We have painted into the picture the story of one who years and years ago walked under the same trees, loved the same school and fought with the same bravery with which we hope Davidson men will ever tight. Years will come when you have for- gotten the lessons learned here, when your friends are far away, and your di])loma lost in some attic trunk. Dust off. then, the old annual, and live again the days that we have pictured here.

Lunsford and Smith Richardson. We have found in these two brothers the same spirit of loyalty and bravery that ever characterized the life of jNIar- shal Ney — a spirit that was the making of their lives and a spirit that has become a living part of Davidson.

The life of Ney, as a daring leader and resourceful strategist is again familiar to all students of military science. There is, however, another phase of his life which is not so familiar except to stu- dents of the question — that is Ney ' s escape from France after a bogus execution, his life in Piedmont North Carolina, his frequent visits to the Davidson campus, and his de- signing of the Davidson College seal. It is a matter of history that Peter Stuart Ney, an officer of the French Army, a teach- er in Iredell County, a frequent visitor to Davidson, was the designer of our seal. A number of books have been written to show that he was none other than Michael Ney, the famous Marshal of France. Such in- evitably is the conclusion of those who study the matter. Around this tradition, which to us as to thousands of others, seems to be well ground- ed, we have built this annual. From the first lining leaf drawing showing Ney mounted for battle to the last one showing him drawing the Davidson seal we have tried to link the man with the college. The bookplate is a sketch of one of Ney ' s draw- ings in our own library. Our five book inserts show Ney in char- acteristic situations. The first, The Lead- ers, shows Napoleon and Ney watching the progress of tlie battle. The Classes gives a glimpse of Ney planning his campaigns — campaigns which strategists point to with pride. Athletics shows Xey in his personal glory — for he was known as one of the two finest swordsmen ever to serve in the French army. Fraternities is a sketch of Lord Well- ington ' s supposed plan to rescue Ney from death — planned because the two were both high officials in the Masonic Order. Activities shows Ney in the height of battle — personally leading his men to victory as was his custom. By Napoleon he was characterized as The Bravest of the Brave. . y ■=r - T ? = l i i l II Kii [fall. Jfoodnnc iVilsnii hen- i-rci ' i ' ftl hix firxt trainiii i in public ' ptaking.

For ninety-one years Da- vidson College has been at work training you and your predecessors for a life of usefulness to yourself and your fellowman. For nearly a third of that time some of us on the faculty have had a part in this serv ice. Some of you have been here for a college generation. The time goes quickly by. As each graduating class goes out from our Alma Mater, all of us, those younger in the service as well as those who have been for long time in the work, rejoice in its fine char- acter as well as tliat of the student body as a whole. The year 1926-1927 is no excep- tion to tile rule of work well done, character finely formed, intellects trained for service and high purposes fixed for a life of great usefulness on the part of the student body. It can hardly be supposed that any faculty has a better spirited body to work with and for. and be- cause of this we are encouraged in our work and to do our best. If I might be pardoned for making a suggestion for your good it would be this: Let each of you, graduate and under-graduate alike, take as his rule of life to do his whole duty always at the right time, and thus properly co-ordinate all his activities, physical, social, intellec- tual and spiritual. I am glad of this opportunity, extended through the editor of your Annual, to express my own personal, as well as official, good wishes to each one of you, the Student Body as a whole, and especially your Senior Class. Cordially yours, WM. J. MARTIN. President. ¥ if p p y I THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THE Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of Davidson College meets several times during the year, exercising all the ])owers of the Board itself dm-ing the interval be- tween the meetings of the Board as a whole, its acts, naturally, being subject to the review of the Board of Trustees. At the head of this organization is Dr. Walter L. Lingle, Richmond, Vir- ginia, chairman by virtue of his position as President of the Board of Trustees. Other members of the Executive Com- mittee are: Mr. S. A. Robinson, cx- officio Secretary, of Gastonia; INIr. R. A. Dunn, Mr. W. H. Belk, Mr. H. N. Pharr, of Charlotte; Rev. Byron Clark, D. D., of Salisbury; :Mr. W. J. Roddey, of Rock Hill, South Carolina, and Mr. II. Smith Richardson, of Greensboro.

Dr. William Joseph Martin is pres- ident, with Dr. W. K. Grey as vice-president. Mr. Frank L. Jackson is treasurer and pmchasing agent, while ]Mr. Frederick W. Ilengeveld is registrar. However, at the jiresent time there is, as has been tlie case for years, only one dean— and that dean is Dr. ]Mark Kdgar Sentelle. The college is at the present time divided into four divisions, or schools — the language department, the science dei)artment, the social science de- partment and the military department.

For a class, as well as an individual, craves dramatic pre- sentation of its career. Lest this narration of the life and works of Mister Twenty-Seven become too elabo- rate with superfluous details, or else too lumpy with massive generalities, we shall adopt a telescopic style. This is a sketchy drama of one eharactei- set upon a single scene. The character is Mister Twenty- Seven, a composite gentleman. The scene is Davidson College, a Wildcat ' s den. ACT ONE 192.3-24 Fresh Twenty- Seven arrives in sonic two hundred and forty green sections and from almost as many parts of the adjacent world. To Y quarters on the Phi piazza.

I eonrse. he completed the freshman and so])homore years in ])re})aration for Electrical PLngineer- ing, but Barton ' s return to Davidson to resmne his work as a junior Avas prohibited by the accident that re- sulted in his death. During the summer of 192.5 his attem])t to save the life of a drowning child ])roved fatal to him. Quiet and unassuming, was the Barton known to his friends at Davidson; making manifest in his daily life that same nobleness of sjiirit revealed in his death. RoHERT Donald Robertson ROBERT Donald Robertson, born in Sal)etha, Kansas, April 17th. 190.5, moved to Georgia in his early childhood, and later to Chatta- nooga; graduated from Chattanooga High School in 192.3; entered David- son in the fall of ' 2;3 with tlie ])resent senior class, where he remained until the middle of his sophomore year; died in Chattanooga September .30th, 192G, as a residt of an o])eration for abscess of the brain. After leaving Davidson Robert- son entered Texas A. ]M. at Bryan, Texas, where he took up a coiu-se in Cotton JMarketing. He was at home for a short simimer vacation when attacked by the malady to which he later succumbed. Holly, as he will be remembered by his many friends of the class of ' 27 and ' 28, was a stranger to none — a friend to all. Truly an o})timist he was : a constant wearer of the smile and a scorner of the frown. To have known him for a day is to love him still. 8 I I ' 7 J 7 7! 7 ri r nrt Charlotte, North Carolina Pachclor of Snciicr in Che Manager Student Store. Business ;;bility seems to run in his family. His brother before hitn was manager of the Student Store, and now Fletch has stepped into his shoes and has set a pace for efficiency that his successors will find hard to follow. But business ability is not his only asset, as will be vouched for by the many girls who have come under his charms. As a lover he might well be called the modern Don Juan . While his name does not appear on the honor roll, nor on many of the lists of names of those engaged in student activities, he has been instru- mental in putting across many plans for the betterment of Davidson. Added to his business ability and salesmanship, Fletch has the power of making friends with everyone with whom In- comes in contact. With his business ability and friendliness there is no reason in the world why he should not become a leader in the business world of tomorrow. The clcniiil fcmhiiiu- doth, draw lis on. WILLIAM LEE ALBRIGHT China Gkove, North Carolina liachi ' lor of .Irts of Da Piill Albright, soinetimes called by his nearest friends, Very Bright , is a typical Carolina Tar Heel. Coming, as he does, from a neighboring town, the only sensible thing to do was to enter Davidson. Bill started smiling the very first day and hasn ' t quit yet. Never in too big a hurry to pass a friendly word, never too anxious to finish a task at the e.xpense of thoroughness. Bill has always been a faithful worker, and a jolly good leader at bull sessions. His consistency and his wisdom are both shown by his keeping his same room for the entire four years at Davidson. He could join heartily with the glue in saying, Find a good thing and stick to it . Bill ' s modesty for- bids that he admit it, but his purpose in keeping his same room ,is not altogether an unselfish one. He takes pride in the thought that some day a living iTiemorial will mark the spot where the famous Dr. Albright lived while at Davidson, and a sign will be tacked on the huge oak, or elm, or beech, reminding the passer-by of the traditional spot. Xol stcifl, nor .t otc lo chanyc, bnt firm 3t 7 I I3 7 I 11 i WILLIAM ARBUCKLE ALEXANDER Huntington, West Virginia Bdihrlor of .4iis in Phllosol liy Varsity Wrestling Team. He is known variously, sometimes as Alex and again as Hermit . But this is in no way meant to reflect on his social nature, as when he had put in his belongings he found there was no room for a roommate and had to be content to be without one. Besides his numerous possessions he also had the ability to shoot his profs, as a four year aver- age of nearly ninety will show. The fact is that if it had not been for outside activities the Honor Roll would perhaps have had another member. .-X place on the Rifle Team, a member of the Wrest- ling Squad, and fifth place on the Tennis Team were Hermit ' s athletic achievements. Photography has played no small part in his life. In his first year they were of unpleasant happen- ings that might happen ; as such do to Freshmen, but since then he has risen in the rr.nks until he is the peer of the photographers of Davidson. The moon will look long for the nightly photographer who used to glory so much in his moonlight pic- tures. Why does he like the moonshine ? Solitude he loved. WILLIAM CRAIG ALEXANDER Huntersville, North Carolina Bacliclor of Art. ' ; in History Few are the men on the campus who could claim to know Solomon but those few count him as one of their closest friends: one that will al- ways be remembered. Solomon is a product of Huntersville and that town may w-ell be proud of her production because he has left a record behind him at Davidson College that any might envy. His words are few but when he speaks his words are full of wisdom as those from whom he got his nickname. .Alexander has done well in his college course and in his four years ' stay at David- son he has done a still greater thing, gained true friends. Now those true friends bid Solomon farewell as a College student and hope that he may have greater success as he takes his place among the seekers of fame outside these halls. To nw tlie meanest floii ' er tluit blows can give TJioiights. that often lie too deep for tears.

O. T. C. ; Court of Control. There are in every rlass a few outstanding men — men who in their make-up combine the qual- ities of the athlete, the thinker, and the gentleman. Just such a man is Tom. Few Wildcat teams have known a more unselfish or a more successful leader. His ability to swish goal after goal through the basket has been surpassed only liy his zeal in keeping the Wildcat Spirit a living part of his team. In scholarly lines Tom is recognized as a man of ability. Not an honor roll man perhaps but a man who studies for a purpose and that purpose the development of his mind in the broadest way. To speak of Tom ' s friendliness is to a Davidson man unnecessary. Every man on the campus has noticed his warm-hearted sincerity and cheery op- timism. As Tom departs there leaves a man of real character — a Davidson man in body, spirit, and heart. Scciiii only li ' liat is fair S ' iff ' ll only what is sii. ' eet.

The Crescent Limited came storming into the Charlotte station one December morning, puflfed a while, then pulled out as a figure reluctantly climbed aboard. It was Austin, minus his suit- case, stolen while he was ofif buying a magazine, so he said. Whatever he had been dreaming about it wasn ' t his handbag. Two weeks later he alighted in the same station reporting a glorious vacation despite the loss of a second suit-case full of clothes, stolen on his way back. And despite these two consecutive setbacks Mack has been able to inaintain his position as the best dressed man in Davidson ! You do not associate men of intellect and editors with the wearing of good clothes. But in Mack Austin you have the exception ; a glance into Mr. Hengeveld ' s records or at Tlie Chame- leon Mack edited will remove any doubt.

Iris in History Phila nthropic Literary Society; Assistant Basketball Manager (Three Years): Manager Freshman Basket- ball; Assistant in Biology; Assistant in Zoology; Biology Club; Vice-President and President of Biology Club; Honorary Fraternity Council. There are some who enter college, and, having won more or less recognition among their fellows, ; re content to depart from its portals, happy in the measure of their petty conceit. There are others, perhaps less assuming hut more numerous than the former class, who are satisfied to spend the four years of their college life making friends — caring little or nothing for a place in the hustle and hustle of campus life. Entering Davidson with enough modesty to he popular and yet enough sophistication to win re- spect, George has mounted high the ladder of suc- cess. His pursuit after knowledge and honors (and he has achieved both) have not blinded his eyes to the value of friendship. As a result he has won friends and honors with one and the same characteristic sweep. No man in the class of ' 27 has made more lasting or more genuine friends than George. No man has answered the call of duty more willingly, more faithfully, or more suc- cessfully. Permit us to borrow a phrase froin the last Yearbook and apply it to George — To know him is to respect him: to inow him intiinulrly is to rcrcre and Iionor him. SAMUEL LAWRENCE BELK Orlando, Florida Bacltclor of Science in Biology Glee Club (Two Years) ; Biology Club (Two Years) ; Vice-President Biology Club; Florida Club. Sam cleared port at Orlando, Florida in Sept- ember 1925 for Davidson, having previously navi- gated at P. C. for two years. We don ' t know whether he acciuired his gift of gab there or else- where : it seems to us that it must have been born in him, for Sam always has a better story than the next man, whether it be romance, adventure or Florida real estate. As a biologist, this man has proven his worth; as a man of musical talent, he has sung his way into the Glee Club; as a pro- fessional highwayman, he has bummed his way to and from Charlotte with astounding frequency. But Sam, your never-failing cheerful humor, your generosity and willingness to aid others, and your congenial hospitality have won you a warm place in our hearts. Best wishes wherever you may be, old boy. And (it ' zc )ny tusk is smoothly done 1 Clin fly or I can. run. Thirty i ■rrrr 7rr i Tny.

Jdhnnif . as he is best known around thu Cam- pus, came ti Davidson four years ago, a timid and shy young freshman, even as all of the members of the Class of ' 27; but not for long did he con- tinue in the above mentioned role ; for soon the men who possessed outstanding qualities began to forge ahead and assume positions of responsi- bility and trust in their Class and eventually in the student body. And such has been his position all through his college career. Not a phenomenal youth, to be sure, but one in whom his fellow students soon learned to admire, respect and greatest of all, to gladly welcome into the realm of their closest friendships. The student body loses one of its outstanding men in the graduation of Johnnie Bernhardt, but into the portals of that great body known as Alumni there steps a young man to whom Dav- idson may always point with pride as one of the staunchest of her manv sons. He was my friend, faitlifiil i}id insl I WILLIAM MORTON BLACK Davidson, North Carolina Bachelor of Science in Physics K 2 Freshman Football; Varsity Football (Four Years); Captain Football; D Club; Varsity Baseball (Two The tales ui melodr;;ma are full of the sudden return of some football player from the hospital to heroically win the final game of the season. The story of Black is different, though just as heroic, for last autumn days fcnind him slowly recovering from an attack of pneumonia and longing for the feel of the gridiron. After a great season as Cr.ptain of the team it was quite a heroic feat for Wick to plod day after day with the subs ; harder still to sit on the bench and watch his comrades in distress ; hardest per- haps of all to see them win the championship with- out being able to do his part. Wick played the man during these strenuous days of last autumn ; played the man more than he e er did when he charged through the opposing lines. He filled his place on the sideline as nobly as he ever filled his place on the team.

Success may be regarded as the attainment of things striven for — but when of their own accord those things by which we measure success come our way we need a broader term to designate the result of their acquisition. Yet such acquirement may not, can not be acclaimed the result of hap- hazard chance. There must be a reason. So it has been with Bo. Honors have come his way. His years at Davidson have been a success, but judged by a broader sense. And the reason — we can only say, Personality . A broad term it is and far-reaching; yet in Bo ' s case it must be big. Earnestness, sincerity, courtesy, refinement, coupled with his natural ability for leadership, have each played a large part in winning for this athlete the popularity which he deserves.

WILL HARLLEE BORDEAUX Wilmington, North Carolina Hocliclor of Arts in Psychology Pandeinic Literary Society; Foreign Relations Club; Vice-President Spanish Club; Bible Assistant; Physiol- ogy and Hygiene Assistant (Two Years) ; Education Assistant; President Wilmington Club. It is b;;fifling the wa) ' God maintains His im- partiality. To one he gives a fine voice, to another a genius for writing, to another a strong physique with which he may master his fellows, and to another a strong will with which he can master himself. None is without at least one of the God- given attributes, few possess them all. Harllee does not enjoy a particularly fine voice, neither does he possess a special genius for literature, nor a superior physique. But he can well boast of a strong will, with which he has made himself the master of his own destiny, and with which he has won the admiration of his fellows. Character and industry have combined to make him one of the most respected men on the David- son campus. His lofty ideals, his generosity, his faithfulness, his love of God and his fellow-man. his ambition, his business-like attitude have more than offset the meagreness of his stature. He is a man, temperate, valiant, chaste, and honest — pos- sessing wit, humor, mirth, and good breeding, and gallantry. Have not the Gods been a bit partial after all?

In fact, there is no one of us that has gone through Davidson with more frisk blitheness of spirit. College days have dealt Alf several set-backs but what trouble they have given him he has got out of with a grin and, though he wouldn ' t admit it, a bit of hard work now and again. Anyone that can look you in the eye as steadily as Brand does just won ' t be bluffed by Lady Luck. Alf ' s irresistible manner wins him anything be is willing to go after. He is jovial and hearty.

Cal is of that rare class of fellows who give you a definite sense of real wholesomeness. He if fair of face and feature; but, more notably, he is gifted with those other ineffable endowments that make for enduring success as the world takes it. His four years at Old D. C. have been years of satisfactory accomplishment. The list of his honors is indicative of this. The testimony of his friends is even more conclusive. We are looking for Cal to exhibit in future years that same propensity for soaring which has marked his successful encounters in the high jump in each track meet of his career. The altitude of Cal ' s bass voice is not so high; but the quality still exists. His deep and volum- inous tones have been one of the great mainstays of the Glee Club in recent years. These exceptional qualities, coupled with Cal ' s iniinitable line , bid fair to bring him the best the world has to offer in success and happiness.

It might be well to mention right in the start that more than one person has remarked at the noticeable resemblance between Jim Caligan and H. R. H. The Prince of Wales. To most people, Jim is a rather quiet, extremely nice looking per- son, who sings well and writes very fine verse ; but, to risk the triteness, among his friends he is also known as a highly likable companion, possess- ing a delightful tolerance and the finest sense of humor. Jim is one of the very few Davidson graduates who have had distinct poetical talents. During his stay at Davidson and his one year at the Uni- versity of South Carolina several strikingly ad- mirable literary recognitions have been given him : a short-story included and a poem mentioned in Dr. Schnittkind ' s Collegiate Anthologies, a song, of his own composition, sung over the radio from the Atlanta Broadcasting Station. His musical talent also cannot well be over- looked. During his Soph year at U. S.

The Class of ' 27 is proud to lioast of this Ala- hamian as one of her most distinguished sons. Since entering Davidson, he has made a record that is hard to surpass. As a leader, he has ex- celled as president of the V. M. C. A. ; as a scholar he has attained the ranks of Phi Beta Kappa; and as rn athlete he has been faithful, winning his letter in football. His only trouble seems to lie in the fact that the members of the fair se. have been a source of great bother to him. The ladies just won ' t leave him alone in spite of the fact that he has been very urgent in his request that they do so. How- ever, we believe that he has recently become e. - tremely interested in one of our Virginia colleges for women. As Bill ' s college course draws to a close and he passes forever from the portals of Davidson, we must pause and say. There goes a princely character, a true friend, and a leader of men.

Julian has made a true success of his college career by excelling in its two greatest spheres, that of the classroom and of friendship. He has been through the four years a thorough and con- sistent worker making grades far above the aver- age. This has won for him the coveted reputa- tion of a good student in the eyes of the faculty and of his fellows. To make friends in all the classes and to hold the.sc friends has been another of Julian ' s attainments. In the social life of the campus and neighboring cities he is well known and he has a little way of wearing the latest things in the haberdashery line. It is impossible to por- tray a man in a few words, especially a man of at- tractive personality and forceful character, Julian possesses these c|ualities and to the e.xtent that he leaves the campus a Davidson gentleman with the respect and admiration of his associates, When duty and pleasure conflict Let your conscience he your guide If consistent hard work and dependability mean anything in a man ' s life, they will inevitably show their best and noblest fruitage in Albert, Success sometimes comes to the brilliant, but always to the diligent; hence we phophesy great things for this man who has spent four quiet but profitable years with us, Copelan has in his quiet but compelling way m; de for himself a permanent niche in our hearts and memories, and it is with real sorrow that vc part with him after four years of companionship.

Many will be the memories then — of gay times, perhaps of quiet hours, but most happy, of college friends. You will count Bill Covington among the finest of those friends, remembering the level gaze he never failed to temper with a smile or the odd, guick way he had of nodding to you. That was what everyone liked : his debonair bantering way, which did not hide his sincerity. Bill took college awards and college disappoint- ments with the satne manfulness. Of all of ' 27 he managed to be the hardest worker easiestly. . nd what a gift of thoughtfiilness he had! Covington, man of honor eminently, of honors many, and true friends — no, you won ' t forget him. He comprehends his trust, and to the same Keeps failhjnl unlh a singleness of aim.

He played with the gang that takes the knocks and misses the glory — the scrubs. Only a real man will stick out there and fight day after day, and still love the game ! Consider this resume of John ' s football career as the keynote of his entire life at Davidson. John demonstrated that he had the real stuff in him by his hard and persistent work on both the football and w-restling squads, and he has won the esteem and admiration of the entire student body. W hether it w ' as on the gridiron, on the wrestling mat, or in the classroom, John did not know the word quit and by these admirable qualities has made a success of his college life. His friends know him as a quiet, unassuming gentleman, and are certain if he demonstrates the same qualities in his life after college, as he did here, he will be a real success, and what ' s more he ' ll be a real man.

Entering Davidson for his Sophomore year, after other members of ' 27 had set their caps in a fairly definite manner for school honors and offices, Grier plunged headfirst into the spirit and life of Davidson. A sugary morsel for student vituperation is the present status of literary societies on the campus. Did Grier kick? No, indeed! He debated in the society hall instead of extraneously against it. What more natural than that the Arkansas man should make the varsity debating team two years in succession? To converse with Grier you will be surprised at the soundness of his convictions and delighted Avith the rugged vigor of the man.

Although handicapped by his late start, he has overcome this obstacle by hard work and his pleasing personality, and has become one of the most respected and well-liked men of his class. . number of activities have claimed Harry ' s time, and although he did well in the classroom and in literary society work, his progress on the wrestling team and with the ladies has eclipsed all of his other achievements. He won a place on the varsity wrestling team his first year out and for two years has been one of the most consistent grapplers on the team. It seems that the girls cannot resist Harry ' s multitudinous charms and it is a rare day when one has not driven up to see him.

Down in Texas they call him Smitty, but so tame an appelation would not suffice at Davidson where stories of the wild and wooly west had pre- ceded him. And so they called him Bandit . Hailing from those regions west of the Mississippi where men are men, and (as Will Rogers says) beans is beans , Bandit soon had the Davidson campus aflutter with his almost unbelievable tales of the plains — of course they were true, he said they were ; and, as if that wasn ' t sufficient, his twin, who has since left us. affirmed the state- ments. If there is a man who gets more real kick out of life than this diminutive son of the Lone Star State, he has kept himself hidden from us. Two twinkling eyes that bespoke a store of ready wit and an e.xtraordinary insight into the ways of human beings were Bandit ' s gims, and his ammunition was plentiful. Before an open fire on a cold night Bandit inevitably became the center of attraction. His stories of the golden west with a few of his own experiences thrown in for good measure left his friends begging for more — and Bandit was not one to send them away dissatisfied. lay myself out to exaggerate. — Thoreau JAMES McKAY FARRELL Dunn, North Carolina Inuhclor of .Irts in Economics 2 A Basketball; Va R.

The sun rises early in this room, and never a late moon but gleams through the trees. Few of the so-called intelligentsia of the campus have wandered through its door, and yet there are even fewer of these who would not find some- thing different and interesting within — strange books upon the table, strange philosophies breathed through the air. .■ nd yet, something stranger than that — a col- lege lad not enthralled by the .Tctivities of the cam- pus nor bound in by his scholastic pursuits. Here one finds a philosopher, and yet one who, unlike the portly Socrates, sails gracefully through many a dance floor.

But when we know that the school to which he returned is Davidson then we realize that that intangible thing called Davidson Spirit found voice within him and led him back. We are glad that Bill came back. He has meant a lot to those of us who know him and are glad to call him our friend.

A man ' s worth is in no way dependent upon his size, as Bobby ' s case will easily prove. Although he can boast of a height of only five feet two he is. nevertheless, one of the big men on the campus. On the athletic field he has singularly distin- guished himself ; being one of the fastest and surest fielders on the baseball team. His hitting has not been extraordinary but his ability to beat ' em out to first base has always stood him in good stead and has been responsible for many runs. Bobby ' s ability on the baseball diamond is hardly a circumstance to his success with the weaker sex. He seems to possess that rare and much coveted appeal so often spoken of with regard to certain famous movie stars. We are not surprised at the ladies when we consider that right here on the campus his genial and friendly personality has gained him entrance into the hearts of all of us.

All of us know but few of us stop to consider or command those cheerful dependable men who keep things going, those who are not spectacular in brilliance or achievement but on whom you can depend for loyalty and faithful performance of the duties that count. It would be unfair to Droopy to say that he is among these; it would be more nearly just to say that he heads the list. Four falls of football have seen him scrapping cheerfully with those little-sung heroes, the All- Americans ; three seasons of basketball have seen him pushing some varsity man hard for his position, and each spring sees Droopy leading a class team on the diamond. And yet his time has not been wasted, for his athletic efforts have developed in him those qualities of persistence and optimism which are now so characteristic of the man.

Every college has, or should have, its connois- seur of clioscs litteraircs, and Davidson College has Paul Floyd Jones. His frank and attentive criticism of writings in TJw Chameleon have brought his name not only before the students of Davidson as a worthy judge of student attempts at authorship, but have carried it beyond the bounds of literary gatherings here into the realms of other colleges that have realized that Davidson has one who has indeed set a proper criterion in such matters. Jones also holds the position of Feature Editor of The Davidsonian and has contributed much in a pleasing and unique style to its worth. .As a student Floyd is here to stand forth peculiarly prominent in the pursuit of those studies known as classical. He is also interested in other forms of student endeavor. Quiet but of a cheerful and abundantly inform- ative nature he has made many friends, al l of whom wish for him the best of success in his chosen life work, the ministry.

Those who know him best assert that on occasion Hudson has an awful line , that is surpassed by few. He plans to enter the business world, and we would suggest that his ready line might bring excellent results as a bond salesman or in some similar line of work.

When Jim Love stepped out of his front door in Huntersville to enter Davidson he did so with the desire to profit therehy. And Jim Love has profited. He had tried another college first but here he has found what he wanted and is the better for so doing, as he, or any other Senior, will tell. Jim profited because he has in him those qualities which make for success, under- standing, good will and friendship. Of a quiet though jolly disposition, he has formed long stand- ing associations wherever he has been on the cam- pus and classrooms of old Davidson. He is an earnest student and his efforts have not been in vain as shown by his enviable type — that knows business is business and play is play, and that knows only real work in minding one ' s own busi- ness is worth while and lasting. .And not only did Jim F ove profit when he enter- ed Davidson but those with whom he came in contact profited. They found in him one who w ' as sympathetic and of rare depth of appreciative understanding.

And now a few words must close the history of four bright years in the life of Zeb. From the beginning he evinced that fondness for accuracy and thought which he found for himself in the realms of chemistry ; but the sen- sitive, the aesthetic always remained. In his as- suming way Zeb befriended himself to every man on the campus. The only regret he ever caused was that he over-estimated the good qualities of all he came in contact with. No wonder he was admired and respected even by those whose chem- istry papers he corrected. Nor does this mean that his life was a passive thing — it was something real and fine. To say that Zeb was a good fellow sounds paltry, but a college man will know what this means. Somewhat idealistic, a devotee to science, strictly conscientious, Zeb leaves his ac- customed place in Old Davidson to occupy a now vacant place in the field of larger service.

In the present day of bull artists one ca n better appreciate his quiet and unassuming ways. He tends to his own business. This is one of the highest tributes that we can pay to any one. He has made a great success of everything he has attempted here at Davidson. When he is not engaged in one of his other numerous pastimes, such as studying or making friends, he takes a little diversion on the golf links. Ever since he has been here he has continued to hold his place in the social whirl of the campus.

Jim lived in West Virginia but the mountains weren ' t high enough there for him so after his first two years in college he carried out Horace Greely ' s imperative and migrated to Colorado where he had room to expand hjs chest and ex- ercise with mountain lions. Just an all-round fellow, this Pinkney, for he not only excells in athletics but gobbles up the classic. Majoring in Soph Greek while in college he has acquired a remarkable vocabulary so that he may be able to order a bowl of soup or piece of pie in any (jreek restaurant. All in all, Jim is the linest type of Davidson ' s Christian manhood and stands head and shoulders above the crowd physically, spiritually, ment;illy and socially.

From his entr;:nce as a pea-green Freshie in the Fall of ' 23 to this, the Spring of ' 27, when the trail which Billy has been marking out on old David- son ' s Campus draws to its close, that trail has been a brilliant one. Always numbered among the scholastic leaders of his class, honored with positions of trust and responsibility by the reli- gious student organizations, chosen by his Profs, as assistant in Greek. Economics, etc., yet in the midst of multifarious duties ever ready to indulge in an occasional bull session — such a man is Billy. We may forget his high psychological I.

To a Davidson man the Presidency of the Student Body symbolizes the ultimate in honor, character, popularity and achievement, and in Nick these citialities are fully exemplified. A broken leg in an early season skirmish robbed him of the realization of his office hut failed to detract one whit from the honor which was his in the election.

Hear Shelliy laugh. Ask him to tell you the la,test wheeze — or n original limerick. Then you ' ll find that truly this man ' s life is enriched with a choice jewel, a keen sense of humor. Shelby is leader of the modern school of college hiunor on Davidson ' s campus. Davidson men relish the snappy takeoffs, clever poems and witty puns appearing each week as the penwork of The Peanut Parcher. And even distant schools bene- fit by the exchange of college papers. Rarely do you become acquainted with a true humorist who has not, too, a more serious side to his nature. Shelby can write real poetry with fine facility. He has contributed to the literary magazine. Talk over English poetry with this lanky Alabamian. You ' ll profit in the bargain. For he can substantiate his sensible prejudices with sane critical explanation.

It seems that John A. has brought to David- son with him some of the lofty ideals and aspira- tions that he probably inbibed while scanning the towering crests of the proverbially red north Georgia hills adjacent to the scenes of his younger days ; for not only has he been a hail fellow, well met but has taken a prominent part in various student activities, athletics as well as scientific. On the basketball team he has been a mainstay and few have been the points rung up by the forwards he has guarded. He is known for his irresistible and compelling peal of laughter as well as for his ability as an athlete. The dim corridors of old Davidson will seem melancholy indeed when they have reechoed for the last time the sounds of his hearty merriment. But a rumor comes to us that John A. will devote his efforts to the study and practice of medicine. If this be true, we can assure him of our patronage as he will certainly find his way to the head if his chosen profession. A good heart is better thun ail the heads in the zvorld. ■ — LVTTO.V.

To keep a student body at the top of enthusiasm, to prove this invaluable support to a traditionally small, consistently flashing- and ever lighting team — these are no little tasks. But Bill did them with a marked degree of success. It may be well to mention especially his indistinct talent and ability for making short, incisive talks before the student body Pep Meetings. In Bill ' s personality, there was first, this fine seriousness and driving enthusiasm as Cheer Lead- er ; then there was the Bill Story of light-hearted sociability. Full of fun, a jolly good fellow, and, bless his heart, a Ladies Man par excellence. He mixed in the college life with all the ease in the world, and was recognized to be one of the very best in anything from Class Basketball and Base- ball to that most popular sport — Campus Football. To mention again his immense acquaintance and remarkable success with the Ladies would no doubt be quite unnecessary. They all know him, feared him, fell for him.

Earnest and persevering, taking an active interest in many widely diversified phases of college life, his four years here have been well spent. Going out for cross country for the first time in his Junior year he has developed into one of the best distance men ever at Davidson and should do much on the cinder paths this spring.

His consistent good humor and cheerfulness has made for him a host of friends. When the world seems to have gone wrong and the professors re all giving you low grades, then is the time that Jim is really a friend in need as he can always cheer you up by his witty remarks and his words of encouragement. Jim does not neglect any side of college life, and is very proficient along athletic lines. He was a star on the class basketball team. When Jim starts to play his banjo, everybody gathers round, because he sure can get a lot of music out of a ukelele or a banjo. But he does not neglect his studies, as he always gets good grades and stands among the leaders in the class in scholastic rating. Jim is going into business in Springfield, Ten- nessee and we predict that he will have even greater success in business than he had in college, if he remains a true member of the famous Third Floor of East. Hast is East and West is West And never the twain shall meet. Seventy-three i i u Someone once said, though modest, on his un- embarassed brow Nature has written ' Gentle- man ' . He must have been thinking of Steve. Surely Davidson never had a son who more truly showed in all his actions that indefinable some- thing that marks a gentleman. Never overly assuming- or presumptuous, always modest and quiet, and in all portraying that refinement which characterizes a Southern Gentleman — that ' s Steve. Such men always have friends, and when Steve goes forth from his old Alma Mater, there will be an empty place in the hearts of many who have known him. Indeed, to know him is to admire him. and ad- niiiration oftan leads to deep afifecition. This prompts the statement that it ' s a good thing for Stevey that Davidson wasn ' t co-educational. His would-be rivals, in trying to console themselves were simply forced to say with the poet, ' Tis modesty that makes them seem divine ' . Serene, resolute and still And cahn and self-possessed.

It was the most dramatic scene of four years at Davidson. The rain had been falling steadily for hours; the train was late. But a crowd of hundreds of college students waited at the sta- tion, and shouted, and cried, and yelled, and sang O Davidson as Captain Wells brought his cham- pionship Wildcats back to the campus. Four years prior to that this man was an un- known sophomore ; one afternoon he began tearing great gains off the varsity line on the practice field. He was tried out in several varsity en- counters. He was cjuiet and unassuming, but he had the stuff in him. His rise from obscurity has lieen an inspiration to many a sub ; his playing has been coveted by many a star. The world loves a fighter, but the world loves even more a silent fighter who plays the game for the team ' s success.

It is extremely difficult to express in words the real personality of a man or all of the character- istics which go toward the making of a real friend. This difficulty becomes even more impressive when an attempt is made to analyze the factors which have made Frank popular at Davidson and suc- cessful in his college life.

George ' s especial hobbies have been Alath and Physics, his proficiency in the latter course giving him a bid to Sigma Pi Sigma and an assistantship in his Junior and Senior years. Outside of his interest in these two subjects, he has found time to take Uncle Sam ' s R. O. T. C. for four years and also to lend a helping hand in all student body activities. George plans to take up Electrical Engineering after he gets his B. S. from Davidson and he is not lacking in backers who insist that he will some day shock the electrical world.

CLAUDE GETTIER ALLEN New Bern, North Carolina Bachelor of Science in Hconomics i e X Freshman Football: Freshman Basketball; Freshman Baseball; Varsity Football (Three Years). Here is a man that is hard to lind around the campus. Claude doesn ' t say much but when he speaks it is well worth while to listen. He is the kind that makes you think more and more the longer you know them. He seldom strays from the paths of duty, and then only to do some e.xtra work. Although quite busy, Claude found time to go out for football four years. He didn ' t make his letter but he gave all and that ' s what we ad- mire in men. Claude does things silently and when he leaves Davidson and enters the business world we will be surprised if he doesn ' t make a silent success. Woman is man ' s bread of life. .bid O, I iiit ' C already t rown liungrv. Bachelor of in Chc}ii Frank Justice is our diminutive lieutenant who may be seen any Wednesday and Thursday march- ing his little forces of eager militarists in move- ments both complex and complete. His Charles- toning manner of marking time has evinced to his subordinates just how and in what rhythm that function should be performed, and has more than once brought forth criticism from higher war chiefs. Frank didn ' t liave to go off to school because he happened to live in Davidson, but then he knows he wasn ' t handicapped since his home town college has done quite a bit for him as he will declare when he gets that B. S. sheepskin. Frank — shall we call him Zcke which he loves so well — is above all a student, hard working, resourceful, almost the midnight oil kind in fact. Many have been the times that he has shot eftictively even from a front seat, within close range of his tutoring targets. He has won for himself many friends while here and the best wishes of his classmates and other acquaintances go with him as he leaves us. .tniiqiir j ' inj)i)i; r raiio. — Vn;r,ii.. CAREY JOHNSON ' HANSEL Mkb. ne, North Carolina liiichchir of Arts in Philosophy Han has made a name for himself at David- son in more ways than one. On the mats he is well-known and to the envy of many who would become expert wrestlers. He is a hard worker and an all-round good fellow. The better you know him the better you like him. As is the case with many quiet fellows like Han you have to be intimate with him to really appreciate him and know what is in him. In his studies he has main- tained an enviable record. We regret that this is his last year, but we are sure that his sterling merit will win for him the same place wherever he goes that he has held among his friends at Davidson. May he find speedy success in what- ever he undertakes. For all he is and docs is good. — Ten.n ' VSOx. lEighty-two m 3 - - -- . SENIOM CLASS POEM PLEDGE OF 27 JFf pledge to thee, O spirit strong.

II QUIPS C1RANKS JUNIOM CLASS HISTOHY l.iiuii McCla ' nt (C ' OME tliret- years ago tlie Y was con- -- fronted with the man-sized task of wel- eoining the largest Freshman class ever to enter Davidson College. New students lit- erally flooded the campus from all direc- tions, fresh from the prep and high schools of the South, some three hundred of these heterogeneous men passed the receiving line, donned their freshman caps, and began their college career. That was in September, litil. In the three years that liave elapsed the class has gone far in various phases of college life and has demonstrated that it is not only the largest, but one of the most versatile classes ever to attend Davidson. In every campus activity, members of the class of ' 28 have en- tt red and .leciuitted themselves well. During the Freshman year, a splendid start in athletics was made, by putting out winning teams in every sport. These same Freshman athletes have made good in all branelies of varsity sports, the class con- tributing a generous proportion of the col- lege ' s athletes. In football, Arrowood, Ritchie, Laws, Jim Grey, Melton, Harrison, Nisbet, and Dick Grey, won varsity letters. Harrison and Ben Wilson made positions on the basket ball team and were stars, both (luring tjieir S()|)hoiiiore .and Junior years. In baseball, .lohnson, Kugler and Dulin won the coveted D . In track, Penn holds the college record for the two mile run, besides being captain of the cross country team. Jen- nings holds the college record for the pole vault and has tied the state record in that event, and Calhoun has shown marked abil- ity as a high jumper. In John Currie, David- son claims one of the fleetest track men in the south, and he is the only Davidson man ever to run the hundred yards under ten seconds. Mauldin and Carr served on the wrestling and tennis teams respectively. In the winning of the school ' s first state championship in football, the class of ' 28 h;id no small part. In contests against the other members of the State ' s Big Five, Grey and Nisbet scored all of Davidson ' s points except one touchdown, and it was Nisbet ' s touchdown and Grey ' s dropkick that gave Davidson the great 10-0 victory over the University of North Carolina. Dick Grey was a unanimous selection of sport-writers for All-State team and several other men re- ceived mention. Not only in .athletics, however, has the class served the school. It has contributed generously to other activities. Powell has done well in forensic activities. In scholar- ship the class has stood exceptionalU ' well, an unusually large number of men making the coveted Honor Roll. Howard ' s work, especially, has been outstanding, as he has averaged over 98 percent since his entr ' into school; Arbuckle, J. S. (iray, Davidson and Bradford, are others who have made names for themselves as scholars. In Y work, and Dramatic and Glee Club activities, a large number of supporters are found in the Junior class. Some fine talent has been uncovered in journalistic work. Lingle. Martin. Caldwell Withers, and Hancock have been leaders in Davidsonian and Quips and Cranls work, and J. G. Wharton ' s contributions to the Chameleon have won him much favorable comment. As a fitting climax to the .Junior year, the class threw one of the biggest and best Junior Speaking Weeks in the history of the school, under the direction of Boyce Martin, as chairman. The leadershi)) of the el.ass has not been confined to one or two men: the class has had Kighty-six y a number of able leaders. The class officers for the Freshman year were: Foster, presi- dent; Melton, vice-president; Peterson, sec- retary-treasurer. The Sophomore officers were: Nisbet. president; Arrowood, vice- president; Rod McRae, secretary-treasurer. McLain was chosen to lead the class throujj;h the Junior vear; Martin was elected vice- ' UIPS CKANKS president; Dick Carr, secretary-treasui ' er; and Hancock, historian. The class, however, is not content to look back complacently upon these tliree years, but they look forward to the Senior year with determination to make it the best and fullest year they have experienced on the campus of old Davidson.

Who of us dots not remember that fruitful day whereon we each entei-ed the field of high finance by promising to take meals at from ten to fifteen boarding houses? We were at once attracted to the college — it was so nicely labeled. Our initial stop was at the Y. M. C. A. building where we were given a number of trinkets to play with, and herded over to the student store . There they presented us with a type of headgear which was, frankly, rather re- ])ulsive in appearance, but which the gentle- men in charge seemed to think we ought to wear, so just to make a good impression, we did as they suggested. These caps were evidently modeled after those worn by riders in a horse race, and may have been symbol- ical, since the horse race became a reality later on.

Class officers for the Freshman year were: 15ol) Covington, president; Bob Kell, vice- l)rcsident; and John T. Roddy, secretary. W ' c were the first class to have a liaii(|u t our freshman year. Carefully passing over the delirium of Soph Day, we recall that our class broke all previous records for high scholastic averages during the Freshman year. Graham, Mor- iarty, Pritchctt, Kane, Albright, and Gil- uiour were honor men. Our debaters, writ- ers, and musicians acquitted themselves well in their respective lines of work. Our ath- letic teams experienced fairly successful sea- sons in baseball, tennis, and basket ball. Al- though they won onlj- one game, we are |)roud of our football players for the splendid spirit they showed in tackling the hardest Freshman schedule in years, and in turning out full force for the spring practice. So muili for the freshman year. We have learned many things since those days. Gentle arts in which we have attained proficiency are: dressing for chapel in 3j4 minutes; bull- ing when necessary; bulling; reading Sunday paper s on Monday morning; laughing at pro- fessors ' jokes; finessing for the Jack. Since then, too, we have organized, settled down, and taken our place as an important unit in the Davidson Machine. Over half of the jazz orchestra and at least half of the Glee Club are Sophomores. There is no branch of college work in which we are not doing more than our part. The only mem- bers of the class to make varsity letters are: Don Martin .and ,(ohn Ely in Cross-Countrj ' . Ed Wilson joined the class from that of 1928, staying out of school a year, and made his varsity D in football. Class officers for the Sophomore year are: Hob Kell. ))resident; .John T.

Coaches Younger and Tilson found a sorry bunch of material at Davidson in the fall of 1923; they set to work right manfully to de- velop out of it a team, and they had many a reason to think that their w ork would be futile. It was not until their second year that the football team began to show any great form (and the football team is always the standard of judgment for a coach.) That year Davidson came out third in the state championship, losing only two games. The season of 192.5 found Davidson bat- tling for first place with Carolina, and los- ing in one of the state ' s greatest games. The season of 1926 found Davidson with weak material, doubtful material ; out of it Coaches Younger and Tilson moulded an- other fighting machine, one that romped its way to victory through all the North Caro- lina elevens, winning the Championship Cup as victories were scored over Duke Univer- sity, North Carolina State, University of North Carolina and a tie with Wake Forest. Coaches Younger and Tilson came to Da- vidson at the same time that we did. Now we are leaving; it is with great satisfaction, however, that we leave the athletic affairs of Davidson in the hands of these two men- tors — capable, popular, efficient men.

The material for the team, wliich was the first that had been under the Younger-Tilson regime during their entire collegr cartir. showed evidences of nnieli training and a deep knowledge of the fundamentals of the game. All of the games were uphill fights and it was only through efficient coaching and indomitable spirit that enabled the Wild- cats to emerge victorious in North Carolina. Two games were lost during the season, both by compara- tively small scores, however, one game tied, and seven were won. Davidson 2(). Klon In the first g;inie of the sea- son the Elon Christians were defeated on Richardson Field by a count of 2(i to 0. Elon fought desperately throughout the entire g.ime, but were un- .■ilile to eo|)c with the line jdunging of tlu ' b;u ' ks and the excellent work of the line. At the beginning of the game, the Wildcats launched a drive which netted them ;i touch- down within five minutes. Captain Wells, playing his first game as leader, contribut- ed largely to this score. Dur- ing the remainder of this per- iod and throughout the whole second stanza, the Wildcats were held scoreless. After the half, however, the Wildcats came back with renewed spirit 7)«7,- (. ■ • . Ciipt ,ni-KI :iiu scored six points. During the last half two more markers were counted up. A fifth touchdown was made on a fifteen yard run by Cirey. but the Wildcats were offside. Leggette and Captain Wells contributed largely to the success of the Wildcats, while Engleboch and Boch were the shining lights of the Christians. That tlie Presbyterians completely outclassed the visitors is verified by the fact that twenty-one first downs were amassed by Davidson while Elon made only three. Davidson -.M.. Wofford (5 In a rather erratic game at .Spartanburg. S. C the Wild- cats defeated the Wofford Terriers to the tune of 24 to (). On an extremely dusty and drv field, with a sultry sky overhead, it was impossible for either team to play real foot- ball. Fumbles by both teams were frequent, and passes were intercepted freely. Two breaks featured the o|)ening of the game. Wof- ford fumbled on the kickoff, Davidson recovering and mak- ing a touchdown in less than two minutes. Davidson, a lit- tle later, fumbled on her own 1 8-yard line and Wofford scored. The feature of the game came late in the last i|uarter, when Joe McConnell, center on the Wildcat team, in- , J tercepted a Wofford pass and J MT lumbered fifty-five yards for E k .1 touchdown.

C, when Davidson won its third game by a seore of 3 to 0, recalling to mind the same scene three years before when tlie South Carolina Presbyterians were defeated by the same score. Dick Grey furnished the motive power for the pigskin when it sailed through the bars for three points, but his excellent playing was not limited to this one op) or- tunity. Starting off the game with brilliant, whirl- wind methods, the Wildcats crashed through the P. C. one-yard line only to have, the ball change hands. In the second period. Grey booted a neat three points from the nine-yard line to give the Wildcats a small margin. During the second half, the South Caro- nians were the aggressors but failed to push over the necessary three points for a tie. Grey, of Davidson, was the most outstanding star of the game, seconded only by Stamps, of the P. C. outfit. In the line, Pinkney went good for the Wildcats and Captain Griffith, of the Presbyterians, smeared a number of plays of the l);i idson aggrega- tion. Davidson 2( . (iiiilt ' ord Again playing on their home grounds, the Wildcats smeared the Guilford Quakers by the score of 26 to 0, and chalked up their fourth victory of the season. The Davidson team started off with speed and power, which slacked up as the game progressed. In the opening bracket, two touchdowns were scored largely through the aerial route. In the second chukker. Grey came into the game for only a minute to boot a goal from the thirty-one yard line.

State went down in Pinliiii-i Dives at a Carolina Rack defeat by the margin of a field goal. This was the fourth successful dro])kick of (jrey during the year and the fifth game won by the Wildcats. Kicking, however, was only a small part of his work for that afternoon, since his running and tackling was one of the main reasons wh} ' the Wolfpack was unable to score. For three quarters the elevens battled, l)otli scoreless. Several times the Wildcats advanced within striking distance of the Wolfpaek ' s last white line but lacked the final punch to deliver six points. In the fourth quarter, however, after advancing the ball several yards, Grey was called back to his twenty-five yard line for a dropkick. His try was successful and the Wildcats had won a game most important in the race for the championship. Wells, and naturally Dick Grey, were most important in achieving the victory for the Wildcats. Outen, for State, made most of their first downs and con- tributed along other lines towards tlie bril- liant stand of the Wolfpack. Davidson 3, Wake Forest 3 In one of the prettiest exhibitions seen in North Carolina football circles the Wild- cats fought to a 3-3 deadlock before eight thousand spectators at Charlotte in the sixth game of the season. The well- known toe of Dick Grey again came to the forefront in this game, scoring three points early in the second per- iod. It seemed for a b o u t thirty min- utes that victory would place its wreath on the brow of the Presbyter- but in the lat- One hundred thirt 1 i IS !

During the first half, the Wildcats were the leaders in all types of play and the situ- ation was reversed in the second half, the Deacons fighting desperately for their score. Rackley attempted five goals for the Bap- tists, being successful on his last, while Grey tried three for Davidson . The passing of both teams was not up to standard, but the terrific drives of the backfields of the teams was a feature throughout the game. Besides Grey, Ritchie and Pinkney were outstanding for the Wildcats, with Rackley and Ober being the luminaries of the Deacons. Davidson 7, V. M. I. 12 Following the battle at Charlotte, the Da- vidson team journeyed to Lynchburg, Va., to be defeated by the Cadets of Virginia Military Institute 12 to 7. It was the first defeat of the season for the Wildcats and they fought grimly against tremendous odds in weight to keep their record clean. The aerial route was used largely by both teams in garnering their points, Davidson completing two passes of twenty yards each which enabled Leggette to buck it over in the initial period. The Barnes-Nabors com- bination was too much for the Wild- cats along the air line and this was the greatest contri- bution towards the Cadet scoring- in the second quarter. The Wildcats rallied in the last half, advancing to the Cadet two-yard line, but were un- able to put it over.

Davidson had a chance to score when a pass netted them fifteen yards, placing the hall on the Tig- er ' s six-yard marker, but a confused signal resulted in a fumble and a ten-yard loss. The centers of the two teams had a duel, and all their own, which was the feature of the game, both McConnell, Wildcat pivot man, and Dudley, of the Tig- ers, exhibiting an excellent brand of ball. Davidson 10, V. N. C. The Davidson t e a ni become veritable Wildcats as they defeated the strong Univer- o McCounrll sity of North Carolina team on Richardson Field in the big annual Homecoming event. A strong aerial attack as well as brilliant exhibi- tions in other departments of the game enabled the Presbyterians to win over the ancient rivals. Within the first five minutes of play the Wildcats had registered a touciidown and were well on their way to victory. The backfield of the University gained easily over the small Davidson line until their thirty yard line was reached and then the Scotchmen acquitted themselves nobly and thrilled the thousands of spectators by their scrappy fighting. To Pinkney and McConnell, of the Wildcats, go the individual honors of the day, holding their own against the much heavier line of the Tar Heels in various crucial moments. QUIPS CMANKS Davidson 20, Duke While X. C. State was defeating Wake Forest and leaving a cleai ' road to the state championship for the Wildcats, Davidson defeated Duke on tluir home grounds by the score of L ' O to 0. Playing in the last game of the season and with a tith- at stake, the Presbyterians ])ro ed their worth as leaders in the state and finished the season in glorious style. In the first half of the en- counter the Duke goal line was un- touched, but the Wildcats unlinibtr ed in the last half and scored three The first came as the result of a line play, Nisbet going through for the necessary six points. Only a little later, Grey chalked up another marker with a pret- ty 37-yard run after he had received a punt. The final tally came when Mitchell, a guard, intercepted a Duke pass and raced fifteen Black yards for the last score of the Da- vidson team during the 1926 season. An attem])ted dropkick by Grey. from the 1 ' 7-yard line, which struck till- side of the goal post, missing thrir ))oints only by inches, was one of tlie prettiest plays of the game, (irey, McConnell, and Ritchie did noble work for the Wildcats while Captain Thompson and Brummit were outstanding for the Blue Devils. That the individual playing of the v.n-ious members of the team as well .is the whole work of the squad was ajjpreciated throughout the state was evidenced by the fact that three Davidson men were placed on the mythical All-State team. Those thus honor- ed were Grey, Bohannon, and Boggs. Every man on the first team was also mentioned by one or more pickers in the selection of teams representative of the whole state.

Threatening clouds hung low over the pre- sentation exercises in the morning, and caus- ed many an onlooker at the battalion drill on Richardson Field to wonder over the af- ternoon ' s play. Following a review the bat- talion passed into a section reserved for them in the stadium, and listened with hundreds of students and alumni and friends to the formal programme. Owing to the inability of tlie donors of tlie stadium, H. S. and L. Richardson, to attend, J. X. Hendrix, also of Greensboro, read a let- ter of presentation in which the donors ex- pressed their realization of the need of Da- vidson for some sort of permanent stands for the athletic contests held on the Hill. .. iu .• ?te,.-v Davidson stands go wdd as llddcats score first touchdoicn : t= t= ' := ' :: f i i f := f - One hundred thirty-four QUEPS CKAMKS y y y I I n y y I y y y y y y y !!

Following the official acceptance by Dr. W. J. Marti n, president of the college, and a prayer by Dr. C. M. Richards, the main address of the day was delivered by Dr. A. A. McGeachy, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, N. C. And then came lunch, and a hasty assemblage again on Richardson Field, and the game of thrills. Grey kicked off to the Carolina team, booting the ball to the 19-yar(l line from which McDaniel r turiir(l to Carolina ' s 27-yard line. Tiie big Tar Heels made a couple of unsuc- cessful jabs at the Wildcat line anil kicked. Grey catching the ball on Davidson ' s forty-five yard line, and twisting his way into Carolina ' s territory to their 44 ' -yard line. Wilson ' s far-famed underhand pass went good for 16 yards to Captain Wells. Grey was stopped for a two-yard gain over the line and the next pass was grounded. Once again Davidson resorted to the air, Bohannon grab- bing another of W ilson ' s passes for a ten- yard gain. The crowd was growing wilder than ever, but enthusiasm began to dwindle wiieii two line plays gained only as many vards, only to rise again to the heights as Captain Wells grabbed an eleven-yard pass off the ground and placed the ball on tlie Tar Heels ' six-yard line. Davidson dug two yards out of Carolina ' s line on the next two plays, and then Mutt Nisbett plowed over right tackle for the first Wildcat touchdown against Carolina in many a year. Grey booted the extra point. Again in the third quarter Dick sent the oval through the bars, following a recovery of a Carolina fumble by a Davidson linesman and a pass to Bohannon for twelve yards. After the next kick-off, the Tar Heels staged a strong comeback but could gain little when in Davidson territory. Coach Collins rushed in several new backfield nun in a vain attempt to find a winning combination, but Monk Younger, head Davidson men- tor, countered by putting some of his lust defensive men in the game. For the remainder of the half the ball see-sawed back and forth near the middle of the field with Ellison and (irey engaging in a punting duel with the honors about even. During the rest period, a number of Carolina students and alumni took the field and gave a parade. The Tar Heel band played the Alma ; Stiiri Maters of both schools and then the J ' arsily Cheer newly formed Crazy Cats, of Da- Leader vidson, took the center of attention. The R. O. T. C. band struck up the songs of the rival institutions and the Cats formed a D just before time for the renewal of hostilities. The first of the second half was much like the first two periods. Carolina held the edge in ground-gaining when in their own territory and about the -iO-yard line of the Wildcats, but found the Davidson line im- pregnable when the Red and Black goal line was threatened. After the field goal, the Tar Heels tried several passes but succeeded in completing only one of the number. Mc- Pherson, star University track man, got off some pretty runs of ten and twelve yards but could not break loose for a wild dash across the goal as he had done so many times during the season. In trying to pick the stars for the fray, even a close observer of the game is at sea. But certainly credit and plenty of it, too, siiould go to Wilson, Davidson quarter, who hundred thirty-fiv f y y y y y y y y li i i 1 ii II li y y y y QU S CMANKSI f 4= (4=:: ic: (= 4(zr :=r:( ( - ( ( ( c (3:= completely outguessed the Carolina backs by instituting a passing game at the start. Wilson not only direct ed the team well, hut also tackled fiercer than ever hefore. And to Nishet and (irey. Davidson ' s poinl- makers, many lines could he writ- ten. Nisbet has always been one of the hardest driving and surest tack- ling backs in the state and he dis played all his wares that memorable Saturday. Grey ' s toe refused to be stopped and he added another field goal to his already strong string. In the line, we find an even hard Mclhc er job, but McConnell and Pinkney seemed to run wild when a Tar Heel was in their neighborhood. Ritchie and Boggs were ileadly and sure tacklers and thereby added their names to the hall of fame. For the boys from Chapel Hill, Schwartz, at center, Warren, tackle, and McPherson and Terrill in the baekfield were es- peei.illy brilliant. But after nam- ing .all these men. it would be un- f.iir not to add the names of every Mi.ni who entered the game, for each one of thein played excellent ball. The shrill bl.ast of the referee ' s whistle h .a il sc ' arcely marked the finish of one of Davidson ' s greatest (ootli.ill games when the old college IhII began to joyfully announce the success of the Wildcats to the coun- tryside. Tears of joy were on the f.aces of thousands of the Davidson ' supporters — fans who had journey- ed to Chapel Hill the year before to see Davidson lose after a terrific fight, fans who had seen Carolina snatch the 1924 game from the Wildcats after fifty-nine min- utes of scoreless playing, and a few fans who had seen Davidson tie Carolina at Win- ston-Salem in 1921 after beating them in 1920.

Frequent fumbles, due to the rain, prevented good football, but Hunt, Matthews, Hampton and Mc- Connell showed signs of future stars. Furman scored in the first few min- utes of play by blocking a ))unt. This score served as a tonic to the Kittens and from then on the play was carried on in F ' urman ' s terri- tory. Blocking punts, intercepting 1 1 am mitt passis, fumbling and recovering, the David- son team pushed nearer the Furman lines. Here, after several unsuccessful attempts, Matthews carried the ball over for the first score of his team that season. Hammitt ' s try for extra point was good and proved to be the wining score of the game. The play- ing of Hampton at left end was the outstand- ing feature of the game from the Davidson standpoint. Several times he dro])ped b.ick and punted his team out of danger. Using wide end runs and numerous trick plays, the Blue Ridge Cadets defeated the Davidson Freshmen 20-8 at Hendersonville. The Kittens seemed unable to stop the con- sistent gaining of tlie Blue Ridge boys, who drove through the line and circled the ends with apparent ease. In the third quartei the Freshmen showed a flash of brilliance and played the Cadets off their feet but were able to score only one touchdown. Again, Matthews was the one to carry the ball over, but the try for extra point failed. The other Davidson score came as a result of a bad pass from the Blue Ridge center to his full-back who was tackled behind his goal j)osts while in the act of ])unt- ing. Except for this spurt the Ju- nior Wildcats were outclassed by the scrapping Cadet team. The Duke Yearlings gave the Da- vidson Fresh their worst defeat of tile se.ison when they passed their way to a 2(5-0 victory on Richardson Field. The Wildkittens were help- less against the bewildering aerial attack of the Imps, allowing many to be completed when success meant a touchdown. The scoring of the game was done in the first half, the Davidson team coming back in the second period to hold the visitors scoreless.

Goodwin was the outstanding ground- gainer for Davidson, man} ' times ripping off good gains but to no avail. Hunt and Hamp- ton were the outstanding linesmen, and it was due largely to their work that the Imps were held scoreless during the second period. Outclassed in every department of the game, the Freshmen lost a hard fought game to the State Wolflets. 13-0, at Raleigh. Again aerial attack played havoc with the David- son team for both touchdowns were results of passes. For the Kittens, Matthews and Christian were the outstanding ground-gain ers with Hunt carrying off the honors in the line. Showing real form, the Freshmen their season with an exciting victorv the P. C. Freshmen 32-13. Matthews was the star of the game, scoring four of the five touchdowns made by Davidson. He was aided by splendid work from Brohard, Reynolds and Hammitt in the backfield, and Hunt, Carson and McConnell in the line. Kugler at quarter ran the team in a credit- able manner while the entire team aided in the victory. The following Freshmen received their monograms, D. C, for good work on the gridiron: Ends, K.

Bohannon was awarded the Norris Athletie Trophy for the -ear 1926- 27. This came as a result of tlie final bal- lot in the student body whieh had been cast .1 lew days before. In the first ballot three men were selec ' ted. tiiese being Bohannon. ( ' . W. Harrison, and Dick Grey. On the next ballot Grey was eliminated, and on the final ballot Bohannon won over Harrison. Bo has made an excellent record on the Wildcat football .squad, having made his letter for three years. Hi.s general knowl- edge of football and his serappiness is shown by the fact that for a time during the 192() .season Bo was changed from his regular position at end to tackle. Coming back to end, however, when Lincoln recovered, Bo- hannon was selected on the composite all- state eleven. During the 1926 season he made his letter heaving the weights and is well nn Ills way to another letter as the an- iiu.-il gors to press. The presentation of the Norris Tro])hy on . thletie Night has now become an annual I t nt at Davidson. Besides the awarding of tlir tniphy itself on this night, football. Iiasketb.ill. and wrestling certificates are presented. .Several speakers also contribute to the jirogr.-iiii and the whole night is dedi- cated to the athletic teams and their repre- sentatives here at Davidson. Gold footballs were also given to the wearers of the mole- skin, and several loyal supporters were also ))resented with this emblem; among those be- ing thus honored were W. W. Flowe, of Con- cord, Dr. Oren Moore, of Charlotte, Mr. Hugh A. Query, of Gastonia, and Dr. .1. M. Douglas, of Davidson. Incidentally Bohannon was also president of the Athletic Association, member of Omi- eron Delta Kap))a and Omega Phi Al))ha honor.iry fraternities and of Kap))a Alpha social fraternity. The 1926-27 trophy is the third that has been presented to Davidson athletes by Nor- ris, Inc., of Atlanta, Ga. G. F. Laird, ' 26, was the first to be honored, winning the cup for the year 1923-24. No cup was pr esented in 192.5, but in 1926 H. L. Vance was voted the man who had rendered the most meritor- ious service to Davidson in athletics. A dif- ferent cup is given each year, the trophy becoming the permanent posession of the man who wins it.

The siason startt ' d with a series of thrilling, well-|)layed g.-unes, hnt slowed down somewhat toward the last when the team lost regularly by scores which were heart-breakingly close. In a whirlwind finish, however, Duke was defeated in the final game here and this atoned somewhat for the various losses endured during the season. The season was opined with the customary games with the Y. M. C. A.s in the vicinity. S;ilisbury was defeated here by .1 one-jioint margin. 3.

Salisbury was met again on its home floor and the Y eagers reciprocated by defeating the Wild- cats by a single point margin. In these games McAuley and Cal- houn broke into the var- sity line-up and showed great promises of valu- ' z. able service during the rest of the comin ' sea- } % ( ' a plain Atidcr.soti Union Seminary was met in the first colle- giate encounter of the year and was licked rath- er smiunarily, being on the lower end of a t2 to 1 (i score. The Davidson team, however, played rather poorly throughout the entire contest. In the next game, three days later, the Wofford Ter- riers met defeat by tlie score of 50 to 3 1. The work of Harrison and Simpson was instru- uuntal in the Davidson victory. In the tliird collegiate game, Elon was sent back home suffering from the effects of a doubled score. 3() to IS. The defense of the Chris- ti.ms was strong but Davidson excelled in the (le]).irtnient of basket ringing. Tlie lu)i)es for any state-wide recognition such as had been evident in the preceding football season, were smashed utterly when the Wildcats went on their state trip. In Haleigh, Davidson was unable to stop the flashy offense of the N. C. State team and were defeated 32 to 20. Captain Anderson was high point man for the Wildcats. On the following night the Duke Blue Devils took the Presbyterians into camp by the score of 39 to 2 k Ca])tain Anderson was again high ])oint man for the Wildcats, but all to no avail.

Wilson was the outstanding star of the Wild- cats, equalling and surpassing the famous Newcomb of the Monograms. The Soutli Carolina trip was no success as far as games won was concerned but some of the best basket ball of the year was shown in some of the contests. In the first the Paris Island Marines defeated the Wildcats 20 to 18. The College of Charleston was defeated tile next night, however, by the score of 35 to 29. Citadel defeated the Wildcats in the next two games by the scores of H to 30 and 10 to 30. In Columbia tlie Wildcats met with no more success than liad been evidenced before on the trip and South Carolina emerged the victor by the score of 31. to 29. The Wild- cats were scrappy throughout, but were un- able to ring enough counters to overcome the lead of the Gamecocks. Captain Anderson was again the high point man, making the counting bell ring for thirteen points. The final game of the season played on the home floor was a fitting close for any season.

Captain Ander- son, Simpson, a n d es- pecially Hudgins, play- ing their last game for the Wildcats, shone bril- liantly and finished their careers amid the pleased sliouting of excited supporters. It is quite necessary that the season be called a success, even from an impartial viewpoint. In the collegiate contests, seven games were won and five lost. Without ex- ception, the games lost were to teams of more than ordinary calibre and were usually rather tight scores. That over-worked phrase, The Fighting Spirit, can alone serve to describe the most outstanding characteristic of the basketeers for the 1927 sea- son. A feature in all of the games was the playing of Captain Anderson, who also was mentioned in a num- ber of All-State picks and in the composite pick was placed on the second team. For the third season his high scoring was noticeable in every game. Wilson, playing at center, was a tower of strength on the defense. In Harrison, the team possessed one of the fastest floor guards in the st.iti ' . and also an ex- cellent man on long shots at the ' II ml f ill .s b.asket. McAuley and f ' .illioun, sharing the other forward with An- derson, were second and third in the scoring, i;u!i counting up over a liun- circd ])oints during tlif year. .Simpson .ind Hud- gins. tlu ' other guards, were strong defensive 111(11. .111(1 Crawford saw iiiueh aliiablc service as ;i reserve.

His fresh- man 3 ' ear he was the regid.ir center on the last basketball team that Coach Clarence Rawson put out. Since that time he has been varsity center. His ability to get the tip on i)r;ictically all his opponents has made ids playing of unusual importance.

At the same time, Charlie Car- son, of Bristol, Tennessee, was elected manager for the coming year. Carson, along with Boyce Martin, served throughout the past season as junior manager. Carson will suc- ceed Mason Carroll, who ably man- aged the team throughout the 1926- 27 season. George Batte was of great assistance to the coaches in managing the freshman team and helping out with the varsity.

Out of a total of 1 (i games played the Cats liad eight on their side of the ledger. Two of tlie games lost went to teams that were not college aggregations. March 18 formally opened the season, Da- vidson encountering the Quantico Marines. Although the Leathernecks won by a T-l score, yet the Wildcats showed their hitting ])ower with many clean bingles, among which was a homer bj ' Captain Alford. In the next game Oak Ridge Institute was taken into camp to the tune of 19-13. As the score shows, both teams pounded the agate hard. Next on the card was Dartmouth ( ' olleg( . but much to the disappointment of the stu- dent body Jupiter Pluvius intervened, and the game was called off. Then on April 2 Lenoir-Hliync College « .IS vanquished 6-5 in one of the best games on the schedule. Moose, star twirler for the Mountain Bears, held Davidson scoreless until the eighth bracket when the Cats launched a barrage of hits to gather in six tallies. The University of North Carolina was met on Easter Monday in Salisbury, and the Wildcats turned back their old rival with tlie small end of a 9-8 score. A ninth in- ning rally by the Tar Heels fell short by one run.

The Davidson team was far off its stride and played a miserable brand of ball. This game was ])layed in Greensboro. Getting back to tluir old form, the Wild- cats walked over N. C. State in two straight games in as many days. The first one was staged on the bomr lot, and ended with a 10-S score, and in the second, staged in (iastonia. the Davidson boys smothered them 1 1-2. The first game of the South Carolina trij) was with Furman University. This scrap was annexed by the South Carolinians, 10 to 3.

With the most compre- hensive schedule ;i n d the worst team of recent years, Davidson ingloriously play- id through a score of pseu- do-baseball games during the season of 11127. Glimpses at the score book recall memories of two years ago when the fighting Wildcats won only two contests in the entire season. But that year, bad breaks, coupled with a series of misfortunes, served as sufficient alibics. 1927 — not so — , Tw(, Mninstaij Davidson opened the season by playing prep school ball with a prep school — Oak Ridge. With Wells in the box for the first game, we were lucky enough to pry off the lid of H)27 with a win.

In the Duke engagement three days later, the Blue Devils out home- ran the Wildcats for a 10 to 5 decision. One other win was earned before the Southern trip the second week of April. That was gained from the Charlotte Road Club, a semi-pro or- ganization of the Queen City. The journey south proved disastrous.

The team presented an array of heavy hitters who in practically every game collected a goodly number of bingles, but the fielding was weak in several positions. Tliis latter fact, combined with the seeming inability of the pitchers to strike their best form, pr(ibal)ly accounts for the record of a team which should have made a better record, only succeeded in breaking even in games won and lost. To start the season three games were played with prep school teams and of these two were won and one was lost, (jastonia High School rallied strongly in the ninth inning of the sea.son opener and succeeded in winning 11-7. The hitting of lioth clubs was heavy but (jastonia ' s counted most. Timely hitting combined with McClure ' s work in the bo.x gave the Kittens a win over the Blue Ridge Hilltoppers. McChirc fanned twelve of tlic visiting batsmen and was in his best form of the year. In the last game before the state x i Lowell Highs were compelled to take the small end of a 9-8 score. After trailing for the greater part of the game the Freshmen staged successive rallies and finally nosed out with a win. On the state trip the team won a thrilling gaiue from Carolina and dropped close contests to Wake Forest, State and Duke. The Wake Forest affair was lost due to the bUi)erior willow work of the Baby Deacons. Harper contributed several spec- tacular catches in right field for Davidson. With the score 4-0 against them in the eighth inning, the Kittens unleashed a batting attack that could not be stopped and won from Carolina by counting four times in the eighth and three in the ninth. Murray ' s homer with the bases choked and a triple play featuring Littlejohn looked good for Davidson. The last two games of the trip were similar. State and Duke mauled the pill when knocks meint tallies, and came out above the Kittens by 13-8 and 10-7 scores. A feature of the whole trip was the pitching of Meadows, who did valuable work on three straight days. In a rather ragged but interesting game the team obtained its revenge on State, winning 10-9. With the .score 9-7 against them in the last half of the ninth, the Freshmen scored 3 runs via hits by Ratchford. Adams and James, and showed the scattered spectators a real ildcat rally. McClurc went all the way on the mound and pitched steady ball. Monroe High School fell before the team a day later by a lop-sided score of 11-1. In the last game of the season the Wake Forest Fresh put a decisive crimp in any State Champion- ship aspirations the Kittens might have had by pounding out a 10-7 vcitory. Loose fielding and the lack of the final pimch were responsible for Davidson ' s defeat.

The fact that this record li.id stood thirty years brings additional honor to this vaulter. The Wildcats opened the season at the county fair grounds at Spartanburg by scor- ing an overwhelming victory over Wofford. 89 to 37. Captain Anderson, with 1 (i (joints. led his team to the victory which includtd eleven out of a possible fourteen first places. It was in this meet that Goodykoontz started his scoring streak by placing first in the only two events he entered, the century and two -twenty dashes. Bohannon, in the field excnts. turned in a first and two seconds for a total of eleven points to take second scor- ing honor. The team as a whole was on its mettle, functioning smoothly and amassing a l.argi- tally. The following Saturday the Davidson cin- der artists opened their home season, losing to the University of North Carolina 82 1 2 to -iS 1 2. The meet will always be remem- bered for the running of (joodykoontz and Penn. This was when both stepi)e(l out and broke the college records in the century, two- twenty, and two-mile events. Goodykoontz also entered the four-forty and notwithstand- ing a bad start took second place. His time for this event was only 2 5 of a second slow- er than the college record, and had it not been for the bad start, his chance to estab- lish a new record was exceptionally good. With these first places Tie was easily high ))oint man of the match. The record-break- ing fever then possessed Penn, who ran a beautiful race to set a new college record of 10 minutes 2 5 seconds in the two-mile jaunt.

The meet ended in a sweep- ing victory for the Wildcats, 87 to 39. Taking ten out of the possible fourteen first places, ten seconds and seven thirds, the entire team made the best showing of the year.

Goodykoontz won the four-forty, took a second in tlic two-twenty and a third in the cen- tury for the total of eleven points. The other Davidson men to place were D. M. Calhoun who tied for .second in the high jump; R. C. Cal- lioun, fifth in the same event; and Penn fourth in the two-mile run. The leg injury sustained by Penn earlier in the sea- son handicapped him to such an extent that lie was unable to turn in his usual fast time. The time of the winner in this event (. ' Captain lod jil ' ooniz slower than the record of Davidson set by Penn some weeks before. So far as actual scores and the outcome of the meets are considered, the results might be classified as mediocre, but when the breaking of four college records in a single sea- son is considered as a criterion, the season can be appropriately termed successful. The Wildcat trackmen broke even on the 1927 season as far as meets won and lost were concerned, but with John Currie running the hun- dred in 9:7-10 and the two-twenty in 21 8-10 seconds, and Leftwich putting the shot for 39 feet 9 inches, the breaking of records will stand out more conspicuously than anytliing else.

In Kell and Flynn it had two outstanding dash men, while Leftwich did well in the weights, Regcn hurled the javelin with skill, Ely showed up as a fast man in the mile event. Frye was a fast man on the hurdles and Frye and Bailey were also good in the pole-vault. The Fresh team hrd one or two good men in almost every event, hut it had nothing ti) hack them up with. In this fact and in the inexperience of several of the hest men lay the greatest weakness of the Fresh team. Before the Wildkitten squad had been definitely chosen, a practice meet was held with the Char- lotte High School track team. The Chrrlotte appregation proved to be the stronger of the two and the Vtildkittens were beaten 51-46. Kell starred for Davidson in the 440-yard event. Three days after the Wildkitten squad was finally chosen the Fresh track season was officially opened with the State High School Invitation Track Meet held at Davidson. The Wildkittens entered the meet, but not as contenders for the silver loving cup offered as first prize. This time the Kittens showed improvement over their pre- ious performance, but Charlotte copped first lionors with a total of 45 1 2 points, while the Kittens had to be satisfied with a score of 44 and second place in the meet. Kell tied with Homey and Brown of Greensboro High for individual scores, each having captured ten points. The loss to Charlotte High evidently made the Wildkittens wild, for in their ne.xt meet they romped on Catawba College to the tune of 88-20. In fact, Catawba never had a chance for the Kittens captured all but two first places and made a clean sweep of all the second places. Kell cap- tured IS points while Flynn ran him a close race with 16 points to his credit. The last meet on the schedule was the State Meet at Raleigh. Coach Tilson picked out Kell, Flynn, Ely, Regen and Frye as the men most likely to score in a State Meet and hustled off with them to the State Capitol. To show that Coach ' s confidence had not been misplaced, all except Regen placed in the final tryouts and these Cive men succeeded in capturing for Davidson the fourth place in the meet. The teams entered in the meet placed as follows : State, Duke, Carolina, Davidson, Catawba and Elon. The following men were awarded Freshman Xunierals ; Kell, Flynn. Ely, Regen, Frye, Bailey, l eftwich. Smith and Williams.

Captain Frier- son, star of the team, kept up his undefeated record, being held to a draw only in one match. This kept up his three-year record of being undefeated in any bout. This is a record which is indeed notable, considering some of the strong teams that the Wildcats have met. In tlir first meet of tile year, the Conconl Y team was easily defeated by the score of . ' iO to in Concord. This match was featured i)y sever.il falls and superiority of the Davidson team was easily established. In the first collegiate match, the matnun from N. C. State took the count of the Dax- idson men by the score of 1.5 to 11. David- son started out in great style, winning three out of the first four match es, but later weight began to tell against the light Wildcats as heavier men from State came into the fore- front. State won the last three matches on falls, but the result of the meet was in doubt until the culmination of the unlimited bout when T.amb of State threw Vance of David- son to establish Techmen. In the next match, the Concord Y team was defeated by the reserves of the Davidson team 33 to 0. The scrubs from Davidson piled 111) larger score than the varsity and won their matches just as handily. ' I ' lie Wildcat matmen went to West Point to he defeated by the Army grapplers by the score of 15 to 6. There was not a single fall in any of the bouts, and the Davidson nun, although slated to be defeated by a nuich larger score, worked valiantly to keep the score down. Frierson and Estridge gain- ed time advan tages over their two oppon- ents to make the six points which Davidson garnered in the match. Garrison and Hill both wrestled far out of their weight but ]irevented their opponents from gaining more tiian three points each by keeping their shoulders off the mat. Flythe, Davis, and Crinkley lost their matches by small time advantages. In the third inter-collegiate match of the year, V. P. I. won over the Davidson wrestl- ers by the score of 131 2 to 71 . The match was even throughout until the last two clas- ses when the Virginia Techmen took both the 17.5-pound and the unlimited matches. Again there were no falls in the meet, all matches being won by time advantage only. Frierson ' s match was the main bout of the evening when he defeated Ford, a man who had previously won over grapplers from ev- ery large institution in Virginia. In another fall-less meet, the matmen from Duke defeated the Davidson team by the score of 15 to (i. The two heavyweight bouts were the most exciting and interesting. Gar- rison, again wrestling in the 175-pound class and outweighed 30 pounds put up a scrappy match and lost only by a very small time advantage. Hill, in the unlimited class was outweighed even more, his man having a 35 ))ound advantage on him. But he too, held his o))i)onent to a time advantage and saved two points by not being thrown by this heav- ier o))]ionent. Frierson was held to a draw in this meet, the only time during his college career that he did not defeat his man. Fh-- the won his match easily in the 128-pound class, having a time advantage of over seven minutes on his opponent. v=- - }. --n, — rrZ QUIPS 6CHANKS y li y y y i y y y y I y y y y I y y y y i y i }i In tlic last meet of tlif .stason, the Uni- versity of North Carolina defeated Davidson 20 to 3. Frierson won his match for the only counters to the credit of Davidson. Gar- rison again featured in his bout with his op- ponent, who had not been defeated this year. Garrison was outweighed, this time by over 26 pounds, but he managed to give his man a hard fight and several times during the match seemed as if he would win over the Carolina man. On the trij) back from Chapel Hill, Garrison was chosen to lead the grap- jilcrs during the season of 1928. As a whole the season was rather disap- jjointing, but there was much new material developed and on the whole, the team showed a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of the sport. Four men will be lost by grad- uation. Captain Frierson. Davis, Crinkley, and Estridge. This will weaken the team somewhat, but there are a number of re- serves who have great capabilities and will be developed before next season. THE SCHEDULE Davidson iO; C.nconl V Davidson 11 ; N. C.

Wood Brown, Jimmy McAlpine and Mac Aiistin, the latter alternate and manager, were (U ' eloped, in order named, as Davidson ' s iinest. In the first meet, with the University of South Carolina held here, the Wildcat netmen were victors liy a four U t n score, due to the fact that Brown and Alc.Mpine lost their doubles match and McAli)ine his single. ' The meet with Wofford. to have heen the lirsl on the team ' s .Suuthern trip, was r. ined out. Then, in Atlanta, the Da idson raci|uetters lost l)y a four to two score to (ieorgia Tech., the latter having one of the strongest teams in the South. In this meet Dick Carr, who rose from last year ' s I ' reshmen team, made a lirilliant come-back ag: inst Alcrry of Tech. when he rallied to win six straight games and the set, after Merry had taken the Hrst at seven to live and had the second at live to one. Carr then took the match with a seven to live decision for the last set. The com- bination of McCutchcon and Carr, the former exhibiting terrific overhead drives and the latter team play to a sujierior degree, easily overcame .Merry .■md (Irant, with six to four, two to six, six to three the results. I ' la ing their second opijonents of the trip Davidson won from Clemson with a .score of foui to two. McCutchcon and Carr each disposed of his single match with case: and together met meager opposition in the doubles. However, after :: bard light. Brown and McAlpine lost at doubles. Journeying thence to Columbia, Davidson met the University of South Carolina in a return contest, again w ' inning by a four to two decision. Captain McCutchcon, though, lost to South Caro- lina ' s ace, Wilson, the same who administered him d.-fcat at Davidson. Carr also lost his match. Hut Brown and McAlpine, playing their best tennis of the season, won their single and double matches. Back at Davidson, the team, which had emerged so well from its Southern tour, played poor liall and shared a three to three tie with Wofford. The St; te Tournament was then entered. In the singles the Wildcats played wonderful ball although it was not fated for them to be crowned victors. McCutchcon. due to unfortunate circum- stances, met in the lirst round Whitner of Duke, former state champion, by whom he was van- quished. Brown and McAlpine each reached the third round while Carr, advancing to the semi- linals, was put out of the running by Rogger of Duke. In the tourn: ment doubles a couple of Wild- cats, by names McCutchcon and Carr, emerged with the laurels, as had Price and McCutchcon the year before, by giving defeat in the hnals to the Duke duo of Whitner and Rogger. Throughout the tournament the champions played remarkable tennis, not dropping a set. - lthnugh at the beginning of the tennis season prospects did not : ppear very bright due to the return of only one letter man. the end of the sea- son showed that almost phenomenal progress had been made, individual varsity timber not only being developed from raw material, but also there was developed and obtained excellent spirit and team work with these individual stars, culminating in the best college doubles team in Xorth Caro- lina.

This was the second year that Mc- Cutchen and Carr have won the championship and the third successive year that Davidson has won the douliles tournament, bringing the cup into the Wildcats ' permanent possession. At this meet John T. Roddy showed his real ability by fighting his way to the final singles match, only to lose to the champion, Whisnat, of Duke University. Leaving from Chapel Hill the Davidson team invaded the North with great success, defeating (_ ornell l-niversity 5 to 1 on April 30 and winning from Colgate University S to 1 on May 2.

Notwithstanding the fact tliat all meets were held away from the college the runners, under the alile guidance of Captain Clement Penn, gave their utniost in every meet for the sake of their . lma Mater; and, with the completion of their .service during the fall rive men, Captain Penn. Ely. .Martin, Treverton and Webb, were honored with the coveted Ds, emlilems littingly adorned with the wings of Mercury. The Wildcats were defeated by N. C. State in their first meet 40-15 held at Raleigh, North Carolina. The alisence of Penn. mainstay of the team, who was out due to injuries, badly crippled the team. in the season ' s second meet against Wofford, 38-17, in Spartanburg. South Carolina. They displayed their best form at this meet, placing lirst, second, fifth and sixth, allowing only the fourth position to be captured by a Wofford man. Captain Moore. L ' p against their last opposition of the season in Duke at Durham on Thanksgiving Day the Davidson team, though slightly rjutclassed, put up a game fight but lost by a small margin. Captain Penn ran a spectacular race, a close second place being his best though. Other Wildcat places taken were fifth and sixth. Reviewing the season as a whole, we can see it has been a successful one indeed. Starting prac- tice with new material the team soon set a good pace which was maintained throughout the entire fall. Although there will be suffered the loss of Treverton and Webb, a three man nucleus, to be composed of Ely, Penn and Martin, will be the hopes for ne.xt year ' s team, again to be counted nn to bring back more laurels for old Davidson. One Inmilrwl sixt QUIPS CHANKS GOLF TEAM l ' ' (ir the first time in its history, the Davidson niilf team has broadened into an extensive sche- (hile with teams representing other colleges. Here- tofore, only country club teams and various city teams have been met due to the fact that David- son has the only college golf team an.wvhcre in this vicinity. This year, however, matches have been arranged with C.eorgia Tech, Alabama and (jeorgia and |ih ns for meets with Oglethorpe and Emory are being formulated as the annual goes to press. All of these matches will be held in the spring, and ])robably most of them will be played over the Charlotte Country Cluli course. If all of the tentative plans for matches with other schools are completely worked out and realized, it is highly probal le that golf will obtain greater : nd wider recognition on the Hill than it has held be- fore. During the fall, only two matches were played, both of these against the Statcsville Country Club. In the brst match, played at Statesville, Davidson was victorious by a score of 13 to 5, playing a i ve man team. In the next match, played at Davidson, Statesville brought down only four men but defeated the Wildcats on their home course, 9 to 7. In the annual school tournament, held in the fall, McGill and Wolfe met in the linals only to end thirty-six holes all square, JNIcGill shooting a 68 and Wolfe a (fK on the last eighteen. This match has never been ctmipleted as the number one man on the team is as yet undecided.

Contrary to usual standards, the Class of ' 29 brought up the rear of the colunni. Ordinarily, the Sophs, having played together the previous year, win the tourney. How- ever, this year they were unable to get started and thus the precedent was broken down. ' l he season opened with the Seniors rompiuf; on the Sophs to the tune of 22-S. Then fnUowed a decisive victory for the Juniors over the Fresh- men. After these two opening games, it was just a nip-and-tuck affair between the ' two upper classes, the Juniors finally winning out. The Sophs and Freshmen were clearly out of the running but they stayed in the tight to the bitter end. The third game was the deciding game of the series, when the Juniors defeated the Seniors 19-14. Later the Freshmen completely eliminated the Seniors by a 21-16 win. In the final tabulation, the Juniors had an un- blemished record while the Seniors had only two defeats handed them by the Juniors and Freshmen to mar the record. On the other hand, the Fresh- men had only two victories, and the Sophs were unable to break into the win column at all.

But Roddey turned the tahles on him in the match plajed on the David- son courts, defeating him in straight sets. Those receiving hreshman innni. grams in leimis were: R.id ley. I ' .radley.

He was, certainly for our four ye.-irs at Davidson, the peerless le.-ider — a man who looked as well iti defe.it as most ruin do in vietorv. There wi-re some su|)erb moments our freshm.m year — old l ' oi)sy Hunt kicking that field gord in the final minute of ]il.iy ,ig;iinst Presbyterian CoUege; that wonderful game ot b.isket b.all .against Cirolin.a down in rharlotte; (iracey ' s work on the track; C ' a))- tain Cromartie going to semi-fin;ds in tin- Olyuipie trials .after winning over e ervthing in the south. It w,as in the fall of our so|)houiore ve.ir th.it footb.all came into its own at D.avidson —that last half r.dly in . sheville; th.it bril- liant comeback in I ' inehurst; two last touch- downs against old Trinity; and those sad mo- ments when Hackney booted the b.ill over to lit .it the Wildcats on Richardson I ' ield. Basket ball w.as good that season: David- son ;$(). (ieorgia Tech 27; Davidson Kl, ' . 1 ' . I. 2!); Davidson victors over Duke three times; and that little epigram we wrote for The Davidsonian, Last to Trim Trinity. First to Down Duke. The same year saw Frierson begin his work on the mat and C ' urrie and (ioody- koontz sped along right merrily on the tr.ack - -more of which came in Later years. Our junior year came in with .i great bunch of fine material down on the football field; the race for the cham|)ionshi)i started right well when Davidson broke the Dea- cons ' heart down in Ch.irlotte with that siven-seven tie. Hendrix delighted every- one by returning, and football affairs went right well till D.ax idson met her jinx on Knierson Field — brill i.-int end runs, daring r.allies — .all were futile, and another champ- ionshi]) went glimmering — although David- son did ice it over well with a 2()-() victory over Duke. We can ' t s.iy much for baseball save for those two victories over Carolina — in Gas- tonia tuir fresh year, in .Salisbury our ju- nior year. (joodykoontz accjuittcd himself X cry nicely that semester by establishing two college records in the hundred and 220, while Clement Penn kejjt breaking the two-mile time. We ' ve ;i whole section about the football team ' s work our senior year: Two things live with us — that touchdown against Caro- lina, that triumphical return from Duke with the crowds cheering in the rain. Two things and yet — well, we can ' t forget that half a yard we needed against V. M. I.

Gamma Sigma Epsilon TTONORARY fraternities play a great part in the .student life at Davidson. Few are there who have not thrilled as some niembir of O. D. K. came striding down tlu ' li,ipel isle to tap a fellow student. I ' ew ,ire tlieve wlio li;ive not looked with .•idmii ' ation or envy on those wearing the key of Plii Beta Kappa. And so throughout the list of honorary fraternities at Davidson, a list that include.s one in practically every line of stu- dent endeavor. In addition to Phi Beta Kap- pa and Omicron Delta Kapi)a there are sev- eral of high national r;inking. and some locals of even greater work upon the campus. Since its organization in the fall of 1925 the Honorary Fraternity Council has done much to shape the affairs of these fraterni- ties. The first work was the arrangement of a schedule for meetings that would eliminate conflicts and other confusion. Following this ;i eonunon bid d;iy was establislu ' d for both tile fall and spring elections. One of the outstanding works of the Coun- cil has been the progress in securing a meet- ing hall. The first Council secured one in Concord Building, eliminating the necessity of depending upon the generosity of the so- cial fraternities. Last fall much more ac- tractive meeting room was secured in Elm Row.

These two are inevitably and unalterably connected, one c ' annot well exist witiiout the other. . nd they are two important elements that make Davidson the best old college in the East or West. The enforcement of the Honor System and of the Constitution is left absolutely in the hands of the Student Council, the represen- tatives of the student body. The Student Council Judges and ))unishcs all men guiltv of violating the laws of the Honor .System and Constitution of the student body. The council is composed of fifteen men. ranging from seven representatives from the Senior class, to one from the Freshman class. As president of the student body, Jim Pink- ney of Canon City, Colorado, was head of the Student Council. Christian, Joe McCon- nell, Bohannon, Covington, Mcllwaine, and lir.inch were the other members from the .Senior class. The Junior class representa- tives were McLain, Martin, Nisbet, and Ar- rowood. Covington and Roddy were Sopho- mores on the Council, and Frew, president of the Freshman class, was their representative. . rrowood and Nisbet were vice-|)residents of the student body, while Dick Flinn was secretary-treasurer. The rare personality of the president of the student body. .Tim I ' inkney, was shown List spring when he was elected the seere- t.irv and treasurer of the Southern Federa- tion of Colleges — an organization for the study, comparison, and mutual assistance of .ill the student governments of the South. Pinkney ' s work as president was of the highest calibre, carrying the government through some trying situations with credit. STUDENT GOVERNMENT lAMES F. PINKNEV President HIGH X.

The acijuisition ol ' the entire first floor of Phi Hall, as Y. M. C. A. headquarters in 1925, was a valuable and far-reaching stei). This includes the secretary ' s office, reading rooms, and a large recreation room, where music and various games are provided. These rooms fill a long needed want, in supplying the non-fraternity men a suitable place to entertain their relatives and feminine visit- ors, on such dates as Junior Speaking and Commencement. The rooms are usually well filled throughout the year by students seek- ing relaxation from the regular school rou- tine.

Along with winning athletic teams. a competent system has been built up to con- trol and handle the athletics of the school. A great improvement in the system has been the change in the method of electing managers ; instead of being elected by the student body, the managers are chosen by the players and coaches, after three years of work on the elimination plan. This system makes sure that a manager is chosen of merit and not on popularity. Through the generosity of Smith and L. Richardson, the first section of a concrete stadium was completed last fall. The addi- tion of a stadium ranks the athletic field as one of the best in the South. The past year marked the advent of Pro- fessor W. W. Wood as Faculty Advisor of Athletics. He succeeded Dr. J. M. Douglas, who resigned after liaving rendered a long term of service in this cipacity. Professor Wood was also elected t liairinan of a com mittee of n presentatives fro m leading schools in Georgia, North and South Carolina and Virginia, to consider tlie formation of a new athletic conference. Ernest Bohannon, one of the most out- standing Wildcat athletes in football and track, was president of the Athletic Asso- ciation. Hugh Arrowood was vice-president and Boh Kell was secretary. During the school year of 1926-27 the president, Ernest Bohannon. showed an in- terest and spirit of co-operation in all the sports of the college that testified to the wis- dom of his selection as the head of Davidson athletics. As the school year is closing he is work- ing on plans for the future that will mean much to the lovers of athletics who are not able to make the varsitv team. 77 ; ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Officers E.

FINANCING THE ANNUAL Clancy Ji ' illiains IL ' VEN the editor can sympathize witli the business manager in his joh of scraping together enough money to pay for a near seven thousand dollar publication. No part of this job can be counted easy, save possi- bly that of the student campus fees which Mr. Jackson so obligingly collects for us the first of each semester. And that is the easi- est part of the collecting for those who pay know little of it. But wlu n it comes to selling ads in the Qiiip-1 ami Cranks to a hard-worked merch- ant — well, you have a job that ' s far from a cinch. The lil ' JT Quips anil Crunks is directed from the financial side bv Clanton W. Wil- liams, assisted by several .hiniors of known ability. As this goes to press Business Man- ager Williams tells us all is safe in his side of the house. Later on the bills will begin to trickle in, more and more, until they look as if to swamp us under the deluge. If ,it the end the book comes sailing out on to]) of the waters we ' ll h.ive to take our hat ofll ' to Clancy. Tiie business manager was ably assisted by a number of sophomores but especially four junior assistant manager.s, to whom much of the financial success of the yearbook is due. C ' .trter Rowe. Val (juthrie. Dick C ' arr and Charlie Trabue worked very faithfully on the publication doing work that brings little honor and credit from the populace but much appreciation from those who have watched them clear the way for the editorial force. A word of appreciation is also due the staff of The Davidsonian for its ready co- operation in publicity while White Studio had its force on the campus, as well as at other times.

It has won a pre-eminent place in every stu- dent ' s reading list, for to miss an issue of The Davidsonian is to miss not only what is happening at Davidson but in other schools as well. The Davidsonian has eight large four col- umn pages, and is filled with all the news that ' s fit to print for a college reader. Three times in the last four years the i)aper has won the distinction of being voted the best college newspaper in the state. Harllee Branch, Jr., as Editor-in-Chief, not only handled his duties efficiently but introduced a number of new features which have added materially to the success of the paper. Ver- non Broyles was Business Manager and handled capably his important end of the work. Since I5rancli ' s editorship of Thf Dai iil- sonian the paper has taken on ,i real busi- ness-like atmosphere, ;in organization of workers liaving been strengthened and in- creased in efficiency. The results were no ticeable to those who are famili.ir with col lege journals. The ))a))er has received attention tlirougii- out tlie entire South, wiiili- on the Davidson caniijus it has continued to iiold a erv ))ro- ininent place in the student life. Never before has the paper been run with a fairer and more impersonal attitude, nor in the past years has its editorial page been of such high quality as under the editorship of Harllee Branch. From a business standpoint the pai)er was more than usually successful. Branch was ably assisted by many mem- bers of the lower classes but those of es- pecial note were Boyce Alartin, Sloppy Lin- gle and Caldwell Withers, while Brovle ' s work was supplemented by that of Ed Doug- las, Martin Crawford and Julian Lake in a very efficient manner.

True to its name, it ehaiifies color with each issue, and with its new name and form, it seems to have brought about to some extent a revival in lit- erary interest on the campus. The Chame- leon publishes only original matter from the student body in the form of short stories, plays, essays, poetry, etc. ; and suffice it to say tiiat The Cliaineleun, both in appear- ance and contents, has received more favor- able conunent than any previous Davidson niai ' azine. H. M. Austin was F.ditor-in-Chicf of the magazine the ))ast year, and E. D. Wither- spoon was Business Manager. A few of the other men who contributed in a large man- ner toward the success of the magazine are Ogden, Caligan, Martin and ,rimmy and Don Wharton. The magazine, as the other publications, made some remarkable advances in the year of 1926-27. Editor Austin worked consistently in im- proving the make-up of the publication, pre- senting to the student body one of the most attractive magazines ever published by any college in the south. From a literary standpoint the quality of the magazine fluctuated from issue to is- sue, from page to page. The graduation and retirement from the school of a number of good writers left the magazine in a preca- rious situation. It managed to pull through, however, with credit, and to reach a position rarely ecjualed at Davidson. Only three issues were put out on account of lack of funds. THE CHAMELEON STAFF II.

The 1S)27 Qiiipx and Cranks, while, as all other annuals theoretically are, a senior pub- lication, owes much to these ten members of the Sophomore class who worked so steadily to aid its production. When the editor took charge he stated that in tlie future the annual staff would have had uuire expirienee in annual work than most of those in the past. While none of these men rate .a ])laei- on the stafl ' as yit. their work has been of high order, willingly .ic- cepted and promptly turned in.

It has arranged a scliedule of h-hatcs with the best seliools of the south and east, and started off liy the first team winning two debates. In the South this year Davidson is de- bating Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Emory University, University of the South ( Sewa- nee), Duke University and William and Mary Colhge. In th - East Davidson is meeting (ieorge Washington University, (lettysburg C ' oUege. Bethlehem Moravian College, Rutgers Univi ' rsity and Johns Hop- kins. In addition to this and two Freshmen debates with the Universitv of North Caro- lina the Forensic Council is carrying on tlie regular work of controlling the literary so- cieties, planning tlu- inter-society contests and the regular junior ;ind senior oratorical contests. It has been the |)lan of the Council to de- velop forensic activities at Davidson to a higher jiosition by engaging with the best schools that could be met; by having de- bates frecpiently enough to keep the inter- est running: and in addition, to make David- son better known and more honored through association with the better schools of the south and east. The work of the Council was directed by L. D. ' harton, .Jr.. president, ably assisted by Henry T. Powell, secretary. The other members of the Council were C. W. Williams, vice-president, and Chalmers Davidson and P. W. Garrison, secretaries. The following are the results of the 192( - 27 season : Davidson 3; V. P. I.

In the first of these Ben Ratchford, Roland Parker, and Henry Pow- ell met the University of Pittsburg on the question of the ownership of the coal mines. This debate was perhaps the finest staged at Davidson in several years, the Pennsyl- vanians sending to Davidson a crew of as polished speakers as ever appeared on flu- hill. Davidson lost this debate by the vote of two-to-one. Several weeks later Clancy Williams and Yancy Bowie engaged the Virginia Poly- technic Institute in a rather drowsy affair in Shearer Hall on the question of the cre- ation of a Federal Department for aviation. Once again Davidson was defeated, and if my memory is correct, by tiie same tw-o-to- one score. Harllee Branch and Don Wharton for the first time in their college careers joined to- gether on a trip to the University of the South (Sewanee) to debate that school on the same aviation question. The clash be- tween the Wildcats and Tigers is said to have been as fast as the aeroplanes thej- were talking about. However, Davidson got only one of the three votes. The final debate of the year resulted in an overw ' helming and unanimous victory for Davidson over the Presbyterian College of South Carolina on the question of the entry of the United States into the World Court. Davidson had the affirmative side of the question. Don Stewart, Gordon McCutchen, and Sunny Pullen spoke for Davidson.

These two teams used the same subjeet as the varsity against Sewanee, Bob Grady, Lawrence Dumas, and Graham winning at Davidson, while Ken- neth Pritchett, Paul Gates and 15ob Kell were the victors at Chapel Hill. In the fall of 192(; the Wildcats began their greatest debating season witli two vic- tories, Layton McCutchen and Greer Davis defeating both Virginia Polyteclinie Institute and George Washington University on the question of the amendment of the ' olstead Act. The first debate was held at Blacksburg, Virginia, McCutchen and Davis coming out on the big end of a three-to-nothing decision as they upheld the orthodox and blue-stock- ing side of Resolved, that the Volstead Act should be amended to allow for the manu- facture and sale of light wines and beer. The following week the same two boys took the District of Columbia gentlemen into camp in Shearer Hall, again winning three- to-nothing on the same side. The George Washington team brought to Davidson some speeches that were far from being dry. The contest was unusually enjoyable. As the annual goes to press there are some twenty students making preparations to en- ter the preliminaries for the four teams that will represent Davidson this spring. On till- eighth the tryouts for tile Nortliern spring tryouts were held in Shearer Hall, I eo Pritchett and Henry Powell being se- lected to represent Davidson against .fohns Hopkins and Duke Universities, Frank Hall being alternate. Three days later three sophomores won places on the team, which will meet Emory: Bob Grady, Kenneth Pritchett and Lawrence Dumas (alternate). On the eighth the tryouts for the Northern trip, on which Davidson meets William and Mar} ' , Rutgers and Gettysburg, was held with Harllee Branch and Don Wharton mak- ing the trip with (iordon McCutchen as al- ternate. As the final copy goes to the printers the debating season is over excejit for the split- team debate with Duke University al i iir ham, the varsity encounter with Sewanee at Queens College, and the two freshman de- bates with Carolina at Davidson and Chapel Hill. Henry Powell and Leo I ' ritehett won from a fine team rejiresenting .Johns Hopkins University, the debate being held at Queens College on the question of a uniform mar- riage and div orce law. A few days later Kenneth Pritchett and Bob (ir.idy lost to Emorj ' University at Davidson on the ques- tion of recognition of Soviet Russia. The greatest interest ever in Davidson debating was aroused over Branch and Wharton ' s invasion of the east, debating as they did both sides of the (juestion of debt cancellation. At William and Mary Univer- sity, upholding the negative side (opposed to cancellation) Davidson won before a large audience in the famous Phi Beta Kajipa Hall. At Gettysburg and at 15etlileheiii Davidson was defeated two to one as they argued for cancellation. The final debate of the trip was won from Rutgers University, as Branch and Wharton spoke for cancellation before a crowd of five hundred citizens of New Brunswick. As the annual goes to press many other speakers are preparing for the Sewanee pre- liminaries.

' I ' he voluminous rolls of this society, dating back to 1837, contain their full share of the names of the leading speakers and de- baters of the college. This soeiety. along with her sister societies, has indeed served Davidson well in the jiast. The Phi Society began the year li)2fi- Ut27 with a tirni determination to live up to the rei)utation gained from her jjast ac- complishments. Greatly strengthened and invigorated by union with the Metrophilian Society, an offspring from the Philanthropic Society which did a wonderful work as long as there was need for her existence, the Phi Society has indeed made this year a successful one, both as regards the benefits derived by her members from the work in the society itself and also in the part liir mem- btrs have played in all outside activities. The officers of the society were Covington, president; O ' Neal, viee-iiresident ; Grady, secretary; and I ' owtll. treasurer. These officers were elected .after the merging of the two societies.

One of the oratorical contests was an inter-collt- giate contest. A. H. Hollingswortii of the Pandeinic Literary Society was winner of the Senior Oratorical Contest held in Shearer Halls as the last oratorical contest of the year. The subject of the winning oration was The Man Who Stands Alone. It was delivered in a delightful manner, holding the atten- tion of the audience throughout, and winning the appropiation of the hearers by the choice of words, the delivery, and the quality of the voice. The three other speakers on the pro- gram were B. U. Ratchford, A. Y. Bowie, and R. B. Parker. The .Junior Oratorical Contest, the zenith of the stupendous, scintillating array of mirth-provoking festivities of .Junior Speak- ing Week, was won by Harllee Branch.

Mrs. Coral Hamer Baker, noted musical teacher of Charlotte, again directed the ac- tivities of the Club. Having complete charge of the chorus and the selection of the clas- sical numbers, Mrs. Baker conducted a large number of practices by the middle of the fall — in time for the Club ' s portion of the Stunt Night program. This annual event was produced witli great skill and before a full house under the guiding hand of the (ilee Club officers. Practically cleared from debt by the prof- its of this production, other parts of the pro- gram were completed and the musicians went to Rock Hill, South Carolina, for an engage- ment shortly before the Christmas recess. After the examination lull, one night trip was taken to Mooresville, Lenoir, and other near- by cities and one concert presented on the Hill. Instead of the usual ten-day Southern tour, two shorter trips were made, the first coming about the first of March included stops at Greensboro, Winston-Salem, while the second saw the songsters in South Caro- lina giving concerts at Converse College, Greenville and nearby cities. One night pro- gram of the Junior Speaking Week was de- voted to a Glee Club concert. The Club consisted of thirty-five members, all told. The regular chorus claimed about thirty; the Jazz Orchestra boasted of 10 pieces and the Symphony Orchestra of thir- teen. A comedy filled in between the two parts of the program. Officers for the past year were: J. S. McRae, president; J. S. Foster and E. L. Douglas, vice-presidents; W. O. Green, business manager; and Cald- well Withers, advance manager. The Glee Club of 1926-27 was regarded by many as the best put out at Davidson in the past few years. Whether such is true or not, we know of no club that had as fine a spirit as did this one, facing its debts with- out a whimper, and singing itself not only to fame but to a place of financial safety.

At first the new band of enthusiasts received little or no support from either the students or the faculty. How- ever, recently under the direction of Profes- sor Edwin J. Erwin, tlie local actors have )nit on a iiuinlnr of first-class ])roductions, especially on diie-act plays. This year the organization — known until this year as The Dramatic Club — commenced work with the opening of school. Professor Erwin. in addition to directing the activities, lias written and produced several plays which have been produced from time to time on pro- grams the main part of which were written by students. As a feature of the Stunt Night program Ten Days, written by James Robert Covington, was offered to .m appreciative audience with immeasurable success. Later, before the Christmas recess. the Masquers took three one-act offerings, including Ten Days, to Charlotte.

During the past few years military life has. through many improvements. )f th reached a prominenct hill. At the head of the Davidson Corps is Captain George H. Weems, who, in his four years at Davidson, has con- tributed much to t h e student body, b o t h through his work with the mili- tary corps and in The Rifle Team iiis interest in outside activities. Captain Weems has given invaluable service to Da- vidson through his excellent coaching of the wrestling team, placing on the mat each year a team which has ranked high among the schools of the South. One year he won the state championship, while he has in no year failed to develop some wrestler of unusual ability as compared with the best in the country. The other two captains at Davidson are Ciptain Daughtery and Captain Elkins. The rifle team and the boxing team can be at- tributt-d to the work of these two men. During the class of ' 27 ' s stay at David- son the battalion has been commanded as fur as the students are concerned by Major Ford, Major Lake, Major Huie and this year by Major Sims. Each of these men have shown unusual ability along those lines. Cadet-Major Sims has for his staff Kelly VVoodham, Adjutant, and Captains Brand, Broyles, Green and Puckett. The Class of 1927 came to Davidson at the same time that Captain Weems did — a time when military life at Davidson had sunk to a very low ebb. Leggings were rolled as one wished, if at all. and the rows of multi- colored shoes at pa- rade was enough to bring the resigna- tion of the entire military staff.

Every captain is knock- need except Captain Green, the commander of Company C. It would not take a very close observer to tell that he is just the op- posite, but legs do not make the captain as anyone who has heard Captain Green barking out his commands will testify. Lieutenant Davis commands the first platoon. The sec- ond platoon claims Lieutenant Kuykendall as its commander, and the third platoon is in charge of Lieutenant Frierson. Co. D D Comjjany all i)resent or ac ' counted for. That is Captain Puckett, who is the commander of Company D. We would not say what the men of Company D would do in the trenches, but they look pretty good on the drill field, and on a hot day the drill field is just about as bad as the trenches. D Company is fortunate to have Lieutenants Anderson, King and Calhoun in command of its three platoons. With such an array of officers a company could not help Init be there with the goods.

AVe had in mind the fact that certain stndtnis come to Davidson, accom- phsh various tilings that seem vahi- able to many people, and yet never (juite seciu ' e the recognition they deserve. And so we have had selected eight men at Davidson who have distin- guished themselves in varied lines of endeavor. A place in the hall of fame is open to every student at Davidson except t h o s e who are members of Omicron Delta Kappa Fraternity. There are no set quali- fications; there are no standards that cannot be broken. The selection has in no way been connected with the annual staff; a committee appointed by the presi- dents of the two middle classes made the selections after two months of consideration. We present them for your approval; they have ours. :r-F ) JT :: i] : f Two hundred eighty-; j : :=c :=::V ):=: ) ) r: : ± r= IgUIPS CRANKS I y y I i y I i y y y y y y y I y y y y i JOHN BERNHARDT Baseball ..fill. weather begins we see him trucking off aniond loaded down with baseball hard- cause his faithful and untiring work was il value in the publication of this book.
