LARGE CLASS OF WOMEN TO
GRADUATE HERE THIS YEAR
Over 20 Young Women
Trained in Home Economics
Will Get Diplomas
This Month
A large class of young women
graduates at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute will receive degrees at
the approaching commencement in
May. A majority of these young
women, more than 20. in number,
have prepared themselves in home
economics and home making.
Throughout the year these young
women, students in home economics,
receive the most practical sort of
training in the preparation of foods
in their work as caterers at private
banquets and dinner parties given
for faculty groups and distinguished
visitors at Auburn.
This experience is headed up in the
Auburn practice house which is operated
throughout the year under
the supervision of Miss Dana Gatch-ell,
assistant professor of home economics.
Miss Agnes Ellen Harris,
dean of women at Auburn, is a
thorough believer in the so-called cultural
training for girls and yet she
is an enthusiast for that type of
training which will enable young wo.
men to become efficient home-makers.
The practice house in reality is a
home where the girls, students in
home economics, carry out all practices
of a modern home. They do all
the work such as cleaning, cooking
and serving meals with Miss Gatchell
supervising.
But let Miss Hazel Arant, of Greenville,
Butler county, Alabama, one of
the students in the practice home, describe
life in the home. Miss Arant,
member of the class of agricultural
journalism, has the following to say
of her experiences and observations:
"At the Alabama Polytechnic In
stitute at present, the practice house
family consists of seven girls, with
Miss Dana Gatchell as supervisor.
The girls live in the practice house
eight weeks doing all the work and
solving all their problems of home
management.
"Each girl is housewife for nine
days, while the remaining six girls
are helpers. Hence the family has a
new 'mother' every nine days. Her
duties are many and varied. She
plans the meals, cooks food requirements,
supervises preparation of
meals, housekeeping and laundry, assigns
to other members of the family,
and is responsible for the manage
ment of the whole house.
"The housewife realizes that or
ganization is always the most important
principle in business, as
housekeeping is her most important
business, she carefully organizes her
work. Few things are more pathetic
than a household in which no organ
ization exists. There is no sympathe
tic direction of activity, and the
housewife in such a home suffers
infinitely more friction, loss of time,
strength and money than it would
cost to keep housekeeping in hand."

A GOOD COMEDY EVERYDAY—
GOOD MUSIC
Ten Campus Leaders Chosen
By Honor Society
The Spades honorary fraternity
held its initiation Saturday morning.
A very amusing performance was
given on the campus by the initiates.
The scene was opened with three
missionaries who had just reached a
supposedly quiet spot, one being ill
was carried on a stretcher. Suddenly
savages attacked from all sides and
seized the missionaries.
As it was preceived by all the
savages, .their native flapper fell in
love with the sick man. Because of
this they planned his destruction,
first by boiling him in a huge pot.
As this plan failed they determined
to cook all three men at one time.
Just as the horrible deed was ready
for execution, one of the missionaries
asked permission to say a few
words. His speech against brutality,
followed by a prayer to the Almighty
Dollar, so stirred the hearts of
the savages that the prisoners were
freed and a marriage between the
sick missionary and the savage flapper
followed.
The initiates taking part in the
ceremony were as follows: W. D.
Alston, W. M. Burns, S. E. Carter,
C. H. Feagin, H. C. Hopson, W. C.
Hurt, F. M. Malone, T. H. Pearce,
Ben T. Sankey, and L. S. Whitten.

WO CO ALA GIRL
WINS DISTRICT
ORATORICAL
Miss McDearman to Represent
District at Asheville
First place in the intercollegiate
oratorical was won by Miss Mary
Frances McDearman, freshman at
Woman's college. Miss McDearman
won over other representatives
from other colleges in Alabama and
Mississippi. She is a native of Columbia,
Tenn.
Miss Celeste Nesbit, representing
Auburn, was given first alternate.
Other contestants were Miss Mary
Cameron, University of Mississippi;
Miss Clyde Merritt, Alabama Col?
lege, and Miss Neville, of Athens
College.
The judges were Professor J. W.
Watson, Rev. W. H. McNeil, and W.
B. Lee of Auburn.
This is the third intercollegiate
oratorical contest to be sponsored
by the Better American League and
having won here Miss McDearman
will appear in the semi-finals at
Asheville, N. C, May 20. The subject
is "The Federal Constitution."
Auburn cordially welcomes the
mothers to the institution this week
end, May 7th and 8th, when many of
the students will enjoy a visit by
Mother. Corresponding to the reception
given the fathers in the fall on
"Dads" Day, a program has* been arranged
by the faculty to greet and
entertain the mothers* during their
visit.
On Saturday morning the regular
college work will be carried on. At
the regular drill hour a military review
will be held. The entertainment
of the afternoon will consist of a tour
of the campus in the early part of
the evening, under the direction of the
faculty members and the Y. M. C. A.
The remaining part of the day will
be devoted to a reception at the home
of the President where each student
and his mother will be greeted.
At seven o'clock the college picture
show will be open free to the mothers.
On Sunday morning Mothers Day
will be observed in the respective
Sunday Schools and at the regular
church hour a sermon appropriate for
the occasion will be given.
It is sincerely hoped that an enjoyable
time will be afforded the
mothers while in Auburn and that
this visit will bring them in closer
contact with the institution whereby
both may profit.

HONOR SOCIETY
PLEDGES NINE
MEN THIS YEAR
Alpha Phi Epsilon, National
Honor Fraternity, Picks
New Men
Alpha Phi Epsilon, national honor
society for the futherance of literary
work, has selected pledges for the
year. Those pledged are: Sam Mos-ley,
Leetie Gibbs, Julius Beard, C.
C. Thompson, Rosser Alston, R. C.
Cargile, M. T. Gowder, J. E. Carter,
and George Jester.
The Auburn Chapter of Alpha Phi
Epislon was established in 19-17. The
purpose of this society is to further
literary work in American colleges
and make it as effective as possible.
One year's membership in one of the
institution's literary societies makes
a student eligible. His work in the
society must include participation in
at least five debates in the society,
presentation of at least two original
orations and a written examination
in parliamentary law, to be passed
with a grade of 86 par cent.
Captain "Weemie" Baskin, Auburn's
single representative at the
annual Penn relays proved his metal
as one of the best 120-yard high
hurdlers in the universe. Baskin won
his way to the semi-finals and finals
by large margins, each time he being
one of the first two to cross the
tape.
In his heat, Baskin emerged the
victor. In the semi-final run,
"Weemie" came a close second and
in the finals, it was a split-hair decision
for the judges to decide on.
Weemie led his opponents to the next
to the last hurdle and here he topped
a hurdle with his hip, losing his
stride and lead quite a bit. However,
Steinbrenner of M. I. T. barely
skimmed the final hurdle and Baskin
pulled along side of him as the
tape was reached. But the decision
was given to the Boston lad.
"Weemie" taking second place.
Baskin earned for himself and Au.
burn universal fame when he twice
beat G. C. Weightman-Smith of
Cambridge University. Weightman-
Smith is England's best hurdler and
was forced to bow to Captain Baskin
in the semi-finals and finals.
It is no small honor for Auburn
to have such a star as leader of her
track team. Especially when we
glance at the finals of the 120-yard
high hurdles at the Penn relays in
the year of 1927.
First: Steinbrenner, (M. I. T.)
Second: Baskin, (Auburn).
Third: Caruthers, (Cornell).
Fourth: Weightman-Smith, (Cambridge)
.
Fifth: Howell, (Princeton).
Here, it may be added, "Snitz"
Snider missed an excellent chance to
stage a national come-back as the
100-yard dash was taken on the registered
time of 10.2 seconds, which
is a bit higher than Snider's average
time for this dash. Well, Snider
will be back and will have his chance
next season, Good luck, "Snitz," old
boy!

Judge Walter B. Jones of Montgomery,
the annual banquet of the inter-fraternity
council of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute held in Opelika
came to a close April 30.
L. S. Whitten, a Sigma Nu of Anderson,
S. C, was elected president;
W. D. Gilchrist, a Kappa Sigma of
the Tri-Cities was elected vice-presi
dent, and H. P. Jones, an Alpha Tau
Omega of Birmingham, was elected
secretary and treasurer.
Representatives.from the 14 senior
national fraternities on the Auburn
campus attended, as well as Prof. J
M. Robinson, chairman of the faculty
committee.
Judge Jones, who is the province
archon of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
for Alabama, Florida and
Georgia, made the principal address
of the evening, taking for his subject
"The American College Fraternity
System, a Useful Institution."
Judge Jones traced the origin of
the American fraternity system and
gave its history for the 177 years of
its existence.
"Older than the constitution of the
United States," he declared, "the
American college fraternity system
has kept steady pace with the economic
and spiritual growth of our
country.
"American life and thought has
been uplifted and enriched by the
educated leaders of the country,
many of whose characters were
moulded and developed in the atmosphere
of human love and friendship
and fidelity in the fraternity
homes of-the land."
After telling of the work of the
fraternities of the land, Judge Jones
noted that "when the world war came
the United States looked to its colleges
and universities as never before
for intelligent leadership. America's
soldiers were officered and led
to victory by the younger graduates
and active students of our colleges.
Two hundred thousand fraternity
men wore the uniform. Two thousand
of them laid down their lives in
the cause of liberty and justice.
Three hundred thousand left at home
because of old age and physical in
capacity did their full part in helping
to win the war in the home
trenches."
Speaking of the part played in
American history by the members
of fraternities from the earliest
times, Judge Jones recalled the fact
that among the presidents of the

With the establishment of the
Yamikita school of Arts under direction
of Bernard Szold, the south
may now congratulate itself upon
possessing an established institution

years people have lamented the fact
that they have had to travel to New
York, Massachusetts or equally distant
places for specialized courses
in Arts.
The Art Colony is to be under
the direction of Mr. Szold, of Birmingham.
Mr. Szold proposed the
colony and actually rasied the funds
with which to build and equip living
quarters and a large studio building.
Professor Harry Hamilton, Miss
Frances Nimmo Greene and Mr. A.
L. Bairnsf ather will devote their services
as instructors at the colony.
The Yamakita School of Arts is
designed to provide the- advanced
students, as well as the beginner,
with six weeks of training in dancing,
arts of the theatre, painting,
short story and novel play-writing.
Shelby Springs, Alabama, has been
selected as the site of the school and
the students at the colony may avail
themselves, in addition to their studies,
of all the recreational advantages
such as golf, swimming, tennis,
etc., of the Yamakita Country Club,
which is nearby.

ties between Mother and family that
long absence, distance—nor even
death itself may sever the silver
cord. Trials tend to strengthen it.
Speakers and writers have eulogized
Mother; poets and bards have sung
of her unfathomable love and the
spirit of changing conditions and advancing
years have added glamour to
her spotless name yet none have altered
or moved her station.
On this occasion we wish to welcome
those Mothers who have found
it possible to journey to Auburn and
join with us in celebrating this day
consecrated and dedicated to their
honor and memory. Let us join in
making it an enjoyable one for all.
The recent discontinuation of the
Honor System has come doubtless as
a disappointment to many. The disposition
of this system is probably
the best step that could have been
taken. We would not cheapen a
diploma by continuing that which
was covering to the few who have
misused its privileges.
As long as the colleges of our count
ry are filled with human beings
there will be friction between the
honest and the nonsupporters. Auburn
is not without honor. There
are just as many honest students here
at Auburn as under the old regime.
It is reasonable to believe that
seventy-five percent of those who
enter college came from schools
where there is no- honor system.
These institutions are unknowingly
doing the colleges a grave injustice.
No honor system will be successful
until the foundation on which its
structure is reared is rooted in the
high standards'and strict observances
of honor in the home and in the
preparatory schools. Our present
systems are imperfect owing to the
base of stubble on which they are
founded.
Immediately the question arises,
"Are students entering college prepared
for that new freedom?" In
many respects they are not. The
general attitude of the freshman toward
an honor system is that of a
myth in such classes as chemistry and
history. This spirit fortunately is
not manifested in many subjects.
Our problem today it to create a
stronger desire for honor throughout
the college if we are to have an honor.
system. We realize that a man may
be honest anywhere, but he may be
straightforward more easily when he
is surrounded by the strong influences
of an effective honor system.
Several departments have already
adopted separate systems. This is
commendable and is a step toward
the reestablishment of a system for
the entire student body. We expectantly
await the outcome.
MOTHER'S DAY
No matter what our situation in
life; no rrfatter how cynical we may
be; no matter what our attitude toward
questions of the day there are
some things on which we come to
a common agreement. We celebrate
the birth of our nation and have declared
holidays to the memory of
many of his noble sons, yet Mother's
Day is somewhat apart from all the
rest. It is fitting that we dedicate
one day each year to that exalted
being whom we hold dearer than any
earthly posession. To those who have
passed on we pause in silent tribute
but to those who yet linger we express
our love and devotion.
Mother love stands above all creeds,
doctrines and sects. Its domains are
as vast as the firmanent. We cannot
conceive of a single human being
who has not come under its influence
or jurisdiction. So strong are the
THE BATTLE BELOW THE POTOMAC—
By H. L. Menchen
Upon returning from a tour
through the South land, H. L. Menchen,
noted cynical critic wrote an
article for the Chicago Tribune which
he called "The Battle Below The Potomac."
In this article he criticised
the South very severely.
Mr. Menchen came to Atlanta first.
He seemed to be very favorably impressed
with Atlanta. Speaking of
Atlanta he says, "The pearl of the
whole section is obviously Atlanta,
now one of the loveliest of American
cities. It has what is, in more than
one way, the best hotel I have ever
encountered in America." Mr. Menchen
also seemed to be impressed
with the architecture in Atlanta.
Comparing it with the architecture
of Los Angeles, he says, "In Los Angeles
every architectural abomination
ever invented runs wild. People live
in houses in no way suited to their
lives."
Although Menchen was somewhat
sarcastic in speaking of the old Southern
"Kultur", he praised the South's
stride in education. He seemed to
think that the University at Chapel
Hill, North Carolina was even leading
the country in the search for greater
knowledge. Their method is far better
for teaching than those used in
the West and North. Mr. Menchen
states, "For it is not attempting to
convert itself into a gigantic rolling
mill for the production of swine husbandmen,
shyster lawyers, or village
music teachers; it is tackling the fundamental
problems of southern life,
and bringing to their solution a magnificent
enterprise and a high order
of skill." Speaking of Mississippi,
which he places at the bottom of
everything, he says, "Mississippi is
still plunged in the blackness that
engulfed them all down to 1900. Its
State University is a joke, and its
state press is dreadful."
Mr. Menchen does not deny that
the South has turned out some real
men. He mentions such names as
Julian Hassis of Georgia, Potee of
North Carolina, Wright of South
Carolina, Hall of Alabama. These
men are "not reformers in the ordinary
sense," says he, " but men who
are seeking enlightenment and who
are battling hard toward this end."
Menchen is not so far wrong on
this either. We really do need men
who know the right way when they
see it and are not afraid to voice
their opinions. The entire South, and
the whole country for that matter
is filled with "imbeciles." These
people, no matter in what walk of
life are a menace to the country's
welfare. Only when the right people
step forward and take control, for
these imbeciles will be here always,
will .the country go forward in the
right direction.

A breathing space just before examinations
will be given Harvard
students by a plan recently passed
upon by the university authorities.
Any department may discontinue lectures
and the other classroom work
for two and one-half weeks before
the Christmas vacation and mid-year
examinations, and for a period of
about three and a half weeks prior
to the final examinations.
These intervals will remain part
of the term and neither students nor
instructors may absent themselves
from college without reason.
As a climax to the hazing last

The University of Minnesota has
a faculty which numbers twelve hundred

several students also attend the University
when room can be found for
them.
In order to join a fraternity at
Heidelberg a student must fight
seven duels, and at the conclusion of
the last, whether victorious or not,
he is allowed to carve his name on
one of the tables in the drinking
room, thereby becoming a full-fledged
member. _
Juniors and Seniors at the University
of North Carolina who passed
their work last semester are not required
to attend classes this semester.
A class at George Washington University
recently waited fifteen minutes
for the professor to come. When
he did not appear upon the scene,
it unanimously excused itself. The
following day the professor claimed
that he had been in the class because
he had left his hat on the desk.
Thereupon the next day upon entering
the classroom he found hats
scattered over the room, but no students
in sight.
Authorities at the College of William
and Mary have found that "saying
grace" at tables in the college
dining halls is impractical and the
custom has been abandoned for the
first time in the history of the college.
Smith College has requested from
Amherst College the loan of several
male actors for dramatic productions.
The women's college has also
offered to lend women to the Amherst
club. This exchange is proposed
in order to do away with the
necessity for featuring women in
men's parts, and vice versa.

BOOK REVIEW CONDUCTED BY
MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY
Edited by John B. Clark, A.M., Ph.D.,
Professor of Economics
In "X-rays and Electrons" by
Professor A. H. Compton, of the
University of Chicago (Van Nos-trand),
we have one of the outstanding
contributions of the last twelve
months to the growing literature of
Modern Physics. The title is suggestive
of perhaps the two most
challenging questions before the physicist
today, namely: What is the nature
of matter? and what is the nature
of radiant energy? Professor
Compton sheds light chiefly upon
the second question. The answer to
the first question consists in our
present knowledge of the electron,
which has been supplied during the
last thirty years by a host of research
workers. The electron is the smallest
unit of electricity and matter, the
common constituent of all atoms and
therefore the ultimate building stone
in the structure of the universe.
Light and X-Rays are examples of
what we mean by radiant energy.
Many phenomena indicate that light
and X-rays are wave-motions through
the ether, the X-rays being about ten
thousand times shorter than the
light waves. Because of the extreme
shortness of their length, the X-rays
possess on the one hand great penetrating
power, which means so much
to the Medical Profession, and on the
other hand, the property of revealing
structures thousands of times
more minute than the most powerful,
microscope will disclose.
Other phenomena, however, discovered
in recent years can best be explained
on the assumption that light
and X-rays consist not in continuous
waves of some medium, but in units
or bunches or packets or quanta of
energy traveling through space at
the speed of 186,000 miles per second.
Energy, in other words, appears
to be atomic, as is matter. This
is known as the Quantum Theory.
What gives Professor Compton's
book its unique interest lies in his

treatment of X-rays in detail from
the standpoint of the Quantum Theory.
He presents in detail his own
discovery, known as the Compton
effect, which affords perhaps the
most convincing confirmation known
of this theory. He succeeded in observing
many collisions between a
quantum of X-rays and an electron.
He found when the ftwo collided
that the X-ray rebounded from the
electron in keeping with the well-known
laws of ballistics, or that the
impact was similar to that between
billiard balls. This is a direct demonstration
of the atomic or "quantum"
nature of X-rays, and of light
as well. These experimental results
are shown to harmonize with equations
which are developed from theoretical
considerations based upon the
Quantum Theory. The book is well
adapted for use with graduate
courses in Modern Physics.

MOREY'S TIGER SWEEPS THRU
SERIES WITH VANDY HERE
The Auburn diamondeers repeated
their performance of the first tilt
to group hits with errors and covered
the merry diamond sacks on six
different occasions. Pat Moulton
did the hurling and fared very well
considering the weather. Pat is a
real warm weather pitcher and was
forced to work in a bitter cold wind.
For the Swartz outfit, "Lefty" Moss
hild down the mound job. Moss had
won and lost games with the Auburn
outfit in the past two years but he
was not very accurate in his deliveries
Saturday. Auburn garnished
seven hits, four coming in the initial
round while Vandy hammered Moulton
for eight bingles.
The fielding of both teams was
slightly erroneous. Eight errors
were equally divided between them,
but Vandy made the most of their
- chances as three of her runs were unearned
and only one of the Bengal's
was donated. To balance the scales,
each team completed very neat double
plays. Auburn's, Moulton to San-key
to Wattwood, came in the fifth
with the bases drunk. Vandy's came
in the third, Moss to Brooks to
Spears.
Hitchcock Has Big Day
"Bullet" Hitchcock led his mates
in batting, runs and assembled a stolen
base and sacrifice hit. He appeared"
at the plate four times; obtained
a free trip in the first and scored a
run, hit a single in the third when he
was the first man up, singled again
in the fifth with Sankey on first and
safely advanced Akin to second in
the seventh with a neat bunt along
the initial sack.
Big Parade In First
Every man on the famous Morey
nine was introduced to Mr. Moss in
the first go, after Pat had rid himself
of his opponents without a hit
or run. The first ball pitched was
socked by Buck Ellis for a single.
Allen hit to short and took first, Ellis
being called safe by the Ump.
Sankey placed the next ball along
the first base line, advancing Ellis
and Allen. "Jelly" Akin then took
his stand and drove in the two runners
with a single over second. Akin
stole second. Hitchcock walked, and
Akin scored the third run on Watt-wood's
single, Hitchcock on second.
Captain Joe Wallis garnished the
fourth hit and drove in the fourth
run with another single. Joe was
caught stealing second to make the
second out. Ingram, a free trip and
Moulton was thrown out at first to

Hits in Finale
Auburn took the final tilt from
the University of Florida to the tune
of 5-0, behind the steady deliveries
of McGhee of last year's "frosh" outfit.
Auburn, however, lost the series,
taking two games while the Gators
secured three. This is the first
series the Tigers have dropped, with
one tied,vthat with the University of
South Carolina. It was a big day
for the Morey men and all of it came
in ''the first setto. With Boney of
the University opening up the'game,
five runs were pushed across and
BoneJ went to the showers.
Last season, young Boney had allowed
the Orange and Blue men but
four hits in ten innings, but matters
were different this time. Untriener
relieved him and went the remaining
innings without much danger
as only a total of three bingles were
allowed by him. It was Untriener
who shut Auburn out on the campus
this year. Very likely another
pitcher's -battle would have ensued
if he had started the fray.

Tigers Wallop
Clemson Here
in Snappy Fray
Playing fast ball on a day built
solely for baseball, Coach Morey's
Auburn Tigers completely outclassed
the Tigers from Clemson, 6-2. For
the Plainsmen, Pat Moulton held the
helm and pitched his best game of the
season, giving up only three hits and
striking out seven of his opponents.
Morton pitched for Clemson and
was touched rather freely for various
classes of hits, home-runs, doubles
and singles.
Auburn Starts Off Strong
In the opening frame, Auburn
came to the plate after Clemson had
failed to gain. Ellis struck at the
first one and sent the second to deep
right being caught out by Milling.
Ebb James took a free trip and "Lefty"
Wattwood cleaned off the bases
with a long homer over the bank in
center field. Akin and Sankey
grounded out to retire the side.
In the second, Allen, first Auburn
man up, walked, went to second on
Hitchcock's single and came home on
Captain Wallis' long fly to center,
Hitchcock stole second, advanced to
third when Allen came home and returned
to the home plate on Ellis
single.
Auburn scored another in the fifth
as Akin singled, stole second, and
came home on Sankey's single to
center. In the sixth} the Villagers
put across their final score after
Hitchcock had doubled to left field
along the base line.
Rally In Final Falls Short
Clemson spoiled a beautiful no
run game for Moulton in the ninth,
Allen and came home on the same
more scores in the same inning. Sankey
gained first on an error by
Spears, went to third on Hitchcock's
single to center and came in on a
wild'pitch by Moss. Hitchcock took
third on the pitch by Moss and re
turned home by the pilferred base
method.
Vanderbilt repeated with another
run in the sixth when the first three
batters obtained a walk, hit by pitch
er and single, respectively. In the
seventh, she added two more when
three more hits were gathered. The
eighth proved fruitless, however, and
the game was called in order that
the McGugin lads might catch the
train home.
The Plainsmen will journey to the
Commodore's campus for a return
series on the same days of next week
and let's hope they return with the
same ends of the scores.

CUSH WOOD PITCHES NO RUN
GAME AGAINST COMMODORES
Returning home late Wednesday
evening, Coach Morey's famous
Orange and Blue diamond artists,
lost no time in disposing of the Vanderbilt
Commodores in the fastest
game to be played on the campus
this season. The feature of the day,
was the arsenic deliveries of "Cush"
Wood that puzzled the visitors and
kept them from reaching the much
longed for plate. Creson, of the
sailor lads, did very well on the
mound, giving up only five bingles
and these being obtained at five different
times. But the Vandy nine
was off their fielding and scored
five miscues. The only earned run
of the game came in the eighth inning
and was completed by Ebb
James.
Ben Sankey was the only player on
the field that assembled over one a
single bingle. Sankey registered two
hits out of three trips to the plate.
Not a ball was socked for extra base
hits.
The superb fielding of Lancaster
in the Vanderbilt right lot proved interesting
as well as disasterons. Several
long hits in his direction were
turned into neat put outs at his
hands. One, hit by Ebb James, required
a hard sprint and a high jump,
one hand spring and a tumbersault
but he came up with the pill firmly
gripped as usual.
Buck Ellis offered a remarkable
exhibition of a shoe string catch
over the second sack for his only

Errors Prove Fatal
The results of the first inning may
be boiled down to the vivid statement
of one hit for Auburn and no
runs. Vandy failed to get a hit or
run, although Waller, who was walked,
reached third, to no good ending.
In the second try, Auburn scored
their first unearned run. Sankey,

Out Good Material
Although the Rats have not had
the chance to show their wares on
the home campus, we know that
Coach Brown has assembled a smooth
working team as they have won three
games of the five played on foreign
territory.
The Baby Tigers opened the season
against Shawmut Mills at Shaw-mut
with a victory by the score of 3
to 1. Callahan, Plant and Stouten-borough
each pitched three innings
with the first named getting credit
for the victory. Ward with .3 out
five and Abernathy with 2 out of 4
led the hitters.
The next week the Rats took on
the Varsity in .a scrimmage game
which' resulted in a 5 to 2 loss, but
they displayed a fine brand of baseball
aginst Morey's men.
The Rats journeyed to Birmingham
the next week for two games with'
Howard Rats and one game with the
Birmingham-Southern Rats. The
game with the Southern Rats was a
hard one to lose as Auburn was leading
the Rats from the Hilltops until
the eighth inning but here they weakened
and Southern scored twice and
emerged with a victory by the score
of 6 to 5. In this game Crawford
and Burt led the hitters with 2 out
of 4 apiece.
When the Baby Tigers met the
Bullpups from Howard, their ambition
was to revenge the defeat they
received in basketball and the tie in
football. They accomplished this in
grand style with a 15 to 7 victory the
first day and a 10 to 7 win the next
day. In the first game Callahan did
the twirling and held the boys in
check while his mates pounded out
seventeen safe blows. Crawford
was the big star with a perfect day
of 5 hits out of 5 trips to the plate.
Burt also had- a perfect day with
tthree hits out of three times at bat.
Lester and Ward connected with two
blows each..
The second game with Howard was
closer as the score indicates, although
Plant, the Auburn twirlet,
gave up only five hits and his mates
connected with Lockridge's offerings
for ten safe blows.
The following Thursday the Rats
Journeyed to Atlanta for a single
game which ended in a seven to two
defeat. The Tech Rats jumped on
Segrest in the first inning and scored
four runs on three hits. Stouten-borough
relieved Segrest in the second
inning and held the Tech boys
to four hits for the remainder of the
game.
Coach Brown has developed a fine
looking infield with Abernathy at
first, Ward at second, Lester" at
short, and Manley at third. These
boys are being pushed hard for a
regular berth by Howell, a second
baseman, Ingram, a short stop, and
Gilbert, a third baseman. Crawford,
Burt and Ty Jones make up a hard
hitting outfield but Chamblee and
Cosper are giving them a fight for
the first string. Thomas has developed
into a fine receiver and has
been hitting consistently also. Rouse
and Collins are relief catchers and
have shown plenty of promise up to
date. Callahan is the leading pitch-
Mr. Samford Tells of
Experiences Abroad
The personal experiences of anyone
are interesting, but the experiences
of Mr. William Samford, who
spoke in convocation Thursday were
doubly interesting because of the
places visited and the incidents
which occurred while in Europe.
Mr. Samford first told of his trip
going over to Europe on a cattle
boat, and while he was willing to admit
that was one way of getting
there, he could not recommend that
anyone wishing to see Europe play
chambermaid to three thousand cattle
in order to get across.
And if Paris is as attractive as
painted by Mr. Samford, then anyone
will sympathize with him in the
trouble he had leaving. But getting
away from Paris was only one of
the difficulties he encountered. The
greater difficulty was in making
himself understood by the natives
when he did not know their language.
Mr. Samford gave as the most impressive
of the cities, visited on his
travels, Jerusalem, with its path of
Christ. This is the path which Christ
traveled to Calvary and it is marked
with monuments which depict the
events as they happened during
Christ's march to his crucifixion.

er with two games won and jno defeats.
Plant has won one game and
lost one. Segrest has lost one and
won none and Stoutenborough, who
is a reliable pitcher, has not broken
into the winning column yet. He
pitched good ball against Southern
and Tech Rats but Lady Luck seems
to be against him.
The Auburn Rats are scheduled to
play Tech Rats on the campus on
May 7. The next games fall on May
