The mu-sic was furnished by Jake Summer-lin's "Ramblin' Keydets" supported b y four or five members of the W a s h i n g t o n and Lee orchestra.

A l l seven bills abolishing state scholarships in tax-supported col-leges, doing f o r the sons and daugh ters of certain selected citizens what the state does not do f o r the sons and daughters of other citizens, were passed by the House of Delegates last Saturday without debate. Bill 104 repealing the state cadet-ships at V. M. I. was adopted 55 to 15. The repeal of these state cadet ships along with the repeal of the state scholarships was strongly rec-ommended by the education commis sion, which worked out the plan of a students loan fund as a much more democratic method for tax supported institutions. The scholarship repealers met with no opposition in the House, but as to what the Senate will do with the bill is a matter of conjecture.

Emphatic disbelief that Nicholas Orem, Jr., of Hyattsville, Md., was injured by hazing at the Virginia M i l i t a r y Institute was expressed by Superintendent W i l l i am H. Cocke in a formal report to Governor Harry Flood Byrd on F e b r u a r y 17. An in-vestigation was asked by the Gover-nor following a complaint by the boy's f a t h e r that his son was serious-ly, if not permanently, injured by brutal hazing at V. M. I. The Governor issued without com ment tfie report of the investigation made by General Cocke. A copy of the report will be sent to the boy's f a t h e r and he will be given an op-portunity to reply to General Cocke. " I do not believe that this boy was injured by hazing," the report of the Superintendent says. "His father claims that he was struck the latter part of September and in October. He remained here until the 9th of Dec-ember, and made no complaint to anyone while here of having been in jured. He went to the hospital at 2 p. m. on September 27th and remain-ed there until after breakfast next morning. His trouble was diagnosed as a slight cold and indigestion. " I had a careful investigation made by the commandant as to the cause of the boy's leaving here. The boy came to my office on the 8th of Dec-ember and told me he thought that he had better leave on account of his resistance to the old cadets and a f e ar that they might retaliate.

TUCKER WRITES MESSAGE TO CORPS Stresses Loyalty To Alma Mater. The editor has kindly asked me to write a brief message for the CA-D E T , and I am glad to accept his invitation, in order that I may ex-press in this way my appreciation of the delightful hospitality that I have received during my visit to the Institute. So many of my friends and kinsmen have, at one time or another, been associated with the V. M. I. that I have come f u l l y pre-pared to feel at home, but the court-esy and cordiality of the corps have exceeded all my expectations. As my week draws to a close, I leave with most pleasing impressions of the life and with sincere admiration f o r the Spirit of V. M. I. It happens that I have spent over twenty years of my life in college communities; so it has been partic-u l a r l y interesting to me' to roam around the barracks and to renew my contact with the undergraduate life. W h i l e each institution has its own customs and its own indefinable spirit, yet I am rather impresed with the fact that, the world over, human nature is much the same—that in-stitutions, like individuals, have more in common than they have in dif-ference. The question which I would raise and which you can help me answer is: What constitutes loyalty to ones A l m a Mater? There is, of course, first of all, the a f f e c t i on that we have for the par- Last Friday night Dr. Beverly Tucker, D. D., of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Richmond, terminated the series of lectures which he delivered to the corps of cadets. His first ad-dress on the 12th of February was followed by one each night of the en-suing week. Dr. Tucker accepted the invitation extended to him by the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. The cabinet is composed of eight cadets elected f r om the various church clubs. Dr. Tucker in his first address gave as his text the words of Jesus, " F o l l o w me, and let the dead bury the dead." He interpreted this in a way that bore special significance to the cadets. He also spoke of prob-lems that are confusing to the youth of today. These explanations, to-gether with the preceding text and with an interpretation of Christianity on a working basis, served as the keynote of his series of lectures. Monday night Dr. Tucker empha-sized the fact that to succeed in life one must have a definite object. The obvious failures, he said, are caused by vainly striking the air. A clear-cut goal is the principal aid in life. To attain this objective, it is neces-s a r y to be a Christian with the cour-age of all your convictions, and to be able to stand up f o r your ideals and live true to them. Tuesday night Dr. Tucker clearly showed what should be the require-ments and principles of a real Chris-tian. He explained that men are needed in the church who are willing to dare things, men who are willing to break away f r om old, restricting conventions, men who can accomplish things and give a new interpretation of ethics on a basis of practicability. Christianity, he declares, is no creed of mysticism or impossible ideals. It is not an unattainable ethereal phantasy. It is a liveable doctrine and can be applied to every phase of modern life. It is a forceful, pro-gressive, and realistic creed which Varsity Wrestlers Win From Carolina, But Lose to Duke Meet V. P. I. Saturday for Southern Confer-ence Wrestling Title DUKE, 21; V. M. I., 6. Thursday afternoon the varsity wrestling team suffered its f i r s t de-f e a t of the season to the strong Duke matmen, conquerors of the Navy, by a score of 21-6. There was plenty of action and all of the bouts were close and hard fought meles. Applewhite of Duke drew first blood when he gained the narrow time advantage of 2:18 minutes over Woodward. Goode in the 125 pound class succeeded in throwing Thomp-son with a half nelson and body hold a f t e r 6:08 minutes of wrestling. A l t h o u g h showing himself to be the superior matsman, Fields lost to Starnes, Duke, by the minimum of an 1:18 minute time advantage. Preston, in the 145 pound class, gain ed a decisive time advantage over W a r r e n of the Carolinians with 8:31 minutes to his credit. The cadet welter has gone through the seas so f a r undefeated. McCrary proved himself the mas-ter of Cole, Duke, by receiving a 4:44 minute time advantage over the lat-ter in the extra periods. McCrary is also undefeated in his start-n for the season. Haase and Jones wrest-led the regular periods to a draw, but the cadet was thrown in the initial extra period with a half nelson and body bar.

W r i g h t and J. L. Minter, editor and business manager, respectively; who were elected by their class last November to pilot the '29 Bomb. The staff seems to be composed of men who are not only well fitted for the as-signments, but have the time to spare for the work. With such an organization the '29 Bomb should be second to none as a college annual. The following cadets compose the literary staff. N. B. Tucker, Assist-ant Editor; L. P. Thomas, Literary Editor; A. D. Smith, Art Editor; T. F. Thompson, Athletic Editor; J. H. Kenyon, Photographic Editor; J. C. Collins and W. M. Wilson, Outrage Editors; J. B. Watson, C. M. Beamer, J. Stuart White, and G. W. Burkitt, Associate Editors. The business staff is as follows: N. T. Joyner, Assistant Business M a n a g e r ; G. D. Ayer, Advertising Manager; A. F. Ryland, J. Smith, Jr., and J. K. Davis, Associate Business Managers. V. M. I., 21; CAROLINA, 6. Saturday night the V. M. I. grap-plers won a decisive victory over the U n i v e r s i t y of North Carolina by the score of 21 to 6. Woodward start-ed things going by throwing Bowick in 2 minutes and 30 seconds with a half nelson and body bar. In thc 125 pound class Thompson of Carolina gained a distinctive advantage over Thompson of V. M. I. with a time decision of 7 minutes and 29 seconds. F e i l d and Stone in the 135 pound class proved a good match hut Feild's superior knowledge of mat-work netted him a f a l l in 4 minutes and 40 seconds with a half nelson and body bar. Preston and Abbott were pretty evenly matched and their bout South Carolina leading 3 to 2, Capt. F r o s t in a brilliant dibbling exhibi-tion went down the floor, and shot a p r e t t y ' s n o w bird to give V. M. I| a lead that was held until the end of the half. To begin the second period, thc Ca-dets tallied four points on as many foul shots before the Gamecocks got under way, but once started, led by Holcombe, they could not be halted. W i t h but a f e w minutes left to play, proved the best match of the eve-ning. Preston was in good form, be-ing aggressive during the entire match. An extra period was re-quired in which Preston gained' a 'Continued on Pas* E'-tMi CADETS TRIUMPH OVER N. C.

The Cadets displayed a superior brand of ball throughout the entire game, but it was their guarding that was the important factor in their victory. With every man on the team shooting at least one field goal dur-ing the f i r s t half, the F l y i n g Squad-ron held the upper hand when the in-termission came, leading 23 to 19. State was the f i r s t to score in the second period, when McDowell sank a f r e e throw, but this one point soon melted into nothing when the Cadets rung up nine points while State was being held scoreless. During this period, Capt. Frost and Fulkerson went to the bench via the foul route, and Scott and Gordon Walker substi-tuted f o r them. Young led the attack f o r Carolina State with a total of 12 points, while Fulkerson with 11 points was high point man for V. M. I.
