SOPHOMORE HOP
GRAND SUCCESS
IN EVERY WAY
WELL ATTENDED BY
STUDENTS
Many Out of Town Visitors
Present
Hence, loathed melancholy, as the
clock tolled the midnight hour of
^Saturday night ending the gala af­fair
of the opening dances, or the
Sophomore Hop, and bringing to a
close the most successful dances in
every respect, that Auburn has wit­nessed
in many years.
The fairest maidens were in the
village of the Plains and the spirit
of mirth and joy reigned supreme
for three festive days and nights.
- The event was one that without a
doubt be long remembered and in
this connection the social commit­tee
is to be highly complimented on
their work that made the dances
a success. The gymnasium was
beautifully decorated in a manner
expressive of the season. Suspend­ed
from the roof was Spanish Moss
alternated with fall leaves. The
orchestra pit was artistically deco­rated
and painted to harmonize
with the surrounding decorations,
thanks to Mr. Earl Lutz.
Whatever their chosen avoca-
*•» • i^^. tigns m professions, those dapper
young fellows who comprised the
orchestra of Jack Linx and his
Society Syncopaters are evidently
imbued with the assurance that
fickleness of dame fortune amounts
to naught so long as a world clam­ors
for jazz and syncopation.
The morning and noon dances
were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The
l ^ Friday afternoon dance was given
• by the Thendaras, the Saturday
I morning dance by the Scarabs, and
^ ^ B the Saturday afternoon dance by
^ r the Scabbord and Blade, who also
I had their initiates present to enter-f
tain their guests with a sabre drill
' and barefoot dancing.
"But to think, makes one full of
sorrow."

RABBI SCHWARTZ SPEAKS
AT CONVOCATION
Rabbi William B. Schwartz, of
Temple Beth-or, of Montgomery,
was the speaker at Convocation
for upperclassmen last Thursday.
The speaker was introduced by the
Rev. George Ossnian,. of the local
Episcopal-Church who was asso­ciated
with Rabbi Swartz as a
chaplain in the World War at
Camp Sheridan.
In his talk Rabbi Schwartz spoke
of the three problems uppermost in
the lives of students of today. He
urged the students to look upon
the serious side of life and to help
master the three problems, ignor­ance,
poverty, and religious pre­judice.
To illustrate his points, Rabbi
Schwartz told a story of three
workmen in a stone quarry, the
first of whom being questioned as
to what he was doing replied, "I
am working for five dollars a day,"
the second answered, "I am cutting
stone," while the third answered,
"I am building a Cathedral." These
three workmen are typical exam­ples
of the concrete lives of people
of today. The first is gaining a
livelihood, the second is too prac­tical
without vision, and the third,
the builder of the Cathedral, en­larges
and enriches life.
PARADE 3:00 P. M.
The first Ag Fair originated a
few years ago at the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute. Since that time
it has developed into an annual
event on the Ag Campus. This
year it is to be BIGGER and BET­TER
than ever.
The first appearance of the fair
was very meager. It consisted of
the Ag men marching the streets,
carrying pitchforks and pulling
farm machinery. From this short
parade grew the parade a half-mile
long or more which will pass
through the streets of Auburn next
Thursday afternoon.
Last year the. girls' fashion show
was added, and attracted much at­tention.
This year there will be
a number of stunts added. The
girls' show, which they refuse to
give information about as yet, will
be one of the main attractions.
Another addition is the Negro
Minstrel. The man who is going
to offer this great production—well
—if I should mention his name you
would be surprised to know that
the Ag Fair has attracted such a
famous man for just one night. It
was no easy job to persuade a man
like this to come to Auburn,, but
after several visits from the super­intendent
of the Ag Fair, and sev­eral
other prominent men of the
Ag family this great play producer
promised to come for one night—
provided, we would promise him
a big audience. Of course we made
that promise.
The Ag Fair is one of the pro­ducts
of the Ag Club. The Ag Club
is recognized, by all, as the most
wide awake student organization on
the campus. It has an enrollment
of 110 Ag students who attend reg­ularly,
and has the reputation of
doing anything that it attempts.
The old Auburn spirit prevails
among the Ags, and when there is
something to be done they do it.
The purpose of the Ag Fair is
to foster a better spirit among the
agricultural students, and to invite
the other students as well as the
public to the Ag Campus, the
proceeds of which go to the Ag
Club library, so come out and help
increase the Ag Hbrary, as well as
get some thrills that you can never
forget.
DEAN WILMORE SPEAKS
AT A. I. E. E. MEETING
Auburn's Water Supply to Be
Ample for Future
The local branch of the Ameri­can
Institute of Electrical Engi­neers
held their regular meeting on
October 15.
The Branch then had the privi­lege
of hearing Dean Wilmore de­liver
a very interesting lecture on
Auburn's Water Supply. He said
that as soon as the development is
complete, the City of Auburn need
have no fear of having a deficient
water supply.
Dean Wilmore congratulated the
Branch on their increasing interest
and attendance.
IN MEMORIAM
MARGARET DUNCAN
Margaret Duncan, Sophomore, passed away on Tuesday,
October 21. She was a well known student on our campus
and loved by all who knew her. The entire college mourns
the loss of such a beloved student.
Freshmen Name Class
Officers For Year
The election of class officials
was the main event in Tuesday's
Freshman Convocation. Some good
music opened the session, after
which Mr. Davidson read the scrip­tures
and gave the convocation
prayer. Dr. Dowell stated the pur­pose
of the meeting and gave the
students advice on how to elect
the right kind of officers in the
right way.
Mr. Turk, President of the Coun­cil,
presided and the following of­ficers
were elected: Paterson,
President; . Haygood, Vice-Presi­dent;
McKnight, Secretary.. Otljer
officers are to be elected at a fu­ture
date.
IMPORTANT Y. W. C. A.
ELECTION TO BE HELD SOON
At last dreams are coming true,
like flakes of snow that fall unper-ceived
upon the earth, the seeming­ly
unimportant events succeed one
another, until at last as the snow
gathers together these events are
being gathered together into a great
big meaning—"State Y. W. C. A.
Unified Action."
First, in making the plans for
this unified action we realized the
need of a chief executive, a coun­cil
to execute the plans made by
our State Y. W. C. A. Conference.
This council is to consist of a
chairman, elected by the confer­ence,
and a representative from
each college Y. W. C. A. Auburn
has yet to elect her representative.
This is to be the most important
position on our local cabinet. The
one who is elected must be one
who has the ability to best express
Auburn ideals of the highest type
and who has the ability to think
through and express original ideas
that will be best for the good of
all. She must have initiative and
ability for leadership and be able
to make the best adaptation to
whatever situation comes up.
Girls, this is really a more im­portant
position than that of the
Chairman, for she must be one
who will step forward in an effort
to put this new movement across
on our own campus, where it or­iginated.
Since it started on our
own campus it is up to our rep­resentative
to best cooperate with
the chairman in getting it started
right.
A. S. C. E. MEETS IN
ENGINEERING BUILDING
The regular meeting of the
American Society of Civil Engi­neers
Monday night was well at­tended,
and greatly enjoyed by all.
After the meeting was called to
order by President Scott, a short
business session was held. In this
session the prompt payment of
dues was stressed, in order that
membership cards for the local
chapter may be obtained.
Short, but interesting and in­structive
talks were made by Mr.
Salzman, Mr. Mcintosh, Mr. Col­lins,
and Mr. Harkins.
Scabbard and Blade
Have Initiation
The local chapter of the national
military society of Scabbard and
Blade elected six new members
from the senior class and two asso­ciate
members from the military
department at a recent meeting.
Scabbard and Blade is national
in chracter and has for its purpose
"to raise the standard of military
training in American Colleges to
unite in closer relationship their
military departments, to encourage
the essential qualities of good of­ficers,
and to promote intimacy
and fellowship between the cadets."
Membership is based upon military
efficiency, character and manhood.
The following were elected:
Active members: B. G. Camp­bell,
R. C. Trammell, Fred Sheri­dan,
R. M. Meigs, E. A. Barks, A.
D. Collins.
Associate members: Captains
Pick and Jackson.

PRESIDENT DOWELL
SPEAKS AT AG. CLUB
Dr. Dowell was a guest of the
Ag. Club last Thursday night and
his message was a challenge to
every right-thinking individual.
His words, calling forth pride in
our Southland, inspired his hear­ers
to become crusaders in a
mighty uplift of growth and pros­perity.
The natural advantages of our
state, unparalleled as they are,
were brought into sharp contrast
with forward strides and served to
show that our people have not been
alive to their great opportunities.
This, he attributed to the tenant
system of farming, the lack of edu­cational
facilities and the poverty
of the rural population. In com­parison
with the development in
other- states, he pointed out the
fact that the per capita wealth of
the rural population in Alabama
was $375, whereas, Iowa, one of
the leading states, has $5700 as the
average farmer's income.
Streets of
City Named
By Council
Postal Delivery to be In­stalled
Within Short
Time
* The Village is Taking on the air
of a Metropolis.
Auburn has reached the stage in
its development where it merits one
of the greatest improvements which
bring about the change of Village
to City, a regular city delivery of
mail.
It has been reported that there
will be two deliveries daily. One
before nine A. M. and the other be­fore
three in the afternoon. No
longer will our young swains have
to spend many long minutes of
eternity waiting in a heartless
line for the scented epistle which
is sometimes called a sugar report.
In order that the city mail may
be delivered successfully it is nec-cessary
that the streets be officially
named and the houses be numbered
in a systematic manner, the City
Council has adopted the so called
Philadelphia system. Two experts,
Messers Judsen and Walker have
been given the job of installing this
system. They have been at work
for some time and are making good
progress. They expect to finish
within the next week. The have in­stalled
this system in a large num­ber
of towns and cities throughout
the United States.
No longer will it be necessarry to
talk fifteen minutes in order to tell
a person where you live. This
should find instant favor among
the Co-Eds who live out in town.
They will not have to spend near
so much time telling young men
where they may be found.
The system being used is the sanie
that is in use in many of our larger
cities. One hundred numbers are
given each block and one is given
to each twenty -five foot frontage.
This eliminates the use of fractions
to a great extent. All odd numbers
are on the left going away from the
base, (the intersection of College
Street and Broun Ave.) Streets
run North and South while the ave­nues
run East and West.
Several of the old streets have
been renamed for various reasons.
The street formerly known as Main
Street is now named College St.
Magnolia Avenue has been renam­ed
Broun Avenue in honor of Dr.
Broun, who was President of the
Institution when it came under its
present name. Broun Hall is on this
avenue.
The easternmost avenue of the
town was given the name of De-
Bardeleben, a man who helped very
materially in the million dollar
drive for a greater Auburn. He
gave a great amount of his time to­ward
putting the drive across and
deserves the honor of having an
Auburn avenue named for him. Mr.
Bragg, who was also a great help
in the drive, will see his name on
the street north of Mitcham avenue.
There have been several other
changes and several new streets
given names, all of which have
some historical interest. This
change and improvement should be
a source of pride to every one inter­ested
in Auburn.
TIGERS TROUNCE
HOWARD BULLDOGS
BY 17-0 SCORE
HAGOOD and PETERSEN
MAKE TOUCHDOWNS
Spurred on by the applause of
many admiring maidens who grac­ed
Auburn with their presence last
week-end, the Tigers captured
their second and last campus game
of the season, the victims being
the Howard Bulldogs, and the dif­ference
of ability being seventeen
points.
The benignant rays of Old Sol
proved to be a bit too benignant
for football purposes, and there­fore
the game was neither as fast
or well played as it might have
been. Howard put up a good
fight, and at times showed flashes
of real ability, especially in the
passing line, but they were clearly
outclassed by the Tigers, who gain­ed
177 yards to the Bulldogs' 57,
and who registered 12 first downs
to the visitors' three.
"Rough" Ed Allen and Fatty
Lawrence probably did the best
work for the Tigers, while the
whole team showed up well in
the defensive department. Crane
did some shifty running, while Ha-good,
starting his first varsity
game, hit the Bulldog line with
toiling effect, and scored the first
touchdown for Auburn. Buck Wil­liams
added to his season point to­tal
by kicking a goal after touch­down
and a beautiful 25 yard field
goal from placement.
To "Ham" Stevens goes the hon­or
of putting up Howard's best all-round
game, although his kicking,
as a general rule, was not of the
highest order. However he did
some fine running back of punts,
and, with "Polly" Scokel, formed
as pretty a passing combination as
has been seen on Drake Field in
some time. Kelly, at guard, put
up Howard's best defensive work.
Coach Pitts started his reserve
team against Howard; Ollinger,
Lawrence, Self, and Pruitt, being
the only regulars to start. Lollar
kicked off to Auburn's one yard
line, and Allen fumbled, but Fenie
Crane picked up the ball and raced
back 44 yards. Allen and Hagood
made a first down through the line,
and then Allen circled left end for
fifteen yards, but dropped the ball
and Howard recovered on her own
25 yard line. After testing the Ti­ger
line and finding it solid, Stev­ens
managed to get off a 20 yard
punt to Lawrence, who was drop­ped
in his tracks. The Tigers then
captured seventeen yards through
the line in four successive plays,
but Howard tightened up on the
28 yard line and after two passes
fell untouched, the ball went over
to the Crimson. The Bulldogs re­treated
instead of advancing, as
English got Stevens for a 2 yard
loss and then Howard was penaliz-

GOOD PROGRAM BY WIRTS
Another one of those good pro­grams
was carried out by the Wirt
Monday night. "Rat" Kenser gave-,,
a talk on: "Will the Second Teddy
Roosevelt Resemble the Elder
Roosevelt?" After Mr. Kenser's
talk a motion was put before the
society by Mr. Hooper to change
the regular meeting of the society.
It was voted on by the society that
the meeting would be held on Tues­day
night instead of Monday night.

REPORTERS
They should also remember that many people, passing through on the
train, form their opinion of Auburn. In this way a few students can
give a stranger a bad misconception of what Auburn really is.
A mere reminder and a little caution by the thinking students
should be sufficient to stop this without it becoming necessary for a
rule to be enforced as has been the case some years in the past.

IN BIRMINGHAM
On account of the acuteness of the situation, in Birmingham
Saturday, many students have not attended all of the shows given
here in the last few weeks in order that they might have coin enough
to see a second Tiger-Tiger clash.The game is expected to be one of
the cleanest and hardest on the schedule this season. It will be very
interesting for several reasons. Neither team has been defeated this
season and "Mike", the little Irishman so well known in the village,
is for the first time leading a team that will face Auburn's goal post.
During his twenty years as head coach at Auburn, Coach Donahue
did a great deal in helping build up the spirit of sportsmanship
that now exists in Auburn. He is of course now talking and teach­ing
the same kind of sportsmanship at his new home. This insures
a clean game.
As has already been hinted, the team will not be the only stu­dents
in Birmingham Saturday, but several hundred other students
will represent Auburn at this game. The action of students attending
this game will determine the opinion that strangers and friends in
Birmingham will have of Auburn in the future. It is the duty of
every student to see that his actions are just as good, or perhaps bet­ter
than they are on the campus. For the benefit of those who might
forget, let us quote Art. Ill Sec. 1 of the Student Government By-
Laws:
Rules for conduct at out-of-town games shall be the same
those for conduct on the campus.
Let's live up to expectations and make it a good clean trip.
Are our "Rat" rules something to fill up space in the handbook
or are they rules that rats must go by? The latter is their purpose.
While thinking over this subject we have noticed that the rat nu­meral
blazes us in the face at almost every corner, many rats wear
their caps only when they get ready (if at all), and occasionally one
can be seen puffing a cigarette as he walks about the campus and
other tilings for which they should be getting value received. It is
also remembered how they placed their numeral on the newly paint­ed
space for the Senior numeral.
You can't quite blame the rats for it for you have been a rat
yourself and know how it feels to get by with something. The up-perclassmen
should be using the real logical way of keeping them in
the non-curving and slender path which is the vigilance committee.
If you are an old man it is your power and privilege to see that the
members of the class, whose numeral is seen so often, are rats and
act as such, by turning them over to the committee whose duty it
is to remind them in an impressive' manner that they are not always
getting by. Let's get behind it and give our committee a little exer­cise.

THE OPENING DANCES
From all accounts the opening dances, recently held, were the
cleanest and most enjoyable ever held here. It is said, by many, that
the conduct on the dance floor was the best seen here in many years.
It is a pleasing fact, to those who are interested in Auburn, to know
of the improved conditions of the dances.
Much of the success of the Sophomore Hop was due to the un­tiring
efforts of the Social Committee, the Social Director, and the
Student Council. They all put forth a great deal of effort and can
feel justly proud of the fact that they conducted one of the clean­est
dances ever held in Auburn.
In the light of the success of this dance, let us also think of
a few of the serious points. There are other things that
must be considered other than the conduct on the dance
floor, namely, the general conduct during the dance period. There
was of course some misconduct during the above mentioned dances
which is perhaps traceable to a few individuals who are not worthy
to bear the name of Auburn men. It is a fact to be regretted that
some men do not have enough self-respect and school spirit to cause
them to act the part of a real person when they are liable to hurt
the reputation of a great institution.
We do not say that the above remarks apply to any student
enrolled at Auburn (and we hope they do not). But if there are
such men among us, let us hope that they will soon undergo a com­plete
change of life or are apprehended by our Student Council and
subjected to their action. Anyway, let us hope that conditions will
continue to improve so that there will be no question as to conduct,
in the future.

X-CHANGES
The Alabama CRIMSON-WHITE
is again putting out a paper that
does credit to the institution and
the state. It has a lot of news and
many interesting features.
A REMINDER
Some complaint as to the conduct of a few students who go down
and annoy passengers on board the trains, has reached us. It is our
opinion that any student that does a thing that is so unbecoming of
a gentleman as this, is either very low in his idea of respect to him­self
and others or is very much "away from home" when it comes
to thinking. It is surely an act very unbecoming of an Auburn gen-r
tleman.
It is hoped that it is entirely due to a laxity of thinking on the
part of the guilty ones and that upon being reminded of their mis­conduct,
no one will repeat the act. The ones in question should note
the fact that the greater part of the student body, not only does not
take part in this ungentlemanly conduct but they disapprove of it.
The GOLD AND BLACK of Bir­mingham-
Southern should be com­plimented
on its editorial page.
The editorials are good and attrac­tively
written. The whole paper
is well edited.
THE TECHNIQUE, of Georgia
Tech, is making a good start at
living up to its slogan, "The South's
Liveliest Collece Weekly." Their
ten page opener was one to be
noted.
We are glad to have THE ALA-BAMIAN
with us. They seem to
have a real live bunch on the staff
this year.
Poly is always welcome. THE
POLYTECHNIC REPORTER, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., is one of our best
exchanges. We have always had
a warm feeling for other Polytech-nical
Publications.
Rat Hikes 7 5 0 Miles to Auburn
Yesl All the way from Lake
Charles, Louisiana, to Auburn by
walking and catching rides. This
was the experience of Charles F.
Kimball, a Rat here in Auburn.
Rat Kimball left Lake Charles on
Friday, September sixth, and arriv­ed
in Auburn-on Tuesday, Septem­ber
tenth. He was rather lucky in
catching rides. On one occasion
he rode with Mr. Caton, father of
Noah Winston Caton. He arrived
in Auburn clad in high leather
boots and a leather jacket with his
khaki uniform. A long list of
towns were printed on his-jacket.
It might be interesting to Auburn
to know that he played football
under our own "John Barleycorn"
Shirey at Lake Charles High
School.
Rat Kimball picked Auburn over
many other technical schools. He
has registered in the Highway En­gineering
Department.

T-TERE the architects envisioned a picture, saw the modern office x building in terms of the great art of the Middle Ages—and the
result is a demonstration that the utilitarian structure, the modern office
building of commerce may be as picturesque as it is practical. Vision,
imagination, courage and practical ingenuity in stylistic adaptation
have enabled the architects of this country to astonish the world with
their achievements of today and their promise of tomorrow.
Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organiza­tion,
will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture
of the future. .

Several organizations on our
campus are working for the same
purpose, the development of a
friendly attitude and sisterly spirit
among the women students. The
girls naturally divide into different
social groups, but each group,
working as a unit, strives to see
that the love of those within its
circle shall broaden and help each
member to serve more whole­heartedly,
those without its circle.
Each organization is but a mem­ber
of the student body as a whole.
The campus is only as strong as
these individual groups, or mem­bers.
If there be dissension among
the members the body will become
divided against itself and cannot
stand. Let us make each part, or
group, so perfect and so in har­mony
with the other groups, that
all may work in unison for the up­building
of a greater and better Au-
Ubprn.

FORMAL OPENING
OF Y. W. HUT
The formal opening of the Y. W.
C. A. Hut was held on Thursday
afternoon, when three hundred
ladies of the town were invited
there to a silver tea. Inspite of
the inclement weather arid the fact
that two other social events were
scheduled for that same evening,
the affair was quite a success and
a large number of guests called to
drink a social cup of tea with the
girls, between the hours of four and
six.
Although rain was steadily mist
ing outside, inside the hut the
guests found a cosy, festive atmos
phere. Gay flowers were placed all
around the room; new curtains shut
out the cold and dampness, and a
delightful odor of hot tea arose
from the attractive tea table, which
was presided over by Misses Annie
Laurie Penn and Agnes Ingram.
Soft lights added to the picture.
The members of the Y. W. C. A.
appreciated very much the interest
shown by the ladies of the town,
both by attendance at the tea and
by the advice and promises given
about the future plans for making
the room more attractive.
Miss Lulie Gamble, as chairman
of the Y. W. C. A. Social Committee,
and the members of her committee
were responsible for the trans­formation
in the appearance of the
hut.

LET'S admit that all men are not born for

You can admire a man's grit for plugging
away at the thing that comes hardest to him.
He does derive benefit in developing himself
where he is weakest. But to achieve real success
it is only common wisdom to pick out the line
for which you have a natural aptitude—and go
to it.
Particularly if you are a freshman it may be
useful to remind you of this principle, because
it can help you start off on the right foot in both
your campus activities and your college courses.
If your fingers love the feel of a pencil, why
not obey that impulse and come out for the
publications? You can serve Alma Mater and
yourself better as a first-class editor than a third-class
halfback.
Similarly, when it comes to electing your col­lege
courses, you will be happier and more effi­cient
if you choose in accordance with your

Sailing West to India
Si\I NCE the days of Christo­pher
Columbus men have felt
the call to "sail due west to find
India." In an organization like
Westinghouse, such pioneering
spirits find happy haven as re­search
engineers. Their every
thought is a question—every
energy bent to discover new
and more effective answers to
baffling problems.
Immediately Westinghouse
began to build alternating cur­rent
machines of high voltages,
for example, the problem of
insulation became acute. For
thirty-five years high voltages
and insulation have formed an
endless chain of problems. As
voltages have been increased,
improved insulation has been
demanded. As insulation has
been bettered, voltages have
been still further increased.
One striking contribution of
Westinghouse research engi­neers
has been the perfection
of an entirely new insulation
material—Micarta. Possessing
many of the qualities of metal,
paper, fiber, mica, gum, rubber,
Micarta differs in radical re­spect
from all of these.
It serves industry indirectly
as improved insulation mate­rial,
and also directly because
of superiorities when used for
gears, propeller blades, and
the like.
Only the imagination can
set a limit on the. field for the
research engineer—or for an
o r g a n i z a t i o n that centers
around him.

With The Enemy
•Mike Donahue and Johnny Heis-
,man renewed their old feud last
Saturday when L. S. U. met Rice
Institute out in Houston, Texas,
the Louisianans winning a 12 to 0
verdict. The Texans played^ Mike's
pupils to a standstill, but the Tigers
took advantages of the breaks, a
recovered fumble on the three
yard line paving the way to one
Z touchdown, while an intercepted
pass was responsible for the other
marker. The Louisiana Tigers
have scored seventy points this sea­son,
and have had twenty-seven
scored against them.
One of the greatest surprises of
, , a surprising season was furnished
last Saturday when the Green Wave
[ from Tulane swept the Vanderbilt
Commodores on to a 21-13 defeat.
Brother Brown was, as usual, the
outstanding star, his 25 yard dash
off tackle providing a touchdown
• for the Greenies in the first few
minutes. In justice to Vanderbilt
it must be said that several of their
players still bore marks of the con­flict
with the Quantico Marines,
but at that Tulane seems to have
about the best team that they have
had in a long timer The Green
Jackets will have a rest next Sat­urday
when they tackle Spring
Hill.

The Georia Bulldogs returned to
their native sod and administered
a 23 to 0 drubbing to the Furman
Purple Hurricane. As in the Ala-bame
game, the Carolinians fought
!—their opponents to a standstill in
the first half, but weakened in the
second and were unable to stem
the rushes of their heavier oppon­ents.
One of the most important
Conference games of the season
will be played in Nashville Satur­day
when Georgia goes forth to do
battle with the chastened Vander­bilt
Commodores.
Georgia Tech, by following the
ball, was able to beat the Nittany
Lions from Penn State by a 15 to
13 score, although the visitors ac­cumulated
twelve first downs to
the Jackets' one, and gained about
four times as much yardage
through, around and over the line.
However, by dint of, recovering
many fumbles, intercepting passes,
etc., the Southerners were able to
score a touchdown, goal after
touchdown, field goal, and safety,
which is about all that a team can
do in one afternoon. A game in
which Auburn will be much inter­ested
will be played next Saturday
when the Crimson Tide of Alaba­ma
will see what it can do in the
way of washing the Yellowjackets
off Grant Field.

For the last year or so, the only

been the pleasure of being knock­ed

they are to be remembered in a

ed 15 yards for holding. Stevens
kicked to Allen off Howard's 40
yard line, and Rough Ed trickled
through to the 6 yard line before
being downed. From this position
Hagood and Crane bucked the ball
over, Hagood being the one to reg­ister
the touchdown. Allen added
the extra point.
After this, there was little shown
in the way of offense by either
side. Auburn gained 47 yards to
Howard's 7 in the first quarter, but
Howard proved to be a bit stronger
in the second advancing the pig­skin
30 yards to Auburn's 41. In
the third neither team registered
a first down, the offense seeming
to totally die away. In all this
time, Howard made but two serious
threats, and each time, as Stevens
attempted to drop-kick, he was
rushed by the Auburn forwards
and forced to kick wild.
The Auburn offensive woke up
in the final period and clinched
the victory. The Tigers got hold
of the ball early in the quarter on
the fifty yard line. Williams and
Green made a first down in two
installments of five yards each. On
a fake play Green handed the ball
to Buckshot and the latter went
off right tackle for seven more
yards. Salter hit center like a fast
freight and plowed through for
eight more and another first down.
Buck Williams cantered through
center for twenty-five and still an­other
first down. Salter rammed
the line for four yards placing the
ball on the one foot line, and then
Dean Peterson slipped through for
the second and last touchdown,
Williams adding the extra point
At this point Fatty decided to
take a well earned rest, and Big
Abe Robinson went in at the pivot
position. It did not take him long
to get acquainted as. he made the
tackle on the very first play after
he entered the game. After unsuc­cessfully
trying to wedge through
the Tiger line Stevens punted to
his own 42 yard line. Pea Green
slipped off tackle for nine yards,
Salter adding one more for a first
down. Green again went off tackle
for five yards, Salter added three
more, and Williams again causing
the chain to move up by going
through for three yards. Here the
Bulldog line tightened up, and after
making only three yards in three
plays the Tigers were forced to
kick, Williams sticking the ball
between the posts.
After that, it was all over but the
shouting. A pass from Stevens to
Scokle netted seventeen yards, and
Speaking Of Sports
Sixteen quarters without being
scored on I That is the best that
the Tigers have done in some time,
and judging by the way the defense
has been acting when the Auburn
goal has been threatened a few
more periods are liable to be added
to the total.
Other Conference teams with un­sullied
goal lines include Alabama
and V. P. I. Both Alabama and
Auburn will have to look to their
laurels next Saturday. Both of them
have games scheduled with teams
who are liable to score most any
minute. This is especially the
case with Georgia Tech, who de­monstrated
last Saturday how to
score 15 points on one first down.
Don Rotherford, the kicking ace
of V. P. I., scored two pretty field
goals against Maryland, one from
the 39 yard line and the other from
the center of the field. Rutherford
probably had a lot more time to
kick than he had in the Auburn
game.
Smythe, McQuarrie and Co., oth­erwise
known as the Fort Benning
team, ran over Birmingham-South­ern
to the tune of 41 to 6. The
Infantrymen will get some real op­position
when they go north to
meet the Third Corps Area team,
on which Ail-American players are
as thick as flies in a Greek restau­rant.
The South had the advantage
over the North last Saturday from
a football standpoint as well as in
other things . Penn State came to
Atlanta and tried to achieve the
almost impossible feat of beating
Tech on Grant Field, and went
back on the short end of a 15-13
score. Bo McMillan's Centenary
Gentlemen journeyed to Indiana
and gave Butler College a 9 to 7
drubbing. King College lost to the
strong Third Corps team by a 14
to 0 margin.
Being a bit off form, Red Grange
was only able to score five touch­downs
against Michigan and assist
materially in the scoring of anoth­er.
He made the touchdowns in
a series of five runs, starting with
a 90 yard run from kickoff in the
first quarter, and dwindling down
to a mere 12 yard jog around end
in the third. To save Michigan's
self-respect, Grange was kept on
the side lines for about half the
game.
Just to make Mike and Gob feel
perfectly at home, the Auburn Tig­ers
are going to endeavor to chalk
up a decisive Auburn victory.
There are eleven southern teams
who have not lost a conference
game, three of them by virtue of
the fact that they have not played
any. Of the other eight Washing­ton
and Lee is probably the leader,
as they are the only team to have
won two games, Kentucky and
Maryland being the victims.
Last year the Tigers played four
conference games, losing one and
knotting the count in three. They
scored six points against confer­ence
opponents, and had thirteen
points chalked up against them.
This year, with two conference
games already played, the Tigers
have a conference record of one
game won and one tie. They have
scored thirteen points and their
goal line has yet to be crossed.
However, with five more confer­ence
games on deck a lot of things
can happen.
When two Tigers meet there is
bound to be trouble. This was
well demonstrated in the Clemson
game, and the indications are that
another good demonstration of this
fact will be given iu Birmingham
next Saturday.

battle with Auburn. Mike and his
Tigers have been going out to play
for many a year, but it has only
been a short while that Mike's Tig­ers
have had the L. S. U. prefix
to their name. For two decades
Peerless Mike was the guide, phil­osopher,
and .friend of the Auburn
variety of Tiger, and it was under
his guidance that Auburn attained
her high rank in Southern football.
Coming over with Mike is '"Gob"
Wilson, the Michigan Beau Brum-mel,
who for two years told the Au­burn
linesmen how it should be
done. He is telling the Louisianans
the same thing now, and very well
too, it seems, judging by the way
that Indiana was discouraged from
scoring when they threatened.
To match wits against the little
Irishman and his assistant will be
"Boozer" Pitts, who will regard the
Irishman no longer as the pupil re­gards
the master, but rather as a
great coach regards another great
mentor. For Pitts^ "learned about
football from him" and is determin­ed
to show that he learned his les­son
well.
L. S. U. has had a great record
this year. They were held to a sur­prisingly
low score by Spring^Hill
in the opener, but came back with
a decisive victory over Southwes
era the following Saturday. Then
came the game about which the
school will rightly boast for ma
years: the Tigers went North and
took the Indiana team in tow to
the tune of 20 to 14. This victory
showed the Louisianans to be true
pupils of Mike and Gob, for they
had to put up a wonderful fight
against heavy odds to wrest vic­tory
from the Hoosiers.
Last Saturday the L. S. U. bunch
went to Houston and beat the strong
Rice Institute team by the score of
12 to 0. This was but another
chapter in the old feud between
Mike Donahue and John Heisman.
The latter also coached at Auburn
but gained most of his fame as men­tor
of the Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets.
As to the outcome of Saturday's
game, that is a difficult thing to
predict. Both teams have met
some stiff opposition, and neither
team has done so well as it might
have against the east opponents
they have met so far this season.
L. S. U.'s victory over Indiana is
her chief claim to fame, while Au­burn's
13 to 0 defeat of the gallant
Clemson Tiger stands out as their
best performance of the current
season. The boys from the banks
of the Mississippi have scored more
points than the Tigers, but their
opponents have scored 25 points
against them, while the Auburn line
is still intact.
The results of the season have
shown the utter lack of value of
comparative scores so neither team
can be judged by its past perform­ances.
The only sure thing about
the game is that it will be a hard
fight, with a very, very little differ­ence
between the scores of the two
teams.

DEAN WILMORE
A man of ability, ah yes, but al­so
a man of modesty. Consequently,
one knows and can find out little
especially from him. Who's Who
gives an account which after a
translation from a stream of abbre­viated
words and capitals yield
some slight information.
Dean Wilmore is from Indiana.
(Is it characteristic of "Hoosiers"
to say little, think, and do much?)
His Alma Mater was Purdue Uni­versity.
He came to Auburn in
September, following his gradua­tion
in the spring of 1888 as in­structor
in Mechanic Arts. The
college at that time consisted of
Langdon Hall, which was an old
wooden building, the front part of
the Chemical Laboratory and the
Main Building, which was just
showing its face above the ground
in the process of being rebuilt af­ter
destruction by fire. Classes
were being held for the one hun­dred
and eighty students, attending
the institution, in the aforesaid
Langdon Hall in partitioned off
sections.
As the college has grown iu im­portance,
so has Dean Wilmore
risen from Instructor in Mechanic
Arts, 1888-91, to acting director of
Mechanic Arts, 1891-2, to Director,
1892-3, to Professor of Mechanical
Engineering,1893-1907, to Dean of
the Engineering School. He says
that the main thing he has done is
to register boys, try to keep them
straight, and help them take up
and drop subjects. (Could there
have been an emphasis on the
drop?) However, the aforesaid
stream of capitals in Who's Who
looks something like this: Phi Kap­pa
Phi, Tau Beta Pi, A. S. M. E.,
A. A. A. S., S. P. E. E., and others.
;He has also lent a helping hand
in the design and construction of
most of our present college build­ings.
The most recent of his works
of construction is the new water
supply system. Ladies and gentle­men,
boys and girls, Auburn, of all
places, is to have soon an abund­ance
of water. The new plant in­volves
a new dam on Moore's Mill
Creek, a pumping plant and a fil­tering
plant. The capicity will be
four hundred gallons per minute,
or 576,000 gallons per day. This,
with our present supply, will make
about 750,000 gallons per day avail­able.
The storage reservoir will
cover about 28 acres and have a
capacity of about 45,000,000 gal­lons.
This new plant authorized
by the Board of Trustees at Com­mencement
has been under con­struction
ever since. Although the
dam can not be built until spring,
the filtering plant will be fin­ished
by Christmas and soon Au­burn
will have water to burn. The
new engineering building will al­so
be part of his work. Truly it
may be said, "He who says little
may accomplish »uch."

The refreshments, offered by the
many concessions, will be clean,
wholesome, untouched by human
hands, served in an appetizing
manner, will tickle the palate, and
take the bottom out of your pocket-book.
The cry of hot roasted pea­nuts
will prove a popular ditty,
and as rendered by the venders of
this thinly shelled delicacy, will
ultimately reach your inner souL
The well-known hymn of "Fresh
Buttered Popcorn" will be sung in
conjunction with and running com­petition
with the former, and we
all hope that you will be convert­ed
and "come across."
There are many other things that
I could mention here that would
do you good to hear about, but
space does not permit a detailed
description of the many stunts that
will be offered. >

CRANETILT THREE-VALVE. LIFTING-TYPE STEAM TRAP
WHAT IS A STEAM TRAP?
A successful steam trap should be a pas­sageway
for water anda barrier to steam. It
prevents the loss o f any steam while it dis­poses
ofthe accumulated condensation from
pipe-lines and headers. Or drains receiv­ers,
drip pockets or steam using appliances.
I t is automatic, performing its important
function without attention.
Steam traps o f t h e right type, properly ar­ranged,
will returnhotcondensationdirectly
t o the boilers as pure feed water. Conserv­ing
the "heat ofthe liquid" o f this conden­sate,
t h ey effect large fuel economies. T h ey
are the most economical devices on the
market for boiler feeding. Steam traps can
also be used to draw condensation from
low pressures or vacuums, discharging
directly into a higher pressure, and meter-,
ing the discharge if desired.
Cranetilt traps perform these and similar
functions in many important power plants,
in chemical plants, paper mills and oil re­fineries.
Their operation is fully described
in a Crane publication entitled "Condensa­tion."
We will be glad to send a copy to
any engineering student who writes for it. CRAN E GENERAL OFFICES: CRANE BUILDING, 836 S. MICHIGAN AVENUE, CHICAGO
