WELCOME DAPS THE PLAINSMAN TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT WELCOME GRADS VOLUME LI AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1927 NUMBER 5 COACH DAVID MOREY TENDERS RESIGNATION EFFECTIVE TODAY ANNOUNCEMENT COMES LIKE BOMBSHELL AT MASS MEETING STUDENTS, TEAM DUMFOUNDED AT HIS ACTION King David Offers To Help Team - TEAM SORROW STRICKEN Coach Announces His Decsion When Called on for Talk With the announcement early Friday evening of David B. Moray's resignation as head coach of the Ala* bama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn faced a crisis on the ere of the annual homecoming football classic. Announcement Unexpected At the greatest mass meeting ever seen at Auburn, the beloved Coach announced his attitude to an awe stricken student body. The resignation handed to Dr. Dowell yesterday will take effect tonight, was the announcement as made by Coach Mo-rey, in his brief address. The speaker reviewed his years at Auburn and expressed his love for the institution in no uncertain terms. The student body was quick to place itself solidly behind the Coach, and backed him to a man. This stunning news left the students with little enthusiasm for the mass meeting. Coach Morey came to Auburn in the fall of 1925 as head coach at the helm of the Tiger football team. He came to the Plains after having spent (Continued on Page 6.) FLORIDA GAME HOMECOMING DAY FEATURE Tigers Determined To Turn Back Gators Enrollment For This Year Given Out by Registrar Over Fifteen Hundred Students Enrolled The student enrollment at Auburn for the year 1927-28 again goes over the 1500 mark, as shown by figures from the registrar's office. Dispelling rumors that the student body is greatly lessened this year, the total enrollment of 1536 students as compared to the 1463 students enrolled at mid-semester last year shows 5 percent gain in number of students instead of a loss. As usual, the freshman class enrolled the greatest number, 464. However, the Sophomore class with 425 students is a close contender for enrollment prestige. Next in line are the Juniors, with 314 students on its roll and then come the seniors and fifth year students. Aside from these enrolled in regular classes there are 15 special students and 11 graduate students. So far this year 11 men have been unable to stand the pace and have resigned. In the enrollment by courses the (Continued on page 6) SORORITIES BIRTHDAY OF PHILLIPINE GOVERNOR OBSERVED HERE Auburn Men Are Honored by U.S. War Department Six Auburn Men Are Honor Graduates Pledges Announced By Three Sororities END RUSHING OPENING DANCES SEASON HEREAREAMONGBEST EVER HELD HERE Featuring the many events of Homecoming Day, the 1927 Auburn Tigers will clash with the strong University of Florida outfit on Drake Field. This will mark the continuation of football relations between Auburn and Florida teams, with all of the previous tilts being won by the Plainsmen. But, the Gators boast of a strong and mighty crew; sun browned and ready to go. Opposing their best wishes will be a rejuvenated Tiger Eleven. Morey is also determined to come across on the winning side and- will spare nothing to gain his end. Twice the Orange and Blue lads have gone into the fray, only to be victims of chance, and were turned away with the short end of the score card. The third time is due to be the climax. A climax much looked forward to, for Auburn has not lost but one Homecoming game on records. This Saturday , the entire squad will be physically fit and in the best of spirits. All of the injured have returned to their regular berths ready to give their best. As to the visitors, not a little is to be said. They not only boast of a strong Eleven, but actually have one. In their first two games surprising results appeared. First they triump-ed over the mighty aggregation from Southern College, 26-7. Crabtree, light-footed quarter-back succeeded in getting lose for 67 yards' in this fray. The second game proved an upsett to all obtainable dope. Davidson, S. I. A. A. representative, came out on top with a 12-0 score. Yet the main stays of the Florida team were out on the .injured list, Crabtree and Middle-kauf being among those out. And, there's the foreign dope. They're here, they can see, but they'll never (Continued on Page 6.) Monday closed a very successful pledging season for the sororities on the campus. The four sororities announce a total of nineteen pledges. This followed the close of the annual rush season. The Kappa Delta Sorority announce the following pledges: Misses Irene Brown, San Marcos, Texas; Mildred Dimmitt, Auburn; Flora Hickman, Birmingham; Mamye Miller, Nana-falga; Grace Moon, Hamilton; Mildred Moore and Miriam Moore of Opelika. ^ Pledged to Chi Omega Sorority are: Misses Patricia Askew, DeFun-iak Springs, Florida; Lois Bostic, Hamilton; Evelyn Henry, Montgomery; Bernice McMillian, Stockton; Ruth Murray, Mobile; and Odelle Stewart of Weoguska, Alabama. The latest national sorority on the campus, Phi Alpha Chi, announce as their pledges: Misses Emma Jo Atkins, Auburn; Ruth Frisbie, Auburn; Margaret Lowrenz, Elberta; Edna Earl Pennington, Auburn; Lois Wells, Gantt; and Myrtie Wilson of Roanoke, Alabama. The Sigma Rho Sorority is going national this fall and will not announce any pledges as a local.

(Continued on Page 6.) • Miss Dobbs Praises Conduct of Boys "With the exception of too much dating after 12o'clock Saturday night, the opening dances were the quietest and best behaved dances to date," according to Miss Zoe Dobbs, director of social activities at Auburn. She further stated that they were the most sober dances on record during the sixteen jubilees. "Of course", Miss Dobbs continued, "I don't want the boys to think that there was absolutely no drinking for there was, but there was much less of it". Tnere was an excellent personnel and everyone seemed to have more wholesome fun. The campus was much quieter this time, and other than the exception of late Saturday", Miss Dobbs concluded, "I have no criticism to make." Correction Through error the following names of distinguished students were omitted from the list printed in the last issue of the Plainsman: Junior Class Highest Distinction Allan Parks Francis, Mech.

Walker Talks At Convocation Senator J. A. Walker, of Opelika, held the entire hall in profound interest for thirty minutes with his relation of Legislative measures in regard to increased state funds for Auburn. Senator Walker, having receiver a Bachelor's degree from Auburn in 1908 and Master's in 1909 has his heart in the advancement of Auburn, and effectively set forth his plans along this line in his brilliant speech. Last weeks convocation period was featured by Dr. Tidwell's speech along the same line. This move is of exceeding interest to the student body and was manifested by attentive listening. A Correction Last week's Plainsman contained an elaborate description of Dr. Thomas' new home, but mentioned the fact that it was given him by the college. This is a mistake. The college had nothing to do with the building of the house. It was built entirely by the personal funds of Dr. Thomas.

In a War Department Bulletin just received at Fourth Corps Area Headquarters, thirty-five young men from the Distinguished Colleges and Honor Military Schools of the Corps Area were named as Honor Graduates. Young men so designated for excelling in military training and scholastic standing were as follows: Frbm Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala., John E. Barnes, Clyde Hendrix,, Forney H. Ingram, Harris S. Lynne, Win. H. Putnam, and John^M. Wilder. ' Among other colleges and schools having honor graduates were Georgia Tech with seven,-Clemson, Louisana State four, Florida three, Georgia Military Academy three, Riverside three-and Davidson College two. For the entire United State but one hundred and fifty-five honor graduates were designated. Based only on population, the proportion for the Fourth Corps Area would have been but seventeen.

Designation as an honor graduate of a Distinguished College or an Honor Military School carries with it the privilege of commission in the Regular Army or appointment to the United States Military Academy without mental examination, if vacancies permit. Athletes to Hold Dance Saturday In Alumni Gym. An attractive feature of this year's -Homecoming Day will be the "A" Club dance to be given Saturday night at the Alumnae Gymnasium. Elaborate plans have been made by the. committee in charge and an enjoyable time is promised all of those who attend. The Florida game is drawing many visitors to Auburn, a large percentage of whom are expected to attend the dance, which starts at nine o'clock and ends at twelve sharp. Music for the affair will be furnished by the school Orchestra, composed of eight students who are said to furnish as good music as can be found anywhere. The Orchestra is composed of the following: Charline Baughman, Max Jones, Jimmy Ware, Levin Foster,. S. A. Hardin, Jimmy Cone, J. B. Jones and J. Brown. From all indications it promises to be the best dance that the "A" Club has given in many a day. Don't miss it. KEYS SELECT MEN FROM CLASS OF '31 The Keys, a Local Interfraternity, select as future wearers of the "Skull and Crosskeys" the following men as pledges: Columbus, Ga.; James.

Leonard Wood, Major General U. S. Army, has finished his service to America, and to the world. • 2. He was one of America's great men; a great friend; a great soldier; a great statesman; and one* of the greatest colonial administrators the world has ever produced.

Enters Army Early General Wood was born at Winchester, N. H., Oct. 9, 1860, and first entered his career of service in 1886, when he was appointed assistant Surgeon, U. S. A. He immediately saw active service in the Indian Campaigns and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor "for distinguished conduct in Indian Campaigns, as a Medical and line officer in 1886." On May 8, 1898 he was promoted to Colonel and placed in command of 1st U. S. Volunteer Cavalry, more familiarly known as the famous "Rough Riders" the regiment organized by Theodore Roosevelt. As a result of his services at Las Guasimas and San Juan Hill he was promoted to Brigadier General July 8, 1898 and on August 8, 1903 he became a Major General, U. S. A. He retired from the Army in 1921 at his own request, after 30 years service, to. accept the appointment as Governor General of the Phillipine Islands, which office he held until the date of his death, August 7, 1927. Serves With Distinction Although educated for the medical profession and appointed to the Army as a medical Officer, he early demonstrated his capacity for the military profession, and served with distinction as a line Officer throughout his career. In addition to holding the position of Chief of Staff of the Army, and other high Army commands, he served as military gover- (Continued on Page 6.)

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT: Today is Homecoming Day in Auburn. The Rats are beginning to receive notices from the Vigilance Committee. Will this mean a cessation of bigheaded Rats? Let us hope this work is carefully and effectively directed. Measures are in order by which Co-eds may not attend clubs and meetings at night without a male escort. This matter was brought before a lively campus club of more than a hundred attendants this week. A figure eight has replaced the seven on the main tank. Even though our football team has met defeat in the first two games, this does not mean that all coming games of this season are destined to go- likewise. Keep alive that interest that means so much to the team that seems to be cast out by the Mike Donahue's team will test Alabama's mettle at Rickwood today. And even though he is slated to lose, no doubt the game will prove interesting. Babe Ruth has broken his old home run record, and might now be termed, "Swat King II." Bill Young is assisting us in receiving fresh and interesting reports of the World Series baseball games. Pat Mpulton, athletic star here last year, is in town this. week. Occasionally a Rat steals off to his room in solitude and there meekly hums, "Be it ever so humble there's no place like home." three highway engineers that compose the above group. These men have a publication' that ranks high among the journals of the engineering colleges throughout the United States. This year will see the rise of The Auburn Engineer to even greater achievements. The staff has met great difficulty in getting support from the engineering students. • This is deplorable because the publication is one of merit. To date there are only two hundred three subscribers and before the publication can ba recognized by the national engineering magazines assiciated the subscriptions must total seventy five per cent of the total number of students in the engineering school. It is therefore necessary for Auburn engineers to lend their support tb the publication. Five hundred twenty more engineers must subscribe before the Auburn Enginer can come to the front. As yet is is very young, being in its third year. Support your publication and help its standing and incidentally the representation of Auburn. We want our engineering school and its influence to enter the literary field and keep pace with the work of the graduates who hold positions in the front rank of scientific endeavor and engineering achievements. SUBSCRIBE NOW LET US LIVE TODAY The man who cannot think, cannot concentrate is not educated regardless of the number of college degrees he may have. In 713 B. C. was written this prophecy of the modern motor car: "The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways; they shall seem like torches, they shall run'like the lightening^" One of the time honored traditions at Auburn is that of giving a cordial greeting to those one meets on the streets or campus. Lest some should be neglectful let us remind you to have a cheery "hello" for everybody. It calls for little effort on your part and goes a long way toward making life worth while. Many students conceive the idea that they will not enter into student affairs. These students are constantly ready and willing to criticise. They are are in the habit of making no mistakes because they do nothing. Those of a retiring nature should enter into discussions of vital interest to them for by so doing they are developing themselves and helping the student body. If radical measures are under discussion those who oppose such should openly express themselves. Above all it is not always best to be with the crowd. It is well to remember that there are three~ sides to every question. It is best to first investigate, weigh, then act. Pope has truly said "Be not the first by whom the new are tried nor yet the last to lay the last to lay the old aside." THROW OUT THE LIFE LINE According to a statement made public by the Dean of the School of Engineering we note that there- are a total of six hundred eight eight students enrolled who come under his jurisdiction. There are three hundred twenty eight electricals, one hundred forty five civils, sixty seven chemicals, twenty nine architectural and WELCOME ALUMNI Both the college faculty and the student body of Auburn heartily welcome the alumni who are visiting the institution this week-end. It is hoped that the work the institution is now doing and has been doing in the past is a credit to^them as alumni. Auburn is proud of its alumni arid greatly indebted to them for the benefits' it has derived from their efforts. The numerous accomplishments they have attained after passing beyond its red brick walls have served to uphold the standards of the'in-stitution.' No doubt it will be found that in some cases some will find that a, few changes have taken place in Auburn, while others will find a number of decided improvements. These have been brought about by progress, based on the work done in the past by Auburn men as well as by outsiders. It will also be found that there still remains the old Auburn spirit which has ever been handed down to Auburn men. This spirit still exists in its truest form-one of friendship arid good sportsmanship. May Auburn continue to advance and gain each year over the past so that in the years to come, we who are now students, may look back and discern how Auburn has progressed materially as well as spiritually, approaching a perfect day. SPEAKING GOOD ENGLISH For a number of years it has been a custom for the majority of college students to use slang to some extent in their every day associations and on the campus. In some cases it is almost natural. However such a habit has, from experience, developed into a slothfulness in the use of the English language. This is especiaaly noticeable on the Auburn campus. Several days ago a number of students were crowed in the student supply shop, among whom were several co-eds. Ensuing from a conversation, among these ladies, on clothing one of them was heard to say in a tone, above all the others, "They ain't got no such dress." An out-of-town visitor happened to Be standing near and heard the expression. He was immediately struck and indignantly remarked to ,orie near-by, "Is that the kind of English that is taught to the college students at Auburn?" vNo doubt the one guilty of the expression knows better, but through carelessness failed to observe how it may sound or realizes just to what an undesirable .habit it will lead. This is merely one of the many instances which occur each day among the various groups of students as they gather or meet on the campus and on the streets. Probably some of the expressions are heard only locally but think of the terrible habit that is being acquired! If everyone will watch his use of his grammar more closely each day and try to go beyond the primitive stage of slang and incorrect phrasing he will find to how great an extent it will aid him individually as well as- prevent outsiders from forming the wrong impression of Auburn and its teachings. HAS FIFTY-FIVE YEARS OF AUBURN SPIRIT COME TO THIS? The Plainsman's attention has • been drawn to the following article printed in a Covington County newspaper. This letter, sent by a college boy to his Father, was used as an argument against further state appropriations to the various colleges in Alabama. Purely by. accident we happen to know that this letter was written by an AUBURN RAT. Such are the facts in the case. Needless to say the Rats name will not be given out, as we still have some elements of mercy left in us, even in the face of such a damning epistle as this. We would like to ask the student body if they consider this the way that an Auburn man should express himself. Apart from the fact that this greatly exaggerated and grossly untrue outline of affairs at Auburn was used in a serious attempt to persuade the voters of Alabama not to give any money to the state colleges, when they need it so badly, we are especially humi-ated to think that we have men of this calibre registered in Auburn. It seems a great pity to us that such men as these should even be allowed on the football field, let alone forced to yell themselves hoarse in support of the team. But read the letter for yourselves, and draw your own conclusions. Some Things That The Tax Payer's Money Is Going For The following extracts are from a letter written by a Covington County boy who is. trying to get an education. He is now in college. We will leave the name of the college blank, also withhold the boy's name. But the original letter is before us. It was written by the boy to his father and was not intended for publication so we will merely quote portions of it which wil} show what one goes up against when he goes to college. And while we are reading this, we might remember that millions of dollars of tax money squeezed out of the people of the state are being used to keep such things going on in the name of education. And we are going to be called on to vote a 20-million dollars bond issue, soon. We are wondering if a large portion of it is going to be used to keep up such things as this boy says exists in one of our public institutions. --. - The extracts aTe as follows: "The next time anybody tells me that is the place to go if you want to be a gentleman I think it would take all I could do to keep from hitting him.

He had a good time according to his book. He watched a sun rise over the- Alps from the summit of the Matterhorn; he watched a moon sail across the sky from the summit of Gil-bralter; he swam a starlight Nile, and loved a pale Kashmuri maiden beside the Shalimar. Then he came home,, but on" a day in an idle hour he picked up his Tennyson and turned to Ulysses. That was the starter for The Glorious Adventure recently published. With the Odyssey for a guide-book, off he set on the trail of Ulysses. What is more, he followed it! This isn't the kind of book I like to read through at a sitting. It's a bed book, if you know what I mean,—one' that helps you drift off easily after a dozen pages of Ithacan sunsets and blue grottos, of mountain shepherd boys and Sun gods, starlit Parthenons and moonlit colonnades all from the '"storied shores of Greece." THEN AND NOW Reminiscences from the Orange and Blue, issue of Saturday, Oct. 5,~ 1912 Appearing on the front page of this issue is a poem, entitled "My Girl," which sets forth in radiant manner the gesticulations of some poor victim of the now common affliction—love. One particular line carries on thus: "I love her—anybody would." Nowadays we note that poems of this nature aren't usually sent through the columns of a paper; instead they are tenderly delivered in person, the dainty ear of the object being the mailbox. Suffer us to reconstruct the line quoted above, however, so that it may fit modern occasions: "I love her—everbody does!" * * * * * _ The previous" issue carries a rather elaborate poem on the editorial page, entitled "Little Lady." WHAT IS THY NAME Did you bring a name with you when you came to college? If so what do you intend to make of it? These are questions that concern the individual. In reply one might ask, what is a name? To the author of a book it means sales, to the actor it means popularity, to the manufacturer success. Those who have gone before have spent their lives to make names that have' become bywords. Is not the reward ample compensation for our effdrts? A good name brings honor to ourselves, glory to our God, gratification to those who love us and an inspiration to our fellow men. Is it then not worth something? Then why not strive to make, it worthwhile? _ A conductor is paid to tell people where to get off. -mere were eleven ivem soda-water bottles full of booze drank in the house where I am boarding. I didn't see it going on, but the bottles were in the bath room next morning, when I went to bathe. I haven't seen any more here since then, but I have been told that there is much drinking at the dances here. Then there is another thing that goes on here that is much worse. A girl who Has any decency about her would never come here to school if she knew how things are here. I have found that it isnot a place for me, either. Whatever an upper classman wants a freshman to do, he must do it regardles-j of what it is, or get one of the hardest beatings he ever got in his life. They make the freshman go to the football games, or anything else they take a notion to send them to. They make the freshman go -to fihe "pep meetings" and holler themselves hoarse and use such language I would not have mother or sister listen at for anything in the world; still they claim it is all right. The preachers (?) here support it too by being present at every one of them. Girls and boys all go to this hyprocritical, half-crazed, ignorant mass of mush. It would not bother me so much if they would let me alone and praise the Devil for themselves. They will tell you that you don't have tp 'take part in these affairs; but at the same time they cast a threat on you with a board if you don't. My roommate, who came here from •—said it was not any worse, if not better, there than it is here. He said there was no distinction between a freshman nor any other person there. If this place is the best, or one of the best places for me to get an education,- I don't want it. I would rather be a gentleman. I think I could work out my own education from books, and have one that would do me as much good as any I would get here. I know it would not. cost as much, (about $400 a year cheaper, to be exact). If I have to come back here after Christmas, I am through, ABSOLUTELY THROUGH. There have already been several to leave here, by order of their parents and return home. Several more have said they hoped they would not be sent back after Christmas. "Now, Papa, I know you will think I am mad while I am writing this. But I feel the best I have since I have been here. I haven't been mad since yesterday evening when they made me holler myself hoarse at the football game. But I haven't failed to say just what I thought. I didn't say all I think, though; that would take too much space. I know when my character is being imposed upon.

But one thing, I don't like to stay around a bunch of-boys (here). Their language is not altogether fit for a true Christian's son to have to listen to." If you know your legendary Greek, you are looking ahead with familiar partizan-ship; if you don't Haliburton manages to weave in the old story, so you'll know what it's all about, and wont miss the point of his duplications. There is adventure in the book for the thrill lovers—perilous mountain climbs, endurance testing swims, (you've guessed it! He swam the Hellespont!) and so .on. There is humor, too, of a delightful, masculine sort. Once he offered up sour cheese and mastika as a sacrifice to Jupiter. Romance isn't left out either; that is, the girl kind, for there are Rosa, and Jimmy and Mignon. The Glorious Adventure, perhaps, is just another travel book. There have been several good ones before, you know: A Sen-timenal Journey, The Voyage to Libson, Lemuel Gulliver's, Robinson Crusoe's, and many, many others. But, after all, wouldn't you expect something pretty fine from a chap who admits he has worshipped in turn Alexander, Richard Couer de Lion, Lord Byron and Rupert Brooke? KENNETH L.

This question seems to hold uppermost sway in the minds of Howard students. At least they should give it serious consideration.

We wish to compliment them. • President James Rowland Angell, of Yale, defended his tribe of prexies when the New York Times declared editorially that college heads are not selected from the company of scholars. We believe that the head of a college should be a business man whose primary purpose it is to get money for the college. If students want personal contact then have a dean of men to call everybody by their first name. The •day when the president is required to be a scholar is fast disappearing. According to the New Student the freshman enrollment at the University of Michigan is 200 less than last year. It is thought that the ban on automobiles has been responsible for the decrease. Twenty one college and university presidents, not one promoted from the faculty or chosen from the state, were elected in 1927, says the Journal of Education. None of the new presidents were subject specialists, or engaged in political or business careers. While the Journal suggests that this range of selection is indicative of an underlying movement, it does not offer an explanation.

In proof of this statement we have only to recite the story of the co-ed who in arranging her schedule in Home Economics was not sure of what she had to take. The tale goes that a certain well-known co-ed went into Dean Judd's, office to put the finishing touches on her "schedule. After she had given the little white slips to the Dean for his approval, she suddenly exclaimed, "I've forgotten something. Oh! it's my Clothing." Now if the Dean had not been a man who had learned to think swiftly and act even more so, he might have been in a pickle. From the best information obtainable, it has been learned that Geo.

CLUB By way of introduction on the cam pus, the Home Economics Club showed its spirit by entertaining the new Home Economics Students ai'd the Agricultural Clubs Friday night in front of Comer Hall. The guests were served punch as they entered the campus. When all arrived, games began by the first being a "Tie To-gether" game. 'Each man struggled to unwind his string from the trees or posts to find his allotted partner at the other end. This game was followed by many other active and interesting one, after which all enjoyed the victrola music. In the eight states comprising the Fourth Corps Area 798 R. O. T. C. students of twenty four institutions were rectnly awarded commissions as Second Lieutenants in the Officers Reserve Corps. Based on the nam ber commissioned to the strength of the entire student body, the percentages places Clemson Agricultural College first, the Citadel, second, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, third and. Georgia Tech fourth, though in actual numbers commissioned Georgia Tech stood first, Clemson College second and Alabama Polytechnic third with all of them close. In the entire United States and Hawaii 98 per cent of those offered commissions, accepted them, whereas in this Corps Area, according to the records at Headquarters, not a single R. 0. T. C. student declined the commission tenderd him. This reveals a gratifying record for the entire country and particularly for this Corps Area. It indicates the popularity of R. O.

S: Suggs, assistant professor of the Veterinary department, to the Ag. club at the regular Wednesday night program. Dr. Suggs was introduced to the club by Pres. Williams in connection with the speaker for the next meeting which will be Dr. McAdory, also of the Veterinary department. There are three classes of diseases that were mentioned by Dr. Suggs, which are nutritional, parasitic, and infections. These are all prevalent over the country at all times. Nutritional and parasitic diseases are very numerous while there are only twenty-five or thirty infectious dis-seases known. When it comes to the nutritional diseases something has to be done to furnish better balanced and better prepared rations," Dr. Suggs, declared. He also" said, "the chief way of handling parasitic diseases is by a general rotation of feeding places of the flock or herd." "Infectious diseases must be handled in a very sepcif ic way or the damage is done immediately," declared, t h e speaker. Further statement brought out the fact that, the sick animal should be removed and diagnosed, the source of trouble should be found, the other animals vaccinated —provided the disease is controlled by vaccination—, and a' general cleanup and disinfection given all the housing places of the animals. The sunlight is one of the best disinfectants. H. G. McCall said the farmer must wake up and produce more per man hour.

THE PLAINSMAN Tigers Battle With Florida 'Gators on Campus Today X SPORTS Auburn Rats Tie Howard Pups in 0-0 Game Here Tiger Yearlings Drive Into Scoring Distance Twice, Fumbles Costly The Auburn freshmen and the freshmen of Howard College battled through four stubborn quarters with neither team able to push over a touchdown and the game ended in a 0 to 0.status here Saturday. While the Bullpups put up a good brand of football, it was generally conceded that the baby plainsmen held a silght edge, inasmuch as most of the playing was done Th Howard territory and the charges of Coach Brown threatened seriously on two occasions to score while the Birmingham lads, never handed a scare to the Auburnites. Near the end of the first half a pass, Bell to Culpepper, for Auburn, put the ball in Auburn's possession on Howard's 15 yard line. Bell and Wingo alternating the ball forced the Lollar lads to their own four yard line when a fumble on the second down lost possession of the ball for Auburn. A fumble again by the local lads in the third quarter on Howard's 12 yard line lost another opportunity that looked like an opportune time to carry over the winning counter. But with these two exceptions the ball was kept near midfield, except when booted out by the two elevens. Punting of a high character was frequent by both teams. For Auburn on the line Big Boy Newton, substituting for Jacob at tackle played a fine game, as did Jacob before his retirement. Har-kins at center, Baby Taylor at tackle and Dreaden also at tackle, were outstanding. Hill, local lad, Lee County Hi., handled his job in the line well In the back division Quarterback Chambless stood foremost in the lime light. He displayed fine generalship for a freshman, was effective in advancing the ball, and handled his played a good defensive game as did Herron. The big outstanding feature from the Auburn viewpoint was the freshman line. The entire lineup made an excellent oppearance in its debut into Auburn football. For Howard, Raymond Davis, a big 190-pound center from Anniston, was easily the star. Davis is big, shifty, and time and again stood out on both offensive and defensive play. Capt. Hargrove at tackle, Memphis lad, played a stellar game of football. "Fatty" Simpson, .Birmingham lad, was a good guard. In the back department Tompkins at half, Jones who substituted for Bullard of Birmingham, and Morris, another Birmingham boy, were the outstanding. "NICK" CARTER Take a look and see if we have not seen this gentleman before. Sure we have, for it is old "Nick" Carter, who is always on the jow when the Tigers are in action. Carter is just a natural football player as anyone knows who has seen him. He is over six feet tall, and is well proportioned. He is a player that really hits a man hard when he tackles, for he has that fighting Tiger spirit that stays with him from! the time the game starts until the last whistle is blown. Carter's home is in Blountsville, where he played four years of football in high school. When he came to Auburn, he played on the Freshman team, where he was one of the main stays on the line. Last year "Nick" made the varsity, and was one of our best linemen, even though it was his first year. He had a wonderful year, and received several bids for all-Southern, which is one of the greatest honors that a football player can receive. Even though we have only played two games this season, we have seen that Carter is even better this year than he was last, if such a thing is possible. He has not forgotten the knack of breaking through the eneiriie'sniHe~snu tnrowmg^mem J.UI losses. "We're all behind you, Carter." The lineup: Auburn—Griffin and Culpepper, ends; Jacob and Taylor, tackles; Herron and Dreaden, guards; Har-kins, center; Chambless, quarter; Bell and Wingo, halves; Summerville, fullback. Howard—Garrett and McGarends, ends, Captain Hargrove and Dew, tackles; Simmons and Simpson, guards; Davis, center; Akin, quarter; Tompkins and "Bullard, halves; Morris, fullback. Officials—Johnson, Georgia Tech, Referee; Bonner, L. S. U., umpire; Baskin, Auburn, headlinesman. In The Enemy Camps L. S. U. L. S. U. easily overcame Southwestern Louisiana institute in Baton Rouge last Saturday by a score of 52 to 0. This is the last non-conference game that she will play before encountering the University of Alabama this week. The Tigers missed the services of Captain Godfrey, who was out on account of a slight injury. He is one of the main stays on the team, and it is hoped that he will be ready to go in the game next week. Southwestern had a one-man team in Klorr, who was a triple threat man. He was in almost every play, and was good on offense and defense. L. S. U. did not have much luck at passes, but hit the line time after time for long gains. The men that gained most for Donahue's team were Mason, Brown, Stovall, and Renfro. The Cavaliers fought until the end of the game, but were outclassed all the way through. The closest that Virginia got to Georgia's goal was at the close of the game, when she reached the Bulldogs 25 yard line. During the whole" game, the Bulldogs had the fight and drive needed to win a game. GEORGIA The University of Georgia beat Virginia 32 to 0 in an impressive game in Athens. The Bulldogs were led by McCrary, who played fullback and was alone responsible for making a touchdown every quarter. There had been some talk of the teams being pretty evenly matched, and some were afraid that the Bulldogs would be whipped. This uneasiness was quickly forgotten when the action started. Georgia's defense was great, for time and again they held the fast Virginia backs without any gain. HOWARD Howard and Loyola staged a hectic battle in Birmingham last week, which ended in a 0 to 0 tie. It was one of the most hard fought games on record, and it showed Howard as having a real football team. "Bucky" Moore, star quarterback for Loyola, made many substantial gains, but was knocked out in the second period by Brown, Howard tackle, after a 20 yard run. His headgear was all that kept him from being killed, and he was unconscious for several hours, suffering/ from a head injury. Billy Bancroft led the attack for the Bulldogs, and played a good brand of football. There were three reasons that Loyola was able to keep their goal line uncrossed. The breaks went to them, and they outpunted and out-passed Howard. Howard, however, had a line that could not be passed over. There was some wonderful playing done by each team. Each had sworn that the other could not pass.

Crawford pointed to Clemson's 1 yard line There were not many long gains made during the game, and every time one team would get close to the goal, something would happen to start the ball back. This game will be long remembered in Birmingham, as one time when the dope was upset, and Howard held the fast Loyola team to a tie. TULANE The Tulane Greenies came from behind to win from 'Ole Miss in a game in New Orleans last week. The final score was 19 to 7. This victory has made the followers of Tulane very enthusiastic over their chance for contending for the S. C. title. The Mississippi bunch outplayed the Greenies in £he first quarter, by tory on short passes. A penalty and several plays put the ball on Tulane's 35 yard line. Walker made a beautiful run through Tulane's defense, but was stopped on the 10 yard line. After two plays Smith made the touchdown, and Walker placed kicked for the extra point. The Green Wave came back fighting hard in the second quarter, and Pizzano recovered a fumble on Mississippi's 25-yard line. Banker carried the ball to Mississippi's 4-yard line and then went over for the first counter. Menville kicked goal. In the fourth quarter Banker and Menville hit the line many times and Banker took the oval over from the one yard line, and the dropkick was blocked. In the same quarter Menville found his way through the line, and got within two yards of his goal. Then Banker hit the line for the remaining distance, but the dropkick was blocked again.

GEORGIA TECH A fumble in Tech's opening game started the ball to rolling against V. M. I. in the third quarter, and ended up with the lone touchdown which beat the Cadets 7 to 0. There had been very little ground gained up until near the end of the third quarter, and Tech had done much fumbling. The team that started off the game was composed of the oldest players, but in the second quarter, a new team was put in with the exception of Capt. Crowley. Two sophomores, Thomason and Mizell, showed fine form in their first varsity performance, and were largely responsible for the touchdown. The way it came about was that V. M. I. punted out of bounds on Tech's ten yard line. Mizell started through left tackle and fumbled, but Spears, a sophomore, recovered the ball and gained ten yards for first down. Then Mizell had better luck, and went around end for 17 yards. This put the ball on Tech's own 40 yard line. Then the backs started a hard drive down the field, and Mizell finally carried the ball over from the two yard line. The Cadet's line outplayed the Yellow Jacket's line, but was on the verge of collapse when the game ended. Barnes of V. M. I. played a brilliant game at half-back, and carried the ball more effectively than any other player on the field with the possible exception of Stumpy Thomason. Thomason, who only played fifteen minutes, showed the fans some real side-stepping and pivoting . Stick McCarley got four, Bob McCarley skirted right end for 12 and first down. Stick got two at the line. A pass failed and Eskew punt- Auburn ball on own 10 yard line. A pass was grounded. Another pass, Crawford to Fisher was good for 13 yards 'and first down. Fisher got CROSS COUNTRYMEN REPORT TO COACH HUTSELL FOR DUTY Numerous Frosh Answer the Initial Call For Freshmen HOPSON PEARCE Hopson Pearce, who is seen above, is one of the hardest fighting men on the Tiger squad. He puts his whole heart into the game, just because he loves to play. He is one of the tackles, and really lives up to his position, as we have seen many times. Hopson is from Aliceville, where he had two years of good football experience . at the Aliceville Hi. He made the Frosh team after coming to the loveliest "Village of the Plains" and scrubbed his Soph. year. He was on the track team 'his second year here, in the capacity of javelin thrower. Last year Pearce made the varsity, and was one of our best players. It took some good men to keep him from breaking through the opponent's line. A good example of this was in the Tulane game last year, when he fought the Grenies from- start to finish. He was the cause of Auburn scoring on them for he fell on the all that an Auburn player had blocked, thus giving us a safety. This was'his best game, but he played some riore good games. Mr. Pearce is not only active on the football field, but takes a big part in other student activities. He is President of the Student Council and also President of the "Y." He is one of the busiest men on the campus, and we all take off our hats to him. Pearce says that he is going to do his part in sending the 'Gators back to Florida in defeat. "'At a boy, Hopson." As. football enters into its prime and draws the attention of the majority of the students and Southern Sports in general; another branch of athletics springs up and endeavors to take shape. Coach Hutsell, demon track coach at Auburn for quite a few years, decided last week that the time for all good prospects to come out and display their wares for his judgment had arrived. Answering the first call, some three score track men appeared at the Gym. Of these about half were Freshmen, all of un-kndwn ability but ready to give their Southern Conference road-race held at Athens, Georgia, last fall, the Tiger harriers were second. The strong University of North Caroline lads taking the first medal. S. Morrow, competed in the S. C. race and is back again to give his best. Besides the old men mentioned above there are quite a few likely candidates out for a place on the team. These men are all under the eye of Hutsell, who is endeavoring to quicken their pace, improve their form and harden their muscles. This list includes: Aldrich, Clayton, Yancy, best to bring up the high standard Teague, Mills, McLendon, Hicks, Wil-upheld by Auburn Track Teams. son and H. Morrow. All are training The cross-country outfit this season is the most in-experienced that Hutsell has had to whip into shape in several years. The three high scorers at the Birmingham Road-race have departed. This leaves the Orange and Blue runers with practically no chance of duplicating last years feat of winning the meet. The three varsity runners that are lost to us are: Collum, Morrow, and Whig-ham, who came in second, fourth, and eighth respectivelyi at the Magic City race. There are three veterans left from that race. Their names and the order in which they finished are: Duncan, thirteenth; Walters, nineteenth; Helms, thirty first. At the three over tackle, and Granger fol lowed with two more. Crawford punted and it was Clemson's ball on the 41 yard line. Clemson ball on own 41 yard line. A pass, Eskew to Bob McCarliey, was incomplete. Another pass was incomplete and a five yard penalty was inflicted for two incomplete passes. Eskew punted and it was Auburn's ball on own 10 yard line. Hair intercepted a pass from Crawford and ran it back to Auburn's 14 yard line. B. McCarley got two at the line and Stick McCarley got two more. Eskew got three at the line. Timmerman came back from left end and kicked a field goal from placement. - Numerous substitutions were made and after several exchanges of punts the half ended. Score: Clemson 3; Auburn 0. (Continued on page 5) every evening with their ambitions equal to a place on Coach Wilbur's squad.- And as the football season goes on, so some of the very best track men on the campus are kept in training. Among the varsity players are listed several of Hutsell's stars. Most prominent among these are: Snitz Snider, dash demon of the South for the past several years, Captain of the 1928 Track team; Tamplin, Alternate- Captain, Nick Carter, Sam Robinson, Mike Fisher, Cosper, Granger, Kirkwood, Pearce and Turner. All of the above were on last years squad and will report as soon as the Thanksgiving game is a thing of the past. Among the other varsity men that will report for Fall training are: Beard, who is being groomed to fill Captain Baskin's shoes; Broughton, sprint man; Creel, pole vaulter; Stoves and Upshaw in the javelin; Virgin, Anderson, Burnet, and "Notre Dame" Heinz in the jumps. This is only a partial list of the men competing for the different places, but a few of the most promising lads are named in the list. As to the "Rats", there is not much to be said. Their ability is as yet doubtful to the extent that they have not been able to display their merits in action. However, there should be plenty of good material considering the large number out. At present, Coach Hutsell is sending them through very light workouts, trying to get them into shape and hardening their muscles. i THE PLAINSMAN , Pag* S It Happens in the Best Regulated Families By BRIGGS THE W E S S T C R S COM6 avma tN TH6 eVENlNQ- FOR A SOCIAL CAU..

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB The most interesting meeting of club, thus far was held Monday night. The meeting was called to order promptly at. seven o'clock. A most interesting program was rendered, under the supervision of Coke Matthews. Randle gave some interesting data on the extent of Lindbergh's mail. He named several humorous incidents connected with Lindbergh's correspondence; proposals of marriage, business offers, jnovie contracts and many absurd propositions received by the here. Following this Bob McKinnon and Charles Moore sang a couple of duets which were greatly enjoyed, as shown by the ap-, plause accorded them. The Club was indeed fortunate in having Dr. Scott present, who gave an. interesting survey of the major social problems of the world today. He maintains that the problems of production has practically been- solved but that the distribution of returns is the greatest question confronting the human race today. Professors Herren and England gave short but helpful talks on the social subjects, which was gratefully received. After a discussion of business the, meeting adjourned. A unique program has' been arranged for next Monday night—everybody be out. suspension bridge across the Hudson River. The suspension span being 3,500 feet will be the longest span of its type in the world when it has been completed! The total cast being $75,000,000.

Lieutenant Barth talked on the American forces in Germany during the jjeriod following the World War if jrfich he had an active part.

His talk concluded one of the most interesting and successful programs ever put on by the S. A. M. E. A. I. E. E. The program of the-last meeting of the Student branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, consisted of two very interesting talks by R. A. Boyd and A. M. Duns-tan. Mr. Boyd gave an account of his sight seeing trip to Niagara Falls, and Mr. Dunstan described the Brooklyn Edison Company's East River Steam plant. He was employed at this station during the summer months, The student branch affords an opportunity by which students can do what they will in their own way. It is a means of bringing out and presenting the originality of the student. It affords students an opportunity for discussion among themselves giving a man* a chance to put forth his ideas to his friends when he is not afraid or sensitive. The acquaintance, the contract between students and the inspiration which gives vision and incentive for new effort are all found in the A. I. E. E. WEBSTERIAN The WebSterian Literary Society met Tuesday night, the crowd was a little short on account of some other activities on the campus, but a very good program was rendered. Howard Tidwell gave us a review of some of the Present Day conditions in Africa. It was very interesting, because it brought to us some of the customs and beliefs of these natives. Mr. LeCroy told us something of the philosophy on education and its use as outlined by Mr. Davis, our secretary of Labor. "True education is not that of gathering facts, but that of drawing out our inner ability, said he, His talk showed the different customs and traditions of the past ages, also the influence that religion and education has had on the lives of our forefathers. It brought to our mind what Congressman Up-shaw said in his talk at convocation recently, "If our education is not built on a foundation of religion, it will not stand." Mr. Hawkins brought to us facts concerning the Immigration question, carrying us back to the time of the thirteen original colonies and the influence that these thirteen English colonies has had on pur lives. His talk was very much enjoyed, and was followed by a talk by our President, Mr. Blankenship. Mr. Blankenship cited incidents to prove that it is much worse for the educated immigrants to come over and willfully break the laws of the American people than it is for the ignorant ones who know no better.

Following their defeat at the hand of Josh Cody's mighty passing team, the Morey lads settled down to the hard grind of overcoming all odds. And Coach Morey sent them through hard practices, scrimmages and workouts. They went to the field early and came in late, their form improved and their pace quickened. As a whole, the entire squad is on its feet in the pink of condition. The quarter-back position that has beent causing the coaches so very much worry has now been reinforced and one of the strongest points on the team. With the veterans, Hodges and Bogue once more in uniform and Luke Ward, friskly Frosh star, who has been on the sick list, back; Morey has a very brainy and varied selection to pick from. Ward has won for himself the distinction of being one of the most efficient broken field runners on the campus. The other weak point has been with the toe artist, but King David has developed a pair of huskies that run under the names of Crawford and Hartselle, that are good for a good deal above the average yardage. Besides this pair, Buck Ellis, will do his share of pigskin booting. Ellis was out of the game last week due to an injured ankle, but is ready' for action."

Moray's resignation as head coach of the Ala* bama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn faced a crisis on the ere of the annual homecoming football classic. Announcement Unexpected At the greatest mass meeting ever seen at Auburn, the beloved Coach announced his attitude to an awe stricken student body. The resignation handed to Dr. Dowell yesterday will take effect tonight, was the announcement as made by Coach Mo-rey, in his brief address. The speaker reviewed his years at Auburn and expressed his love for the institution in no uncertain terms. The student body was quick to place itself solidly behind the Coach, and backed him to a man. This stunning news left the students with little enthusiasm for the mass meeting. Coach Morey came to Auburn in the fall of 1925 as head coach at the helm of the Tiger football team. He came to the Plains after having spent (Continued on Page 6.) FLORIDA GAME HOMECOMING DAY FEATURE Tigers Determined To Turn Back Gators Enrollment For This Year Given Out by Registrar Over Fifteen Hundred Students Enrolled The student enrollment at Auburn for the year 1927-28 again goes over the 1500 mark, as shown by figures from the registrar's office. Dispelling rumors that the student body is greatly lessened this year, the total enrollment of 1536 students as compared to the 1463 students enrolled at mid-semester last year shows 5 percent gain in number of students instead of a loss. As usual, the freshman class enrolled the greatest number, 464. However, the Sophomore class with 425 students is a close contender for enrollment prestige. Next in line are the Juniors, with 314 students on its roll and then come the seniors and fifth year students. Aside from these enrolled in regular classes there are 15 special students and 11 graduate students. So far this year 11 men have been unable to stand the pace and have resigned. In the enrollment by courses the (Continued on page 6) SORORITIES BIRTHDAY OF PHILLIPINE GOVERNOR OBSERVED HERE Auburn Men Are Honored by U.S. War Department Six Auburn Men Are Honor Graduates Pledges Announced By Three Sororities END RUSHING OPENING DANCES SEASON HEREAREAMONGBEST EVER HELD HERE Featuring the many events of Homecoming Day, the 1927 Auburn Tigers will clash with the strong University of Florida outfit on Drake Field. This will mark the continuation of football relations between Auburn and Florida teams, with all of the previous tilts being won by the Plainsmen. But, the Gators boast of a strong and mighty crew; sun browned and ready to go. Opposing their best wishes will be a rejuvenated Tiger Eleven. Morey is also determined to come across on the winning side and- will spare nothing to gain his end. Twice the Orange and Blue lads have gone into the fray, only to be victims of chance, and were turned away with the short end of the score card. The third time is due to be the climax. A climax much looked forward to, for Auburn has not lost but one Homecoming game on records. This Saturday , the entire squad will be physically fit and in the best of spirits. All of the injured have returned to their regular berths ready to give their best. As to the visitors, not a little is to be said. They not only boast of a strong Eleven, but actually have one. In their first two games surprising results appeared. First they triump-ed over the mighty aggregation from Southern College, 26-7. Crabtree, light-footed quarter-back succeeded in getting lose for 67 yards' in this fray. The second game proved an upsett to all obtainable dope. Davidson, S. I. A. A. representative, came out on top with a 12-0 score. Yet the main stays of the Florida team were out on the .injured list, Crabtree and Middle-kauf being among those out. And, there's the foreign dope. They're here, they can see, but they'll never (Continued on Page 6.) Monday closed a very successful pledging season for the sororities on the campus. The four sororities announce a total of nineteen pledges. This followed the close of the annual rush season. The Kappa Delta Sorority announce the following pledges: Misses Irene Brown, San Marcos, Texas; Mildred Dimmitt, Auburn; Flora Hickman, Birmingham; Mamye Miller, Nana-falga; Grace Moon, Hamilton; Mildred Moore and Miriam Moore of Opelika. ^ Pledged to Chi Omega Sorority are: Misses Patricia Askew, DeFun-iak Springs, Florida; Lois Bostic, Hamilton; Evelyn Henry, Montgomery; Bernice McMillian, Stockton; Ruth Murray, Mobile; and Odelle Stewart of Weoguska, Alabama. The latest national sorority on the campus, Phi Alpha Chi, announce as their pledges: Misses Emma Jo Atkins, Auburn; Ruth Frisbie, Auburn; Margaret Lowrenz, Elberta; Edna Earl Pennington, Auburn; Lois Wells, Gantt; and Myrtie Wilson of Roanoke, Alabama. The Sigma Rho Sorority is going national this fall and will not announce any pledges as a local.

(Continued on Page 6.) • Miss Dobbs Praises Conduct of Boys "With the exception of too much dating after 12o'clock Saturday night, the opening dances were the quietest and best behaved dances to date," according to Miss Zoe Dobbs, director of social activities at Auburn. She further stated that they were the most sober dances on record during the sixteen jubilees. "Of course", Miss Dobbs continued, "I don't want the boys to think that there was absolutely no drinking for there was, but there was much less of it". Tnere was an excellent personnel and everyone seemed to have more wholesome fun. The campus was much quieter this time, and other than the exception of late Saturday", Miss Dobbs concluded, "I have no criticism to make." Correction Through error the following names of distinguished students were omitted from the list printed in the last issue of the Plainsman: Junior Class Highest Distinction Allan Parks Francis, Mech.

Walker Talks At Convocation Senator J. A. Walker, of Opelika, held the entire hall in profound interest for thirty minutes with his relation of Legislative measures in regard to increased state funds for Auburn. Senator Walker, having receiver a Bachelor's degree from Auburn in 1908 and Master's in 1909 has his heart in the advancement of Auburn, and effectively set forth his plans along this line in his brilliant speech. Last weeks convocation period was featured by Dr. Tidwell's speech along the same line. This move is of exceeding interest to the student body and was manifested by attentive listening. A Correction Last week's Plainsman contained an elaborate description of Dr. Thomas' new home, but mentioned the fact that it was given him by the college. This is a mistake. The college had nothing to do with the building of the house. It was built entirely by the personal funds of Dr. Thomas.

BROWN, Chairman Athletic Council. In a War Department Bulletin just received at Fourth Corps Area Headquarters, thirty-five young men from the Distinguished Colleges and Honor Military Schools of the Corps Area were named as Honor Graduates. Young men so designated for excelling in military training and scholastic standing were as follows: Frbm Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala., John E. Barnes, Clyde Hendrix,, Forney H. Ingram, Harris S. Lynne, Win. H. Putnam, and John^M. Wilder. ' Among other colleges and schools having honor graduates were Georgia Tech with seven,-Clemson, Louisana State four, Florida three, Georgia Military Academy three, Riverside three-and Davidson College two. For the entire United State but one hundred and fifty-five honor graduates were designated. Based only on population, the proportion for the Fourth Corps Area would have been but seventeen. With the largest number of ROTC --- -*J I'-I J i.U MAJOR KENNEDY ORDERS REVIEW HELD SATURDAY Wood Was Commander Of Rough Riders MANY HONORS GIVEN WOOD DURING CAREER therein, of any corps area in the United States, the eight states of the southeast comprising the Fourth Corps Area have again distinguished themselves by having had designated more than twice their proportian-al share of ROTC Graduates. Designation as an honor graduate of a Distinguished College or an Honor Military School carries with it the privilege of commission in the Regular Army or appointment to the United States Military Academy without mental examination, if vacancies permit. Athletes to Hold Dance Saturday In Alumni Gym. An attractive feature of this year's -Homecoming Day will be the "A" Club dance to be given Saturday night at the Alumnae Gymnasium. Elaborate plans have been made by the. committee in charge and an enjoyable time is promised all of those who attend. The Florida game is drawing many visitors to Auburn, a large percentage of whom are expected to attend the dance, which starts at nine o'clock and ends at twelve sharp. Music for the affair will be furnished by the school Orchestra, composed of eight students who are said to furnish as good music as can be found anywhere. The Orchestra is composed of the following: Charline Baughman, Max Jones, Jimmy Ware, Levin Foster,. S. A. Hardin, Jimmy Cone, J. B. Jones and J. Brown. From all indications it promises to be the best dance that the "A" Club has given in many a day. Don't miss it. KEYS SELECT MEN FROM CLASS OF '31 The Keys, a Local Interfraternity, select as future wearers of the "Skull and Crosskeys" the following men as pledges: Columbus, Ga.; James. Christopher, Phi Delta Theta, Eugene Deaton, Gadsden. Alpha Tau Omega, Guice Potter, Anniston; Augustus Wingo, Birmingham. (Continued on Page 6.) First Review of the Year Memorial is On Saturday morning, at 11:00 A. M. the Auburn R. O. T. C. regiment will hold a reiew a* a memorial to Governor General Leonard Wood, whose birthday occur* on October 9th. The following order has been published at R. O. T. C. Headquarters:- 1. Leonard Wood, Major General U. S. Army, has finished his service to America, and to the world. • 2. He was one of America's great men; a great friend; a great soldier; a great statesman; and one* of the greatest colonial administrators the world has ever produced.

Enters Army Early General Wood was born at Winchester, N. H., Oct. 9, 1860, and first entered his career of service in 1886, when he was appointed assistant Surgeon, U. S. A. He immediately saw active service in the Indian Campaigns and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor "for distinguished conduct in Indian Campaigns, as a Medical and line officer in 1886." On May 8, 1898 he was promoted to Colonel and placed in command of 1st U. S. Volunteer Cavalry, more familiarly known as the famous "Rough Riders" the regiment organized by Theodore Roosevelt. As a result of his services at Las Guasimas and San Juan Hill he was promoted to Brigadier General July 8, 1898 and on August 8, 1903 he became a Major General, U. S. A. He retired from the Army in 1921 at his own request, after 30 years service, to. accept the appointment as Governor General of the Phillipine Islands, which office he held until the date of his death, August 7, 1927. Serves With Distinction Although educated for the medical profession and appointed to the Army as a medical Officer, he early demonstrated his capacity for the military profession, and served with distinction as a line Officer throughout his career. In addition to holding the position of Chief of Staff of the Army, and other high Army commands, he served as military gover- (Continued on Page 6.)

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT: Today is Homecoming Day in Auburn. The Rats are beginning to receive notices from the Vigilance Committee. Will this mean a cessation of bigheaded Rats? Let us hope this work is carefully and effectively directed. Measures are in order by which Co-eds may not attend clubs and meetings at night without a male escort. This matter was brought before a lively campus club of more than a hundred attendants this week. A figure eight has replaced the seven on the main tank. Even though our football team has met defeat in the first two games, this does not mean that all coming games of this season are destined to go- likewise. Keep alive that interest that means so much to the team that seems to be cast out by the Mike Donahue's team will test Alabama's mettle at Rickwood today. And even though he is slated to lose, no doubt the game will prove interesting. Babe Ruth has broken his old home run record, and might now be termed, "Swat King II." Bill Young is assisting us in receiving fresh and interesting reports of the World Series baseball games. Pat Mpulton, athletic star here last year, is in town this. week. Occasionally a Rat steals off to his room in solitude and there meekly hums, "Be it ever so humble there's no place like home." three highway engineers that compose the above group. These men have a publication' that ranks high among the journals of the engineering colleges throughout the United States. This year will see the rise of The Auburn Engineer to even greater achievements. The staff has met great difficulty in getting support from the engineering students. • This is deplorable because the publication is one of merit. To date there are only two hundred three subscribers and before the publication can ba recognized by the national engineering magazines assiciated the subscriptions must total seventy five per cent of the total number of students in the engineering school. It is therefore necessary for Auburn engineers to lend their support tb the publication. Five hundred twenty more engineers must subscribe before the Auburn Enginer can come to the front. As yet is is very young, being in its third year. Support your publication and help its standing and incidentally the representation of Auburn. We want our engineering school and its influence to enter the literary field and keep pace with the work of the graduates who hold positions in the front rank of scientific endeavor and engineering achievements. SUBSCRIBE NOW LET US LIVE TODAY The man who cannot think, cannot concentrate is not educated regardless of the number of college degrees he may have. In 713 B. C. was written this prophecy of the modern motor car: "The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways; they shall seem like torches, they shall run'like the lightening^" One of the time honored traditions at Auburn is that of giving a cordial greeting to those one meets on the streets or campus. Lest some should be neglectful let us remind you to have a cheery "hello" for everybody. It calls for little effort on your part and goes a long way toward making life worth while. Many students conceive the idea that they will not enter into student affairs. These students are constantly ready and willing to criticise. They are are in the habit of making no mistakes because they do nothing. Those of a retiring nature should enter into discussions of vital interest to them for by so doing they are developing themselves and helping the student body. If radical measures are under discussion those who oppose such should openly express themselves. Above all it is not always best to be with the crowd. It is well to remember that there are three~ sides to every question. It is best to first investigate, weigh, then act. Pope has truly said "Be not the first by whom the new are tried nor yet the last to lay the last to lay the old aside." THROW OUT THE LIFE LINE According to a statement made public by the Dean of the School of Engineering we note that there- are a total of six hundred eight eight students enrolled who come under his jurisdiction. There are three hundred twenty eight electricals, one hundred forty five civils, sixty seven chemicals, twenty nine architectural and WELCOME ALUMNI Both the college faculty and the student body of Auburn heartily welcome the alumni who are visiting the institution this week-end. It is hoped that the work the institution is now doing and has been doing in the past is a credit to^them as alumni. Auburn is proud of its alumni arid greatly indebted to them for the benefits' it has derived from their efforts. The numerous accomplishments they have attained after passing beyond its red brick walls have served to uphold the standards of the'in-stitution.' No doubt it will be found that in some cases some will find that a, few changes have taken place in Auburn, while others will find a number of decided improvements. These have been brought about by progress, based on the work done in the past by Auburn men as well as by outsiders. It will also be found that there still remains the old Auburn spirit which has ever been handed down to Auburn men. This spirit still exists in its truest form-one of friendship arid good sportsmanship. May Auburn continue to advance and gain each year over the past so that in the years to come, we who are now students, may look back and discern how Auburn has progressed materially as well as spiritually, approaching a perfect day. SPEAKING GOOD ENGLISH For a number of years it has been a custom for the majority of college students to use slang to some extent in their every day associations and on the campus. In some cases it is almost natural. However such a habit has, from experience, developed into a slothfulness in the use of the English language. This is especiaaly noticeable on the Auburn campus. Several days ago a number of students were crowed in the student supply shop, among whom were several co-eds. Ensuing from a conversation, among these ladies, on clothing one of them was heard to say in a tone, above all the others, "They ain't got no such dress." An out-of-town visitor happened to Be standing near and heard the expression. He was immediately struck and indignantly remarked to ,orie near-by, "Is that the kind of English that is taught to the college students at Auburn?" vNo doubt the one guilty of the expression knows better, but through carelessness failed to observe how it may sound or realizes just to what an undesirable .habit it will lead. This is merely one of the many instances which occur each day among the various groups of students as they gather or meet on the campus and on the streets. Probably some of the expressions are heard only locally but think of the terrible habit that is being acquired! If everyone will watch his use of his grammar more closely each day and try to go beyond the primitive stage of slang and incorrect phrasing he will find to how great an extent it will aid him individually as well as- prevent outsiders from forming the wrong impression of Auburn and its teachings. HAS FIFTY-FIVE YEARS OF AUBURN SPIRIT COME TO THIS? The Plainsman's attention has • been drawn to the following article printed in a Covington County newspaper. This letter, sent by a college boy to his Father, was used as an argument against further state appropriations to the various colleges in Alabama. Purely by. accident we happen to know that this letter was written by an AUBURN RAT. Such are the facts in the case. Needless to say the Rats name will not be given out, as we still have some elements of mercy left in us, even in the face of such a damning epistle as this. We would like to ask the student body if they consider this the way that an Auburn man should express himself. Apart from the fact that this greatly exaggerated and grossly untrue outline of affairs at Auburn was used in a serious attempt to persuade the voters of Alabama not to give any money to the state colleges, when they need it so badly, we are especially humi-ated to think that we have men of this calibre registered in Auburn. It seems a great pity to us that such men as these should even be allowed on the football field, let alone forced to yell themselves hoarse in support of the team. But read the letter for yourselves, and draw your own conclusions. Some Things That The Tax Payer's Money Is Going For The following extracts are from a letter written by a Covington County boy who is. trying to get an education. He is now in college. We will leave the name of the college blank, also withhold the boy's name. But the original letter is before us. It was written by the boy to his father and was not intended for publication so we will merely quote portions of it which wil} show what one goes up against when he goes to college. And while we are reading this, we might remember that millions of dollars of tax money squeezed out of the people of the state are being used to keep such things going on in the name of education. And we are going to be called on to vote a 20-million dollars bond issue, soon. We are wondering if a large portion of it is going to be used to keep up such things as this boy says exists in one of our public institutions. --. - The extracts aTe as follows: "The next time anybody tells me that is the place to go if you want to be a gentleman I think it would take all I could do to keep from hitting him.

He had a good time according to his book. He watched a sun rise over the- Alps from the summit of the Matterhorn; he watched a moon sail across the sky from the summit of Gil-bralter; he swam a starlight Nile, and loved a pale Kashmuri maiden beside the Shalimar. Then he came home,, but on" a day in an idle hour he picked up his Tennyson and turned to Ulysses. That was the starter for The Glorious Adventure recently published. With the Odyssey for a guide-book, off he set on the trail of Ulysses. What is more, he followed it! This isn't the kind of book I like to read through at a sitting. It's a bed book, if you know what I mean,—one' that helps you drift off easily after a dozen pages of Ithacan sunsets and blue grottos, of mountain shepherd boys and Sun gods, starlit Parthenons and moonlit colonnades all from the '"storied shores of Greece." THEN AND NOW Reminiscences from the Orange and Blue, issue of Saturday, Oct. 5,~ 1912 Appearing on the front page of this issue is a poem, entitled "My Girl," which sets forth in radiant manner the gesticulations of some poor victim of the now common affliction—love. One particular line carries on thus: "I love her—anybody would." Nowadays we note that poems of this nature aren't usually sent through the columns of a paper; instead they are tenderly delivered in person, the dainty ear of the object being the mailbox. Suffer us to reconstruct the line quoted above, however, so that it may fit modern occasions: "I love her—everbody does!" * * * * * _ The previous" issue carries a rather elaborate poem on the editorial page, entitled "Little Lady." WHAT IS THY NAME Did you bring a name with you when you came to college? If so what do you intend to make of it? These are questions that concern the individual. In reply one might ask, what is a name? To the author of a book it means sales, to the actor it means popularity, to the manufacturer success. Those who have gone before have spent their lives to make names that have' become bywords. Is not the reward ample compensation for our effdrts? A good name brings honor to ourselves, glory to our God, gratification to those who love us and an inspiration to our fellow men. Is it then not worth something? Then why not strive to make, it worthwhile? _ A conductor is paid to tell people where to get off. -mere were eleven ivem soda-water bottles full of booze drank in the house where I am boarding. I didn't see it going on, but the bottles were in the bath room next morning, when I went to bathe. I haven't seen any more here since then, but I have been told that there is much drinking at the dances here. Then there is another thing that goes on here that is much worse. A girl who Has any decency about her would never come here to school if she knew how things are here. I have found that it isnot a place for me, either. Whatever an upper classman wants a freshman to do, he must do it regardles-j of what it is, or get one of the hardest beatings he ever got in his life. They make the freshman go to the football games, or anything else they take a notion to send them to. They make the freshman go -to fihe "pep meetings" and holler themselves hoarse and use such language I would not have mother or sister listen at for anything in the world; still they claim it is all right. The preachers (?) here support it too by being present at every one of them. Girls and boys all go to this hyprocritical, half-crazed, ignorant mass of mush. It would not bother me so much if they would let me alone and praise the Devil for themselves. They will tell you that you don't have tp 'take part in these affairs; but at the same time they cast a threat on you with a board if you don't. My roommate, who came here from •—said it was not any worse, if not better, there than it is here. He said there was no distinction between a freshman nor any other person there. If this place is the best, or one of the best places for me to get an education,- I don't want it. I would rather be a gentleman. I think I could work out my own education from books, and have one that would do me as much good as any I would get here. I know it would not. cost as much, (about $400 a year cheaper, to be exact). If I have to come back here after Christmas, I am through, ABSOLUTELY THROUGH. There have already been several to leave here, by order of their parents and return home. Several more have said they hoped they would not be sent back after Christmas. "Now, Papa, I know you will think I am mad while I am writing this. But I feel the best I have since I have been here. I haven't been mad since yesterday evening when they made me holler myself hoarse at the football game. But I haven't failed to say just what I thought. I didn't say all I think, though; that would take too much space. I know when my character is being imposed upon. You never have thought as much of the as I think So the woman theory is by no means new. * * * * * Honor System at Auburn a live issue. Two complete columns of the front page devoted to this subject.

If you know your legendary Greek, you are looking ahead with familiar partizan-ship; if you don't Haliburton manages to weave in the old story, so you'll know what it's all about, and wont miss the point of his duplications. There is adventure in the book for the thrill lovers—perilous mountain climbs, endurance testing swims, (you've guessed it! He swam the Hellespont!) and so .on. There is humor, too, of a delightful, masculine sort. Once he offered up sour cheese and mastika as a sacrifice to Jupiter. Romance isn't left out either; that is, the girl kind, for there are Rosa, and Jimmy and Mignon. The Glorious Adventure, perhaps, is just another travel book. There have been several good ones before, you know: A Sen-timenal Journey, The Voyage to Libson, Lemuel Gulliver's, Robinson Crusoe's, and many, many others.

This question seems to hold uppermost sway in the minds of Howard students. At least they should give it serious consideration. The Tar Heel, newspaper of the University of North Carolina is published three times a week. * The Plainsman has received a number of creditable papers from high schools. We wish to compliment them. • President James Rowland Angell, of Yale, defended his tribe of prexies when the New York Times declared editorially that college heads are not selected from the company of scholars. We believe that the head of a college should be a business man whose primary purpose it is to get money for the college. If students want personal contact then have a dean of men to call everybody by their first name. The •day when the president is required to be a scholar is fast disappearing. According to the New Student the freshman enrollment at the University of Michigan is 200 less than last year. It is thought that the ban on automobiles has been responsible for the decrease. Twenty one college and university presidents, not one promoted from the faculty or chosen from the state, were elected in 1927, says the Journal of Education. None of the new presidents were subject specialists, or engaged in political or business careers. While the Journal suggests that this range of selection is indicative of an underlying movement, it does not offer an explanation.

In proof of this statement we have only to recite the story of the co-ed who in arranging her schedule in Home Economics was not sure of what she had to take. The tale goes that a certain well-known co-ed went into Dean Judd's, office to put the finishing touches on her "schedule. After she had given the little white slips to the Dean for his approval, she suddenly exclaimed, "I've forgotten something. Oh! it's my Clothing." Now if the Dean had not been a man who had learned to think swiftly and act even more so, he might have been in a pickle. From the best information obtainable, it has been learned that Geo.

The guests were served punch as they entered the campus. When all arrived, games began by the first being a "Tie To-gether" game. 'Each man struggled to unwind his string from the trees or posts to find his allotted partner at the other end. This game was followed by many other active and interesting one, after which all enjoyed the victrola music. In the eight states comprising the Fourth Corps Area 798 R. O. T.

Georgia Tech fourth, though in actual numbers commissioned Georgia Tech stood first, Clemson College second and Alabama Polytechnic third with all of them close. In the entire United States and Hawaii 98 per cent of those offered commissions, accepted them, whereas in this Corps Area, according to the records at Headquarters, not a single R. 0. T.

S: Suggs, assistant professor of the Veterinary department, to the Ag. club at the regular Wednesday night program. Dr. Suggs was introduced to the club by Pres. Williams in connection with the speaker for the next meeting which will be Dr. McAdory, also of the Veterinary department. There are three classes of diseases that were mentioned by Dr. Suggs, which are nutritional, parasitic, and infections. These are all prevalent over the country at all times. Nutritional and parasitic diseases are very numerous while there are only twenty-five or thirty infectious dis-seases known. When it comes to the nutritional diseases something has to be done to furnish better balanced and better prepared rations," Dr. Suggs, declared. He also" said, "the chief way of handling parasitic diseases is by a general rotation of feeding places of the flock or herd." "Infectious diseases must be handled in a very sepcif ic way or the damage is done immediately," declared, t h e speaker. Further statement brought out the fact that, the sick animal should be removed and diagnosed, the source of trouble should be found, the other animals vaccinated —provided the disease is controlled by vaccination—, and a' general cleanup and disinfection given all the housing places of the animals. The sunlight is one of the best disinfectants. H. G. McCall said the farmer must wake up and produce more per man hour.

THE PLAINSMAN Tigers Battle With Florida 'Gators on Campus Today X SPORTS Auburn Rats Tie Howard Pups in 0-0 Game Here Tiger Yearlings Drive Into Scoring Distance Twice, Fumbles Costly The Auburn freshmen and the freshmen of Howard College battled through four stubborn quarters with neither team able to push over a touchdown and the game ended in a 0 to 0.status here Saturday. While the Bullpups put up a good brand of football, it was generally conceded that the baby plainsmen held a silght edge, inasmuch as most of the playing was done Th Howard territory and the charges of Coach Brown threatened seriously on two occasions to score while the Birmingham lads, never handed a scare to the Auburnites. Near the end of the first half a pass, Bell to Culpepper, for Auburn, put the ball in Auburn's possession on Howard's 15 yard line. Bell and Wingo alternating the ball forced the Lollar lads to their own four yard line when a fumble on the second down lost possession of the ball for Auburn. A fumble again by the local lads in the third quarter on Howard's 12 yard line lost another opportunity that looked like an opportune time to carry over the winning counter. But with these two exceptions the ball was kept near midfield, except when booted out by the two elevens. Punting of a high character was frequent by both teams. For Auburn on the line Big Boy Newton, substituting for Jacob at tackle played a fine game, as did Jacob before his retirement. Har-kins at center, Baby Taylor at tackle and Dreaden also at tackle, were outstanding. Hill, local lad, Lee County Hi., handled his job in the line well In the back division Quarterback Chambless stood foremost in the lime light. He displayed fine generalship for a freshman, was effective in advancing the ball, and handled his played a good defensive game as did Herron. The big outstanding feature from the Auburn viewpoint was the freshman line. The entire lineup made an excellent oppearance in its debut into Auburn football. For Howard, Raymond Davis, a big 190-pound center from Anniston, was easily the star. Davis is big, shifty, and time and again stood out on both offensive and defensive play. Capt. Hargrove at tackle, Memphis lad, played a stellar game of football. "Fatty" Simpson, .Birmingham lad, was a good guard. In the back department Tompkins at half, Jones who substituted for Bullard of Birmingham, and Morris, another Birmingham boy, were the outstanding. "NICK" CARTER Take a look and see if we have not seen this gentleman before. Sure we have, for it is old "Nick" Carter, who is always on the jow when the Tigers are in action. Carter is just a natural football player as anyone knows who has seen him. He is over six feet tall, and is well proportioned. He is a player that really hits a man hard when he tackles, for he has that fighting Tiger spirit that stays with him from! the time the game starts until the last whistle is blown. Carter's home is in Blountsville, where he played four years of football in high school. When he came to Auburn, he played on the Freshman team, where he was one of the main stays on the line. Last year "Nick" made the varsity, and was one of our best linemen, even though it was his first year. He had a wonderful year, and received several bids for all-Southern, which is one of the greatest honors that a football player can receive. Even though we have only played two games this season, we have seen that Carter is even better this year than he was last, if such a thing is possible. He has not forgotten the knack of breaking through the eneiriie'sniHe~snu tnrowmg^mem J.UI losses. "We're all behind you, Carter." The lineup: Auburn—Griffin and Culpepper, ends; Jacob and Taylor, tackles; Herron and Dreaden, guards; Har-kins, center; Chambless, quarter; Bell and Wingo, halves; Summerville, fullback. Howard—Garrett and McGarends, ends, Captain Hargrove and Dew, tackles; Simmons and Simpson, guards; Davis, center; Akin, quarter; Tompkins and "Bullard, halves; Morris, fullback. Officials—Johnson, Georgia Tech, Referee; Bonner, L. S. U., umpire; Baskin, Auburn, headlinesman. In The Enemy Camps L. S. U. L. S. U. easily overcame Southwestern Louisiana institute in Baton Rouge last Saturday by a score of 52 to 0. This is the last non-conference game that she will play before encountering the University of Alabama this week. The Tigers missed the services of Captain Godfrey, who was out on account of a slight injury. He is one of the main stays on the team, and it is hoped that he will be ready to go in the game next week. Southwestern had a one-man team in Klorr, who was a triple threat man. He was in almost every play, and was good on offense and defense. L. S. U. did not have much luck at passes, but hit the line time after time for long gains. The men that gained most for Donahue's team were Mason, Brown, Stovall, and Renfro. The Cavaliers fought until the end of the game, but were outclassed all the way through. The closest that Virginia got to Georgia's goal was at the close of the game, when she reached the Bulldogs 25 yard line. During the whole" game, the Bulldogs had the fight and drive needed to win a game. GEORGIA The University of Georgia beat Virginia 32 to 0 in an impressive game in Athens. The Bulldogs were led by McCrary, who played fullback and was alone responsible for making a touchdown every quarter. There had been some talk of the teams being pretty evenly matched, and some were afraid that the Bulldogs would be whipped. This uneasiness was quickly forgotten when the action started. Georgia's defense was great, for time and again they held the fast Virginia backs without any gain. HOWARD Howard and Loyola staged a hectic battle in Birmingham last week, which ended in a 0 to 0 tie. It was one of the most hard fought games on record, and it showed Howard as having a real football team. "Bucky" Moore, star quarterback for Loyola, made many substantial gains, but was knocked out in the second period by Brown, Howard tackle, after a 20 yard run. His headgear was all that kept him from being killed, and he was unconscious for several hours, suffering/ from a head injury. Billy Bancroft led the attack for the Bulldogs, and played a good brand of football. There were three reasons that Loyola was able to keep their goal line uncrossed. The breaks went to them, and they outpunted and out-passed Howard. Howard, however, had a line that could not be passed over. There was some wonderful playing done by each team. Each had sworn that the other could not pass. CLEMSON UPSETS DOPE TO TURN BACK AUBURN TIGERS Field Goal Decides Tiger-Tiger Battle; Timmer-man's Boot in Second Quarter Lone Score For the first time in 21 years the Tigers of the Hills defeated the Tigers where the ball was downed by Hodges. Clemson's ball on her own 1 yard >f the Plains at Clemson last Safcur-! line. Eskew punted to 33 yard line. day. The victory was won by th* margin of one field goal, kicked from placement by Timmerman, Clemson end, in the second quarter. First Quarter Clemson defends west goal and receives. Ingram for Auburn kicked iff to Bob McCarley who received it on the Clemson 20 yard line. R McCarley hit the line for three yardh. B. McCarley made three over right tackle. Clemson was offside on the kick and was penalized 15 yards fo"r holding. Eskew then punted and Auburn received the ball on Clemson;; 35 yard line. Auburn's ball on Clemson's 35 yard line. Crawford lost a yard. A pass was incomplete, and "Auburn was penalized five yards for excessive time out. Another pass was incomplete and a five yard penalty imposed for two incomplete passes. Crawford pointed to Clemson's 1 yard line There were not many long gains made during the game, and every time one team would get close to the goal, something would happen to start the ball back. This game will be long remembered in Birmingham, as one time when the dope was upset, and Howard held the fast Loyola team to a tie. TULANE The Tulane Greenies came from behind to win from 'Ole Miss in a game in New Orleans last week. The final score was 19 to 7.

GEORGIA TECH A fumble in Tech's opening game started the ball to rolling against V. M. I. in the third quarter, and ended up with the lone touchdown which beat the Cadets 7 to 0. There had been very little ground gained up until near the end of the third quarter, and Tech had done much fumbling. The team that started off the game was composed of the oldest players, but in the second quarter, a new team was put in with the exception of Capt. Crowley. Two sophomores, Thomason and Mizell, showed fine form in their first varsity performance, and were largely responsible for the touchdown. The way it came about was that V. M. I. punted out of bounds on Tech's ten yard line. Mizell started through left tackle and fumbled, but Spears, a sophomore, recovered the ball and gained ten yards for first down. Then Mizell had better luck, and went around end for 17 yards. This put the ball on Tech's own 40 yard line. Then the backs started a hard drive down the field, and Mizell finally carried the ball over from the two yard line. The Cadet's line outplayed the Yellow Jacket's line, but was on the verge of collapse when the game ended. Barnes of V. M. I. played a brilliant game at half-back, and carried the ball more effectively than any other player on the field with the possible exception of Stumpy Thomason. Thomason, who only played fifteen minutes, showed the fans some real side-stepping and pivoting . Stick McCarley got four, Bob McCarley skirted right end for 12 and first down.

He puts his whole heart into the game, just because he loves to play. He is one of the tackles, and really lives up to his position, as we have seen many times. Hopson is from Aliceville, where he had two years of good football experience . at the Aliceville Hi. He made the Frosh team after coming to the loveliest "Village of the Plains" and scrubbed his Soph. year. He was on the track team 'his second year here, in the capacity of javelin thrower. Last year Pearce made the varsity, and was one of our best players. It took some good men to keep him from breaking through the opponent's line. A good example of this was in the Tulane game last year, when he fought the Grenies from- start to finish. He was the cause of Auburn scoring on them for he fell on the all that an Auburn player had blocked, thus giving us a safety. This was'his best game, but he played some riore good games. Mr. Pearce is not only active on the football field, but takes a big part in other student activities. He is President of the Student Council and also President of the "Y." He is one of the busiest men on the campus, and we all take off our hats to him. Pearce says that he is going to do his part in sending the 'Gators back to Florida in defeat. "'At a boy, Hopson." As. football enters into its prime and draws the attention of the majority of the students and Southern Sports in general; another branch of athletics springs up and endeavors to take shape. Coach Hutsell, demon track coach at Auburn for quite a few years, decided last week that the time for all good prospects to come out and display their wares for his judgment had arrived. Answering the first call, some three score track men appeared at the Gym. Of these about half were Freshmen, all of un-kndwn ability but ready to give their Southern Conference road-race held at Athens, Georgia, last fall, the Tiger harriers were second. The strong University of North Caroline lads taking the first medal. S. Morrow, competed in the S. C. race and is back again to give his best. Besides the old men mentioned above there are quite a few likely candidates out for a place on the team. These men are all under the eye of Hutsell, who is endeavoring to quicken their pace, improve their form and harden their muscles. This list includes: Aldrich, Clayton, Yancy, best to bring up the high standard Teague, Mills, McLendon, Hicks, Wil-upheld by Auburn Track Teams. son and H. Morrow. All are training The cross-country outfit this season is the most in-experienced that Hutsell has had to whip into shape in several years. The three high scorers at the Birmingham Road-race have departed. This leaves the Orange and Blue runers with practically no chance of duplicating last years feat of winning the meet. The three varsity runners that are lost to us are: Collum, Morrow, and Whig-ham, who came in second, fourth, and eighth respectivelyi at the Magic City race. There are three veterans left from that race. Their names and the order in which they finished are: Duncan, thirteenth; Walters, nineteenth; Helms, thirty first. At the three over tackle, and Granger fol lowed with two more. Crawford punted and it was Clemson's ball on the 41 yard line. Clemson ball on own 41 yard line. A pass, Eskew to Bob McCarliey, was incomplete. Another pass was incomplete and a five yard penalty was inflicted for two incomplete passes. Eskew punted and it was Auburn's ball on own 10 yard line. Hair intercepted a pass from Crawford and ran it back to Auburn's 14 yard line. B. McCarley got two at the line and Stick McCarley got two more. Eskew got three at the line. Timmerman came back from left end and kicked a field goal from placement. - Numerous substitutions were made and after several exchanges of punts the half ended. Score: Clemson 3; Auburn 0. (Continued on page 5) every evening with their ambitions equal to a place on Coach Wilbur's squad.- And as the football season goes on, so some of the very best track men on the campus are kept in training. Among the varsity players are listed several of Hutsell's stars. Most prominent among these are: Snitz Snider, dash demon of the South for the past several years, Captain of the 1928 Track team; Tamplin, Alternate- Captain, Nick Carter, Sam Robinson, Mike Fisher, Cosper, Granger, Kirkwood, Pearce and Turner. All of the above were on last years squad and will report as soon as the Thanksgiving game is a thing of the past. Among the other varsity men that will report for Fall training are: Beard, who is being groomed to fill Captain Baskin's shoes; Broughton, sprint man; Creel, pole vaulter; Stoves and Upshaw in the javelin; Virgin, Anderson, Burnet, and "Notre Dame" Heinz in the jumps. This is only a partial list of the men competing for the different places, but a few of the most promising lads are named in the list. As to the "Rats", there is not much to be said. Their ability is as yet doubtful to the extent that they have not been able to display their merits in action. However, there should be plenty of good material considering the large number out. At present, Coach Hutsell is sending them through very light workouts, trying to get them into shape and hardening their muscles. i THE PLAINSMAN , Pag* S It Happens in the Best Regulated Families By BRIGGS THE W E S S T C R S COM6 avma tN TH6 eVENlNQ- FOR A SOCIAL CAU..

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB The most interesting meeting of club, thus far was held Monday night. The meeting was called to order promptly at. seven o'clock. A most interesting program was rendered, under the supervision of Coke Matthews. Randle gave some interesting data on the extent of Lindbergh's mail. He named several humorous incidents connected with Lindbergh's correspondence; proposals of marriage, business offers, jnovie contracts and many absurd propositions received by the here. Following this Bob McKinnon and Charles Moore sang a couple of duets which were greatly enjoyed, as shown by the ap-, plause accorded them. The Club was indeed fortunate in having Dr. Scott present, who gave an. interesting survey of the major social problems of the world today. He maintains that the problems of production has practically been- solved but that the distribution of returns is the greatest question confronting the human race today. Professors Herren and England gave short but helpful talks on the social subjects, which was gratefully received. After a discussion of business the, meeting adjourned.

His talk concluded one of the most interesting and successful programs ever put on by the S. A. M. E. A. I. E. E. The program of the-last meeting of the Student branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, consisted of two very interesting talks by R. A. Boyd and A. M. Duns-tan. Mr. Boyd gave an account of his sight seeing trip to Niagara Falls, and Mr. Dunstan described the Brooklyn Edison Company's East River Steam plant. He was employed at this station during the summer months, The student branch affords an opportunity by which students can do what they will in their own way. It is a means of bringing out and presenting the originality of the student. It affords students an opportunity for discussion among themselves giving a man* a chance to put forth his ideas to his friends when he is not afraid or sensitive. The acquaintance, the contract between students and the inspiration which gives vision and incentive for new effort are all found in the A. I. E. E. WEBSTERIAN The WebSterian Literary Society met Tuesday night, the crowd was a little short on account of some other activities on the campus, but a very good program was rendered. Howard Tidwell gave us a review of some of the Present Day conditions in Africa. It was very interesting, because it brought to us some of the customs and beliefs of these natives. Mr. LeCroy told us something of the philosophy on education and its use as outlined by Mr. Davis, our secretary of Labor. "True education is not that of gathering facts, but that of drawing out our inner ability, said he, His talk showed the different customs and traditions of the past ages, also the influence that religion and education has had on the lives of our forefathers. It brought to our mind what Congressman Up-shaw said in his talk at convocation recently, "If our education is not built on a foundation of religion, it will not stand." Mr. Hawkins brought to us facts concerning the Immigration question, carrying us back to the time of the thirteen original colonies and the influence that these thirteen English colonies has had on pur lives. His talk was very much enjoyed, and was followed by a talk by our President, Mr. Blankenship. Mr. Blankenship cited incidents to prove that it is much worse for the educated immigrants to come over and willfully break the laws of the American people than it is for the ignorant ones who know no better.

Following their defeat at the hand of Josh Cody's mighty passing team, the Morey lads settled down to the hard grind of overcoming all odds. And Coach Morey sent them through hard practices, scrimmages and workouts. They went to the field early and came in late, their form improved and their pace quickened. As a whole, the entire squad is on its feet in the pink of condition. The quarter-back position that has beent causing the coaches so very much worry has now been reinforced and one of the strongest points on the team. With the veterans, Hodges and Bogue once more in uniform and Luke Ward, friskly Frosh star, who has been on the sick list, back; Morey has a very brainy and varied selection to pick from. Ward has won for himself the distinction of being one of the most efficient broken field runners on the campus. The other weak point has been with the toe artist, but King David has developed a pair of huskies that run under the names of Crawford and Hartselle, that are good for a good deal above the average yardage. Besides this pair, Buck Ellis, will do his share of pigskin booting. Ellis was out of the game last week due to an injured ankle, but is ready' for action."

He starred on Major Cavanaugh's Dartmouth team and won for himself an All-American berth at a back-field position, on Walter Camp's Ail- American selection. During his five years at Middle-bury Coach iiorey's teams were not defeated by teams of other colleges of the same rating. With an enrollment of five hundred at the Northern institution the Tiger mentor bucked the leading teams of the East and came through with a lion's share of victories. Coach Morey was assigned to assist iKnute Rockne at Notre Dame in 1920. The following season he took over the reign at Middlebury and thence to Auburn.
