CORRECTION
Lieutenant Townsley was mis­quoted
in last issue of the Plainsman.
It was written that he favorerd build­ing
restriction, while he really favors
building regulation. This appeared in
the last Lion's Club report.

AUBURN BAND WILL
SPONSOR MATINEE
Football Reports To Be Given
In Langdon Hall Saturday
The Auburn Band will sponsor a
play-by-play account of the Auburn-
Vanderbilt football game Saturday
afternoon at 2:30 P. M. at Langdon
Hall. A special lease wire from the
stadium has been engaged, and those
not going to Birmingham will have
a chance to listen to each play as it
is sent out from the field.
The band has done much toward the
support of the football team and other
school activities, and it is only natu­ral
that a large number of students
and townspeople are expected to at­tend
the matinee. In this way the
band will receive much needed sup­port,
and the supporters will have the
opportunity to hear the results of the
game.
The price for admission will be
twenty-five cents.

TIGERS ARE IMPROVED
McGugin Expects Great Fight
From Strengthened Auburn
Aggregation
When Coach Geo. Bohler takes his
Auburn Tigers to Birmingham for a
game with Coach Dan McGugin's
Vanderbilt Commodores, Saturday, Oc­tober
19, it will be the first meeting
between the- two school since 1925.
This game was won by the Plains­men
by the narrow margin of one
point, the score being 10-9. Vandy
was a heavy favorite to win this game
but Dave Morey's first team at the
Plains completely upset the dope and
went back to Auburn with their fifth
win over the Commodores in fifteen
years of competition beginning in
1893.
The Tigers are rapidly forging to
the front and are expected to cause
quite a stir among S. I. C. teams be­fore
the season is brought to a close.
Coach McGugin and Nash Higgins,
Florida scout, after seeing the Au-burn-
Clemson game, expressed simi­lar
opinions concerning Coach Boh-ler's
second team at the Lovelist Vil­lage.
Both said that the Plainsmen
have more tentative power than any
team in the conference, but are a
team of sleeping giants at present,
but when they wake up, it will just
be too bad for their opponents. Com­ments
like this from people that real­ly
know football makes the football
enthusiasts- realize that Auburn really
has a god football team and one that
is fighting every minute of the game.
The clash with the Commodores will
be the third conference foe for the
Tigers as they have met Clemson and
Florida. Vandy has only played one
game in their own midst but showed
enough power in this game'to stamp
them as a typical McGugin team which
is one that is always in the running
until the final tabulations. They de­feated
University of Mississippi in
their lone conference engagement this
season.
Small crowds greeted the Bohler-men
last season on their appearances
in the Magic City but with a rejuve­nated
Auburn team performing on
Legion Field, one of the largest crowds
to see Auburn play in several years
is expected.
A special train will run from Au­burn
on the day of the game which
will cany the famous Auburn band
and several hundred students.
In Lindley Hatfield and Leo Young,
the Tigers boast of two of the sopho­more
sensations of Dixie. Both are
very shifty and have given their op­ponents
plenty of trouble this season.
Hatfield scored Auburn's first touch­downs
of the season against Birming­ham-
Southern and Clemson. He is
very elusive as it usually takes two
or more tacklers to down him. Craw-

Military Unit Invades
Montgomery Friday
Montgomery was peacefully
invaded Friday night when ap­proximately
one thousand Au­burn
students of the R. O. T. C.
unit marched through the streets
in a mammoth parade just be­fore
the Auburn-Florida game.
Ranks were formed as soon as
the special trains arrived, and ,
the battalions moved up Com­merce
Street to the Square,
where they were dismissed. It
was Auburn's first football par­ade
under military command, and
there were many compliments
upon the splendid appearance of
the new uniforms.
The parade presented the stu­dent
body as a unit, and the ad­ded
dignity made a very favor­able
impression upon the people
of Montgomery.
AUBURN ENGINEER IS
WORTHY HIGH PRAISE
IN YEAR'S FIRST ISSUE
New Cover Design Is Most
Striking Feature Of
Magazine
MANY STUDENT ARTICLES
Editorials Pay Tribute To An­niversary
Of Inventor Of
Electric Lamp
The "Auburn Engineer" came off
press Monday afternoon with many
improvements over corresponding is­sues
of past years. Most striking is
the appearance of the new cover de­sign.
Modernistic Roman lettering
is used for the title, and in the back­ground
appears a seal of the college.
The letter "E" of the Engineer is
boxed in with symbols of the various
branches of engineering. A drawing
of a gigantic skyscraper occupies the
central position of the cover.
Student articles on "The Develop­ment
of Radio Receiving Vacuum
Tubes," "Development of a New Type
Diesel Engine," and "The Summer R.
O. T. C. Camp" are featured. An
article entitled "Mergers are Alter­ing
Public Utility Status" by "Matt
Sloan, and an article "Heads of En­gineering
Faculty" also appear. This
latter article gives brief accounts of
the life histories of each of the deans
in the Engineering Department at
Auburn.
Departmental features include
"Technical Tidbits," "The Engineer­ing
Societies," and "The Safety
Valve," which is a page of humor.
The editorial page pays tribute to
the fiftieth anniversary of the elec­tric
lamp,, occuring on the 21st. of
October. The magazine this year is
more representative of the student
body than ever before, and gives in­dication
of making its fifth year of
publication one of the most success­ful.
Auburn Woman's Club
Holds First Meeting
Professors Brigham and Hazel Enter­tain
Club With Musical Selections
The Auburn Woman's Club held
its first regular meeting of the year
as a luncheon on Thursday, October
10, in the Sunday school room of the
Baptist Church.
Mrs. B. B. Ross opened the very
interesting program with a word of
prayer. Mr. Eearl Hazel, Auburn in­structor
in piano, rendered Eastwood
Lane's "Crapshooters," and Mr. John
W. Brigham, professor of music at
Auburn, sang "On the Wings of
Song," by Mendelssohn, and "My
Goal," by Ann Stratton.
The officers and chairmen of de­partments
and standing committees
were then introduced.
The speakers for the day were Mrs.
J. M. Burt of Opelika, fifth district
manager; Mrs. N. C. Peddy of Loach-apoka,
district chairman of music,
and president Loachapoka Club; Mrs.
Clara Yarbrough, district chairman of
scholarships; Mrs. Kenneth Kirkwood,
of Waverly, district chairman of mo­tion
pictures; Mrs. Zebulon Judd, dis­trict
chairman of county contest; Mrs.
Bradford Knapp, state chairman, de­partment
of the American home; Mrs.
S. L. Toomer, general federation, di­vision
chairman of home extension
and state chairman of home demon­stration;
and Mrs. L. W. Spratling, of
Waverly, tsate president of the Ala­bama
Council of Home Demonstration
Clubs.
Several of the speakers called par­ticular
attention to two objectives the
women's club is trying to reach:
first, increase of the scholarship fund,
of which the capital is now used as a
loan fund, into a fund large enough
so that the interest may be used for
scholarships and the principal kept
intact; and second, the placing of a
county home demonstration agent in
every county. This district already
has the best record of any district in
the State, having agents in all ex­cept
two counties.
After the reports and speeches the

Theta Alpha Phi Selects
Seven Members Players
Honorary Dramatic Fraternity
Is Reorganized On Campus
After a year of inactivity, Theta
Alpha Phi, honorary dramatic frater­nity,
became active again with the
announcement of seven pledges to
the dramatic honor group. All of the
pledges are prominent members of
the Auburn Players. They are as fol­lows:
Izola Williams, '30; Claribel
Parsons, '30; Jeff Miller, '32; Evelyn
Bryant, '31; Murff Hawkins, '31; L.
W. Thomas, '31; Margaret Lawrenz,
'31.
The dormancy of the fraternity
during last session was due to the
lack of proper facilities with which to
carry on the work which it sponsors.
This year, however, with a transfor­mation
of the Auburn Players from a
secondary society to a live, wide­awake
organization the outlook is
bright for Theta Alpha Phi.
At present S. D. Raines is the only
active student member of the honor
fraternity, and Dryden Baughman is
the only faculty representative.
NEW DRUG STORE
WILL OPEN SOON
Is Owned And Operated By
Hugh C. Dillon, Auburn
Alumnus

operated by Mr. Hugh C. Dillon, will
open 'the latter part of the week in
the building adjoining the Tiger
Theater. The store is in every way
modern throughout, the fixtures being
designed by the Georgia Showcase
Company of Montgomery. Mr. Dil­lon
was a member of the graduating
class of Auburn in 1921. Mr. Dillon
is formerly of Birmingham wKere he
operated a drug store until 1928
when he sold to Doster-Northington
Inc. He will be assisted in the man­agement
of his new store by Mr. Par­tridge,
of Auburn.

DRAMATIC SOCIETY
MAKES FIRST PUBLIC
APPEARANCE OCT. 14
"The Mirage" Is Appreciated
By Large Audience
ACTORS SHOW TALENT
Auburn Players Taking Rapid
Strides Under Direction Of
Prof. Shaver
The Auburn Players made their
first public appearance on Monday,
October 14, with a one act play, "The
Mirage", a tragedy of intense dra­matic
quality. A large and apprecia­tive
audience enjoyed the presenta­tion.
Every character was portrayed
ably.
The scene of the play is laid in the
Hopi Desert. A white man, lost on
the desert, meets with a Hopi Indian
tribe. Thirst causes him to lose his
mind, and, forgetting that he is mar­ried
to a white woman back in a civ­ilized
land, he falls in love with a
beautiful Indian princess. His wife
with her husband's friend comes on
the scene in search of antique pot­tery.
By means of a Greek inscrip­tion
on one of the relics the lost
man's identity is established. He
meets his wife and plans to return
with her, but his love for the Indian
princess and the desert delirium,
which has caught him in its grasp,
cause him to remain on the desert,
where he dies shortly afterwards.
The play was very ably directed by
Professor John Shaver, who came to
Auburn this year from Missouri,
where he gained a most enviable repu­tation
in Little Theater work.
Plans are materializing for making
this year the most auspicious in the
history of the Auburn Players. S. D.
Rains, president of the dramatic or­ganization,
in expressing his aims for
the club this year, said: "Auburn's
well-known Dramatic Organization
which includes the more proficient
group known as the Auburn Players,
is being transformed by a revolution
similar to that of the Music depart­ment
of this year. Heretofore, the
Players have unconsciously been ac­corded
a place in the background, in
fact, to a position of very secondary
importance, and the general public
has failed to appreciate their work,
primarily for the reason that the
Players have unintentionally neglect­ed
to invite intimacy with their audi­ence,
the public. So, to prompt and
promote the congenial relations that
should exist between the two factions,
the Players are openly discussing
their plans and ambitions for the
coming season and sincerely welcome
any suggestions that their critics
have to offer.
"The leader in Auburn's 'Dramatic
Revolution" is Prof. John Shaver,
who comes to Auburn with a very
creditable reputation. He is from
Missouri where he was director of the
little theatre movement there. Prof.
Shaver is indeed a "live wire". With
his leadership the Players cannot but
have a wonderful season. Of course,
this will make competition strong for
a place on the club.
"Each alternate Monday night at
8 o'clock the Players present two
short, one-act plays at their play­house,
which is contained in the Y.
W. C. A. building. The purpose of
this programme is, of course, to se­cure
the technique and "practical
points" for which the actor strives.
Unusual interest is being manifested
in dramatics this season. Many new
prospects have been added to the roll,
and more are coming. The Players
give them tryouts in the various prac­tice-
plays presented at the little
theatre, and if they qualify for mem­bership,
are extended bids.
"It is the Players' earnest desire
that the public of Auburn help pop­ularize
dramatics on the campus by
attending the bi-monthly presenta­tions."

Thoughtlessness
Will Prove Costly
At times it is best to not tell everything
that we know. There are occasions, how­ever,
when certain among us must give
vent to our baser thoughts in a manner
that bespeakes cowardice and vandalism. At
least it is not exactly the manly thing to do
to emblazon our penny thoughts on the
front streets under the cover of darkness.
We sometimes wonder if there is not an
element all too strong in the student body
who are continually striving to decapitate
those in authority; to doom to destruction
those things which are held dear by a loyal
student body; and to point with an accusing
finger and look with all too critical eyes
at the manner in which things are being
done.
This element is composed of a few who
are 'in' on all things pertaining to athletics
and administration and are,, therefore,
qualified to criticise and suggest constant
changes. This minority group who flaunt
their destructive and radical criticisms are
tending to recall the chaotic days of three
years past. We believe that no member of
the student body would yearn for a repeti­tion
of those trying times.
Just now there are men at the helm who
are pulling, pushing, and leading this in­stitution
to the forefront along all lines.
There are constant changes taking place,
for the^ man who knows the way realizes
that one good custom must not be allowed
to corrupt the whole.
The door of the President's office is open
for any student, faculty member or citizen.
At the desk is a man who will discuss prob­lems
with an open mind. He is in close
touch with every activity and is quick to
condemn those things which bring degreda-tion
and mistrust.
We are not attempting to call to the
reader's mind the virtues or abilities of
our leader. What we are asking is that we
as students know the facts—the three sides
to a problem before we discuss it among
ourselves, before we take any snap judg­ment
or advertise our personal animosities
before a misunderstanding and misinformed
public. *
Auburn Engineer
Rapidly Growing
The Auburn Engineer, although it has
been won the Campus for only four years,
has made remarkably rapid progress in the
field of engineering school magazines and
is now considered by many to be one of the
best in the country.
The first issue of the year goes to press
this week and will be a twenty-eight page
magazine with a total circulation of one
thousand as compared to the first issue of
twenty pages and a circulation of around
two hundred. The Auburn Engineer now
holds an associate membership in the E. C.
M. A., a national association of engineering
school magazines, and is petitioning for full
membership. This petition will be taken
•» under consideration at the convention to
be held shortly, and if accepted it will be
quite an honor gained as there are only
sixteen members of the association. Much
good will be derived from a membership
in this association as it sets certain stand­ards
which must be lived up to.
The contributions to the Engineer are
for the main part voluntary and it is here
that it can do the most good on the campus.
Too many engineering students think that
they are here only to learn that H20 is a
chemical symbol for water or that pipe
threads do not come on spools. They fail
to realize that they must learn how to ex­press
or explain a mechanical process clear­ly
and concisely on paper before they can
be adjudged anywhere near competent en­gineers
and the ability to do this comes
only with constant practice. A good oppor­tunity
for this practice is afforded by the
Auburn Engineer because an article must
be written and rewritten and worked into
top form before it is accepted for publica­tion.
The scope of the magazine is wide
and any happening of a technical nature
has a potential value as? an article. A man
who is interested in this sort of work is
naturally judged by others to be greatly in­terested
in engineering work and this fact
alone would be of much value when gradua­tion
draws near and the student begins to
look around for a job.
The Auburn Engineer holds forth an op­portunity
for the student to gain practice
in technical writing, learn a great deal
about the various engineering subjects
upon which he writes, and at the same time
build up a reputation for interest in engi­neering.
Too many of us fail to recognize
the importance of this field of learning
until it is too late, and, consequently, fail
to gain the full benefit of our four years
at college.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
It is evident that there are a few noble-minded
crusaders who are not afraid to
boldly point out the cause of our lack of
success in football thus far this season.
Rather than resort to the petty subterfuge
of openly and publicly expressing their
opinions these high-spirited prototypes of
the intellectual aristocracy of Auburn have
eloquently condemned, in flaming letters
scrawled upon the sidewalks, the official
laxity and pernicious system of nepotism
which have relegated Auburn to its present
inferior position among the educational in-stittuions
of the country. Let us all ap­plaud
the marked interpidity which these
brave souls exhibited in venturing forth
into the perils of the darkest hour before
dawn in order to consummate this admir­able
project. Imagine the pride with which
they can now recall the fortitude that en­abled
them to render Auburn this great
service.
Let us reconstruct the scene as it must
have occurred early Sunday morning—the
dark and deserted streets, the eerie stillness
of the night, the furtive, prowling figures
valorously plying the dripping paint-brush.
What a scene to stir the soul of one who
reveres the traditions of his school! Surely
Auburn is not yet lost which she can boast
such heroes as these. The fact that prepe-trators
of this act still conceal their identi­ties
behind the cloak of ananymity must be
ascribed to their natural modesty rather
than to any fear of reprisal. Certainly, be­fore
long, they will yield to the popular
demand and ste(p forth to receive the
plaudits of their admiring fellow-students.
With a perspicuity worthy of the highest
type of moron, with loyalty not exceeded
by that of Judas, with courage without par­allel
in the history of cowardice, these poor,
senseless, bifurcated animaculate have
struck at the crux of the situation. Foot­ball!—
the most important thing in the
world to us now—the complicated struc­ture
on which our educational system is so
precariously balanced. Listen to the plaint
of these moronic-minded weaklings—"We
want men on our football team!" Men, it is
to be presumed, with hair on their chests
and blood in their eye. He-men who chew
tobacco and spit on the floor. Men like
the vandals who have constantly been de­facing
Ramsay Hall ever since it has been
in use. I have no doubt that the men named
in this infamous proclamation are very
much embarrassed at the thought that
they may be the heroes of the type of
person capable of committing this outrage
against the good sense and decency of the
student body. They may rest assured, how­ever,
that Auburn men are too well ac­quainted
with their character and sports­manship
for any of them to suffer by the
individious comparison.
In parting, Mr. Editor, I cannot resist
an inclination to point out that the men
who committed this act of vandalism are
not so much responsible as the fallacious
educational system which places them in an
environment for which they are not men­tally
fitted. I know it is the fashion nowa­days
to strive for larger enrollment in in­stitutions
of higher learning but already we
have too many men at Auburn who are not
of college caliber. Were all students at
Auburn of mature mental statue such a
situation could never have arisen. It is too
reminiscent of the pranks of high school
students. However if Auburn ever attains
an enrollment of three thousand we will
then have, let us hope, a winning football
team and there will be no occasion for
such occurrences.
Yours for fewer and better students,
LLEWELLEN LADYFINGERS.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
Friday night was a
great night and I feel
that we made one
more step in advance.
Florida has one of the
strongest, most pow­erful
teams in t he
Southern Conference.
Unless I m i s s my
guess seriously, they
will be a contender
for the championship this year. Against
such a team as that, our team made one
of the most gallant fights I have ever seen.
I hear it on every hand. Old graduates
who have been inclined to be critical have
written me or told me personally in the
last two days that if the team keeps on
fighting like that, they certainly are going
to be encouraged. Individual men on that
team put forth a supreme effort and the
whole team played a great game. Let us
admit that it was not a perfect game. Team
work is not yet perfect, but we are coming
in that direction. There is a great strain
upon all of us. The thing that I am plead­ing
for is to keep our minds on the main
thing and forget the little personal or di­verting
incidents which are apt to upset our
keeping our eyes on the great objective.
This is a great group of fellows who are
playing for us and if they keep up that
fighting spirit, we shall all be proud of
them and I think we shall win. They play­ed
against a better team than Clemson in
my judgment, particularly against a heavy,
fast team with a wonderful set of back
field players. The boys are fine. They are
more nearly together than they have been
for a long time. Let's go.
* * * * *
We ought all of us to be proud of that
freshman team. Freshmen, we are all
proud of you. That was a fine game and a
great credit to old Auburn. I want to thank
you for the splendid effort you put forth.
It inspires us with a feeling of pride and
confidence.
* :;: * * *
On every hand I have heard excellent
comments over the appearance and appoint­ment
of the student body at the game Fri­day
night. The boys in uniform looked fine
and the crowd universally admired them.
The band as usual made a great showing.
The yelling was better than usual. I have
heard old graduates who sat in the opposite
stands say that the student body was surely
as fine as it could be. It is worth a lot to
hear these words of praise as to what the
student body is doing. Does it not fill you
with a sense of satisfaction to have your
very appearance and demeanor attract the
confidence of the people of the state?
Altogether the deportment of the student
body last Friday night was excellent in
every way and it ought to be a source of
pride and satisfaction to all of us that that
was the case.
" L i t t l e T h i n g s"
By Tom Bigbee
Endurance records in driving cars, fly­ing
airplanes, perching on a pole, rocking
in a chair, and many others have been set;
yet none of them were captured, or even
participated in by college students. Con­trary
to the common idea, we must admit
that not all the fools in the country are
frequenters of college halls.
A few days back one of our co-column­ists
made the statement that it was not a
sin for a student to traverse the walks or
streets without noticing those he passed,
or not speaking to them. To this we agree;
but we would have you keep in mind that
neither is it a mark of degradation for
you to speak to every man you pass.
We are a democratic body, having come
here for a common purpose—that of gain­ing
technical training. If this isn't our
true mission, the.n we are at the wrong
place. Why should we attempt to class our­selves?
This is a feature of ancient times,
which proved to be a failure.
Oftentimes the man who holds his head
highest, dresses the flashiest, and tries to
carry a lofty air with him, is the cheapest!
Pick out the common man, with a common
interest in those about him, and you have
the man who contributes heavily to the
basic welfare of the world.
Snobbishness is a thing that has no com­fortable
place on the Auburn campus.
"Without knowing much about available
football material, we nominate for fullback
on the All-American team an interstate
bus."
"Fly-It-Yourself" is the latest thing in
aviation. And no doubt a lot of people will
fall for it.
The things you read in this column are
listed as "little things", and perhaps they
bear out the title given well. But often­times
the very things which we measure
out as little, really are the biggest in the
final analysis. And even some little things
cannot be totally ignored too long. Think
it over.
The world moves from West to East—
if you don't like it get on the moon: it goes
the other way.

members said they had no desire to
destroy the old baseball maxim "you can't
hit 'em when you can't see 'em", was re­inforced
by six new arrivals. Most of the
hold-overs had been requested to appear
because of deficient memories regarding
songs and cheers, while the new men were
lending their presence to the gathering be­cause
of violations of the regular freshman
rules and general grossness.
It's different here; our freshmen don't
appear to have any rule whatsoever—at
least a vast number continue to do just as
they please. Our Vigilance Committee
seems to be rather busy at present with
other problems, but we still have hopes.

TABOO ON HAZING AT COLUMBIA
Twenty years of reform-minded under­graduate
effort bore fruit for decorum at
Columbia College recently when the sopho­more

abolition of freshmen hazing. Peanut roll­ing,
penny pushing, and toothpick rowing,
is was proclaimed, are henceforth not only
unworthy but illegal, and passe besides.
Frosh won't have to Charleston and ca­vort
on demand any more and row imagin­ary
shells to victory over imaginary op­ponents
on an imaginary river. The crew
is certain to suffer, it was said in some
quarters with a worried shake of the head.
"Professor Rogers is right," muttered
irate students, "the whole country is going
sissy. Might as well give up and put on
Buster Brown collars and pink bows."
As a concession for anti-abolitionists, the
committee will still require frosh to wear
cute black longshoremen's caps with white
buttons and to forego all but black neck­wear.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions express­ed
in this column are not necessarily the
editorial opinions of this paper. It is a
column of personal comment, and is not to
be read as an expression of our editorial
policy.
IN RUSSIA, when the masses become
displeased with someone in power, they
toss a bomb under him. In Chicago the
unfortunate one is punctured with machine
gun bullets. Either of which is more spor­tive
than the manner in which Auburn deals
with its unfavorites. Likewise, in the form­er
two places as well as in Auburn, these
modes of disposition are not expressions of
the majority, but of a few semi-insane en­thusiasts
who have no place in society.
The painting of insulting remarks about
the atheltic coach on the sidewalks of Au­burn
Saturday night is the most despicable
occurrence this writer has ever known. It
is the most unfair, ungentlemanly act that
supposedly civilized persons may inflict
upon other persons. Any student capable
of doing such cowardly deeds should be ex­pelled
unconditionally from this school and
blacklisted in every other school. If it were
discovered who the students were that did
the sign painting act, they would doubtless
excuse themselves by shamefacedly blurt­ing
out that they just didn't think. There
is no excuse for not thinking when other
peoples rights to justice are concerned.
Any person of such moronic tendencies is
not capable of thinking.
I am quite sure that some bright-eyed
optimist is going to write a nice little edi­torial
containing all sorts of tripe about the
low-brows not being students, but town
folk. Well, that will sound good, but will
be purely buncomb.
Every student in this institution has a
perfect right to any opinion he wishes to
have, but he is bound as a gentleman, to
express them, if he wishes, in a gentleman­ly
manner. Although I do not know them,
I regret that I am in the same college with
such underhanded hoodlums. And such is
teh opinion of all but a half-dozen or so of
the other students in Auburn.
NEWS COMES to us that a movement
has been born to organize another
club here composed of boys from a
certain city. Birmingham, I believe it is
this time. Great! Why not organize a half
a dozen or so? There could be one for the
Birmingham boys who are left handed,
one for the boys who part their hair on the
left side, one for those with heavy beards
and many others. Then you could elect
yourselves a president, vice-president, sec­ond
vice-president, third vice-president and
fourteen kinds of secretaries; draw up a
nice set of by-laws and settle upon some
sort of very original key to wear on your
watch chain. You might even have your
picture taken as a group and clutter up the
Glomerata with it. Have your first meet­ing,
write it up and have it published in the
Plainsman. Be sure to write a story about
that first meeting, because there will, in
all probabiliay, be no more than that first
meeting.
We must forever be joining something.
Why? We" are Americans and what would
we sons and daughters of freedom do if
we could not joing anything? A great deal
better, probably.

THE SUNDAY movies have not arrived
as yet. In looking back over the files,
I see the jaberings of my faithful
cohorts, which number only two as far as I
am able to discover. One of them is Tom
Bigbee and the other calls himself A Fresh­man.
We three are a great team. The dash­ing
abandon with which Mr. Bigbee applies
his silver pointed pen is indeed comforting.
The earnestness of A Freshman's heart-fetching
appeal is certainly gratifying.
To prove to you that my haloed confed­erate
is actually trying to save you wicked
persons who would attend a Sunday show,
here is a bit of his letter . . ."Turn from
your evil ways companions. You can never
hurt yourself trying to be better. They call
me a fool, a pessimist and many things else,
but my arm is still extended to them. My
prayers are still for them and, as are many
citizens of the town, I am trying to influ­ence
them to go in the path that leads to
God". . . . There now, don't you see we
love you?
To A Freshman, I can only say this: Son,
you have surely got yourself some religion.
I can honestly say that I did not know
there was a person like that left in the
world. But swing on to it, you'll need it,
especially if you ever take advanced ac­counting.
FROM "A LOVER SINCE CHILDHOOD"
Give then a thought for me
Walking so miserably,
Wanting relief in the friendship of flower
or tree;
Do but remember, we
Once could in love agree.
Swallow your pride, let us be as we used
to be. —Robert Graves.

TIGERS LOSE TO 'GATORS 190IN
NIGHT GAME IN CRAMTON BOWL
Florida's driving backs and Dale
Van Sickel conspired against Auburn
for three periods Friday night and an
apparently over-rated 'Gator eleven
except in the ball carrying depart­ment,
defeated the Tigers, 19 to 0.
This was the lowest score Auburn
has held the Florida gridders to since
1917 when Auburn licked them 68 to
0. This was the largest score Auburn
made during that season. The Au­burn
Tigers only lost two games that
season. One to Georgia Tech and one
to Davidson.
The Galloping 'Gators from Gaines­ville
scored in the first, second and
third periods but the substitute back-field
with only Captain Rainey Caw-thon
in the battle which played the
entire half did not flash the astound­ing
power that the varsity runners
packed to win a ragged game.
Van Sickel stayed out of the game
exactly ten minutes and then charged
in to relieve Green at left end. He
was not expected to take part in the
game, because of the recent death of
his father, but Van took part because
it was the wish of his father that he
play.
It required Florida just eight
minutes to push the oval across Au­burn's
scoring stripe, but it happened
that the pushing was done from mid-field
to the 30-yard line and from
this point a young athlete by the
name of Crabtree faked a toss to
Bethea, then tucked the oval under
his wing, shook off Captain Long and
a flock of Plainsmen and sprinted un­touched
across the north goal.
Crabtree ran his team faultlessly.
The famed Notre Dame shift clicked
with the smoothness of a greased pis­ton
and the power injected into these
pistons was too much for the lighter
Tiger team.
Crabtree's beautiful journey of
thirty yards in the first period fea­tured
a Florida offensive that swept
all before it, except Harkins, Auburn
center, whose tackling and charging
was the outstanding bit of line play
during the after-dark duel. Harkins
roamed from flank to flank, took a
man-sized beating, but came up and
carried on with the heart of a lion.
The "slumbering giant" from the
Plains clearly demonstrated that he
has been aroused but his strength is
still missing. His alertness is lacking.
It was the lack of alertness that en­abled
a wide open Florida pass,
Bethea to Van Sickel to net a second
touchdown early in the second quar­ter.
The Tiger had just a few mo­ments
before been tested and the
mighty thrusts of the heavier 'Gators
were frustrated on the Tiger eight-yard
line. After kicking out of dan-

GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE
= = = By OSWALD ^ ^ — =
The red-helmeted, red-faced boys who comprise Georgia's Bull­dog
team flashed a dazzling offense and a steady defense in defeating
Yale Saturday. The sporting world as a whole was electrified as it
realized that the score was fifteen flashing red points to a blue
zero. This score will be written into gridiron history as an eternal
monument to the lads from Georgia—and was a fitting climax to
the dedication of Georgia's new and majestic stadium, Sanford Field.
35,000 people witnessed the game. Vernon (Catfish) Smith rose to
the heights we prophesied sometime back and he was ably assisted by
Rothstein, who displayed remarkable ability at intercepting passes.
But the credit shouldn't go to any one individual for the team was
fighting as a man and the victory was a tribute to youth who would be
served. However North Carolina University is next and another chap­ter
may be written of an entirely different kind.

North Carolina spotted Georgia
Tech to a touchdown and then won
a football game from the Golden Tor­nado,
18 to 7. And this gentlemen,
was accomplished on Grant field. The
Tech touchdown electrified the North
Carolina offense and a conflagration
swept over the once mighty team from
'Tech flats. Johnny Branch, sopho­more
quarterback for North Carolina,
was the most dramatic figure on the
field Friday. Branch is one of the
smoothest ball carriers in the confer­ence
and brought the fans of both
sections to their feet, cheering madly,
when he raced 60 yards for a touch­down.
However, Branch had plenty
of talented company in the backfield,
including Magner, Ward, Nash,
Spaulding and Maus. And don't for­get
that the terrible Carolina line—
the largest in the conference—was a
vital factor in stopping Tech cold.
Statistics show that N. C. earned 9
first downs to Tech's 6; advanced ball
from scrimmage 228 yards to Tech's
183; completed 8 out of 16 passes
against Tech's 6 out of 19. It looks
as if Tech is in for a very disastrous
season.

Coach Wallace Wade's Crimson
Tide swamped the Chattanooga Moc­casins
Saturday 46 to 0, unleashing a
lashing line attack and a brilliant open
field exhibition. The first string men
were only given a brief workout but
Tony Holm and Captain Hicks both
scored. The reserves scored in every
period thereafter. Ben Smith and Joe
Bush figured conspicuously for the re­serves.
Holm again proved the big
gun and he succeeded in garnering
the initial touchdown, single handed,
when he toted the oval 7 times for 51
yards and a touchdown. He was then
pulled out of the game. Wade used
every member included on the roster
in defeating the Moccasins. The score
cauld easily have been a hundred to
0. Coach Wade's team is clicking and
is primed for Tennessee next Satur­day.
It will doubtless be just too bad
for Tennessee.

A sturdy team from Tennessee who
comprise the "Volunteer" outfit swept
Homer Hazel's Mississippi eleven off
their feet and finished up 52 to 7 in
a game Saturday that was simply
Tennessee all the way. "Ole Miss"
played with that beaten spirit that
marks a team entering a fray against
a superior foe. After the first touch­down
the rest was just mechanical
with Eugene McEver way out in the
front of the Neyland parade. He was
responsible for four touchdowns.
Hackman put in most of his work on
defense but in the opening minutes of
the fourth quarter ran 67 yards for
his one touchdown. Statistics show
that Neyland used his full strength
two-thirds of the game, completed 10
first downs to Ole Miss's 6 and com­pleted
4 out of 6 passes.

Tulane, playing most of the game
with second and third string backs
and starting without their two horse­men—
Banker and Armstrong—smoth­ered
Mississippi A. & M. 34 to 0 last
Saturday. Every Greenie but the
water-boy was used. However Mis­sissippi
was crippled by the lost of
their vaunted Pappenheimer early in
the second quarter, but it was obvious
that the justly famous ball carrier,
couldn't have relieved the situation
much even had he remained in the
game. Banker, the blond blizzard,
raced for two touchdowns the short
time he was in the game. Dalrymple,
a great end (remember what we said
about him the first of the season)
smeared the Aggies all over the field
and also took a 30-yard pass from
Banker and ran for a touchdown.
Seeuws, regular fullback, was never
even inserted into the game. Truly
Tulane is justifying our predictions
when we selected them above Tennes­see
in the mad scramble.
Spicer and "Shipwreck" Kelly,
members of the Wildcat aggregation
from Kentucky, showed Washington
and Lee how it was done Saturday
when Kentucky smashed its way to
a 20 to 6 victory. Spicer carried the
ball five times for 35 yards and a
touchdown. Kelly broke through
right tackle for the most spectacular
play of the day and ran through a
broken field for 63 yards. L. S. U.
coupled with a set of swift, side-step­ping
backs defeated Sewanee 27 to
14 in a wide-open battle Saturday.
Pennsylvania's big red and blue elev­en
narrowly averted defeat at the
hands of a fighting team from Vir­ginia
Poly and only succeeded in win­ning
by the score of 14 to 8. Vandy
made a splendid showing against Min­nesota
and could have probably beat­en
one Gopher team but not all of
them. The McGuginites were finally
crushed 15 to 6. Brute force simply
triumphed over science and courage.
Clemson experienced little difficulty
in disposing of N. C. State 26 to 0.
Auburn gave Florida a stiff battle
and the 'Gators had to be content with
a 19 to 0 victory. Young and Har­kins,
-for the Plainsmen, put up a
splendid fight but those backfield men
of Florida's looked invincible.

In the Third Intramural game of
the season, the outcome was identical
to the two preceding • games. The
First Battalion outplayed the Third
throughout the game but were un­able
to gain ground when necessary.
Both scores of the game were not
gained through hard playing but by
taking advantage of the breaks. Dur­ing
the entire game fumbles were
frequent and the 1st Battalion inter­cepted
three attempted passes.
The first half of the game was un­interesting
but things began to hap­pen
at the beginning of the second
half, and continued to do so during
this entire period. On the kick-off,
of the second half, Hall for the
Third, received the kick-off and ran
eighty yards for the initial touch­down.
This was the prettiest run
that has been seen on this field in
quite a while. Several men were able
to overcome the lead he gained but
were unable to catch him after doing
so.
The aerial attack of the First Bat­talion
was the outstanding feature of
the game. During the game they at­tempted
fifteen passes, seven of
which were completed and three were
intercepted by the Third Battalion.
The First threatened on several oc­casions
to win by means of these
passes but were unable to complete
them at the critical moment.
Hall, Holliefield and Crouch were
the outstanding players for the First
Battalion while Hall, Moore and
Jones at tackles were the luminaries
for the Third.

FRESHMEN TURN BACK FLORIDA
RATS 20-7 IN FINE GRID BATTLE
By Rhodes Wasson
The Tiger cubs of Auburn took the
junior team of the Swampy State
down in defeat while the varsity Ti­gers
were losing to the 'Gators. In
six games that the Tiger cubs and
the Florida freshmen have played this
is the first time that the Auburn
freshmen have come out on the win­ning
end of the score. This makes
the second victory for McFaden's cubs
and this one was more emphatic as
well as being more important than the
first title of the season.
A powerful cub eleven led by Brown
and Parker carried the Florida team
to a whipping that was creditable in
every way. They outplayed the Flori­da
team in every bracket of the game
and they were relentless in their on­slaught
during the entire game.
It took but six minutes of playing
to show the Florida team that Au­burn
would carry away the honors of
the day. Brown fought the Florida
line to carry the ball over the goal
for the first touchdown of the day.
During this period Brown showed his
ability as a fighting, slashing, tire­less
football machine. In the second
bracket of the game Parker passed
thirteen yards to Hitchcock who ran
five to carry the ball over for the
second step towards the defeat of
Florida.
In the third quarter, after the game
was slowed down by a rainstorm, Par­ker
broke through the entire Florida
line to carry the oval 72 yards, for
the final score for Auburn. Parker
kicked the extra point and put the
score 20 to 7, Florida having made
their lone score in the first period.
Cherry, Florida's left-end, received
a fifty yard pass that put the ball on
Auburn's seven yard line, paving the
way for Florida's only rally which
kept them from getting "whitewash­ed".
The try for extra point was un­successful,
but Auburn was off-side
and the point was awarded.
The Florida coach made numerous
substitutions but was unable to get
together a winning group from his
entire squad. McFaden, playing
safe, ran his first string men up un­til
the last minutes of the game. Au­burn
made eleven first downs to the
'Gator's ten but the game was more
in Auburn's favor than this indicates.
Lineup for Auburn, (20) : Mason,

Coach Hutsell Begins
Ninth Year at Helm
Auburn Track Artists
By Elmer G. Salter
Wilbur Hutsell, well-known and
well-liked track mentor and football
trainer, and dean of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute coaching staff,
is beginning his ninth year at the
helm of the Plainsmen cinder- teams.
Coach Hutsell has established a rec­ord
at Auburn that very few coaches
in the country have equalled. During
the eight years he has coached the
Tiger thinly-clad artists, they have
lost only two dual meets, and have
established six southern records.
Some of his former stars at Auburn
who have gained international track
fame are: Euil Snider, Weems Bas­kin,
Percy Beard, Bobby Locke, Duke
Marquis and Carson Green.
The genial trainer and track coach
is a graduate of the University of
Missouri. Track was the only sport
in which he participated at the Mis­souri
school. Upon his graduation, he
assisted the Missouri atheltic authori­ties
as coach for eighteen months.
Upon establishing himself in the
realm of sports as one of the most
promising coaches in the game, he
was selected as track coach for the
Missouri Athletic Association at St.

A greater number of press rep­resentatives
were at this game than
any preceding one. They wanted to
see how Auburn would stand up
against the Southern Conference con­tender
and they all seemed well sat
isfied with the showing made by Au­burn.
The biggest crowd that has wit­nessed
a night football game in Mont­gomery
was present at the game
last week end. Everyone seemed very
well pleased with the results.
Young and Hatfield showed up as
well under the conditions in the game
as did the All Americans, Van Sickel
and Crabtree. With the same inter­ference
and line there is no doubt
that they would have done just as well
if not better than these men did.

good game at his new posi­tion

lecture was delivered by a member of
the veterinary class of '23, who is
now practicing in a small Alabama

about animals as he does football he

The spirit of Auburn predominated
during the earlier stages of the game
on the opposite side of the field. This
"spirit" was destroyed, not by the
Florida victory but by a State Traffic
officer.

ran have cooperated in offering
$3,000 as a prize for a campus novel
prize contest, a story of college life
by the college generation. The con­test
is open to all college boys and
girls enrolled in American colleges

college people; it must be a story of
youth seen through the eyes of its
own generation.
The sum of $3,000 is for the right
to serialize the story in College Hu­mor
and to publish it in book form,
and will be in addition to all royalties
accruing from the book publication.
Motion picture and dramatic rights
will remain with the author.
Both the book and the magazine
publishers reserve the right to pub­lish
in book and serial form, accoi-d-ing

ger the Tiger momentarily weakened
and Cawthon, Goodbread and Bethea
hit the Tiger line like locomotives
until Crabtree signalled Bethea back
to toss a pass.
Bethea, who shared the offensive
glory with the Cannonball, faked his
pass to the right side of his line as
Van Sickel darted unmolested into
the dark area of the southeast side of
the quadrange. Van took the heave
of ten yards and strolled over. The
try for point went wild.
Crawford and Hatfield, a splendid
serial combination began maneuver­ing
their trickery but it was soon
beaten down by the charging 'Gator
forwards. A series of underhand
spins featured the late attack of Au­burn
and only two minutes remain­ed
in the second period before the
Tigers had made the necessary yard­age
for their first down.
Florida began its drive early in the
third period. Cawthon, McEwen,
Smith and Dorsett were in the back-field
and Nolan was at Hall's right
end. It was Nolan who took a fif­teen-
yard heave from McEwen and
squirmed over the goal line for the
last scoring effort of the tussle.
With this 19 to 0 score staring
them in the faces the Auburn boys
came to life. Leo Young, especially,
and this youngster shared the run­ning
glory of the evening with Crab­tree
and the other greats. It was his
25-yard wriggle, a sensational bit of
individual stepping that punctured
the hide of a tough 'Gator but failed
to get blood. An aroused Florida line
charged an aerial effort on the part
of the Auburn backs and what ap­peared
to be a certain score was lost.
But Auburn carried the sphere to
Florida's seven-yard line before it
was lost on downs.
Slob Chappelle, hard-working full­back,
played a great game behind an
inexperienced and uncertain forward
wall. He carried the oval for needed
short gains on several occasions. Jim
Crawford passed with all the daring
and accuracy of a Friedman but the
receivers were unable to hug the
white prize. ,
Florida's shift and delayed bucks
did not seem to worry the Tigers but
the endless pounding of the 'Gator
backs beat back the game band from
the Village.

Florida team at all times. Coach Mc-

season is expected.
* * * * :i=
We feel jubilant over the succes we
had last week in predicting futures.
We predicted 15 games and won 13
and lost two, one game being predict­ed
as a tie. We predicted that the
Auburn Rat game would be 19 to 7
and as you know it ended 20 to 7.
We picked 4 correct scores and had
the relative ratio down to a fine point
in 6 games. We further predicted the
downfall of Ga. Tech correctly but
was rather surprised when Georgia
defeated Yale although we had said
that the score would be small in Yale's
favor.
"Oswald" Predicts
Facing us this week is a task that
is enough to make anyone weep. Just
glance over the schedule. But here
goes. We expect to see Florida give
Tech her second defeat of the year.
Florida hasn't unleashed herself yet
and has been prepping for this game
for two years. It will be hard fought
though and triere is no expectation
that Florida will run wild. We see lit­tle
hope that Georgia will defeat
North Carolina University. The Tar­heels
are much better than Yale, and
it just isn't practical that the Bull­dogs
will have the same zeal they had
against Yale. A game that will be
essentially a grudge battle will be Ala­bama
vs. Tennessee, to be played in
Knoxville. Last Saturday's games
prove nothing. Alabama seldom used
her full strength while Tennessee did.
Both teams are about even but we
expect to see Alabama and Tony Holm
come plunging through. Auburn will
give the McGuginites from Vander­bilt
a hard fight and may surprise the
Conference.
We predict scores as follows:
Auburn 13—Vanderbilt 12.
Alabama 20—Tennessee 13.
• Clemson 27—Wofford 0.
Duke 6—Navy 26.
Florida 19—Ga. Tech 13.
Georgia 7—N. Carolina U. 13.
Kentucky 39—Carson-Newman
L. S. U. 13—Miss A. & M. 7.
Maryland 27—Gallaudet 0.
N. C. State 13—Wake Forest 6.
Ole Miss 7—Loyola 6.
Sewanee 20—Cumberland 0.
S. Carolina 33—Presbyterian 0.
Tulane 45—Southwest La. 0.
Virginia 7—V. M. I. 14.
V. P. I. 19—Wm. and Mary 0.
W. & L. 10—W. Virginia 19.

Louis. He held this position until the
beginning of the World War. Later
he served his country as camp ath­letic
director, being stationed at Camp
Beauregard, La., Camp Cody, New
Mexico, and Camp Devins, Mass.
Following the Armistice, Coach
Hutsell was selected by the Birming­ham
Atheltic Club as physical direc­tor.
He held this position for two
years and resigned to accept the place
offered him by the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute as head track coach.
During his first year at the Plains,
Coach Hutsell inaugurated the an­nual
Cotton States basket ball tour­nament
which is one of the outstand­ing
tourneys below the Mason-Dixon
line. This tournament brings together
some of the best teams in the cotton
belt. The winners always receive in­vitations
to participate in Alonzo
Stagg's tourney which has as its par­ticipants
the leading basket ball teams
in the United States. Vienna, Simp­son
and Tech High are high school
quintets that have won the Auburn
meet who have made brilliant show­ings
in the national tournament.
One of the greatest honors that
can be bestowed upon a track coach
was given Coach Hutsell in 1928 when
he was selected as assistant track
coach for the American Olympic
team. Coach Hutsell was given the
task of tutoring the 1600 meter re­lay
team. He was amply rewarded for
his services spent with this team as
they won for the United States a
first place, one of the few won by the
Yankees. His wonderful relay team
set a record of 3.14:2 in winning the
1600 meter race.
In addition to serving as coach of
the cinder artists, Coach Hutsell
coached the Orange and Blue hard­wood
five for three seasons, having
successful years while he was at the
helm.
Like most all other successful
coaches, Wilbur Hutsell has had his
ups and downs but has weathered the
storm, and is now one of the most
popular members of the Auburn fac­ulty.
He has been elected by the
members of the Blue Key and Omi-cron
Delta Kappa to active member­ship
since coming to the Loveliest
Village. To show their appreciation
for his valuable services, the Auburn
students sent him to the Olympic
meet in 1924.
