THE VOL. V VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1911 NO. 7 BOMB CONTRACT YET IN EMBRYO Notwithatandinf? the fact that an unusually large number of bidders have appeared with a large and at-t r a c t i v e number of propositions for the 1912 Bomb no decision has as yet been reached by the editors. Prenent indications, however point to a speedy decision in this regard. Work has been progressing rapidly, never-theless in the preparation of subject m a t t e r for the book, su that no time will be lost a f t e r the m a t t e r of the contract has been settled s a t i s f a c t o - r i l y . Though the 1911 Bomb was s t r i c t l y up to standard in every re-spect, it is the intention of the pres ent ftaff to get out an even better book..and to this end nothing will be alloooed to stand in the way. As usual, finances are by no means the least important factor in g e t t i n g out t h e book, not only in figuring the final coat, but in meeting the average running expenses, and everyone (houlci take this into consideration in p a j i n g up on the book. The editor does not contemplate any extensive innovations in tne gen-eral makeup of the annual; but, with the excellent material availa-ble in barrack, special stress will be laid upon the illustrationf-. Among t h o f e who have signified t h e i r inten-tion of c o n t r i b u t i n g f e a t u r e s of his kind are Wiltshire, Brooks, Merry, Allen, Williams, Wyaor and others. This does not, however, r e p r e s e n t the e n t i r e number of men wh" are will-ing and able to contribute work that is worthy of p u t t i n g in the Bomb, and it is hoped that more will con-sider the matter and at least talk with the editor on the subject. DRAMATIC CLUB Tuesday night a call waf made for candidates for the Dramatic club and about eighty nien responded. A musical comedy is to be put on and a t i i p arranged for, so with this and the mandolin club we will be able to show the alumni what •he corps can do in thai. line. The following officers were elected: Manager, Captain Crowson; assistant manager and staff manager, Howard, R. ; property man, Hastie; press agent, Moore C. ; musical director, Drum-a n ; wardrobes, Ewing, L. ; electric-ian, Speer. West Point and all of the colleges in the South have plays, HO why can't we have one? Right now the prospect is b r i g h t e r than ever, so lets get together and turn out a gond show. Miss Gibbs, librarian, has at the l i b r a ry a number of old invitations to the Farewell Ball during iS85.-'90, which corresponds to our Final Ball of todav. They are in marked con-t r a s t to those gotten out at the pres-ent time, but their antiquity and de-sign are moat interesting. The first issue of " T h e Bomb" gotten out in 1^85, Eihows j u s t how great a change has taknn place between the annuals of that time and those of today. It gives the lists of fraternities ht're then with the complete chapter members, the f r a t e r n i t i es being Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, Kappa Sigma Kappa, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi. V. M. 1. SUFFERS FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASON AT THE HANDS OF VIRGINIA I CLASS ATHLETICS IN EARNEST University Team at Its Best While 'Varsity Fails to Show the Same Form Seen in Earlier Games— Blocked Punts an Important Factor in Result Virginia by displaying f a r better rootball than in any other game this year easily defeated V. M. I. Sat-urday by the score of 22 to 6. Vir-g i n i a ' s offensive and defensive play was srtong throuhgout the game and this with the spectacular work of Todd, made victory apparenly an easy one. V. M. I. on the other hand lacked the team work that they showed against Davidson and A. and M., and put up the worst exhibition of the season. Their interferenci was not up to the standard and un-til the fourth q u a r t e r the line did not show the s t r e n g t h seen heretofore. Individually the team played well each man getting into plays that brought him credit. The concentra-ted a t t a c k and the ability to stop their opponents plays were missing. very dangerous on, two occasions losing the ball on downs. Each t e am failed a t a drop and placement kick. V. M. I. trving both in the second quarter, while Virginia made her t r i a l s in the fourth Kingman was the mo^t consistent gainer for V. M. I., while Todd and Yeager were the chief ground gainers for Virginia. Forward passes were used with equal success by each team. THE GAME IN DETAIL F i r s t Q u a r t e r : V. M. I. kicks back of goal line. Play started, V a . ' a ball on their own twenty five yard ilne. Wood mak«s bad pass over back's head, but Va. recovtes. Va. kicks, Witt advancing ball three yards. V. M. 1. first down no gain. Moore punts. Todd advancing A. H. OWEN, Left Tackle Whose end runs and f a s t work in g e t t i n g down the punts have been a f e a t u r e of the games this season. To an outsider it would appear that Virignia completely outclassed V. M. I. but it must be said that the team that represented V. M.l . Saturday did not show the true class it is cap-able of. Moore's punts were oi as g r e a t Ipngth as Virginia's but Todd and Gooch always brought the ball back twenty five to thiriy yards, making Virginia gain on an exchange. Fum.bles on both side were too fre-c, uent for good football, but those of the losers proved the more costly. Both teams played a punting game, neither risking anything on a third down. V i r g i n i a ' s f o r w a r d ' s fine work in blocking Moore's punts had much to do with the final score. Only at times did V. M. I. show their dash and fight of other games. In the last q u a r t e r Virginia never becamel twenty yards. Ball passed over Goodhue's head, Leech f a l l i n g on it back of goal. Moore kicks goal. Score 6 to 0. Va. kicks, Moore bringing ball back fifteen yards. Mncre five yards from fake kick formation, second down. V. M. I. thrown for two yard loss. Moore punts outside. Va.'s ball. Youell i n t e r c e p t s forward pass. V. M. I . 's ball. Moore kicks. Va.makng fair catch. Va. kicks. Witt advancing ball ten yards. First down no gain. Moore punts, Todd advancing fifte«n yards.

Not only will football be played by class teams, but baseball, basketball, and also t r a c k work will be taken up as the respective seasons roll by. Much has been done and said along these lines, but never until this year has the real live interest taken hold of all, and this s t a t e of affairs can be a t t r i b u e d , first to our a t h l e t i c direc-tor, Captain Brummage, and second to the good feeling and s p i r i t in and between classes. It is no one but Captain Brummage who offered a sil-ver loving cup to the champions of 1911, in inter class football, and i t ' s no onn but the classes themselves t h a t are making the race such an in-t e r t s t i n g one. But as the time for the games to be payed draws near the weeding ou begins, and until it is definitely decided this week, a good deal of anxiety has been caused among the prospectives, as to just who would be allowed to play on the class teams. Some insist(>d that anyone who had received varsity coaching, that is anyone who had played either on the varsity squad or on the scrubs, could not come out lor class teams. Others were equal-ly anxious lor the head coach to de cidr those not eligible, 'till finally the coach, captains of each class team and two v a r s i t y r e p r e s e n t a t i v es met to decide this all important is-sue. This was decided once for all Tuesday night for all branches of class a t h l e t i c s ; that any man hav-ing participated in a scheduled Varsi-ty game, for any length of time whatever, would not be eligible for class teams in that same branch. The length of q u a r t e r s were also dis-cussed, and finally two 9 minute and two 8 minutes were adopted. Then arose the question of who would play who, andw hen. This was soon set-tled by placing four numbers, repre-s e n t i n g the classes, in a hat and drawing out two of them. The first two were to p l a y , t h e n the remaining two. The next game was to be be-tween the loosers of firft series, and the last between the winners of the first series. In this way each team plays two games, and at the end of the " c l a s s s e a s o n , " each team will have a place. The slips bearing " 3 " and " 2" were the first to be drawn, leaving of course " l " and " 4 " So on Nov. 15th. the second and third classes clash. On the 18th the first and fourth. The following Wednesday the loosers of the second-third game wijl pUy the loosers of the first-fourth, leaving the big deciding game to be played on Saturday, Nov. 25th. A moving picture show was given last Saturday night for the enter-tainment of the corps. Cadets Ken-nedy, I'arker, Schmitt, furnithed music on the piano and violin for the occasion. !
