The Auburn Debate Council en­gaged
members of the debate
team of Southeastern College,
Durant, Okla.,- in a debate on the
subject: "Resolved, That the
federal government should adopt
a policy of equalizing educational
opportunities in tax - supported
schools by m e a n s of annual
grants" over station WAUD Mon­day
night. .
Lee Taylor, pre-law student
from Birmingham, was chairman
of the non-decision debate, which
was the first such inter-collegiate
debate held on the campus in
several years.
Auburn participants who hand­led
the affirmative side of the
question were William O. Walton,
Jr., LaFayette, and Bob Robinson,
Columbus, Ga.
Following the broadcast, an Au­burn
negative team composed of
George K!elley, Fredricksburg, Va.,

Auburn was just one of the
places the Southeastern team stop­ped
in its tour of the South. The
team, from Southeastern, which
always produces one of the best
showings in the nation, has won
many debating honors. In 1947
they won the National Inter-col­legiate

booths set up at the Main Gate,
in Alumni Gym, Ramsey Hall, and
at the "Y" Hut, and ask the girl
oh duty for your name card. Then
say/'hey" to everyone you meet
on the campus, not only tomorrow
but also every day. The card
booths will be open from 7:45 a.m.
to 4:15 p.m.
The Freshman Advisory Coun­cil,
coed coordinating group, plans
to sponsor Hey Day every year.

ver Tigers; Series Dates
J. By Bob Ingram
Saturday afternoon, on Birmingham's Legion Field, before
the largest crowd ever to see a football game in the state, the
football teams of the University of Alabama and Auburn will
meet for the first time in 41 years. The game gets underway
at two o'clock. ^
Neither team will enter the
game with impressive season rec­ords,
but this fact will in no way
lessen the interest and importance
which is centered around the
game.
Alabama, with a won-loss rec­ord
of 5-4-1 for the season, will
enter the game a slight favorite
to down the Tigers. Auburn,- with
a 1-T-l record behind them, can
turn this otherwise drab season
into a howling success with a
victory over the Tide.
Alabama and Auburn first met
on the gridiron in February, 1893,
with Auburn walking away with
a 32-22 decision. The following
fall Auburn did it again, this time
to the tune of 40-16.
In the 11 games played to date,
Auburn has won seven, lost four
and tied one. In points scored, the
Plainsmen have a decisive lead,
254-130. Auburn's most one-sided
win was a 48-0 rout in 1895, while
Alabama's best effort was a 30-0
triumph in 1905.
There are eight Auburn Tigers
who will be playing their last
football game for the orange and
blue this Saturday. Lineman Hal
Herring, Royce McMahen, Bob
Cannon and Denvard Snell are
seniors, and in the backfield, Cap­tain
Russell Inman, Bill Ball, Zac
Jenkins, and Jim McDaniel are
making their final appearance for
the Plainsmen. These men have
all played fine football in their
years at Auburn, and they will
be sorely missed on the Plains
next fall.
Auburn's p r o b a b l e starting
lineup against Alabama will be
Erskine Russell and Bill Waddail
at ends, Max Autrey and Alter­nate
Captain John Adcock at
tackles, Bob Cannon and Ray
Moore at guards, and Hal Herring
at center. In the backfield will be
Charlie Langner at quarterback,
Travis Tidwell and Dickie Flour-noy
at halfbacks, and Captain
Russell Inman at fullback.

'Candlelight' Opens Monday Nighf;
Another Big Success For Players
By Mitch Sharpe
Siegfried Geyer's delightful drawing room comedy "Can­dlelight"
opened Monday night in the Y Hut to an equally
delighted audience. It brought a pleasing mixture of familiar
and new faces on stage, too.
The leads, Jack Seay and Jean-ette
Gore, are both new faces to
the Players. Jack, who takes the
part of Josef the lovelorn valet,
played the role with a fresh ani­mation.
Jeanette, as Marie the
capricious lady's maid, bounces
around the stage in a bewitching
and enchanting exuberance.
i The blustering and lecherous
Baron Von Rischenheim, Frank-lyn
Broyles, is also a new face
among the Players. He is also
"Candlelight's" stage manager.
Worldly and blase Prince Ru­dolph,
Lamar Rainer, is a more
familiar face to the audiences
which have attended the Players'
past productions. In addition to
being Prince Rudolph, Lamar also
collaborated with Telfair B. Peet,
professor of^ dramatic arts, and
Robert Blackburn, senior in dra­matic
arts, in designing and build­ing
the set for the show.
Dot Bost, the voluptuous Liserl,
and Carol Dorrough, the Baroness
Von Rischenheim, both add a
convincing touch to the comedy.
Earl Blakely, as the chauffeur,
and Robert Blackburn, as the ver­bose
waiter, round out the cast
by turning in creditable perfor­mances.
•
The play was directed by Ro­bert
Blackburn, who is finish­ing
up his directing with "Candle­light."
He also directed last year's
production of "Gaslight." Black­burn
will graduate next quarter.
"Candlelight" was adapted for
English presentation by the Bri­tish
humorist, P. G. Wodehouse.
It marks the end of the Auburn
Players thirtieth season on the
campus.
Placard Section
Practice Session
To Be Held Today
More than 600 students have
signed up to be in the placard sec­tion
of Saturday's game with
'Bama, Calvin Lowery and Jim­my
Kendrick, members of the
pep squad, announced this week.
A practice will be held this after­noon
and tickets for the game will
be given out at 4:15 p.m., they
added.
Contrary to, popular opinion,
this year will not be the first
time in which placards have been
used at an Auburn game. In 1939,
placards were used by the cheer­ing
section. Auburn was one of
the first schools in the South to
employ them.
The placard section will occupy
seats next to the band between
the 50 and 35-yard lines.
Expenses for the placards Were
shared by the "A" Club and the
Student Executive Cabinet. The
placards are 18 inches by 22
inches, blue on one side and or­ange
on the other.
In all there will be fifteen dif­ferent
designs made during the
game.-
Each student will be issued his
placard and an index card at the
game.
Students in the placard section
are urged to refrain from sailing
their placards around the stadium.
NOT DINNER BY CANDLELIGHT but "Candlelight" itself
as Seigfreid Geyer's lilting comedy of the antics of a prince and
his valet opened Monday night, at the Y Hut. Seated at his high­ness
Prince Rudolf's table are Jack Seay and Jeanette Gore.
Standing between them are Lamar Rainer and Carol Dorrough.
The stern visaged man in the opera cape is not the villan, oddly
enough, but Franklyn Broyles. Hand on hip stands the lady
who has a habit of leaving her pajamas behind, Dot Bost. The
play will be shown on December 3, 6 and 8. "Candlelight" is the
second Players' presentation this quarter.

Students' Children
Christmas Party
To Be December 10
A giant Christmas party for
students' children will be held in
the student activities building at
3 p.m., December 10, according to
plans announced by Mrs. Bertha
Prowell, advisor to veterans'
families.
Word has been, received that.
Santa Claus will arrive ahead
of his annual Christmas Eve
visit to give out a surprise gift
to every boy and girl there. Mrs:
Prowell errtphasized that Santa
will have a gift for each student
child at Auburn regardless of
whether or not his parents took
part in planning the treq.
The idea of the affair has been
well received on the campus, and
has the backing of a large num­ber
of clubs. This is the second
year that Mrs. Prowell has han-deled
the arrangements for the
sponsoring clubs, each of which
serves as a committee to handle
some specific phase of the plan-
•ning.
Although the plans are far ad­vanced,
there is still some work to
be done, and, all willing hands
will be welcomed. Those wishing
to help should contact Mrs. Pro-well
in the Veterans' Affairs Of­fice
on the first floor of Sam-ford.

Telphone Company
Issues Directories
Nearly 2,900 copies of the new

in the mails Tuesday for Auburn

manager.
Carrying a green cover, which
makes it easily distinguishable
from the old grey cover book, the
directory contains many newMist-ings
and changes in'numbers.
For the first time the book con­tains
a classified section. Printed
on yellow paper, the classified
section lists alphabetically under
appropriate. headings the names,
addresses and telephone numbers
of business and professional tele­phone
subscribers in the city.
Smith askecl 'that telephone
users refer to the new directory
for desired numbers. -"Looking up
the number helps avoid the possi­bility
of getting the wrong num­ber
and frequently saves time of
the calling party as well as the
party who might be called in er-,.
ror, he reminded. In view of the
already crowded condition at cen­tral
office, he asked for coopera­tion
of the general public-in this
connection.
While the 2,900 directories were
being delivered in Auburn, ap­proximately
2,600 were sent out
to telephone subscribers in Ope-lika.

Thanks To Everybody!
Few students know of the hard work
that has gone into the planning of the
Alabama-Auburn football game which will
be played Saturday. From the date that
the presidents of the two schools met to
renew athletic relationships, faculty mem­bers
and student leaders from both schools
have been working to make the relation­ships
between the schools the best in the
nation.
Several-meetings between the leaders
of the schools have been held. At all these
meetings, representatives f r o m both
schools worked together in harmony and
trust. The parade, the pre-game ceremony,
the half-time activities, the trophy, the
newspaper publicity, and the seating ar­rangements
were worked out to the satis­faction
of all concerned.
It is impossible to name all of those
who devoted their time and efforts to this
event. The Plainsman expresses its sincere
thanks to the alumni, faculty, and students
of both schools for the part they have
played in making this game the success
which we are sure that it will be.
The Alumni Association
Here's a thought for the seniors who
will graduate this quarter. How about join­ing
the Alumni Association before leaving
school?
The dues are only $5 a year. In addi­tion
to giving you an official voice in the
Alumni Association's affairs and elections,
you will receive a subscription to the Au­burn
Alumnews. There are other benefits
from the association.. You will receive all
booklets issued by the association and you
can keep in contact with your classmates
and their careers.
If you desire to make a contribution to
the Greater Auburn Fund, you may do so
and mark your donation specifically for
what you want it used.
The first Greater Auburn Fund is being
earmarked for research in engineering,
agriculture, veterinary medicine and phar­macy
as well as chemical experimentation.
Several scholarships will also be instituted
from this fund.
Remember, your Alumni Association
is your contact with your alma mater.
Support it.
Aid To Schools
Senator Lister Hill's announcement
from Washington' earlier this week that
, he would press for passage of his federal
aid to education bill came as welcome news
to the entire South. Further, his optimism
over prospect's of the bill's passage was
heartening.
To illustrate what the measure would
mean to the South, Senator Hill pointed
that Alabama alone would receive $19,500,-
000 a year under terms of the bill. This
sum would be made available for schools
and teachers in the State.
No one who is even fairly well acquain­ted
with the'dire situation facing public
education in Alabama will deny that fed­eral
aid is the only way out of the situation.
Both white and Negro schools are over­crowded,
transportation systems are woe­fully
inadequate, school teachers are gross­ly
underpaid. Already Alabama is spend­ing
a larger share of her tax dollar on pub­lic
education than any of the rich states of
the North and West. Therefore, unless fed­eral
aid is made available there appears to.
be no hope of bettering the situation.
Senator Hill deserves the unstinted
support of all Alabamians/4n his effort to
push his bill, through the next session of
Congress. He is on the right track in his
attack on the school finance problem.
It is not with tongue in cheek that the
Plainsman reminds that this weekend is a
historic one in the life of Auburn and Uni­versity
of Alabama. At the risk of being
accused of aiding and abetting the so-called
"over-emphasis" of college football,
we say that the meeting of Auburn and
Alabama on the gridiron of Legion Field
Saturday marks an important step forward
in education in this state.
There is far. more to this resumption of
athletic relations (after 41 years) than the
mere playing of a football game, as impor­tant
as we hold it to be. More important
still is the fact that there is being ushered
'in what officials, students, faculties and
alumni of both schools hope will be a long
era of cooperation between Auburn and
Alabama in every facet of higher educa­tion.
It is obvious that Alabama in particu­lar
and the entire Southern region in gene­ral
would reap large benefits from any
great cooperative eiffo'rt in which this
state's two most important colleges might
join. Many of us have decried the school-boyish
attitude that has dictated that any
such cooperative effort was impossible.
Auburn has a wide field of educational
emphasis, and Alabama has hers. Where-ever
they meet there is no reason why the
two institutions should not join together
to do even a better job than is now possible.
Alabama, the state, needs all the work,
the thought, the ingenuity the two schools
have to offer. There need never be any
sharply defined lines inside which the two
should be forced to stay. Our state has
many vexing problems. The more attacks'
there are from more educational fr-onts, the
better.
We do not believe it necessary to urge
that Auburn men and women conduct
themselves Saturday in a spirit of friendli­ness.
All of us want Auburn to win. We
believe we have a" good enough football
team to bring home the bacon. Every last
one of us should be in the stands pulling
for a great Tiger victory. But we can do
all that and still stay in the bounds of
gentlemanliness.
Gentle Reminder
The Auburn-Alabama game Saturday
will be a big event for every student and
old grad. Let's not make it a sorrowful one.
There are going to be a great many
automobiles on the roads to and from Bir­mingham.
And every student who drives
to the game will be taking not only his own1
Jaut other lives in his hands by careless
driving. -
The streets and avenues near the sta­dium
will be particularly crowded and
dangerous for motorist and pedestrians.
Remember: '
Save a life—it might be your own.
Mbney, Money, Money
To ,those of us who believe that we are
living in a materialistic world, a few facts
about the renewal of athletic relationships
with the University rjl Alabama are of in­terest.
The football game between Auburn
and Alabama Saturday is a great shot in
the arm for the financial wizards of Au­burn.
Although it is hush-hush topic, (no one
knows why) Auburn's bank acccount, espe­cially
in the athletic department, is practi­cally
non-existant. Auburn's share of the
gate from Saturday's, game will be well
over $50,000. When you start buying foot­ball
players and uniforms, $50,000 won't go
far, but it's a s t a r t \f
So for those of us who think too much
emphasis has been placed on this game,'
there is a consolation when we consider*
the financial angle.
Stalling Tactics?
"Candlelight," another Auburn Players'
production, opened at the "Y" Hut Monday
night. Additional performances will be pre­sented
Friday night and Monday and Wed­nesday
rights of next week.
"Candlelight" is the second play presen­ted
this quarter by the Players. Even under
adverse conditions, both plays have drawn
capacity crowds.
The Players have brought good enter­tainment
to Auburn. They deserve a decent
theater in which to present their produc­tions.
The "Y" Hut is inadequate. The
Players have been promised a better thea­ter
many times. As the years go by, j v e are
led to believe that these promises have
been nothing more than typical stallling
tactics so often employed by college ad­ministrators
who care little as to the stu­dents'-
interests.
The Exchange Post •***••*•"«» Deacl End
The Common Man •*••*'*'*-»•
Whenever I see two men playing chess, I feel very much
like a member of Alcoholics Anonymous must feel on seeing
one' of his former tippling friends posing for a Calvert ad­vertisement.
It's sort of a mixture of wholesome nostalgia with
a shot of temptation.
The whole sordid story started when I was an undersized •
freshman in an oversized high precisely what I did.
It wasn't easy for awhile. I
used to keep a chess board and a
box of men tied on a string and
hung out of the window of my
room. Unfortunately the "maid
fbund it one day when she came
in to move the dust around. Then
I tried the chandelier, but that
failed, too. The gaslight kept
smoking up the board so-I could­n't
tell which were the red
squares and which were the black
squares.
Well, fortunately Nature solved
my problem for- me. It seems like
puberty set in like a palsy. I
started going with girls and one
thing led to the same thing and it
wasn't long before chess was, just
a pre-pubertical problem and
seemed so childish now.
BUT
Last Friday night I went over
to Jim Hearn's room to use his
portable typewriter and potable
stimuli. Jim lives with a very
charming couple named Louis and
Annelle Killian. They have a nice
apartment, warm and cozy. I
thougnt I would just drop in and
say hello to them before going
back to Jim's room.
\ walked into the living room
and sat down. Louis had a chess
board all set up. Something old
stirred in my psyche. I felt an
old longing. I fought it; I lost.
With trembling fingers I nud­ged
the pieces into position. With
heart in mouth I made my first
move. He replied. I shot out a
pawn. His queen tiptoed out. And
thus it went for several minutes.
Then something happened. I
found myself with his queen, a
knight, a rook, and a brace of
pawns. Louis conceded defeat. He
admitted that I had him. But no,
not -this early in the game. I
wouldn't quit. We played on a
little longer. I collected another
knight and several more pawns.
I grew confident. I grew cocky.
I grew hysterical. He had me by
the bishop. My queen fell.
Through a thickening mist I heard
that familiar old word "Check­mate."

Sharpe
m an
school. Warren Easton Boys High,
in New Orleans, was a melting
pot of the quick and the dead.
There was no middle ground. A
freshman could do one of two
things. He could team up with the
lads from the Irish Channel and
waylay Protestants on St. Pat­rick's
Day or he could join the
Warren Easton Anthropology and
Archaeology Club and lose him­self
in after-school talks on such
cultural subjects as were brought
up.
I chose the lat­ter
after the lads
from . the Irish
Channel found
lout I was an Or­angeman.
But culture
j has its advant-jages.
I develop­ed
a passion for
chess while a
Member of the
W.E.A.A.C. And
I'must say that
I played with more enthusiasm
than skill. Well, it wasn't long be­fore
I had degenerated into a
pushover for the fellows waiting
for a real gahie to come along.
Each loss became an induce­ment
to try a little harder. The
harder I tried, the worse I was
beaten. I even took books out of
the library and followed page
after page of such cryptic direc­tions
as," "WQP-WQP4; BKRP-BKRP4."
But to no avail.
This continued losing soon be­came
an obsession. I took to cut­ting
class and hanging out around |
chess parlors, smoking corn silks
and drinking yoghurt. It seemed
like I was doomed to become an
intellectual Studs Lonigan. My
friends in the W.E.A.A.C. quit
asking me up to the club room for
a rousing talk on Byzantine Cur­licues
or a review of Cleopatra's
autobiography "Asp Me No Ques­tions."
Luckily, I was rescued by the
family psychiatrist. He told me
simply to give up chess—to for-'*
get about it entirely. And that is
BURP By Boyd Hinton
Skirts is a subject which has
long interested me.' And while
it m'ay be delicate in nature, it is
one that has real meaning for
women and is a matter of inter­esting
speculation for men.
Skirts are divided roughly into
two types. One is flared at the
bottom and the other is not. At
the top, both types have the "same
theory behind them, that is they
are g a t h e r ed
around the girj's
middle, with a
smaller diameter
than the hips.
Even an elemen­tary
knowledge
of physics per­mits
you to un-
I d e r s t a n d the
m e c h a n i c s of
this.
Before the re-
Hinton incantation o f
the "new look," there was little
use in worrying about the skirts
that were tights around the bot­tom
since few women wore them
—but now, with the skirts hang­ing
almost to their ankles, it
makes walking something of a
problem. The, gjrls simply can't
take long steps. This can be re­medied
by taking short steps but
the minute she tries to climb onto
a bus or street car,- she can do one
of'two things. Either ask some
gentleman to give her a little
boost or else she can hist the
thing up around* her knees and
step in.
With the flared type, things go
dandy as long as the wind re­mains
in either a horizontal or
downward direction. But let the
old wind take a bad turn and the
woman has that awful decision
to make. If she is from the coun­try
she catches her skirt but the
city girls invariably catch their
hats.
The girls are also very expert
when it comes to maneuvering
when they have on a flared skirt.
This business of girls keeping
warm in winter bothers me too.
I know that men are not suppos­ed
to 'see what keeps women
warm," but I would still like to
know. I nearly freeze when the
wind whistles up a pants leg, but'
to have on a skirt, brrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Quite a few students who
thought they were entitled to re­gister
with the seniors have been
shocked by the discovery that
they're still juniors. What makes
it so hard for them to take is that
they'll never be able to register as
seniors.
They will graduate in June, '49,
and so it would seem that they'd
have to be seniors. Such is not
the case. Several quarters ago,
because of schedule difficulties,
they had to skip a few subjects
and take some senior work in-,
stead. Now they try to, schedule
the subjects they had to skip, but
aren't able to do so because by the
time they register the classes are
all closed out.

whole thing is pretty confusing,
and the most confusing part of it
is the way they must be classified
as juniors, even though they have
only two quarters left in school
any way you figure it. .
This racial problem is no South­ern
weed—it blossoms in all sec­tions
of our nation. Despite voci­ferous
declamations that riots in
Los Angeles, Detroit, and Harlem
were not based upon racial dis­content,
the unpalatable truth is
that they were. In fact, the prob­lem
has reached a much more
dangerous stage in t h e North
than it has in the South. It at­tracts
less attention only because
there are fewer Negroes.
The South is forced to shoulder
the blame in this situation chiefly
because of the ignorant and criti­cal
stand taken by many of the
nation's leading magazines and
newspapers. A Negro killed in
Harlem is listed in the obituary
section of the newspaper as the
victim of "gang warfare," and
the incident is forgotten. But let
a white man kill a Negro in the
South, and immediately the word
"lynching" is spread over the
front page of every newspaper ift
the country. Our entire Southern
civilization is judged and con­demned
on the basis of a few iso­lated
lines of newsprint.
The stand taken by some of our
modern "liberals," such as Henry
Wallace, Eleanor Roosevelt, and
Harry Truman, has shed an even
more unfavorable light upon the
South. These people have suppos­edly
adopted a sympathetic atti­tude
toward the Negro. Yet their
preachings and practices have in­cited
strife and fostered discon­tent.
Unlike Booker T. Washing­ton
and George Washington Car­ver,
they have hindered rather
than helped the Negro in his
struggle for respect and respon­sibility.
' t' .'•
Racial equality is, theoretically,
an admirable ideal. But the in­escapable
fact is that white ;
Americans always have and prob­ably
always, will draw the color
line when it comes to intermar- '
riage and other such intimate re­lationships.
This problem must be
met, but it must be handled real­istically
if it is to be solved. We I
must temper our idealism with ;
common sense in order to,emerge j
with a progressive and practical
solution. *

Last week Rita Hayworth show­ed
up in New Orleans with her
friend, the Aga Kahn. They de­nied
rumors of an impending mar­riage,
and the Aga, or whatever
he is called, said they were only
friends. Miss Hayworth added
that,v after all, "Mr. Kahn is still
married." The two friends then
boarded a plane for Chicago. I
may be mistaken, but I believe
that, officially Miss Hayworth is
still Mrs. Orson Welles. If so, that
little detail might hold up the
wedding. If anyone happened to
remember about the last mar­riage,
that is.
The incident reminds me of a
joke about an old maid and her
pet monkeys. The punch line is
"No, they were just friends." The
rest of it isn't fit to print.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
In the November 17 issue of the
Plainsman there is an editorial
entitled "Campus Thieves." This
seems to be somewhat misleading,
and I beg permission to make a
statement concerning it.
Since coming to Auburn in No­vember
1944,1 have never thought"
that many students are suffering
from bibliokleptomania. It is true
we lose a few books from time to
time, but when the size of our
student body is considered, I be­lieve
one will agree that our los­ses
are very small.
Our entire library program is
based on the •assumption that the
Auburn student is one of honesty
and integrity. I am happy to say
that whenever we find a student
who does not live up to this rat­ing,
he is in a very, very small -
minority. i
Sincerely yours,
Clyde H. Cantkell

Dear Editor:
In reply to the letter which the
Plainsman published on Novem­ber
24 concerning the salutations
offered by the Auburn Band to
the opposing schoolsMor as the
author of the letter said "the sal­utations
not offered by the band,"
we as members of the Greater
Auburn Band feel that we must
answer this uncalled for charge
by an "unnamed individual."
The letter shows that this stu­dent
has not attended the games
which Auburn has played and
also shows his ignorance of band
formations.
We have at all games saluted
the opposing schools in a letter
signifying their school or in band
formation by playing their Alma
Mater or fight song. Th\s has one
exception — t h e Homecoming
game with Louisiana Tech. In this
case the formation was planned,
but we did not have either the
fight song, or the Alma Mater of
this school.
When the schedule of games
was made publkythe bandmaster,
David Herbert, wrote to each
school requesting a copy of their
fight song or Alma Mater, or the
name of each if it is well known.
We received answers from all but
Louisiana Tech in time to use it at
the game. This schpol, we have
not heard from.-
Perhaps the doubt in this indivi­dual's
mind is the Georgia game.
The'fight song of the University
of Georgia is/'Glory, Glory To
Old Georgia" which has the same
as our own "Glory." If you were

Wilmore Building
Work Progressing
According To Plan
By J. H. Langley
Construction of the John J.
Wilmore Engineering Laboratory
is progressing according to sche­dule,
J. R. Bowman of buildings
and grounds announced,, this week.
It is expected to be completed by
July,' 1949. The contract was
awarded to Batson-Cook Con­struction
Company of West Point,
Ga., in April of this year.
Very little office., space is pro­vided
in the new building. Most of
the space has been designated for
laboratories. Space will be alloca­ted
for laboratories in aeronauti­cal,
chemical, civil, electrical, me­chanical
and sanitation engineer­ing.
There will be a hydraulics
laboratory and one for polaris-copy.
The area to the east of the lab­oratory,
now being used for stor­age,
wil eventually be developed
into a parking lot.
Mr. Bowman stated that the ar­chitecture
of the new structure
would harmonize with the rest of
the campus. It is of reinforced
concrete and masonry with pre­cast
concrete slab roof.
Heat will be supplied by the
new central heating plant located
southeast of the men's dormi­tory.
There have been two delaying
factors encountered in the con­struction
work so far: Bad weath­er
and an old filled in drainage
ditch under the new building.
The east wing of the El Build­ing
will be demolished and its
wall closed in. The State Toxi-cologist's
office will be moved to
new quarters in Graves Center.
A road west of the laboratory
will be built as the new building
nears completion. It will connect
West Magnolia with the parking
area.
'At a later date, a covered pas­sage
will connect Ramsey Hall to
the laboratory.
Most of the departments and
schools using the new laboratory
wil maintain their•'• present places
in the various buildings on the
campus. However, the chemical
engineering department will be
completely housed in the new
structure.
The new building will cost
$957,980.

Disabled Veterans
Deadline Advanced r
February 1, 1949 is the new
deadline by which certain serious­ly
disabled veterans must submit
evidence of dependency to quali­fy
for retroactive payment of in­creased
compensation, H a r l ey
Smith, Alabama regional mana­ger
of the Veterans Administra­tion,
announced Monday.
U n d e r previous regulations,
such evidence had to be received
by the VA before December 1,
1948 for eligible veterans to qua­lify
for the retroactive increase
The amount of the increase is de­termined
by the degree of the vet­eran's
disability and- the number
of his dependents.
Only veterans-with-dependents
who have disability ratings of 60
per cent or greater are eligible for
the increase, Smith said. The in­creased
payments ,are retroactive
to September 1, 1948 for those
veterans who had claims on re­cord
.then listing dependents.

Professor Metzger Has The Answers
To Questions Concerning Government
By Jimmy Everett
In the years to come, when some student queries, "How
did Alabama cast her electoral votes in the election of 1948,"
"Who was chairman of the parole board in 1946," or any such
question pertaining to Alabama, Prof. A. B. Metzger of the,
history department will be able to pull out the answer with­in
a few seconds.
For several years Professor
Metzger has been collecting
news items dealing with the go­vernment
of Alabama and filing
them for future reference in
teaching his course in state go­vernment.
From th^ leading
newspapers and magazines of the
South, Mr. Metzger clips each
suitable story and tapes it on a
sheet of white paper.
In the margin tie writes explan­atory
notes on the nature of the
contents and then tucks it away
in the large filing cabinet which
is rapidly filling up. The articles
are classified to correlate with
the topics in the text of the state
government course, thus making
them easily available. Professor
Metzger also corresponds- with
various state officials and politi­cal
party officers.
Professor Metzger was born in
Lancaster, Pa., but moved to Ala­bama
at the age of seven.
While still a small boy, he
contracted i n f a n t i l e paralysis,
which rendered him unable to
move a limb for a year. By the
tireless efforts of his parents in
massaging his limbs he gradually
improved. Professor M e t z g er
finished high school at Gadsden
in 1925 and went directly to the
University of Chattanooga. He
received his B.A. in economics
with a minor in history there.
While attending, he was privile­ged
in studying under Thomas B.
Abernathy, an outstanding south­ern
historian.
Gaining his M.S. in history at
Auburn, Mr. Metzger began
teaching here in 1938 on a fellow­ship.
He now teaches American
history, state and national go­vernment,
and a survey course in
government. Professor Metzger
married Miss Addie Crowder of
Lanett in 1940.
In spare hours Professor Met­zger
enjoys gardening and fish­ing,
doing most of his angling in
the local streams. His garden,
however, requires the most atten­tion,
but it pays off handsomely in
corn and beans in the summer.
The next time your roommate
questions your authenticity on a
fact of our fair state, don't argue
with him, just head for the third
floor of Samford and get the an­swer
from Professor Metzger's
files.

Concerning this, question of uni­forms,
in high school the usual
rule is to play games at night. In
the fair- this • -hour is somewhat
cooler than in the afterpoon in
the blazing sun. The old Auburn
uniforms are 100 per cent wool
garbardine. If this individual can
sit out a game in these uniforms,
more power to him. WHY ISN'T
HE IN THE BAND HERE? Per­haps
if he were, the tun© would
change.
If anyone has any doubts about
these or any other questions con­cerning
the Greater Auburn Band,
we would be glad to have him
drop around to the band hall in
the old barracks cafeteria %vhere
he will be shown any drill sche­dule

questions answered by the "men

Dear Editor; * \
In regard to the letter complain­ing
that the Auburn Band never
salutes the opposing team:
Evidently this guy hasn't at­tended
any of the games; or else
he didn't understand, or couldn't
see what was going on. With the
exception of cjpe game, (Home­coming)
the^band has never failed
to salute the opposing team. For
Ga. Tech we formed a yellow-jacket
and played "Ramblin'
Wreck"; for Vanderbilt we form-a
"V" and played their Alma Ma­ter;
for Miss' State we formed
"Miss" and played* "Hail State";
for Georgia we faced the Geor­gia
stands and played "Glory to
Old Georgia"; and at the '"Bama"
game we are going to form a foot­ball
abd play "Yea Alabama".
We had the formation worked
out saluting the L.P.I, team but
through neglect or oversight, they
did not send either their fight
song or Alma Mater so we had
to leave it out. Why doesn't this
guy find out what he is talking
about before he shoots off his
mouth. ">•
And another thing, if this fel­low
is such a red hot bandsman,
having been in a high school for
four years, etc., why isn't he a
member of our band? We are .try­ing
to build a greater band for a
greater Auburn so we need all the
good musicians we can get.
If he was a band member he
would know why we take our
! coats off while we are in the
stands. Those old uniforms are a
dark, heat-absorbing blue, thick
100% wool, therefore thjey are
hotter than blue blazes, but if he
had looked a little closer he would
have noticed that the band was
still uniform. Everyone either
takes their coats off or leaves
them on.
Our new uniforms are of a
lighter material so there.will be
no cornplainte along that line
next year.
Yours for a mightier

6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Dec. 1, 1948: TIGER HALFBACK
Tigers Outplay Undefeated Clemson
But South Carolina Team Wins 7-6
By Bob Ingram
The Auburn Tigers, battling furiously in the mud and
mire of Mobile's Ladd Stadium Saturday, lost a heart-break­ing
7-6 decision to Clemson's unbeaten Tigers.
An 18-poirtt underdog in pre-game betting, the Plainsmen
pushed the Southern Conference leaders all over the lot for
50 minutes, only to see a fumble • ,
late in the final quarter turn into Pa s s t o Thompson complete on
the Auburn 14.
In four plays, with Matthews
doing all the ground gaining,
Clemson had a tie. Jack Miller
booted the point, and Clemson
was stiH unbeaten and untied.
For the Auburn team it was a
bitter defeat. They had played
their hearts out, under the most
trying conditions, in an effort to
do what had been regarded as an
impossibility.
a Clemson touchdown.
From the opening kickoff, the
slim crowd of 14,000 realized that
Auburn was definitely up for this
game. Auburn drove 60 yards in
the first five plays from scrim­mage,
but the Clemson line stif­fened
on the 5 yard line, and Au­burn
gave up the ball on downs.
' Early in the second quarter,
after halting a Clemson drive on
their own 37, Auburn marched
63 yards for their touchdown. Af­ter
two line plays failed to gain,
Bobby Weaver faked a kick and
threw a screen pass to. Russell
Inman good for 27 yards.
i Ihman and Jenkins made it a
first down on the 24 in two
smashes at the line. Inman then
fired a 12 yard aerial to Pyburn
to the Clemson 12 yard marker.
Jenkins, taking a hand-off, dart
Even in defeat the Tigers were
magnificent. The line turned in a
brilliant game, and the Plainsmen
backs were continually shaking
loose for long gains. :
It would be hard to single out
any Auburn man as outstanding,
they all played fine ball. -Bobby
Weaver kicked the wet pigskin
in fine fashion, Captain Inman
ran like a wild vbiill, and Travis
ed through his own left tackle J Tidwell looked like the .Tidwell of
and scored standing up. Lang
ner's try" for point was low, and
.Auburn led 6-0.
The .third quarter was -predo­minantly
a kicking duel between
Auburn's Bobby Weaver and
Clemson's Bobby Gage, ' with
Weaver continually getting the
better of the dual.
' In the fourth quarter Clemson
got the break that they had been
waiting for. Tackling high in an
effort to steal the ball, a Clemson
tackier succeeded in forcing an
Auburn fumble, and Clemson took
Over on the Auburn 48.
Cone made a yard, Matthews
went for seven, making it third
and two on the Auburn 40. Au­burn's
defense closed in, expect­ing
a smash by Cone, but Cone
faked a run, reversed to Mat­thews,
who then tossed a neat,
•
46 as he ran and passed the ball.
The quarterbackng of Langner,
Hawk and Johnson left nothing
to be desired, and the running of
Jenkins, Norton, Flournoy and
Gafford was outstanding.
Up front, where the going was
roughest as well as muddiest, the
entire Auburn forward wall turn­ed
in a great game. Ends Fagen,
Willett, Russell and Waddail play­ed
fine football. At tackles, Aut- j 1
rey, Adcock, Snell and Hepler
gave the Clemson backs a fearful
work out. • In the center of the j
line, Hal Herring, Hogarth, Moore,'
Cannon, McMahen, McGuire, and
Wise continually threw the Clem
son attack in reverse.

City Of Auburn Ice Race
Scheduled For Tomorrow
Something new for the annual "Hey-Day" Thursday will be
c-n "Ice Race." To those who find this as a mysterious and strange
announcement, come on up town and take in the first of Auburn's
"Ice Races."
The "Ice Race" will be held Thursday, Dec. 2, climaxing "Hey
Day" at 4:00. The race will begin at College Street at the Main Gate
and move down East Magnolia to the finish line on Gay Street.
Contestants will be two-man
volunteer teams entered by Au­burn
frats, sororities, and organi­zations.
Each entry has to furnish
a 200-pound block of ice which
one man will be required to ride
while the second man will push.
Once started the contestants must
stay on the block of ice to the fin­ish
line. The starting gun will be
fired around 4:15.
The winning team will be pre­sented
a handsome 12-inch silver
1 trophy awarded by the City of
Auburn. The trophy will have
the following engraving: "Winner,
Annual Auburn Ice Race Trophy,
1948, Awarded by City of Au­burn."
The cup will be presented
at the pep-rally Thursday night
to the winning team.
"This is the first contest of this
type at Auburn. Support of all
students is urged to make ^the
etfent successful enough to have
the ice-race annually and vadd it
to the list of A.P.I, traditions,"
said Jimmie K e n d r i c k , head
cheerleader. "The race will be
symbolic of 'Hey-Day,' because
it'll be Auburn students melting
down the icy unfriendliness that
creeps in too often. So come on up
to urge your choice on as he melts
d o w n Ol' Icy Unfriendliness.
Credit for the ice-race idea goes
to the University—the race is an
unusual e v e n t during 'Bama's
Homecoming celebration — there­fore
we can connect the race as a
tie over from "Hey-Day" to the
Beat-Bama Pep Rally, which fol­lows
that night.
"Anyone desiring to enter teams
is requested to contact Tommy
Eden at 921, SAE House by noon
Thursday. Contestants .will re­ceive
entry instructions, rules,
etc., at that time."
Handel's'Messiah'
To Be Presented
For Fourth Time
Handel's oratorio "The Mes­siah"
will be presented for its
fourth annual Auburn perfor­mance
on Sunday afternoon, De­cember
12, in the student activi­ties
building. Members of the
college symphony orchestra, the
college glee clubs, and the com­munity
chorus will participate.
Soloists will be Mary Newman
Graves and Miriam James, so­pranos;
Daphne Brown Rice,
mezzo-soprano; Edgar' Evans,
baritone, and Hollace Arment, te­nor.
The chorus is being coached
by Mr. Arment, head of the mu­sic
department, with Billy Tam-blyn
as accompanist.
Mr. Arment urges all singers
who wish to participate in the
presentation of "The Messiah" to
attend rehearsals every Tuesday
evening at 8:30 in the music
studios over Toomer's d r ug
store. The chorus should be in­creased
to at least 150 members,
says Mr. Arment.

Auburn Band Half-Time Performance
Expected To Be Best Show Of Season
i
By Jim Jennings
There will be a battle of the bands as well as of football
teams in Birmingham Saturday when the band of Auburn
and the "Million Dollar Band" of the University of Alabama
provide half-time entertainment at the Alabama-Auburn
game.
Although Auburn's band does
not have the r e p u t a t i o n of
'Bama's, it has compared favor­ably
with the bands it has met
thus far this year. The Auburn
band will be striving to present a
show which will equal or excell
that of t h e "Million Dollar"
group.
The formations to be presented
by Auburn's band represent sev­eral
seasons of the year. The
rainy weather of April is the.
first season symbolized, then the
season of early summer flowers
and next the hot, lazy, days of
summer. Autumn is represented
by a harvest moon and a football
and winter is represented by a
snow man. The show ends on a
Christmas and New Year theme.
Auburn's band comes on the
field in marching order playing
"King Cotton" and, before going
into its first formation, does a
special march step to "Tiger Rag."
The first formation, an umbrella
representing A p r i l showers, is
formed as "Singing in the Rain"
is played. The band stands and
and plays "Umbrella Man." Again
playing "Singing in the Rain" the
bapd forms a flower pot from
which a tulip "grows" to the
tune of "Tiptoe Through the Tu­lips."
They Stand and play "Love
in Bloom."
Summer is represented next by
a rod and reel, formed as "Sum­mertime"
is played. The hook and
line winds up on the reel to the
strains of "Lazy Bones." The band
breaks from this formation on
"September in the Rain" and
forms the harvest moon repre­senting
Autumn. "Harvest Moon"
is played and during the last bars
of the number a football is form­ed.
In the football formation the
band plays "Yea Alabama" sa­luting
the University and "Glory
to Old Auburn" in salute to Au­burn.
Winter is symbolized by a snow
man and the song "Winter Won­derland."
Then a huge "Merry
Xmas" is formed to the familiar
strains of "Jingle-Bells." The
band stands and plays "Silent
Night" then leaves the field play­ing
"Auld Lang Syne", the tradi­tional
song of New Year.
This show requires the services
of all ninty-two bands members
and promises to be by far the
best show the band has done this
year.
The new Auburn band Uni­forms
are an exact replica of
those worn by the Auburn band
the last time Auburn and Ala­bama
met in football.
What the Alabama band is plan­ning
for its part of the half-time
show is not known.

Crimson Tide Highlights
Of 1948 Football. Season
By Bob Ingram
The Alabama football team Which Auburn will be meet­ing
Saturday is an unusual Alabama football team. Unusual
in that it is not headed for some New Year's Day bowl game.
Alabama football teams have a habit of making these ex­cursions
quitevregularly. Excluding this year, Alabama teams
have gone to a bowl six of the last .seven seasons.
In 1941, 'Bama topped Texas
A.&M. in the Cotton Bowl, 29-21,
although out-first downed in that
game 10-1. The 1942 team went to
Miami for a January 1 engage­ment
with Boston College, and
walloped the Eagles, 37-21. Ala­bama
didn't go to a bowl in '43,
but the main reason for that was
that they didn't have a team that
year.
In 1944, Harry Gilmer passed
Alabama into the Sugar Bowl,
where a Duke eleven squeezed
by the Crimson Tide, 29-26. The
1945 team went to the grand
daddy of all the bowls, ^ h e Rose
Bowl, and it was their 34-14
trouncing of Southern California
which led the Pacific Coast to
quit inviting Southern teams to
Pasadena. They were too rough.
The 1946 season, like this sea­son,
is one that Alabama fans
would like to forget. The Tiders
were knocked off for four losses,
'Bama's worst season in years. In
1947 it appeared that they were
headed for another disasterous
season, but after early season
losses to Tulane and Vanderbilt,
the Red Elephants roared back
for seven consecutive wins and
were invited to the Sugar Bowl.
Mighty Texas proved too much
for Alabama that day, and the
Longhorns "walloped the Tide
27r7.
Tide Stars Graduate
This was supposed to be Ala­bama's
bad year. Graduated from
the team of the last four years
were such stars as Gilmer, Tew,
Hodges, Mancha, Wozniak, Mose-ly,
Morrow and Compton. Those
men proved to be hard to replace,
but Coach Red Drew has done a
commendable job in turning out
another strong Crimson Tide
eleven.
Alabama opened its schedule
with Tulane, and was upset by
the Greenies, 21-14. Tulane drove
to a 21-0 lead midway of the
third quarter, but the Tide came
fighting back and nearly pulled
the game out of the fire.
Vanderbilt was next, and play­ing
before a sellout crowd of
36,000 in Mobile's new Ladd Me­morial
Stadium, the Crimson Tide
scored a touchdown on the last
play of the game to earn a 14-14
tie. A pass from Eddie Salem to
Jack Brown proved to be the
payoff play.
The Tidesman really opened up
the following Friday night in
Tuscaloosa, when they crushed
Duquesne in an intersectional
game, 48-6. Salem, Noonan, Ca-denhead,
Calvin and Brown all
looked good in the backfield for
Alabama, while Steiner, Hood,
Richeson, Franko, O'Sullivan and
Theris were outstanding linemen.
The Vols of Tennessee proved
too experienced for 'Bama the
next Saturday, and Coach Bob
Neyland's team rolled to a 21-6
win. Littleford and Proctor were
outstanding in this win for Ten­nessee.
'Bama Beats State
It was Homecoming for Missis-sippi~
State the next Saturday,
and State was favored to hand
'Bama a thrashing before the
homecoming alumni. But Ala­bama
had not heard about all
this, and they upset everybody's
dope bucket, topping McWilliams,
Davis and company, 10-7. Ed Sa­lem's
second quarter field goal
provided the winning margin.
Georgia's high-flying Bulldogs,
practicing a theory of victory
through airpower, shelled 'Bama
35-0, the worst defeat for the
Tide in years. Johnny Rauch
turned in an Ail-American per­formance
as he led the 'Dogs to
this win.
Alabama rested for their Geor­gia
Tech encounter by rolling up
a 27-0 win o v e r Mississippi
Southern, with the reserves get­ting
in most of the Tide action.
Tech was next, and they were
heavily favored to get back on
the winning track after falling to
Tennessee. Playing its finest
game of the season, Alabama
scored a stunning 14-12 upset.
Cadenhead was the hero for Ala­bama,
scoring one touchdown,
and playing fine defensive ball.
Elliot Speed, sophomore center,
intercepted" one 'of Southard's
passes and raced 65 yards" for
Alabama's winning touchdown.
Alabama, fresh from its upset
win oyer Tech, found itself on
the receiving end of an upset the
following week. Playing against
an LSU team which had not won
a conference game, the Tiders
were crushed, 26-0. This Ala­bama
team in no way resembled
the team of the'' previous week
that had tdken Tech into camp.
'Bama Squad Inexperienced
The one obvious thing about
this Alabama team is that they
have the material, and when they
are on, they are as tough as any
team in the conference. But like
all teams which are inexperi­enced,
their playing is unpredict­able.
When they are up they are
way up, and when they are down
they really hit the depths. Au­burn's
chances against this team
depend entirely on whether Ala-

November 16.
Miss Hall explained how place
mats, aprons, luncheon cloths,
dish towels, stuffed animals and
bridge sets could be made at a

Auburn Tiger Highlights
Of 1943 Football- Season
By Bob Ingram
When Auburn and Alabama met oh the gridiron in 19^7,
Auburn went into the game a heavy favorite. In their first
five engagements Auburn had run up 130 points against drily
12 for their opponents, and the gamblers were giving 2-1 odds
that Tigers would roll over the Tide. But it didn't work out
that way, .the game ending in a 6-6 tie.
Saturday when Auburn and
Alabama meet again, the tables
will be reversed with Alabama in
the role or favorite, arid Auburn
striving for an upset.
Auburn, under Coach Earl
Browri; is drawing the curtain on
its 1948 campaign with the Ala­bama
game, arid a win over the
t i d e in this final engagement
would go a iorig way iri making
Tiger fans feel a little better
about the season.
That Auburri has had a bSd
football season is undeniable, but
with a few less iri juries, a few
good breaks, and maybe a little
luck, Auburri could have1 won a
couple of those games they lost.
tigers Taste Victory
Opening the season in Montgo^
mery against Mississippi: South-efh,
the tigers rolled to a 20-14
victory, Tidwell, peifrey arid
Gafford scored }he touchdowns.
Gafford's tE) cahie iri the last
minute of play, breaking a l4-l4
deadlock. Auburn's lirie lodked
particularly good in this game,
but of the negative side, a weak
"pass defense by the tigers fore
told of trouble in, the future.
Louisana tech o f f e r e d the
Plainsmen their Horriecoming op­position,
arid Auburn barely man­aged
to come out with a 13-l3
draw. In the first half Auburn
se6red three tiriies, but two of the
touchdowns were nullified. Tid­well
scored Auburn's first six-pointer.
Tech came back to go out
in front, but Eay Peifrey re­turned
a kickoff 87 yards for
the tying marker.
A Saturday night encounter
with the University of Florida
was next on the menu for the Ti­gers,
and they lost a heart-breaker
to the ^'Gators, 16-9.
Florida scored first, but Auburn
came right back with a touch­down
of their own with tidwell
tossing to Russell for the marker.
Russell blocked a Florida punt in.
the third quarter to garner twoi
more points for Auburn, but a,
disasterous fumble deep in Flori­da
territory late in the fourth
quarter assured the 'Gators of a
winv.
Auburn met Georgia tech iri
Atlanta next, arid the passing
wizard of Jimriiy Southard arid
Joe Brown were too rnuch for the
Plainsmen, and they fell 27-0.

Auburn Opens Basketball Season In Game With Howard College Friday In Birmingham
Coach Doyle's Team Favored; Four Sophomores
And One Senior Expected to Start Contest
By Jack Simms
Auburn's 1948-49 basketball team will get its first test of
the season in games with Howard College Friday night and
Birmingham-Southern Saturday night at Birmingham's Mu­nicipal
Auditorium. Georgia Tech will also open its season
the same nights and will play Birmingham-Southern Friday
and Howard Saturday on the same program.
Although Coach Danny Doyle •
has not released his starting line­up,
most observers believe four
sophomores and one junior will
be on the floor for Auburn when
the opening whistle blows.
In recent drills, sophomores Bill
Mobberly and Don Lanford have
been the outstanding forwards
and will probably be starters. Wil­liam
Lynn, one ol the four juniors
on the squad, should get the nod
as starting center. Sophomores
Roy Brawner and Mac McAfee
are expected to be Auburn's start­ing
guards.
McAfee and Lynn will be play­ing
their first game under Au­burn
colors. McAfee was an ineli­gible
freshman last season be­cause
he was not in school at the
date specified by the SEC eligibi­lity
rules. Lynn is a transfer from
St. Bernard Junior College, where
he gained recognition as being
one of the outstanding players in
the South last season.
Auburn's conference record of
seven wins and seven losses last
season, and the fact that Coach
Doyle has lost only one player
from last year's team has estab­lished
Auburn as the pre-game
favorite in both the Howard and
Birmingham-Southern contests. -
The Auburn team employed a
slow, deliberate offense last year.
However, with a season's exper­ience
behind the team, and with
the added speed and height
through the presence of Lynn and
McAfee, Coach Doyle will prob­ably
mix some fast break forma­tions
into Auburn's offense this
year.
• After the two-game Birming­ham
engagement, the Tigers re­turn
to Auburn for the Mississippi
State contest on December 11.
This will be the only home game
for the squad this quarter.
Auburn will complete its Bir­mingham
play on December 21 in
a game with the University of
Alabama. A three game stand at
the Oklahoma City Invitational
Tournament will complete Au­burn's
Christmas Holiday play.
The teams who will compete in
the tournament are Colorado A
&M, SMU, Baylor, Oklahoma
A&M, Texas Tech, University of
Texas, University of Alabama,
and Auburn.
Delta Zefa Wins
Volleyball Crown
From Susan Smith
Delta Zeta sorority took a close
29-28 decision over Susan Smith
Cottage to win the women's intra­mural
volleyball championship
Tuesday night, November 23.
In the first game of the double
elimination finals, the favored
Delta Zetas bowed to a determined
Susan Smith team 30-17. Since
the Cottagers^ had moved up in
the losers division, a second game
was required to decide the cham­pion.
After the walloping handed the
Delts in the first game, the finals
Tuesday night were rated as a
toss-up. Both t e a m s -exhibited
good spiking and blocking, with
the score at. half-time being 14-12.
All the way the game was a
contest of spiking between Martha
Price for the Delts and Benny Mc-
Crary on the other side of the net.
Susan Smith center Grace Ward
was outstanding in picking up the
spikes pounded by Price.
Miss Martha Walton, referee for
the game, stated, "In that game
was some of the best volleyball
playing I've ever seen. Both teams
were exceptional."
Individual awards of sterling
silver miniature volley balls were
presented the champions.
Players and their points for
Delta Zeta were Johnson, 7; Ows­ley,
2; Tippins, 4; Price, 4; Pea­cock,
6; Mackie, 5; Jones, 1,
and Tuley, 0.
Susan Smith players and their
scores were Grantham, 7; B. Ward,
7; McCrary, 5; Watters, 5; G. Ward,
2; S. Ward, 1, and Bennett, 0.
TJhe "W" boys are-definitely in
command of Auburn's football
end detail this season. Half of the
Tiger flankmen have last names
starting with W. They are Bill

Freshman Basketball Season Will Open
December 11 With Game In Sports Arena
By Wayne McLaughlin
Auburn's freshman basketball team will open its 1948-49
season against an unnamed opponent at the sports arena Sat­urday
night, December 11, according to John Williamson,
frosh coach. The game will be a preliminary to the main
event, which will pit the tiger varsity against Mississippi
State.
Coach Williamson has been
drilling his charges steadily since
practice began November 3 in an
effort to pick a 15-man squad
from the 60 candidates. The frosh
coach said, however, that no posi­tions
were sewed up and that he
planned to pick the squad on a
. basis of hustle and effort put
forth in practice sessions.
Those not making the squad for
the first game will be permitted
to keep trying, and should their
performance in pre-game practice
warrant it, they will be placed oil
the squad for the next game. Wil­liamson
warned that practice will
be held at least two hours nightly,
necessitating that players do their
studying in the afternoon.
This year marks the return of a
regular freshman cage team after
a five-year absence at Auburn.
The frosh mentor hesitated to
make any remarks about what he
expected out of the team this
' year. He said that he expected the
squad to be bolstered consider­ably
when four freshmen now
running with the varsity and se­veral
cage standouts now playing
freshman football show up.
In addition to the four games
already scheduled, two each with
the University of Alabama and
Maxwell Field, Coach Williamson
hopes to schedule two games each
with Georgia and Georgia Tech.
He is also planning to schedule
games with a few top high school
and service teams.
