Voyles Making Extra Good
Lawrence Leonard, of the Greensboro Daily News, thinks
that Carl Voyles, new coach of William and Mary, has already
made good and that he wil do even better as the years roll by.
Uelow we quote from Leonard’s column in the News of Thurs
day.
“Carl M. Voyles, Oklahoma A. and M., ’22, is inclined to
believe the College of William and Mary's freshman team of
'33 was a bit overrated
As director of athletics and head coach of football, Mr.
Voyles is in an excellent position to know just how good the
Indian yearlings of last fall really were. They lost only one
game, that being a 20 to 19 setback at the hands of Rich
mond's frosh.
“We had a good freshman team,” Mr. Voyles recalled as
we chatted during dinner in Lexington Tuesday night when
tribute was paid Tom Young’s football team. “I think how
ever," continued the former Duke university assistant, “that
uur freshmen were a little over-publicized.”
You will remember that when Voyles shifted his scene
of operations from Durham to Williamsburg, Va., a year ago
this month that talk was plentiful about William and Mary’s
entrance into big-time football. That they secured a big-time
Lutcr in Voyles is a fact no one can deny. He is one of the
smartest in the land and his first year record at William and
Mary, which never in its wildest dreams envisioned a team
as good as Voyles produced in his first year, has placed him
uppermost in the hearts of Virginians.
“But Carl Voyles will tell you William and Mary isn’t in
big-time football. And when you investigate the scholastic
requirements for entrance you can well understand that the
affrible athletic director is telling you nothing but the truth.
Wffliam and Mary, in quaint and historic Williamsburg, is not
going for athletes unable to pass their work. In the first
puce the college’s reputation is too good to tolerate it and
furthermore a boy who isn't keen minded can’t adapt himself
to Voyles’ ideas of football and how it should be played.”

Hurdle Mills Comes To Town
i* 1 '
On Thursday night of last week, the Hurdle Mills’ bas
ketball teams, boys and girls, came to Roxboro to play the
local high school teams. When they left they had two games
in the bag. Hurdle Mills’ boys won by a score of 18-11. The
girls won by a score of 35-28.
This gpeaks well of the two teams at this school. They
nave no indoor court and have to practice for all games on an
outdoor court. This naturally places the players on the so-call-
when they play a game on an indoor court.
However, the two teams seem to be getting off to a good
start in spite of their handicap.

Titus Does 0. K
Glenn Titus, local high school instructor, must be a good
referee. He has been calling games in Roxboro for two years
or more. In spite of the fact that he teaches at Roxboro you
never hear any complaints from the schools that Roxboro
plays when Titus has the whistle. He calls the game just as
he sees it and he must see it the correct way. Foreign schools
nave praised the work of Titus and that means a lot, especial
ly when these schools lost by a close margin.

Black Widow Bite
Fatal To Winston
Woman’s Daughter
\
■ ■■ re
Raleigh, Jan. 17 A death
from the bite of a black widow
spider, the first in several years,
has been reported to the State
Board of Health. The victim was
Ceretha C. Clark, one month and
twenty-five day old Negro baby,
of Winston-Salem. The infant’s
death occurred in a Winston-Sa
lem hospital.
The clerk in the Vital Statis.
tics Division, where the certifi
cate was received for recording,
said the record would show the
child died from “an attack by a
venomous insect.”
“While the bite of the black
widow spider is not necessarily
fatal, although it is always pain
ful, the importance of avoiding
this venomous insect is emphas
ized by this Negro child’s death,”
said Dr. Carl V. Reynold’s, State
Health Officer.
“I have just consulted Prof.C.

are the totalitarian states and
plants the democracies of thej
world of living things, Dr. F. W. i
Went, eminent plant phcsiologist
of the California Institute of
Technology, declared when he
delivered the annual Sigma Xi
public lecture at the University
of North Carolina Friday.
Dr. Went ,who spoke under the j
auspices of the North Carolina
chapter of the national honorary
society for the promotion of re
search in science, was introduced
by Dr. H. D. Crockford of the
university chemistry department.
In animals, Dr. Went declared,
the coordination of the parts of
the body is determined by the-1
super-regulating center, the
brain. It can best be compared
with the functioning of a totali
tarian state, he said.
“The unity of plant organisms
is insured in a remarkable way,”
Dr. Went said. “One part can
not develop to a greater degree
than the size of other parts per
mits. There is no regimentation,
but mutual interdependence.
This is a very typical example of
the democratic principle.
“The checks and balances,
pride of any democracy, are ob
tained in plants through plant
hormones which can be called
chemical messengers stimulating
growth in - various parts of the
plant as other parts permit.
“As long as the intricate mech
anism of the plant democracy was
unknown, the only means to in
crease the yield of a plant was
by improving the growth condi
tions of the whole plant,” Dr.
Went declared. “But now new
possibilities present themselves.”
