John Joseph Allen, ’70, of Franklin County, N.
C., is the champion speller of the North State, ac-
cording to the Raleigh News and Observer. This
might mean much or little, but the Raleigh News
says that Mr. Allen “can spell every word in the
dictionary and can give the proper definition.” If
this be true, North Carolina unquestionably is en-
titled to another “first.” An unabridged dictionary
of the English language these days contains some
450,000 words. Of course a vast number of these
are technical terms and generally Latin or Greek or
from some modern language other than English. It
is more than likely that Mr. Allen would find him-
self stumped if called upon to spell certain chemical
terms found in the dictionary, and still more unlikely
that he would be able to define some of them.
Mr. Allen says that every school in America
should use Webster’s Blue Back Spelling Book in
teaching spelling. He says it was excluded from the
schools for the reason that “it only costs 10 cents.”
We have been inclined to believe for a considerable
period that a return to the old spelling book method
of teaching spelling would produce better spellers
than our public schools are turning out.
PHILIP P. GIBSON, 713, of Huntington, West
Va., was a recent visitor to Lexington.

WRESTLING TEAM BEGINS TRAINING
The Varsity and freshman wrestling teams are now -
undergoing an intensive training period. The Varsity
men work out every day from 4 to 5 o’clock, while the
freshmen go through their paces from 5 to 6.
The outlook for this year’s team is exceptionally
bright. Some twenty men are now on the Varsity
squad, and this number will be considerably augmented
at the close of the football season, as many wrestlers
are out for football. Capt. Seligman, who was chosen
on Coach Player’s All-South Atlantic team last year,
and Bolton are the monogram men back whom Coach
Mathis will use as the nucleus of his Varsity team.
An excellent schedule is being arranged which will
include some eight or ten trips to various universities
in the South and East.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT WASHING-
TON AND LEE
With the completion of physical examination of
freshmen at Washington and Lee, all first year men
are now engaged in some form of physical education.
Swimming classes have begun. Ability to swim is
now a requisite for a degree.
The physical examinations revealed that the largest
freshman weighed 205 pounds and the smallest,
ninety-nine. The tallest was six feet one inch, and
the shortest five feet one inch.

Oct. 22-—W. & L., 25; U. of Kentucky, 0.
The usual season “opener” was provided in the game
with Lynchburg College. Ragged performance char-
acterized the play of both teams. ‘The form displayed
by the new and untried Generals’ backfield was the
most encouraging feature. ‘Two touchdowns resulted
from well directed forward passes—Lott to Spotts and
Lott to Barclay. A blocked punt for a safety scored
two points for Lynchburg.
The University of West Virginia provided the first
real test of the Generals’ ability. Battling doggedly on
Laidly field Charleston, West Va., under a hot sun the
two teams engaged in a midfield see-saw during the
first quarter. In the second period W. & L. advanced
to West Va.’s 25-yard line, lost the ball and was
forced back by a consistent. mountaineer onslaught
which resulted in a touchdown after a 23-yard run and
along pass. The half ended just as the Generals
were threatening the West Va. goal after a long run
by Stearnes. The third quarter again saw the Gen-
erals on the defensive with most of the play near mid-’
field. In the final period a successful forward passing
game took the Blue team to the West Va. goal line,
only to lose the ball on downs. A bad West Va. punt
gave W. & L. the ball again on the West Va. 10-yard
line and a touchdown upon gains by Lott and White.
The kick for goal failed and the game ended soon after
at 6-6 deadlock.
Duke University sent a strong team ably coached by
former W. & L. mentor, James DeHart, to Lexington.
W.& L. scored a touchdown in the first few minutes
of play upon an intercepted pass by Howe, a pass
from Stearnes to Howe, another from Lott to Howe,
an off-tackle run by Howe and a plunge by Barnett.
Lott missed goal from placement. The remainder of
the first half was taken up by a powerful Duke offen-
sive which resulted in touchdown and goal afterward
upon an offside penalty against W. & L. During this
period Duke backs gained at will through the General
line and constantly threatened their secondary. defense.
DeHart’s charges looked infinitely superior. After
the rest period a renewed and invigorated W. & L.
team took the field. Howe, Lott, White and Spotts
mixed end runs, off tackle jabs, line plunges and _ for-
ward passes in bewildering confusion to score the sec-
ond and winning touchdown in the face of numerous
and heavy penalties and strong Duke defensive work.
In this period the Generals registered ten first downs
and did not allow a first down to Duke. This flashy
comeback ended the game 12 to 6.
The strong showing against West Va. and Duke in-
spired many students to follow the W. & L. team to
Princeton, in hope of an inter-sectional victory. There
the Generals met .a superior and heavier team, were
constantly on the defensive except for two sustained
drives toward the Princeton goal which fell short be-
fore the stronger Tiger defensive wall. The powerful
Princeton backs tore through for a touchdown during
the first five minutes of play, but were blocked by
Spotts in the try for goal. In the second half the Gen-
erals were again threatened but held well when in dan-
ger until a fumble lost the ball on downs well within
their own territory. This gift resulted in the second
tiger score. A pass scored the extra point, the final
score being 13-0.

ALUMNI BUILDING OCCUPIED
Under the able direction of Prof. Hale Houston,
95, chairman of the Alumni Building Committee, re-
pair and rehabilitation work on the old McLaughlin
house has been completed. ‘This was made possible by
the generosity of a few alumni and friends who con-
tributed $2,200 for the purpose.
The new alumni quarters include a commodious
and handsome lounge which has been completely fur-
nished, a writing and reading room, a small lobby, a
lavatory, a large alumni office room and an open
porch. An upstairs living apartment is occupied by
the Alumni Secretary and family, the rental providing
tor the upkeep and maintenance of the building.
Conveniently located at the campus walkway en-
trance, the Alumni Building should provide a popular
gathering place and headquarters for visiting alumni
at all times. ‘The house will be remembered as the old
McLaughlin house, the Howerton home, the old Phi
Kappa Sigma house or the School of Journalism
Building. ,
The lobby has been furnished with reed fibre furni-
ture and the lounge with overstuffed Spanish leather.
The writing room or ‘‘den” walls are adorned with
aumerous autographed pictures of individual alumnt.
Another large room has been made into the business
office of the Alumni Association, Inc., and contains
all of the alumni files, records, etc.
Too much credit cannot be given to Prof. Hale
Houston for his invaluable assistance in planning and
directing the improvements in the old building, which
is one of the oldest houses in Lexington (approxt-
mately 125 years old). The repair and furnishing of
such a time-worn structure with such limited funds
was no easy task. It was only through the good judg-
ment aid experience of Prof. Houston that the work
was accomplished. Therefore, the Alumni Building
is but another monument to be added to his record of
accomplishments on the W. & L. campus.
In addition to the gifts gratefully acknowledged in
the last issue of the magazine generous contributions
for the building have been received from the follow-
ing alumni and friends: Hon. John W., Davis; ar.
William E. Dold, Harry Moran, Dan B. Owen, Miles
Poindexter, Albert Steves, Sr., Wm. A. Anderson, W.
L, Webster and Henry Boley. 2
THE ALL TIME W. & L. ELEVEN
The proposal that alumni pick an all-time W. & L.
football team met with an enthusiastic response in
some quarters. However, while a large number of re-
phes have been received, the response has not been
sufficiently general or representative for the judges to
come to a decision. Therefore, a report will not be
published until the next (January) issue of the_
Alumni Magazine.
In the meantime alumni should continue to send in
their choices for this mythical super-combination, for
the results will probably stand for years as the repre-
sentative choice by alumni of the eleven greatest
players ever produced at Washington and Lee, and the
more general the response is the more accurate the
judges decision will be. :
C. W. “Bill” Streit, 05, chairman of the committee
of judges, has called attention to various factors to be
taken into consideration, which makes a just decision
almost impossible. He pointed out that first attention
is always directed to the ball carriers, while the suc-
cess of those stars may be due to a running mate on the
same team who, was rarely given the opportunity to
carry the ball. Also, that defensive ability should be
taken into greater account.
Therefore, it should be made plain that in the choice
of the all-time Generals a distinction should be made
between the “most valuable player to his team” and the
greater all-round performer in his position. It is the
purpose of this present endeavor to pick the latter—-
that is, the most perfect combination of individual
efficiency in all departments of play in each position.
It is also hoped that more “picks” will be sent in by
alumni who witnessed team play between 1897 and
1907, for more of the choices received to date deal with
players from 1912 to 1926. Of course, results are not
to be final and will in no way reflect upon the spirit or
ability of any player or group of players. The con-
test, if contest it is, is merely for speculation and re-
flection—and will only set up a mark at which future
General stars can aim—a place on the “All-Time Big

Prospects
The 1927 team thus far has developed remarkably
under Coach Herron’s tutelage. In the beginning
the outlook was gloomy; the loss of veterans Rau-
ber, Palmer, Whitlock, Holt and Rector was keenly
felt. But from a good supply of new material a
formidable eleven has been whipped into shape.
The new team is conspicuous for the absence of
individual stars. ‘True, Captain Tips and the vet-
eran Spotts might be so rated, but in the backfield
the team is without a sensational ground gainer. In-
stead, the entire backfield is showing itself capable
of effectively executing offensive plays for consist-
ent gains. Howe and Lott substituted by Barnett
and Eberhardt are proving able runners, while White
and Stearnes ably share line plunging duty.
In the line the brilliant play of Captain Tips and
Spotts is seconded by that of. Fitzpatrick who is
playing his second varsity year at tackle. Fisher,
tackle, Groop, guard, Latham, center, Dorsey and
Towill, ends, varsity veterans from last year, are
augmented by Hawkins, tackle, Sproul, end, and
Snodgrass, center, second and third year men who
are doing exceptionally well in the varsity line.
Therefore, at the present writing, it appears that
the Generals will face the Cavaliers of Virginia with
a well balanced, smooth working, hard fighting team,
normally proficient in every department of the game
without a noticeably weak spot in offense or defense.
They will present a diversified attack independent
of any one individual star and account well in each
of the eleven positions.
Barring injuries they will likely line up as appears
below:

While every effort will be made to accommodate W.
& L. alumni, it is advisable for those coming to Lex-
ington by auto to secure reservations in the nearby
towns of Natural Bridge, Roanoke, Lynchburg and
Staunton for the nights of the 4th and 5th. Lexing-
ton is accessible by excellent roads from these points
in less than two hours. |
