The highest attestation of their ability and character is to he found in the ideals and traditions of Davidson and in the men pro- duced by her. This year a new department has been added to the courses in instruction, Physical Education, with Crptain N. G. Pritchett as instructor. In the Department of Mathematics a new professor, Professor J. T. Kimbrough, was added in this year. Captain Daughtcry, head of the Department of Military Science and Tactics, left last year but we were very fortunate in having Colonel V. R. Scott as his successor. The details arising under the rules and policies of the faculty are cared for by the Execu- tive Committee of the Faculty. Members of this committee are: Dr. William J.

J STUDENT GOVEKNMENT Run Kei.i. Prfsidnil of ihc Sludci A RECENT survey of American Colleges and universities revealed the fact that Davidson College led all other institutions in the amount and purposiveness of actual student governing and administration, with faculty control and jurisdiction in student affairs at a minimum. Of the above situation Davidson men are rightly and truly proud. Certain it is that in cvcrv field of student activity and extra- curriculum endeavor the students enjoy sole privileges and opportunities. Nor has this been granted without reason. If the ques- tion should arise as to why this condition, ideal we prefer to call it, exists the answer would be after this fashion : that Davidson men are gentlemen, who possess the ability to assume responsibilities, which responsibi- lities are given spirit and life through the medium of the Honor System, an institu- tion as old as the college itself. The governing board of students, elected by vote of the four classes, is the Student Council, having seven members chosen from the Senior class, four from the Junior class, and three and one from the Sophomore and Freshman classes, respectively. The Presi- dent of the Student Body serves as presi- dent of the Council. There are also elected by the student body two Vice-presidents and a Secretary and Treasurer. Although the duties of the Student Coun- cil range from supervision of elections to such appointments as chiefs of the Publi- cation Board, Court of Control and Student Store, nevertheless, its main po wer rests in its interpretation and jurisdiction in cases arising mider Article IV of the Constitution of the Student Government of Davidson College. This article relates to the three matters of cheating, stealing and lying. Needless is it to say that because of the unanimous intent and co-operation of the students, infractions of this article are rare indeed. Officers of the student government for the present year were : R. E. Kell, presi- dent : C. R. Pritchett and T. W. Brohard, vice-presidents ; and H. S. Covington, sec- retary-treasurer. 1 ' Krn.iiKTT Cll I.Nl, II i. ( ■ s ' m m THE CLASSE utrngrnxm • [thirtv-one] a  «?fa1?%  SENIOR CLASS HISTORY MiiKKOK Gii.Moru Prcsidciil of the Senior Class PREPARE the toasted marsh- melluws, my lads, and gather round — Professor Salerio has a story to tell us. Now let ' s see it was four years ago, I think, that the class of ' 29 first came to Davidson College and joined the ranks of the noble six hundri-d. Anil since- then, if (iu ' ll pardon the cimtinuation of the meta- phor, we have been stormed at b shot and shell, liut in spite of that, we rather enjoyed it. It was quite a jump frmn high scluiul lo college, and as well as we can remember, most of us landed with a decided bumj). . llhough it may sound funny now, everything was shockingly new to us then — we didn ' t even know the location of the laundry. We felt unutterably foolish in our fresh caps. W ' e didn ' t know how to spot ' ' the professors — we were, in short, plain freshmen. As soon as we found what campus leaders are. we set about following in their footstejjs. The Davidson Senior probably never realizes to what a great extent he is studied by fresh- men. L ' nconsciously, perhaps, but certainly, nevertheless, we picked out our models and entered the various lines of activity that lead to our senior honors. We tried athletics, debates. Y work, publications. Of course many of us failed and were disil- lusicjned before reaching the final goal, but, as Sudermann says, Our youth- ful dreams, for that matter, don ' t C ' i ' t for the purpose of coming true. r. McOt-F.EN There is one night of our freshman vear that we will not soon forget — the night we had our fresh covixoTcix i T hree roiniLi banquet. In those days, -ou know, hrst-vear classes didn ' t do tliat sort of tiling. I ' .ut ' 2 '  did and is proud of it. We had a lot of excite- ment in the course of the evening, so much that, frankly, we didn ' t know what to do with some of it. After- ward, however, we assumed a point- with-pride attitude, and any twenty- niner who didn ' t go to the banquet missed the birth of the sort of class spirit that one reads almnt hut seldom sees. It ' s queer that we don ' t seem to re- member very much about our Sopho- more year. Uf course, we had a big laugh when we saw the in-coming new-boys, ' and wondered if we had looked like that, and, of course, we had another banquet. We recall very little, however, except class work, and exams, and — we blush to think of them — re-exams, at two bucks and a half a throw. We did come up for air long enough to see the Wildcats beat Carolina and breeze through to a foot- ball championship. . s Juniors we ex- perienced the most enjoyable period of our stay at David- son. It is true that a lot of us were re- peating sophomore courses, but aside from that we were Bill Woods Senior Mascot as (|uite happy. In this year w e m e t squarely a problem that other Junior classes h a d ' ' ' ' ' ' ' r u n a w a V from — Junior Speaking. We did away with the old and un- satisfactory system and instituted one of our own that proved ver - nuich of a success. As Seniors we assumed the long- deferred leadership. Occasionally the pleasures of our last year were over- shadowed by the thought that we were soon to leave Davidson. ( )h. we tried to be hard-boiled and sa ' that we were glad to get away, but — we were not so very different from the classes that preceeded us. We wouldn ' t be ef- feminate enough to say we love Davidson College, but we do anyway, and you will find us coming back on Home-coming Day just like the others. We have seen a lot of changes at Davidson — for example, the passing of the Water-out-of- Watts craze and the movies in the gym. And we ' ve seen improvements, such as the comple- tion of New Cham- bers. But when we think of Davidson, we think of the ]irinci])les, the spirit. I he atmosphere of the place, and we know that when we come back — and we still insist that we are coming — -we will find those elements un- changed — and we ' ll be glad for we want them unchanged.

I.IING President of Junior Class IN the fall (if 1926, Davidson won its first state championship in fnot- hall. N ' ith a gridiron machine sur- passing all of previous seasons, and with the excellent coaching of Monk and Tex, the Wildcats dedicated the new Richardson Stadium in triumph. Behind the team in every contest was the loyal support and enthusiastic co- operation of the Studen t Body, in which our class, as Freshmen, were privileged to join. Some two hun- dred new boys, one of the largest classes heretofore to enter Davidson, did their small part to bring victory. Riding the special train to State, and witnessing the final victory at Duke Thanksgiving day, our class offered its lusty support from the stands and sidelines. Shirt tail parades, pep meetings, bonfires — these were the molding influences that gave a full aji- ])reciation of the true Wildcat S]5irit. and a sense of ])ridc in the class of ' 30. . fter its iiflicial debut, cm Januars ' 10, 1927, the class assumed its re- sponsibility as an important part of the Student Body, and we now view with a certain feeling of satisfaction the achievements of the last three years. With tenacity of purpose and a broadening vision, we have upheld high standards, as shown by some of our activities. Four members of the class — Hunt, McConnell, Decamp, and Brohard — have made varsity letters in football, while Pritchett and Johnston were two of the outstanding players on the basketball team. Pritchett was cap- tain of the team this year, and John- ston will lead the Wildcat quintet for 1930. Whittle, Brohard, LafTerty, and Gardner have made letters in track; and Lafferty and Xunan Ln cross country. The class is well rep- resented in wrestling, Christenbury, l .rown. Brohard. and Warren win- ning the D . Christenbury is cap- tain of the grapplers for ne.xt year. Johnston and Halverstadt are on the tennis team, and Greyer is captain of the rifle team. Nor has the class been behind in scholastic attainments, with some ten men on the Honor Roll. In [one iu ' NDRFi) roi ' ii] forensic activities also, the class has made a very creditahle record. In de- hating Christian, AlcC.uirc. Marsh, hong ' . I ' ritchett. and Miller have wnn ])laces on the arsit} . Alan Frew, after winning the Stale ( )ratorical Contest, placed third in the National Contest at Los Angeles. A large part of the Glee Club is composed of Juniors ; and in religious, journalistic, and other activities, the class has done equally well. Several important precedents were set by our class. We were the first to be granted the privilege of removing the 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 treasury, the money to be used for (lefra ' ing expenses our senior year. After the rough horse-play of Soph Day our Freshman year, the class voted to ai)olish the annual custimi as it was ihen celebrated. As a fitting climax to the juniur year, the class entertained the Student Body during Junior Week End with a varied and very enjoyable program, under Zeb Long as chairman. Class officers for the Freshman year were : Frew, president ; De- Arinon. vice-president ; and Long, secretary and treasurer. The Sopho- more officers were : Pritchett, presi- dent; Brohard, vice-president; and Brown, secretary and treasurer. Long was selected to lead the class during the Junior year ; Whittle was elected vice-president ; McGuire, secretary and treasurer ; and E 1 d 1 e m a n . historian. ® ICIIDI.IC.MAN [one hundred six] JOHN LOWRANCE BROWN Hendersonville.

M. C. A. l)ui ldin . It was a minified feeling ' of tager antieipatioii and at the same time one of indecision, that we took this first step of the fearful term matriculation. Maving received here identification tags, which, otherwise known as nanie- l)lates, were pinned on our coats, we proceeded to the soon-to-he famous Student ' s Store and obligingly pur- chased a small, somewhat peculiar cap (if a light red color. We were asked to wear these. . ' (i v thiiriiu,i;hly ]ir(ittHled against nfistaken identilw we signed up for a few courses as a sideline to our Col- lege education. Then followed a series of interesting and helpful lectures, and. having already- signed up ;it aliout twehe different Imarding houses, vc were |ir mnunciMl matriculated. We di milted this not. whate ' er it he. . ltliougli not an official member as a class of the student l)ody as vet, ' .M ne ertheless took an active part in var- ious and sundry activities. Included in these were pep-meetings, football games, shirt-tail parades and classes. Clinging to tradition, the numerals ?i were soon flaming on both water- tanks. With the exception of a fairly suc- cessful football season for the Fresh team, the remainder of the time passed uneventfully until the second week in January. The time had now come for the class of ' 31 to be officially included in the student body, and this was ef- fected l)y the election of the following men as class officers: Dean Rusk, President; Hub Covington, ' ice- President ; anfl Pete Glidewell, Secre- tary-Treasurer, We were now ready to make Davidson and even the Sophs proud of us. ( )ur basketball team experienced a season somewhat sinnlar to that of the football squad, they won no champion- ship but were, nevertheless, above the average. [one hundkkd sixteen] m ' I ' lien came spring and ahmt;- with it April 10, which was to go down in the histnry ul Davidson as one of the most memorahle days of that year — becansc it was Soph Day. We got together and decided to entertain them as best we could, . an • highly-applauded and well-delivered stunts were give n throughout the afternoon, and to cli- ma.x the day, we burned our fresh caps in a big bonfire that night. After that the Rides and Regulations For Fresh- men were withdrawn one by one until we were jiractically lil erated. The debating team had siiown up well against their opponents, and very satisfactory seasons had been com- pleted by the baseball and track squads. Then came final examinations and the first milestone in our college career was passed. Most of us who started completed our first year ; but it was with a feel- ing of deep regret and loss that we were informed of the death of Scott Reid Knox, Jr.. who died at his home in February of 1928. There are 134 of us back this year. Nine Sophs had lierths on the football sipiad. six are on the basketball squad ;inil it is expected that there will be more than the average per cent on the baseball and track teams. Seven mem- bers of the class aspire to the varsity debating teams, and a larger number are working fur the annual and C(jllege |ia])er static. Under the ])resent ofiicers. ' 31 is striving onward with a feeling of ear- nest anticipation and joy to that day when the caps and gowns are donned : I ' ete Glidcwell, President; Archie .McLean, ' ice-President ; Bob Gillam.

We were 233 strong and came with the dignity of high school seniors. Our modes of travel were varied, but we all landed safely in the arms of Minerva. On our arrival, upper classmen conducted us to the Y Room where we received name plates in order that acquaintances might be made more easily. From here we were conducted to the Student Store where we were given new headgear, which later had a tendency to become smaller w-hen exposed to the elements. With the red and black c;:ps we were given megaphones through which we were to do our loudest yelling wliile at school, and also given our pic- tures artistically sketched in green. On these pictures were printed the laws and regula- tions, which we were to faithfully execute as meek and lowly freshmen. Most of us have observed these laws to the letter and all have displayed their red and black caps on every occasion. With our equipment, we were presented with a badge which show- ed our rank — the five times a week we an- swered to the call of arms and could not wear our fresh caps. Soon after our arrival we were cordially welcomed by the Y, and after being ex- posed to the Wildcat Spirit for a few days and lieing made to feel that we were really a part of the Student Body, we endeavored to live up to the spirit shown by our prede- cessors. Class spirit was not lacking, as it reached a high degree in the middle of the year when several freshmen endeavored to float the class numerals alwve the heads of all. We soon found that our rank did not permit such an exhibition, and consequently our numerals stayed up for only a short time. In athletics ' 32 has shown itself to have a good bit of varsity material. In football the Wildkittens had a fairly successful sea- son; and, as basketball is just under way, it is difficult to prophecy as to the skill of ' 32 in this branch of athletics, although the prospects are good. Our time and talents have not been de- voted to athletics alone for we have burned a considerable amount of midnight oil. The majority survived the mid-year examinations and since the honor roll has not been up, we do not know the number that made it. The Class, as a whole, has shown interest in literary work. ] lany have allied them- selves with literary societies and have there demonstrated their skill in writing and speaking. Those at the helm of 32 were R. A. Hall, president; R. F. Norton, vice- president; and E. Z. Dubose, secretary and treasurer. Thirty-two is going to endeavor to be worthy of the principles for which our .Alma jMater stands and win in everything for the honor of old Davidson. [one hundred twenty-six] m mm m COUET or CONTMOL Raymond Lake Judge of the Court IT is reported that in the gay Nineties and even in more modern times, upperclassmen at Davidson indulged in the glorious practice of hazing Freshmen. However, in the year of 1923, the Student Body hecame rather serious minded, ;nd held a meeting to put away such childish things. The result of this meeting was that hazing was abolished at Davidson, and a Court of Control was ap- pointed to retain some form of control over the Freshmen. The Court of Control is appointed every year by the Student Council. Its function is to regulate and control the Frosh in the ir con- tacts with the men of the upper classes, and to see that the first year men obey the rules and traditions which concern the conduct of Freshmen. This year ' s Court functioned exceptionally well, and is to be commended for the manner in which it handled a number of rather diffi- cult situations when the Freshmen suddenly discovered the beauty of their class numerals and adorned the campus with a somewhat superfluous number of them. This year ' s Court was presided over by Judge C. R. Lake. The members were W. M. Regen, H. A. Knox, and T. E. Hill, of the Senior Class; A. H, Whittle and L. A. Mills, of the Junior Class ; and Dean Rusk and H. S. Covington of the Sophomore Class. [one nuNDUKi) twentv-seven] U( mvM mKi )c: -m FRESHMAN CLASS JAMES ALONZO ABERNATHY III Winter Haven, Fla.

C. 1 Ksiiii;nt Oi ' iici; (ii- THI-; U-Nir AS the Spirit of Davidson reviews the work of the past year, it may write across the report of the R. O. T. C. depart- ment the words ' another successful year. ' Starting with a few seasoned Seniors and Juniors, a sophomore clr ss of one year ' s training, and a lot of green Freshmen, the department has turned out a wcll-roun led unit, worthy to he listed anior.g tlinse schools honored with distinguished rating. Preparation was hegun during the sum- nur preceding this .school year. Members ■ if the rising senior class attende ] summer tr iining camp, that they might h: ' better instructed to carry on the high strndard of unrk set for them. As has been the case in the past few summers, the men representing Davidson at Camp .McCIellan and at other camps, ac(|uitted themselves exceptionally well, not only in a military way, but also in the athletic events staged. Especially good work w; s done in swimming and boxing, in w hicli two events the Davidson team ])laced high in the running. At the beginning of the school year the unit swung into immediate action. The student officers were headed by Cadet- . lajor King, who was ably s ipported by Cadet Captains Fliim, Archie. Reaen, C.ant, Geer, Kirkland, and Martin. These men I UK Majuk . .Ntj His Stait [ONK IlfNI)IU:i) TIlIHTY-KKillT] 1 : m handled their charges with expert aliihty and are true exponents of good training. The army officers stationed at Davidson are characterized by their ability to change green men into well-trained soldiers, their interest in all school activities, and a high St; ndard of morals. Their efficiency is not questioned, for one cannot buck cold facts. During the past year Colonel Scott, who came to Davidson at the beginning of this year, was promoted to the rank of Lieu- tenant-Colonel, while Captain Otto came up from the rank of Lieutenant during this same year. These facts furnish posi- tive proof that these men arc doing their work well. Captain Elkins and Lieutenant Pieckett have been with us several years and are looked upon not only as good ofificers, but as friends by all Davidson men. Interested at all times in what Davidson is doing and ready to lend a helping hand, these men have become very popular at Davidson, and have done a great deal towards more firmly establishing R. O. T. C. at Davidson College. At the first of the year the on-Iookers viewed the companies A, B, C, D, and the band with somewhat of a skeptical eye, watching the antics of the uninitiated and wondering if by chance they would develop into another Distinguished Rating unit. As the days passed the band came to be recog- nized as the best in several years, and as if in tune to it. the companies began, and continued to develop into a seasoned unit. Company B. led by Capt: in . rchie, was probably the consistently best on the field. However, the third platoon of Company C carried off honors for Captain (jant by its splendid work throughout the year. Much competition was evident among the men, and this was a certain way of making the best of the department. Much credit is due the band and the splendid work done by those who developed it. This organization put life into every parade and deserves much of the credit for the success of the R. O. T. C. department. KIFLE TEAM The rifle team (if the Davidsdii R. ( 1.

IUUTV-N ' INk] omR€itettAnK:s ' STANDING OF THE UNIT VERY seldom dn wc sec a scliool that is a success in nearly everything it undertakes. And yet, Davidson is such a school. This is made evident hy the fact that Military Science at Davidson, a non- military school, has equaled in its efficiency practically all the schools in the South. One would think that the success of Mili- tary Science where only a limited amount of time can be allowed it would be very meager. Not so at Davidson. In 1927 the highest record made by any school in the Fourth, Fifth, and Si.xth Areas, embracing twenty-six states, was credited to Davidson. Success docs not come as a result of luck. If you have ;:ny doubt you might ask Col- onel Scott, Captains Weems, Daugherty. Elkins, Otto, Lieutenant Beckett, or any of the other officers who have worked so dili- gently and successfully to bring Davidson up to such a high standard. By the combined efforts of the army officers stationed here, the whole-hearted efforts of the student body, and the fine co- operation of the school, the Reserve Officers Training Corps at Davidson was granted Distinguished Rating for the first time in 1926, It is true that in that year Davidson made the lowest record of any school in the contesting areas, llowexer, when one looks back over the obstacles overcome and the progress made this may be regarded as a notable success. Nevertheless, not being satisfied with merely gaining such a worthy place. Captain Weems set about to go higher with his charges, . ' fter another year of diligent work it was found that Davidson had made the best record in the South. Due to the fact that the inspection for 1928 was made the day after returning from holidays, the battalion was not able to make as impressive a showing as in the preceding year. Yet, under such a handicap, they did well enough to gain the coveted Distin- guished Rating for the third successive time. R. O. T. C. has served a double purpose besides training the students to be ready in case of war. It has taken Davidson ' s name to places where it has never been before. The magnificent record made in 1927 was held up before all the military schools of the country. The drilling has also furnished a means for keeping the bodies of the stu- dents fit. Many boys who would have been unable to take exercise otherwise have been kept in good condition, thus enabling them to do better work in school. il4 i1? :L. J ' n ' ' ■l!

COACH TEX THLETICS have been and prciliahly will re- main for years to come one of the ])rin cipal ways in ' which Davidson fl ft makes itself known H H in the outside world. ■ H Other forms of B 1 student activity are V able to make them- ' i ' I selves known to a limited nunihcr of oliservers but it is certain that the Athletic teams w li i c h represent Davidson on numberless fields and coints are the most real and tangible means of showing thd world what Davidson means. Keeping stride w i t h Davidson ' s marked material progress in c(]ui]inient and the forward steps in improved curriculum and faculty. Davitlson ' s athletics have gone forward too and Davidson ' s teams have in the last four years made her known in fields and in sections of the country where she was unknown before. Football has been the main contributor. The State Championship team of 1926 was her- alded all over the East as a smart, smooth team and individuals of that team were honored by papers all over the south. In the fall of 1927 a much less successful team still added honor to its Alma Mater with a startling de- feat of Florida and gave sports writers all over the south something to medi- tate upon. The team of 1928 while it failed to win more than two games upheld the worthwhile records of spirit lACll MONK and sportsmanship which its predeces- sors had set. Accomplishments in other sports, while less numer- ous have yet been of sufficient great- ness to bring the name of Davidson before a large cir- c 1 e o f observers. The stellar work of C u r r i e, Goody- k o o n t z , P e n n . Whittle and others in Track has put t h e m among the best athletes in the state and in favor- a b 1 e comparison with the best in the south. Currie brought a great honor upon Davidson with that memorable run in Greensboro in which he tied the world ' s record for the 100 yard dash, and has continued his re- markable work since. In Basketball, XN ' restling, and F)aseball. teams of smart, clean players have represented Davidson truly to the sporting world. This year has seen the forward v o r k in Athletics continued I n Coaches Younger and Tilson David- son has what a famous southern coach calls the two smartest young coaches in the south. ' Through a slump in the material with which they work these men have been able to keep their heads hi.gh and have instilled into their teams the fight which David- son men love to acclaim. Thoroughly in sympathy with the spirit and ideals of the student body they are perman- ently established in the hearts of fac- ultv, students and alumni alike. [one hundred fiftv-si.x] • D Club Twu notaljle additions to tiie coach- ing staff were made this year. Buck Miles, former V. P. I footljall captain a n d all-sonthern wrestler c a ni e to coach Freshman footl)all and varsity wrestling. Capt. Norton G. I ' ritchett, former director of athletics at Wood- berry Forest School, accepted the position of Di- rector of Physical Education and head c oa c h of track. Rated as one of the best track coaches in the South, Cap- tain Pritchett is a valuable addition to Davidson ' s staff and will no doubt mark the beginning of a greater success in track and field athletics. CAPT. PRITCHETT The Department of Physical Education is a new thing at Davidson. Under the leadership of Captain Pritchett a real effort is being made to get every man at Davidson into some form of physical exercise. Three hours of exercise per week is required of all Juniors and Seniors who do not take R. O. T. C, and exceptions are made in the cases of the men who go out for the major athletic teams. The men who are tak- ing the stated ex- ercises are required to fill out cards regularly and thus complete records are kept of the phy- sical activities of every man. An esti- mate of the good that this new de- coach miles [one IIUNDUKI) kii ' tv-seven] mimtr fmm i - r HHSSi f -fir ' ' ir ' ii .CllSjLil SHi B RiCHAUDboN Field partment is doing cannot yet be made but tbere is every hope that the physi- cal welfare of Davidson men will be continually on the upgrade from this year. The future of Athletics is not a matter to be prophesied with any de- gree of certainty. Increasing compe- tition between colleges for athletes of merit, the disproportionately large sums of money which are spent in the providing of athletic teams in the larger institutions and Davidson ' s firm determination to stick to her tradi- tional ideals in athletics are all factors which must be taken into considera- tiiin by those who would prophesy.

[one hundred sixty] m THE FOOTBALL SEASON MANAGER MArz VriEWED from the coldly statistical • point of games won and lost and points accumulated the 1928 season was probably one of the worst through which a wildcat foot1)aU team ever played. Judged, however, by the standards which Davidson men have ever loved to set for their teams the team of 1928 was one of the finest and most gal- lant teams that ever represented Davidson. Winning only two games, and those two the ones which are sometimes termed set- ups, the Wildcats played through a heavy schedule which included many of the best teams in the South Atlantic states. Admir; tion and praise were heaped upon this team not because they won but because of the way they lost. With admirable cour- age and spirit the team worked each week for the game ahead of them, forgetting the ones that were behind. It was not a championship team; it was a team which lost games all too frequently but one which lost the sympathy and admiration of the spectators never, the outstanding ex- ample of how a team can lose and yet win. DAVIDSON 27, GUILFORD On their home field in their first battle, the Wildcat team tore through Guilford, to end up in the final period on the long end of the score. Davidson threatened in the first few minutes of play. Flinn took the ball on a line plunge, and then carried it the remaining thirty to the scoring point. The next tally came in the third quarter. The last two touchdowns were made in the final quarter by Brohard and McCall, with McMillan making the first one possible by a punt returned fifty yards. DAVIDSON 0, CLEMSON 6 What was thought of by the majority of Clemson ' s supporters as a set-up for the Tigers turned out to be one of the toughest grmes which that finished team fought through all season. When ten minutes of the third quarter had passed and David- son ' s goal line was still uncrossed it seemed almost miraculous. David- son ' s green, light team was playing one of the most gallant defensive games that a Davidson team ever played. Only once did Clemson score. In the last minutes of the third quarter they ran the ball to the Davidson four-yard line and there massed their huge weight for four times against the center of the wild- cat line to no avail. Brock ' s kick out was short and on the next play a pass to Asbill was CAl ' TAIN BAKEK [one hundted sixty-one] [one lUN ' DUKl) SIXTY -two] [ONK HUNDRED SIXTy-TIlREE] [one HUNDRKD SIXTV-I ' OI ' r] r m their old army tactics in order to finally win 13-0. The game was the sort that makes Wildcat history. Doped to lose by numer- ous touchdowns the Davidson team put in a busy afternoon spilling the fleet V. M. 1 backs and the best Virginia dope-pots with equal precision. The Cadets, forced by the soggy ball to keep to the earth, in the main, secured one score on a Wildcat fumble and the other on a plunge following a long pass in the last minutes of play. Davidson showed flashes of offensive power but it was in the defensive play of Riggs McConnell and Walter Fraley that they showed their best ability. The punting of Brock and Coving- ton was not only highly creditable on the wet field but proved useful on several occasions. DAVIDSON 7, STATE 14 For the second Saturday in succession the Wildcats played football that even their most optimistic supporters would not have prophesied for them two weeks before and heaved a monkey wrench just short of the State Championship machinery. After a few minutes of experimentation the Wolf pack got busy and passed their way to a touch- down in the first minutes of play. I told [one Ht ' NDRED SI. TY-FIVe] you so tongues began to wag but were quickly silenced when a Wildcat pass was toyed with by a half dozen hands and finally came to rest in the sturdy arms of Riggs McConnell who bore it hurriedly to the four yard line. The ' Pack held the Cats for three downs but on the fourth Flinn slipped through for the touchdown. Thus the score remained although in the last quarter Flinn wriggled through tackle again and with perfectly formed interference ran for what Davidson hastily dubbed a touch- down but which failed to count since the whistle hr.d blown. The validity of it all is a matter for discussion but at that the state papers were high in praise of the plucky Wildcats. D.WIDSON 7. NORTH CAROLINA 30 Meeting a foe of acknowledged power and unencouraged by their own mediocre record, the Wildcats faced Carolina on homecoming day with defiant determination. Fighting with uncanny skill and power the Wildcats managed in the first half to hold the powerful Tar Heels to one touch- down, repulsing them beautifully on numer- ous occasions and also managed to put over a touchdown themselves, kicking the goal and leaving the field at the half, ahead by a point. D COVINGTON KERR Worn out by the terrific exertion of the lirst half and un;;ble to reinforce their ranks with capable reserves, they, nevertheless, scrapped to the end with a spirit that won for them the admiration of every fan in the crowd that ta. ed Richardson field to capac- ity. Davidson men left the field not with the memory of a crushing defeat but of a hr: ve smart team and a spirit that is immor- tal at Davidson. DAVIDSON 0, DUKE 33 With Davidson the only obstacle to pre- vent Duke from meeting Carolina for the State Championship, the Blue Devils crushed the Wildcats in the Thanksgiving Day game. Duke scored the first touchdown with- in the first seven minutes of play, and to put the game on ice, proceeded to score two more touchdowns during the first half of the game. The Wildcats put up a good fight against a stronger, faster, and better team. .-Mthough completely outclassed from the start Davidson did not cease fighting until the game was over. During the second half Davidson held Duke to two touch- downs, both of them coming in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter Davidson threw a scare into the Blue Devils, by un- corking a powerful drive that tookoff from the center of the field, deep into Duke terri- tory, but the end of the game took from the Wildcats what seemed to be a certain score. [one hundued si. ty-six] [one ihnuiiei) sixty-seven] 1 - r- RAV FARKIS itanding for Caro Davidson stands into an uproar of enthu- siasm, and as the red-jersied warriors trotted down the field, the thrill of anticipation seized young student and old graduate alike. It was their team, and with it went tlieir fondest hopes. Carolina looked heavier, more experienced, more confident, but what were odds to a Davidson team? Because it was a Davidson team which the Tar Heels were meeting, there would surely lie a battle. That battle began. Thrusting the comparatively tiny David- son men aside, the powerful Blue and White machine ground its way deep into Wildcat territory. Beaten back once, they came again and again, until, finally, Ward punch- ed the weary Davidson line for the first score of the contest. Were the Wildcats going to tie the count? Carolina braced and held the rejuvenated Cats for three downs. Then a beautiful pass, Kell to Brock, was good for a touchdown. Brock ' s placement kick was perfect. It was im- possible — Davidson was wliipping Carolina — that little red team had swapped blow for blow, and was winning its game. The half ended, and an amazed throng of fans gasped. Coming back with new vigor and plenty of substitutes, Carolina crashed down to David- son ' s one yard line — first down and goal to go. At this point came the greatest and inost inspiring spectacle of the day. Once, twice, three times, the eager Tar Heel backs plunged into the thin red line. Three times were they hurled back by a desperate b;:nd of veritable Wildcats. The fourth and last attempt to break that inspired defense was stopped as four or five red shirted demons literally buried the Carolina plunger. How that team was fighting! Soon, however, a turning point came, Cap- tain Schwartz of Carolina intercepting a pass from Kell on Davidson ' s forty-five yard line. On die ne.xt play, Magner passed to Nash for the winning touchdown. From this point on, Davidson was forced to play a purely defensive game. Handicapped by the lack of reserve material, and tiring rapidly under the terrific strain, Davidson was fighting a losing battle against the ever increasing string of Carolina substitu- tes. Once again, the Cats made a noble stand, holding for downs on their own four yard line, but the air was raining passes, and though her gallant battle never ceased, Davidson was slowly snowed under. Kell and Brock played great football for the Wildcats, and the thin red line was never stronger than in this game. Farris, Nash, and Jackson were outstanding for the University, with the former showing one of the finest defensive games ever seen in this state. [one hundred SI.

State JO Opponents 571 [one hundred seventy] : i BASKETBALL SEASON Manager Wadswohth AN untried team of Wildcat court- men began the 1929 Basketball Season to eventually chalk up the record of ten games won and eight lost. Though not to be considered en- tirely successful, the season was by no means a failure. The season got oflf to a rather poor start, the Wild- cats losing the two openers by rather decisive scores, but in pushing aside the next two opponents much improvement in form was shown. It remained, however, until the game with the Monograms in Charlotte for the cats to show their real ability, the result being that the professionals were hopelessly outcla.ssed. The de- feat of Va. Tech. sonn followed. Duke invaded the Wildcat lair in a mid-season game to furnish perhaps one of the most thrilling games ever plaved on the Davidson court fnjm which the Davidson basket eers emerged a 47 to 40 victor. A too strenuous schedide of si.x games in si.x days, in which the Cats broke even, proved disastrous and left a tired team to close the season with three defeats by Duke, Carolina, and State on three successive nights. The season was opened by an in- vasion of the Purple Hurricane of Furman, the invaders increasing a 28-26 at the end of the first half to the final defeat of 55 to 40. Captain Pritchett lead his untried team with a high score of sixteen points. In the second apearance at Charlotte against Capt. Hackney and his Carolina five the Wildcats displayed lietter form but were forced to take the lower end of 34 to 21 score. Pritchett again led his team-mates but the bulk of the credit goes to the excellent floor work of Johnston and the combined guard- ing efforts of both Johnston and Coodson. The first victory of the season was realized in the defeat of the ' otiford Terriers on the home court b - the smoothly working Wildcat team. Johnston ' s shooting was the feature of the game, the stellar guard finding the basket for a total of 22 points. [one hundred seventy-one] t Pkitchktt Lenoir-Rli}ne folldwcd ' offol (l lo Davidson onl ' to lie Ijanished by a 39- 26 score in a game that was marked by the excellent guarding of both teams. The Bears found the basket for four points before Davidson looped a single but the threat soon proved an incentive for the Cats to take the lead, only after ties at four, six, and eight- all. Pritchett was death on free throws, sinking five out of six tries. Calhoun was a close second on honors sinking 12 points from some rather doubtful angles. The Wildcat courtmen next de- fended their lair against Elon for the third win of the season after a fast cage battle featured by the rally of Elon which fell short and left David- son with a 41-35 victory. The Elon boys had added seven points to their score in the last minute spurt. Prit- chett and (. ' aihinm led in scoring and were also the night ' s high scorers. The first high spot of the season came in the defeat of the Monograms of Charlotte in which the professional basketeers were hopelessly outclassed. Coach Vounger ' s carefully coached zone defense functioned perfectly and for nine minutes the Charlotte boys did not score. A rally by the Mono- grams gave them a short-lived lead of 9-8 but the Cats ran wild to take the contest 41-27. Glenn Calhoun ' s re- markable shooting gave the Cats the game ; Goodson ' s close guarding was a feature ; and the game was no fluke. In the next game, jjlayed on the home court against V. P. I., Davidson was an easy victor. The score was 28- 12. Calhoun and Goodson perhaps played the best game. Duke was the next opponent to in- vade the ' ildcat lair, but were shot C. r.HouN [one hundred seventy-two] : i mivMjMmxfi - 1939 - - t y ss over, passed by, and dril)l)lcd around, to end the fray with the small end of a 47-40 score. Honors go to the whole team, for without a doubt this game was the best exhibition of basketball seen on the Davidson court during the season. It will be hard to remember the 1929 season without first thoughts turning to the Duke game. Following this great victory, the Cats left to meet Guilford and five Virginia teams in as many days. Guilford was defeated 25-12, and the Cats were equally as successful in their encounter with Y. P. I. at Blacksburg, banishing the Va. Tech. cagers 41-19. Pritchett led scoring honors with thirteen points. Davidson journeyed the next day to Lexington to draw arms against the Cadets of ' ' . M. I., but the schedule y ' ° o ' GooDSON Johnson was proving too strenuous and the Cats dropped the contest by the heartbreaking score of 37-38 after having ended the half with a lead of 18-9. Capt. Pritchett again favored the lucky number, having found the basket for 13 points in two successive games. The Cats then moved across the village the next night only to meet a decisive defeat at the hands of the W. L. Generals. The score was 55-26, Rusk leading Davidson scorers with 8 points. The Cats like- wise lost to Va. but by the closer score of 38-27. Determined not to be com- pletely outdone the Cats defeated L} ' nchburg ?i? -27 to end the Old Dominion grind. After a four day rest the C ts were able to defeat Wake Forest on the home court 38-25. This was the last home game and the last win of (® [one hundred seventy-three] ' QUt KSi the season. The next nit ht the Wild- cats began a trio of shames that prf)ve(l to be the must disastrous of the Wild- cat season as the worn down aggrega- tion fell before Duke 25-23, Carolina 7-45, and State Z2-? 0 on successixx ' nights, meeting each mi ihcir own court. As a result nf this trin of de- feats the Wildcats were then forced to drop from second position in llig iMve rating to the ultimate pcisitimi of fnnrth place. . feature of the team was the scoring of Captain I ' ritchett who amassed a total of 179 points and played a .great game at forward. Cal- houn was a good second fr)r honors. with 141 pdints 1(1 his credit and de- serves nnich for his handling of the other forward position. Johnston and Good.son performed like veterans as guards although both were rather new to varsity competition. Johnston proved a valuable floor man and an accurate shot. Goodson offered a neat defense. Rusk and Wilson played good games at center, with Rusk leading in the number of games played and chalking up a much higher score of points. Shepard and Moore rendered valuable service as forwards, and no little credit is due Crawford and Proctor for their performance as reserve guards. L. C. Wadsworth proved an able manager. P vVIDs„ Rusk [one m NDRED SEVENTV-I ' OUr] 1S3± [one hundhku .sevi:nty-fiye] 4( ntp l mmf •• s- BASEBALL Manager McQueen IF the success of the baseball season for the year of 1929 is to be judged by wins and losses, it will be rather difficult indeed to decide as the annual goes to press. For to date, there have been exactly seven won and seven lost. But whether or not critics agree as to the success of the season and team as a whole, this much is certain. First, that the hitting has been better than last year, even though it has not been excellent — and that the pitching staff has been as good as any team could desire. Captain Ratchford, playing center field, has shown up best and most consistently, of the entire squad, this year. This position which Ratchford held this year was, it may be remembered, the same that last year ' s st. ' ir. Hal Johnson, played. In the infield, Ijcyond a doubt, most of the limelight has shown on the laconic form of big Buck Marrow in the pitcher ' s Ix)x. .A-rmfield, the catching end of any battery, started off the year with a bang ; but crippled fingers slowed up his peg as the season progressed. Not by any means should all the laurels go to Marrow. Kugler has shown as good stuff as any of the Wildcat hurlers of last year, if not better — as in the opinion of the writer. Mclnnis ' record will show beyond = -rr s r «u l ' £ ' -  ' -V- iWt. The B. iteries [one Hl ' NDRED SEVENTY-SIx] : « - §-« pl N ' O 7 r ' - , ,  3 Thu Infiei.dkrs doubt that he can pitch as well as as any- one could wish ; and his work with a stick has been a holy terror. Captain Fred Ratchford led the team in hitting this year. Ratchford has hit the ball hard and was dependable when in a pindi. Davidson opened the season on March 22, playing Catawba. .Mthough the team lost the men showed up well. Lack of prac- ..i ' Ui tice showed up well in their in- ability to hit the ball. Catawba emerged from the game, lead- ing 3-2. Mclnnis, pitching for the Wildcats, did well, as did Marrow who relieved him in the latter part of the game. Playing Oak Ridge on the 26th the Wildcats won the sec- ond game of the year. Kugler started the game for David- son and was relieved by Mar- row in the sixth inning. Oak Ridge was unable to hit either well and only scored one run. The Wildcats playing head up ball scored four runs to win 4-1. Still in pre-season form the Wildcats continued playing er- ratic ball and lost the third game of the season 10-0. The fast Springfield Y. M. C. A. Fri;i College team of Massachusetts won from Davidson when the home team failed to hit the ball. Marrow, Mclnnis, and Meadows all saw service in this game. With the team still erratic Easter Monday came, and with it the annual Carolina game. ( Due to the holidays a large crowd of Davidson students ly-., were at Salisbury to see the ' game. Kugler was in the box for Davidson as the game started. During the whole game he played good ball ex- cept for one error. The game was close all through and was anyone ' s game until the last out. In an efifort to secure the game Marrow relieved Kugler in the seventh inning. The final score was 4-2 in favor of the University of North Carolina. On the day following that of the game with the Tar Heel team, Davidson met the Cor- nell aggregation in Greens- boro, to emerge on the long end of the S-0 score. Cornell, on the same trip south, de- feated the Carolina team which had beaten Davidson. Marrow pitched the whole game. Ratchford opened the game, [one hundred seventy-seven] the first man up, with a clouhle. The next batter took him tu third and the hrst run was secured ijy a sacrihce hit by Littlejohn. Proctor also secured a double in this game. Marrow allowed the Cornell team but six hits. With Marrow pitching again on April 8, Davidson defeated Lenoir-Rhyne, in Hick- ory, by the score of 11-4. April 10th was the date of the Wofiford game, at Davidson. Mclnnis opened the game as the sending end of the Davidson battery, and was succeeded in the latter part of the game by Marrow, who had pitched in the last two games. Copying their actions in football the same year, Wofford won by the score of 3-2. However the game was close throughout ; the winner only being decided in the tenth inning. After the Wofiford game, the Wildcats went on the Virginia trip, intending to play Virginia Military Institute twice, Washing- ton and Lee, Virginia Politechnic Institute, and the L ' niversity of Virginia. The V. M. I. game, Davidson lost by the score of 7-i. Rain prevented the see- on game. Washington and Lee, however, fell, to the sccre of 10-4. The V. P. I. game was also rained out. The University of Virginia, played in Charlottesville on April 17, was the last school to be met on the trip. Davidson won this game, 5-2. Worn out perhaps liy their trip, David- son fell before the onslaughts of Elon, by the score of 4-1, in spite of the best efforts of Marrow, and Kugler who relieved him. On a trip into the state for games with Duke and State the Wildcats broke even, Kugler lost a tight game to Duke 6-4. Go- ing to Raleigh Davidson defeated State 7-3 behind the line hurling of Marrow. Returning home the Wildcats met and de- feated the Lynchburg College Hornets 7-1. SCHEDULE Catawba College... 3 Wildcats. Oak Ridge 1 Wildcats. Springfield College.. 10 Wildcats. U. N. C 4 Wildcats.

Heath Whittle won second place in the low hurdles, trailing world record time. Dan Left- wich placed third in the shot, putting it far enough after the competition ended to have won the meet had it been official. Hard training on the part of the runners and field men was somewhat hindered on account of bad weather and inadequate indoor equipment. Due to this fact, the first meet found them somewhat out of condition. This meet was against the strong Virginia Tech team, and the Davidson athletes were forced to drop a close meet, the score being 72 to 54. Pioth teams won seven first places, but Tech was much stronger in the second and third places, the meet being held on their own field. Whittle ' s brilliant per- formance was rivalled only by that of Penn, Captain of the Gobblers. The former won the hundred yard dash and both hurdles to outscore Penn by two points. The latter pulled off an iron-man stunt by winning the two- mile and one-mile runs liesides placing second in the half-mile. Captain Bill Bailey, ever consistent in his point making, won the pole vault, McCall the broad jump, Leftwich the shot, and Regen the discus. Whittle ' s time D Ciithiin Bill B.mley [one hundred eightv-one] WW %nt )e; on the liiw hurdles was well below the school record, being 25.4 seconds. As if out for revenge, the Cats com- pletely demolished Wake Forest on the following Saturday, pihng up an avalanche of points to defeat the Deacons 101 to 25. Currie, returning to his old form, thrilled the spectators by his beautiful nmning to win the hundred, two hundred and twenty yard dashes and place second in the four hundred and forty yard dash, never exerting himself in this last race. Whittle, as usual, romped off with I Kith lun-dle races, and also second in the hundred to tie Currie for scoring hont)rs. I ' lill Bailey was not forced to exert himself to win the pole vault. ( )ther first places were won by Dumas and Gardner in the high jump, Kell in the 440, Lafferty in the 880, Ely in the mile, P eavers in the two-mile, Regen in the discus, and Leftwich in the shut. Although (inly four events were en- tered in the Tech Relays, a very creditable showing was made. John Currie was inches behind Indiana ' s representative to win second ])lace in the hundred yard dash. In fact, two of the five judges awarded Currie the decision. Heath Whittle captured second in the two hundred and twenty yard low hurdles in time something over a second under his former school record. The medley relay was just outside the bacon, winning fourth place in this event. Good Sophmore material makes the outlook for next year very bright, and although we are unable to give a com- plete result of the record for this year, the meets so far give evidence df nne (if the best tiack teams in 1 )a ids(in ' s history. .Scores Davidson.. .54 ' . T. 1 71 Davidson. . .101 Wake Forest. 25 ' Phi-; S(iU.VD [one hundred eighty-thkkk] « WKESTLING 1929 HK season of 19_ ' y started off with pretty fair prospects. Several men, memliers of tlie team that was runner-up for the State Championship in ' 28, were back. With these as a basis on which to Ijuild our new coach of wresthng, Buck Miles, huilt up a promising team. Buck, when at V. P. I., made a name for himself as a mat- man. In the first bout of the season Davidson took the count of Concord Y 21-5. The match won by Concord was in the 148 pound class and it was only after a stiff light that they got it. Caphim Cowan, Russell and Tom Hii.r, Brock won their Champion nf matches by falls. U. S. in l(i,S II). Flythe and Brown Class winning by good time margins. On January 31 the Wildcats again met the Concord grapplers, this time winning by ISJ to l ' 2. This time Herriott in the 148 pound class fought his man to a draw with extra time. Cowan, Brown and Russell won their matches by time decisions, Flythe taking his by a fall. The first intercollegiate match of the season was with V. M. I. In the final count the cadets came out with the big end of an 18 to 8 count but it was with a squeeze. Cowan in the short time of three minutes 17 seconds secured the only fall of the bout. The other three points marked up to Davidson were made by Captain Hill who secured time advantage over his op- ponent Parker. The six matches taken by V. M. I. were all on time decisions. Brown had to wrestle Captain Fields who is a man of many years experience and who out- weighed him by a good margin. In spite of these handicaps Brown put up a good fight. Warren ' s opponent outweighed him by 80 pounds and it required most skill- ful work to come through as he did but lie had the goods. ( )n February 12, the Wildcat grapplers met Carolina at Chapel Hill. Again they came out on the little end of the score it being this time 25 to 3. Flythe stacked up Davidson ' s three points in a nicely wrestled match by a good margin. It fell the lot of Herriott and Brown to lose their matches by falls this time. In this as in the V. M. I. bout Brown wrestled in the 138 pound class and Herriott in the 148 pound class. Brown ' s opponent in this match was Woodard who is an exception- ally good wrestler. Captain Hill lost to Stone by a small margin the match going to extra time. The N. C. State grapplers invaded the lair of the Wildcats on Feb. 16, to meet de- feat by a 21 to 8 count. In this meet the Davidson matmen got into true form stag- ing the best match of the season. State won only three matches and these by small time margins. Brock put up a wonderful defensive against Moore, Captain of the opposing team, giving him a real tussle for his small time decision. This was the best match of the bout. Once Moore barely escaping losing by a fall . Christenbury, Captain Hill and Marrow all won their matches by falls well within the first period. Though this was Marrow ' s first bout for the season he showed up well, his match being the sen- sation of the after- noon. Flythe and I ler- riott both won their matches by go o d margins. On February 23 the Davidson matmen met Duke here for the last match of the season. This was a hotly contested bout, the Duke team finally winning out by the narrow margin of 15 to 11. Davidson ' s 11 points were chalked up by Flythe, Brock and Marrow. Again [one hundred eighty-four] z l m Miirrovv ' s strengtli iiroved its worth, win- ning the only fall of the bout. Both Brock ' s and Flythe ' s matches were snappy and well wrestled, in fact the two best wrestled matches of the afternoon. Herriott had in this match a former state champion as his opponent but nevertheless he rolled him once. In the end however he lost by a time decision. Cowan had to wrestle Applewhite who is one of the best in the South. Mis Sophomore year Applewhite wrestled the undefeated Captain Joe Frierson to a draw. Cowan gave him trouble and put up an ex- cellent defense but it was only by sheer grit that he came through as he did when time after time Applewhite flipped him over. In this match it so happened that the Captains of the two teams. Hill and Jones, met. Their match was hard fought and close, Jones linally winning by a very small margin With respect to lutal scores the season is not all that might be desired. In- dividually however the men showed up well. Three will be lost by graduation but there is every reason to believe that we may safely depend on those that remain for a good team ne.xt year.

Marrow Unlimited The Squad [one hundred eiohty-five] , VARSITY TENNIS STARTING oft in whirlwincl fashion by winning all of the matches in their first spring trip, the Davidson Tennis Team went through an especially heavy schedule during the 1929 season. Fifteen matches were played this year, as against six last year. Three members of the 1928 team returned last fall. These were J. T. Roddey, A. N. Halverstadt, and F. W. Johnston. Rod- dey was named captain, and Halverstadt took over the managership. The gradua- tion of R. W. Carr, captain of last year ' s team, had left a vacancy in the squad, and to fill this place candidates were called for and a tournament was drawn up. ' . L. Poe won this and became the fourth man on the teain. The first trip made by these men was into South Carolina where four matches were played and won by Davidson. Wof- ford, Clemson, Furman, and Erskine were defeated, all by the overwhelming score of 6-0. During the rest of the season the fol- lowing matches were played : Davidson 4 Furman 2 Davidson 6 V. P. T Davidson 4 llni. of Va 2 Davidson 5 Vm. Mary 1 Davidson 6 Uni. of Richmond. Davidson 5 Hampden-Sydney ..1 Johnston reached semi-finals in State Meet. Last year Davidson won all of its team matches and in the State Meet went as far as the semi-finals in the singles tournament and the finals in the doubles tournament. J. T. Roddey was semi-finalist in the singles, and Roddey and Carr reached the last bracket in the doubles, but they were defeated by Carolina. In the team matches Davidson up to the 1929 season suffered only one defeat within the pre ous three years — which was to the University of Pennsylvania. It has won over such strong teams as Georgia Tech, Colgate, and Cornell. Three members of this year ' s team will return ne.xt year, but the loss of Roddey, who graduates this year will be keenly felt. However, the Freshman team con- tains some very strong players who will fill in the vacancies and greatly strengthen the team next year. [ONK HUXDHKD F.IGHTV-Six] 1 1 Oi C C hm o F AT the time of writing this, the golf team has exactly hi-oken even, with two losses and two wins. In the first match of the year, held early in the fall, the Concord golf team defeated that of Davidson, with Mills. Pepper, Hart, and Cannon playing in the order named. The onlv other meet before the winter holidav.s was with the Gastonia Country Club team. And in this, the Davidson team won, with Mills, Pepper. Hutaff, and Hunt playing respectively. For the second consecutive vear since Davidson has entered it, the University of North Carolina ha.s walked away with first honors in the State Intercollegiate Tournament, with Davidson being runner-up. Duke, the only other entrant, trailed the field. Individual college matches were also held at the Sedgefield course in Greensboro, at the same time that the State tournament was held. In these Davidson defeated Duke, and was in turn, whipped by Carolina. Mills, Pepper, Hutafif, and Hart, respective- ly, represented Davidson at Sedge- field. There were four cups ofifered at the state meet. Carolina won the team low-score one and the individual low- score one, with Pepper losing the low-medal score by two strokes. Davidson took the runner-up in team scores, and the individual long-driv- ing-contest, which Hutafif won. Washington and Lee was met on the Charlotte Country Club course. ( )ther matches were being sought. [one hundred ekjhty-seven] mm v i Basketball Champions DISPLAYING the same brand of basketball that characterized their playing last season, when they won ten straight games to cop the championship, the Junior Class cagers went through an- other season with an excellent record. With the exception of Pritchett. who re- ceived a varsity letter in basketball last year, the Junior team was essentially the same as their championship team of the year before. Johnson, at forward, acted in the capacity of coach and captain. McGavock worked at the center position, with Moore playing opposite Johnson at forward. Baker and Miller were regular guards, with Heefner alternating with Baker occasionally. In the opening game, the Juniors defeated the Freshmen 36-15. Johnson ' s shooting and Moore ' s floor work were features of the game. In the next game, a strong Sopohmore team gave the champions a hard fight, only to lose by a few points. The upset of the season came when the Seniors, who had previously been defeated by both the Sophomores and Freshmen, rallied in the last few minutes to win from the Junior five. This placed the Sopho- mores and Juniors on an equal basis in percentage of wins and losses, the Sopho- mores having won all but their game with the Juniors. The Juniors easily defeated the Freshmen while the Sophomores won a hard fought game from the Seniors. With both teams on practically equal foot- ing, the second engagement between the Sophs and Juniors was, without a doubt, the most interesting game of the entire season. [one hundred eighty-eight] « FRESHMAN ATHLETICS [one hundred eiohtv-nine] %at MMmf$ 1 39. FBESHMAN FOOTBALL A S a season, this past - - one for the freshman was non-committal. The yearlings lost the first and third games, won the second and fourth, and played to a scoreless tie in the fifth and last game of the season. The team was neither strong at the beginning of the season and weak at the end, nor vice versa. Probably the outstanding players of the season, for the Wild kittens, were the backfield players, Cjnodson, and the two Brad- shaw brothers, and Scales in the line. This year was Buck Miles ' first as freshman football coach at Davidson. He is a former student of V. P. I., famed there as a star guard. The Cadets from Oak Ridge always have a good ball club, and this year was no exception. Meeting the young Cats in the first game of the season for either team, on the Davidson field, the Cadets opened with a rush which had won the game by the score of 18-0, before the freshmen could get going, enough to stop their visitors. The first score came as the termination of a long series of drives down the entire field, and was in the first quarter. The second came in the opening minutes of the second half. Davidson played a defen- sive game throughout, with King at full- back, and Goodson at quarter, the outstand- ing players. Oak Ridge made eighteen first Capt. Shad Goodson iliiwns, to the freshmen ' s two. In the game with the Wofford pups, it was a case of speed versus weight, and speed won out. The Wild- kittens beat the Wofford frosh on the latter ' s field, 20-0. Goodson took the first two across the line, the first on a run from the center of the field, and the second on a pass from King. R. Brad- shaw took the last one over, and Goodson failed to kick goal. Continuing what seems to have become a habit of Duke fresh football teams, the Imps from Durham whipt the Kittens on Rich- ardson field by the score of 18-0. Heads up and hard driving football was played throughout the game. The game opened with Duke re- ceiving the ball and taking, on their only sustained drive in the game, across the kittens ' line. The freshmen hosts retaliated with a drive that put the ball in Davidson ' s possession on Duke ' s twenty- yard line. Goodson, attempting to kick a field goal, was blocked, Duke recovered and ran for a touchdown with a clear field. From this time on, the ball was in the mid- dle of the fieltl except for the last few minutes when the ball came into David- son ' s possession on their own goal line. She fumbled, Duke recovered and scored on that fumble. Scales, at tackle, played an excel- Freshm. n Sou. d [one hundred ninety] mw l mt m The Assistant Managers lent game, as did S. Bradsliaw and Goodson in the backfield. Playing in Raleigh, the freshmen heat the freshmen from State in a game which was Davidson ' s from the first whistle to the last. The score was 13-7, R. Bradshaw scoring twice for Davidson, Goodson failed to kick the second goal. Mathis, at guard, played a good game, as did the two ends, Brown and Miller. Scales repeated his performance in the Duke game. State made five first-downs rnd Davidson made thirteen. In their last game of the season, it seemed that a final punch was all that was lacking. The game opened vvfith Goodson receiving and running it back fifty-five yards, from which spot it was taken to within thirteen yards of Asheville ' s goal line. But here the high school boys held for three downs, and grounded a pass over the goal line on David- son ' s la.st down. Three times more during the first half of the game, saw the kittens within reasonable scoring distance, but again and again the Maroons withheld their scor- ing. In the second half, Asheville opened up an offense of its own, and repeatedly ripped open the line of freshmen for good gains, but only once did they get to David- son ' s thirty-seven yard line. The Bradshaw lirothers provided the thrills of the day, while Goodson got off several of his type of long runs, around end. Scales was domi- nant figure in the line. The game ended 0-0.

( At the same time that the numerals were awarded, the Athletic Council decided to give the Freshman Manager a minor letter, assigning him additional duties as Assistant Manager. He is to be elected by a choice of the letter men, election to be held imme- diately after that of the Varsity Manager. Cassels was the elected man for next year ' s freshman team ). [one hundrp:d ninety-onk] iiiiiiii ii iiiii tgl5mg? ni BASKETBALL Capt. Julian Hutaff A RETROSPECTIVE view of the Freshmen Basketball season shows relatively pleasing results. In comparison with the past, this season was considerably above par; the percentage of wins was higher and the number of contests played was larger. Of the six games lost, against eight won, only two were lost by an over- whelming score, the remainder of the losses being close, hard-fought contests. Opening the season on the home court against Wingate Junior College, the Fresh- men exhibited a hard-fighting, but rather ragged team. Lack of team work on both sides characterized the entire game. The contest went to Wingate, Davidson being unable to put over in the last few minutes the two points necessary for a tie score. Milton, center, was high score man for the Freshmen. In the next two games, both played on the home court, the Davidson Wildkittens easily defeated teams from Belmont Abbey and Statesville High School. Hutaff, Mar- tin, and Lane divided honors for high points in these two games. Preliminary to a varsity contest that night, the Davidson Freshmen played the V. P. I. Freshmen. For the first time the Wildkitten team worked together smoothly and perfectly. At the half V. P. I. was leading, 18-11. The second half the Vir- ginians were held entirely scoreless, while the Davidson men ran up their total to 24 points. Mathis, at guard, was the star for Davidson, often coming down the floor and sinking long shots. In a return game with Wingate, the I ' Veshmen retaliated for their early season defeat. The game started off with Milton and Mathis adding up points for the Wild- kitens, and at the half Davidson vzi 8 points in the lead. The second half a Wingate rally fell short 4 points. Milton was high scorer of the game. The first Oak Ridge game, on the Davidson court, the cadets had a walk- away. Satterfield. scoring 22 points for the visitors, led in the Davidson defeat. Just before the Oak Ridge game, Hutaff, who had done consistent work at forward, was elected by his team-mates to captain the Wildkittens through the rest of the season. Wilmington High, state high school ba,sketball champions in 1927-28, was de- feated on the Davidson court by the Freshmen, 31-21. Mathis and Lane were tlie high-point men of the game. .A. return engagement with the cadets, played at Oak Ridge, resulted in another disastrous defeat for Davidson. Satterfield again ran wild, scoring a total of 18 points. Captain Hutaff, of Davidson, was the star for the visitors. Along with the varsity, the Freshmen in- vaded Virginia for a week ' s campaign. The first night on foreign soil the invaders, led by Milton at center, defeated the V. P. I. Freshmen 35-26. The Davidson teams then went to Lexington for a two-day stop. V. M. I. was the first to be met at Lexington. In both freshman and varsity games, the cadets won by a one-point margin. In the freshman game, led by Hutaff and Mathis, Davidson broke loose in the second half with a flurry of points, only to fall short by one point. The next night in Lexington was a repetition of the previous night ' s heart-rending loss. Washington Lee Freshmen, led by Smith with a total of 18 points to his credit, defeated the Wild- kittens by another one-point margin. From Lexington, the Davidson teams travelled to Charlottesville for a one-night stop. In the afternoon game the University of Vir- [ONE HUNDRED NINETY-TWo] mj ginia Freshmen defeated a tired, but figlit- ing Davidson team 27-22. At the half the score was tied 10-10, hut the effect of five days travelling showed up on the visitors in the second half. Closing the Virginia trip, the Freshmen defeated Lynchburg College with comparative case. The closing game of the season, with Lees--McRae Institute, was a one-sided affair. At the half, the Davidson team was leading 4S-0. The game ended at 80-8. Hutaff, King, and Lane ran up high scores. Milton, center, was the high scorer for the season with 98 points. Captain Hutaff was a close second.

The freshmen took third in this meet as at that time they were not in very good trim. On March the twenty-third some of the freshmen took an opportunity to get a little e.xperience and practice by entering some of the events of the high school meet held on Richardson Field. Brannon won the mile easily, and he did some pretty running. Lillard took second place in the discus throw. The first dual meet of the freshmen was with Catawba College on Rich- ardson Field April the ninth. On that afternoon they succeeded in defeating Catawba College seventy-three to forty- four. The Davidson boys took eight first places compared to five for the visitors. Aycock of Catawba was the individual feature of the meet, winning high honors with first place in the 100, 220 and 440-yard dashes, for a total of fifteen points.. Lillard, of Davidson, was second in points with a total of thirteen, taking first in the javelin and discus throw and second in the shot put. The time of the dashes and runs was mediocre and the measure of the heights and dis- tances was fair. First places were won as follows : 100-yard dash, Aycock (C.) ; mile run, Brannon (D.) ; 220-yard dash, Ay- cock (C.) ; high hurdles, Fletcher (C.) ; 440-yard run, Aycock (C.) ; low hurdles, Gorham (D.) ; 880-yard run, Morton (D.) ; high jump, Campbell (C.) ; pole vault, LasHe (D.) ; broad jump, Roane (D.) ; shot put, Milton (D.) ; discus, Lillard (D.) ; javelin, Lillard (D). 1© [one hundred ninety-five] miv m m td29 «@ FPffiSH WMESTLING DISPLAYING unusually good form, the result of the compe- tent coaching of Buck Aliles, new addition to the Wildcat coaching staff, the Freshmen wrestlers ca me through the season with pleasing results. In the first meet of the season, the Freshmen met the Barium Springs niatmen at Davidson and lost by a very close score, 15-13. Conway and McKinney showed up e.xceptionally well in this meet, both winning their matches by a fall. A return match with Barium Springs was a walk-away for the Orphans. Conway, 165 lb. wrestler for the Freshmen, scored the only Davidson points by winning a decisive time-advantage over his man. Hous- ton and Ashcraft lost on time only after hard-fought matches. The last meet of the season, against Oak Ridge, was won by Davidson, 20-10. Humphreys, making his first appearance this season, received a time decision. Houston also won b ' time advantage. White, 135 lb. class, received a bad cut over his eye in the first of his bout and had to default. Conway pinned his man in the first few seconds of his match. McKinney, Christenberry, and Raker had advan- tages over their men throughout the entire match, but were unable to get falls. The following Freshmen received numerals for their work on the mat : Elkins, 115-pound class. Grady, 125-pound class. White, 135-pound class. McKinney, 145-pound class. Ashcraft, 155-pound class.

C. A. EVERY student upon coming to David- son automatically becomes a member of the Y. [. C. A. From the day he ar- rives until tlie day he leaves he will always find a ready welcome at the Y rooms, whether he come for recreation, infonna- tion or advice. An especial effort is made to acquaint the Freshman with his new- surroundings and to make him feel as much at home as possible. Above all the Y aims to create and establish in every David- son man a feeling of Christian fellowship and good-will. In this it is most gratifyingly successful, even more so than might be hoped for. The motto of the Y is t ne cannot be religious without doing religion and on this principle it conducts its program. Not only are all sorts of Christian influences brought to bear on the students but also the Y offers them a chance to put to practice their religion in many different fields. One of the most important influ- ences of the Y is Vesper service held each Sunday evening. Of especial worth are the fall and spring evangelistic services sponsor- ed by the Y . Also each year the ' ' Y conducts a vocational Guidance Institute securing as speakers men outstanding in the South in the various professions. This year what seems to be a very successful step was taken in the Y assuming charge of chapel exercises. Other fields of activity are com- munity work, boys ' work, Sunday School work, deputations and personal work. The official publication of the Y ' is the Wild- cat Handbook. There are two governing bodies of the Y. M. C. A.: The Board of Control and the Cabinet. The Board of Control has charge of the business and financial func- tions of the organization. Its members both faculty and student are elected by a majority vote of the student body. The faculty members are : Dr. H. B. Arbuckle. Mr. F. L. Jackson and Mr. J. P. Williams.

On it rests the responsi- bility for the Davidsonian. the Quips and Cranhs, and the Chameleon. The Publications Board supervises such ac- tions as these publications may see fit to take and protects such privileges as their monopoly on advertising. Per- haps the chief duty of this organiza- tion is to check up on the financial standing of the publications, see that none go in debt, and receive and pass on the monthly reports of the business managers. The Student Body elects three of the six men nominated by the staffs of the three publications, two men be- ing nominated by each staff. These three men together with two faculty members compose the Publications Board. At the first meeting of the Publications Board, a president is elected. This year, Aubrey Brown. Editor of the Davidsonian, Bob Cov- ington, Edit o r of the Quips and t ranks, and Lawrence Dumas, Busi- ness .Manager of the Quips and L ranks, were elected by the vStudent Body. Mr. Jackson and Professor Fleagle were the faculty members. At the first meeting. Lawrence Dumas was elected president. The Publications Board has run along very smoothly this year. With one or two minor exceptions, the fi- nancing of the three publications has given no trouble. Several lively meet- ings were held for the purpose of keeping the monopoly on advertising for the three Davidson publications. . nother duty of the Publications Board not mentioned heretofore is that of electing business managers for the Davidsonian and the Chameleon (the rising senior class elects the busi- ness manager of the Quips and Cranks). This makes the responsibil- ity for the financial guidance of the publications fall all the more heavily on the Publications Board. For the Publications Board, the year 1928-29 was a success, largely because it was able to keep the David- son publications out of debt. [two hundred two] ((mmmmmm m FINANCING THE PUBLICATION HE WHO covets the position of business manager of a college publication is wishing unto himself a considerable amount of work as well as many trials, tribulations, and mental anguish, with no thanks and very little recognition for his great sacri- fices. Yet such a position is not totally without its advantages. It is a real pleasure to finance anything, even a college publi- cation when it is not known whether the bills can be paid or another issue can be gotten out or not. But the business manager knows that his publication must come out, regardless of seeming difficulties, and some- how he manages to scrape together suffi- cient cash to pay for it. There are two things, roughly speaking. that the manager of a college publication must do : first he must get money, and second he must spend it. The first is a problem ; the second is a pleasure. The two sources of income for the college publication are subscriptions and advertising. At David- son, the former is payed in the campus tax ; so there is little trouble in collecting that. But advertising! That is a different story. Advertising for college publications has al- ways been hard to get, but, as the years go liy and other mediums of advertising com- pete for the trade, the problem gets worse and worse. Certain merchants in nearby towns, who get a large part of the income from Davidson students, have, durin.g the past few years banded themselves together into organizations called Merchant ' s As- sociations. Then these Merchant ' s Asso- ciations say, no collegiate advertising for them: they can get the college trade without it. People just do not seem to be able to see the value of advertising like they ought to. It is easy to spend money, but it is hard to spend it wisely. When it comes as hard as it does for the business managers, it is safe to say that they will make no foolish expenditures. The 1929 Quips and Cranks is a seven thousand dollar publication (hold it care- fully,) and it speaks well for the business staff of the annual under the leadership of Lawrence Dumas that they have been able to finance it, that they have gotten the money and have spent it so wisely that a small sur- plus is left for next year ' s staff to start on. Those who have helped Lawrence Dumas in financing The 1929 Quips and Cranks are: Bob Erckman. Bill Hill, Lad Mills, Louis Roberts, Ed Roberson, Allen Wilson. H. C. Harrill, and Jim McNair. It is to the credit of Bill Powell, the business manager of the Davidsonian that his publication has come out every week, even though it is bigger and better than ever before and even though the Merchant ' s Associations have been hitting him hard. Powell ' s assistants during the past year have been : Bill McGuire, Earnest McCall, and Lad Mills. Because of the excellent work of Hub Knox and his business staff, the Chame- leon , the Davidson literary magazine, has been able to put out five issues this year. Advertising for this publication like all the others, is harder to get this year. The following men have been working on the business staff of the CIminclcon : C. H. DuBose, C. H. Pettus. W. R. Hill, V. A. Middleton. E. L. Roberson, and J. L. Brown. Davidson is unlike most colleges in that her business managers do not get any sur- plus they may happen to make for them- selves. Their services have been given ab- solutely free and without even the hope of reward. [two HIINDRED THREe] mivMmm u m QUIPS AND CMANKS BOB COVINGTON THE Davidson College Yearbook, Oiiif ' s and Cranks, has in its colorful history undergone m a n v changes and presented Davidson life in many moods. So many are the factors that go into the making of an annual that each one may be a fair representation in the main and yet be entirely different from its predeces- sors. Annuals vary with the disposi- tion of the editor, the nose of the man who takes the pictures, the tempera- ture of the third vi eek in February and a hundred and one other seem- ingly inconsequential factors. Davidson ' s annuals in the past have been like those of all colleges, some good, some bad. In 1927 Don Wharton and Clancy Williams set a mark for all future editors and busi- ness managers by winning first prize in a national competition. Of the present annual nothing must be said. It is in your hands, defenceless, and nu may judge it as you will. The Quips and Cranks is published Nearly by the Senior Class of David- SDU, r oth eilitnr and business man- ager are clm en from the junior mem- bers of the staff b - popular election. This year l!ob Covington was editor ' ind has shouldered his responsibilities with marvelous patience and almost untiring energy.

Nor h;:s the paper itself failed to develop along with the better Davidson. It has, in fourteen years, grown into one of the largest and most complete college weeklies in the South. In its short existence. The DiU ' iiisniiiaii has repeatedlv received the distinction of being voted the best college newspaper in North Carolina. Several of its editors have been designated as having written the best editorial of the year among the college papers in the state. The 1928-29 Davidsonmn has kept pace with the era of construction at Davidson. Aubrey N. Brown, as Editor-in-Chief, not only continued the work of former editors in an efficient manner, but also made many important changes and innovations in the paper. W. M. Powell, as Business Manager, handled in a capable manner the lesser ob- served, hut the none less important end of the work. Under the able leadership of these two men. The Dnz ' idsonwii was changed from an eight page, five column news sheet, to a si. page, si.v; column standard paper. This change gives the paper more actual news space, besides placing it on a standard basis with the large daily newspapers, in which the si. ; column sheet is used. This ch: nge ill outer appearance, together with the ad- dition of more adequate space for alumni news, a section in the interest of social life at the college, a feature column, and news from the whole collegiate world, has placed the Davidsoiiian on a higher plane as a newspaper. With a fair and impersonal attitude, the editorials have had a marked effect on the thinking of the student body. Because of the high quality of the editorials, under the editorship of Brown, the paper has gained ;n even more pre-eminent place in the student life than it has ever held. .- ubrey Brown has been ably assisted ir the management of the paper by: Jarratt Pratt, and Miller, Managing Editors : Long as Sports Editor: Milton, as News Editor; and in the editing of the paper by Pritchett.

THE CHAMELEON BROWNE McQueen THE merits of Davidson ' s literary geniuses are evidently increasing with the general improvement around the campus. This is readily verified when one digs around in the old relics of the past and brings out a copy of the old Davidson Macaginc for com- parison with the Chameleon. Although a good publication for the times, the Davidson Magazine, forerunner of the Chameleon, could not cope with its oflfspring. Taking its name from an animal that changes color with whatever it comes in contact, the Chameleon shows such a trait not only in the color of its covers, but also in its contents. The changes from year to year are very evident ; and even during a single year there is no issue that resembles an- other. aricty, a very interesting va- riety, then, may be suggested as the outstanding characteristic that makes the Chain a very popular magazine on the campus. Short stories, essays, p(jctry, and novelties are always ready 1(1 furnish the reader with a pleasant Mirprisc. Naturally, no magazine can Ije a success unless the ones contributing to its contents are capable of turning out an interesting type of material. Moreover, the magazine must be handled by able hands. The latter we have in Browne McQueen as Editor of the Chameleon, and Hub Knox as Business Manager. Both men have done their work well. Consequently, let us give credit to these two to whom credit is due. The Literary Staff was one of ex- ceptional merit, a statement that should go well - nigh unchallenged when we notice that Browne McQueen, Rough Bogges, Frank Hall, Bob Covington, J. Wilson McCutchan, Jimmy John- son, Charlie Pratt, and Dick Flinn make up this staff. The character of the material in the C ' honiclcon this year has not gone un- challenged nor will that ever be the case. It has in the main however been of a high type. Let us hope that the Chameleon will continue in future years up to the standard being set for it now. [two hundred eight] W ut w - © ■ [two hundred nine] THE Y HANDBOOK rkiicii I ' i ' T THROUGH an unfailing co-operation of students, and business firms located in the vicinity, and elsewhere, the Y. M. C. A. has been enabled, annually, to publish ihe Wildcat Handbook — a book which is issued at the beginning of each school- term as a guide to the new men and as a reference to those returning. Each Freshman receives a copy 1)efore arriving on the campus and is therefore given an insight into the life which he is about to assume. Upper classmen receive their copies on arrival at Davidson. This is one phase of the Christian work which the Y. M. C. A. conducts on the campus. The handbnuk contains a brief explanation of all organizations of the col- lege, religious, social, and otherwise, with the officers of each. It contains an expla- nation of all activities, the traditions of Davidson, and helps for the new men in fitting their lives into closer communion with their fellow students. The 1928-29 Handbook is edited by V. Kendrick Pritchett, editor-in-chief, and Louis C. Roberts, business m: nager. It is dedicated to Dr. Howard Bell Arbuckle, a leading member of the faculty and an out- standing promoter of Christian activities. Those contributing to the production were : F. D. Miller, C. M. Pratt, Z. V. Long, W. B. McGuire. and J. V. McCutcheon. [two hundred ten] iiiiiiiiii miiy( utP .illg nKg)«,iiii Ill [two hundred eleven] %mpM%nmv td39 FOMENSIC THE MEMBERS of the Forensic Coun- cil are chosen by the varsity debaters from among themselves. The Council con- ferring with the Faculty Committee on De- bate, has charge of the Forensic activities of the College. It arranges all intercolle- giate debates and oratorical contests, and such interclass debates and oratorical con- tests as may be held. The chief work of the Council is that of arranging intercollegiate debates and in an etTort to accomplish that as satisfactorily as possible the present Council began work with results that fulfilled the highest ex- pectations. Before College closed in the spring negotiations were begun with a num- ber of Colleges and Universities. When the fall term opened the Council went to work with renewed energy and in the end had far more offers for delfates than they could rccept. In all eight deliates were arranged. At present the Council has plans on foot for several Oratorical contests during the spring. The Freshman Oratorical contest of which R. S. Overman was winner in ' 28 will be held as usual. We also e.xpect to send a representative to the Peace Oratori- cal Contest. Henry T. Powell represented Davidson in this contest in ' 28. Last year Davidson entered the National Constitutional Oratorical Contest for the first time and it is the intention of the Council to enter a re- presentative again this year. Al;:n Frew our representative last year came thru with flying colors winning third place by judges decision and first place by vote of the au- dience in the finals at Los Angeles. One of the chief events of the year was the organization of the Di.xie Debating League by the University of Alabama. The League includes eighteen leading Southern LTniversities and Colleges and has as its aim the furtherance of Forensic activities in the South. Each year a champion is to be chosen on the basis of debates with League members won and lost. With the e.xception of the University of Richmond and Wake Forest all our opponents this year are members of the League. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL Lawrence Dumas, Jr President W. K. Prichett Vice-President W. B. McGuire. Jr Secretary C. R. Prichett Secretary R. M. Christian Treasurer [two hundred twelve] mvf M mm t939 OMATOEICAL WOMK IN oratorical work this year Alan Frew has been our outstanding man as he was last year. In Novem- l)er he won the American Legion Oratorical contest for North Carolina. In April he represented Davidson in the Peace Oratorical Contest but only placed second in this. For this con- test Alan did not seem to be going as good as usual. He was defeated by a graduate Law student from Duke. The Junior Oratorical Contest came off as usual but there was practically no interest aroused over it except among those who were competing. The speeches though were fully up to the standard of past years in quality. F. D. Miller was winner of this contest. In the Freshman Ora- torical Contest competition was very keen this year. The winner, J. S. W. Hartswell, delivered a most excellent oration, his subject being, America ' s Uncrowned Queen. His speech was a tribute to his mother or rather to the UKjther of every boy in America. The new Forensic Council with Murray Christian as Presideait has taken charge and is working hard on a schedule for next ear. Everyone is looking forward to a successful year with six of the present eight varsity debaters back. Murray hopes to ar- range two long trips with several debates on each. In contrast with the w irk of the literary societies which seem to have been on the downgrade continually, work in debating at Davidson, under the capable and enthusiastic guidance of the Forensic council, seems to be gaining steadily. The schedules of the last few years have been just as comprehensive and the records as favorable as in the days when debating was the preeminent intercollegiate activity. Much of the credit for this situation has gone where it should, to the Forensic Council. I ' klTCUETT CHRISTIAN PRITCHETT [two hundred thirteen] Vaksitv Debaters DEBATING SEASON DAVIDSON College has been a participater in the formal debate ever since the night of June 22, 1837 — the night the I.iterary societies came into existence — when two teams wrangled on the question: ' ' Is slavery a blessing or a curse? ' ' But intercol- legiate debating didn ' t begin until the 1907-08 term, when S. A. Linley and R. A. McLeod met a team from Wake Forest, at Greensboro, and had prac- tically the whole student body up there to hear them (incidentally, there was a baseball game there that after- noon.) The 1928-29 debating season came in for a bad get-away when Emory University invaded the Davidson cam- pus for the first conflict of the year in the form of a team composed of Plarlee Branch, recent alumnus of Davidson taking a post-graduate course, and his fellow colleague. They arrayed for battle in Shearer Hall on the evening of February the nine- teenth, and launched a fierce attack against a team composed of Bob Grady and Jack Matthews. Both of the Davidson men were good debaters, but they were up against a hard prob- le m because Branch was formerly one of Davidson ' s star debaters, and his colleague was well worthy to back him up. The visitors upheld the negative side of the question: Resolved that expert jurists, three or five in number, should be substituted for the present (© [two hundred fourteen] ut p system of trial by jury, ' ' and received the judges decision 3-0. But a few days later the tide of affairs took a more pleasing turn. On March the fifth Lawrence Dumas and Murray Christian marched against Richmond and conquered the Uni- versity of that city in a debate on the negative side of the same question. The decision in their favor was 3-0. Then, the next evening found theiu down at William and Mary contesting with the Indians on the affirmative side of the same topic. Here they met with success again and took the laurels away, to the tune of 2-1. Then Grady and Matthews waxed eloquent again and sallied forth against the University of Florida. This was March the seventh. Queens College was the common battle ground for this fray. In spite of a house full of Queens, the two gallant orators from Davidson bowed in defeat be- fore a heavy onslaught as the Florida Alligators ' ' took a judges ' decision of 2-1. In both the debates held with col- leges within the State the Wildcats ' ' were represented by a team composed of Zeb Long and Bill McGuire. On March the twelfth the two men journeyed to Burlington, North Carolina, to face a high-powered team from North Carolina State College. Though both Long and McGuire are able speakers, and have at times shown marked ability in uphold5ng the honor of Davidson on the debating floor, they were forced to admit de- feat in face of the eloquent Tech men. The judges rendered a decision of 3-0. The question for this contest was the same one used in all the de- bates held this season: Resolved that expert jurists, three or five in number, should be substituted for the present system of trial by jury. Davidson up- held the negative side. The next evening, March the thir- teenth, Long and McGuire went over to Wake Forest and had better luck. They took the affirmative side of the popular query, and won a judges ' de- cision of 1-0. C)n March the twenty-second Carl Pritchett and Ellis Marsh went to Concord, North Carolina, where they met a team from the University of Alabama. It was their lot to uphold the negative side of the afoixstated question. The debate was a brilliant one, marked with many high spots for each side, and ended by Davidson tak- ing the decision 3-0. At this writing the final debate of the season, which is to be held with Birmingham Southern, at Davidson, on April the eighteenth, has not taken l)lace. Carl Pritchett and Ellis Marsh will be the two men to face the Southerners. The alternates who were active this season are : Bill Bailey, Andrew liird, Fred Poag, and DeWolf Miller. A summary of this season ' s debates, alony- with the teams participating, is as follows : February 19: Emory Ihiiversity. G i.

Pritchett [two hundred fifteen] % PHILANTHMOPIC LITERARY SOCIETY MANY Davidson students have gained considerable prominence along liter- ary lines by being members of the Philan- thropic Literary Society. The speakers and debaters which this society has produced are almost innumerable. It has helped to pro- mote interest among the students, and, true to its aims, has produced a spirit of sub- ordination and order, and has united in closer Ixjnds of friendship those students in whom it is particularly interested, and whom it has deemed worthy enough for meinber- sliip. Those who have graduated look back and recall with fondest memories the profi- table and most agreeable hours spent in de- bating and discussing different matters in Phi Hall. The work that the Phi Society is doing for Davidson now is greatly improved over that of recent years; and when the Philanthropic and Metrophilian Societies united as one, there was formed an organization that was destined to create men outstanding from the literary point of view. The status cif the literary societies at Davidson is viewed with alarm by many for it is common knowledge that they have lost much, both of prestige and interest. However they still afford a fertile field for forensic endeavor and still claim many faithful members. The society has completed a rather suc- cessful year, having accomplished great work for herself as well as for the college as a whole. The benefits which the stu- dents have derived from being members are incomparable as well as invaluable. Officers for the first term were: Frank Hall. President; J. B. Kno.x, Vice-President; C. E. Kraemer, Secretary; C. H. Dubose, Treasurer ; R. C. Grady, Critic. Second term officers included the following : R. C. Grady, President; R. T. Ellet, Vice-Presi- dent; J. W. McCutchan, Secretary; C. H. DuBose, Treasurer; Frank Hall, Critic. Officers for the third term were: Members of Phif.anthropic Society D. J. Black, B. F. Brown, H. L. Carr, E. H. Clark, S. R. Coker, L. F. Cowan, W. K. Cromartie, C. H. DuBose, R. T. Ellet, H. D. Edgerton, F. S. Erwin, W. H. Frank- lin, J. C. Fry, W. F. Gaffney, R. C. Grady, Frank Hall, T. H. Hall, D. F. Helm, J. B. Jones, J. B. Knox, M. J.

[two hundred sixteen] Umvf f m [two hundred seventeen] • EUMENEAN LITERARY SOCIETY TIIK EUMENEAN Society is tlic oiliest literary organization at Davidson, the year of its founding being 1837. At first, membership in the society was open only to North Carolina students, but later this was applied to students from other states as well. The chief purposes of the En Society are to train men to de- velop clear thinking and forceful as well as effective public speaking ; com- binrd with the attempt to teach young men tci have an appreciation for litera- ture. Programs conducted during meet- ings vary considerably in subject mat- ter, so as to stimulate interest among the members. Interesting debates are frequently held, and occasionally open forum discussions are resorted to, the latter affording wonderful opportuni- ties for each member to express his own views and opinions concerning a l articular subject. Discussions about national and campus problems often furnish valuable material for programs. Officers for the first term included the following: W. L. Dimias, Presi- dent; R. M. Christian, ' ice President; . . R. r.ird, Secretary: T. E. Hill, ' i ' reasnrcr; J. R. Graham. Critic. Sec- ond term officers, elected in January, were: J. R. Graham, President; W. B.

[two hundred eighteen] s [two hundred nineteen] 1® - THE LITEEAEY SOCIETIES THE once powerful Monarchs of the campus are falling. The state- ly columns, the musty hrick, the climb- ing ivy of the two small buildings on Elm Row bear mute testimony to a passing regime. .A regime that is fighting desperately t maintain its hold. The literary societies of Davidson College were once the ruling dignita- ries of the school. They held sway over the literary precincts and guided the forensic activities. They provided for social functions. Their officers were campus rulers, their meetings the scenes of solemn dignity and respected law. Hut time has turned the tables. The past cannot face the present. The so- cieties have faded into the backgrounrl — an event of sadness for those who knew them as they once were. The Philanthropic Society, occupy- ing the building on the East side of Elm Row, was the largest, for it re- stricted its members to residents of North Carolina. The Eumenean Soci- ety, in the opposite building, was made famous by having former president Woodrow Wilson make his first public speech as one of its members. Both societies held meetings every Saturday night and Monday morning, at whicli time they held debates, rendered decla- mations, and imposed fines at random for disorderly conduct. During the year they awarded medals for forensic achievements and, alternately, elected commencement marshals. Practically everyone was a member of one of the two societies and the campus standing of every student was rated accordingly. A l)rotherly love between the two organizations, like that of Cain for Able, manifested itself in sn(iw battles, literary contests, and other liarmk ' ss conilicts. Hut now as the world moves on, to the jiace of the automobile, the jazz, the railio and the talking movie, the average student finds little time for education and entertainment within these lialls. P ' or a while, during the present century, there were even four societies, the Metrophilian and Pandenic being the new ones. In the winter of 1926 the AIetroi)hilian dissolved into the Philanthropic, and the following year the Pandenic combined with the Eumenean. The ])resent day societies are poorly, l)ut not discouragingly, attended. . mong their achievements, both have voted to let the Senior Class elect the commencement marshals for the next two years, as it has been the custom for each of the societies to put its own members in these positions on alter- nate vears. Two medals are still being given 1) - the combined organizations — one tor Junior Speaking, and the other for the Freshman Declamation contest. The programs this year have been verv good. Debates and declamations have lieen interspersed by talks by various professors. Social meetings, known as feeds, have been held. The societies are still being faithfully main- tained, but the power, the position, the glory that once was theirs, it is feared, will never be theirs again. [two hundred twenty] y5umg?Smn - 1939 1 [two hundred twenty-one] • THE DAVIDSON COLLEGE GLEE ASSOCIATION PROF. CL-LLTM THE Davidson College Glee Club Association enjoyed a very suc- cessful year in every respect during the term of 1928-29. Bv looking over their schedule of the past year, one is struck by the very comprehensive amount of territory that was covered in North and South Carolina. The Glee Club Association is com- posed of the Glee Club, the Concert Orchestra, and the Sunnyland Sere- naders, a jazz orchestra. The officers of the Association are as follows : Prof. E. J. CuUum, Director: P. B. Fry, President ; R. S. Abernethy, Jr., Business Manager ; C. C. Orr, Jr., ' ice President : A. J. Thompson, Jr., Vice President; C. J. Albright, Con- cert Master of the Concert Orchestra; and B. H. O. Geer, Director of the Sunnyland Serenaders. During the fall, the Glee Club As- sociation gave concerts at Queens Col- lege at Charlotte. N. C. Flora Mac- Donald College at Red Springs, X. C, and Salem College at Winston-Salem, i . C. The Club also visited Lumber- ton, N. C. and Elizabethtown. X. C. and entered the State Glee Club Con- test at Durham, X. C. where it re- ceived third place. A program was broadcasted from radio station WBT at Charlotte, N. C. In the spring, the Association gave an entertainment at Converse College at Spartanburg. S. C. : took trips to Spartanburg, S. C, Shelby, X. C, Gastonia, N. C, Belmont, X. C, and Salisbury, N. C. ; and made a three day appearance at the Carolina Th eater in Charlotte. X. C. SYD ABERNATHY [two hundred tvventv-two] ' mvf M txf 19,29 - m [two hundred twenty-thrke] THE EED AND BLACK MASQUEMS pRoi i:k ix THE DRAMATIC cluli of Davidson College, the Red and Black Masquers, reorganized in the late fall of the past year. At the first meeting of the club after re- organizing, officers were elected; J. Z. Preston was selected as president, and J. S. Meacham as manager, General plans for the year ' s activity were also made. The Club held its meetings fortnightly, at which time Dne-act plays were presen- ted. The stu- dent body was invited to the pro- duction of the plays. Af- ter each pre- sentation, the tryouts for the next play were h eld; those show- ing marked ability were gi en parts. In this w; y a large part of the members were aide to participate. Variety in the type of one-act plays pro- duced was obtained, in spile of the lamen- table lack of feminine talent. Tlie plays v: ried from farcical comedy, such as I ' lulc Tommy ' s Harem, to the fantastical tragedy of A Night in an Inn. In the spring two public performances were given. Members taking part then had been chosen on the merits of abilities shown in the informal plays given at the meetings. Since it w: s impossible for all those in the club to take parts, the group was divided into active members and associate members. Not only those who took part on the stage were considered as active members but also anyone writing a producible play, or proving his value as strge manager, or in other ways. The entertainment provided for the stu- dent body and the pleasure given to the members of the club themselves warrants the statement that the Red and Black Mas- (|uers have had a . most successful year. To Prof. E. J. Erwin. who is facuUy advisor and director of the club, is given the credit for the success of the Red and Black Masquers in the season •28 - ' 29. He has given a great deal of time and en- thusiasm to the club. STICWART Mi-:.

When fraternities first entered Davidson, there were constructed for their use, the buildings which now stand on Oak and Elm rows. Parts of Eu and Phi Halls were also given to their use. Being somewhat cramped in these quarters, the several chap- ters were allowed, a few years ago, to move into houses of their own, off the campus. After two years the Trustees decided that this was undesirable for a college of Davidson ' s size, nature, and location. And so the present system was evolved — hence the Fraternity Court. In spite of the feeling, on the part of some when the houses were first occupied, that it would be more harmful than beneficial, the present situation is a success, we be- lieve, and this principally because there has been, during the entire year, almost a minimum of friction between the various chapters. With the complete occupation of New Chambers, the Court should prove far more centrally located than were the majority of the houses used previously. As to the national officers of the fraterni- ties represented at Davidson, the majority of them have expressed themselves as out- standingly in favor of the new housing plan — the Fraternity Court. [two hundred twenty ' -seven] IMl mtv f m FMATEKNITIES AT DAVIDSON IT IS PROI ' .AIilJ ' ' , that 110 oiiu pliasu (if .sUuleiU life- has come in for so much discussion or lias liceu subject to so many changes in tlie four ye: rs that the class of ' 29 has been resitlent at Davidson as have the social fraternities. The class arrived in the fall of ' )2ri in time to lie entertained once in tlie old halls in which the fraternities had been housed for many years on the campus. The procl; Illation for abandoning these however had been already given and soon after the college year started the fraternities moved into their houses off the campus. Here for three years they enjoyed the intimacy and pri- vacy of fraternity life and the worry and despair of building funds and plans for greater dwellings. In the spring of 1928, howeve ' , these building pirns were dropped when the trustees of the college decreed that the fraternities should move back on the campus into social halls to be provided by the college and rented by the fraternities. The fall of 1928 saw these social halls completed and the fraternity court established just .south of Richardson field. During these many changes it has been hard for the fraternities to maintain any definite standards or es- tablish any distinct atmosphere. Conditions have been unsettled and generalities of the situation during that time are well nigh impossible to make. It may be main- tained without doubt, however, that social snobbery among frrternity men and between fraternity and non-fraternity inen is practically unknown at Davidson and that the relations of fraternity men witli all the other phases of college life arc in tlie main wholesonic and commendable.
