SENIOR GUARDS, CAGE COACH COMBINE
Dr. E. V. Smith has been named
dean of the Auburn School of Agriculture
and director of the Agricultural
Experiment Station.
The appointment is effective January
1. Smith succeeds M. J.
Funchess, who was named dean
emeritus. The appointments were
made by Dr. Ralph B. Draughon,
president, and were unanimously J
approved by the A.P.I. Board of |jf
Trustees.
In making the announcement,
Dr. Draughon stated it was with
genuine regret that he yielded to
Dean Funchess' request to be relieved
"of the very great administrative
burden that he now
bears. After two years and a great
deal of study, I have reached the
conclusiori that Dr. Edwin V.
Smij^i, flflsociate' c&an I n * drrfccV
or, is the logical person to succeed
him." :;
Dr. Smith was born and reared
in Dale County, graduated at
Alabama Polytechnic Institute in
1928, and received, his master's
and doctor's degrees at Iowa
State College. In 1944 he was appointed
assistant dean and director
and two years ago was elevated
to associate rank.
"When Dean Funchess retires
from administrative duties December
31, he will have served
Auburn 26 years as dean of the
School of Agriculture and director
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station. He was born and reared
on a .farm near Orangeburg,
South? .CjkroHna..He received his
bachelor's degree from yvClemson
and his master's!roin the Unitfer?--,
sity <gf>,Wisconsin: • • "•"• ;;: .• '•=
Dean Funches came $> .Auburn
in 1909 as an assistant in the^'de-partmen't
of agronomy. In 1920
he was named head of that department,
and four years later
was made dean and director, i It
has been through his leadership
that the present Agricultural Ex-
.periment Station System has been
developed which includes 23 research
units located in the important
soil regions of the state.
In recognition of his distinguished
services to science and education,
Clemson College in 1937 conferred
on him the degree of Doctor
of Science.

THE DU PONT
DIGEST
The Teflon* Problem:
* Given a plastic for which there is no known solvent;
\f; - how would you turn it into a coating?
Philip S. Sanders, left, A. IB. in Chemisby,
University of Pennsylvania, 1944, supervises
operation of a special dipping machine used
to coat wire with "Teflon" enamel in the laboratory.
Enamel is "dried" by fusing.
* * > •
' Some time ago D u Pont research discovered
a new plastic—"Teflon" tet-rafluoroethylene
resin. It had temperature
resistance beyond the range
of any previous plastic, excellent electrical
characteristics, and the highest
degree of chemical inertness among
commercial plastics.
i But tough-guy "Teflon" was
almost too tough. It wouldn't melt
and flow like other plastics. Hence,
i t could be molded only in simple
shapes. There was no existing tech-
, nique by which it could be made into
thin coatings. Unless this difficulty
could be overcome, the very proper-s
ties that made "Teflon" so promising
narrowed its usefulness.
"Teflon" Won't Dissolve
In the past, problems like this have
been handled by dissolving plastics
in a suitable solvent and using them
as the base for enamels and similar
coatings. But "Teflon" will not dissolve
in any solvent yet known. It
even stands up to nitric acid.
At this point Du Pont physical
chemists suggested dispersions-minute
particles suspended in a liquid—
as the answer. After much
study, scientists of the Polychemicals
Department learned how to suspend
"Teflon" particles about 1/125,000
of an inch in diameter. Aided by the
fundamental studies of Chemical
Department scientists, they devised
today's commercial scale process.
Meanwhile D u Pont's Fabrics and
Finishes Department was keeping
pace,with the development. Their
contributions to formulating the new
products did much to establish "Teflon"
polytetrafluoroethylene coatings
and wire enamels in many
special uses.
In electric motors, for instance;
these enamels are used on wire so'
the motor can be operated at higher
temperatures and will deliver more
power per unit of weight. Such motors
are more compact and sometimes
cost less.. •
Other uses include non-sticking
coatings that cut costs when applied
to bakery rolls, rubber molds, heat-sealing
machinery and similar equipment.
Corrosion-resistant "Teflon?
coatings for special uses are currently
being investigated.
Product of Teamwork
"Teflon" finishes are a typical fruit
of the close teamwork of Du Pont
technicalmenofdiversebackgrounds.
Organicandphysicalchemistsplayed
a major role. Physicists participated
by developing fundamental information
on the nature of the dispersion.
Chemical and mechanical engineers
designed the manufacturing apparatus.
Working together.theymade possible
this new and important addition
to theDuPont family of "Better
Things for Better l i v i n g . . . through
Chemistry." 'Reg-US. Patent Off.
Numbor on* plastic in resistance to heat,
chemicals and moisture, "Teflon" is shown in
forms of gaskets, coaxial cable spacers, tape,
rod, pipe, flared tubing, valve stem packing
beading as it is supplied to industry.
In a last of heat resistance at 390°F., the
"TSflon" rod (right) remains intact while two
other plastics melt or swell out of shape.

BETTER THINGS FOR BETTER LIVING
...-THROUGH CHCMISTRY
Ten Years Ago
On The Plains
By Mike Pinney
It was 10 years ago on the
Auburn campus that the Don Cossack
Chorus, famous singing organization,
appeared at Graves Center
Auditorium as the second feature
of the 1940-41 Auburn Concert
Series. The Cossacks, under
the direction of dimunitive Serge
Jaroff, specialized in the presentation
of Russian songs.
* » *
The Open Forum Club, together
with Alpha Phi Omega, honorary
scouting f r a t e r n i t y , sponsored
Citizenship Day. on the Auburn
campus December 4. Citizenship
Day came as part of the entire
state's celebration of its 121st year
of statehood and at the same time
the symbolic birthday of 30,000
Alabama youth who became of
age that year.
* * *
In an effort to find out exactly
what student sentiments were on
class attendance regulations, the
Executive Cabinet conducted a
poll of the entire student body to
express its opinion of the college
rule on this matter. Voting took
place in the Student Center; According
to the president of the
Cabinet, students often feigned illness
to get an excuse from the
doctor's office, thereby burdening
the health department and interfering
with the effective care of
students who are really ill.
* * *
On December 6, Auburn students,
upholding that traditional
Great Auburn Spirit, started en
masse for Montgomery, where
they saw the Auburn Tigers jn
the last of the season's football
games against the Villanova Wildcats.
A parade held through the
main streets of the Capitol City
was led by the Auburn Band and
the six cheerleaders. Auburn won
in a real thriller, 13-10.
* * *
A new system of grading students
scholastically, was passed by
the A.P.I. Evecutive Council at a
meeting on November 30. The
new system of alloting grades provided
for the replacement of the
numerical system by one of letter
grades. Administrative officials
stated that because of the increase
in the size of the student body,
this faster system of assembling
'grades was necessary.

And is that the way to judge a cigarette?
We think not. That's why we suggest:
The sensible test - T h e 30-Day Camel Mildness Test,
which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke —
on a pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap
judgments needed. After you've enjoyed Camels — and
only Camels - for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for

In1 Parting
"Friendship is- like a sheltering tree"— Coleridge
since' ear first issue* this fail; we have'
eagerly awaited the time each week when
wS wrote our "editorials; normally the most
gratifying aspect of editing a newspaper.
However, as we went topless on number
ll\ We" put off- writing: editorials until' the"
vety last- because there- was one we- literally
hated to write—this one.
We knew we wouldn't have to search
for wdrdS when we began it for we knew
what we were going to say, but we realized*
that in writing it, we sound the parting
kriell for a man who more than being a
staff member, has been The PlfairiShiati for
over two years. We find this hard'td do.
When Graham McTeer receives his diploma
next week, he will be writing a final
"thirty" to a career at Auburn that reflects
ndthing, but credit upon himself- and his
work. In awarding this degree, signifying
the close of Graham's' academie career,
Alabama Polytechnic Institute is losing a
lot more than the managing editor of its
campus newspapeY; it is losing one df the'
best-naturedj biggest-hearted, most courage
edUs and capable men ever to fill out an
A'.P.I. registration- card.
Seldom does one see or hear of a person
who overflows^ with "the milk- of human
kihdness" m i x e d homogeneously with
"the cream of unlimited ability." However,
in1 Gray, one finds just such a person. .
He was already a true Auburn man
when he enrolled here iri the fall of 1047
arid now, as he graduates after 13 straight
•quarters of work, he leave's riidfe than a
little of his heart here on the PlairiS--he
loVes Auburn and will continue to idolize
it with that big heart of his:
We first met Gray at a state Hi-Y conference
during dttf junior" year of high'
school, when he was elected president of
the state-wide organization. At the time,
...we thought the group-made a wise chdide;
now, after associating with him for four
yearsrwe know that they couldn't possibly
have chosen a better man.
We next saw him here at The Plains-mart1
office^ when' we both were freshmen.
It Was therf that we-; really got to! khoW
Gray. One needs to be around him only for
a short time to appreciate his ability and
his disposition. Throughout our" college
career, we have been proud to • listeraham

feet as one" df; our closest'friends: This
friendship has been magnified this year' by
our cooperative Work With Gray dn dtif
joint first love: T3ie Plainsman.
We don't plan to go into an enumeration
of the many duties he has performed
in his 10 quarter's^ of Work on the paper
Every Plainsman1 reader has1 seen his byline
a million times, on his pdpUlar column,
"Ad- Libbihg,"" arid on various articles
throughout the paper. Arid; they have
watched him sefVe as managing editor
under four different editor-s^-eertairily a
record in itself-^sd that they kndW the
magnitude of his labors.
He has been the itidSt faithful worker"
of a fabulously faithful grqup. And, he has
been a sort o*f leader of the little fraternity
of men known slhiply as the Plainsmen,
who are closer than any fraternal group
ever hoped to be:
To us, he has been the' pfdverbiar
"friend-in need," alWays ready td listen to
dUr' various editorial and personal problems,-
His*-- fatherly, tactfully-rendered advice
and suggestions-Will^ be sorely missed.
j, Also, we'll miss his" evef-pfeserit goooV
nature Which" did1 so much to add to the
congeniality of- the staff throughout his
years of service. It has'been said that a
man is respected and adm'iredfdf his ability
and loved for' his wit and disposition.
This has been the Way The Plainsman
staff, editorial and business alike* have felt
about Gray.
Personally, we'll miss fussing,with him
about straightening out our- desk arid copy
drawer so that We couldn't find' anything.
We'll rhiss the trips to the Bakery in the
wee hours. We'll miss the comradeship
we've had throughout college.- We'll miss
fussing over who is to go after the shakes.
We'll miss the tactful rerhdval of the chip
from our shoulder When, harassed by
make-up problerriS, we were out of- sorts.
We'll miss the witty quips that kept us
ait laughing: Well miss the best damn
journalist that ever hit this place. In short,
we'll miss Graham McTeer.
With'his ability and intelligence above
question, and his pleasant nature" always in
view, Gray long ago gained the respect and
lbVe' of- every staff merflbW,- ridr Will this
feeling be iessened by his gradation. To us,
Graham will always be The Plainsman.
Fd&tbdll Season ln< Retrospect
The fall of 1950 Saw an Auburn fddtball
tearri go through the most' disastrous season
in Auburn history. Iri playing ten garnes
and dropping, them all, the 1*950"Orange
and Blue squad set a record- for A.P.I,
football. However, in looking' back' over
the^season, we find little to shout about but
much to be proud of.
No football team in Auburn history has
lost as many games, nor have many shdWn
more effort and spirity e^ell'tnb^ribt faced
with a stacked-deck of obstacles a<*;was tru>
year's eleven. The 1950 Tiger never lost
heart or quit trying. When the'going was
rough, and it was every week, the Tiger
gridders simply dug' in their cleats and
gave all they had. ThiS "all" didn't Win any
ball games, but the Tiger's head remained
unbowed despite defeat, Th.e 1950 Auburn
Tiger, despite chrottic'lbss^ of- teeth in the
form of injuries to key players, rtevef lost
its Spirit—it asked for'no mercy and fdUght
its heart out, taking its inevitable licking,
like a true tiger, an Auburn Tiger. When
this> is done, there is no more to be asked,
or given. To J im McGowen and Virgil
Willett, who captained the Tiger and1 Who
perhaps more than anyone else, have cause
to regret the luckless Tiger's poor showing,
we point out that regardless of the final

others, the work is beneficial in
its requirements of responsibility,
cooperation and dealings with
people, and the results gained
from these requirements.
But even the experience and
knowledge we have gained from
10 academic quarters of Plainsman
work have not been the chief factors
for which We are now grateful.
The most important gain to
Jus has come through association
with our fellow workers.
Constant association usually
breeds either closeness or enmity,
seldom neutral feeling. A group
Whose success depends on cooperation
and general good will
among its members' can be destroyed
from within because of
conflicting personalities or desires.
We hardly see how The*
Plainsmati could operate under
such conditions, but there has never
been any cause to fear that it
should have to. For the spirit of
Auburn has bell completely absorbed
by the staff of this paper,
and it i& a spirit of which .we are
proud. /
For the' matchless friendships
we have fdrmed as a Plains'mart
member and for. the resulting
camaraderie we are most thankful.

As far as we can see, there is
little of interest to the reader in
the columnist's parting reflection.
He Cannot easily understand the
reason for the note of sadness and
sentimentality on which the song-is
Usually sung. But those who
have been a part of the writer's
life at Auburn, particularly his
fellow workers, can well understand,
and it is
primarily for
them that he
writes it. He is
merely putting
into print What
he Woiild like
to say to them.-
This is the
time that' We
now face, and1
it is with mixed
e m o t i o n s;
Recalling t-'h'e"
Weeks when creative inspiration
was little, ideas were' few, and
two jtelloW sheets Of paper' were'
finally filled with unsatisfying
paragraphs, We are tempted to r e joice
that this will be no more:
But this thought is quickly lost'
when1 We think of other weeks
when' We felt we had something
to 'of fer—a' Criticism, a suggestion,
argument, event a bit of h'timdr occasionally—
and w o r d s flowed
freely. When the words sUcCeeded:
in instigating thought, action or
comment, or served only as light
entertainment for loyal readers,
we then fully realized our privilege.
Of course, the privilege Of Writing
a column would be qUite
shallow if it did hot carry with it
other1 journalistic duties. But' up-drt
those Who fill the editorial
page Weekly falls the niajor share
of the rest of the work, arid- it' is
in this work that the real benefits
of being a part of THe Plainsman
lie.
For practical purposes, little is
as valuable, whether a journalist-tic
career is anticipated or not.
For the journalist the experience
is precious, for only so much can
be taught in the classroom. To
Cannon
results, an athletic team that gives all it
.has, is-a thing of which to'be proud and'we
join yoU in this pride.
The Auburn coaching staff• has nothing
to be ashamed of either, tyofkiiig under
adverse conditions, Coach Ekrl BroWn and
his associates managed to Whip Up a squad
which performed as closely to'the extent
of its capabilities^ injuries and inductions
Would allow. I t was not a good season to
be inscribed in a coach's record book—the
caUSes of the record often being overlooked—
bUt Brown e t al. still have the ability
and we're banking'dn a strong comeback.
Last and* foremost is* a1 group that actually
needs no praise. It sjieaks for itself
better than either of the above groups. The
Auburn student body never lost its faith in
the losing team, nbr did the fabled Auburn
Spirit die Out. Actually, it seemed to grow
stronger aS the season progressed and the
record greW wdrse. There's-a saying in the
Southeastern Conference, "Only Auburn
loves a-loser" and;it waS-certainly proved
this yea¥.:
When viewed from the general picture,
the' 1950- football- season1 Was not a disastrous
one. Ball games were lost but spirit
was not—this again showed the true Auburn.

"Til
t would be hard to write a farewell
without paying tribute to Au-burrt
itself, We-do not doubt that
everything good that has ever
been said about it is true* and
more. Auburn *s, of course, synonymous
with Auburn men and

undying spirit and- love often
amazes non-Auburn people,- but
we see it as a natural attitude, orte
Which cannot be put down even
after student days are far behind.

By Jim Everett-
Among bills, threatening letters attd: the WCTtJ clipshee't
in The Plainsman box this Week Was ah open letter tdvS: CiaUS.
Evidently written in great haste and secrecy, the Christmas
plea was composed of words clipped from discarded issues1 Of
Alabama and pasted on ah Athey's menu,
Coffee splotches blurred^ the second paragraph. F equals
MA and5 23 skidoo were penciled on the left
corner. A telephone number, SA^IO, Was
Scribbled after' the complimentary close. But
no name was signed:
The drtly clUe td' the' drigitt df-the letter-was
a drawing df an oversized orange pierced
by a dagger. Hdtided klanSmen Wearing
wreathes df holly were depicted burning
Christmas crosses in: an-outline" of the state of
South Carolina; An*a spot'of crimson ketchup
covered1 the,dot of Ciemson; township;
tfoW,- S; CiaUs,:pom£6Us ruler of the Nbrtri
Pdle domain, Was heard1 cursing ddWh a chimney of Samfbrd'
Hall after reading the letter. "Damn little kids," he roared,
"I shouldn't have crossed1 the MaSdn^Dixoh: Fll show these
peons that I have a mortdpdly dtt this capitalistic enterprise."
And he dashed: off to the" Casihd for a double shot of' hootch
without the traditional ''M^rry Christmas to all, and to all a
Good Night." - ,
At the North Pole it was sndWing,
Santa even left Randolph the rude^rtdSe'red deer in the
grain crops lab as he flew Off in the directidn of Nome. Arriving
at the magnetic North Pole With the letter, S! Claus
was met by joliy Mrs. ClauS and Sort; Subordinate. Outside
it Was snowing.
But the Christmas spell: was soon shattered: The elves read
the letter and; immediately demanded higher wages. They
picketed the Claus mansion. T h e y butchered Blitzen for
Christmas steaks. And they no loriger laughed and shouted
Noel! '
Mrs. Claus claimed a terrific headache and ordered Santa
to rUn down to New York for aSpirirt. Satt'ta refused, wore his
muddy boots in the house, and spat on the bearskin rug. He
cursed the snow.
By the way, did you knoW that a SndWflaJte has six points?
Cannon Report
By Tom Cannon
For a long time I've wanted Auburn
to get a real-live tiger f or
a mascot, but after hearing what
happened to the LSU kitty last
week end, I'm not so sure it's a
good idea.
As you know,, Tulane met LSU
Saturday ih their annual gridiron
classic, a battle similar ih rivalry
to the Auburn-Alabama tilt. The:
famous bfertgal
Was' s li'o V e d
into His trailer
cage a nd
carried by two
students to New
Orleans. Passing
a bar, the
keepers s u d denly
felt an
u rt qU ehch&ble
desire for a
safsaparilla, sO
they parked the
cat in the street and Went' inside.
Meanwhile, a group qf Tulane
students passed and recognised
the artirh&L They promptly hauled
him to an abandoned garage WHete"
they hid Hitti fOf several hours.
When the LSU boys realised
what had happened, they were
pariie-stricken. Tulane would run-all
over the Bengals if they had
the tiger in their possession: Something
had to be done.
Finally, after hours of frantic
Searching, the catnappers were
apprehended. A truce committee
was arranged and the mascot was
returned to its owners in time for
the game.
With this experience in mind,
We'd better just depend on ole
Snowball and forget about a man-eating,
fire-breathing tiger. Protecting
bonfire wood and removing
Bama stickers are bad enough
Without having to steal elephants
and tigers from (each other. We
Would really be getting the Worst
end of the deal, anyway.
* * *
If you Would like td see a striking
contrast, go by the new arch"-
itecture building and then walk
over to the lobby of Alumni Hall.
Amid the gigantic building program
underway on the campus,
that lounge stands as an unnecessary
eyesore.
There is nothing about the
room that is attractive. It's dirty;
the color scheme (if it can be caused1
that) is ugly; the furniture is
hideous.
A few hundred dollars properly
?spent, could make the foyer and
"living room of Alumni a pleasant
place for the girls who live there
and their friends. As a suggestion,
why not-let one of the interior design
classes redecorate the'Waiting
rbdms' fdf the practical e*ife--
riehce?
Another badly - needed attditt^
expensive irnpfdvemerit" WOuld' be
the' addition of signs designating
the different sections of trie east
stands of; the stadiurH: I dOrt't
have a very gdod sense Of direction
ariyWay, and when f try to
differentiate between FF artd GG
I usually .find liiyself in HH.
to the'little health symbol in this-eetmtr'y.
It was at his suggestion that Miss
Flrriily Bisselii hi Wimiirtgett; fjel,
launched the first Red- Gross seal
in this country in 1907; The idea
and the. tiny little stamp which
was' designed- at that time to try
to raise $300 for five needy families,
raised more than $3,000. Con-
..trast that' With more thart thirty
rhiiliOtt for thiSf year;
If you have one of those seals
issued in 1908-11 or 1913 and if it
is" in gdod' condition, you can sell
it for fr"oni$fPtb $4d: Ullany of the
older editions are sought by stamp
collectors. This writer has a complete
collection and will be glad
to' loah thefti for' display in arty
way that they may be usedl to' fur-tHei*
the present' drive: He-also has
a collection from many of the
other nations.
Wort't you buy a'sheet this year

Association Stamp out the White
Plague?

Dear Editor:
Christmas seals are now. used in
all lands to raise funds for the
greatest life-saving campaign.
Christmas has acquired a rteW
significance within the last four
generations for the nations Of the
world. A tiny "charity stamp,"
emblem of a great sickness, has
gradually slipped ihtO the accepted
order of holdiay festivities.
Charity Stamps are sold today
iri every country in the world.-The
idea of the charity stamp first
originated in this country in 1862.
It came back from Denmark designed
as a tuberculosis Christmas
Seal ih the year 1907. Jacob A.
Riis, the noted philanthropist, is
responsible for the unique significance
which now attaches itself

Contributions afe COming in this
Week to the Auburn Review, quarterly
published by the students at
Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
Prof. Herbert Metz, feculty ad-
Visor, Said today.
Deadline, fof the next issue,
which willbe released early iri'the
winter quarter, is December 10.
Jim Jennings, president of the
Review Ciub, sponsors of'ttie"riuB-licatiOri,
said the' magazine'- ae--
cepts short stories, poetry, essays
and other original work from any
member of the student body who
Wishes to'submit a manuscript".
As everybody krtoWS; during the
past fiscal year smokers-in America
took ducks on 355 billion cigarettes—
three biliion more than
in trie previous year.
That's1 a lot of coffin' nails. At
18' puffs per" fag,- that's considerably
more than six- trillion smoking
inhalations. And at 20 cigarettes
per pack, that's* a total of
17,73d,'0du;O0O! packs consumed by
the coriSumirig corisuriier'.
Here's another pertinent point:
ori-his sixty-fifty birthday, Mickey
Rooney will have lived 2,019,686,
400 secOrids; or" about the same
number as there are people in the
world!
Naturally, Wlien confronted
With these aiarmittg facts the normal
' person1 is Wont to exclaim,
"Lawsy, laWsy. This smacks of excitement.
But billion schmillion!
How much is a billion?"
Okay, srharty. Read on, if you
Want' the straight poop.
To get an. idea of how much is
a billion, take a dollar bill. Measure
i t What; yoU have no ruler?
Then you'll* Have to accept my
measurements as correct, which
suits me fine. A one-doUar bill,
like a five-dollar biii, is six and
orie-eightti" inches' long and two
ahd;fiVe-eighthS iiicHeS Wide. Now
we^re ready, so Here We go.
See if you can figUre out how
far a billion dollars would reach
if placed end to end! I couldn't,
bUt SbWebttdy else cduld, so here's
i n -
By Gene" Moore
the answer: one billion smackers;
placed end to ertd would extend
96,669.9 miles. This is about three
and five-sixth times around the
world at the equator. The next
time you're ddWh around the^
equator, try it.
Here's One yOU'll never get: How
wide a path would a billion bills
make in spanning the roughly
3,000 miles frOm here to Juneau;
Alaska? Since you'ii never get it;
maybe I'd better -tell .yOU. By the
time, yOu finished you'd have a.
s e v e n - - fbot - wide Auburn-to-
JUneau highway, with several
thousand bills left over. You can
send the left-overs to me, if yoU
like: 4
The national debt is $2'fl5,000,-
000,000, maybe even $265,000,-
000,002 or $265,0d0,0d0,003 by
now; I haVert't checked in several
days. Now if all this mdola were
strung (or is it Strang?) from coast
to cOast, How wide a plush greert
carpet would it make? Well, Daw-gaWn.
How'd you get it? You ob*
vioUsly cheated, but yOu're right:
eriOUgh dollar bills to retire the
t national debt would form a Maine
to-CalifOrriia stretch of lucre
1,855 feet wide:
The above question-arid-ah-swer*
series should clear up for
you the things you've been trying
to find out from Mumsie and Dads
all your life. Now that you know
hOW much a billion is, cari-you let
me Have a cOUple until' the first
df trie month?

Tilt Sets Record For Fewest Penalties
For 41 years they said that Auburn and Alabama couldn't
meet on the gridiron without chaos but Saturday at Birmingham's
Legion Field, the two teams set a stadium record when
they went over three quarters without a penalty. Auburn
was penalized 20.yards and Alabama 10. Auburn received
the game's only 15-yard penalty. It was a hard-fought game,
but to spectators from both camps it looked like the essence
in sportsmanship. The Alabama-Auburn game is here to stay.
Harsh Words For Coach Brown And Staff
One of the Alabama metropolitan newspapers was quick
to place the dismal Auburn football season on Coach Earl
Brown and his staff. The article, written by a man who saw
Auburn play for the first time last Saturday, had this to say:
"When a football coach or a baseball manager has a losing
season, it's so easy to pass the buck by blaming the material.
"And that's why our temperature runs so high when we
hear that Auburn didn't have the manpower. That's crazy
stuff." ; •
The writer goes on to include Bobby Weaver (out all season
with a sugar deficiency), Dickie Flournoy (out half the
season with a broken hand) and Allan Parks (out three games
with a broken leg) as part of the loaded material present
at the Plains. Weaver hasn't even been on the Auburn roster
since the first week of practice and if the author of that
article remembered that he had Auburn readers, too, even
though the Tigers have been down, he would start doing a
little research on the Plainsmen.
Regardless of where the blame at Auburn lies, his state*
ments were unqualified and untimely. This particular writer
is the same writer who exactly one year ago was the first
to urge the signing of Coach Brown to a long-term contract.
The Auburn team and the Auburn student body showed
the greatest spirit in the world last week at Birmingham. The
players never gave up and the Auburn stands were full to
the final whistle. Coach Brown and his staff are a part of
this spirit and it is this Korher's belief that the present coaching
staff, the players and the student body will be back in
Birmingham next year much stronger than ever. SO THERE!
GO OUT AND LAY YOUR COCONUTS THAT AUBURN
AND EARL BROWN WILL RETURN IN 1951.
Sigma Chi fraternity, with a total of 21 points, took the

- Delta Sigs Take
Grid League Titles
By Benny Stewart
Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha
Epsilon grid elevens won their
intramural touch football leagues
as a result of loop games last
week. Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta
Sigma Phi had clinched titles'
in the other two leagues pre-viously.
The four thus earned the right
to enter the play-off for the fraternity
crown this week. (Results
of play-off games up to press time
are in another story.)
SPE, last year's champion and
League I winner this year, was
the only team which completed the
regular season undefeated. Other
winners' records were SAE, League
II, 6-2; Delta Sig, League III,
7-1, and PiKA, League IV, 6-1. .
In final league games last week,
three of the four played "were decided
by overtimej^sudden death"
periods.
The hardest-fought contest was
between SPE and OTS. Defensive
play of both teams was strong
enough to prevent scoring during
regular play, but SPE gained more
yardage in overtime to win, 1-0.
Hart, Ward and Rice were defensive
standouts for the victors.
Phi Kappa Tau won by a single
point over Lambda Chi Alpha,
7-6, in a League IV game.
The winner's touchdown was
scored on a pass from Holley to
Smith. Bowden was the outstanding
lineman for Lambda Chi.
In the play-off of a protested
game in League IV, Phi Tau beat
ATO, 18-7. Only the fourth quarter
of this tilt was replayed, and
neither team was able to score
during the period.
Kappa Alpha and Kappa Sigma
fought to a deadlock.in a League
II tilt, but Kappa Sig outgained
KA in the overtime period to win,
1-0. Early in the game, KA pushed
to within two yards of the opponent's
goal line, but three passes
• went incomplete and Kappa Sig
took over; In "sudden death" play,
Kappa Sig held the Rebels to no
gain and picked up about two
yards themselves to clinch the
contest.

Tuscaloosa was the scene of the

disaster the jpast week end1
.when tthe Baby Tide ttoppled the
Tiger-Cubs, 29-7.
The tilt was a hard-fought
battle .and ;a fairly even .one .asj
evidenced by the Cubs' outrush-ing
the Capstone ;crew 109 to 106;
yards. The outstanding difference
in the two teams 'was Bama's
ability to.capitalize on the breaks
of the game. The'Elephants made
good on .five .pass interceptions
while the Auburn Plebes scored
only once in six chaiices. ,
At the end of the first half the:
score was knotted at 7-7 despite
the Plainsmen's recovering six
Bama bobbles. The Auburn men
pounced on ifumbles. by the Tiders
on the.28, 22, 18, 1^7, and 10 but
failed .to take advantage of any of
the opportunities. Their only score
came on a recovery by Tackle Jim

Power-Laden Plainsman Plainsmen
Completely Overwhelm Graft Wave
By Tom Duke
A madly-cheering t h r o n g of four people jam-packed Billi
a r d Field last week to see t h e powerful Plainsman Plainsmen
completely overwhelm a hapless, inept, u n d e r - m a n n e d Glome-r
a t a Graft Wave team. 6-0. Scoring at will, t h e Plainsmen
kept t h e Graft Wave's backs to t h e ' b a l l all afternoon as they
completed an undefeated, untied,
and unscored-on season with a
resounding win over their traditional
rival.
The Plainsmen have been invited
to meet the Auburn Alumnews
Ole Grads, winners of the A.P.I.
alumni newspaper league, in the
annual Paper Bowl game New
Year's day. At press time it was
not known whether the Plainsmen
would-be able to. participate in the
New Year's classic due to a previous
commitment to meet the
Auburn Review Reviewers in a
benefit game to raise money for
bricks for Broun Hall.
The Plainsman-Glomerata tilt,
marking the final attraction of the
Bhie Key-sponsored Homecoming
activities, proved to be the highlight
of the week as The Plainsman
unveiled a veritable galaxy
of stars in steam-rolling the helpless
till-dippers. The tilt was marred
only by the groans of stricken
Graft Wave linemen.
Alternate-Captain Bruce Green-hill
was alternate-captain of the
Plainsmen and handled the passing
chores in the absence of Tom
Duke, stellar Plainsman quarter-
'back. Duke was unable to play
due to -injuries incurred while
participating in the intramural
casino-shuffleboard contest. Despite
the loss of Duke's daring
breakaway running and needle-threading
passing, the Plainsmen
managed to live up to advance
notices printed in The Plainsman;
leading campus publication, and
preserve their perfect record.
, Among the stars of the^ game
were Jeff Crew Sellers, Ben En-finger,
Gene Byrd, Bunny Honr
nicker, Tom Morrissey, Archie
Stapleton, Gene Moore, L. A.
Casey, and Gordon Higgins. The
