HOME-COMING SATVRDAY—WELCOME ALVMNI
MANY IMPROVEMENTS
ON CAMPUS
REAMS OF GREATER
AUBURN GRADUALLY
TAKING SHAPE
As the Alumni return they will
eagerly look forward to the fruits
of the Greater Auiiurn Campaign.
IN or wid their expectations be for
naught for the dreams of many
years are fast rounding into reali­ties.
Several additions have been
made to the college with others in
tne making.
The new dormitory representing
an expenditure of $140,000, made
* possible by. the Campaign is the
first unit to be completed. It was
completed last January and is one
of the finest and most modern
piants of its kind on any southern
campus. One hundred boys make
their home here under the super­vision
of a matron. All funds for
the financing of this building have
been collected.
__ An engineering laboratpry cost­ing
$60,000 will be completed with­in
a short time. Part of the facili­ties
for this laboratory have already
been installed. Most of the equip­ment
was donated by firms who
are friends of the college. One
wing is occupied by the Students'
Cooperative Club.
Work is far advanced on the
Erskine Ramsay Engineering Build­ing,
made possible by the magnifi­cent
donation of Mr. Erskine Ram­say.
When the Engineering Build­ing
is completed it will represent
an outlay of $225,000. Contractors
have promised to have it ready for
occupancy by October first 1925.
Mr. Ramsay has made an initial
payment of $50,000 on his pledge
of $100,000.
Mr. Hugh G. Grant, Executive
Secretary of the Campaign, has
charge of collections and is doing
excellent work. There are between
seven and eight thousand subscrib­ers
appearing on the books, many
of whom have paid their pledges,
with checks coming in every mail.
Mr. Grant and Captain Emmett P.
Smith will leave next week to go
to Mobile for the purpose of col­lecting
pledges to finance the build­ing
of Ramsay Hall. Other cities
to which they will go are Mont­gomery,
Birmingham, Columbus.
They will be assisted by other men,
, from the college, who volunteer
their services.

FRESHMAN "NITE'
The Y. M. C. A. inaugurated, last
Friday, a new custom at Auburn—
Freshman "Nite," (no upper class­men
allowed). After the first show
the "Rats" swarmed through the
Gym door, siezed a slice of ice­cream,
and beat it for the Gym
floor. Mr. C. H. Turk officiated
and gathered the noisy rodents
about the piano to hear some ex­cellent
solos by two public-spirited
"Rats." Then the group was sep­arated
into the four corners accord­ing
to birthdays; each corner hav­ing
to produce an original "stunt."
A charade, setting forth a com­mon
breakfast beverage, coffee,
was executed by a group parading
about the floor, coughing, follow?;!
by another group formed to make
an E, was adjudged the best stunt.
After a great many "Rats" had met
a great many other "Rats," by
merely reading the name plate pin­ned
on each "Rats" shirt, a break
was made for town via the main
entrance. "Eat-em-up-Tigah," was
the slogan mutually adopted by all. I
After careful consideration by
the Student Council, and others in­terested,
the new band uniforms
have been selected and ordered.
The band is intending to "strut"
new apparel at the L. S. U. game
this year.
The uniform will consist of a
blue garberdine cape which will
be lined with a rich orange. The
cape will have an Old English "A",
in a wreath, over the heart. There
will be two caps, one of the yacht­ing
styie with an orange tiger with
Auburn in, rainbow shape over him,
on the front, the other will be of
the Pershing style, bearing the mili­tary
insignia. The uniform proper
will consist of a Canadian style
blouse, with no trimming, and will
be made of gray whipcloth. Straight
trousers of the same material will
complete it.
The uniform has been designed
in such a manner that it will be
appropriate for all occasions. At
the games, when our band marches
out on the field to play the Alma
Mater, Glory to Old Auburn, etc.,
the cape will be thrown over the
right shoulder, making a rich color
scheme of orange and blue.
The combination of two caps, a
cape, and blouse makes the uniform
equally appropriate for gala and
formal occasions.
The expenditfi „• I for the uni­forms
will be $1800. This makes
it possible for our band to have one
of the best looking uniforms in the
country, coming up to the' standard
of some of the Eastern colleges
where similar uniforms are used.
Everyone interested in Auburn will
be glad to learn that Auburn will
lead the south as to the selection
of such a uniform.
Pharmaceutical Society
Starts Year Right
The Pharmaceutical Society held
its first meting, on Tuesday nite,
Sept. 23. A large number of old
men and a great many of new men
were out. Interesting talks were
made by Prof. H. S. Gentry, and
Mr. O. V. Smith on the work of
the society for the coming year.
Election of officers was held result­ing
in the election of the following:
O. V. Smith, President, J. S. Dunn
Vice-Pres., C. T. Burkhart, Sec. &
Treas. All the students of the Phar­maceutical
department are eligible
for membership in the Society and
are urged to come out and take part,
as much valuable information can
be obtained there, that cannot be
given in the classrooms. This so­ciety
meets every Tuesday night at
6:45 P. M. in the Pharmacy Build­ing.
Interesting programs will be
given by out of town speakers from
time to time. Come out and make,
the society bigger than ever.
Friendship Council
Holds Important Meet
Last Sunday afternoon an im­portant
Friendship Council meet­ing
was held in the Y assembly
room. Although the weather was
bad, there was almost 100 percent
attendance. Mr. Hollingsworth, an
Auburn graduate, was present and
addressed the Council. His talk
was very interesting and impress­ive.
The Majors then asked their
divisions to give their best during
this year, to maks the Council what
it ought to be. The Captains have
chosen their Lieutenants, and they
in turn will select their men this
week. Every student will probably
have been told by now that he is
a member of one of the squads of
the Friendship Council. Every one
is urged to cooperate with the*
Lieutenants in order that some
real work might be done. Keen
competition exists between the two
divisions and each one is trying to
win out.
The Dramatic Club met in the
attic of the Main Building Monday
night. The meetings are now being
held only twice a month in place
of the former weekly discussion
groups. The programs are being
planned along dramatic rather than
literary lines. A one-act play shall
be presented each time by two or
more members of the club along
with the discussions of various
plays.
Monday nigJ the program con­sisted
of a one-act play presented
by Miss Grace Gardner and Mr. I.
S. Johnson entitled: "The Imper­tinent
Creature." This play was
thoroughly enjoyed by the small
audience assembled in the Attic
Theatre. Prof. Jones, director of
the club, favored the group with a
discussion on the means for plac­ing
the Auburn Players on par
with similar organizations in other
clleges. Professor Kirkley follow­ed
with a talk on "Play Writing."
Professor McMillan offered his ser­vice
in instructing those who wish
to study stage decorating.

The student branch of the Amer­ican
Institute of Electrical Engi­neers
held its weekly meeting on
the night of September 24 in the
Engineering Auditorium.
The meeting was called to order
by its chairman, Mr. Betts, who
made a short talk on the record
and purpose of the A. I. E. E.
Mr. Betts then gave an interest­ing
Review of Engineering Posi­tions
Auburn Men Have Held. He
pointed out instances of Auburn
men holding some of the leading
positions in the electrical engineer­ing
field.
Next Mr. Douglas of the faculty
told of some of his Engineering Ex-perixnees
and Opinions of the
A. I. E. E. He pointed out that his
membership had been of great
benefit to him. As a conclusion he
urged all electrical engineers . to
become a member of the Institute.
In a lighter vein, Mr. Glenn gave
an informal talk. As is usual way
he soon had the meeting laughing.
Meaning of the A. I. E. E. and
Experiences of a Graduate was
the subject of talk by Mr. Hatchett.
This was both interesting nnd in­structive.
Mr. Hatchett has been
doing engineer-work in South
America.
This was the first program of the
year. It was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
The student •branch meets every
Wednesday night at 7:00 in the
Engineering Auditorium. All elec­trical
engineering students are
cordially invited and urged to at­tend.
Upper classmen are urged
to become members.
With several thousand wdd-eyed
spectators looking on, with the con­ventional
panners flying, and with
the added attraction of speeches,
the Auburn Tigers and the Birming­ham-
Southern Panthers woke King
Football from his summer torpor
and introduced him to that section
of the world at large which lives in
Birmingham. The Panthers, anx­ious
to dedicate their stu Uum i » > • "
an impressive manner, put up a
gallant fight, and not only held the
Tigers to a lone touchdown, but
actuality put on a last minute spurt
which threatened to resullt in a
score. However, the Tigers tight­ened
up at the cri*»al momeovaild"" •**•'"•
kept the Auburn goal line inviolate.
In obtaining their touchdown,
the Tigers used good old-fashioned
football, the favorite method being
to hand the ellipsoid to "Sealion"
Turner, who would forthwith tear
off large gains through the Pan­ther
line. By a steady march up
the field the ball was placed on '
the two yard line, and then Turner
rode over center for the first, last,
and only touchdown of the game.
After this, the Southerners tighten­ed
up somewhat, and while the Au-burnites
made plenty of first
downs, they were never able to
seriously menace the Panthers'
line. Some excellent forward pass­ing
was done in the first half, but
straight football was usually resort­ed
to.
After being dormant for three
periods, the Panther offensive
woke up in a startling manner in
the last quarter. They got hold of
the ball down around their own
goal line, where the Tigers had
been keeping it most of the
game, and suddenly pulled off
a 28 yard run, followed by
a 26 yard pass, the first be­ing
accomplished by Mr. Black,
who was also the hurler of
the pass. About this time the Tig­ers
put on the brakes and got the
ball, but were unable to do much,
and the Panthers recovered it
again, and led off with a 26 yard
run by Stephenson. This brought

Presbyterian Social
On Saturday night, the Presby­terian
students and townspeople
were royally entertained at a social
given at the Church. A big crowd
came out in spite of the threatening
weather. Various amusing games
were played and very much enjoy­ed.
After the games caka and ice
cream were served.
Those of the Faculty who attend­ed
were Profs. Robinson, Sibley,
Garman, and Dr. Miles..

HOME COMING
Saturday is the day that will mean much to old Auburn men.
Their dreams of coming back to their old haunts will be realized.
They will again walk through the main gate of our campus with the
pride of a Soph, talk to the Profs, as if he needed a "boot," feast
upon the sounds of "War Eagle" and get with the gang again and
help push that team to victory.
Plans have been completed for giving our elder Auburn brothers
a genuine welcome back to Auburn. They are men whose interest is
still with us, men who are anxious that Auburn keep growing, and
men who have served their Alma Mater as a student of the institu­tion.
The Plainsman joins the rest of the village in welcoming them
back again and extend our wishes that they may enjoy the home­coming
to the fullest and go back with more of the Auburn Spirit.
Not one student who attends Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute fails to
know to a certain extent, Dr.
George Petrie, author, history
teacher and Dean of the Graduate
students, the degree of intimacy
often depending on that person's
ability or disability to absorb his­tory.
Not only are students of re
cent years benefitted by contact
with his personality, but those who
have been here at any time during
the last thirty-five years have felt
his influence.
Dr. Petrie is by birth, belief, and
desire, presumably, an Alabamian,
his first home being in Montgom­ery.
He is the son of George Lau­rens
Petrie, a Presbyterian Minis­ter
and an author. (Could that ac
count for the volubility?) His
early education was received in the
public schools of Petersburg, Va.,
and the private school of Charlot­tesville,
Va. He graduated from
the University of Virginia, with de­gree
of M. A. in 1887, and came to
Alabama Polytechnic Institute in
the fall of that year. Two years
later he received the Virginia
scholarship at Johns Hopkins Uni­versity
and in 1891 graduated from
that school with the degree of Ph.
D. in history and political econo­my.
Dr. Petrie was then recalled
to A. P. I. as professor of History
and Latin and has been with that
institution to this day.
The writer has wondered why
a man of his calibre would care to
remain in Auburn for 35 years,
and finally "scraped up" courage
to enquire. The reply was not the
usual one of "I like the Auburn
Spirit," but one a little more to the
point. "I like the climate (stayed
two weeks in Chicago one
winter—never will again.) I have
thousands of friends over the
State. Wherever I go I
meet boys I have tried to teach. A
small town is pleasanter than a
large one. (The opera is the only
thing in New York and one can
enjoy that much more comfortably
over the radio—true Petrieism!). I
am writing an Alabama History and
this is probably as convenient a
spot as possible." This very prac­tical
person even married an Au­burn
girl.
Deep down in his heart, how-eper,
Dr. Petrie must love Auburn
for Auburn itself for even those
things, and the fact that A. P. I.
has established for itself the repu­tation
of being the best technical
school in the South, would not
have kept him here throughout
such a period of time unless it
were true.

THE BULLETIN BOARD
OVU CHEER. LEADER
Auburn debated this year from the usual custom of having a
student cheer leader. This action was taken by the "A" Club who
had the power of selecting the cheer leader this year. The Club
thought it best for the spirit of the student body for "Bill" to serve
a second term. He accepted the position in an effort to be of more
service to his Alma Mater.
"Bill" is very much loved by the students who know him and he
has already done a great deal for the institution in that he wrote
the words and music for our Alma Mater song and acted as cheer
leader during the past year.
Fellows, the "A" Club has seen fit to make "Bill" cheer leader.
He is a good one. The thing we must do is to get behind him and
help make that team win the Southern Championship.

SPORTSMANSHIP
Our first game on the campus, for the football season, will be
played on Drake Field this week-end. Many Freshmen and others
will see the Tiger fight for the first time. They will see a team that
stands, as all Auburn teams stand, for clean, fair sportsmanship. No
doubt many will for the first time see the Auburn student body and
supporters back their team with all their might and still show the
visitors all the courtesy that can be shown them.
There are a few points that the students observe and as a re­minder,
for some who are not familiar with them, we will give them
here:
1. Keep quiet while signals, of either team, are being called
near the bleechers.
2. Cheer an opponent if he is knocked out.
3. Never "razz" in any way. (Put that into backing the team.)
4. Don't make remarks about an opponent being knocked out.
Auburn's reputation for good sportsmanship is unexcelled on the
field or sidelines. It is up to every one of us to keep it up and even
make it better.

Your Attention
YOU cannot compose your thoughts—can­not
note the points of a lecture, if you are
writing with a pen that loses step as you go
along. That pen is a mental drag.
The sooner you replace it with the never
failing, never ailing Parker Duofold, the
quicker you will hit your stride in college
work and social correspondence.
Duofold not only gives the mind full play
and the hand full swing—its fit and balanced
symmetry and jewel-smooth point
inspire and stimulate. They tend
to develop a hand of speed and
character.
And we guarantee the point,
if not mistreated, for 25 years'
WEAR. So Duofold at $5 and
$7 is the most economical pen
—less costly than short-lived
pens priced lower.
Any good pen counter will
'sell you Parker Duofold—flash­ing
plain black; or black-tipped
lacquer-red, a color that makes
it handsome to own and hard
to lose.

members of the faculty of the col­lege
of Agriculture and other high
/officials of the state and college.
Then will come the floats, take-offs
and impersonations. The floats,
in the main, will be educational in
nature typifying work of the vari­ous
departments of the college of
Agriculture.
There will be a number of take-offs
and impersonations of many
of the well-known individuals and
organizations about the campus.
The current events of the college
will be characterized by various
methods.
From the sight of the leader to
the disappearance of the last float
the spectators will find an ex­tremely
high-class parade; in fact,
according to the committee in
charge, the parades of the famous
Barnum and Bailey shows are com­paratively
small as compared with
the one which is about to spring
forth for approval. The purpose
is merely to give the visitors an
«idea as to what they may expect
of the Ag. Fair, as well as to show
the public that the students in the
College of Agriculture are capable
of doing practical, humorous and
entertaining things, even though
scientifically trained.
The course of the parade will be
Decorations
In order to make the annual Ag
Fair a much bigger and better suc­cess
than ever before, a most elab­orate
scheme for decorations has
been worked out.
To add gayety and something of
the ordinary fair elements, there
will be brilliant colored lanterns
hung about the building, also much
display of the royal old Orange and
Blue will be used. You will be
reminded of the fact that you are
on "Ag Hill" by the various farm
products that will array the stage,
orchestra stand, judge's box, re­freshment
stand, and through the
building in general.
The construction committee has
arranged seating capacity for over
600, so there will be a seat for you
if you come early.
Everybody come to "Ag Hill" and
see that the "Ag Bunch" is not
asleep, and That they know how to
put a thing over in grand style.
There will be plenty of fun and
enjoyment for all.
There will be no reserved seats,
so come early and demand the
best seat.
as follows: Starting at the Agricul­tural
building, going north on Main
Street to Faculty Avenue, east
on Faculty Avenue to Gay Street,
north on Gay Street to Depot
valley, east on Depot valley to
Main Street, south on Main Street
to Toomer's corner, west from
Toomer's corner to the outskirts of
Society Hill, south on "No man's
land" to the Practice Houst, east
from the Practice House to Main
Street, north on Main Street to the
Zoo, north from the Zoo to the
home of cream and candy.
The parade will start promptly
at 3:00 o'clock, and in order to
get a good view of all the imper­sonations,
take-offs and floats the
committee advises one to get on
the street early and claim standing
room.
Gobs and Gobs
of Exhibits
If history repeats itself as it has
many times before, the Ag. Fair
this year will have its share of ex­hibits
to present to those people
that are interested in the Ag. De­partment,
and also those who are
curious to know just what Ag. men
have in their college that is worth­while
studying.
The Home Economics Depart­ment
is planning on having one of
the best exhibits yet. They will
certainly have to go some to beat
some other Departments that in­tend
to take the cake this year. It
is also hinted that the class in
foods will demonstrate their wares
and if they do there is a chance
for some of you prospective seniors
who are looking around for a good
cook as well as a dip to make your­self
present during the Fair.
Most every visitor at the fair last
year remembers the beautiful dis­play
put on by the Horticultural
Department. Under the supervision
that this is under this year it is
safe to say that this part will not
go without honor this year. Those
interested in the worms and things
which we so often have the privi­lege
of sampling in our fruit, will
have an opportunity to see these
pets of the Entomology Department
on that great night.
ft would not do to leave one Qf
the most important Departments
out, such as the Botany Depart­ment,
which so many of the Sopho­mores
in Agriculture and other
courses are so interested in. Many
things of interest and of an educa­tional
nature are to be seen only
for the expense of a little energy.
Last, but Hot least, the Depart­ment
of Ag. Engineering is also
going to be prepared to give you
a great wonder. So often you have
heard of the horse and mule being
fed on dry corn and hay but did
you ever think that the day would
come when you coulld get the same
work better done by feeding a horse

The Scene of
Negro Minstrel
The scene of the Negro Minstrel
is laid in an old out-house down on
the farm. At the beginning of the
first act the cast of long, lean, lazy;
Africans as well as the fat, fussy,
flashy, flabbergasted black aces
will be deeply enthused over a so­cial
game of the old time African
golf.
One hard-hearted _ Rastus, who,
from all indications, makes up his
meals by swallowing eggs shells and
all (and by the way he admits that
even though he does not eat eggs
in this manner, in all his experi­ences
he has made very few mis­takes
as to whether the eggs were
bad or not), loses all his week's
earnings. He then begins to relate
his experiences hunting polar bears
and elephants in the Tropics.
Ebenezer Aspergillus Epizudiac
Mentholatum, the bass soloist,
claims that he has never seen a note
too low for him and that the more
"low-down" he gets the more satis­faction
he can get from partaking
of the chicken pie and of rollin'
"them bones o'ruination."
The famous negro minister ap­pears
and breaks up all the .'un of
the .golf game, delivers a "hell burn­ing
sermon," then calls for music.
Here appears the famous quartet
which hails from little old New
York. This quartet has never been
heard this far South before. Many
of you who are fortunate enough
to have a radio set in you* home
have heard this quartet from afar
I am sure, and will be delighted
to see them and hear their won­derful
music at close range. Those
of us wlio are not fortunate in
^a liquid substance which this par­ticular
horse never tires of or com­plains
about. If you want to see
this wonderful thing which some
Ag. men know nothing about, then
be at the Ag. Fair sure.
Big Event to Come
To Ag. Campus
Listen, folks, we've just beat 'ell
out of everybody we have played
this year 'cept V. P. I. an' we give
'em a nasty fight. Everybody
knows we've got the BEST FOOT­BALL
TEAM in the world. Even
the little birdies are singing Touch
Down, AUBURN. That means that
we are going to beat L. S. U. so
bad this week-end that they won't
know whether their colors are
GREEN or YELLOW. This beauti­ful
weather seems to give every­body
a good feelin' and make 'em
feel good plum down in their shoes.
They say that when we beat
Georgia and then beat Tech, there
will be a storm, an equinoctial
storm. Now just a word about the
storm. The word equinox came
from the ancient Winderanean,
and was derived from two words,
equin and ox. Now folks, me not
being an Anthropologist nor a Phil­anthropist,
I am unable to relieve
your worried mind as to the mean­ing
of the word of the first part
but I presume, after careful fore­thought,
due deliberation, and clev­er
deduction, that it has to do with
the home life of the ancients of
that time; namely, the nightly row

having the radio will be delighted
to hear this melodious music for
the first time. This is a treat that
does not come many times during
our short sojourn here on this
earth, so be sure that you see these
players and music makers.
College life offers many thrills
as well as many opportunities to see
the rare things of this old world,
but seldom does even a college stu­dent
have an opportunity to see
the great producers of music, and
to hear the sound of voices that
ordinarily demand hundreds of
dollars to appear on the stage.
I am warning you now, so don't
forget this production and be at
the Ag Fair. You will get lots of
laughs mixed with these classics.
No doubt those who saw the
wheelbarrow polo game at the Ag.
Club Fair last year have not for­gotten
the hard fought battle be­tween
.the Sophomores and Rats
which ended 7-6 in favor of the
former. This unique game has
come to be the annual classic of
the Ag. Fair. This year the teams
will be chosen as usual from the
Sophs and Rats. Each team bids
fair td be made up of husky fel­lows
who will put up a game that
will far exceed any that has been
played at the hangar.
Space does not permit a detail­ed
explanation of this interesting
game—so come out to the Ag. Fair
and root for the team of your
choice. You will see a game full-of
pep and fun from beginning to
end.

looked on and applauded with
glee as the lesser half becomes the
better half. The latter word, ox,
has to do with the male member of
the canine family known in the ver­nacular
of that day as swine.
In view of all that is said above,
it is quite evident that it is going
to be a mean storm. Well, some­thing
else is coming off, in this
community, just about two weeks
before we beat 'ell out of TECH,
and all that mell of a storm you
been readin' about comes off.

Clemson Cohorts
Invade Village
Fresh from their overwhelming
victory over Elon, the Clemson Tig­ers
are advancing on the lair of the
Auburn Jungle Cat. The Carolin­ians
are feeling pretty good this
year and are saying sweet nothings
about clawing the Auburn variety
of Tiger. They have plenty of
cause to feel confident as they have
one of the best elevens ever assem­bled
at the hill school and are due
to give the Plainsmen all kinds of
trouble.
The plucky team that fought Au­burn
to a standstill last fall has
four shining representatives on this
year's aggregation. Captain Robin­son,
who did such excellent punt­ing
last September will call the sig­nals
for* the visiting bunch, while
Harmon is back at half-back. On
the line Jackson and Wilson will
again stack up against the Auburn
forwards.
Several of the Auburn regulars
who did not take part in the Bir­mingham-
Southern game will prob­ably
get in Saturday's fracas. Reese,
Self, Brice, Ollinger, Allen, and
others did not get in the affray
with the Panthers. It is probable
that some of these worthies will be
used against Clemson, as the game
promises to be a stiff one that will
"tail for plenty of reserve material
on both sides.
One advantage of last Saturday's
setto with Rirmingham-Southern is
that the Auburnites will hardly be
overconfident about tomorrow's
battle, while Clemson might possib­ly
draw hasty conclusions from
that most unreliable of all sources,
the comparative score table. Of
course, comparative scores say
that Clemson is 53 points better
'LaaBaftuDtirit, but everybody knows
that one of the isstitutions up at
Tuscaloosa is kept especially for
people who would draw any such
conclusions. On the other hand,
let us not forget that Auburn is go­ing
to have a very able foe in the
team from South Carolina. Most
assuredly when the Tiger of the
Hills meets the Tiger of the Plains,
the fur is going to fly, and there
will be staged a battle that will be
worth anybody's time to see.
SPORTS
The Man With the
Educated Toe
"""PEA" GREEN
Trackmen
Carry On
In spite of the weatherman's at­tempts
to prove the old folks to be
amateurs when it comes to telling
about the activities of old Jupe
Pluvius, the Auburn track squad is
having daily workouts under the
supervision of Coach Hutsell. The
cross-country men might be seen
any day jogging gaily out into the
great open spaces and an hour or
so later wending their weary way
homeward. For the harriers have
been getting their mileage every
day in spite of the rain and chill
breezes. Meanwhile the other
tracksters are having light work­outs,
while Coach Hutsell is show­ing
the weight men the very latest
in the art of heaving the pill or
twirling the plate.
Speaking Of Sports
Birmingham-Southern took that
dedication too seriously.
Messrs. Black and Green made
quite a colorful combination for
the Southerners, the former doing
most of the gaining and the latter
doing a great deal of the stopping.
In the department last mentioned,
Brother Scott also shone brightly,
coming throifgh several times and
stopping the Tiger backs in a dis­gusting
manner.
Supporters of our rivals of last
Saturday are making much of the
]jm<*4Qct that they scored tnree first
downs to Auburn's two in the sec­ond
half. But lest we forget, the
Tiger backs registered ten in the
first half 'while Southern's first
down column was bitterly blank.
Judging by the way Harmon and
Robinson galloped through the Elon
bunch, Clemson must think that
they are race horses instead of
*, Tigers. -Well, maybe they were, up
there, but remember that Epinard
was the snaked elbow as long as
he stayed in France, but when he
went visiting he began to discover
that there was such a thing as sec­ond
place.
Mercer goes north next Saturday
to meet Syracuse University. If
Syracuse wins, which they will
more than likely do, the papers
will play the game as "another
great intersectional contest won
by northern college" and will show
where the results prove more than
ever the superiority of the average
northern college over the average
southern school. With all due re­spect
to Mercer, we do not believe
that she is in a class with Syracuse,
but it is our opinion that the plucky
Georgians would ride roughshod
over schools like Ursinus, Hobart,
Lebanon Valley and other institu­tions
that are more nearly their
size.

the ball down in Auburn's territory,
and made the situation look deli­cate,
but things tightened up about
this time and after a futile try for
a field goal, Southern gave up the
ball. After this spurt, Birmingham-
Southern was through; she had
''shot her wad" and Auburn started
up the other way with the ball, the
game ending with the two teams
in the Panther's territory.
In winning the game, the Tigers
used little but straight football,
keeping the inside stuff for later
games. Turner did some fine line-plunging,
being assisted by Salter
in that line. Pea Green attended
to the punting end of the perform­ance
and put up a good exhibition,
outkicking his opponent by about
3 yards per kick. Williams did
some nice advancing with the ball,
as did Crane and Harrison, al­though
the latter two did not have
much chance to show their wares.
Dean Petersen handled the team as
he usually does, that is to say in a
winning' way, and was also con­nected
with several passes which
netted nice gains.
On the front rank, Grisham prob­ably
gave the best exhibition, as
might be expected. He played
havoc with the opposing line, as
might be shown by the number of
substitutions made in the right side
of the Panther line. Lawrence
cleanly outplayed his opponents
at center, although that is such a
common occurrence that it hardly
deserves mention. The rest of the
line performed in a topnotch man­ner.
Only two new men got into
the game in the line, English and
Shorty Johnson going in at tackle
and guard respectively, and both
making a good showing.
As for the losing side, there
were three outstanding performers.
Black was undoubtedly the back-field
star, doing most of the ad­vancing
and punting as well as
playing a good defensive game. In
the line Green and Scott made a
fine pair of tackles who stopped
several Tigers behind the line.
While Bullo Williams did not show
up as well as expected, the Pan­ther
team as a whole put up a
great exhibition and promise a
great deal of trouble for their fu­ture
opposition.
While the game was by no means
a walkaway, the Tigers outplayed
the Southerners to a great enough
extent to prove the evident super­iority
of the Auburn team, the Pan­thers
failing to make a first down
until the last quarter. Although a
/I to 0 score does not look as im­pressive
as a 60 to 0 verdict, still
a win is a win, and the Tigers did
well in saving some of their touch­downs
for other and harder op­ponents
who are yet to come.

Rats Get Down
To Real Grind
With the football season well
underway, Coach Newell, with the
aid of his assistants, is drilling his
hirelings in the art of passing, punt­ing,
plunging, but mainly in that
of plunging. Six days in the week
the Frosh go through various ma­neuvers
designed to perfect them
in their special line. A stiff scrim­mage
was the order of the day last
Saturday, when many of the candi­dates
were given an opportunity
to show their goods. The backfield
looks exceptionally strong this
year. Time after time the backs
would rip off long gains behind un­usually
good interference.
Those who are making strong
bids for a backfield berth are:
Quarterbacks: Tuxworth, Newsome
and Wills. Halfbacks: Newsome,
Hitchcock, Snyder and Ellis. Full­backs:
Proctor, Granger, Tamplin
and Hagood. Others who looked
good, but have not had the chance
to get in the dirty work, are: Can-trell,
Albrecht, Oakly, Shots, Wood-all.
The line is being whipped
into shape with excellent material
to pick from. Those who seem to
be the best bets for the line posi­tions
are: Centers: Patterson, Fox,
Smith. Guards: Carrol, Becker,
Primm, Burns. Tackles: Manley,
C. A., Scott, Porter, Cunningham,
Lutz, Calvin. Ends: Manley, M. M.,
Richardson, J., Richardson, O. P.,
Gujthrie, Maury, Garett, Pierce,
Sheapheard, French.
In addition to the above men­tioned
Rats there are many more
who have1 not yet been able to se­cure
equipment so that they might
get in the actual scrimmaging. Ac­cording
to Coach Newell, only those
who are willing to get in and fight
and report for practice every after­noon
will wear the coveted Nu­meral.
He expects to have a first
class team to put on the field on
October 17 when the Tiger Cubs
meet the Mercer Rats in Macon.

CLEMSON
With the Enemy
Clemson and Elon staged a track
meet up at Clemson's home grid­iron,
the Tigers romping away to
a 60 to 0 victory. Harmon and
Robinson, veterans of last year,
made four touchdowns each. It
was said that the drizzle interfered
with the work of the fast Clemson
backs. Elon will probably have a
week of prayer, thanking the pow­ers
that be for the rain.
Georgia Tech opened up with a
19 to 0 victory over Oglethorpe,
Wycoff as usual being the big noise.
Tech is liable to meet a Tartar this
Saturday when V. M. I. pays them
a visit.
The University of Georgia rode
roughshod over Mercer, but they
were scored on, the score being 26
to 7. The Bulldogs' next visitor is
South Carolina University.
Vanderbilt University got plenty
of action when Henderson-Brown
College held them to a 13 to 0 score.
Vandy will probably get more than
they expect when the meet Bir­mingham-
Southern next Saturday.
Mike Donahue's L. S. U. bunch
found stiff opposition when Spring
Hill held them to a 7 to 6 score.
Southwestern University is on
Mike's menu for next Saturday.
The V. P. I. Gobblers, who will
be the hosts to the Tigers on Oc­tober
11, trampled on Richmond
University to the tune of 28 to 0.
Their next opponent is Hampden-
Sidney, who did so well against
Virginia last Saturday.:..
Tulane is preparing for the Miss­issippi
College invasion after hav­ing
won the first game of the sea­son
from Mississippi College, 13 to

Howard College cancelled last
Saturday's game with Vanderbilt
out .of respect for the memory of
Harris G. Cope, their head coach
for the past several years, by whose
death Southern football has suffei •
ed a real loss.
Old Stars
Back In Auburn
'Slick'" Moulton Coaching
High School
Two members of Auburn's peer­less
1922 team are back in their old
haunts after successful seasons in
the baseball realm. "Slick" Moulton,
star end and punter de luxe for the
Tigers, is coaching the high school
team this year. Slick, who also
played baseball for Auburn, had a
great season with Hattiesburg,
champions of the Cotton States Lea­gue.
Charlie Gibson, catcher and
quarterback for the Tigers in years
past, is in the village. Gibson has
just completed his first year of pro­fessional
ball, having spent the en­tire
season with the Philadelphia
Athletics. Charlie made a good
showing with the Mackmen, and
some papers have gone so far as
to predict that the regular catch­ing
staff will be Bruggy and Gibson
next year.

THE PLAINSMAN
"Hello" On Our Campus
)
It has been said that everybody
speaks at Auburn, and that this
condition does not exist at most
of the other colleges. Our editor
is pleading for a One Hundred
percent "Everybody Speaks" cam­pus.
If this can be brought about
we will all feel more at home and
the newcomers will feel more like
being welcomed into the family.
The following bit of verse expresses
the writer's sentiments and opin­ion
in the matter.
"HELLO"
"Hello" doesn't last for a minute,
A clear little, queer little word,
But say, there's a lot of cheer in it;
It's like the first chirp of a bird
In spring, when the hilltops are
greening
Right after the cold and the snow,
I think when it comes to real mean­ing
There isn't one word like
"Hello."
It's full of good cheer; when you
say it
It breathes the real soul of good
will;
You don't have to wait till you
weigh it;
You just send it forth, and the
chill
Of gloom and despair flies before
it
As leaves in the autumn wind blow,
i So here's the old greeting, I store it
With luck, cheer and gladness,
"Hello."
It's a wonderful word when you
hear it
From some real old friend who is
true
As the needle to the pole is, or
near it,
It's great when he hears it from
you.
It has all the joy and the splendor
The song of the birds has, I know,
It's cheery, it's jolly, it's tender,
That friend to friend greeting,
"Hello."
WILSONIAN MEETING
Co-Eds
(With apologies to Tennyson's
"Brook.")
They come from towns both large
and small,
They come from farm and hill
And some are thin and some are
fat
And some are fatter still.
By sixteen units they get in,
Or slip past Bunny Shi,
Mr. Price next takes their cash
Nor heeds their woeful cry.
Eventually they seek the zoo,
The source of grits and hash.
Miss Harris says "Elect Home Ec."
Miss Dobbs says "Don't be rash."
Some have come to study,
Some have come to play,
Some have come to catch a beau
But these aren't apt to stay.
But big and small we love them all,
They really are worthwhile.
Anyway they're here to stay
So bear it with a smile.
Once more one of Auburn's fore­most
literary societies is in full
swing, A lie VVilsomans presented
last Tuesday night this entertaining
program; see if you don't think
that it would be worth your while
to join and enjoy the fun. Miss
Kubye Powell gave many impor­tant
notices of student activities,
and was followed by "Sheik" Wild­er,
who gave a comprehensive talk
on "Current Events" as applied to
our country and college. In sup­port
of the country he s.^nwed how
the Olympic Games, uie 'Ttlound
the World" Flight, and Radio De­velopment,
fully uphold our su-premecy.
Mr. Wilder drew a per^
tinent conclusion that Auburn need­ed
a better broadcasting station,
plans for which are already, being
considered. The most interesting
event, he said, was about to happen
Saturday. BEAT CLEMSON. It
was a fine speech, the lesson of
which should be taken to heart by
every Auburn man.
By way of lighter entertainment
Mr. Yarborough and "Slick" Moul-ton
played a few selections on ban­jos.
Miss Lillian Dunn gave a reci­tation
on the affairs of the heart of
a colored preacher; an excellent
selection both in respect to humor
and sincerity. In regard to the
next event it may be said that a
serious speech does not always
come out in the wash as its author
has planned. Mr. A. Q. Martz un­dertook
to set forth the assets of
Co-education in Auburn. "Girls",
he said, "are a drawing card for
the boys; most of whom are will­ing
to take a chance." Later he as­serted
that "Girls exert a civiliz­ing
influence." Undoubtedly he re­ferred
to the regular lady with a
rolling pin. At any rate some peo­ple
will proceed with considerably
more caution in the vicinity of
Smith Hall. It may be mentioned
here that the very original plan
has been adopted in the Wilsonian
of having the program before the
business, so that the members, be­ing
in a hurry to get out, will not
spend too much time in discussion.
It was reported that the inter-so­ciety
committee would meet to ar­range
dual programs. Don't you
non-members think that these will
be worth hearing?

THE ARTERIES OF A MODERN FACTORY
In tunnels, behind walls, beneath floors
in every American factory, complex sys­tems
of piping inter-connect the various
departments. Delivering water, steam,
compressed air, oil and gas to every point
where they are needed, these pipe-lines
enable each department of the institution
to specialize in its particular function.
They make possible the centralizing of the
production of power, heat and gas at efficient
large-capacity plants. They allow the isola­tion
offire hazards and obnoxious processes.
Should one of them fail, however, pro-1
duction might be crippled, even stopped.
That is why it is so important to get uni­form
quality in every part of a piping in­stallation;
why the Crane name, the assur­ance
of dependable quality on products
that cover all piping needs, means so much
to architects, engineers and owners. CRAN E GENERAL OFFICES: CRANE BUILDING, 836 S. MICHIGAN AVENUE, CHICAGO
