SYRGLEY ADDRESSES
EDUCATION GROUP
"One by one, free nations of
the world are falling," Dr. T. Q.
Srygley, director of the division
of instruction of the Florida Edu­cation
Department, told Auburn
students in an address here Wed­nesday,
July 13.
Appearing under the auspices
of the Herzfeld Lecture Fund,
which has been established by
Harry Herzfeld, Alexander City,
a graduate of the class of 1897,
Dr. Srygiey said that China, once
a hope of democracy in Asia, has
gone the way of Eastern Europe.
The speaker reviewed the scien­tific
and intellectual progress of
Germany up until 1900, and point­ed
out that the chief cause of her
fall was due to the fact that her
people knew nothing of demo­cracy.
"Russia has adopted an attitude
similar to that which Germany
once had, but her ideology is even
more uncompromisable," he said.
He pointed out that the Ger­mans
are astonished now that we
are helping them to rebuild their
country, and at the same time are
educating their people along de­mocratic
lines.
Executive Cabinet Approves Proposal
To Elect Advisor to City Commission
The Student Executive Cabinet at its meeting Thursday,
July 14, adopted a recommendation from Robert Windham,
chairman of the Student Relations Committee, for the .elec­tion
of a student advisor to the Auburn City Commission.
The recommendation was presented in the following
letter: £
6 July 1949
Student Executive Cabinet
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
Auburn, Alabama
Dear Sirs:
It is recommended that the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute Stu­dent
Executive Cabinet elect a
"Student Advisor to the City Com­mission"
whose duties will be as
follows:
1. To represent the A.P.I, stu­dent
body before the Auburn
City Commission in all matters
» involving students and towns­people,
and
2. To speak for them when­ever
any act of legislation con­cerning
the students is proposed
by the City Commission.
3. To report the proceedings
of each Auburn City Comhiis-sion
meeting to the student
body through a weekly column
in the "Plainsman."
' It is proposed that this man
shall be a member of the Student
Relations Committee so that he
may hear student grievances as
may arise from the student body.
Two methods of selection of the
student advisor are proposed:
1. That he be elected by the
Student Executive-Cabinet, and
2. That he be elected by stu­dent
vote in the spring elections.
This would be left to the discre­tion
of the Executive Cabinet.
The purpose of this student Ad-
Bob Windham
visor is to eliminate some of the
existing ill feelings between the
students and townspeople and to
unite their efforts toward a great­er
and more spirited Auburn.
Yours truly,
Robert H. Windham

Speak To All You Meet
Auburn Cavalrymen
Train At Ft. Meade
Summer Camp
By Gilmer Blackburn
Thirty-eight advanced armored
cavalry students from Auburn are
attending the summer ROTC
camp at Fort Meade, Md. These
students are part of the 1300
ROTC students who are taking
instructions in the various bran­ches
of the army this summer.
The group from Auburn is a part
of the two armored cavalry comp­anies
stationed here.
The first week at Meade was
spent getting acquainted with the
various small arms of an armored
cavalry unit. These arms consis­ted
of the M-l rifle, the carbine,
the grease gun and the 45 auto­matic
pistol. The second week
was spent on the range firing the
various arms studied the first
week. The group from Auburn
ranked high among the top scor­ers.
The following week the comp­any
moved out to Camp Hill, a
military post about ninty miles
from Fort Meade. At Camp Hill
they fired the big guns of the
cavalry. The camp consisted of
regular field squad huts, no hot
water, no showers, and plenty of
mosquitoes.
The big guns of the armored
cavalry consisted of the 75mm.
76mm., and 105mm. The students
fired and adjusted fire for these
guns.
After the week on the big gun
range the students began the
week of studying tactics. The Au­burn
group will return to Fort
Meade when the week of tactics
is completed and will remain
there for the remainder of the
summer camp.
The troops from Auburn with
the help of the cadets from the
University of Georgia have been
doing a very good job of keep­ing
the yankees in line and up?
holding the rebel tradition.
Coach Earl Brown
Continues Search
For Line Coach
A line coach to replace Walter
Marshall on the ^Auburn coach­ing
staff is still being sought by
Head Coach Earl Brown, but as
yet no suitable replacement has
been found.
Marshall's resignation a little
over two weeks ago came as a
surprise to Brown, and the fact
that most top-notch line coaches
in the country have already sign­ed
contracts for the coming sea­sons
leaves him little or no choice
in a selection.
Coach Brown told The Plains­man
at the Field House early this
week that he may have to take
over the job of coaching the line,
in addition to his other duties, if
he is unable to find an acceptable
replacement for Marshall.
Now in Philadelphia, Marshall
is engaging in a summer business
enterprise and will coach at a
large eastern high school this' fall.

To Conduct Polls
On Student Views
Alpha Phi Omega service fra­ternity
is now conducting a stu­dent
opinion poll which will be a
regular feature in The Plainsman
beginning with next week's issue.
Each member of the organization
has a quota of students to contact
and from whom to secure opinions
a n d statements on pertinent
topics.
On questions which require
merely a "Yes-No" answer, opin­ions
will be classified according to
the student's status in class and
school. The most appropriate rea­sons
for opinions advanced by stu­dents
may be quoted. It is antici­pated
that over one thousand stu­dents
will be contacted for sta­tistics
on this type poll.
On questions of a different na­ture
which require an answer
other than "yes" or "no", the best
statements from students partici­pating
in the poll will be present­ed.
The topic of the poll being con­ducted
now is "Do you approve of
evaluation of instructors by stu­dents
on the Auburn campus?"
Results of the poll will appear in
next week's Plainsman. Other
questions will be presented week­ly
throughout the quarter.

will in turn give the
school spirit we need.
HEY DAY will give us a good
chance to meet and know the stu­dents
we meet on the street. The
wall of indifference that is grow­ing
up among students will be
broken. However, HEY DAY alone
cannot accomplish this purpose.
The biggest part of HEY DAY is
left up to the students. We must
speak to everyone we meet on the

Only Time Will TeH
For the past decade and especially since
World War II Auburn students have been
clammering for some form of representa­tion
on the governing body of the city of
Auburn. Now they have a form of repre­sentation.
At the meeting of the Student
Executive Cabinet last week a resolution
calling for the establishment of a "Student
Advisor to the Auburn City Commission"
was adopted by the Cabinet. According to
the resolution which was adopted, the ad­visor
will "represent the A.P.I, student
body before the Auburn City Commission
in all matters involving stutlents" and will
"speak for them" on any proposal which
might Come before the commission. The ad­visor
will be elected in the spring quarter
elections and he will report the proceed­ings
of each meeting in The Plainsman.
The cabinet went a step further by ap­pointing
Bob Windham, the author of the
resolution, as the city advisor. This was a
wise move, as Windham has worked hard
trying to establish some form of repre­sentation
for the students and should be
able to present students' problems very
satisfactorily.
However, despite the fact that Auburn
students will have a special representative
on the city commission, we do not think
that the students should become too en­thusiastic
over the influence he will have
in city affairs. Although we are confident
that the advisor will do all in his power
to plead the cause of the student body, we
believe that he lacks the power and au­thority
which he must have to be effec­tive
in his dealings with the city. Actually
the authority which the advisor will have
is no more than any other student on cam­pus
has had in the past. He merely sits in
on the meetings and makes recommenda­tions
to the commission when he desires—
a right which any Auburn student has al­ways
had.
The advisor may present his cause as
often as he sees fit, but this is the right of
any citizen or student of Auburn. We have
already seen how the city fathers shun the
pleas of the students. Last spring when the
proposed city amusement tax was being
mapped out, a large,number of students
went to a mass meeting and fought the tax
in every way possible. Yet their pleas fell
on deaf ears and the tax was immediately
enacted. In reality they possessed the same
authority of the city advisor, yet their ef­forts
were ineffective.
We do not intend to underestimate the
work of the Cabinet or Advisor Windham
in this editorial, but we do feel that the
students should not be led to believe that
they have gained an effective voice in their
dealings with the City of Auburn. We
hope that Advisor Windham will be able
to obtain the desires of the student body as
we feel that he is well qualified to repre­sent
the students and that he will do
everything possible for the Auburn student
body. The Plainsman offers the advisor
and the Cabinet our whole-hearted support
on any measure which will bring about a
better relationship between the students
and the citizens of Auburn. But will the
Student Advisor be able to achieve this
through the City Commission? Only time
will tell.
The College Editor
A perusal of college newspapers of many
different schools over a period of time
would show that the college editorialist
frequently falls prey to a feeling of futility.
He learns that a reformer is never liked
whether his reform is successful or a fail­ure.
He finds that he has made a rapid
turnover of friends.
He knows that few care or will long re­member
his work. He expects his inten­tions
to be misinterpreted, no matter how
obvious the motivation for his acts may be.
He feels like tossing in the towel fifty
times in as many days. He says: "What's
the use?" The minute he gives in to his own
inclinations for peace, he places himself
beneath the sod. If he stops and looks over
his problems and his troubles in a quizi-cal
fashion, he feels the old animosity stir
within him and realizes what a life it
would be if someone wouldn't disagree and
there was nothing to fight about;
There need be no envy for the college
editorialist who is a flag pole sitter for
two semesters and permits the rest of the
world and the campus to go by without
molestation. The boys who have the fun
Take Part In Hey-Day
At one time Auburn was known as the
"friendliest college in the United States."
Yet now that our campus for the first
quarter since the war is not overcrowded,
our school spirit is far below the level of
those years when the Auburn spirit was
acclaimed as the most outstanding among
colleges in the country.
What is the cause in this lack of friend­liness
and school spirit which can be seen
daily here at Auburn? The answer to this
question can be found without much
trouble. We have simply become so clan­nish
in our activity on the campus that we
neglect to observe one simple courtesy-speaking!
If we truly believe in Auburn and want
to advance Auburn through this and all
other crises, the least we can do is to take
time to speak to outJellaw students. It is
are those who never know just how long
they will have their scalps, who laugh and
defy the bigots and moth-eaten vester in­terests,
who openly flaunt the epitaphs
which have been written for them in ad­vance,
and who take matters seriously
without becoming over serious.
Although this college problem child
arouses the good wholesome hatred of
many students, he still has a few staunch
friends who are large enough to overlook
his hastiness, his faux pas now and then,
the seemingly insane and meaningless
editorials he sometimes provides, and his
somewhat blind adherence to his own pe­culiar
code.
One consolation, however, makes up the
lost peace and sleek contentment. This
peculiar collegian reaches the point when
he realizes that his most important
writings and bad setbacks will make ex­cellent
material for smiles in the not too
distant future.

complete a task so simple, how can
we expect to even begin the greater ones?
Those of you who might have forgotten
the joy of giving a friendly greeting to
your schoolmate will have the chance to­morrow
to re-establish one of Auburn's
greatest traditions. FOR TOMORROW IS
HEY-DAY—the day when all Auburn stu­dents
must speak to everyone they meet.
Tomorrow is the day that we can and must
begin to rebuild that famous old Auburn
spirit.

t h a t a Com­munist
instruc­tor
should re­frain
from us­ing
his position
as a training
ground for in­stilling
t h a t
system's beliefs
i n t o impress-i
o n a b 1 e stu­dents'
minds.
The AAUP argues, logically, that
a citizen of our democratic country
should not be condemned for his
practices in private life, so long as
he does not let them enter into his
professional status. The organiza­tion
joins such institutions as Yale
and Princeton in coming out
against NEA's recommendation for
the proposed witch hunt.
Through the work of the Stu­dent
Relations Committee, ar­rangements
have been made to
open the swimming pool in Alum­ni
Gym every Tuesday and Thurs­day
night for the remainder of the
quarter.
The pool will be open from 7
to 9 p. m. and swimming will be
supervised and chaperoned by a
member of the PE department.
This move is a big boost to acti­vities
on the campus this summer,
and to effective methods for beat­ing
the heat, if only temporarily.
Although the pool can only ac­comodate
a small number of
swimmers, the project will be
beneficial if managed well.
The Student Relations Com­mittee
deserves "thanks" from all
students who' have been missing
an opportunity to practice their
favorite strokes this summer.

from the institute, he will remain
in the L.V.O.T.P. and set up
housekeeping on College Street.
He plans to spend the daytime

barber shop and is dickering with
the adjoining furniture store for
a display window bed in which to
pass the night. This is heartening
news, for Denvard has grown to
be a landmark in this section of

One of the biggest and saddest
news stories of last week was the
plane crash north of Bombay, In­dia,
in which 13 U. S. newsmen
were killed. Among the dead
were H. R. Knickerbocker, of
radio station WOR, New York, and
S. Burton Heath, of the Newspaper
Enterprise Association. Those two
had won Pulitzer prizes for news
reporting.
It is indeed tragic when one
accident takes so many outstand­ing
journalists from a profession
which needs them.

Legislature Report By Kirk Jordan
The Alabama state legislature
was opened last Tuesday morn­ing
with a denunciation of Gov.
James E. Folsom from the floor
of the senate. The outburst came
from Sen. Bruce Henderson of
Wilcox County over the matter of
a labor bill pertaining to his na­tive
county of Wilcox.
The governor vetoed Hender­son's
"little Taft-Hartley law,"
but the senate voted 26-6 to over­ride
the veto. The senator label­ed
the governor as a man who
wants to stamp
his will on the
legislature and
legislate him­self.
Continuing its
a nti-adminis-tration
w a y s,
the senate kil­led
two execu-t
i v e amend­ments
to raise
the retirement
Jordan pay of the state
Supreme Court justices and Court
of Appeals justices. Administra­tion
foes claimed that Governor
Folsom was trying to influence
the courts with these increases.
The lower house encountered
little difficulty in Tuesday's ses­sion
as it passed more than forty
non-controversial bills. This num­ber
included a great many of bills
in regard to local legislation.
The legislature endorsed a pro­posal
that the United Nations be
given additional power to pre­vent
war among nations of the
world. Both houses quickly ap­proved
a resolution introduced by
Rep. Larry Dumas of Jefferson,
recommending this action to the
state lawmakers. The resolution
suggests that the U.N. be stren­gthened
and transformed into
federal world government with
the power to make and enforce
laws to promote peace.
A bill doing away with federal
rent controls as of May 10, 1950
cleared the legislature Friday.
The rent de-control measure, al­ready
approved by the house,
passed the senate by a vote of 17
to 13 with little debate. An
amendment later accepted by the
house was added to change the
effective date from January to
May 10. ;.jf:-;,'
Governor Folsom has already
said that he is against the theory
of price controls and it is pre­dicted
that he will sign the mea­sure.
On Friday Governor Folsom
came before the lower house to
push his $80,000,000 road bond
proposal. The governor explained
that one of the objectives to the
bond issue was the fact that the
voters would not have a chance
to say whether or not they want­ed
such a road building program.
He predicted that the voters want
"nothing less than a $80,000,000
issue" and would probably sup­port
one costing considerably
more than the proposal now fac­ing
the state lawmakers.
Another local bill caused much
excitement in the senate last Fri­day.
The bill was a Franklin
County measure which seeks to
change the present board of reve­nue
to a five-man commission,
each member elected from a com­missioner's
district.
Opponents charge that the
change wil turn the county over
to Republicans who have polled
majorities in three of the propos­ed
districts. The bill has already
passed the house.
Executive Cabinet Minute
July 14, 1949
The meeting was opened by
Acting President Harry Knowles.
The roll was called and the fol­lowing
members were found to
be absent: Frances Cooper, Lewis
Johnson, and Herbert Kohn.
Joe Moore, Chairrnjan of the
Pep Committee, presented his pep
program for the coming year. The
program was approved by the
Cabinet.
Bob Windham, chairman of the
Student Relations Committee, an­nounced
that his committee com­prised
of the following: Curt
Presley, Jimmy F l o y d , Zip
Chambers, and Bob Swift. These
were approved by the cabinet.
Windham also announced the
following:
(1) That his committee had ob­tained
the use of the A.P.I, swim­ming
pool for students every
Tuesday and Thursday night;
(2) That a letter was submitted
to the Council of Deans concern­ing
the practice of certain profes­sors
starting classes on the hour;
(3) That his committee had in­vestigated
the possibility of hav­ing
a representative of the stu­dent
body to advise the Auburn
City Commission on matters per­taining
to students. Having made
this investigation, Windham sub­mitted
the following recommen­dation:
(see article on Student
Advisor on page 1).
John Hembree presented a mo­tion
that the Student Advisor
to the City Commission be elect­ed
by the Cabinet for the present
and hereafter be elected in the
campus-wide elections in the
spring. The motion was seconded
and passed unanimously.
George Mann was appointed to
investigate the possibility of ap­pointing
a rat cap committee
chairman temporarily until the
regular appointment in the fall
quarter.
Tommy Eden announced that
the University of Tennessee had
made a request for an official
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
pennant to use at their school
stadium. Eden was appointed to
investigate possibilities of send­ing
a flag as requested.
There being no further business
to come before the Cabinet, a
motion for adjournment was
made and passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Jimmy Duke,
Secretary
Approved: Harry Knowles
Acting President.
Cannon
At last week's meeting of the
Student Executive Cabinet, Joe
Moore, fifth year representative
and chairman of the Pep Com­mittee,
presented his plans for the
1949 committee. Obviously the re­sult
of much thought and work
by Moore, the outline of the com­mittee's
work is well organized.
In the past, it has been neces- *
sary for committee members to
search aU over
j the campus for
people in vari­ous
organiza­tions
who are
to help in, this
work. To alle­viate
this, rep-r
e s e n t a tives
f r o m t he
groups that are
most o f t en
called upon for
assistance are
included in the
committee. *
A m o n g the
organizations represented are Blue
Key, Omicron Delta K a p p a,
Squires, Cardinal Key, Sphinx,
and the A Club. In addition, the
Director of Student of Affairs,
Dean of Women, Director of the
Band and President of the Student
Executive Cabinet are ex-officio
members.
The committee has been divided
into a number of sub-committees
with one of the members as head
of each. These people will call
upon other students to assist them.
Outstanding among these sub­committees
is the placard cheer­ing
section under the direction of
former head cheerleader Jimmy
Kendrick. Since he instigated this
idea here last season, Kendrick
will be able to give us a first-class
placard section.
Another innovation is the fresh­man
action committee headed by
Don Tillery. The purpose of this
group is to instill in freshmen stu­dents
the Auburn Spirit. The time
is not too far distant when Auburn
will have again a leading team,
and it is essential that we begin
to rebuild Auburn's esprit de
corps. There is no better place to
start than with the freshmen.
Since this year's freshmen will be
just out of high school, they
should have a great deal of youth
and enthusiam which will provide
excellent pep material.
Moore and head cheerleader
Tommy Eden have devised plans
for most of the pep rallies to be
held before each game. Of par­ticular
note are the Tulane rally
with a French Quarter dance and
the Vanderbilt rally which fea­tures
a hillbilly dance and the
presentation of the ODK-Glomer-ata
Beauties.
Bottom Of
The Barrel
By Roger McClarty
In recent nation-wide surveys
of campus bull-sessions among
men students, the frequency of
mention of particular subjects
seems to rate in about this order:
(1) women, (2) baseball, (3)
women, (4) swimming, (5) wo­men,
(6) cold beer, (7) women,
(8) and politics. This, of course,
is applicable only to the summer
quarter, however, — football re­places
baseball in the fall.
I'd say that the male animal
here on our campus just about
follows the national norm, a nd
when a group is busy low-rating
our feminine counterparts—there
seems to be no trouble getting a
quorum. '
i For example,
the most ob-v
i o u s wail
seems to center
around stand­ing
in line for
an evening of
f e m a l e com­panionship.

A this, "Me, ask
McClarty for a date two
weeks in advance,—Oh, no!" The
storm grows in fury and some
hayless participant brings up the,
"Two dates and t she thinks we're
going steady," type. This leads to
particular cases and outraged
masculine dignity is poured out
in abundance until exhaustion
calls a halt to the proceedings.
Don't go away mad girls, I
thought for a change I'd m a ke

Auburn Stronger At End Positions;
Five Lettermen Return At Terminals
Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles deal­ing
with the chances of the Auburn Tigers this fall. Today's
story concerns the ends.
By Jimmy Coleman
Auburn's ends are considered stronger than last year,
but there's one detail that irks End Coach Shot Senn—a ma-ority
of his squad members lack versatility, and as a result,
there will be a maximum of substituting to have the proper
specialist in the game when the Tigers take on eight SEC
opponents and Clemson, champ­ions
of the Southern. Conference,
this fall.
Although the situation is not
ideal—it is far from poor—and
Senn is expecting his charges to
turn in some sterling performan­ces.
At the lert terminal position,
Senn will have one senior return­ing
in Erskine Russell, 190-pound-er
from Birmingham. Russell has
earned three grid letters, in ad­dition
to awards in baseball, ten­nis,
and basketball.
Russell will be seeing plenty of
competittion in Virgil Willett, a
rangy 180-pounder from Tallahas­see,
Fla. A junior, he lettered last
season and was a salient perform­er
in spring practice.

Erskine Russell
is Fred Duart, a rugged 187-
pounder from Jamaica, N. Y., who
got off to a brilliant start as a
freshman but was side-lined with
injuries much of last season. Duart
has the desire, and plays stand­out
ball when in top physical
shape.
Three sophomores who will be
seeking their first varsity action
at the left end slot are Leslie Al­len
of Fairhope; Charlie Justo, and
James Hancock, both of Birming­ham.
Justo drew notice with his
fine defensive play while on the
frosh team. Hancock and Allen's
performances in spring drills war­ranted
them a varsity berth.
At right end, Ralph Pyburn has
been chosen by his teammates to
captain the Tigers this fall. At
Mobile in his high school days,
Pyburn led Murphy High to an
undefeated season, a n d his ex­perience
as a leader should help
the Plainsmen. A former para­trooper,
he is a powerfully-built
195-,pounder.
Bob Weaver
Behind Pyburn is Talladega's
6-2, 200-pound Bobby Weaver, a
two-year letterman, who has
doubled as an excellent distance
punter for the past two seasons.
A junior, Weaver possesses valu­able
experience but will be pushed
hard by Don Wodrich, a holdover
from last season, and a trio of
eager sophomores composed of
Dave Ridgway, Tommy Edwards,
and Gene Mulhall.
Wodrich, a junior from Miami,
Fla., tips the scales at 180 and
stands 6-2, and is the only non-letterman
back from last year's
squad. Presently leading the so­phomore
contenders is the 19-year
old Ridgway, former Central High
star from Jackson, Miss. With his
speed and ruggedness, he should
develop into a great end.
Edwards is a former Woodlawn
standout from Birmingham and a
top defensive player, while Mul­hall,
a Chicagoan, shows promise
of developing into a fine all-around
performer.
Tigers Tangle With Tulane On Oct. 22;
Green Wave Selected As Top SEC Team
By Bob Ingram
The Green Wave of Tulane University, pre-season choice
for the SEC championship, Will be Auburn's fourth opponent
of the 1949 football campaign, and the fourth consecutive
SEC foe. The game is to be played in the Sugar Bowl, New-
Orleans, on October 22. •
Coach Henry Frnka lost only
three members of his great 1948
squad, and none of these men are
expected to be missed. This fall
Tulane could be one of. the top
teams of the country. Included in
their schedule is a clash with
mighty'Notre Dame and this game
may be the game of the year. Tu­lane
will have two advantages
when they meet the Fighting Irish
—one, they will be playing at
home, and secondly, Tulane has
an open date the week before the
Notre Dame battle. A victory for
Tulane over the "invincible" Irish
would not only be a great accom­plishment
for the Greenies, but it
would also be a feather in the cap
of the Southeastern Conference.
Auburn and Tulane have met
29 times on the gridiron, with the
Greenies holding a slight edge in
the series. Tulane has won 13
times, Auburn 10, and six games
have ended in ties.
Last year Auburn gave the
heavily favored Tulane eleven
a big scare before falling 21-6.
WAUD To Broadcast
Birmingham Contests
WAUD will continue its broad­cast
of the Birmingham Baron's
games. The games are carried
over WAUD except when the
Opelika Owls are playing at
home.
The Voice of the Plains, WAUD,
also has regular sportscasts at
5:45 each evening, daily and Sun­day,
and announces late baseball
results at 10:55 each night.
The games in the Southern lea­gue
to be played by the Birming­ham
Barons and broadcast by
WAUD next week,are:
July 21—Atlanta at Birming­ham.
July 23—Atlanta at Birming­ham.
July 28—Nashville at Nashville.
July 29—Nashville at Nashville.
Leading the Greenie attack was
fullback Eddie Price, and that lad
is back this fall to cause Tulane
opponents plenty of trouble. Other
backfield men returning who
could develop into stars are Cliff
Van Meter, Bill Svodoba and
sprinter Paul Bienz.
In the line, Coach Hank Crisp
admits that the 1949 forward wall
should be even better than last
years, and the 1948 line left little
to be desired.
The chances for an Auburn vic­tory
in the.Tulane scrap are very
slim indeed. Tulane is too big, too
experienced, and too good for our
Plainsmen.

Finish First Half
Of Summer Season
The first half schedule for all
leagues, except the newly formed
league VI, was completed last
week. Five teams remain unde­feated,
one in each league; since
some teams in league VI have not
played yet, its schedule is not
complete. Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma
Chi, Theta Chi, Phi Delta Theta
and the Zippers are the undefeat­ed
teams in leagues I, II, III, IV
and V respectively.
In league I Pi Kappa Phi slush­ed
their way to a 9 to 6 victory
over Lipscombs on a rain drenched
field. The win, their third, put
them in first place and on the fol­lowing
day they extended their
winning streak to four straight
with a 6 to 4 victory over Alpha
Gamma Rho. Lipscomb's bounced
back and took over second place
with a 10 to 8 win over Kappa
Sigma.
In league II Sigma Chi continu­ed
their jvinning ways with a 6
to 4 victory over PiKA to make
it three in a row. The win gave
them first place and knocked the
PiKA's into the cellar. Lambda
Chi took over second place with a
16 to 15 win over the Flunkies.
The Faculty broke into the win
column in league III by trouncing
Phi Kappa Tau 10 to 8. Phi Kappa
Tau came back the following day
and handed ATO a 4 to 1 setback.
The game was the lowest scoring
affair of the season. The Faculty
slipped back into their old form
as Colyonae walloped them 13 to
9.
Phi Delta Theta had the closest
call of all the undefeated teams as
they edged Delta Sigma Phi 8 to
7 for their third win. In another
close game in league IV, FFA
defeated Wesleyan 6 to 5.
The Zippers continued to set the
pace in league V with their second
straight win. The Kings were their
victims losing 9 to 14. Sigma Nu
defeated the Kings 10 to 5, but
SPE spoiled their perfect record
with a 7 to 5 setback.
In league VI the P. E. Club
routed the Fumbles 22 to 10 and
the T-Cees won by forfeit from
the BSU.
The softball schedule for the
coming week is as follows:
July 20; PKP-KS; SC-LCA;

Backfield Coach
Former Star End
With Notre Dame
By Bob Ingram
Auburn's young backfield coach,
Johnny Murphy, knows just about
all there is to know about playing
the backfield, yet .he never played
in the backfield himself.
Born in South Bend, Indiana, in
1915, Coach Murphy attended
both high school and college in
his home town. He earned three
letters in high school as an end,
making the All-State team his
senior year. He then entered
Notre Dame and earned letters in
both 1936 and 1937, still at the
terminal post. An early season
injury in 1938 cost him a letter
that season, and his -substitute,
Chuck Sweeney, made the Ail-
American team that year.
Following his collegiate career
Coach Murphy immediately en­tered
the coaching field, handling
the football team of Endicott High,
Endicott, New York for eight
years. One of the boys he develop­ed,
Mitch Olenski, later starred
at the University of Alabama.
BACKFIELD MENTOR

AUBURN
In 1946 Coach Murphy moved
over to Trinity High School, New
York City, to launch a football
program. In 1948 Coach Murphy
came.to Auburn with Head Coach
Earl Brown. Coach Murphy has
already made himself extremely
popular with both players and
students alike with his pleasing
personality and pleasant disposi­tion.

Bathing Beauty And Diving Contest
Will Be Sponsored By AIO August 8
The Auburn Independent Organization will sponsor a
bathing beauty and diving contest at Prat'her's Lake from 4
to 9 p.m., August 8. There will also be opportunities for swim­ming
and dancing.
The diving contest,, which is co-sponsored with the intra­mural
sports board, is open to any
male student currently enrolled
at Auburn, and will be divided
into two classes: high and low
board. The rules for the contest
will be those published in the Of­ficial
Swimming Guide for 1949
by the National Collegiate Athle­tic
Association. Some minor
changes will be made to fit this
particular situation. Copies of this
guide are obtainable from the
library.
The bathing beauty contest is
open to any girl now enrolled at
Auburn, or who was enrolled at
Auburn in the spring quarter and
who has not graduated. Contest­ants
in both the beauty contest
and the diving contest may be en­tered
by a sponsor or may enter
as individuals. There will be no
entrance fee, except that each
contestant will be expected to buy
a regular ticket.
A cup will be awarded the^win-ner
of the beauty contest. The
winners in both the high and low
board divisions of the diving con­test
will receive cups, and the
second and third entries in both
divisions will receive medals.
Mr. Prather and the lake staff
are cooperating to make this event
successful. On the day of the con­test

Crisp cotton is at its best this season—be it a tailored shirt­waist
casual or a dainty formal, you'll find what you want
fn "captivating, cotton".
The classic shirtwaist dress—in a whole spectrum of
colors, soft balloon cloth or cool chambray—still ranks high
for campus wear. Dainty tucks in
the bodice or gathers at the waist
make this casual suitable for the
most dressy occasions.
Old-fashioned calico is perfect
for the dual personality dress, the
sun-back. A generously full skirt
and "hug-me-tight" cummerbund
accent the small waist. With the
jacket, this informal dress be­comes
a "wear-anywhere" dress.
Crisp pique made with whirling
skirt and plunging neckline, ac­cented
at the waist with contrast­ing
sash will be perfect for that
"special" date.
For you travelers—a butcher
linen suit of navy, brown, or dark
striped seersucker will keep you
"cool as a breeze."
Sheer voile makes the most
feminine of afternoon dresses. Gay
prints featured with white organ­dy
trimming looks a picture of
summer itself!
Formals of pique, chambray,
dotted swiss, or organdie will add
a touch of crispness to your ward­robe.
The old-fashioned organdie
gown with its deep neckline, tiny
waist, and rufiled skirts is both
cool and handsome.
Cotton is one of the easiest fab­rics
to sew—comfortable to wear
—inexpensive to buy—and, im­portant
to you coeds, simple to

Teachers' Handbook
Is By Auburn Woman
Beginning teachers in Florida
and Alabama are following the
advice of a Tuskegee woman,
Mrs. Emily Wood Burt, who holds
a master's degree from Auburn.
Mrs. Burt, now dean of girls at
Horace Mann Junior High School
in Miami, Fla., has recently writ­ten
a book,, "Tips to Teachers,"
which has been highly acclaimed
by the Florida Education Asso­ciation.
Dr. Zebulon Judd, dean
of the Schopl of Education at Au­burn,
also recommends the book
highly.
"The book was written," Mrs.
Burt says, "with the hope that my
tips would make the way easier
and more pleasant for beginning
teachers. I hope that it will even­tually
become a handbook for
teachers all over the nation," she
added.

department.
Bob Windham, chairman of the
Student Relations Committee,
said: "The pool will be open to
couples for the first time this year.
This project was designed espec­ially
for students with dates who
have encountered difficulty in
planning an enjoyable and relax­ing
' activity for a hot summer
evening."
James W. Wilson, partner in the
firm of Crane, Jackson, and Wil­son,
certified public accountants,
Montgomery, will lecture here
Thursday, July 28, at 8 p.m. Spon­sored
by Delta Sigma Pi, business
honorary, Mr. Wilson will speak
in the accounting lab room of the
new classroom building.
Topic of the talk will be "Qual­ifications
and Training of Persons
Desiring to Enter the Public Ac­counting
Profession, a n d the
Training of Junior Accountants in
a Public Accounting Firm."
Mr. Wilson obtained his CPA
certificate while employed by
Ernst and Ernst in the New Or­leans
office. He served as treasur­er
of the Montgomery Journal for
a number of years.
James W. Thornton, Auburn
alumnus of the Montgomery firm,

ATTENTION
STUDENTS ON PROBATION
All students enrolled in school
this summer on probation should
make appointments as soon; as
possible to take the required ap­titude,
tests for probationary stu­dents.
Delay in making these ap­pointments
may make it impos­sible
for all students to take the
tests.
Appointments may be made
through the Veterans Advisory
Center on Mell Street.

friend, and started out.
These are my findings: (1) We
call for a date late in the after­noon
of the very evening we had
in mind, (2) We walk around the
campus looking like badly dressed
broken arms. (Partly a hangover
from our Army careers, I guess.)
(3) We take a girl out to one of
the local night spots and t h en
don't dance with her, or better
yet, dance with someone else's
date. (4) We check on their
whereabouts and follow them
around constantly, like well-train­ed
bird dogs. (5) We bore them
with the story of our dull unin­teresting
lives—with an accent on
past romantic adventures. (6) We
have no sense of timing. (I wonder
what she meant by that?)
You can easily see guys, they
don't exactly think of us in the
same light that we do. I escaped
with just slight bruises and after
thinking it over I don't think I'd
change anything if I could, ex­cept
the 6-1 ratio we suffer un­der.
