At a luncheon following the meeting, President Huntley brought greetings to alumni and assured them that the Uni- versity, despite changes to meet the de- mands of a dynamic society, is unwaver- ing in its dedication to its long-standing educational ideals. One of the highlights of Law Day activities which coincided with the re- union program was a ceremony honor- ing Prof. Charles P. Light, Jr., upon his retirement from School of Law. The ceremony was followed by the John Randolph Tucker Lecture, deliver- ed by Edward H. Levi, president of the University of Chicago, a professor of teaching in the law and former dean of the University of Chicago School of Law. His topic was “The Collective Morality of a Maturing Society.” The lecture will be published in the Washington and Lee Law Review. Albert Darby Cumberland (Md.)

S. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger and from Associate Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., who studied under Light. Also bringing greetings in person were Virginia Supreme Court Justice Alexan- der M. Harman, Jr., of Pulaski, a 1944 graduate of the W&L Law School, and President Huntley. Also a portrait of Dean Light, show- ing him in academic attire, was unveiled. It was painted by Scaisbrook Abbot, the noted American artist, and will hang in the law building. The portrait was com- missioned by the W&L Law School As- sociation and was presented by Richard D. Haynes of Dallas, Tex., a 1958 law graduate. Another important event of Law Day Weekend was the finals in the Burks Moot Court Competition. Finalists in the competition were Ray V.

The victory gave W&L a third- place national ranking and put it into the university division of the NCAA la- crosse playoffs. A Tribute to Chris Bill Hillier, upon assuming the presi- dency of the Alumni Association, paid the following tribute to Chris Compton, the outgoing president: “I have tried to think of how best to describe Chris, and it is very simple, but yet very profound. Chris is a gentle- man in the best tradition of George Washington and Robert E. Lee. I say it is simple, but yet when you stop to think of it, it isn’t simple, in a sense. Just what does this mean? Well, with Chris, we see first personal integrity, calm self-confi- dence that comes from a long period of careful study and careful self-discipline. We see the highest moral standards and the highest personal standards of con- duct. In his relations with others we see b David L.

Gordon Leggett, Jr. of Lynchburg, board mem- ber and manager of personnel and public relations of Leggett Department Stores, Inc., has been elected to the Board of Trustees of Washington and Lee University. Leggett’s election came at the Board’s regular spring meeting on May 26 in Lexington and was an- nounced by Dr. John Newton Thomas, Board rector. Leggett graduated from Washington and Lee in 1954 with a major in economics. After service with the U.S. Navy, he joined Leggett Stores as a management trainee, working in sales and store management posi- tions for several years. In 1960, he worked in store planning and construction for the Leggett group, and in 1962 he was a trainee in accounting for 25 regional Leggett stores. In 1967, he became assistant to the secretary-treasurer of the group, and in 1968 was ap- pointed personnel and public relations manager, the position he now holds. He has managed Leggett stores in Lynchburg and Newport News. In 1961, he was elected a director of Leggett De- partment Stores Inc. He is also a member of the Man- agement Committee and several other committees of both the 67-unit Leggett group and Belk Stores Services, Inc. He is also a director of the National Retail Mer- chants Assn., of United Virginia Bank/First National, of Central Virginia Resources Inc., a division of the Greater Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce, and of Miller Home, the Lynchburg Female Orphan Asylum. He is married to the former Miss Patricia Reid Webb, and they have four children, Reid, 17, Susan, 15, Jane, 12, and Carey, 6. Leggett is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Leggett, and his father was one of the founders of the Leggett group, which operates retail stores throughout Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Delaware, and Maryland. The election of Leggett to W&L’s Board brings its membership to 22, its maximum authorized strength. Leggett will serve an initial six-year term and will then be eligible for re-election to one additional term. In addition to Leggett, five other W&L ‘Trustees reside in Virginia: Dr. Thomas, the Board rector; W&L President Robert E. R. Huntley; Supreme Court Justice July 1973 strength H.

Frances and Sydney Lewis of Rich- mond, whose gift of $9 million last year assured construction of the new facility, were present with members of their fam- ily. They were presented special spades with small inscribed plates which they used to turn some of the earth on the occasion. Others turning a few bits of sod were University President Robert E. R. Hunt- ley; Ross L. Malone, chairman of the Achievement Council committee concern- ed with the law portion of the Univer- sity’s decade-long $56-million Develop- ment Program; Roy L. Steinheimer, Jr., dean of the School of Law; Dr. John Newton Thomas, rector of the Board of Trustees; and John M. Stemmons, chair- man of the Achievement Council, the group of committees which are carrying out the Development Program. Grading and landscaping for the new building named for the Lewises has been under way for several months. George W. Kane, Inc., general contracting firm based in Durham, N. C., has been awarded the $5.7-million contract for Lewis Hall. Costs of designing and furnishing the building are expected to bring the total cost above the $7-million mark. The building, which will permit an expansion of W&L’s law enrollment from 250 to 350, will be completed in 1975. Its location is on previously undevelop- ed land owned by W&L just to the north of Wilson Field. The new facility will be almost six times as large as the existing law build- ing, Tucker Hall, long outgrown by W&L’s law program. Lewis Hall will con- 14 President Huntley (right) gives directions as groundbreaking participants look over plans for Lewis Hall.

It will also house the Wilbur C. Hall Memorial Law Library, with a capacity of a quarter-million volumes and private study carrels for each of the 350 students. Lewis Hall will also have an innovative 175-seat auditorium for legal argumenta- tion, designed to resemble an actual courtrom and equipped with closed-cir- cuit television and videotape facilities. To date, Malone’s raised $11.2 million against a goal of $16.5 million for the law program alone. committee has In addition to constructing and equip- ping Lewis Hall, the program calls for de- velopment of a center for innovative legal studies — to be known as the Frances Lewis Law Center — as well as added funds for student scholarships, support for faculty salaries, and two en- dowed professorships.

Hinton, professor of psychology, from the Uni- versity Committee on _ Intercollegiate Athletics. He served on the committee for 25 years and was chairman most of that time. He was honored at a testimonal din- ner in December at which he was pre- sented a framed W&L monogram, a monogrammed athletic sweater, a framed certificate, and a bit of poetry. He was lauded for his leadership of the commit- tee and for his unswerving devotion to W&L athletics, particularly for the re- conciling influence he exerted during W&L’s_ tradition to a _ nonsubsidized athletic program. Many alumni and friends were present for the occasion, including All-America football player Gil Bocetti, who led the Generals to the Gator Bowl in 1951. Dr. George Ray, associate professor of English, succeeded Dr. Hinton as com- mittee chairman. Dr. William W. Pusey, III, professor of German and former dean of the Col- lege, composed a poem of tribute: Now the time has come to tell Billy Hinton just how well He’s done his job, year in year out; Of this indeed there is no doubt. Of athletics a staunch friend, On whom it’s known we all depend. Dr. Hinton now gives up His chairmanship; so drink a cup In gratitude for his support Of football, tennis, every sport; Lacrosse and soccer, basketball, Wrestling, swimming—name them all! No need for sorrow of any kind; Billy Hinton unwraps framed W&L monogram at dinner in his honor. Prof. George Ray and Athletic Director Bill McHenry approve.

The lacrosse team posted a 14-1 rec- ord (16-2 counting the Hero’s Tourna- ment exhibition games), defeated No. 3 the final game, defeated Navy in the quarterfinal Virginia in regular season of the NCAA championship tournament, and lost to Maryland, the eventual na- tional champion and No. l-ranked team, in the semifinals at College Park, Md. Nationally, W&L was ranked fourth behind Maryland, Johns Hopkins, and Virginia. Among the top 20 teams, W&L defeated No. 3 Virginia, No. 6 Navy, No. 10 Cornell, No. 12 Washington College, No. 14 Towson State, No. 17 North Caro- lina, and No. 20 C. W. Post. The only losses were to No. 1 Maryland (in the Hero’s Tournament and in the NCAA semifinals). 20 During the year, overall, nine of the 11 W&L varsity teams had winning sea- sons. In spring sports, W&L captured the College Athletic Conference cham- pionship for the fourth time in the last five years. The tennis, golf, track, and baseball teams all did well. But it was lacrosse fever that really hit Lexington. Both students and many townspeople were caught up in the en- thusiasm. Before the Virginia and Navy games there was more old-time rah-rah college spirit than the campus has seen in many years. The students had a pep rally, hung dozens of bedsheet banners out of dorm and fraternity windows. ‘The mayor of Lexington issued a proclama- ’ tion, declaring ‘Lacrosse Day,” and Gov- ernor Holton sent a telegram of encour- agement to the team. A crowd of 6,500 turned out for the Virginia game, which W&L won by the surprising score of 15-10, and another 4,000 saw W&L defeat Navy 13-12 in a second sudden-death overtime. This vic- tory put W&L into the NCAA semifinals against Maryland. Responding to a student petition, the faculty altered the final exam schedule so that students could attend the semi- finals game at College Park. And an en- thusiastic crowd of students, Lexington townspeople, alumni, and parents from the Baltimore area cheered every move by the W&L team. W&L was the under- dog, but played valiantly, losing 18-7. The crowd gave the W&L team a stand- ing ovation when it was obvious the game was out of reach and another stand- ing ovation to goalie Skeet Chadwick, when he left the game. He had 28 saves in that game. W&L placed five men on the first-team All-America list—Sam Englehart at at- tack, Ted Bauer and Skip Lichtfuss at midfield, Don Eavenson on defense and WeL The lacrosse season came to a glorious finish.

Varsity Edges Alumni In what turned out to be a defensive struggle, Washington and Lee’s Varsity football team edged the Alumni, 13-8, on May 19. The game was played Saturday morn- ing on W&L’s Wilson Field, preceding the NCAA championship quarterfinal la- crosse game with Navy. The Varsity scored a pair of touch- downs, one on a two-yard run by Rob Konwinski and the other on a 30-yard pass-run from quarterback Jack Berry to running back Mercer West, to build up a 13-0 early lead. But the Alumni fought back and scored on a three-yard run by Phil Jones, set up by a 25-yard pass from a familiar combination: quarterback Steve Fluharty to flanker Chappy Conrad. Fluharty hit Jones with a two-point conversion to end the scoring for the day. The second half was a fierce defensive struggle, with neither team threatening seriously. Conrad and former basketball-track star Mike Neer stood out as pass-receivers for the Alumni. Neer, now a Navy ensign and assistant basketball coach at the Naval Academy, had returned to Lex- ington for the W&L-Navy lacrosse game (“I figured I couldn’t lose, no matter who won”) and only then learned of the football game. (Although he never play- ed football for W&L, he had been All- Metropolitan in the Washington, D. C., area in high school). Alumni receiver Mike Neer hauls in a Fluharty pass in narrow loss to the Varsity as alumni wives photograph the events. July 1973 Unable to find any size 15 football shoes, the indomitable Neer played the game in basketball sneakers. New W&L head coach Bill McHenry was especially pleased with his defense, citing sophomore linebacker Jamie Mc- Inerny and secondary men Mike Brittin and Jeff Opp, along with defensive line- men Rick Kulp and Jon Markley and linebacker Steve Van Amburgh. On offense, McHenry was pleased with the running of Jimmy Nolan, con- verted from linebacker, and the quarter- backing of senior Lewis Powell and sophomore Jack Berry. “Our young, in- experienced receivers hurt us some with several dropped passes.” Alumni Coach John Wolf, former star linebacker, ‘commented, “It’s a tribute to the W&L football program that so many alumni would return, some from as far back as the Class of 1964 and some from as far away as Texas and Alabama, prac- tice for only 15 minutes before the game, and play as well.as they did.” Wolf said the Varsity “has the nu- cleus of a fine defensive team. They have great spirit and are well-disciplined. They looked good for only five days’ prac- tice.” 1973 Football Schedule Sept. 22 Hamilton Home Sept. 29 Centre Home Oct. 6 Hampden-Sydney Away (Lynchburg Stadium) Oct. 13 Randolph-Macon Away Oct. 20 Western Maryland Home (Homecoming) Oct. 27 Sewanee Away Nov. 3 Southwestern Home (Parents’ Weekend) Nov. 10 Denison Away Nov. 17. Washington U. Away 25 by Richard Graham If it’s friendly, fatiguing, fast, and fun-it has to be lacrosse * MaRS ERS SER SEE Lacrosse team crosses Footbridge in pre-season campus romp that helps keep them in top condition. 26 There are always plenty of things to do on sunny Saturday afternoons in the spring. People picnic or wash cars or cut grass, they watch baseball in stadiums or on television. But in upstate New York or on Long Island or around Baltimore, and increasingly in Lexington, they go to lacrosse games. The Indians who invented the game are long since dead and may soon be forgotten if the current plastic and nylon lacrosse sticks continue to prove better than hand-crafted hickory and gut models, but no one is likely to forget the smash lacrosse has made at Washington and Lee. Even faculty members who don’t usually associate with athletics turned out this year to see the Generals defeat the University of Virginia for the first time since nobody knows when, and the quad jocks who three years ago might have passed their time throwing a baseball now play lacrosse instead. Perhaps the sudden popularity of lacrosse is due to the team’s success. The filling of Wilson Field two weekends in a row may just be proof that, even here, fans will support a winner. But more probably the game has flourished because it presents on a interscholastic basis some of the very things the University itself claims to be about. For lacrosse is an amazingly friendly game, the speed and the body contact notwithstanding. Since there just aren’t that many places in the country where anyone is interested, members of different college teams tend to come from the same cities, the same high schools, and often from the same neighborhoods. This means that the players follow each others’ exploits with a real interest and that games are more like reunions or contests to see who’s improved than like confrontations with nameless numbered opponents. One of the highlights of the W&L-Virginia game was the rivalry between Washington and Lee midfielder Ted Bauer and prep-school friend Owen Daly. Bauer had six goals, so this round must have been his. A series of summer leagues in which last season’s foe is this season’s teammate adds to the camaraderie on the field. There is passion in the play, but there are few arguments and few Richard Graham is a 1973 graduate in English who sat next to outstanding WeL lacrosse player Sam Englehart in math class at Towson High School outside Baltimore. He was also WeL Valedictorian, winner of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Medallion, and a recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship.

And lacrosse is a true amateur’s game, perhaps one of the last. There are no pro leagues to get into, and, because play covers so much ground so quickly, television contract’s are impossible. There is only the joy of competition and the exultation that comes to each player as he discovers the power and grace of his own body. The game’s consistent sprinting involves incredible physical demands, and Wash- ington and Lee coaches past and present have made con- ditioning a matter of great importance in their programs. W&L teams can run with anybody, and the fact that they seem to enjoy themselves so intensely adds to the image of the game as pure sport. The sheer fun of the thing carries to the fans, especially those who feel they really understand the game. There are few set plays on the field, and the pattern of endless variation on the same themes holds the interest as other games seldom do. Since few have a first-hand knowledge of the rules, it may be well to note several things here. The action begins with a face-off which resembles the tip-off in basketball or July 1973 Skip Lichtfuss digs for ball in important faceoff against Virginia. the dropping of the puck in a hockey game. An official places the ball on the ground at midfield between the backs of the sticks of one player from each team. After his whistle, these two players try to kick or shove the ball loose and obtain possession. Two more players from each team join in the initial scramble, but the other 14 men on the field must remain out of the way until the signal is given that one side has won control. Face-offs are the most brutal part of the game, since there are few other chances for one player to run half-way across the field into another player who is completely occupied with something else. But they are important because the team which controls them con- sistently can set the tempo of play, running hard or waiting a little as it will. When Washington and Lee has dominated this aspect of the game this year, as it did against Virginia, it has won handily. When it has had faceoff trouble, as it did at Towson State and later against Navy, lesser opponents have had W&L in a bind. Body contact can be a greater or lesser part of lacrosse. Some teams check frequently and hard and take pride in it. Others tend to lean and push. In any case, any player who has the ball and any player near a loose ball may be hit 27 Richard Graham, the author from the front and no player may be hit from the rear. Though officials try to interpret this rule strictly, they are more flexible with the rules that govern poking and slashing with the sticks themselves. The spectator’s judgment will almost always agree with the official’s if he allows for the thick gloves and armpads the players wear and if he remembers that a blow is legal if it does not touch the head, if it comes reasonably close to an opponent’s stick or the ball, and if the bruise it leaves doesn’t seem likely to be noticed before the afternoon is over. Penalized players are sent out, usually for 30 seconds or a minute, and their teams play, as in hockey, a man down for that interval. The game’s only intricate rule is that when a shot is wide of the goal and goes out of bounds, the ball is put in play again by the team closest to it when it crossed the line. This explains the mad rush after a ball no one can reach that so intrigues neophyte observers, and it explains too why so many calls which no basketball referee would have the heart to make are accepted without complaint by the players. Packing up the goal in this way is equivalent to controlling the boards in basketball. It has meant this year that Washington and Lee’s fast attackmen have been able to assure themselves lots of shots at the opposing goal, and because General goalie Skeet Chadwick is quick enough to turn and chase, it has also meant that the opposition has had a minimum number of chances to score. It is perhaps Chadwick’s play that has most determined the rhythm of the game in Lexington this year. He and his defensemen have worked so well that the rest of the squad has been liberated to play a little more freely, to press for a shot and move on offense without looking over its shoulder. Lacrosse teams have many different styles. Johns Hopkins plays ball with finesse, and in the past couple of years fine University of Virginia teams have done the same. Army and Navy run hard all day and love to hit. The University of Maryland, the joke always went, fielded 10 men who were so big that it didn’t matter at all if they played as 10 separate teams. Be that as it may, Maryland was on top this year. But Washington and Lee was close all along, and the team’s place in the national rankings climbed steadily. Against Virginia, on a day so pretty and so festive that the crowd would have cheered an oatmeal-mixing contest, the Generals showed what they could do when everything goes well. Against Navy a week later they showed they had the poise to survive when everything goes badly. They won both games, and in doing so they gave the college community something new and exciting to watch. They gave it a bright game, one it could understand quickly and one where all the moves were in plain sight. They gave it a quick game, one in which being big counted for little, but in which good physical conditioning counted for everything. Lacrosse is a game at which Washington and Lee ought to excell, and it’s been on its way here for several years. This season it came big to stay.
