DR. KNAPP ANNOUNCES CHANGES IN ATHLETIC SITUATION HERE
MOBILE MARDI
AUBURN BAND
Band Returns From Fourth
Mardi Gras In
Mobile
GRAS CLOSES;
HAS BIG PART
IN TWO PARADES MONDAY
Daily Concerts Given
Band In Bienville
Square
By
Tuesday night witnessed the close
of the most successful and joyous
Mardi Gras celebration ever given in
Mobile.
Festivities were brought to a drama­tic
conclusion with a program of revel­ry
befitting the annual visit of the
, emperor of joy, King Felix. The
day's varied program'ended with the
grand mask ball, at the municipal
wharf. The end of this ball, some
time during the "wee small hours",
also officially ended the reign of the
joy King, who has returned to obliv­ion
for another year.
The Auburn band played a promin­ent
part in every celebration or par­ade,
and was particularly active in
the final day's celebration, being in
two parades as well as giving the
daily morning concert in Bienville
Square. The Mobilians seem to en­joy
the "Tiger Band" more than any
other, and, in spite of the cold weath
er, huge crowds were on the streets
to witness the parades and listen to
the music.
The King's parade Monday was the
largest and most elaborate in the his
tory of Mardi Gras at Mobile. Four
bands, the Navy band, Louisville and
Nashville band, Bienville, Rifles, and
the Auburn band were placed at dif
ferent sections of the parade, and
played during the entire trip through
the city, a distance of approximately
three miles. In addition to marching
in the parade the Auburn boys also
had the honor of riding out on the
bay in the new coast guard cutter
Pontchartrain, and escorting the King
of the Carnival back to the city, where
the procession started.
At seven-thirty P. M. Monday the
beautiful parade of the Infant Mys­tics
took place, and afterward the
coronation of the Queen by the King,
at which the Auburn Band played.
The Infant Mystics ball following the
coronation is supposed to close the fes­tivities
-on Monday, but everything
was going strong all during the night
and throughout Tuesday. The pres­ence
of the band was not officially
scheduled for this affair, but no doubt
they were there in a body.
Auburn's Band has helped the Mo­bilians
celebrate Mardi Gras for four
consecutive years, and in all probabili­ty
the Carnival Association will con­tinue
to have them present at all fu­ture
celebrations. Its reputation is
good in the Gulf City and thousands
of people have come to recognize the
band as a necessary part of the Mardi
Gras celebration.
BANK OF AUBURN
BEING REMODELED
Bank Will Take Over Whole First
Floor of Building
In passing by the Bank of Auburn
one can not help but notice the many
improvements being made. This only
means that the merchants of the town
are catchpg the spirit of Greater Au­burn,
and improving their establish­ments
accordingly. ,
Arrangements have been made, ac­cording
to Mr. Martin, cashier of the
Bank, to take the entire first floor
over. This will give" approximately
twice as much room for the lobby, as
well as giving much more space for
the different offices of the bank.
A special feature of the improve­ment
is a new vault, which is to be
modern in every respect. The build­ing
will also be remodeled on the out­side,
as four new windows are to be
added, and a stucco finish applied.
MUCH INTEREST
SHOWN LOCALLY
LITTLE THEATRE
"Rip Van Winkle" To Be
Presented Soon; Cast
Announced
HAS MANY NEW MEMBERS
Due to the active interest taken by
the faculty and townspeople in the
Little Theatre Guild of Auburn, this
dramatic circle is rapidly developing
into one of the strongest organiza­tions
in the community. Since its
establishment two months ago, numer­ous
dramatic enthusiasts, among
whom are many of unusual talent,
have been enlisted to the movement.
Plans are under way for the pre­sentation
of "Rip Van Winkle" in the
future. Everyone will recognize the,
title of this delightful comedy as be­ing
inseparably associated with Joseph
Jefferson, oftimes referred to as the
greatest actor the South has ever pro­duced,
whose superb characterization
of "Rip" made the play famous. The
cast of characters has been announced
to be as follows: Professor Van Wag-enon,
Rip Van Winkle; Mrs. Irving,
Mrs. Carlovitz, Professors Atkinson
and Baughman, and Dean Judd.
Kiwanis Invite
Preps Club Send
Man Each Meet
According to an announcement
made today by J. C. Grimes, president
of the Auburn Kiwanis Club, a stand­ing
invitation has been issued to the
Press Club for one member of that
group to attend the weekly luncheons
of the aforementioned service cloUT
This action taken by the Kiwanians
is indicative of the fine spirit of co­operation
evidenced at all times by
that organization. It is needless to
say that the entire staff of The
Plainsman appreciates very greatly
the invitation extended to one of its
representatives.
The generous contribution of the
Kiwanis Club brings to mind another
question. Will the other service clubs
do likewise? In all larger towns a
representative from the newspaper of
that community attends the open
meetings of these groups. It is
necessary that they do so that the
news reports of such meetings be not
stereotyped and uninteresting. The
luncheons of the service clubs in Au­burn
are of special interest to the
townspeople at large. Will the others
make it possible for more interesting
and personal accounts of these week­ly
assemblies to go into print through
the medium of the Plainsman report-
JEFF BATTLE RUN
DOWN BY AUTOIST
f
Negro Porter Hit at Railroad Cross­ing;
Severely Bruised
In the second accident in Auburn
during the past week, Jeff Battle,
negro of about forty-five years of
age, porter at the Brewer Hotel was
badly injured when hit by a Chevro­let
coupe driven by M. N. Brumbeloe,
resident of Auburn. The accident
occurred at 5:30 yesterday after­noon.
The negro was crossing Col­lege
Street at the railroad crossing
when the car, going at about fifteen
miles an hour, struck him. The vic­tim
received several bad cuts on the
face and head, and a severe wrench
to his back. First examination by Dr.
Yarbrough revealed no broken bones,
however.
Drafting Room
Floor Is Given
By Barrett Firm
Gift Is Result Interest Taken
By John W. Davis
Elected 0. D. K.
GIFT IS APPRECIATED
Covering Almost As Good
As Linoleum to Cover
Cement
The Barrett Company of Birming­ham
has given enough of their high
grade roofing material to cover the
floor of the drafting room used by the
students in Architecture at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute. This ma­terial
makes a splendid "floor cover­ing,
almost equal to linoleum, and re­moves
the hardships occasioned be­cause
of the cement floor on which
the students have had to work hereto­fore.
Announcement to this effect was
made Tuesday by Dean Frederic Child
Biggin of the School of Architecture
and Allied Arts, who stated that the
gift comes as a direct result of the
interest in Auburn borne by a former
student, John E. Davis, now a prom­inent
architect in Birmingham, who
presented the need of this floor cover­ing
to the Barrett Company.
President Knapp and Dean Biggin,
as well as the students and faculty of
the School of Architecture, are most
enthusiastic in the expression of their
appreciation to the Barrett Company
for this valued gift.
The letter announcing the gift from
Mr. Davis to President Knapp fol­lows:
"When in Auburn recently, I
noticed that the boys in the Architec­tural
department were working on a
cement floor. Realizing that this
must be pretty hard on the boys, as
well as the professors, I got in touch
with the Barrett Company and they
stated this morning that they would
be delighted to give the Architectural
Department one of their high grade
roof coverings, which will make a
practical covering for this floor, equal
almost to linoleum."
Dr. Knapp Is Proud
Grandfather Now
Daughter Is Born to Bradford Knapp,
Jr., of Washington, D. C.
Dr. Bradford Knapp has a new
title. A telegram from Bradford
Knapp, Jr., in Washington, announced
the arrival of a daughter in his
home, this being the first grandchild.
Dr. and Mrs. Knapp are receiving
congratulations from their numerous
friends. The baby was born Febru­ary
10.
The news came to Dr. Knapp im­mediately
upon his return from Hous­ton,
Texas, where he attended the
celebration of the twenty-fifth anni­versary
of Extension work in agri­culture
and home economics, the work
being founded by his father, the late
Dr. Seaman A. Knapp.

Body
NOTICE
A general meeting of the Little
Theatre of Auburn has been called by
president J. R. Rutland, for 7:30
Thursday evening at the Y. W. C. A.
hunt. Dr. Knapp will speak to the
members of the Little Theatre and
others interested in the promotion and
encouragement of dramatic art. It
is expected that Dr. Knapp will out­line
plans for the future of dramatics
at Auburn. Other speakers will ap­pear
on the program, and matters of
policy will be discussed.
NOTICE
During the recent flu epidemic
when many of the sick boys stayed
in the Alumni Hall some of these
sick boys left their bed clothes in the
dormitory. - Mother Burney states
that if these are not called for in the
near future they will be disposed of.
All the boys are urged to call for
them as soon as possible.
Miss Zoe Dobbs, dean of women at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, has
been appointed a delegate to the
Geneva, Switzerland, conference of the
World Federation Education Associa­tion,
July 26th to August 3. The ap­pointment
was made by Dr. U. W.
Lamkin, president of the National
Education Association of the United
States. The appointment makes Miss
Dobbs a member of the committee on
international relations, which is con­sidered
one of the highest honors in
the gift of the association.
Whether or not she will accept the
appointment has not been decided by
Miss Dobbs. She hopes to do so and
become one of a large number of edu­cators
of the United States to cross
the Atlantic and go to Geneva to at­tend
the international gathering of
leading educators.
Miss Dobbs is an Alabama woman.
She came to Auburn as a social direc­tor/
in 1922. She served continuously
in this capacity until 1927 when she
became dean of women and also social
director. She is a lecturer on litera­ture
and other subjects, having serv­ed
as president of the Alabama Eng­lish
Teachers Association in 1924.
Born at Spring Garden, Alabama,
Miss Dobbs attended public school and
later the Tuscaloosa Female College.
She received both A. B. and M. A.
degrees at the University of Wiscon-
(Continued on page 6)
Every possible convenience is be­ing
arranged by Y. M. C. A. officials,
cooperating with the pastors of the
local churches, in presenting the an­nual
Evangelistic Services here this
spring. Contrary to the usual custom
of consolidating these services at a
central point, this season they are
being offered in the various churches
of the town, making it convenient
for students to attend the church of
their choice.
These services will open March 10,
and extend through the entire week
following. A number of the leading
evangelists of the country will be em­ployed
in making these services of
greatest attraction to students.
Dr. B. C. MacGuire, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Mont­gomery,
will lead the services at the
local Presbyterian church. He will
be assisted by. Miss Julia Lake Skin­ner,
formerly a resident at Auburn,
who received her college training at
Agnes Scott and later went to the
Biblical Seminary in New York.

Prof. Earlie Dies
Herradura, Cuba;
Got Degree Here
Information has been received at
Auburn by Dr. E. R. Miller of the
death in Herradura, Cuba, of Profes­sor
Franklin S. Earle, former pro­fessor
at Auburn; and upon whom
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
conferred the honorary degree of mas­ter
of arts in 1903.
It was in 1896 when Prof. Earle
came to Auburn as associate profes­sor
of biology and horticulture. Later
he was promoted to the head of the
department and also biologist and
horticulturist for the experiment sta­tion.
He left Auburn to become as­sistant
curator to the New York Bo­tanical
Garden.
When the Cuban government decid­ed
to establish an agricultural experi­ment
station the United States was
asked to recommend a man. Prof.
Earle was recommended and appoint­ed.
He organized and established an
experiment station which was a model
of its kind for completeness and ef­ficiency.
On leaving the experiment station
he engaged in tropical agriculture,
specializing in sugar cane technology
He was employed in both Cuba and
Porto Rico.
Along with his other duties he
found time to write a book on plant
pathology. The book came from the
press prior to his death.
THREE ASSISTANT COACHES
RESIGN; BOHLER IS RETAINED
President Knapp clears up rumors; makes public whole situa­tion;
gives Bohler square chance; Moulton, Pitts and
Brown resign as means clearing up situation; Lee retained
for seasonal work; "Bull" McFadden employed as Fresh­man
coach; Pitts accepts position assistant professor in
Mathematics Department; Knapp praises three men high­l
y ; Mr. J. V. Brown not be connected athletic department
in future; Knapp discusses situation in detail.
Today Is Saint Valentine's Day;
Season of Sentiment and Memory
Valentine Day! Day of beautiful lengends and sentiments—season
of love—a time when one can yield to his inner sentimental urge with­out
being called a sentimentalist. The special Valentine decorations still
remain in the shop windows. Everyone in the passing throng glances at
—most of them stop to look at—the display of hearts intertwined.
There stands a boy who is barely
eighteen-—in his eyes is something of
an inspired light—or is it an expres­sion
of longing? One can easily read
his thoughts. He is thinking of the
times when many Februarys ago he
would wait impatiently for twilight
to start on his most thrilling adven­ture
of the year. In one hand dainty
valentine^ to his childhood sweet­hearts,
and in the other those terribly
funny comic sheets (he had found
one to suit every member of the
gang, he would traverse the entire
town, leaving in his wake joy, and
in some cases mischief.
And there's another looking in the
shop window—a pretty little girl with
a hopeful expression and still more—
some scornful, but all, even though
"sophisticated collegiates," wishing,
down in their hearts, that someone will
say to them, "Be my Valentine."
President Knapp makes the follow
ing statement regarding the athletic
situation at Auburn:
"I wish very much we might have
gone along a little further into the
year before any announcement was
necessary in view of some circum
stances and conditions but apparently
it is necessary at this time to make
something of a statement regarding
the situation.
"Apparently during the year or
more before I came here, the athletic
situation at Auburn had gone from
bad to worse. In the year before I
came here a deficit of funds for the
support of the athletic department,
including inter-collegiate sports, had
accumulated in the sum of $36,541.62
The Board of Trustees called my at­tention
to this matter when I came
Intercollegiate sports are and proper­ly
should be supported entirely out of
the income from games. The Board
of Trustees of this institution in
sists upon this and the president of
the institution recognizes that there
is no other alternative except sup­porting
the athletic program in the
way indicated.
"A year ago last fall the former
head coach and director of athletics
resigned. Some three or four months
prior to my coming here as president,
the former administration with the ac­tive
cooperation of a committtee of the
alumni proceeded to select the coach
and employ him on a three-year con­tract,
which all parties knowing any­thing
about it considered to be bind­ing.
With that situation facing us
and with obligations for the contin­uance
of the full coaching staff, we
began the work of the present year.
It was apparent to me at the very be­ginning
that there was a great deal
of bickering, wo*rking at cross pur­poses
and even disloyalty, mainly on
the outside. I firmly believe there
was little, if any, of this within the
coaching staff itself. On the coach­ing
staff are a head coach, a track
coach and trainer, a football line
coach, a freshman coach, a baseball
coach and an assistant football and
basketball coach and three short-time
assistants.
We proceeded to work along as best
we could under these extreme diffi­culties
with a new system, with an
earnest effort to instill discipline, co­operation
and team work where these
had not existed for some time past.
We have all realized that the condi­tions
could not be made ideal nor
could the difficulties be repaired in
one year, possibly considerably long­er.
After a great deal of mature con­sideration,
in view of the serious fi­nancial
condition, and in spite of the
disastrous season in football, I felt
that the only thing in the world there
was to do was to stand by the con­tract
which the previous administra­tion
had made and continue the head
coach and give him one more chance
to endeavor to work it out. To keep
him and not back him up would be
little short of foolhardy and short­sighted.
At the same time, I am
frank to say that I felt that some
changes needed to be made, not be­cause
the men here were not good
men, but with a feeling that new
blood and new spirit might help to
revive the general physical well-be­ing
of athletics at this institution.
There are a great many difficulties
that it is not necessary for me to
discuss.
Coach Bohler is being retained un­der
his contract for another year as
head coach and head of the depart­ment
of physical education. There is
no Director of Athletics at this insti­tution,
such office having been abolish­ed.
Responsibility for athletics rests
upon the administration of this insti­tution
and will continue to so rest.
I know what that responsibility is
and I am summoning the courage
necessary to see it through with per->
feet assurance to the public that I am
going to do my very best but at the
same time realizing fully the difficul­ties
of the situation and the compli­cated
character of it due very large­ly
to matters that occurred before I
ever came to Auburn and for which
I feel no responsibility whatever. I
think the alumni and other friends of
Auburn ought to realize that they have
set me the task of trying to dig this
thing out of the cellar. I did not
put it in the cellar and the task of
digging it out is exceedingly more dif­ficult
than the task of tumbling it in­to
its lowly position.
In the rearrangement there was
mutual understanding and, in good
harmony, three of the assistant coach­es
have resigned. Coach Pitts has
accepted the position which I have
tendered to him as assistant profes­sor
in the Department of Mathematics
where he has in the past proven him­self
to be a most excellent teacher.
Without the least doubt, he will be
used during the football season to
help us but his help will be help given
similar to that by other members of
the faculty in emergencies and on
specially detailed work. Coach "Red"
Brown has resigned to accept a busi­ness
position and Coach Moulton has
resigned to accept a very excellent
position in conjunction with an In­surance
business in Mobile. Person­ally,
I have the very highest of ad­miration
and friendship for these
three men. They have shown unus­ually
fine qualities; they are special­ists
in the main. Each one of them
has been to my desk and we have had
perfectly good understandings. I have
shaken hands with them and assured
each one of them of my friendship
and desire to help them in any way
and of my regard for them personal­ly
and in behalf of the institution.
The step should not be regarded in the
least as a disparagement of the abili­ty
of these men as coaches. Some­times
the very best professor in the
world does not fit in with a depart­mental
organization in the college be­cause
his training or experience is
either a duplicate or overlapping of
those already in the department.
Moulton in particular is a splendid
baseball coach and has produced a
winning team. We all regret his
leaving. If we had an abundance of
money and* were free of debt, we might
have put on additional coaches here
and retained all those we had. Per­sonally
I should like to have done that
but as a public officer staring a
financial situation squarely in the
face, I cannot longer continue an im­possible
situation. I stand ready to
recommend these three men fully and
unqualifiedly.
"Earl ("Bull") McFadden, now
coach at the Cloverdale High School
in Montgomery, an active, vigorous
and successful coach, has accepted our
proposal to come here as assistant
coach especially in charge of the fresh­man
squad. We are expecting to take
on one other coach who will be a
combination line coach and baseball
coach and we are hoping to get a
man of outstanding ability for that
position. We are not ready to an­nounce
any selection at this time.
Coach Hutsell, of course, is retained
under this arrangement. Mr. J. V.

S AUBURN FOOTPRINTS E
Carol Porter, Lambda Chi Alpha efficiency expert, has just discovered a use
for and put into effect the use of something else which had hitherto been wasted.
It will be remembered that Carol was the instigator of the movement for the use
of empty shaving lotion bottles for paper weights, and for the use of the strings
that come around our laundry bundles for repairing tennis nets.
Carol found that the refuse from the house kitchen was being thrown away
and absolutely wasted. Carol got busy. First, he made some sort of mysterious
arrangement with a darkish person whose name has not been divulged to the press.
Then he sallied far out into the country and bought two very noisy young pigs and
gave them to the mysterious darkey.
Carol, after all negotiations had been completed, gave out the dope on the
mysterious agreement. It was that the darkey is to have active charge of both
pigs, and that he is to collect the Lambda Chi Alpha kitchen refuse and feed it
to said pigs, for which service he is to receive sole ownership of one of the pigs.
So concludes the latest episode in the life of the wonder efficiency expert. ^

THE PRICE OF FRIENDSHIP
Now listen, playmates, listen,
And I shall tell you
• . How I once met a girlie, '
Like the other fellows do.
I loved; yes, I loved,
And she knew it very well;
I tipped her to a playmate,
And he held her in his spell.
He filled her full of stories,
And said I wasn't true
The next time I saw my loving one
She said, "I'm through with you!"
That's all I know, boys,
All I wish to tell,
But if you have a loving one,
Let your playmates go to Hell!

Pants are made for men and not for women. Women are made for men and
not for pants. When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for a man,
that's a pair of pants. Pants are like molasses—they are thinner in hot weather
and thicker in cold weather. There has been much discussion as to whether pants
is singular or plural. Seems to us that when men wear pants it is plural and
when they don't wear pants, rf is singular. ... If you want to make the pants last,
make the coat first.—Adonis.

Fraternities
Lower Standard
Last year the Interfraternity Council de­cided
that all pledges would have to attain
a scholastic average conforming to the col­lege
requirements for graduation as a pre­requisite
for initiation. That meant, of
course, that each man must have twice as
many quality points as credit hours. It
meant that to become a fraternity man at
Auburn, a pledge would have to demonstrate
that he was serious about this education
business and that he could pass the amount
of work necessary to graduate.
Something happened. Recently the Coun­cil
changed its ruling. This happened after
the grades came out, before time for the
first initiations under the new rule. The
old system is in effect again. The frater­nity
heads decided that it wasn't necessary
for the freshmen to make the minimum col­lege
requirements.
The Council backed down under fire. A
step toward raising fraternity standards
was begun, but was retracted in mid-air.
It was found that too many " Big Social
Men" didn't make the required average;
the grade was a little too stiff for the men
who want fraternity pins, yet who do not
demonstrate ability to do minimum-standard
college work. Maybe lack of willingness
rather than ability.
The place of the fraternities in the rat­ing
of college groups is already nothing to
cause pride. To make an effort to improve
that, then back down when its effects be­came
apparent looks like a plain case of
"white eye." The fraternities are admit­ting
that they will not require the minimum
college requirement of their members; they
are admitting that they want men who fail
to accomplish their ultimate purpose at col­lege;
or they are catering to men whose
purpose is to stay one year and acquire a
little jeweled knick-knack, with the least
possible effort.
Dramatic T o u r n a m e n t Is
Big Thing For Auburn
According to an announcement made by
Prof. Rutland, the state high school dramat­ics
tournament will be held here April 13.
This tournament is held annually under the
auspices of the Alabama Association of
English Teachers. It has been held hereto­fore
in Birmingham, coming at the time of
the Alabama Educational Association meet­ing.
We think that Auburn is indeed fortu­nate
to have this tournament. It will mean
one more chance to display our attractions
to prospective college students. It will be
one more chance to impress visitors favor­ably.
It is a step toward making Auburn
a cultural center. It shows to the. people
of the state that we appreciate and are in­terested
in some of the things of life that
do not appear on pay checks.
The work of Professor Rutland in bring­ing
this tournament to Auburn is deserving
of mention. In doing it he is rendering the
institution a service and is helping us build
up a school that goes outside the lecture
hall to serve the state in an educational
way.
Baseball Is
Not Far Ahead
We are glad to see preparations for base­ball
season getting under way. Of all the
major sports we feel that baseball is most
typically American. All of us, since we were
big enough to throw a ball, have engaged
in the old American game, and feel that we
know something about it.
Soon we will be cutting afternoon lec­tures
and going out to the diamond where
we'll buy a bag of peanuts and a bottle of
soda pop and settle down on an uncomfort-able
wooden seat to an afternoon of un­alloyed
pleasure. The crack of the bat on
ball, the thump of ball in glove, the unin­telligible
grunts of the "umps", the shrill
admonitions of the shortstop or catcher, the
inevitable dog in centerfield, the razzing
from the bleachers and the ever-present fe­male
who makes dumb cracks will soon be
with us.
Our best wishes for a successful season
go with Coach Moulton, Captain Howard
Smith and the team as they prepare* to
enter the season of 1929. Auburn triumph­ed
in Southern Conference baseball last
year and we are confident that the feat can
be repeated.
Book B r i d g e Is
New D e p a r t m e nt
We wish to call attention to a new de­partment,
tq_become a regular feature of
the Plainsman, Book Bridge. This column,
a discussion of books recently published, will
be conducted by P. B. Cole, of the English
department. Mr. Cole has had quite a bit
of experience in reviewing books, doing
such work for an Atlanta newspaper be­fore
coming to Auburn last fall. Book
Bridge will be a regular feature of the Sun­day
issue.
We have in times past had a book review
on the editorial page, but that has been dis­continued,
and Mr. Cole's department will
supply our readers with a brief glance at
contemporary literature each week.
C o o r d i n a t i o n T h a t Leads
To No End Of Good
The Mechanical Engineering seniors of
this institution who last Monday very
profitably and pleasantly enjoyed the hos­pitality
of the Gulf States Company in an
inspection tour of the steel mills at Gads­den,
have returned to express their deep
appreciation to that company for the gener­ous
and uplifting occasion extended them,
and to begin again with renewed vigor and
interest their study in this field of work.
The entire Institution also joins them in
thankful praise for this possibility, which
came as an invitation from L. E. Geohegan,
vice-president and general manager of the
company.
This event marks the initial appearance
of Auburn students at the plant where a
number of promising and advancing Au­burn
graduates- now hold responsible posi­tions.
The members of the inspecting crew,
who very soon are expecting to step out
into this field of endeavor carrying the
name and fame of Auburn trained workers
with them, spent Monday reviewing a new
bar mill, a blast furnace, a power plant,
modern electrical aids and appliances, and
plans and foundations for a new sheet mill.
All of which directly bears on the principles
of the study here, giving them a broad and
practical insight into the actual manipula­tions
in which they expect to become a part
later.
Not one of the members of the tour re­turned
without having gained a "broader
and uplifting view of this field of work,
and gaining an added advantage from the
experience. We mark this opportunity ex­tended
by the Gadsden plant as an act of
very beneficial cooperation meriting the
thanks of the graduate Mechanical Engin­eers
and the college as a whole, which is of­fered
the company with a concept of its true
worth.
Ballot Rotation
To E q u a l i z e Positions
With class elections on the horizon, the
Plainsman takes the opportunity to suggest
that the system of ballot rotation be in­augurated.
That is if there are four names
to be voted on for an office, one fourth of
the ballot will carry name number One
first; one fourth will carry number Two
first; one fourth will carry number Three
first; and the remaining one fourth will
carry number Four at the head of the list.
This method gives each contestant a fair
deal. If the same name is printed first on
every ballot, it has a distinct advantage
over the others due to the fact that many
voters hurriedly place their pencil marks
beside the first name that attract their
eyes as they proceed down the ballot.
Under the system of ballot rotation each
nominee will go before the student body
with an equal chance as far as position on
the ballot is concerned.
" L i t t l e Things"
By Tom Bigbee
We wonder if you have caught the spirit
of this "Go-to-Church" movement among our
students? Judging from the increased at­tendance
at the various churches, if you
haven't, you are mostly out of line. Join
the fellows in a pleasant and profitable day
at..the church of your choice next Sunday—
and note the difference. You can't go
wrong in that.
Haven't you missed Prexy's Paragraphs
these past few weeks, while he was out add­ing
laurels to the name of our grand Insti­tution?
We have been very forcibly im­pressed
by their absence, and anxiously an­ticipate
their return.
As we leisurely reclined before a warm
fire yesterday, a mosquito drifted before the
grate to be carried by the draft up the long,
smutty column commonly known as a chim­ney.
Even little things take warm journeys
sometimes.
Did you see the movie film burn in two
when a kissing scene was being enacted some
weeks ago here? Guess you'd be compelled
to call that a warm contact, eh what?
"Old Times" flashed back to our memory
as the Tiger cagesters downed the strong
Tulane quintet here Saturday night. More
of it, is what we are anticipating.
The way the Frosh five is galloping acress
the hardwood this season should be an in-spiriration
to any sport loving student body;
and we judge it means bigger and better
things ahead, still.
Since the All-College Stunt Nite, it is
a well established fact that we are graced
by the presence of genius of wit and origin­ality.
And now you just must discard the
idea that you are the only campus frequent­er
who has escaped the, curse of "dumbell-ism!"
"When cornered teach; otherwise give the
student a chance," expostulates a well-known
professor here. Yes, he is in the
Education Department, and was addressing
a group of future high school teachers.
"What Good Will This Do
MeT
The next time some subject seems bore-some
to you, and you wonder whether it
will prove of practical benefit, imagine
this scene—typical of the daily activities in
a large financial house—
One of the chief executives is discussing
with one of his colleagues a loan, let us
say, to a borrower in Germany. His con­versation
reveals, a good knowledge of
German history, of its resources and de­velopment,
of its economic position, of its
scientific discoveries, and of the character­istics
of its people.
In the Advertising Department across the
room a young man is struggling with a
piece of "copy" which observes all the
principles of composition.
At a desk near a window a correspondent
is dictating a letter about the bonds of a
well-known dye company and we realize
that the correspondent knows his chemis­try
as well as psychology.
In one of the sales divisions nearby, an­other
young man is demonstrating a good
practical understanding of logic and order­ly
thinking. As the conversation proceeds,
we observe that a question of ethics in in­volved.
It would indeed be difficult to think of
any subject in the university curriculum
that would not be an asset to the young
man who plans to enter the investment busi­ness.
To capable young men it offers a
field of opportunity that deserves investi­gation.—

Oedipus, 1929 Model
Oedipus was a wise man indeed. He was
the only man to answer the question of the
Sphynx. He had read the five-foot shelf
fifteen minutes a day; and oh, the number
of cross word puzzles and ask-me-another's
he had solved! And lucky it was for him
that he knew the answer. For otherwise the
merciless Sphynx would have tossed him into
the yawning abyss below from which there
could be no return.
Each undergraduate at this and other col­leges
is at this time in the position of Oedi­pus.
Our Thebes is the great goal of mod­ern
education; our Sphynx, the faculty. A
little abashed we stand before this august
animal, some feigning an air of careless­ness,
others frankly revealing their uncon­trollable
fear. For far below us yawns the
abyss into which our failure to conform
to the demands of the faculty will cast us
and from which we can gain our footing
only as office boys or perhaps as million­aires
but never as Bachelors of Arts.
THE GEDUNK
I am the Gedunk that must criticise
everything. Nothing about the college ever
pleases me, or if it does, there are always
some changes that I could make. I criticise
the administration, the athletics, my pro­fessors,
the cafeteria and everything else
that I can think of. There is nothing upon
which I do not pass my profound judgment.
Of course, occasionally there is something
that even I cannot criticise, but I am very
careful to keep anyone from discovering
the fact.
SOUTHERN PROGRESS
The Southern States, in recent years have
made big strides in education and are
steadily rising to national standards, Dr.
Edgar W. Knight, professor of education
in the University of North Carolina, told
the members of the Institute of. Arts and
Sciences of Columbia University in an ad­dress
before a New York audience.
Owing to many obstacles growing out of
the Civil War, the Southern States are to­day
below national standards in education,
notwithstanding the steady, and, in some
cases, almost phenomenal progress since
1900, but recent trends offer undeniable tes­timony
that the South can and is attaining
to standards comparable with the best, Dr.
Knight asserted.
"The Southern States are beginning to
take the first step toward that achieve­ment,
to face more squarely than ever be­fore
their educational shortcomings," he
said. "These states now appear more deter­mined
than at any time in the past to use
their material resources to increase their
cultural powers. They are learning that
they can do for education anything they
wish to do and that they need not remain
the Rip Van Winkle of American educa­tion."
I wonder how much longer we are to be
subjected'" to our weakness, altogether tra­ditional,
being thrown upon our face. Com­paring
education to football, if I may, we
had to show the world that the South was
playing and had been playing as good, if
not apparently superior football to any
other section of the country, despite the
fact that football was supposed to be on a
low plane in the South. Are we not p r o ­ducing
as well trained minds, doing as much
for the good of the nation, considering the
chance we have had, as any other part of
the United States? If not why?

CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL
The burden of protecting the beauties of
the Carolina Campus, has been thrust upon
the frosh of the University of North Caro­lina.
The Carolina Campus, said to be the
most beautiful in the South, is being ruin­ed
by the many paths that are beaten
across the grass. The President of the Y.
M. C. A. in addressing the freshmen, told
them that they were the men who had not
yet formed their habits of campus actions,
and that they better than any other class
can put the proposition across because they
will be there for three more years. Fines
were tried for a while in the past, but were
removed when it was thought that the stu­dents
had enough pride in the campus to
stay off the grass of their own accord.
At Davidson and at the University of
Virginia, if anyone walks on the grass,
someone shouts at him. The result is that
the grass is always well kept.
You're right, this is a trivial matter to
run in this column, but I wonder if we
shouldn't adopt some form, like hollering
at those who persist in cutting up our
campus, to make them feel that it is their
duty to help keep and make our campus
beautiful.

WE WONDER???
Evidencing the increasing prominence of
co-eds in university and college activities,
Dorothy Loekwood, a junior at the Univer­sity
of Tennesse, has been recommended
by the retiring editor of the Orange and
White, to be his successor. This recommen­dation
is equivalent to appointment.
The fact that this is not just an excep­tion
is shown by the large number of co­eds
on the staff of the Orange and White,
there being five and thirteen on the editor­ial
and reportial staff respectively.
The Auburn Plainsman is recognized as
being one of the leading student publica­tions.
We have only one co-ed taking an
active interest in its publication. Someday
our co-eds are going to come out and join
with us in the editing of this paper. When
will it be?

CONGRATULATING EMORY
Scholastic standing has the strongest ap­peal
for men coming to Emory for the first
time, according to a questionnaire given out
recently. The questionnaire was given to
sophomores and freshmen and a total of
210 answered the questions asked and re­turned
the papers. Taking second and
third place, respectively are: Their parents
wanted them to go there and that Emory
is a Methodist Institution.
Although no arguments against Emory
was placed on the questionnaire, 107 gave as
their main reason against it "lack of inter­collegiate
athletics." Next after this
against it was "no social life." The pro,
according to the questionnaire are: scholas­tic
standing, students and spirit, location,
campus and buildings, glee club, and 5-day.
weeks. The con are: lack of intercollegiate
athletics, no social life, lack of school spirit,
unknown outside of Atlanta, church control,
"sissies," and "High Hat."

EXAMS AND EXPENSES
Ohio State University spends more than
six thousand dollars a year for paper for
examinations, according to figures obtained
at the receiving department of the school.
Stencils used in printing the examination
paper cost about $2,400 per year.
These figures do not include the costs of
incidentals, pencils, erasers, and other class-rooom
supplies used in examinations. If
these costs, together with instructor's fees
and the cost of cleaning the typewriters,
were added it would cost the University
about. $9,000 per year for examinations.
- It has been estimated that 10,412 students
spend eight hours each day studying for
and writing finals. Averaging three cours­es,
each, a total of 249,888 hours per quar­ter
are spent.
MEDITATIONS
ON THIS AND THAT

EDITORIAL 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

* * * * *
NARROWMINDEDNESS is a sorry
trait. The creature of ignorance,
sired by unintelligence, it yet holds
wide sway even in this age of enlightenment
and science. We in the-South are constant­ly
referred to as being chronically narrow-minded;
our section is called the Bigotry
Belt. Do we deserve the appellation?
In the college, if anywhere, should we
find refutation for the charge; in the college
truth and reason should prevail. Are we
free of narrowmindedness in the colleges?
Before coming to Auburn I attended
another Southern college. The student body
there was made up principally of men study­ing
to be doctors, lawyers, diplomats, min­isters,
business men and educators. I no­ticed
a tendency to be narrow about many
things. For instance, education.
* * * * *
ENGINEERING was laughed at. The
idea of going to college to learn to
work problems in stress computation,
to learn how to build bridges, to mine coal,
to operate power plants or to design trans­formers
was laughed at. Get it in the
shop, they said. Civil engineers were
vaguely classified with plumbers; electrical
engineers with linemen. The various
branches of physics, chemistry and biology
were admitted to grace, but were unimpor­tant.
Educaton meant liberal education. Eru­dition
didn't include mechanics, in their
estimation. The cultural things only were
considered of importance; men ignorant of
art, music, philosophy, literature, economics,
langugages, history and politics were un­mentionable
barbarians; they needed civil­ization.
The man who expressed a desire
for a technical education was hooted at;
he was looked upon as one who couldn't
stand the intellectual pace and who wanted
a short cut to a college degree.
* * * * *
ABILITY to enjoy the nine symphonies
of Beethoven was considered worth­while;
ability to construct a'concrete
slab was considered as a brickmason's ac­complishment.
Te be conversant with the
thought of Russel, Freud and Dewey, to
know something about modern poetry, sculp­ture
and painting, to know something of
classic opera, to be able to converse intelli­gently,
at least, on contemporary drama
and short story—these were the things to
seek as the goal of an education.
* * * * J*
WHEN I came to Auburn I expected
to find, among so many scientists
and engineers, an openminded,
scientific attitude toward education; I ex­pected
to find men who recognized the value
of cultural education along with technical
training, but did I find such men?
Very few. The ordinary engineer spends
one hour each day kidding the academic
students about their "crip" course. He has
been told by older engineers that only tech­nical
courses are of value; therefore he
studies something that he will never follow
in life and sneers at the academic depart­ment.
He hasn't thought it out for himself;
he has accepted something that he has
heard. He would be laughed out of count­enance
at a university were he to complain
about his difficult course, yet in his col­ossal
ignorance he is self-satisfied at Au-burfr.
It used to bother me. Now when I hear
one blowing off I mentally attach a ticket
"Narrow-minded ignoramus" and forget it.
THE TIGER
Tiger! Tiger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burned the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, and what arm,
Could twist the sinews of thine heart?
And whe.n thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? and what dread feet?
What the hammer, what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did He, Who made the Lamb, make thee?
Tiger! Tiger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1929., THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE
MEN FOLLOW STYLES SAYS
DUCERF IN "CONCENTRATOR"
He-men collegians wear striped pa­jamas
in the privacy of their frater­nity
houses because Peggy Joyce or
somebody wore 'em publicly at the
Lido last summer. And Joe College,
'29, will adorn himself in fancy silk­en
velvet vests and lounging ivbes
because Paul Poiret dressed a couple
of his models in the same materials
for a stroll down the Rue de la Paix.
Such are at least well justified con-'
elusions if we take at face value the
startling statements of Gaston J. Du-cerf,
European style scout' for leading
haberdashers, as published in the
February issue of the "Concentrator,"
men's wear organ of a Chicago manu­facturing
firm.
Says Mr. Ducerf, "When called on
to answer the question, 'Do men fol­low
women in styles?", there is no
necessity for using diplomatic lang­uage
to get around the question.
From a careful survey of not only
the best men's wear shops but also
the most fashionable couturiers of the
Rue de la Paix during the past few
months, the answer must be in the
affirmative.
Mr. Ducerf, probably not thinking
of the irritation he would cause harm­lessly
masculine minded students of
the U. S. A., makes out a very good
case for himself. "The trend," he
continues, "was noticeable away last
summer at the most fashionable sea-

side places' when men started to use
elaborate and fancy bathing suits in
bright colors similar to those display­ed
by film and stage stars. This was
also true of robes; very little differ­ence
being noticeable between the ex­travagant
and modernistic patterns
gotten out for men's wear and the
slightly more refined articles worn
by the women.
"During the recent fall and winter
sport season the best dress-makers in
Paris turned out many Ensembles in
knitted pullover sweaters and dresses
of futuristic patterns. This has been
immediately reproduced in articles re­cently
by the most fashionable haber­dashers
in men's pullovers, golf hose,
cardingans etc. Under the name "po-loblends"
I predict that one such ar­ticle
will meet with wide approval
this spring and summer for American
sports."
But that the trend is not one of
imitation, but rather adoption of the
best, Mr. Ducerf hastens to explain
(to keep men in good temper, probab­ly)
he says that all men are learning
to dress for their own sake rather
than for the sake of their clothes.
"Men are learning to buy their hab­erdashery
in Ensembles to blend and
harmonize with their clothing. It is
that by which we may account for
the present trend. You must not mis­take
me—men are taking nothing that
is effeminate from the ladies.
"Rather, women being recognized as
such experts in harmonizing colors,
quite a few manufacturers confining
their production to men's wear are
finding it to their advantage to watch
ALABAMA CLAIMS
TITLE IN FENCING
The University of Alabama has put
in its claim for championship honors
in fencing in the Southern Confer­ence.
Unless other claimants prove
their superiority in this sport, the lo­cal
team will be acclaimed the right­ful
title holder.
Alabama has not been defeated this
year. The team is daily going through
its drill and is gradually acquiring
many followers. Every day at the
practice hour, crowds gather in the
gymnasium to watch the participants
of this chivalrous sport.
Fencing is practically a new sport
in athletic circles of the South. There
are only five teams in the Southern
Conference. Schools that have teams
in this sport are, Virginia Military
Institute, Vanderbilt University,
South Carolina University, Alabama.
University, and Tulane University.
The fencers of the latter school are
said to be unusually good. Plans are
under way for a combat some time in
February between the Tulane Greenies
and the Alabama Crimson Tide, ac­cording
to A. Scafati, captain of the
Alabama etam.

Not satisfied with the production of
only one bale of cotton per acre 4-H
club boys of Alabama have succeeded
in doubling this by making two bales
per acre, according to the annual
report of T. A. Sims, state club leader
for the extension service of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute.
Last year eighteen boys made two
bales of cotton per acre, Mr. Sims
reported. A few years ago the pro­duction
of one bale per acre was con­sidered
a remarkable record. With
the advance of scientific information
in the production of cotton two bales-is
feasible under Alabama conditions
as demonstrated by these boys.
Eighty others made a bale and a
half per acre; 1213 made a bale; and
5418 made three-fourths of a bale.
These yields were made in spite of
unfavorable weather over a large part
of the state—largely south Alabama.
With a normal season throughout the
state the average would have been
much higher and a larger number
would have exceeded the goal of a
bale per acre.
Mr. Sims pointed out that there
was nothing impractical about these
remarkable records. Low production
costs were impressive. Reports from
hunderds of these boys reveal that it
cost them less than 5 cents per pound
to make cotton. Some . reported cost
below 3 cents per pound.
"At these figures," said Mr. Sims,
"the production of cotton is a very
profitable business. All of us are
indebted to the 4-H club boys for dem­onstrating
that unusually large yields
can be made on Alabama farms. They
did it under the direction of their
county demonstration agents who were
guided by the experiment station of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute."
F.^S. Nishwitzj ex-'30, and at pres­ent
a student at Georgetown Univer­sity,
made a bet that if Georgetown
beat West Virginia he would marry
Miss Marjorie Morris of Chevy-Chase.
Mr. Georgetown won the football
game and the couple motored to Rock-ville,
Maryland, where they under­went
the marriage ceremony.
Now they want to call all bets off
and the suit for annullments has be­gun.
The bridegroom claims that he
was under age at the time and had to
represent himself as being 21 to ob­tain
the license. Moral: don't gamble.
Rollins College will be the host of
the Florida Intercollegiate Press Asso­ciation
at its annual. convention to
be held this year on February 21 and
22, according to Esther Boardman,
editor of the Flastacowo and president
of the Press Association,
February 21-25 constitute Founders
Week at Rollins and since many noted
journalists are to be present ft is ex­pected
that the young writers will
learn much concerning the field of
journalism.
The Florida Intercollegiate Press
Association was founded nine years
ago at Rollins by .editors from Rollins,
Florida State College, and Southern
College. Both Stetson and the Uni­versity
of Miami are members now.
The association met at Florida State
College last year.
Hollingsworth Speaks
At Ag Club Meeting
L. M. Hollingsworth, county agri­cultural
agent in Lee county, ad­dressed
the Students Agricultural
Club at a regular weekly meeting in
Comer Hall Wednesday evening.
Mr. Hollingsworth gave a short,
though forceful impromptu speech of
praise for the real usefulness of the
activities of such a lively organiza­tion,
and fitting remarks of admoni­tion
to its members who expect to go
out from college soon. A group of
almost 200 students heard him. Ar­riving
unexpectedly, he was not
placed on the regular program.
Mr. Hollingsworth graduated from
Auburn several years ago, and in his
remarks he referred to the days when
he attended the Ag Club here; re­garding
them as extremely joyful I
and of real benefit. ,

Tigers Win From
Greenies 40-25 In
Last Tilt of Series
By Dick Jones
The Auburn Tigers came to life
last Saturday night and presented a
surprising attack to defeat the Tu-lane
Greenie five 40-25 in the Au
burn gym.
The Tigers took the lead at the
very beginning of the game and held
it throughout the contest. Auburn
scored on the Greenies in the first
20 seconds of play to start the game
off with a bang. This initial score of
the tilt surprised the Tulane five a
great deal for they had not even been
given a chance to get their hands
on the ball before Mullin had tossed
it through the hoop after DuBose
had gotten the tip-off to Frazier..
Mullin and James, the Tigers
hustling cagemen, led the scorers for
the night with 13 and 11 points being
scored by them respectively. Savoy,
Tulane's fast forward, was third high
scorer with 8 points.
The whole Auburn team played
"heads-up" basketball throughout
the game and looked like an entirely
different team from the one that
played against Tulane the night be­fore.
"Boots" Fulton and Frank Du­Bose
were handling the floor to a
perfection. They brought the ball
down the floor on nearly every at­tempt
and following it until it went
through the basket or into the ref­eree's
hands. Vines, the Tigers guard
who had been sick in bed only a few
days before this game, played one of
the best games on the floor and work­ed
steady the whole game with James
in getting the ball off the backboard.
Mangum performed nicely at guard
for Tulane and scored 6 of their 25
points.
Lineup and summary:
AUBURN (40)—Mullin (13), and
Frazier, forwards; Captain DuBose
(5), center; James (11), and Vines
(7), guards. Subs. Fulton (4).
TULANE (25)--Savoy (8) and
Walshe (4), forwards; Roberts (5),
center; Mangum (6), and Ford (2),
guards. Subs. P. James and Eskridge.
Referee: Roosma (West Point);

DuBose Receives Cup
From Macon Citizens
Resignations of These Three Coaches Officially Announced Today
Frank DuBose, president of
the senior class and one of the
most.outstanding centers to play
on Auburn's basketball team in
the last ten years, was presented
with a handsome loving cup by
the citizens of Macon, Georgia.
DuBose received his preparatory
training at Lanier High school
there.
Harry Kendall, an alumnus of
Auburn made the presentation
speech, in which he praised the
famous basket ball players that
Lanier has turned out, including
Mallard, Land, Stribling and Du­Bose.
Coaches Pleased
With Outcome of
Rat Cage Season
Ellis and Wood Are
To Report to Canton
Cluh For '29 Season
By Elmer G. Salter
News has been received in Au­burn
that G. J. Ellis, former Auburn
three letter man, and Norman C.
Wood, one of the mainstays of the
Auburn mound corps for the past
three seasons have been released by
the Nashville Vols baseball nine to
Canton, one of their numerous farms.
Ellis, Gilchrist and Fob James
signed with the Vols after finishing
their diamond career at Auburn.
After a brief trail, Fob James was
released, and Gilchrist and Ellis were
released to Burlington in the Three
I League. Ellis finished the season
with Burlington while Gilchrist wai
recalled by Nashville before the con­clusion
of the season and played good
ball for the Hamilton nine before the
close of the season.
Wood signed with the Mobile
Bears after a successful season with
Coach Moulton's diamond nine. He
was released by the Bears and signed
with Nashville, where he finished
the season.
Ellis has been coaching and teach­ing
at Bay Minette this year where he
produced a winning eleven on the
gridiron. • Wood returned to Auburn
to "finish the required work for grad­uation,
finishing at mid-term. He is
at present at his home in Jasper
where he will assist with the Jasper
High School baseballers before his
departure for Canton.
By Dick Jones
Coaches Bohler, Lee, and Brown
are well satisfied with the record al­ready
made by their Auburn Rat drib­blers
on the hardwood this year and
feel as though they have produced
some real material to aid the varsity
five next year.
The 1929 Rat quintet, that have
been under the tutorship of these
three Tiger coaches this season, have
lost only one game to date. This de­feat
being given them by the strong
Georgia Tech Rats, after the "Baby"
Tigers had led them through the first
half by a good margin. The final
score of this game was Tech 25 and
Auburn 20. Then their next closest
game was the one with Dadeville.
Auburn only licked them 23-19. All
the rest of the Tiger Cubs games were
won by extra large margins. They
have defeated the following teams
so far this year and by the following
scores: Auburn 23, Dadeville 19; Au­burn
42, Ridge Grove 33; Auburn 57,
Fairfax Mills 2 l ; Auburn 41, Bevelle
Athletic Club of Alexander City, 22;
Auburn 50, Birmingham-Southern
Rats 32; Auburn 47, Birmingham-
Southern Rats 27.
This completes the schedule of the
Rats with the exception of two' more
games to be played this week. They
will meet the Wetumpka High School
in Auburn Thursday afternoon and
the Tech Rats in Auburn Saturday
afternoon. The Wetumpka High lads
have an extra strong team this year
and are expected to give Auburn's
first year lads plenty of opposition.
The Tech Rats downed the Auburn
Rats in Atlanta last week so the Au­burn
Rats are waiting for the chance
to meet them in the "Village of the
Plains," for they believe in them­selves
enough to say, "The Tech Rats
had better come prepared for a good
licking".
Coach Bohler has given these Rats
the same coaching in the same man­ner
that he has given to the Varsity
and when they are running true to
form they work together exactly like
the Varsity five.
Working at the center berth he has
had Stewart most of the season. He
is a tall and loose-jointed center that
has failed to get the tip-off only a
few times this year. He has improved
a great deal in his work under the
basket this year and if he continues
to improve he is likely to fill the va­cant
shoes of Captain DuBose next
year. Another lankey center that has
seen service in most all of the games
so far this year .is Beard. This is
another prospective player for next
year and is going to give someone a
real chase for a forward or center
position on the Varsity five. The for­ward
positions have been well hand­led
this year by Lumpkin, Jordan and
Aldridge. All three of these Rat
cagesters have shown real attili.ty
under the basket with their quick

COACH "SLICK" MOULTON
By Elmer G. Salter
E. R. ("Slick") Moulton, whose
resignation as assistant football coach
and head baseball mentor at the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute has been
confirmed by Coach Bohler is one of
the few coaches in the game that has
a record of always producing a win­ner
when he was head coach.
Coach Moulton began his success­ful
coaching after finishing a brilli­ant
athletic career at Auburn under
Mike Donahue. He was one of the
leading flankmen in the country his
final season wearing an Orange and
Blue uniform and was selected on the
mythical all-Southern eleven and re­ceived
several mentions for the All-
American team. His playing against
the Army in 1922 brought him recog­nition
from the late Walter Camp,
Grantland Rice, Lawrence Perry, and
other well known sport scribes. He
was also one of the leading pitchers
on the Auburn baseball nine; receiv­ing
the mythical All-Southern honor
on the diamond.
After closing out his four years
at Auburn, Coach Moulton was elect­ed
as athletic director for the United
States Veterans Bureau of Pasca-goula,
Miss. While athletic director,
Coach Moulton was coach of the
Pascagoula High School where he pro­duced
his first championship team.
His Miss, school was undefeated for
the season.
HIS
COACH "BOOZER" PITTS
Coach Pitts resigned as assistant
football coach to accept a position as
assistant professor of mathematics.
"Boozer" came to Auburn in 1908
and scrubbed on the varsity football
team for three years, and in 1911 he
received his "A". He played on the
varsity in '11, '12, '13 and '14 and
was mentioned several times for Ail-
American in 1913 and was chosen for
the team in 1914. He was All-Time
All-Southern.
After graduation he became head
coach at Tech High in Atlanta. Dur-

school.
After the war Pitts returned to Au­burn
as line-coach and continued in
this position until 1922. In 1923 he
became acting head-coach upon the
retirement of Coach Donahue and
held this post until the arrival of
Morey. When Morey resigned Pitts
was chosen for this place and held it
until Bohler was engaged as head
coach in 1928.
In 1925 he came to Auburn to suc­ceed
Kirk Newell. In the capacity of
freshman coach he has been actively
engaged in the forming of Alumni
assocations throughout the state and
has kept in constant touch with prom­inent
high school athletes.
CALLAN LEADS T. & C. TO VICTORY
OVER C £ RODMEN IN GREAT GAME
Second Battalion Wins
One From Engineers
Friday afternoon the Engineers
went down to defeat at the hands of
the 2nd Bn. Artillery team by the
score of 3 to 1. This was the second
practise game of the Intramural
league and was a great improvement
over the first game. Agee for the
Engineers and Ellison and Foutz for
the Artillerymen did very creditable
mound duty and hits were few and
far between. Gholstrom of the 2nd
Bn. looked like a real find at 1st base,
fielding his position perfectly and
handling two difficult chances in fine
style.
In the fourth inning the Engineers
lost the chance of becoming famous.
With first and second loaded, Turman
hit a fly to deep short which looked
like a sure hit. Riley, the Engineer
shortstop raced back and caught .the
ball, doubling the man on second

As a result, John (J. A. C.) Callan
led T. & C. to a smashing victory over
the Rodmen and gave another boost
to his All-American rating handed
down from the class of '28.
The T. & C. boys scored most of
their points in the last half rush. Led
by Callan, T. & C. put C. E. to route
after the bewhiskered Rodmen had
batteled the formulars to a stand still
in the first half and finally taken the
lead on a beautiful placement of
flexure formula eight by Shelton,
star halfback for the C. E.
It took just two questions for Cal­lan
and the T. & C. boys to overcome
this deficit in the third hour and take
the lead that was never relinquished.
The first play was a pass to the point
for bending horizontal rods, tossed
by Callan to S. H. Ear for a gain of

Thursday marked the opening of
the Intra Mural baseball league with
the 1st Bn. Field Artillery team com­ing
out on the long end of a 10 to
3 game. As might be expected, the
play was not airtight but after the
first inning both teams settled down
and played a fair brand of ball. Har-gett
for the 3rd was knocked out of
the box in the first inning and was
replaced by Tew who allowed only
two hits during the remainder of the
game. Hewitt and Smith, H. P. divi­ded

Auburn High Quintet
Crushes Columbus Ind.
The Auburn Hi five showed speed
and ability, Tuesday nite, by defeat­ing
their old rivals, the Columbus In­dustrial
boys, by a score of 23 to 18.
Although the Columbus boys fought
to a desperate finish, they were out­played
by the Bynum lads. The game
opened with fast and flashy playing
by the Industrial boys; and many of
the spectators picked them to win,
however the Auburn, five soon struck
their stride; and the effects of a well-coached
team, was shown.
Although there was a good num­ber
of fouls rendered by both teams,
the playing of each could be claimed
as up to the standard. Bailey cap­tain
and right forward, along with
Fincher, right guard, played an out­standing
game for Auburn. Warlop
and Whipper proved to be leading
men for Columbus.
The lineup:
Auburn: Bailey and Gibson, for­wards;
Blackmon, center; Fincher
and Bains, guards. Subs: Friel for
Blackmon, Cameron for Bains.
Columbus: Danielly and Johnson,
forwards; Thigpen, center; Jordan
and Warlop, guards. Subs: Whipper
for Johnson, Whipper for Warlop.

Auburn Hi lads play in the Alumni

Two sensational field baskets from
mid-court by Art Wright, of the
Mercer team lost for the Plainsmen
Tuesday night. These two goals and
a foul shot by Captain Mallard gave
the bears a lead of 31 to 26 with five
minutes left to play and three free
throws by Moon Mullin, Auburn's di­minutive
forward, cut Mercer's lead
to a couple of points just before the
whistle blew.
The game was another blcod and
thunder affair with both teams play­ing
at top speed continuously. The
score alternated during the first half
but near the close of this period
Mercer forged ahead with a 19 to 15
lead on field tallies by Peggy Camp­bell
and two free throws by Wright.
The second half opened with a pace
a little more furious than before and
the score deadlocked many times.
With only six and a half minutes to
play, Mullin evened the count at 24-
all. Then Campbell by a field goal
tossed from the side gave Mercer a
two point lead, but DuBose soon
evened this to 2G-26 by a field mark­er.
DuBose fouled Mallard who sank
the free throw, placing Mercer one
point ahead. This personal was a
fourth foul for DuBose and was taken
out of the game, Harmon replacing
him at center.
At this period of the game Wright
looped in two field goals to make
Mercer's total 31. Mullins made a
foul shot good. Later he was fouled
again, and given two free throws,
both which were good. The scoring
ended here as the whistle sounded a
few minutes later at 31-29.
The .officials refused to accept
Coach Bohler's protest that the field
goal which Mullins shot when he was
fouled should be counted. They ruled
that Mullins shot the goal after the
whistle.

BEARING OF ATHLETICS ON
SCHOLARSHIP IS STRESSED
Worthy alarmists are constantly
preaching on the degeneration of our
colleges. They are, it appears, tem­ples
of athletics, where culture and
education have little place. Wealthy
graduates spend their days combing
the "prep" schools for husky "low­brows"
who perform miracles upon
the gridiron but maintain themselves
in the good graces of the dean only
with the concentrated aid of friends
and tutors. The obvious premise
upon which all this moralizing is
based is the assumption that athletics
and scholarship do not go together.
Somebody in the Carnegie Founda­tion
for the Advancement of Teach­ing
dared to doubt the premise. Un­der
the leadership of Dr. Howard J.
Savage more than a hundred colleges
have been studying their records to
find out whether it was true that
athletes were, in general, poor stu­dents.
Nearly a year ago Columbia
reported that it wasn't so. Some
months later Princeton chimed in.
And now Harvard seals the verdict.
Professor Donald Snedden reports,
MAY & GREEN
Men's Clothing
Sporting Goods
Montgomery, Alabama
after a study of the class of '27, that,
on the whole, the athletes tend to get
through college in a little less time
than non-athletes, although they have
a slightly, but not significantly lower
average in their grades. Nor does
careful analysis indicate that the ath­letes
have picked "snap" courses. "No
indictment or laudation of athletics,"
the professor concludes, "can fairly be
based- on this study."
One significant education may, how­ever,
be drawn from this report. Of
the 806 "regular" members of the
Harvard class of '27, 301 were on the
"game list" for seme one of the four­teen
listed sports and 341 were classed
as non-athletes. Presumably a large
number of these "non-athletes" com­peted
for the various teams without
making the squad. Presumably still
others regularly played' tennis or
squash or basketball or practiced in
the gymnasium. It is no longer a
minority of the student body which
takes an active part in athletics. Even
Harvard, which has been notoriously
backward in its gymnasium and other
facilities and has not even a swimming
pool is tending to approach that ath­letic
ideal of regular sport for every
student which has come so close to be­ing
realized uder the regime of Field­ing
H. Yost at the University of
Michigan.
Now, it is precisely the vast devel­opment
of the major sports which
has made this universal athletics pos­sible.

Students Will Write
Essays on College Life
American college students, both un-der-
graduates and graduates, have
been invited by "The New Republic"
to participate in an essay writing
contest. The purpose of this contest
is to find out from first-hand mater­ial
what kind of college students
would like to go to, and to encourage
thinking and writing about standards
of academic life.
"College As Is Might Be" is the
subject about which the articles should
be written. Thege essays are to be
judged from many different stan­dards.
If the college is located in a
small town, the essays therefrom will
not be judged along side of an essay
written by a student attending a large
university. Co-education is also to be
taken into consideration, along with
the advantages of the writer's own
college, and how these could be de­veloped.
Essays will be considered when writ­ten
by members of the college classes
from 1930—the present juniors—
back to members of the class of 1926.
No essay may exceed 2,000 words
and it must be received in the office
of "The New Republic" on or before
April 1, 1929. The name, class, col­lege,
home address, and in case of
alumni, the present occupation of the
author must appear on every manu­script.
When the articles have been judged
the writer of ihe best essay will re­ceive
the sum of $100, and his essay
will be published in the New Repub­lic,
if possible before the close of the
academic year. The writer of the
next best article will receive $75. The
editors reserve the privilege of sum­marizing
or extracting points from
other articles, or of buying them at
regular rates for publication.
All essays should be addressed to
the College Essay Editor, the New
Republic, 421 West 21st Street, New
York City. Every article will be
judged by a committee of prominent
men, some of whom are: Alexander
Meiklejohn of the University of Wis­consin,
author of "The Liberal Col­lege;"
Max McConn of Lehigh Uni­versity,
author of "College or Kinder­garten?";
and Ro"bert Moss Lovett of
the University of Chicago and of the
New Republic.
On last Thursday night, Beta Alpha
Sigma, Honorary and Professional
fraternity in Economics and Business,
held an initiation for ten of the out­standing
men of the economics depart­ment.
After the initiation smokes and
drinks were enjoyed by the members.
The new men taken in were: A. M.
Marshall, D. M. Jackson, T. M. Rob­erts,
Jr., W„ W. Rogers, A. M. Sewell,
J. W. Seutell, H. A. Emerick, Evans
Young, J. B. McClure, and E. D. Mc-
Corquodale.
The members are: Otis DeVaughn,
V. L. Collins, C. P. Austin, Jr., E. H.
Killgore, F. R. Daugette, F. L. Lase-ter,
G. A. Dozier, J. L. Little, E. W.
Howell, and Professors Herren and
Allen.
The purpose of Beta Alpha Sigma
is to study business conditions, to
strive to further the interest in the
Department of Economics and Busi­ness
Administration; to develop initia­tive,
a spirit of leadership, and a
higher scholastic standing among the
students of business.

SHIPPED FOR BEING
BOOTLEGGER BUT
TRIES TO GET BACK
youth passed the lines in the gymna-1 of government, and because of that
T. K. Harvin, Petersburg, Va., reg­istered
at North Carolina State last
year as a freshman civil engineer­ing
and suspended in January, 1928,
for five years on charges of boot-leg­ging,
bringing discredit on the col­lege,
and ungentlemanly conduct, will
not be allowed to remain in school
this term, with only one year of his
banishment served, the Student Coun­cil
decided Thursday afternoon.
Harvin returned to the college and
registered January 12 for courses this
term. Despite the fact that the regis­trar's
office is supposed to have a
"blacklist" of students who have been
shipped by the council, the Petersburg
sium and received his registration
card. How the afair went by unnotic­ed
until recently the council was un­able
to conjecture.
Action of the council this week in
affirming the suspension imposed by
last year's body was considered by
some of the members as the only pos­sible
course. Had this not been done
it would have been a virtual commut­ing
of the sentence passed upon the
offender. He will be required to leave
the campus immediately.
That Harvin possibly has cause for
legal action against the institution is
the opinion of Dr. C. E. Brooks, presi­dent
of the college. One council mem­ber
said he considered this of minor
importance, since the students of State
College have set up their own rules
fact should have the right to expel
those who do not comply.
Two others were indicted last year
with the Virginia boy as being com­plices
in his work. It was reported
the accused was seen carrying liquor
under his coat from an automobile out­side
of his room in Fifth dormitory.
Considerable comment was to be
heard among the students on the cam­pus
when they learned of the affair
until the matter was settled by action
of the council.
Rumors were heard of a similar case
several years ago, when a student was
allowed to reenter college after he
had been suspended by the council,
and this coupled with the present in­cident
set campus tongues waggering
again.
r oiks, how can I

by the Yale University Athletic Asso­ciation
last year, nearly all from foot­ball,
paid for the mass athletics of
which so much less is heard. And, if
no one can prove that athletics makes
scholarship, no one can longer assert
that athletics is a bar to good class­room
work; and what is there about
the colossus of athletics to cause so
much worry?—Herald-Tribune.
"Maybe the audience would be grateful if I stepped to
the footlights some night and voiced the above protest
about the 'coughing chorus' down in front.
But that wouldn't be kind and it wouldn't be just. The
cougher doesn't cough in public o n purpose. He can't
help it. It embarrasses him as much as it annoys his
neighbors.

MILITARY TRAINING IS LARGE
PART OF STUDENT WORK HERE
In line with a provision of the orig­inal
Morrill Act which was passed by
Congress in 1862 and created a Land-
Grant college in each state, military
training is an important part of the
student work at the Alabama Poly­technic
institute. It is required for
all freshmen and sophomores except a
few special students; and, in addition,
a large number of juniors and seniors
elect it. Records compiled by Major
John T. Kennedy, U. S. army officer
and commandant at Auburn, reveal
that an average of 1100 students are
engaged annually in military training
at Auburn.
From this number 125 reserve of­ficers
who are trained for service
and capable of leading men intelli­gently
in combat are added each year
to the reserve army ready to spring
into action should the need arise
In addition military training teaches
students proper respect for authori­ty;
it stresses precision and accuracy
in the discharge of duties; and it also
emphasizes promptness and reliabili­ty
in meeting obligations, Major Ken­nedy
said.
Two branches of military are now
taught at Auburn. One is field ar­tillery
and the other is engineers.
The work in each group requires two
hours of drill and two hours of class
work each week.
To give this instruction and to
supervise the drill, the United States
army stations at Auburn a staff of
regular officers who are members of
the faculty of the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute in addition to being army
officers. The present staff consists
of Major Kennedy, commandant; Cap­tain
J. M. Garrett, Captain B. Conn
Anderson, and Captain B. H. Bowley;
and Lieutenants C. P. Townsley, G.
B. Barth, W. B. Leitch, C. E. Pease,
and W. B. Higgins.
The training at Auburn requires

equipment valued at $750,000. This
includes 70 horses, two trucks, two
tractors, one mobile repair shop, 8 75-
millimeter guns, one 155-millimeter
gun, harness, saddles, fire control
equipment, etc.
Cadet officers working under the
army officers include a cadet colonel,
cadet lieutenant colonel, four majors,
and thirty captains in addition to
lieutenants and non-commissioned of­ficers.
All commissioned officers are
members of the senior class. Promo­tion
of officers is based upon military
proficiency, conduct, student. record,
and other qualifications to fill these
important positions.
With the experience of the World
War in mind, Congress in 1920, mak­ing
further provision for organized
reserves for which men trained at
Auburn become an important part.
Under this legislation, Major Kennedy
explained, the Army of the United
States consists of three components
which are the regular army, the na­tional
guard while in the service of
the United States, and the organized
reserves.
This act is in line with the spirit
of the United States and results in
maintaining preparedness while the
nation is at peace. It is designed to
do this at a minimum national cost
not to sacrifice efficiency in training,
and keep in reserve more men capa­ble
of serving as officers should the
need arise.
From the educational institutions—
such as Auburn—the officers reserve
corps gets most of its replacements.
By attending a military camp each
summer they are kept in touch with
the latest ideas in military training.
"The Reserve Officer's Training
Corps," said Major Kennedy, "is that
part of our present scheme of Na­tional
Defense which has for its ob­ject
the military training of the col­lege
student for the purpose of de­veloping
those youths of character and
education who will make the leaders
of future American manpower. The
Reserve Officer's Training Corps
means an assured supply of highly
intelligent Reserve Officers trained
and equipped to lead efficiently the
Reserve Army in the event of Nation­al
Emergency. It is believed that the
student who avails himself of the op­portunity
offered by the military de­partment
of this institution will grad­uate
a better man for himself, for his
family and for his country. He will
go out better prepared for peace as
well as for war."
Military training was one of the
initial courses offered after Auburn
became a state institution. Although
the Morrill act was passed by Con­gress
in 1862 during the Civil War,
it was not until February 26, 1872,
that the Alabama legislature accept­ed
the offer of the Methodist Episco­pal
Church, South, donating to the
state the college grounds, apparatus,
and good will of the East Alabama
Male College located at Auburn. It
became known as the Agricultural
and Mechanical College.
On March 22, 1872, the faculty, of
the new state institution was elected.
It consisted of the faculty of the old
East Alabama College plus two pro­fessors
and a commandant. A partial
reorganization of the faculty and re­organization
of the courses of study
soon followed; and, as a result of this
action, the first commencement of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
at Auburn took place July 20, 1873.
Then—as now—military was a feature
of the commencement program.

Brown, Secretary of the Alumni As­sociation,
who came here with con­siderable
responsibility toward athle­tics,
has been relieved of those re­sponsibilities
sometime since and the
athletic budget will be relieved of any
burden toward his salary in the new
year. Coach Lee is retained only for
part time work, or rather seasonal
work, which permits us to employ his
ability at a much less salary than an
annual salary. Additional short-time
assistants may be employed in the fu­ture
as in the past. .If it is possible
for us to arrange to do so, we will be
glad to get some of these men who
have resigned back for short-time
work.
"In the reorganization of the depart-men
of Physical Education, which is
distinct and somewhat separate from
the intercollegiate athletic department,
further rearrangement—which ought
to have been made long ago at
this institution—will without doubt
strengthen our situation both in an
organized way and particularly in a
financial way. As a result of the re­arrangement
we expect to save some
six or seven thousand dollars annual­ly.
Coach Bohler has done a wonderful
piece of work in reorganizing the bus­iness

department. I believe that his

A meeting in the form of a smoker
was held by the A. S. M. E. Tuesday
night in the reading room of Ramsay
Hall. All the professors were seated
about tables on which matches, cigars,
and cigaretts had been placed,' the
matches being arranged to form A.
S. M. E.
R. F. Tinsley opened the meeting,
expressing his appreciation of the
large attendance and then turning
the chair over to J. M. White,
chairman of the entertainment com­mittee,
who introduced those on the
program. Nieto and Waldheim gave
several Spanish love song selections,
with guitar accompaniment. The first
speaker of the evening was Dean Wil-more,
who gave a sketch of the Au­burn
of former days, telling about the
old buildings used as living quarters,
the lack of amusements, the inade­quate
sanitary facilities, and the co­eds
who were conspicuous by their
absence. Next, Professor Thomas told
of his freshman year in college and of
the tricks he and others used to play
on the upperclassmen. He also spoke
of the "Torch of Light" that the en­gineers
must uphold and carry for­ward.
Professor Roe gave a talk on
music and of his days at Cornell Uni­versity.
Professor Elizando talked
about the days when he first entered
Auburn, relating three'or four jokes
appropriate for the occasion.
The next item on the program was
the big event of the evening, in the
form of a mock poker game. The
game was played in regular Monte
Carlo style, each man being given
$25 worth of chips and the game be­ing
run by the banker, J. M.
White, who dealt all the cards and
declared the winner of each hand. A
limit of twenty minutes was placed
on the game, and a limit of $2.00
made. The contest was made all the
more interesting by Dean Willmore's
always trying to fill a straight, Pro­fessor
Hickson always trying to get
the cards in order to work a few
tricks with them and Professor Thom­as
being declared the biggest bluffer.
When the final count of the chips
was taken Professor Elizando was
winner and was presented with a bar
of soap with which to wash his dirty
playing, Professor McKinnon being in
the hole to the tune of $75 was given
an old razor so that he could get
some of the finer points of poker.
Professor McKinnon was the next
speaker on the program and told some
of the jokes for which he is famous.
After him Professor Hixon put on a
magic show. Professor Shubert urged
all those present to stay in close con*
tact with-the A. S. M. E. He was
followed by Professor Sahig, who told
how much the society had meant to
him.
The meeting was then turned over
to R. F. Tinsley who thanked those
present for their interest in the so­ciety
and invited all the Professors
to be present at any meeting of the

The San Gabriel Dam in California

Its cost will be $25,000,000 and 4,-

be involved in its construction.
constructive work will show along
these lines much more next year than
they have the past year.
"I know how difficult the situation
is. I have devoted as much time to
thinking about it as to any other prob­lem
at Auburn. In fact, it has slowed
up some of the other constructive
things which I felt needed my time
and strength. I do sincerely think it
is unfair to take a man on for one
year and then dismiss him, even if
you are financially able to pay the
contract in full. I like the idea of
giving a man a square chance and a
square deal. I feel sure that we will
make some progress and I know we
will if we can get a little more unity,
and I feel that this unity-is coming
and coming rapidly. Some of these
'things may be disappointments to
some peopje. For that, I shall be
sincerely sorry, and have no right to
ask any other thing than this one;
namely, patient, constructive, united
and courageous teamwork. I would
have given a great deal had the athletic
situation been a clean slate. It was
not and, as I have pointed out, the
task of bringing harmony and suc­cess,
as well as victory out of it, is a
task which is going to require time.
With patient, constructive and loyal
support we can reach these objec­tives."
