"Are you in favor of the establishment of a student-operated

This question was asked 20 students bv Plainsman report­ers
last week.

tails can be worked out so
it wouldn't be a financial burden '

on the college."
Angus Gaskin, junior from
Florala. "I favor the proposal for
a book exchange operated for and
by students. It would be a worth­while
project for one of the cam-
Van Williams, senior f r om
Greenville. "Other schools have it
—why can't we? The book stores
only deserve a fair, not outrage­ous-,
profits."
Robert Thompson, senior from
Gadsden. "The book stores are
making a killing with their, mon
pus service organizations or one y o n b o o k s T w o u l d w ekome
a student book exchange.
Hugh Spurlock, junior from
Birmingham. "I'm for it. It work­ed
at my high school and saved
students a lot of money. I think
it would save a student as much
as eight dollars a quarter."
Oliver Steele, graduate student
from Birmingham. "It might take
time to establish a student book
exchange, but it would be worth­while
because there is a definite
need for one."
D a v e Sanderson, sophomore
from Birmingham. "Due to the
high cost of living, the average
college student h a s a difficult
time making financial ends meet.
A n y change will be beneficial
over the present racket."
Russell B u r s o n, sophomore
from Selma. "I am in favor of a
student book exchange if it is
run in such a way as to benefit
the students; that is, if it will be
possible to buy and sell books
to greater advantage than at pre­sent."
Bobby H u g h e s , sophomore
from Madison. "Yes, I favor a
book exchange because I believe
that it would save me money in
buying books and give me more
for my old books." ,
of the classes.
Jim Watson, senior from" Bir­mingham.
"I think a student
book exchange would s e r v e a
two-fold purpose. Foremost, it
would save students money and
, second, the operation of the ex-f
change could be a good training
course in business management
for students."
Collins Gordon, senior from
Hope Hill. "I favor the establish­ment
of a student operated book
' exchange. If put into effect, the
enterprise would s a v e students
quite a large amount of money."
Betty Staughn, s o p h o m o re
from Andalusia. "A student—or
administration—sponsored book
exchange can and should be oper­ated-
on this campus. This would
be a great benefit to students and
would be very much appreciated
by those of us who are now
caught in the existing vicious cir­cle
of book exchange at Auburn.".
Dick Reed, sophomore f r om
Winston-Salem, N.C. "A student-sponsored
a n d student-operated
book exchange which could be
run on a non-profit basis, would
be a great aid to most students.
Of course, it m i g h t drive our
) book stores out of business."
Sarah Frances Reid, junior
from Cullman. "A student book
store could be very beneficial on
the Auburn campus. I believe if
it is operated in a manner- or
with the attitude of helping the
students as a whole by making
reasonable prices both in buying
and selling, there would be sev­eral
advantages. Many students
interested in working could prob­ably
be employed."
Charles Myers, sophomore from
Winston-Salem, N.C. "It can be
- done, and it will be done. I think
students on this campus h a ve
been 'gypped' about long enough.
Revolt is the only answer."
Betty Ann Browning, junior
from Birmingham. "The students
of Auburn have been taken ad-j
vantage of by the book stores of
I Auburn for a long time. A stu­dent
book store would not only
help the students individually
but would prove profitable to
• the school as well. The sooner the
better."
Felix Harris, senior from Bir­mingham.'
"Advantages to the
students are obvious. The book­stores
make sufficient profit on
new books and have no need to
charge exorbitant prices on used
books."
Jack White, junior from Foley.
"Excellent idea, I've seen it work
at Birmingham-Southern. I'm
sure glad Uncle Sam is paying for
my books under the present set­up
at Auburn."
Charles Mills, senior from Bir­mingham.
"Fine idea, especially
since the number of veteran stu­dents
is decreasing and more sec­ond-
hand books will be sold."

Junior Class Seeks Talent For Show,
Event To Raise Funds For Project
The junior class is searching for talent for a two-hour
variety and talent show that it will sponsor this quarter. The
class is sponsoring the show aft part of an intensive campaign
to raise funds for the class project, two entrance gates to
Auburn.
Produced and directed by Jim
Watson, the new show will pro­vide
an outlet for campus talent.
Singers, musicians, dancers, co­medians,
novelists and other en­tertainers
will be needed. Every
candidate for a part will be audi­tioned
in an effort to obtain the
best on the campus.
Any student who wants to
try for a part in the junior
class variety and talent show
should contact Jim Watson at
1141-W. A wide variety of en­tertainers
is needed for the
production. Auditions will be
closed in one week and the
cast announced.
"For many years, skit nights
and-talent shows have drawn the
largest crowds of all campus pro­ductions,"
stated Watson. "Many
colleges have annual talenfshows,
some of which have gained na­tional
recognition.
"We would like for every stu­dent
who likes to do this type of
work to try or a part. Of course,
it probably won't be possible to
use everybody who tries out, but
by a process of. careful screen­ing,
we hope to produce a show
that will give the students the
type of campus humor that they
like, mixed with variety skits and
excellent musical entertainment,"
explained Watson.
"There can be no estimate of
the potentialities of some of the
Auburn students who, at the
most, appear in skits at their
fraternity houses. Furthermore,
the amateurs of today may be to­morrow's
top-billed showmen.
"In addition to entertainers,"
concuded Watson, "script writers,
masters of ceremonies, publicity
planners, c o s t u m e designers,
scenery painters, c a r p e n t e r s ,
electricians, bookkeepers and
many others will be required."
The presentation will be given
in the Tiger theatre for the entire
afternoon and evening of one
day.
Many promotion stunts, includ­ing
parades, free prizes and radio
entertainment, are being planned
for the show. I

Auburn—Home Of Academic Freedom
. It is with a great deal of interest that
we have read recently of several schools
in America who require all faculty mem-mers
to sign a non-Communist oath. In
almost every incident where such a rule
is in effect there seems to be a great deal
of friction between the administration
and its faculty. Recently at the University
of California, 699 members of the faculty
of 700 voted in protest to the requirement.
All of the members were willing to sign *
pledges of allegiance to the state and nat­ional
government, but protested strongly
that the signing of such a document would
endanger the basic principle of academic
freedom. In other similar cases where
either the school administration or the
state legislature has attempted to thrust
such an "undemocratic" rule down profs
throats, unrest is clearly visible.
Here at Auburn we have been very
fortunate in having an administration
which has not required such outrageous
pledges from its faculty members. Our
administration exercises a healthy "hands
off" policy with relation to the free cir­culation
of ideas in the classroom. __ —
Many institutions which are support­ed
by state end federal funds are not as
fortunate as Auburn. Instead, in many of
the state schools, instructors must pick
their words with care lest some eager
"listener" take an innocent statement, re­peat
it Singly and out of- reason with the
nature of the discussion, and brand them
as "Reds." We should be very thankful
at Auburn that our instructors need have
no fear about stating their political be­liefs
and that they can openly discuss
with the student any subject which is
under examination.
We feel that Auburn is fortunate to
have an administration which does not
try to enforce academic censorship. Every
student should have the opportunity to
learn the principles and practices of all
political theories. Only by study and in­vestigation
can the student learn the full
meanings cf these theories. The teaching
of these beliefs does not mean advocacy
of these doctrines. Instead it enables the
student to realize the danger of a certain
doctrine and prepare him to combat the
theory with a pewerful weapon—the
weapon of true knowledge.
Because Auburn is free from academic
censorship as well as from the prejudices
of any political machine, our instructors
can speak freely and openly to their
students without fear. They do not have
to worry that a fact-twisting student will
go out of the classroom with tall tales of
red radicalism or rigid conservatism. We
feel that academic freedom for instruct­ors
is a fundamental need in all colleges.
We are happy that such freedom is seem­ingly
present on the Auburn campus.
On Fraternity Restricted Membership
The recent recommendation of the Nat­ional
Interfraternity Conference for the
elimination of restrictive membership
provisions in fraternity charters has
brought about widespread comment am­ong
collegiate newspapers. This new re­commendation
asked that * fraternities
"take such steps as they may elect" to
eliminate any provision they may have
against accepting members because of
race and creed. The resolution adopted
stated that membership in fraternities is
a question of individual responsibility of
the groups themselves. While reading
various editorial comment on the recom­mendation,
we found that many Southern
and Northern college editors have similiar
views upon the matter.
Typical of the comment found in the
Northern press were the following ex­cerpts
from the Vassar Miscellany News
which calls the new plan:
" . . . a major step towards the formation
of a campus society in which all students
may have the opportunity of working and
living together with mutually beneficial
results. The present resolution . . . will
probably be as efficacious and sincere as
any statement could be. You cannot legis­late
those intangibles for which the word
"fraternity" .should stand—brotherhood,
friendship, good fellowship and under­standing,
as you can legislate certain basic
rights: the right to vote, the right to live
decently, the right to compete for a job,
etc . . . You can provide the opportunity
for friendship to those who wish it, with­out
requesting them to sacrifice their con­nections
with a national organization.
"The decision had a wider significance
. . . it accentuates the realization that
something can be and should be done, not
only to eliminate prejudice and promote
tolerance, but to go further and accept all
men as equals in the fullest sense."
An editorial in the L.S.U. Daily Re­veille
gives a close parallel to this line of
thought. The Reveille, under an article
titled "Greeks Move For. Survival," said
that American fraternities at last had tak­en
"precedent-making steps to strengthen
some ,of the much-criticized weaknesses
among Greeks." The Reveille in comment­ing
on the IFC resolution said: ,
"Besides deploring the scholastic ayer-rge
and the drinking problem, the con-,
ference passed a resolution urging the
abolition of religious and racial bars to
membership. Actually the final decision on
admittance is left to the individual chap­ter
but at least the national group can now
meet censurers with a cleaner slate than
ever before.
"In doing this despite Southern opposi­tion,
the conference recognizes the fact
that to survive it must rid itself of evils
and adjust to popular concepts if only to
justify its own existence. In taking this
liberal measure, the organization indeed
acted with courage and with great fore­sight."
To many readers it may seem strange
that a paper from, the North and from
the South would present such a closeness
of thought on such a controversial issue.
However, we feel that it is merely another
definite sign of the growing movement
which is determinedly moving to find a
solution to America's difficult race prob­lem.
The resolution is only a positive state­ment
to recommend that those interested
chapters abolish restrictive membership
provisions.
However, at the same time the National
IFC is careful to note that membership in
fraternities is the "individual responsibil­ity
of the groups themselves." The national
group recognizes the rights of the indivi­dual
fraternities to select its own member­ship,
which is the only way fraternities
can function successfully. If a fraternity
is unanimously in favor of by-passing re­strictive
rules for membership we can see
no reason that such rules should not be
by-passed. We feel that the most satisfac­tory
answer to this controversial question
can be found in the reply of the University
of Mississippi chapter of a national frat­ernity
when it was petitioned by a north­ern
chapter on the question of admitting
a Negro to the northern chapter. The dig­nified
Mississippi Greeks replied by stat­ing
that they felt "it is the right of the
individual chapter to select its own mem­bership."
In reality, that statement sums
up the action taken by the National IFC.

Ad Libbing By Graham McTeer
Good publicity for this polytechnic institute (so named)
continues to appear in papers of the South even this long after
the December third coup de maitre over the U. of A. Naturally,
T. Tidwell has done no bad job with dazzling appearances in
post-season games. But there's one story .concerned with Au­burn
Spirit that has made a rath­er
impressive tour of Southern
Mcleer
sports writers' columns. , f •
E d Danforth
o.f the Atlanta
Journal started
the ball rolling
with an article
concerning i 1-
lustrations o f
said spirit. In
his column he
said:
"Here is just
o n e sample
that came in a
note from Gus
Coats that shows what can hap­pen:
'Much has been written
about that famous Auburn spirit.
That spirit reached a new high
on the defeat of Alabama. In cel­ebrating
this victory, a group of
Auburn students gathered at the
Bankhead Hotel in Birmingham
and placed a long distance call
to the home of English royalty,
Buckingham P a l a c e , London.
Connections were made through
New York and they asked, to talk
to Princess Elizabeth. •
"" 'The call was answered at
the royal palace, but the princess
was asleep and could not come
to the. telephone. T h e Auburn
.student requested that this mes­sage
be given to her in the morn­ing
when she arose: "Tell her
Auburn just beat h—- out of Ala­bama!"
' "
The caller was Ralph "String-bean"
Jennings, Class of 1943 and
former managing editor of The
Plainsman.' It was P r i n c e ss
Margaret Rose that he was try­ing
to contact, rather than Eliza­beth.
'Danforth described Auburn's
spirit rather well in his column,
too:
"Auburn has some ingredient
in its make-up entirely different
in composition from any other
college. It is a wholesome, native
spirit that is daring, unconven­tional,
irresponsible and irresisti­ble.
Auburn steamed up over a
bowl game would shake the rock-ribbed
South and the vibrations
would be felt as far north as Lab-ador
and as far South as Tierre
del Fuege."

NOTES AND COMMENT . . .
The traditional use of "Staff"
in listing instructors' names dur­ing
registration h a d humorous
results early this quarter. A
freshman addressed his math
teacher as "Professor Staff" be­fore
the undesirable custonT of
using the term could be explain­ed
to him.
University students were jubi­lant
over the announcement that
Hank Crisp would return to Ala­bama
as line coach this year. I'd
say they needed s o m e sort of
booster after last season.
Many friends have taken issue
with me about last week's state­ment
that half the century is not
over. WANTED—someone who
was around about 1950 years ago
to see if the beginning or end of
the first year marked 1 A.D.
Wonder when tne Tiger theatre
will run out of 32 cents tickets .
and print s o nv-e combining the
three cents tax into one admis­sion
card?
The Plainsman is proud to an­nounce
its staffs scholastic aver­age
for the f a l l quarter. Final
tabulations show t h a t editorial
staff members averaged 3.25 with
the ffnance-minded business staff
tallying 2.67. Does this qualify
us for any special considerations,
faculty members?
Entertainment is at a peak for
Auburn and vicinity with Kermit
Roosevelt, Rounseville a n d No-wak,
and the Cincinnati Sympho­ny
booked by the Lecture and
Concert Committee within the
next five weeks, Ray Anthony
scheduled for the IFC dance ear­ly
in February, and the junior
class' variety a n d talent show,
"Bustin' Loose," slated n e xt
month. And then there was
"Girls in Cellophane" at the Mar­tin
last week.
Generally Speaking By Bruce GreenhiB
With all this talk going around
about the establishment of a stu­dent-
operated b o o k exchange,
I'd like to get in my two col­umns'
worth.
Obviously, the curtailment of
outright rob'bery in the purchase
and resale of used textbooks by
the local b o o k exchanges is a
thing to be desired. The essential
difference between these b o ok
merchants a n d Jesse James is
that o 1 e Jesse
used his Colt to
rob his victims
and the b o ok
buyers use the
line, "I'm sorry
but that's the
best I can do."
In b o t h cases,
the p a r t y on
the short end
of the horn has
but one course
« Greenhill of action l e ft
open—that of minimizing his
losses.
Instead of just cussing the book
exchange, I'd like to propose a
method of beating them. It seems
to me that the best way to wreck
i a racket is to hit it w h e r e it
hurts the pocket book.
Why don't we quit saying that
we'ie being robbed and do some­thing
about it? There are num­erous
organizations on this cam­pus
which are dedicated to serv­ing
the interests of students.
Well, here is a chance for one of
them or one of the four classes
to make a little money while do­ing
students a great Service.
The organization or class would
naturally formulate its own plan
of action but here's a brief out­line
of a student book exchange
that has worked before.
After securing a place to set
up business, perhaps a tempora­ry
building or some such place,
the sponsor would announce it­self
open for the receival of used
books for sale. Students would
turn in their books and receive a
receipt for them. The books
would be priced at a fair amount
by the sponsors according to their
condition. \
At the beginning of each quar­ter
the exchange would sell the
books at the proportional price.
After a, two week period of sell­ing
books, the exchange would
begin paying off for books sold.
The exchange would return any
unsold books dr keep them for
sale the next quarter if storage
facilities were available. Students
whose books had been sold would
receive the full purchase price
less a 25 cent handling fee.
It's evident that through their
plan, students with books to sell
would receive upwards of 100 pet
cent more for their used bockks
than they are currently getting
from the scholastic Shylocks.
Of course there are points .that
would have to be ironed out but
it's well worth consideration if
students really desire to t a ke
some positive action toward lick­ing
the local moneychangers
without using the biblical whip.
" 'Twas the night before Christ*,
mas . . .", et cetera, on down to
the part about "out on the lawn
there arose such a clatter." The
clatter proved to be the singing of
•—or rather, the noise \nade by—
a group of. Christmas carolers,
composed of first grade neighbor­hood
children.
Most of the voices seemed to be
rendering a rather feeble version
of "Away in a Manger," but some
w e * attempting "Silent Night,"
and I think I heard even a few
bars of "Mule Train."
At last the wailings ceased.
"That was beautiful kiddies. Mer­ry
Christmas . . . and to all a good
night," I murmured hopefully,
closing the door.
"Just a minute, Buster. Ain't you
gonna invite us in for cocoa and
fruit cake?" said a rosy-cheeked
innocent, pulling the pin. from a
hand grenade. f
**You're only fooling, of course,"
I managed to chortle just before
the porte-cochere Was blown
away. "Er-won't you come in?" I
As if at a prearranged signal,
the herd of noisy children came
galloping into the house like a
herd of noisy children. Once with­in
the door, the group atomized.
Each child went into his own in­dividual
way, and each child did
his own individual damage.
One hardy little lad made clear
his intentions of walking on the
ceiling upside down, and then he
began to shinny up the Christmas
tree. He had almost reached his
destination when the trees swayed
in a courageous but futile effort
to remain upright, then toppled to
the floor in a final blaze of glory.
The little girl jumping on the
piano keys was soon joined by a
self-styled drummer, armed with
tw'o silver-plated soup spoons and
an easily-dented kettle, and by an­other
petite little miss who, loud­ly
proclaiming herself to be "Lily-ponds",
began to scream like a
banshee.
A brawny bevy of bronzed brats
made their way to the kitchen,
where they ran a few plays off
the "T", using the newly-cooked
"Christmas turkey as' a limp and
well-cooked football, and spread­ing
brown gravy stains liberally
throughout the house.
One curly-haired cherub an­nounced
that he was a grizzly bear
an J that he was going to grizzly
bear up everything and every­body
in the house. I didn't know
- exactly what this meant, but I
soon caught the idea. The ambiti­ous
little tyke began with the
living room furniture, and his
handiwork would have made any
grizzly bear hide his shaggy old
face in shame. When the job and
the furniture were* finished, he
seized my arm between his teeth.
I suppose I would have suffered
the same gory fate as the furni­ture,
had'another boy not decided
to become a bear hunter.
Most of the other children set
to work with fervor, opening
every package under the tree,
even to the jar of mustache wax
which we had ,just wrapped for
dear Aunt Phoebe.
When at last the merry little
group of revelers had devoured all
the food in the larder and had
made a shambles of the house,
each one politely came by to pay
his respects to, and to aim a final
kick at, his jovial host, who by
this time had collapsed under the
mangled sofa.

Letters To Jhe Editor
(Editors note: Readers arc reminded that the Chester­field
Tobacco Company is offering a carton of Chesterfield
cigarettes each week for the letter submitted to The Plains­man
that is judged best by the editorial staff. The letter of
this week's winner, Jean W. Cummins, appears below.)
Dear Editor:
I think the proposed alumni-faculty
building will be a sound
and worthwhile addition to the
Auburn campus. Thanks and a
debt Of appreciation are due the
Bradley Foundation for its large
contribution toward the erection
of the structure.
The faculty needs and deserves
a center for office space and a
place for recreation where they
can meet for social activities and
relaxation. Also, Auburn alumni
need and deserve a headquarters
b u i l d i n g . The alumni-faculty
building is to be designed to fit
both of these functions.
In addition the building is to be
designed t o provide dormitory
space for a portion of the faculty.
This will be perhaps the most im­portant
and worthwhile feature of
the building. Finding a decent
place to live at prices that can be
met is as difficult for the faculty
as it is for the students if not ev*i
more difficult.
The dormitories and other fea­tures
could conceivably play a
large role in attracting and hold­ing
competent faculty members on
the campus. If they did, that alone
would be of more value than the
proposed cost of the building.
I be'lieve the alumni-faculty
building will be a structure that
the Auburn faculty and student
body will view with pride. I hope
it will become a reality as soon as
possible. \
Yours truly,
Glenn Franklin
Dear Editor:
Jt was a generous gesture for
the Bradley foundation to give
Auburn $50,000 but why not put
it to a better use?
There are many more build­ings
on the campus needed more
than an alumni-faculty building.
For instance, when are the autho­rities
going to get around to build­ing
the architecture building that
has been planned so long and is
needed so badly? Auburn is rated
as having the best architecture
department in the South and one
of the best in the nation. A de­partment
with s u c h a rating
should not have to exist in an
overcrowded structure built be­fore
the turn of the century and
in dingy "temporary" buildings.
And shouldn't relatively decent
housing for the students be more
important than a lush recreation
center for the faculty? The ma­jority
of the boys on the campus
are forced to live in barracks
(which were s u p p o s e d to be
"temporary" five years ago) or'in
crowded boarding houses with ok
ten times as many as Seven people
in two rooms? It would be a dis­grace
to the school to let such
conditions exist while $300,000 is
being spent on such a foolish
project.. ...,., , ,
. These are just two of themany
buildings needed worse than' a
faculty-recreation center. Others
are a student union building, a
permanent auditorium, and de­cent
class buildings to replace the
"temporary" buildings that are
sore spots on the campus.
I believe the Bradley Founda­tion
is all wet in picking projects
to spend money for, and I believe
a large number of other students
on the campus agree' with me.
J. T. Pearson.

Dear Eel:
I have an uncle who is an Au­burn
graduate and is working with
. the Coca-Cola Bottling Company
in Egypt who wrote home right
after the Auburn-Alabama game
telling us how thrilled he was
when he heard that Auburn beat
'Bama. The most interesting part
of the letter, however, was when
he said "It is quite a sight to see
painted on the pyramids all over
Egypt, Auburn 14-Alabama 13."
Thought this might be of inter­est
to the students and let them
know just how far around the
world the ole Auburn spirit ex­tends.
Sincerely,
Jean W. Cummins
Dear Editor:
The establishment of a college
used textbook exchange, as sug­gested
in an editorial in l a st
week's Plainsman, seems to me
the most practical way to com­pete
with the blotterrlike activi­ties
of the present Auburn book­stores.
However, since the formation
of such a service to students is
not probable in the most immedi­ate
future, perhaps a bulletin
board on t h e campus could be
designated (temporarily, at least)
as a place for a student to post
the name of any book which he
wishes to buy or sell, together
with the name of the course in
which the book is used and his
ownsname and address. This stu­dent-
to-student exchange would
eliminate a middle man; books
could be sold for m o r e and
bought for less.
Such a system is used success­fully
in other colleges through­out
the country, and it has been
tried with success in Magnolia
Hall on this campus.
Sincerely,
L Kenneth Reed
At George Washington Univer­sity
there is a popular tradition
which might profitably be adop­ted
at Auburi* Each year a group
of instructors and administrative
officials produces a hilarious show
called the "Faculty Follies".
Pushing professional p r i de
aside, the instructors satirize va­rious
phases of college life includ­ing
the administration, other pro­fessors
and students. /
The faculty here could easily
put on a show like this. Art tea­chers
. c o u ld
work on the
props, the dra­in
a t i c staff
could direct the
p r o d u c t i on,
musicians could
compose a nd
p r o d u c e the
music and the
E n g l i s h
i n s t r u c t o r s
could write tha
skits.
As for material, the profs could
probably recall plenty of amus­ing
incidents from their own
classes, while there is certainly
enough talent among them to
provide actors.
The instructors could use the
cash proceeds to buy needed
equipment for the proposed facul­ty
house, or they could donate
the money to some worthy
charity.' At the same time, the
faculty members would derive a
wonderful opportunity to become
better acquainted, which is some­thing
that they need to do.
The students at George Wash­ington
greatly enjoy the "Faculty
Follies," packing the auditorium1'
to see the instructors sing, dance
and clown around. For all their
disregard for dignity, our pro­fessors
would gain rather than
lose respect in the eyes of their
students through an amusing
show.
* * *
Speaking of shows, the junior
class is sponsoring a variety and
talent show next month. Singers,
dancers, novelists and comedians,
as well as artist^ and prop men,
are needed for the production.
There are many students on the
campus who have a flair for en­tertaining.
This show will pro­vide
a badly needed outlet for
student talent.
Since a wide variety of enter­tainers
are needed, a large\ num­ber
of students will be required.
Anyone interested in the work­ing
in the show is urged to try
out for a part.

Lynn's Hook Shot
Moves API To Fore
One reason for the, early sea-s.
n successes of the Auburn bas­ketball
t e a m this year ..can be
traced to Bill Lynn, six foot, five
inch center from. Cullman, Ala.,
who captains t h e Plainsmen
quintet.
Lynn, a quiet black-haired
Navy veteran who carries' 195-
pounds on his towering frame,
has all the attributes of a good
cagester. He's a hard worker who
excels on defense and grabs off
more than his share of rebounds
—both defensive a n d offensive.
He is blessed with the ability to
shoot with either hand and pos­sesses
an offensive weapon that's
almost impossible to guard—the
dreaded "hook shot."
The setup or approach to the
hooker can employ any number
of variations, but fundamentally,
here's how the Cullman sharp­shooter
goes about his point-making.
As pivotman he stands
about five yards from the basket
facing downcourt. When a fast-moving
teammate feeds him the
ball he quickly fakes in one di­rection
and draws the ball up­w
a r d toward the basket in a
sweeping motion.
Statistics prove Lynn is usual-*-,
ly successful. His overall average
at field goal attempts shows he
has connected for 47 pier cent of
his shots. Good? It's a staggering
figure when such authorities as
Kentucky Coach Adolph Rupp
claim only 32 per cent is good
enough for a team to consistently
hit the win columns.
Now *j senior, Lynn is well on
his way to achieving high-scoring
honors for h i s second straight
year on the Auburn squad*. Prior
to enrolling at the "Loveliest
Village," he was high-point man/
and all-conference at Cullman's
St. Bernard College two seasons.

Wqnted: One Who Doubts—
This week's column should more appropriately be placed in the
want ad column of The Plainsman, Atlanta Journal, Birmingham
News, and papers~fhroughou£ the Uuited States. It should read:
Wanted: Anyone in the United Slates who doubts the qualifica­tions
of one Travis Tidwell, quarterback. Auburn, as a member of
1949 All-America football teams.
Now, it took us three years to get over the "experts' " All-Ameri­ca
oversight of 1946 when an Auburn freshman who did everything
but coach his team won first place offensive honors from the golden
boys of the year, but failed to make the dream team. Because he was
a freshman, and because Auburn didn't have a brilliant season, and
because this- and because that, Tidwell also failed to win a place on
the SEC" team. Seniors predominated.
Well, this year is still fresh in mind, and Tidwell's exploits
in making one of the greatest comebacks the game has ever seen
were recognized to the fullest in the Southeastern Conference where
he became the toast of Dixie. But still he was overlooked in the
national pickings.
There's a reason for it all right.' Namely, Auburn wasn't rated
a top power, and Tidwell had been practically out of action for two
years. There are many who were convinced even then that the
omission of Tidwell from the All-America ranks was a gross error
if individual ability and courage were the criteria.
Post-seasen, all-star classics loomed as the final, and "to many,
the supreme test of greatness i for college seniors: Tidwell amoifg
them. Auburn fans thrilled to his glorious exhibition as Tidwell
led a fine Southern squad'to a 27-13 victory over a rugged Northern
squad in. Montgomery's Blue-Gray game December 31. He proved
himself then to be a true champion among champions.
Nfixt was the Senior bowl game in Jacksonville, Tla., Saturday.
Pre-game write-ups rated the game as " . . . . the greatest collec­tion
of football talent ever assembled . . . a spectacular duel be­tween
two great All Americans, 'Choo Choo' Justice of North Caro­lina
and Doak Walker of SMU."
Post-game accounts were unamimous in their praise of the
Auburn sparkplug that led the South to a 22-13 win over Doak
Walker's "Yankees". It was Tidwell who led the South back to the
glory road when two touchdowns behind. It was Tidwell who hit
All America Art Weiner with eight passes. It was Tidwell who
threw two touchdown passes and it was the same Tidwell,who was
named, for the second straight week, "The outstanding player of the
day." •
And this honor recpgnized him as the best of a field of 14 col­lege
seniors who were named on one or more of the All-America
selections'. National recognition for this achievement is inevitable—.
he has proven himself beyond all doubt to rank with the best.
We'll lay odds that the faces of several All-America selectors
are as red as were those of a number of public opinion pollsters
who had the 1948 presidential election doped out months before­hand.
If proof was desired by those who doubted—this they have
now received in abundance. >
NEW TIGER CO-CAPTAIN AND CAPTAIN
Winter; Sports Underway—
The Auburn Sports calendar is full this week end as activities
get underway for the winter quarter. First off is the wrestling match'
at 7:30 Friday night in the sports arena. Coach "Swede" Umbach's
1949 SEAAU champs will meet Vanderbilt's Commodores in the
Tiger's initial match of the season. And if you've never seen a col­lege
wrestling match, there's a treat in store. This sport is rapidly
coming to the fore in winter programs throughout the country. .
• Coach Eugene Kruchoski's swimmers take to the Alumni Gym
pool Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in a duel meet with Georgia Tech's
1949 SEC champs. Tech brings another strong squad to Auburn to
face an improved Tiger team that has two victories to its credit this,
season in as many starts. .
Varsity basketball returns to the Plains as the Tigers of Coach
Joel Eaves meet the Florida 'Gators at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the .
Sports Arena. The PJainsmen have definitely established themselves
as candidates for SEC honors this season and the game should be
a good one. » ' N]
Freshman basketball makes its debut Saturday night after the
varsity tilt at 7:30. The frosh of Coach Johnny Williamson will play
host to the B. B. Comer High quintet as they seek their third win
of the season.
All in all, its to be a big week end for sports as Auburn teams
swing into action before homefolk for the first time in '50.

night, Halfback J i m McGowen

| Four Games Feature
Opening Night
Four games featured the open-
| ing of the 1950 fraternity basket­ball
play, Monday night. The
games were highlighted with un­usually
high scoring for the four
eight-minute periods employed for
all intramural games this season.
Alpha Psi topped the evening's
scoring, trouncing Pi Kappa Alpha,
40-31. Moree's 13 points paced the
winners with White's 9-point ef­fort
tops for the losing Pikes.
In a combined offensive and de­fensive
exhibition, Sigma Nu hum­bled
Kappa Sigma, 38-9. Four
field goals and two foul shots gave
the Snake's Rhed 10 points and
the game's h i g h scoring hon­ors
as Hudson's 5 points were
high for KS.
A surprising Sigma Chi five
dropped the usually strong Sigma
Alpha Epsilon quint, 28-19. Strong
was high for the Derby-holders,
sinking 11 points; DeVaughn led
the losers with five.
Kappa Alpha closed the eve­ning
with a 20-to-16 verdict over
Theta Chi. Dawson, Hawkins and
Gallagher netted four points each
for T.C., but K.A.'s Taylor was
the game's high scorer with sev­en
points.

Tiger Hoopsters Beat State, Southern; Meet Gators Saturday
Plainsmen Face Florida In Sports Arena
At 7:30 P.M. To Open 1950 Home Season
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
The high-riding Auburn Tiger quintet returns to the sports
arena at 7:30 p.m. Saturday for its first home stand of the 1950
hardwood season. Coach Eaves' Plainsmen will meet the
University of Florida Gators, who have won three and lost
three through January 9.
The Tigers will be seeking to
retain their top spot in SEC bas­ketball
ratings.
A last start for the 1950 phase
was had as the Tigers dropped
the Birmingham Southern Panth­ers,
70-48, in Eirmingham a nd
then journeyed to Starkeville,
Miss., to take a close one, 66-64,
from the Mississippi State Ma­roons.
Tuesday's encounter with
the .Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
in Atlanta was played too late
to make The Plainsman deadline
with the box score.
Second from Southern
Having downed t h e fighting
Panthers in the season's opener
December 1, 79-49, the Plainsmen
finally overcame a sluggish start
to win, 70-48, last Saturday.
The lead changed hands four
times in the first half with the
Tigers holding a 36-23 margin at
half time. The Panthers were but
a few points behind until the last
three minutes when the baskets
began to burn with Auburn goals

Thanks to assistant basketball
manager, Ralph Hill, the Plains­man
gets the scoop on last Sat­urday's
exciting overtime en­counter
with Mississippi State
which t h e Tigers finally took,
.66-64.
Auburn led at half time by a
28-24 count and held a command­ing
56-47 margin with 2 minutes,
15 seconds remaining. Dailey, of
State, having been' held to but
three points for 39 minutes, broke
loose and racked up three bas­kets
and a free throw. In the
waning seconds, Wood hit t h e
hoops with the tying tally.
In the overtime period, Dailey,
Bill Lynn
still hot, sank one to put State
ahead, 58-56. Bill Lynn then con­nected
tp tie t h e score again.
State took the offensive with a
two-pointer by Crestman and a
basket and two free throws by
Hargett to go ahead 64-58.
With a minute and a half" re­maining,
the Plainsmen took
charge. D a n Pridgen scored a
;field goal to cut the lead to four
points; Lynn sank one, then Roy
Brawner, shooting with charac­teristic
accuracy from the foul
line, narrowed the deficit to 1
point.

Wrestling Team Opens Against Vandy
In Sports Arena Friday At 7:30 P.M.
By Spud Wright
The inaugural bout of the 1950 campaign for Coach Arnold
Umbach's SEAAU championship wrestling team will get un­der
way Friday night at 7:30 in the sports arena. Opposition
for the Tigers will be the Vanderbilt Commodore grapplers
of Coach John R. Tuck. *
Coach Umbach's squad boasts
the services of five returning let-termen
and is counted a definite
favorite over the Vanderbilt squad
that has two lettermen on itsj-os-ter.
The Commodores will be out
for their first win of 1$ie season,
having lost by an 18-12 count to*
the University of Chattanooga.
The Tigers will be without the
| services of their heavyweight ace,
George Hill
ficient to ice the game, but in the
last second Pridgen was* fouled,
made good the toss, and left the
game for the books at 66-64.
Some interesting "firsts" were
! achieved by Coach Eaves' Tigers
in the encounter:
the first time any of the pre­sent
Tigers have participated in
a defeat of Mississippi State;
the first time Forward George
Hill has scored in double figures
in his college career;
the first time Auburn has won
a g a m e in their present dark
travelling uniforms, and the sec­ond
conference win on the road

Coach Umbach is optimistic as to
his squad's prospects this season,

match, he was quick to
reply,
"They're always rugged. They
have a well-balanced team and
can be counted on for a scrap all

Stiff Schedule Remains
Florida brings a potentially
strong quintet to the sports are­na
Saturday. The 'Gators have
played four SEC opponents. They
took a 63-45 win from Mississippi
State while losing, 50-69, to Tu-lane,
49-73 to LSU and 48-50 to
Alabama.
The Florida game will be the
last for the Tigers until January
21, when they will meet Vander­bilt
here to continue their SEC
play. To date the Commodores
have played but one SEC contest,
winning, 53-44, from Alabama.
Everybody talks about PLEASURE, but
only ONE cigarette has really done something about it.
That cigarette is PHILIP MORRIS!
Remember: less irritation means more pleasure,
And PHILIP MORRIS is the ONE cigarette proved
definitely less irritating, definitely milder,
than any other leading brand.
NO OTHER CIGARETTE
CAN MAKE THAT STATEMENT.
YOU'LL BE GLAD TOMORROW-YOU
SMOKED PHILIP MORRIS TODAY!
