Several Promotions of Auburn Grads Are Announced There are ninety-eight Auburn alumni now in the service of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, the headquarters of the system in Atlanta has announced; some of the recent promotions of Auburn men employed by the company have been announced also. H. S. Dumas, '11, has been appointed General Traffic Supervisor of the Southern Bell Company, and will from now on make his headquarters in Atlanta. For some time past Mr. Dumas has been Superintendent of Traffic for the State of Alabama, having his headquarters at Birmingham, but now he will have supervision over the giving of telephone service throughout the nine states in which his company operates. The announcement stated that this appointment has come to Mr. Dumas in recognition of his ability and it makes him one of the important staff officers at the company's general headquarters. H. G. Bartee, '21, who for some time has been Outside Plant Engineer for the State of Georgia, has recently been promoted to a position on the General Engineering Staff, in which lie will devote his time to a new field of relationships between the Telephone Company and the various power companies which are planning to use the communication facilities of the company in the handling of their line dispatching work and other fqrms of communication. T. G. Dowe, '24, has also recently received a more responsible position through his appointment as Exchange Plant Engineer for the State of Louisiana to which he has been assigned since leaving Auburn. All three of these men made their entrance_s to the Telephone organization through the Company's General Training Course, which is carried on each year in Atlanta. 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. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB IS ORGANIZED HERE BY PROFESSOR BRIGHAM New Organization Is Composed Of Sixteen Members 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. Bankers Association To Meet Here Oct. 16 Col. John C. Persons, Of Birmingham, Will Speak The quarterly meeting of the Chattahoochee Valley Bankers Association will be held at Auburn, October 16, starting at 7 p. m. S. L. Ttfomer, president of the Bank of Auburn, is president of the Association. With the help of Felton Little, W. D. Martin, and G. H. Wright, Auburn bankers, President Toomer is arranging for the Auburn meeting. The visitors will be welcomed to Auburn by Dr. Bradford Knapp-. By special invitation, Col. John C. Persons, president of the American Traders National Bank, Birmingham, will speak. Col. Persons recently attended the annual convention of the American Bankers Association in San Francisco, and will bring to the bankers of this section a report of that meeting. A musical program is being arranged by Prof. John W. Brigham, head of the new department of music at Auburn, Mrs. Mary Drake Askew, and other musicians. The Association is composed of bankers in seven counties of Alabama and two in Georgia. Auburn's Coeds Are Observing Rat Rules For the first time in history the coeds have joined in keeping up the Auburn Spirit by observing rat rules placed upon them by the upper classmen. Every new coed is wearing a green ribbon all this week to signify her class. Other rules are being placed upon the coeds, such as eating with a knife, carrying suit cases, wearing different colored stockings, and carrying bricks to class with them. SHOWS GREAT PROMISE Male Glee Club Also Making Remarkable Progress The Girls Glee Club will begin re hearsing next week according to a statement by Professor Brigham. The new organization is composed of sixteen members and contains much promising material for a brilliant and successful year, according to Professor Brigham. The young ladies in the club are Dabney Hare, Marguerite Cromartie, Ruth Frisbie, Frances Moore, Jean Funchess, Catherine Porter, Myriam Moore, Abegaile Brasseale, Helen Shackleford, Nora Roth-rock, Burnice Pruitt, Mary Louise Earnest, Rosa May Pate, Pauline Watkins, Alice Sandlin, and Mary Cauthen. The Men's Glee Club is also making remarkable progress and expects to give a concert sometime in February, stated Professor Brigham. Professor Brigham, with Mr. Earl Hazel accompanist, will entertain at the Tutwiler Sunday afternoon with a recital. They also expect to give a recital in Langdon Hall soon, but no definite date has been decided upon. Plans for a community choir are now being formulated by Mrs. W. W. Hill. Details of the organization will be discussed at a meeting of a committee with Mrs. Hill as chairman to be held today. It is expected that the choir will be composed of the best local talent, including prominent members of the various church choirs. Auburn Tackles Commodores In The Magic City Auburn Won Last Game With Vandy By Score of 10-9 Mother-Dad Day Plans Now Nearly Completed Many Attractive Features On Program For Day * Arrangements for Mother and Dad's Day to be held Oct. 25th, the day of the Auburn-Howard football game have been completed, announced Streeter Wiatt, chairman of the student committee on the program. On arrival in Auburn the parents will report to the registration booth on.the front steps of Langdon Hall, and register. This booth will be open from 9:00 o'clock until 11:00 o'clock. At 11:00 o'clock there will be a review of the R. O. T. C. unit on Drake Field. After the Review everyone will adjourn for lunch. The Auburn- Howard game which is the main attraction of the day will be played on Drake Field at 2:30 in the afternoon. Through special arrangements with the Athletic Department, all parents accompanied by students showing athletic books at the gate will be admitted for fifty cents. A lawn party to be given at 7:30 P. M. will conclude the festivities tendered the mothers and dads for the day. This is the first time that such a day as this has been held here, but in the future it will be a regular college holiday. It may not necessarily come in the Fall again, but it will be held sometime during the college year. Below is a card which students are urged to fill out at once and leave at either of the places indicated. This information is very necessary to the committee making arrangements for rooms.

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- (Continued on page 4) 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 (Continued on page 4) 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 The Dillon Drug Store, owned and 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. YMCA Normal Groups Hold Opening Meetings The Y. M. C. A. Normal discussion groups began Monday night, as announced by A. W. Headly. These groups meet every Monday night at 6:30 in the "Y" office and discuss problems of current interest on the campus. The best group and its group leader are given free tickets to the annual "Y" Banquet in December. Pi Kappa Phi Gives Smoker For Pledges The Pi Kappa Phi pledges entertained representatives of the other fraternities at a smoker Monday evening. The principal form of entertainment was an act put on by Thitty Mc- Fadden and three black-faced comedians. Notice To Students The special train for the Vandy game will leave Auburn at 6:30 Saturday morning. The tickets will cost four dollars and sixty-eight cents ($4.68) for the round trip. They may be used on trains leaving Thursday afternoon and Friday. The return special will leave Birmingham Saturday night at nine o'clock. Tickets are good on all return trains through Sunday. Coach Bohler stated that tickets for the game will be exchanged for coupons free of charge until Thursday at five o'clock. There will be no classes Saturday in order that all students may go to the game who wish to do so. NOTICE PLAINSMAN STAFF There will be a meeting of the Editorial Staff Friday night at 6:30 P. M. at the Y. M. C. A. It is very important that all members of the staff be present at this meeting as plans for improvement'are under way and everyone needs to be acquainted with them. 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."

Much favorable comment was heard. —again remarks on the fine show of sportsmanship displayed by the students at the game. 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. '% AUBURN FOOTPRINTS % Maybe we've been wrong.

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.

WELL, I'D SAY THIS 'By aAaron ^Billowheel 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.

TAYLOR, Associate Editor Elmer G. Salter, Contributor; Rhodes Wasson, Harry Barnes, Charles Trice, Tad McCallum, Assistants D 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.

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.

Everything for the Home and Fraternity House TOOMER'S WILL GIVE YOU SERVICE DRUG SUNDRIES DRINKS, SMOKES THE STORE OF SERVICE AND QUALITY ON THE CORNER 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. . :t :i: £ * 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. * :!: * * * Our hats are off to the baby Tigers.

Wasson 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.

AUBURN WOMAN'S CLUB HOLDS FIRST MEETING (Continued from page 1) following visitors were introduced: Mrs. T. D. Samford of Opelika; Mrs. Frank Wilmore; Mrs. Mamie Sprat-ling of New Orleans; Miss Sallie Hamilton; Miss WJlliford; and Mrs. Bowman. The past presidents, Mrs. Judd, Mrs. C. A.

Also Sodas (Continued from page 3) 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.

') GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE (Continued from page 3) and were a serious menace to the Florida team at all times. Coach Mc- Faden's team is assuming proportions that certainly look good. A victorious 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. (Continued from page 3) 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.

Several Promotions of Auburn Grads Are Announced There are ninety-eight Auburn alumni now in the service of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, the headquarters of the system in Atlanta has announced; some of the recent promotions of Auburn men employed by the company have been announced also. H. S. Dumas, '11, has been appointed General Traffic Supervisor of the Southern Bell Company, and will from now on make his headquarters in Atlanta. For some time past Mr. Dumas has been Superintendent of Traffic for the State of Alabama, having his headquarters at Birmingham, but now he will have supervision over the giving of telephone service throughout the nine states in which his company operates. The announcement stated that this appointment has come to Mr. Dumas in recognition of his ability and it makes him one of the important staff officers at the company's general headquarters. H. G. Bartee, '21, who for some time has been Outside Plant Engineer for the State of Georgia, has recently been promoted to a position on the General Engineering Staff, in which lie will devote his time to a new field of relationships between the Telephone Company and the various power companies which are planning to use the communication facilities of the company in the handling of their line dispatching work and other fqrms of communication. T. G. Dowe, '24, has also recently received a more responsible position through his appointment as Exchange Plant Engineer for the State of Louisiana to which he has been assigned since leaving Auburn. All three of these men made their entrance_s to the Telephone organization through the Company's General Training Course, which is carried on each year in Atlanta. 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. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB IS ORGANIZED HERE BY PROFESSOR BRIGHAM New Organization Is Composed Of Sixteen Members 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. Bankers Association To Meet Here Oct. 16 Col. John C. Persons, Of Birmingham, Will Speak The quarterly meeting of the Chattahoochee Valley Bankers Association will be held at Auburn, October 16, starting at 7 p. m. S. L. Ttfomer, president of the Bank of Auburn, is president of the Association. With the help of Felton Little, W. D. Martin, and G. H. Wright, Auburn bankers, President Toomer is arranging for the Auburn meeting. The visitors will be welcomed to Auburn by Dr. Bradford Knapp-. By special invitation, Col. John C. Persons, president of the American Traders National Bank, Birmingham, will speak. Col. Persons recently attended the annual convention of the American Bankers Association in San Francisco, and will bring to the bankers of this section a report of that meeting. A musical program is being arranged by Prof. John W. Brigham, head of the new department of music at Auburn, Mrs. Mary Drake Askew, and other musicians. The Association is composed of bankers in seven counties of Alabama and two in Georgia. Auburn's Coeds Are Observing Rat Rules For the first time in history the coeds have joined in keeping up the Auburn Spirit by observing rat rules placed upon them by the upper classmen. Every new coed is wearing a green ribbon all this week to signify her class. Other rules are being placed upon the coeds, such as eating with a knife, carrying suit cases, wearing different colored stockings, and carrying bricks to class with them. SHOWS GREAT PROMISE Male Glee Club Also Making Remarkable Progress The Girls Glee Club will begin re hearsing next week according to a statement by Professor Brigham. The new organization is composed of sixteen members and contains much promising material for a brilliant and successful year, according to Professor Brigham. The young ladies in the club are Dabney Hare, Marguerite Cromartie, Ruth Frisbie, Frances Moore, Jean Funchess, Catherine Porter, Myriam Moore, Abegaile Brasseale, Helen Shackleford, Nora Roth-rock, Burnice Pruitt, Mary Louise Earnest, Rosa May Pate, Pauline Watkins, Alice Sandlin, and Mary Cauthen. The Men's Glee Club is also making remarkable progress and expects to give a concert sometime in February, stated Professor Brigham. Professor Brigham, with Mr. Earl Hazel accompanist, will entertain at the Tutwiler Sunday afternoon with a recital. They also expect to give a recital in Langdon Hall soon, but no definite date has been decided upon. Plans for a community choir are now being formulated by Mrs. W. W. Hill. Details of the organization will be discussed at a meeting of a committee with Mrs. Hill as chairman to be held today. It is expected that the choir will be composed of the best local talent, including prominent members of the various church choirs. Auburn Tackles Commodores In The Magic City Auburn Won Last Game With Vandy By Score of 10-9 Mother-Dad Day Plans Now Nearly Completed Many Attractive Features On Program For Day * Arrangements for Mother and Dad's Day to be held Oct. 25th, the day of the Auburn-Howard football game have been completed, announced Streeter Wiatt, chairman of the student committee on the program.

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- (Continued on page 4) 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 (Continued on page 4) 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 The Dillon Drug Store, owned and 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. YMCA Normal Groups Hold Opening Meetings The Y. M. C. A. Normal discussion groups began Monday night, as announced by A. W. Headly. These groups meet every Monday night at 6:30 in the "Y" office and discuss problems of current interest on the campus. The best group and its group leader are given free tickets to the annual "Y" Banquet in December. Pi Kappa Phi Gives Smoker For Pledges The Pi Kappa Phi pledges entertained representatives of the other fraternities at a smoker Monday evening. The principal form of entertainment was an act put on by Thitty Mc- Fadden and three black-faced comedians. Notice To Students The special train for the Vandy game will leave Auburn at 6:30 Saturday morning. The tickets will cost four dollars and sixty-eight cents ($4.68) for the round trip. They may be used on trains leaving Thursday afternoon and Friday. The return special will leave Birmingham Saturday night at nine o'clock. Tickets are good on all return trains through Sunday. Coach Bohler stated that tickets for the game will be exchanged for coupons free of charge until Thursday at five o'clock. There will be no classes Saturday in order that all students may go to the game who wish to do so. NOTICE PLAINSMAN STAFF There will be a meeting of the Editorial Staff Friday night at 6:30 P. M. at the Y. M. C. A. It is very important that all members of the staff be present at this meeting as plans for improvement'are under way and everyone needs to be acquainted with them. 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."

Much favorable comment was heard. —again remarks on the fine show of sportsmanship displayed by the students at the game. 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. '% AUBURN FOOTPRINTS % Maybe we've been wrong.

The group of fifteen men held over from the last meeting because the lights had gone out and because the Vigilance Committee 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 cap and rules committee announced 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. * * * * * TRY THIS ONE The Oosterbaan, Mitterwainers and Ukel-bergs, whose names harried headline writers and radio announcers, have gone, but the Big Ten has plenty of unique names to replace them. O h i o State offers Bueschsenschuss, Ujhelyi, Kazmerchak, Wiragos and Erf, which Indiana matches with Magnabosco, Antonini and Hojnacki, among others. Wisconsin's threats to easy football conversation are Lubratovitch and Ketelaar, which are not so bad when Minnesota presents Pulkrabek, Kakela and Oja. Illinois has Nusspickel and Yanuskus to stack up against Yunevick of Purdue, Died-endorf of Chicago "and Captain Joe Trusk-owski of Michigan. WELL, I'D SAY THIS 'By aAaron ^Billowheel 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.

TAYLOR, Associate Editor Elmer G. Salter, Contributor; Rhodes Wasson, Harry Barnes, Charles Trice, Tad McCallum, Assistants D 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.

This will be the third game of the season for the high-schoolers, being defeated by Columbus in the initial engagement but showing power to win over Langdale High in the second fray of the year. In the Lang-dale tussle the Lee County backs showed some flashy play, and all indications are that the coming battle will be a tightly contested one. Sept Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov.

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.

Everything for the Home and Fraternity House TOOMER'S WILL GIVE YOU SERVICE DRUG SUNDRIES DRINKS, SMOKES THE STORE OF SERVICE AND QUALITY ON THE CORNER 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. . :t :i: £ * 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.

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. * :!: * * * Our hats are off to the baby Tigers. They came through in fine style winning over the Florida rats by the score of 20 to 7. And the team as a whole starred.

Wasson 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. Lineup—First Battalion: Hall, LE; Owen, LT; Holloday, LG; Hollifield, C; Gwin, RG; McCane, RT; North-court, RE; Crouch, LH; Cameron, RH; Conrad, FB; Cooper, QB. Third Battalion: Drury, LE; Hatcher, LT; Leonard, LG; Moore, C; Patterson, RG; Jones, RT; Jones, RE; Hall, LH; Melton, RH; Rawls, FB; Steinberg, QB.

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.

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. (Continued on page 4) University Men Say "One-color Sweaters" See them at Alabama's finest store for Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes { $35,00, $45.00 up one and two trousers } Rosenberg-Daniels 116 Montgomery St. Montgomery, Alabama J PAGE FOUR THE PLAINSMAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1929.

Capt. Howell "Shorty" Long leads the 179 lb. Bengal forward wall. He stars at any position that he plays. He started the season at guard but an injury to George Egge, sophomore end, caused Coach Bohler to move his aggressive leader to the wing post. He either gets the ball carrier or mows down the interference which makes it very easy for the secondary to nail the back without any gain. Harkins, at center; Schlich, Grady Long and Bush, guards; Newton and Taylor, tackles, and McRee, end, are the other Orange and Blue linesmen that have shown worlds of promise and are expected to reach their best form'in the Vandy encounter. The Commodores are one of the few teams below the Mason-Dixon line that hold an advantage over Auburn in past games.

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. "Shorty" Long played an exceptionally good game at his new position of end. It is a wonder that he did not play worse than he did, considering the against. latest horse diseases. This intelligent lecture was delivered by a member of the veterinary class of '23, who is now practicing in a small Alabama town. If the aforesaid knows as much about animals as he does football he should be appointed State Veterinarian. 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.

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.

') GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE (Continued from page 3) and were a serious menace to the Florida team at all times. Coach Mc- Faden's team is assuming proportions that certainly look good. A victorious 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.

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.
