Quartet To Give ConcertOf "Cool" Type Of Jazz

By BILL CUNNINGHAM and BOB TALBERT

March the 10th— an important and historical occasionon the campus of Davidson College. On this date, Dave Bru-beck will bring his highly creative, impressionistic, andprogressive quartet to our hallowed and chapel-worn Cham-bers auditorium.

No doubt he will be met withcold and indifferent ears as wellas the warm and receptive ears,of those who understand his- feel-'ings and playing. Brubeck s touchat the piano is that of a concertpianist who can evoke the feel-ings of Bach. Beethoven. Chopin,and Scarlatti with the harmonicand rhythmatic expressions ofjazz— jazz that is progressive and

'

improvised.

Brubeck. a well-versed andischolarly musician, defines his jjazz as "an improvisedmusic basedIon European harmony and African|rhythms." The challenge is to im ]provise on a known theme (Blue

Moon. Cone with the Wind. On theAlamo, Laura. Take the "A" Train.etc. . . .), times without losing thedrive and rhythmic complexity ofearly jazz."

limbeck's concert will have nommmicks such as a tremendousand risque female vocalist, noscreaming horns, no growling andbraying bass voice, no excitingflick-fire, and last but not least,should have no illiterate shoutingof adolescent boors. ComparingBriibeck's cool music with that ofthe wild music we have heardin past concerts would be likecomparing a blissful day with aturbulent storm.

His background is that of manyyears of training under experi-enced and educated teachers. Davecomes from a musical family ofgreat talent. His mother was afamous piano instructor Howard,a brother, is a composer, instruc-lor and teacher; Henry, anotherbrother, is a musical educator. As

1 a youngster, Dave played with lo-|cal dance bands in the 'Frisco Bayiarea

By the time he was a senior atthe College of the Pacific. Stock-ton. California, Dave was well onhis way toward developing his ad-vanced harmonic conception and

'■ individual style. During Army"lays he studied composition underArnold Schocnberg. Upon dis-charge from the Army, hereturned

| to Oakland to continue his studiesIat Mills College with the renowned|Dariu> Milhaud. During this time|Dave organized his first group.

"The 8." later formed "The Daveliruheck Trio" and now he is tour-ing with his remarkable "DaveBrubeck Quartet."

Dave has in his present organisa-tion a group of extremely talentedjazz musicians. Paul Desmond(alto sax) who combines with Davon solos to create the improvisations of the group, along with BeRates (bass) and Joe Dodg(drum) who lay down the rhytmatic patterns, blend togethermake a truly sensational quarte

limbeck, like all musicians,temperamental and highly emtional. and should be received assuch. Applause after numbers ansolos is welcomed by the group,but the shouts of "Go. go, go," aremet with scorn and disdain. Thequartet has something to say toth>' appreciative audience and onlyby attentive listening will one beable to understand their talent.Besure to attend, listen, comprehend,and appreciate their progressiveami exciting repertoire.

Floods of femininity will engulfthe campus Saturday morning,March 9, as contestants from highschools of the Piedmont sectionof this state converge on David-son to compete in the annualNorth Carolina Instrumental Con-test. This competition will markthe fourth successive year thatDavidson has been chosen host tothis event.

College Library GelsMicro-Film Reader

Recently the Davidson CollegeLibrary purchased a new Koda-graph Film Reader. Located justinside the south entrance acrossfrom the telephone booth, thismicrofilmreader is designed to ac-commodateback issues of the NewYork Times.

The New York Times and otherlarge daily newspapers have beenphotographed on 35 mm film tofacilitate handling and storage.Using this reader, students caneasily and more effectively recorddata for talks, term papers andnotes.

Weighing less than 50 pounds,the reader is highly mobile andstands approximately three feet|high, consuming less than two feetsquare of desk space.

The projector of this machineis located at the top of the unitand is focused at an angle to pro-duce a clear, evenly distributedimage on the screen. Images aremagnified 19 times and isolatedcolumns of interest may be re-focused and magnified individual-ly on the entire screen. Thisscanning device gives the effect ofa much larger than 20 by 20 inchscreen.

Miss Shore, Librarian, reportedthat the library continues to re-ceive The Now York Times daily,andsimultaneously boxes of micro-film are stored in the reservebook section. The film dates fromJune 1. 1964. and is available tostudents and faculty members atall times. Duplicate files of theBook Review and Weekly Newsmagazines are bound as usual inthe basement.

This film recorder will greatlyimprove storage problems of theold style bound volumes in thebasement. Eventually it is thoughtthat the CharleM* Observer willalso publish their dailies in micro-film form.

Dr. Fleischer is a native of;Eisenach, Germany, the birthplaceof Bach. He traces his ancestry toMartin Luther, and much of Dr.Fleischer's early life was spent in j,a cultural atmosphere dominated:by these two great historical 'figures. I

forced him to leave Leipzig, whiclis located in the Eastern Zone oGermany He found asylum iiRavensburg. the historic old townin South Germany. There he

Although the number of Iraternities steadily grew, their pro-portionate slice of Davidson's ex-panding student body did not al-ways keep pace. In 1892 forty-twoper cent of the smallstudent bodywere members, and fifteen mencomposed a large fraternity. By1920 only twenty-five per cent be-longed. Following the depressionthe percentage curved steadily up-ward, leveling off after World War11 at the present eighty per centplus Greek membership.

EXPANSIONThe expanding fraternity ijrs-

tern soon outgrew Old Chambers,and moved to Oak and Elm Rowand the first floors of the literarybalk in 1917. Nine years laterthey moved out into town, buyingor renting residence space fortheir members. This was not asatisfactory arrangement from sev-eral points of view, particularlythe college's, so the present Fra-ternity Court was built in 1928.and stands today as one of thebest solutions to the fraternityhousing problem any small col-ilege has worked out.

The latest major crisis in the 1

social fraternity sphere came withIthe problem presented in 1982when the College Union was com-!pleted. Its operation had to befinanced in some way, and thecollege's first proposal that the

expressing the human predicamentAs humans we know and desiregoals that are higher than we canever produce.Therefore take yourease. Just reduce your goals andbe realistic. That will ease youranxiety, and will keep you frombeing neurotic.

Wise words those. And yethaven't the most creative leadersof the human race been those thatdid long after this perfection, thisescape from the human predicu-ment of frustration? Some peopleclaim that one person actually didlive a life of fulfillment. Thaione really did actualize the highestpossible goal in down to earthflesh and blood.

WORDS INTO DUDSThey claim that the Word— the

logos or expression of God him-self

— actually became man inanswer to the fruitless quest ofman trying to live out the wordin his own strength. Not only thatthis one broke down the dividingwall between ideal (word) and fact(deed), but that he is now break-ing down that wall in specificinstances through his men hereon earth.

Can then Christians be perfectpeople? Again a sharp no. Butwhen these people condition theirgoals and idealsby this Word madeflesh, it moves them on in thepath of the realizationof true hu-manity. They can feel rested, andyet vearn after perfection with acreative fervor. Maybe this iswhat ". . reconciling the worldunto Himself means."

Four years gone, and in retro-spect, there is the stark fact ofideals unrealized, of goals notreached, of possibilities notactualized. Who of us hasn't feltthis frustration, whether lookingover long periods of living, or re-thinking a single day It seemsthat we are always haunted withthe imperfection of our living;with the rudeness of the gap be-tween word and deed.

SOUND FAMILIARCertain ideals of good

scholarship come to most of us atleast fleetingly during our staylure— a well disciplined studyhabit, a mastery of material, thecompetent handling of significantideas

—; all this ending so often

in the cry "I should have donebelter, but . . ."

Or again a Y cabinet with highgoals of service and devotionrealizesabruptly that a lot of talkhas produced just more talk. Ora student council which has someconcept of the idealbases on whichto found u student community pro-ducing mature individuals nevertheless is willing to take secondbest because these ideals have beenbroken time and again in the pastby actual student living.

Or note the feeling of decayingincompleteness as persons realizethat again and again they havebroken their highest personalgoals, have resolved to do better,ij«t have foundered again; failureto win in competition, failure tolive as we ought, etc. . .

Once upon a time there was alittle boy. When he grew oldenough in years, this little boy—we'll call him David

—went to col-

lege. Now, when he got to col-lege, he was wise enough to seewhat direction his course shouldtake.He knewclearly that in orderto win friends and influence peo-ple he would have to amass acertain amount of knowledge.Along with this, of course, he sawthat he would have to shed manyof his former Christian inhibitionsand free himself from theNietzsche

—termed slave morality.

Many of the things taught himdealt with this matter of how togasjijfBjffjffjfissj Set ahead. HisIstudy of eco-

Inomics showedIthat, after allIL|aa>gjs] Iwas said andIdone, a man didIhave to look outIfor himself; his-Itory was pre-Isented,not fromIa Ch ristian

Schen perspective,butas a conglom-

erationof people,datesand events;math and science taught him whata wonderful series of cause-effect,inter-related events had occurredand would occur in the material-istic age to which science held allthe answers; ROTC gave himample opportunity to assert him-self and relieve his wonderingsabout basic security.

All along, he was surely thank-ful that he was being taught inall his courses from an open-minded perspective, and not fromany particular point of view (thiswas a Christian college). Religioncourses? Well, of course he badthem; but they were just othercourses and, in spite uf them, hegot along well.

And through the years he saw

BILL SCHOLL

MIND AND SOUL?how great a truth the intelligentsiahad— not by saying that the mindwas God-given and should be usedto direct the whole body, but bysaying that really the mind wasall you needed, that a smart mancould do anything. His confidencein himself kept growing. If onlyhe could always have self-controlby his mind! if only he were al-ways man enough to keep out ofthe slave morality, to keep fromdeveloping deep feelings alongwith deep thought. Sissies criedwhen they saw children growingup without knowing what "tree"means, or Negroes being mis-treated, or general exploitationofpeople— he just thankedhis luckystar that he was smarter than allthat. Why take the world's crosswhen you can have your ownCadillac? Passions, feelings—

thesewere to becrushed and kept undercontrol to the point of annihilation by the mind; in the Spring,you think of new ways of harness-ing water power to force anotherman out of business; you don'tstop, reflect, and thank God forwater.

So this fellow— this David-graduated. He had the ability touse the skills which he hadlearned; more important, he couldmanipulate people much moreeasily now. He was well on theway to being a success. Of coursesome of his classmates had dif-ferent ideas, but by and largemost of them were smart enoughto see with him that, after all,Protagoras had it when be said."Man is the measure of all things."And, of course,you had tomeasurethings in terms that don't let yougo overboard for anything butcreate emotional sterility by inintellectual rigor, terms of self-in-terested power.

What Others Are Saying. ._ .Atxjut Humanities, Segregation, and Intellectuals

The ImaginativeGrasp

Nathan M Pusey. president ofHarvard, is disturbed ut the de-cline i>i the Humanities in Ameri-can universities. In 25 years, thenumber of students in Harvardhas risen by more than a thou-sand. But Humanities studentshave dropped 300 in number.

That statistic is repeated, moreor less, at most universities, thisone included. And why is thatbad? Let President Pusey answer:

A college in which the studiestraditionally called the Humanitiesare weak runs the risk of beingless liberal than it should; for ourfull humanity is best quickenedand developed through imaginafive grasp of the subtler experi-ences of individuals as revealedthrough arts and letters.

The chief aim of undergraduateeducation is to discover what itmeans to be a man. A collegeor university will be strong, there-fore, only where those studiesflourish whose principal value isto arouse such awareness andwhere they are taught with charmand vigor, and win respect.

—Daily Tar Heel.

EmilygrationThe Haverford College sociol-

ogist. Dr. Ira Reid, speaking onthe problems of implementing theSupreme Court Decision on segre-gation, struck a vibrant andtroublesome string when he spoke<if "patterned evasions."

"Patterned evasions" are notlimited to proposals to abolish thepublic school systems, to attemptsto fight integration by elaboratepaper work

—all the typical by-

ways being invented in quartersopenly hostile to the decision.

There is another, deeper anddeadlier "patterned evasion." AndDr. Reid touched briefly on thatevasion when he mentioned thosewho make thetr tolerance of

minority rights a matter of eti-quette or "democracy." For them,us the sociologist said, racial jus-tice becomes a matter of shakinghands gracefully; or of sitting be-side a member of a minority racein a classroom because Emily Postwould perhaps approve.

From Dr. Reid's remarks, wecan gain this: Compliance withmoral obligations may become asfalse, as perfunctory, as doctrinaireas defiance.

The picture of racial justice welay before the peoples outside ourown boundaries will stand onweak legs if our actions are butdoughfaces for attitudes which re-main unchanged.

Prejudice, diluted and concealedby a thousand pages of Emily Post,covered by procedures followedonly because they are "noble" or I'democratic," is still prejudice. i—

O.ily Tar Heel.

With AssociationIt May BeContagious

"Intellectual— a kind of poison (which with association maybe con- >

tagious." Could the last part of ithis definition be a saving grace? \

Mr. Webster says that intellect jis "the power or faculty of know- (ing as distinguished from the jpower to feel and to will; esp., thepower of reasoning, judging, com-prehending, understanding" andthat an intellectual is one "en-dowed with intellect." Prom thisit may be said that each of us isan intellectual.

Perhaps intellectuals are more 1like plain students than plain Hoi- Ilins students think. And if they Iare complicated ones, different, is ithat really bad? The irony of the twhole thing is that we are all in- itellectuals about something. If pyou are one about basketball *strategy, why look with resentful rdistrust at somone who is about «quartets or French Renaissance t

literature?Continuing in this line we each

then have something to give ...with association it may be con-tagious. A poet writes poetry inorder to understand his own life,and because he is human givesinsight to all human life. Theartist performs a means of releaseto the viewer for pent up thoughtsand emotions, and the writer is atranslatorof the thoughts andideasof bis time, a sensitive interpreterof moods, one who creates the en-joyable, delightful, and sometimesthe shocking. Each of us has abit of the artist, the poet, andthe writer in her makeup. Eachis an interpreter and recomposer.

Just the phrase "college atmos-phere" implies contact with peo-ple inquiring and interesting-beneficial contacts which serve asstimuli. It implies a collection ofpeoplewhoareconstantly question-ing, trying tofind theanswers. Buta studentat Hollins when she has aquestion or when she thinks she'sfound an answer is afraid to voiceit.

The Qeorgia QrbupIn the current issue of The Christian

Century there appears an editorial con-cerning the reports of the annual meetingof theevangelism and social service boardof the United Church of Canada. The edi-torial cites with praise the unusual em-phasis in the reports on the active mean-ing of evangelism in the life of the Chris-

Among the statements in the reportsThe Century found one whifh said that"unless believers in Christ and membersof his body, the church, mean business,lead a new life, enter the strait way, wit-ness boldly and know the indwelling loveand joy of the Savior, any formal record-ing of conversions will add to our com-placency and be more of a danger than a

In a sense this statement has beenborne out in the recent surging of in-terest in voluntary prayer groups on cam-pus, centering in the worship service heldeach Wednesday night on the third floori»l Georgia. Many of us have been unableto understand the overwhelming interestin this informal and voluntary group ledby one senior psychology major. Davidsonfor so long has been called a religion-in-fested campus, and for so long the stu-dents have been so apathetic to religionand so opposed to the very mention of aworship service, that many have foundthis new interest not short of amazing.

No one can have the answer to theupsurge in the prayer group. Many stu-dents have shrugged their shoulders andsaid simply that "God moves in a myste-rious way." Some have been a little cyni-cal, and some hopeful that the new in-terest would mean a new meaningof faithon the part of most students.

We feel that Harry Petersen's en-deavor has come as an answer to prayerin fulfilling a basic need on the part ofstudents here.

Too often in college we are temptedto overdo the intellectual search for Godto an extent where faith is stifled inreason. We hear of the "search for mean-ing" and the "search for truth" and all theother searches in which the college stu-dent is especially involved. And often wedo not realize that our search must havean ending, that God is beyond our reach,and that there is a point at which ourpowers become nothing and we must leanupon the truth of a God who has saidthat in faith alone can come the meaning

The writer to the Hebrews recordedthat "faith is the substance of thingshoped for, the evidence of things notseen." It is when we come to realize thatfaith is not knowledge, for it must reachbeyond knowledge, that we see the worthof the evangelism of Georgia as a neededaddition to the reasoned deliveries ofchapel services,vespers and the UCM. Wego from a man-centered theology to onewhich is God-centered,and in so doing wehave the experience of a man comingupon an oasis in the desert.

It isas Kierkegaardsaid. We reach the"endof the rope"of reason, lean upon theReality of God, and become "like the birdwhich alights on a frail twig of a tree,which may break at any moment beneathits weight,and yetsingsits care-free song,knowing that it has wings tobear it up;so the man who believes inChrist, thoughexistingin the midst of uncertainty, is nottoned in despair, for he knows that thewings of faith will bear himup when allelse breaks away beneath him" PerhapsKierkegaard spoke to Davidson as wellas to the world in saying "Faith beginswhere thought leaves off."

Hoiv Liberal Are OurLiberal Arts?

The recent action of the Bell Tele-phone Company of Pennsylvania in send-ing some of its executives back to col-lege to get a liberal education focusesattention on the liberal arts, and in par-ticular, the liberal arts at Davidson.

Our college catalog states: "Insistingon the training of the mind as the firsttask of an educational institution,it (Da-vidson College) seeks to impart to its stu-dents a knowledge of the forces whichhave determined the pattern of ourcivilization, thereby fostering the under-standing which gives meaning and pur-pose to the present?"

How well are we measuring up to thatstatement? Admittedly, Davidson is farahead of many institutions with its re-quirements for History, Bible, English,Mathematics, Science, and ForeignLanguage. But it may well be doubtedthat the institution is really giving aliberal education to its students.

Among other books Bell executivesread the Autobiography of Cellini, theIliad, the Bhagavad-Gita, Brintons Ideasand Man, and plays by Sophocles. Thesebooks are on practically every recom-mended reading list issued by liberalarts colleges, yet few of them ever feelthe touch of a Davidson student's hand.A student may never read a great Rus-sian novel if he is not enrolled in ad-vanced Literature course, and unless heis an Economics major he may never hearthe name of Thomas Mun mentioned.

One way tobreak through the walls ofour self-contained departments of studywould be to inaugurate a required coursein the Humanities or ContemporaryCivilization such as the program at Co-lumbia College and other institutions.Such a course would give the student amuch broader view of his culturalheritage and introduce him very early inhis college career to men and ideas whichwill be important throughout his courseof study. By cutting across departmentallines, it could show the relationships be-tween History, Economics, Government,and Philosophy, departments which aregreatly affected by each other.

The program could supersede thepresent required History course andmight be extended into a second year toinclude studies in American civilizationand institutions. There would, no doubt,be many difficulties in implementing theprogram, but the advantages to be de-rived from it would more than compensatefor the difficulties— M.A.C.

The PaperbacksThe inexpensive, well-bound and

printed Modern Library books that haveministered for so long to the needs ofliterate but penny-shy college students,are now coming available in less expen-sive paperback editions.

It's a new paperback series for Mod-ern Library (though titlesare old)and thefirst ten releases are big guns aimed atall the competition in the field. Amongthe new releases (which stands exactly7% inches tall and 4 and seven-sixteenthsinches wide and cost 95 cents) are Crimeand Punishment, The Divine Comedy, TheRepublic, Gulliver's Travels and compara-ble giants.

We stoppedby the Intimate Bookshopthe other day and listened to Paul Smithtick off the list of paperback publisherswith whom the new Modem Library bookswill have to deal.

The English started it all," he said."The Penguin series is the oldest of thepaperbacks we carry. Simon and Schusterprobably rates as the father of the Ameri-can paperback business. Oh, there areothers

—Rhinehart has a series and

Double-day (Anchor). Knopf (Vintage).Meridian, Evergreen, Viking and*Dover."

What this means to book buyers isthat almost every great work of litera-ture is available in the best translationsfor less than a dollar. Paperback titlesnumbering in the hundreds range fromHomer to Faulkner and include Dumasand Darwin and Randall Jarrell.

The paperbacks seem to make every-body happy. The one dollar UnpopularEssays of Bertrand Russell have sold 26ftcopiesina year and a half at the Intimate—a record not approached of course, byany hard cover in the house.

The rest of the stock likewise goatlike hotcakes. The age of the paperbacksis onus full steam; college students neverhad it so good— Daily Tar HmL

The Human Predicament

Even Though Regrcttoblt:

Higher Tuition Necessary ToMaintain College Philosophy

"yMALCOLM WILLIAMSONWhen the spring comes to David-

son, it is more difficult than ordi-narily to escape the infection ofGraggism — either galloping orsedentary. When the warm sunaaaBHBHBjMe| tends to put a

halt to intensiveIacademic work.Iit is rather easyIto think of theIpleasant aspectsIof DavidsonIrather than ofIthe seamy side.IThis particular

Williamson corded tne an.nouncement that in the future thetuition will be higher than in pastyears. This is indeed a regrettablechange and many of the gripeswhich some students have prof-fered are well founded. Althoughregrettable, this increase in thetuition reflects proper thinking inthe face of a tough situation. It isundoubtedly the only realistic ap-proach. The administration isfaced with the constant problemof meeting expenses, and it is ob-viously their decision that thisincrease must be made or serviceswould have to be curtailed.

NOT AN ECONOMYSCHOOL

Davidson is not an economyschool. And it would be a mistaketo try to make it one. The aim ofthe college seems to this seniorto be something more than thatwhich a city college wouldattempt.We are not here to earn collegecredits

—not even to get adiploma.

The program o( the institution

seems to be to provide a four-year experience in intellectual,social, and spiritual associationsthat will pay rich dividends forthe rest of life. This sort of pro-gram requires more than the mini-mum expense,and its scope shouldnot be narrowed even as an econ-omy move.

In order to provide somethingmore than routine classroom in-struction, the faculty must con-tinue to consist of men with morethan the ordinary amounts of per-sonality and character as well asacademic competency. Althoughthe college may have an advan-tage in attracting such men be-cause of its tradition and numer-ous contacts, it cannot afford tooffer salaries that do not comparefavorably with those inhigh quali-ty schools.

SPORTSThis policy of developing the

man who is prepared to live pleas-antly and productively instead ofthe man who is simply trained tospit out historical dates or chemi-cal formulae involves much morethan the class room. It involvesathletics. While attempting toavoid the difficult problem of howto finance the major sports, Da-vidson now needs more tenniscourts and a playable golf course.These are sports which we mightdevelop to such an extent thatthey could achieve for the schoolthe reputation which we havemissed in the three major sports.This improvement, as will the rest,requires money and it is necessaryil the full program of the college

is to develop.CULTURE

The development of cultural en-joyment U very essential to theprogram of Davidson. The DublinPlayers seem to be both well re-ceived and quite enjoyable. TheArtist Series needs to provide uswith more really first quality at-tractions. Such a program wouldbe anything but an economy move.

In the above paragraphs, a briefattempt is made to show a few ofthe reasons why Davidson shouldand must spend more per studentthan many other colleges. It is ex-pensive to maintain a positionamong the best.It may be that byoffering the extras of educationand charging what is necessary topay for them, some people will feelthat Davidson has broken from itsheritage as a church-supportedschool operated for the enlightment of Presbyterian children.

Because of the higher cost, itcannot be doubted that many goodprospects are forced not to attendDavidson. But the philosophy ofthe college has always been topro-vide the superior training that isneveravailable to all, and this aimshould be maintained regardlessof the inevitable cost. Consider-ing this fact, a serious obligationfalls upon each student— to makethe most of this opportunity to im-prove and to broaden himself. Achallenge is provided every dedi-cated faculty member

—to offer

something of himself as well -ussomething from a text.

JERRY SPEAKS:

Babbling BrooksThis weekIwould like todo something a little bit different.

Iwould like to devote this column to one man. This athleteis a short-haired Yankee, who has fondly been called "themachine," by close friends, he is more widely known as Pete.

Peter Richard Ashcraft is asophomore from Amherst. Mass.,who has come to Davidson as ablessing to Coach Whittle's needfor an outstanding distance man.

The list of Pete's victories andaccomplishments is practicallyendless. Last year he set a newfreshman cake race record whichmay stand for years to come. Heearned two trophies and a medalfrom this past cross-country sea-son and was named on the All-Southern Conference cross-countryteam.

However, no matter how finethese accomplishments are, great-er things were yet to come. Twoweeks ago, when everyone in townwas tearing loose during the Mid-winters festivities, a small expedi-tion of track men ventured to theSouthern Conference Indoor TrackMeet at Lexington, Va. With onlyseven men, Davidson attained athird place position and a teamtotal of twenty points .. . ten ofwhich Pete won.

Pete won the mile run in slowtime and thought that he mightlike to audit the two-mUe runjust to see how wellhe could do.If things weren't going too well,he was to drop out and save him-self for the mile relay. At onetime midway in the race CoachWhittle was ready to pull him out,but Pete was possessed with theidea of winning. He maintainedhissteady pace whUe most of thepacers dropped out. Finally, withtwo laps to go, Pete went out infront and stayed there. A remark-able evening, but even more re-markable whenone stops to realizethat Petehad not run that distancesince cross-country season and wasevidently not considered to be incondition for a two-mile run.

Now we come to the final case(Cantlwuasi On Pa*» Pour)

Davidson GrapplersAt Lexington ForConference Meet

Coach Charlie Parker's wrestlingteam is in Lexington, Virginia, thisweekend for the annual SouthernConference Wrestling Meet, andWildcat Captain Johnny Buxtonwill be the major Davidson threatto bring back one of the cham-pions' trophies. Buxton placedthird in last year's meet, and thisyear finds the chances very goodthat he will finish in the top spot.

The meet opened with firstround matches being held today,and the finals will be held tomor-row night. The meet will be singleelimination style with two unde-feated mattersmeeting in the finalround of each weight division.

Practice sessions for the Varsityhave eased up just a bit in thelast few days as the Cats havebeen tapering off in preparationfor the scrap tomorrow. The David-son club has worked into topshape,and the effortsof the coach-ing staff will probably be well-rewarded.

The "Oldtimers" are scheduledto hold their last practice tonight,after having had several here andin Charlotte. The alumni squadroster is filled with ex-Cat stars,some of whom wUl be donning thepads for the first time in aboutfive years. Many are still in ex-cellent shape, and the collegiansmay have a battle on their hands.Dick O'Hair and Bill Iverson, twotop-flight ends, will probably startand will do a lot of grabbing forthe tosses of Auburn Lambethand Cliff Turner.

Though the majority of the "Old-timers" are from the 1946-49 era,

LADY LUCK SCOWLS AGAINLady Luck turned up again in Davidson's basketball for-

tunes this week,and as it has been this season. Dame Fortunegave nothing to the Wildcats except bad news. This time, thepeculiarities of conference play pitted the Cats against thecountry's No. 13 team. George Washington, and the Colonialsthrashed the Davidson club in the opening round of the con-ference tournamentin Richmond.

This year's edition of the Wildcats has seen little of thegood luck side. With a tremendous lack of height to startwith, the first slash came when Gaylord Walker, big sophcenter, left school at the semester due to scholastic trouble.Improvement of frosh players like Mike Martin and LewSpears was seen as the answer to the problem, and these twohustlers got in their share of the rebounds. This reservestrength helped the club, and things temporarily looked bet-ter, but then Lady Luck turned thumbs down again. Martinand Spears were both injured, with Martin out for the season.

The biggest stabof all came three weeksago when HobbyCobb broke one of his fingers in practice. The incident oc-curred on the day before the Cats traveled to Greenville tomeet Furman, and Cobb played the game with the fingerevidently bothering his shooting accuracy. The next morning,the doctor informed him that what he thought was a jammedfinger was a broken one. Orders were to stay off the courtfor the rest of the season. So the Cats played their last threegames minus their leading scorer, and managed to win onlyone. At 5-11,Dave Shaw became the country's shortest center,and with one exception, the Cats had no one over 6-4 in theline-up.

That brings us up to date, and the game at Richmond lastnight completed Lady Luck's medicine for Davidson. The74-36 massacre put the Cats out of the tourney and ended amediocre season.

There were some nice points about the season, too. TheCats slaughtered Guilford in a pair of contests, gaining re-venge for an opening night loss last year. The first threeSouthern Conference games provided either wins or excitinggames, wilh the last minute loss to V.P.I,being judgedas thetoughest decision the Cats took all year. With Cobb out ofthe line-up, it took an all-out effort to beat Catawba's Indians,

and fans witnessed an exciting over-time contest which sawRay Harding and Ish Bennet burn the nets up in the finalfive minutes.

Now the eternal cry of "Wait Until Next Year" startsagain, and if a good crop of freshmen players turn up nextyear, with a little height to go with the fine crew of smallplayers already here, Davidson will be getting revenge on aa lot of teams.

ENSIGN WINS FINAL CONTESTTh« DavMsonian't first season of "Pickin" the Winners"
