CADETS’ HOLIDAY, DEC.

Health Com. Williams, Dr. N.
Frost, and Dr. H. G. Grant
Investigate.

The entire corps of cadets at Vir-
ginia Military Institute is under
state quarantine until December 29
as the result of the discovery of a
small epidemic of infantile paral-
ysis among the companies. This
action was taken Wednesday by of-
ficials of the State Board of Health
after consultation with school
authorities and health specialists.

At present four definite cases are
being treated, and three mild attacks
are known to exist among the cadets.
No serious conditions exist, however,
a statement issued yesterday says,
and no spread of the disease is
anticipated in view of the stringent
precautions taken immediately fol-
lowing the diagnosis of the malady.

State Health Commissioner E. G.
Williams took charge of the situa-
tion several days ago, and, together
with the post physician, investigated
the illnesses thoroughly. Wednes-
day Dr. N. H. Frost, of the U. S.
Public Health Service, and Dr. H.
G. Grant, edipemiologist with the
State Board of Health, were called
into consultation, and conditions at
the post were studied minutely, with
the quarantine resulting.

In view of the forced confine-.
ment to the post until December 29,
General William H. Cocke, superin-
tendent, intimated that the holiday
furlough of the cadets would bel
shifted so as to begin on that date,l
instead of Thursday of this week,§
as originally scheduled, and that thel
date of return to the post wouldi
probably be set later in January so'l
as to give the students the usual
mid—winter holiday at home.

The class work will continue untili
the quarantine is lifted, accordingl
to present plans, with examinationsi
probably taking place for two orl
three days after Christmas. Thisi
will enable the usual amount ofl
work to be taken this term, and willi
not work any hardship on thei
cadets. i

Washington and Lee has nothing
whatever to fear from the conditioni
existing at V. M. I., Dr. Reid White,l
university physician, stated lastl
night. There are no cases and no!
indications of any among the stu-

v

dents or townspeople, and it is be-‘

lieved that no contact of a danger-=

ous nature has been had between‘
students and cadets recently enough
to make any precautionary measures
necesary here.

The administrative officers met
with Dr. White and the state authori-
ties early yesterday morning to con-
sider the advisability of taking action
afiecting the university, but after a
thorough discussion of the situation
it was decided that none was neces-
sary. Possible contacts with the in-
fected cadets or carriers were studied
minutely, and, contrary to reports
circulated about the campus, the
closing of Washington and Lee at
this time was never seriously con-
sidered, although it was mentioned
as possible in case the disease made
its appearance in town or among
students.

steps immediately to prevent its

QUARANTIN

Sportsmen Flock
To Florida From
All Over Nation

Florida has been the Mecca for
sport enthusiasts every winter for
several years, and this winter the
“Land of Sunshine” is preparing for
the biggest invasion in its somewhat
colorful history. Always there are
several major league baseball teams
who spend part of the winter and
spring in their Florida training
camps. The leaders in every branch
of sport are found cavorting around,
breaking old records and establish-
ing new ones. In the realm of golf,
Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Joe
Turnesa, Jim Barnes, and dozens
of other links luminaries find their
way to the Peninsular State. Johnny
Weismuller, Arne Borg, Helen Wain-
wright and others lead the invasion
of swimmers. Gar and Phil Wood,
noted speed boat specialists attempt
to shatter their own records annual-
ly at Miami and West Palm Beach.
The leading jockeys and stable own-
ers spend the winter months in
Florida, as well as the higher-ups
in the boxing profession. Grey-
hound racing, one of the latest
wrinkles in sports of the “idle rich”
is probably rooted more firmly in
Florida than in any other section
of the world.

he will join the all-Southern senior team under the direction of
coaches Wallace Wade, Alabama, Dan McGugin, Vanderbilt, and
William Alexander, Georgia Tech, and proceed Monday to Los
Angeles, where the senior all—Pacific coast team will be met Dec-
ember 26.

This is the second consecutive year that a Washington and

third team all-American fullback, made the jaunt.

l Information came last night over

{there came a telegram asking Spotts

I Spotts entered Washington and Lee
jin the fall of 1924 from Fishbourne
._Military School and made the fresh-

isophoinore year he saw extensive
‘.sei'vice at end in spite of the fact
that the Blue and White had three
inonogi-am wingmen back from the
preceding year, two of them being
thi-ee—year men. In 1926 he took
over regular position and demon-
strated the most superb ball played
on Wilson field in years. This fall
he duplicated his feats of the 1926
scason~eveii in better form than a
year ago.

In both ’26 and ’27 he has been
placed on the all-South Atlantic
team, both times by practically a
unaniinous vote. Last year he was

On such a campus as Washington;

not cozning out .lic~r the \v1'e::1‘iiig' and boxing meets as they
shoiild, anal this year the :~‘.£‘.l‘.'if‘, complaint will be in order,
the  event of this nature can be taken as a criterion of
the future.

And why?

Anyone who attends one meet in either sport will not miss

another one .l'ollov:i11g, if we gauge sports fans’ likes correctly,,

as fast action and good entertainment are always provided by
personal, maji-to--man combats of any sort. Only those actively
engaged realize what tedious and metliodical preparation is
.iec.essary to turn out a man pliysically and mentally fitted for
’.l',lC mat or ring. The training grind is second to none in the
an7.w<;i‘sicty if success is to be won.

Ifiiiiics sports deserve the .<:.upport of every man at Washing-
:1. :~.ri;l Lee.
ti’ persoiial battle is one of the most inborn of all traits. The
 .s__:ing up of one’s body and tho traiiting to be able to hold

 A. I»: own against a personal a«'lve1'sary are important for every-.

- . and those who go out for the team, whether they make
requisite to active participation in the scheduled
..i.-o.,;. not, deserve credit, and do as much for the university
in ac-cordaiicc with their abilities as do those who compete on
teams rated as major sport entries.

CONGRATULATIONS, BABE
ABE SPOTTS’ right to a place in the sun among the
luminaries of ~‘;3outhern ends vxas fittingly recognized by
three of the conference’s leading coaches this week, when he
was chosen as one of the flankmen to make the trip to Los
Angeles to play on the Southern all-Senior eleven against a
similar aggregation of Pacific coast stars the day after Christ-
mas.

T119 “indent bo:7_;,‘ joins with fans throughout Virginia in
cont" .iing ‘iépotts on his honor, and will be watching him
in 2. Lite day of the big game as they have done for the
past  c years as he played under the colors of the Blue and
Wliite. The opportunity to play on the same team with the
sc:ior stars of the South is a fitting climax to his great success
on collegiate gridirons, and his ability as an offensive threat
and a C.el’ensive bulwark are almost certain to win him a place
in the line-up, either as 2:, starter or as a reserve.

Local fans well remember last year when “Ty” Rauber went
with the all-Easterii eleven to the coast to play the Western
stars, and made the only score for his team when he booted
the ball for three points enough to prevent a shut-out victory
for the Occideiitals.

Good luck, “Babe”; may the trip prove a pleasant one.

Man is naturally a comb:-dive creature, and love‘

jfla majority of the students—Garber-l

iDavis. This orchestra is well-known
throughout the South, and has im-
‘proved a great deal during the last
lseveral months. They are now play-
ling regularly for Columbia records.

}would have been swelled consider-
iably had the Belgian consul been
fgivcn the support Washington and
jLee offered. To aid the homeless
{in the theatre of the European war,
§Frederick E. Nolting, the Belgian
consul, proposed a post season game
on Decemebr 5 between the Uni-
versity of Virginia and Washington
and Lee.

President Henry Louis Smith re-
‘plied instantly that the suggestion
was looked on with enthusiasm at:
‘Washington and Lee, but Virginia
‘declined, as the authorities replied
that the team ‘had disbanded for
the season.

FEATURES THE.
CAROL SERVICE

Glee Club sings; Lee Chapel
Radiates With Christmas
Spirit.

A charming entertainment was
given under the auspices of the
English department in Lee Chapel
last night in its presentation of an
evening of Christmas carols. The
programs was directed by D1‘. E- F-
Shannon, and the atmosphere was
in keeping with the Christmas spirit.

Professor M. G. Bauer’s reading
of Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” was
the main feature of the evening.
The reading was given in two parts,
while the Glee club sung carols be-
tween readings.

Written in the charming and
pleasing style of Dickens, the
“Christmas Carol” touched the hearts
of the entire audience. The main
thread of the story was how Scrooge,
a crabby old business man who
scorned happiness and cheer, was
taught the real meaning of Christ-
mas by the ghost of his departed
business partner. A spirit of real
Christmas cheer is aroused in
Scrooge’s heart, and the old man
brings the story to a joyful close as
he dines with his nephew on Christ-
mas day.

Three carols were sung by the
Glee club, with the accompaniment
of Professor Shelley on the organ.
These were “O Come All Ye Faith-
ful”, “Good King VVeneelas”, and
“God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen”.
The songs were in harmony with
the development of Dickens’ story.

The chapel seemed to radiate with
sincere Christmas spirit. Cedars and
various evergreens were artistically
arranged on the platform and,
thoughout the interior. Three white!
candles in each window sent out
a warm greeting to the wayward
wanderer. On the platform, nine,
red candles burned with a so
yellow glow that lent beauty and
charm to the atmosphere. Portraits,
pictures and Confederate flags added,
color to the scene. Only the soft,
light from the candles were used»,
A faint scent of cedar prevailed in,
the chapel, and gave harmony to’

the background. ;
Students, townspeople, faculty ,
members, and V. M. I. officers com-,
prised the audience that filled the!
chapel to its capacity. More than:
400 enjoyed the carols, which sug-l
gested the approaching Yuletide.
The program for the evening was:
Organ prelude—Professor Shelley. ,

l Sale of Cigarettes

Doubles in Six Years

The Bureau of Internal Revenue
publishes data concerning the quan-
tities of the several tobacco pro-
ducts manufactured. The most strik-
ing item in these data is the in-
crease in the number of cigarettes
manufactured in registered factories
especially in recent years.

The number in 1926, as based‘on
monthly tax reports of stamp sales
for that year and from products
made in registered factories export-
ed tax free for the fiscal year 1926,
reached the total of 92,336,336,402,
nearly double the number manufac-
tured in 1920. The cigarette output
of all registered factories and bond-
ed manufacturing warehouses in the
United States in 1926 was approxi-
mately 99,000,000,000. During 1926
there were 9,539,335 cigarettes ex-
ported, thus leaving 90,000,000,000,
for consumption in the United
Staes. And this number does not
take into consideration those made
by the smoker from loose tobacco
of which no data are available.

The Yuletide season has come to

All are looking forward to good
times with mother, with dad, and
with—her! ! Dancing, happiness,

Varsity And F rosh
Boxers Stop Today

The varsity and Freshmen boxers
close their practice tonight until
after the holidays. The work up to
this time has consisted mainly of

,preliminary practice with light daily
§ workouts.

On Wednesday, January 4, practice
will start again, and the Varsity
candidates will begin in earnest to

3 prepare for the Virginia match which
jwill be

in Doremus gymnasium
January 14. This leaves but ten days
for preparation, and stiff daily work-
outs will be held to get the boxers
in trim for the hardest and most
important match of the season.

The prospects have been consider-
ably brightened with the addition of
Price Holland in the 115 or bantam-
weight class. Holland is inexperienc-
ed, but is exceptionally fast, and
is expected to develop into a clever
boxer. It is hoped that Spotts will
be able to come out for the heavy-
weight class after his return from
the holiday game on the
coast.

THE RING-TUM PHI

Christmas 
Of Mink Greeted As

Greatest Success

Vividly full of the holiday spirit,
and resplendent in Christmas eolors,,
the “Christmas Number” of The‘
Mink made its appearance on the,
campus Wednesday afternoon. 

This, the third issue of this yearsi
Washington and Lee’s humorousi
magazine, met with a decided suc-!,
cessful reception and has been de-!
clared bythe Student Body to be

“one of the best yet.”

Taking for its theme the spirit of
Christmas and the holidays, The,
Mink followed this in its contents
to the nth degree. The majority
of the art work and the literary
material dealt solely with this sub-
ject, and followed the theme uniquely
and very smartly indeed.

The cover was drawn by Leonard
Glover. Art work by Frances
French, Frances Guthrie, Bill Mun-
ford, Dud Carr, Jack Ecker, Duncan
McConnell, and A. P. Bondurant
featured the issue. A wealth of
reading matter in the form of poems,
sketches, stories and jokes filled the
space between the snappy art work
very interestingly. Special Christ-
mas designs, borders, and illustra-
tions enlivened the pages of the

, Medical Atteiitiion

Needed For Fresh,

If judged by excuses given at V.!,

C. meetings, the Freshmen class has
a very large precentage of men who
need medical attention. The popular

ldiseases and distemperments are of

a very wide extent, ranging from
indigestion to weak hearts.

One man had had six inches taken
out of his large intestine, so, ac-
cording to reasoning, he was
ineligible to a beating. One lesson
will probably be sufficient to show
these offenders that “Maladies of the
body may prove medicines to the

his

. mind.”

A majority of the cases brought to
the attention of the V. C. are those
of “gross freshness”, and in failing
to obey the speaking custom. Some
freshmen also, have a tendency to
stay out too late at night, and to
lose their caps, both offenses being
liable to prove very costly.

Most offenders plead “Not Guilty”
to their charges, having no recol-
lection at all of such an act.

However, freshmen may enjoy
peace of mind for a while, for the
next meeting of the V. C. will not
be until after the holidays.
