TIGERS HOPE TO PUSH 'GATORS
INTO CELLAR AT GAINESVILLE
By Frank Sego
Coach Carl Voyles' valiant Plainsmen, celebrating the
magic arm of Tossin' Travis Tidwell, will invade the alligator
country of Forida for their season's grand finale with Bear
Wolf's winless 'Gators in Gainesville Saturday afternoon.
It's too bad this 1946 Auburn-Saurian battle will be over­looked
by a great deal of foot
ball followers who are consider
ing the current-season records of
the two elevens. Too bad because
all indications point to a very
closely-contested match between
a pair of rapidly improving fresh­man-
studded outfits.
For both the Tigers and the
'Gators there is something at
stake. It won't be such as a loop
championship but it will be a bit­ter
struggle with each t e am
battling to stay clear of the
Southeastern Conference cellar.
For the thousands of specta­tors
who will swarm through the
gates of Florida Stadium there'll
be a sharp exhibition of football,
with Auburn featuring Tidwell as
the Nation's leader in total of­fense
and Florida sporting the
South's leading pass receiver in
the person of Broughton "The
Brute" Williams.
Tidwell, who startled the coun­try
last Saturday by stacking up
a full 200 yards in total offense
to pull far ahead of the idle Texas
Bobby Layne, will be out to pro­tect
his national lead. Layne is to
make his last gridiron appearance
against Texas A&M on Thanks­giving
Day.

Auburn supporters are being
warned against the least bit of
over-confidence in regards to the
F l o r i d a tilt because several
months back Bear Wolf promised
resort state alumni that he would
beat the Tigers at any cost this

of their collegiate careers Satur­day
will be Seniors Teedie Faulk,
the rugged flankman, who held
up the left side of Coach Voyles'
forward wall; Carl Fletcher, an­other
brilliant end, who was
hampered by an injured knee all
season; Jimmy Rose, the stocky
built guard, who was a constant
threat to Plainsmen opponents
until his injury in the Georgia
Tech classic; Jim Pharr, Co-Cap­tain
and center, who was always
a block of granite in the middle
of the Tiger line; and McCoy
Hewlett, who worked with pro
ficiency at either halfback slot
until he, too, was jinxed by in

It seems that the senior mem
bers of . the 1946 squad were
destined to absorb the bulk of the
Tiger injuries. Teedie Faulk hap­pened
to be the only one to
escape. Jack Cornelius was placed
out of commission for the rest of

Fiddling, Ballad-Singing
Relatives
Truly' an American composer,
Henry Cowell was born in Cali­fornia
and spent much of his
childhood among fiddling and
ballad-singing relatives on farms
in Kansas, Iowa, and Oklahoma.
Thus he became acquainted at an
early age with the native musical
idiom which has contributed to
his compositions a squareness of
form, a rhythmic vitality, a di­rectness
and melodic warmth
that are characteristically Ameri-can.
x
As a very young man he gained
international reputation foi> his
experiments, as pianist, for the
extension of the possibilities of
the instrument, performing since
that time his works for that in­strument
in solo recitals and with
orchestras..
Makes Records with Siokowski
He is one of the most prolific
American composers and his
works constantly appear on the
programs of major symphonies,
choruses, soloists, pianists, violin­ists
and ensembles. With Joseph
Szigeti he has recorded for Co­lumbia
Records' recent issue one
of his violin and piano composi­tions;
with Leopold Stokowski
and the American Youth Orches­tra
he has recorded, for the same
company, his piano-and-orches-tra
"Tales of Our Countryside."
As editor of New Music, issuing
periodically new works by North
and South American and Euro­pean
contemporaries, Cowell has
had a marked influence on the
musical scene for many years.
His services to contemporary
and American music and educa­tion
is the extended series of
lecture-recitals on many subjects
of unusual interest which he has
been giving in recent seasons in
colleges throughout the country.

Another Campus Orchestra Makes
Good Music For Various Dances
By Taylor Lumpkin
Listen, do you hear those strains of The Talk of The Town?
You do, then you are witnessing the rebirth of another one of
Auburn's grand old traditions. It's the Auburn Plainsmen
completely remodeled, and back on the campus in grand form,
and they certainly are The Talk of The Town.
Why are they the talk of the
town? For several reasons, name­ly
the fact that the orchestra is- a
completely streamlined version
with new arrangements, new uni­forms.
Bill Leslie, the business
manager, is especially proud of
the new bus. It will soon be
nainted in orange and blue, and

Omega Tau Sig Honor
Pledges With Party
The Zeta Chapter of Omega
Tau Sigma fraternity entertained
its pledges last Friday evening
Nov. 15th, with a house dance.
Decorations consisted of fra­ternity
colors, red and blue, in
streamers forming a c a n o py
along with decorations of a
"Western Tavern". Refreshments
were served during the course of
entertainment. Mrs. N. C. Peddy,
housemother, chaperoned the en­tertainment.
Eiland have worked out a few
good ones themselves. *
Let's see who else is here. Why
there's Victor Atkinson, Les Ad­ams,
and Jerry Wasley pumping
the trombones over at the right.
In the sax section there is Har­ry
Hanson, with the baritone, Bob
Keith, at tenor, and Frank Eiland,
alto and clarinet, and Jimmy
Lacy playing the other alto and
clarinet.
Then there is Phil Bookman
over 'on the right end in charge
of the 88.
Backing up the line at left half
is the trumpet section, broken
down into squads it turns out to
be Tom Wheeler," first trumpet,
Les Adams and Jerry Wasley,
second trumpets, and last but not
least is the heavy stuff, Doug
Stevens at the -traps and J. B.
Conani slapping bass, and that,
brother, is a winning combina­tion.
That's not all either, Bill Cole
and LaHolm McClendon are over
on the sidelines leading in the
vocal department, and back at
the water bucket is Bill Leslie,
the manager of the team.
It's a champion learn that's had
plenty of experience, playing out
of town, and they made their
debut on the home field last Sat­urday
at the Alpha Gam Greek
Ball, and golly was it a good one.
You haven't heard anything
yet. Why, they are just beginning
to tune up. Sit down, relax and
listen, they'll be coming out of
the huddle in just a few seconds,
and show you some real trick
plays.

Pikes Entertain With
A Zoot Suit Party
With the front of the house
transformed into a honkey-tonk,
complete with juke box, bar­tenders,
and a bar the length of
the room, the Pi K A's entertained
Friday night. B r o t h e r s and
pledges were dressed out in their
zootiest attire, while the dates
kept up the pace with appropriate
costumes strictly from Harlem.
Prizes went to Bill Ratchford and
Cecile Hinson as the cats with the
most reet pleats, draped shapes,
and ripe stripes.
Len Hensel's remarks as master
of ceremonies kept the floor show
moving at a rapid rate. The sing­ing
bartenders, Homer Russell,
Bill Anderson, Ed Tyler, Dyke
McCulloch, and Jack Brush, gave
out with some fine harmony, and
laughs were provided by Dave
Landress, Jette Campbell, and

EXAMS FOR NAVY OFFICER TRAINING
TO BE HELD NATIONALLY JAN. 18
The Navy's first nation-wide
competitive examination for its
Officer College Training Program,
open to high school seniors or
graduates not less than 17 and
not more than 21 years of age on
July 1, 1947, has been scheduled
for Jan. 18, 1947, according to
Capt. J. W. Callahan, professor of
naval science in the NROTC
Unit at API.
Successful candidates will be
given a four-year college educa­tion
at government expense and
commissioned as officers of the
Regular Navy or Marine Corps,
or the Reserve, upon graduation.
Application forms must be re­ceived
by Dec. 17.
Students- selected by _ the ^com­petitive
examinations for the Na­val
Reserve Officers Training
Corps will attend one of the 52
colleges or universities and re­ceive
from the government the
cost of tuition, books, normal
fees, and $50 a month for the
four-year period of education.
Upon graduation they may be
required to serve two years of
active duty if commissioned. Af­ter
this they may apply for a
permanent commission in the
Regular service or transfer to the
Reserve and return to civilian
life.
Application forms and further
information concerning NROTC
and the NCAP (Naval Aviation
College Program) may be obtain­ed
at Room 103, Broun Hall.
for Engineers
We're fussy about
our Spaghetti!
In the language of vacuum tube
makers, "Spaghetti" is a ceramic
sleeve for insulating conductors.
As the emphasis in electronics has
moved toward higher and. higher
frequencies, tube elements have
grown smaller and smaller till some
"spaghetti" insulators are the size
of a bristle in your tooth-brush!
The smallest ceramic sleeve now
made by Western Electric meas­ures
under .030 of an inch outside
diameter, with a center hole of
.020 inch. This means the walls of
the tube are only .005 inch thick-yet
each unit is rigid, strong and
provides good insulation.
In the production of hundreds
of varieties of such tiny elements,
Western Electric engineers have
achieved remarkable precision
which has had much to do with
the rapid progress of electronics.
Electrical
One-Way Streets
To one group of Western Electric
engineers, every day is baking day.
The objects of their culinary skill
are copper washers and discs—from
l-16th to 114 inches in diameter-done
to a turn in a red hot oven,
and with a crust of copper oxide
on one side. <—
Piled in matched sets, these
copper oxide discs are called vans-tors
(variable resistors). They are
high resistance in one direction,
low resistance in the other, and so,
in effect, allow electrical current
only a one-way passage.
>0NEWflQ>
As radio moved into very high
frequencies, specifications for pre­cision,
stability and smaller size of
these rectifiers went far beyond
anything previously attempted
outside the laboratory.
Western Electric's manufactur­ing
engineers set up shop for quan­tity
production of these interesting
little devices. The techniques they
have developed have great signi­ficance
for future communications.

Tiny Crystals
can't be Sissies
Delicate quartz crystals—some
only one-eighth inch square—with­stood
a terrible beating in military
radio equipment. One reason: en­gineers
at Bell Laboratories and
Western Electric devised a way to
anchor them gently, yet firmly, in
place—assuring stability and per­fect
contact between terminal
wires and crystal.
Here is how it is done: after the
crystal is ground nearly to pre­scribed
frequency, a spot of liquid
silver is applied at exact points for
terminal wires. Baking at 1000" F
fuses the silver to the crystal. Then
the entire surface receives a finish
of vaporized silver.
Finally—using a precision fixture
—the terminal wire, with a dot of
solder on its tip, is lined up with
the spot of silver and a jet of hot
air anchors it firmly in place. Mill­ions
of crystals have now been
asserrfbled in this manner.
Manufacturing telephone and radio apparatus for the Bell System is Western Electric's primary job. It calls
for engineers of many kinds — electrical, mechanical, industrial, chemical, metallurgical — who devis*
and improve machines and processes for large scale production of highest quality communications equipment.

Sigma Chis Give Joint
Party With Chi Omegas
The Chi Omega-Sigma Chi joint
party went over with a bang at
the Sigma Chi house Friday night.
Upon entering the house your
head began to whirl. Sofas faced
the walls, pictures hung at askew
angles, a floor lamp lazily leaned
against the wall, and dangling
crepe paper, anchored here and
there, gave a mysterious laby­rinth
effect to the living room.
An hour before partytime the
den, littered with books and ciga-ret
trays, presented a problem to
janitor Albert (Snowball) Wil­liams.
Knowing from 25 years ex­perience
at the chapter house that
Sigs aren't altogether neat, he im­mediately
began to tidy the place
up a bit until halted by members
who explained that it was part of
the decorations.
The party included dancing in
the dining room, interesting skits
by both organizations, and re­freshments.

Sigma Chi Discusses Sweetheart
The Sigma Chis are busy lay­ing
groundwork for the selection
of their annual- "Sweetheart of
Sigma Chi", according to George
Ryan, head of the activities com­mittee
for Gamma Sigma chapter.
A definite date for the selection
has not been chosen, but it was
tentatively set for the winter
quarter, possibly the latter part
of January.
At a regular chapter meeting
last Wednesday, members decided
upon methods for choosing sweet­heart
candidates. It was agreed
that each sorority furnish two
candidates, and each girls dorm
on the campus one.
Members also discussed plans
for a Sigma Chi Derby, similar to
the functions held on the Georgia
and Alabama campuses.

Significance Of The Coal Strike
John L. Lewis now has the support of
William Green and Philip Murray behind
him in his bold coal strike. This brings an
arm of 13,000,000 organized laborers be­hind
the power—drunk man in his chal­lenge
to democratic government.
What can be done about it? Literally
nothing.
Lewis has the government eating out of
his hand and he knows it. The mines,
however, can be returned to private own­ership,
job security benefits can be denied
to those miners who went on strike, and
armed protection can be furnished to those
who wish to go back to work.
This is a solution. It would be a morose
one, but effective; or the government could
yield to Lewis, allowing him to become a
little more powerful.
If he is allowed to go on, he will lead
the innocent citizen, quite unconsciously,
down a path to the left. If we tolerate a
government that cannot control a few
labor unions, then it is time to junk the
whole system, and set, up a form-of gov­ernment
in which no strikes will be allow­ed,
and you know what form that is.
What is to be done then? Whether the
government yields or controls, the uprising
will lead to the same end. The only practi­cal
thing to do is get rid of Lewis and his
kind now before it is too late and start all
over, using a system in which the govern­ment
cannot be controlled by a minority.

Somebody May Be Sorry
The concert committee is to be com­mended
for making the concert series free
for students. Actually it will not be wholly
free, since the student activity book will
be necessary to get a ticket. But it is a
good move not to require students to pay
an additional amount after paying fees
to partially cover concert and lecture ex­penses.
But if the student body is as appreciative
as it should be, somebody will be sorry . . .
Langdon Hall seats about 750 persons.
There are some 6300 students in college.
A large number of these have student ac­tivity
books. Somebody's going to be left
out. And pity the staff of the Director of
Student Affairs: This is the last day they
will issue free tickets; tomorrow, if any
are left, they start selling first to faculty
and then to others.
So you'd better hurry, students. The
concert next Tuesday by Henry Cowell,
celebrated American composer - pianist,
will be worth a coupon out of anybody's
student activity book, and more. He has
been heard throughout the United States
and widely in Europe and South America
in recitals of his own works for piano and
in performances of his compositions for
piano and orchestra. He is also noted as a
lecturer.
All for free! Free for all!
Suppose You Were A Tree
It pays to advertise.
Republicans know it and Democrats too.
Northerners, Southerners, Westerners and
Mae West too.
Billboards, began lowering the esthetic
value of highway scenes even before the
roads were paved. Perhaps the practice
could have been stopped, but it wasn't.
Objections now are raised timidly, and the
billboards still remain an ugly obstruc­tions.
The trees on the campus—especially
around Langdon and Samford — used to
enhance the beauty of the place. They
were not intended as publicity or advertis­ing
mediums. But that's what they have
become. First, posters appeared publiciz­ing
a student activity. No nails were used.
Now advertisers have invaded the field
with no regard for the consequences. Any
day now one may expect to see an ad by
Lydia E. Pinkham.
No rule against posting *on campus trees
should be necessary. But it appears that
it will be. We hope Building and Grounds
will tear all the ads down and that some­thing
will be done to prevent any more
posting.
We prefer Auburn's payoff in advertis­ing
to be one of appreciation for the dignity
of its natural beauty.
To New Student Officers
Congratulations to the winners in last
week's election. Honors will fall their way
because of the offices they will hold with
the beginning of next quarter.
And consolations to those who did not
win. It is doubtful whether the loser in
any case was the lesser man.
The winners, then, have a big job to
do in performing their duties to the satis­faction
of thinking students. They will find
that honors have little value unless they
do the work expected of them and unless
they do the work they demand of them­selves.
The time has come to forget pretty poli­tics
and power politics. The campus has
need of great student leaders. It remains
for the winners of last week's election to
prove that our congratulations were really
in order.
LET US GIVE THANKS
The Thanksgiving service will be held
at 10 a. m. this Thursday instead of the
traditional sunrise period. This time was
set because there will be no classes and
because many students will want to sleep
late.
Thanksgiving is s t r i c t l y American.
Thanksgiving is something Americans
could practce daily—perhaps too few do—
but this day, finally decided upon with the
help of commercial interests, is a day
when many Americans sincerely try to
recapture the spirit the New England
colonists had on the first Thanksgiving.

ON UNDERGRADUATE READING
Concerning the undergraduate's prob­lem
of adequate library facilities, the book,
American Colleges and Universities, states
the following:
"Within the last several years special
attention has been given to the problem
of undergraduate reading. This has been
due to two factors. First, it has steadily be­come
evident that the great university li­braries
have better solved the problems of
graduate and research study than those of
undergraduate reading.
"The very multiplication of facilities
and elaboration of technical tools has
proved a barrier to most undergraduate
readers, while the close stack arrangement
usually felt necessary has removed most
of the books from undergraduate sight and
handling."
The degree of profit derived from cam­pus
activities varies widely. Long compe­titions
for athletic managerships, the se­curing
of advertising for student publica­tions,
committee meetings relative to
freshmen being compelled to wear their
caps, and endless rehearsals for college
operas would not be assets at all were it
not that most students would "loaf" other­wise.
Better things may be said, however,
for the work of musical organizations, so­cieties
producing fine drama, literary
groups of one sort and another,-and debat­ing
clubs. These would be justified even if
students had far more intellectural inter­est
than at present.—Robert C. Angell in
The Campus.
On The Side
Mr, k ewis Wo y r k;k z rh is 11
This and That
"Oh, Engineers, with hairy ears -. . ."
One day three men—a doctor, a lawyer, and an engineer—
approached St. Peter as he stood guarding the Pearly Gates.
The first man to step forward was the lawyer. With con­fidence
and assurance he proceeded to deliver an eloquent
address which left St. Peter dazed. Before the venerable Saint
could recover, the lawyer quickly
handed him a Writ of Manda­mus,
pushed him aside and strode
throught the Pearly Gates.
Next came the doctor. With
impressive, dignified bearing he
introduced himself, "I am Doctor
Brown." St. Peter received him
cordially. "I feel I know you,
Doctor Brown. Many who pre­ceded
you said you sent them
here. Welcome to their fair city"
The engineer, modest and dif­ferent,
had been standing in the
back ground. Now he stepped
forward. "I am looking for a job,"
he said. St. Peter wearily shook
his head. "I'm storry," he replied,
"we have no work here. If you
want a job you can go to Hell."
This response sounded familar
to the engineer and made him
feel more at home. "Very well",
he said, "I've had hell all my life
and I guess I can stand it better
than the others."
St. Peter was puzzled. "Look
here, young man," he said, "what
are you?"
"I am an engineer," was the re­ply.
"Oh yes," said St. Peter. Do
you belong to the Locomotive
Brotherhood?" "No, I'm sorry,"
was the reply, "I am a different
kind of engineer."
"I do not understand," said St.
Peter. "What on earth do you do?"
The engineer recalled a defini­tion
and replied; "I apply mathe­matical
principles to the control
of natural forces." This was too
much for St. Peter and his tem­per
got the best of him. "Young
man," he said, "you can go to
hell with your mathematical
principles and try your hand on
some of the natural forces there."
•"That suits me," replied the en­gineer.
"I am always glad to
tackle a tough job." Whereupon
he departed for the Nether Re­gions.
Now it comes to pass the
strange reports began to reach
St. Peter. The Celestial denizens,
who had in the past amused
themselves by looking down upon
the more unfortunate creatures
in Inferno, began asking for trans­fers
to the other regions. The
sounds of suffering and agony
were stilled. Many new arrivals,
after seeing both places, chose
Hell for their permanent abode.
Puzzled, St. Peter sent messengers
to inspect the Nether Regions
and report back to him.
The messengers returned all
excited and reported to St. Peter:
"That engineer you sent down
there has completely transformed
the place so that you would not
know it. He has harnessed the
Firey Furnaces for light and
power. He has cooled the place
with artificial refrigation. He has
drained the Lake of Brimstone
and filled the air with cool, per­fumed
breezes. He has flung
bridges across the bottomless
abyss and bored tunnels through
the Osidian Cliffes. He has
created paved streets, gardens,
parks and playgrounds, lakes and
waterfalls, and rivers. That en­gineer
you sent down there has
gone through hell and made it a
realm of happiness, peace, and
industry.

Dear Miss Long:
I desire to correct an erroneous
impression created by my letter
of two weeks ago.
Last week Mr. Pugh has con­fused
his men that he knows so
much about. I am not Mr. Lelton
Lovvorn of 141 South Gay St.
but rather I am Lecil Lovvorn.
Mr. Lelton Lovvorn is no No way
responsible or had prior know­ledge
of my letter.
I heartily support the G.I. Bill
and was bemoaning the editorial's
"back-biting" of the man passing
the ammunition during the war.
After all some of my best friends
were war workers as well as
servicemen.
I agree that my letter was as
one-sided as the editorial which
is the point I desire to illustrate.
I thank you.
Yours sincerely,

November 22, 1946
Dear Editor,
The time has come for me to
be heard—Mr. Pugh, I fear, has
made the same mistake that so
many people make when pro­voked.
He collected the wrong
facts and proceeded to sound off.
James LECIL Lovvorn is not a
veteran. He does not live at 141
South Gay Street. Mr. Pugh may
have the correct P. O. box, about
that I don't know.
It so happens ihat a JAMES
LELTON LOVVORN is living at
141 South Gay Street. He is a
veteran and served four and one-half
years in the Army as stated
in Mr. Pugh's letter. That is
where I come in, I am James
LELTON Lovvorn and resent be­ing
accused of writing the let­ter
in question.
Since Lecil's letter appeared in
The Plainsman I have had to do
quite a big of explaining. I don't
agree with the views of the let­ter
and that's all the more reason
for my resenting the accusation.

By Ole Timer
Now that the heat and excite­ment
of politics is over we might
turn our attention to something
that will probably cause more
heat and excitement than two or
three student elections ever will
—the Beaux Art Ball sponsored
by Scarab.
It seems that once upon a time
it was a tradition to have a
Beaux Art Ball once each year
that might have put Paris to
shame for its risque daring. This
was the occasion of the year
when everyone lost his inhibi­tion—
got away with it since ev­eryone
was custumed and masked.
This went on for years until
somebody came as Lady Godiva
or some such thing. That was
more than poor Dean Biggin
could stand. The Beaux Art Ball
had to go. It went.
This year tne Beaux Art Ball
is being revived, bigger and bet­ter
than ever before. As it stands
now the date will not be until
the first of February but it al­ready
has everyone in the school
of architecture so excited over it
that they are forgetting to worry
about failing calculus again.
Plans call tor a torchlight par­ade
up College Street before the
ball begins with all the merry­makers
costumed and masked.
Strange exotic scenes will be seen
as-"King Khufu" leads the par­ade
in a sedan chair with his
favorite slave girl. The theme -of
decorations and costumes will be
Egyptian and all participants in
the parade and ball must be cos­tumed.
Of Importance between now
and the date of the ball will be
the selection of Miss Slave Girl
of 1946 who will probably be
auctioned off to the highest bid­der
some time during the ball.
Still more interesting are the
variety of costumes that may be
used. Of these the female dress
is by far the superior. It seems
that most of them just had a nar­row
strip of cloth up the middle
or an equally narrow strip of
cloth going over the right or left
shoulder, thus creating quite a
pleasing effect. As one specifica­tion
is, that all costumes must be
authentic, it is to be hoped that
no one would come as the gleam
in Cleopatra's eye.

Once Upon A Time 'War Eagle Really Existed
Eagle Adopted As Mascot Following
First Conference Win in Three Years
It all began in November 1930 when an immense golden
eagle swooped down on a group of tuckeys feeding in a pea
patch in the Bee Hive community near Auburn. Instead of
devouring the turkeys the eagle became entangled in the
pea vines, and was found later by a farmer.
Members of the ag faculty identified the eagle with 6 feet
4 inches wing span to be an in-habititant
of the Western United
States, and had probably been
blown into Alabama by prevail­ing
westerly winds that had been
blowing for several days.
Purchased for $10
A group of Auburn students
and citizens bought the huge bird
for $10 and presented him to the
A-Club at a mass meeting im­mediately
preceeding the Thanks­giving
game in Columbus with
the University of South Carolina.
Somehow the word got around
that War Eagle was a battle cry
uttered by the ancient Saxons
when they fought in battle, be­ing
a paean to the mighty buz­zards
that flew over the field of
battle waiting to devour the dead,
and consequently were known as
"war eagle." There could be only
one name for the bird, and that,
of course, was War Eagle.
On Thanksgiving Day the Tig­ers
went out on the field the un­derdog.
They hadn't won a con­ference
game in three years, and
the battle with the Gamecocks
was expected to be just another
loss.
A couple of backs named Lind-ley
Hatfield and Jimmie Hitch­cock
ran all over the boys from
South Carolina. Auburn racked
up 12 first downs to 7, marched
308 yards to Carolina's 108, and
the game ended 25-7 in favor of
the Plainsmen.
The student body could jump
at only one conclusion—War
Eagle was responsible.
A group of freshmen were as­signed
the job of seeing that the
precious mascot was always well
fed and never molested by any­one.
Benefit Dance Held
The following Saturday the A-Club
sponsored a benefit dance
to buy a cage for War Eagle. He
was kept in the cage behind
Alumni Hall for several weeks.
What became, of him? W e l l -
some say that he died, some say
that he was carried away by
students from a rival school, and
some say that his food bill was
so high that the A-Club couldn't
keep him. Anyway no one in Au­burn
today seems to know exactly
what his fate was.
Who knows, maybe he is some­where
out west soaring above
those high peaks still screaming
his cry just as loud as Auburn
students will scream their cry <jf

whether or not to enter religious
work. Becoming involved with
the National Council of Student
Volunteers church movement, he
went on to serve on mission
fields in Minnesota and Ontario.
Foreign mission work didn't
step into the picture until college,
wherein Dr. Dickson realized the
greater need for good work over­seas.
Having graduated from Mc-
Alester College, St. Paul, ' and
having done postgraduate work at
Princeton, he wished to go to
Korea. However, mission work is
like military service. You're sent
where you least expect to be sent.
Head Hunters
Formosa it was; headhunters,
heathens—cannibalistic peoples—
all awaited the missionary's ar­rival.
Some had the intention of
gaining a Christian education,
some had curiousity, and some
had a desire for human white
meat. Of Formosa's 6Vz million
people, 200,000 were aboriginal
savages. They hunted every type
of head, but "especially liked the
Japanese head," Dr. Dickson says.
When Dr. Dickson waved good
by to Formosa, he left behind him
a startling number of achieve­ments.
There are today 220
churches on the island of For­mosa.
There are three general
hospitals, four high schools, a
theological seminary, and a wom­an's
Bible school: The theological
school contained, upon his de­parture,
an enrollment of 30, the
high schools an enrollment of
120. Subjects taught are Bible
study, church history, homiletics,
and Christian ethics, with the
three R's thrown in, of course.
Prophecy
Before the war—in truth, one
year before the war—Dr. Dickson
informed the American military
headquarters on Honolulu that
the Japanese were preparing for
war. His warnings were not
heeded, and if they had been, the
war might have been averted.
During war years, Dr. Dickson
served as a missionary to British
Guiana. For the four main races

Cross-Country Team Outscores Florida, 40-15
P « • • . ur KJ j» •>. • • • — r Seven of Hutsell's Men Cross Finish
Line Before First Florida Runner
The Auburn cross-country team walloped Florida Friday
afternoon 40 to 15 for their second consecutive win of the
season. This win marked the fifth consecutive victory in two
years for the Tigers over the Gators
With Whitey Overton coasting
in first place, the Tigers placed
seven men before a Floridian
crossed the finish line. In finish­ing
second, Tommy Lowe showed
some of his winning form of last
year; Fred Kosack and Dick
Hutchinson fought it out for third
with Kosack winning out in the
final kick. Buddy Maddox ran a
good race in finishing fifth while
Jay Greene finished sixth and
Charlie Durham seventh.
Bemis of Florida gave Overton
a good race to the halfway mark
where he developed a cramp and
was forced to drop out of the
race; from there Overton went on
to win easily by a 150-yard mar­gin.
Fred Carley, still unable to run
because of an injury, was forced
to take a sideline.
Last week the Tiger harriers
beat Tech 22 to 33. Overton led
all the way and set a new course
record. Kosack, the second Au­burn
man, finished fourth.

belt the team journeys to Atlanta

CLOSE COMPETITION
BETWEEN PIKA AND
LCA ON GRIDIRON e>
To the disappointment of sev­eral
hundred spectators, the LCA
and PKA playoff ended without
any additional sideline action.
Wednesday afternoon the Pikes
and Lambda Chis battled to a 6-6
deadlock. Both teams flashed a
surprisingly strong defense, and
neither was able to reach pay
dirt, although both threatened
several times.
With neither team having won
the game, a four down play-off
was in order, but during the
course of the game tempers be
came frayed, and this situation
rapidly led to sideline action by
several interested spectators and
players.
When the officials finally re­stored
order, they ordered the
play off set for the following day
so as to prevent further friction.
Thursday the Lambda Chis
flashed one of the best passing
offenses seen on the campus this
season to push over a touchdown
in four plays. The Pikes were un­able
to match the Lambda Chis
in yardage gained, and thus the
Lambda Chis entered the finals
of the touch football playoffs with

afternoon.

lina it was their first win over a
Plainsman team since the season
of 1929 even if they did have to
take advantage of the breaks to
do it.
Although Aubmii pushed Clem­son
around pretty much at will,
and led in all departments ex­cept
through the air, Lady Luck
continued to smile on the oppon­ents
during the first half as Au­burn
failed to cash in on their
first period goalward drives.
Auburn left the field at the
end of the second quarter trailing
by 21 points, but came roaring
back during the third quarter to
completely dominate the balance
of the game. With Tidwell and
Cochran alternating at lugging
the pigskin, Auburn scored her
first touchdown after a sustained
98-yard march.
Tidwell scored Auburn's second
and final tally in the fourth quar­ter
when he took a Clemson punt
and raced back 58 yards with ex­cellent
blocking to score. Auburn
scored one other touchdown early
in' the third quarter as Waddail
took Tidwell's pass on Clemson's
20 and ran through a host of
Clemson players to score, but the
play was called back to the 20
where a clipping penalty was
called on Auburn.
In this game, the Auburn line
played one of the most aggressive
games of the season as Fulmer,
McClurkin and Poundstone con­stantly
broke through to break up
Clemson plays. McClurkin block­ed
two Clemson punts and par­tially
blocked a third.

IF 2000 POUNDS MAKE A TON . ..
How Many Tons of Coed Make an API!
Men Say'Not Enough1 But Here l is
By Bess Talbert
It's a known fact that 16 ounces make a pound and 2000
pounds make a ton but how many tons of coeds make an
API? Off-hand most masculine members of the* institute
would say "not enough". The majority of coeds would say
"too many".
It's a close to impossible job to
weigh each and every pound of
each and every coed because
there's a lot of both and also be­cause
they are so extremely aller­gic
to that truth-revealing device,
the scales. However put them all
together and you can get by in
revealing the results because it's
then so easy to blame the other
fellow.
An accurate calculation and
tabulation of pounds, pounds, and
more pounds made by the report­er
by the use of the law of aver­ages
and the multiplication table
indicates that the API coeds in
one body would tip the scales to
not five, not ten, but 90, not
pounds, but tons, of female bones
and beef. That sounds like a lot
of coed but then figures don't lie.
If you don't believe it, multiply
the 1,575 coeds by the average
weight, 115 pounds, and see what
you get.
These 90 tons do provoke their
problems. In the first place the
90 tons is a
fair share, each would be entitled
to all of 35 pounds. In other words
when a boy dates a 105-pound
girl he is trespassing on two oth­er
guys' property and the guy
with the 180-pound girl is depriv­ing
4 1/7 fellowmen. of their
rights.
So perhaps another project for
the bigger and better Auburn
should" be bigger and better ton­nage
of API co-eds.
Picking The Bones
With Bill Dearman
In carrying Coach Carl Voyles
off the field on their shoulders,
after losing a heart-breaker to
Clemson, the Auburn football
team made one of the nicest ges­tures
I've seen in a long time.
This action should convince ev­eryone
concerned that the team is
squarely behind its coach. Coach
constant source "of Voyles and the team has put in a
team made history last Friday
when they handed the Gator
track squad a 40-15 licking. For
the first time in the history of
Cross country meets, seven men
from the same team (Auburn's)
broke the tape before a single op­ponent
could roll up to the finish
line.
* * *
We're strictly on the beam here
at Auburn. Now that the time for
tennis has just about passed forj
several months, the Building and;
Grounds has put up new wire
and post around Auburn's five
tennis courts. Now all we need is
enough courts so that all the stu­dents
can play without having to
wait half the afternoon to obtain
a court.
* * *
Our batting average took a
downswing last week; so now we
stick our neck out for the final
time this season.
Auburn over Florida (we think
Auburn is going to end the sea­son
right anyhow); Mississippi
State to take Alabama; (I didn't
stutter when I said this); Tennes­see
to take Vanderbilt; LSU over
to take
RICE and OLD SHOES
Tulane; and Georgia
Georgia Tech.
worry to the 90 tons themselves.
There are those who do their
share and more in contributing
to the sum tonnage. There are
others who would like to contri­bute
more. If the 90 tons could be
distributed about more evenly the
problem would be solved. Say if
the 180-pound girl could bestow
the 20 pounds she's trying to get
rid of to the 98-pounds girl who's
trying to gain 20, then all would
be happy.
Secondly although 90 tons is 90
tons, the male population of API
is very aware of the face that it
doesn't bear much weight as far
as they are concerned. Like sugar
soap, old term papers, and all the
other good things of life, 90 tons
of co-ed is simply not enough to
go around. According to the fur­ther
calculation of the reporter,
this time by division, results show
that if every male deceived his
lot of hard work this season and1
we believe that they are entitled
to much more praise than most
of the students see fit to give.
After all anyone can. ride the
band-wagon and support a win­ning
team.
# * #
Having seen all of Auburn's
games except the opener, I be-j
lieve that the officiating done in
Saturday's game was the poorest,
officiating job I've seen all sea-j
son. We've not trying to alibi
about Auburn losing, but we hate
to see such a sloppy job of offi- (
ciating done anywhere, especially,
in the Southeastern Conference.
Auburn alone should have drawn
twice as many penalties as they
did, and' most certainly Clemson
was entitled to receive more pen­alties
than she did.

Basketeers Prepare
For Season's Opener
Looking forward to a tough
basketball schedule this winter,
Coach V. J. Edney is sending his
cage squad through rigorous drills
each week night in'-preparation
for the first game of the 46-47 sea­son.
The season opens against
Maxwell Field on December 10
here in Alumni Gym. This year
the Tigers meet every team in
the S.E.C., except Alabama and
Kentucky, at least once. They also
play Maxwell Field and Mercer,
two out of the conference teams,
twice each. Later on there is the.
possibility that more games will
be scheduled.
At the present time there are
about 20 men out working on the
boards. Led by Quenton Burgess,
letterman in 45, they are quickly
rounding into shape. Coach Edney
also has five more experienced
lettermen in O'Cain, guard; F.
Williams, center; Powell, wore-ward;
Burton, center; and Krez-menksi,
guard. There are some
15 other boys out who are giving
these lettermen a battle for their
positions. The reserve strength of
the team probably lies in the
following candidates: Stirling,
McKelvey, Watson, Shelby, Daw­son,
Reid, Pardue, Simpson, Bo-hanner,
Holley, Difley, McDan-iels,
G. Hill, Hartzog, and E. Hill.
When the football season draws
to a close several additions to the
squad are expected out, namely
Ray Williams, letterman in 45,
and Travis Tidwell, rifle-armed
halfback.
The group is coming along very
well and is rapidly shaping into
a smooth-operating basketball
machine. They are getting ready
to start the season off with a
bank with a win over Maxwell
on the 10.

MUSIC OF DECEASED
STUDENTS GIVEN API
The music department has re­ceived
a gift of sheet music and
books formerly in the possession
of Fred B. Bryant, former pre-medical
student of API who died
last summer at his home in An-niston.
Fred was an active participant
in extra curricular music on the
Auburn campus prior to his serv­ice
in the Armed Forces. He re­turned
to Auburn last year. His
sudden passing was a great shock
to maiiy at API for he was uni­versally
respected and admired.
The gift of music given by his
mother Mrs. Fred Bryant of An-niston
included 49 secular songs,
32 sacred songs, 31 collections of
songs, 23 voice and piano scores
of master works and 37 miscel­laneous
books on music.
The music will be placed in
the Applied Music Library.
ARA elected officers for the com­ing
year. There are Mark War­ren
Dillard, president; Talmadge
Blair, vice president; F o s t er
Fountain, secretary, and J. C.
Brown, treasurer.
