THE TECH ORACLE
“EAGLES” PLAY CUMBERLAND FRIDAY
Number of Students to Accompany Team
On next Friday, November 20th, Tech meets an old rival in Cumberland University, and judging from their present season’s record, one whom it will be difficult to defeat. They won from the Tennessee “Doctors,” 17 to 0, who were defeated by the famous Centenary College team only 17 to 14. They held the strong University of Chattanooga team to a 12 to 7 score, who the next week defeated Mercer by a similar count. Coaches Overall and Smith saw the Carson-Newman game and both are of the opinion that Cumberland should have won. In weight their team will compare favorably with an in the South, averaging about 185 pounds. In Martin, from the University of Oklahoma they have a 225 pound tackle, whose play has been outstanding all fall. “Goob” Vaden, a former Tech man, and for the last three years a mainstay on the Milligan College team, is now a “Bulldog” lawyer. He happens to weigh 180 lbs, and is the lightest man on the regular squad. The two ends, Hicks and Wesson are heavy and experienced men and both good at their positions. In Singleton, from Texas, they possess a triplethreat man of no mean ability. He is a punter of repute and will push Hughes for punting honors. The ability of “Tiny” Knee has been demonstrated to Tech teams before, to our great sorrow. We know what to expect from him. Our team knows what it is up against and are preparing to “do or die.” With the student body squarely behind them we are going to carry off the banner of victory. Let’s show them we are for them by our presence at the game.
The probable Line-ups:
Tech L.E. Hicks
Brown L.T. Martin
Moss L.G. Grant

Miller R.G. Vaden
Wilson R.T. Wesson
Watson R.E. Wesson
Hughes Q.B. Singleton

“GO TO COLLEGE MOVEMENT”
Received Unanimous Endorsement of Tech College Students!
The members of the United College Classes met in the auditorium on Tuesday, October 10, to perfect plans for a “Go to College Campaign” which will be conducted throughout this section of the state.
Briefly stated, the plan is this: the Tennessee Polytechnic Institute extends to every member of the senior classes of all high schools in this section a free subscription to the Tech Oracle for one year. The Tech College Student Body agrees to furnish the material for, and to cooperate with the Oracle Staff in editing a special column in the paper devoted to this campaign. The aim of the campaign is to show by facts and figures the beneficial effect of a college education on every activity of life. We printed, in the preceding Description of the Oracle, statistics which prove this contention beyond question, and abundant evidence and information in furtherance of this topic will be given in succeeding Descriptions.
The Tech Collegians voted unanimously in favor of the Campaign, pledging their support to put it over in true Tech style.
WORK TO BEGIN ON DRAMA
At a recent meeting of the college students, Mr. Stone, president of the organization appointed a committee to cooperate with Messrs. Passons and McClanahan in selecting a suitable Shakespearean play to be given by the organization during the latter part of the school year.
The Committee:
C.W. Davis, Chairman,
Rebecca Johnston,
Martha Sedivak,
Hazel Wall,
Robert Rose,
Douglas Robbins,
Harry Draper.
The committee is expected to report its selection within the next two weeks.
FACTS ABOUT FRESHMEN
The 1925 Freshman College Class is one of the most interesting first year classes that has entered T.P.I. in years. This class is mature and well-balanced, and its members lack much of that greenness so characteristic to freshmen. T.P.I. welcomes this class very cordially. No former freshman class has seemed to catch the Tech spirit so readily as they have.
We members of the first year class number 55. There are thirty two boys and 22 girls. The average age of the boys is twenty years and that of the girls is eighteen years and four months.
The freshmen are taking courses in many different departments of () the school. Seven are taking Agriculture, eight Engineering, twenty Home Economics, ten Commercial work, and ten are taking the regular academic work.
The first year students represent twenty-seven counties and sixteen high schools. Seven have taught school, and thirty-six have travelled out of the State of Tennessee. The following counties are represented by at least one student in the first year class: Scott, Morgan, Dickson, Overton, Robertson, Jackson, Clay, Putnam, Sequatchie, Pickett, Monroe, McMinn, Montgomery, and Hamilton.
The three magazines that are read most by the members of this class are: The Literary Digest, The American and the Ladies Home Journal, By far the most popular authors with the freshman are:
Harold Bell Wright, Zane Grey, James Oliver Curwood, and Gene S. Porter.
We are expecting great things of this class, forty of whom intend to go to college four years and get a degree.
Just Another Victory for Tech
On last Friday the Tech “Golden Eagles” won another victory –this time at the expense of Hiwassee College. But as the score indicates it was just another victory, for a 39 to 2 count doesn’t reveal much opposition. Or else, journeying thru the beautiful and picturesque Sequatchie Valley, our team was filled with such feeling of sublimity that when the game was on it rose to the ethereal heights from which it would not be downed. Anyway, we came away with with the verdict and the honor of being, according to Hiwassee players, the best team seen on the Hiwassee field this year, the U.T. Freshman notwithstanding. They declared that our blocking was almost unsurpassable as well as unpassable.
Jobe Dowell, Watson, and Wilson were the outstanding players for Tech. Jobe was especially efficient on off-tackle plays—gaining at will. Dowell’s skirting of the ends for fifteen and twenty yards was another feature and a frequent one at that. Wilson, playing his usual stellar game at tackle, had no less than five chances to score, once on a kick-off, twice on recovery of end punts. But each time, after eluding almost the entire Hiwassee team, the last man brought him down. The greatest individual honors, however, must go to Watson, our versatile right end. It seemed that he could not miss. On () four occasions he snagged the oval for distances of thirty yards and more. Once he caught one over the end zone, which does not count. Hughes’ punt averaged forty yards despite the fact that much of the kicking was against the wind.
For Hiwassee Dickenson played a great defensive game. Hiwassee scored their only points when Dowell, in attempting an end run, was forced far enough back to e downed behind his own goal line, thus resulting in a safety for Hiwassee.
The line-up and summary:
Watson L.E. Dickenson
Brown L.T. Deakins
Moss L.G. Hall
Clark C. Youell
Miller R.G. Waner
Wilson R.T. Lewis
Davis R.E. Crockett
Hughes Q.B. Hudson
Lewis L.H. Kennedy
