Ellard, director of journa- lism, announced today. Shortly after the polls close on that date returns will start com- ing in, and will be presented on a motion picture screen as rapid- ly as they are available. Complete reports will be given until it is definitely decided whether it is to be Smith or Hoover. This service is being given as a form of laboratory exercise for students in journalism; and the mode of procedure will be exactly the same as that on daily news- ‘papers. Will Cover County Journalism students will per- sonally cover each of the twenty- two precincts in Rockbridge county so that full reports of lo- cal voting may be announced as well as national political results. Special correspondents-for the Lee School of Journalism will furnish returns from nearby cities, and all balloting from Virginia and other states will be broadcast as rapidly as two leased wires can make results known. Immediately following the close of the elections, students will publish a special edition of the RING-TUM PHI, giving full de- tails, as additional laboratory ex- periments. Reorganized three years ago, school of Journalism will take this, its first opportunity, to cov- en a national presidential elec- tion from a newspaper service standpoint. Plan Entertainment The directors are planning a di- versified program of entertain- ment to run in between flashes. No admission charge will be made. All students are invited to avail themselves of the returns, and the gymnasium will be open to the public. A special invitation has been issued officers and the cadet corps at the Virginia Mili- tary Institute. ___:0_____ Wm.

This number is above the average, and bids fair to pass the record of seventeen made last season. Four I of these deaths have occured in high-school games, three in col- lege games’ and two ‘on the sand- lots. PLANNING SPECIAL TO VIRGINIA GAME The special train for the Virginia game is practically a certainty. R. A. Smith, grad- uate manager of athletics, who is making arrangements, states that present plans call for a train of six cars to start for Charlottesville about 9 oclock Saturday morning, and to re- turn Saturday evening after the game. The fare will be $3 for the round trip. Under present arrangements the team and the band will ac- company the students on the special. However, to assure the train, about- 200 tickets will have to be sold. Hank Slanker, director of the band, will take 70 men on the trip, and believes the new uniforms will be available Sat- urday. Denny Chooses November For Visit to W. & L. Choice for President Will Spend Several Weeks in Lexington Dr. George H. Denny, unani- mously selected by the trustees to succeed Dr. Henry Louis Smith as president of this Uni- versity, will visit Washington and Lee sometime in November, Dean H. D. Campbell announced yesterday. Dr Denny plans to remain in Lexington several weeks looking over Washington and Lee before he announces whether he will ac- cept or reject the proferred pres- idency. Given Leave Trustees of the University of Alabama tendered Dr. Denny a six months leave of absence last week to rest from his labors as president of Alabama for the past eighteen years. He expects to spend much of that time visiting several cities and especially Lex- ington. A resolution was passed unan- imously by Alabama University trustees when they met last week asking Dr. Denny to remain with the university. He has given no statement yet on his probable decision. One is expected from him before the end of November. _____0___.. MOUNTAINEERS TO GET OUT VOTE Morgantown, W. Va.—West Vir- ginia has a Get-Out-And-Vote Club, and is urging all members who are over 21 to go to the polls on the forthcoming election day. Party System Deiended by Dr. Campbell Political Science Teacher Urges Support of Party . Nominees CLAIMS CONVENTIONS ARE MERE CIRCUSES Electoral College is Protec- tion of Minority Against Majority Inthis era of Hoover-Democrats and Smith-Republicans with party lines being lightly tossed aside, Dr. R. R. Campbell professor of Political Science, defended the party system of government in an address before journalism and politics students in Newcomb hall yesterday morning. Urging the support of your party nominee even though you do not like him personally, Dr. Campbell said you have more chance to “reform” your party if you stay with it. He cited the example of Roosevelt kicking the . traces of the G. 0. P. in 1912, which resulted in both Roosevelt and his independent partyflbeing defeated. If Roosevelt had remain- ed with the G. O. P. he would have controlled that party in 1916, Dr. Campbell said. As it was, both lost. Criticises Convention Dr. Campbelll deplored the mod- ern tendency to turn national par- ty conventions from a deliberative body into a public circus ruled by hooting galleries rather than lo- gic. If a man gets up to discuss the merits of some candidate not popular with the galleries he is “booed” off the platform, Dr. Campbell explained. The electoral college which so many want abolished was defend- ed by Dr. Campbell because of the advantage it gives small states and especially the less densely populated Southern States. Two small states combined often have as many electoral votes as one larger state even though the lat- ter has much the larger popula- tion, he said. Defends Primary _The direct primary was also de- fended by Dr. Campbell as afford- ing the public, rather than poli- tical bosses, the opportunity of selecting party candidates. National party conventions, in spite of their tendency to become shows, are far more democratic than the older methods of select- ing presidential candidates, Dr. Campbell believes. In time the public will be excluded from par- ty conventions and they will again become deliberative bodies, he thinks. Scholars of Yeste-rYears Gaze Upon Dreamy History Students Six old gentlemen, hanging high on the walls of the History seminar room gaze down quietly, and somewhat sadly, at students, who, curled in chairs, worry over books or dreamily rest their eyes through the small windows which allow a bit of the sky to be seen. Who are these old fellows? What did they do that we per- mit them to cheat oblivion, hang- ing from the walls? No one seems to know. Historians, probably, of half a century or more ago, for they are vestured in the clothes akin to those which adorn old family daguerreotypes. Almost all of them have beards; beards of all kinds: long, curly wisps of hair which reach to the waist; short bunches which hide the owner’s face in fistfuls, hap- pily or otherwise we can not know and finest of all, a tremendous leonine example of tonsorial art which throws around the gentle- man behind it a kingly splendor. How the last one must have been envied by the foliage-parnered 7‘beaus” of his time! The young maidens must have breathed deep- ly, and sighed longingly, as this prize flashed by in his buggy. Lacks Manly Features One of these scholars, if such they 'be, is devoid of the manly feathers which surround the others, poor man, bare to the skin, looks enviously across the room at the leonine one, his vis- age wrinkled into mournful sort row. Why is this gentleman without the adornments which grace his companions in obscurity? Per- haps it was that he was unable to grow more than shabby wisps of grass, and rather than show his weakness to_a mocking world. he savagely pulled his hairs out by the roots. Or it may be that he was married to a delicate lady who would not permit him to prove his virility by enshrouding himself within a camouflage of hair. ' Gaze Year Round Lonesomely, these patriarchs see the years slip past. Students come and go; summer empties the room of visitors and still they gaze down on vacant chairs. And through it all, they remain unnoticed, save for an occasional student who, gaining respite from his work, looks up drowsily to see one of these old chaps lanug- inously warn him back to the la- bor he has so happily left. So their own work having been long since ended, these ancients exist now only as objects of in - centive, and censure to the stud- ents, who, for the most part, areJ unaware. Long Runs by McEver an Give Vols 26-7 Victory Over Generals Jeers lnterrupt Political Talk By Churchman Two Hundred Students In Audience That Heckled Hoover Advocates Heckled by two hundred stu- dents and an equal number of townspeople Bishop Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal church yesterday afternoon conducted a two and a half hour political meeting in the old high school building. He advocated the candi- dacy of Herbert Hoover for the presidency. Constantly interrupted by jeers hisses, and cat calls the bishop made a lengthy talk flaying the Democratic nominee Gov. Al. Smith, of New York, and Senator Carter Glass of Virginia. He trac- ed the rise and fall of the pro- hibition movement and severely attacked the tactics of Tammany hall. Dr. Cannon was preceded on the platform by the Reverend Theo- dore Shuey, of Swope, who was forced to discontinue his remarks because of frequent interruptions from his audience. He became bit- ter during his address and criti- cized members of the Washington and Lee student body whom he recognized. After several outbursts of un- timely applause and hisses he re-' ferred to students as “sport model jack-asses,” “tadpoles,” “embry- onic gentlemen” and threatened “to knock their blocks off.” Following the meeting John Bell Towill, president of the student body expressed his regret to Dr. Cannon over the student's conduct during the address. Towill explain- ed that those present represented only a small part of the total Washington and Lee student body. ______o_____ Frosh lnvade West Virginia . ; For Grid Game Strong Greenbrier Military_ Academy Forms Opposi- tion Today In an endeavor to win its sec- ond successive grid game Wash- ington and Lee’s yearling foot- ball squad is encamped in Lewis- burg West Virginia this after- noon to face the strong Green- brier Military Academy eleven which has been undefeated this season. Coach E. P. Davis will have twenty-one men in uniform, and expects to start the same _com- bination that blanked V. P. I. frosh 12 to 0 on Oct. 19. Ever- ett Cross and “Al” Guyol, first string substitutes, were unable to make the trip due to injuries sustained in recent practices. Mitchell, McLaren, Smith, and Mattox will do the ball carrying, while the line will comprise Long‘ and Wilson, ends; Baily and Til-1 son tackles; Harris and Nesbitt: guards; and Porter, center. Duplicating the process that proed successful in their recent victory, “Bill” Long will do the punting with one of the backs temporarily taking his flank po- sition. Game captain will be appointed by Captain Davis as the team takes the field for the first quar- ter. Tilson was acting headman against _V. P.

JOHNSTON AND DAVIS- WATCH GENERALS PLAY It is suspected by members of the RING-TUM PHI staff that Henry P. Johnston and J. W. Davis, editor and managing editor respectively ,of this dis- tinguished journal, were among the Washington and Lee stu- dents at the Tennessee game this afternoon. Declaring their intention of visiting Knoxville over the week-end, the two editors left Thursday and spent a short time in Bristol. No word has been received from them since, although two unidentified per- sons, wearing Smith campaign buttons, were reported to have arrived in Knoxville. Both were accused of being Democrats. Duke Harriers Beat Generals ln First Meet‘ Doxey Places First for Duke; Backus, W. & L., Second In their initial appearance of the season, this afternoon, Wash- ington and Lees’ varsity harriers met defeat on the home course at the hands of Duke University by a score of 21 to 39. Captain Backus, Brock, and Hickin were the only Blue and White runners to place within the first ten. Doxey of Duke, winner of the race, covered the five and one- fourth mile course in 28 minutes 30 seconds. Time for the W&L entries fol- lows: First, Doxey, (D) 28:30; Second, Backus (W&L) 29:14; third Owen (D) 29:15; fourth Woodward (D); Brock (W&L); Heiser (D); Ashworth (D); Si- mon (D); Hickin (W&L); Win- coff (D).; Johnson (W&L); Mah- ler (W&L); Suter (W&L); and Rhett (W&L). _____0_____ Freshman Help Extinguish Fire In Tourist Camp Fire destroyed a tourist camp- ing outfit behind the Doremus gymnasium Thursday night at 9:40 and severely burned F.

Wilford and his wife were in their camping tent when an oil- lamp burst and sprayed their clothes with gasoline. The camp- fire ignited he oil and before aid could be called the entire camp was on fir-:;. Wilford’s Fanrls and arms were burned. Ho estiinated the dam- age to his outfit at $150 dollars.

On a long right end sweep d Reineke “Red” Jones Scores Lone Marker After Pass From Eberhard Blue and White Team Stages Brilliant Up- hill Fight During Latter Part of Game But Fails to Overcome Tenn. Knoxville Tenn., Oct. Z7—Four touchdowns, three of them coming after long, brilliant open field runs, turned back the Generals this afternoon in their first meeting in history with the Volunteers of the University of Tennessee. Open football won the. game at Knoxville. A 90-yard run, a 40- yard pass, a 20-yard drive, and a 55-yard slash through a scatter- ed field speak for themselves. Washington and Lee was superior in the smashing, line-plunging game, but Washington and Lee could’not handle the fleet Tenne- ssee backs when on four occa- sions they were started through the first line of defense. It was just a case of too much McEver and Reineke. These Vol- unteer backs carried the brunt of the attack. Without them Tenne- ssee would probably have amount- ed to little, but with them—26 points to 7! i The Generals lacked punch when punch would probably have meant victory. Twice Washington and Lee carried the ball within the shadow of the Tennessee goal, but each time the final drive was missing. It was a first-half victory, 20 points coming in that stanza. The second half was all Washington and Lee until a 55 yard which originated in a smash thru the line, ended the scoring of the day. First Quarter Washington and Lee won the toss and Capt. Fitzpatrick kicked off to Hackman who received the ball on the 10-yard line and ran through the entire visiting team for 90 yards and a touchdown. Reineke failed to convert. Score: Tennessee 6, Washington and Lee 0. ‘ Reineke kicked off to Thibodeau who took the ball on his 10-yard line and ran back 20 yards. Thi- bodeau went over right guard for 2 yards. White cut through center for 17 yards and a first down. Thibodeau went over tack- le for 3 yards, and White lost 3 yards on an attempted lateral ‘ pass. Faulkner’s pass was incom- plete, and he punted out of bounds on Tennessee’s 25 yard line. McEver made 3 yds. around left end; Reineke’ added 3 more off left tackle, and then punted to" Thibodeau who ‘was downed on his own 12-yard line. Thibodeau made 4 yards over right tackle, White added 2 yards more over the other tackle, and Faulkner punted to Reineke on the 50 yard line. The Tenn. back returned 5 yards. McEver negotiated 5 yards off right tackle. McEver passed to Hugg who ran for the second Tennessee touchdown. McEver kicked the extra point. Score: Tennessee 13, Washington and Lee 0. Faulkner took the Tennessee kick-off and returned the ball to his 30-yard line. Thibodeau gain- ed 5 yards on a double pass. Faulkner failed to gain, and the Generals were penalized 15 yards out of bounds on the Tennessee 47-yard line. The Volunteers took time out. McEver was forced out of bounds after a 5-yard gain around left end. Hackman smash- ed center for 6 yards and a first down. The play was called back run, * Faulkner punted to McEver who was stopped on his 35-yard line. McEver made 4 yards over right tackle. On an‘ attempted punt Reineke lost 9 yards. Reineke punted to Thibodeau on the Gen- eral 35-yard line. Thibodeau re- turned 6 yards. A lateral pass, White to Thibodeau, was good for one yard ,and then White slip- ped off left tackle for 4 yards more. Faulkner punted to the Tennessee 15-yard line where the ball was downed. Reineke fumbled on the next play but recovered for a 2-lard loss. Hackman was run out of bounds after gaining 2 yards. Reineke punted out of bounds on the Washington and Lee 33-yard line. Faulkner hit left tackle and kept going for 15 yards and a first down. Eberhardt lost 3 yards on a pseudo-trick play. A pass from Eberhardt was intercepted by Hackman Jon the Tennessee 40- yard line. He ran to the Wash- ington-Lee 40-yard line before be- ing stopped. Tennessee again call- ed time. Rain began to fall while time was out. McEver broke through center for 20 yards when play was resumed. McEver found a stonewall in the Washington-Lee line as the first quarter ended. It was Tennessee’s ball on the W-L 20-yard line. Score: Tennessee 13; Washing- ton and Lee 0. Second Quarter The second period opened as did the first, Hackman skirting the Washington and Lee right wing for 20 yards and the third Ten- nessee touchdown. McEver place- kicked the extra point. Score: Tennessee 20; Washington and Lee 0. Hug kicked off to the W&L 7- yard line and Thibodeau returned the ball to the 23-yard marker. Thibadeau made 1 yard on a left end run. Thibadeau was injured on this play, Jones replacinghim Brandt was substituted for Hern- don of Tennessee. Falukner went around right end for 4 yards. Faulkner punted to Reineke who took the ball on his 35-yard line and returned it 14 yards. Again time was called for Tennessee. Tudor replaced Reineke at quarterback for Tennessee. Hickman hit the General cen- ter for 3 yards, but the Volun- teers were penalized 15 yards for’ holding. McEver failed to gain and the visitors were set back 5- yards for off-side. Tudor made 9 yards on two line plunges. Decker. punted to Eberhardt on the W&L 31-yard line. The Virginia player returned 4 yards. Eberhardt fail- ed, but on two stabs at the line White made 5 yards.

INDIRECT BOOMERANGS When two hundred students jeered Bis- hop James Cannon yesterday while he made a political address they did not hurt the speaker as they intended, instead they in- jured the name of a great university. And when the elderly clergyman returned the jeers with caustic references he did not hurt the students, but injured the name of a great church. Had both sides represeiited just them- selves it tcal meeting, but they did not. To the speaker the students were Washington and Lee representatives, not ordinary young men; and to thelaudiencc Dr. Cannon was a Methodist clergyman, not a politician. A gathering of students represents Wash- ington and Lee, whether in a University assembly or not; and likewise, Dr. Cannon represents the Methodist faith, Whether in his pulpit or not. Yesterday/’s occurance was regrettable. Neither side can justly be blamed for the events which took place. The audience came to heckle the speaker, and the speak- er came prepared to be heckled. Both knew what would happen. The clergyman was due a courteous dig- nified hearing. He would probably have re- ceived it had he been more appreciative of his audience. On the other hand the au- dience deserved more respect from the speaker’s platform, regardless of its con- duct. Both the students who did the heckling and the bishop migh profit by the occur- ence. The former should see that their conduct reflects not on them personally, but on Washington and Lee; and the learned bishop would do well to remember that whatever he says, whether in his pulpit or on a political stump, reflects not on him, but on his great church. MOM A PERSONALITY IN WORDS Often we find after many years have passed that the true greatness of a for- mer hero or great leader has been lost. Al- though records of accomplishments remain the personality of the figure is gone. ' Of all the early founders of our nation there is probably none who possessed more personalty than Benjamin Franklin. As a ‘scientist, author, diplomat, and politician he has left his mark for prosterity. His auto- biography is a very graphic account of him- self and has given us something which would never have been preserved in his ac-' complishments. Franklin did many odd things in his life and not the least among these was the writing of his own epitaph, which is now carved on his tombstone in Philadelphia. This epitaph although short seems to sum- marize the personality and the philosophy of the great American. Franklin said of himself: The Body of Benjamine Franklin, Printer (Like the cover of an old book, Its contents torn out And stripped of its lettering and gilding,) Lies here food for worms. ‘ Yet the work itself shall not be lost, For it will (as he believes) appear once more In a new And more beautiful Edition Corrected and Amended . by The Author The same personality that won the hearts of the French people 150 years ago appears to live in the above words carved in a piece of stone. would have been an ordinary poli-. A COURTESY Undoubtedly the student body appre- ciates the announcement of the librarian, Miss Blanche McCrum, that new books ar- riving at the library will be reserved es- pecially for students for thirty days after they arrive. This is indeed a much appreciated step, if we are to judge from the olumes left standing on the special shelf. In the past we have heard several students comment on the impossibility of obtaining contemporary literature while it is being discussed. This step would do much to increase the number of students reading for enjoyment. 0____ “LOVE TO MARS FROM EARTH” Dr. message, “Love to Mars from Earth,” has created considerable stir in press circles. Most newspaper services carrying stories on the attempt to reach Mars by wireless have treated the subject rather lightly and several radio authorities have made humor- ous comments. It may be that Dr. ‘Robinson’s attempt to reach Mars is only a vision, it does not appear to have concrete foundation, but it is due at least a trial. One radio authority has stated it would be impossible to pierce the 35,000,000 miles between the two planets because the ether i does not extend further than 100 miles from the earth. Nearly 600 years ago ex- perienced navigators told Columbus that he would reach the edge of the earth when he came to the horizon. They laughed and ri- lduculed him the same as some are doing, l lthe English scientist today. .‘ Columbus thought he had the right iidea and kept on. He found America. If ;Dr. Robinson thinks he has the right code, lto reach the far-away planet he may be the first to communicate with the universe. , The Message to Mars may be only a fake publicity stunt, but it deserves at least a dignified effort until it is proved impos- sible. _____0____. WAGONS WITHOUT STARS “What am I going to do when I get out; of Washington and Lee?” Have you ever, asked yourself that question, and if so have! you answered it satisfactorily. At least half of the student body of Washington and Lee is going through col- lege without any definite idea of what they will be in the future, we would venture tol say. These boys tre not going to school be-i cause they are certain they will need the} education, but because “dad,” or some other; relative thinks they need it, and is willing to foot the bills. How many would be willing to ride twenty—tWo miles each day on a bicycle for six years to get their college education? Not many, that’s a sure fact, but a Texas youth did this very thing in obtaining his degree. He evidently knew what he wanted and was willing to put forth his entire ef- forts to get it. His college education prob- ably fits in perfectly with his life work. If students would pick some definite, place or position in life which they want to occupy, shape their college courses to fit them for that position, there would be a few college critics and a college debree would ness or professional worlds. l _____0___.._ If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.—Margaret Fuller. .___0_____ Speech is the index of the mind.—Seneca. ‘With the new fall suits containing twelve pockets it is awful to think what some women will have to go through.

The only drawback is that it_ lasts only five or ten min- utes and you are just as clearheaded as ever. process of getting drunk at fiften minute intervals and you will never have a head-ache or anything like that.” >l< >l< * It’s better to be thought a fool and remain silent than to speak and remove all doubt.

Stanford has never been accused of playing dirty football even before Warner came there, but had it been a practice before the advent of the old man he would have put a stop to it. He sees every bit of it pulled in a ‘game. “One of the secrets of Pop’s success,” continues Hyland, “is his knack of putting men where they belong. He turns average halfbacks into successful ends, makes star guards out of poor quarters, dependable centers out of erratic tackles, and Vice versa. “His teams fight as much for Pop as they fight for their Alma Mater. And when Pop tells you to do something, you go out and do better than your best to win. One thing Pop does not do—and it is illustrative of the way he handles his men—is to bawl them out before the rest of the squad. He thinks of their feelings and takes them aside when he has anything unflattering to say. “His system~the Warner sys- tem so often mentioned wherever football men gather to talk about the game—has taken thirty years to build. Today it is one of the in football. Pop has a flock of basic plays which he gives his team the first week every season. Dur- ing a season he will give approx- of them will be used.

He is one of the crowd when he is with other people, and his favorite indoor sport is to gather several old-timers a- round him and have a “remember when” game.

GENERAL Gossip One week from today, and practically every Washington and Lee student, every Virginia matriculate, and ten thousand or more fans, alumni and friends of the two schools will be in Charlottes- ville for the annual state football headliner. Regardless of other games on the schedule, and not- withstanding favorable results of games with big outside or intersectional opponents and forgetting losses to surprise elevens, a win for either of these two universities over the other practically brands the year as successful. And, with success in this battle as the criterion, the Generals have not had a “successful” year since 1925, when Mike Palmer slip- ped and dashed his spectacular way through the Cavaliers on Wilson Field here to lead the way to a 12 to 0 victory. This year’s clash will be the “rubber” game of the series since the renewal of relations in 1922. Virginia took the first game, played in Charlottesville, and then Washington and Lee came back to take three straight, played alternately at Lexington and Charlottesville. The Cavaliers came back strong on Lambeth Field in 1926, how- ever, and, scoring early and late, swamped the surprised Generals 30 to '7, and came to Lexington last year to even the series at three- all with a 12-7 victory. On paper the Virginia aggregation appears the strongest at thispoint in the schedule, but when comparative scores are analyzed the two machines seem evenly matched. While Neale tied Princeton and lost to South Carolina by only one touchdown more that the Gamecocks downed Chicago by, he did an about face with his Cavaliers and looked impotent against Bill Raftery’s V. M. I. Cadets here last week. The Generals’ most impressive game corresponding to Virginia’s tie with Princeton, was the defeat of North Carolina State by five touchdowns. Then, to match Virginia’s close loss to South Carolina, Herron’s eleven lost to Kentucky by one six-pointer, the Wildcats afterwards staging a splendid battle with Northwestern. Also, while the Charlottesville squad was curled up quivering beneath the V. M. I. assault, the Generals were routed by Rodgers clan of West Virgin- ians. \Vhat is the record of the two elevens to date gives a man anything to base a choice on when he is estimating their comparative strength, based upon performance under fire? One team looks as strong as the other to the impartial observer, ‘ unless the gruelling tests with Tennessee and Vanderbilt today give more evidence, we will continue to believe the coming game one be- tween evenly matched teams. Study the backfields, White, Thibodeau, Eberhard or Lott, and Faulkner, l\Iaminer, Close and Sloan. Barnett can more than hold his own as an alternate line plunger with Pinkerton. On the flanks, the Cavaliers must be granted the edge. In Flip- T here f01‘ S€V€1‘31 d3-3’S- pin, Turne1', and Byrd, Coach Neale has three men capable of playing first class football, good defensive men and able to function equally efficiently on the attack. With Towill and Williams unable to do battle, the Generals are greatly hampered at the ends of the line. Sproul is the only man remaining who has had any appreciable ex- perience under fire, and he has a lot to learn yet. Cocke and Day are new at the varsity game, and if Herb. Groop is to be of any use against Virginia he will have to learn a great deal in a very short time. It was the mental attitude of the entire corps, as well as of the team, that enabled V. M. I. to upset all predictions and crush Virginia. The cadets went on the field to do noth- ing but win, and the corps expected them to do nothing else. If no additional injuries are received in today’s game at Knox- ville, Washington and Lee fans have a right to feel that their team has at least an even chance to beat Virginia next week. The team is ready to capture the “rubber” game, and, if the players feel that the student body confidently expects a victory, nothing will stop the Big Blue from making the count for the series stand “Washington and Lee four, Virginia three.” P A G E ’ S Meat Market Phones 126 and 426 Fraternities We Solicit your patronage Welsh & Hutton Phones 192 and 144 Palace Barber Shop First Class Service in a San- itary Way Located in ROBERT E.

Hats off! “The Swing!” The intersection of Nelson and Lee streets was the scene of a most enthusiastic “pep” meeting Thursday night, when three hun- dred wildly cheering students sent the Generals off to the Tennessee battle. The Washington and Lee band played the sacred gridiron hymn time and again and the last notes re-echoed long into the night. As the two dozen stalwarts fil- ed into the bus that was to con- vey them to Roanoke, where they would entrain for Knoxville, the enthusiasm reached its peak. Gra- ham Morison and his capable corps of cheer-leaders kept the crowd chanting the Blue and White football yells. The mighty volume of the cheering penetrated the doors of the bus and each player there was brought the message that the stu- dent body had faith in the ability of the Generals to do their best. As the bus slowly moved up Lee street heading in the direction of Roanoke, the crowd burst forth in a paean to the football prowess of the Big Blue and the last memory of the gridders as the bus picked up speed was the strains of “Thei Swing.” It is estimated students followed Knoxville. ___0_:_ I.

This was the first season fall baseball practice has been held here. It has proved so suc- cessful that a playing field has been acquired for the intramural games, which will be a part of fall practice next year. Coach Twombly expresses him- self as being pleased with the ap- pearance of Slanker, centerfielder, Radford, moundsman, and Fields, catcher, of the 1928 diamond com- bination. Last year’s freshmen showing up well are Mount and Tardy. Among candidates for the freshman team of this year, who are making strong bids for regu- lar positions are: Ligner, a back- stop, and Martin, an infielder. _.__o____ “S. & U.” Reports Show Change In Scholarship Scholarship is improving at Washington and Lee if the recent S and U reports are any indica- tion.

This limit is only approximate and a few more than 900 will be admitted to the University. Ne- vertheless the enrollment will be kept as near 900 as possible. Last year at the publishing of the directory of the University 870 students were enrolled. This number grew to 909 on February 1, making an increase of thirty- nine during the semester. This year at the publishing of the di- rectory there were 905 students enrolled.

On an ordinary day, there are about 1,600 letters distributed among these boxes, an average of two letters to each box. Judging from the expressions heard in the post office, it may be assumed that the distribution is seldom mathematically correct.
