals after dropping two hard fought, heart-breaking clashes to Kentucky and West Virginia on their trip last week, are out for re- venge. Coach Smith will undoubted- ly again start his little varsity which by its speed and cleverness has more and more developed into the regular team. Everyone is in first class shape and dropped them through the basket flashy style during practice yester- day afternoon. I Students Conduct Reported Good Conduct of students during the re- cent set of dances was, on the whole, very satisfactory, according to Dr. L. J. Desha, chairman of the faculty committee on social functions and E. H. Miller, president of the student body. With very few exceptions, order on the dance floor was very good.

Some- times it’s a murderer stretching the hemp upon the scaffold—it may be in the struggling of a steer recently lassoed by a dex- terous cowboy. Or it may be in the case of an ordinary cur dog jogging down Washington street with a rope- leash trailing along behind him. Such a sight aroused the pro- tective instinct in a freshman last Monday as he interrupted, the canine’s course and essayed to escort him to the warmth of the dormitory hearth. His good intentions were soon given “walking papers”, however, as a very, very dark African male brunette suddenly appeared from nowhere, and insisted that the course of the dog was to be under his pilotage. The fresh- man relinquished his claims im- mediately without presqing the suit. Life with a rope about its neck is not near so appealing to the freshman n0w—at least, not with the possibility of the appearance of approaching darkness. ___0___ Commends Speaker To W. & L.

During my three year course in Union Theological Sem- inary, Dr. Thompson was one of our greatest inspirations, both in the class room and socially. Three years ago Dr. Thompson was selected by the Central China Conference Com- mittee to hold a series of conferences in various important centers in China. Rumor has it that he was given at- tractive offers by Duke University in their Religious Education Depart- ment, but that his loyalty to the Semi- nary Work in Virginia forced him tow decline. “Dr. Thompson is the one man in my entire acquaintance that I have been most anxious to have the W. & L. students meet, and I can have no greater wish for the men here than that many men come to know him threw Mitchell (W.

Harper and Broth- ers, Publishers. In this day of profusion of cheap novels and cheap literature, one must search long and diligently to find something which is really new and refreshing. When such a search is rewarded the result usually stands out among its contemporaties like a ten dollar gold piece among a handful of pennies. Such a book is “A Presi- dent is Born.” Fannie Hurst has attempted some- thing which, so far as I know has never been tried before-—the idealis- tic and fictitious biography of a fu- ture President of the United States. Throughout history nations in trouble and confusion have ever looked for a “Man of Destiny” to lead them back into peace and harmony, and such a man is David Schuyler, the future president. He is born in Centralia, Ohio, the son of a strudy pioneer family. He soon evidences an inquir- ing trait, and a desire to know some- thing about everything, which charac- teristic is ably developed by Henry Schuyler, his brother. His education- al advantages are small, due to the financial collapse of his family in his boyhood, but his desire for knowledge serves him in good stead.. At last he decides to study law, and leaves home to pursue this career at the city night school. Miss Hurst has wisely not attempt- ed to give more than a vague sugges- tion of David’s political career. This she accomplishes through a unique method. The story is supposedly written from the diary of David’s sister, Re- bekka, and what little of his political career is told is given in notes from her diary at the bottom of the pages of the book. David’s life is actually told only up to the time he leaves home to study law. There is no sug- gestion of partisanship or politics, but only pure and unselfish Ameri- canism and statesmanship, and in this lies the greatest appeal of the book. Suggested reforms are there, it is true, but only those questions which are recognized by thinking citizens as needing settling. V There is one weak point in the book, however. In her desire to char- acterize the entire Schuyler family, the author has gone too far. The characterizations are so strong, and so much is told about each, that the reading becomes somewhat dull at times, and occasionallythe character of David, which should be preeminent, seems subordinated. This is the one defect which mars an otherwise splen- didly written and exceedingly worth- while story.—-R. H. W. _____()M_ Publicity Plan for Ball Evolved An extensive publicity plan for Fancy Dress has been followed out and is still under way by the uni- versity news service under Professor R. B. Ellard with the assistance of W. B. Hill, B. F. Evans and V. C. Jones. Stories of eight hundred words were sent to twenty newspapers be- fore the event. Pictures of Miss Ath- lein Benton and Miss Harrriet Dun- lap of Sweet Briar have been publish- ed by The Richmond Times Dispatch. Also, pictures, of the leaders of Junior Prom have been published in the R0- anoke World News. A final story of the ball of about six hundred words is being sent to two hundred and twenty newspapers over the country. Fourteen of them will get pictures of the figure leaders and a few of the more striking costumes. All the pho- tographs were taken by White Studio, to whom exclusive rights were given. 'WRoy G. Nichols,E‘27 To Study Music In Big Hubbard Studio Roy G. Nichols, ‘27, president of the University Glee Club while a stu- dent here, recently left his home in Norfolk for Boston, Mass., where he will study for concert and opera, a recent announcement in Norfolk pap- ers stated. Since graduating here he has been studying in Norfolk, and has served as a member of the Christian Temple choir and baritone soloist in the Park Place Baptist church there. Walter F. Greenwood, under whom Nichols has been studying recently, remarked as follows in commenting on his chances for success: “With serious study Mr. Nichols should go far. He is entering the Hubbard Vocal Studios of Boston, where many of our great singers have received their education. His theoretical training will be at the New England Conservatory of Music. After finishing his vocal education he will go to Europe to" study for opera in France and Italy. I have great confidence in his success.” Nichols first showed promise as an artist seven years ago as one of the baritone soloists at Christ church, un- der the direction of Prof. J. J. Miller, with whom he studied at that time. He was presented in concert by Pro- fessor Miller in Norfolk and other towns in Virginia. On entering Washington and Lee University he was elected a member of the university Glee Club. He was elected to the Dramatic club and took prominent parts in the cast, as well as solos, in four musical comedies, presented by the troubadours. _____0_____ Fund New Bridge Drive is Launched A new drive is being launched by the Class Bridge Fund committee to secure money to meet the large final payment to the contractors. Form let- ters, urging payment of past dues on pledges, are being sent out by V. E. Kemp, secretary, and an effort is be- ing made to collect as much as pos- sible. Verbon Kemp stated that “a large amount of money will be needed, since a great many of those who pledged their support have not sent in their money when it was due.

It is expected that this work will be started within the next two weeks. The original contract did not specify approaches, but these will be consturc- ted according to the elaborate plans of the architects drawings which were on exhibit for some time at the Corner. R. L.

March 4, 1927 Larus & Bro. Co., Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: Recently I stopped in a little village that consisted of about nine houses and a small hotel, which I entered. A little old man wearing a skull cap was seated in a rocking-chair smoking an enormous pipe. I had come to buy :1 can of Edgeworth, but when I caught a whiff of the tobacco he was smoking I changed my mind. The aroma of that tobacco was so delightful that I made up my mind right then and there v that I wanted some of the same brand. regardless of the cost. i . I began with: ‘‘I beg your pardon, sir, but I came in to buy a can of to- bacco, and I would like the same brand you are smoking if you don’t mind telling me.” He looked at me for a moment, grasped his pipe with one hand and said: “I’m smoking Edge- worth. Would you like some?" Of course I did, and I secured a supply from the old fellow. The joke, of course, was on me, but I went on ‘ my way rejoicing. Yours very truly, Dr. John R. Koch Edgeworth 1,5 Extra High Grade .‘ Smoking Tobacco AT THE LYRIC WEDNESDAY. FEB.
