CHEST DRIVE IS TODAY
IT'S A PLEASURE TO DROWN HERE
API Has One of Few College
Girl Life Guards in Country
Wanda DeRamus Is
Senior Serving
As Life Guard
Wanda DeRamus, nautical
minded senior, is the only coed
student serving as a life guard
and assistant instructor here. Miss
DeRamus, who became a junior
life guard when she was barely
fourteen, is on duty at the college
pool three nights every week.
She often acts as a student instructor.
Wanda received her first experience
as a life guard at the
Woodward Pool, West End, Birmingham,
two summers ago when
she became the first woman life
guard in the city. She still works
there during the summer. She is
also experienced in first aid work
and is a senior Red Cross life
saver. She has been in charge of
pools in numerous summer camps
and she says she really enjoys
it.
Being of a watery frame of
mind, she collects miniature ships
and anything nautical. She is also
interested in recreational work,
having been official assistant
leader in Girl Scout Troops. In
Skit Winners
Are Announced
By Judges
Two successful skit nights were
presented by the Senior Class last
week, with the winning fraternities
and sororities being announced
today by Mariotte Luf-kin,
president of the class.
Among the participating fraternities,
the Alpha Gamma Rhos
won first place and a silver cup
for their skit entitled "One-Eyed
Sam", while runner up honors
went to Pi Kappa Alpha with
"One Got Through."
The Kappa Deltas won the cup
for sorority participants with
their presentation "A Beauty
Ball." Second place went to Alpha
Gamma Delta for the skit,
"Give Me an Aspirin."
The finance committee of the
Senior Class stated that the two
night runs netted over three
hundred dollars for the class
fund. This money will be used to
purchase war bonds. At maturity,
in 1953, the proceeds from the
bonds will help defray the cost of
a class reunion of the members
of this year's graduating class.
1936 she won three medals in
Cascade Plunge meets in Birmingham
and she has a medal for
softball that she is proud of,,too.
She received her high school
education in Birmingham and
spent the first two years of her
college life there at Birmingham-
Southern. She came to this campus
last year and has been a part
of the intramural department
ever since.
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. L. DeRamus of Ensley.
Engineers Held
First Meeting
Yesterday at 5
Auburn's School of Engineering
held its first convocation yesterday
afternoon when the majority
of the 1600 engineering students
met in the stadium. Jack Tank-ersley,
president of the Engineers
Council, presided over the meeting.
Tankersley thanked the engineers
for their support on the
Carnival held several weeks ago,
and that the money obtained at
the shows was enough to buy a
$1,000 war bond and contribute
$25 to the War Chest Drive which
is being held today.
He introduced Dean John
Wilmore who presented the two
medals to the. two outstanding
freshmen; one going to the fresh-
-fhan of 1940-41, James L. West,
who led -his class of 459 freshmen
with the highest average
and the second medal going to
James T. Roberts, who had the
highest average of his class of
629 freshmen last year.
After the presentation of the
medals, Dean J. E. Hannum spoke
to the students on Auburn's part
in training men for the many industries
which are vital to the
war.
Dr. L. N. Duncan concluded the
program with his words of thanks
to the engineering students which
"contribute so much to the campus
and in so many different
ways."
Students Give In
Classes and Tonight
Drive Has Netted over $700 During the First
Two Hours This Morning; Continues To Grow
Auburn students showed every sign of living up to the
record set last year in the Red Cross Drive when $705.58 had
been donated at 10:30 this morning. This figure was released
by Mildred Brown Davis and Jimmy Butt who are in charge
of the Drive on the campus.
To be added to this figure will be the donations of the various
organizations, the sororities and fraternities, and the
money that will be taken in by the Choral Club presentation
tonight "Song of America." All of
Closing Football Games Have
SPE and OTS Winning
By BILLY HILL
One more league was one step
closer to the decision of a winner
Friday as the SPEs nosed out
the Kappa Sigs by the margin of
one touchdown 6-0. At the same
time the men of the OTS lodge
were barely beating the ALTs by
the same margin.
SPE 6—Kappa Sigs 0
In gaining their third victory
of the season and sustaining no
losses the SPEs took over the
lead in League III as they beat
the Kappa Sigs 6-0. It was one
of those rare touch football games
as every minute was full of excitement
and tension for the result
of the game was to more
than likely mean that particular
team would reach the playoff.
The SPEs made their lone score
in the third period on two passes.
After a nip-and-tuck first half the
SPEs got off to a fast start and
ran the ball to the midfield stripe.
From there, Jack Curlee tossed
a long pass to Tommy Outlaw
who carried it to the five. On the
next play, Curlee tossed the ball
to Harris Bodden in the end zone.
The standouts for the Kappa
Sigs were Sam Green, kicking
and passing, DeWitt Shy, running,
and Tommy Ronnell, receiving
the passes. The SPEs
played a well balanced team and
perhaps one of the standouts was
the work of Harris Bodden on the
defensive end position.
OTS 6—ALT 0
The OTS lodge took a very
close and well played game from
the ALTs Friday by the margin
of a single score 6-0.
The OTS score came on one of
the oldest plays in football—the
old sleeper pass. After they had
worked the ball to the midstripe,
Bush laid out on the side-lines
and Lancaster tossed the ball
complete on the 15 and Bush ran
it over unmolested for the score.
The try for the point was blocked.
For the victors, Graham, center,
Whitney, guard, and Dorsey,
blocking back looking mighty
good. The ALTs featured the play
of Stanford, backfield, Holmes,
half, Little and Dowdy at ends.
GIRLS! ONE OF YOU
WILL BE OUR NEW
HOMECOMING QUEEN
Goree Johnson, president of
Blue Key, announced last night
the plans for selecting the co-eds
to be entered in the contest to
select the girl to reign over
Homecoming. This plan has been
designed "to eliminate any friction
between groups on the campus
and will give the students
nine of the most beautiful girls
to choose from."
Each sorority will have one girl
entered and this girl to be of
their own choice. Names of the
entrants must be turned in to
Jack Tankersley, Phi Delta Theta
house by Thursday at six o'clock.
The Quadrangle will select one
girl to represent them. Each
dormitory will choose one girl
and the president of each dormitory
will meet and choose one
of these four for their entrant.
The presidents will meet tomorrow
afternoon at Mrs. Marion
Spidle's office at 5:00.
Each town or independent
dormitory will be allowed to
choose one girl to represent all
of them. Each dormitory will select
one girl at their house meeting
tonight and then the presidents
will meet tomorrow afternoon
and choose the one girl to
be their representative. This
meeting is at 5:00 in Dean Spidle's
office.
The election will be held on
Thursday, October 29; the result
will be announced at a later date.
this money will be added together
to compile Auburn's Student
Donation to the War Chest
Drive.
Student representatives will
visit all classrooms today. Collection
of donations to the Chest will
be made at these times. In addition
to this one source of funds,
the Choral Club will present its
popular production, "The Song of
America" tonight in Langdon Hall
at eight o'clock in an effort to
raise more money. Admission will
be the voluntary contributions to
be accepted at the door.
"The Song of America" shows
the progress made by America
since its birth and traces its
growth with songs. Lasting about
one hour, the show will be repeated
at nine if the eight o'clock
show overflows.
A large thermometer has been
placed at the main gate to show
the hourly progress of the drive,
and, if necessary, there is room at
the top to show plenty of extra
contributions.
Many organizations and societies
on the campus have already
presented checks to the Student
Executive Cabinet as their part
in the campaign. Any other
groups desiring to help should do
so by tonight.
All war service and relief
agencies except the Red Cross
are to receive support from the

A Slight Question of Football Ratings
It must be wonderful to be able to figure football ratings. And,
it must be a pretty lucky guy that can get what every type of slide
rule that it takes to figure out the various ratings of fooball teams
over the nation.
This week we received a paper with rating of the first thirty
teams in the country. And, on this particular rating three of Auburn's
1942 opponents were placed on the rating sheet. Georgia came closest
to the top with a rating of 77.7 out of a high of 80.0. Georgia Tech
came next with 76.0 and the prize of them all comes at the last when
Tulane placed Number 28 on the list with 64.8.
It is not that we are jealous or anything, it is that we cannot
understand why some teams can make the top lists of the nation when
they play no better than they do, and the teams who beat them, outplay
the best teams in the country and generally scare the daylights
out of all their opponents so bad some of them will not even put
them on their schedule, cannot even place at the bottom of the lists.
It must be the way of calculating the scores or something. Maybe
it is the high scores that count and not the way the teams show up
or play or.whether they beat their opponents or not. There just ain't
no justice!
Alabama, by-the-way, ranked fourth with a 78.8 rating.
New Name for Co-ed To Reign Homecoming
With Homecoming rapidly becoming a reality, girls are beginning
to primp up, boys are beginning to look around for a possible
co-ed to reign over Homecoming. Always one of the big elections
of the year, selecting the girls to participate is a problem, and picking
the girl to be the winner over all is still more of a problem for
the students.
We wonder if something new could not be tried this year. Not anything
to do with the picking of the entrants or the winner, but with
the name or title given her after she wins. "Miss Homecoming" is a
nice title and that is about all. It is nice but not particularly attractive
or appealing. Why not let us try to get some name for her that will
appeal to all people, not only those of us on the campus, but the many
visitors here, and the many who will see her picture in the papers
over the state.
"Homecoming Queen," "Queen of Homecoming," or some good
southern title to adorn her name on this big occasion. Homecoming
could be made brighter with an attractive title for the "Lady for a
Day."
Town and Campus
By LEONARD HOOPER
The first campus dance of this quarter, presented last Saturday
night in Alumni Gym, was a huge success. There were quite a few
people in the ole Gym learning to square dance and Virginia reel,
and everyone reported a fine time. Round dancing to recorded music
was also enjoyed. Come on out every Saturday night that the dances
are announced and have a "reel" good time.

We'd like to urge you to be at Langdon Hall tonight for the Choral
Club's fine presentation of "Song of America." If you missed this
fine program when it was presented before, let me tell you that it is
one of the finest contemporary chorales.
The program presents the songs of each group of colonizers who
settled this continent, and includes some patriotic songs, ending with
the "Song of America," title song.
If you saw this program before, let me urge you to see it again.
The Choral Club plans to record it tonight, to be used in war chest
drives in various other Alabama towns. There will be a door charge
which will consist of your contribution to Auburn's War Chest. We
know that you have just been approached in each of your morning
classes for donations to this drive, but let me remind you of the nature
of this worthy drive.
In the first place, you might call it a two-fold drive. A large part
of the money will go to Auburn's Community Chest, and of course
you realize that this organization is instrumental in bringing a little
easier time in life to Auburn's less fortunate citizens. The rest of the
money goes to a group of charities who have banded together temporarily
so that the public will not become tired of drive after drive.
This is the biggest drive of the year to which you will be asked to
contribute, and I appeal to you to get into the campaign and go away
over the $1,000 which the school has set as a quota. Auburn students
and faculty members have responded generously to every worthy
campaign in the past, and we call on you to make this one just as
successful as those others.

In the last issue of this paper, someone had written an editorial
bewailing the fact that many of the skits last week were, to express
it mildly, a little rough. Of course this is lamentable, but there is
really nothing a student can do to force a group of students to raise
their moral standard, or, better term, alter their idea of humor. There
is obviously something wrong with our educational system or something.
"The church shall not fail this nation
in its time of need," was the opening line
of a minister on a recent WJHO broadcast.
In this war as in no other slaughter, we
know exactly who's "fer and agin" us.
The b a t t l e of 1918 saw the transference of
some allies into adversaries and failed to
see the suppression of the forces opposing
our ideals.
The church in Germany supported the
Kaiser and the church here supported Wilson
in the last war. Today there is no
church in Germany for the political, or
should we say military, for they are synonymous,
element has supplanted all religious
influence. God has been replaced
by a demi-god. Then we may consider this
a war of religion for if Germany should
win, that word would no longer inhabit
our dictionaries!
We don't know whether the minister
meant that church support is t h e same today
as it was twenty-four years ago or
whether he r e f e r r e d to t h e struggle against
world atheism, but I 'm sure he meant that
chaplains on all battle fronts^ a r e doing
their best to encourage the morale and belief
in idealism in every fighting man.
During other wars there were two
counterbalancing trends toward and away
from theology. Some believed war to be
punishment for sacrilege and immediately
submitted themselves to their preachers.
Others i n t e r p r e t e d the war as proof of the
inadequacy of the religious policy advocated
by church leaders and so fought the
b a t t l e as fatalists. World War Two has
so far assisted the trend away from the
church. The collapse of church domination
in many countries in Europe was imminent
since the leaders held their power
through pompous ceremony and by playing
on superstitions. Here where we have
always been open minded yet cautious in
accepting personal i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s , t h e r e is
a danger of the spread of atheism. These
t r e n d s invariably start in cities and the
South would be the last section to be affected.

Column Left
Students Also Protest Skit Night
Deadlines and lack of space in the last
issue of the paper prevented us from elaborating
more fully on the Skit Night presented
in Langdon Hall.
Since the time that the first article was
published we have run across numerous
comments on t h e Skits, t h e Skit Night and
t h e Article, which we would like to pass
on to you now.
When anything is so disgustingly bad
t h a t even those who sometimes sanction
such words or thoughts or even at times
have participated in mild forms of the
same type of entertainment, come up to
you and want to know if this paper is going
to do anything about it and that the
sentiments expressed in the editorial were
his also or t h a t (according to one student)
" t h e r e is something wrong with the student
who will t h i n k no more of himself or
his girl friends than to listen to such rott
e n humor, if it is and can be called humor,"
t h e n t h e entertainment referred to has
reached the lowest possible form in anyone's
estimation.
One boy who participated in one of the
skits of the lower caliber, took it like a
"man." He laughed it off as if the things
he said were of no consequence tp himself,
or to others. This is probably all
right, however, because in what other way
could such a person takes those words
w r i t t e n and said unless he bowed his head
or stooped to apologize, which people of
his caliber never do.
Still another student commented on the
skit night given last year and said that at
that time t h e r e were a few rough skits but
it was believed these would not be given
again. This l i t t l e " d e t a i l " as someone called
it then, has grown up and will continue
to grow unless someone takes it upon
themselves to remedy the situation.
We are glad and proud of one thing
about the skit night. This is that there
were no parents, or alumni, or visitors in
the audience who might judge A u b u r n by
t h e low degree of students who were "trying"
to put on a "skit."
A columnist on this page says there is
nothing a student can do about the skits,
which is true. There is nothing one student
can do about t h em but t h e r e is something
all the students can do. Not all of
t h e students either, those who would like
to takes their girls to a place where they
do not have to shrink so small in embarrassment
or shame; or those' who could
invite their mothers and fathers in to see
their fraternity or sorority brothers and
sisters perform in their behalf.
It m a y . b e the educational system. We
believe it is t h e students who are to blame
for such as this. We have no definite remedy
for the whole Night. Our remedy lies
up to the individual student. Take a little
time and prepare something worthwhile.
We do not know who won at the present
time, but we will venture out on a limb
and predict that the ones not so dirty, uncouth
and vulgar did not even make a
showing. And, the one which won had
something they spent a little time on to
work up.
Let's "Hurt" Ourselves Today and Help!
Today is the day. Today is the day on
which all of us who are API students will
raise one thousand dollars as a student
contribution to the Alabama War Chest
Fund.
I t ' s a good cause. It's a mighty good
cause. In fact, it's p a r t l y our own cause.
At any rate, many of us will probably receive
direct benefit, in the not too distant
future, from* the drive. For the United
Service Organizations are to receive a considerable
portion of the monies collected
during the one-day campaign for use in
their widespread activities among the
armed forces.
This year, t h e Lee County War drive and
t h e Auburn Community Chest drive have
combined forces in order that a single intensive
effort might be made for all charitable
purposes. The only exception to this
plan will be the regular Red Cross drive.
Student solicitors are visiting all classrooms
to secure contributions today. So
until it h u r t s , " and let it hurt! It^won't
until it hurts", and let it h u m ! It won't

Q u a d ra 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.
In war, you've gotta be self-reliant.
You also have to make the
best of what you have. You also
have to do without some conveniences.
* * *
For example, tin cans ain't as
plentiful as ever. Other food containers
are going the way of
victory. By logical reasoning, that
leads one to the ultimate conclusion
that egg noodles aren't
going to be on every grocery
shelf. i
* * *
If the man you cook for likes
egg noodles, you'll have to get
busy and fix 'em up.
* * *
You'll have to use your noodle,
and you'll need some eggs, lots of
eggs.
* * *
Finally finding a picture of egg
noodles on an army menu, you
set about imitating same.
* * *
It's easy to see that noodles
come in strips, that the wide ones
are white, and that the dry ones
are yellow. We'll get to them in
their logical order, fixing the
yellow ones first to give them
time to dry.
* * *
First, you separate the yolk
from the rest of the egg. Then
remove bits of shell from both
-portions. Lay the white aside
temporarily, and prepare yourself
for a struggle.
* » *
The preliminary work is fairly
easy. You just take a fork, string
out the yellow, and hang it up
in the window to dry. Just how
you go about hanging it up doesn't
matter, just so long as you get it
up. We have no suggestions.
* * *
Don't be getting discouraged.
Cooking is one thing a young
bride should know.
* * *
And now comes the job. Compared
with it, pushing the Japs
off the seas is simple. But, after
all, this is war, and morale is a
woman's business.
* * *
Lay the whites out in a flat
pan or dish, and cut them into
strips one-quarter inch wide and
eight inches long.
* * *
Repeat, because they've run together.
After about the fourth
time, you should begin to notice
something is going wrong, if your
IQ is something over 32. • -
» * »
It's not much over that, or
you'd bash the old man over the
haid and forget this noodle-cutting.
* * *
You weep. You mourn. You
tear your hair. You grow hot. You
get cold. You get hot. You get
cold. Suddenly, on your fifth
cold, you get an idea, and pop the
whites into the refrigerator.
* * *
After a couple of hours, you
take them out. They don't seem
visibly affected. You put them in
the ice tray, turn up the freezing
unit, and wait a while. What we
mean, you wait a while.
* * *
This time it works. You cut
them into strips, lay them on the
table while you pick the dried
noodles, or semi-dried noodles,
or allegedly dried noodles, off
the window. You turn around to
find that the frozen noodles have
melted and run together.
* * *
Oh well, you say, it's a miz-zuble
war. And then you get the
idea. You get some corn starch,
some flour, some cement. You
mix same with egg whites. You
wait a few minutes, and slice the
mixture up. They are beautiful
strips.
* * *
You show 'em to hubby. "Yes,"
he agrees, "they are beautiful.
But they ain't noodles!"
* + »
That just goes to prove that
ingenuity ain't wanted in the
case of noodles. Don't hoard •'em,
but you better stock up if hubby
has to have them. They can't
be made in the kitchen.
* * »
The moral? Sure . . . Ole Man
Mose was a daid ole man. .
F A R M E R S . . .
Make every market-day
BOND DAY!
For our fighting men,
for our country's future
and for freedom
we must meet and
beat our county War
Bond quota and keep on doing
it.
Pick up your War Bonds and
Stamps on your second stop
in town... right after you've
sold your eggs, milk, poultry,
stock or grain. No investment
is too small and no investment
is too large ...the
important thing is to buy

Before you call Long Distance,
please ask yourself:
1. Is it really necessary ?
2. Will it interfere with war calls ?
rrWXEPHONE lines — especially Long Distance circuits
X are crowded as never before, these war days. Materials
to build new lines — copper, rubber, nickel—are
needed for the shooting war. So we must get the most
out of present facilities.
You can help us keep the wires clear for vital war calls
if you will do these two things: (1) Don't call Long Distance
unless it's urgent; (2) Call by number if possible
and please be brief. Thank you!

Last Week
Seven Month School
Term Possible
"A seven-month term for all
schools in Alabam can be provided
this year if the surplus
money now in the educational
trust fund is preserved and the
principle of setting aside a specific
amount of money for public education
is not disturbed," declared
E. B. Norton, state superintendent
of education at the annual meeting
of the IV District A. E. A.
here Thursday.
Speaking before nearly 100 representatives
from schools in 10
East Alabama Counties, Superintendent
Norton discussed three
of the six phases of school legislation
for 1943, namely, increased
support for education, parity and
the educational trust fund surplus.
H. R. Greer, A. E. A. president,
talked on the other three phases:
teacher welfare, qualifications of
state, city, and county superintendents
and free textbooks.
Earlier in the meeting, President
Greer told the representatives
that the 1942-43 A. E. A.
program had four aims: to have
all teachers join local, state and
national organization of the A. E.
A.; to have all teachers assist in
the local organization of active
legislative and public relation
committees; to have all members
exert every effort to get federal
aid for schools; and to obtain cooperation
and aggressive action
from all members of the A. E. A.
toward enactment of the A. E. A.
legislative program.

Several Outstanding
Plays Made During
Football Games
By BILLY HILL
The interfraternity football
leagues proceeded at a fast clip
last week as four games were
played. These games were varied
in score as well as in outstanding
moments. The summaries are as
follows:
SAE 7—KA 6
In a very close game, the SAEs
emerged victorious over the KAs
in an extra period by the score
of 7-6. The SAE touchdown came
on a pass from Jug Wright to
Mangrum. The touchdown was
set up on two passes from Wright
to Moore and Strange. The attempt
for the point was blocked.
The KAs scored their six-pointer
on a pass which traveled 40
yards from Jones to their center
Tommy Guyton. In the extra period
the SAEs picked up a total
of about 20~ yards as a result of
a single pass from Wright to
Mangrum.
In their part of the period, the
KAs picked up 15 yards on passes
from Jones to Guyton. The
guards on each team played outstanding
ball; Pryor for the KAs,
and Jones and Johnson for the
SAEs being outstanding.
Sigma Chi 17—Sigma Pi 0
The Sigma Chis downed an outclassed
Sigma Pi team to the
tune of 17 to 0. Four of the total
points came in the first quarter
as the result of two safeties. In
the first instance, Cowart blocked
Vakakes' punt in the end zone;
the second, Ellis, playing end,
tagged Vakakes while attempting
to punt.
The Sigma Chis scored again in
the second period on a pass from
Mastin to Burroughs which went
for 30 yards. A pass from Mastin
to Williams was good for the extra
point.
The second six-pointer came in
the last period and was a carboncopy
of the first for Mastin tossed
to Burroughs who carried the ball
over.
Vakakes and Bol*? g u a r d,
played a good game for the Sigma
Pis while Mastin and Burroughs
completed several passes for the

DOCTOR OF LAWS
GIVEN TO NORTON
AS FACULTY MEETS
An honorary Doctor of Laws
Degree was presented to E. B.
Norton, state superintendent of
education, here Thursday evening
at a meeting of the Faculty
Forum.
The presentation was made by
Dr. L. N. Duncan, president, after
which Dr. Norton delivered the
address of the evening before
members of the Auburn faculty
and staff gathered in the dining
hall of the Women's Quardrangle.
In bestowing the degree, Dr.
Duncan read the following citation:
"Upon Elbert B. Norton, in recognition
of his outstanding contributions
to the cause of public
education in Alabama as a citizen,
teacher, administrator of schools;
and in recognition of his high
qualities of moral and Christian
leadership; and whose professional
career has demonstrated the
quality of his scholarship: who,
through democratic processes
which the nation is now at war
to defend, has been chosen by the
people to administer the affairs
of public education in the State
of Alabama; the Board of Trustees
and Faculty of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute confer the
degree, Doctor of Laws, Honoris
Causa, this 15th Day of October,
Anno Domini, 1942."
In the resolution passed by the
College Executive Council recommending
the award of the degree,
it was stated that Dr. Norton "has
made lasting contributions to the
uplift of the people of the State
through his services to public
education."
Sigma Chis which either scored
or set up scoring plays.
Phi Delta Theta 13—Lambda
Chi 0
The Phis broke into the win
column as they defeated the
Lambda Chis 13-0 after they had
lost their first two games. The
Phis scored early in the first
period as Caldwell standing on
the midfield stripe tossed to Mc-
Call who took the ball on the 15
and ran it over for the score. The
attempt for. the extra point was
blocked.
A few moments after the first
touchdown, the Phis were on the
march again and this time they
carried the ball to the 25 yard
marker where Caldwell tossed
the ball to Charlie Scales for the
six-pointer. The extra point was
good as Houston ran the ball
over.
Playing in the starring roles for
the losers were Morgan at guard,
Milner at tailback, and Hudson
at center. For the Phis, Houston
turned in a nice blocking performance,
while Caldwell, Scales,
and McCall played a fine game.
Theta Chis 27—TEP 0
The Theta Chis ran wild over
an utterly bewildered TEP team
and the final score was 27-0. The
first touchdown came on the
kickoff as Ortagus took the ball
and skirted the end for the entire
distance to score. A few moments
later, Ortagus again scored on a
run around right end from the
eight yard line after the Theta
Chis had worked the ball down
on passes.
Ortagus scored his third touchdown
of the game in the second
half when he intercepted a TEP
pass on the 20 and ran it over. The

AUBURN FROSH TI6ERS GO
TO MA6IC CITY FOR 6AME
Coach Jack Meagher didn't have enough reserves to make
up a "B" team this year so he combined the varsity reserves
with the freshmen to organize what will be known as the
Auburn "B" team.
Auburn's "B" team will invade Birmingham and Legion
Field Wednesday night to tangle
with Miss. State freshmen in
what might prove to be a real tussle.
Thus far this season, Auburn's
"B" squad has encountered but
one foe, the 124th Inf. from Fort
Benning, who withered under the
heavy bombardment and went
down 21-0 at the hands of these
future Plainsmen warriors.
In running over Ft. Benning,
such backs as John Lambert, Joe
Pollins, Bill Rye, Billy Harrel, and
Jim Shiver came into their own.
Lambert, who plays fullback, is
built very much like Rufus Deal,
former Auburn back, and runs
with perhaps the same degree of
effectiveness, as he piles into the
opposing lines. Jim Shiver, a redheaded
youngster from Valdosta,
Ga., is the number one left half.
He is an adept passer and runner,
and a kicker of excellent caliber.
His passing ability was vouched

Football Sidelines
By JOHN HARVEY THOMAS
«• Saturday night in Griffith Stadium, Georgetown's Hoyas played
host to our mighty Plainsmen in a game which saw both teams slide,
slip, wade, and skid to a 6-6 fie before some twelve thousand spectators.
Auburn started off early in the first quarter and banged down
to the Hoya three yard stripe where a fourth down fumble was
recovered by Georgetown. Garfield, Hoya back, kicked out, but
Auburn was determined to stay in their opponents territory as they
waded back to Georgetowns 20 yard marker. Once more Auburn
bogged down and the Hoyas kicked out again after several running
plays netted them a total of 15 yards.
Auburn was at it again, but this time for keeps, as Reynolds
started the drive by carrying the oval back to the Hoya 40 yard line
in four quick plays as the first quarter ended. On the first play of the
second quarter, Gafford threw a pass to Clayton who was pulled
down on the 11. On the next play, Gafford tossed to Clayton for the
game's first six-pointer. Chateau's attempt for conversion was wide.
By this time Georgetown came to life. They took Chateau's kick-off
and marched on until they had gained six points for themselves!
Their attempt for the extra point was wide also. It was truly a
battle of mud, to see who could outskid the other in the quickest
and hardest manner. Gafford, Reynolds, and Irby kept punching at
the Hoya line all along and were undoubtedly the big guns in the
Auburn ground attack. Harkins, Gafford, and Gendusa carried the
passing honors, with Grimmett, Barton, and Finney doing the great
part of the receiving. On the defense Cornelius, Pharr, Costellos,
and Canzoneri had to bury their faces several times in the mud
before they gained the laurels for defensive performances.
As a whole, the boys made an excellent showing. They outplayed
Georgetown despite the weather and the weight.
Carl Fletcher, Junior end, has returned to practice, bolstering our
flanks considerably. Carl's injured knee seems to be coming along
fine and chances are he will play Friday night.
