Why Not Let Good
Enough Alone?
Who understands all this talk
about the numerous changes sought
in the rules governing football? And
for what reason?
I can see nothing wrong with the
present regulations. Without a doubt,
this past season has proved the most
successful throughout the country,
yet coaches and writers are consider
ing drastic changes for the coming
year. With this great game chang
ing so much every year the football
fans have to spend half their time
learning the yearly alterations.
In the Southeastern conference
comes the greatest brainstorm so far.
The officials of that section seem to
think that the star footballer should
receive as much consideration when
scholarships are handed out as the
students who get a “free ride” for
their ability in other divisions of
learning, such as debating and jour
nalism. They contend that a young
man journalistically inclined, can
work his way through college by
working on the student publication.
And they see no reason why the
athlete is not using his ability and
working when he has to practice,
play, and keep in perfect physical
condition the majority of the year.
So they have
to allow
athlete the
r ■ W 5 same advantages
2 that are given
= the ordinary stu
%}ri\ Z* 1? 5 dent. The amount
1 §= borrowed or do
nated to the ath
lete would have to be made known,
and in this way it is expected to
keep the gridiron stars from receiv
ing an extra "salary.”
And then our President Graham
of the University of North Carolina
has originated a plan for the South
ern Conference. According to inter
pretations of this plan a boy who
has no money will not be able to use
his ability in sports in aiding him to
gain a higher degree of knowledge.
A loan from an alumnus would be
strictly against the rule to the ath
lete, but would be 0. K. to another
student. In plain English, Mr. Gra
ham is against aiding a college stu
dent merely because he can star at
sports. Duke’s coach, Wallace Wade,
in speaking his opinion of the Gra
ham plan, spoke the truth when he
said it would “make sports a rich
man’s proposition.” It has even been
rumored that Duke would leave the
Southern Conference, should this
plan be accepted.
Changes are also being sought by
the Eastern Association of Football
Coaches, which seem very unneces
sary. First, they want the scoring
rearranged, and have each first down
made count one point. Many teams
in the past season have scored more
first downs than their opponents yet
they lost by large scores- For in
stances, Rice Institute defeated
George Washington University 41-0,
although G. W. made 22 first downs
to Rice’s 6. So, as you see, in many
close contests, the outcome would de
pend on the number of first downs
gathered. Another change desired
by this association, is the settlement
of a tie game. According to them
should the game be tied at the end
of the fourth quarter an additional
five minute period would be played
with the number of points scored in
the extra points determining the
winner.
Major Ralph Sasse, now coaching
football at Mississippi State, wants
the width of the playing field extend
ed from 160 to 200 feet. Major
Sasse seems to think that the boys
are cramped in the present gridiron.

And so, even though most schools
have been getting along fine with the
present rules and regulations, some
want changes. But I can’t see why
we don’t leave good enough alone.

Mrs. L. L. Lewis’ music class has
shown splendid progress in the work
accomplished since the opening of

For three months before Christ

9 hours a week practice. For the
past two weeks they have been hold
ing a scale tournament. This includ

major, minor and chromatic scales—
playing them in various touches and
rhythms, writing the signatures of
all the majors and minors. For this
they won the first of the second
group of emblems—a yellow Maltese

J PICTURING SNOWFLAKES

Snow storm snapshots need a wide
TF YOU want to take pictures these
* winter months that you will be
proud of, watch the snowfalls and
try for a photograph that actually
shows the falling flakes, and again
for one representing the blizzard
type of storm.
You may shoot and shoot into a
swirling snow storm and the flakes
themselveß will not show in the pic
ture, but if you choose the right sort
of snowfall, the proper background
and the right distance, set the focus
right and give the correct exposure,
you will get a picture in which the
curtain of tumbling flakes is vividly
portrayed.
The kind of snow storm for this is
one that occurs when there Is little
wind, and when the temperature
is about at the freezing point. Un
der these conditions the flakes usu
ally come down large and fluffy and
hence individually are more visible.
The proper background Is impor
tant Since snowflakes are white
they will not show very well ex
cept against a dark background; so
take your stance before a dark or
shaded building and not more than
say 50 feet away. If yon are much
farther siway, there will be so many
flakes between the camera and the
building that the picture will show,
too many of them overlapping each
other, as it were. What is needed is
a distinct record of comparatively
a few of the multitude. Now put a
little life interest into the scene.
Get some one in dark clothes Into
Marguerite Hollowell 7 hours a week.
The practical work for this class has
been the playing of 12 hymns. These
have been helpful in sight-reading,
in expression, especially in phrasing.
For this they will receive a red tri
angle.
Eleanor Harrell has the distinction
of passing the same examination
which was given Arlene Jackson and
Mabel Ruth Harrell by the Art Pub
lication Society. Since she is not a
member, her paper was graded by
Mrs. Lewis. She received 93.
Group I hopes to get back to nine
hours now that examinations are
over; and Group II to one hour daily
at least.
A report of Group 111 will follow.
North Carolina’s Poll
Shows Little Change
In New Deal Attitude
Quite significant is the recent Lit
erary Digest poll regarding the atti
tude of the country regarding New
Deal policies is the fact that North
Carolina voters have not changed
much from their attitude since 1934.
In 1934 every North Carolina city ex
cept one sending in a vote had a
majority favoring the New Deal,
Statesville having a tie vote.
The 1935 poll shows that the
same cities still voted by majorities
for the New Deal except Canton.
Hendersonville and Lenoir, who by
small majorities sided against th'
lens opening and a dark background
the picture, preferably of the fem
inine sex. Have her about 15 to 25
feet away and let her be well muf
fled up to give an additional touch
to the wintriness of the scene.
Now for setting the camera. The
lens should be focused not on the
building hut on your human subject.
With box type outfits or other set
focus cameras, Just use the largest
lens opening and click the picture
—you will he sure to get something
interesting, even If the day is only
fairly bright. The chrome type of
film should record the picture quite
satisfactorily, although the super
sensitive will help out a little more
on darker days. For cameras with
double lenses, the aperture should
be no smaller than f.B with a shutter
speed of 1/25 second. If there is a
slight wind this shutter speed may
not entirely “stop” the flakes bat a
very slight movement will tend to
show the flakes all the more defi
nitely. The flakes that show will be
those that fall within a distance of
a few feet from the subject
A regular swirling snow storm
can also be caught and will be an
other type of winter storm picture
that will fairly make you shiver to
look at The picture will not show
individual flakes nor should it if
yon want to produce a realistic pic
ture that looks like a roaring blis
sard. The same exposure sugges
tions as given tor the other type of
picture will do.

poll had a large majority for the
