' at Duke Saturday . 1927 FROSH SQUAD FOR. STEADY WORK Having Studied Fundamentals, Little Generals Are Now Ready For Intensive Drills With two weeks of drill in the fundamental principles" of gridiorn warfare behind them, the “Little Gen- erals,” under the expert tutelage of Coach E. P. Davis, have rounded into excellent shape, and are ready to be- gin with their more strenuous prac- tise sessions commencing Monday. The next two weeks, according to Coach Davis, will be spent in learn- ing new plays and trying them out aganist -the Varsity deserves, and in gruelling scrimmages to keep the “men in shape. The first of the week Coach Davis wil divide the inmmense squad into sections so that each_wil_l1get more de- tailed instruction. There will be two sections, A and B, with the more ex- perienced material in the former. Although no outstanding luminar- ies have yet been uncovered, a well balanced outfit has been moulded and the coaches have every reason to be- lieve that the “Little Generals” of 1927 will do credit to the school and will form a substantial nucleus for the Varsity next season. The mentors will experience little difficulty in finding men to fill the backfield postions, as a wealth of fast experienced material is on hand. In Faulkner and Thibadeau Coach Davis has apair of ball-carriers that will be hard to equal in Southern frosh circles. ‘In recent scrimmages they have exhibited an encouraging brand of ball, on both the offense and defense. ‘ Harvey, Couniham, Jacobs, Brund- age and Grant have also given an ac- count of themselves in the ground- gaining department, and are waging a fierce battle among themselves for the regular positions. Other can- didates who have shown promise in the backfield are 'Carr_uthers, S_ande_rs, Flagg, Shields, Steitman, and Rich- ardson. ‘ The’ line is where keen judgment willbe forced into play to determine the logical first-stringers. For every position there are several evenly matched candidates,. For ends, Wil- liams, Grenshaw and Long seem to have the upper-hand at present. Cox has also been scintillating in the wing-position and will give the others .a merry battle for their laurels be- fore the opening curtain on October 14. DeVine, Tiller, Stemmons and Pat- terson are at present leading the field of tackles, but Cook, Stillwell, Tallyn, and Freidman are giving them a high brand of competition. For the guard positions Clark, Ma- lone, Cook and Corpeneing seem to be out in front, but they are being push- ed by Mellon; Munger, Davis and Burn. Perhaps the keeneest competetion is being waged for cetner. Four men seem to have the pivot position all sewed up, but the task will present‘ itself in the choosing of one. Groop appears a little more likely than his brother centers, but the superiority is hardly discernible. . Clark is’ good enough to keep Groop from loafing, and Winston and Gray keep Clark on the jump.

Does: the University’ pull to rnako inoncy rut of everything connected with it‘! To some it might seem that way, and to them the following statistics are directed. " From April 1, 1926 to April 1, 1027, the University paid the Jackson Memorial hgspital :1pproxiinat<-ly $1900.00, or 2.00 per student, a day. The record "shows that there l04 persons in the hospital during the year, each person averaging around seven days each. There were 927 students enrolled in the University during last year. Each paid $2.00 a year, in the general expense fund, as insurance protection against going to the hospital roughly $1850.00 in all. Thus it is evident that the University lost about $50.00. Some years the University loses heavily; others, it gains some. The rocords show that in the session ’24- ’25 there were 156 in the hospital; uring ’25-'26, 204;‘ during ’28—’27 T04. joy.“ Publicity Sent Out O12 ‘r Million Words One million five hundred_ thousand word__' "were clistr'ihi1te( last year. - A million of thés words were sent out during the S.

A number of freshmen have called in- quiring as to the seriousness of their appendix, but when the physician brought forth his instruments for ex- amination, they also disappeared. For the future accomodation of VVashington and Lee students, three of the rooms are being remodeled and newly equipped. This, it is thought, will fully take care of all the future hospital list. First Informal To Be Held October 8 R. C. Latham, president of the Cotillion club, announced that the opening informal of the year will be given October 8, the night after the Duke game. The music will be fur- nised by the Southern Collegians who promise to have the finest orchestra assembled since the organization started. Anyone desiring a ticket for a guest may secure one by seeing Bill Owen or Latham. All members of the Duke football team will be honorary guests of the Cotillion club and will receive a blanket invitation. Those Duke students who accompany the team will also receive invitations to the dance.

Back in the ’G0 the school neces- sarily had to close its doors when practically the entire student body enlisted under the Confederate flag. School could not be carried on with- out students. affected Again when the nation was aroused in 1018 by the big fight “across the pond” the enrollment at Washington and Lee droppedzperceptibly. Educational authorities have de- clared that at Washington and Lee we have the typical southern uni- sity. The characteristics and conven- tions of the South have been trans- mitted to its offspring. The tree has been inclined. Today on our campus we find 865 men.‘ According to the University officials it is a matter of conjecture as to how many men were unable to come to Washington and Lee this fall on account of the great Mis- sissippi flood. The enrollment from the Mississippi valley, usually the source of much Washington and Lee material, has dropped a great deal. Students have been forced to drop the pursuit of an education in order to work to aid in abating the loss caused by the calamity. Disaster in the South again has left its footprint here at Washington and Lee-—and once more evidence may be offered that Washington and Lee is typically southern.

M. members of the making this entertainment one which surpassed even the first one. This was given principally in honor of the new members of the Faculty and administration. The reception was under the di- rection of Professor Latture and Mr. Craig Patterson, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. They were assisted in ar- ranging the evening’s program by Mr. Mattingly and Professor Coan. The object of the committee, how- ever, was not to arrange a lengthy program, but to provide an eveing which would be a social meeting for all members of the faculty. This was the intention with which the enter- tainments were begun last year. Mrs. Bauer gave a reading of one of O. Henry's stories, and was en- cored several times. Following her readings Dr. H. V. Shelly played sev- eral classical selections on the piano. Both Mrs. Bauer and Dr. Shelly are accompished artists, and their selec- tions were greatly enjoyed. The two receptions which have been held have met with so much favor that the Faculty will probably con- tinue to hold some such affair at beginning of each school year. In this way the new members become socially acquanited with the other faculty members in addition to being acquainted with them in a business way. __.__0_:__ Coach Fletcher Holds First Fall Practices In Track This Year Coach Fletcher has started fall track practice this year for’ the fiirst time. A large number of men have turned out and things are getting well under way. Practice will last into December if the the weather permits. As it is now every candidate, either for freshman or Varsity, reports three days a week, choosing any three days he wishes, between 3:30 and 5:30. Coach Fletcher states that the object of fall practice is twofold. The first is to get the men in better shape for next spring, while the second is to give men who are interested in this type of sport a chance to work out. Each man is given an opportunity to work in his own special line. The one reason why this fall prac- tice has not been given before was on account of lack of facilities. Since the new cinder track has been com- pleted track practice will be given every fall. Thereare between 30 and 35 men out for the Varsity and an equal number out for freshman track. Coach Fletcher says that he observes a numbre of freshman appear likely possibilities, and that the freshman team this year should be better than in the past few years. 0 Dr. Desha Comments On U. Functions When asked for a statement re- garding control of the dances, Dr. Desha, Chairman of the Faculty Committee on Social Functions said: “Control of the dances at, Wash- ington and Lee is vested entirely in the hands of the thorugh its Dance Control committee under the terms of the Dance regula- tion adopted jointly by students and faculty two years ago. During the last session, this system had the full ,-support of the student government and of practically all individual mem- bers of the student body and the results were highly satisfactory to all of us. I have every reason to be- lieve that this cooperation will con- tinue this year and look forward to nothing except dances conducted in a. manner which will be plaesing to all loyal Washington and Lee men. I can onl yadd that I hope all new students will thoroughly familiarize them- selves with the regulation in order that they may do nothing to cause discredit to themselves or to the in- stitution.” 0 Most of us work all right after we get started, but we’re hard to start.

The production is a three act farce by Owen Davis,‘ under the title of “Easy Come,,Easy Go.” The play has been secured’ for presentation under special arrangement with Samuel French, of New York, and is expected to score a hit as it is one full of huimorous situations and un- forseen complications, which present themselves at the most unexpected times. - Mr. Thames, under whose direction the play will‘ be -produced, states that the cast includes most promis- ing material, and that he and the executive committee of the Troub- adours as well,‘ are well pleased with the outlook. .

TRADITIONAL SPEAKING VER since the beginning of time, or at least as far back as the oldest living alumnus can remember, Washington and Lee rncr have made it a practice to speak to each other every time they meet or pass. This custom has not been confined to the campus proper, but has extended to the town of Lexington and even to whereever members of the student body might happen to meet, whether it be in Lynchburg, Paris, Roanoke, or London. The feeling of solidarity, of friendship, and of common in- terests engendered by this peculiar tradition is one which endears the university to all who have ever had the privilege of st.u: within its lialls, and has been one of the most powerful factors in the building up of an active body of alumni whereever there are sufficient graduates or former students to form an organization. Any tendency to weaken the natural desire or habit of repeating the familiar “Hi, Gentlemen” has always caused distress among the older members of the student body, who recall any number of instances where the familiar phrase has been as welcome as a letter from home when heard on the streets of some far—away city. Certain members of this year’s freshman class seem to take the attitude that the addressing of the old men and members oi the faculty before being spoken to amounts to something in the nature of a condescension. This feeling is perhaps engendered in them because the speaking is made the subject of one of the The feeling of inequality is the last object in the it regulations governing frosh conduct only for the purpose of im- freshman rules. world sought by the rule, however, and is inserted in the pressing upon the new men’s minds the seriousness of the neces- sity of abiding by the custom. If the new men, and particularly those who have a tendency to ignore the speaking tradition, will take stock of the situation and place themselves in the position of old men or of the alumni who frequently visit the campus, we feel that they cannot help but realize the soundness of the insistence by the Freshman Council on the inforccment of the rule. Speaking is one of the marks of a Washington and Lee gentlemen, has been for many years, and is one of the chief distinguishing marks which dif- ferentiates this campus from that of the majority of colleges and universities in America.

A The service of announcing meetings, acquainting the student body with conditions as they exist at Washington and Lee, in-l, troducing changes in personal or physical property about thel campus, of giving all possible advance information about coming: events in the world of sports, campus activities, and other schools,l and of giving clear and interesting accounts of happenings of! interest to the students is performed here by the RING—TUM PHI. The same condition exists here this year that has botheredl business staffs in the past, however——the paucity of subscriptions) among the students. The alumni of the university have rallied] nobly to the support of the paper, and the number of paid up subscribers among those who have never had any active con- nection with Washington and Lee at all is small, but iievertheless gratifying. t is the student support in the way of subscriptions that is disappointing, however, and without this support the paper is prevented from being of the service which it hopes to be on the campus. Notices for legitimate student organizations are pub- lished whenever requested, information on what is happening on the campus is given fully, and advance dope on "coming events is played up as fully as the individual merits of the events warrant. The work is going for naught, however, if it does not reach practically every man attending school, and it will not reach him if he is not a subscriber. A renewed canvass will probably be made of the students within the next week by the members of the subscription staff and it is hoped that the men will rally to the support of the paper, not only because it is a financial requisite for the contin- uance of publication, but because of the service which will be rendered the individual subscribing.

Their mothers do not know what they are “up to” when they get away from home, she declared. The two greatest causes of vice, according to Mrs. Pettigrew, are the automobile and -‘smoking. She says that when people had to walk or ride in buggies they did not have such wild ideas about speed or “flying around.” Smoking ruins the boys, she believes, because it dulls their brains, and puts) ideas in their heads that they would not have otherwise. Mrs. Pettigrew is very much in favor of supressing these two forms of evil in order to improve the condition of the students. After Mrs. Petigrew finished sur- veying the last two decades, she de- cided that the students were much quieter and more courteous than in the past. She also thinks that the honor system at Washington and Lee is a wonderful institution, because it has improved the conduct of the young men in many ways. She said the honor system has made students muct more considerate of the local tradespeople and consequently the merchants are never troubled with any form of dishonesty from the source. It is Mrs. Pettigrew’s belief that if the honor system continues to function as effectively as it does at present, in a few more years the con- duct of the student body as a whole will be far superior to that of any university in the country. Only Five Students Buy Town Licenses Only five Lexington automobile licenses have been purchased by stu- dents this fall according to T. L. Owen, town treasurer. There were nearly thirty bought by student car owners last year. This does not show a falling off in the number of auto- mobiles on the campus, however, since the town records show that a Christmas, when a census was taken of resident car owners. How soon this check will be taken for this year is uncertain. 0 Glee Club Has Meeting The Glee Club had itsfirst meet- ing last night with about 50 men re- ' porting .

M. Gar- rison, editor-in-chief of the 1927-28 Mink staff at the first meeting, held last Tuesday night at Newcomb hall. The offices of editor-in—chief and managing editor, held’ by Garrison and William Plummer, are the only positions on the staff already filled, thus leaving a large number of va- cancies to be occupied by new men. The tryouts, which will extend over a period of two numbers, the October 15 number and the special November 5 football issue, will be on a cofnpetitive basis, and new men will be selected on merit alone. Copies of the football number will be sold at the Virginia game. —~—:0 Examinations Have Been Completed Now Nearly Three Hundred New Men Choose Own Form Of Physical Exercises Professor Forest Fletcher, head of l the department of physical education, announced yesterday that the fresh- men physical examinations had been completed, and that 290 freshmen had ' been examined up to that time. At the time of the examination, each freshman was interviewed as to his athletic experience and preference, and each was given an opportunity to select his exercise for the first semester. Effort was made by those in charge to get ‘as many as possible into com- pctitiveisports and keep the gym classes small. - The electives given and the ap- proximate number of freshmen who chose the various sports were: frosh football sixty, cross-country ten, wrestling twenty-five, swimming team forty, swimming classes ten, gym team ten, and gym classes forty. The largest freshman w_eighed 205 pounds, while the smallest one tipped the scales at but 99. The tallest man inl,the class is 6 feet 1 inch, and the shdrtest 5 feet 1 inch. ‘Swimming classes are being con- dui§te(l regularly now by Coach Twom- blylii every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 11 o’clock. Old as weel as freshmen are wel- coitied to attend these classes, and thdse desirous should report to coach Tvtzzombly immediately. E E0 rfiosu TO HOLD SECOND ELECTION MONDAY P. M. Freshman class election returns were incomplete Friday night due to the’? failure of candidates to secure majorities in two of the contests. It was impossible to secure a run-off elelction for these two offices due to the fact that freshmen left the elec- tion before returns were completed. The three offices filled at the meet- ing are as follows: president, F. R. Hajrvey; vice—president, J. M. Stem- moiis; historian, Carl Smith. The elections for Executive com- mitteeman and seéretaity-treasurer wilt be held Monday night at 7:30 o’clbck in the chapel.,.,The contest for'the Executive coinmittee will be run off between Stewart Crenshaw and Enoch Piersol. Seely and Newsom are candidates for the position of secre- tray-treasurer of the class. The Executive committee of the Student Body urges every freshman to attend the elections for the two offices Monday night. ALL CENERALS OPPONENTS ro BATTLE roost Several Intersectional Contests l.isted Among Games Carded By Future Gridiron Opponents All’ followers of the Generals are ,interested in the outcome of the -'g:nnes this Saturday in which Washington {and Lee’s future opponents will take part.

The ‘outcome of this battle is doubtful, ithough some are inclined to favor Maryland. Virginia also leaves its home field to encounter the University of Georgia team at Athens. Earle Neale’s charges will undoubtedly meet much stiffer opposition than that offered by Hamp- den-Sidney last Saturday, whom they easily defeated 30 to 6. V. P. I. on its home field will at- tempt to down the lspunky cl,evcn from Hampden-Sidney. Although the “Gobblers” weren’t so impressive in their 21 to 2 victory over Roanoke last week, they should have no trouble in dealing with the Bcrnicr coached eleven. Florida will also remain at home to tackle the Davidson team from the “Tar Heel” state. Southern university fell before Florida last Saturday to the tune of 26 to 7, but the “Alliga- tors” will undoubtedly find a tougher nut to crack in their game this week. No great estimation of Princeton’s strength can be made from the result of their game with Amherst this Sat- urday, as it is the first encounter for Bill Roper’s Orange and Black eleven this season.

The presence of the University en- ables the ollice to receive a first class . rating which otherwise would be im- possible. The Lexington postoffice showed an income of $41,000 last yca1', $4,000 or 355,00 of which was derived. from the students of the University. The government requires a minimum business of $40,000 each year from all first class postoffices. ‘ There are, at the present time 777 boxes rented by the students. Each student receives on an average of two letters a day. This is one tenth of the total number of letters that enter the office. It is estimated that each student makes three trips a day to to the postoifice for these letters, and since they receive only two on an average, they make one unnecessary trip. A large proportion of student busi—. ness is shown in the parcel-post de- partment. I‘lil‘OIi1 five—hundred pack- ages a day, Washington and Lee re- ceive one—hundred.

Exactly thirty years after. his father was appointed revisor of the code of Virginia, he became incumb- ent of the same office.
