THE CADET ISSUED BT THE CORPS OF VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE VOL. XIII LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, MARCH 13, 1920 No. 20 V. M. I. WINS SOUTH ATLANTIC TITLE WORK BEGUN ON IMPROVEMENTS AT INSTITUTE Plans Being Drawn Up. for Con-struction of New Buildings— Work To Be Started in Near Future ^ ^ Col. W. H. Couper, of the class of 1904, is no'wln Lexington working on plans f o r a gigantic expansion of the Institute's facilities. He is a con-struction engineer, one of his biggest undertakings being the constructon of Camp Jackson, S. C. One of the first of the contemplated improvements will be the construction of an athletic fieldj, another, the erection of an alumni building. The present plan o f -enlargement has proved inadequate f o r the widened scope. of the Insti-tute, and it is now necessary to draw up a plan on a larger scale. Col. Couper is selecting sites which will be suitable for proposed new build-ings. The idea is to draw up a plan which will provide for all possible needs within the next 75 or 100 years. These improvements will consist of a riding hall, New Administration BuififingT Rew Library, Alumni Building, Engineering Building, etc. However, fll£"oifity"~possible way that sufficient plans can be made is by means of suggestions on the part of cadets, professors, and alumni, as to what they consider necessary addi-tions. Such suggestions will be greatly appreciated, f o r it is desired to have the plans as complete as pos-sible. Cadets Down Tech in Mighty Struggle CLASS OF 1920 ELECTS in Last Game at Lynchburg Season Closed With Victory in Closest Contest of Year—Result in Doubt Until Last Few Seconds—Bacharach, Summers and Parrish Prove Stars of Game (Continued on Page Five) TheCadets returned from Lynch-burg after one of the hardest fought games in the basketball history of this section with the scalp of V. P. I. and the Championship of the South Atlantic states hanging to their belts. The game was a worthy and thrill-ing climax to the most successful seasons the Cadets have had in many a year. The big team fought f o r the victory during every minute of play and Tech went down with colors fly-ing and the knowledge that they had put up a battle deserving the highest praise. At no stage of the contest were they out of the running, and they threatened to leave the floor in the triumph of victory during every second of the game. At every point the excitement ran high, and the score never varied by more than two or three points. Both quints put up the fastest exhibition of basketball seen in Lynchburg and the tide of victory turned f r om one to the other every f e w seconds. The encounter was fast and furious f r om the first toss up until the referee blew his whistle at the end. There was no let-up in the killing pace set VALEDICTORIAN W. A. Winston Chosen To De-liver Farewell Address of First Class j during the first f ew minutes of play and the outcome was in doubt until the last second. Though the game was marked with a large number of fouls on both sides, these were caus- | ed without excpetion by the speed of j the play and not by any roughness on j the part of either side. It was by t f a r the cleanest exhibition to be found anywhere, and throughout the struggle the highest traditions of the sport were maintained ? I It is exceptionally hard to say who starred in a game where five men on each side played the most excellent game of their careers. In this case the details of the score can give no idea of the real game. Every man I was in there with all the skill and I fight he possessed. Summers and Bacharach did the best work f o r V. M. I., while Parrish put up the best game of the Tech representatives. Bunting was handicapped by the Tech defense which seemed directed almost entirely upon him, but he played an excellent game and man-aged to slip in one field goal.
