A mighty aggregation in weight and aggressiveness opposes the Generals.'_ The average weight of the Varsity men is 174 pounds. From tackle to tackle, Georgetown averages 187. The backfield boasts of a mark of 161. In every respect, Washington and Lee is outweighed by several pounds. In matter of experience, the Gen- erals excel.

Coach W. B. Elcock viewed the Washington eleven in action Saturday, while As sistant Coach Bill Raftery witnessed the Navy-Georgetown clash in Annap- olis, They feel they have had ample time to get a line on what George- town has in players and maneuvers. Both agree that Georgetown is strong, but neither is pessimistic about the outlook. Georgetown, they feel, will out weigh the Gen- erals, but will not possess the speed, especially in thebackfield. However, Coach Raftery declares the Washing- ton backfield is far from slow. ‘»Vh1le Elcock av 1E"l]f‘d George- town, the Blue and G-ray had several, viewing the W. and L.—Roanoke col-' lege encounter. A hectic fight is anticipated in Richmond. Realizing the importance of a Vic-‘ tory over Georgetown in Richmond‘ the student body will give voice to ts enthusiasm in a rousing send off to the team Thursday night. The followers of the Generals are in, hearty sympathy with Coach Elcockl and the team and wish to evidencel their appreciation of the hard work l of both coaches and players. The tentative program is to have§ the meeting opened \vith short, snap-1 py talks by ex Captain Moomaw, Coach Elcock, Assistant Coach Raff tery,Captain Donahue and others, out-l lining the situation of the team and the importance of giving it good strong Supp:)['t. "“'The“'ind will take ;’ advantage of the opportunity to make ; its second appearance in public, and promises a full repertoire of lively tunes. The speaking completed, the band will lead off in the “Swing", afterl which a short rooting practice is toi beheld. All the old yells will bel run through two or three tim as until they can be given with the right amount of “pep”, and it is hoped that Cheer leader Davis may have a fwe new ones to announce. The: freshmen will be expected to be well up on the yells, and to Join in on them vigorously, with possibilities of nocturnal punishment in any cases of failure to do so. It is the plan of the committee to} have the entire student body at the’ station Friday morning to give the team a good send off. Quite a number of people from‘ Salem and Roanoke, Va., motored up to see the W. and L.-Roanoke game ,years. RING-TUM PHI HAVE MANY NEW FEATURES First Issue Will Appear Late in October ~Bear is Editor With several new features, the Southern Collegian will make its initial appearance this year during the latter part of October.

Brown and William Lamont, short story editors; W. M. Brown, Y. M. C. A. news editor; Ralph Ferrell, exchange editor, and N. B. Adams poetry and essay editor.

The Miscellaneous department, edited by W. M. Brown, will see the addition of humorous matter to the usually staid literary columns of the quarter- ly. The magazine promises to possess a snap that has been lacking in past Paul Derrickson is manager of the publication and feels that the students should support the Collegian. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Owing to the meeting in the chapel tomorrow night, at which “Ted” Mercer and Tom Farmer will speak for the last time before leav- ing W. and L., there will be no Y. M. C. A. meeting tonight. On last Tuesday night the first student meeting of the school year was held in the chapel atr‘§~0_. The subject: “The College Man’s Duty,” was ably and enthusiastically presented by all the speakers.

A recent count ascxrtained that the total number of students in school is 486. Of this number 238 gave in the statement that they either wholly or partially met their own expeises, 212 bore no part of their epxenses and thirty eight failed to answer the question. Of the 238 who receive aid, 105 are meeting all of their personal ex- penses, fifty one of this number be- ing in the law school and lifty-four in the academic. Of the 133 who are paying part of their expenses forty nine are enrolled as lawyers and eighty four are academic stu- dents Thirty eight law students and 174 academic students are receiv- ing all of their expenses from sources other than themselves, a total to which probably most of the thirty eight who failed to answer the question should be added. While the list of those meeting their own expenses, of course, con- tains a good number who are paying their wav from their personal in- comes from estates,prohably the ma- jority are men who are being sup- ington and Lee their curriculum duties. The total number that this search reveals only adds more to Washington and Lee’s claim of being essentially a de-mo—1 cratic institution in every respect. Alumni Notes i ii Jesse E.

That such action would be taken by the faculty was, neither fcrecast nor intimiated. While the ruling is not drastic, it contains a feature that will hardly strike a responsive chord among the students. l Attendance to the University as- semblies was supposed to be compul- sory last year, but the ruling was not strictly enforced and a number of students failed to attend or ent excuses for having been absent. Feeling that such action should not be counternanced, the faculty adopt- ed the resolution without having ap- pealed to the students for support or to obtain their views on the matter. pre- The catalog, issued this year, does not contain any intimation that ab- is punishable by fine or disbarment from classes. sence from chapel In- asmuch as the students were never consulted in the matter, it would seem that im undue advantage was taken of them.
