The plan is to divide them into two squads, letting part lead the cheering from the front of the stands, while the other group mingles with the crowd to pep them up. These students will undergo their preliminary training in this way and at the end of the year will be voted on by the student body to select the leaders for next year. It is thought that this plan will ob viate any difficulties that might arise in the selection of a cheerleader. Those chosen at the meeting yester day are: Charles Owvens, John Camp bell, Sarah Harrison, Virginia Stod; dard, Bess Dowling, Billy Spivey, and Carter Courter. They will lead the cheers at the next freshman game instead of the varsity cheerleaders.

Three Men Harken Back To Childhood Treacherous Trio Tire Of Trip rin, AndM Retire Var Hastily Tripping gaily over the green in front of the staid law building last Friday morning were three of the Dean's most intellectual budding bar risters, completely engrossed in a friendly game of hide-and-go-seek. That Treacherous Trio ("Spot," Ged ney and the Weasel) took it upon themselves to inaugurate once more on the campus that famous pastime of those halycon days when Spot was hardly a point and the Weasel a mere cub in his lair. Having been elected "It" as usual, it fell to the Weasel's lot for him to hide his eyes while the other two stole stealthily around the campus and de fied detection. With unerring instinct the ungaily Weasel tracked Gedney to a clump of bushes and twith a shout of "I spy Gedney" the two dashed for the "base," nothing less than the steps of Petigru being their goal. But their span of years had taken an inevitable toll; the three playmates reached the steps panting like Baer must have after Louis had worked him over. Spot immediately devised a less-fatigueing manner of entertain ment, albeit not nearly so pleasing to the onlookers. After a brief consul tation the three lifted their voices in unison, rendering that old favorite "We won't go home until morning." As the last note was being painfully pitched the steady tenor of the re doubtable Spot faltered, grew very faint, and finally stopped short. Ged ney and the Weasel, who had been putting their all into the song, lowered their eyes from the heavens to see 'What had happened. They saw plenty.

Early, executive secretary. It is im portant that the orders with remit tances reach the athletic office at an early date so that prompt and effi cient service can be given. The date of the game is Thursday, October 24th, but already many orders have been re ceived and any delay may cause a last minute rush. Section No. 7 at the stadium has been reserved through Tuesday, Oc tober 22, for all members of the Alum ni Association for the fiscal year 1935 1936.

Students are urged not to wait until the last day to take these pictures; there is always a mad scramble to get them done in the last few minutes, and the results are inevitably bad. If the pic tures are taken early, the proofs can be checked and taken again if they are not satisfactory. Students who have not paid for their annuals can do so at Toal's Studio. The price is $3.50 for the book and picture.4 p Beat Three Ba In Gala He Boosts CI of ar S. ce w ui w of w H w William H.
