The Council also gave sper.ial attention to the matter of students not speaking· when they meet on the campus. President Behrends called attention to the fact that infractions of this unwritten rule which is traditional on the earnpus have been more nu,nt->r::ms than at any time in the past.
The Council considered the matter of giving additional publicity
·to the clause 1n the student bylaws. which provides that both coed and male student shall s1'.are responsibility in any case involving infraction of the rules applying to co-eds. Behrends urged that all students take cognizance Clf this provision and give it due consideration in the future.

Announcement is made this week that The Student, the college literary magazine, will be present_ ed during the week preceding the Homecoming game. This will be its first issue since May, 1943.
Publication of the magazine was suspended during the war due to a necessary decrease in the publications budget. Last spring the college Publications Board directed that the periodical should resume publication this fall and elected Jesse Glasgow and Paul B. Bell, as editor and business manager respectively, to head its staff.
The Student is designed to be an outlet for campus literary contributions. As such its editor gladly welcomes articles, short stories,' essays, and poetry from Wake Forest students.
Six Issues The publication schedule calls
for six· issues of the magazine durin&; the year. Plans are to present issues in the months of October, November, December, February, March, and April. The subscription is taken care of in the individual student's general fees.
Begun in January of 1882, The Student is the oldest of the three Wake Forest student publications. For many years it won wide acclaim from readers all over the state for the high quality of its editorial content. Among i:ts former editors are such notables as the late Thomas Dixon, Gerald W. Johnson, the late John Charles McNeill, and Robert L. Humber.

Eagles Are Loaded with T-Formation Stars
and Power
Wake Forest is ready to shoot the works against Boston College tonight when the two teams clash at Brave's Field in Boston :in what promises to be one of the topnotch intersectional contests of the week.
The Eagles are loaded to the gills with T-formation power, and the dark-horse Deacs boast their finest set of accurate-passing, hard-running backs of the last decade. Both clubs are t1Utting many new men on the field, and to the impartial observer it looks like a toss-up battle.
The contest will be the third between these• sectional · rivals and the Demon Deacons will be ,;unning for their first victory. BC won the two previous contests in 1941 and 1942 by scores of 26-6 and 27~0.
In 1942 Johnny (Red) Cochran, gifted triple-threat halfback, was Wake Forest's hero in a losing cause, and Boston's backfield coach said he was the best_ back his team faced all year. Just last week Coach Denny Myers of the Eagles told how he has been warned to look for the worst tonight. "That Red Cochran of theirs was bad news to us both years and he's back along with several other great stars."
Boston College will be endeavoring to regain the lofty heights which saw .the Eagles win the Eastern intercollegi~te championship in 1942. The Eagles enjoyed only mediocre success during the war years, but now they have about 30 lettermen back from the 1942 squad, which met Alabama in the Orange Bowl. Last year Boston defeated N. Y. U., Squantum Navy, and Scranton, while losing to Brown, King's Point, Villanova, and Holy Cross.
· Key Man Key man- in the Eagle's T will
be Bob Mangene, ex-GI and standout of the 1942 Eastern champs. Mangene is a ~eat triple-threater and is Boston's leading backfield candidate for all-American honors. His understudy at left half, AI Caniuiva, is hailed as a great freshman find. Tom Brennan is the battering ram of the BC attack.
Mario Gianelli, the massive 240-pound left guard and a sure candidate :for All-America, will lead the linemen, who will average some 215 pounds. Chet Lipka, is a great end who catches many of the Mangene-Cannava passes. Boston's passing has looked superb in scrimmages to date.
Wake Forest is in good shape for tonight's game, with -Guard, Bud Wedel being the only key man out. Walker has run the sq)lad through light workouts this week after a grueling scrimmage Saturday which saw the Sacrintys star for one team and Cochran and Croom put on an amazing lateral exhibition for the other,
The team practiced at the Catholic University field in Wash.. ington Wednesday afternoon and worked out briefly last night at Braves' Field.
The team that trots onto Braves''l'ield tonight wearing gold and black probably will be composed of Bruno and O'Quinn at the ends, Martin and Hobbs at the tackles, Royston and Leonetti at the guards, Allen at center, and the S~crinty brothers, Ognovich, and Brinkley in the backfield. A second backfield with ·cochran, Manieri, Dowda, and Croom will be ready for immediate action.

Citizens may turn to their daily newspapers and be informed of any congressional action taken in Washington or legislative accomplishments in state capitals. This is ma'!,e possible through detailed and unrestricted news coverage by the press associations whose re· porters are admitted to all regular sessions of Congress and the state legislatures.
Until last week OLD GOLD AND BLACK enjoyed no such advantage and the details of council proceedings which its columns c~trried were-in every case-"second-hand." This indirect method· of news gathering often times made for incomplete and possibly inaccurate reporting.
As has been statea, the Student Council has opened its doors to an- OLD GOLD staff member, and by virtue of this .liberal action its readers, may be assured of more accurate and complete coverage o·f Student Council activities.
OLD GOLD AND BLACK hails this action as a step in the right direction toward more liberal student government on the Wake For-est campus.

A Mature Student Body
The probability that the present student body at Wake Forest College is the most mature group that has ever enrolled here at any one time is almost too obvious to point. out. lt is perhaps not the oldest group on an average in so far as years are concerned, but, since it is pretty generally conceded that many and varied experiences marvelously develop the mind and maturity of outlook, we may say that we are mentally the· most mature group of students in the history of the College.
ed, it is fast becoming exhausted. And the Brother Dave Friday has been is carrying out a red and blue roo-
We have a group of veterans as large as the total number of the total enrollment in many pre-war years whose combined time in foreign countries makes up the sum of 2000 years. These men have had the time and opportunity to grow up and to develop points of view far in advance of the average college student in normal times and even in advance of their own years.
But it is not alone among the veterans that advancement in mental age has occurred. The war caused a shake-up in everyone's ~ense of values. All of us have been forced to stop and re-examine our motives and our goals and this upcurve in student maturity has affected nearly every student on the campus.
All of the foregoing is readily apparent, but it is necessary to keep those facts in mind in order to deduce the probable results. One thing we feel certain it will not result in is a repet1t10n of those rah-rah-hallelujah college years that came as an aftermath of the last war when people came to college, not to gain an education, but to have four years of fun unsullied by the drudgery of studying.
Of . course, this group smiles, and often, but it is readily apparent that every member has a purpose in being here. From their manner, from their attitude in class, and just from their conversation it is an easy matter to see what will be the final result.
The final result will be an increase, first of all, in the scholastic average. Competition will be stiff and standards will go up. But, most important of all, there will be a vast improvement in the timbre of the men that the College turns out.

Wake Forest's bumper crop of veterans were away at the wars a total of 2000 years, records in the News Bureau reveal. Of 779 exservicemen whose battle statistics are on file, 432 were in the Army in ranks ranging from private to major, 300 served somewhere between apprentice seamen and full lieutenants with the Navy, 39 fought with the Marines and 4 were Coast Guardsmen.

Covering the Field With Rock
. By the time you see this our beloved Deacons will be in
Beantown. This game marks the opening contest for both schools. These teams have met twice in the past with Boston College coming out on top by several touchdowns in both 1941 and 1942.
Boston College hasn't played any regular collegiate football since 1942. During 1he war, the Eagles put an informal team on the field that didn't meet any real opposition. This year's team will feature only one player who played on the i.nformal eleven. The rest are veterans who played on that 1942 powerhouse that wound up its season in the Orange Bowl.
BOYD ALLEN
Hefty Boyd Allen Makes Debut The Deacons, as you know,. put out one of the best war-time
civilian teams in the country. The gold and black will, in all probability, start an eleven that features six of these boys who saw no military service. They are Nick Sacrinty, Nick Ognovich, Dewey Hobbs, Sidney Martin, john Bruno and Rock Brinkley. This should give the Deacons a slight advantage, for these boys, having played the game without interruption, have found the going much easier in the matter of getting into condition.
The riew faces in this year's line-up will be boys such as Ed Royston, Bob Leonetti, Boyd Allen, and John O'Quinn .. Royston played here in 1942. He is a guard who has had college experience plus service play. Leonetti, the other guard, saw ~arsity service at George Washington in 1942. Allen and O'Quinn.have not had any college experience, but ti)ey saw a lot of action on service gridirons. .
Bo Sacrinty, the eleventh member of the starting eleven, is an ex-marine officer who returned in time to hold a first string position on last year's aggregation. He found the going kind of rough last year because of injuries. However, he has come along rapidly and he will be one of the main cogs in this year's attack.
One of the outstanding prospects up front for the Demon Deacons is Boyd Allen, Shelby youngster who has handled Dick Foreman's center position so completely that he is beginning to dispel doubts about Wake Forest having a w'eak line this fall.
Back in 1942 Allen was named All-State high school center and was chosen to represent North Carolina in the annual Shrine AllStar game at Charlotte. Before entering service he starred on Clemson's freshman team.
After three years of army life, including service in the Pacific theater, Boyd deserted the Tiger ranks to join their arch-rivals at Deacontown. In the eyes of rabid Waite Forest supporters who have been mourning the loss of
last year's star lineman, this was indeed a welcome move. ·
Allen is noted for his uricanny ability to knock down short pass.; es. As a line-backer he has given Coach Walker little reason to complain. In view of the fact that few first year men break into "Peahead's" starting line up, he definitely must have ·plenty on the ball.
A major in business administra_ tion, Boyd is anxiously awaiting the curtain-raiser against the Eagles of Boston College. He has been looking forward- to rubbing noses with outstanding pivot men such as Carolina's Chan Highsmith for a long time.
We're anxious, too, for we feel certafn that this h~ty 205-pound, 6-foot, l-inch lad will leave a very good impression.
This balance of service men and good war-time players might well spell the difference between victory and defeat in th-e Deacons' first two games, for both Boston and Georgetown are depending entirely on ex-service .men. The fact that. these boys have been away from the gridiron for such a long period will not help them any, for it will be difficult for them to reach their pre-war level until they get a couple of games under their belts.
Red -Cochran Is. Galloping 1\gain, Plaguing·. Foes of -Wake Forest
One of the most distinguishiag characteristics of this year's Deacon squad is the number of fine reserves. In fact, it is difficult to pick a first and second team because they are about equal in ability. This means that Wake Forest will no longer have .to pit eleven men against the opponent's thirty-three or so. W1th a team headed by such proven stars as Red Cochran, Clay Croom, Burnie Capps, Ray Manieri and Jim Cornogg, the Deacons ~ndoubtedly will use. a two-team system. This will be somethmg that Wake Forest has never been able. to do before, and it should help the Baptists a great deal.
Tonight at Braves' Field there on the Orange Bowlers' all-oppois one Wake Forester who will be sition team.
The experts, after looking in their magic crystal, have predicted a Beanto~n victory. However, I would suggest that the upperclassmen keep some freshmen ~andy at the ~ict.ory bell. Boston College had a hard time beatmg the Deacs m 42 when Red Cochran had to bear the burden alone. This year finds a different story in the making, for in Nick Sacrinty and the same Red Cochran the local boys have one of the best one-two punches in the entire country, and Boston will never get a ~oment's peace with these boys alternating and going top speed for the entire sixty minutes. They, in themselves, provide the best answer for why the student body should keep a sturdy hand on the victory bell.

son, with many of the largest schools having their troubles at the hands of smaller opponents. This was borne out last Saturday in the ·curtain raisers. Cincinnati started the ball rolling by beating an odds-on favorite, Indiana, last year's rulers of the Big Ten. "Though this was the only major upset, several of the more potent schools such as the University of Kansas, Uni~ersity of West Virginia, and Texas A. & M. bad to come from behmd to beat schools that are not even listed in the football annuals.
This is only the beginnmg. Look for these upsets every week for with the great amount of football power much of it has o~erflowed to the smaller schools, and they will be laying it on their bigger brothers with astonishing regularity.

Four years ago Fenway Park was the scene of the Wake ForestBoston College struggle in which Cochran figured so prominently. It was this same triple-threat back whose brilliant all-round play kept Boston fans agog for almost four quarters.

Beam to Defend Local Golf Title
Buddy Beam registered to defend the golf title he won this summer as the big autumn OLD GOLD AND BLACK golf tournament got underway this week. Eighteen experienced golfers entered, and the competition is expected to be very keen. Although the professors were invited to participate, not a one chose to risk his golfing reputation against .the 70's-shooting students.
All matches will be 18 holes and will be scored by total strokes in this elimination tourney, Matches in the first two rounds will be played in threesomes. The time limit for the first round is 6 p. m., Tuesday, October 1st; for the second round 6 p. m., Sunday, October 6th.; and for the final round 6 p. m., Wednesday, October 9th.
Pairings and addresses of participants are ·posted on the bulletin board outside the Book Store.

Deacons Get Royal Se As They ~ead to Yankeeland ·
Drowsy Students T~y To .cheer As Squad Leaves
.For Boston Game
Sleepy-eyed students buttoning theu· shrrts, dressed-to-kill husky footballers trudging up with bags in hand, pretty maidens and hard-working young men cutting capers and leading the "let's go, Wake Forest's", photographers l unning hither and thither for best shots, a usually glum head coach making a fairly optimistic impromptu speech, curious soldiers poking their heads out of coach windows to find out what in the heck was going on in this strange civilian world-all of these phenomena took plac~ as the Wake Forest football team entrained for Bo~;!ton on bright and sunny Wednesday morning.
As early as 6:45 a score or so of the more hardy souls had ~athet·ed at ·Seaboard Airline's local station to give their moral support to Bill Behm and ·Nub Forde, trainer · and manager, who were ·hard. at work loading the mountain of equipment on baggage carts. · Soon the 43 players making the trip were on the scene, dressed up for a four-day sojourn in the North.
Almost to a man, the Deacons were wary of _the big Boston College team, but declared that we would be on equal terms with them and had a good chance to defeat them. Said Nick Sacrinty, who is having his first shot at BC, "Boston hasn't played too well for several years and will have a lot of freshmen in the lineup. Their team won't be as big and powerful as in 1942 when they had Holovak. We'll be on equal terms with them." Brother Eo, who played against BC in 1942, confided that "it's Boston power versus Wake Forest speed, and if we get the jump -on 'em we'll take 'em."
Wake's star of the 1942 losing battle, Red Cochran, said, "They'll be the same as in '42-tough, with a tricky T offense, but we are likely to take them." Then Deacon Dewey Hobbs told us that "Boston is big, especially the line, but we've met big men before. We linemen feel we can take 'em!

The Wake Forest coaching staff added to its quality this year with the audition of one-Robart F. Kellogg, Yes, its none other- than that All-American triple-threat . tailback from Tulane. "Jltterbu~," as he wal;J known when blasting Tulane's opponents, was born at Wynne, -Ark. on August 4, 1917.
Co!'lch Kello~g stands only 5 feet 8 inches, and weighs bUt a .mere 155 pounds, but in 19398:fter a season of superb ball playing, he was selected All-American tailback! After his graduation in 1940, · he starred for the Chicago . Cardinals. In '41 he returned to Tulane as backfield coach.
In-December 1942 Kellogg was called for service with the. l'Tavy. During his naval career the Japs received a sample of his blasting as he· served with Fleet Air Wing Two. While on terminal -leave in February, Lt. Kellogg accepted an offer from Wake Forest to coach .the Deacon backfield.· '
Coach Kellogg, ·who is married and has a seven year old daughter, stated, ui like Wake Forest fine. . The friendliness of the faculty and students is outstanding."

· Loves Ocean Sam's greatest love and ac
cording to him, "first, last and al'lll:'ays" is the ocean. He has spent most of his life beachcoming and that is just plain bliss as far as he is concerned. He acquired that wonderful suntan he's sporting following his belo -J'ed occupation durmg the summer months and even condescended to visit the Wake Forest Summer School one weekend to laugh at the poor pale-faces. His ;~reatest ambition is' to own a sail boat and to sail out into the "wild blue yonder."
During the war Sam served a:s a navigator on a B-24 and flew on 32 missions over Italy. Whil(: overseas he flew with one of his Pika frat~rnity brothers, He says that he was "definitely unhappy oyerseas and in the army." May-· be that's one reason he's so glad to be back on the campus wi~h the magnolias.
