Open House Guests
To See 'Parlor Story'
In Langdon Tonight
A highly attractive feature of
tonight's Open House program will
be the Auburn Players' presenta­tion
of "Parlor Story," a three-act
comedy.
The Langdon Hall curtain will
rise on the Open House presenta­tion
at 8:15.
THE PLOT, which is based on a
governor's problem in picking a
college president, becomes compli­cated
when the wife of the gov­ernor
and the wife of a local
journalism professor conspire to
influence the decision.
Further complications are con­tributed
by the professor's chil­dren,
who get involved in love
affairs.
Other prominent figures in the
action are the governor's body­guards,
and an unscrupulous news­paper
editor.
The cast includes A. M. Creest,
Birmingham; Betty Sanderson,
Albertville; Don Cain, Haleyville;
Kathryn Hilton, Double {Springs;
Betty Ann Price, Atlanta.
Betty Ford, Auburn; Jack Seay,
Birmingham; Cody E d w a r d s,
Montgomery; Bob Nixon, Auburn,
and Mel Granite, Shawmut.
The show opened iri Auburn on
March 7, and since that time has
been widely acclaimed on a circuit
of road performances throughout
east Alabama and West Georga.
Since the cast has had the addi­tional
experience with the play
provided by the road trip, the
play is expected to be in even
better shape than' when it was last
presented in Auburn.

Well, we-finally got word by the
grapevine that some "swaps" had
\ occurred in the Loveliest Village',
j so by all means we'll put them at
; the top of the list. After all, this
is a society column and not a bal­lot
returns office. The ATO's
partied with the Chi O's last
Thursday night for a house dance.
The KD's entertained the Kappa
Sig's with a patio dance last Tues­day,
with a high spot of the eve­ning
being a command perform­ance
of the winning Kappa Sig
skit—"This is a Coed College, or
Frustration Without Representa­tion."
"Mama Mac" McLaughton
chaperoned the group and directed
the television heckling. . . .The
Zeta Tau Alpha's entertained the
Phi Kappa Tau's with a house
dance last Tuesday night at the
Phi Tau house. Much fun. That's
all the party news, but now that
you'alfhave seen how easy it is,
why don't some of you other
Greeks get happy?

To Open House Visitors.:
With this special Open House issue of
The Plainsman, we welcome visitors to
Auburn, t h e largest u n i v e r s i t y in t h e state.
We urge you visitors, and students as
well, to enjoy the varied program that is
offered as a result of months of planning
and h a r d work from students, faculty and
administrators. You'll learn something
about Auburn that you didn't know.
T,o high school seniors—this is your
opportunity to t a l k to instructors and the
dean of your prospective school. You'll
l e a r n much more about Auburn from the
personal approach than you could ever
gain t h r o u g h the cold formality of a letter.
Open House is your opportunity to survey
Indeed, the Open House celebration
exists for the purpose of demonstrating
to the people of Alabama what goes on in
A u b u r n in the professional schools, t h e re­search
laboratories and fields, the exten­sion
services. It is a cooperative venture
by students, faculty and staff in order that
those who a r e i n t e r e s t e d may gain a b e t t er
u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the vast and varied acti­vities
of a vital and important southern
university.
F u r t h e r , we hope that our guests may
catch here in the wholesome atmosphere
| of h a r d work, healthful recreation, and
good clean fun, some u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the
r e a l Auburn Spirit, which actuates us all
i n all aspects of college life, but which
finds i t s finest expression in t h e democracy
a n d friendliness and c h a r a c t e r of t h e great
body of A u b u r n students.
W i t h these words President Ralph
Draughon *ets the pace for the whole of
A u b u r n on t h e eve of Open House. He has
caught t h e purpose of Open House in a few
sentences, and at the same time pointed
out where the responsibility for the suc­cess
of t h e p r o g r am lies—with t h e A u b u rn
student body.
All of the institution's 10 schools are
ready. Hundreds of demonstrations, ex­hibits,
and tours have been planned.
Hundreds of s t u d e n t s have worked to pre­p
a r e special programs concerning their
p a r t i c u l a r departments. Hundreds of
l e t t e r s and programs have been mailed
Don't Be A Clod...
. . .A Welcome
the campus and town, to visit the college
dormitories. It's your opportunity to talk
to students. Feel free to ask them ques­tions.
,
It's all this arid much more, too. Open
House is "Hey Day,'' Homecoming, Ag
Fair, and Engineers Carnival all rolled into
two busy days of activity.
For Alabama citizens, Open House
week end is the time to see where Auburn
applies its appropriations from the state.
Visit the experiment station, inspect the
building program, underway on campus
and see the dozens of demonstrations, and
exhibits that attest to Auburn's educa­tional
prowess.
...And A Message
to high school students and newspapers in
the state. But the success of the program
depends on the attitude of the student
body. We must be ready to speak to visit­ors,
to offer to show them around the
campus, to tell them about the programs
offered and how to get to the place.
Response from Alabamians indicates
that many visitors will be on the Plains
for the celebration. A doctor in Gadsden
read about the celebration in the news­paper
and wrote, "I can't attend myself,
but reserve a room for my wife and daugh­ter."
Three working girls in Talladega
wrote; "We read about the Open House
program and would like to come. Please
write us about reservations." And dozens
of high schools in the state have indicated
that chartered buses or cars will bring
groups to the campus.
Alabama citizens and students that are
not Auburnites are interested in the festi­vities.
Moreover, we should be too. We
must be for the program to be a success.
We must attend the demonstrations, ex­hibits
and tours; the time will not be
wasted. A majority of Auburn students
are not cognizant of What goes on in
schools other than theirs. They know
nothing about the experiment station, ex­tension
service and research program that
is being conducted at Auburn. Open
House offers us an opportunity to study
Auburn in, its entirety.

The problems of students tromplhg on
grass is no headache at the University of
Texas. At first sign of offenders the Uni­versity
officials promptly string up enough
barbed wire fence (with five strands)
around the area to keep all but the high
hurdles men off the crushed blades. Their
system is very effective.
But here at Auburn, where administrat­ors
are more genteel and herds of long-horns
no longer roam, students have been
admonished to stay off the grass only with
clever signs; i.e., Don't Be A Clod, Stay
Off The Sod. Our system is not effective.
In an attempt to analyze the problem,
we sent roving reporters out into the for­age
to classify the offenders. They fall
into three distinct types. First are the
lovers that spend a considerable portion of
every afternoon wallowing in the clover,

Elections Bring Quiet End To Politics;
Plainsman Given First Class Rating
By Jim Jennings
Politics died a quiet death on the campus for the
year with elections last Thursday running true to predicted
form in almost all races which were contested. A mild upset
occurred when Steve Adair defeated Jimmy Alves for the post
of senior senator and Claude Casey surprised many people
when he drew a strong following
in his campaign for president of

And there's the agrarian type that likes
to feel the lush grass underfoot. The act

up from the pasture and chasing giggling,
barefoot farm maidens across the alfalfa
patch.
Last of the offenders is the efficiency

a right triangle superimposed on Ross
Square is much shorter than the two sides,
and always bisects the angles made by

I was surprised to discover
through exchange publications that
Auburn was apparently following
the rule rather than being an ex­ception
in the general lack of
campus political interest. Only
one post was contested at the
University of Alabama. At Mis­sissippi
State none of the publica­tions
posts candidates had oppo­sition.
However, it was the University
of Minnesota that deserves first
prize on political disinterest. There
were less than 30 candidates for
more than 60 elective positions.
Maybe the situation at Auburn is
not sb bad after all.

THE PLAINSMAN received its
rating for the fall quarter from the
Associated Collegiate Press last
week. We of the staff were col­lectively
disappointed (although
not exactly surprised) to learn that
The Plainsman was rated First
Class, missing the top All-Ameri-can
rating by 100 points. Only two
papers of the same size and circu­lation
achieved the coveted Ail-
American rating.
Vitality, features, and editorials
drew the top number of votes
possible. Coverage, news story
content and style, copyreading and
proofreading, front page makeup,
and sports writing also received a
high classification. Editorial page
makeup received the lowest vote.
The Plainsman entered the com­petition
with the disadvantage of
an extremely small journalism de­partment
from which to obtain
students skilled in newspaper tech­niques.
Most of The Plainsman
staff members have obtained their
training from working on The
Plainsman itself.

crop of newcomers to SEC track
competition have done well for
themselves in their first three per­formances
of the 1952 season.
Auburn, with only three return­ing
lettermen,. placed within the
top three positions in both the
Florida Relays in Gainesville and
the Southern Relays in Birming­ham
before downing Mississippi
State in the first dual meet of the
season.
Sophomores Bill Fickling, high
hurdler, and Jackie Creel, sprinter,
are the leading runners among the
new men. Fickling has been timed
in the 120-yard high hurdles in
:15.0 seconds while Creel has paced
the 100-yard dash in :10.0 seconds
and the 220-yard dash in 21.2
seconds.
CONGRATULATIONS ARE due
to the people who have partici­pated
in planning and organizing
the Open House programs.
According To Hall
Open House Offers
Chance For Thought
The latch string hangs out this
week end, as Auburn welcomes
visitors to its first Open House
program.
We hope the guests enjoy their
visit to the Plains, and we also
hope they find time to mix a little
serious thought in with the mul­titude
of activities planned bjr the
Open House committee.
In solving t h e educational
problems of future citizens of
Alabama and the South, Auburn
compares favorably with most of
the colleges and universites in the
nation, and certainly holds its
own with any in the state.
Auburn lacks the traditional
"ivy covered walls," of the story
book college. As a matter of fact,!,
the campus has a "boom town"
look, with temporary buildings
and new construction dotting the
landscape. It lacks also the ex-clusiveness
of unusually stringent
entrance requirements and a re­sultant
small student body.
This does not mean, however,
that Auburn lacks tradition. The
venerable age of Samford and
Broun Halls offsets newness of
more recently constructed build­ings,
while the Lathe and the War
Eagle are as much a part of Au­burn
as English 101.
The student body, too, has its
share of tradition, expressed
mainly in the great number of
second and third generation Au­burn
men and women now en­rolled.
The same ratio of tradition to
modernization which is evident in
the building and student body
can also be seen in the faculty
and curricula of A.P.I.
The curricula offers every­thing
from ancient history to the
latest thing in electronics. The
traditional studies of the liberal
arts are given considerable em-

"your: column fills space, but you
have a tendency to get off the
subject."
How r i d i c u l o u s ! Everyone
knows that I never get off the
subject.i Subject—that reminds
. .me pf ,a. little town in France that
"was the subject of a small tavern.
The name of the tavern was the
"French Den of Iniquity," (Pass­word—"
Debris"). That's, where I
first met her. Let me tell you the
story of my old flame. I call her
flame because I got burnt.
The first time I saw her she
was drinking planet water at the
tavern. I found out later that
the water was from the planet
Pluto. That explains why she was
making all' of those phone calls.
I'll relate, as well as I remember,
that night at the tavern.
As we sat there exchanging
xsweet nothings, I asked her if I
might kiss her. She blushed a
beautiful color of pink, and coy­ly
dropped an Neye. Being a
gentleman, I bent down and pick­ed
it up for her. I didn't want
the thing rolling around on the
floor looking at me all night.
Then we kissed, a burning, smoul­dering
kiss that seared my lips.
She had forgotten to remove her
cigar. She looked so lovely with
her swept-up hair and G.I. shoes.
We were the first couple on the
floor that night; she wanted to
wrestle. Silly, impulsive, darling!
She was,a beauty, though, all
237 pounds of her. In spite of
her weight, she had a figure like
an hour-glass. The only trouble
with her' hour-glass figure was
that the sand had shifted. But
she was the girl that I wanted to
take home to mother—her mother.
I'll never forget the sweet mo­ments
we had during the first
summer we shared. What tender
memories: how I would meet her
every night after work and carry
her two-piece cue from the pool­room;
the day at the beach When
she ate 12 salmon sandwiches,
then swam five miles upstream;
the time that she had sea .sick­ness
and lockjaw at the same
time; that night we-walked in
the woods by the big oak tree,
and she wanted to carve our in­itials
insmy chest. I could have
kissed her then if she hadn't been
busy prying a gold inlay out of
my mouth.
We could have had many more
memorable escapades, but then it
happened. One day she and I
were walking down a street when
suddenly she heard a record
playing in the music shqp. It was
a catchy tune, and she went in
to learn the title of the song.
She tried Ap find out the title by
following the record around and
around with her eyes. I attempt-

bers who pay "$50 or more for
quick-lathering equipment." So,
as any clean-cut, red-blooded, two-fisted
AU-American Boy would do
under similar circumstances, when
next I became hirsute in the man­dibular
regions I skipped down to
the nearest apothecary's for to
buy me some rise.
As soon as I got home I set up
my apparatus in the privacy of a
Mongolia Hall shower room and
prepared for The Test. Would it
work? With trembling hands I
spread out the directions for a
last-minute briefing. My heart*
beat faster as I shook the canister...
once. . .. twice. I unscrewed the
black button above the spout two
good turns. My whole life flashed
before me. I held the can level
and steady, despite the tics which
contorted my facial muscles. The
nerveless fingers of my left hand
slowly moved up to~ touch the
spout. Five. . . four. . . this is it, I
thought. . . two. . .. one. . . fire!
I closed my eyes and breathed a
silent prayer as I pressed the
black button.
I felt the light touch of lather
on my hand, and when I looked
I saw that the rise had risen!
Entranced, I smeared the lather
over my wire whiskers and tender
skin, wet the razor, and began to
SHAVE. The Push-Button Shave,
I must say in all fairness, was the
best thing I had ever run up against
in the whisker-whisking line. It
really made my face feel zmooo-oooth,
and I rushed out to tell the
world that that raw-beef effect
is a thing of the past.
For the next few days I was
proud of my canister of rise. I
was its master, and it served me
well. Then one day something
happened: I pressed the black but­ton
as always, and as always a
puff of lather hopped out of the
spout. But when I released the
black button, the lather continued
to pour forth. The rise had run
amuck! I stood helplessly by as
firm, living lather went all over
the place. Finally it stopped, the
canister breathing heavily through
its spout. I set it gingerly on the
window sill by my bed, wistfully
hoping that it had had just a con­vulsion—
a temporary thing, of no
consequence—and would !be its
usual subservient self by morning.
About midnight, however, when
all through the house not a crea­ture
was stirring, not even a Mix-master,
I was awakened by an
eerie scream. The can of rise was
at it again. It had projected a blob
of shaving soap across the room,
into my roommate's ear, and was
now whirling around and around,
its cyclopean spout throwing firm,
living lather in all directions. Be­fore
I could reach the window sill,
our room had taken on the appear­ance
of Siberia in blizzard season.
I grasped the canister around the
throat and threw it into a dresser
drawer, bracirig my shoulder
against it to keep it closed against
the mounting flood of lather. At
last it stopped erupting, but when
I peeked into the drawer it lashed
out at me again. I haven't opened
the drawer since. Things are usual­ly
quiet in ther^, but occasionally
we are awakened by the uncanny
noises it makes as it threshes
around in another orgy of explo­sion.
I've gone back to my shaving
brush.

New Book 'They Went To College'
Discloses Startling Facts, Statistics
By Walter "Parson" Albritton
According to the new book titled They Went to College, if
you are an out-of-state student at Auburn, the chances are
good that you will remain away from your, home state after
graduation. . . . . . .
Statistical findings"ati^Mek reveal that people who leave
their state for their education are much more likely to remain
away from home after graduation than are those graduates
who attended college within their state. Almost two-thirds of
the graduates who go away to school are lost to the "home
state" for good, the book further disclosed.
The book also reveals that if the graduate does stay home
for his education, there is a good chance,
again almost two-thirds, that he will remain
within his state after he finishes his educa­tion.
Auburn weather in general doesn't suit
the tastes of many students, but They Went
to College offers a consolation,, at least for
those students majoring in science, and par­ticularly
in engineering. The book reports
_,_, , that these students are much more likely to
.move to a different area after graduation, so perhaps there are
greener pastures elsewhere. It should be noted also that the
book asserts that migration is more common, %mong those
who were the best students in college.
In the book, based on a survey sponsored by Time, college
graduates may find a portrait of themselves, and college stu­dents
may get a glimpse of what is to come. High school
seniors visiting our campus this week end should find in the
book many interesting" facts and figures about college life
that could prove a valuable aid to them hi choosing their
college alma mater. To them, and everyone interested in
learning some startling new facts about college-educated men
and women, I recommend They Went to College.
* • * * *
B&G is to be commended for its successful project of plant­ing
flowers in the center of Ross Square. Word is around that
a monument is to be built in the midst of these flowers. If
this is done, then Auburnites can point with pride to another
example of our progressing institution.
* • * # *
Across. Thach Avenue in front of the college bookstore is
a monument dedicated to the memory of the Auburn men
who gave their lives in the first World War. , Partially hidden
by overgrown shrubbery, the memorial is surrounded by an
old rusty chain, making it almost unnoticeable to passersby.
Another feather in B&G's campus improvement cap would
be to replace the shrubbery with flowers, to weed out the area
and to paint the rusty chain.
Auburn exam thieves should be thankful for the laxity of
our school officials in handling such offenses. Over at neigh­boring
Emory, the college's honor council recently found five
students guilty of cribbing on winter quarter finals.
' Cribbing is a minor offense when compared with exam
stealing, yet Emory's honor council saw fit to punish five
students for cheating on examinations. Four of the violators
were suspended from school for tVo quarters, and the fifth-was
placed on probation.
At Emory, severe punishment is meted out to student vio­lators
for offenses far more minor than exam swiping. At
Auburn, little if any action is taken for exam thievery. Ad­mittedly,
action here is not often taken, mainly because the
violators are not caught; nevertheless, I believe that more stern
punishment and better methods of keeping exams secure would
prevent most of Auburn's exam stealing.

UNDER R. K. EVANS' LEADERSHIP ASSUMES DUTIES
A P I Intramural Sports Ending 15th Year
By John Meadows
When golf and volleyball teams opened intramural com­petition
April 14, they began the final round of the 15th year
of intramural sports at A.P.I., and the 10th for Coach Robert
K. "Bob" Evans as mentor of the extensive program.
Intramural sports offer participation in touch football,
basketball, softball, volleyball,
wrestling, track, swimming, tennis,
golf, horseshoes, table tennis, and
bowling. Last year some 4,000 stu­dents
took part in the program,
playing over 800 games and 1,500
individual matches. Approximately
$6,000 was spent in sports "within
the walls."
The intramural program was in­augurated
in 1937 by Coach Ernie
Smith, who later served in World
War II with the rank of lieutenant
colonel, heading the physical edu-
University of Georgia.
* * *
IN 1942, Coach Evans brought
with him to Auburn the beginning
of a new era in intramural sports.
He divided the Auburn program
into two fields—fraternity and in­dependent,
the latter including a
new creation, a league of church
teams.
Auburn's 20 fraternities com­pete
for the annually awarded All-
Sports Trophy, which is presented
to the society which amasses the
cation program for the entire most points over the school year in
U.S. Air Force. Currently Smith a n s p o r t s.
is a member of the physical edu- independent teams represent

who are interested in competing
in the intramural offering.
The A.P.I, church league was
created by Evans in 1945, the
A.P.I, church league was one of
the first of its nature in the na­tion.
Seven-religious groups con­stitute
this independent set-up.
* # *.
NOT ONLY the participants have
benefitted from the intramural
program, for a great number of
men refereeing and supervising
games receive pay for their serv­ices
in these capacities. Income
from these chores has augmented
many students' educational fi­nances.
Of the amount spent on the in­tramural
program last year more
than $4,000 was derived from stu­dents
themselves, through the
paying of 17 cents of every stu­dent
activities fee dollar for this
purpose. Some $2,000 was paid out
to student referees and supervisors.
Evans announced that 120 men
participated in the recently added
bowling fragment of the intra­mural
activities.
Summer quarter sports—cur­tailed
last year due to the threat
of a polio epidemic—will include
softball, golf, tennis, swimming,
and volleyball.

phasis while new technical deve­lopments
are also stressed.
In the faculty, an equilibrium
is maintained between men who
received undergraduate training
at Auburn and those who were
educated elsewhere in the coun­try.
This gives students a broad
view of their subjects and at the
same time tends to keep up cer­tain
attitudes a n d standards
among the student body.
To boil it down, we mean this:
in our opinion, one of Auburn's
strongest points is its favorable
balance between progressiveness
and tradition. Both have their
place in a college education, and
a balanced diet of the two points
of view is readily available to
A.P.I, students.

Fans Like Sports-Prominent Players;
Many Stars Play In Plainsman Park
If you've watched any baseball games from the stands
(or atop the onlooking bank) recently, then you've probably
heard from neighboring spectators comments to this effect,
"There's so-and-so playing first base for them (the opposi-tion).
He was really a standout last season as a football play­er
. . . must be a pretty good athlete."
To see this particular person in action may be one reason
why Mr. Fan comes to ball games. (Of course, we primarily
assume his presence as an Auburn supporter.)
One may rest assured that a few extra people will turn
out when Florida plays here since the sports-prominent Hay-wood
Sullivan will participate. Sullivan is one of the better
known double-duty athletes who has come or will come to the
Plains this spring.
Sportsmen remember Georgia Tech's Chappel Rhino,
George Maloof, and Leon Hardeman; Ellsworth Kingerey of
Tulane; Clell Hobson of Alabama, and Sullivan for their suc­cess
on the gridiron. " Equally outstanding in the hardwood
aspect are Benny McArdle and Ned Clark of LSU; Jim Um-bricht
and Al Parrish of Georgia, and Kaiser Wilhelm of
Tulane.
Names make sports what they are. Sports enthusiasts
love a stellar^ player. On these convictions it's easy to see
why sports are such a brilliant feature of the American way
"' of life. v
—Why Did Tide's Burdette Quit?
Why did Floyd Burdette quit his post as Alabama's basket­ball
coach last week?
Some opine" the best time to toss in the towel is when
you're on top. (Example: Joe DiMaggio). But Burdette
wasn't on top. His predominantly senior squad, one that had
steadily improved over the past two years, was supposed to
be the best'in several years at the upstate institution. At the
season's start, it was rated a contender for the SEC title.
At the period's end, those interested sought an explanation
for Alabama's failure to fare better.
Of 14 conference games Alabama won nine. Had Burdette
led his herd of Elephants up the wrong trail? Five losses
represented some sort of flop; apparently Alabama was a
moody team. It sought to ambush the strong teams (Ken­tucky
71, Alabama 67), but was casual when encountering
the weaker teams (Georgia 53, Alabama 51). As a team, con­ceit
was evinced.
Was this a reflection on Burdette? Maybe so. Remember
that night in the Sports Arena (Alabama 61, Auburn 60)?
Burdette barely mustered a smile after that onev Or how
about 'Bama's tournament faring (Tennessee 61, Alabama
60)? Maybe that helped him realize that something was
wrong.
What's Alabama going to have next winter? Solve that
one and you may have the answer to why the "man who can't
smile" has dropped the Red Elephant's reins^
—Tiger Topics
Zipp (Birmingham News) Newman—"Southern Methodist
is the only Southwest team ever to play in Legion Field. The
Mustangs beat Jack Meagher's Auburn Tigers, 20 to 13, in
1940." He adds, "Texas offered Auburn a September date
for 1953 and Auburn would have accepted had Texas agreed
to come to Legion Field in 1954. A 1953 game is pending with
Maryland here, if Birmingham responds as it should to the
Auburn-Maryland game September 29."
Sam (Alabama Journal) Adams—"Ray Williams, former
Auburn star . . ., will be Atlanta's (Crackers) hot-corner
guardian."
Of SEC baseball interest—Tennessee's Johnny Huffstetler,
probably the best hurler in the conference, held Georgia Tech
scoreless in the last nine innings of a 15-inning game won by
the Vols last week. Besides that, Huffstetler got five hits
in five trips. . . Kentucky's Frank Ramsey (remember him?)
slammed a home run to lead his mates to a win over Vander-bilt
Saturday.
—'Gators Seem Pennant Bound
Florida's fightin' Gators' seem well von their fray to displacing
Tennessee's Vols as SEC baseball champions. Wednesday morning the
Gators sat firmly in first place, two games ahead of Kentucky, the
only other team undefeated in league play. '
Auburn remaned in the first division, a game and one-half
^behind fifth place Tennessee, however the Plainsmen faced possible
reshuffling as results of mid-week tilts with seventh Ole Miss.
Florida has never won the conference pennant. Closest the Flori-dians
ever approached the crown was in 1938, their only year as
runner-up. The Gators begin the latter half of their SEC slate next
week against Georgia. Tech follows on the Gator schedule, preceding
four games with Auburn. This means the Gators can be made or
broken by the Plainsmen.

Tigers Go Winless
During Worst Week
In 52 Mitt Season
Auburn experienced its worst
week of baseball this season, going
winless in four games last week.
After being smashed 17-4 by the
Montgomery Grays lin a game
played in Selma Monday night, the
Plainsmen lost 8-7. to Howard in
Birmingham Wednesday. Return­ing
home, the locals lost 10-7 to
Tulane before deadlocking the
Green Wave 7-7, in 13 innings
Saturday.
$ $ *
THE GRAYS, priming for their
second year in the South Atlantic
(Class A) League, capitalized on
17 walks and 12 hits to hand the
Plainsmen their worst loss of the
year.
Howard, playing on its home
field, pushed over a run in the
ninth inning with the score tied
at 7-all to defeat favored Auburn
despite Bill McMurry's home run,
double, and single. The Plainsmen
had triumphed over the Bulldogs
here a week prior.
Tulane, its SEC record marred
only by a sole loss to Alabama,
noticed a fourth conference win by
defeating Auburn. McMurry once
again made it close by cracking a
grand-slam homer in the fifth
frame. Greenie Jack Campione
hurled five-hit ball to defeat Ernie
Snow.
*- "fc.- *
AUBURN USED four hurlers in
fighting to a deadlock with the
Greenies in the series' conclusion.
Five scoreless innings followed the
eighth, and the game was called
due to darkness after a 13-inning
affair, longest of the season for the
Plainsmen. Ray Weidenbacker
went the route for Tulane, whiff­ing
14. Sonny Lloyd clouted a
three-run homer in the eighth.
The tie was Auburn's secbnd in
eight SEC contests, three of which
resulted in the Plainsmen's favor.

this season.
In other inter-frat contests,
Alpha Tau Omega mauled Phi

By Dave Laney
Hackneyed though it may be, the phrase "when old rivals
meet anything can happen" is appropriate for Monday's
forthcoming baseball feature, Auburn versus Alabama, in
Plainsman Park. The Crimson Tide will be here for two
days and two SEC games with the Plainsmen.
After dropping their first three
1952 games in Florida, the Tide
rambled to six straight decisions,
four of them conference games,
before getting splashed by Tu-lane's
Green Wave in Tuscaloosa
last week.
Beating the Birmingham Bar­ons,
11-9, in the Magic City a
fortnight ago brought some pres­tige
to the Crimsons. Likewise did
the Tide's pair of victories over
LSU and Mississippi State add to
their renown.
* * *
LAST THURSDAY the Tusca-loosans
retaliated with a two-run
win over Tulane after dropping
the .opener of the two game series,
8-0, The Tide win was the fifth
in six conference starts.
Tilden "Happy" Campbell, Ala­bama's
pilot, can call upon four
good hurlers to starting jobs. Per­haps
Bill Dunn and freshman
Gene Lary, the fifth and last of
the famed Lary brothers, are
Campbell's top choices, both of
them having two wins against no
defeats. Bill Miller and John An­derson,
winners of one game
apiece, are capable relievers or
starters. 1
The Tide fiel.ds a powerful out­field
in Bobby Carr, Dick Hearn,
and Red Walker. Hearn's heavy
bat, which boomed out a game-winning
circuit clout over the
Greenies last week, is ascribed
to his batting in the cleanup
position.
Last year's slugging first base­man,
Mike Mizerany, who grad­uated,
has been replaced this sea­son
by C. J. Clark, a slender and
competent sophomore. Remaind­er
of the Tide infield is compris­ed
of Leon Adair at second, Jerry
Beld at third, and Clell Hobson,
the footballer, at shortstop.
* * *
"POOSH 'EM UP" Tony Napoli
will crouch behind the plate to
receive the slants of the Tide
pitching staff.
The local Alabama series will
initiate the latter half of Auburn's
SEC baseball schedule. Omitting
Wednesday's and Thursday's tilts
with Ole Miss, Auburn has won
three, lost three, and tied two in
eight SEC tilts. Overall, the Tigers
have won seven of 14 contests,
two were tied.
Attributed to the recent shuf­fles
in the Plainsman line-up,
starters for the Alabama go were
unknown at press time," however,
Bobby Jordan, Jake Jones, and
Bill McMurry' are likely starters
in the outfield. Inman Veal, Gene
Hoehle, Doyle Pair, Joe Davis,
Bob Nagel, Billy Ray Roberson,
and Reginald Rogers all have
started at least one game and
any combination of four is a like­lihood
for starting assignments.
Dick McMurry will receive the
tosses of Buck Bradberry and
Ernie Snow, probable hurlers for
the'Tide series.
Sigma Pi Wins Fraternity Track Title,

By Mickey Logue
Sigma Pi edged out Kappa Alpha, Alpha Psi, Alpha Tau
Omega and Pi Kappa Alpha in the last event of the most
thrilling fraternity track meet ever held at Auburn to take
the title in the two-day affair last week.
The winners took first place in the 880-yard relays to
wrest the lead from Alpha Psi
which had held a one-point mar­gin
going into finals.
Fifteen teams broke into the

The. Auburn Tigers' t r a c k t e am will compete with t h e Uni­v
e r s i t y of Alabama at Tuscaloosa tomorrow afternoon for t he
second dual meet of t h e season for both teams. In last Satur­day's
races, A u b u r n downed Mississippi State 72-58 on t he
Plains while Alabama was steam-rolling the University of
Tennessee 100-30 at Tuscaloosa.
Auburn will be out to break a
winning streak of 15 consecutive
dual meet victories compiled by
the Crimsons. Alabama, rated one
of the powers of SEC track this
spring, has not been beaten since
Auburn turned the trick in 1949.
* * *
JIM DILLION and Jack Creel
should continue to pace the Au­burn
point-getters. Dillion seems
a sure bet to annex victories in
the discus and'javelin throws and
to place in the shot put. Creel
should make the 100 and 220-yard
dashes interesting foot races,
while wining or placing in both
events.
Bill Fickling has consistently
pushed : 15.0 in the 120-yard high
hurdles for Auburn in the re­lays
and against State. Duncan
Bryant and Tommy Tate have
been consistent middle distance
performers, but the loss of ace
.1
quarter-miler Don Johnson due
to a pulled muscle will be felt
severely by Auburn.
* * *
AUBURN'S distance men—in­cluding
A l l i s o n Christopher,
Ewart Atkins, Jack Mitchell and
Bob Stine—should win places in'
the mile and two-mile events. Ed
Bauer, weight man; J u l i an
Brown, s p r i n t e r , and James
Spann, pole vault, round out
probable Tiger point winners.
The Bama scoring attack will
be led by weight man Carl
Shields and Bob Dolowitz; sprint­ers
Dick Richards, Mac McDon­ald
and. Chick Cichowski; dis­tance
runners Jerry DeRieux and
Jim Seaver, and hurdler Bill Bul-lard.
In the final tabulations Auburn
should give Alabama a close race
for total first places in the separ­ate
.events, but Bama depth may
prove to be the difference in the
meet score. Alabama scored seven
clean sweeps over the Volunteers,
while Auburn was able to place
three men in* only one race, the
two-mile run, against State.
"YOU'VE GOT TO STAY in shape," says A.P.I, trainer Kenny Howard to Jim Dillion, Tiger
track standout. Dillion, a junior from Harpster, Ohio, is a strong contender for a berth as discus man
on the United States Olympic team. Howard has already been selected as one of the trainers for the
American team which participates in th Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland, this summer.

'Millions Of Pills, Barrels Of Penicillin'HYP0 » A m
Administered Yearly By Drake Infirmary
By Howard Skelton
"Millions of blue-and-white pills, and barrels, of penicillin,
are administered to Auburn students trudging into Drake
Infirmary with colds each winter," states Mrs. Jeanne B.
Howard, clinic secretary.
From the time a freshman enters Auburn and takes his
physical entrance examination un­til
the day he gets his last pill, he
receives benefits of Auburn's
modern, efficient program of
health service.
This health service entitles resi­dent
students to 10 days of free
hospitalization during each calen­dar
year, general nursing care,
i routine medications, X-rays, lab­oratory
I work, room and board
basal metabolism rate, and use
of the operating room.
* * *
JOHN HODGES Drake Infirm­ary,
a 65-bed hospital maintained
for the exclusive use of students,
holds student clinic hours from 8
until 11:30 in the morning and from
1 until 4:30 in the afternoon. Dur­ing
these clinic hours, between
1,500 and 2,000 ailing students visit
the student clinic each month.
"Although we already have a
sound and adequate student health
program," Dr. Morgan W. Brown,
director of Drake Infirmary, states,
"we have launched a drive that,
..when completed, will make Au­burn's
student health service sec­ond
to none in the South."
Dr. Brown points out that the
program includes such noteworthy
features as out-patient medical and
surgical service, consultant medi­cal
and surgical specialists, hospi-tilization,
health education, local
ambulance service, medical super­vision
of physical education and
athletic programs.
* * *
DR. W. D. POUNCY, assistant
student health director, and a staff
of eight nurses, along with Dr.
Brown, handled more than 21,000
clinic patients during 1951. Twelve
hundred student cases were ad­mitted
to the hospital.
Colds are the most prevalent
disease treated at the infirmary,
with measles in second place, says
Mrs. Mary Sellers, clinic nurse
for eight years. She recalls the
time, several years ago, when al­most
the entire Auburn football
team was stricken with influenza.
Several members of the team had
to wear night gowns, as the flu
epidemic on campus had caused a
shortage of bed clothing as well as
an overcrowded infirmary. As she
walked into the corridor one morn­ing,
Mrs. Sellers recalls, she found
two burly tackles dancing the "Big

Tiger Baseball Captain Gene Hoehle
Plays Dual Role Of Pitcher, Infielder
For a first class pitcher and infielder combined, Edward
Eugene "Gene" Hoehle tops the list of Auburn's diamond crew.
Captain Hoehle, elected by his teammates to head'the
1952 edition of Coach Dick McGowen's baseballers, became
notable for his diamond talent in 1948, when as a senior at
Central High in-Memphis, Tenn.,
he was named ^on the all-city
team. He was also selected on the
all-state basketball aggregation
that year.
The stout righthander's great­est
thrill in Auburn baseball
came last year when Florida was
guest of the Plainsmen. Hoehle.
who eventually was winning pit­cher*
of the affair, slammed a
homer in a late inning to break
up the Gator hurler's no-hitter.
His ninth inning double with the
bases full won the game for Au­burn.
* * *
. HOEHLE recalls his best pitch­ing
effort as one against Tulane
last year in New Orleans where
he spun a four-hit, 8-2, victory
qver the Greenies. His pinch-hit
four-bagger, hit at an Alabama
moundman's expense when the
former was a sophomore, result­ed
in Hoehle's first enjoyable
ecstasy as a varsity baseballer.~
A senior now, Hoehle came to
Auburn to play both basketball
and football. Named captain of
the freshman cagers in 1949, he
lettered' the following year be­fore
giving up the hardwood
..game in favor of baseball in
which he will have earned three
letters at his season's conclusion.
During his first varsity year,
Hoehle compiled a .316 batting
average while alternating be­tween
pitcher and first baseman
chores. Last year, though playing
first base secondarily, he hurled
Auburn to four wins and two
losses, and batted .320.
* * *
SPORTING a current .356 bat­ting
means, the big blonde began
he year as a starting pitcher, but
forsake this for infield play due
to his consistent hitting and
practically e r r o r l e s s -fielding.
Gaining one favorable decision as
a pitcher, Hoehle has hit safely
in every Plainfman game this
