There is a multitude of other ap- plications of computers in our society —some that boggle the mind, others that are more mundane. ‘The recent surge of interest in small calculators which sell for less than $400 reflects another technological step toward making computers available to every person, for these calculators are in fact miniaturized computers. Of course, computers at Washing- ton and Lee are in no case used to replace the teacher; rather, computers augment the teacher’s effectiveness in the classroom. Generally, professors who require complex computations or who otherwise employ statistical analysis of data frequently use com- puters in class or laboratory. Obviously, some faculty have no apparent use for computers, while others find them indispensable in their daily work; one economics professor may teach general theory while another may teach the analysis of economic variables and their interrelationships. One mathematics professor may teach pure abstract algebra, while another may use the same abstractions to illustrate theories of computer structure. As theories advance in sophistica- tion, the physical sciences especially require computers at Washington and Lee to provide quick and accu- rate calculations for class, laboratory, 2 and research use. The social sciences also require the kind of analysis the computer can provide in order to answer a variety of questions about current and historical developments and the patterns they reflect. ‘The concepts of computer logic and operation are themselves a science which some members of the faculty actively pursue. The 1130 The University’s general-purpose computer system, the IBM 1130, is used about half by academic depart- ments and half by administrative divisions. About 100 students a year take courses in computer program- ming; perhaps 200 students take other courses during each year in which computers are used in class. Advanced students are given the opportunity to learn operation of the computer, advanced programming languages, and computer design under the University’s independent study programs, without academic Prof. Robert B. Brownell aids student in planning program. WeL Computers at WoL Dr. Robert A. Roberts and students reflect on by providing physical convenience; with terminals nearby, students can process data while experiments are being conducted. Classes in economics, political science, mathematics, and the physical sciences use the “mini-computer”’ regularly for class computation. In mathematics, for instance, classes in numerical analysis are able to implement theories they have de- veloped in class; they can investigate not merely the methods by which solutions are reached but also the validity of the data produced by the computer. Such knowledge of com- puter-generated error is essential in advanced applications (in spacecraft control, for example). Problems can in fact be posed in class, the answers to which no computer can determine 4 a problem in computer science. with very much accuracy—even while theory indicates that there are unique answers. The availability of the “‘time-shared” system is invaluable in this particular application, since it permits students to experiment with computations and to watch as theoretical results are verified. Some classes use the IBM 1130 to consolidate information and then the ‘““mini-computer” to analyze selected portions of the data. ‘This flexibility improves the efficiency of computer usage and at the same time teaches students detailed analytical methods. The “mini-computer” is valuable also in personal research; it permits professors and students alike to investigate computer logic, structure, and design even while other academic or administrative work is being performed by the larger computer. The “mini-computer” will further serve as “interpreter” for the Min- uteman computers awarded the physics and chemistry departments as well. In short, computers are very much a part of the Washington and Lee educational process. It is estimated that between 30 and 50 per cent of the student body will employ one or another of the University’s computers during their undergradu- ate careers. Ihe computers make possible advanced research by stu- dents and faculty, and offer every student the opportunity to become familiar with the machines he will certainly encounter some day in the near future. WeL Nosecone computers: a bargain at $/1 each Washington and Lee’s newest comput- ers were almost thrown away by their original owner before they were used even a single time. The computers used to reside in the nosecones of two Minute- man missiles. But some time ago, the gov- ernment decided to replace that genera- tion of defense weaponry with some more sophisticated equipment, and very nearly dispatched the old stuff to the scrap pile. But each nosecone computer had cost more than a quarter of a million dollars in the beginning, and even the govern- ment had second thoughts about junking perfectly good equipment that had cost that much. So instead it gave it all away. The Defense Department first made very, very sure that the Minuteman pro- grams were completely erased from each computer’s memory, and then gave col- leges and universities the opportunity to haul them away. And so it was that the W&L physics and chemistry departments acquired two funny-shaped but important new additions to their computer facili- ties—for a mere $70.98, the cost of ship- ping them to Lexington from their old homes in missile silos. To be sure, the new machines are a bit slower than the University’s big IBM 1130 computer — .000078 seconds per operation for the new ones, as against -0000032 seconds for the IBM (that’s four zeroes versus five). But even s0, Washington and Lee’s scientists think they got a bargain. The new computers will be exceptionally useful both in teaching and in research, according to Dr. Edward F. Turner, Jr., physics pro- fessor and department head. Having been originally designed to control a Spaceship, the computers are particularly well suited for controlling March, 1973 and monitoring sophisticated laboratory instruments where absolute precision is essential, Dr. Turner points out. They will be valuable, for instance, in nuclear measurement and in measurement of energy impulses, he notes, and can be programmed to discriminate among vari- ous kinds of stimuli which occur both simultaneously and over an extended period of time. They can also perform the same functions as the big IBM — computation so complex that it cannot be done in any other way and sophisticat- ed data analysis. There remains one hitch, though: nose- cone computers don’t speak your usual computer language. Their “alphabet,” so to speak, has just eight characters, and they have to be talked to in their own peculiar way. So a Washington and Lee mathematics professor, Dr. Robert A. Roberts, is developing a special transla- tion program which will use another of the University’s computers. Operators will be able to write programs in a more commonly used computer language such as Fortran, with the regular computer then translating the instructions and data into nosecone-computer language. Nosecone computers require special power supplies too, of course, and an- other W&L math teacher, Dr. Robert B. Brownell, agreed to equip them with their own low-voltage, high-current DC And the physics and chemistry departments, with student as- sistance, are building keyboards and con- trol panels too. So they do indeed demand a lot of special treatment. But, the W&L scien- tists, agree it’s still not a bad deal for $71. —R.S.K. power sources. Dr, Edward F, Turner with Minuteman computer. (Above, detail of circuits). The W&L coat of arms a blend of heraldry Reprinted from a 1931 Alumni Magazine The first analytical study of Washington and Lee University’s coat-of-arms has just been completed. Mrs. D. H. Saunders, of Pine Bluff, Ark., long a student of heraldry, conducted the research and submitted the read- ing to the University. The coat-of-arms has been used by the University since 1902. Dr. William George Brown, professor of Chemistry in 1901, created the shield by quartering the Lee and Washington family arms. He used the Lee mot- to, of the Coton Hall branch—“Non incautus futuri’— (Not unmindful of the future), and the Washington crest—the figure of a bird. In her report, Mrs. Saunders quoted from Segoing, using old French, which is reprinted below. Her report follows: On the first quarter of the shield appears the Latin motto, “Omnia autem probate,’ which may be trans- lated, “Everything, but proved.” Heraldry is rather a fanciful, fantastic science; and the meaning of the metals and colors are rendered ac- cording to a quaint old French book, published in Paris in 1652; the author is C. Segoing. “C. Segoing.—Mercure armorial enseignment Les Prin- cipes et elemens du Blazon des armoiries, selon L’ordre et les termes qui se practiquent en cette Science.” P. 17 and 18 “Les Metaux et couleurs qui se voyent aux armoiries ont une signication et dentation particu- liere, que je mets icy pour contenter les cruieux.” Ist quarter: (one with the book) Learning and force. 2nd quarter: (Washington) Sincerity, constancy, and deathless courage. 3rd quarter: (Lee) Sagacity, forethought, and justice, loyalty and good reputation. 4th quarter: (one with rose) Faith and wealth. Never lose sight of the military origin of heraldry. The very names “armory” and “escutcheon” and “‘coat- of-arms” should serve as a perpetual reminder. “Armory” of course, indicates the connection of heraldry with arms or weapons of war, “escutheon” and “coat-of-arms” are terms which arose from the fact that heraldic devices were stamped or painted upon the shields or “escusson” and embroidered upon the “‘cotte 6 d’armes,” a textile garment worn over the armor, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The term escutheon is from old French, escut, shield. The official Records of Courts-of-Arms are kept in written form, not in form of design, as is commonly sup- posed. The language is a sort of lingua-franca, moreover, many of the words are so abbreviated as to be quite un- intelligible to the lay mind. These records describe three things: (1) the color of the shield and its parts, if parted; (2) the name, number and colors of the devices on the shield, called charges; (3) the crest and its color. These are the three essential features. The motto, if there be one, is recorded, but mottoes are alterable at the will of the bearer, a fact not generally known. From the above it will be seen that the records do not specify the shape of the shield; hence it may be of any shape. That is entirely a matter of taste. There are two non-essential features of a complete escutheon called “accessories,” namely the helmet and the mantle (also called mantlings, or lambrequin). Though not strictly necessary, these add greatly to the dignity and beauty of a painting. The origin of the man- tle was the lined cloak worn by knights to keep off the weather; it hung from the helmet. It is the mantle which permits the beauty and grace of the coat-of-arms to be brought out, and it should be of the prevaling color and metal of the shield. | The true star of heraldry (estoile) has six wavy points, Mullets, or stars of five points, signify shining virtue; some authorities say the mullet is a knight’s spur, but unfortunately it was used before the invention of spur- rowels, and so is of uncertain origin. The mullet is also used as a mark of distinction for cadency (descent or re- lated families or younger son); the label is for the eldest son, the crescent for the second son, and the mullet for the third son. The border (the ermine on the fourth quarter) is an augmentation of honor. The billet (Lee arms) is a small parallelogram us- ually borne in numbers and set up on end; where there are several, the armorial is described as “billetty’ (bil- lette). The billet is one of a number of “sub-ordinate WeL Campus News ODK-Lee’s Birthday Convocation: a day of honors and memories Washington and Lee combined its Lee’s Birthday Convocation this year with the annual Omicron Delta Kappa “tap- ping” ceremonies, and by common consent it was “a very nice day.” Charles R. McDowell, Jr., columnist and Washington correspondent for the Richmond Times-Dispatch and a 1948 W&L graduate, was the speaker, bringing his audience reminiscences of his life as a boy in Lexington and a cogent analysis of the 1972 national election. Three noted Washington and Lee alumni and a leader among W&L par- ents were initiated into honorary mem- bership in ODK. Also “tapped” were five law students and 15 undergraduates. ODK is the national founded at Washington and Lee in 1914. leadership fraternity It now has chapters on more than 100 campuses. McDowell is a son of Mrs. Catherine McDowell of Lexington, secretary of the W&L School of Law, and the late Prof. Charles McDowell, Sr., who taught law at W&L for 42 years until his death in 1968. The younger McDowell was “tap- ped” into ODK while a student at the University. He is the author of three books and has had a distinguished ca- reer in journalism. The alumni honored were: William B. Hopkins of Roanoke, ’42, majority leader of the Virginia State Sen- ate, lawyer, a leader of the moderate Democratic forces in Virginia, and a former Democratic National Committee- man; Dr. Harry Lyons of Richmond, ’22, who was dean of the Medical College of Vir- ginia School of Dentistry from 1951 until his retirement in 1970 and a past presi- dent of the American Dental Association, the American College of Dentists, and 8 Sen. William B. Hopkins Richard H. Turrell the Virginia State Dental Association; Richard H. Turrell of Short Hills, N. J., '49, senior vice president and treasurer of New York Fiduciary Trust Co., director of Lehigh Portland Cement Co., director and treasurer Simons-Rock Co., past presi- dent of the Washington and Lee Alumni Association and of the Robert E. Lee As- sociates, a group of dedicated W&L sup- porters. Also honored was Richard T. Scruggs of Birmingham, a past president of the Richard T. Scruggs Washington and Lee Parents’ Council, president of Vulcan Metals Products Co. and vice president of Alabama Metal Co. and Southern Culvert Co. His son, Rich- ard, Jr., was graduated from W&L in 1970. McDowell discussed the predicaments the national political parties find them- selves in now that the election is over. He made two points: First, that the De- mocrats rose above their own constitu- ency and in so doing abandoned to the Wel Republicans crucial elements of the coali- tion they had put together under Frank- lin Roosevelt in the 1930’s; and second, that although the Republicans won one of the three greatest landslides in history they emerged from the election weaker as a party than when they went in. The main lesson to be gained by the Democrats from the 1972 election, he said, is that they must learn again about coalition. The party cannot make it on “elite liberalism.” The Republicans’ main problem, he said, was their minority Status as a party. He suggested this is be- cause the GOP is “still mainly against things.” McDowell reminded the leaders and future leaders in the audience that “there’s a lot of injustice in the world that needs fixing, a lot of the world’s natural endowment that needs saving fast, plenty of maintenance and repair on the political system that needs doing in both parties. “Leaders of principle really are pre- ferred. They have a better chance in politics than most people seem to ima- gine. But there must be more than prin- ciple. “You must be reasonable enough to re- assure us that you are not a fool, com- passionate enough to understand not just our troubles but our prejudices, hopeful enough to try to lift us out of our pre- judices and self-interest by appealing to the best in us, by showing what we can do together. “We know in our hearts that the main thing we need is each other.” Current students who were elected to membership in ODK were: School of Law—Thomas A.

Only he can truly tell it as he did at the Founders’ Day-ODK Convocation. But it is too good not to try to share it with a larger audience. So with apologies to Charlie and the reader, here it is: Charlie grew up in Lexington, and when he was about 10 years old he was the batboy for the W&L baseball team, then coached by Charlie’s childhood idol, Cap’n Dick Smith. W&L was playing the University of Michigan in an early spring game. Charlie shared the batboy duties with another boy. He had finished working the first half of the game and was walking behind 9 Campus News homeplate as near the distant backstop as he could get, admiring a slightly bro- ken bat he had received for his work. W&L was in bat. The score was tied. Suddenly a loose ball came whizzing up to Charlie. Charlie picked it up. The huge Michigan catcher came charging down on Charlie. Charlie tossed him the ball. The Michigan catcher turned and threw out a W&L runner, who had made the turn at first base. What had happen- ed was that the W&L batter had struck out. The catcher had missed the ball. The W&L runner had run to first and was headed for second. Charlie’s assist to the catcher had enabled Michigan to pick off W&L’s potential winning runner. Cap’n Dick rushed to homeplate. ‘The Michigan coach rushed to homeplate. A terrible argument ensued. And _ there stood 10-year-old Charlie terrified. ‘The question seemed to be whether Charlie was a “natural hazard” or “something that killed the ball when he touched it,” the theory Cap’n Dick advanced. The Michigan coach, pulled out a rule book and cited “a long tortuous passage” about ‘‘a member of the dugout.” If Charlie was a member of the dugout, the Michigan coach argued, then the W&L runner was out. Cap’n Dick objected to such a “strange interpretation” of the rules. Charlie says he will never forget what happened next as long as he lives. The exasperated Michigan Coach said: “Aw, come on, Dick, the kid’s your bat- boy.” And Cap’n Dick, Charlie’s lifelong friend and hero, replied: “I never saw the little s.o.b. before in my life!” (Cap’n Dick says he remembers that he won the argument, but he is not sure who finally won the game.) 10 Dr. Charles F. Phillips in his book-lined office. Nixon Picks Phillips Dr. Charles F. Phillips Jr., professor of economics at Washington and Lee, was named by President Nixon in Decem- ber to a White House commission to evaluate the nation’s policies on gam- bling. The commission is similar to one in Virginia to which Dr. Phillips was ap- pointed in 1971 by Gov. Linwood Hol- ton, 42. Last year that commission voted, with Dr. Phillips in the majority, to re- commend that on-track betting be leg- alized under close state supervision. Dr. Phillips is one of seven public members of the new White House Com- mission. House and Senate leaders will appoint eight additional members to the group. Its report is due in four years. A native of Geneva, N. Y., Phillips earned the B.A. degree cum laude from the University of New Hampshire and the Ph.D. from Harvard University. He was named to the Washington and Lee faculty in 1959 and in 1966 became one of the youngest men to be named full professor at the University. In addition to a full teaching schedule —his fields of academic specialization are basic economic principles, government and business, regulated industries, and business and society—he is a consultant to many of the nation’s leading utilities and other industries whose relations with Washington are particularly complex. Currently he is retained by American the New York Stock Exchange, Virginia Electric and Power, the Chesapeake and Poto- mac Telephone Co., the banking markets section of the Federal Reserve System, Telephone and Telegraph, and eight other major industrial cor- porations. Dr. Phillips is the author of The WeL it says ty . of niversi the x oa o 43 as z e omics on Campus News Washington and Lee professors. The set —New Orleans, approximately 25 years ago — was designed and constructed un- der the supervision of O. K. Barnes, drama instructor at the University. Lee Kahn, assistant drama _ professor and director of the University Theatre (formerly known as the Troubadour Theatre), says he chose Williams’ 1947 play partly for the challenge his actors face in overcoming the Marlon Brando stereotype. Met Opera Broadcasts WLUR-FM, the University’s radio sta- tion, is carrying the full schedule of live opera broadcasts from the Met in New York again this winter and spring. The season began Dec. 9 with a broad- of Verdi's Otello. Operas are broadcast each Saturday afternoon, and the season continues through April 21. WLUR broadcasts seven days a week at 91.5 (FM). The station is a unit of W&L’s journalism and communication’s cast department. Rugel Fund Increased Recently Jon Raymond Rugel’s mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Niel- sen of Midland, Tex., made a sizeable addition to the Jon Rugel Memorial Fund, bringing the value of the fund to nearly $16,000. Jon Rugel graduated from W&L in 1948. As a student, he made an outstand- ing record in campus leadership and in scholarship. He was president of the In- ternational Relations Club, secretary of Phi Eta Sigma, a dormitory counselor, and a member of the Student Body Exe- cutive Committee. He was a member of 12 Jon Rugel Kappa Sigma, Phi Beta Kappa, and Omicron Delta Kappa. After graduation, Jon was an honor student at the School of Advanced Inter- national Studies in Washington, D. C., a branch of Johns Hopkins University. In 1951, he went abroad as a representative of the American Export Lines and was stationed in Genoa, Italy. On his way home for his first vacation, he died aboard ship on Nov. 27, 1953. Members of Jon’s family and a number of friends established a scholarship in his memory to help worthy young men at- tend Washington and Lee. Speakers’ Program Begun The debate team at Washington and Lee has established a speaker’s program under which members will deliver talks or full debates before civic clubs and other organizations. Two of the talks are given by M. An- derson Bradshaw, a senior from Norge, Va., one on the controversial question of the safety of blood transfusions, the other a lively and informative recollection of his experiences at Boys’ State both as a participant and later as a counselor. In addition, Washington and Lee’s de- bate team can be booked to argue both sides of the standard debate topic for nationwide competition this year: wheth- er America needs socialized medical care. There is no charge for talks or de- bates booked through the new program other than travel expenses. Dr. Halford R. Ryan, assistant professor of English, and coach of the debate team, suggests that bookings be made at least a month in advance. Inquiries may be directed to him by phone or mail at W&L. Meanwhile, the debate team brought home two more trophies from the annual Virginia Forensic Association ‘Tourna- ment at William and Mary, in which teams from nine institutions participat- ed.

Turner, professor of history, is the editor of a book of local reminiscences, Mrs. McCulloch’s Stories of Ole Lexington, published in Decem- ber by McClure Press. The book, already a bestseller in Rock- bridge County, is the result of a Robert E. Lee Research project in oral history. Working with Dr. Turner was Daniel S. Shapiro of Richmond, a 1971 cum laude graduate. With the assistance of two current Wel W&L students—Rolf Piranian, a junior from Oreland, Pa., and John F. Zink, a sophomore from Louisville—Dr. Turner transcribed and edited the tapes of Mrs. McCulloch’s conversations into 37 vig- nettes. In his preface, Dr. Turner notes that he was aided by Dr. Sidney M. B. Coull- ing, professor of English, in matters of style. Mrs. McCulloch, who died July 7, 1971, at the age of 94, was born Ruth Ander- son, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam A. Anderson of Lexington. Her father was a member of Washington and Lee’s Board of Trustees for 45 years un- til his death in 1930, and was Rector of the Board from 1914. He was Attorney- General of Virginia from 1902 until 1910 March, 1973 Dr. Charles W. Turner with copy of Mrs. McCulloch’s Stories of Ole Lexington. and also served in the state Senate and as a delegate to the 1901-02 Constitutional Convention. The Lexington chapter of the Associa- tion for the Preservation of Virginia An- tiquities is named for Mrs. McCulloch, who was extremely active in historical or- ganizations in the Rockbridge area. The book is available to alumni at a discount through the W&L_ Bookstore ($4.05 plus postage and sales tax). Dr. Turner, well known in the fields of Civil War and frontier history, is the author of two earlier books, Chessie’s Road, a history of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and Mississippi West, a textbook. He has also written a large number of scholarly and general articles in American history. A member of Washington and Lee’s faculty since 1946, he holds degrees from the Universities of Richmond and Minne- sota. He has been president, board mem- ber and librarian of the Rockbridge His- torical Society and editor of its Proceed- ings. Riegel Book Reissued A major book on propaganda written in 1934 by O. W. Riegel, professor of journalism, has been reissued as part of an important new series on international communications. He is also the author of a review article in the first issue of a new magazine, Film Critic. The book, Mobilizing for Chaos: The New Propaganda, is part of the new 31- volume series just published by Arno Press, a subsidiary of the New York Times. Original publisher of the book was the Yale University Press. In the book, Prof. Riegel first developed the thesis that the media throughout the world were gravely endangered by na- tionalistic governments and big business, which seemed to be increasing their in- fluence and control over communica- tions. Prof. “Berlin: The Three-Headed Bear,’ comments on more Riegel’s article, than a dozen motion pictures screened at the 1972 Berlin Film Festival. He cus- tomarily attends such international cine- ma competitions in Europe and America. Film Critic, the new magazine in which the article appears, is a publication of the American Federation of Film Socie- ties, of which Prof. Riegel is a director. A member of the journalism faculty since 1930, Prof. Riegel is an authority in international communications, especi- ally propaganda and cinematic arts. 13 Athletics McHenry is head football coach; Leslie to direct the offense Athletic Director William D. (Bill) McHenry has become head football coach at Washington and Lee, succeeding E. Graham (Buck) Leslie, who remains on the coaching staff as offensive coordina- tor. The change took place in January, when Leslie asked to be relieved of the head coach’s responsibilities and to be reassigned in the department. He said in a letter to President Robert E. R. Hunt- ley that he had reached his decision “as a result of long and careful considera- tion.” President Huntley appointed McHenry to the post, and McHenry’s first action was to ask Leslie to become offensive co- ordinator and be in charge of the Gen- erals’ offensive backs. “Some of Washington and Lee’s great- est seasons were recorded when Buck was in charge of our offense under the late Lee McLaughlin,” McHenry said. “I am happy that he will be helping me in this same capacity.” President Huntley said he was pleased with the arrangement, adding: “Wash- ington and Lee is fortunate to be able to replace Coach Leslie promptly with a man of Coach McHenry’s demonstrated ability and experience, and I am happy that he has agreed to accept this addi- tional responsibility. We are grateful to be able to retain Coach Leslie in a capa- city in which he has served so splendidly in the past.” McHenry, 40, an outstanding football and lacrosse player at Washington and Lee in 1950-54, was athletic director and head football coach for 10 years at Leb- anon Valley College before becoming the Generals’ athletic director in June, 1971. His football teams at Lebanon Valley compiled a 44-34-1 record, and he won 14 Buck Leslie and Bill McHenry take on new football assignments. one Middle Atlantic Conference Cham- pionship and tied for another. McHenry previously coached at Pennsylvania Mili- tary College and Williams College. Leslie, 47, also a Washington and Lee alumnus, joined the Generals’ football staff in 1959 at a time when W&L had won only two games in four seasons. With Coach McLaughlin, he developed a po- tent offense that brought the Generals’ successive seasons of 3-4-1, 8-0-1, 9-0, 8-1, and 5-3 over the next five years. When McLaughlin died in an accident in mid-August, 1968, Leslie took on the difficult assignment. of directing the team as acting head coach that year. Early in 1969, he was named head coach. His overall record for the past five seasons was 16-28-1. His 1971 team finished strongly, win- ning four of its last five games, including an upset victory over a highly successful Coast Guard Academy team. With a vet- eran team returning for 1972, expecta- tions were high for the Generals’ first winning season since 1967. After an im- pressive opening victory that snapped Westminster College’s 22-game winning streak, the Generals were able to muster only two wins among their remaining eight games. Washington and Lee’s new head coach, McHenry, was an outstanding center on the last of the Generals’ football teams to compete in the NCAA’s major univer- sity division, prior to the University’s 1954 decision to abandon athletic grants- in-aid and to compete at the college divi- sion level. McHenry played in the 1953 Blue-Gray Game and the 1954 College All-Star Game against the Detroit Lions. He was a sixth-round draft choice of the Washington Redskins, and played two years of service football at Ft. Jack- March, 1973 son, S.C., before entering the coaching profession. McHenry is a native of Swarthmore, Pa., and holds a master’s degree in educa- tion from the University of Pennsylvania in addition to the BS. from Washington and Lee. in commerce Leslie played quarterback for Lexing- ton High School, and after World War II service passed up college football at Washington and Lee to concentrate on outstanding ability as a baseball pitcher. He graduated in 1949 with a B.A. in po- litical science, and immediately embarked on a distinctive coaching career at Na- tural Bridge High School, where his foot- ball teams won 65 games while losing only 26. ‘Coach of Year Emmer For the second year in a row, Washing- ton and Lee University’s lacrosse coach has been named national ‘Coach of the Year.” But for John S. (Jack) Emmer, the honor was awarded for his accom- plishments last year at Cortland State University in New York. Emmer was named 1972 ‘Coach of the Year’ for the college division in Decem- ber during the annual awards banquet of the U. S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse As- sociation at Albany, N. Y. Last year, while at Cortland, Emmer coached the Red Dragons to a 14-2 record, including victories over major powers Army, Navy, and Cornell, and to the semi-finals of the NCAA national championship _tourna- Cortland ranked No. 1 in the college division for the second straight year. ment. In August, Emmer was named head la- crosse and assistant football coach at Washington and Lee, succeeding Richard Lacrosse Coach of the Year Jack Emmer. E.
