Students Leave for Columbus to See Tiaer-'Gator Tilt Tomorrow Christmas Holidays Are Extended; Will Include New Year's Christmas holidays for Auburn have been extended to include New Year's Day, according to an announcement this morning by President L. N. Duncan. Classes will be excused beginning with the student's last class on Thursday, December 19, and classes will resume with the student's first class on January 2. To explain further, when a student has completed all of his classes on December 19, he is excused for the holidays; and when the student's first class meets on January 2, the student should be present once again, ready for regular work. Jane Green to Lead Annual Mitec Dance With Fred Henning The Mitec's, cooperative engineering society, will have their annual dance tonight from 9 to 12 p.m. at Graves Center. Fred Henning, president of Mitec, and Jane Green of Birmingham will lead the dance. Guests who will attend the dance includes President L. N. Duncan, Deans Wilmore and Han-num of the School of Engineering, Colonel John J. Waterman and Dean Rosa Lee Walston. Music will be provided by the Auburn Plainsmen who are playing daily at the College Inn. Alpha Epsilon Delta Views Medical Movies At Regular Meeting Two movies were viewed by the Pre-Med Club at a meeting held Monday night, which was sponsored by the local chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta. The films shown were "The Influence of Drugs on Gastrointestinal Motility" and "The Anatomy of the Abdominal Wall." A majority of the students in pre-med were present at the meeting. Membership certificates to Alpha Epsilon Delta were awai'ded Monday night to several members, by E. W. Jordan, president of the honorary pre-medical society. Ag Engineer Society Shows Film Monday "The River,'' a sound motion picture produced by Peree Lorenz for the United States Department of Agriculture will be presented by the local chapter of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers next Monday night at 7 o'clock in Duncan Hall auditorium. Students, faculty, and townspeople are cordially invited to attend the showing of this production which depicts the ravages and devastating results of allowing a river to run uncontrolled. The film is centered around the rivers that empty into the Mississippi River which in turn enters the Gulf of Mexico. An outstanding feature of the picture concerns the dam and power projects at the Tennessee Valley Project, and the efforts made there to control erosion with proper control of the river. Engineers Will Hear Dean Hannum Monday Night at 7 It was announced last night that an Engineer's seminar will be held Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. in Langdon Hall. Dean J. E. Hannum will speak to the engineers on "Engineering in Ancient Times". The seminar will be held for all freshman and sophomore engineering students. Auburn Householders 'Hope' Fills Students Minds as Tigers Seek to Get Back on the Victory Track It's off to the wars again as the injured Tiger licks his wounds and snarls at the thought of battling with an alligator. And the Tiger's faithful followers prepare to go to the battle with the spirit that has always led the Plains Cat through thick and thin, through victory and defeat. The Tigers of Auburn meet the 'Gators of Florida in a Southeastern Conference battle that promises plenty of fireworks at Memorial Stadium in Columbus, Ga., tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Most sports writers are picking Florida to win over the Plainsmen, but students are "hoping" that once again the dope bucket will be upset. This will be next to the last game that the Tigers will play and although they have not been up to par this season, it is expected that at least 12,000 persons will be on hand to witness the clash. For the second time of the season | Auburn will perform in Memorial I Stadium. At the last game, the Auburn-Georgia classic, many of the people had trouble locating seats because of the absence of ushers. But the spectators at tomorrow's game need not worry about finding their seats as the students of the two Columbus high schools will be on hand to serve as ushers. They have already studied the layout of the stadium and will be well prepared to act as ushers. At the beginning of the season the students of Auburn did not expect to see the clash between the Tigers and the Alligators as the game was scheduled to be played in Gainesville, Florida. However, the scene of the battle-to- be was changed to Columbus and the loss to the students of the University of Florida was the gain of the local students. Last week Auburn received their worst beating of the year and some of the Tigers are not in their best condition, but that will not keep the interest of the Auburn fans from soaring as Auburn has always been noted for their ability to upset the prophecies of the nation's sports writers. The team will leave by bus tomorrow morning for the Columbus game. The band is also scheduled to make the trip, but it was not known as the paper went to press this morning whether or not a parade would be held prior to the game. A pep rally was held yesterday afternoon in Langdon Hall, and the famous Auburn Spirit did not seem to be dimmed by three defeats in the last four games. All six of Auburn's cheerleaders will be on hand at the game tomorrow. Auburn Glee Club Will Sing Sunday In Capitol City Barnett Sends Out Call For More Tenors for Musical Organization The Auburn Glee Club's first appearance of the year will be before the People's Bible Class at the Empire Theatre, Montgomery, Sunday morning when a special Auburn Day program will be presented by the Club beginning at 9:30 a.m. Also appearing on the program will be Pres.

Their music is new, different, and dance-able. A great violinist with a brilliant classical background, Jan Savitt has injected his tremendous background into modern music, with the result, a grand, top ranking, and in-demand orchestra. The band is featured over the three major networks, NBC, CBS, and Mutual. Featured with the top-hatters is Allen De Witt, vocalist. Appearances at such famous dance spots as the Lincoln Hotel, New York; College Inn, Hotel Sherman, Chicago; Paramount, New York; Chicago Theatre, Chicago; Palace Theatre, Cleveland; and Buffalo Theatre, Buffalo, have established records for the Top- Hatters that have been marks for all orchestras in the country to try for. Savitt is playing this week-end for the Homecoming Dances at the University of Georgia. Last year he was featured at the Mid-Winter hops at Georgia Tech. Announcements will be made at early date in regards to prices of tickets, number of dances, house parties, and decorations, according to Deming. Deming announced late l a st night that Jan Savitt and his Top- Hatters had been signed to play for the Junior Prom on January 30, 31 and February 1.

If they have any doubt as whether they have received their grades or not, they should go by the dean's office at once to make A TO's Show Power in Crushing PiKA s, /6-0, on Drake Field SPE-ATO Battle Will Decide Champion By J. O. BRYAN, IV Alpha Tau Omega trampled the Pi Kappa Alpha football team yesterday afternoon on Drake Field, 18 to 0, in a game that may have gone a long way toward deciding the winner of the inter-fraternity tournament. This defeat was the second of the semi-finals for the PiKA's who were beaten once before by the ATO's 7-0. Leading the tourney at present is the SPE team, who won a technical victory of 1 to 0 over the ATO's last week, after tying them 0 to 0 once before. The SPE's earned their extra point by gaining more yardage than the ATO's in an overtime period in a second 0 to 0 tie. The Alpha Tau's, contenders for the championship, will meet the SPE's again next week, to determine the tournament winner. will be officially awarded the in-terfraternity council trophy as campus champions. If the ATO's win, however, the two teams will have to play off their tie in another game. This is the second intermural season in which the ATO team has not been scored on. They lost the trophy last year to the Delta Sigs, after an overtime decision., Yesterday's ATO-PiKA game was, except in the punting department, all ATO. The PiKA's punting average was good for 40.8 yards,-to the 34 of the ATO's. The ATO's were too busy scoring to punt.

ATO opened fire by scoring in the first 3 minutes of the fray. They tallied again in the second and finally in the fourth quarter. The PiKA's only scoring thrust was stopped by time. They carried the ball down into ATO territory on successive passes as the half ended. The Alpha Tau passing combination, Carter to Kieffer, was exceptionally good. They completed one touchdown pass and passed to set up another of the three tallys. ATO end Eddie Taylor played an exceptionally good defense for his team, starring with his blocking. Standouts in the PiKA back-field were Reed, Brown and Henry. Reed stopped two ATO scoring thrusts with pass interceptions. Stone wall of the PiKA line was Snead Thaggard. Statistics show 10 first downs for the ATO's and 4 for the Pi KA's.

Member Associated Cb0e6iale Press Distributor of GDlle6iateDi6est Don't Get the Big Head, Boys Some time ago we wrote an editorial to the coeds about "getting the big head" because of the greater number of boys than girls at Auburn. We now turn our thoughts to the boys, under the same title, but for a different reason. To the freshmen and sophomores who are just getting into the swing of things at Auburn, this might be a creed, to the juniors and seniors who have been here for a longer time, this might be advice, well-meaning advice. An ambitious student, when entering college, sets for himself certain goals to reach, certain activities to participate in. Some of these students enter politics, others merely join every organization for which they are eligible for membership, and still others strive for the top of the roster in scholastic achievements. The student is well-meaning, earnest and sincere in the first two years of his stay in college. Probably beginning about the third year, though, the student sometimes begins to feel his "importance". "He feels that the organizations to which he belongs, "just couldn't get along without him". He decides that since he is such a great politician and the champion of "the student's rights", he will enter the race for one of the "big" student offices. He feels sure that since he has served two or three years in these important student " offices, there is nothing left for the student body to do but elect him once again, because what other student would be as capable as him? And so beginning in his junior year the student decides that he should hold important offices in all the organizations to which he belongs, that this is essential to the welfare and progress of the club. Why, after all, hadn't he been the "guiding light" in these organizations for the past two years? Also this student decides that he should hold some of the "important" offices in the senior class for the next year. And so begins his political campaign. He learns the names of all of his fellow classmen, and speaks to them everywhere he sees them, even going out of his way at times to let "the boys" know that he knows them and that he is a candidate for such and such an office. His fellow classmen, being often misled by such manifestations of friendliness, begin to say that "this is the fellow we want" for that office for which he is a candidate. And so this super-ambitious student becomes president or vice-president of several organizations, he is duly elected to fill the esteemed position as one of the "important" student officials. Subsequently, he is elected to membership by one or two or three or even more of the big honor societies. Of course, this even further raises his idea of his own importance. And then the change which has been taking place for some time now, begins to show up in the manner, talk, and character of this student. Since he is already elected, and since he has made all the "honors" that can be made, this student decides that he does not have to speak to his fellow classmen any longer. This is useless. Soon his "superiority complex" is evident to all of those who know him. A manner of conceit enters into his bearing. "After all," thinks he, evidently, "look who I am, look at what I have done, look at the honors I have, look at me, J'm really somebody around this campus. Come on, girls, call me up for dates when I don't have anything else to do. After all, I'm a "big shot" around this place." The attitude of his fellow classmen that was once so friendly toward this student makes an abrupt about-face. Decent students do not wish to associate with this "big shot" any longer. Decent students want to associate with real, down-to-earth students, students who are just "plain people". And thus it is that this so-called "big shot" is shut in among a certain group, composed of other such "big shots" as himself. This small group, smug in their conceit, think that they "run the college". But if they only knew what other students think of them, and what little worth they actually are, both to the college and their fellow classmen, perhaps their ego would be deflated just a little. Perhaps the props would fall out from under them and they would hit the bottom with a resounding crash. We call Auburn the "friendliest college in the United States". And we still maintain this statement. But the lovliest village would be even more friendly if these so-called "big shots" that couldn't control their ambitions and keep their ego from soaring to the skies, would come down to earth, and just be "one of the boys". We hope that the freshmen and sophomores at Auburn will profit by this word. We hope that the juniors who are on the verge of having such a calamity overtake them, will stop and think about the situation a while. We are afraid that the seniors who have acquired such an egotistical attitude and a "superiority complex" are beyond hope of saving. But if they've got the guts that it takes to be real men, they can climb down off their "high horse" and be plain Auburn students once again, and let their ego go to the devil. It's a great thing for a student to be ambitious—but it's too bad when he lets his ego "get the best of him." Dresses for Dances — Informal vs. Formal Recently we overheard a conversation between several Auburn coeds, during the course of which one of the young ladies remarked, "It makes me mad for the girls to have to wear evening dresses to dances, where the boys just wear suits. I don't mind when they're wearing tux' or tails, but these "informal" dances where the girls have to wear formal dresses just aren't right!" We wholeheartedly agree with that coed. She seems to be expressing the attitude of the majority of girls on the campus. Of course, there are girls who just seem to get a big kick out of dressing up in evening dresses on the slightest provocation, but evidently they are exceptions. Most of the ones who have expressed their opinions on the matter to us think just as that first coed did — that it "just ain't right." We hardly think that to change this unfair system of semi-formality would take an official decree by the Executive Council, or a petition by the students— it's too simple a matter for any such complicated a procedure. The reasonable solution seems to be, if indeed the girls on the campus do resent having to wear evening dresses to informal dances, that they should change the system themselves. All they have to do is to pass the word around the coed grapevine that they're not wearing formal dresses to any of the dances in question — and the matter would be partially settled. Organizations which are giving such dances could of course stipulate in their dance bids or announcements that the dance would be strictly informal. If these two precautions were taken — things would probably work out so that any girl coming to an "informal" dance in an evening gown would feel as out of place as caviar in Mulligan stew as indeed she should. Emily Post would probably back us up in this statement—that, if a dance is to be formal, boys should wear dress suits— tuxedoes or tails—if it is to be informal (and informality in this part of the country implies suits, and not tux or tails), then girls should not wear evening dresses. B. A. CAMPUS CAMERA PI ains Talk By HERBERT MARTIN General Delivery By REDDING SUGG Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer and are not to be construed as the editorial policies of this paper. One of the most vulnerable parts of totalitarianism may be found in its inability to sustain with composure ridicule or even good-natured fun. Totalitarianism is deadly, as we have all remarked; and in the end it is quite possible that it will die from taking itself with such deadly seriousness. In all the masses of Gei-many it would be astonishing, nay impossible, to hear even one giggle at Hitler's mustache. Likewise in Italy Mussolini's strong resemblance to an English bull dog arouses no merriment. It is left' for our modified democracy to laugh and lighten the burdens of the world. * * * In Charlie Chaplin's recently released movie, "The Dictator," there is one particularly amusing scene in which Hitler and Mussolini—so thinly disguised in the movie that we may as well call a spade a spade—are found sitting in adjoining barber chairs in Hitler's private tonsorial parlor. Neither wishes to be on a level with or below his rival, so one of them cranks his chair up a few inches. The other retaliates with a few more inches. They continue their plays for prestige until they both crack their skulls on the ceiling * * * Here I want to present a different version of the scene, taking advantage of the ancient rhyme about the owl in the barber shop. Hitler is being shaved by an omniscent barber whom he does not recognize as God. On the cabinet in front of him stands an owl labeled Democracy, which is God's pet. Hitler disapproves of the taxidermy, criticising the job while the barber maintains discreet silence. "That owl up there," Said the man in the chair, "Is stuffed wrong, I do declare. See the feet—wrong size! Wrong feathers, wrong eyes." And the barker kept on shaving. And then, when the man in the chair got through, The owl hopped off its perch and flew— And the barber kept on shaving. * * * You will hardly find a more enchanting group of people than the characters in "The Family," by Nina Fedorova. The Family are White Russians exiled in Tientsin, China, where they are gaining a bare livelihood from a boarding house when the Sino-Japanese war begins. Granny, a noblewoman who has seen three generations of her family swallowed up in war and who suffered the cruelties of the Revolution, is the lodestone of the Family's spirit. Madame Militza, a "scientific fortune teller" who has fallen upon evil days because of excessive honesty, and Mrs. Par-rish, an English lady who has taken to the bottle, are but two of the Family's boarders. The Family has a great capacity for enlarging its circle; for besides the people in the book whom it adopts, it will adopt you as well. And I am sure you will never regret the adoption. * * * I hope Henry Ford was remembered with something besides car sales on Thanksgiving. He and his enterprises are responsible for what in my opinion is the most magnificent program on the American radio. The Ford Sunday Evening Hour, which comes at eight o'clock, gets my bow for slipping in a little beauty among the war-newscasts. Clothes make the man, only sometimes they unmake him. Being a slave of fashion is often hard on the folks without movie-idol figures. These long coats which drape near the knees — well, if you're short they shorten you and if you are long they stretch you. Which leaves the smug movie idols even smugger. * * * G. K. Chesterton wrote his books, I feel sure, with an eye to their being quoted. One of his neatly packaged paradoxes might help wake you up in class sometime: "The bore, by his starry enthusiasm, . . . his solemn happiness, may . . . have proved himself poetical. The bored has certainly proved himself prosaic." It hasn't worked on me, but maybe your skin is thinner than mine. Plainsman Forum Letters to the Editor The Plainsman Dear Editor: It is indeed with grievous heart that I write this letter. However, it explains the facts that I feel Auburn should know. Several nights ago while on one of Auburn's main streets, a young boy walked up to me and explained that he was on his way to another city where he had been promised a job. It seems that luck had been against him and by chance he had eaten some spoiled food from a can. He looked worried and wanted to know if I could tell him where he could get some medicine. He carefully explained to me that he was absolutely penniless. I, feeling sure that the boy would be given whatever medicine was deemed necessary, proudly directed him to our new infirmary. He immediately started toward the hospital. A few minutes later I decided that since he was a total stranger here, he might not locate our htindred thousand dollar infirmary, so I followed along behind him. He found the infirmary all right, and went in. I watched him through the front door. It was just a little on my soft side to see Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer and are not to be construed as the editorial policies of this paper. And so it's on to Columbus, with the Florida 'Gators as the main course of the afternoon, and they do say that things look pretty gloomy in the Tiger camp this week. In fact, they say worse things than that. But they don't really mean it. They know that Florida whupped Tech 16 to 7, but what the (censored), we did too. We don't have much to lose by taking a few chances tomorrow, and we have a little personal revenge to gain over a reptile which was rather ill-mannered at Homecoming last year, so a high score is the logical prediction. We forecast . . . Auburn 53, Florida 6, but we wouldn't bet on it. * * - We really get our kicks, and don't take that too literally, from the emphasis on socks evidenced by dormitory inmates. Anyone who thinks he can predict, with any degree of accuracy, just what any given coed will put in her shoes at any specified date in the future (besides feet, of course) would agree that we'll win all football games in the future by a score of 53 to 6. * * # Designers drug bottom when they began cutting up towels to make fuzzy socks, but they really scooped up some sediment when they, with an eye on the Highlanders, and a bagpipe tune in their heads, came up with these colloquial garments of the Scottish hill country. * * * When one or two young ladies appeared before upraised eyebrows in these brilliant red or green Boy Scout length socks, or, perhaps, as they're really neither, sockings, they caused some disturbance, no little tumult, clamor, and cries of anguish, and a death of that little thing caused taste in dressing. Or so we thought. Other lads did too. But the ladies. Ah-h-h, us, the ladies thought different. They loved the cunning sockings. They thought they were stunning, attractive (!), that indefinable thing called "cute", and last, and more practical, warm. We bow to the inevitable, but, we think it might be well to let this end there. Please, girls, young ladies, and the influences thereof, don't let this be a field for growth of ideas of color maniacs. Never dare to step out in sockings of more than one color. Don't proudly present sockings in ~J checks, stripes, or louder designs. We beg of you, don't let this pestilence fall upon the Auburn campus. In the words of our noble editor, God forbid that it should do so! * * * There's an editorial in this issue (those things on the left-hand side of this page) having to do with the length of raiment worn by girls at our so-called formal dances. Our first thought is to go on record as saying that we like the idea of cutting the length, and the shorter they cut them the better we'll like them, but that thought is a trifle vulgar for a newspaper of this type. Sudden thought: But it didn't used to be like that! * * * But we've done some more thinking. We still think it's up to the ladies. If they like to let themselves in for the trouble of wearing the longer garments, plus the pleasure of receiving a fair percentage of floral offerings from proud escorts, we think that's up to them. But . . . if they think the long dresses are too much trouble, why off with their heads (the dresses') and away with the purty HI' ole blossoms. We feel sure that most males on the campus would welcome a drop in florist's bills. * * * We i-ealize that it is perfectly proper to wear corsages right smack in the front of short "dress-up" dresses, but we think the demand will be lessened in direct proportion to the lessening of dress length. That may remain to be seen. The whole think is rather farfetched, anyhoo. The day, or night, of informals is over, in the main, for quite a while. * * * KKK (Karrie, the Kampus Kounselor) kounsels, "That's a lot of words to the ladies. While you're on the subject, I'd like to say to the girls and boys . . . Must you continue to make spectacles of yourselves by hanging onto one another all over the campus in the daytime? I think such things would be much more appropriate at night, din't you?" No reflection on any particular couple,- dormitory, or group of any kind is intended, we feel sure, but perhaps we'd better ask Karrie. Karrie . . . "Certainly not!" -r-- Parade of Opinion By ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS Between bomb-blasts in London and Berlin, Americans catch glimpses of another war. Many see in the Sino-Japanese conflict far-reaching influences on the western world. In the American college press, opinions differ as to the imminence of hostilities with Japan. But continued aid to China and ever-stiffening resistence to Tokyo find vociferous support. Fact that the recently reopened Burma Road stays open is called "significant" by the University of Minnesota Daily The road, comments the Daily "symbolizes the remaining bonds between Free China and the democratic west. British reversal of policy therefore stiffened Chinese morale — and secretary Hull's overtures, which prompted the British action, strengthened Chinene faith in the United States' Far Eastern policy." American extension of credits to China is applauded by the Eastern Illinois State Teachers College News, which says: "Despite the fact that our chances of getting our money back from destitute China are slim, the loan will fur-him standing there, tired and ragged- looking.

FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE LOAN, HOWEVER, IS THE EMBARGO PUT ON SCRAP IRON . . . We furnish the market for about 75 per cent of Japan's raw silk and we still buy most of her manufactured wares. Our own industry would benefit greatly and Japan might be brought quickly to her knees if a boycott was placed on her merchandise." At Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Tech concludes that "although the attendant risk is heightened, the steps we have taken in the east ought not to be revoked. This aggressive policy, of course, slices our security in the east. The Phillippines are still highly vulnerable and the position of Americans in China becomes more perilous. Apart from these conditions, however, no major risk is involved." More concerned is the Daily Northwestern. "There can be no doubt," declares this publication, "that a situation is fast developing in the east which could very possibly end in war with Japan. It certainly means that we have abandoned any pretense of neutrality in the Sino-Japanese struggle. It also means that we are perhaps closer to war today than we have been since 1918 " Wisconsin's Daily Cardinal be-lieves recent developments indicate that "the seemingly inevitable conflict with Japan may be transformed from a long, costly, possibly futile naval war into a matter of economic pressures skillfully applied.

Miss Loy plays a magazine editor who, because her boss' wife is jealous, invents a mythical husband whom she's supposed to be trying to find to get a divorce. The deception is perfect until Douglas, who has learned about it and is in love with her, blandly shows up and assumes the role of the missing spouse. Her family likes him. She doesn't—and proceeds to keep him in all manner of trials and tribulations. She scandalizes Ni-agra Falls on their "honeymoon." He invites another couple to join them in a "double honeymoon." Her attorney plans ways and means of getting her a divorce so that he can marry her himself. " And all three start towards Reno together. But after all the laugh-packed troubles they go through, Myrna and Melvyn find they've really been in love with each other all along. The cast includes Lee Bowman, latest discovery in leading men, as the attorney. Raymond Walburn is seen as Miss Loy's father. Donald Meek, eccentric apiarist and detective in the Nick Carter series, plays an equally eccentric and comical art dealer. Felix Bres-sart, of "Ninotchka" and "Shop Around the Corner" fame, adds more laughs to the situations as the art editor who helps Myrna in her deceptions. Bonita Granville, erstwhile child actress, plays her first sub-deb role as Miss Loy's very active younger sister. Ann Morriss and other featured players unite to keep the comedy pot boiling at full steam. Helen Jordan to Act as Mistress of Ceremonies A gala affair will be staged in Alumni Gymnasium on Saturday night, December 14 with the initial opening of the WAA Night Club. Mistress of Ceremonies will be Helen Jordan, senior representative of WAA. A floor show in the form of an amateur contest will be the main feature of the evening's program and favors of hats, horns, and balloons will be given to those attending the first performance. A roulette wheel and other prize winning amusements are features to be enjoyed. Any group or individual who desires to enter the amateur contest may sign up in the Intramural Sports Office in the Alumni Gym. A prize of $2.00 will be awarded to the winner. Refreshments may be obtained at tables while double tag dancing will be in order on the floor. This is the first time this form of dancing has been sponsored on the API campus and it is expected to be very popular. Both girls and boys will be able to cut in. The admission to the show will be 25c for couples and 15c for stags. Proceeds from this project will go to Sphinx to aid in building the recreational cabin for girls. Other shows will be announced whenever a time and building is available.

The military might of Japan is at a stalemate. On the other hand, for the tens of millions of the Chinese people who are directly involved in this invasion the condition is tragic.

Smith Walked and Walked - Stepping Off Penalties Against Those Tigers Game Will Be Played In Columbus Stadium Alligators Rule Favorites for Memorial Stadium Clash; Injured Plainsmen Ready By JOHN PIERCE, Sports Editor With the old injury jinx still their most faithful follower, the Auburn Tigers tomorrow afternoon return to the Southland, taking the field at Columbus' Memorial Stadium against the up and coming Florida Gators in the grudge battle that annually closes out Southeastern Conference play for both teams. A sudden upswing that has seen the Floridians snap back from early season lambastings to take four of their last five games will send them The Origin of Auburn's Penalties is Related By JOHN PIERCE, Sports Editor There has been a lot of talk running around as to just where and when Auburn first started this business of combining an eleven game football schedule with a cross country excursion. I will go briefly into the matter, but errors in fact must not be attributed to me. They all came from a friend who claims to be in the know about the whole thing. If anyone tries to pull this stuff about Auburn first playing football in 1892 don't believe them. The Tigers first played .at the sport in the preceding year, 1891, but have not been recorded in the school annals for the obvious reasons to be disclosed here. The Plainsmen of that year started out the season in fairly sensible fashion, playing a game in Montgomery one day and one in Columbus the next. These short trips naturally became boring after about the first five encounfr ers, so the only thing left as a medium was a few longer jaunts. First of these jaunts took the boys to New York, and the new settings so appealed to them that a trek into Ohio was planned forthwith. This trip was even better, and the Plainsmen headed for Iowa. So it went—Iowa, New Mexico, Florida, Texas, Maine, and California, playing two or three games a week. By this time the travel zeal was a burning passion. The team played in California and took a boat for China. It was last seen two years later playing somewhere in Australia, but there all records vanish. And that seems to be the whole story. One more thing that is a question of foremost interest to Au-burnites. This business of the of- They're Glad To Eat This! Ice Cream contains essential vitamins vital to body building. And children love to eat this delicious food! It's a hit with everyone. f Fountain Treat Sundae with two scoops of Black Walnut Fudge Froze-Rite Ice Cream FROZE • RITE ICE CREAM ficials — Where was Auburn assessed its first penalty? Interest in this matter is %nly natural, what with the Tigers averaging 400 yards per game by penalties. Well, it was back in the early part of the century, my friend tells me. A referee, whom we will sail Smith for reasons still vital in these parts, watched an Auburn back heave a 75 yard pass and called the play back. Hlegal use of the hands he said. Fifteen yards. Another play came up and another penalty went down. And Smith began to take a fancy to this penalty business. To skip the details, Smith walked all over the field that day. His performance was so effortless, so graceful, and so entirely indicative of the true blue referee that the Boy Scouts ran out after the game and cornered him, then pinned a Merit Badge on him for having completed his fourteen mile hike. Smith accepted modestly and walked out the main gate onto highway 60. He was seen months later walking through Butte, Montana with a ball under his arm, counting off yards. Here Smith disappears from all trace. It is believed that he was later found and returned to the U.S. If you see a guy walking along the highway painting a yellow line, chances are it will be Smith. Manuel Gonda, freshman engineering student at University of Texas from Asuncion, Paraguay, must translate his texts as he studies them. "Parnassus," magazine of the College Art Association of America, is now being published at the University of Iowa. University of Minnesota recently dedicated a new museum of natural history. into the game as even choices to knock over a Plainsman eleven plagued since late in October with casualties to key positions. While Auburn last week was undergoing its most severe beating in years the Gators were winning their third straight, whipping Georgia Tech by the identical score of the Auburn-Tech game, 116-7. Coach Tom Lieb stepped into the shoes of last year's Gator mentor, Josh Cody, early in the season with little prospect of building a gridiron power out of a squad hindered for the past few years by dissension caused by clubhouse lawyers. The citrus prodigies, however, after absorbing two pretty thorough beatings early in the season have snapped back to knock off Georgia, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Miami, as well as throw the biggest scare of the season into Tennessee's Vols before losing, 0-14. The game, in fact, was so close that the Vols dropped any idea of future grid engagements with them like a hot potato. Writers now make no bones of electing Florida the surprise team of the conference. There are four or five main reasons why the Gators are going. Probably reason number one is Capt. Mush Batista, left guard and bulwark of a line that stands high in the South for its defensive solidity against running attacks. Mush was the ringleader of the mob .who last year came north and messed up Auburn's stadium dedication ceremonies with a 7-7 tie with the Tigers and so far there haven't been any indications that Mush is asleep this year. Also to be remembered from 1939 are backs Tommy Harrison, Pat Reen, and Charlie Tate, who ran all over Auburn Stadium last year and haven't slowed down since. Ask any of the teams they've played. Another member of the all around backfield is soph Fondren Mitchell, primarily noted for uncanny pass snatching. And ah yes!—Here is another end. Auburn has seen Goldman and Elrod and Golomb and Goss and Ison and Skipworth and Blalock and Goodreault, but the flankers still keep coming. This time it's Forrest Furgerson, one of Dixie's top defensive ends and now battling in the front lines for posts on the 'all' selections which are at present running wild. Throw this crew into the Florida lineup alongside such notables as linemen Kenetsky, Lane, and Robinson, and it's not hard to see why so many are picking the Gators to annex their third conference win: The Plainsmen have forgotten last Saturday's nightmare and their workouts have been spirited despite the necessity of shifting players to plug up gaps here and there. In the event that Ty Irby, sophomore fullback, has not sufficiently come around from his L.S. U. knee injury there may be a backfield shift that will see Lloyd Cheatham playing fullback while Buddy McMahan moves into the regular signal calling position, with Dick McGowen and Bud Wendling staying at their regular halfback posts. This combination was tested fairly successfully against Boston and has been a feature of the week's practices. If such a lineup does start Jim Reynolds will be the Texas Aggies and Minnesota Ranked First by Williamson and AP Raters INGRAM'S BREAD "Once Tasted — Never Wasted" INGRAM'S BAKERY OPELIKA Welcome to Columbus . .

Carl Happer and Bill Year-out, halfbacks-, remain on the doubtful list with knee and ankle injuries. Harkins has moved into the left halfback slot vacated by Yearout and doubtless Clarence will break into play frequently as Dick McGowen's understudy. Aside from the absence of Jim LeNoir, definitely out, the same line that started last week is on tap for Florida. It will consist of Samford and Faulk, or Cremer, ends; McClurkin and Bulger, tackles; Mills and Ardillo, or Morris, guards; and All-SEC sophomore Tex Williams alternating at center with Ab Chrietzberg. Auburn Named No. 32 By Williamson System Minnesota, the team that earlier was given little chance of copping top honors in the Big Ten, has finished its season with a string of eight victories and the western crown. The Golden Gophers concluded their 1940 activities on the gridiron with a 22-13 win over Wisconsin and appeared almost certain to hold first place in the final Associated Press rating. It's not difficult to see why the writers adjudged the Minnesotans highly, what with victories over Washington, Nebraska, Ohio State, Iowa, Northwestern, Michigan, Purdue, and Wisconsin. Texas A. & M. stayed with the top teams, even though they were idle Saturday, holding first place in the Williamson rating and second with Associated Press.

Manning, former Auburn student, and graduate of Agricultural Education in 1934 has just been declared "Master Teacher" of Agriculture of North Carolina from 360 teachers of agriculture in that State, by Roy H. .Thomas, State Supervisor of Agricultural Education. According to Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive farmer, Manning should also qualify for "Master Teacher of the South" for the very extensive agricultural program that he has promoted in North Carolina and in the South. For his accomplishments, Manning was given a free trip with all expenses paid to the National FFA Convention and the American Royal Livestock Show in Kansas City that has recently been held. • Among the outstanding accomplishments may be listed that Manning had one of the outstanding community programs of work of the state. He conducted two even-' ing classes for adult farmers in the Dunn community where he is teaching, established a refrigeration food locker plant for fresh meats, placed approximately 50 head of beef cattle in the community, encouraged better pastures, the increase of from four to 150 head of purebred hogs, and a proper balance between livestock and crop enterprises on the farm. The Dunn chapter of FFA of which Manning is adviser won the district chapter contest. Some of the activities were the landscaping of the Dunn Postoffice, and the Dunn High School, planted 18 home nurseries, has established a complete FFA library. The group took a 2,200 mile tour to the New York World's Fair and the World's Poultry Congress in Cleveland, Ohio, and this summer took a 3,000 mile tour to Miami, Fla., and other southern states, won first place in Harnett County Fair exhibits, constructed much equipment for the new $7,000 agricultural building. Manning has one of the outstanding shop programs in the state, having developed a completely modern electrical shop and his boys build over $1,000 worth of farm furniture and equipment annually. While in Auburn, Manning won the Danforth Fellowship in 1933 given to an outstanding student in agriculture, which gave him a free five weeks tour over the central states, to St. Louis, Chicago, and Camp Minawanca, Michigan. Manning was also awarded the American Farmer degree while in Auburn and had previously served as state secretary of the Future Farmers of Alabama. Manning gives much credit to the fine faculty of API including Mr. S. L. Chestnutt, teacher trainer, Mrs. Emma Cary, wife of the late Dr. Cary, dean of veterinary medicine, with whom Manning worked to earn his way through Auburn, and to Dr. Duncan, who inspired him with encouraging words. Manning's home is at Maples-ville, Alabama, but has been in North Carolina since his graduation from Auburn in 1934. Mark A. Smith Smith is president of Kiwanis International.

Dick McGowen Named On All-Southeastern Rufus Deal Wins Second Team Place Auburn's C a p t a i n Dynamite Dick McGowen was named to the backfield of the annual Associated Press All-Southeastern team for 1940, it was learned here this morning. Other backfield stars included in the first team selection included Jimmy Nelson of Alabama, Bob Foxx of Tennessee, and John Ho-vius of Mississippi. Said the Associated Press in selecting McGowen: "McGowen, whose standout play made him the most valuable player in Auburn's star-studded backfield, was an easy winner of the fourth back-field spot on the all-conference team. A punter, passer and place-kicker, as well as a runner, he was described by many coaches as "a great all-purpose back." McGowen was one of the repeaters from the 1939 all-conference eleven. Rufus Deal, Auburn's pile-driving fullback, who has been out of action most of the season with a broken arm, was selected as number three back on the third team. It was stated that Deal would have probably made the first team had he not been injured early in the season. Several Tigers made honorable mention, in fact Auburn placed as many or more men on honorable mention than any other conference eleven. Plainsmen ends Jim Lenoir and Jim Samford were recorded this rating. At tackles, the Tigers placed five men, Chet Bulger, Gordon McEachern, John Chalkley, Jim McClurkin, and Joe Eddins. Ernie Mills, alternate-captain, was the only Tiger to receive honorable mention for the guard position. Tex Williams, sophomore center was accorded honorable mention for that position. In the backfield these Auburn players were included for the honorable mention roster: L l o yd Cheatham, Bill Yearout, and Ty Irby. Tennessee and Alabama each placed three men on the first team, Mississippi State placed two, and Vanderbilt, Mississippi and Auburn each placed one on the mythical squad. Glee Club (Continued from page 1) Alabama and Florida have been made. It is expected that the club will include Mobile, Tallahassee, Fla., and perhaps Miami will be included in the tour.

Although he is only a sophomore, he has gained wide recognition. He was named on the AP All-Star Soph team for the Southeastern Conference this week. McGowen Leading Auburn Scoring Fourteen Men on Team Have Tallied Points Though suffering their worst defeat in a decade at the hands of Boston College last Saturday, the Tigers scored in the last five seconds of play to continue their record of scoring in every game this year, nine games thus far. However, it was the second game this season in which the Plainsmen scored only one touchdown. Captain Dick McGowen continued to lead the Tigers in scoring, although adding only one point to his last week total. Dick now has scored 39 points and remains one of the leading scorers in the Southeastern Conference. Bill Yearout, although not scoring in the past few games still holds second place with 18 points, garnered from three touchdowns. Babe McGehee made the largest gain of the week, by scoring the Tiger's lone touchdown against B. C. McGehee's total for the year is now 12 points, as is Rufus Deal's total, but Rufe is out for the season. Other Tiger scorers who have scored one touchdown include Clarence Harkins, Lloyd Cheatham, Teedie Faulk, Jim Samford, John Chalkley, Tex Williams, Jim Reynolds, Bud Wendling, Theo Cremer, and also Buddy McMahan who has kicked one extra point after touch down. In nine games this season the Plainsmen have won four, lost four and tied one, scoring 137 points WATCHES!

The two are center Tex Williams and guard Nick Ardillo, both of whom have played as regulars since the early part of the football season. Williams is fast developing into one of the conference's ace pivot men, while Ardillo already is seriously being considered as a future candidate for other All-Conference selections. Bill was selected as the number three back on the second team of the Associated Press AH - Star Southeastern Sophomore t e am this week. Bill Yearout flash first year halfback and second ranking scorer in the Tiger camp was placed on the second all star team along with Joe Eddins, 198-pound tackle who leaped into prominence when he was called to fill the gap left by Chet Bulger during his sickness.

Duncan, Deans Wilmore and Han-num of the School of Engineering, Colonel John J. Waterman and Dean Rosa Lee Walston. Music will be provided by the Auburn Plainsmen who are playing daily at the College Inn. Alpha Epsilon Delta Views Medical Movies At Regular Meeting Two movies were viewed by the Pre-Med Club at a meeting held Monday night, which was sponsored by the local chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta. The films shown were "The Influence of Drugs on Gastrointestinal Motility" and "The Anatomy of the Abdominal Wall." A majority of the students in pre-med were present at the meeting. Membership certificates to Alpha Epsilon Delta were awai'ded Monday night to several members, by E. W. Jordan, president of the honorary pre-medical society.

Students, faculty, and townspeople are cordially invited to attend the showing of this production which depicts the ravages and devastating results of allowing a river to run uncontrolled. The film is centered around the rivers that empty into the Mississippi River which in turn enters the Gulf of Mexico. An outstanding feature of the picture concerns the dam and power projects at the Tennessee Valley Project, and the efforts made there to control erosion with proper control of the river. Engineers Will Hear Dean Hannum Monday Night at 7 It was announced last night that an Engineer's seminar will be held Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. in Langdon Hall. Dean J. E. Hannum will speak to the engineers on "Engineering in Ancient Times". The seminar will be held for all freshman and sophomore engineering students. Auburn Householders 'Hope' Fills Students Minds as Tigers Seek to Get Back on the Victory Track It's off to the wars again as the injured Tiger licks his wounds and snarls at the thought of battling with an alligator. And the Tiger's faithful followers prepare to go to the battle with the spirit that has always led the Plains Cat through thick and thin, through victory and defeat. The Tigers of Auburn meet the 'Gators of Florida in a Southeastern Conference battle that promises plenty of fireworks at Memorial Stadium in Columbus, Ga., tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Most sports writers are picking Florida to win over the Plainsmen, but students are "hoping" that once again the dope bucket will be upset. This will be next to the last game that the Tigers will play and although they have not been up to par this season, it is expected that at least 12,000 persons will be on hand to witness the clash. For the second time of the season | Auburn will perform in Memorial I Stadium. At the last game, the Auburn-Georgia classic, many of the people had trouble locating seats because of the absence of ushers. But the spectators at tomorrow's game need not worry about finding their seats as the students of the two Columbus high schools will be on hand to serve as ushers. They have already studied the layout of the stadium and will be well prepared to act as ushers. At the beginning of the season the students of Auburn did not expect to see the clash between the Tigers and the Alligators as the game was scheduled to be played in Gainesville, Florida. However, the scene of the battle-to- be was changed to Columbus and the loss to the students of the University of Florida was the gain of the local students. Last week Auburn received their worst beating of the year and some of the Tigers are not in their best condition, but that will not keep the interest of the Auburn fans from soaring as Auburn has always been noted for their ability to upset the prophecies of the nation's sports writers. The team will leave by bus tomorrow morning for the Columbus game. The band is also scheduled to make the trip, but it was not known as the paper went to press this morning whether or not a parade would be held prior to the game. A pep rally was held yesterday afternoon in Langdon Hall, and the famous Auburn Spirit did not seem to be dimmed by three defeats in the last four games. All six of Auburn's cheerleaders will be on hand at the game tomorrow. Auburn Glee Club Will Sing Sunday In Capitol City Barnett Sends Out Call For More Tenors for Musical Organization The Auburn Glee Club's first appearance of the year will be before the People's Bible Class at the Empire Theatre, Montgomery, Sunday morning when a special Auburn Day program will be presented by the Club beginning at 9:30 a.m. Also appearing on the program will be Pres.

O. BRYAN, IV Alpha Tau Omega trampled the Pi Kappa Alpha football team yesterday afternoon on Drake Field, 18 to 0, in a game that may have gone a long way toward deciding the winner of the inter-fraternity tournament. This defeat was the second of the semi-finals for the PiKA's who were beaten once before by the ATO's 7-0. Leading the tourney at present is the SPE team, who won a technical victory of 1 to 0 over the ATO's last week, after tying them 0 to 0 once before. The SPE's earned their extra point by gaining more yardage than the ATO's in an overtime period in a second 0 to 0 tie. The Alpha Tau's, contenders for the championship, will meet the SPE's again next week, to determine the tournament winner. will be officially awarded the in-terfraternity council trophy as campus champions. If the ATO's win, however, the two teams will have to play off their tie in another game. This is the second intermural season in which the ATO team has not been scored on. They lost the trophy last year to the Delta Sigs, after an overtime decision., Yesterday's ATO-PiKA game was, except in the punting department, all ATO. The PiKA's punting average was good for 40.8 yards,-to the 34 of the ATO's. The ATO's were too busy scoring to punt.

ATO opened fire by scoring in the first 3 minutes of the fray. They tallied again in the second and finally in the fourth quarter. The PiKA's only scoring thrust was stopped by time. They carried the ball down into ATO territory on successive passes as the half ended. The Alpha Tau passing combination, Carter to Kieffer, was exceptionally good. They completed one touchdown pass and passed to set up another of the three tallys. ATO end Eddie Taylor played an exceptionally good defense for his team, starring with his blocking. Standouts in the PiKA back-field were Reed, Brown and Henry. Reed stopped two ATO scoring thrusts with pass interceptions. Stone wall of the PiKA line was Snead Thaggard. Statistics show 10 first downs for the ATO's and 4 for the Pi KA's.

Member Associated Cb0e6iale Press Distributor of GDlle6iateDi6est Don't Get the Big Head, Boys Some time ago we wrote an editorial to the coeds about "getting the big head" because of the greater number of boys than girls at Auburn. We now turn our thoughts to the boys, under the same title, but for a different reason. To the freshmen and sophomores who are just getting into the swing of things at Auburn, this might be a creed, to the juniors and seniors who have been here for a longer time, this might be advice, well-meaning advice. An ambitious student, when entering college, sets for himself certain goals to reach, certain activities to participate in. Some of these students enter politics, others merely join every organization for which they are eligible for membership, and still others strive for the top of the roster in scholastic achievements. The student is well-meaning, earnest and sincere in the first two years of his stay in college. Probably beginning about the third year, though, the student sometimes begins to feel his "importance". "He feels that the organizations to which he belongs, "just couldn't get along without him". He decides that since he is such a great politician and the champion of "the student's rights", he will enter the race for one of the "big" student offices. He feels sure that since he has served two or three years in these important student " offices, there is nothing left for the student body to do but elect him once again, because what other student would be as capable as him? And so beginning in his junior year the student decides that he should hold important offices in all the organizations to which he belongs, that this is essential to the welfare and progress of the club. Why, after all, hadn't he been the "guiding light" in these organizations for the past two years? Also this student decides that he should hold some of the "important" offices in the senior class for the next year. And so begins his political campaign. He learns the names of all of his fellow classmen, and speaks to them everywhere he sees them, even going out of his way at times to let "the boys" know that he knows them and that he is a candidate for such and such an office. His fellow classmen, being often misled by such manifestations of friendliness, begin to say that "this is the fellow we want" for that office for which he is a candidate. And so this super-ambitious student becomes president or vice-president of several organizations, he is duly elected to fill the esteemed position as one of the "important" student officials. Subsequently, he is elected to membership by one or two or three or even more of the big honor societies. Of course, this even further raises his idea of his own importance. And then the change which has been taking place for some time now, begins to show up in the manner, talk, and character of this student. Since he is already elected, and since he has made all the "honors" that can be made, this student decides that he does not have to speak to his fellow classmen any longer. This is useless. Soon his "superiority complex" is evident to all of those who know him. A manner of conceit enters into his bearing. "After all," thinks he, evidently, "look who I am, look at what I have done, look at the honors I have, look at me, J'm really somebody around this campus. Come on, girls, call me up for dates when I don't have anything else to do. After all, I'm a "big shot" around this place." The attitude of his fellow classmen that was once so friendly toward this student makes an abrupt about-face. Decent students do not wish to associate with this "big shot" any longer. Decent students want to associate with real, down-to-earth students, students who are just "plain people". And thus it is that this so-called "big shot" is shut in among a certain group, composed of other such "big shots" as himself. This small group, smug in their conceit, think that they "run the college". But if they only knew what other students think of them, and what little worth they actually are, both to the college and their fellow classmen, perhaps their ego would be deflated just a little. Perhaps the props would fall out from under them and they would hit the bottom with a resounding crash. We call Auburn the "friendliest college in the United States". And we still maintain this statement. But the lovliest village would be even more friendly if these so-called "big shots" that couldn't control their ambitions and keep their ego from soaring to the skies, would come down to earth, and just be "one of the boys". We hope that the freshmen and sophomores at Auburn will profit by this word. We hope that the juniors who are on the verge of having such a calamity overtake them, will stop and think about the situation a while. We are afraid that the seniors who have acquired such an egotistical attitude and a "superiority complex" are beyond hope of saving. But if they've got the guts that it takes to be real men, they can climb down off their "high horse" and be plain Auburn students once again, and let their ego go to the devil. It's a great thing for a student to be ambitious—but it's too bad when he lets his ego "get the best of him." Dresses for Dances — Informal vs. Formal Recently we overheard a conversation between several Auburn coeds, during the course of which one of the young ladies remarked, "It makes me mad for the girls to have to wear evening dresses to dances, where the boys just wear suits. I don't mind when they're wearing tux' or tails, but these "informal" dances where the girls have to wear formal dresses just aren't right!" We wholeheartedly agree with that coed. She seems to be expressing the attitude of the majority of girls on the campus. Of course, there are girls who just seem to get a big kick out of dressing up in evening dresses on the slightest provocation, but evidently they are exceptions. Most of the ones who have expressed their opinions on the matter to us think just as that first coed did — that it "just ain't right." We hardly think that to change this unfair system of semi-formality would take an official decree by the Executive Council, or a petition by the students— it's too simple a matter for any such complicated a procedure. The reasonable solution seems to be, if indeed the girls on the campus do resent having to wear evening dresses to informal dances, that they should change the system themselves. All they have to do is to pass the word around the coed grapevine that they're not wearing formal dresses to any of the dances in question — and the matter would be partially settled. Organizations which are giving such dances could of course stipulate in their dance bids or announcements that the dance would be strictly informal. If these two precautions were taken — things would probably work out so that any girl coming to an "informal" dance in an evening gown would feel as out of place as caviar in Mulligan stew as indeed she should. Emily Post would probably back us up in this statement—that, if a dance is to be formal, boys should wear dress suits— tuxedoes or tails—if it is to be informal (and informality in this part of the country implies suits, and not tux or tails), then girls should not wear evening dresses. B. A. CAMPUS CAMERA PI ains Talk By HERBERT MARTIN General Delivery By REDDING SUGG Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer and are not to be construed as the editorial policies of this paper. One of the most vulnerable parts of totalitarianism may be found in its inability to sustain with composure ridicule or even good-natured fun. Totalitarianism is deadly, as we have all remarked; and in the end it is quite possible that it will die from taking itself with such deadly seriousness. In all the masses of Gei-many it would be astonishing, nay impossible, to hear even one giggle at Hitler's mustache. Likewise in Italy Mussolini's strong resemblance to an English bull dog arouses no merriment. It is left' for our modified democracy to laugh and lighten the burdens of the world. * * * In Charlie Chaplin's recently released movie, "The Dictator," there is one particularly amusing scene in which Hitler and Mussolini—so thinly disguised in the movie that we may as well call a spade a spade—are found sitting in adjoining barber chairs in Hitler's private tonsorial parlor. Neither wishes to be on a level with or below his rival, so one of them cranks his chair up a few inches. The other retaliates with a few more inches. They continue their plays for prestige until they both crack their skulls on the ceiling * * * Here I want to present a different version of the scene, taking advantage of the ancient rhyme about the owl in the barber shop. Hitler is being shaved by an omniscent barber whom he does not recognize as God. On the cabinet in front of him stands an owl labeled Democracy, which is God's pet. Hitler disapproves of the taxidermy, criticising the job while the barber maintains discreet silence. "That owl up there," Said the man in the chair, "Is stuffed wrong, I do declare. See the feet—wrong size! Wrong feathers, wrong eyes." And the barker kept on shaving. And then, when the man in the chair got through, The owl hopped off its perch and flew— And the barber kept on shaving. * * * You will hardly find a more enchanting group of people than the characters in "The Family," by Nina Fedorova. The Family are White Russians exiled in Tientsin, China, where they are gaining a bare livelihood from a boarding house when the Sino-Japanese war begins. Granny, a noblewoman who has seen three generations of her family swallowed up in war and who suffered the cruelties of the Revolution, is the lodestone of the Family's spirit. Madame Militza, a "scientific fortune teller" who has fallen upon evil days because of excessive honesty, and Mrs. Par-rish, an English lady who has taken to the bottle, are but two of the Family's boarders. The Family has a great capacity for enlarging its circle; for besides the people in the book whom it adopts, it will adopt you as well. And I am sure you will never regret the adoption. * * * I hope Henry Ford was remembered with something besides car sales on Thanksgiving. He and his enterprises are responsible for what in my opinion is the most magnificent program on the American radio. The Ford Sunday Evening Hour, which comes at eight o'clock, gets my bow for slipping in a little beauty among the war-newscasts. Clothes make the man, only sometimes they unmake him. Being a slave of fashion is often hard on the folks without movie-idol figures. These long coats which drape near the knees — well, if you're short they shorten you and if you are long they stretch you. Which leaves the smug movie idols even smugger. * * * G. K. Chesterton wrote his books, I feel sure, with an eye to their being quoted. One of his neatly packaged paradoxes might help wake you up in class sometime: "The bore, by his starry enthusiasm, . . . his solemn happiness, may . . . have proved himself poetical. The bored has certainly proved himself prosaic." It hasn't worked on me, but maybe your skin is thinner than mine. Plainsman Forum Letters to the Editor The Plainsman Dear Editor: It is indeed with grievous heart that I write this letter. However, it explains the facts that I feel Auburn should know. Several nights ago while on one of Auburn's main streets, a young boy walked up to me and explained that he was on his way to another city where he had been promised a job. It seems that luck had been against him and by chance he had eaten some spoiled food from a can. He looked worried and wanted to know if I could tell him where he could get some medicine. He carefully explained to me that he was absolutely penniless. I, feeling sure that the boy would be given whatever medicine was deemed necessary, proudly directed him to our new infirmary. He immediately started toward the hospital. A few minutes later I decided that since he was a total stranger here, he might not locate our htindred thousand dollar infirmary, so I followed along behind him. He found the infirmary all right, and went in. I watched him through the front door. It was just a little on my soft side to see Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer and are not to be construed as the editorial policies of this paper. And so it's on to Columbus, with the Florida 'Gators as the main course of the afternoon, and they do say that things look pretty gloomy in the Tiger camp this week. In fact, they say worse things than that. But they don't really mean it. They know that Florida whupped Tech 16 to 7, but what the (censored), we did too. We don't have much to lose by taking a few chances tomorrow, and we have a little personal revenge to gain over a reptile which was rather ill-mannered at Homecoming last year, so a high score is the logical prediction. We forecast . . . Auburn 53, Florida 6, but we wouldn't bet on it. * * - We really get our kicks, and don't take that too literally, from the emphasis on socks evidenced by dormitory inmates. Anyone who thinks he can predict, with any degree of accuracy, just what any given coed will put in her shoes at any specified date in the future (besides feet, of course) would agree that we'll win all football games in the future by a score of 53 to 6. * * # Designers drug bottom when they began cutting up towels to make fuzzy socks, but they really scooped up some sediment when they, with an eye on the Highlanders, and a bagpipe tune in their heads, came up with these colloquial garments of the Scottish hill country. * * * When one or two young ladies appeared before upraised eyebrows in these brilliant red or green Boy Scout length socks, or, perhaps, as they're really neither, sockings, they caused some disturbance, no little tumult, clamor, and cries of anguish, and a death of that little thing caused taste in dressing. Or so we thought. Other lads did too. But the ladies. Ah-h-h, us, the ladies thought different. They loved the cunning sockings. They thought they were stunning, attractive (!), that indefinable thing called "cute", and last, and more practical, warm. We bow to the inevitable, but, we think it might be well to let this end there. Please, girls, young ladies, and the influences thereof, don't let this be a field for growth of ideas of color maniacs. Never dare to step out in sockings of more than one color. Don't proudly present sockings in ~J checks, stripes, or louder designs. We beg of you, don't let this pestilence fall upon the Auburn campus. In the words of our noble editor, God forbid that it should do so! * * * There's an editorial in this issue (those things on the left-hand side of this page) having to do with the length of raiment worn by girls at our so-called formal dances. Our first thought is to go on record as saying that we like the idea of cutting the length, and the shorter they cut them the better we'll like them, but that thought is a trifle vulgar for a newspaper of this type. Sudden thought: But it didn't used to be like that! * * * But we've done some more thinking. We still think it's up to the ladies. If they like to let themselves in for the trouble of wearing the longer garments, plus the pleasure of receiving a fair percentage of floral offerings from proud escorts, we think that's up to them. But . . . if they think the long dresses are too much trouble, why off with their heads (the dresses') and away with the purty HI' ole blossoms. We feel sure that most males on the campus would welcome a drop in florist's bills. * * * We i-ealize that it is perfectly proper to wear corsages right smack in the front of short "dress-up" dresses, but we think the demand will be lessened in direct proportion to the lessening of dress length. That may remain to be seen. The whole think is rather farfetched, anyhoo. The day, or night, of informals is over, in the main, for quite a while. * * * KKK (Karrie, the Kampus Kounselor) kounsels, "That's a lot of words to the ladies. While you're on the subject, I'd like to say to the girls and boys . . . Must you continue to make spectacles of yourselves by hanging onto one another all over the campus in the daytime? I think such things would be much more appropriate at night, din't you?" No reflection on any particular couple,- dormitory, or group of any kind is intended, we feel sure, but perhaps we'd better ask Karrie. Karrie . . . "Certainly not!" -r-- Parade of Opinion By ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS Between bomb-blasts in London and Berlin, Americans catch glimpses of another war. Many see in the Sino-Japanese conflict far-reaching influences on the western world. In the American college press, opinions differ as to the imminence of hostilities with Japan. But continued aid to China and ever-stiffening resistence to Tokyo find vociferous support. Fact that the recently reopened Burma Road stays open is called "significant" by the University of Minnesota Daily The road, comments the Daily "symbolizes the remaining bonds between Free China and the democratic west. British reversal of policy therefore stiffened Chinese morale — and secretary Hull's overtures, which prompted the British action, strengthened Chinene faith in the United States' Far Eastern policy." American extension of credits to China is applauded by the Eastern Illinois State Teachers College News, which says: "Despite the fact that our chances of getting our money back from destitute China are slim, the loan will fur-him standing there, tired and ragged- looking. First he talked to a nurse and then to a man. Turning from the man he was talking to he came out of the hospital. I stopped him out front and asked him "why the rush". He said that he had talked to the doctor "and that he was told that Auburn's Infirmary had no medicine to give away and for him to go bum a drug store. Well, that may suit some of Auburn's men, but as for myself, I think it was a hell of a note. Yours sincerely, A Student. ther spur her dogged resistance to Japan, at least delaying, if not preventing, our entry into a Japanese war. FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE LOAN, HOWEVER, IS THE EMBARGO PUT ON SCRAP IRON . . . We furnish the market for about 75 per cent of Japan's raw silk and we still buy most of her manufactured wares. Our own industry would benefit greatly and Japan might be brought quickly to her knees if a boycott was placed on her merchandise." At Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Tech concludes that "although the attendant risk is heightened, the steps we have taken in the east ought not to be revoked. This aggressive policy, of course, slices our security in the east. The Phillippines are still highly vulnerable and the position of Americans in China becomes more perilous. Apart from these conditions, however, no major risk is involved." More concerned is the Daily Northwestern. "There can be no doubt," declares this publication, "that a situation is fast developing in the east which could very possibly end in war with Japan. It certainly means that we have abandoned any pretense of neutrality in the Sino-Japanese struggle. It also means that we are perhaps closer to war today than we have been since 1918 " Wisconsin's Daily Cardinal be-lieves recent developments indicate that "the seemingly inevitable conflict with Japan may be transformed from a long, costly, possibly futile naval war into a matter of economic pressures skillfully applied.

Miss Loy plays a magazine editor who, because her boss' wife is jealous, invents a mythical husband whom she's supposed to be trying to find to get a divorce. The deception is perfect until Douglas, who has learned about it and is in love with her, blandly shows up and assumes the role of the missing spouse. Her family likes him. She doesn't—and proceeds to keep him in all manner of trials and tribulations. She scandalizes Ni-agra Falls on their "honeymoon." He invites another couple to join them in a "double honeymoon." Her attorney plans ways and means of getting her a divorce so that he can marry her himself. " And all three start towards Reno together. But after all the laugh-packed troubles they go through, Myrna and Melvyn find they've really been in love with each other all along. The cast includes Lee Bowman, latest discovery in leading men, as the attorney. Raymond Walburn is seen as Miss Loy's father. Donald Meek, eccentric apiarist and detective in the Nick Carter series, plays an equally eccentric and comical art dealer. Felix Bres-sart, of "Ninotchka" and "Shop Around the Corner" fame, adds more laughs to the situations as the art editor who helps Myrna in her deceptions. Bonita Granville, erstwhile child actress, plays her first sub-deb role as Miss Loy's very active younger sister. Ann Morriss and other featured players unite to keep the comedy pot boiling at full steam. Helen Jordan to Act as Mistress of Ceremonies A gala affair will be staged in Alumni Gymnasium on Saturday night, December 14 with the initial opening of the WAA Night Club. Mistress of Ceremonies will be Helen Jordan, senior representative of WAA. A floor show in the form of an amateur contest will be the main feature of the evening's program and favors of hats, horns, and balloons will be given to those attending the first performance. A roulette wheel and other prize winning amusements are features to be enjoyed. Any group or individual who desires to enter the amateur contest may sign up in the Intramural Sports Office in the Alumni Gym. A prize of $2.00 will be awarded to the winner. Refreshments may be obtained at tables while double tag dancing will be in order on the floor. This is the first time this form of dancing has been sponsored on the API campus and it is expected to be very popular. Both girls and boys will be able to cut in. The admission to the show will be 25c for couples and 15c for stags. Proceeds from this project will go to Sphinx to aid in building the recreational cabin for girls. Other shows will be announced whenever a time and building is available.

The entire sorority was in charge of the service which was held in the sorority room. Also on the Delta Zeta social calendar last week was a "backwards" party which was sponsored by the pledges of the sorority for their active members and alumnae. The party was held at the home of Mrs. Leslie Wright. Virginia Chase from St. Petersburg, Florida, and Sara Alice Fin-ley from Haleyville were in charge of this affair. The "backwards" idea was carried throughout the evening, the guests entering the back door backwards and expressing their enjoyment of the evening the visits of students between the hours of 2 and 3 and 7 and 8 o'clock each day.

The military might of Japan is at a stalemate. On the other hand, for the tens of millions of the Chinese people who are directly involved in this invasion the condition is tragic.

Smith Walked and Walked - Stepping Off Penalties Against Those Tigers Game Will Be Played In Columbus Stadium Alligators Rule Favorites for Memorial Stadium Clash; Injured Plainsmen Ready By JOHN PIERCE, Sports Editor With the old injury jinx still their most faithful follower, the Auburn Tigers tomorrow afternoon return to the Southland, taking the field at Columbus' Memorial Stadium against the up and coming Florida Gators in the grudge battle that annually closes out Southeastern Conference play for both teams. A sudden upswing that has seen the Floridians snap back from early season lambastings to take four of their last five games will send them The Origin of Auburn's Penalties is Related By JOHN PIERCE, Sports Editor There has been a lot of talk running around as to just where and when Auburn first started this business of combining an eleven game football schedule with a cross country excursion. I will go briefly into the matter, but errors in fact must not be attributed to me. They all came from a friend who claims to be in the know about the whole thing. If anyone tries to pull this stuff about Auburn first playing football in 1892 don't believe them. The Tigers first played .at the sport in the preceding year, 1891, but have not been recorded in the school annals for the obvious reasons to be disclosed here. The Plainsmen of that year started out the season in fairly sensible fashion, playing a game in Montgomery one day and one in Columbus the next. These short trips naturally became boring after about the first five encounfr ers, so the only thing left as a medium was a few longer jaunts. First of these jaunts took the boys to New York, and the new settings so appealed to them that a trek into Ohio was planned forthwith. This trip was even better, and the Plainsmen headed for Iowa. So it went—Iowa, New Mexico, Florida, Texas, Maine, and California, playing two or three games a week. By this time the travel zeal was a burning passion. The team played in California and took a boat for China. It was last seen two years later playing somewhere in Australia, but there all records vanish. And that seems to be the whole story. One more thing that is a question of foremost interest to Au-burnites. This business of the of- They're Glad To Eat This! Ice Cream contains essential vitamins vital to body building.

It's a hit with everyone. f Fountain Treat Sundae with two scoops of Black Walnut Fudge Froze-Rite Ice Cream FROZE • RITE ICE CREAM ficials — Where was Auburn assessed its first penalty? Interest in this matter is %nly natural, what with the Tigers averaging 400 yards per game by penalties. Well, it was back in the early part of the century, my friend tells me. A referee, whom we will sail Smith for reasons still vital in these parts, watched an Auburn back heave a 75 yard pass and called the play back. Hlegal use of the hands he said. Fifteen yards. Another play came up and another penalty went down. And Smith began to take a fancy to this penalty business. To skip the details, Smith walked all over the field that day. His performance was so effortless, so graceful, and so entirely indicative of the true blue referee that the Boy Scouts ran out after the game and cornered him, then pinned a Merit Badge on him for having completed his fourteen mile hike. Smith accepted modestly and walked out the main gate onto highway 60. He was seen months later walking through Butte, Montana with a ball under his arm, counting off yards. Here Smith disappears from all trace. It is believed that he was later found and returned to the U.S. If you see a guy walking along the highway painting a yellow line, chances are it will be Smith. Manuel Gonda, freshman engineering student at University of Texas from Asuncion, Paraguay, must translate his texts as he studies them. "Parnassus," magazine of the College Art Association of America, is now being published at the University of Iowa. University of Minnesota recently dedicated a new museum of natural history. into the game as even choices to knock over a Plainsman eleven plagued since late in October with casualties to key positions. While Auburn last week was undergoing its most severe beating in years the Gators were winning their third straight, whipping Georgia Tech by the identical score of the Auburn-Tech game, 116-7. Coach Tom Lieb stepped into the shoes of last year's Gator mentor, Josh Cody, early in the season with little prospect of building a gridiron power out of a squad hindered for the past few years by dissension caused by clubhouse lawyers. The citrus prodigies, however, after absorbing two pretty thorough beatings early in the season have snapped back to knock off Georgia, Georgia Tech, Maryland, and Miami, as well as throw the biggest scare of the season into Tennessee's Vols before losing, 0-14. The game, in fact, was so close that the Vols dropped any idea of future grid engagements with them like a hot potato. Writers now make no bones of electing Florida the surprise team of the conference. There are four or five main reasons why the Gators are going. Probably reason number one is Capt. Mush Batista, left guard and bulwark of a line that stands high in the South for its defensive solidity against running attacks. Mush was the ringleader of the mob .who last year came north and messed up Auburn's stadium dedication ceremonies with a 7-7 tie with the Tigers and so far there haven't been any indications that Mush is asleep this year. Also to be remembered from 1939 are backs Tommy Harrison, Pat Reen, and Charlie Tate, who ran all over Auburn Stadium last year and haven't slowed down since. Ask any of the teams they've played. Another member of the all around backfield is soph Fondren Mitchell, primarily noted for uncanny pass snatching. And ah yes!—Here is another end. Auburn has seen Goldman and Elrod and Golomb and Goss and Ison and Skipworth and Blalock and Goodreault, but the flankers still keep coming. This time it's Forrest Furgerson, one of Dixie's top defensive ends and now battling in the front lines for posts on the 'all' selections which are at present running wild. Throw this crew into the Florida lineup alongside such notables as linemen Kenetsky, Lane, and Robinson, and it's not hard to see why so many are picking the Gators to annex their third conference win: The Plainsmen have forgotten last Saturday's nightmare and their workouts have been spirited despite the necessity of shifting players to plug up gaps here and there. In the event that Ty Irby, sophomore fullback, has not sufficiently come around from his L.S. U. knee injury there may be a backfield shift that will see Lloyd Cheatham playing fullback while Buddy McMahan moves into the regular signal calling position, with Dick McGowen and Bud Wendling staying at their regular halfback posts. This combination was tested fairly successfully against Boston and has been a feature of the week's practices. If such a lineup does start Jim Reynolds will be the Texas Aggies and Minnesota Ranked First by Williamson and AP Raters INGRAM'S BREAD "Once Tasted — Never Wasted" INGRAM'S BAKERY OPELIKA Welcome to Columbus . .

Very promising. • Ty did not play last Saturday because of an injured knee, but he should be ready for service again this Saturday at the fullback post, alternating with Jim Reynolds. fullback to share duty with Cheatham. Carl Happer and Bill Year-out, halfbacks-, remain on the doubtful list with knee and ankle injuries. Harkins has moved into the left halfback slot vacated by Yearout and doubtless Clarence will break into play frequently as Dick McGowen's understudy. Aside from the absence of Jim LeNoir, definitely out, the same line that started last week is on tap for Florida. It will consist of Samford and Faulk, or Cremer, ends; McClurkin and Bulger, tackles; Mills and Ardillo, or Morris, guards; and All-SEC sophomore Tex Williams alternating at center with Ab Chrietzberg. Auburn Named No. 32 By Williamson System Minnesota, the team that earlier was given little chance of copping top honors in the Big Ten, has finished its season with a string of eight victories and the western crown. The Golden Gophers concluded their 1940 activities on the gridiron with a 22-13 win over Wisconsin and appeared almost certain to hold first place in the final Associated Press rating. It's not difficult to see why the writers adjudged the Minnesotans highly, what with victories over Washington, Nebraska, Ohio State, Iowa, Northwestern, Michigan, Purdue, and Wisconsin. Texas A. & M. stayed with the top teams, even though they were idle Saturday, holding first place in the Williamson rating and second with Associated Press.

Manning, former Auburn student, and graduate of Agricultural Education in 1934 has just been declared "Master Teacher" of Agriculture of North Carolina from 360 teachers of agriculture in that State, by Roy H. .Thomas, State Supervisor of Agricultural Education. According to Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive farmer, Manning should also qualify for "Master Teacher of the South" for the very extensive agricultural program that he has promoted in North Carolina and in the South. For his accomplishments, Manning was given a free trip with all expenses paid to the National FFA Convention and the American Royal Livestock Show in Kansas City that has recently been held. • Among the outstanding accomplishments may be listed that Manning had one of the outstanding community programs of work of the state. He conducted two even-' ing classes for adult farmers in the Dunn community where he is teaching, established a refrigeration food locker plant for fresh meats, placed approximately 50 head of beef cattle in the community, encouraged better pastures, the increase of from four to 150 head of purebred hogs, and a proper balance between livestock and crop enterprises on the farm. The Dunn chapter of FFA of which Manning is adviser won the district chapter contest. Some of the activities were the landscaping of the Dunn Postoffice, and the Dunn High School, planted 18 home nurseries, has established a complete FFA library. The group took a 2,200 mile tour to the New York World's Fair and the World's Poultry Congress in Cleveland, Ohio, and this summer took a 3,000 mile tour to Miami, Fla., and other southern states, won first place in Harnett County Fair exhibits, constructed much equipment for the new $7,000 agricultural building. Manning has one of the outstanding shop programs in the state, having developed a completely modern electrical shop and his boys build over $1,000 worth of farm furniture and equipment annually. While in Auburn, Manning won the Danforth Fellowship in 1933 given to an outstanding student in agriculture, which gave him a free five weeks tour over the central states, to St. Louis, Chicago, and Camp Minawanca, Michigan. Manning was also awarded the American Farmer degree while in Auburn and had previously served as state secretary of the Future Farmers of Alabama. Manning gives much credit to the fine faculty of API including Mr. S. L. Chestnutt, teacher trainer, Mrs. Emma Cary, wife of the late Dr. Cary, dean of veterinary medicine, with whom Manning worked to earn his way through Auburn, and to Dr. Duncan, who inspired him with encouraging words. Manning's home is at Maples-ville, Alabama, but has been in North Carolina since his graduation from Auburn in 1934. Mark A. Smith Smith is president of Kiwanis International.

Dick McGowen Named On All-Southeastern Rufus Deal Wins Second Team Place Auburn's C a p t a i n Dynamite Dick McGowen was named to the backfield of the annual Associated Press All-Southeastern team for 1940, it was learned here this morning. Other backfield stars included in the first team selection included Jimmy Nelson of Alabama, Bob Foxx of Tennessee, and John Ho-vius of Mississippi. Said the Associated Press in selecting McGowen: "McGowen, whose standout play made him the most valuable player in Auburn's star-studded backfield, was an easy winner of the fourth back-field spot on the all-conference team. A punter, passer and place-kicker, as well as a runner, he was described by many coaches as "a great all-purpose back." McGowen was one of the repeaters from the 1939 all-conference eleven. Rufus Deal, Auburn's pile-driving fullback, who has been out of action most of the season with a broken arm, was selected as number three back on the third team. It was stated that Deal would have probably made the first team had he not been injured early in the season. Several Tigers made honorable mention, in fact Auburn placed as many or more men on honorable mention than any other conference eleven. Plainsmen ends Jim Lenoir and Jim Samford were recorded this rating. At tackles, the Tigers placed five men, Chet Bulger, Gordon McEachern, John Chalkley, Jim McClurkin, and Joe Eddins. Ernie Mills, alternate-captain, was the only Tiger to receive honorable mention for the guard position. Tex Williams, sophomore center was accorded honorable mention for that position. In the backfield these Auburn players were included for the honorable mention roster: L l o yd Cheatham, Bill Yearout, and Ty Irby. Tennessee and Alabama each placed three men on the first team, Mississippi State placed two, and Vanderbilt, Mississippi and Auburn each placed one on the mythical squad. Glee Club (Continued from page 1) Alabama and Florida have been made. It is expected that the club will include Mobile, Tallahassee, Fla., and perhaps Miami will be included in the tour.

McGowen Leading Auburn Scoring Fourteen Men on Team Have Tallied Points Though suffering their worst defeat in a decade at the hands of Boston College last Saturday, the Tigers scored in the last five seconds of play to continue their record of scoring in every game this year, nine games thus far. However, it was the second game this season in which the Plainsmen scored only one touchdown. Captain Dick McGowen continued to lead the Tigers in scoring, although adding only one point to his last week total. Dick now has scored 39 points and remains one of the leading scorers in the Southeastern Conference. Bill Yearout, although not scoring in the past few games still holds second place with 18 points, garnered from three touchdowns. Babe McGehee made the largest gain of the week, by scoring the Tiger's lone touchdown against B. C. McGehee's total for the year is now 12 points, as is Rufus Deal's total, but Rufe is out for the season. Other Tiger scorers who have scored one touchdown include Clarence Harkins, Lloyd Cheatham, Teedie Faulk, Jim Samford, John Chalkley, Tex Williams, Jim Reynolds, Bud Wendling, Theo Cremer, and also Buddy McMahan who has kicked one extra point after touch down.
