Blue and White Five Determined to i Maintain Clean State Record Coach Smith left this morning for Blacksburg with his Blue and White court squad where they will attempt to duplicate their last month’s victory when they oppose the V. P. I. Gobbl- ers tonight. The Techmen have slipped badly since their appearance in Lexington sorne weeks ago and are running a bad last in the fight for the State championship. Despite decisive de- feats at the hands of the Generals, V. M. 1., and two from the Virginia Cavaliers the Techmen have managed to get in some sensational playing against other opponents in in-between moments. The Gobi:-lers conqueited Alabama’s Crimson Tide, which gain- ed an extra period, one—po.int victory, over the Generals two nights later. They also outplayed and outscored the Duke Blue Devils for the first half of their game last week, but lacked the stamina to hold the lead. Coach Moore has been greatly handicapped by the loss of Captain Mike Pearman, sensational little guard of the Blacksburg outfit. Pear-‘ man is still in the hospital convalesc- ing from an appendicitis operation, and his absence is one which is giving Moore considerable trouble in attcmpt ing to find a capable substitute. The Gobbler mentor is trying out several different combinations in an effort to make up for the loss. Consequently it is impossible to prrdict the Tech opening line-up. The Generals will go into the clash with their full strength. Both big and little varsities are in excellent shape and either are ready to start. Coach Smith, however, may use a combination of the two as was done against Duke last Wednesday night. The Generals will enter the gam: decided favorites and are out to keep their slate clean against state op- ncnents. A victory will make the clash with Virginia on the night of the February 21 the deciding game for the state championship as the Gen- erals and Cavaliers are the only two quintets in the state to boast nothing but victories to date against Virgin- ia opponents. —-———0 Blue Matmen to Oppose Davidson Conquerors of Carolina to Be Gen- erals Competition Monday Night Here The Washington and Lee matmen engage the strong contingent from Davidson College in the gym on Mon- day evening, February 13, at 7:30. Lit- tle is known of the strength of David- son’s team except, that only a short time ago, they swamped the Univers- ity of North Carolina’s wrestlers, the score being 18 to 3. This would in- dicate that they have very good out- fit, but since defeating the University of Virginia, the General matmen are looking for new worlds to conquer, and plan to give Davidson a real scrap. The definite line-up has not yet been given out, and will be settled after the tryouts Friday night. Gresham and Holland are the 115 lb. candidat- es. Gresham is naturally favored to win because of his recent victories at Virginia and elsewhere, but Holland is still in the running. Thompson or Nelson will fight in the 125 lb. class. Thompson has here- tofore been the chosen candidate, but Nelson has shown a great deal of im- provement lately and is expected to give Thompson a close battle. Davis or Pomeroy will wrestle in the 135 lb. division. Tully, who has completely recovered from his slight illness, will wrestle in the 145 lb sec- tion. Madison (158), Captain Seligman or Rosenberg (175, and Hughes (Un- limited) complete the team. Coach Mathis would make no definite state- ‘ ment, but is very optimistic and seems to feel that the team is “right.” __:0j_L Officers ofthe Graham-Lee Society for this semester are as follows: 3 President, N.

B. degree. her “medieval” requirements for By next year radical changes will rock the present curriculum if the campaign now being carried on by cer- tain leading members of the faculty proves successful. Dr. Henry Louis Smith has appointed three committees to study the A. B. requirements here, comparing them to the re- quirements in other universities. One committee comes from the faculty, a second from the students and alumni, and a third is composed of educational experts To judge from present comment among the faculty, the requirements almost sure to be changed are those of languages and mathematics. Few- er hours required in the language group, and the placing of Freshman mathematics on all elective basis are changes expected. In the Alumni Building is a library of catalogs from the best known universities in the East, South, and Wrst, along with the latest books on tendencies in modern college educa- tion. Here the committees will study the A. B. curricula in other universi- ties before suggesting changes here. Fifty Years’ Similarity “For fifty years W. and L. has kept the same general require- ments for the A. B. degree, with emphasis on foreign language syntax to the virtual exclusion of the newer natural sciences—En- glish and Journalism. In the nie-antirne over a score of new subjects have crept into what the catalog calls “Group 2” and “Group 3,” without any corres- ponding change in the number of hours from each group that is re- quired for a degree. That is the trouble, as one faculty member expressed it recently. President Smith queries before ‘a Some days ago laid the following faculty meeting: “The only general four year degree now offered is Bachelor of Arts, with from outside W. and L. its medieval requirements in foreign ,* syntax and pure math. “Why no general Bachelor of Sci- ence degree? “Group one foreign languages, in- cludes seven subjects, with a total of fifty-two semester courses offered. “Yet every student seeking a gen- eral four-year college training must take a minimum of 24 to 30 semester hours, viz., four to five years of study in this small group. “Group two includes English lan- ,guage and literature, and 13 other subjects, offering over 130 semester courses in history, politics, sociology, education, commerce, finance, etc. “Yet the only requirements for the 1A. B. degree are one elementary year in English composition and only eigh- teen semester—hours in all the rest. “Group 8 includes mathematics and seven different sciences, with labora- tories offering 109 semester courses. The requirements for all students are one year of college mathematics and only 18 semester hours of all the nat- ural sciences. Would Decrease Electives “Considering the practical impor- tance to every American of biology, ‘chemistry, electricity, meterology, and mechanics, upon which our daily health and work depend, should tri- , gonometry cut all the rest down to 18 semester hours? Why not require 24 hours as at present, but let the stu- ,dent select those which best suit his ’ (Continued on Page 3) Sixty M en Fall Under Automatic and Sixteen Make F()rt_v-I<‘ou_1' Freshmen Old Men Failed to Requirements A total of sixty men were caught by the automatic rule at mid-term. Forty-four of the men to whom this rule was applied were freshmen and the remaining sixteen were upper classmen. Of the sixteen old men to fall under the rule, only seven were reinstated in the University. Most of the fresh- men were reinstated, however. Some of the men who were permitted to en- ter the University again under proba- tion from the semester automatic rule were reinstated for the entire semest- er, while others were given until mid- semester to make up their work. The semester automatic rule for all students reads as follows: A student automatically severs his connection with the University if, on any semester report, he fails to pass in nine semester hours of work or receives grade F in six semester hours. There are several reasons for rein- statement which are plausible enough to permit a student to resume his studies in the University. Among these reasons there are two outstand- ing~if a student has never fallen under the automatic ruling before, his chances for reinstatment are good, . Troubadours To Hold Try Outs Plans Are Being Made for Production of “The Butter and Egg Man” The Troubadours will hold try-outs for their annual spring show Tuesday night at 7:30 in the Economics room of Neweomb Hall, according to an an- nouncement made yesterday by Tom- my Thames, president and Toot Gib- son, business manager, of the organ- ization. The show for this spring will be “The Butter and Egg Man”, which recently finished a run in New York after scorzing one of the biggest suc- cesses in the history of the comedy stage. Thames secured the play through Stuart Walker, former stage manager for David Belasco, Mr. Walk- er having helped the president secure “Easy Come, Easy Go” last fall for its first amateur college presentation. Since this play or one of its charac- ter, a stock play, will have to be used on account of lack of chorus material and a chorus-trainer, Thames and Gibson have secured quite a material reduction from the usual royalty. This was secured by having Samuel French, the releasors, communicate with the ,authors of the play on behalf of the lTroubadours. Special permission to lshow in towns heretofore having the 3 right reserved for local stock compani- es was also obtained, so that with an and if his low grades are E's instead 3 itinerary of good show towns, the of F’s he has another chance to make up his work before the end of the fol- lowing semester.

IMPORTANT NOTICE Regular University Assembly The next regular University Assembly will be held on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13th in the GYMNASIUM. Attendance The speaker is Mr. ARTHUR RUGH, for many years the Asiatic Secretary of the International Y. M. C. A., who is now His subject is “Some International Problems of Today.” 9:00, 9:45. 10:30, 11:15, 12:00 the exercises of the Assembly beginning promptly at ONE schedule wil be carried out on ‘Baby Generals Swamp Quint From Virginia‘ Captain Williams Stars as Blue and White Yearlings Win Eighth Straight The Washington and Lee freshmen basketball team proved too much for the Cavalier ycarlings in Doremus gymnasium Thursday night when the locals passed, dribbled, and shot all around the Virginia quint for a 63-to- 25 walk-way. With Captain Williams Cox, Jacobs and Hanna leading the scoring procession, the Little Generals left Virginia in a daze under an avalanche. of field goals. Cox started off the fireworks with four double ringers before the battle was three minutes old. Then “Snake” Williams and Red Hanna began to find the hoop. The Cavaliers, thrown into confusion by the first outburst, began to settle down to a desperate but futile defense which they kept up until the last quarter. At the begin- ning of the second ten-minute period, the Little Generals were off again and at half-time had piled up 36 points while their opponents had to be con- tent with ten. The climax ofthe freshman offense came immediately after half time. Jacobs went in for Cox, and Coach Davis’ quint even surpassed its first half exhibition by rolling up 21 more markers before the time’s whistle end- ed the quarter. During the last peri- od, the game changed into a rough. open-floor struggle. The Washing- ton and Lee offense had done its work, and Virginia began a fast attack which brought their total to 25 be- fore the end of the game. The Washington and Lee floor work was beautiful. A great majority of the points were registered from beneath the basket after lightning pass work down the floor. Williams gathered nine field goals and three free tosses during the evening and played a beautiful floor game, while Cox also rang the bell nine times, eight of them coming during the first half, Hanna accounted for 10 mark- ers, and Jacobs, although he saw ser- vice only in the eventful third quar- ter, bagged five counters from the floor and one from the charity linc. Pilley and Faulkner were all that could be desired in the guarding jobs. McClees was the high point man for Virginia with eight of his team’s total, but Austin and Mennillo played (Continued on Page 3) ?€0__j Fifth Annual Prep Tourney Coming March 1, 2 and 3 Dates Set For Yearly Preparatory Basket- hall Classic The Fifth Annual High School and Prep School Tournament sponsored by Washington and Lee University will be held in the Doremus gymnasium on March 1, 2, and 3.

The team from Carolina was undoubtedly the fast- est and best shooting outfit seen in Lexington this season. The Generals played a crack game and need offer no alibis; the extra speed and smooth- ness of the invaders was enough to give them an edge. Captain Spotts and his men fought all the way to the finish, and this was the only reason the Durham team’s victory was not more decisive. Coach Smith changed his line-up to make a combination of his big and little varsities, starting off with Capt. Spotts, Wood and Lowry from the lit- tle team, and Howe and White from the heavy five. From the opening whistle the game was fast and furious with both teams dropping in sensa- tional shots. The Generals jumped into the lead by brilliant teamwork and clever shooting at the very start. Spotts, White and Lowry sunk them in a row before the visitors got go- ing. From then on it was a see-saw affair with both teams shooting in spurts. Before the end of the half Duke spurted to the front and was out in front at the half by a six point margin with the score 27-21. The second half was practically a duplication of the first. The Blue Devils added 26 to their total while the Generals were again held to six less than their opponents. Individual playing featured the bril- liancy of Werber for the visitors and Captain Spotts for the home team. Werber started off at a guard post but was soon shifted to center to watch the Generals’ star. Werber was just about a match for Babe, being Spotts’ first opponent all season to outscore him, counting for twenty- two points on ten baskets and two free tries. Babe was held to six from the floor but dropped in seven out of eight from the foul line, totalling nineteen in all. The floorwork of Ernie Wood for the Generals was sensational. Wood covered the entire court at top speed without a let-up. Duke’s main threats besides Werber were Jankoski, re- membered as thcir plunging full back last fall, and Councillor who helped out with the defense although playing forward.

We are always glad to publish any communications that may be handed to us, but no unsigned correspondence will be published. COLLEGE-EDUCATED JOURNALISTS i COLLEGE men are playing a big part in the newspaper field, an editorial in a recent issue of the Iowa State Journalist shows. The editorial, in part, follows: “Sneered at in the past. jibed at often, the college man never- theless has arrived. He is taking the high places in the worid’s work. Many surveys have proved it. The Wharton School of Fi-, nance and Commerce publishes the results of a survey which scorn '2 to establish the fact that the college man is taking the high places 5 in journalism. ; 1 “Newspaper publishers used to say that they could teach jo-urn-l alism to a young man fresh from a delivery wagon in as short time as to a young man from college. They knew then that this: was an exaggerated statement; and they know now that such a; statement is untrue. “The Pennsylvania survey shows that of the 340 inch filliiig; positions on seventy leading dailies as managing editor, chief eC:i—‘ torial writer, city editor, news editor, or head copyreader, 218» were found to be college men. The managing editors made 68 per cent of the total, 340; chief editorial writers, 77 per cent; city edi- tors, 70 per cent; news editors, 51 per cent and copy desk heads, 51 per cent. “There is encouragement in these figures. The ci'i'Licisms of; the editors represented in the survey, however, also should be taken into account. l 1 “They say that the college men are admittedly better writersi and editors than the non—college men; but they are not so good as 3 ‘: reporters. They do not know how to get the news, or they do notj - care to get it. They have an ambition to write, or to edit the l’l{)W:<, ‘ but not to be painstaking investigators of the facts that make the‘, news.” 0 FUTURE TEAMS l i I i l HE WORK of freshmen athletic teams at Washington and Lecl this year has been highly commendable. Judging from the. quality of the teams produced so far, the Blue and White vareities in the various sports will have no shortage of promising can-:li—g dates next year contesting for positions. The men who will gradu- ate from the freshman ranks this year may not be able to step? right into stellar roles, but they will compose a wonderful reserve‘ for varsity teams and will eventually fill the ranks which are left open by graduation of older athletes. Intense training of freshman athletes in the same systems of play employed by the varsities is the prime requisite in preparing athletes for future duty on Big Blue Teams. In this way future varsity athletes are familiarized with certain systems. and are not required to learn it all over‘ again. If coming freshman athletic teams keep up to the standardl set by the “frosh” teams of the present school year, varsity teams of the future will have no cause to worry. The system has worked, and will continue to do so.—W. M. G. {X U CURRICULAR REFORM ELSEWHERE l URRICULAR reform is again engaging student attention in several colleges. The undergraduate reformers have taken fair notice of the criticisms overflowing current periodicals, and have adopted a vigorous style in attacking their campus problems. .2 The University of Washington Daily, after publishing a series of student criticisms of the university and its work, has summar- ized by blaming the faculty “for the lack of intellectual stimulus and study encouragement prevalent on the campus.” The main draw-back it conceives as “the appalling over—emphasis on activi- ties for activity’s sake, that insistence on activities at Washington which results in the average Collegian striving to be an activity hound from freshman days to the end of college.” The faculty is blamed for having failed to eliminate superfluous activities, and the Daily presents the problem as one for the teachers to solve. President C. D. Gray, of Bates College, has appointed a student committee of twelve to examine the curriculum and suggest modi- fications and changes. These students will carry on the work be- gun by a senior committee last year. Three other groups are working on the same problem, one composed of teachers, another of alumni, and a third, serving as advisory, of outsiders. Students in the College for Women at Western Reserve Univer- sity have selected representatives to serve as their agents in pre- senting to the faculty complaints against the curriculum. They are members of the student council, who will work in conjunction with a faculty committee, to whom they will make recommenda- tions after passing on student complaints.

Curriculum (Continued from Page 1) purpose and life work? “Why should every student be for- bidden to take public speaking during his freshman year? “Do not the very numerous and arbitrary “prerequisites” harmfully limit a desirable elective freedom? Why not let these “prerequisites” be in most cases only “advised,” instead of being made compulsory? “The excessive foreign syntax and mathematics requirements for the on- ly cultural or general degree given (A. B.) practically destroy the School of Journalism, and make it almost impossible for social workers, public school teachers, and ministers to ob- tain the four year training in the so- cial sciences, English, and public speaking they ought to take toward their degree. If the foreign language minimum were placed at one or two years and trigonmetery made elective would not all these and scores of oth- ers be able to choose a more valuable and wiser course than is now avail- able to them?” Studying Five Problems The committees appointed by Presi- dent Smith are working on five local educational problems. Within a few days they will present suggested changes for the vote of the faculty The problems follow: PROBLEM NO. 1 For non-vocational students de- siring a general four-year col- lege education Washington and Lee offers only one degree, the A. B., with a required minimum of four years of foreign langu- age and one year of college mathematics. Should not a general B. S. de- gree be offered for those students whose aptitudes and perferences lean toward the natural or social science? PROBLEM NO. 2 The A. B. is the special cultur- al degree of the American college. A college A. B. graduate who is either totally ignorant of English literature or unable to write or speak correct English is certain- ly neither cultured nor well-edu- cated. Our present A. B. requirements in the English language, in its spoken and written use, and in its varied literature, are confirm- ed to one single freshman year of elementary rhetoric and composi- tion, and the B. S. requirements is the same. Is this either educationally wise or in accord with the present standards and practice of other first-class American universities of our type? PROBLEM NO. 3 For the attainment of our on- ly general, non-vocational degree, the A. B. is it in accordance with present-day practice and for the best interests of our students to require of all matriculates with- out exception a minimum of eight successful years of foreign-langu- age study, four in the high school and four more at college? For students entering with fif- teen units and no conditions would not two years of foreign language before graduation be an ample minimum for the general A. B. degree? PROBLEM NO. 4 Nearly a half-century ago all the undergraduate courses of that day were divided into three “Groups,” which were rated as of of equal educational importance, (See catalogue, 1927, pp. 88-94, 98-99, etc.) Since then Group III has been much enlarged and Group II has been multiplied at least fourfold in courses, instructors, and range of subject-matter taught. Have not these changes and the demands of a new era made a re-grouping both wise and nec- essary? What present-day division of our present-day academic courses would you secommend? PROBLEM NO. 5 We at present offer a B. S. de- gree to students who during their Redu On all Cash FASHION PARK, MICHAEL STEARN and KIRSHBAUM CLOTHES. MALLORY and BOSTONIAN SHOES. J. ED.

M. A.' The Frosh swimmers were defeated by a close marginv33 to 31 by Ran- dolph Macon Academy at Bedford Monday. This was the second meet for Coach Twombly’s men and al- though they were nosed out by the cadets they showed a marked im-_ provement over their initial meet! with A. M. A. last Friday. Zachary was high point man fori the Little Generals with two first‘ places to his credit in the breast-. stroke and backstroke. Among his! teammates, Hobson was the only oth- . er to score a first place in the 220% yard dash. Martin and Janke also} showed up well for the locals. l A return meet with A. M. A. here? is scheduled for an early date and thel‘ men are working hard to average the: defeat administered them by the ca- : dets earlier in the season. l .____o______. FIVE ARE CONFINED AT HOSPITAL NOW The five men who are under con- finement at the hospital now are: D. N. Conn, R. J. Bolton, Gregg Kurth, H. C. Martin, and H. D. Stowe. All the men except Bolton are suffering with bad colds or mild cases of grip- pe. Bolton is trouble with sore throat and carbuncles. Albion Dunn, cadet from Staunton Military Academy, who has been in the hospital here for three weeks with a fractured skull, is getting along much better. He received the injury when the car, in which he was riding, turned over onthe Staunton road. The cadet was coming to see some of his friends here when the accident occur- red. 0 HORSE RACING SPONSORED That horse racing, long dormant in Virginia, may soon be revived, is the prospect assured a committee spon- sored by Norfolk interests with this object in view. A bill to permit racing' with pari-mutuel betting in those communities that wish it has been favorably reported by a Senate com-. mittee, and is assured of backing in the legislature. It will meet with some opposition, however, from the prohi- bition and reform forces, which are already up in arms.

Crenshaw, 145 pound, lost by a decision after a close battle, which appeared to be a draw according to spectators. Faulkn- er, heavyweight, who won by a knock- out in the last match with S. M. A., was greatly handicapped by a disabl- ed hand, which made it impossible for him to “mix it up.” After three rounds of distance sparring, his op- ponent, Smith, was awarded the bout by decision. Although the freshmen were handicapped by disabilities and the absence of one of the boxers, the S. M. A. team showed up much bet- ter than in their last match with the “Little Generals” which they lost. The following is a list of the fight- ers and decisions: 115 pound class—Forfeited to S. M.

Alumni News Wants V. M. I. To Live University, Feb. 2.—Carrying out of the proposal first to weaken and then to abolish Virginia Military In- stitute as a state school would be a calamity, according to an editorial contained in the current issue of the University of Virginia Alumni News which is now being mailed out to university graduates. “It would bring shame upon the general assembly responsible for it, and this feeling would permeate many other states besides our own commonwealth,” the editorial con- tinues. “V. M. I. must carry on, carry on with even greater distinction than in the past, and carry on if the money required must be begged, borrowed or stolen.” “Little or no fault can be found with the educational commission’s recommendations regarding duplica— tions, certain economies, liberal arts education for women, and graduate work. “That pre—medical work should be confined to the university and not du- plicated elsewhere and that no other institution should undertake instruc- tion in law is sound sense. That graduate work should be concern- trated here as well as strengthened admits of no argument. “But with the idea of a chancel- lor for higher education we cannot concur. It would be doubtful if suﬂ“icient compensation would be paid to engage a competent man while if a man of the high ability required were engaged he would be a sort of super—president of all state institu- tions. If such an arrangement ex- isted it is very unlikely that any outstanding man would accept the presidency of the individual institu- tions.” The editorial terms it unforunate that the education commission seems to have been “proceeding on the theory that Virginia is a poor state as to resources and income. Such is far from being true as Governor Byrd’s message to the general as- sembly abundantly proves. ROBERT E. LEE M oa’er7z— Fireproof PRESIDENT BABY l?;UTH C0. PRAISES (It3iil.I<}GIL Best New Yearls resolui_ion Dad could make is to give his son z. an '_v college educating. College education is worth $72,000, This is a 1;-i'ol'it of 1,300 per cent on an original investment of 2v';iS,l)0, whicl. is the average total cost of a four years’ course in college. Deducting the cost of the education itself, the student adds to his future income at the rate of appro:\'in1atel;y $15,000 a year during the Limo he ,is in college. As classes are held only five days a week, this means potential carn- ings of $70 a day to the student tor each spent in the class room. These statements \’\7\ re made by: Otto Y. Schnering, president of thei Baby Ruth Candy Company, who isl an alumnus of the University 01'. Chicago, in an address at Chicago. “A college education is not only‘ very essential in modern business but‘ highly profitable, if the student spends his time in real study,” Mr. S-clier-; ing said. “The annual average ll]-i come of a high school graduate is: $2,200 and that of a college graduate5 $6,000. Total earnings of the twol classes of men up to the age of 601 are approximately placed at $75,000} and $150,000. This gives the collegel graduate a lead of $72,000 over the‘ high school youth. “This is the age of specialization: and scientific management in business in which a college education is becom- ing almost an absolute necessity.” 0 __ Debate to Feature Graham-Lee Program Featuring the Graham-Lee Liter- ary Society program Saturday is a debate: Resolved; that the passing grade in the IV. and L.
