Drinking and Smoking at Dances Come In For Consideration The Honor System in all its phases came in for discussion at the second university assembly of the year held Thursday morning at 11:30 in Doremus gymnasium. The Committee had charge of the program, led by John Bell Towill, President of the Student Body. The assembly was opened with Executive prayer by Dr. Henry Louis Smith. Cheerleader Graham Morison next led the singing of “College Friendships.” In his talk, Towill dwelled at length on the indivi- dual responsibility of the students in keeping the Honor System. Towill read the provision in the constitution dealing with the writ- ing of “cold” checks. Breifly out- lined, they are: a man will be allowed 2-1 hours to make his first “colt” check good; on his second ofiense, he is warned by the'exe- cutive committee and given 24 hours to make his check good; on the third offense he is asked to resign from the University. “A new plan has been worked *'out for the accomodation of stu- dents when away from Lexington,’ Towill stated. “Business houses in nearby cities have been asked by the committee to honor student checks, ‘and they have been sent directories of the student body that they might know whether a man is a bona-fide Washington and Lee student. The executive committee will undertake to ad- vise them of any changes in the directory and has promised to aid them in collection of all “cold” cheeks.” Towill also asked that the tra- dition of speaking not be allowed to lapse, and that old men turn in all freshmen to the V. C. who neglect to obey this rule. Harry Rand, Vice-president of the Student Body, outlined the Dance Regulations placing em- phasis on the rules covering lic- quor drinking. “No one is to take a drink within six hours preceding a dance which means after 4 p. m. Saturday. Intoxicated entrance into the gymnasium and posses- sion of intoxicating licquor in the gymnasium are violations of the Dance Regulations,” he declared. A smoking room will be fitted up for both men and women. This room is to be in Mr. Fletcher’s lecture room according to Rand. Smoking will also be permitted in the basement, but, except for the smoking room, nowhere else in the building. Rand also referred to rules governing conduct after dances, particularly mentioning fraternity houses. , Singing of the “Swing” "by the entire Student Body adjourned the assembly. TQM Students Asked . To Attend C. E. All Washington and Lee stu- dents interested in Christian En- deavor work are invited to at- tend the Christian Endeavor So- ciety at the Presbyterian Church. This society is run and control- led by Washington and Lee stu- dents, and meetings are held every Sunday night at 7:15. Good programs are promised if the stu- dents co-operate with the leaders. A social will be given Friday night, October 12, and: Christian Endeavor members are invited to attend. IVHAT I LIKE BEST Just what do you like best about VVashington and Lee?

Eighty-six students are tak- ing the thirteen courses the school offers in technical newspaper work, libel law, and dramatic criticism. “One reason for our growth,” Professor Roscoe B. Ellard, head of the department, said, “is the help in money and equipment southern newspaper publishers and certain other friends have so generously given the school.” The Lee school, reestablish in 1925, is the outgrowth of the first journalism school in the world which General Robert E. Lee es- tablished on this campus in 1869. The New York Sun, hearing of Lee’s unprecedented undertaking, sent a reporter to Lexington to interview Lee about the school. According to Professor Johnston of the faculty, quoted in the in- terview, November 18, 1869, the purpose General Lee had was: “We do not hope to make men fit for the editorial chair at once, but we do hope to give them as thorough a training as possible in the ways of their profession and to give them as good an edu- cation as possible so they may make better and more cultivated editors. 0 Paul Whiteman and his Colum- bia recording orchestra ,hailed as the originator of symphonic jazz, will appear at the Academy of Music in Lynchburg Tuesday night, October 9. “The King of Jazz,” as he is universally known, gained great fame with his presentation of Gershwin’s “Raphsody in Blue,” the recent semi-classical piece. The orchestration of this num- ber received plaudits from music critics all over the country. 0 Twenty-two cents is the aver- age amount that a Boston Uni- versity student carries with him. according to statistics compiled by asking a number of students how much money they had with them. One wealthy student had $1.67, while a number of his less fortunate brothers had as little as $00.00.

Generals’ Rivals Face Opposition In Weeks’ Gaines Saturday to See All Nine Opponents With Hard_ Games By Mike Leibowitz The football opponents of the 1928 Washington and Lee will meet team sturdy opposition in their games over the week-end. Lynchburg College opens its home season against the Bridge- The Hornets have already been badly beaten twice water Eagles. and since the Bridgewater squad is an untested combine, it is ex- pected that a close game will take place.The Hornets will benefit by the return of Captain Rardin, who was kept out of the W. & L. tilt by an injured shoulder. The Florida ’Gators will open their season against Southern Col- lege on Fleming field. Although the threat that the Mocs are sup- posed to carry is not actually very strong, every care will be taken to avoid over-confidence. Coach Bachman, has been letting up on the practice sessions this week, but has been concentrating on the aerial attack and defense. Rainey‘Cawthon, heavy fullback, has been punting an average of 59 yards in practice, and he is expected to bring the Gators out of some tight holes. Virginia’s varsity faces a dif- ficult task this Saturday, for they meet South Carolina, the con- querors of Chicago. Coach Neale, remembering last year’s game in which the Carolina boys snatched a last minute victory, will spare no efforts to prime his men for the game at Charlottesville. The Gobblers face a scrappy team in the Hampden-Sidney Ti- gers. V. P. I. ran rough-shod over Roanoke College last week, with Peake and Mattox showing to advantage. This contest will serve as a basis of comparison for the pre-season strength of both V. P. I. and V. M. I. The latter team holds a 14-7 decision over the Hampden-Sidney squad. Maryland meets the powerful North Carolina eleven at College Park. The Chapel Hill gridders swamped Wake Forest 65-0 while Maryland defeated Washington College 31-0. Head Coach Curley Byrd has been shifting his men around, trying to find a suitable combination to withstand the at- tack of the Tarheels. Charley Dodson, ‘stellar half-back, has been shifted to end and will start in that position against North Carolina. The curtain raiser of the Ken- tucky schedule will be the Carson- Newman game, which will be in Lexington Saturday. Last week the Wildcats played the Fresh a full length game and buried them 50-O. Alf Portwood, Gilb, and Carrington displayed some fine work as open field runners elud- ing the Kittens safty man sever- al times. The Tennessee Vols will line- up against the Centre Colonels at Knoxville. Maryville was defeat- ed 25-0 last week by the Knox- ville squad while Centre was be- ing drowned by the Kentucky Teachers. The feature of the Tennessee attack was thir pass- ing game which they hope to use successfully against Centre. The West Virginia team meets a strong fee in the Haskell In- dians. The reputation of the In- dians has forced the Mountain- eers to drill daily for the fray. The glamor of an inter-sectional battle will bring a huge crowd to Morgantown to witness the game, and the football stock of the Mountaineers will be boosted con- siderably in case of a victory. The pile-driving backfield plunged through for a 13-0 victory over the West Virginia Wesleyan team last Week. Little Generals Handed Defeat by Youngs Team Imbuai with the fighting spirit of a former General star, the Wil- liam and Mary freshmen yester- day defeated the Little Generals, 12-0 on Wilson field. Cy Young brought his proteges from Williamsburg and gave the Fresh squad of his alma mater a football lesson. Exhibiting a pow- erful aerial attack, the Little In- dians kept the ball well within W. & L. territory for the major part of the game. The speed of the opposing backs was a bright spot of an otherwise listless game. The first W. and M. score came in the second quarter when Mac Mannimann hurled a 40 yard pass to Bauserman, who ran to the one yard line, where he was nailed by Long. On the next play, Maxie, the diminutive quarterback shot through center for the necessary yardage. Long again intercepted the pass for the extra point. Maxie Scores Again The other touchdown came at the very start of the second half when Maxie caught the kick on his own 10 yard line,’ and ran through the entire Washington and Lee team for a touchdown.

Since there is such a great quantity of material a much lar- ger and more active club is hoped for this year by those in charge. Practice will begin Monday or Tuesday of next week. A notice will be posted at the Corner.The practices this year will be held in the Y. M. C. A. room under the direction of Professor John Graham, with Miss Emily Penick as accompanist. There is a new piano in the room which is, it was stated, an improvement over last year. A substitute accompanist is wanted and anyone wanting to try for this position is asked to call Jack Williamson at the Kap- pa Sigma House. The first trip of the year will be to Hollins, where the Glee Clubs of Hollins and Washington and Lee will hold a joint con- cert‘. Later in the year they will present the same concert in Lex- ington. The idea behind the joint concert is to create more interest among the students concerning the Glee Club. ___0__: Keydets Invade Atlanta to Play Golden Tornado The Flying Keydets of V. M. I. will invade one of the strongest football camps in the Southern Conference when they play Geor- gin Tech on Grant Field Satur- day. Coach Bill Raftery is not at all satisfied with the showing that his boys have been maaking and several changes will take place in the line-up. Captain Ab Barnes has been playing up to his usual standard but he has been ham- pered by the failure of his mates. The coaches, have worked the Keydets till dusk trying to iron out the kinks in the offense and defense. V. M. I. is pointing for a better showing than last year when they held the Tech squad to two touchdowns. 0 Four University of Kansas stu- dents were ducked into the swim- ming pool by co-eds recently when they slipped into a “women only” prom, where\ girls were dressed as men. Johnston Names Stall Members Ring-tum Phi Editor Tells New Members of Newspaper Stafff That They Must Work In the masthead of today’s pa- per appear the names of men who have been appointed to positions on this year’s college paper. The Editor, Henry P. Johnston, an- nounced last night that the staff was to remain small and that as soon as freshman tryouts were complete each reporter would be assigned a regular beat, the sys- tem in vogue on all daily papers. He further announced that all “dead heads” would be eliminated and every member of the repor- torial staff would do active work. He further stated that these men had been appointed because they had shown willingness to work and cooperate in every way with the policy of the paper. Peyton R. Harrison, Jr., edi- tor of the RING-TUM PHI in 1927-28 was appointed associate editor, and is to conduct “Gen- eral Gossip,” the new sports fea- ture appearing this year. I. W. Hill and G. N. Lowdon were appointed assistant editors, with R. P. Carter. Hill is con- ducting “By the VVay,” also a new feature appearing this year, while Lowdon and Carter will do special work. J. W. Davis was selected as managing editor with E. E. Mc- Carthy, associate managing edi- tor. M. G. Perrow was chosen as University news editor. Johnston stated that the duty of the Uni- versity news editor resembled that of a city editor on a metropolitan paper—that is, he is directly re- sponsible for the gathering of all general news on the campus. Tom Sugrue was named literary editor, and will be in charge of all book reviews and other literary articles, I.H. Elias and R.E. Bea- ton will take charge of all copy and will be known as copy "edi- tors. Henry MacKenzie was appoint- ed sports editor. C. H. Wilson, George Ashworth and V. C. Jones were made editorial associates. (Continued on page 3) Lexington Barber Traces Evolution Modern Haircut “I believe the Rudolph Valen- tino style of haircut will never go out from among college men.” The speaker, a Lexington bar- ber, was discussing hair styles since the time Paris decreed that women must wear corsets and women decreed that men must de- plete their masculine brow of mops and curls. “You know, we barbers had it nice back in‘the good old ante bellum days. Lets see? Those days ended about 1913, eh? Any- way when a college boy came in- to the shop then he didn’t demand clippers on his neck. If we took a sharp razor and gave the back of his neck a good round shave, then with scissors cut off some of the wool hanging over his ears he was satisfied. “The war changed all that,” the barber lamented, “because about that time the short pompadour became the style.

Doremus all in pected to make In Fulfillment of Spring’s Promise i October Comes With Its Lap Loaded I By Artemus Calloway October, the month of dreamers; the birth month of many dream- ers who have put their dreams into action and furthered the progress of the world, is perhaps the most beautiful month of all the year. This, in spite of the fact that Spring is considered by many as being the most beautiful season of the year, because October, the harvest month, brings the fulfillment of Spring’s glorious promise. That which Spring promised for the year, October hands to mankind with bountiful hands. In this month, as in no other, may one see a thousand colors in the leaves of the forest; in this month, as in no other, does one seem to have a feeling of a task well done. The farmer is able to look about him and see the re- sult of his toil, and to feel that his time was indeed well spent. In no other month does the moon appear to bring such beauty to the earth. Even Opal is Dreamy October’s birthstone, the opal, considered unlucky for all except those born in that month, appears to have a beauty all its own to a greater extent than 51113‘ other stone. There is something dreamy, something that brings dreams in the stone’s many colors, in the manner in which it catches and reflects the sun's golden rays. To many October means only “moving month,” but to countless thousands of others it means beauty. Coming as it does, just at the end of agricultural activities so far as the planting and cultivat- ing in many sections of the coun- try are concerned, in many places it is more or less the end of the year. For this reason countless firms make Oct. 1 the beginning of their fiscal year. It is at this time that important changes are made, plans are gotten under way for improvements and enlarge- ments. Roosevelt Born In Month Among the great Americans who worked to make dreams come true, and they came true, not only for him, but for all America. One of the greatest educators and workers in missionary work among the Chinese, Luella Miner, was born in October. And Gen.William Luther Sibert, Alal:ama’s own, one of the build- ers of the Panama Canal, com mander of troops under Gen. Per- shing in France and builder of the state docks at Mobile, was born in October. And many others, not only some of America’s greatest . . . some of the world’s greatest dreamers and doers, real October dreamers. And that same October, with all its dreamy beauty, with all its gentleness, with all of the year’s glorious promises fulfilled, is with us. Generals Renew Relations Today With N. C. State Hard Test For Generals In First N. C. S. Game in Four Years BLUE & WHITE ATTACK TO MATCH STATE IN AIR Washington and Lee’s Run- ning Attack to Balance Aerial Heaves By Henry MacKenzie The Generals will in their first Southern Conference battle of the 1928 season this af- ternoon when they clash with the Wolfpack of N. C. State on Wil- son Field. Both teams won over- engage whelming victories over smaller colleges last Saturday and are ready to match their skill in the first big game of the year. Although the Generals defeated the Wolfpack in the four previous times the two teams met, they ‘will encounter a stronger Caro- lina team than they have ever played before. N. C .State had a claim to the Southern Conference crown last year becauf-‘c of the fact that thy received only one defeat. Florida, which beat Wash- ington and Lee by the count of 20 to 7, was a1r_::>i1g the VVolf- pack’s victims. his year, however, N. C. State will be minus the ser- vices of l‘.IcDowell, All-Southern triple—threat halfback, and several other stars. Highly Touted‘ The game promises to reveal much open play. The W'olfpack comes to Lexington with a highly touted aerial attack which they used to perfection against Elon last week. Coach Herron has been giving his secondary defense pin- ty of practice throughout this week in an effort to stop the pas- sing of the Carolina team. Washington and Lee will match the overhead game of the Wolf- pack with one of the most dan- gerous running attacks that the Generals have had in several years. The Blue and White will be fur- ther reinforced by the return of Sproul to the lineup. A gad ankle kept him on the side lines throughout the Lynchburg game, but he has been taking part in scrimmages most of this week and has been pronounced fit for ac- tion. He will probably start the game at right end, while Towill will be held on the sidelines in case of emergency. Williams will b on the left flank. Line Strong Little fear is felt for the center of the line.. Captain Fitzpatrick, and Hawkins will look after the tackle jobs, Groop and Seligman are scheduled to play guard, and Snodgrass will pass the ball. The Washington and Lee center re- ceived a severe blow on the shoul- der last wek, and it was feared that he had a cracked collar bone. The ailment proved to be nothing more than a bad bruise, and he was back at practice on Tuesday. Hostetter, Martin, Taylor, and Herb Groop are likely to see ser- vice in the line before the game is over. It is probable that the same backfield which started against the Hornets last week will again open the game today.

AMONG THE BOOKS I With Don Mikel “Jerome,” or “The Latitude of The surgeons passed resolutions Lawrence S. Morris, the Viking Press, N. Y. C. The impenetrable and inexplica- ble phenomenon of love has late- ly been appelated rather quaintly in literature, the latest denoue- ment being John Riddell’s bur- lesque of Samuel Hoffenstein, which includes the astounding de- cision that “love is a kick in the slats.” But as always it remains for the Frenchmen to achieve the heighth of artistic piquancy in this field, and we have M. Mau- rice Bedell doing just that in his novel “Jerome,” recently trans- lated by Lawrence Morris. We are all aware that love is a matter of temperature, but it has remained for M. Bedell to catalogue it in nautical terms, and again we are forced to bow before the ability of our passionate brother in af- fairs of amour, which by the way is a more expressive word than love. “Jerome,” who is our hero, is a French playright who has ach- ieved success at the age of twen- ty-five. He is so completely at the mercy of a too high-powered im- agination that every notion of re- ality that reached this young man’s brain passed first through his heart and there acquired such potentialities that a bunch of grapes, travelling by his path, be- came the song of a girl in Thom- cry, and the fugitive glimpse of a passerby a midnight wedding.” Therefore since Jerome is going to Norway, he falls in love with a young woman of that “latitude of love,” and thereafter employs his powerful and ever servile syn- apses to transform snow, cold, discomfort, materialism, beer, muslin and Woman’s Temperance into Italian breezes, soft lips and red wine, such a process being quite simple foriJerome. Unfortunately Norway is a country where the emancipation of women has advanced to its worst form and the consistency of cold weather has conquered all sentiment and romance in the bosoms of its inhabitants. In Wor- way divorce and freedom are worshipped, and Jerome discovers that the mother of his desired soul-mate has herself exchanged husbands no less than six times, some of them with her best girl- friends. “People get engaged and mar- ry at the first yes, and divorce at the first no.” But Jerome’s imagination con- quers all, and he becomes engag- ed, only to find he is flippantly disengaged by the young athlete herself when he will not permit liberties sacred to marriage dur- ing an engagement, and prefers cyclamen dresses and languid per- fume to boxing, skiing, and morn- ing rubdowns with pungent li- quids. Jerome endures disillusion- ment bravely and finds little trouble in forgetting the beauties of Norway under the influence of a narghileh and the Lena Larson. M. Bedell brings to his work a freshness of humor and zest for the foibles of physical existence which envelopes his pages with a charm slightly reminiscent of Fielding. The conversation be- tween Jerome and Uni is delicate- ly handled, with a sensuousness for situation indicative of high understanding of humor and the human heart. The style of M. Bedell is distin- ctly individual, his ,handling of the theme of youth enslaved by imagination, and his brilliant end- ing leaves no room for criticism. We are left with a pleasant fel- ing of a natural outcome, and with our tongue in our check cannot help but imagine M. Be- dell as wearing a monocle and possessing a Pepsodent smile. “Jerome,” has been received by the Carnegie Library, and is av- ailable to students. hTe young Frenchman is a very pleasant companion, and we are indebted to M. Bedell for this light and finished piece of artistry which is such a relief from the deluge of psychological novels endeavor- ing to plumb the depths of syn- aptical traffic jams and sedenta- ted illusions. “Jeg elsker dig,” which has nothing at all to do with this, ex- cept that it means, “I love you,” in Norwegian.

The medical men declared that if the new fashion prevalent among the co-eds continues, the dignity, virtue and mental state of Canadian young girls is in real peril. ‘ he surgeons passed resolutions which asked the government to prohibit the sale of hip flasks as it already does the sale of dan- gerous firearms, and that liquor advertisements be suppressed.

Gym Enlarged Upstairs To Aid Practice During the past few weeks the upstairs of the Doremus Gym- nasium has been remedied. The changes made will undoubtedly be a great help to the boxing and wrestling teams. The partition which formerly, separated the gymnastic room in which the gym team held its prac-' tices on the parallel bars, .hori- zontal bars and other apparatus, fro mthe running track has been removed and all the space has been turned over to the wrestling team and boxing team. A regu- lation size mat can now be plac- ed there whereas heretofore the space was not large enough. Th boxing room also has been‘ remedled by the building of a permanent ring and also with new punching bags. A room in the basement has been set aside for the heavier punching for the use of the boxing team.

Eberhardt made an impressive showing as a ground-gainer in the opener, and will certainly get a chance to show his speed to the powerful Carolina line. Barnett will get into the game at some time during the after- noon ither as quartrback or full- back. Jones, too will very likely get a chance to show what he has to some real opposition, but Co- hen, the other varsity backfield man on the list, is still having trouble with the knee which he injurd in practice nearly two weeks ago, and will be out of the game for another'week yet. Ends Not Weak The game with Lynchburg re- vealed several important facts on the prospects of the Genrals for this fall, even though it was rath- er one-sided. The work of Towill and Williams on the ends showed that VVashington and Lee is not as weak in these positions as they appear on paper. Charlie Day and Charlie Cocke played an airtight game for the brief period they were on the field, as did the two men who started. The guard positions are also well fortified.In addition to Groop Seligman, veterans, who opened the season on the varsity, Coach Herron has made a find in Mar- tin who played a splendid game for the half in which he took part. Taylor, a converted quarterback has loked good in practice and played a creditable game during the final quarter of last Satur- day’s battle. Herb Groop, sub_sti- tute center, has also been used at guard, and has demonstrated his ability to play that position in an emergency. A shortage of tackles is still the chief worry for Coach Herron. Hawkins and Captain Fitzpatrick can take care of the positions well enough, but when it comes to pro- viding capable alternates, the squad is not so well supplied. Hos- tetter and Tillar have been work- ing at these posts, but both are light for tackles. Tillar looked all right against the Lynchburg line, but the Generals are scheduled to hit teams with powerful men in their forward walls.

Horseplay in Frat Initiation Results In Death of Goat Austin, Tex., Oct. 5—Members of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fra- etrnity at the University of Tex- as decided unanimously Monday to invite a thorough investigation by the school faculty of the death of Nolte McElroy, 19 year Old pledge, by electric shock during fraternity initiation Sunday night. The faculty had not acted on the request, although the board of regents in regular meeting here Monday were considering the promulgation of new regulations concerning fraternity initiantions. District Judge James R. Hamil- ton charged a Grand Jury Monday to investigate the case. District Attorney J. D. Moore, who was called to the scene by the frater- nity Sunday night, said the Grand Jury investigation would be in the nature of a formality. He and Dean V. L. Moore concurred in an expression that McElroy’s death was purely unforseen and acciden- tal. ,. McElroy died at a hospital Sun- day night soon after fainting at the fraternity house when he started to wriggle between two sets of bed-springs charged from a house electric light wire con- nected through a rheostat by which have been used for 15,,years on 184 pledges without ill effects. Four other initiates had gone be- fore McElroy, who had been pro- nounced in excellent condition by a physician examining him and other applicants for places on the football squad. Fraternity members said a full report of the occurrence would be made to the national headquarters at New York in response to a re- quest from there Monday. Young McElroy’s parents arriv- ed here from Houston Monday, dazed by the tragic accident.

Advice; 1 TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Oct. 5.4; On the advice of Dr. George H.' :Denny, president, three Univer-. ‘sity of Alabama students are re—, ported to have left school Tuesday‘ :as a result of a near riot follow-i ling an alleged attempt Monday; ‘night to haze a freshman. ‘ Dr. Denny said Tuesday night that it was his understanding that Joe Spadola, C. J. Carlesimo and. Don Napolitano, alleged ring-lead- ers in the fight, had taken a bus for Birmingham about noon Tues- ‘day. Advised To Leave “I told them in view of the sit- uation I would advise them to leave,” Dr. Denny said, “and they A said they were planning to catch a bus immediately for Birming- harm.” The university president said he had not completed his investiga- tion at that time, but that there probably would be no further de- velopments, as these three stu-‘ dents apparently were the only ones directly involved. All three of the youths were Italians, and had come to the East to attend the University of Ala- bama, They were sophomores. Row Follows Refusal The trouble which precipitated a battle with bricks, bottles and rocks that lasted for almost two hours, is supposed to have started when Sapdola ordered Roy God- win, a freshman from Selma, Ala., to get him a glass of water. Godwin refused according to witnesses, and a fight started. Godwin’s friends came to his res- cue, and later several men took sides with Spadola. Serious Riot Threatened After the fight had been in progress a few minutes between 400 and 500 students gathered until a squadron of policemen dispersed the crowd. The battle started about 10 a.m. at a boarding house where Spa- dola and Godwin were stopping, and continued until after mid- night. No arrests were made, although several students were taken to jail for protection until the dis- turbance was quelled. 0 COTILLION CLUB ELECTS A meeting of the Cotillion Club was held in Newcomb Hall, Mon- day night, for the purpose of el- ecting new members for the com- ing year.

FROSH LEAD EASY LIFE Barber Shop Opposite Rockbridge National Bank HUGH A.

At one of the leading state universities, Freshmen are requir- ed to run between classes, with their pants rolled above their knees and dodge, as best they can, blows from paddles. Another college enforces not only wearing of regulation caps, but green ties as well.

An aged gentleman, speaking with an Irish accent, figured that not every man can smoke a can- didates cigar, procured the Gover- nor’s lighted “butt” in the follow- ing fashion. When Al Smith appeared on the rear platform of his special train he carried an unlighted ci- gar. During the brief welcom- ing he paused in his handshaking long enough to light it and the man with the Irish accent asked for it. “What?” asked Gov. “You’re kidding.” “Never a bit am I,” the man responded, reaching for the cigar, and between puffs he declared: “It’s not every man that can smoke an Al Smith cigar.” ' ———0 he University of Wisconsin stu- dent paper has profited enough to buy its own printing plant, Smith, Extension Courses for County Teachers Extension courses in education and history will be given in Lex- ington this year, as in former years, by the Extension Division of the University of Virginia.

Lee would have found their potential equals among last year’s freshmen ac- cording to “Intelligence Quo- tients” in psychological examina- tions given in Washington and Lee university here, this year’s class shows definitely higher rat- ings. Such is the conclusion Dr. Wil- liam M. Brown, head of the De- partment of psychology, 1135 reached after comparing results of intelligence tests on freshmen for the two years. “We give these tests,” Dr. Brown explained, “to get a line on the student mentally. We have other ways of learning about him, physically, morally, and scholastically.” “It is to be expected that there will be a much smaller percentage of failures from this year’s fresh- men than any class which has en- tered the university in recent years.” Dr. Brown said. “Arthur Brisbane ‘is a famous actor—A Zula has four legs— Boston is in Connecticut—Ply- mouth Rock is a type of granite,” and other answers proving de- plorable ignorance for a man of college age were not lacking, however. —3q Lexington Barber Traces Haircut (Continued from page one) straight up.

Sharp sideburns, no clip- pers on the side of the head, and long hair on top greased straight back, were the essentials of the Valentino style. It took the coun- try by storm. We barbers had to leai'n it. “This year we still have for a foundation the Volentino style, but with a few modifications. You notice the fellows part their hair more than they did a few years ago. Valentino carried his hair slicked straight back. That style is still, and always will be, I think, our model, but of course variations creep in.” 0 Tunney Endorses Governor Smith Gene Tunney, retired heavy- weight champion of the world, de- clared himself on Monday as fav- oring the candidacy of Alfred E. Smith for the presidency of the United States. In a cablegram to John J. Ras- kob, Democratic national chair- man Tunney stated that he was “anxious to help in every way possible to make Gov. Smith the next president.” The retired pugilist is another of the luminaries of the sport world who has publicly declared himself in favor of the Gover- nor’s candidacy. ___0&____ Notre Dame statistics show that the students in the college of law maintained the highest average grades and ‘made the fewest grades below 70.

Little Generals Handed Defeat by Young’s Team (Continued from page 1) Maxie had to use every trick he knew to elude the General’s saf- ety man. The attempt for the ex- tra point went wide of the posts. The Blue line functioned well but their efforts were for naught with the failure of the backfield to pierce the Little Indians’ for- ward wall. Smith got off to some beautifuls runs, but continuou fumbling offset any gains that the Little Generals made. Passes Fail In the last quarter, Guyol and Smith carried the ball through the center of the W. & L. line for three first downs, but as soon as they got within scoring dis- tance, the ball was lost on a fumble. The Blue eleven‘ tried desperately to score in the clos- ing minutes of play, throwing a number of forward passes, only one of which was successful. William and Mary far outclass- ed the home boys in the kicking department. MacManimann did some good booting for the Little Indians, and Dyer and Bauser- mann, the wingmen, were down under every kick. The right side of the W. & L. line played a good game, holding the Indian backs in check.

CLOTHIER Interior Decorator Open Day and Night Game Wardens Take Tests Dr. Brown ‘Gives Wardens Same Tests W. & L. Fresh- men Take Seventy-five game wardens of eastern Virginia took the same in- telligence tests that annually are given to incoming freshmen of Washington and Lee university. Dr. William M. Brown, head of the Department of Psychology, supervised the tests in Richmond recently. This is the first time a state has utilized psychological exam- inations for rating game wardens, Dr. Brown says. These ratings are conducted now chiefly for ex- perimental purposes; and results will not materially affect a war- den’s standing with the state game and fish commission. The Western Division of State wardens will be given tests this spring, probably in Roanoke, if the system is perfected by that time, Dr. Brown explained. The idea of psychologically rat- ing game wardens came from Major A. Willis Robertson, State Game and Fish Commissioner, who observed how useful these tests were to the government dur- ing the late war and at Washing- ton and Lee where they have been used five years. __.____0______ Debate Tryouts To Start Soon Preliminary work on Washing- ton and Lee debate subjects will start soon, Professor Marvin G. Bauer, debate coach, said last night, in issuing a call for a de- bating tryout. The squads method will be used this year, and Mr. Bauer intends to form these groups in a short time. He has asked that all men interested in debating see him in room 304 Newcomb hall, at any time during the day. Oxford, Princeton, Harvard, and the Chicago Kent school of law will be opponents of the Washing- ton and Lee team this year. Tennessee Coach Uses Unique W uy To End Fumbling Coach Neyland of the Univer- sity of Tennessee Volunteers is determined to break up all fumb- ling in his backfield this season. Neither veteran stars or new flashes behind the line will be exempt. Coach Neyland kept care- ful tab on his backfield’s action in the opening game of the year against Maryville last Saturday, and singled out his two new stars, Dodd and, McEver as the worst “butterfingers” in the array of ball-carrying talent which he used. As’ a result, both of these men appeared on the Tennessee cam- pus Monday morning with foot- balls tucked under their arms. Both'haVe orders to lug the pig- skins to every class, picture show, and wherever else they go for a whole week in order that they may become completely familiar with lines, shap, material ,and other peculiarities of a football. Coach Neyland guesses that if his men learn how to hold a football for a whole week, there is no ex- cuse for their losing control of it for one hour on Saturday af- ternoon. _:__0_ The women’s dormitories at the University of Wisconsin have de- vised a plan of exchanging fifty guests for Sunday dinner with the men’s dormitories. __._()___.___ Haverford ‘College is continuing the unlimited cut system at the institution for another semester.
