V. P. I. Backs Come
To Life To Romp
On South Carolina

Though predicted by the dopesters
to be the team that would equal
Pittsburg’s World series record of
losing four in a row, the Pony Ex-
press of V. P. I. upset all forecasts
by swamping the South Carolina
Gamecocks, 35 to 0 last Saturday.
From all reports the Gobblers have
at last found themselves after a
peculiar season.

Athletic Association Arranges VVith
Townes Bus Line For Special
Busses For Blacksburg Trip.

Arrangements with Townes Bus
Line for special busses to Blacks-
burg for the game with Virginia
Tech have just been completed by
the athletic association and the exe-
cutive committee of the student body.
These will take the place of the
special train which is usually run
every year for this game.

This event occurred
in the last half of Saturday’s affair

when the Blacksburg team electri-
fied the Richmond grandstands by
running through the entire Game-
cock eleven for four touchdowns in
fifteen minutes. This was Tech’s
first victory since the day they be-
came famous by defeating Colgate a
month ago. A comparison of scores
after this game is interesting.
South Carolina beat Virginia, the
Cavaliers won out over V. P. I.,'
and the Gobblers ran through the
Gamecocks‘ 35-0. Who wants to pre-
dict this week’s outcome?

The round trip fare to Blacksburg
will be $4.50 from Lexington. These
tickets will be good on all busses
from Friday noon until Sunday
night. This makes it possible for
those wishing to leave Friday after
classes to take advantage of the
special round trip rate.

Special busscs will leave Lexing-
ton early Saturday morning for
Blacksburg. The exact time and
place of their departure will be post-
ed on the bulletin board in the
Corner within the next few days.
It has been assured that enough
busses will be on hand to carry all
students who wish to go, although
all must buy tickets by noon Friday.

other step in their fight for the

The members of the English de-

of this debating tour is to encour-

Likewise, if enough students want
to remain in Roanoke Saturday
night, a bus will stop over there
until 12:30 that night, then return

It is expected that a large number
of students will make the trip to

Monogram Dance
Saturday Evening
Is Gay Occasion

Once more Doremus gymnasium
became the center of colorful life
and glowing youth at the Monogram
club dance Saturday night. Approxi-
mately 650 boys and 200 girls were
present for the evvening’s festivities.

Music was furnished by the South-
ern Collegians, who got off on the
latest hits in their best and most
attractive style. Old and new faces
were seen in the famous hot corner,
where the latest dance steps were
cleverly exhibited. The sting of de-
feat was temporarily forgotten and
the Student body cast aside all wor-
ries to assume a care free and happy
spirit which resounded throughout
the evening’s joy.

Hundreds of girls from nearby
school and neighboring states graced
the floor with their beauty and charm

According to R. F. Howe, presi-
dent of the Monogram club, the
dance went off with the best order
and was successful from every stand-
point. Mirth and joy were not sup-
pressed, but rowdiness and shines
were not in evidence. Howe said. “I
appreciate the co—operation of the

Over 1000 Alumni
Return For Annual
Home-coming Game

It is estimated that more than
1,000 alumni returned to Washington
and Lee over the past week-end to
witness the game with the Univer-
sity of Virginia. About one-sixth
of all the living graduates were here,
constituting the largest gathering of
alumni in the history of the insti-

tution.

Three hundred were present at a.
luncheon ‘which celebrated the formal
opening of the new Alumni head-
quarters, now located in the old
Journalism building. The luncheon,
under the supervision of Verbon
Kemp, was held between the V. M.

Saturday

Taking advantage of the breaks
of the game the Cavaliers of the
University of Virginia defeated the
Generals here Saturday afternoon in
their annual battle, 13 to 7. The
game was hard fought throughout,
and it was not until the Generals’
last effort was repulsed by Sloan,
alert Cavalier halfback, in the final
minutes of play that the game’ was
decided.

Coach Herron’s eleven outcharged
and outplayed their opponents in
every department of the game, but
couldn't overcome the handicap of
the breaks in the first quarter of
the contest. On the other hand,
the Cavaliers presented a stiff de-
fense at crucial moments and out-
guessed the Generals, which ulti-
mately accounted for the victory.

The game Saturday carried with it
the state championship and marked
the first time in twenty-five years
that the Cavaliers have beaten the
Generals on the local field. Virginia
already held victories over V. P. I.
and V. M. I., and Saturday’s win
made it a clean sweep. The Cava-
liers were conceded scant chance be-
fore the game but came through
with a rush to upset the dope.

The first few minutes of the game
found Spotts and Sloan in a punting
duel, with the latter getting the
edge by a good margin. An alert
Cavalier then fell on a Washington
and Lee fumble on the latters’ 8-
yard line, and in four plays put
the ball over for their first touch-
down. Hushion, clever Virginia
quarterback, scored the marker by
a sneak play through center. The
Generals immediately‘, -started‘ a
drive down the field and took the
ball from their own 36 yard line to
their opponents’ 4 yard line, and
four thrusts at the line fell short
of a touchdown by one foot. The
Geenrals’ made other attempts, com-
ing as far as the 6-yard line on an-
other occasion, but here again the
Virginia defense stiffened and held
the charging Blue and White backs.
In the third quarter, the Generals
marched down the field, with Lott

No extra funds came in over the

Forget Virginia. Get V. P. I.

Before that crowd, estimated by
some at 10,000, the Fighting Gen-
erals were losers, but still fighters.
The Roanoke Times stated an at-
tendance of 7,000, but the stands
held 8,500 and each seat was sold
with approximately 1,500 others
present.

With such a crowd, a certain
amount of confusion is to be ex-
pected, and criticism of the way in
which the spectators were handled
has largely been destructive criti-
cism, probably by an individual who
happened to be so unfortunate as
to have his new hat crushed or a
recent shoe shine demolished.

No traffic mishaps of any kind for
the day was reported, though in a
number of cases such incidents as
hooked bumpers, or dented fenders
were but a matter of course. A
squad of ten extra men was on hand
to take care of any over-expressive

bellicose feelings that supporters of

<-ither school might have.

The behavior of the giant crowd,
was, according to officials extremely
good, especially for a Washington
and Lee—Virginia game. Only twelve
men were jailc-d that day.

Srvcral amusing incidents took
An ovcr—zealou_s Virginia
syinpathizcr endeavored after the
game to try to impress a member
of the Washington and Lee team
that he thought them all to be
cowards, and other things not so
pleasant to mention. Whereupon an
alumnus, a prominent athlete when
a student here, promptly relieved
the Charlottes-villain of four front
teeth, a la fisticuffs. The Generals
sustained no casualties.

The defense of the goal posts is
already known. How our modern
Horatius, with a few trusty com-
panions drove back the fiendish Vir-
giiiians when they tried to uproot
the goal posts will live in the folk
lore attached to the 1927 Washing-
ton and Lee-Virginia game for many

Intra-mural Play

Is Well Under Way

Intro-mural basketball which is
held in the gym every Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday has pro-
gressed very rapidly in the last two
or three weeks. Many new men
have come out including Varsity men
and many of last year’s freshman
squad. Team 1 is leading the league
to date, having lost no games.
Lowry, letter man on last year’s
Varsity, and Bowen from the Fresh
of ’26 are included in this winning
combination. Team 4 captained by
Chan Gordon is second having won
five and lost four.

The league lasts only until Christ-
mas. Every one interested in
basketball is urged to come out.
Sophomores or freshmen who come
out for these teams will be excused
from regular gym classes until the
Christmas holidays.

THREE STUDENTS
NOW IN HOSPITAL

Three students are now in the
hospital, suffering from severe cases
of grippe. H. L. Williams, president
of the sophomore class, has been
confined for five days with an in-
fected gland caused by grippe. W.
C. Wagner has been in the hospital
a week because of colds and influ-
enza. The illness of E. T. Clark
is also due to grippe, but his case
is not as severe as the other two.
It is indefinite when the men will
be released.

effectively, and, with the ball on the
1-foot line, White hurdled over cen-
ter for the necessary distance and
the Generals’ lone touchdown. Lott
dropkicked the goal.

The Cavaliers then resorted to
the forward passing attack to net
them their second touchdown at the
start of the last quarter, when
Hushion speared Sloan’s pass and
ran 20 yards, the remaining distance
The Generals came back determined-

.ly and opened up their aerial attack,

taking the ball to the Virginia 23-
yard line. Then came the play that
thwarted the last hope of the Gen-
erals, for Sloan intercepted a pass
from Howe on his own 8-yard line
and a minute later the game was
over.

White, Howe, Stearns and Lott
played fine games, and the latter in
particular. Tommy broke up many
a Virginia pass and on the offense
took his man out of the play ef-
fectively every time.

Outside of the first part of the
first quarter when the Virginia lines-
men outcharged them to hurry
Spotts’ punts, the Blue and White

Captain Tips’, Spotts’, and Fitz-
patrick’s work was especially note-
worthy. Both on the defense and
the ofiense these men bore through
their opponents. Spotts came
through in his consistent way in
completing the forward passing com-
bination of Lott to Spotts. Groop,
Fisher, Dorsey and Latham all play-
ed determined games and Seligman,
replacing Tips, easily held his own
with the opposition.

For the Cavaliers, Hushion and
Sloan were the two outstanding per-
formers. Hushion showed keen judg-
ment when his team was in posses-
sion of the ball, and his head work
was the telling factor that guided
his mates to victory. On every de-
ciding and crucial play this lad as-
sumed full responsibility and came
through each time. With but two
minutes to play in the second quar-
ter and the ball deep in his own
territory, he called a play that took
a minute and five seconds to execute

SATURDAY’S CONDUCT

HE members of the student body are to be congratulated on
their conduct at the Monogram Club dance Saturday night. Those’
students who were in school two yoars ago when the Cavaliers.
invaded Lexington, only to be turned back more successfuly than‘
they were last week, well remember the hilarious aifaii‘ held in?
Doremus gymnasium that night, and the contrast between that‘.
night and the recent dance is only too evident. I

J
The attitude prevading the student body Saturday seemed otl
be one in which every man realized his responsibility to the!
student body and dance leaders in their attempt to prove to the;
faculty that Washington and Lee men are able to control andf
maintain order at their dances, and the resulting o‘derly con-,
duct made the dance truely delightful for the many girls, guests, 
and students present. The close scrutiny at the door which those‘
in charge made of every stranger applying for entrance, and the
close conformity to the rules requiring vouchiiig by students‘
for every visitor made micoiiduct and the adm ion of undesir-_’
able persons practically impossible, aiid tho.-ze in charge of the
dance are to be congratulated on their haiidliiig of the entire at-
fair.

JUSTICE AND UV1LLIFICA",l‘ION

Recent occurrences of a domestic iiature at ‘L III. I. li2'.\*:;- oc-
casioned comment and publicity throughout not only tlic State of
Virginia, but the entire union. In the ne=.r.~:pape;=:s, V; »  corps,
have been bitterly maligned, gi'ossl.y coiideii‘iiic-,l, ;i.inl uii‘.‘aii'ly

biased, and incomplete.

In View of these facts, it is with sincere appi'eci:itioii that we
have noticed a few just and iinpai-tial, coziimeiiiis. The RING-
TUM PHI of Washington and Lee University we tl1au..; SlllC€’=‘Cl]y'

criticism, and merely stated that our iiitcriial <listui‘baiice oc-
casioned a feeling of regret on their part due to 2; feeling of
kinship and they expressed the hope that a just ui‘i:lei'stai1ding
would soon be reached. The VIRGINIA ’l"ECll of  "'8. I. also at-
tempted no criticism and the expressions of 1p
corps served only to strengthen the bands '~/~.7l'lic'
exist between these two institutions. The ROANO
acknowledged that they kiiow nothing of the LllCLliL. iaiives, bu’
realized that there were two sides to every ql,iCf$il()ll LO made no
criticism. The LEXINGTON GAZET. E vas at:--o ;:i1c.>st <';’;iir in

It is a well-known fact, especi-
ally among the freshmen of this
school, that the various denomi-
nations in Lexington give vari-
ous social entertainments from
time to time.

One of Washington and Lee’s
real “Fireflies”, who, incidental-
ly, was overlooked in the scan-
dal sheet recently, has attended
every one of these social func-
tions in a condition that may at
best be called “fireflying.”

Not only was this bespectacled
individual in such a condition
that even Mussolini would have
appeared a friend, but also one
of Lexington’s belles denied this
student the privilege of calling
upon her in the future.

If the big blond brute has
tears—prepare to see them shed
—for life without his fair be-
loved will mean only a sad, wist-
ful, montonous existence.

Practise Personal Magnetism.

The third road to American
leadership is the ability to enlist,
inspire, and lead other people.
The first step of a young man
toward such leadership is to cul-
tivate the faculty and habit of
recognizing, appreciating, and
being interested in other people.

Sincerity, honesty, reliability,
consistency, and steam-engine
forcefulness are all essential to
genuine high-grade leadership,
but as a working-factor toward
the same end, which can be ac-
quired best when young, I would
place the ability to remember
and recognize all your friends
and acquaintances, however num-
erous and casual. Learn it,
acquire it, and practise it NOW

The student body assembly and
the journalism banquet at the Robert
E. Lee hotel provided “two very
superior and responsive audiences,”
J. Fred Essary, Washington corres-
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, who
addressed the two gatherings, wrote
President Henry Louis Smith re-;
cently. Stating that he has “neVer’
faced so keenly intelligent a body of
young fellow Americans and never
felt so inadequate”. Mr. Essary was
loud-spoken in his praises of the
reception accorded him here.

Mr. Essary was accompanied to
Lexington by his wife and Miss Tay-
lor, of England. He characterized
his visit as one of the really delight-
ful experiences of his life. Miss
Taylor, he stated, secured a glimpse
of America while here which entire-
ly too few English visitors ever get.

play. White went through the cen-
ter of the line for 6 yards and a
first down. Luke threw Howe for
a three yard loss and then Syming-
ton broke through to throw Lott
for a 4 yard set-back. Spotts then
punted against the wind to his own
41 yard line where Hushion signalled
for a fair catch. Hutter made two
yards ofi right tackle and Kaminer
hit the center of the Generals line
for a 1 yard gain. A long pass
from Sloan to Hushion was incom-
pleted. Sloan then kicked to Lott
who was downed on his own 14 yard
line. White hit the line for two
yards and then Lott punted, the ball
going out on his own 30 yard line.
_Stearns then broke up another pass
from Sloan to "Hushion. Sloan was

3 yards through center. Kaminer
gained 2 through left tackle. Hush-
ion was held to a yard around end

which was undoubtedly a strategic
move. His receiving of forward
passes thrown by Sloan was un-‘[
canny. On one play, lying on the:
ground, he reached up and nabbed
a pass, juggled it for a couple of
seconds and held it for a good gain.‘
Two plays later he received a 22-.
yard pass from Sloan and raced the
remaining 20 yards for the deciding
touchdown. In the line, Captainj
Cardwell and Luke played steady
games.

Statistics show that Coach Her-
ron’s men gained a total of 346
yards while the Cavalier’s gained but
182. The Generals made 14 first
downs to 5 for the visitors. Six-
teen forward passes were attempted
by the Blue and White and 6 of
them were completed. Virginia at-
tempted 9 passes, completed 4 and
intercepted one. The total yardage
gained through passes was 70 for
the Generals and 61 for the Cava-
liers. Lott gained 103 yards, White
and Howe 56 yards from the
These figures
show well that the Virginia offense
was far inferior to the Generals’.

COLLEGE GIRLS DRESS
FOR THIRTY CENTS?

Just to prove that a college girl
can dress on 30 cents if she wants
to, a group of young women at
Syracuse Univesity did it. Costumes
at a dance given on the hill cost each
wearer no more than two bits an a
nickel, and each girl was fully dress-
ed.

Gym Suffers Slight

Damage From Fire

Only slight damage resulted to
Doremus Memorial gymnasium Sun-
day morning when a fire burned
part way through the floor just in-
side the entrance to the building. A
hole less than three feet wide was
burned in the floor, and the door-
mat was damaged but aside from this
no actual damage was done to the
gym. The dance decorations in the
room beneath suffered considerably
from water however.

The fire originated behind the
radiator just inside the door, and no

one is sure what started the trouble]
The men sleeping in the gym first

had their attention attracted to the
danger shortly after day-break Sun-
day, when they smelled smoke, and
hurriedly secured the fire hose and
soon had it out, although the local
fire department was called to insure
its safe extinguishment.

The main portion of the gym was
not touched, the blaze being only
in the entrance hall less than a yard
inside the door.

Alarm Clock Causes
Death of Student

Don’t throw your alarm clocks
away after reading this article you
might do the world some good by
following the course that the stud-
ent at the University of Mississippi
so unforunately pursued.

Frightened by the sound of an
alarm clock, E. L. Motherhead, a
freshman at the University of Mis-
sissippi, fell from the top of a triple
deck bed and died soon after from
the injuries received therefrom.

Second Quarter

On the first play White went
through center for a 3 yard gain
and first down. Virginia was pen-
alized 5 yards for offside and the
Generals had the ball on the 4 yard
mark. White and Howe were both
stopped in their tracks by the
Orange and Blue line which was
fighting with it’s back to the wall.
Howe then took it again and reach-
ed the 2 yard line. White failed by
inches to get the touchdown and it
was the Cavalier’s ball on the goal
line. Sloan got off a long kick to
the 45 yard line and Lott carried
it back to the 35 marker before be-'
ing stopped. Lott made 6 yards
around left end and White made it
first down through the line. White
was forced out of bounds after a
yard gain and then Howe picked up
3 yards on a pretty double pass.
A lateral pass was fumbled result-
ing in a 6 yard loss. Lott’s long
heave to Howe was just inches to
far for Bobby to reach and it was
Virginia’s ball on their own 28 yard
line. The Cavaliers were stopped in
their tracks by the fast charging
General line and Sloan finally punt-
ed to Lott who was downed on his
own 36 yard line. Lott made a first
down on a lateral pass on the first
play. Two criss-cross plays failed
to gain however. Washington and
Lee was penalized 15 yards on the
next play and were forced to punt.
Spotts kicked to Hushion who sig-
nalled for a fair catch on his own
39 yard line. Three tries through‘
tackle failed to gain more than 5'
yards so Sloan punted to Lott on
the Blue and White 27 yard line.
Lott ran it back 10 yards. On an-
other double pass Howe gained 8

yards. Lott gained 1 but White was
stopped so that Spotts punted onl

Hushion who caught the ball for ‘
a 17 yard gain while lying on his‘
back. Two line plays were stopped‘,
by Fitzpatrick and Groop and th-;-iii
the Charlottesville team took to the}
air again to gain 12 yards and the}
ball was on the Generals’ 35 yard,
line. A pass was grounded and twol
line plays netted but 5 yards. Onl
the fourth down Sloan heaved an-l
other which looked as though it’
would end up in another score but:
Stearns rushed over to break it up.l
It was W. & L.’s ball on their own:
20 yard line. Howe and Lott failed‘
to gain. Spotts punted to Sloan
who signalled for a fair catch.;
Smoeone failed to see his signal and
tackled and the Generals were pen-
alized 15 yards. Sloan made 6 yards
on a lateral and on the next play
Sloan passed one to Hushion who
ran across the goal line for the
touchdown that won the game. The
pass was 12 yards and Hushion ran
the remaining 10 in a clear field.
Capt. Cardwell’s placement for the
extra point was wide.

Cardwell kicked off to White whoi,
ran it out to the 40 yard line, but;
the Generals were penalized 15 yards‘
so that the ball was on the 25 yard‘;
line. A pass from Lott to Howe}
netted 6 yards. Another ,this time;
to White put the ball on the 46}
yard mark. Lott gained 2 on a criss— 1
cross. Two passes were broken up:
and Spotts punted to the Cavaliers
32 yard line. Pinkerton hit the line,
three times but gained only 3 yards.‘
Sloan punted to Lott on his 25 yard‘
line. Lott ran it back 12 yards. A3
pass was grounded. On the next‘
play, a triple lateral pass, Howe ran‘
18 yards before being downed. White
hit the line for 4 yards. Another‘
pass failed. Then Lott shot one toi
Spotts for a 15 yard gain. Still
another, this time to Stearns, and
the ball was on the Cavalier 
yard line. Two more passes were?
broken up and on a third attempti
Sloan intercepted one on his own 
yard line. Three tries at the line;
netted no gain for the Orange and
Blue and as Sloan went back to punt
the game was over.

'1 .<‘atisi'-actory division of opinion.”
To bring an end to a smug attitude
and an unsatisfactory situation, the

.stu<lent paper suggests that “either

llarvard men through a tolerant and 2
intelligent contract with men of other I
institutions, must come to the con-‘
viction that all good things are not‘

centered in Cambridge, or they must

sooner or later school themselves tog

an opon—minded acceptance of man-w

.ncrs and methods strange, perhaps,:

but measured by a difl”erent stand-
ard quite as good.”—N. S. S.
