DR. HENRY LOUIS SMITHIS PHIBETAJUPPA ORATOR

Former Davidson Executive Pre-sents Views onCurrent

World ProblemsEDUCATOR TO RESCUESpeaker Recalls Memories of

Many HappyDaysSpent onDavidsonCampus

Or. Henry Louis Smith, President ofWashington and Lee University and formerpresident of Davidson, delivered the PhiBeta Kappa address before a large audiencein Shearer Hall on theevening of Thursday,March 1st. Hi> subject was: Our ChristianCirilicitiion in Peril—The Bducatof to theRescue. The speech, perhaps the most im-pressive ever heard from a Davidson plat-form, was a keen analysis of the dangers ofour civilization today and a forceful appli-cation of the necessary remedy.

After a few introductory remarks cou-ccrning the many happy memories whichwere connected with his visit to his oldAlma Mater,Doctor Smith statedhis subjectand proceeded to show how such a condi-tion came about and how we could set towork to remedy it.

"Civilization," said Dr. Smith, "is theorganized dominanceof our orderly spiritualnature over our animal nature." 11c com-pared its progress to that of a ship sailingagainst a severe hc;t ' wild. Never can itmake its way directly townrd the port, hutit must shift and taek one wayand then theother, first it bends its way so far fromthe dead line that it seems as if it will neverreach port but is destined for the rocks. Itis then that we hear the creak of the rudderchains and we know that the pilot hasturned the wheelin the other direction. Thenonce more it crosses the dead line and goesfar to the other side. Time and again thiszig-zag process is repeated, but always, ifthe pilot is watchful, it is nearer the ulti-mate port. So it is with civilization, for wealways know that there is a sure and steadypilot at the helm.

One of the greatest swings of progressthat the ship of human civilization has evermade had its inception in the democratiza-tion of religion which started some 500 yearsago, said Doctor Smith. This resulted illthe seizing of the religious opportunities andprivileges hitherto held by few people. Thismovement for democracy in religion wasfollowed by a similar movement in politicalaffairs which made itself manifest in thediffusion among the people of the powerwhich the despot king or ruler had enjoyedfor centuries. These two movements havebeen followed, in the last 200 years, bysimilar movements along industrial and edu-cational lines. The latest of these especiallyhas resulted in a wonder-workingeducationalrevival.

This resistless, world-wide process of dif-fusion steadily advanced human welfare solong as the spread of power and liberty wasproperly balanced by a similar spread ofenlightenment and morality, 'till democracybecame almost a religion. But a time camewhen the explosive development of industryand education was not accompanied by asimilar development of man's moral andreligious nature.

This serious situation was accentuated bythe outbreak of the World War, which un-loosed ali the passions of cruelty and gavepower to millions not yet ready for it. Andso the time has come when power has out-run true enlightenment, and so our wholecivil structure is threatened by Bolshevism.That means the giving of enormous poweto those who do not know how to use it.This awful tendency is present, not only in

IMPROVEMENTS PLANNEDProfessors Reappointed for the

1923-24 Session of CollegeBy_C. V. SMITH

The building of .1 new dormitory to rc-ilace tlie Watts building, recently' destroyed>y fire, and the proposed start on the crec-imi tif the south wing of the new and hand-

some Chambers Hall within the next sixtydays, were the matters of outstanding inter-est to the student liody and the alumni thatwere brought up at the mid-winter meetingof the Hoard of Trustees "<{ DavidsonCollege which was held on February 28, inthca dmmistrative ntlici'Siif the college. Themeeting was railed to oraer by the presidentof the Board, Dr. Walter I,. Linglc, ofRichmond, Va., there being eighteen memhers of the Board present. After a day'ssession, during which time many mattersand plans for the bettering of the collegewere discussed, the meeting adjourned inthe late afternoon to meet again atCommencement.

Of greatest interest to the students, per-haps, is the replacing of Watts dormitoryby'a new and complete building, with ac-commodations for a hundred students, twiceas many as were provided for by the dormi-tory that was destroyed on February 25th.The Board authorized Doctor Martin andthe building and financial committees toproceed at once with the construction of thenew building that will stand upon the siteof old Watts, and will be more in keepingwith the recent new buildings on thecampus,as it will be up todate in everydetailand absolutely fireproof. Work on the firstunit of the Chambers building, the southwing, will begin this spring, and hopes areentertained by the college authorities thatthis part of the structure will be ready foroccupancy by the fall opening of the college.The question of cost for both this and thenew dormitory will be left for decision inthe hands of the joint committee of build-ing and finance.

The question of allowing Junior Speakingto be held during Easter holidays was, byaction of the Board, referred to the faculty.Tentative plans for this occasion point itout to be one of the biggest and best everheld at Davidson.

A number of items were presented to theBoard by Doctor Martin and were recom-mended to be passed. Among these was thepublication of Miss Cornelia Shaw's Historyof Davidson College, which is at the pres-ent in manuscript form and, according toseveral competent judges, is an excellenthistory of the college as well as a valuableliterary work. The Alumni Catalogue, nowpractically ready for the printer, was alsoordered published. Alterations in the waterplant especially looking to amore steady anddependable water supply for the collegewere approved. Unification of the voltageof the electric plant, by changing the sec-tions now on 220 voltage to 110, was voted.An annual fund was ordered set aside toassist, from year to year, asmany as threeprofessors who may wish to pursue ad-vanced studies at some of the higher uni-versities in a six weeks' summer course.The Treasurer was ordered topay one-half

[NICHES IN THE WILDCAT]| HALL OFFAME INo. 10— John McKinley Black,

'19D«* FootballD*» Baseball

John McKinley Black, of Harrisburg andDavidson, N. C, matriculated at Davidson inthe fall of 1914, andbefore the fall was overhad made a name for himself by his spec-tacular work on the gridiron.

For three years Jack played half on theWildcat machine, and whenever two or threeyards were needed for a first down it washe who carried the ball and made thedistance. Five feet, eight inches tall andweighing 180 pounds, he ploughed his waythrough the line time after time for touch-downs. During the three years from 1914to 1016 the Rid and Black lost only sevengames, and Jack starred in all of the fifteenvictories. His drive and power were a bigfactor in the Red Machine's record, and hewill always be remembered at Davidson asthe greatest line-plunger that ever donneda Red and Black uniform.

Jack held down the hot corner on thediamond, during the same three years in sen-sational style, and was captain of the teamin '17. During the season of 1916 the Wild-cat nine won 14 out of 16 college games,losing one game to Maryvilie and one toTrinity, but taking the series from theMethodists by two victories.

Jack was not a member of the famousteam of '17, for he had enlisted during thesummer and received his 2nd Lieutenant'scommission in the Field Artillery. The nextyear he crossed over and soon after hisarrival was promoted and made 1st Lieut.

Returning from the war zone, Jack cameback to Davidson to finish his college course.Again in 1919 he starred on the gridiron,but injuries kept him out of a large num-ber of games. To this fact is partly duethe mediocre record, for with Jack on thesidelines the Wildcat offense was materiallyweakened. He recovered from his injuriesin time to play in the Furman game onTurkey Day,and scored a touchdown againstthe Purple Hurricane in the 41-14 Davidsonvictory

—the last time the Purple Hurricane

has been stopped by the Wildcat's claws.After graduating Jack entered business

and is now living in Greenville, S. C.

1 DAFFY DITTIES |Two Winthrop girls sat serenely on a divan,

when up walked a Davidson boy named' Biddle;1Ic thought the damsels looked lonely,andhe

knew he was, so he asked if he might sitin the middle.

As Winthrop girls always do, they glancedabout, and seeing no matron said, "Ofcourse you may."

Riddle felt that a great moment was near,and gathering all his nerve took the seatright away.

At Winthrop, youknow, the rules are ratherstrict, and the girls are deprived of mostof their joys;

And of course it sounds cruel, and Iguessit is, but they are seldom allowed to talktoboys.

The two girls' hearts beat fast for theyknew this was unusual for Winthrop life.

Biddle, of course, felt that a great momentwas at hand, and thought this a goodchance to select a wife.

The girls gained, and were shooting ques-tions abouthis work, asking if he danced,or if he was a good athlete;

Biddle proudly stated thathe got out of hisexams,but humbly confessed thathe madeapoor showing shaking his feet.

They giggled when he told he was a minis-terial chap. They said, "Then guess youare too good to even smoke a pipe."

Now Biddle thought he was going some,butnot so, the girls were calmly deciding hewasn't their type.

They continued to be nice for awhile, butthey soon got tired of sitting there andputting up a bluff,

For they knew quite well they were beingbored, and of the Davidsonboy they hadenough.

Biddle had forgotten what he had meant tosay, though itall hadbeen gentle andmild.

Hard luck for him that the girls were fresh-men, and of course they prefer them youngand wild.

And so with expressions of regret theydashed away,

Even while the sunwas stillbright in its ray;Leaving poor dumb-founded Biddle still in

themiddleWith blank space on each side, for the girls

left him to go on a ride.

% ATHLETIC/ dP gTRACK PROSPECTS GOOD

FOR BANNER SEASONFor the past week there has been a large

number of men out for track in response toCaptain Galloway's call last Mondaymorning. A greater number than ever be-fore reported for the first pratice, and asthe week progressed the number increasedso much that the prospects for a winningteam lookvery good.

Most likely, the team will be composedmainly of new material from the Freshmanclass, as there are only five letter men backfrom last year. The services of a star dashman, Ted Kocnig, who recently underwentanoperation for appendicitis, will be greatlymissed.

The list of aspirants includes five lettermen

— Captain Galloway, Gracey, Dick. Mc-Combs and Striebeck. Aside from these, theoldmenout are Ilcndrix,Gordon, Matthews,Parish, Davidson, Callioun and Regen.Among the new men arc Selzer, Williford,I.indamood, Bouvier, Jones, Anderson,Crane, Alexander, Causey and Falls.

The weights will be well taken care ofliy Rcgen, Gracey, McCombs andLindamood.All save Lindamood have proven their worthhere, and Lindamood came with a brilliantrecord in shot-putting, discuss and javelin.Gracey is the holder of the college recordfor the javelin throw.

The hurdle menare showing class already,and withDick, Gracey,Striebcch and Ravishas a nucleus, ought to set the pace for themen in the other events to follow.

The jumpers and pole vaulters givepromise of making records for themselvesand Davidson this year.

Aside from Davidson, Striebcch, Calhounand Gracey, the old men, there are Andersonand Crane, who arc showing up well.Anderson represented Staunton MilitaryAcademy in the pole vault last year.

Dash men and distance runners are inprominence. The dashes have Hendrix,Gordon and Matthews, and the Freshmen,Jones and Bouvier. In the longer distancesare Galloway on the four-forty^ and Selzerand Williford on the one and two mile runs.These last two mentioned showed up well inthe cross country run held at Chapel Hilllast fall.

Judging from the quantity, as well asquality, of material, Davidson is destined tomake a record this year. Manager-CaptainGalloway has a schedule mapped out thatwill require some real work.

James, of Asheville, led his team, and withhis running mate, Nixon, accounted forthirty-six of their teams points. Chakales,the super-athlete of Asheville, also playeda good game at guard.

Davidson students always hear Dr. Henry Louis Smith with the greatestpleasure, and his talks to us never have failed to be most interesting andprofitable. If anything, his literary address at the installation of Phi BetaKappa at Davidson, excelled even our.Jiigh expectations. The dramaticandgripping,yet realisticpictures thathe gaveus of presentday situations cannot

fail to make a lastingimpression uponour memoriesand our actions.

PHI BETA KAPPA\ FTER years of patient and untiring effort on the part of a number ofJ\ of the faculty, Davidson was on March 1, the proud recipient of thecharter for a chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, the Gamma chapter ofNorth Carolina. Both in the public and private exercises of the installation,it was brought out clearly how fortKiate we mayconsiderourselves at David-son College. Chapters of this societyare nation-wide,but exist in only aboultwenty per cent of the colleges and universities in the United States. Thegrantingof a chapter to any school, coming as it does only after a thorougliinvestigation of every phase of the institution's work, is a distinct honor,President Chaseof theUniversityof North Carolina very fittingly showed theplace that scholarship should hold inour under-graduatecollege life, and therewards that come to such endeavor as seen in the eminent positions thaimembersof the PhiBeta Kappa Society hold at present.

ELECTIONS COMINGA T ABOUT this time every springit becomesnecessary for each member£\ of thestudent body to exercisehis votingpowerin electingstudent bod)officers, class officers, student councilmen,and fillingpositions of The David-

■sonian, Athletic Associations andother similarorganizations. Serious thoughtisnecessary to make a man realize whatan opportunityand privilegehe hasandyet remember thata great responsibilityishis inhaving theseplaces filledAlways,therefore, attempts of various kinds are made to bring these facts tc

Eattentionof all.Anarticle has appearedin the OpenForum of The Davidsonian,pointingthe value of brains, or ability to think straight, on the partof the men w<

cicct. In a number of ways,it was clearly shown then,that themen we wanlto fillour offices are not simply the men who have gainedpopularitybecauseof attainments that inno way fit them for places of influence in the studembody. We want the men who during their threeyears here havealways beerknown to stand for what is right,men who can be dependedupon in difficullsituations and under trying circumstances.

A number of men take the positionat elections that their vote does notcount amongso many;they are in a hurry probably to leave chapel, perhapsthey have no paper or pencils, and so often they leave an election withoulcasting a vote for anyone at all. Of course, such an attitude as this shouldneverbeallowed to take hold of a man. Everyone is just as much a part ofhas just as much power,and should take just as much interest in the studenibody as anyone else should. Until we all do realize this clearly, and all tryto cast our votes properly, we can neverhope to have the student body runby the proper officers and in the proper way.

Then there is a further considerationinvolved. The men we elect willbold their positions for the next collegeyear. They have to have the whole-hearted supportof at leasta majortyof the studentbodyin order to carry oultheir plansandaccomplishany thingof value. For thatreason it ispracticall)necessary that theybeelectedby a majority of all the students, not a majorityof a few voting, with a large number who always oppose whatever is laterdone, whenthose doing thekickinghad not takenenough interestinwho was«)ected to vote at all. At Davidson we havebeen fortunate inhaving littletrouble withpoliticalorganizations trying to swing votes to men who don't#eaerve them. The duty rests with every student to vote,and to vote as he

OPEN FORUMStop MakingExcuses

The weakness of the majority of men todaylies in their ability to deceive themselves l>yCXCUSCBi Many uf us are slaves to circum-stances. We allow the smallest happeningsand the most trivial events to interfere withour performance of duty. Excusemaking isamong the worst of all bad habits. Itgrowsupon us with a certain deadlincss and twinesin and out the very frame work of our char-acters, weakening the purpose of our livesand decaying the very structure of our souls.

We have all fallenprey to the moss-hackedexcuse of "didn't have time." How easy itis to cover up our laziness or procrastinationwith this old worn out, weak-kneed apology.We all have the same amount of time. Youcan always look around and see someonewhois doinga great deal more than we aredoinganil still we have the face to say thatwe didn't have time. So it is with all ex-cuses that we give to ourselves daily for theneglect of pur work or fur our failure to dothat which weought to do. Excuses areanadmission uf weakness.

I'ellows don't allow yourselves to fall avictim to this habit. Do your work as itshould he done and do it at the right timeor take your medicine like a man. Don'twhine around and admit that circumstanceshas whipped you. —

PHILOSOPHOS.

Why Not?Honor is something in the make-up of

every man that causes him to stand up forprinciples related to his virtue. The insultedman lights for it: the successful businessman works deligently to prevent blemishesfrom staining it.

Needless to say, the honor system is asuccess and a blessing here at Davidson asit is elsewhere when- it is in force. Ittrainsmen for higher ideals, ideal- which manifestthemselves by gentlemanly conduct and be-havior other than the specific items to whichthe honor is expressly applied.It is therefore contended that other col-

lege activities can be successfully controlledjif the student is made to feel that such ac-Itivities can be successfully controlled if theIstudent is made \« feel that such activities'tivities are laid to his honor. Church-going'is the next thing that should he controlled bythe honor system. It has been seen that theruling regarding the seniors in this matterhas beer) successful. Tin- same respect to

! this honor and obedience to its principle will!likewise manifest itself in the three lower!classes. Church-going will be made pleas-anter and more homelike if the students areat liberty to go any time of the day, eitherhere or wherever they might be. Where astudent feels it is his honor to go or reporthimself, he will make it more strictly a partof his weekly routine than when he is athome. It is contrary to human nature toenjoy an event under compulsion. Resortingto the honor system, though only nominallyabrogating the ruling, will render the churchservices more enjoyable, and a better placefor individual worship.

DEBATE WITH TRINITYTOBEHELD APRIL 13TH

Professor Wagner, in a short speech afterchapel on Saturday morning, told of theplans for the Trinity debate. The debateis to be heldhere on April 13, and the pre-liminaries onMarch 16.

Professor Wagner said that althoughdebating is not generally considered a sportit is,nevertheless, an intercollegiate contest.He says that although Trinity has beaten usin athletic contests, there is no reason whythey should beat us in debating. ProfessorWagner urged all society members whocould do so to come out for the preliminaries.He expressed himself as willing to help any-one who desires aid in preparing this debate.The query is: Resolved, that tax-exemptsecurities should be prohibited by a Con-stitutional Amendment.

EUMENEAN SOCIETYHOLDS SHORT MEETING

The regular meeting of the F.umencanLiterary Society, held Thursday, March 1,was exceptionally short and devoid ofinterest. All the program was omitted exceptthe debate in order that the members mightattend the Phi Beta Kappa installationceremonies.

A code of rules governing the action ofjudges in all debating, declamation and ora-torical contests was passed by the house.The code has been passed by the Phis, andif passed by the two remaining societies willprobably be published later.

The debaters were as follows; Aft*.Moss, Broughton; Marr, T. Xeg— Brigs,Allison, W. H. Bowie.

PANDEINICS ENJOYINTERESTINGPROGRAM

The Pandemic Literary Society, meetingfor the second time under the new adminis-tration, enjoyed a varied and interesting pro-gram. The debaters fought to the bitter endand came out with divided honors. Thehouse backed up Huie and Moore in theirassertion that the United States should havea high tariff, while the judges upheld Coxand Garrison, of the opposite side.

J. R. Maxwell waxed pathetic in his rep-resentation of "Guilty or Not Guilty," thestory of a household tragedy, caused by afanciful whim which was allowed to growinto an obsession.

The other two participants were PerrinHudgins, on for oration, and Frank Wild-man, Current Events. Hudgins gave astriking and exhaustive discourse on "Suc-cess, What It Is and How Achieved." TheCurrent Events were just the right quantityof news and that would be interesting to anywide-awake audience.

METROPHILJANS HEARAPPEALFORDEBATING

The regular meeting of the MetrophilianLiterary Society was held in Phi HallThursday night. Although many were absentthe program was better than usual. Thedebate on free tariff was upheld on theaffirmative byMcBryde and Bradford, whilethe negative was successfully defended byBrunkhardt and D. B. Wharton. This de-bate was lively and good arguments wereused on both sides. Declamations were de-livered by Patterson and Christenbury. Justbefore adjourning, Professor Wagner gavean impromptu talk, making an appeal formore interest in debating. He touched onthe faults of college debaters in general andsome methods of correcting them.

DOUGLAS McLEAN STARSINWEEKLY MOVIE SHOWIn the movies Saturday night Douglas

McLeanplayed the role of Sam Harringtonin "The Hottentot." The picture was a suc-cess from beginning to end. Although theplot was not so good, yet the picture hadthat entertaining quality which makes afellow forget his worries and troubles.

Hottentot was a horse which no one couldride, and Sam Harrington was a yachtsmanwho had a decided dislike for horses. Samhad some friends, the Guilfords, on LongIsland who were foundof horse racing. Oneday while at the Guilford home, along withothers, he took part in the pursuit of a run-away horse which carried a relative of theGuilford's. On being the first one toreachthe runaway and rescue the girl he wasproclaimed a hero.

The picture then showed how, after muchreluctance, he was induced to ride theHottentot, lie stayed on for a while butat last was thrown, taking with him thebridle and a portion of the mane. He wasmade a hero this time for being the firstone to ride the Hottentot.

In an exciting race he rode the Hottentotand won the cup for the girl whom he loved.The picture was full of hilarious fun all theway through and was enjoyed to the fullestextent.

1 " .'o.'t'.'c'.'news |A mass field meet combined with the

Military Carnival feature is planned forApril 11. During the last two years, thefour companies of Davidson's R. O. T. C.have entered into some competition of somekind for the honor Hag.

The first of these competitions was a fieldmeet. The program was very interestingto both the participants and the spectators.The winner of this meet was Company C.under the command of Cadet Captain J. C.McCaskill.

The following year each company selecteda sponsor and worked up an originalmilitarystunt and contested for the flagon ArmisticeDay. These military stunts were judged fortheir originality,precision and smoothness ofexecution. Company l\, sponsored by MissHelen Gibbs, of Davidson, N. C, represent-ing the Goddess of the Harvest, and com-manded by Cadet Captain T. M. Lowry, thepresident of the student body, was thewinner.

Today Company H is again commanded bya president of the student liody who believesthat history repeats itself. Company C iscommanded by a man, tall and slender aswas McCaskill, and, too,one with the knackof putting things across. Last year Com-pany U came a close second. This year itis commanded by an honor student and isdetermined to place first. Company A standsfor First Company, and under the leadershipof a snappy ex-service man stands an excel-lent chance of proving the correctness ofsuch a designation.

Many of the events will be spectacular.Several thrills and a close competition arein store for all. F.ach company will enterfrom eight to thirty-two men in each event.'Ihis, in connection with the scoring methodadopted, will make it hard for a company,which is depending on a few stars, to win.A high general average will stand a betterchance.

The program will be announced in thesecolumns later.

The Senior Class in R. O. T. C. will soonbegin work on the plans for a terrain exer-cise" to be held at the close of the Seniorwork. The present plans are for all com-panies to participate with a certain percent-age taking the defense as enemies, and theremainingpart of the companies will becomethe offense, attacking the enemy. CadetMajor W. J. Cooper will be in command atthese exercises.

Drills on Wednesday afternoon in thefuture will last for two hours, during whichtime the work .will be mostly on the fieldmeet tobe held April 11, and on the terrainexercises to be held later. The extra hourof drill on Wednesday will replace an hourof drill on some other day of the week,

THE REEL,STUFF

"Grandma's Boy" will be seen here nextweek. It is cue of Harold Lloyd's famousfive-reel comedies. At the time it came outit was said to \k his best comedy. Somemaintain that "Doctor Jack'* is his best.There are some, however, who still holdthat "Grandma's Boy" represents the acmeof Lloyd comedy. There is no doubt of thefact that there is more spontaneous humorin "Grandma's Boy" than in "Doctor Jack."This picture was run fur three consecutiveclays, that is, shown eighteen times, and toa crowded house each time,at the ImperialTheatre in Charlotte. There will be a I'atheReview shown along with the main feature.

On March17 the Uavidson-Cornelius Postof the American Legion will present "TheMan Without a Country."

Something of the bigness of "WhenKnighthood Was InFlower" may In' shownby the following:

It cost one million dollars to produce it.Three thousand costumes were used.Works of art were secured from several

FRESHMEN REPRIMANDEDBY COURT OF CONTROL

The Court cif Control has been functioningsteadily during the last four weeks, althoughthe student ImkIv as a whole may not beaware of the fact. Of the forty odd fresh-men to appear before the court approxi-mately one-third only of this number havebeen punished by "cnmpusillg."

One of the most beneficial helps that theCourt of Control is rendering tin* fresh-men is little realised by the uppcrclassmeu,owing to the fact that only the striking re-sults of the court's functioning arc notice-able— that is, the number of men campusscd.The majority of the cases that come beforethe court are those that do not require cam-puMii.r. as punishment A stilt talk to thefreshmen concerned is of a great deal morehelp to him than any penalty would be.

The numerous restrictions that have beenand will be placed on the entire freshmanclass demonstrates-another way in which thecourt is functioning. In past days, therewould have been many freshmen who wouldnever have felt the pain of a sophomore'spaddle, whereas these restrictions are reach-ing all freshmen and affect all in the.samemanner.

The one thing, perhaps, that hinders thework of the Court of Control is that onlyone means of punishing freshmen has beendevised as yet. This is the system of cam-pusing. The court would appreciate thesuggestion of any meansof punishment thatany member of the student body may deemadvisable. The only procccdurc necessaryto put such a suggestion before the Court isto tell some member and the suggestion willbe carefully considered.

HORSE SHOE PITCHINGSURESIGN OF SPRING

The annual report of the Davidson Horse-shoe enthusiasts is long past due and whilehorseshoe pitching itself is a sure sign thatspring is here, the fact that the annual reportis coming out is a positive proof that oncemore the delightful sport is in season. Notin the sense that oysters or fish arc in seasonbut professionals arc turning out for practice.The best dope on the line-up for the team isas follows : Arbuthnot and John D. Mc-Connell for the singles and Bradley, Mc-Comb, Jack Beall and Black for the doubles.Black is new to the sport since he resides inthe barracks where they pitch according tothe rules laid down in the I'ing-Pong book.'Ihe team will pitch this year according toHoyle.

Coach Aikcn claims that the prospects areexceedinglybright for a fine team and prom-ises to cop the State championship. He istrying to teach the team some form at pres-ent as he says that is what counts. Thesporting element of the campus is lookingforward to the first match which will be

against the strong Cornelius team. MountMournc will probably be the second.

This article is supposed to be started withthe proverbial "spring is here" but thatphrase wouldn't work in with the meter andbesides the student body must know the factsof the case in order that they may turn outen masse to support the team. Cheering isforbidden at the matches but there is no ob-jection to carrying the conquering heroesoff on the shoulders of the crowd.

The students are backing the team to thelimit. Every one is full of pep for springis here.

muciou/Hiw/BUCK CURRIE DELIVERS

INSPIRATIONALTALKThe Y. M. C. A. service held Sunday

evening was second to none this term in itsimpressiveness. Buck Currie, the beloved"Y" secretary, and a man who knows con-ditions on the hill, addressed the meeting,taking for his subject, "The Renewal of theContract Between God and Man." He tookas his text Gen. 9:13, "Ido set my bow inthe cloud, and it shall be for a token of acovenant betweenme and the earth."

"There are twelve major religions," Bucksaid, "eleven of which areunreal

—but each

of which has some good points. The Chris-" tian religion is a combination of the good,

and an exclusion of the bad, of the other

"The book of Genesis tells thestory of thefoundation of this great religion, and of therelation of God and man. As man broke thefirstcovenant, Godrenewed it, and gave manas a reminder the beautiful bow, which Heset in the sky.

"The sun is shining always; the bow isalways present. Yet we, being so close toit, lose sight of its beauty. Just as a personmay behold the beauty of a forest fromafar, yet whenhe stands in the midst of thatforest lose sight of its beauty, so we, in themidst of God's blessings, sometimes losesight of Him. When you have a vision ofGod, whether the vision appears beautiful ornot depends on your relation to Him.

"The scientific definition of the rainbowcauses it to lose its beauty, but the realbeauty, the real meaning given it by God,was as a symbol, a sign, a token of DivineLove. Unless we take the real significanceof the rainbow, the significance God gave it,we cannot see its real beauty.

"Everything that is worth a great dealcomes into our lives through sorrow of somekind. The rainbow came after the fall ofman to remind man of his sorrow. It wastaken and dedicated by God as a sign ofGod's covenant with man, as a symbol of

fiDivineLove.All nature is the sign of God's hand inworld. Looking on His works in their

real significance, we cannot forget Him.

te lacrament, baptism, the Bible, the houseprayer, are God's tokens of His care for

"We see calamities, sorrows, destruction,fires;they are the work of God's hand, andwe must stand up under the calamities in-sead of becoming discouraged.

"We do not see the workings of God'sbow in our own vision, but through the eyesof faith. If wedo not see His hand in theworks of man, our faith is blind. His loveis manifest in the work of man among hisfellow-men and in the hand-shake of manwith man.

"The bow is a sign of God's faithfulness

to His contract If the contract is broken,it will be broken by man.

"Christ, the perfectman,bore His cross tothe top of the hill only to surrender Himselfto the deathof thecross. Sin retreated fromthe light of righteousness. He left Hispeace withus. 'My peaceIgiveunto thee.'

"Pat Crawford presided at the meeting,

while Vic Brown led the singing:Kretschmarplayed the piano. White and Finn furnishedinstrumental music.

EMILJOBOSCH SPEAKSTO VOLUNTEERBAND

After the songs and Scripture reading,led by Green and McBride, Emilo Boschtalked on Educational Missions in Cubabefore the Volunteer Band last Sunday.

He brought out the fact hat a missionarymust be a man. He is doing aman's work,and it is hard work,but itbrings satisfaction.

Bosch told the story of Rev.John G. Hall,who went to Cardenas, Cuba, in 1898. Hewas no longer a youngman, and besides thishe worked under many difficulties— lack ofstrength, inadequate funds, and the strongopposition of the Catholic Church. How-ever,he kept onat the wortc, and soon someof the menof the city proposed that he teachEnglish to those who wished to learn it.Ite started a school, consisting of himself asteacher, and four boys and four girls aspupils. Inside of two years there wereeighty-six pupils and the school had to bemoved to more spacious quarters. Later,Dr. Leslie Wharton, a Davidson man, tookcharge of the school because Mr. Hall wasno longer able to*r«vduct the work.

Today there are seven hundred and fiftypupils in the central schnl at Cardenas. Inthe same system, there are ten schools, hav-ing a total enrollment of four thousandpupils. Last year there were thirty-fivegraduates. Eighty-nine teaches are employed,forty-six of whom are native Cubans. TheBible is taught in these scholos, and althoughthis is strongly opposed by the CatrolicChurch, pupils have to be turned away onaccount of a lack of room. At the beginningMr. Hall received $250 a month to be spentfur the support of his school. Last year$85,000 dollars was spent for the wholesystem.

DPROFESSOR WAGNER IS

MINISTERIAL SPEAKERThe Ministerial Band, at its meeting last

Sunday morning, heard an instructive andinteresting talk by Professor Wagner on thesubject, "The Importance of Public Speakingto the Minister." "The minister," the speakersaid, "has advanced and aided the cause ofpublic speaking because the minister has hadmore opportunities for speaking, and hashad abetter education thanmost men.

"The importance of having something tosay has a great deal to do with the successof the minister. A century ago fluency ofspeech would have deceived a large part ofthe people, but today only a few can befooled. Therefore, the minister should bean an intelligent person, with perseverence.The minister must be acquisitive, and shouldalways be on the lookout for good examplesand illustrations to bringbefore his congre-gation. The minister must be experiencedand must mix with the people at socialgatherings, because it is the ministers' in-fluence that lifts up the social world.

"The minister must choose what is im-portant, and must arrange his sermon so asto influence his people as much as possible.An authority has said that fifty per cent ofthe efficiency of a sermon depends on itsdelivery. The ministerowesit tohis calling!and to the world in which he lives to mixwith and take part in things other than re-ligious affairs. No one has the opportunityto do as much good as the minister, becausehe canalways get ahearing."

WILDCATS QUINTET(Continued from Page 1)

ten games played on foreignsoil, only threeresulted invictories for Davidson. Startingoff with the old-time fighting spirt, the Redand Black machine invaded Charlotte and

'brought back the bacon fromthe Y. M.C. A. jteam. Concord "Y" came next and putupa stiff opposition, but could not overcomethe fast work of Captain Mauze and hisscrappers.

Then the tide turned. At Charlotte,!Trinity met andchecked the triumphalmarchof the Wildcat five. We'll have to hand itito Simpson, Trinity's great forward.

Wofford and Concord "Y" were easilydefeated on Davidson's court and the starof hope againburnedbrightly above theRedand Black banner. Buta trip to four NorthCarolina Colleges dashed such hopes on therocks of disappointment On their tourthrough the Tar Heel State the Wildcats'field goals equaledor surpassed their oppon-ents' scoring from the floor,but fouls werefrequent and costly— costly to the extent ofthree games out of four. That fourth was

t the bright spot in an otherwise disastrousi.:campaign, for it was the first time inrecentt'years that 'Davidson had taken Elon into

t Camp on the Christians' court'Not to be downed by the frown of Dame

! Fortune, Coach Grey's warriors met Wake1 Forest at Davidsonand staged a come-back,-

tasting sweet revenge for the defeat of theprevious week. In this case the score wasa decisive one,27 to 17. On the home court

I the Red and Black machine was runningsmoothly, but down in the Palmetto State

1 a cog slipped somehow and two games weredropped to Clemson and Wofford, the latter

'.by aheart-rending score of 32 to 30.About this time Pat Crawford began to

strut his stuff, and Furman was defeated by39 to 34. a good finish for the SouthCarolinatrip. But Warhoss Mauze was crippled inthe Furman contest and his loss was irre-parable to the Wildcats. Guifford and Eloneach carried away the big end of a score,and the curtain dropped on Davidson's cagesport until 1924.

In reviewing the scores for the 17 games,Captain Mauze is found at the top of thelist, with 146 markers to his credit out ofthe 504 total. Captain George, early in hisbasket-ball career, won the appellation of"Warhoss" by his style of charging aboutthe floor, swooping down on the ball viathe aerial route, or divingunder anopponentto gain possession of the sphere. Mauze'sability to cover territory was astounding attimes, andhis defensive work was no minorpart of the great game played by the Wild-cat captain. Warhoss usually soared into theair and turned the ball loose while severalfeet above the floor

—always good for two

counters. From the 15-foot line CaptainGeorge also performedadmirably.

Running neck and neck with Mauze inscoring was Pat Crawford, with 144 pointsin his favor. In view of the fact that Patplayed at guard's position, his topping thelist in number of field goals is the more re-markable. Crawford was easily the bestrunning guard seen on Davidson's floor thisyear, and ought to land a berth on themythical all-state five. Certainly it will bea long time before D. C. finds another PatCrawford. He and Warhos will be losseshard to replace onnext year's team.

Red Lairdlanded third place in the art ofdropping the pill through the leather. 110counters were due to Red's fast playing andsure aim. Coming as a Freshman, Red hasdecidedly made good this year, and will bethe only Freshman to receive the coveted"D" in basket-ball this season. With threeyears ahead of him, great things can beexpectedof Laird.

At the other forward position, Staley andBeall both did great work, and not a few ofthe season's scores were made by these fast,hard-playing Wildcats. Beall, a letter manlast year, kept up his good record this year.Staley rose to prominence this season andhis playing was steady, consistent, often. flashy. Both Mac and Staley could be de-pended on to give the enemy everything theyhad.

*

Figuring in terms of points doesn't givedue credit to Sook Boggs, who stuck aroundthe enemy's territory and messed up count-less attempts to get at their goal. Sookwas airtight on defensive work, and hiservices wereinvaluable to the Poison Squad.Two more yearsof work with the .Wildcatsought to make Boggs a terror to anyopponents.

Nappy Davis, having won his letter aguard last year, was given the more difficu!task this season of playing center, guard oforward, wherever needed. At any one othese positions he ran rings around hiopponent,specializing in dribbling the lengthof the court through the whole defendingteam. Nappy ought to step into WarhosMauze's shoes at the pivot positionnext yeawithout any trouble.

McConnell and Elkins rounded out theWildcat squad. Both did their part inmaking the fighting felines the scrappersthat they were, the former at guard, thelatter at forward.

DCHRISTIAN ENDEAVORS

DISCUSS TRUTHFULNESSThe plan of a model prayer meeting of

Christian Endeavor was followed by J. M.Garrison, leader of the Christian EndeavorTraining Class last Sunday. The topic usedwas the one for February 25, which was,"Truth Telling." Talks were made by sev-eral members. A. B. Williford talked onthe subject, "How Do Christian EndeavorSocieties Help Us to Be Truth Lovers?"He brought out the fact that the exampleof Christ must be followed as nearly aspossible in order that one may be a lover oftruth. He also stated that our lives mustbe shining examples of truth to others.

J. L. McLean spoke on "How Can WeOvercome the Temptations of Life?" Inanswer to this he said that a deep spirituallife must be followed. He mentioned someof the facts brought out .by Doctor Richardsin his sermon that morning, He said thatme must go to the Bible for examples of"Thus taith the Lord." Temptation comesto anyone through selfish motives, and theonly way to clear ourselves of these selfishmotives is to live a deep, spiritual life.

E. O'Connor spoke on "The World-Wide IValue of Truth." He touched upon thetruthfulness of anation and of an individualunder three heads, truthfulness to God, toideals and to fellowmen. He stated that itis universally human for a man to honortruth.

L. L. Deck gave a picture of a store inIndia where every member of a family hasail interest, and they all have an individuallock on the safe because each are afraid thatanother member of the family will take apart of his money. The meeting was thrownopen for discussion and B. lT. Ratchfordmentioned Benjamin Franklin's policy ofhonesty being the best policy. There is noway to measure the amount of harm doneby one little bit of untruthfuiness.

WINDOW WEIGHTSWORKWONDERS FORKIMSEY

Pcrservance to the end will always tell, isan old saying which is applicable to PatKimse^. When Davidson's wrestling teamwas completely swamped by Trinity lastweek Pat was the sole survivor of the dis-aster. All the patent medicine advertisersare trying their best to get this Wildcat topose as a second Earl Leidcrman and towrite testimonials for their wares. Pathasn't decided whether to accept an offerfrom the Tanlac or the Nuxated Iron people.

This hero thinks he sees a way to amassa small fortune but he says that he cannottell a lie as his victory is all due,not to anypatent medicine, but to rigorous training,carried on every day.

The first speaker of the evening wasDr. J. M. McConnell, who gave a shorthistory of Phi Beta Kappa as a whole, andtold of the incidents connected with thesecuring of the Gamma Chapter forDavidson. The organization was founded at"William and Mary College on Dec 5, 1776.It was discontinued at intervals, but eachtime was rcorRanizcd by former members,Ix'iiiK, as Doctor McCunncll said, "a truecase of apostolic succession." The tirst twoinstitutions into which chapters wire intro-iliiced were Harvard and Yale. Since itsinception. Phi Beta Kappa has grown tre-mendously, until today there arc 95 chaptersembracing most of the greater institutions oflearning and the most famous scholars ofthe country.

Davidson,according toDoctor McConnell.has applied for a chapter since 1916. Afterrecommendation! hadbeen received from thechapters of the organization at the Uni-versity of North Carolina, Washington andl.ce,Johns Hopkins and William and Mary,and after careful investigation of ourscholastic standards, the charter was finallygranted. This is the third chapter to be in-stalled in North Carolina, there lieing chap-ters formerly established at the Universityand at Trinity College. Phi Beta Kappa,lieinp entire a scholastic organization, willtake the place of the local Miinir society,and to a larRC extent the Honor Roll.

The next event of the evening was thepresentation of the charter to the collegeby Doctor Chase. He was introduced byDoctor Martin as "our friend the enemy,President of Carolina." Doctor Chase firstannounced the formation of the GammaChapter at the secret session of the after-noon. He then proceeded to remove thehclief that high scholastic standing in collegeis not compatible with success in life byenumerating the many famous men who aremembers of Phi Beta Kappa. He then readthe charter, which was addressed to themembers of the organization already atDavidson before the formation of theGamma Chapter. These were DoctorsMartin, Shewmake and Porter and Pro-fesor Wood. As a conclusion he officiallypresented the charter to Davidson College.Doctor McConnell received the charter andmade the response to Doctor Chase.

Under the able and skill-ful leadership of Captains Mauze and Lind-crmood, whose reputation in the wreckingline fully justified their appointment, thehowlingmob which craved the sound of fall-ingpillars and crashing cornices was organ-ized into a crack gang of destroyers whichrivaled KingDynamite indestructive powers.

Due to the timely foresight and wisdom ofthe worthy leaders the College was savedconsiderable expense in the matter of hiringexperts to demolish the remains. The factthat such experts as the two captains, GoalLewis and Sam Summers, lent their aid free"f ch&rge was greatly appreciated by theauthorities, and they truly deserve horriblemention,

BARNYARD GOLF ONCEi MOREFAVORITE SPORT

With the advent of the soft, warm daysi of Spring and the swat of the baseball bat

against the old horschide, comes Davidson'sI latest and most genteel sport— that of the

ancient art of tossing the horse-shoes or, asit is called by the vulgar, "barnyard golf."Ineverynook and cranny of the campus notappropriatedbyother sports, the "golf links"arc being rapidly whipped into shape, andthe ring tossers are getting their arms limberand their eyes sharp in anticipation of manypleasant games of this honorable art.

Hojrsc-shoes are scarcer than dancingmasters at Davidson, and the yokels of thesurrounding territory are prone to leave heirsteeds at hnme when they come to town forfear of them being denuded of their springfootwear. Of equine bootcry there is adearth, and Hiram Sharpe says thathe can-not get enough shoes together to get himselfin shape for spring training. Bob McLeodand Pick McMillan started theirs early andhave now gotten to where they can toss acollar nut of twenty shots at the stake. It isrumored that there have been several fightsamong the denizens of Georgia as to whichone got on the "links" first.

The members of the fair sex who havebeen recent visitors on the campus have beenduly initiated into the rudiments of thegame and have shown marvelous proficiency.Red Smith has shown his willingness toteach themat any time, and is seriously con-templating starting a class of tossers. Plansare hcingmade to ask the college authoritiesto provide letters for he noble exponentsof this game, whichbids fair to overwhelmeven the game nf throwing the bull. Pick'em up and lay 'em down, boys, it's goodtraining for the merry life of a blacksmithnr the like.

The Fine Art of KissingBy A. WISE GIE

(People will kiss! Yet only one in tenthousand know how to extract themaximumof bliss from ruby lips. And yet it is simple,at least for the initiated. Follow thesedirections for best results :)

First, know with whom you are clinching—don't make any mistakes, although a mis-take maybe a good one.

Don't jump like a cat for a mouse andsmack the dainty thing on the arm, or inthe ear, or on the head.

Do not be in ahurryIThe gentleman should be taller, although

this isn't absolutely necessary. He shouldhave a clean face, a kindly eye and a mouthfull of expression

Don't be anxious to kiss ina crowd. Twoare plenty to corner and nab a kiss, morewould spoil the fun.

Take the left hand of the female in yourright. Let your hat go. Throw your leftarm over the shoulder of the lady and slipit around to her right side below her arm.

Don't be inahurryIHer left arm is in your right— let there be

faint pressure on that, not like the grip ofa vise, but a gentle grasp full of thought,respect and electricity.

Do not be inahurryIHer head lies on your shoulder. You are

Iheart to heart. Look deeply into her half|closed orbs. Gently, but firmly, press herito your vest. Stand firm, be brave, but donot be in ahurry! Her lips are almost open.Lean slightly with your head, take carefulaim— the lips meet, the eyes close, the heartjopens, the soul rides through tempests, butdo not be in ahurry I Heaven opens beforeyou, the earth flies from under your feetlike ablazing docket across the evening sky.Don't be afraid. No fuss, no noise, nofluttering, no squirming. You are twangingthe golden chords of ecstacy.

Do not be in a hurry1

DR. SMITH TALKS(Continued from page 1)

Russia, where it has almost wrecked halfa continent, but also in the disregard ofauthority in America, a thing so manifestin the young people of today.

But what is the way out? When the shipof civilization is Hearing the rocks we canhear the rudder chains creak and we knowthat there is a wise pilot at the helm. Thischange is already beginning to make itselfmanifest in three ways. First, we see theincreasing brotherhood of the Christianworkers of the world. They arc strivingeven now to repair the damage done when\science broadened out and churches wereengaged in petty quarrels among themselves.The next great step forward is the awaken-iing of the churches to the necessity ofChristian education for their young people.Today, more than ever before, the Chris-tians are giving to their schools and so arcaiding in the spread of moral culture.Finally there is a universal movement foreducation among all classes and conditionsof people. All these forward steps arc thesure signs of the omnipresent power of thepilot at the helm.

Such being the case, what are our duties?They are threefold. Our first task is tospread moral culture, the principles ofChristianity, justice, unselfishness and de-votion to the welfare of our fellow man.The second line of action is to spreadevangelism, enlightenment and education toall people by every possible means;and thethird is the stern duty of suppressing alltypes of lawlessness and the reinforcing ofall institutions of law and order. Then, andnot until then, will the peril of Bolshevismbe safely passed and the new era inaugurated.

This is the inspiring platform on whichall lovers of law and order and human wel-fare can unite with the inspiring certainty 'that, with the help of God, through theseinstrumentalities, our future civilization willbe marked, not by the bloody tyrannyof theproletariat or the ignorant rule of the mob.which would threaten the very existence of icivilization of itself, but by the simultaneous l

rising into the full realization of theircitizenship of the great brotherhood of en-lightened free and happy people of thenations of the world.
