Notes on the Draft

Tudor Lanius of the English depart
ment of the University, undoubtedly
was the most disappointed man Friday
among those who failed to pass the
physical examination. He was unusu-
ally anxious to be accepted, but was
rejected because of his eyes. Mr.. La
MUS had an application in for the Sec
ond Officers Training Camp.
A negro offered to bet $40 to S. that
he could pass the physical examina-
ton, but when Prosecuting Attorney
W. NJ. Dinwiddie happened to step in
to the room, the negro stated that his
heart was getting awfully weak.
John S. Bicknell, city clerk, sat in
the courtroom quite a while yester-
day, watching the young men report
for examination. He said that he
would never go into the army, if he
were a young man. The navy is his
choice.
The crowd in the courtroom late
yesterday afternoon was the smallest
in three days. The novelty of the ex-
animation became less day by day, and
hardly any were left except the final
ones to report for the physical test.
When Andrew (''Boodler') Brown.
a negro and captain of the Columbia
Tiger football team, was called be-
fore the local exemption board yes
terday afternoon he offered to bet he
would pass the physical examination. |
He made this statement before being
examined, but when the examiners be- |
gan to ask "Boodler" questions, he
said: Doctor, l think my hearts off
little He weighs almost 200 |
pounds. "Boodler" passed, but imme-
diately filed his claim for exemption
on the grounds that his father was
dependent upon him for support.
