Debators Saturday G PWASHINGTPON AND IP13:-E UNIVERSITY, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 16, 1927 NUMBER SP7 FALL TRACKOTO BE TERMINATED BY nan Mart Practice Will Be Officially Brought To Close Next Week; Men Are In Good Condition. Fall track practice here will be oflicially brought to a close on the Wilson Field track Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday afternoons of next week, when a complete track and field meet will be held between the fifty or more varsity and fresh- man candidates. The men have been practicing for about two months, and the majority of them appear in the pink of condition for the events. This is the first year that this innovation has been tried at Wash- ington and Lee, and Coach Forest Fletcher has expressed himself as Little strenuous work has been done, of course, but the men have been able to keep their track ability up to the minute, and at the same time have had the guidance of coaching which it is hard to give individuals in the spring when most attention must be centered upon the task of choosing and conditioning a team for intercollegiate competition. Every event on a regular Southern Conference track schedule will be held, and the schedule, extending over three days, calls for the hold- ing of four or five events a day until the finish of the 880 and the final toss of the discus winds up the affair Wednesday afternoon. The daily events will start at 3:30 and should be over well before 5 o’clock if the schedule is adhered to. Competent judges and other officials will be provided by those in charge, and everything will be done to make the competition as precise- ly handled as if it were a champion- ship meet. Varsity men who have not run against strange competition since last May will stack up against last year’s freshmen, now running as their varsity mates, and this year’s yearlings will have an opportunity’ of their predecessors of five months ago. Judging from time trials which have been held recently, some good material exists in the class of ’31, and the varsity men may be in for a jolt unless they exert them- selves. Entries are still being received by Coach Fletcher, and he urges that every man, whether or not he has been out for the fall practice, enter toward track work at all. The entry lists will be announced Saturday. The tentative schedule for meet is as follows: the Monday 3:30—220-yard dash. 3:45~Mile run. 4:00—High jump. 4:20—Javelin throw. Tuesday 3:30—High hurdles. 3:45—440—yard dash. 4:00—Broad jump. 4:20—Shot put. Wednesday 3:30—100-yard dash. 3:45—Low hurdles. 3:55—880-yard dash. 4:00—Pole vault. 4:20—Discus throw. j__o_j University Rector Dies At Roanoke Lucian Howard Cocke, rector of Washington and Lee University, died Monday night at his home in Orchard Hill, Roanoke. He was born at Hollins College, March 27, 1858. Mr. Cocke graduated from Wash- ington and Lee with the degree of A. B. in 1878 and was appointed rector of the University in 1898. He was the last mayor of the city of Roanoke, and upon its incorpora- tion as a city continued in office for one term. He became general attorney for the Norfolk and Wes- tern railway soon after his appoint- ment as consulting counsel in 1904. Burial will be in the family burial ground at Hollins Wednesday. Washington and Lee will be repre- sented by Dr. Henry Louis Smith, Mr. Paul Penick, Dean H. C. Camp- bell, and Mr. Harrington Waddell. 'being built by the H. P.

Glee .Club0Gives Concert Before Seminary Girls The best glee club that Washing- ton and Lee has ever had, according to those who have heard it, per- formed in a very creditable manner at Southern Seminary Monday eve- ning. Thirty—three vocalists and 12 mem- bers of the Southern Collegians made the trip, in a bus and in private cars. The concert was held in the school auditorium. The entire club rendered six selections, and solos were offered by James M. Countiss vocally and Richard C. Ammerman on the violin. An octet from the club rendered “By the Waters of Minnetonka,” which was especially well received. After the concert five of the collegians played for a dance which continued until 11 p. m. Punch and cakes were served. . About 20 students not connected with ' the Troubadour organization made the trip and attended the dance, which contrary to the custom at Washington and Lee dances had enough girls to go around. According to officials, the presen- tation of the Southern Collegians was especially excellent, two en- cores being demanded. The work of Toot Gibson in managing the trip" in excellent fashion was also com- mended. White’s photographer will be here next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day for the purpose of taking pic- tures for the Calyx. All seniors should make appointments to have their pictures taken on either Thurs- day or Friday of this week at New- I 3 According to Professor M. G. Bauer, the debate to be held Nov. 19, between the representatives of Great Britain, and Washington and Lee, will be published. This will be the only one of the Englishmen’s 33 debates in this country to be included in the University Debate Annual, published by the H. L. Wil- son Company, which contains the most important debates held in this country each" year. Special arrange- ments have been made for the ser- vices ofa court reporter to take the debate verbatim. The debate will be held in Lee Chapel, starting at 8 o’clock. Judg- ing from the interest already being szhown, attendance is expected to be as large or larger than the debate with the Oxford team last ‘ year, which drew a capacity house. “Resolved: That coeducation is a T7ailure”, will be the subject debated. Washington and Lee will uphold the atfirmativve, while the Englishmen will advocate that the system is a success. The university will be repr.",scnted by VV. M. Maynard, H. M. Platt, and B. J. VVagner. Wag- . ner was a member of the team which debated the Oxford men last year. Maynard has had intercollegiate ex- pcrience, and Platt was active in high school debating. Dr. Henry Louis Smith, President will open the program with an ad- dress of welcome. Professor Fitz- gerald Flourney, former Rhodes scholar, will be the acting chair- man. Members of the football team will act as ushers. The Englishmen will arrive in Lexington sometime Saturday after- notn, and will be taken care of by the local fraternities. The two teams, Professor Flourney, and Pro- fessor Bauer, will have dinner at the Dutch Inn before the debate, and afterwards a smoker will be held. The visitors come to Lexington from Washington, D. C., having de- bated George Washington Univer- sity on the subject, “Resolved: The only effective attitude towards war is uncompromising pacifism.” From here, they will go to Lynchburg for an engagement with Randolph-Macon college. The English team arrived in Mon- treal, October 15, and commencing their American debates in Nova Scotia, continued on down through the New England states. Their itinerary will include schools as far south as Georgia, and from there the team will swing west to St. Louis, Mo. Then, working back through Illinois and Ohio until they reach New York, the debaters will sail for England, December 15. On this tour, 33 institutions will be debated, among which are Dart- mouth, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Vassar. _j___0____.__ THREE FOOTBALL MEN ?EXPELLED The L. S. U. football team re- ceivcd a severe blow Monday when three regulars from the Varsity team were expelled on account of hazing a group of freshmen. The student body was in a turmoil, but comb Hall. no drastic action was anticipated. Arrangements Are Made For Publishing Debates ‘ Of Englishmen In University Debating Annual Freshmen Eleven Has Successful Football Season Coach Eddie Parks Davis and his Freshman Cohorts have just com- pleted a most successful football season, scoring 79 points against a total of 27 for their opponents and winning four of the played. On October 14 the Baby Gobblers from V. P. I. attacked the Little Generals on Wilson Field in the first game of the season, and walked off with the spoils, 18-6. They have gone through the remainder of the season without defeat, and with only one touchdown being scored against them after the V. P. I. game. One week later the Little Generals invaded Staunton to do battle with the highly touted Staunton Military Academy eleven. Three touchdowns were scored against the Cadets and two tries for extra points were successful, making the final score 20-0 in favor of the W. and L. men. The next Friday the Freshmen Gridders journeyed over to Char- lottesville and took the measure of the Baby Cavaliers by the count of 20-7. The game was hard fought throughout, and victory was de- served. five games After the Virginia game Wilson Field was the scene of a grueling battle, with Greenbriar and the W. and L. Frosh in the principal roles. Running true to form, however, the local men downed their guests 18-0. Although the outcome was no upset, the score was expected to have been much closer. The Freshmen how- ever, proved too much for the Cadets in the closing period and when the final whistle blew there was no doubt that the score was a good in- dication of the merits of the two teams. On Armistice Day the Freshmen once more took to the highways, and went to Newport News to meet the far—famed Apprentice school team. It had been rumored that the Apprentices used pine trees for tackling dummies, and after the game the local lads were ready to believe the rumor. Although the Newport News boys battled nobly they were not powerful enough to withstand the smashing and varied attack of the Fresh, and succumbed 15-2. The V. P. I. Freshmen were awarded the Big Four Frosh Cham- pionship, but second place could be rightfully awarded to the local Freshmen by virtue of their victory over Virginia, and the close score in the V. P. I. game. A_()_.___ SUPPORT RED CROSS In view of the meritorious aims and achievements of the Red Cross, both world-wide and local, the Exe- cutive Committee of the Students Body wishes unamously to approve the present drive of that organiza- tion for funds and earnestly to urge the Student Body, so far as it is able to assist in making a worthy enterprise a success.

An exceptionally large crowd is expected at the Thanksgiving dances this year. Indications shows that most students will remain here dur- ing the holidays. There will be three dances in this set. Friday night the Sophomore class will give [give a prom for the upper classes -of the University. The figure will be led by Harvey Williams, with Miss Nannie V. Jackson of Rich- mond, Va. He will be assisted by J. W. Davis with Miss Louise Arthur of Bedford, Va. Saturday morning there will be a dansant given by the Cotillion Club: Satur- day night the Cotillion Club will give the concluding dance of the set, led by R. C. Latham with Miss Mary Mills Ham of Charlotte, N. C. and W. T. Owen with Miss Mar- cia Penick of South Boston. Mr. Carl Gill has far outdone him- self in the planning of the decora- tions. He is assisted in this by the leaders of the dances and freshman sent by the various fraternities. The geenral scheme of decorations is green, yellow, orange and blue. At either end of the gym there are two large turkeys, which are pretty and well done. The dome of the gym is to be decorated with streamers, and a frieze of an autumn scene, with turkeys, corn stalks and various colored leaves. All in all, the gym will be alive with an atmosphere of the fall season, with the Thanks- giving note clearly featured. Ross Gorman, who made such a hit at the Easter dances last year, will again furnish the music. He brings with him several new fea- tures, including a comedy sketch by two of his players. All this is in’ addition to Ross himself, who is the most diversified instrumentalist playing in the dance music sphere. ____0”_ Commerce Eleven Is Champion Of Intramural Loop Monday afternoon was the date chosen by the Commerce football WELL ATTENDED Indications Show That Majority Of Miles Field—Brilliant runs by Frank Peake, Phenominal halfback for the V. P. I. Gobbers, and taking advantage of breaks of the game were enough to give the Generals their second defeat in as many weeks by Virginia teams. The Generals lost 21 1:00. This was the first time since 1922 that the Gobblers had been able to even register a single mark- er against the Blue and White, and the first time that a Gustafson coached eleven has ever scored scored against a Herron eleven. For some reason the team as a whole suffered a great let down af- ter the Virginia game. The team gained 227 yards, but was allow- ing the Techsters to add 359 yards. According to this the team did not suffer such a letdown, however, all of this gaining was done in Blue and White territory and as soon as the ball moved near the Tech section of the field the Gobblers tightened up. Forward passes were scarce in the affair, but the Generals were able to complete five for a total yard- age of 73. V. P. I. completed only one and that came after a touch- downfor the extra point. Washington and Lee boasts of one of the greatest linesmen in the country, according to pressmen who saw the game, in Fitzpatrick. Fitz was down on nearly every punt waiting for the safety man to catch the ball so he could make the tack- le. He was a power of strength on the offense too with most of the yards that the Generals gained through the V. P. I. line being made over him. He was fast, aggressive and showed all round ability as a football player. Besides being down on every punt he did about half the tackling for the Blue and White. Mike Seligman played a nice game at guard on the defense. He showed up well at Captain Tips’ guard. Lott deserves a great deal of credit for his work in the game. It is true that he made several fumbles, but he played throughout the game with three fractured ribs. Gene White made the longest gain of the afternoon for the Blue and White. A bad pass to center was fumbled and he scooped up the ball and raced down the field for a 30 yard march being stopped on the 17 yard line by Peake. White car- ried the ball further into the Ma- roon territory than anyother player. Babe Spotts, despite the fact that eleven to annex the Intra-mural football championship. They defeat- ed the Academic school’s aggrega- tion by the score of 19 to 7. The final issue was never in doubt as Commerce showed their complete superiority throughout the entire game. The Academs scored their only touchdown on a recovered fum- ble, which they converted into six points and an added marker when they registered the extra point by a place kick. Substitutions were numerous for both teams, and practically the whole Commerce squad got into action be- fore the end of the game. Academic put up a gallant fight, but they were unable to penetrate the Com- merce line or stop the Commerce backs. Commerce has has gone through the season undeefated, and in addi- tion to a victory over Academ, they have also taken the scalps of the Law school’s team, and the Fresh- man eleven. ______0______ P. D. E. Initiates Thirteen New Men Thirteen men were initiated into Pi Delta Epsilon, national journal- istic fraternity, Tuesday afternoon. Two years of meritorious work on a Washington and Lee publication are required before becoming a mem- ber of P. D. E. The men initiated were: R. A. Beaton, R. P. Carter, H. P. Johns- ton, N. D. Hall, W. B. Jacobs, W. A. Plummer, L. F. Powell, Ed Ould, G. N. Lowden, A. B. Morgan, T. B. Thames, T. A. Wilkins and H. M. on every play thre men were on him, played a wonderful game. He punt- ed passed, and snagged passed with great style. The New Yorker is considered one of the most form- idable ends in the South this fall. The first score of the day came in the second period when Gray silpped through the line to block Spott’s punt, the ball going behind the W. & L. goal lien. White fell on the ball thus preventing a touchdown. Lott fumbled Peake’s punt under the “shadow” of the goalposts a moment later to allow the Gobblers to recover the ball. McArthur went over tackle for a nice gain and on the next play Peake stepped over the same place for a touchdown. All this scoring was done in the second quarter. At the half several changes were made in the line—up with the hope of strengthening the game for the Generals. But this proved of little use as the Gobblers continued their regular mauling pace. In the third quarter the line failed to hold long enough to allow Spotts to get a good kick and as a result the star wingman’s punt went for only a few yards. Peake and Tomko took tries at the Blue and White line and planted the ball near the last white marker and then Peake pushed a- cross for the second touchdown. McEver intercepted a pass and raced 60 yards through the entire W. and L. team for a touchdown He side stepped everyone in sight. Only about 4,000 saw the game, with only 150 of these being stud- ents——despite the fact that the Uin- versity had declared the day a holi- Wilson. day. , . 1 OCR::/Vol_031/WLURG39_RTP_19271116/WLURG39_RTP_19271116_002.2.txt PAGE TWO Filip ‘fling-iunn mi (ESTABLISED 1897) WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY SEMI-WEEKLY Members of Southern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association Subscription $3.10 per year, in advance OFFICE AT DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM Telephones: Editor-in-chief, 430; Business Manager 483 Entered at the Lexington, Va., Postofiice as second class mail matter Editor-in-Chief .

LUCIAN HOWAR COCKE Undergraduates, alumni, faculty members, admin- trative heads, and all friends of Washington and Lee join in voicing their grief at tha death of Lucian How- ard Cocke, Rector of the Univeristy since 1838. A nob- le spirit, a leader in many phases of human endeavor, both secular and ecclesiastical, and one ever on the re- versed figures to all with whom he came in contact His passing will leave a big gap in the councils of many organizations, where his presence had long been looked on as essential to the success of all undertakings, and where his advice was desired before any action was taken. Washington nd Lee is not the least of those to suffer by his passing, and the University keenly real- izes the loss which it has sustained in the death of its rector. * ~|!~;=’e-.’-”-‘-ct"._1_::~:j-<._~’»;‘*4 INTERNATIONAL DEBATES ASHINGTON and Lee will again have the opportunity-—in- deed, the pleasure—of hearing the second debate in as man yyears gbtween its own representatvies and all—sar teams from leading English universities Saturday night, when the trio representing the Students’ Union will match wits with Wash- ington and Lee’s best in Lee Memorial chapel. Students who packed the chapel last year to hear the British- ers debate remember with pleasure the style, presentation, and witticisms which featured their appearance, nd no further in- ducement than the mere announcement of a debate with an English team is necessary to get practically every student back this year to hear another team from the same country. The charm of their logic, as contrasted to the cold-blooded, calculating, and methodical arguments of the typical American debator, was especially attactive, and the audinece, composed of students, faculty and administration members, and towns- people, listened attentively as the visitors threw points out smart- ingly and yet withal in such good humor that the usual idea of “debate” could scarely be associated with their appearance on the platform. Preparations are being made to handle another capacity crowd Saturday night, and with the engrossing topic which has been annnounced, and the memory of last year’s pleasant contest still vivid, an attendance which will tax the chapel seats is ex- pected. Those in charge of debating here have not secured the visit of the distinguished debators free of expense, however, and those attending will be given the opportunity to show their appreciation of the debate by dropping some contribution to- ward defraying expenses in a box which will be placed near the entrance of the chapel for this purpose. Admission will be entire- ly free, not even the system of ticket distribution being used which was tried last year, but those taking advantage of the opportunity to hear the visitors and to enjoy the arguments should feel it a privilege to be able to aid in making possible their appearance here. A u COMPLICATED FOOTBALL LAWS UT of the Bruce Caldwell incident may come action looking to a revision of the existing rules on the subject of athletic eligi- bility. Walter Trumbull, sports editor of the New York Evening Post, hit the nail on the head when, in commenting on Yale’s decision to bar Caldwell from the line-up against Princeton, he declared that football now reasts upon a body of laws “as com- plicated as the Treaty of Versailles.” William Bingham, athletic director at Harvard, in the course of a sportsmanlike plea for Caldwell’s reinstatement, suggested that the time has come for a revision of the eligibilty rules. The New York Evening Post takes the view that the Caldwell’s case proves that sportsmanship is still able to raise its head in generosity and pride. It proves something else, to—wit, that there is need for the injection of a bit of common sense to counteract some of the sheer legalism which places a technicality above the intent and purpose of the rule. It is about time that the rule‘ makers made provision for dealing with exceptional cases, so that an institution cn keep its amateur status without doing injustice to an individual. In the words of The Post: “It is hard for a conscientious athletic committee to be generous to its own eleven. The situation should be met by a clause permitting a joint conference of the athletic directors of the universities concerned parting information, while the tutor integrates this diverse ma- letter rather than the spirit of the law is being transgressed.” Such a clause would have taken care of the Caldwell case auto- matically and a player who had violated the letter but not the spirit of the law would not have been subjected to a cruel dis- appointment virtually on the eve of the big game of the year. Yale owed something to Bruce Caldwell no lss than to Princeton. The Yale athletic committee had no recourse but to decide as it. did. The rigidity of the rule, not the committee, was at fault.— Roanoke Times.

Light practice has been the pre- scription for the Washington and Lee varsity pigskin warriors during the early part of this week in order that the injured members of the squad may be in condition when the team meets the University of Flor- ida in Jacksonville on Thanksgiving Day. Captain Tips, Lott, anduEb—er- hardt are all pretty well battered up and several other members of the team are nursing slight injuries, but the open date in the schedule on Saturday will give the Generals a week and a half to get back into form. Tips was in uniform at practice yesterday for the first time since his ankle was hurt in the Virginia game. He is still limping, but the outlook at present is that he will be in the lineup at the kick-off against Florida. Lott is directing the team in spite of his injured ribs, which are expected to be completely healed by next Thursday. Eber- hardt had to be removed from the V. P. I. encounter with a twisted ankle which is still giving him some trouble. However, the injured mem- ber is responding to treatment and he will make the trip to Jackson- ville. The Generals have yet to win from the ’Gators. Several times they have been doped to come out on top and have outplayed Florida, only to be tied in the final quarter. Notwithstanding the defeats at the hands of Virginia and V. P. I., there is a “get Florida” spirit in the members of the team that is going to force the ’Gators to the limit. Florida stock took a decided jump last Saturday when the ’Gators took the Crimson Tide of Alabama into camp by a scout of 13 to 6. Never- theless, Davidson has a 12 to 0 vir- dict over the team from Gainesville and Washington and Lee’s triumph over eKntucky was just as impres- sive as that of the ’Gators. Captain Tips, Dorsey, Latham, Fisher, Howe, Spotts and Stearns of the first eleven are facing Flor- ida for the last time and their ef- forts will be redoubled to conclude their intercollegiate careers by breaking the old jinx which the ’Gators have exercised over the Generals for several years. ————o Students Leave Local Hospital Of the four students who were in the hospital on account of various minor illnesses last week, none re- mained after Sunday. W. C. Wag- ner, having recovered from an at- tack of grippe, left Sunday for his home in Hanover, Penn. for a rest. He expects to return after the Thanksgiving holidays. H. L. Will- iams, suffering froma slight gland infection, and E. T. Clark, down with a mild case of grippe were released last Friday. W. T. Owen and J. T. Alfred spent Friday in the hos- pital with severe colds, but left Saturday. Washington and Lee In the Past From the Ring—tum Phi files. November, 1926 AQUA BAN IS LIFTED IN CITY And you’ll not need to wash your car in the North River anymore! At a meeting of the city officials last Monday night, it was decided. to repeal the ordinance passed‘ earlier in the year forbidding the use of water for washing automo- biles, filling swimming pools, and other “unnecessary” objects, which may require the precious “aqua”. The action was taken following a two—day rain that started last Sun- day. November, 1924 MOCK TRIAL BIG ATTRACTION To ofier variety and diversion from the regular order of things, the Graham Lee Literary society will present a mock trial Saturday night at 7:30, in the Society hall on the fourth floor of Washington College. The trial will be developed along comic lines, evidence and non-evid- ence being offered as proof. The attorneys who will conduct the trial state that an humorous hour will undoubtedly result. November, 1922 PORTRAITS REMOVED FROM THE CHAPEL Due to the fact that this is the first year that the chapel has been heated daily, and that heat might be ruinous for the portraits, Univer- sity authorities have removed the portraits of Washington and Lafay- ette by Peale, and the original of Washington by Stuart. They have been placed in a vault for the dura- tion of winter. November, 1917 RESOLUTION UNANIMOUSLY PASSED BY STUDENTS OF WASHINGTON AND LEE Recognizing the gravity of the situation and desiring to do our bit in helping furnish with food our hard—pressed Allies, we, the students of Washington and Lee, hereby re- quest all private homes, boarding houses, and dining clubs to inaugu- rate at once a meatless and wheat- less day each week, and hereby pledge ourselves to endure cheerfully the slight inconvenience occasioned; thereby. | November, 1904 HUNTING hunting season opened up Tuesday. Those students who care for this kind of sport have been travelling over the adjoining county wtih varying degrees of success. The fruits of the chase embrace anything from a ten—year-old rabbit, to a five dollar trespass fine. :___0___ ARE YOU interested in a Frat House for next session?

There were approximately only 125 Washington and Lee men in the stands, which is a very small number compared with those who usually follow the Generals in their games with V. P. I. The stadium was reserved for W. and L. stu- dents and supporters, while the cadet corps and V. P. I. supporters occupied the stands on the opposite side of the field. Those who were there to support the Big Blue team, however, never faltered in their cheering. The band, in uniform, and numbering about thirty-five, was in the stadium be- fore the game started, and played the Swing on the first kick-off. They added much to the spirit of the small handful of students pre- The Gray Phantom Every Saturday after classes are over a figure enters a ma- chine, of the collegiate type, steps on a hesitant starter, and starts off in a burst of glory on the well-worn road to Roanoke. A lone figure! When a stu- dent goes ofi’ alone in a perfect- ly good machine he is either conceded to be sick or—in love! The well-known plot thickens! It has developed that this mys- terious rider only reaches Buch- anan, and Dame Rumor has it noised abroad that he is awaited with open arms and the irresist- ible lure of two rosy-red lips! It must he love The final proof—this same student, if a male personage -in love may be considered one, has entirely renounced his old title of “Cork”, so named because he was formerly always found at the mouth of a bottle. What wonders the fairy touch of love doth work! ____om_._ W. J. THOMAS Meat Market Quality and Service Phones 81 and 288 sent, and helped the cheering. Before the game the cadet corps of V. P. I. paraded on the field, and facing the stadium, sang “Tech Triumph”, and gave a yell for Wash- ington and Lee. The Generals band replied with the Swing, and then a yell for V. P. I. An excellent spirit prevailed throughout the en- tire game. Saturday was homecoming day for V. P. I., and a large crowd was! there for the annual game, which‘ has usually been held in Lynchburg. This was the first time the two teams had met on Miles field in Blacksburg. Next year V. P. I. will be played on Wilson field in Lexington for the first time. The game will also be homecoming day for Washington and Lee next year. The two special busses which were used to carry the band and the team returned Saturday night, and did not stay over in Blacksburg for the dance. Most of the students who went over for the game returned Saturday night, either to Roanoke or Lexington. oLoTHEs3 CENTRAL CAFE REGULAR MEALS All Kinds of SANDWICHES and SOFT DRINKS Prompt and Courteous vice at all Times A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE YOU In.

Average 7 Freshmen Weekly The work of the Freshman coun- cil has been comparatively success- ful thus far, is the opinion of Virgil! Fisher, who is at the head of thei council. He says that he has noticed some improvement in the freshmen’s conduct since the first of the year, but that there are still quite a few freshmen who do not observe the speaking rule properly. He added that the committee had on an aver- age of seven freshmen before it on charges at each meeting. Fisher wishes to thank the old men for their cooperation, as he feels that it has been good so far this year. :0 Chicago Student Wins Poetry Prize Sterling North, of the University of Chicago, is winner of the Witter Bynner poetry prize, in the annual undergraduate contest. Grace Haz- ard Conkling, Edgar Lee Masters, and Witter Bynner judged the poet- ry of students in all parts of the country. North won $100. Mariana Staver, Barnard College, and Lucia E. Jordan, Smith College, each won $25 prizes.—(N.S.S.) ._M_()___ University Fights Political Control A test case by which the Univer- sity of Minnesota hopes to free it- self from political control is being prepared now for presentation to the courts. Designated as a “friend- ly suit,” the action is calling forth much comment, not all of it friendly. The state finance commission’s right to veto univesity individual expendi- tures is being questioned. For two years the university has been har- assed by the commission, but action was not begun until a faculty insur- ance item in the institution’s budget was cancelled last spring. Now the university is insisting that it should be freed from political domination. —(N.S.S.) 0M. National Notice Focused On Georgia Of all the embattled college grid- iron legions from coast to coast and gulf to border, the University of Georgia stands out as the only major eleven neither defeated nor tied. Overwhelming all opposition thus far in the South, Georgia’s claims to national championship recognition are further illuminated by the fact that these Bulldogs of the South have been the only outfit to upset the famous Bulldogs of the East— Yale, the principal claimant now to eastern victories over the Army, tional victories over the Army, Dartmouth and Princeton. Georgia took the measure of Yale by a_slim margin, 14 to 10, in an early season contest, but nothing can be taken away from the south- erners’ credit on that account. It was as much an early season com- bat for one as it was the other. If Georgia can keep its slate clean in coming battles with Alabama and Georgia Tech there will be nothing to prevent the team from claiming most of the gridiron laurels in sight. Princeton and Tennessee stood alongside Georgia with spotless slates before Saturday’s frays but when they were over the Tiger had yielded to the spectacular finishing spurt of Yale, 14 to 6, while Tennes- see had its mark checked by a 7-7 deadlock with Vanderbilt as the Georgians easily disposed of Clem- son. There are a half dozen or more outstanding undefeated teams over the broad expanse of gridiron war- fare but at least one tie game had cropped up to spoil their otherwise brilliant records. Among those in this category now are Tennessee in the South, Pittsburgh and Washing- ton and Jefferson, in the East, as well as New York University; Southern California, on the Pacific coast; the Texas Aggies, leaders in the Southwestern conference; Illinois pace-setters among the Western conference “big ten,” and Minnesota of the same fold.—(A.P.) ____o_____ Varsity Harriers > Go To Chapel Hill I Washington and Lee’s cross coun- try team will wind up its season Saturday when it journeys to Chapel Hill to encounter the best in the South in the annual Southern Con- ference meet sponsored this year by the University of North Carolina. Coach Fletcher reports his charges to be in the best of condition and seems quite optimistic_ as to their chances in the race. He will carry his first five men who have seen action in all the previous meets of this season: Pilley, Butler, Nance, Johnson and Brock. The team will leave Friday. ‘-Ellllll|ll||IillliIIiilllIllIIIllIllIIIllIllillillllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIHillII|lllIIllllI111!IIllIllIIIIHIHHIIIllIIIillHIM{II[lllllI||||flllllilIHillIllIIIIIHIIIIllIIIIlllllliilliliiIII|I||I||||lIIll[|I|||l|IHHJI||!||I£l!lIIlINII|!H|Il|!|lIWlI|||||I Frosh Wrestlers i Meet Varsity In Practice Friday i The Varsity and freshman wrest- lers will hold a meet in the Gym Friday night, consisting of 22 bouts. Twenty of these will be between? the freshmen and varsity while the? other two will be special bouts be-i tween freshmen in the 125 pound; and 135 pound classes. 1 N0 admission will be charged Either Seligman, captain of the’ Varsity or Coach Mathis will be the judge. Godwin, manager, and Wil- son, junior manager, will be the timekeepers. This is the third match of this kind that has been held. The main object is to give the new men ex- perience and to get the old men in shape for the coming season. The bouts will be seven minutes long with no extra period in case of a draw. __.?0_.___ Davis Law Club Will Have Trial The mock trial ofa case concern- ing property will be argued by Bob Campbell and Lynn Davis of the Davis Law Club Friday at 7:30 p. m. in Tucker Hall. Some member of the law faculty or the club ad- viser will serve as chief justice while the other six members of the club will be associate justices. Visitors are invited. This is one of a series of trials that are being conducted by the 12 law clubs in order to give their members experiences in handling court cases. Property cases, crimi- nal cases, contracts, and torts are the types assigned to give the stu- dents knowledge in the four main branches of law. Of criminal cases tried trus far the Griffith murder case taken from Theodore Dreiser’s American Trag- edy has attracted the largest number of visitors. _____0____. Daffodils Beaten By Virginia, 7-0 Virginia’s Daffodil team defeated Washington and Lee’s similar ag- gregation in Charlottesville last Saturday by a 7-0 score. The lone touchdown came in the second quar- ter, when Delashman picked up a fumble and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. Marchant added a point with a well placed placement kick. The General’s Daffodils threatened in the third quarter but the Cav- alier team held on their own two- yard line. Most of the game was staged in the middle of the field with both lines showing equal strength. The game wa exciting throughout but marred by frequent fumbles by both teams.

The brand of basketball has steadily improved from the first of the season, anda smoothness of play is quite evident in all the teams. At the close of this league, an intra-mural league composed of teams from the various schools will be organized. This should prove as interesting as the present football league, and will probably attract a large number of candidates.
