S I y y V V V V V y V V V y V V Sr y y y y y y y y THE D. H. HILL THEME THIS is the second historical theme to be treated in the Quips and Cranks. Last year tlie life of Marshal Peter Stuart Ney was the subject, and this year the art theme is woven about General D. H. Hill. Through the art theme, the annual seeks to revive and perpetuate the memory of men who have played important roles in the upbuilding of Davidson College. D. H. Hill was graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 18i2. He served with distinction in the war with Mexico and rose to the rank of Major. General J. E. Johnston said, Some of the officers were in the habit of saying that D. H. Hill was the bravest man in the army in Mexico. Major Hill came to Davidson after being on the faculty of Washington College for six years. In 18.54 Davidson was a small but bravely struggling college, and in his five vears of active connection with the school. Hill played no small part in its growth. He served as Professor of Mathematics and also introduced a demerit system similar to that used in military schools. Although it did not meet with great favor among the students, it was efficient in preserving order and discipline. Major Hill wrote a valuable textbook in algebra during this period. He read the unmistakable signs of the coming conflict, and resigned from the facultv in 1859 to become commandant of the Charlotte Military Institute, David- son College lent him money for the buildings. In 1861 he went to Raleigh, where he was in charge of the state training camp for ten thousand volunteers. His excellent leadership won him the rank of general during the war. He particularly distinguished himself in the battles of Mechanicsville. Antietam and Chiekamauga. It is interesting to know that in the battle of Antietam he had three horses shot from under him. Cieneral Hill served as a trustee of Davidson from 1859 to 1875. He died in Charlotte on September 24, 1889, and is buried in the Davidson cemf- tery. Forgotten! No! we cannot all forget. Or, when xve do, farexcell to Honor ' s face. To Hope ' s siceet tendrance. Valor ' s tnipaid drht. And even nohlesf Grace, Which, nursed in Love, might lill hrnigtili bloom Above a nation ' s tomb! Forgotten! Tho ' a thousand ijears should pass, Methinks our air will throb with memory ' s thrills, A conscious grief weigh down the faltering grass, A pathos shroud the hills. Waves roll lamenting, autumn sunsets i earn For the old time ' s return! Paul Hamilton Havnk. ..c i 77)c Coliimiis of Old Chamhcrx 1 Sf V V $ V V V V V I Sr Sr Sr V Sr V S -!

Branch was one of the most capable and outstanding members of the class of ' 27, and demonstrated his talent again this year by serving as Assistant Alumni Secretary and also taking graduate work. He proved himself the same efificient and able Harllee, and did much for the college in the past year. After fortifying himself with the M. A. , Harlee plans to enter law school. HORACE HEWELL ROSERERRY Malvehn, Ark. Master of Arts in Phi sics Gamma Sigma Epsilon; Sigma Pi Sigma; Biology Club: Eumanean Literary Society; As- sistant in Physics. Roseberry received a B. S. degree from Davidson in 1926, and the following year went to University of Virginia as Instruc- tor of Physics. He returned to his alma mater tliis year to serve in that capacity and also to get a Master ' s Degree. Rose- berry is one of the few Davidson men who have made all three of the honorary scien- tit ' ic fraternities on the campus, and this fact ably testifies as to his ability in the field of science. QUIPS CRANKS 1928 SENIOB CLASS HISTOKY THIS isn ' t going to be a class history, in tlie ordinary sense of the word. I make that statement without laying claim to any origi- n.ility. But the editor and I got our heads together and decided that the majority of class histories are dutiful but dull. They occupy themselves with enumerating the things that have hap- pened to the class, and with a series of depres- sing statistics. They give the number of men that entered, the number tliat was graduated; tliey list the class officers for the four 3 ' ears ; they elaborate gloriously, flamboyantly, and dithvrambically on the cloak of honor with which dear old blanket-blank has covered her- self. Now Witt and I came to tlie conclusion that Caldwell Withers this was all wrong. We based our decision on resident ti,e beliefs that tlie most important facts would be remembered by the class members without our humble aid, and that very few outsiders, at least until the matrimonial epidemic begins, would be interested in statistics. Most of us bought radiator rent tickets, in the verdancy of our freshmanhood, and lost, and all of us saw the ' Cats claw Carolina. The various presidents, in order, were as follows: Johnny Foster, Mutt Nisbet, I,ynn McClain and Caldwell Withers. We twenty-eigliters don ' t say that our class is the best ever to have been at Davidson, although it is. We ' ve had about the usual number of letter men, of liter- ary men, of Phi Bater Kappers and of Kapper Bater Phis. We ' ve gained abolut the ordinary .-imount of scholastic achievement (whatever that is) and of social recognition. By the time this year-book reaches the eyes of an eagerly waiting populace, if any, ' 28 will in all probability be an aggregation of go-and-get-tight alumnibuses. Most of us will begin drifting back to the hill with the beginning of the football season next year, to brag about the grid stars that were here in our day, to relate the story of our epic victory over Carolina, to advise upperelassmen as to the way they should take advantages of tlieir opportunities while in college, and to deplore plaintively the deterioration of the younger generations at Davidson. Some of us. within the next ten years, may be able to drive our own ears; some of us may have a chauffeur; some of us, sad to predict, may have a wife .... I don ' t know just how much of all this is serious. Not too much of it, any- way. I ' ll pi-obably talk the same way on the eve of graduation, in order to avoid any possible embarrassment of a waterworks nature. i ■ t= Y QUIPS CRANKS 1928 Vft. this ;.v sirious, wt- think ' 28 is ahoiit thi ' finest hunili i f hoys ever. Maybe hccausu we ' re on tlie inside h)okinf; out. Tiie majority of us have enjoyed almost every minute we ' ve heen here. W ' e may liave suffered some dnrinj; exee])tionally accurate gun-practice on tlie part of some prof, hut we ' ve had our kick telling ahout it later. We ' ve even enjoyed being present at the absence eonnnitte meetings every Monday afternoon. We ' ve enjoyed occasional social activities of the college. But most of all we ' ve enjoyed the bull-sessions and the associations. We twenty-eighters, like all the others who have gone before us. .-md all the others who will come after us. have gotten something here in four years that is exceedingly hard to ])ut into words, but of which every member is intensely con- scious. We ' ve found friendship and fellowship; we ' e been thrown into contact with kindred minds and spirits. Members of the faculty and those of the class who are iiitrospeetively and analyt- ically inclined have been able to watcli the develo])ment of ' 28 from the heterogenous grou]) of verdant new boys, through the vicissitudes of carrying l.iundry and water out of Watts, through the sophomorism of sophoinore-hood, through the egoism of junior-hood, to the sophistication and wisdom of full-fledged seniors. Every class history may say that. It would be a reflection on the cl ass and the college if it didn ' t. Some time the latter part of May slightly o tr a liutulred of us. if we don ' t flunk Eco in the meantime, will be awarded the venerable and ancient sheep-skin. ' ery likely there will be a rather flat feeling for several weeks after that. Pursuit is much more enjoyable than attainment. It is oratorical but true that the class of ' 28 stands on the threshold. These four years have been a training camp, nothing more. However much importance they have assumed, however much sentimental meaning they have had tor us. they are no more than an interlude, a preface to something greater. o doubt many of us will slip into our own particular rut after we get out of school. The rest, more fortunate, will drink of rom.ince. ]5ut that is life. It is to be hoped that there are more Latin temperaments in the class than there are Roman noses. CEA.-;.

' But at the close of our four years run there comes a time of general survey of our college life, in which the names of many men stand our in bold relief against the colorful background of campus as- sociations. One of these is John Akers. Johnny came to us from l,incolnton with an un- jiarallelled determination to make good, and his host of friends are ample proof of his success. In the classroom, on the parade-ground, and in daily walks of campus life his was an intensity of pur- pose and stability of character that would not be denied. His sunny disposition was always in evi- dence, and his sense of humor as keen as that of any ready mixer. His 2at right, and watcha say, fella, ' are going to be missed a lot on the hill next year, while out in the world Johnny will be making great headway in his chosen profession. BEN GEKR ALDl-R.MAN Alcolu, S. C. Bachelor of Science in Physics Sigma Pi Sigma; Junior Week Committee. H K ! Here is the prodigious prodigy of the Class of Twenty-eight, Cueball Aid cf man (and he ' ll answer to any number of given names, incidentally ). Coming to us from a little South Carolina high school, he has proved to what large heights a Davidson man can attain. An ardent supporter of his class and college activities, he has contributed a valuable part as one of the Wildcat ' s truest up- holders. Always optimistic, scanning the sunny horizon of life and eager to help his fellows and his school possesses an enviable virtue. Although not recognized as a campus leader, he has won the respect of both faculty and student body because of his willingness to do his bit and stick to that, honors not featuring in the service he readily sees fit to render. Big Chief is truly one of the most valuable men in the Class, valuable not only because of his encouraging interest in its affairs, but supremely valuable in the possession of a winning personality, one that is impressed on the hearts of his class mates and one that is reciprocal in that worthy fellowship. A real gentleman, emphasizing these qualities of moral betterment, a sincere friend, a hard worker, the keen critical insight that marks the successful student destines Ben to achieve memorable ends and a great reputation in the busi- ness world which will claim him. Your Class will watch vnur future record with interest and deep regard, Ben. jmus Mi y QUIPS G CRANKS JOHN MONTGOMERY AXDRUW Salisbury, N. C. Bachelor of Science in Chemistry Phi Literary Society; Library Ass ' t. ; Gamma Sigma Epsilon; Sec.-Treas. of Volunteer Group; Editor of The Volunteer, publication of the Student Volunteer Union of North Carolina. The world admires a man who quietly and without show or ceremony accomplishes life ' s duties and brings upon himself, by reason of his achievement, distinction and honor. He has taken things as they come, without one word of complaint. Others fly up in the air, but John remains the same patient, faithful lad. He wastes no steam in his whistle, hut saves it all for the wheel. He has not looked ahead and dreamed of the future but he has seen clearly what was close at hand. He had a heart to resolve, a head to understand, and a hand to ex- ecute. This concentration to a purpose was not for a college career, but for a life. John is to go to the foreign field as a medical missionary. He has dis- tinguished himself as a devotee of Science, having at- tained membership in the Chemistry Fraternity. In the religious sphere he has risen to the ranks of leadership in the Student Volunteer Work in North Carolina. As a background for his life of service, he has strengthened the elements of character that count for manhood. In his thought and ideal he has not roamed but soared. Shielded with faith in the cause of his Master, and kindled with a love for others, he leaves Davidson only to enter a greater field of usefulness and sacrifice and service. HOWARD BELL ARBUCKLE, JR.

Early in his freshman year lie stepped forward into the vanguard of his classes and has forged since then a record that is filled with worthwhile achievement. It is well nigh impossible to sum up in a few words the character and worth of a man like Coffee . That he has been a leader in his class is evident from the honors they have given him. To him has come the highest scholastic award that Davidson can give. His prominence in many lines of activity on the campus has shown that he is a man of versatile talents. His numerous friends pro- claim him a man of the finest personal qualities. It only remains for us to say that Davidson will miss him in a very real way. Other men will arise to carry forward the work which has occupied him here for four years, but the man we lose in his departure will not be forgotten soon. jmus Mt ' y QUIPS G CRANKS HUGH [ABRY ARR(3W00D Shei-by, N, C.

A G X It is with mixed feelings that one attempts a characterization of Hugh Arrowood — humility at one ' s un worthiness, frustration at the impotency of words, apology for describing that which needs no description. For those who know him, no praise is needed ; for those who do not, his record will suffice. Quiet, self-contained, genial, eyes on lofty ideals, yet tolerant and sympathetic, his very person in- spires trust. Supreme honors have been vested in him ; the student body of Davidson College has given him its highest office, and every man on the campus is proud to call him friend. He exemplifies thoroughly the truth that still waters run deep. And for the benefit of feminine eyes, these final words are written : his quietness is, in some ways, deceptive. Few are the ladies who may boast him a victim of their wiles, but he remains, neverthe- less, a subject of interest. CHARLES GORDON BASKERVILLE Monroe, N. C. Bachelor of Sciem-e in English Fresh Football. n K A Hound of the Baskersvilles they call him, designation apropos in so far as this particular ap- pelation represents the apotheosis of things doggy in manner, in dress, in technique. Serious illness at the outset of his college career having shattered actual realization of potential grid- iron ability, the hound sought elsewhere his laurels, this time in the more refined realm of the social. The fact that he reigned supreme is evi- dent. Carolina ' s fairest proclaim him hero of a thousand affaires d ' armour, and cynosure of maiden eyes at a thousand gay functions. A ladies ' man, yes, but a man ' s man for a ' that. a gentleman in the highest sense, ever finding life the true expression of the beautiful and radiating its philosophy through a great personality to all with whom he comes in contact. Xmus g y QUIPS G CRANKS REGINALD HODGHS BISHOP Belhaven, N. C. Bachelor of Science in Economics Kach year there are many men who enter the gales of our campus and always there is a large group who leave a pleasing remembrance and a feeling of deep respect for them in the hearts of their friends. Reggie is one of this group, and we are proud to have known him and to have had the privilege of calling him friend. Always eager to enter into everything with spirit, he can be counted on to do his share in studies, activities and all the fields that are open to him. Early he became known as a member of the Third Floor £ast Gang and was one of the best liked men in the group. Bishop has decided to enter the business world, and we wish him the greatest success in his chosen work, feeling assured that the same characteristics that he has shown during four years of student life will carry him far in the particular field he decides to enter. His pleasing smile, his snappy and hearty greet- ing, his warm friendliness are among the many things that will be missing when he leaves us in June. That ' s a fact, Reggie, your place will be hard to nil. JOSEPH BENJAMIN BOYLES Cornelius, N. C. Bachelor of Arts in History To realize the value of a real friend, intimate ac- quaintance is necessary. Those, who really know Ben. know that they have a true and sincere friend. Daily the stillness of the morning air is broken by the rattle of his flivver, as he breezes in from the neighboring city of Cornelius. Always he comes with a cheery smile and a humorous greeting to his fellow students. However his true motto is to let actions speak louder than words, Spanish, History, and Biology arc his favorite courses. His work in these courses, especially in Spanish, has been very commendable. And yet he is not selfish with his knowledge. His friends have found him to be an ever-present help in time of need.

Of the men of ' 28 you will be sure to remember Brownie as a man whose friendship was eminently worthwhile. Preeminently, perhaps, a student, he did not, however, let his college life become one-sided. His marks which well up among the first of his class were not attained by boning and seclusion. It is entirely to his credit that he was able to attain scholarly proficiency and yet neglect none of the more frivolous joys of college life. His Chemistry lab knew no more serious devotion than did his favorite game of checkers ; he read College Humor. Vanity Fair and Encyclopedia Brltannica with equal fer -or and understanding. Among our friends none may be remembered more pleasantly. Where can we find a more pleasant bumming companion, a keener student, a more sympathetic friend?

What he lacked in weight, he has supplied in persistence, and as a result he made a most valuable man for the track team in the field events, his particular dish being to hurl the javelin. Elmer has not often been seen idling on the campus, for he has always been at work in one creditable field or another, but he has made him- self felt on the campus as one of its hardest workers and one of its real Christian gentlemen.

Hiidu ' lor of Scicucc in Education Varsity Baseball; D Club. Local talent in the ranks of Davidson men has always been an important characteristic of the student body. When Frill entered with the Class of 28, assurance was given of another steady, hard- working man who would come to the end of his four years well rewarded for his work. And so now this man is graduated. But only after making scores of friends among his classmates and in turn being considered by them worthy in the nth degree of the name Wildcat. Never allowing a moment to pass wasted, Frill has taken part in many phases of college activity. His ability in baseball was recognized early in his collegiate career and he easily earned a position on the pitching staff of the rat team. In the succeeding years Iiis i)icsence was noted on the varsity stiuna. His slow, deliberate, determined method of hurling the ball toward the plate has puzzled many strong batters. And, in turn, his willow has often spelt ruin to the opposing fielders on Richardson field. Cathey stands an example of the result of hard diligent work, for his place on the varsity team was not assured until he has proven himself capable of standing in the background in the role of warmcr- up and bench warmer. This done, his rise was rapid until the last two seasons found him in the very first ranks of Wildcat hurlers. Despite the old adage that pitchers are born and not made, we quite fearU-ssly venture the statement that Frill made himself the pitcher only through persistent hard work. ILLI. M AXDREW CATllEY Davidson, N. C. Bachelor of Arts in Bdncation A man ' s development is often judged with ref- erence to his aim from the beginning. Should we take this suggestion as, a basis of this biography, we should say that Toad Cathey has developed remarkably. He has finally emerged from the heap of four years ' toil, grasping the banner of success. grasp — the grasp of a and a radiating per- il is held aloft in his strong will, a powerfu sonaiity. He came to Davidson with a heritage to up- hold — that of a local boy, entering college in his home town and graduating four years later a man. Others have done this before him: he did not fail to heighten the glory of local talent. Cathey ' s forte was baseball. Forever a lover of the game and securing untold enjoyment in play- ing about the pastures of the town, he made a place for himself on the varsity squad his sophmore year. Since that time he could practice only spasmodically, but his presence has always been heeded on the sandlot. He is known as the Iron-man from his ability to stand an unusual amount of punishment while in the box. Sometimes it appears that he will be able to pitch forever. But then one can ' t always be on the athletic field. Off the field, Cathey is one of the best dressed men in school. He is never overdressed but in the finest taste imaginable. i Us ' Ml It is not hard to say what we think of Dan. It would be harder to leave it unsaid for his is a character and a genuineness that merits both envy and eulogy. No matter at what hour we walked into his cozy room in the barracks we were sure to find him doing something worthwhile. Perhaps late in the afternoon when the shadows were lengthening on the campus we found him in his rocker by the window reading philosophy, totally undisturbed by the campus football outside his window or the vic- trola across the hall— a concentration typical of Dan. At other times we might find him discussing campus problems in a serious way or we might discover that he was out on his customary jaunt around the track. In a wide variety of activity he evidenced the same studied, systematized seriousness that is characteristic of the man. Dan ' s college life has been a success in three dis- tinctive achievements. He has prepared himself for life, he has shown himself a man of sturdy charac- ter and he has made friends by the score. The world can hold only success for such a man. .MARTIX rillFER CR.WVFORD Charlotte, N. C.

C. Hachclor of Science in Biology Jim will always be remembered by his friends at Davidson for the qualities of character which have won him their friendship — determination, modesty, cheerfulness, and a willingness to be of help at all times, even at inconvenience to himself. Never thrusting himself or his accomplishments into the limelight for public approval, he followed unassumingly the even tenor of his way, not dis- mayed by disappointments and not satisfied with partial success. In the truest sense of the word, a versatile man he maintained the proper balance between the various phases of his college life and developed his interests along many lines, neither placing too much emphasis on some nor neglecting others. Science has claimed his greatest interest and at- tention. The success which he has achieved in this department points to the greater triumphs which await him in that field in which he shall choose to devote his life. The same qualities which have ser ' ed him so well in college, when carried over into the greater field of Life, will stand him in good stead and continu e to gain for him success and honor in whatever he undertakes. jM - M ' . y QUIPS G CRANKS 1 PIXKNEY JEFFERSON GARRISON, JR.

Ralph entered Davidson as a reserved and quiet type of Freshman but he was not destined to remain as such for he soon found that he held a place in the activities of the campus as well as in the hearts of his friends, Ralph is a natural debater as is shown by his active work in the literary societies. Members of the society sigh with relief when they leani he is on the program for they know that he will say something interesting and worthwhile. Ralph ' s literary achievement is outstanding but lie has not limited his interest to this one activity for we find him excelling in Spanish, Math and Physics. He was on the wrestling squad but we feel that if Davidson possessed a team that was composed solely of humorists, Ralph would certainly land a berth.

So characteristic of Jim, our fighting guard and center of gridiron fame. Many are his opponents who have felt and witnessed his terrific smearing of their plays, who have occasioned the hard knocks of his deadly tackles, who have glimpsed with dismay those cool, blazing eyes across the line. A hard fighter and a gentlemanly player is Jim. But it is not his athletic process that we would let contribute wholly to his reputation as a worthy Wildcat. ' Tis those other qualities, too, which have a part in the development of the highly respected, universally admired man of character — those quali- ties, which compose the essence of four-square think- ing and living. Morally, socially, mentally and physically, Jim stands on the top rung of the ladder. I lis education has been a profitable one because it has been a broad one and a tolerant one ; because it has been a diligent one and a conscientious one. A man among men ; a friend among friends — we arc wonderfully proud of him. Although bestowed with a quiet, unassuming nature, his personality has not suffered because he was likewise endowed with a temperament. productive of initiative, and sympathy. Attractive and abounding with that spirit of fair play which characterizes his every undertaking, he has proven himself a veritable bull- dog for tenacity and real force for things worth while. jmusi Mi y QUIPS G CRANKS WILLI AM RICHARD GREY Davidson, N.

Entering college with a name as a great high school gridiron star, he earned new laurels in the field of athletics with his ability with the pigskin, and has become a well known and well liked football hero of his college, state, and southland. In a small measure his unselfish devotion and his untiring effort for his school were rewarded when his teammates elected him captain of the 1927 team, but even this office could not show the high respect which the student body and the followers of football through- out the south have for him. Not being content to achieve success in one line of activity, Dick has taken a prominent part in many other school enterprises and was elected a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, as a recognition for his interest and participation in campus life in general. Undoubtedly the best known and in all probability the best liked man at Davidson, Dick goes on his way with a modest and unassuming manner that has endeared him to the hearts of his fellow students. As he leaves us for new worlds to conquer, we are proud to point to him as the highest type Davidson man, a true gentleman, and a genuine Scabbard and Blade Lieutenant R. O. T. Captain Rifle Team.

In his quiet and reserved way, Jess has won many friends in the student body. Consistency in scholas- tic work seems to have been his guiding rule and he has followed it steadily — ' lis grades always being at the top. The advanced course in ' ' Rotcy held attractions for Jess and he has made a good soldier and officer. On the rifle team he has usually shot bull ' s- eyes and has done much to make this organization a success. We expect Jess to plug bulTs-eyes in life with the ease he has done it on the range.

He has been the most enthusiastic member of the Dramatic Club since his enrollment at Davidson and is this year the president of that organization. His genial smile and ready wit will be missed by all. and activities from campus football to college publications will be injured by his graduation. JOHN DUKIJKN GWIN Lexington, Miss.

But anyone who has ever been to Davidson and knows the difficulty of recognizing just one of these boys will excuse us if it is really his brother we are talking about. Despite the floods and muddy water of Mississippi John has succeeded in reaching his goal here at Davidson. By nature rather of a quiet unobtrusive person, John is the type of friend that one depends on and knows that the mutual friendship is lasting. This art of making numerous lasting friends has been John ' s great achievement here at Davidson. But he has not forgotten activities during his period of stay here. Spring days saw John working as assistant baseball manager, and although ho did not reach the highest goal in this field of endeavor, he exhibited a spirit of determination and precisc- ness that made him known over the campus. John has also been an active contributor to the news columns of the Davidsonian. His grades have not been forsaken in the pursuit of other duties, John ranking high in scholarship in his class. Returning a few weeks late his senior year, he overcame this obstacle and made excellent grades on his subjects as well.

Kindly, considerate, pleasant, of quiet but a pervasive in- fluence — he is marked as a man who is a credit to the college and to his friends. Xot of the boisterous, hurly-burly typically depicted collegiate type, nor of the gloomy, worn-out, dyspeptic commonly drawn book-wormish type — Joe is himself a happy medium. He realizes the seriousness of life but he does not overlook the joy and gayety of the finer things. Popularity in the proper sense is the deserving reward for the great personality that this young man possesses. Not in the least superficial, not a whit but what is sincere and true — he measures up the exacting standards of a noble and trustworthy character. And, as is characteristic of every real Wildcat, Joe has been a most ardent supporter and participant in every branch of college life which haa called his services. A hard student, a game player on the athletic fields of battle, an enviable figure in the college ' s social life, a leader of men — these distinctive at- tributes destine him for a highly successful life in every phase of a man ' s progress.

Maybe he has studied some, for even the smartest have to study sometimes, and it could not be possible that Bub includes studying in his continuous lark. His favorite pastime is sleeping with a little eating interspersed. No, he is not lazy, for he has been seen out mowing the grass of the golf course with a mashie. Bub is neither the bashful sort nor is he is a woman hater; there- fore by elimination he must be a social high light, for there is no resisting his powerful charm. You know, he said with a sad light in his eyes that he had done nothing worth while at Davidson, but I say he has done what many a valedictorian has failed to do, and that is to make friends, which are the most valuable acquisitions of life.

Ben (Jne often feels a sense of total inadequacy when attempting to describe a great man. And such is the case in trying to tell someone of ' alter Lingle. We call him great for the reason that he has ac- cepted his campus honors as well as disappointments in the same stoical mood. Honors have not turned his head, disappointments have not made him sour. It would be mere repetition to tell of the achieve- ments of Walter. But there is one thing that not all people know of hii bril ' nd that his litable and His literary talents are well known. His beloved Oily has been the outstanding feature of the Davidsonian this year. Not so many know of his prowess with the golf clubs, but they have also been one of his pet hobbies. By this general sum- mary we see that we have a well-rounded man. that ideal which so many seek and very few find. A man who is a real friend, a man who is destined for bigger things than we even dream of. ROBERT SUMTER LINK, JR. Abbeville, S. C. Bachelor of Arts in Economics Scabbard and Blade; Ass ' t. Mgr.

A e X Of Bob Link, many things might be written, all of them favorable. One is faced with the sole difficulty of selection from his multiplicity of good points. Primarily, he is the possessor of that without which no man ' s life, be it in college or out. is com- plete — a circle of close and loyal friends. His room, for the four years he has been at Davidson, has become a gathering place for the leading spirits of the campus, and it is to his credit that other work has not suffered in consequence. Bob Link also has the inestimably valuable gift of getting things done. His highly efficient work as baseball manager, his capable fulfilling of all tasks imposed upon him, the lead he has taken in varied activities are so many straws indicating the path he is destined to follow in life. That path is Success. It is with regret that those who remain will see Bob ' s graduation from Davidson college. There will be something lack ing thenceforward.

Quiet, unassuming, never making a statement he can ' t back up, Tom is one of those rare individuals who think first and speak second. He is not the kind to make friends quickly and injudiciously, but with him, once a friend, always a friend. Tom is the leading Physicist of our class, having been head student assistant until full time labora- tory assistants were employed by the College. Not nnly in Physics, but in all his other studies.

R. O. T. C. e T n Small in statue, but large in personality and good will. This phrase may be used to describe Bob. During his four years with us, Bob has made many friends among the students as well as the faculty, by his geniality and friendliness toward all. Well do we remember his. violin and the things he could do with it. His four years at Davidson have been years of satisfactory accomplishment. The list of his honors is indicative of this, but the testimony of his friends is even more conclusive. Although Cob ' s regular place on the Glee Club is at baritone, his range of notes enables him to sing almost any part which is needed. His strong baritone voice has been one of the mainstays of the Glee Club during his four years at Davidson. A good student and a conscientious worker — Bob has won his laurels and will continue to win them as he goes out into life.

There are others who labor less pretentiously but neverthe- less leave noteworthy influences behind them. Murk is not the showy kind. The afternoon sun. the green shaded madza and the guttering candle have seen him immersed in his studies and his scholastic accomplishments deserve and take a place among the foremost of his class. Perhaps his achievements have not solicited the boisterous applause of the crowd, but they have merited the approval of those who seek genuine and unselfish labor. With all his devotion to his work, however, there was no dearth of time for Murk to devote to outside activities. His facility for writing found for him places on the staffs of three student publications and election to Sigma Upsilon ; his innate leader- ship brought to him the presidency of the Ministerial Band and in addition many other activities have felt the influence of his personality. We shall value the memory of Murk as a man who without effort won our esteem and affection and whose ciuiet forcefulness had a profound in- fluence on our lives.

We shall always be indebted to him for keeping us out from under the dark shadow of pessimism and even though it was innate with him he well merits con- gratulation for his unfailing good humor. Serious moments? Yes, we confess that Hinton knew them when the weight of Chemistry became oppressive, or the memory of a particularly pretty pair of brown eyes became too poignant. But even these disturbing thoughts he tempered with optimism and cheerfulness that brightened the darker things of life. Ilinton ' s life at Davidson has been one thoroughly filled with activity. His every undertaking was assured of his consistent hard work and prevail- ingly, of success. His studies, social activities and campus associations were all characterized by a sincerity of effort and a resolute purposefulness that made for notable achievement.

Camper ' s popularity, then, is evidenced at once by the number, variety and manifold descriptive power of the names to which he has been subject. But this is only a primary evidence and even that is unnecessary for his popularity is self-evident. Logically, then, there should follow a delineation of the reasons and here again there is no dearth of material. Camp has made friends because he has been a friend and has deserved in the highest sense the friendship of others. With an unsur- passed spirit of service he gave of his best in un- ceasing work on the Y cabinet. In a very full sense his influence was felt in the consideration of campus pro blems and his ability in debating aided ] Davidson to new triumphs in forensic fields. In Camper the class of ' J8 possesses a man of personality genuine ability and finest personal ([uali- tics. The futility of doing him injustice here op- presses us. His service to Davidson and those who knew him is not to be expressed in any eulogy or list of honors.

Pete came into prominence early in his colkge career when he was elected secretary of his class in its fresh year. Since that time he has not lagged the least bit in the exercise of that rare quality he has of making and keeping friends, and now he is perhaps one of the best known men on the campus. Always ready to enter into the things of college life with a real earnestness, always a hard worker both in his studies and in making and living up to his reputation as the best boarding house manager on the Hill, Pete exemplifies in a truly admirable way that perhaps greatest of all virtues — loyalty to one ' s cause. And we believe that in the last analysis this is what really lies at the heart core of that thing we call Davidson spirit. When college days have passed us by, and when good old bull sessions hold forth no more, we will look back and think of those glorious ones we used to sit in on out in front of Watts. And then we will remember the inseparable part that Pete played in them ; and, in a logical, successive chain of casual thought, we will come to realize how inseparable a part Pete has been in our entire college life.

He has been unassuming but has made lasting friendships on the campus.

As one of these friends you could count on him to live up to the letter of the friendship to his utmost ability.

As a freshman he pos- sessed that most extraordinary of all attributes, the ability to put first things first — as a senior this quality is only amplified.

Yearbook writeiips are too often biographies, and biogi-aphies are too often misleading. Truth is too often frequently forgotten as the senior biographer gives vent to his feeling in high-flown diction and clever phraseology. The campus Babbitt finds himself after four years of ridicule portrayed in the yearbook as a sort of super-man, the college bully becomes suddenly a man of gentle mien and polite deportment, the class egotist loses all his super- ciliousness and takes on as if by magic a glowing mask of humility. One fancies that all show of pre- tense is the result of colorless subject-matter. A dra b personality lends itself poorly to eulogizing, and exaggeration quite naturally follows. But, here is a man who asks no eulogy, seeks no praise. He has stood well in his classes, without claiming scholastic prizes. He has been a friend to his college mates, without being what is popularly termed a hero. Without athletic laurels he possesses the full vigor and virility of clean young manhood. He wears glasses without seeking to look wise. He talks in the vernacular of the campus, there is no show of artificiality about him.

Biichclor of Science in Biology Sonic men come to college to see things from the side lines; some take part in everything; and then a greater number do their share of both looking and doing. They are never obtrusive or boisterous in their actions but their accomplishments mount up tnitil their list is large and impressive. In this last named group is Tom, He has taken part in several phases of collegiate activity and then has taken a back seat and watched others perform. Never in the way; yet always on hand when needed. He is capable of furnishing more and better ma- terial for a buU-sfSsion than any other man in the class. Well read and possessing a versatile mind he is fully able to talk one down on almost any sub- ject, but in showing you your ignorance he does not make you out to be a simpleton. You are never left in the cold in talking with Tom. He has the peculiar knack of inducing one to feel that one belongs . Tom is another of that long list of local boys who has benefited by contact with the college and who has received his diploma only after proving himself to be every inch a man and worthy to bear the significant name Wildcat .

Dutch has not only served his alma mater well, but as a true friend to all those who know him, he cannot be surpassed. Always willing, always ready and glad to help his friends, he has won a place in our hearts that will forever be his. His happy disposition and willingness to enter in the fun of the crowd has won for him untold popularity and the desire of all to hail him as a good spcurt and a regular fellow. His appeal to the ' fair sex is nothing short of marvellous and we would not do him justice in omitting this fact. He has wandered near and far and in every place he has visited it would be safe to say that Dutch is very well acquainted with at least two or three charming young ladies.

If it is anything about Economics or Education you want to know — ask Joe, he knows. A quiet fellow? Yes, but when he speaks -one does well to listen. Duckworth always has a good word for every- body; Jolly, freehearted, and congenial when you learn to know him. Since Joe has been among us he has not lost his conscientiousness. He has worked hard, and although he has not led his class, he has kept a comfoiTtable margin in his grades for four years.

No one is comparable to him, no one is remotely comparable. Others have thought as clearly, a few have thought as definitely, but no one has thought as originally. Consistent devotion can have only one result and Jimmy has achieved his goal as possibly two or three per cent of college men ever have. No one can talk to him for five minutes and fail to feel the im- press of his originality in thought as well as in cxjiression. He has modelled his creed after Oscar Wihle ' s celebrated observation on moral and unmoral books, so there is no such thing as a moral or un- moral character ; people are either interesting or tedious, and that is thatl Jimmy Wharton is never tedious. In three years of excellent work on the Chameleon he has shown a clearly defined and yet versatile style — a style which has distinguished itself forcibly. Surely we can wish him no greater success in suc- ceeding years than that the qualities which have made him outstanding at Davidson shall continue to ciimmand the attention of his fellow men.

Since his freshman year Caldwell has been identi- fied with a great majority of the activities on the campus, especially in the publication fields.

Stranger, he said, an ' have some of our grub — only $22.00 a month, and the best on the hill — though I ain ' t right certain where the hill is, he added as an afterthought. What place is this ? inquired Bill, careful thumb- ing the catalogue. This liere, rep lied the Two-Gun Man, is Jay- birdsville-on-Highway, a one-police, no-post-office town wherein is located a manly school for Boys. This is an institution that builds up every part of the man except his alimentary canal. It is an historical old college located midway between Charlotte and Statesville — and a good ways from each. But do 3 ' ou live in tents? asked Bill. Say, feller, tliis ain ' t no tent — this is my dormitory, the Two-Gun man re- plied, and continued by way of explanation: Some folks call it No)rth Barracks, but I call it most in generally North Freedom. Well, remarked Bill calisthenically, I ' d like to hook up with yore outfit — Mamma says I ouglit to go liere a year. Then, said tlie Two-Ciun man, you want to git in the class of 1E 29 — It ' s got all the genuine top-Iiands of the college. Don ' t join the seniors — I have to laugh when I think of them — What are they? Why — they ' re just fellers who have been here longer ' n anybody else.

One moment 1 The Two-Gun man hastened away to the offices in Chambers and returned three months later with the report. He had lost ten pounds and flunked two courses on cuts. I got ' em, he gasped, and sank into liis seat just as tlie hymn was announced. Bill took the papers from his liand and read: Class of 1929! Honor class in scholarship — Six men made Honor Roll freshman year, and eight during sophomore year.

You don ' t know the half of it, returned the Two-Gun man, Neither does any- body else. But — he took a deep breath and recited: In that historic old Phi Hall — or maybe it ' s Eu Hall — on the historic campus of historic old Davidson Col- lege, North Carolina, located on a highway — there hangs the very chattering chan- delier that Napoleon swung on when evading his wife.

Witli a gridiron machine sur- passing all of jirevious seasons, out to fight and looking mean. the Wildcats won the state cham])ionshij) for the first time in a number of years. ' Mid the excitement of football season and the joy of victory, the regular order of events resolved into comparative obscurity. But under these conditions, another great event occurred — likewise destined to go down in the liistory of the College — the official debut on .lanuary 10. 1927, oithe class of 1930. Previous to this time, our history from uiatriculation in September was largely that of assimilation and absorption. Assimilation of the old traditions and love of the College, and alisor])tion of the high idealism that so dis- tinguishes Davidson. Football season gave us a clear insight into the pep and enthusiasm of the Student Bodj- at its best, and a full appre- ciation of the true Wildcat spirit. Shirttail l)arades. pep meetings, bondfires — these were the molding influences that developed a real class spirit, and a sense of pride in the Class of ' 30. At the election of officers just after Christmas, the following were elected to serve the remainder of the year: Allan Frew, President; Ben l)t Aruion. ' ice-President ; and Zeb Long. Secretary-Treasurer. Under these officers, the class assumed its responsibility as an important part of the Student Body, and we can now survey with a certain feeling of satisfaction tlie achievements of last year. The Wild Kittens, while not having a very success- ful season, included some exceptionally brilliant material, and Hunt was selected as all-state guard. Although only breaking even in the number of games won and lost, the Basketball team was recognized as one of the outstanding Freshman teams ever to wear the Red and Black. In wrestling, the team made an exception- ally good record, not losing a single match all season. The sophomores, winners of the inter-class track meet, defeated our team by the narrow margin of one point. Our debaters won the annual Freshman contest with Carolina. In publications activities, some sixteen members of the class made the Reporter ' s Club, while many are doing work on the Annual. The Class was well represented in musical, literary, and religious organizations. Nor were the new boys negligent to their other little duties. The glaring numerals on the Tank and West, the pathetic little grave by the Armory, and our challenge to a snow fight with the Sophomores attest to our activities along other lines. One of the outstanding events of the year was the banquet at which we were guests of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. The wit, the menu and varied program planned by Jimmy Matthews readily call to mind the occasion. And once more the historian records the traditional a good time was had bv all 1 C. i!L Pritchet t, President One hundred eight j r r n QUIPS CRANKS 1928 The closing chapter of last jxar was the annual Soph Day about the middle of May. After the trying ordeals of horse-back riding, maintaining the watch, and most gruelling of all — sealing the ])lank. we deposited the little red headgear on the bondfire, and were reminded of our lovely position for the last time. Significant was the action of the class several dajs later in abolishing Sojih Day as it was then celebrated. Several important precedents were set by our class. We were granted the privilege of removing permanently tiie cap. beginning with the Spring holidays, and were given permission to use the path between Chambers and the Post Office. Our class was the first to inaugurate the plan of taxing the members to establish a treasur}-, the money to be used for defraying expenses our Senior year. And now, approaching the second great mile stone of our College Career, we again pause to view the failures and achievements of the class. With tenacity of purpose and a broadening vision, we have upheld the high standards set last year, as shown by some of our activities. Two members of the class — Nat Hunt and Tut McConnell — made varsity letters in football, while Pritchett at forward was one of the out- standing players on the basket ball team. He has been elected to lead the Wildcat quintet next year. Nunan and LallVrty made letters in cross coimtry. and Brown and Christenbury in wrestling. Nor has the class been behind in scholastic at- tainments, with six men — Knox, Marsh, Miller, Brown, Williams, and Edelman — on the Honor Roll. Our debaters have made an excellent showing. Christian and Pritchett winning places on the varsity, with McGuire and Miller as alternates. Allan Frew was selected to represent Davidson in the State Oratorical Contest this year. In nuisical, religious, and other activities, tlie class has made an equally creditable showing. Class officers for this year are: Carl Pritchett, President; Tom Broliard. Mce- President; Frank Brown, Secretary; and Alex Edelman, Historian. CL.VS. OllK KRS j g One hundred nine QUIPS CRANKS 1928 ' V ' - 1 T. C. ADAMS B. S. 1 Charlotte. N. C. D. J. BLACK. Jr A.

Those of previous experience returning wei ' e Tyree Dillard, I.eo Pritchett and Henry Powell of the Senior Class, and Kendrick Pritchett and Bob Grady of the Junior Class. And, to be brief, the results were not by any means the most favorable that have ever blessed Davidson debaters. Out of nine contests entered, three only resulted in victories, five were defeats, and one a no-decision affair. However, be it said, the scores were close in every instance. Five teams represented the college during the season of lil28. eacli composed of two speakers and one alternate. Tliree of these teams met home engagements while the other two competed abroad. The subject used in all debates was the one concerning the military protection of American property in foreign lands, stated, however in query form, in two different ways, thus in reality, giving a different in- terpretation to its wording and argument. Queens College of Charlotte was the scene of the season ' s opener. There on the night of February 29th an affirmative team composed of Frank Hall, and Carl Pritchett, with Reid Graham as alternate, met representatives of William and Mary College and bowed in defeat to a judges ' score of two and one. The state- ment of the query was: Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect, by force of arms, American capital invested in foreign lands. Some eight days later a negative team of Bob Kell. and Leo Pritchett, with Riggs MeConnell as alternate, routed by an over-whelming audience vote in Siiearer Hall, two fiery opponents of the present system of armed protection except iq)on a formal declaration of war, these opponents being gentlemen of tlie University of Florida. Thus was Davidson ' s first victory gained. But now comes the sad part of the story. The Juniors, colleagues of the year jirevious, made a most disastrous invasion of Eastern territory, losing by a de- cision of two and one on March 13th to Hampden-Sidney College, followed by a no-decision affair the next night with George Washington University and climaxed the following night by a marginal defeat at the hands of the University of Pitts- burgh before a crowd of some four hundred people in the Senior High School auditorium of Ambridge, Pennsylvania, a Pittsburgh suburb. These upholders of Davidson were Kendrick Pritchett and Bob Grady. DeWolfe Miller being alternate. They debated the negative of the query: Resolved: That the United .States should cease to protect, by force of arms. American capital invested in foreign lands. against George Washington. The negative of the latter ()uery was supported by Pritchett and Grady the last night against Pittsburgh. The Southern team however, was more fortunate. Tyree Dillard and Henry Powell, both members of the Senior Class, although losing to another team of the University of F ' lorida in the first fight of their Southland tour, on March the 20th. by a two to one vote, triumjihed two nights later against the University of the .South by a two to one judge ' s decision, and brought to a glorious end tlieir trip with the first victory in five years over an Emory University team, winning by a tliree to nothing score. In each of these three debates. Dillard and Powell supported the affirmative of the query as used against the University of Florida in the home One hundred fifty-four j QUIPS CRANKS 1928 encounter. Ilanipden-Sidney College and Rutgers University. Bill MeGuire was alternate for this team. March 23rd, the night Dillard and Powell vanfjuished their old Southern rivals from Emory, saw a Davidson team composed of Murray Chris- tian and Lawrence Dumas, T ' rank Daniels, being alternate, defeated by a vote of two to one, the visitors from Rutgers University on the liome floor. The victors argued for the negative of the already niuch-rcfcrred to (luery. Thus, ending as begun — with a defeat, closed a valiant but hcli)less attem))t to master with victories a most extensive program of debates. And. although the debating season of 1928 will go down on record as a failure from the standpoint of wins and losse.s, still that greater objective of placing representative and worthy men to carry on for Davidson was achieved because of the great amount of interest displayed by entrants for the various teams. After all. the season cannot be called a dismal one. Perhaps the Freshmen, in their coming triangular debates with Duke University and the University of North Carolina, will attain more ])raisewortliy objectives. Men selected are: for an affirmative team. Bob Witt and Charles McKethan, with flaither Jenkins as alternate, and the negative team will be Andy Byrd and .lack Mathews, with Charlie Sisson as alternate. The query to be used will in all jiroba- bilitv be the same as that used bv the varsity teams. j t . . ' .

During the interven- ing years there have been many improvements and todaj ' this phase of life at Davidson has come into her own and holds a place of re- • spect on the Hill. In the fall of ' 25 with tlie campus covered l y a blanket of snow an inspection was held. This inspection was to see if Davidson would lie placed on the list of schools to be inspected liy the War Department for Distinguished Rat- ing. So well did the members of the unit enter into this inspection that the recommendation was made. In the spring of ' 26. the federal inspection was held with the result that David- son was placed on the Distinguished Rating for the first time. Davidson is in the fourtli Corps Area and was the lowest in rating that year but having won the distinction against some of the strongest colleges in the South was considered sufficient. Captain Weems was in charge of the post during this period. With Davidson on the list meant that she intended to remain tlure and witii this in view the entire staff worked towards a higher rank.

When the ins])eetion came the Davidson Init was ])rinu(I to make a high record and when the smoke had cleared it was found that Davidson led all schools and colleges in the fourth corps area. From the lowest in 1926 to the highest in 1927 is the record of Davidson in the past two years. When one considers that the competing schools were many of them military schools this record reflects more glory on Davidson. When all reports were sent into Washington it was found that the percentage mad by Davidson was the highest in the fourtli, fifth, and sixth corps areas. These three areas are composed of twenty-six states showing what the record means to members of the Davidson unit. J - te ' . ' f QUIPS 6 CRANKS 1928 COMPANY A In the sumimr tin- annual R. O. T.

In the race for the general efficiency cup Davidson was third. This cup was won by the Citadel and Davidson was only five points behind them and only a fraction of a point away from second place. As a riHr team, the Davidson men placed ' second as a school with S. W. Vance second in individual firing. Lake and Taylor were selected as members of the fourth corps area rifle team to go to Camp Perry to compete for the national record. In the athletic activities of the camp the Davidson representation made a credit- able showing. There were men entered into every event. In wrestling they won first place and in boxing first place was won.

Major Maloney will return this spring to inspect the unit for the Distinguished Rating. From all reports it seems that Davidson will again win the distinction as the battalion sliows a tliorough knowledge of military work. On the day of the return from the Christmas iiolidays, tlie iniit was reviewed by General Davis who is in command of the fourth corps area. The sho ving made that day, according to bystanders, was very creditable. While we can make no prediction as to the outcome of the inspection this spring, it seems from the showing made so far this year that Davidson stands more than a fair chance of repeating her performance. All the army officers stationed at David- son speak in high terms of the work of tlie battalion this year and are looking for Davidson to remain on the list of Distinguish Colleges. BATTALION IN FORMATION One hundred seventy j ATHLETIC QUIPS CRANKS 1928 F 3 ATHLETICS AT DAVIDSON DAV I DSON lias made much progress in recent j ' ears in ath- letics, not only in producing winning teams, hut also in the enlargement of physical equi])ment. which h a s en- couraged particijiation in athletics among the mass of the student hody. But along with this advancement, old athletic ideals and traditions of sports- manship have not disajipeared. Here, the object of athletic contests is the value of the sport itself, and not pri- marily victory. The school is fortunate in having eo.iches who are sympathetic with the Davidson ideals and tradi- tions. And because Davidson men be- lieve in these traditions and ideals of athletics, tiiey are proud of their coaches and of their players who have so well exemplified these things. jt .w.w.- f One hundred seventy-one One liundiLj sevtiUv-two QUIPS 6 CRANKS 1928 m[:: m WEAMEKS OF THE D ir ' ' li.

In these words did Joseph prophesy tlie outeome of Davidson ' s 1927 foothall season back in the days when men built pyramids instead of stadia. The famine of victories was not as complete and devastating as that of tlie Egyptians but the percentage column showed a decided downward drop from tliat of the preceding season. The best adjective to use in describing the outcome of the nine games schedule is fair. Citadel, Florida, Woii ' ord and Elon crashed in succession before the increasing momentum of the Wildcat machine. A heady Wake Forest quarterback stopped the forward motion of that same machine in two plays, whileV. M. I.. State, Caro- lina and Duke reversed its direction and sent it crashing back into the cellar posi- tion of the state championship race. The reason for the failure of the Wildcats to reach their championship destination is obvious to the investigator. Reserve material was wholly and woefully lacking. At the beginning of the season David- son had eleven good players who ripped through the opening games with a de- lightful certainty. Each game exacted its toll of injured stars, however, and mid-season found inexperienced substitutes in their places. The spirit was not lacking, but sj)irit along cannot win football games, (iive the credit to the victors and then consider the Davidson team, who in a j ' ear of famine carried on the fight that a championship aggregation might some day call Richardson field its home again. Also observe tlie two Davidson coaches who in a year of .idversity re- ceived not one word of criticism, a rare event. l)A ' lDSOX 5, CITADEL The fatal pedal extremity of Captain Dick (Irey was the undoing of a fast Citadel team that came to (iastonia to battle the Davidson Eleven. That same ex- One hundred seventy-nine QUIPS CRANKS 1928 tremity had meant victory to the Wildcats no less than iive times during the jjrevious season and now for the last time it produced perfectly. During the second quarter Harrison took the ball on the fifty yard line, slipped inside the opposing end and reached the twenty-fi e yai-d line before being downed. Three more plays placed the ball eight yards nearer the Bulldog goal and from that point it was sent be- tween the uprights by the Davidson Captain. DAVIDSON 1-2. FLORIDA A ponderous driving alligator was no match for a speedier Wildcat when the two met at Gainesville. Fla. Accepted as losers before tiiey set out for the game, the Davidson team gave the tables a complete turn and handed in their most out- standing victory of the year. 12-0 was the final story after Flinn and Grey had wormed their way across the Florida goal line. At the outset the heavier ' Gators ripped through the Davidson line at will and carried the ball sixt} ' yards down the field to the two yard marker. Davidson stiffened and they were forced to pass over the goal. The Florida offense came to an abrupt close at this point and David- son ' s was awakened. Harrison took the post for a twenty-five yard gain to open the attack. Davidson rusiied the ball rapidly down the field for a score and re- peated the process later in the fourtli quarter. Five times they threatened to score, the other opportunities ending as three dropkicks by Grey failed to reach their mark. To pick the stars for Davidson would be a difficult task. The entire team played heads up football such as had not been witnessed by its supporters since the 192() Carolina game. The game was Davidson ' s most successful for gridiron lionors (luring tiie season. DAVIDSON 12, WOFFORD 2. In 1926 a Terrier and a Wildcat had a fracas down in Spartanburg on a field similar to a Georgia road on a hot summer day. In 1927 the symbolic beasts met on that same field converted into a quagmire. The Grey. Nisbet. Harrison trio, ably directed by Wilson, functioned j)erfectly under the conditions and succeeded in shaking enough mud otf of their feet to gallop to two touclidowns and twelve points.

EI.ON Davidson made its first and most sueei-ssful home a])])earanee of the season against Elon. By virtue of its scoreless tie witii Walce Forest tlie Christians com- manded a |)osition of respect and tlie ' Cats went into tlie game jjrimed for a battle, (irey brought an opening five minute deadlock to a close with a fifty vard run through tlie entire Elon team which terminated across tiie goal line. Eroin that moment the game was Davidson ' s and the home team proceeded to pile up three more scores before the grand finale, (irey was at his best for the last time and galloped through the Elon line for a total of almost three hundred yards scoring two of the four touchdowns. DAVIDSON I.f. V. KE FORE.ST 1.3 A Wake Forest quarterback, small of stature but nimble of foot received a punt on his own forty-five yard line and raced through the entire Davidson team for a touchdown. Ten minutes later he repeated tiie process. Those two sentences tell the story of the third consecutive tie game that the Wildcats and Deamon Deacons have played in the last tiiree years. During the first two periods the Davidson team, conceded an easy win by many, was completely sto))ped and twice faced a heavy loss in the second half following Cox ' s two scintillating runs.

The hitherto unruffled goal line of Rich- ardson Field which had been so gloriously guarded by Davidson ' s teams in years past, was marred by the Flying Squadron of V. M. I. when that aggregation marched across it by three well defined paths in help- ing the Wildcats celebrate Homecoming Day.

DAVIDSON 6, STATE 25 The 1SI2T Davidson football team had few six-footers among their number, nor were thev provided with airplanes. As a eonsequence Jack McDowell, the Red Knight of State College, wheeled his aerial circus out of its hangar at Cireensboro Memorial Stadium, took to the air and shot his missle accurately to waiting ac- complices who cavorted across the Davidson goal line no less than four times. State opened its attack early in the game and after an exchange of punts carried the ball eighty yards for a touchdown by means of five plays, three being passes. Davidson came back in the third quarter when two runs by Harrison and Grey carried the ball to the State ten yard marker and Nisbet battered his way across the goal. Davidson sujiporters took renewed hope only to be squelched as two more McDowell heaves resulted in a brace of scores and put the Wildcats out of the running. Unheralded and unsung. Melton.

Six years of con- sistent footliall had almost undone the memory of that event. It remained for a once lowly hut now jjowerful Duke Eleven to force a Wildcat outfit to ajiproach such a humhle jiosition once more. Failing; to crash the Davidson line as expected the I51uc Devils rose to the air and touched the Wildcat defensive weakness, as other teams had discovered it, to amass forty-eight points. Ri])ping and crashing tactics netted the visitors two scores during the first half hut Davidson came hack with an equally crashing offensive to score a touchdown and narrow the Duke lead to seven points. The story of the remaining touchdowns is the story of comj)leted ])asses from the fingers of Buie.

With a comparatively small team chosen from a rather scanty squad of players, Davidson made a creditable showing against much larger schools, the ability and worth of whose teams was recognized, and reflected honor on herself even in her defeats. Nor were these defeats many, for out of the sixteen games played during the season Davidson won nine. The waning hopes of the student body, somewhat disheartened by some early season losses, were given new life by a string of mid- season victories. Spurred on to even greater eiforts by this defeat and by the memory of an early defeat at the hands of Guilford, the team finished the season by a splendid victory over Wake Forest and Guilford on their home court in one of the most exciting games of the year. The usual curtain-raiser, played before the Christmas holidays, was won from Salisburv Y by a score of 47 to 4.3, Davidson having come from behind in the second quarter to tie tlie score by the end of the half. m n III 9 i r - WO: One hundred eiglity-eight 1 QUIPS CRANKS 1928 CAPTAIN WILSON Kiij tlir. iiit li IIK (luring l)iit th Irinii tliri This first victory was followed by three discouraging losses on the home floor. The first of these defeats was administered by a smoothly working team from Duke to the tune of 46 to 27. Pritehett and Wilson bore the hruiit of the attaek, while Crawford did well at guard and scored 7 points to boot. Next Furman came and conquered by a score of 33 to 25 in a game played on Krida_v the 13th. Captain Wilson ' s stellar guarding and Pritchett ' s shooting were the features of the game. The last of tliis trio of conquering invaders was Guilford, who won her game by the heart-breaking score of 28 to 2(5. In all three of these contests Wilson was the mainstay of the Wildcats. The game with Wofford marked the end of the losing streak which had jiroven so disastrous to the Wildcats. Davidson ' s fortunes seemed to have changed. Elon followed Wofford to Davidson and in a spectacular and thrilling game almost snatched a victory from the Wildcats. ]5iit after the score had stood at a tie four times and when the result was still verj ' doubtful, the last thirty seconds of play wliieh gave the Cats a e game s;ifely away. Then the Wildcats invaded Salis- r second contest of the season with tiiat ti;im tiie vii ' tors HEWLETT t hundred eighty-nine QUIPS CRANKS 1928 McAULAY PRITCHETT I)V a 17 to 44 score. The last of this quartet of victories was won from Lenoir- Rhyne at Davidson with the Cats holding the larger end of the 40 to 22 score. Starting out on an extended trip the team next met Citadel in Charleston. Though Davidson managed to end the first half at a tie, Citadel drew away from them dur- ing the second half to overcome the two point lead, which the Cats gained early in this period, and win 39 to 30. The reaction came in the next game when the Wild- cats overwhelmed the team of the College of Charleston in a 57 to 29 victory. Again the tables turned, however, and two more losses followed this win, as Davidson lost to Clemson and Furman by scores of 35 to 24 and 32 to 27 respectively. In the last of the five games played on this southern trip the Wildcats succeeded in win- ning from Wofford by a rather nice margin. Wake Forest next invaded the Wildcat lair. In what was probably the best exhibition of basket ball seen on the Davidson Court during the season the Cats de- cisively defeated the Deacons, 51 to 27 being tlie final score. Honors in this game go to the whole team, for they all were on the job all the time, passing, shooting, dribbling, and guarding more skillfully and more successfully than they had done befo re during the year. After this great victory in their last game at home, the Cats left to meet Duke and Guilford in the final games of the season. Duke captured the first game by a 51 to 33 score. Tlie Wildcats, however, were not to be denied the privilege of draw- ing last blood. When they met Guilford, at whose hands they had suffered an earlier defeat, they were back in their old stride once again and gained a 30 to 27 victory after a very close and exciting game. One hundred ninety Jl .- . .-df QUIPS CRANKS 1928 Captain Wilson, Harrison, Hewlett, and McAulywere the veteran players who were haek in uniform this season. Wilson, more de- pendalile than ever, played a great game at center as he led his team in their games. He frequently gained the applause of the audience as lie broke up the shots of the opponents with his long arms or dropped one of his spectacular throws through the basket. One hundred and sixty points scored was his record, placing him second in individual scoring for the season. Harrison and Hewlett played a neat game together as guards, successfully guarding the Davidson goal and at the same time flashing through occasionally to scon- by a spectacular shot. Pritchett was the high scorer of the season. A valuable floor man and a dependable and accurate shot, he lived up to the ex- pectations tiiat his work on the freshman team the previous year had given rise to. McAulay and Kugler filled tiie other forward position admirably and deserve much credit for their performances there. Crawford rendered much valuable service as a reserve guard.

McAulay w;is varsity catcher during the season and made a most efiicient job of it. The team was unusually successful in their games with out of the state teams, winning every one of these encounters, but struck Tartars in most of the Tar Heel teams they played.

Besides the four dual meets, the team entered men in the Tech Relays at Atlanta and the season closed with the State meet at Greensboro. Captain Jolin ( iirric was tin- individual st.ir of tin- team, although other men were outstanding, particularly Whittle and I.eftwicli. Two college records were liroken during the year. Whittle lowering the school record in the low hurdles, while Dan Leftwicli broke his own record in the shot ])ut. These two men were lirilliant performers all during the season, liill Bailey tied the college record in tlu- pole vault. The season opened at Davidson when N. C. State downed the Cats 73 to 53 because of their superiority in distance and weight events. Currie and Whittle each won two first places, and Kell in the 440, Gardner in tiie high jump, Leftwich in the shot put and Bailey in the pole vault were other Davidson men who won first pl. ' iees.

Currie was the individual star, winning three first places in the daslies while Brummitt, the Duke star, set new school records in two events. Whittle also featured, capturing two first places in the hurdle events. The Tech relays at Atlanta were disappointing, due chiefly to the bad weather. Heath Whittle was the only Davidson athlete to break into the scoring column, taking second place in the 220 low hurdles. The University of Indiana team featured the meet, which was attended by teams from all over the country. The Wildcats broke into the win column when they amassed 85 points against Wake Forest ' s 41 on the latter ' s field. The entire Davidson team showed up well in this meet. Probably the most exciting meet of the season was the final one of the season, with the University of South Carolina when the Wildcats emerged victorious by a score of 69 1-2 to 56 1-2, by scoring eight points in the last event of the day. Captain Currie was again high scorer, with 15 points won in his three specialties. Stigler, of Davidson, placed first in the 880, Ely in the mile. Whittle in the 120 high hurdles, and Brown won first place in the 220 low hurdles and Ueftwich took first honors in the shot put. At the state track meet in Greensboro the team made a splendid sliowing, scoring 27 points with only thirteen men at the meet. The University of North Carolina team won first place with 59 points and Duke came second with 10. State, Guilford, Wake Forest and High Point trailed Davidson in order.

Inni.Ircd five QUIPS y CRANKS 1928 WBESTLING, 1928 B LOSING their inattli with the Duke team on February 2.5th the wrestling team of 1928 just missed making for themselves an immortal place in the annals of Davidson wrestling. By winning this match the Duke team won the state championship and laid a hardly disputable claim to superiority among the Southern colleges. Up until this point the record of the Davidson team had been a record of wins, with the exception of a heartbreaking loss to the Cadets of V. M. I., and supporters of the Wildcats were in high hopes of a state title. However, despite the fact that this match precluded the chance of a champion- ship, the season of 1928 will be remembered as one of the most successful in Davidson wrestling. In the first collegiate match of the season the Wildcats won a close but extremely satisfying victory over the University of North Carolina by CAi ' iAiN GARRISON a scorc of 131 2 to 7I 2. During the entire match neither team registered a fall but the Davidson men succeeded in gaining four time decisions to Carolina ' s two, while one match was a draw. In the most interesting bout of the evening Captain Garrison of Davidson opposed Captain Abbott of Carolina and missed obtaining a time decision by only a few seconds. The first days of February saw the team treking into Virginia for two matches in Lexington. In the first meet the V. M. I. team gained a victory in a close and exciting match. Davidson secured the only fall of the evening when Christenbury wrestling in the unlimited class threw Haasc of ' . M. I. The final count was 133 2 to 91 2. Two days later the team redeemed themselves by winning a decisive victory over Washington and Lee, 17 to 8. Flythe, Brown, Captain Garrison and Hill all won their matches on time and Herriott secured a fall over Davis. On February 2.5 Davidson met the strong Duke team in Durham and were forced to accept the small end of a 20-3 score. The Duke team showed themselves clearly superior and won six matches, five on time and one by a fall. Davidson ' s only win being chalked up by Captain Garrison when he won over Jennings on time. Al- though they lost the match, the Wildcats put up a stiff fight in every match and won the admiration of the spectators. This meet destroj ' ed Davidson ' s chances for a title but by no means dampened their spirit for the last match. Ending the season in a fine exhibition of strength and stamina, the team won over North Carolina State in a clear-cut 17 to 8 victory. Tiie Davidson wrestlers secured one on a forfeit and Hill won over Day by a fall, bringing Davidson ' s total to 17. In this the final match of the year the Wildcat grapplers showed perhaps their most powerful work of the year and put a very satisfying finish to a successful season. A review of the 1928 season shows it to be one of the most successful in David- son ' s five years of wrestling. W ith only three letter men back the pre-season Two hundred QUIPS CRANKS 1928 prophecies were extremely gloomy but due to the wealth of material and the hard work of Coaches Tilson and Patterson, a scrappy, well balanced team was pro- duced and they achieved a record of whicli any school may well he ])roud. Captain Oarrison, the only man to l)c lost by fjraduation led his men through a splendid season and ended his collegiate wrestling career by retaining his record of never having lost a match in his weight. His work was of the highest order throughout the season. Hill and Flythe of the Junior Class continued their splendid work in their second se.ison of wrestling.

In reality it is only the be- ginning. For four glorious years you have lived in the midst of the traditions and the ideals of Davidson College. They have woven tiicmselvcs inextricably into the fabric of your character. Now you go out from the College, eyes dimmed and heart heavy over the parting that you have dreaded. Now comes the era of ex- perimentation. In contact with the grim realities of life you will test whether the things taught you on the campus and in the classroom are as infallible and as worthwhile as they have been painted. No longer as a student groping for an ideal, but as an alumnus signify- ing the personification of an ideal. You will henceforth be the most consistent advertisement of the institution which you like to call Alma Mater. You will be a sort of human signboard proclaiming to the world that Davidson makes men. Your successes and your attainments will reflect glory on the College. Your failures will do it irreparable harm. Up to this time you have been in the position of a receiver, accept- ing freely the gifts that the institution had to bestow. In the future the relationship will be reversed. Never lose sight of the fact that Davidson needs your loyalty and your devotion. Never cease to cherish the ideals and the traditions which it boasts. Above all things do not let your interest in its welfare and its progress want. The alumni association is yours. We welcome you into it, and offer our assist- ance in perpetuating the bonds of love and reverence that now bind you so closely to the institution. We wish each of you success and happiness in your life work, and shall expect you to return to tiie campus frequently during your days as an alumnus. David.son College Alumxi Association. ji .w. ' .
