Construction of the instrument
under the supervision of Dr. Gor­don
Hughes, professor of physics,
took 14 months. Dr. Hughes was
assisted by two students in .en-college.

Auburn Has Won 20 of The 29 Games Played;
Brown's Squad In Fair Shape After Rest
By Bob Ingram
When the Auburn Tigers meet the unbeaten and untied
Clemson Tigers Saturday in Mobile it will mark the thirtieth
renewal of this old rivalry.. Game time is two p.m.
In this long series the Plainsmen have built UP a command­ing
lead over the Clemsonites, winning 20 of the encounters,
losing only 8, with one"" tie. In
points scored Auburn leads 501 to
157.
In this game the Plainsmen will
"be meeting one of the five re­maining
major unbeaten and un­tied
elevens in the country. In
the select circle with Coach Frank
Howard's fine team are Califor-f&
m ! nia, Michigan, Notre Dame, and
Army.
Clemson has chalked up eight
consecutive victories this season.
Opening with a victory over Pres­byterian,
the Tigers have since
1 taken the measure of North Caro-j
1 i n a State, Mississippi State,
South Carolina, Boston College,
| Furman, Wake Forest and Du-quesne.
After a well deserved rest,
Coach Earl Brown and his Au­burn
Tigers are, back at work for
this important game. With only
two games remaining on the Au­burn
schedule, the Tigers are ex­pected
to shoot the works in an
effort to bring this 1948 season to.
a succesful conclusion.
The Auburn line, which has
played outstanding ball through­out
the campaign, will have its
hands full against the hard-run­ning
attack of Clemson. Leading
the Auburn line will be center
Hal Herring, Auburn's All-SEC
candidate, a senior from Lanett,
Alabama.
At guards will be Bob Cannon
and Ray Moore or Bill McGuire,
tackles Max Autrey and Alter­nate-
Captain Johnny Adcock, and
ends Erskine RusseE and Bill
Waddail or Virgil Willett and
Ralph Pyburn. Pyburn is a Mo­bile
boy, and will likely get a
chance to show' before the home
town folks, i
With both Danny Stewart and
Jim Ryckeley out for the remain­der
of the season with injuries,
the Tiger starting backfield will
be weakened considerably. This
week Coach Brown has been us­ing

Charlie Langner at quarterback
Travis Tidwell and Dickie Flour-noy
at halfbacks, and Captain
Russell Inman at fullback.

3—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1948 TIDWELL MAKES FIVE YARDS AGAINST GEORGIA
Wrestling Squad Prepares for Season
With Daily Workouts In Sports Arena
Coach Arnold Umbach's Auburn wrestling squad, 1948
SEC champs, a r e w o r k i n g out daily at t h e sports a r e n a in pre­p
a r a t i o n for the oncoming season.
With several of t h e 1948 r e g u l a r s back and w i t h t h e addi­tion
of n ew material, Coach Umbach is expected to field a
team wwhhiicchh sshhoouulldd ccoommppaarree fa-vorably
with last'' year's title-winning
team. . .
The Tigers opening assignment
may be their toughest. They jour­ney
to Lexington, Ky., to wrestle
last years Southern Conference
champs, Washington and Lee
University. This meet is schedul­ed
for January 13.
The Tiger wrestling team of
last year had a near-perfect sea­son,
losing only to the powerful
Naval Academy of Annapolis in a
gruelling ten-meet schedule. Tig­er
victims included Vanderbilt,
Georgia Tech and Appalachian
State Teachers.
Several changes have been
made in the 1949 schedule. David­son
and Virginia Military Insti­tute,
losers to Auburn last sea­son,
have been dropped from the
schedule and Washington and Lee
and Arkansas State Teachers
have been added. Navy has also
been dropped and two matches
have been scheduled with Geor­gia
Tech.
Members ol last year's team re­turning
for action this season in­clude
John "Spider" McKenzie,
135 pound class, Phil Smith, 165
pound class and Carroll Keller,
145 pound class, Dan Man-trone,
light-heavy, and John
Brnilovich, heavyweight, are on
the football squad, and will join
the wrestling team on completion
of the football season.
Coach Umbach has a number
of new men, and with a nucleus
of last years squad, should turn
out a well-balanced team. In the
121 pound division Jack Gray,
E. O. Latham and John Howard
are looking good, while in the
128 pound class Son Dragoin,
Dick Little, and James Carpenter
have been outstanding.
Along with McKenzie in the
136 pound class will be Jack Or-cutt,
Robin Baker, and William
Martin, while Jerry Ducote is
giving Carrol Keller a battle for
the starting position in the 145
pound class.
The 175 pound department has
Larry Janzen and John Sewell,
arid there are four candidates for
the starting nod in the heavy­weight
class—Basil Wilson, Jud
Copeland, James Bottoms and Al­ton
Park.
New Parking Lot
Hears Completion
A new parking area, between
new classroom building and the
engineering shop building, will
soon be available to students,
according to J. R. Bowman of the
department of buildings and
grounds. The area will accommo­date
70 automobiles.
Although the lot cannot be com­pleted
this year it will be curbed
and base coursed. Mr. Bowman
declared that, "It will not be a
mudhole this winter."
The weather was listed as the
main cause of delay in completing
the project. Another delaying fac­tor
was the construction of an
entry road west of the new engi­neering
laboratory which is being
held up pending further construc­tion
progress on that building.
A connecting road between
West Magnolia Avenue and Thach
Avenue has been graded and will
be base coursed and curbed this
year. This road has not been
named.
Another feature of this space is
a concrete walk parallel to the
lot with steps up to the level of
the new classroom building. )
Twin 48-inch drainage lines
were installed in the ditch which
was to the-rear of the engineer­ing
shops. This drain is from the
rear of the textile building to a
drain in front of the field house.

Auburn Paintings
Originally Bought
To Be Sent Abroad
By Sam Hixon
The exhibit of contemporary
American art now on display at
the architectural library is part of
a selection of paintings originally
purchased by the State Depart­ment
to be sent abroad. The pur­pose
of the intendent foreign ex­hibition
was to show other coun­tries
what American art is up to.
A last minute change of plans
made the paintings available, and
Auburn got many of them.
Called "the most controversial
art issue of recent times" because
of the indecision about sending it
abroad, the whole exhibit was on
display at the Metropolitan Mu­seum
in New York where it was
warmly received by a majority of
critics.
The principal attack on sending
the paintings abroad centered on
the fact that the new emphasized
modern art. Some objectors said
that the pictures did not reflect
the "tree-is-a-tree" school. Final­ly
the paintings were turned over
to the War Assets Administra­tion
for disposal.
The WAA announced that seal­ed
bids to determine the paint­ings'
ultimate fate would be recei­ved.
Under the Surplus Property
Act certain priorities were grant­ed.
Schools and institutions would
get a 95 per cent discount on the
fair value of the paintings as de­termined
by appraisal experts.
As evaluated by the WAA the
entire show was given a fair
value of $79,658.50. When the go­vernment
bought it in 1946 the
State Department paid $55,880.
Auburn won paintings evaluated
at $21,853 and paid only $1,092.65.
The paintings will be on ex­hibit
at the Agricultural Library
through November 30. I

Variety Shows Needed
The student variety show, "Melody
Madness", presented last Wednesday and
Thursday nights brought out more than
just a lot of untapped talent.
"Melody Madness" demonstrated by its
popularity that the college should both
sponsor and promote the variety shows
which up to now have been solely student
activated and produced.
These paid admission shows have often
outdrawn the lecture and concert com­mittee
selections which are free. It would
seem that the students prefer this type of
entertainment even if theyv must pay for it.
Many colleges and universities around
the country sponsor a traditional varsity
show each year which is student directed
and produced. It is a regular part of the
college schedule.
The talent which is both actual and
latent on the campus never gets a chance
to perform unless one of these outside
variety shows comes along.
As things exist now, the music depart­ment
gives frequent concerts to demon­strate
the talent which their students pos­sess
and the Auburn Players provide an
outlet for the dramatic abilities* j^fcich cer­tain
students have. w *•
Therefore why not combine these two
sources with all of the undiscovered talent
on the campus and have one big varsity
show each year. If it could not be spon­sored
by college funds the admission de­rived
from the first show could be used as
a fund for the succeeding shows.
Still the Same Old Story
Final exams draw nearer with each
b r e a t h we take. There are only t e n school
days ahead of us before that fateful (or
not so fateful) march to t h e classroom for
t h e final test begins.
It cannot be denied that t h e r e are those
among us who are even now prepared and
await academic glory with glee. There are
others not prepared and yet not worried.
There are also many of us who mean well,
but the "forces of circumstances" have
left us r a t h e r embarrassed in the prospect
of judgement week.
Next quarter, however, it will be differ­ent.
We shall start anew and never once
swerve from the traditional resolutions set
f o r th by experienced freshmen and in­experienced
upperclassmen. The resolu­tions
are:
(l)r We shall do all work from day to
day and get every assignment in on time.
(2) We shall attend every class session.
(3) We shall pay faultless a t t e n t i o n to lec­t
u r e s and enter whole h e a r t e d l y into dis­cussion.
(4) We shall take concise and
copious notes. (5) We shall r e v i ew all past
work from day to day. (6) We shall ar­range-
an all-inclusive time schedule to get
at least eight hours of sleep each night.
(7) We shall never allow the equivalents
of "wine, women and song" to lead us
from the path of our duty.
To all this we are resolved s t a r t i n g the
first day next quarter. Amen.
Required: PE Suits
It has been brought to the attention of
the Plainsman that men students taking
PE are now required to buy suits for
their classes. The majority of the com­plaints
about the regulation are on the
fact that there are only three weeks re­maining
in the quarter and that many of
the students will have no use for the suits
after the quarter ends.
The complaint seems to be legitimate.
True, suits should be a regulation for all
PE classes. Most schools adopted the
policy long ago. However, it seems that
such a policy should be introduced at the
beginning and not during the quarter.
Student Activities Fees
In past years, the majority of the stu­dents
enrolled at Auburn have known lit­tle
as to the allocation of the student
activities fee. The Plainsman believes that
the more the student is told about the
business and administrative functions of
the school, the greater wirl be his interest
in its affairs both while he is enrolled and
after_he graduates.
Auburn students have shown particular
interest in the method of allocation and
the amount allocated to each of the stu­dent
activities. A breakdown of the 1948-
49 student activities fees was printed in
the student executive cabinet minutes in
the October 20 issue of this publication.
However, we are printing the report again
to insure the best readability. , .
All undergraduate students pay a fee
of $5.50 each quarter. Fifty cents of this is
set aside for a contingency fund which is
used to pay for damages inflicted to pri­vate
property by students. ,
The remaining $5 is spent to finance
activities for the students. The number of
these activities fluctuates from year to
year. The allocation for 1948-49 takes into
consideration 16.
At the beginning of each school year,
the president appoints a faculty committee
to study all projects of student interest
during the past year. The committee con­siders
each project as to the amount of
money needed for it to function properly,
the benefits derived from it, and the num­ber
of students interested in it.
When the facts have been gathered, the
faculty committee makes its recommenda­tions
to the student executive cabinet for
approval.
With the approval of the cabinet, the
recommendations are submitted to the
president for his approval. If the president
finds flaws In the recommendations, cor­rections
are made by the cabinet.
The allocation made for this year is:
1. Varsity Athletics 40 per cent
2. Band 2.5 per cent
3. Debating 0.75 per cent
4. Dramatic Arts 3 per cent
5. Exhibits 0.5 per cent
6. Glomerata 24 per cent
7. Intramural Sports .. 5 per cent
8. Lectures, Concerts .. 7.5 per cent
9. Music 2.25 per cent
10. Plainsman 6 per cent
11. Religious Life 1.5 per cent
12. Student Ex. Cab. .. 1.5 per cent
13. Student Soc. Life ~ 3 per cent
14. Tiger Cub ..._ .' 1 per cent
15. Unapprop. Fees 1.5 per cent
16. WSGA 1 per cent
Films For Education
The University of Georgia maintains as
a separate and independent service, a de­partment
of audio-visual aids. This de­partment
keeps a file of films, film strips
and slides which may be used by any oth­er
department or school on the campus.
New films are added on the various sub­jects
from time to time and the library "is
kept up to date in this manner.
The value of films as an instrument of
teaching is merely a modern twist to the
old adage that one picture is worth a
thousand words. And tests have proven
that people can remember more of what
they see than of what they hear.
The army early found the value of using
training films to instruct relatively large
numbers of men in short periods of time.
The facilities of the University of Geor­gia's
department of audio-visual aids are
also open to different civic and church
organizations off the campus.
Such a centralized department at Au­burn
would be a real asset and a step to-,
ward more progressive instruction.

Here's where you motorists come in.
The traditional hitch-hiking corners in

The Exchange Post ******* Dead End
By Joe Pilcher
The Common Man *>M ilch Sharpe
The Miami Hurricane, student publication of the Univer­s
i ty of Miami at Coral Gables, Fla., h a d a v e r y intriguing feat­u
r e in its November 12 edition. Under t h e fascinating headline,
Footballers Do It And Like It
In Phys Ed Folkdancing Class
a sports writer wrote a very win- "Twinkletoes" Snell and "Just
Sharpe
ning account of the oodles and
gobs of fun several prominent
members of the varsity football
team have "promenading" and
"doe-si-doeing."
To prove what he says, last
year's champion
s q u are d a n ce
caller was, "270
pound (now only
235) Ernie Set-t
e m b r e . " It
seems that Ter-psichorean
Set-tembre
put more
than just his vo-c
a 1 cords into
calling the dan-c
e s . Those 35
pounds he drop­ped
would have come in handy
against Old Siwash or Slippery
Rock.
Mario DeMarco, another var­sity
gridder, who puts his all into
squaredancing, mopped his brow
and stopped "doe-si-doeing" long
enough ..tp pant, "It's a very good
course . . . you work up a sweat,
but it's fun."
Even more enthusiastic than the
perspiring and inspiring "foot­ballers"
is a classmate, an ebul­lient
coed, who giggles and
drawls, "It's just plain darlin'
when the boys, who outnumbered
the girls, have to wear red rib­bons
(in their hair) when they
take the female parts."
Coach Andy Gustafson had no
comment to make on his huskies
as they pranced through the
Hambo, Hornpipe and Ayda (sig­nificantly—
a dance from RED
RUSSIA in which all of the dan­cers
join hands and march around
to the left.)
But maybe I'd better not start
laughing too soon. Suppose this
craze caught on in all Southern
colleges and universities. The day
could dawn when a visitor to the
gym might drop in on a dancing
class and witness such a spectacle
as this:
Several members of the var­sity
team are standing around ty­ing
their ballet slippers waiting
for the class to begin. The follow­ing
conversation insues between
Graceful" Adcock:
"I don't know why, but my
grand jette just ain't—I mean isn't
what it used to be."
"Yes, I've noticed it was a little
rusty lately."
"Well your enlj-echet isn't the
best in this class by a long shot.
Now I saw Norton do one that
would turn you green with envy."
"Yes, he's good too. If you are­n't
particular what you say, I sup­pose
you could say he was good.''
"—Jealous."
Now the doors fly open and
Miss Gootch, assistant professor of
squaredancing and polka pranc­ing,
enters. She looks around the
room and notices that a quorum of
the varsity team is present. She
begins the class with a nod to Miss
Zilch, associate professor of min­uet
and big apple, who doubles on
the piano. Miss Zilch strikes up
"Country Gardens" as the class
joins hands and commences, light
but fantastic. Miss Gootch claps
her hands and chants, "One and
two and three arid turn; one and
two and three and bow. That's
fine, Adcock you've improved
greatly." Adcock smiles cattily at
Snell. Snell bites his lip and fights
back a few tears. Miss Gootch
goes on clapping and chanting.
And so on for several more
choruses. Miss Gootch clapping
her hands and counting. Miss
Zilch thumping out "Country
Gardens." A d c ock improving.-
Everything rocks along just dan­dy
until the class halts for a short
breather . . . or as they say in var­sity
dancing, "time out."
After time out, the class lines
up for the Irish Lilt. Miss Zilch
is poised at the piano, Adcock
has an anticipatory leer on his
face, but then—it happens.
Miss Gootch's face grows first
stern, then cloudy. The class
quakes and cringes. They don't
like to see her like this. Storm
warning. Suddenly the storm
breaks. Miss Gootch shouts with
all the fury of a Florida hurricane,
"DEHVARD, D E N V A R D,
WHERE IS YOUR RED RIB­BON?
YOU KNEW YOU WERE
TAKING A FEMALE PART TO­DAY!
I"
He: "What if Tom does make
$75 a week. He can't hold a can­dle
to what I make."
She: "What do you make?"
He: "Gunpowder."

All college professors are not
bewhiskered and bewildered.
Larry "Pappy" Lawrence, debate
coach at Mississippi State, is one
of the most down to earth men I
have met. He has that rare and
valuable q u a l i t y of treating
strangers as if he had know them
all his life.
Being a bachelor, Pappy is able
to take an active interest in all
student activities. He has the title
of faculty advisor to PiKA, but
in reality he is more of a house­father.
He knows and speaks to
almost every student at State,
and he has been voted the "Most
Popular Prof" every year he has
been there. In short, Larry Law­rence
is an ideal professor—one
who is not afraid to let his hair
down and associate with his stu­dents.
Larry has developed an inter­esting
philosophy on life. He be­lieves
that both pleasure and
friendship are necessary in a well
balanced life. He has secured
both of these objectives through
the medium of helping "my
boys," as he calls the students
under him.
Pappy is quite adept at mixing
drinks, and he frequently comes
out with some he has invented
himself. One of his better known
concoctions is called the L.L.P.P.,
and it has gained renown all
over Mississippi because of the
story behind it.
The L.L.P.P. was named by a
beautiful Atlanta model who was
a good friend^pf Larry's. She and
her date attended a cocktail party
several years ago, and they saw
Larry just as they were leaving.
Knowing of his skill at mixing
drinks, the model begged Pappy
to fix one of his latest concoc­tions
for her before she left. Pap­py
willingly obliged, but he con­fessed
that he had not yet given
it a name.
The model had drunk about
half of the mixture before she
felt its effect. Suddenly she stood
up and said, "Pappy, I've got a
name for this drink. Call it the
L.L.P.P. — the \ Larry Lawrence
Passion Provoker!" With that,
she went into a violent clinch
with her date, and almost drag­ged
him out of the room.
Larry Lawrence still smiles
when he reminisces about that
night.
CHIPS
BURP By Boyd Hinien
With apologies to Jim Forrester
who wrote about war correspon­dents
and their books last week,
I want to bring up something of
a similar nature..
It is beginning to look as if the
best way to get ahead in this old
world is to get a job of some sort
with a famous person and then
later write about your years with
him. The j o b
matters l i t t l e ,
and only prere­quisite
to this
sort of thing is
ability to write
the English lang­uage.
The theory be-
Ihind the idea is
that the Ameri-j
can public will
go h o g - wild
Hinton crazy to know, all
the little intimate details of the
famous life. The writer also, with
the subtlety of a brood sow, tries
to implant into the readers minds
that they were the best stomp
down secretary, or house-maid
the great man ever had.
The book that is particularly of­fensive,
was run a few weeks ago
in a Birmingham paper entitled
"Eisenhower Was My Boss" by
Kay Summersby. According to the
article she was "General Eisen­hower's
Wartime Aide."
Of course that "Aide" business
could mean anything from his
manacurist to his laundress but
we'll let it go that she did have
enough to do with the General to
write the thing.
If it wasn't for the "Wartime"
part you can bet your boots that
Mrs. Eisenhower wouldn't have
put up with it as long as it takes
to lose a waiter's eye.
The article, accompanied by
many photographers, nearly al­ways
had Kay prominently in the
foreground.
According to installment seven,
the General had a little cottage on
London's outskirts that looked
like a Christmas card. "He (Eisen­hower)
lounged around the liv­ing
room in GI slacks (he wasn't
proud) old shirt, half-suede-half-
leather jacket and a shabby
pair oi straw slippers", install­ment
seven went on. It also (still
in installment seven) saved the
general from a mental breakdown.
Which all adds up that we know
what kept him from going nuts,
that he was a card sharp, drank a
highball at sundown, thought of
liquor as a loaded gun (potent •
stuff), read western stories and
loved baked beans. Oh nuts!
A few weeks ago I was lucky
enough to see the Laurence Oli­vier
version of Hamlet, and it was
a temptation to r e t u r n to t h e
Plains and add my small voice
to the general roar of approval
that is going up about the pic­ture.
It is everything that the
critics have said it is. ff there is
such a thing as the greatest mo­tion
picture ever produced, this
one will come very close to being
that picture. It will probably be
just that, for certainly no picture
ever had a better set up for suc­cess.
Olivier has been called the
greatest actor of our decade, and
that is no overstatement. Before
s e e i n g Hamlet
lit was hard to
picture him as
the u n h a p py
prince of Den­mark.
I suppose
that his perfor­mance
as Heath-cliffe
in Wuther-
%ing Heights was
^too vivid in my
memory. Heath-cliffe
was a dark,
scowling fellow,
almost gypsy-like — Hamlet a
b l o n d , melancholy, sensitive,
young Dane. Not rnuch similarity
there. Yet after seeing Olivier as
Hamlet, it's impossible for me to
Forrester
imagine him in any other role, or
to picture anyone other than him
as Hamlet.
It is not only Olivier's acting
that makes .the picture so be­lievable
and enjoyablev The ot­her
members of the cast are ex­cellent.
The screen adaption of
the Shakespearian masterpiece is
another example of the Olivier
genius.
It's a shame that this picture
isn't available for showings here
in Auburn. I can't think of any
available lecturer or concert
group that would be more en­joyed
by both the students and
the faculty. I understood the po­sition
of the two theaters in town,
and their hesitation or inability to
bring the picture here, but it
seems as if, someway, the school
might do it. If the lectures and
concerts committee were able to
book the picture as a part of its
series, it would undoubtedly be
the most popular p r o g r am
they've ever brought in.
This idea has been mentioned
in these pages before, but it's
impossible to say too much in
favor of the project. If it can't
be worked out any other way, the
lectures and concerts committee
might obtain an agreement with
one of the theaters to bring pic­tures
of this quality to the stu­dents.

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
I played in my home town high
school band for four years, dur­ing
which rime we attended and
participated in three regional con­tests.
During that time we were
always taught that it was an indi­cation
of good sportsmanship in
addition to common courtesy to
salute the opposing side in some
way.
From my past observations, our
Auburn Band is not in the habit
of doing this. The band has made
such wonderful progress in other
ways, I think it would be very be­coming
of them to include this
feature in their half-time perfor­mance.
In addition to this, it is quite
disappointing to see those uniform
jackets come off, ties loosened,
and collars unbuttoned after the
half-time performance. I don't
think I need describe the messy
appearance it gives the band for
this to happen.
I do hope the new uniforms will
not receive this same treatment.
We were taught that our uniform
should be all or nothing at all."
Why not make it "all"—all the
way through!

5—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nov. 24,1948 CHEMISTRY PROFESSOR
Professor J. E. Land Makes His Tools
To Do Research In Ross Laboratory
By Jimmy Everett
Long after the students have departed from classes each
afternoon, a light from a small window i n the basement of
t h e Ross Chemical Laboratory shines far i n t o the night. Here
Professor James E. Land is doing research work in t h e field
of physical chemistry amid a complicated maze of apparatus
which he constructed himself.
Since most of the equipment he
needed was not available, Pro­fessor
Land was forced to become
highly proficient in other arts
such as glass blowing, electronics,
and carpentry to acquire his tools.
Pie has designed and constructed
a rather elaborate automatically
controlled, constant temperature
bath, fractionating stills, electro­plating
devices, and many other
types of apparatus. To be specific,
' his work is in thermodynamics
and deals with the attempt to
measure the activity co-efficient
of unsymmetrical electrolytes in
mixed solvents.
Born in South Carolina, Profes­sor
Land did his undergraduate
work at Clemson, receiving a B.S.
degree in chemistry there. He
then pursued graduate work at
Tulane University, gaining his

master's degree. At the present
time Mr. Land has completed
practically all the requirements
for a Ph.D. at the University of
North Carolina and by next_year
he hopes to have the remainder
finished and the degree earned.
Professor Land joined the staff
at Auburn as an instructor after
graduation from Tulane in 1938
and is an associate professor,
teaching a large portion of the
freshman chemistry 101 and 102
plus the graduate advanced inor­ganic
courses. In 1943 he married
Miss Jeannetta Thomas, who now
directs the women's physical edu­cation
here at Auburn.
A member of many professional
organizations, among which are
the American Chemical Society,
American Electro-chemical Socie­ty,
and the Elisha Mitchell Scien­tific
Society, Professor Land was
selected chairman-elect of the
chemical section of the Alabama
Academy of Science at the past
meeting. He is a member of the
Tulane Chapter of Sigma Xi,
national honorary scientific re­search
society.
Several scientific papers have
been published by Professor Land
dealing with the methods of ex­traction
and purification of the
elements Columbian and tanta-
Jlum and one on the electro-plat­ing
of germanium. He has writ­ten
one other article on electro­chemistry
and plans soon to pub­lish
another dealing with com­plex
inorganic compounds.
Mr. Land was called from Au­burn
by the Navy in 1944 and ser­ved
until 1946 as a Lieutenant (j.
g.) During the two years he ser­ved
a term at the pre-midship-man
school at Asbury Park, New
Jersey as an instructor in navi­gation
and served a short term
at Camp Perry, Virginia; however,
} most of his time was spent aboard
an escort aircraft carrier in the
Pacific.

all of Professor Land's in­terest,
for he enjoys hunting and
fishing, but his wife insists that
he never catches any fish. He like-

Here are the facts. A purchaser,
even in good faith, is required by
law to return stolen property to
the true owner. But how many
students will ever find their
books in a book store?
Here is the solution. Burton's
requires all people selling used
texts to write their name in the
book and to show identification.
That should be a rule of all book­stores.
Sure it takes a little of
their time! It is for their own pro­tection!
Here is another helping hint.
When a student first misses a
book, immediately notify all
bookstores by giving your name,
the name of the text, and some
identification of the book. Also
when he buys a text, the student
should write very ^prominently in
ink his name. . '

Boys, BSU and Zippers In Finals i ;
Of Independent Football Playoffs
By Edwin Spencer
The independent touch football championship playoffs
between the winners of each league got off to a slow start
on rain soaked Bullard Field last Wednesday. The Boys of
League III defeated BSU of League I in a sudden death play­off
1 to 0.
The BSU defeated the Hellcats
8 to 7 Monday to become winners
of their league. A pass from Long
to Ingram was good for a BSU
touchdown. The extra point tied
the game up and it continued this
way until the BSU out gained the
Hell(cats in an over time playoff
to win the game 8 to 7.
Wednesday's Game
In a game with little offensive
power shown by either team the
Boys took a 1 to 0 decision from
the BSU to take the lead in the
double elimination playoff. The
first half was primarily a defen­sive
battle with neither team
completing a pass until mid-way
in the second quarter. Bro Brad­ford's
booming punts kept the
Boys out of possible danger
throughout the game.
The second half opened with
both teams showing offensive
spurts but neither of them able
to carry out a sustained drive. I w e n t into the game with un-
The game ended in a scoreless | blemished records and at the end
spectacular catch to end the-game
in victory for the Boys.
As for statistics the BSU led
the Boys in all departments. '.
They completed five passes to
four for the Boys and led in
first downs four to two. Each
team intercepted two passes.
The passing and running of
Bruce Long and the all-around
play of Beaty and Ingram fea­tured
the BSU attack. Bradford,
of the Boys, was the outstand­ing
player of the game. Other
standouts for the Boys were Clay
and Meagher in the backfield and
Young, Jones, and Crowder oh
the line.
Thursday's Game
When two undefeated, unscored
upon teams meet, there is bound
to be action and that is what
there was when the Boys met the
Zippers in the second game of the
independent playoff. Both teams
deadlock and this necessitated a
playoff. Turning on surprising
power the BSU completed three
passes in succession and appar­ently
had the game in the bag.
Undaunted, the Boys came fight­ing
back powered by Clay's fine
passing arm. With only one down
remaining, Clay shot a pass to
Bradford who went up between
two BSU defenders and made a

the winner had still not been
decided. Darkness prevented an
overtime playoff and the game
ended a ^ to 7 tie. The sudden
death playoff to determine the
winner was held Monday.
The Zippers scored first when
Walker took the ball on a reverse
and passed to Thompson for a
touchdown. Lemon then kicked
the extra point and the Zippers
went ahead 7 to 0.
Within three minutes the Boys
had the game on an even basis
fcgain. With Cloy doing the pass­ing,
the Boys started a sustained
drive that ended with Bradford
catching a pass for a touchdown.
Bradford again took a pass from
Clay for the extra point to put
the game in a 7 to 7 deadlock.
The Zippers had another scor­ing
opportunity late in the game
when Reese blocked a punt on
the Boys' 20-yard line. The Boys'
defense tightened, however, .and
they took over on downs.
The Boys' offense was superior
to that of the Zippers through­out
the game. They completed
nine passes to three for the Zip­pers
and made five first downs to
one.

SAE, Alpha Psi, And SPE In Race
For Inferfraternily Football Cup
By Bruce Greenhill
In the first week of the interfraternity football playoffs,
SAE, the defending champion, cinched a spot in the finals
against either SPE or Alpha Psi, the semi-finalists. SAE
reached this position by defeating Alpha Psi and SPE in that
order while those two teams were eliminating PiKA with
wins on successive days. SPE and Alpha Psi met Monday to
decide which team would enter
the finals.
The winner of this game was to
have met SAE Tuesday in the
final game. In case of a SAE loss,
the two finalists are scheduled to
meet next Monday to decide the
victor of the double elimination
tournament.
SPE 7, PiKA 0
In the first day of play, the Sig
Eps won a hard fought game with
a strong Pike team. Bill Fleming
and Hoyt Wigginton were the
chief SPE offensive men again as
they (engineered the Sig Ep score.
Fleming passed to Wigginton for
the winning touchdown and then
kicked the extra point. Jim Dow
and Flash Riley, always a threat­ening
pass attack duet, kept the
Pikes in the game all the way.
Reynolds' blocking, and the
charging of the whole "Big Red"
line were the defensive highlights
for SPE while the quick, bull-like'charges
of Dub Ellis topped
the Pike defensive performances.
' SAE 15, Alpha Psi 12
Bill Shelby's scoring of a safety
by touching a vet runner in the
end zone iced this game for SAE
after an unexpected offensive
struggle between two good sets of
passers and receivers had ensued.
SAE got off to an early lead as
had been expected but soon saw j
its 13 point lead cut down to a
one point margin as the vets
flashed some unexpected offen­sive
power and roared back to two
quick touchdowns. The safety
proved to put away the game for
SAE after a bitter struggle. Joe
Rollins passed to Jimmy Biggers
for both SAE scores and Bob Wil­liams
pitched to Lamar Moree for
both Alpha Psi markers. Shelby's
defensive play was SAE's best as
Ross Pryor, Derrel Smalley, and
Bill Spivey sparked the AP de­fense.
SAE 6, SPE 0
A pass, late in the fourth quar­ter,
from Joe Rollins to Arthur
Phillips gave SAE the decision
over SPE in a battle of power.
The two teams were evenly
matched, each boasting a potent
passing attack and a rock-ribbed
defense. The winning marker
came after an interception of a
Sig Ep pass on the SAE 40 was
turned into a touchdown drive by
a determined SAE team. Rollins
passed to Phillips, first for a long
gain down to the SPE fifteen and
then, using the same play, Phil­lips
scored to give SAE a touch­down
and the victory. Charley
Phillips,, F r e d Johnson, a nd
Charley Peay led the winners' de­fense
while the vicious blocking
of Ugh Brown while J. D. Rey­nolds
and the fast charging of Kit
Burgess spotlighted the Sig Ep
defensive play.
Alpha Psi 13. PiKA 7
Alpha Psi continued to show
surprising offensive strength by
eliminating a good PiKA team.
The vets scored first and then the
Pikes tied it up; the count re­mained
deadlocked -for a while
before the vets got underway
again and clinched at least a third
place spot in the final standings.
Bob Williams passed to Howard
Acree and Claude Jameson for
the Alpha Psi touchdowns and
then pitched to Moree for the ex­tra
point. Jim Dow passed to Ger­ald
Ziegler, who made a beauti­ful
leaping catch, for the Pike
touchdown. Spivey and Tisdale
led the Vet defense while Flash
Riley and Dub Ellis, led the Pike
team.

Research Buildings
For Ag School Use
Being Constructed
Three new greenhouses and a
headhouse are now under con­struction
for use in ornamental
horticulture research and instruc­tion,
the School of Agriculture has
stated.
The headhouse will be equip­ped
with a soils laboratory, an of­fice,
boiler and work rooms. Two
of the greenhouses will be equip­ped
