1940 GLOMERATA
RECEIVES FIRST
CLASS RATING
Word was received here this
week that the 1940 Glomerata, college
yearbook for API, has been
accorded First Class Honor Rating
by the National Scholastic Press
Association for this year.
Editor of last year's annual was
Charles Kelley, architecture student
from Eutaw. Business manager
of the book was Hankins
Parker, veterinary medicine student
from Brewton. Both students
are still enrolled at Auburn as
they are taking five-year courses.
The rating for the 1940 Glomerata
makes the third straight
year that API's annual has received
the First Class Honor Rating.
The Auburn Plainsman for last
year also was accorded First Class
Honor Rating by the Associated
Collegiate Press, thus giving both
of Auburn's major publications a
high ranking in the nation.
The notice of the annual's rating
was received here yesterday
by "Trigger" McGehee, editor of
the yearbook for 1941.
A series of open forum discussions
which all students are invited
to attend, will be held each
evening immediately following the
service.
Four subjects have been announced,
one for each remaining
night of the week. They are:
"Love, Courtship, and Marriage,"
"War and Peace," "Religion on
the Campus," and "Honesty."
Tomorrow night, at the first of
the forums, the topic "Love,
Courtship, and Marriage," will be
discussed.
Faculty members, to be selected,
will act as advisors for these
forums, and Bishop Blake will
furnish the stimulating thought.
Tomorrow all engineering students
except those enrolled in
aeronautical may be excused from
classes at 11 o'clock. Thursday,
students in Education, and Friday,
aeronautical engineers and
students in Science and Literature
may leave classes to attend.
Students from the various
church organizations have been
serving as a choir for the morning
services, and the choirs in the
evening have been members of
the men's and women's glee clubs.
Robin Russell accompanies the
chorists on the Hammond Organ.
The lectures are all non-denominational,
and all students, regardless
of creed are urged to attend
as many times as possible. All evening
classes for the week are excused.
Members of ODK and Blue Key
are serving as ushers for the evening
services, and students from
the organizations of the various
excused schools alternate as ushers
for the 11 o'clock meeting.
Frat Pledges to
Hold Dance Soon
Tentative Date Set by
Group for November 22
Pledges representing most of
the fraternities on the campus
met Thursday night to form an
inter-fraternity pledge dance committee.
Jim Montgomery was elected
chairman of the committee, with
"Cap" Swift and Henry Park secretary
and treasurer, respectively.
The committee set a tentative
date for the annual pledge dance,
for Friday, November 22.
The idea of a pledge dance was
instigated last year by Bob Farrel,
an SPE, with the purpose of promoting
friendship among t he
pledges of the various fraternities.
The first dance was held last year.
Rat Politics Start
With Back-Slapping

Powerful Plainsman Panthers
Tackle Graft Wave Thursday
Grafters Favored to
Win Annual Classic
By A SPEC TATOR
Murder, mayhem, mishaps, and
much more . . . all this at no advance
in admission, when the
mighty Plainsman Panthers pulverize
the highly touted Glomerata
Graft Wave Thursday afternoon
at four-thirty on Bullard
Field.
Odds on favorites, according to
rumors drifting from near Langdon
Hall, will be the ripples from
the annual, but this information
is not to be accepted as reliable.
Basis for these rumors is believed
to lie in the difference of eligibility
rules of the two teams.
The Glomerata squad includes
all persons having pictures in that
booklet, while the Panthers only
allow those to play who are recognized
members of the staff with a
long tenure of service. Recent additions
to the Glomerata staff include
Dick McGowen, Rufus Deal,
Lloyd Cheatham, John "Hurry"
Cain, and Sammy Baugh.
Outstanding traitor of the current
season is Boots Stratford,
who starred for the Panthers in
last year's fracas. A member of
both staffs, he flipped a coin and
now declares allegiance to the
Graft Wave. His column in the
Plainsman will be concluded as of
this issue, if the fervent hopes of
the betrayed Plainsman staff
come true.
The Panthers boast an all-star
line-up, with the only weakness
being in the appendages of "Bird-legs"
Martin, pass snaring right
end. Outstanding back on the
field will undoubtedly be "Horrible"
Hollis, who can hit a humming
bird's tongue with a football at
fifty yards.
Mainstay of the forward wall
will be Bob Anderson, the Monte-vallo
Monsoon, who missed last
year's combat because of feminine
difficulties. Anderson was all-state
in high school for eleven
years, and in six states.
Flanking Anderson at the guard
positions will be Joe Gandy, a
fearsome cuss, and Jobie Bryan,
who also sings tenor. Left end
boasts a terrible lad named Frank
Wilson, who will be out for blood,
still smarting from the lucky
break which left the Grafters a-head
last fall.
Besides the triple-threat Hollis,
who really needs no support for
this warm-up game, John Pierce,
the Texas Terror; Jimmy Gilbert,
shifty as a pick-pocket's eye; and
Dirty Darty, mean as dying rattlesnake,
will man the backfield
posts. The backfield is, then, Hollis,
LH; Pierce, RH; Gilbert, QB;
and Darty, FB . . . as potent a
quartet as ever declared them
selves on the side of justice and
right.
All is secrecy in the enemy
camp, but main threats are
thought to be Stratford (the
skunk), Trigger McGehee (also),
Lil' Feller Newell, Prexy King,
and Doug "Iron Man" Nettles.
Bets are being placed on the
Glomerotters, in view of last
year's stellar performance, but
our prediction is . . . Panthers 53,
Graft Wave 6.
Roby, chairman of the Elections
Committee.
Student ticket books must be
presented by each freshman in
order to receive a ballot for voting.
Nomination blanks must be
placed in a locked box at the Phi
Delta Theta house between the
hours of 8 a.m. on Oct. 23 and 1
p.m. on Oct. 24, said Roby.
All nomination blanks must be
signed by four per cent of the
freshman class, and must bear the
signature of the nominee.
Officers to be elected by the
freshmen include president, vice-president,
secretary, treasurer,
historian, and representative to
the Executive Cabinet.
Voting will be held throughout
the day, beginning at 8 a.m. and
closing at 5 p.m.
All candidates are warned that
any means of campaigning other
than personal approach will disqualify
the candidate. This means
that no cards, handbills, and post-el's
may be used to aid the campaign
of the candidate. Candidates

in the college buildings are
advised to erase these immediately
to prevent being disqualified.

An Editor Talks to Himself
Reading in "The Tiger," newspaper
from Clemson College, we found the following
interesting item, "God Bless
America, God Bless Europe Too, They're
in Worse Shape Than We Are." There's
a great deal of truth in those words.
Incidentally, the same paper says that
"all Clemson votes which count will go
to President Roosevelt on November 5."
And speaking of Clemson, that reminds
me that we play their football team here
during Homecoming in our new stadium.
Clemson walloped a highly-rated Wake
Forest eleven last Saturday 39-0. Doesn't
look any too bright for Homecoming.
But, oh you Tigers!
* * *
We note in the "Red and Black" college
paper of the University of Georgia,
that their school at last has girl cheerleaders,
three of them in fact, after a
two-year campaign by their college paper.
More evidence of the "power of the
press." We had recently received a letter
from that school asking if we had
girl cheerleaders and how they were selected.
We replied immediately. Congratulations
to Georgia. Incidentally,
what happened to Georgia's point-a-minute
sophomores last Saturday against
Ole Miss?
* * *
The "Crimson - White" f r o m the
University of Alabama says that their
campus poll shows that 66% of the student
body favor Roosevelt for a third
term. We wonder what such a poll
would show here at Auburn. From the
sound of the applause and mixed boos
at the local theatre yesterday when pictures
of both presidential candidates
were flashed on the screen, we should
say that at least 75% or more of API's
students favor Roosevelt. Perhaps we,
too, shall conduct a poll on this vital
question.
We also notice in the weekly sheet
from the University that their annual,
"The Corolla," received the highest rating
of of any yearbook in the nation
last year. We wish to congratulate the
boys from Tuscaloosa. After all, fellows,
they are bringing fame to our state.
* * *
Coming nearer to home, we notice
that Auburn High's Baby Tigers won
their fourth straight victory of the season
last Friday when they defeated La-
Fayette 32-6. For the season this makes
a total of 114 points for the Baby Tigers
against 12 for their four opponents. Congratulations,
fellows, you're fighting
just like those Great Auburn Tigers we
all love so well.
* * *
And speaking of those great Auburn
Tigers. How about that game last Saturday
in Birmingham against a powerful,
and we do mean powerful, Mississippi
State team? That team of ours showed
us what that Great Auburn Spirit really
is. Coming back with only five minutes
to play they fought right on down
the field and over the goal line to earn
a tie with the Maroons. And we venture
to say that any team that played like our
Tigers did in those last five minutes of
that game really earned a tie.
Those Tigers showed that "never say
die" Auburn Spirit. They came surging
back after being played off their feet,
so to speak, for three quarters. Our hats
are off to a gallant team, who reminded
us of the words of Admiral Perry at the
Battle of Lake Erie," when the noble
seaman said to his crew, "Don't give up
the ship, boys."
* * *
Tomorrow is the day set aside for registration
of all men in our great nation,
between the ages of 21 and 36. Students
at API shall register in the corridor of
the basement of Samford Hall sometime
between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.
that day.
All students are warned that they
must register. There are to be no excuses.
The government means business,
they want results, and it's up to us as
loyal, able-bodied citizens to cooperate
with our government. Remember that
registration does not actually mean that
you will be called to a training camp. In
fact, college students will not likely be
affected by this conscription move, at
least not until after they have graduated.
So, come on fellows, let's go register
tomorrow. We've got to do our individual
part to help this great democracy, if
we wish our great nation to continue to
exist as a democracy and not become the
vassal of a certain Nazi overlord.
* # *
And while we are still here on the
campus, just another word on Religious
Emphasis Week. Attend as many of
these services as you possibly can. You
are not compelled to attend these services,
but during this time of great national
peril, it is well that we pause for
a few minutes each day, to take a closer
look at ourselves and just meditate with
Our Maker for a while.
See you at Langdon Hall tonight, fellows.
* * *
In passing, we would like to mention
that this week is the last chance to have
your picture made for the student section
of the Glomerata, our yearbook,
published by the Hons. McGehee and
Newell. The two Grafters urge all students
who have not yet had their picture
made for the student section to do
so at any time this week. Do not wait for
a card and a specified time, just go on
down to Student Center and let our mutual
friend, Arthur Easterling, snap your
likeness.
Incidentally, our friend Arthur, recently
told us that he was taking an
especial interest in making our Glomerata
the "best college annual in the
South" this year. Let's help Arthur out
as much as we can. Don't be timid, just
"look at the birdie" and then it's all
over.
Just a word concerning the ODK-Glomerata
Ball this coming Saturday
evening at Graves Center. From a beauty
parade of fifty lovely coeds the students
attending the dance will vote for
the "eight most beautiful girls in Auburn".
This is the first time that the student
body has selected the beauties for
our Glomerata. Previously, a faculty
committee has made the selections. So,
let's go over to Graves Center Hall Saturday
night and cast our vote for "the
beauties". What promises to be the best
dance of the year is also awaiting those
who attend.
The Plainsman will conduct a student
opinion poll on various questions on
Thursday of this week. All students desiring
to participate in this poll may receive
questionnaire sheets at the Main
Gate between the hours of 8 a.m. and
4 p.m. on Thursday.
The main purpose of the poll is to discover
which parts and features of the
Plainsman the student body favors and
which parts they disfavor. We urge the
cooperation of all students in this poll
and ask that you be constructive in your
criticism of the Plainsman. We simply
wish to publish a paper that you will enjoy
reading. We are doing our utmost
toward this goal.
Other questions on the poll will include
the Roosevelt - Willkie question
and the war situation question, both in
Europe and in the Far East.
So cast your ballot Thursday, and
thanks a lot, fellows.
This week is your last chance for your
Glomerata picture.

Editor's Note: The opinions expressed

and are not to be construed as the editorial
policies of this paper.
Dear Chisolm:
Karrie, always anxious to be of
help, has been working diligently
upon the task you set her, that of
finding out just who this guy
named Yehudi is. Passing up such
accepted beliefs as the fellow who
keeps his car in a mirage and the
fellow who makes rimless glasses
with no lens so that the little man
who isn't there can read between
the lines of unwritten law, Karrie
has discovered the true nature of
this mysterious character.
"Yehudi," says Karrie, "is the
lad who beats the off-beats on
Bob Crosby's Dixieland recording
of 'March of the Bobcats.' "
* * *
And the last minutes of the
State game were as satisfactory
as lemonade at a circus, although
the first half and most of the second
found the Auburn secondary
bottled up like a model ship.
We learned one thing . . . don't
make plans to meet pals at the TJ
late at night after the State game.
The place was so over-run with
lads from Mississippi that an Auburn
face, however homely, looked
like home sweet home.

Ad in the Alabamian, published,
supposedly, by the undergraduates
down at Montevallo . . .
"Dear Miss Clix:
I'm going to ask you to look into
my very soul, because I need
all the help your wisdom can give.
I am considered the wholesome
type, because I'm a good basketball
player, mix well with people,
and made Phi Beta in my Junior
year. But oh, Miss Clix, I'd rather
be a femme fatale and to hell
with this wholesome stuff! How
can I make the world—men, that
is—realize that I'm just a Daughter
of Eve? How does one begin?
"Yearning"
We sorta liked the inauguration
of carrier pigeons for news
photos which got off to a rather
successful start at the game Saturday.
The pigeons, carrying film in a
special container, were released at
Legion Field, and were safely at
the Birmingham News in three
minutes.
That is, all got back in three
minutes except one, which circled
the field and then dropped back
of the score-board to scratch for
grain.

Reminiscent of the time we did
our library work in semi-darkness
is this clipping from the Brown
and White at Lehigh.
"Dear Freshmen:
"You are now in Lehigh. Some
evening within the next few years,
you will undoubtedly go to the library.
When you do, don't forget
to bring your flashlight. You'll
find out why.
"Sincerely,
"The Brown and White"

Karrie, the Kampus Kommenta-tor,
Komments, "That shows how
much you know what you write
in your column. Why be so simple?
You wrote that bit of junk yourself,
and it ran in 'Plains Talk'
some weeks ago."

Staff recapitulation . . . "But
we didn't see any credit line,
either for the Plainsman or for

call it plagiarism, but why anybody

that stuff . . .??"
Many College Newspapers Laud
Nation's Pan-American Policy
America's collegians are enthusiastic
sponsors of the rise of Pan-
Americanism. The trend toward
solidifying relationships between
the United States and her sister
nations of the New World is evident
in developments on hundreds
of campuses.
Importance of education's role
in this field is noted by the New
York Times, which points out that
in recent months the republics to
the south have been subjected to
a quiet but nevertheless intense
"penetration," the invasion of
American school teachers. "Even
more significant," says the Times,
"were the visits of whole groups
of teachers and undergraduates
who went south on serious study
tours.
On the other side of the picture,
the University of Iowa Daily
Iowan notes that student enrollments
in Spanish language classes
at American colleges and universities
are showing substantial increases
over 1939. "This trend,"
the Iowan observes, "holds one of
the strongest hopes for real improvement
in understanding between
the United States and its
neighbor nations to the south."
A practical application to the
subject is given by the Louisiana
State University Daily Reveille,
which cautions that "more than
200 students on this campus are
not getting the co-operation that
they should. These are Latin-
Americans." Charging that "the
student body renigs in doing its
part by mildly 'snubbing' our
Latin-American friends," the LSU
publication comments that "the
welfare of the United States in
protecting its democracy and its
people depends as much upon solidarity
with its neighboring countries
to the south as it does on its
army and navy."
At Lafayette college, the Lafayette
requests new courses in
Latin-American history and culture.
Similar in tone is an editorial
in the Harvard Crimson. "As the
United States peers out into the
future," observes the Crimson,
"its leaders attempt to find security
not only in rearmament and
conscription, but in carefully cultivated
friendship with Latin-
America. More and more men will
go south to find a career, as cultural
exchange increases and
trade-nets tighten. Clearly it is a
function of a wide-awake college
to offer such individuals the
chance to prepare themselves. And
it is equally clear that, as this new
world opens beyond our shores, it
is the university's duty to be ready
and willing to educate all interested
in these peoples and their ways
of life. That Harvard does neither,
offering in this field nothing but
a lonely half-course in the history
of Mexico, may well invite comment.
Perhaps by next September
the catalogue will announce a
course in "International Relations—
Pan-America."
* * *
America's colleges evidence no
lagging behind the march of Pan-
Americanism. The United States
must acknowledge a debt of gratitude
to her collegians for their aid
in cementing hemispheric relations.—

Harvard in Hollywood
Every time the script calls for
a door slam on the Burns and
Allen airshow, a disgruntled voice
is heard to remark, bitterly:
"Four years at Harvard and
THIS (door slam) is what I do
for a living!"
Incidentally, it's a nice living.
Elliot Lewis' portrayal of a frustrated
college graduate pays off
substantially, as do Elliot's other
radio performances. He is the busiest
airwave actor in Hollywood.
He often gags his own gag-line
by saying: "Two years at Los Angeles
City College and THIS
(meaning his radio emoting) is
what I do for a living!"
Elliot wasn't kicked out of college,
nor did he flunk. He had intended
to finish in law and hang
out his shingle. But four years
ago, in his junior year, there came
a financial lull. After anxious
weeks a long forgotten radio audition
resulted in a call. His first
role is described as "Voice in a
Crowd During an Earthquake."
Not much chance for recognition,
but strangely enough it was the
beginning of a profitable career.
Elliot's radio roles grew more
important—until he was politely
informed by the dean of Los Angeles
City College that his radio
career was interfering with his
studies. Elliot made a choice —
in favor of radio.
Now, in addition to his grumbling
for Burns and Allen, you
can hear him on many important
dramatic shows. He was chosen to
open the Arch Oboler series, as
Tschaikowsky, opposite Nazimova.
Of late he has been flying to Chicago
for guest appearances on
Knickerbocker Playhouse. And on
the Silver Theatre he makes love
to such lovelies as Myrna Loy,
Joan Bennett and Loretta Young.

There is still a mighty mad
bulldog in Mississippi, but he has
felt the tiger's claws, and respects
the tiger's power. The Mississippi
State Maroons brought a fine
team to Birmingham on Saturday
and gave an excellent display of
football that in many instances
sent cold shivers through the Auburn
crowd gathered at Legion
Field. State would have walked
away the victor had not the spark
of life, the old Auburn Spirit, returned
to the Tigers. And when
it returned, the Tigers went
places. People in Birmingham are
still weak from the excitement.

Orchids to the conductor on the
southbound Seminole Saturday
evening. This conductor, with his
jovial manner, made friends with
the student population aboard the
train. This friendly manner may
have saved some of the railroad
property from destruction as has
so often happened in the past. All
other railroad conductors, please
note.

Olin Hill, the man with the tape,
who is well known in Auburn was
not caught napping at the game
Saturday. As he came out into the
open from under the stand, Olin
was asked as to the whereabouts
of his tape. He smilingly put his
hand in his pocket and extracted
the proverbial tape, much to the
delight of the surrounding fans.

Religious emphasis week is in
progress this week, and every student
should attend at least one
service during the week. We are
very lucky to have as guest speaker,
Bishop Edgar Blake of Coral
Gables, Florida, whose lectures
will be non-denominational.
Auburn got a little free advertising
in the motion picture at
the Tiger Sunday and Monday. In
the picture, "Knute Rockne, All-
American" a list of some of the
leading coaches who were Rock-ne's
pupils was called out. Our -«
own Jack Meagher was on the
list, along with a large Auburn
penant. Such advertising never
hurts anyone.
Speaking of shows, Miss Bob-bye
Vaughn, the drum major exceptional,
of the Mississippi State
band put on a show all her own at
Legion Field. With high steps and
deep back bends, Miss Vaughn
strutted down the field at the
head of the Maroon band, leading
them through the various, very
nifty, formations. Miss Vaughn,
who doesn't like to be called a
drum majorette, handled her
charges very nicely, and she is no
slouch with a baton, either.
To the fifty selected co-eds vying
for the titles of the "eight
most beautiful girls in Auburn":
Don't be afraid when you parade
in front of the cruel eyes of the
crowd. There just ain't no crowd,
no matter how savage, that beauty
can't tame. Good luck to all
of you, young ladies.

Away out Texas way there is a
mustang just rarin' to be rode.
He is kind of wild and smarting
from gittin' tied up last week, and
he might kick somebody, and if
they ain't careful they might git
mussed up a bit, but that don't
worry our Plainsmen none. They
kin go out to that Lone Star state
and lick or tame any two or four
footed animal that they've got out
there. 'Tain't going to be easy, of
course, but "Ride 'em, Plainsmen,
ride 'em, and bring that mustang-back
quiet as a mouse."
Plaiin sman Fom m Letters to the Editor
Dear McGehee:
Just a few lines to let you know
just what I think of you. These
are the barefaced facts and are
not adulterated by any means.
McGehee, I think you and the
whole Glomerata Grafting Crew
are about the lowest down, sorriest,
good - for - nothing, knock-kneed,
run-down, chewed-up-and-spit-
out, bowlegged, bunch of
idiotic, maniacial, ingrateful, nitwits
that ever lived upon the face
of this earth.
Why, your methods of grafting
are of the lowest sort. They are
not ever decent. Of course this
is all immaterial, irrelevant, and
inconsequential, but just the same
I think that you and the other
grafters are a disgrace to Auburn
and to civilization as a whole.
And just because I think that
you are the scum of the earth
and the world would be better off
if you were dead, I hereby challenge
you to a touch football
game on the afternoon of October
17 at 4:30 p.m. on Bullard Field,
at which time I will attempt to remove
your disgraceful presence
from our midst.
Very unsincerely yours,
Hollis
Yes, indeed, it's a nice living!
— (ACP) *
Dear Hollis:
And here are just a few lines
to let you know just what I think
of you, and in no uncertain terms.
Undoubtedly, Hollis, never has
this cruel world been burdened by
such a simple-looking, gruesome
person as yourself. What I think
of you cannot be put into writing,
yet I wish to say that you are
even worse than you describe myself
in your recent letter. The
same goes for your whole staff,
including Mother Wilson and Darty.
And furthermore, you can't
even use more than two fingers
to type with. And furthermore,
that sheet you publish is a disgrace
to the newspaper profession.
And furthermore, you can
tell your wife I said so. And furthermore,
I wouldn't care if you
got hit over the head with a brickbat
in some dark alley some night.
The world would indeed be a better
place to live in if this were
done. ~
As I have not yet found opportunity
to erase your disgraceful
person from this earth, I hereby
accept your challenge to a football
game on Thursday afternoon.
And may God have mercy on you.
Also very unsincerely
yours,
McGehee

Knifing through the air in his 150 mile an hour basic training plane, a Flying Cadet at Uncle Sam's
giant "West Point of the Air" playfully stages a mock attack on the aerial cameraman high over Randolph
Field, Texas. Who knows, the cadet might even be one of the two ex-Auburn students now in
training there?

Two former Alabama Polytechnic
Institute students, now Flying
Cadets, are among the 265
embryo pilots of the Air Corps
who are scheduled to complete the
basic flight training at Randolph
Field, Texas, this month. They
are: George W. Underwood, Un-iontown,
class of 37, and Reginald
H. Mason, Eclectic, class of
'39.
At Love Field, in Dallas, Texas,
another former Auburn student,
Byrd Marshall of Newville,
has recently been appointed Captain
of his class there. He will be
in training at this field for about
three more months, and then will
go to Randolph, "The West Point
of the Air."
Underwood and Mason will
transfer to the Advanced Flying
School at Kelly Field, on completion
of the basic course, for a
final ten weeks aerial training in
formation flying and day and
night navigation before getting
their "wings" and commissions as
Second Lieutenants.
They are members of the eighth
class of flying cadets to be trained
under the expansion program
of the Air Corps that promises
7,000 pilots annually. They started
their aeronautical career last
May when they began their primary
flight training.
They spent ten weeks learning
the fundamentals of pilotage on
rugged 200 horsepower army biplanes.
Each logged about 65
hours of flying time, about half
of it solo. All aerial maneuvers
from landings and take-offs to
loops and snap rolls were mastered.
In August all were assembled
at Randolph Field, the Air Corps
giant flight training school in
south Texas, for their basic instruction
in flight maneuver.
At Randolph, the cadets stepped
from their low powered primary
training planes to 450 horsepower
low wing trainers, with a cruis-

For those of you who want to
know just how our opening dances
band sounds, this record is just
the thing. The number one side
is "I'm Nobody's Baby," and it's
by Tommie Tucker. From the
hearing of this, we gather that
the Tucker Time band is really
fine, and there will be no danger
of the west end of Graves Center
being blown out by the blast of
brass such as one Teagarden offered.
The vocal is by Amy Arnell,
and the record is definitely on the
sweet side.
Number two side brings Al
Knapp's voice and "Buds Won't
Bud." It is played with a little
more swing than you usually hear
which helps the song a great deal.
The brand is Okeh.
The combination of good vocalists,
sweef reeds and subdued
brass assure us that we really are
going to hear some fine music
from T. Tucker at the Soph Hops.
Gene Krupa offers the sweet
ing speed of about 150 miles an
hour.
At graduation, scheduled for
some time early in December, Underwood
and Mason will receive
their Wings, emblem of military
pilots, and will be ready for service
on combat squadrons of the
rapidly expanding air corps.
Fly from Clanton to
Game in 1 3 Minutes
I
By JIMMY GILBERT
Nearly all of the male popula-
| tion of this fair campus hangs
! out their thumb either occasional-
! ly or habitually when the yen or
I necessity to travel presents itself.
I There are various degrees of .success
too, as those of you who have
! stood for hours in some out of
: way place, offering your all to the
j traveling public, will testify.
But our story is of good luck—
I wherein our hero finds himself a-board
a five passenger Waco
monoplane, bound for the Mississippi
State-Auburn football skirmish
this past week-end. The trip
had practically no waits, good
speed, and an interesting host.
To get to the details: the student's
name is Bert Powell, mechanical
engineering junior, who
wanders about quite a bit on his
thumb. He and three other Auburn
boys arrived on the B'ham
corner of Montgomery on their
way to the game. In about ten
minutes a very obliging fellow in
a new Buick picks up the four
and says he is going as far as
Clanton. He also reveals that his
name is Thigpen, and he is the ex-manager
of the Montgomery municipal
airport." This leads to the
fact that he keeps his private
plane at the airport in Clanton,
and that they can ride the rest
of the way to B'ham—this time
really "by airway."
So . . . our friend and his
friends, trusting in whatever god
API laddies trust in when they go
ahitching, finally give the "yes"
on their arrival in Clanton. Almost
immediately (thirteen minutes
later) we find them at the
B'ham airport, little the worse
for wear. The luck continues as a
voiced Irene Daye in the first
chorus of "Six Lessons from Madam
La Zonga." Background has
some fine drumming by Krupa
himself. Reverse to hear the now
old "No Name Jive," which is still
good for the cats. Columbia, record.
Kay Kyser and Columbia get
together on "Who's-Yehoodi", and
"Blueberry Hill." The entire band
does a vocal on the first. H. Babbitt
does the latter. Both good, if
you like Kyser.

PISCATORIAL UTOPIA
INSECT laboratories have been air
conditioned, rivets for dirigibles have
been refrigerated so they can be driven
better, and there is even a case where
telephone books have been cooled mechanically
to speed the hardening of the glue.
But it was only recently that the first
automatic heating installation designed
specifically for the comfort and health of
tropical fish was put into operation.
Devilfish, sharks, rays, the only porpoises in
captivity, and thousands of other unusual
specimens caper gaily around in their adopted
home in the Marine Studios at Marineland,
Fla. There, in huge tanks, the pampered fish
live the "life of Reilly" (the porpoises are
fed by hand) in water that is not only
filtered and aerated but is also held at a temperature
of 70 F.
Five General Electric oil furnaces do the
heating job, holding the 500,000-gallon
"oceanarium" at a temperature just like
home for the transplanted tropical specimens.
At G.E.'s Bloomfield (N. J.) plant, where air
conditioning equipment is manufactured,
is a division of the General Electric Test
Course. Here young student engineers gain
practical experience in this branch of
engineering.
CHASING SHADOWS
HOW would you like to see carbon dioxide
pour out of a beaker and snuff out the
flame of a candle, or cold water from floating
ice flow to the bottom of a glass? By accident
two General Electric scientists recently discovered
a way to force these and other ordinarily
invisible things to show themselves.
It all began one day when a searchlight
shining through the windows of the G-E
Research Laboratory at Schenectady, N. Y.
started the scientists on an investigation,
resulting in equipment which gives the inside
story of supposedly invisible happenings.
By holding transparent substances in a beam
of light from a water-cooled mercury lamp,
variations caused by changes in the index
of refraction show up plainly on a screen.
Gases, liquids, or transparent solids cast
strange shadows, revealing characteristics
unseen to the naked eye. Although this
has been done before with arc lights, the
new method has many advantages.
The two G-E scientists identified with this
accomplishment are Dr. R. P. Johnson, U. of
Richmond, '29, and Dr. N. T. Gordon,
Princeton, '13.

George Raftr Ann
Sheridan Star in
Picture at Tiger
Plenty of laughs, excitement
and romance are in store for Tiger
audiences when Warner Bros.'
new film, "They Drive By Night,"
opens Wednesday. The cost includes
an array of screen talent
that is difficult to surpass. In the
starring roles are George Raft,
Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino and
Humphrey Bogart.
George Raft plays the part of
a terse fellow who just wants to
be able to get along without having
to tangle with anyone—and
that means women. He is not successful.
Humphrey Bogart, in the
role of his brother, would like to
be able to appreciate his home and
wife—to have some time he could
call his own. Raft thinks that all
that talk about home life is just
so much nonsense until he meets
and falls in love with a waitress,
played by Ann Sheridan.
Bogart crashes over an embankment
and loses his right arm. As
a result Raft finds it necessary
to ask an old friend of his, por-
William Hall Preston, above,
will be one of the guest speakers
and leaders for the Alabama Baptist
Student convention to be held
here October 18-20.
CAA student brings the heros into
town.
Powell does his hitch-hiking
partly out of necessity, and partly
for the fun of it. He names it
among hobbies such as picture
taking and woodworking. He
hails from Daytona Beach, Fla.,
where he lifeguards in the summer.
To show that maybe he really
is a whiz, we dig up the fact that
he puffed in in sixteenth place in
the 1938 frosh cake race.
So when you stand in one town
for hours, or darkness finds you
at some country crossroads, don't
give up. There is always the
chance of someone coming by who
will give you a ride in his rocket
ship or submarine. It's not impossible,
t
trayed by Alan Hale, for a job.
Ida Lupino, in the role of Hale's
wife, becomes infatuated w i th
Raft and is furious when he acts
coldly towards her. It is said that
one of the most thrilling climaxes
ever to be seen on the screen occurs
when she carries out a deadly
plot to win Raft.
This sinister plot includes the
murdering of the husband she has
always loathed. Believing that the
removal of this obstacle to her
unrequited love will change Raft's
attitude toward her, she becomes
infuriated at his continued coldness
toward her. In a moment of
frenzy she places the blame for
the murder on Raft's hapless
head. From there on, the action
of "They Drive By Night" moves
rapidly with increasing tempo to
its astounding climax.

Plainsmen Rally to Tie Miss. State
Cheatham Passes to
Faulk for Touchdown
Inspired Comeback in Last Four Minutes
Tallies Touchdown After 73-Yard Drive
By JOHN PIERCE
Lloyd Cheatham Saturday snapped a sluggish Auburn
offensive from mediocrity to last-moment brilliance as the
Tigers roared 73 yards in the final three minutes of play
to tie Mississippi State's Bulldogs, 7-7, before a crowd of
18,000 at Legion Field.
It was a story-book finish for a Plainsman eleven that
had been visibly beaten for most of three quarters. The
second hand on the scoreboard was racing through its
final rounds and crowds were
gathering at the exits as Auburn,
trailing by a seven point margin
that loomed larger with each moment,
took over the ball on the
Tiger 27 yard line. Suddenly the
offense caught fire, moving the
ball in eight plays across the Maroon
goal line. A pass, Cheatham
to Faulk, scored the touchdown.
The tie enabled Auburn to carry
a clean slate into battle with
Southern Methodist's Mustangs
this Saturday at Dallas.
Mississippi State went ahead
before five minutes of the first
period had elapsed, scoring on a
pass, Johnson to Craig, from the
21 yard stripe. A kick from off
the side of Dick McGowen's foot
had given the Maroons possession
on the Auburn 48. Tullos and
Johnson ran to the 21, where
Johnson stepped back and threw
to the eight yard line. Craig hauled
the ball down and plunged
across for the score. Dees place-kicked
the extra point and the
Maroons led, 7-0.
Auburn power so visible at New
Orleans was latent throughout
the first three quarters. A Bulldog
line that had previously allowed
but four yards to two opponents
swept in to break up plays
before they were plays. So effectively
were Auburn backs bottled
up that not a single first down
was gained until midway in the
third period. Little chance was
given for any opening up of the
Tiger offenses, as booming kicks
from Johnson and Bruce set the
Plainsmen deep in their own territory
time after time. McGowen,
Deal, and Irby matched State's
best in the kicking department,
but the ever alert Maroons took
every advantage to keep Auburn
in a position where anything but
straight football was almost impossible.
In the fourth quarter with Bill
Yearout, A u b u r n ' s sophomore
sensation, slicing through the line
for sizeable gains, the Tigers
drove to the State 26 but bogged
down there when a pass, Yearout
to Cremer, failed by a yard to
give a first down.

With time running out fast McGowen
returned Bruce's kick from
the Auburn 12 to the 27 to set the
stage for the comeback. The Tigers
held at a complete stop for
fifty-seven minutes, faced defeat
unless a miracle could carry them
24 yards per minute through a
team boasting the nation's best
defensive record.
McGowen's pass to Wendling
was incomplete. Wendling shot
over the left side of the line and
twisted his way 20 yards to the
47. McGowen took a nine yard
pass from Cheatham as he fell to
the ground, completing the pass
by mere inches. Rufus Deal, the
human earthquake, blasted through
left tackle for 12 yards, then lost
three on the following play. It
was his first loss of the season.
Cheatham leaped high and passed
to McGowen for nine more yards.
On the play which he used to
score against Howard, Cheatham
took the ball and sneaked around
right end, then cut back to the
middle, running to the 10 before
he was pulled down. Cheatham
shot a pass across the goal to
Teedie Faulk, who gathered in the
ball a split second before he stepped'
backwards out of the end
zone. Dick McGowen tied the
score with his sixth consecutive
conversion.
State, stunned by the'lightninglike
Tiger thrust, made a desperate
attempt that came within
inches of nullifying the Auburn
score. Johnson, from the 30, unleashed
a 46 yard heave to John
Black, who, incidentally, steps off
the 100 yard dash in 9.8. Black
jumped high to pull down the ball
and turned goalward with a clear
field, but was unable to keep his
footing due to the jar received in
the scramble for the ball with an
Auburn back.
Buddy Elrod, with no exceptions,
was the best football player
on the field. His defensive work
was the spark behind the State
line that held Auburn at a stop.
Harvey Johnson, the State halfback,
was the outstanding running

Kentucky Rallies to

Mississippi's Rebels took over
the top place in Southeastern Conference
standings and threw the
proverbial wrench into Georgia's
homecoming festivities as they
punched out a 28-14 win over the
Georgia Buldogs in Athens Saturday.
In beating the best Georgia
prospect in years the Reb's, featuring
the running of Junie Hovi-ous
and Merle Hapes, scored 21
points in the second quarter and
held off a second half Bulldog
rush to win at a walk.
In the third conference battle
of the day, which paralleled almost
to the detail the Auburn-
State game, Kentucky, behind,
7-0, since the first quarter, came
from behind with two minutes to
play and drove 43 yards to score
and tie Vanderbilt's Commodores.
As in the Tiger-Bulldog fracas,
Vanderbilt had grabbed a 7-0 lead
early in the game.
Southeastern grid prestige took

Jim Lenior and Lloyd Cheatham, above, end and quarterback
respectively, were major factors in Auburn's thrilling tie-game
against Mississippi State's Maroons in Birmingham last Saturday.
Lenoir's great defensive work stamped him as a possible starter.

in the last minute of play. /
Auburn's Freshman Team Will Tackle
Georgia's Bullpups Here Saturday
Frosh Have Defeated
Florida in Only Game
Auburn's freshman team will
meet Georgia's Bullpups here Saturday
in the Auburn Stadium at
2 p.m. Students may attend the
game by presenting their ticket
books at the gate. A large crowd
is expected for the game as the
varsity squad will be in Dallas,
playing SMU, on that day.
Under the tutelage of Coaches
Bobbie Blake and Walter Gilbert,
the rats have shown much promise
this season. In their first and only
contest this year the frosh conquered
Florida's Baby 'Gators by
a score of 9-0.
The Georgia team under Coach
Howell Hollis will be a tough assignment
for the frosh. Last season,
the Bullpups averaged a
point-a-minute during their season
and show promise of another
strong team this year. The Georgia
rats have played one game
this season, conquering South
Carolina's Biddies 20-0.
Stars for the Georgia include
Gus Letchas, Jerry Nunnally,
Clyde Earhardt, and Dick Mc-
Phee in the backfield.
Starring in the Florida contest
for the Auburn freshman team
were Buck Jenkins and Jim Bar-ganier
at the halfback slots and
Donald Wilkes at the fullback
post.
The rats will play two other
games this season. On Nov. 11,
they play the Georgia Tech freshmen
here and later in the season
they will battle the Howard College
Bullpups at Legion Field in
Birmingham, in a game which will
donate the proceeds to charity.
