Tigers Meet Bama
In Top SEC Game
Tiders Seek Revenge From Plainsmen;
Coach Burdette's Cagers Vastly Improved
By Stuart Stephenson, Jr.
The SEC spotlight shifts Saturday night to Tuscaloosa's
Foster Auditorium for the second Auburn-Alabama basketball
game of the 1949-50 season. Tip-off time is 7:30 p.m. with
a capacity crowd of 3,800 expected to witness the efforts of a
surging Crimson Tide quintet to avenge the 40-45 loss handed
it by Coach Joel Eaves' Tigers
in the Auburn Sports Arena on
December 21.
The Plainsmen journey to Tide
Town to face what is currently
the SEC's hottest hardwood outfit.'
Coach Floyd Burdette's de-fensive-
m i n d e d, ball-hogging
Capstoners removed themselves
from the awkward squad in a big
way last week as they romped
through Lousiana's high-ranking
cage representatives.
Rated on the short end of the
betting odds, the Tide turned the
tables with a 60-52 win o v er
L.S.U., followed by a 57-51 victory
over Tulane—an upset on
the level of Tennessee's win over
Kentucky.
Vanderbilt's C o m m o d o r e s,
holding down t h e number one
spot in SEC standings, suffered
their first SEC setback, 44-47,
Monday night as they ran into
the still-sizzling Tiders.
'Bama Improves
Having won seven while dropping
three to SEC opposition,
'Bama's quintet ranks third in
the standings—right above the
Plainsmen who have a hold on j
fourth place with a won-loss record
of 4-2.
Alabama got off to a slow start
in the all-college tournament in
Oklahoma City Dec. 27-29, but
has since shaken off its sluggishness
to become a serious contender.
Favored over the Tigers in
their initial encounter, the Tide
suffered the first defeat in history
from an Auburn basketball
five. The win, however, did much
to put Auburn in the fore as a
dark horse in the nip and tuck
SEC race.
Seven lettermen dot the 1949-
50 Alabama roster. Led by high-scoring
Dyson Hamner, a 5-9
senior guard, and Dick McKen-zie,
a 5-11 senior and guard, who
led the Tide's scorers last season,
the 'Bama quint has experienced
starters for every position
plus some t o p-notch reserve
strength.
Sophomores "Fien" Ivey, Jerry
Pannell, Bob Schneider and
Paul Riddle, and Juniors Billy
Dean, Nick Vrostros, and Pete
Mangina are capable of taking
up the pace at any point to give

NOTED BANDLEADER
Ray Anthony
Anthony To Play
For IFC Dances
Ray Anthony a n d his well
known orchestra will play for the
annual A u b u r h Interfraternity
Council dances on February 3 and
4. The IFC program this year will
include an informal dance Friday
night, Feb. 3, a concert Saturday
afternoon, Feb. 4, and a semi-formal
dance, Saturday night, Feb.
4.
Anothony, often called the diminutive
Cary Grant, has made a
very outstanding record as a
young bandleader. He has played
in many of the nations leading
cities and entertainment centers
during the past year.
One of the top features in the
band is new singer, Dick Noel,
whose strong baritone voice is said
to resembled that of the famous
Billy Eckstine and Herb Jeffries.
Other featured vocalist are Pat
Baldwin and Kenny Trimble, and
the "Skylines," a vocal quartet.
Tickets to the dance will not be
on sale to the public. However,
non-fraternity students who wish
to purchase tickets to the program
may do so through some
fraternity member.
Trustees Accept Low Interest Bid;
Building Bond Issue Is $400,000
The Auburn Board of Trustees last week accepted a low
bid of 2.4494 per cent interest on an issue of $400,000 of building
bonds.
Proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be used to help
finance construction of two new buildings on the campus, a
general education building and a
Auburn Debaters Tie
Alabama College Team
School of Architecture building.
The board described the bond
bid as "an extremely favorable"
one. Successful bid was presented
by Robinson-Humphrey Co., Atlanta,
Ga., in behalf of themselves
and two other firms, Blyth and
Co., New York City, and Equitable
Securities, Nashville, Tenn.
The board also contracted with
Jones and Hardy Construction Co.,
Montevallo, to build the education
building for $390,770.00. Bids on
the building were opened Wednesday
and the Montevallo concern
was low.
President Ralph B. Draughon
was authorized to take bids on
construction of the proposed architecture
building. Bids will be
opened here on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
Architectural drawings by Pearson,
Tittle and Narrows of Montgomery
were on exhibit at the
meeting. Architects for the education
building are Van Keuren, Davis
and Co., of Birmingham.
Miss Berta Dunn was voted
permanent secretary of the board,
and W. T. Ingram was named assistant
treasurer in the absence of
Miss Allie Glenn. Mr. Ingram will
hold the new position in addition
to his duties as business manager.

Prof. Joe Mahaffey, debate coach,
announced today. Arrangements

as individuals or other groups.
The proposition chosen this
year for debate is RESOLVED:
THAT AUBURN SHOULD RETURN

the winning fraternity and sorority
and a third cup will be
awarded to the independent team.
The fraternity and sorority cups
will remain in the possession of
the winner for one year. The cups

the organizations win them for
three straight years.
At the present time the fraternity

Alpha Tau Omegas who have
held it for two years. The sorority
cup was won by the Alpha Gamma
Deltas, and is now being held
by the Phi Mus.
All entries for the tournament

Faculty Members
To Organize Club;
Meeting Set Today
An organizational meeting for a
faculty club will be held in Duncan
Hall Auditorium today at 4
p.m. At this meeting faculty and
staff members will set up the organization
of the club and elect
temporary officers until a constitution
can be written.
The first meeting of the group
was held January 9, at which
time it was decided to organize
such a club on the campus. Dr. W.
R. Patrick was appointed chairman
of the faculty club committee
to investigate the possibilities
of such an organization.
Plans f o r an alumni-faculty
clubhouse will be presented at the
meeting, it was announced by Dr.
Patrick, but no official action on
the matter can take place until the
club is fully organized after this
week's meeting.
In preparing a report to the
faculty, the faculty committee
stressed the fact that the phenomenal
growth of Auburn in recent
years has made it difficult for
faculty members to become acquainted
with each other. The
committee stated that a faculty
club with a clubhouse providing
facilities for recreational and social
activities would promote a
wider acquaintance of the faculty.
After today's meeting, a building
committee will be appointed
to work with the Alumni Association
in planning an alumni-faculty
clubhouse.
All faculty and staff members
are urged by Dr. Patrick to attend
today's meeting.

French Classic,
Tartuffe', Is Next
Players Production
"Tartuffe", the next presentation
of the Auburn Piayers, is a
French classic by Moliere telling
the story of a hypocrite who lives
under the disguise of a very religious
person.
The hypocrite, Tartuffe, is a
completely selfish and vicious being
who succeeds in gaining pres-tiege,
power, and wealth under his
guise of religion. He is one of the
most celebrated villians in all
literature.
According to Director Telfair B.
Peet the play is being treated in
an abstract manner with the costumes
and setting representing no
particular period in history. All of
the costumes are being designed
by Mrs. Edward Marty and a
number of them are being made
by Mrs. Marty.
Professor Peet says that the
play should provide a good and
interesting showj Central staging
is being used with the audience
seated on all sides of the actors.
The cast is headed by Edith
Floyd and Bill Manley in the
leading roles of the husband and
his wife and E. B. Miles is cast in
the title role of Tartuffe. Dorothy
Dudley plays the important part
of the maid.

Auburn Review, Once A Mere Dream,
Is Now A Very Successful Reality
By J im J e n n i n gs
One year ago t h e A u b u r n Review was m e r e l y a hope and
and a d r e am of a c r e a t i v e w r i t i n g class a n d t h e y o u n g noyelist
t h a t was t h e i n s t r u c t o r . Today, through t h e facilities of t he
exchange department of t h e library, t h e publication is n o t
only a solid r e a l i t y but is known nationally and e v e n internationally.
, Clyde E. Cantrell, director of
Auburn libraries, stated recently
that the Review was receiving
recognition n a t i o n a l l y among
schools with similar publications.
He indicated that 50 copies of each
issue are exchanged with schools
over the nation from Maine to
California.
An article concerning the Review
was a feature in a recent issue
of the Vanderbilt alumni paper.
One exchange is being made
with a publication from Nigeria
* and others are being planned for
"the four corners of the globe".
The Auburn Review had its beginning
in the winter quarter of
1949 in the creative writing class
of Mrs. Virginia Sorensen, the
author of four successful novels.
The works of many of the members
of the class showed skill and
talent, and Mrs. Sorensen considered
them worthy of publication.
However, a literary magazine
was not being published on the
campus so there was no assured
outlet for the material.
Original Plans
The- class first made plans to
produce its own outlet for publication
through a mimeographed
collection of the best works of the
class for distribution in the English
department. The members of
the class soon abandoned this idea
and set the goal of having the
proposed publications recognized
as a standard campus publication
and having it printed in the school
printing plant.
School officials said the publication
must prove its worth before
it could be recognized and would
not approve the idea. This meant
that the Review could not be published
with financial aid from the
school.
The class did not want to give
up its plans and the members—
Tex Shewell, Esther Broner, Robert
Broner, Mac Farrior, Jim
Hearn, Charles Sauls and O. S.
Stroud — conceived the idea by
which the Review was to pay for
its own publication by sales of

subscriptions and i n d i v i d u a l
copies.
An Auburn Review club was
organized to guarantee the printing
costs if the sales failed to cover
the expenses. An editorial board
from the club was to judge and
select the contributions for publication.
Student Faculty Contribution
To increase the interest in, the
publication among students who
would read it and buy it, the class
decided to print contributions
from any members of the student
body and the faculty.
The class assumed the responsibilities
of the club until the club
was officially o r g a n i z e d . Tex
Shewell, Esther Broner, Jim Hearn
and Mrs. Sorensen made up the
editorial board and Jack Simms
was business manager. The young
publication made its first appearance
at the end of the quarter. It
was considered a financial success
since it paid for itself.
The first Auburn Review was a
small magazine but it contained a
wide variety of material — short
stories, poetry, t h r e e selected
freshman themes, a full-page illustration
of a scene from "The
Rime of the Ancient Mariner,"
and a number of smaller illustrations
for stories and poetry.
Thus, the Auburn Review had
its beginning. The following quarter
the Review Club was organized
and Jim Hearn elected president.
In addition to publishing the Review,
the club met weekly and
discussed and criticized constructively
contributions made . to the
publication.
The Review was published again
in the spring and fall of 1949. It
succeeded in paying for itself and
in attaining a high standard of literary
merit, bringing favorable
recognition from many sources.
As the Review enters its second
year of life with Boyd Hinton as
club president and Tex Shewell,
fiilly Rogers, Jim Hearn, Prof.
Ijjavid Malone and Prof. Herbert
Metz as the members of the editorial
board, it is faced with two
major problems.
The first, and more important, is
in attracting the interest and contributions
of a larger number of
students on the campus so it can
become an all-student publication
without contributions from the
faculty as the original plan proposed.
The second is to receive official
recognition as a school publication.
The members of the Auburn
Review Club are facing the future
with the same optimism and pioneering
spirit that characterized

At one time or another in the past few months everyone

out books concerning the sub
jects of the displays that are, by
planned coincidence, on shelves
nearby.
The present display is dedicated
to Mrs. Virginia Sorensen, a
successful novelist, who is now a
resident of Auburn. It shows the
progress of one of her novels from
the time it was merely a cast of
characters and a community
about which she intended to
write, through her chapter by
chapter outline, the original
manuscript, the manuscript sent
to the publisher, the galley
proofs of the books and finally
to the finished book. It also cpn-tains
first editions of all of Mrs.
Sorensen's novels, book reviews'
of her works, storys and articles:
First Display
The idea of the displays originated
in October when the
School of Education was commemorating
the 90th birthday of
the noted educator, John Dewey.
Boyce E. Suddath of the School
of Education asked the cooperation
of the library in publicizing
the event and helped Miss Betsy
Saunders select and arrange a
the foundation of the publication.
Their greatest desire, at present, is
to make the Auburn Review an
accepted and traditional student
publication on the Auburn campus.
life and
ments.
It was a success so on the 100th
anniversary of the death of Edgar
Allen Poe, Miss Saunders
and Miss Dotty Newman of the
art department marked the event
with a display about the author.
For Thanksgiving Miss Saunders
and two girl scouts teamed in
presenting a display planned
around the 100th Psalm.
By then the idea had become a
regular function of the library.
Notable displays since then have
been "The Messiah," with a number
of manuscripts loaned by Dr.
Hollace Arment of the music department,
the Christmas display,
a feature on square dancing
planned by J. G. Baker of the
library staff, and the current
presentation.
Faculty Interested
The displays have aroused the
interest and full co-operation of
several members of the faculty
in a number of departments. It
has been found that there is wide
spread interest aroused in the
subjects featured in each display
that has been presented. Books
on the subjects have had a noticeable
increase in circulation in
the library.
The next subject of the glass
cases will be a number of pictures
of aged members of the
Negro race taken and mounted
as a hobby by Prof. Charles Hix-on
of the engineering department.
A display is being planned
by Prof. William L. Miller and
Prof. Melvin L. Greenhut of the
economics department.
Malone Plans
Prof. David H. Malone is planning
a presentation to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of
the death of Balzac. The death of
Wordsworth and 100th anniversary
of Tennyson's "In Memor-ium"
and his being chosen poet
laureat of England will also be
soon brought to memory in the
small glass cases by the library
doors.
The originator of these features,
Miss Saunders, selects the
subjects and helps arrange them.
Miss Saunders, an employee of
the library, is an ex-citizen of
Texas who possesses an effervescent
personality and a wild- enthusiasm
for almost everything
in which she participates, especially
her displays. Don't hope
to check a book in the immediate
future when she is at the glass
cases with a number of other
people standing around her.

A Week Of Inspiration
"Your Design for Living"—that is what
Auburn students and faculty members
have been seeking the .past few days
through Religious Emphasis Week. With
some of the most outstanding speakers in
the nation here, a positive effort has been
made to awaken in us a religious fervor.
Few, if any, of us reach adulthood
without at some time or other being confronted
with situations too big for us to
handle. When we find ourselves in situations
like this, we turn to God for help,
comfort or guidance, knowing that through
His Divine wisdom we will receive aid.
On the other hand, when things are
going smoothly, we are prone to forget
God. We tend to forget to take a few moments
for meditation or for reading the
Bible. Instead, we go along our merry
way until trouble strikes.
Religious Emphasis Week aims, not at
a revival for one week, but at a permanent
revival of religious interest. By showing
us how to live a Christian life in today's
world, the speakers are helping us to avoid
the complexes, neuroses, prejudices, fears
and hates that ark so prevalent.
They know that life in companionship
with God becomes a well-planned life, a
life of well-being and well-doing, one of
self-sacrifice, but of a thousand-fold return
in the feeling that "things are right."
A man whose life is in tune with God
arises each morning with the feeling that
he has the strength to live another day
courageously.
Religious Emphasis Week gives students
an opportunity to renew their association
with God, to achieve peace of mind
through an active christian life. The
Plainsman urges you to take advantage of
this opportunity by attending the remaining
programs on the schedule today and
tomorrow.
Stumbling-Blocks To Southern Progress
Those two stumbling blocks to Southern
progress—an inadequate educational
system and the much publicized racial
problem—are again helping form a barrier
towards progress in the South. As to which
problem outranks the other is. a hotly debated
issue, but the fact remains that both
effect each other and will mutually retard
or advance the other.
Last year when the Southern governors
put into action their regional plan for
education it seemed that the South's problem
of low educational standards could be
raised. The critics of this plan agreed that
it could give the South educational institutions
which rank with other regions of
the country on the graduate and professional
levels.
This regional educational plan is
allowing fancied racial difficulties and
simple. Committees in each state obtain
places in state institutions for a certain
number of out-of-state students. These
students' home states pay the institution a
certain fee which it is to use for its own
betterment.
However, as the L.S.U. Daily Reveille
recently pointed out, another aspect of the
plan is very important. About half of the
students taking advantage of the year-old
Football Schedule A Treat
With the announcement of Auburn's
10 game schedule last week, Auburn students
were delighted to find that the Tigers
would perform in Cliff Hare Stadium
three times next fall. The most pleasant
surprise on the schedule was the decision
to play Tulane here on October 26. Besides
this traditional game with the Greenies,
Coach Earl Brown's Tigers will meet
Clemson and Southeastern Louisiana College
here.
It is very encouraging to find that the
Tigers are now able to return home to
play several games before local crowds.
With the enlargement of Hare Stadium
more top games can be expected to be
brought to the campus. The three games
here as well as other games on the Tigers
1950 schedule indicate that SEC schools
are taking their grid contests back to their
respective campuses. Auburn will play on
the home .grounds of Florida, Vanderbilt,
Georgia Tech, and Mississippi State.
The return of collegiate football to a
home-and-home basis appears to be a very
plan are Negroes. Yet there are no stipulations
regarding racial participation in--
the system and for this reason some objections
have arisen.
This appears to be another example of
problems intefering with a program from
which our entire region could benefit. If
the race question halts execution of the
governor's progressive planning, the South
will miss the boat that could take us to
better education as well as solutions to
racial problems.
The regional plan offers excellent instruction
to students of any line of study.
In doing so it allows the participating
schools to direct the energy and what
money they have into a single avenue,
rather than spreading it thinly over many
different educational fields.
Since few Southern schools can provide
adequate schooling for all professions
and fields, it will surely be a mistake to
let this realistic boost to education suffer
because of narrow-minded views on race.
Through such a plan the South can not
only solve its pressing problems in education,
but through extended education
might find solutions to various racial difficulties.
good indication that athletic departments
are at last trying to make football fulfill
its original purpose—that of serving the
students. Games on the campus will not
only enable the college to avoid the terrific
fees and taxes charged in large city
stadiums, but will go a longway in the establishment
of better spirit on the campus.
The Plainsman would also like to take
this opportunity to stop a rumor which
has been circulating about campus in regard
to the Homecoming game November
25. Many students felt that the Clemson
game was the week end of Thanksgiving
holidays. However, upon investigation we
found that Thanksgiving is on Thursday,
Nov. 31 which will mean that Thanksgiving
holidays will be from November 31
through December 3.
Congratulations to the athletic department
for bringing three games to the campus
in 1950. We feel that this move will
aid a great deal in helping to rebuild the
snarling Tiger.

of t h e
group suggests
a rousing chorus
of "John
Temple Graves
B e Damned,"
but this proposal
is hissed
down by several
of the more dignified attorneys
-to-be.
Another student speaks: "My
God, think of the prestige, tradition,
and honor that would be
lost if graduates of our incomparable
law school were required
to take state bar exams."
"Not to mention the possibility
of failing to pass," the y o u th
chirps up. This comment is met
with several long stares down
several long noses.
"That is not the point at all,"
continues Mr. Dignity, obviously
the leader of the group. "As the
C-W editorial s a i d , 'Alabama's
legislature has seen fit to honor
its state university graduates by
treating them specially, apart
from graduates of out-of-state
schools.' This privilege must be
maintained. That is our heritage."
Now, reader, if you're in the
dark as to the significance of this
conversation, make way for enlightenment.
As you probably know, lawyers
w h o desire to practice in this
state are legally required to pass
bar examinations; however, graduates
of the state university's law
school are exempted.
John Temple Graves says that
this is an injustice to Negro hopefuls,
originally from Alabama,
who have been sent by the state
to law schools not in the Jim
Crow section. Graves maintains
that since the state has a definite
need for colored lawyers to represent
their race, Alabama Negroes
should receive t h e same
privileges as U. of A. graduates.
On second thought, Graves decided
that the solution is to require
all candidates for state
practice, yea, even the Capstone's
fair-haired lads, to pass the bar
test.
Graves concludes by quoting
the dean of the University of Virginia
law school: "If my school
is what it o u g h t to be, they
should be able to pass the state
bar examinations; if it isn't, they
shouldn't be admitted to the bar.
I want to know."
This conclusion is obviously
sound in theory. But the C-W
holds that it doesn't apply to this
case. If the legislature should enact
legislation requiring exams
for Capstonians, it would be "a
breach of t r u s t . . . unfair to those
students presently enrolled," who
entered assuming that t h ey
would be exempt. f
Also, the C-W continues, it
would hurt future enrollment.
The publication frankly admits
that "Eastern schools do h a ve
magnetic qualities that attract
our better students," many of
whom are persuaded to attend
the state school only to avoid
standing the exam.
Well, that's the issue from both
points of view, and who are we,
attending /this cross-state polytechnic
institute, to s a y who's
right? At any rate, the bar exam
must be some more monster to
stir up such controversy.
M ore an dM ore by Gene Moore
Greenhill
Ole Zipp Newman, sports editor
of t h e Birmingham News,
mentioned Auburn in his column
the other day. Although some
Auburn students will be a little
dubious about the truth of that
statement, I offer t h e Jan. 21,
1950 issue of the News as proof
of my veracity.
I can't quite figure it out but
it looks like Zipp would like to
court a little favor here in the
LVOTP. No doubt, he has heard
t h a t he was
^^^. buried in effigy
at the pep rally
after the Bama
game and maybe
t h i s has
something t o
do with t h is
startling reversal
of policy. It
could be that
he feels l i ke
he'd better get
back in the Auburn
students' good graces just
in case the Tiger mauls his beloved
Pink Elephants again next
December.
Whatever it was, I'm glad Zipp
has decided to see it our way
just a --little bit, but I'd like to
gnaw on .one of his bones of contention.
Newman was covering the Jefferson
County Auburn Club party
for the graduating seniors on
the football squad, in general,
and the presentation of a huge
stuffed eagle to t h e school, in
particular. I thought he was rather
clever in saying that the eagle
had been killed while raiding a
farm of six sheep, two cows and
six hogs (an animal for each 14
points). However, another of his
comments seemed a' bit off base
to me.
He made t h e statement that
Auburn football teams had been
known by a number of names in
the past, among them Plainsmen
and Tigers, and then he said that
the present student body calls the
team the War Eagles. Since
when?
He went on to say that Auburn
itself has been referred to as the
War Eagle university. He also
brought up the question as to
whether a poll was in order to
see whether Auburn would like
to adopt the nickname of War
Eagles instead of the Tigers.
Now Zipp, aren't you stretching
things a bit too far? You said
that there was much War Eagling
going on that December afternoon
and then turn around and
imply that War Eagle is a nickname,
not a battlecry.
To us, War Eagle is a very
tangible thing. It is a battlecry
with a long and varied history.
We love the yell but I don't think
any great number of students
think of the cry as anything but
a great rallying call, certainly not
as a nickname anyway. The yell
War Eagle is a very important
part of any Auburn man's vocabulary
but we'll take Tigers as
the team's name any day.
Personally, I could say War
Eagle before I put on my first
pair of knickers and knew the
score of Auburn's games before
I could get past "threesies" playing
Jacks, and I have never
thought of the Auburn gridders
as anything but Tigers and sometimes
Plainsmen, nor have I
heard anyone else call the team
the War Eagles.
Granted that Tigers is a well-worn
nickname but there is only
one Auburn Tiger and that is the
name we want to be known as—
not the Tigers but the Auburn
Tigers.
I'd bring out a few more arguments
against the move (things
like expense etc.) if I thought it
was necessary, Zipp, but I don't
think Auburn students would
even consider this proposal.
I hope I m a k e things clear,
Zipp. Now you'll have to excuse
us Auburnites as we give a rousing
War Eagle for t h e Auburn
Tigers.
The Exchange Post »*-** sten^
Important Election Coming Up
Elections will be held early in April
for all publication offices, class offices,
and positions on the executive cabinet. It
behooves all prospective candidates 'to
study at the proper time.
These elections pick the campus leaders
for the following year, a thing that
shouldn't be done lightly. In recent elections
the vote has been light when compared
with the large enrollment. Poor officials
are always the product of a lazy indifferent
electorate.
Although it will probably never
replace Post Office, the great old
game of Stink Pink has made
much progress recently, on this
and other campuses.
Not as bad as it sounds, Stink
Pink is simply a guessing game,
in which one player tries to find
two rhyming words which meet
the description of the subject given
him by his opponent. The number
of syllables in each word is
given by another clue, when the
non-guesser tells the guesser that
his subject is a "stink pink" (one
syllable in each half of the subject);
or maybe it is a "stinky
pinky" (two syllables in each
part); or it might be a "stinkeroo
pinkeroo," or even a "stinkerma-roo
pinkermaroo."
This doesn't make much sense
so far, does it? Maybe a few examples
will straighten it out. Suppose
someone came up to you and
said, "Whoopee! Here's a stink
pink for you—." If you let him
finish, he would probably go on to
give you the description of the
subject: "It's a bedaubed growth
of hair on the chin." After a'
period of deepest concentration,
you should be able to conclude
that your friend was trying to get
you to answer "smeared beard."
Other examples of stink pinks
are "female a r b o r e a l rodent,"
which is of course "girl squirrel,"
and another easy one, a "large
hirsute adornment" — that is, a
"big wig."
To make it a little more difficult,
your friend might have hit
you with a stinky pinky or two.
Would you have guessed that
"pungent, perfumed smoke" is "intense
incense"? Or that a "prevaricating
strip of .cloth" is a "fibbin'
ribbon"? Or that an "erotic chief
executive" is the description of a
"sexy prexy"?
Then whip out your poetic license,
and come back at your antagonist
with "brightly plumaged
bird with plenty of hep." He'll be
sharp if he guesses "bebop peacock."
Another way to make it
rougher going for him is to go up
a notch, to the stinkeroo pinkeroo
class. If he realizes that the "sleeping
apparel belonging to my maternal
parent" is just another way
of saying "my mama's pajamas,"
you can pair up some more difficult
ones.
Offhand I can recall only one
example of a stinkermaroo pinkermaroo.
A "type of breeches"
comprises one half of this subject,
while "whisky closets" makes up
the other half. The answer, not so
obviously, is "knickerbockers liquor
lockers."
Here are some more samples,
but you'll have to make up your
own descriptions: healing ceiling,
urban turban, gnat hat, turtle girdle,
nigger digger, shocking stocking,
maroon typhoon, stencil pencil,
mirage garage, c u t e boot,
drunk skunk.
The beauty of the game lies in
the fact that the clues and subjects
may be made as easy or as
difficult as desired. For this reason,
you can play Stink Pink with
everybody from your little sister
to your English 441 instructor.
Stink Pink, while it may build
your vocabulary to a slight degree,
is a great waste of time, and it is
actually childish, I suppose. Still,
it's a lot of fun. Anybody know
another way to say the words—
this one's a stinkeroo pinkeroo—
"venerable hisp'idulous plant of
the genus Tageteus"?
Hostess: "I have a lonesome
bachelor I'd like you girls to
meet."
Athletic Girl: "What can he
do?"
Chorus Girl: "How much money
does he have?"
Society Girl: "Who is his family?"
Stenographer: "Where is he?"

As the Auburn Review begins
its second year of publication, a
few words of praise and encouragement
seem in order. The Auburn
Review club, which publishes
the book, will soon begin
selecting material for the fourth
quarterly edition of the magazine.
A publication like the Review
is something of
which the stu-4
d e n t b o dy
s h o u l d be
proud. It is in-d
e e d noteworthy
that a
school, avowedly
devoted to
the teaching of
technolo g i c a 1
sciences and
having no separate
school devoted
to journalism and writing,
produces a first-rate literary
magazine.
When the f i r s t issue of t h e '
magazine appeared, many people
were surprised at the high quality
of the material and at the wide
variety of students and faculty
members represented.
This seems to be a good time
to clear up a few points about
contributions. M a n y students
feel that the Review is largely a
faculty publication. While faculty
contributions are welcomed, the
publication is primarily for and
by students.
All manuscripts receive the
same consideration by the editorial
board, which is composed
of three students and two professors.
All articles submitted are
read and critized by the board 4
before the author's name is revealed.
Another widespread misconception
is that the Auburn Review
club is open only to majors
in English. While the club was
organized by an English class and
backed by the English department,
the club is open to all students
interested in creative writing.
For example, the spring quarter
issue contained material by
majors in sociology, science and
literature, business administration,
education a n d mechanical
engineering, as well as English.
As that issue of the magazine
stated, the Auburn Review "is
designed to give a medium for
the self-expression of those people
at Auburn who have creative
literary and artistic talent and
to allow other interested people
to read and enjoy the works of
their friends and associates at
Auburn."
Club officers urge students
who are interested in the club
or who have contributions to attend
the meetings on Thursday
nights at 7:30 in Samford 301 or
to see Prof. David H. Malone in
the English department.
Letter To The Editor
As an incentive to promote interest in campus, state and
national affairs, The Plainsman is offering a carton of Chesterfield
cigarettes to the writer of the "best lctter-of-the-week."
The Chesterfields are given compliments of Gordon
Howell, campus Chesterfield representative.
Dear Ed,
While we're trying to save the
students money by setting up a
book exchange to protect them
from the bloodsucking tactics of
the local bookstores, why don't we
also do something about the robbery
by other students. I refer, of
course, to the Ring Committee
set-up.
At the present, the only way to
get a ring is from one of the committee
by greasing his palm to the
tune of about six dollars. This is
his "cut" for what amounts to
about 15 minutes work. Of course,
he has to kickback to his superior.
It is agreed that anyone is entitled
to a fair wage for service
rendered, but the present rate is,
to my way of thinking, all out of
proportion to the amount of effort
involved. Even John L. Lewis
doesn't demand as much for his
gold diggers.
This question has been brought
up many times before, but so far
nothing constructive h a s been
done. Since, however, some of the
other projects have been receiving
attention we may as well clean
house.
Sincerely,
Gerald Hester.
P.S.—If nothing can be done,
how could I get on the Ring Committee?
Time Of Reckoning
Is Here Once More
. . . Says Daily Reveille
Once again, like the recurring
plague, spring and birthdays that
one would like to forget, the time
of reckoning is once more with
us. And with it comes pause for
evaluation and re-setting of personal
educational sights.
This is installment no. 2 in the».
survey each student should make
at certain milestones in his college
year—what he intended to accomplish,
how had he fared by
mid-semester and now, what his
accomplishments actually amount
to. It's a duty, this evaluation
which each students owes himself;
if he overlooks the moment
of measurement he is decreasing
the worth of his education.
College education is not a thing
to be acquired aimlessly; the college
student should not expect to
stretch out on the sandy beach of
college life and let the waves of
education roll gently over him,
leaving little drops of knowledge
that dry up with the sun of time.
To be effective and lasting, a
college education should be planned
with care, the pattern directed
toward achieving the ultimate of
whatever the institution has to offer,
directed toward wringing from «
that offering every drop of benefit
to one self and his design for
a future life.
College education is more than
a mere choosing of a major and
the following of a standard curriculum
chosen by someone else.
It also includes integrating all the
social, religious, recreational and
academic phases of student life
into a scheme that can contribute
toward formation of a balanced
later life. Any tipping of the scales
to cause a dis-balance now might
well result in an uneven, dissatisfying,
and incomplete education.
But the plan, once made, cannot
be neatly wrapped in a cellophane
package and relegated to
the top shelf of the mental closet.
It must constantly be referred to
and constantly adhered to.

Poetic Parodistic Proclamations
Of '14-13' Swamp Plainsman Office
By Tom Duke
Auburn's 14-13 victory over the
University of Alabama December
3 has had far-reaching effects;
the results are still being proclaimed
through word of mouth,
letters, speeches, and the latest
fad, poetry.
Never before has any one event
inspired so many amateur writers
to wax, poetical. Rhyming parodies
have swamped The Plainsman
office for weeks, with explanatory
notes proclaiming their
pertinence.
One of the first compositions to
be received was the following,
submitted anonymously:
"Into Birmingham rolled the
mighty Crimson Tide
At Legion Field the Tide tried,
cried, died.
Back to Tuscaloosa trickled the
thin, red stream,/
Moaning and groaning — but
they can still dream.
No bowl for once mighty 'Baraa
in Forty-Nine—
Just aches and pains for that
thin red line,
But all is not lost—just look at
the roll—
Salem was invited to play in
the Suitcase Bowl.
'Basketball's our game;' howled
the boys from Tuscaloosa,

But they don't even play that
like they used to.
They challenged Auburn—tried
to be naughty—
And they got spanked forty-five
to forty.
There is much activity now at
the University
Give them credit in their time
of ad\ersity
They're puffing and heaving,
hard as they're able
To win first place on the ping
pong table."
The meter of the famous old
Christmas poem, "The Night Before
Christmas," was d e e m ed
worthy of parodizing by two fans,
who more or less used it as a basis
of composition.
T. M. "Mouse" Pruitt, Camp
Hill, class of 1934, named his
work "Midnight in Birmingham,"
or "Ripple, Tide, Ripple! Drip,
Drip, Drip!" It is dedicated to
Coach Earl Brown and "all dem
Tigers."
'"Twas the night after the ball
game,
And all through the town,
Not a single 'Bama fan
Could be heard—or be found.
The streets were all crowded
With boys from the Plain,
And the shriek 'War Eagle'
Echoed again and again,
I asked a friendly cop
Where the Tide could be found;
He said he supposed
They had rolled out of town.
I was a little uneasy
With so many Tigers around,
So decided to stroll
To the suburbs of town.
. From alley and side street,
From by-way and lane,
Some walking, some riding,
some thumbing in vain.
With shoulders all humped, and
no look around,
The mighty '56 Club' was fast
leaving town."
The final bit of poetry received
by this office is the work' of Student
Bob Gene McBride, Talladega,
who presented it for the
benefit of University students at
home over the holidays.
'"Twas the night before the
game, and all thru the school
Everybody was shouting and«
acting a fool.
The prophets had predicted (as
most prophets do)
That Bama would win by a
touchdown or two.
And Bama was so sure that the
prophets were right
That visions of "56" danced in
their sight.

call
the big brawl;
When out on the field there
arose such a clatter.
I sprang to my feet to see what
was the matter.
The sun on the field below did
shine,
Giving a spirit of defiance to
the great Auburn line.
When what to my wondering
eyes should appear,
A fine Auburn backfield, worthy
of cheer.
With a-lively old quarterback,
that looked so well
. That I knew in a moment that
it must be Tidwell.
More rapid t h a n eagles, his
teammates they came,
And he whistled and shouted
and called them by name,
'Now Langner! Now Pyburn!
Now Wallis! Now Bauer!
On Tucker! On Autrey! For this
is the hour! *
To the end of the field, to the
top of the wall,
Now dash away, dash away,
dash away all'
As dry leaves that before the
wild hurricane fly,
When they met with an obstacle,
mount to the sky,
So up to the goal line the back-field
they flew,
With, Tucker and Langner, and
Tidwell too.
And then, in a twinkling, I
looked at the score,
'Twas 14 to 13, no less, and no
mose.
*
As I\bit my nails and looked to
the sky
There in the blue heavens, an
eagle did fly.
He was dressed all in feathers
from his head to his toes,
And from whence he came
there's no one who knows.
His eyes, how they twinkled!
and his face did shine;
His wings were so powerful, he
could stop on a dime.
He held an elephant tight in his
teeth,
And dropped it on the field
like a funeral wreath.
And then it was time for Salem
to try
For the point which could end
the game in a tie.
As I crossed my fingers, I looked
to the sky
And saw the Old Eagle with a
twinkle in his eye.
A wink of his eye and a twist
of his head
Soon gave me to know I had
. nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went
straight to his work,
And caught the ball, then turned
with a jerk
And threw it hard, and far, and
wide.
And then it was that 'Bama
cried.
The Eagle turned, to his team
gave a whistle,
Then away he flew like the
down of a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, ere
he flew out of sight,
War Eagle to all, and to all a
Good Night!"
The Tiger grapplers m e et
Georgia Tech's groaners Friday
night in Auburn in the first match
since they defeated Emory in a
one-sided mat struggle. Since
wrestling is still a comparatively
new sport in this area, Tiger fans
may want to brush up> on the
rules followed by the matmen.
College wrestling is probably
more unlike its professional
counterpart than any other sport
on the campus. A college'wrestling
champion usually depends
more upon his skill and speed
than upon his strength and beef
to win his matches.
The meet consists of matches
between wrestlers of eight different
w e i g h t classifications.
They are the 121, 128, 136, 145,
155, 165, 175-pound and heavyweight
divisions.
Team Points
Team points are awarded to
the winners of each match and
the team gaining the most points
wins the meet. The end and object
of the match is to pin an
opponent's shoulders to the mat
and hold them there for two
seconds.
If neither opponent is pinned,
each match, divided into three
three-minute periods, lasts for
nine minutes.
Both wrestlers are in a standing
position at. the start of the
first period. At the referee's signal,
they wrestle. If neither is
pinned, one receives a starting
advantage in the second period.
A coin is flipped to decide who
gets the advantage with the visiting
man calling the coin.
Various Positions
One wrestler assumes a forward-
kneeling position with both
hands flat on the mat. The advantage
man may kneel on either
side of him. If he kneels on the
left side, he places his left hand
on the left arm of his opponent
and his right arm around his opponents
waist.
If neither man is pinned in the
second period the advantage is
given to the other wrestler and
the men start from opposite positions.
Five team points are awarded
for pinning both shoulders of
one's opponent to the mat. This
pinning is referred to as a fall. If
neither man is pinned the match
is decided by an individual point
system. A decision is given to the
man having the most individual
points and his team is awarded
three team points.
Team points can be distinguished
from individual points in
that they decide the outcome of
the meet while individual points
decide the outcome of the individual
match. '
Individual Points
Individual points are given under
six conditions during a match
without causing the match to
stop. .
Two points are awarded for a
take down. This occurs when one
wrestler takes his opponent to
the mat and maintains control
over him without actually pinning
him.
A reversal is worth two points.
As the term implies, this is a reversal
of position from disadvantage
to advantage.
Two points are also awarded
for a near falV This happens
when a wrestler pins one of his
opponents shoulders and holds
the other one within two inches
of the mat for two seconds.
As many as .two points may be
given for a time advantage. For
each minute's advantage a wrestler
holds over his opponent one
point is awarded subject to a
two-point maximum.
One point is given for an escape.
An escape occurs when a
wrestler escapes from within the
power of his adversary and returns
to a neutral position.
A number of points at the discretion
of the referee may be
awarded to a man if his opponent
uses an illegal hold or grip.

The Auburn wrestling team
will be after its third win of the
season when it meets the invading
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

best teams in the southeast, holds
victories over Vanderbilt and
Chattanooga.
John "Tito" Brnilovich is expected
to return to the line-up
this week in the heavyweight
class. Brnilovich was the SEAAU
191-pound • champion last year,
but he has been out of action
so far this season because of injuries.
The Tigers traveled to Atlanta

easy 34 to 0 win from Emory
University. The Plainsmen took
every match, winning five by
pins and three by decisions.
Dan Mantrone, representing
Auburn in he 175-pound match,
won his third victory of the season
by pinning Emory's Lam-mers
in 2:01 minutes. Mantrone

LEADING AUBURN WRESTLERS
Think First—Play More
Play has commenced in earnest on the new tennis courts below
Drake Field. It's mighty good to see the* long dearth of tennis facilities
remedied. Now, the courts are intended first, last, and always
for Auburn students to enjoy, and when finishing touches are put
upon the courts near the New Men's Dorm, 16 courts will be available
with three more reserved for the varsity netmen.
But in their eagerness to enjoy the benefits of a $40,000 addition to
Auburn's athletic plant, students have abused their privilege to an
alarming degree in the short time that the courts have been open.
Contract specifications called for a period of non-use prior to
final inspections before the courts were to be declared playable. During
this time the gates were locked. However, racket-wielding students
paid but scant attention to the locked portals—fence-climbing
became a fashionable art. The only posted regulations to date are
signs requesting players to wear rubber-soled tennis shoes. Regular
street shoes, and even court-butchering G.I. shoes, have been seen
scuffing the expensive composition surface.
Some few of the more ardent have virtually claimed squatters'
rights as they monopolize the courts while others are forced to wait.
A little courtesy and consideration here could work wonders.
According to Coach Arnold Umbach, head of the Physical Education
Department, under whose jurisdiction the new courts fall, no
plans for iron-clad regulations have been formulated—the wearing
of proper shoes being deemed sufficient.
Now there is no reason for the student's not cooperating in this
matter to insure a continuation of the present lenient policy in addition
to enabling more persons to enjoy the facilities intended for
all.
All .courts will again be locked in the near future, on the occasion
of warm weather, in order that necessary "settling" may be
accomplished. Students are urged to comply with the "no admittance"
indication of locked gates. They are your tennis courts—lake
care of them!

"Always a Welcome"
The 1949 Auburn football squad last Thursday journeyed to
Birmingham as honor guests of the Birmingham Auburn Alumni
Club and was rewarded more handsomely than was anticipated.
From genial Jimmy Coleman, Auburn Sports Publicity Director, we
have an account of the Annual Dinner:
"Now on display downstairs in the Field House is the '14-13
War Eagle,' a real golden eagle which once soared majestically, no
doubt, over the snow-capped Rockies of our own Western States—
but is now perched as a well-deserved victory symbol of Auburn's
great and stunning 1949 defeat of Alabama.
The bird, thanks to the art of taxidermy, is stuffed and mounted
and was presented to the athletic association last Thursday evening
as a gift of the Jefferson County Auburn Club in Birmingham.
George Mattison, Sr., a devout Tiger follower and former prexy of
the Jefferson alumni group, made the presentation. Athletic Director
Wilbur Hutsell graciously accepted in behalf of the institution.
Mr. Newt Smith, a member of the Auburn class of 1898, is credited
with locating the eagle. It has a wingspread of six feet, six inches.
Honor guests at the meeting were 17 graduating seniors connected
with the Auburn team. All of them were presented handsome wrist
watches by Tom Hobart, new president of the Jefferson County Auburn
Club.
N^ow wearing the new timepieces are Ralph Pyburn, Coker Bar-tbj^
jpfohn Adctfck, Max Autrey, Bill McGuire, Jocko Norton, Erskine
Russell, BirT"Waddail, Chester Cline, Arnold Fagen, Frank Hayes;
Ray Moore, Frank Jones, Travis Tidwell, John Brnilovich, Calvin
Emmert, and senior manager Spud Wright.
Master of ceremonies was Al
ly, 8 to 5. Biggio, outgoing president, and
175 pounds: Dan Mantrone
(Auburn) pinned Lammers in
2:01 minutes.
Heavyweight: Jimmy Bottoms

main speakers were Dr. Ralph

Hutsell, and Head Football
Coach Earl Brown.
The some 600 happy Auburn
grads attending in the spacious
ballroom of the Thomas Jefferson
Hotel applauded loudly when a
telegram was read which came
from Fred Ferguson, president of
the Jefferson County Alabama
Alumni Association. It said; 'Congratulations
on your well-earned
victory dinner. May the present
cordial relations between the
alumni associations of our two
institutions continue throughout
the years'."
And you can leave it to "Spud"
to come up with a humorous ending
to the evening's activity.
Coach Brown commissioned Spud
as escort for the eagle, which,
incidentally, is" quite a job due to
the size of the bird, and Spud
proceeded to carry out his duties
by the most expedient means—
carrying the thing over his head.
Through the crowded lobby
and out into t h e street strode
Spud. A strong g u s t of wind
swooped down and Spud had a
brief vision of an air trip back
to Auburn as the Eagle's wings
tried to perform their intended
duties. But he made it—safe and
sound, with no feathers lost—and
the eagle has come to roost where
it.belongs—in Auburn.
Frats Battle For Intramural Honors
As Teams Enter Third Week Play
By Bill McArdle
Fraternity basketball moved into its third week and looked
back on the past week as the most eventful. Last season's
champ, Phi Delta Theta fell to a better than average Sigma
Chi five while Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa Tau, Kappa
Alpha and Alpha Psi took the favorites roles in the fight for
play-off berths Ipter this quarter.
Happenings in games of last
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
were as follows:
SP-AP
Alpha Psi looks like the team
to beat. Bill Zigler in sinking 17
Points led the Vets to a humiliating
37-7 triumph over hapless
Sigma Pi.
PDT-SC
Last year's champ, Phi Delta
Theta, still looks good, but they
happen to be in the campus'
toughest league. ISigma Chi eagerly
proved this with their ace
guard, Van Cleave, sparking them
to a 19-15 win.
OTS-SN
Sigma Nu established themselves
as threat in vanquishing a
strong Omega Tau Sigma five.
Ray Vandiver with 7 points was
the Snake spark in the 25-22 victory.
of Lambda Chi Alpha. James
Taylor of Kappa Alpha with 16
points far surpassed any other
individual performance.
AP-SPE
Previously unbeaten S i g ma
Phi Epsilon had its apple cart
upset but good. Alpha Psi with
Morees' 10 points showing the
way dumped the Sig Ep's, 29-12,
to remain unbeaten.
DSP-KA
Jimmy Taylor of Kappa Alpha
continued on his wild scoring
spree, racking up 19 points to
give his team its second victory
of the week, 44-35. Bobby Srofe
was the Delta Sig bright spot,
with 13 points.
PKT-SN
The Snakes scored 8 points in
the last two minutes, but it fell
two points short giving the Phi
Tau's a 26-24 nod. George Mize of
Sigma Nu and Frank Myer of
Phi Kappa Tau tied for top scoring
honors, both netting 8 points.
LCA-TC
Theta Chi continues to improve,
largely as a result of Joe
Gallager's 16 points. Bill Taber
of Lambda Chi Alpha sunk 8
points, but it was Theta Chi all
the way. Final score 37-22.
PKA-SP
Pi Kappa Alpha contributed
one of the week's routs in outclassing
Sigma Pi, 36-10. Bill Mc-
Cord was the games high man
with 14 markers.
OTS-KS
Kappa Sigma took it on the
chin once again. Bayliss Biles led
the Omega Tau Sigma attack
with 12 points as his vets moved

With 155 Points

the Crimsons strength all the
way.
In ten SEC games the Tide has
amassed 529 points to 455 for the
opposition.
Vandy Sets Pace
Billy Joe Adcock, p l u s four
other rangy cage artists, gave
Tiger followers a glimpse of what
it takes to hold the No. 1 spot in
the Southeast as they dumped
the Plainsmen 58-47 last Saturday
in the Sports Arena.
The Commodores exhibited a
smooth floor game plus an accurate
basket eye in handing Joel
Eaves' Tigers their second defeat
of the season. Vandy racked
up eight points in short order to
lead the Plainsmen 8-1 after
three minutes, and then went on
to sink 13 of 14 field goals in piling
up a 30-18 lead at half time.
Adcock proved his mettle as
one of the best hardwood artists
seen in the sports arena with his
outstanding ball handling a nd
team play. However, Auburn's
captain. Bill Lynn, out-pointed
him 18-16 to t a k e individual
scoring honors for the night.
Don Lanford's fine defensive
play while assigned to the Vandy
star limited Adcock to five points
in the second half.
Commodore height was a big
factor, but the Vandy pass defense
was even more so as several
Auburn passes were intercepted
by the alert Nashvillians who
converted the corralled spheres
into easy crip shots.

Tiger Frosh Win
3 More Games;
Meet rBama Next
By J. C. Sellers
The Baby Tigers basketball
squad continued their winning
ways this week with three victories.
They downed a very strong
Roanoke five, then topped Valley
High and Dadeville High to finish
a perfect week. These three
wins give the frosh a 7-1 record
thus far this season.
Wednesday the Cubs journeyed
to Roanoke and faced a very good
quintet from the National Guard
there. Both teams displayed a fine
brand of ball with the Plainsmen
ending on top of a 59-53 score.
Leading the scoring for Auburn
was Quinn Dillard who netted 14
markers. He was followed by Le-
Roy Suddath and Fred Bowers
with 13 and 11 points. For the
losers Glass and May set the pace
with 13 and 11 scores apiece.
Valley High of Langdale proved
to be the plebes second victim of
the week in a game played Friday.
The A.P.I, men sank the
gajne dribblers 59-47. LeRoy Suddath
proved to be the sparkplug
for the Cubs and racked up 18
markers.
He was helped by Owen Hodges
and Quinn Dillard who contributed
13 and 11 buckets apiece.
High scorers for Valley were
Sherrer with 14 points and Fra-zier
with 12.
Saturday the frosh met and vanquished
a Dadeville High five
54-45. Fred Powers, Billy Gabrial,
and Quinn Dillard paced the Auburn
attack scoring 13, 10, and
and 8 points respectively. Robinson
and Akin, shared high point
honors by netting 14 points each.
The Cubs will engage in one of
their most important games Saturday
Jan. 28 when they oppose a
strong freshman aggregation from
the University of Alabama in the
Sports Arena. The Capstoners will
be favored in the tilt, but the
"It's no use, Mary, he's been like that since he discovered there's

ONE OF THE MOST improved
members of Coach Joel
Eaves Auburn basketball team
is forward Dan Pridgen from

Coach John Williamson has
issued Ihe first notice for
prospective baseball players
with a call for all varsity pitchers
and catchers to report at
the Field House at 4 p.m.
February 1. '

T
Cubs have shown a steady improvement
with each game and
can be expected to put up close
fight. The tossup will come at
7:30.
Ga. Swimmers Win
Over Tigers, 62-13
The Georgia Bulldog tankmen
swamped Auburn's Tiger last Saturday
62-13 in the Athens pool,
and in so doing established two
new school records.
Bill Volk, junior butterfly artist
f r o m Brunswick, Ga., was
clocked by three timers in 1:03 for
the 100-yard breaststroke on his
leg of the victorious BuJJdog 300-
yard medley relay. This time surpassed
the Stegeman Hall pool
record of 1:05.5 set last year, and
also bettered the varsity mark of
1:04.7 set by Volk last Thanksgiving
day as he won the event in
the International Meet in Chapel
Hill, N.C.
The Bulldog medley relay team
also bettered the school mark of
3:10.8 with a clocking at 3:10.7.
Georgia Sophomore C h a r l ey
Cooper led the individual scoring
with firsts in the 220 and 100-
yard free style events.
Bill Dunlap, of Raleigh, N.C,
carried the Auburn colors well as
he splashed to a third place in the'
220-yard free style, and a second
in the 440-yard free style. Joe
McCracken, Birmingham, copped
first place in the 150-yard Backstroke
in the good time of 1:54.6.
Allan Parks took third place in
the one-meter Diving.
Other point-winners for the Auburn
tankmen were Gene Coffee,
with a third place in the 50-yard
free style; Tommy Gordon, who
took third in the 100-yard free
style that was won in the good
time of :55.8, and Archie Staple-ton,
with third in the 200-yard
Breaststroke.

Tiger Gridders Continue
Annual Spring Drills
The return of spring-like weather
to the loveliest village has
brought a renewal of activity on
Drake Field in a big way. With
freshman candidates and junior
college transfers already hard at
work, Coach Shot Senn Monday
had his flock of ends going through
a rigorous session belaying the
fact that spring practice is but a
few days old.
The thud of pads is. daily increasing
as more and more rough
work is being dished out to the
1950 hopefuls. Members of last
year's varsity squad will add to
the collection next week as Coach
Earl Brown and his staff step up
the pace with a full-strength'
showing of material for '50.

Joel Eaves, Former-Tiger Cage Star,
Makes Remarkable Record As Coach
By Jim Jennings
Sports fans, especially at Auburn, know that Auburn's
basketball team has been winning ball games very3 consistently
so far this season, having taken nine of their 11
contests, including conference wins over Ole Miss, Mississippi
State, Florida and Alabama.
However, it is doubtful that
many of them know very much
about the tall, erect, gray-haired
man with a pleasant smile and
pleasing personality who is very
largely responsible for the success
of the 1950 version of the
Tiger cage team.
Replaced Doyle
He is Joel Eaves of Atlanta,
who replaced capable Danny
Doyle as basketball coach after
Doyle resigned to accept a position
as a Boston Red Sox baseball
scout.
The Auburn campus is a familiar
place to Coach Eaves. Even
though he claims he didn't unpack
his bags for the first two
months of his freshman year,
because he was afraid he couldn't
stay, he set one of the greatest
records for athletics, scholarship
and leadership during his undergraduate
y?ars at Auburn that
the school can claim for any of
its graduates.
Joel Eaves earned eight varsity
letters in athletics while an undergraduate
at Auburn. Three
were for football in which he received
recognition as an All-
Southeastern end. Three more
came in basketball. He was captain
of his team during his senior
year. The other two "A's" were
awarded for his ability as a baseball
pitcher which was a vital
factor in capturing the SEC flag
for Auburn in 1937.
A Good Student
It is a commonly accepted
theory that athletes are dumb,
but the records frequently fail to
give the theory the necessary
supporting proof. This is especially
true for Coach Eaves. While
he was setting athletic records he
was also setting scholastic records
which were good enough
to merit recognition by Phi Kappa
Phi and Kappa Delta Pi, scholastic
honor fraternities..
Joel Eaves was active in Auburn
campus leadership in addition
to being an athlete and scholar.
He was a member of Spades,
Auburn's highest undergraduate
honor, ODK, the "A" club, and
Scabbard and Blade.
Army Team Great
Coach Eaves began his coaching
career at Sewanee but it was
at Fort Sill that he began his
phenominal record of success as
a cage tactician. His artillery
school teams won 21 games in a
row to compile a won-lost record
of 25-2. The next season Coach
Eaves applied his coaching talents
to football as well as basketball.
The grid team was undefeated
and unscored on in eight
games and his basket ball team
won 15 games and lost two.
Coach Eaves was then assigned
a tour of duty in the Southwest
Pacific as a lieutenant colonel. It
was on this tour that he met his
wife, then Wealth Lindsay, a major
in the Army Nurses Corps.
Miss Lindsay, a California girl,
and Coach Eaves were married
TIGER COACH
Joel Eaves
High. His teams'produced a 13-7
record in basketball and 9-4 in
baseball but in a reshuffle of the
school system, Coach Eaves went
to Murphy High.- There he produced
a master's record of 43
wins and eight losses in two seasons
in the face of high odds.
While coaching in Atlanta
Coach Eaves was the head coach
of the 1948 North Georgia High
School All-Stars. The north defeated
the south and three boys
for the northern team are now on
college cage squads. Roger Wel-don,
one of the three is at Auburn.
His next stop was at Auburn.
From the record he is compiling
on the Plains it appears he has a
permanent job if he desires it.
His Greatest Thrill
Coach Eaves thinks that he
received his greatest thrill as a
coach when Auburn defeated
Alabama in basketball December
20 by a score of 45-40. He contributes
his greatest thrill as a
player,, to the 1936 Tennessee
football game when he caught
the touchdown pass thrown by
Bobby Blake to win the game, 6-
0, two plays before it ended. He
also enjoyed contributing to the
defeats of Georgia Tech.
Coach Eaves lists golf as his
principle hobby. At a basketball
game he likes to sit on the right
end of the bench; he wears a tie
regularly if his team is winning
consistently.
Although he does not like to
make predictions, Coach Eaves
stated, "We don't have a bad ball
team and if they are hitting right,
I believe they can hold their
own."
Auburn now has alumni in all
48 s t a t e s . Little more than a
month ago, the Auburn Alumni
Association had records on alumni
in 46 states. Then an alumnus
when they both returned to the j turned up in South Dakota mak-

states. The couple have a daughter,
Wealth Joanne, nearly two
years old, and a son, Joel, Jr.,
aged four months.
Coached In Atlanta
After his return to civilian life.
Coach Eaves returned to his
home city of Atlanta to coach
ing it 47.
Now the A.P.I, alumni organization
has located one alumnus in
Nevada. He is Bolivar Lennox
Davis, member of the 1899 mining
engineering class. Davis is
mining for gold at Winnemucca,
in the rich hills of northwestern
basketball and baseball at Boys Nevada.
Eviction Cases
Aired By Chapped
The steps to be taken by a landlord
in seeking an eviction depend
on his reasons for wanting to obtain
possession of a rental unit,
William R. Chappell, area rent
director said today.
He pointed out that there are
two types of eviction from controlled
accommodations—eviction
by notice direct from the landlord
to his tenant and those requiring
a certificate from the rent office.
In neither case, he explained, is
the actual eviction ordered by the
rent office. If the tenant does not
comply with the notice then the
landlord has to resort to civil action
in a local justice or municipal
court.
Eviction by Notice
Eviction by notice applies to
tenants charged with non-payment
of rent, nuisance, or illegal occupancy.
Landlords may proceed at
local law to evict them, mailing a
copy of their notice to the rent
office within 24 hours. Chappell
emphasized that the federal eviction
provisions apply only to controlled
units.
Among dwellings not under rent
control are accommodations newly
constructed since Feb. 1, 1947,
and those decontrolled after a
conversion, and private homes
having no more than two paying
guests in non-housekeeping rooms.
In proceeding to evict tenants
by notice, Chappell explained, if
rent is overdue, then landlords
may proceed to evict tenants after
three days.
In the case of nuisances, a landlord
directs his notice to the tenant
giving notice to stop. If the
nuisance continues, a n o t h e r 10
days' eviction notice is given by
letter, with copies sent to the rent
office within 24 hours.
Eviction by Certificate
If an owner wants to occupy
his own unit, he may petition for
Med School Applicants
Notified Of Exams
The Medical College Test, required
of applicants by a number
of medical colleges throughout
the country, will be given May 13
and November 6, 1950. The test,
which is given by the Educational
Testing Service for the Association
of American Medical Colleges,
will be administered at
more than 300 centers in all parts
of the country.
The examination covers general
scholastic ability, understanding
of modern society and an achievement
test in science. No special
preparation other than a review
of science subjects is necessary.
All questions are of the objective
type.
The association recommends
that candidates for admission to
classes starting in the fall of 1951
take the May test.
Application forms and a bulletin
of information are available
from pre-medical advisers or directly
from Educational Testing
Service, Box 592, Princeton, N.J.
William Murphy Elected
Alpha Zeta President
William Murphy w a s elected
president of Alpha Z e t a at a
meeting of the club on January
16. Alpha Z e t a , is a national
honorary fraternity which recognizes
outstanding students in agriculture.
New officers are:
H. Thormer Smith, censor;
Lavanus Sanders, scribe; Sam T.
Jones, treasurer; C u r t Presley,
chronicler, and Elmo Renoll,
faculty advisor.
a certificate relating to eviction,
and a copy of the petition must be
served on the tenant. When the
certificate is granted, the landlord
may take steps under local law,
after waiting the time (usually 90
days) stated in the certificate.
Also under this method, evictions
may be made by an owner
for the purpose of making major
alterations or repairs which can't
be carried out with the tenant in
occupancy. The waiting period in
this case is generally three months.
A third type of certificate eviction
is when an owner wishes to
withdraw his unit from both the
housing and non-housing rental
market, with six months the usual
waiting period after certificate is
issued.
"But in every case, proposed
evictions must be brought to the
attention of the area rent office,"
Chappell said.
