It is expected to be the largest crowd to attend a dance here this term. Not only alumni, and among them such favorites as Cy Young, will be on the floor, but more girls and more students have signified their intentions of attend- ing than have been at previous dances. University Orchestra The Southern Collegians, an or- chestra composed of thirteen men from eleven different states, have heached the best form they have shown since they played for va- cation dancers on the ocean liner S. S. Paris during their return from Europe this summer. The Collegians are directed by H. G. Morison, banjoist extraor- dinary, who is rounding out his third year in the Collegians. T. G. Gibson, a Commerce Senior, jazzes the first alto saxophone and will be leader of Fancy Dress this year, E. L. Greshman, a ju- nior, the Collegian’s dude and pro- crastinator toots the third also sax. C. E. White, hailing from Oklahoma, freshman lawyer, holds down the third alto section. Harold Slanker, former director of the Collegians, present director of the university band, is known for the pep he’ puts into a trum- pet. Homer L. Shook coming from Ohio is the only Yankee in the orchestra. He plays second trum- pet. George Steuterman blows the trombone until god looking women appear. Then he can’t work. Ethan (Kid) Allen, not the Revolutionary war hero, hops the piano. R. P. DuPage plays the drums (you are warned not to monkey with his new bass drum.) Turner Adams, bass horn, is a transfer in the or- chestra. Linwood Atkinson real- ly thrums the banjo and Jan Campbell, bass player, uses .his spare time to play the organ at the New Theatre. 0 Alumni Magazine Comes Off Press The November issue of the Al- umni Magazine of Washington and Lee niversity appeared last week.The magazine, edited by Al- umni Secretary Verbon Kemp. contains thirty pages of general news relative to the university and personal notes on prominent al- umni and faculty members. A photographic portrait of Dr. Henry Louis Smith, president of the university, makes up the cov- er design of the new issue. ._.A()_ As a result of Saturday’s up- sets, only Boston college and Car- negie Tech remain undefeated and untied in the eastern sector.

After dropping the initial en- counter to William and Mary frosh, the Little Generals blanked V. P. I. frosh, University of Va. frosh, and Greenbrier Military Academy and won from Maryland 7 to 6. Every game had unusually low scores. The result was the Generals scored a total of 39 counters while the opposition was collecting only 18. The Blue and White ran up its largest score against Greenbrier, defeating the Cadets 13 to 0.. Incidently the only team to cross Washington and Lee’s goal line, with the ex- ception of the game the yearlings lost to William and Mary, was the Maryland cubs when they chalked up a lone touchdown. Famous Notre Dame Coach Deplores New Evil In Football Circles “Every year we read articles about what a terrible thing foot- ball is; how it swallows up thou- sands of boys,” says Knute Rock- ne of Notre Dame in his article, “Football Is Fun,” in the De- cember College Humor. “But the stories are written by people who have never played football.

Education ignores such necessary lprinciples he characterized as dis- asterous. ‘ “Teachers drill you everyday,” [President Smith wrote, “in the ivocabulary and syntax of foreign languages.

The Generals, in spite of in- machine will, with the exception of the ends, present their entire first team. Many bruises were suffered in the Princeton encoun- ter, but none proved serious. Bar- nett, Cooke, and Williams are the only varsity men who will be un- able to break into the game. Herron Has Tricks Coach Herron has worked out an elaborate system of passes, end runs, and off tackle slants to present to the Techmen. The bag. of tricks contains a variety of new plays expected to baffle the Gobbler’s featherweight line. An interesting duel is slated to take place when Captain Fitzpat- rick of the Generals and Cap- tain Bailey of the Techmen charge each other from opposite tackle berths. Fitzpatrick has been ham- pered by injuries and sickness most of the season, but has shown much pep and dash during prac- tices this week. He is set to give his former team mate a scrap. Played Together Fitzpatrick and Bailey held down the tackle berths on the Roanoke High School team five years ago which carried all oppo- sition before it. They parted as they went away to college. This season finds them captains of op- posing teams. Fitzpatrick has about a 12 pound advantage over his enemy, but Bailey used his 183 pounds with telling effect against the heavy “Wahoos” last Saturday. The crippled Tech backfield lost another regular when it was an- nounced early this week that Bill Spear, promising halfback, receiv- ed a splintered shoulder blade in last-week’s contest with Virginia.

T1_”9Y_ lfsed Only two passes against Virginia Saturday and it is hard- ly probable they will alter their D133’ against the Generals.

UNITED WE SUFFER— DIVIDED WE PROSPER Sports editors of several Southern met- ropolitan dailies have for three years sug- gested a split in the Southern conference as the best thing for everybody concerned. They have pointed out how much better it would be to have two organizations of fewer teams rather than one unweildy, cumber- some conference in which there is an an- nual argument about sectionalisrn, partial- ity, and a whole lot of other athletic tom- my rot. It’s a good plan, and the sports writers are to be commended for what they have done. The only trouble is, the thing has never come to a head. Each year when the football season ends, these sports editors find they suddenly have a lot of space to fill. Baseball occupied the column in the summer; football came along in the fall: It was pie for the sports editor. He had so much copy that all he had to do was sit in his office and pick out of the thousands of‘ words the fact and fancy, that came by! telegraph, telephone and United States mail, ! bunk and baloney, enough to fill his sport: page every day. i But all easy pickin’s come to an end! some time, and so it is along about the mid- dle of December these sports editors beginli to comment on cutting the Southern Confer— ence in two. They offer suggestions, createf a world of material for undergraduate dis—‘ cussion in twenty—two Southern universities , and then let the matter drop until copy 21-} gain becomes scarce. | It’s a good enough idea for action. Cer-1 tainly the Southern Conference is too large! now. The twenty-two teams which compose! ‘it are scattered through eleven states from! Maryland to Florida and from Virginia to: Louisana. A trip from Virginia to Louisanal is a long, expensive proposition when views! in terms of football teams. Therefore Vir- ginia does not meet Louisana, and Alabama| never comes to Maryland. In fact, most of, the schools in the northern section of the: conference never have met most of the schools in the southern part of the organ—,! ization. Yet a conference champion and a! mythical team are chosen. Sometimes a team in the north wins all its games and! a team in the south comes out all-victrious. ' That doesn’t matter. A champion is picked! just the same. Newspapers in the states of! the upper half of the conference write glad tidings of the northern teams; newspapers of the far south do the same for the schools in that section. Oftimes men who pick all- i l l I conference elevens do not see more than three or four teams in action during a sea- son. I So it’s a poor system. There ought to be a reorganization. Let the conference be subdivided, with a governor over the nine schools in the northern section and a gov- ernor over the thirteen universities in the south. Let schoolscplay conference games only in their section. Then, at the end of the season, it would be easy to say, “This is the best team in the northern half; this is the best team in the southern half. And then, for the benefit of those who howl for a conference title, let there be -a big post season game between these two champions. Let ’em fight it out for the glory of the South, for then, and only then, would there be any recognized significance to the title, “Champions of the Southern Conference.” ‘ _______0____ TIME IS FLEETIN G Hunting days are here—Turkey days- ——days of wood smoke air and fragrant harvest. A sparrow appears from nowhere and with difficulty alights upon a limb above our heads. Its perch is uncertain. Wind ruffles its feathers as if to change it into a peacock. The little fellow will surely fall, or at least revolve around the limb. No, he’s clever. He takes advantage of a lull in the stiff breeze and straightens himself with confidence. He even hops a- bout and takes a few sidewise steps along the limb. Then the wind comes with added fury. After a gallant struggle, the wee mendicant losses his balance and flies exas- perated to a more protected perch. As the daunted sparrow lights beneath the leaves of Newcomb Hall, a pigeon coos boastfully and flies forth to show its su- perior strength. It, too, is overcome by the breeze and turns back to its sheltered roost. Leaves float about like thistle down. Their work is ended. Trees stand helpless- ly naked and bemoan their lack of cover. The wind is a merciless artist. Toward the northwest, mountains stand in confusion and shame. Even their mass- iveness could not check the destructive art- ist. Along their sides fodder shocks con- ceal golden grain and await the harvest of the farmer. They, too, impede not the re- negade wind. We wrap our coats closer about us and dodge bravely around a corner into the blast. Behind the next building we briefly halt to take the shock. * Did we not, as we hurriedly, shiveringly dress for our eight- thirty class, forget some necessary clothes? That wind seems unusually chilly. Our breath comes in misty spurts like smoke from the beeman’s bellows. Our lungs smart with exhilirating air. Our ears ga- ther distant sounds of a crying woodsaw. The sun seems farthed away than usual. The traitor! Could it be in league with the wind? After all, it’s not so bad. If the November breeze wasn’t quite so strong! There come to our minds happy thoughts of long walks through open fields, of dili— . gent search for the furry mass and long ears that turn into a flying ball of snowy cotton. The fell of a gun, the grip of a cartridge belt, the smell of powder, the triumphant yelping of dogs taught us re- peatedly. We imagine we hear the whirr of.a flushedpartridge. Our arms go up to take aim. We missed him. No matter ——we’ll get him before long. It is with reluctance wethink of the ines: “The melancholy days are come, The saddest of the year, Of wailing winds, and naked woods, And meadows brown and sere.” We become cynical: “Thirty days hath November”—but what long ones. Then a guilty feeling of unfairness causes us to rebuke ourselves. We.grit our teech at the lwind, nod sympathetically toward the mouii— tains, IJCI step around the corner. It can’t be so very long until. . . . . On a farm near Lexington a large red- necked turkey struts proudly about the yard and wonders why the farmer’s wife lately has mixed affection with its feed. 0 JUST A SORE EYE Thousands of people pour through Lex- ington every month. Cars from all over the Union are seen here. On the‘ main north and south highway,’ Lexington pre- sents the image of the neck of a huge hour- glass through which these humans grains of sand are constantly flowing. Tourists carry away various recollec- tions. Some remember Lee’s tomb; others remembers Washington and Lee; others, V. M. 1.; some remember none of these. Nearly all remember the old covered bridge over North river. ' What a welcome to south—bouiid tour- ists! What a farewell to those going north! What an impression it makes. Dark, ugly, dingy and precarious looking, it yawns like a monster of feudal days. The State Highway Commission should appropriate money for a new bridge here. The old one should be condemned and torn away. Public spirited citizens want a new concrete or steel bridge in the place of the old structure and they should get it. _____o_.~__ THEY REST IN PEACE The bodies of Robert E. Lee and “Stone- wall” Jackson will never be removed from Lexington to “Democratic soil in Mississip- pi.” This will be the result if the question is left solely to the students of Washington and Lee and keydets of the Virginia Mili- tary Institute—the home institutions of Lee and Jackson. To remove the bodies of Generals Lee and Jackson from “Democratic soil” in Rockbridge county and Lexington would be an insult to the schools sponsored by these noble chieftans. The Lee Memorial chapel and the Lexington cemetery, the final rest- ing place of the South’s greatest leaders, are treasured spots in our hearts. The Mississippi legislature says “the two great Southern leaders, Robert E. Lee and ‘Stonewall’ Jackson, cannot rest or sleep peacefully in Republican soil.” It is clear that Mississippi’s law-making body was not aware that Rockbridge county and Lexington remained Democratic and that Lee and Jackson continue to “rest and sleep peacefully” in Democratic soil—soil as tru- ly Democratic as that of Mississippi, Ala- bama, South Carolina, Georgia or Arkan- sas. , _____o .- ROANOKE WELCOMES THEM With the exception of the V. P. I.-V. M. I. game here on Thanksgiving Day, the V. P. I.—Washington and Lee game in Lexing- ton on Saturday will be the last of the sea- son between members of the State’s Big Four. V. P. I. has an unbeaten record in the State and in the Southern Conference. Washington and Lee has a team consider- ably stronger than the record indicates, as the showing against Princeton last Satur- day reveals. To score two touchdowns a- gainst Princeton is an achievement of which any team might well be proud, and that is what the Generals did. Having lost the Vir- ginia game through sheer hard luck rather than any thing else, Washington and Lee wil be out to get revenge Saturday by at- tempting to defeat the team that won from Virginia withialmost ridiculous ease last 7 Saturday. A victory over V. P. I. would go far to make amends for a somewhat un- successful season and the Fighting Gener- als are bent on rewarding the loyalty of their supporters with a triumph over the redoubtable Gobblers. The game ought to be of the kind known as a humdinger; every football fan will understand what is meant by that. Saturday’s game will be the second be- tween the two schools on a home-and-home basis. Last years game was played at Blacksburg and under the terms of the agreement the I928 engagement was sche- duled for Lexington. Prior to 1927 the game was played annually in Lynchburg for a number of years and it is understood that the Hill City would like nothing better than to have the game return there next year in the event that the home-and-home arrange- ment is not renewed. Without attempting in any way to upset Lynchburg’s apple- cart, it can be said truthfully that Roan- oke too, would welcome an opportunity to see a Washington and Lee football team in action against a Southern Conference op- ponent, preferably V. P. I. Twelve or fifteen years ‘ago V. P. I. and Washington and Lee played annually at the Fair Grounds and the game was one of the big events of the sports calendar. Roanoke would particularly welcome this game if Graduate Managers Miles and Smith decide to abrogate the home-and-home agreement. Roanoke liberally patronizes the games played on Wilson field, over in Lexington, and this patronage would increase percep- tibly, no doubt, if Washington and Lee should decide to play in Roanoke once a year. A cordial and enthusiastic welcome awaits the fighting Generals whenever they make their next appearance on the gridiron at Maher Field. Let’s hope it wont be long.—Roanoke Times. ______0 __ THOUGHTFUL CENSORS “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, a picture show‘ Beecher Stowe, has been barred from movie houses in Birmingham, Alabama. The cri- tics thought it best to let the sectional feel- ing that once existed between North and South remain dead. The showing of such a distroted picture ‘of negro bondage would tend to rouse great sentiment. This book was written by one of New England’s bitterest abolitionists, one who wrote with inadequate knowledge of con- ditions which existed between master and servant before the Civil War. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” today can serve no other end than to stir hatred and bitter feelings in the North for the treatment of slaves in the South, it can serve no other end than to stir hatred and bitter feeling for the mali- . cious misrepresentation it conveys. In refusing this picture in Birmingham or any city in America is no more than right. A book which by no means was typ- ical of Southern slavery, but rather a pic- ture of slavery as it existed in the imagina- , tions of New England abolitionists’ should be barred by the national bureau of film inspection. SUBWAY KITCHEN, Inc. By Students-—-For Students PRESIDENT’S PARAGRAPH l the Goat~A ruminant mammal of the genus Capra of the family Bovidae, more agile and less timid than sheep, kept usually for milk, skin, and flesh; applied to any male animal, especially one that jumps. “What’s your name, goat?” A flurry of language that would send a Bostonian dashing home- ward clouds the campus daily when the Pans and White Friars seek to impress on their neophytes their comparative insignificance. Why is a goat?Humorists of the “Twainish” variety may probably answer—“The higher the lower.” But there’s a cause for everything even the hole in that sock, or the swollen tongue that tastes like the sole of a shoe on Sunday mornings. Man is essentially an egoist. Else, why vari-colored neckties ranging in color scheme from a smashed fried egg motif to that of sunset tsruck by lightning? of sunset struck by lightning? as bright neckties. Arnold put on that red, white, lavender, and green tie yesterday .and strolled law-schoolward, and as each passing eye fell on that masterpiece of cravat creation, his soul ebbed and flowed with pride. Henry hasn’t got a necktie, but he gets the same emotional out- let when he stands in front of ‘Nashington college and makes his green and red tipped goats perform for his amusement. Everybody is a goat sooner or later—whether he fails to draw into that full house, or whether he fries his eggs in later life in the same pan with a veritable Gorgon. We’re all goats—goats to the great brotherhood of life (per- orations must wax abstract, or ijhey can’t be classified as such.) very day of our lives, we’re fur- thering some man’s ego; and it matters little whether we’re of the genus Capra, or just one of the Smiths or Jones. So bear with the boisterous pleadings of mercy at the hands of someone or other, and remem- ber it’s making someone feel a little more “up in the world.” It’s to broaden acquaintance on the campus, the old men will tell you -—but watch the extra strain on that top button of his vest when he yells “What’s your name goat?” and sends some red or greenfcapped vcitim into paroxy- sins o screaming.

THE RING-TUM PHI PAGE 3 Varsity Boxers After Holidays According to Bill Price, coach of boxing, more than fifteen men will have rounded into shape when he issues the first call for varsity practice immediately after the Thanksgiving holidays. The team will be built around Junkin in the 115 lb. class; Black who was undefeated in the South in 1927, in the 125 lb. class; Crenshaw of last year’s Frosh_ squad, Bledsoe, Platt and Bill Ward in the 135 lb. class; Cross- land of 1927’s Frosh squad, and Peery in the 145 lb class; Tommy Thompson of last year’s varsity will be a strong contender in the 158 lb. class; Faulkner and Fang- boner in the 175 lb. class. In the unlimited class Mike Seligman, captain of last year's wrestlers, will try his hand. ' It is likely that members of the squad will be asked to return to school a few days early after the Christmas holidays as the first meet, that with William and Mary is scheduled two weeks after school reopens. The schedule in- cludes meets with Virginia, V. P.I. Duke, North Carolina, Catholic University, and William and Mary. Coach Price is also well pleased with the Freshman squad number- ing over 25 which has been prac- ticing for a month and a half. At this early date the following men are showing excellent form: in the 115 pound class, Robinson and DeBogery; 125 lb. Jones, Mc- Kinney, 135 lbs; and Homestead, 145 lb class. The heavyweight ranks will be greatly strengthen- ed by the addition of some of the football men, including Smith, Tilson and Long. The Fresh schedule will begin immediately after Christmas and includes meets with A. M. A., S. M. A., V. P. I., ‘and Virginia. ___?0 __ Pittsfield, Mass.——Cuyler Lakin, football fan, can not attend his favorite sport for a year.

F0 THE BEST «P INTING SPEKPIAL A Good I.-P.l Student Note GENERAL GOSSIP Alumni returning for Homecom- ing Day today are wondering just who the boys are who will carry the colors of the Big Blue eleven against the Tech Gobblers. Speak- ing generally, they will see a team which we predicted and honestly believed, and which we still think but for continued injuries, would ‘be one of the outstanding teams of the Southern Conference, and certainly among the top-notchers in the South Atlantic area. A machine, conditioned and coached to the point of over- whelming a team undefeated in conference circles in 1927, and rated to repeat this year, cer- tainly has the power and the tu- toring to point the way for most elevens. Washington and Lee, in the second game of the season, showed itself just such a team when it swamped N. C. State 38 to 6, the Wolfpack never being in the running after the first few minutes. The irony of the affair came in," Towill, the other starting flank- l T man, pulled an old hurt and has T not played since. The punish- ! ment taken from the invading ' Staters was such that several other men, including Captain Fitzpatrick, Henry Groop, White, Lott and others, were made susceptible to injuries which showed their full fury in later games. In later battles, Barnett, Cocke, who had become a regular end, Thibodeau, Faulkner, and Haw- kins received blows which kept them from action from time to substitutes into the when the starting. Even with the crippled "condi- tion of the squad, Coach Pat Herron kept his reserves drill- ed to such a point that such important battles as those with Kentucky, Virginia and Prince- ton were lost only by narrow margins, with much of the op- position scoring coming only as a result of breaks taken advan- tage of by the more experienced players which the opposing squads, unsmitten by injuries, lineup just crucial games were however, when the very game, which brought the Generals before‘, sports’ writers brought to the warriors themselves injuries from, which they have not yet recover-’ ed. 1 Williams, end, who scored twoi touchdowns singlehanded and was on the road to another when he fell, so hurt his foot that he has been worthless since, and could put on the field.

There are but few games remaining for the majority of the teams, and the next two or three weeks should see a cessa- tion of football activities through- out the Southern Conference. Sev- eral of the more southerly teams have games until the second week in December, but teams in the Northern sector play no later than Thanksgiving Day. ' Three Washington and Lee op- ponents are undefeated. They are among the claimants for sectional honors. Tennessee, Florida and Princeton are in this class, but the Tigers have two tie games to mar an otherwise clean slate. Florida and Tennessee while un- defeated, are also leading in the number of points scored this sea- son, both teams having tallied well over the 200-mark. “Fly In Ointment” West Virginia’s defeat at the hands of Davis-Elkins is the “fly in the ointment” to the Moun- taineers championship hopes. Since this opening reverse, the Mountaineers have six straight victories. Pittsburg, Fordham, La- fayette and Oklahoma A. & M. have fallen before the crushing power of Mountaineer banks. The Lynchburg College Hornets are idle this weekend. They are taking their practice sessions lightly, hoping to keep at top form for the remaining state con- ference contests. The Kentucky Wildcats face the Flying Keydets. From past re- cords, it appears these teams should play to a standstill. V. M. I. has shown some power in the last few games, and the Kentucky gridders held the Vanderbilt Com-. modores to a 14-7 victory last week at Nashville.The clash should develop into a four man battle between Barnes and Harner and Covington and Portwood.

The game should result in a tie. Cavaliers Meet Old Liners The Virginia Cavaliers face t1Te Maryland Old, Liners today at College Park. Both elevens have already been eliminated from the race for South Atlantic honors. The game should result in a close fight for advanced standing in the conference Northern sector. Maryland’s showing against Yale last Saturday, when they snatch- ed a 6-0 victory gives Byrd’s men a decided advantage. Contrary to opinions, Eli sent her first team out to battle the Southerners. It was the ability to take advantage of breaks, and the running of Snyder, that spelled defeat for Yale. After their touchdown had been scored, the Old Liners fought grimly to protect their lead, and the whistle prevented a final Yale drive from culminating into a tally. Wahoo’s Fading Virginia's star seems to be wan- ing, and Maryland bids fair to further extinguish the flame of Cavalier supremacy on the grid- iron. A feature battle of the day is the Tennessee-Vanderbilt go at Knoxville. Tennessee has a diffi- ' cult barriers to surmount.The Vols will find it necessary to defeat Armistead and company to put forth any claim to the Southern Conference title. The Tennessee championship is at stake. The Vols and Commodores both have im- pressive records. Tennessee holds decisions over Alabama, Ole Miss., Center, Carson-Newman, Wash- ington and Lee and Sewanee. The Commodores have suffered but one defeat, that at the hands of the Golden Tornado. Vander- bilt's triumph over Colgate in their only intersectional game has added to their prestige. Again in this game it will be a battle of stellar backfield men.The forward walls are evenly matched, and the eleven that gets the jump in the early part of the game will no doubt be returned the victor. The combination of “Hack to Mack”, featuring McEver and Hackman, stellar backs, will meet foes equal of their steel in Schwartz and Ar- mistead. The Vols should win by a touchdown, provided the Com- modores aerial offense is held in check until the Vols can swing their big guns into action. Clemson at Jacksonville The ’Gators face Clemson at Jacksonville. Florida has been go- ing at top speed from the open- ing week, and they have unleash-‘ ed a scoring drive that has swept everything before them. The ’Ga- tors are in the van of the South- ern Conference parade for scor- ing honors, averaging over fifty points a game. Last week’s game, when they trimmed the University of Georgia 26-6, was the lowest scoring done by the Florida team this year. In Brumbaugh, the Gators have a back who is a tie for fifth po- sition in individual Southern Con- ference scoring honors. It was thought Crabtree’s injury would prove to be a severe blow to the ’Gators, but his absence has not had a detrimental effect on the Florida prospects. Crabtree has been able to play, but a few minutes in each game, but he is steadily improving and is expected to see regular ser- vice within the next week. Clem- son holds a 13-0 victory over V. M. I. and a 32-0 triumph over South Carolina Gamecocks. ’Gators Favored At the rate the ’Gators have been bowling their opponents over they should encounter little dif- ficulty in winning this fray. Clemson has a line that stands with the best in the conference, and they may play havoc with the Florida offense; North Cfirolina State engages in a contest to determine the Tar Heel state championship. They face Duke today. The Wolfpack has won one and tied one in the state loop, and with the defeat of Duke they will have an excellent claim to the title. The Wolfpack had a tough time ekeing out a 14-7 victory over the Davidson team last week. They may fall by the wayside to- day. Duke’s ambitious schedule, in an effort to bask in the limelight of national football prominence, has proved their undoing. They ity of teams. —The Wolfpack is slowly recov- ering from the ill-effects of the General game, and Tebell may realize his dream that “the Wolf- pack is a power to be reckoned with on Southern gridirons..” Past performances favor Duke, but the Wolfpack has been under a handi- cap.

After seeing the Blue and White eke out a victory over the Old Liners, Coach Forrest Flet- cher, head of athletics, said that the 1928 team was one of the fin- est frosh elevens to represent this University. Excepting the pre-season in- juries of Martin, former Balti- more Poly star, and Cross, ex- Central High back, the team was devoid of serious additions to its hospital list. Practically the same eleven started every fray and only gave way to the substitutes when Coach E. P. Davis saw that his charges had the contest safe- ly tuckedaway. Perhaps the work of Captain “Billy” Long, elected as perma- nent head prior to the Virginia game, was the outstanding high- light of the Generals defensive power. Not only a speedy wing- man, but an efficient punter of marked ability, Long was an im- passable barrier at his flank posi- tion. Beverly Smith, hard plunging halfback, was season high point scorer with 21 counters. His edu- cated toe was successful on every trial for the point after touch- down. 0_~_._ ROCKNE DAMNS FOOTBALL BETS (continued from page 1 through the third quarter. In this last quarter Notre Dame pulled a, great comeback. As a result, Notre Dame won thirteen to ten. I whistled gayly and allowed the managers an extra dollar for din- ner. That’s how good I felt.-But lo, I found our townspeople and alumni who had bet on the game by twenty-seven points—were as —and they had all bet we’d win sore as a boiled owl at me. No one has any objection to friendly wagers made just in fun but the big money wager is the chap I have in mind. Big money gam- blers will ruin college football if they are not stopped. I have a thick hide for this species of poor sport and the only regret I have ‘is that they didn’t lose more. The man who bets not only gets no fun out of it but is a hindrance to the game as a clean sport and he is lacking in a sense of humor, for every time he loses a bet he wants to have the coach fired. “In fact, the biggest blot on the game is the alumni without a sense of humor and the fellow who insists on betting big money. Eliminate both of these mutants and everybody connected with football will have a lot more fun.” tory, by a touchdown margin. Mountaineers Make Bid The West Virginia Mountaineers make their bid forg Eastern hon- ors when they tackle Georgetown today. The Carnegie Tech eleven threw a wrench in the George- town machinery, that was making a drive for national honors, and the Kilties managed to limp off the field with a 13-0 victory. Georgetown’s triumph over New York University had given them the odds against the Tech team, but Jock Sutherland threw his en- tire strength at the Washington! team and scored first. West Virginia has yet to meet Carnegie, but it is imperative that they down Georgetown this af- ternoon. The backfield of Stumpp, Bartug, Kee-fer, Glenn and Ryan will play havoc with the heavy Garnet line, and if the Mountain- eers play true to their present pace, they should romp off with the game. Princeton vs Yale The Princeton Tigers will ven- ture from their lair to meet the Yale Bulldogs at the Yale Bowl. The Tigers are undefeated, while the Blue have been beaten twice. The injury suffered by Johnny Garvey, Yale ace, in the Mary-- land fray will prove a severe handicap to Yale aspirations.

Widely Reputed Collegians Selected To Furnish Music; Large Crowd Expected Homecoming Day will come to a climax with the third informal of the year, a dance given by the Monogram Club for the benefit of the Washington and Lee sweater fund tonight in Doremus gymnasium. _ A cosmopolitan air unlike that in any university dance given here this fall will prevade the gymnasium when al- umni, their wives, and their dents from both Washington daughters, mingle with stu- and Lee and V. P. I., amid the strains of music from the Southern Collegians, the South’s most cosmopolitan college dance orchestra. It is expected to be the largest crowd to attend a dance here this term. Not only alumni, and among them such favorites as Cy Young, will be on the floor, but more girls and more students have signified their intentions of attend- ing than have been at previous dances. University Orchestra The Southern Collegians, an or- chestra composed of thirteen men from eleven different states, have heached the best form they have shown since they played for va- cation dancers on the ocean liner S. S. Paris during their return from Europe this summer. The Collegians are directed by H. G. Morison, banjoist extraor- dinary, who is rounding out his third year in the Collegians. T. G. Gibson, a Commerce Senior, jazzes the first alto saxophone and will be leader of Fancy Dress this year, E. L. Greshman, a ju- nior, the Collegian’s dude and pro- crastinator toots the third also sax. C. E. White, hailing from Oklahoma, freshman lawyer, holds down the third alto section. Harold Slanker, former director of the Collegians, present director of the university band, is known for the pep he puts into a trum- pet. Homer L. Shook coming from Ohio is the only Yankee in the orchestra. He plays second trum- pet. George Steuterman blows the trombone until god looking women appear. Then he can’t work. Ethan (Kid) Allen, not the Revolutionary war hero, hops the piano. R. P. DuPage plays the drums (you are warned not to monkey with his new bass drum.) Turner Adams, bass horn, is a transfer in the or- chestra. Linwood Atkinson real- ly thrums the banjo and Jan Campbell, bass player, uses his spare time to play the organ at the New Theatre. *0 Alumni Magazine Comes Off Press The November issue of the Al- umni Magazine of Washington and Lee niversity appeared last week.The magazine, edited by Al- umni Secretary Verbon E. Kemp, contains thirty pages of general news relative to the university and personal notes on prominent al- umni and faculty members. A photographic portrait of Dr. Henry Louis Smith, president of the university, makes up the cov- er design of the new issue. m,_()_m_ As a result of Saturday’s up- sets, only Boston college and Car- negie Tech remain undefeated and untied in the eastern sector.

Rockne Damns Betting; Says Results Bad Famous Notre Dame Coach Deplores New Evil In Football Circles “Every year we read articles about what a terrible thing foot- ball is; how it swallows up thou- sands of boys,” says Knute Rock- ne of Notre Dame in his article, “Football Is Fun,” in the De- cember College Humor. “But the stories are written by people who have never played football. Foot- ball is a lot of fun, but you have to have the proper point of view to appreciate it. The people who take it too seriously are alumni and townspeople who bet.

White has crashed through the opposing farword walls for eight touchdowns, and his performances have earned favorable comment from the Dixie sports writers. The General ace is leading his opponents in the Northern sec- tor of the Conference, with Frank Peake of Virginia Poly, a close second. The meeting of these two stars today will decide the lead- .-rship of this district, and the forwards of both teams are going to keep close tabs on White and Peake. Eugene McEver, sensational soph back, has bosted himself into first place in the race. The Vol star has scored thirteen touchdowns and his teammate, Hackman, has tallied six times.

After dropping the initial en- counter to William and Mary fresh, the Little Generals blanked V. P. I. frosh, University of Va. frosh, and Greenbrier Military Academy and won from Maryland 7 to 6. Every game had unusually low scores. The result was the Generals scored a total of 39 counters while the opposition was collecting only 18. White ran up its largest score against Greenbrier, defeating the Cadets 13 to 0.. Incidently the only team to cross Washington and Lee’s goal line, with the ex- ception of the game the yearlings lost to William and Mary, was the Maryland cubs when they chalked up a lone touchdown. “Cy” Young, former grid star at (Continued on page four) Rarglgihphkt Discovered ln Discarded Pile Essay Written by First Pres- ident of Washington Aca- demy Uncovered A rare book and a valuabe pamphlet have been uncovered in a pile of musty discarded books, which have lain in the basement of the University libr- ary for many years. The book, published in 1874 by Thomas H. Wynne, is entitled, “Historia1 Documents from the Old Domin- ion.” The pamphlet is an essay on government written in 1786 by William Graham, the first president of Washington Academy, a school which developed into Washington and Lee university. Both volumes were uncatalogu- ed and unknown until found. They were uncovered by the librarian, Miss Blanche McCrum, who was inspecting the pile before having ‘it removed. The Wynne volume is valuable for its rarity. It is fifth of a series. Had Three Volumes Three volumes of the series have been on the shelves of the library for many years. With the addi- tion of the fifth volume only one, the fourth, is missing. The newest volume is unbound. It contains the Vestry Book of St. John’s church, Richmond. Thomas H. Wynne, the publisher and col- lector, was once corresponding secretary of the Virginia Histor- ical society. The pamphlet was printed in Philadelphia in 1786 and is an es- say on government in the State of Franklin, which existed in the territory now occupied by the State of Tennessee. Pleaded For Territority Following a turbulent session of the territory’s legislators the Rev. William Graham wrote his thirty- seven page discourse. He pleaded for the state to continue and dis- cussed the possibility of its becom- ing a part of North Carolina. Until 1889 the booklet was evi- dently on the library shelves. In that year Jothn Fuller, who was the librarian, bound it in card- board and inserted a brief note on the last page. “This essay,” he wrote, “was written by the Rev. William Gra- ham, who then lived in Franklin, now Tennessee. He would not call that Territory Franklin as it was generally called, but Frankland, for he never liked Dr. Franklin (continued on page 4) The Blue and, Three Dances Arranged For Fall Holidays Gym To Be Decorated In C Colors Representing Spirit of Season KEYSER’S ORCHESTRA ENGAGED FOR AFFAIRS Tallyn, Lynn, Bush, and Go- wan To Lead Figures At Formals Thanksgiving vacation will us- her in the three outstanding Washington and Lee fall dances. Two of them will be formal, the third, a tea dansant, will be in- formal. For the first time this fall the Doremus gymnasium will be clo- thed in decorations and in colors representing the Thanksgiving season——colors flavoring of har- vest fields—and colors rivaling vari—colored leaves of late fall-- orange, yellow, and amber. Kay Kester and his orchestra from a New York city night club will furnish the music. First Dance Friday Dancing will begin Friday night, November 30, with the so- phomore cotillion which will be led by William Henry Tallyn,, president of the sophomore class, who will be assisted by Ralph Clay Lynn. Saturday morning at eleven the Cotillion club will give a dansant. Climaxing the Thanksgiving dances will be the Cotillion Club formal Saturday night. Albert Peyton Bush, Jr., has been cho- sen leader and Howerton Gowen, his assistant. Carl Gill is in charge of the de- corations. Assisting him in pre- perations are Tia dozen “goats” from the fraternities. No dances are being given Thanksgiving day or until 9:00 P. M. Friday to allow students to visit home or nearby cities then attend the social affairs here.

Game A new feature of the home coming festivities this year will be the Buffet Supper which will be served in the dining hall. This will be open to all alumni and their wives as well as the faculty of the university. Thus far quite a few of the alumni ‘have signified their intention of returning for the occasion. Among those who are coming back are: M1'. and Mrs. Radford W. Alley, of New York City, Mr. C. T. Che nery and Joe Lykes also of New York City, Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Brown of Bridgeport, Conn., I‘-slr. and Mrs. Dan Owens, Doyles- ville, Ga., Mr. and Mrs. Walter I-lindry, City Point, Va., Dr. Wil- liani Allen Charlotte, N. C., Dr. J. M. Hutchinson Richmond, Va., Judge E. C. Caffrey, Newark, N. J., Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Cabell, Covington, Va., Dr. W. I. Claudy, Pittsburgh, Pa., and Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Sale of Welsh, West Vir- ginia. Many others from the sur- rounding towns of Staunton, Roa- noke, Lynchburg, and Clifton Forge are also planning to come back to help celebrate the event. Old Grads To Enter Classes Again Today Men who attended classes here when fathers of present students were in swaddling clothes will en- ter Washington and Lee classes again today. Mingling with a new genera- tion of students they will listen to their favorite professors of a quarter century ago lecture again. When class bell rings they will enter other classes to hear pro- fessors of a later generation lec- ture. Will they recall college days of the 90’s, as alumni accept Presi- dent Smith’s invitation to attend classes when they “come home” today, or will they find college has changed? A real college is waiting for the alumni today. They will at- tend classes once more—-have an “assembly” after classes—banquet in the Dining Hall——see the fight- ing Generals streak down the field, and end the day with a real college dance in Doremus Memor- ial gymnasium. Hygihrfeuofital ln Education Dr. Smith Says Compares Students to Mech- anicians; Bulletin Goes To Southern Schools Personal hygiene and physico- logy make up a most vital part of the modern curriculum, Pres- ident Henry Louis Smith, told young Americans in a Univer- sity bulletin prepared today for preparatory school students of the Southern states. President Smith likened the mo- dern student to an inexperienced driver who is about to start on and earth girdling trip and who knows nothing about machinery. Education ignores such necessary principles he characterized as dis- asterous. “Teachers drill you everyday,” President Smith wrote, “in the vocabulary and syntax of foreign languages. Others give you tho- rough courses in the climate and geography and natural products of the countries you will traverse on your long motor trip. A broad- ly trained expert delivers daily lectures on their history, politics, industries and social customs. Others give you lessons on the oceans, river-systems, and thr trade—routes of the great world through which you will travel. “But. alas!” the educator ex- claimed, “During the whole period of intensive training you’ve had no formal instruction in the art of driving. You have never learn- ed to oil or feed or repair an auto, or even driven a car alone on a crowded highway!” After scoring educators for the “fatal folly” of concentrating only on the scholarly side of the cur- riculum, President Smith warned the students that: “A single error or blunder may wreck your tour, and your car and yourself; may force you to spend those splendid touring years as an invalid in a hospital. It may end your life at any moment by some sudden breakdown which a better trained driver could have prevented.” In stressing the great respon- sibility which every student had to consider, President Smith said: “The one and only car of which you are the only driver is that marvelous combination of com- plex machinery called “Yourself.” No simple mechanism of dead steel and wood, but a divinely made organism of body and mind and personality and will power of nerves and joints and sinews, (continued on page 4) l. ll Generals’ Last Minute Rally Fails And Tech Wins 12-7 Peake Plays Important Part In V.

The ’Gators are pacing the field to a margin of 37 points, with the Ten- nessee Vols, their closest compe- titors. The games played Satur- day had no material influence on the standing of the first six teams, and the only noticeable changes were the advances of Virginia Poly and Georgia" Tech. Besides leading the race, Flor- ida and Tennessee are the only teams beyond the 200 mark. L. S. U. has tallied 176 points, and the rest of the teams follow in close order.

The score of 12 to 7. The terrific plunges of White and a brilliant air attack for the Generals just fell short of matching the runs of Peake, when a pass was grounded over the goal line in the V. P. I. scored in the second quarter when Owens car- ried the ball after a march down the field. Washington and Lee came back after the half and kept the ball continually in Tech territory. A pass, Eberhart to Jones, put the ball on the visitors’ 13 yard line as the period closed. White rip- ped the Maroon line for 5 suc- cessive times to carry it over. Fitzpatrick’s placement was good and the Generals were in the lead. Taking the kickoff, Peake drove through to midfield. He continu- ed to carry the ball and succeed- ed in driving the fighting Gen- erals back over the line for an- other touchdown. Hooper kicked off for V. P. I. to Lott who returned the ball to a dash around left end. A penalty his 27 yard line. Thibodeau clip- ped 29 yds on the first play with deprived W&L of a chance to chalk up another first down and Thibodeau punted to the Gobblers’ 20 yards. Three tries at the line failed to give the Techmen the distance, and Hoper punted to Lott who returned the ball 5 yards to his own 38 yard marker. White drove through center for 10 yards and first down. Three plays net- ted 9 yards and Thibodeau kick- ed to Peake_who fumbled. Lott recovered for the Generals on V. P. I’s 24 yard line. Two line plays and a pair of passes failed, and the ball went to V. P. I. Here Peake stepped in with the first of his brilliant runs——a 26 yard dash around left end. The Gen- erals defense stiffened and Hoop- er punted outside on W&L’s 17 yard line. The Generals chalked up two first downs, but Hooper put a crimp in the rally when he intercepted a pass on his own 38 yard line. With Peake and Owens carrying the ball the Techmen be- gan a march which ended with their securing a first down on the Generals 11 yard line as the quarter ended. Owens carried the ball over for a touchdown about two minutes Hooper’s kick was wide. W&L re- ceived and registered a first down before the Tech defense stiffened and Lott kicked outside on the Gobblers’ 32 yard line. Runs by Peake gave the Techmen a first down on their own 44 yard line. A pass, Hooper to Owens gave V. P. I. first down on the Generals 9 yd. line. Three plunges and a pass failed to carry it over. Lott kicked out to‘his own 40 yard line and the Gobblers started an- other assault. After making an- other first down, the Gobblers failed to gain and Hooper punted over the goal. W&L kicked again as the whistle ended the half. The Generals came back after the intermission with plenty of fight. White returned Hoopers kickoff to his own 40 yard line. Line plays failed, but Faulkner got off a beautiful kick which went outside on the Gobblers’ 3 yard line. Hooper punted on the first down and Eberhart return- ed the oval to Tech’s 35 yard marker. Two plays through the line failed, but Peake intercepted Eberhart’s pass. Washington and Lee’s line held. Hooper punted to midfield‘ and Eberhart returned it to Tech’s 41 yard line.

Hence, he occasionally fell asleep in the next morning’s classes. Naturally when his brother Mar- shall came out for football he was dubbed “Little Sleepy” Glenn.

There are but few games remaining for the majority of the teams, and the next two or three weeks should see a cessa- tion of football activities through- out the Southern Conference. Sev- eral of the more southerly teams have games until the second week in December, but teams in the Northern sector play no later than Thanksgiving Day. Three Washington and Lee op- ponents are undefeated. They are among the claimants for sectional honors. Tennessee, Florida and Princeton are in this class, but the Tigers have two tie games to mar an otherwise clean slate. Florida and Tennessee while un- defeated, are also leading in the number of points scored this sea- son, both teams having tallied well over the 200-mark. “Fly In Ointment” West Virginia’s defeat at the hands of Davis-Elkins is the “fly in the ointment” to the Moun- taineers championship hopes. Since this opening reverse, the Mountaineers have six straight victories. Pittsburg, Fordham, La- fayette and Oklahoma A. & M. have fallen before the crushing power of Mountaineer banks. The Lynchburg College Hornets are idle this weekend. They are taking their practice sessions lightly, hoping to keep at top form for the remaining state con- ference contests. The Kentucky Wildcats face the Flying Keydets. From past re- cords, it appears these teams should play to a standstill. V. M. I. has shown some power in the last few games, and the Kentucky gridders held the Vanderbilt Com- modores to a 14-7 victory last week at Nashville.The clash should develop into a four man battle between Barnes and Harner and Covington and Portwood. The Wildcat line is heavier than the Keydets’, .and the former’s backfield shapes up a little strong- with Norman Kerry Pauline Starke Marion Nixon NEW THEATRE Monday, Nov. 19th -flnnefgiichols’ just Mumlrn" r V with James Hall—Ruth Taylor—- Lila Lee Tuesday, Nov. 20th Wednesday, Nov. 21 On The Stage The Famous W. & L.

Cavaliers Meet Old Liners The Virginia Cavaliers face the Maryland Old Liners today at College Park. Both elevens have already been eliminated from the race for South Atlantic honors. The game should result in a close fight for advanced standing in the conference Northern sector. Maryland’s showing against Yale last Saturday, when they snatch- ed a 6-0 victory gives Byrd’s men a decided advantage. Contrary to opinions, Eli sent her first team out to battle the Southerners. It was the ability to take advantage of breaks, and the running of Snyder, that spelled defeat, for Yale. After their touchdown had been scored, the Old Liners fought grimly to protect their lead, and the whistle prevented a final Yale drive from culminating into a tally. Wahoo’s Fading Virginia’s star seems to be wan- ing, and Maryland bids fair to further extinguish the flame of Cavalier supremacy on the grid- iron. A feature battle of the day is the Tennessee-Vanderbilt go at Knoxville. Tennessee has a diffi- cult barriers to surmount.The Vols will find it necessary to defeat Armistead and company to put forth any claim to the Southern Conference title. The Tennessee championship is at stake. The Vols and Commodores both have im- pressive records. Tennessee holds decisions over Alabama, Ole Miss., Center, Carson-Newman, Wash- ington and Lee and Sewanee. The Commodores have suffered but one defeat, that at the hands of the Golden Tornado. Vander- bilt’s triumph over Colgate in their only intersectional game has added to their prestige. Again in this game it will be a battle of stellar backfield men.The forward walls are evenly matched, and the eleven that gets the jump in the early part of the game will no doubt be returned the victor. The combination of “Hack to Mack”, featuring McEver and Hackman, stellar backs, will meet foes equal of their steel in Schwartz and Ar- mistead. The Vols should win by a touchdown, provided the Com- modores aerial offense is held in check until the Vols can swing their big guns into action. Clemson at Jacksonville The ’Gators face Clemson at Jacksonville. Florida has been go- ing at top speed from the open- ing week, and they have unleash- ed a scoring drive that has swept everything before them. The ’Ga- tors are in the van of the South- ern Conference parade for scor- ing honors, averaging over fifty points a game. Last week’s game, when they trimmed the University of Georgia 26-6, was the lowest scoring done by the Florida team this year. In Brumbaugh, the Gators have a back who is a tie for fifth po- sition in individual Southern Con- ference scoring honors. It was thought Crabtree’s injury would prove to be a severe blow. to the ’Gators, but his absence has not had a detrimental effect on the Florida prospects. Crabtree has been able to play, but a few minutes in each game, but he is steadily improving and is expected to see regular ser- vice within the next week. Clem- son holds a 13-0 victory over V. M. I. and a 32-0 triumph over South Carolina Gamecocks. ’Gators Favored At the rate the ’Gators have been bowling their opponents over they should encounter little dif- ficulty in winning this fray. Clemson has a line that stands with the best in the conference, and they may play havoc with the Florida offense. North Carolina State engages in a contest to determine the Tar Heel state championship. They face Duke today. The Wolfpack has won one and tied one in the state loop, and with the defeat of Duke they will have an excellent claim to the title. The Wolfpack had a tough time ekeing out a 14-7 victory over the Davidson team last week. They may fall by the wayside to- day. Duke’s ambitious schedule, in an effort to bask in the limelight of national football prominence, has proved their undoing. They have been defeated by the major- ity of teams. The Wolfpack is slowly recov- ering from the ill-effects of the General game, and Tebell may realize his dream that “the Wolf- pack is a power to be reckoned with on Southern gridirons.” Past performances favor Duke, but the Wolfpack has been under a handi- ’ cap. They are looked to for a vic- tory, by a touchdown margin. Techme; Defeat Washington and Lee (continued from page 1 hart clipped off 12 around right end, but the Tech defense tight- ened and Faulkner booted over the goal. Hooper aagin booted out to Eberhart. W&L’s running attack failed and Faulkner kicked to Peake on V. P. I.’s 30 yard line. W&L started its scoring drive after another kick had given W&L the ball on Tech’s 40 yard line. Eberhart tossed a pass to Jone which was good for 31 yards and first down on the 13 yard line. White made 7 yards through cen- ter as the quarter ended. White carried the ball twice to register the Generals’ touchdown. Captain Fitzpartick kicked goal. Score: W&L 7; V. P. I. 6. Fitz- patrick kicked off to Peake who made a beautiful return to mid- field. With Peake carrying the ball on almost every play, Tech made first down on the Generals’ 40 yard strip. On a fake pass, Peake dashed around end for an- other first down. Peake and Owens alternated in carrying the oval on a smashing drive which terminated when Owens carried it over. Hooper’s kick again failed. Score W&L 7; V. P. I. 12. Wash- ington and Lee made a desperate comeback and completed a series of passes which gave the Generals a first down on Tech’s 17 yd. line. Hopes of winning went up in smoke as Jacob’s pass was grounded over the goal. LINEUP Pos LE V.P.I Gray Bailey (c) W & L Day Fitzpatrick (c) LT Taylor LG Snodgrass, C Groop, Hen.

After seeing the Blue and White eke out a victory over the Old Liners, Coach Forrest Flet- cher, head of athletics, said that the 1928 team was one of the fin- est frosh elevens to represent this University. Excepting the pre-season in- juries of Martin, former Balti- more Poly star, and Cross, ex- Central High back, the team was devoid of serious additions to its hospital list. Practically the same eleven started every fray and only gave way to the substitutes when Coach E. P. Davis saw that his charges had the contest safe- ly tucked away. ___:o_j_._ ROCKNE DAMNS , FOOTBALL BETS (continued from page 1 through the third quarter. In this last quarter Notre Dame pulled a great comeback. As a result, Notre Dame won thirteen to ten. I whistled gayly and allowed the managers an extra dollar for din- ner. That’s how good I felt. But lo, I found our townspeople and alumni who had bet on the game by twenty-seven points—were as ——and they had all bet we’d win sore as a boiled owl at me. No one has any objection to friendly wagers made just in fun but the _ big money wager is the chap I have in mind. Big money gam- blers will ruin college football if they are not stopped. I have a thi'ck hide for this species of poor sport and the only regret I have is that they didn't lose more. The man who bets not only gets no fun out of it but is’ a hindrance to the game as a clean sport and he is lacking in a sense of humor, for every time he loses a bet he wants to have the coach fired. “In fact, the biggest blot on, the game is the alumni without a sense of humor and the fellow who insists on betting big money. Eliminate both of these mutants and everybody connected with football will have a lot more fun.” J A C K S O N ’ S The Barber Shop With a Conscience Opposite New Theatre NELSON STREET Nuff Said 1863 1927 Hotchkiss - Aviation Chief Takes Steps To Make Air Safe (continued from page 1 several planes. European stu- dents, however, surpass the Am- ericans in flying. One of the speakers at the conference cited a meeting in the Rhone River sec- tion last August where 400 planes were entered. Eight hundred pi- lots took part, ninety per cent of which were college men. College men won all of the prizes. The popularity of flying has added a new prohibition to the list of “thou shalt nets” of the Wellesly college handbook. The dean’s office issued the edict that, “no student while under the juris- diction of the college may ride in an aeroplane unless permission has been granted from the dean’s office and the written consent of her parents secured.” The problem of chaperonage has not yet been settled, and is taxing the ingenuity of many a dean of women. _?0_:___ RARE PHAMPLET IS DISCOVERED (continued from page 1 and there were no grounds to his prejudices.” Future Punishment Discussed Several other pamphlets were brought to light from the book pile. Among them a “Discourse Upon the Duration of Future Punishment,” written by the Rev. Ruffner, the professor of lan- guages in Washington College and later president of the institution. An address made to the cadets by Francis H. Smith, superintendent of the Virginia Military Institu- te, on Lt. General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson shortly after the latter’s death in 1863, and an essay written in 1836 by the Rev. George A. Baxter of Lexington on “The Abolition of Slavery” was also uncovered.
