Good Programs of Popular
and Jazz Number*
Saturday night in the auditorium,
the Wake Forest Glee Club and
Orchestra gave a program of popular
and jazz numbers that was enjoyed
by the audience.
Most of the numbers were good,
particularly the campus songs and
the group of selected songs. The
numerous funny stories they told
were interesting and amusing be-cause
of the entertaining manner in
which they were told.
The saxophone solo by Mr. Morton
and the short act, by Mr. Savage and
Mr. Skinner, between the parts of
the programs were good.

WAR PREVENTION
SUBJECT OF TALK
S. E. Nicholson Says Civilization
Must Destroy War or Bo
Destroyed by It
S. Edgar Nicholson, chairman of
the National Committee for the Pre-vention
of War, spoke to the stu-dents
at chapel last Monday.
"One of the outstanding prob-lems
of today," Dr. Nicholson began,
"is that of war and its prevention.
While this is no new subject, it would
be well for students to consider the
substitution of another method for
settling of differences among nations
besides war."
Dr. Nicholson spoke of the time
that Senator Underwood, of Ala-bama,
stated in a speech that he be-lieved
that the time had come for
Christian ideals to rule the world.
Another speaker on this occasion
ridiculed this idea and stated that
war had always been the method for
settling disputes, and always would
be.
"It is the opinion of Fred B.
Smith," said Mr. Nicholson, "that the
world is headed for another war. I
agree with Mr. Smith that such is so
unless we find another method of
settling disputes."
At the close of the world war sen-timent
changed, especially among the
young people, who did not like war,
and who would have nothing to do
with it But, with the occupation of
the Ruhr, the old suspicion arose,
In the most exciting game of the
season the juniors and seniors fought
to a 3-3 tie in a battle for the col-lege
hockey championship honors on
Wednesday afternoon. The final
game in which another effort to de-termine
the inter-class champions
will be played between the two teams
sometime before the holidays.
With all the excitement and hard
playing the game was perhaps the
best exhibition of this sport ever
seen on the campus. The individual
playing at times reached the point of
brilliance, and the team work on both
sides was very marked.
Mrs. Bartlett, hockey coach of
Winthrop who was one of the ref-erees
of the game pronounced it as
one of. the best exhibitions of scien-tific
hockey that she had seen in this
country.
The teams were well matched, the
brilliant spurts of fine playing ex-hibited
by the juniors being offset
by the consistently good work of the
seniors. Playing a steady game, the
seniors kept the ball in their oppon-ents'
territory a great part of the
time but seemed unable to break
through the defense for a goal at the
crucial moments. The juniors made
good their opportunities at scoring
and their offense, while not threat-ening,
very often threatened in
earnest.
The juniors have a fast offense,
especially in Henry and Cate. Both
were conspicuous in the swift drives
down the field with excellent pass
work between the two. There was
little brilliant playing on the defense
though it held well under the attacks
of the fourth year team. Hunter,
going in as substitute when Temple-ton,
left wing, was disabled, did ex-cellent
work, making one of the
juniors' scores within the first three
minutes after she entered the game.
The playing of the seniors was
characterized by steady, uniformly
good work, especially by the defense.
Biggs, left inner, was conspicuous by
her work on the forward line. Her
dribbling, passing, and shooting were
all excellent. To her probably goes
the honor of being the best individual
player for the seniors.
In the defense Emily Weddington
played a star game, tackling and
fielding well.
The first score was made by the
juniors early in the first period after
a hard fight around the goal. This
was shot by Henry, right inner.
The seniors next drew blood by a
tieing score. Their goal was shot or
rather pushed in by Davis, center
forward, and Biggs, left inner. The
second tally of the seniors came dur-ing
the half, Biggs shooting after
a scramble about the goal.
The fourth year men continued
their scoring in the second half when
soon after the beginning Biggs again
hit the ball for a goal.
The junior* began their rally dur-ing
the Utter part of the half soon
after the entrance of Hunter into the
game in place of Templeton. She
stepped into the breach with a venge-ance
and shot a goal within the first
three minutes after her entrance.
Another goal, shot by Emily Cate,
followed this soon afterwards.
With the score tied and about
three minutes to go both teams tight-ened
up for a tense period of play,
the ball went up and down the field,

JUNIORS AND SENIORS SELECTED TO
PLACES ON VARSITY HOCKEY TEAM
Class Basket Ball to
Take On New Interest
(Continued on Page 2)
Practices for class basketball will
begin Monday, December 8 in the
outdoor gymnasium. There will be
only one practice a week for each
class until the new gymnasium is
finished. Practices will be from five-ten
to six on the following days:
Sophomores, Friday; Juniors, Wed-nesday;
Seniors, Thursday; Fresh-men,
Monday (subject to change).
Arrangements for the Special's team
have not yet been made. Every class
is to have two or three teams. The
tournaments is to be arranged so that
each team will play all of the others.
Members of the junior and senior
teams have been honored by places
on the honorary varsity team that
has recently been selected by a com-mittee
composed of representatives
of all the classes with Miss Burr,
hockey coach, as an advisory mem-ber.
Players on all four class teams
were considered in the selecting of
the varsity but only the two upper
classes are represented in the team
as finally chosen.
For two positions the committee
was unable to decide between two
players; so both were given places
on the team.
Evelyn Pope, '25, holds the place
of goalkeeper on the team. Pope
has been a consistently good goal for
the past three years. Any opponent
will vouch that she is a hard one to
pass for a score.
As left fullback, Eunice Williams,
'25, was given a place on the team.
Williams is probably the best indi-vidual
hockey player on the campus,
and works excellently in combina-tion
with members of her team. It's
a real treat to see the use that she
can make of a hockey stick. Her
ability at tackling, passing, and field-ing
are all unusually well developed.
Eleanor Kornegay, '25, as right
fullback makes an excellent team-mate
for Williams on the varsity just
as she has for the last three years
on the Blue and White Team. She
has all the makings of a good full-back
in her ability at tackling and
passing.
Elizabeth Young, '26, was also
selected to the position of right full-back.
Young has speed and dash
and is very hard to pass on the field.
She is good at tackling and fielding.
Hilda Weil, '26, is right halfback
on the varsity. She has greatly im-proved
her game this year and is
now an excellent halfback. She is
sure and steady in her tackling and
combines well with both her defense
and forward line.
Gwendolyn Hampton, '26, holds
THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS
TO BE PRESENTED SOON
"Will-o'-th.-Wisp," "Suppressed De-sires,"
and "The Knave of
Hearts" to bo Givon Doc 16
the position of center halfback on the
varsity, gaining the place by virtue
of a stick-to-it-iveness in playing and
a skill in the use of her stick and at
tackling that makes her a dangerous
opponent.
Frances Brandis, '25, makes a val-uable
left halfback, playing a steady
game that is combined with a never-give-
up spirit.
Julia Franck, '25, is an excellent
right wing. She is fast in taking
the ball up the field, and is good in
tackling back for a lost ball.
Johnsie Henry, '26, playing at
right inside is the fastest member of
any team up here. Since her fresh-man
year she has been known to the
student body as a "speed demon"
able to show her heels to any com-petitor.
She does not fail to make
use of this gift on the hockey field,
reminding one of a flash as she
streaks down the field with or after
the ball. Her work at inside would
do credit to any team.
Sam Davis, '25, holds the place of
center forward. Davis' ability as a
hockey player has been an outstand-ing
feature of her athletic career at
the college. As captain of her team
she has always put up a stiff fight
and made herself a dangerous foe for
all opponents. She is also captain
of the varsity team.
Emily Cate, '26, plays left inside
for the varsity. Cate has for three
years made an excellent running
mate for Henry. She is not only
swift but also knows the art of pass-ing,
dodging, and shooting.
Irma Herring, '25, and Edith Tem-pleton,
'26, both have places at left
wing on the varsity. This is Her-ring's
first year at wing, and her first
year at playing since her freshman
year, and little need be said of a
player who can qualify for varsity
under these circumstances. Temple-ton
is a valuable team member as a
fast, hard plyaing wing who combines
well with other members of her team.
The Dramatic Association will pre-sent
its second program of the year
on the night of December 16 when
a bill of three one-act plays will be
given in the college auditorium. The
plays are: "The Will-o'-the-Wisp,"
by Doris Halman; "Suppressed De-sires,"
by George Cram Cook and
Susan Glaspell; and "The Knave of
Hearts," by Louise Saunders.
"The Will-o'-the-Wisp" is the play
which has been selected by the Dram-atic
Association to be played in the
national Cumnock Cup prize contest
to be held at Northwestern Univer-sity
late in December. The cast for
this play has been selected with care
and is now rehearsing daily, under
the direction of Mr. Taylor, as coach.
The theme of the play centers
about the story of the worshipful and
unselfish love of a waif for a poet
and her almost hypnotic influence
over the wife of the poet.
The parts will be taken by Helen
Hall, as the Will-o'-the-Wisp; Mary
Morris, as an old woman; Mary John-ston,
as the poet's wife; and Dorothy
McNair, as Nora, the maid.
"Suppressed Desires" is a psycho-analytical
comedy of the effect upon
a wife of the psycho-analysis fad. The
comedy of the play comes in her
reaction to the taking up of the fad
by her husband and her sister and
the subsequent discovery of their
'suppressed desires" for each other.
The cast for this play consists of:
Sarah Hunt, as Henrietta Brewster;
Ellen Stone, as Stephen Brewster;
and Mary Alice Roberson, as Mabel,
Henrietta's sister.
The third play of the program is
a delightfully clever comedy, "The
Knave of Hearts." In it one gets
the knave's side of the story of the
old rhyme of the stealing of the
tarts, made by the Queen of Hearts,
by the Knave.
The play is cubistic in effect, and
the players will have the manner of

FAVORED MUSICIAN GIVES
PIANO RECITAL ON FRIDAY
(Continued on Pag* Four)
One of the most delightful of this
year's chapel programs was given
Friday, November 28, by Miss Elean-or
Furminger, pianist The students
the faculty crowded the college audi-torium,
eager to hear the favored
musician, who, as usual, exceeded
their highest expectations.
It was with a rare mastery of the
technique and interpretation that the
artists played each number, and for
the brief musical hour she held the
audience spell bound. Despite the
more brilliant numbers, the little
Londerry Air made the strongest ap-peal
to the listeners, while the two
Palgren numbers seemed to perfectly
express the temperament of the
pianist.
The artistic program was as fol-lows:
Nocturne: DeBussy.

Gavotte; Glazounow.

"Gentlemen of the jury," said a
thundering barrister, in a suit about
a lot of hogs, "there were just 86
hogs in that drove; please to re-mind
that fact—86 hogs—just ex-actly
three times as many as there
are in the jury-box."
That counsel did not win his case.
On Monday night, Cecil Roberts,
English novelist, poet, and editor,
spoke in the auditorium on "The
Making of a Novel." The general
interest of the college was shown in
the large number of faculty and stu-dents
who attended. Having been
prepared by lists of his accomplish-ments
and the enthusiastic reports
of those who had heard him, the audi-ence
expected an unusual treat, and
it was not disappointed. His de-lightful
manner and charmingly Eng-lish
speech added much to the en-joyment
of the lecture, which was
highly inspirational in itself.
With a humor which an American
audience is certainly capable of ap-preciating,
he undertook to prove, in
a few introductory remarks that the
Englishman has a sense of humor.
The American only fails, he thinks,
to appreciate the species of English
humor, and the Englishman is often
at a loss to catch the American
brand.
In beginning his lecture on "The
Making of a Novel,' he remarked,
"Everybody wants to write a novel.
Everyone is either going to write a
novel, is writing one or has written
one." The trouble is, he says, that,
after having written one novel, most
people have not the discretion to
stop, but seem to consider each novel
as a sort of stimulus to another. The
habit is like drug taking. The writ-ing
of a novel should be checked or
stopped whenever possible.
The novel should be very intimate
to the authors taste, Mr. Roberts
says. "The author must have a heart
that can feel and a brain that can
execute." Hwever, he strongly af-firms
that the novelist, to be great,
must write out of bis personal feel-ings,
impersonally. The impersonal
novelist will always be superior to
the propagandist. He paid tributes
to Joseph Conrad and Newt Hampson
as men of the former type. Many
modern writers, he thinks, depend
too much on the close personal
touch between author and readers.
They do not consider novels as epics,
and their work is, accordnigly,
choppy and fragmentary.
"Great writers," says Mr. Roberts,
"are inspired to write." He consid-ers
concentration as the basis of
writing or of any other creative
work. Great work which "catches
immortality in a radiance of words"
is executed only through intense con-centration.
By concentration, he went on to
say, man puts himself in connection
with the great cosmic intelligence,
"which we all conceive as having
totality of experience, fullness of
vision, and vastness of intellect."
Thus men draw a permanent legacy
from concentration, which is being
in touch with the infinite.
He took up briefly the source of
the material for writing. First hand
information is, of course, preferable,
but he brought out the fact that it is
perfectly possible for a person to
write about something that he has
not seen. We must have a good hack-ground
of reading on the subject,
use concentration and imagination,
and above all, he should submit the
finished product to an authority on
