NUMBER 15 ashington and lee Invades Cavalier Camp Today Denny Given Greatest Welcome W ln History of Washington, Lee One Thousand Throng Station To Greet President-Elect By George F. Ashworth “When Washington and Lee men fall in line—. '3! What a line it was! Sweeping up the hill from the sta- tion—a double line of cheering students! Ten feet apart torches blazed, sending orange-lit whirls of smoke up from their blazing heads, and casting a carnival over the estatic crowd ! Down at the station a dense mob of students, faculty members, and townspeople surged around the platform. Groups pushing their way nearer the tracks caused little agitated currents in the heaving body of theicrowd. People shouted to one another, laughter burst periodically, a group of students started singing “The Sidewalks of New York” —-everyone craned their necks to see up the track and catch the first glimpse of the train bearing the guest of honor. The Old Coach An old coach, a relic of days gone by, gaily decorated in blue and white, was waiting to trans- port the distinguished visitor. The train was late, but when the red lights at last came into sight as the train backed into the station, Lexington rocked with “Fight, Fight, Blue and White!” As Dr. Denny alighted from his car the “Swing” broke forth from a thousand eager throats, led by the University sixty piece band. Mrs. Denny was taken quickly to an automobile but the Alabama president was escorted to the old coach. The first to greet Dr. Den- ny were Dr. H. D. Campbell, Dean of the University and Dr. J. L. Howe, Dean of the School of Ap- plied Science. When Dr. Denny was safely inside the coach, fifty freshmen grabbed the rope and started off up the hill dragging the old vehicle after them. Band Leads Way The band led the way and the , crowd followed cheering wildly. As the torch bearers were passed they fell ‘in behind and swept up the hill behind the coach like burning embers blown before a wind. On over the crest of the hill went the procession ’till the coach had reached the post office square. The crowd poured over the Post Office lawn, climbed onto the walls, and stretched up all four streets. The coach was halted in the center of the intersection and John Bell Towill made a brief an- nouncement: “Dr. Denny asks me to tell you how much he appreciates all of _, this, and to say to you that while he cannot speak to you this eve- ning he will talk to us tomorrow night at the football rally for the game with Virginia on Satur- day.” “College Friendship” The band struck up “College Friendshipfl’ and the crowd sang the words. Then the circle of torches about the coach parted, the crowd made a lane, and the man—pulled carriage continued on its \i.';iy amid cheers. It stopped again at the home of President Smith and cheers were given for the present head of Washington and Lee in the same spirit they had been given for the elected head. The crowd at the corner broke up—the torches were cast in a pile, forming a bonfire. The men went away leaving the fire burn- ing and also leaving burning in their minds the memory of an inspiring reception to a great man —Dr. George H. Denny, elected President of Washington and Lee. j__0______ Law Clubs Will , Startx Next Week The Law Clubs will begin their _ program for the year next week when the first argument will be held. No definite date has been set for the occasion. These clubs, six in number, hold ‘ meetings every two weeks thru- out the year in which the mem- bers present the arguments as- signed them. The confusion on the campus in the past few weeks, due to the many rallys, meetings etc., is the \ ix reason given for the late start. Denny Here To Make Decision On W&L Offer, Doctor Denny Tells Gather- ing That He Will An- nounce Plans Soon Dr. George H. Denny will de- cide “within the next few days” whether he will accept the presi- dency of Washington and Lee University. Dr. Denny, here for a short visit, met with.the exe- cutive committee of the board of trustees of the University yester- day afternoon. “Circumstances have prevented serious consideration of the mat- ter for the last two weeks.” Dr. Denny said, “but now I am giving the subject my whole attention. I am returning to my home soon, and I shall reach a decision with- in a few days. I must decide soon.” Yesterday was a full day for the University of Alabama pres- ident. In the morning he addres- sed the student assembly in the historic Lee chapel; in the after- noon he met with the trustees; and at night he spoke at the foot- ‘ball rally for the traditional game with the Cavaliers of the Univer- sity of Virginia at Charlottesville. Speaking of his appointment, Dr Denny said yesterday morn- ing: “Frankly I doubt whether I have the youth and vigor to take up a great new task like this. I would hate to stage an anticlimax; I would hate to take the leader- ship in a great army of boys who iovc-this school, and see it fail to progress.” The wor(ls of the speaker were ,-‘sincere, but his physical appear- ance belied them. Grayer, of course, than twenty years ago, “Bill” Luke, dependable tackle, will lead the Virginians today in their defense of Washington and Lee’s invasion. A huge man and a hard fighter, Luke had made quite a name. Happy Warrior Gets Daily Cheer At Frat House From the dining room of a cer- tain fraternity house comes the strident tones of a speaker; “and if Al Smith is elected, the United States will have the greatest ad- ministration since Woodrow Wil- son.” Everyone in the room stands up, and led by the speaker, they sing with all the vigor of enthusiasts, “The Sidewalks of New York.” Pleased with their results, they sing it again, each one trying to out-yell.the next. Then they sit down and finish the meal. So does one fraternity on the campus support the governor of l\ew York. Every man in the house is an ardent backer of the Democracy’s candidate.

One thousand clamorous voices thundered into a single salvo of bellowing cheers in the rally to give the team its sendoff at Dore- mus gymnasium Thursday night.

F or Dramatic Section of Play Collison, Bauer, Gill and Gra- ham Make Fihal Casting “Officer 666,” fall Troubadour play, will be presented for the first time on December 1, 1928, at the New Theatre, stated Al Col- lison, president today. The Troubadour dramatic sec- tion under the direction of Colli- son has just completed picking the cast for the comedy. The se- lections were made with the con- sideration of stage personality, voice and appearance, wholly upon an unbiased and comparative ba- sis.

Teams’ ’Schedules Played Today By Henry MacKenzie -. Today is the day. Two thirty is the time. Lambeth field in Charlottesville is the place. The “Fighting Generals” the Cavaliers of the University of Virginia are meeting in the annual football classic between the two schools. Before the late afternoon shadows of the stadium have crept over the playing field either the White and Blue of the Generals or the Orange and Blue of the Cavaliers will be raised high in victory and the cohorts of the winning team indulging in a wild celebration over the defeat of their most deadly rival. Comparative scores, previous records, and sports writ- ers’ predictions mean nothing when Washington and Lee meets Virginia. It will be a fight to the finish bewteen two battling teams while a crowd of 15,000 including the stu- dent bodies of both universities look on. of Washington and Lee and Dr. Denny Is Mascot Led by their 55 year old mas- cot, Dr. Denny, who has never seen the Generals go down in de- feat before the Cavaliers, the student body of Washington and Lee will be in the stands practi- cally to the man to urge the Gen- erals to victory. Both teams will enter the game somewhat handicapped by injuries received in previous games. Flip- pin of Virginia and Williams of Washington and Lee, perhaps the most outstanding pair of wing- men in the state will watch their team mates battle from the side- lines. Taylor, husky, Cavalier center, is suffering from various injuries and may not get a chance to enter the fray. Lefty Close and Faulconer, two regular Vir- ginia backs are still nursing bruises received in the Cavaliers’ gallant stand against Princeton. Washington and Lee has its share of ailments. Barnett has water on the knee, but will be ready if he is needed. Lott saw no service against Tennessee be- cause of bruises received in West Virginia, but he will start against Captain Fitzpat- rick has a sore foot, but it will take more than a sore foot to keep him from getting his-long- awaited shot at the Virginia ball carriers. Last Minute Change There may be a last minute change in the Washington and Lee backfield. Coach Herron has been trying various combinations in an effort to discover which set will be the fastest and which is the better master of the passing game. At one time during prac- tice yesterday afternoon he was using Lott and Eberhart at halves and at another was trying Bar- nett at quarter. However, it is not likely that li: will shift his men on such short notice and very probably the old combination of Faulkner at quarter, Lott and Thibodeau at lialwes, and White at fuli will begin the gaine, In the weight columii, the two teams are nearly equal. The Vir- glnla line averages about 184 ]X-‘U.11(l:3 from end to end, and that 01 Washington and Lee is about three pcunds less.

DENNY COMES HOME Dr. George H. Denny came back to Lex- ington Wednesday night. Just as When he left, seventeen years ago, students drew the carriage in which he rode. Eager hands fought for an honored position at the shafts of the historic old coach. It was a tremen- dous ovatioii to the man so many W ashing- ton and Lee students have loved. When Dr. Denny was offered the presi- dency of Washington and Lee recently three thousands Alabama -Students staged a de- monstration where they implored him not to leave them. Had there been thirty thou- sand in Tuscaloosa they could not have shown more feeling than the nine hundred that met the train Wednesday night. Dr. Denny has come back to Virginia to decide whether he will accept -the presidency here. Certainly some conception of how students here feel about him was conveyed at his reception. The singing of Washington and Lee’s old songs, the Generals’ yell, the band play»- ing the “Swing,” shouting students, these might be factors that will carry weight in his decision. When the time comes for beloved Dr. -Smith to retire the whole student body hopes that “Mike” Denny will be the man who takes his place. __0_____ CONGRATULATIONS Students have fallen victims of much criticism from time to time for creating excess noises and playing objectionable pranks. Many of these severe charges have been false, but have been caused indirectly through the once famous “town and gown fights” of decades ago. Blame has been laid on students because they are supposedly in a college town for such a short time that they do not consider the inconviences that “town” might suffer. Washington and Lee students have fallen under such criticism for pranks and noises made just as any other college student body would. Wednesday night was Halloween. Pranks and noises in excess to normal times were prominent. blame will be cast upon the students, such is natural. Possibly in the past students have taken part in the merriment on Hal- lowe’en; some of the blame has been justi- fied. But Wednesday night students were absent from the objectionable “fun.” City authorities Thursday morning were very complimentary of student conduct. Pranks were played, some decidedly ob- noxious and dangerous, but it was indeed gratifying when we were assured that in all the complaints made not a single stu- dent was involved. Instead of being invol- ved in any mischief, police say that stu- dents are being praised by city authorities and townspeople for their absence form par- ticipation. I We are further assured now that many of the former alleged student participation in mischief was not student activity after all, but the behavior of even younger youths.- j_()______ JOURNALISM, ELECTION For the first time in the history of Washington and Lee University election re- turns will be announced to the public by a department of the institution. The Lee School of Journalism will render this ser- vice as soon after the close of the polls as possible. Two leased wires will bring the results to the university gymnasium. The an- nouncements will be made on the same plan as that used by large newspaper services. No doubt some share of the. As each return comes in, it will be calculat- ed, placed on a stereopticon slide, and pro- iected to the audience. Diversified enter- / tainment will also take up ‘a part of the evenng. _ Faculty, students, and townspeople will be interested in this accomodation which that the journalism students of the reorganized first school of journalism in the world can perform their work in an adult manner. This undertaking on the part of the School of Journalism marks a distinct ser- vice to the University. It is a means of re- warding the faithfulness of General Robert E. Lee, the white-haired old gentleman who first conceived the idea of collegiate instru- ction in journalism. Accurate information for the people by means of an institution to train young people in an intellectual and in a technical way for journalistic careers was his plan. He was alone in his far-sighted ideas regarding the press. A lapse of a half century, however, has modernized Lee. Tuesday night another step will be taken toward the goal set by him. Probably no Victory of the Civil war, no honor conferred upon him in his eventful life furnished this great warrior more plea- sure than would the knowledge, of this scheme of “accurate information” as plan- ned by the students of his school. ______0_____ “EDUCATION DID IT” All of America’s so-called “thrill” mur- BY the WATT M The Column is dedicated this week to the ut- ter destruction of Virginia—on the football field.

Please, dear God, don’t let a man who hasn’t a mark derers appear to pass through the same stages. As soon as they are apprehended they throw up a defense by claiming the “thrill” made them commit the crime, and later after they have been proved guilty claim education was the cause. This procedure took place in our most recent murders of this description and promises to again appear with George Hash and Richard Gray Gallogly, two Oglethorpe students, as defendants. Harsh and Gallogly have been indicted for the murder of two Atlanta clerks. The former has confessed to his crime and has blazenly thrown forth that magic word “thrill”. Behind it he expects to explain the motive for the murder, through it he ex- pects to be relieved of the sin and sorrow connected with his crime. His predecessors, Richard Loeb, Nathan Leopold and Edward Hickman, all expected the same supernat-1 ural influence from the word, but the twelve men who sat in the jury boxes could not see it in that light. They have all paid the penalty. All of these murderers have at" some time tried to blame education for their crimes. “Education made me do it”, Hick- man told newspaper men two days before he stepped on the California gallows. Loeb and Leopold made similar statements be- fore they entered the Illinois penitentiary. If Atlanta juries find Harsh and Gallog- ly guilty of murder, we may expect to hear the same old story,——Education did it. But this time we will take the assertion with a grain of salt. Last year Gallogly was in the Washington and Lee student body. The ad- 9 against him get 'knocked all over the lot. Come through for him like a good God an’ tell all the mothers to vote for him.

In saying this I point to that which will make your study heroic. For I say to you in all sadness of convecition, that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. Only when you have worked alonevwhen you have felt around you a black gulf of solitude more isolating than that which surrounds the dying men, and in hope and in despair have trusted to your own unshakcn will— then only will you have achieved. Thus only can you gain the secret isolated jay of the thinker, who knows that, long after he is dead and forgot- ten, men who never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thoughts—the subtle rapture of a postponed power, which the world knows not be- cause it has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army. And if this joy should not be yours,—still it is only thus that you can know that you have done what it lay in you to do,—can say that you have lived, and be ready for the end. —-Oliver Wendell Holmes. __?_o___ The plant is an animal confined in a wooden case; and Nature, like Sycorax, holds thousands of “delicate Ariels” imprisoned in every oak.

No Let Up For Trackmen Between thirty and forty men composing the Varsity and Fresh- man track aspirants have been re- porting daily to Coach Fletcher for the fall outdoor track pro- gram on Wilson field. The fall program will continue until Thanksgiving when a layoff will begin until after Christmas when work will be resumed in- doors in Doremus gymnasium. Both squads will receive some individual competition indoors and the Varsity will probably be re- presented in the intercollegiate indoor meet sponsored by the Uni- versity of Richmond in February. The Freshmen,ihowever, will send only a relay ‘team to the indoor meet. The indoor work will continue until early spring when the out- door work will be begun in ear- nest; in preparation for the inter- collegiate meets scheduled. ——:0 1 “' annual dig on ouri ‘* Give us your trade And each meal finds them on their‘ We are not satisfied with being good,-—We want to be better and we strive willingness to give service.

U.-- Goes__ Into__ First Place With 148 Points; W&L Tenth Last Week‘s performances on the gridirons of the Southern Con- ference saw a change in the lead- ing positions in the race for scor- ing honors. Louisiana State Uni- versity jumped into the lead with a total of 148 points, displacing Clemson, last week’s leader. Washington and Lee is now in tenth place with a total of 101 points. Three weeks ago, the Gen- erals were in second place, but their total scoring activitiy since that time has been but seven points. All the teams in the Conference are now in the scoring ranks, Au- burn having tallied twenty-five points last week. Incidentally the victory over Howard was the first to be garnered by Auburn in sev- enteen starts. Ten of the teams have advanced beyond the 100-mark in total scor- ing for the season.

Many of the teams have already fallen by the wayside, one or more defeats having been cre- dited to them. The Florida ’Ga- tors and the Tennessee Vols are the only squads on the Washing- ton and Lee schedulethat have an unblemished record. Lynchburg College faces’ the strong Richmond University squad in the feature battle of the Vir- ginia conference. The Hornets stand an excellent chance for state honors, provided they remove Dod- son’s charges Saturday. Richmond tie game with the Flying Key- dets, conquerors of the Cavaliers, gives them an added prestige, and it is predicted that the Richmond- ers will win by two touchdowns. The Hornet’s chief difficulty lies in the weakness of their reserve strength, but they may surprise by showing the same aerial attack that featured their victory over Randolph-Macon. Ohio State-Princeton The feature’ game of the card is the Ohio State-Princeton bat- tle at Columbus Ohio. The Tigers started off the season with al crushing attack, but weakened and were held to a scoreless tie by the Virginia Cavaliers. Last week, the Tigers just man- aged to eke out a victory over the Cornell eleven, when Lowry scor- ed with a placement kick from the field. Princeton followers point to the fact that the absence of Miles, VVittmer and Baruch were the contributary causes of the close score. With their full strength, the Roper machine threatens to stop the victorious march of Ohio State squad. Undefeated The Columbus team has yet to lose a game and they are one of the favorites for the Big Ten ti- tle. Harold Kruskamp, All-Amer- ican candidate, has proved a hard man to stop and the Tiger for- ward wall will get the acid test in Saturday’s fray. From a pre- game concensus it appears that the Mid-Westerners are due for a victory and they should Win by a touchdown. The Tennessee backfield will have a holiday Saturday when they face Carson-Newman at Knoxville. The Vols should take the lead in the race for scoring honors in the Southern Confer- ence after the final score of the game is put up. Eugene McEver, sophomore back, should garner several touchdowns, provided the coaches decide to use him. Car- son-Newman has already been swamped by schools in the con- ference, Kentucky having beaten them, 61-0. The Tennessee oppo- sition for the next week or so, seems to be of a mediocre qual- ity and by time the Vanderbilt game rolls by, the Vols should be at the pinnacle of perfection. V. P. I. Meets Maryland The Pony Express will swing into action against the Old Liners from Maryland at Lynchburg. V. P. I. has lost but one game out- side the conference, and they are among the leaders in the race for first honors. Maryland’s tie game with the Keydets will give the Gobblers some idea of the comparative strength of the rival military school eleven. The Gob- blers have been going at full speed and they should ride over the Old Liners, to win handily. The Blacksburg team will miss the services of “Muddy” Rule, star back, who will be forced to the side-lines for the remainder of the year, due to injuries. With Peake, Mattox and Tomko going at their accustomed pace, the Tech team should encounter little opposition Out For Vengeance The battle of the Tar Heel State will be centered in the annual Struggle between the Tar Heels and the Wolfpack.

Both teams are evenly matched with the slight margin in favor of the Tar Heels. With the memory of McDowell's single-handed triumph over the Tar Heels last year, the Wolfpack will make their bid for the state championship. The -Tar Heels have played far better teams, losing to Harvard and Georgia Tech, Vir- ginia Poly also holds a decision over the Wolfpack. Kentucky journeys to Nashville to meet the Vanderbilt machine. Both teams are undefeated in the Southern Conference, but Vander- bilt’s record shows the stronger drive. Last week’s contests with Center holding the Wildcats to a 8-0 score, leaves room for im- provement in the Kentucky offen- sive. Armistead and company are by no means going to have a holi- day at the expense of the Wild- cats, but they should win easily. Kentucky has a good set of backs in Portwood, Covington and Gilb, but the forward wall of the Com- modores has stood firm against the best that the Southern Con- ference has offered up to ‘date, and unless something unlooked for happens, they shhuld encoun- ter little difficulty in setting aside the slants of the Wildcat backs. Tiger Goes To Florida Florida, undefeated this season will have an obstacle in the form-, of the Sewanee Tigers. Crabtree is reported to be severely injured, and this may play havoc with the smoothness of the ’Gator offens- ive. Florida has developed a pow- erful line that has been receiving a great deal of publicity from sport scribes in that region. The ’Gators have plenty of material to choose from and the backfield is far from depleted. They should win by a close score, though it would not surprise if Sewanee turned the tables on them. Pro- vided that Crabtree plays, the Florida eleven will have no diffi- culty in setting the Tigers back, but the absence of this star will alter conditions greatly. The only battle with an inter- section al tinge is the Mountaineer Fordham game at the Yankee Sta- dium in New York City. The Mountaineers have shown crush- ing power since their set-back at the hands of the Davis-Elkins squad, and they believe that this is their year. Stumpp has as yet failed to report, but there are hopes that he will be able to go into action against the Maroons. With Bartug, Glenn, Keefer, La- rue and Ryan to choose from, the task of selecting a Mountaineer backfield should not be difficult assignment for the Morgantown mentor. Fordham has been beaten by New York University, but they have shown great drive in games against teams of their class. West Virginia stands an excellent chance to win, but the power of the Northerners is far superior to the West Virginia offensive and the Maroons should be re- turned the winners. V. I. meets Davidson at Al- umni field and they will encounter little trouble in winning. Captain Ab Barnes is expected to take up where he left off in the Virginia game and he is being looked to for heavy gains against the Da- vidson outfit. Harner and McCray will have their opportunity to smooth the rough spots in the of- fensive and many of the Virginia Military Institute’s substitutes ought to see service Saturday. It will be the last home appearance of the Keydets, for on the follow- ing week they meet Clemson and then Kentucky and V. P. I., in the Turkey Day attraction.

After the first bout in which Davidson sur- prised Stultz of the varsity by downing him, the outcome of the contest was never in doubt. Ten freshmen fell before the onslaugh of their varsity opponents in quick succession, the count was varsity 41-freshmen 3. The score does not, however, in- dicate the bitterness of the strug- gles, and three freshmen at least succumbed only after a gallant fight. The Gordon-Barkus, Beard- Belser, and Osterman-Rule fra- cases all went the limit, before a decision could be reached. Palmer, sophomore candidate for the varsity, proved that he will furnish Rule and Davis, both of whom are monogram men, plenty of competition in the 135 pound class. He threw Perlman, a freshman, in 1:45 which was the fastest time of the afternoon, and then did an iron man act by go- ing to the mat with Pomeroy, a varsity tryout, and again winning the decision. The biggest surprise of the af- ternoon was the exceptionally stern opposition that Clarke furv nished Bolton, who has represent~~ ed the Generals for two seasons on the mat. These men, in an in- ter—varsity bout, fought through two extra periods, and, when time was finally called, neither one had won the decision. Coach A. E. Mathis directed the varsity while his brother Wayne took charge of the yearlings. Ma- this expressed himself as well pleased with the meet, for it en- abled him to detect the faults of his men while under fire. The rough spots which revealed them- selves Thursday will be gone over in the practice sessions next week. A summary of the meet follows: Davidson, freshman, defeated Stultz, varsity, one extra period. Barkus, varsity, defeated Gordon, freshman, decision. Kessler, var- sity, defeated Richardson, fresh- man, fall 1:48. Halpern, varsity, defeated Smither, freshman, fall 3:15. Belser, varsity, defeated Beard, freshman, two extra per- iods.

The statement follows, together with the names of the signers: “The undersigned citizens of the South, some of them supporters of the one presidential candidate and some of the other, desire unit- edly to voice this public protest against the injection of the race question into the present political campaign. Had either political group alone been responsible for raising this subject, we would hesitate to make this statement, lest it be thought partisan.
