So ye go forth to show what deeds of gold Pulse in }-our heart rmd struggle to a birth. The wav of life is hard, but ye are men ; Remember when the tide of hope runs low, Remen.iber we are praying for }t)u then ; Whenever storms assail, or tempests blow. Seek in your hearts and ye will (ind the grail. It is the truth, and service for the right. First there your eyes, and nothing will avail To turn you from the goal ye ha ' e in sight. The time is short, so come, and say good-bye. Keep ye the faith and all things will be well. Now look ; the fields of service round you lie. Farewell. Each has his task to do. Farewell. W. F.

Young in years but in saf e cauiisci old Wiggs unquestionably is one of the big men of his class. He is an outstanding man in literary work and quite an orator in his literary society. He is a hard worker and can always be depended upon to put a thing across once he starts on it. Despite the fact that he is always engaged in some activity outside the class room, he has never failed to be one of the best students of his class. Our Wildcat Eleven, due to the hard work and wonderful ability of Manager Bradford, has probably played the best schedule of games this season that a team has had in years. With the start that Wiggs has already acquired in life we feel sure that he will be a great credit to his Alma Mater. -s no mf!MM0i- 24n §-■ Roland Earle Blue Peter Raeford, N. C. B.S. An honest man he li ' iis Peter ' s name belies his character, for if there ever was a man who never showed any blue disposition, it ' s he. He has, in his four years here, made himself known by his smile and his refusal to loaf. With a go-get- ' em streak in him, he never fails to finish any- thing he starts, and there ' s no doubt but that his ambitions in the days to come will be obtained by the same business-like methods that he has used in college.

Behold a lad with perfect control over the old horsehide and the elusive feminine heart ! It ' s no long story to explain Bush ' s win- ning ways — simply a heart of gold and an ability to do things. Three years of Varsity laseball, ending with a captaincy in his Senior year, have marked him as one of the best southpaws Davidson has seen in many years. There ' s nothing flashy or spectacular about this Wildcat, but he does love to turn back such outfits as Trinity ' s Wonder Boys. Earl is one of those few who combine hard study with athletics and make a success of both. Hard luck will have no efifect on him when he bucks against the world. -■-3 ri9 zTl •■ Charles Victor Brown, Jr. Vic Chattanooga, Tenn. B.S.

He has the ability to put across things, and that goes a long way. Edward Dougla.s Brown Ed China Grove, N. C. A.B.

In every course pertaining to it he has become extraor- dinarily proficient and with this equipment, we predict a successful career for him in the world of affairs. Ed has won the warm friendship of all his classmates during his sojourn at Davidson by his quiet and im- assuming manner, and will leave a place that will be hard to fill.

When a man starts out in preparation for medicine he has the pleasant prospect of four years of the hardest work that Davidson can offer. Shorty has mastered this four years and come through with his flag flying, and we expect to see it flying high for many years to come. Ray de la Montanya Cark Speedy SrARTANBURG, S. C.

He has been one of the distinctive members of ' 2-4 — this youth. There is no other man at Davidson who can boast of the de la attached to his title, and there is on other man on the campus w ' ho can lis- ten to the Victrola by the year and not tire of it. We will all miss Speedy. He is a light that shines in a corner, but is always moving so that it reaches every man. In our loss his chosen profession gains a man who travels fast and travels far to success. Donald James Chipman Chip Winston-Salem, N. C. B.S.

Thou, Julia, thou hast metamorphosed me: Made me neglect my studies, lose my time He may be just a chip, but that chip combines those qualities that make him one of the best liked men on Davidson ' s campus. Chip has a perpetual smile that makes everyone forget their grouch when he comes around, and his ready wit keeps them in throes of laughter. Although the class room interests him but little, this Annual is evi- dence of what he can do if he wishes. You ' ll find a mighty soft spot in this boy ' s heart for the ladies, even if he does have to be a man of iron to protect himself from the snares of many of them.

From the first day on the Hill he has been hard at work in an effort, not only to accomplish his own purpose, but to make Davidson a bet- ter place in which to live. Few phases of college activity have escaped him, and in each of them he has shown his ability to excel. Whether in literary, scientific or ath- letic lines, or in business enterprise, you will find him on top and making good. •-8 f LO 24. ? ■ Arthur Dean Cromartie Cap ' n VlDAHA, Ga. B.S.

He hails from Florence, Ala., and might be a good ma:i to work out the Muscles Shoals project after Henry Ford and others have given it up as hopeless.

His outstanding ones are his happy-go-lucky nature and his everlasting love for the goddess of dance. Rube as a member of the Class of ' 24 is the senior member of the firm, Curdts, China Keels, Buster Gray Co. We wonder what the campus will do minus this fun-making com- bination next year. If Rube keeps on, he will soon roll his eyes into some South Caro- lina lassie ' s heart, and that ' s the last we e.xpect to hear of him. We ' ll chance the hope, however, that he misses this entangle- ment. Hugh McLaurin Currie Hugh Winter Haven, Fla. A.B.

He who has bucked up against this Wildcat is always quite sure that he has struck a snag. Nappy ' s work on the gridiron has been nothing short of spectacular and his ability on the basketball court led to his election as captain of the 1924 team. If he goes at life with the same vim and vitality that he has shown here, our good wishes are not necessary, but they go with him just the same. James Wirt DeArmon Doc Charlotte. N. C. B.S.

He has made himself a popular man on the campus by his quiet and gentlemanly manner. While he doesn ' t overdo in the class room, he more than makes up for it on the grid- iron. As a great defensive halfback he will long be remembered through his stellar work on Wildcat elevens. If he succeeds in tack- ling life as well as he has done in college, a bright future awaits him. --3 [19 lin g-- Edward Clinton Douglas Doug Mt. Ulla, N. C. A.B. II Fear to do base tiiricorthy things is I ' olor ' W Doug doesn ' t merely amble around when he starts to do a thing. He is full of perse- verance and stickabihty, and those two traits usually get results. He never shirks his duty in any kind of work, for shirking was left out of his makeup altogether. He has hosts of friends here on the campus, and no one will find a truer friend than this. With all the makings of a man in him, we bid him farewell as a true Davidson man.

Some say his de- termined will accounts for this fact, while others ascribe it to his winning personality. Dupe has the combined talents of a musi- cian and a good student — these, together with his socialistic nature, make him one of the most popular members of ' 24. He is every- body ' s friend and always a staunch supporter of his class. Dupe will be missed when he leaves Davidson, because the niche he has occupied while here will be hard to refill. 24n g-- LiSTD.X DlCKSliX Kl.KINS Senator Wavcross. Ga. A.B.

Biddy, or Country, as he is known to his intimates on the campus, hides every night in his room down at the gymn and is gen- erally seen (outside of football season) tra- versing the paths that lead in that direction. Mason has gained no little distinction among us during his sojourn here. As Freshmen, the present Senior Class was inspired with such confidence by his calm and unruffled demeanor that it made him its first presi- dent. Then, too, for the past two years Country has been one of the mainstays in the line, and from the small yardage made over center this year it would seem that he played his part well.

He is of the kind that make you think more and more the longer you know them. When he strikes his stride in life we expect to hear big things from him, because real Davidson men, who have Davidson ideals at heart as Jim has, never fail to become leaders. The world will recognize, in him, those qualities that make a leader. David Shanks Phlegar, Jr. Dave Christiansburc, Va. B.S.

This fcUozi ' ficks up zcit, as l i(irons f ' as Dave pursues the even tenor of his way when others are excited and flustered — even in the awe-inspiring presence of the fairer sex. Dave is a ladies ' man, and a man that men like too. That makes a rare combina- tion, and there is only one Dave Phlegar. He is liked by everyone and could well say that he envies no one whomsoever, for he has. in a character and personality that make him a leader, the really big things of life. The confidence of his associates in him, coupled with his ability, will put him in a place that few men can fill. Paul Bufokd Price Pablo Salem, Va. B.S. I Delta Theta Chi ; Lc Ccrcle Francais ; Virginia Club ; Class Football. To get thy cuds, lay baslifiiliuss aside After knowing this young man for a while you never fail to speak to him whenever you have a chance, because you like to call him a friend. He ' s steady, dependable, and ready to give you his last red cent if you need it. His good-heartedness may diminish his capi- tal when he starts out in life, but some day we ' ll see him throwing money to the winds. Paul has the best that Davidson can give him and will certainly use it to the best ad- vantage. Reginald Lyne Price Reg Charloite, N. C. A.B.

Likeable in every respect, he has the stuff in him that makes a man ' s road easier to travel when he hits the world for himself. Simple diligence combined with ability promise to make this lad one of the few at the top when the end comes, and Da- vidson will be proud to point him out as one of her sons.

We have been most fortunate in securing the sons of other institutions and in Sky Jack we have another such precious acquisition. This six foot three lad hails from Tennessee; not from the moun- tains, but from the plain country. He is the daddy of the Freshman class; at the head of the Court of Control he rules the Fresh well, and thanks to him, we have not only a well trained bunch of Freshmen, but a loyal class, having practically the same enrollment at the end of the year that originally registered. Sky has a weakness for skirts, and ever so often we see some damsel, either local or foreign, hanging on his arm and looking languishingly into his deep bespectacled eyes. But for all his con- quests he is a splendid fellow and one whom his classmates expect to do justice to the old college ' s reputation and to better conditions here in the South. - 19 24n • Adrain Moore Sample Fort Pierce, Fla.

Florida, in 1920, taking his Freshman work there. His friends, and Da- vidson, drew him to our midst and he has proven a decided asset to the Class of ' 24. We have found in him qualities of true man- hood, honesty, sincerity and diligence. He is a lover of his books. He has made them his boon companions and the Chemistry Lab a place to spend his leisure hours. Just give him time and see his name in Who ' s Who in America, when it comes to Chemistry. Frank Sampson Shaw Pint QuiNCY, Fla. B.S. Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Bosom up my counsel — you ' ll find it wholesome Pint. That ' s a word of mighty small dimensions, and it doesn ' t express this lad ' s capacity in any respect — in liquids, in work, or in fun. Pint is, at heart, a ladies ' man, and he cannot get away from the idea, for the girls simply won ' t let him. He ' s of the kind that never have to bull with the profes- sors to get the grades, for he rates them on his own merits and work.

Ease ims his chief disease This is John, the pride of Greensboro, noted far and near. He kept a calendar in which he recorded the dates of his proposals, but it got to be too much like work, so he cut it out. He is a skillful mechanician and knows all about cranks, flywheels, radios, and Fords, especially the parts that relate to patented window closers. As a musician, John needs no introduction to Davidson men — just go to the movies and listen to the yell Music. That means they want John and the rest known as Simpson ' s Symphony Six.

One tliiiHi is forn ' cr good — that one tliiiui is success In the days when the men of ' 24 were wild and bloody Sophomores, a Freshman might have considered this man among the blood- iest. As time has passed, we find in him qualities that make men. He ' s a quiet, hard- working student, and he has the vim and the push to make things go.

II Sf ' ccch is great, but silence is greater Here ' s a man that is hard to find around the campus. He seldom strays from the paths of duty, and then only to do some extra work. John is the kind of man who has to be forced to take vacations, then goes back to work in the shortest possible time.

He has a ready answer for any question that may be asked. His straightfor- ward manner and his keenness of intellect have won the admiration of his fellows. Paul has shown a vital interest in the Literary Societies throughout his college career. The record he has made shows few equals in debate and oratory. Always full of pep and fight for his college and his class, he has come into the light to show his physical prowess.

Duke Walthall is from the Shenandoah. In fact, it was the Shenandoah oration that first brought D. Barclay forth as a speaker. Since then he has won several Reps, a medal or two, and be- come President of the Pandeinic Literary Society. But Duke didn ' t stop there. His scholarship won him a Phi Beta Kappa key and a couple of assist- antships, while his steady-going Christian manhood brought him to the head of the Ministerial Band and made him an active leader in the religious life of the campus. Still another phase of this many- sided lad from Virginia is his literary work that brought him Sigma Upsilon and a berth on the Magazine Staff.

Junior Class History VRR since the Fall of 1921, when 204 Freshmen entered the halls of Davidson, the Class of 1925 has presented a unique record. In every type of college activity, and in that sl irit which is Davidson ' s, the Junior class has laid at the feet of her Alma Mater a worthy contribution. The real history of the Class of ' 25 cannot be written with words. For it is the record .if the lives and characters of the men of the class. What these men have each given to Davidson ' s spirit. Davidson ' s traditions. Davidson ' s honor, is the class ' real history. Through the activities of college life the evidence of this contribution is shown. The gridiron season of 1923 has seen five Juniors in action as regulars and many among the reserves. The opening of basketball season finds four Junior letter men back on the job. Base- ball and track are as yet forecasts at the time of writing, but from past indications, the prospects are good for a strong group of Juniors on both teams. The class is represented on the wrest- ling team, and the teiniis team is composed of four Juniors. In inter-class competition, the Class of ' 25 has won one out of two baseball series, one out of two football series, and one out of three basketball series. The class basketball team of the Sophomore year is notable for having won all six games of the inter-class series, having defeated Concord Y, and having given Charlotte Y two close games. Though not so spectacular as the athletic, the literary activities of the college have been supported by a large group of hard-working men of ' 25. In intercollegiate debating, literary society work, the Dcmndsoman, the Magazine, and Quips and Cranks, the class has been ably represented. Socially, the Sophomore banquet proved to be an unparalleled success, and at the time of writing, prospects are bright for a most enjoyable Junior Speaking. Scholastically, up to the time of writing, the Junior Class averages the highest of any in college for the year. Five members have found coveted berths on the honor roll for one or more years, and one member leads the college for scholastic average. The Y. M. C. A. has had hearty support from members of the Junior Class. The Bible Classes, Prayer Groups, Ministerial Band, Volunteer Band, and every other religious activity on the campus finds a strong quota of Juniors working with whole-hearted support. In issues coming up for decision, such as class resolutions, the establishment of the Court of Control, and the founding of the Honor Store, the class has been united in acting according to what each member thought best for the interests of the college. Officers for the first three years have been both worthy and capable, the presidents beinjr J. P. Hendrix, M. S. Beall, and C. M. S. Mcllwaine. Yet, a large part of the history of ' 25 is still unwritten. Next year will find that class in leadership. What, building upon her own record of successes and mistakes, and upon the records of classes that have gone before, she may yet contribute to the Christian spirit and traditions of old Davidson is a chapter yet untold. And then, when college doors and college days are left behind, and each man makes his mark beyond, will be written that great chapter of Life, yet unachieved but bidding fair to be a history worthy of old Davidson, and of the Class of ' 25.

REGEN Secretarj- and Treasurer W. E. MILTON Historian C. F. SMITH Poet Motto: Facimus scalas quibus ascendimiis Colors: Royal Purple and Gold Flower: Pansy - History of Class of 1926 URNING back tliu pages of history in retrospection we tint! that it was 220 of tlie assorted variety that entered Davidson as the Class uf 1926. During tlie iirst lap of the overland journey of many upgrades four members of the class distin- guished themselves to the extent that they are wearers of the D, one in basket- ball, Laird ; one in wrestling, l.indamood ; and two in baseball, Sion Alf ord and Frank Alford. Hazing disappeared entirely during the course of the year. Four of the numlicr made the Reporters ' Club, while one member was a good runner-up in the inter- collegiate debating preliminaries. While no recognition is made of golf players, in that they are not given a D, two of the class occupied berths on the team that represented Davidson. In a condensed form the above represents the accomplishments of the Class of ' 26 during its first year, and constituted a foundation for greater things, as has been evidenced already this year. Of the 220 who first set out, 162 returned to continue their work. Athletically speaking, we have inade a name for ourselves, since six of the nineteen Ds awarded in football went to Sophomores. Those inaking them were : Baker, Black, Wells, Vance. Laird, Lindamood. Many others were also out for every practice and lent their time and efi orts to the Varsity. Laird, who last year merited a D in basketball, will add a star below it this year. The outcome of the other sports will not be known until some time after this has gone to press, and a page or two of our history will be turned back to include these accomplishments. The class has been greatly distinguished this year by the oratorical attainments of its mem- bers. When Washington and Lee was debated, the team was composed of Sophomores, Stith and HoUingsworth, who successfully contended for Davidson. Stith joined the class this year. To the four members of the Reporters ' Club have been added eight more, for a total of twelve. Besides these, many have worked hard for the Davidsonian and recognition of several has been made through the annals of the Davidson College Magazine. Five made the Glee Club by virtue of their musical talent. Another distinguishing mark is the fact that the Sophomores have not indulged in hazing. It can be said, with reservations, that this is the first class that is not worthy of the title, Bloody Sophs, since we have not been permitted to wield the paddle as the Sophs gone before. The officers of the class have been : First year, N. E. Sappenfield, President ; J. A. McMil- lan, Jr., Vice-President; C. E. Houston, Jr., Secretary-Treasurer; C. F. Smith, Poet; and W. E. Milton. Historian. Second year, T. S. Baker, President ; C. F. Monk, Vice-President ; E. K. Regen, Secretary-Treasurer ; C. F. Smith, Poet ; W. E. Milton, Historian. The history of the class began, and was written ; the history of the class is being made, and is being written; the history of the class for the two remaining years is yet to be made, and yet to be written ; but the greatest history may never be written — that which is made by the indi- vidual members after graduation. Embodied in the present members are men who are going to make that history, and when the last line of the college chronicle is written, it remains with the individual members of the class of 1926 to continue the record made and perpetuate the principles set before us — and the members of this class arc the type to do this. ■ ) IQ A Call to Service The days of youth pass all too quickly, golden days Of memory remain for future years when Sombre skies no more their sunshine hold. Sweet Dreams of childhood fail to vision sorrows that Must come into each heart and soul that l)reathes the Air of God ' s pure sky. The triumph and the prize Await the seeker after truth and right ; new tasks Await the hands of those who fear no labor, toil. Nor cease until the work is done. A laurel wreath Of honor crowns the one who wins when others ceased Because the way was hard, while he kept faith and Strove to prove himself a man. Be men ! The World cries loud for those who seek to serve their Fellow men, for souls who falter not when Weary and alone. Prove strong and to the end Endure. For honor come to them who give their all. With fleeting years our lo e will grow for all mankind, And filled with wondrous visions of a fairer land Will sink to sleep, while voices long since hushed bear Silent witness to our faithfulness and trust.

Or being hated, don ' t give way to hating. And yet don ' t look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream — and not make dreams your master; If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim ; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same ; If you can bear to hear the truth you ' ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools. Or watch the things you gave your life to. broken. And stoop and Ijuild ' em up with worn-out tools ; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss. And lose, and start again at your beginning And never breathe a word about your loss ; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone. And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the ' ill which says to them. Hold on ! If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with kings — nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you.

KEERANS Secretary and Treasurer W. S. WOODS Historian J. H. CALLIGAN Poet Motto: Anime et fide Colors: (ireen antl White Flower: Daisy Class History IX the morning of September 15th, at exactly 8:30, the benches of old Shearer groaned under an entirely new load. The 30,348 pounds of two hundred and twenty-five new seekers after higher knowledge and learning weighed down the beams of the old building to the limit. The Class of ' 27 was making itself felt for the first, and let us hope for the last time. In this, Davidson ' s greatest Freshman class, men of every type, temperament, and from the four winds, were gathered together to begin four of the most promising years in their lives. Practically every Southern State, China and Japan, and even old England, sent their sons to don tlie red and black cap. In this heterogeneous conglomeration Love was found to be very Short, while peti t (Poteat) was O, so Long. The Class of ' 21 from the very start had a rep to keep up. As the first class in the history of the college to begin its course without the warning admonition of the paddle, the eyes of the upper classmen were upon it as never before. Our duty to the College and to future Freshmen classes was impressed upon us from the very start. It is not up to the Class of ' 27 to say whether the Board of Control is a failure or otherwise, neither is it the duty of anyone to say that the class as a whole has not backed Regen and his Board. As a class we owe a great deal to these upper classmen, who have taken such an interest in us. In athletics w have a great deal to be proud of. Owing to the one-year rule, no member of the class was eligible for the Varsity football team. Our football team came out very creditably and a number of our classmates should make themselves places in Davidson football. In basketball Sapp and Hewlett played on both the Varsity and Freshman teams. A promising outlook is in view for baseball and track and before the year is out some ought to do great things along those lines. In literary and forensic lines the class has a great future. Whether we know it or not, there is a poet of no mean ability in our midst. The literary societies have brought out the hidden talents of many men along speaking lines. With the Freshman Intercollegiate Debate before us, we expect to see a great many more orators spring into prominence. Our class was led by the following officers: W. A. Christian, President; J. W. Keerans. Secretary and Treasurer; W. T. Covington. Vice-President. At a later date J. K. Calligan was elected Poet, pnd W. S. Woods, Historian. With three more years before us, our only hope is that we may be worthy of our Alma Mater and ever hold high the ideals for which she stands. Although we shall go into the varied channels of life after college, may every member of the Class of ' 27 always be known as a Davidson man, in the fullest sense of the word. W. S. WOODS, Historian. Stand to tlie Helm! Stand to the helm ! Stand to the hehn ! A cahn sky l)ends above us Flashes the gleam of the morning sun 0 er the track where the ripples run — And the wide sea waits l)cfore us ! Naught of the sky but beckons t n — Naught of the sea but calls us; Naught of the strength of the sweeping Hood r ut (juickens the fire of a common jjlood ] ' or any fate that befalls us. Think not that skies will be always blue- That tempests will never beset us. ' Tis storms and billows that quicken the strife. And out on the rolling Ocean of Life ' Tis shadows that fashion and tit us. Then trim ye your sails to meet any gale. Right onward the way streams before us. Forget now the relics of memories dim, Ad ance in the light and power of Him Whose banner is fluttering o ' er us. Only the true, only the brave, Only the purest stand with us. Comrades all for the cruise are we Over the strange, new, silent sea — The sea that stretches before us. Stand to the helm ! Stand to the helm ! A calm sky bends above us ! Flashes the gleam of the morning sun Over the track where the ripples run — And the wide sea waits before us! J. H. Caligan. ;i!;-v, i. ...; [ •1 ' jM WK ' . i % i 4 ' ' 4 nm % i_ . ■«.

M. Douglas, has included in its expansion two additional coaches besides a head coach, W. L. Monk Younger. Coach Monk, as director of all atheltics here, has, as his staff, Tex Tilson and C. W. Rawson. Monk himself will be remem- bered as one of the greatest of Davidson ' s athletes. He finished his college course at V. P. I. in fully as creditable a manner as he began it at Davidson. At Hampden-Sidney and V. P. I. he had successful careers in coaching, and came to Davidson well acquainted with conditions and thoroughly able to handle men. Tex Tilson first became acquainted with Davidson in the Davidson-V. P. I. game last year. His mountainous size in the line, his stellar work, and his position of captain made him a conspicuous figure. He began his career as a great player at V. P. I., and for five years he was the high light of that team, and was picked for All-Southern tackle for .three years. He came to Davidson with Coach Monk after he had completed his course at V. P. I. C. W. Rawson, coach of Freshman athletics, also has a record as a great athlete. A graduate of the University of Georgia, he was on the All-Southern Basketball team for four years, and on the All-Southern Baseball pick for two years. Captain G. H. Weems, attached to the R. O. T. C. department, has made Davidson ' s wrestling team. A man of high character and ability, the whole student body has admired him, and his experience as champion of his weight in wrestling at West Point has given Davidson ' s grapplers a thorough knowldge of the sport. RICHARDSON FIEI.D In the program for the development of Davidson and the improvement of her campus, made several years ago, plans for an atheltic field comparable to the best in the South were included. On account of the financial strain that has existed for several years past, there were no available funds for the purpose until last year, when Mr. L. Richardson, of Greensboro, President of the Alumni Association of the College, and always a staunch supporter of his Alma Mat er, gave the college $30,000 to be used in the construction of a modern athletic field. The field, named for the donor of the money used in its con- struction, is located on the site of the old field, but covers much more ground. The baseball diamond is in the same place as before. Directly southwest of it is the Varsity gridiron. To the east and north of this gridiron is the scrub field, which was com- pleted first and used for several Varsity games. A quarter mile track surrounds the whole field with the straightaway in front of the grandstand. The runs for the jumping and the pole vaulting events are just south of the grandstand, on the outside of the track. The grandstand is yet to be constructed, and will be built of concrete and steel. Through it will be the main entrance to the field. Gates to the north and south of it admit players and officials. 24r • Athletic Association Off ' cers E. S. FAISON President J. P.

Three games were won and seven lost, but the percentage does not always tell the tale. Under a new coach and ])laying the heaviest schedule in several years, the W ' ildcats were handi- capped at the outset. Coach Monk Younger, fcjrmer Wildcat star in 1915, returned to his Alma Mater to direct her athletic teams. . s his assistant, Tex Tilson, who had played under him at V. P. I., directed the work in the line. Here it is that the Wildcats ' real liandicap lay. With scant line materia! to select from, there was always some forward on the hospital list. .Xgainst Carolina the thin Red line averaged 153 pounds, nut _ despite this disparity in weight the Tarheels only nosed out a 14-3 victory. Every man on the team fought as David- c aiitaiii— iind SOU men always fight, and with defeat star- ing them in the face, still upheld the Wildcat reputation on the gridiron. Throughout the season Captain Faison, playing his fourth and last year on the right flank, led his men against odds such as few Davidson teams have ever faced. Elon, P. C, and Cita- del were beaten. For the second time in history the Old Gold and Black warriors from Wake Forest triumphed over their Red clad foe; V. P. I. nosed out a 7-0 victory on an intercepted pass ; the Wolf pack from Raleigh routed the Wildcats on Wearn Field; Furman and Clemson lowered the Red and lilack l)anner on South Carolina fields ; Carolina nosed out the Wildcats 14-3 in a contest of brilliant runs and diving tackles ; and in the season ' s final encounter the Trinity Blue Devils made it two straight over their Presbyterian foe. Such is the record of Coach Younger ' s men. Often defeated, Intt never beaten, the Wildcats played through their twenty-seventh season on the gridiron. The Richardson Athletic Field is the bright spot in l ' )i3 football history. The field was christened with a 7-0 victt)ry over Citadel, the only home game of the year. At the close of the season letters were given to eighteen players and Manager W. Z. Bradford. Captain ' Lias Faison, right end, D ; Gig Shepherd, halfback, D ; Captain- elect Nappy Davis, left end.

WILDCATS 19— ELON The Davidson W ildcats swung into action against tlie Elon Christians in the first game of the season, and came off with the large end of a 19-0 score. The game was played in Cornelius, as the new Richardson Field was a sheet of mud. For several hours before the game a horde of supporters filed before the eyes of the astonished country folk of the nearby burg, who vaguely wondered wh ether it was a lynching or an Easter egg hunt. The Red and Black encountered little consistent opposition, but Elon had the ad- vantage of weight, fought hard when the goal was in danger, and aided by the brevity of the quarters, was able to hold back Coach Monk ' s cohorts to three touchdowns. Hendrix, Black, Shepbenl and DeArmon was the combination the Wildcat mentor used to advance the l all. Shepherd, Hendri.x and DeArmon were old hands with Davidson, while Wick Black had the advantage of growing up in the ' ildcat citv ni Davidson. WILDCATS 3— P. C. OF S. C, In the bowl at Winthrop College, Rock Hill, the Wildcats and Bluestockings met one sunny September afternoon for their fourth liattle on the gridiron. The sun sank from view and the watch ticked oft ' the fleeting seconds of the contest. Less than three minutes of play remained. The relentless Wildcat march had slowly driven the Bluestockings back to their 10- yard line. Then Popsy Hunt, who had been sitting on the sidelines during the fray, was injected into the contest. Signals were called and Wick Black dropped to his knees on the 20-yard line. The ball was snapped back, poised in Black ' s hands for an instant, and then Popsy ' s toe sent the ball hurtling over the center of the crossbar. The Wildcats had won, 3-0. The rest of the game was a series of futile forward passes in an attempt to snatch victory from the Wildcats. The Wild- cats gained possession of the ball on downs as the whistle blew. Throughout the earh ' part of the game the honors were even. Neither side threatened seriously in the first half. Early in tin- third quarter the Wildcats rushed the i)all to the 13-yard line. The Palmetto lads held for downs on t!ie 5-vard line and the ball - Qa 24. ? §■■ went over. After punting, P. C. intercepted a Davidson pass and rushed the liall to the 14-yard Hne. Uindman ' s dropkick went wide by inches. The rest of the time neither side secured the advantage. WILDCATS 0— V. P. I. 7 With two victories to their credit, a determined s(|uad i)i men entrained for V. P. I. to show the Goliblers that it was more than breaks that had made the 7-7 tie the year lief ore. The result was heart-rending. Outweighed seventeen jxjunds to the man, the Wiklcats gave back more blows than they took, and fought the heavier V. P. I. eleven to the end. An intercepted pass by Moss in the second stanza spelled the only score of the day. In the last half the Wildcats battled hard for a tie, Init were stopped by a stone-wall de- fense on the 10-yard line. It was a hard 1,, , game to lose, but every Wildcat covered Uuai-d himself with glory. The Roanoke News re- marked that the Tarheels put up the best exhil)ition of defensive ball seen here in many years. and the Associated Press said that The Wildcats outplayed Tech both on the offensive and the defensive. It was a great game be- tween two fighting, scrapping teams. WILDCATS 7— CITADEL Worn bv the terrific battle with Y. P. I., the Red and Black had an off-da- - in the first game on the new Richardson Athletic Field. It was the first game with Citadel in four years, and with the Bulldogs fighting to upset the dope, and Coach Monk ' s squad working hard for a victory in the christening exhibition, the contest was bit- terly fought from the start. The first half was a no-decision bout, with frequent punts and a fumble or two for variety. In the first few minutes of the second half an interchange of punts gave the ball tc the Cats on the 34-yard line. Two plays through the line counted for nice gains, and a 10-vard jiass, Hendrix to Baker, resulted in a 16-yard advance. The ball was on the 6-yard line and the tension was terrible. Shciiherd hit center for one yard. Second down, five to go. ' ick Black drove like a battering ram for a couple of yards for the spread formation. Two to go. Wick hit the line again and the score was Davidson 6, Citadel 0. Shepherd kicked goal for the only other point of the afternoon. It was the high- water mark of the season. Three victories and a glorious defeat promised a great season. The Wildcats ' goal line had not been crossed from scrimmage. The team looked good, but bad breaks, injuries, and a hard schedule made the rest of the WILDCATS 0— WAKE FOREST 6 Coach (iarrit ' s I ' riiicetnn system si)elle l defeat for the Wilcat team on Weani Field in Charlotte. The 6-0 score sent state championship hopes glimmering and cast a cloud of gloom over the Hill. Greason, the speedy I ' aptist halfback, broke through the Wildcat line on a reverse tackle play and stiff-armed and dodged his way 48 yards for a touchdown. The winning score came the first quarter, and allowed the Wildcats plenty of time to fight back before the game was lost. It was useless. Wildcat fumbles and Wake Forest strategem combined to stop the Davidson drives, and throw the Red and Black on the defense. .A hercidean fight in the shadow of the goal posts was all that ke])t the Baptist score down to the single marker. Shep- ard and Black were as usual the chief ground gainers for the Red and Black. Rackley and Greason fea- tured for the sons of Wake. WILDCATS 0— FURMAN 30 ' ' jr m Furman ' s Purple Hurricane swept their way to a 30-point M jm triumph on the State Fair Grounds in Columbia. A small crowd W - Mt j f was present to witness the fray. It was a game of upsets, and ' ' gains favored the Baptists. The first half gave no hint of the carnage which was to follow in the final period of the play. The Wildcat line, weakened by the loss of Boggs, was further weakened when Sam Summers was forced out on account of a wrenched ankle. Doc DeArmon was out of the backfield, and Gig Shejiard was knocked silly in the first five minutes of play. He all but beat Furman single handed the previous year. Cole- man blocked Shepherd ' s punt in the opening period on the 16-yard line. Poteat and Waters made it first down in four plays. Then on the thrid play Carter made a touch- down. Score: Davidson 0, Furman 6. The score remained 6-0 the first half. The Wildcats released a drive which carried the ball to Fur- man ' s 20-yard line as the half ended. Early in the third quarter. Carter blocked Laird ' s punt and went for a touchdown. This seemed to take all the pep out of the Wildcats, and Furman battering rams tore through the line, time after time, piling up two more touchdowns and a field goal. Cajitain Faison played a stellar game for the Wildcats. WILDCATS 6— STATE 12 Two smaching drives by Holland, State ' s left half, placed the hall liehind the posts for the two touchdowns that gave State a wager of victory in the annual Wolfpack-Wildcat melee. The LINIIO.MOOD first pari of tlie game was all to the taste of the Farmers and iLiigineers. l)ut the crippled Wildcats fought back fiercely in the last quarter and turned a near rout into a bitterly contested battle. The Red and Black scored on a lieautiful pass to Cov- ington, who raced 20 yards for the lone Davidson score. Again tiie Wildcats came scrapping and smashing down the field. It ludked like a Davidson victory after all, and the gang was all up in the air. The last quarter was drawing to a close. Hendrix and l)lack f(jrced the ball to the 6-yard line. Black plunged through again, liut the ball went over on the one-foot line and the game was lost. A defeat by a foot was hard to bear, and it was a crippled, downhearted innich that lini] ed back to the cani[)us late Saturda}- night. WILDCATS 0— CLEMSON 12 Invading the Tiger ' s lair for the second ■ ' ANc E NovemI)er battle, the Wildcats were rejnilsed by the Palmetto felines, while the South Carolinians violated their line twice, Fum- Ijles were the direct cause of the Tiger victory. Clemson scored late in the initial period after a had ])ass had made a punt impossible, giving the Tigers the ball on David- son ' s 10-yard line. Late in the final period came the second touchdown, after Davidson misplays had given Clemson the ball within scoring distance. The bright sjx)t in Davidson ' s attack came in the opening quarter, when Hendrix slipped around end 27 yards only to fumljle the ball with a clear field ahead. Clem- son recovered the ball. The Tigers held the edge in ground gained and first downs, taking advantage of every Wildcat mis- play. Vance, in the line, played a stellar game for the Red and Black. On one occa sion he stopped a Tiger drive on the one- yard mark, the ball going over on downs. The Wildcat defense was working in brilliant fashion throughout the game. Captain Faison as usual played a wonderful game at end. W ells played a brilliant game at half. WILDCATS 3— CAROLINA 14 Sweeping the Tar Heels oiif their feet in the opening period, the Wildcats marched down Emerson Field and stopped in the shadow of the goal posts, changed their tactics. Popsy Hunt ' s toe was called on for the second time during the season, and for the second time he sent the ball hurtling over the uprights. No Wildcat team ever displaced better team work or more clocklike precision in running oiif plays. The Tar Heels seemed powerless to stop them until the goal line was almost reached. Once in the second, and once in the final period, the Tar Heels, not to be denied, Ijattered their way across the Wildcat goal hne. Bonner led the attack. The Wildcats had numerous chances to score, ])ut Fate seemed against them. The game ended with Davidson on Carolina ' s 7-yard line and three downs to go. Davidson gained 260 yards to Carolina ' s 230, made 12 first downs to Carolina ' s 14, outpunted Carolina, and carried the battle to Carolina territory during the major part of the game. Wells led the Wildcats in ground gaining v ith 77 vards. .Hendrix gained 52, Black 42, Buck Sappenfi eld 23, Hunt 18, Davis 10, Covington 6. Five Davidson regulars did not start the game. Summers, Laird, DeArmon, Fields and Shepherd were missing from the line-up. Tom Baker was also out of the game. On the opening kick-off, Hodgin had his left leg broken above the ankle. Despite the handicaps, the Red and Black Machine played the best game of the season. The interference on the end runs and off -tackle plays paved the way for the Wildcat gains. WILDCATS 6— TRINITY 18 has always been work. Going the whole route in a cold drizzle which dampened the spectator ' s ardor, the Wildcats went down before the Blue Devils, Thanksgiving. A blocked pnnt accounted for Trinity ' s first score. Trinity recovered the ball on the 2-yard line and smashed over for a touchdown. Another counter was added in the second period.

S- 24ri g-- Freshman Season 1923 The second Freshman football team in the history of Davidson, under the tutelage of C. V. Rawson. University of Georgia star in three sports, ended the 1923 season with three victories, one tie and two defeats, scoring 66 points against their opponents 47. liesides the scoreless tie with Furman, the ' earlings failed in only one game to put the oval over for a touchdown, while ending the season in great style with .H-O victory over Oak Ridge. In the first game of the season, Charlotte, high school champions of North Carolina, were defeated 6-0 in a thrilling I ' nmeback in the last minute of play. Furman sent her ( )ne-Year-( )Ids tn Richardson l- icld for the only collegiate game on the Hill, and though outplayed by the Davidson youngsters, they went hack with a scoreless tie. Outplayed on both ofifense and defense, the Presbyterian co.vcii KAWSDN College Freshmen team went down in defeat before the David- son Freshmen, the 18th of October, 12-0. The P. C. lads came back in the last half with great fight, but were held from scoring. Although outweighed over 15 pounds to the man, the Wildkittens put up the superior game with the N. C. State yearlings, at Pinehurst. on Xovemiier 1st. only to lose when the State Fresh fumbled 10 yards from Davidson ' s goal and fell on the ball when it rolled across the last white line. Two weeks later the Fresh journeyed down to Orangeliurg to be defeated 41-14 by the powerful University of South Carolina first-year squad. For the only game of the season Davidson was outplayed, but the Presbyterians threw a scare into the Palmetto camp when they scored two touchdowns in the last half. But for several costly breaks, the margin would have been much closer. Opening up from the first minute of play and clipping off gains of from 10 to 15 yards with apparent ease, the entire Freshman scjuad smothered the Oak Ridge bunch under a 34-0 score in the final game, at Statesville. The game demonstrated the form and power developed by Coach Rawson. The special football issue of The Davidsonian, speaking of the Freshman coach ' s work, says : The Fresh have made a record this vear, and it is due to the hard work that Rawson has put out. SE.

Coach Ituck Currie, with Dutch Hengeveld as an assist- ant, was confronted with the task of rounding into shape a Wildcat baseball nine.

These vet- good quartette, around which Coach Mar: sack was erans constituted ixinents. I ' .uck and Dutch Hengeveld were to build their team. When the last man had trotted across home plate, and the final compilation made, the result shows nine games won and six lost. A review of the record shows some close i ames played, while others were ragged. Perhaps the most e.xciting of the fifteen con- tests were the State-Davidson game and the nun Trinity-Davidson battle, both of which re- ' suited in a 1-0 victory for Davidson ' s op- In the disastrous column may be placed the games with Carolina and the University of Virginia. The first game of the contest mentioned above was played on S])runt Field. with Xeely Hunter and Harry Curtis opponents on the mound. It was a pitchers ' battle right. Boushee and Sanderson, star twirler of Trinity, engaged in a similar duel at Trinity, with the same result. The Wildcat nine had a new experience, that of playing a game with snow on the ground. This t(.)ok place on the Virginia trip, and whether the results of the visit can be laid to this fact is not known. It is known, however, that the Red and Black met defeat at the hands of the teams they met. The season opened at Easter on Sprunt Field, with a lirace of games with Oak Ridge. These prep lads have a rejiutation for a fast baseljall nine, and the same remains undisputed. The copped the first game of the season from the Wildcats, the score being 6-5. Bascomb Sorrells pitched for Davidson in this game. The following day the tables were reversed, though, and Coach Buck ' s cohorts won from Oak Ridge by a one-point margin, with Boushee on the motmd. . s it has been aptly expressed by one writer, it might be well to draw a curtain over the Carolina-Davidson scrap, which was played in Gastonia the Monday following Easter. The Chapel Hill sluggers amassed eight runs in the second BOU.SHEE Captain-elect -•-3 ) 19 ¥Gm 24. ? I ' jhL inning of the game, the final result being 12-5. Neely Hunter began the game, but he was not in form, and when Neely was not right, he was landed right and left for hits g that counted. Boushee relieved him in the second inning, and should the scoring after the disastrous second inning be taken into consideration Davidson might be credited with the game, 5-4. Boushee ' s holding down of the Tar Heels ' jlU i ' was remarkable, for only one day had elapsed since he had defeated Oak Ridge. Frank A ' lford lifted the ball over the fence for the first homer 1)y a Davidson man. Aside : from the second inning, this game would have been a good one. Returning to the Hill the Wildcats somewhat redeemed themselves by putting up a stifl: ' fight against N. C. State. Neely Hunter pitched one of the prettiest games of the sea- son, and in addition to this made one of the three hits that Davidson was able to touch Harry Curtis ffor. It was a pitchers ' liattle if there ever brice was one. .Xn error in the sixth, followed by a double, gave the lone tally of the game to the Techmen. Pat Crawford at the first corner played a great game. The entire , team gave air-tight, machine-like support, and but for the one error, the contest might have gone on for many innings. Having dropped three of the first four games to oppo- nents, the Red and Black machine took on a new spirit, and won the next five games. WofTord was the first prey, going down under a 4-1 defeat. Boushee and Murph were matched against each other. Murph was considered Woff- ord ' s ace, but the Wildcat sluggers proved too much. David- son scored in the first frame, was tied by Wofford in the fourth, but in the next few innings the former sent three more counters across the home platter. In the ninth, with three men on any only one out, it seemed as if Woliford was coming HUNTER back and wouldturn victory into defeat for the Wildcats, liut a fast doulile play, Boushee to Brice to Crawford, ended the game. Boushee only allowed ,«f • | ., five hits, and in addition made two for Davidson. Sion Alford M ffi made two safeties, one of them a three-bagger, and Dick Rich- -r ' ards had two safeties by his name. The day following was an ejioch-making event. Wofi: ' - w. ord sufl: ' ered an even greater defeat, 7-0. Neely Hunter r pitched, and pitch he did. Never was he in better form, either. When the scorer compiled his totals. Neely had turn- ed in a no-hit game, the only one pitched by a Wildcat dur- ing the season. Not content with his su])erior work on the mound, Neely sent one high out t)ver left field, and when those in the stands saw it disappear behind the fence, they went wild. It was the first home run that had been made on fli.t ft 24n •- Sprunt Field since 1911. In addition to this Neely further augmented his glory by laying down a sacrifice and slam- ming out a two-bagger. Richards and Covington both made t v(i hits, and S. Alford added another three-bagger to his list. Elon was the next victim, the game ending, 9-4. Mc- Laughlin started the game, but due to his unsteadiness, was relieved by Sorrells in the second inning. Bascomb showed his mettle, and permitted only one tally to trickle across in the seven innings he was twirling. Perhaps the greatest exhibition of hitting abilit}- was demonstrated in this game by Ted Covington, who made four hits in four trips to the plate. He slammed out a triple, a double and two singles, a total of seven bases. It is very rare that any player hits a thousand in a game, no matter who the pitchers may be. Coach Monk Younger brought his dia- mond outfit down to S])runt Field, and whether it was a surprise or not, the Virginia Techmen were turned away the loser by an 8-4 score. Following his experience with the Wildcat football squad he may have hoped for revenge on the diamond, but he went back defeated. The game was played during a cloudy afternoon, and was broken up in the eighth by rain. The South Carolina trip resulted in a split of honors, the ' ildcats winning the Clemson battle, 3-2, and dropjnng the Wofford fracas t o the Terriers, 10-4. In the game with the Tigers no Freshmen were allowed to play, which necessi- tated a few changes in the Wildcat lineup, but despite this they played a stellar game, resulting in a victory. Bascomb Sorrells let the Tigers down for only four hits, and nine of their batsmen whiffed the air. Pat Craw- ford had a homer chalked up to his credit, t sending one over the centerfield fence. All of the Davidson runs came in the early stages rich. ru of the game, the Clemson twirler, Davis, tightening and hold- ing the Wildcats scoreless after the fourth inning. This game saw two southpaw pitchers matched against each other. The WofTord game ended 10-4 in their favor. McLaugh- lin, a Freshman, was used in this game throughout, with Murjih as his opponent. While Davidson touched Murph ■ for as many runs at Wofford, as on Sprunt Field, the Ter- riers were at the same time mounting up their score. H I With five tnit of the last six games to their credit, the mea m ' 1 ' ' ' I Black machine set out for a trip through the Old H H North State. In the first game at Raleigh Neely Hunter H H reaped revenge for the 1-0 defeat at Davidson by winning from the Techmen, 9-6. The game was won with six runs COVINGTON in the seventh inning, when Allen was sent to the showers. The next day the Wildcats encountered Trhiity. The Methodists were rated as one of the best teams in the South, and it was expected that they would trample the Wildcats by a large score. The Davidson nine upset the dope, though, and were defeated by the small score of 1-0. It was a good game, and the fastest played of the sea son, only a few minutes over an hour being necessary for the contest. Sanderson let the Wildcats down without a hit, while Boushee allowed only six men to reach first. The strain of the State and Trinity matches told on the Wildcats, and Elon won a victory by a 2-1 margin in the last game of the trip. Davidson ' s only score was a home run bv S. Alford in the first inning. At the start it looked like a Davidson victory, but the final score told a diiiferent tale. After a day of practice on Sprunt Field the Davidson defenders took a leap into Virginia to meet the University, V. M. L, and V. P. I. The f first inning of the Virginia game was a repe- marrow tition of the second frame of the Carolina fracas. When the smoke cleared away the Virginians had pushed over eight runs, and Hunter was sent to the bench. Sorrells pitched the remainder of the game, but the Virginians had on their batting eyes and scored six more in the next seven innings. Five runs for the Red and Black in the eighth kept a bad defeat from being a rout. All teams have their day, but May 7th was not Davidson ' s. It was in the V. M. I. game that the Wildcats experienced their snowstorm baseball game. The day was cold, and the entire game was played while snow was steadily falling. Errors were frequent, and the Cadets won, 5-4. Boushee pitched for the Red and Black. The V. P. I. Gobblers were out for revenge fi)lluwing their defeat on Sprunt Field, and they were alile to turn in an 8-3 win over ALFORD, F. Neely Hunter. The weather was still dis- agreeable at the time of this contest.. The team returned from the disastrous Virginia trip, and on the following day met Guilford on Sprunt Field. Sorrells was in fine shape, and the Wildcats were thawed out and completelv renovated. The score was 8-0 in Davidson ' s favor. The final game of the season was played with Trinity, with Sanderson and Boushee again matched against each other. San- derson, who before had held the Wildcats hitless, was sent to the showers, and the game ended with a 4-3 victory for Davidson. Whether the season can be termed successful is left with the reader. Nine games won and six lost is the result. With the exception of two slumps, the Wildcats would have come out with almost all victory. But slumps are all in the game, and come in for the final reckoning. alford, a. -■-3 The 1923 BaseliaU Team G. B. SORRELLS Pitcher T. N. HUNTER Pitcher K. E. BOUSHEE (Captain-elect) Pitcher R. M.

Wildcat season of 1924 was not an altogether successful line. Ten games were won and eight were Icist, hut five of the victories were against association teams. And in the intercollegiate varsity five were won and six lost. It is not hard to account for the defeat of the Wildcats in tiie state collegiate games when Carolina wcjn the S. I. C. tournament with four victories hy larger scores than her games with the Wildcats, Trinity, or Wake Forest : it means that the Old North State was carrying a particularly high brand of basketl all. The Wildcats had a good, hard- scrap])ing team, and in almost any uther state in the South would have been a winner. The 1924 squad showed many familiar faces. Two captains of former years. War Horse Maiize and Pat Crawford, were gone, hut Laird (F), Staley (F), Boggs (G), Mc- Connell (G), and Captain Davis (C), were all l)ack from the 1923 team. These five, with .Sapp ( ( i ) . a first year man. composed the first-strins, ' quint, while Mallury (F), and Beall (F), rendered valuable service in the pinches. The 1924 quint always jilayed a hard game. They some- times started slow, hut picked up with a rush. Some- times they played a championship brand of ball, but unfor- tunately they also had a few had nights. As a result the seasiin was a checkered one. Hut when it had all cleared away the Wildcats had marked u ) 552 jxnnts to 480 for the opponents. Notwithstanding that the ' 24 season was only a fair one, prospects for next year are de. ll bright. Coach Younger will have his eye on the weak spots and will have the advantage of working with a s(|uad he knows thoroughly. All of the 1924 squad will be back- fur another toss at the steel hoop. The first item on the Cats ' menu was the visit of the Concord team. The game was a walk-away, 49-6, although nine men were given a chance against the opposition. T. I . .Staley started off his drive for high-point honors with a total of 16 jioints. The last half was a 30-0 score for Davidson. After the initial picnic Coach Younger ' s five went down to the Queen City and lost a hot game 26-20. A few min- utes of lucky long shots spelt defeat for the Red and lUack. Most cif tile game it was nip and tuck with the 2 1 ■- Wildcats a point or two in the lead during- the first half. Laird was high-point man. The next association game, with the Statesville A. . . was a 36-14 victory for the Wildcats. The game was played up in Iredell. Sock Boggs was a feature with a total of 9 points from his standing guard position. T. F. Staley rang up an even decem. Score : Davidson 22, Oppo- nents 14. Then came Carolina. It was a beautiful game in the Charlotte auditorium. Always Carolina was a little ahead, but never out of reach. The first half ended 25-17 but in the middle of the last period Davidson pulled within 3 points of the Southern champs. The excitement was intense and for a while it looked like a Red and Black victory. But the strain was too great and for the last ten minutes Davidson could not make a point while the Tar Heels ran the score up to 37-27. Red Laird made 13 points and Staley 8. As usual Sook laiku Boggs ' guarding was a feature. Then came exams and for a week or two there was work in the clan of the Cat. This inactivity told in the first post- exam game and it was only a last minute spurt that enabled Coach Younger ' s cohorts to win from the Belmont Amer- ican Legion 31-28. The Belmont team was composed of ex-college stars, but the game throughout was mediocre. The next game was with Guilford. The Quakers were always a hard quint to beat but with Sook guarding the game of his life the visitors were held to 23 points while the Red and Black rang up 33. Another trip to Charlotte resulted in the loss of another important game. Trinity got the better edge of a 40-30 score. The first half was a walk- away for the Alethodists, 22-11. In the lat- iioccs ter half the Wildcats fought back on even terms but could not pull down the lead. Staley and Sapp together made 20 of the Wildcats ' points. Then came a series of victories. Florida, Lenoir, N. C. State, and South Carolina visited the Hill and travelled back defeated. The Florida game was slow and ragged and the crowd yawned at intervals though at times the roughness of the games awoke illegitimate interest. The final score was 34-22. Lenoir was another victory but not much of a game. Davidson missed many easy shots and ought to have had more than a 34-21 margin. Staley, with 19 points, was the bright light of the game. N. C. State dropped a 24-13 that was a fine exhibition of A-1 guarding. It was Boggs ' big day on the defense with Staley and McConnell leading the Cats ' offense. McConnell 24- ? ■ Thu South Carolina game was the higli point of the 1924 season. The Gamecocks came with a reputation and left without it. A big crowd packed the gym and the din was terriljle every time the Red and Black rang the circle. The whole Davidson team looked good. The final score was , 5-29. Then came disaster with a row of five defeats. The less said the better. The night after the South Carolina game Wake Forest took a game into tow 32-22. The Baptists had a veteran team and an air-tight defense. Staley was ofif form, but Laird rang up 9 points. All of the enemy played a great game. The Charlotte Y return game was a fiasco. Charlotte won 37-23, before a sleepy crowd. Then the Wildcats left on the only extensive trip of the schedule — a three-day tour of the state. Wake Forest won the first game 33-16. Staley was again ofif form and Laird made most of the Wildcats ' points. The next night State took revenge for the earlier game and won 39-33, in an extra period game. Spec ' McCi nell ran wild netting 12 points, but a regiment of fouls won for the engineers. Then came Guilford, and J. G. Frazier scored 26 points, more than the Wildcats put together. The final result was 37-25. It was the last game on the trip and the Red and Black trailed back discomfited. Two victories over association teams closed the season. Belmont was beaten 33-28 and Statesville A. A. 44-13. A contemplated state meet did not materialize and the 1924 season was over — neither the best nor worst (jf Davidson seasons. -3 LiQ (wm 24r s- TRNCK H £ S T N --8 n 24n §■■■ Track Resume GALLOWAY Captain F ever a losing team was a credit to Davidson, the 1923 track team was that— although winning only one of three meets and placing third in the State Olympic Meet does not add much to the prowess of Coach |j Gray ' s last bunch of cinder packers the fact that four records were bettered in as many events must mean that the team ' s work was stellar in some respects and moves the balance over to the credit side. This in itself is a new record in record- breaking at Davidson and at least adds that distinction to the 1923 V i, _ J track squad. New high water marks were set up in the pole vault, mjB high jump, mile run, and javelin throw. Coach Gray ' s best mate- S B rial was in the field events, four of the f ve letter men back being ■ ■ in that department, and the lack of material in the __ J — track events accounts for the poor showing the jHfl H team made. Galloway, captain of the squad, was ■■ HJI H back on the job and held down the middle distances fairly well, but with the exception of McConnell, who broke the college record in the mile run, was the only runner who was able to come through a consistent point-winner. McConnell, out for track for the first time, was the sensation of the season, bettering the college mile run record by four seconds in the State Olymphic meet. In the field events Streibich moved the pole vault record up to 11 feet, Calhoun raised the high jump to 5 feet llVi inches, and McComb bettered his own record in the javelin throw, setting the new mark at 158 feet 8 inches. DAVIDSON vs. SOUTH CAROLINA The season opened with a close win over the University of South Carolina. In a slow meet, held in a cold drizzling rain, at Columbia, S. C, the Red and Black track aggregation put it over the Gamecocks 57 2-3 to 54 1-3 by holding their own in the track events and excelling in the field events. Even this first meet brought out the Wildcats weakness in track events and but for first and second places in the three events the tale would be different. The Wildcats, with Gracey, Streibich, and Lindamood doing stellar work, jumped into the lead when the meet opened with field events, but South Carolina closed a wide gap and took the lead by a stiiall margin by winning a number of firsts in the track events. Davidson was finishing a close second in most of the runs, however, and Carolina was able to show no great difference. The last event was a javelin throw, and first and second place by McComb and Gracy respectivel} ' copped the meet for the Wild- cats. Streibich and Gracy were Davidson ' s best bets accounting for .12 of the 57 points, Gracy leading the meet with 13 points for two firsts and a second. t n Captain-elect 24- ? ■- DAVIDSON vs. N. C. STATE The following week-end saw Davidson travelling up to N. C. State to return home on the short end of an 88 to 38 score. In cold weather and a drizzling rain State ' s Engineers took the Wildcats into camp showing superiority in almost every event. Davidson was outclassed in the weight events and hience unable to overcome her disadvantage in track events. Excitement marked the meet with the Red and Black tracksters making State fight hard for their decisive win. Gracy and Streibich assumed the responsibility of Davidson ' s load and produced 8 points each with one first and a second each. McComb broke his own javelin record of the year before, by a little over a foot but was forced to accept a second place at 158 feet 8 inches. McConnell missed a first place in the mile run by inches after speeding from last to second place on the tinal straightaway. WILDCATS vs. TIGERS CALHOUN Davidson lust the last meet uf the season to Clemson 7814 to SSYz. In their own back yard, with the weather ideal for a meet, the Red and Black knights of the cinder circut went down after a hard fight before one of the best track teams in the South. The Tigers showed decided superiority in almost every event, the Davidson men making the meet thrilling by hard runs for second places. The strength of Davidson ' s opponents can be reckoned by considering the fact that two Davidson records were broken and a third tied in this decided defeat. Under ideal weather con- ditions Coach Gray ' s cohorts were showing their best form but the team that doubled Georgia ' s and the U. N. C ' s. combined score in a triangular meet was too much for them. McConnell tied the Davidson record in the mile but was forced to accept second place in the race. Streibich, Calhoun and McComb ran up new records in the pole vault, high jump, and the GRACEY javelin throw, producing three of Davidson ' s first places and accounting for a majority of our scor- ing. The South Carolina sprinters and distance men were too much for the Wildcats, who were forced to content themselves with an occasional second and a number of third places. Galloway showed good form, con- tributing a number of Davidson ' s points. s STATE OLYMPIC MEET Davidson entered the State Olympic Meet in Chapel Hill with 8 men and emerged with third place, notwithstanding the fact that her squad numbered only half as many as that of any of her opponents. The final rating was as follows : Carolina, first ; N. C. State, second; Davidson, third; and Trinity, fourth. Davidson ' s time records in the State meet were good and it was exceptional that McConnell although setting a new Davidson record in the mile run finished second in the race. In all the track events un- 19 24- LINUAMOOU McCONNELL usually fast time was made i)iit the others were just a little better. Gracey, Streibich, and Cal- houn were the main point gatherers. Gracey leading with 7 points on a first and second. Davidson can well afford to be proud o f the showing made by her sons against state-wide opposition. TRACK SQUAU, ly2j Tennis Team S. H. BRADLEY H. B. PRICE M. S. BEALL T. F. STALEY and L iHE tennis season for 1933 has been very successful on the whole. David- son has won four matches played, tied one and lost one. The first meet of the season was with Clemson, in which the Davidson team, composed of Bradley, Stalcy, Beall and Price, defeated the Clemson team 6-0 in matches. A Virginia trip resulted in a 3-3 tie with V. P. I., a 5-0 victory over V. M. I., and a 4-2 victory over the strong Washing- team. At tlie state meet held the second week in May, Hugh Bradley, for Davidson, won for the second consecutive time the state championship from Jernigan, of Carolina. Bradley ' s playing featured the entire season, for he faced some of the strongest col- lege players in the South and won every match of the season. Staley reached the semi-finals in the state meet, while Staley and Bradley climbed to the finals in doubles, there to lose in a hard match with Carolina ' s team. The last tneet of the spring was with Carolina, in which Carolina won, 5-1, Bradley scoring his usual victory over Tench Cox, Carolina ' s best bet. In the fall of 1923, Davidson defeated Wake Forest 6-0, on the local courts.

Winning three out of six matches and proving its drawing power by well attended meets on the Hill, the youngest sport at Davidson, under the tutelage of Captain Weems, stellar grappler from West Point, has come into its own. In urms of comparison this year ' s wrestling season has been a great success. The IHirt for the first time has had the services of a coach, sufficient equipment, abundant nudii ial and a full schedule, and these advantages have given Davidson College their first winning lot of mat artists. Especially has the effective and efficient work of Coach Weems contributed to the upbuilding of the sport. The schedule opened with Concord Y , on the Hill, and a decisive win for the Wildcats, with a 21 to score. The match was featured by the lightning work of the Patterson brothers. Carolina invades the Wildcat lair and goes back to Chapel Hill with a 5 to 3 win, one week after the Concord Y fray. On the first road trip V. P. I. was trounced 16 to 11. in the fastest match of the season. Cromartie broke a second tie by entering in two weights and win- ning both. The next match, with the Trinity Blue Devil ' s, on the Wildcats ' home carpet, resulted in a Davidson win, 8 to 5. On the second road trip Carolina comes off victorious by a 13 to 3 win, Davidson ' s only points coming from Selser ' s time decision in the opening match. Completely outclassed by the victors of the Army, V. M. I. took the Wildcats into camp with a 21 to defeat. Davidson was only able to get two draws in the lightweight classes, and from then on the Cadets had things their own way. Lindamood had time on Barbour, only to be rolled over a second before the referee ' s whistle. With this match the Wildcat mat schedule came to a close, and letters were awarded to the following men; Lindamood (Captain), Cro- martie, Cox, W. D., Cox, L. P., Patterson, N. G., Vance, and Selser. .Anffl(!5a? Msa2ina ' . 2ia«CBawKaw •i v.. i4 t Miss Gi iLi Wile Miss A ' J)ics ' Jlllc Miss Adelaide McAlIistc a i M v lK ,, J y.

BROWN THE Dramatic Club has been as usual one of the very active organizations on the Hill. Althought there was no trip made like that of last year, the work done here more than made up for this, and was of more genuine value to the men than that of any previous year. This is the fifth year of this phase of college activity, the club having been organized in the fall of 1920 under the direction of Prof. E. J. Erwin, who has worked tirelessly and patienth to develop dramatic talent among the students, and with great success. The first performance of the Dramatic Club this year was during Pan-Hellenic Week in November, when three one act plays, all written by local talent ware given. The Cretans, by W. F. Galloway. Out o ' Goodness, by L. D. Elkins, and Why, Pierrot written by Prof. E. J. Erwin. The latter was a musical comedy, calling for the assistance of six young ladies chosen from among our village beauties. The char- acterization of this play was especially good with Watt McCain and Dorothy Finlay- son in the roles of Pierrot and Pierette. Three more one-act plays were given during Junior Week and a Minstrel at Commencement, both running smoothly. To Prof. F. L. Dendy should go credit for his helpful supervision in directing the club, especially in the art of good characterizations. Prof. E. J. Erwin is, as usual, the main cog in Davidson ' s dramatic life, and too much can ' t be said in praise of his work with the club. 119 24n s- Glee Club W. T. J0NP:S President and Leader C V.

EARNEST -• THIS year the Glee Club has without a doubt been the outstanding organization liii the eampus. Of course Davidson has always had a Glee Club but never before has there l)een one to compare with that of this year. Credit for this is due very largely to Mrs. Coral Hayner Baker, who trained the club for its season ' s work. The organization is also indebted to Dr. W. J. Martin for pro- viding half the funds necessary to obtain so splendid a trainer. However, most of the responsibility for the success falls to Ted Jones, President and Director who worked unceasingly to produce a glee club of which Davidson would be proud. A new item was instituted in the activities and social calendar by the leader, in the form of Stunt Night, which was held on Nov. 13. This had the double purpose of an entertainment and gave opportunity to locate additional material for the club. Stunts mostly in the form of musical combinations, dramatic features and acrobatic manipula- tions presented a varied program. Prof. E. J. Erwin, director of the Dramatic Club, assisted in the coaching, and Stunt Night, held during Pan Hellenic Week, wa.s- a decided success. The personnel of the Glee Club, after a careful selection was composed of 25 men, and with Mrs. Baker directing, they set in to hard work. After three performances in nearby towns, the club started on a very extensive tour on December 4th. This itinerary was the largest ever attempted by any Davidson Glee Club, and included seven performances in North Carolina, two in South Carolina and three in Georgia. Stops were made at several girls colleges, Queens, Anderson, Converse, Brenau, Shorter and Agnes Scott, which gave the club quite a reputation among the fair ones. In Atlanta the club gave a radio concert over W. S. B., of the Atlanta Journal after the Agnes Scott performance, and many friends have since written how much they enjoyed listening in. The Davidson Alumni Association of Atlanta gave the boys a luncheon at the Ansley Hotel, and Miss Ida Wells, Sponsor for the Glee Club, enter- tained in the Tea Room at the foot of Stone Mountain. With some minor changes in the personnel of the club during the spring, it still continued to be a great credit to its trainers. Several performances were put on, in Charlotte, Lexington and Lenoir, with the club carrying off high honors each time. The Glee Club was a great success, and was hailed everywhereas one of the best in the South. As a medium of entertainment it was peerless and as an advertising feature for Davidson College it would have been hard to beat. Surely we are proud of it and we hope that we may have fully as good a club next year. -8 f 19 24. ? g- PUBLICATKDN 19 fSJfffh ■- Davidsoiiian Staff L. D. ELKINS K(litor-in-Chief R. L.

It is the medium through Avhich the news of student and alumni activity is ])ublished. The Davidsonian was founded l)y the class oi 1915. It was christened The Livest Wire on the Hill, and ever has it lived up to the that name. In its infancy the little college sheet embarked on a policy of progressive service. During the ten years of its existence it has waged an active campaign in this interest, and has been one of the potent factors in making a Bigger and Bet- ter Davidson. With the development of the college the Davidsonian has enjoyed a phenomenal growth. It has been the aim of the board of editors of 1923-1924 to make The Livest Wire on the Hill the Best All-Round College Weekly in Dixie. To this end every effort has been made to strengthen the paper in everv wav — editorially, in news value, in service to the student government and all student activities, and from a business standpoint. ■ f 19 24n g--- Tlie Davidson College Magazine Staff W.

The Magazine seemed to be in its death struggle when a competent Bus- iness administration put it on its feet this year.

It has inspired in the freshmen a desire to live up to the regulations imposed on them, and as it were, has merited the confidence of the freshmen by trusting and having con- fidence in them.

It is spon- sored by an international organization of such clubs, and is aided by funds from the Carnegie Institute. The club on the campus is composed of a group of selected Juniors and Seniors along with a few members of the faculty, who, feeling deeply sensible of the importance to college men of keeping up with world affairs, undertake, at regular meetings, and in co-operation with other clubs, to study those questions most pertinent to our nation ' s and the world ' s welfare. Through speakers and other agencies the club keeps in touch with the proldems of other countries, and its general purpose is to aid its members and the stu lents at large t i think internationally.

HOLLINGSWORTH Intercollegiate Debating Chronicle A FORWARD STEP in the advancement of forensic activities has been inaug- urated during the present term, one that bids fair to inject new Hfe into the work of the four literary societies. Heretofore, the weekly meetings followed the time-honored and traditional form of procedure, namely, that of a set pro- gram consisting of a debate, declamation, oration, with perhaps an added feature occasionally. Even the most interested ones in the societies became tired at times at the rather dull meetings, and listless preparation made by the speakers. It was evident that something would have to be done to regain the prestige of the literary society on the campus. A plan submitted by the Alpha Phi Epsilon Literary Fraternity seemed to offer a solution to this problem. It consisted of a change in the literary society program; the doing away with the regular debate and speeches and instituting a Parliamentary plan of procedure. At the close of a meeting, two or more subjects were to be announced, being of general interest with a broad scope. At the next meeting, these subjects, or one specific subject was to be introduced to the house in the form of a bill, and the arguments pro and con to be heard concerning the advisability of accepting or throw- ing out the measure. The reviewer serves to choose those of the speakers whom he thinks merit a society credit by virtue of their preparation and deliverance of a speech that will serve to annul or pass the proposition before the house. Each of the four societies keeps its own officers, with the organization worked out entirely on a Parliamentary basis. With the adoption of this proposed measure by the four societies at the first of the year, increased interest has been shown in the society work as well as all inter-society contests. The new order provides for a better understanding of Parliamentary law and order as well as a knowledge of intensive debating and arguing that will do much to train future speakers in public life. Thorough assimilating and digesting of material is required before a speaker can attack or further a proposed measure, with a security that comes from a clearly arranged mental outline of the fundamentals of the query. It is just this point that the new ruling has already done for the societies; that of preparation beforehand, and earnest effort while debating. Upholding the record of never a defeat on the campus by an intercollegiate debat- ing team, the Wildcats met the Washington and Lee debaters in Shearer Hall on December 14th and won the decision by a three and two vote of five judges. The ques- tion for debate was ; Resolved. That the present immigration law should be re-enacted. M. C. Stith and A. H. Hiliingsworth upheld the negative and brought honor to old Davidson by their crushing opposition of the offerings of the Generals ' debaters, Ralph Masinger and Charles W. Lowry, Jr. Opening the debate for the affirmative, Masinger reviewed the progress of imtnigra- tion in the United Stated, outlining the present law and giving as his arguments that the negative could not argue without fallacy for the total restriction or open-door policy, and that some restriction was necessary. Stith, speaking first for Davidson argued that the present law is not selective as regards quality and methods of choosing immigrants to America. Then, too, that too few of the Nordic race are selected and more preference is given to the Southern European types. Lowry, second speaker for the affirmative tried to prove that the present law is adequate and theoretically sound, basing his proofs on the fair treatment allotted to every nation. Closing the negative side, A. H. Hollingsworth outlined the new plan of the negative, that of limiting the number of immigrants to two per cent of the population as based on the 1890 census, as it would automatically raise the percentage of the Northern European races and cutting the Southern European types to less than is their present quota. The rebuttals were unusually spirited and full of pep. It was only after a close decision of the judges that the announcement was made that Davidson conquered. This last debate makes the record of Davidson stand, twenty won, and nine lost out of twenty-nine debates. This is a record that is held by few institutions and one of which Davidson students and alumni should feel a righteous pride. Freshman debating has been entered upon this year, a triangular debate having been arranged with two other colleges. With the help of Professor Dendy, public speaking has once more assumed its former position on the campus and the future is expected to hold many things in store for the Wildcats ' literary stars yet to come. 9 ( fiWHk (® L H -. .. o 5 24 ( te-- m ffi) Eiimeiieaii Literary Society Officers Fall Term Spring Term ■ R.

Miss Genster rooked her visitors in a charming manner throughout the occasion. Dinner was served by the hostess, assisted by her great-grandfather, beneath the cooling shade of the magnificent grove of pokeberry trees which surrounds the Genster home- place. The menu consisted of cough-drops. Eski- mo pie, and Sponge-cake. After lunch the visitors were again rooked by their hostess. The prize, won by Miss Sawyer Duett, was a beautifully executed silk thermometer. Mrs. Singer Nutlier rendered a delightful solo, after which the guests departed. Among those present were Misses May, Sawyer, and Willie Duett ; Gladys Gone, Lotta Mush, May B. Good, and Mesdames Singer Nuther, Bill Rendered, Lily O. The- vally, Paul Bara, Owen Kale, and Max A. Differenz. BALL-BEARING The pitcher nervously wound up, unwound, and the sphere shot towards the tee where the waiting quarterback snatched it and work- ing himself out of a combination trx?-hold and hammerlock, dropped it neatly through the basket for a love game. First down, cried the umperee, as the vast throng, gathered to witness the afTray, cheered themselves hoarse. Rollo. the favorite of the Black and Blue, grabbed a niblick — Serve, he gritted be- tween both teeth, Fll put it over the fence. ' The end leaned over the old apple and suddenly passed. With grim visage Rollo grasped the pole and getting his stride rose into the air, grabbing the sphere as it shot from the hands of the end, and amid the roars of delirious fans, dropped over the goal for three points, just as the final whistle rang out from the judge ' s tower. Moral : There ' s more ways of killing a feline than bv feeding it crushed asbestos.

SLIPS AND YANKS A DISCOURSE ON ETIQUETTE If this course on Tabic. Social and Busi- ness Etiquetti; is followed with diligence, many pointers on the art will be gleaned therefrom. Table Etiquette When entering the sallc a manger always search hastily for the best place and make a dash for it. If this is done with poise and counter-balance it always raises a stir of approval from the throng. The best place is usually found at that place nearest the great- est amount of victuals. Never seat your.sclf where you .will have to reach more than two yards for the food you wish. When you have succeeded in attaining a place take your napkin (or handkerchief, if no napkin is furnished) gracefully in one hand and tic it neatly to the top button of your waist-coat. This should always be done with the greatest neatness and dispatch. If you are asked to give thanks, always refuse calmly and bow your head. When thanks are being said, reach your right hand out and move the nearest plates of victuals toward you so you may be the first one to get the choicest parts. If someone grasps a plate before you, calmly take it away from him (or her) and say, Shame! Never say a word until your plate is com- pletely full and you have exactly one-tenth of it in your mouth, but then talk as you never have before. This plan is always applauded by the intellectual, for it is widely known to be the best way to get your food com- pletely chewed. Remember while you are talking never to point with a bare fork, always spear a pickle or olive with it and then make flourishing gestures, keeping the right elbow firmly planted between your plate and your glass. Always hold your knife in your left hand wdiile conveying food to your mouth, and if someone asks for the biscuits, never hand him less than two. If you are (Continued on next page column 2) QUESTION EVERY CULTURED DAVIDSON MAN SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER 1. With which hand should the napkin be tucked under the collar r 2.

Always hide your fresh cap under the piano or behind the clock because her kid brothers might steal it to play Indian with, 2. In the winter time be sure to turn out the lights because they will injure your eyes and thereby prevent you from studying. You won ' t have to worry about this in the summer time because you can sit out on the porch and the moon can ' t. 3. Don ' t squeeze her too tight because the price of setting broken ribs is higher than it used to be. 4. Always be sure that you are fully capable of holding her before you take !ier en your lap because you don ' t want her to fall and hurt herself. 5. Always try to leave looking as near as possible like you did when you came, be- ing sure that all foreign substances, such as powder, hair, etc., etc., is removed from the coat lapels, and that the face is not decorated with, etc. (NOTE: For further instructions along this line see Speedy Carr or Ted Jones).

(Continued from preceding page col. 1) enjoying the food and have given out of things to talk about, you may whistle softly between your teeth. And remember never to talk when less than two are talking at the same time. If you are uncertain which impleme nt to use, always watch your host (or hostess) and take the opposite one on the opposite side of your plate or he (or she) will know he (or she) is being watched. The person at the head of the table is the host (or hostess) and if he (or she) waits too long to take an implement, you may grab the first one that comes to your mind and begin. This always saves time and it is best at all times to be the first one to finish a course. If you see anything that you are unable to eat at the time, but may be enjoyed at a later date, cram as much of it as possible into your pocket. When the last course has been served and finished, place your left elbow in the exact center of your dessert plate and remember that it is always considered bad to cover your face with your napkin when picking your teeth. If no tooth-picks are furnished, you may use your fork. Watch your host (or hostess) and if he (or she) folds his (or her) napkin you must wad yours in a neat ball and throw it at him (or her). If he (or she) does not fold the napkin, throw yours at the person sitting at his (or her) immediate right. When you are cotnpletely through you must ris ' . quickly and leave but do not say any- thing. It is no longer considered wrong if you fail to turn your chair over on arising, but it is always best to do so. Social Etiquette When you are walking on the street with a girl you must talk as loud as possible and never cease for any reason whatsoever. If she refuses to let you take her arm while crossing the street, you must act gruff and (Continued on next page column 2) ■■-3 ■■ SLIPS AND YANKS THE MARRIAGE OF LIZA BROWN vs. HENRY BLUE Say.

You bet dey was. Dat ' s why I ' se limpin. When dey rung dat bell, Ooo! Dere was a big rush. Dem niggers acted jes like a bunch of hogs. You bet I did. Man, I knows dem niggers. I got dere first and got what I wanted. Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you. De bride fainted when everybody beat her to de feast. An ole Will he took charge of de ceremony. He made dem niggers open de windows so dat some climate could git in. Den he anointed dat gal wid some acrobatic spirits of pneumonia an she come to jes a-raving. She forgot (Continued on next page column 2) (Continued from preceding page col. 2) take it anyhow, continuing to hold it after you have crossed the street. If she is car- rying an umbrella and the weather is rainy, you must take it away from her and hold it over yourself, but if the weather is clear, you may let her keep it. When entering a street car with a girl always let her get on first and stand at a good distance behind her, but never shut your eyes : the same thing applys when she is mounting a ladder. Never take a girl into a drug store, etc., for too many sweets spoil their appetite and health. At a dance when you have by chance got- ten with an unpopular girl, you may leave her standing in the middle of the floor after any dance and always be sure when breaking in to pinch the elbow of the man dancing with the girl with whom you wish to dance, otherwise he may not feel it. If a boy re- fuses to let you break in because the girl docs not like you, you may hit him in his left eye and dance with her anyhow — this always raises a stir of approval from the throng. On any occasion when introducing a boy to a girl, always spit twice and think three times, for it is a very grave under- taking ; the words to be used while doing this are: Mr. Blank, shake a mitt with Miss Blank. Never ofTfer a girl or young lady a cigar — she may take it. You must always carry a loaded pipe and offer it to her with a flourish- ing gesture. If she refuses, throw it aw ' ay, and while smoking yourself never ' nlow smoke in her face while she is looking. Never kiss a girl ' s hand unless she gives you permission. You may kiss her anywliero else w ' ithout permission. When you see a girl you know but haven ' t seen for a long time, you must rush up to her and slap her on the back. If she refuses to recognize you, hit her in the jaw. When you have just been introduced to a girl, you must take her, as quickly as possible, away from the man who introduced you. and when (Continued on next page column 1) 19 9jk m_ 24. SLIPS AND YANKS (Continued from preceding page col. 2) you have found a suitable place, you may find if she is your type of girl — if she is p n. you may get rid of her in the manner that seems quickest. When someone commits a blunder in ar.y way, always laugh loudly and make suitable comments, but if you commit one yourself, blame it on the person standing closest to you, and do not feel bad if that person hap- pens to be a boy. Business Etiquette When ou have a customer on the string, never pretend that you think he knows a thing about the thing that you are selling, and always contradict him in any statement that he makes. Always pick an argument with your customer and blow smoke in his face if he argues back. Never ofler a cus- tomer a cigarette or a cigar or anything, but if he says he must go to lunch, etc., you may accompany him if you allow him to pay the bill. When you, by any chance, fail to sell a prospective customer, you must kick him out of the store and ask him to never return. If someone else has gotten a customer first, you must rush up and jerk him away. If the customer or the other salesman resists, you may kick them both with suitable comments. Never allow a customer to become disin- terested and if he goes to sleep while you are talking to him, you must hit him over the head and tell him exactly what you think of him. If a customer tries to escape, you may hold him by any means necessary. Never pretend to believe a word your cus- tomer says and every time he makes a re- mark you must sneer. If necessary for him to sec what you think of him, you may tell him. Tell as many lies about the thing you are trying to sell as you can think of because he won ' t believe you anyhow. If he ever makes any remark or sign that shows that he does not believe what you say, you must slap him and tell him he is ignorant. Always use plain language while talking to your custo- mer, for he may take offense over the u-c 1 obsolete words and the like. When you have accidently sold something to a customer you must act offended and ii you have used much of your valuable time in convincing him, it is always best to make him pay double the price and tell him .x- actly why you do this.

Advantages of the Louisville Seminary An Exceptional Faculty Dr. William Kay iJobyns, nf iht- Highland Presbyterian Church, of Birming- ham, Ala., says : Of all the theological institutions in America I sincerely believe that the Louisville Seminary is tlie best equipped for the sort of education that the times demand. As to the Faculty, I challenge comparison with any similar mstitution anywhere. The men are experts in their departments, practical in their knowledge and instruction, and eminent in their service to the cause of Christ. The recent addition of the Department of Church Efficiency sets the Seminary a little forward afront in the theological column. Neighboring Institutions INeighbonng institutions Together with the advantages of the Seminary itself our students have all the opportunities that go with the University of Louisville, the great Baptist The- ological Seminary, the central city Y. M. C. A., and the city Library, all within five minutes ' walk from the Seminary. A Practical Clinic Louisville is the largest Presbyterian center in the South; with the advantages of work and inspiration to our students of all the great Presbyterian churches of three denominations. Delightful Home Life Our students are under the care of our indefatigable and self-sacrificing mat- ron, Miss Emily H.

COLUMBIA SEMINARY is ovviu-d and controlled by the Synod ' s of South Carolina, Georgia, Alal)ania and Florida. It has a con- stituency of about 100,000 communicants. When the Seminary was organized in 1828 there were scarcely 6,000. The Seminary has continued its existence through all these years, and has done a great work for the Church, sending out some 1,200 ministers. TI. Columbia Seminary is continuing her useful work. She has a competent Faculty of eight men of conservative faith, sound learning, and practical knowledge of Church work. Its student body consists of sixty-three fine, active young men. coming from various parts of tin- United States. The demand for the services of these young men is growing every year and, so far, it is impossible to meet all the calls that come. Not only are the Seniors engaged, but during the summer every student in the Seminary goes out into some form of practical religious work. III. The future of the Seminary is hopeful. At present there arc plans on foot for increasing its endowment and improving its equipment. The i5cople are being aroused as to the importance of theological education, and are rallying to the call for adequate sujjport. IV. The location of the Seminary from almost every standpoint is ideal. The climate is comfortable and healthful. Columbia is a city of schools and college. The University offers great opportunities to the energetic student for educational courses, many of our students gaining their Master ' s degree while attaining their Bachelor of Arts degree at the Seminary. V. All ministerial students are welcomed, and this Seminary gives the usual financial assistance to worthy young men as is offered by the other Seminaries of our Church. l ' or latest catalogue and other information, write to: HUGH R.
