Athletic Department's Proposed Ticket
Policy To Go Before Cabinet Tomorrow
A proposed plan to charge students 25 cents for each varsity
basketball, wrestling, baseball and tyrack engagement
held on the Auburn campus will be presented to the Student
Executive Cabinet tomorrow afternoon, it was learned yesterday
by The Plainsman. The cabinet will hold an open meeting
on the matter at 5 p.m. in Student
citizen, hold a college degree or c o n d u c t e d a s p r o v i d e d in Article

candidate takes up his award,
and must have knowledge of the
language of the country.
Interested applicants. are requested
to contact T. D. Stevens
in Room 100 of the forestry building.
II, Election Regulations, in the
By-Laws."
The paragraph now calls for
the qualification of five candidates.
A two-thirds approval of
Cabinet members would be necessary
to adopt the proposed
change.
Center,
..Joe Meade, president of the
Cabinet, urged all students who
wish to discuss the proposed plan
to attend this meeting of the Cabinet.
Final adoption of the plan dtv
pends upon the action of cabinet.
Plan Revealed
In a conference with athletic
officials yesterday, The Plainsman
learned the-complete details of the
proposal. According to athletic officials
the plan will call for the
charging «f 25 cents for each varsity
baseball, basketball, track,
and wrestling meet on the campus.
Freshman sports will not be
included, as students will still be
admitted free to all frosh athletic
events, o'fficials stated. .
The proposed plan would call
for the sale of tickets prior to each
game at the Field House, with any
remaining student tickets being
placed on sale at the game. If this
plan is adopted, athletic officials
stated, it will become effective
with the opening home basketball
game.
Reason For Proposal
Athletic officials gave five reasons
for presenting the new ticket
plan and urged all students to
consider each reason with care.
The reasons given for the proposed
plan were:
"(1) The Athletic Association's
part of the student activities fee
for the next 30 years has been
pledged by the Board of trustees
to the retirement of bonds on the
newly enlarged Cliff Hare Stadium.
Because of the removal of
the entire student activity fee allotment
for athletics, the Athletic
Assdciation is receiving no money
from students for campus athletic
events or for the maintenance of
campus athletic facilities.
"(2). Under the present plan
for basketball season alone, the
Athletic Association will not be
able to receive enough money to
pay for the officiating of the game.
As only a few seats are sold to
non-students, the Athletic Association
will receive no revenue for
over 90 per cent of the attendance
at basketball alone. The cost of
obtaining two officials for each
game is $50 plus expenses. Athletic
officials stated that total expense
average
each game.
around $200 for
SCENE FROM PLAYERS PRODUCTION OF WOU TOUCHED ME'
SIX OF THE AUBURN PLAYERS are shown in a scene from the opening play of the season,
"You Touched Me!" The production has played to capacity audiences since its opening last week
and will continue through Tuesday, Nov. 22.
"(3) If this plan is adopted all
of the money taken in from students
will go into the maintenance
of athletic facilities here at Auburn.
Under t h e present plan
there is no student income for the
upkeep of athletic facilities. It
will also be used to bring conferT
ence athletic teams here for sports
events.
"(4) The first project under the
proposed plan calls for the. completion
of the new baseball park.
A cyclone fence will be erected
and sufficient bleachers will be
purchased in time for . the 1950
season. Without the money obtained
by charging students for
admission, t h e s e improvements
can not be made.
"(5) After a survey of student
activity fees paid at SEC schools,
it was found that Auburn students
pay less than any other school in
the Southeastern Conference. Unless
additional revenue is obtained
to replace that formerly obtained
through student activity fees, Auburn
will be forced to slow down
its athletic program."
Meade urged all students to discuss
the matter with members of
the Cabinet before the meeting tomorrow.
"Since this is a very' important
change, the Cabinet would
like to know directly the opinions
of the- students," Meade stated.

staff are urged to attend a meeting
at 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17.

An Important Decision
A. proposal to charge students 25 cents
for each v a r s i t y wrestling, basketball,
baseball, and track contest toH5e held on
the campus will be voted on at a meeting
of the Student Executive Cabinet tomorrow
afternoon at 5 p.m. in the "student center.
Since this proposed change in policy
in regard to handling of student tickets is
of utmost importance to every student,
The Plainsman urges all students to consider
the plan and reasons for>the proposed
change carefully.
In a story carried on page one Of today's
Plainsman the Athletic Association gives
complete details about the plan and the
reasons for such a pla"n. After a great deal
of careful consideration and thought, athletic
officials have devised such a plan.
According to members of the Athletic Association
this is the only method whereby
the Association can operate for the benefit
of students.
The Athletic A s s o c i a t i o n is doing
everything possible to give the students
an opportunity to criticize the plan. Students
are urged to attend the meeting of
the Cabinet tomorrow and to present their
opinions on the matter at this time. Unless
the Cabinet approves the proposal it will
not b e c o m e effective, athletic officials
have stated.
The Plainsman urges all students to
survey the plan carefully and to judge
fairly the reasons for the plan. All members
of the Cabinet will welcome opinions
on the plan as they are anxious to .know
student reaction to the proposal. Students
are being permitted to help determine the
policy on student ticket, sales through the
desire of the Athletic Association to serve
the students' sufficiently. The proposed
plan deserves the proper attention and
judgement by the students and the Cabinet.

Coach Brown Has Done Remarkable Job
After six weeks of rugged competition
against Southeastern Conference teams,
Coach Earl Brown's game weary Tigers
Will get a well-deserved rest w i t h their
open date this week end. After a rather
disappointing opener against Ole Miss in
September, t h e fighting Tigers have amazed
football fails with their sparkling; often
b r i l l i a n t , gridiron p e r f o r m a n e W . ' ^ y i d t o ry
over Mississippi State heartbf §a"Mng' ties
w i t h Florida and Georgia, and b a t e defeat
at t h e hands of Tulane, Georgia Tech,
and Vanderbilt have gi^nen the Tigers a
r e p u t a t i o n as a t e am to be feared in the
Southeastern Conference.
Although picked to finish en the bott
om of t h e SEC, the Tigers hav<» upset all
pre-season predictions with their determined
style of grid play. Since their opener,
the Tigers have given all of their opponents
plenty of headaches in gridiron
b a t t l e s . With a team liberally sprinkled
w i t h sophomores p e r f o r m e r s , Coach
Brown has d o n e a remarkable job of
moulding t h e Tiger eleven into a well-drilled,
determined grid machine. Despite
numerous handicaps caused by a lack of
important experience and by injuries to
key players, the popular.: Tiger coach has
developed a team with both the ability
and desire to win.
We-firmly believe that Coach Brown
and his energetic staff have done t h e most
outstanding coaching job in t h e conference
this season. Realizing the s h o r t c o m i n g s^
his material as well as its potential ability,
Coach B r o w n a n d his assistants have
worked unceasingly to revitalize the long
dormant Tiger. Displaying confidence iff
each of his players and showing unending
patience in his work to improve the team
with each performance", Coach Brown has
given to Auburn a team which every A Unburn
man and women cart be- proud of:
•The stunning last minute tie with Georgia
last week was a blow to a team which not
only need, but deserved a win. Despite
the tie Coach Brown was strong in his
praise and confidence in the Tiger eleven.
With Earl Brown at the helm of the
Tiger football program, Auburn appears
at l a s t to be headed for brighter days.
After a week of rest, the Tigers should
prove to be a dangerous foe for Clemson*
and Alabama. Improvement like that seen
in the last few games could easily give the
Tigers victories over the Carolina Tigers
and the Crimson Tide.

Ad LIbbIng By Graham McTeer
The number one Curse of_the carnpUS again this season is
the football parley. The fever for donating re'guterly to local
bookies seeing to s . g r e a d frond week to week', with housemothers,
janitors, and coeds being the latest .addicts.
All parley fiends seem in agreerneht that the cards, like all
other forms of gambling, have odds rrittch tod high to permit
their paying off* in the long run,
but there is something about the"m
that fascinates many into "inVest-
Mcleer
ing" every week.
Fans gather all iniormation of
previous games, scene of games,
^• Sri juries, arid
internal strife
on teams, and
then sit down
arid figure out
the b e s t bets.
T h e y declare
that they Will
only play three
g a m es, but
s o m e t e a ms
look t o o good
to pass Up. So
the real gambler
proceeds to lessen his chances
of winning by playing six Or
eight games'.
Several factors that cause this
craze to hang oh can be mentioned.
For ofie thing, investors don't
realize that their weekly contributions
to the pddmakers add Up
to impressive §urrts, whereas
one week's profit, in case pro-gnastieatings
come through, seem
to put the winner on easy street
till next week's sheets eorrfe out.
There's always the remote possibility
of picking a multi-game
winner and beating the bookie^
T6o, all sorts of exaggerated
stories of a. contemporary's making
a fabulous killing spread
aro'Und the campus like wildfire,
giving h o p e td regular loSerS,
Who think they are compelled to
try their luck once more to make
up for-previous losses.
And of course, armchair experts
a r e always available to
help the green guessers pick a
few "sure bets." T h e s e games
usually turn out to be the day's
major upsets that bookies love. ,
It's an impossibility to convince
a parley addict t h a t he
' can't eventually win, t h a t the
odds are stacked- too high. He
knows that-he has a system that
Will bring in the green. Arid he
is never deflated by a loss^"Me
rationalizes, "Well, it's a g 6 6 d
way to keep/ Up with the nation's
games."

Wk'at Happened To Evaluation Plan? Generally Speaking By Bruce Greenhill
For t h e past few quarters, student evaluation
of i n s t r u c t o r s has been discussed on
t h e A u b u r n campus. The plan to allow students
to r a t e their teachers categorically
at t h e end of each q u a r t e r had b e e n installed
at other leading schools and appeared
•to be working well when the topic was
first brought up here.
The plan received campus-wide approval
during the summer quarter, when a
fairly accurate poll was conducted. The
r e s u l t s indicated overwhelming support
by a majority of students and f a c u l ty
members contacted.
This paper was led to believe at that
time that the system might be installed
h e r e this quarter. However, no specific
plans have been announced. If faculty evaluation
is to be held in December, information
should have been released by now
t o acquaint students with the method so
t h a t competent judging could be made. If
t h e plan is not to be used, an official explanation
is in order.
Saturday Sportsmanship
The Auburn-Alabama freshman football
game Saturday marks the first time
that the two schools have ever met in the
gridiron sport on this campus. A record
crowd for a freshman game is expected to

Advantages of the plan are many: The
biggest factor that Would be added by
its adoption is to let an instructor know
where he is good and where he isn't—to
give him an idea of which methods jie
should continue using and which ones he
should improve. ,
Because most students are not inclined
to openly criticize a professor, anonymous
judgment, carefully weighed, would be
the o n l y device whereby an instructor
could discover his faults. The proposed
plan would provide this method.
The Plainsman, in the b e l i e f that
the entire school would benefit by teacher
evaluation and that it would receive com*
plete support, would like to see an announcement
forthcoming that the plan will be
adopted and be put in use at the earliest
practical date. We would like to know if
the idea has been dropped or temporarily
forgotten, and would request t h a t it be reconsidered
as a potential Auburn practice.

"Some days it just isn't economically
feasible to arise from
an assumed position of repose."'
That's w h a t a friend of mine,
Herbert Omar Burton, the Prat-ville
paradox, says anyway.
Seems that the other morning,
w h e n Herbert unsuspectingly
pulled himself
^ out of bed and

H To his surprise,
j | : among his fan
. m" >« ***. mail there lay
Greenhill a little reminder
from the Polly-Tek Shop.
Little, doubting that this was
a modeling contract, oUr hSro
pulled out his rustyv peri-knife
and slit the envelope right up the
flap. However, insteaa of a pos-ing
pact, Burton found a bill for
$75 worth of women's togs.
"Ha! Ha!," said bachelor Her^
bert. "They made a slight mistake
in the mailing-process." His
joy was to be short-lived—it died
an unnatural death when he read
. on a little farther and saw that
the clothes had been charged by
Mrs. H. O, Burton.
"What will Mama think? What
will Doris say? What will Papa
pay?" These thoughts all went'
rushing through Herbert's h§ad
like Citation on a muddy track.
The list of purchases include^
one'sheer nylon slip, one bag (no
allusions to the purchaser), one
grey suit, one hat and one parttie-girdle,
si*e 24. The last item
seems to back up Burton's contention
that he really isn't married
and that he didn't have some
girl charge these things for him.
In the first plate, H. O.will probably'
end up marrying some 200
pound afhazort, no 24's will be his

Would be a little small for the
slightly rotund Burton.
At first Burton tried to hush
the whole affair up, but something
had to be done about settling
the economic demands made
by the Poliy>r>k Shop. Finally,
be decided to amble bravely
doWn to th'e local women's attire
emporium and speak to the entrepreneur.
What they settled is
~a matter of conjecture* but it's a
cinch that Burton didn't pay the
$75. He'g SO tight *hOW he'd
squeeze a nickle till the Indian

I sympathize deeply with Burton.
I believe it's t i m e for the

should be among t h e first to

bachelor, I think that he should
be assured of that too.
Iri conclusion, I say that Burton
is living in a "state of bliss.
The thing I w a n t to know is
whether the blissful state is due
to ignorance, as I once supposed,

Nestled high in the Alps lies
the little Swiss village of Trhzeg •
(accent on the first syllable; rhymes
with "clover"). i
• Chief citizens of this thriving
community are wrinkled old
Hans Sjoding and his frau, Ros-chen.
Hans raises mountain goats
(Oreamni montani), and he is
largely responsible for the recent
doubling of Trhzeg's population.
Last year there were only three
inhabitants of this lovely thorp;
^Oday there are six—Hans has
bought three mor* goats.
Every morning after breakfast
Hans straps on his old camel-skin
haversack and salaloms
down to the Aarsburg city dram- ,
shop, 46 kilometers from his
home, leaving Frau Sjoding to
milk the goats andv to nail back
on the roof the shingles which
have blown off during the night.
In Aarsburg, Hans drinks goat
milk, eats goat chease spread
with goat butter, and-munches on
goat fodder. This gives 'him an
excellent opportunity to .associate
With other goatherds of trie vicin
i t y theh too, as Hans assures
with a twinkle in his eye^"Da ist
eine schone Madchen—ach! Was
fur eine hubsche Fraulein!" Hans
refers, of course, to vivacious
j Bertha Glockenblume, barmaid
at the dramshop. Bertha collects
firewood as an alternate profession;
and many a game of
draughts is interrupted, and
many an eye is turned her way,
as Bertha's husky form stalks
through town beating a load of
faggots; for Bertha is everybody's
favorite.
When Hans grows tired of spitting
at the stove and stealing coquettish
glances' at Bertha, he
tosses into his pack a handful of
hard candy for Roschen, then
trudges back up the mountainside.
On the way home he picks
a bouquet of wild primroses,' and
if it is not too cold, he removes
his mittens and weaves the flowers
into a chaplet. |
When Hans rounds the last
curve in the trail, no matter how
late in the evening, he usually
sees "Roschen, looking as angry as
the old bear in the painting which
hangs above the Sjoding fireplace
standing in front of the
little thatched cottage. Hans assumes
his best smile, then places
the garland of 'flowers over her
head, whispering, "Tschung! Bist
du mein' kleine Primel?"
If Hans is not quick enough, he
will be knocked prostrate by
Roschen's flailing fists, while she
s t a t u the obvious fact that his
ears will be properly boxed when
she gets through with them. For
the duration of the battle, Hans
coos "Tschung" at intervals and
offers bit fragments of hard candy
to his liaUsfrau. When she at
last slackens her efforts to knock
the seeds out of her husbands
Adam's apple, they sit down for
s u p p e r together. Afterwards,
while Roschen washes the wooden
dishes, Hans churns and tells
Roschen of the latest happenings
in Aarsburg. .
When' the kitchen is eleared
once more, Hans- and Roschen
stroll arm in arm down to the
little stream which runs alongside
the "row of evergreens behind
the Sjoding hut. Then they
sit on the fragrant heaps of hay
and watch the alpenglow paling
in the west. Hans struirrs lightly
on the balalaika which Great-
Uncle Frederick brought from
Asia; and the goats, their bells
chiming out of time with Hans'
music, run 1 up to nuzzle for bits
of salt. Roschen moves a little
closer to Hans as his melody
grows softer, and their minds run
together on the same course; that
this is not such a bad life, after
all. Tschung.

Letters To The Editor
Auburn, Ala.
Nov. 9, 1949
Dear Editor,
I would like to call your attention
to an error that appeared in
the November 9 edition of The
Plainsman iri regards to the reporting
of the independent touch
league games.
THe report on the Kings vs.
Boys game credited Lovelace with
scoring both touchdowns for the
Kings. This is not only an error
but a lie—both touchdowns were
made by T. E. Thomas, Who played'one
of the greatest games both
defensively and offensively that
the writer has ever had the pleasure
of witnessing.
, This letter is not written for
the purpose of publication, although
you can do as you. please,
but instead as an appeal for a re- '
traction and correction. P l e a se
give credit where credit is due.
There has been some dissension
among the Kings' players because
of these erroneous reports and if
the Kings are to continue their
winning ways this situation must
be corrected.
Since we are art independent
league We realize that we do not
rate either the space or degree of
coverage that the fraternity league
does, but please in the future try i
to give facts as long as you write
anything about us. __
Thank you very much,
L. H. Smith,
Member of Kings
Editor's Note: It is not the general
policy of The Plainsman to
answer publicly letters to t he
editor, but u p o n receiving the
above letter we feel an answer .
is in order. We are ready to admit
our mistake in the write-up
of the game, but in making his
charges Mr. Smith has made several
erroneous statements himself.
First of alrf the information in
regard to who scores a touch-down
in intramural play is obtained
f r o m the official score
sheet of the game from the P.E.
office. ' T h i s score sheet stated
that Lovelace made both touchdowns.
We realize that there is
a possibility of a mistake, jbut
we base all reports of intramural
games on the official records.
Secondly, Mr. Smith statement
t h a t an "independent
league" does not "rate either the
space ot-degree of coverage" that
the fraternity league receives is^
false. For the record we checked

Do you remember when a Negro
student applied for enrollment •
at Auburn last year? Since I have
often wondered how the students
and faculty members would have
reacted if he had beeft admitted,
I was interested in an article in
the 'Montgomery Advertiser one
day last week which gave the results
of a polL,on the subject.
Aubrey Williams, president of
the Southern Conference Educa-/
tion Fund, reported that a survey
made by his group showed that a
large majority of Southern college
instructors
favor the admission
of Negro
students to
graduate and
p r o f e s siohal
schools without
segregation.
The poll showed
that, Of the
instructors an-s
W e r i n g the
q u e S t i o n s ,
seven out of 10
favoled admitting Negro students
without segregation. In only two
states, Alabama and Mississippi,
did fewer than a majority favor
this plan.
Mr. Williams stated that only
three per cent of the teachers answering
wanted to admit Negro
stud.ents with segregation, while
two percent favored building
seperate schools in each state.
Twenty-five per cent of the
professors who returned the
questionnaires wanted to develop
Negro graduate and professional
schools according to the regional
pian proposed by the Southern
Governor's Conference. This plan
suggested that schools for Negro
students be built by several states
CQroperatively.
It appears that the figures
quoted by the" Southern Education
Conference Fund distort the
situation somewhat. While a large
majority of those answering the
questions wanted to admit Negro
students to white schools, only
some 3,400 of the 15,000 to whom
questionnaires were sent bothered
to return them. j
One instructor here suggested
that those who did answer were
probably the ones who felt most
strongly about the subject, while
those who were only mildly interested
failed to return the
questionnaires. I think this is a

Bottom Of
Thre Barrel
By Roger McClarly
I had a very interesting experience
coming back to Auburn on
the train Sunday night. A lady
about 30 took the seat next to
me. She was Well dressed, attrac-t&
e-,'^ and" wearing %ark glasses.
In the course of the trip the usual
comments were passed back
and forth about
'" being half an
h o u r behind
schedule, etc.
She removed
her dark glasses
and I noticed
both her
eyes were dis-c
o l o r e d , and
her nose slightly
s w o l l e n.
Now in casual
c o n v e rsation
you just don't
ask the obvious, so I just ignored
it. We chatted about this and
that, and 'I found her to be a
very interesting person.
-Finally she grinned and asked
me if I had ever wanted to do
something drastic for years and.*
finally just plunged ahead and
did it. Ah ha. Here was where I
found out about the black eyes.
It seems this young matron, the
mother of three children, had
long been dissatisfied with the
shape of the end of her nose. She
was returning to Montgomery
from an Atlanta hospital, where
a plastic surgeon had given her
the nose of her dreams.
The discoloration and swelling
is quite natural, and the whole
operation and recovery took only
six days. She is going to be pretty
busy getting used to the new look
and, of course, the^ thought upper-
most in her mind * was how
her husband was going to like
the change of view.
This little experience opens
new vistas for me—I get awfully
tired of shaving the same revolting
pan, especially early in the
morning. It is almost sickening
at time to think that same face
is going to stare back at you from
now on Unless? But, no, after
all, movie stars have to live, too,
not to mention the confusion it
would cause the F.B.I. ' .

Social Committee Makes Arrangements
For Student Dances And Social Events
By Bruce Gfeenhill
The important function of making arrangements for street
dances, the Homecoming dances and various other social
events held during the year, is the job of the Social Committee,
of which Kirk Jordan is chairman. This committee
'is not a part of the Student Executive Cabinet committee
set-up.
tion e v e ry
The chairman of the committee,
is selected in a general elec-spring.
Associate
members a re
appointed b y
t h e chairman
and m u s t be
approved b y
the cabinet before
they may
serve on the
committee.
According to
the undergrad-u
a t e constitution,
the committee
is com-p
o s e d of the
Jordan chairman a nd
as many associate members as
the chairman desires. This year,
the cabinet approved a roster of
six members submitted by Jordan.
Associate members are Tom
Cannon, Matt Wiggins, Betty
Jean Jordan, Tommy Griffin, Hal
Breedlove and Zeb Robinson.
The first functions of the year
sponsored by the Social Committee
were the t w o Homecoming
dances. The committee was'able
to pay off a long-standing debt to
the college with the profit from
these two events,. This debt had
been incurred when past committees
"went into the hole" on certain
dances.
With the clearing of this debt,
the Social Committee is in a better
financial position to secure
"name" bands to. play for non-organization
dances.
Aside from booking orchestras
to play for the dances, the committee
members sell tickets to the
events and make the other arrangements
necessary for the
staging of the dances.
This is the sixth in a series of
articles dealing with the Student
Government Association. Subsequent
articles will feature t he
various other committees and organizations
which take this important
part in campus life.

Dr. Zepp's address dealt with
"The Present Trend of Veterinary
Medical Education in The

items of interest about the
International Veterinary Congress
meeting h e l d in London
last year.
He pointed out that increase in
population without corresponding
increase in livestock is endangering
world economy. In
support of this, Dr. Zepp stated,
"Orte of the main factors in the
present economic turmoil in
Europe is the deplorable condition
of its livestock."
He recommended that Schools
of Veterinary Education turn
away from intensive technical
training and allow the student
to exercise natural ability and initiative.
He suggested that veterinary
schools raise their standards
of selecting * students for
training and at the same time encourage

A DU PONT PROCISS CONVERTS
FURFURAL INTO A CHEMICAL
FOR MAKING NYLON
One qf the fascinating things about
nylon is the unlikely sounding raw
materials that go into it. Popularly,
nylon is said to be made from
coal, air and water. This is because
originally, in developing its chemical
intermediates, chemists used benzene
(from coal), ammonia (from air
and water), and oxygen (from air).
But Du Pont is always looking for
new ways of doing things. After the
discovery of nylon in 1934, research
men immediately began looking for
alternative ways of making the two
main intermediates—adipic acid and
hexamethylenediamine. I n 1935,
when nylon was still in the laboratory
stage and three years before its
commercial debut, they started work
on the possibility of using furfural
in the process.
Furfural has been used in t he chemical
industry for 25 years, but it is
little known to t h e layman. A tan-colored
liquid with a faint bitter-almond
odor, i t is made from a wide
variety of agricultural by-products.
Among these are corncobs and hulls
of cottonseed, oats, rice—all available
in practically unlimited quantities
from America's farms.

14 Years of Research
and Development
I t seems a far cry from corncobs to
nylon, and i t was. The development
from the first small-scale laboratory
experiments to t h e present full-scale
plant cost 14 years of time and about
five million dollars. But i t enabled
chemists to produce large quantities
of adiponitrile, the compound from
which hexamethylenediamine is
made, by an economical process
which uses natural materials that
are in continuous supply.
I n the new process, furfural is converted
by a series of steps to 1,4-di-chlorobutane.
The next step explains
in part why D u Pont undertook the
project in the first place. As producers
of cyanides, they had sodium

The final product, hexamethylenediamine,
is then reacted with adipic

and the nylon flake, used by the
plastics industry.

Opportunities at Du Pont
in many scientific field*
This is an excellent example of the
interesting work in industrial organic
chemistry carried oh a t Du Pont. It
"required the technical knowledge and
skill of highly trained research and
development men, including organic
and physical chemists; chemical, mechanical,
civil and electrical engineers,
and others.
Only a large company with ample
resources in men and money could
afford to engage in research of such
magnitude. To the young college,
graduate, Du Pont offers the broadest
of opportunities in many scientific,
fields, along with the advantages of
working directly with a small group
of associates. '
Keynote of Du Pont personnel
policy is promotion from within on
a competitive merit basis. A conscientious
effort is made not only
to choose college-trained people of
promise, but to develop each individual
as rapidly as possible.

6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nov. 16, 194» TIDWELL HEAVES FOR FIRST SCORE
Bulldogs Tie Stunned Tigers 20-20
In SEC Clash; Team Idle Saturday
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
Six minutes of alert football netted the aroused Georgia
Bulldogs a 20-20 tie when it seemed certain the Tigers had
"clinched its victory with a 13 point lead. Stunned Auburn
"fans watched in amazement as the Bulldog did what the
,iTiger had done against Georgia Tech.
b;.. Tiger Strikes Early
<j. Two fumbles by Georgia half-
back Floyd Reid permitted t h e
ijPlainsmen to unleash their most
-potent opening offensive attack to
date and score two touchdowns.
-Two.passes—Tidwell to Russell
for 48 yards and Tidwell to Mc-
Gowen for eighteen gave the Tiger
. a thirteen point lead before the
.Sgame was four minutes old.
a; Thus Georgia's vaunted pass def
e n s e setup withered before the
SEC's leading pass offense team—
" - t he air-minded Plainsmen. Tidwell
ncompleted 6 of 11 for 175 yards
.awhile Tiger air sentinels intercepted
4 aerials and allowed but
-four completions of 16 Bulldog
^attempts. Dickie F l o u r n o y corralled
2 of the errant ovals and
pounced upon 2 of 4 Georgia fumbles
in playing his best game of
the season.
Defense Shines
Auburn's forward wall was well
on its way to playing its best game
as it held the Georgians to four
first downs in the first half. The
brilliant play of big Arnold Fagen
.sparked the spirited Tigers. Fagen
crashed t h r o u g h repeatedly to
jrush passers and stop ball carrier.?.
""A badly sprained elbow suffered
in the third quarter slowed but
didn't stop him. j
Tom Banks; Max Autrey, Frank
Hayes, John Adcock, and Capt.
Ralph Pyburn teamed, up to give
one of their finest defensive performances.
Pyburn played fifty
minutes of the regulation sixty—
somewhat of a feat in this day of
"platoon substitutions".
Two-Fisted Offense
In the first half it was Tidwell's
aerial accuracy that accounted for
all of Auburn's first downs. In the
second half it was the hard running
of Big Bill Waddail that
formed the Tiger threat. A 76
yard march led by Waddail's power
drives halted on the Georgia
4 but was soon revived with a
pass interception by Dwight Hitt.
Waddail then went over, from the
«ine for Auburn's third score.
Fumbles Hurt
Floyd Reid made amends for
his opening minute case of fum-blitis
when he crashed across the
Tiger goal on a 20-yard run in the
last two minutes of play. Billy
Mixon,_ the game's running star,
had preceded him by two minutes
with a six-yard payoff jaunt.'
Both scores were set up by r e coveries
of Auburn fumbles—just
as Georgia fumbles had set up
Tiger tallies in the exciting early
moments.
Definite Deadlock
N Not only was the score tied, but
total advancement of the ball by
each team amounted to 294 yards.
No clear-cut victory was-realized
by either eleven in the 53rd contest.
For Auburn, it was a bitter
pill to take after holding the lead
for three and three-quarter periods
to see the favored Georgians
gain a tie.
Auburn fans were given something
to cheer about in that
initial Tiger s u r g e ; but were
strangely silent for the first time
this year when the final whistle
sounded.
Second-guessers will long have
a topic for armchair quarterback-ing
in recalling the decision to try
for yardage on fourth down. Having
gambled and won on several
occasions, the Tiger was caught
this time as the Bulldogs took full
advantage of their break.
Tigers Idle Saturday
Having faced six rugged SEC
opponents on successive Saturdays,
the battle-worn Tigers .are
idle this,-week end. Thus Coach
Brown's hard-working c h a r g e s
will have two weeks to prepare
for their inter-conference scrap
with the Clemson Tigers in Mobile
on November 26.

SAE, Delta Sig, SPE Undefeated
In Inter-Fraternity Football Play

The battle for the inter-fraternity football championship,
now in its seventh week, shows defending champion Sigma

Traditional ODK-Hutsell Cake Race
Set For Dec. 7; Frosh Urged To Train
. By Dot Ward
One of the oldest traditions on the Auburn campus, the
Omicron Delta Kappa—Wilbur Hutsell Cake Race for freshmen,
will be held this year on December 7, it, was announced
recently by Lewis Johnson, publicity chairman of the event.
In making the announcement of the tentative plans for the
event, ' Johnson encourages all
freshmen "to start training now
for the annual event."
The Cake Race is a 2.7-mile
cross country race wnich must be
run by every freshman who is
physically able. Only those freshmen
who obtain medical excuses
from >the infirmary will be allowed
to stay out of the race.
One of the major changes in
the plans for this year Cake Race
will be the new starting point for
the race. Since Rat Field, the old
starting point, has been converted
into tennis courts, the route of the
1949 race will have to be changed.
The new course has not been selected
yet.
Hutsell's Idea
' Coach Wilbur Hutsell, Auburn's
track mentor, originated the> idea
of a Cake Race back in 1929. Because
of'the desire to deyelop
new talent for the varsity track
team, Coach Hutsell developed
the plan which has grown into one
of the oldest traditions on the Auburn
campus.
Omicron Delta Kappa, national
honor society, decided to sponsor
the event after the race in 1931
and has been the sponsor of the
affair since that time. ODK makes
the annual awards of 25 cakes for
the freshmen who finish as the
top 25 runners. Besides the cakes,
winners are also given merchandise
from local merchants, and the
frosh who finishes first receives a
kiss, from "Miss Auburn."
The fraternity who places the
first four of its men across the
finish line is also awarded a cup
and 100 points on the All-Sports
trophy, which is awarded to a
fraternity at the end of each year.
Whitey O v e r t o n , Auburn's
Olympic ace, is the record holder
for the Cake Race. Overton covered
the course in the very fast
time of 13 minutes and 46 seconds
in 1945 to establish the present
record.
Johnson urged all freshmen, "to
begin work now for the race, as
they must be in good physical
condition." He continued, "I hope
that the race this year will break
the record in number of entrants
finishing- the race". The present
record is 615, which was-established
by the frosh in 1942.
"By rounding into top-flight
physical condition, the 1949 freshman
class can easily top this
mark", Johnson concluded.
the University of Alabama. At
the inauguration of the classic
last season, SAE of Auburn edged
Sigma Chi of 'Bama, 8 to 7.
At Bullard Field l a s t week,
with unscheduled Delta Sigma
Phi looking on approvingly, SAE
and SPE registered unimpressive
victories over Theta Chi and Sigma
Pi respectively.
Inspired play by Theta Chi
kept SAE off-balance m o s t of
the game, but two Arthur Phil-lips-
to-Fred Johnson passes were
all the North Side Greeks needed
to wrap, up a 12 to 0 decision.
SPE Edges Sigma Pi
SPE had even a rougher time
in beating winless Sigma Pi.
Trailing 6 to 0 in the second quarter,
they turned loosed Bill Fleming,
who iced the game by passing
to Hoyt Wiggonton and Bill
Waine for two touchdowns' and
a 14 to 6 victory.
League IV- enters the final
three weeks of play with three
teams tied for first place. A Pi
Kappa Alpha victory over Alpha
Tau Omega enabled them to pull
into a tie with ATO and Pi Kappa
Phi. A pass from Jimmy Dow
to Frank Barrow was t h e . play
that gave PiKA the 6 to 0 victory
and a share in first place.
Pi Kappa Phi was not to be denied
its share of first place as
it toppled. Omega. .Tau Sigma, 13
to 0. Hank Moore and Fritz Gunn
were on the receiving end of Joe
Capell's touchdown passes.
Phi Delta Theta beat Sigma Pi,
9 to 6, Tuesday on a pass from
Clarence Sellers to Fred Folsom
plus a safety, but dropped a 1
to 0 sudden-death verdict to Kappa
Sigma Thursday.
Pikes Win
In the s e c o n d game of the
week for both teams, PiKA
dumped OTS, 15 to 0. A safety
plus passes from Dow to Charles
Henderson and Lew Baldwin
proved to be the margin.
Phi Kappa T a u showed Tau
Kappa Epsilon a powerful offense
in walloping them, 26 to 2. Bill
Forbus passed to Wally Wakefield,
Ed Silber, and Joe Cassidy
for three touchdowns while Al
Searcy scored a fourth touchdown
on a run-back of an intercepted
pass.
Red Holley paced Lambda Chi
Alpha to a 12 to 0 win over Sigma
Nu. Bill Baird and Bill Letch-worth
scored in handing the
Snakes their sixth loss.
Alpha Psi and Sigma Chi battled
to a 6 to 6 tie, but darkness
prevented a sudden-death decision.
The game will be played
at a later date.

Baby Tigers Meet 'Bama Frosh In Hare Stadium Saturday At
Game Marks First Grid Contest Between Rivals
On Auburn Campus; Baby Tiders Slight Favorite
By J. C. Sellers
When the Auburn freshman team tangles w i t h t h e strong
University of Alabama frosh in Cliff Hare Stadium Saturday
afternoon, it will mark the first grid b a t t l e between elevens
of the cross-state rivals on t h e A u b u r n campus. Kickoff time
in the second clash between the Baby Tigers and Tiders is
2 p.m.
In their first game last year, the
'Bama p 1 e b e s defeated Coach
Johnny Williamson's Cubs, 14-9,
in a thrilling contest. This year the
Capstoners will be favored.
Thus far this season the Eaby
Tiders have lost to Georgia in an
18-7 upset, and have defeated the
Georgia Tech frosh, 13-7. The
Tiger Cubs won a 14-7 victory
over G e o r g i a frosh, but were
humbled by the junior Rambling
Wrecks, 14-2, last Friday.
By comparison of scores of these
common foes, a toss-up game is
indicated. Using the G e o r g ia
game as a basis it is found that
Auburn should be an 18 point
favorite over the Tiders. On the
other hand, by comparing scores
with Georgia Tech, the 'Bama
eleven appears 18 points stronger
than Auburn.
Tiders Strong
The Capstoners have a formidable
line this year, coupled
with an all-star backfield led by
Clell Hobson, Bobby Marlowe, and
Billy Gilmer. Coach Joe Kilgore
ha^ a number of former all-state
and all-southern grid stars and
is expected to have his team at
full strength for the game with
Auburn.
After l a s t week's uninspired
showing against Tech, the Auburn
frosh £re being worked overtime
for the coming tilt. Coach Williamson
is undecided on his starting
line-up and stated that all positions
are still wide open for the
game this week.
The Tigers will depend upon
the running ability of such stars
as Don Blackerby, Fred Halbig,
Rigas Coptisas, and Bobby Jordan.
Don Phillips, Dudley Spence, and
Frank Hicks will carry the air attack
for the Tigers.
A near record crowd for an
Auburn frosh game of over 12,000
is expected to witness the game
Saturday. Students are reminded
by Coach Jeff Beard that tickets (.
must' be obtained at "the Field
House by Friday afternoon. Stu-defft
tickets will not be available
at the game.

Tiger Frosh, 14-2
The Auburn Baby Tigers fell
before a strong aggregation Qf
freshmen from Georgia Tech, 14-
2, Friday. The game, played before
8,000 fans, was the Rats initial
home stand.
Featuring a formidable and a
fast, balanced backfield, the
Tech team outshone the Auburn-ites
in nearly every department.
The Cubs fought gamely but did
not display the impressive brand
of ball they did in defeating the
Georgia frosh.
Tech's first tally came in the
second quarter on a series of funs
spiced with passes. The drive was
culminated when Halfback Harry
Wright -drove over from the
four-yard stripe. Fred Davis added
the extra point.
A few moments later Chappell
Rhino took a hand-off from
Quarterback J i m m y Brown
through tackle and zig-zagged 59
yards for the second Yellow
Jacket score. Davis again converted.
Auburn broke into the scoring
column in the third quarter,
when F,nd Charlie Bell of Lang-dale
caught Wright trying to
skirt left end and nailed him behind
the Tech goal for at safety.
Besides their powerful line, the
Junior Jackets displayed two
fast and shifty backs in Rhino
and Wright. These two speed
merchants should fit well in
Coach Bobby DoWs razzle-dazzle
system next year.
Auburn's offense was stymied
by Tech's hard-charging lirie. The
offense was lead by Fullback Don
Blagk^r^y, who, gained a net

THE AUBURN FRESHMAN FOOTBALL T EAM will meet Alabama's Baby Tide Saturday
at Cliff Hare Stadium. Kick-off is at 2 p.m. The Auburn Cubs this season have beaten Qeorgia,
14-7, and lots to Tech, 14-2. In the first game to be p l a y e d between the Auburn and 'Bama
frosh, Alabama took a 14-9 decision last year.
Tiger Harriers Drop
Contest To Tech;
Prep For SEC Meet
The A.P.I, cross-country team
suffered its second defeat of i the
'49 season when they were out-scored
by the trotters from Georgia
Tech, 27-30.
Auburn took the f i r s t two
places, but Tech proved tbo much
for the Auburnites. The Tigers
number two man, Tommy Steele,
ran an impressive race and crossed
the finish lirie with Whitey Over-'
ton to tie for first. The next three
men were Yellow Jackets, -however,

Independents Fight For League Titles;
Hellcats And New Dorm \ M Loop Play
By Ed Spencer
With only one full week of the independent touch football
season remaining the teams are still battling it but for league
leadership. The winner of each league will meet in a post
season g a m e to determine the independent championship
team.
Six scheduled games last week
were won by forfeit. From the
looks of the present standings the
Hellcats of League I will meet
the New Dorm of League II for
the championship medals. However,
with three days of play yet
remaining, the outcome is still in i
doubt.
League I
The Hellcats continued to set a
torrid pace in League I play. The
Hellcats remain undefeated and
last week they took a 1 to 0 forfeit
from the Barracks, and then
tumbled the Mountaineers 12. to 0
for their second victory of the
week. Smith was the big gun in
the defeat of the Barracks as he
scored both Hellcat touchdowns.
Three more games separate the
'Cats from league winners.
The Navy took advantage Of the
Brewers' failure to show up arid
was credited with a 1 to 0 forfeit
win. The Navy boys have
shown steady improvement as the
season progressed and are now
proving themselves hard to handle.
League 11
The hopes of the New Dorm for
league leadership suffered a severe
blow by virture of a 6 to 0
defeat handed them by the Kings.
The Kings, not impressed by the
record of the New Dorm, were
determined to end the New Dorm's
win streak.
Hard luck honors of the week
went to the Atmorons as they lost
both of their scheduled games.
The Boys showed in the win column
for the first time thi^ season
as they won a 1 to 0 forfeit from
the Atmorons.
In the exciting game with both
teams displaying plenty of scoring
punch, the Army rolled over the
Atmorons 19 to 13. Thompson,
Shaddeau, and Hazelrig supplied
the scoring power for the Army,
and' Lowery and Henderson provided
the touchdowns for the Atmorons.

Letters To The Editor
(Continued from page 4)
found that 24 inches of space
have been devoted to independent
football, while only 23, inches
have been given to fraternity
football. This is actually out
of proportion as there are only
7 independent teams in comparison
with 20 fraternity teams.
We are not pleased with our
coverage of intramural sports,
but a shortage of space on the
sports page has caused the lack
of complete coverage of intramural
grid play. It is also impossible
to have someone cover
every game, wih neccsitates the
use of the official score sheets.

Nevertheless, of the 10,000
Negroes who graduated from college
in 1948, 80 per cent were in

problem of providing adequate
educational facilities for Negroes
must be faced and solved by
