Sororities Send

Bids On Saturday Preferential Parties Mark Close Of Rushing Period

To conclude the period of for­mal rushing, sororities will hold preferential parties Thursday night from 7:00 to 10:00, and will send out bids Saturday, Oct. 5.

A mass meeting for new stu­dents who are being rushed will take place in Washington 200'to­morrow at 5:30 p. m., not at 4:00 as originally scheduled. Ellen Diggs, president, and senior repre­sentative of the Pan-Hellenic coun­cil will be present to answer any questions and clear up any mis­understandings which have arisen during rushing.

Formal rushing began when sorority women visited new stu­dents in the dormitories last Thurs­day and Friday. Parties by in­vitation only held in the various houses were scheduled for Monday and Tuesday nights, as well as today. Preferentials will be the only theme parties, although skits and simple entertainment will be permitted at the parties today. During the entire period of formal rushing, no association between new students and sorority women has been permitted.

Approximately 94 women were eligible for rushing, 22 of whom were day students. According to Ellen Diggs, this means that under the quota system, each sorority will have a maximum of nine

pledges. Old students and married women were classified as eligible to be rushed.

President Pomfret

Extends Welcome

At Convocation Addressing the largest student

body in the College's history at the 254th Autumn Convocation, Friday, Sept. 28, President John E. Pomfret stressed a greater Will iam and Mary during this period which follows the war.

The president welcomed the class of 1950, all old and new stu­dents, and those studying at the St. Helena Extension School. He spoke of the many temporary cir­cumstances which were adapted to adjust to the enlarged student body this year. He assured Cheatham Annex students of accomodations in Williamsburg very shortly.

"The College will work toward building men's dormitories . on Richmond Road and the construc­tion of the Fine Arts and Human­ities Building," and though he did not wish to be quoted in The FLAT HAT, the eventual construction of a Student Union Building.

In speaking of a greater college, Dr. Pomfret asked us to develop a sense of belonging and the feel­ing of community living. "The alumnus should want to return to his alma mater because of reward­ing associations made here with the faculty and fellow students." A successful college should afford scope and challenge to each stu-

Frosfi Tribunal

Hands Out Stiff Penalties A t First Solemn Meeting Phi Bete, hallowed hall of fame,

echoed with horrified screams and pleading cries Saturday evening, as all gross freshman suffered the results of the first Tribunal.

Eight dignified judges, the chief prosecutor, and the bailiff solemnly filed in, as Ginger Wright played the morose and foreboding Funeral Dirge. All freshman were ordered to stand in awe and honor of these Tribunal members.

The case of the first defendents, Sue Green and Beverly Jacobson, was called by Chief Prosecutor, Dr. Harry T. Stinson, After being duly accused and found guilty by prosecutor Henry "You don't know, do you?" Shook, the two lowly freshman donned white coats, and gave each other beauty treatments —mud from Matokoa to preserve their pulchritude. Later attend­ance at the dance confirmed their attractive appearances.

Herman Gordon became the sub­ject of taunts from the terrible tribunal for having a speck of dust on his due cap. To teach him habits of neatness and cleanliness, the judges decreed that he should push, with his nose, a fountain pen

the entire length of Phi Bete's center aisle.

Imagine throwing Williamsburg H20 on dates! Joan Joshner

and Ann Black were, strangely enough, found guilty for these of­fenses, and after being discussed and commented on by the judges,

HAVEN'T GROWN UP YET, SAID THE JUDGES, ana the, punishment was made to fit the crime at Freshman Tribunal Saturday night. Harry Stinson, chief prosecutor, conducted the case against the deeply guilty freshman with vigor and "fairness."

they were asked to adjourn to Rexall's No. 1 and the College Pharmecy on an errand for the Tribunal.

Tearing themselves free of all bewitching coeds, James Docal, Tom Cunningham, and Washington Baxter clambered to the stage in answer to the dire demands of Clerk of the Court, Herbert Bate-man. Accused of flirting with the feminine members of the college, and completely ignoring all male constituents, these three pleaded an immediate "guilty." Instruc­tions for the benefit of all way­ward freshman men was given them. Three baby bottles of milk were handed the boys, and they ran a race to see who could drink the most milk in one minute. As a reward, diapers and rattles were presented to them.

Lenalee Riggins and John Fletcher, charged with chasing with no intent of catching any­thing but chiggers, were given the supreme punishment of the Tribu­nal. Eggs, vinegar, molassses, and salt was the sophomore prescrip-' tion for such crimes. Mixed well, and rubbed in one's hair, it does wonders for any lowly freshman.

alumnus to register in order that an accurate count of those present may be had. To speed this pro­cess, registration will also ' take place at the sorority and fraternity houses.

The Homecoming parade will assemble on Jamestown Road at 10:30 a. m. and move down Duke of Gloucester Street to the Capitol and back. The old Courthouse steps will serve as the reviewing stand, and among others watching the parade from there will be the five judges: Robert H. Land, Asso-siate Librarian at the college, as chairman, H. E. Fowler, Professor of History; H. D. Corey, Director of the Placement Bureau; Miss Lillian Cumming, Professor of Home Economics; Mrs. Alma Lee Rowe, and L. F. Patrick.

Three thousand alumni and guests of the college will be served the traditional Brunswick Stew luncheon in the Sunken Garden by Y. O. Kent, manager of the Cafeteria. The meal had in pre­vious years been served in Matoaka Park, but due to a lack of parking space it cannot take place there this year. The football game versus VMI will commence ~ at 2:30 p. m. and at the half, the prize winning float of -the parade will be announced over the public address system. After the game, sororities and fraternities will hold open house, and there will also be an open house held by the Williamsburg Alumni Chapter at Tazewell Hall. A buffet supper for alumni will be served in the game room of the Lodge. Festivi­ties will be concluded by the Alumni Dance in Blow Gym from 9:00 p. m. to 12:00 a. fn.

The Parade organization meet­ing was held last night at 7:30 p. m. in Washington 100, but anyone who did not send a representative and still wants to participate in the parade should see Mr. McCurdy at the Alumni Office immediately.

carter asks postponed rushing in

we can not afford to forget tradition

What has happened to the traditional "hello" on the William and Mary campus? Heretofore, this tradition has been as much a part of the College as the Wren Building, cafeteria lines, and midnight bull-sessions. W e can't afford to let it disappear.

William and Mary has grown, that is true! This year's enroll­ment is the largest in the College's history. Both men's and women's

dormitories are filled to capacity and a great number of students live off campus. Administration changes have been many. There have been over two dozen new professors added to the faculty staff.

But the presence of new faces and in­creased enrollment should only heighten the interest of each pne of us in maintaining a friendly atmosphere, for friendliness leads to unity and a unified student body is a strong student body.

Our College is a small community in itself. W e live, work and play in this community for most of the year. William and Mary, therefore, becomes the main part of our lives during the time we spend here, and the memories we carry away with us are seldom forgotten. Alumnus return for years after their graduation to the campus where many of their happiest memories were founded.

W h y ? One of the reasons is that they recall a congenial atmo­sphere which is synonymous with the name of their College.

Don't hesitate. It 's a simple greeting, the word "hello," but it is the foundation of one of William and Mary's greatest assets— friendliness!

I t takes determined leadership and a great faith in students to face their demands after repeated disappointments. Alan C. Stewart of the fine arts department has given us a pep band for football games, a band for Saturday night dances and is rehearsing an orchestra. Of course the participation of students is the basic factor but it has been M r . Stewart's planning that brought all these things to an early

stewart deserves student support

Last year M r . Stewart attempted to organize several musical groups and re-cieved little reward with the first two ventures. In the spring the orchestra reached new heights with two concerts.

This fall M r . Stewart gathered together all those interested in a pep band and in a few short weeks has given the college a group that is worthy of praise.

T h e band sounded the.spirit of the crowd at the Fort McClellen game and they were right there on short notice for the gathering in front of Phi Beta Kappa hall for the re-broadcast of the Miami game. T h e willingness of the students to give their time to practice and play­ing shows that they appreciate M r . Stewart's ability and loyalty.

In addition to his duties in the music department, M r . Stewart has taken over the job of advising the dance committee. Anyone who has worked weekly dances knows that it is an endless and thankless^ob.

M r . Stewart's project shows a great determination and we offer him our thanks for a job well done but more particularly we admire his spirit. It is this sort of feeling that makes for a united student body. A faculty member who believes in the students has shown the way; may we all follow.

J . A. S.

william and mary go-round Last week formal rushing for

girls commenced after the nine sororities voted five to four in two referenda in favor of rush­ing. Such an early date for an event that some girls consider an important step in their lives naturally brings about hasty deci­sions, confusion, and various and sundry other items requiring quick action. We contend that such hasty action is not conducive to the best interests of all girls concerned. * * .

Formal rushing for boys will present a great and hectic problem because of the higher number of eligible boys nearly 750. Ac­cording to the "Rushing Rules and Regulations" in the constitution of the Fraternity Association, formal rushing of men students "shall begin at 12 noon on the first Mon­day following the date on which autumn mid-semester grades are due at the office of the Registrar."

Fairness To All

In all fairness to the fraternities and to' the boys eligible to be rushed, we think that formal rush­ing should be delayed until next March or even the week following spring vacation. By postponing rush week until next semester, the fraternities will have gained an important instrument time time which will enable them to know more fully the academic and

social attributes of potential pledges. We maintain that this knowledge cannot be obtained satisfactorily in a short period

Eligibility for rusning in accord­ance with present rules is deter­mined by the grades of the first mid-semester and in many cases these grades the worst compiled by freshman and upperclassmen. The students at this time are gen-* erally frustrated and not ready to settle down. Also, many veterans are enrolled for the first time and many others have returned to col­lege after absences averaging three years. Too much time spent away from books will not help them either and many students and veterans are eager to make a suc­cess of their college days.

New Problems

If the delay of formal rushing until next semester was granted by the Fraternity Association, the problems of determining just eligi­bility rules for rushing and initia­tion will immediately arise. Granted, the present rules will not conform to the proposed change of rush week.

In the "Rushing Rules and Reg­ulations" of the Fraternity Asso­ciation, Rule 4, section a. states that a student must pass a mini­mum of nine academic hours at the mid-semester to be eligible to

be rushed and section c. of the same rules states that a student must have passed a minimum of twelve semester hours, which may include Physical Education, during the semester preceding the one in which he is to be initiated.

Last spring the fraternities were reactivated and permitted to rush and initiate on the strength of mid-semester grades. This solu­tion was only natural since the fraternities were trying to rebuild in strength and in activities in order to take a more alert part in campus affairs in the future. However, this plan was in force only for that specific time and purpose. February Grades

If the rush week is delayed until March or April, February grades could be used as a basis for initia­tion and rushing. This basis, we believe, would be one that is just and convienient to all concerned. The grades will have a tendency to be higher as the students will have time to settle down and ac­custom themselves to college life.

With the adoption of these sug­gestions, or similar ones, the significance of knowing and under­standing many of the 750 boys will be apparent and honest opinions can be formulated thereby light­ening the laborious task of rush week.

pritchard takes a look at things

now that th e men are oac back AT THE college, it's men two to

one. And we love it. Jockey corner lives again with taunts from the local male talent and the coy feminine population, tries its best to be blase about more mascu­line pulchritude than they've seen in three years. It's the fraternity pins that cause that scheming look in the coed's eye. Maybe they're planning to add to their collection of wings 'n anchors 'n things. And remember you mercenary fe­males, frat pins are jeweled.

* * # *

We get a big kick out of the attention we receive almost every­where. Stags at dances remind us of prep school days. The dif­ference lies in the contrast between the heavy, five-o'clock shadows and those shiny, Ivory-soaped faces. We remind the gentlemen of the old Burma shave jingle:

College boys, your courage muster,

Shave off that fuzzy cookie-duster.

The dining hall reminds us of what we've heard about the old days, when the football players "slung the hash" with all the fin-

esse of a fifty-yard pass. We know one waiter who serves a grade A smile with every table he cleans. He even goes so far as to pull back the chairs for the fair ladies. What really gets us is when he leans over and whispers in a deep and touching voice, "Do you mind if I take the dishes?" We'll give you a hint as to who he is if all you gals will promise not to monopolize him. His name is Charlie.

* * * * Inflation is here. As if it weren't

enough to have to catch a hundred bugs for Biology, the price of bugging cards has gone up 300%. That's bad for the freshman but for those who are trying Bio for the second and third times, it's terrific.

• * # . # * We hear that quizzes are just

around the corner as per usual and we've got a solid question for some professor who doesn't have time to make out his test. The only objection is that it was re­cently tried at a mid-western university and we're bitter that we didn't get it first. "Describe

the universe and give two exam­ples." Not bad for an hour quiz, huh?

tried her best to keep our inner selves from fasting during the past year. We and many others shall long remember the good times we had with her. Best of luck to the valient Douglas.

who go through rushing will notice the freshly painted furniture in the houses. It seems ridiculous that anyone who has reached the supposed mentality of upper-class­men cannot realize that the gals don't even know what's being said, much less inspect the furni­ture.

legion's service to college The publication date of The FLAT HAT was to have been

Tuesday this week, with the same schedule continuing fw>m now on. Thus, all the news in this week's paper was written with the expecta­tion that it would be read on Tuesday.

Mechanical difficulties in the publishing office caused this first early issue to miss its publication date. As this note is written, there is not a linotype machine in working order in Williamsburg, both of the machines having broken down today. From now on, however, look for your FLAT HAT on Tuesday night.

To the Editor: It has been two weeks since the

student body returned for the winter session. But in that short time it has been apparent that one group on campus had planned for a program of service and were ready to meet any emergency in which they might be of aid to the whole student body. I refer to the local post of the American

Legion. Since its inception last spring,

the post has elected not to enter­tain themselves but to serve the greatest number possible and has achieved a fine record for keeping atune to campus needs. They have initiated the drive to keep students on the walks, they came through with a rebroadcast of the Miami. game and are now hard at work

on a "share the ride" program for the convenience of those veterans and men students living off the campus .

The veterans have done more than return to our community, they have become an outstanding service unit.

Sincerely,

homecoming heralds the real return of pre-war college life Somehow the big celebration

planned for the V.M.I, game week end, October 26, seems to us to mark a milestone. We've been on the road back to pre-war activities' ever since last February, and now we appear to have reached the

much-vaunted "things to come." The game, open houses all over

the campus, the famed parade of floats about which the seniors heard ever since their advent on the campus, the dances—all seem faintly strange and completely

wonderful to the "war class." At least one moral can be point­

ed ffom the whole affair, and that "is that it wasn't the administra­tion's fault all the time. It was obvious while we were going through the belt-tightening of the

war that the administration wasn't responsible for the lack of food and the lack of campus improve­ments and the lack of social op­portunities; but the nervousness and unrest that everyone felt seemed always to be expended in

ire at the administration. Now we have arrived. Now

everybody can calm down and have in college the really good, thoroughly well-rounded life he expected. This is the end of the road b»ck. N. L. E,

Exeter social life is "pretty much the same as here." It's coed, with 500 students, average size for an English college. The men and women, however, don't mix much except at dances and social functions. Each hall has its own dining room and sometimes there are exchange lunches with the men.

Wiley Leads Dance Band With Horowitz As Vocalist

Organized under the leadership of Ash Wiley, the College Dance Band made its debut Saturday night, September 21, at Blow Gym. Featuring Bobbi Horowitz as vocalist, the band is composed of five saxaphones, three trumpets, a piano, bass and drums.' Wiley has an­nounced the band's policy will be "to play what the students want and to answer their requests for numbers if possible."

In his Norton, Va., high school, Wiley was captain of the band and leader of his own dance band. While in the Army, he led the Special Service Band in England, then in France. Afterwards, Wiley played alto sax and clarinet in the Supreme Headquarters Band. He will handle the male vocals for the College Band.

Bobbi, who played violin at the High School of Music and Art in New York, called her selection as vocalist "a life-long dream finally come true."

Contest For Name The band plans to run a contest

for a name which will reward the winner free admission to all Sat­urday night dances this year. Playing for sorority and frater­nity dances as well as affairs at

Fifteen Students Help In Revising Government 200

Fifteen students of Government 200 acted as a Student Advisory Committee to the department of government last May in outlining and revising the course for this coming year. The committee, originated by the department of government and elected by the proportional representation in the class, made suggestions on the content and method of handling the Government 200 courses. The department then considered and acted on these recommendations. • Quizzes this year will be chiefly short answer, with more emphasis on the definition, identification, multiple-choice and essay type of question than in the past. This method will enable the student to demonstrate an understanding of governmental principles, as well as a knowledge of textual facts, Dr. Warner Moss, head of the de­partment, said.

Another student advisory com­mittee will be" elected later this semester. Those serving on the committee for the last semester are as follows: Alfred Hurt, Rux Birnie, George Bartholomew, Cary Modlin, Robert Heekel, Bristow Hardin, Wesley Cofer, Jim Field, Larry Goldsmith, Robert E. Cart-wright, Fred Herman, Shirley Ann Sprague, Lorabeth Moore, Mean R. Morgan, and Knox Ramsey.

Opposite Brown Hall

Two of last week's record con­test entrants found themselves possessors of two prize records each some four or five hours after The FLAT HAT was distributed Wednesday. T h e co-winners, Sammy Banks, B-25 Taliaferro Hall, and Jay Kirkpatrick, A-101 Tyler, both had correct answers to the initial quiz in the mail bearing a 2:30 p. m. Wednesday postmark.

A brief summary of the answers is as follows: Jan Savitt bills his orchestra as, "The Top Hatters." Bob Crosby is Bihg's brother. Frankie Carle plays the piano. Duke Ellington's first band, The Washingtonians, was organized in 1924. Perry Como got his start as a singer with Ted Weems. MOONLIGHT SERENADE was the theme song of the late Glenn Miller. Authoring such other titles as THE PENGUIN, TWILIGHT IN TURKEY, THE GIRL WITH THE LIGHT BLUE HAIR, Raymond Scott is responsible for the opus, THE POWERHOUSE. In Phila­delphia, everybody's enthused about Elliot Lawrence—not Shafty Schultz.

Ryan On Wax A voice not heard on records for

some time is that of Tommy Ryan. Recently, a little known company in New Jersey, The Famous Rec­ord Corporation, cut four sides featuring the ex-Sammy Kaye vocalist in titles including 'STAR DUST, EMBRACEABLE YOU, and I GUESS I'LL GET -THE PAPERS AND GO HOME. Ryan has improved much since his last recording days and is given excel­lent backing by a small studio or­chestra. This duo of pressings is indicative of the value of the com­petition of the smaller labels with the all too stagnant larger wax-eries.

Frankie Carle's latest offering is both good listening and dancing. Carle's daughter, MarjorieHughes, delivers competent vocals for RUMORS ARE FLYING and WITHOUT YOU, backed ably by a full-sounding orchestra with Carle, himself, setting the motion with his famous piano styling.

Miami Defeats Braves W ithAerialBarrage,13-3

Indians' Lack Of Pass Defense Aids Hurricanes' Third-Period Outburst

Lack of any sort of pass defense proved the undoing of the In­dians last Friday night in the Orange Bowl as they bowed to the University of Miami by 13-3.

After being decidedly outclassed during the entire first half the Hurricanes took to the air in the early part of the third quarter and scored their two touchdowns in less than five minutes to wipe out a short-lived, 3-0, lead which the visitors had taken on Stan Magdziak's field goal.

The initial marker came on three plays, two of which were long heaves by Hal Johnston and the second was set up by Carl Mosso's 40-yard toss. Captain Harry Ghaul accounted for the lone extra point.

The first half was nearly all William and Mary after a Miami march following the opening kick-off had been stopped. Coach Jack 'Harding's men were halted on the Tribe's 20 after they had come from their own 33. Tommy Kor-czowski carried to the 35 and on the next play almost got away, scampering 45 yards before he was pulled down on the enemy 20. Here, however, the attack stalled as one of Korczowski's passes fell incomplete and the next was in­tercepted by Johnston on the Hur­ricane six. Ghaul punted to his 43 and the home forces went on the offense again when Buddy Lex fumbled and Frantz recovered.

After an exchange of punts Ghaul fumbled and Bob Steckroth recovered for the Tribe on Miami's 48. Jack Bruce went through left tackle for 12 yards and a first down on the 36 with Tom Mikula picking up five on the following play.

On the next two plays each side intercepted an enemy aerial and the men of Rube McCray found themselves with a first on the 37. Jack Cloud smashed through for 21 yards in two tries and a first down on the 16. Here a penalty for backfield in motion cost five yards and a pair of Lex's passes

Students Must Get Reserved Tickets

Special reserved seat tickets must be obtained by students for each home football game this year. These will be issued at the Athle­tic Office in Blow Gym upon pre­sentation of athletic tickets.

Each student wishing to attend any game here must procure one of these tickets before the day on which the game is to be played. They will be distributed at the office of Billy Gooch, business manager of athletics. Athletic tickets will not be good for ad­mission. This rule applies to faculty members as well as stu­dents-

Anyone wishing tickets for the games with North Carolina and the University of Richmond, which will be played in Richmond, may purchase them for $1.50, one dollar less than the regular price.

Tickets may be had during the following periods: For the V. P. I. game, Oct. 2-11; for V. M. I., Oct. 15-25; for Maryland, Oct. 28-Nov. 1; for North Carolina, Nov. 4-8; and for Richmond, Nov. 14-27. The office will close each day at 4 p. m.

Tenuis Intramurals Slated For October 9

Libby McLaughlin, head of wo­men's tennis, has announced that intramurals in that sport will be­gin Oct. 9.

A team consists of not more than four players. The last team may not include more than four and not less than two. There is no limit on the number of teams from each dorm or sorority house.

The list of teams must be in Libby McLaughlin's box in Jef­ferson Gym by 9 a. m. Saturday, Oct. 5, -

Last Friday's game can pro­bably be summed up in one word —passing. During the past two seasons the Tribe's defense against aerials has been almost non-exist-ant and the situation seems to be the same this year.

This could prove a fatal weak­ness unless it is corrected before the Indians face such sharpshoot­ers as Bob Thomason, of V.M.I., and Maryland's Tommy Mont. Every state team will be pointing for William and Mary and will no doubt rely on passing as their strongest weapon.

It would be hard to give too much praise to the Braves' line. Had Rube McCray's charges been as efficient in other departments of play, there would have been a vastly different result. Particu­larly outstanding was the work of Lou Hoitsma. Miami went over and sometimes around the green wall but they couldn't get through it.

The score was surprising to many who thought the Hurricanes would annihilate their opposition. Some people could be found who would give William and Mary and 21 points. Unfortunately, we couldn't discover any of them until too late.

It is easy to second guess any athletic contest, hindsight being much more accurate that pro­phecy. Memory, however, fails to present another case when a team on their opponents' four-yard stripe kicked a field goal, even if it was fourth down. Maybe an­other 3-0 win, like the one over Navy in '42, was envisioned but anyone who thought Miami would be held scoreless was quite an optimist.

Tommy Korczowski turned in a fine performance and very nearly scored for the Tribe in their first

Intramurals

All organizations intending to participate in any intramural ac­tivity throughout the year are again reminded that they must file their eligibility lists either with the intramural director or the intramural store room keeper before any entries can be received. All eligibility lists must include the college or local address of each member.

The deadline for entries for the tennis singles tournament is Oct. 5. All applications for en­trance in the touch football event will be received until Oct. 10.

Intramural director Howard Smith urges all organizations to apply early to assure themselves of entrance in the various activities.

All announcements, schedules and drawings will be posted on the intramural bulletin-board on the first floor of Blow Gymnasium.

Redmen Engage Citadel In Conference Opener

Bulldogs Furnish Opposition In First Of 8 Consecutive League Grid Tilts

When William and Mary meets The Citadel in Charleston, S. C , next Saturday the Indians will be facing the first of eight consecutive Southern Conference opponents. Such a large number of league foes has probably never been scheduled in a single season before.

After this game come three home attractions arid four which will be played on foreign gridirons. The opposition will be furnished by such powerful aggregations as North Carolina, Maryland and V. P.. I., all of which are pointing for the Tribe.

Papooses Engage Apprentice School

Having outclassed the Norfolk Marines, the Big Green 'B' team will tackle Newport News Appren­tice School Friday night in their first game away.

This is the first time since 1942 that William and Mary's inter­collegiate football team has fielded two squads. There is no definite line drawn, however, between the Papooses and the Varsity, as players may be shifted from one team to another according to their performances.

Head Coach Rube MoCray has put Bill Goodlow, star lineman of the 1941 team, in charge of the second team. Goodlow has been working with the Braves, since it first reported for practice on August 19. Within this time he has gotten a good idea of the ability of the players that are assigned to him.

Tribe B Team Beats Norfolk

By EARLE COPP

There was a touch of everything out at Cary Field last Saturday as the William and Mary 'B' Team was entertained by the Norfolk Marines.

The score was similar to that of the McClellan game, as the B-men, led by Garland Isaacs and Johnny Brown, pounded the visitors up and down the field and rolled up ten touchdowns to maKe the final score read, 63-0. No quarter end­ed without the Little Tribe hav­ing pushed over two tallies.

Isaacs and Bernie Ricketts col­laborated to push across the first touchdown. A punt by Norfolk's Bullen put the ball on the locals' 25. Isaacs ran through the Nor­folk secondary for 38 yards on the first play and Rickett carried eight more on the next. Isaacs made another first down on the 30-yard line of Norfolk. There was a momentary lull as the Marines took-over on downs on their own 10-yard stripe, but..a fumble on the four returned the ball to the Redmen. Isaacs hit the middle of the line for the : score on the first play.

Thereafter Coach Goodlow's men ran the Norfolk line ragged, rolling the score up almost every time they got their hands on the ball".

It was at this point that the rains and Johnny Brown came. The combination of Brown and Isaacs rolled up the final touch­down of the half. Brown passed and Isaacs ran the ball on a 50-yard march to pay dirt. It was Isaacs who plunged the ball over from inside the ten-yard stripe.

The rest of the game was all the Redmen's, with the final count giving Isaacs, Brown, Hoey, and Post two tallies apiece, and Wilson and Randolph Davis one each.

Lou Hoitsma, Outstanding For Freshman^Squad Of '42, Adds Strength To Varsity Eleven At Center Position

BY H. REID

Coach Rube McCray will have an especially strong spot at center in the Indian forward wall, what with big Lou Hoitsma and the recently returned Tommy Thomp­son vying for starting honors.

Hoitsma, who turned in a sparkling performance at the pivot post of the 1942 William and Mary freshman eleven, is a tall (six foot-two), well proportioned (weighs one-ninety) boy from Paterson, N. J. Active in both football and track in high school, Hoitsma was respected in both the role of center on the gridiron and hurler of the shot put in field events.

Following graduation from Pat­erson High, Lou entered William and Mary, and became the starting center of the unbeaten '42 frosh team. In short order, Hoitsma earned the reputation of being sur­passed by only the acclaimed and talented Tex Warrington.

LOU HOITSMA

Lou was a part of the great mi­gration of the William and Mary V-12 contingent to the University of Richmond in 1943, and was accorded all-State laurels that season. Appearing briefly at Annapolis the next Fall, his career there was cut short by the dis­

covery of a case of color blindness.

Lou received his commission as ensign toward the end of 1944, and was made athletic officer aboard a destroyer not long afterward, managing to squeeze, in a little football playing in Hawaii in the Fall of 1945. He was given his honorable discharge in May of this year, and, like many of the other returning veterans, enrolled in summer school.

Modest and well-mannered, Lou maintains that he "didn't do so much here in '42." But this pecul­iar "not doing so much" built him an enviable reputation then, and an odds-on chance for berths on the mythical honor teams this year.

Otis Douglas, captain of the 1931 William and Mary eleven, is signed to a playing contract with the Philadelphia Eagles Profes­sional team this year.

much competition as the elevens previously mentioned but Coach Quinn Decker can always be counted on to make the most of his material and his Bulldogs have often taken care of overconfi­dent enemies.

Emory Webster, a tailback, is one of the squad's top performers. A transfer from the University of Tennessee, he gave an excellent account of himself while in the armed forces. He was second to Charlie Trippi, the Georgia fire­ball, on the Third Air Force team, which Decker coached; and subbed for Bounding Bill Dudley, Vir­ginia's all-American, while at Randolph Field.

Al Salvato, a 1942 letterman, handles much of the passing while Luke Dunfee, a freshman, can also heave the ball. Tom Marcinko, monogram winner in '42, will pro­bably get the starting call at full­back, with the fourth member of the quartet being either Jack Pickard or Doe Harley.

The Charleston eleven has a good line but it can hardly com­pare to the forward wall which is one of the Braves' main assets.

Coach Rube McCray's charges, who flew to the Miami game, will also take to the air for this one, leaving Richmond about 9 a. m. Friday.

Approximately 35 men will make the trip. McCray has hopes that Jackie Freeman, one of his best kickers, will be sufficiently re ­covered from his injuries to take a large part in the hostilities. Cap­tain Denver Mills, who has also been sidelined for a long period, may be able to fill his starting position at right end. Herb Pop-linger will be at wingback should Bob Longacre not be ready to go.

Play Night Planned By Monogram Club

Plans for a Faculty Play Night and a Freshman Party were made at a special informal meeting of the Monogram Club last Tuesday evening, September 24, in Wash­ington 200.

"The Monogram Club is going to be put back on the map," said Betty Borenstein, president of the organization. She added, "The club is to have a more extensive program this year than any time since 1939." Besides the parties for the freshman and faculty, the organization will take over much of the entertaining for visiting varsity teams.

Membership in the club is ob­tained by the earning of any type of athletic monogram. Dr. Caro­line B. Sinclair is advisor of the group The other officers are Tommy Smith, vice-president, Harriet Hochstrasser, secretary, and Middy Henry, treasurer.

SKIRTS in SPORTS BY JOYCE WILCK AND BETTY BORENSTEIN

It shall not be the policy of this column to gripe continually; let us assure our readers (both of them) of that. But, when there is a problem of interest to the coeds or when there is something that needs straightening out, we are going to be in there pitching. And when the question is one which has been discussed previously, we feel it is our duty to bring it before the entire student body. And there is something we want to write about now.

Cold Swimming- In Blow During the summer school and

orientation period, Blow pool was open three or four times a week for coed swimming. Now that the winter session has started, we find that once again there is a segregation of the male and female population in the pool. We can see no reason for this.

According to one of the life guards who served, during the summer session, the system of coed swimming was highly successful. What is so different about summer school and winter school? It can­not be a matter of trust, for there is no striking difference in the student body now and then. The proportion of men to women was even greater during the summer. Besides these feeble comments, there is the so-called matter of honor, our proud guide—though where that enters into the ques­tion is a mystery to us^ Are summer school students more hon­orable than winter session pupils? That you cannot get us to believe!

Something To Do

There is a definite advantage to a plan such as ours. In the first place, in this town of one theatre and little else, such a sys­tem would be a welcome relief to all of us. Imagine having a slight choice of what to do oh a date! (This does not exclude the Sunken Garden steps—one can go there before or after, fellow students!)

On a Sunday evening, the stu­dents are in a worst plight. Even the drug stores forsake us. Surely, then, the opening of the pool for even this one night a week would provide an outlet for fun.

Water Safety Corps Announces Program

Girls who are senior life savers or water safety instructors are needed to conduct recreational ac­tivities, help with swimming classes, and participate in the spring water pageant. All quali­fied girls, including freshman, are asked to sign up with Eleanor Lang in Chandler 102. Junior life savers are not eligible.

A picnic to Yorktown will high­light the first meeting of the water safety corps. Announcement of the date and time will be made soon.

McCray received a complete re­port from his assistants, Eric Tip­ton and Tom Power, who scouted the Bulldogs in their opener against Presbyterian and had this to say: "Citadel has a fine team. They have several men in school who played for the Third Air Force while in the service. I con­sider this game a toss-up."

The probable starting lineup follows: Bob Steckroth, left end; Harry Caughran, left tackle; Bill Safko, left guard; Lou Hoitsma, center; Knox Ramsey, right guard; Ralph Sazio, right tackle; Marvin Graham, right end; Tom Mikula, quarterback; Tommy Korczowski, left half; Bob Longacre, right half; and Chet Mackiewicz, fullback.

sequence of plays. Conference foes will see a great deal of him this Fall and they won't like it.

Although the season got into full swing only last week, several of the highly-rated teams have gone down to defeat and others just managed to squeeze out hard-won victories. Biggest conference news was N.-C. State's unexpected 13-6 win over Duke as they outplayed the Blue Devils all the way. V.P.I. proved that they have quite a team when they fought power-laden North Carolina to a 14-14 deadlock. Charlie Justice put on a great show but he couldn't bring the Tarheels out on top.

Without Doc Blanchard, Army was only able to take Oklahoma by 21-7. Missouri tied Ohio State, 13-13. Indiana, beaten in their opener by Cincinnati, held Michi­gan to just three touchdowns. Al­abama edged- Tulane by the nar­rowest of margins, 7-6, and Dart­mouth stopped Holy Cross, 3-0. Navy could score just once against Villanova, winning by 7-0.

Anybody who tries to pick foot­ball games this year ought to be satisfied if he gets 60 per cent right. The little teams of past seasons whom everyone used to beat with regularity will be in there pitching and might win more than their share.

Chi Delta Phi Plans

Annual Open House Jeanne Lamb was elected presi­

dent of the local chapter of Chi Delta Phi, national honorary lit­erary sorority, at the first meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 24, in Chandler living room.

For women students' interested in joining Chi Delta Phi an annual open house has been planned to be held in the Dodge room of Phi Beta Kappa hall on Thursday, Oct. 10, with an informal talk by a member of the English depart­ment.

missed fire. On fourth down Magdziak attempted a field goal from the 33 but the ball fell far short.

The Braves moved again late in the second period and penetrated to the Hurricane 33. After Herb Poplinger picked up eight on a re­verse, Johnston took a pass from Lex, intended for Sloan, as the first half ended.

Ed Injaychock's bobble led to the Redmen's score early in the third period as the visitors moved from the Miami 47 to the 9. After three tries at the line gained just five yards, Magdziak booted a placement from the 12 to give Wil­liam and Mary three points.

This seemed to touch off the Miami offense. Bob McDougal went from his 28 to the 33 after the kickoff and then Johnston heaved a long one to Tony Yovic^ Sin on the Tribe 22. John Mell captured the next toss in the end zone. Ghaul missed the attempted conversion and Miami led, 6-3.

When the Hurricanes again got the ball Mosso threw 40 yards to Bowman on the W&M 19. Mc­Dougal went over from there in four plays. Ghaul's kick made the count 13-3 and ended the scor­ing.

The Indians, who were wilting in the terrific heat, began to yield again in the last quarter and the Hurricanes pushed over another touchdown, only to have it called back for holding. They were threatening as the game ended.

to the "films" as often as she can. "Bette Davis of course," Rosiland Russell, and Barbara Stanwyck "are my favorites." She likes Humphrey Bogart best of Ameri­can actors, but "James Mason is the rave at home."

Kay enjoys walking in the depths of the English country. "And I'm the world's champion kitten trainer. I love them!" she said.

Kay emphatically supports Eng­land's climate. "It doesn't rain all the time, and there's only fog in November! I nearly passed out from the heat in New York!"

With her characteristic enthu­siasm, she is looking forward to her first football game. Rugby players wear shorts, jerseys, knee sox, boots, and no helmets!

"I simply love the food here," Kay raved. _"I've fallen in love with grapefruit juice, ice cream, and American coffee. One of the stock sayings of Yanks in London is, 'Do you call this coffee?'" she laughed.

"I really do love it here," she said, "And I know they like Jack Simmons very much in England."

Students Back Gridders With Cheers A t Home

At 7:15 last Friday night the strains of the college band re­sounded across the campus as 500 students, faculty, and townspeople gathered about the steps of Phi Beta Kappa hall to listen to the re-broadcast of the Miami-William and Mary game.

Under the auspices of the American Legion Post 294 and 12 downtown business houses, the game was relayed from the tele­graph office to Phi Bete five minutes after the actual plays were made. As each summary came from the Western Union teletype, Wally Heatwole an­nounced it to the anxious crowd of listeners. Wally will announce

all home games for WRVA of Richmond.

During the intervals when the messages were delayed, the band played, the cheer leaders led the crowd in wild cries for the team, and now and then the sentimental strains of a record could be heard above the sound of eager voices guessing the outcome of the big game.

The entire scene had all the aspects of a real game, and every­one joined in the cheers as if the team had actually been close enough to hear them. The spirit displayed would have encouraged every member of the team.
