Game Southern Collegians Practice New Numbers for Cotil- lion Club Dance INFORMAL TO START PROMPTLY AT NINE Concert Numbers Will Be Featured By The Orchestra The social season of Washing- ton and Lee will open Saturday night, after the N. C. State game, with the informal dance, sponsor- ed by the Cotillion Club. The music for the dance will be furnished by the Southern Col- legians, and will start promptly at nine o’clock. The orchestra has been holding practices every night in the Troubadour room and has added about forty new num- bers to its popular dance PTO- grarn. Aside from the popular pieces, much time has been spent on several heavy concert numbers, among them: “Louisiana BoBo,” “Rhapsody in Rythm,” “No Park- ing,” and “By the Waters of the Minnetonka.” No New Men The band that will appear on the platform Saturday night will be made up of the men who were on the European tour this past summer. No new men will be included on account of lack of time for rehearsals, due to the early date of the dance. The first important change to be made in the organization was the shifting of Lee Greshman to alto saxophone, and Ed White to the tenor position. This change has resulted in a saxophone sec- tion with more volume on the “hot tunes,” and a closer organ effect on the “sweet” numbers. Nine Tryouts Several notices were posted re- garding tryouts but only nine new men responded, and most of these were competing with the best of the old men. Only one change was absolutely necessary, the bass horn job being thrown open to the field, since ‘it is un- certain whether Jan Campbell will be able to play. The big horn is temporarily in the hands of Tur- ner Adams, a transfer. The band will be made up of the following: trumpets, Harold Slanker, and H. L. Shook; Thom- bone, G_. T. Steuterman; Saxo- phones, T. G. Gibson, C. E. White and E. L. Gresham; Piano, Ethan Allen; Banjo, D. T. Gresham; Bass horn, Turner Adams; Drums, Director. ___:0.____._ Dr. White's Hours At 9 AM and 5 PM Dr. Reid White, university phy- sician, will have ofifce hours for students from 9 to 10 A. M., and 5 to 6 P.,M. This schedule began on Monday, October 1. The afternoon hour will be om- itted on Saturdays, and both will be omitted on Sundays. Dr. White, whose office is at 22 W. Washington Street, is very desi- rous that all sick students see him during the scheduledhours. son, Each student who is an ap- plicant for a degree of any kind, or for a certificate in the School of Commerce, must file an application for the degree or certificate.

Two Prizes of $1,000 For Best Essays on Smith Mrs. James W. Gerard, wife of the former Ambassador to Ger- many, has offered two prizes of $1,000 each for the best essays written by college students on the subject: “Why Alfred E. Smith Should Be Elected President of the United States.” One prize is for women and the other for men. The contest will close October 20. The New York World, Buffalo Times, Trenton Times, Raleigh News Observer, Richmond News Leader, Arkansas Gazette, Gaines- ville ,Fla. Sun; Columbia, S. C., Record; Nashville Tennessean, Lexington Herald, Nevada State Journal, Atlanta Journal and Pro- vidence News are cooperating with the College League in con- ducting the contest. Essays may be sent to these newspapers or to the New York committee at 1775 Broadway, New York City; the Central Re- gional Committee at the Hotel Jefferson, St. Louis, Mo'., or the New England Committee at the Hotel Statler, Boston, Mass. Each of the various committees will pick the two best essays written by men and the two written by women that are submitted to it. Only these ~ sectional selections will qualify for the money prizes. The essays are to be limited to English. They must be typed or strength of argument, form of composition and excellence in 500 words and will be judged on written, on one side of the paper. The name of the author, with college and class must be enclos- ed. (mm Musicians Form New Student Band The “W. & L.

Rehearsals will begin immediately according to “Hank” Slanker, di- rector. ‘ Their first engagement has been booked for Saturday after the football game at 5:00 when they furnish music for the opening dance of Fox’s\ “Japanese Gar- den.” “There has been a need for a well rehearsed small combination to play in this territory for a long time,” Slanker said. “There are lots of jobs around here that do not pay enough for a big or- chestra, and we may as well get. them as let them go to someone else.” Hornets Crushed By Generals ln One-Sided Game Lynchburg Hornets Fail To Offer Big Blue Team Resistance WHITE AND EBERHARD ‘ LEAD W. & L. BACKS Thibodeau Makes First Score Of 56-0 Victory With Long Run By Henry MacKenzie The powerful Washington and Lee football team made its 1928 debut last Saturday on Wilson field by swamping the Hornets of Lynchburg by the one-sided count of 56 to 0. The General’s display- ed a hard running set of backs behind a forward wall which tore great gaps in the opposing line. The entire first half was played in a driving rain which made both the field and the ball soggy. This conditions compelled both teams to resort to running attack, and the few passes that were tried were not completed. In spite of the unfavorable state of the ball and field, costly fumbles lacking. The Washington and Lee back- field could not be stopped. Every man registered a gain almost ev- ery time he carried the ball. Out- standing in the ball-toting were Thibodeau, Eberhardt and White. The former carried the brunt of the attack and made the most spectacular gains of the afternoon. Eberhard was close on his heels in the matter of ground-gaining, while White chalked up substan- ,tial yardage every time he car- ‘ried the ball. Jones, Lott, Bar- 3 nett, and Faulkner did their share in piling up the‘ huge score. Faulk- ner deserves special credit for his » work during the afternoon, for he led the interference while his mates were gaining the ground. The General’s line did not get much chance to show its defen- sive qualities, for Washington and Lee had possession of the ball most of the time. The forwards, however, did some noble work in opening holes for the backs to go thorugh. Captain Fitzpatrick, Hawkins and Groop led the way in the parade through the oppo- sition. Williams and Towill look- ed good on the ends. They smear- ed the few end runs tried by the Hornets and did not allow a sin- gle punt receiver to get away from them. Thibodeau provided a big thrill of the day on the third play after the opening kickoff when he slip- (Continued on page three) “To Hop, Or Not To Hop?” By J. B. Magee Will the Wiggle” and the “Virginia Beach Special” “Georgian be in vogue at Washington and Lee this year? Not if the students follow the dictates of the National Dancing Masters’ Association. “The hop is passe,” was the verdict at their recent convention at Detroit. The gymnastic perfor- , mances which have held undisput- ed sway for the past few years must go. Why? Well, for one rea- son, they are not only unsuitable but well-nigh impossible for those who do not fall under the heading of “flaming youth.” And believe it or not, our elders do like to dance, or would, were their agi- lity not put to such a severe test. This brings up the question as to what shall replace the hops and wiggles which have been so pop- ular. “The glide will replace the hop” asserts the dancing masters. From now on one‘s skilll in the dance shall be determined by one’s abi- lity to glide, a feat requiring more ‘ poise and maintenance of equili- brium than the “every man for himself” hop. ‘The well-known strangle hold, so much a part of the passe’ form of dancing, has also been con- demned. he proper position to a'-:- sume is an upright, comfortable, convenient one, with the man’s fingers barely touching his part- ner as he guides her. Just what forms the glide will take are not definitely known, but it will cause several‘ changes at Washington and Lee. At Virginia Beach the past summer a new dance known as “The Shag” gained such popular- ity that the “Wiggle” was al- most forgot'ten. If the students take the dic- tates of the dancing masters ser- iously the “Corner,” which proved so popular at the dances last year will probably be broken up, for dancing on a dime is out of the picture, gliding takes room. Per- haps it may even be necessary to organize the dancers, insisting that they progress ’round and ’round the flor as on a skating rink. were _ 13 DIAMONDS APPEAR IN SOPHOMORE’S HAND If you are lucky enough you can get all thirteen. Atherton Seeley, sophomore, at the Sigma Nu house, proved it Saturday night when his bridge hand showed a solid streak of thirteen diamonds. At no time within recent bridge history around this uni- versity has such a thing hap- pened. It is such a rare occur- ence, bridge players say, that it seldom occurs with unstack- ed cards more than three times a year in the United States. Playing with Seeley were, G. T. Steuterman, H. P. Street, and F. Annen. Thirteen of a suit, any bridge player confesses, is his ultimate ambition. With such a hand he can win every trick, all honors, grand slam bonus, trick bonusses, and only a bridge scorer knows what else. Little Generals Get Workouts Frosh Coaches Put New Men Through Hard Workouts For W. & M. With their first game but two days away the Little Generals are being put through stiff scirm- mages every afternoon under the tutelage of “Eddie Parks” Davis, “Bill” Dorsey, and “Monk” Mat- tox. For their first opponent the Frosh meet the yearlings of Wil- liam and Mary, Friday afternoon on Wilson field. It is a coinci- dence that this team is coached by “Cy” Young, former W. & L. star. Tuesday afternoon the tenta- tive first team ran roughshod over the third eleven, gaining at will. Guiol and Mitchell were es- pecially effective, making good gains each time they carried the ball. Later the second team was brought in and given the ball, but they were "smothered on almost every play. Martin was the only man on the seconds who was able to get by the line of scrim- mage. However, this was due mostly to the weakness of the line which broke on every play. Eg- bert at center and Wilcox at guard were the mainstays of the second team line. According to Coach Davis the following men will see action on Friday. Porter and Egbert at cen- ter, Tilson, Wilcox,.and Towns- mire at guard, Bailey, Rosenburg, Wolf; and Livingston at tackle, Long’. Stevens, and Wilson at end, Mitchell at full, Guiol, Martin, Smith, and Cross at half, and Mattox at quarter. Mattox turned ankle in practice Tuesday, and McLaren may be called on to start the game. Chapel Visitors Fall Off With Rainy Season The bad tourist season caused by the excessive rains in the state, has lessened the number of Lee Chapel visitors, according to Mrs. Mildred Lee Francis, cus- todian of the Chapel. In August there were 11,348, while September showed a de- crease of 4,647, when only 6,701 were registered. There was, how- ever, an, increas of 322 over Sep- tember of last year. The greatest number of sight- seers that visited the Chapel in one day this year came on Au- gust 25th when the resords show- ed that 581 had visited the Tomb. The fourth of July was second in number with 528. Mrs. Frances said that these numbers include only those who have registered, but that there are a great many others who fail to‘ do so. Washington and Lee Falls Short of Mini- mum Goal Set by Executive Committee Anticipating a total of at least $500.00 in subscriptions to the storm relief fund raised in the student body here, members of the Executive Committee and spe- cial committees were disappointed when the check-up yesterday dis- closed the fact that only $457.57 had been given. Hoping to add to the total and bring it up to the minimum mark set as Washington and Lee’s part in the work of relief and rehab- ilitation, W. J. Dorsey, chairman of the committee of twelve in charge of the drive, has issued a call for free-will subscriptions by those who were not seen last week or by any who wish to add to that already given. The twelve men on the com- mittee visited twenty-four frat- ernity and boarding houses at the evening meals Thursday and Friday, but realizing that they were unable to speak to any- where near all the men on the campus. The fact that the emergency re- quired immediate funds called for quick action, and time existed for the organization of only a dozen men for the drive, some of whom were unable to work at the lunch hour due to being occupied in jobs at that time. Any member of the committee, or Dorsey, John Bell» Towill, president of the Stu- dent Body, or Prof. Hale Hous- ton will receive contributions the remainder of this week, but all stress the necessity of giving im- mediately if the money is to. be of the utmost good. The imediate suffering of the persons in the striken areas has been‘alleviated greatly by the sending of cash from the Red Cross headquarters in Washing- ton to purchase food and provide temporary housing, but the need of permenent rehabilitation and clothes for the poverty-striken in- habitants‘ is still acute, and more funds must be forthcoming if the communities affected are to be put on their feet and upon a pro- ducing basis again, reports state. Troubadours To Broaden Scope New Feature Orchestra Will Be Added This Year; Glee Club To Be Enlarged A call for more Troubadour tryouts was issued this morning by W. Van Gilbert, acting head of the dramatic organization. The Troubadours are expanding their scope this year and be- sides the enlarged dramatic op- portunities, they intend to develop the musical section. There will be a Troubadour or- chestra, separate and distinct from the Southern Collegians, which will make trips in conjunc- tion with other Troubadour fea- tures. All men, especially fresh- men, with musical tendencies are urged to be present at the next try out. The Glee Club this tends to widen its scope. Prof John Graham will have charge and negotiations are being made at present to secure playing dates at Sweet Briar, Randolph Macon and Hollins. The last try out was encourag- ing but limited for lack of mat- erial. The date for’ next tryout will be announced later. Al Col- lison, president of roubadours, is out of town at present due to family illness but is expected back shortly. Men who desire to try for the business staff will likewise watch bulletins for tryout announce- ments. year in- :___.0_..____ F edor and Tignor Named to Offices In 1932 Elections A. J.

Faculty Stiffens Law Entrance Average of “C” Demanded Of Students Entering Law School A resolution stiffening entrance requirements of the law school to require a “C” average among men entering with two years of college preparation was passed by the faculty in meeting yesterday. During the session 1928-29 a student entering the school must have attained an average of “C” or better in his last year. Begin- 1930-31, thereafter, the student must have averaged “C” or better during his last two years of academic study. ning with session and The passing grade in the Law School was lowered from seven- ty-five to seventy. “While it may seem like low- ering the standards of the school” Dean Moreland said, “to drop the passing requirement five points merely means law professors will grade harder.” “We are requiring “C” average so as to insure that the man com- ing in has completed a full two years of 'college work, half the degree requirement. Heretofore a man could enter the law school with a “D” average,” Dean More- land explained. __0___ Students Prefer I Greek to Latin Figures Prove For the first time in the his- tory of the University there is a greater number of students tak- ing Greek than Latin. his tends to show that Greek is not becom- ing less popular as is the coin- Henry V.

State Teams Have Not Met Since 1925 When W. & L. Ended Season With 12-0 Win INVADERS’ LINE TIPS SCALES AT 183 POUNDS Pack Scores at Will In Opening Game With Elon Christians By Mike Leibowitz The North Carolina State Wolf- pack, fresh from an overwhelm- ing victory at the expense of the Elon Christians, will invade Wil- son Field this Saturday determin- ed to garner its first Southern Conference win of the season. Saturday’s clash will mark the resumption of football relation- ships’ between the two schools. The last appearance of the N. C. State gridders was in 1925, on VVilson Field, when in the last home game of the season the Generals added another conference win by the score of 12-0. It mark- ed the last appearance on Wilson Field of eight of the W. & L. ele- ven, among them Henry VVilson, who played one of the best games of his career. _ Four Victories The Generals have yet to taste defeat at the hands of the Ra- leigh squad. In the four games that the both schols have engaged in, the W. & L squad has been victorious. The first game was played in 1922 on Thanksgiving Day and the Generals won 14-6. It was played on a muddy field, and N.C. State scored first, but with Jim- mie Thomas, as the ball carrier, the Big Blue gained three times as much ground as the Tarheels. The Wolfpack was met in the season’s final of 1923 in Norfolk, with the Generals again victorious by the count of 20-12. Both teams were powerful on the offensive, but the ability of the Blue to hold Within their 20 yard line, gave them victory. Cameron, Wilson and Hamilton were considerable ground gainers for the Generals. A Walk-Away On Thanksgiving Day in 1924, the Big Blue team had an easy time with the State team, win- ning‘ from them by the score of 34-0.

I TOWN AND GOWN AGAIN townspeople in most of these towns believe} the students are as “rowdyish” as the oc- students as a whole have it in for the town, ' law and order. Fights resulting from thesei misconceptions antedate Shakespeare, and the 113-me they had at Oxford is used today 1 know that these affairs are successfully in America. They are known as “Town andlt Gown” fights. In Lexington, citizens have formed close bonds with students. Gowni and Town alike consider the friendship and‘ association most dear. As long as the student minds his busi- ness and does not become obnoxious, no cri- ticism arises from either police or towns- people. Students resent unreasonable interfer- ence of police. In turn these officers do not wish to find things in such condition as to: demand interference. Students are in Lex-l izens, more law—abiding and more cultured. It is the duty of every student——of every American citizen—to keep down deplorable conditions as they arise. Not to enforce laws known to be bro- ken is violation of an officer’s oath. Viola- tion of oath makes one—whether law-en- forcement agent or no't—susceptible to im- mediate dishonorable dismissal. Officers here claim that they do not wish to pry into the private life of students. They assure us that they understand youth. The commonwealth attorney, who is responsible for law enforcement here, is an alumnus of the same university that you have the privilege of being a student in to- day. Often police of the right sort can be of signal service to college boys. Some are wil- ling to help students along, to give council, as well as protection, when asked. In return, all that is asked of students by police of this type, is to refrain from undue distur- bance of the peace and public demonstra- tions of disorderly conduct—in other words that you conduct yourself as every Wash- ington and Lee man is expected to conduct himself—as a gentleman. 0__: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Coach Herron and Captain Fitzpatrick have a bunch of “Fighting Generals”. The Blue and White entered last Saturday’s game with blood in their eyes and a deter- mination to fight, fight, fight. Never did a Washington and Lee team surpass this initial performance. To coach Pat Herron goes great credit for conditioning the players. He has taken a few members of his only fair 1927 eleven and made a team resembling a cage of wild roaring tigers. If the Generals hold the pace set Saturday, subsequent games are going to be Well worth seeing. Considering the threatening weather, the team was well supported. But Satur- day the Blue and White needs the yells and noise from every student. North Carolina State has a good team, a team still smarting from the trouncing taken from the Generals in 1925. __________()____._ CONGRATULATIONS We wish to congratulate the students upon their response to last Wednesday’s RING-TUM PHI editorial headed “A Thing Decried.” It is safe to say the students fail- ed to realize beforehand the ungentlemanly thing it is to get something free that they do not deserve. This is exactly what they were doing in viewing the V. M. I. — Hampden-Sidney game from the bluff. Every student takes great pride in his University, and should never do anything which would bring her discredit. Washington and Lee is known the coun- try over as a gentleman’s institution, a uni- versity where honor and upright things are first; self last.

Each absence, for any cause whatever, in a semester in excess of the number of class meet- ings per week in any subject shall deduct one quality crdit from the quality credits in that sub- ject, except as provided for in- 2 and 5. If there no quality credits in the subjects in which ex- cess absences occur,‘ the deduction shall be made from the total quality credits for that session. Each laboratory period shall count as a class meeting. 2. In exceptional cases, such as those due to illness or other necessity, upon prompt written ap- plication of the student and with the approval of the Committe on Absences, (consisting of the Dean, the Registrar and a member of the faculty to be appointed by the President) there will be no loss of quality credit for an excess absence. 3. Whenever a student who is not on the Dean’s list has a total number of absences during a se- mester from any class equal to twice the number of class meetings per week in that subject, he shall be placed on probation as to absences for the rest of that semester and for the following semester. Quality credits will not be deducted for ab- sences of students who are on the Dean’s list, which shall consist of students who were on the Honor Roll during the preceding semester. 4. Absences during the four days immediately before or after Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Eas- ter holidays and during the first four days of the second semester count double in so far as being placed on probation» is concerned, but shall count only as one absence in so far as quality credits are concerned. 3 5 The total number of absences in any class due to membership in organizations recognized as re- presenting the Univrsity shall be counted as not exceding the numbr of class meetings per week in that subject. All absences other than those due to membership in such organizations shall come under Rules 1, 2, 3, and 4 above. 6. The professors shall make daily reports of every absence to the Registrar’s office, where a complete record of all absences shall be kept. After a professor or instructor has reported absences to the Registrar, such professor or in- structor is not required to make any further re- port of such absences. The above regulations were passed by the Fac- ulty October 1, 1928. E. S. Mattingly, Secretary. r ———0—————— ‘ Ex-Senator George E. Chamberlain, ’76, died at following a long illness.

Stemmons, Daves, Hawkins and Holt played well in the line While Wilson, McMillan and Cameron “were best on the offense. For the past two years, N. C. I State has had great teams, com- ing within scoring distance of the championship. McDowell, one of Dixie’s greatest backs brought N. C. State to the fore and secured football recognition for the Wolf- pack throughout the country. Defeat Elon »- The Tarheels scored at will in their game Saturday with Elon, winning by the score 57-0. Cap- back, who is being touted as the successor of McDowell, gathered three touchdowns by straight line plunging. He was also responsible for two more scores, being the thrower of two successful passes. diminutive “Sparky” Adams, ' quarterback, showed his heels to the Elon ends and scampered around the wings for two touch- downs. Reserves were rushed in first half, when the result was no longer in doubt. ' Average 183 Pounds The 183 pound averaging for- ward wall of the Staters had lit- tle difficulty in ripping the light- er defense to treads. The invaders will come to show that they have not been hampered by the loss of McDowell. Then too, the desire to wipe out the four defeats, will motivate the 3: ‘ Wolfpack to sink their fangs in the championship hopes of Wash- ington and Lee. __:_0_:__ A letter congratulating the Ex- ecutive Committee on their cam- paign and thanking the students for their response to the Red Cross call for storm relief funds was received by J.

WILLIAMS, Proprietor FOX’S F lNE FOOD Boasting of a line which averaged 193 pounds from tackle to tackle, the Generals looked quite formidable when they took the field Saturday against Lynchburg College. The performance of the for- ward wall throughout the Hornet battle showed that none of this avoirdupois was “dead weight”, but every ounce a part of a Fight- ing General, valiant as‘of old. Nothing need be said in commendation of the work of the Blue and White backfield. VVith the line opening up holes and often providing beautiful assistance in weeding out op- posing backs, the ball toters rang up 56 points before the final gun. The most pleasing thing to observers who have seen Washington and Lee teams in action over a period of four or five years was the uniformly good interference supplied ball carriers on every play. The linemen pulled with the nth degree of perfction whn th play called for it, and the interference backs stuck together, bowld over their opponents, and paved the way for gains with a degree of perfection nver before seen here in an opening game, and seldom exhibited when the machine is supposed to be in mid-season form. And to make it an ideal football day from the W.&L. standpoint, the managers had a dog rush on the field in the midst of play. The opening victory, bell ringing by the fresh- men, small crowd, and finally the presence of the canine labelled the day a perfect one. A new era would be dawning if a game were played without a dog running on the field, and we are glad ('?) to see that this year’s managerial corps is upholding the traditions of the Univer- sity by furnishing the expected side-show from the very start of the season. The Generals gained a total of 501 yds from scrimmage while the Hornets were advancing but 27 yards through the Big Blue defense. The first quarter saw the biggest gains for both sides, W. and L. going forward 182 yards while the invaders were marching for 21 three-foot stripes. In the final periods Lynchburg gained two, three, and one yards, respectively, while the Generals progressed 127, 84, and 108. ’ Gaining 182 yards in the first period, the Generals scored but two touchdowns, while in the final period they crossed. the goal line three times by advancing 108 yards. Figure that one out! Penalties were inflicted for a total of 85 yards, Wash- ington and Lee drawing 55 yards in frit units. and the Hornets 30 in four set-backs. Regardless of penalties drawn, however, the Generals registered 23 first downs during the fracas, while the best Lynchburg could make up was a pair. The punting of the two elevens was about on a par, the Blue and White averaging 37 yards and the Westoverians’ mean being 36. The General’s safety run-backs were good for a six-yard average, those of Lynchburg for but two. Captain Fitzpatrick kicked off for an average of 43 yards, while the few tee shots of Wright’s men were silghtly more than half as good, averaging 23 yards. Neither team opened up a passing attack, but three ______ _. heaves being made during the entire battle. Washington an Lee's two tosses were incomplete, as was the one attnipted by a Hornet back. the slippery condition of the ball and the uncertainty of footing on the soggy field accounted for the lack of aerial fireworks in part, but it is also thought that the known presence of two North Carolina State coaches in the stands was one big reason for the Generals holding themselves in check and failing to use either passing or anything but straight football to advance the ball. The Generals had a chance to hang up the South Atlantic 1928 record for scoring, but failed when only two out of a possible nine extra points were added after touchdowns. N. C. State made three good to defeat Elon 57 to 0, while Virginia successfully chalked up six while downing Randolph-Macon College 60-0. . Good weather prevailing, the largest crowd in the his- tory of early-season football in Lexington should be on hand Saturday to witness the N. C. State-W. & L. battle. The fact that Virginia entertains South Carolina ,Bill Lavell’s team which downed Chicago last week, in Charlottesville the same day will halve the state fans, it is true, but ath- letic authorities here are anticipating a big automobile in- flux from‘ West Virginia and North Carolina, as well as from points throughout Virginia. The Wolf Pack game will be as hard as any the Generalslwill compete in this year, but local fans‘ hope that at the close of the final quarter there will be as good an excuse to carry a halfback off the field on the shoulders of his mates as there was last week.( ?-1) P A T T O N ’ S H.

He avoided the saf- etyman cleverly, while perfect in- terference took care of the rest of the Lynchburg defense. The sophomore halfback was a thorn in the Hornet’s side throughout the game. He narrowly missed another 50 yard gain in the se- cond period when he stepped out- side on the 21 yard line after taking a 25 pard jaunt around the left flank. A 15, a 17 and three 10 yard gains were his on other long runs. Eberhard For Lott Eberhardt went in for Lott at the beginning of the second per- iod, and in spite of slippery field dodged through the Lynchburg tackles and around the ends for long gains time and again. The blond halfback made seven gains‘ of more than 10 yards in addition; to acting as field general. Whitei showed his customary steady; ground gaining through guard,' while Faulkner provided the se-5 cond longest clash of the day, when he reeled off 35 yards’ around right end only to be pull-g : ed down by the Lynchburg safe-2 ty man on the 9 yard line. Jones made several nice runs. After Thibodeau had made his spectacular dash in the first few minutes of play, the General of- fense tore Lynchburg’s line to ribbons. A 60 yard march down the field with White and Thibo- deau carrying the brunt of the at- tack netted the Generals an- other touchdown before the end of the first quarter. With the be- ginning of the second period, Washington and Lee again took the offensive. Thrusts through tackle and guard by Thibodeau and Lott put the ball on the 4 yard line after the Generals had secured the oval in mid field. White took it over. Eberhard was then substituted for Lott. Cap- tain Fitzpatrick ran the kickoff back to his own 47 yard marker, and Thibodeau and Eberhard be- gan to drill at the Lynchburg tackles and ends. Both backs broke away consistently for sub- stantial gains until they reached the ll yard line where they shift- ed tactics. With Groop opening yawning gaps, White carried the pigskin over the line in two at- tempts. Lynchburg was off side and the Generals got their first extra point, making the count 2- 0 as the half ended. Change Lineup There were several changes in the Washington and Lee lineup at the end of the rest period. The Generals kicked off to the Hor- nets on the latter’s 10 yard line. On the first play Lynchburg fumbled and Williams recovered for Washington and Lee. Eber- hardt made the touchdown on the first play. Here the General at- tack seemed to lose momentum and several punts were exchangd Taking a kick on his own 40 yard strip, Eberhardt dodged his way back for 22 yards and a first down on the 18 yards line. Thi- bodeau scored the touchdown af- ter three line smashes had put the Generals on the 6 yard mark- er. Coach Herron ran in an entire- ly new line at the beginning of the last quarter with the excep- tion of Captain Fitzpatrick and Snodgrass. The fresh men started a vicious assault on the tired Lynchburg defenders and rolled up three more touchdowns before the end of the game. Eberhardt took the ball over on two occa- sions, while Barnett accounted for the other score. Lineup and summary: W. & L. Lynchburg Williams LE F. Allen Fitzpatrick(C)LT W.

It appears that the professors have been infring- ing on the time which the foot- ball men put in for the glory of their dear old Alma Mater on the field of gore. It seems that the Geology de- partment has been taking the no- ble athletes from their much needed practice on five out of six practice afternoons and hiking them out over the landscape in search of anything they can find and everything they can’t. Last week the instructors par- aded away with seven regulars, including Captain Howe and Ed Wittmer who made so much trou- ble for the Generals last fall, and set them to work digging dicell- ocephali out of the country side. The academic interference has brought dismay and memories to the Princeton student body. Three years ago, Jake Slagle, all-Amer- ican halfback and one of the greatest football players ever pro- duced at the Tiger institution, severly wrenched his knee while ‘chasing paradoxides somewhere in the state of New Jersey and was never quite the same afterwards. The opinion is quite current a- mong, the Princeton football ad- herents that the rock chasing act- ivities of the athletes should be postphoned until after the train- ing season. They base their plea on the fact that the eurypterids, molluscox- dia, etc., have been situated in the surrounding landscape about ten million years, and according to the law of averages they should last until April anyway.

FRESHMEN AT DANCES Rules governing the conduct of freshmen attending Satur- day night’s informal were made public by J. M. Holt, president of the V. C., last night.

If they do not bring a girl they can stay from ten to eleven only. New men, out for the fresh- man football team, who have attended practice regularly for one week preceding the dance, may attend the whole of it. The council wants it clearly un- derstood that men who have . not attended practice .regularly V for the entire week are not in this class. Students Return To Dress Sanity Survey Reveals The university man, who has become the acknowledged oracle in the world of men’s wear, has at last returned to sanity in dress according to recent surveys of three widely-separated leading ed- ucational institutions. Yale University was selected in the north as a typical university in a “university town.” Vander- bilt for the same reason, was chosen as representative of the south. Princeton was selected for a middle ground. The survey of these institutions showed that almost unanimously the students had reverted from the “slouchy” college tendency of recent years to a tidiness and care in dress that was surprising. Gone is the so-called “collegiate” lwith baggy trousers and slouch lhat. g In all colleges, the starch col- llar was found to be so nearly uni- iversal that it appears to consti- itute almost a uniform. The com- lfortable low, pliant starched var- ‘ieties were most in demand in ]both North and south. Extreme cuts in trousers, ab- surd shirt, collar and tie combi- nations and other freakish ef- fects have disappeared. Conser- vative shades were found to be predominant in colored shirts. Small-figured cravats have taken the place of “loud” stripes, and collar pins are receiving a new popularity. The college man, according to one student, realized that he is judged by his habits in clothes as well as in his other practices. He is not attractive to his col- leagues, to the co-eds or to his future employer in silly-looking clothes. That is why he has decided to wear reasonable clothes. m_0:___ AGN OR BROS.

World Series’ To Start Thursday The baseball season is almost over. Both major leagues have concluded their schedules, the St. Louis Cardinals winning the pen- nant in the National League and the New York Yankees fulfilling post-season predictions by captur- ing the flag in the American Lea- gue. Accordingly, these two teams will meet in the world se- ries, beginning Thursday, and in- terest is quite as'intense as in former years. By winning this year’s pennant the Yankees made it three in a row. The Cardinals have been al- most as successful, this being the second time in three years that they have finished in front. Last year they finished second but the year before, under the leadership of the dynamic Rogers Hornsby, they won the pennant and world’s championship accomplishing the latter feat by winning the seven- th and deciding game of the series from the Yanks, whom they will face in the series that starts this week. Last year the Yankees accomplished the unusual by de- feating the Pittsburg Pirates, champions of the National League in four straight games.
