A ccrtain young man about this
campus named Romie Davis, observing
the foundering wits of the editor of
this co'hunn. has come to the rcscue. and
with sucli splendid contributions that
wc are almost ready to reserve a por
tion of tliis column for him in each
issue of the paper.
But lon’t forget that this column is
always open for original contributions
fioni everybody. Here is a chance for
all of our readers to display some of
their wit and originality.

FACTS ABOUT OUR COLLEGE PAPER
The present staff of the Maroon and Gold was elected .\pril r,
1927 and took office immediately. Previous to this time the paper
had been published twice during that year, and very irregularly for
the past several years. Upon close investigation it was seen that a
change in the state of affairs would be necessary if we were to pub
lish a paper.
The staff took up its duties on the assumption that this was a
student publication conducted by students for the benefit of students
and alumni. We assumed that both student body and alumni felt
the need of such a medium of information as a college paper and
would be glad to receive and support our publication. The support
from both students and alumni has so far been disappointing. If we
are to continue the publication of Maroon and Ciold, we must have
a large number of new subscriptions at once. Talk is not cheap for
us. We have to pay the printer.
There is one last chance. Students, alumni, friends, to you we
appeal for your subscription. If you subscribe, you will ha\ e a col
lege paper: if you don't, we must discontinue. Does Maroon and
Gold mean anything to you and your college? If it does, say so
with your check for two dollars for a year’s subscription. If it
doesn’t, or if it does not suit you at present, let us know'. We are
■ not afraid of the truth. We wish to serve you. What do you say,
‘'Forward," or “Halt?"

WAKE FOREST-ELON GAME
On September 29 in this column it was said, “Our team has
se\ en chances to win.'’ This statement was very evident in our
game last Saturday. During the latter part of the game the aerial
attack was working and our “backs” were penetrating our rival’s
line. The ball was carried to the four yard line, with four dowms to
make it in, but unfortunately for us, the time was up. We believe
that had there been one more minute to play, the game would have
been ours. That is the old fight, gang. Keep it up. W'e’re with you
in victory or defeat. You are bound to w'in.

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
We believe in giving credit where credit is due. This seemed
to be the motto of the various sport editors in the “w'rite-u])s'’ of
last week’s game. We wish especially to commend the “News and
Observer" for their account of our game, and others as well. The
articles showed close observation and impartial treatment of the vari
ous teams in action.

PEP MEETINGS
The number who attend “pep” meetings is slov^dy dwindling.
This should not be the case. Our team is improving from day to day.
and our pep meetings should improve likewise. These meetings last
only about fifteen minutes. If all of us go to the meetings and attend
strictly to business for this short time we w'ill have the best organ
ized cheering that w'e have ever had. Come, Freshmen and Upper
classmen, one and all: back our team.

Mrs. Brady, observing Mrs. Brown's
pet cat; “You must like cats as pets.”
Mrs. Brown: “Yes, Jim says that

Anyone that intimately knows Percy
“Pea Vine” Tom Byron Sawyer, knows
that he worships that little growth on
his upper lip more than he does his
best girl. It is said that he spent the
summer in tonso'rial parlors, and bought
all kinds of hair growlers. Eventually
there sprouted a few weaklings that
Tom is exceedingly proud of. For any
one to make a slighting remark about
his “mustache” is a capital offence to
Tom. After the following event took
place, do you wonder that he is com-
sidering having it amputated?
Freshman Hook (knowing it the duty
of all freshmen to be helpful and con
genial): “Mr. Sawyer, 1 believe you
have a dirty spot on your upper lip.”
Tom: “There will be a Buck-Three
meeting to-night, and you had better
be there too.”
—Pur-r-r-r—
By the way, Umpire Teague suggest
ed to our team during the game that
they were wrongly named “Fighting
Christians” because no' honest “Chris
tians” would treat a little team like
Wake Forest’s so doggon rough.
?.?.?—
“Shang” Whitley, our star tackle,
tells us that lie and one Phelps, of tbe
Wake Forest outfit, got right “soei-
able” during the game last Saturday.
We don’t doubt it. “Shang” is right
playful.
—Why shore! —
Leaving all jokes aside, most of those
so'-called “Demon Deacons” were more
than glad to hear that last shrill souinl
the time-keeper’s whistle. “Doodle”;
Daniel was just rarin ’ to spell defeat'
for them.
Which reminds us—
“Doodle” was so excited that while =
at supper that night, he consumed half^
the contents of the gravy bowl before {
ho found out that it wasn’f a bowl ofj
SOUID. I
And that’s not all— I*'
“ShoTty” Branner w'as so elated that
he borrowed Prof. Jolmson’s car to ride
to town to telephone the good newg
to Dr. Harper, and then ran all the way
back before he remembered that he
had driven the car. We can’t imagine
any one being absent-minded to that
extent.

P. S. Rumors from the offices of E.
R Ray & Co. are that campus stock
has fallen to a new low mark. Now is
I the time for all tlii-ifty freshmen to in-

SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES
UNDER THE DIRECTION OF
THE LIFE RECRUIT BAND
Rev. D. P. Barrett Principal Speaker.
His Message Was Very Interesting.
The Sunday evening service of Octo
ber 2, was under the direction of the
Life Recruit Band with Miss Jewel
Truitt, president of the organization,
in charge.
The feature of the service was a talk
from one of our missionaries, Rev. D.
P. Barrett, who was introduced by Dr.
J. 0. Atkinson. Rev. Mr. Barrett held
his audience spell bound in ,telling* tliem
of his owiV experience in his missionary
work in Porto Rico foT the past twenty-
seven years. His story proved very in
teresting and touehetl the hearts of his
hearers and caused them to realize the
great need of missionaries and also the
great work already being done. We
were very glad to hear Rev. Mr. Bar
rett, and hope we shall again have the
opportunity of hearing him tell more of
his experiences in the Catholic country.
Every Sunday finds a still larger
crowd attending the evening services.
We are glad to see this, and hope w^e
shall continue to have such inspiring
programs and such an attentive audi
ence.
