Bronze Star Goes
To Auburn Sailor
Who 'Stood By'
Lawrence G. Piening, NROTC
student from Holly, Mich., was
presented the Bronze Star Cita­tion
by Capt. J. M. Callahan, of­ficer
in charge of the API Navy
unit, last week.
The citation read: "For dis­tinguishing
himself by heroic
and meritorious conduct in stand­ing
by his station and attempting
to line up fire and bilge pumps
on engine room bilges, although
the engine room was rapidly
flooding as a result of his ship's
striking a mine. With outstand­ing
courage, he stood by his sta­tion,
although water was pouring
directly on him from a hole in
the bulkhead, and did not leave
until ordered out by competent
authority."
The* sailor served 34 months in
the Navy, 18 of which have been
overseas. Formerly a motor ma­chinist
3-c, he holds the Ameri­can
theater, Asiatic-Pacific, and
Philippine Occupation Ribbons.

Play Brings Favorable Comment
From One Who Had To Stand Up
By Sue Abbott
The first nighters were seated
and standing; the house lights
were dimmed and the curtain
was raised on the opening per­formance
of "Blithe Spirit."
The Auburn Players, under the
direction of Telfair B. Peet, scored
another success—a ghostly play
concerning the return of a. low-plane
spirit in the ectoplasmic
form of Elvira, the first wife of
Charles Condamine. Her sudden
appearance caused no end of con­fusion
and disturbance in the
hiterto peaceful lives of Mr. Con­damine
and his second wife, Ruth.
Excellent
Chrystine Sannemann, as the
beautiful and elusive but design­ing
first wife was visible only to
Charles, played by R. L. Staple-ton
and her presence was very
disconcerting to Almena Fletch­er
who portrayed Ruth. All three
gave excellent performances.
Maria (Skippy) Duchac was
impressive as she filled the part
of Madame Archati and conjured
knocks, voices, and finally Elvira
from the beyond.
Ably assisting these players
were Dr. and "-Mrs. Bradman,
played by Bruce Glover and
Julanne Drake, and the maid
Edith—Dorothy Harper.
Humorous, Tense
Laughs and chilling screams
were sparkled liberally through­out
the play. The acting was very
good on all counts; the costumes
were excellent; and the after-show
comments were favorable.
There was only' one thing
wrong. People were turned away
at the door due to inadequate
seating facilities. However, this
was of course through no fault of
the Players and to them I take off
Squires' All-Star Game

will be turned over to the Intra­mural
Department for the pur­chase
of athletic equipment.

Planning Your Christmas Holiday! Here's A Suggestion
Do you like yours large, medi­um,
or small?
The Red Cross has a size to
suit you, no matter what your
choice is. If you're lazy, there
are the small j>nes; if you feel
extra patriotic, maybe yours
would be large.
After you've decided what size
you want, it's time to go see
Evelyn Beall, production chair­man
of the Collegiate Red Cross
chapter, who lives in Dorm III.
Complete with instructions, the
yarn is yours for the asking.
Knit Two—Drop One
Then you can begin knitting—
and dropping stitches — on a
sleeveless khaki sweater for the
Red Cross. The finished products
will go to Army posts and hos­pitals.
There is still plenty of wool on
hand. Evelyn feels that coeds
should begin soon in order to
complete the sweaters before
spring. Although the quota for
this year has not been set, Au­burn
coeds have a lot to knit be­fore
coming up to last year's
standard of 50 sweaters.
It's O.K.
According to the best campus
authorities, it is proper etiquette
to knit in class, if you have your
professor's permission. And of
course, it is the very thing to
take your yarn home with you for
Christmas vacation.
All you need is your talent and
your own needles; then the yarn
can fly.
Freshman Class Meets
Thursday In Langdon
The freshman class will meet
in Langdon Hall at 5 p. m. Thurs­day,
Nov. 29, to decide upon the
election of the 24 girls who will
serve in Miss Auburn's court and
present cakes to the 24 winners
of the Cake Race.
Thad Salmon, president of the
class, urged all members to be
present.
So Sorry
Even if no one believes it, the
Plainsman staff does study—
around exam time.
That is the reason that next
week's issue, the one which will
be dated Dec. 5, will be the last
regular issue of this quarter.
All stories to be included in
this last issue must be turned in
at the Plainsman office not later
than 5 p. m. Monday, Dec. 3.
Wednesday Send-Off
Is Final Pep Rally
"Goodbye, goodbye, be good,
and calm the Hurricane of Mi­ami."
This is what the students of
API will be saying to the Tiger
team of Auburn Wednesday
night. The team leaves from
Markles Drug Store at 7:30.
The Auburn band will be there
to furnish the music and the stu­dents
will march behind the band
in a big parade. The freshmen
are requested to wear their rat-caps.
Louis McClain, head cheerlead­er,
says, "Everyone turn out to
see the tiger team off for their
big trip to Miami. This is the last
game of the season, so we want
this sendoff to be the best of all
the rest."
ON THE CAMPUS
Showing that you don't have to drop your knitting just be­cause
you are in a classroom are Mary Frances Acker, Gadsden,
Dama Wills Monlevallo, and Betty Grimes, Auburn.
Knitting sleeveless sweaters for the Red Cross, they predict
that Auburn coeds will take to clicking their needles in their
spare time over the Christmas holidays.

"No Use Asking—
We Can't Do It"
Well, we said "no."
She didn't say "please." She just looked
sad. That was to be expected, of course;
the USSF field representative had heard
good things about Auburn students,
things that made her expect us to go all
in cooperating.
True, we did get off to a good start. Rep­resentatives
from almost every key or­ganization
on the _ campus attended the
meeting at which she explained the World
Student Service Fund. We listened to her
suggestions for our own drive in February.
We students were interested. We were
attentive. But in the end we said, "No."
Auburn students, we said, wouldn't con­tribute
$1500 to WSSF or to any other
drive; there was no use in asking us again
because it couldn't be done. „
Even considering present estimates of
next quarter's enrollment, each student
would have to contribute 50 cents.
And that just won't happen. Period, said
our drive chairmen.
They had practically no other answer to
give the WSSF, representative. They have
been embarrassed at the end of each drive
this quarter by the scanty contributions
of students. To cite the most recent ex­ample,
in the campus drive for Victory
bonds, only one 25 dollar bond has been
bought. It was paid for with the proceeds
from the Stamp Stomp, not directly by
any student.
But we Auburn students should be able
to do it. Last year, with less than half of
the enrollment expected for next quarter,
Auburn students gave nearly $700 to
WSSF. One girls' house contributed $1.17
per resident.
By raising our quota to $1500, we would
merely be maintaining last year's propor­tions
for this year's enrollment.
It would take work on the part of the
drive chairmen and their co-workers. It
would take the cooperation of the entire
student body. But we feel that we should
reconsider the campus situation to see if
there is any plausible way we can meet
the goal.
And if we think there is, we'd like the
WSSF lady to be informed that we really
didn't mean "no."
Did You Ever Try To Study
In A Dating Parlor?
API's main library is being used by stu­dents,
as a place-to study. This fall, more
than ever, students are realizing that they
can learn more effectively in a quiet at­mosphere.
But with the increase in students actual­ly
using the library, students have begun
using it as a place to "pick up" dates.
Freshmen girls started the procession and
upperclassmen, who should have known
better, took over the technique.
Now the library has become a sort of
second dating parlor. After the couple has
met, they choose an empty table, open a
book and start talking. In a few minutes,
as a rule, they are disturbing the students
around them.
The librarians have been lenient about
the no-talking rule. They realize that no
two people can study together in perfect
quiet. If the students will not disturb
others, they are to be encouraged to work
together. For this reason the librarians
don't caution students not to talk loudly
until the distracting conversation is in
progress.
Perhaps WSG could work out some sort
of solution so that if a girl at the library
spoke too loudly twice, she would receive
a minor. Maybe the library could work out
a system in which coeds used the reserve
room and the men used the main reading
room; graduate students could use the
east reading room.
Or if one of those plans didn't work, •
maybe girls could have certain nights to
go to the library and men other nights.
These are not only foolish suggestions;
they would also be unfair to the real stu­dents.
But for the sake of the students who do
go to the library to study, the rest of the
student body could be more considerate.
They could begin practicing an unwritten
rule that they will go to the library to
study; they will go elsewhere on dates.
And if the students who have nowhere
else to go present a convincing argument,
perhaps arrangements could be made to
keep Student Center open during the week
for dates.
Solved:
Temporarily >
To help solve the housing problem for
coeds, sorority girls were asked to live
five in a suite for the next quarter. No
independents will be involved in the mov­ing;
it was only sorority girls.
On the whole, the cooperation has been
good.
As the administration knows, the situa­tion
is not ideal. The dormitory rooms
were made for two girls, not three. The
extra crowded conditions in the room will
make study harder. Problems in adjust­ment
will arise.
But, when weighed with sending home
a first or second quarter freshmen who has
failed to pass one subject, the solution of
crowded living quarters is preferable. And
it will be only a temporary solution.
The plans for the new quadrangle to be
built on Bullard Field are already in the
hands of the State Building Commission.
Materials for the building are not yet
available; so construction could not be­gin
even if the plans had been completely
approved and money appropriated.
Some schools, to solve the problem,
might have said, "Five girls to a suite; if
you don't like it, go home." Auburn coeds,
however, were given a choice. If they re­fused,
that was their privilege.
The girls who accepted were not in­fluenced
by pressure from the administra­tion.
Whatever their reasons, they should be
glad that they can help Auburn out. And,
in spite of their problems, they will get a
liberal education on how to live agreeably
with other people which will certainly be
worthwhile.
Overheard—
Students Talking
An Auburn man, near the post office,
said to a friend, "I got a card wrote to Ma
and it shore do need mailing."
". Picturesque language, but how far in
the business world will it get him?
The occasion may arise when he wants
to make a good impression on a cultured
business man. That impression will count
on language, manners, and personal ap­pearance.
Even a veterinarian must associate with
people; the secluded research engineer
must prepare concise, clear, correct re­ports
for his superiors.
College students, and especially college
graduates, are generally conceded to be
intelligent. One who uses proper English
is not necessarily an aesthete, an eager
beaver, or a fool.
Then what is the reason? Is it ignorance
of the fundamentals of good English, our
native tongue, or is it fear of what our
colleagues might think that makes us speak
incorrectly?

Walking the Plank
With Lenny Payne
NAVY BLUES
The Navy dance scheduled for
Friday evening has been cancell­ed
due to lack of time for plan­ning
and preparation. Plans will
continue for a Navy Ball to be
given next quarter. The early
planning and the fact of no pre­cedence
will make it possible
sometime during the first of the
quarter.
* * *
Swimming is a good sport and
pleasant recreation under the
right conditions, but did you ever
try taking a swim with an ice­berg
as a companion?
No? Well, don't try it. Take a
sailor's word for it instead. They
know from experience in the
gym pool.
Either due to the school's mis­taken
Idea of economy or else
to the negligence of employees
the pool is usually not properly
heated and as cold'as an eskimo's
Hades.
Admittedly, Bluejackets are a
hardy lot, but there is a limit to
all endurance, and if some hu­manitarian
does not intercede in
our behalf, the results may be
tragic.
* * *
NAVY JOYS:
The Chi Omega sorority is
planning a tea-dance for the
NROTC on Saturday afternoon.
This is strictly on the "qt" and
the plans may not materialize,
but here is hoping.
* * »
Pay day will soon be here and
once again the division of "haves"
and "have nots" will be tem­porarily
eliminated from our
midst. Debts will be paid and a
good time will be had by all
until the dough runs out.
* « *
The bright spot in our future
is the possibility of a long Christ­mas
vacation. If all the sailors
are good little boys and study
their lessons, they may be re­warded
with a leave starting Dec.
14, and extending to New Year's
Day. All coeds who are back for
New Year's Eve are invited to a
party to be held in Ag Hollow.
Brose will pour the tea, and it
is hoped that "Queenie" will be
able to terminate her engage­ments
in Birmingham in time to
assist.

That Kind Of Fame
Dear Editor,
It seems that Auburn has
achieved another "first"—the first
school we've heard of that out­wardly
sanctions the approval
and disapproval by the student
body of the decisions made by
the football referrees in regard
to penalties.
When the opposing team is
penalized, our cheerleaders im­mediately
get on the job, and
"gee tanks" is the yell we hear
blasting through the air. This
hurts no one except ourselves.
We must not forget the fact that
the school is affected by what we
do as a body.
"Aw nuts" is another yell of
which Auburn is guilty. Yes, in
our opinion guilty. We "tank" the
referree for penalizing the other
team, then "Boo" him for pen­alizing
our own.
Have you just followed the
cheerleaders and the crowd, or
have you really thought how
these yells sound to our visitors
and to those of us who have been
brought up to believe that win-

P. O. Davis Writes
Book On O'Neal
Copies of "One" Man—Edward
Asbury O'Neal, III, of Alabama",
a publication of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute written by
P. O. Davis, were distributed last
week to land grant college presi­dents,
extension service leaders,
and agricultural leaders.
The book is a biographical
sketch of Mr. O'Neal, described
in the foreword as "a true south­ern
gentleman, an endowed lead­er;
but the nation's Number One
leader in organizd agriculture
there is to him—in his vision and
his aims—no North, no South, no
East, no West, but one great na­tion
with all for one and for all.
The foundation of this version is
solidarity of farm people."
Included in the book are tri­butes
to Mr. Davis by many dis­tinguished
Americans, including
Dr. L. N. Duncan and Dean M. J.
Funchess. * -

'Wilson' Appears
At Tiger Theatre
For Three-Day Run
Heralded as the most import­ant
event in 50 years of motion
picture h i s t o r y , Darryl F.
Zanuck's technicolor production
of "Wilson" is running Wednes­day
and Thursday at the Tiger
Theatre.
More than two years in the
making, the film—the greatest
project ever undertaken by 20th
Century-Fox—has shattered all
previous Hollywood production
records.
Heading the largest cast ever
assembled for a single motion
picture (12,000), players are Alex­ander
Knox as Wilson; Charles
Coburn as the President's' inti­mate
friend; Geraldine Fitzger­ald
as Edith Boiling Calt and
many others.
Story Of Americans
The deeply moving story of an
American family, set against the
drama of our country's most ex­citing
era, was directed by Henry
King who was responsible 'for
such memorable hits as "Alex­ander's
Ragtime Band" and "The
Song of Bernadette."
The story begins in 1909, with
Wilson an inconspicuous univer­sity
president. It ends twelve
years later, on the day he leaves
office as President "of the United
States.
From Football To Versailles
In between, it moves through
the dramatic kaleidoscope of
events ranging in locale from a
football f i e l d at Princeton,
through the White House, and to
the celebrated Hall of Mirrors at
Versailles.
In its niusical setting, composed
by Academy Award-winner Al­fred
Newman, "Wilson" presents
a cavalcade of musical Americana
with 87 of this country's best-loved
songs heard throughout.

ning the game is important, but
the spirit in which we win it or
lose it is more important?

of which good sportsmanship
should certainly be a vital part?

Please Let 'Em

Dear Mimi,
Having noticed several disap­pointed
faces of Auburn students
when reading the last several is­sues
of the Plainsman (at the
Grille, of course), I thought it
might be worth our while to find
the cause of the tragic tear drops.
The disappearance of "Jaywalk­ing",
it seems, it cutting down
on the incentive of some Auburn
students to even notice the edi­torial

did not approve of the Thornton-
Laney sense of humor I, for one,
really miss reading it.
Naturally we all realize that
Jack and Bill are busy with their

I think, contained the type of
constructive criticism that the
Plainsman needed.
If enough Auburn students

I hope some other students will

IM Board Returns To Pre-War System
Of Points For Major, Minor Sports
The Interfraternity Intramural Sports Board has returned
to a prje-war system of points for winning teams. The fra­ternity
with the largest aggregate score will win the IM
Board cup.
SAILOR WINS BOND
AT STAMP STOMP
William Watstori, a sailor from
Macon, Ga., won the 25-dollar
Victory Bond in the raffle at the
Executive Cabinet's Stamp Stomp
Friday, Nov. 16. His number, 241,
was drawn by Yvonne Wallace,
Miss Auburn.
Asked how he felt about win­ing
the bond, William said, "Feels
pretty good 'cause-rit's the first
thing I ever won."-
The system, which the Board
used until 1942-43, was discon­tinued
because the small enroll­ment
made it impossible for
some fraternities to have teams.
Since that time, two fraternities
have been allowed to field a team
jointly.
The last cup presented under
the point system was won in
1942-43 by the SPE fraternity who
had a total point score of 553
points.
These points were distributed
as follows: 127 in softball, 75 in
basketball, 50 in softball, 25 in
horseshoes, 41 swimming, 85 in
tennis,'and 150 in touch football.
Although the Sig Eps took first
place in only one sport, touch-football,
they scored consistently
in all tournaments.
Sigma Chi ran second with 548
points, Kappa Sigma third with
518, SAE was fourth with 470.
Scoring in the Interfraternity
league is divided into major and
minor sports.
The major sports, touch foot­ball,
basketball, and soft ball are
played in leagues and carry the
following points:
Winner of play-off 150
Second 135
Third 127
Fourth 118
Second in league 90
Third 75
Fourth '. 65
Fifth 50
All other places in leagues
above five teams carry 50 points
for entrance play.
The minor team sports—volley­ball,
tennis, golf, swimming,
track, horseshoes, wrestling and
any other minor sports which
may be added—are to be count­ed
as the 100 point sports.
If the sport is played in
leagues, the scoring will be as
follows:
Winner of play off 100
Second
Third
Fourth
Second in league .
Third
Fourth ... -.
Fifth . _ .
91
81
71

42
35
All other places over fourth in
league 35 points.
If the sport is not played in
leagues, scoring will be straight
from 100 points, similiar to the
league scoring.
All teams ranking will get 35
points for entering.
Professor Of Dairying
Honored By Magazine
For Service On Staff
The "Milk Dealer," national
trade journal, honored one of its
longest-serving staff members in
October when it featured Prof.
A. D. Burke, head of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic dairy depart­ment,
for his quarter pf a cen­tury
service as its technical edi­tor.
Professor Burke answered in­quiries
from dairymen, process­ors,
and manufacturers in prac­tically
every country of the
world, and from every state in
the union.
In the feature which the "Milk
Dealer" printed, a summary was
given of the many services
which Professor Burke has ren­dered
through his position as
technical editor. It was pointed
out that he had answered hund­reds
of questions on a great var­iety
of subjects relating to dairy
production and manufacture.
He was appointed head profess­or
of dairying at API in 1929.

Advisors Like Kuder Tests
Of the tests given, the Kuder
Preference is a favorite with the
advisors. It shows the interest in
nine different fields, giving a clue
to a vocation the applicant might
choose. He is advised in the light
of his handicap and his scores on
IQ and personality tests. Ad­visors
merely suggest; they never
tell veterans what to do. If one
chooses something the advisor
cannot approve, it is told to go
home and come back later. Such
cases are rare.
Ages range from 17 to 49. The
present ration of women to men,
1 to 20, is expected to increase
with the discharge of more
WACS and WAVES.
Veterans have been placed in
training for everything from poul­try
raisers to engineers. Others
become truck drivers, veterinar­ians,
shoe repairmen, or depart­ment
managers.
There was the 37-year old vet­eran
of Attu, one of 12 survivors
out of 180 who landed with him,
who had been disabled when a
piece of shrapnel went through
his leg and knee. Formerly a farm
hand, he had passed the second
grade. After a conference with an
advisor, he was placed at Gun-tersville
as a repairer of fishing
tackle.
Veteran Becomes Mechanic
Another had lost a leg on Sai-pan
and could not work at his
former job. His pension of $80 a
month was not enough to support
a wife, baby, and mother the
way he wanted them supported.
He showed an aptitude for me­chanics.
His advisor suggested
that he train to be an auto parts
manager and he liked the idea.
He will receive $129 for the 24
months he trains in a store and
commercial school in his home­town.
About $500 will be spent
on him.
One former WAC wanted to be
a dietitian, but she showed a keen

Food, Slang Baffle
Ramon Lobo Lopez
By Willnita Wyait
Getting used to American food
was the most difficult parts of
adjustment for Romon Lobo
Lopez, new addition to the Au­burn
campus from Truxillo, Hon­duras.
When he first came to the
United States, he ate nothing but
handwiches.
Understanding our slang is still
one of his biggest problems. He
speaks English well, but is still
trying "to catch on" to our slang.
Plays Basketball
Ramon, a first quarter fresh­man
in mechanical engineering,
plays basketball with the Latino
A.merican Club here. In Truxillo
he won two trophies for his
basketball accomplishments.
Auburn's reputation brought
Ramon here. He says it is the
friendliest town he has ever
seen. He likes the spirit, enjoys
the pep rallies, and thinks the
teachers here are more polite
than the ones in Truxillo.
First Football Games
Since football isn't played in
Honduras, Ramon is enjoying the
games this fall for the first time.
Ramon said that he like most
of the girls, whom he considers
friendly. In fact, his first impres­sion
of Auburn was "a lot of
pretty girls." Only a few Hun-duras
girls attend college, he
said.
Ramon, a versatile fellow, likes
school and all its activities.
Enrollment Of Vets
Expected To Double
For Winter Quarter
By Pat Prizer
P. M. Norton, coordinator of
veterans affairs, estimates that
the probable increase in veteran
enrollment for next year will be
from 500 to 750. There are 483
now attending API.
At present, there are 150 mar­ried
veterans. These and the
many more that are expected
present an extreme housing prob­lem.
Approximately one-fourth of
the present number are attend­ing
Auburn under the rehabilita­tion
program. The others are en­rolled
under the G. I. Bill. The
reports from professors as to the
attitude and work of the Veter­ans
have on the whole been fav­orable.
There is but one WAC at Au­burn
and although several wom­en
have inquired, only one has
registered for next quarter.
was placed in a flower shop as a
floral designer.
A discharged sailor of Sand
Mountain, the son of deaf par­ents,
had finished high school at
16. He drove a truck until he was
18, then enlisted. He was advised
to study chemical engineering.
They Take Vet, Ag, Engineering
Three large groups are placed
in college—veterinary medicine,
agriculture, and engineering.
The Auburn office received ap­plications
from all parts of the
state, but most of them come
from the eastern section between
Dothan, Alexander City, and
Roanoke. The other centers are
at Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and
Gadsden.
Dr. Broxson came here from
Montgomery where he was con­nected
with the war manpower
commission in industrial en­gineering.
Before that he did
similar work at the University of
Florida for 10 years, University
of Cincinnatti for three years,
and New York University for
one year.

Dr. Helen Deane Finds She Is One
Of Few Women Medics In South
By Billy Stephenson
"Women doctors seem to be
very scarce in the South, but not
in the North," commented Au­burn's
newest addition to the
infirmary staff, Dr. Helen M.
Deane, adding that the people of
this section seldom hear of wom­en
in the top ranks of the medi­cal
profession.
"I think," continued Dr. Deane,
"that if more women doctors real­ized
how pleasant the climate is
and how nice the people are,
there would be many more wom­en
in the medical field who
would come to the Southern
states."
Dr. Deane, who could be dis­tinguished
as a Northerner be­cause
of her slight accent, came
to API early in October from the
Dupont ordinance plant in Child-ersburg
to become* assistant to
Dr. J. W. Dennis. She is in
charge of all girls who receive
medical attention at the infirm­ary.
Before Dr. Deane came to Ala­bama
to work in the medical
division of the Dupont plant as
a toxicologist, she was employed
by Smith College, North Hamp-
. ton, Mass., as one of five full-i
time physicians at that school.
Her first job after finishing her
training—was that of resident
physician in the New York State
School for Delinquent Girls.
Likes Working With Girls
Dr. Deane has never practiced
medicine privately, but she says
she thinks she* would enjoy the
work. Because she likes working
with girls, she said that she has
never quite been able to break
away from work such as she is
doing now, except for the few
years she spent with Dupont in
an effort to help in the war ef­fort
as much as she could.
How she happened to become
interested in becoming an. MD,
Dr. Deane explained in a pleas­ant
voice and with a motherly
smile, features with highlight
her personality. "I was filled with
the ambition to become a medi­cal
missionary, and I would have
been, had I not changed my mind
after three years of college work.
In my fourth year I decided to
become a doctor and follow the
work that I am now engaged in."
Studied In Vienna
She received her training at
Carleton C o l l e g e , Northfield,
Minn., University of Minnesota
Medical School, and she spent
several months in Vienna, where
she took special training.
•"I think women do as good a
job as men in the medical pro­fession,
and in some cases, bet­ter.
The medical women have
played an important part during
the war, a fact which many peo­ple
do not realize."
In concluding our interview
with the new API doctor .we,
could not hesitate to ask that
familiar and pet question of all
Plainsman reporters, "What do
you think of Auburn and its
people?"
And then she gave that familiar
answer that has undoubtedly-been
given by everybody who
has ever come to The Fairest
Village:
"I like Auburn very much and
I think the people are all very
nice and cordial." But Dr. Deane
added a familar war-time quota­tion,
"I wish there were enough
houses for everybody!"

"The Man With The Tape"
Tigers To Fate Hurricane 01 Miami U
By Jim Bradley
While the hide of the Louisiana
Tech Bulldog is curing at the
Tigers' lair, the Plainsmen are
working hard preparing for a
game which looks to be one of
their toughest of the season.
Never in the history of Miami
University has there been a
stronger team wearing the green
jersey of the Hurricane. The pow­erful
squad from Miami have met
and defeated Florida, Chatta­nooga,
St. Louis, Miami (Ohio),
Clemson, North Carolina, and
Michigan State, while losing only
to Georgia by a scant 21-27 mar­gin.
South Carolina fought the
Hurricanes to a 13-13 deadlock.
Miami's spectacular " triumph
over Michigan State Friday leaves
only Auburn and the University
of Havana between the Hurri­canes
and their greatest record in
history.
According to experts the Miam-ians
are favored over the Plains­men
by three touchdowns. By
defeating Auburn, the Hurricanes
are almost certain to get an
Orange Bowl bid.
Jack Harding, Miami's coach is
a shrewd strategist who has built
a formidable grid machine from
a well-stocked squad. H a r ry
Ghaul, captain and fullback, is
one of the nation's greatest punt­ers,
having a kicking average of
40 plus for the season.
Auburn's team has been strick­en
with a flu epidemic this week.
Eight members of the squad are
confined to the infirmary and
two fullbacks are definitely out?
The hospitalized are: End John
Liptak, tackle Jim Burns, full­back
Gene Norman, halfbacks
Bill Abraham and Eddie Mizer-
Alpha was close behind with
eighteen. Third and fourth places
went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon (13)
and Pi Kappa Alpha (10).
Auburn Ties Tech
Auburn's cross-country squad,
despite disadvantages, Thursday
tied Georgia Tech's more experi­enced
team, 28-28. Had Auburn's
current number one man, Tom
Lowe, run the story might
have been-quite different.
Lowe Mix-Up
Lowe was notified before the
meet that he was ineligible only
to find out, just after the race
has started, that he would have
been able to compete.
Charlie "Red Hot" Durham
paced both squads with a 17:50
time for the 3.2 mile course. Don
Harper, Auburn sophomore, was
second, 25 seconds behind Dur­ham.
Lindsley, a third Auburn
runner, finished before Tech's
first man, Walker and Uptegrove,
but he was not entered on the
varsity squad. Only recently re­covered
from a leg injury, Lind­sley
was not expected to finish
as well as he did.
Keesee, Steele, and Rooks com­pleted
the Auburn scoring with
sixth, eighth, and eleventh places.
Durham led most of the way,
never being threatened on the
last half of the course.

_.- By Buel Johnson
The Auburn Tigers defeated a
Louisiana Polytechnic Institute
eleven here Saturday before a
sparse crowd of 3,000.
The game was high lighted by
the fac„t that the Tiger's first and
second stringers played almost
the whole game. The Louisiana
Bulldogs played heads-up ball all
afternoon with Reid, a potential
"Little All-American" g u a r d,
breaking up the interference on
many plays.
The game was only a few min­utes
old when Curtis Kuykendall
sped around right end for a 51-
yard run behind beautiful block­ing
to score standing up.
The next score was made by
Dan Hataway about two minutes
before the first quarter ended.
He ran off tackle, cut back to
mid-field and crossed the goal
just as he was tackled by the
safety man.
The Plainsmen took the ball
on their own 45 and drove to the
Bulldog 10-yard line. Kuykendall
smashed over right guard for the
score.
Both teams fumbled frequently
in the third quarter.
Hataway caught a 19-yard pass
from Kuykendall and ran for the
score untouched by any LPI men.
