FIFTY-EIGHT MORE TO PINE THE CADET I S S U E D BY THE CORPS OF VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE VOL. XVI. L E X I N G T O N , VIRGINIA, MONDAY, A P R I L 16, 1923 No. 22 Cadets Win on Diamond, Track and Dance Floor EASTER HOPS GREAT SUCCESS Rainy Weather Fails To Dampen Spirits of Day or Dodo The long deferred Easter Hops were held Friday and Sat-urday nights with the largest number of girls in attendance ever known at any V. M. I. Hop with the exception of Finals. The gymnasium was very ef-f e c t i v e l y decorated in orange and amber shades, interspersed with artificial jonquils and wis-teria. This e f f e c t was accent-uated by streamers thrown f r om the ceiling. The Friday night hop was opened by Miss Dorothy Stell-ing, of Augusta, Ga., w i th Cadet Mays; the Saturday night Hop by Miss Roberta Moore, of Roa-noke, Va., with Oadet Caldwell. Instead of the usual supper the added attraction was a soda fountain f r om which soft drinks were served. The dancing was continued until a quarter to two this night and to twelve o'clock Saturday night. The music, furnished by Gar-ber Davis's orchestra, was od the f i r s t night and exceptional-ly good the second night. A very successful dansant was held Saturday afternoon f r om four f i f t e en t o a f ew min-utes to six. The Cadet Orches-t r a deserves to be compliment-ed upon the excellent music it supplied f o r the occasion. Among those dancing were: Miss Martha Stellings, Au-gusta, Ga., with Cadet Mays. Miss Roberta Moore, Roa-noke, Va., with Cadet Caldwell. Miss Lillian Everett, Suf-folk, Va., with Cadet Causey. Miss xMi'llicent Blanton, Shel-by, N. C., with Cadet Page, F. Miss Martha Bell, Atlanta, Ga., with Cadet Page, F. Miss Ann Hardy, Charlotte, N. C., with Cadet Pettyjohn. Miss Liza Mason, Halmpton, Va., with Cadet Shemvin. Miss Elizabeth Robinson, Richmond, Va., with Cadet Derryberry. Miss Anne Brockenborough, Richmond, Va., with Cadet S'hervin. Miss Margaret Vaughn Greensboro, N. C., with Cadet Penniman. Miss Emily Woodward, Nor-folk, Va., with Cadet Pretlow. Miss Virginia Herbert Wil- Cadet Winning Faroe As a Sculptor The Irene Leache Memorial Association of Norfolk has re-cently announced that William Simpson, a member of the sec-ond class, was awarded the Finley F. Ferguson Prize for sculpturing in their annual prize contest. The work he presented—a small model for a medallion suitable to adorn a cenotaph to commemorate Vir-ginia's sons who gave their lives in the World Wara—wag highly praised by the judges. Simpson has won several hon-ors in this line, in addition to designing the 1924 class ring. Sir Moses Ezekiel, to whose masterly hand was due the Statue of "Virginia Mourning Hed Dead" and the equestrian statue of Jackson, was once a cadet here. We wish Simpson as great success. ENGINEERS TAKE TRIP TO WASHINGTON Blain and Morris of the First Class Civil Engineering De-partment made a very instruc-tive and interesting trip to Washington on the 9th and 10th as the guests of the Portland Cement Association., This trip, with all expenses paid, is given annuailly by the Cement Asso-ciation to the two Civil Engi-neers attaining the highest pro-ficiency in the study of High-way Engineering and naturally is a strong incentive to hard work in this study. On the morning of the first day the cadets were carried to the test farm of the United States Bureau of Publiq Roads and on inspection trips of the Alexandria-Washington high-way and the experimental road recently constructed fey the gov-ernment. In the evening the large plant of the Nel Stone Company was visited. On the second day an auto-mobile trip was taken to study the construction of nearby roads in Maryland. During this (Continued on Page Six) Flying Squadron Defeat Maryland 87 to 39 In Slow Track Meet In their first meet of the va-son the V. M. I. track team eas-ily won over the University of Maryland here Saturday after-noon, despite the 'low tempera-ture and extremely slow track. The Cadets scored 87 points to Maryland's 39. V. M. 1. took 10 f i r s t places out of the 14 events. In the hundred, Foster went beyond expectations by winning in 10.1. Costello won second place, while Simmons, of Mary-land, came in third. The time was declared to be excellent, considering the nature of the track. Foster also won the two-twenty by a good lead. By an unusual sprint Bur-gess, who had been trailing in the four-forty, won in 54 sec-onds flat. This time was also commented upon by the judges. Briggs took an early lead in the half mile, Which he held to win out. He was hard pushed by Endslow, who made a sensa-tional finish. Crook, the Maryland star and captain, took f i r s t place in both the mile and two mile. In the mile he outsprinted Gwath-mey to win, whereas in the two mile he set a fast pace, which he held to the finish. Costolo and Kellogg, both of V. M. I., took first and second places in the two-twenty low hurdles, respectively. Pugh, who tripped the next to the last hurdle, was in second place when he fell. Brame overtook Pugh in the one-twenty high hurdles and won by a two-yard lead. Beers, of Maryland, mo-nopolized the field events. He was the chief point winner for his team and took first place in the discus throw, shot put and won second and third place in the Javelin and high jump, re-spectively. Farley and Moore, both of V. M. I., tied for first place in the pole vault. Sime won the high jump, while Brame took first place in the broad jump. Kellog won the Javelin throw. Summary. 100 yard dash—Foster, V. M. I . ; Costolo, V. M. I.; Simmons, NINE TAKES FIFTH GAME Wet Condition of Diamond Prevents Game With V. P, I. PAGE HURLS MASTERFUL GAME PILLOW GETS HOME RUN For the third week of the present baseball season, only one game could be stage 1, dm to the bad weather that m - ied. The encounter with V. P. I., which was to have taken place Saturday, had to be called off because of a severe cold spell. I t seemed to be more favorable f o r football than basebaJll, and in addition to this, there was rain here from Thursday night until late Saturday afternoon. It is possible that the game lost will be made up when we go to Blacksburg, as a double header, in all probability, will be fought out between the old rivals. In the one f r a y that was com-pleted, the Cadet nine looked better than at any previous time this spring. The hitting A. S. C. C. Show Continued Progress Hunt, Chapin, Southall, and Brower Speak. At the last meeting of the Student Chapter of the A. S. C. E., Hunt, Southall, Brower and Chapin discussed most interest-ing subjects having to do with Water Supply. These men dealt with their subjects in a finished and interesting man-ner which showed the benefit derived from these meetings and the desirability of a Stu-dent Chapter. Hunt was the first speaker. He told of laying a water pipe line under extreme difficulty, a project in which he participat-ed and learned some important facts. He pointed out the error made by many small towns in their attempt to save by buying cheap and second hand mater-ials. While Hunt did not work until the completion of this project, he learned of their fi-nal success. Filtration and Water Supply in Ashland, Va., was the sub-ject of Chapin's talk. The pre-vious source of supply f o r this town became inadequate and has fallen off to some extent, but the loose fielding has been greatly improved upon. AU though the work with the stick was not so frequent, hits were produced when they meant runs and a team that can hit in th& pinches is all that can be asked for. From present indications, everything looks very favorable to our running a hard race f or the Southern honors, if we don't win them. Scott Pack still continues in •the van of the hitters, while Ryder and Saunders lost ground during the week. Hatchett picked up, too, and seems to have his eye on the ball in fine shape now. This week, we cross bats with Hampden-Sidney on Wednes-day, while on Saturday the team travels over to Charlottes-ville to do battle with the Uni-versity aggregation. Both 'matches are expected to prove 'hard-Dough t affairs, but the whole Corps is behind the Big Teatm and pulling to a man for it. The Richmond Game. Showing a real dash and vim, and with the "pep and g o " that always characterizes V. M. I. teams, the Flying Cadet nine came through in great style last Wednesday when, with Frank Page at his best on the mound, we applied a coat of whitewash to the University of Richmond aggregation here on Alumni Field by the count of 3 to 0. The team displayed a real re-versal of f o rm after a mediocre brand of ball in their first two weeks of play, and the fighting spirit was there in plenty when we stacked up against the Capi-tal City club last week. Two errors were made, but they were on hard chances, and they show-ed that the men were in the game at all stages to even get their hands on such chances as they miscued on.
