Prexy Big Welcome Phi Delta Phi Carriage To Bring Denny From Sta- tion to Corner BAND TO HEAD PARADE FROM TRAIN TO TOWN- Graham Morison Will__ Con- duct Rally, Assisted by Slanker & Band The student body, one hundred per cent strong, accompanied by the Washington and Lee band, will throng the B. & 0. station to- night to greet Dr. George H. Den- ny on his arrival in Lexington at 7:20. Although Dr. Denny’s visit is supposed to be unofficial, students will stage a demonstration wel- coming him. Headed by the an- cient carriage of the Pi Delta Phis, they will parade through the town and escort Dr. Denny to the Corner, where an informal ral- ly will be held in his honor. Af- terwards, he will be taken to the home of Dr. J. L. Howe, where he will be a guest during his .stay in Lexington. To Look Over School The purpose of Dr.Denny’s Visit at tlfis time is to look over the situation here and talk with Pres- ident Smith. Although he has not yet announced whether or not it is hoped that his decision will be favorable. Dr. Denny’s popularity with the students at the University of Alabama was shown by a public demonstration recently held there by 3,000 students, who marched in a body to the President’s home, and tendered a petition to him not to accept the position offered at Washington and Lee. Morison Conducts Rally The demonstration to be staged tonight will show Dr. Denny that it is the wish of the entire stu- dent body that he accept the pres- idency of this institution. Graham Morison, cheer leader, will conduct the rally, assisted by Hank Slan- ker, manager of the band. Dr. Denny was popular with not only the students during his twelve years as president of Washington and Lee, but with the citizens of Lexington as well. His efforts to promote the interests of the institution, and his parti- cipation in town affairs caused him to be loved and respected by all alike. Wise Selection According to‘ Dr. Henry Louis Smith, who retires next year, the of trustees was a very wise one, and it is hoped that Dr. Denny will be able to accept the position offered him. Dr. Denny has done much to for- ward the interests of the Univer- sity of Alabama, and has become recognized as a leading educator. It is the belief of the entire student body and faculty that Dr.‘ Denny will be able to meet the situation at Washington and Lee, which is realizing a growing need for many modern improvements. —-———-—-0 NEW CALLING HOURS New calling hours at Jackson Memorial Hospital went into ef- fect this week, hospital authori- ties informed the RING-TUM' PHI last night.Thc:'o will be thrcc per- iods during the day that patients will be allowed to receive visitors.

Lanier, manager of the 1928 football team, was given them on their recent trip to Tennessee. During their whole stay at the University of Ten- nessee, members of the team were elaborately entertained. On arrival in Knoxville, the team was met at the station by the Beaver Club, a student body organization whose purpose is to meet and take care of visiting teams. This club furnished trans- portation, and its members acted as guides to members of the Gen- eral’s football team during their whole stay. Blue and White colors decorated every fraternity house, in which Washington and Lee men were heartily welcome at any time. A garn-warming dance was given Friday night and an infor- mal dance was given Saturday night at the new Country Clubs Members of the football team were unable to attend the dance Friday night, but went Saturday night and reported a most enjoy- able time. rosh:Gi'idsTers Eke Out 13-0 Win Over Greenbrier Little Generals, Score,_ Both Markers In Final Quarter of Game Staging a last quarter rally that netted two touchdowns, Washing- ton and Lee’s yearling football team managed to eke out a 13 to 0 victory over Greenbrier Military Academy last Saturday on the Cadets field. After repulsing a series of end runs by Greenbrier early in the third quarter, the Little Generals took possession of the ball and started down the field which found the oval on Greenbriar’s eight With Mitchell plunging through the line on the next two plays, the Blue and White carried the pigskin to the one yard line where’ Smith went through to break the scoreless tie. McLarren’s kick was blocked. Greenbrier on the next kick—off started a rampage toward the General’s goal, only to have a pass intercepted in midfield by Tilson, W&L guai'd.Once again on the offensive, the visitors started a march down the gridiron and in the last five minutes of play Mitchell scored the second touch- down. Smith’s dropkick was suc- cessful. VVhile the first half was bitter—l ly contested both teams used straight football, with Washing- ton and Lee getting the edge due to Long’s brilliant punting. Only at rare intervals was the Blue and White’s goal threatened and then never nearer than 30 yards. Winters of Greenbrier made the longest run of the day when he», sprinted around end for ‘thirty:-L yards late in the final quarter. Outstanding in Washington and Lee’s drives were Mitchell and Smith while Porter at center, Bai- ley at tackle and Long at end played stellar defensive games. Headed by acting game -cap- tain Long .the following men started for the yearlings: Ends,- Wilson and Long; tackles, Bailey and Rosenberg; guards, -Nesbitt and Horiss;, center Porter; and backs, Mitchell, Smith, McLarren and Mattox. ‘Wilson field in a fore—ruiiner to Election Returns F rce at Gym, November 6th Lee School of Journalism Is Sponsoring Nation-Wide Voting Returns TWO LEASED WIRES TO BE USED FOR SPEED One Press Wire and Connec- tion With Roanoke Times Are To Be Used By George Ashworth “New York goes for Smith by a majority of 287,594!” reads the stereoptican slide.

This game from all indications will be the hardest on the Little Generals’ card to date. The Cavalier yearlings have not lost a contest this season, and hold victories over Maryland, V. M. I. and V. P.

Football Rivals Nearing Crucial Games of Season Four Future Opponents ‘Won Last Saturday; One Tied And One Lost By Mike Leibowitz Football rivals of the 1928 Washington and Lee eleven are now approaching the crucial games of their schedules. Only in rare instances will far inferior teams be met, and for the most part, close contests will be the order of. the coming week-end. In the games played last Saturday, the winning streaks of the elevens that have a place on the W&L schedule, were perpetuated. Virginia was swamped by the Vanderbilt Commodores, 34-0; “Greasy” Neale did the expected thing, sending in his scrubs after the first few minutes of play. Virginia did the same thing against Tennessee last year, los- ing 42-0, when they could have held the Vols to a much closer score, but the mentors at the Charlottesville school point for the Cavalier-General battle, and they would rather forfeit the chance of holding a stronger team, than incapacitate several of their lum- inaries for the Washington and Lee game. In the game Saturday, Vanderbilt started off with a bang, scoring 27 points in the first quarter. The Virginian reg- ulars were shifted back into the game, and they held the Commo- dores safe until the last period, when Armistead, the Vanderbilt star got off to another of his long runs. V. P. I. had a pleasant after- noon swamping the King Tigers 54-0. The Pony Express sat on the bench and watched the sc:ond team run up marker after mark- er. That V. P. I. is a power to be reckoned with in coming games, is easily seen by the scoring they have done in the past two or t.liI'ee we/cks.The Gobblers are sev- enth in the nationai ranking, hav- ing scored 153 points. Maryland played a scoi'e1ess“t_i'c with the V. M. 1. Flying Squad- ron at Richmond. The Key<‘.ets, fresh from their 9-0 victory over the Cavaliers, were doped to win, Maryland, though unable to slim; any scoring drive, displayed an offensive that stopped the rushes of the Squadron. Captain Ab Bar- nes, though gaining at/the line consistently, was halted in his ef- forts to get off for long runs. _ Florida handed the N. C. State Wolfpack another set-back, heat- ing them, 14-7. Crabtree was eas- ily the start of the Gators, run- ning 47 yards for one touchdown and plowing through the Wolf- pack line for considerable ‘gains which made the ‘final period, when Meltbn‘ blocked“'a" Florida punt and ran for a touchdown. The Wolfpack believes that they were headed for a victorious sea- (Continued on page three) Biggest Football Rally, Year Will Be Held Thurs. New Songs, Yells, and Talks To Feature Pre-Virginian Rally in Gym PROMINENT SPEAKERS APPEAR ON PROGRAM Herron, Fitzpatrick, Drs. Smith and Denny To De- liver Rousing Talks The “On to Charlottesville, and down with Virginia” rally, the biggest football rally of the sea- son, comes off in Doremus gym- nasium Thursday night. Coach Herron, Captain Fitzpatrick, and members of the Varsity will speak to the students, and will, in turn, be the recipients of cheers and songs. A new song written especially for the General-Cavalier game by Professor John Graham, will be introduced at the rally. The band, under H. Slanker’s direc- tion, will lead the students in the musical side of the program. Dr. George H. Denny, former President of Washington and Lee, will be present at the rally, and will make a short address. He will arrive tonight at 7:10 o’clock. Several old stars of the Fight- ing Generals are expected to give short talks. At last year’s Vir- ginia rally, “Cy” Young, “Bullet Joe” Silverstein, and other former gridiron flashes spoke before the rally. Plans are under way to make this rally the largest ever held in Doremus gym. All cheerleaders will be behind head-leader Mori- son in directing the rooting and singing. Morison stated that he expects every Washington and Lee man to be present at the ral- ly to give the .team the biggest send—off it has ever had. The arrangements have’ been made for the Washington and Lee cheering section at Lambeth field will be explained in full. The freshmen are to form a nucleus in the center of section F, and the remaining seats reserved for W. and L. backers amounting to over 400, will be for upperclass- men and alumni. All further re- quests concerning seating will be made by Morison at the rally.

Game Practivally Total Student Body Expected to Witness Gen.-Cavalier Battle A full holiday has been granted the students of Washington and Lee for the Virginia-Washington and Lee game on Saturday, Nov- ember 3 at Charlottesville. This was verified at the Dean's office yesterday_ morning. Since a holiday has been grant- ed, it is expected that most of the student body will make the trip by auto or by special train. Tickets are being sold at the ‘Cor- ner and a special section of 250 seats has been reserved for Fresh- men. Arrangements for a special train were made by “Captain Dick” Smith and John Bell To- will.The train will leave here Sat- urday morning at 9 o’clock ar- riving in Charlottesville between 11:30 and 12 o’clock, allowing suf- ficient time for lunch before the game starts at 2:30. The train will leave Charlottesville at 6:30. If the students wish, it will stop in Saunton on the return trip. The fare for the round trip will be $3.00 The band and part of the team will be on the special. Over 200 are expected to make the trip. A special car will be put on the rear of the train for faculty mem- bers and townspeople who make the trip. - 0 Band Sixty Strong, ' To Attend Virginia Contest Saturday The Washington and Lee Band of 60 men weill leave on the special Saturday morning at 0 for Charlottesville to play for the game that afternoon at 2:30. The train will arrive at Char- lottesville at 11:30. The band “Billy” Lott, who received in- ' juries in the West Virginia en- counter, and was unable to make the trip to Knoxville, has been taking part in this week’s pro- gram of workouts and will be ready to take his post at left half on Saturday. owill, who has seen no action since the scrap with North Carolina State, is again re- porting -for practice. Although he did not scrimmage yesterday, there is a favorable chance that he will get the opportunity to bol- ster up one of the wing positions in the coming game with Virginia. Coach Herron madefla valuable discovery when he singled out “Red” Jones to substitute for Thibodeau against the Volunteers The fleet halfback made several substantial gains through the Tennessee line in addition to tak- ing Eberhart’s pass and convert- ing it into Washington and Lee’s only touchdown. Unless owill is ready to start, it is most likely that Day and Sproul will be on the General flanks. “Charlie” Cocke will be ready to substitute for either one. Captain Fitzpatrick and Hawkins, although both have been subject to much battering throughout the season, will oppose the Cavaliers from the tackle berths.Tillar and Hostetter will act as their alternates. Four Guards Ready Groop and Seligman are slated for the guard posts. Martin is al- most certain of getting a crack at the enemy before the battle is over, while Taylor, a converted quarterback, played a vicious game as substitute for Groop against Tennessee. He is also due for a shot at the opposition before the game ends. The center job will be taken care of by Snodgrass with “Herb” Groop as substitute. Coach Her- ron tried Groop on an end last week, but has evidently decided that he is more useful in the line and has shown no indication to try him on the wing this week. Backfield Strong The backfield has been both weakened and strengthened. The loss of Barnett leaves Whit‘e with- out an experienced alternate for will -detrain, form, and march ta university grounds, where they will disband for dinner. At 2200 they will start playing at the Sta- dium, and Wlll continue through- out the game. Between the halves the music- ians will march on the field and form the Virginia and Washing- ton ‘and Lee monograms, while playing the songs of both schools. Practice on these figures will be held ‘Wednesday afternoon, at which time new uniforms will be issued. o-_ \/ ABSENTEE VOTERS ATTEN- TION:—Miss Wilson in the Dean’s Office is a Notary Public and _WiH help you get your ballots off in proper form. _.______0______ On to Charlottesville, down with the Virginians! and l fullback, while the showing of Jones last Saturday assures Coach Herron of another fast halfback for use in emergency.

Dr. Denny was one of the youngest college presidents» in the country when he served at Washington and Lee prior to go- ing to his present post at the University of Alabama. He is still in his fifties, with ripened ex- perience and unimpaired vigor, and if he decides to accept the call to come back to Virginia, al- umni and friends of Washington and Lee may rest assured that he will throw all of his splendid en- ergies into the task of carrying forward the torch of progress which has been borne so nobly by the gifted Henry Louis Smith. ‘THE CHANGE IN PRESIDENTS AT WASHINGTON & LEE W. & L.

Both have carried on a campaign against Smith. This summer the two met and spoke from the same platform in Birmingham at the same meeting. The Rev. Jones said he would rather see a saloon on every corner of every city in the United States than a Catholic as president. Bishop Cannon has‘ been close behind “Bob” oJnes in rash re- marks. The tyrannical and bigoted views of these two clergymen bring direct injustices to the Methodist church. Every political speech delivered by Bishop Cannon is a black eye to protestant religion. ‘Tis true that one might associate the students who jeered Bishop Cannon with Washington and Lee, but not in the same sense as one associates a clergyman with S1 SINGLEREE his church.

Every player has firmly made up his mind that Virginia can not win this year. The team is out to win. It is going to win or die, so lets be “On to Charl0ttes- ‘Ville, and Down With Virginia.” 0_____ FIGURES DON’T LIE? Figures may not lie, but football scores are often misleading. To glance at the Ten- nessee—Washington and Lee football score of last week one would at once think that the Generals suffered a trouncing defeat. Such is far from the truth. Tennessee sports writers after the game were loud in their praise of the playing of the Generals as well as of individuals. The Vols found the Generals line too stiff for their backs to penetrate, and after a few fruitless attempts resorted to long runs. Never has there been a team that fought harder against odds than did the Blue and White last week. The opening kick-off caused a mental lapse for a mo- ment, but the showing the team made after "it pulled over the surprise is remarkable. In the second half Neylands team was held scoreless and helpless most of the time. To- wards the close of the fourth period McEver was able to race around end for a tochdown. Fight was dominant on every play by backs as well as linesmen. If you want to see a team composed of FIGHTING GEN- ERALS watch the Herronite team Satur- day vaginst Virginia. expectant of some hisses, jeers, and other ways of voicing disapproval. These veteran speakers keep their heads. If Bishop Can- non did not already know, he should know now that young people are much quicker to voice their disapproval at a political ral- ly than a settled congregation is at a Sun- day service. And if the Bishop can not take a few jeers, hisses, and wise cracks from his political audience, we feel that he would do far more good if he gave up his obnox- ious ballyhooing and spent more time preaching the Gospel. His congregation will respect his reli- gious teachings much more than a through- and-through Democratic audience and com- munity will his anti—Smith propaganda. The RING-TUM PHI has taken no part in the political question, and it is not our intention to divert this paper into a poli- tical periodical. But when such a bigot and hypocrite as Bishop Cannon comes within seeing distance of VVashington and Lee’s very walls and makes himself obnoxious by directing a flow of verbal bombasity at our students we feel it is high time some open disapproval of the Bishop’s “dirty” remarks be made. __.___0_____ HOSPITALITY PLUS Only hospitaly plus can characterize the welcome that Tennessee students and alum- ni extended Washington and Lee’s football team, students, and alumni that attended the game in Knoxville last week.Prior to the game and after the battle, one could hardly realize hewas a supporter of an opponent’s team. When you are in Knoxville it is your town; the natives come last. An institution that will provide a sixty- piece band to play for an opponent, cheer, clap, and congratulate opponent plays as did Tennessee students and alumni is an insti- tution made up of people who have per- sonality and hospitality plus. Never has any opponent of a Washing- ton and Lee team been as cordial and hos- pitable as Tennessee. The wonderful recep- tion offered by Knoxville people has form- ed a close bond of friendship between the Tennessee and Virginia institutions. In 1929 the Vols are met on Virginia soil, let’s show Tennessee that Washington and Lee appreciates her royal welcome and hospitality, and can give a real Southern reception too.

YEARLII‘-IG l'V‘l."*.'i,‘.‘vlICl“J i’lTTED IN BATTLE THURSDAY (Continued from page one) this week principally in the tech- nique of offensive and defensive. »Various methods of keeping an opponent down, and of getting him out of position are being practiced. The yearling squad shows an imposing array of talent, but is still too early to suggest the prob- able team. Coach Mathis is being capably assisted by his brother, Wayne, a transfer from Illinois, in the training of the freshmen. Geting from underneath by means of the double wristlock and the sit-through is being especially emphasized at this week’s work- outs. There are an unusually large number of men out for the var- sity and freshmen wrestling teams this year. This is undoubtedly a result of the new ruling" passed by the athletic council last spring to the effect that members of the varsity wrestling team are eligi- ble for major sport monograms. Coach Mathis has named these men as members of the varsity squad: Barkus, Stutz, Bowes, Kes- sles, and Sharove, 115 pounders; Ne1501L Kaplan, Frank, Halpern and SP3YkS, 125 poundsere; Rule, Davis, Palmer and Pomeroy, 135 pounders; Belser, Gautier, Levin, ' Paddock, Sperry, Thorington, VVi1_ hams, Rash, and Brundage, 145 P011Y1d€FS; Hall, Lewis, and Madi- son, 158 poundcrs; Bolton and Clark, 175 pounders.

General; Meet Cavaliers For Fourteenth Time This Week-end Virginia Holds Upper Hand With Nine Vic- tories To Four Defeats By Mike Washington and Lee will meet teenth time in, gridiron history, Cavaliers face each other on ville, this Saturday. Leibowitz Virginia for the four- when the Generals and the Lambeth field, in Charlottes- The very terms “Generals” and “Cavaliers” bring a score of memories of hard-fought contests, bitter rivalry, and undergraduate enthusiasm. The gridiron heroes of a decade ago are ever present during the hectic days that precede the battle, and old grads storm the stadium hoping to see a Blue and White eleven trample on the squad from Charlottesville. Heroes Receive Honor The names of Eddie Cameron, Ty Rauber, Mike Palmer, Wilson, Tilson, “Horse” Tips, Cy Young, Mattox, Silverstein, Barrett and a host of others receive further honor as their deeds against the Orange and Blue are remember- ed. Washington and Lee has a score to setle with the Virginians Saturday. The Orange and Blue hosts have twice defeated the Generals when it seemed the Gen- erals were unbeatable, and the series of games played since the resumption of athletic activity in 1922, Last year the Blue and White had the better team according to the pre-game dope, but the Ca- valiers surprised with an offense that took advantage of every op- portunity to score, and were re- turned the victors, 13-7. 1926 Big Surprise In 1926, the Generals were pre- x(ll{’t‘d(l to win by two touchdowns, but Virginia came across with a passing atack that VVashington and Lee had no defense for, and they swamped the Blue and White 30,31’. It is a curious thing, but in all’ the games Virginia has been the underdog, she has always won by passes. “Greasy” Neale is one of the trickiest coaches in the Conference, and his teams are famed for their craftiness. Previous years have seen the Virginia team with a strong back- field and a powerful line that could bear the brunt of attack, when their passing offense failed to click, but Neale’s main trouble this year has been the unreliabil- ity of his backfield. “Lefty” Close is his only outstanding back, while Luke and Symington are his best linesman. Flippin, stellar wingman of last year, is out and will not play contrary‘ to the expectations of the Old Dominion football fans. Injuries Take Toll Injuries have taken their toll of the Cavaliers, whose record 15 unimpressive. They started off with a bang, but seem to have lost their punch. The tie game with Princeton is the only re- deeming feature of an otherwise U-1’1D1’C>niising schedule. Washington and Lee started their season with a rush scoring 94 points to their opponents 6 in the first two game, but in the fol- lowing three battles, they have been able to score but seven points. The same problem that dropped Virginia from the heights is met in the Generals camp. Injupries to several members of the squad and the general smashing as a result of the N. C. State game has blasted away the conference hopes of the Generals. ,Washington and Lee’s record to date, is none too impressive, but it shows up better than Virginia. Virginia has won one game, tried one and lost three, while Washington and Lee has won two and lost three. Virginia has lost three times in the conference while the Blue and White has but two defeats in this group. State Champions As far as Southern Conference hopes go, neither the Generals nor the Cavaliers have a chance, but it is the matter of the state championship that fronts the ‘Generals. The Orange and Blue lhave been eliminated from the lrace by its defeat at the hands of the Keydets, while Washington and Lee will face its first real test in the state Saturday. The present season is far from a failure. Virginia, V. P. I. and Maryland can all be beaten and Washington and Lee will have a strong claim to sectional honors as any of the gridiron squads in the state. There are but few that beleive that the General’s haven't better than an even chance to win, but by time the game rolls round, there will be but one thought in the minds of every Washington and Lee man and he will catch erals—beat Virginia.” Records Show 1890—Virginia, 46; W&L 0. 1900-—Virginia 28; W&L 0. 1901—Virginia 28; W&L 0. 1902—Virginia 16; W&L 0. 1903—Virginia 16; W&L ‘O. 1904—Virginia 17; W&L 0. 1907—W&L 6; Virginia 5. 1922—Virginia 22; W&L 6. 1923——W&L 7; Virginia 0. 1924——W&L 20; Virginia '7. 1925—W&L 12; Virginia 0. 1925-Virginia 30; W&L 7. 1927-—Virginia 13; W&L '7.

Smith, when taken to the hos- pital, was unconscious and it was several hours before he regained consciousness. He was not able to see for some time.During the first week his sight improved, but it was not until several days later, that this faculty became normal] again. Because of this mishap Smith will probably not engage in foot- ball again this year. He is a sen- ior in the school of commerce and his home is at Ivy Depot, Virginia.

Nov 1-2 Evelyn Brent William Powell added Charlie Chase “LIMOUSINE LOVE” Admission 20c—40c Saturday, Nov. 3rd Matinee and Night AMONG THE BOOKS With Don Mikel “The Road To Heaven,” Thom- as Beer, Alfred A. Knopf, N. Y. C., $2.50. “This is the story of Lamon Coe who knew that what he wanted had no value but still wanted it, of Abner Coe who wanted nothing and of Frankie De Lima, who al- ways got more or less what she wanted and likediit. It is a study of characters, accidentally Amer- ican, who have always existed, as they exist in New York of the year 1926.” Thus does Thomas Beer de- scribe the plot of his latest novel, and such it is. The same satiric brilliance with which he etched the sickly purple ‘90’s in the “Mauve Decade” is brought by Beer to cast its x-ray light on a slender strata of typical America. Again there is the “oblique light, followed by volleys of silver laughter,” again there is the gen- ius for delineating truth and de- tail, again there is the diabolical cleverness of diction and the wholesale slaughter of sham and hypocrisy. Truth, naked truth, in all its ugliness is paraded without pity’or adornment, for instant and painful recognition. From the safety of intellectual impudence this strange anachro- nism toys with human foibles, casting epigrammatic saber thrusts between ironic caresses and satiric slaps. “Literature is a parade of apes in a gallery lined with cracked mirrors.” The re- mark is typical. Again—“The country is full of death. Old forms and laws and customs crawled out of the sea to die here, comforta- bly. Fag-ends of chivalry and hunks of stale religion——have a_ sandwich?” Beer is smiling, cyn- ically. The pungency of his aro- matic truths mingled with the subconscious regality of Abner Coe. The effervescing degeneracy of the family of Ryan mingles with the sophomoric casuistry of Lamon Coe, and the gallery en- larges to admit Frankie De Lima. tal heresy of the children of Pur- itan indiscretions is sharply punc- tuated with naked pictures of Life in still photography. Beer is sad, protesting. But he hastens to cover his sentiment beneath a blanket of rhetorical tapestry. Perhaps it is this effort to es- cape the morbidness of reality which caused him to throw so much of his energy into character. Their sketching is so delicate as to be almost shadowy, but they are always real and human. They are bits of the common driftwood, thrown together for a moment fickleness of transition. Some are when the maelstrom turns whim- sical, cast apart again with the caught at the apex and whirled under, some are twisted together inextricably, some are cast far out to fall within the magnetism of another force. New York ‘is a pot of shifting ingredients, al- ways changing, yet always the same. In the structure of his plot and the handling of his characters Beer has shown himself a master novelist, as he is a master his- torian and biographer. Some queer genius for vivid typographical «portraiture enables him to cast a white light on the subjects of his thought, and clearly they re- flect the refulgance of his a‘r‘c. He is not merely a philological acrobat, a practitioner of epi- grams and aphorisms. He is a ’consummate artist skilled to mas- tery, with a deep knowledge of Life, and a love and sentiment for mankind which he ineffect- ually tries to hide. Life is a speck of dust, ‘blown in a soap bubble and left to float for timeless aeons on a backwater of stagnant drivel. The heriditary insolvency ‘of art sneers at the congealed ganglia of Puritanism and the mutilated corpse of De- mocracy. The Road to Heaven is the road of our hearts. “The Road to Heaven” has been The psychological hernia and men- received by the University Li- brary and is available to students. Untimely “Hi” E mbarassing Many Times “Hi!” And the student walks on embarrassed, for he has been met with a stare of surprise. How many times has this happened to Washington and Lee students who are visiting in nearby towns or home on vacation, forgetting that they no longer are walking through Lexington, unconsciously they let the tim-honored salutation slip out? One student tells this story. While off on a week-end visit to Lynchburg he strolled down the street in front of the Virginian hotel. Seeing a figure come by, he naturally raised his head and said, “Hi!” only to find himself facing an old negro woman who toothlessly grinned back at him, and answered, “Hello dere, white boy.” It was some time before the nonplussed gentleman regained his usual demeanor. Back home during vacation the tradition manifests itself in fami- liarly saluting taxi-cab drivers, boot-leggers, and street-corner loungers until one becomes re-ac- customed. More blushes have been aroused by this harmless proce- dure, from any other. But probably the most embar- rassing situation (or perhaps the most delightful) is that caused by automatically greeting a fair dam- F rosh Harriers ~ Will Entertain Two State Teams As one of the features of Home Coming Day, November 17, Wash- ington and Lee’s yearling cross country squad will play host to entries in the annual state_ meet. This competition will mark the lone appearance of the fresh har- riers this season. The race is scheduled to end on Wilson field prior to the V. P. I. game as the varsity is also en- tertaining the Virginia entries in a cross country trek to culminate during the halves of the gridiron fray. 4 ' Stiffening the training paces and often sending his men over the course with the varsity, Coach Forest Fletcher is gradually pick- ing his starters. Although the team does not appear to be ex- ceptionally strong as a whole it is evident that John Broderick of ,Yonkers, N. Y. is going to be a ‘real threat for the “Little Gen- erals.” Racing with the varsity last Thursday, Broderick placed fourth with only seasoned har- riers before him. The seven men timed over the course who seem to have an edge ‘on ,their competitors are Broderick Champlin, Coe, Kempton, Lynch, C011 and Lightfoot. :—~——0 Intra-Mural Teams Three Religions ln Sttident-Body Presbyterians Lead Denom- inations With 272 Mem- bers; Methodists 2nd Three different sixteen Christian denominations are represented in the student bodylof Washington and Lee, it was announced today by E.

How Gold Prospector " Went Scotch” Minneapolis, Minn. Larus & Bro. Co. April 30, 1928 Richmond, Va. Dear Sirs: Two years ago last winter I went into the Red Lake gold fields in Canada. It was a tough trail from Hudson, over 140 miles of snow and ice. There were fourteen of us on.the trail going in, and frequently at night when seated around a big camp fire, some one would ask me for a pipeful of Edgeworth. These Canadian boys sure like our Edgeworth. In four weeks’ time I ran out of Edgeworth. I was glad to get ’most any old tobacco. One day, however, I dropped in to Darl Brown’s tent, at 72--lycar» old pros- pector, and seeing a can of Edgeworth on an improvised table, back there 150 miles from the “steel,’.’ I perked up at once, saying, “Dad, I’m plum out of t0baCcO—hc—n.v’s (:‘rr.iiccs for a_ pipe- iul?” “II:-lp yourself,” lie S3.lCl."anS0 pulling rwjr heavy duty pipe from my pocket, I 10.1 ierl it Edgeworth, packing it in so i at I couldn’t get the least bit craw.
