'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS'
Annual Cake Race
Set December 6;
Plans Announced
Plans for the 21st annual Omi-cron
Delta Kappa-Wilbur Hutsell
Cake Race are now being made,
according to an announcement
made Thursday by Harrell Josey,
race committee chairman. The
race will begin at 3 p;m. Wednes­day,
Dec. 6.
One of the oldest traditions on
the Auburn campus, the Cake
Race is a 2.7-mile run which must
be made by every freshman who
is physically able. Only those
freshmen who receive medical ex­cuses
from the infirmary will be
allowed to stay out of the race.
The winner of the race will be
awarded a kiss from Miss Auburn
and a mammoth cake. Smaller
cakes will be given to the next 24
men to finish.
A cup will be given to the fra­ternity
whose first four men
across the finish line have the
lowest number of points. In ad­dition,
100 points will be granted
toward the All-Sports trophy
which is given to the fraternity
with the highest number of ath­letic
points at the end of the year.
The idea of the Cake Race was
originated back in 1929 by Coach
Wilbur Hutsell, Auburn track
mentor. In an effort to develop
new talent for the varsity track
team, Coach Hutsell evolved the
plan, which has been sponsored
since 1931 by Omicron Delta Kap­pa,
national leadership fraternity.
Whitey O v e r t o n , Auburn's
Olympic ace, holds the record for
the Cake Race. In 1945, he covered
the course in 16 minutes and 46
seconds to establish the present
record.
"Since the Cake Race is less
than a month off," said Josey, "it
is important that all able-bodied
freshmen begin training imme­diately.
I understand that many
rats have been practicing for some
time. These students will leave
the others far behind unless they
get busy at once," Josey continued.
"With the largest freshman
class in Auburn's history, we are
anticipating an unusually good rat
race. However, the most impor­tant
thing is not how many peo­ple
enter the race but how many
finish. Obviously, few freshmen
w^U finish the contest unless they
get in good physical shape through
intensive training. Let me urge |
all freshmen to begin today get­ting
ready for the Cake Race,"
Josey concluded.
Five Coeds In Race For Miss Auburn Title;

Webb Announces
Proposed Changes
In Election Set-Up
Recommendations for changes
in election regulations and proce­dure
were anounced today by Dick
Webb, senior representative to the
Student Executive Cabinet. Webb
was appointed chairman of a com­mittee
by Cabinet President Joe
Pilcher to investigate the possi­bility
of a change after last week's
freshman class and Miss Auburn
elections were declared void.
Serving with Webb were Pete
Masters, sophomore representative
to the Cabinet, and Gene Allred,
Cabinet vice-president. Their re­commendations,
which are aimed
to eliminate future fraud in elec­tions,
will be made to the Cabinet
this week.
Recommendations are:
1) Ballot boxes shall be con­structed
of wood. The size of
opening for ballot depositing shall
be a maximum of % inch in
width and five inches in length.
Boxes shall be locked before polls
open and opened only to count
ballots.^
2) A minimum of three poll
workers shall be present at each
poll at all times throughout an
election. At least one of the work­ers
shall be a member of the Po­litical
Activities Committee. One
member will check a voter's name
before a ballot is issued. One
member will issue ballots. A
member of the PAC will super­vise
the poll and watch for any in­dication
of fraud.
3) Ballots shall be numbered
serially and shall have detachable
stubs. Ballot and stub will be
numbered identically. The stub
will be retained by the voter, but
his name shall not be recorded
with the number.'
4) At least three senior mem­bers
of the Cabinet shall be pre­sent
when ballot boxes are open­ed
and votes tabulated.
5) No ballots shall be destroyed
for at least one week after an
election. During this period, any
voter may check his ballot to see
that his vote was not changed.
6) PAC members will be paid
$1.50 per day on election days.
Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to
12:05 p.m. and from 12:15 p.m. to
4:30 p.m. Each member of the PAC
will be in charge of his poll and
will be responsible for all ballots
issued to him by the PAC chair­man.
7) All information discovered by
the PAC and senior members of
the Cabinet and thought to be
detrimental or slanderous to any
candidate or individual shall be
kept confidential.
8) Each voter shall sign his
name to a list with the following
statement at the top of each sheet:
"I hereby certify that I am a
qualified voter and have not com­mitted
any fraudulent act in exer­cising
my voting privilege." The
signature may be placed in any
blank on the list to eliminate re­lationship
between the voter's
name and ballot number.
9) Ballots from each box shall
be tabulated separately. The num­ber
of ballots shall be checked
with the number of voters' signa­tures.
.
close at 4:30 p.m. Ag students will
vote at polls in Comer Hall; vet­erinary
medicine students at Cary
Hall; engineering students at
Ramsay Hall, and other students
at Main Gate. Three men will be
stationed at each polling place at
all times, according to Joe Pilch­er,
Cabinet president.
Vote tabulation in last week's
election w a s suspended when
folded groups of ballots, similarly
marked, were found in the boxes.
A Cabinet committee is now in­vestigating
irregularities in vot­ing,
and another committee has
been appointed to draw up new •
rules governing the conduct of
elections to prevent the recur­rence
of such an incident.
In tomorrow's election num­bered
ballots, wooden ballot
boxes with locks, and completely
accurate poll list will be used.

A school boy's desperate attempt to
Win a Game
changed the whole game of football!
A scoreless game was in its last minutes. The tiny group of spec-tators
huddled nearby stood enveloped in a. fragile tension as the ball was
kicked from the south end of the. field, made an arc over the two teams
and descended toward a husky young man in the backfield. They watched
as he reached up and caught the ball in his large, strong hands, then wait­ed
expectantly for the kick by which he would attempt to put the ball
across the opponents' goal, thus scoring for his team.
* i
Suddenly, however, the boy fucked the ball under his arm, and in
violation of the prevailing rules, ran the length of the field, clearing ail
opponents, and crossed the goal just as the school bell signaled the end
of the .game.
The occurrence was at first censured, but soon the advantages and
excitement of carrying the ball was realized and the rules changed to in­corporate
the practice in the popular game. T h u s in 1823 an English
schoolboy, in a desperate attempt to win a game for his team, changed
the whole game of football.

Student Council on Religious Activities
Presents Program Series During Year
By Bob Swift
Ranking high in merit for service to the student body is
the Student Council on Religious Activities. Now in its third
year of organization, the Council is laying plans for a series
of religious programs to be presented during the coming year.
The purpose of the organization is to provide a functional
organ for promoting and sponsor­ing
campus-wide religious activi­ties
in which operational coord­ination
is needed to give benefit
to the students.
It is not the purpose of the
Council to promote an inter-de­nominational
church, or any
movement for the adoption of a
common faith. Any activity of the
Council which interferes in any
way with the religious conscience
of any group represented on the
Council permits that group to r e ­frain
from participation in the
activity.'
Membership of the Council
consists of representatives from
the campus religious groups, stu­dent
ministers, and representa­tives
from the Executive Cabinet,
W.S.G.A., fraternities and social
groups, and the college adminis­tration.
Ministers of Auburn's
churches are admitted to the
Council as non-voting members.
Two of the major activities of
the Council each year are Reli­gious
Emphasis Week and the
World Student Service Fund. Last
year's Religious Emphasis Week
was recognized as the most suc­cessful
program of its kind ever
held on t h e campus. A por­tion
of the Campus Drive for
charitable funds is donated to the
World'Student Service Fund.
Under the leadership of Harry
Golemon, president of the Coun­cil,
plans for. the immediate fu­ture
include religious movies,
speakers of the Religion in Life
Series, Christmas hospitality for
foreign students, and a Christmas
pageant for the December wo­men's
convocation.

Is The Iteefi6n Fraud A D§g$ Ajfegtro$sf
Friday morning, like everyone else, we
felt that Thursday's election fraud con­stituted
a black mark on the integrity of
the Auburn student body. Certainly it is a
bad note when the Miss Aub.urn and fresh­man
elections, which, along with the Miss
Homecoming balloting, have consistently
been the most democratic elections held
on campus during pur stay, are subject to
the taint of fraud. And, to put it bluntly,
we thought the situation stunk.
However, after cooling off, we doubt
that it will prove to be an albatross around
the neck of campus elections. Rather, we
belieye that this election has given a
graphic representation of the fallacies in
the present polling set-up. To date, we
have noted many loosely conducted elec­tions—
last year, Thie Plainsman .carried an
editorial pointing put the faults evidenced
by the fall general .elections and a few
steps were taken to improve the set-up.
Hpw.ever, much was left undone, as this
election so well proved. -
As a resuljt of this voided election, a
committee was set up by the president of
the Student Executive Cabinet to review
the election rules and procedures and pro.-
pose constructive changes in them. The re­commendations
of this committee are to
be presented to the Cabinet and, if they
meet with its approval, will be incorporat­ed
in the by-laws of the undergraduate
constitution. The possible improvement
promised by this move shpuld more than
offset the detrimental effect of the fraud.
In sjiort, it may turn .out to be the best
tiling that has happened to Auburn elec­tions
in a long time—guite often, the way,
to progress has to be pointed out for us by
a distasteful situation.
After sitting in on a couple of meetings
of the Cabinet's investigating committee,
we're convinced that the investigation will
come to naught. In fact we don't believe
that the committee hearings will prove
anything except that the election was
fraudulent, this being evident even before
the investigation began.
We feel that the fraud was a hurried,
unthinking action of a student or students,
committed when a quick "box stuffing"
opportunity was presented. Certainly the
method of stuffing would point to a spoht-
A New Constitution
At present a committee of the Student
Executive Cabinejt is at work considering
rewriting the present undergraduate cpn-stitutipn.
The results of this body's, con­sideration
concern the entire Auburn stu­dent
body, for a new constitution, one to
replace the present ambiguous, even con­tradictory,
document, is a thing to be de­sired.
aneous, ill-conceived attempt, in that the
bogus ballots were folded together rather
than separately. In fact, the poorly con­cealed
attempt causes us to wonder if per­haps
the "stuffing" was made purposely
obvious in order to hurt, rather than aid,
the candidate.
We doubt that the investigation will be
able to determine even this, although we
do say that if by chance the committee can
c,pme- up with definite proof as to who the
offenders were, appropriate disciplinary
action should be taken.
.Of course, in every distasteful situation,
all concerned begin to look around for a
place to put the blame—the search for a
scapegoat begins almost as soon as the sit­uation
occurs. In this case, we wonder
where the blame can be laid. If to condemn
the Political Activities Committee for em­ploying
methods used since 1946 is justifi­able,
then we can say that it was at fault
for letting the bogusballots get thrust into
the box in the first place.
Or, we might blame the whole thing on
the registrar's office for not making poll
lists available to the PAC until the morn­ing
of the election. (And then the lists were
not arrange/di by schools as is the voting
setup.) But then we feel we'd look a little
ridiculous accusing Mr. Edwards, already
snowed under by pre-registration prepara­tions,
of purposely throwing a monkey
wrench into the legal machinery of a popu­larity
contest.
Or, since it is practically irrefutable to
say that the fraud was perpetrated by stu­dents),
we might just blame the whole
student body and call them collectively a
bunch of dirty, stinking, election-throwers..
But then, we suspect that we might be ac­cusing
a number of innocent persons (in­cluding
ourselves), so we'll take the re­maining
attitude that the situation has
come up, there's nothing we can do abput
it now, and it js best to forget past troubles
and take steps to prevent their happening
again.
The work pf th,e Cabinet's election rules
and procedures committee is the thing to
look to—in the work of this committee, and
the Student Executive Cabinet when the
committee's recommendations are brought
up, there is great promise of profiting from
past mistakes.
Ad Libbing
. . . .1
By Graham McTeer
At this writing, we only know that the
committee has held two meetings and has
at least spent quite a bit of time on the
propositipn. The import of its job certainly
warrants this diligence.
We don't know what will come of it but
we will be watching for some good, con­structive
results. Many things, all benefi­cial
to Auburn and its students can be ac­complished
here.
To The New Governor And Legislature
Speaking for Auburn, Tfre Bulletin ex­tends
to each of you hearty congratulations
upon your fine election victories. All of us
here are looking forward to four years of
sound, progressive government under the
next administration. We f e e l that Ala­bama's
government will be in hands cap­able
of meeting the needs of the^times-
Each of you probably already is survey­ing
the state's needs. In that connection,
we'd like to mention ope that you might
otherwise .overlook- If you could have been
here Wednesday night to hear the suberb
performance of the world-renowned tenor,
Lauritz Melchipr, you would recognize the
need of which we speak-
( A.P.I, has no auditorium. It is forced
to use a surplus metal-type army building
for concerts, lectures and other events
which attract large crowds. The building
in no wise fills the needs of an auditorium.
On Wednesday evening students and fac­ulty
filled every one of the 210P chairs in
the barn-like structure. All the standing
room was taken. After the building was
jam papked beyond capacity, at least 1000
persons were stranded outside. If you had
been present ypu no doubt would have
thought what a pity it is that Auburn has
no auditorium large enough to let these
people in. That's what we thought, too.
Pop't you suppose you can find some
means of financing the cost of an auditor­ium
at A.P.I.? —JL.ee County Bulletin

During the yearly football season, it's hard, in the course of
a week, not to find, a column or article in Southern papers
concerning Auburn. It's usually centered around the n.ever-say-die
spirit of the team or student body, when the echoes of "War
Eagle" can be heard long after another Tiger loss has been
recorded.
McTeer
He continues,
About the best piece in this
vein that has come to our atten­tion
appeared in the New Orleans
States prior to the Auburn-Tu-lane
game and was written by Pie
Dufour, sports columnist and Tu-lane
graduate.
Starting off sentimentally, Du­four
w r i t e s:
"I've a l w a ys
I had a soft spot
in my heart for
I Auburn. I guess
I most T u 1 a n e
folks do, whet-
| her they be of.
I firially c o n-
| nected with the
.'• university o r
I just camp fol­lowers
of the
Gre.enies."
"Auburn has been
up, Auburn has been down. Au­burn
has always had wonderful
spirit and this spirit captures the
imagination of foes as well as
friends, and of course the neu­trals.
And frequently Auburn
pulls an upset.
"Once upon a time Auburn was
a gridiron giant in Dixie. In those
days it was an honor to play Au­burn.
"And when Auburn was a giant
Tulane was a pigskin pigmy. Tu-
' lane's football efforts were puny
and its prestige on the gridiron
just a notch below negligible.
"And those were the days when
Auburn gave Tulane a chance
and gave Tulane games necessary
to bring Tulane into Dixie pro­minence."
The writer goes on to tell about
Tulane's turning down a football
contract with Notre Dame, partly
because the dates offered by
Notre Dame conflicted with long-scheduled
Auburn dates and that
efforts to get the Aub'urn dates
switched could not be worked out
because of pur other commit­ments.
Dufour is wise enough to agree
that there may have been other
less pure motives involved, but
says "it is a wonderful tribute to
an opponent of long standing that
Tulane wouldn't kick Auburn
around while it's down to' clinch
the Notre Dame dates."
The writer's concluding para­graphs
sum up, and rather well,
too, the attitude whi.ch is held by
many students and graduates of
Southern, and particularly SEC
colleges: "Aub.urn—I like Au­burn.
I like to see my team play
Aub.urn. For Auburn, win, lose or
draw, has the spirit.
"They used to say that every
man has two countries—his own
and France. You can say that of
Auburn. Every Southern colleg­ian
has two schools—his own and
Auburn."

It is this paper's policy to pub­lish
all letters received if they
be signed and stay within the
bounds of common decency. This
is surely a democratic practice,
but it sometimes causes undesir­able
letters to be printed.
An example of this is today's
letter, "Female Viewpoint." It is
hard for us to conceive how a
student capable of writing a lejt-ter
so correct in grammar, punc­tuation
and syntax, could be so
completely ignorant of the sub­ject.
I haye often heard the ques­tions
in paragraph five asked in
jest, byt never knew anyone
wpuld do so seriously. The letter
is so completely removed from
the true question that it can

Voters, Too, Can Be Classified;
Politicians Take The Spotlight
By Jim Everett
Voters,;among others, have never been truly appreciated int
our democratic state—except by politicians. Now it is really
appalling that no warm little tribute to the poll-goers appeared
in the state's papers following the recent election.
Considering the election only a formality, I wondered why
the masses went to the polls to do
their bit. However, after observing.
happy family groups, women,
f a r m e r s
and politicians
at various bal-
1 o 't i n g spots,
their motives
were obvious.
In fact, they
fall intp defi­nite
classes.
The people of
an agricultural
Everett nature evident­ly
arise before daybreak, milk old
IBossie, slop the hogs, put shoes on
the kids, eat breakfast and still
have time to read the latest bulle­tin
from the extension service be­fore
leaving. Once at the cross­roads
shanty containing ballots,
the local justice of the peace and
a pot-bellied stove, the family
(usually containing eight or more
hands) piles out of the wagon for
an all-day picnic.
Tobacco juice drips from the
farmers' stained beards as they
whittle, praise Talmadge, damn
the boll weevil and tell shady
jokes. Dirty little kids fight, pull
the girls' pig tails, and put rocks
into the ballot box. Hefty farm
women in their mail-order hats
talk about the new parson's wife.
But none doubt the election out­come.
On the other extreme is the I-like-
to-operate-machines group.
Inhabiting polls in cities which are
blessed with voting machines, the
mechanical fiend chuckles as he
ousts Truman with the flick of a
switch. He lpses his inferiority
complex as he encloses himself
in the curtained booth and a
wicked gleam is in his eye when
he masters the complicated mech­anism.
(This type person is usual­ly
a \ yes man in a large office.
Likes to fix clocks, percolators,
play with Junior's electric train.)
Possibly the most enthusiastic
group of voters is the this-is-my-first-
timers. Telling all their
friends and exhibiting a false in­terest
in the election, they usually
don their new suit, pin on their
Crommelin button, and go with
Mother to the polls. However, they
are disappointed when no one of­fers
to buy their vote, gets shot,
or kicks a Negro in the teeth.
The most inspired voter is the
box stuffer. Heeding advice to get
out and vote—"It's your duty"—
this person not only votes, but
votes prpfusely. (Members of this
group were under strict parental
discipline when young, forced to
attend Sunday School, not allowed
to play cowboy, climb trees or
cuss. When mature they have an
insane desire to pull a shady deal
or a crooked act; however, not to
the extent of murder.)
But the most humorous group
to watch is the politicians. To
prove that he's happily married,
the politcian brings his family. He
grins, looks confident, kisses ba­bies,
and declares that he is win-,
ning even though he has only 10
votes and a terrific hangover
from last night's party. H»s battery
of photographers take pictures.
Nevertheless, even though with
his public, he prefers to be home
in bed.
Having voted, all members of
the previously mentioned groups
immediately forget their demo­cratic
duties. They do not follow
the action of their man when he
is in office. Not until the rabble
rousing starts again do they think
abput voting.

Female Viewpoint
Dear Editor:
I have been following closely
the exchange of opinions - and
views stated in letters written to
you on the "Color Line" subject.
I have noticed that all the letters
expressed the male point of view,
so I would like to express a fe­male
point of view.
It is true that we ride the same
public conveyances as Negroes,
but it is also true that there is a
definite place for them and they
stay in that place. They most cer­tainly
do not sit with the whites,
as would be necessary if they at­tended
the same classes and slept
in the same buildings and ate at
the same tables.
Mr. Schermer is of the opinion
And then there was the blunder
a certain radio announcer made in
announcing a special sale of house
paint. What he meant to say was,
"Friends, you can't alf.ord to miss
this big sale on outdp.or house
paint,*' while what he actually
did say was, "Friends, you can't
afford tp miss this big sale of
outhouse door paint."
A committee to study ways of im­proving
the elections set-up was
appointed at the special meeting
of the Student Executive Cabi­net
Thursday night. I'd like to
make one suggestion to the group.
Why couldn't some system be
devised for marking or tagging
those people who have already
voted. Su ch a system would eli­minate
the irritation to voters
caused by being repeatedly asked
to vote by' the same people, and
at the same time it wpuld pre­vent
possible embarrassment to
candidates from the same source.
One possible way of marking
voters would be to issue with the
baljpts the type of lapel tags that
are sometimes given at script
dances. These are not easily dup­licated
and could not be trans- •
ferred because they can be re­moved
only by tearing them.
The candidates' work in to­morrow's
election would be great­ly
simplified if freshmen would
j.wear., their rat caps. Asking a
Isenior to vote for Jimmy Block­head
for freshman representative
can prove rather embarrassing to
a freshman.
Lauritz Melchoir endeared him­self

last week to a degree that few
concert stars have ever done.

Not only did he have the Au­burn

that the moment a person steps
out into the business world the
first thing placed on his should­ers
is the Negro problem. I say
that this would hold true in ap­proximately
one-fourth of one per
cent of the time. I have lived in
the South all my life and I can't
recall the first time when any
great disturbance has been caused
due to this situation.
Naturally, an extension of A.P.I,
for Negroes would be rather ex­pensive,
but why couldn't the
state cut down on a lot of the
foolish spending it does and give
the money to thi.'J undertaking?
There's more than one way to

Ask any Southern boy who has
a sister if he would be willing for
her to date or perhaps marry a
Negro. You know, well as I, what
the answer would be. Ask this
same bpy if he would like to date
a Negro girl. I'm sure his answer
would be the same to both ques­tions.
Ask a Southern girl how
she would feel about this type of
dating. You would again get the
same answer that you got to the
other two questions-
You will note that I say ask a
Southern boy or girl instead of a
Northern boy or girl. I say this
because this is the South and the
Southern people have a right to
set their own standards. If the
Northerner doesn't wish to join
in our way of living, then let him
go back North where he can get
what he wants. We in the South
don't try to tell the North what- to
do about the Negro problem and
they certainly don't have any
right to try to tell us.
I seriously doubt that there will
ever be a Negro enrolled at Au­burn,
b.ut if there is, I don't think
he or she will remain very long.
Yours truly,
Jane Scott

Now, while we're waiting for the
Helium Age to arrive in the 8:15
H-Bomb Express, we can be re­pairing
the damage caused by
zealous manufacturers in this, the
Gadget Age.
Inventors have come out with a
number of lulus—and a few lul-lus—
during the past several years.
Some of these multilus get the of­ficial
Moore Stamp of Approval.
Others are too potentially danger­ous
for public consumption.
Take those little stilletos, dis-armingly
called "fender guides,"
which protrude their tentacular
selves from the fenders of low-slung
automobiles, j u s t • high
enough to wave two inches above
the curb, thus permitting free and
easy scrapage of the tires. Reports
are pouring in from ladies all over
the nation, attesting to the hose-snagging
ability of the guides. The
innocent-looking wires reputedly
do more to stockings than Duz
does to everything.
Another hazard, this one a not-so-
newey, is the collar stay. I, too,
was a member of the Spiffy Secret
Circle. Then one day the house
caught fire and, dressing hurried­ly,
I snapped on the collar stay
upside down, and vice versa.

the scars, telling curious tourists
that "that's where a snake bit me."
My uncle used to know of a
Hardheaded Lady who wouldn't
believe two and two is four unless
you proved it to her. She bought a

she fell asleep. ,Had it not been
for the quick thinking of a wood-chopper,
who happened to be
passing through a few hours later
on his way home from work, she
probably would have drowned. It
really wasn't altogether the fault
of the ball-point pen, I suppose,
but can't Congress do something to
protect Men and Hardheaded La­dies
from the evils of gadgetry?
Scientists, statesmen and shoe-shine
boys alike proclaimed the

had one in his Studebaker; he'd
goose a button and out would flop
a cigarette, already lighted and
literally hot to go. He insisted
that it was the niftiest little pretty
he ever did see, and he never lost
an opportuniy to show it off.
One day the doggone thing
went berserk. It started erupting
cigarettes faster and faster and
fasterandfasterandfaster until the
entire floor of the car was covered.
The Man Next Door's wife, always
one to criticize, said she smelled
smoke (well I reckon she did!)
and would he please let her out
immediately. Instead of doing that
he just kept right on driving—
the smouldering fags had piled up
to the level of the rear-view nar­row
by this time—until he reached
the Gulf of Mexico. Then he drove
right out into the water and if he
hasn't stopped he's probably still
going. I didn't actually see this,
you understand, but an Eyewit­ness
told me about it, and he .said
every bubble which came up was
filled with smoke. That must have
been a sight.
Yes, something must be done.
about these menaces to society, the
gadget inventors. I heapd a rumor
about two crackpots up in North
Carolina who rigged up a flying
jenny which would go 35 miles an
hour. Why, a man can't live going
that fast!
Moo-Schoole de Dixie
Dear Editor:
There has been a move on the
campus for the last few quarters
to*change the name of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute to a
more refined and cultured title.
Some of these advocates of "A
more euphonic monicker for A.P.I.
Crusade" would like to see the
Institute bear the name of "Au­burn
University." This name
would be more appropriate to a
campus f u l l of rosy-cheeked
maidens frolicking to the melo­dies
played by a group of anemic
playboys resting against the side
of a large cream-colored conver­tible.
Maybe this crusade has its
merits, but let us not forget that
a student goes to school to acquire
an education, not to brandish an
ornate watch-fob reminding the
lower gentry that he has obtained
his culture in a large university
dealing in the liberal arts.
What would be the advantage
of changing the name of our
school? Would it sound better?

Auburn-Georgia Grid Meeting Saturday
Will Continue South's Oldest Rivalry
By Kokomo McArdle
This week maybe "be kind to
cats" week, but the Auburn Ti­gers
aren't looking for the Geor­gia
Bulldogs to pull any punches
when the two teams meet at Co­lumbus
Saturday. They will be
meeting for the 54th time in the
South's oldest grid series. The
Tigers took the first battle back
in 1892, 10-0, in a game that was
the first to be played in Dixie.
Since then Auburn has won 21,
lost 26 and tied 6.
The Tigers have had a week's
rest after seven consecutive set­backs
and hope the lay-off will
give them a spark against the
once-beaten Bulldogs. Auburn
Coach Earl Brown said that last
spring Georgia looked like the
biggest and the strongest of the
Plainsmen's 1950 opponents and
that they were well equipped with
speed and depth. He believes their
record of only one loss proves they
still have their springtime quali­ties.
The Tiger workouts last week
were relatively light after 10
weeks of long, hard scrimmages.
Blocking, mostly of the pass-protecting
variety, got most of the
attention. The backfield was giv­en
off-days Friday and Saturday.
The line took a vacation Satur­day
after a blocking drill Fri­day.
Auburn appears to be in as good
shape as they have been all year.
Junior Right Guard Jim Brooks
has been dropped for scholastic
reasons, but Left End Tommy Ed­wards,
who was out of action
against Mississippi State, has re­covered
from a back injury and
will be fit to go against the Bull­dogs.
The Auburn defense, except for
a whirlwind 34-point second quar­ter
by Vanderbilt, has yielded but
28 points in the combined first
halves of all this year's games,
but the offense hasn't been much
help, scoring only three times in
seven games.
The Tigers have scored only
once (against Florida) since a 14-
point effort in the season's opener
with Wofford.
Left Halfback Bobby Golden
and Fullback Jim McGowen both
are near the four-yard per try
mark in the running department
despite the. Auburn low scoring
record. Fullback Charlie Langner,
who last year gained 405 yards in
111 carries to lead the Tiger
ground-gainers, has been ham­pered
with a sprained knee but
will be ready to go full speed for
the first time Saturday.
McGowen, the South's leading
punter, has averaged 41.6 yards
in 36 kicks, but he won't outclass
Georgia's Pat Field, who has av­eraged
over 40 yards per kick.
Field did better than 42 yards per
boot against Alabama in the Le­gion
Field mud.

Bulldogs, Tiger Foes Saturday,
Lack Top-Notch " T " Quarterback
By Jim Minter
Sports Editor
Georgia Bed and_Black
Georgia's Bulldogs, already more than halfway through
one of the toughest football schedules in t h e school's history,
a r e still looking for a top-notch T-formation quarterback to
spark a potentially powerful team.
The Bulldogs sport a record of t h r e e wins, t h r e e ties and
one loss for the 1950 season. A 27-
0 upset victory over a powerful
Maryland eleven at the start of
the season shot Wallace Butts and
his sochomore-spangled s q u ad
into the limelight, but a 7-7 tie
with little St. Mary's the next
week end- sent them back to pre­season
ratings.
Since that time the Athens ma­chine
has rolled over Mississippi
State and Boston College and
fought to deadlocks with both
LSU and .North Carolina.
Senior Halfback Billy Mixon
paces a fairly effective running
attack with Fullback Fred Bilyeu
and Right Half Lukie Brunson
bolstering the ground game. Mai
Cook, towering quarterback who
was expected to develop into a
dangerous passer this season, has
failed to reach expected form.

hard to believe that a large per­centage
of the student body is
hare-lipped. Would another name
sound' more sophisticated? Then
let us call our alma mater Moo-schoole

Let us not forget that this col­lege
was primarily dedicated to
instruction in the agricultural
and mechanical arts, and instruc­tion
in these fields is still empha­sized
by the school over the more
liberal courses. A more approp­riate
term than Alabama Poly­technic
Institute could not have
been chosen in light of the stipu­lations

performers as Dick Steele and
Marion Campbell at tackles, and
Jeff Burgamy, Nich Feher and
Rocco Principe at guards, the big
red wall has been hard to crack.
Linebackers Derwent Langley
and Art DeCarlo constitute one of
the best combinations in the South.
Butts can also field a corps of
young ends capable of holding
their own. Sophomores Robert
West, John Carson, a n d Harry
Babcock are making a first-string
bid in their first year of varsity
competition.
Together with the fir.e running
of Billy Mixon, the sensational
punting of Pat Field has been the
outstanding mark of the current
campaign. The booming kicks of
Pennsylvania Pat have time and
time again pulled the Bulldogs
out of tight spots and kept the
enemy out of striking range.

yards, is one of the most consis­tent
punters ever to play at Geor­gia.
His seaspp average is above
40 yards per kick, despite the fact
that he stands fjv.e yards further
back than jthe average punter.
Coach Wallace Bujtts takes this
precaution to prevent blocked
kicks. ...
Holiday, Schmoliday
Dear Editor:
- There are a few questions that
have been bothering us greatly.
Why is it that we can't go home
Thanksgiving? Why was it decid­ed,
without consulting the student
body, that we should take "our
holidays" the next week end? We
realize that it will be good—and
only fitting—that everyone be on
the campus for the Homecoming
celebration on November 25, but
why did the persons responsible
for selecting the Homecoming
date choose the Thanksgiving
week end? Were these persons so
short-sighted as not to be able to
forsee what this might mean to
the Auburn students and faculty?
Take for example the students
and faculty that might have
brothers, sisters or other mem­bers
of their family in other col­leges
and universities. Most of
these schools will observe their
holidays on the 23rd, and by the
30th we will have missed seeing
them and having fellowship with
them.
What about the families that
have reunions on this day? With
most schools closing a week early,
Auburn students and faculty will
have to miss theirs. You know, as
well as we, that with the world
situation as it is today, this might
be the last peaceful Thanksgiving
together in many a year to come—
and the last Thanksgiving for
some.
Then above all—what about
those that attend special Thanks­giving
services at their "home
church" with their families? We
won't be able to do it this year.
Not only that, but we haven't
even been given Thanksgiving
day off at all. Are we to rush to
our respective churches between
classes and quizzes to give a h,ur-ride
"thank ycu" to God for all
of our many blessings"
It does seem to us that to give
thanks for all He has given us in
the past, should take a while
longer than this. Even though we
may be on the brink of another
world war, we have a great deal
to thank our Maker for—if for
nothing else, that we are alive to
give thanks! Perhaps even this
Thanksgiving we should spend a
little longer in prayer and ask for
a lasting peace
Should a few persons decide for
a vast number that this year
these things are denied?
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mr. James F. Ryckely

6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nov. 15, 1950 RAT DUKE CARRIES FOR THREE
Kokomo's Korner By Bill McArdle
Data On The 1950 Tigers
Personal poop on 1950 Auburn gridders reveals:
Fullbacks Jim Jeffers and Charlie Langner, and Left Half­backs
Bobby Golden and Bobby Jordan are the team shorties.
Each is five feet eight inches tall. Left Tackle Joe Tiburzi is
the team giant at 230 pounds, followed by 220-pound Right
Tackle Breece Barley.
Twenty-eight members of the squad are .natives Of Ala­bama.
Georgia and Mississippi have six each and nine players
are from "way up Nawth."
The sophomore players are by far the largest group, boast­ing
25. Twelve of the Tigers are seniors—seven linemen and
five backs.
Langner, Fullback Jim McGowen, End Fred Duart and
Guard Mauro Grosso are the oldsters. All are 25.
Cagers Open November 27
Coach Joel Eaves sends his 1950 Auburn basketball team
to the floor November 27 when Troy State Teachers invade
the Plains for the first tilt of the '50-51 hardwood season.
K Center Bill Lynn is the only man who will be missing
from last year's third-place SEC five. Guard Dwight Hitt
won't be able to join Coach Eaves until he has finished his
grid work December 2.
Tennessee and Kentucky, the top two SEC cage powers
last season, have been added to the Tiger slate. The Tigers
enjoyed their best season in years last winter when they won
17 of 23 tilts.
Auburn Only Team To Hold Edge Over Tide
Auburn is the only football team on the 1950 Alabama
schedule that boasts a superior record against the Tide. The
teams have met 14 times, Auburn winning eight, losing five
and one ending in a tie. The modern record stands at one and
one, though, as they will this year, the Crimsons have con­sistently
ruled a top-heavy favorite. Through the years,
Vandy has proven the toughest of all Auburn foes. Against
the Commodores the Tigers have won 6, lost 17 and tied 1.
Clemson has been the m o s t unsuccessful against the
Plainsmen. Auburn has beaten the 1950 Homecoming foe -20
times, lost 9 and tied 2.
BOBBY DUKE, Tiger Cub halfback, runs into trouble as he attempts to breach the Georgia Tech
Baby Jackets' line. On this play Duke was held to a three-yard gain. In the foreground, Cub full­back
Charles Littles experiences difficulty as he attempts to spill the Baby Bee left end.

AIO Gridders Win Two More Games
Lovelace's Passing Sparks Victories
By Billy Anderson
An undefeated AIO team won two more games last week
downing the Navy, 14-0, and the Blue Devils, 22-6. Both vic­tories
were sparked by the passing of Buddy Lovelace.
Lovelace threw two touchdown passes in the last quarter
of Monday's game with the Navy. The first score was a pass

McCoy Hewlett
Once Only Mentor
For Tiger Varsity
By Bill Beckwith
Who would have ever thought
that McCoy Hewlett was Auburn's
only coach? *,
Strange as it may seem, the
young assistant was the only
football specialist the Tigers had
for nearly a month between the
departure of Carl Voyles and the
coming of Earl Brown.

the goal line. Minutes later, a long
Lovelace pass found itself in the
arms of Dean, who reached pay-dirt
untouched. Both extra points
failed. The remaining two points
came when Grimes broke through
the Navy line and tagged a Navy
runner behind his goal.
^The Bulldogs bowed to the
Boys, 6-0, in the only other game
on Monday of last week. A block­ed
punt on the 'Dog's five yard
line set up the Boys' score. Two
plays later, the Meagher brothers,
Mickey and Dick, teamed up to
produce the only score. Mickey
fired a bullet pass to Dick, who
took it as he stepped across the
goal line. The attempt to add the
extra point and that was the scor­ing
for the day. •
AIO won their second game of
the week when they overpowered
the Blue Devils, 22-6, Wednesday.
The passing of Lovelace proved to
be the downfall of the Devils, as
he tosses three TD passes. His
main targets for the day were
Dean and Grimes. Dean scored
twice and Grimes once. Knowles
converted once and kicked a field
goal for the other points. The only
score for the Devils came in the
last quarter when Glasscock pass­ed
to Fewell for six points.
In League I play, Barracks 10
fought the league-leading Hell
Cats for four scoreless quarters,
then lost to the 'Cats via the over­time
"sudded death" method. The
game featured good defensive play
by both sides.
Navy held the Boys for a score­less
first half, but loosened up
enough to permit the Boys to
squeeze in two touchdowns and go
on to win, 13-0. Meagher tossed
both touchdown' passes; one to
Crowder and the other to Nunn.
Fitzgerald converted once.
Today the Boys and the. AIO
play the only game in League I.
In an early season game be­tween
the two, the Boys fell to
the leaders, 13-12. Barracks 4
plays the Stags, and the Hell
Cats meet the Rebels in League II
activity.
Last Monday the Boys played
last-place Navy while the 'Dogs
and the Blue Devils clashed. The
Rebels met the Stags in League II.
Standings through November 12
were:
Coach McCog Hewlett
"Coy", as he is called by his col­leagues,
graduated from Auburn
in 1947 but never splashed the
headlines with his grid tactics.
This would not have held true if
the dashing man hadn't broken a
leg his sophomore year at Au­burn,
when he showed promise of
becoming a fine triple-threat
back.
To add to this, the Marines dis­tinguished
their Corps with his
presence for a few years as a lieu­tenant,
where his services were di­vided
among Okinawa, Japan, and
China.
Upon his discharge, Hewlett r e ­turned
to Auburn and lettered in
1946. He was troubled by the leg
injury acquired in 1942, and the
years in Marines made him no
younger, so the talented youngster
used his brains instead of his
brawn and was appointed to coach
the "B" team in 1947.
Besides possessing the brains,
the good-looking cavalier could
easily be called a "Smooth Mouth."
Adding to the fact that he is a keen
scout, his sense of humor and
sparkling conversation has enabl­ed
Auburn to acquire many high
school prospects, who are on the
upgrade in Auburn's rebuilding
program.
No one can be pointed out as
being directly responsible for the
historical 14-13 victory over Ala­bama
last year, but "Coy" con­tributed
scouting reports that en­abled
the Tigers to have a
thorough knowledge of what the
Tide would do in certain spots,
and added with mental aggres­siveness,
supplied the loveliest
village with a successful season.
His interest and patience in Ri-gas
Coptsias, sophorhore halfback,
is beginning to show results on
the gridiron. Coptsias was all-everything
during his high school
in Americus, Georgia, so -Hewlett
signed him to a grant-in-aid. The
road was rougher at Auburn for
the Georgian, and when confront­ed
with the problem of running
second-fiddle to established vete­rans
Bobby Golden, Dickie Flour -
noy and Dwight Hitt, he lost his
confidence, and figured he just
didn't have it.
Watching Rigas lope around
during the start of the season,
with no drive embedded in him,
"Coy" tok him aside one day and
expressed his confidence in the
mercury-footed halfback. The
very next day Hewlett's insight
paid off as Coptsias ran wild.

Tech Freshmen Down Cubs, 26-14;
Halaway, Dooley, Littles Standouts
By J. C. Sellers
Nearly 5,500 cold fans watched a potent squad of Georgia
freshmen down a fighting Auburn Baby Tiger, 26-14, in Hare
Stadium Saturday. It was t h e Tech plebes second win of the
year and the Cubs' first defeat. '
Except for a lapse by A u b u r n in t h e second period, t h e tilt
was played on fairly even terms ; " *"
Bama, Auburn Set-
Punch Bowl Plans
DOOLEY FADES, LOOKS, THEN LOPES
The Auburn frosh racked up 14
first downs to the Georgians 15
and outgained them 268 yards to
258. Also, the Cubs completed
more passes and had a better
punting average.
However, the Baby Tigers out-fumbled
the Engineers, 5 to 1,
which proved to be one of the de­ciding
factors.
Both teams were full of fight­ing
spirit and many penalties
marred the match. Auburn was
charged with 100 yards, all but
10 being for personal fouls, and
Tech lost 50 yards on penalties.
Outstanding for the Cubs were
performances turned in by three
backs: Charles Hataway, former
Troy High star; Charles "Big
Boy" Littles of Andalusia, and
Vince Dooley, signal caller from
Mobile. Dooley showed great
running ability several times
when he slipped away from po­tential
Tech tacklers for long
gains.
Widely heralded as a passing
team, the Techsters unleashed a
powerful ground attack which the
Plainsmen found hard to control,
and displayed two promising
backs in Leon Hardeman and
Glenn Turner.
After a scoreless first quarter,
the Jacket juggernaut began to
move and, taking the pigskin on
their own 33, drove 67 yards for
a score. Bill Blackburn terminat­ed
the march, crashing over from
the one. Turner failed to convert
and the Engineers led, 6-0.
Shortly after the kickoff, Bob­by
Duke, Tiger halfback, fumb­led
on his own 21. Tech recover­ed,
and on the second play Turner
carried over for the tally. Again
he missed the extra point at­tempt.
Later in the same quarter, Hat­away
bobbled on the 41 and the
Techsters took over for, the sec­ond
time. A series of downs mov­ed
the ball to the two, and Harde.
man plunged over from there.
The conversion was good for the
first time and Tech led, 19-0.
The Auburn freshmen looked
like a new team after halftime,
driving for a quick touchdown.
Littles made the marker on a
pitchout from Quarterback Jim
Fullington. Joe Davis boot for the
extra counter.
The Engineers bounced right
back and, receiving the oval on
their .25, machined a 75-yard
drive for their last score. Quart­erback
Courts Redford slipped
over from the one, the kick was
good, and the Jacket juniors wen*
ahead, 26-7.
Auburn's last TD came in the
middle of the final quarter on a
march sparked by the fine passing
and flashy running of Quarter­back
Vince Doolet. Hataway cli­maxed
the push by diving over
from the three. Davis' boot found
the groove to make the count 26-
14 and concluded the game's scor­ing.
Plans for the third . annual
Punch Bowl between the fratern­ity
football champions of Auburn
and the University of Alabama
have been made by representa­tives
of the two school's Interfra-ternity
Councils.
In effect for the game will be
rules which were accepted after
both groups agreed to concede
several of their own grid regula­tions.
Last year's contest between Sig­ma
Phi Epsilon of Auburn and
Sigma Chi of Alabama ended in a
dispute with the final verdict go­ing
to SPE on a forfeit. The two
teams are undefeated in campus
play so far this year and could
conceivably meet again.
The 1950 game will be played
at Tuscaloosa on a date yet un­decided.
The first game, played in
1948, ended in a victory for Au­burn
SAE over Sigma Chi of Ala­bama,
8-7.

the third quarter.
Sigma Nu won its first League
III game, edging out Pi Kappa
Phi, 13-6. On the fourth play of
the game, McCorkle shot a pass
to Stanford far a Sigma Nu score.
Francisco caught a 40-yard pass
to set up another Snake score in
the second period. Aided by a
roughing penalty, Pi Kappa Phi
scored on a pass from Baker to
Capell in the third period. In an­other
game Sigma Nu lost to
Delta Sigma Phi, 13-0. Two toss­es
from Logan to G-ilmore were
the main factors in the Delta Sig's
win.
An extra point was the margin
if victory as Phi Kappa Tau edg­ed
Sigma Chi in League IV, 7-6.
Phe winning team scored on an
aerial from Cannon to Ray. The
extra point was kicked from
placement. Sigma Chi talked on
a toss from McCullough to Sujn-roeryille.
Strange and Stafford
were outstanding in the line for
the losers.
Sigma Chi was also turned
back by PiKA in last week's play.
The Pikes pushed across a touch­down
a.nd a safety in ths third
period to win, &-0. A long pass
from Dow to Byrd accounted for
six poinds, and White caught Mc­Cullough
for a safety and two
points.
OTS and Alpha Psi fought to a
12-12 deadlock in League I. For
Alpha Psi, Bryant threw two
passes good for touchdowns, with
Bearden and Acree on the receiv­ing
end. OTS scored when inter­ference
was ruled against Alpha
Psi, and again on a pass from
Fairey to Groce. The game was
scheduled to be replayed on Fri­day,
but rain interfered.
Kappa Alpha racked up three
markers in the last half to defeat
TKE, 24-6, in League II. A short
pass from Barron to Baldwin ac­counted
for a first-quarter KA
score. On the last play of the half,
Martin ran for a TKE score. Ear­lier,
a TKE touchdown had been
called back hecause a flanker was
out of bounds. A 20-yard aerial
from Barron to Johnson was good
for the second KA score, and the
third was set up when Marriott
intercepted a TKE aerial. Five
plays later, Barron threw to Wade
for the score. The fourth touch­down
also came on a Barron-to-
Wade pass.

Auburn's 7 Cheerleaders Responsible
For Promoting Campus Pep And Spirit
By Tom Duke
i
Keeping the stands rocking with "War Eagles" is the re­sponsibility
of Auburn's seven energetic cheerleaders. How­ever,
duties of the chief yellers are more complex than the
wiggles, shouts and acrobatics to be observed from seat 12,
row 39, at an Auburn game.
Herman Blagg of Selma serve
as head cheerleader and repre­sents
the squad at Pep Committee
meetings, where the rallies are
planned. Jack Orcutt, Birming­ham,
is the other senior male
member of the squad. Bill Good­win,
Montgomery, and Dennis
Calhoun, Columbus, will return
next year.
Pat Haden, Robertsdale, will
graduate at the end of this sea­son.
There is no standard number of
cheerleaders from year to year,
but the squad usually numbers
seven to nine. Chosen by students,
the squad cannot contain more
than one member from any soror­ity
or fraternity. Selection usually
takes place at a pep rally in the
fall.
Funds to send the seven War
Eaglers to games comes from tho
Athletic Association. The associa­tion
also provides them with side­line
passes.
Football trips, however, are not
always one happy demonstration
of the Auburn Spirit. There was
the Auburn-Florida clash in Mo­bile
last year when the cheer­leaders—
minus t h e i r sideline
passes—w e r e running around
Ladd Memorial Stadium trying to
get in for the kick-off. They were
finally admitted after the game
had started.
Another minor crisis occurred
in the 'Bama parade in Birming­ham-
last year when Head Cheer­leader
Blagg ripped the seat of
his 12-year-old pants. This year
the squad has new uniforms.

Visit Rosemont Gardens
Twenty students in floriculture
attended Rosemont Gardens' an­nual
School of Flower Design in
Montgomery October 23. Leading
designers from Georgia, Missis­sippi
and Alabama floral concerns
presented numerous ideas in the
design of Christmas decorations,
wedding bouquets and corsages,
flower arrangements and funeral
work.
One of the features of the school

the group on an inspection
tour of the auditorium and ex­plained
the procedure of wedding
decoration.
