Science and Literature, polled 34
of the 106 votes cast. She is from
Fairfield.
The other three candidates
followed close behind each other.
Ann McClurkin received 25 votes,

According to Mildred Brown
Davis, WSGA president, a great­er
percentage of freshmen wom­en
voted this year than last. Al­most
fifty per cent of those en­rolled
voted in this year's elec­tion
which is much higher than
the percentage for last year.

"Macbeth" Will
Begin Run On
November 2
By SHIRLEY SMITH
For the first time in their his~-
tory, the Auburn Players are go­ing
to give a play in the Y-Hut.
"Macbeth"' is the forthcoming
production, and it will begin a
two-week run on Monday night,
November 2. To those who have
seen the inside of the Y-Hut, this
idea will seem absurd, for they
know that at first glance this old
building appears no larger than a
classroom with a stage at one end.
[The Players, however, intend to

Pi Kappa Phis and ATOs Are
Impressive in Football Wins
By BILLY HILL
The Pi Kappa Phis and ATOs
were the victors in yesterday's
football games, scoring their third
and second wins, respectively.
Pi Kappa Phi 20—Pi Kappa
Alpha 0
The Pi Kappa Phis went into
undisputed leadership in their
league as a result of their 20-0 de­feat
of- the PiKAs yesterday. They
took a commanding lead in the
game on the first kickoff, for as
they kicked to the PiKAs, much
to everyone's surprise, the PiKAs
made no attempt to cover the
ball, and Clanton, Pi Kappa Phi
guard, fell on the ball in the end
zone for the first score.
In the second period* the Pi
Kappa Phis netted two more
points as Porter was touched by
Henderson in the end zone for a
safety. The PiKAs even fell for
the old "layout pass" as Fain
tossed one to Ogletree in the third
period and Ogletree carried it to
the third. The same combination
was good for this score.
The final tally came late in the
last quarter when Butt of the Pi
Kappa Phis intercepted Stahnke's
pass on the 40 and ran the en­tire
distance for the score. Porter
and Gaylor looked good for the
PiKAs with their passing and
pass interceptions. The Pi Kappa
Phis had a host of outstanding
men and no department of play
was lacking. Fain was a stand­out
of the game as he passed,
punted, and ran with equal skill.
ATO 14—Alpha Psi 0
The ATOs made it two straight
wins ^as they downed the Alpha
Psis by two touchdowns and 14-0
score. Tiie ATOs scored in both
the first and second periods. Their
I first touchdown came on a short
pass from tailback Brinson to
Jack Bently who was waiting in
the end zone. The extra point

NOTHING UKE A GOOD W O K STEAK "Chief" H a $ t h e A^bum Spirit!
By BRUCE MARTIN
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. .
We don't usually repeat "two
little moron" jokes, but we want
to make an exception in this case.
The reason for the exception fol­lows
the telling.
* * *
The two little morons started
to get on a street car. The first
dropped his nickle in the till. The
second just walked on by with­out
paying. When queried, he re­plied,
"My name is Crime, and
Crime Doesn't Pay."
* * *
Now the hitch is this: Why, for
the purposes of the joke, was the
first one a moron at all? Surely,
some people who aren't morons
pay as they get on street cars.
* * *
For the twenty-five best ans­wers
to this problem we will
award prizes consisting of gen­uine
deckle-edged, ball-bearing
glummergirks in the ever popu­lar
antique rolled-gold finish.
* * »
A glummergirk, as you prob­ably
already know, is an almost
round hole, surrounded by noth­ing,
and having a void in the
center. It is used to throttle any­one
who attempts to tell a "two
little moron" joke.
* * *
And speaking of morons, one
presented us with a problem: If
today were tomorrow, what would
tomorrow be today?
day. And if tomorrow comes be­fore
today, then yesterday must
come after today. That would
make yesterday come tomorrow.
Then tomorrow would be yester­day.
However, that can't be,
'cause yesterday was today.
* * *
Maybe we should just go back
to the original question and start
over. Without attempting to ex­plain
our answer or telling how
we went about arriving at it, we'll
just state that after due delibera­tion
we have decided that the
answer is undoubtedly yes..
* • *
In front of the dormitories, a
new plan is being tried. For years,
there have been futile efforts to
cause the average Auburn (Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute) stu­dent
to prefer the walks to the
grass when walking about the
campus. The most successful plan
to date was practiced in front of
Ross, where * the walks were
placed so close together that only
a William Tell could miss 'em.
But the school has even a few
William Tells.
* * * /
And now, at last, the master
stroke! The place was smoothed
off and left reasonably soft. The
students were allowed to walk at
will. Where they walked they left
.their mark. The marks will now
be paved. Presto and Abracad­abra!

Town and Campus
By LEONARD HOOPER
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.
I urge everyone to turn out for
the Senior Class Project skit
nights, next Wednesday and
Thursday. Besides the excellent
skits, on which all the fraternities
and sororities are working very
hard, the program features the
Auburn Knights on both nights
at intermission and, on Thursday
night, the ODK-Glomerata beau­ties
for this year will be intro­duced
to the public for the first
time.
All the entertainers, everyone
who appears on the program,
everyone who enters Langdon
Hall on those two nights will pay
the twenty-five cent admission
charge, which will go to the funds
for the senior class project.
Last year, there was almost a
joke about the fish pool which
was supposed to have been built
with the proceeds from Skit
Night. A fish pool was to have
been erected at the intersection
of the sidewalks between Sam-ford,
Ross, the Gym and the lib­rary,
but the class decided to put

the money into war bonds in­stead,
so that the funds would be
beneficial in two ways at once.^
The memorial to the class of '42
•will be built in "194-X", after
the war is over. This year's grad­uating
class decided on their
farewell project last Wednesday
in a meeting at Langdon Hall.
By the way, the skits should
be doubly good this year, since
for the first time, the sororities
will join in the fun and present
skits along with the fraternities.
This has prolonged the program
so that it has been designed to
be shown at two sittings, which
is a definite advantage over last
year's lengthy presentation. Long
as this program was, there were
two or three fraternities who
could not present their shows, due
to unforeseen difficulties.
This year, the different lodges
are all busy planning programs
' which, I understand, will be even
more satiric and interesting take-offs
on faculty and campus lead­ers
than those of last year. The
administration, students, towns­people,
and professors all come in
for a terrific ribbing.
1942's prizewinners were: the
A T O skit, "Korksapoppin' ",
which was a variety show, a take
off on Olsen and Johnson's "Hell-sapoppin'".
The skit featured au­dience
hecklers, cake race win­ners,
a stadium scene, and various
other mayhem c o m m i t t ed
throughout the entire hall. TEP
was second with another episode
of the same type: one actor tried
to read "Romeo and Juliet" to
the breathless audience, but he
was bothered by various inter­ruptions
including people seek­ing
directions, a violent murder
scene which surged back and
forth across the stage, and a
"cha'acter" who believed that he
was a butterfly. Alpha Psi took
third place with a skit full of hi­larious
imitations: one actor did
animal noises, another did an up­roarious
version of "Professor
Eaton in the Classroom," and the
final actor summarized the en­tire
boisterous show by observ­ing
"Well, if everybody else can
make one out of himself, so can
I! Hee-haw,hee-haw,hee-haw!"
Come on out both nights next
week for a real good time! .
Conventions Will Make You Think . . .Afraid To?
This week end will be crowded with activities on the Auburn
campus. Two dances, two football games, picture shows, picnics and
hayrides and two student church conventions.
There is no need to say much about the games and other forms
of entertainment that are provided for the students over the week
end, but perhaps we could say something about the student conven­tions
that are tojie held here this week end.
It is seldom that this campus gets one such convention, much less
two at the same time. Auburn is noted for its friendliness and perhaps
this is one reason for them having their gatherings here.
But, there is something more important than this about the con­ventions.
It is nice for them to come to Auburn and see us, but we
will probably get more out of having them here if we will go to see
them. Some of the most outstanding speakers in the state, south, and
world will be on hand to speak to the students.
And we do mean speak. A convention of this type is not one big
session where a "bunch of preachers get together and try to tell stu­dents
how to live their way. Instead these speakers understand stu­dents
and especially college students. They talk their language. The
talks that they make give the students something to think about.
Fashion Footlights
By MAVIS WIDNEY
Auburn's extra-curricular activities capture attention this fall and
spot-light the beloved date-frock. The bright galaxy of shades n' ma­terials
rate the street-length dresses 'way up with formal chicness.
Sparkling ideas . . . sequins that glitter and twinkling jet, superbly
detail the. simple dresses; peplums and tucks keep that "superfemi-nine"
effect. Sheer wools, rayon crepe woven, and jersey, the favorite,
are main attractions for the autumn wardrobe. Velveteen plus wool
combine to offer the two-textured creation s-o-o slimming to lassies.
* * *
Bright-as-pennies: Virginia Smith's plaid dirndl skirt, scrumptious
pockets for convenience; Faye Wideberg classward bound wearing a
lavender slip-over; Catherine Lewis' maroon skirt with green, blue,
stripes plaiding it all; making rhat early morning class, Jane Gate-wood
in a pastel blue skirt with gores stitched in beige; that pretty
skirt worn by Jessie Sahm, pale blue background twirled in soft
colors.
* ' * •
About town: Jo-Anne Cousins welcoming the team attired in a
smart brown jersey-silk frock trimmed in bright designs at the yoke;
Laverne Sims' chocolate-brown crepe dress appliqued with two vivid
birds; Jean Hoffman's blonde attractiveness accented by her black
date-dress; Barbara French sipping sodas wearing a frill snow-white
blouse 'neath her smart jumper; "dashing as an equestrienne" was
Kathleen Mac Namee's chapeau . . . a chic tan derby. Mildred Whit-lock's
rich brown velveteen dress complimented by a cream lace
collar.
* » *
Lapels lasso limelight: The petite golden pair of scissors Grace
Ward wears on a chain; Imogene Ryan's little gay, fuzzy skunk worn
on the lapel; strike up the band with Frances Baldwin's tiny ma­jorette
pin.
* * *
Coats come to college: Annie Lee Jones' bright top-coat, plaid in
yellow n' blue; Margaret Ruth's protection against the north wind,
a natural-colored coat faced with br'illant green; strolling to class,
Katherine Wright wearing a swagger-coat of yellow, blue, and brown
squares. Have you seen: Hats-off to roommates Dot Woodall and
Imogene Bennett for their clever substitute of the century-old "Busy-
Studying" sign. Their sign, so expressive, is a portrait (drawn by
Dottie) of a demure co-ed surrounded by books.
His real name is Mr. Roland L. Shine.
Right now you are probably saying that
you do not know this person. But the odds
are two to one that you do. For you prob­ably
address him, as so many of his close
friends among the Auburn student body
do, as just plain "Chief."
"Chief" hasn't lived in Auburn so long,
but he's nevertheless a genuine supporter
of anything which boosts the stock of Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute. There was not
much doubt of the truth in the above state­ment
last Sunday morning. For "Chief"
had all eight of his u-drive-its lined up at
the railroad station. These cars were used
to take the members of the Plainsman
squad home after their victorious arrival
and reception.
We think that it was mighty thoughtful
and generous of "Chief" to donate the use
of his automobiles for this purpose. Let's
have a little more Auburn spirit of this
type! B- T.
Do Not Listen to War Talk with Deaf Ear
That college students are as a whole un­able
to participate in the buying of war
bonds has been accepted as a general fact,
and there seems to be little that we can
do about the matter. However, we should
not turn a deaf ear and a shrug to the
pleas for more money to finance this war.
Consider yourself a citizen, or perhaps
better, a survivor of any European country
today. If a servant of the Axis powers, you
aren't demanded to contribute ten per
cent. Neither do they take thirty or fifty
per cent. Instead, all is taken, and if you
are lucky you are.returned ten percent—
in the form of bare necessities. Of the con­quered
countries not even this can be said.
Our government advertises bonds for
sale; pleads with the citizens to place only
ten per cent in war bonds, bonds that are
as safe as our country, and bonds that will
make our country safe. The money we use
for purchasing war bonds is not gone for­ever.
We are paid to buy them.
Still we dilly-dally along, promising to
buy—tomorrow. No one forces us; no one
asks us if we are buying. Yet that is a de­mocracy.
We are fighting to see if that de­mocracy
might live. The issue to be set­tled
by this titanic struggle vitally affects
the democratic way of life. Is a country,
ruled by its inhabitants and governed by
the whims of the common masses, strong­er
than a country ruled by one person who
possesses supreme power, and directs as
he sees fit the entire resources of that
country? *
Can we compete with a nation whose
supreme master considers, not the welfare
of his people, but thinks and acts only in
accord with his vicious lust for more pow­er?
"Unscrupulous" is hardly appropriate
for describing this warped and cunning
person. The conquest of the democracies
would only add more fuel to his flaming
lust, and the atrocities he is capable of com­mitting
have been well demonstrated in
his other conquests. The deeds character­izing
the nature of his allies have also re­ceived
notice.
Can the resources of this nation be or­ganized
by its peace-loving and pleasure-minded
inhabitants in time to triumph
over the grim, purposeful, and formidable
foe it faces? Your contributions in scrap
and war bonds wili help establish an af­firmative
reply. R- S.
All These Lab Fees and No Labs
Recently there have been quite a few
complaints, from those now taking the
course, regarding the retention of machine
shop fees. The fees, $2.00 for the one hour
course, they claim, have not been refund­ed
since the change that affected the
course at the start of the present quarter.
Previous to the start of the Fall Quarter,
machine shop consisted of one three hour
lab period each week, during which those
taking the subject had access to various
lathes, grinders and other equipment be­longing
to the school. Naturally, the wear
and tear on the equipment made it neces­sary
that some fee be assessed for their
maintenance; this fee was $2.00. At the
start of the quarter, however, lack of the
necessary facilities caused the course to
be changed from a three hour lab to a one
hour lecture, still meeting once a week
and, several students have complained,
still requiring the same fee. Now, since
the use of no school equipment is em­ployed,
the complaint has been that it is
unfair to charge students for that which
they are not using.
Of course, there may be several good
reasons for the holding of these fees, but
those reasons are as yet not known to
many of the boys in the machine shop
classes. Perhaps some explanation is due.

Skit Nights to Feature "Real Talent"
We believe that everyone-who was pre­sent
at last year's original edition of Inter-fraternity
Skit Night will be back for more
next week. Plenty of laughs, excitement,
and music were featured in the first pres­entation
of this sort ever to be given at Au­burn,
and the audience was-having equally
as wonderful a time as were the unortho­dox
preformers themselves.
It seems that ALL fraternities and soror­ities
plan "to take part this time. That is
good. For there was not one hundred per
cent participation last year, and this fact
prevented the zany affair from being quite
the success it could have been.
No holds are barred (within reasonable
limits) on next Wednesday and Thursday
nights, and we don't believe that there will
be many punches pulled either.
By the way, the most important point
concerning this evening of cockeyed en­tertainment
is its beneficiary. He's that
same ole uncle who's done so much for us
in the past and who needs OUR help
now. B- T.

How YOU can help her
speed vital war calls
WHEN you're about to telephone, remember that
the wires—especially Long Distance circuits—are
busier than ever before, with war calls. We can't build
new equipment to carry the load because the materials
we need are going into ships and planes and shells.
Here's how you can help to keep the lines open for
war calls. Unless your message is really urgent, please
don't use Long Distance service. But if you must,
please make your calls as short as you can.

MUSICAL TESTER
INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL
ADOPTS NEW DANCE PLAN
Resolution Passed by Council Must Be
Approved by Students and College Next
At the regular monthly meeting of the A u b u r n Inter-f
r a t e r n i t y Council Monday night the group voted almost
unanimously to assume responsibility of the school dances
following the complete dissolution of t h e Social Committee.
The resolution concerning this motion follows:
WHEREAS, the I n t e r f r a t e r n i t y Council of t h e Alabama
Polytechnic Institute realizes that if successful dances are
to be held at the Alabama Polytechnic I n s t i t u t e it is advis­able
for the Interfraternity Coun­cil
to provide for them, and,
WHEREAS, it appears to the
Interfraternity Council that due
to the lack of finances it has
been impossible to secure the
orchestras for such dances that,
are necessary for the success of
such dances at the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, and,
WHEREAS, it is the earnest
desire of the Interfraternity
Council to promote the set dances
at the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it re­solved
by the Interfraternity
Council of the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute, in view of the com­plete
dissolution of the Social
Committee, that the Homecom­ing
dances, 1942, be sponsored by
this council. The funds for these
dances are to be raised from
members of each fraternity and
from the campus at large. Two
months prior to these dances the
said students are to pledge five
dollars plus tax in exchange for
o n e set .ticket (transferable).
Editor's note: This resolu­tion
was formed and adopted
by the Interfraternity Council
because of the possible dissolu­tion
of the present Student
Social Committee. This plan
was conceived to prevent the
the total absence of "name"
bands appearing on the Au­burn
campus. It was adopted in
the form printed here. Chang­es
can be made and perhaps
will be made by the college or
at the next meeting of the In­terfraternity
Council.
These pledges of the fraternity
members are to be filed at the
regular meeting of the council
in October. For three days of the
Z>K..cJOHN Q, WGTtS/HS
following week the campus at
large will be given opportunity
to make their pledge. After the
three day period for the campus
at large, no set tickets will be
sold, single tickets only will be
available at the door. The profits
are to be placed in a dance fund
to be used by the Interfraternity
Council as a fund for future
dances.
For dances subsequent to the
Homecoming dances, 1942, the

Musical Skill
Is Measured By
Dr. Watkins
API Psychology
Teacher Writes
Book on Tests
The ability and skill of stu­dents
learning to play musical
instruments can be measured ob­jectively
with a series of stand­ardized
tests, according to Dr.
John Goodrich Watkins, Ph. D.,
professor of education' and teacher
of psychology at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, in his re­cent
book entitled "Objective
Measurement of Instrumental
Performances." '
The dissertation was originally
written as a partial requirement
for a Ph. D. degree at the Co­lumbia
University and a portion
of it is devoted to explaining the
construction of tests required in
measuring musical performance.
In his book, Dr. Watkins pre­sents
the results of a study on the
achievements of a group of stu­dents
learning to play the cornet.
These were measured by a set of
standardized tests which he vali­dated
by modern psychometric
methods.
"When a student first begins to
study how to play a musical in­strument
his performance at first
sight is almost equal to perform­ance
after practicing the same
music. With increasing periods of
study up to two years the dif­ference
between sight perform­ance
and practiced performance
becomes greater," he writes. "Af­ter
two years the rate of prog­ress
appears to be about the same
in both sight and practiced per­formances.
"Music teachers can use objec­tive
tests to compare the rate of
progress on individual pupils. By
these tests they can also set up
standards of difficulty in the mu­sic
studied and thus avoid giv­ing
the pupils music too difficult
for them to learn at that time,"
the professor said.
Dr. Watkins is also the author
of an article, "Offensive Psycho­logical
Warfare" and has several
other articles scheduled for pub­lication
at an early date in the
"Journal of Higher Education"
and the "Journal of Educational
Research."
ing paragraph shall be used in

We think that this community is definitely in need of a
war council or committee with a systematic organization that
could efficiently handle not only the scrap situation, the war
chest and bond drives, but also any other call that may come
from the Government. Further, we believe that to do this job
right and to give all us John Does a chance to do our bit, we
feel that this council should consist of the following:
A representative of city officials
A representative of the college
A representative of the college students
A representative of each club (Rotarian, Kiwanis, Lion
etc)
A rapresentative of the senior and junior Chamber of
Commerce
The leader of the Girl Scouts
The leader of the Boys Scouts
The leader of the Motor Corps
A representative of each church
A representative of the women's clubs
A representative of the Army
A representative of the Navy
We might have missed some organized body of citizens,
but the above gives the idea. A meeting, election of a leader
for the entire war work, pledging one hundred percent cooper­ation
to that leader, and then some capable planning that
would give us all some assignment, or place us in a standby
status for an assignment when needed, and thus we would
have a permanent organization that could handle the situa­tions
as they arise.

We are quoting below a letter, written by a boy in the
Service of his country before he made the final and highest
sacrifice. It is the knowledge that there is a future ahead of
us in which thousands of such boys who still must be sacri­ficed,
that makes us all want some job, however small, that
we can feel that we are doing what we can to get this horrible
war over:
"Dearest Mother: Though I feel no premonition at all,
events are moving rapidly, and I have directed that this letter
be forwarded to you should I fail to return from one of the
raids which we shall shortly be called upon to undertake. You
must hope on for a month, but at the end of that time you
must accept the fact that I have handed my task over to the
extremely capable hands of my comrades as so many splendid
fellows have already done.
"Though it will be difficult for you, you will disappoint
me if you do not at least try to accept the facts dispassionately,
for I shall have done my duty to the utmost of my ability. No
man could have done more, and no one calling himself a man
could do less.
"I have always admired your amazing courage in the face
of continual setbacks; in the way you have given me as good
an education and backgrown as anyone in the country, and
always kept up appearance without ever losing faith in the
future.
"My death would not mean that your struggle has been in
vain. Far from it. It means that your sacrifice is as great as
mine.
"Today we are faced with the greatest organized challenge
to Christianity and civilization that the world has ever kno,wn,
and I count myself honored to be the right age and fully
trained to throw my full weight into the scale. For this I have
to thank you.
"Yet there is more work for you to do. The home front
will still have to stand united for years after the war is won.
"You must not grieve for me, for you believe in religion
and all that it entails. I have no fear of death. I would have it
no other way. The universe is so vast and ageless that the
life of one man can only be justified by the measure of his
sacrifice, and I feel like the martyrs of old.
"We are sent to the world to acquire a personality and a
character to take with us that can never be taken from us.
"I firmly and absolutely believe that- evil things are per­mitted
in this world to try us, to test our mettle, because God
knows what is good for us. The Bible is full of cases where
the easy way out has been discarded for moral principals.
"I consider my character fully developed. Thus at my
early age, my earthly mission is already fulfilled, and I am
prepared to die, with just one regret, and only that I could
not devote myself to making your declining years more
happy by being with you; but you will live in peace and
freedom, and I shall have directly contributed to that, so here
again, my life will not have been in vain. Your loving son,"

Thanks to Bryan G. Bond, one of our bluejackets, and the
Reverend J. P. McCarthy of Christ the King Church of Hous­ton,
Texas for this letter from a boy who in some way knew
that he was not coming back. May we be able to make sure of
that freedom and peace he wished to his Mother.

Former Sports Ed
Writes to Plains
Bill Martin, Last Year's Assistant Editor
On Sports Staff, Now Living in Virginia
By BILL MARTIN
Richmond, Virginia, September 12. This is an occasion
which we never thought would take place. We never thought
that when the time- for the fall quarter of school rolled
around, we would still be running around in Virginia instead
of hustling from class to class at the "Friendliest College."
But it has happened, and here we are writing this tidbit 750
miles from the "Plains."
Following the exploits of the Mighty Tigers, and, from all
advance notices available, they
PLAINSMEN WILL BE THE
"UNWELCOMED" GUESTS
will be highly respected this year,
and will be a little more difficult
this year than last, or the year
before. Probably the only chance
we will have to see the Orange
and Blue boys in action will be
when they take . on Georgetown
U. in Washington, D. C, on the
night of October 17. But you can
bet your bottom dollar that there
won't be two more ardent rooters
than Bill and Sara Frances (my
first assistant, as she was aptly
Rubbed by Hugh Fullerton in his
AP column last Spring) all dur­ing
the current season, from the
Chattanooga fray through the
Clemson brawl.
Ben Chapman in Virginia
Though Virginians knew that
there was such a state as Ala­bama
before this baseball season,
they are much more conscious of
the fact now. Why? Because of
Bearcat Ben Chapman, the Mont-gomeryian.
Chapman has made
himself and his native state quite
a bit more closely drawn to the
Old Dominion due to his diamond
capers as manager of the first di­vision
Richmond Baseball Colts
of the Piedmont League.
When the time came for the
opening of the Tobacco Circuit
season, it was the same old
"Cocky Ben," who has officiated
at so many basketball games at
Auburn, that took the field as
third baseman on a potentially
weak Richmond ball club. This
was the same showman Ben who
has traveled the majors for quite
a few years. Well, the Richmond
fans took a, disliking to the 'Cat
from the start and made up their
minds that he was not what they
had been looking for as a manager
for their Colts, and the Richmond
fans do love their baseball.
Paying no heed to the compara­tively
cold reception he received
at the start, Chapman continued
to lead the club in his own way,
filling in wherever he was need­ed
most, driving his boys on to
better things.
Ben, jiuring the course of the
season, played all outfield posts,
first, second and third base, and
took the mound for the first time
in his career when his hurling
staff was sorely in need of rest
from a gruelling string of double-headers.
And, to everyone's sur­prise,
won his first mound start
with a shutout performance. Since
the time of his first start, Ben
has been playing regularly at
third and in the outfield, plus
taking his turn on the hill fairly
often. His record, 6 wins and 2
losses, included 4 shutouts. His
.329 batting average ranked as
second in the league and was
topped only by one of his own
pupils, Luis Olma, a Puerto Ri-can,
who clouted the horsehide at
a .349 clip.
Needless to say, before the sea­son
was far gone, Ben Chapman
and his home state were very
high and respected in the estima­tion
of Virginians. It was said
about Chapman in the Sporting
News, a Spink Publication, that
he had won more games by fight
alone than had all the other man­agers
in the loop put together.
When Bearcat Ben was voted the
most valuable player on the Colt
team at the end of the season, it
was announced that he had con­sented
to return as manager next
year (in case pro baseball is oper­ating,
come next year) and the
deafening roar of the cheering
crowd attested to the fact that he
had won his place irF'the eyes of
Virginians.
Here we have taken up all this
space with talk about Ben Chap­man
and have not said one thing
that we had in our mind at the
start, but just to let you know
that we had Alabama and espe­cially
Auburn in our minds every
night we sat and watched the
Richmond Ball Club.
Here's thinking of Auburn as
we wait to watch the Tigers
trounce Georgetown on the 17th
of October. On to Washington!

'Gators Will Have To
Pull Some Fast
Tricks To Take Win
By JOHN H. THOMAS
The 'Gators from down Florida
have started smacking their
jowls for a taste of the Auburn
Plainsmen who will be unwel-comed
guests to the beautiful
University of Florida campus
Saturday night when the two
teams meet.
The Alligators, unimpressive in
their first two starts, will have to
pull quite a cordon of tricks if
they hope to catch the Tigers
now; for after handing Tulane
such a shellacking it would be
no wonder to see them spark
these 'Gators, that is if overcon-fidence
doesn't strike the Auburn
Camp.
Coach Tom Lieb has had to
build this year's team out of
what few veterans he had return­ing
from last year plus the sopho­mores
and freshmen. Florida's
success or failure next Saturday
night will be measured mostly by
the play of the veterans.
In the line, for example, the
pace will be set by "Oleo" Lee at
center, Floyd Koretsley at guard,
and Nick Klutka at end. Stan
Cory is the only "F" man among
the tackle candidates. There- are
two ends, Joe Graham and Harry
Piatt, and tw& guards, Bill Ra-born
and Watt McRae who have
earned one "F" and round out
the number of lettermen on the
line.
Quarterback Selected
Coach Lieb has definitely de­cided
that Bill Lajsko will play
quarterback. Latsko and four
other backs are the hub around
which the 'Gators obviously will
revolve their major offensive
hopes. Rounding out the quartet
are two fullbacks, Bill Vorry and
O'Neal Hill, a right halfback,
Fondren Mitchell and a left half,
Jack Jones.
Bill Corry, who did not play
last season because of an opera­tion,
seems to be in superb shape,
and will be counted on as the No.
1 leather-toter for the 'Gators.
Just how effective Florida will
be against Jack Meagher's Plains­men
remains to be seen and only
the score and play can decide
that issue. Auburn returned from
the Tulane conflict in the peak of
physical condition and they have
been scrimmaging hard all week
in preparation for the tilt in the
Orange State.
Team Looks Good
Ty Irby and Jim Reynolds,
those powerful, punching plung­ers,
have continued to look good
all this week with their "bull­like"
dashes through the varsity
reserve and freshmen lines. It is
amazing how two such men who
weigh only 185 pounds can pack
such a sting into their terrific
wallop, and if we had not seen it
with our own eyes in New Or­leans,
we would hardly believe
that they could have done so
much damage to that big Tulane
team.
Gafford and Harkins, who suf­fered
a cut over his left eye just
before the game last week end
and did not get to play, have been
standout performers themselves.
It seems that neither thinks that
the starting left-halfback slot is
definite as yet, and they are wag­ing
a merry battle to see who will
start against Florida. Gafford
holds a very slight edge at- the
present, but any shirking on his
part will immediately bring Har­kins
to step into his place.
Tiger Has "My
Sister Eileen1'
For Two Days
Rosalind Russell
And Brian Aherne
Star in Comedy
Based upon the uproarious
Broadway comedy of two Colum­bus,
Ohio, sisters battling for their
careers and their honor in the
jungles of Manhattan's Grenwich
Village, "My Sister Eileen" will
be the screen attraction Sunday
and Monday at the Tiger Theater.
The film, starring Rosalind Rus­sell,
Brian Aherne and Janet
Blair, is twice as lustrous as the
stage success, and twenty times
more hilarious . . . no mean rec­ord
for a motion picture whose
theatrical predecessor has con­vulsed
more than three million
theater-goers in more than two
solid years.
"My Sister Eileen," in stage
form, was written by Joseph
Fields and Jerome Chodorov, who
based their hectic, hilarious and
tremendously appealing charac­ters
upon Ruth McKenney's mag­azine
story sketches. Fields and
Chodorov also penned the screen
version, retaining much of the
original play but placing more
stress upon the romance between
would-be writer Ruth Sherwood
and the magazine editor who
constantly comes to- her rescue.
They have also contrived a de­lightful
sequence showing Ruth
and her sister Eileen in their na­tive
Columbus, prior to their New
York hegira.
Ruth and Eileen Sherwood
come to New York for fame and
fortune; Ruth wants to be an
author, the eye-filling Eileen
dreams of a stage career. They
wind up in a basement apart­ment,
whose big curtainless win­dow
at pavement.level lets in the
noise, the rowdies, the dogs and
the cats and all the other gusty
excitement of the Village. A lock-less
door lets in everybody else—
including a "clairvoyant" who
formerly did business at that ad­dress,
a professional football
player (unemployed) fleeing from
his mother-in-law, a drug store
manager who buys Eileen her
lunch, a magazine editor who
buys Ruth's stories, a Cossack
night club doorman, and sundry
other characters, as well as six
members of the Portuguese mer­chant
marine who follow Ruth
home one night.

Football Sidelines
By JOHN HARVEY THOMAS
Plainsmen Head for Gainesville
As Auburn prepared to meet Florida tomorrow in Gaines­ville,
the team realized that for the first time this season,
they will be playing a spirited bunch of boys whose weight
will be approximately that of their own—a team that carries
several track stars on it—a team that doesn't give up—a team
that's young and eager, though lacking in experience. Speed,
skill, and the ability to outcharge the opponent will give to
one or the other the breaks that are common to the game.
Auburn realizes that they have been outweighted in the
first three tussles of the young season; and the squad has
gained valuable experience in handling big men, but when
the Plainsmen tackle the Gators tomorrow night, they know
full well we'll have to hustle, even if we are to win by a
single touchdown. More power, speed and whatever it takes
for you to win, Tigers! \
* * *
Football Injuries Almost Inevitable
Football just wouldn't be a man's game unless there were
injuries would it? And already Auburn has felt its blow. In
a recent scrimmage against the freshmen, McCoy Hewlett,
reserve quarterback, who has progressed rapidly as the sea­son
goes along, broke his left ankle in the skirmish and will
be lost to the Plainsmen for the rest of the season.
"Mc" lacked only varsity experience to make him a pol­ished
back. He had plenty of "fight" in him, power in his
legs, and a will to stay in there when the chips were down.
Well, "Mc", the chips are down now, and we're all for you.
Sorry it had to happen to you or anyone else.
* * *
Auburn Always Has Many Good Ends
Ever" since Porter Grant, now a Captain in the Army of
the U. S., became end coach here at Auburn, the Plainsmen
have always had a flock of good ends; and this year's no ex­ception.
It seems that "Coach Grant's" reputation still lingers
over the ends and they seem more eager than ever to give
all for 'ol Alma Mater. With the first team, there's Billy Bar­ton,
Clarence Grimmett, and Carl Fletcher, who has been
alternating with Barton since the Tulane affair. Then on the
second string there's Canzoneri and Trapani, with Burton,
Howell, Stephens, and Simms pushing them all the way.
On the defense, Fletcher, Trapani, Grimmett, and Canzoneri
have proven their worth; while at pass-catching, Canzoneri,
Burton, and Barton have the stickest fingers.
Among this group are three seniors, three juniors, two
sophomores and one freshman, which adds up to just this:
Auburn will -have good ends for years to come if we continue
to sponsor football teams that long.
* * *
Minnesota Beaten by Old Coach
Lt. Col. Bernie Bierman, coach of the Iowa pre-flight
school cadets returned home to his former school, Minnesota,
last Saturday, to play the team he had coached to national
fame for the past few years. The Minnesota Gophers hadn't
been beaten since 1939 before Col. Bierman took his Iowa
team up to display before the home folks, and his cadets
came off the field with a 7-6 victory under their belts. Sorta
embarassing, don't you think?
* *. * „
"Human Tanks" Take Punishment
As we watch the Tigers go thru their daily pace we notice
a certain group of players who seem to be getting the worse of
the scrimmaging yet they always come back to take more
punishment,' smiling as only they can.
Day in and day out this group of players donned their grid­iron
toggery and trudged out onto the greensword, knowing
full well that their's is a life full of eventful happenings, as
far as football is concerned. If they don't keep on the alert
they may wake up on Coach Hutsell's training table, amazed
at the dizzy world about them, later to learn that some big
bruiser had clouted him on his blind side.
Every day this same group plays into those "Fightbacks"
or blocking pads that give them the appearance of "human
tanks", and do battle with the first and second team to get
their offense in shape for our games.
These boys are responsible for the way our boys show up
on Saturday. If they make it tough enough, Auburn makes
a good showing; if they are lenient, then Auburn doesn't look
so good. They face the battering that the offense offers with­out
a flinch. Occasionally one will get hurt, but he never
whimpers, he carries on in the spirit of keeping up the team's
morale. They're a big help towards building Auburn teams.
These boys live up like this each afternoon; Stephens and
Howell at ends; Willoughby and Bradshaw, tackles; Cren­shaw
and Thompson guards; Salsiccia, center; and Bar-ranieu,
quarter; Donahue and Hennel at halves; and Strick­land
or Lyons at full.
In our opinion, this'is our "All-American" reserves—cap­able
of matching any third or fourth team of any other squad
in the conference.
Plainsmen Invade Florida Saturday
Locals Seek Second
Confe rence Wiin
Meagher's Men To Show Speed and Power
In Game with Gators Saturday Night
By JIMMIE DAVIS
With one Southeastern Conference win under their belt,
the Plainsmen of Auburn are heading south for the second
straight week, this time to meet the Florida Gators. Florida
and Auburn are just even in the weight department. This
will mark the first meeting by the Tigers of a team of equal
weight. Since the Tulane game, many changes have been
made in the Tiger line-up. McCoy Hewlett, reserve quarter­back,
has suffered a broken leg and will probably be out for
the season. After turning in an
excellent performance against
Tulane, Carl Fletcher, 177 pound
end from Gadsden, will probably
run with the first team. Fletcher
has been coming along nicely and
seems ready for real action.
Coach Meagher says the boys
will play the same type of ball
that delivered the 27-13 verdict
over the Tulane Green Wave. In­tensive
pass defense has been
stressed all week and the boys
should be on their toes against
the Gator aerials. Curt Kuyken-dall,
Clarence Harkins and Babe
Gendusa all of whom have been
out with injuries will be ready for
action come Saturday.
Down Florida way, Coach Tom
Lieb has whipped together a
fighting eleven that will be hard
to beat. The Gators rounded out
a 26-6 decision over Tampa in
last week's game.
From practice indications, the
Tigers will.take to the air in the
Florida encounter. Monk Gafford,
who threw strike after strike in
the Tulane battle, will be on hand
to do.the tossing with Aubrey
Clayton, Clarence Grimmett, Carl
Fletcher and Billy Barton on the
receiving end. Those two blister­ing
fullbacks, Jim Reynolds and
Ty Irby, will do their best to de­stroy
the Florida line. Zac Jen­kins,
powerful kicker and a fine
pass receiver from West Point,
Georgia, will probably see plen­ty
of action. Jenkins made his
varsity debut against Tulane and
made a creditable showing.
Brobable starting line-up for
Auburn will have Clarence Grim­mett
and Carl Fletcher at ends;
Joe Eddins and Jim McClurkin at
the tackle posts; Jack Cornelius,
one of the best guards in the
Southeastern Conference,- a nd
Captain Vic Costellos at guards;
Jim Pharr, center; Aubrey Clay­ton,
quarterback; Gafford and
Finney, halfbacks; and Jim Rey­nolds
or Ty Irby at the fullback
post.
WOMEN TAKE PART
IN VOLLEYBALL
The women's volleyball leagues
got off to a very fast start in the
past week with teams entered
from all the sororities as well as
from the womens' dormitories and
several town groups.
The Chi Omegas were boasting
of two wins and no defeats after
a week of play. They were suc­cessful
in defeating the POPs and
Susan Smith. The first series was
a two out of three games, but the
latter went to four games before
it ~was decided in favor of the_
Chi Os.
The Kappa Deltas were also in
the win column by the margin of
two victories and no losses. They
had defeated the Theta Upsilons
and Susan Smith, both in a series
of two out of three games.
The ADPis were the only other
sorority to have double wins and
no looses. Their victories came at
the expense of the POPs and
Theta Upsilon.
The Alpha Gamms had defeated
the girls of Theta Upsilon "in
straight games in their only con­test.
Delta Zeta also went down
in defeat at the hands of a team
composed of town girls.
All of the games have demon­strated
unusual vigor and stamina
of the part of the young lassies
who have participated. League
play will continue' for several
weeks before a winner is declared.
Besides the volleyball tourna­ment,
the womens' tennis tourna­ment
will begin shortly and all
entrances in the singles division
are due immediately in the physi­cal
education office in Alumni
Gym.

The past week's games, of in-terfraternity
football turned out
to be something out of the ordin­ary
when two games resulted in
scoreless ties and went to the ex­tra
period of play and another
was won by the slim margin of
one point. A brief game analysis
follows.
Delta Sigs 1—Theta Chis 0
The Delta Sigs increased their
string l)f wins to three against
no losses when they defeated the
Theta Chis by the slim margin of
1-0 after the game had entered
an extra period of play.
The Theta Chis featured the
passing of Ortagus and the run­ning
of Christian. Walsh, of the
Delta Sigs, seemed to be one of
the m o s t outstanding triple-threat
men of the season. He
passed, ran, and punted excep­tionally
well, to be the star of
the game. Califf, Delta Sig back,
also put on a nice performance of
passing and receiving.
In the extra period, the Delta
Sigs' made 30 yd. to their op­ponents
10. They made their yard­age
by means of nine yard run by
Califf, an eleven yard pass from
Walch to Dupree, a short pass
from Califf to Walch, and, finally,
another pass from Walch to Ca­liff.
*
SAEs 1—Alpha Gamma Rho 0
In another very close game, the
SAEs nosed out the Alpha Gam­ma
Rhos to the tune of 1-0. The
game was very close and very
rough in several instances.
Bullington, Smith, and Fitzpa-trick
turned in a very nice per­formance
for the Ag boys, while
the prominent men on the SAE
nine were Wright, passing, Com­mander,
wingback, and McMillan,
end.
The SAEs managed to get about
35 yds. in the extra period while
their opponents could get only 20.
A series of passes from Wright to
Strange, and Mangrum proved to
be the margin of victory.
Kappa Sigs 12—Phi Delta Theta 0
The Kappa Sigs made it three
straight wins in their league as
they downed the Phis 12-0. The
victory placed them in first place
in the league.
The first quarter was scoreless,
but the Kappa Sigs machine start­ed
rolling in the second period
when they scored their first
touchdown by means of a 10 yard
pass from Ronald to Garrett af­ter
Ronald had taken the ball on
a reverse. The attempt for the
point was blocked.
The last six-pointer came late

"Get Out The Scrap"
After three weeks of play in'
the current season, there remain
only eight teams who have thus
far gone undefeated. Most of the
games have' been unusually close
and many have been decided by
the slim margin of one point.
These standings include only
those games having been played
on or before Wednesday.
Pi Kappa Phi is setting the
pace in League I, boasting two
wins in as many games. They are
the only team which is unde­feated
in that league.
In League II, the Delta Sigs
are setting a dizzy pace with three
wins and no losses. They are be­ing
followed by the ATOs who
possess a single victory.
The Sigma Nus and Sigma Chis
are waging a dog fight in League
III. Both have two wins and no
losses. In League IV, the Kappa
Sigs and SPEs are the only un­defeated
teams. The former has
three wins; the latter, one.
League I
in the fourth period as • Brown
tossed a 30 yard pass to Shy,
who ran the ball over. This at­tempt
for the point was also
broken up.
Caldwell, passing for the Phis,
looked mighty good. The Kappa
Sigs played a well rounded game
and featured some nice blocking.
Their standouts were, perhaps,
the men who did the scoring, for
the entire team played good foot­ball.
Sigma Pi 7—ALT 6
Once beaten Sigma Pi won froni
the ALTs by the margin of 7-6.
The Sigma Pi score came on an
interception by Vakakes who
took it over. The extra point was
good on a pass from Vakakes to
Brawner.
The ALTs scored in the third
period on a, 25 yd. pass from
Foerg to Stanford. The try for
the point was blocked.

PHI KAPPA PHIS
(Continued from Page 1)
came as Johnny Richardson
grabbed a pass tossed by Brin-son.
The second ATO six-pointer
was set up when Richardson in­tercepted
an Alpha Psi pass on
the 10 yard line. Hunter tossed to
Bently for seven; then, Richard­son
carried the ball over from the
three on a running play to the
right end. Again, the ATOs made
the extra point count as Brinson
tossed to Jack Turner.
The second half was very un­eventful
as the second teams
played the greater part of the
game. Featured in the ATO win
were Brinson, Richardson, and
Bently, although the remainder
of the team had no small share in
the win.
