CHAIRMEN CHOOSEN
FOR COMMITTEES
BY NEW CABINET
Meeting yesterday in Samford
208, the Executive Cabinet heard
a report from Carl Sellers, last
year's chairman of the Ring Com­mittee.
New chairmen and committees
elected were the Rat Cap Com­mittee,
Al Lowe, chairman; In-V
vitations Committee, Dennard
Davis, chairman; Drives Commit­tee,
Bill Randolph, chairman;
Organizations Committee, Mal­colm
Dykes, chairman.
Bobby Humphrey had already
been chosen chairman of '45 Ring
Committee, and Bill Crum, chair­man
of the elections committee.
The members of the elections
committee were announced. They
are Henry Steindorff, Fielding
Lindsay, Josephine Bass, and Al
Lowe.
Sellars' report stated that of
the 104 class rings sold Griffiths
sold 11, Ashley sold 45, Cottle
sold 10 and Kelly 15.
The $4.50 commission on each
ring, cut from profit of $7.50
three years ago, is expected to
be cut still more the coming
year, due -to the newly ratified
constitution of the Cabinet.
General Election
For Miss Auburn
To Be Tomorrow
The election of Miss Auburn,
sponsored by the Executive Cab­inet,
will be held Wednesday. The
"lady of the plains" will be se­lected
by general vote.
Only two contestants turned in
nominations to Bill Crum chair­man
of the elections committee
by last Sunday, thus becoming
the only two to run. The require­ments
for a coed to be nominated
were that she must be enrolled
as a student at API and that
she could not be a freshman.
Sis Glenn, senior in Education
from Opelika and a member of
Alpha Delta Pi and Cardinal Key
will run.
Doris Brown, her opponent for
the honor, is a sophomore in the
School of Pharmacy. She is a
member of Kappa Delta from
Florence.
There will be two ballot boxes,
one on Vet Hill and one at Stu­dent
Center. Students will not
be allowed to vote without their
activity books. Any student with
his activity book, may vote. All
are asked to observe the election
rules printed below.
1. Any means of campaigning
by the candidates or their sup­porters
other than by personal
approach renders the candidate
ineligible.
No candidate may distribute
free merchandise, or have dis­tributed
circulars, cards, or other
printed matter in behalf of her
election.
2. Anyone found guilty of un­fair
practices at the polls shall
have his voting privileges re­moved.
The position of Miss Auburn is
not altogether honorary as are
many of the other so-called beau­ty
offices. For example, the girl
elected to serve as Miss Auburn
is the one whom the winner of
the Cake Race kises as his re­ward,
and she might be called
upon for other campus duties
throughout the year.
IRC meets Monday at 7 o'clock
in New Building 108. Students
interested in discussion of world
affairs and topics of the times
are invited to come.
SPIRIT SAME
SENIOR SAYS
Dear Football Team:
Proud—that's the first word we
want you to see. So darn proud
of you that we can never express
in these few lines just exactly
the extent of our feelings.
When Auburn decided to add
its name once more to the SEC
as a football power, the students,
alumni, and faculty just asked
for a team that would get in
there and fight. That's all they
felt they had a right to ask for—
a fighting team.
However, 'they underestimated
two things. They under-estimated
the coaching staff and the spirit
and ability of you 1944 Tigers.
They were more than mildly
surprised when you cleaned the
greens of Howard and the Fourth
Infantry. You were doped to lose
both games. Saturday you were
supposed to roll over and play
dead when the Yellow Jackets
swarmed on the field, as our good
friend Ed Danforth put it. The
only ones we saw rolilng over
and playing dead however, were
the Crackers who gave Auburn
and 30 points.
You were just asked to put up
a good fight. For Gosh Sake!
They didn't expect you to go up
there and whip the U. S. Navy!
Which, actually, you did.
How you gave and took what
you did Saturday on Grant Field
we'll probably never know.
They said in the Cracker state
that Auburn hadn't forgotten the
Georgia game of '42. Right! We
haven't forgotten. But what
Georgia has forgotten is that
we're not remembering the result
of the game so much as we are
the spirit of the game. They tell
us in Sunday School that a lot of
things can be accomplished by
the right spirit. We may not be
the world's best Sunday School
goers down here but we sure do
believe in that spirit. -
We don't have a "Million Dol
lar Band" and we don't have a
portion of the U. S. Fleet. But
we believe we do have something
that will stack up against either
of these.
The "Band" may be disbanded,
and the Fleet may go under but
that "Million Dollar Auburn
Spirit" will live forever.
Most Sincerely,
Some Deeply Grateful Seniors
P. S. We'll be yelling and listen­ing
next Saturday.

Letter From France
25 September '44
Southern France
My dear Miss Olivia,
No doubt, you have been reading all
about the Seventh Army's invasion of
Southern France. D-Day for us was Aug­ust
15—an unforgettable experience for
me, though not quite so bad as I had ex­pected.
It was interesting to note the per­fect
coordination between the army, navy
and air—all of which played important
roles. Of course, we had a few air raids at
first, but we have a decided superiority
over the Luftwaffe.
Shortly after arrival on land, I saw two
German generals, which was a unique
treat for me; as expected, they are very
proud and distinguished looking.
France is simply beautiful. . . mountains
and valleys and lakes. It reminds one of a
Hollywood production. The French people
are most hospitable, willing and wanting
to do all they can for you. My knowledge
of French is extremely limited, but usual­ly
I can get the gist of their conversation.
Occasionally, one meets a former Amer­ican;
in fact. I met this lady from Michi­gan
the third day after landing. Naturally,
she wanted to know all about conditions
in the States, and anxiously awaits the
opportunity to return.
We are now experiencing the rainy
season, which isn't too good. Fortunately,
though, at present we are comfortably
situated. No doubt, in a few weeks, we'll
have snow.
Frequently, I see someone I knew at
Auburn—namely, a L t Adams, who taught
me ROTC and a Dr. Davis of the History
Department, who is now with the Histori­cal
Section of this Headquarters.
From all reports, Auburn is strictly a
woman's college now. As you say, practi­cally
all of the men are in some phase of
this war. We all look forward to the day
when we can resume our places there,
j Regards and best wishes,
Johnston
Editor's note: This letter was received
by Miss Olivia Armstrong from John
Marvin Johnston, former student and sec­retary
to Dr. J. V. Brown.
Another Lett er
October 11, 1943
The Auburn Plainsman
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
Auburn, Alabama
Every time I read the Plainsman, I have
a sudden urge to write and tell you how
we miss ole A.P.I. This time, with the Au-burn-
Tulane game coming up this next
week, I couldn't resist. So bear with me.
There are about six of us here at Tulane
now who have graduated from Auburn,
and, believe me, these Louisiana men are
really giving us heck . . . . you see, every
since the football schedules came out,
we've been making big plans concerning
the Auburn game. They claim that our
six loud "WAR EAGLES" will be com­pletely
smothered by yells for Tulane; so
we want you to know, that even though
outnumbered, we're going to put up a
good fight.
I see where the enrollment this quarter
is the largest since the war began . . . I
sincerely hope they all have, and con­tinue
to have, that AUBURN SPIRIT!
That's one thing I don't believe any other
school will ever equal. Those great pep
rallies with loud and lustry WAR EAG­LES,
the Alama Mate making goose pim­ples
pop out all over you, the cheery
"hello" that everyone has for a stranger
or friend, the BONG of the clock on Sam-ford
(followed by a rush of couples to
make the dorm on time), the sleepy rides
back on the train from football games,
the corners full of hitch-hikers on week­ends
. . . all those things, and thousands
of others, make that great SPIRIT, and
they're things you want to never forget.
Well, we're getting our holidays pretty
soon, and you can be assured that the
Village of the Plains will be the main ob­jective.

Why Wednesday
"Due to circumstances beyond our con­trol—"
they tell you. Or, "Well, it's not
our fault—it's the war, you know."
And so it goes with everything you do.
You just accept the changes as inevitable
because of the war and go on about your
business.
That's what you've had to do about the
Plainsman, too. You've been mighty under­standing—
most of you—about our coming
out late. That, too, has been a thing we
couldn't help.
For after the columnists and reporters
have written their stories, after the editor
has made up the pages and written the
headlines, after the business staff has so­licited
the ads, the paper still has to be
printed.
This is the work of the shop; they do
the job of turning our stories into print,
our headlines into type, and our papers
off the press. Without a shop, no paper
could ever come out.
Now shop workers can have jobs for
the wanting. Since last spring we have
been specially conscious of this, for our
shop has been almost a complete turnover.
This has meant that the men who knew
our shortcuts are gone. Because they are
not familiar with our ways of doing things,
they have often had unnecessary delays.
Then there has been the question of lin­o-
type operators. Right now they are about
the most precious thing we can think of—
and if you don't agree, just talk to Mr.

Around The Editor's Desk
Noticed, but not mentioned sooner: the lettering on the
scoreboard in the stadium has been changed. At the time of
the Ft. Benning game it was reprinted to read "Auburn, Visit­ors"
instead of "Auburn, Clemson" as it had read for SO long.
Truly a sign of the times, it was previously used only once
a season, when we played Clemson, and that was Homecoming.

The Communty Chest and Alabama War Chest Drive next
Wednesday should go over the top, as do most campaigns in
Auburn. Funds collected at this time will go to help not only
the local needy and community welfare, but for prisoners-of-war
aid, USO and Merchant Seaman aid, help to allied na­tions,
and for many other essential forms of relief.
Trains aren't the only things that have have cow-catchers
nowdays. Last week there was a truck in town with a hugh
red contraption on it's front, apparently for the purpose.
On Sunday afternoons and some nights during the week,
the campus has been filled with the strains of music issuing
from Langdon Hall. We think that this is one of the best forms
of advertising that Zombie and his Collegiates can have, for
we enjoy hearing them practice. We'd like to urge 'em to keep
it up.

Last week we were criticized for criticizing the Boy Scouts,
APhiO and ChiO for putting tin cans in the path across the
vacant lot by Wrights Drug Store. We would like to suggest
that these organizations, if they are going to collect tin cans,
do something useful with them instead of letting them stay
out in the open, exposed to the weather. We think it would
be a sight more patriotic not to waste the gas and tires of the
truck collecting cans than to let them rust there, after which
the scrap cannot be easily reclaimed, we hear.

"It is something like giving a

A plan for grading professors
has been set forth in the Ameri­can
Association of University
Professors bulletin. The article
was written by Edward C. Mc-
Donagh, associate professor of
sociology at Southern Illinois
Normal university.
Students would evaluate the
professor for each course in much
the same manner that students
are graded, keeping in mind such
criteria as the method of present­ing
the course, organization of
class materials, humor, fairness,
and those adapted to the needs
of specific courses.
McDonagh contemplates of pro­bable
efforts of plan as: improved
quality of teaching, eliminating
indirect expression of disapprov­al
of a professor's work by avoid­ing
his classes and spreading dis­favor
of him to fellow students.
It would affort recognition to
professors of superior teaching
ability, raising teaching as a uni­versity
service in relation to other
academic work.
Such a plan, however, presup­poses
that students are mature
enough to consider the problem
seriously and conscientiously.

A rule for making A's, accord­ing

All This, And A Mystery, Too, Proves
That Y Hut Has Seen Exciting Days
Building Has Housed Everything From
"Macbeth" To Confederate Wounded
By Mimi Simms
Looking for the ideal setting for your ghost story? You
couldn't beat the "Y" Hut for history, atmosphere, and—it
even has a mystery.
Besides the near magic of the disappearing lathes, benches,
saws, and other shop equipment, the Hut can boast of having
staged such weird goings-on as Macbeth. (In case you (have
wondered just where all the equipment does go, it is stacked
up to the ceiling and covered with
black curtains. Those black cur­tains
also hide the electricians.)
But that is not the most inter­esting
part of the Y Hut's history,
for it has not led one life, but six!
It began as the first Presby­terian
Church, and was probably
build by slave labor in the 1850s.
Wooden pegs still hold much of
the building together, and can be
seen in the rafters over the stage.
The present stage hides the first

altar, which is still intact.
The steeple, which was the
pride of church members when it
was new, began leaning toward
College Street as it grew older.
Fear that it might unexpectedly
fall on a passerby brought it
down peacefully.
Wounded Confederate soldiers
used the church as a hospital, but
after the Civil War it again be­came
a church.
Here's The Mystery
The mystery occured shortly
before the World War, when
someone broke into the corner­stone
and robbed it. No one
knows what was taken that was
of any value,-and since the thief
was never caught, the speculation
still goes on.
Soldiers in SATC during the
last war used the building as a
Young Men's Christian Associa­tion
center, it having been abond-ed
as a church.
For The Kiddies
Next step in its varied career
came when it was turned over to
a lady in town for a kindergarten.
It was not from the men's oc­cupation
of the building, but from
the Young Women's Christian
Association's sojourn that the Hut
took its present name.
During the time of the YWCA,
the Auburn Players were per­forming
on the fourth floor of
Samford, right underneath the
clock. Conditions were hard on
the audience, and. even worse on
the Players. So arrangments were
made to share the Y Hut.
They Kicked Too Hard

who were exploring the attic one
evening accidently kicked out

With plans already underway

ly improving both acoustics and
the heating of the place.
The Players took over entirely
in the early 1930s. One of their
biggest problems was heat. The
Hut had a huge, black, pot-bel­lied
stove, which would get red
hot, but the actors had no way
to get coal except to borrow it
from the pile next door.
To The Hut and Back
When the Players first inherit­ed
the Hut, they staged their
plays there. Students demanded
that they move to Langdon, not
realizing that the facilities for
producing a play in the Hut were
much better. About two years
ago, the troupe again began stag­ing
plays there.
Even now the building leads
more than one life, for it does
the work of a classroom, a work­shop,
a rehearsal room, and an
auditorium for final productions.
Storage cupboards have been
built up to the ceilings in two of
the corners. In the back the sew­ing
machine folds into the wall.
Even the floor is different; it is
slightly higher in the middle,
sagging toward the walls.

the two doors and five windows
are obvious. There is also a way

two doors under the stage. These

BuggsTailor's Goldbricking
Pays Off With Gold Bars
Former Plainsman Editor
Tells Of Guardhouse Days
By Buggs Tailor
I have just received my LIEUTENANT'S BARS, and am
now qualified to tell you how it is done.
I have always held the theory that a second louie could
live an easier life than a private. So when I volunteered for
the Army, I told them I'd be a shavetail or else-^-So they
gave me my choice, and let me be a private.
I was sent to an induction cen­ter
in Atlanta to be sworn in.
There I got some Army shots and
some Army tests. The idea is
that if you don't fall out when
you get your shots and you don't
flunk your tests, you will be im­mediately
sent to the infantry.
If you do, you have the same al­ternative.
After letting me take it easy
in the Army for a while, they
sent me back to Auburn to grad­uate.
Then I was ordered to Ft.
Sill to an officer pool. This is an
easy life; all day we rode in jeeps,
and all night we rode in con­vertibles—
what am I saying! -
Up6n arriving at the pool, I
took my sergeant aside and told
him that we would be big bud­dies,
and that I would overlook
the fact that he was not a col­lege
man. After serving several
months on KP, I finally got
another look at the outside world.
On To Infantry
I was on a train looking out.
It seems that the Army had de­cided
that my talent lay not in
my handling of guns, but in the
way I walked. I failed to con­vince
them that if I had really
been able to walk, I would have
won the Cake Race.
When they let me off the train, representative told me we would

like-I-am technique.
This, as you no doubt halve
heard, is tough. I didn't mind the
ten days with only one can of
water; I didn't rhlnd the ten hifle
walks — double time — we took
every day, or the blisters I got;
I didn't mind the sergeant's con­stant
nagging at me; but what
really got me down Was having
to retire at 9 p. m.—while the
evening was yet in its infancy.
Why, back here in Auburn at
9 I was just getting—but that's
another story.
Sarge Gives Up
After three months of basic
training, I wore the sergeant
completely out, and he graduated
me so he could recuperate in
peace.
Next move in my stragetic sup-erplan
was to go to OCS, and af­ter
the usual delays, I arrived-*—
With my bars already on. ThiSj I
found was a mistake. After that
guardhouse, even OCS was nice.
They gave us studying to do—
but I found out that you can
goldbrick just as well in the
Army as you can at Auburn.
Records
When it was time to graduate,
they couldn't find any bad marks
on my record —- in fact, they
couldn't find my record at all.
Someone had swiped it the night
before—I've been wondering how
I got out of that room without
waking myself up. So they put
my name on the list, and the
Colonel handed me a diploma the
next day with the other boys.
I've found out that these little
bars mean you can get away with
murder—and if you ever get in
a tight, you can always hock
them as pure gold.

"LIBRARIAN MARY, HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW!"
x By MARTHA LEE
Even to those who know the
head librarian only slightly it is
apparent that one of Miss Mary
Martin's chief interests is flowers.
One is met on entering the library
by the sight of numerous vases
of flowers—eye-catching not only
by their variety of types and col­ors,
but by their unusual combin­ations
and arrangments. Miss
Martin usually comes in with a
new vase or armful of bloosoms,
or if she is not seen, it may be
that she is in the garden, straight­ening
a plant a little, pulling a
dead bloosom here, gathering an
armful of flowers there and then
pausing on the way in again to
stoop and pull a week which had
passed her earlier inspections.
Mrs. Thatch, wife of the presi­dent
of Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute,
was so interested in Miss
Marin's having a garden that she
sent her janitor over to dig Up
the first plot. That first garden,
with its pool, was laid out by the
side of the old library, where the
reading rooms were later build.
"There were three miles of iris
in curved rows about the library
grounds before the building was
done, "Miss Martin said. When
the garden had to be moved,
many of the iris plants were giv­en
away and the others were
"banked" beside the fence. j
"Some of the plants have quite
a story behind them." Miss Mar­tin
said and began telling of their
origin. "The Ginger, or Butter­fly
lilies were given by Professor
Kirkley; Mrs. Wilmore gave the
blue' lilies and the white cherry
trees. The iris came from South
Carolina, and I brought the da­hlias
from Colorada". The dahlias
became distributed all over Au­burn,"
she continued, "but I lost
mine."
Auburn's uncertain weather in­terferes
very little with Miss
Martin's gardening. In fact she
said, "I like to work best when
its pouring rain because things

Dean Petrie Catches Coeds' Ears
Af Convocation With Coaching Tales
First Football Game
With Gawjia Described
Speaking before the entire coed
population of API at Convocation
last Thursday afternoon Dr.
George Petrie told the story of
Auburn's first varsity football
game. • .
The team was organized in
1892. Previous to that time one
half of the college had played the
other half on the lawn in front
of the main building.
Dean Petrie went, that year,
to the University of Virginia to
see Addison Greenway about
the rules. "An old school friend
of mine, he took me up to his
room and showed me how the
game was played and how to fall
on the ball."
Here at. that time there were
300 students, all boys. "What a
firie opportunity it would have
been for a few girls", Dean Petrie
added.
Versus Gawja
. "Our first opponent was the
University of Georgia, whom we
played in Atlanta on the 20th of
February. When I went to Athens
to make arrangements with the
manager of their team he asked
. me if I would like to come out
on the field and see them prac­tice.
I hesitated, feeling that it
would be not quite ethical. How­ever
he insisted, and we went.
Saw the prettiest interference
I've ever seen. I came home with
the Auburn blues."
"Going to the game we had a
special train of two cars, and the
engine, of course. One" car was
for the Auburn team and one was
for the boys from Stark School
in Montgomery.
"In Atlanta when we reached
the old Kimball House Georgia
was yelling "Rah, Rah, Rah,
Gawja!" Stirring the spirit of
the Auburn team, the yell was
returned with "Rah, Rah, Ree,
Alabama AMC" (Auburn was
then Alabama Agricultural and
Mechanical College).
In Tally Ho
"Just before the game what do
"We see but a Tally Ho? Do
you know what a Tally Ho is?
. . . . the horse and buggy equi­valent
of a Rolls Royce . . . It
was flaunting the Georgia colors
in gay style.
"When we got out to Grant
Field it was raining. When the
game was over that horse and
Tally Ho looked just like one of
you girls running across the cam­pus
in the rain except that it
had on shoes."
In spite of the weather an un­precedented
crowd appeared at
the game—2000 attended. In fact,
this was such an amazing number
that an article written about it
by Dean Petrie was published in
Harper's Weekly.
"That was true, real rain, which
got harder as the game went on,"
he said.
The enthusiasm of the crowd
was great. So great that one lady
who lived where the library now
stands beat the man sitting in
front of her on the head with her
umberella. "She was a fine lady,
too," said Dr. Petrie. "One of the
finest I've ever known".
We Won
"That rain helped us. The
Georgian interference did not
materialize in the mud. That was
a real game. Not one substitution
was made in either of the 45 min­ute
halves. At the end the score
was ten to nothing in Auburn's
favor.
"After the game, Georgia, I
presume, went back in the Tally
Ho. But to keep our boys from
catching cold I walked them back
to the hotel (three miles). Pro­fessor
McKissick our center, was a
young engineering teacher here.
At that time the young instruc­tors
played with the team, and a
finer thing there never was to in­crease
good feeling between fa­culty
and students. If you don't
believe it ask Dean Hare in the
chemistry department. He played
on that team.
Rush Rides
"Prof. McKissick didn't like to
walk and before I knew it a HMT
(hug-me-tight) buggy came cruis­ing
by. Two drummers had
squeezed him in between them
and were trotting down the road,
yelling their version of our cheer:
"Rah, Rah, Ree, Alabama ABC".

Wally Beery's coming to town
—next Sunday and Monday—in
his newest film, "Barbary Coast
Gent," a comedy-drama of San
Francisco's Barbary Coast and of
the early Nevada gold-field days.
Playing the role of Honest
Plush Brannon—the honest being
his own disignation—he is co-starred
with Binnie Barnes. She
possesses an acid tongue and a
soft spot in her heart for Bran­non.
Despite all of her pleading to
marry him, Plush insists he must
be a success first—without, of
course, resorting to work. After a
shooting duel with his old part­ner,
played by John Carradine,
Brannon leaves town and winds
up in Gold Town, Nevada, where
the citizenry's impression that he
is an important financier is not
dispelled by Plush. \
He gets mixed lip in a romance
between beautiful Frances Raf-ferty
and handsome young Bruce
Kellogg; starts to "take" the
townspeople but decides to go
straight when he discovers a
real, honest-to-goodness mine,
and gets involved in numerous
and hilarious scrapes in the pro­cess
of becoming an honest busi­ness
man.
"Barbary Coast Gent," will
play at the Tiger Theatre next

had made the mistake of think­ing
this was a cultural college."
Showing a picture of the first
team Dean Petrie went on to
say that the handsomest man in
the picture was the other fellow
on the coaching staff. The colored
boy was their "rub-down" boy
"And the third handsomest man,"
he said, "is me."
"Notice that derby hat. I wore
it that year and the next and
the next. On and on, until the
styles got far from its brim. Then
I gave it to the colored boy. Now
it's back in fashion again.
"That night at the old Kimball
House I saw the most beautiful
woman I had ever seen. I fell in
love with her. The jriext year,
when she was seventeen, we were
married."
"Financing the team was more
difficult than coaching it," he
stated. "Being Presbyterian, how­ever,
I believed in predestination,
and sure enough, things came out
right in the end. In fact, there
was a little money left over.
Raises Cane
"The team took the surplus
fund and bought two gold-head­ed
walking sticks to give to the
other coach and me, but the pres­ident
of the college got wind of it
and called them up to tell them
that it was a college rule that
no student could make a present
to a member of the faculty.
So instead we both received
a notice that there were two
canes in the Treasurer's Office
and if we wanted them we could
go there and get them."
He then held up the cane for
the audience to see.

Tech Trips Tigers In Heartbreaker
Auburn Leads In All But Score 1 ——
TACKLES
By Bill Pierce
Before 20,000 enthusiastic fans in Atlanta, the Auburn
Tigers rose to magnificent heights to outplay the highly-rated
Ga. Tech Yellow Jackets only to be beaten by a passing
attack that just wouldn't be stopped.
A quick glance at the statistics of the game will explain
why the game was so unusual.
Auburn Tech

Fd. Passes Att. 25 23

Opp. Fumbles Ret. 3 4

The Tigers, as a whole, were
equal to Tech, the difference was
in the fact that Tech clicked in
the -clutch and Auburn clicked
until it got in the clutch. Ga. Tech
is as good as any team on the
Auburn schedule and by common
deductions we can expect "the
Tigers to make an excellent show­ing
from here on in.
Tech's first score came in the
closing minutes of the_iirst half
when Jim Dorough got behind
the Auburn secondary and took
a pass from Dinky Bowen good
for 20 yards and a score. Bowen
converted. The second maker
came on the first play of the
fourth period on a fake statue of
liberty play. Broyles passed to
glue-fingered Dorough who took
it on the three yard line and fell
over. Bowen missed the try for
extra point. The third score came
a few minutes later when Tex
Ritter flipped a honey of a pass
into the out-streached arms of,
George Matthews. Bowen place-kicked
perfectly and the score
read 20-0 against the Tigers.
Broyles passed to Murdoch just
a few seconds before the final
gun for the last six-pointer.
Bowen converted and there was
the ball game.
The young Tigers took a lot
at the finish. They were immens-
BACKS
Joe Wozniak, probably t he
leading tackle on the -Tiger
squad, is one yankee who does
right by the South. He is from
Shenandoah Heights, Pa.
Russell Inman, former Birm­ingham
prep star is adding lots
to the Auburn backfield. He
was a constant gainer against
Tech.
WAA Volleyball
Tourney Ends
Emerging from last week's
WAA volleyball games as league
winners, Delta Zeta, Alumni Hall,
Alpha Gamma Delta, and Chi
Omega will go on to determine
the championship team in the
semi-finals this week.
None of the league winners
were defeated. Delta Zeta and
Alpha Gamma Delta had prev­iously
captured the championship
of League I and HI, and did not
play last week.
Pi Kappa Phi girls defeated
Susan Smith, 31-27 last Monday
in League I. Alumni Hall won in
League H by a forfeit from Phi
Delta Theta girls. In League Ill's
game, Pi Omega Phi bested the
Alpha Delta Pi by only two
points, winning 30-28. Chi Omega
defeated Theta Upsilon, 42-30,
winning League J/V championship.
Dormitory I turned back Susan
ly popular and certainly covered
themselves with glory. The whole
team was good and if there were
any individual stars they were
Sanders, Kuykendall, Wozniak,
Warrington and Dupuy.
Next week finds the Tigers
battling the Navy-blessed Green
Wave of Tulane down in New
Orleans. Unfortunately the stu­dent
body won't be able to go
almost en masse as it did to At­lanta.
The Auburn Spirit covered
Atlanta like the "Journal Covers
Dixie". Every one was gay in
spite of the loss as is evidenced
by the way they "floated" back.

AROUND THE INTRAMURAL BOARD
The interfrat football season is over except for the most
important part—the play off. We find the following teams
fighting for championship: Alpha Psi, OTS, and PiKA. OTS
play PiKA Wednesday at 4 p. m. Alpha Psi plays the looser
of the PiKA-OTS game Friday at 4. Instructions have not
been made yet for the finals.
RESULTS OF LAST WEEKS GAMES
Alpha Psi handed SAE a 6-0 defeat. OTS galloped over
ATO, 26-6. PiKA scored over OTS second, 14-0. OTS bested
SPE, 19-6. Kappa Sig over Delta Sig, 7-0. -
* * *
After the varsity game in Atlanta I think we almost forget
the touch football. As everyone knows, Tech won the
game by the score of 27-0.1 have heard quite a few folks say
we would have won the game if it hadn't been for our
fumbles. Tech fumbled. I have seen quite a few All-Ameri­can's
fumble. It's all in the game. It doesn't sound so good
for an Auburn student to gripe about the way individuals
played Saturday. Just sit tight and watch our boys take the
remainder of their schedule.
