Students to Aid in Paralysis Drive
Cabinet Begins Donations
With $25.00 Contribution
Carrying on the tradition that Auburn students shall nev­er
be left out of anything, the student body began yesterday
to take an active part in the plans being made concerning the
celebration of the President's birthday.
Students will have their opportunity to contribute to the
March of Dimes next Wednesday when tables will be set up
over the campus to take the do­nations.
The Omega chapter of Omicron
Delta Kappa has taken the re­sponsibility
of sponsoring the
drive for the March of Dimes on
the campus at the request of the
Auburn Lions Club which is in
charge of the Drive in the town.
ODK will have the assistance of
Blue Key, the Women's Student
Government Association, the
Executive Cabinet and other so­cieties
on the campus.
No telegram will be sent this
year, but a letter will be deliv­ered
to the President with the
signed names of each student who
participates or contributes to the
drive.
Classes will not be canvassetl,
but tables will be set up at the
main gate, in the New Building,
in Samford Hall, Ross Chemical
Laboratory, and on Ag Hill and
Vet Hill. All contributors will
have opportunity to sign • their
names to the letter as they con­tribute
if they so desire. It may
be left off at the student's wish.
Fraternities are asked to give
$10.00 and each campus society
$5.00 for the drive. These contri­butions
will entitle each organiza­tion
to put all the names belong­ing
to the group on the letter.
Checks should be made payable
to the Auburn Lions Club.
The student executive cabinet
voted last night to contribute
$25.00 to the drive to begin the
organization's contributions.
Plans are being made at the
present to have a Birthday Ball
at Alumni Gym Saturday night,
January 30. Fifty per cent of the
funds taken in the drive will go
to The Lee County Crippled
Children's Clinic and the other
half will go to the Warm Spring's
Foundation.
A benefit bridge, with each par­ty
furnishing its own table and
cards, is to be held at the Thomas
Hotel Friday afternoon at 2:30.
Reservations may be made by
calling Mrs. G. W. Hargreaves at
any hour.

Two Seniors and Three Juniors
Tapped by Eta Kappa Nu
New Officers For
Year Are Announced
Eta Kappa Nu, national honor
society of electrical engineering,
this week tapped two seniors and
three juniors for membership.
This society has for its purpose
the bringing into closer union for
mutual benefit those men in the
profession of electrical engineer­ing,
who, by their attainments in
college or practice, have mani­fested
a deep interest and marked
ability in their chosen work.
The organization was founded
at the University of Illinois in
1904. The chapter on the Auburn
campus was established in 1920,
and is represented on the Engi­neers'
Council.
The tappees include the fol­lowing
seniors:
W. H. Weaver, a co-op student
from Birmingham, who is a mem­ber
of Delta Sigma Phi social fra­ternity,
Scabbard and Blade, and
Briaerean.
J. W. Coleman, of Tuscaloosa,
who is a co-op student holding
membership in Briaerean.
Juniors tapped are as follows:
James M. Clayton, who is a co­op
student from Columbus, Geor­gia.
James M. McComsey. who is
from Birmingham.
Robert E. Ledyard, of Mont­gomery,
a member of Lambda
Chi Alpha social fraternity.
New Officers
New officers of Eta Kappa Nu
are Tom L. Dyer, of Selma, presi­dent;
Robert E. Colvin, of Havana,
Cuba, secretary; William Bailey,
Birmingham, treasurer; Frank C.
Brooks, Huntsville, corresponding
secretary; and W. W. Stone, Line-ville,
representative to Engineers'
Council.

Phi Kappa Phi
To Hear Paty
Monday Night
University President
Makes Second Visit
To Campus Since 1938
Dr. Raymond Paty, president
of the University of Alabama, will
address the Faculty Forum next
Monday night. The meeting is in
honor of Phi Kappa Phi society
which is to hold its midwinter ini­tiation
that evening.
This is not Dr. Paty's first ap­pearance
on this campus. Many
people remember with pleasure
his talk to the Forum at one of
the luncheon meetings in 1938,
when he was president of Birm­ingham-
Southern. He has always
been most cordial and cooperative
in his attitude toward this school
and his appearance here augurs
well for future relationships.
Dr. Paty was born in Bell
Buckle, Tenn., and attended grade
and high school there. He attend­ed
the University of Tennessee
and Emory University and took
graduate work at Columbia Uni­versity
and at the University of
Chicago.
Dr. Paty is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kap­pa,
and the Kiwanis Club.
The initiates of Phi Kappa Phi
are to be guests of the society at
the supper and address that is to
follow. The supper will be pre­ceded
by the formal initiation at
Social center and all candidates
are requested to be there at 6:15
p. m.
"A" Club Meets
There will be a meeting of the
"A" Club next Thursday night at
7:15 in the club room of the field
house.
API HasTwenty
Students Taking
Part Time Work
Twenty students who graduat­ed
from high school early in Jan­uary,
too late to enter college dur­ing
the present quarter, are now
enrolled as special college stu­dents
at API. These students, all
men who come from all parts of
the state, are taking a concen­trated
course of 12 credit hours
that will put them a jump ahead
of the freshmen who will enroll
in March. They are taking 5 quar­ter
hours of English Composition,
101, and American History, 107.
In addition to that, they take 2
quarter hours of Readings in
American Tradition, 353. They
meet their English and History
classes one and one-half hours
each day and take Physical Train­ing
every day for one hour.
Although they will have been
here only two months out of three
for this quarter, they will have
twelve quarter hours to their
credit when they enroll as reg­ular
students next quarter.

Four Students
Tapped by Tau
Kappa Alpha
Tau Kappa Alpha, national
forensics fraternity, had its annual
initiation of hew members last
Tuesday Nnght. Four outstanding
students were issued into the fra­ternity
at this time. Two Pre-LaW
students were also tapped, but
did not go through the initiation
as they would not be in school
next quarter.
The Tau Kappa Alpha fraterni­ty
was established, nationally, at
Auburn, in 1935, by Mr. Tigert,
of the University of Florida. Its
purpose is to encourage public
speaking and debating, intercol-legiately
and intramurally. Un­til
1935, Auburn had two public
speaking societies—one local and
one national. In 1935 these two
chapters merged a n d formed
what is now Tau Kappa Alpha.
The new members are as fol­lows:
-
James Thomas Grace, Tallas-see,
is a sophomore in pre-medi-cine.
John Allen Earnest, Auburn, is
a member of Theta Chi social
fraternity and is a senior in pre­law.
Thomas Howard Johnson, E.
Tallassee, is a sophomore in agri­cultural
administration.
Cornelious A. Shepherd, Birm­ingham,
is a sophomore in civil
engineering.
Twenty-six Students,
One Professor Tapped
Men Are Selected on Basis of Leadership
And Scholastic Ability; Character Counts
Twelve men were tapped by Blue Key and fourteen men
were selected by Omicron Delta Kappa for membership in
the two national senior~honor societies this week.
Blue Key selects their men on their ability of leadership
and scholarship and what they have done to foster Auburn's
relation with other colleges and within the school itself.
Omicron Delta Kappa's purpose is to recognize those
men of the junior class who have attained a high standard
of efficiency in collegiate activities and for their character,
leadership and scholastic achievements.
The only faculty member tapped by either society was
Colonel O. I. Gates, Asst. P.M.S. & T., honored by Blue Key.

Kappa Sigma Initiates
Eighteen Into Lodge
The Beta Eta chapter of Kappa
Sigma initiated 18 new men in
their regular initiation January
10. The initiation was presided
over by Guy Blackwell, president.
Those boys taken into the
chapter are:
Bill Brower, Memphis, Tenn;
H o w a r d Barker, Hattiesburg,
Miss; Guy Baldwin, Montgomery;
John Cater, W. Palm Beach, Fla.;
Gene Clouse, Ozark; Oscar Frasi-er,
Selma; Warren Woolsey, De­catur,

Walter Hall, Huntsville;
Byrd Lee, Auburn; Charles Mathi-son,

Moultrie, Ga.; Billy Randolph,
Ellisville, Miss.; Bob S c o r e,
Huntsville; Sonny Timberlake,
Decatur; Ed Thompson, Memphis,
Tenn.; Emerson Valentine, Ozark;
Tom Wheeler, Sylacauga.
When the Presidents of Au­burn
and the University of Ala­bama
can get together, then
progress is really being made.
We cannot think of anything
better that could happen to
both schools at the same time
than either Dr. L. N. Duncan
or Dr. Raymond Paty going to
the other's school and speaking
before such a group as the fac­ulty
forum or some honor
group on the campus.
This is a true step in the right
direction. Many fraternities
carry on well-balanced social
programs with their brother
chapters at 'Bama and the same
system would work on a larger
scale.
Dr. Paty and Dr. Duncan are
proving to us that such a thing
can and is possible. They are
destroying that old theory that
the old heads are the ones hold­ing
back. Now it is up to the
students to determine what re­lations
we will have.
It is up to us. What we de­cide
then we can do. We say
more and better sports between
the two schools and better stu­dent
opinions and dealings with
the other body.
Dr. Paty has proved that this
can be done, now it is up to us
to show them that we will.

Undergraduates Face Post-War Disadvantage
With the statesmen of the world freely
giving out their ideas and speculations on
the.status of things to be after the war, it
is only fitting and proper that the genera­tion
that is to do the fighting in the con­flict
have something to say about it. It has
been stated time and again that this is a
"young man's war," and for this reason
the younger element of our country
should have something to do with its fu­ture.
There are very few men who will be
taken from college today to enter the vari­ous
branches of the service who will be
able to return to school for further train­ing
after the war. Because of this fact,
those who graduated last year, and the
years preceding, will have a decided ad­vantage,
having already completed their
college education without interruption.
The boys back from the war, while having
gained a wealth of practical information,
and, no doubt, some measure of technical
training as well, will be .overshadowed by
the diplomas of those who had the good
fortune to begin school a year or so earlier
than they. Therefore the boys who left
their classrooms to fight will be at a def­inite
disadvantage.
Before the war, boys who had one or
two years of college were deemed unfit for
anything much until after they had gained
some experience in their particular field.
It must be realized that when the Amer­ican
civilian army is disbanded after the
war there will be literally millions of
young men in this category. Some niche
must be found in which these men may be
fitted with the least loss of resources at
hand. This is. another of the myriad prob­lems
which face the leaders of the coun­try
who are to build the peace of the fu­ture
at the end of the conflict, and a very
vital one indeed in the lives of the youth
who, after coming home from the wars,
will, in time, be the heads of our govern­ment
and the determining factors in the
future of our country. A.L.
Quadrangle Coffee Rationing Termed Unfair
making. They don't stop at grousing, they
still, by some way, seem to be able to get
as much as they want.
This is true not only of students but of
the "insiders" as well. In the Quadrangle
dining hall the supply of coffee has been
cut 40 per cent of what it was in September
1942. Still, the Heads of Hall can get two
cups at three meals, while the girls can
only get one cup a day and sometimes
more.
The very reason this war is being fought
now is to eliminate favortism among the
ranks. How can we possibly hope to win
when we can't practice what we preach?
The students will have to take the lead in
matters of this kind for the "insiders" have
proved they don't wish to. We could set an
example everyone would follow — It's
a part of the Auburn spirit to be first in
everything. O.N.
We, the students of API, have been led
to believe that we are attending college to
become leaders. We naturally associate a
college education with the learning of spe­cialized
knowledge.
However, there is another aspect to be
considered. If we are to be leaders in our
respective communities we shall have to
lead in more than just knowledge. To
guide, we will need a faith in our democ­racy
and the ability to interpret its mean­ing
to the best advantage.
Hence, this faith should start no later
than the present. In this war-torn world
of chaos and destruction, we have a won­derful
opportunity to try to make demo­cracy
win.
Take, for instance, coffee. It is a well-known
fact that the present supply is lim­ited.
However there are still a few people
who grouse about the sacrifices they are
Open Forums Particularly Needed at Present
Before the war started Esquire contained
an article which said that Americans do
things in a big way. It said that "if we got
mixed up in another war we would fight
like hell to make it the biggest damn war
that ever was. And, if we were defeated,
we would make it the worst damn defeat
possible."
The latest budget and production fig­ures
make us think that writer was cor­rect.
The Auburn student's determination
to make a big noise about this war is shown
in the new attitude he has toward college.
With armed service so close, some of us
feel that what we.haven't already learned,
we haven't time to learn.
Last Saturday one student lost several
articles, including his trousers, in his ef­fort
to make use of the remaining days of
college grace. Other students, with the ad­ministration's
approval, are taking special
technical courses which will be useful to
them when they are called.
College students in England probably
reacted to the war just as we did. And
since England has been in this war much
more and much longer than we have, it
might be well to see how England is deal­ing
with people of college age.
When France collapsed the British rea­lized
the necessity of making an all out
effort to defeat the Axis. They admitted
that as one fights fire with fire, they must
use' some of the uncivilized tactics of the
Nazis in order to win. But they recognized
a danger in doing so that we in America
have had a tendency to overlook.
There is a danger in developing the at­titude
of killers. One danger is that it might
not subside quickly enough after the fight
is over to permit the making of a durable
peace. Recognizing this danger, the Brit­ish
government sponsors forums and dis­cussions
at which attendance is compul­sory,
both for civilians and soldiers. In
these meetings reasons for fighting, post­war
plans, et cetera are discussed. It is
quite possible that these discussions will
produce better soldiers as well as better
citizens.
Now, there are capable professors on
this campus who have expressed their will­ingness
to lead students, marines, sailors,
and townspeople in similar discussions. So
who knows? Maybe an announcement of
the first such discussions will be made
pretty soon. F.M.

The Editor's Desk . . .
The results of the election last issue were surprising to some and
a cause for celebration to others. Those who worked hard and were
defeated were probably the most discouraged of all, and with just
reasons. The' ones who won, regardless of time spent on winning,
could feel a pride in knowing that they had accomplished something
few others could do on the campus.
As this is being written none of the honor societies have begun to
tap their new men to carry on after this quarter. But, it will not be
long-until names will begin to appear on the main gate and published
in this paper and full announcements being made as to who are to
be the supposed "big shots" on the campus next quarter.
We have very little to say about who is to be tapped in the organi­zations,
but we would like to say something that has shown the true
merits of some of the seniors this year. •—
Before we say this we realize that it will probably make some of
the BMOCs dislike us all the more, but if we did not realize this we
would not have anything to write about.
Honor societies are honor societies. The thing that makes member­ship
in them an honor is the fact that all the students cannot make
them. Ten, fifteen, or twenty of the top ranking students in this field
or that class are chosen. On any campus this is one of the main reasons
why these memberships are cherished above other things.
Now, the point is this: some students, although in one or two so­cieties
on the campus, are not man enough to admit that they were
not good enough to make this organization or that society, and try
their best to make life uncomfortable for the other fellow. The net
result is that they do no harm to the other societies but ruin their own
personal reputation and hurt their organization at the same time.
For the next three months we hope the new incoming tapees will
look at things in the true light and treat the other fellow with a little
'respect.
There must of necessity be more than one or two honor groups on
the campus. If they were not then some of these that seem to be dis­satisfied
all the time would not make anything on the campus.
Honor groups can work together. This has been proven in the past
and if the right boys with the right attitudes go into the societies this
time, they will once more begin to work together for the good of
Auburn.
After all, this should be the main purpose of any organization sim­ilar
to these on any campus. If they cannot help the school then they
should disband, and the school should be just as quick to recognize
this fault as some of the students.
Before we close we should say that is going to cause a few of the
"Auburn Students" to get angry and misunderstand all of what has
been said. If this does not apply to you, there is no need of getting on
your "high horse." And if there are any comments you would like to
make, for publication, please sign your names to any and all com­munications.
Coed Personalities
By SHIRLEY SMITH
Kay Hall
Kay Hall was trapped. She backed into the farthest corner of her
room, but the Menace stalked closer in a double-quick stalk. Grit­ting
her teeth and summoning her courage, our heroine said, "All
right, I'll talk—only don't tell the mob." So remember, this is strictly
confidential.
, * * *
Kay's is a real success story. Beginning her political career as a
historian, she has advanced in rank to vice-president of the class of
'44. The distinction is even greater because she is the first woman
vice-president ever to hit this college.
Although she is a politician, Kay impresses you with her sincerity,
for not only does she know everybody under the sun, but knows
enough about them to strike up a conversation about their sick mother
or hard course or newly acquired or missing fraternity pin.
Margaret Ellen Davis
Margaret Ellen's room looked and sounded like Grand Central Sta­tion.
She was playing bridge with three friends and three more were
hiding behind the door ready to pounce on the first "fourth" who
came in. I was it.
* .» *
So, while trumping my partner's ace and playing my usual good
game, I shouted over one shoulder to Margaret Ellen. The general
conversation was something like this.
"Margaret Ellen, where did you say you were from?"
"No trump."
"What kind of grades do you make?"
"I'm going set."
"What do you like to eat?"
"Hearts."
"Oh . Any particular variety?"
"Double."
* * *
These facts I did get, by way of the roommate and friends. Mar­garet
Ellen's home is in Scottsboro, and she is a freshman in home
economics. Leadouts are her speciality. It's no wonder though, because
she is liked by girls and boys alike. Cute and full of pep, without be­ing
sophisticated—with these qualities who wouldn't be popular?
Column Left
Editor's note: The opinions expressed
In this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies of this paper.
Of all the unpleasant duties of
man, getting out of bed on a cold
morning can rank among the
leaders for all generations. Great-grandpa
had to dress in the cold.
Grandpa had to build a fire- in
the fireplace. Pa had- to light a
fire in the grate. And now we
have to light the gas.
* * *
But it's still no fun. We lie in
bed as long as we can, hoping
that some obliging soul will come
in and light the heater; but that
never gets us anywhere.
* - * *
Finally we jump out of bed,
dash to the heater, and start
looking for a match. For some
reason as yet unknown, we never
realize the night before while
everything is warm that we'll
need a match the next morning.
* * *
When a match is finally un­earthed,
we strike same and turn
on the gas. Nothing happens.
Then we realize that the flame is
not quite in the gas stream. We
correct the error and then proceed
to the mirror to find the extent
of the singeing.
* * *
Incidentally, another of these
disagreeable duties is unlocking
a door on a cold night. By the
time we remove our glove, take
out our key case, fumble with
the zipper, try several wrong
keys, drop the whole business
once, and finally open the door;
we have frozen ourselves so solid
that we have to spend the next
h o u r thawing out. Somebody
ought to invent a door that will
recognize its owners and open it­self
automatically.
* * *
By involved calculations and
observations, we have finally de­termined
that the "G" over the
main gate will descend to head-bumping
level in, thirty-nine days
and six hours from date.
* * *
And that reminds us of a con­versation
which reputedly took
place somewhere in the Pacific
By BRUCE MARTIN
islands between an army officer
and a native chieftain.
Officer: Good afternoon!
Chieftain: Og bliggi waggo glug
Augo bligta, Garti blug?
Officer: It's the beautiful truth!
* * *
The literary, not literal, trans­lation
of the chief's remarks fol­lows:
Is it true that the score was
Auburn twenty-seven, Georgia
thirteen?
* • *
Typical campus remarks can
easily show the state of things.
Part of these come from observa­tion
and part from speculation.
We present a collection of, "Look
there's":
May, 1941: "Look, there's a
soldier!"
October, 1942: "Look, there are
some more soldiers."
April, 1943: "Look, there's a
boy!"
July, 1943: "Look, there's a
civilian!"
July, 1944: "Look, there's a
soldier!"
* * *
We hate to step on anyone who
has just been jumped on with
both feet by others, but we have
an additional comment. We won­der
why societies fail to realize
that it is not the female portion
of the student body which they
are initiating. There seems to us
that there is little advantage in
waking the girls at six-thirty
every morning. There also seems
to be no point in waking them
again at twelve that night.
* * *
And now the politicians drop
their politeness for another year.
We didn't feel much of the atmos­phere
this year, though. We
couldn't vote for anybody. But
one poor freshman did accuse us
of having influence.
* * *
Phil, the Patriotic Poet, is at
it again:
Perhaps we really owe thanks
To the modern edition of Mars.
After all, he gave us
The WAACs, WAVEs, WAFS,
and SPARS.

HALT
Q u a d r a t i cs
By ALLEN ODOM
Editor's note: The opinions expressed
in this column are those of the writer
and are not to be construed as the edi­torial
policies of this paper.
Since the favorite American
pastime, as far as Hades is* con­cerned,
is murder mysteries, she
thinks that her method of detec­tion
of the criminal at least three
chapters ahead of anybody else
might be of interest.
* * *
It is done by a simple process'
of elimination. In the first chap­ter
you decide just who is the
hero, and who he is going to fall
in love with . . . it isn't either of
them. However, you must be very
careful to get the right hero.
Modern mystery story writers
will use all sorts of devices and
tricks to convince you that the
hero is a heel, and the heel is
the hero.
* * *
If it comes to a decision be­tween
two men read carefully to
see what color his eyes are. If
he has blue eyes, the chances are
he's the killer, because at the
end the writer always says some­thing
about "cold blue eyes glit­tered."
On the other hand if one
of the central figures has black
eyes, he may be guilty, because
' anybody knows that black eyes
are peculiarly susceptible to glit­tering.
* * *
BUT, if the young man in ques­tion
has brown eyes he is unde­niably
innocent. For what else
can you say about brown eyes
except that they're warm, soft,
trusting and innocent?
* * *
Let's say that you've eliminated
the hero and heroine. The next
step is their respective families.
You may feel absolutely safe
about them, unless the author is
a chicken, and reveals in the last
chapter that one member of the
family is a foundling.
* * *•
When you encounter an author
like this anything can happen.
The foundling, who has shifty,
watery blue eyes, a furtive man­ner,
and a Chinese sleeve gun in
his possession may turn out to be
the sweetest lamb in the world
and will marry the girl. But, ac­cording
to Hades system, you
solve the crime anyhow, by de­fault
or foul blows or something,
because that's not fair.
* * *
. Of course, there is the family
doctor to be considered. Never
underestimate the killing ability
of the family doctor. If he's un­married,
he's probably been in
love with the hero's aunt, or
grandmother, or mother . . . you
figure that out on the basis of
ages . . .
* * *
If the doctor is married, dis­cover
if the victim could conceiv­ably
have been in love with the
doctor's wife.
* * *
However, if you eliminate the
doctor, the best friend of either
of the principals comes into the
harsh light of suspicion. Never al­low
the fact that these individuals
are singularly nice people throw
you off guard. An author who
would let them be the murderer
is perfectly capable of letting
them be the kind of man or wom­an
you've always dreamed about.
In fact, the nicer they are, the
more of a suspect they become.
* * *
For, if the hero's best friend is
such a paragon of manhood, then
why isn't the heroine in love with
him? The answer is obvious. Be­cause
he's a murderer!
* * *
There are a few writers of mur­der
stories who are low enough
to let the old woman who sold
the hero a bunch of violets for
the heroine be the murderess. In
that case, you win by the same
margin as above, and also you are
given a bonus for having to wade
through the last chapter which
laboriously explains that said
flower woman was done wrong by
some respectable and well-mean­ing
member of the family . . . us­ually
the victim.
* # *
Identifying the victim is the
easiest thing in the world. He is
always the one who, when you
remove his body you always dis­cover
an X under him.
* * *
By Hades method of crime de­tection
you can't lose. Either you
solve the crime by the method of
elipiination or you win by default
because the writer didn't play
fair. It's a nice system . . . for
Hades.

Capt. Jolly has participated in
numerous air raids over Jap held

Jolly was in command of four
Flying Fortresses which attacked
at the altitude of 500 feet and in
a few seconds accomplished their

The cagers of Auburn will play host to two of the
strongest teams in the Southeastern Conference Friday night,
Jan. 22, and 23, in Alumni Gym when they go on the court
against Ga. Tech the first night and Vanderbilt the second
night. Tech will be coming from
Tech taking Alabama on in the
second half of the show, but un-forseen
difficulties arose which
caused the game to be switched to
the loveliest village of the plain.
Both'games will be preceded by
preliminary games in the intra­mural
league featuring fraternity
teams. The major bouts will start
on or around 8 o'clock.
The game between Auburn and
Tech should provide plenty of
fast action as both teams are
keyed up for this game. Auburn
will be in the best shape the
team has been in all season.
Coach Evans has stressed passing
and shooting the major part of
the week. The team as a whole
has been weak in this department
of the game. The team work of
the squad was unusually good on
several occassions this week.
The all-around floor work and
shooting attack of Frank Wil­liams,
center, has been very com­mendable
for the whole season.
Wadsworth, and Canzoneri, two
of the most experienced men on
the team, have been turning out
some good performances at their
guard positions. The team as a
whole has plenty of spirit, but
has failed to click as one man
when called on in the heat of a
game.
Coach Evans states that when
the squad really starts to winning
it will be the work of the boys as
one team and not of one man.
He thinks the boys will play
some good ball from here on out.
There are two possible teams
that may start in the game this
week end. One of them would
find Frank Williams changed from
center to forward, McKinney at
the other forward post, Fagan

The sixth series of the interfra-ternity
and independent basket­ball
games began and ended rath-erly
slowly this week, but all of
the games were cleanly fought.
Scoring was scarce on all sides,
but enough points were racked
up to set a few of the teams back
down the line for the time being.
After a good win over the Kap­pa
Alphas last Friday the Alpha
Tau Omega boys came back this
week to meet their first defeat at
the hands of the stronger Phi
Delta Theta five. Seawell, Phi
forward, was the top scorer and
outstanding player for the entire
game. He made nine points, al­most
more than the entire ATO
team. .
The Sigma Phi Epsilon team, af­ter
losing in a close game last
week came back and took the
Delta Sigma Phi quintet down a
notch. Final score: SPE, 19, Del­ta
Sig, 8.
In one of the few games with
plenty of shooting and scoring
the Lambda Chi Alpha boys hand­ed
Pi Kappa Phis their second
loss of the season. High scorer of
the game was Kirkland, who man­aged
to score 8 points.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilons met
their match in the Omega Tau
Sigma five last night as the vet
students rolled up a total of 18
points as the SAEs were making
only 13.
In the first independent game
of the season the Hardies forfeit­ed
the game to the Cowboys. The
first game actually played was
between Garden Courts and Bat­tery
C2 from the drill field. This
game was the roughest one of
the night with fouls and free
shots being made rapidly.
