Tigers Gain Revenge,
Down Tech 9 to 6
Score Eight in
First Five Innings
By JOHN PIERCE
Auburn yesterday gained par­t
i a 1 revenge against Georgia
Tech's Yellowjackets as Capt.
Ralph Frazier's baseballers slap­ped
out a 9-6 win in Atlanta to
pull within a game of tying the
season's score between the two
schools.
The Plainsmen took with a
smile the mound offerings of the
same Pluto Oliver who had once
before set them down on Drake
Field, punched out 10 hits and
eight runs in the first five in­nings
and coasted on in behind
the twirling of Bobby Day.
Johnny Bosch of Tech was the
day's batting leader as he smack­ed
out a single, double, and triple
in five times at the plate. For
Auburn Clarence Harkins connect­ed
twice in three trips and drove
in three runs while Charlie Rollo
finished with two for four.

Interfraternity
Council Officers
Tonight the Interfraternity Council
elections for officers for 1941-42 are
scheduled to take place.
The Interfraternity Council is an im­portant
organization on this campus. It
could be more important. That group
represents the largest percentage of or­ganized
students on the campus, unless
you consider the entire student body as
organized under the Executive Cabinet.
We don't.
In past year the Interfraternity Coun­cil
has often been a council for dispute
between fraternities. In recent years,
conditions have been improved some.
The Council has done a few things be­sides
disputing.
Some of the things which the group
have accomplished have been kept as
secret, evidently, as any things done on
the campus. The students interested
have no way to find out what's going on
in their council except by cornering
some member and forcing him to talk.
Then those members usually just say,
"Oh, nothing much went on." Which
makes the information - seekers feel
rather foolish.
The Interfraternity Council, although
representing numerous secret organiza­tions,
certainly shouldn't be a hush-hush
organization. The Council should rather
want its accomplishments to be known
—if there are any accomplishments.
After tonight, when the new officers
are elected, maybe the Council will come
out from behind their stone walls and
let the students in on their actions.
Horse Show
For three hours Sunday afternoon Au­burn
students and townspeople and
faculty members sat or stood on Drake
Field and watched the prime horsemen
of the village cavort on the ROTC
mounts.
Very few of those spectators left be­fore
the show was over. That was per­haps
the only three hour program held
in Auburn since Yancey used to shake
Langdon Halls rafters which was not
characterized by a mass exodus at the
half.
It was perhaps the only program
which was not followed by a deluge of
criticism. The only criticism in evidence
following the Horse Show was that there
were four events in which the riders
mounted their horses and walked or
trotted or galloped around the ring —
nothing else. That became a trifle bor­ing
to the spectators—and no doubt to
the judges.
Auburn's Horse Show has become an
institution. It hasn't changed much since
its beginning, nearly twenty years ago.
It's almost the same thing. But it's still
one of the best shows of the year.
The riders, the military department,
and the student body are to be congrat­ulated
on its success.
Thanks, Fellows . .
The editor and the managing editor
of the Plainsman, both of whom attend­ed
the SFCSPR in Atlanta last week,
left the paper jn the hands of the asso­ciate
editor and sophomore members of
the staff.
Those members did a fine job of pub­lishing
the paper. We wish to thank and
congratulate them. And to caution them
to check up on names before they print
them in the paper. Listed as one of the
Plainsman staff members absent for the
Atlanta meeting was Bob Armstrong —
who finished at Auburn in the spring
of 1940.
Student' Government and
Press Enthusiasm
Fifteen Auburn students, the leaders
in campus student government and the
heads of the two publications, attended
last week the twentieth annual congress
' of the Southern Federation of College
Students and Press Representatives, held
in Atlanta.
The S.F.C.S.P.R. is a regional organi­zation
of a national student government
and press organization.
At that meeting, Auburn students with
their traditional friendly spirit and their
love of "politicking", captured three of
the six major Federation offices for next
year. An Auburn man will be president
of the Southern Federation for the com­ing
year. An Auburn man will be chair­man
of the editorial press division of the
Federation. An Auburn man will be
chairman of the business press division.
One of these Auburn men, and two
other representatives from this school,
were chosen at the congress to hold the
chairmanships of the three convention
committees—the only three committees
appointed.
Those representatives, and those other
ten Auburn delegates;
The other ten Auburn delegates didn't
just sit around and politick. They jump­ed
right into the midst of things. They
helped lead discussions, presented ideas,
described the Auburn way of doing
things, helped, in general, to build a
stronger student government unity in
the South.
All fifteen of those students came
back to Auburn, a little tired perhaps,
but fired with new enthusiasm for bet­ter
student government on this campus.
They brought back a wealth of new
ideas.
Students have been fired with en­thusiasm
and new ideas before. Very lit­tle
of that enthusiasm has been carried
any further into the campus than Sam-ford
Hall. Very few of those ideas have
been developed. The enthusiasm and
ideas that those fifteen students accum­ulated
in Atlanta seems to be the "last­ing"
kind. We hope that it does last. Au­burn
will be a Greater Auburn if it does.
Credit to the Creeks
An old proverb says: "Give credit
where credit is due". If that is the case
we certainly must give the Greeks all
the credit in the world for their cour­ageous
battle against the Germans and
Italians.
Greece is a tiny country. But it is a
country where the men, women, and
children are courageous and determined.
Prior to Germany's participation in the
battle in the Balkans the Greeks were
routing the Italians from Albania and
thereby proving that Greece would be
a free and independent nation. A nation
in which freedoms and liberties existed.
At present the Greeks appear to be
fighting a losing battle. But unlike any
other nation — the Greeks are not dis­couraged.
While their king has fled to
the nearby Island of Crete the loyal
Greek troops remained at home to
carry on their fight. Those Greek troops
know that they are fighting for their
life and they are not willing to die with­out
showing that they can fight well.
Even the Germans have paid tribute
to the Greeks. The Germans have said
that the Greeks were real fighters —
fighters who were not afraid to die for
their country.
Three cheers for the Greeks. If the
rest of Europe would follow the example
set by,the Greeks the world would be a
much better place to live in.—B.B.

Not long ago we read of a scheme thought up by a Denver high­way
patrolman offered as a cure for speeding.
"The speeding driver should be escorted into a side road," he said.
"Then the officer should, politely, and without bickering or argu­ment
let all of the air out of the car's four tires.
"Next, the officer should hang around long enough to see to it
that the driver pumps all four tires by hand, without calling a service
station for help. After he does this chore once, or perhaps twice at
the most, any driver probably would be cured, permanently of speed­ing."
This plan has been used, with variations in some foreign nations.

Bad men
Want their women
To be like cigarettes:
Just so many
All slender and trim in a case,
Waiting in a row to be selected,
Set aflame,
And when their flame has died,
Discarded.
More fastidious men
Prefer their women
Like cigars:
These are more exclusive,
Look better and last longer.
If the brand is good,
They aren't given away.
Good men
Treat women
Like pipes,
And become more attached to them
The older they become;
When their flame is burnt out
They still look after them gently,
But lovingly,
And care for them always.
No man
Shares his pipe.

Before I heard the doctors tell
The danger of a kiss
I had intended kissing you
The nearest thing to bliss!
But now I take biology
And sit and sigh and moan
Six thousand mad bacteria
And I thought we were all alone!
Kissing spreads germs
It has been stated
But kiss me kid
I'm vaccinated!

Letters to the Editor
All of the student body knows
how much the interior of Samford
Hall needs repairing. A few of
the needed repairs are: (1) new
floors in most of the building,
(2) new paint for the walls and
ceilings, (3) replacing fallen plas­ter.
The students who have signed
their names below have pledged
themselves to agitate the move­ment
for getting these repairs by
talking to other students and to
the alumni and getting them also
to see the need of these repairs.
Maybe some plan of financing a
program of this kind can be work­ed
out. We will need help. Will
you pledge yourself to work for
this cause?

Notes to Plainsman columnists.
Dear Sargo Sugg:
We are glad to hear that the
Glomerata was paid the highest
compliment any annual can get
when YOU said that "it is actual­ly
the Dairy of API, 1940-41."
We don't mean by this that it
isn't, and we think the source of
the compliment is at least equally
as great as the compliment itself.
Dear Chisler Chislom:
We are sure that "Harvard Col­lege"
will accept your apologies
for giving Princeton University
the credit for putting on the
Hasty Pudding Show. No doubt
they will feel better now that you
have corrected the mistake.
And, we realize that you stated
a true need for steps back of Sam-ford,
but don't fret, son, that
ain't no roller rink they've been
laying the groundwork for so long.
* * *
Dear Pinky Heard:
Many thanks, old feller, for
filling up this space last time. We
were saddened, however, to note
that you found no digs in the
Glomerata directed at the Plains­man.
Naturally, there were none in
the editorial copy, as this was
written by Plainsmen writers, but
that picture of the Plainsman be­ing
used to wrap a fish, with the
legend, "Proving that there is
some use for the 'Plainsman,' "
was not intended as a mass com­pliment.
Dear Artful Jones:
It's dangerous business, letting
these red heads fill in for you,
isn't it? We shall dispense with
his services effective to date.

Dear Feller Columnists as a
bunch:
We mean nothing derogatory
in these little notes, but we
couldn't pass up the opportunity
to crack at those slips . . . espec­ially
that beauty of the Sargo-like
one.

someone remarked that his play­ing

eye with which Benny Good­man's
aggregation and with his
own band, and whose "And the

(Editor's Note: It is the under­standing
of the editors that the
present cut system will go into ef­fect
next year. However, it is this
writer's privilege to express his
views of the matter.)
For many, many years the pow­ers
that be at Auburn have been
trying to figure out a good sys­tem
of cuts that will help the stu­dent
body as well as the profess­ors.
Rumor has it that next year
the old cut system of "no allowed
cuts and two points off the final
grade for each cut" will go back
into effect.
Last year by student vote this
system was done away with. It
seems like a bad idea to put it
back in, if the rumor is true.
For some time now we have
been discussing a cut system with
students as well as professors.
The few people we have discussed
it with seem to be in favor of it.
Of course, like everything, it has
both advantages and disadvan­tages.
It is well known that a large
number of students who attend
any college don't really want to
be in college, but are there be­cause
their parents want them to
be. These students are just drift­wood
as far as an education is
concerned and they are a detri­ment
to all other students who
really want an education.
The plan of cutting that we
propose is a program of unlimited
cutting privileges with compulsory
attendance being only to quizzes
and examinations. Now most of
the higher-ups on the campus will
throw their arms in the air and
howl with dismay at such a plan.
They are ones who prefer to have
"Auburn, the mighty", instead of

"Auburn, the intellectual". They
are the ones who will prefer quan­tity
to quality. But in ages past
it has been proved that a few per­sons
of quality are worth a great
deal more than a large number of
persons who lack what it takes.
After one semester under this
plan of cutting all students who
had failed two or more subjects
would be ejected from the insti­tution.
This would do away with
those "driftwood" cases.
Those students who are left
would be the ones that wanted an
education. After all if a person
comes to school for an education,
he or she does not mind attending
classes. And there are times when
outside study is of more import­ance
than class lectures, yet un­der
the present system there is
little more time for outside study,
especially to do all the work that
is required by a college curricu­lum.
This system must be a good one
for it has been thoroughly tried
at the University of Chicago, and
it has succeeded there. The Uni­versity
of Chicago is one of the
highest ranking schools in the
country, also.
This plan of cuts is just a sug­gestion,
but something ought to
be done to keep the old "no cut"
system out, and to make the pres­ent
"straight-laced" system easier
on the students.
Think it over, our college
fathers, and try and evolve some­thing
that will be worth while.

We are greatly in favor of the
finger printing drive that is being
sponsored by Squires and Owls.
It has been the intention of this
column to suggest such a plan for
several weeks. In these uncertain
times it is a wise thing to be per­manently
identified. We have
studied finger printing and finger
print classification with a view of
following this profession, and we
know that it is the only sure meth- .
od of identifying a person. There
is one chance in 1,000, followed
by fifty-four zeros of any two
prints being alike.
If this drive goes through, and
it certainly should, give it your
full support, fellow students, and
let's join the many other universi­ties
and colleges who have one

March of Time to
Present Activity
Of " C " Men
A new and exciting aspect of
the work of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation is revealed in the
March of Time film, "Men of the
F.B.I., which will be shown Wed­nesday
and Thursday at the Tiger
Theatre.
In a comprehensive picture of
the training and work of the FBI's
staff of laboratory experts and its
2,000 special agents, the March of
Time shows how this famed Bu­reau
is today preventing and
fighting espionage and sabotage in
America's defense industries, and
is thus proving itself a vital arm
of national defense.
The excellent record of J. Ed­gar
Hoover and his able staff in
checking kidnapping and interstate
crime is already known and ap­preciated
by the American peo­ple,
the March of Time points out.
That the FBI's modern scientific
methods of crime detection, pa­tiently
developed during the past
decade, are now being employed
to ensure internal security against
spies, saboteurs and subversive
elements is clearly evidenced in
the film presentation.
Movie-goers will particularly en­joy
March of Time's dramatiza­tion
of the "Stuart Case" — a
typical but hypothetical instance
of espionage involving burglary
and murder in a factory working
on defense orders. Taken from
the files of the FBI in Washing­ton,
the "Stuart Case" has been
reconstructed with special agents
of the Bureau playing their real-life
roles in the film. The sequence
vividly illustrates the painstaking
methods of the FBI in assembling,
analysing and piecing together the
bits of evidence necessary to find
and convict the nation's internal
enemies.
Made with the full cooperation
of the Federal Bureau of Inves­tigation,
"Men of the F.B.I." is
one of the most unusual and enter­taining
subjects that the March
of Time has yet produced.

Back Street' Is
Wednesday, Thursday
Feature at Tiger
The same sensational situations,
the same wealth of emotional
drama which made Fannie Hurst's
g^eat novel, "Back Street," one
of the outstanding novels of the
day, have been captured and put
on the screen in Universal's pic-turization
of the story which will
be shown Wednesday and Thurs­day
at the Tiger Theatre, accord­ing
to the multitudes who have
read the book and also have seen
the picture.
Starring Charles Boyer and
Margaret Sullavan, two of the
most glamourous figures of the
modern . screen, Universal's pic­ture,
"Back Street," was directed
by Robert - Stevenson, brilliant
young «English novelist who re­cently
went to Hollywood after
serving for years as a director in
the British Isles and on the con­tinent.
Miss Sullavan is seen as Ray
Smith, a girl who is content to
live in the back street of the life
of a wealthy and successful man,
sacrificing herself unselfishly to
help him in his world-famous ca­reer.
Many Hollywood notables are
seen in other familiar roles. Rich­ard
Carlson portrays Curt Stan­ton;
Frank McHugh appears as
Ed Porter and Tim Holt is the
Richard Saxel of the story.
In the supporting cast are Sam­uel
S. Hinds, Frank Jenks, Peggy
Stewart, Nell O'Day, Nella Walk­er,
Cecil Cunningham and others.
'breaking the ice' for the very
serious train of thought that ran
throughout the convention, to­gether
with the informality and
fun.
"I was more than ever made
mindful of the fact that we as
student leaders have a great re­sponsibility
to come home to our
campuses, and meet the challenge
here first of keeping America a
democracy. We students as future
citizens upon whose shoulders the
burdens of our country shall rest
for a ride to, let us hope, greater
heights, should in our four years
in college willingly train ourselves
for this privileged task. My ideal
college is one in which student
government is supreme.
"No C o l l e g e administration,
however, is willing to say 'stu­dents
we trust your good judg­ment
to run this campus' unless
we prove ourselves capable — and
rightfully it should be so. So it is
up to us students to prove to our
college that we have such capa­bilities,
it is up to us to believe
in our student government or­ganizations
whose aims it is to
better our college. These organi­zations
appreciate constructive
suggestions and criticism—we the
students should speak!
"If we make constructive con­tributions
and are then determin­ed
to cooperate to see ideas be­come
realities, we, the students,
shall then here at Auburn more
and more benefit ourselves indi­vidually
and our student body as
a whole. I'm sure nothing would
please the personnel of the col­lege
administration more than to
know they were the directors of
a student body who primarily seek
and obtain their advice, but which
ultimately is capable of running
its own affairs. If we as students
reach such a goal while we are in
college, it will be of inestimable
value to us. We will have laid the
foundations for a useful life."

Plainsmen Place Second in A A U Meet
Auburn's Trackmen
Annex Five Firsts
Hall Smashes Old Pole Vault Record;
Team Will Meet Florida Here This Week
By FRANK B. WILSON
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's Auburn track team Saturday
took second place in the Southeastern AAU track meet
in Atlanta as the Plainsmen representatives gained five of
14 first places for a total of 531/2 points, a single point
short of the Georgia Tech sum of 54i/2 which was suffici­ent
for first place honors.
Top performances of the entire meet were turned in
by three Auburn athletes. John "Cannon" Ball ran the
best two mile race of his career
as he bested Bunning of Florida
"and Cash of Tech with a time of
9.48:2. Hoyt Hall tied Weeks of
Tech in the pole vault high as he
cleared 13 feet, 2% inches to
smash a 14-year-old record. Dud­ley
Tyler, stellar sophomore per­former
took first place in both
the mile, with a time of 4.24:4,
and in the 880-yard dash, which
event he won with the time of two
minutes.
Other top performers in the
meet for Auburn were: Hugh
Maddox, who won the discus event
with a heave of 139 feet; Capt.
Jim Stephenson, who placed first
with the 16-pound shot as he threw
47 feet, 5% inches, and placed
second to Maddox in the discus;

Plainsmen Hit the
Road for SEC Tilts
By JOHN PIERCE
Holding a season's record of
eight wins and nine losses the Au­burn
baseball team this week is
wading into the toughest single
leg of the 1941 slate as it leaves
the Plains to meet Georgia Tech
and Florida. The Tigers met Tech
yesterday, close out the two game
series this afternoon in Atlanta,
and go to Gainesville Friday af­ternoon
for a pair of games with
Florida's Gators.
The meeting with Tech stands
as just another of those revenge
affairs, the Plainsmen smarting
under two defeats by the Jackets
two weeks ago here on Drake
Field. First loss was by a 5-3
count while the second saw the
Tigers dropping a 7-4 decision.
The twin bill with Florida on Fri­day
and Saturday will be the first
meeting of 1941 between Florida's
and Auburn's nines.
Remaining on the slate after
this quartet of conference duels
is a closeout series with Ogle­thorpe
on Drake Field.
Day Hurls One Hitter
Bobby Day, senior Auburn
pitcher, came within one knock of
gaining baseball's portals of fame
as he set down Dothan on last
Wednesday in Dothan by a 5-0
count. Only one base hit was made
off Day and his support from the
field and at bat stood as one of
the best yet displayed by the Au­burn
team this season. ,
Errors Costly at Benning
Over the week-end it was er­rors
by the Auburn nine that told
the big story again and the Plains­men
went down in both ends of a
twin bill against Fort Benning at
Benning's Gowdy Field. Eleven
miscues were made by Jimmie
Hitchcock's nine in the pair of
contests, the scores reading 10-7
on Friday and 5-3 Saturday.
Shag Hawkins, in his initial role
as a starting hurler, yielded eight
hits and eight runs to the Dough­boy
contingent before giving way
to Jim Jordan, who pitched effec­tively
throughout the closing
frames. Auburn garnered eight
hits from two Benning pitchers,
with*Dick McGowen's triple stand­ing
as the only blow of the game
which went for extra bases.
Five hit ball by Ray Fleming
cut down the Plainsmen on Sat­urday
after the Soldiers had pick­ed
up a seven run lead in the first
two innings. Tommie Mastin and
Marvin Motley did the mound
duties for the losers with Lloyd
Cheatham, Ted Wright, and Jack
Ferrell leading the Auburn hit­ters.
Cheatham hit his fourth
home run of the year, Wright
socked out a triple, and Ferrel
connected for a double.
