Birmingham Will Watch
For Usual Display
Of Auburn Spirit
By War Eagle
I'll be in Birmingham to­morrow,
ready to watch the
Plainsmen boil a little Terra­pin
stew.
You know, it's a funny thing,
but the Auburn spirit just
can't be beat. It Jiever has, and
I don't believe it ever will.
I heard a fellow say the
other • day: "Darn if it isn't the
most extraordinary thing I've ever
seen. Auburn can lose every foot­ball
game, and when the last game
is over, you can still hear "War
Eagles" above the loudest yell the
opposing rooter can produce."
And tie was riflht. Win or lose,
the Auburn spirit never dies.
Birmingham fans will realize
that tomorrow, for I've a healthy
feeling that no matter who's on
the long end of the score, the
air will be full of "War Eagles!"
I'll be hovering over Legion
Field tomorrow, watching a highr
ly-rated bunch of "Northerners"
get a taste of Southern hospitality,
Auburn style. And it'll please me
no end if it's an extremely bitter
taste.
New Faces Abundant—
There are more new faces on
the campus now than I've seen in
quite a few years. It's always a
pleasure for me to watch the arri­val
of each year's freshmen. It re­minds
me of the great times that
they'll have before June, 1956, rolls
around.
By that time, they'll be famil­iar
with the Auburn spirit, what
it is, and what it means, and
they'll be eager to tell younger
students about it.
They'll learn and tell others
about how the Auburn spirit is as
intangible as a ghost, yet as warm
and friendly as a handclasp and a
smile. They'll soon be proud of a
spirit composed of many customs
and traditions that have developed
through the years, being passed on
to succeeding students by Auburn
men and women who realized that
tradition is the foundation of Au-burn^
s extraordinary individuality
and greatness.
The spirited shouting of my name
that will increase in volume as
each Saturday game comes along
is one of the outward examples of
the true Auburn spirit.
May the "War Eagles" ring loud,
long and clear in Birmingham to­morrow.
I've got faith, in Coach
Jordan and the Plainsmen. If it's
at all possible, I believe they'll win.
At any rate, whatever the score,
I hope to look down and see the
Auburn student body out in full
strength tomorrow, supporting the
Plainsmen to the hilt.
Auburn Opens With Maryland Tomorrow In Birmingham
Greetings From President Draughon
I extend greetings and a hearty welcome to the student
body. We are delighted that so many upperclassmen have
returned this year, and that we have such a large and promis­ing
group of new students.
I wish for each of you a successful year in your studies
and in the many constructive student activities that make up
the democracy that is Auburn. I hope that each of you will
soon become adapted to the routine of classwork after the
summer holidays.
I HOPE THAT the new students will soon come to love
and revere the tradi­tions
of Auburn as ex­pressed
in the Auburn
Creed. They are great
traditions based upon
the belief in hard and
honest work, friendli­ness,
cheerfulness, and
good citizenship. I be­lieve
v e r y sincerely
that there are few stu­dent
bodies in which
the loyalty, the con­structive
citizenship,
and the very respon­sible
leadership are
higher than here in Auburn. These characteristics combine
to make the Auburn Spirit which expresses itself everywhere
on and off the campus, on playing fields, in classrooms, in
the forums, and in the homes of Auburn men and women.
We welcome those students who have transferred to Au­burn
from other colleges and universities. We hope that
you will like and understand your new associates.
You will find that students, faculty, and administrative

College Authorities Predict Increase
Of More Than 400 Over Last Year
By Les Ford
As Auburn opened another academic year this week, the
overall student enrollment appeared likely to exceed 6,000,
an increase of some 400 over last year.
Registrar Charles Edwards said that, while the total en­rollment
was not expected to surpass the 1948 all-time record
of 7,600, a new high appears cer­tain
for the freshman class and
women students.
OVER 1,500 FRESHMEN have
registered and with the comple­tion
of registration 'today, it is
expected that the figure will be
nearer to 1,600. This exceeds the
all-time record of 1,128 by ap­proximately
400 students.
With the opening of the five
new girls dormitories, the office
of the Dean of Women reported
that this year more women stu­dents
are being housed by the
college than ever before in his­tory.
About 1,150 girls have been
slated for college housing at press
time. This figure represents some
550 freshmen and transfers and
compares with the capacity of
728 for last year.
Informed sources believe that
the total female enrollment will
exceed 1,700, and also break the
standing record. *
IN COMMENTING on the en­rollment
boom, Edwards stated,
"Although,we had expected a loss
in enrollment from last year, re­gistration
has risen and may ex­ceed
6,000." However, Auburn
citizens who observe housing con­ditions
have predicted that the
enrollment will reach the 6,500
mark.
With the college and city hous­ing
facilities virtually exhaust­ed,
the shortage of-housing espe­cially
for unmarried students,
again has become a serious prob­lem.
H. F. VALLERY, coordinator of
men's housing, reports that those
men students who are unable to
procure housing in the city, are
being temporarily housed in
Alumni Hall.
Some 400 men were on the
waiting list, for Magnolia Hall at
the beginning of the quarter.
Ward, Hickey To Air
Tiger Grid Contests
Bill Hickey will do the play-by­play
and Bill Ward will do the
color for the Auburn football
games which will be broadcast
over the largest network ever to
carry Auburn football. WAUD
will be the only East Alabama out­let
for the network.
Both Bills are well qualified for
their assignments. Hickey began
his athletic career at North Dallas
High where he participated in all
sports. After serving three years
in the Marine Corps, he played
varsity center at Harvard. He
learned his football under coaches
Dick Harlow and Art Valpey, and
was one of the outstanding line­backers
in the Ivy League.
Bill Ward is familiar to many
Alabama Broadcasting System lis­teners
as the man who calls the
Birmingham Baron baseball games.
In addition to baseball, Bill was
color man for the University of
Alabama broadcasts last season.
He also did the college basketball
broadcasts over WSGN-FM last
year.

Tigers Endanger Terp Win Streak;
Legion Field Kickoff Time Is 2 p.m.
By Dave "Foots" Laney
Plainsman Sports Editor
' Coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan's Auburn Tigers commence
their rugged 10-game gridiron agenda for 1952 when they
meet the Universty of Maryland's mighty Terrapins on Bir­mingham's
Legion Field tomorrow. Kickoff time is 2 p.m.
Despite a 15-point underdog role, Coach Jordan maintains
the Plainsmen are going to the
Magic City to win and won't be
satisfied unless they do.
THE HIGH-RANKED TERPS
of Coach Jim Tatum, while seek­ing
to redeem themselves after a
close 13-10 verdict over Missouri
last week, will also attempt to ex­tend
their skein of unbeaten games
to 17. Their last loss was to North
Carolina State in October, 1950,
and the only blot on their record
since then was a tie with North
Carolina three weeks following
the State affair.
After losing all 10 games in
1950, Auburn rebounded under
Coach Jordan to win five of its
first six games last season, in­cluding
victories over Vanderbilt,
Tulane, and Florida. Though drop­ping
the last four contests on the
1951 schedule, the Tigers finished
with an impressive 5-5-0 record.
AUBURN RETURNS 25 of 39
lettermen and are considered to
be a generally improved eleven
with more speed and weight. Out­standing
men whose eligibility ex­pired
are backs Homer Williams
and Allan Parks and linemen Dave
Ridgway, Joe Tiburzi, Gene Mul-hall,
and Ed "Foots" Bauer.
Maryland lost 17 lettermen but
still came back with 24 experienc­ed
men. Their main losses through
graduation were Ed "Mighty Mo"
Modzelewski, Bob Shemonski,
Dave Cianelli, Joe Moss, Bob Ward,
Pete Ladygo, and Ed Kensler.
IN ADDITION to warranting a
gaze from the football nation, the
Auburn-Maryland clash promises
to be one of the most colorful
programs ever held on Legion
Field.
Not only does it present the
ninth placed "Comeback of 1951"
team, but also the victor of the re­nowned
Sugar Bowl classic.
Then there are individuals who
are seeking all-America recogni-vibrations
nterpreting tackle of
mammoth frame, Dick Modzelew­ski,
candidate for "Lineman of the
Year," and Jack Scarbath, post-season
nominee for "Player of the
Year."

By Godfrey Bennett r
Methodist students at A u b u r n will find the answers to
t h e i r spiritual needs at the Wesley Foundation, college stu­dent
division of the Auburn Methodist Church. >,,.-,.
Foundation director, Reverend Joe Neal Blair, is always
available for guidance and advice, and the Church pastor,
Reverend Joel McDavid, is also r '. '
Interest groups in drama, choir,
orchestra, and photography, and
24 standing committees meet every
Sunday afternoon during each
quarter. .. ...
Whatever a .student's, interest
may be, there is room for. it at the
Foundation.
FOR ALL, there is a place for
service in the church, community,
and country. Deputation teams
visit other . churches in Alabama
to explain the work of the Founda­tion
and to | assist in setting up;
worship and recreational programs.
Groups form during each week
to visit students here in Auburn
to tell them of the part of their
life which should be occupied by
God. .
• SPORTS TOO have a place in
the life of the Foundation. Foot­ball
in the fall, basketball in win-t.
ter, softball, volley ball, and bowl­ing
in the spring and summer,
are all activities of thfe Founda­tion.
The outstanding feature of the
Wesley Foundation is that it af-,
fords an opportunity for spiritual
development. God has a definite
place in-the life of every Founda­tion
member.- On Sunday morn­ings,
after a period of fellow­ship
and singing hymns, there
are classes, with subjects of per­tinent
interests to students.
SUNDAY EVENINGS, varied
programs of worship, music, and
discussions are held.
Thursday evenings, a welcome
pause in the busy, hurried life of
the student is a period of medita­tive
thought 'and silence in the
sanctuary. Renewed with a faith
in God and His world, members
leave the sanctuary with new de­termination.
IT IS FELT t h a t working
playing, and worshipping in a
Christian atmosphere will develop
better men and women.

Ag Facts—
FFA Membership
Open To Students
By Owen Lee
Students i n agricultural
education, and other college
students who were FFA mem­bers
in high school, are urged
to attend FFA meetirigs that
will be held in Thach Hall
Auditorium.
Freshmen arc especially invited
to the meetings. In the past there
has been the
misconception
that the col­legiate
FFA
chapter c o n ­sists
o n l y of
students e n ­rolled
in agri­cultural
edu­cation.
But ac­cording-
to the national constitu­tion
and by-laws of the Future
Farmers of America, Article III,
Section D:
"This may include all trainees
preparing to teach vocational
agriculture, and former active
FFA members of chartered local
chapters who may be enrolled in
the institution cone*erned."
MEMBERS who are active in
the collegiate chapter, and those
who meet certain requirements,
receive a certificate of merit upon
graduation.
The schedule of meetings for the
quarter follows: October 14 and '28,
November 11 and 25, December 9
and 23. |
This is the first in a series of
articles about the work of the
college*FFA, for the benefit of
those preparing to teach vocational
agriculture.
First, a 1 few words about how
the organization operates. Collegi­ate
chapters are designed pri­marily
for training prospective
teachers of vocational agriculture
in their duties as local advisors of
the FFA, and it may be established
only in institutions officially rec­ognized
in state plans for voca­tional
education, approved by the
U. S. Office of Education for the
training of teachers of vocational
agriculture.
On the. high school level, pro­grams
of work participated in by
all members are set up annually
by every chapter, each state associ­ation,
and the national organiza­tion.
Programs are built on the
needs of the individual and the
community.
All FFA activities are boy-initiated
and boy-directed. Re­sults
attained, therefore, are due
to farmer-training objectives set
up and carried out by the boys
themselves. Cooperation, group
thinking, and purposeful action
are displayed in all programs of
work. .
The FFA in high school was de­signed
to supplement training op­portunities
for boys working to­ward
establishment in a farming
business.
The question may be asked,
"What becomes of members?" To
answer this question, one has only
to observe and review trie records
of outstanding members who are
making good as young farmer-leaders
in their home communi­ties.
Thousands also have passed on
into the ranks of the Grange, Farm
Bureau and Farmers' Union, tis
well as other agricultural and civic
organizations, to fill creditable
places of trust and responsibility
while in their youth.

M
A Warm Welcome To Freshmen
By now this fall's record-breaking
freshman class is in the thick of registra­tion,
and wondering if it's worth the
trouble.
Without another thought, we'll answer
that query with a positive "Yes!" It's
worth it, and then some, although almost
every student has had his doubts at times
during his first year.
As the quarters click by, Auburn will
become dearer to e v e r y freshman.
The worries, mistakes, and inconvenien­ces
will become trivial beside his true
feelings for the Auburn campus and what
it represents.
Have a chat with some graduating sen­ior.
We dare say that his fond expressions
for Auburn and his reluctance to leave will
be surprising to a student in his first
quarter here.
But those feelings will inevitably be
shared by every Auburn student.
Auburn is rich in opportunities. There
are activities in which any student may
find an interest. Student Government has
various openings for political-minded stu­dents,
both men and women; campus re­ligious
organizations would welcome stu­dents
interested in expanding Christian
emphasis throughout the institution; publi­cations
offer excellent chances of advance­ment
for students in any field, and the
college's several honoraries are fine goals
for which new students may aim.
To the class of 1956, we extend a warm
welcome, along with the many you've,al­ready
received this week. We urge each
of you to take stock of your plans for the
future, and then get to work. Your career
at Auburn can be the most meaningful
four years of your lives, if you want it
to be.
It's a trite thing to say, we realize, but
we'd feel guilty if we passed up this op­portunity
to impress upon you the impor­tance
of doing your dead-level best every
quarter. Take advantage of the oppor­tunities
that are yours as a young college
student; be energetic, friendly, and willing .
to help your fellow students make this
college an even greater institution.
Give it your best, and Auburn will
mean more to you.
Jim Foy Serves Auburn
As Friend Of Students
New Registration Runs Smoothly, Except...
\ Though all the freshmen have not yet
finished registration, it appears to us that
this quarter's system is the smoothest job
Auburn has seen in many years.
Some students have completed the en­tire
process of registration in less than 20
minutes, which certainly points toward a
well coordinated plan. Even pre-registra-tion
was never so easy.
. With only one or two exceptions, the
new system has worked beautifully. One
of these could hardly have been avoided,
but the other was definitely unwarranted.
College Physician M. W. Brown report­ed
that his staff was unable to handle the
unexpected number of new students, and
there has been sortie difficulty in speed­ing
the group through the physical exam­ination
line. Brown felt that one other
doctor would have been sufficient to
handle the extra 300 or more students, but
obtaining another experienced physician
at a moment's notice is not a simple matter.
It was noi until sometime yesterday
that a dean's checker was sent to Biggin
Hall to sign the class schedule cards of
Pharmacy students. And so far as we
could learn, Pharmacy Dean L. S. Blake
should have had a checker in Biggin
from the time registration began Wed-,
nesday morning.
This failure to comply with the plans
set up by the Council of Deans not only
lessened the total efficiency of the new
method, but also caused unnecessary walk­ing
for many Pharmacy students. It meant
that these students had to walk to Miller
Hall, (practically a half mile from Biggin)
check with Dean Blake, walk up to Biggin
and pull their punched cards, return to
Miller to have Dean Blake autograph
their schedule cards, and trudge back up to.
Biggin to obtain; the registrar's signature.
Quite a bit of walking. And all this while
other deans followed the specified plan
and had checkers on hand in Biggin. Other
schools that are located quite some dis­tance
from Biggin made it even simpler
by setting up temporary quarters in Big­gin,
permitting their students to complete
registration in Biggin alone.
We understand that Dean Blake was
asked several times to send a checker to
Biggin, which he should have done immed­iately.
But he refused to do so until
Thursday morning when he was again
asked.
We realize that Dean Blake will prob­ably
read this editorial, chuckle a couple
of times, and dismiss it without another
thought. And we realize also that Dean
Blake has the authority to run the Phar­macy
School as he sees fit.
But we hope that he will seriously
consider the value of adhering to the pro­posed
plans, so that next time his stu­dents
will be permitted to register with­out
the undue trouble caused them
this week.
API Enrollment Defies Trend
While colleges in all parts of the nation
are reporting decreases in enrollment of
between 8 and 10 per cent, Auburn housing
officials are wondering where the tre­mendous
influx of students registering for
the fall term are going to find living
quarters.
Nearly 1,600 freshmen have shattered
the previous frosh enrollment record, and
more women students are being housed by
the college than ever before. Add to this
about 300 men students still searching for
permanent quarters.
Townspeople long ago reported no more
vacancies for students, and it appears that
this fall's enrollment will mark a 500 or
more increase over the 1951 fall group. It
has been reported that more than one-fifth
of the total national population will
be in schools and colleges this year, and
Auburnites are inclined to agree.
For several years now, men have said
that Auburn was on the progress high­way,
building toward a greater Auburn.
To us, this week's surprising enrollment
stands out like a beacon light, pointing
to the fact that Auburn's not just moder­ately
coasting along, but is flying ahead
in high gear.
New dormitories, a new dining hall, a
union building, modern classroom build­ings,
an increased enrollment—all these
are the results of a determined collegiate
group's sincere struggle to attain the high­est.
As students at Auburn during this
amazing era of expansion, we can be justly
proud that we have the opportunity of
being a small part of an institution of
higher learning that is destined to become
the finest in the Southeast.
We may be called braggarts, but the
facts are there for all to see. Let others
. call it what they will. We've got some­thing
at Auburn, and we feel like shout­ing
it from the rooftops, for all America
to hear.
That's one big reason for our rise in
enrollment, too. High school students are
hearing about Auburn, and they're coming
here to find out' among other things why
the loudest yell to be heard anywhere is al­ways
"War Eagle," no matter who wins the
game. They're coming here to gain an
education in an atmosphere that's un-equaled
by any other college campus any­where.
"Now, now, Worthal—just lie back an' relax—anyone
could fumble a ball on th' goal line."
Roommate Problems Neatly Solved
By Consulting Author's New Booklet
By Charles Sullivan
If you are a typical Auburn student, you have a roommate.
Perhaps you have two or more roommates. If so, keep reading.
For the first few days, you sized up your roomie and vice-versa.
In case you had roomed, with the character previously,
everything was greatly simplified. You shook hands, ex-'
changed a few friendly curses, borrowed a couple of dollars,
and settled into the regular-routine.
Upon greeting their old roommates, the young ladies in the
numbered buildings complimented therrf profusely while men­tally
noting that dear little roomie had gain­ed
several pounds in the wrong pl'aces.
Here are a fe'w suggestions for those who
have new roommates. Remember this, he or
she probably isn't as peculiar as he or she
looks and acts.
What if he does prefer to sleep on the
floor?
^ Jf What if she does wear chartreuse paja­mas?
What if she does prefer boiled okra a la
mode for breakfast?
Don't.make snap decisions and.anove out of a perfectly
good room.
By taking advantage of inhuman nature you may gain the
upper hand and be king of your'10 by 10 home. Most students
treat their roommates with consideration and kindness for at
least a few days.
Be sure to capitalize on the situation. While your roomie
i s being polite you can obtain the best bed, the most comfor­table
chair, best desk location, a n * the privilege of playing
your radio at all times, jj
It is absolutely necessary to gain these concessions at the
very start of the school year. Within a few weeks, all con­sideration
will probably vanish, and it will be impossible even
to borrow money from other inmates of your cell block.
Familiarity breeds contempt, if not worse..
In case these suggestions don't solve all roommate prob­lems,
just order my booklet, "How to Make Friends With Your
Roommate." Here are some sample gems of wisdom from
the booklet.

"Friendship makes prosperity
brighter, while it lightens adver­sity
by showing its griefs and an­xieties."—
Cicero
To the freshmen and new
students, I'd like to extend a
hearty welcome. Here at the
loveliest village we are proud
of our school and are pleased
that you think enough of it to
want to make it your alma
mater, too.
Auburnites have many reasons
to be proud of their school but
above all stands
the spirit of co­operation
and
f r i e n d 1 i ness
with which we
have been so
generously en­dowed.
The tra­ditional
reputa"
tion for friend­liness
that has
long been syn-
"Auburn" is
possibly the reason that many of
you newcomers have placed your
trust in our institution.
College mean's a lot of hard
work — the "Auburn Spirit"
seems to take the pang out of
labor. However, there are times
when the student gets into a
tough spot and really needs a
friend to turn to for advice,
sympathy or consolation. To
those new students and students
that have not already met him,
I would like to introduce a true
Ford
onomous with
friend of the Auburn student,
James E. Foy.
Mr. Foy arrived on the campus
in 1950 to serve as assistant direc­tor
of student affairs, and in the
relatively short time hence has
won the respect and friendship of
all who have been associated with
him. This last summer upon the
resignation of T. C. Clark as Di­rector
of Student Affairs, Foy was
quickly elevated to the important
position.
There could have been no bet­ter
successor, for in Mr. Foy the
welfare of the Auburn student
is at heart. He understands and
talks the language of the younger
generation. As a result, most
students seem to have a respect
for his opinion that is unparal­leled
by none.
I often think of the respect that
students showed for him during
the "pantie'raid scare" of last year.
As the boys gathered for the march
on the dorms, Mr. Foy "moved
among the crowd, talking to dif­ferent
ones here and there. He
never raised his voice above the
usual conservational t o n e and
wherever he was, there was al­ways
a group that gathered around
to hear his words of wisdom.
And when they had heard, they
were ready to go home. I did not
hear a single jeer or wisecrack
from crowds that gathered around.
while on the night before the Uni­versity's
dean of men (an equiva­lent
of Foy's position) was insult­ed,
cursed and considerably rough­ed
up while trying to handle the
same sort of situation.
Foy received his A.B. degree
from the University of Alabama in
1939 and his master's degree in«,
sociology and anthropology in 1951.
He has been assistant to the dean
of students and assistant dean of
men at the University of Alabama.
Foy is a member of Who's Who in
the South and Southwest, Phi Beta
Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa and
Sigma Nu social fraternity.
Performing the duties of di­rector
of student affairs keeps
Mr. Foy on the run almost 24
hours a 'day, but I have seldom
seen the time that he was too
busy to take a few minutes off
to consider a student's problems.
Most of the time he even goes
out of his way doing more than
just offering a few words of ad-
Vice.
He can hardly take a walk from
his office in Samford to Ross
without having to stop three of
four times for a chat with a stu­dent.
And even these chats are
frequently interrupted by greet­ings
frdm passing friends.
In discussing his recent appoint­ment
at Auburn, Foy stated, "I
am deeply honored in being ap­pointed
director of Student Affairs.
My association with Auburn stu­dents
have been some of the most
pleasant experiences of my life."
With men like "Jim" Foy at the
helm, how can we miss our "Great­er
Auburn" goal?

What is this thing called college?
That's a question that has been
brought to my attention by a
number of freshmen lately.
If I knew the answer to that
one question, I'd probably be the
only student in Auburn who could
explain why the termites in Broun
Hall wear parachutes and count­less
other mysteries that have con­fronted
Auburn students since
Athey's started serving spaghetti
with soda straws.
But the majority of students
don't think about things like that
when we have football, games,
parties,.dances and er—oh yeah—
classes to attend. All the advice
that I can give to you frosh is
this, don't ever write the letters
WO in front the sign on the vari­ous
"little boys' rooms"—it makes
college life even more confusing.

The other day I was rummaging
through an old trunk that my
brother and I used to do Hou-dini's

old diary of Nick's titled, "Two

* * *
The primary function of The
Plainsman is to provide complete
and accurate coverage of campus
events and activities in a publica­tion
which is useful and readily
available to all students.
T h i s func­tion
is amplified
by the simplest
rules of good
n e w s p a p e r
practice, and by
the fact that the
paper owes its
e x i s t ence to
f u n d s derived
from s t u d e n t
Hall activities fees.«
Dependence on student fees
makes the issue of service to stu­dents
the primary one in Plains­man
production.

monstrosity by announcing that
the device was a sure cure for
people with eye trouble, deafness,
dandruff, coated tongue, buck

other diseases of the latrine, err,

"We cut 12 heads off of

them off stage amid the applause
and retreat of the audience.
Since we were hard up for
money, Cedric and I decided to
shrink the heads and sell them
to the circus for a buck a piece.

sell for that sum. »
"For four hours we shrunk all
the heads except one. We tried
every formula in the college chem­istry
book and still it wouldn't
shrink.

The college weekly provides a
second type of service for both
students and local merchants by
furnishing a convenient advertis­ing
medium. Since API students
and employees hold a large portion
of the city's buying power, a very
respectable percentage of local
sales volume hinges on products
and services publicized irl The
Plainsman's advertising columns.
Good relations with alumni,
other individuals, a n ( j institutions
throughout the South are another
problem faced by staffers, and
the slant of all Plainsman stories
is aimed toward maintenance of
good will, provided that such a
slant does not conflict with certain
established policies.
Finally, The Plainsman attempts
to furnish a weekly installment of
sound, logical, and intelligently
constructed editorial opinion.
These editorial columns repre­sent
a great deal of thought and
effort on the part of their writers.
Some times they contain faulty
logic, irrevalent arguments, and in­significant
topics, but never-the-less,
they represent an honest ef­fort
by a small group of students,
who wish to inform, entertain, or
stimulate serious thought among
other members of the student body.
Under no circumstances can The
Plainsman's editorial comment be
interpreted as an accurate sum­mary
of the majority of the stu­dents,
or of any individual other
than the writer. No effort is made
to reflect student opinion in the
editorials, since to do so with any
degree of accuracy would be
highly impractical, if not abso­lutely
impossible.
Student' opinion is not excluded
however, since it may be expressed
in the letters column, which is
open to all readers. No restrictions
are placed on material printed in
the letters column except the ordi­nary
rules of good taste and good
English. All students are permit­ted
and urged to make use of the
column, whether for bouquets or
brickbats. '
While bearing in mind all these
objectives, the members of the The
Plainsman staff hope to produce a
newspaper of professional quality.
An ample summary of this pur­pose
is found on the paper's name-plate
in the words "To Foster The
Auburn Spirit."
Many a guy who thinks he is
handing a girl a line is being
neatly lassoed.

Traditions, Customs
Show API Growth
For Past 80 Years
By Herbert White
As Samford Hall opens its
historic doors to 1,500 fresh­men
this fall, it will mark the
80th session of school at Au­burn.
As these freshmen begin their
quest for higher learning, it is
only fitting that they know of the
opportunities, the landmarks, the
many traditions, and the great
"War Eagle" Spirit.
Auburn has many significant
landmarks. Probably the best
known of these is Samford Hall,
completed in 1888. Old Samford
has seen over 22,000 students re­ceive
degrees from Alabama Poly­technic
Institute.
Another important landmark of
Auburn is the main gate, which
no freshman dares pass through.
The Lathe, another famous mark
on the campus, is located in the
shadows of Samford Hall. Used
tc manufacture arms for the Con­federacy
during the war between
the states, the machine was later
retired to its present position.
LEGEND HAS IT that the wheel
on the Lathe will burst into activ­ity
if the proper moment ever
arrives.
Auburn's growth in the past
several years into Alabama's
largest college is spectacular, but
not surprising. Auburn is now
better equiped to meet the re­quirements
of its students than
ever before. At this institution
a sudent may get training in agri­culture,
chemistry, physics, engi­neering,
home economics, teach­ing,
pharmacy, and architecture.
Whether he cares to take ad­vantage
of t h e s e opportunities
is entirely up to him. During the
next four years new students will
have to answer the question^Will
we study so that we can go out
into life and be successful or will
we waste our time, effort and
money?
One of Auburn's noted tradi­tions
is the ''Rat Hat." Each
freshman is honored to wear one
of the orange and blue hats
during his first year. Only when
Auburn defeats Bama in football
is the poor frosh allowed to go
without his cap.
Another highly respected tra­dition
it the pajama parade which
precedes the Auburn-Georgia Tech
football game. All freshmen (boys)
are required to parade through the
downtown area in their best bed
wear.
"War' Eagle," the beloved
battle cry of the Auburn Tiger,
I an outward sign of the Auburn
Spirit. Tales of the origin of
thlB tradition are many and
varied, but the familiar, mean­ingful
words will be heard
wherever Auburn men gather.
Success is the ability to get-along
with some people and ahead
of others.

Terp, Tiger Defined As Natural Enemies;
'Shug' Also Plays 'Behind-Scenes' Role
Webster defines the T e r r a p i n as a n edible t u r t l e of t he
Middle Atlantic and Southern States. On t h e other hand
t h e Tiger is said to b e a flesh eating animal belonging to t h e
cat family. Therefore, by t h e s e definitions, we m a y s ay t h a t
if n a t u r e has i t s way, a Tiger of A u b u r n v a r i e t y should thrive
upon a T e r r a p i n of t h e M a r y l a n d species at t h e long awaited
fiesta in Birmingham tomorrow.
But aside from the attempt at humor above there is an interesting
story behind the Auburn-Maryland scene as far as Coach Shug Jordan
is concerned.
When Jordan was in his final year (1950)
as assistant coach at Georgia the same Mary-landers
came to Athens, Ga., ranked near the
top of thG football heap just as they are now.
Georgia was expected to have a mediocre
year. • "•" '. ",
-^Jordan Scouted Taturn in 1949
Throughout the year before this encounter
Jordan scouted Maryland and with great pre­cision
noted details of the split-T of Jim
Tatum. His adept scouting was the. basis for
Georgia's stunning 27-7 upset triumph over
the Terps.
His last look at the boys from College Park
was when they were spanking Tennessee
28-13 in the Sugar Bowl. Then he didn't know those who won would
be on the Auburn schedule for this fall, but still his familiarization
with the Tatum system from three years back could play an influencing
role in solving Maryland tomorrow.
After seeing quarterback Jack Scarbath, et a I., work out in New
Orleans, Coach Jordan says the Pre-season All-America selectee is
all, and posibly more, than he is supposed to be when on the gridiron.
"I think our boys will be ready for Maryland," the affable Au­burn
mentor revealed to a reporter as the 1952 edition of the Plains­men
hustled through their final Saturday scrimmage, "and if they're
not they'll miss a good chance to be ready," he added, with a note of
humorous sincerity in his voice.
In their initial game the Tigers will don white pants with a thin
blue stripe on each sifie; navy blue jerseys with bold white numerals,
and top this outlay of sharpness with white helmets.
At press time it was.unknown as to the uniform combination the
Terps will wear, but i t is suspected the "Yankee invader" will appear
on Legion Field in its conventional crimson shirts, white pants, and
white helmets.
With only hours remaining before the onset of his second cam­paign
as top football man in the Loveliest Village, Jordan refused to
peer beyond tomorrow's fray and into the rugged 10-game schedule
his gridders will complete. As often suggested, it is probably much
more profitable to take 'em as you come to 'em—one by one.
—Psychological Factor Favors Terps
A fortnight ago the psychological factor concerning this clash tend­ed
to favor Auburn inasmuch as the Terps were expected to ease by
Missouri in their opener after building up for it all summer. Then in
their second contest the Terps were anticipated to fall into somewhat
a daze of over-confidence.
But now the mental factor leans away from the Plains since the
Marylanders were hard-pressed in gaining a 13-10 win over Missouri.
So Tatum's boys will try hard at Auburn's expense to make up for
their laxity with which they played the Midwest Tigers. This means
that Legion Field spectators will witness two teams who are ready,
battling in an extremely rugged gridiron classic.
—Tigers, But Not Record, To Be Better
Taking a chance on jeopardizing the friendship between this
desk and Coach Jordan by predicting victories and losses now for
the entire season, we'll ease up the tree and out onto the limb
with great care. Of 10 games, Auburn's supposed to win only two
or three, a conclusion of the experts. But here it looks like the
Plainsmen might finish 5-5-0 with wins over Wofford, Tulane,
Florida, Mississippi State and Clemson. A better record would
evidence radical deviation from the expected.
Twenty-three of Auburn's varsity will make home appearances
tomorrow on Legion Field. Included are Capt. Lee Hayley, formerly
of Birmingham's Ensley High, and Alt. Capt. Bill McMurry, ex-prepper
at Birmingham's neighbor, Fairfield. The squad presents
43 men from the State of Alabama.
—Tiger Topics
—Sterling (Associated Press) Slappey—"Auburn has been getting
ready for Maryland for nine months . ' . . ' a n d may give the Sugar
Bowl Champs a hard time. Auburn-Maryland is one of the two top-ranked
sectional features of the week, along with Georgia Tech-
Florida." . • * -• "
—Furman .(Atlanta Constitution) Bisher—"The Terps, most im­pressive
football team in the universe the day they rolled Tennessee in
the Sugar Bowl, stand unchallenged as the most fearsome squad in
the Southern Conference."
Baby Tigers Prepare For Alabama Frosh
BOB SCARBROUGH, Troy, is
the only freshman on Auburn's
defensive starting lineup.

Varsity Linebacking Post Assigned
To Troy Freshman, Bob Scarbrough
By Tom Collins
; Few freshmen ever play much SEC football, much less
begin their college career as a s t a r t e r against, a t e am rated
No. 1 in t h e nation.
But t h a t ' s t h e case with frosh Bob Scarbrough, who'll be
in A u b u r n ' s defensive s t a r t i n g unit S a t u r d a y as a linebacker,
when the Tigers meet mighty
Maryland.
SCARBROUGH will team with
sophomore Jack Locklear, Fort
Payne, to give Shug Jordan two
of the youngest linebackers in the
game. And though they're young
and inexperienced, they're hard
as nails and can tackle as good as
any on the Plainsman squad.
Even though they realize that
it's often dangerous to have a
freshman on a team's first string,
Auburn coaches are pleased that
Scarbrough is reliable in earning
the varsity berth. Until his a r ­rival
on the scene, Auburn was
sadly lacking one good linebacker.
Y O U T H F U L ROBERT, was
completely overlooked until a
couple of weeks ago. He wasn't
even given a scholarship until
after the first Saturday scrim­mage
of the fall workouts.
A solid, husky 18-year-old,
Scarbrough prepped at Troy,
where he drew few glances from
college scouts in their search for
talent. He came to Auburn only
on a stroke of luck.
A DETERMINED alumni from
Troy stayed on the phone con­stantly
last fall, trying his best
to sell Scarbrough as a grid pros-'
pect. But nobody wanted to buy.
He was just too slow for.college
football, or so everyone thought.
Then in the Alabama state
track meet in Auburn, the Tiger
coacho^ took notice. They watch­ed
with some degree of fascina­tion
as the black-haired compe­titor
won first places in the high
hurdles, pole vault, and discus,
and finished second in the 100-.
yards dash. After the meet was
concluded, Scarbrough was nam­ed
runner-up to the "Most out­standing
Athlete" of the meet.
BUT EVEN THEN, Plainsman
coaches cjid not figure him ready
to play conference football. When
fall drills began, he was assign­ed
to the freshman squad without
a thought of the varsity.
But the tune changed after a
week of scrimmage sessions in
which the freshmen tried to stop
the varsity. Coach Jordan watch­ed
with a smile as the 185-pound
frosh tackled his varsity backs
like a demon.
THE NEXT DAY the red-faced
plebe was elevated to the varsity,
and he's been there since, im­proving
every day, and establish­ing
himself more and more as one
of Jordan's ace linebackers.
Tomorrow will be a big day
for Auburn, but it'll be an even
bigger one for novice Bob Scar­brough.
For he'll be playing in
his first college grid contest, and
against Jim Tatum's highly-rated
Maryland Terps. '
By Tom D u k e '
Head freshman football coach, Dick McGowen has drilled
his frosh forces hard this week, readying t h em for t h e i r big
opening game, w i t h Alabama's Baby Tide next Friday night
in Tuscaloosa.
Faced with the rugged task of molding a winning team
out of about 50 yearlings in four
short weeks, Coach McGowen has
been handicapped even more by
the fact that his boys have had
to play a defensive role against
the varsity, and have not had too
much time to organize.
"WE HAVE SOME of the best
boys in the state," McGowen ex­plained.
But he declined to pre­dict
the outcome of the season.
"We have a spirited bunch, but
we're still uncertain as to how
they'll react under pressure."
After meeting Alabama next
Friday, Auburn returns home to
play host to Georgia and Georgia
Tech to complete their '52 sche­dule.
McGowen and his two assis­tants,
Tom Page and Erich Sauer-brey,
have been pleased by the
running of Birmingham fullback
Billy Whitten, and halfbacks
Ralph McCoy i and Joe Childress.
WHITTEN is a determined,
hard-running line-bucker, whose
feats with the pigskin are more
greatly admired if onlookers are
aware that he broke his back two
years ago, and is still required to
wear a brace.
Childress, 180-pounder, from
Robertsdale, is expected to start
at lefthalf alongside speedy Mc­Coy,
mercury-footed Elkton, Va.,
lad, who is slated for duty at
righthalf.
LANKY BOB O'Neill, - Vicks-burg,
Miss., looks like the prob­able
No. 1 quarterback. Weigh­ing
175, O'Neill is 6-3, and a smart
and tricky field general.
Lanett's Ronnie Whitlock, 197
pounds, will see considerable ac­tion
at center, but he'll probably
share the pivot duties with Dan
Clayton, Birmingham ball-snap­ping
ace.
Bill Conner, Huntsville, and
Vince Nardone, Maplewood, N.J.,
are promising ends, and the tackle
corps is headed by rugged Frank
Abt, Maplewood, N.J., and 230-
pound Frank D'Agostino, another

Tigers To Seek Victory, Not how iScore;
Jordan Announces Probable Lin^Ups
By Tom Collins
"We are going to Birmingham, not to hold the score down,
but to,win," declared Coach Ralph Jordan as his charges be­gan
easing up on the rough work Wednesday.
"Our boys have worked hard and promise to give every­thing
they have," he added.
The Plainsman mentor then r e ­vealed
his probable starting line,
ups, offensive and defensive. He
pointed out that he thought no
particular position is improved
more than another, but the en­tire
unit is generally better than
the 1951 eleven.
AT OFFENSIVE left end stands
Capt. Lee Hayley, 6-2, 200, a Bir­mingham
senior. His counterpart
is Jim Hall, 6-1, 195, a sopho­more
from Haddonfield, N.J.
Danny Stewart, 5-11, 220, a Bir­mingham
behemoth who lettered
in the late forties only to have
the armed services call him be­fore
his eligibility expired, re­turns
as offensive left tackle. A
senior, he will move to left guard
on defense.
Opposite Stewart is sophomore
Ted Neura, also 5-11, 220, another
double duty man who alternates
between offensive right tackle
and defensive right guard. Neu-ra's
home is Brunswick, Ohio.
ED DUNCAN, 5-10, 220, who
lettered in 1951 as a sophomore,
starts at offensive left guard:
Teaming with this Birmingham
gridder is senior Foy Thompson,
5-11, 195, Camden, S.C.
Veteran Guy Bruce, a 6-0, 205
senior from Bessemer, is offen­sive
center.
JUNIOR VINCE DOOLEY, 5-11,
185, Mobile, will call plays
and direct the team from a r e ­sponsible
T-formation quarter­back
post. Dooley's starting back-field
cohorts are Bobby Freeman,
6-1, 185, Decatur, at left halfback,
Bobby Duke, 5-10, 185, Mobile,
junior,„afc right half, and Charles
Hataway, 5-10, 190, Troy at full­back.
Defensively, Alt. Capt. Bill
McMurryy 6-1, 180, Fairfield, sen­ior,
is at&eft end while' the-other
terminal post is held by John
"Pleasant Jack" Langford, 6-0,
185, the hard-luck Griffin,,, Ga.,
senior.
SENIOR BILL Turnbeaugh,
6-3, 265, the Tucumcari, N.M.,
giant who is an All-America can­didate,
will anchor the left side
of the defensive Plainsman line
from his tackle position. Ever­green's
Sam Hanks, 6-2, 225, an
experiefnled senior lineman, is the
defensive right tackle.
Steward and Neura are the de­fensive
guards, left to right.
"CHEROKEE JACK" Locklear,
6-1, 210, a dependable sopho­more
letterman, and freshman
Bobby Scarbrough, 5-11, 185, the
new Troy sensation, hold line­backer
posts. Locklear's home is
Fort Payne. ' - _
Percy Alford, 6-1, 190, a lean
Birmingham senior, and Fulton's
Herbert Jordan, 5-11, 190, a sen­ior,
handle the defensive half­back
chores.
BOBBY JORDAN, 5-8, 155, the
smallest man to start against the
Terps, is a senior who presents
speed and dependability at his
safetyman's: position.
Auburn To Play
Three Home Games
Auburn will kick the lid off of
its '52 home game schedule Satur­day,
Oct 11, when the Wofford
Terriers invade Cliff Hare Sta­dium.

Bill 'Radar' Turnbeaugh To Listen
For Terp Vibrations At Left Tackle
By Tom Duke
When Auburn takes the field tomorrow against the No. 1
team in the nation, the eyes of Auburn fans^will turn to the
man who can't gaze back,
Bill Turnbeaugh, better known by ^football men around
him as "Radar," is the man who will lea'cjr.the Tigers defensive
line against one of the best of
Bill Turnbeaugh
fensive units in Dixie.
LOOKING AT BIG BILL from
the charts, one doesn't wonder
why this responsibility is his.
Weighing 265 and standing 6-4,
huge Bill is also gifted with abil­ity
and team spirit beyond im­pair.
There is just one hitch. Turn­beaugh
can't see his hand before
him.
But despite this, Turnbeaugh is
the "hear 'em, feel 'em, grab 'em"
giant w h o made Collier's All-
America list last month.
SINCE-the Tucumcari, N. Mex.,
behemoth reached the , campus
last fall, he has. steadily been
making headlines for Auburn. In
his first letter year he made third
team All-SEC. M a n y people
thought he would have gone, much
further had it not been for an
arm injury in the Tulane game.
He suffered a broken arm in
that game, but was back in there
playing two games later. He play­ed
the remaining four games with
rubber sponges covering his in­jured
arm during the games, and
wore a cast during the week.
"TURNBEAUGH is the great­est
defensive tackle I've seen any­where,"
says' Shug Jordan. "I'll,
add that if his 'radar system' is
intact this year, Auburn will be
tough because he's the backbone
of our line."
What Jordan means by 'radar
Difference—726
There are 126 pounds difference
between the lightest and heaviest
man on Auburn's '52 football team.
Jackie Creel, at 139-pounds, is the
lightest and All-America .prospect
Bill Turnbeaugh, is heaviest.
system' is that, as Bill says, he
determines' the path of the ball

carrier by ground vibrations, and
the pressure of the opposing
blockers.
If this should be a good season
for Big Bill, and at the present
all signs point to that end, he
should wind up no less than All-
Conference. And if the breaks are
his in the nation-wide publicity,
it would be no surprise to Au-burnites
if Turnbeaugh makes
A11-America. Auburn's l a s t,
tackle to get that distinction was
Bo Russell in 1938.
API Songs Ready
In '45' Albums
Auburn songs are now available
in the popular 45 rpm album as
well as the 78 rpm unbreakable
records.
Joseph B. Sarver, executive
secretary qf the Auburn Alumni
Association, announced that the
records produced jointly by the
alumni association and the API
music department, are available at
the alumni office or the College
Supply Store. Retail price for the
almums is $3.75, with an additional
25 cents for mail orders.
Included on the four sides of
the "strictly Auburn" music are
9uch favorites as the "Alma
Mater," "Tiger Rag," "Glory To
Old Auburn," "Fight 'Em Tiger,"
and "Auburn Victory March." \
" IN ADDITION to the"m6re"rf-miliar
works, two new songs were
included in the album. They are
"Samford Tower," written for the
1952 Sphinx Sing by George
Harris, Grady, and "Hail To Au­burn,"
which utilizes words by
Gene Guazzo, Orange, N.J., and
the music of a Grieg piano piece
as arranged by Walter Collins, a
member of the music department
faculty.
Performers for the discs, which
were recorded in early May by
a special RCA Victor crew, are
members of the Greater Auburn
Band, and the API Mixed Chorus
and Men's Glee Club. Bandsmen
performed under the baton of
Dave Herbert, while the choral
groups were under the direction
of Walter Collins.
THE ALBUM itself features pic­tures
of the performing groups on
the inside, along with a cover
shot of Samford Tower.
The original edition of 1,000
"78" copies has been supplement­ed
by the 45 rpm pressings, but
reports show sales have been
brisk, and the supply is limited.

Spence Led In '51
Dudley Spence, senior Auburn
quarterback from McComb, Miss.,
punted 79 times in 1951 to lead the
SEC. He had four more than
second place winners Jini Roshto
of L.S.U. and Vanderbilt's Dick
Foster, who had 75 each. Only one
of Spence's 79 boots was blocked
as he finished fifth in the SEC
punting department with an aver­age
of 37.1 yards per boot.

Tatum Revives Maryland Sports
By John Raines
Auburn fans will have their first opportunity tomorrow to
see the man who turned football at the University of Mary­land
from just an athletic activity to athletic superiority.
James M. Tatum, "the Man," with only seven years of
head coaching behind him, was tabbed by sportswriters as
the Southern Conference's best
coach, and along with that, they
rate his team best in the nation.
IN SIX YEARS of , coaching
since the war, Jim Tatum has
carried four teams to post season
bowl games. In five years, of
Maryland coaching, he has com­piled
an impressive, if not spec­tacular,
39-9-3. record.
At the present time Tatum has
connected for 13 straight wins.
That's another part of the pres­sure
that will be on him tomor­row
in Birmingham.
A NATIVE of McColl, S. C,
Coach Tatum started his athletic
career at the University ;of North
! Carolina where he was a star
tackle. After graduation in 1935,
he followed his coach, Carl Sna-vely,
as assistant at Cornell. Re­turning
to his alma mater for his
first fling ai. head coaching, in
1942, his team compiled a 5-2-2
slate.
After that season Coach Tatum
joined the Navy for the duration
pi the war. It was there that he
learned the Split-T formation
from Missouri's Don Faurot as
the latter's assistant at Iowa Pre-
Flight. He later moved to Jack­sonville
Naval Air Station as
head coach in 1945.
FOLLOWING his hitch with
the Navy he went to Oklahoma,
where he took the Sooners to the
1947 'Gator Bowl and trounced
North Carolina State, 34-13.
top nationally.
LAST YEAR people laughed
when he predicted Maryland's
greatest season in the history of
the school. This year there are no
chuckles.
Tatum is married and has two
children, Becky a n d Jimmy.
Sometime during the season, they
are expecting another addition to
the family, . JIM TATUM
Bill Tucker, Former Auburn Gridder,
Resumes Classwork After Polio Attack
: By Foots Laney
Bill Tucker, Auburn's former football quarterback whoso
play was terminated by polio in August, 1951, registered for
classes here. Wednesday to continue his work toward a degree
in agriculture.
Tucker, who was counted upon as starting quarterback in
Coach Ralph Jordan's debut year
at the Plains, takes up classwork
where he left off after spending
about a year in Birmingham's
Crippled Children's Clinic.
IN 1949, Tucker had under­studied
the great Travis Tidwcll
during a mediocre football sea­son.
That was Tidwell's senior
year, meaning that Coach Earl
Brown was expecting great things
from the Birmingham lad the
next year.
So Tucker guided the luckless
Tigers of Coach Brown through
the gloomy 1950 season. His pass-

who had seen limited action be­hind
Tidwell.
HIS FRESHMAN year at Au­burn
found Tucker running the
frosh from the T-formation. Au­burn
folk began noticing this
quarterback whose passes were
pinpointed and like bullets and
whose handling of quarterback
duties surpassed many standards.
Another thing they noticed was
that the T-operator was handi­capped
by a maimed left hand on
which a thumb and small finger
we're the only remaining digits,
the others having been lost in a
hunting accident. But despite this
i loss he was still good.
IT IS OBVIOUS that a harsh
polio attack would interrupt this
normal athletic life, so Tucker
started up a long, rocky road
to overcome this handicap to the
greatest extent possible.
As soon as he had recuperated
enough to be up and about in a
wheelchair, and familiarized him­self
with the executive functions
of Birmingham's Crippled Chil­dren's
Clinic, he became assistant
to' Administrator Dick Cavaleri.
RECOVERING to a certain de­gree
from his affliction Bill has
maintained close contact with the
sports world. Last fall Auburn
alumni (still making good a
grant-in-aid scholarship award­ed
him when a freshman) en­abled
him to see all Auburn foot­ball
games by providing an am­bulance.
He spent several winter eve­nings
broadcasting high school
basketball games in the Magic
City. He hopes to make sports
announcing his primary occupa­tion
someday, and may call play-by-
play accounts of Auburn's
hardwood contests next winter.
DESPITE the fact that he never
played under Coach Jordan, Bill
is very close to him, for a daugh­ter

little MoT Top Terrapin
In Jim Tatum's Hefty Line
By Walter Albritton
"He's terrific!" ;»v .j | ft
Two words were all that Maryland head coach Jim Tatum
needed to describe his ace defensive lineman, Dick ."Little
Mo" Modzelewski. And that about sums him up, too.
Foes of the Terps can!t fool themselves. They're loaded
this year. On both offense and
defense. And Little Mo is one of
the biggest reasons.
A SENIOR tackle weighing 235
pounds, Modzelewski has already
been given pre-season rating as
the "Lineman of the Year" by
most sports experts, and he's a
sure bet for All-America.,
Last season, the burly Terra­pin
made the All-America de­fensive
team. And though defense
is his specialty, he's also a good
man on offense. So long as his
other tackles can handle the of­fensive
duties efficiently, Coach
Tatum had rather let Little Mo
stick to defense.
ALMOST;'EVERY COAGH who
has ever had his team run against
Little Mo agrees with Tatum that
Modzelewski is the game's best
tackle; .
Followers of the Terrapins dur­ing
the past few years best re­member
Little Mo for his out-was
infected by the same disease
which slowed Tucker, arid their
problems are somewhat the same.
He has evidenced particular grat­ification
for a diamond-studded
wrist watch presented him re­cently
by the football players.
Before entering Auburn, Bill
attended Phillips High in Bir­mingham
where he earned 12
athletic letters. Though he never
participated in the Magic City's
annual clinic game he considers
it a great salute to football. He is
also the first ex-player from that
standing performance'in the Su­gar
Bowl game this past Janu­ary.
While quarterback Jack
Scarbath walked away with the
attention of most spectators, few
among those who followed the
game closely denied that Little
Mo's play was tops among line­men
that day.
TO THE HONORS tossed Little
Mo's way by the nation's press
.and radio, Tatum added this:
"Without Dick's fine all-around
play, we might not have come
out on top in the game." Mary­land
racked Tennessee, 28-13, as
it was.
Auburn's offense can expect
little less .than misery when they
head toward Little Mo's area
Saturday, that is, if all expecta­tions
prove true.
BUT AUBURN has been known
to run over some mighty rough
boys, and.it's possible for Little
Mo to be added to that list. At
any rate, not even Little Mo will
know the answer to that one until
the horn has sounded on Legion
Field tomorrow.
Undefeated Tiger
In six consecutive track meets
in 1952, Auburn's 139-pound half­back
Jackie Creel was undefeated
in the 220-yard dash. The frosh
track star also copped the South­eastern
Conference championship,
running a 21.2 race. Now a sopho-area
to be a beneficiary of the more, he is playing righlhalf
Clinic game. for Shug Jordan's grid team.
