THE CORPS OF CADETS VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, MONDAY, NOV. 19, 1928 No. 9 Regimental Parade to Be Held Every Wednesday Variety of Formations This Year Will Break Monotony of Old Parade. According to word received from the commandant, the Corps will throughout the year go through quite a variety of formations which will take the place of the old battalion parades. On every Wednesday aft-ernoon the Corps will form for regi-mental parade. On the first Satur-day in every month the Corps will form for garrison review, the infan-try battalion being marched upon the hill after the regular S. E. I. in front of barracks. On other Saturdays the Corps will now and then go through the Pershing Formation in addition to the regular Saturday evening re-view and inspection. Although the idea of any change meets at first with disapproval in barracks, the wisdom of the new system when it is worked out can-not be denied. In the past, cadets have graduated here with a detailed knowledge of only one dress forma-tion, battalion parade. Under the new system, men graduating here should have a thorough knowledge of all dress formations in the regular army and should find nothing in that line with which they are not well ac-quainted. It may be pointed out like-wise that a variety of formations will do a great deal toward reliev-ing the monotony of the regular parades which will be held on Mon-days, Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fri-days, Library Staff Has New Edition CADETS LOSE TO KENTUCKY AFTER BRILLIANT RALLY Wildcats Pile Up Total of 18 Points Which Cadets Are Not Able To Overcome.

Baby Squadron Defeats Goblets In Thrilling Battle by Score 12-0 SMOOTH RAT MACHINE OUTPLAYS H E A V Y TECH TEAM IN HARD CLASH Miss Margaret Jones Comes Here Highly Recommended. It is with great pleasure that we introduce to the faculty and cadets the new member of our library staff, Miss Margaret Jones, of Staunton, Virginia. She is a graduate of the Carnegie Library Shool of Atlanta, Georgia, and has had varied exper-ience in library work as catalogusr at the Virginia State Library in Richmond, assistant librarian of the Federal Reserve Bank, Richmond, then as head of extension work for the Virginia State Library. Before coming to us she organized and open-ed the new public library in Staun-ton, Virginia. She will be our as-sistant and cataloguer. Cadets Attend Tea Dance Playing thvir be t game of the season the Baby S^uadnm defeated the heavy V. P. I. Gobblets 12-0 last Friday on Alumni Field. The Rats completely outclass?d the invaders both defensively and effensively, and on only one occasion was the V. M. I. goal line seriously threatened. Rawson got off two beautiful punts in the third quarter that paved the vay for the Rats' second touch-down. One was good f>r 56 yards and th? other for 49. The line open-ed up l . u ^ holes, and the backfield was not slow in taking advantage of these. V. M. I. made no substitutions. The varsity has done this, but this is the first time thai the Rat team line for first down. Brown made 2 has been able to finish a gwme with ; the use of only eleven players, i After receiving the opening kick-off the Rats started off with a rush, gaining 15 yards in four plays. This ! advance was halted when they were [penalized a like distance for holding. After an exchange of punts the Rats ; started a second offense that netted ! 26 yards before they wero forced to punt. j Their third march began when Brown intercepted a V. P. I. pass on ; Tech's 47 yard line. Rawson and | Wright made 11 yards through the through the line and on the next Cor*inujd on Pau* Sit.| P. P. P'S RUN ROUGH SHOD OVER CHARLOTTESVILLE Were Guests of Southern Semi-nary Last Monday. On the afternoon of November 11, several Cadets journeyed over the "scenic route" to Buena Vista for tht purpose of taking advantage of the kind invitation extended by Mrs. Robey to an afternoon dance at Southern Seminary. After arriving in various conveyances and states of expectancy the Keydets were ushered into the spacious colonial mansion where they received a charming greeting from their hostess and a re' ception committee composed of a number of the talented damsels of that famous old institution. The at-mosphere was unique—and great things were expected, for there on the mantle piece stood two "loving" (Continued I'vul Mess Hall Waiters Add Another Victory To Their Undefeated Record. DR. DENNY DECLINES W. AND L. PRESIDENCY Decides To Remain At Alabama. Engineering Students to j Hear Prominent Lecturers i The editor of the Cadet has re-! ceived, through Colonel J. A. Ander-i son, the following letter from Mr. J. Ambler Johnston, Chairman of the Lecture Committee, Virginia Section, of the American Society of Mechani-cal Engineers, with reference to a se-ries of lectures to be given at the four state institutions of engineering next spring. These lectures will be made by engineers who are outstand-ing in each branch of the science and should prove exceedingly benefic-ial to the local chapters. The chap-ter at Washington and Lee Univer-sity will combine with that of V. M. I. in this work, half of the lectures being at each school. Mr. Johnston is well known to members of the faculty here and to many members of the corps as one of the architects associated with Mr. Garbeal in constructing many build-ings on the post. November 15, 1928. Editor of the Cadet: Dear Sir: It is perfectly amazing to look over the lists of the alumni of engi-neering and chemical graduates of this state's supported schools and see how many now occupy positions of responsibility in the industrial life of other states. For years Virginia has been thus training its citizens and sending them abroad to build up other states. This has been partly because Virginia did not offer industrial opportunities to these graduates, and each graduate was certainly at liberty to select the field which to him looked brightest. A change has, however, come over Virginia and we have an industrial The P. P. P.'s last Monday play-ed n terrific game of gootball to win from the Charlottesville JAC's on the lower field here by a score of 19-6. Early in the first quarter the Charlottesville team drew first blood when on a baffling "hidden-ball" play they completely bewildered the Lexington team and carried the oval across the goal line. In the mad Dr. Denny, President of the Uni-jversity of Alabama, who was recent-ly invited to succeed Dr. Henry Louis Smith as president of Wash-ington and Lee University, has grac-jiously declined to accept the invita-jtion.

S. C. E. HOLDS MOST INTERESTING MEETING CAPTAIN SIMPSON ARRIVES TO TAKE UP DUTIES Several Men Make Speeches. The most interesting program given this year by the A. S. C. E. was at the last meeting, Nov. 16. The first speaker, C. Nelson, told of the 100th anniversary of the Brit-ish S. C. E. This gave a vivid ac-count of how the foreign engineers look on problems in comparison to the attitude of the American engineers. W. J. Hull spoke on the construc-t Continued on Pane Big'i't Captain J. P. Simpson, '28, arrived ihere last Wednesday to take up his duties as assistant in the Mathemat-ics department. Captain Simpson takes the place of Capt. Littleton Roberts who left to take a position with the National Carbon Co., in Cleveland, Ohio. Captain Simpson was Cadet Cap-tain and Quartermaster here last year, and was also manager of the boxing team and captain of the rid-ing team. Captain Simpson will be assigned to duty as a tactical offi-cer. (Continued on Paso Two) Forum Glub Holds Regular Meeting Official Program Is Carried Over. Last Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock the "Forum Club" held its regular weekly meeting in Alumni Hall. Aft-er the secretary's report the motion was carried to defer the official pro-gram due to the short period and con-sidering the thoughtful preparation by the members in the program. A general discussion of the type of ma-terial to be included in the weekly meetings was undertaken by the members present. Current topics dealing with national and interna-tional affairs were most favored and some opposition to formal debate was axpressed. The appointment of two committees was next in order. Well-ford, Grimes, and Gray were assign-ed the duty of conducting an organ-ized advertising campaign bringing the activities of the Club more be-fore the public eye. Hunter, Daniels, and Witman make up the group Unable to overcome the 18 point lead which their opponents received in the first half the Flying Squadron last Saturday dropped a game to the University of Kentucky by a final score of 18-6. The score is not rep-resentative of the battle at all, how-ever, for the Cadets piled up a total of seventeen first downs to eleven for their opponents. It was a mere irony of fate that the Cadets scored no more than one touchdown in their brilliant rally in the last half. The first two quarters belonged to the Wildcats, for they rushed time land again through the V. M. I. line for gains which took the ball down the field, and across the goal line three times. Outweighed about six-teen pounds to the man, the Cadets were unable to stop the mighty on-rush while on the defense. On the offense, they could not gain through the heavy Kentucky line and as the first half ended they had made only two first downs. The second half, however, unques-tionably belonged to the Cadets, and the story of their rally reads like a romance. Taking the offensive they completely bewildered their oppon-ents by a passing attack which car-ried them more than once down the field toward the Wildcats' goal. In the fourth period, Dunn carried the ball through center for four yards and a touchdown after it had been ad-vanced that far on passes. If ever a team proved worthy of the name "Flying Squadron" the team that completed these passes did, and given more time, the result of the game would have been a different story. In the third quarter the Cadets made five first downs, and in the fourth, j ten. | The game in detail: First Quarter. Kentucky won the toss and Barnes kicked off to Covington, who receiv-ed on Kentucky's 11 yard line and re-turned to the Cats' 36 yard line. Covington hit left tackle for five yards. Covington made two yards at right tackle. Forquer got off a bad punt of twenty-four yards to V. M. I.'s 35 yard line. Spicer threw Hawkins for a two-yard loss at left end. Hawkins lost a yard at right end. McCray punted to Covington on Kentucky's 25 yard (Continued on page (our.)

His ability as a player and his leadership qualities were duly recognized when his teammates conferred on him this coveted honor. Marklis, before coming to V. M. I., played right guard at Hyde Park High School, Boston, Mass. During his senior year he was picked on the Interscholastic team of the Boston district. As right guard of the Rat team this year he has been one of the most outstanding players.
