OVERTHREE HUNDRED ATTEND
INTERFRAT COUNCIL DANCE
Eighty-Seven Girls, Over Two
Hundred Frat Men Attend
Gala Affair
Eighty-seven girls and over two
hundred fraternity men last night
attended the Interfraternity Council
Ball, which was reported to be one
of the most successful dances this
year.
The number, of girls, most of whom
were from out of town, was one of
the largest ever to attend any dance
in Auburn.
The gymnasium, the scene of the
affair, was decorated in orange and
blue streamers. About tjhe walls,
fraternity pennants were placed. The
orchestra was arranged on a plat­form,
to the rear of which was a
large painting of an ancient ship
sailing on a Grecian sea. On the sail
of the ship was painted the symbol
of the council, an Indian seated near
a campfire.
The dance music was furnished by
Bill Nappi's orchestra, from Birm­ingham,
which received much favor­able
comment.
The dancing lasted from nine until
twelve thirty. -
Ten members from each of twenty-two
fraternities represented on the
council were allowed to attend the
dance.
The following young ladies at­tended
the dance: Misses Bertha
Northrop, Sara McCord, Lucy Reid,
Mary Frances Suggs, Mary Alice
Riddle, Lillian Arnett, Emily Young,
Mary Elizabeth Morey, Eleanor

Junior Architects
Make Small Houses
Will Display In Windows of Student
Supply Shop During The
Coming Week
True scale models of community
houses designed and built by junior
students in the School of Architec­ture
and Applied Arts will be exhibit­ed
all this coming week in the win­dows
of the Student Supply Shop.
Professor E. W. Burkhardt announ­ced
today that through the courtesy
of Professor A. L. Thomas, owner of
the shop, the display will begin this
afternoon and last until the end of
the following week.
It is a required part of the pro­gram
in the course in architecture
for a student to design and build
upon the design a model building.
Every year the specifications are dif­ferent.
This year the program called
for a community house that would
embrace all the necessary equipment
for such a building, such as offices,
auditorium, special sections, and
playgrounds.

AnnualAgBanquet
To Be Next Friday
Dance at Gym Will Be Held In
Connection With Banquet
The annual Ag Banquet, spring
event held by the Students Agricul­tural
Club, will be held Friday eve­ning,
April 18, with C. A. Cobb, edi­tor
of The Southern Ruralist, as the
principal speaker of the evening.
Plans are fast being completed to
make this the best banquet ever put
on by this organization; tickets have
been on sale during the past week,
and indications are that a record-breaking
crowd will attend. Prelim­inary
reports are indicative of a gath­ering
approaching the two hundred
taiark.
An additional feature, making this
a dual event, is proving very popular
with the Ag students; a dance will
be staged in connection with the
banquet, in the Alumni Gymnasium
immediately following. This is the
first time in the history of the event
that a dance has been granted the Ag
Club backers, and interest is running
high in this additional attraction.
The decorations committee will ar­range
the gym in attractive keeping
with the spirit of the occasion, giving
it an elusive barnyard effect. Re­ports
are that attendants will be gay-ly
attired in overalls and gingham—
universal symbols of agricultural ac­tivity.
Abie Hardin's orchestra has
been booked to furnish the music for
this event. Authorities report that
no effort will be spared in making
this a real old-time breakdown.
During the meal, distinction in col­lege
agricultural realms will be met­ed
out to various Ag Club students,
in keeping with the time-honored cus­tom.
The big event will be that of
awarding the Gamma Sigma Delta
loving cup to the best all-round
junior. Until the time of the award,
no hint is given as to the recipient;
however, the honor bids fair to be
hotly contested this spring. Ag club
diplomas will be awarded those sen­iors
who have met the requirements
for such. Other honorary features
will be conducted.
Six Are Selected By
Phi Delta Gamma
Honorary Society
Forensic Fraternity Has Second
Election Of Year
Six students prominent, in foren­sic
activities were elected to Phi Delta
Gamma, the national forensic fratern­ity
at the last meeting of the organ­ization
it was learned to-day. The
men are Clyde Kimbrough, A. M.
Pearson, Thomas Pyke, Howard Gray,
H. D. Mosley, and Eugene Gray.
Phi Delta Gamma is the national
forensic fraternity on the campus.
Every year it sponsors the literary
contests held between the literary
societies and encourages work in de­bating,
declamation, and all forms
of forensic activity among the stu­dents.
The Auburn chapter of the
organization was founded here in
1924 and since that time has been
interested in the development of stu­dent
talent along the lines of oration
and literary work.
College Stunt Night Is
Postponed Until Friday
Conflicting Activities Causes
Y.M.C.A. Officials to
Alter Date
The annual College Stunt Night,
scheduled for Friday night was post­poned
because of conflicting activi­ties.
Due to the Interfraternity
Council Dance, the Georgia-Auburn
baseball game, and the Georgia Tech
Relays, in which many of the Au­burn
men are participating, it was
deemed advisable to hold the event
this coming week.
This action will give the ten or­ganizations
who plan to have stunts
in Langdon Hall on Stunt Night to
rehearse a little longer and have bet­ter
skits for presentation.

Lions Club Hears Miss
Duncan On Girls* Work
Explains Work Being Done By
Camp Fire Group
Plans for promoting traveling li­braries
in Alabama counties were
discussed here recently by Director
L. N. Duncan of the Extension Ser­vice,
Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
Miss Julia Wright Merrill of the
American Library Association, and
Miss Fannie Taber, field worker of
the Alabama Library Association.
They hope at some later date to see
a system of library extension work
in Alabama that would make avail­able
to people in rural communities
adequate library facilities, including
books and bulletins on agriculture.
Trucks would be used to transport
the books from central stations.
Miss Wright and Miss Taber also
conferred with Miss Helen Johnston,
state chairman of the committee on
home demonstration work, Miss Mary
Martin, librarian, and Charles Ed­wards,
assistant registrar.
President Knapp Predicts Winning
Football Team Here in Three Years
With Dr. George Wheeler of Mont­gomery
presiding as toastmaster, the
Auburn Alumni dinner was held in
the main dining room of the Ex­change
Hotel in Montgomery Thurs­day,
where Dr. Bradford Knapp
briefly gave an outline of some things
which the institution is striving to
attain. He also praised the spirit of
cooperation which prevails among
the faculty and student body.
Before introducing Dr. Knapp, the
principal speaker of the hour, Dr.
Wheeler called upon Bebulon Judd
for a few remarks relative to the
Auburn Summer School. He also
took occasion to pay a tribute to the
memory of the late Dr. B. B. Ross
for many years dean of the chemis­try
department at Auburn. He cal­led
upon the alumni and friends to
bow for a moment in silent tribute
to the departed chemist for whom one
of the new buildings at Auburn is
named.
The meeting was called to order by
J. V. Brown who announced the se­lection
of Dr. Wheeler as the toast-master
of the evening. Dr. Wheeler
kept the diners in a jovial frame of
mind while the dinner was being ser­ved
and then introduced Dr. Knapp.
Dr. Knapp praised the service of
the faculty and hearty cooperation
which the student body is giving. He
stated that the faculty and student
body are working with him to make
Auburn one of the greatest institu­tions
of learning in the state.
After briefly reviewing some of the
history of Auburn, Dr. Knapp told of
some of the things which he is en­deavoring
to accomplish along all
lines of college activity. He stated
that despite the fact the school is

Miss Elizabeth Duncan, guardian
of the Auburn Camp Fire group,
spoke before the Lion's Club at their
regular weekly luncheon Tuesday.
She explained the nature of the Camp
Fire work, and told of the work she
was doing with the Camp Fire Girls
in Auburn.
Miss Duncan's group was one of
the first four in a national contest
held last year, in which over nine
thousand Camp Fire groups partici­pated.
A large part of the Camp
Fire activities is carried on in the
summer camps, Miss Duncan told the
Lions. She is planning to take a
large number of girls from Auburn
to its annual camp which is to be
held at Fairhope early in June.
Charity work is also stressed in
the Camp Fire work, Miss Duncan
stated. At present the Auburn Camp
Fire group is supporting a family of
five living on the outskirts of Au­burn,
and last year during the flood,
•numerous boxes were sent to the
stricken Alabama towns.
The Lion's Club golf team which
will compete in the Inter-Club tourn­ament
to be held Saturday April 19,
was named as follows: H. W. Nixon,
W. T. Ingram, James Seale, and F.
E. Guyton.

Davis, Duncan Go To
Wash'ton Conferences
Practice of Catching Rides Was
Started by Member of First Team
To "Dutch" Dorsey, fleet halfback
on Auburn's first football team can
be given the credit for originating
the practice of catching rides at Au­burn,
but instead of catching an au­tomobile,
this lad hoboed his way
through the line of scrimmage by
grasping a rope which was sewed in­to
the trousers of Mr. J. V. Brown,
now president of the Auburn Alumni
association.
"It worked too," said Mr. Brown.
You see, "Dutch" was a speed demon
and a natural broken field runner.
No one ever taught him how to side
step, but it was just instinct with
him. We knew that he could gain
ground if we could just get him be­yond
the line of scrimmage. The
rope idea was suggested and one was
tied into my trousers. Both ends of
the big grass rope were frazzled out
and sewed around my left side leav­ing
a little loop which served as a
handle. When the ball was snapped
I would come out of the line from
my position at guard and trot slow­ly
until 'Dutch' could catch his hold,
then there we'd go off tackle or
around end till we reached the sec­ondary
defense, then the little half­back
would leave me often to make
touchdowns."
This is one of the trick plays which
thrilled football fans in the days
when football was in its infancy at
Auburn back in—? The two men
who executed the play are at present
holding responsible positions in life.
Mr. Brown, whose huge and power­ful
body conveyed the little "Dutch"
through opposing lines now heads up
and directs the policies of the Au­burn
Alumni Association. His team
mate and cargo is now a prominent
doctor in Atlanta, Georgia.
P. 0. Davis, head of the depart­ment
of public information, and Dr.
L. N. Duncan, director of the ex­tension
service, will leave tomorrow
morning to attend conferences in
Washington.
Mr. Davis will confer with the
Federal Radio Commission in the in­terest
of WAPI, of which he is man­ager.
He will go to New York and
Philadelphia after this conference.
Dr. Duncan will discuss national
legislation business pertaining to ex­tension
work, agriculture, and home
economics.
Collegians Requested
To Play In Florida
The Auburn Collegians have re­ceived
a request to play for a series
of dances in Panama City, Florida,
on April 25 and 26, dates that Au­burn
and Florida meet in their an­nual
baseball contest. Ion Walker,
former star Florida halfback, is the
amusement park operator who re­quested
Abie Hardin, manager of the
orchestra, to play for him after hear­ing
the orchestra over WAPI. It is
expected that the orchestra will make
the trip, stopping in Dothan, Ala­bama
to play for one night.

A Real Auburn Man
Has Completed His Work
The death of Dr. Ross has cast a pall
of sadness over the campus. Many people
who have known him through personal
contact and through his works mourn the
passing of this great figure in agricul­tural
chemistry.
For almost two score years he has ser­ved
Auburn in the capacity of teacher; he
has studied in other places that he might
be better able to do his tasks here; he has
done wonderful research work for the
South and nation in agricultural chemis­try;
in the community of Auburn he has
always been a leader, socially and relig­iously;
he has done what he considered
right.
Auburn feels his loss—the loss of a man
whose knowledge and ability are known
throughout America; his absence and lead­ership
will be even more appreciated and
...issed since he has left. But even though
he has departed, he lived to see his dream
of a great chemistry department at Au­burn
come true. A mighty structure has
been erected and named in honor of him,
and that is as it should be. His heart and
soul were dedicated to the task of raising
the chemistry school from the ranks of
insignificance to the envious heights it
occupies today, and his crowning achieve­ment
in this great endeavor was the erec­tion
of the new building. He can be truly
called a real Auburn man, for he stuck
by his work until he had completed it.
Students Must Be Ready For
Annual R. O. T. C. Inspection
Since the Auburn R. O. T. C. unit will
be inspected by officers from the head­quarters
of the Fourth Corps Area, be­ginning
April 21, and lasting four days,
it is very necessary that every man in
the unit do his utmost to insure Auburn
keeping the distinguished rating which she
has enjoyed every year for the past decade.
Efforts have been made by the officers,
stationed here to get the students to have
a military bearing at all times, keeping
the uniforms in neat shape, being neat
themselves, and conducting themselves
worthy of the officers some may sometime
be. In this work they have been fairly
successful; however, at times signs of
slouchiness have been very noticeable.
A special attempt to be strictly military
in bearing, in dress, in aptitude, and in
general appearance must be made if Au­burn
is to remain in the coveted position
she now has. The job will not be as great
since the students are wearing the beau­tiful
grey measured uniforms instead of
the poorly-fitting olive drab "leftovers"
from the World War. It has always taken
a supreme endeavor on the part of the
• tudents and almost persuasive measures
i.y the military instructors to get a credit­able
showing on annual inspections, due
chiefly to the condition of the outfits. But
this year with a little work and a little
care a splendid scene of military students
will meet the questioning gaze of the in­spectors.
We want to encourage the students -to
take pride in their work along these lines
during the inspection, and to feel that they
are doing a great deal for Auburn in help­ing
her maintain this high standard which
she has created for herself instead of be­ing
compelled to do as they are told. The
work required is almost negligible as com­pared
with the notable results to be
gained; to again receive the distinguished
l-ating will be merely a continuance of the
fast pace already set; and to receive it
will take less work than usual.
Election Winners
Have Hard Work Ahead
Class elections are over and the offi­cers
and representatives of next year have
been elected. The winners are to be con­gratulated
upon their election because they
have been selected by their fellow stu­dents
as the leaders for the coming year.
As such, it is their duty to take hold in
some measure this year while the old offi­cers
are still here to help them with any
difficulties which may arise. They should
not let their interest in their respective
officers die out with their election. The
success or failure of any student body
lies largely with the ability and leadership
shown by the officers, since these men
are responsible for the organization and
activity of their group. Auburn at pres­ent
is passing through a state of rapid
expansion and growth. Old ideas and
customs are being torn down rapidly and
new ones are being set up in their place.
The student body must keep pace with
this development and one way of accom­plishing
this is through the medium of its
class officers. Consequently, the burden
of the load is upon the shoulders of these
men.
Too often is the election to a class office
looked upon only as a mere honor. It is
indeed an honor, an honor of the highest
kind but it carries with it certain respon­sibilities
which should not be overlooked.
COACH WALLACE WADE
Duke University has every reason to
consider itself fortunate in securing the ser­vices
of Wallace Wade for director of
athletics. In September 1931 will come
the outstanding coach of the South and
one of the most famous in the country to
direct the athletic destinies of the rapidly-expanding
institution in Durham. Coach
Wade, by his early youth, his college
training, his later participation in Southern
athletics as assistant coach and then ath­letic
head at the University of Alabama,
is eminently qualified to head the depart­ment
at Duke. For department it is. No
one who recognizes the vast influence that
athletics has on the student and academic
life of the modern-day College and Uni­versity
would call its part in the curricu­lum
as less than a department.
Wallace Wade is a Tennessee farm boy
who rose to football heights in/Brown Uni­versity,
far away from his native State.
Then he returned to Vanderbilt and Ala­bama
to reap new laurels for the South.
His famous teams at Alabama twice scaled
the heights in the East-West meets in
California. At least six of his outstand­ing
players have received Ail-American
honors. But more than this, Coach Wade
has so conducted himself on and off the
field that he has commanded the utmost
respect of his players. He has been a
leader in a brotherly way. He has in­spired
confidence and pride in character.
Those alumni who. have expected Duke's
team to increase proportionately in
strength and cunning with the endowment
of the lamented J. B. Duke may have some
of the hopes realized when the Wade era
is in full sway. Needless to say that
Wade's coming to Duke will hold aloft
the finest tradition of Old Trinity and the
other fine institutions of this State which
have long been ancient and honorable
rivals. The following brief excerpt from
a comment on the sport pages of The Mont­gomery
Advertiser gives the following in­sight
into that State's regard for him:
"He has displayed his manhood on too
many occasions for even the most biased
to dispute. Wade, to the best of our
knowledge, never leaned toward the star;
he turned deaf ears to fraternities and
would countenance no bickering from the
would-be bosses.
"Alabama will lose a splendid coach and
Duke, the baby member of the Conference,
will profit by the Tide's loss. In leaving
Alabama, Wade will also leave his name
etched in the stones of time. A clean
liver, Wade naturally was a clean teacher.
Victory was sweet over the seven-year
stretch for him, and for 'Bama backers.
"Only another Wade will prevent Ala­bama
men from fully realizing the great­ness
of the man who played a titanic part
in putting the Tide in the football spot­light
of the Nation."—Charlotte Observer.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
The Gecko
I'm the Gecko who did a lot of politick­ing
last week in the dark. Everyone I
saw I promised to help all I could if he
would just support my man. Of course,
it is impossible for me to help more than
one fellow with my vote, but I wanted to
get lots more so I simply said that my
influence would be directed toward any­one
who was willing to cast a vote in my
favor.
Some of the men I promised aid to were
defeated, but I don't care for they should
have known that I did not feel bound to
keep my promise. Of course, it may
cause them to lose all faith in me, but it
doesn't matter, for I won't be here but
one more year. After that I will never
see any of them again, so what's the diff­erence.
Let me thank the
faculty, staff, and
student body for their
very generous and
fine cooperation on
the occasion of the
funeral of Dr. Ross.
I am sure it was a
very spontaneous and
splendid tribute to
the memory of Dr.
Ross. I feel a sense of satisfaction in
knowing that the whole community met
the emergency adequately.
* * * *
We are electing the corps of student
officers for next year. I wonder if you
realize how tremendously important that
staff is. I think the student body is mind­ful
of the responsibility they are taking
but from time to time from now until the
end of the year, I want to remind the new
officers of the great difference there is
between being an individual in a large
group and being the one who has to take
the responsibility, make the decisions, and
carry on the work. I should like to set a
pattern for the new officers. One of the
best patterns I could put before their eyes
is the splendid way the work has gone on
during this year which is rapidly coming
to a close. The publications have been
well handled, and so far as I know, stu­dent
finances and other enterprises have
been well handled. I feel that we are
making progress. At some later time I
want to formally greet these new officers
and pledge them the most earnest sort of
cooperation for the year's work.
* * * *
Is there any connection between the
number of opportunities for enjoyment and
real pleasure in Auburn and the number
of unexcused absences from classes? I
do not mind fine sportsmanlike play but I
do think that when a boy will cut classes
to go to a pool hall or to one of these
miniature golf links, it is a very serious
matter. That is the situation which has
existed for the past two weeks. I have
taken delight in seeing things which would
minister to our pleasure and happiness
here in Auburn come in but if they are
going to spoil our college life, I shall be­gin
to question whether they ought to
come.. The whole problem is one of com­mon
sense. Play the golf links after 3:00
or 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon but not
during the morning hours or any class
hours. There is plenty of time for pleas­ure
if you will put even a fair amount of
time on your college work.
:Jc * * *
I would also say that I am checking up
on fellows who are constantly taking week­end
trips out of town. My impression is
that these students are hurting themselves.
I can't help but believe that the fellow
that gets in here at 4:00 o'clock Monday
morning is unfitted for class work during
Monday. I do not criticise if a man can
make a trip home or elsewhere between
classes and get back at a time which will
not interfere with college duties, but I do
have a strong impression that the persist­ent
out-of-town traveler cannot do full
credit to his work.
Don't forget that your record counts.
Numerous questionnaires come to my desk.
In fact we receive one almost daily about
some student or other person who has been
connected with the institution who is. seek­ing
to get a job somewhere else. They
ask such questions as these: What is his
character? What was his ability? What
was his general record? Is he honest?
Why did he leave your employ? Did he
use intoxicants? Was he dependable?
Would he be a desirable employee? Now
ask yourselves: What about the student
who gambles? What about the student
who cuts classes? What about the student
who is not regular and conscientious in his
attendance upon college duties? What
about the student who is not dependable
because he does not attend college duties?
What about the student who drinks? What
can I say or any member of the faculty
say when a company asks us these ques­tions?
The great thing in college life, just
as in everyday life, is to have a record
that is clean, a character above reproach,
and a reputation of attending promptly
and religiously to the tasks that are set
before you. If you will form the habit of
doing these things in college, you will be
able to do the same things when you get
out of college. It is worth thinking about.
¥ AUBURN FOOTPRINTS «
AT IT AGAIN!
Absent-minded professors are a reality.
The ministry of education of Bucharest
mistook a book named "Secrets of the
Harem" for a Greek grammar and dis­tributed
thousand copies of the books. How­ever,
the alert professors did not stop
there for one of them passed them out to
the students. The mistake was not dis­covered
until the pupils were found read­ing
them during their recess periods in
preference to playing.
Very like the Prof that quizzed his nails
and cut his classes.
The Interfraternity struggle last night showed that there should be another
effort made by the fraternities to get some dancers in them. Seems to us that a
girl had rather walk home than go to an Auburn dance—as far as her dogs are
concerned.

By the way, who was that girl who thought she was on a Paris; stage almost
all the time? She was either innocent or experienced.

We understand that "Smiling Bob" Willingham went through a series of riot­ous

To whom it may concern:
It is rumored that the dashing Mr. Suffich has
joined the ranks of the "Emmisaries of Good-Will" from
A. P. I. to W. C. A. Evidently a lasting impression was
made, for the day he returned a message came via. Western

but—the telegram was sent "collect" and the special "hap­pened"

Since the elections last week, we have been viewing many happy faces among

HIGHER EDUCATION
Now the University of North Carolina
has taken another step towards higher ed­ucation.
This time patent coat hooks have
been installed in the library. These hooks
make it impossible for anyone except the
owner of the coat to remove it. As the
coat is hung up, it is automatically locked
and a small key is pressed in the slot. Now
if some Mercerian will only invent a sim­ilar
device for textbooks we can rate
too. But we don't have any coats.

Furman Hornet:—We can well believe
that the Southland is seriously impover­ished.
Not only have garters passed into
the class of unnecessary luxuries so far
as Furman is concerned, but it has become
quite customary to see a group of what is
known generally as the "best dressed social
stratum of America" parading about with
knickers—probably without buckles which
financial embarrassment kept from being
replaced—hanging perilously near the
southern-most anatomical extremities of
the said personages. We would like to
suggest that the Greenville Community
Chest list these poverty-stricken students
as worthy objects of charity and bestow
upon them sufficient funds for putting
their garments in respectable condition.
(That's very thoughtful).

HELL BROKE LOOSE
Man is by nature a social being and is
endowed with a certain gregarious instinct,
as is evidenced by the various social or­ganizations
and entertainments that are
on our every side, but there are times when
that gregarious instinct assumes the form
of mob spirit and those individuals invol­ved
lose the major portion of their sense
of reason and commit acts that they would
not think of doing if they were in their
normal state of mind. (How's that?).
Two nights ago after the freshmen had
hilariously tossed their green caps into
the fire they had lighted on stadium field,
they conceived the idea that they were in­vincible
and started out to free freshmen
which they assumed were locked in the
various fraternity houses. They congre­gated
in front of several fraternities, de­manding
that the spohomores in" them come
out and give fight. In two or three in­stances,
daring and reckless members of
the group attempted to enter the chapter
house, but fortunately were not supported
by other members of the mob.
Thwarted in their attempt to beat up the
sophomores, they then resorted to the mu­tilation
and destruction of property. Not
satisfied with leaving a wagon and other
articles in the lawn of a certain sorority,
they proceeded to tear one of the pillars
from under the porch roof and inflict
other damage to the porch floor, etc.—

WHICH IS GREATEST HANDICAP?
Students in Purdue University that ob­tained
their prep education in high schools
with more than 200 enrollment and with
a school term of nine months or longer
have a considerably greater chance of
successfully completing their undergrad­uate
work in the University than those
that came from smaller high schools with
less than nine months in the school term,
according to Dr. H. H. Remmers and Mr.
J. M. S^alnaker in their bulletin, "What
kind of High Schools Contribute to Col­lege
Failures," which will be off the press
in a few days.
The report, however, showed that pro­bation
in the University had no definite
corrolation with either the size or the
length of term in the high school attended
by the student before entering the Uni­versity.
Rumor has it that there will be
an election in the Probation Club here at
Auburn, to select leaders in this great or­ganization.

AH, FOOTPRINTS
Editor:—
We understand that it is a common prac­tice
for college publications to exchange
papers with one another. A very com­mendable
practice it is, but why should it
be necessary to be so discriminating? Cer­tainly
the fact that a neighboring college
in Montgomery is strictly a girl's school
should be no reason for graciously declin­ing
to make exchanges with them when a
goodly portion of our own student body
consists of that fairer or weaker sex.
Perhaps our exchange manager does not
consider the esteem of a sister college as
a very valuable asset, but we believe that
if he could have seen the number of Plains­man
readers who littered up the campus
of W. C. A. this past Saturady night that
he would agree that Auburn is very much
interested in their affairs!
Yours,
Merely an inquisitive reader.
Constructive criticism is welcomed by
the Plainsman Staff at all times; destruc­tive
is not. But can the above even be
classified as criticism? We would suggest
that the author wake up and investigate
a few things. Talking about litering up
the campus at W. C. A. we didn't notice
the author denying his helping; or was it
a her?

comment, and is not to be read as an expression

THE REIGN of old King Politics came
to a close this week with the final
elections of the various class offi­cers.
A number have been elated and
experienced a huge reaction in the field
of pride by the results, while others are
wearing faces that depict a disappointed^
empty, lonely and left out feeling. Well,
the awful sinking feeling will soon die
out but the vanity food will terminate
only with the close of the office.
There have been many schemes set up
to do away with the unfairness of the
wrong kind of politics and much has been
accomplished in this respect; still there
are a number of wrinkles that need iron­ing
out. There will always be the element
of politics in such a democratic atmos­phere
as exist at Auburn but the politics
should at all times be as fine as the democ­racy
which makes it possible.

THE SENIORS are back from their
inspection trip with a wonderful in­ertia
for work. A great deal of interest
was seen and an over large quantity of
excellent material was gathered for bull
sessions. The enjoyable week, with its
new experiences, has to be lived over with
those who were so unfortunate as to have
missd it. From all accounts the trip was
a huge success and an interesting and
pleasing deviation from class room routine.

IF SOMEONE doesn't hang some crepe
over that big round lantern hanging in
the sky and do something about all of
this pretty weather, there is going to be
very little studying done. The boys and
girls are beginning to wax sentimental
under the influence of the various beauties
of spring and under the call of old Moth­er
Nature.

DR. KNAPP has been kind enough to
postpone our final dances until after
the senior examinations, a kind move for
which I am deeply grateful. With an ar­ray
of examinations facing me, and with
the outcome depending on whether or not
I carry off the sheepskin, I am afraid I
wouldn't have much spirit of the dance.
On top of that it will be much more con­venient
for those graduating that wish
to have their girls down for both the
dances and graduation.

WELL, WE finally have our new
Coach. May he make possible the
realization of the many football dreams
the students and alumni have had for this
"grand old school." I hope that the stu­dent
body will enter behind our new Coach
with a spirit of optimism and a belief that
he will gloriously guide Auburn's football
out of the swamps of defeat and despair.
An attitude of disbelief will not create
very much spirit and unity of pull. One
man can not make a football team, but
the right man at the right hour with the
right student body can. The hour is cer­tainly
right and we have the right man.
Now it is up to the student body to play
their part of the game.
BRISBANE IMAGINES THE
UNIMAGINABLE
Philosopher Arthur Brisbane for a good
many years has been fond of saying every
now and then, as he did say Sunday:
"What men can imagine, they can do."
Many visualize themselves as wealthy,
but few are wealthy—few ever will be.
Men may imagine themselves care-proof
and beyond anxiety; but they never attain
thef happy state for long, if ever. A man
may imagine himself floating in the air,
but he cannot float in the air. A man may
imagine himself growing a new set of
teeth, but if he needs a new set he will
have to hire a dentist to make it. A man
may imagine himself emperor of the Unit­ed
States, but we shall continue for yet a
little while to have Presidents, no matter
how vividly a man may imagine himself
emperor.
Imagination is a free lance. It is not
bound by the rules of logic and reason.
Whenever reason becomes good enough to
keep pace with fancy then may we say
that "what men imagine they can do."

LIONS ROMP ON TIGERS GIVING
AUBURN SECOND LOSS OF YEAR

Auburn Tigers their second defeat
of the year Tuesday afternoon by the
lopsided score of 13 to 8. The

Jordan Trys Luck As
Pitcher With Tiger'9'
By Elmer G. Salter
.Since no place could be found for
him in-the outfield with Capt. Jim
Crawford, Phil Hodges and Alt. Capt.
Joe Burt grabbing flies in all direc­tions
and hitting within the "select
circle", Ralph Jordan, fourth among
Southern Conference hardwood per­formers
in scoring last season^and
captain-elect of Auburn's 1931 hard­wood
five, has been changed from a
leading contender for an outfield
berth on Auburn's 1930 baseball
team to a pitcher with a bright fut­ure.
Jordan is a southpaw deluxe.as he
does all of his many athletic chores
from the portside. He played with
the yearlings at "first and in the out­er
gardens last year, but decided to
cast his lot this season only with the
candidates'for the pasture positions.
Because he is well fortified with
fly chasers, Coach Sheridan decided to
try Jordan in the box. He lacks
experience but is improving fast un­der
Coach Sheridan, who is a former

Wynne is Great Coach
frank Wallace, of the New York Daily Mirror, Praises
New Coach to Macon Paper
EDITOR'S NOTErTbe follow-ing
article on Chet Wynne, Au­burn's
new football coach, was
written for Thel Telegraph by
Frank Wallace, of the New York
Daily Mirror, who is here with
the Brooklyn baseball club. ' Mr.
Wallace, who is a Notre Dame
man, is very familiar with Wynne
and Knute Rockne's coaching
methods, and he was requested
-by The Telegraph to give some
first hand information on the new
Auburn coach for the benefit of
football fans in this-locality.
In Chet Wynne, Auburn is getting
not only a football coach who fol-lowed
a fine playing career with an
impressive coaching record, but one
of those rare personalities who bub­ble
with the sparkling wine of life.
Chet Wynne is going to be popular
down here if he never wins a foot­ball
game—and that is, why he will
win many; for personality is the mar­gin
of success for any football coach.
Not that Chetter, as we know him
at Notre Dame, is one of those high-powered
prof essionals who overpower
you with dynamic orbs, vigorous
handshakes, facial contortions and
other tricks picked up from a corre­spondence
course on how to be suc­cessful.
' i
Just the opposite; Chet is one of
those people who has it and keeps it
buried. Physically he is handsome;
in- college, with the complexion of a
Kansas farmer boy, he was a collar-ad
type. Regular, features, clear
eyes, a ready smile and a voice and
manner which will fit into your
charming South, as it seems to me,
as a( 20-foot putt sinks into the
soul.
Pleasing Personality.
You're going to like him at once;
then he'lkgrow on you. Superficially
he'll impress yqu as a gentle sort of
a thoroughbred; lateujyou'll discqver
that underneath he loves the rough
stuff; eats it up. In college the girls
became excited about the handsome,
charming athlete, as naturally they
would; but Chet didn't give them
much of a break; not because he
didn't want to; he scurried away like
a frightened colt. Very probably he
has been tamed by now; for the sake
of the Georgia peaches, let's hope
notV
They tell me Auburn needs an or­ganizer.
I'm not familiar with
Wynne's coaching methods; but his
record as a coach seems to follow
his career as a player so closely that
he will probably come through bril­liantly.
Wynne is a chap who improves.
At Notre Dame he played less than a
full game as a varsity man in his
sophomore year; in his junior year
he filled in acceptably, playing be­tween
the immortal George Gipp and
the great Johnny Mohardt.
As a senior Wynne was a sensa­tion—
and he ranks with Elmer Lay-den
and Paul Castner as the great­est
fullbacks Rockne ever devel­oped.
Good on Defense
Wynne was not a punter or pas­ser—
with Gipp and Mohardt around
he wasn't needed in those capacities;
but as a line plunger, as receiver
and a defensive fullback, Chet Wyn­ne
was sweeter back of that line than-either
Layden or Castner.
He is steeped in Rockne/football;
played on what I consider the great­est
team Rockne ever developed and
was a member of a backfield—Gipp,
Mohardt, Brandy and Wynne— which
if it had played three years togeth­er
as did the Four Horsemen, would
have been greater, in my estimation,
than that famous quartet.
Wynne was coached by Rockne
when Rock had all his fire; he has
kept close to the master coach since
then and has picked up all of the
sagacity which Rockne developed
during his later years.
Chet was a high hurdler and
track captain—one of the greatest
hurdlers in the country in his last
two years. If memory is correct he
narrowly missed being elected foot­ball
captain. As a Baptist he was
considered the most popular man at
Notre Dame, an overwhelmingly
Catholic school.
Wynne vs. Mehre
The alumni will like Wynne; and
what is more important, his boys will
like him;~«ind-they'll fight for him—
and the South can look forward to
some hot games when Chet Wynne's
team meets that of Harry Mehre or
of any other Notre Dame coach in the
South.
Auburn got a break when it got
Chet Wynne. It got a man who will
put well-coached teams on the field
,—a he-man and a gentleman who
will represent the university favor­ably
in any capacity it may require
If Auburn gives him material he
will turn out the type of team it has
been wanting.
Newton's Homer is
Feature of Auburn
Victory Over Lions
By W. E. Free
Big Ben Newton broke up the ball
game between the Lions of Mont­gomery
and Tigers last Monday with
a home run in the tenth frame. Au­burn
couldn't quite get started in
their first trio to the plate, scoring
no runs. In the second inning the
Tigers not being satisfied with Mont­gomery
in the lead, a slugging son-test
was started which did not cease
until four runners had made the cir­cuit.
Duripg this inning Big Ben
and Joe Burt started things off with
a single apiece, Harry Lloyd fanned
out; and Slick Kaley drove a double
to left field scoring Newton and
Burt. Kaley scored when Ike Lewis
singled. Ike advanced to second on
a passed ball and was driven in by
Phil Hodges' single.
Stewart, the initial pitcher for the
Lions, held the Tigers in check dur­ing
the' third and fourth innings
when he was releived by McWhirter.
The Tigers could not get on to Mc-
Whirter's deliveries very easily and
secured only three hits while he_was
doing the tossing.
Lefty Prim did a nice job of twirl­ing,
holding the Lions in complete
check after the first canto. Lefty
gave up only three hits in five inn­ings
when he was* relieved by Buck
Carter. Buck did some nice pitching
also, and held the Lions at bay until
two easy ones were muffed by his
team-mates. Captain Jim Crawford
thrilled the fans in the ninth by his
alertness and speed. Roddy pasted
a long one which seemed to be a
sure home run, but Jim was off like
flash and had the coveted ball in a
moment Roddy stopped at third^
In the tenth frame Red Perkins,
star southpaw of the Lion's pitching
sTaff, relieved McWWrter. Perkins
suffered no better treatment by the
Tigers,. as Captain Jim Crawford
beat out a grounder and then Big
Ben Newton stopped the game with
his. terrific smash into right field.

Two of the, leading sophomore
pitchers in the Southern conference
hooked up in a duel on Friday after­noon,
with Spurgeon Chandler, Geor­gia
star, winning a four to two deci­sion
over Ray Prim, Auburn ace, be­cause
his mates played heads up ball
at all times and gave him jam-up
support. It was the first conference
loss for the Tigers in three games
and the second .win for Bill White's
nine in the same number of confer­ence
tilts.
Georgia always tried for one run,
while the Plainsmen generally tried
for several when men were on the
hassocks. Because they were al­ways
out to shove one run across
the plate instead of several, Georgia
scored once in the initial frame on
hits by Day and Rothstein and a
beautiful sacrifice by McGaughey.
Support Weakens
Prim settled down after the open­ing
stanza and held the Bull Dogs
scoreless until the fourth when Joe
Burt let Gorman's single go through
his legs for a home run. Another
run was added to their total in the
fifth when Davenport caught one of
Prim's slants and sent it sailing far
into left field for a triple, scoring
Smith, who had singled, ahead of
him. Only some fast fielding by
Hodges kept Davenport from getting
a homer. .
The final counter for the Red and
Black nine came in the ninth. Cat­fish
Smith be$t out an infield hit,
advancing to third on two fielders'
choice, and scored when Lefty Mur-dock
singled.
Kaley gave the Tigers their first
counter in the third when he found
one of Chandler's offerings to his
liking and sent it over the bank in
right center for .a trip around the
0 J circuit.

(Continued on page 6)
In only two innings did more than
four batters faced Chandler. Five
batters got to hit against him in the
sixth, but the Georgia Sophomore
tightened up after Frock Pate had
doubled and Phil Hodges singled,

via McGaughey to Rothstein, New­ton

struck out Burt.
A rally was started by the Bengals j-xxlngram^ 1
in the ninth when Capt. Crawford
led off with a single, Chandler issued
free transportation to Newton, the
second one he gave during the after­noon.
. Newton was thrown out at

Lloyd whiffed for the second suc­cessive
time, but "Kaley came thru"

the plate. Riley hit to short, and
McGaughey tossed out Kaley at sec­ond
ending what looked like might
be a winning rally.
Pitchers Gain Honors
The honors for the day went to
the pitchers. Chandler whiffed six and
walked two. Prim struck out eight
and walked three, but did not have
the "stuff" that he has shown on
other occasions this season. Duck
Riley continued his brilliant fielding
around the keystone as he handled
11 chances without a symbol of an
error.
Capt. Harry Gorman, Catfish Smith

Prohibition Crusader
May Run For Sheriff
Pampa, Tex.—-(IP)—The panhand­le's
own Carrie Nation, in jail on a
liquor charge, was put forward re­cently
as a candidate for sheriff.
Five hundred residents of Lal^eton
bespoke their approval of the temper­ance
activities of Miss Beulah Allred,
the crusader, by sending two repre­sentatives
to her cell with the request
to run.
Miss Allred, who since being ar­rested
when she paraded the city
streets waving a bottle of liquor, has
set up temporary W. C. U. headquar­ters
in her jail cell, refused to com­ment
on -the request.
Every woman thinks she could
make her favorite actor happy.

in common pleas court against A.
Blair Mitchell, his mechanical drawing
teacher, charging that his teacher per­manently
injured him in a scuffle
which followed an argument between
the two.

Threats of boycott on Charlotte-ville,

campus of the University of Vir­ginia,
following a riot by one
thousand students several days ago.
Marching into the business sec­tion
headed by drum corps, the
students paralyzed traffic for an
hour and a half. As they started
to enter one of the theatres, the
doors of the establishment were
locked. A shower of rocks' ,and
eggs pelted the front of the build­ing,
breaking electric signs.
YALE STUDENTS
INSPECT WORLD'S
LARGEST AIRSHIP
Akron, O.—-(IP)—Details of the
ZRS4, world's largest dirigible air­ship,
under construction for the Unit
ed States Navy at the Goodyear Zep­pelin
Corp. hanger at the Akron Mu­nicipal
Airport, were explained to 80
Yale University engineering students
here recently.
As the students, who came here in
a special train from Pittsburg, in­spected
the 133-foot master ring gird­er
of the new ship, which recently
was raised into an upright position
in the hanger, Commander Zeno Wicks
explained construction details of the
aerial drednaught, comparing it with
the former Naval ship, Shenandoah;
the present Navy ship, Los Angeles,
and the German ship, Graf Zeppelin,
all of which it eclipses in size and ef­ficiency.
Before coming here the Yale party,
on a two weeks' tour, was in new
York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
School Girl Has Too
Vivid Imagination
Denver—(IP)—A school girl's concep­tion
of George Washington in a twen­tieth
century atmosphere so startled
officials of a private school here that
she was placed under suspension for
a week.
With other members of her class
she was told to write what would hap
pen if the father of this country
should visit us today.
"I dressed myself as I thought a
girl of my age would dress in those
demure times," wrote the thirteen-year-
old girl, whose father is a well-known
short story writer.
"I went down to Mount Vernon and
asked Washington to take a walk with
me. We started along the road to
Alexandria.
"He did not seem to notice the mar­velous
inventions that were every­where
in view. An airplane passing
over our head caused only- moderate
curiosity in him.
"A swiftly traveling automobile
elicted little more than a passing re­mark.
"We continued our stroll until we
were nearly half way to Alexandria
Coming down the road was a flapper,
with short skirts and -bobbed hair,
idly puffing a cigarette.
"And that's where I lost George."
And that's why she didn't attend
classes for a week.
MINERVA IS NAME
TO BE SUGGESTED

Expedition Discovers
4000-Yr.-Old Mummy
Philadelphia—(IP)—The Univer­sity
of Pennsylvania Museum expedi­tion
at Meydum, Egypt, has uncover­ed
a mummy, which with its Odecora-tions
of amulets and jewelry lay un­disturbed
for 4,000 years, it has been
announced by museum officials here.
Alan Bowe, field director, informed
the officials, they said, that the mum­my
was of a woman nemed Sat-Her-em-
Hat, who lived about 2,000 B. C.
Around the neck of this woman,"
the report stated, " was hung a semi­circular
pendant formed by several
concentric rows of faience cylinder
beads, alternately green and black. In
addition to this a string of large grad­ed
beads polished amethyst was found
as well as a string of exquisite minia­ture
amulets cut in carnelian, jasper
and lapis lazuli.
"The semi-circular end pieces of the
pendant are of blueish-green faience,
shaped and painted on the inner cor­ner
to represent hawks' heads. A aca-rab
found in the coffin bore the prop­er
name "Her-em-Hat, the elder,' evi­dently
a relative of the deceased.".
Rowe said the expedition was con­tinuing
its search for a burial chamb­er
in the mastabah lying near the
great pyramid of Heneferu, who lived
about 2900 B. C.
Flagstaff, Ariz.—(IP)—Although
the name Minerva is believed to be
the most likely choice of scientists
as a cognomen for the new planet re­cently
discovered by observers at the
Lowell Observatory here, as yet no
name has been selected.
Many names have been suggested,
according to Captain Charles "E.
Freeman, superintendent of the
Naval Observatory at Washington,
which recently succeeded in photo­graphing
the newly discovered celes­tial
body.
He says:
"The Naval Observatory is receiv­ing
numerous suggestions as to
names for the planet, most of them
accompanied by a statement of the
reasons for the choice. One of the
first formal suggestions was the
name Erebus, as indicative of the
darkness of the outer space which
has been withholding the planet from
human ken all these many centuries.
"By far the ""best suggestion has
been the name Minerva. Not only
does the name typify the human wis­dom
that enabled Professor Lowell
to reason out the planet's probable
position long before its discovery,
but the name is associated with
handicraft. And it was with a pho­tographic
plate in the hands of an
observatory assistant that the planet
was discovered.
"Furthermore, the announcement
was made in March which is the
month of the ancient annual feast
of Minerva.
"There is another reason that
springs somewhat from coincidence.
The 'di consentes' of the Romans,
forming a group of their principle
gods, were officially ordained or es­tablished
in 217 B. C. In this dode-cade,
gods and goddesses were linked
in pairs. Paired with Minerva was
Neptune, as together, in a manner,
we find them in our planetary fam­ily.
"Minerva appears to be the only
neighbor deity of the Graceco-Ro-man
mythology not employed as a
name of an important celestial body.

Flag is Hauled Down
By Striking Students
Striking students at the Lincoln
Memorial University, at Harro­gate,
Tennessee, hauled down the
United States Flag that flew over
the campus Thursday.
"The Flag is a symbol of jus­tice
and we don't want it to float
over the campus of a university
where those qualities have ceased
to exist."
This was the declaration of the
chairman of the student body and
of the student strike committee.
The flag was taken down and
carried • to the office of Acting-
President J. H. S. Morrison.
planet, because of its discovery in
the constellation of Castor and Pol­lux,
of whom Leda was the legen­dary
mother, is already assigned to
an anteroid. Atlas is rather tied up
to the earth for no very sound
reason.
"Kronus or Cronus is identical
with Saturn. Pluto is the prototype
of Satan in many minds and drops
out for that reason perhaps."
Under astronomical custom the
privilege of naming the new planet
will rest with the group of scientists
whose patient observations resulted
in its discovery.
The discovery of Neptune in 1846
led to an attempt to violate this cus­tom
by naming it Laverrier, after a
French savant who had predicted its
discovery, but the suggestion was so
unfavoi-ably received outside of
France, its sponsors withdrew it and
suggested instead Neptune.
At the suggestion of Dominique
Jean Arago, of France, Laverrier be­gan
to study the mystery.
Other astronomers were also work­ing
on the puzzle, among them the
Englishman John Couch Adams. On
Oct. 21, 1845, he icommunicated to
the Royal astronomer computations
of the mass and position in the heav­ens
of a planet which would account
for the wanderings of Uranus.
His achievement was ignored at the
time, however.
Meanwhile, Laverrier, working in­dependently
reached similar conclu­sions.
In 1846 he presented before
the French Academy three papers
proving that only an exterior body
could produce the irregularities of
Uranus, and describing its orbit.
This resulted in the acceptance of
the discovery of Neptune.
Annual Week Alabama Fanners
Be Held Here, July 28-August 2
Farm People Will Get Information About Work Done At Ag
School, Experiment Station, and Extension Service
The six days beginning July 28
and ending August 2 have been set
aside as the period for the 1930 far­mer's
week exercises at Auburn. An­nouncement
of this was made by
President Bradford Knapp, with the
statement that the program for the
occasion will be arranged for farm
women as well as for men.
During these six days farm peo­ple
of the State will get first hand
information about the work being
done at their State College of Agri­culture,
their State Experiment Sta­tion,
and also the Extension Service.
Lectures will be given and demon­strations
conducted along practical
lines so that those who attend will
get information of economic import­ance
to them.
Along with lectures and demon­strations

University Of Paris
Falls Heir to Land
Paris, France—(IP)—The Univer­sity
of Paris has fallen heir to the
splendid chateau and grounds in the
town of Richelieu, belonging to the
Duke de Richelieu, descendant of
France's famous cardinal, and well
known in America.
In making the gift the Duke ex­pressed
the wish that the University
use the home for retired professors
•and scientists, and also use the place
to entertain foreign guests of the Uni­versity.
The chateau was built by Cardinal
Richelieu on the site of his birthplace,
and was only partially destroyed dur­ing
the French Revolution.
It is surrounded by a beautiful park
of more than a thousand acres, which
is included in the gift.

conducted on sight-seeing trips thru
the buildings and over the grounds.
In this way they will see the experi­mental
work in progress.
In addition to the usual exercises
the annual convention of the Ala­bama
Farm Bureau Federation will
be held at Auburn, July 31-August 1.
By this arrangement Farm Bureau
delegates and representatives may
spend the first three days of the
week in the farmers' week exercises
which will be climaxed with the
Farm Burau convention.
A special program will be arrang­ed
for farm women, many of whom
are expected to attend. As in for­mer
years, the Alabama Council of
Home Demonstration Women will
hold their annual convention in con­junction
with the State Farm Bu­reau
convention. This organization
of women is composed of active
county organizations in more than
half of the counties of the State.
In addition to the farm people
themselves, the county agents and
home demonstration agents of the
State will be present. They will take
part in the meetings and also hold
separate sessions for the discussion
of problems pertaining to Extension
work.
President Knapp said that the aim
is to make this bigger and better
than any other farmers' week exer­cises
yet held at Auburn. That of
1929 established a new high record
and the aim is to build and improve
from year to year, he said.
Americans Are Too
Fat, Says Physician
Princeton, N. J.—(IP)—There are
200,000,000 pounds of excess fat on
Americans is the belief of Dr. Eugene
Lyman Fiske, medical director of the
Life Extension Institute.
Dr. Fiske says so in an article in
a current issue of the Daily Prince-tonian.
Assuming the population of
the United States to be 120,000,000,
this means that there are 1 and three-quarters
pounds too much for every
American.

Value Of Vitamins B
and G Demonstrated
Chicago —(IP)— Why appetites
leave home was revealed to the Fed­eration
of American Societies for Ex­perimental
Biology, at its annual
meeting at the University of Chi­cago
here.
Vitamin B was revealed as the rea­son
for appetite. It seems that wher­ever
Vitamin B goes, appetite goes
trailing along. It was shown that
when the vitamin fails to appear at
the table, appetite likewise fails to
show up.
Lack of one of the two vitamins,
B or G, was believed responsible for
inducing anorexia, as loss of appetite
is properly known, when the detective
work was begun, Professor George R.
Cowgill, of Yale University, explain­ed
to the biologists who spent a good
week here exploring life.
The discovery was made through
experiments with dogs which first
were fed a diet lacking Vitamin B,
known to have anti-neuritic effect,
and then food minus Vitamin G, val­ued
as an 'anti-pellagra substance.
Denied Vitamin B, the dogs lost all
interest in life and food, paid no at­tention
to prowling cats, fell off in
weight, and developed neurotic sym­ptoms.
All of those symptoms were put to
flight, however, when the vitamin
was furnished them. Cats again be­came
their eternal quarry as the ap­petite
stimulating vitamin was placed
in their food, which no longer went
untouched.
Vitamin G was eliminated as a
causative factor when it failed either
to drive away appetite or bring it
back.
Vitamin B travels in the company
of unrefined grains such as whole
wheat, unpolished rice and other crude
cereals. When these grains are dress­ed
up and husked of their rough ex­teriors,
B refuses further association
with them. Both B and G vitamins
are found in fresh fruits and vege­tables.
A popular belief went by the boards
when Dr. James E. Lebensohn of
Northwestern University showed that
"train sickness" is not caused by shift­ing
scenery, but by disturbance of the
labyrinth of the passengers ears due
to the jolting of the cars.
In laboratory tests he found a mov­ing
panorama failed to induce the sen­sation
of nausea attending the sick­ness,
which, however, was brought
PRESIDENT KNAPP PREDICTS
WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM
AT AUBURN IN THREE YEARS
(Continued from page 1)
operating on the same budget of a
few years ago the faculty has been
largely increased and many more stu­dents
are receiving instruction there
now than were enrolled a few years
ago. The spirit of cooperation is not
confined to the faculty and student
body but is also exemplified by the
people of the town, the speaker stat­ed.
Speaking of the athletic situation
Dr. Knapp stated that he felt that the
selection of Chet Wynne as football
coach, has apparently solved one of
the greatest problems so far as the
football troubles are concerned. He
assured the alumni that the new
coach has already been given a warm
reception by the prospective pig skin
toters and the assistant coaches.
"Don't expect a winning team this
year," Dr. Knapp warned, "but give
Chet two or three years and he will
turn out a winning team at Auburn.
We must not let him fail," he con­cluded
in a strong appeal for the co­operation
of the alumni.
After concluding his remarks as to
the athletic situation, Dr. Knapp
pointed out some of the things need­ed
at Auburn. Among them are in­cluded
a sewerage system; new ho­tel;
new school building in the town
and the completion of the buildings
now under way. The Ross building
was praised for its equipment and
will be dedicated along with other
buildings during the commencement
exercises this year.
Skull of Mastodon ,'
Found in California
Berkeley, Calif.—(IP)—The uni­versity

mastodons roved California during
the Pliocene age, a million years be­fore

The proof is the skull of a masto­don
in a rare state of preservation,
which has been given to the Univer­sity
by engineers who found the pre­historic
relic while drilling for oil at
Kettleman Hills, near Coalinga.
According to Professor W. D. Mat-hew,

of the university, the skull
was of a neo-mastodon.

major league pitching star. Unlike
a good many southpaws, Jordan has
control which will aid him in being
a mound sensation.
Jordan is also being tried out at
the initial sack as the Tiger mentor
wants outstanding reserves for
every position.
The first chance that Jordan will
have to display his ability as a pitcher
will be in the lone game with the
Enterprise All-Stars, who will be
played April 23, when the Orange
and Blue nine makes their annual
jaunt to Panama City, Fla., for the
trio of games with the University of
Florida, April 24, 25 and 26.

STUDES MOVE TO
RENEW ATHLETICS
Swarthmore, Pa.—(IP)—A cam­paign
for the purpose of moving un­dergraduate
and alumni of Swarth­more
and Haverford colleges to take
definite action toward the resumption
of athletic relationship between the
two schools is being carried on by the
respective undergraduate newspapers
of the colleges, the Swarthmore Phoe­nix
and the Haverford News.
• Student polls are being taken at
both colleges and blanks are being
sent to alumni in order to obtain an
expression of sentiment.
The movement is directed toward
the scheduling of a contest in 1931
during the football- season, after a
six-year intermission. Swarthmore
won the last game 70 to 13 after trail­ing
by 13 to 0 at the end of the first

At Library Opening
Jerusalem—(IP)—One of the lar­gest
collections of Haggadoth, which
relate the history of the Jews from
Egypt, will be shown by the Hebrew
University here in connection with
the dedication of the new library build­ing
on Mount Scopus, April 14.
Nearly 900 additions of Haggadoth,
from the invention of the printing
press to the present time, will be on
view during April, the month marking
the fifth anniversary of the opening
of the university here.
The oldest copy of the collection
is the Haggadoth of Mantova print­ed
in 1560 on wooden blocks with il­lustrations
in the classical style of
the Italian Rennaissance. Another is
the Haggadoth of Venice, printed in
1601, and containing illustrations
showing the customs of the Jews in
Italy.
Among the other rare manuscrupts
and autographs in the Schwadron
collection in the library is the origin­al
article on "Theory of Relativity,"
donated by Prof. Albert Einstein.
JUNIOR ARCHITECTS
MAKE SMALL HOUSES
(Continued from page 1)
The houses are of Colonial type
and made of red brick with white
stone for decorative purposes. The
bricks, are designated as much by the
application of different colors on the
cardboard walls of the buildings. The
grounds and surroundings of the
community buildings are treated in
different ways. Hedges, trees, flag­stone
walks, pools, and benches and
park equipment are placed about the
building to complete the scheme.
There are six models in the exhi­bition
and consist of the work of
twelve students, who are: V. O. Cal-laham
and W. C. Breithaupt; H. W.
Deering and E. C. Smith; E. H. Gray
and L. A. Wingo; W. J. Bartoldus
and E. R. Enslen; H. W. Ellis and J.
R. Rutland; and E. L. Bothwell and
T. H. Glanton.
Track Meet Will
Be Held At Night
The nationally famous West Coast
Relays, to be held in the Fresno
State College Stadium, California,
on April 26 in connection with the
Raisin Day celebration, is to be a
night event this year. This will per­mit
the automobile races to be held
that afternoon, and will make the
track meet the first major one ever
held at night.
A battery of floodlights that will
give an intensity of five foot-candles
over the entire area is being instal­led
at the stadium and in the fall the
projectors will be adjusted so that
an intensity of eight foot-candles
will be projected on the football field
alone for night games in that major
sport.
The lighting installation includes
sixty General Electric projectors
with 1000-watt incandescent lamps,
mounted in batteries of ten atop six
90-foot steel towers. Power is sup­plied
by an underground cable sys­tem.
Each lamp will be individually
fused and provided with a disconnect
device at the top of the tower. A
master switch with fuses will be pro­vided
to control the whole system.
