EDITORIAL

For many years after it became popularto publish college magazines they were all,in their get-up, practically alike. The de-partments were about the same in numberand design—editorial, literary, exchange,local, humorous, etc. Ideas of what wasproper in magazine form probably originatedin colleges predominately literary in theirtraining. Such ideas suited these colleges,and their publications were creditable. Insti—tutions concerned with practical trainingmostly, where interest, ability, and trainingalong literary lines was quite naturally lack—ing, put out comparatively poor magazines.This has at last been generally realized, andin practical colleges those in charge of thestudent publications have changed theirpolicy. Instead of emphasizing the usualstories, poems, etc., they are making effortsparticularly to get articles and essays onthose things which the students are mostinterested in. The Georgia School of Tech-nology several years ago adopted this plan

They publishedwith conspicuous success.excellent scientific articles, numbers of themillustrated with drawings. While we intend

by no means to do aught but encouragewritings along any line, we would like tourge contributions to THE RED AND WHITEfrom the men interested in scientific workhere. That is your work; you ought to talkabuot it. The columns of this paper arehere for you to talk through. If you origi-nate an idea, let’s have it. If you are firmlyconvinced that one method is superior toanother, state your reasons. If you perfecta theory, out with it! If you know of a needthat is not being supplied, what is the use ofkeeping quiet over the matter?

If only a small proportion of the Sixhundred and more men here engaged inscientific work would write of their troublesand joys, we would have a creditable lot ofarticles to publish every two weeks.

The following charges have been Officiallychronicled against the student body by theCollege librarian:

1. Mutiliation of magazines on the read—ing tables by clippings being taken fromthem, sometimes to the extent of removingwhole articles.

64 THE RED AND WHITE

2. Magazines taken from reading tablesand kept out of the library for some days,and sometimes not returned at all. TheNovember American, to be explicit, wastaken out and returned in sections—thecover on the third day and the magazine onthe fourth day. The October issue is yet tobe brought back.

3. Books taken from the library withoutbeing registered at the librarian’s desk, andnot returned.

It is to be presumed that the above viola-tions of the rules were results of carelessnessor thoughtlessness. It is almost inconceivablethat, to any one of intelligence who hasobserved the working system of a library atall, it should be necessary to point out theinconveniences which such violations cause.Nothing but the fact that such acts have beencommitted is able to convince one of thenecessity for pointing out these incon—veniences. But here they are:

Practically all of the periodicals whichcome to the library are preserved, and, atthe end of the year, are bound. These boundmagazines form the most valuable referencefiles which the library possesses. A mutilatedmagazine is valueless for filing purposes.It is not a matter, moreover, of 10 or 15cents for a new magazine, for the fact thata certain issue is not complete is not dis—covered till the end of the year, when it isimpossible to obtain back numbers of singleissues. Thus the whole year’s volume is,from a research standpoint, rendered of novalue.

If a magazine is removed from the read-ing table, every one who is accustomed toread that magazine is inconvenienced atnot being able to find it in the usual place.They in turn inconvenience the librarianby application to her for the missing periodi—cal, for she makes a vain time—wastingsearch for it. If a book is removed withoutits being registered, the same process of in-convenience is instituted when any one wantsthe book, for all the records in the librarywill say that the book is in the shelves.Books thus taken are often forgotten, andin several cases they were volumes of sets.

A single volume of a set of books cannot bereplaced. If magazines or books are takenout with malice aforethought, of course,the act is nothing more nor less than pettylarceny.The rules of a library are absurdly easy

to keep. You hang your hat on the hooksprovided, wipe your feet on the doormat,go in and keep quiet, and you have satis-fied half of the requirements. If you wanta magazine to read, there they are on thetables; read them and put them down. If youwant a book for outside reading, get it (thelibrarian’s assistance is willingly and gladlygiven in finding it, if necessary), register itat the desk, and go on your way. If youdo not wish to take the book out, far frombeing stringently required to replace thebook 011 its shelf, you are urgently requiredto leave it on the desk in passing out. Simpleas are these requirements, however, properuse of the library demands the observance ofthem: disregarding them is abuse.The system in use here, the open—shelf

system, is obviously one of trust and confi-dence. It presupposes honesty in the studentbody, and gentlemanliness. It scorns tothink that it has to deal with barbarianswho can see things from a selfish standpointonly, and who are altogether disregardful0f the privileges and rights of others. Butfrom the recent conduct of students in thelibrary, it seems that it might be wise toput locks and chains over the book—shelvesand policemen at the door.

Guilford College accepted at once thechange from our debating council. Thequestion for debate has not been fully de—cided upon, but we understand it will beheld in February at the Normal and Indus—trial College at Greensboro. The girls willbe present to the last member of the student-body, but we want our men to lead the con-versation that night with the record oflast year, our men should go into the contestwith sleeves up. Guilford is enthusiasticover the contest. However, let’s show themwhat real debating is. If we don’t win theapproval of those girls, Guilford will!

THE FIELD OF THE COLLEGEINAGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

S. G. RUBINOW,Assistant Boys’ Club Agent.

There is no issue today, of national signifi-cance that is of such paramount interestand importance as the work of public voca-tional and utilitarian education. No edu-cational movement of the past can parallelthe scope, the purpose, the tremendous possi-bilities, the wealth of this New Education——the education of the hand, the eye, and themuscle, as well as the mind. In this day ofkeen competition there is arising an unusualdemand for men who know how to do things,whose service can be purchased and utitlizedadvantageously; one of the functions ofthe Land-Grant Colleges of Agriculture andMechanic Arts is to supply this demand.In accepting the invitation of the editor to

contribute a few words on one phase of thisNew Education, I can candidly say thatagricultural education offers unusual oppor—tunities to prospective graduates of agricul-tural colleges for service, distinction, andremuneration. A large number of the Statesare still agrarian in character, and will befor many years; particularly is this true ofNorth Carolina and of the whole Southwest,where the processes of rejuvenation andbuilding up have just been started. I

Secondary schools and institutions, whichhave been traditionally opposed to the intro-duction of vocational subjects, are rapidlybreaking their prejudicialnotions, largely as the result of popularpressure. As far back as Washington’s time,when lands first exhibited signs of exhaus-tion, there came a demand for public agricul—tural information, resulting in the organiza—tion of the Federal Department of Agricul—ture, the establishment of land—grant collegs,the development of experiment stations, the

away from

foundation of extension services. And thismovement has progressed so rapidly thatthere is no definitely recognized type ofschool today which does not attempt at leastto give some instruction in agriculture.

Hundreds of thousands of men, women,

and children, unable to conform to formalregimes of education, are being instructedin various phases of agricultural educationthrough the medium of extension services.Boys and girls by the thousands belong tothat organized group of activities in agricul—tural education, known as Agricultural andHome Economics Clubs. Farmers’ societies,community organizations, agricultural fairs,marketing associations, the great agriculturalpress—these are just a few illustrations ofthe concreteness and practicability of therecent rapid progress of productive peda-€053,557-

Commercially, there has been as large anadvancement in agriculture toward efficiencyand progress as there has been educationally.Almost every railroad in the country em-ploys an agricultural agent; manufacurers offarm machinery have their agricultural edu—cational bureaus; one producer and manu-facturer of fertilizers has issued informativebulletins in twenty-four different languages,adaptable to special immigration. Banksand private enterprises have their agricul—tural advisers. The agricultural press hasbecome a recognized factor of power for de-velopment. Farmers’ associations are strongenough to create legislation favorable to thefarming constituency.To the agricultural college graduate in-

numerable doors open upon avenues of ac—tion. It is commonplace to predict a nearfuture when every county will have a countyagent and a home demonstration agent;when every rural school will be teachingagriculture and home economics; when thetide of population will begin to go fromcity to the country. Last year 85 per centof the agricultural freshman class at CornellUniversity came from cities, while 65 percent of those entering the College of Agri-culture of the University of Wisconsin hadnever seen live stock on the farm.

The student at the agricultural collegeis advantageously situated in his chosenwork. When he leaves his college, let himtake the fullest conception of agriculturaleducation along with him, to amplify, topropagate, and to instil into the communitywhere he is stationed. Let him remember

that the institution which has graduated himis symbolic of Utility, Efficiency, Service.When he and his classmates ‘succeed inlinking up the college with every ruralagency working for good and progress; whenthe boy and girl on the farm have the sameeducational facilities as the urban childrenenjoy; when farmers enjoy social, edu-cational, recreative, and religious opportuni-ties as their city neighbors do; when therewill be no poor roads; when the farmer isorganized in his buying and selling as themerchant is; when rural school teachers areadequately paid—when these changes comeabout, the agricultural college graduate willconcientiously feel that he has played a bigpart in the new field of agricultural Educa-tion.

THE A. AND M. DAIRYCATTLE JUDGING TEAM

.—T. C. REED, Associate Professor in Dairying

I have been asked by your editors to writea story for the College paper concerning thework of the dairy cattle judging team thatrepresented you at the National Dairy Showheld at Springfield, Mass, from October 16to 21.The team composed of the students W. R.

Radford, L. D. Thrash, and Joseph Lee, Jr.,made the trip to Springfield and in the stu-dents’ judging contest held October 13 com-peted against eighteen other dairy cattlejudging teams representing the leadinguniversities and colleges from the middlewestern States and the northern tier ofStates. North Carolina A. and M. Collegewas the first and the only one of the southerntier of States ever to enter this Nationalcontest. Our team competed against veteranteams, most of them having judged in stu—dent contests at fairs and shows of nationalcharacter such as the Southwestern DairyShow at Kansas City and the Brockton Fairat Brockton, Mass.The results of the contest were given out

Saturday night following the contest in oneof the large lecture—rooms beneath the Colos-seum Stadium. All of the teams, their

coaches, representatives of the NationalDairy Association, and representatives of thedifferent breed associations were present. Itwas a source of great pride to the men rep-resenting you to hear the name of the NorthCarolina A. and M. College read severaltimes on the final results, especially as theprizes offered and to be awarded were smallin number when compared to the individualsand teams entered.

Joseph Lee, Jr., received the $400 scholar-ship as the award for the highest score out offifty—nine contestants in judging Holsteincattle. The scholarship, given by the H01-stein—Friesian Association of America, wasone of the four offered by the four leadingdairy cattle associations in the United States.In other words, out of the $1,600 offered andcontested for by the fifty-seven men com-promising the nineteen teams, $400 was wonby one of your representatives. This schol—arship enables Mr. Lee to take graduate workin any of the leading universities or collegesin the country.Your team came within a few points of

winning the trophy offered by the AyreshireBreeders’ Association. Four trophies wereoffered by the different breed associations.“A miss is good as a mile,” it is said; but itis good to know that the team ranked so highin team work in judging the classes of thisbreed.As a team we won tenth place. The Uni-

versity of Nebraska won first place, followedby the Kansas Agricultural College andIowa State College. The difference in pointsbetween tenth and fourth place, that wentto Missouri, was small.

I want to mention the work of the stockjudging team composed of W. R. Radford,J. H. Poole, Joseph Lee, Jr., L. D. Thrash,and P. W. Johnson, that competed in thestudent contest at the Virginia State Fair.This team made an excellent showing al-though in the final count Virginia won by afew points.Another team will represent us at the

Madison Square Garden Poultry Show inDecember. We expect a good showing bythis team. The team will be composed of

68 THE RED AND WHITE

three men selected by Dr. B. F. Kaupp fromthe advanced poultry classes.By way of closing this story, let me ask,

What good ever comes of these teams to beof credit to our College, our student body,and our State? The advantages to the indi-vidual members of the teams are obvious.Nothing fosters student pride in their col—lege or university like a victorious team.Whether the team is victorious or not, co-operative thought and action in the one di—rection lends to loyalty and efficiency in allcollege activities. To be On the map with agood purpose, and to have other people knowit, stimulates student pride, faculty pride,and State pride. The expressed pride andloyalty shown by the individual student, thestudent body, and the faculty on all occa-sions, whether in the classroom, on the cam-pus, on the team, or behind the team, is, itseems to me, what is commonly referred toas college spirit. Only a virile student spiritcan carry your teams to victory, whetherthey be stock judging, poultry, horticulture,debating, football, or baseball teams. When—ever your team wins, you win, the alumniwins, your college Wins, your State wins.Every student is eligible to try out for one

of the teams mentioned above. Try out forthem, and even if you don’t make the team,get behind it with all the spirit of winningyou have.C. C. ALLISON CHAMPION

PRODUCER OF SANITARY MILK

C. C. Allison, who took a two—year courseat A. and M. in 1908—’09, is now managerof the finest dairy in New York State, whichprobably means that it is unexcelled through—out the world, as further details will go toshow. ‘Mr. Allison started with this dairyas an ordinary milker at $30 a month, andin this short time has risen to entire super-v1s1on.The dairy under discussion is the Brook-

side Dairy Farm of Newburgh, N. Y. New—burgh is in Orange County, which is thecenter of milk production for New YorkState. On the Brookside Farm there aver—ages about 100 cows, of the Holstein and

Guernsey breeds, in milk the year round.There is no special effort made to secure orbreed show cattle, but every cow is selectedwith a View to milk production and standson her record as a producer.The sales of milk from this farm last year

amounted to $50,000. Nothing except thebest, grade A raw (unpasteurized) milk, isproduced, and this is all shipped in bulk toa distributing firm in New York City, whereit retails for $1 a gallon or 25 cents a quart.At this price it has come into special demandfor baby food.That milk may be rated as grade A, the

New York standards require that the bac-terial count be less than 1,000 per cubiccentimeter. Mr.‘ Allison’s product gave anaverage count of only 800 for the whole oflast year. For six weeks last summer, when -conditions were usually most favorable forbacterial development, the New York Boardof Health reported that no bacteria couldbe found in the Brookside output. Manydairymen did not realize that such an ac—complishment was possible. The Board ofHealth even became suspicious of the useof some disinfectant, and sent an agent toinvestigate the matter. The agent spent aweek at the dairy, following the milk throughits whole journey, and came away convincedthat it was possible to produce milk abso—lutely free from bacterial contamination,and that such had been done.At each milking every cow is thoroughly

cleansed by four attendants. The first washesthe cow all over; the second dries her; thethird washes the udder and flanks with dis-infectant and dips her tail in a similar solu—tion; the fourth dries these parts thoroughlywith a sterile cloth. Nothing is ever usedin milking which has not first been steril—ized. The milkers’ suits, caps, and shoes;the pails, strainers, bottles and bottle caps,and even the milking stools, are sterilizedunder live steam at 20 pounds pressure. Thepressure is necessary in order to destroyspores. The whole interior of the barn ismoistened with a spray to settle all dustbefore the milking begins. Every milkeris required to take at least one bath daily,and before each milking the hands and fore-

THE BED AND WHITE 69

arms are washed with a disinfectant soapsolution. . Then, upon donning sterilizedclothes with elbow sleeves, the milking isbegun.

Every precaution is exercised to preventthe milk from becoming contaminated inhandling. The fore milk is drawn sepa-rately and fed to calves or pigs, in orderthat any bacteria which might be lodged inthe teat may not reach the milk sold forhuman consumption. The milk from eachcow is taken to the straining room, whereit is weighed, that the individual productionmay be known, and then strained. There isa newly sterilized cloth used for each cow’smilk, and one man does nothing but inspecteach milking as it passes through. The milkis strained not to separate dirt, if any exists,but to detect such, and when the inspectorfinds hairs or particles of dirt on the strainerthe milk from that cow is discarded.The milk is then cooled to a temperature

just above freezing and put up in sterilizedbottles. A sterilized paper disk is placed inthe mouth of the bottle and a metal cap,bearing the name of the farm and the dateand hour of milking, is clamped over thetop. The bottles are placed in ice—cooledchest and shipped to the distributing firmin New York City, which makes a specialtyof pure, sanitary milk.

Visitors are never admitted to the milkingbarns of this dairy without first being dress—ed in sterilized robes and caps, similar tothose worn by surgeons during operations.Even then no visitors are allowed to enterthe straining 0r bottling rooms; these mustbe viewed through glass windows.Many students from Cornell University

and other large agricultural institutionscome to the Brookside Dairy Farm eachyear to work just for board and lodging onaccount of the opportunity of obtaining theexcellent experience to be secured there.

These few facts regarding Allison and hismilk give us another example of the A. andM. man who is overstepping precedent andaccomplishing the utmost in his chosen call—ing. Mr. Allison is not only succeeding withhis dairy, but he is ‘an all-round substantial

citizen whose judgment and influence areoften called into play by his fellow towns-men at Newburgh.

PRESIDENT RIDDICK TO BE‘INAUGURATED IN EARLY SPRING

In response to the petition and urgenceof the Executive Committee of the GeneralAlumni Association, the Board of Trusteeshas voted a liberal appropriation for thepurpose of giving Prof. W. C. Riddick aproper and fitting presidential inauguration.The following men were appointed by the

trustees to compose a faculty committee onarrangements to make and execute plans forthe occasion: Prof. W. A. Withers, chair-man; Professors Newman and Harrelson.Alumni Secretary Buxton White is to serveas secretary to the committee.The date for the inauguration has not

been set at present, but it will probably takeplace during the early part of February.The committee will meet soon to set the exactdate and begin preparations to make this agrand and auspicious event for the Collegeand the State.

This will be the first time that an inaugu-ration has ever been given a president ofA. and M. College, and the committee ex-pects to prepare a ceremony which will dofull. justice to our worthy new president andthe good name of our College. It is plannedto have a gathering of distinguished techni-cal men such as the State has never enter-tained before, making this an occasion ofgreat dignity and a most memorable day inthe history of the institution. There will bea large number of alumni present to payrespects and offer congratulations for thedeserving honor which will be conferred on .our new executive.

PLANNING FOR THE SUMMER SCHOOLThe first meeting of the council for the

Summer School of the A. and M. Collegeto plan for the work during the session nextsummer was held on October 6, 1916.The council consists of W. C. Riddick,

President of the College; W. A. Withers,Director of the Summer School; Prof. D. F.Giles, Superintendent of Education of WakeCounty; Prof. E. M. Harper, Superinten-dent of the Raleigh Graded Schools; Prof.B. W. Kilgore, Director of the AgriculturalExperiment Station and Extension Service;Prof. T. E.

Park, Presi—dent of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce,and Dr. J. Y. Joyner, State Superintendentof Public Instruction. ‘

It was decided to have the session extendfrom June 12 to July 27, 1917. Provisionwill be made for instruction in agriculture,mechanic arts, domestic science, music, lan-guage, mathematics, science, education, etc.,for the teachers of the Elementary, High,and Farm Life Schools of the State. Therewill also be a Demonstration School.

While the school is organized for seriouswork, provision will also be made for visit-ing the various places of interest in Raleigh.Playground werk, story-telling, and otherforms of recreation will be enjoyed by theteachers during their stay.

MEXICO SELF-SUPPORTING

Some noted traveler (was it Baron VonHumboldt?) said that Mexico alone of allthe countries on the face of the globe con-tained or was capable of producing withinits limits everything need by humankind,whether necessaries or luxuries; that a wallcould be built around it completely shuttingoff all intercourse with the outside worldand preventing the importation of any articleof any kind whatsoever, yet every wantcould within a brief period be supplied from

THE RED AND WHITE 7]

within. All that was necessary was to makeuse of the abundant and varied resources athand—more abundant and more varied thanfound in a like area anywhere else in theworld.And this is the absolute truth. There is

nothing in the way of agricultural or mineralresource that is of use to mankind that isnot to be found here or that cannot beproduced, and usually with far less laborand risk than elsewhere. Of agriculturalproducts, Mexico yields in abundance thoseof the tropics, the sub—tropics and the tem-perate zones. Of grain—corn, wheat, barley,oats, rice and other products grow in pro—fusion and of excellent quality when properlyselected and tended. Of vegetables—what isthere that is grown in any other portion ofthe world that is not produced here in pro—fusion? The soil and the climate best adaptedfor each variety can be found in Mexicoand not infrequently within comparativelynarrow limits. Since in a few hours onecan pass from the heat of the tropics tothe region close, to perpetual snow, it followsthat the products peculiar to the variouszones are all to be found here in closeproximity. .Of fruits—the list is as long as that of

the vegetables, and includes those grown onplant, bush, vine, shrub or tree in any andevery country under the sun—north, south,east or west.Of textiles, whether vegetable or animal—

everything used by mankind anywhere in theworld is either produced here or can bewith reasonable effort.

In mineral wealth—it is conceded withoutargument or specialization that no portionof the world equals Mexico in variety-orextent of product.

FROM AN A. AND M. BOYON THE MEXICAN BORDER

EDITOR RED AND WHITE :—As there arequite a number of A. and M. students en-camped with the National Guard on theMexican border, I feel that my fellow—stu-dents would like to know what sort of coun-try we are in. In view of this fact, I am en-

closing a copy of a poem intitled “Hell inTexas,” which I think gives a very gooddescription, with the exception it leaves outthe sandstorms. Please have this poem inthe next edition of THE RED AND WHITE.

Very truly yours,JNo. B. CLUTE, ’19.

HELL IN TEXAS

BY AUTHOR or “TEXAS A PARADISE.”

The devil in hell, we’re told, was chained,And a thousand years he there remained.He neither complained nor did he groan,But determined to start a hell of his own,Where he could torment the souls of menWithout being chained in a prison pen.So he asked the Lord if he had on handAnything left when he made this land.The Lord said, “yes; I had plenty on hand,But I left it down on the Rio Grande;The fact is, Old Boy, the stuff is so poorI don’t think you can use it for hell any

more.”But the devil went down to look at the truck,And said if he took it as a gift he was stuck,For after examining it carefully and well,He concluded this place was too dry for a

hell.So in order to get it off his handThe Lord promised the devil to water the

land,For he had some water, or rather some

dregs—A regular cathartic and smelled like bad

eggs.Hence the trade was closed, the deed was

given,And the Lord went back to his home in

Heaven.The devil said to himself, “I have all that is

neededTo make a good hell,” and hence he pro-

ceeded.

72 THE RED AND'WHITE

He began by putting thorns all over the trees,And mixed up the sand With millions of

fleas;He scattered tarantulas along the roads,Put thorns on the cactus, and horns on the

toads.He lengthened the horns of the Texas steers,And put addition to the rabbits’ ears;He put a little devil in the broncho steed,And poisoned the feet of the centipede.The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion

stings,The mosquito delights you with his buzzing

wings;The sand burs prevail, and so do the ants,And those who sit down need halfsoles on

their pants.The devil then said that throughout the landHe’d arrange to keep up the devil’s own

brand,And all should be Mavericks 'unless they

boreMarks or scratches, of bites and thorns by

the score.The heat in the summer is one hundred and

ten, ‘Too hot for the devil and too hot for men;The wild boar roams through the black

Chaparral;’Tis a hell of a place that he has for a

hell!INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS

GIVEN TO THE SCIENTISTSAt a recent meeting of the American

Chemical Society, Messrs. W. A. Withersand F. E. Carruth, of the ChemistryDivision of the Experiment Station, read apaper embodying the results of some oftheir recent researches respecting the toxicproperties of cottonseed. A somewhat ex-tended notice of it appears in the NewYork Journal of Commerce of September30th.They have also been asked to read a paper

upon the same subject before the Societyfor the Promotion of Agricultural Scienceat its coming meeting in Washington, D. C.,on November 14th. , '

“Oh Tom,” she said on greeting me,In tones of great alarm,

“They said that in the game todayYou’d broken your right arm.”

I calmed her tender, groundless fearsWith vehemence and haste,

And just to prove the arm was sound,Slipped it gently round her waist.

S0, nestling close beside me, sheSmiled sweetly in my face: ,

“That’s great,” said she, “not broken,Nor even out of place.”

V. P. I. HUMILIATES A. AND M.

ELEVEN IN ANNUAL BATTLE

VAN BROCKLIN AND CAPTAIN McDOUGAL STAR

Norfolk, Va., Oct. 28.——A. and M. wasno match for V. P. I. here this afternoon,the Virginia Techs administering a crushingand humiliating defeat to the Carolina Techsby a score of 40 to 0. At no stage of thegame did the West Raleigh Collegians havea chance to score.

V. P. I. scored in all four quarters, andduring the third and fourth, 15 minutes ofplay, they scored almost at will. Theiroffensive was great and A. and M. was unableto penetrate their line at any point. Longsweeping end runs netted A. and M’s ancient

Gardner, Nelson,rival. substantial gains.

CHAS. E. VAN BROCKLIN

and Captain Caffee played a great game forthe winners. Lancaster, at quarter, displayedrare judgment in directing the play. In factthe entire V. P. I. team is a well balancedorganization, one that deserves to win.The contest was hard. A. and M. could not

get started and on defense the line could nothold. As usual, Van Brocklin was there withthe old fight. This player, making five outof every six tackles for A. and M. Capt.McDougall‘ played an exceptionally goodgame and fought a good fight.The game was rough. A number of penal—

ties were inflicted. Rice was forced to retire.Pierson, Homewood and Whitaker were alsoforced to the side lines by injuries.A good crowd was on hand. Practically

the entire V. P. I. student body was hereto cheer their warriors on to victory.V. P. I. POSITION. A. and M.Gregory .......... L. E.. . . . . . . PiersonParrish .......... L. T........

It was a typical Saturday night crowd,only more so. There were all classes. Theregular every nighters, the regular Saturdaynighters, and the regular once-and—awhilerslined up with their pay envelopes in theirjeans alongside that vast and enthusiasticand vociferously cheering crowd of V. P. I.boys who never went to Blacksburg and A.and M. alumni whose knowledge of the Ag-gies’ alma mater is confined to the colorsof the team.“Rah for Blacksburg!” yelled a V. P.

L—ite who is freshman in a shorthand college.“Three cheers for A. and M.! came back

from a tow—headed youth whose nearest ap-proach to Raleigh was a trip to Lake Drum-mond.And then the rival “Collegians” would

get together and argufy until thirst over—came them. Following which they wouldmutually agree to let bygones be bygonesand have one together, to the two grandestold colleges that ever, ever, were! They aregoing to be fast friends in the future andare going to write to each other as soon asthey get back to college. Both of them wouldhave played on their teams this year, butthey were hurt in practice and had to stayout of the game.

Commenting on the Norfolk game the Ra-leigh Times of November 1 has the follow-ing to say: ’Out of the chaos rose one solace, and that

solace was mighty soothing in the desert ofdespair that enveloped the Tar Heels.

was Van Brocklin. V. P. I.—ites torethrough the Techs’ forwards only to be top-pled by him. He made more tackles thanany man on the A. and M. team.Van Brocklin was remembered by the Vir—

ginia people from 1914. Around the hotelsduring the morning Norfolk people were lin-gering, hoping for a peek at the “little red-headed fellow.” The hotel clerk rememberedhim and wanted to know if he would startthe game. Going out to the park a “jitney”driver wanted to know if “Van” was stillwith the Techs. As soon as the North Car-olinians entered the park he was recognizedand spotted out as “the little red—headedfeller that gave Washington and Lee such ajar in 1914.” The population of Norfolkis dotted with North Carolinians in everywalk of life. Their hopes of a Down Homevictory never matured, but in the work ofCharles E. Van Brocklin they found a sooth-ing substitute. He gained the admiration ofhis opponents as well as supporters.

HARRY HARTSELL HAS ACCEPTED

PLACE AS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

COACH BRIT. PATTERSON RESIGNS AS RESULT OF FRICTIONWITH TEAM

Harry Hartsell, former gridiron illumi-nant at A. and M., will fill the place as headcoach to succeed Brit. Patterson, whose resig—nation was tendered Thursday, November 2,following a meeting of the faculty athleticcommittee. Graduate Manager Harrelsonhas been in communication with Hartselland offered him the position of all—year ath—letic director to coach all sports. It isthought that Hartsell will report for dutyimmediately. It will be remembered by thefollowers of athletics at A. and M. that Hart-sell for four years, from 1908 to 1912, madeone of the most brilliant all—round athletesto ever don the Red and White uniform.Since graduation he has had a great dealof athletic experience at baseball with someof the big league teams and as football coach

for unusual preparatory school teams. Hart—sell was manager of the Norfolk (VirginiaLeague) Baseball Club last summer, and hasbeen coaching and teaching at Porter’s Mili—tary Academy this fall. C. J. Hayden, of'Clemson and Idaho, will retain his positionas assistant coach, and John Bray, FrankThompson, and Tal Stafford, well knownnames in Tech football history, will be call-ed on to help in the emergency and to pre-pare the squad for the coming struggles withthe Navy, Georgetown, and Washington andLee. With such a coaching staff, there isevery assurance that the maximum efficiencywill be reached and that the team will showwonderful improvement in both fight andspirit.

Patterson’s resignation, which went into

76

effect immediately, did not come as a de-cided surprise to those who have closelyfollowed the trend of Tech athletics. It hadbeen generally rumored for several daysthat matters between the coach and certainmembers of the team had reached the break-ing point. The first public disturbance issaid to have taken place at Charlotte be—tween the halves of the A. and M.-Davidsongame. Although the Charlotte episode leftsome feeling among certain players, it hadno direct bearing on Patterson’s resignation.

President Riddick, when interviewed, saidthat it was not his opinion that the com-mittee asked Mr. Patterson for his resigna-tion. According to President Riddick it wasmore of an agreement than a demand. Thechairman of the committee asked Mr. Patter-son if he did not think it would be best forhim to resign. The coach replied that hethought it would be best for all parties con-cerned. The actual resignation followed.

President Riddick paid a glowing tributeto Mr, Patterson’s moral character and said:“He has worked very hard. In fact, I thinkharder than any coach we ever had at A.and M. The manner in which he handledthe men on the team was just unfortunate.We in no way wish to question his abilityas a coach or to make any statement thatwould hurt him whatever.”With the exception of saying that he

thought his resignation was “best for all con-cerned,” Patterson would not discuss thematter.No one questioned Patterson’s ability as

a football player. He is a graduate ofWashington and Jefferson and was selectedby Walter Camp for the all American eleven'in 1915. He seemed to have a thoroughknowledge of the gridiron pastime. Abusivelanguage said to have been used betweenhalves caused feeling among the men on theeleven and this seems to have been the mainreason for the resignation. There is nodoubt but that Patterson was greatly aggra-vated by the p00r showing of the team, fromwhich he expected much.

Captain McDougal said that the team asa whole did not demand or ask for Patter—son’s resignation. It seems that several men

THE RED AND WHITE

were dismissed from the training table andthis agitated the already strained circum-stances. McDougal spoke highly of Patter-son, saying that he thought him a sturdy gen-tleman and well qualified for coaching.

In fairness to Patterson, it must be saidthat from the start he had an overwhelmingtask to put out a winning team, lack of ma-terial being the main factor. Against heavyodds he went to work and labored hard andlong with the Tech warriors. His well-meaning is admitted by members of theeleven, President Riddick, and every oneconcerned. It is simply felt that his methodof handling our southern boys was such asto arouse their animosity and that maxi-mum efficiency and harmony did not, there-fore, result.On October 28th, Harvard shattered the

football championship aspirations of Cornellby outplaying and outgeneralling them inevery period and winning 23 to 0. It wasgenerally conceded that Cornell would per-form her beat of last year, but The Red andWhite combination exhibited some erraticfootball and deserved to lose.

According to Manager Lally of CornellUniversity, Charley Barret, the all-Ameri-can quarterback, will not play professionalball in Cleveland this fall, as announced in ‘the West, but will come back to Ithaca thisweek to resume studies in the Universityand aid the coaches in developing The Redand White backfield.Yale University is considering the propo-

sition of building 8,000 extra seats aroundthe parapet of the bowl for the YaleAHarvardgame. Harvard has already sent in a re-quest for 24,000 seats for the game.A freshman football team has been organ-

ized at W. and L. The development of thiseleven anticipates the “one year” rule, whichgoes into effect on September 1, 1917.

. The students of Wake Forest have raised$1,565 of the $2,500 to be raised by thestudent body for the completion and equip—ment of their new athletic field.
