That’s the “hello” signal of
the Freshman class this week.
It will be Freshman Day, the
third annual Freshman Day, at
Parkway Field tomorrow when
the Cardinals and the Big Green
eleven of Marshall College meas-ure
cleats in Louisville’s last
home game of the season.

band leading, and will then form the
letters “U” and “ h".__ The marchers
LANTHORN NOW
NATIONAL LIT
ORGANIZATION
Accepted By Sigma Upsilon.
Country’s Greatest Hon-orary
Lit Fraternity.
The Lanthorn Literary Fraternity,
the only honorary men’s society on
the Campus, has received notification
of its acceptance into Sigma Upsilon,
the national literary fraternity.
Sigma Upsilon has chapters at
Washington and Lee, John Hopkins,
Virginia, Transylvania, North ami
South Carolina and other large uni-versities.
It is the oldest national
honorary literary organization in the
country.
The Lanthorn was organized by a
group of University of Louisville men
who felt that there was a need for an
organization that would bring to-gether
the best thinkers on the Cam-pus
and students with marked liter-ary
talent and that would stimulate
literary and intellectual activities
among the students. The Lanthorn
has a sister organization in Chi Delta
Phi, the international literary sorori-ty.
The petitioning chapter includes
Phillip Schuster, Samuel Hyman,
John Rogers, Dan Thompson, Fred
Harlow, Fred Widman, Frances Reth-wisch,
Louis Salomon, Dan Ehalt,
Arthur Little, William Clarence Ford.
Calvin Gray and Lawrence Lee Howe
are associate members and will soon
become regular members. As Messrs.
Schuster, Hyman, Widman, Reth-wisch,
Ehalt, and Little were gradu-ated
in June, new members will soon
be selected on a merit basis to be
announced soon. Freshmen are not
eligible for membership, but two
freshmen shotwing unusual literary
ability or intellectual leaning will be
chosen as assocatie members.
“The Lanthorn,” the quarterly lit-erary
publication which the society
is publishing, has suspended publica-tion
for one quarter because the edit-ors
felt that while considerable ma-terial
had been submitted for pub-lication
only one-third was acceptable.
By suspending publication for one
quarter, the editors feel that they
will be able to give the University a
literary publication that will be of
surprising excellence.
Captain, All-State Man
Among the all-State men on
Tom King’s string of Thorough-breds
is Harvey Mayhall, plung-ing
fullback, who has been ac-ting
as Captain since Daugherty
was lost to the team.
Mayhall was one of five Uni-versity
of Louisville men who
won all-State berths last sea-son.
He is a hard fighter, a
veteran player, a fullback whose
plunges are like torpedo-touches,
and is well liked by all his fel-lows.
He is a dental student.
HARVEY MAYHALL
Cardinal News to Present
Surplus to U. Enhancement
At a meeting of the board of di-rectors
of The Cardinal News, In-corporated,
held Tuesday night in
the Courier-Journal Building the di-rectors
unanimously agreed that
should there be a surplus in the treas-ury
of The Cardinal News that sur-plus
would be offered to the Univer-sity
of Louisville as a fund to be de-voted
to some form of University of
Louisville enhancement.
Fred G. Harlow, treasurer of The
Cardinal News, gave a financial re-port
which ■was very gratifying to
those attending the meeting. Mr.
Harlow reported that despite the pre-tentiousness
of the publication the
newspaper was in a position to pay
its expenses.
Mr. Harlow stated that an inven-tory
shows that The Cardnial News,
from the standpoint of makeup and
technical conception, was the most
pretentious college publication in the
country. Editorially it has been
quoted in publications in various sec-tions
of the country. Mr. Harlow
said that The Cardinal News could
run at a profit if the appearance and
scope of the paper were not so am-bitious,
but the managing editor said
that he would rather have the public-ation
simply pay for itself rather
than “cut-down” on the make-up and
scope of the newspaper.
REPRESENTATIVE
CROWD ATTENDED
COLVIN RECEPTION
Men and Women of All
Walks of Life Meet New
University President.
“The greatest compliment a com-munity
can pay to a man is to
commit its youth to his keeping,” de-clared
President George Colvin in a
brief speech of appreciation Satur-day
afternoon when he was enter-tained
on the Campus by the Alumni
and Faculty of the University of
Louisville.
“The people of Louisville have
given a hostage to this University—-
their- own sons and daughters. They
will not fail in faith and loyalty. In
turn we make this pledge, humbly,
but will all our heart, that it shall
be our constant purpose to be worthy
of this trust”, continued Dr. Colvin.
Herbert Boehl, president bf the
University Alumni Association in
welcoming the guests said, “The
representative crowd /that has ac-cepted
our invitation to attend is
very gratifying. It indicates the two-fold
purpose of the meeting has been
realized, namely to present to the
people of Louisville an opportunity
of meeting our new president, Dr.
Colvin who is one of Kentucky’s out-standing
personalities as well as one
of the country’s leading educators,
and to convey to the citizens of
Louisville the truth that the Univer-sity
of Louisville, which is the oldest
municipal university in the United
States, is the people’s university,
having been created by the citizens
of Louisville.”
A musical program included sopra-no
solos by Miss Esther Metz. Re-freshments
were served. Before the
opening of the reception in the alum-ni
rooms in the Library building, the
guests of the alumni and faculty
were conducted through the build-ings
and laboratories on the campus,
and the Playhouse, one of the best
equipped Little Theatres in America.
CARDINALS CONCLUDE
1926 HOME CAMPAIGN
WITH THE BIG GREEN
Marshall Machine Pointed For Louisville; Big
Green Eleven Has Always Given Thorough-bred
Gridders Sixty Minutes of Warm Con-cern;
Kingmen May Reach Top cf Brilliant
Form in Freshman Day Contest; “Shorty”
Barnett Out For Season.
With high hopes of continuing to play the winning football
that has marked the last two encounters, Tom King’s University
of Louisville Cardinals will make their last home bow for 1926
at Parkway Field tomorrow, when the Thoroughbreds collide with
the Big Green team of Marshall College in the annual Freshman
Day Embroglio.
The Kingmen conclude the 1926 season five days later when
they meet the Southern University eleven at Lakiiand, Fla., on
Thanksgiving Day. The team will have the benefit of very little
practice next week as Coach King and his charges will entrain
for Florida on Monday evening.
Seven thousand paid admission
spectators witnessed the Louisville-
Centre game. As the Cardinals have
been going at a terrific clip since the
mishapen contest with the Colonels,
a crowd which will rival the attend-ance
of the Centre game is expected
at Parkway Field Saturday.
The game with the Big Green eleven
from Huntington, West Va., promises
to be sternly contested. For the past
five years the Marshallmen have en-tertained
Cardinal elevens as their
Thanksgiving guests, the Big Green
team winning the first three years,
and the Thoroughbreds taking the
last two encounters. Marshall and
Louisville have always been particu-lar
enemies, the games being closely
and fiercely contestd.
Comparative scores indicate that
the two elevens are about evenly-matched.
Both teams lost to Cin-cinnati
St. Xavier, which has been
cutting a considerable swath in col-
FROSH ENGAGE
BABY BENGALS
FOR BIG TITLE
Two Undefeated Yearling
Elevens Meet For South-ern
Championship.
By WILLIAM B. RAY
COACH KENZLER’S freshmen
meet the undefeated George-town
College freshmen this af-ternoon
at Georgetown in the game
which has been the real objective
of all the first year team’s efforts this
season.
Georgetown has cleaned up with
everything so far this season, in-cluding
Kentucky State, Tennessee
and Centre. The Georgetown year-lings
last year won the 'Southern
championship, and they have only one
more obstacle to another champion-ship
this season. That obstacle is
the University of Louisville freshman
team, a team also undefeated, even
unscored upon, but which most critics
give but little chance to trim George-town.
Last Friday afternoon the Tiger
freshmen ran over the Centre Lieu-tenants
by 65 to 0. Coach Kenzler’s
boys beat Centre 12 to 0. However,
this does not dishearten the Louis-ville
team, for it is reported < that
Georgetown scored a great many of
her points against Centre through in-tercepted
passes and not by straight
football. The Cardinal frosh were
ilso more than two touchdowns better
than Centre.
Sff far, the locals have not been
scored upon. They have defeated K.
U. of L. Rooters Hit It
Up at Kentucky Wesleyan
While the loyal ones at home were
helping to make the reception for
President Colvin a success last Sat-urday,
an enthusiastic group of Uni-versity
of Louisville backers, just as
loyal to the school as the afore-men-tioned,
were contributing to the foot-ball
team’s victory at Winchester.
An impressive crowd, estimated at
250, composed of students, alumni, and
professors of the University, accom-panied
the team and the band on their
journey to Wesleyan’s camp. During
the intermission at the half, the Louis-ville
section of the grandstand was
literally emptied upon the gridiron,
and the rooters, lining up behind the
band, marched all around the field.
Then when the game was over, all
the Louisyillians retained their places
in the grandstand long enough to
sing “Hail To U. That night,
the band” paraded around the streets
of Winchester. On the whole, it is
believed that the people of Winches-ted
and the students of Wesleyan
were very favorably impressed by the
demonstrations staged by the Louis-ville
backers.
