THE RUTHERFORD RECTANGLE
EDITOR WAS ELECTED
FOR THE YEAR BOOK
For several years there has
been considerable interest mani
fest in the publication of a Ruth
erford College Annual. This year
has seen even greater interest,
and determination to carry out this
idea has culminated in the organ
ization and election of officers.
iSince this is a new undertaking,
a fellow with some ability is need
ed to pilot the thing thru. Edwin
B. Hunt, who has already made a
record for himself at Rutherford,
was signally honored by being
chosen editor-in-chief of the annu
al. Hunt is just a new fellow at
Rutherford but he has proved his
dependability. He is very much
concerned over the annual and if
he is given the proper cooperatoin
and support the enterprise will
undoubtedly be a success. W. R.
Ormond is business manager, and
is a man who can do things. With
such a splendid combination at the
head of the Annual there is no rea
son why, with the proper coopera
tion and encouragement, it should
not go over in creditable style.
Perhaps a fuller announcement will
bo made later when plans have
been further formulated.
who wish to try out must prepare
their speeches, and the teams are
chosen in preliminary debate. Each
contender trying out has an equal
chance, and it is considered quite
an honor to be a member of the
team.
The teams will be coached this
year by Professors Holt and No
lan, fit is understood. Both are
good coaches, and it is expected
that Rutherford will make a good
showing.

for two consecutive first and tens
then passes to Ward who scoi'es
another touchdown. Rutherford
again fails to get the etxra point
making the score 12-0.
Ramblers kicked to Mars Hill
but met with a new difficulty, for
the Blue Jackets opened up a
fierce aerial attack carrying the
ball from their 30 yard line over
to Rutherford’s goal line by five
consecutive passes, making their
socre 12 to 6.
During the latter half of the
game Mars Hill continued to with
draw to the aerial attack threaten
ing Rutherford many , times- but
never scoring again during the,
game, while Ru/therford ontinued
to make good gains with Smith
carrying the ball over and Baker
making good gains around end.
Smith also kicked his extra point.
Payne after threatening their
goal in the last few minutes of
play crosses the goal line, making
(the csore 35-6.
The latter half of the game both
teams resorted to the aerial attack
and punting a great deal, with
Quick of Rutherford College mak
ing the outstanding punt of the
evening.

Rutherford College’s illustrious
athletic ocach and esteemed in
structor, Lucius Stacy Weaver,
was horn in the small town of Le
noir at the time his father was
President of Davenport College.
After living in Lenoir a few years,
his father moved to Virginia with
the aim of becoming President of
Emory and Henry College. While
there his ambitious son went to
school, completing high school and
two years of college Vvfork. After
finishing his junior college work,
and his father having joined , the
Western North Carolina Confer
ence and going to Monroe, Stacy
taught school for awhile in a near
by town. Having done the requir
ed amount of teaching, Stacy went
to Trinity College and in 1924
graduated with the highest hon
ors. He not only did excellent
scholastic work, but made a great
success in athletics. While at
Trinity he was a member of the
baseball team which won the state
championship for that particular
year.
Immediately after his gradua
tion at the age of twenty, he came
to Rutherford College and began
teaching Latin and German, and
also took charge of athletics.
During the last four years Pro
fessor Weaver has made great
success both in teaching and coach
ing athletics. Professor Weaver
has done much to increase the
popularity and the standards of
the school by making athletics
successful at Rutherford.

FUND FROM GASOLINE
TAX IS INCREASING
Th State of North Carolina will
have more than $1,000,000 more
for highway purposes in 1928 than
it did in 1927, if automobile own
ers use as much gasoline in the
last six months of the year as they
did in the first six.
Statistics just made public at
Raleigh show that in the period
from January 1 to June 30, inclu
sive, the consumption of gasoline
in this state was 14,000,000 gal
lons in excess of the consumption
for the first half year of 1927.
With a tax of four cents on each
gallon, the increased revenue de
rived therefrom stands at $560,-
000 for the period, which is at the
rate of $1,120,000 a year.

INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATES
In the early spring every year
inter-collegiate debates are held
between Rutherford and other
schools of its rating. There are
usually three colleges debated
against, and they are known as the
“Inter - Collegaite Triangular De
bates.” , In the past few years the
teams have made fairly good rec
ords. Last year the teams divid
ed honors with their opponents.
They debated against Appalachian
State Normal, Wingate, and Wea
ver, which are likely to be the
schools debated against again this
year.
This year the chances for put
ting out victorious teams are very
good. Besides imany new experi
enced debaters Hhat are going to
take an active part in debating this
year, Rutherford has three of the
four men who debated in the Inter-
Collegiate debates last year. These
have all stated their intention of
trying out again. If they
are able to hold the paces they
held last year, they will naturally
be better; and if they are not
able to hold, it, then the team will
be exceedingly strong.
Two teams are chosen. All men
