R. O. T. C. Most Important Unit
of National Defense, says
Major Stockton
• R.O.T.C. units in American colleges
and universities are regarded as the
mot important units in the national
system of defense, Major E. H. Stock­ton,
Jr., coast artillery corps, Wash­ington,
D. C, declared at the week­ly
meeting of the Auburn Lions Club.
Major Stockton and Major T. J.
Johnson ,of the general staff, Wash­ington,
D. C, who was also guest of
the club, spent two days in Auburn
this week inspecting the Auburn R.O
T.C. for the annual rating by the war
department. Both officers spoke- of
the Auburn unit in high terms. The
report submitted to the war depart­ment
by these officials will determine
whether or not Auburn R.O.T.C. will
be rated as "distinguished college."
Auburn has received this rating for
the sixth consecutive time.
Major Stockton and Major John­son
inspect selected colleges in the
fourth, fifth, and sixth corps areas.
While in Auburn they were guests
of Major John E. Hatch, commandant
and Captain Kenneth Althaus, ad­jutant.
Other guests of the Lions club who
responded to toasts were Lion J. W.
Patton of Montgomery, district gov­ernor
of the Alabama Lions; Lion Ar­thur
Brookwell of Chicago, represent­ing
the international Lions club head­quarters,
and Lion Akin of Notasu!-

DULCY' AS IT IS
SEEN BY A COED
"Say, believe me, this show is goin'
to be a knock-out!" said the new co­ed,
in her classic English.
"I think Catherine Hare is fun­nier
in this than she was in that show
about the Oklahoma oil fields," said
her boy-friend, giving an extra hitch
to his purple-and-pink golf socks.
"Yeh, she was swell in that," sigh­ed
the co-ed, over a mouthful of
Spearmint. "Phil Tippin makes a
cute husband, don't he; I wish I was
playing her part. Look, there's
Hartwell Davis, playing the movis
scenario writer. Say, wouldn't you
think they'd keep a nut like that in
Hollywood?"
The boy-friend-of-the-moment be­came
excited. "Wow, who is that
classy looking blonde?"
The co-ed smiled at him pitingly.
"Why, that's Beth Seibold, y'poor
egg! I thought everybody knew
her. I wonder if she's going to
marry Foster Thomas or Ralph Mc-
Clung."
"McClung is that rat who wears
the speedy sweaters, isn't he?"
"Yes, he's the one. I didn't know
Don MacKenzie was in "Dulcy". Re­member
him in Collegiately Speak­ing?
He was the hard boiled actor."
"What part does he play in1 this
show?" the boy-friend asked.
"I think he's a millionaire or some­thing.
Alma Bentley is playing the
part of his wife and Beth Seibold is
their daughter. Well, I never thought
the day would come when I'd see
Bob McKinnon playing the part of
a butler after seeing him as a bar­ber
in "You're Next." Doesn't he
get a funny variety of parts in these
Auburn Players' Shows?"
The boy-friend watched a busy in­dividual
in the wings. "Who is that
fellow who seems to be bossing the
stage hands around?"
"That's Jim Price. He's the stage
manager. The property man who is
painting the red chairs is named
White. He plays a part in the show,
too."
A loud voice came booming from

To Determine Rating of
Colleges; Officers
Here Pleased
Major E. H. Stockton, Jr., and Ma
jor T. J. Johnson, of the Coast Artil­lery
Corps, Washington, composed the
Board of Inspectors representing the
War Department here during Monday
and Tuesday to inspect the local R.
O.T.C. unit to determine whether
Auburn should be rated "Distinguish­ed
College" by the War Department.
Auburn has won the coveted "Dis­tinguished
College" for the past six
successive years, an honor that has
not been equalled by a small number
of colleges who compete. Three of
these have been under the command
of Major John E. Hatch, and should
the Board rate Auburn as Distinguish
ed this year it will be the fourth time
straight under the command of Major
Hatch and the seventh consecutive
time for the college.
A thorough inspection of the Engin
ers, Artillery, and Infantry laboratory
and classes was made. Problems were
worked by the various classes as well
as exhibition drills and manuevers.
Regardless of the fact that the in­spection
was made during such un­favorable
weather the local officers
in command are of the opinion that
the Corps of Cadets made a showing
that surpassed that made during an
inspection in previous years. A re­view
was staged in honor of the in­specting
officers Monday evening.

MUSIC DEPT. OF
WOMAN'S CLUB
TO GIVE RECITAL
Next Wednesday, April 7th* at 3
o'clock Mr. Howard Ellington, violin­ist,
and Mrs. A. Carnes, soprano, will
be presented in recital by the Music
Department of the Woman's club.
This is the fourth of the series which
has been arranged by the Music De­partment
of the club and attention
is called to the holders of season
tickets to this fact. Single tickets
can now be secured from members of
the club and will be on sale at the
door, the price being 35 and 25 cents.
Mrs. Carnes needs no introduction
for she has sung on many occasions
and has always delighted her audi­ences.
Mr. Ellington is rapidly becoming
one of the leading violinists of the
state and is looking forward to ex­tensive
study in the east and abroad.
He won in* the state contest two years
ago and since that time has been i-denified
with many musical activities
in the Birmingham district. The
most outstanding feature of his work
is his connection with the Birming­ham-
Southern Glee Club, where he
has distinguished himself as violin so­loist
and as director of a Musical
Extravaganza which was put on in
Birmingham and had a run of three
nights. An Alabama boy,. Alabama
trained, Mr. Ellington will be cordial­ly
received in Auburn and everyone
interested in the promotion of Ala­bama
musicians should hear this re­cital.
After the recital tea will be served
by the college girls who were former­ly
members of the Junior Music Club,
and they extend a cordial invitation
to the entire audience to remain for
the social hour and meet the artists.
"It was not geographic location,
slavery, nor the Mason Dixon line
that defined "The South," but it was
sympathy of feeling of those people
that felt that they belonged to "The
South," Dr. U. B. Phillips, graduate
of the University of Georgia, and
Columbia University, and present
professor of American History at the
University of Michigan, declared be­fore
the class in historical laboratory
Wednesday.
The speaker was introduced by
Dr. George Petrie, dean of graduate
studies, who told of Dr. Phillips re
ceiving the Justin Winsor prize from
the American Historical Association,
his great essays on states rights, and
on the history of slavery.
"The negro influenced the South
in three ways, in the fact that he
was a negro, a slave, and a laborer.
He served to develop the Southern
gentleman's character of responsibil­ity,
kindness, and traits of leadership.
There never was a real possibility of
making a slave state of Kansas, They
only struggled for what they consid­ered
to be a principle of right. Jef­ferson
Davis and Abraham Lincoln
each stood for what they considered
to be their rights, looking toward the
future and not merely toward the
situation in their own day.
"When it came to sesession, this
was an act on the part of each south­ern
state, but the movement was a
whole southern one. This action as
states kept it from being a mere
revolution, and based its action on
a constitutional right.
"It is hard to define what is strictly
included in the South, as there is
really no definite territorial boundry.
The South is not strictly the agricul­tural
center of this country, as the
states of Ohio and Iowa offset this
theory. The South is nothing but
people who think themselves as sou­therners,
having a variety of tradi­tion
that are well worth cherishing.
Dr. Phillips is the author of sev­eral
essays including Georgia and the
States Rights, History of Transpor­tation
in the Eastern Cotton Belt,
Life of Robert Toombs, and the Am­erican
Negro Slavery. He also is
the Editor of "Plantation and Fron­tier
Documents" and The Correspon­dence
of Robert Toombs.Alexander
H. Stephens, Howell and Cobbs. He
is at present writing three volumes
of the history of the South.
NOMINEES FOR
'MISS AUBURN'
ARE SELECTED
NOTICE TO SENIORS
All seniors who were in Pro­fessor
Kirkley's Freshman Eng­lish
Section four years ago are
requested to leave their names
with Professor Kirkley in the
English office, third floor Main
Building. This is very import­ant
as Professor Kirkley has
misplaced his roll book contain­ing
these names and he is an­xious
to get in touch with these
Seniors. He has something in
store for them.
Four nominees have been named
in the contest to represent Auburn
at the reecption to be given by
Governor Brandon at the Governor's
Mansion, prior to the reception to
be given at Stone Mountain at which
President and Mrs. Coolidge will be
present. The four nominees as se­lected
by the classes are as follows:
for the Senior Class, Clara Ellen
Yarbrough, Alberta Proctor, Junior
Class; Ann Brown, Sophomore class
and Manette Thomas, from the
Freshman class.
Each town in the state will send
sponsors to the Governor's Recep­tion
and from these will be selected
two sponsors who will represent the
state at Stone Mountain. The con­test
closes at Auburn on the night
of April sixth. Votes for the spin-sors
will be cast at a penny each, the
nominee receiving the highest num­ber
of votes will act as "Miss Au-
' -rr." at the reception.
The proceeds of the contest will
go toward caring for Auburn's quota
of Stone Mountain Coins. The bal­lot
boxes are located at each of the
durg stores down town. Stud».its
are urged to cast their votes for the
sponsor of their choice before the
night of April 6.
WEIDEMEYER TO
FURNISH MUSIC
FOR LAST PROM
Social Committee is Planning
To Make Hop "Bigger
and Better"
The annual senior commencement
dances will be featured by the playing
of the famous Weidemeyer's Orchest­ra,
of Huntington West Virginia.
This orchestra makes a speciality
of college hops, and their reputation
is known far and wide. They played
at the mid term dances at the Univer­sity
of Alabama last year, and have
been engaged this year to play for
the commencement dances at that
college, following their engagement
at Auburn.
The Auburn dances will be held
May 13, 14, and 15, at the college
gymnasium, and the only promise
that the social committee makes us
that they will be bigger and better.

HIGH SCHOOL
SENIOR PLAY
SCORES HIT
On Tuesday night the senior clas:.
of the Auburn High school presented
their annual play, "Husbands on Ap­proval",
to a small but appreciative
audience in Langdon Hall, the col-lege
chapel. Due to the inclement,
weather there was a very small crowd
present, but these few were given
a good treat by a company of well
trained amateur actors.
A novel way for the popular ghl
of today to select her husband was
introduced. From the applause re­ceived,
it made a hit with the audi­ence.
The prospective husbands are
invited to the home of the girls to
be nut on test, for four weeks. Of
course the men soon show thtir weak
points and as a result one of them
seems to have a monoply on the girl
for a short time. Complications set
in and he apparently loses out, but
in reality it only furthers the plot.
On the day of judgment each man
is given an opportunity to propose
to the one that he loves. One of the
fairer sex decides that she will remain
single, thus breaking up the scheme-
But does she remain true to her pro­mise?—
Most certainly not Mr. Shean
It develops that three of the men
have become engaged to other mem­bers
of the family, servants included.
Young sis, the mother, and the Irish
lovers, but still the other member
remains obstinate in her promise, well
she falls and indeed the fall was hard
thereof. A reconciliation is brought
about with her first lover and all ends
well and good, as the good fairy al­ways
has it. A feeling of suspense
prevails until the final act, as the
final outcome is never definitely
known.
Frances Moore as the popular and
young heiress was exceptionally well
suited to her part, with her over abun­dance
of feminine pulchritude. She
has keen competition by Bertha Du
Bose, who is especially attractive with
her compromising manner. The Wi­dowed
mother also proves that age
(Continued on Page 6)
Plans are going forward rapidly
for the old-time fiddlers convention
in the auditorium of the Lee County
High School at Auburn, Saturday,
April 3, beginning at 8:00 P.M. Prof.
J. M. Robinson will act as master of
ceremonies, and among the judges
will be Dr. Spright Dowell, Col. T.D.
Samford of Opelika, and Hon. Will
O. Walton of Lafayette. Two or
three more judges will be added to
the list.
Along with this fiddler's convent­ion
those who are experts with the
harp will be given an opportunity to
display their wares. Floyd Newman
of Tallassee, who has become well
known over the radio with his harp
is expected to attend. Emmett Size-more
will play one or two numbers,
and F. W. Gist has consented to give
a demonstration which will convince
the audience that he, too, is a master
<)f a harp. It is thought that other
"harpists" will be discovered before
the convention begins.
Prof. Parrish, principal of the High
School, has announced also that the
annual fashion walk of the High
school girls will take place in the same
auditorium at 7:30, which will be
thirty minutes before the fiddlers'
convention begins. Miss Jennie Mc
Intosh, teacher of home economics
will be in charge.

THOMAS J. BLAIN
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Word was recently received of the
death of Thomas J. Blain, at Algiers,
La., caused by an attack of heart
trouble. He died in the United
States Veterans Hospital there, and
was buried at the Salem Cemetery
near Chester, Miss. Mr. Blain made
a very honorable record during the
World War, enlisting at Jackson,
Miss., in 1917, and serving in the
navy. He was discharged from the
naval hospital at Hampton Roads,
Va., and entered the Miss. A. and
M. College, later entering Auburn
and pursuing the course in archi­tecture.
His average for last semes­ter
was 93, and his entire work at
Auburn has been characterized by
be mourned deeply by the Auburn
very high scholarship. His death will

SLICKER REGISTERS, BUYS
WARDROBE AND THEN SKIPS
One Mr. A. W. Lipscomb, alias
Alan Lipscomb is a wanted man in
Auburn. This gentleman came to
Auburn some two weeks ago without
a friend and today is well known in
business circles. And it all happen­ed
this way, so the story goes.
Mr. Lipscomb claimed to be from
Jacksonville, Florida, and more rec­ently
from Montgomery. He regis­tered
an irregular pharmacy course
and gave a check for the amount of
registration, taking his registration
cards he proceeded to a bank and de­posited
a check for some three hun­dred
dollars, however, it was a bogus
check, so to speak. And here is
where the complications set in.
Feeling a strong desire to replen­ish
his already too depleted ward­robe,
the villian repaired to a local
haberdashery and preceeded to pur­chase
some expensive raiment on the
strength of the registration cards and
deposit receipt. The entire sum de­posited
was the amount he succeed­ed
in fleecing various merchants out
of.
Professors have called Lipscomb,
A. W. on the roll in vain. For there
is no such party. The bearer of this
cognomen has skipped none the worse
for a day spent in the village. At
least he left with much more than it
takes some of us four years to dis­pose
of.
Appromimately 150 seniors of the
Engineering and Academic schools
will leave this week end on the an­nual
inspection trip through the
state. The program for the Engi­neers
has been worked out by Prof.
Hill of the Electrical school and the
program for General Students has
been arranged by Mr. Sevier, of Bir­mingham,
President of the Associated
Industries of Alabama.
The tour will be initiated Monday
with a trip to Mitchell Dam. The
party will leave Montgomery early
Monday morning and go to Verbena
by rail .thence to Mitchell Dam. They
will be the guests of the Alabama
Power Company at dinner on the
boat at Mitchell Dam. After inspect­ing
this project the party will go to
Lock 12. They will go on the train
from Clanton to Birmingham.
Tuesday morning the time will be
spent in going through steel indust­ries
at Ensley. Tuesday afternoon
will be spent in other industries in
the Birmingham district.
The Engineers will spend Wednes­day
visiting the Birmingham plants.
The General Business students will
be the guests of Jemison Reality and
Insurance Company during the morn­ing.
Speeches will be delivered cov­ering
the different phases of this
work here. The afternoon inspec­tion
will be of the Birmingham News
plant and Pizitiz's Department Store.
Thursday a tour of Moore Handley
Hardware Company will be made,
and the plants of Acipio will be visit­ed.
The Alabama Power Com­pany's
new office building will be
viaitexl an«* a tour of one of the Chur­ches
will be made. Friday they will
go through the Shannon Brokerage
firm and also the First National Bank.
The Engineers will inspect the Mus­cle
Shoals Project and also the Gor-gas
Steam Plant. A trip will be
made to those desiring, to the Uni­versity
Saturday.
The students will be accompanied
by Professors Hixon and Hill of the
Electrical Department and Dean Tay­lor
of the Academic Department.
Prof. Strong will probably join them
in Birmingham. The Civil Engineers
will be in charge of Prof. Callan.

COMMANDANT
EXPRESSES HIS
APPRECIATION
On Monday and Tuesday you made
an excellent showing in the annual
inspection of the War Department
to determine which colleges will be
designated, "Distinguished Colleges
for 1926." Your work in the class
room and on the drill field was very
good. The review was exceptionally
well executed; it was the best seen
in Auburn for years. Two points
that must have made a favorable im­pression
on the inspecting officers
were the perfect cadense of step in
the review and the sturdiness of the
men in ranks during the inspection.
It would not be possible for me to
name all the groups and individuals
who deserve especial credit for this
excellent showing. However, I wish
to state that, in my opinion, the men
who merit the highest praise are
those who have been present for
every class and drill since September
and therefore have contributed most
to the general efficiency of their
companies and batteries.
The result of the inspection will
not be known until all the colleges
selected for inspection have been vis­ited—
this will be about the first of
June. I trust that at that time we
will receive notification that Auburn
has been designated for the seventh
time as a Distinguished College.

Alabama Press Association will
hold its 1926 convention at Auburn,
June 2-4. Plans are being made at
present to entertain every editor of
every paper of the state during this
conference.
Executives of a meeting held in
Montgomery last Saturday agreed
that this year's association confer­ence
would be held in Auburn. An
invitation to the Association was ex
tended by officials of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute and was accept­ed
over several other invitations
from various parts of the state.
This will be the first conference
the Association has held in Auburn.
In 1922 the conference visited Au
burn as a side trip from the regular
convention which was in progress at
Montgomery.
The convention will convene dur­ing
the vacation between the regular
session and summer term of the col
lege. The regular sessions ends the
latter part of May and the summer
term begins June 7.
Press Association workers of Au­burn
express the hope that all edit
ors of Alabama attend the convi.i-tion.
They not only express thos-j
hopes, but they are making plans to
reach every one before June. Ar­rangements
for entertaining and
housing the representatives are go­ing
forward at this time.

ANNUAL JUNIOR
CLASS BANQUET
TO BE APRIL 10
The date of the annual Junior Ban­quet,
which was first on April 17,
has been moved up to Saturday, April
10. The trip of the Glee Club, which
is composed of several Juniors, ne­cessitated
this change in date. Not
only would the absence of the Glee
Club at that time deprive the. class
of a number of its members, but al­so
of the orchestra which has been
engaged to furnish the music for the
occasion.
The tickets have been placed on
sale and may be secured from any
of the following: Moreland Smith,
Alberta Proctor, Red Roberts, Abe
Robinson, Swede Mathisson, Red Pus-sell,
Forney Ingram, Luther McGraw,
Shorty Long and Seedie Lynne. The
price of these tickets is only one dol­lar
and twenty-five cents.
Every loyal Junior is urged to be
present, at the banquet on Saturday
night, April 10 at 7 o'clock sharp
at the Student's Club.
In addition to the election of of­ficers,
there will be several speech­es—
not too long, songs, an orchestra
and plenty to eat.
In order to arrange for the ban­quet
it was necessary to guarantee
the management of the Student's
Club one hundred and fifty plates.
It was also decided at the last class
meeting that ballots would be dis­tributed
ONLY at the banquet and
that there would positively be none
available up town before the ban­quet.
For any other information regard­ing
the banquet come to the C'BSS
Meeting next Tuesday from ten to
eleven o'clock in room 301 of the
Main Building.

TELEPHONE NUMBER 23S—W
I have before me a copy of last week's
Plainsman in which there appeared an ar­ticle
under the heading "Does the Campus
Give a Fair Chance to All?" I can agree
with the writer of this article in all that
he said, and in a great deal more than he
mentioned.
He mentioned the fact, in the latter
> part of his article that the honors were
not given to all who deserved them. I can
readily agree with him on that. There is,
in some instances, honors gjoing to those
. who do not really deserve them, while
those who are doing the work are getting
a back seat. If there is anything in the
aims of any Honor Organization, why is it
they do not stick to those few specifications
laid down to the average students as being
required of them before they are to get
any honors of any kind?
It has gotten to where there is no telling
whether the student who gets the hqnor
will.be the one who did the work or the
one who did nothing, but only had an in­fluential
friend in the honored group. Is
that any incentive to cause a student to try
to make an honored group? It is not, and
such practices as are carried on in some
instances, are of a very questionable char­acter.
They take the honor out of the
organization by so doing, and the spirit
of the purpose is killed. This isn't being
very democratic, is it? All who are
deserving of honor should be given the
honors, and most certainly not those who
only have a friend in the "charmed circle."
I say, "HONOR TO THOSE TO WHOM
HONOR IS DUE, AND NOT TO THOSE
WHO ARE NOT WORTHY OF THE
HONORS."
A Student
A CURSE IN COLLEGE EDUCATION
Dartmouth college, the history of which
dates back .to a grant as one of the nine
colonial colleges, has decided that it is
not doing enough to interest its alumni in
the work of the institution. On the theory
that the best time to give an alumnus »n
intelligent interest in his college is before
he becomes an alumnus, a course in college
education is being offered to upperclass-me
as an elective.
The course is planned to set forth the
present objectives of college education as
followed in other colleges as well as Dart­mouth,
with a glimpse of the development
of the past as a background. A more un-
.i. ^ ... m.,ie..intelligent i:a;tic pc.tion
by future alumni in the control and support
f their colleges are the results aimed at.
Dartmouth's success in teaching this
course may be well watched by other col­leges.
The plan of imparting a sort of
bird's-eye view of what other schools as'
well as one's own are striving toward, if
the students respond to it, will not ,be a-miss
in the present situation, wherein many
who receive their sheepskins would be hard
pressed to explain just what their own in­stitution
is aspiring to.—Washington Uni­versity
Daily. ,
COLLEGE ATHLETICS AND SCHOL­ARSHIP
Current statistics show an ever- increas­ing
enrollment of college students, with
educational endowment campaigns on foot
and ambitious architectural programs that
would have astonished everybody twenty-five
years ago. Meanwhile, the reasonable
balance between scholastic pursuits and
other student interests—among which ath­letics
comes first—seems to be asserting
itself most hopefully. As conspicuous in
front-page headlines as the passage of the
new tax bill at Washington has been the
announcement that the price of football
tickets for the major college games will
be advanced to five dollars! The addition­al
revenues are not to be used to promote
competitive athletics, but rather to support
plans for giving physical training of one
kind or another to all students.
Phi Beta Kappa will in December cele­brate
the 150th anniversary of its founding
at William and Mary College in 1776; and
the United Chapters of that society, devot­ed
to the promotion of scholarship, have
decided upon a'i campaign to pay the cost
of a memorial building on the William and
Mary campus, and also to provide a mod­est
endowment for the future efforts of
the society as a whole. The ideals of
college athletics and of Phi Beta Kappa are
no longer in contrast with each other.
Dartmouth in 1924 could have put on the
field a team picked from the Varsity and
second squads, each playing his regular
position, all members of Phi Beta Kappa.
There could be no finer exponent of the
new spirit than Dr. Francis W. Shepard-son,
himself a Senator of Phi Beta Kappa,
while also president of the Beta Theta Pi
fraternity and an ardent inter-fraternity
man. It is announced that he is to visit
many colleges, where he will stimulate the
fraternities to devote themselves to-high
standards of scholarship, while not aban­doning
their athletics.
Newspapers have been giving much space
to discussion of the spring sport schedules
of the colleges, with due notice that prac­tice
in baseball, track, rowing, lacrosse,
golf and tennis is well under way.
For example, a large delegation from
Harvard, representing track athletics, had
arranged to spend several weeks in early
practice at William and Mary College in
Virginia, thus taking advantage of the
early Southern springtime, while also en­joying
the special facilities that are pro­vided
in the new William and Mary gym­nasium
for visiting teams. It requires no
great stretch of imagination to percieve
that such exchange of visits between the
North and South may serve many desirable
objects besides those that pertain imme­diately
to athletic prowess.
Advance speculation as to the success of
the teams is rife, coupled with optimistic
prophecies largely based on the available
student material with which the coaches
have to work.
An exceedingly important factor inthese
pre-season calculations is an annual Feb­ruary
event throughout the land—the mid­year
examinations. By their machinations
college teams are made or destroyed. So
strict have academic requirements become
that "eligibility" for intercollegiate com­petition
is now adequate proof that the
eligible athlete is also an able scholar.
The "dumb athlete" exists no more; for,
under modern conditions, if his dumbness
is effectively demonstrated he ceases to
be recognized as an athlete.
Not long ago President John Grier Hib-ben
of Princeton University addressed sev­eral
hundred fathers of Princeton under­graduates
at a luncheon in New York. He
told of his institution's championship 1925
football team with pride -a pride not based
on the brawn of the victorious players but
on their academic prowess. If a univer­sity
with the stringent scholastic regula­tions
and eligibility rules of Princeton
could turn out such a team, each man
being necessarily a sucessful student, did
not this accumulation of genuine brain­power
contribute to the victory? And is
not such a victory an added incentive to
scholarship? These were President's Hib-ben's
challenging statements.
Such contentions are well founded, for
the competing athlete of today must have
a higher class-room standing than the non-athletic
student. A man may pass enough
of his academic work to stay in college
••• ..*. i. --• „K_:I.I„ f— (rtrlctrS'i u„i
t: fa t rj/ grade i: all
his subjects if he is to be allowed to par
ticij etc on any team. And many of the
Princeton football players had achieved
scholastic records not merely satisfactory
,ufr of marked distinction.
Princeton is named in this instance only
ty ical exsmple. The most con­spicuously
versatile athlete of recent years
was Malsolm Aldrich, of the Yale class of
1922. Aldrich was captain of football,
captain of baseball, and won a Phi Beta
Kappa key for his studious achievements.
He is the only man who ever captained
these two major sports in the history of
Yale, yet he found time to earn honors in
his class work of the highest kind.
High standards in the colleges are firmly
upheld by the prevalent examination sys­tem.
Syracuse University dropped 400
out of a freshman class of 2,000 probation­ers
last February. The ill-fated 400 in­cluded
leading athletes from the freshman
teams—future "varsity" material—and
several transfer athletes of known ability.
Lehigh dropped, among others, the present
inter-collegiate tennis . champion and the
captain-elect of next fall's football team.
At Princeton the stroke-oar and most ex­perienced
man on the crew was declared
ineligible because of poor standing.
Even in the more easy-going English
universities is this policy of "elevation of
athletics through scholarship" making
marked progress. Due to failure in the
February preliminary or "moderation" ex­aminations,
Cambridge University has
"sent down"—i. e., dropped—the captain
of the university golf team and two track
men of note. _ Oxford has followed suit
by dropping her most prominent golfing
"blue" or letter man. Thirs is a drastic
departure from English university preced­ent
for the Oxford and Cambridge Peda­gogues
have heretofore dealt leniently with
the academic failure of their athletes
By these elevated standards the Amer­ican
and English university authorities do
not seek to abolish or to curtail the sporting
aspirations and activities of the under­graduates.
The vast majority of college
heads and influential professors heartily
concur with President Hibben in his ration­al
views. Even President Lowell of Har­vard,
who provoked much comment last
fall by denouncing college athletes as
"doltish creatures," retracted to the ex­tent
of saying he had no ittention of inter­fering
with organized sports.
What prominent educators seek is a well-rounded
type of student—"a sound mind
in a sound body." Though they will no
longer tolerate the laziness and stupidity
that so often characterized athletes of the
past, they recognize the tremendous value
accruing from outdoor sports and inter­collegiate
contests. The primary object
of a college is to train minds. If this
as the prime requisite can be accomplished
successfully, then more power to athletics
with their attributes of teamwork, sports­manship,'
clestn living, an«l gooff health!
That this combination of brain and brawn
is succeeding has become manifest. -.

POLISHED PEDESTRIANS
Chicago's Hobo College has graduated
its first class, and universal education is
presumably a step nearer realization.
One hundred and fifty "students" com­pleted
all of a series of lectures, clinics,
musicals, and visits to art galleries. There
was a baccalaureate address by a professor
of Northwestern University, and a speech
by General Coxey of Coxey's Army fame.
And although there was no athletic season
to boast of there were plenty of official
songs which, it may be imagined, were ex­ecuted
with gusto. More than a thousand
self-styled hoboes were present at the grad­uation.
Hobo college was established by James
Eads Howe, "millionaire hobo" of Chicago.
It is unique institution with a purpose
which is commendable even if it tends to
put too much of a halo around the ancient
practice of collecting hand-outs as an aid
to world travel.
Perhaps the wording of the diploma in­dicates
that something worth while has been
accomplished; the graduates are sair to
have expressed a desire to better the con­dition
and to have pledged themselves to
lead clean lives. Now cleanliness has not
been the hobo's long-suit, and if Hobo Col­lege
has brought about a desire for normal
moral and physical immaculateness, it has
hot labored in vain. And if through lec­tures
and visits to musicals and art galler­ies
the men have widened their interests
from the rattle of the rods and the chorus
of the cattle train to the better-organized
cadences of Chopin, the day of miracles
is not yet past. Maybe a painted land­scape
will take the place of a real one and
Wandering Willie shall become contented
and industrious William. At least it is
hoped that hobo graduates do not simply
improve, on old methods, and knock at the
front door instead of the back one.

The Charleston began when a farmer
armed with a two-pronged pitch-fork and
a hound dog with sharp teeth and a nasty
disposition, caught a worthless colored man
in the chicken run. The farmer jabbed
the gentleman of color with his pitchfork
and that brought into being the first step
of the Charleston. Then the dog attaches
itself to the seat of the thief's pants mak­ing,
movement number two. The dance
steps alternate from that point on with
successive jabs from the pitchfork and bites
by the dog ending in a grand climax as the
colored boy cleared a six-foot stone wall
in a frenzied leap. —Orange and Blue.

The national anthem for this week will

One of the first things a Freshman

What is wrong with the applause that
the College Orchestra has been getting

are not as many freshmen making the

Most of the year one of the hardest
things to do on this campus is to round
up enough members to have the various
class meetings. Not so this time of the
year though. All one has to do is to post
"class meeting today" on one of the win­dows
and you immediately have to look
for some large place to gather. With all
the class elections, banquets and dances
one does not wish to be left standing hold­ing
the sack and the consequence is they
all turn out for class meetings to see what
it is all about.
A practical joke as pulled by the Junior
Civil class is to catch one of the unsuspect­ing
members of their class, (or they don't
draw very severe lines between their class
and other Juniors), and by brute force
sever him from the most important part
of his clothing. The latest victim is Jelly

I saw him trying to rescue his troi.

Some of the Juniors have so many pledge
ribbons, such as Eta Kappu Nu, Tau Beta

so good and latching on to so many things.

The Weather
As an observing creature said the othe
day, "Spring has came and went" Bu
then the weather is a very fickle thing a
probably by the time that this goes to pre
it will be fair and warmer. But not so
now. In fact this last cold spell has hit
many. It seems that though most everyr
one has let their coal supply run out in the
hopes that spring had really come, but they
were sadly mistaken. No doubt the coal
dealers did a rushing business.

We are getting more or less use to the
radio station these days. It is on the air
more or less regularly, and as it is so near
there is not the usual gripe as to fading
and static. The programs have been good,
and the music excellent.
But speaking of radio, have you heard
a distant station and wondered what people
running it were like. It is facinating to
hear a voice come from out of the air and
realize that a human being is at the other
end of that voice. For that reason you
might like to know a little more about the
jersonelle of the Radio station.
Of course the authority for the running
of the station comes from the faculty, but
the actual operation is by the students.
J. M. (Shiek) Wilder, is the chief engineer
as it were. It is largely through his ef­forts
that the station is the fine station
that it is. Shiek rarely leaves his pet, al­though
he does take occasional trips to
Birmingham. We suppose that he goes to
see more radios.
However most evenings when you hear C
the station in operation it is generally
Little Bull Dunstan that is twisting the
dials or Goofy Fisk. Both these young
men are adept at this sort of entertainment
and so far we have not been able to find
out as to whether they have company when
they are in the radio shack. We hope to
be able to report favorably in a few days.
As the famous newspapers put it, The po­lice
expect to make arrests immediately'.
When you call up to request the orches­tra
play "I Love You" and dedicate it tc
Miss A. L. Mine, it is generally the dash­ing
Mr. Young that answers the phone.
His suave replies have set many a bashful
heart to beating normally. Evidently he
Joes not suspect that you are in love with
the lady. Evidently not. However Mr.
Bill Young has somewhat of a difficult
job. His is the work of sorting the wheat
from the chaff. In other words he has
to recognize the real requests and not send
in any of ficitious nature.
Through an unfortunate attack of ap­pendicitis
Mr. Tillman is now in the hospi­tal
in Montgomery. His regular job is va­ried
in the extreme. Handy man is hardly
an appropriate term but the things that he
does and does well amount to the same
thing. Generally however he used to shut
off the mike when the time was ripe.
There is a story going around the campus
of how he forgot to shut off the mike one
time when he was explaining the opera­tion
of a set to his girl. Maybe, Maybe.
Finally we come to the announcers.—
"Ikey" Douglas, and W.C.W. or Bill Wall.
"Ikey" happens to be a professor under
whom the writer of this article has a course
so we expect that the least that is said is
the better. However he has a very pleas­ing
personality and makes a hit with the
ladies. In fact it is reported that many
of the fan letters that come into the station
are of a strictly personal nature and that
the stenographer there is well bribed to
keep the secret to herself.
Why this is we cannot say. We take
it for granted that all of you have heard
Mr. Douglas in operation, and can appre-^
ciate the many difficulties that beset the
life of an announcer. For instance roll
this off your tongue as though you were
used to it; Rachminoofs Perlogatto in Di-muendo
Terratazzi. Surely the most ex­asperating
thing of all though is when the
artists refuse to be artistic, and insist on
discussing all things in general between
each selection. We hope that the mike
won't be cut on too soon and allow you to
hear the announcers remarks.
Finally we come to W.C.W.himself.Bill
Wall or Radio Bill as his monniker goes.
The perfect picture of sweet innocence.
Recklessly throwing requests right and left
with a sang froid that would surprize a
modern flapper. However the cake was
won the other night when he dedicated "Yes
Sir That's My BaUy" to Woman's College.
We hope that none of the girls recognize
him. But after all the slogans "Way Dow-wwnn
in Alabama", and Good-night, Good
right; Good-night-Smack" are original and
the fair Bill deserves credit for them. Our
only hope is that some sweet girl, or rath­er
girls, that he is reported to be in love
.with don't use that last slogan too realisti-.
3ally . It is all right for Bill to come to
his home with rouge all over him but a
black eye would be too much.—Wouldn't
it Shiek Bill.—

GOODPROGRAM
The S.A.M.E. enjoyed ' a well, at­tended
and .interesting meeting last
Monday night.
The program consisted of two talks
by Mr. W. C. Reagan and Mr. R. C.
Williams. Mr Reagan, in his talk on
"The Influence of Bridges on Cam­paigns,"
discussed the campaigns of
Alexander the Great and Hannibal.
He traced Alexander's conquest thru
Egypt and the Asiatic countries show­ing
that his victories were made pos­sible
by his efficient bridge engineers.
In conquering the city of Tyre, sit­uated
on an island, Alexander built
a bridge two hundred feet wide and
one half a mile long that still stands
today. An entire forest and city was
demolished to furnish mateiral for
this bridge. Mr. Regan also brought
out the interesting point that Alexan­der
was the first general in history to
make use of the pontoon bridge,
and also the first to use the protec­tion
of an artillery bombardment in
building a bridge.
It was also shown that Hannibal's
campaign in Italy depended'largely on
his ability to build bridges. The
bridge he built across the Rhone was
of particular interest. It was a raft
bridge and had to be covered with
dirt, giving it the appearance of sur­rounding
ground, to keep from fright­ing
the elephants in the baggage
train. Two or three of the elephants
however, upset one of the rafts and
although the water was over the ele­phants
heads, they were able to walk
to safety by holding their trunks a-bove
the water. To furtther em­phasize
the importance of bridges in
military campaigns, Mr. Regan relat­ed
the fact that Hannibal finally "was
defeated because he was unable to
build his bridges fast enough.

open meeting at the Y hut Sunday
Mildred Cheshire, chairman of the
World's Fellowship committee had
charge of the program. The prog:
ram was divided into two parts,-
Foreign problems and Missions.
The meeting was opened by singing
"Throw put the Life-line."
Miss Lester told of the Japanese
and Chinese problems in California.
She told us that the greatest was edu­cation.
These people are anxious
for education and will do anything
they can to promote the work. In
the recent erection of a church and
school building which cost $100,000,
these Japanese and Chinese raised
$65,000.
The Jewish problem was discussed
by Allie Hughes. She emphasied
the fact that we do not learn the good

bad.
Lucille Totty rendered a vocal solo.
Lottie Story told us of the Mexican
problems. Their problem being,
hinderances to our foreign friends.
Catherine Nunn summarized the
meaning of all which was, missions.
She told what part Y.W.C.A. could
play. The idea of missions brought
out in her talk was comradeship and
partnership. She also told of the
qualifications that were necessary for
a missionary to become effective.
"To save a life is to give a life."

In this connection he pointed this out
as a phenomen of the present day,
when people, widely scattered throu-ght
the United States have invest­ments
in corporations. He also out­lined

of the talk given by R. O. Lyle at

In his talk he told how the engineers
aid in supplying water, lights, trans­portation
and many other necessities
which go to make a good city. He
also brought out the fact that the
engineer does not hold the place in
the social life of the community that
he should and that it is up to the en­gineer
to bring this about.
Another very interesting talk was
given by Mr. Hancock on the device
invented for submarine life saving
which was used, to some extent during
the war by the Germans.
By the consent of the other engi

MAJOR SMITH
MAKES TALK TO
UPPERCLASSMEN
Major Smith, of Auburn, very ably
filled the place of Dr. William A.
i
Sutton, Superintendent of Public
Schools, Atlanta, Georgia, who was
supposed to speak, but was unavoid­ably
detained by bad roads and car
treuble.
I Major Smith opened his speech
with words of praise for our baseball
team, and he predicted a bright fu­ture
for Auburn in athletics for the
next year.
The Majgr said America must stay
in a state of preparedness, especially
in view of the chaotic conditions
both in Europe and in the Orient.
To do this a National Defence Act
was passed by Congress, the main
points of which are: (1) to have a
standing army, the size of which is
fixed by Congress; (2) to have a
National Guard, with regular drill
periods and annual encampments; (3)
to have an organized reserve army
to consist of graduates of R.O.T.C.
schools and officers of the war who
are not too old; (4)and the most im­portant
is the C.M.T.C, which en­hances
the idea of giving one months
training to young men each year for
four years. This will provide ele­mentary
training to thousands of
young men, so that should an emer­gency
arise, they will be better pre­pared
and have a decided advantage
both in camp and on the field over
those who have had no military train­ing
at all.
"The Monroe Doctrine, for more
than a century has safeguarded the
American republics, a fixed law in
the American mind. The late Sec­retary
of State, J. J. Hay, laid down
the 'Open Door' doctrine in China,
this doctrine preserved the territorial
integrity of China and also gave
America equal trade opportunity in
the far east. In a few decades, the
'Open Door' doctrine will be as much
a fixture in American policy as the
Monroe Doctrine is and has been."
In closing, Major Smith congrat­ulated
Auburn on having one of the
best R.O.T.C. units in the U. S.
EVANS SOCIETY
HOLDS MEETING
The Evans met last Monday night
in room 302 Main Building.
After the usual Bible reading, and
the business session, a very good pro­gram
was rendered.
The Francis Brothers, Mr. A. W.
Jones, and Mr. Vines rendered two
quartettes. They were enjoyed by
all the members there.
The Evans representatives in the
coming Oratorical Contest, gave his
Oration, and it was a real good one,
and the speaker, Mr. Stretch, deserves
a lot of praise for the untiring efforts
that he has put forth on this oration.
The stunt given by the Evans, at
the Social Welfare Banquet last week
was the next number on the program.
Mr. Croft gave a talk on the situa­tion
and conditions of the people of
Alaska, and told us what the U. S.
was going to have to do in order that
these might be remedied.
The Critic, and the S'g't at Arms
gave real good talks and the society
was adjourned.

Page 4 THE PLAINSMAN
SPORTS -Tigers Add Two Making Seventh Straight § S P O R T S
RODENTS PLA Y JUNIOR JACKETS
HERE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
The Rats will play the third game
of the season and their first ones on
the home lot, when they hook up with
the Tech Yellow Jackets of the junior
variety on Thursday and Friday after­noons.
' These games complete! a
rather hefty menu for the Auburnites
during the week. The Varsity -crew
will have use of the 'diamond for the
first three days when they meet
Michigan and Clemson.
The Rats have been handicapped to
a great extent for the past couple
of weeks due to the lack of an ade­quate
playing field, and also due to
the lack of opposition. In seasons
'gone by the Rodents have been able
to practice on the regular lot while
the big boys were defending the
school against other cohorts of the
diamond. This time, however, while
their older brothers were invading
foreign terra firma, the weather has
prevented the Preshies from working
out.
The Brownies lost a couple of
games to. Marion last week, the first
Cadet battle being the first nine
inning affair that the rats engaged
in since they lost a game to the Es-kimoes
a couple of weeks ago. Before
a team goes in the field for its first
game it should have played several
practice games at least, and the lack
of such practice work has hurt the
squad.
Last year the Rats met the Varsity
outfit quite often, and several times
had the honor of administering a
drubbing to their elders.
The Rats this spring have a good
aggregation, though taken all in all,
they cannot take rank with last year's
bunch. The men who seem to be
standing out among their mates are
Wattwood, Smith and McGhee. Watt-wood,
who is a product of Alexander
City, has been going nicely around
the initial sack and at the plate.
Coach Brown opines that in the
person of McGhee, he has a twirler
who posesses as much stuff on the
I ** "mound as any man in the Village.
McGhee, like all good twirlers,
has his faults. The Macon twirler
can't field his position properly and
ste'ps all over the sphere. In the
Marion game but three hits were
registered off his slants in six innings,
though the Tigers lost, 8 to 2. Beard,
who finished the game did not give
up a hit. McGhee received credit
for the loss, because his mates heaved
them all over the diamond instead of
in the proper direction.
Smith, a cotton topped infielder
from Vernon, appears to be about the
best of the harvest of infielders.
Smith galavants all over the diamond,
can get the ball from almost any
angle, and appears to be a good pris-pect
for a varsity berth next year.
Smith has ,been transferred from
short to the keystone.
Other infielders are Pete Booth and
"App" Appleton. Booth who calls
Columbus his home, has been Cavort-ing
around the keystone, but will pro­bably
be -shifted elsewhere to make
room.for Smith Appleton, who has
been dubbed "Everett Scott", because
of his resemblance to the former
Yankee-Senator shortstopper, has
been doing nicely and will probably
land a regular berth.
Just who will make up the trio for
the outergardens is a problem which
still confronts the sorrel-thatched
mentor. The more imposing com­petitors
are Simpkins, Red Cannon,
McCrory and Currie. The first three
named roamed the pastures in the
Marion tilts. Currie was stationed
at the hot corner, but has been trans­planted
to the outfield. Currie ap­pears
to be one of the best swatsmiths
of the outfit,the Tiger frosh having
hit safely four straight times last
week.
McGhee, Strong and "Beard, are
the only Tigers who have been under
fire in the box. Strong hurled the
final ball in the Marion series. He
possesses a wicked fast ball buts lacks
control. Lawley, on the receiving
end, "allowed several balls to get away
from him thereby helping to chuck
the game away. Strong had to ease
up due to his wildness, to get his of­ferings
over the platter, and when he
did, they swatted them;
Literary Societies
Stage a Basket
Ball tournament
It has been the custom in Auburn
during the last few years, for the sev­eral
Fraternities on the campus to
meet each year in a basketball tour­nament.
This idea has spread to the
literary societies on the campus. Last
year the four societies met in a tour­nament
which proved quite success­ful.
There was a strong team enter­ed
in the contests from each society.
The "Rat" (now the Evans) society
won the meet.
v
On last Tuesday night, the second
annual tournament' was started. The
Wilsonians were defeated by the
Websterian team, by the score of 17
to 3. The game was much more
closely contested than the score would
indicate. Two 15 minute halves were
played. It was only due to the su­perior
passing of the Websterians,
that they were able to down the fast
outfit from the Wilsonian. The game
was fast and furious from the open­ing
whistle to the last play. One
commendable thing in the game was
the fact that it was a clean game,
there being only two or three fouls
called during its entire course.
For the Websterians, Bill Stoves,
at center played a good game, and
Crawley at forward did some real
nice. work. He demonstrated to the
(crowd of Spectators that he had some
real ability in the cage game. Other
members of the team were: Lynne,
forward; Frank, Lester, and Butler,
I guards.
For the Wilsonians, Thomas, a
Iguard, garnered the only field goal
[during the game. The other members

Buck Spinks Leads
Civils Victoriously
Against Sec.-Eds
Led by Buck Spinks and Bill Moore
the Civils defeated the combined Sec­ondary
Eds-General Business teams
by a score of 22-16 last Tuesday nite.
After trailing at the end of the half
by a score of 13-11 score, the Galley
Slaves ran amuck in the second sem­ester
and came out victors.
By virtue of the victory the C.E's
will go into the finals, having won by
forfeit over the Chemicals last Fri­day.
Their opponents in the finals
will be the winner of the Elec-Ag
game. Should the Elecs win the
championship game will be the more
or less of a family affair among the
inmates of Ramsey Hall, but should
the Elecs lose the semi-finals, The
Civils will take the role of Defenders
of the Faith against the inroads of the
Plow-Hands.
It is probable that the victorious
line-up of Tuesday night will enter
the final game. In winning the semi­final
game, the Knights of the Tran­sit
lined up as follows: Moore and
Crawley, forwards; Spinks, center;
Wood and Turner, guards. The de­feated
defendants of the "crip" cour­ses
lined up with Pruitt and Newsome
at forwards; Pooley, center, and
Market and Honneycutt at guards.
of the team were: Boiling, center;
G. Salter, E. Salter and Earnest, for­wards;
and Parker guard.
The other game did not materialize,
as* the Wirts forfeited to the Evans.
The Evans bide fair to cop the hon­ors
again this year, in the game be­tween
them and the Websterians
Friday night.
/'DOG FACE" SHERIDAN
The beautiful countenance on dis­play
above, if you have not aleady
guessed before, is that of Mr. Fred­erick
Leslie Sheridan. In all probo-bility
you are not vfamiliar with the
other two appellations for the favorite
nick name which the Bessemer pro­duct
enjoys is that of "Dog Face."
In truning back Loyola Wednesday,
the Tiger twirler won his second game
of the season;
Sheridan is primarily a base ball
player, though he has worked with
the pigskin squad for the past four
years, he has never qualified for a
letter as a member or the grid corps.
"Dog Face" came to Auburn in the
fall of 1921, and has been a member
of the baseball teams since the spring
of 1922. He has been one of the
most reliable members of the Bengal
mound corps for the past four years
with one exception, when he was out
for practically a whole season with
a sore wing. Sheridan has been dub­bed
the Walter Johnson of the slab
corps. , •
The Bessemer product ranked with
the top notchers during the season
of 1923 when he won more than his
quota of the contest. The following
spring however, Sheridan was out of
the game during the greater portion
of the campaign when soreness dev­eloped
in his arm. Dog Face start­ed
one game that year, being driven
from the mound in his start by the
Howard Bulldogs.
Last season, however, DogFace
came back into his own and enjoyed
aa good season in' spite of the fact
that he had a weak aggregation 'be­hind
him.
Dui'ing the present season, which is
his last, Sheridan should do his best
work. So far he has worked in but
three games, winning one and losing
none. The victory came over the an­cient
enemy, The Georgia Bulldogs.
Sheridan received his A. B. degree
in Mechanical Engineering last year
and is now post graduating.
Tigers Claw Loyola
For Second Time
Akin Leads Attack as Plainsmen Win
Seventh Straight
Moreymen Nose
Out Loyola 6 to 5
The men of Morey copped the first
tilt on the present road, excursion,
Wednesday afternoon, 6 to 5, when
the Wolves were unable to overcome
a single run lead gained in the sixth
frams.
The Tigers opened up on Bob
Dunbar, Loyola hurler, in the third
inning and unloaded a quartette of
tallies, thereby wiping out a two run
lead gained by the Wolves when
Sheridan weakened temporarilly in
the second.
Loyola had a chance to knot the
count in the final stanza, but poor
work on the paths deprived them of
the necessary tally.
Both Hughes and Dunbar had two
bad innings, Hughes loosening up in
the second and fifth, while the Tigers
made their quota off Dunbar in the
third and sixth.
The Tigers were out-willowed by
the New Orleans outfit, gleaning but
nine blows off of Dunbar, while
eleven of Sheridan's slants caromed
off the ash of the opposition.
Ebb James maintained his leader­ship
among the swatsmiths, the young
receiver and Walt Hitchcock doing
the best stickwork for the Bengals.
Score by innings:
Auburn 004 002 000—6 2 3
Loyola - . . . - 020 021 000—5 11 2
Batteries: Hughes and E. James;
Dunbar and Mitchell.
The Plainsman winning streak was
extended to seven games Thursday at
New Orleans, when the Bengal crew
pounded the offerings of a couple of
Loyola moundsmen to all corners of
the lot, winning the second game of
the series, 13 to 2.
The Tigers tucked the contest
away in the first inning when they
found Rogers for three runs. One
more came over in the third, four in
the sixth, three in the eighth and
a duo in the final stanza. Rogers
and Nobile were thumped for a total
of 21 hits, and the Jungaleers always
had a commanding lead.
While the Moreymen were getting
their quota of the base hits, Hard-wick
and Potter had the situation
well in hand from the other end of
the line. Hardwick was taken out
after his mates had gained a sub­stantial
lead, and Potter finished the
game. Five hits were made off
Hardwick during the time he labored,
while Potter gave up but one bingle.
Akin was- the clouting star of the
game, the Tiger left gardener getting
four hits out of six trips to the
platter.
Score by innings:

Griffin Sent to
Sally Loop by the
B'ham. Barons
We note with interest that Red
Griffin erst Baron has been trans­ferred
to the Spartanburg club of the
South Atlantic League. Red, who
was captain of the Tiger diamondeers
last year was not quite ripe for Class
A circuit, especially with Doug Baird
also hankering for a job at the key­stone
at the 'Wood.
Red should more easily fit into
the scheme of things as a member of
the Spartan Clan, under the tutor­ship-
of Mike Kelly .
Griffin was/ slated to go #oner
than he did but Johnny Dobbs could
not see his way to dispose of the sor­rel
top when he was lamasting the
pill to all corners of the lot in the ex-i
hibition contests. In a recent game
at Tuscaloosa, Red, made his bow
before 'the Crimson fans by fmack-ing
one for the circuit, the agate
going well over the right wall.
Hi—iBIii fc^jj
"PEA GREENE
Just above may be seen Mr. Carson
Edmo'n Greene, who is rounding out
his last year as a member of Auburn
athletic teams. And, judging from
the record already jotted of the foot­ball
ledger, and his prospects on the
cinder path this spring, his last year
in the Fairest Village ought to prove
his best.
Pea ranked second highest in tal­lying
points for Coach HutselPs track
squad last year, the tall Tiger chim­ing
in with a total of 69 markers
for his share.
Green first came to Auburn in the
of 1922, and starred as a member
of the Tiger freshman football team,
but did not venture out on the cin­der
path. The Bellville product first
came out for track in his sophomore
year. However, he lacked the de­velopment
that goes with training,
and did not qualify for a numeral
in his first year, though Pea did
score in several meets.
Green, after spending his first
year in getting experience, stepped
forth into the spotlight last spring,
when he blossomed into one of the
most dependable men working under
Hutsell.
The outstanding performance of
the gangy gentleman was in the cen­tury.
Green negotiated this distance
in 9 and 4-5, breaking the Auburn
record and equaling the southern con­ference
record. Only those who
claimed that distinction were Locke,
of Nebraska, Hubbard of University'
of Michigan, and Alderman of Michi­gan
Aggies. This trio made it in
9 and 3-5, which is but one-fifth of
a second facter than our Mr. Greene.
Green had the honor of smashing
the Auburn record for the broad
jump in the Tulane meet, last spring,
when he traveled over 21 feet, 6 and
3-5 inches of terra firma.
Green also ran the 220, his. best
time in this being 22 and 7-10.
"Pea" is being worked this year
in the high and low hurdles and in
the broad jump, this being his first
venture in the hurdles.
Not only is the amiable gentleman
proficient on the cinder path, but
he has dpne real will in the pigskin
arena, thank you. In all of the im­portant
games played in the past

Unusually cold weather for this
time of the year has been hampering
the Tiger cinder artists, as they work
out on Drake field in preparation for
the first of the season's activities,
the Tech Relays, on tap for April 10.
The Tiger tracksters, who haven't
lost a dual meet in four years no
longer appear to bo a dual meet ag
gregation. With vacancies left from
last year' in the 220, half mile, jave­lin,
and pole vault, and with -no ex­perienced
men presenting themselves
to fill the gaps, the Bengals will have
a hard road to travel if they keep
dual meet record unblemished. The
real opportunities will propably come
in the larger meets.
Cliff Morrow, who negotiates the
mile and the two mile, has been giv­en
strict orders not to run this year.
Morrow has an injured side and the
absence of the diminuitive long dis­tance
man will cut the list of last
year's letter men to four who are
now on duty.
The men who are practical*! cer­tain
to represent the Orange and
Blue in the Tech Relays are "Nurmi"
Nelson, "Pea" Greene, and "Speedy"
Snyder. The alternates will be Louie
Tamplin,' Howell Broughton, and
Weemie Baskin. Other men whos
will make the trip are not yet known.
Following the affair at Tech, the
Jungaleers have their first dual meet
of the season when they take on the
Yellow Jackets in Auburn.
It is planned that, if the Hutsellites
show up well, Auburn will enter the
Penn Relays held in Philadelphia,
April 24. Baskin will accompany the
squad to Philly as a special event
man.
In the first meet of dual nature
Nelson and Snyder are slated to han­dle
the century and 220.' Tamplin
will be one of the 440 runners, the
other being unknown at present.
Belcher is certain to be one of the
half milers. "Shorty" Morrow and
Lynn Dawsey will probably be given
the mile and 2-mile assignments.
"Pea" Greene, who is taking his
first fling at the hurdles, will proba­bly
do the hurdling along with Wee­mie
Baskin. The shot put will be
taken care of by "Ounce" Lovelace
and Baskin, while Baskin and Sten
nett will chunk the discus. George
Stoves and "Buck" Spinks are com­peting
for the place left vacant by
"Hot Shot" White in the Javelin
tossing department.
Hutsell has quite an able corps of
broad jumpers in Nelson, Green, and
Snyder. Green is the most exper
ienced of the lot. The tall Tiger
shattered the Auburn record last
year, when he hurled his form over
21 feet and 6 3-5 inches of terra
firma against Tulane.
The high jump will be taken care
of by Baskin, Phipps, and Upshaw.
The graduation of Bobby Locke, one
of the best pole vaulters in the south
left a big gap in that department.
Marquis, another vaulter is also gone,
and Hutsell has been having a hard
time of it in developing capable men
to replace these two. Meadors and
Creel nave been making the best
showing to date.
three years one of the halves has been
occupied by one Mr. Greene. "Pea"
has also come in for quite a bit of
the toe work, especially during the
past season. It was Green who car­ried
the ball over the goal line to'
bring the tying touchdpwn in the
Tech game.
The Porter Loving Cup, which is
given annually to the best all-around
athlete on the campus was presented
last year to Mr. Carson Edmon
Greene of Bellwood. He is a mem­ber
of the Tau Kappa Phi fraternity
and is taking the General Course,
being in his fourth year.
Rats Drop Couple
To Marion Cadets
Coach Brown's Freshmen moved
over to Marion last week and dropped
their first two games of the season
to Coach Jess Burbage's outfit, losing
the first 8 to 2, the second going on
the wrong aide of the ledger by a
10 to 4 count.
Errors proved costly to the frosh
in both of the affair?, the Brownies
getting fully half a dozen in the ini­tial
contest and coming along with
only one less in the second. The
Rodents outhit the Marionites in the
first games, '10 to 6 but didn't fare
as well in the second, the Cadets
touching Strong for 14 while his
mates could ring up but 8.
McGhee started the first game but
went to the showers at the conclu­sion
of the sixth frame, being relieved
by Beard. Strong served them up
for the whole route in the concluding
affair.
- Two of the half dozen runs chalked
up against McGhee were of the earn­ed
variety. Marion drew first blood
in the series in the second inning of •
the first game when Leverett went
to second on Booth's wild throw,
went to third on Lawley's error and
rode in on a fielder's choice.
Two runs were pushed over in the
fourth when, wfth Smith on base,
Wattwood hit the longest ball ever
swatted on the Marion terra firma.
The Tiger first sacker lifted one high
jver Woodpin's head in deep center
.'or the round trip.
In the second game the Tigers
continued to throw the pill every­where
except in the proper direction,
and tacked up a total of five miscues.
Out of the ten runs made by the Ca­dets,
only five of those that crossed
the plate were earned.
Currie, who didn't get a chance
to show in the game, started off
well in the final setto by getting safe
wallops in his first four times up.
The little freshman torrid corner ar­tist
got four hits, which was half of
the amount made by the squad.
Wattwood bagged two hits in four
trips to the platter. The portsided
initial sacker lived up to the swatting
reputation gained in the first game
by poling another for the circuit inl
the ninth inning. No one was onl
base at the time. Henderson was the I
batting star for the Cadets with four I
hits in five times up.

AUBURN MEETS
B'HAM. SOU IN A
DEBATE THURS.
The second Inter-Collegiate Debate
to be staged here this semester will
take place in Langdon Hall at Con­vocation
on Thursday, April 18, when
the Local debaters meet the team
from the Hilltops of the Magic City.
The question for discussion is, Re­solved:
That the Federal Govern­ment
should promote the further de­velopment
of the state and local
systems through the establishment of
a national Department of Education
with a Secretary in the President's
Cabinet.
As this debate will be held at con­vocation
it is necessary that quiet
prevails in the audience in order that
the speakers will have a fair chance
to present their material.
It is acknowledged that it will be
rather trying for the upper classmen
to sit through a contest of this kind
that may hold no interest for them,
but, at the same time, they should
bear in mind that it is more trying
on the speakers' themselves.
It has been suggested that the Sat­urday
Evening Post be placed on sale
the afternoon before so that ample
opportunity to read them may be
given to all. Another solution that
has been advanced conceives the plan
of holding up the sale until afternoon
on Thursday, its proponents claiming
that Dean Petrie's Current Events
Class is a much more pleasant and
desirable reading hour.
This debatev offers an excellent op­portunity
for practising the Golden
Rule. It may be put into action by
the simple expedient of refraining to
send the customary Rat to occupy
your pew.
For the benefit of those Sophs-and
Juniors who have never had the
occasion to remember the number of
the respective seats in Langdon Hall
excepting the Picture Show, the list
containing these numbers may be
viewed in the Commandant's Office.
No questions asked.
STUDENTS ARE
URGED TO ENTER
PLANT CONTEST
The freshman had just put his last
last nickle in the pay-station teleph­one.
Central: Number, please.
Freshman: Number, hell; I want
that chewing gum that I just dropped
my last nickle in for.
Students who have lived all their
lives among flowers are going wild
over the flowers of Auburn. This
/s a practice which occurs every year,
but there is something this year which
makes it more egotistic than ever be­fore.
Six years ago Comer Hall crumb­led
to ashes, at which time the her­barium
was completely destroyed. Up
to date, the herbarium has not been
replaced to a standard which the of­ficials
desire. This year the botany
instructor has agreed to give the
member of the class who makes the
best collection and classification ihat
is placed in the herbarium an average
of one hundred percent in his course
in plant classification.
Any member of the class who pre­pares
a plant and wishes it to be
placed in the herbarium may do so.
The plant will be kept there for fut­ure
use. The label which the class
member prepares in his own hand­writing
will stay on the plane. The
classification has just begun, but sev­eral
members of the class hnve ex­pressed
the hope of preparing at least
a few plants to be placed in the her­barium.
Some of the members are
entering the contest for the one hun­dred
percent mark at the end of the
year. •

Easter programs will be held in
town on Sunday. There is to be a
special song service at the Presbyter­ian
church on Sunday afternoon at

church of Opelika and the Pres­byterian
church here will give these
Easter song praises.
A union meeting of all the churches
in town will be held at Langdon Hall
Sunday night. This meeting will be
a song service in which there is to be
given a cantata, "The Triumphant".
The choirs of the various churches
are cooperating in putting on this
great event. Every body is cordial­ly
invited to attend these services.

FOOL-PROOF PROTECTION
'"COOL-PROOF PROTECTION " is n o t merely an idle
.["statement—it is an important Cutter fact. Cutter Engi­neers
designed U-Re-Lite to give just such protection to
lighting and power circuits and electrical equipment by
opening the circuit i n t h e event of overloads or short cir­cuits.
U-Re-Lite does what fused switches and overload re­lays
are supposed to d o , but it does it w i t h o u t any expense.
It is fool-proof because it cannot b e tampered with, once
it is set and its protecting case is locked by the man in
charge. Y o u can't defeat its purpose by even holding the
handle against an overload or short circuit. T h e switch
members trip o u t just the same, and your valuable motors
and other equipment are permanently safe. N o fuses are
necessary i n t h e circuit. *
A simple twist of the handle O N THE F R O N T of the
box resets U-Re-Lite after it has been tripped open. U-RE-LITE
Is The "I-T-E Circuit Breaker in the Steel Box." Thitty-six years of
wide electrical experience has been built into U-Re-Lite. It can't go
wrong because it's CUTTER-made.
U-Re-Lite prevents loss of time and money due to blown-out fuses
and it keeps production losses down to a minimum. It eliminates all
fuses and renewal parts and lasts a lifetime with.no upkeep cost.

NEW KIND OF
CONTEST HELD
IN ALABAMA
Mrs, Lida Jones and Miss Certic
Reynolds directed club girls in putting
on the first county nutrition contest
in Alabama. As the result of the
contest, held in Tuskegee on March
26, Jewel Baker of the Jackson Club
and Annie Wisener will attend the
Auburn short course offered for the
girls in June.
Mrs. Jones started the work last
September and has worked ivitn it
ever since that time. She and Miss
Reynolds with 109 of the 143 club
girls, were present at the contest.
Each club of the county was rep­resented
by two girls who gave re­ports
and demonstrations. One oi
the girls gave a demonstration on
food preparation and the other gave
a report of the achievements of her
club. The clubs were judged on
health records, demonstrations and
reports. Jackson and Franklin clubs
tied for first place in the contest.
Annie Wiserer, of the Franklin
club, gave the best health report.
The best demonstration of food prep­aration
was given by Jewel Baker
of the Jackson club. These two girls
will be given a trip to Auburn short
course in June.
SOCIAL WILL BE
GIVEN MEMBERS
OF BIBLE CLASS
Friday night, April 2, at 8:30
the Christian Sunday School Workers
will give the members of the Church
of Christ and their friends a social
at Mrs. P. O. Davis' home on the Op­elika
road, opposite the high school
campus. This social is for the pur­pose
of getting the boys and girls to­gether
and learning each other, not
by face only, but by name.
Members of the Christian Church
organized a Bible class about two
months ago, which meets in the Mas-ic
Hall each Sunday morning at
9:45. It is the success of the class
which has brought about the social
of tonight.
Every member of the Christian
Church are expected to be there with
your friends. Boys get a girl and be
at the social at 8:30 Friday night.

H. KAVANAUGH
On Monday morning March 29,
Professor W. H. Kavanaugh, of the
University of Pennsylvania, spoke to
an assembly of engineering students
in the Broun Hall Auditorium. Tihs
lecture was given primarily for the
A. S. M. E., but points of interest
to all were added in the course of the
lecture.
The lecturer gave a brief history
of the 46 years that the A. S. M. E.
has been in progress. The member­ship
of the society was then discuss­ed.
At present the membership of
the National society is about 17,000.
He expressed his hope that the stu­dent
chapter would be ever watchful
to get quality but not quantity in
choosing its men. The National So­ciety
chooses from those men later
in years and it's essential that good
material be developed.
A consolidation of all engineering
societies is a question that is being
discussed a great deal at present.
The only thing against this move­ment
will be low standards on the
part of some of the societies con­cerned.
Let the A. S. M. E. always
be up to standard!
At present the A. S. M. E. is do­ing
a great deal of research work.
This work is being financed by the
large concerns interested in the par­ticular
research being done. The
Electrical and Civil Engineers are
also being called upon for help when
problems more closely related to their
profession arise. When this work
has progressed far enough the re­sults
will be printed and published
for distribution. This data will be
of great volue to the Mechanical En­gineering
Profession. This re­search
is being conducted in M. I. T.,
Harvard, and in the U. S. Bureau of
Standards.
In 19 of the states of the Union
the A. S. M. E., has a code of speci­fications
or standards that serve to
standardize a great many of the
engineering products and necessities.
Alabama does not have this code and
it is a very desirable and almost es­sential
thing to have. Professor
Kavanaugh urged the men to add
their part in helping to adopt the
code.
The Student Branch of the Society
has three beneficial factors. 1. Bene­fits
to the National Society. When
the men in the student chapters get
into the professional world, the Na­tional
Society chooses its members
from this group -of men.
2. Benefits to the College. The
advertisement to engineers locally is
obtained thru this medium. *
3. Benefits to the Students. Es­pecially
the officers derive a great
benefit because they have the bulk
of the work to do. Then there is a
spirit of the profession developed in
the group thru the discussion of prob­lems
that are really mechanical.
The general concensus of opinion
among the engineers is that the en­gineering
profession is not justly
recognized. Professor Kavanaugh
says this is due to the attitude the
engineer has in civic life. The prob­lems
of civil life are highly respon­sible
to the work of the scientist and
the engineer. Surely the engineer
should help the civic group to solve
these problems. It is the duty of
the engineer to have an interest in
this work. The excuse if often of­fered
that the time for this work is
not available. In reply to this Pro­fessor
Kavanaugh says, "we can find
time to do the things we want to
do."
World affairs should also be dis-

Westerville, April 2—A student
from Colombia, South America, Jc rge
Mazabel, was awarded first piace
among student representatives of 23
countries that participated in the
contest held among foreign students
attending American colleges, by the
Intercollegiate Prohibition Associa­tion,
Student Department of the
World League Against Alcoholism,
the outcome of which was announced
today. Mr. Mazabel is in the Col­lege
of Engineering at the Univer­sity
of Michigan. He wrote on the
theme, "Prohibition and the Rights
of the Individual." The office of the
Intercollegiate Prohibition Associa­tion
is in Washington, D. C. Dr.
Ernest H. Cherrington of Wester­ville
is chairman of the Executive
Committee.
Additional prizes and honors were
awarded as follows: Second place,
No Yong Park of Korea, a senior at
the University of Minnesota, who
wrote on the "Economic Effects of
Prohibition in the United States";
Third, Joseph Tatsura Santo of Jap­an,
attending Drew Theological Sem­inary,
who wrote on "Nationalism
and Alcoholism in Japan"; Fourth, T.
L. Tan, Shantung, China, a student
at Stanford University who discussed
the situation in America under the
title, "Should the Eighteenth Amend­ment
be Repealed," and fifth, Miss
Ruby Adendorff of South Africa a
student at Columbia University, who
wrote on, "Prohibition Has Come
to Stay."
The world problem of drink and
the international influence of Ameri­can
prohibition were outstanding
ideas in the contest which has been
going on for a year among the stu­dents
from other countries now at­tending
colleges and universities in
this country. They took special iu-terest
in what is being done in litis
country as they see it from the view
point of thoughtful young men and
women who have come from other
lands. They are keenly interested in
similar problems at home and are
gathering information which will be
helpful in their home lands to which
practically all will return within two
or three years.
Ten additional prizes were award­ed
as follows: Hi Yum Cho, Korea,
a graduate student at the University
of Chicago; Chun Wang, China, at­tending
McCormick Theological Sem­inary;
Nada Tohomoneff, Sofia, Bul­garia,
a senior at George Washing­ton
University and last year a stu­dent
at the University of Richmond;

Writing about what he sees of
prohibition in the United States, the
winner, Jorge Mazabel, says: "It
has been a message of social redemp­tion
from one of the greatest ene­mies
of humanity, namely, alcohol.
The American fore-fathers wrote
down in the Declaration of Independ­ence
that among the rights of indi­viduals
were life, liberty and the pur­suit
of happiness. The prohibition
amendment has come to make these
rights true and real by taking away
from man alcohol, which through all
ages has made men die before he
should die; has enslaved him to vice
and misery and has made him indeed
very unhappy. The prohibition law
has been a social declaration of in­dependence
from the vice of alcohol-
