It has been our con- stant endeavor to make this volume a strictl ? Davidson production. We be- lieve the purpose of a year book is to touch the responsive chord of memory). This book, therefore, should make you live over, in after y)ears, the youthful ecstasy and light-hearted camaraderie that characterized the jlears at Davidson. To those vjho a ' Oe gone before, vJe of- fer a history of progress; to our fellow- students, a constant reminder of days gone by; to strangers, a representation of life at Dav ' idson. This book, -We trust, will serine to fill out the fading memory) of our four poignant years at old Da-Oidson. mill RP i -- - :c:,- - ' ' = r::- QlIP (BANgjr 50tl 0)1% DAVIDSON N.C.

They came from within a narrow sphere of life. They assumed the attitude of penitent Freshmen and subjected themselves to the traditions and policies of the campus. Over the period of four years many of that number have failed to return to school. But those who remained have passed through ears of development that has made them real men, re ady to shoulder the responsibilities of life, being fitted for the tremendous tasks that are ahead. Remarkable changes have occurred in this brief four-year period — far too brief in many respects. We have seen the valuation of the college increased several hun- dred thousands of dollars. We entered just after two new dormitories had been completed. We saw Watts burned and rebuilt. We saw one wing of Chambers completed. We sa v the completion of perhaps the best athletic field in the state. We saw the evolution of a remarkable football team, which ended by being runners-up for state honors. We saw hazing pass out of Davidson during our first year. In fact, we have been a part of a period of development that portends remarkable progress to the college, a period in which years from now we shall look back upon in great pleasure, realizing that by our works we have been and had a part in this noticeable renaissance, if it can be termed that. Jack McNair and Jack Miller, room-mates, died during the year ' 24- ' 25, while Frank Hudson was killed in an automobile accident last fall en route to Chapel Hill. The loss of these men is irretrievable, and we deeply regret that their lives were taken from us, for ve believe that these men would have completed their course with us. In an athletic way, the contributions of the class of 1926 have been truly great. It is claimed that in the class are some of the greatest football players who have been at Davidson within the last decade. Vance and Baker, all-state. Laird, Anderson, Wells and Black are every one stalwart men, and have contributed considerable in the successful march of the Wildcats the past season. In baseball we have such men as Wells, Laird, Oden, Alford, Kugler and ' ance. Our contribu- tion to basketball for four years has been Laird, with Huie making his letter this year. In track we have Anderson and Williford. Vance and Cox have been mainstays in wrestling. . 11 in all the class has given to Davidson many good men in athletics. In a literary way our class has been in the forefront all the way through, containing many out- standing men along all lines of literary endeavor. It has contributed five intercollegiate debaters in Hollingsworth, Bowie, Parker, Ratchford, and Shaw. Men who have shown proficiency in studies merit mention, among them being Hollingsworth. Regen, Ratchford, Shaw, Houston, Apple- by, Parker, Brenner, Millner and Graves. The four first mentioned have been honored with Phi Beta Kappa. The class has produced leaders that are not made in a day, and has given to the class writers of versatile ability, who have been prolific in their writings, and who yet have a role to play. Thus the history of our class is briefly written — far too briefly to encompass all the attainments and honors of its members. That history, however, is but a milestone in a greater history — a history that will not be recorded upon paper, but a history which will be registered in the life of every individual member of the class. Our prophetic statement is that it will be lives so lived that they will reflect honor and glory upon the individual and upon the institution which gave us our start. W. E. Milton. Historian.

Woods Secretary-Treasurer S8 Junior Class History 1- PTKMHF.R in 1925 foijiul arcuiinl Uvu hiinilred aiui forty ot the greenest men uIki ever entered Davidson clammoring over the campus walks with wondrous eyes looking out from beneath their fresh red and black caps. Eighteen months later around one hundred and twenty-five of the same number gathered in Charlotte for the traditional Soph Bamiuet. It was, however, tjuitc a different crew that sauntered back to the campus that night from that which had entered so anxiously in the fall of the preceding year. In the intervening period the men had grown as they had drunk of life. A year later finds even a more sophisticated class, a bit more serious and a bit less boisterous as responsibility had begun to fall upon theni. The class of 1927 entered Davidson when the school had fallen to the depths of despair as far as athletics were concerned. Along with the new Freshman class came three coaches who were destitied to play a great part in the life of the collgce. Coach Rawsoii worked hard with the Freshman football squad, building from it men who later did valuable work. Such was true of the basketball and baseball teams. At the same time came coaches Monk and Tex, and when in the fall of 192+ they took over the ex-yearlings from Rawson, they proceeded to build the best team seen at Davidson in many years. In 1925 five members of the Junior class were playing on the Wildcat eleven and along with the collection of stars from the Senior class, the sturdy Sophomores and the superb Hendrix, one of the finest teams in the history of the school, was produced. Pinkney, and especially McConnell, were prominently mentioned for all-state teams, the latter being second man in the election for the captaincy of the 1926 team. Leggette and Bo- hannon both also won letters on the gridiron while Hewlett was awarded his letter in 1925. In basketball Hewlett and Tom .Anderson made their letters, .Anderson being high-point man on the best Davidson five in many years. In baseball Woodham and Walter Davis won letters. Joe Frierson was the outstanding man on the wrestling team in his Sophomore year. Harry Goodykoontz, Calhoun, and Brand made letters on the cinder path, the first two being the most consistent scorers of the season for the entire squad. The class of 1927 won perhaps most fame through Leighton McCutcheon, who along with the veteran Price won the Doubles Cham- pionship of North Carolina in the Spring of 1925. McCutcheon was elected captain of the teruiis team at the end of his Sophomore year. Three times the class had assembled to elect its presiding officer, Christian winning in the Freshman year while Covington and Pinkney led the class through its Sophomore and Junior years respectively. It is not in athletics alone that the class has played a major part, two members winning places on the varsity debating teams, during their Sophomore years. Clancy Williams was on the team that lost to F.mory University in .Atlanta in the fall of that year, while Don Wharton helped two other wildcats to win out over Wake Forest at Queens College in the Spring of 1925. Bill Christian has consistently made the honor roll while others have shown marked scholastic ability. As the class had drawn nearer and nearer its Senior year many other honors have naturally come its way, its members taking their place in the publications ' work, in the various clubs, in hon- orary fraternities, and in the social life of the college. The oflicers for the junior year were Pinkney, president; McCounell, ice-presideut ; Bill Woods, secretary-treasurer; and Don Wharton, historian.

L. Vance THE DIRECTORS Dr. J. M. Douglas How often while the croud anxiously awaited the ap- pearance of the Davidson eleven at the north gate one might see the grey-suited Dr. Douglas, busy greeting returning alumni upon the straifjht-away. With a watchful eye on the slowly tilling stands or a bank of clouds in the sky, he calmly awaited the start of the game. As graduate manager of athletics. Doctor Douglas has done more for Davidson athletics, along with Coach ' ounger, than an ' other man. For years the course of the various teams at Davidson ha e been cntireK under his hands, and gradually the school is taking a higher and higher place in the athletic realm of the Soutli. Once an athlete, ever a sportsman, Doctor Douglas holds a high place in the student body of Davidson College. Coach W. L. Younger A renaissance in the realm of athletics has accompanied the return ot Monk ounger to the .school where in the fall of l )is lie won his first college letter, and a jilace on the all-state eleven. At the close of the 1925 season the same newspaper selected Coach ' ounger as the best coach in North Carolina. With a limited amount of material lie has won victory after victory on the gridiron and basketball court through sheer hard work and excellent coaching. He is popular on the field and oft ; he is respected and admired by both players and spectators. 107 Coach S. D. Tilson As Tex ' s third year as line coach comes to an end, his ability becomes increasingly evident. His line, outweighed in most games by around ten to twenty pounds per man, has been repeatedly called the best in the state. Undoubtedly it was the fastest and hardest fighting, and to it was ascribed much glory that momentarily fell to the dashing backfield men. Tilson is a man who can get the greatest amount of work from his forwards while keeping them in the best humor. With Younger and Tilson at the head, all David- son athletics will gradually increase to the place where they have placed the Wildcat football team. Coach Mattox The fall of 1925 was Monk ' s first at Davidson as Fresh- man coach, and although his eleven was able to defeat only one team, he established himself as an able coach and a hard worker. Well-liked by the players, he led them through a disastrous season, the schedule being the hardest yet attempt- ed by a first-year team at Davidson. His experience as as- sistant coach at V. P. I. made him fit in well with the pol- icies of the two varsity coaches. I THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION i •4- • Offi cers In the spring elections of 1925 Tom Baker was selected by the student body as president of the Athletic Association, serving in that capacity until the last part of November, when he was elected to the presidency of the student body. Harry ' ance was then chosen to pilot the Athletic Association through the remaining months of the scholastic year. Baker was one of the most valuable men on the football eleven in his Junior and Senior years, and has shown ability as a leader in campus life. Vance, probably the most outstanding athlete on the hill, has won letters, and stars in football, baseball and wrestling. Joe McConnell was vice-presi- dent and John Melton was secretary and treasurer. Vance The Council Dr. J. M. Douglas, Faculty .Idvisi-r V. I.. ' oLNGtR, .Itlilelic Diri ' ilor S. D. TiLSON, Coach M.

Davis IHE D CLUB (.AITAIV lil.ACK c Football Few have been tlie Wildcat teams to rise to the heiK ' its achieved by the 1925 football s(iiiad ; never has there been one to play as completely into the hearts of the North Caro- lina sportsmen as did the Davidson team, which the state ' s largest newspaper called the most gallant corps of football players that has appeared on the Emerson arena this year, Tndcr the third year of Coaches VounKer and I ' ilson ' s tutelage the Wildcats developed into a worulertui team, sweeping game by game toward the state title only to falter as the Tarheels won in the greatest game that anybody remembers seeing on this field. North Carolina thus wrested the title from the Wildcats by a 13-0 score, but Davidson came back in the Thanksgiving fray to wal- lop the tar out of the Duke University team, rounding off a season of six victories, two ties and twii defeats bv a 26-0 score. Elon, Guilford, Presbyterian College, Wof- ford, North Carolina State and Duke Univer- sity fell before the attack of the Wildcats. Wake Forest ' s race toward the state cham- pionship was halted when Davidson tied them 7-7. Hampden-Sidney rose to great heights to tie the Wildcats on the same field while a touchdown in the last four minutes gave Kurman University a win over Davidson. The coaching of Younger and Tilson was widely praised and universally recognized as three Davidson men — Ilendrix, ance and ¥ w t Haker — won places on the composite All-State team. Eight of the Davidson players won a first place on one or another pick, while the crowning glory of the season was the selec- tion of Coach Monk Younger as the state ' s t( iemost coach.

For years the Christians had been cutting more and more off Davidson ' s margin of victory, but their hopes went glimmering in this September struggle. Davidson paid dearly for the win in the loss of Sappenfield with a broken leg. Dai ' iilsoii ; tf ' offoi l o Hendrix stepped into the shoes of Sappen- field and lead the Wildcats to a victory over Wofford the next week, his brilliant general- ship and playing accounting for the single touchdown as Wofford put up the best fight of the season on Richardson Field. DdViilsun 7; Jl ' akc Forest J Lucian Wells wrote his name big in col- legiate football circles as he lead the David- son attack that resulted in a 7-7 tie from NWike Forest. Fresh from their ' ictor over the Tar Heels the Baptists were headed for another state championship, coming to Char- lotte doped to win by two to three touchdowns. It was the biggest upset of the season, the Wildcats playing a wonder brand of ball after Wake Forest had scored in the opening min- ute of play. Taking the offensive from then on, Davidson repeatedly threatened. Finally in the third quarter the Wildcats struck their stride as the little red-jerseyed linesmen opened up great holes for Black and Wells and Hendrix and Grey to come smashing through, Wells finally going over the line on a criss-cross play. Laird kicked the tieing 3V, ' ' wlkW ' Mfhk ft Arrovvwood MtLlUN McCOWHl.L Koal «itli the same steadiness that has char- acterized his play tliiimyli hiur seasons on the Davidson team. Drivi ls ' ji! j6; Giiiljard o Coach Younger looked far into the future as he played his second and third teams against (juilford to «in 26-0, holding out the varsity until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. Harrison ' s broken field running was the sensation of the day, while Arrowood and Ritchie showed the power that later placed them on the varsity. Davidson I J; Presbyterian After a listless first half Davidson opened up in the third iuarter, scoring thirteen points against Presbyterian College to win by the biggest score in the history of Wilcat-Blue- stockiiig football games. Ile vlette massed the Davidson attack well, sending Hlack and Wells over the line for two touchdowtis. Kir- ven of Presbyterian was the outstanding man on the field, while Vance and IJohannon looked well i n the Davidson line. D ivith ' jn I); Furinan 7 Heavily outweighed by the wonder Fur- man team, Davidson fought gamely .hrough three and a half quarters of scoreless ball, faking full advantage of a break which let loose a long punt, Furman slipped over the single touchdown about five minutes before the gaine ended, Captain Tilghman making a wonder catch on the goal line. The 7-0 victory went to the better team, in fact the best team Davidson met during the season, but it wasn ' t the far-famed crazy quilt . ' sia aisfii ' e? . ' PiNKNEY Grey formation that brought the victory. It was the powerful batteriiif; ram led by Whitey Raw Is. Davidson g : North (Jaroliiut State o Homecoming Day brought North Carolina to Davidson for the second time in history, and the 9-0 victory of the Wildcats was the first since the palmy days of 1916. Claude Allen started Davidson on the road to the state championship when he drop-kicked the first score from the 35-yard line. In the final period Hendrix slipped through the line for a touchdown. Twice Davidson took the ball to the three-yard line without scoring, a fumble and the final whistle alone stopping them. On the line Haker and ' ance tore through the big Tech forwards, and spilled their backs before thev could start. Dm ' iihon 6; Hampden Sidney 6 Davidson 6; Hampden-Sidney 6. Such is the thorn in the Wildcats crown. About this game little can be written commendatory to the Wildcats except that they started off like a great team as Leggette scored the first touch- down. Nothing can be said about the Tigers save that of honor and praise. Lead by Atkins they came near winning from the Wildcats, who, after ten weeks of football, had fallen into a slump. Davidson Oj North Carolina _? Then came the climax of the season: With Duke and State and Wake Forest out of the running the championship lay between David- son and Carolina. Carolina was the favor- ite, entering the game with a line that out- weighed the Wildcats by over ten pounds RlICllIK McCOMB Harrisos ' CiKl.l per man, aiui a bai ' ktit-UI made up nt tinir liat- tering rams. In the tir-t few minutes they shoved over a touclulown as tor four times the Wildcats gave them first down by lieing off-side. Time after time the Wildcats took the game into their own hands. Time after time they swept over and around and through the bewildered lar Heels in dazzling ma- neuvers that brought the eight thousand spec- tators to their feet. Time after time they threatened to smash llirough tlic last Caro- Una defenses. Ileiulrix, HIack and WelN threatened until the last moment of the play; it seemed almost inevitable that Ilendrix would eventually get loose for a touchdown, and a dozen times he was within an inch of it . Davidson made 13 first downs to Caro- lina ' s 9, gained 415 yards to the Tar Heels 224. The state went wild in its praise and honor to the Wildcats; it bemoaned the first few penalties and the injury to Captain Black tliat cost the Wildcats the state title. Diwiilsuii 26; Duki (I Twelve days later Davidson swept the Duke I ' niversity team up and down Richardson I ' ield, avenging the defeat by the Tar Heels with a 26-0 win from the Methodists. Ilen- drix and Cirey vied for broken field running as they swept around the ends and through the line for gain after gain. Captain Black re- turned to lead a fifty-seven march down tlie Held, making five consecutive first doxvns in the greatest line-plunging seen here since the ' irginia Gobblers came down years ago. Regex Hew LET! E NiMiLI McIllwain ' e Tiicnty-Onc Letters At the close of the season letters were awarded to nineteen players, Manager Regen and Cheer Leader Monk. In the backfield, Captain Black and Captain-elect Lucian Wells bore the brunt of the Davidson line- plunging, with Wells particularly effective as off-tackle runner. Their defensive work was the best for Davidson in years. Hendrix at quarter and Dick Grey at half were de- scribed by the News and Observer (Raleigh), as two of the fastest backs to appear in Tar Heel territory in many years. Harrison, Leggette, McComb and Nisbet were awarded letters as valuable reserve backs, while Ferrell and Allen did good work. McConnell developed into one of the state ' s most outstanding pivot men, with ' ance. Melton and Jim Grey playing around him as guards. The work at tackle was divided among four men: Baker, Laird, Ritchie and Anderson. Arrowood, Pinkney and Bohan- non covered the flanks. In the praise for the glory of the game too much attention is often given to the back- field. Too much credit can not possibly be handed the Davidson linesmen. Outweighed in nearly every game, often by around ten to fifteen pounds, they developed into the state ' s best forward wall, irrespective of weight. As the annual goes to press the Davidson coaches are leading another spring football practice. Faced with the loss of a great num- ber of letter men, Coaches Younger and Til- son will have a difficult job to keep up the record they have made in the past two sea- FRESHMAN FOOTBALL With only one victory to their credit the Freshman football team of 1925 fell a Kood bit below the excellent record of the Freshman eleven of the preceding year as well as that of the varsity of 1925. The Wildkittens by winning over Duke I ' niversity in Durham, kept their record from being entirely devoid of wins. However, it might be said that in the five contests that the Fresh- men entered, they had a schedule harder than any attempted before by a Davidson first-year eleven. The teams encountered were often heavier than the Wildcats and without an exception they possessed the real fighting spirit. AU in all they furnished the kind of opposition that would have been welcomed by a stronger team than Davidson was able to place on the field. The Freshmen opened the season with the High Point College eleven, a team built around several star backs from the mid-west who were able to wrestle a 14-0 decision from the Wildkittens. The next week saw the yearling from Presbyterian College win their first victory over a Davidson Freshman team in the four years of play between the schools, a lone touchdown in the third quarter winning the contest. The outstanding player of this contest was Hob Kell, Davidson back, who dashed for forty-seven yards around left end early in the game. With Duke leading seven to three in the fourth (piarter this same back drove over the .Methodist line for the winning touchdown. James had made the first l )avidson score by a placement earlier in the game. I ' he following week the people of tireenville watched a gamely fighting Wildkitten eleven fall 42-0 before a wonderful Furman I ' niversity team. The South Carolina eleven smothered the Davidson crew under a powerful attack in the line and a fast hackfield. The final game on the Davidson schedule vas with Clemson in the land of the Figer. . ftcr leading the Sandlappers for the first half the Davidson eleven was swept off its feet as Clemson won 25-7. Kell scored the Davidson touchdown. The game brought to a close a season which had developed several good players but few winning combinations. In the backficid James and Kell were the outstanding players with Cap- tain Sain Black showing up great on the defensive and Winburg running the team at i|uarter. On the line Bob I.cfevre and Holmgreen were the steadiest men, though Riggs McConnell looked good at times on the flank. Joe Kerr played regular at center, while Myers, Crawford, Smith, Ritchie, McDonald and Leftwich also won numerals on the line as did Flinn and King in the backfield. These sixteen men were awarded their numerals by the athletic council. The following is the complete season: i fcfls - Captain Black Davidson Freshmen o; High I ' oint 14 Davidson Freshmen o; Presbyterian Freshinen 7 Davidson Freshmen 9; Duke Freshmen 7 Davidson Freshmen o; Furman Freshmen 42 Davidson Freshmen 7; Clemson 25 CAI ' TAIN LAIRU IliHlW ill lllllLlli kSKETBALL In tlic ojx ' niny; game the W ' ililcats smothciL-il tlic V team troni Concord under a 53-15 score. Captain Laird and Anderson led off with twelve and nineteen points respec- tively. The game was played in the Davidson gymnasium, as was the one witli Salisbury three nights later, when Davidson went down be- fore that team by a one-point margin. Laird accounted for sixteen of the Davidson points in this game, l oth of these two games came before the Christmas holidays. Litch Huie stepped out into the basketball limelight by scoring ten points against the Duke University quint following the return of the Wildcats to the Hill after Christmas. Davidson won by a one-point margin, 32-31, Duke University later in the season getting revenge for this game by winning, 32-30, on the Methodist Court. The State championship team from Raleigh handed the Wildcats their first col- legiate defeat in three years on the local floor, by winning 33-24. Virginia and South Carolina sent two invaders to the Wildcat lair in tlic week preceding the Davidson exams, but both Wofford and Hampden-Sidney were repulsed, ;is Davidson won, 32-19 and 38-31. It was in these latter three games that Andy |_ Hewlette played with the Wildcats, ac- H — counting for twenty-five points. His loss hurt the team considerably. Davidson opened up after the exams with wins over Concord and Charlotte . AL C. A. teams and over Guilford College, making it five straight for the Wildcats. The ictory o er the Char- lotte crew on the (Jueen Cit floor hrougiit hopes to the W ' ildcats for a grand linisii to the season. — However, Furman University brought a pair of forwards and a center to Da- vidson who could iu ' t tile basket from Cai ' t.mn Laird Captain- El. Kcr Anderson mid-floor with such accuracy that navidson was defeated, 40-33. Then came the two Davidson trips which ended so disastrously for the Wildcats. Clem- son won by a field goal, 32-30, in the Tiger lair, and Vofiford nosed out by a point in Spartan- burg. Sandwiched between these two heart- breaking games was a thrilling Davidson victory, 33-29, over the Furman University team on their own court. Returning to Davidson Thursday, the Wild- cats took the road again Saturday, falling be- fore the North Carolina State crew, 35-19, that night. The first of the following week saw Duke nose out Davidson by a field goal in Durham, and the great Carolina squad win, 53-18, at Chapel Hill. Davidson played a great game the following Saturday night as Citadel won by a field goal on the Wildcat floor. The Red and Black team took the lead at the first and held it throughout the game until the last six minutes of play, when Weeks and Douglass scored four consecutive goals, establishing a lead which the Vildcats could not overcome. Coach Younger developed four good players to work along with his two veterans. Laird and Anderson. Wilson played a neat game at center, falling back to standing guard, where he was certainly a tower of strength. Although his ofifensive work was at times weak, his great de- fensive playing at times promised much for the Wildcats in future years. Huie was the big find of the season. He showed a flashy form at times that enabled him to garner 97 points during the season. After four years of scrubbing he took his place as a regular and filled it well. Simpson and Harrison covered the other guard ' s position, the foriiKT coniiiiii in during the last six games to make a fine showing. Hudgins did some valuable work as a reserve.

With Kerr and Hunt playing forward, Crawford lead- ing the team at center, and Leftwich and Sturdevant playing guard, the Wild- kittens placed some good players on the floor. Howe er, they failed to play the brand of ball that the calibre of the op- posing teams made necessary to win many games. The following men were used more or less frequently throughout the season as substitutes: Winberg, (lilmore, Cjreene and Meadows.

Led by Thackston. the Terriers came l ack to win H-5. With the bases filled Harry Vance deliberately hit for four bases and Davidson won its first baseball game, from Guilford. 16-11. With Wells in the box Davidson continued its one and only winning streak, as Roanoke was de- feated in an excellent game. This 3-2 win was the first game on the trip Into the Old Do- minion. The Virginia Gobblers then won 7-2 and Washington and Lee were victors 9-5. iiavidson closed the home season by allowing Wake l ' orest to win 8-7 after the score hail been tied several times in an ll-inning battle on Itichardson Field. For the third time of the year Davidson lost by a one-run margin as Duke University took the final game 9-8. in Monroe. Davidson tied (he score 7-7 in the famous seventh inning, and in the twelf th both .s.ored again. In the thir- teenth the Blue Devils pushed across the win- ning run after two men wer out.

No one would ever have thought from the way that Captain Teddy played around third base that the Davidson team, was continually losing. Besides covering his corner with uncanny abil- ity, Covington maintained a most admirable spirit, serenely fighting till the last ball was thrown. He was noted as one of the very best third basemen in North Carolina. Although out of the game all the season ex- cept the first two games on account of opera- tions, Frank was selected to lead the 1926 nine. Since his first year at Davidson he has ever been one of the outstanding stars. He is ex- pected to lead the Davidson nine this spring to at will make up for the miscues Vance of last year, as he oontinues his hard hitting oC his Freshman and Sophomore years. Sim Wrenn was the man who rould and would hit when a run was on the bases, thus Ijufoming one of the two or three most dan- gerous men at the hat. He did all the catching, working valiantly to get more and more out of the green bunch of pitchers. His return lo Davld.son was a life-saver to the team and he will be missed more than any man on the SQuad. Sion Alford started off with some effective hitting which he continued throughout the sea- son, coupled with frequent erroj ' s at short, lie was highstrung and over-anxious in the field, but fought hard to get into form, which he achieved later in the season. The entire school did not return for further scrv- le of the hardest playing of the regrets that he ice as he is or Wildcats. Laird was vonder pitcher for the first h;iir of the game against most any team the Wild- cats played, but after those first few Innings he would go to pieces. He started oft against the State Tech men as if he intended to pitch a no-hit game. He played In the outfield and at first while oft the mound, and oitcii hit effectively. In his Junior year Simpson decided he would maUi ' the Davidson nine, which he did with appai-ent ease. However, last spring with more competition he showed the school that he was still the best second baseman. It was a great sight to see some towering pitcher and little •Pee Wee have a duel in which often he was the winner by a clean base hit. To Wells goes the glory of turning In the only two Davidson victories, pitching the David- son nine to wins over Guilford and Koanoke In successive games. The latter was one of the best games of the year. Wells has each year shown constant improvement on the grid- iion and the diamond and if tliis roi will Ko great with the Vy2i; l.asil.all Vance was the cmlsi ;i n.lhii; iiIjm Davidson nine, hittiUL- hn :iii :i .i,i . .400 and fielding at tiiiHs unh l-nlli, deliberate manner ot ;ilkiir ii. ili. slamming out extra base hits was adn amid a poor record for the team.

Kelly wa.s, with Davis, the only man in the Sophomore class to make a letter on the Briggs is the man who alone is absolutely blameless for the Wildcat season of disastrous defeats. He gave the Wildcats a well-bal- an -ed season with games with the best teams of North and South Carolina and Virginia, and then watched them lose, munching his peanuts and counting the money. FRESHMAN BASEBALL Caimain Kugi.kr The I)a idsoii Frc-shnien opened the baseball season with im- piessi e victories o er Denver High School and the Duke Kresh- nien, but soon settled down into the midst of a rather mediocre season, winning seven out of thirteen games. In the |da with the first ear teams of tin- Hig Five of North Carolina the Wild- kittens won but two of the six games. Coach Clarence Rawson, directing his last squad at Davidson, dexeloped greatly the material on hand. Probably his work will siiow better results in the try-outs for the varsity nine of 1926 than w.is evidenced in the number of Freshman games that were won and lost. Several of the players showed up unusualh ' well, Pocde and Mauhlin hitting o er the .30;! mark while turning in some effect- i e work on the mound. Arrowood at first base and Hal Johnson in the outfield also exceeded this mark while nicely covering their positions. Several other men on the nine showed promise of de- veloping into aluable men. Kugler as captain was an outstand- ing pla er, both at the bat and in the field. Following an ll- i victory over a weak nine from I)en er, the Wililkittens sliat- tered the Duke m ' nc by a 22-S score on Richardson Field, I ' oole leading the Davidson hitting witli four safeties. The team then split a two-game series with Raetord .Ameri- can Legion, winning 3-1 and losing 5-3. The Wildkittens came back strong in the nmth inning to win 5- from Lowell after thirteen of th Davidson men had been fanned by the visiting pitcher. ( )n the next day (lastonia fell 1 1-9 before heavy hitting, Dulin slamming out a home run with the bases filled. The yearlings starteil the disastrous state tri|i b defeats at the hands of the Lni- versity of North Carolina team, 9-1, and by Wake Forest, 7-2. The W ' ildkittens coupled Mauldin ' s good pitching with some heavy hitting by Johnson to win 9-4 from the ' Feclimen in Raleigh. 1 he team returned home to win again from Lowell b the ()-S score, am! then to lose both State and Wake Forest, the former by a 13-3 score. In the game with the Baptist yearlings Joyner and Poole battled for rune strernjous innings, with the former showing marked control, ' l wice he retired the Wildkittens after the had placed two men on the bases with no outs.

Later on the Davidson squad took a more impressive but also closer contested win from the University of South Carolina, and John Currie ran into more widely acclaimed fame at Greensboro as he finished second against John Scholtz who there established the world ' s record for the hundred. Those are the high spots of the 1925 track and field season for the Da idson squad despite the fact that John Currie was a Freshman and his work was unofficial. With just a handful of men Coach Tilson went into the State Ohinpic at Chapel Hill to bring third place honors back to the Wildcat lair. This ended the Da idson season, which was marred by losses to the V ' irginia Techmen and the Clenison Tigers, both teams of unusual excellence. Opening with V. P. I. at BLicksburg the ' ildcats went down to a 80-46 defeat, although (loodxkoont , came out higii man ot the (!a with thirteen points. 1 he following week the speedy Sopho- more continued to rank high with fifteen points as he took first in the hundred, two-twenty and four-forty over the W ' of- ford squad. Davidson won this meet by an 87-39 score on Richardson Field. Captain (jracey, after starting off poorly against the (Gobblers, came back to amass thirteen points in this meet. Captain (iracey and Red McComb, b winning first and second places in the javelin throw, the last event of the day, overcame a six-point lead of the (jame- cocks in Columbia to win out 57-SS o er the lni ersity of South Carolina.

An unusual incident was the tie between ] IcConnell and Hannahan in the mile run. The Tigers outran the Wildcats on Rich- ardson Field to win the last track meet of the year 81-45. Clemson took first places in all of the track events and three of the races. Currie raced into fame in this meet, but his victory was not counted, as it was only through the courtesy of the Clemson runners that he, a Freslinian, was entered. Calhoun made the only first place for the Wildcats in the State Olympic, although six I)a idson men pointed so as to win third honors. Calhoun ' s jiunp was tied b ' Mat- thews of N. C. State. The best team in the past decade is ex- pected to be placed on the Richardson field in the spring of 1926, the Freshman and var- sit_ ' showings of 1925 giving this promise. The following is the record of the 1925 I)a idson track .squad: Davidson . . .46; Virginia Tech . . 80 Davidson . . . 87 ; AVofford 39 Davidson . . .57; South Carolina . . 55 Davidson . . . 45; Clemson 81 Da idson third place, State Olympic. Captain Bo Peep fought valiantly to get back into the form of earlier college years, suc- cess finally being achieved as he threw the javelin for the winning points to overcome a Sovith Carolina lead and win 57-55 from «38 the Gamecocks. In the meet with Wofford he scored thirteen points. He returned to Davidson in the fall of i j2S tor post-gradu- ate work, but on account of ha ing made the varsity for four years, the college will be witli- out his services on the track and in the field. Red was out part (jf the season on ac- count of illness, but came back to fight hard in the last meet. With his long and powerful legs, with a spirit that is typified in the phrase, a red-headed Wildcat, Anderson will make an ideal leader of the track team for 1926. He is one of the hardest fighters and cleanest players of all the class of i(j26 ' s array of brilliant athletes. Archie as leader of the cross countr team and as a winning long-di.stance runner in tin- regular track meets again earned his letter. His stride as he rounds the curves and stretches out along the straightaway is one of the pret- tiest sights in what ordinarily is an uneventful race. In the four meets he garnered one first, two seconds and one third [dace. Spec McConnell, after a brilliant year on the basketball court, showed up better than ever on the track, placing in both the half and mile in every dual meet and in the half in the State Olympic. Spec won three first places, two .seconds and three thirds. o doubt his time in either would have been better had he not been forced to run both in the same afternoon. Red McComb started off the year with a third place in the javelin throw against Vir- ginia Tech, took a second under Gracey in the W ' offord meet, and then struck his stride as he placed first in both the South Carolina and Clem.son contests. His placing third in the J C5 it. f 11  :°i si State Ohmpic helped Davidson to rate that position in the final count. Harry Goodykoontz was the most note- worthy of the Davidson trackmen of 1925. For the first three meets he placed high as he made a record of eight firsts and one second out of nine races entered. In the final meet with Clemson he met with the finest runners of the South Atlantic and garnered only seven points. In the State meet he took a second in the two-twenty, thus bringing his total scoring of tjie season to fifty-three points. Calhoun, by placing first in the State Olym- pic meet, came through the season as the most consistent man on the Davidson squad. Five times he entered the high jump and only once did he fall below first place, that being in the meet with South Carolina when he placed sec- ond. Alf Brand was the third Sophomore to win his lette r, proving a very valuable assistant to Cioodykoontz in the dashes as he piled up five seconds and one third. In the South Carolina meet his running was especially effective as he placed second in both the hundred and two- twenty. In tlie initial meet at Hlacksburg McMillan came out only third in the broad jump, but in the next three contests he out-distanced all rivals as he won three first places. In the state meet he placed third in a strong array of jump- ers. Any manager who continually smiles when his team is losing deserves praise, but one that smiles when the gate receipts are below par deserves his letter. Jim was efficient as well as popular. MRESTUie The annual goes to press with one meet yet to be staged and I the best crew of wrestlers here for years awaiting a chance to meet the Navy Plebes in Annapolis. After smothering the Concord Y team twice undi-r a big scoic, tin- Wildcats journeyed up to V irginia Polytechnic Institute, where they lost b a 14(1 score. Then came the startling meet with North Carolina State, in w hicli tin- Wildcats woke the state up with a 20-3 ictory o cr the Tcchnien. Duke I ' liiNcrsitN disbanded their team and cancelled the meet with the Wildcats. Thus the I)a idson chances tor the championship of the state were wrecked as no meet would be sclieduled with the Tar Heels, who had already defeated both State and Uuke l ' ni ersity. The season began with four letter men back in school and rearing to go. C.iptain Cox and Joe Frierson, Vance and Harrington were a dependable nucleus around which Captain AVeems built a hearty scpiad. Daxidson broke the season in by winning six talis tioni the Cnnconl Y team iji Concord. Crinkle ' , restling Dcruiv. the captaui and c;iach of the Concoiil team, was the only man to be thrown, all six others winning by falls. The showing of Crinkle)- throughout the season was ery good, ending uji in a wonderful match with llarrell from North Caro- lina State in which h:- won by a fall. I ' ollowing the exams Captain Weems ran in his second team against the Con- cord crew and won 29-0. (3nly Crink- ley and Maulden ot the regidars were allowed to enter and they threw their men in three and two minutes respect- i ely. The meet with ' . P. I. saw Frier- son and Harrington win on time from the (lobblers and Captain Cox secure a Captaix Cox draw. The Cobblers secured three time Captain-Elrct Frifrsox advantages and one fall. The meet was closer than the score might indicate. Then came great victory over North Carolina State, with Frierson, Barring- ton, Davis, Cox and Vance winning by time advantage and Crinkley by a fall. Maulden was overpowered by Lambe, a hefty football star for State. Cox completed his third year on the team, while Vance and Barrington will also be lost by graduation. Frierson is yet to be thrown by any wrestler. Around him and Crinkle ' , Davis, Maulden, Bohannon, Flythe aiul Ciar- rison, Coach Weems will ]in)babl ' de- velop a good team next year. The results of the first four meets of the season were : I)a idson . . .30; Concord Y 5 Davidson . . .29; Concord Y o Davidson ... 6; V. P. I. . . 14 Davidson ... 20; N. Car. State 3 Total, Davidson 85 ; Opponents . . 22 V.ARSITV WRESTLING SQU.AD ENMS With a total of five victories against two defeats, and the possession ot the State Doubles Championship of North Carolina, the Davidson 1925 I ' eiinis Teain was indeed brilliantly successful. — Harry Price, as formerly, ranked first as number one on the team. I ' he other three veterans — Staley, Beall and Trotter — were forced to shift down one notch, while I.. McCutcheon broke into the ranks of the varsity, with the rating of second. Such an order was brought about after the completion of the Spring Tournament, which incidentally inovated an entirely new method in the selection of the varsity squad. The season was featured by the highly successful Northern trip in the latter part of . pril, and the retention of State honors at the North Carolina Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament, vhich was held at Chapel Hill in early May. Here Harry Price and I.eighton McCutcheon won lor Davidson the State Doubles Championship. The VA ildcats began their victorious march in the spring %hen they smothered Clemson College at Davidson b the score of 5-1. Hcall lost the onl match for Davidson, which was itself a hard- fought one. On . pril 20th the team left on its northern trip, arriving first at the L ' niversity of Mary- land. The Wildcats were in near-perfect form, and swept easily through the Mary- landers; winning by a 6-1 score. From here the Red and Black racqueteers journeyed up to Annapolis, where they met defeat — their only loss of the trip — from the Navy. Their usual steadiness and tennis sang-froid seemed to have deserted them; and the cooler excellency of their opponents ' playing left them to the small end of a 5-2 score. .■ t Charlottsville, Davidson found itself again, and the fierceness of their strokes, and the sureness of their service allowed the Uni- versity only the little end of a 5-2 score. It was almost an instance of Wildcat meet- ing a Wildcat at Richmond, where the Cnion Seminary was barely beaten by the score, 4-3. Davidson ' s old champion, Hugh Bradley, i-C Captain- Price Captain-elect McCutcheon proved that he was still champion when he defeated Harry Price. The last match of the tour was at Winston- Salem, N. C, where the Winston-Salem Coun- try Club was defeated, 5-1. The individual feature of the trip was the consistency of Tom Staley ' s playing. He re- mained undefeated throughout the trip. In the state tournament at Chapel Hill, Price and Mc( itchen defeated Salomon and Fuller of Carolina in the final for the Doubles Championship of the state, after winning from State and Powers of Wake Forest, 6 — 3, 6 — +, and from Whitaker and Kelly of Carolina, 3 — 6, 6 — I, 6 — I. Price ' s steadiness and ac- curate placing, with the terrific service and hard over-head drives of McCutcheon, were greatly responsible for the victory. In the singles, Price and Staley both went to the semi-finals. Price, who had the year be- fore won the State Singles title, lost to Whit- aker of Carolina, 7 — 5, 2 — fi, 4 — 6, going d(nvn finall before the hard, accurate strokes of the Carolina star. The record for the year is as follows: Davidson 3 ; Davidson 5 ; Davidson 6; Davidson 2; Davidson Davidson Davidson Charlotte Country Club 4 Clemson i University of Maryland i 2; Navy 5 5; University of Virgiiiia 2 4; Union Seminary 3 5; Winston-Salem. N. C i North Carolina Fournanient — Price and Staley reach semi-finals in singles. North Carolina ' Fournanient — Price and McCutcheon win doubles title. TEXXIS Ti:. AI 144 i FRESHMAN TENNIS I Following in the tracks of the Varsity racqvieteers the Freshman tennis team swept through the 1925 season undefeated, winning the North Carolina Freshman Champion- ship by virtue of its victories over both North Carolina and Duke University teams. After being victorious in two matches, being tied by Rock Hill Training School, Charlotte, the (irst- ear men took to tile road, coming home witli the scalps of both Carolina, Duke and Greensboro High upon their belts. The playing of the individual members of the team was at times brilliant, tin- fall of 1925 finding both Crosland and Carr holding down prominent berths upon the Davidson Varsity. For the first time in the history of the school the Freshman monogram was awarded to the tennis team, the players receiving the symbol with the following ranking: Cross- land, Dick Carr, Lockhart and Jimmie Vhartnn. R. Miller, ranking as Hfth man, made the trips and did some valuable |ila ing. The record of Davidson ' s first Fresh tennis teams stands as follows, a record that future teams will have to go strong to excel: Davidson Freshmen 2; Charlotte C. ( Iiib . i Davidson Freshmen 5; Charlotte C. CUil) . o Davidson Freshmen 3 ; Rock Hill Tr. School 3 Davidson Freshmen 4; Carolina Freshmen . 3 Davidson Freshmen 5; Duke I ' niv. Freshmen i Davidson Freshmen 6; tireensboro High . i Interfraternity Basketball OR the first time in the history of the College, the social fraternities entered into a basketball tournament, with the Phi Gamma Delta team winning the championship. Winning in succession from each of the three outstanding teams, the Phi Gams played through the elimination series a brand of ball that merited the championship honors. They drew a bye in the first round. The Phi Gams came back in the second period against the Delta Theta Chi to gain the lead and win, 25-17. The next two teams to fall before their attack were the S. A. E. team, by a one-point margin in a heart- breaking game, 25-24, and the Pi Kappa Phi team, 36-24, in the final championship contest. The series opened with the S. A. E. team, led by Buster Lawson, the high scoring man of the series, eliminating the Pyramid Club by a large score. The Delta Theta Chi team eliminated the Sigma Delta five ; the Kappa Sigma team eliminated the Pi Kappa Alphas, and the Pi Kappa Phi quint won from the Kappa Alpha team. Theta Upsilon Omega won from the Peta Theta Pi team. With the Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Phi, Delta Theta Chi, Kappa Sigma, and Theta Upsilon Omega teams left in the tournament, the teams prepared for the second round of elimination. The Phi Gam ' s, after trailing the Delta Theta Chi team throughout the entire first half and part of the second, overwhelmed the much weaker team in the final play. The S. A. E. five continued its triumphant march by winning from the Theta Upsilon Omega, and the Pi Kappa Phis won from the Kappa Sigs. The Pi Kappa Phi team drew a bye, and one of the best games of the series was staged between the S. A. E. ' s and the Phi Gams, with the latter nosing out by one point. The Phi (jam ' s won from the Pi Kappa Phi team in the hardest game of the tourney. The championship team was as follows: Jones and Coltrane, forwards; Long, center; Moore and O ' Neal, guards. The Pi Kappa Phi team which was the runner-up team to the champions, con- sisted of Hall and Kugler, J., forwards; Middleton, center, and Shaw and Kugler, F., at guards. Probably the best all-frat team that could be picked would consist of Kugler, J. (P. K. P.) and Coltrane (P. G. D.), forwards; Lawson (S. A. E.), center, and Baker (S. A. E.) and Moore (P. G. D.), guards. Other outstanding plavers of the series were: Forwards, Hall (P. K. P.), Storv (D. T. C), Watkins (K. S.) ; centers, Lawson (S. A. E.), Middleton (P. K. P.) ' ; guards, Baker (S. A.

Fraternity Resume RIEXDLINESS and co-operation between fraternity and non-fraternity men prevail at Davidson. There is also a spirit of equality among the various fraternities on the campus that makes fraternity life a thing beau- tiful and worthwhile. Everyone ignores a snob and fraternities here take a leading hand in this phase of public opinion. There are eight national fraternities which have chapters on the Hill and there are three wide-awake locals that are petitioning for national charters. The faculty has been lending its increased aid to the various chapters and a new era of fraternity life has begun at Davidson. Through the sanction of the Trustees, a large semi-circular plot of college ground has been set aside for the chapters to use in establishing a fraternity row. Five of the nationals are already at work upon their homes; two nationals are already in their houses, and have been for the entire collegiate year. The governing body of the fraternities is the Pan-Hellenic Council, composed of one representative from each of the eight national fraternities represented here. This Coun- cil has done exceedingly good work this year under the leadership of J. W. Anderson and in connection with the Faculty Committee on Fraternities: Dr. T. W. Lingle, Prof. A. Currie, and Prof. W. W. Wood. No doubt there are many other schools that have equally as good a fraternity system as Davidson has, but it would be extremely difficult to so com ince a man who has lived with and among the Greeks at Davidson.

There is one to represent nearly every phase of college work and Davidson is fortunate in having chap- ters of several noted national organizations. These fraternities serve as a recognition of exceptional ability, as an award for outstanding work along some line, and as an opportunity for advanced study and progress. The Honorary Fraternity Council governs the activities of these fra- ternities as a whole, and all matters of common interest are under its direction. A schedule of meeting dates is arranged, bid dates adjusted, and a hall for meetings maintained. This Council has proved an im- mense aid in stabilizing this department of college activity. 176 ' 77 Pki Beta Kappa (SchrjliirsliipJ III HKTA KAPPA was founded on December 5th, 1776, at the college nf William and Mary and is the oldest of the many college societies and fraternities. There is nothing of a secret character about the society and it strives solely for the promotion of scholarship. The initial impulse that led to its organization is attributed to John Heath, who was its first president. Hetween the years 1776 and 1780 fifty persons were elected to membership and these fifty are usually spoken of as the founders, who, including such names as John Marshall and William Madison, were all mcii of prominence in the judicial, literary, and social life of their times. At a meeting held January 6th, 1781, when the British army was approaching Wil- liamsburg and the suspension of the College was certain, the records of the society were entrusted to the care of the college steward. It is certain that the society would never have been organized had not the charter, and laws and form of initiation, been committed to Elisha Parmele, who was a graduate of Harvard, and through whom chapters were established at Yale in 1780 and at Harvard in 1781. Phi Beta Kappa is primarily an undergraduate society, although it admits to membership men and women distinguished in letters, science, or education.

The business managers of these three publications are responsible to this Board for the expenditure of the money entrusted to them. The Board has accomplished much toward the proper manage- ment of the College publications and has still greater latent possibilities. The works published here mirror the activities of Davidson and thus leave records for future years. Publications add much to the life of a college and authorities realizing this, give their approval and support to the weekly paper, the annual, and the literary magazine. The students hold the various publications in the highest esteem and mem- bership on their staffs is eagerly sought for by a large number of men. Hard and consistent work is re |uired and the students and public at large must decide whether or not the fruits are worthwhile. Davidsoman Staff C. F. Smith Edilor-in-Cli ' uj H. D.

KuYKEXDALL Circulation Manager Intercollegiate Debating wo ' aisity Intercollegiate Debates won, and a Fre hman Triangular Debate in wliii ' li the Wildkittcns were victorious on one side and were defeated on the other, tells the story of Intercollegiate Debates at Davidson during the year 1925. Of these debates, one Varsity and one Freshman Debate were held on the campus. For the debates, sixteen strong contenders tried for berths on the Varsity; and thirty-one Freshmen entered the Fresh tryouts. In both cases six principals and two alternates were chosen. The contenders for Varsity positions selected by the judges were arranged in teams for the coming debates. H. L. Shaw, Jr., ' 26; A. M. Martin, ' 25; and B. U. Katchford, ' 26; with J. E. Holshouser, ' 25 as alternate and manager composed the athrmative team, while R. B. Parker, ' 26; L. D. Wharton, Jr., ' 27; and A. Y. Bowie, jr., ' 1(1, composed the negative team, with W. H. Branch as alternate and manager. Martin, Ratchtord and Shaw won over the Presbyterian College of South Carolina by a vote of four to one while defending the affirmative of the query, Resolved: That Congress should be empowered to override, by two-thirds vote, decisions of the Supreme Court declaring Acts of Con- gress Unconstitutional. This debate was staged in Shearer Hall on the night of April 24th. One week later, on the night of May i, the Davidson negative team composed of Parker, Whar- ton and Bowie won a close decision over the Wake Forest debaters on the same question. The beautiful Queens College auditorium was the scene of this encounter of wits, which was witnessed bv an interested audience of Queens students and citizens of Charlotte, besides some score of Davidson students who went to Charlotte for the occasion. Of the six debaters representing Davidson against Presbyterian College and Wake Forest, all were making their debut into Intercollegiate Debating, though all had been active in inter-society work, where Martin, Ratchford, Shaw and Bowie had won medals for debating work, Parker had represented his societv in two inter-society contests, and ' harton was a member of the Freshman team of the preceding year which met the Wake Forest Freshmen. The question for debate in the Freshman triangular debate with Carolina and Wake Forest was Resolved: That North Carolina should ratify the Port Terminal and Water Transportation Act. Fhe affirmative team of each school was on their home floor, Davidson meeting the Wake Forest negative team in Shearer Hall and the University team at Chapel Hill. The result of this debate was a triple tie, the affirmative team winning in every instance. Davidson ' s Freshmen Debaters on the affirmative team were F. D. Daniel, L. K. Pritchett, and ' I ' yree Dillard; F. W. Ebey acting as alternate and manager. H. J. Powell, J. P. McKnight, and II. F. Peterson were the principals against Carolina, and M. M. Lockhart was the manager. Of the six principals and two alternates on Varsity debates, R. B. Parker and L. D. Wharton are members of the Metrophilian Societv; H. L. Shaw, Jr., is a Pandeinic; B. U. Ratchford and J. E. Holshouser are Philanthropies; and A. M. Martin, A. Y. Bowie and W. H. Branch arc Eumeneans. The Freshman teams were comprised of four principals and one a ' ternate from the Eumenean: Tvree Dillard, F. D. Daniel, J. P. McKnight, H. F. Peterson and F. W. Ebey. H. J. Powell is a Metrophilian; L. K. Pritchett, a Philanthropic, and M. M. Lockhart, a meinber of the Pandeinic. The net results of the year give a favorable balance to Davidson in a ratio of two to oiie in Varsitv debates, which ratio has been upheld during the twenty years in which Davidson has taken part in Intercollegiate Debating.

KASTKK KU(; HINT HETWEKX FKATKUNITIKS LOCAL CHAI rKKS I ' AUTK ' Il ' ATK On last Wednesday tho Annual Inter-Fratern- ity Easter Egg Hunt was held on tho new Col- lege Golf Course. Tho affair was one of the largest social events of tho past year. All day long merry groups of lads were chasing here and there with pencil and pad recording the score. The eggs had been cleverly concealed by the Janitors the night before, and at day- break everything was in readiness for the big event. All the eggs had been prepared by local hens and colored artiflcially by expert egg color- ers brought to the campus from the peacock farm of the Paint Brothers in Delaware. Mr. I. B. Puny, the winner, is a member of tho local chapter Snappa Thl Fraternity. Mr. Puny is a big man on the campus and was expected to bo In tho finals. It will be remem- bered that he won tho silver thimble for mak- ing the largest scoro in the clap-in-clap-out contest held In the Gym last fall. Tho third re-count showed that Mr. Puny had 72 colored eggs. 8 white ones and 12 golf balls. As only the colored eggs were allowed to count, his scoro was reduced to 52. His prize, a black ebony rooster engraved, Hasn ' t Scratched Yet, was given by the purity committee of tho local Society for the Improvement of College Boy Morals. Mr. Otto Clinch of the Dogga Phi Helta carried off second honors with 48 eggs and Mr. Ikthus Fish of Atea I otta Roo crowd was third with 46 eggs and two stones. An old-fashioned marshmalloW roasting con- test was held in tho evening and all who had marshmallow roasters were allowed to enter. Tho party was the most successful yet held.

Flunkem of Davidson village, was united in the bonds of holy matrimony, at sunrise, April first. All Fools Day, at the home of the groom ' s pa- rents, to Miss Ima Fule. Mr. Flunkem, doggy in a primrose blush that traversed his entire countenance, may easily be regarded as the most attractive groom seen recently in these parts. The groom was attended by Mr. Nut as groomsman. As the wedding party ap- proached the altar, the bridesgroom, lovely to behold, was the cynosure of all eyes. Lisp- ing beautifull} ' he replied to the questions of the clergyman in o v tones but hrm. He was charmingly clad in a three-piece suit, consisting of coat, vest and pants. The coat of some dark material was draped about the shoulders and tastefully gathered under the arms. A pretty story was current among the wedding guests that the coat ' as the same worn by his father and great-grandfather on their wedding days. Mr. Flunkem did not deny the truth of this little sentimental touch. The vest was sleeveless, meeting in front. It was gracefully fashioned with pockets and buttons of sable mother of pearl, being held together at the back by strap and buckle. Conspicuous on the front of the vest was the groom ' s favorite heirloom, a red cross pin, and from the upper left pocket was sus- pended a lovely Ingersoll Radiolite, the bride ' s gift to the groom, which flashed in brilliance, adding a tasteful touch to a costume in per- fect harmony and accord. The groom ' s pants were of some dark wor- sted and were suspended from the waist, fall- ing in a straight line almost to the floor. The puritanic simplicity of the cut and style was relieved appropriately by the right pantalet which was caught up about three or four inches below the knee by a Paris Ivory Grips worn underneath, revealing just an artistic glimpse of Real Silks above the genuine John Ward leather shoes, laced with black shoe strings, the general impression of which was decidedly chic. Beneath the vest the groom wore blue gal- luses, attached fore and aft to the pants and passing in graceful curves over each shoulder. The daintiest and most utilitarian part of the costume wouM have passed unnoticed had not the groom fumbled the ring when the grooms- man passed it to him. When he stooped to recover the errant circulet the cerulean hue of the galluses was prettily revealed. The groom ' s neck was encircled with a snow white collar characterized by a delicate sawedge. Around the collar was loosely knot- ted so as to ride up under the left ear with that studied carelessness which marks supreme artistry in dress. Mr. Nut ' s costume was essentially sim- ilar to that of the groom. As the two stood upon the altar, a hush of awed admiration en- ' eloped the audience at the complete and wonderful harmony of the raiment. But for a medium sized patch of court plaster worn by the groom over a niche in the chin caused by a nervous safety razor, it would have been difficult for the guests in the rear of the chapel to have told the groom from the groomsman. Neither of the gentlemen wore hats during the ceremony, but the parson was careful to an- nounce that the groom would don his Finch- ley cap immediately following the ceremony. As the bridal party left the chapel, en route to the central station, where would be- gin an extensive wedding tour, it was noted that the bride wore the customary veil and orange blossoms.
