Band, Director Praised
For Fine Performances
At Qames, Pep Rallies
By War Eagle
One of the most pleasant
parts of any Auburn football
* afternoon, either on the Plains
or almost anywhere else where
my boys travel,, is the per­formance
of D a v e 'Herbert's
Greater Auburn Band.
, The bandsmen sure looked sharp
Saturday. Their half time show was
well planned and well executed,
and their music, which, after all,
is their main duty, was top notch.
And by the way, those orange and
blue uniforms make them" out­standing
and able ambassadors for
API whereever they go.
It seems to me that Auburn's
band does a pretty big job for
mighty little reward. I understand
they receive one quarter-hour class
credit for their work, but that's
not much when you remember that
they rehearse, five days per week,
and then perform for a pep rally,
a game, and a pre-game parade, if
i scheduled.
That all adds up to a. lot of
hours spent, arid all those appear­ances
can do a pretty thorough
job of wrecking a weekend. No
football dates/for bandsmen, and
a lot of time consumed before and
after each, game can put a crimp
in the social lives of participating
students: ; • ''••'•
Not the least of the band's strong
points is the pleasant, cooperative
' attitude of director Dave Herbert.
I notice that he always coordinates
the band's activities pretty closely
with the cheerleaders, and has
' plenty of first-rate music for those
lulls during the game. After watch­ing
Dave work with the band for
several years now,, I've come to
?the conclusion that he's a rare
combination of musician and show­man,
and a real credit to Auburn's
musical program.
Every one of Auburn's 6,000 stu­dents
should be really proud of
the band, and genuinely grateful
to its members. The band has al­ways
been a major contributor to
the fabulous Auburn Spirit, and as
far as standards of performance
are concerned, they can hold their
own with any college group in the
South, whether for marching,
.football, or concert work.
ODK-Glom Beauties, LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS'
Compete October 23

Five Homecoming Finalists Selected;
Board Qualifies 47 For Fall Elections
Seminary President
To Address Baptists
DrV Roland Q. Leavell, president
of the New Orleans Baptist Theo­logical
Seminary, will be the main
speaker at the Saturday morning
and Sunday morning sessions of the
state Baptist Student Convention to
be held in Auburn, October 31-
Nbvember 2, at the First Baptist
Church.
"KATCHIE" got caught by photographer Les King, just as
she was doing a little "football scouting" in Graves Center earlier
this week. Officially, she's Katherine Barron, freshman in educa­tion
from Jackson.
So, every Saturday at game
time (and at the pep rallies too)
I squint down in admiration at
110 true Auburnites, who combine
a feeling for their school with a
love for music, and come up with
fone of API's most valuable and
outstanding groups.
Doctor; .Leavell is a native of
Oxford, Miss., *and is a ^member of-a
prominent Southern Baptist fam­ily
of nine brothers, all of whom
have been active in Baptist life in
the South.
He attended college at the Uni­versity
of Mississippi and Southern
Baptist Seminary, and holds hon­orary
degrees from several col­leges
and universities. He has been
especially active in the field of
evangelism, having written several
textbooks and study course books
in that field.'
He has been pastor of several
churches and is constantly in de­mand
as a preacher for revivals.
Recently he returned from an ex­tensive
preaching mission tour of
the Orient, holding revivals in
Japan and Formosa, and on other
Pacific Islands enroute.

Extra Cops To Patrol
Highways This Weekend
Republican leaders are also slated
to take part in the program, ac­cording
to Guy Smith, Auburn
representative for the Young Re­publicans.
In Noojin, the Republicans are
.bringing to the campus an excel­lent
spokesman for their ticket and
an accomplished orator. The Au­burn
Citizens for Eisenhower
Chapter is an organization which
welcomes all students who are in­terested
in the election of General
Eisenhower and Senator Nixon.
Bill Mattison, chairman of the
local Citizens for Eisenhower
Chapter, stated, "The public is
invited to attend the Tuesday night
rally,, and persons desiring to sup­port
Eisenhower directly should
contact Guy Smith at the ATO
house."
Plans are underway for a debate

Band To Perform
At Tech, Benning
Two football half-time shows
are on the agenda for the
Greater Auburn Band this
weekend. The 110 piece group
will perform at intermission
of the Auburn-Tech contest Sat­urday,
and then move to Colum­bus,
Ga., for a Sunday afternoon
show at Fort Benning's Doughboy
Stadium.
The Atlanta show will find the
band performing an intricate
marching routine, after warming
up with the traditional "Glory,
Glory to Old Auburn." Music for
the precision marching drills will
be a special arrangement of "Sound
Off," which includes bits of mel­ody
from "Dixie," "Yankee Dood­le,"
and "Goofus."
Other formations will include
"Tiger," accompanied by "Auburn
Victory March," "Dixie" to the
strains of "Are You From Dixie,"
and a moving man; accompanied
by "Dry Bones."
THE APPEARANCE at Fort)
Benning is a repeat performance
for the Tiger bandsmen, who play­ed
a- similar engagement there last
year. .,'
Highlight of the show will be
the formation of a man, similar to
one invthe Tech show. The Sunday
performance will add a military
touch, however, by putting the
composite man through the man­ual
of arms. The musical program
will feature a rendition of "What
Do You Do In the Infantry?"
Plans call for the band to depart
from Atlanta immediately after
the Tech game. The members will
spend the night at the fort before

the song has probably publicized
Tech as much as her football

When and where the lyric first
appeared isn't known for sure. An
alumnus of the class of 1892 insists
that it was sung in his time, though
the words and music weren't
printed until years later by Frank
Roman, then director of the school
band. It is fair to say that what
Roman published was only an ar­rangement

I'm a rambling wreck from Geor­gia

A helluva, helluva, helluva, hell­uva

Like all of the jolly good fellows,
I'll drink my whiskey clear.

First Verse
Oh! If I had a daughter, sir,
I'd dress her in White and Gold
And put her on vthe campus
To cheer the Brave and Bold;
But if I had a son, sir,
I'll tell you what he'd do,
He would yell "To hell with
Georgia," like his daddy used to
do.

Campus Quiet After Rush Activities;
Atlanta To Provide New Party Life
By Bettie Jones
Well, now that the dust has settled from fraternity and sorority
rush madness, we've had time to draw a deep breath and round up
some straight partying news. The big item on the agenda for this
weekend_is, of course, celebrating our overwhelming victory (we hope)
over the Yellow Jackets, so let's take off from there.
Pikes Play It Single
The boys from the Ivyless Covered Lodge of PiKA are planning
quite a shindig for.tomorrow night out at Robertson's Garden in Atlanta
following the game. Different hotels in town will be invaded for the
"anti-social" smaller individual parties—visitors welcome, but every­one
to his own refreshments.
The Delta Tau Delta's will party in a downtown Atlanta club
tonight to warm up for the joint soiree with the Georgia. Tech Delt
chapter tomorrow night out at the fraternity house bn Tech's campus.
Another group combining forces with their brothers from Tech for
a party tomorow night will be the Cigarette Kings of Sigma Chi.
These "two is better than one" parties really must have some­thing—
The Kappa Sigs will journey out to the Tech campus too for a
joyful time with their brothers Saturday night. The Phi Kappa Tau's
are taking no chances about lacking strength in numbers and will
hook up not only with the Tech Phi Tau chapter, but will have the
Georgia bretheren over to help celebrate. Many people, gay time.
KA Army On The March
Dick Wade, Auburn KA alumnus, doesn't know it yet, but the
gentlemen from the Kappa Alpha mansion are making concrete plans
for a strategic drive on his Atlanta apartment for their whoop-de-doing.
Better quit saving that Confederate money, Dick, and use some
of it to buy a plane ticket to flee the invading forces.
The SAE's have been extended the cordial hospitality of Tom
Privett's home in "Hotlanta" for their joint party with the Tech broth­ers.
Boy, that's what we call really making an alum'feel a part of
the active chapter.
Snakes Play It Safe, Deny Rumors
The Snakes down in Ag Hollow are playing coy about their wild
caper plans and cagily say anyone who can find them is welcomed to
join them for a damp good time. As for organized parties, the Sigma
Nu's completely deny reports that binocular parties are the latest rage
down their way, and go so far as to say reliable reports from house­mothers
assure them that the fair coeds are worse about the spy­glass
habit than they. Teh, tch, gentlemen, don't let them win the out­standing
reconnaissance medal.
Swaps for this past week were a dessert party and house dance
for the KD's with the PiKA's—a skit and lots of music provided much
fun in the way of entertainment—and a house dance given by the Phi's
in honor of the ADPi's.
The Phi's will take over a special room in the Henry Grady Hotel
for their Saturday night doings, which promises to have downtown
Atlanta shaking its head in confusion.
We like to see the folks have a good, time—happy landings.
three .thousand
Every time a group of students from Georgia Tech get Oh! I wish I had a barrel of rum,
together there will more than likely be a rendition of their
favorite school song, "Ramblin' Wreck." This battle hymn
never fails to stir their hearts, and is probably the best known
and most beloyed tradition of the Alma Mater. Spread to all
corners of the wojrld by alumni,
And s u g ar
pounds.
A college bell to put it in,
And a clapper to stir it 'round.
I'd drink to all good fellows
Who came from far and near.
I'm a rambling, gambling,
Hell of an engineer.
IT IS SAID that the tune is bas­ically
that of an old drinking song,
credited by different sources to
the English, French, and Germans.
Some say that the title to the tune
was originally, "The Song of a
Gambolier." The modern arrange­ment
copyrighted by Roman indi­cates
an origin at or near the be­ginning
of the twentieth century.
It is interesting to hear accounts
of the song's beginning from other
colleges who claim to have used it
before Georgia Tech. Oddly
enough, one report even intimi-mates
that it was stolen from Au­burn!
A tribute to its popularity
is a comment by Wallace Butts,
football coach of the University of
Georgia, who allegedly said he
would give half a year's sajary if
the University had a battle hymn
like that of its arch-rival.
WHATEVER ITS source, the
ballad has become the pride, in-spirer,
and trademark of all ramb'
lin' recks. Freshmen v are requir­ed
to learn it immediately after
registering, and when they sing it
they stand and twirl their rat caps
above their heads. It is recognized
by many, respected by opponents,
and loved by Techmen.

Make The Most Of Tomorrow
BY RUSS LEVERETTE
Editor, The Technique, Georgia Tech
tittle Man On Campus by Bibler
War Eagles soaring over Grant Jield
tomorrow afternoon will see swarms of
Yellow Jackets threatening their approach.
Plainsmen will approach the scene with
weeks of careful planning and numerous
tactical5 maneuvers foremost in their
thoughts. Ramblin' Wrecks will vicibusly
resist the assault and attempt to emerge
victorious in an encounter certain to be
taxing and remembered.
To interested onlodkers this may pre­sent
a cloud of hostility capable of envelop­ing
the entire city of Atlanta and so dense
that rationality and common sense cannot
penetrate it; to some classmates the situa­tion
may seem ripe for mob action and an
outlet for acts of vandalism. It is the
duty of all right-thinking Auburn and
Tech students to change these persons' per­spectives.
Students who recognize rivalry artd
high spirits as friends and a means of re­creation
should disallow others to misuse
them. This feduces to a matter of per­sonal
responsibility. Every Auburn
student and every Tech student should
wear his best school spirit to the game
and dismiss notions of post-game re­venge.
Riots make no use of the attributes we
have come to college to acquire. How
pathetic it is to see years of training proven
fruitless when college students run wild!
Let's amaze the onlookers with such-competition
on the gridiron and cordiality
in the stands and on the streets that they
will speak with praise of our alma maters.
We stand to benefit from this.
Enlightened War Eagles and Yellow
Jackets at Grant field tomorrow will be
able to discern a golden cloud of oppor­tunity—
a chartce to give school spirit a
blessing of good reputation. May the
Turkey Buzzards suffer horrible mis­fortune
on the gridiron tomorrow, but let
the hands of friendship be extended on
both sides!
Let's Win (Or Lose) Like True Sportsmen
By mutual agreement, The Technique,
of Georgia Tech; and The Plainsman are
exchanging editorials and feature stories
in editions this week. In doing so,, it is
our joint purpose to promote friendly re­lations
between Tech and- Auburn stu­dents:
We present the above editorial by Tech­nique
editor Russ Leverette as good read­ing
material for students of both schools.
Also, an interesting feature story on Tech's
popular school song "Ramblin' Wreck" is
printed on page 3 of today's Plainsman.
Several hundred copies of The Plainsman
and Tuesday's edition of The Technique
have been distributed on the two cam-pusesj
so that all students may see copies
of both papers; ' .
Last week we reminded students to/CO-operate
at the game in Atlanta Saturday
in an effort to maintain friendly relations
between the two schools. Now, with game
time only hours away, we reiterate that
reminder. No one wants the Plainsmen
to win any more than we do, but we had
rather they lose than have both schools
receive1 the bad publicity of rowdy student
conduct.
Let's go to Tech determined to win, and
with the "War Eagles" ready to roll. But.
by all means, let's win (or lose) like true
sportsmen.
Needed: Enforcement Of Local Speed Limits
• \
Some unsuspecting Auburn student is
going to wake up deadyaround here one of
these bright fall mornings.
He's going, to straggle off to class about
half asleep* casually glance up and down
one of Auburn's speedways, step confident­ly
onto it, and: then get his block knocked
off before he's halfway across. And the
unfortunate part about it is that 10 to 1
it won't be his fault.
Actually, when he gives the speedway
the once over, he probably won't see any
late-to-class racers* but by the time he's
touched' the pavement twice—blam! He's
had it!
Under normal conditions, he could ex­pect
to walk across before an average car
arrived, provided he had not seen one be­fore
starting. But not so at Auburn. A gUy
is risking his neck and all connecting parts
when he strikes out across an Auburn
street, even if he does peer Carefully in
both likely directions for careless four-wheeled
monsters;
We always fear for innocent freshmen
who have to learn the hard way that these
asphalt lanes in Auburn are not just ordi­nary
streets, but regular speedways. It's
a wonder to us that several freshmen aren't
boxed up and sent home every quarter, but
we suppose" luck has prevented that thus
far.
Auburn's alert campus police force
seems to be hot to go on dishing out tickets
to cars not parked according to specifica­tions.
We've Seen several tickets embrac­ing
windshield wipers lately.
We've even' noticed several <new
speed limit signs (15* and 25 iriph) on the
sides of many of the streets. But so far as
we have been able to tell, the signs serve
little value. The local speed demons either
haven't noticed them, or else they're laugh"
ing at them.
What makes it worse, the speed­sters
aren't being compelled to abide by
the rules. Laws aren't any good if they
aren't enforced, and apparently Auburn's
campus and city police are making no
real attempt to control the speed on local
streets: We believe it's their duty to not
, only set up' regulations-, but to see that
offenders are punished.
If a couple of coeds were to be run over
and; killed by some flying tin can, within
a few days the campus would probably be
crawling, with men waving "Slow Down"
signs. But to us, that's waiting a little too
late. s
Now is the time for Auburn's speed
regulations to be enforced. And unless cor­rective
steps are taken in the very near
future, we fear that Auburn is' going to be
the scene of a tragic traffic accident.
Probably the most dangerous of the
local speedways are West Magnolia and
Thach Avenues, running parallel on the
north and south sides of the central part
of the campus. On these two streets, it
is becoming extremely dangerous for
students to cross. This is particularly
distressing when nearly all of Auburn's
coed populace must of necessity cross
Thach Avenue many titties each day.
The Plainsman strongly feels that in
order to better safeguard the Jives of Au­burn's
6;000 students, immediate enforce­ment
of campus and municipal speed limits
is necessary.

Dear Sir:
In order to better acquaint the
students, faculty members arid
townspeople of Auburn with the
facts and the issues of the coming
presidential election, the Auburn
Chapter of the Alabama State
League of Young Democrats chal­lenges
the Auburn Chapter of the
Citizens for Eisenhower to an
open debate.
The time and place of this debate
shall be set at a later date upon
the mutual -agreement of both
organizations, speakers being pro­vided
by the state executive com­mittees
of the respective political
parties concerned.

Lester Ford, President
Auburn Chapter
Alabama State League of
Young Democrats.
Dear Sir:
This is a complaint dealing with
the blunder which was made in
the selection of the five Miss
Homecoming finalists. If is not
that I disagree with the judges, I
think each of the finalists has the
beauty, charm, and personality it
takes to hold this position.

ing such stumps as the Universities
of Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Texas. . s
Here's a thumbnail sketch of his
strength. Lou Schwartz, editor of
the Syracuse Daily Orange, whip­ped
his block into shape early in
May, while under the manager­ship
of Jack Parker, Indiana U.
joined the ranks soon after. The
University of Houston came forth
with- a draft-Pogo petition bearing
300 signatures. Seventy-five more
delegates were mustered at the
Yale Record banquet and a six
page cartoon section in the U. of
California's Pelioan brought un­told
numbers into the fold.
Then U.C.L.A.'s Daily Bruin
bombarded New York headquart­ers
for buttons and campaign lit­erature,
while the Daily Texan
began to run Pogo on its editor­ial
page. The men of Cornell gave
Pogo a landslide write-in vote at
their mock political convention,
showing their approval in the
IJemocratic way.
But the school that really took
Pogo in was Harvard. It began
the mornihg that the managing
editor of the CiMmson announced
his paper's suport of Pogo and an
immense supply of "I Go Pogo"
buttons. An hour and a half later,
the three thousand buttons were
all gone and several thousand
students stormed the Crimson's
Pogo rally in the square with big
posters and a parade which landed
on the front pages across the
nation.
Pogo's platform is simple—he's
for people and, as far as he can
see, the best people are "human
beans." His philosophy in a nut­shell
is: "Don't take life to sertpus,
it ain't nohow permanent."

Coeds Complaining;
Majorettes Thriving
By JoAnne Lucci
Many complaints have been
heard lately about the fence
that has been erected blocking
off the five new girls dbrm-itories
from; the Quadrangle.
The coeds living in the new
dorms, especially in' Seven
and Eight, are quite grumpy
about the detour they are forced
to take as tfiey wearily return
from classes loaded with books.
True, some nice steps have been
built at the side entrance to Dorm
Five, and1 there is andther openihg
at Dorm Nine. Residents of the
middle two dorms however, are
not Happy about1 being re-routed
the lbng way home.
Since the fence must serve some
useful, but unknown to us, pur­pose,
we do not take issue with its
being there. We do, however, con­tend
that the entrances and steps
are too few and far between.
There is no' bouquet of Tiger
Lilies for those responsible for
what appears to be lack of plan­ning
or thoughtfulness on their
part in the fence construction.

Fall Elections To Test
Plan For School Officers
Coeds Get Equality,
But Lose Courtesies
By Charles Sullivan
Many of the traditions and
customs regarding women are
fading into the distance like
one of D. Spence's punts.
Even the ladies don't know
what to expect anymore. They
have gone so far along the
road to economic and political
equality with men that they are
losing many of the little attentions
and courtesies which men once
lavished upon them.
How else could it be in a nation
where once half of the wealth is
controlled a nd
spent by wom­en,
and where
p r a c t i c a l l y
every occupa­tion
and profes­sion
has its
share of women
holding h i gh
positions?
The women,
and we w i ll
promote Auburn
c o e d s to this
classification, have gradually be­come
independent. They exert in­fluence
in every field of endeavor
and compete with men in nearly
all lines of work. Some of the
ladies even think that they are
smarter than men and have the
nerve to prove it.
Then girls wonder why men
aren't as polite and considerate to
them as the boys of' their grand­mother's
day were to her. Joe Col­lege
doesn't call his Jane for a date
a week in advance, he doesn't de­light
her with lovely gifts, and he
does not treat her like a dainty
flower. And why should he when
Jane has just beaten him in golf
or tennis, has a higher grade aver­age
than he does, and argues poli­tics
like Gabriel Heatter.
We do not particularly care
whether women go to the business
office or to the home, just so they
don't go away. However, the next
time one of you ladies wonders
why. a so-called gentleman doesn't
offer you his seat on a bus, or
some Southern gallant does not
open a class room door for you,
just console yourself with the fact
that he considers you to be his
equal. After all, isn't that what
women have been striving for'
these many years?
One of the mildly hilarious fea­tures
of the battle between the
sexes, known as dating, is the
question of who will open the car
door for the lady. Just to illustrate
that the rules of the game are
constantly changing, many girls
prefer to open the right-hand door
and let themselves out of the car.
Others will sit in the car and
wait demurely for their gallant
knights to trot around the vehicle
and open the door. There should
be a course in door opening for
coeds who are all thumbs and can't
master the intricacies of handle
and push-button mechanisms.
If the coeds figure they are
smart enough to drive a car and
tell men how to drive, then they
should be intelligent enough to
open car doors. Surely women
possess the right to open car doors
because they have practically all
the rights and privileges that laws.
can give them.
According to medical authorities,
it takes over three million sleeping
pills to put Americans to sleep
every night. Do you doubt that
many of these slumber spheres are
swallowed by women who are
worried' about the lack of polite­ness
and consideration on the part
of their escorts or husbands?
Yes, ladies, you Have gained
power, wealth, and much lawful
equality, but you Have certainly
lost considerable feminity and
privileges enjoyed by your grand­mothers.
article entitled "Majorette Mad­ness"
was very informative on the
subject of baton twirlers.
Before World War II, it stated,
there were many more boys than:
girls in the business. Now, how­ever,
the girls outnumber them,
20 to 1.
About' 200,000 people are now
engaged in twirling; the manufac­ture
of batons alone, not to men­tion
scanty-skirted costumes, is a
multi-million dollar business, ac­cording
to the story.
Some band leaders, it seems,

It's election time all over the place, and even though the
national fracas is shaping up into an interesting battle, matters
more pressing are about to be brought to the attention of
Auburn students.
The fall elections, coming up Thursday, Oct. 30, will be the
first t e s t of a constitutional
amendment passed last spring.
The new system will give API a
president and vice-president in
each undergraduate school in place
of the conventional system of class
officers.

As the test for the new system

arguments in favor of school

prove valid. Last spring's amend­ment

program, was
Just about the only unattractive
feature of campus election time at
API is the perpetual domination
of the political scene by a compa­ratively
small but very well-or­ganized
group.
Known officially as "The All-
Campus Party," and more popu­larly
as "the line-up," this group
controls political activities to such
an extent that their stamp of ap­proval
is virtually tantamount to
election.
In all fairness to the All-Cam­pus
combine, we'll have to say,
that their record is?clean. For
many years they have provided
Auburn with able student leaders,
and as far as we know, their elec­tioneering
methods have never in­volved
anything but shrewd cam­paigning
and tight organization.
The thing that bothers us is not
the widespread activity of the
party, but the continued apathy
of the rest of us. This lack of in­terest
permits domination by a
definite ' minority and does -not
speak well for the political atti­tude
of the majority.

the line-up slate. We hope that
the opposition will be active and
able. We also hope that independ­ent
students and those affiliated
with groups outside the machine
will make themselves heard loud­ly
and' definitely through their
use of the ballot.
Maybe it's too much to expect
in a one-party state, but we feel

No-Doze For Lengthy Time Given
As Sure Cure For Habitual Snorers
By Herbert White '
Do you suffer from one of mankind's oldest, commonest and
most baffling afflictions—snoring? If you dp, read on, for
the next few paragraphs will give you the absolute cure.
This problem of snoring has caused divorces, nervous break­downs,
lawsuits and even in one case it caused a terrible
thing—a man's mother-in-law left his home-because he snored
too loudly. So you can see why snoring: is a bad thing.^
It has been proven that some womeri snorers, as registered
on a sound level meter, snored as high as 69 decibles, which
is only 25 per cent less noise than thej roar of a lion.
By this time, if you have decided to read on, you should
really wonder what the absolute cure is. Well, read on, sucker.
Do you wonder what causes snoring in the first place—
you do?—o.k. Anything that narrows or obstructs the air pass­ages
will produce a snore. At the rear of the mouth is a soft
palate, which tapers off into a tail-like uvula. When these
soft tissues are pushed against the equally soft membranes of
the throat,, vibrations are set up by the air entering and: leaving
the air passages. Remember this—when the cause is patho­logical,
removal of the source will bring noiseless slumber.
In a recent article in This Week's Magazine it was pointed
out that a woman solved her husband's snoring problem by
making, him sleep on the porch. "He makes a good burglar
alarm," she explained. "Until I put Walt out, we were robbed
twice. But in the two years since, not a burglar has broken
in."
We admit that is a pretty good method of putting a stop to
a snorer, but not the absolute cure. What—you're still reading
to find the cure? It won't be long now.
A good method of preventing snoring is to put a short strip
of court plaster across the mouth nightly for several weeks.
Men have often done this to their wives. It serves a double
purpose. Another excellent method is to tie a bandage under
the jaw and'over the head to keep the mouth Closed.
All of these are good, but not good enough. The absolute
and by far the most superior method to cure snoring is simply
eat No-Doze night and day for 6 weeks, thereby not sleeping
for this period. If, this method fails, I'm afraid that you've
had it. t2.

Ma lone Announces Application Deadline
For Fulbright. Rhodes Scholarships
Application deadlines for the Fulbright and Rhodes Scho­larship
were announced today by David H. Malone, secretary
of the API Scholarship Committee.
Anyone applying for the Fulbright Scholarship must have
his/ application completed and filed with the Scholarship
Committee by October 31; Rhodes
Scholarship applications must be
in by October 20.
Awards under the Fulbright
Act are a part of the educational
exchange program of the Depart­ment
of State. The objectives of
this program are to promote bet­ter
understanding of the United
States and abroad, and to increase
mutual understanding between
the people of the United States
and the people of other countries.
Selection is made on the basis
of the applicant's personal quali­fications;
academic record, value
of the proposed study or research,
and suitability for placement in
an institution of higher learning
abroad.
THIRTY-TWO Rhodes Scholar­ships
are assigned annually to,
the United States. Basis of selec­tion
is made upon the following
qualities: literary and scholastic
ability and attainments; qualities
of manhood, truth, courage, devo­tion
to duty, sympathy, kindli­ness,
unselfishness, and manhood;
exhibition of moral force of char­acter
and of instincts to lead and
to take an interest in his school­mates,
and physical vigor, as
shown by interest in outdoor
sports or in other ways.
In making this announcement,
Malone stated, "In the past we
have had very few applications
for either of these scholarships. I
believe the reason has been that
in the first place not many stu­dents
have known of their exis­tence
and in the second place Au­burn

Episcopal Students Grow Spirtually
In Fellowship Of Canterbury Foundation
By Howard Skelton
The Canterbury Foundation, organization for Episcopal
students, student wives and families on the API campus, helps
students grow in the knowledge, worship and life of Christ
through Christian fellowship.
The program of the Foundation is separate from the
Parish, but in worship and special
phases of Christian work, the
whole .fellowship joins together
in cooperation.
Students belonging to the Can­terbury
Foundation have ample
opportunities to -prepare them­selves
while at Auburn for places
of leadership in their community
churches after graduation. They
serve on committees of worship,
finance, service, fellowship, and
evangelism.
EACH QUARTER, Foundation
members select 12 students to
carry on the business affairs of
the Foundation. They compose the
Canterbury Vestry and their func­tion
is to foster the Christian pro­gram
of the Foundation.
Each Sunday night at 5:30, mem­bers
of the Canterbury Club, which
is sponsored by the Foundation,
meet for an evening of worship,
fellowship, education, and recrea­tion.
Bible Classes are at 10 each
Sunday morning.

A nation-wide survey based on actual

Luckies' better taste. What's more, this

Behind Spence's Historic Performances
Stands Unsung Plainsman Line Corps
Last week the space devoted in your student newspaper
to Dudley Spence was far from untimely. Imbedded deeply
within us now are some outstanding facts concerning this
heretofore unrenowned Plainsman quarterback: his consecu­tive
pass record against Wofford tied an all-time SEC mark.
His 81-yard pass play to Capt. Lee Hayley was sixth longest of its
kind in the history of the conference. Three of his 11 passes went for
touchdowns.
But there are always unsung heroes existing with the man written
up. These people contribute a great deal to the success of the person
publicized. Such people as the offensive'and
defensive units of the great Auburn line are
the ones to whom we refer.
Offensive ends receive their share of
newsprint because they are closely related
to the average spectator's favorites, the
backs, and do a considerable bit of the
-tallying. Such is the case of Hayley, Jim
Hall, Bill Larimore, and Bill Keller.
Between these offensive ends stands the
core of the wall, Danny Stewart, Ed Duncan,
Guy Bruce, Foy Thompson, and Ted Neura.
Saturday they were magnificent in affording
Spence essential pass protection and opening
holes for the Plainsmen to surpass 200 yards
rushing.
Laney The mammoth defensive line, averaging
216 pounds in Alternate Captain Bill McMurry, Bill Turnbeaugh,,
Stewart, Neura, Sam Hanks and Jack Langford, warrants more
credit than has been pointed its way. A significant reason is the
mere 26 yards rushing this sextet allowed Wofford in the initial half
Saturday. Of course the spectacular linebacking of Jack Locklear
and Bob Scarbrough attracts notice.
Locklear and Scarbrough blended with Percy Alford, Herbert
Jordan.and Bobby Jordan to start Auburn on its way to holding the
Terriers to less than 100 yards via air. These men have proven that
the completion of short passes (typical of Wofford) isn't enough to
win ball games.
As the only Tiger win of the season is reminisced, it becomes
more enticing for this desk to make a prediction on the game to­morrow.
The Golden Tornado is seldom quelled on Atlanta's Grant
Field but the Plainsmen, winless there since 1940, are due tomorrow
by a score of something like 27-13.
—Pre-Tech Symposium At Field House
By mid-week the Auburn Field House was buzzing with more
anticipation than ever over the upcoming Georgia Tech opponent.
Though no one there flatly predicted an Auburn victory, implications
of such were construed by a reporter from the talk and activity exist­ing
in the building on Thach Street.
A cross-sectioning of Field House personnel brought forth these
quotes:
Coach Shug Jordan—"We have very much respect for Tech. They
do have the experienced material. I think our win over Wofford
did much to restore any confidence we may have lost in the two
games before that, and this confidence is important Saturday. We're
going to Atlanta with much respect for Tech, but we're not inhibited
or intimidated."
Athletic Director Jeff Beard—"I can't say we'll win but it cer­tainly
looks like we can and are very capable of doing so. We're im­proved
this year, and I think our chance of beating Tech is as good
as it has been in a long time!" |
Alternate Captain Bill McMurry—"We're going to Atlanta with
only one intention—to beat Tech."
Sports Publicist Bill Beckwith—"Chief War Eagle himself is about
the only predictor of an Auburn victory, primarily because its been
so long since we've beaten Tech. Ours is no pushover team though, as
was proven against Maryland when we scored to temporarily take
the lead. I might add that no team has scored on the Terps since
then."
—Tiger Topics
Furman (Atlanta Constitution) Bisher—"There is wide-spread
anticipation of serious differences with Auburn at Grant Field Satur­day.
The Tigers have snowballed into a tremendously lively pace,
and their books have been opened to this page on Tech since back in
September. They haven't won in this series since 1940, and to an old
grad like James Ralph Jordan, a victory over Georgia Tech is becom­ing
increasingly important."
Bill (Atlanta Constitution) McGrotha—"Tech's Bobby Dodd: 'We
know Auburn would perhaps rather beat Tech than any other team on
their schedule. We also know that Auburn, who stopped our running
game last year, has a better defense this time. Like Tulane, Auburn
has more team-speed than it has had in a long time. They are going
to toe plenty rough for us'."
Tech's SEC Supremacy Threatened;
Grant Field Kickoff Time Set For 2:30
By Dave "Foots" Laney
Auburn's Plainsmen, their confidence boistered by an
initial win of the season over Wofford, invade Atlanta's Grant
Field tomorrow for the annual gridiron tussle with Georgia
Tech, currently considered the elite of football society in
Dixie. Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m. (CST).
The fact that Auburn has re­turned
to the ranks of the nation's
better teams plus the long history
behind the Auburn-Tech series
signifies the color of tomorrow's
battle. That the Plainsmen have
been winless in Atlanta since 1940
also adds to the intensity of this
important conference affair.
DEADLY DUDLEY Spence, a
senior who replaces Dooley at
quarterback, will test his thus-far
adept passing attack against the
tight Golden Tornado defense
which has allowed only three
touchdowns in four games this
season. Spence ranks very high
nationally with his 71.4 passing
average (25 of 35 passes complete
for 318 yards and four touch­downs),
and commands respect
otherwise with a superb punting
average of 40.2 on 24 punts.
Spence's counterpart. Bill Brig-ham,
has beep successful in ex­tending
the Tornado's skein of 18
games without defeat by guiding
Tech past The Citadel, Florida,
SMU, and Tulane this season. Of
course at his command have been
two good ends, Buck Martin and
Jeff Knox, a backfield rated the
SEC's best, and a veteran inner lin.
Martin received four passes which
beat Auburn 27-7 last year.
EARLIER this week Tech was
ranked first in the nation by Inter­national
News Service, and was
included within the first five by
Associated and United Press polls;
in pre-season polling of SEC
coaches and news writers, the
Yellow Jackets were termed con­ference
champion-to-be for 1952.
Contrarily, Auburn was rated 32nd
in the nation by AP this week,
and next to worst in the confer­ence
before the season started.
In the Auburn-Tech s e r i es
which began in 1892, the Atlantans
bold a slight edge in statistics. Of
54 games, Tech has won 27 to Au­burn's
24, and three have been
deadlocked. The general closeness
of the series is evidenced by the
716 points scored by Tech and-715
by Auburn in the 54 games.

AN IDEA OF WHAT TECH RUNNERS will face tomorrow in Atlanta is represented by Auburn's
sturdy defense. The Plainsmen forward wall comprises Jack Langford (85), M. L. Brackctt (60),
Danny Stewart (79), Jack Locklear (89), Ted Neura (71), Bill Turnbeaugh (66), and Alternate
Captain Bill McMurry (58). Herbert Jordan (48), Bobby Jordan (42), Jim Dillion (35) and Percy
Alford (44) constitute'the backfield. Only deviations from this defensive line-up are Sam Hanks
and Bobby Scarbrough (neither shown) replacing Brackett and Dillion respectively. (API photo by

Umbach's Muscled Maulers Prepare
To Mangle More Mat Opponents
By Larry Connor
Coach Swede Umbach, producer
of the finest collegiate wrestling
teams in the South at Auburn dur­ing
the last five years, defied most
rules of coaches yesterday by slat­ing
that his Plainsmen grapplers
should have their best year in his­tory.
The team looses James Johns,
Southeastern champ in his weight
division, and Fred Snow and John
Glenn, both second place winners
in the Southeastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Tournament last winter.
Despite these losses, Coach Um­bach
says, "This is potentially the
best group of boys I have had
since I have been coaching at Au­burn."
RETURNING FOR another sea­son
of varsity' wrestling is a com­petent
aggregation of Tiger grap­plers.
In the 123-pound division
stands Robert David, second place
winner in the Southeastern Tour­ney
last year. Next is Hay Dow­ney,
the Southeast's 130-pound
division champion. In the next
division, the 147-pound, Auburn
boasts another fine performer,
Southeastern Champion J e r ry
Bains.
Moving up in the weight divi­sions,
Coach Umbach can rely on
Russell Baker, fourth in the 157-
pound class in last year's tourney,
and George Cooley, 177-pound
runner up.
Added strength for the 137-
pound division stems from Robert
Hall and Billy Parks, while Cul­ver
Deloach will aid the 130-
pound men. With Billy Goodson to

THE HEAVYWEIGHT division
is the domain of Dan McNair the
reigning king of Dixie's Heavy­weights.
Dangerous Dan won the
Southeastern heavyweight wrest­ling
crown plus the Southern Dis­trict
Olympic tryouts, before tak­ing
third place in the national
Olympic finals during the 1952
season. McNair is one of the most
formidable grapplers in collegiate
circles today.
Returning regulars are not the
whole story however. With 40 boys
out for the team, Coach Umbach is
assured of plenty of fresh maulers
to give added power to his mat
team. Brightest new prospects so
far are John Hudson a regular
who was lost last year because of
injuries, and Dick Downey, last
year's 147-pound m i d-S o u t h
champ from Baylor Prep school.
Behind these two proven men
comes an impressive host of new
talent, including Glen Sanders
arid Al Meyers 167-pounders, and
Dan Atkinson and William Gun­nels
in the 147-pound class.

Burbank Fires Two Scoring Passes
As Auburn Frosh Take Bullpups, 12-7
By Ronald Owen
Capitalizing on seven Georgia fumbles, Auburn's Baby
Tigers overcame a strong Bulldog frosh team in Cliff Hare
Stadium last Friday to win their second game of the season,
12-7.
Although out-gained both' on the ground and in the air',
Auburn played best when the
Studies and freshmen in to play
the rest of the game.
DANGEROUS DUDLEY Spence,
already respected the league over
for his kicking foot, proved his
air-arm as he tied the Southeast­ern
Conference passing record
with 11 straight.completions. The
six-foot, 170-pound senior quarter­back,
a "fill-in" for injured Vince
Dooley, had 15,000 fans gelling
"War Eagle" with passes for three
touchdowns and 214 yards.
Spence mixed his aerials with
Coach Jordan's straight and split-
T attack to completely baffle the
fieshman-studded Terriers. In the
opening moments of the contest he
threw passes to Jim Hall and. Lee
Hayley for a couple of six-point­ers.
His last TD throw was to Bill
Larrimore for six yards. When
Rigas Coptsias missed Dudley's
twelfth pass, Spence took his place
in the record books with Georgia
Tech's Eddie Prokop and Mississ­ippi's
Charley Connerly.
CHARLIE HATAWAY, T r o y,
ran 39 yards for the third Tiger
tally, breaking, off the right ,sid£,
reversing his field and outrunning
four Terriers; He scored again
after Bobby Jordan was stopped
on the six after a 62-yard punt
return.
Fob James, Lanett, fresh from a
frosh game the day before came
in the last half and brightened the
future of Auburn athletics. He
took a Bill Burbank pass for 25
yards and out-nianeuvered Wof­ford
defenders for 15 more and a
score.
Jack Locklear, a monster on de­fense,
and supposedly inexperien­ced
on offensive, scored a touch­down
on a 42-yard punt return.
Spectators noticed that "Chero-

API Debate Team Receives Invitations
