NOTES FROM THE
LOCKER ROOM
In your interest in football, you
often forget the boys who are doinj
the playing. You do not know them
personally, and can identify then
only by their numbers. So, it is with
the idea of helping you to become
better acquainted with “the boys,”
that we bring you those side line
remarks:
Gates Kimball, in spite of all thf>
arguing about his eligibleness Jor
the team, is going to be permitted to
play on the Carolina Vorsitv when it
faces the Deacs next Saturday aft
ernoon.
Leonard Darnell, that sensational
sophomore from the Children’s Home,
in Winston-Salem will see action on
Duke’s team against V. P. I. Satnr-
day night in Greensboro.
More trouble. It is being ques
tioned as to whether or not Archie
Steel from Jackson, Tenn., is going
to be allowed to use his kicking
prowress on the Davidson team this
year. Archie played for an unac
credited .iunior college before enter
ing Davidson this fall.
FALL TENNIS
TOURNAMENT '
UNDERWAY
The fall tennis tournament opens
the end of this week with a doubles
tournament for upper classmen and
a singles tournament for tho fresh
men.
The courts have recently been re
surfaced and are in excellent con
dition.
Josephine Hutchison, tennis man
ager, is anxious for the girls to sign
up early and get off to a good start
in order that the tournament may
be completed before cold weather.
Everyone is urged to participate in
these early fall events and co-oper
ate with the other students in finish
ing them up by the opening of the
hockey season.
Last spring tho tennis tournament
was conducted in a different manner.
Only singles matches were played.
The players were divided into three
groups accord’ng to the ability of
the player. Willena Couch, a member
of the senior class of last year, won
the tennis cup in class A, her fourth
consecutive triumph.
Sallie Emerson is assistant team
manager.
A. A. HOLDS FIRST
MEETING
Last Wednesday, Felicia Martin,
President of the Salem Athletic As
sociation, called the first meeting of
the year of the Athletic Council. The
prime purpose of the meeting was to
discuss several business matters.
Two committees were appointed for
the year; finance committee, Carolyn
Cherry and Jo Hutchison j points
committee, Peggy Bowen and Mary
V. Rogers. An important motion was
passed concerning the renting of the
lockers and dispensing of towels for
showers in the gym. Lockers are
now available at a nominal fee.
POINTERS ON POINTS
Today at lunch a green little fresh
man sat across the table from an
upperclassman wearing a large mono-
grammed “8” on her sweater. The
freshmai^ interested and curious,
about the letter, asked the upper
classman what she had to do to get
the letter.
“Well, you see, Jeanie,” began
the upperclassman, “here at Salem
we make our awards on a point
system. To get an “ S,” such as this
one, you have to make a total of
20 points. But in order to get a
monogram or any other award, you
must either make varsity in one of
the major sports, or excel in one of
the minor sports. Also, just to be
sure that the winner of a letter is
an all-round sport, you must make
points in more than one sport.”
“Yes, I understand that,” said
the freshman, “but how do you get
the points t”
‘ ‘ Oh, there are lots of ways to get
points. For instance, in a major
sport if you make your class team,
you get three points. But if you
are only a substitute you get one
point. Then if your team is the
championship team, you get one more
point, and if you are chosen as a
member of the varsity or the sub
varsity team you get two points or
one point according to which team
you make. Points are given to the
team members of a minor sport —
two points for the regular players,
and one point for the substitutes.
You can also be awarded jwints in
tennis and swimming.”

HOW DUMB ARE YOU?
Here is a brain teaser to amuse
you Salem girls over the week-end.
Don’t begin figuring it out until you
have at least a day’s spare time.
Instructions: Don’t peep at the an
swers until you have made an honest
effort to arrive at a solution; cheek
tho answer and then grade yourself
as follows:
A. If you answered the problem
correctly without referring to the
solution you (1) have heard the prob
lem before; (2) are a liar. As pun
ishment deduct 100 per cent from
your score.
B. If you can’t figure out the
problem then turn to the answer and
read the explanation. If you can
understand this, award yourself 100
per cent; if not, just give yourself
100 per cent anyway, for trying.
Your final score will either be
minus 100 per cent or plus lOO per
cent. In other words you are either
an idiot or a genius; and there’s such
a small difference between the two
that you needn’t worry about it
Problem:
There was a vacancy in the psy
chology department of a large uni
versity, and three well-qualified ap
plicants desired the job. The prsei-
dent of the University decided to
give them the following test in or-
er to determine which one had the
most logical mind, and would be,
therefore, the best choice for the
position. He said, “Now I am going
to place you three men in chairs
facing each other and blindfold you.
Then with one finger I will touch
each of you on the forehead. There
is soot on one of my fingers. I may
put soot on one man’s forehead, I
may put it on two of your foreheads,
or I may put it on all foreheads..
Then I will remove the blindfolds.
If anyone of you sees soot on the
forehead of either one or both the
ther applicants, you are to start
tapping your foot. The one of you
who can determine, through logic
and observation of the other two
men, whether or not you are marked
with soot, and satisfactorily explain
to me the reasoning you employed
to arrive at your conclusion will re
ceive the job.”
Well, the president blindfolded the
three applicants, then put soot on
each of their foreheads (but of
course, none of the men knew this).
After the blindfolds were removed
they lal started tapping their feet
(for, of course, ^ach saw that the
others were marked). No one said
anything for a long time; but finally
one candidate said “I am marked!”
and he proved it to the president’s
satisfaction, getting one job. What
was his reasoning f
