WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, SATURDAY,_lNOV.l12l,l1927 Big Blue Team M, ___ NO. 16 VVashingtonAnd Lee And English Debaters Will Argue Coeducation Open Forum Style Of Debating With Audience Participating Will Be Used—Entertainment for Debaters Will Follow Contest LOCAL TEAM IS COACHED BY BAUER Local Football Team Will Act As Ushers and Good Crowd Is Expected To Hear Wordly Tilt “Resolved: that coeducation is a failure” will be the subject debated in Lee Chapel on November 19 by the Washington and Lee team and three representatives of England. Members of the football team will act as ushers. Each team will be allowed 45 minutes to present its side of the question, and will be given no re- buttal. Following the example of a number of the leading American and English universities, the decision in the debate will be made by a vote of the audience. After the debate, an open forum will be held. The audience will be given an opportunity to participate, and to ask any desired questions concerning the subject. Plans are being made for the en- tertainment of the English visitors, anda banquet will be given, prob- ably at the Dutch Inn, for the de- baters, ushers, and chairman. Professor Bauer who has charge of the debate, wrote to several lead- ing men for their opinion on the subject of coeducation. Among the replies received were those of H. L. Mencken, Editor of The American Mercury, and Alexander Meikeljohn. famous educator, who is now con- ducting an experimental college at the University of Wisconsin. The members of the debating squad have also interviewed a number of the prominent residents of Lexington, and are well prepared to meet the Englishmen. ___..o_ New University Bulletin Appears “The man who graduates with high scholatic honors, instead of being unfitted for success by his extra ‘book-learning’, is about seven times as likely to become a dis- tinguished man as the ‘all-round’ men who received diplomas with him.” This is the declaration made by President Henry Louis Smith in one of his informal talks to 10,000 boys through the medium of his bi- monthly bulletins. The title of the bulletin written by Doctor Smith, and issued Novem- ber 1, is “Lying Sign-Boards on Life’s Highway.” In it the fore- roborated by existing data. From this leaflet the reader learns the common mistake made by the youth of today in adhering to dan- gerous maxims or proverbs, which, often do not contain an element of, truth. “All’s fair in love and war”, and “Every man has his price” are I typical examples. Doctor Smith goes on to point out the fallacy in the widely accepted theory that the real “nose-in-the- book” student never makes good in after life. Statistics are quoted to prove this point. Out of 979 col- lege graduates, 348 were differentiat- ed from the rest solely by their very high grades. Seventy-nine of these were still too young to have achieved distinction when the statis- tics were gathered. Excluding these, one half the remainder were already on the “Who’s Who” list in 1911. Lawyers Forfeit To F rosh Gridders No football were played during the past week. intra-mural games The Lawyers were scheduled to bat- tle it out with the Frosh reserves last Monday but due to injuries of several star performers they were forced to forfeit to the freshies.

No other Conference team is near either of these teams as far as scoring power is concerned. Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, according to the statistics, rank just behind the Bull- dogs in keeping rivals from cross- ing their goal line. Washington and Lee’s Generals are tenth in scoring ability but rank higher on the de- fensive, being sixth in line.

The alumni greatly ad- mired and appreciated the new quar- ters. Mr. Verbon Kemp, alumni sec- retary, was the host. Informal lunch was furnished Saturday from 1 to 2:30 o’clock to all comers. The number served was put as high as 300. Saturday was the greatest alumni day for Washington and Lee men ever known in Lexington. Game With V. P. 1. Marks Last Virginia Appearance Of Six Fighting Generals Today’s encounter with V. P. I. marks the final appearance of five of Washington and Lee’s most cap- able and dependable gridiron on Vir- ginia soil. For two years, Stearns, Latham, Spotts, Howe and Fisher have faced the Gobblers and cavorted on Old Dominion gridirons, gaining out- standing recognition for themselves throughout the state, but today they will bring their brilliant careers to a close against their respected rivals. A host of friends will follow them, hoping that their last game will be as colorful as their previous perform- ances. It is most unfortunate that Cap- tain Tips will be unable to play because of injuries. His presence will be sorely missed, and many followers will bewail the fact that he cannot participate in his final contest with V. P. I. Much season. With but one battle—and that with Florida—remaining after to- rlay’s game, Coach Herron hopes to present his full fighting strength in a team of eleven men in fine shape against the Gators. The Generals ville this Turkey Day and win the final game that has been snatched from them by breaks during the past three years. Alumni Gives Rowing Trophy As a perpetual rowing trophy, Colonel Braxton D. Gibson of Charles Town, West Virginia, has given a silver cup to symbolize the victory of each winning crew in the annual boat races at Commencement. This gift was prompted by Colonel Gibson's interest in the sport of rowing. A sentimental reason is at- tached to the date of the gift, for it was in 1877, 50 years ago, that Colonel Gibson joined the boat club at the University of Virginia, and began his career of rowing. He was a member of the victorious Virginia crews of 1878, ’79, and ’80, in which last year he was stroke in the big race at Fredericksburg, Va. In 1881 he stroked the four-oared shell crew of the L’Hirondelle Boat club in regatta races at Baltimore and in the regatta at Richmond on the James. Colonel Gibson, a lawyer and popular citizen of Charles Town, is now past 70, but he has not lost his enthusiasm and love for college sports. The cup is of sterling silver, 15 inches high, six ‘and a half inches in diameter, and stands on a four inch abony case. It is of beautiful design, with a four-oared crew in action etched on one side, and suit- able engraving on the other. Colonel Gibson motored to Lexing- ton, and with Secretary Verbon E. Kemp, presented the cup to Profes- sor Forest Fletcher and Graduate Manager R. A. Smith, who received it on behalf of the Washington and Lee Athletic association. The as- sociation hopes that Colonel Gibson will be on hand to present the trophy in person to the winners of the 1928 race next Commencement. Calyx Starts Sub Campaign Monday, November 1-1, the Calyx will start a final drive to secure the 600 subscriptions that are needed to print the book. The tryouts for the staff have been organized into two teams and they will canvas the cam- pus until Thanksgiving. It is im- portant that The Calyx secure these 600 subscriptions as soon as possible as the covers have to be ordered and it must be known in advance how many can be sold as the bud- get under the supervision of the Publication Board will allowonly a very few copies above the number actually subscribed for to be order- ed. The cover order must go in the first of next month. The Calyx this year has been carefully planned and several new features have been added to in- crease the beauty and attractiveness of the book. The cover design has been worked up and presents the most attractive view of the campus in colors. Four color process en- gravures will be used for the divi- sion pages, something that has never before appeared in a Calyx. Changes have been made in the athletic sec- tion to lend more attractiveness there. The beauty section will con- sist of twelve of the prettiest girls that can be selected from the pul- critudinous prom-trotters of Wash- ington and Lee. The book will be thicker than last year’s and ivory white paper will be used. The men who are convassing for subscriptions are the tryouts for the December 20 Date For Christmas Mink The of the Mink will be out around December 20, according to W. M. Garrison, editor. Christmas and the holidays are to be the theme of the issue, the cover bearing a fitting Christ- mas scene. Christmas number The magazine will prob- ably be decorated in red and green, and the type may also be of one of these two colors. The deadline for art and literary contributors are urged to submit their work promptly. -0 Twombley Mermen Show Swim Speed Coach “Cy” Twombly ran his‘ swimming proteges through a stiff practice session in the form of a regular meet last Friday afternoon. staff and at the end of the cam- paign the five having the most points will be chosen as assistants on the staff. The points are given! according to the amount of money turned in by each man. Manager Powers has announced that post- dated checks to the tenth of Janu- ary will be received in order to give every man an opportunity to subscribe, on account of the near approach of the gift season. Ross Gorman’s Music On Friday Night November 25 Will Open First Formals When Ross Gorman and his orches- tra strike the first chords of music in Doremus gymnasium on the night of November 25, the Sophomore Cotillion, first formal dance of the year will be begun in glorious style. Ross Gorman’s first appearance here last Easter attracted favorable comment and marked him as a master musician capable of supply- ing melodious rhythm and intriguing music at the Thanksgiving dances. With Thanksgiving less than two weeks away, preparations for the dances are being steadily pushed forward. The Sophomore class will entertain the Student Body on Fri- day night at the Sophomore Cotil- lion. Various committees have al- ready begun work to make this dance a colorful event. The Finance committee is especially working hard to secure the customary six dollars from every Sophomore to put the dance across in the most brilliant and pleasing style. Juniors and Seniors will be admit- ted free to this dance and fresh- men will have to pay three dollars admission. Plans for decorating the gym have been completed and work on arrang- ing the gym artistically and attrac- tively is progressing with good order and success. Saturday morning at 11 o’clock there will be an informal dansant at which Ross Gorman will play. This affair is sponsored by the Cotil- lion club and admission will be a dollar and a half. In the afternoon, the Troubadour show at the New Theatre and fra- terntiy dances will attract the ma- jority of students and girls. Saturday night the two days of pleasure will be brought to a joyful climax at the Cotillion club dance. Girls from nearby institutions who were unable to leave school on Fri- day will be at the dance Saturday night. This influx of feminine beau- ty wil ladd charming grace and loveliness to an already brilliant scene. Both evening dances will start at 9:30 o’clock and on Friday night the terpischorean art will continue until after one o’clock. On Saturday night dancing will stop a few minutes before midnight. With a large crowd of visitors and girls expected, and with various forms of attractive entertainment offered throughout the holidays, pleasure and joy'is assured for all. Freshmen must wear green ties but they will be allowed to remain the entire time at all dances. Fresh- men rules will also be removed dur- ing the holidays. Troubadour Show Shaping Up Fine “Tommy” Thames, president of the Troubadors, announced that the Thanksgiving show is now near- ing completion.

An attempt is now being made to gain a contract for a performance in Staunton. After the game, one bus load of players will remain in Blacksburg for the dance, while the others will return to Lexington. Although no regular practices will be conducted until after Thanksgiv- ing, there have been many prospec- tive mermen out every day getting ready for the try-outs. Coach Twombly has been giving his time to these men, and with the interest and ernestness manifested so far on the part of the men, there is little doubt that championship outfits will be turned out in both the varsity and fresh divisions.

Two British debate teams, one rep- resenting Cambridge University, and the other the National Union of Stu- dents, are now well into their sche- dules of contests with numerous American university teams. The teams evidently have been chosen carefully, and with an eye to the representation of all political faiths. On both Cambridge and Fang- Third, Time: First, Third, Gen-erails Lock Horns With V.

Gobblers ln Blacksburg Today (‘Blue and White Has Two Regulars On Injured List An Hope Held That They Will Get In Game—Techmen Will Have Trouble Stopping General Backs GOBBLERS ALL IN PERFECT CONDITION Game Will Be Homecoming Day At Blacksburg and Good Crowd Expected To Witness Annual Battle of Rivals The Washington and Lee football team, 24 strong, two managers, two coaches, and the trainer left last night for Roanoke where they re- mained in seclusion before meeting the V. P. I. Gobblers in Blacksburg today. The game is the first to be played under the new home-and- home agreement adopted last year. The Techmen are out to erase what the Generals handed them last season. The boys from Blacksburg were unable to stop the mighty Ty Rauber whose terriffic plunging and long punts kept them continually on the defense. Today they have one of the most versatile sets of backs that ever sported the blue jerseys of Washington and Lee to halt and their success in doing this will determine the score. The Generals are undoubtedly in their weakest condition of the year with Captain Tips and Lott on the sidelines due to injuries received in the Virginia encounter. Tips has not been in uniform at any of the practice sessions held this week in order to give his lame ankle an op- portunity to strengthen. However, he made the trip with the team and there is a chance that he will see service in the battle this afternoon. Streit and Seigleman have both worked in Tips’ position in the prac- tice sessions this week and it is a. toss up which will start against the Gobblers. Both will break into the game before it is over. Lott has been reporting for prac- tice throughout the week but his (Continued On Page Four) _____o__:_ Alumni Magazine Makes Appearance The Alumni Magazine, edited by Verbon Kemp, Alumni Secretary, has just been released. It is larger and fuller than any of the previous magazines, having a large amount of articles, letters, photographs, and notes on alumni. The cover is brown, with a fine reproduction of the Memorial Gateway. Among the many articles in the magazine there are a number which are of much interest. Besides a page describing the building of the new bridge, there are also some architect’s drawings which picture the bridge as finished. Letters from the alumni contained the following three, which are es- pecially interesting. Judge W. A. Tayloe, ’76, sent a picture of him- self as a young man of twenty-one, attending school at Washington and Lee, and another, taken a short time ago, on the occasion of his seventy- fifth birthday. His letter also made mention of several interesting re- miniscenses. Two other letters, one from Albert Steves, ’77, and F. M. Cockrell, ’76, likewise contained re- miniscenses of former days.

Only nine bouts were run off due tothe mid-semester exams breaking in on the time of many of the can- didates for the teams, but each one of these were close, and a fair knowledge of the noble art was dis- played by every participant. The feature match of the day was the Tully-Marshall (145 lb.) encounter. “Terrible” Tully managed to gain the decision over Marshall only after two minutes and 35 seconds of gruelling matwork. Varsity Grapplers Come Back With A Vengeance And Trim Fresh 24 To 8 According to Coach Mathis these matches will continue weekly in order to get both the freshmen and varsity grapplers in as good condi- tion as possible.

HOMAGE OF THOUSANDS NE thousand and forty eight persons visited the Lee Memorial Chapel on the campus here, November 5. This is the larg- est number that has ever been recorded there for one day’s attendance. The great number is significant in many ways. It shows an increased appecciation of Lee’s greatness and it shows a tend- ency toward total abolition of all sectional disagreement, as the majority of the visitors are from the north. For the month of October a total of 3429 visitors are recorded, a gain of 834 over the number for the same month the preceding year. The total for the single day of November 5 is almost one third that of the entire month of October. Mainly, however, it is remarkable in that one tenth of the crowd which attended the Washington and Lee—Virginia foot- ball game, found time in all the hilarity, the bustle and excite- ment to pause a moment to pay homage to a great chieftain, by visiting his tomb. BOOK SHOPS AND UNIVERSITIES “I believe that the reading of good books induces the buying of books, and that the owning of books is part of one’s general education.” On that theory Howard Mumford Jones established the Bull’s Head Bookshop on the University of North Carolina campus. And, the New Student tells us, Howard Mumford Jones is professor of English, and a good one. But that is incidental. He is above all a person of ideas, and his ideas have had not a ualsmall part in making the Chapel Hill university a center of real learning in the south; and the university the intellectual center of the state. The Bull’s Head Bookshop, in name has a glorious sound, like the Mermaid Tavern, for instance. Actually, its spirit is more nearly akin to the famous tavern than to a bookshop. For How- ard Mumford Jones is not trying to grow rich‘ by selling books. He wants to see ideas grow and gain nourishment in his shop. Room 214, Murphy Hall, that’s the bookshop. It is a profes- sor’s office, and out of the line of student traffic. It was not decorated, upon opening, with costly curtains or “other doodabs and addenda” to “take the course of the academic off it,” as, Mr. Jone s says. Some day it will have all that. But it is coming‘; slowly, for the bookshop is not a money-making enterprise. Itf is a book center where students, aided by Volunteer librariansl come to brouse or to buy, as they choose. That is all Mr. Jones asks. He wishes to interest the students in books, and if they buy and there are profits, well enough. That means more books can be purchased, and 214 Murphy can be decorated somewhat. So far, much to the surprise of well-meaning persons who warn- ed against the venture, the sales have been steady and fairly heavy. So it is said there are now curtains on the windows. Perhaps there are some easy chairs, too. Mr. Jones needed courage for his plan, because the southernl public is not very much interested in books. North Carolina is a bit more learned than its sister states, yet even in Chapel Hill the one store that dealt in general books had to give up for lack of customers. The sale on cheap magazines, however, was heavy, very heavy. Howard Mumford Jones decided that book reading must be promoted. So the Bull’s Head Bookshop was opened to meet the demand for other than text books, and to stimulate a de- mand where none existed before. On a non-profit basis for any-I one cerned, and backed by the University book exchange as a worthy educational enterprise, the Bookshop was ready to lose money. But it didn’t and it thrives.

Perhaps “Captain Dick” has come in for too much of this fun poking, but he, we are sure, has realized that it was done in the spirit with which the students have always been accustomed to describe the most esteemed campus mentors. No one critizes “Captain Dick” for his farsightedness in securing a much needed bridge for the campus. VVe entirely agree with “A. B. C.” and “X. Y. Z.” in saying that if it were not for “Captain Dick” that Washington and Lee athletics could not be in the fine position in which they are now.

Lee Hotel and it was decided to form the Lexington, Va., Music League, as a branch of the National Music League, and the following officers were elected: President L. D. Coan: Secretary and Treasurer, Dr. W. D. Hoyt, Committee on ticket subscrip- tions, Mrs. C. N. Feamster, chair- men, Mrs. Willis Robertson and Mrs. Henry Louis Smith. The Department of the Woman's Club is promoting a ser- ies of three subscription concerts to be provided by the National Music League. These concerts will be given during the coming winter and the only monetary profit to accrue to the Woman’s Club, will be ten per cent of the total receipts which will be applied to worthy local charities for which the Woman’s Club is standing sponsor. Music The prime object of this move- ment is to put Lexington and the vicinity in line with the country- wide activity for educating the peo-I ple to appreciate good music. The radio has brought worth while music into the homes of millions of Amer- icans who never realized what it might mean to them, and Within very recent years, the smaller cities and towns have begun to attempt a higher type of musical concert than had ever been attempted out- side the metropolitan centers. The concerts to be given in Lex- ington, if the response of the citi- zens is favorable will be of a very high class-not many artists, of course, coming, but these of the best. If 300 subscriptions of $3.00 each are secured, a charge of only $1.00 per concert, the series will be as- sured. The holders of subscription tickets to the Lexington concert series, have the privileges of the National Music League, which includes reduced rates to New York concerts and also to the Metropolitan Grand Opera. The privileges accorded by the Metro- politan Grand Opera House, were secured through the courtesy of Mrs. Kahn, president of the Na- tional Music League, who is the wife of Mr. Otto Kahn, Director of the Metropolitan Opera. They will also receive the National Music League Bulletin. Tickets can be had from any of the committee or at the Robert E. Lee Hotel.

This strange scene was too much for our inquiring reporter who ventured up to one of the participants of the unusual game. “Just what is the idea?” he queried. “Nothing at all,” was his reply, “except the Pan and White Frair initiation is coming in about a month and we are con- ditioning for service on the re- ceiving end of the familiar board.” Goats of the social fraternities may find medicine balls for simi- lar use in the special exercise room. 0 l I I ; Japan, Wilfred Jones, and readiness to learn DeOples and cultures of the East- ern world.” PAGE THREE ‘V‘BETTTER BIIMMING OR NONE AT ALL, “MAYOR” 5 “Beter bumming or none at all” is l the Warning Mayor Zeb Council of I Chapel Hill has issued to the stud-3 ents of University of North Carolina,‘ Motorists, said the mayor, have . °°mDlained that students seekingl rides have cluttered the highways‘ beyond comfort and safety, and thati ’;hese collegians, when refused lifts, ave thumbed their noses at the mo-j iJ0I1‘1l3S and otherwise outrageously in-1 su ted. them.
