NUMBERT18 T TROUBADOURS PRESENT SHOW TODAY W E E K “Easy Come, Easy Go” Will Given November 26 At New Theatre. Be THAMES DIRECTS S H O W : Will Be First Appearance Of Show Given By An Amateur Cast. Staging their first performance of a new show that promises to be a real thriller and a commendable work of dramatic art, the Trouba- dours of Washington and Lee will present “Easy Come, Easy G0” at the New Theatre on Saturday after- noon, November 26, at 2:45 o’clock sharp. This performance will mark the, first time tliat Owen Davis’ latest‘ Broadway success has been staged by a non-professional cast. The play, which is a three act farce of the truest nature, left New York last spring. It was extremely dif- ficult to secure, and President T. B. Thames and Manager T. G. Gibson worked hard to get it. The play calls for eleven male and five female actors, all of which parts will be taken by Washington and Lee men. The Troubadours, who have become well known throughout the South for their female imper- sonations, will find no trouble in filling this bill calling for female actors. The three acts of the play are ar- ranged as follows in regard to set- tings: ACT I Scene One: In the smoker of a Pullman on a train enroute to New York. Scene Two: In the lounge room of Dr. Jasper’s health farm that night. ACT II Scene One: Same setting. Next morning. ACT III Scene One: Courtyard of Dr. Jasper’s health farm.

The Ring-tum Phi meeting is called for 7:15 and the Calyx gath- ering for 7:30, and both will be held in Newcomb Hall, the announcement added. Several important matters will be brought up at each meeting, and it is imperative that all members, both staff men and others, be present. —————0 Thibodeau Elected As ‘Captain of Freshmen At the meeting of the Freshman eleven this week Morton Thibodeau was elected captain of the 1927 Little Generals. He has been one of the most consistent ground gain- ers in the backfield, and his work against all the Frosh opponents has been outstanding. The Little Generals have enjoyed a most successful season, suffering defeat only at the hands of the V._ P. I. “Rats” in the first game of the schedule. Victories were scored over Greenbriar, Virginia Frosh, S. M. A., and Apprentice School at Newport News, and their showing against V. P. I. was ex- cellent considering the fact that the “Little Gobblers” have acquired the championship of the state. Captain Dick Smith Issues Call For Quint Candidates For Coming Season Captain Dick Smith’ started round- ing ’ his varsity basketball candi- dates into condition last Tuesday night when first call was issued for men, for this year’s quintet. This is the second season that Captain Dick has undertaken to coach basketball in addition to his numerous other duties as Graduate Manager of Washington and Lee athletics. The Generals won the state champion- ship under him last year. Cy Twombly, versatile coach of all sports, is at present assisting Cap- tain' Dick in getting the men into condition. Practises are being held on Tues- day, Thursday and Saturday eve- nings, commencing at 8 o’clock. This will continue until after the Thanks- giving holidays when the gym will be given over to _the varsity every afternoon. Jones, Ebert, and Lowry, are at present the. only letter men at the night workouts. In addition to these three there are Lowdon, McKimmie, and Jones from last years second team and Gordon and Wood from last year’s championship freshmen five. Football still claims most of those who are being counted on to a great extent. Five letter men are out for football and will not begin practice until the Florida clash brings the pigskin season to a close. floor team from the pivot position, will not be on hand until after the Florida game. Besides Babe, four other football men, White, Groop, Eiglebach, and Howe will start prac- tice upon their return. All of these are lettermen and much is expected of them in the coming winter sea- son. Howe, who won his monogram in his sophomore year was out all last season due to an injured should- er and his return will be watched with much interest by the Generals’ fans. This year’s ‘schedule is one of the hardest arranged in years. Dormus Gymnaseium will be the scene of the greatest court battles of the South when Alabama, Sewanee, and Vanderbilt come northward to battle the Generals. In addition to these major contests at home the Blue and White will. make an early season trip to Washington to clash with three of the east’s crackloutfits. Captain Dick is planning to take the Generals to the Capital city the first few days of Christmas vacation. At present the tentative schedule of, . _ _ ‘giving dances according to Virgil this trip includes games with the Navy, Catholic U., and Maryland.

Chittum Has Oldest Continual Personal Business In Lexington in Shoe Shop; Wants Change of Scenery After Serving Fourth Generation; Tells How He Got Lee’s Coffin. "Boots—boots—boots—moving up and down again . . . . . ” There's no relief in the shoe business. of Kipling’s famous poem has The full significance been revealed to Charles H. Chittum, veteran boot and shoe maker, who is retiring from the oldest continual personal business existing in Lexington, after 65 years of faithful service. Chittum doesn’t feel old, his step‘ is still firm, and his eye bright, but he wants a change after supplying four generations with footwear. Seated in his little shop, a land- mark he the finishing touches to a shoe belong- in Lexington, puts ing to a person who is the great grandson of one of his first cus- tomers. In this, his own environ- ment, he loves to recount tales of the days when the “General,” re- ferring of course to Robert E. Lee, used to be a citizen of Lexington. Chittum was only a boy at that time, but he recalls the incidents as though they took place yesterday. His favorite story is about the great flood of 1870. During the night of October 9, 1870, the North river, swollen from recent rains, steadily rose and washed away the old bridge at East Lexington. At the same time much damage was done to the property along the river. A warehouse, belonging to “Cousin Arch” Alexander, was swept away and the merchandise contained there-, in, was either washed down the, stream or scattered along the river banks for miles. | The town of Lexington was en- tirely shut off from the outside world. The only news that reached the town was that received from the opposite side of the river through the medium of some deep-chested “hollering.” ‘ On October 12, Robert E. Lee, then president of the institution now known as Washington and Lee, pass- ed away. Lexington pauscd in grief. Its loss from the flood had: been excelled by the death of itsl most honored citizen. A Shortly afterward the report was; spread abroad that all the coffins int ,_.. th.‘ town had been in “Cousin Arch’s” wggehouse and had been washed away. Chittum, then but a boy, with a chum, Harry Wallace, was down at the river bank looking at the re- sults of the flood when Coons, fur- niture man and undertaker, to- gether with the town police force, named Holmes, were observed by the boys. Coons, pausing from his labors at constructing a flat bottom boat, ex- plaincd to the boys that a coffin must be recovered for the burial of General Lee, and asked their aid. They, only too willing to engage in an adventure of this type, manned the tiny craft that had just been constructed and were immediately washed down stream to Davidson’s Island below the site of the bridge. Realizing that they were in danger, Wallace caught a tree branch that overhung the turbulent river, and managed to make fast their boat. Just above them, caught in the boughs of a tree, was a casket, de- posited there by the swollen stream. _After aid came, Chittum and his friend managed to get the casket to shore. It was this coffin that was used for the remains of the (treat chieftain. in announcing his retirement, Mr. Chittum handed in this notice: “After being in the shoe business 65 years, I have decided to quit. I ;;:n now doing work for the fourth generation. I now thank every per- son, white or colored, who helped to keep the wolf from my door. I ercpresent the oldest continual per- sonal business in Lexington. C. H. Chittum. Yours Nov. 14, 1927.” Fitzpatrick Looms As Writers’ Choice: For Coveted Berth Earl A. Fitzpatrick, left tackle on the Generals’ eleven, seems assured of a berth on the mythical All-State team, if comments of sports writers all over the state within the last two weeks can be taken as agauge. The Virginia and V. P. I. battles, being the chief major engagements which W. and L. has played within the bounds of the furnished the only real opportunity Old Dominion, for the scribes to see the big tackle in action, and their praises of his performances in both encounters have been invariably unanimous. Local fans who have seen “Fitz” in action in almost every game this year have felt all along that he has deserved to be placed opposite Captain Bick Cardwell, of Virginia, on the All—Virginia eleven, and are visibly pleased that his work has at last come to the notice of those who have the choosing. - Chief among his abilities to catch the eyes of the critics has been his great defensive work and his speed in getting down under punts tostop opponents’ safety men in their tracks, and his seemingly uncanny judgment in this regard has added greatly to the practical length of Spotts’ and Lott’s punts on more than one occasion. His work on the offense has been equally good, how- ever, and in the Tech game last week’ heiwas easily the outstanding man in the Generals’ line. T0 N0 REST FORTFROSH : ON THANKSGIVING .

Absences Count Double Four Days Around Holidays Absenccs four days before or after the Thanksgiving holidays will count double under rules of the exe- cutive committee of the faculty, ac- cording to the cut system now in :7or<'e. Concerning the quality credit provision in the new system, how- ever, cuts will count only as regular absences do. The same rule applies to the Christmas and Easter holi- days, and also the first four days of the second semester. Paragraph one in the present ab- sence regulations states that “each absence, for any cause whatever, in a semester in excess to the number of class meetings per week in any subject shall deduct one quality credit from the quality credits in that subject.” ,An exception is made in cases such as illness, or absence taken with university organizations. Also, if there are no quality credits in the subjects in which the absences occur, the deduction shall be made from the total quality credits for that session. Each laboratory period shall count as a class meeting.” Paragraph three provides that “whenever a student in a semester has a total number of absences from any class equal to twice the number of class meetings per week in that subject his case shall be referred by the registrar to the executive com- mittee of the faculty for action.” ———0 WEDS CAPTAIN ON ACQUAINTANCE ONLY Miss Peggy Tackett, 21-yard-old freshman at George Washington Uni- versity became the bride of Harold D.

Varsity Batters Light Frosh Team In Stiff Workout In a stiff scrimmage Friday after- noon against the Freshmen, which lasted the full time of a regular game, the Varsity ran roughshod and piled up 72 points on the Little Generals. The Generals have never shown more fire and vim, and when they got »posse.-sic~n of the ball it was just a matter of a few minutes before they scored a touchdown. Howe was the high scorer of the fray with three touchdowns to his credit for a total of 18 points. Lott was second with two touchdowns and four dropkicks after touchdown for a total of 16 points. White and Stearns both scored twice, and Spotts and Smith each carried the ball over once. At one point of the game 80 yards were reeled off in two plays, and at another tim Howe got off on a 60-yard run. The Frosh fought gamely but the heavier line of the Generals was too much for them. Tibideau, Faulkner, and Alford all showed up well for the Little Gen- erals. This was probably the last stiff workout for the Varsity before they leave for Florida, and if they show _the same snap and fight that they ‘did yesterday afternoon the “Gators” had better look to their laurels. ______o_____ No Admission Fee For Debate Tonight Officials of the local debating council announced this morning that the rules of the university governing the holding of meetings in the chapel make it impossible for them to charge admission, or even to solicit voluntary contributions, for any af- fairs held in the Lee Memorial chapel. The officers were previously under the impression that any money which could be secured from vountary gifts at the door would not violate the ruling, but further investigation showed this not to be the case and they were forced to rescind their announcement of last week that con- tributions would be welcomed from all attending. mom. Senior Pictures Due for ’28 Calyx McRee Davis, editor of the Calyx, announced that it is imperative for all Senior’s pictures to be taken next Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, if they wish their photographs to be in this year’s Calyx. This action is necessary since the Senior group must be sent to the engravers with- in a short time. All those who have failed to make their appointments are requested to see Davis or I. H. Elias. Thus far, one hundred Sen- iors have signed up for appoint- ments. GENERALS GET IN SHAPE FOR ’GATOR CLASH Florida Fresh From Win Over Ala- bama Will Present Stubborn Opposition. CAPTAIN TIPS To PLAY General’s Captain Back In Line-up For First Time Since Virginia Game. With a majority of the cripples rounding into shape, the chances of the Washington and Lee .varsity against Florida next Thursday are Although the lGators 0 doped to win from the Generals by rising. are virtue of their unexpected victory over the Crimson Tide of Alabama, even Coach Sebring is afraid‘ that over-confidence will creep into the Gainesville camp. ' The Gators are going to meet a team that uses a diversified attack when they tie up with the Generals. In the last several games, the charges of -Coach Herron have ex- hibited a series of criss-cross plays and lateral forward passes which have kept their opponents on their toes at all moments of the game. The work of Howe and Lott in running theends from these plays is outstanding. Gene White is still the line-ripping back that spelled defeat for Duke and Maryland, while the brand of football exhibited by‘ Tom- my Stearns in the last couple of games has established him with ‘the best ball-carriers in the state. In the line, Fitzgerald is a tower of strength. He is under all punts and is a wonder at smashing off tackle plays. Tips is one of the best guards in the south. He, too, is under the punts and follows the ball unerringly in all plays from scrimmage. Snodgrass on the de- fense has proved himself a deadly tackler by his performance against V. P. I. Captain Horse Tips will appear in the lineup for the first time since his injury in the Virginia game. Bobby Howe has also been on the sick list but is practically back in his old form. Lott is about ready to show the Gators his pass attack and a fleet pair of heels, while only Eberhardt appears any the worse for wear. This sophomore halfback who started in place of Lott last Saturday received a badly wrenched ankle and it is extremely doubtful whether or not he will be ready to go against the Gators. The Generals lineup will be called upon to stop one of the greatest fullbacks in Dixie when they face Middlekauff, the Florida captain. Crabtree and Brumbaugh, the fleet Florida halfbacks, have established a name for themselves by their bril- liant end runs throughout the season. The former accounted for one touch- (Continued on Page 4) The match between the Freshman and Varsity matmen Friday night proved to be a huge success. It was exceptionally well attended, con- sidering the fact that it was on a night before many of the weekly quizzes. The Varsity are preparing for their first trip on December 10 when they journey to Richmond for a bout with the University there. Eight men will make the trip with Coach Mathis and Manager Harry Godwin. The final score of Friday’s bout was Varsity 47; Freshman 22, the Varsity winning the majority of the 19 bouts by falls. In the first match of the evening Tully (V) scored a fall over Strain (F) in 5 minutes. This bout was rather slow except in spots. Kelly (V) and Smith (F) engaged in a nice bout in which Smith put up a nice fight, but Klly’s experience proved too much for the Frosh. Kelly won a decision in 4:7. The match between Smoot (F) and Schmitt (V) was one of the best of the entire program. There was plenty of action and fight through- out, Smoot finally gained the deci- sion by a slight margin. Thompson (V) easily scored a fall over Nanny (F) in 2:30. Marshall was one of the evening’s sensations when he decisively defeated Hopkins (V) gaining an advantage of 6:00.

PRAISES FOR GENERALS S FINE an exhibition of football as was ever shown in any ’ stadium—they really played football yesterday and gave all they had. Furthermore, we have never played a finer bunch of sports or cleaner players than the W. and L. boys were . . . . The Generals were present in fine style.” Thus wrote the manager of the V. P. I. football team to a member of his family the day after the Techman walked off the field victorious over the Generals last week. His remarks concerning the play and sportsmanship of Coach Herron’s team were echoed throughout an editorial which appeared in the VIRGINIA TECH this week, and speak well for the Big Blue team and for the clean spirit of fight which Pat Herron has injected into his men from his own personality and attitude toward the game. Washington and Lee can Well be proud of being represented by such a team as represents the university this season, and, win or lose, the men have never yet lost sight of the fact that they are gentlemen of Washington and Lee first, and football players next. This attitude on their part will do more for the good name of the school than could victories over every member of the Big Three or Big Ten, and we hope that the same ideals will continue to be uppermost in their minds regardless of the mere scores of grid battles. A v SPORTSMANSHII’ FOOTBALL, and particularly such football as was displayed by * both teams Saturday is an essential part of college life and training. Last Saturday’s game was one of the best examples of clean sportsmanlike football and such a game easily explains why V. P. I. likes to play W. & L. teams. W. & L. has won from V. P. I. for five years, yet as winners they were real sportsmen. This year W. & L. fell before the Techmen and they were even better losers than winners. They fought throughout the game, and their student body cheered until the end. Both colleges applauded good plays made by the opposing teams and the individuals played a gentleman’s game. The “piling—on” of a man after he Was downed was something that was lacking in this game. Beautiful tackles were made, and they were all the more beautiful because the members of both teams played the game not with the idea of getting away ‘with as much roughness as possible without being seen by the of- ficials, but with the intention of playing the game as gentlemen should. And then after the game the discussions and remarks of the W. & L. players deserve the highest of praise. Unlike many losers they did not offer alibis, nor did they try to explain the defeat by bringing up numerous reasons why they should not have won. No mention of the breaks of the game were made and W. & L.’s only comments were in praise of the Gobbler team. That is what we call real sportsmanship, and W. & L. is to be congratulated.—Virginia Tech. n BRIDLED COLLEGE PRESS UDGE Ben Lindsey’s “companionate marriage” lecture tour of the Pacific Coast, having caused constrenation in minis- terial ranks, has at last hit the colleges. On the order of Director Ernest C. Moore and Regent Edward Dickson, the Daily Bruin, of the University of California at Los Angeles, has been prohibited from printing any stories relating to the Denver ex—judge. The Bruin published, as part of its United Press service, a dispatch from Portland, Ore., dealing with Lindsey’s lecture there. Regent Dickson, owner of the Los Angeles Express, and one—time editor of the Daily Californian, decided that such stories have no place in student papers, and he so informed Director Moore, who obligingly placed the ban. The editor of the Bruin had little to say, but other college editors on the Coast and elsewhere are rising to deny that regents have the right of news suppression. Surprise also has een expressed that a former editor of a college paper, and present editor of a metropolitan paper, should cast the first stone. Lindsey is now in the south, so the Bruin will have plentiful opportunity of bringing about a showdown by disregarding the dictatorial edict of the governing officials, and printing the news.—(N.S.S.) (I u HARVARD CONTRA OXFORD ARVARD’S tutorial system, recognized generally as the Amercian counterpart of the Oxford and Cambridge plans and the goal toward which many universities in this country are working, is not only different from the British plans, but is not meant to appoximate them. This was explained in the “Crimson” by Prof. R. M. Eaton, chairman of the board of tutors in philosophy, who believes that the lecture system “ must continue to bear the load of im- parting information, while the tutor integrates this diverse ma- terial and aids the student in gaining an intelligent grasp of the whole field.” In contrast to the function of the Oxford tutor who prepares his student for examinations, the Harvard plan assumes that his courses give the student sufficient information for that, leaving‘ the tutor free to unify the knowledge and humanize it. For this reason Prof. Eaton believes the lecture and tutorial systems interdependent, and regards as bad the possibility of weakening either. The lecture system resulted in “written ex- postion” Whereas the tutorial system permits “verbal discussion of the field.” - as "L ‘ »' N. J- Chesterfield smokers don’t change with the seasons . ..

One member of the society has withdrawn from the university, presumably at faculty request. A faculty member described the punishment meted out to a freshman for failure to wear his cap as “hor- rible”.

Dr. Jaspcr’s Health Farm, a place for rich folks who discover new, diseases. The two crooks havel cleaned up in Chester and are mak—! ing their getaway on a passenger’, train going to Detroit. The “dicks”‘ are on the train, and also a wealthy millionaire and his prospective son- in-law, going to the Health Farm. The situations that arise on the train, are ainusirig to say the most, but‘ cannot be compared to the ones thatl follow, when Jim and Dick get off with the two “suckers”, at the Health Farm, and play around inside V-.Ctl1 the rich snobs for two whole (lays, all the time evading the bright detectives, but not their conscience. Thcrc’s a love theme too, between the millionai-ie,s daughter and the fleeing law breaker. Slowly but surely within the high walls of Dr. Jasper’s, Cupid weaves her web about them. So there you are, ro-- niance, adventure, rich comedy, satire, all interwoven with sparkling dialogue, and fast moving action, to amuse and entertain all comers. Or what have you? Special scenery for the show has Jeen constructed to order by the H. P. Kniglit Scenic Studio of New York City. The scenery is all new and this is the first time that it will appear on a stage. Half a car- load, it will arrive in Lexingtoni al:-out November 20. Scenery forl Scene I, Act I, was constructed! locally. Backstage lighting effects will be under the direction of George F. Atwood and his assistants. Van Gilbert, property manager, will have chaige of the stage The estimated cost of the produc- tion by Manager Gibson and Presi- dent '.'I‘hames is $500. The Southern Collegians will fur- nish music during intermission and the spare time will not lag at all while scenes are being shifted. Tickets are on sale now and will be all next week at The Corner. They should be bought early to in- sure sccuring good seats. The Thanksgiving show last year packedl the theatre, and this ycar’s produc-l tion is fully expected to repeat the occasion. x I i 1 v A__Q_I..

Having reached that high position of educational leadership because of his uncrring judgment, his personal devotion, and his educational leader- ship. “His unexpected death is an ir- reparable loss to the many interests VVCTC with which he was connected. The memory of his character and per- sonality will long be cherished by his kindred and his wide circle of devoted friends.” TQM Dr. Smith To Speak Dr. Henry Louis Smith will be the V HONOR ROLL COLLETTE, F.
