J. HI. H A L L 'SCENE THE CADET PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY 1 HE CORPS OF CADETS VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE VOL. XX. L E X I N G T O N , VIRGINIA, F E B R U A R Y 7, 1927 No. 16 MID WINTER D\NCES HELD FEB. 4 AND 5 Gym Decorated In Black and White In Unique Fashion. M I K E KYSER DELIGHTS D A N C E R S WITH MUSIC A N D E N T E R T A I N M E NT Last Friday and Saturday at the gymnasium t'he annual Mid-Winter Hops -were *held. There were the -us-ual night dances and the afternoon dansant. Although the term "best yet" bas probably been applied to all of the Hops previously beld, it is our opin-ion that this particular set is tbe one for -which the term was originated. The music was furnished by "Kike" Kyser's Orchestra of Chapel Hill, N. C. This orchestra is distinctly a col-legiate organization; most of its members attend or attended the Uni-versity of North Carolina. "Kike" was the nearest thing to a perpetual motion machine that we have seen. He was an entertainment all by him-self. Benny Cash, the pianist, "sang so Divinely," as all tbe girls said, that whenever he would start sing-ing the dancers would stop and con-gregate around the orchestra plat-form until he had finished his last word. The decorations were very origin-al. Along the sides of the balcony were silhouettes in rameo shapes with a border of black and white in checker-board effect. The silhou-ettes were made by Nied, Taylor and Morgan, H. W. These men showed very marked talent in this work. The black and white effect was carried out throughout; even the center dia-mond which hung over the floor was of the checker-board design. The (Continued on Page Seven) POST EXCHANGE COUN-CIL MEETS; IMPORTANT BUSINESS TRANSACTED The Post Exchange Council met in the Post Exchange at 8:00 P. M., January 14 and Colonel Hunter Pen-dleton, President, Colonel Harding Polk, Colonel George L. Barton, Jr., Recorder, and Colonel William Cou-per, Post Exchange Officer, were present. The Post Exchange Officer pre-sented his final report from July 1, 1925, to June 30, 1926, and an in-terim report from July 1, 1926, to December 30, 1926, which were ap-proved by the council. Among the important motions be-fore the council the following have the greatest , interest for the corps: The council appropriated the sum of $400 to the V. M. I. Rifle Team, authorizing the Post Exchange Of-ficer to purchase supplies for the Rifle Team. Funds to defray the cost of in-stalling backboards and baskets for Basketball in the new gymnasium. The sum of $400 for the purchase of a new boxing ring mat. To the Athletic Association the amount of its charge account: $2,- 502.48. Twenty-five dollars for the pur-chase of Post Exchange Office equipment. The Post Exchange Officer was requested to Becure estimates of the HIGHWAY CONFERENCE DISTINCT SUCCESS; TWO DAY SESSION OFFERS SPLENDID PROGRAMS V. M. I. Grapplers Win Over Carolina 16-11 Take Four of Seven Bouts In Defeating Tarheels. M A Y F I E L D AND KULP SECURE F A L LS At the height of the dance Satur-day night the drum of Kike Kyser's orchestra from the University of North Carolina beat "attention" and one of its members announced that V. M. I. had won its wrestling match with Carolina by a score of 16-11. The already gay occasion became a joyful celebration. Tbe match at Chapel Hill was a close one, the result being in doubt until the very end. In the 115- pound class Mayfield, V. M. I., threw Uzzel, N. C., in 9 minutes, 30 sec-onds, giving V. M. I. a five-point start. Next, in the 125-pound class, Davis, V. M. I., and Motsinger, N. C., went into extra time, the Tarheel finally winning by a time advantage of a scant 58 seconds. In the 135- pound class Wilson maintained V. M. I.'s lead by winning over Lear, N. C., by a time advantage of 6 minutes, 14 seconds. However, in the 145- pound class Gardner, N. C., tied the score by throwing Moss, V. M. I., in 4 minutes, 50 seconds. In the 158- pound class Woodbury, V. M. I., and Taylor, N. C., went into extra time, Woodbury finally gaining a time ad-vantage of 5 minutes, 12 seconds, to restore V. M. I.'s lead. But Captain Warren of Carolina, after having boxed earlier in the evening with Kinchloe, Virginia's ace, and knock-ed him out, came on the mat and won over Fields, V. M. I., by a time ad-vantage of 4 minutes, 39 seconds. Thus the Bcore was again tied, 11-11, when Captain Kulp, V. M. I., en-countered Abitt, N. C., in the final and decisive match of the evening. Kulp threw his man in 2 minutes, 25 seconds, securing the victory. Many Eminent Men Speak to Engineers and State Officials RAT BOXERS DEFEAT VIRGINIA FRESHMEN Take Four Bouts, Two By Tech-nical Knockouts. The Rat Boxing team journeyed to Charlottesville Saturday, February 5, where they defeated the Virginia Freshmen by a score of 4 to 3. V. M. I. won two bouts by tech-nical knockouts and two others by decisions, while Virginia won the other three rounds by close decisions. Gordon and Chadwick both defeat-ed their opponents in the middle of the third round by technical knock-outs, and although Williams and Pal-mer were unable to floor their op-ponents, they had them feeling groggy when the bell for the close of the third round was sounded. Summary. 115-pound class—Waller (Va.) de-feated Rogers (V. M. I.) in three rounds by a judges' decision. 125-pound class—Gordon (V. M. I.) defeated Bishop (V.) by a tech-nical knockout in the third round. 135-pound class—Myers (Va.) de- CADETS SHARE BENEFITS OF CONFERENCE The V. M. I. Highway Conference, which came to a close Friday after-noon after a brilliant two-day ses-sion, was broad in its scope and cov-ered in a large measure the principle details of highway location, financ-ing, types of construction, and main-tenance. There were about 275 at-tending. V. M. I. was indeed favored in having the program and attend-ance made up of so many eminent men. Striking a great note of interest in the meetings was the question of the good of the County Unit Sys-tem. In fact, the Thursday after-noon session was devoted entirely to consideration of this plan. Would it not be better to group the various districts in the county under a Coun-ty Superintendent, doing away with the various Distrist Superintendents, thereby operating as a unit; and by pooling all resources and equipment do more effective work in a more economical manner? It was the concensus of opinion that the unit plan was a distinct advantage and should be adopted when conditions permit. To the Engineering Departments the meeting was of particular inter-est for their memb^is were excused from academic duties and given the privilege of attending the conference. In the capacity of interested listen-ers they absorbed much, part of which will be taken advantage of later on in practical application. Mr. H. G. Shirley, Chairman State Highway Commission, called the meeting to order at 10:30 Thursday morning. He introduced Colonel Pendleton, who in behalf of the Sup-erintendent of V. M. I., welcomed those attending and declared that V. M. I. was open to them all for de-liberation, consultation, and advance-ment. "The purpose of this meeting," said Mr. Shirley, "is to get together and exchange ideas and views on road construction and maintenance and to render greater service to the people of Virginia than is rendered today.

Its size and composition has not been decided as yet, but it has been assured that the precedent set last year will not be lower-ed in any respect. Since there are places yet to be filled in the cast—this in-formation has been given offic-ially— any men who are inter-ested and who have a little ability are urged to notify some member of the commit-tee. The customary "Makeovers" in the roll of officers and non-commission-ed officers of the Corps of Cadets which is always looked forward to with hopes and anxiety, was pub-lished to the Corps Jan. 27, 1927, at Supper Roll Call. The order was as follows: HEADQUARTERS Virginia Military Institute Lexington, Va. Jan. 27, 1927.' Generals Orders, No 16. I.

Continued on P w * Six) RAT QUINT'S STRING OF VICTORIES BROKEN Lose To Virginia and Woodrow Wilson High. H A D W O N FIVE STRAIGHT Woodrow Wilson High School. The Rat Basketball team met their first defeat of the season at the hands of the strong Woodrow Wilson High School quint, 49-35, last Thurs-day in Jackson Hall. The Woodrow Wilson team had a wonderfully de-veloped defense and a swift and ac-curately shooting attack. The Rats played a hard fighting game, but at all times had a large lead to over-come, and they did not seem to be able to get a well directed attack launched on the Woodrow Wilson goal. VARSITY QUINT BREAKS EVEN IN WEEK'S PLAY Down Roanoke College, But Lose To Tarheels. WORK OF HARNER, FROST, A N D MONDY OUT-S T A N D I NG Roanoke College. In one of the hardest fought games of the season the Flying Squadron took Roanoke College down on the small end of a 32 to 19 score last Wednesday. It was a clean, well played game from start to finish. Roanoke jumped into the lead at the first of the game and stayed there through the first half. V. M. I. just couldn't seem to take advant-age of their opportunities, shot after shot being tried with seemingly no success. At the same time, Roanoke was very much "right," with Diet-rich doing the most of the scoring. The half ended with the score, 12 to 10, in Roanoke's favor. Coming from behind in the second half, the Squadron got "right." Har-ner and Frost just couldn't be stop-ped. Time after time the V. M. I. guards would break up a Roanoke rally and start the invasion into their own territory where either Mr. Frost or Mr. Harner would strut their stuff and grab a counter. The whole V. M. I. team seemed always to be on the ball. For Roanoke, Jones and Deitrich were outstanding, while Harner and Frost were the luminar-ies for V. M. I. The summary: V. M. I. (32) G. F. T. Harner, f 3 2 8 B. Fulkerson, f 3 1 7 McGlone, f 0 0 0 A. Fulkerson, f. 0 0 0 Frost, c 5 1 11 Hewlett, c 0 0 Bellinger, g. (C.) 1 2 4 Mondy, g 10 2 13 6 32 (ContinuM) on Parr "rnirl V. M. I. Man Dies In Fire at Quantico Barracks Lieutenant Holderby Perishes When War-time Barracks Burn. Sweeping thi'ough a flimsy frame dwelling of war-time construction at the Marine barracks, Quantico last Saturday, fire caused the death of three persons: Lieutenant Andrew Robideau Holderby, Clotilde R. Hol-derby, his daughter, and a guest, Miss Eleanor Griffen, of Washing-ton. Lieutenant Holderby was a quali-fied marine naval flyer; during the World War he served at the subma-rine base at New London, Connecti-cut. He was the son of A. R. Hol-derby, former manager of the Rich-mond Evening Journal. Lieutenant Holderby was born in Richmond June 28, 1895. He was appointed second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1917, and was made a permanent lieutenant in October of that year. He also served in Haiti. He was educated in the Richmond schools and later attended the Institute. He was for sometime connected with the Richmond Eve-ning Journal.
