Quinlan, for the past three years wrestling mentor at V . M. I., has selected an All-South At-lantic grappling team. Coach Quinlan is well qualified f o r his task, as his teams have twice been claimants f o r the Southern championship, and have met with defeat only three times in GENERAL AND MRS.

They intended staying at the Breakers but, owing to the crowded and con-fused conditions resulting f r om the f i r e , had to g i v e this up and l e f t that night f o r visits to St. Augustine, Savannah and Char-leston.

The Superintendent added that no f i x e d rule is being fol-lowed, but that the circum stances in the individual cases would govern the action taken. He stated, however, that some standard regulation in this re-spect might be formulated.

SUPERINTENDENT TELLS ALUMNI OF CONDITIONS AND ESTIMATES NEEDS Plans For Betterment and Ex-pansion Divulged. The second meeting of the student branch A. I. E. E. this month was held last Monday. Two very good lectures were de-livered during the short course of the meeting. The f i r s t speaker of the clay was E. T. Morris, of the Second class, who delivered an address on the "Development of the In-candescent Lamp." He gave a brief history of the lamp and its constituents, starting with the methods employed by the an-cient Egyptians f o r the harden-ing of copper and tracing the development through successive stages to the present Edison lamp. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Morris' talk, Coi. S. W. Ander-son added a f ew words in con-nection with the main subject as to the manufacturing of the G. E. M. and other modern lamps. The next address was made Brother Alumni: I am glad to have an oppor-tunity to present to you a brief statement of my views of the conditions at the Institute as I f i nd them and an estimate of the improvements needed. My predecessor, General Nichols, has accomplished a great work during his adminis-tration lasting seventeen years. Men who have not been here since 1912 would find only a f ew buildings of their time. In every department there have been great changes and improvements to meet the increase in the size of the corps and the demand of the times. Barracks can now accommodate about 650 cadets with the possibility of increase to about 680. I believe that f or many years this will be the limit of the size of the corps and doubt the wisdom of trying to increase it. Discipline can bet-ter be maintained by having many applications f o r admission in excess of the number that can be taken, and one of the chief benefits of our system is dependent upon a high standard of discipline and training. " R i g h t now the team is in bet-ter shape than I have ever seen it at such an early period of the spring season," said Major Blandy Clarkson a f t e r Saturday afternoon practice. The fine w a r m . w e a t h e r during the last week or so has permitted the squad to get down to old-time easy running order. The aggregation is lying in wait f o r Roanoke College, which it plays here Wednesday, April 1st, in the season eye-openeer. Lynchburg College will be Sat-urday's visitors. The display of pep and lots of action seems automatic with ev-ery man as soon as he steps on the diamond. Ten min-utes spent on Alumni Field will convince every man, woman and child that the baseball sap is running wild. Crockett* and White are bid-ding strongest as slab artists, with Caldwell at his customary post behind the bat. They have erratic twisters breaking in ev A very important addition to the mounted units arrived at the stables on Friday when f i f - teen cavalry mounts were re-ceived. These are to fill vacan-cies in the cavalry unit. How-ever, it is hoped that by good handling and training these ponies will serve to augment the present string of polo mounts. In addition the services of a trainer have been procured who will tryout the new arrivals and select therefrom those suitable f o r polo, as well as paying espe-cial attention to those ponies already used in the mounted game here. The new trainer will also be helpful in assisting Lieutenant Heiberg at coaching. Another great asset to polo f a c i l i t i e s this spring will be the use of a new practice field at White's Farm. Since a good polo field must * be constantly cared f o r a practice one is need-ed in order to keep the regular, one, that on the parade ground, in the v e r y best condition. With the new field completed it is planned to stable the regular ery direction across the corners j m o u n t s a t t h e F a r m > a nd of the plate.
