A Student Body assembly was held last Thursday at 1 o’clock in Doremus gymnasium to explain the nature of the rules governing dances, the Dance Control committee, and to ask the co-operation of all students in making the dances a success. Dean Campbell officially opened the assembly and stated that the meeting had been called at the re-- quest of the Executive committee and the president of the Studeny Body in order to explain the dance regula- tions. The Dean then turned the as- sembly over to President E. H. Miller. “Ed” Miller explained how impdFf- and a part of the University the so- cial functions were, in thai. a great many people received their impres- sions of Washington and Lee either from the dances held here or through the report of girls who had attended. “Naturally.” said Iresidcnt Miller, “'I‘hese impressions will be spread around, and it remains to us ti) see that these impressions shall give to the University the reputation it shoul(l have.” Miller then went on to tell the his- tory of the dance regulations, and the development of their present form. He stressed the vital import- ance of gentlemanly conduct at all dances. President Miller then gave the floor to W. J. Dorsey, who explained the contents of the dance regulations and how they were to be followed. R. F. Howe, president of the Mono- gram Club, followed, and talked on the importance of behavior at Home- coming day. He stated that all stu- dents who wished tickets for visitors for the informal, which will be held the night after the Virginia game, could procure them from “Babe” Spotts. President Miller then asked the students that there be no more smok- ing in the gymnasium during dances due to the danger from fire. This action had been requested by one of the Trustees. Graduate Manager R. A. Smith described the progress of the Class Memorial Bridge. He stated that practically all the money ple(l;;'c(l last spring has been collected but that there was still a large amount of money needed. He requested that every one pay his pledges on time. Vcrbon Kemp, Alumni scc1'c’ta1‘y explained the nature of the blanks given to each man who attended the assembly, and asked that all present rc-commend some men who were in- tending to go to college next fall. 0- Monogram Club Will Reorganize At the sr.-con(l meeting of the Mono- gram Club last Thursday evening active steps were taken to return the club to the r<—:cognize1‘!>7-Ilrnitlifily 150 men attended the gridgraph of the Washington and Lei‘-\Vcst Virginia game in the gym last Saturday afternoon.

J. Evening Sun. loth men are now playing with the Buffalo professional football team, and, as roomates, their effects were stolen simultaneously. About a week ago, the Bisons went down to play Pottsville. Carr reached the station about 20 minutes early. As he paced the lobby of this station, a young man approached—smiling and dapper. He extended a hand in greeting, gave Carr the fraternal grip and reel- ed off name after name of friends in Syracuse and Auburn, Carr’s home. He called upon the football player to help him——he was broke, he said, and had nowhere to sleep. Carr had no prodigious time, but ready to brother in distress and impressed with the youth’s knowledge of his Syracuse and Auburn friends, he pro- duced the keys to the apartment he and Van Horn occupy. “Here, buddy,” said he. “We’ve got a couple of football games to play. roll at the aid a fraternity You flop in our place ’till we back.” Murmuring smilling get thanks, the ‘ meetings will be continued indefinite- lv. o___ Rival Crews Take To Water For Fall Training Session With only one letter man left in young man took the keys and 401,31-t_lc:1cli varsity boat, the candidates for ed.

Both crews have practically their entire ‘,sccond ililil freshman boats back and the problem now is to select the men who will fill the varsity shells from these. Reports from the camp indicate that has estal:-lished a regular training schedule and is putting his men through their paces daily on the river. With his victorious junior ,varsity crew of last spring back in- tact, and with additional huskies to pick from, he hopes to produce a com- bination which will avenge the de- feat suffered last spring. Captain Pierpont of the Harry Lee crew has been holding no regular practice sessions, but gets his crew togeilicr at irregular‘ intervals for workout:~:. The second and fresh- crews of last season are out in full force, furnishing the captain with ex- perienced oarsmen to fill the seats left vacant by graduation. Both captains intend to practice until cold weather drives them off the river. The crews will resume heavy ‘workouts in the early spring. Albert Sidney Captain Garvin continue BLUE DEVILS IN HIGH SPIRITS AS KICK-OFF NEARS Many Duke Followers Present This Afternoon At Initial Gridiron Tilt With Generals The battle of battles comes off this afternoon at 2:45 when coach Herron sends his charges against the Blue and White’s former mentor, DeHart. This game has caused more interest in the South than any other game on the schedule thus far. Both teams ’are evenly matched and the game ought to be a hotly contested affair. Spirit of the Duke eleven is at its height since last week the Blue Devils defeated Boston college, giving Bos- ton its first defeat since 1925. Coach DeHart arrived in Lexington this morning with flying colors. Hundreds of Duke followers are ex- pected to witness the game, with a section of the stand set aside for the Duke rooters. Both teams are equally determined to win the setto, as a win by either would greatly strenghten its prestiege in Southern football. Duke seems to be in the pink of condition and present a large husky squad. The Generals are in good con- dition with the lone exception of full- back. White, the regular full, nas been confined to bed for the past two days and it is doubtful if he will be able to start the game or even get into the fray. Barnett, a sophomore, will most likely get the call for this position. Coach DeHart has five great play- ers in Joubeliski, Warren, Weaver, Bolich, and Brummitt. Only one of these is pllaying his first year of var- sity, which means that the team is well seasoned in the Warner style of play. The gridgraph will re-_ ceive by direct wire the entire game, Duke has been pointing for this game since the opening of the prelim- inary training and from all reports are ready to do battle in rare form. The Generals have been unable to point for this game on account of the heavy schedule that has confronted them. Captain Tips, Latham, Spotts, Bar- clay, and Stearns will be playing against their former mentor. Each ' will be out to play his greatest game. Tips has been going at great style all year. Last week he rocked the lWest Virginia linesmen that opposed ihim. Latham is playing his first- } season as a regular but is playing far :above expectations at his new post. lStearns looks like another player. ‘His smashing attack and wonderful ability to size up opponents’ forma- tions has made him most valuable. Barclay has improved and should get off some neat playing in the game when called upon. There is little one can say about Spotts other than he is “the South's (Continued on Page Four) 'P.D. E.

WELCOME HOME, JIMMY LUE will battle Blue on Wilson Field this afternoon when Jim- my DeHart and his Duke Blue Devils meet the Blue and White cohorts of Washington and Lee under the tutelage of Pat Herron, and the resulting game will carry much more than casual football interests to both coaches, both teams, and to the entire two upper classes of both institutions. a Just two years ago DeHart was head football mentor here, while at the same time Herron held the destinies of Duke’s rising star in his hands. At the start of spring training for the 1926 campaign, the two exchanged places, Herron coming here as head football coach and DeHart going to Duke in a year-round capacity of di- rector of athletics and football coach. At the same time, he took with him to the Durham university two former Blue and White captains who had learned their football under him, Eddie Cameron ' and Tex Tilson, as assistant coaches of the backfield and line. In addition to this interrelationship, the directing heads of the two teams played together under the grand old man—“Pop” Warner —at Pitt during their collegiate careers. Today Washington and Lee welcomes back Jimmy and his team. Not as enemies do they come, however, but as friendly rivals in what local sentiment hopes will be an annual game.

We would like to feel that every stu- dent is back of us, at least to the extent of assisting in a small finan- cial way, but if any one is not, we hope that there will be nothing said or done which will lead him to think that his support is being forced. The ' work is student work, and if the students do not support it, the ex- penditures will have to be cut to meet the income.

Time was when almost every captain was a backfield man. Today, how- ever, a survey of 410 colleges shows that 284 play in the forward line, while 176 are in the backfield. Once, the quarterback, if he was worth a dime, was apt to be captain. Now, there are but 57 quarterbacks who are also captains. Tackles have 66 captaincies, and guards, 64. Of all, fullbacks are most popular, 83 of them having been called to lead their 1 and were welcomed by the president, Square and Compass Holds First Smoker The Washington and Lee Square of the Square and Compass fraternity opened its activities for the session Tuesday evening by holding a smoker in the local Masonic Club rooms for all the new Masons on the campus. A number of new men were present H. G. Funkhouser, and other members of the Square with short talks on the value of cultivating fraternal rela- tionships. Light refreshments were served. This session marks the eleventh year of the existence of the frater- nity, which has had a very rapid growth since its birth on this campus in 1917. Chapters or “Squares,” as they are known, are located in over forty of the leading colleges of the country. The national offices are maintained here with Dr. William M. Brown as the national secretary. The Washington and Lee Square has been quite active for the past three years. It has a degree team which has been called upon to func- tion in various Masonic lodeges in the valley. The Square also publishes a maga- zine called “The Rockbridge Mason.” 0:___ Warns Bootleggers To Avoid Colleges The student and the bootlegger must stop fraternalizing on the col- lege campus, says Assistant Secre- tary Lowman, “dry chief.” He has instructed prohibition administrators not only to keep unusual watch for such activity on the campuses, but to give special attention to roadhouses adjacent to colleges where bootleg- gers are known to congregate large numbers. A special drive to dry up institu- tional cases already has resulted in several successful raids, Lowman declares. These were made at the request of heads of schools unnamed. 0 Bauer Negotiating For Oxford Debate Professor Bauer of the department of public speaking has been negotiat- ing for some time for a debate with an English team. The English team will be composed of three selected men from three leading universities of English: Edinburgh Glasgow, and Reading. These men will be chosen from applicants by the world famous Oxford Union, which has nurtured the great speakers of Eng- land for the past century.

This is the age of steam, and steel and applied science. The battles of to-day and of to-mor- row in America are to be won by the ’I‘RAINED MIND, not by mere hand- shaking or popular manners, or the crowd’s vote. The besetting sin of the American campus of today is the shallow and immature exaggeration of campus friendships, outside “activities” and cmapus social popularity. .,The stu- dent who believes that these are more important in after life then abstract book learning and a trained mind is on the road toward future defeat and a mournful disillusion.

Senator Caleb E. Baumes, chairman of the commission and father of New York’s famous Baume criminal code, has this to say of the propsal: I regard the first offender act, to tion, as one of our leading proposals. The first offender ought to have straight. I am speaking now of the‘ man or woman whose heart is not hardened against society, and who has no previous criminal record. We would like to throw around the prison areer of such an offender an vironment which would help and not hinder. Cl'l~ 0 Ultimately, what isn’t good for all of us, isn’t good for any of us.

A glance at last week’s scores would probably give at least a small amount of “dope” on W. and L.’s chances of coming through one of the hardest schedules the Big Blue Team has ever had. A week from today Captain Tipps and his warriors engage Princeton's formidable Tiger in his lair. Last week Princeton defeated Amherst 14 to 0. Today they play Lc-high in what will be a good game if foriner scores are taken as an indicator. Princeton should win, and most probably will, but they will konw they've had some opposition. Kentucky takes a breathing spell today when it meets Kentucky Wes- leyan at Lexington. Last Saturday the Widcats found the going too tough and came out on the short end of a 21 to 0 score against Indiana. Gammage is endeavoring to perfect a deceptive pass attack for his light, fast team before the W. and L. game. Maryland played great football to defeat South Carolina last week, and today it encounters a stiffer opponent in the Univeristy of North Carolina. No great effort is anticipated, how- ever, for the storng Maryland team. From all accounts Maryland has not only a heavy, powerful team, but also an unusually succesful passing game which its opponz-nts to date have been unable to stop. The Univeristy of Virginia engages South Carolina today. But after the terrific drubbing they regeived at the hands of the University of Georgia Harry Neale’s men are something of 0 Dance Regulations The following are vio- lations of the Dance Regulation: Attending a n evening dance after taking a drink later than 4 p. m. or attend- ing any other dance after drinking within six hours of the announced opening time. Entering or attempting to enter the Gym in an intoxi- cated condition while a dance is in progress, whether for the purpose of dancing or otherwise. Having possession o f liquor in the Gym while the dance is in progress. The penalty for viola- tion of the Dance Reg- lation shall be immedi- ate removal from the Gym, and: For a student, disbarment from all dances for a period of one calender year follow- ing the offence; provided that the penalty for posses- sion of liquor in the Gym during a dance shall be dis- barment from all dances for a period of two calendar years following the offense; provided further, that for members of the Dance Regu- Golf Practice To Begin In Few Days Washington and Lee golfers, under the direction of Captain George Lan- ier, have not yet officially begun practice, but plans are being made for workouts to start in the near future. Of last year’s team only two men remain, Captain Lanier and W. A. Ward, four having been lost through graduation. These men, coupled with Willie Chandler and Larry llutt from last year’s frosh outfit, will form the backbone of this year’s ag- gregation. Berry Wilson and Mark Lyons, prominent members of last year’s freshman team, were unable to return to school this year. A match with Virginia in the moi'n- ing before the football game with that school is being considered. This will probably be the only match played this fall. m0”__.._ Science Clubs To Have Joint Meet Gamma Sigma Epsilon, chemical fraternity, and the local Biological society have scheduled their first joint ineeting of the year for Tliursda_v of next week, officers of the two organ- izations announced today. The ses- sion, which it is hoped will be but the first of a series of similar meetings to be held by these two clubs, will be open at 7:30 o’clock. No formal program has been drawn up. but several short talks will be given by members of the two so- sieties on topics related to their werk, and an informal smoke and “feed” will be held after the mceting. an unknown quantity. Probably they will brace today, but it is a cinch that the Gainecoks will give them a real battle. ' V. P. 1., after defeating HampRA'2EI! ~ KEG U. s. YA"-‘. ow. Stores inrN.ew York, l5rookl_\ii.
