NUMBER 12 Dance and Game On Homecoming To Draw Alumni Old Grads to Return Here 5 By Hundreds; Plans Are Laid V. P. I. GAME BIG ATTRACTION OF DAY Game With Virginia Poly Gobblers Called For 2:30 P. M. "I. . By George Ashworth “Hello there Jim—What do you say Harry? Well I’ll be darned,T \}pu’re gettin’ fat boy! How's all f the crowd in Lynchburg now Bob? I haven’t heard a word-—Say boy what you been doin’ since the old class of ’09 split to the four winds?” Homecoming day! November. Hundreds of Washington and Lee graduates shaking hands, bulling, and renewing past acquaintances. It’s the day when minds turn back to the days when football, dances, classes, and weekend trips were the important factors of life, in- stead of the insurance business, , or where the money will come from to put the son through the university. Alumni Entertained It’s Alumni Day and plenty of entertainment is going to be pro- vided. Of course the big feature is the game on Wilson field, when the Generals will meet the team from V. P. I. and try hard to wipe away the stain of last year’s defeat. Temporary stands will be put up to take care of the expect- ed crowds, and the band will be on hand to make the game a musical success, and in between halves will lead an Alumni parade. The Monogram Club is sponsor- ing an informal dance that night in the Doremus gymnasium. The proceeds go to the sweater fund. Music will be provided by the Southern Collegians twelve piece band, and if they play as well as they did in Charleston nothing more could be asked.The crowd at Charleston went crazy ‘over the« Collegians according to reports re- ceived from those present. One lady was heard to ask Graham Morison, “Please play that slow drag again, honey. The gang just loves it!” 9 Annual Meeting Entertainment will be provid- ed throughout the day of the 17th At 10:00 A.M. in the Alumni building there will be the annual meeting of the Alumni Associa- tion, Inc. At 11:30 the students and Alumni will assemble to- gether in the Doremus gumnas- ium. A luncheon will be given by the University to the Alumni, their families and friends at 1 p.m Then comes the game at 2.30 and after that an informal supper in the Dining Hall at 6:30. At 9:30 the dance in the Doremus gym- nasium will wind up the program of festivities officially, but there is no time limit on the bull ses- sions. Double Attractions With excellent bus service from Lynchburg, Roanoke, Staunton, and Buena Vista to bring the train-traveling Alumni in, and paved roads to bring the motor- ists, a large crowd is expected to be drawn by the double attrac- tion of a good game and a good dance. —:-0 Greenbriar M. A. Next Opponent Little General: Coach E. P. Davis has his Freshman football squad getting in shape for the game Saturday against Greenbriar Military Aca- demy at Lewisburg, West Vir- ginia. He gave the whole squad a fairly hard workout Monday. The first team had‘ tackling drill and signal practice while the se- cond and third teams scrimmaged most of the afternoon. Practice was called off Tuesday because of rain. The rest of the time this week will be devoted to scrim- mages an correction of faults brought o n the V. P. I. game. LIBRARIAN INITIATES NEW FICTION SERVICE Miss Blanche McCrum, the librarian, seeing the desire of students for new fiction imme- diately upon publication, has "inaugurated a special service for students only. All new books in current literature, ex- cept reference books, will be placed on a series of shelves to the right of the dor. Coan Tells Men In Gral1am- Lee To Use Leisure Prof. Advises Literary So- ciety Members to Utilize Their Spare Time A plea to members of the Gra- ham-Lee literary society to use their leisure time in acquiring the worth-while things of life was made at the weekly meeting last Saturday by Professor William Coan of the Commerce School. Mr. Coan in his discussion of “Appreciation of Art and Music,” urged members of the society to devote their leisure time and sur- plus energy in acquiring culture. “The first step toward under- standing art or music is to recog- nize it as one of the conditions of life. The actor is order to put over his part to -the audience must imagine he is going through the experience and convey it by means of jesture and vocal inflection,” the speaker said. “So must the artist convey by means of lines, colors and tints, emotions receiv- ed from sounds and words of men.” Coan On Leisure Mr. Coan then turned to the subject of leisure. “We Americans have a great deal of leisure. But the question arises how to use it. Are we to use it in consuming a great over production of things badly made, that are shoddy, ugly, vulgar, and ostentations? In the jungles of Java, Iidia and Yuca- tan we can find vast structures; in Egypt, great pyramids; in Rome, great roads and viaducts. All the results of surplus ener- gy_n “Shall we spend our surplus time and energy in movies and popular magazines, that stress and exploit life’s crudest impulses?” The speaker then made his plea for use of leisure in acquiring the finer things of life. Other speakers on the program were: Norman Hawes and H. B. Busold. Hawes spoke on “Women” and deplored the lack of contact between the sexes. Busold dis- cussed “The Influence of the Naturalized Foreigner in Ameri- ca.” _____._o_____ Band Will Go To Va., Md. Games; To Award Keys Two trips will be taken by the Washington and Lee University band this year. The first trip will be taken November 3 to Char- lottesville for the Virginia game. The second will be to Washington when Washington and Lee plays the University of Maryland Nov- ember 24. This announcement made today by H. S. Slanker, director of the band. No definite arrangements for transportation have been made but it is expected the band will ride the special train to Char- lottesville, Slanker said. The band will probably take busses to Washington. New uniforms have been or- dered for '70. Rehearsals are be- ing held regularly twice a week. On Wednesdays marching prac- tices are held in front of Doremus gymnasium. Attendance and inter- est by members has been unusual. Keys will be awarded to those members of the band who have good attendance records and make the trips, it has been decided. The keys will consist of a small “W & L” on a lyre. ___..__._o:_ Paul M. Penick, university treasurer, who has beengconfined to his bed for several days suf- fering from injuries received in an accident last week, was up for ‘the first time Tuesday. . Captain Keefer, 0V€1' ' Generals Are Overwhelmed by West Va. 22 to 0 13,000 See Gold and Blue Sweep W. & L. Off It’s Feet; Stumpp Stars TEAM FACED HARDEST BACKFIELD OF YEAR Fitzpatrick and Williams Are Out For Injuries; Were Severely Missed By Mike Leibowitz A giant Gold and Blue wave Stumpp, and Glenn riding its crest, rolled over the Washington and Lee Generals at Charleston, Saturday and de- luged them under a score of 22-0. Before the largest crowd ever to watch a West-Virginia-Wash- ington and Lee game ,the Moun- taineers and the Generals came to grips on historic Laidley Field in Charleston. The estimated at- tendance was 13,000. Any doubt as to the cause of their victory over the Pitt Pan- thers was dispelled by the exhi- bition that thc Mountaineers put up in Saturday’s fray. From the opening play, the Mountaineer backfield started their drive at the Blue line and when the smoke had cleared three touchdowns and a safety had been scored while the valiant efforts of the Generals to push over a tally went for naught. First Quarter Good The Generals put up a good bat- tle in the opening quarter and held the Morgantown eleven at bay. The Blue team played heads- up football and by taking advan- tage of several Mountaineer mis- plays, prevented a score in the first period. Three times in the initial fifteen minutes of play, the Mountaineers menaced the Wash- ington and Lee goal but two fum- bles and an intercepted pass gave the Blue and White a chance to punt out of danger for the time. Early in the second quarter, Stumpp broke through the center of the line for 22 yards, placing (Continued on page three) ?:0~___ Students Make Needless Trips To Post Office A survey of the number of Washington and Lee men entering the post office daily, reveals the surprising fact that approximate- ly 8,000 student feet tramp up the steps, and 8,000 student eyes peer into the boxes form the time the office opens at 7 o’clock in the morning until it closes at 10:30 each night. When four times the number of the student body go to the post office each day, it is evident that many of these trips must be unnecessary, due to lack of know- ledge on the part of students as to what time difierent mails are put up. Each of these 4,000 men may save himself needless trips if he is sure of the time mail from his section of the country is put in the baxes. For men living in the north, mail is put up five times daily; at 9 A. M.; 9:45 A. M.; 3 P. M.; 6:45 P. M.; and 8 P. M. Western mail is boxed four times each day; 9:45 A. M.; 1:45 P. M.; 7 P. M.; and 8 P. M. Mail from the east is placed in the boxes only twice daily; at 9 A. M.; and 8 P. M. Southern mail is also put up twice a day; 9 A. M. and 8 P. M. When mailing a letter it will depart as follows: Northern mail leaves Lexington at 6.50 a.m.; 8:55 a.m.; 10:05 a.m.; 4:45 p.m.; and at 6 p.m. Letters to the west- ern states leave at 6:50 a.m.; and 6 p.m. Southern mail goes out at Mail to the east leaves at 9 a.m.; 10:05 a.m.; 1 p.m.; and 4:45 p.m. 10:05; a.m.; 4;45 p.m.; and 6 p.m. —————0———————- .

BLUE PENCIL CLUB EDITS ANOTHER ISSUE This issue of the RING-TUM PHI is being published by the Lee Blue Pencil Club, local pro- fessional journalistic fraternity which is petitioning Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic fraternity. The writing, editing, and make-up work has been done entirely by members of the Blue Pencil Club, through the kind co-operation of the RING- TUM PHI editor and staff. Smith Recovers From Accident ln Scrimmage Ed Smith, W.&L. Athlete, Improving From Injury Received Mon. The condition of Ed. Smith, in- jured football player, was report- ed as greatly improved this af- ternoon by authorities of the Stonewall Jackson Memorial hos- pital here. The injury he suffer- ed to his eyes when he was tack- led in a football scrimmage Mon- day has so improved that attend- ing doctors hold out hopes for a complete and rapid recovery. Smith was playing halfback on the second team in a scrimmage with the third team when a hard tackle jarred him. He ran two more plays and then lost his sense of direction,running the wrong way. It was thought that he had suffered a concussion of the brain that had paralyzed his optic nerves. Tuesday he could see out of one eye, and today could see with both. FrosEEle;1T Defeats Little Gobblers 12-0 Teams Evenly Matched Fum- bles Prove Costly To Tech; Mattox Stars The “Little Generals” football eleven registered their first vic- tory of the season Friday after- noon when they defeated the V. P. I. fresh in Miles Stadium in Blacksburg. The victory was Won by the Lit- tle Generals mainly through their ability to take advantage of the breaks.The two elevens were ev- enly matched in battle which last- ed two hours and in which there were few thrills which brought the crowd to its feet. Both scores made by the Little Generals came as direct results of fumbles by the Tech team. The first score came in the first half as a result of a fumble by a Tech back who was attempting to run out of the Tech territory where the ball was on the 25 yd. line. Mattox, W. & L. halfback scooped it up and ran across the goal line. The try for point was blocked. Later in the half Hard- wick and Otley, Tech backs, threatened to break away but were held for only small gains. The second half opened with line smashing attacks by both elevens with Mitchell, Little Gen- eral full back, making consistent gains. In the closing minutes of play, with darkness covering the field and Tech making a desperate at- tempt to score, a Tech back fum- bled behind the goal line and Til- son Little General captain fell on (Continued on page three) _+__._o_._..__ Public Speaking Becomes Popular The number of students enroll- ed in public speaking courses in- dicates an increase of more than one hundred per cent over the enrollment last year. Professor M. G. Bauer attri- butes this increase to the enliven- ed interest in debating during last year and to the fact that stu- dents have had an opportunity to become familiar with public speaking. Two Virginia state oratorical contests were won by students in these courses last year, H. M. Platt and J. B. Clower, '28. Officers and New Men Named For Ribbon Clubs Beville and Ladd. Named Presidents of Campus _ Societies 17 MEN CHOSEN . BY EACH SOCIETY New Men Passed On; Drawn From 17 Frat- ernities P. D. Beville and G. R. Ladd, Jr. were elected presidents of White “Friars and Pan, respectively, for the current year, last night at the first annual meeting of the two ribbon societies. Other officers elected were: Henry P. Johnston and Hank Slanker, vice-president of White Friar and Pan, respec- tively; and W. C. Sugg and T. L. Bauer, secretary-treasurer of White Friar and Pan, respective- ly. Seventeen new men were se- lected for each seventeen national fraternities in the organizations. As in former years new members of White Friar will wear green hats and green handkerchiefs, while Pan goats will be required to wear red hats and red handkerchiefs. Must Coo-Coo White Friar pledges will be re- quired to coo-coo in front of the main door of Washington college and “sound-off” whenever request- ed by an old member.The goats will also be required to tell the‘ time of day. Pan goats will be required to skip to and from all classes while on the campus and also “sound off” whenever directed by an old member. . Whether the pledges of the two ribbon societies will be re- ‘quired to pull stunts at the V. P. 1. game has not been decided. This was a yearly custom until last year when the two clubs de- cided to discontinue the “shines” for at least a year if not inde- finitely. 34 New Men The seventeen men pledging White Friar are: Harry Burn; A. C. Conway; W. H. Fields; G. A. Fleece; R. B. Gautier; H. C. Lawder; F S. Hanna; A. M. Har- vey; H. B. Heaps; J. I. Hender- N. C. Mellon; H W. MacKenzie; son; G. H. Jenkins; R. L. Malone; G. N.

Game Over 600 seats have been re- served in Lambeth field for a _Washington and Lee cheering sec- tion at the Virginia game. H. Gra- ham Morison, head cheer leader, stated that seats for 260 fresh- men would form the nucleus for the cheering section, and that ar- rangements would be made for directing the fresh to these seats. A rally will be held the week of the game, prolably, Friday, Mor- ison added. This will be compul- sory for freshmen. The band will be present, songs and cheers will be practised and a number of speakers will address the rally. Morison hopes to have some of the football stars of past years to give short talks. All students are urged to at- tend the rally. Morison said, “I should like everyone to turn out. We need organized cheering in or- der to get behind the team, and if all the students come to the rally, and follow the cheers at the game, we will have a cheering section of which we can be proud.” .___oj_.

Game Results Will Come By Direct Wire; Students Urged To Attend The grid-graph will be oper- ated in Doremus gymnasium next Saturday afternoon when the Gen- erals pjlay Tennessee at Knox- ville. A large crowd is expected to attend and cheer for the team. Captain Dick Smith said that there would be no special train to Knoxville this year. The rooters who are unable to follow the team will be given a chance to cheer under the supervision of a cheerleader. A direct wire has been secured from the Western Union by Louis Pawell, junior manager of foot- ball, assuring a rapid and accur- ate play by play description of the game. The same system was used for the Kentucky game. The charge for general admis- sion will be 35 cents. The pass- boks issued to students will not be used for the grid-graph. Pro- ceeds of this showing will go to the Athletic Association. QT Local Pastor‘ To Lead Delegation Church Conclave Dr. Eugene B. Jackson, pastor of Manly Memorial Baptist church will head a delegation of stu- dents from Washington and Lee to Danville on Thursday where they will atend a Baptist Student conference to be held from Oct- ober 26, to October 28. The con- ference is one of a series being held over the country and is pro- moted jointly by a state student committee and the Inter-board Commission of the Southern Bapt ist church. Delegates from the schools and colleges of Virginia and Mary- land will atend the convention Averett College, at Danville will be the host. A large number of delegates is expected. Dr. Jackson will deliver an ad- dress at the conference, the sub- ject of his talk to be “Some Dan- ger Points in Student Life.” Over five students are expected to go to the conference from Washington and Lee. In addi- tion to this delegation the cadets from V. M. I. are sending repre- sentatives. John Nelson will head the stu-' dent delegation from Washington and Lee. All who wish to go to this conference are requested to see him. *0 Lost and Found Service at YMCA A request to all students to co- operate with the YMCA in mak- ing the lost and found department one of the most useful depart- ments on the campus was made today by C. H. Patterson, secre- tary of the organization. Fifteen students have reported lost articles to the department this year and only a few articles have been reported found. Finders of lost articles are asked to no- tify the secretary. Herron Shifts Players For Volunteer-General Contest Herron’s Men Have Oppor- tunity to Upset Undefeat- ed Vols In Knoxville FAULKNER, H. GROOP PLACED END BERTHS New Combination Expected To Strengthen Washington and Lee Considerably The Washington and Lee Gen- erals will meet the Tennessee Vols at Knoxville this Saturday for the first time in gridiron history. There is no glamour of a his- toric background attached to this clash, no reminisences of football heroes of past games and there are no defeats to be avenged nor winning streaks to be perpetuated. Both elevens will be faced with the task of making a favorable start and from past performances it appears that the Vols have the decided edge. Two Victories Tennessee has already played two conference games and won them both, defeating Mississippi, 13-12, and downing the Crimson Tide, 15-13. The noteworthy fact of these victories is that Tenne- ssee got the jump in both games and withheld the drives of their opponents in the latter half of the game. In the Alabama game, Eugene McEver, hard-running sophomore fullback, twisted and squirmed ninety-eight yards from kick- off for a touchdown. At the beginning of the season Washington and Lee was hailed as one of the best in the South- ern Conference, but a jinx in the form of injuries to several veter- ans has blasted away the founda- tions upon which the Generals hoped to build their championship aspirations. The season is far from a failure, and with the South Atlantic championship before it, the Gen- erals have their opportunity to brace and go through the ‘re- mainder of the schedule in the identical way they began it. Coach Pat Herron- has accomplished a Herculean task by building up a team with the lack of reserves, so necessary for a successful sea- son. Coach Pat Herron realizes that his wingmen are a weak part of the team and in the practice held yesterday, he had several new men playing varsity posts, and the combination that he lined up as Team “A” appeared excep- tionally powerful. Herb Groop, who has been play- ing at reserve center for the past four games was shifted to left end and Johnnie Faulkner, var- sity quarterback was shifted to right end. Barnett took Faulkners’ job and the rest of the backfield was Lott, Thibodeau and White. The combination of Groop and Faulk- ner, may not start against Ten- nessee but the chances are more than certain that Herron will so shift his team around that a reg- ular backfield man takes one of the end positions. Plenty of Backs There is a wealth of backfield material and they are all evenly (Continued on page four) ____.0_T_ Who’s Who On The Campus Harry C.

The Generals have already popped one surprise in severly defeating N. C. State and may be counted on to do the same thing 1 again. The same team should be back on the field soon and when it starts rolling it may cause trouble. With the schedule laid_out the team will have plenty of opportunity to throw the monkey wrench into the Southern Confer-. ence. Saturday they could complicate mat- ters considerably by defeating Tenessee, ‘ and on the following Saturday should get a good start for the state title by defeat- ing Virginia. A victory over Princeton would give them national repute. By defeat- ing Florida on Thanksgiving Day they will bring joy into the hearts of Washington and Lee’s alumni in that state and may earn the distinction of being the only school to defeat the ’Gators this season. The Generals have plenty of opportuni- ties left to again make football followers say “Watch Those Generals.” __j()_j SIXTY STUDENT PRISONERS “Sixty_ Venezuelan students charged by the government with conducting political agitation, have been supplied with picks and shovels and put to work repairing roads near Caracas,” says a South American dis- patch. In commenting on the arrests Gen- eral Gomez said, “If these students can’t keep their minds on their lessons, we’ll show them what work means.” What would be the result if the United States government should pass such an edict against student “politicing” in the midst of our present campaign? Of course it would be impossible to imprison all the of- fenders, for nearly every college student in the country is interested in the presidential campaign. College editors have not been at all backward in expressing their opinions on the issues and some professors have even taken an active interest in party dis- putes. , . - To Americans this is a healthy sign. It indicates that the educated class, the class best fitted to govern, istaking its place. It ‘is a sign that democracy will continue to exist and will probably be more successful in the future. .

The former president has signified his intention of once more visit- ing the campus before he decides to either accept or reject the recently proffered pres- idency. His reactions while here will probab- ly govern his decision. If Doctor Denny comes to Lexington ex- pecting to find the University the same as it was in 1912, his expectations will prob- ably be filled. Fundamentally the school has changed little in the sixteen years that have passed. Doctor Denny will find the Univer- sity has grown in size, he will find it offers more courses of study and is more of ’ a university, he will find itipossesses a num- ber of new buildings; but its real charms and attractions he will find neither changed nor gone. . .- 1 K The same traditions, the same student b0dy..spirit, which prevailed when he was president continue to exist, alumni tell us. Thegsame lure of white columned build- ing. and the quaint, historic, ivy covered he will find «them preserved. If his ‘decision depends on them we feel sure he’ will be the next president of Washington and Lee. . O___j_____ THE “NOISY MINORITY” Now that the universities and colleges have opened again, we are being deluged: with unauthenticated and baseless reportsl of drinking by the student bodies, emanat-; ing, as usual, from apochrypal sources and} unsupported by tangible evidence. At inter-1 uinely interested in the youth of the land, takes the trouble to run down and squelch tivities are given all too little publicity-and There is and always has been some as men, undoubtedly is true in rare in- fined to what the Cincinnati Y. M. C. A. iii- vestigators of the matter aptly term as the “noisy minority”. These same investigators also report that an exhaustive survey shows l beyond pre-adventure that no boy or girl student who is a recognized leader in schol- astic, social or athletic activities in the schools covered is a flask carrier. All institutions with large enrollments draw from a wide variety of homes and it is inevitable that a few of these homes should produce the type of youth known career as a lark and as relief from what- ever parental discipline they may have been made to endure. The vast majority of Am- erican college students, however, are clean- living and clean-thinking, with serious am- bitions and wholesome outlooks.—Columbus Evening Dispatch. . 0 5 ning.

And with it comes the football, boxing, wrestling, and cross-coun- try seasons. At some future date a committee will meet to award our» varsity gridiron representa- tives major spoft monograms. This is altogether fitting and pro- per, for they will have been earn- ed by diidgent attention to prac- tice and by skillful play afield. But at this same ‘committee meeting, men in other branches of fall activities, who have prac- ticed hard’ and, in many instances longer than the football team, will be given minor sport letters.

Nineteen students answered the first call for debaters and started preparation on the subject: Re- solved: National Advertising is both socially and harmful.This will. be the subject fora debate with Princeton Uni- versity here. A tentative date for the debate was set on April 8. Announcement was also made at the meeting that the schedul- ed debate with Oxford university during the latter part of Novem- ber has been cancelled. - Following the meeting Mr. Bauer‘ issued a call to all other men interested in debating the subject. 5, _____0_____ Hard Workouts Still ' on Program Coach Mathis has been giving his varsity wrestling squad a stiff workout the past few weeks, in an effort to get his men into good fall condition. Workouts are held three nights a week.

On two successive downs, the Generals held but a fifteen yard penalty that placed the oval on the one yard strip, enabled the Mountaineers to score, Captain Keefer plunging over right guard for the tally.‘ The at- tempt for the extra point went wide of the .posts. ’ Another Score A few minutes later, after Stumpp and Bartug had advanced the ball from mid-field by several thrusts at the wings, a pass from Stumpp to Bartug was completed for twenty yards and another touchdown. Glenn kicked goal from placement. > On an exchange of punts, the Gold and Blue took possession of the ball on the 30 -yard line. A plunge through center by Keefer gained nine yards and a try by Stumpp at the right flank netted first down and put the ball on‘ the 19 yard marker. On a sweep-l, Bartug eluded several tacklers and scored again. Glenn kicking goal from placement. Thibodeau Scores Safety The safety was scored when Washington and Lee took the ball on its own five yard line, and‘ Thibodeau in attempting to punt‘ out of danger stepped back into the end zones and scored an au- tomatic safety for West Virginia. The Generals tried desperately‘ to score but the line plunging abi- lity of the Mountaineer backs pre- vented a score. The Washington‘ and Lee line playing desperately, opening holes in the opposing wall wall, but the West Virginia backs would promptly proceed to close any breaks in the line. The Blue and White thrusts at the flanks were smeared with monotonous regularity. The op- posing tackles and ends sifted in and nailed the General ball-car- rier behind the line of scrimmage. The Washington and Lee team took to punting on the first down. finding themselves unable to make any headway in line-plays. Faulk- ner got off some good punts, but the Blue wingmen were cut down before they could get to the run- ner. Only Two Firsts The completeness of the Moun- taineer victory can best be seen when it is discovered that Wash- ington and Lee had the ball in op- posing territory but once and made but two first downs against the Mountaineer defense. A 26 yard pass from Lott to Sproul put the Generals in pos- session of the ball on West Vir- ginia 43 yard line, the closest they got to the Blue and Gold line. The West Virginia offense “Stumpped” the attempts of the Generals’ offense to stem the mounting score. Every time this‘ hard running sophomore would carry the ball, he would speed around the ends or cut-back thru i tackle for heavy gains. On one oc-ll casion he reversed his field twice; and eluded his tacklers for a 20 yard gain. Poor Tackling The one fault of the Generals‘ defense that cropped up through-1 out the game was their inability, to tackle surely .The linemen Would get through several times but the runner would break away: from them. The alertness of the Blue backs prevented the Mountaineer ball- toters getting off for longer runs. Thibodeau and "Lott made some Vicious tackles in the backfild.

GENERAL Gossip Several results have already accrued from the decisive drubbing the Generals received at the hands of West Virginia at Charleston Saturday. Not considering for the time being the shifts within the Blue and White machine, look at the outside complications. Sports observors who had checked on the W. and L. team and its victories over Lynchburg and N. C. State, the latter undefeated in the Southern‘Conference in 1927, hailed the local eleven as the “dark horse” of the tri-state area, and possibly of the entire South. Then came the loss to Kentucky, a surprise to most people. However, the Wildcats have one of themost formidable teams they have sent on the field in recent years, and one that any team can well boast of beating if /successful. West Virginia, after losing to Davis-Elkins,_ has come back, and East now. A loss to them is no is rated as one of the best in the disgrace, and it is only the kind of football the Generals exhibited while losing that displeases their followers. At present, no sports writer dares pick the Blue and White for honors, state or sectional, and yet all the while not an article is written without mentioning the local team as a “possibility.” The Generals have the dope mixed, and no. one will predict what they will do in» the games to come; Regardless of the showing to date, a good chance yetremains for the state and South Atlantic titles. Virginia has been downed by V. M. I. and has yet to play the Generals, V. P. I., and North Caro-~ lina; Virginia Poly had downed North Carolina, but has Maryland and the remainder of the Big Four yet to battle. The Generals have downed N. C. State decisively, but have Virginia, V. P. I., and Maryland" looming as hurdles in their path to honors. On diagnosis, Virginia Military Institute appears to have the. easiest path to, tread, having only Mary- land and V. P. I. left as opponents in the group under dis-_ cussion. ‘ ~ V..M.

V. P. I. should have little trouble with King College, which is met this week preparatory to the Gobblers’ four 'consecutivc games with South Atlantic rivals. Virginia will lose to Vanderbilt unless Curley Neale pulls a miracle play and the Vandy gridders lie down and let themselves be toyed with. On paper and on records this year and last the Vols should win over the Generals by a comfortable margin. Those who know the workings of the Herron mind, however. are not nodding assent to‘ these predictions with final conviction, although admitting their‘ logic. The shifts in line-up, changing men from their accustomed places to new posts which need strengthening, and grinding drills of the week, and the apparent dissatisfaction with the play against West Virginia, breathe uncertainty into Saturday. the outcome of the Knoxville game It is believed that the Generals will send their full avail- able force against the Vols. The latter last year hung up six or seven touchdowns against a motley Virginia crew the week befor'e the Generals-Cavalier clash, but it is believed that Neale will drive his regulars against Vanderbilt Satur- day in an effort to retrieve the high standing which he gained at the hands of Princeton and week against V.

The contention that if Leigh Williams and Captain Fitzpatrick played, the score would have been closer and possibly another result experienced, has its merits, but Coach Pat Herron was faced with the task of preventing further in- jury to two of his stars and he elected to keep them on the bench. The team is far from despon- dent over their showing against West Virginia, and on the con- trary feel that they have lost all the games they will lose this year. J. Towill is back in uniform and if Leigh Williams is fit for action this week, the same team that opposed the Wolfpack will line up against the Vols. Lineup and summary: W. Va. (22) Pos.

Faulkner has been running most of the interference during the past games, being a hard and sure tackler, and at one of the end posts, he should prove to be a hoo- doc to the Tennessee ground-gain- ing plans. Throughout the game, Alabama was forced to take the defensive, except for one or two occasions when their offensive drives fell short of the mark. This same significant fact ap- pears in the Washington and Lee games. In the games that the Generals have won, they forced the opponents on the defensive at the opening play and managed to keep them there for the remain- der of the game. Had The Jump In the Kentucky game, the Wildcats had the jump on the Generals and kept it until the score had been pushed over.There is no denying that the Mountain- eers didn’t start their offensive at the initial play. The Generals had the ball on few occasions and when they had possession of the oval they could not advance it farther than the West Virginia 43 yard line. ' The Generals will face the Vols with practically the same team that defeated the Wolfpack. Whe- ther or not Leigh Williams will start is a matter of conjecture. The injury to his arch is not en- tirely healed and Coach Pat Her- ron may decide to withhold his star wingman for another week. The Generals will have a golden opportunity to secure fame and football prestige for themselves by a victory against Tennessee. Unquestionably a better team will face the Vols than met the Moun- taineers. Pat Herron will work all the listlessness out of his men during the week’s practices and it is not improbable that Wash- ington and Lee will more than hold it’s own against Tennessee. Lose Admirers The manner in which the team played last week has turned some of the admirers into pessimists, but those who have kept close tabs on them believe that the Gen- erals will again show the drive that beat Carolina. In Herfron’s plan of attack, the tackles go down on punts, but Faulkner is faster than the line- men and a harder tackler, and the weakness of the Generals in this department of play should be re- moved. Herb Groop is fast and built close to the ground. He has had experience in messing up line- plays at center, and he should take care of any thrusts around his side (if the line.

Accumulated rust and corrosion of fifteen years made the old line burst when the steam was turned during the cold snap late in Eep- tember. Prof. R. W. Dickey, who is in charge of the work said the old line had been laid in the ground without any insulation or protec- tion from the damp earth and rains. The new line is being laid in a trench enclosed by concrete on all sides, and the pipe is in- sulated by a cover made of mag- nesia and asbestos and then wrap- ped in roofing paper. By this method no water or dampness can enter. By such care in laying steam lines, the loss of heat is reduced to one-sixth of what it was in the old style pipe laying. This line is over seven hundred feet long, and extends fromthe power house, in the rear of Wash- ington college, to Graham Dor- mitory and the Dining hall. Steam is turned into the line at a pres- sure of 40 or 50 pounds, which gives it a temperature of about 750 degress Farenheight. When it reaches the basement of the dor- mitory it is reduced to two pounds pressure and then circulated thru the buildings. When the steam has been used for heat and has been reduced to a liquid, it is returned to the pow- er house in that form and then sent out again in the form of steam. The pipes that are being laid now, Mr. Dickey said, should last indefinitely. The work will be finished shortly. _.__.___.o___.____ YMCA Officers For Coming Year Elected Monday J. P. Lowry was elected vice- president and E. F. Pilley, secre- tary, of the Washington and Lee YMCA., at a meeting of the Cab- inet held Monday night. Plans for the coming year were discussed, and reports were heard on the progress thus far. A Freshman Club, consisting of about 25 members has been or- ganized, and is holding meetings every Wednesday night. These meetings take the form of open discussion groups, and great in- terest has been shown in them.

The backfield of Lott, White, Barnett and Thibodeau is as good a combination as the Generals will use this season. Between the line- plunging of Barnett and White, and the end runs of Lott and Thi- bodeau, the Generals should break their scoring inactivity in the Tennessee game. The rest of the line-up has re- mained unchanged except for the return of Captain Fitzpatrick to his tackle post. With Groop and Faulkner at ends, Fitzpatrick and Hawkins at tackles, Groop and Seligman at guards and Snod- grass at center, the Blue forward wall looks powerful and weighs a trifle more than the line that . played against West Virginia. Herron will drive his men hard for the remaining practices and will seek to smooth over all the. rough edges that cropped up in- the Mountaineer battle. The loose-. ness of the tackling against the Morgantown eleven somewhat remedied in yesterdays drill, when the squad broke two tackling dummies. The flank can- didates were run ragged chasing punts until the October twilight forced a cessation of activities on Wilson field.

Tennessee Vols Down Alabama And Upset Dope Tenn. Wins, 15 to 13, First Home Defeat For Ala. In Nine Years By Orange and White Service Denny Field, University, Ala., Oct. 20—The most startling up- sent in Southern Conference foot- ball today came when an inspired team” of Tennessee Volunteers out- fought and out generaled the highly touted Alabama Crimson Tide and left this field with the long end of the 15-13 count. The Tennessee victory is the first one to be won on the Tide’s home field in nine years, and served to mar the Homecoming program for several thousand alumni who came back expecting to see a vic- torious alma mater roll on toward another championship. Taking the lead on the first play of the game with the 98 yard return of the kick off by McEver, for a touchdown, Tenne- ssee held a good but narrow lead until the final gun of the game. By returning the kickoff for a touchdown, McEver performed a feat, according to Alabama coaches which has never been suf- fered by an Alabama team be- fore—-—or at least in seventeen years in their certain knowledge. Alabama Does Comeback This whirlwind start however did not stun the Wade machine for it came back in the next min- ute of play and scored on its own account but failed to kick goal. This counter was accomplished in four driving plays ending in a beautiful 45 yard dash by Suther following a cut back line play. Both teams stiffened after the first minutes and no other scores were registered until near the end of the first quarter when Dodd, star Tennessee quarterback punt- ed out on the Alabama six-inch line. In attempting to kick out to safety, the Tide fumbled and Ten- nessee recovered in the end zone for a safety, and two additional points. The period ended with the count 9-6 in Tennessee’s favor. Tennessee Outweighed Both teams scored again in the second period and the scoring for the day was ended. Alabama’s counters came as a result of their tremendous driving plays through the lighter Volunteer line, which they outweighed more than twen- ty pounds to the man. Tennessee scored by the use of a wise se- lection of passes and end runs which the Tide were unable to stop. ' The second half was featured by the desperate struggling of both teams to increase their scores. Neither was successful although both threatened several times. Alabama advances were reduced to naught on several occasions by fumbles within scoring distance The Tide backs did not seem able to hold the ball under the hard tackles they received from the Volunteer secondary defense after breaking through the line. The Tennesseans on the other hand lost the ball three times in their opponents territory when short passes were intercepted by the alert Crimson backs. Despite the fact that the Ala- bama linemen greatly outweighed the fore wall of the Tennessee de- fense, they did not outclass them. Although the Alabama backs were able to make repeated first downs through the Tennessee line they were frequently stopped dead through the superior coach- ing of the Neyland men. The Tennessee backs were clearly mas- ters of the situation at all times and greatly outclassed the Tide_ backs in their innate football playing ability. Alabama Off Form Todays upset was not due to Alabama being off form. While apparently confident of victory, they were in top notch condition‘ and played a game which is on a par with their previous appear- ances this season. They were sim- ply overcome «by a harder ‘fighting, faster, .1-cam. ‘ McEver, for Tennessee by his stellar performance may be said to have cinched a place on the mythical All-Southern team. Hicks was the outstanding Crimson back ‘and his repeated long gains kept the Tennessee team busy to pre- vent other scores. Hackman ‘and Dodd for Tennessee and Suther, Deal and Holm for Alabama all covered themselves with ‘glory.

Shirley, chairman of the state highway commission, Friday afternoon addressed a joint meeting of American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers Ameri- can Institute of Electrical Engi- neers and the American Chemical Society at the Virginia Military Institute Friday. Mr. Shirley stated it would be only a short time before Virginia would possess twenty-five air- ports and emergency landing fields. He also said the state will be the terminus of three trans- continental airlines. Other speakers were A. V. Shock, general engineer, Westing- house Electric Company, who spoke on “Railway Electrification” Dean Earl B. Norris, of V. P.

The latter discussed “City Planning” and the former “Plat- inum.” About 200 persons attended the meetings among them engineering students of V. P. I., Washington and Lee, University of Virginia and V. M. I. The meeting closed Saturday after a discussion of railway engineering. Dr. 0.Hckson Resigns Charge Pastor of Manly Memorial Baptist Church Called to Harrisonburg Nov. 18 Coming as a great shock to both his church members and the citizens of Lexington, Dr. E. E. Jackson, pastor of the Manly Memorial Baptist Church, resign- ed his position Sunday as pastor here to accept a charge in Har- risonburg, Va. Following the regular church service at the Manly Memorial church Sunday morning, Dr.Jack- son called a session of all the church members and at his re- quest Major A.W. Robertson read to those present, Rev. Jackson’s resignation as pastor of the ‘local church. His resignation was ac- cepted by the organization witl. regret.

A V. M. I. and Maryland will hold the spot light with North Caro- lina and Georgia Tech, by virtue of the Flying Squadron’s thrilling win over Virginia and Tech’s de- feat of Notre Dame. Washington and Lee and Vir- ginia will draw much interest since the former meets Tennessee, the conqueror of Alabama, and the latter, Vanderbilt. The Wolf- pack of N. C. S. will get a chance to redeem itself of early season defeats by meeting Florida. V. P. I. will have an easy schedule be- fore meeting Maryland the follow- ing week-end. Keydets Shine Raftery’s eleven played a won- derful game against the Cava- liers Saturday, and if his team can play up to last week’s form should have the big end of the score after the fracas with Mary- land. Barnes, Hawkins and Har- ner ran wild over Virginia last week. The Key-det line opened holes at will. It functioned per- fectly, and if it can work as well this week as last Curly Byrd’s team seems destined to defeat. Scott, Keydet 150 pound end, and Hewlett, tackle played better than any linesmen in this section all year. For the first time since the North Carolina State game, Oct. 6, Washington and Lee will be able to send her full strength against an opponent. In the Ken- tucky game two weeks ago five regulars were out of the line-up and last Saturday against West Virginia Capt. Fitzpatrick and Leigh Williams were out of the game. Although Tennessee should handle the Generals’ Herron’s team will be in good shape and ready to deal plenty of misery.

If Georgia Tech continues the play that marked the Notre Dame game last week «North Carolina is in for its third successive de- feat, the second straight at the hands of a Conference member. Schwartz, at center for Carolina, will meet a “stud” in Pund, of Tech. Incidentally, both are cap- tains of their respective elevens. Wolfpack In Florida At the present clip Florida is making the red-breasted Wolfpack of North Carolina will have a hard time repeating its 12 to 6 defeat over the ’Gators. Captain Bob Warren’s team has not got- ten over the overwhelming defeat it was presented by Captain Fitz- patrick’s Generals. As a matter of fact both teams have suffered unlimited injuries. Peake and Mattox should have easy sailing through King College when the Gobblers entertain the Tennesseans on Miles field. Vir- ginia Tech suffered avsevere loss this week when it was announced that Tomko, veteran back, had been instructed by physicians to discontinue football for the re- mainder of the year.
