PRELIMINARIES TO THE VIR
GINIA AND TULANE DE
BATES HELD
Dr. Charts W. Eliot delivered an
address to a full and overflowing
house last night. He was intro
duced by Dr. Venable, who spoke
of him as one of Amerida's fore
most citizens, and of his great work
at Harvard.
We have no quarrel with Dr. Ven
able's characterization. Dr. Eliot
looks the big man. He made the
talk of a big man, choosing a big
subject. His talk caunot be given
justice here but this seems to us his
thought:
His subject, the educational forces
of America, their aims and duties.
The forces which should educate
are the Colleges state, and en
dowed industries, and political ac
tivity. He prophesied that the
State University would soon take
the lead in education through its
service to the State.
The duties of the Universities he
outlined as, serving all classes of
men by training them for profes
sions, addiug to knowledge by re
search, and giving students ethical
training. The duty of the indus
tries is to give ethical education. Dr.
Eliot pronounced the industries a
great field for college men to work
along ethical lines. The ballot
should be a continual educational
force.
Finally Dr. Eliot stated as
the aim of all institutions that of
perpetual good to all people. Yet
no hope is held for eventual, uni
versal equality, since the diversity
produced by liberty cannot be meas
ured. The highest duty of the in
stitution is to discover the fittest
men and to help them.
The preliminary for the Tulane
debate was held Monday afternoon.
Those debating our old friend the
query, concerning postal savings
banks, were S. V. Bo wen, H. E.
Stacy, and L. P. Mathews. Mat
thews and Stacy won places, giving
the Di two men to go against
Tulane.
The Virginia preliminary came
off Monday night. The same query
was debated, since we have a trian
gular debate with Virginia and Tu
lane. Those who entered the de
bate were, J. W. Umstead, J. T.
Johnston, John Vann, O. C. Cox,
J. D. Eason, and Spruill. Vann
and Umstead were chosen to repre
sent Carolina against Virginia.
AN EXHIBITION OF GOOD PITCH
ING. STEWART STRIKES OUT
14 MAYBERRY 6
The game last Saturday against
Oak Ridge was a good exhibition of
pitching. Stewart showed up to
better advantage. He walked few
er men, allowed half as many hits,
and struck out twice as many May
berry. Yet both pitchers were in
good form and pitched good ball.
There was little of the spectacu
lar about the game. It was not a
slow one, nor was it unusually fast.
Both teams played hard ball and
good ball. There were a few errors
on each side, these were due mainly
to hard luck.
If the game can be said to have
had a feature it was the way May
berry fielded his position. He field
ed balls when they were hot, he
fielded them slow. It is well nigh
impossible to hit one through him,
and he has a way of getting out of
the box and intercepting some that
look good for hits.
Of course Stewart's pitching was
good to look at, but there's nothing
strange about it. He pitches good
ball in every game he goes in. Qther
features are looked for because it
goes without siying that when
Stewart has pitched a game that
he has done his best. This best of
his is about as good as the next
man's. So nothing further is need
ed than to say that he pitched his
usual game.
And here is where we give Stev
ens credit with what seems to us
the thing that makes a team
Being told to bunt with a man on
third he laid: down a pretty one.
It wasn't 'Steve's' fault that the run
ner did not score. With a runner
on third in another inning he got a
pretty sacrifice. That is just the
thing that we want to feature, hard
work, and team work. In the tabu
lated score he looks poorly; to us
on the side-lines he looked good
Here's to the man who plays for
his team and not the grandstand.
Big "Steve", shake!
Lost, a Phi Beta Kappa key. A
Reward and no questions asked, if
returned the owner.
You should see the splendid line
of all wool goods gotten out by the
International Tailoring Co. before
you buy your spring clothes. Dick

ELON AND AMHERST GAMES
COME NEXT. EXIT OUR
OLD FRIEND BOHEA
The Interstate" Y.-M. C. A. Con
vention at Charlotte Friday, Satur
day, and Sunday last was a decided
success. Between two and three
hundred delegates were present.
Representatives of Student, City,
Industrial, Railroad, and Army As
sociations were present. Among
the speakers were Dr. Fisher,
Messrs. Robinson and Towsou of
New York City, members of the
International Committee of the Y.
M. C. A. Mr. J. K. Cooper, Sec
retary of the Washington Y. M.
C. A. also made a talk. One of
the most delightful features of that
convention was the complimentary
banquet given to the delegates by
the Ladies Auxilliary Society held
in the Gymnasium.
Last Monday there was a confer
ence of the employed secretaries oi
the Carolinas. There are at pres
ent thirty-five student associations
in North and South Carolina. The
reports show that the past year
had been very successful.
In the amateur basketball contest
Durham, Charlotte, Charleston,
and Spartanburg entered. The
triiRhjr, a silver cup,,,, was won by
Charlotte.
A game with Elon College has
been arranged for Saturday in place
of the Bingham game on Friday.
Two of the biggest games of the
season will be pulled off Monday
and Tuesday. Amherst will make
her first appearance on the local
diamond, and the 'Varsity will have
to play ball to win from her team.
The passing of "Bohea" Hall is
significant. In losing him the
town lost one of its citizens of
weight. But we all must pass
especially if we don't fill. "Bohea"
had little trouble in filling; he was
nearly always full. But he has
passed. Squire and "Jug" boosted
him and he could not stand for the
raise. Such is discretion!
And we all miss "Bohea", miss
his hair tonic, his old, black
sweater-vest, his dull razors, his
massage a la hog scraping; and his
affection for Winston-Salem men
and his old pacer. His place can
never more be filled. He is gone.
We are minded to express our
sorrow as is done in. the case of a
death, for truly "Bohea" is dead to
us:
'One precious to our hearts is gone,
A voice we loved is still;
And we are left with some skin on
Our faces, for so God willed.
But we will meet again, we guess,
In a place with water hot,
And "Bohea" will be waiting
there,
To take off the hide we've got."

THE NEW AND RETIRING OFFI
CERS GIVEN A RECEPTION BY
REV. LEROY GRESHAM
The installation of the new offi
cers of the Y. M. C. A. took place
at 7:30 a'clock Tuesday night in
the Auditorium of the Association
Building. Mr. F. P. Graham, the
retiring president presided and
spoke first in behalf of the Y. M,
C. A. Through the efforts of the
Association, he said, three forces,
the town, the faculty, and the
student bo4y have been brought
into a closer relation. The towns
people have lent their aid every time
opportunity was given; the faculty
have given their hearty co-operation
wbeneuer called upon; and the
students have given encouraging
support to any movement of the
organization. The retiring cabinet
has performed its duties faithfully
and well. In every effort and
attainment of the Association can be
traced signs of the efficient work of
the Secretary, Mr. E. E. Barnett.
Dr. F. P. Venable in a brief ad
dress, in behalf of the faculty, de
clared that this banding together of
students for the following of the
high life has beeu a great power for
the moulding of ideals in the Univer
sity. He pleaded for sincerity in
the work, and simple devotion with
out ostentation, faithfulness with
out cant. He commended the retir
ing officers and assured the new
ones of his hearty cooperation in
what should be the brightest year
iti the history of the Association.
Dr. LcRoy Gresham, represent
ting the churches of the town, spoke
especially to the incoming Cabinet.
Dr. C. Alphonso Smith, Chair
man of the Advisory Committee,
next spoke on "The New Ideals of
the Y. M. C. A",, defining it as
associated effort.
Mr. Hoke Ramsaur, the new
president of the Association made
the closing remark. In behalf of
the new Cabinet and officers he
acknowledged with deep apprecia
tion the responsibilities intrusted in
them and pledged their best effort
in the work.
Just before the dismissal of the
audience the new and retiring Cabi
net presented to Mr. Barnett a
handsome silver mounted set of
military brushes as a delightful
recognition of his service as Secreta
ry and a partial token of their es
teem for him. This was wholly
unexpected on the part of Mr. Bar
nett. His speech of acceptance was
briefjaud informal.
The new and retiring Cabinets of
the Young Meu's Christian Associa
tion were the honorees at a recep
tion given by Rev. and Mrs. LeRoy
Gresham after the installation meet
ing Friday evening. A large num
ber of guests were present to com
pliment the retiring Cabinent on
their successful administration and
