Two new classroom buildings will be up on the Auburn
campus as the result of action taken Friday by the A.P.I.
Board of Trustees. The board authorized construction of a
$486,000 building for the School of Architecture and the Arts,
and a $481,000 building for the School of Education.
Board action also authorized i" < ;
\
preparation of a $400,000 bond is­sue
to help finance construction
costs of the buildings. . Funds on
hand .for building purposes will
be used to finance the remainder.
President Ralph. B. Draughon

Tittle and Narrows, Mont­gomery,
is preparing architectu­ral
plans and specifications for
the architecture building, and Van
Keuren and Davis, Architects,
Birmingham, is handling plans for
the education building.
In his annual review of the
college, President Draughon told
the trustees "a great stride for­ward
in educational leadership"
was taken this year when Auburn,
University of Alabama and Ala­bama
College at Montevallo join­ed
hands in mutual agreement on
legislative policies affecting state
appropriations to the three insti­tutions.
He pointed out that the Ala­bama
Legislature appropriated for
the operation of public schools
and colleges for 1949-51, all of
the estimated incomes from the
special taxes supporting education
plus all the surplus.
The board also received written
reports from Vice-President, of
the College David W. Mullins and
the heads of the various school?
and associations on the campus.
The board voted to sell to the
Lee County Agricultural Associ-s
ation, Opelika, an FPHA dormi­tory
damaged by fire last spring
for the sum of $1.00. This build­ing
is to be used for a recreation
center for Negro youths.
A resolution also was passed
expressing the board's "sincere
grief" in the loss of Prof. Jesse
M. Robinson, former head of the
zoology and entomology depart­ment.
A resolution was passed which
commended Congressman Sam
Hobbs of Sclma for his efforts to
have t h e East-West highway
across Alabama paved and named
"Auburn Highway." The road is
U.S. 80 and runs.from the Mis­sissippi
line through Selma, We-tumpka,
Tallassee, Auburn and
Opelika to Columbus. All but 11
miles of the highway are paved.

President
James Baird
I, James wimmy) Baird, ask
members of the freshmen class
for their v o t e s in the coming
election for the following rea­sons:
1. To organize t h e freshman
class into1 a closely-knit' group
-for the purpose of sponsoring
freshman activities, including
class projects and social activi­ties,
2. To increase freshman repre­sentation
in the student govern­ment.
If elected, I shall devote my
time and ener%y to carry out the
wishes of the freshman class.
I feel that I am qualified for
the office of president because I
have held a number of offices in
my high school student govern­ment,
church organizations and
athletic groups.
Your support will be greatly
appreciated.
John Boalwright
In running for president of the
Class of 1953, I h a v e in mind
three points that will help make
us the best freshman class ever
to attend Auburn—"unification,"
"spirit," and "fellowship." We
constitute t h e largest freshman-class
ever to enroll at Auburn,
and this means that we, the fu­ture
seniors, will have to bind
together to make it the most suc­cessful
class ever.
"One unified body, bound to­gether
in spirit and fellowship,".,
should be our aim. I realize the
responsibility that goes with this
office, and I am willing to work
to the utmost to achieve the hon­or
of being a member of the best
freshman class ever to attend
Auburffc
Max Bruner
I am running for president pf
the freshman class because I
want to do many things to foster
the Auburn Spirit and to estab­lish
better and closer relations
between the faculty and students.
I would like to sponsor the tra­ditional
Auburn "Rat Day" and, .
if some condition w i t h sound
reasoning could be arranged, to
help establish a system of cuts for
all five hour courses.
The freshman class should have
more meetings so that we. could
know one another better. With
the help of the other freshman
officers, I would like to have
another freshman dance at the
end of the year. While working
with t h e Executive Cabinet,
sound student government on my
part will be propelled. Remem­ber,
a vote for Bruner will ac- j
complish more sooner.
Dennis Calhoun
If you see fit to elect me presi- I
dent of the/ freshman class next
Thursday^ I intend to' strive for
the following goals:
1. A friendly a n d organized
fresh:--~n class brought together

J. Pant Sheedy* Switched to Wfldroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test —•
r e t A WHILI, Sheedy's life itory was a pretty sad tail. People
rode him about hi* wild, unruly hair. And it wasn't until his fa­vorite
filly gave him the gait that he decided to do something
about it. He trotted down to the corner drug store and
bought a bottle of Wildroot Cream-Oil hair tonic. You should
see'him now) Non-alcoholic Wildroot containing Lanolin
keeps his hair neat and well-groomed all day long. No .more
annoying- dryness, no more loose, ugly dandruff.
Take a tip from Sheedy. If your sugar balks when you ask
for a date, you need Wildroot Cream-Oil right away. Get it
in bottles or tubes at your local drug or toilet goods counter.
And ask your barber for professional applications. You'll be
a winner every time!

A. E. Department
Adds Wind Tunnel
Auburn's aeronautical, engi­neering
department is now equip­ped
with a wind tunnel, accord-
. ing to a statement by Prof. Ro­bert
G. Pitts, head professor of
aeronautical engineering and di­rector
of the Auburn School of
I Aviation. The wind tunnel is in
If the final stages of perfection and
will be in use before the end of
this quarter.
Beginning in 1938, Professor
Pitts worked on the wind tunnel
j during his spare time until World
' War II. Since the war," he has'
been aided by laboratory mecha­nic
James D. Shobe. •
Composed largely of parts made
here, the tunnel is of wood. A
surplus electric motor drives a
two-bladed wooden propeller
salvaged from the Aviation;
School.
"The wind tunnel fills a need
of 19 years' standing," stated Pro­fessor
Pitts. "It has been needed
since the department of aeronau­tical
engineering was established
, here in 1930. It will be used to
demonstrates problems in the ele­mentary
levels of aerodynamics
and research," concluded the pro-
, fessor.

Bricklaying Machine
A bricklaying machine has been
given to the civil engineering de­partment
of A.P.I, by the Hodg­son
Construction Co. of Mont­gomery.
The machine will be us­ed
for demonstrational and edu­cational
purposes here.
Paul Sommers, inventor of the
device with which an amateur
can lay up to 2000 bricks per day
while a skilled bricklayer will
lay 600 to 700, -has designed a
machine many thought impos­sible.
The bricklayer will lay a
standard ,8 to 13 inch wall and
levels itself automatically.
Sommers stated that the ma­chine
"is aimed primarily at the
rural market at present, but will
be reasonably priced and should
be a great boon to the self im­provement
program sponsored by
A.P.I, and the state. It will en­able
amateurs to build their own
barns, houses, etc., at a cost far
under hired construction."
The bricklayer will be placed
in t h e materials laboratory of
the civil engineering department,

Regrettable Homecoming Occurrences
Where was "Doc" Hodge at the game
Saturday?
This is a question which has been asked
by many students during the past week
in discussions of Homecoming activities.
We also were left in a state of amazement
and bewilderment when the faithful old.
Auburn Negro did not make his annual
appearance at the HomcMning game. The
appearance cf "Doc" Hedge at all Home­comings
has become as much a p a r i of the
festivities as the football game itself, and
when the old darkie did not lead the Tiger
supporters in a yell at the game we felt
t h a t something must be wrong.
Being both puzzled and disappointed
by the absence of "Doc" Hodge, we asked
for an explanation of why he did not lead
t h e A u b u r n students in t h e i r beloved "War
Eagle". Immediately he reported, to our
amazement, that the officiating police at
t h e g-.me would not let him assume his
posjiion with the Auburn student body.
Instead, the l aw officers told the astound­ed
Negro t h a t he would have to sit in the
section reserved for his race. As a result
he was foeed to sit in t h e end zone and was
not permited to take his expected role in
t h e Homecoming ceremonies.
We do not know who was fesponsible
for the prevention of Hodge's entrance
i n to the student section of the stadium,
t u t such action, regardless of the author­ity,
was u n c a l l e d for and unjustified.
Whether the police took this measure up­on
themselves o r # w h e t h e r \ s o m e college
official called for this a c t i o n , ' i t was ab­solutely
absurd. To prevent t h e appearance
of one of the grandest characters in Au­b
u r n ' s history, "Doc" Hodge Drake, at the
Homecoming game, was a gross error on
someone's part. We f r a n k l y feel that
Hodge is due a direct apology as well as an
explanation from the official responsible
for this aetion.
Not only was Hodge prevented from
joining in with Auburn students, but be
• was placed in the very inadequate facili­ties
provided for Negroes at the game.
Very small bleachers were placed in the
end zone to seat all Negro fans. This small
s t r u c t u r e was soon filled and overcrowded
and as a result, many Negro patrons were
forced to seek seats on the bank behind
t h e bleachers. These Negroes, Who had
paid for-seats at the game, w e r e forced to
take positions where visibility and com­fort
were seriously lacking. At the same
time, over 3,000 seats in t h e regular stands
cf the s t a d i um were vacant. It would have
taken only a few minutes to allow the-
Negroes to move to the section in the
west stands which was completely empty.
These two instances of injustice to Neg­r
o a t t e n d a n t s in general, and to "Doc"
Hodge in particular, were r e g r e t t a b l e oc­currences
in an otherwise joyous Home­coming
week end.
Students Should Vote Tomorrow
Auburn students will go to the polls
tomorrow in the first big campus elec­tion
of the year when ballots are cast for
Miss Auburn and freshmen officers. Not
only is this the first key campus election,
but it is also the f i r s t opportunity for
freshmen to exercise t h e i r democratic
right by voting in class elections.
The freshman election presents a chal­lenge
to the members of the Class of '53 to
select worthy officers to lead, organize,
and develop their class during the year.
Voters should weigh carefully the plat^
forms, qualifications, and abilities of all
candidates before casting t h e i r ballots.
This is the first step in the development
cf interest in campus politics for freshmen,
and each freshman should exercise his pri­vilege
by casting a ballot.
In the selection of Miss Auburn for
1949-50, the entire student body is faced
with the problem of selecting a coed who
typifies the "ideal" Auburn woman stu-
\
dent. In voting for Miss Auburn, students
are urged to take into consideration the
achievements, personality, and character,
as well as the appearance of the candidate.
Since all five candidates appear to us to
be tops in the facts, faces and figures de­partments,
we admit t h a t students are
faced with a difficult problem...
We sincerely hope that every student
entitled to vote in each of the elections
tomorrow will cast a ballot. In the past
few years, interest in elections at Auburn
has been sadly lacking. Now is the time
for a 11 students to properly inaugurate
campus politics for the year by registering
the largest vote in the h i s t o r y of the
school. If each student will exercise his
sacred right of voting, campus politics will
be placed in a position above reproach and
criticism. It is only through voting" and in­terest
in campus affairs that student gov­ernment
will be able to serve the Auburn
students to the best advantage.
Movement Toward Class Organization
At long last there seems to be a definite
movement toward class organization in the
A.P.I. student body. The sophomore class
started the ball rolling at a meeting Oct­ober
25, and the junior class is next in the
with a meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
Nothing definite was decided at the
sophomore meeting, but groundwork was
laid for the establishing of a class project.
The class is to meet again the latter part
of this month to take some definite steps
A toward consolidation.
The junior elass meeting will mark the
first meeting held by the theoretical class
,of 1951 since its beginning in 1947. It is to
be hope* that the adjective "theoretical"
can be dropped after this meeting.
Class officers have been working hard
to get all the preliminary work done be­fore
the meeting. Committees have al­ready
been appointed ana are at work on
preparations for the gathering.
The selection ofji class project is on
the agenda as are several important mat­ters.
The meeting is intended to be a busi-ness
meeting and class officers want to
see some concrete plans made at this meet­ing.
An inter-class carnival wilkbe discus­sed.
This carnival, if settled upon' would
be the result of a combined effort of all
four classes. Profit made at the carnival
would go into the c l a s s treasuries and
would finance class projects.
^It's heartening to know that steps are
being taken to restore the old class organ­ization
system. Recent Auburn graduates
have had' no definite class affiliations be­cause
of the lack of a well-defined system
and therefore, feel no class loyalty. Class
loyalty and the old Auburn Spirit go hand
in hand, one is complemented by the other.
The junior class has a big job cut out
for it—we hope the class officers and the
class as a whole will make this task a
success.

Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer
Many Auburn students still complain .about the lack of a
campus humor magazine, still remembering the days when
the Tiger Rag was having its heyday. Admittedly, a good
humor mag has its place in college life, but we're content to do
without rather than.to have a publication which would be no
better than funny books on some other campuses.
Take, as an example, theVel
Mcleer
low Jacket of Georgia Tech. On
the surface it has the usual eye-appealing
cartoons, . illustrations
and jokes—not
subtle o n e s
w i t h double
meanings, b ut
those of the be-h
i n d - t h e -
b a r n ' variety.
S i n c e we do
not belong to a
strait - l a c ed
school, we do
n o t condemn
t h e laugh-ap­p
e a l of t he
jokes, but merely suggest that
cartoon and j o k e editors have
missed the boat.
The opening section of faked
letters to the editor is little more
than high schoolish at the most.
The stories, undoubtedly intend­ed
to be merely risque, reek with
amateurish vulgarity.
.The prime reason for the'publi­cation's
c o n t i n u e d existence
seems to stem from an open war
with the school's semi-weekly
paper, the Technique. At least
one-fourth of the material con­sists
of artless criticism of t he
Technique, which m o r e justifi­ably
fights back at the "Yellow
Jerket" in its editorial columns.
If any talented student i or
group should decide to revive
the Tiger Rag. we're for it, but
we do ask that the "Jerket" be
•used as a model of how not to be.

According to latest reports,
slightly ^over $600 has been con­tributed"
by us, the students of
the friendly college, to the Cam­pus
Chest. A goal of $7,200 had
been set for the well-publicized
two-day drive. This g o a l was
based on the hope that an aver­age
of $1 per student would be
donated.
Why have we, the people so
full of the glorified "Auburn
Spirit," failed to support this
worthwhile cause—one that in­cluded
all charities which had
previously held separate drives
.plus one new campus fund? Such
a complete failure on our part
does not seem to be congruent
with our usual helpful spirit.
Although we point with pride
to our traditions, our reputa­tions
and our progress, we should
feel nothing but shame for our
lack of response to the unified
drive, designed to do away with
the former habit of campaigns'
being staged every week.
Let's hope that the reason for.
the drive's failure was not due'1
to a lack of desire on our part to
help those less fortunate, but was
because of negligence, or tem­porary
financial position, or con-
, flicting events.
If one of these was the basis
for our p o o r showing and no
lopger is valid, we can redeem
ourselves. Individual 'contribu­tions
can still be made to Milton
Blount at the Kappa Alpha house
or to Allen Price at the Alpha
Psi house. If any individual, 'or
group, failed to respond during
the scheduled period, he should
feel guilty until he makes some
contribution by contacting one of
these co-chairman. (
General\y Speaking By Bruce Greenhill
According to my calculations
there are' approximately 52 weeks
in the year. Out of that time this
institution is in session about 44
weeks. Out of these 44 weeks,
one three-day period is set apart
as Homecoming week end.
This week end is characterized
by an increase in levity among
the students and certainly by an
overflow of that ole Auburn
Spirit.
Now, the administration evi­dently
thinks Homecoming is a
fairly
Greenhill
thing or else the
f e s t i y i t e s
would h a .v c
been cut long
ago. Also, the
a d m i n i s tra-tion
must take
at least a liber­al
view toward
the slight let­up
in e d u c a ­tional
endea­vor
that goes
with the event.
To my know­ledge
a slackening of pace has
always been the accepted thing
during the few days previous to
the game and the day after it.
This let-up definitely is not over­ly
detrimental to one's learning;
to the contrary, I believe that a
slight releasing of the tension is
desirable.
I can't see why the slight let­up
over Homecoming week end is
so bad. I think that many per­sons,
both administrative person­nel
a n d faculty, agree because
they haven't taken steps to do
away with Homecoming, nor
have they tried to clamp down
on the students during this time.
Many instructors, still carrying
out their jobs of instruction by
holding lecture classes each day,
suspend outside work for Friday
and Monday classes. Is this going
too far? I say, "Heck no." I think
its just an example of a broad-minded
instructor who realizes
that students, while attending
school for an education, can use
a little recreation time along with
the grind.
I approve of this practice but
I will concede that a small as­signment
is permissible if the in­structor
feels that postponing it
will disrupt his whole class sche­dule.
Some people seem to think that
a Homecoming week end termin­ates
Saturday night at twelve.
This idea is ali\ wrong. I believe
that a few thousand discreet in­quiries
will disclose that dates
for the-week end include Sunday
in most cases. Certainly, anyone
who has an out-of-town date has
to spend the biggest part of Sun­day
feeding his femme and get­ting
her fixed up with some man­ner
of transportation back to her
home. Therefore, the excuse of
giving assignments over Home­coming
week end because, "there
is plenty of time to do the work
Sunday" is a poor one.
' However, if this seems bad,
what in the h e c k can we say
about instructors who schedule
quizzes for Monday? Well, I
think we can say many things
about them and the worse they
are the better.
Why do these instructors do
this when the material has kept,
in many cases, for a thousand
years and doesn't threaten to
vanish over one week end? The
answer is beyond me. I think I'll
initiate a "Be Kind To My Five
Instructors Week" because they
didn't stab me in the back like
certain other profs knifed their
students.
If I haven't made myself clear,
I think Monday-After-Homecom­ing-
Quiz-Givers are for the birds.
What do you think? '
There was many a throat-lump
last week end, as hundreds of
Homecoming a 1 u m n i .recalled
fond memories of AiJburn as they
knew it. But there were few, if
any, alumni who could remember
the mighty battle which was
fought o n what is now Ross
Square, in the fall of '63.
The gallant defenders (ft Ope-lika
had fallen at last before the
large« forces of General Youse-guys,
f o r m e r hero o f the
Boer Wars, a n d then comman- •
der of the Seveiith Battalion of
the Union Army. Trtese troops,
stronger than ever before after
an overnight stay at a green-fronted
building, were marching
toward Auburn with high spirits.
Slowing to a ''Reasonable
Speed" at the city limits, t he
blue-coated soldiers found them­selves
in the Loveliest Village of
the Plains; each made a signifi­cant
"Hah!" sound and then
joined in the march toward the
quadrangle, firing upon fratern­ity
houses and shouting insults
as they passed pedestrians.
At Toomer's Corner they en­countered
resistance in the form
of Auburn freshmen armed with
spit balls, and a brief skirmish
ensued. It is said that here Gen­eral
Youseguys gave his famous
order, "Damn t h e mosquitoes—
full' speed ahead!"
Surprised and secretly much
relieved that no Confederate
soldiers had been massed in bat­tle
formation to meet their at­tack,
the Union forces pitched
their tents alongside T h a c h
Street. General Youseguys conr
gratulated his troops on their
easy victory and dispatched mes­sengers
to f e r i f e t out the best
Tooks and the, comeliest belles of
the town for a big celebration
and barbecue.
The Union victory was to be
short-lived, however, for crouch­ed
behind newly-erected tempo­rary
building 2-A were a small
b u t trustworthy group of Con­federate
volunteers. These stal­warts
Sons of Dixie had been re­cruited
by their leader, Colonel
Cornbread, famous surrey driver
and Auburn's instructor of lobs­ter
fishery, who whispered, "We's
waiting' 'till the time gits ripe."
After a few more minutes of
close observation, the Confeder­ate
chief decided that the time
was "ripe" indeed—the Blue-coats,
dancing in the streets and
gambling on the greensward,
were using Samford Hall's lathe
to turn out victory medals which
they planned to distribute at the
barbecue, already in progress. Not
only were they eating up all the
pork sausage in sight, but also
they were trying with difficulty
to cook the new-found delicacy,
grits.
"Those Yankees are a-putting5
too much wawtuh in their grits,"
muttered C o l o n e l Cornbread,
who hated to see good food ruin­ed
because of improper prepara­tion".
Leaping to his feet he yell­ed,
"Let's take 'em, men!" The
Confederate force swept down
upon the astonished Union sol­diers,
who dropped their victory
medals and their half-eaten saind-wiches
in their haste to recover
their rifles.
There followed the wildest
action ever witnessed upon the
Auhrurn campus (bar last Satur­day
evening). The battle was in­terrupted
only once, when t he
combatant armies signed a tem­porary
truce in order to witness
the running of the annual Hoe-cake
Race. Soldiers lined b o th
sides of the 2.7 m i l e s course,
cheering their favorites and
brushing away flies with copies
of the manual "How to Load and
Discharge the Calibre .63 Rifles."
At the conclusion of the race,
each army returned to its posi­tion,
and the fighting commenced
again. For two long. years t he
fierce battle continued, with nei­ther
force able to get the advan­tages
of the other. During this
period not a soldier from either
side was killed, but one was
seriously injured w ^ ^ n he fell
into a barbecue pit carelessly left
uncovered.
By the time the Civil War end­ed,
General Youseguys - knew
Colonel Cornbread and his fafni-ly
so well that he married the
colonel's daughter, Gravian Corn-bread,
on the same day that the
peace treaty was signed—and if
you don't think the kepis were
waved that, day—! Soldiers from
both armies joined in wishing the
newlyweds just lots and lots of
luck as they left for a honey­moon
in Loachapoka, and in
throwing handfuls of rice upon
the embarrassed b r i d e and
groom.
Later, however, the.,,, Union
soldiers filed suit against., the.
soldiers of the Confederacy,- as^
serting that they had used loaded
rice at the wedding. This well-known
lawsuit is popularly call­ed
the "Union Suit."

Evaluation Of Teachers
. . Is Discussed By the Miami Hurricane
Some questions were raised
about how the system of student
ratings of instructors discussed in
a recent editorial would actually
work out. '
"How could you insure that an
honest appraisal of a teacher's
abilities would be obtained?" was
a frequent query.
' And "how about the student
who has an axe to grind?" was
another.
These, a n d other such ques­tion's,
are valid. But, we feel quite
certain that they are satisfact­orily
answerable.
It is certainly true that the stu­dent
who doesn't realize, or is
too selfish to realize, what the
student rating system would real­ly
mean in terms of better edu­cation
for him, may try to grind
a personal axe. He may reason
that since the instructor flunked
him, he'll get even and rate him
low on the questionaire.
But we feel certain that such
a student is in the definite min­ority—
so small a minority as to
be an unnimportant factor.
Naturally every student's opin­ion
of each instructor will differ-
Some will think he is great—
some the opposite.
The success of the entire oper­ation
depends largely upon the
questionnaire drawn up for the
rating.' If it is done correctly—
and we aren't acquainted with
that field at all except to know
that it is possible to draw up a
questionnaire t h a t will give a
maximum of honesty in answers
—then a good idea of the stu­dents'
opinion of the instructors'
abilities is ascertainable.
At the end of each semester,
the questionnaire would be filled
in by the students—anonymous­ly,
perhaps—and examined by a
eommittee of students a n d der
partment heads. The question­naire
will be constructed so as to

While I usually do not like to
write on a subject that will be
largely of interest to one group
of students, I feel justified in do­ing
so this week because the
subject I have chosen concerns a
large section of the student body.
I would like to address my col­umn
to fellow members of the
junior class.
Carrying out the proposed class
organization plan, the juniors
will have their first class meet­ing
on Tuesday, Nov. 15. This
meeting is of
the utmost im-p
o r tance be­cause
it will
provide the ba­sis
for future
class activities.
A number of
'important is­sues
must be
settled so that
work can pro­ceed.
A class pro­ject
must be decided upon. With
some goal to work toward, there
Will be an incentive to strive.
Plans must also be m a d e for
junior class participation in the
proposed interciass carnival. This
will not only provide entertain­ment,
but also give the classes an
opportunity to make some money
for the. treasuries.
Last week end several classes
held alumni meetings here. I am
prone to believe that those classes
that had a strong organization in
school also have strong alumni
groups.
At a meeting on October 25, the
sophomore class made progress in
setting up their class. The fresh­men
will elect officers tomorrow.
These two groups are going to be
a lot of competition to the jun­iors,
but that is a good thing.
Competitive systems always pro­duce
better products. By making
all classes work harder to excel
each other, competition will be­nefit
the school and students.
Juniors can hardly afford to
miss the class meeting. A raffle
will be held in which a number

Bottom Of
The Barref
By Roger McClarty
Pre-war normalcy is gradually
returning to the American colle­giate
scene with the gradual de­parture
of the bulk of older, vet­eran
students. The trend is ob­vious
now, and will be even imore
so with each succeeding fresh­man
class. Recent high school
graduates w i l l predominate as
they used to.
:-\ American col­leges
and uni­versities
h a ve
done ah excel­lent
and diffi­cult
job in tak­ing
care of the
e d u c a t i onal
needs of t he
thousands o f
older students,
who have tak-e
n advantage
of an v unpre-
McClarly cedented and
generous- "G.I. Bill."
Many of us haven't lived up to
our ' responsibilities, o r shown
sufficient gratitude by doing the
best work we were capable of. On
the other side of the ledger, many
prominent educators claim the
veterans have been the best stu­dents
ever, to attend American
colleges. That, of course, is an
individual matter.
What we do with our education
is not an- individual matter, alone,
however. A m e r i c a n society
should benefit as a result of the
training made ppssible, for many
of us, by our government.
What changes will schools have
to make in order to adjust to the
needs of the younger students?
The supposedly more mature vet­erans,
have worked on an acce­lerated
program. Is it fair to as­sume
that these younger boys
and girls are to absorb as much
from the quarter system as adults
eight to ten years their senior? I
don't think so, and it is no reflec­tion
on their ability as students.
The return to the semester sys-
_tem seems to be the logical an­swer.
The semester system will al­low
a sounder, more gradual
foundation for learning, especial­ly
during the first crucial year of
school. It will reduce the pres­sure
of over-worked faculties, al­lowing
them to give the students
more individual and effective in­struction.
Quality rather than
quantity will come back into
teaching. As a whole, American
education has been equal to the
challenge of abnormal war caus­ed
conditions, now it must meet
different needs.

In the past the aims and de­sires
of the student body have
been to secure an adequate
lighting system in the stadium,
suitable for pep rallies and night
ball games. V
Also quitte evident at every
ball game and event has been
the Lueic of an efficient public

These situations wijl be even
more noticeable since the stadium

and diligence I hope to
bring about the realization of
these projects, However, this can
only be accomplished through
the co-operation of the faculty
and our student body.
Gordon Haygood
Since there are 1400 members
of this year's freshman class and
it would be impossible to meet
each of you personally, I am
taking this opportunity to intro­duce
myself as a candidate for
class president.
My platform is .-small but • it
covers a large' area. First I want
to get our class more recognition
through the Student' Executive'
Cabinet. Second I want us to es-,
tablish a reputation of co-opera­ting
with the freshman advisor
'and with the upper classes in all
projects that would prove bene-(
ficial to our class and to the
school as a whole. Third, I want
us to get to know each other
well, because we will probably be
together for four years as under­graduates.
This can best be ac­complished
through f r e q u e nt
class meetings and social gather­ings.
A vote for me will be a vote
towards the organization of the
most active and spirited freshman
class in Auburn's^ recent history.
Your vote and influence will be
greatly appreciated.

The Class of '53 is the largest
class ever to enroll here at Au­burn.
Being the largest class, we
should be able to accomplish
more and distinguish ourselves
from the classes in the past as
well as those in the future.
It is my aim, in running for
president, to help in every way
I can to bring about a closer re­lationship
between the members
of the c|ass, to make a place for
our class in ail the extra-curricu­lar
work on the campus, and to
make so powerful a unit of our
class t h a t we may fulfill our
every objective.
4. Class action
These things can be accomplish­ed
by bringing the members of
the class together at least twice a
quarter for meetings to discuss
and t a k e action on any ideas,
thoughts, or suggestions that may
be brought up. The class should
be fully informed of any activity
on the campus concerning them,
and it is the duty of the presi-dent^
to see that this is done.
If elected, I would be glad to
go to bat for a n j \ suggestion or
complaint that should toe brought
to my attention. Onr Class of '53
should go into competition with
the Glasses of '54 and '5.2 a rrd
show that we have that ole spirit
that makes Auburn what it is.
A freshman hop at the end of
the year wouldn't be a bad idea*
at,all either. Should I be elected,
I'll work and fight for the Class
of '53 all the way.

No organization is stronger than
its weakest link. If I am elected
to represent you, I will do my
best to develop even the Weakest
link to give our school the strong­est
and best freshman class 'in
Unification, spirit and co-opera­tion
that our school has ever seen.
I will try to bring, you at least
one class sftcial function so that
all of us can become better ac­quainted
and work as a team.
It has been rather difficult to
meet all of you since my after>
noon hours have beeli devoted
to football, but I hope in the near
future to meet and know each
of the members of my class.
I urge ejich of you to vote to­morrow

be deeply appreciated. Thank you

As a member of the Class of

can we freshmen ex­ercise
a voice in campus affairs.
j feel confident that I can supply
the necessary leadership and
drive to accomplish this goal. A

Vice-President
Peyton Burford
On November 10, we freshmen
will hav& an opportunity to elect
the officers which will serve us
for' the" rest of the school year. In
#iis election it Will be to our best
interest to put into office not
only those who are the best
qualified, but also those who are
willing to use their qualifications
unsparingly to the best interests
of the freshmen class as a whole.
As to my qualifications as can­didate
for vice-president of the
freshman class, I was in the stu­dent
government in high school
for two years, class president for
three years, and salutatorian of
my graduating class.
If you elect me to the position
of vice-president, I plan to strive
for the following four objectives:
class unity," class recognition,
class functions, and class partici­pation
in campus activities.
This is one of the. largest fresh­man
classes ever to enroll at Au­burn.
If we c OJJ 1 d become or­ganized,
we could achieve recog-,
nition as the most outstanding
freshman class Auburn has yet
seen. I should l i k e to see our
class sponsor a project for the
year, have an annual prom, and
actively participate in all campus
activities. *
I think I have the qualifica­tions
to hold the office of vice-president,
so when you go to the
polls, remember Peyton Burford
and whoever wins, may he be the
best man for the job.

is known for its friendly atmos
phere, but I think we can make
it a friendlier campus. I*promise
to co,-operate with the president
that you elect and to support him
in his platform.
Remember the name "Jeanne
Johnson" for vice-president when
you vote and let's make the 1049
freshman class the best class Au­burn
has ever known.
Jack Kuykendall
Tomorrow, we of the Class of
'53 will be called upon to choose
our class officers. This is an im­portant
decision, and it should
not be taken lightly.
As a candidate for vice-presi­dent,
I offer a platform of hard
work and class unity. I believe
that this office should be more
of a job than a position, and, if
elected, I stand ready to roll up
my sleeves and go to work. I in­tend
to aid the president in every
possible way, and sdso to use my
own initiative in the organiza­tion
of our class. A vote for Jack
Kuykendall tomorrow will be a
vote for a h a r d worker and a
strong freshman class.
Gloria Lucky
During .the next few weeks we,
the members of the • freshman
idass, will be busy in an impor­tant'
undertaking, that of setting
up our class organization, This is
especially important because of
the fact that we will be together
for the next four years. What we
do now will be, the precedent of
our class for these remaining
years, For this reason I urge you
to choose well your class officers.
If elected, I will do my utmost
to achieve our common goals and
look after the common interest
of our class. Firmly believing,
that I have the necessary quali­fications
to act as your class vice-president,
I will appreciate any
support that you may give me.
But no matter whom you support,
exercise your privilege and vote..
Anne Slollenwerck
As a Candidate for vice-presi­dent
of the freshman- class, I
would like to give you some idea
of what I "stand for and a.few
ideas of what I hope to accom­plish,
if elected. The functions of
vice-president of a class are se­condary;
yet the office has its im­portant
phases. It will be my aim,
if elected, to assist y'our choice
for president in every job and
plan he undertakes. It will be my
endeavor to work with the other
officers as a team to work toward
a goal that will make each of us
proud to be a freshman.
We all need the support of each
of you eligible to vote. Only by
your vote will we have the power
to represent and act for you. Any
vote you cast for me will be ap­preciated,

I would like to tell you what I
shall try to do if I am elected.
This office carries with it many
responsibilities, the"main.one be­ing
to keep accurate minutes of
the meetings held.
If I am elected I will aid the

class, I have as objectives these
things:
1. To endeavor to transcribe ac­curately
all events and to records
to the best of my ability, the ac­tions
of the class.
2. To co-operate to the fullest
extent with ojtrjer class officers
and members in anything which
is undertaken by them.
Helen Nefhery
I am a first quarter freshman
in education from Birmingham
and am interested in serving Au­burn
as secretary-treasurer of the
freshman class. I graduated from
Phillips High School, where I was
a member of the National Honor
Society and other organizations.
During my high school career I
held various offices in session
rooms, as well as other classes,
including president, vice-presi­dent,
secretary and treasurer.
Now that I h a v e graduated
from Phillips High I will follow
my interest in A.P.tJay doing all
I can for the welfare of all its
students and fey upholding my
past record' during my future col­lege
years. My heart's desire is
to serve Auburn as secretary-treasurer
of the freshman class
by giving my full co-operation, to
the president, other officers, and
Other .students of the class.

of freshman representative to the
Student Executive Cabinet, I will
do my best to represent you to
the best of my ability. I will con­tact
you on every important mat­ter

Lindsey Clark
I would like to express my ap'
preciation for this means of
bringing to you, Classmates,
what I feel for the freshman class
for which I seek to represent on
your Student Executive Cabinet.
I desire rb-bring the freshman
class closer ^together in its work

and projects should be sup­ported
by a strong and interested
freshman class. '
I plan to represent our fresh­man
class in' a way that will pro­mote
the class and bring recogni­tion
»to the freshman class of
1949.
Fred Robert Dobbs
I am a candidate for freshmaA.
representative Jo the Student
Executive Cabinet. I realize the
importance of this position, as it
involves representing bne of the
largest and, what I think to be
the best, freshman classes in
the history of Auburn. We have
the potentialities of producing
the most closely knit freshman
class that has been on this cam­pus
for a great number of years.
It is to this great Class of '53 that
I offer my services, and I would
appreciate your confidence in me
by putting a check to the left
of Dobbs in the coming election.
Let's all get out anoVvote, get­ting
our great Class of '53 off to
a good start.
Joe House
I do not pretend to be a poli­tician,
and I won't make any rash
campaign promises, but if I am
elected I will do everything in
my power to see that freshmen
are well represented in school
government.
I also intend to see that every
freshman is well informed on
campus events and .. problems.
This c a n be done by close co­operation
with the freshman
president and by the holding of
class meetings. I want to see the
freshman class spirit reactivated
in every way possible and make
our Class of 1953 rival the '54 and
'52 classes.
Tommy Johnson
As a candidate for freshman
representative to the Student
Executive Cabinet, it is my in­tent
to help make the Class of
1953 the most outstanding of all
classes on t h i s campus of the
past and for some time to come.
With this as an a i i n , strong
class organization and unity be­comes
a necessity. I feel confi­dent
that our class, with its
strength and spirit, can develop
these qualities to the fullest ex­tent.
George McCauley
We are striving, for a greater
Auburn. To do this we must have
greater co-operation b e t w e en
the student body and the faculty.
We as members of the freshman
class are entrusted with the re­sponsibility
of making Auburn
one of the greatest schools in the
nation. In order to do this, the
support of the student body must
be obtained.
The student center is a result
of representation of the student
body to the faculty. Through
| good representation we can build
to the prestige of a greater school.
Fred Osborn
As a candidate for freshman
representative to the Student
Executive Cabinet, I stand for the
following things:
1. Strong class organization, that
is imperative for a working group.
2. Adoption of a class projeet'
that all freshmen can take part
in—one that will be of benefit to
our class and to the entire sGhool.
3. Furtherance of Class and
school spirit and campus friend­liness.
To accomplish these things,
unity of class is essential. I would
like to serve as your representa­tive
in order to make unity and
strong organization a reality. ;
Julian Peferman
Oh Thursday, Nov. 11, the
freshman class will go to the
polls to elect its officers for the
coming year. Since these posi­tions
are beginning to take their
rightful place in the Auburn Stu­dent
Government Association, it
will be necessary to elect those
whom you think are best quali­fied
to represent the class as a
whole. *
In becoming a candidate for
the office of freshman represen­tative
to the Student Executive
Cabinet, I ask your approval on
my holding this position.
Of all the freshman -offices, I
feel that the position of repre­sentative

freshman voice in student affairs.

and, if elected, will work hard
for the best interests of my class.
Choose carefully when you
vote and please give the name of
Julian Peterman consideration
when you vote for-representative.

goal; this goal is to bring
back to the Auburn campus a
system of unified classes. Only
through class unity can the pro­posed
"Greater Auburn Spirit" be
realized.
y Let us not lose sight of this
fact in the election Tuesday, Nov.
15. Let Us choose the candidates
for whom we vote carefully; let

unequalled.

6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nov. 9,1949 TIDWELL SCORES FIRST T.D. INSTATE RIOT
Tiger Topics By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
The aftermath o f a Homecoming celebration a l w a y s
brings to light certain oddities and occurences worthy of
comment or explanation. This year's gala affair featured its
share of material with plenty to spare.
The west stand offered a fine vantage point for observing
the greatest student body show in Auburn h i s t o r y . And
there's nothing in the Way of praise that isn't deserved by
students who formed that cheering throng. Every cheer rang
long and strong. Many an old-grad got goose pimples from
those thunderous "WAR EAGLES."
, Displaying fine co-operation belittling the absence of any
practice sessions, the placard section adtjed a great deal of
color to t h e cheering efforts. Only t h e last attempted display
lacked full participation . . . the top few rows evidently failed
to get the signal.
Empty seats—two sections of them—on the north side of
the east stand caused comment from those who understood a
sellout was achieved. The void resulted from the usual con­fusion
of student ticket sales. State has no pre-game student
sale such as is held by Auburn therefore no accurate esti­mation
as to the number of State rooters could be made and
the reserved tickets went unclaimed.
Desiring to provide the most convenient sideline place­ment
for his squad, Coach Brown chose t h e west side, there­by
placing the sun to his back. Such a situation frequently
occurs, but it never fails to baffle those who view a^football
t e am as closely allied w i t h its supporting student body.
Who was responsible for goal post decorations? Home­coming
games usually f e a t u r e such an u n d e r t a k i n g . . . a l i t t le
thing, perhaps, but nonetheless noticeable.
Coach Shot Senn remarked before the game that he was
glad to see the stout fence surrounding t h e n ew stadium, for
s t r a y dogs could be kept off the playing field. Well, some en-
- t e r p r i s i n g pooch paraded down the t r a c k just prior to game
time arrogantly defying authority.
Evidently the dedication committee didn't realize just
how colossal a project they were presenting. At any rate their
words failed to reach the intended ears due to an under­powered
amplifying system.
Maybe it Was the splendid show put on by the band that
made the time flit past . . . but half time certainly was short.
I t looked for a moment as though the officials were to have
a part in the ceremony.
Baby Tigers Meet Ga. Tech Frosh
In Hare Stadium Friday At 2 P. M.
By J. C. Sellers
Cliff Hare Stadium will be the scene of a second football
fray in a week when t h e Tiger frosh trot on t h e field Friday.
Facing the Cubs will be the plebes from Georgia Tech. The
b a t t l e begins at 2 p.m.
Since the Yellowjackets will field one *>f t h e i r strongest
freshman squads in years and the
Baby Tigers are a well-coordi­nated
team with plenty of spirit,
the enccnjnter should be "one for
the books" if previous perform­ances
are any indication. The
Cubs defeated the Bullpups, 14-7,
in a cli|se duel, while Techmen
were upset by the 'Bama frosh,
13-7. ' ...
The A.P.I, freshmen have been
working hard the past week in
having an edge on the defensive
duties. t- •
The outlook in the backfield
has been both/good and bad. One
of the brighter spots was the
marked improvement of quarter­back
Don Phillips. Another shin­ing
light has been the running of
fullback Jack Langford.

Independent Play
Hampered By Rain
Rain disrupted the independent
touch football schedule last week
as only half of the games were
played. It was the first time this
season' that rain had interefered
with the schedule. The rained-out
games will be replayed at the
end of the ^regular season.
The Mountaineers rolled over
the luckless Brewers, 25 to 0, to
feature League 1 play. The Moun­taineers
scored with apparent ease
with Creel, Vann, and Davis sup­plying
the scoring punch.
The Navy unleashed a long-awaited
touchdown a t t a c k and
swamped the Barracks, 19 to 6.
In the only league game played
in League II, the Kings downed
the Boys, 12 $to /0. Lovelace
scored both touchdowns for the
Kings. «
This week t h e independent
teams will play the full seven
game schedule.
Some deem it corny—but it's
most effective—that ole ^college
try." Whether the team, the
.school, or the unfalteringly loyal
student body profits most by Sat'
urdpy's victory is open to debate
. . . but the team wonit primar­ily
for Coach Earl Brown. Cap­tain
Ralph Pyburn and Alt. Capt.
Coker Barton hoisted the popular
head coach to their shouldefs and
led a triumphant march of
shoulder-borne coaches into the
field house.
Everybody entered, but some
had difficulty in making their
exit from the new stadium . . .
quite a few fans, many of them
gro\vn-ups, egressed by climbing
through windows of the ticket
booths. Others seem to have
squeezed through the bars beside
the gates. According to blue­prints,
there are sufficiently
numerous exits to make for a
quick emptying of the east stand.
Dusk settled and the stands
were silent as sports writers typ­ed
out their accounts of the af­ternoon's
great exhibition. The

Leading Leagues
By Marie English
Semi-finals in the girl's volley­ball
tournament played last week
indicated that the probable final­ists
will be Delta Zeta, from
League I, and Chi Omega, from
League II. Both teams have won
four games and lost. none. ^
InA games played Monday, Oct.
31, Chi Omega troynced Alpha
Gam, 43-21, and AOPi downed
Susan Smith Cottage, 36-33.
Susan Smith got back on the
win sheet by defeating Auburn
Hall, 35-24, on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
Delta Zeta took an easy 51-23
victory from Theta U, while Kap­pa
Delta forfeited a game in fa­vor
of Alpha Gam. Chi O took
League II's lead from AOPi by
the margin of 37-19.
On Wednesday a strong Delta
Zeta team romped over Phi Mu,
65-17, to place them on top in
League I. ADPi won from Theta
U, 35-22. Two games were for­feited—
Alumni Hall to Dorm IV, •
and Kappa Delta to Auburn Hall.
Thursday's games resulted in,
45-26 victory for Alumni Hall over
Phi Mu, and a forfeit by Theta
U to Dorm IV.
Finals will be played Tuesday,
Nov. 8, through Thursday, at 4
p.m. in Alumni Gym. Members of
the winning team will receive

Improved Tigers Invade Columbus Saturday To Battle Bulldogs
Memorial Stadium To Be Scene of 53rd
Renewal of GrkI Series; Kickoff 2 P.M.
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
Memorial Stadium in "Columbus, Ga., plays host Saturday
for t h e fifty-third renewal of the South's oldest grid rivalry.
Squaring off at 2 p.m. EST, t h e A u b u r n Tiger ahd t h e G e o r g ia
Bulldog will pit thefr most evenly-matched elevens of many
LANGNER RACES TO THE STATE 10 YARD LINE
a year.
Having tasted victory for the
first time in 19 conference starts,
the revitalized Tigers of Coach
Earl Brown have buckled down
to a rugged practice grind for
Saturday's tilt. Georgia, smarting
under the burden of their five
losses this season, is likewise
prepping earnestly for t h e al­ways-
rugged Columbus battle.
A spirited battle is in prospect
as the Plainsmen seek revenge
for a 42-14 drubbing from t he
Georgians last year. Coach Wally
Butts has the highest regard for
the Tiger's prowness. He, too, re­calls
the stunning 27-14 defeat
his Rose-bound, Sinkwich-led ag­gregation
underwent in 1942.
Tigers Eager
Victory added much- to the
Tiger cause, and team spiriLis at
a new high for the crucial Georg­ia
contest. Physically the Plains­men
fall short of their homecom­ing
peak. Soph •• standout Bobby
Briggs is definitely sidelined and
regular Right Halfback Johnny
Wallis is nursing a painfully
charley-horsed leg suffered in
the State game.
Bill Waddail, Jim Mcgowen,
and Frank Hayes saw action
against the Maroons and are ful­ly
ready for Georgia.
Having finished atop the SEC
pile last season, the Bulldogs
were picked to finish fifth this
year. Starting the season w i th
three non-conference opponents,
the Athenians won two and lost
one. Furman felt the Bulldog bite
27-7, and Chattanooga was steam-rolled
42-6 before "Choo Choo"
Justice and company stopped the
Bulldogs 21-14.
A 7-0 decision over the strong
L.S.U. Bengals stands as the lone
SEC Georgia victory. They have

last Saturday.
Coach Butts, now in his
eleventh yesr as head mentor for
the Georgia team, lost 14 mem­bers
of the 1948 squad that won
nine and l o s t one to rate an
Orange Bowl bid.
Quarterback Johnny R a u c h
heads the list of absentees. Rauch
was named on three All-Ameri-can
teams. Filling his shoes was
t h e greatest problem facing
Coach Butts, and the job fell to
Ray Prosperi, a 185 pound junior
who saw but little action as a
Rauch understudy.
In the fullback slot Al Bodine
a' n d John TiHitski returned to
make this position the strongest
in the Bulldog backfield. Billy
Mixon, fleet-footed junior and
Zippy Morocco, sophomore, are
the big guns in the Georgia of­fensive
setup along with Lukie
Brunson and Bill Henderson.
Only at the guards did gradu­ation
strike the Bulldog heavily.
Such stalwarts from last year as
Bob Walston, Gene Lorendo, Por­ter
Payne, Tommy Pope, Joe

are on hand to lend experience
to the sophomore-studded Geor­gia
reserves.

fotball as a part of the sports
activity at Auburn. Coached by
Dr. George Petrie, the Auburns
thus took the opener of a series
that now stands 26-21 in the Bull­dog's
favor. Five games ended in
tie scores-all of them being of
the 0-0 variety.
The largest score ever run up
by a Georgia eleven on Auburn
was the 41-0 drubbing-adminis­tered
J n , ,1948 w'^'en Halfback
CWrffiri*-aTrippf roamed' the
'greensward for the dndefeated
team that went, on to whip North
Carolina 20-10 in the Sugar Bowl
classic.
Auburn's biggest victory was a
44-0 decision in 1900 under the
leadership of Captain D. S. Mar­tin.
Beginning in 1923 the Plaiiys-meii
won nine straight from the
Bulldogs. Since their 1942 upset
of the Georgians, the Tigers have
crossed the pay dirt marker but
five times in bow:ng in five con­secutive
contests.
This year's battle is slated as.
a "toss-up" between- the two
fierce rivals. History proves this
annual scrap to be one of the
more rugged of SEC "must"
games and this one has all the
earmarks of being a slam-bang
thriller.
The only common opponent for
these feuding elevens is the Uni­versity
of Florida. Here the Tiger
claims the edge-having tied the
'Gator 14-14 while the Bulldog
bowed 7-28.

Tigers Topple Mississippi State
By 25-6 Margin In Homecoming Tilt
/ i' * • - «••. • ,
By Stuait Stephenson, Jr.
Victory, long the most eagerly-sought prey for Earl
Brown's scrappy Tigers, was realized in a convincing 25-6
manner^ In the book of perfect days, November 5 will long
r a n k as tops for Auburn men and women. %
Even the' w e a t h e r m a n conspired to provide an ideal setting
for the Lovelies^ Village's day of
days. It was strictly "big time" xor
the thousands of Auburn devotees
from the spirited and colorful sta­dium
backdrop, TO the thrilling
play of each and every wearer of
the orange and blue who out-.,
played a Mississippi State eleven
all the way.
Tigers Entirely
The score reads 25-6. But 20,000
Georgia-eyeing fans know this to
be an understatement of the Ti­ger's
performance. No less than
four touchdowns were nullified
by- penalties or eagle-eyed offi­ciating.
The Plainsmen score* i n w e r jr
period—and in almost every pos­sible
manner. Tidwell slammed
center for a yard and a TD before
the game was five minutes old.
Thus the Tiger crossed the Ma­roon
goal for the first time since
1944.
• Bogging down on the State 22,
the cunning Tiger resorted to the
educated foe of Bill Tucker to
chalk up t h r e e more points.
Against the wind, Tucker nerve­lessly
booted a 40-yard beauty of
a field goal.
A spectacular catch of a Tucker
pass by Erk Russell, in the end
zone close by the out-of-bounds
stripe, thrilled the stands but
didn't dent the record book.
Tidwell scured again on the first
play of the. fourth quarter with a
three-yard d i v e into gloryland.
Bulldozing Charlie' Langner, the
original hard-luck guy, rammed
the line twice and made good a
two-yard struggle for points in
the third quarter. Langner cut
loose with electrifying runs of 34
and 15 yards across the paydirt
line only to have penalties erase
the results, but definitely not the
thrill, of his efforts.
/ Calvin "Red" Emmert, fleet-footed
Texan, on his first play of
the season, gathered in a Tidwell
toss in the end zone. This one was
no good because of a clipping
penalty.

tion to fouling up Maroon hack-field
procedure all afternoon, nail­ed
Quarterback Cooley to the turf
behind State's goal and netted two
more points for the Plainsmen.
Defense Shines
Not to be outdone by "the of­fensive
speed exploded by Tiger
backs, a gang of determined line­men
refused to give way to Ma­roon
attempts. The result: State
netted 20 yards for their 31 terra
firma trys, fumbled and lost the
ball four times, and, in general,
got nowhere.
Decidedly deadly was the work
Q£_Arnold Fagen, Virgil. Willett,
Bill McGfuire, Jim Brooks, John
Adcock and Frank Hayes. The
forward wall work horses have
only to turn in repeaters of Sat­urday's
effectiveness to assure ad­ditional
entries in the Tiger win
column.
S State completed eight of seven­teen
aerials and had three inter­cepted.
A 77-yard pass play, Rich­ardson
to Cooley, accounted for
the Mississippians' lone tally and
provided a stunning last play of
the first half.
Tidwell Stars
For the third time in his col­lege
career, Travis Tidwell polled
first place of ballots cast by sports
writers and radio announcers to
win the annual Blue Key trophy
for Homecoming Day's best play­er.
Tidwell was every inch an all-time
great. He accounted for 223
yards of the 372 netted by the
Plainsmen, and twelve of the 25
points. The means of achievement,
rather than the achievement, was
the major factors in the eyes of
the voters. Apparently bottled up
repeatedly, far back of the scrim­mage,
line, Tidwell maneuvered,
jumped, bucked, and spun his way
clear of would-be tacklers, in giv­ing
one of his finest of many fine
football exhibitions.
Injuries Again
Lost for the remainder of the
season is Halfback Bobby Briggs.
A .broken collarbone prevents fur­ther
competition for this promis­ing
L e n o i r , N. J., sophomore.
Briggs has scored three times this
year as a pass receiver, and ac­cording
to Coach Brown, ". . . was
developing rapidly as a ball car­rier."

Jim McGowen got off several
lengthy punts to add to the Tiger
cause. Bill Waddail,- too, added to
the attack. Both saw action for the
first time since returning from
the cripple list, and will be count­ed
on heavily when the Tigers
grapple the Bulldogs next week
in Columbus.
The Auburns were ready, they
m
were overdue to win; and they
came through in grand style.
