THE FLAT HAT Vol.V.

SCHEDULE COMPLETED AND BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT HOLDS ANNUAL CELEBRATION Wtison Of The Indians Gains Center Position Four Monogram Men Returning to Form and Many Visitors Enjoy Hospitality Of German Judge Duke And Hon. Armistead C. Gordon On The Mythicai Eleven The time has now come for the selection of "all"-teams so we pub- lish an All-Eastern Virginia football team chosen from the teams of the E. Va. I. A. A. The plan adopted in making this selection was one proposed by Coach Draper when he was approached in regard to making a selection for the Flat Hat. Instead of this team being the pick of one man, it has been formed after a consideration of fourteen selections made by different men of the Wil- liam and Mary team. We first consider the positions of quarterback and center as these proved easiest of selection. Thur- man of Hampden-Sidney was the unanimous choice for the former place, and our own "Prexie" Wil- son received every vote but his own for the center job. That vote was for Scott of R-M. For the wing positions Scott of Randolph Macon received fourteen votes and his run- ning mate Christian received the next highest number. There were three other men mentioned: Roden of R. C, Amick of H-S., and Green of W. & M. The four middle positions, guards and tackles, seemed to have the greatest number of men of all-star ability, seven men being suggested as possible guards. As some men were voted for as both guard and tackle the sum of the vote received was taken as the determing factor. Coburn, of R.-C, led with 12 votes; Bush, of R.-M., polled 11; Shackel- ford, of H.-S., 9; and Crisp, of H-S.. 7. We place Bush and Shackelford in the tackle positions and choose Coburn and Crisp for our guards. For guard McNeal, of R.-C, re- ceived one more vote than Crisp but the latter had several votes for tackle and in addition won the championship for his team. Early and Wallace of the Indians both re- ceived several votes. In the back field we find Lancaster of R.-M., and Pendleton, of H.-S., the favorites for the half positions. Bu?g, of H.-S., received 12 votes for full and one half-back vote, so he is chosen to fill the other vacancy. Gale, of the locals, had several votes to his credit and Cosby, of R. C, pushed Pendleton hard. We believe this method of choosing an all-star team is the most effective possible, for we have the composite of many minds, and those who have made the selections have played against and with the men chosen. Many New Men Showing up Well Manager Tilley has arranged his schedule with the exception of a definite agreement upon the date of the last game with Hampden-Sid- n^y. The season opens here Mon- day the 13th with the team from Union Theological Seminary of Richmond as the opponents. This game should give a good line on the strength of the varsity, for the preachers' generally turn out a strong quint with several former college stars upon it. Then follows a game with the Howitzers in Rich- mond on the eighteenth and the next game is not played until after the Christmas holidays. Between the holidays and intermediate exami- nations the Richmond Howitzers and Blues are both met on the local floor. On February the third the trip is ! begun when the Richmond Blues are j tackled in Richmond. Virginia Christian College is then met at Lynchburg, and on the night of the 5th the V. M. I. Cadets are played at Lexington. There is some possi- bility of a jump being made to Washington for a game or two but as yet no contest has been sched- uled. Back from the hard trip to Lex- ! ington the championship series is opened here on the ninth with a game with Richmond College. The other teams are played in order and the season is closed by the Hamp- den-Sidney game here. This date has not been decided upon as the Farmville team wishes to play Rich- mond College on the same trip, but it is most probable that the game will be played on the 10th or 11th of March. The schedule as now com- pleted is as follows: Dec. 13-Union .Theol. S*m., at home. Dec. 18—Richmond Howitzers, at Richmond. Jan. 8—Richmond Howitzers, at home. Jan. 15—Richmond Blues, at home. Feb. 3—Richmond Blues, at Rich- mond. Feb. 4—Va. Christian College, at Lynchburg. Feb. 5—V. M. I., at Lexington. (Coetinued on page 3) Club At Annual Holiday Dance Friday evening the Gymnasium was the scene of the annual Thanks- giving German given by the German Club. The hall was decorated in the College colors, and with the throng of dancers afforded a brilliant bcene of gayety and beauty. Even Dame Nature united with the dancers in making the evening the more enjoy- able, for the crisp fall air made the weather all that could be desired. There were visiting girls from all parts of the state, and several parties from Richmond and visiting Alumni helped swell the number of the dancers beyond any previous mid-term dance. Again the music rendered by Hul- cher's orchestra of Norfolk came up to all expectations, and several of the selections were enchored again and again. Two pretty german figures were led cy Mr. Christian with the usual skill and success which characterizes his work as a leader. At about half past eleven refresh- ments were served and after that the dance continued with increasing zest until one o'clock sounded the hour of departure. Among those dancing were: Miss Green, of Norfolk, with Geo. Lane; Miss Martha Spencer with A. P. Tucker; Miss Fletcher, of Richmond, with Thorpe; Miss Bozarth with A. D. Parker; Miss Moomaw, of Dublin with Bob Newton; Miss Harrison with W. C. Ferguson; Miss Atkin- son with Sutherlin, Miss Carrie Cole Lane with Nottingham; Miss Mary C-iry Moncure with Jim Early, Miss Peachy with R. James; Mi>s M. B. Spencer with Henley; Miss Rowe with A.

The exercises were opened by Mr. R. M. Hughes, the president of the Alpha Chapter. Mr. Hughes introduced Armistead C. Gordon, the poet of the occasion, who read one of his poems entitled, "De Profundis." Mr. Hughes then presented to the audience, Judge R. G. W. Duke, Jr. the speaker of the evening. Judge Duke's subject, "The Making of History," was presented in a most interesting way. He prefaced his speech by showing that the ordinary use of the phrase "the making of history" is erroneous as the making of history is the relating of events. According to Judge Duke there are three kinds of history; the artistic, the practical, and the sociological. Artistic history is written to please the fancy; practical history, to ad- vance the writer or his views; and sociological history to give informa- tion about past events in a system- atic and scientific way. Artistic history consists of the myths of by I gone ages. Practical history is ex- emplified by many accounts of the American Civil War, some of which even attempt to darken the fame of ; "the Noblest Nation that ever rose immaculate to fall unstained." Sociological history is exemplified by the work of such master as Gib- bon and Mommsen. Judge Duke closed his speech with an impassioned appeal to the students to seek the truth. After the speech the initiation was held and then followed the re- ception in the library to the members and invited guests of the Phi Beta Kappa. Thus the celebration of the one hundred thirty-ninth anniversary of the founding af the fraterity at William and Mary was brought to a delightful close. Those declared eligible to wear the coveted key were: As members causa honoris, Dr. James Sprunt, of Wilmington, N. C, Howard B. Payne, of New York, and Robert A. Lancaster, of Richmond; as alumni members, Dr. Cary Gray son, of Washington; Colonel Joseph E. Bid- good, John B. Terrell, J. Harper Brent, of Richmond; R. C. Young, of Missouri; A. R. Koontz, of Johns J Hopkins University, Baltimore.

Com. of Student Council.
With the football season now atan end, all eyes are turned towardthe Gymnasium, where every even-ing the candidates for the varsitybasketball team are put through thepreliminary work outs. Coach Dra-per also has many other teams prac-ticing at different hours, from whichmany good players will ultimatelydevelop, but at preseent our cham-pionship hopes are centered in thosefew men who may be seen each ev-ening practicing from five until six.
Four monogram men have return-ed and are out working hard fortheir positions. Captain Jones, for-ward; Gayle, center; and the two"Z" guards, Zehmer and Zion, arethe Varsity material at hand forthe nucleus of the 1915-16 quint.
Of last year's second team thereare Geddy, Lane, Wallace, Robert,son and Williams, while Capt. Spen-cer, Wilson and Adams, of theAcademy team, are now in College.The whole squad is showing up well,and with this experienced materialDr. Draper should have little diffLculty in developing a winning team.
Or. Thomas Jefferson StubbsWilliam and Mary men, from Ac-
comac to Lee, mourn their AlmaMater's loss in the passing of theirbeloved counselor and warm-heartedfriend, Dr. Thomas Jefferson Stubbs.
Purity of heart and rectitude of
AcademyThe Academy basketball team has
been practicing for the last week,but as was the case last year theteam is again handicapped by hav-ing to practice at night after ten jo'clock. Of last year's team Capt.Somers, Ellis, Tomlinson and Murphyare back. Several of the new menhave all the qualifications of goodplayers, and under the skillful coach-ing of Prof. Hubbard should be ableto give a good account of themselvesbefore the season is over.
Manager Ellis has scheduled tengames, the first of which will be
played here on Friday the tenth.The following is the schedule:
Dec. 10—Portsmouth High, athome.
Dec. 17—St. Paul Academy, athome.

peppery football playing Wednesdayafternoon when the Academy elevenengaged the Academy alumni, nowin college, for a pigskin contest.Both teams showed unusual footbalaggressiveness and the scoreless tieis an indication of the bitterness oithe battle.
Lohr's ground-gaining was thefeature of the alumni's playing,while the preps, worked the forwarcpass successfully on several oc-cassions. "Monk" Elllis got awayfor several pretty runs, eluding thaalumni tackiers for material gains.The alumni came dangerously nearscoring in the third quarter whenthey had the ball on the 11 yard linebut failed to make first down.
