Make Splendid Showing
A vicious, blood-thirsty Tiger with
the strength of sixteen-hundred men,
it's fighting blood aroused, roared
with a never-ceasing clamor all
Thursday night. Tonight that same
Tiger is stalking its ancient prey,
the upstate Panther.
The Auburn of Thursday night was
not. a ghost of the old Auburn but
the flesh and blood of the newer and
greater Auburn. Never before have
the Auburn backers showed such wild
and uncontrollable enthusiasm. His­toric
old Langdon Hall reverberated
in every beam with the yells of six­teen-
hundred loyal students. The
seats weer filled, the aisles were
crowded, and masses thronged the
doors to join the throng of the loyal
Auburn backers. The Auburn student
body, with its invincible spirit that
is known from coast to coast, showed
without a doubt that it~is backing the
team to the last man and until the
last whistle blows in tonight's game.
The pinnacle of vicfory is the goal
of every Auburnite.
Nothing can stop such spirit as
this, not even the fighting Panther.
All storms will be faced with the old
fighting spirit that predominated the
campus on the eve of the game and
the school is confident that the team
will "bring home the bacon". "Bud­die"
Baxter's new assistant cheer­leaders
showed up like veterans in
last night's rally. The old yells of
Auburn were given with a vengen-ance,
and the Captain of the good
old ship of Aiiburn, was greeted with
an uncontrollable outbrust of enthu­siasm
as Tie stepped on the stage for
a few words.
Fifteen cheers for the team, that
probably the people in Montgomery
heard at the time, were given and
then the sixteen-hundred loyal back­ers
of old Auburn marched through
the Village of the Plains, to let the
people know that they were going
to bring back with them the head of
the fighting Panther.

Game In Montgomery
"Make the members of the football
team feel that you want them to win
always," was the advice given Auburn
students by Dr. Knapp at the convo­cations
held Thursday morning in
Langdon Hall. Two assemblies were
held on account of the lack of space
in the college chapel; the upper class­men
met at eleven o'clock, the fresh­men
at eleven-thirty.
The college president stressed the
fact that the Tigers were going into
the Birmingham-Southern game with
all their force, and that a unified
backing of the student body was need­ed
in order that the team might win.
He also stated that the Plainsmen
should be encouraged during the daily
practices.
"Prexy" told the undergraduates
that it was with regrets that he would
have to miss the game tonight; he is
appearing before the Federal Radio
Commission in Washington today to
discuss the possibilities of improving
Station WAPI. Dr. Knapp assured
everyone, however, that he would be
waiting up tonight for a telegram
telling that Auburn had crushed the
Panthers from Birmingham. He com­mented
on the freshman team, saying
that it was a "dandy bunch," and urg­ed
the students to back them also.
In concluding, Dr. Knapp said that
everything was being done to settle
the Sunday movie problem. Langdon
Hall was well crowded by students
and faculty members at both convoca­tions.
Seven hundred and fifty young
ladies throughout the South have re­ceived
bids to the Sophomore Hop
which will take place Friday and
Saturday, October 4 and 5. Over one
hundred girls have accepted the in
vitations to -the opening dances.
Maynard Baird's twelve piece or
chestra, of Knoxyille, has been en
gaged to play for the affair. This or­ganization
is widely known over this
part of the country and has played
for social activities at many colleges.
Miss Anita Mitchell, of Huntsville,
and Jim Boswell will lead the Grand
March at the Friday night dance.
House parties will be given by four
fraternities; they are Alpha Gamma
Rho, Theta Kappa Nu, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, and Phi Delta Theta. The
Interfraternity Council, Scabbard
and Blade, and the "A" Club will
have reserved dances during the hop.
The Social •Committee, which has
charge of the social activities at Au­burn,
has announced that Charlie
Davis and Streeter Wiatt have been
awarded the contract to decorate the
Gym. The decorations will be very
simple.
Beta Alpha Sigma Send

Beta Alpha Sigma, local honorary
commerce fraternity on the Auburn
campus, has been asked to send two
delegates to the southern provincial
convention of Delta Sigma Pi national
honorary commerce fraternity which
the local group is petitioning, to be
held in Atlanta on October 5. H. O.
Davis and E. W. Howell will repre­sent
the Auburn organization.
In addition to business sessions the
convention will be featured by a ban­quet,
dance, and football party at the
Tech-Mississippi Aggies game. H. G.
Wright, grand secretary and treasur­er,
of Chicago, will preside.

doctor's orders for several months,
until last week when death claimed
her.
National Society Recognizes
Record Production Of
J e r s e y Cows
The dairy department of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, under the
direction of A. D. Burke, carried
away honors in milk and butter pro­duction
when two prize cows of the
department were awarded the Regis­ter
of Merit of the American Jersey
Cattle Club.
Glorina's Eunice 543249, a pure­bred
Jersey cow, qualified lor the
Register of Merit upon completion of
an official production test in which
she yielded 545.64 pounds of butter
fat and 10,235 pounds of milk in 305
days. Eunice was started on this test
when she was 6 years and 4 months of
age. Her sire is Hood's Sophie's Tor­mentor
3rd, and her dam is Sadie's
Noble Glorina.
Auburn Pogis' Blanchia 702585, also
a purebred Jersey, qualified for the
award upon a record production of
403.79 pounds of butterfat and 6995
pounds of milk in 305 days, the pro­duction
test beginning when she was
only 2 years and 4 months of age. Her
sire is Sally's Fairy Boy, and her dam
is Rioter Gus' Duchess Pogis.

PLAINSMAN STAFF
There will be a meeting of the Edi­torial
Staff at the Y. M. C. A. Sun­day
night at seven thirty. It is very
necessary that all members be pres­ent.
A. V. Blankenship,
Editor-in-Chief.
The Auburn "war boys" have laid
aside the more serious task of prepar­ing
to fight for the old U. S. A. and
have donned football togs to fight for
good old Auburn. They have dropped
their guns and bayonets and have
taken up in their stead the equipment
with which to battle on the football
field. The old army formations are
laid aside for newer and more excit­ing
football formations. The old mil­itary
commands have been replaced
on the field by the system of every
man shifting for himself in the best
way possible.
There is a great deal of interest
in this form of sport this year and a
great number of men have reported
for duty to fight for places on one
of these teams. Several men, because
of their good showing in this type of
ball have been chosen to contend for
places on the Freshman squad. There
is expected to be keen competition
in intramural football as from present
indication and from comment of the
coaches all Battalions will have good
teams.
Interest runs high in intramural
football this year as the winner of
the school honors will have several
good trips to make as they will go
out to meet several hard High School
opponents. The first scheduled game
of the season will be staged next
Thursday. This game will be played
between the first and second bat­talions
of the Field Artillery. This

Egg Laying Contest.
Begins In Few Weeks
Hens From This and Foreign Coun­tries
Will Be Entered
Under the joint cooperation of the
Extension Service and poultry de­partment
of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, a national egg-laying con­test
of eleven months duration will
begin within a few weeks. This will
be the sixth race of this kind to be
held in Auburn.
Hens from this and foreign coun­tries
are expected to be in this mam­moth
race. No hen will be refused
entrance because of her place of resi­dence;
however, only purebreds of a
standard variety will be accepted.
The foremost captains of the industry
of the world will compete in the con­test.
The hens will have the best equip­ped
plant in the United States in
which to live. Every modern conveni­ence
for the chickens will be had. A
hospital for the sick and an isolation
house for the diseased are to be had,
while the houses in which the hens
will live will be up to date in every
respect. Only an experienced poul-tryman
will handle the birds.
NOTICE
All Seniors who wish to purchase
rings, see anyone of the following
committees: Hayley Milligan, Chair­man;
A. L. Morrison; Norman Ulges;
"Stumpy" Granger.
The final cries in the "Village of
the Plains"—"Eat'm up Tigers," "War
Eagle," and "Beat Southern" sound­ed
throughout the Auburn campus, as
Coach George M. Bohler and his
"roamers of the forest" refueled their
grid guns with ammunitions to seek
revenge. Their first foes being the
Birmingham-Southern Panthers at
Montgomery tonight in the arclight
clash. Coach Bohler departed from
the Plains with a squad of record size.
Predictions on the results of the
game are simply out of the question.
Even were the strength of the team
something which which could be
guaged accurately in advance, a
glance at the Auburn gird scores for
the past two years would reveal the
futility of prophecy. It is not all a
question of the team's strength or
that of the team they are facing; it
is mostly that of making the team
believe in themselves that they can
do it and are going to do it or die
trying. It might be said right here
that the mental attitude of the Au­burn
Tiger gridders at present is
farther above par than it has been
for the past three years. With only
eight veterans returning from last
year's team Bohler has had some big
holes to patch.
Of last year's line, Captain Howell
"Shorty" Long, his brother, Grady
Long, Joe Burt, and Carl Schlich at
guards, and Dunham Harkins at cen
ter, are back. Making four veterans
Bohler had to chose his starting
guards from, and one center. Har­kins
has the size, experience and abil­ity
to toss the pigskin back from the
center post on any Southern Confer­ence
team, so Bohler had no right to
lose any sleep over a man to station
at center. Captain "Shorty" Long is
holding down one of the guards in a
highly satisfactory manner and is the
other most valuable lineman on the
team. These two men are expected
to make a strong bid for the All-
Southern selection this year and will
be watched with much interest by
many of the sport critics.
At tackles, Jacobs, a Junior, "Erk"
Taylor, who played in several games
last year, and J. D. Bush, a 170-
pounder who played with the Fresh­men
last year, seem the best of the
available material. Ralph Jordan,
who also played on the Freshman
team last year, will be on hand to
relieve Harkins at center. Louis
Jacobs, Junior tackle and the man-mountain
from Bessemer High, seems
to be the new timber that is making
the strongest bid for the shoes left
vacant by Captain "Nick" Carter.
At ends, George Egge, Louis Mc-
Ree, Carl Creel, and Joe Andrews
are all hustling for the flankmen
duties. The first two mentioned are
the most likely ones to start. Both
these two gridders hail from the
Capital City where they have per­formed
on the local High School
teams for four years. Last year they
were both on the Freshmen team.
Herman Jones seems likely to oc­cupy
the quarterback position. Jones
saw a great deal of service in several
of the games last year, but this will
be his first time to call signals for
the Orange and Blue eleven. The ab­sence
of Frank Tuxworth at this post
will be missed more than any other
places on the team left vacant by
graduation and other causes. Chattie
Davidson, who also played on the
Freshman team last year with Egge,
McRee, Young, Pate, and others, is
ready to relieve Jones at any moment.
Davidson also hails from Montgomery.
There is no thought that Jones will
attempt to discharge all the duties
that Tuxworth performed, but he is
cool and a good judge of plays in a
crisis.
Howard Chappelle, the triple-threat
f ullbacTc from Woodlawn High,
is unable to put in his appearance on
the grid field tonight and is greatly
missed. Forney Yarbrough,. the son
of an All-Southern Auburn gridder
back in the nineties,- wjUjprobably
take his place. However, "Stumpj
Granger, a • veteran from last year,
will be the most likely man to fill
the battering-ram job of fullback.
Granger can back up a line as good
as any gridder Auburn has met in
quite a while.
"Frock" Pate returned to the
"Plains" this week and dropped
another question in the bucket for
Bohler to worry about over his start­ing
halfbacks. However, there is no
question as to the ability of Pate at
carrying the ole Pigskin. Pate was
an outstanding back at the Woodlawn
High school for four years and con­tinued
his success on the Freshman
team last year. If Pate displays con­sistently
the same running game
which he showed in flashes last year,
he will probably make as much yard­age
as any man on the Tiger ma­chine.
Leo Young, who hails from Mon­roe,
La., was another outstanding ball
toter on the Rat team last year and is
fast enough to make a good running
mate for Pate. Alt. Captain Porter
Callahan, Jim Crawford and Lindley
Hatfield are the other three hustling
halfs. Callahan and Crawford are the
oldest heads at the game and are the
most likely to open against the Pan­thers,
to bear the brunt of the work
at the halves. On their records they
rate as fairly good; with the past ad-"
ded season's experience they are ex­pected
to bring Auburn's running
game to a higher level of power.
The probable line-up for both teams
with numbers is as follows:
AUBURN FOB.
Egge (84) LE
Newton (68) LT
G. Long (86) LG
Harkins (58) C
H. Long (Capt.)(lT)RG
Taylor (67) RT

Crawford (31) RH

The officials for the game are as
follows:

head linesman; E. W. Kalk-man,
field judge; C. E. Johnson, time
keeper.

Health Officers Look
For Mosquito Breeding
Report Shows That Streams About
Auburn Free From Larvia
On inspection for mosquito breeding
in Auburn was made by Porter L.
Musick, Lee County Sanitary Inspec­tor,
on September 19, 1929. A care­ful
check was made of all the small
streams and marshes which are in the
spraying area. In the sewerage
branch running from the A. P. I. vet­erinary
building there was some Culex
larvia. Where this branch runs into
the sewerage branch there was a con­siderable
amount of Culex larvia. All
other streams were found to be free
from mosquito breeding of any type.

Open Letter Means
Of Improving Conditions
At the present time, the beginning of the
semester, when policies are fashioned and
•
opinions of various matters are formed
there is an evident need of public discussion
on the many different things which are to
affect all of us for the next nine months.
Yet it seems as if the student body has fail­ed
to. realize that they have at their dis-
'pbsal the best medium of expression that
the world has ever known, the newspaper.
The editorial page of The Plainsman is open
to the student body as a mode of expressing
their ideas publicly. Up to date there have
been few letters received by the editor from
any of the student body.
The Plainsman endeavors to represent the
school at large, to keep its finger on the
pulse of student opinion and interpret the
throbs felt there. However, it is hard for
us to sense correctly the exact consensus of
opinion about matters in which all of us
are interested. It is quite true that the edi­torial
staff of The Plainsman is made up of
students, yet it is a difficult assignment
for such a small number to know by person­al
contact the feeling of everyone on the
campus. Some other means of intercourse
must be used if the paper is to be represen­tative,
and the only practical solution to
the problem is written communications.
Last year there was at least one letter
published each week in the editorial col­umns
of the paper and in many cases much
good resulted. The discontinuance of fresh­man
hair cutting resulted partially from
letters published on this page. If anyone
has what he believes to be a good idea which
affects the student body and needs a little
help to put it across, this page of The
Plainsman is open to you. Here one may
set his ideas before the whole school and if
they are good, results will not be long in
forthcoming.
There are many things which . happen
around the campus from time to time that
fail to come to our attention. Perhaps they
are discussed pro and con among a rela­tively
small group of students, but the mat­ter
is dropped there. Nobody benefits from
these arguments unless some action is taken
and this is never done unless it is brought
to the attention of a majority of the stu­dents.
There are many current questions at
the present time upon which a little discus­sion
would not be amiss. It is up to the stu­dents
to let us know of their opinions on
some of these subjects.
Music Department
A Progressive Move
Auburn grows, and perhaps the evidence
of it in buildings is not of outranking im­portance.
The curricula has broadened and
expanded on all sides to include subjects
which, but for being pointed out, might seem
insignificant to a few of us who are wont to
consider only superficially those subjects
which do not have direct bearing on "mak­ing
a living."
The new department of music, established
only this year, with Professor J. W. Brig-ham
as head, is to be considered as marking
a step in the history of Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute. It speaks out that we are
growing aesthetically. For some this is in­deed
heartening; it is even the only genuine
sign of a progress for which we are con­tinually
and forever striving, and rarely
attain.
Music, being the greatest of the informal
philosophies, and expressive of the finer
sentiment's of the human soul, should nat­urally
find a place In our system of educa­tion.
It relieves one of the hard realities
of the material things of life. Especially
is this desirable for a people in the atmos­phere
of a technical school, where often
the rule is "catch as'catch can."
Music removes a part of the uncouthness
from our education. In fact no education
is complete without a perspective knowledge
of music. It has a civilizing tendency, ag-gregatively
speaking. Though it may not
offer each and all of us unboundless op­portunity
for accruing wealth, it certainly
offers something equally as desirable, in the
form of the beauties of life, the human soul
spread on the printed page, and the phos­phorescence
of great moments.
CURBING CARELESSNESS
The matter of checking careless drivers
on the highways is commanding the atten­tion
of officials in a number of States, not­ably
New York and Connecticut. Each of
these states have laws requiring licenses
for all drivers and while t h a t has operated
to mitigation of the menace, it has not
brought the results desired, so another step
has been taken. The new law put into
operation fortifies the license law. Under
it, if judgment is recorded against a per­son
as a result of an automobile accident,
which caused personal injury or damage to
the amount of at least $100, before a
license is again given to the driver at
fault he must show proof of having satis­fied
judgment up to $5,000 for the injury
or death of one person, $10,000 for the in­jury
or death of two persons and ''$1,000
for damage to the property of others. It
also provides that such a driver must show
proof of financial responsibility for future
operation of his car.—Charlotte Observer.
Possibly if some such law were passed
in this state, there would be a decrease "in
the number of accidents. More careful
driving would be the order of the day,
while fatalities would almost entirely dis­appear
with the price of carelessness so
great.
Letters to the Editor
Auburn, Alabama,
September 23, 1929.
Editor of The Plainsman,
Auburn, Alabama.
Dear Editor:
As I sit in my room and think of the
existing conditions here in Auburn, it is
with a hope that some day the narrow-minded
people of this city will pass into
the great beyond and there be worried not
with the affairs of a wicked World. There
are a number of fine people in Auburn and
this refers not to those but to the others
who do nothing but gossip. Auburn should
be state headquarters for a women's gos­siping
association and I think they should
be allowed to carry guidon at all parades
and county affairs.
They may mean well, but it certainly does
not take well with the student body. Why
they should be so interested in the affairs
of the student body is more than I can
see. A large number of them derive their
living through the students, either direct­ly,
or indirectly, and they should be willing
to see the college grow and develop along
with other colleges in the South.
I know the town is small but why should
the knitting circle and other such organiza­tions
condemn every act of the students.
If they put as much time into their own
affairs as we do in our own, then they
would have less time for talk and more for
the duties of a housewife. I am wondering
if they ever fihd time enough to read a
good wholesome book or attend a good
movie, I doubt it. However, it would broad­en
their vision a bit.
It is true that all small towns have a lot
of people who do nothing but gossip, but it
seems that Auburn has more than its quota.
Then too, they could change subjects after
riding one for ten or twelve' years.
They were successful in having the life
class removed from the Architectural De­partment'.
Probably they know more about
art. Yes, probably. They 'were shocked
at the appearance of boys in track uni­forms.
They threw up their hands in hor­ror
when girls entered fraternity houses,
and as to their next victim, we are only
waiting to see. It will probably be cigar­ette
smokers or boys staying out until 9
o'clock at night.
The students at Auburn are fair and
open-minded and a large majority are of
a sane mind. They are old enough to con­duct
themselves as gentlemen and without
the guidance of those who know very lit­tle
of life.
The students here are willing to obey the
college regulations and cooperate to the ful­lest
extent with the Administration. They
believe in the head of the college and are
all hoping to see Auburn become the Cor­nerstone
of Education. I believe the opin­ions
expressed in this letter are shared by
a number of students and not by the writer
alone.
A late thought. If they succeed in stop­ping
the Sunday shows, we will all get to­gether
and organize a drop-the-hankerchief
club.
We, You AND THEY.
"Little Things"
By Tom Bigbee
You have doubtless heard quite a bit
about the animosity which exists between
two prominent Alabama colleges—Auburn
and the University of Alabama. We have
come to believe that this friction is now "a
thing that was"; it can, with a veritable
degree of truth and safety, be stated that
not a single Auburn student today bears the
slightest ill will against the Capstone in­stitution.
The present student body here
very deeply regrets the fact that such a
circumstance ever existed, and we feel sure
each member is anxious to wipe out all
traces of memory concerning it.
Only last Sunday a prominent Auburn
student reported the very friendliest of re­lations
and association with representatives
from this sister institution in a summer
training camp last June. At the R. O. T.
C. camp in Georgia, Auburn and Alabama
students mingled^ as brothers. And this
is typically indicative of the true spirit
which exists between students from these
campuses.
Possibly old graduates, retaining a bit
of prejudice in their hearts, would have
us believe that Auburn and Alabama will
never be on the proper friendly terms again;
this, however, is not true. All that is need­ed
now is to forget the past, which floats
back to us from outside reports, and re­establish
a feeling of real brotherhood with
our friends at a friendly college—the Uni­versity.-
This mistake of our fathers has
had its day of strife; it is now time for
us to throw it aside.
It is no longer ours to pick at old wounds
which can never result in any good what­soever.
When the occasion presents itself,
speak well of this institute of learning,
which stands for the same principles that
govern our own purpose here. Tell the
world that we at Auburn no longer feel
the sting of old hatreds which should never
have existed.
We wonder just which column of this
paper is your pet section. Perhaps it is
"Prexy's Paragraphs," or the sports sec­tion,
or the editorials, or doubtless the
"Well, I'd Say This" column. We conclude
that all these sections are good. If you
think them shoddy, go to those who are
responsible with your complaints—never
stop and maliciously "chew the rag" with
some fellow about their defects; for this
can never result in any benefit to either
you or the columnist.
Some few men have been noticed con­ducting
such practices. Members of the
staff will appreciate criticism handed direct
far more; try it.
In his recent gift to the college, an X-Ray
outfit, Dr. H. B. Peacock who resides
in Auburn, has rendered a very commend­able
service to the institution. By this act
he has proven his staunch loyalty to A. P.
I.,'and his faith in progressive efforts be­ing
put forth here. Friends of this type
are what bear heavily toward the upbuild-of
the institution.
Seemingly we have a lively subject be­fore
us now—the matter of Sunday movies.
Judging from the reaction of the students
—being expressed through letters to the
editor, street corner conversations, et cet­era,
quite a bit of thought is now being
given this matter locally.
We rejoice in the fact that this is a
place of free thought and ideas. However,
we doubt the advisability of making a
broad "scene" of this local question. If
you are not in sympathy with such prac­tices
as are prevalent in this community,
why create any antagonism outside by be­wailing
the situation to parents or friends
back home? That cannot prove helpful to
the problems here on the campus or in
town.
Isn't it a tragedy that the fall dances so
timely coincide with the first grand rush
of quizzes? And yet they tell us that pro­fessors
are human! So much that they are
a bit forgetful of our "high moments", pos­sibly.
Somebody is arguing that Auburn's foot­ball
team isn't fighting this season; has
this pessimist not aroused from the slumber
into which he drifted on the return trip to
the Village more than two weeks ago? We
hope that some brother will be so gener­ous
as to awaken him in time to attend the
game Friday night and see that the fight
in the Auburn Tiger is never at a lull.
That precious little strip of red, white
and blue ribbon which marks Scabbard and
Blade pledges is now adorning the proud
personality of our higher military aspir­ants.
And they carry the adornment with
a military bearing that the underdogs
among the Cadet Corps rightfully envy.
Our hats are off to these men.
With no uncertain degree of enthusiasm
we note the interest now being shown in a
future Auburn Glee Club. Again this in­stitution
is preparing to show to the world
that Auburn boys can sing, as well as
holler at football games.
Don't you like to check up on other col­leges
of the country, just to make sure
that Auburn still stands on top? You can
easily do this by turning to the "With
Other Colleges" column on this page, which
is very interestingly prepared.

Auburn is getting better. She had a Sunday show, and the first thing we
know we can get drinks over the counter of our favorite hang-out, while if the
city officials are real sweet, they might get them for nothing. Some of them might

We hear that a student went over to Montevallo a couple of days ago and tried
to meet some of the girls. He wasn't very successful though on account of not
having any "IT." He immediately changed to his new ROTC uniform in the front
of a gas buggy, and right then he became the most sought guy in town. Another
victory chalked up for the new outfit.

The Civils in Bacteriology regret to state that they were unable to make class
Wednesday out in the Veterinary Gardens on account of the recent (b-rain) storm

Plans are being made to have the Vet Professor come to Ramsay to hold session
from now on. Jakie says, "This is the greatest piece of luck we have had this
semester," while Cockleburr Wilson attributes the success of the class to its great
organization. We suppose he organized it.

STUDENTS MUST GO TO CHURCH!
One of the rules of Southwestern is that
all students go to church every Sunday
morning. Reports are made once every six
weeks on church attendance. Students are
placed on their honor in the matter of re­porting.
New students are advised to attend the
church of their own choice. The upper-classmen,
it is understood, will select the
church of their girl's own choice.

WHY NOT?
The Clemson Tiger states, "One dollar

cents and send her a full grown lion?
Still better than that, it takes only two

a" Scotchman, you might even give her the

NOTHING ELSE TO DO
At a meeting of the students at Liv­ingston
Teachers College approved pro­posals
for study in the dormitory from
seven until ten P. M. quiet hour for two
hours each Sunday and two trips to town
each week. Can you picture it? Why not
make it more complete and put bars around
them? Nothing but children attend col­leges
now days you know, and it is very
essential that the college officials guard
their welfare very carefully.

The students in Berlin are rather cramp­ed
in style. It seems that 1800 waiters
in the refilling stations are walking out
on a strike. It is hard to say just yet
whether the students will attend their
football games, now or not, since they are
finding it difficult to be served beer. Why
not pass another law? That seems to be
the national pastime now; trying to in­vent,
discover or create room for one more
law. It doesn't seem to matter whether
the law has merits or demerits, just as long
as a law is passed.
POOR THINGS
The co-eds in China who wear short

This is to induce them to dress like their

be interested? What's the population now?

MOUNTAINEERS A DAUNTLESS CREW
The West Virginia Mountaineers have
a schedule this year that would scare even
the champions. With a great chance for
extra hard sledding before the season has
fairly gotten under way, these boys have
decided to surprise some of the pessimism
out of their friends. Although there are
ten lettermen missing this season, the team
is going to be strong, for everyone is fight­ing.
And with their heart in the game it is
going to be hard to defeat them.

CAROLINA HIT HARD
Last week several of Carolina's main­stays
were in an automobile wreck; four of
them may not start the season, but that
does not make the school surrender to
despair. Even if it does seem that they are
inevitably doomed to misfortune, hope is
still high in their breast to defeat Wake
Forest, their nemesis, next Saturday.

TULANE A DARK HORSE
• The whole South is wondering what Tu-lane
has in store in the way of football
this year. From various sources have come
bad as well as good reports. In the past
Tulane has often worked hard and had a
good team, but something would happen to
cause it to fall by the wayside. Sometimes
the other teams in the Conference have
proved too strong, while occasionally she
simply could not stand the pace. However,
this year everything seems to be changed
as the season approaches. We wonder if
Tulane will not do something to her op­ponents
down in her own backyard where
conditions favor her greatly.

* * * * *
ONE HEARS a great deal of lamenta­tion
to the effect that Auburn is
fast becoming a "pink tea" school.
In support of this it is pointed out that
the freshmen no longer have to cut their
hair, that the College of Engineering has
been reduced to the status of a mere school,
on a basis, say, with the School of Phar­macy
and that as a final blow the old Au­burn
yells and battle cries are to be ex­purgated.
Well, what of it? No one will
deny that the Freshman Class presents a
much more refined and dignified appear­ance
than any class of the past few years
at least. Also it is incontrovertible that an
institution no larger than Auburn is not
entitled to class its different departments
as colleges and schools. This was pure
vanity and gave a false impression of
Auburn's size and importance. Finally,
why should there be any bjbjection to
the delition of a few words from the yells?
They are just a few silly expletives which
shocked no one, as we were so fond of
imagining. Of course these were our tradi­tions,
the components of Auburn's indivi­duality.
Just a few foolish traditions—but
that was Auburn. All that is behind us now
and we press invincibly onward towards
that glorious eminence where stands our
sister institution, the University of Ala­bama,
proudly boasting an enrollment of
over three thousand students. Let this now
be our goal—to grow in size and worldly
importance. More students we must have
whether they are really students or not.
And if we falter there is always the iron
hand of our master, clothed, according to
the Italian fashion in a velvet glove, to
urge us on. One only sees and feels the
suave velvet but it is easy to imagine the
harsh iron beneath.
* * * * *
THAT there are a great number of
men who come to Auburn every year
without having definitely decided
upon the course which they are to
follow is evidenced by the many who
change courses at the end of their freshman
year. Without showing undue partiality
for any course I would like to suggest that
every man in school ought to give serious
consideration to his requirements before
deciding upon any but a technical course.
For the man who wishes merely a general
education, without specialization in such
conflicting subjects as agriculture or edu­cation,
the choice of a technical course
with a careful selection of electives in the
School of Science and Literature, would
appear to be inevitable. Without wishing
to imply anything to the detriment of
purely academic courses, it seems indisput­able
that the technically educated man is,
generally speaking, the most broadly edu­cated
man. This is especially true of the
modern college graduate for, in most cases
it is only the engineering student who
has had to acquire more than a smattering
of Mathematics, a thorough knowledge of
which, all educators now agree, is essential
to an understanding of the nature of the
physical world. The day is past when the
man who knows only Latin and Greek can
be taken as a criterion of true culture.
This does not mean that engineering stu­dents
are always the best educated, for
many of them are woefully ignorant. How­ever,
it cannot be denied that they have
the best chance to obtain a broad and gen­eral
education.
* * * * **
ONE of the most pertinent questions
confronting modern philosophers is
whether man will eventually become
the slaves of the machines which he now
uses to increase his comfort. That this is
no fantastic prediction is easily seen when
one notes the number of people who de­light
in i-eferring to such a simple me­chanism
as the radio as miraculous and
regard Edison as a wizard who is capable
of producing inventions out of thin air of
scientific ignorance. It is indeed an omin­ous
sign for modern civilization that there
should be such a divergence between aca­demic
and technical education.
A MAN TO A SUNFLOWER

See, I have bent thee by thy saffron hair
—O most strange masker—
Towards my face, thy face so full of

—O almost legendary monster—
Thee of the saffron, circling hair I bend,
Bend by my fingers knotted in thy hair
—Hair like broad flames.
So, shall I swear by beech-husk, spindle-berry,
To break thee, saffron hair and peering
eye,
—To have the mastery?
—Peter Quennell.

THE TREES AT NIGHT
Under vague silver moonlight
The trees are lovely and ghostly
In the pale blue of the night
There are few stars to see. - .
The leaves are green still, but brown-blent:
They stir not, only known
By a .poignant delicate scent
To the lonely moon blown.
The lonely lovely trees sigh
For summer spent and gone:
A few homing leaves drift by,
Poor souls bewildered and wan.

Dance Enjoyed by Girls
at Smith Hall
Under the inspiration of Miss
Dobbs, there is held annually a de­lightful
dance at Smith Hall for new
girls. The old girls are dressed as
men, and there is much merriment
over the collection of suitable apparel
they have brought from their homes.
Each new girl has an escort and there
are many breaks. Tiny feet peeped out
from under long trousers and twink­led
over the floor in constant action,
or was this not the' last night of
closed rush week for sororities?
Bi*ains were as actively at work as
feet in the lovely assemblage. Punch
was served and the dance ended at
eleven. Before the last dance each
old girl drew a name. The girl whose
name was drawn is to be her Little
Sister for the year. Then Big and
Little Sister danced together and the
orchestra played "Home, Sweet
Home."

response for the bosses was made by
Dean Scott.
The program was very entertaining.
An amusing part of it was the de­bate,
Resolved: The business girl ain't
what she used to be forty-nine years
ago. On the affirmative Mrs. Beu-lah
Van Wagenen brought - forth
strong argument to combat that of
the negative side represented by Pro­fessor
J. M. Robinson. The decision
was sung by the Club in a song, The
Business Girl, She Ain't What She
Used To Be. The delightful hour and
one-half was closed with a song to the
bosses.

TIGERS DETERMINED TO STAGE
COME-BACK ON GRID THIS YEAR
By Dick Jones
The Auburn Tigers, more anxious
than ever before to stage a glorious
"Come-back," have started on their
fourth successive week of honest-to-goodness
tough training. Last Fri­day
and Saturday the A. P. I. Stu­dent
body, who are holding their
breath until next Friday, witnessed
an unusually tough scramble between
the scrappy McFaden yearlings and
the hard working Bohler huskies. And
the present week has found more en­thusiasm
in the Plainsmen than has
been noticed in quite a while.
The unusually tough schedule fac­ing
Auburn this year has been turned
aside and almost all minds set on grab­bing
off their initial battle with the
Birmingham-Southern Panthers to
start the season off with a "bang."
They will clash next Friday night at
Montgomery in Cramton Bowl. From
all indications a final decision is al­most
impossible to be made. How-er",
f rbm the coaches standpoint, Au­burn
has a good fighting chance, but
from the teams standpoint—well, con­sidering
the past of both—the Panth­ers
have an edge on the Tigers.
There are many other things that
must be considered as of more im­portance,
when the teams are the
judges. Bohler could easily be de­termined
the coach working under
the greatest handicap, and is consid­ered
as such by many critics. Only
eight lettermen answered his call for
grid aspirants this fall and one with
a fractured knee. The one on the in­jured
list being Hamp Green, a hust­ling
pivot man from Pensacola, Fla."
No veterans reported for either ends
or tackles, or the quarterback and
fullback posts*. Which means an al­most
entirely new outfit will make the
'Alabama Polytechnic Institutes 1929
debut on the gridiron field September
27.
Coaches Bohler and Floyd are still
uncertain about their opening lineup,
but from the way Dunnam Harkins,
the Jones Valley Hi star, handles the
center post in all scrimmages without
difficulty, he is likely to snap the pig­skin
back on the first play when Au­burn
takes the offense. Another sure
starter will be Captain Howell
"Shorty" Long. "Shorty" has a slew
of ways to handle his opponents, while
working at his guard post, and the
gridder that gets the jump on him
this year can say he conquered a real
man, but not with the slightest diffi­culty.
Dr. Bradford Knapp, who is now be­ginning
his second year as president
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
following a great successful year, has
a keen interest in the team and has
strived earnestly to get them success­fully
started. In his recent "Prexy's
Paragraphs," which is published in the
school paper each week, Dr. Knapp
stated the following words concerning
the football team. "I have been in­terested
to see the preliminary re­ports
by certain prominent sports
writers regarding Auburn's team. I
have been out on the field to see what
the boys are doing. The best sign I
see is an apparent fine spirit, a wil­lingness
to work, good team work and
a dandy hard-working captain encour­aging
the boys under the leadership
of the coaches. Let the sports writer?
say what they will. So far as we a^e
concerned we ought to know that
there are five things necessary to win
football games.: (1) The will to win,
(2) The will, t d make the-necessary
sacrifice and to do the necessary hard
work, (3) Unity of spirit and not dis­cord.
This must be in the student
body and supporters of the team as
well as in the team itself, (4) Highly
developed mental capacity on the part
of the team. In other words, a smart
team, knowing football and being able
to think fast and act quick, (5) The
very pink of condition on the part of
the team. Nobody can dissipate, be up

CHATTIE DAVIDSON
One of the outstanding younger
players of this season is "Chat'tie"
Davidson. He came to Auburn from
Sidney Lanier High School and there
he played a remarkably good game.
He was chosen All-State High School
man while playing there. He made
the Freshman team and there as at
Lanier, he played an excellent game.
Davidson plays the brainy position on
the team and has a good level head, is
calm in the pinches and is an able
leader. The one outstanding feature
of his playing is his excellent broken
field running. It was in this art that
he gained his reputation as well as
because of his many other outstanding
merits.

All of Auburn Behind
Football Team Shown
In Church Pamphlet
By Dick Jones
Just to prove that all of Auburn
is behind the grid team again this
year I am ex-publishing a short poem,
which was seen in the Auburn Pres­byterian
Church bulletin last Sunday.
Rev. Samuel Burney Hay, who has
been keenly interested in Auburn as
a whole, considering sports and every­thing,
is pastor of the church.
Each year Rev. Hay holds a special
Sunday program in remembrance of
Noah Winston Caton, one of the great­est
athletes ever to play under the
Orange and Blue colors, and the ser­vices
are expected to take place again
this year.
The following was printed on a
page in the bulletin mentioned above:
"Football is in the air around Au­burn
these days. We all feel it. Here
is a poem that was clipped by one of
our members, appropriate for this sea­son."
PRAYER OF A SPORTSMAN
"Dear Lord, in the battle that goes
through life
I ask but a field that is fair,
A chance that is equal with all in the
strife
A courage to strive and dare;
And if I should win, let it be by the
code
With my faith and my honor held
high;
And if I should lose let me stand by
the road
And cheer as the winners go by!
And Lord, may my shouts be ungrud­ging
and clear
A tribute that comes from the heart,
And let me not cherish a snarl or a
sneer.
Or play any sniveling part;
Let me say: "There they ride on whom
laurel's bestowed
Since they played the game better
than I."
Let me stand with a smile by the side
of the road
And cheer as the winners go by!
(Continued on page 6)
GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE
= — — By OSWALD = = * = =
Clemson's big train opened up the Southern Conference throttle
Saturday in the curtain raiser. Newberry college was the unfortunate
victim—the score being 68 to 0. The Clemson team scored at will and
used thirty-two men. This makes good advance ballyhoo for Clemson—
and they may live up to the reputation predicted for them this year.
This column doubts it. V. M. I.'s flying squadron got off to a victorious
start, whitewashing Hampden-Sidney 19 to 0/ .
We scored 100 per cent on the above selections, as predicted last
week, although V. M. I. proved to be stronger than we expected.
Now for the promise made last week to select our predictions for
the entire season. We nominated Florida, last week, to carry off high
honors and our judgment was given "a boost by Chick Meehan, head
football coach of N. Y. University, in a feature this week. He says:
"The Florida 'Gators appear to be the real menace to the Southern
Conference race." Other enthusiastic comments were made by him.
Next in order we pick Georgia
Tech, Alabama, and Tulane. Ga
Ga. Tech has about the best backfield
combination in the south but hasn't
the reserve strength that Florida has.
Her line is weakened considerably.
Father Lumpkin's loss was a severe
blow. Alabama perhaps has the best
prospects since 1925 mainly on ac­count
of the recuperation of Suther
who will add materially to the of­fense.
Wade's problem is to find a
guard to take Hagler's place. He will
find one. You can lay to that. We
nominate Tulane next in preference
to Tennessee because of the fact that
Tulane has the great Billy Banker
back and he will be supplemented in
the scoring department by DeColigny,
at fullback. DeColigny was one of
the most brilliant freshman stars in
the south last year. The ends are
good and a heavy line is featured.
Tennessee should be runner up to
these teams because she has McEver
and Hackman who are aided by a
triple threat man named Heydrick.
Tennessee has a line averaging 185
and should be better than last year
but each team played will be pointing
for her.
On an equal basis we will next se­lect
Vanderbilt, Clemson, N. C. Uni­versity
and Georgia. Vanderbilt
heads this quartet because McGugin
always manages to put a formidable
contender on the field—an unusually
hard schedule will prove his nemesis.
Clemson will have a very sturdy team
and Josh Cody is determined to
"shoot the works" in an effort to
gain recognition. N. C. University
has practically all of last year's team
back and several promising sopho­mores.
Injuries a few days ago will
hurt them. Georgia will doubtless win
several games they shouldn't win and
lose some they should win. They
probably had the best freshman team
in the Conference last year. "Cat­fish"
Smith should star this year.
This summary concludes the strong­est
teams but many others will fur­nish
stiff opposition especially Ken­tucky
and L. S. U. Both teams are
beginning to look good and may sur­prise
conference followers. We se­lect
the remaining teams in the con­ference
to finish in orders, as fol- p u t u p s o m e g t i f f oppositJon the past

avenge that defeat by Birmingham-
Southern last year, but will so per­form
that they will give a clear indi­cation
that they are on a real upward
grade. Come on, Auburn! Don't dis­appoint
your old buddy."
"Oswald" Predicts
The high lights on this week's
menu will be the games between Au­burn-
Birmingham Southern; Vander-bilt-
Ole Miss; Georgia-Oglethorpe.
Auburn should win handily; Vander­bilt
will experience tough going and
Georgia should win over Oglethorpe
but will not unless the breaks are fa­vorable.

Under Gray Skies and
On Wet Field Tigers
Go Through Workouts
By Dick Jones
Under gray skies and on a wet field
Coach Geo. M. Bohler and his Auburn
Tigers are working out daily. A hard
rain Monday, forced them to practice
under a cover. But Tuesday, Wednes­day
and Thursday found them back
out on the grass matter turf, with
more enthusiasm and zest than ever
before. The initial clash with the Bir­mingham-
Southern Panthers, which
will take place in the Capitol City
Friday 'night, will be a big deciding
factor as to the driving power of the
1929 Bohlermen.

EARL SCHLICH
Schlich came to Auburn, the second
semester, of the school term of 1927
and 1928. He had formerly attended
King's College in North Carolina.
There he was inactive in football. As
soon as the season opened last year
he was one of the first to appear for
practice, working hard during the en­tire
season. He was not an outstand­ing
figure on the field, but he was a
steady, consistent player. He played
in several games last year, but did
not make his letter. Schlich plays the
position of guard and as this is one
of the hardest position on the team to
gain recognition, he must certainly
have worked hard to have been able
to play in the games last season.
Schlich is a Junior this year and he
has one more year in Auburn. It is
probable that he will play in many
games this year and in all probability
will make the team a good, consistent
player.

Varsity Displays
Excellent Form in
Saturday Practice
Holding the most vicious scrimmage
of the year on last Saturday evening,
the Auburn varsity showed more form
than they have ever displayed before.
It was a delight to the eyes of the
many spectators gathered along tfc
side lines at the way the Big Team
played the game. Their blocking re­minded,
one of the Tiger of other days,
and this blocking is something new
on the Auburn campus, but something
that has long been needed by the foot­ball
team. Tackling with a vicious-ness
that made Auburn teams of the
past greatly feared, the members of
the varsity never failed to get their
man. Each man performed at his
post as a veteran, and on each play
every player knew exactly what to do
and did it.
The Big Gang started the after­noon
by taking on the Blue Shirts as
their opponents, and in about an hour's -
time had six touchdowns to their cre­dit
against none for the Blues. One
of the prettiest plays pulled against
the Blues was a pass from Crawford
to Egge. The teams were lined up on
punt formation with Crawford back.
As the ball was snapped from center,
the swift forms of Egge and Creel,
the ends, could be seen slipping down
the field. Crawford running backward
with the ball, received excellent block­ing
from the backfield men and he
was able to flip a lengthy pass to Egge
who made a spectacular catch just be­fore
crossing the goal line.
After the Blues had had their share
of the struggle, Bull McFaden's Rats
were brought up from the lower field

late at night, and smoke cigarettes

Then in closing Dr. Knapp says: "I
think we have all these matters com­ing
in fine shape. My urge is that we
keep them coming until the games are
won."
Sewanee, Maryland, V. M. I., Vir­ginia,
V. P. I., W. & L., Miss. A. & M.,
and N. C. State will doubtless take
the cellar position.

No Swimming Team
For Auburn this Year
By Harry Barnes
Although there has been much talk
around the campus that swimming
would be added to Auburn minor
sports, the "human-fishes" are doomed
for disappointment, according to a
statement by Coach George M. Boh­ler.
"No money has been provided
for swimming this year, and we would
therefore be unable to have any inter­collegiate
competition," Bohler said,
"But by next year we hope to have
secured enough money to add this
sport to our list."
The pool located in the gymnasium
will be open to students within a few
days. Intramural meets will be held
throughout the winter season provid­ed,
the now broken, heating appara­tus
can be repaired in time.

"WHAT COLLEGE" IS FEATURED BY
DOROTHY DOW IN COLLEGE HUMOR
Miss Dorothy Dow, in "What Col­lege,"
a delightful story on the re­action
of college life on college grads,
appearing in the October issue of Col­lege
Humor, with great aptitude and
originality on what might well be
called "college complex." Those af­flicted
-with this dire malady, she has­tens
to say, are in the minority. They
are the men, she explains, that prob­ably
never did anything except go to
college.
"What College?" she asks, and ans­wers
it thusly:
Men, I have noticed, are not apt to
wonder about it. Men who take love
and beer and life in general casually
seem to take their college casually
too. Most men, that is; the success­ful
ones. Now and then you will find
a perpetual undergraduate who wears
his fraternity pin after thirty, and
talks about dear old D. K. E., and
rushes back to the house every year.
Usually such men are men who have
never done anything but go to college.
It is the big moment in their lives,
and they try to prolong it until death.
But the others—the men who organize
banking mergers, and cut out appen­dixes
better than anyone else in town,
and win lawsuits that are supposed­ly
impossible to win—those men are
vague about college. They do not talk
about it; they remember it as they re­member
their first love—as something
gay and pleasant and childish that
happened long ago. The man who
shares my house, for instance, has
diplomas from two colleges. One is
used to plug a hole in the garage I
floor, and heaven alone knows where
the other is. He has forgotten about
it, as most men do.
The women remember better, even
the busiest ones, and I think that is
because the busiest woman is, even in
these days, hardly as busy as the most
indolent man. The women are the
ones who, over the bridge table or
sitting next to you at the matinee,
ask languidly; "What was your
school?" Smith, Vassar or some place
in the Middle West? A convent or
co-education? What college?
They ask it as if it were really im­portant,
and I think it is to them.
For one thing, it is a social touch­stone.
The very fact that you can
say you went to Vassar is pretty good
proof that your father did not peddle
junk or bootleg for a living. The
record of three or four years at the
state university will give you and the
woman who has just moved into the
apartment next door some mutual in­terest
to talk about. She can start
so easily: "I see you're a Phi Phi.
My cousin is one, but when I went to
Minnesota there was not chapter
there. I'm a Tri Delt." Sororities
are as good for making conversation
as babies, and not half as much trou­ble.
If to the "What college?" you
can reply, "Mt. Holyoke, nineteen
hundred and twenty-two," your ques­tioner
will take it for granted you
are cultured, even if you say "ain't,"
or "What the hell?"
Even yet, I sometimes squirm when
people say to me, "What college?" and
I have to say, "None." Even yet, I
find jnyeelf apologetically Imrrying to
explain that my mother went to Mt.
Holyoke, and my sister went to Knox,
and my younger sister went to Rock-ford,
and I didn't go anywhere. Any­where
except some special work in
English at the University of Chicago,
that is. No, not out on the campus.
"Even yet, I am sorry that I did
not go to college for four years and
graduate. And that is -why, if I ever
have a daughter, I -will send her to
college -whether she wants to go or
not. Whether she needs it or not. I
will send her to college because if I
do not, I know that some day she
will -wish she had gone.
"I didn't feel at all this way about
it at seventeen. I was not particularly
interested in it. I had read too many
books, and I had spent too much time
with older people, and I thought my
sisters' friends were silly, and I
thought sororities were absurd. I was
quite sure that there was nothing col­lege
could give me that I could not
get in some otner way.
If I had to do it over again, I would
not feel like that. I am old enough
now to know that the things you get
from college may not be the things
you study in the classroom, but they
AMERICAN HOME
LAGGING BEHIND
INDUSTRY; SLOAN
According to Matthew S. Sloan, who
graduated from Auburn in 1901 and
has since risen to the position of one
of the most prominent men in the
electrical world, the American home
has fallen behind the American In­dustry
in the uses of electricity. Mr.
Sloan is president of the New York
Edison Company and president of the
National Light Association and made
this statement in an address at the an­nual
convention of the Empire State
Gas and Electric Association being
held at Upper Saranac, N. Y. He
urged that American homemakers be
freed from labor conditions below
those of their husbands working in
factories.
"The American home is lagging be­hind
industry," he said, "because w£
of the power and light industries^
have neither taken full advantage ofi
our opportunities as business men nor*
done our full duty as agencies of
public service. The American home
can be made as efficient electrically
as American industry by two lines of

he declared, "has not been

instead of muscle power for house

make the sales at lower average unit
price. As we establish that -lower
unit price we shall get the increased
business we desire not automatically,
but by working for it as the motor
car and shoe manufacturer and the
department store proprietor do.
The part played by utilities, par­ticularly
by the power and light in­dustry,
in what has come to be known
as the new industrial revolution is
well recognized. If it had not been
for the vision, the engineering abili­ty
and the commercial enterprise of
the power and light companies in
making available a certain abundant
supply of low priced electric power
our nation's present industrial supre­macy
never could have been attained.
Mass production and merchandising,
which yield low costs and volume sales
and at the same time put high wages
into the pockets of workers, would be
impossible without the power and light
in industry in its present high stage
of development. Moreover, continua­tion
of America's industrial progress
will be dependent on the continuation
of our own industrial development.
In closing his speech Mr. Sloan stat­ed
that, "Domestic rates have been
steadily lowered over a period of
years. The average of domestic use
has been increased. Yet it has not
been increased in anything like the
degree in which the use of electric ser­vice

Radio Club Has
Good Attendance
G. W. Fahrubel reported to a full
membership at the meeting of the
Radio Club Wednesday night, discuss­ing
the progress being made toward
moving the transmitting apparatus of
W4AQ from the old location on the
third floor of Broun to a room on the
fourth floor. Mr. Fahrubel stated
that with the assistance of several
club members last Saturday afternoon
he transported all generators and
transmitters to their new location,
but the work of making the necessary
electrical connections as yet remained
undone. The station is to be remote
controlled, with wiring arrangement
to switch from any one of the three
transmitters to the others from the
present operating room on the third
floor of Broun Hall. This arrange­ment
will necessitate the running of
twelve wires from the operating room
up through the attic to the transmit­ter
room. The club hopes to have the
station ready for operation very short­ly
now, as all members are showing
a willingness to work. There will be
several men working Saturday.
It was announced that the code
class, sponsored by the club will be
moved from Wednesday night at 7:00
o'clock to Monday night at 6:30
o'clock. This class was started only
last week, but already considerable
progress has been made. There are
six new prospective operators for sta­tion
W4AQ now on roll, but if any
others desire to learn the code they
may come to room 301 Broun Hall
next Monday at 6:30 P. M.

to display their football technique.
But the varsity was not to be denied,
and although receiving stiffer compe­tition
from the Freshmen, they made
several nice gains and played jam-up
ball when on the defense. The effec­tiveness
of Jim Hitchcock, for the
Rats, at receiving passes was good to
see, and he handles himself well and
is going to be hard to stop by Rat
teams from other schools. Sleepy
Brown also played a nice game es­pecially
on defense and is a line plun­ger
de luxe. Bassett and Shackleford
were the other backfield men for the
Frosh, and they showed real ability
rounding out one of the best backfields
seen on the Freshman squad in many
years.
The thrilling runs of Hatfield,
Young, Crawford, Jones, and others
were made possible by the excellent
blocking of the whole team and this
blocking alone gave many spectators
new joy and hope concerning the
teams' chanmes in the football realm.
At dark the best exhibition given
by the Auburn Tigers in many a moon
was called to a halt. This exhibition
showed the many spectators that Au­burn
is determined to beat Southern
and is going to Montgomery with ven­geance
in their hearts.

Young, but it surely doesn't possibly
mean he's young at this rough and
tumble game of football, from the way
he shifts those "wicked hips" and
busts through the toughest of lines.
Hatfield and Chattie Davidson, the
two Capitol City lads have been the
other outstanding Sophomore backs
and will no doubt have a chance to
perform before their homefolks this
coming Friday night. Davidson is an
ex-Lanier High star while Hatfield
hails from Cloverdale. Both these
gridders were stars in their respective
High schools and are making a strong
bid for the Tiger eleven.
Other Montgomery boys fightin • for
positions on the Orange and Blue grid
team this year are: Joe Andrews, D.
Mosley, Louis McRee, F. Ofighton,
George Egge, and Winston SI eehan.
The latter having to drop out this
week on account of Doct6i> orders.
Sheehan and Mosley were the o-'y
ones above the Sophomore class. The
rest all Sophomores. All of these
Montgomery boys are making a for­midable
showing on the Tiger machine
and almost all the Sophomores on the
Varsity will be picked from these hus­tlers.
Coach Bohler will more than likely
select his ends from George Egge, Joe
Andrews, and Louis McRee. The first
and last man of these three flankmen
just mentioned were team mates in
High School for four years and are
able to work together as smoothly as
any two Sophomores in the Southern
Conference. When the initial whistle
blows signaling the Panthers and
Tigers to wade into each other, they
are likely to be sitting on left end and
right end respectively.
When interviewed about the team
and the prospects recently, Dr. Knapp,
President of Auburn, said: "The team
looks much better to me than last
year. The Coaches are all together
and working hard; there is more 'get
up and go' among the boys than last
year. The spirit is fine and I believe
we are going to win."

AUBURN, ALA.
Ancient Indian villages, buried for
centuries, failed this summer to re­veal
the missing link giving physical
proqf of the theory of Dr. Ales Hrd-licka,
Smithsonian institution scient­ist
that the American Indian emigrat­ed
from Asia by way of Alaska.
After a summer of research work
in Alaska, Dr. Hrdlicka said here to­day
he was convinced that the -In­dian
was an Asiatic who emigrated
thousands of years ago but that link­ing
up the past with the present was
difficult.
Some time by accident some one will
uncover the key to the problem. The
Indians came originally from Asia in
water-craft. A study of the country
demonstrates this. These small tribes
migrated down the coast, using water
routes, and settled first along the
Pacific coast, and worked inland from
there. The linking of the past with
the present is an arduous work.'
Prof. Camp States
Textile School Plans
Worry is interest paid on trouble
before it is due.
Professor Camp, head of Textile En­gineering,
states that very shortly
bids will be let for the new Textile
Building.
The new building will be 300 feet
with two stories and a basement. The
equipment will be of the most modern
type. It is hoped that the building
will be completed by the second semes­ter.
During the last semester the
equipment will be installed. Besides
cotton, there will be both silk and
rayon plants. There will be both dob-by
and jarquard looms for weaving
designs for patterns. Students will
have the advantage to take up dying
and finishing of various fabrics as
cotton, wool, silk, and rayon. There
will be revolving printing machines
to print textile fabrics in different
colors.
Some of the looms will be made up
in college colors and have tiger heads
on them. It is planned to manufac­ture
such articles as towels, hand-kershiefs,
and half hose with original
designs on them. The towels will
probably be trimmed in orange and
blue with the word "Auburn" down
the center. The half hose will probab­ly
have a tiger head near the top.
Such articles as these would be both
interesting and popular.
At present, 46 students are regis­tered
in Textile Engineering. From
this number 31 are Freshmen, 11 are
Sophomores and 4 are juniors. Pro­fessor
Camp expects a 100 per cent
increase in students next year.
