NINE SENIORS ARE
NAMED MEMBERS OF
HONORARY AG FRAT
Gamma Sigma Delta Names
New Members In Annual
Election Held This Week
MEN IN UPPER FOURTH
Membership of Society Is Com­posed
of Faculty, Students
and Alumni Members
V
Nine members of the senior class
in the school of agriculture were
honored Saturday morningj January
30, when Gamma Sigma Delta, na­tional
agricultural honor society, held
its annual election. The following
students were honored at the recent
election: C. F. Simmons, Andalusia
R. W. Montgomery, Moulton; H. E.
Logue, Troy; T. W. Lumpkin, Miller-ville;
E. C. Richardson, Cullman; W
H. Cowan, Tanner; W. Herbert John
son, Sweet Water; J. F. Turner, Pis
gah, and J. G. Goodman, Mobile.
The organization is made up of
students, faculty members, and alum
rii, and election for students is held
at the beginning of the second se
mester each year. The purpose of
Gamma Sigma Delta is to honor those
students in agriculture, who have
distinguished themselves in scholar­ship
and who have displayed leader­ship,
strength of character, and de­pendability
during their three and a
half years in college. The student
membership of the society is made
up of.men who have ranked in the
upper one-fourth of their class in
scholarship, and the number elected
each year is confined to fifteen per
cent of the senior class in agricul
ture.
Gamma Sigma Delta was founded
_in_l_?Q7_8t_ Iowa State and the Ala
bama chapter was installed in 1916.
Vets Short Course Is
Making Much Progress
Man is not doing what he should
for the dog—the best pal a man ever
had. Manufacturers of dog food may
place any sort of product on the
market since there is no sort of fed­eral
or state regulations to prevent
inferior products or even "junk" be­ing
labeled a balanced canine diet.
This flagrant evidence of canine
injustice was condemned here this
week by Dr. I. S. Hays, assistant
professor of veterinary medicine, and
others at the ninth annual short
course for veterinarians.
Dr. D. M. Campbell of Chicago
pointed out that commercial manu­facture
of dog food was in many
cases "just a racket," for much of
it contained as high as 75 per cent
water with the remainder consist­ing
of either .garbage or totally indi­gestible
fibrous material. "Many
times if the owner knew what the
high-priced dog food contained, he
would be actually afraid to feed it
to his valuable dog," he said.
Poultry and livestock feeds are
strictly regulated by state and na­tional
laws, but a manufacturer of
dog food may sell anything he likes,
it was pointed out. The dog indus­try
in the United States alone is val­ued
at $75,000,000 annually and such
regulations are highly necessary from
an economic point of view.
"Since a dog is one of the two
strictly carnivorous animals in do­mestication
(the cat being the oth­er),
it is absolutely necessary that
meat form an important portion of
the diet. Good meat containing
some fat—not just bones—should be
fed to the dog every day," said Dr.
Hays.
"The popularity of the dog as one
of the most desirable pets has in­creased
greatly in the last ten years"
he continued. The dog as a pet and
as a sporting animal has come to stay
and certainly there should be stand­ards
for the food for which large
sums of money are paid by owners."

in Continues To
Lead Tiger Scoring
Scoring eight points against Van-derbilt
in Auburn's last game, Tom
"Little Papa" Lumpkin, forward,
continues to lead the underfeated
Plainsmen basketball machine jn
scoring with 67 points, 49 of which
have been made against members of
the Southern Conference. The Tig­ers
have played seven games this
season.
Ralph Jordan, Lumpkin's running
mate at forward, is in second place
among the Tiger sharpshooters with
53 points. Other Auburn scorers
have been: Capt. Jack Stewart, 42
points; Lindley Hatfield, 31; Charles
Kaley and Harbin Lawson, 29 each;
Sam Mason, 6; David Ariail, 3, and
George Jenkins, 2.
Auburn, who meets Tulane in New
Orleans, Friday and Saturday, and
L. S. U. in Baton Rouge, Monday
and Tuesday, in its next games, has
averaged 37 points per game against
23 for seven opponents this year.
The Tigers have downed Hubbard
Hardware, 50-22; Birmingham-South­ern,
41-23; Vanderbilt twice, 36-23
and 38-23; Florida twice, 43--26 and
29-21^and Georgia Tech, 25-22.
Coach Sam McAllister's charges
looked good against the Commodores
here last Saturday evening. No play­er
stood head and shoulder above
another, but the six players used by
McAllister worked as a single unit.
Jordan led the scorers with nine
points, followed by Lumpkin and
Hatfield with eight ^each and Lawson
with six. Kaley saw service' for only
a few minutes, but scored four mark­ers.
Capt. Stewart took very few
shots, scoring three counters, but
(Continued on page 4)
Tremendous benefits to Southern
industries and agriculture from the
further development of inland water­ways
were pictured to Auburn stu­dents
by Col. Clarence B. Douglas,
special representative of the Inland
Waterways Corporation, who spoke
here Monday morning in Ross Chem­ical
Laboratory. "The government,"
he said, "plans the increase of its
2,800 miles of waterways into a 9,-
000 mile system."
Since the formation of the Inland
Waterways Corporation through na­tional
legislation, the project has be­come
a successful financial enter­prise.
The best engineering brains
of the country have been brought to­gether
to construct a system which
will benefit the entire area of the
Mississippi River and its' tributaries.
Now power boats with Deisel motors
and barges of modern design coupled
with the modern terminal facilities
that have been provided are making
the venture and entire success, he
said.
After a brief statement by Dr. J.
H. Goff, associate professor of busi­ness
administration and economics,
who was instrumental in arranging
the address, Colonel Douglas was in­troduced
by President Bradford
Knapp, a long-time friend of the
speaker. The Colonel paid a glow­ing
tribute to the life-work of Dr.
Knapp.
President Knapp pointed to the
federal barge line service to Birm­ingham
Port as a distinct asset to
Alabama, and one of the contribut­ing
factors toward the location of
the huge rubber plant in Gadsden.
This service has also resulted in low­er
fertilizer prices to Alabama farm­ers,
said Dr. Knapp.
Educator Pictures The
Eutopia Of School Days
A veritable school boy's Eutopia
where there are no grades, no exam­inations,
and where it is a foregone
conclusion that he will be promoted
to the next grade was described here
by Mrs. Marietta Johnson, founder
and head of the school of Organic
Education at Fairhope.
"The pupils of my school cannot
fail," she said, "for at Fairhope we
have no marks, no grades, and every
child is automatically promoted ac­cording
to age."
"I believe that all external require­ments
are unjust and that the sheer
joy of learning should be the only
incentive. To hold over the child
the fear of poor grades and failure
produces a double motive for study
and work which is destructive to in­tellectual
integrity. The reward for
learning is learning itself. The re­ward
for doing is the joy of doing
coupled with the inner satisfaction of
accomplishing that which is worth
while."
While in Auburn Mrs. Johnson dis­cussed
her revolutionary philosophy
of education with members of the
Auburn faculty who were greatly in­terested
in her ideas and the success
of her school at Fairhope. She at­tended
a dinner given in her honor at
the home of Mrs. Albert Thomas.
SIGMA NU QUINTET
EMERGES WINNER IN
INTERFRAT TOURNEY
Grant's Greelts Get Going
Good; Grab, Great Glory-
Graciously
FINAL SCORE, 20-18
Kappa Sigmas Go Down In
Hard Fought Finals Of The
Inter-fraternity Basketball
Meet
The most successful inter-fraterni­ty
basketball tournament yet staged,
from the standpoint of interest in
the games and the class of basketball
exhibited by the Greek quintets, was
brought to a close last night as the
Sigma Nu team won a hard fought
20 to 18 verdict over the Kappa Sig­mas.
Both teams were out for blood and
made it a real scrap from start to
finish. The score indicates the close­ness
of the battle and the large crowd
that attended saw a thrilling well-played
game. The winners were
awarded a small bronze statue of a
player in action as the championship
trophy and the runners-up received a
silver loving cup.
Close guarding featured the game
and several minutes elapsed after the
opening tip-off before the scoring
column was dented. Rutland, Kappa
Sigma forward, made a free- throw
good to put his team out in front and
the lead changed hands frequently
during the first half. The Sigma Nu
passers were leading by a one point
margin at the intermission by virtue
of Hitchcock's conversion of two foul
shots shortly before the end of the
half.
Two field goals in rapid order as
the second period commenced put the
Sigma Nu quintet out in front and
they remained there until George Wil­liams
caged a field goal to tie the
count at 18 all with two minutes of
play remaining. Another goal from
the floor decided the issue, however,
and the game ended with the Sigma
Nu's clinging to I the narrow two
point margin.
The teams were evenly matched
with the Sigma Nu team probably
having a little edge in defensive play.
Rip Williams, Kappa Sig scoring ace,
was held in check but his team-mate,
Brower, broke loose to score 10 points
for the high score mark of the eve­ning.
Jimmie Hitchcock accounted
for six points to lead the scoring of
the winners. Bill and Scott Turk,
Sigma Nu guards, put up wonderful
exhibitions of close guarding under
their opponent's basket and gave the
Kappa Sigma forwards few scoring
opportunities.
The Sigma Nu team, coached by
Porter Grant, defeated the Lambda
Chi Alpha, Beta Kappa, and T. U. O.
teams in winning their way to the
finals, after drawing a bye in the
opening round. The Kappa Sigmas
had won over the Phi Kappa Delta,
Sigma Phi Sigma, Phi Delta Theta,
and S. A. E. teams before entering
the final match.
Farris Issues Final Call
For Information Cards
Editor Farris, of the Glome­rata,
announced today that all
information cards for the cur­rent
Year Book must be filled
out by Saturday of this week.
He stated that cards had been
placed in the Tiger Drug store,
with a box to deposit them in.
Unless this is done immediately
none of the individual's attain­ments
can be listed with his
picture in the book.
It is also urged that all entries
for the "beauty and favorite"
sections be submitted in the
next few days.
CAMP INVITED TO
TEXTILE MEETING
Committee to Consider Placing
Of $100,000 In Textile Re­search
Fellowships
To attend a meeting of the advisory
committee of the Textile Founda­tion,
Prof. E. W. Camp, head of the
school of textile engineering, will
leave for New York City, where the
gathering will be held Thursday,
February 11.
The meeting will be held for the
purpose of considering the placing
of fellowships for textile research
work in American institutions. The
organization has a fund amounting
to $100,000 to be expended within
two years, Prof. Camp said, and the
task of naming the colleges to re­ceive
appropriations will be the main
work of the committee. He 'added
that he hoped to get fellowships
placed at Auburn.
The invitation to attend the meet­ing
is an honor to Prof. Camp and
Auburn, college officials stated. He
is the only member of the committee
who represents a textile school.
This is considered a signal honor
since the Textile Course is compara­tively
new in Auburn.
Prof. Camp said that he intended
to visit the New York City Textile
High School, recently erected at a
cost of $3,000,000, with the hope of
getting ideas that might be used in
Auburn. He said that he will also
visit .manufacturers inspecting equip­ment
• in textile testing laboratories,
and attempting to get further dona­tions
for the school here.

Ground Hog Refuses
To Commit Self On
Weather In Auburn
Noontime came yesterday in
Auburn amid the typical incle­mency
so common to the village.
It was not just another rainy day,
with an excuse from the drill pe­riod.
It was "ground hog day."
As father time gently aroused him
for his annual venture to the sur­face
of terrestial things he was
well aware of the anticipation with
which the all trusting mortals
awaited his time honored proph­ecy,
of the elements behaviour for
the next few months to come.
Stretching himself in a manner
becoming of a student with an eight
o'clock class, the exalted chipmonk
peered down College street. There
an incessant patter of rain beat
upon those who dared to venture
from shelter of their portals. Yes,
spring is just in the offing. The
noble anirnal's work was done,
there was no need for deliberation.
Then as an afterthought—this
is Auburn. What rules could be
placed on the weather of this city?
It was raining here when he first
predicted natural phenomena, and
it possibly has been since that time.
He scratched his wooly head in
perplexity, and returned to his hib­ernation.

New Men's Store Opens
With Fashionable Lines
A haberdashery of the more nobby
order has recently been opened in
Auburn. This new concern in under
the managership of Jimmie Fort, who
is representing Glenn H. McNair.
McNair has long been a popular tail­or
among Auburn students, and the
opening of an all-time sales head­quarters
for his clothes has been ac­corded
much enthusiasm.
The new shoppe handles men's
furnishings of a most complete fash­ion.
The location is directly back of
Benson Brothers' establishment.
Joseph O. Purvis
(Dissipated Press Correspondent)
Eight miles from Shanghai, on the
Yangste River, Feb. 3-32—(DP) —
Special to The Plainsman—Cut off by
a band of roving Chinese gorillas, I
have succeeded in setting up my
transmitting device in an abandoned
junk and in this manner hope to send
to the United States and to Auburn,
the unknown circumstances which
surround the chaotic state of affairs
in which China, Japan, Russia and
Manchuria (Manchuria counts only
on week days and Russia takes time
out on Thursday afternoon, due to
certain conditions set forth by the
Rules Committee, of the Five Year
Plan) now find themselves. Little
do the American people and Auburn
students know that the whole beast­ly
affair was started when a member
of the Kzxopin faction in Zibiicfr, a
suburb of Tokyo, went to China
last summer under the guise of
friendship and stole a pair of dia­mond
studded chop-sticks from one
of the leading members of Tolihoho
Tong. %
Now, if there is anything a China­man
hates more than a Japanese, it
is a Japanese chop-stick stealer. Men
are hung without trial, in China, for
much less serious offences than this.
When interviewed, Bong Bong, lead­er
of the outraged tong, said that a
chop-stick stealer corresponded close­ly
to the Texas horse-thief. Despite
the weakened condition, the brother
in Tolihohonism, found himself af­ter
making several attempts to eat
with custom built chop-sticks, he
managed to drag himself to the se­cret
meeting place, where Toliho-hoans
were hq-di-hoing and laid be­fore
them his dark and nefarious
plan. Coming out of the huddle, the
"committee on revenges", sent for a
pair of chop-sticks, encrusted with
imitation stones, so that poor broth­er
could at least eat half-heartedly.
From that time until open hostilities
were begun communications were es­tablished
between Japanese military
leaders and the various war lords
which speckle China like flies on a
stick of peppermint candy. It was
decided that if certain rules were
formulated that both countries could
possibly realize numerous benefits
from a prolonged skirmish. It was
decided that Japan was to tip off
Russia and then make a determined
drive for the heart of the Manchurian
territory. China would then raise a
big howl and the several nations
throughout the world would send;
notes to Japan asking them to with­draw
troops from the Manchurian
area. By doing this they could ac­complish
a double purpose, namely:
a great deal of much needed publi­city
would be given both countries,
the American cigarette companies
might offer a few yens for an en­dorsement
and then of course the
little son of the Mikado is collecting
autographs and so far has not been
able to secure one from Secretary
of State Stimson and Prime "Minister
MacDonald. There is nothing the two
people like better than seeing their
names in American newspapers but
(Continued on page 4)
College athletic officials today an­nounced
the football schedule to be
played by the Auburn grid team in
1932. Eight games are listed on the
future calendar with the probability
that one or two more games will be
added as soon as they can be con­veniently
arranged.
As usual the Tigers will open their
card with a nocturnal encounter
against Birmingham-Southern, • on
September 23, at Cramton Bowl, in
the capitol city. An open date fol­lows
this engagement before Wallace
Wade brings his Blue Devils to Birm­ingham
to play Auburn for the first
time in the history of the two insti­tutions.
The other added game which was
not played last year will be with the
University of Mississippi. The game
is to be played in Montgomery. The
remaining teams to be played are
Georgia Tech, Tulane, Florida, Geor­gia
and South Carolina. The Caro­lina
game will be played on the
Gamecock's home grounds on the first
Saturday in December. There has
been no Thanksgiving game sched­uled
so far, but there is a possibility
that that date may be taken before
the end of the school year.
From advance statements issued
from the various spring training
camps over the South there seem to
no easy games among those arranged
for what is hoped to be the greatest
grid team that has come out of the
Plains in the past two decades.
The schedule released today is as
follows:
Sept. 28—Birmingham-Southern at
Montgomery (Friday night,)
Oct. 1—Open.
Oct. 8—Duke at Birmingham.
Oct. 15—Georgia Tech at Atanta.
Oct. 22—Tulane at New Orleans.
Oct. 29—University of Mississippi
at Mongomery.
Nov. 5—Open.
Nov. 12—Florida at Montgomery.
Nov. 19—Georgia at Columbus.
Nov. 26—Open.
Dec. 3—South Carolina at Co­lumbia.
Inter-fraternity Council
Will Give Annual Dance
It was learned today that plans
for the annual Inter-fraternity
Council dance were being formed. A
tentative date, April 15, has been
set as the time for the entertain­ment.
More definite statements will
be issued in he near future concern­ing
the orchestra and decorations. It
was unofficially stated that both con­tracts
would be open for bids, that
phase of the program also to be an­nounced
later.
Further announcements were to
the effect that each fraternity would
be allowed eight tickets to the dance
and are to be distributed as each fra­ternity
wishes. These tickets will be
distributed and apportioned by the
secretary and treasurer of the coun­cil.
Bids for the occasion which has
yearly proved to be the most popular
single dance of the school's social
calendar will be sent out some time
before the date of the affair. It is
extremely doubtful tha"t fraternities
will open their houses to the visiting
young ladies during that time as this
has not been practiced in the past
and the council itself does not deem
it wise to set a precendent at that
time. All other arrangements are
being planned however to make the
dance as highly commendable as it
has been since it's inauguration.

UNCOUTH ECHOES
Auburn boistrousness continues to exert
its disconcerting influence on campus life.
The Tiger Theater, chief amusement cent­er
of Auburn, still is frequented by that
element unversed in any symbol of respect
for their fellow man.
The management of the theater has pro­vided
one of the most complete plants in
the state. The sound effects are practical­ly
unsurpassed, until marred by the nau-sating
repartee that certain individuals who
insist in throwing out for the benefit of an
~ unappreciative audience.
The exponents of such actions, seem to
be attempting to nourish something that
was mislabeled "Auburn Spirit" sometime
in a primative past. They seem to feel a
deep sense of obligation to carry on some­thing
that has been unjustly called an Au­burn
trait.
There are many students in Auburn that
do not approve of the uncouth action of a
few.
THE GOLDEN PRESENT
Since the chaotic days of 1918 world his­tory
has lain dormant. For a decade the
world receded to the aftermath of recon­struction
and commercial activity. Since
the general ccllapse of the business world
in 1928, many developments have come to
mark themselves upon the scroll of modern
history.
For over three years the Russian Bear
has slowly reared itself under the iron hand
of Statlin, until it now stands crouched
upon the horizon of world commerce, bask­ing
in the new sun for the first time since
the Mongolian invasion of northern Europe.
A gigantic territory of potential power is
developing into a reality from the fantastic
idea of the Five-Year Plan. Five years ago
and the powers smiled at the thought of
unprogressive Russia; they now are mak­ing
advances to a highly probable future
ally. Next year will determine the final
success of the most complete communistic
attempt in the history of the universe.
Should they reach their objective the
world must prepare itself for a new era of
concentrated communism among the lesser
and least progressive nations.
Jealous departments of state saw fit to
load Germany with an almost insurmount­able
mass of reparations. Until a few
years ago the real drain upon the finan­cial
sources of that country was not alarm­ingly
evidenced. The whip-hand now feels
the sting of the lash; the leading econo­mists
throughout the world say that there
is no hope of normalcy in the shrunken
business world until the problem of the
fatherland is solved. Too late, it seems
to save a larger crash than has already
come. England with it's millions of un­employed
has gone off the gold standard
and loses millions in foreign trade each
year. Franch and the United States are
the only nations that have retained a rec-ognizeable
amount of their former status.
Japan faces eastward and pushes into
• Manchuria and China; The League of Na­tions
has done nothing to stem the tide, but
send official notes which ^are as regularly
ignored. Further developments are in­evitable
within the next month. There will
be some nations that will not be able to
keep out of the Asiatic difficulties which
will terminate in more serious complica­tions.
History is in the making and may
thus be termed the golden decade though
the world shall make no progress until the
several nations in foreign entanglements
have succeeded in solving the major prob­lems
which confront'them.
THE AUBURN BAND
With the apr. roach of the pre-Lenten sea­son
comes the possibility of the Auburn
Band attending the annual Mobile Mardi
Gras. For many years the musical organ­ization
has been a feature at the celebra­tion
and this year should be no exception,
for if present plans materialize, the band
will leave Friday morning for Mobile.
The band is undoubtedly one of Auburn's
assets and does much to build up good will
for this institution, in addition to perform­ing
it's duties that consist of playing for
football games, military formations, and
varous concerts.
The band is deserving of a big hand, and
The Plainsman takes this opportunity to
congratulate the personnel and the director,
Mr. P. R. Bidez.
SHADES OF PERICLES AND
BRYANT
For the past three years a small group
of students have made an attempt to nour­ish
the fast fading art of debate as -an
extra curricular activity. The art of de­bating
and oratory has not yet quite died
from lack of supporters. The care given
this branch of inter-school activity which
was forced to give up inter-collegiate de­bating
three years ago has not lacked the
support of true enthusiasts but has come
to a grave state of affairs from the de­cided
lack of numbers. The English de­partment
offers courses which can but
temporarily interest the student and de­spite
the efforts of the Debating Club
there have been but few whom have roused
the initiative to respond to their invita­tion
of membership. The institutional re­quirements
of an agricultural and engi­neering
school naturally do not offer or
require a broad course of study of the
English language. The ancient and high­ly
respected art of debate and oratory of­fers
the student who has only a few hours
in each week to devote to extra-curricular
activities the opportunity to more com­pletely
master the usage of his na­tive
tongue. Only constant and practiced
usage of an language will terminate in an
almost complete mastery. The time has
come when all students interested in the
revival of one of the least appreciated and
most deserving of the finer arts should
come to the support and aid in placing it
again upon the pedestal where it rightfully
belongs.

while engaged in one
of my favorite pas­times
of reading ad­vertisements
just to
keep up with t he
times as I turned the
pages of a familiar
weekly magazine the
following words sud­denly
attracted my attention:
"AUBURN'S LEADERSHIP"
"When Auburn speaks it is the voice
of authority for an increasing
number of people. Their attitude
is based upon a knowledge of what
is behind Auburn—of the experi­ence—
of successful pioneering—of
the many times Auburn has led
the way for others to follow."
The rest of the advertisement referred to
the commodity for sale, and you can guess
what its subject was. The words I have
quoted were almost like reading my own
thoughts. For the past week or so we
have become a little bit careless and in­different
regarding our real objective. It
j s possible for one to stub his toe without
falling. It is possible also to correct er­rors
which are real without tearing down
the whole machinery. If you do not be­lieve
what I have quoted from this adver­tisement
and believe it as applying to this
school, and if you are not willing to work
to bring that about when I think you owe it
to yourself and those of us who are cour­ageously
working for the honor and in­tegrity
of Auburn to leave Auburn and let
us work the problem out. Many of our
problems can be. worked out if we have the
right attitude of mind. But nothing can
be worked out on pure exaggeration or
fault-finding. I like our trying to face the
truth but I think we should show some
commonsense. One sparrow does not make
a summer nor does one fault or one infrac­tion
of the rules of good conduct destroy
either the character of an individual or of
a school. There are many things that we
are trying to settle but just complaining
about them in public will not alone bring
results. They can be settled much more
easily by a quiet conference between the
faculty and students intent upon Auburn
and its real leadership in things worth­while.

Out over the State of Alabama leadership
from Auburn is- being shown wonderfully
by the Extension Service in a great series
of "Outlook Meetings" in which there is
being brought to every farm community
the truth as nearly as the Extension Ser­vice
with all of it's connection can take the
truth regarding prospects for the year 1932
to our people that fai'mers of Alabama
may know what they ought to do about
their plans for 1932.

Nobody at Auburn wishes any more than
I do that we could do some things which
have had to be left undone. The greatest
sacrifice we have had to make in recent
times was the decision not to go in debt
for the building of a real auditorium at
this institution. Had the auditorium as
planned been constructed it would have sol­ved
a number of problems—problems which
the student body is bringing up at the pres­ent
time—problems which they cannot un­derstand
but which nevertheless are de­pendent
entirely on getting an auditorium.
Let me give one or two examples. It is
impossible to hold a real student convoca­tion
at this institution because the audi­torium
we now have seats less than 700
while the enrollment is about 1800. There
is no building at Auburn in which the en­tire
community can assemble. Another
thing is this: if you were to take the entire
seating capacity of Langdon Hall and
charge a dollar and a half a seat you could
not pay for the cost of bringing a Sym­phony
Orchestra to this place, as much as
I wish we could have one. Repeatedly
we have had an opportunity to bring
concerts and lecturers here where it was
figured we could not make it pay for the
reason that Langdon Hall's seating capaci­ty
is too limited. With the two communi­ties
here together—Opelika and Auburn—
and a good auditorium with a seating ca­pacity
of 2400, which was the plan, we
could easily support a lecture and enter­tainment
course as well as any other insti­tution.
Without it we are sorely handi­capped.
Then, too, if we had that audito­rium
as planned basketball would pay its
own way. There was an arrangement by
which a seating capacity of 1800 to 2000
could be accommodated at a basketball game
in the auditorium. At the present time it
is pretty difficult to get one-fourth of the
student body into the Gymnasium and leave
room for the playing of a basketball game.
If we had this auditorium and a stadium
that would seat even 10,000 people we
could make the athletics self-supporting and
have money enough for some of these other
important things. But the institution faces

The Alchemist, student organ of Brenau

the election committee.
"Although no official statement con­cerning
this discrepancy has been made,
it is understood that a final totaling of
votes showed approximately 500 less

preceding the popularity election
holding campus-wide attention this

"Although the first was an anonymity,
it was obviously a publication of Theta

Attention of this sheet was cen­tered
on The Reveille and its editor,

INSIGHTS
By Conscientious Cletus
EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this
column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of
this paper. It is a column of personal comment,
and is not to be read as an expression of our
editorial policy.
ABOUT the only suggestion that has
been made in this column during
the whole year, that someone has
not taken violent exception too, was the sug­gestion
that more Auburn students attend
the literary societies. In order to again
have the honor of making a statement that
only a few students are willing to fight
about, Cletus would like to suggest that
every Auburn student attend one of the
literary societies. It is true that the pro­gram
will be boring, and the evening prac­tically
wasted, but if all the oratorical abil­ity
of those who have been telling Cletus
exactly how to jump in the lake could be
massed together, there is no telling how
far back into the woods Demosthenes would
have to go.
It does seem slightly ironical, however,
that such a large number of words are used
by those students who wish to make clear
to Cletus that mere words do no good af­ter
all.
A lot has been said during the course of
this year regarding Auburn's form of stu­dent
government and its failure to meet the
conditions on the campus, but as yet no
movement has been started to bring about
the changes that are absolutely necessary
to meet the present situation. Auburn
would be better off without any form of
student government than with the present
organization that is resulting in increased
lack of confidence on the part of the whole
student body.
This criticism is not necessarily directed
at the students who have charge of carry­ing
out the principles set forth in the Con­stitution
any more than a criticism of the
Articles of Confederation was an indica­tion
that the officers of our early govern­ment
were incompetent. The general ex­pressions
of dissatisfaction that have been
heard all during the year from almost all
divisions of the college do mean, however,
that a radical change in our Undergraduate
Constitution should be brought about im­mediately.
Statements have also been generally made
throughout the campus that Auburn will
never have a workable student government
and students making such statements pro­ceed
to give long lists of reasons why. In
this list of reasons they point out why we
should be content to keep our present form
of student government. The argument that
we should keep our present form of gov­ernment
because nothing better offers, is
no better than the argument that we should
defend a quick cancer cure on the ground
that no other cure is known.
That is one side of the question, yet, on
the other side, we could have something
better offered if the proper steps were tak­en
by those in position to take them.
An open revolution is one way to bring
about a change, but that is quite unneces­sary
if the Executive Cabinet will sense the
growing impatience of the Auburn students
with existing conditions and give this im­patience
a change to express itself through
the proper channels.
Just as soon as we accept the fact that
our present constitution is a failure, and
proceed along the proper lines to get a new
one, then and not until then will Auburn's
student government reach the point of ef­ficiency
that everyone has a right to expect
of an institution of Auburn's standing.
The least difficult method would be for
the Executive Cabinet to submit to the stu­dent
body for approval, some method of
writing and adopting a new constitution,
but many students are of the opinion that
the Executive Cabinet does not have even
the power to do this.
* * * *
Manchuria is a long way off, separated in
almost every particular from the life of
America, so that it may seem rather stupid
of our government to concern itself with
the affair, but as'we look over the news­papers,
we are forced to realize that whole
thing is much more serious than we first
expected.
The world is just beginning to realize
that no longer can isolated wars be waged,
or disputes limited to two or three coun­tries;
that closely interwoven international
interests actually constitute a threat to the
peace of the world. That student's now
in universities will be fodder for Mars in a
war if declared today, lends especial inter­est
to any move to prevent fights between
nations.
There is a growing recognition of the
axiom that the world cannot afford to let
war start anywhere. The future history
of the world will depend largely upon the
speed and thoroughness with which that
lesson is learned and applied.
You cannot graft materialism on a Celt.
If you do, you make a very terrible com­pound.—
Stanley Baldwin.

TIGERS ENTRAIN THURSDAY FOR
GAMES WITH TULANE AND L. S. U.
T i g e r s Encounter Tulane Friday and Saturday Nights in New
Orleans and L. S. U. Monday and Tuesday Nights In Ba­ton
Rouge; Stiff Opposition Expected
By Neil O. Davis
The Auburn Tiger basketeers will
entrain for New Orleans- Thursday
night, on an extended trip which in­cludes
games with Tulane and L. S.
U. The Tigers encounter Tulane on
Friday and Saturday nights in New
Orleans and then they go to Baton
Rouge, where they will meet the
strong L. S. U. cagers on Monday
and Tuesday night. This will be the
longest trip for the Plainsmen this
season and will be one of the hard­est.
The team will have only one
day, Sunday, between the two series
of games and they will be traveling
part of that day.
Both Tulane and L. S. U. are
strong contenders for the S. C. title
this year, although neither have such
impressive records to date. Tulane
got off to a bad start but they have
improved steadily and will stage a
strong fight on their home court. As
a result of defeating Mississippi
twice the past week, L. S. U.'s con­ference
standing is much higher. They
are a real threat to any team in the
conference.
The only ailing member of the
Tiger squad, Kaley, who has been
out with an injured foot, has about
recuperated and took part in the
scrimmage Tuesday afternoon. With
the return of Kaley to the lineup, the
Plainsmen will have their full force
to throw against Tulane and L. S. U.
With Jordan, Lumpkin, Stewart,
Hatfield, and Kaley all going good,
Auburn should have little trouble in
taking all four of these games. The
Tigers have an impressive record to
date, with five wins and no losses,
and they do not intend to have it mar­red
on this trip. Only two more
games, one with Georgia Tech on
February 13th, and one with Geor­gia
on February 15th, remain on the
Tigers' schedule after the extended
road trip. Of the remaining six
games, Georgia Tech will probably
offer Auburn the stiffest competition.
After the Georgia battle here, Cap­tain
Jack Stewart and Company start
intensive training for the Southern
Conference tournament to be played
in Atlanta on March 1.

Forty Auburn Students
May Attend Blue Ridge
With the coming summer, forty
Auburn students will be given the
opportunity to work at Blue Ridge
during the last part of May and the
month of June. Since Auburn stu­dents
will have completed their final
examinations by this time they are
being offered this proposal over stu­dents
of other southern institutions,
who do not get out as early. If" pos­sible,
the services of twenty boys and
girls are being sought. In brief the
proposition is as follows: The boys
are to begin work from May 27 to
June 17, receiving their room and
board for that period of time plus
$25.00 to apply on their expenses for
the-ten day student Y. M. C. A. con­ference
beginning on the latter date.
This amount practically covers the
costs while there. The girls will work
from May 27 to June 7, receiving
their room and board for that time
plus $12.50 to appy toward their ex-,
penses for the ten day student Y. W.
C. A. conference beginning on the
latter date. This amount practical­ly
covers half the costs while there.
This is not only an exceptionally
good" opportunity to make contact
with national and international Y.
W. and Y. M. leaders, but it is also
an enjoyable vacation period in a
wholesome atmosphere and in a land
of scenic beauty. Quoting part of
the letter from Dr. W. D. Weather-ford,
executive secretary of the Blue
Ridge association, regarding this:
"We want only boys and girls who
are intensely interested in the relig­ious
life on the campus. We want
none except those who are rising jun­iors
or seniors, preferably rising sen­iors
and those who can help when
they get back to their college cam­pus."
We would like for all of those in­terested
in this opportunity and who
would like to go to Blue Ridge, to
come by the "Y" office and talk with
us about it.

Robert Dollar Figure
Among Shipping Men
One of the most unique personal­ities
of the United States is Rob­ert
Dollar, chairman of the board of
directors and founder of the Dollar
Steamship Lines, who is nearing his
88th milestone, and is as active as
any of his associates half his age.
If one has read Peter B. Kyne's
"Cappy Ricks", he knows Robert Dol­lar,
for Kyne has stated he took the
"Grand Old Man of the Pacific" as
the prototype of the dynamic old
shipping master who dominates the
Kyne tales.
Age seems to mean little to Cap­tain
Robert Dollar, for there is not
one of the "President" liners or
freight liners of his immense fleets
that tie up at San Francisco but the
active head of the Lines which bear
his name makes a thorough inspec­tion
of the vessel from the bilges to
the bridge.
The title of "Chairman of the
Board" seems to mean little to this
man who made his rise from a chore
boy in the Canadian woods to the
"Dean" of American shipping men.
His office door is open at all times to
any of his associates, down to the
newest office-boy.
And Robert Dollar is not "sitting
by" during these so-called hard-times.
Just a few weeks ago the
Dollar organization announced that
Bombay, India would be added as a
port of call, giving tourists and
American merchants direct access to
India.
Not all of his success can be
credited to himself, Robert Dollar
states, for without the help of "Moth­er",
many of his plans might have
failed. Mrs. Dollar, the former Mar­garet
Proudfoot and Captain Dollar
have three sons; R. Stanley, J. Har­old,
and A. Mellville Dollar, all fig­ures
in the shipping world.
Housewives who have a care for4_
fine linens will find valuable inform­ation
in a bulletin written by Miss
Dana Gatchell, associate pi'ofessor of
home economics at Auburn. It is
titled, "The Care of Linen," and goes
into detail to explain its proper care
as well as methods of removing
many types of stains. Proper stor­age
of linen to prevent a minimum
of deterioration is also included.
Women adore lovely linen but af­ter
it is secured, how many really
know how to properly care for it?"
says Miss Gatchell. "Fine linens
are heirlooms handed down to us
from fine needlewomen, lace makers
and weavers. They are heirlooms
even though they have not been
handed down from ancestral grand­mothers.
The housewife should have
a real appreciation of good linen that
serves its purpose so well.
"Linen is noted for its smoothness
of texture, its brilliancy which laun­dering
enhances, its wearing quali­ties,
and exquisite freshness. Linen
has been called the texture of lux­ury."
The bulletin explains every detail
in making storage cases for linen.
"Suitable storage of linen when not
in use is absolutely necessary if long
years of service are expected."
"Linen properly cared for is a joy
to,the housewife and it is a pleasure
to know that lovely linen is always
ready," said Miss Gatchell.

extension work in Ala­bama
women are taking their places
in commerce and business, the Au­burn
Business and Professional Wo­men's

at Auburn.
In her talk Miss Garrett compared
extension work to the club of which
she was a guest. Principles, aims,
and objectives were declared by her
to be very similar.
The emblem of the organization
was declared to be symbolic of light,
harmony, progress, and knowledge,
those being objectives of home dem­onstration
extension work.
The program of the meeting was
arranged by the Emblem Committee,
of which Mrs. Alma Whatley is chair­man.
Men are of two classes—those
who do their best work today and
forget about it and those who prom­ise
to do their best tomorrow and
forget about it.

The year 1931 was a banner year
for demonstration club women and
4-H club girls of Alabama. Enroll­ment
totaled 29,228 in 46 of the 67
counties having home demonstration
agents. Of these 15,746 were girls
and 13,482 were women. Increased
enrollment over previous year, girls
19.1 per cent; women 16.7 per cent.
Increases over 1919 were 362 per
cent for girls and 448 per cent for
women.
These club women did big things
during 1931. In fact, Miss Helen
Johnston, state home demonstration
agent at Auburn, reports that it was
the banner year for this work by the
county ho'me demonstration agents
and the state staff of 'supervisors and
specialists.
And the statistics bear evidence to
support Miss Johnston's statement.
These 29,228 women and girls pro­duced
in 1931 products worth $2,-
724, 662.56—an average exceeding
$50,000 per county.
And $1,104,646.36 of this was ac­tually
received for products which
they produced and sold. Products
which were not sold were consumed
on the farm.
"As an emergency measure," said
Miss Johnston, "special emphasis was
placed upon the conservation of food,
and 46 agents reported fruits, vege­tables,
and meats canned for winter
use to the amount of 1,903,637
quarts, an increase of 973,492 quarts
over the 1930 report.
"Emphasis was placed also upon
an economy program in clothing, and
6,865 farm women and girls report­ed
a saving $85,117.60 by making
garments at home, by dry cleaning
at home, by making over garments,
and by making garments and house­hold
articles from food, feed, and
fertilizer sacks.
AUBURN WINS FIFTH CONFERENCE
TILT DOWNING VANDY SATURDAY
Ralph Jordan Leads Auburn Attack As T i g e r s T a k e Early Lead
And Gradually Draw Away F r om Opponents; Defensive
Work of J a c k S t e w a r t Halts Vandy Scoring Ace
Auburn crack basketball machine
tuned in its fifth conference vic­tory
Saturday night by defeating the
Vanderbilt Commodores, 38 to 23, in
the alumni gym. The Tigers had
previously defeated Coach Josh
Cody's quintet in Nashville.
Ralph Jordan led the Auburn at­tack
as the Tigers jumped into an
early lead and gradually drew away
from their opponents. Although
Jordan was high scorer for the
Plainsmen with nine points, Lump­kin
and Hatfield trailed closely be­hind,
each accounting for eight
points. The passing was smooth and
the Tiger sharpshooters had little
trouble in maintaining a lead.
The excellent defensive work of
Captain Jack Stewart held Foster,
Vandy's scoring ace, in check and the
big forward sank only one field goal
during the entire game. At the time
of the game Foster was leading the
entire conference in scoring. Stew­art's
ability to control the tip-off was
also a big factor in the superiority
shown by the Tigers.
Huggins was the big shot for the
Commodores, sinking five field goals

Livingston Relates Narrow Escape
From Death While In Philippines
Attack'By Moro and An Account Of His Service In Army Dur­ing
Earthquake in San Francisco Given; Other Interesting
Experiences Are Related
A narrow escape from death by a
treacherous Moro, while doing duty
in the Philippines, and exciting ex-
* periences during the San Francisco
earthquake of 1906, are among the
events related in another chapter
from the 35 years of army experi­ence
by Master Sergeant Charles
Livingston of the R. O. T. C. unit.
"On my arrival at Manila I was
assigned to 'D' company, 1st. bat­talion
of engineers. The battalion
was split up in detachments, each
having a different duty to perform,
such as surveying, mapping, bridge-building,
construction work on Cor-regidor
Island and Cavite. In fact,
we were the working unit of the
American forces. There was very
little trouble at this time in Manila
and vicinity; nothing exciting, but
plenty of hard work.
"After six months of work a de­tachment
was assigned on duty with
the infantry in the Moro district.
The Moros were creating consider­able
trouble. They were very treach­erous
and fearless, and had the fa­natical
belief that if they died fight­ing
their enemies their reward would
be eternal happiness.
"Soon after my arrival in the Moro
district, and while walking post on
guard, a Moro approached me with
his arms folded and concealed under
a sort of cloak that was worn over
his soldiers. I challenged him and
held up my left hand as a sign for
him to stop. With his left hand he
held up a white cloth. There were
quite a few friendly Moros among
these tribes and very often they
would give our troops valuable in­formation.
So, when he held up the
white cloth I thought he was a
friendly Moro and permitted him to
approach. When within about ten
feet he leaped at me with a weapon
called a 'crease' held in his right
hand. Luckily, as he leaped, I jump­ed
back far enough to receive the
blow which he had intended for my
head, on my left hand as I held my
rifle toward him. That was the last
damage that Moro ever did, for when
the 'battle' ended, 'Mr. Moro' had
five 30-calibre bullets in his 'carcas'.
I do not know whether or not he
went to eternal happiness, which was
his fanatical belief, but I do know
where I hope he went in order that
he might receive some punishment
for causing me to have a crippled left
hand for the rest of my life.

"The poison used on these creases
is often fatal, and I owe my life
probably, to the excellent care given
by the army doctors stationed there
at that time.
"The most notorious and shrewd­est
chief was Datu Ali, who had
about 2,000 very loyal warriors. The
American forces attacked his strong­hold
and annihilated his warriors, but
Datu Ali escaped. The MoYos, un­der
the leadership of Datu Ali, con­tinued
to cause trouble up until
1905.- It was then that Captain
Frank R. McCoy, who was General
Wood's Aide at that time, led the
troops that hunted down and killed
Datu Ali. (The Captain Frank R.
McCoy mentioned is now a Major
General and until recently was i«
command of the Fourth Corps Areas,
and stationed at Fort McPherson, in
Atlanta, Ga.) So, with the previous
capture of Aquinaldo by General
Funstan, the two leading trouble­makers
of the Moros were disposed
of and little trouble occurred after
that.
"After the annihilation of Datu
Ali's warriors I was transferred back
to the United" States, and sent to
Fort Leavenworth, Kans., with "D"
company, 1st battalion of engineers.
This was in 1902. Nothing of in­terest
happened until in the spring
of 1904 when the Missouri River had
such a rampage and there was one
of the greatest floods this district
had ever witnessed. The greatest
damage and loss of life was at Kan­sas
City. Our battalion was ordered
to the stricken district with our pon­toon
boats and bridge equipment. We
were in the flooded area for ten
days, on duty day and night with
very little sleep or rest. I wish to
state without fear of contradiction
that if it had not been for the prompt
and highly efficient service render­ed
by the soldier's the loss of life
would have been much greater. It
was raining for several days and
quite cold. Hundreds of houses were
washed away; the inmates marooned
on small areas of higher ground. We
used our pontoon boats in the res­cuing
of hundreds of flood stricken
people. We lost three soldiers by
drowning during our rescue work,
but saved many lives of the suffer­ers.
"In 1905 we were ordered to Ft.
Mason, California, for duty. This
post is situated at the end of Van-ness
Avenue, on a large rock over­looking
San Francisco bay, near the
edge of the city at that time. In
April of 1906 the great earthquake
and fire of San Francisco took place.
One cannot describe this awful ca­tastrophe.
No one can ever really
tell just how it happened, nor would
a person not there at the time be­lieve
what one would relate.
"Fire broke out immediately after
several severe shocks and spread rap­idly.
There was a high wind which
carried the fire from the eastern
part of the city towards the west­ern
part. There was no way to check
the fire, for the good reason that the

quake had broken and torn up all
the water mains. By the time the
engines arrived at the bay and made
the fire hose connections from the bay
to the fire there was very little that
could be done for the fire was then
beyond control. Also, the necessity
of using salt water in the boilers of
the fire engines caused much trouble.
In a short time the fire was so in­tense
that the water from the fire
hose would be only a mist when
reaching the fire.
"The fire continued to spread and
threatened' the entire city. * It was
then decided that the only way the
western part might be" saved was by
blowing up the buildings on the east
side of Vanness Avenue, thus cre­ating
a wide space, ahead of the fire.
All the houses, the entire length of
the avenue, were dynamited. The
avenue was very wide, and with the
added district just dynamited made
a space of about 300 feet wide. About
the time that the fire department was
going to turn the hose on the build­ings
on the western side of Vartness
Avenue to keep them from burning
as much as possible, the wind chang­ed
and drove the fire back over the
burned district. The residents of
the avenue were mostly wealthy and
many of the buildings were fine man­sions.
These and all their belong­ings,
household goods, etc., were de­stroyed
needlessly. Over 1,400 blocks
were consumed in the business dis­trict
being included in this.
"At once looting began in whole­sale
fashion, in many cases being
led by the police themselves. The
police and civil authorities could do
nothing to stop the thieving. General
Funstan then declared martial law;
ordered all soldiers and marines out
for duty policing the entire city; and
gave the order to shoot on sight any­one
caught looting or stealing. His
orders were, carried out and in a
very short while the looting was stop­ped.
Many looters were shot and
left where they fell as a warning to
others. The marines did not hesi­tate
to shoot to kill when the offense
deserved drastic action. I will re­late
one instance to show about how
the marines handled the lawless ele­ment.
A chinaman attempted to rape
a white woman in the refugee camp
at Ft. Mason. Two marines caught
him in the attempted act. They took
the 'chink' to their supply tent, gave
him a shovel, went to the beach of
San Francisco Bay, where they com­pelled
him to dig a hole. After com­pletion
they compelled him by bay­onet
'jabs' to stand beside the hole,
where they shot him and rolled him
in. After covering him with sand
they returned to their guard duty.
"In 1906 I went back to Ft. Leav­enworth,
Kan., for duty with "K"
company, engineers. In 1908 a de­tachment
was sent to Ft. Riley, Kan.,
to supervise the construction of a
redoubt for the purpose of testing
some new six-inch cannon. After
the redoubt was finished the 6th Field
Artillery began a bombardment of
the Fort. This was kept up for sev­eral
days, then one of the guns burst-ed,
killing one soldier, tearing both
legs off of a sergeant in the signal
corps, and wounding four others. In
1909 we were ordered to Pole Moun­tain,
Wyoming, for two months of
maneuvers. After the maneuvers
were over we marched 210 miles in
10 days. We were in heavy march­ing
order, carrying about 100 pounds
each. It was very hot and dry. There
were plenty of blistered feet and
weary soldiers. This was.the hard­est
and most miserable 'practice'
march I ever made.
"Then we made quite a few moves.
In February, 1910 I was sent to Jef­ferson
Barracks, Mo.; in July, 1910
to Whippole Barracks, Arizona; in
November, 1910 a detaqhment of
twenty-one was ordered to Nogales,
Ariz., for border patrol. This was
at the time the Mexican trouble com­menced.
We were the first soldiers
sent on this duty. Nogales, Ariz.,
and Nogales,, Mexico, are separated
by a street, which was the boundary
line for the two countries. It was
against orders to cross this line. Af­ter
about a week's patrol I had a con­ference
with my buddy, and we de­cided
to go to Mexico. We went
sight-seeing and saw everything that
was worth seeing and just a whole
lots more that wasn't even worth the
look. We finally ended up in a dance
hall and got into a regular old-fash­ioned
rough-and-tumble fight. We
did right good service for a while, but
it seemed as though when we would
knock a Mexican down two more
would spring up. And so the police
finally put me in jail, but let my bud­dy
go. He went back and reported
to the Lieutenant where I was. The
Lieutenant came over and told the
jailer to let me out and that he would
see that I was severely punished.
When I got back to camp I surely
did expect trouble. The Lieutenant
asked me if I had had a good time.
I said 'yes, I had a lot of fun'. (I had
a black eye, my nose was out of
shape, and several good-sized lumps
were on my head, but I really had
had a good time.)'' 'Well,' he replied,
'if you had a good time and got sat­isfaction
it suits me. Now go to bed
and behave yourself.' I went. No
doubt I was the first American sol­dier
to get in a Mexican jail. So,
after all, I considered it a sort of
achievement to be the first in a.Mex­ican
jail when the border trouble
started.
"In March, 1911 we were ordered
to San Antonio, Texas. While there
I witnessed my first airplane acci­dent.
The army had a few planes
and a few aviators. Lt. Kelley did
some exhibition flying. While he
was in the airx there was always a
great excitement among the watch­ers.
On one of his flights his plane
made a nose dive and the Lieuten­ant
was instantly killed. I was about
100 feet from the place where his
plane hit the ground. An old negro
was near me at the time. He did
nqt seem to realize that anything
serious had happened. He turned to
me and said, 'Boss, I don no 'zackly,
but I don blieve dat man 'tended to
light dat way'. The*"air field was
later * named after this same lieu­tenant.
"We were next ordered to El Paso,
Texas, and stationed at Ft. Bliss,
about seven miles from El Paso. Our
principal duty was border patrol and
to guard the International Bridge
over the Rio Grande River between
El Paso and Juarez, Mexico. We

the fact that they have ignored diplo­matic
notes from the League of Na­tions
and America, is due to the fact
that they have become infuriated on
several occasions upon se'eing their
names misspelled in a Kansas City
newspaper. The Japanese are allow­ed
to kill thee hundred Chinese under
the present agreement and China is
allowed one dead Jap and three ad­ditional
soldiers if more than two

Chick Meehan Quits
'Big League' Football
New York —(IP)— Big gates,
high pressure and terrific schedules
have sickened Chick Meehan, re­signed
coach of New York Univer­sity,
who is now back at his desk in
a contracting firm here, after seven
years of "big league" football at the
university, where he built up the
team to national fame.
"I'll never coach college football
on a big time basis again," he said
after his resignation, which followed
attacks on him by the student paper
and a decision of the University to
drop big time methods in its grid
sport.
"I'm sick and tired of driving
boys, whipping them into frenzies
with everything but lashes, seeing
them crack from nothing but ex­haustion
near the end of the sea­son.
That's not football, the game.
I'll never be a party to that again.
I have no offers and I expect none."
"Some day I may coach again,"
he added, "but it will be for the fun
of the thing, somewhere where foot­ball
is not a business. I'll have the
boys around me, living with me,
playing with me, in a small school
somewhere. And we'll have real
teams without pressure and worry
over gate receipts."
