THE CADET VOL VI VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 15, 1913 NO. 18 BASEBALL CANDI-DATES CALLED OUT Seventy Men Respond to Captain Bryan's Call A call for candidates for the base-ball team was issued by Captain Bryan on , Tuesday night. About seventy men responded to the sum-mons, of whom twenty signified their intention of trying for pitcher. As this is the position that has been looked upon as weak, it is extremely gratifying to see so many men out for it. The wealth of material for the other positions seems to assure us of an exceptionally good team this year. Work has already been begun on the grounds and as soon as the weather permits practice will be held on the hill. The men trying for the batting positions have been practcic-ing in the gymnasium for some time and are in such condition now that a few days work on the hill will put them in fine fettle. The schedule this year is a hard one, but the outlook is particularly bright and it is an assured fact that V. M. I. will be as crediatbly repre-sented this year in baseball as in foot-ball and basketball. When the fine record of these teams is called to mind there is very little more to be said. With every man who is out. for the team putting forth his best efforts and every other member of the corps lending his moral and vocal support there is no reason why the coming season should not be the baseball sea-son par excellence. (lEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY GIVES VARSITY THE SCARE OF THE SEASON ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT Washington Aggregation the Best Seen on the Floor Here This Season—Going Down Before Varsity 25-12 CRITTENDEN APPOINTED ASSISTANT MANAGER Will Assist Scott With Business End of Football Next Year Much speculation has been enter-tained for the past few weeks, since the election of Youell to the captaincy of next year's football team, as to whom he would give the honor of aiding in the management of his eleven. Many men were spoken of as possibilities, all good, but he realized that he had an exceedingly hard job on his hands in the picking of a man who would prove a worthy successor for "Red" Scott, who has arranged without doubt the best sche-dule ever undertaken by a V. M. I. team since the inauguration of the sport here. However, last Monday Youell's selection was announced, and we feel that it is the wisest of many years. We join with the entire corps in congratulating him on the wisdom shown in the choice of the assistant manager of football for the year 1913 —O. B. Crittenden, '15, of Missis-sippi. "Better late than never." The above truthfully spplies to the game Wednesday night when Varsity added another scalp to the well filled belt, defeating George Washington University of Washington, 25 to 12, It was all on account of a misunder-standing between both teams, George Washington was scheduled to play here Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, and Tuesday afternoon were wired by Manager Flannagan to that effect. Their reply was that it was too late then to arrive in Lexington for the game at that time, and could only get here late that night, in fact too late to play. For some unaccount-able reason they arrived in time for the game at 8 o'clock, after drill had been pulled off so as to have a free afternoon Thursday. To sum up the entire performance, notice the result. Varsity has bucked many different teams this season at home and abroad, and can truthfully say that this one is undoubtedy the best of the series. Every man of the five of George Washington were fast men in every position. Attention is especially call-ed to the playing of their two guards McNalley and Regis, captain. They are the two best seen on V. M. I. floor in many a day. Regis deserved unlimited praise for the way he stuck to the game throughout, however hav-ing time called several times on ac-count of a recent operation he had performed. Varsity as usual were there with the goods and at times seemed some-what slow on the floor came up to the required standard and took a tight hold on their "rep." Leech taking a fast running start and throwing a perfect and pretty goal by a overhead movement, and Battens goal from a difficult angle along the side lines, after being replaced for Stroud at center, were two of the many features deserving attention, Lowry as usual was there in the same old style by his running the floor with the ball and Clarkson's ability to throw the sphere the entire length of the field getting it out of reach of their opponents at every practicable stage were addi-tional laurels for the Varsity. 3» Since the beginning of the season of basketball this year, the one no-ticeable fault that seemed could not be remedied was the inability to throw goal from foul. No one real-ized this more fully than the men themselves, and the practice of late has been in the main to improve thi-default. The game Wednesday night cretainly showed the improvement and was noticed by every spectator. Out of ten chances taken by Ewing in throwing goals from foul nine proved to add nine additional points to Varsities string. One regrettable incident of the game was the small number of Ca-dets present. The fact was excus-able, for not having the required num-ber of Lexingtonians as usual, the game was not advertised in town at all. In some respects it was excus-able for the men in barracks, for they were not notified until a very few minutes before the game started. Even then it was turned out several times, and snould have had a better attendance. Watch yourself and don't "gum the game." Between halves McMillian and Sat-terfield led the corps in several cheers which with the small crowd came out well in the end. Box Score: V. M.

Wins State Championship On last Saturday night Washington and Lee, by defeating the basketball team of the University of Virginia in a hotly contested game in Lynchburg, won the undisputed claim to the championship of the state. The game was cleanly played throughout, but hard fought and although completely outclassed Virginia put up an excel-lent exhibition in the face of the odds. There will be an entertainment at 8 o'clock tonight for the benefit of athletics The attraction will be Miss Louise Williams in a portrayal of old times in the South. The Staunton Leader has the following to say of Miss Williams: "Staunton has never seen another artist just like Miss Williams. Born in Georgia, her father having been a gallant Confederate chieftan, she knows from first hand observation the quaint old Southern characters she por-trays. As she told in perfect dialect weird darkey ghost yarns and sang the old Southern songs it was as if one had been transported by some magical process from the present into the past. "Very pretty, a representative type of Southern beauty gifted with unus-ual historionic and elecutionary abili-ty, she is a real artist." From this laudatory comment it can readily be seen that the small sum of twenty five cents will be far from wasted, if spent to see this perform-ance. Besides, every cent that can be scraped up for athletics is necessa-ry and all are urged to attend. During the performitice the Glee club and the Mandolin club will ren-der several selections, and with this added attraction, the evening is Cer-tain to be one of the most enjoyable for many weeks. Military Notes For the first time in its history, Dartmouth University will have a gymnasium team. It is probable that it will soon compete with other universities. Although the change in weather conditions is not exceptionally notice-able, owing to the approach of the in-auguration, the battalion has come out from its winter quarters and is fast rounding into shape for its trip. Only one battalion drill has been held as yet, but company drill i s in order and the men are showing that the long lay off from field work has not decreased their proficiency in the least. No fear need be entertained for the performance in Washington. Practice on the range has been held for the past few weeks during drill and parade periods by small squads at a time, and the results ob-tained have been very gratifying. Owing to the limited time allowed for this instruction it is of necessity very slow, and it will be many months yet before the entire course is completed. However the practice is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and the men are fast gaining proficiency in this branch of the military duty. What We Have Done We earnestly solicit the patronage of our readers for advertisers in The Cadet and the Bomb. These adver-tisers make possible this phase of col-lege activities.
