PEP RALLY TO BE
HELD ON THURSDAY
•There will be a gigantic Pep
Rally at the Auburn Stadium
Thursday night at 7:15 o'clock,
preceding the departure of the
team for New Orleans. Encouraged
by the turnout at last week's
pajama parade, one of the largest
and most enthusiastic ever staged
on the campus, head-cheerleader
John Spencer announced that this
week's rally should also be one
of mammoth proportions. Several
members of the coaching staff will
be on hand to make short addresses
to the students, and to tell
some of the inside dope on how
we will beat Tulane this coming
Saturday, despite the little "misunderstanding"
in Atlanta last
week, the team is in the best of
spirits and is anxiously awaiting
the opening guns against the
Green Wave and the other eight
tough opponents remaining on our
schedule.
The rally will begin promptly
at 7:15, and will not last over an
hour, so all that can possible
make it are urged to give our
boys a rousing send-off to New
Orleans and a victory over the
Tulane "Greenies".

Location for Play
"Macbeth" Probably Will Be Presented At
Y-Hut in Series of Nightly Performances
By ROBERT SHARMAN
For the purpose of securing better and more unusual
lighting effects, space and convenience will be sacrificed with
the presentation of the next dramatization by the Auburn
Players. With no definite plans scheduled as to the time of
the next play and the number of times it is to be presented,
it is thought that it will be given in the Y-Hut. The Y-Hut is

Auburn Graduate Listed
As Recent War Casualty
Lt. Sam N. Young, an Auburn
graduate of 1938, has been reported
a war casualty in the Southwest
Pacific but no details of his
death have yet been given by the
War Department.
In 1941 he entered the Army
and was assigned last January to
the 22nd Ordnance Company
which was stationed in the Pacific
war zone.
Enlisting
Students Able
To Save Time
Kirtley Brown Is
Faculty Military
Representative
Students who wish to apply for
enlistment in the Army Air Corps
Reserves should first obtain full
information and necessary forms
from Kirtley Brown, armed services
representative, 104 Samford
Hall, before reporting to the Recruiting
Office in Montgomery.
By so doing, unnecessary delay
may be avoided.
In applying to the Aviation Cadet
Examining Board in Montgomery,
it is necessary ;that a student
have the following documents:
(1) birth certificate or the
properly executed substitute
form, (2) three letters of recommendation,
(3) a release from his
draft board, (4) an official letter
from the college, and (5) the completed
application form properly
notarized.
An extra trip to Montgomery
will be necessary unless all of
the* above documents are presented
to the Cadet Examining Board
when application is first made by
the student in person.
Students wishing to join the
Army Enlisted Reserves should
first see Mr. Brown who will assist
them with their application.
ON THE CAMPUS
Sigma Xi
The Auburn Sigma Xi Club
will meet Monday night, October
5, at 7:30 at the USDA Regional
Lab for Animal Diseases. This
building is located a few yards
past the Golf course.
New staff members who are
also Sigma Xi members are invited
to attend.
Debating Activities
The student Debate Council
will meet in Broun 305 tonight at
7:00. All members are urged to
attend the meeting and an invitation
is also extended to those
new students who would like to
take part in the debating activities
on the campus.
"A" Club Session
An important meeting of the
A Club will be held tonight at
7:30 P. M. in the Ross Chemical
Laboratory.
Future Farmers
Tonight at 7:00 in Langdon Hall
the Future Farmers of America
will have their meeting and all
Ag. Ed. students are invited to
attend. There will be a string
band and quartet to furnish entertainment
and the entire program
will be in the hands of the
students.
IRC Meeting
there equipment of many kinds is
readily available at all times.
Those advantages will serve to
simply many production problems.
It will probably be necessary
for the performance to be given a
number of times in order that
everyone may see it. Ten performances
have been suggested
and may be accepted.
The character of Macbeth is to
be played by Robert Blackburn,
whose excellent portrayal of David
Bliss in "Hay Fever" contributed
much to its success. The
part of Lady Macbeth is given to
Miss Marjorie McKinnon,-^. ex-murderess
of the play "Suspect".
Macduff will be done by Tommy
Allison; Banquo, Andy Ellner;
Duncan, Robert Hart; Malcolm,
Milton Strain; Donalbain, Milton
Persons; Ross, Willis Dickey;
Porter, Gordon Hallmark; Seytori?
Jimmy Williams; Angu, William
Buck Taylor; three witches, Jean-elle
• Boone, Ruth Guggenheim,
and Sarah Smith; Gentlewoman,
Patty McCoy; Doctor, Helmut
Thielsch.
Certain difficulties have been
encountered such as the inability
of the actors to sword fight. The
exhibition of fencing, while helping
to make the play a real thriller,
should be in itself worth seeing.
Macbeth is under the supervision
of Professor Telfair B. Peet.
The present officers of the Auburn
Players are William Buck
Taylor, president; Marjorie Mc-
Kinnon, vice-president; and Eliza
Allen Odom, secretary and treasurer.
TONIGHT AT 8:30 P. M., A
PHOTOGRAPH WILL BE TAKEN
OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
AUBURN PLAYERS TO BE
USED IN THE 1943 ISSUE OF
THE GLOMERATA.
Phi Lambda Upsilon Selects
Four Men at Annual Smoker
Two Awards Won By
Sophomores for Fine
Scholastic Records
Four students of Chemical
Engineering and one faculty
member were tapped last night
by Phi Lambda Upsilon, national
honorary chemical society, at
their annual smoker. The men
tapped, three of whom were juniors
and one a senior, are as follows:
James L. West, Columbia,
Tenn.; Herbert A. Warren, Birmingham;
James M. Smith, Auburn;
Gene Bloom, Rochester,
Minn., and Prof. W. C. Frishe, instructor
in ChemicaLEngineering.
The purpose of the Phi Lambda
Upsilon Society is: To foster a
spirit of fellowship among the
students in the field of chemistry,
to promote a higher standard of
scholarship, to widen the interest
in the field of chemistry and its
allied subjects, and to place honor
upon those students deserving of
recognition because of their meritorious
work. Accordingly the
Herman D. Jones award, presented
to the sophomore in the school
of chemistry who shows the
greatest scholastic improvement
in his sophomore year over his
freshman year, was given to
Harold Libby, junior in Chemical
Engineering from Mobile. Another
award, presented to the freshman
with the highest average in the
school of chemistry, went to J. T.
Roberts, Jr., sophomore in Mechanical
Engineering from Montgomery.
Sigma Chis Defeat Scrappy
ALT Squad by Score of 12-0
Auburn Graduate
Awarded DSC By
General MacArthur
The present world catastrophe
which has taken a terrific toll on
young manhood has another former
Auburn student as its victim.
Lt. Robert Bruce Burleson, originally
from Hamilton, Alabama, is
listed as "missing in action," and
was one of the nine airmen recently
awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross, by Gen. Douglas
MacArthur.
The citation recognized his
bravery as a member of a bomber
crew who flew a disabled
plane to bomb a Jap stronghold
near Rabaul. The crippled bomber
was attacked by Jap fighter
planes and was seen to drop toward
the ocean, its fuel tank and
bomb bay blazing.
Lt. Burleson was a student in
mechanical engineering at Alabama
Polytechnic Institute from
1937 to 1940.
War Eagle Cries
The International Relations
Club will hold its first meeting

Boys-Girls, Last Chance
A final chance to have pic- /
tures made for the 1943 Glom-erata
will be offered on Thursday
and Friday of this week.
On these two days representatives
of Whitehall Studios will
be in Auburn to take the last
group of pictures that it will
be possible to include in the
new yearbook. IF YOU HAVE
NOT HAD YOUR PICTURE
TAKEN HAVE IT MADE THIS
WEEK!
Marsh and Weir Make
Touchdowns During
First Half of Game
Yesterday afternoon on Bullard
Field a strong Sigma Chi touch
football team downed a scrappy
Alpha Lambda Tau nine 12-0.
Playing heads up ball throughout,
the Sigma Chis capitalized on the
breaks to punch over two early
scores; which proved to be a margin
that the ALTs could not
overcome.
On the second play of the game,
Tommy Mastin intercepted a wild
ALT heave, and ran it deep into
scoring territory. On the next play
of the game, Mastin faded back
and pitched a perfect strike to
Hal Marsh for the first Sigma Chi
tally. In the early stages of the
second period, Howard Weir intercepted
another ALT pass and
dashed to the ten yard line with
it. Harry Donovan did the honors
this time flipping the scoring pass
to Weir on the next play. Both
extra point tries were no good.
A scoreless second hald followed,
and the game ended with the
blue-shirted Sigma Chis victorious.
Dowdy and Stanford stood out
for the losers while the passing
and kicking of Mastin was best
for the winning Sigma Chi team.
Officials for the game: Pat
Brinson, referee; Ivan Miller,
Field judge; and J. T. Bryan,
head linesman. For Sigma Chi>
Marsh and Weir scoring.
FIVE STUDENTS ON
DEAN'S LIST IN
CHEMISTRY SCHOOL
Five students, four juniors and
one senior were named on the
Dean's list of the School of Chemistry
for the coming quarter.
Those selected were:
Roy O. Hill 4.00
E. Wilbert Robinson 4.00
Jane Foster .4.00
Margaret O. Kilburn 4.00
James M. Smith 4.00
These students were chosen by
Dean C. L. Hare. Miss Kilburn
is the senior.
It seems a pity in these days
and times that students' have
to worry and quibble over incidentals
and trifles when there
is so much important work to
be done; things that are worth
working and worrying about.
Right now I have particular
reference to this business of
"borrowing" someone else's
things and not returning them
or leaving a note or word as to
the location of the article. In
plain language so that the type
student who does this sort of
thing will understand it. we are
referring to "stealing." This is
really all it amounts to. When
one borrows something and
does not return it, or when one
borrows something and tells no
one where it is or when it will
be back, it amounts to "stealing."
On the campus it is not so bad
as it is in some boarding houses,
rooming houses, fraternity
houses, and we imagine even in
the dormitories. This still does
not excuse the culprits. College
students are supposed to put
into practice now the things
they are going to use later. Try
being honest and sincere in all
things, because that is what is
going to be expected of you
when you get a job and start
work, with any employer.
Auburn Knights
Will Present
Sunday Show
Noted Band In
13th Year Of
Music-Making
In their fifth annual public
performance in the Tiger Theater
the 1942 edition of the Auburn
Knights will present three performances
Sunday afternoon and
night. Under the baton of Lyman
Mitchell, a newcomer who replaced
Bobby Adair at the close
of last year, the Knights are opening
their thirteenth season on
the campus with a band which
ranks as one of the best they
have even had. The band, long
an institution at Auburn and
throughout the South, remained
at home in Auburn this past summer
for the first time in many
years. Due to transportation difficulties
and to the accelerated
school program, they confined
their activities to local dances,
handling nearly all the summer
dance assignments on the plains.
Again featuring their petite
songstress, Helen Johnson, the
Knights this year is composed of
eleven veterans of previous years
as well as two newcomers to the
band. This year is the first for Ed
Edney, handling the bass fiddle,
and Kay Montgomery, arranger
and trumpet artst.
Featuring many new arrangements
and a varied assortment of
novelties and popular favorites,
the Knights will present a representative
program of pieces which
should suit the most fastidious
music lover. The Sunday performances
are scheduled for afternoon
and night, with probably two
shows in the afternoon, one early
and one late, and another in the
evening. Following their successes
of previous years, the date of this
week's performances should be a
red letter day for Auburn's lovers
of both swing and sweet.
Faculty Members Are
Invited To Use The
Gynasium on Tuesday
Members of the faculty are invited
to avail themselves of the
recreational facilities at Alumni
Gymnasium each Tuesday evening
from 7 to 9 p. m., according
to announcement of Dr. V. W.
Lapp.
At this time each week members
of the faculty will be given
the opportunity to swim or play
badminton (birds to be furnished
by players), table tennis, and
shuffleboard.

Auburn Vital in Time of War as Nerve Center
Our town is of distinct military importance
to the enemy because of its location.
A few miles south of Auburn is the highway
connecting two of the most vital military
centers in the South and the taking
of that highway would offer an excellent
opportunity to begin advances on Ft. Ben-ning
and Montgomery. A few miles north
of Auburn is the highway connecting the
most important industrial area of the South
with its Gulf coast shipping ports. The taking
of that highway and railroad would
cut off a very important supply of iron
arid offer again an opportunity to sieze
Birmingham. We see when we think about
it that Auburn is important as a center
from which to begin attack.
Most of us really feel that it is ridiculous
and unreasonable to fear that the enemy
can actually gain a foothold in our country.
We ask, "Even if he did, why should
he choose to attack our secluded town?"
However, the thinking man realizes that
our enemies do not attack the main objectives
immediately, but first gain a foothold
in some small town through which
important highways run and then they
spread out into and conquer the invaded
country. Auburn is the perfect town for
this sort of action.
And yet we are entirely unprepared.
What can we do about it, we civilians? We
can certainly be careful about the information
which we give away, we can be on
the watch for characters who engage in
the slightest suspicious action, we can train
ourselves to combat the enemy and hold
him off until more effective help arrives.
The town officials should certainly call
more practice blackouts. We should have
daytime practice air raid alarms, so that
everyone should know where to turn.
These practices would help our citizenry
in their most important duty, that of keeping
the war constantly in mind. People of
Auburn, we must not think it impossible
that the enemy should come to us; we must
take no chances. It is certainly worth the
minutes to be prepared, and we will be
ready. _ ^ J. M. S.
Q u a d r a t i cs
By ALLEN ODOM
Beauty Ball Causes Needless Student Talk
In past years about this time—Glom-erata-
ODK Beauty Ball—the coeds and
the male students who have good looking
female friends on the campus, begin to
yell fraud and swindle and several other
biased terms which they or no others have
any foundation to talk on.
In order to offer an explanation before
hand about the Beauty Ball and the judging
before it happens, we offer the system
which will be used this year. This is offered
by the Editor of The Glomerata and
the president of the organization.
Three judges will do all the picking and
selecting of the beauties. These judges will
be male faculty members, some one who
does not have any partial or biased outlook
on the Ball and who will judge in the
right manner. No students will be on the
judging committee because they would
tend to pick the beauties from popularity
rather than beauty.
After the judges have made their decision
they will turn the names over to the
Editor and the President and they alone
will know the names of the Beauties until
the Tuesday issue of The Auburn
Plainsman when they will be released for
publication. No one will know the names
of the Beauties until the paper comes out,
except the judges and the two student
leaders.
We do not see how there can be any
complaining about this method; Each
dormitory and sorority have their opportunity
to pick their favorites and then out-in-
town girls will have a chance when the
Glomerata and ODK pick additional entrants.
If there is any way that the votes
or selections can be "crooked up" as has
been the accusation before in the past, we
would like to know it. We know the Glomerata
and ODK chiefs would so that everything
could be straightened out before
hand and do away with all the criticism
afterwards.
Editor's note: The opinions expressed
In this column are those of the writer
and are not to be constrned as the editorial
policies of this paper.
Hades Daquiri is again having
delusions of grandeur, and refuses
to talk to the rabble, me being
the rabble. She often goes on
these splurges of exclusiveness
because she knows I'm broke and
can't buy another typewriter. Besides
what with typewriters running
short in Washington she figures
she can afford to be independent.

So in desperation we robbed
the mails and found this rather
amusing letter from Coralie Coed
to Karrie Kampus who is now
touring the Army Camps.
* * *
Dear Karrie,
I haven't had a chance to write
since I got back to school, so I'll
sort of sum things up before I get
around to current events. I have
a new room-mate who's a wow.
She's short, fatr wears bifocals,
and reads German and Latin poetry
as a hobby.
* * *
I think she's rather sorry for
me because I haven't the mental
ability to enjoy it, as she humors
me like one humors an imbecile,
with a "there-now-it'U-be-all-right"
attitude
She's already started trying to
demoralize me by playing a record
of reveille at 6:30( every
morning, and wearing pajamas
with enough braid and brass buttons
on them to supply the Quartermaster
Corps for the next ten
years.

We' had a mild disaster at a
birthday feast last night. Food
was beginning to run low and all
that remained was the cake, as
yet uncut, when we heard the
local sponger coming down the
hall. Lucinda wasn't in a particularly
benevolent mood so she
grabbed the cake and dived under
the bed.

With a sigh, the new arrival
collapsed on the very spot under
which were Lucinda and the
cake. We heard a muffled "whiif!"
from the vicinity of the floor, but
not until Poison Ivy departed did
we discover the full extent of the
damage. Lucinda emerged with
chocolate icing absolutely obliterating
her face, and all that remained
of the cake was a hole.

Remember Wake Island—Tonight!
Auburn will have the opportunity tonight
of partially paying a debt which it
owes to Uncle Sam. This obligation cannot
be retired completely for some time.
In fact, it is something which all of us
will owe until the final day of the present
struggle and undoubtedly for a long time
after that great day.
To put the facts bluntly, the daily costs
of waging war in these times reach astronomical
proportions. Payment of these
expenses cannot be deferred indefinitely.
The burden of debt which our children
and grandchildren already face is represented
by a sickening sum. Our generation
must pay a sizeable part of the debt
which it is incurring.
It is true that purchasing of war bonds
is a form of borrowing or deferred payment.
Still there is an advantage in this
type of governmental financing which lies
in the fact that with each bond sold there
is an additional amount of money not
available for unessential purchases. So,
bonds and more bonds bought by all who
can afford them seem to offer one of the
best bulwalks against the very real danger
of an inflated currency.
The above ramblings are apparently devoid
of much explanation concerning the
opportunity which was spoken of in the
first sentence. But there is a relation. For
tonight a large but select group of Auburn
townspeople and students are going
to be present at the Tiger Theater. These
patriotic persons are going to enjoy
"Wake Island,", a thrilling picturization of
the heroic defense of this small Pacific
outpost. And these people will each purchase
a twenty-five dollar war bond as an
admission price. Those buying bonds will
be the only ones admitted.
No form of return will be received by
the Tiger Theater management for this
showing. An advance ticket sale is being
held at the box office today, with a single
price being set for all sales — that is
$18.75. Tickets may also be secured at
either of the local banks or at the post
office. . '
Tonight's the night to remember Wake
Island in a most enjoyable manner. B. T.

Maybe this is because the first
time they met Lucinda was sitting
backwards in a chair, clad
only in unmentionables up to the
waist, these topped by a red silk
pajama blouse, veiled hat, and
gloves. The discussion of the
moment was on whether ants
tasted bitter or merely burned,
when eaten on Devil's Food cake
in the dark.

That last reminds me of the
girl who tried to solve the mysteries
of an alarm clock. She was
drawing up a set of plans by
which even the least technical-minded
of us could set the clock,
wind it, set the alarm and wind
that, and pull out various things
so that it would go off.

She became so confused with
all the little arrows, knobs and
keys that she had to leave Auburn.
She is now attending the
institution at Tuscaloosa. And it's
a shame, too, because she was a
wonder at an airplane instrument

Fraternity and Sorority Skit Night
Auburn's Fraternity and Sorority Skit
Night will be held on the nights of October
14 and 15. This event was a definite success
when held last year with only the fraternities
participating. The six sororities on the
campus have been asked to join in the proceedings
this time, and more laughs than
ever are promised for all who attend the
coming presentation.
The Auburn Knights will play during
the evening and will offer a number of
new arrangements. An enjoyable evening
is in prospect. Be there!

Editor's note: The opinions expressed
in tills column are those ot the writer
and are not to be constrned as the editorial
policies of this paper.
In spite of what any radio announcer
might have led you to
believe, it rained in Atlanta. He
needn't have worrie'd about giving
aid and comfort to the enemy.
Comfort was impossible, and
Prokop and Castleberry gave aid.
* * *
We have never enjoyed a football
game less. We have been
defeated before. We have been
wet before. And we have been
bombarded with cushions before.
But never before have we been
all at once.
* * *
We left Auburn late. We arrived
in Atlanta later—much later.
Again the band failed to have
a parade. We took buses straight
to the stadium from the station.
As it was, some missed the kick
off. And all missed dinner.
* * «
Along with a crowd of others
who didn't have sense enough to
get in out of the rain, we watched
the football game. It looked more
like water polo. After each play
they had to lay a towel over
where the ball floated so they
could find it again to start the
next play.
* * *
At least that's what we thought;
but a neighbor told us that the
ball was dead, so they pulled a
sheet up over it.
* * *
And when the game was nearly
over and the cushion bombardment
started, we had a new rain
to worry about. Those seats were
made of newspaper confetti in
paper covers. When they hit, they
exploded. Some played shrapnel
and exploded in mid-air. It
looked like a snow storm. It felt
like a hailstorm.
* * *
We played bridge for over two
hundred miles. And we came to
regret our previous railroad-bridge
kibitzing advice. We had ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
it practiced on us in detail. We
were even asked for criticism of
form.
* * *
We learned a new trick too.
One kind advisor asked at frequent
intervals, "Why don't you
play something sensible, like
poker?" After a time this got
monotonous.
* * *
We saw some remarkable
bridge playing, too. We actually
heard a psychic no-trump open
used with success. But we don't
recommend the practice.
* * *
We heard a new variation of
the Vanderbilt Club Convention.
Our opponents would bid as follows:
"I bid one Vanderbilt club,"
or, "I bid one ordinary club." It
eliminates confusion.
* * *
And we heard a five no-trump
bid legally used as a response to
a four no-trump bid, using the
Blackwood Convention. Good
hand, don't you think?
We spent a most enjoyable two days in Atlanta this week-end
and found out quite a few things. When Auburn plays away from
home anytime and students go to the games they usually find out
something they did not know about the other team, their hosts, or
the town in which they visit.
One of the first things we found out about Georgia and Atlanta
is that Auburn is not the only place in which it rains constantly.
The only time we have seen more rain was down on the drill field
one time while the cadet corps waited for some celebrity to come
and look at us. The only time it quit the deluge was at the half as
the teams ran off the field—the down pour suddenly stopped and
everyone closed up his umbrella and took off his raincoat, and
settled down to enjoy the game. But, the teams marched back on the
field in a few minutes and "the rains came" again, timed almost to
the very second.
Item number two that we learned something about was the Tech
"razzle dazzle" that we had heard so much about. For years we have
heard newspapers comment on this type of play used so successfully
by the Atlanta team, and we certainly saw it put into practice Saturday.
. -
With the field like the eighth sea, Tech pulled passes out of a
bag and dropped them into another bag to carry their two touchdowns
across the goal line.

Three Thoughts on College Newspaper Columns
Every editor that comes into office on a college newspaper has
practically the same problems. Perhaps not the same in detail but
with the same principles. College newspaper editors who are in the
co-educational institutions have more to take care of than the one
in an all male or all female college.
It is impossible to make everyone happy with a newspaper. In
fact it is impossible to find any one item that will meet with the approval
of every student. We can even go so far as to say that there
are few columns that will appeal to all the males or all the females,
and certainly columns that appeal to the females will not appeal to
the males, the majority in each case.
Thought number three along this line is that the same columns
issue after issue soon become boring and to say the least uninteresting.
Now, the whole point is this: All of the columns in The Auburn
Plainsman will not appeal to all types of students. It would be impossible
to try to get one that does. (And if that's all we ran, it too would
soon become boring.) If we run a column for girls the boys do not
like it and the same is true in reverse.
All we ask is that each of you bear in mind that certain columns
are for all students, some of them are for the girls, some for boys, and
some for different groups on the campus. If you do not like the columns,
we ask you to bear in mind that there are quite a few that do
or else they would not be in the paper. It is all the students' newspaper
and not one or two groups on the campus.
Town and Campus
By LEONARD HOOPER
Maybe you thought I was kidding when in my last column I
made a couple of cracks about University of Alabama boys' not having
any system in their hitchhiking. Several people commented about
it to me. Nevertheless, I was dead serious. Way back before TTAH-HT
(Transportation Trouble and Hitchhikers' Hard Times), I used
to catch rides home and back at nearly every holiday, and there were
But the final score at the end plenty of occasions which convinced me that the Capstone Crew
" ! ' ' -"•- ' ' make far poorer thumbers than us from'API.
To cite a specific instance which I saw occur a couple of times:
on the southbound corner, out of Montgomery, University and Auburn
cadets, soldiers, sailors, and chance boys from other schools
would stand together to catch rides. Whenever a car stopped, the
University boys invariably rushed over in a drove, as if to say "Take
me!" A couple of boys I know who go to the University have told me
that there simply is no organized ride-thumbing above Montgomery.
As a general rule, they said, the University boys would string out
in groups of three or four all along the main arteries of traffic, and
rush cars, in the hopes of snagging a ride.
Mind you, I do not mean, in this column, to throw off on our illustrious
sister institution or anyone who attends it. I'm merely stating
that I'm glad that Auburn boys have evolved, throughout the
years, certain customs which govern our ride-getting; certain customs
which it might help the University boys to emulate or adopt.
* » * '
I'd like to commend our efficient and lively pep squad for the fine
way in which they carried out the yell-leading in our first game and
the pep rally before it. Although more than half these boys and girls
are new this year, they were really fine in the grand leading of the
crowds which they did. Of course, there are a few imperfections to
be polished off, due to their not having worked together before, but
HALT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! these, it seems, will be ironed out in time, and the pep squad will go

Tonight we heard a guy say
that he was going to join the marines.
He said he wasn't tough,

this as a contribution. We
are inclined to disagree with the

The 1942-43 Auburn Concert and Lecture Series will consist
of eight outstanding attractions which will appear on
the campus during the months of October, November, January,
February, and March.
The series will open on October 19 with the Graff Ballet,
followed by the Opera in Miniature, November 17; Alfred
Noyes, English poet, Nov. 23; Cornelia Otis Skinner, Jan. 13;
H. R. Knickerbocker, war correspondent, Feb. 2; Fray and
Braggiotti, duo-piano team, Feb.
22; Igor Gorin, baritone, March 10;
and t h e Biart Symphonietta,
March 24.
Season tickets for the series
will be sold for $1.00 to college
students and for $3.00 to members
of _ the faculty, the public and
high school students, beginning
Wednesday morning, October 15.
They may be purchased from a
booth on the first floor of Sam-ford
Hall.
If weather permits, the Graff
Ballet will be presented in the
Amphitheater. Two performances
of the Ballet will be given in
Langdon Hall, one at 3:15 P. M.
and the other at 8:15 P. M., in
case the weather does not permit
its presentation in the Amphitheater.
The other attractions
will appear in the Alumni Gymnasium
with the exception of Alfred
Noyes, who will speak in
Langdon Hall.
i Opera in Miniature
With all the refinements of
phrasing and acting that characterize
the best traditions of
America opera singing, Opera in
Miniature presents four highly
talented and v e r y attractive
young American singers in the
principal scenes from three of the
world's most popular operas.
Opera in Miniature features El-wyn
Carter, baritone; Virginia
Kendrick, contralto; Marie Mon-tain,
soprano, and W i 11 a r d
Young, tenor, in scenes from
"Faust," "Martha," and "Carmen."
Wearing the same colorful and
picturesque costumes that the
parts call for in a full-scale production,

the mocking emptiness of superficial
present-day creeds and emphasizes
the enduring qualities of
those values so often expressed in
the classics of the various arts.
Dr. Noyes was born and educated
in England. After four
years at Oxford University he
began his literary career with the
publication of poem's in various
leading journals.
Repeated Nazi bombardments
of his home on the Isle of Wight
brought Dr. Noyes, his wife and
their three children into temporary
exile in Canada at the latter
part of the summer of 1940.
He has given courses at Princeton
and the California Institute of
Technology, but most of his time
is divided between writing and
lecturing. Among the many vol-entation,
the stirring, thrilling j «mes of Alfred Noyes' verse are
flavor of grand opera.
Alfred Noyes
Alfred Noyes, the dstinguished
English poet, today ranks high
among those defending aesthetic
and religious values against the
competing doctrines of materialistic
philosophies. In writings and
lectures he repeatedly lays bare
"The Golden Hynde," "Sherwood",
and "The Torch Bearers."
His most recent books include
"Shadows on the Down and
Other Poems" and "If Judgment
Comes."

H. R. Knickerbocker, world-famous
foreign correspondent
and Pulitizer Prize winner has
the only piano-team to present
a full evening's program of original
transcriptions. Free to transcribe
what they please, their
repertoire is widely varied and in
some cases very advanced.
Both men, in spite of their
classical training, are very enthusiastic
about swing-music. The
two pianists do not believe in being
disrespectful of popular music.
They point out that inasmuch
as gigs and waltzes were made

war.
The outbreak of the war in 1939
found Mr. Knickerbocker in Paris
and ever since he has been following
its latest developments
around the globe—in Australia,
New Guinea, Java, England,
Egypt, and Russia.
Born in Yoakum, Texas, the
son of a Methodist minister, Mr.
Knickerbocker wanted to be a
physician, a psychiatrist. After
study at Southern Methodist University
and the Texas Agricultural
and Mechanical College, he
came to New York and took a
course at the Columbia University
of Journalism because newspaper
work would pay for his
medical studies. After a succession
of jobs on various New York
newspapers, including the N. Y.
Post and the N. Y. Sun, he sailed
for Europe and medical study,
but Hitler's abortive Beer House
Putsch in 1923 put an end to his
studies at the University of Munich
and launched him upon what
has become one of the most colorful
careers in the annals of modern
journalism.
Fray and Braggiotti
The internationally famous
piano duo of Jacques Fray and
Mario Braggiotti was formed in
Paris 14 years ago. These two
pioneers of the music-world duo-pianists
are the first and as yet
the symphonies of tomorrow.
They were the first to give
popular music the significance of
a concert-hall performance in
their debut at the Salle Plevel in
Paris, in 1928, and in a lecture-recital
at the Sorbonne University
the same year. They created
a popular demand among American
radio-listeners for the one-wftri

Football Sidelines
By JOHN HARVEY THOMAS
Playing in a downpour of rain before twenty thousand
fans, ten thousand of whom were present, the other ten who
had been to college before and had presence of mind enough
to hibernate, the valiant Auburn Plainsmen went down before
a "brainy" Tech Yellow Jacket to the tune of 15-0.
The game actually wasn't as bad as the score indicated,
for this corner is of the opinion that Auburn played under a
terrific handicap—a muddy field, too much Prokop and Cas-tleberry.
These two youngsters, one a sophomore and the other a
freshman, combined their football talents of running and
passing to completely baffle the Auburn fore and rear works.
Several times Clint Castleberry broke around our flanks for
substantial gains that completely caught our boys unawares.
Prokop's slingshot arm eventually accounted for both of
Tech's touchdowns. Early in the second quarter he unleashed
a mighty heave that was gobbled up by McHugh over the
Auburn goal line.
Then again, with less than a minute to play, Prokop
passed to McHugh who was knocked out of bounds on the Auburn
one foot line. On the next play Prokop smashed over
for the second touchdown. A safety was registered against
the Plainsmen in the third quarter when Auburn took the
ball over after having held Tech on the Tiger goal line for
three downs. When Gafford attempted to punt out, Helms
broke through and blocked his kick—the oval skidded out of
the end zone.
* * *
Of one thing you may be sure, Auburn hasn't faced a five
man line in quite some time, and when Tech showed a five
man defense, the Auburn forwards continually missed their
blocking assignments, but they did learn a lesson—that you
have to be prepared to face almost any kind of line in modern
football. *
* * *
Auburn had its stars too, in Jim Reynolds and Monk Gafford,
who, in spite of the weather conditions, were able to
reel off some nice gains themselves. Jack Cornelius and Jim
McClurkin were the outstanding defensive stars for the
Plainsmen, as each made more than his share of the tackles.
* * *
Monday afternoon Coach Meagher had the squad gathered
around him on bended knee and with a few short appraisals
he gave the boys this word of consolation, "Even the best of
teams are defeated now and then and sometimes it does a
team lots of good to take a beating, but if you should win all
the rest of the games this season you would be the greatest
team in the United States. Don't be disappointed too much
about what happened last Saturday. Tulane lies before us;
the rest is up to you."
* * *
Curtis Kuykendall was the only casualty as the squad
went through its Monday afternoon practice session. Kuykendall
watched the drill from the sidelines with his arm in
a sling, due to a shoulder injury sustained in the Tech fracas.
Trainer Wilbur Hutsell states that Kuykendall probably will
not play against Tulane this next Saturday. Curtis predicts
otherwise, and we hope he's right!
"Moontide" Plays at Tiger
Theater Wednesday, Thursday
A dynamic new personality has
come to the screen in the person
of Jean Gabin, whose first American
picture, "Moontide," comes to
the Tiger Theatre on Wednesday.
Long a French star, Gabin won
the praise of movie critics with
his expert portrayals in such
French pictures as "Pepe Le Mo-ko,"
"Grand Illusion" and "Port
of Shadows." American motion
picture companies offered him
fabulous sums to come to Hollywood
and make a picture, but
they were met with refusals.
However, when Paris fell to
the Nazi hordes, Gabin was forced
into exile, and came to the motion
picture capital. 20th Century-Fox

Igor Gorin
Igor Gorin, the widely acclaimed
"prince of Baritones," began
studying for his career at the
Vienna Conservatory of Music.
His parents, who strongly disapproved
their son's plans to become
a "professional entertainer,"
refused young Igor any financial
aid for his singing studies and he
was obliged to earn his way
through the Conservatory by doing
odd jobs.
Mr. Gorin has made many appearances
over the air on such
programs as the Ford Sunday
Evening Symphony, The Treasury
Hour, Hollywood Hotel, and the
Kraft Music Hall.
He is a composer as well as a
singer and is a member of The
American Society of Composers,
Authors, and Publishers. Some of
the songs he composed are "Lullaby,"
Within My Dreams," "Caucasian
Melody," "Lament" and
"Safe By De Lawd."
A native of the Ukraine, Mr.
Gorin scored his first operatic
success in Czechoslovakia.
Biart Symphonietla
A complete miniature symphony
orchestra, the Biart Sym-phonietta
for the past ten years
has been one of the leading
"small" symphony ensembles. Directed
by Victor Briart, the Sym-phonietta
has performed regularly
in the east and has developed
a repertoire which includes not
only the larger works of the masters,
but many special transcriptions
of chamber music.
Composed of top-flight musicians,
many of whom play in
leading New York symphony orchestras,
the Biart Symphonietta
plays with all the color and effectiveness
of a larger group.
Before he organized the Symphonietta,
Mr. Biart was well-known
as a concert pianist, a
teacher of music, a lecturer on
music, and as author of a series of
articles on the great master of
music appearing in the "Etude."

Her material is adroitly ordered,
swift in its exposition, and

In addition to a full life on the

expression in two other channels.
Her voice has been a high spot in
a number of important radio programs
during the past several
seasons and her amusing commentaries
on certain vagaries of
our daily life appear frequently
in The New Yorker and other

Gafford, Ferrell, McClurkin, Pharr And
Captain Costellos Star and Fight for Auburn
Flashing two of the best backs seen in these hills for some
time, the engineers of Ga. Tech opened their 1942 grid slate
by downing the Tigers from Auburn by a margin of 15-0.
Freshman Clint Castleberry, former Boys High star, teamed
with Sophomore Eddie Prokop to take part of the roar out of
the Auburn Tigers. Bad weather conditions held the crowd
to some ten thousand fans who braved the rain to see the tilt.
Coach Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech expressed much
satisfaction at the showing of his
team's defense, a factor that looked
very bad in Tech's early practice
sessions. Prokop's sure fire
passes, Castleberry's wide end
runs, and the kicking of Jimmy
Luck proved too much for Auburn.
For Auburn little Monk Gafford
played a bang up game, charging
the fast moving Tech line time
and time again. In the line Jack
Ferrell, Vic Costellos and Jim McClurkin
played a fine brand of
ball. Captain Vic Costellos probably
played his best game for
Auburn as he led the defense
against the Tiger goal several
times.
Georgia Tech drew early blood
when Eddie Prokop, 190 pounder
from Cleveland, Ohio went into
the game. Prokop led a drive that
went 77 yards for the first marker
of the game. Plaster's try for
the extra point was wide. Auburn
drove deep in the territory of the
Georgians early in second period;
but lost out when Harkins fumbled
on the Tech eight yard
marker. In the fourth period the
Tigers penetrated to the Tech 18
but were stopped by a stout
Engineer defense.
In the first down column, Tech
compiled 31 first downs as to six
for the Plainsman, however this
does not indicate how evently
the two teams were matched. On
several occasions Auburn looked
far the superior ball club. Perhaps
the difference between the
two elevens might be charged to
Castleberry and Prokop, both of
which made Tech very proud
they were on their side.
Game Of Long Punts
In the kicking department, Harkins
and Gafford put Auburn on
the map as they boomed several
long kicks down the green. Luck
and McHugh did the foot work
for the Georgia eleven and did a
fine job. Tech scored a safety
early in the third period when,
after being held for downs, they
rushed in to Block Gafford's kick
in the shadow of his own goal.
"Our boys played good ball but
had some tough breaks", commented
Coach Jack Meagher after
the game. Meagher was loud in
his praise of the Tech aggregation
and for their freshman star Clint
Castleberry.
Great Mud Battle
For a great part, the game
might be classified as a game of
mud. If so, Tech proved the better
mudder as they handled the
slippery ball with great accuracy.
Auburn could not get its pass offense
clicking as the Georgia
boys downed and intercepted
practically all the Tiger aerials.
Rain came down most of the game
and made the handling of the
ball a headache for all involved.
Center "Mutt" Manning played a
fine brand of ball in his line-backer-
up spot.
Tulane Next
Fresh from a Pacific Coast victory,
the green wave of Tulane
will be the next opponent for the
Tigers. Tulane rounded out a 27-
13 decision over the Californians
and will show Auburn plenty of
power. This should prove one of
the headliners in the Southeastern
Conference for this week.
