Telephone Directory
Distribution Begins
Copies of the A.P.I, student tele­phone
directory for 1951-52 are
now available to students at the
News Bureau on the second floor
of Samford Hall. Included in the
directory are faculty members and
other college employees, in addi­tion
to students.
In announcing the release of di­rectories,
L. O. Brackeen, publicity
director, also announced that a
change is being made in the meth­od
of preparing the student section
of the directory.
"In the past and for the present
issue, only the names of students
filling out student directory cards
have been used in the telephone
directory," Brackeen stated, "To
us, this method has not proved
satisfactory, since too many stu­dents,
for various reasons, have
failed to fill out directory cards
when registering or pre-register-ing.
"Working, with the offices of the
registrar and student affairs, we
have succeeded in completing plans
whereby students will not be re­quired
to fill out special cards for
the telephone directory when reg­istering.
Instead, the telephone
directory will be taken from the<
regular registration cards," Brac­keen
continued.

Raging Fire Destroys Barracks;
Losses Estimated At $11,500
Blaze Discovered At 5:25 P.M. Saturday;
Firemen's Attempt To Squelch Flames Fail
By Les Ford
A rampant fire Saturday completely destroyed -Barracks
10 of Graves dormitories. Losses were estimated at $11,500
by Dr. H. F. Vallery, coordinator of men's housing. This was
t h e second of the group of former military barracks t h a t has
been damaged by fire, t h e first being in February , 1949, with
an" estimated damage of $2,500.
Phi Lambda Upsilon
Taps Five Chemists
Phi Lambda Upsilon, honorary
chemical society, recently initiat­ed
five students. Formal initiation
was held in the chemical engi­neering
library of Wilmore Labo­ratory
and a banquet was held at
the Chicken House immediately
after the ceremony.
Dr. Howard E. Carr, associate
professor of physics, was guest
speaker for the banquet.
Initiates were James M. Coun­cil,
Daphne; Paul W. Gallier, San
Antonio, Tex.; Albert S. Johnson,
Jr., Birmingham; T h o m a s H.
Scott, Florence, and John S.
Speer, Jr., Tampa, Fla.
Phi Lambda Upsilon includes
in its membership outstanding
undergraduate and graduate stu­dents
in chemistry and chemical
engineering in addition to alumni
and faculty members engaged in
chemical work.
The blaze was discovered at
5:25 p.m., when most of the occu­pants
were either at the dining
hall or out of town for the week
end. Some 31 students were hous­ed
by the dormitory, but only two
were present at the time the
flame was discovered. Attempts
to fight the blaze with fire ex­tinguishers
proved to be in vain.
The fire was already out of hand
when the fire department arrived,
and their facilities limited them
to preventative measures on the
other dormitories.
* * *
A DEFECTIVE flue in the
heating system of the dormitory
was belieyed to have started the
fire. The heating systems of the
housing unit receive routine
maintenance once daily and the
unit had been checked Saturday
morning. The A.P.I, building and
grounds department is conducting
a detailed investigation to deter­mine
the cause and possible pre­ventative
measures against sim­ilar
incidents in the future.
Of the 31 students housed by
the barracks, only five were able
to save most of their belongings
and another five were able to
rescue a few incidentals. All stu->
dents escaped without injury, but
a large majority of them suffered
severe personal loss.
*, * - *
STUDENTS, MERCHANTS and
residents of Auburn responded to
the emergency quickly. Even as
the fire was still burning, ar­rangements
were being made to
shelter and clothe fugitives from
the fire. The college has arranged
to have the students supplied
with books from the College Book
Store and is making efforts to
reimburse the students for their
loss.
ing for the victims. Those inter­ested
in contributing are request­ed
to contact Dr. Vallery at the
student affairs office.

Fire Victims Comment
On Damages, Losses
How does it feel to drag your­self
home after a rough week end
in Birmingham to find everything
you own except the clothes you
wear, a pile of smouldering ash­es?
How does it feel to wear a
band uniform to class because it
is the only thing left?
Immediately after the barracks
10 fire, The Plainsman roving
reporter questioned occupants of
the structure, now reduced to
rubble, to get their reaction to
the blaze. * •

BILL M O R R I S , sophomore
from.West Monroe, La., was left
with only those clothes he car­ried
to Birmingham. "If I had
been there, they would have
thought I was an octopus throw­ing
things out," he states; "if the
proper precautions h a d been-taken
it might not have happen­ed,
but I am thankful that it
didn't while someone was asleep."
"Thanks to my roommate I
have some clothes to wear," says
Eugene Poff, junior from Jack­son,
Miss., "but he didn't get my
toothbrush out. No notes makes
it tough in a couple of my classes,
especially when the professor
says I haven't got a chance with­out
them, but things will prob­ably
turn out. all right."
George Ma t s c h k e , freshman
from Denville, N.J., reports, "I
crawled in under the smoke and
.grabbed a few clothes off hang­ers.
I was luckier than most even
to get that much. Everybody has
been mighty nice in helping us
get back on our feet."

Freshmen Scramble For Cake, Kiss In Annual Race Today
s
By Jim Jennings
Auburn's annual Omicron Delta
Kappa-Wilbur Hutsell Cake Race
w-ill be run this afternoon at 3:30.
• Council of Deans excuses will be
granted t's participants for all
' classes after 3 p.m.
The Cake Race is a 2.7-mile
cross country run required for
all able-bodied male freshmen.
The first 25 runners to cross the
finish line will be awarded cakes.
The first place man will get a kisa
from Miss Auburn, a number of
prizes donated by local mer­chants,
a cup from ODK and a
numeral sweater from the Au­burn
athletic department in addi­tion
to a cake.
# * id
THE FRATERNITY having the
five pledges with the lowest num­ber
of points scored will be grant­ed
100 points toward the all-sports
trophy, and the Interfrat-ernity
Council will award that
fraternity a trophy.
All Cake Race contestants will
assemble in front of the field
house by 3:15 and be ready for
the race at 3:30. Each runner will
be given a tag on which* he will
print his name and sponsoring or­ganization.
This tag will be at­tached
to the front side of the
right shoulder. Any runner fin­ishing
the race without a tag will
be disqualified.
Runners will be leS by a path­finder
car in which Miss Auburn,
Janice Williams, Bessemer, will
ride, escorted by Bill Falken-berry,
Selma. All runners must
follow the car and stay on the
street without cutting corners.
THE CAKE Race began in 1929
when Track Coach Wilbur Hut-sell
found himself short of talent.
In an effort to locate any un­known
runnel's of outstanding
ability on the campus he origin­ated
the idea of a race for all
freshmen.
The 1929 race proved to be the
slowest on record, but it attract­ed
a great deal of interest on the
campus and was repeated the fol­lowing
year.
Coach Hutsell found several
track prospects in the second race,
and the event found a sponsor in
ODK. Since that time it has be­come
one of the Auburn tradi­tions.
*/
* * *
TIME FOR the race in 1929 was
17 minutes, 32 seconds. This re­cord
was reduced regularly until
1939 when John C. Ball set a 14
minute, one second pace for the
course. Track experts thought
this record would stand for all
time, until Olympics runner Whi-tey
Overton came to the campus.
He ran the 2.7 miles in 13 minutes,
46 seconds.
Ewart Atkins, lanky speedster
from Gadsden, was winner of the
1950 event.
THE CAKE Race course begins
in front of the Field House, goes
past the library and makes a left
turn on College Street. It contin­ues
past Toomer's : Corner to
Chief's service station, where a
right turn is made onto Glenn
Avenue. The runners go down
Glenn to the second stop light,
then bear right to Magnolia Ave­nue,
where another right turn is
made up the Mil. ;. ; ;.:.; :.. _
Turning left onto Gay Street at
the Methodist Church, the course
continues until a right turn is
made at Samford Avenue. From
this turn it winds past the Kappa
Alpha house, between the fores­try
building and the president's
mansion and past the barracks to
the animal husbandry building
The runners then turn right down
Cary Street, going west of the
baseball field and into the gate
of the stadium to finish on the
track.

Greeks Plan Christmas Parties
By Betti% Jones
Well, well, Santa Claus is com­ing
to town. And to prove it,
several of the local lodges are
planning 3'uletide festivities for the
coming week end. These parties,
plus elections and the usual swaps,
are keeping Auburn's social whirl
going nicely.
The annual Christmas party for
the PiKA's will be held Saturday
night. Santa's visit and the ex­changing
of small gifts will be
followed by dancing. Mrs. L. C.
Steed, housemother, will chaper-one
and the traditional eggnog will
be served to members, pledges and
dates. Since it will undoubtedly
be too cold for the Jungle, the
party is planned for the ivy-cover­ed
lodge's walled portions.
Getting an extra jump on exam
studying, the KD pledges enter­tained
the members with a Christ­mas
party in the chapter room
Monday night. In addition to the
gifts, each girl brought a toy for
donation to the ward maintained
by the KD's at the Crippled Chil­dren's
Hospital in Richmond, Va.
The Kappa Sig's are looking for­ward
to the holidays in a big way.
Tomorrow night is the time set for
the Christmas party and Friday-night
the members, pledges and
dates will gather at the house to
go caroling. After the singing by
the would be Crosby-White Christ-masers
is over, the group will re­turn
to the house for informal
dancing.
Jolly old Saint Nicholas is going
to be running his legs off Satur­day
night and the Alpha Tau house
is one of the special stops 'on his
itinerary. Members, pledges'and
dates will celebrate with dancing,
with music by the Auburn Knights
combo. Mrs. C. E. (Mom).Lowe
will chaperone the group of revel­ers.
The Sigma Chi's have an added
incentive to make their Christmas
parties the gayest ever. In addition
to the regular party Saturday
night, they will play host to a
special group of underprivileged
children next Tuesday and the
afternoon will include entertain­ment
and gifts to make theirs a
Merry Christmas.
Along the line of swaps, the Chi
O's entertained the Kappa Sig's
with a spaghetti supper in their
chapter room last night. Revers­ing
the situation the PiKA's dined
the ADPi's with supper and a house
dance last night. The Phi Delta
Theta's and the KD's also joined
forces last night for a house dance.
Rounding out the social week for
the Kappa Sig's, the members,
pledges, and dates will be enter­tained
at a Mardi Gras party Sat­urday
night. The flavor of New
Orleans at that exciting time of
the year will be carried out in
decorations and refreshments.
More Christmas—The Kappa Al­pha
Mansion will be the scene of
a house dance Saturday night for
all the good brothers, and tomor­row
afternoon the KA's and Phi
Mu's will jointly entertain a group
of underprivileged children.
Auburn's Sigma Phi Epsilon's
met with those from the Capstone
for an annual dance in the Terrace
Ball Room of Birmingham's Tut7
wiler Hotel after the Legion Field
battle Saturday. Music was hon­eyed
out by the Auburn Knights.
In this last issue of The Plains­man
for the fall quarter, this writer
would like to say Merry, Merry
Christmas to all and lots of good
luck and ingenuity during exams.
We'll see you all next quarter with
all the scandalous society items
we can dig up.

Various women's dormitories, or­ganizations
and sororities spon­sored
candidates for the event.
The winning candidate was de­cided
by penny-a-vote balloting.
* * *
A TOTAL of $330.71 was gross­ed
from the balloting. Moore, a
senior in business administra­tion
from Greensboro, garnered
$148,13. in votes. He was sponsor­ed
by Chi Omega sorority. Lloyd
"Scooter" Hale, Montgomery, was
runner-up with $37.61 worth of
votes; his sponsor was Kappa
Delta sorority. Charlie Cox, Clan-ton,
sponsored by Phi Mu soror­ity,
took third place honors with
$35.25 in votes.
The two top candidates each
received a large loving cup, as
did their sponsoring sororities.
The winning candidates will have
the opportunity to choose their
own inscriptions to be put on the
cups. '

A BRONZE plaque, giving s
brief history of the lathe and
costing approximately $125, will
soon be set in the base of the
historic old lathe. This is the first
project that has been undertaken
by APhiO with the money raised
from the contest. Other projects
that will be undertaken by the
service fraternity will include
buying a piece of furniture or a
radio for the Student Center, says
Buddy Tillery,- Phenix City, pre­sident
of the group.
"The contest was a far greater
success than we had anticipated,"
said Tillery; "we are planning to
make this an annual affair, using
the money to promote worthwhile
campus projects."
Other candidates and their
sponsors were Bill Pitts, Auburn,

Production supervision attracts many
mechanical engineers. Men who have
the ability and interest usually move
into it by one or two routes: they ac­quire
background on all stages of a
plant's operations by helping design
the plant, or by operating on the job.
supervision.
Efficient maintenance is an impor­tant
cost factor in the continuous
processes of a modern chemical in­dustry.
The M.E. is called upon to
diagnose troubles, work out correc­tive
measures, and supervise repairs.
Frequently he increases produc­tion
by developing preventive main­tenance
measures. So vital is this
work that in one division of the Com­pany,
500 men of all crafts, along
with a routine maintenance group,
spend almost all their time on it.

U.S-—Abyss Of DegrSafion.^
Over in the neighboring state of Geor­gia
there's a man that is pulling the wool
over more people's eyes than anyone since
Gene Talmadge and his stump-speaking,
back-slapping, baby-kissing political days.
Commissioner of Agriculture Tom Lan­der
is gradually converting the state-sup­ported
-bulletin which prints classified
items for farmers" into Linder's weekty
editorial. Distributed absolutely free to
riear-ly every farmer (that votes) in the
state, the Market Bulletin now carries
along with its hog-for-sale items, several
columns of Linder's views on government,
politics, etc. It was in Gene Talmadge's
days as commissioner of agriculture that
he, too, became the farmers' friend, and
later governor.
But this is not so important as a bit of
Linder's reasoning . which he recently
printed. Our attention was called to it
after Columnist Albritton's words on the
Confederate flag were carried in The
Plainsman last week.
Under the Market Bulletin's masthead
which says Tom Linder, Commissioner was
the banner headline "The Stars and Bars,"
Editorial By Tom Liiuler. The editorial
was signed by Tom Linder and a picture
of Torn Linder was included in the issue.
Obviously names do make news and in­fluence
agrarians too.
Linder opened with a salute to the
"Stars and Bars" which was proper and is
popular at pep rallies, "kiddie" parties and
the like. But he soon progressed to re-fighting
the War Between the States, giv­ing
his reasons added oomph with appro­priate
quotations from the Bible and Tho­mas
Jefferson.
Student Property...
While Auburn students explored Bir­mingham
Saturday night a defective heat­ing
plant in barracks 10 ignited the tinder-box
and consumed an estimated $13,000
worth of the inhabitants' personal belong­ings.
This was a great loss to the 31 students
irl the barracks. One resident still dressed
in his band uniform was seen inspecting
the ruins Sunday. All his clothes had been
burned in the fire. 4
As is usually the case in a time of emer­gency,
all witnesses gave a different ac­count
of the fire. Accusations were made;
and expanded upon as the tale passed from
person to person.
Some say that none of the fire extin­guishers
in the building worked, others
say that two of the eight worked, and still
others report that one of the five function­ed.
Hence, we have no idea of how many
operated. But it is evident that the ma­jority
of the extinguishers fizzled in a time
of need,
extinguishers.
Rumors also have it that B and G offi­cials
failed to check the heating plant when
the barracks manager reported that it was
not functioning properly. This is untrue.
A Good Grid Season...
Sure, Auburn lost to Alabama Satur­day.
We hated to see the Tigers lose as
much as anyone. But we're not going to
wear long faces for the rest of the year.
We're not dissatisfied with the Plainsmen.
To say that we are just satisfied would
be an understatement. Auburn has had a
great year on the gridiron. Ralph Jordan
and his young coaching staff have raised
Auburn from the very bottom to a highly
respectable rung on the Southeastern Con­ference
grid ladder. Under Coach Jordan's
able direction, Auburn has regained her
rightful position as a prominent football
power in the South.
We are proud of Auburn's football
team. Any team that can come through in
. . . Says Georgian
After a synopsis of the War Between
the States, Linder goes on to say that
"whatever right the Federal Government
has to coerce the states, that same right
now exists for the United Nations to coerce
its members." And he then observes, "If
this country'endures as a representative
republic, such usurped authority must be
stripped from the National Congress, from
the President of the United States and
from the Federal Courts." And we would
once again be a bunch of battling war-like
states.
Saluting the Confederate soldiers, Lin­der
doffed his cap with, "It was the cour­age
and valor of men who revered these
principles that made it possible for the
people of the South to maintain their in­tegrity,
racial pride, and the traditions of
the past in the face of little men in author­ity
in Washington, who sought by every
possible means to degrade them." And so,
Abraham Lincoln is classified as a little
man.
Linder concludes with an observation
of the war's effect on Americans. He
states that.the war was "used by ruthless
enemies of the people of the South to stir
the sympathies of the people, of the North
and cause' them to forget the'real issues of
the day, cause them to trample under foot
all constitutional safeguards and to plunge
their children and grandchildren into this
abyss of degradation in which all decent
Americans find themselves today."
We urge all loyal Americans (particul­arly
Southerners in respect to Mr. Linder)
to come pull with us. Let's get out of this
abyss.
. . . Goes Up In Smoke
The thermostats were checked and were
operating properly.- But this condition was
only temporary.
The burning of barracks 10 was nothing
new to students living in the inflammable
structures. Two years ago barracks 14
burned due to a defective heating plant.
Temporary heating systems in temporary
barracks offer only temporary safety.
And the barracks are now getting rather
old. They were constructed in 1946 when
the influx of veterans swamped the col­lege's
housing program. But they will
have outlived their usefulness when the
men's new dormitory is Completed next
year. They should be torn down.
All the rumors and accusations, how­ever,
are not replacing the loss to the 31
inhabitants of the barracks. Immediately
after the fire many Auburn citizens called
to offer aid to the inhabitants, and a drive
was begun Monday to cbllecl funds to re­place
the clothing that was burned. Con­tributions
alone will not replace the $13,000
that went up in smoke, but any amount
will be better than none.
We think the college too should aid the
students With a total or partial compensa­tion
for the damaged possessions.
. . . y/e're Satisfied
the clutch as Auburn has should be highly
commended. Students disappointed in the
Tigers should recall the cry only three
months past of supposed authorities who
figured Auburn strong enough for only
two wins this fall. Such talk failed to
dampen Auburn's great spirit, though, and
the Tigers' determination and will to win
enabled them to walk off the gridiron vic­torious
five times. \
Coach Jordan and the 1951 Tiger team
have caused the SEC Spotlight to be turned
on Auburn time and time again.this fall.
The football world has been awakened to
the fact that Auburn is Coming back! Con­gratulations,
Tigers; we're satisfied, and

Foot's Note
By Dave "Foots" Lartey
Jennings
He said I wouldn't use it, but
my pride would not let me resist.
Besides, I needed a column and in
addition I would like to get into
style with my fellow columnists.

One serious and sour note.
Alpha Phi Omega is a highly
respected national service frater­nity
composed of former Boy
Scouts.
The organization has carried out
many worthwhile projects. Its
book exchange program has been
one of the most valuable services
to the students of Auburn per­formed
by any service organization
on the campus.
But Alpha Phi Omega sponsored
an idea recently that falls far be­low
their normal high standards.
This was the childish Ugliest
Man on the Campus election.
If APhiO needs to make money
they can find better ways to do it.
It is painful to be called ugly if
actually ugly, and pointless to be
called ugly otherwise. Certainly
the title Ugliest Man on the Cam­pus
reflects no credit on the Win­ner.
Neither is the election a credit
to the school or to APhiO.

HAPPY.
N E W YEAR
For the coaches and for the foot­ball
team—a word of praise. Se­curing
coathes of good quality and
coordinating them with the team
was for Coach Jordan and the
Auburn athletic department the
most difficult problem earlier in
the year—a problem no easier to
solve than the American retalia­tion
following Pearl Harbor—when
it came to the oncoming and rug­ged
conference football schedule in
the fall.
It was not so much the players'
being different from this and last
year's team, but it was the grid
mentors who quickly threw the
sophomore and freshman studded
gi;oup into a very formidable team
which finished with a record which
no true Auburnite can be ashamed
of.
Some say Auburn fell apart
somewhat in the latter part of the
season, but it wag not that. Au­burn,
a fighting bunch Who never
gave up, was, composed of men who
had had little experience as far as
playing together was concerned. It
was a group who learned more than
had been expected of them before
the season had begun; a unit that .
put everything it had into every
game, but the known factor was
that the great amount they had
learned was eventually discovered
by rival coaching staffs and sqoUts.
In summation, the teams that
beat Auburn were like old, experi­enced
magicians who had through
the years learned just a few more
tricks or had the capability of
catching on'as a result of working
together for a considerable length
of time—it wasn't that the older
foes had more hustle or the will
to win than did the Auburns.
If there is any Auburn student
who registers any complaint what­soever
concerning Auburn's 1951
football season in general, to me
he is University of Alabarria ma­terial.
For the coaches and for the foot­ball
team, again—a job well done.

"Sure," said the boy, "I can do

'Why I Hate Jim Jennings' Elucidation;
APhiO's UMOC Contest Put Under Fire
By Jim Jennings
WHY I HATE JIM JENNINGS
James S. Jennings, better known as Mad Dog, was a friend
of mine, but today he is on my Hate List.
The reasons he made this list are by far to numerous to
list here. However, I will attempt to explain briefly the reasons
for Jim's honored place on the above-mentioned list.
Tonight at the
unholy hour of
7:55 p.m. J. S. J.
(short for James
• S. J e n n i n g s )
suggested that
• he and I go up­town
for a cup
of coffee. At the
time that this
suggestion was
made, I was en­grossed
in a serious discussion on
the (censored) who
compose local draft boards and was
enjoying said discussion greatly.
J. S. J. couldn't stand to see me
enjoying myself, so he proceeded
to apply a half-nelson on the sleeve
of my jacket, ripping it to shreds.
That is reason one for my hating
j.s.j. (Note small letters used to
indicate one no good (cen­sored).
The procedure of using
lower case for things disliked was
originated by alabama magazine
and I hope said magazine will for­give
me for borrowing this effec­tive
weapon from them.)
To continue, upon arrival in
town j.s.j. suggested that we flip
for the coffee bill. I lost. Another
reason for hating j.s.j.
Following this sad episode we
proceeded to our final destination,
the office of The Plainsman. After
I spent several hours ghost writ­ing
my mad friend's column, he
offered to buy me a Coke only he
didn't have any money and would
I please lend him a dime so he
could buy me said Coca-Cola. Fool­ishly
I did. The second he had his
hand on MY dime he cried
"sucker," ran from the room and "
proceeded to purchase and drink
two Cokes. Reason three for hating
j.s.j.
In addition, to all other reasons,
I hate j.s.j. for using the name of
man's best friend for his nickname.
I am a veterinary student and I
happen to like dogs very much.

By Walter Albritton
America has been called the land of "freedom of the press."
But no longer can anyone beat that drum, because last Tues­day
night a huge, hysterical mob of students here on the Plains
kicked a hole in it.
Your columnist, a true and loyal Southerner if there ever
was one, narrowly escaped being "strung up" by that mob.
And this week, so that all students may learn the truth behind
the various rumors floating around, I am giving the true ac­count
of what really happened.*
At approximately 19 minutes, 48 seconds, past 8 last Tues­day
night, thousands of sheet-covered Ku
Kluxers had sneaked into the seclusion of
Pie Cappa Fie fraternity where a secret meet­ing
of the Auburn Klan was called to order
by Klansman "Bloody John" Smells, who had
been elected president because of his having
clubbed the most "niggers" of any Ku Kluxer
in the Auburn branch. Smells stirred the
group into a frenzy with the warning that
"American journalism is attempting to des­troy
that which we love, the Confederate
flag. We must not both«&4G reason this thing out; we must
act foolishly now, and see thatjthe guilty culprit is punished!"
A loud cheer went up from the blood-thirsty Klansmen, and
while" several Kluxers broke out the supply of crosses, cries
of "string him up!" echoed through the rafters. Led by Bloody
John and vice-president Gas "Firebug" Oline, the only Kluxer
who had burned 14 homes, the mob rushed madly out of the
house and over to the library where your columnist was seized,
roped and carried away. I struggled fiercely to escape so that
I might remain and enjoy my studies, but to no avail.
Realizing that to resist would be senseless, I walked calmly
along singing and whistling hymns, while the mob of sheet-concealed
Kluxers bellowed forth lusty yells of "tie him to the ,
cottonwood tree!" Around my neck was a heavy grass rope,
the other end of which was held securely by Bloody John, who-by
this time was foaming at the mouth. As we marched down
the street toward the Cappa Al Fa stronghold, I noticed lights
in the homes on both sides of the street go out as the mob
approached.
Marching at the front of the mob was a huge radical who
was devoting all his energy to blowing a Confederate flag-covered
trumpet, announcing the approach of the simple-minded
mob. . On either side of the trumpeter was a Kluxer
proudly waving high the "Stars and Bars." Hundreds among
the mob were lugging fiery crosses and shouting words of en­couragement
to those reluctant few who felt that maybe this
wasn't such a good idea after all. All 10,000 of the wild emo­tionalists
were singing "Dixie" at the top of their voices, and
many suggested that I do likewise. I continued to sing hymns.
The mob forced all traffic to stop and for two hours it was
impossible for a car to get through. As the line of impatient
horn-blowing motormen increased to several miles in rear and
in front of the mob, no one realized that a little seven-year-old
girl died in an ambulance only a mile away because the driver
could not get her to medical aid in time.
When a suitable cottonwood could not be found, the mob i
decided to string me up on the porch of the Cappa Al Fa house.
However, before running my horse out from under me, the
Kluxers figured that my large, muscular frame would make
a good target for such objects as ice water, beer, hen fruit,
tomatoes, and other assorted vegetables. Well, what happened
is too messy to write about.
Finally, when the food pile was exhausted, the Kluxers
walked with blood in their eyes toward me. I calmly decided
that my number was up, and nervously awaited the fateful
cry of "Hi Yo Silver!" which would send my mount speeding
away and leave me dangling in mid-air. I wondered what
death would be like.
Then it happened. Two pistol shots rang out in the still
of the night air, and Bloody John fell in a pool of blood. The
mob scattered and seconds later I stood triumphant and un-rattled
on the good firm earth, surrounded by a squad of police­men
who had finally gotten through.
Police Chief Knucklenose Casey said after the smoke had
cleared, "We arrived just in the nick of time!" I returned to
the library, tied Silver to the hitching rail, and went inside to
resume my studying.

Christmas!

API's Police Force Has Routine Work,
But Ready For Emergency It Needed
By Walter Everidge
Need an officer of the law? Call college extension 243 and
ask the voice which answers to send the college prowl car.
Tucked away in a small office in buildings and grounds
department headquarters is a small unit comprising A.P.I.'s
security force.
ii
This 12-man campus police team
forms another integral part of a
smoothly-functioning Auburn.
Under chief security officer M.
E. Dawson, four policemen and
seven night watchmen maintain a
constant vigil to preserve order on
the college grounds. Ordinarily
law enforcement is considered to
be mysterious and exciting, but at
A.P.I, it is rarely more than rou­tine.
THROUGHOUT each day the pri­mary
duty of the force is to direct
traffic and see that organized park­ing
is maintained. But when dark­ness
falls, the watchmen go on
duty to guard the various build­ings;
and two officers patrol the
campus in a radio car on the look­out
for trespassers and unauthor­ized
persons and whatever trouble
might happen to arise.
Although campus officers are
not directly connected with the
city enforcement body, they co­operate
with them if any emer­gency
comes up. Radio calls to
the prowl car go through the trans­mitter
at city headquarters, ahd
both city and state officers are
called in, for example,, to help
facilitate a continuous systematic
flow of traffic when Auburn is the
scene of a football game.
REGARDING the week end
grid traffic, Chief Dawson states,
"Although it would seem to present
a problem, it doesn't do so. It is
much easier to handle bumper-to-bumper
traffic than periodic flur­ries."
He points with pride to the con­clusive
proof of this statement.
There was not a single report pf
an accident during the past grid
season, he says.
In a recent traffic survey it was
found that approximately 1,600
automobiles are on the campus
daily. Despite this overfluX' the
parking situation has improved.
The improvement has come about
through better cooperation on the
students' part and the system of
uniform 'parking now in use.
Auburn students have given the
law officials very little trouble. Of
course there are the normal num­ber
of college pranks which have
t c b e straightened out ahd several
traffic violations to contend with,
but all in all, chief Dawson says,
the campus police think the stu­dents
Well-mannered and straight­forward.

DON'T SPOIL YOUR SHOPPING
Crowded stores, arms full of packages, selection
of gifts bring on the holiday atmosphere. Often
times it also brings disappointment and a cloud over
holiday happiness when a purse or wallet is lost.
Now especially, and all through the year, shop
with checkbook and avoid the hazards of carrying
large sums of cash. You have a receipt and record
of your purchase for budget-checking, along with

IRC provides an opportunity^
for friendly contact between stu­dents
of all nationalities and gives
foreign students an opportunity

KEUICHI YAMAMOTO, ex­change
student from Japan, serv­ed
as vice-president of the club
during the spring quarter and
students from a dozen nations
have participated in IRC activi­ties.
During the spring quarter the
IRC gave a banquet for a former
Hungarian finance minister, and
presented programs for several
other campus organizations.
Plans have been made for the
remainder of the year to provide
an expanded interest in world
affairs among the students on the
campus. Emphasis will be placed
on the United Nations through
the organization of a United Na­tions
information group from the
membership of the IRC.
Louis Belek, Auburn, graduate
student in education, is president
of the club and acts as general co­ordinator
of all club activities in
addition to his duties of presid­ing
at the club meetings.
IRC is sponsored by the Carne­gie
Foundation for International
Peace and has chapters in col­leges
and universities throughout
the world.
AUBURN'S CHAPTER of the
club was founded in the early
1930's and developed into a thriv­ing
organization under the fac­ulty
leadership of O. T. Ivey, as­sociate
professor of history.
During the war years interest
in the club "declined and at one
time shortly after the war the
club was kept alive by three girls
who were the only members.
Since this low point in interest,
the club has revived, largely
through efforts of Ivey find
Claude McNorton, associate pro­fessor
of history, and IRC is once
again becoming ah active orgahi

To Auburn Students
Auburn's football season is
over for 1951, but I want to do
some generalizing and a little in­dividualizing
on the subject of
the Auburn Spirit. First, to all
Auburn students, I'd like to say
thank you. Your cooperation in
attending pep rallies and yelling
at games was fine. The traditional
Auburn Spirit was upheld to the
fullest by all of you.
The Auburn cheerleaders play­ed
a major part in the students'
participation in this football sea­son.
They receive much criticism
and little glory, but theirs is a
thankless job that requires a lot
of work. To Key Phillips, Betty %
Jackson, Jill Rawls, Jack Watson,
Carol Watkins, Graham Dozier,
and especially to Dennis Calhoun,
I say, "Thanks for a job well
done," and may your efforts be
more appreciated in the future.
Very few students realize the
amount of planning, preparation,
and publicity that is necessary in
carrying out the pep rallies, pep
dances, parades, etc. I would like
to thank the following members
of the Student Spirit Committee

WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT
ABOUT ENGLEWOOD, N. J. ?
In Englewood, the local telephone exchange looks pretty much
like the telephone building in any other town.
And Englewood's telephones seem just the same as the twenty-sevcn'million
other dial telephones in the country.
But there's a difference . . .
You can pick up a telephone in Englewood and dial San Francisco
telephone numbers direct/
In fact, you can dial any one of eleven million telephone numbers
in thirteen widely scattered areas from coast to coast.
That's what makes Englewood different — the new kind of Long
Distance telephone service on trial there by the Bell System.
Long Distance dialing is another example of the Bell System's
constant search for ways to provide you with ever-better telephone
service.

Kokomo's Korner By Bill McArdle
Naturally Coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan will get every
Auburn vote for Coach of the Year. Auburn has seen the
change affected by Jordan, his staff, and the players. Any­one
close to the situation here at the Plains, like the students,
can tell of the job that has been done. Sure it's been told
before but it can't be overemphasized.
No coach-in the conference including Bob Neyland or
Bobby Dodd made such a complete surprise of the season.
Dodd was closer than Neyland, but neither approached the
work done at Auburn.
The Tigers, a unanimous pre-season choice for the SEC
cellar, have finished sixth. They beat Vanderbilt, Wofford,
Florida, Tulane, and Louisiana College and lost to Georgia
Tech, Ole Miss, Georgia, Clemson, and Alabama.
, Explaining his team's last half slump, Jordan said that his
players were just tired. They didn't have the reserves to
play such inspired football for 10 full games. That probably
tells the story at Auburn better than anything. The team;
was filled with injuries the whole year, and this never re­ceived
the significance that it should have. It has been said
for a long, long time that Auburn was coming back, but now
it seems conclusive that they are.
Freshmen Being Signed Now
Hardly a day passes that prep g-ridders can't be seen try­ing
out at Cliff Hare Stadium. Auburn has already jumped
ahead in the race for high school talent.
Signed are John'Pichelmayer, Woodlawn fullback; Howell
Tubbs, West End quarterback-halfback; Dan Clayton, West
End halfback; Billy Hicks, Hueytown quarterback; James
Pyburn, Ensley end-halfback; Joe Autrey, Bessemer halfback;
Johnny Adams, Bessemer halfback, and Ray Mercer, Moultrie,
•Ga., halfback.
This group represents some of the best players in Ala­bama
and Georgia. Mercer, the Moultrie halfback, was
sought by Michigan State, Michigan, Alabama, Georgia,
Georgia Tech, Florida, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Illi­nois
and Ohio State. He was the leading ground-gainer in
Georgia this year.
Auburn AP SEC Selections
Here are the Auburn AP SEC selections released Sunday.
It was the best Tiger showing in a long time, with five men
awarded positions on either the second or third teams.
Guard Ed Bauer and Safetyman Vince Dooley got second-team
berths, Bauer on offensive unit and Dooley on the de­fensive
unit. End Lee Hayley and Guard Ed Duncan were
on the third offensive team, and Tackle Bill Turnbeaugh
made the third defensive team. All but Bauer will return
next year.
Another Tiger praised was Tackle Joe Tiburzi, though he
wasn't named on the AP SEC team. Commissioner Bernie
Moore of the SEC, who spends the week ends viewing the
conference teams, was quoted to say that he doubted if there
was a better offensive tackle in the conference than Tiburzi.
The Korner Closes
This is the last Korner for The Plainsman. After a year
and a half, the sports fans deserve a break. Foots Laney,
the very able editorialist, will move-ovei^to this page where
he will edit sports.
Writing sports isn't difficult at Auburn, where there is
plenty of cooperation. The coaches are always ready to help
out and an athlete is just one of the boys regardless of pub­licity
he gets. If you want to write sports you can't beat
Auburn for a starter. Nobody comes to Auburn four years
and doesn't get it under his skin.

Tiger Cagers Barely Edge Southern;
Prepare For Rugged SEC Schedule
By Dave Laney
Auburn's cagers, taking another step in preparation for
the forthcoming rugged SEC basketball schedule, had to
come from behind in the fading moments to edge Birmingham
Southern, 65-59, last Thursday night in the Magic City.
It was anybody's ball game until the last two minutes,
the lead having changed hands 22
times during the contest.
* * *
SAID TIGER COACH Joel
Eaves at the termination of the
game, "I told my boys they were
in for their first big test of the
season, and Southern proved to
be just that."
The first half was very close,
the Tigers and Panthers being
tied, 32-32, when the two teams
went to the dressing rooms at
intermission.
Hard play continued in the sec­ond
half, the Panthers leading,
57-55, with only seconds remain­ing
when Tiger Guard Inman
Veal tied it up with a field goal
followed by Billy Fickling's free
throw which put the Plainsmen
out in front to stay, 58-57.
* * *
JIM MARTIN, Auburn center,
iced the Tiger conquest with two
quick goals and a free throw.
Martin was high point man for
the Tigers, hitting for 16 points.
Larry Striplin, high point man
for the evening, lead the South­erners
with 20 points, while Veal
and Jack Turner followed closely
behind Martin with 15 markers
each. Turner, fouled five times,
made all of his free throws good.
For Auburn it was win number
two, having defeated the Troy
State Teachers, 83-58, earlier in
the week. It was Southern's first
loss, they having beaten Mercer
previously in a close contest.
Sigma Nu Flushes
Theta Chi's, 13-0,
In Toilet Bowl Fray
Approximately 500 screaming
fans saw Sigma Nu blank Theta
Chi, 13-0, in the third annual "Toi­let
Bowl" game Monday, Nov. 26,
at the City Park. It was the first
time that interfraternity football
had been played on a tackle basis
at Auburn.
The classic was breath-taking
from start to finish with both
teams running, blocking, and tack­ling
with tremendous power. In
the first half both teams remained
scoreless, neither team threaten­ing,
seriously. Sigma Nu, however,
had a slight edge in yards rushing
due to a series of setbacks when
Ken Fuller, Theta Chi, was
swamped trying to pass.
HALF-TIME festivities featured
the 10-piece "Three Dollar Band."
Several intricate formations were
performed by the band after which
the "Queens" of the respective fra
ternities were presented. Theta Chi
"Queens" were Miss Milo Howard,
escorted by Bill Home, and Miss
Billie Harget, escorted by Gale
Cooper. Sigma Nu sponsors were
Miss Hallie Home, escorted by
George Petznick, and Miss Billie
Harden, escorted by Jake Patter
son. The "Queens" were presented
with 'mum corsages.
Theta Chi, led by Ken Fuller,
exploded with an astounding aerial
attack in the second half while
Sigma Nu was content to find
their yardage on the ground.
Late in the third quarter the
Snakes received a punt on the
Theta Chi 17 and after a series of
plays, Jones plunged over for the
pocket editions

tain.' Farish and Weldon are
Coach Joel Eaves' only returning
lettermen on an 11-man team.
Sharp-shooting Weldon w a s
one of the leading Plainsmen
forwards on Eaves' 12-game-win-ning
cage corps last year. In 21
games, including the SEC play­off
contest with Kentucky, Wel­don
bucketed 125 points.
Auburn opened her '51 hard­wood
slate November 27, bounc­ing
Troy State Teachers College,
83-58. Then on a visit to the
Magic City, the Eaves-tutored
basketeers garnered successive
victories over B i r m i n g h am
Southern and Howard College.
Coach Eaves will take his sopho­more-
studded outfit to Athens,
Ga., Saturday night where Au­burn
will take on her first con­ference
opponent in the Georgia
Bulldogs.
TROY STATE fell easily before
the Tigers' fast-breaking attack,
but the lack of experience of his
starting quintet was obvious.
"We don't have enough exper­ience
to be counted on for a top
berth in the conference," says
Eaves. "Our brighter side is a tall
team that has three and four
years to prove themselves."
Starting the first few games
along with Weldon and Farish
at forwards have been six-foot,
seven-inch Bob Fenn. of Mont­gomery
at center; six-foot, one-inch
Inman "Kook" Veal, Macon,
Ga., and six-foot Jack Turner,
Birmingham, at guards. Bill Fick.
ling, six-foot, four-inch forward
from Macon, Ga., has seen con­siderable
action during the early
season engagements. With the ex­ception
of Weldon and Farish, all
of the first stringers are sopho­mores.
Other sophomores who will
shaae playing time this year are
center Jim Martin, six-foot, six-inch
Greensboro g i a n t , and
guards John Cochran, six-feet,
four-inches, Gadsden, and Vince
Dooley, five-feet, 10 inches, Mo­bile.
DOOLEY WILL PROVIDE ad­ditional
aid at guard now that
football season is over. A regular
on the Bill Lynn-coached "Swish
Kids" of last year, Dooley report­ed
for practice this week follow-
Wednesday, Dec. 5, 1951
ing Auburn's final grid game with
Alabama December 1.
Outstanding freshmen who will
aid the varsity during the early
season are center Dan Fausett,
six-foot, seven-inch performer of
Atlanta, Ga.; forward Gordan
Mummert, six-foot, f o u r-inch
eager also of Atlanta, and Sam-f
o r d C a r t e r , five-foot, 11-
inch star of Sullivan, Ind.
Eaves has a hard time trying
to find replacements for Dan
Pridgen, George Hill, Don Lan-ford,
Roy Brawner, Jack Glas­gow,
Bill Dawson, Bill Mobberly,
and Bill Walter.
One highlight of the current
hardwood season will be the ap­pearance
of Kentucky's highly-rated
basketball team in Auburn
January 30. It will be the first
time that the Adolph Rupp-coached
squad has ever played a
game in the Plainsmen's sports
arena.
Other top-notch teams to be
played on the Plains are Vander­bilt,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Tennessee, Georgia Tech, How­ard,
Birmingham Southern and
Maxwell Field.

Tide Rolls Over Tigers, 25 -
Marvelous Marlow Sparks 'Bama
To Third Modern Series Victory
By Kokomo McArdle
Legion Field, Birmingham, Ala.—The Alabama Crimson
Tide swept to its third win over Auburn in four years Sat­urday,
trouncing a tired but battling Tiger, 25-7.
Except for two first quarter threats, Auburn never ser­iously
challenged the Tide superiority. Auburn had spent
most of its energy in the early
part of the season and though the
Tigers wanted this one, they
didn't have enough left to get it.
It was by no means a rout.
Alabama, which showed that it
had the ammunition, spared none
of it. It couldn't have afforded to
with Auburn never quitting. Des­pite
a great showing by Bama's
Bobby Marlow, T i g e r hopes
were still high in the third quar­ter
after Homer Williams slashed
seven yards for a score to nar­row
the margin to 19-7.
Marlow accounted for more
than half of the Tide ground
game with 233 yards and over a
nine yard per carry average. Au­burn
has to stop him again next
year. He scored three of the four
Alabama. touchdowns, h a v i ng
without doubt his best game of
the year.
For Auburn, Homer Williams
wound up a brilliant senior year.
He netted an even 100 yards and
was almost never stopped by one
man. Because he has two more
years to perform, Quarterback
Vince Dooley delighted Auburn
fans. Though not the fastest man
on the field, he looked like the
most elusive.
* * *
AUBURN THREATENED first
after a roughing-the-kicker pen­alty
gave them their initial first
down. On the first play following,
Williams went up the middle for
27 yards to the* Bama 35. The
Tigers got down to the 27 but a
fumble there gave it back to the
Tide.
The Tigers threatened again
after a Crimson punt bounced
back 15 yards to the Auburn 38.
Williams skirted the Tide left end
for 48 yards and was finally stop­ped
by Jack Brown on the 14
yard line. On the next play Wil­liams
got seven more to the seven
and it looked rosy for Auburn.
When Alabama held, Joe Davis

went back to try a field goal with
the ball being placed on the 15.
The kick was wide to the right
and the Tide took over on the 20.
* * *
ALABAMA STORMED over in
10 plays, scoring on the last play
of the first quarter. Marlow got
27 before Dooley tackled him.
Tommy Lewis followed with 18
yards then Melton added five at
right end. Wilson hit left tackle
for eight and a Tide first down at
the Auburn 22.
A pass from Melton to Lary
was knocked down by Dooley and
Freeman. Lewis was stopped for
two at tackle. On fourth down
Red Lutz came in for what was
thought to be a field goal; but
instead, Bobby Wilson, "who was
holding, passed to Brown, who
lugged it to the six. After Turn-beaugh
stopped Lewis, Bama was
penalized 15 yards for holding.
Hobson took a 12-yard pass
from Melton; then Marlow ran
seven around left end and Bama
led, 6-0. Long blocked Lutz's PAT
attempt.
Jess Richardson set up the sec­ond
Bama score, taking a deflect­ed
Dooley pass. Marlow and Wil­son
moved the ball to the Auburn
three where .in two tries Bimbo
Melton carried it over. Lutz con­verted
and it was 13-0 at the half:
* * *
BAMA SCORED in six plays
after the second half kick-off.
Starting at the Tide 33, Melton
got three then Marlow added two.
Marlow came back with 11 and a
first down; Melton's nine and
Wilson's two made another first
down at. Auburn's 39. And Mar­velous
Bob chugged 39 yards al­most
untouched for the third TD.
Lutz missed the point.
Auburn came back, going to the
Tide 12 before Brown stopped the
threat, breaking up a Dooley-to-
Hayley pass.
When the Tide got their second
roughing-the-kicker penalty, it
started Auburn to its touchdown.
It put the ball on the Bama 44.
Dooley made two, then another
15-yard roughing penalty gave
Auburn a first down.
* * *
BOBBY JORDAN lost nine
then Coptsias got one. Dooley
l streaked left end for 12. Dooley
passed for 12 to Hayley and a first
down at the 13. Auburn lost five
for off-sides before Dooley passed
10 yards to Coptsias.
With the ball on the eight-yard
line Williams rammed right
tackle and shrugged off three
Bama tacklers before he reached
the end zone. Davis split the goal
and it was 19-7. Auburn spirits
were high.
Bama didn't quit and had the
last score in six plays. Marlow
brought tlie kick-off back 10
yards. He got one and Melton got
five at end. Wflson made 19 be­fore
Dooley stopped him. Lary r e ­covered
Marlow's fumble for a
five-yard gain. Melton made 18 at
left tackle to the Tiger 22.
Marlow then scampered 22'
yards unmolested for his twelfth
touchdown of the season. Lutz
missed the point and it ended, 25-
7. Neither team scored in the last
quarter. They were experiment­ing
and playing a lot of the sen­iors.

for the Delts. The SPE squad was
the champion of League II,
sweeping all league competition
for six straight wins before the
play off disaster.
* * *
ALPHA TAU OMEGA, winner
of League IV, met Alpha Psi
Monday and turned back the Lea­gue
III champs, 7-0. The Psi's had
conquered Alpha Gamma Rho
earlier in the afternoon to decide
the League III winner as the op­ponent
for the red-hot ATO lads.
After downing Gamma Rho, 6-0,
the Psi outfit was forced to bow
as ATO hurler Fletcher Allen
connected with Jimmy Kitchens
for the fatal blow. Allen's dead­ly
right arm' found its mark
again for the PAT, with Foots
Laney on the receiving end.
The second lapse of the double-elimination
finals put ATO up
against Sigma Pi Tuesday.
Contests played last week in­cluded
a Pi Kappa Phi forfeit
win over Kappa Sigma and an­other
forfeit by Theta Chi to
Omega Tau Sigma. Smith and
Stephenson scored in Lambda
Chi's third triumph, a 13-6 edg­ing
of Pi Kappa Phi. A 2-0 blank­ing
handed to Tau Kappa Epsilon
by Phi Delta Theta supplied the
TKE's with their seventh setback
of the year.
NAVY GOT the nod as the Lea­gue
I champion of the Indepen­dent
Leagues, winding up the
.gridiron season with five wins
and two losses. The only schedul­ed
game in League I last week
awarded the Bobcats a forfeit
over Delta Tau Delta.
League II champs, Auburn In­dependent
Organization, made the
week very profitable by grabbing
the title-clinching tilt from the
second-place Rebels, and another
jrom the cellar-dwelling Delta
Chi's. The AIO barely squeezed
by the never-say-die Confeder­ates,
8-7. Summerford provided
all eight points for the Organiza­tion
unit, while Harrell picked
up the lone Southern score for
the losers. The other AIO victory
was an altogether different story,
as the champs stamped a 25-2
brand on the Delts. McKay was
the big gun in the outburst, gath­ering
an 18-point total for the af­ternoon.
THE HELLCATS split the
week's slate, stopping Delta Chi,
9-0, and yielding to the Rebels-by
a 12-6 score. Prater, 'Cat left
end, accounted for all the victor's
scoring in the first and final
quarters of the Delt game.
Westminster maintained their
lead over, Wesley Foundation, get­ting
two. games by forfeits. Can­terbury
arid Wesley were on the
losing end, of the forfeited games,
as Westminster'took the Church
League's No. 1 spot.

a warning to hasten future^reme-dial
measures."
Pete Newsom, freshman-'from
Columbus, Ga., commented, "I
wasn't so lucky—my roommate
was at supper and didn't have a
chance to get anything out.- Bet^
ter preventative measures should
have been taken. Everybody has
been wonderful in helping us out,
and school will go on, I guess."
Merrell" Northcutt, freshman
from Robertsdale, was in Bir­mingham
when the fire broke
out. "Hard damned luck—kinda
messes you up in school," he r e ­marks.
"It could have been a lot worse
if it had happened while we were
asleep," said Billy Ray Robinson,
freshman from Florence.
Injury-Riddled Plainsmen Skunk Glom
Before Frenzied Throng Of Seven Fans
By Tom Duke
The injury-riddled Plainsman Plainsmen won the hearts
of a tremendous crowd of seven persons Wednesday, on .the
field adjacent to the military hangar as they came from
behind to smother rebound hopes of the Glomerata Graft
Wave, 14-0.
Champions of the Weekly News­paper
Conference for the past 78
years, the unbeaten, untied and
unscored-upon Plainsmen went
into this, the initial encounter of
their rugged 1951 season, a heavy
favorite, despite the loss of most
members of the first team line-up.

LOST FOR the day were the
needle-threading passes, inspira­tional
end runs, booming punts,
jarring downfield blocks, earth-shaking
tackles, upright-splitting
placements, growling guard gal­lops,
sterling pass interceptions,
and clever poses for photographers
of "Terrible Tom" Duke, stellar
Plainsman backfield ace, who was
sidelined due to injuries. The dash­ing
young rake, watching the game
from a wheel chair, was suffering
from elephantiasis, a punctured
lung, chronic calcification. of the
toenails on his right foot, an in­growing
ear, and a bad case of the
WHY-ARE THESE PEOPLE UNHAPPY?
THINKING DARK thoughts, scowling, and muttering, "We
didn't wanta win anyway" are members of the badly-bruised
Glomerata Graft Wave football team, pictured just after they had
been blown to Kingdom Come by a wiry Plainsman eleven. Posed
stylishly in the background are two of the yearbook's cheerleaders.

long enough at half-time, however,
to amuse the crowd by scratching
himself in various places, and
humming. »
Jim "Bone-Crusher" Everett and
Tom "Mangier" Morrissey, co-captains
for the newspaper combo,
flipped with representatives from
the yearbook team just before
game-time, to determine who was

who was to defend which end of

Plainsmen won. Morrissey, look-ng.

THE GAME proved to be a pre­cision
symphony of well-planned
naneuvers on the Plainsman's part,
vith members of the newspaper
•quad acting cs sharp notes. Guess
vho ware the flats. The. only
wints of discord in the melody
vere provided by Glomerata play-
TS, who rudely bit opposing play­ers
in the clinches, mpved the ball
when the referee wasn't looking,
muttered ugly words, and spit on
the playing field.
It was Walt "Bronko" Everidge
to Phil "Hamhock" Harrison for
the game's first touchdown. Harri-
• son trotted around and around the
field several times, knocking
j Glomerata players askew, before
crossing the double stripes. Mor­rissey,
yawning, made the extra
point with ease.
Newsreel cameras ground as
Dave "Fatal Foot" Laney lassoed
mother Everidge pass in the
checkerboard, to make it 13-0.
Morrissey, of course, made the
?oint after touchdown.
\ Several other Plainsman touch-
'owns were called back by the
officials, who, incidentally, were
observed accepting money from
Graft Wave leaders during the pre-game
warm-up session.
The only injury incurred during
the fray was suffered by Plains­man
cheerleader Jody "Iron Lung"
Guthrie, who received a broken
bicuspid during a third-quarter
"B-E-A-T Beat Glomerata" yell,
when cohort Gay "Tra La" Bird-song
laid an excited "elbow to her
mandible.
