Sigma Delta Chi

National Journalism Frater-
nity Accepts Petition of
Local Club

PROFESSOR MAPEL
ACTS AS DELEGATE

Succeeds in Getting a Unan-
imous Vote of Conven-
tion for Charter

The Lee Blue Pencil club of
Washington and Lee was yester-
day unanimously granted a char-
ter in Sigma Delta Chi, National
professional journalistic frater-
nity, at the fraternity’s conven-
tion at Northwestern University,
Evanston, Ill., according to a tel-
gram received here by Mr. Ellard
from Prof. William L. Mapel, who
represented the petitioning club.

“Sigma Delta Chi is the strong-
est professional journalistic fra-
ternity in the world,” Mr. Ellard,

who heads the journalism school ‘

here, said last night.

Washington and Lee will get
the third chapter of the fraternity
in the South. The only southern
chapters are at the universities
of Texas and Louisiana.

Sigma Delta Chi has thirty-six
chapters with a total of 3,000 stu-
dent and alumni members scatter-
ed among the largest journalism
schools of the country. It num-
bers among its alumni some of the
leading newspapermen of the
country .

The Lee Blue Pencil club, whose
members will now enter Sigma
Delta Chi, is an honorary journa-
listic organization with a member
ship of twenty-three students who
have shown ability in publication
and journalistic work.

Among its members are in-
cluded the Ring-tum Phi editors,
ten of the editorial staff, and
eight of the reporters. Eight
members of the publicity staff,
seven of the staff of the Calyx,
and four men on the editorial
staff of the Southern Collegian
are also in the club.

Members of the club published
early this fall to present to the
three issues of the Ring-tum Phi
Sigma Delta Chi convention in
an effort to get a local chapter.‘

Last week the club decided the
best way to get the fraternity
chapter was to send a man to
Chicago to personally lobby for
it. Mr. Mapel was selected
and he left for Chicago Saturday.
He got a Washington and Lee
chapter on the second day, Tues-
day, of the convention.

Mr. Mapel, not being a member
of the organization, was pledged
and initiated before the conven-
tion according to the telegram
received from him last night.

Prof. Roscoe B. Ellard, head
of the Lee Journalism School,
wired the following- telegram to
the convention as soon as word
ccame that the Washington and
Lee chapter had been accepted.
National Convention,

Sigma Delta Chi
Care of National President,
Northwestern University.

Please let me in behalf of the
Lee Blue Pencil Club of Wash-
ington and Lee express the sin-
cere gratitude of .our group for
the distinct honor of membership
in Sigma Delta Chi and for the
signal privilege to work in this
all-Southern university under the_
standards of the fraternity and
to send practical idealists of
scholarship, vision, and character
into the profession of Journalism.

pected To Welcome Or-

“That man can play music that
would make Henry Ford forget
his fiddlers and start to shag;
that would make Eve don an
evening grown _and trip the light
fantastic”—thus a Washington
and Lee student describes Kay
Kyser’s music after hearing him
play here last Easter. ,

Kyser, who has been engaged
to play for the Thanksgiving
set of dances, formed his now fa-
mous orchestra while a student at
the University of North Carolina.
The original aggregation started
out as a local band, playing for
the dances at the University. Then
came engagements at other col-
leges.

After completing his work at

the University, Kay and his band
started on a tour of the South,
playing at such schools as .\the
University of Virginia, Virginia
Military, Washington and Lee, and
Sewanee. His popularity increas-
ed because of his peppy organi-
zation, his hot tunes, and perfect
dance rhythm.

played at “The Cameo,” a popu-
lar resort in Cincinnati, Ohio. One
of the features of his entertain-
ment was “C.o.l.lege Night” which
was held every Friday for the
amusement of students.

Kyser is reported to have a
repertoire of good specialties that
promise to rival the success of
those given last year. One of the
greatest hits last Easter was “The

Play Last Game

Fitzpatrick, _’GrPoop, White,
Seligman, Lott and Sproul
Wind Up Careers

When Washington and Lee lines
up against Maryland in Griffith
stadium this Saturday it will be
the third and last time that se-
ven members of the 1928 Gener-
als face the Old Liners. These men
are Captain Fitzpatrick, Heinie
Groop, Gene White, Billy Lott,
Mason Sproul and Mike Seligman.

In 1926 on Wilson field the Gen-
erals were victorious 3 to'O when
“Ty” Rauber kicked a field goal
in the last two minutes of play.
Last year at College Park the
Old Liners were vanquished 13 to
I, and these men are determined
in their last appearance againsi
Maryland to make it their third
straight victory of Curley Byrd’s
eleven.

Fitzpatrick, Groop, White, Lott
and Sproul were all members of
the 1925 Freshman eleven which
went through the season undefeat-
ed. During the same season they
saw the 1925 Generals whip the
Old Liners at College Park to the
tune of 7 to O.

This is the third successive sea-
son that the quartet of Fitzpat-

Dance Given By
Monogram Club
Called Success

Football was forgotten in the
Doremus gymnasium Saturday
night, when the V. P. I. Varsity
and Freshman football teams
were the guests of the Washing-
ton and Lee Monogram Club, at
the informal.

Approximately 175 girls from
Sweet Briar, Hollins, and various
“Home towns” attracted 450 stu-
dents to the dance, and were re-
sponsible for making it one of
the best informals for some time.

The Southern Collegians were
at their peak of perfection, and
produced a brand of music that
has seldom been bettered on this
dance floor. Starting at 9 o’-
clock, jazz of all kinds, frequent-
ly interspersed with the “Swing,”
was poured out in a steady stream
until the last strains of “Home-
Sweet Home” were played at a
few minutes before midnight.

According to George Lanier,
who managed the dance, the in-
formal was a much of a financial
success as it was socially, the
promoters coming out well ahead
of all expenses. Lanier also stat-
ed that he wished to thank the
student body, in behalf of the
Monogram Club, for their coop--
eration in making the dance the
success that it was.

60 Bandmen to Make Trip to
Washington; Students
Get Low Price

“The Fighting Generals” will
journey to the Capitol city for
their last game in the east this
year to play the University of
Maryland gridsters in the Amer-
ican League ball park, Saturday,
November 24.

The team will leave early Fri-
day afternoon via bus to Staunton
where they will catch a Washing-
ton train. Reservations have been
made for the team at the Lee
House, Canal street, and the
squad will stay there until Sun-
day afternoon, stated Capt. Dick
Smith, athletic director.

T-he W. & L. band, sixty strong
under the direction of Hank Slan-
ker, will accompany the team on
their northern invasion. Although
the means of transportation has
not yet been fully worked out,
the finances to sponsor such a
trip have been raised and it is a
certainty that the band will make
the trip, states Capt. Dick Smith.

“Students making the trip fro-n1
Lexington, will be admitted to
the game for one dollar,” added
Capt. Dick, “and it is hoped that
as many as can possibly arrange
will make the trip, to make a
good showing for the school, and
spur the team on,” he concluded.

Columbia, S. C.——A resolution of
warning against “an exaggerated
emphasis that is being given to
football” in State schools and
colleges was adopted by the State
Board of Education here last Fri-
day.

Little Change Is
Shown in Grades
Over Last Year

Data Shows Fewer Honor
Men and Fewer Auto-
matics Here

LARGER NUMBER
TAKES MID-TERMS
910 As Against 874 Take
Mid-Semester
Exams

Grades at the mid-semester this
year are just about the same as
those of last year, data at the
registrar's office shows. _Although
there are fewer men on the honor
roll this year, there are also few-
er automatics this year.

Last year ther were 874 stu-
dents who took mid-semester ex-
aminations. Twenty-five of these
were on the honor roll. Eight of
these honor roll students were
freshmen. Fifty-seven out of the
874 were automatics, students who
failed in over nine hours of their
work. Thirty one ‘of the automa-
tics were freshmen.

This year 910 students took the
mid-semester examinations. Twen-
ty-one of these are on the honor
roll, but only two of them are
freshmen. Fifty-one students
failed in over nine hours of their
work. Twenty-six of them were
freshmen.

As both of the numbers of stu-
dents on the honor roll and the
number of automatics has decreas-
ed this year this makes the gen-
eral standing of the student body
practically the same as that of
last year. However, the number
of freshmen on the honor roll has
decreased 75 per cent. While the
standing of the student body as
a whole is almost the same as
that of last year, the standing of
the freshman class has somewhat
decreased.

Faced Saturday
For Fifth Time

Curly Byrd’s Team Has Yet
To Win From Washing-
ton and Lee

SNYDER IS STAR
FOR GOLD AND BLACK

Two Fullbacks, Snyder and
White to Lock Horns
in Game Sat.
By Mike Leibowitz

The Washington and Lee Gen-
erals face the University of Mary-
land Saturday at Washington for
the fifth time in the history of
their athletic relations.

The record of the meeting be-
tween the two schools is unique
in that the Old Liners have yet
to win from the Blue and White.
Previous to their first meeting in
1924 at College Park, the Generals
had an annual meeting with Wes-
tern Maryland. A home and home
game arrangement prevailed with
varied success, but in the fall of
1924 W. & L. journeyed to Col-
lege Park, where the Generals
downed the Old Liners, 19-7.

The game was featured by the
success of the Wilson-Palmer
passing combination, and the hard
smashes of “Ty” Rauber, ripping
the Maryland line to shreds. The
lone Maryland score came after
one of Rauber’s punts had been
blocked behind the goal line. The
Maryland team was given the
edge in pre-game dope, but the
superb defense of Hawkins, Thom-
as and Budnick prevented the Old
Liners from pushing over a touch-
down.

In 1925, the Old Liners were
again the favorites to win, and in
the first three quarters of the
game, it appeared that predic-
tions would be borne out. In the
early minutes of the game, Mary-
land went into the lead 3-0, when
a placement kick from the 27-yard
line sailed over the bar. The
Washington and Lee attack fail-
ed to click until the closing min-
utes of play, and then by a ser-
ies of passes, and off-tackle
slants, the Generals rushed over
the winning score. Shortly after
the game ended, 7-3.

On the coldest day of the sea-
son in 1926, Washington and Lee
won from the Marylanders, 3 to
0. A field goal by “Ty” Rauber
in the last five minutes of play
was the margin of victory. Al-
though the ball was carried down
the field by a fierce Blue and
White offensive, seven times
threatening a touchdown, the
Maryland team kept their goal
line uncrossed.

Last year the Old Liners were“
once more given the edge, but
W. & L. came through to win,
13-6. Gene White proved to be
the hero of the game, tallying
both touchdowns, after his vicious
Plunging had demoralized the
team play of the Maryland for-—
Ward wall. Tips and Fitzpatrick‘
played an excellent brand of foot-»
ball for the Generals, and Tom-~
my Stearns in his last appear.-
ance in his home state earned fa-
vorable mention for his work.

This Year, the record of Mary-
land is far more impressive than
that of the Generals. The Old
Liners after suffering a series

NEVER SAY DIE SPIRIT

They say Washington and Lee had a
great spirit.

They say Washington and Lee lost her
great spirit. They say no school spirit that
is lost can be regained without a champion-
ship team. They said Washington and Lee
was no exception.

But Washington and Lee is an exception.
Washington and Lee has a wonderful spirit,
a fighting football team, but no champion-
ship claimant. It has taken a lean year to
show fickle fans just what a wonderful
spirit we have. It has been proved that it
does not take consecutive victories to have
spirit.

Spirit here this year has been broadcast
over Dixie, the Generals will not be the con-
ference winner, but they will go down in
history as the greatest fighting eleven in
the South, backed by a great fighting stu-
dent body.

When odds have been over-whelmirfily
against the Blue and White, the team has
gone on the field fighting, fighting to the
last amid the lust of cheers from her stu-
dent supporters. Spirit has been at its

and V. P. I. game. Sudents have been
in the stands for every game, showing true
backing to their team. Everyone realizes
that the team is giving its best, win or
lose. '

Much credit for the spirit on the Wash-
ington and Lee campus can be attributed to
Graham Morison and his four assistant-
cheer—leaders and to our sixty piece band.
They have worked long and laboriously for
our University.

Saturday the Generals meet Maryland
in Griffith stadium, Washington, D. o. The
team will go on the field fighting just as
hard as it has in the past eight games. The
Generals will be out to win. Students will be
there to cheer; the band, to play.

The team leaves Friday night. Let’s
have a rally . . . let’s show the Fighting
Generals that we are proud of them . . . .
that we are proud of their clean, hard foot-
ball. . . . that we are still back of them,
win or‘ lose.

AN ADDITiON HERE

Senior Day——an addition to the calendar
of Washington and Lee. November 17th,
though adding another defeat to our foot-
ball history, has also placed a date upon
our list of celebrations. The first Senior Day
of its history is an accomplished fact.

Senior, by what mark may one know

Mr. Senior Lawyer, reference is not made

ed that. This editorial refers to the student
who his year leaves with a diploma under
his arm. Hodv few are the things in this
university which will have marked him as
a young man about to enter upon his ca-
reer.

His four years in college will have ended
For four years he will have rooted for the
Blue and White team, lived as a student of
Washington and Lee, and studied for his di-
ploma. He leaves for—we know not what.

He will be taking one of the important
steps of his life. He will have gotten his
training and must go out to apply it.,He
looks forward to his moment of graduation,
but he is sorry when it’s gone. He looks
back at his alma mater and loves it. His
alma mater looks at him and places his
name on a list for its files. It has harbor-
ed him for four years. His first year, hef
was marked as a freshman. During the re-,‘

junior, or perhaps a senior. No one knew
and no one cared.

He will have had practically no privi-
leges, almost nothing except his desire for
a diploma to make him strive to reach his
senior year. Other schools in some way
mark their seniors to make known their
scholastic achievement. The Washington and
Lee senior is a sophomore for three years.
He leaves, no doubt, with a guilty little
feeling of having marked time for three
years. He probably adds on his fingers,
“One, two, three, four—yes, I’m a senior;
I’ve been here four years.”

Senior, last Saturday was your day.
You deserved it——as will your successors.

EARLY COURAGE VS. LATE REGRET

In spite of the best efforts of the doctors
it is still difficult for the average person to
realize that it is cheaper and easier to stay
well than it is to get well. A lot of people
think that it is brave to believe that the
pain. that bothers them will wear ofi with-
out their doing anything about it. Some
have a fear complex and won’t go to the
doctor because he might find something
the matter with them. There is neither
logic nor common sense in either of these
attitudes. For example, one of the most
insidious diseases, one that creeps upon its
victims with almost no pain and but little
warning, is tuberculosis. Loss of weight

ON CLASS RUSHES

Miles Noah, freshman at Colorado State

sophomore-freshman class rush a.kick in

Such tragedies have happened in col-

a Texas school was killed in_ a fraternity

It was at V. P. I., and a Montgomery coun-
ty jury sentenced one man to a year in the
pententiary, and gave others six months
in jail. '
There is no hazing at Washngton and
Lee. For years, there has been no class
rushes. When the big pushball was acci-

HANKY-PANKY AND OHER

It’s funny about audiences. They
really make a show. And its safe
to judge the merit of any show
by the point of the chair in which
each individual sits. If the hero
is pucilanimous and insipid. you’ll
find each and every onlooker sit-
ting away back in his seat, but
slumped into a letter “S”-—-but
when things liven up, when an
Englishman explains that hanky-
panky has been going on in state-
room 76, or when the phantom
rider winds “weather-beaten and
sinewy hands’ about the throat of
the “b-moustached” villain, the
letter “S” straightens into a rigid
“I” and the audience slides for-
ward to the very front edge of
its seat.

he raised a tumultous cry for
mercy and turned to view his Ne-

FOOTBALL SIGNALS
CALLED IN SPANISH

By calling the signals in Span-
ish, the football players at Trin-
ity University of Texas believe
they have found a way to outwit
opponents without using the hud-
dle system.

The team lines up and the

quarterback calls out:
“Signals! Viente, dos,
comprendes, ustedes-”

The ball is snapped and an off-
tackle play is made.

The drawback to this system is
the possibility that the opponents
are also students of Spanish.‘

Pipe Tobacco

San Francisco, Cal.
Larus & Bro. Co.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:

Since I first started to smoke, I
have always smoked cigarettes.

One day SHE said to me “Ed,
dear, why don’t you smoke a pipe. I
think those long straight—stemmed
pipes are so manly-looking.”

So, naturally, I had to buy a long-
stemmed pipe and a can of well, we’ll
call it “Blulcs Mixture tobacco.” Im-
mediately with a certain feeling of
pride in my new pipe, I “lighted up”
and proceeded to have my tongue bit-
ten. I tried almost every brand I had
ever heard 0', but none satisfied me.

Sadly, I had to confess to HER that
as a pipe smoker I was a good die-
titian. '

“Did you try Edgeworth?” she
asked. “That is what dad smokes,
and he’s always smoked a pipe.”

So I was forced to try Edgeworth,
and all that I can say is that if every
fellow that has tried to accustom him-
self to a pipe, started with Edgeworth,
there would be very few that would go
back to cigarettes.

Yours sincerely,
Ed Maher

Young developed such threats

By 18 to 6 Score

Lexington, Ky., Nov. 1’7—Abil-

Coach Cammage’s team took
the offensive at the start of the

The Cadets came back strong in
the fourth, scoring one touchdown
and threatenng on several oc-
casions. V. M. I.’s brilliant for-
ward passing netted 142 yards,
with 14 out of 24 attempts com-

and penalties had put the ball
in scoring position. In the second
‘period Glib and Covington went
through wide holes in their op-

Famous Coach
at Illinois Says
Football Easier

Bob Zuppke Says 1892 Team
Once Played Six Games
In Eight Days

“Was the old game harder on
the players?” asks Bob Zuppke of
Illinois in his article, “How Hard
Is Football? appearing in the
December College Humor. “From
everything I have heard about it
from old-time coaches and play-
ers, there is no doubt but that
it was. Can you imagine a foot-

ball team of today packing up its
equipment and gayly starting off
on a trip to play six games in
eight days? It hardly seems pos-
sible that this ever could have
happened, yet back in 1892 Illi-
nois’\”squad actually played this
schedule. This was not a steady
diet, but I mention it to show
that they did play longer, more
arduous schedules in the olden
days. Today the number of games

played during a season is limited
to eight, with rare exceptions.

“Football is not as hard to-
day because the coaches have more
experience than their predecessors
‘A coach first of all, is a peda-
gogue. He is a good coach because
he has the ability to judge the
amount of work and rest his
players require, rather than be-
cause he is an adept in devising
plays and/drilling his players in
the fundamentals of the game. He.
knows better than to let his play-
ers batter each other into insensi-
bility; his goal is not to develop
idiots. He knows that all of the
energy of his players must not
be used up by muscle, that some
must be left for the brain. Foot-
ball today is easier on the play-
ers; the practice hours are short-
er, and shorter hours reduce the
possibility of mental and physical
fatigue. The rest periods are more
frequent.

Some player may squawk
against the dullness and the hard-
ships of football practice because
his vanity has been hurt by his
failure to do well in the sport, or
perhaps he has played on a los-
ing team. There is always drud-
gery, if we must use the term, in
preparing yourself to play any
game. Nothing in life is gained
which is worth while without hard
work and a certain amount of
sacrifice. Football will always be
too hard for some boys who have
been reared in a soft, pampered
environment, with plenty of mon-
ey to spend and cars to drive,
which assure them of feminine
company. Golf is more likely to
appeal to this class than foot-
ball. Have you taken note of the
names which are bobbing up in
the line-ups? The —Raskowskis,
the Nowacks, the Truskowskis?
This simply means that these
first generation descendents of
the newer immigration come from
rugged stock and less enervating
homes where existence is more of
a struggle, where the coonskin
coat and its implications are as
far away as Mars.

“Don’t think of football as re-
creation or exercise,” Zuppke
continues. “It is only the old who
talk about such things. In foot-
ball youth finds the safety valve
for his spirit. Football is more
than a game; it is not a physical
expression, although it is express-
ed physically. It is the symbol of
sportsmanship, and it is viril
drama.”

Whether the president will

V. M. I. and V. P. I. Promise
Unusually Good Game
This Year

Having played two hard South-
ern Conference games on succes-
sive week-ends the members of
the V. M. I. Flying Squadron wel-
come the period of 12 days that
remains before the Thanksgiving
Day clash with V. P. I. at Roa-
noke. After a lay—off of a day or
so, however, the Cadets will be
ready to buckle down to work for
the most important game on the
schedule.

Capt. Ab Barnes and his mates
realize the heavy assignment they
have drawn this year facing Frank
Peake and the rest of the‘ Pony
Express, but they have not for-
gotten the mighty comeback made
by the Flying ‘Squadron of last
season to overcome Tech’s lead
and down a team rated at least
two touchdowns the stronger ma-
chine.

The Gobblers have an excellent
record to point to this season,
whereas that of the Cadets is de-
cidedly spotty. Nothing would
hurt the grid standing of the Gob-
blers more than a; defeat at the
hands of the Cadets, and, convers-
ely, a victory for V. M. I. would
unquestionably make V. M. I’s sea-
son a success. In addition, it would
make the Flying Squadron the
champion of the big four. a lofty
position that has not been occu-
pied by a Cadet eleven since the;
days of Windy White and Snail’
Caldwell.

In the time left before the cadet
corps of Virginia’s military col-
leges face each other across Ma-
her Field, while their teams are
battling for the twenty-seventh
time since¢1894, Coaches Raftery
and Hess hope to put their
charges in the unbeatable frame
of mind that was responsible for
last year’s unexpected victory.

Old injuries will have time to
heal, new plays will be rehearsed
Roy Dunn, promising line plung-
er, will be off the crippled list,
and the Cadets will be primed to
play their best game of the sea-‘'
son against their rivals from
Blacksburg.

1932 Basketball Men Have
Good Record to Keep
Here

Candidates for the
basketball team will beginrcourt

freshman
practice im-
mediately after the Thanksgiving
holidays, according to Coach E.
P. Davis.‘

It is known that the majority

in the gymnasium

of yearling aspirants are already
practicing and playing in the in-
tramural basketball series, and it

is Coach Davis’ intention to as-
semble his tryouts as soon as the
league team winner is determined.
With the football season complet-
ed and the track squad disband-
ed until after the Christmas re-
cess, a large number of new men
are expected to be in uniform
when the call is sounded.

The court team will be striving
to uphold the record set by the
1927 combination when Washing-
ton and Lee frosh went undefeat-
ed during the entire season and
claimed victories over such for-
midable quints as Virginia frosh,
Maryland cubs, V. P. I. frosh and
Devitt Prep.

Gilbert stated though that he felt
sure that organization would be
able to weather the increased fin-
ancial strain from the interest al-
ready exhibited in the forthcom-
ing comedy. He further stated
that the management would be
able to judge chiefly from the ad-
vance sales. “That is one reason
why the sale of tickets in advance
is so important and must be em-
phasized,” he concluded.

tracted the old graduates. This
was served in the alumni build-
ing and was attended by more
than 50 guests. The one feature
of this year’s homecoming was
the supper held in the University
Dining Hall. The feature of the
evening was a humorous lecture
by Dr. Durnburgh, who was pre-
sented as a masked native of Al-
sace-Lorraine. Dr. Durnliurgh
appropriately costumed, was led
into the mm by Dean Campbell
and was formally introduced as
Professor of Necromancy at the
University of Pittsburg. He sent
the audience into convulsions of
laughter in his talk on “The Value
of a University Education.” The
guests were ignorant of his iden-
tity until after paying a glorious
tribute to W. & L., he removed
his mask and revealed himself to
be Colonel R. C. Stokes ’05 of
Covington, Va. Other features
were ‘impersonations by J. R.
Caskie ’06 and songs by Dan
Owen. The gathering closed when
the alumni grouped around the
piano and sang W. & L. songs.
These were led by J. R. Caskie
accompanied by Miss Emily Pen-
ick and L. T. Brown.

P. I., turned and defeated Yale
and Virginia. The running of Sny-
der, Maryland full, was the con-
tributing force to both these vic-
tories, and when White and Sny-
der lock horns Saturday, an in-
teresting battle will ensue;

The game this year will be play-

located in Washington proper. The
management at Maryland has de-
cided that the game has sufficient
drawing power to warrant its re-
moval from College Park to the
home of the Washington Sena-
tors of the American League.

The Washington and Lee band,
seventy-five strong, will accom-
pany the team to Washington.
Under the direction of Hank Slan-
ker, of Washington, D. C., the W.
& L. bandsmen will perform at
the halves. Last year they were
praised for their performance at
the game and the Washington
Evening Star called them “the
finest band in the South.”

Tickets for the game have al-
ready been placed on sale and
may be secured at The Corner. A
whole side of the field has been
reserved for Washington and Lee,
and it is expected that the nu-
merous alumni in Washington and
vicinity will reserve a number of
seats for their parties.

SPROUL

Sproul will also play his last
-game on Thanksgiving. He will
defend one of‘ the flanks against
Maryland Saturday.

each season except during 1926
when he played quarter. For four
successive seasons Lott has been
