MOORE Business Manager f OREWORJD A S THE YEARS go by, and memory grows dim, the recollection of col- lege days becomes faint. This chronicle of college memories, permeated with the stirring spirit of West Virginia, will al- ways be a source of remembrance, — a re- membrance of the most hopeful and hap- py days of our lives. May you always value it as a treasure of undying college memories, and may you never lose the touch of that true Mountaineer spirit, engendered by a faith in the future of our State, and West Vir- ginia University. .yr N. pj f ' ' IOedicavtion I 1 if fAVO NT I CO ILAr. 7 ' o pity distress is but human. To relieve it is godlike. — Horace Mann. rmS volume of the Monticola is dedicated to a man who is one of the State ' s most distinguished citizens, Otto Schenk. Not only does his life demonstrate that honesty, unremitting toil, and a will to succeed are prerequisites of success, but through his wide-spread phil- anthropy and promotion of idealism he has established himself as one of the state ' s most valuable citizens. He is a native of West Virginia, educated in the university of hard work. His life is a record of inestimable service to the state. He is officer or director in five banks, chairman of many civic organiza- tions, and president of the Associated Charities. A successful business career is but an incident in his eventful life. His ambition has been to make this state a happier place to live in. By numerous charitable contributions, and by a sincere devotion to edu- cational institutions, he has become an inspiration to those who would benefit their fellowmen. He has assisted hundreds of young men in their efforts to secure an education, and when they have finished and taken up their life work, he feels fully repaid. He has taken an active interest in the Y. M. C. A., and in thj Y. W. C. A., and in all Christian organizations working for a worthy cause. In recognition of a great service to our state, educational institu- tions, and humanity in general, we dedicate this volume of the Mon- ticola to OTTO SCHENK. successful business man, philanthropist, idealist, promoter of education.

ANEW milestone of educational progress was firmly imbedded in state soil when Dr. John Roscoe Turner was formally inaug- urated the tenth president of West V irginia University on November 29, 1928 to succeed Dr. Frank Butler Trotter. The impressive ceremonies took place in the spacious new Men ' s Field House, before a brilliant concourse of several thousand persons, including representatives of more than fifty universities and colleges, state dignitaries, faculty members, leading citizens, alumnae, and students. The program which preceded the formal inauguration was so well arranged and conducted as to produce fervored approbation. The march of the undergrauates initiated the programmed events of the day. Then the colorful academic procession slowly wended its way from Martin Hall to the Field House with impressive step. The presiding chairman. Judge Edward G. Smith took charge of the assemblage in the Field House shortly after 2:30 o ' clock. After invocation by Dr. Robert Armstrong, a delightful and inspiring mus- ical program offered entertainment to the vast audience. Judge Smith then formally inducted Dr. Turner into office, and the new president delivered his inaugural address. Dr. Turner embraced the desire for immediate progress for est Virginia University in setting forth his elaborate educational program. After congratulatory remarks by Governor Howard M. Gore and Edward S. Parsons, President of Mari- etta College, Dr. Armstrong pronounced benediction, and the exer- cises closed with a short musical program by the Cadet Band. - Page Twenty-Nine fAVOINTI CO LAs Administrative Officers of the Ufiiversity President of University Registrar of University Dean of Men Dean of Women Dean Dean Dear Director Dean ADMINISTRATION College of Arts and Sciences College of Law College of Engineering College of Agriculture School of Music School of Medicine School of Pharmacy Summer School Dr. John Roscoe Turner Prof. .A.

As % Mountaineer TVeek On March 27 began the third annual Mountaineer Week, in which seventeen of the leading high schools of the state were visited by nine student men. The aim of this visit was to create a better understanding of the University among high school students and to acquaint the peo- ple of the state with problems of the University and its future. Led by George Jackson, captain of the teams, the following men visited the folloviring schools in the order named: George Jackson, Clar- ence Keefer, and John Zevely went to Parkersburg, Williamson, V il- liamstown, and Logan high schools; J. Brooks Lawson, E. Gaujot Bias, and Kendall Keeney visited Fairmont and East Side high schools, Wash- and Victory high schools at Clarks- high schools; Paul Holland, Charles ted Wheeling. Triadelphia, Warwood, Cumberland. William T. Fahey was ington-lrving, Wilson-Roo burg, and Belington and Elkin Littlepage, and John Phillips vi Wellsburg, Follansbee, and NeM publicity manager. The men selected to represent the University weie selected on the basis of scholarship and active participation in campus activities that bring them into close contact with all phases of University life. It may be interesting to note that the Mountaineer Week this year was sponsored entirely by the student body. This however, brought about a shortage in finances and as a result the number of days of vis- iting was cut down from five to two. The number of high schools visited this year was cut down from seventy to fifteen. Pnac n„r lliinilrf,! Flflv-Fnur AVONTICOLA: Left to riuhl. First Row: Churlea Liltlep«K -. Jock evcly, J.

West Virginia ' s set up game on the opening of the 1928 season was turned into a sad defeat. The Hurricane pointed for this game and as a result their season was termed a success as soon as the final whistle blew. West Virginia opened the offensive and an exchange of punts resulted in the open- ing plays. D. St E. passed within its own territory, and Warren, Hurricane left half- back, took the pass for a gain of 41 yards, to the Mountaineer 17 yard line. Another pass and the ball was on the 7 yard line, where Rcngle carried it over for the touchdown on the fourth play. Smith kicked the Eonl to make the score D. E. 7. West Virginia 0. At the beginning of the second half West Viiginia showed some real offensive play- ing. Hagberg intercepted a pass in mid-held, and upon gaining possession of the ball West Virginia opened up its aerial attack. .A Slumpplhrown pass to Garrett put the Mountaineers on the D. E. 17 yard line. 1 he Hurricane ' s forwards held and at at- tempted pass was intercepted on the 3 yard line halting West Virginia s march to a touch- down. The last quarter found the Mountaineers in a desperate drive trying to tic the score. Keefer s line plunging and mixed with a good passing game again took the ball into the D. E. territory, but just as it seemed that West Virginia was about to score, Rengle, one of the D. k E. backs intercepted a beautiful pass that looked like a sure touchdown.

Two passes, and three line plunges by Keefer, gave the Mountaineers their second touchdown. The extra point was made, making the score West Virginia 13, Haskell 0. By virtue of passes the Indians carried the ball to the West Virginia 7 yard 1 nc, where the Mountaineer linemen held as the half ended. Stumpps quick kick put the ball back to the Haskell goal line during the third quar- ter Scott blocked the attempted punt and the ball rolled out of the end zone giving West Virginia a safety. West Virginia scored its third touchdown during this period making its gains principally through the line, with Keefer adding most of the yards, and n ' so the touchdown.

On October 13th the Mountaineers invaded the Pitt Stadium in the Smoky City. The traditional fighting spirit of the West ' ir;?mian3 brought them one of the most glorious vicories in the history ot this institution. Coach Jock Suherland ' s practice game resulted in the first defeat the Panthers have lasted in their stadium. Although an upset in the eyes of the Eastern football critics, every loyal West Virginia fan went up to Pittsburgh with the determination to Beat Pitt, and we did, and how! The first quarter had the ball traveling from one end of the field to the other. Sev- eral times Pitt threatened, but only to be held for downs when it got within the West Virginia 20 yard line. Pitt, during the second quarter, got its only score after a long march down the field, in which Parkinson continually battered the West Virginia line. Then Uansa slipped off tackle for the Panther touchdown. But the infuriated Mountaineer linemen swarmed through on the try for a placement goal, and i ittle Sleepy Glenn blocked the kick. The excellent physical condition of the West Virginia team began to show up as the second half began, and by the beginning of the last quarter the Pitt team was com- pletely demoralized. About the middle of the third qu.Trter. Bartrug leaped high into the air to intercept another Panther pass, and he carried the ball to the Pitt 4 yard line before being downed. Keefer hit the line for two yards in two tries, and then the Pitt defense drawn up for another line play, Stumpp tossed a pass to Lang over the goal line for the touchdown. Little Sleepy Glenn kicked the goal with Stumpp holding the ball, making the score West Virginia 7, Pitt 6. With their backs against their own goal line, the Panthers were trying desperately to kick out of danger, but the Moutaineer forwards were hitting the line so hard that the Pitt center made a bad pass to Rooney who ran out of the end zone to get the ball, reg- istering an automatic safety for West Virginia.

The next game found the Mountaineers defeating CarneRie Tech, by the score of 54 to 19. Before a crowd of 3,000 the first Big Four opponent furnished little excitement. CoacK Stadsvold ' s crew showed some fine team work, and passed the ball in rings around the famous Plaid. Captain Black and Taylor were both back in the lineup, but neither started but saw action in both periods. Little Sleepy Glenn was high scorer for the evening with 15 points. Swede Hagberg contributed 10 points. Eddie Stumpp hurt his trick knee and had to be carried from the floor. Ross ' West Virginia Wesleyan basketball team found the going rather rough in choosing the Mountaineers to open their 1929 season. The Varsity traveled to Buckhannon and defeated the Bobcats 3 7-18. However the score at the end of the first half was 1 9 to 8, but in the last half the Mountaineers gradually drew away with a big lead.

The score was 44 to 21. This was the fifth consecutive victory for the West Virginians, in spite of some- what ragged teamwork in the opening period. Again Little Sleepy Glenn led the team in scoring, getting 20 points from 9 baskets and two fouls. On Friday evening, January 18. the Mountaineers traveled to Pittsburgh and defeated the Pitt Panther by the score of 40 to 35. The game was anybody ' s from beginning to end for the score was lied no less than ten times throughout the contest. Coach Stadsvold ' s tossers, though rated as the underdog, as usual in Pittsburgh, played hard, clean basketball throughout the game and with a strong finish were able to |)ile up a five point lead as the game ended. The whole team deserves much credit for this victory, but as usual the scoring honors go to M. Glenn. He scor- ed 17 points, just one point less than the famous Hyatt of Pitt. However the West Virginia ace outscored his rival from the field, getting 8 field goals to Hyatt ' s 7. Pngc Two Hundred Two rAVONTICOLAs To bcKin the second semester right, the University basket- ball team defeated Cam Henderson ' s Scarlet Hurricane 44 to 30. The same was fast throughout, but both teams had an off night at the basket. Glenn and Hagberg were the high scorers for the Mountaineers, getting 15 and 13 respectively. Plaster was again the big man in the defense, netting a basket for himself also. The Elkins team was built around this man and though he failed them in the first half, he came back and played the whole second half, getting 10 of his team ' s total points. Geneva College has the honor of being the first team to de- feat the Mountaineers in their new Field House. Geneva brought a big team to Morgantown and as the second half drew near to a close they piled up a big lead to make the final score 42 to 24. Incidentally both teams had a winning streak of seven games when they went on the floor. In spile of the absence of Hagbeig. the West Virginians carried on through the first half leading at the end of this period by the score of 1 8 to 16. But soon after the beginning of the second period the height of the visitors began to telj the storv. and they gradually pulled away from the Mountain- eers. The West Virginians sorely missed iheir big center and their play was ragged throughout the contest. Much credit is due the Geneva team however for they were on and carried the ball down the court at will. In the final home game before their long road trip, the Mountaineers triumphed over West Virginia Wesleyan 50 to 26. The game was rather listless throughout, and even though they won by a large score, the Mountaineers were still off form. Bart- rug, starting his second game in place of Hagberg who has been on the injured list, was high scorer for the evening and showed considerable form. He had 14 points, while Lepera contributed 1 1 and Glenn 9. Plaster continued his good work at guard. HAGEBERG RADCLIFFE In the first game of their long road trip, the Mountaineers met with their second defeat of the season. The annual game with Washington and Lee was again played at the Vanity Fair hall in Huntington, and when the final whistle ended the game W. and L. was on the long end of the 42 to 37 score. The first half was anybody ' s game, the score at the end of this period being 19 to 18 in favor of the Virginians. The second half found the Generals gradually gaining, ending the game with a five point lead over the Mountaineers. Taylor scored 1 1 points for West Virginia. The following Monday found the Mountaineers taking a one- sided game from V. P .1. at Bluefield. Getting back to the old form. West Virginia played real basketball throughout, and as a result of the big lead Coach Stadsvold was able to use his entire squad of 10 men, thus giving the regulars somewhat of a rest. Glenn, Hagberg and Taylor were all tied for high point honors, each contributing I 1 points. Tuesday found the Mountaineers in Charlottesville, Va. Here they met and defeated the University of Virginia 45 to 36. Vir- ginia had the lead throughout the first half and part of the sec- ond half. The West Virginians however staged a last minute rally to overcome the lead. Black had 10 points, while Lepera and Hagberg each scored 9. On the following night West Virginia defeated the Army at U ' esI Point, in an extra period game, 39 to 34. This was the big game on the West Virginia schedule and the Mountaineers played brilliantly to win it. The score at half time was 17-17. •At the end of the regular playing period it was 31-31. Glenn was back to form and scored 17 points, while Taylor had 10. fAVONTI CO LA. West Virginia lost the second game of its trip to Temple at Philadelphia, 40 to 29. The game was played on a small court and was rough throughout. The score at the half was 1 8 to 16 in favor of Temple, but the Mountaineers couldn ' t seem to func- tion properly in the second half. Taylor scored 9 points, while Glenn had 8. Georgetown was the next victim of the Mountaineers in the final game of the long road trip. Georgetown rallied in the last half to make the final score 49 to 44 after trailing by nine points at the half. Glenn and Taylor were both ' on and scored 18 and I 6 points respectively. Allegheny, who the night before had trimmed Geneva, fell before the Mountaineers in their first home game after the road trip. The game was fast throughout, and though the West Vir- ginians had the lead continually the final score only gave the Mountaineers a nine point advantage. 38 to 29. The Varsity seemed to function smoothly after their tiresome road trip. Glenn scored 15 points and Taylor contributed 10. Dennison scored 16 points tor the losers. West Virginia traveled to Pittsburgh to play its return game with Carnegie Tech, defeating them by the score of 46 to 31. The Mountaineers only had a 6 point lead at the half, but the last period found them easily drawing away from the Plaid. Glenn had the best night he has had this season, scoring 10 field goals and 2 out of 2 fouls, for a total of 22 points. On the following night the Mountaineers defeated Grove , at Grove City, Penna., by the score of 44 to 35. West Vir- put up a brilliant gam e against the Grovers and the outcome never in doubt. Taylor had 14 points and Glenn scored 12. Cit; The W. dk J. Presidents proved a strong foe at Washington, Pa. and West Virginia was extended to win from them, 3 3 to 21. A second half rally pulled the game out of doubt, after the Pres- idents held the Mountaineers to a one point lead at the half. Glenn contributed four field goals and a cuup ' .e of fouls for a total of 10 points for the evening. A record breaking crowd saw Pitt beat the Mountaineers, 41 to 1 9 in the big home game of the West Virginia schedule. This was a complete upset, especially by such a decisive score, for the Mountaineers had defeated Pitt in Pittsburgh earlier in the season. Both Hyatt and Glenn were off form, the former only securing 9 points, while the Mountaineer star contributed 4. West Virginia continued its slump at Elkins. losing to the Scarlet Hurricane 49 to 43. The game was rough throughout and as a result three D. E. men and four Mountaineers were eliminated from the game on personal fouls. Peters, the big Indian center for D. E. starred for the victors. Glenn had a good night contributing I 5 points to the West Virginia score. The last game of the season was lost to the W. J. Presi- dents by the .score of 46 to 25. The Mountaineers seemed to be off more in this game than in any other throughout the se.ison. Though it was rather disappointing to the West Virginia fans to sec the Mountaineers lose to such a poor team, it undoubtedly showed the strains of the long season and hard road trip upon the physical condition of the West Virginia team. Glenn was again high scorer for the evening contributing I 3 points or over half of the Mountaineers total score. Robinson of W. J. had nine field goals to hia credit and three out of three fouls for a total of 2 1 points. TAYLOR immmmmm Vag Two JIuiuInd I ' ou 4 rAVONTICOLA.

The Varsity registered five fails and two time decisions against one fall for the visitors, making the score 31 to 5. Cooper, Captain Cox, Brill, Higgins and Nixon scored falls over their opponents, whih Ruble and Meyers each won their match on large time advantages. Cole, returning to the mat after two years idleness, failed to show his old form and was thrown by Captain Ford of Waynesburg for the visitors ' only points. The University of Michigan gave Harrick ' s men some little trouble in the second match of the season. The match was one of the closest ever seen here, the final bout deciding the match. Cooper gained a fall in the first bout, and Captain Cox after an extra period gained a decision over Hewett, a National Champion. Brill won his bout with a large time advantage, but Meyers, Higgins, Harrick and Brewster all lost on time advantages. Thus with Michigan in the lead 12 to II. Nixon went into the unlimited bout with the determination to win the deciding match. In the last three minutes of the bout Nixon got the body scissors on his opponent and won the contest with a time ad- vantage. This final victory for the Mountaineers make the final score I 4 to 12. The West Virginia wrestlers hung up their third consecutive victory at the expense of Ohio State. The Buckeye match proved to be another thriller similar to the Michigan match. Cooper and Cox both had close calls in the final minutes of their bouts, but each had gained time advantage before this. Brill also gained a time decision over his oppo- nent, to give the Mountaineers a 9 to lead for the first three bouts. Meyers lost his bout by a time advantage, but Bill Harrick pulled the surprise of the evening in gain- ing a quick fall over Hudak who was supposed to be the Buckeye ' s best bet. Higgi.is then lost on a time decision, but Brewster gained back these three points by a time ad- vantage over his opponent. Nixon lost his bout by a time decision, making the final count West Virginia 17; Ohio State 1 I. Between semesters the University wrestling team journeyed to Stillwater, Okla. to meet the Oklahoma Aggies, National Collegiate Champions. As the result of such oppo- sition Coach Harrick ' s matmen met their first defeat of the season. Captain Cox gained himself some national recognition in winning his bout by a fall, incidentally scoring all of the Mountaineers ' points. Cooper, Brill, Meyers, Higgins and Harrick all lost on timn decisions, while the Nixon brothers were both thrown, making the final score Oklahoma 25; West Virginia 5. West Virginia wrestlers took their second successive defeat at the hands of last year ' s Big Ten Champions, Illinois, by the score of 24 to 8. The first bout of the even- ing was a surprise in that Cooper lost on a time decision. Captain Cox however con- tinued to keep his slate clean, and won his bout with a large time advantage. Brill also lost by a fall. The Mountaineer veteran hurt himself during the tussle and was in a bad way after that. Johnson, Cole and Higgins all lost their bouts on time decisions, and Levine was thrown in the 175 pound class. Ted Nixon, however, ended the match with some excitement in winning the final bout by a fall. The West Virginia grapplers finished their season by losing to the Navy. The future admirals defeated the Mountaineers I 7 to 8 before the largest crowd to ever attend a wrestling match at the University. The first bout was a surprise to local tans in that Cooper lost by a fall to the Navy captain, Ashford. Captain Cox came right back in th • next bout to tie the score by throwing his opponent. Brill. Meyers, Harrick and T. Nixon all lost their matches on time decisions. G. Nixon gave West Virginia three more points by a time advantage over his man in the last bout of the evening. The West Vir- ginia team finished its season with three victories and three defeats. The feature of the evening was that Captain Cox completed his last year with a clean slate.

The Varsity record of two victories in three dual meets, in which events it amassed a total of 267 ' i points to the opposition ' s 13 7 ' ,{;, and the annexation of the Big Four title, as well as the winning of the medley distance relay at the Ohio Relays Carnival, were meritorious of the consideration accorded it. What is generally conceded to have been the best freshman team in the history was that of the same season, the plebes having won the Little Four title by winning their two meets, one from the University of Pittsburgh frosh und the other from the Carnegie Tech yearlings. In these two meets they amassed a total of 174 2 3 points to 77 1 3. Despite the loss of two of the best distance runners ever to w ear the Gold and Blue, Captain John Stender and Ralph Buvinger, it was generally considered at the close of last season that the veteran nucleus would provide another strong team one possibly stronger than that of 1928. Injuries and ineligibilities, however, jinxed Coach Art Smith ' s squad and several of those persons counted as pivot points were missing when the 1929 season got under way. The first serious blow was the loss of Albert ( Big Sleepy ) Glenn, who became ineligible when he assumed the coaching dutie.s as tutor of freshmen in the 1929 basket- ball campaign, thus removing the only experienced high jumper, a first-class hurdler and good javelin thrower. Then came the loss of Marcus Brand, sophomore distance run- ner who was counted upon as the one person to fill the gap left by Captain Stender. Brand developed an attack of appendicitis during the indoor track season and was forced to un- dergo an operation, thus removing him from outdoor activities in the early part of the campaign. Most serious of all blows came in the opening dual meet when Vental Waggoner, sophomore sprinter and jumper, was injured and rendered unfit for the season. As a consequence of these important removals and other subsequent injuries, the Varsity ranks were depleted as the season got into full swing. rAVOMTICOUA , Fafje Two llu ilr ' ' ,t sirtr. n r VVONTI CO L A.

MARSH OWEN HAMILTON •f P«pw P  ' T S SB AVONTICOLA. COACH VACHERESSE Summary of Season For the first time in the history of West Virginia University. inter-Collegiate Boxing was introduced in the regular routine of Winter sports. Eddie Vacheresse. gridiron hero and diamond artist, was selected to coach the many aspirants and proved himself to be more than capable of filling the bill. Soon after practice began it was found that included in the roster were two very capable performers. Harry Stunkard and Krebs. Both were accomplished boxers and proved a nucleus around which Coach Vacheresse built his team. Due to the fact that no preliminary schedule had been made previous to the intro- duction of the sport only one bout was fought, and thai was with Penn State ' s veteran mit team. The bout was staged at State College. Pa. before one of the largest crowds ever to witness such an encounter in that city. Stunkard and KreLs both won their bouts in over-time periods, but the main feature of the bout was the fight that Bob Latham, W. V. U. 160 pounder, put up against Captain Allie Wolf. Penn State ' s intercollegiate champion. Latham won the first round, but a blow to the body in the second weakened him and the referee stopped the fight and awarded a technical knockout to Wolf. In the 115 pound class Parks of Penn State won over Marsh of West Virginia. In the 125 pound class Epstein of Penn State won over Hamilton, the bout being very close as was the previous one. In the 135 pound class Stunkard took the aggressive with the opening of the bell but at ' he end of three rounds of fighting the referee ruled it a draw and sent the two men into an extra round, Stunkard winning by a comfortable margin. In the 145 pound division Krebs was forced to go into the fourth round to win over his opponent although the spectators seemed to think hat the West Virginian had won as did the Penn State opponent, Davis, who rushed over at the end of the third round to congratulate him. In the I 7 5 pound class Mc.Andrews secured a decision over Nick Latham of W. V. U., it however, being a very close decision. Owing to the fact that West Virginia was not represented in the heavyweight class the bout was forfeited to Penn State making the finji score 5-2 in favor of their opponents. ■ii.;.- Tuo Huttilnd Tticnty-Onc r iSii AVO NT I C O L AsB I ' agc Two Uiiiiilrcd T cciity-Tico 7AVO NT I CO L A is Baseball ■ _jMh Jk i MJHV i -  ifsr • A II I ' .lyf rico Wiuijp-.j r , ni!)-rhiee fAVONTICOLAs l l ii c Iwo Uunihi-a 3 ' u,cii(i -Four rAVOINTi CO L As 9 • JVIBC ,. •V CAPT.

As 1928 Baseball Review Eleven victories and four defeats comprised the record established by the Varsity baseball team of 1928, a seasonal mark which surpasses the major portion of those of the past ten years. A strong nucleus of veterans with the addition of three first-cla:;s sophomores to the ' Varsity ranks, in Russell ( Bus ) LaRue, third baseman; Earl ( Cutie ! Wolfe, catcher; and Charles Bruns, pitcher; provided a well-rounded team as the 1928 season opened, and five straight games were annexed before Clarksburg of the Middle-Atlantic leagu, ad- ministered the first defeat. Then the Varsity took its trip through the mid-west, opening with a pair of defeats at the hands of Notre Dame sluggers, and closing with three decisive victories over a trio of strong teams representing Michigan State. Upon its return here a split of the Marshall College series of two games resulted, and then the closing victory over Creensburg of the Western Pennsylvania league. Bill Harrick, veteran left fielder, who led the team in slugging, was elected to lead the 1929 team, and he opened the latter campaign auspiciously by again hitting over .450 per cent in the first half dozen games. The 1 928 season, however, proved in some respects, a distasteful one. for it marked the passing of two of the greatest fielders and hitters ever to don West Virginia uniforms, as well as two veteran hurlers of much value. George Hand, said to have been the best fielding outfielder ever produced here, and George ( Ducky ) Phillips, captain and short- stop; John Harsanyi and Sammy Lopinsky, both pitchers were the outstanding men who were lost, along with Rinehart. a pitcher-outfielder who aided much in the successes of the latter part of the 1928 campaign. All of these posts proved difficult to fill as the current season opened, and ail were considered the weak spots of the team as the 1929 campaign was launched.

SAMUEL Intramural Athletics for Men As AN integral part of the new Department of Physical Education, headed by Dr. Carl P. Schott, there has come to the University this year a Department of Intramural sports under the directorship of Professor Harry L. Samuel, a graduaie of Michigan and Columbia. Professor Samuel comes to us from the University of Michigan where he has been a big factor in carrying on the most extensive and complete progr im of IntramuraU which exists anywhere in the country. West Virginia Alumni can point with pride to the fact that the University is the first school in the East to employ a lull time Director of Intramural Sports. What are intramural sports? What does this word intramural mean? It is de- rived from the two Latin words intra meaning within, and muralisv meaning wall. Literally speaking the term Intramural Athletics means athletics within the walls of a particular school or institution. Intramural Athletics, thus provide us with our avenue of approach to an ideal we have long heard talked about but never fully real- ized, namely, athletics for all. Intramurals at West Virginia The first activity of the Fall program just completed was Speedball, a game new to West Virginians. This game was first introduced at the University of Michigan as a sub- stitute for football and soccer. The game retains all the features of soccer football and in addition has some of the best features of basketball and regulation football. The gam- was first introduced on the local campus thru the showing in Commencement Hall of a Pnyc rico IJundrcd Twcnty-Eii ht rAVONTICOLA:. two-reel motion picture of an actual game and showed some of the fundamentals of the game in slow motion. A crowd of about four hundred witnessed the presentation of this film. Actual play got under way on October 8lh and the game was received with unex- pected enthusiasm, the boys taking to the game like ducks to water. A round robin tour- nament was conducted for the fraternities. Twenty-three out of twenty-five fraternities on the campus entered teams in this sport. They were divided into leagues, there being three five-team leagues and two four-team leagues. Each of these teams met every other team in its league and on the basis of games won and lost the following five teams came thru as winners of their respective leagues: Delta Tau Delta, lau Kappa Epsilon. Tau Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Sigma and Phi Sigma Delta. These league winners were then bracketed and met in an elimination tournament to decide the inter-fraternity champion- ship. Tau Kappa Epsilon and Phi Sigma Delta went into the finaU and the former emerg- ed as the inter-fraternity champion by virtue of its defeat of the latter on the old athletic field on Saturday afternoon, November 3rd. No one of these teams played less than three games and Tau Kappa Epsilon, the champion played in all seven games. There wrre 494 different men who took part in the games. Four games were played each afternoon and in all there were forty-eight games played between the fraternities. Following the inter-fraternity speedball competition a tournament for non-frateriiity teams was conducted. There were three such teams, the Sharpes, the Unknowns and the Stiff-Joints. Here 34 additional men took part and the Stiff-Joints were returned the winners. Next followed a tournament for the inter-class championship. There were eleven teams in this competition, playing a round robin in leagues and the Freshman A. A. ' s, the Freshman Laws and the Junior A. B.s won in their respective league cham- pionships. In the elmination series for the class championship the Junior A. B. ' s cam ' ; •-hru victorious after a hard battle with the Freshman A. B. ' s. who forced the Juniors to play thru two overtime periods before bowing to defeat. The cl.iss leagues brought out 129 different participants. Alumni may wonder where these games were played. Two fields were uaed, one located south of Chemistry Hall on a plot that had been laid out by the University gar- dener as a lawn. The other was laid out on the old .-Athletic Field behind Commence- ment Hall. Part of the field ran over on to the practice field of the Varsity football team but the project had the endorsement of Coach Rodgers and Direcor Stansbury and no inconvenience was experienced by cither the Varsity or intramural players. The regulation speedball field is the rame size as a regulation football field. Both of these improvised fields were much too small to be adequate, the one near Chemistry Hall being 76 yards by 22 yards and the one on the old ,Athletic field being 80 yards by 40 yards. At the same time that speedball was under way there was being conducted a Fall tennis tournament in both singles and doubles. In spite of the fact that not a single tennis court was available on the campus it was possible to complete play in the singles tournament by using five tennis courts in the city, the use of which were obtained thru personal appeal to the Morgantown Country Club, the Evansdale Tennis Club and a pri- vate family in Westover. Inclement weather forced the discontinuance of play m the doubles before they could be completed but the singles championship of the University was won by H. C. Levis 31, of Buffalo. N. Y.. who defeated N. Ragland ' 30 of Beckley. W. Va.. in a thrilling five set match. There were 68 men entered in the singles tourna- ment and 26 pairs in the doubles. In the mean time students had been training for the first Inter-fraternity and All- Campus Cross-Country races ever held at the University. Cross-Country running is a strenuous sport, especially when one h.Ts to climb the hills that extend upward in all direc- tions from the site of the University. In order to be eligible to compete in either of these races each contestant was requited to run over the course, which covered a distance of two and one-eighth miles, at least nine times before the day of the race and in addition in order to insure that he was in fit physical trim he was required to have his heart and lungs examined at the health service and present before noon on the day of the race a statement from Dr. Kessel that he was in fit shape to compete in this activity. Those men who had been playing speedball were permitted to substitute the playing of three games of speedball for three of the practice runs which meant that each man had run the course at the very least six times before taking part in the races. AXOMTICOLA. Sixteen men representing seven fraternities faced the starter ' s gun on Thursday after- noon, November 22nd. Kappa Sigma fraternity by virtue of placing men in first, fifth and tenth positions won the race with the low point score of sixteen. In a Cross-Country race the lowest score wins, since each man to finish scores the same number of points for his team as the position in which he finished indicates. The scores of the first three men to finish for any one fraternity counted in the scoring. Mickey Brand ' 31, representing Kappa Sigma was the individual winner and his lime for the two and one-eighth mile jaunt was 12 minutes and 21 seconds. It should be noted that all sixteen men to start in this race finished and none showed any evidence of being worn out, thus showing the impor- tance of having men train for this kind of a contest. Six men faced the starter on the following Tuesday, November 27th, in the All- Campus race held over the same course. This race was open to both fraternity and non- fraternity men. Charles E. Leiphart ' 3 1, of Wheeling was the winner of this event. His time for the course was considerably better than that made in the inter-fraternity race, being 12 minutes and 5 seconds, which at present is the record for the course. All six starters finished the run. The first three to finish will be given jerseys with their class numerals thereon. Realizing that the Faculty needs recreative activity as well as the student body a faculty horseshoe pitching tournament was conducted this fall. Eighteen entered for the singles and sixteen were in the doubles. Inclement weather prevented either of these tournaments going thru to completion but all had an opportunity to get out at least once and enjoy the clear autumn air and the freedom from the routine of the classroom while indulging in a few rounds of barnyard golf. Had an Alumnus happened in at Commencement Hall on the evening of December I I th or 12th between seven and ten o ' clock he would have been treated to a sight most pleasant to behold. Gathered here in the old gymnasium were more students than this room has ever before accommodated at one time. The occasion for this demonstration was the running of the first inter-fraternity wrestling tournament in the school ' s history. This was to be followed later by an All-Campus Wrestling Tournament which will be held shortly after the Christmas holidays are over. With the basement of Commencement Hall jammed to the rafters with over 500 spec- tators and contestants the tournament got under way at 7 p. m. on Tuesday, Decembe. ' Ilth. One hundred forty-nine men had weighed in ihe previous afternoon. Matches were conducted in all eight weights under National Intercollegiate rules. Steve Harrick, Varsity wrestling coach, assisted by members of the Varsity wrestling squad refereed the boats in commendable fashion. It was necessary to have two mats going at all times. All bouts were of five minutes duration unless terminated by a fall. During the first even- ing there were in all 104 bouts carried thru, fifty-two of them resulting in falls, thirty-five in time decisions while only seventeen bouts weie defaulted. In most cases these defaults were occasioned by the fact that one or the other of the competitors could not compete because of an attack of the flu which had just begun to make its appearance on the Campus. unh g at 7 F spiritedly sset to C On the first evening the 175 lb. class and the the semi-finals.

Something wa going on every evening betwe-n the hours of 7 .-ind 10 on Mnndavs thru to Thursday, excepting on evenings when some Varsity Basketball contest was being staged. There were 25 fraternity basketball teams, 10 class teams and 6 non-fraternity teams. Each of these teams played every other team in its league and then the league winnrri met in a series to decide the championship. Kappa Sigma won the fraternity basketball title by virtue of its victory over Kappa Mu in the final game. The Sophomores were returned the winners in the class leagues and the Scoreless Wandertrs won the non- fraternity championship. Two track meets were conducted in the Field House, one an all-fraternity affair and the other an all-campus event. Phi Sigma Kappa won the fraternity title, while each man to score 5 or more points in the all-campus meet was given a handsome gold medal. s conducted on one of the local commer- 3nd in another year it is planned to con- n.

As a wind-up to the winter program of intramural sports there was held in the Field House on Saturday evening, March 16th the first annual athletic carnival in the history of Intramural Sports at West Virginia. The final game for the fraternity basketball title was played as well as the final bouts for the University Boxing Championships in si-x weights. A couple of novelty events kept the crowd in good humor. The Varsity sport captains staged a Kiddie Kar race and the spectators were treated to f. rare sight when Little Sleepy Glenn. Les Montgomery. Jimmie Cox. and Truehart Taylor mounted their trusty Kars to break all records for speed. Two picked male quartets of runners represented Chi Omega and Kappa Kappa Gamma and competed against each other for inter-sorority relay championship. These two teams reached the finals by virtue of hav- ing made the best times in the trials held during the week preceding the carnival.

Distinguished scholarship is not con- sidered the sole criterion although it is the primary requisite for admission.

Four Thoughts The MONTICOLA has never been In the hab.t of apoligi ing for anything and no where in its entire history can evidence of an apologetic attitude be found. But this year, we must tearfully admit, our MUDDYCOLA SECTION la a terrible failure,— a de- plorable printer ' s error, a catastrophe. So it is with the deepest concern that we offer our most sincere apologies to the school, the faculty, and the unfortunates harbored within the walls of this institution. (First thought: by J. M. Moore, Business Managei.) The Jokes are ill-timed, ill-considered, ill-natured, and ill-bred. (Second thought by Art Smith, Trackless Coach) and the profanity is unbearable! (Same). 1 disclaim all responsibility for this non-literary appendage to what otherwise might have been a worth-while book. It seems to me that it is offspring of moronic minds that somehow found a place on the staff. So I advise you to skip over the humor and read only the ads that made this book possible. And I assure you that the culprits responsible for this mental relapse will be apprehended and punished by the joint action of the busi- ness manager and the Freshman Class. (Third thought by PRESIDENT TURNER.) In happiest lives some gloom must fall, and we beg tolerance. Human frailty will always be with us, and as Napoleon said to Caesar on the Eve of aWterloo: The proof of the pudding is in the eating! ' (And he would have said more if Cleopatra had not interrupted.) (Fourth thought not claimed by anone, ANONYMOUS.)

For brief though their sojourn was, they disported themselves gallantly and lit Murads, while a around them their be ' oved fellow students succumbed to pneu- monia from prolonged exposure to drafty lectures, or went color- blind by watching yellow paper. The s:n of their departure rests upon the malevolent souls hired by the state to prevent their pasrage through this great institution of yearning (to get out ). The more so let us pray for they suffered heartaches, sor- rows, and laborious application to nonenttiies. (and no more shall their smiling faces grace the portals of our ins titution), and though deprived of a degree by a wretched unreasonable faculty, they are waiting beyond the hills to join hands with us and share our happiness in escaping lurking danglers of college life.

My mother had not warned me of the lurking evils in football, so one day, while witnessing a Harvard-Yale match a devilish maiden captivated me. and soon I was a victim of her cleopatric wiles. The sight of her black raven hair waving in the breeze, her oriental t-yes. and her piquant smile aggra aied my infatuation and made me her slave. But she would not have me. for she liked only football heroes. So secretly, without breathing a word to a soul. I studied football in the attic every evening until the wee small hours of the morning. Needless to say I made good in football, and at the moment of my triumph 1 looked into the bleachers, and what did I see. Oh merciful Socrates? She was in the arms of another! 1 could not wait. 1 made the touchdown, and running up the bleachers I seized my stillelto and shot the wretch, shot him dead. 1 filed, and tired, and fired until the gun was empty. Then 1 said to her: Oh diabolical woman, you have crushed my flowery hopes. I escaped to Chinatown, and for days lived on nothing but rice. Under the kind care of a Chinese cook, I gained a little weight and grew a moustache. Thus I esciped the sleuths. Then I settled down with my old feeble grandmother in a cozy cottage, and assumed the innocent pastimes of knitting and chewing tobacco. My advice to Freshmen, who aspire to be football heroes, is: If you are unprepared for the problems of life by an inadequate knowledge of the secrets of life, don ' t come out for football until you have a course in zoology. r VV.ONTICOLA5 COMUNTZIS .- ; -WHERE YOU GET THE BEST OF EVERYTHING- THE STUDENT HEADQUARTERS FOR GOOD FOOD !

(Copyrighted, 1931) When I reached the age of 30, I was a burly, frisky boy, innocent of the real secrets of life. My ambition was to be a piano mover but alas in spite of nrxy buoyant spirits the task proved too much for me. My Aunt insisted that 1 go to college. 1 ran away and for a decade became very successful posing for Arrow Collar Ads. My family desicovered me, and 1 had to return home. I went to college but could not get along with the deans. After flunking out of each college successively, I entered the engineering school where 1 found an c miable dean. My graduation was a solemn occasion. By a clerical error, I was given a Ph. D. instead of a B. S. C. E. but 1 did not say anything. I then enlisted in the state militia, and after a drunken brawl with the general 1 resigned. 1 then had to be content with a professorial job. When coeds were admitted to the institution. 1 fell a victim to their wiles and was expelled from the college faculty. Mow I regret this incident, my mother had never told me. Soon I was hopelessly enme hed in marital difficulties, for they all wanted to mairy me. An attempt to espouse the Mor- mon religion was frustrated by Abraham Lincoln, no 1 eloped to Siberia with my beloved. We raised chickens together in a pastoral cottage on the glaciers of Muskomoomo. My happiness was cut short by a telegram from W. V. U. asking me to accept the de nship of the A. B. school. So I left my sweetie in Siberia for the call of duty. She promised to wait, and 1 know that even now she is thinking of me in the little Eskimo teepees. 1 am going back some day. And as my parting advice to Freshmen, let me say that diligence coupled with assiduous application to industry is essential to success.

Darn tjood book you ' re publishing there. Couldn ' t do better myself. I like the pictures of your campus, but would suggest a few improvements. The uncultured aspect can be remedied by placing a little statuary here and there. A Jtatue of Eunpedes chasing the doe would go nice in front of Woodburn Hall, and Aphrodite playing checkers with Mercury would be a knock-out for the front of the Field-house. And you seem to be lacking in organizations on your campus. I would suggest more societies, clubs, etc. I went to college, too. I never knew it until I sobered up and found a diploma in my hand. Confronted with the alternative of choosing between Phi Beta kappa and Fi Bater Capper, 1 chose the latter, because it was an older institution, founded by Socrates they say. That ' s being pretty old, even older than the liquor they drink. Yes, siree, I ' m a college man, but 1 only boast about it to college students. My polit- ical career would be ruined if the politicians found out about it. That ' s why I use good grammar in my write-ups, to make them think I never went to college. We had beauty contests, too. You people ought be ashamed to call those things you hold, beauty contests. That photoprapher ought to be shot, or better still, sent to Con- gress to take hazy, esthetic portraits of our Senators, and send them to Hollywood Casting Bureaus. At any rate, his activities are a crime and high misdemeanor under the Act for the Punishment of False, and Misleading Misrepresentations, of 1908. I am sorry to see you don ' t have the honor system there. The school where I went had it for 50 years, then some darned sneak went and squealed and ruined everything. I like the pictures of your R. O. T. C. corps. They look like half-starved Armenians suffering under the yoke of the terrible Turks. I presume the service is compulsory in your school. To see the faces of those cadets stand ing in ranks is to see what the fac of Nebuzube looked like after 98 years imprisonment.

KARR, World Famous Mystic, answers student queriea through the Monticola: (The Monticola is glad to be ot service to the students, and can only regret that a few letters had to be omitted because of lack of space.) OOGIE MEISEL: Yes, the girl you wish to marry has a wooden leg. That explains the squeaking; you thought you heard when she sat down. However, a good lubricating oil will remedy the condition and I see no reason why she should not make a good wife. No, you are not fat! JAMES MORTON CALLAHAN: Lumbago can be due to various causes. Correct your diet and cut down on whiskey, Lucky Strikes, and wild parties. If ailment persists see a reliable osteopath. Dr. Karr. GEORGE JACKSON: A. B. after a name can stand for many things. It may mean A BOOB, or ANOTHER BUM, or AGRONOMICAL BIBLIOGRAPHER. More often, however, it means ALSO BROKE. Does that answer your question? Dr. Karr. JAMES COX: For your sprained ankle I would advise Sloana ' s Liniment taken INTERNALLY, or Boswell ' s Bruise Balm also EXTERNALLY. No, 1 don ' t think you would succeed in the movies I Dr. Karr. MARY JO MATTHEWS: Yes, you do resemble Clara Bow, but I think you have a stronger resemblance to Colleen Moore. A pea-green wire haired terrier would match your complexion fine. You left your wrist watch on the third table on the left in Comuntzis, Friday, May 15, 3:00 A. M. Dr. Karr. SCOTT LOWE: Yes I think it is advisable to marry young. The person who told you that necking is detrimental to the health was apparently deceiving you. .Auihorities have found no evil consequences unless complications set in. Your indigestion was due to mixing lister- ine with Jumbo Peanuts. Dr. Karr. HARRISON CONAWAY: You are president of the student body. FOR TRYING TO DECEIVE ME. by telling me you were a shoe polish salesman, I refuse to answer your question. Dr. Karr. SLEEPY GLENN : Your question is of a personal nature. I advise you to send a stamped self-addressed envelope and repeat your question. Dr. Karr. DEAN STONE: You are not fat, it is called pleasingly plump. Yes, you are a Hollywood type, and would succeed admirably in western movies playing two gun parts. I do not advise you to part your hair in the middle. Clara Bow prefers it on the left side. Dr. Karr. FRANK BUTLER TROTTER: Ah. ha. you rascal. 1 know you are no longer president. Eskimo pies .ire not harmful unless eaten in excess. Yes, Wrigley ' s chewing gum is safe. Dr. Karr. HARRY ADAMS STANSBURY: Your financial worries will be settled in a few years, and a big donation is forth- coming from a tall dark man. No. the stadium is not too large, but the quality of cement is poor. You arc popular with the students, and don ' t let your enemies worry you. You will outlive them. Dr. Karr. -AXONTICOLA., HIGHWAY TAX COSTS By JOHN E. WALKER Former Special Assistant on Taxation to the Secretary of the Treasury KEY FACTS Railroads pay less than 2 ' 2 per cent of total highway income. Six-tenths of rail taxes for highways are for local feeder roads. Special motor vehicle taxes are more than equivalent to all highway mainte- nance costs, state and local. Special motor vehicle taxes pay for 35 per cent of the entire highway bill of $1,500,000,000. Less than twelve cents out of each state and local general tax dollar goes to highways. Motor trucks pay twice as much in special taxes per vehicle as private auto- mobiles. Common carrier buses pay twenty-four times as much in special taxes as the private automobile. State authorities expend 47 per cent of the total highway funds, counties ex- pend 53 per cent. Maintenance expenditures are increasing in proportion to construction costs due to growing mileage of improved roads. West Virginia Motor Transportation Ass ' n. HEADQUARTERS. CHARLESTON.

Although there is some evidence that Shakespeare had a similar sympathy when he wrote King Lear, putting in the mouth of the Swiss Guards the famous words: Anon, vassals, back to the kitchen for the navy is a place for knaves, and the armv IS a living HADE . However, the idea can be traced to t he Sanskrit legends, which have not yet been translated into English. Dr. Karr. MAX DE BERRY: Yes, you are a great actor. But the girl who said your profiU- was a John Barrymore must have been mistaken, or teasing you. or what is worse, outwardly deceivmg you. I advise you to specialize in post anti-Mid-Victorian Drama.

From now on acrobatic and esthetic toe dancing is forbidden at fraternity formals according to Dean Stone. Unless some one claims the empty ink bottle found in Commercement Hall, it will be filled and donated to the Freshman Class. TESTIMONIALS: Cunningham: I find complete solace and comfort in reading Greek philosophy on bills of fare. Kay: Public speaking teaches one how to speak in public.
