Greek Week To Mark
Year Of Progress
By Campus Societies
By War Eagle
Auburn's s e c o n d annual
Greek Week, which begins
next Sunday, will mark an­other
year of growth and pro­gress
for the fraternities and
sororities'on the API campus.
The events of the week-long
program, including panel discus­sions,
open houses, a pan-hellenic
workshop, Hey Day and other
features, will go a long way toward
strengthening relations between
the Greek groups, and conse­quently
toward increasing the ef­fectiveness
of one of the most po­tent
forces in local student life.
The fraternity system as we
know it here is not without fault.
Charges of snobbishness and
hypocrisy which critics of the
system constantly hurl are not
entirely unfounded, and other
criticisms arc also valid in some
cases. i
People who think as they ob­serve
the Greeks at work in
Auburn must, however, take into
account several other factors.
The fraternities are the point of
origin for much of the good on the
campus. They form the core of
competition in such projects as the
blood drive and the Campus Chest
Drive, and they serve in an in-despensible
capacity as incubators
of student leadership.
1 In addition, the fraternities and
sororities are the center of cam­pus
social life and they serve as
excellent laboratories in the vital
field of human relations.
Perhaps the strongest argument
in their favor is their constant
effort, through projects such as
Greek Week to rectify their short­comings
and improve themselves
in the field of service to the
campus community.
So, with the beginning of an­other
Greek Week in sight, this
old bird says congratulations to
the Greeks, and keep up the good
work!

Legislators Review API Progress;
Discuss Future Needs Of Institution
By Herb White
On Monday, members of six legislative committees and
many interested alumni were on campus to review API pro­gress
and the needs of the institution for the future.
In his opening address to the lawmakers and alumni API
president Ralph B. Draughon stated, "We have invited you
that they also have tremendous
problems."
DURING THE course of the
day the legislators and alumni
were divided into groups. These
groups studied problems in in­struction,
administration and fin­ance,
maintenance and operation
of the physical plant, student acti­vities,
agricultural research and
agricultural extension.
"The outstanding characterist­ics
of Auburn are the friendliness,
informality, cooperation, enthu­siasm
and love of the 'Loveliest
Village.' The thrill is in working
together, all members of the team,
to meet our problems and build
an even greater Auburn," con-eluded
Dr. Draughon.
THE LEGISLATORS attending
this meeting were members of the
ways and means, the finance and
taxation, the agriculture and the
education committees of t he
house and senate.

interim committees of the Ala­bama
Legislature prior to the
opening session in May. We feel
that you should know something
of the purposes and functions of
a very important Alabama insti­tution
which you will be called
on to support during the coming
session.
"WE FEEL that it is our duty
to acquaint you with its workings
and its problems. We believe that
it is serving a great purpose, and
that you, as we, can find great
satisfaction in its accomplish­ments.
"We have no intention of mag­nifying
our problems or attempt­ing

expense of the public schools, the
University, or other state colleges.
We feel that, like Auburn, these
other institutions are doing a
great work under handicaps, and

By Les Ford
Five hundred and fifty pledges for blood donations pushed
the blood drive, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb.
24-25, past the halfway mark this week, according to an­nouncement
by Chick Watson, chairman of the Campus Drives
Committee.
IN MAKING the announcement,
Watson stated that the number of
pledges represented a little more
than half of 1,000 pint goal, and
that it is hoped that the drive will
go over that mark. The 550 pled­ges
were received from 13 frater­nities,
and Watson added that the
committee is expecting the great­er
portion of the turnout from
among non-fraternity groups.
"We have been receiving won­derful
cooperation from students,
Deans Compromise
On Pre-Registrafion
To Adopt Calendar
In their regular session Tues­day
afternoon, the API Council of
Deans adopted a revised college
calendar which included a "com­promise"
plan on the controversial
issue of pre-registration.
The calendar adopted by the
council includes four Saturday
class days for the 1953-54 aca­demic
year, with final examina­tions
scheduled for one Saturday.
The total of five Saturdays in
school represents a reduction of
two from the current calendar.
THE DECISION on pre-regis­tration
makes it possible for
juniors and seniors to register in
advance for classes which will'be
taken in the winter and spring
quarters, while members of the
two lower classes will report back
to the campus for mass registra­tion
for those terms.
All students will be permitted^
to pre-register for summer quar­ter
courses, but pre-rcgistra-tionj
for lower classmen will be a
two day period at the beginning
of the winter and spring terms.
OTHER C H A N G E S in the
calendar include lengthening of
the final exam period in every
quarter except the summer, and
postponing graduation from the
last day of finals to the day after
examinations end.
The deans adopted the revised
calendar after several weeks of
deliberation on the matter. The
final approval came after the
schedule had been outlined by
the council's calendar and regis
tration committees.
Today the Drives Committee
Chairman stated that the com­mittee
had been unable to con­tact
a number of Korean veter­ans
due to the fact that they do
not have telephones. Watson
urged those not contacted to ap­pear
at the student activities
building at 10 a.m. Tuesday,
Feb. 24.
faculty and townspeople, and we
hope that this spirit will continue
through the final day of the drive.
The Korean veterans have been
especially cooperative in pledging
their attendance on Tuesday, and
the local theatres gave us a por­tion
of their time last week.
"THE AUBURN Knights have
offered the services of their bus for
the drive, and arrangements have
been made so that the vehicle will
leave the student activities build­ing
on the hour, transporting
donors back to the main part of
the campus. The route of the bus,
picking up blood donors to trans­port
them to the student activi­ties
building will include Mag­nolia
Hall, Athey's, the post office,
the corner of College St. and
Thach Ave., the Library and
Dormitory VI, in that order,"
stated Watson.
The drives chairman also urged
those, who have pledged their
blood to report to the student
activities building at the time for
which they were scheduled, and
asked that donors abide by the
diets which will be at their dis­posal
at the dormitories and frat­ernity
and boarding houses.
THE ABOVE campus "sweeties" are members of Alpha Delta Pi sorority winners in the sorority
division of Blue Key-Sphinx Skit Nights. Title of the skit was "Sweet Dreams." Winner of the frater­nity
group was Sigma Chi with their presentation of "Tarzan Goes Ape." Both winners -will pre­sent
their skits during the festival of Open House. i

Marine Corps Offers
Commissions To Grads
The marine corps has announced
that due to the current expansion
of its regular officer strength it
will offer a number of commis­sions
to midyear 1953 Army ROTC
graduates.
This program has been approved
by the Department of the Army as
in the best interests of the armed
forces and the national security.
Major army commanders and
PMST's have been notified of the
requirements of the program.
The marines expect to appoint
a "substantial" number of^ ROTC
graduates to the grade of second
lieutenant in their regular corps
under this program, states the an­nouncement.
To be eligible, an applicant must
complete ROTC instruction and
the necessary academic require­ments
for a bachelor's degree be­tween
November 1, 1952 and April
23, 1953.
Once commissioned, the second
lieutenants start a five month
Special basic course at the Marine !
Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia, j
After completing basic school, over
half of the new officers will be
assigned to specialist training at
one of the marine corps' 16 special­ist
schools. I

THE DU PONT
DIGEST
JOB WITH A FUTURE-Varied
experiences in a Du Pont chemical plant
fit young engineers for higher responsibility
As was pointed out in t h e last issue of
the Digest, Du Pont's many product
lines afford men interested in pro­duction
supervision experience in a
wide variety of operations.
For a better idea of what the work
involves, let's consider°a specific case
—the production of "Mycoban" so­dium
and calcium propionates, in­hibitors
used by bakeries to extend
the mold-free life of bread and other
baked goods.
Many of t h e problems encountered
in the manufacture of "Mycoban"
are similar to those arising in the
manufacture of any Du Pont chemi­cal.
There is the same continuing
effort to improve quality, while cut­ting
costs through the better use of
equipment, instrument controls and
raw materials.
The supervisor works hand in hand
with the plant technical section to­ward
these goals. He also keeps him­self
informed on technological and
economic trends affecting production
and sales, finds explanations for out-of-
line costs, and prepares plans and
estimates for increasing production.
Such work obviously calls for a
spund technical background. In ad­dition,
however, considerable admin­istrative
ability is needed. A super­visor
must be able to supervise. His
duties include keeping people under
h im informed about long-range
Production Supervisor Robert B. McCue (at
right), B.S. in Ch. E., West Virginia '38,
and plant laboratory shift-leader J. P. Quarles,
B.S. in Ch. E., Lehigh '38, discuss analysis

changes in company policy and as­suming
responsibility for their safety
and morale. '
Theunusualproblemsencountered
in "Mycoban" production are largely
due to the seasonal nature of its sales.
I t s greatest use is in the hot, humid
months, or from late spring to early
fall. For this reason:
1. Production and warehouse inven­tories
of "Mycoban" must be care­fully
balanced against sales forecasts.
The supervisor gathers necessary
background information for this op­eration.
2 . Production needs, including man­power,
equipment and materials,
must likewise be planned to meet
sales forecasts.
3 . Maintenance, including a yearly
hydrostatic test of the plant, must
be scheduled with the plant main­tenance
supervisor for the minimum
interference with peak-season pro­duction.
Emergency maintenance
must be kept down by carefully
planned preventive maintenance.
As you can see, production super­visors
have a broad field of activity
at Du Pont. The experience gained
in this job will prepare an ambitious
man for advancement to positions
of still higher responsibility.

A Calendar At Last! Little Man On Campus by Bibler
After weeks of deliberation, postpone-meht
and reconsideration, the API Council
of Deans has finally acted to approve an
official calendar for the next academic
year,
Due to some rather unusual factors in­volved
this year, the calendar problem was
a thorny one, and the council was forced
to consider it from many angles before ar­riving
at a decision.
The new calendar incorporates four
major changes which will have a direct
effect upon the academic lives of students
and faculty members. Three of these
changes are patently for the better—as for
the fourth, we have our doubts.
First of all, Saturday classes—one of
the most abominable features of college life
from a student viewpoint—have actually
been reduced. This year's calendar calls
for seven of the Saturday sessions, while
the new schedule only includes five, one
of which will be used for final examina­tions.
Compared with the original draft
of the calendar, which called for an in­crease
to nine Saturday class sessions, the
revised version shows a very definite im­provement.
Another change which should be quite a
boon to students is the extension of the '
final exam period. In years past, with
finals jammed into three harried days, stu­dents
have sometimes found themselves
faced with as many as three finals in one
day, with perhaps a fourth one scheduled
for the evening hours. It is impossible for
students overloaded in such a manner to
do their best work on finals, and we will
venture to say that too many tests in one
day have been a strong,contributing factor
to many poor grades which could have
been better.
With ah additional day available for
finals at the end of each quarter, much of
the pressure should be relieved. We have
seen plans for distribution of the exams
over the new four-day period, and we feel
confident that careful scheduling will
serve to lighten the final exam load for
many students, enabling them to receive
better rewards for work done during the
quarter. *
The third change, an administrative one,
postpones graduation exercises from the
last day of finals to the day following.
While not concerning students directly, it
is expected to streamline the reporting of
grades for graduating seniors considerably.
Final significant change, and one in
which we see little virtue involves the
deans' decision on pre-registration. Pre-registration
was one of the main issues
handled by the calendar makers, and the
council's action on the problem has been
watched with extreme interest by both stu­dents
and faculty members.
The compromise plan which the revised
calendar incorporates is, in a sense, a con­cession
to students. Many of the deans
were and are opposed to pre-registration
but acted on the compromise because of the
concern which students have shown about
the matter.
Admittedly, we are not familiar with
all the administrative problems involved
in the registration of some 6,500 students.
A careful examination, however leads us
to only one advantage of the compromise—
pre-registration of the two upper classes
will serve to reduce congestion at the mass
registration period.
Otherwise, the combination system ap­pears
to us to offer all the disadvantages
of both systems, rather than the limited
objectionable features of either total pre-registration
or total mass registration.
Either form is a lot of work, and since the
compromise will require the setting-up of
both, we fail to see a significant adminis­trative
advantage in the new plan.
This newspaper has already stated its
position on pre-registration. We feel that
it is to the advantage of the students and
the • institution—a feeling which is based
upon several considerations which were
published previously. The only thing we'
have to add is that we believe the objec­tions
to mass registration are just as valid
for freshmen and sophomores as they are
for upper classmen.
It is well that seniors and juniors will
escape the sound and fury of mass regis­tration.
But why subject freshmen and
sophomores to something which is undesir­able
for students of higher standing?
We're still afraid that freshmen will
find themselves echoing a five column ban­ner
headline which appeared last week in
LSU's Daily Reville: "As If Death and
Taxes Were Not Enough—Registration!!"
"I'm sure I have some cigarettes here someplace."

Student Faced With Memory Problem
By Fred Nichols
Nichols
A Bloody Business
War is a bloody business. It makes no
difference what title the conflict goes
under—whether it's "police action," "de­laying
action," or "world war," the men
who feel the brunt of the action realize
only that they are engaged in a bitter
struggle for life itself.
To the American public, the conflict
now under way in Korea bears few of the
"college deferment." Through its opera­tion,
many of us find ourselves in the
rather unique position of attending school
while our compeers are in a full-scale, life
or death struggle on the other side of the
world. We are permitted to remain in
school for reasons which sometimes seem
rather superficial—a slight edge financi­ally
or an equally thin margin of intellect-
Every hustler and bustler of our
modern era has probably come to
realize that proper development of
his memory is of paramount im­portance
to the businessman,
housewife, engineer and lieutenant.

Associated Collegiate Press
The issue of college draft deter­ments
came up again recently when
the senate armed service committee
questioned John Hannah before
approving him as secretary of de­fense.
When Hannah was asked about
the matter of
college educa­tions
for the
wealthy and
Korean assign­ments
for the
poor, he replied,
"It worries me
that there is so
much validity in
t h e statement
that the son of
the well-to-do
family goes to
college and the son of the less
well-to-do goes to Korea."
It seems to us that Hannah and
the armed services committee over­looked
the fact that college students
also go to Korea, sometimes within
a few days after their graduation.
And while they are still in college,
they take ROTC and other courses
that will make them better leaders
on the battle fields and better
citizens when they return.
In our opinion, it would be a
shame if students were yanked
out of college, where they might
be learning things beneficial to
the world of tomorrow, to fight to­day.
— After ail, a degree is no guaran­tee
against a bullet. And by the
time the students get overseas to
take their turn facing the music,
many of the "less well-to-do" boys
will be back home, some of them
here in Auburn on the GI Bill.
The way we see it, it all boils
down to the fact that the men
have to go do the job, whether
•they are college graduates or men
who have never opened a book.
It's like a grim variation of the
old childhood saying "turn about
is fair play."
We are not attempting to decide
whether it is best to fight first
and get it over with, or go to school
first and fight later. Nor do we
favor regular students over GI stu­dents,
or vice-versa.
/
Our sole aim is to point out that,
in our opinion, Hannah is worrying
over a matter which could only
be made worse by denying college
draft deferment to deserving stu­dents.
The situation certainly merits the
attention of the government, but
we don't think the answer lies in
turning collegians over to the draft
board. Unfortunately, it looks as
if there will be plenty of war left
for them after they graduate.
It's commendable that Hannah
has thought about the problem,
but the bouquets are withheld un­til
a remedy is found that will
dispel the idea that the wealthy
study while .the poor fight. We
think there's more to it than that.

There is more to life than in­creasing

There has been quite a bit of
speculation on this page recently as
to the possibilities of someone fly­ing

As the year
progresses, the
odds are becom­ing
greater that
you won't start

Stop signs are being taken to
mean "Squeal Tires On Pavement,"
instead of their literal significance,
and this can only result in disaster.
Traffic accidents have reached
an all-time high, with 42,000 to be
killed in the next year, and one and
a half million injured. Insurance
rates have sky-rocketed, especially
in trfc drivers' lower age group, and
this fact is obviously due to situa­tions
such as these.
Modern living has provided us
with enough dangers without add­ing
more by sheer carelessness
and neglect. The problem is seri­ous,
and something must be done
to c o p e with it. If m o r e
strict traffic regulations are in
order; then, they should -be enact­ed,
but this again is not the cure-all.
Personal responsibility is the
basic solution and is definitely
being neglected.
Recognizing the fine job that
the Building & Grounds has been
doing in keeping the campus in
top-notch condition, it is not un­derstandable
why that department
does not keep the sign in front of
Samford, giving enrollment and
other statistics, up-to-date.
Almost every person passing
through Auburn via highway 80
views the sign at least once, and
these persons should be given an
accurate insight to the enrollment
of the college. At present, the sign
portrays enrollment statistics as of
the spring quarter, 1952—a' gross
injustice to the tremendous in­crease
over that time.
This is not the first time that
the placard has been in dire need
of repairs either, for until the
sign was repainted last spring
quarter it bore the enrollment fig­ures
that were established in 1948.
Surely the Building & Grounds
could utilize the ability of an art
student for a few minutes each
quarter to keep one of the most
looked-at signs in Auburn up to
date.
A Word With Sully
What was the third thing? Was
it the same thing that was made
into a song for a man? This is not
possible, since the "Third Man
Thing" was made into a film also
—and you just don't forget films.
Since .we are pledged to this guy's
secrecy of his name, we would like
to ask that any suggestions for
the missing "third thing" be carv­ed
in jelly and mailed to this office
for obvious reasons.
Maybe the missing third thing
could be connected with an ex­perience
of another person, who's
name we can't purpose, which oc-cured
recently. This person had
a terrible time trying to remember
colors, especially gold. Anytime
that a gold coin, fraternity pin,
cuff link or filling came before
his eyes, he was immediately
stumped for a descriptive word to
enchant the owner of the valuable.
The guy just could not remember
the word "gold."
No correlation between the miss­ing
"third thing" and the "gold"
exists except one, one mind you,
facti. That is, the guy who couldn't
remember the word "gold" was
suffering from a guilt complex.
As far as connecting it with the
other guy's problem, we can't be­cause
as of now we (we, meaning
I) forgot the name of the guy who's
name we could not dispose. Call
it a lesson in memory madness.
Fiction and fact; from Cedric's
Almanac:
More "o's" are used in this
week's almanac than any other
facsimilie. Utilize this fact by
filling each "o" with graphite or
ink and thereby, pass time like
we other "o fillers" do.
'You Pushed That Man!'
The following column, "Basket­ball
For Beginners," appeared in
the January 23 issue of The Log
Splinter, a publication of the
United States Naval Academy.
With some minor changes we pre­sent
this article to you.
A basketball
is a b o d y of
w i n d entirely
surrounded b y
leather, which
keeps the wind
from getting out
of shape. It is
used in a game.
The g a m e is
played between
two teams, the
home team com­posed
of five
small boys, and the visiting team
composed of three large boys and
two giraffes.
The other men on the floor are
called referees. Depending on who
made the last foul, the referees may
either be upholders of eternal truth
or two blind men going around-without
their canes and dogs.
Sullivan
Someone once accused the referee
ci' being a descendent of Jesse
James who' inherited everything
but his horse.
Coaches also figure in the game.
The basketball coach lies awake
at night figuring out smart plays
for his team to make—then watch­es
the other team make them the
next night. Basketball is played
in a gym, which is a "bug house"
without bars on the windows.
The game is played on a basket­ball
court, which is a body of
hardwood entirely surrounded by
insanity. It has two goals or bas­kets.
The one used by our side
is over in Opelika. A player will
sometimes be seen running along
the floor after the ball, patting
it affectionately whenever he can
catch up with it.
When a visitor does that it is
called "dribbling"—when one of
our players does it, the referees
call it "traveling." A jump ball is
an occasion when one of our little
boys and one of their big ones'are
called together to see which one'
can knock the ball into the visitor's
By Charles Sullivan
hand.
A foul is called when one of our
boys accidently touches a visitor,
or when a visitor gets one of our
boys down on the floor and twists
his arm. Then there is the double
foul, which means that sometimes
when the visitors foul us they get
a free throw too.
In the old days, they played
basketball in Alumni Gym, but the
fans jumped up and down until
everybody was afraid the gym
would fall down and they would
have to take time out. So they
built the* Sports Arena, and now
everybody is afraid the Arena
won't fall down. The game was a
lot rougher in the old .days. The
referees spent most o£*their time
trying to keep from getting run
over, and whenever you heard a
whistle blow, you just thought it
was time to go to work. |
It's a funny thing about bas­ketball,,
the visiting teani is always
big and tough, and they always
have the best gym, except when
you play in their gym, and then
the floor is dead for you.

Conditions Will Demand Expansion ,
By Walter Everidge
Ed. Note: This is the final arti­cle
of two concerned with Au­burn's
needs for further ex­pansion.
With the demand so great under
existing circumstances, the ques­tion
arises, where will we be five
years from now?—ten years?
It takes ap­p
r o x i m a t e ly
three years to
erect one build­ing
on the cam­pus
after alloca­tions
are guar­anteed.
This
p e r i o d takes
into considera­tion
preliminary
planning, re- !
quests for bids,
acquiring neces­sary
materials and the final stage,
construction and equipment. All
of which means that by 1956, if
the money was available, Auburn
could have the buildings it needs.
Everidge
However, circumstances indicate
that we will fall short of the figure
of our last budget by one million
dollars. Auburn will be fortunate
if it has one of these buildings by
1958, should the present trend con­tinue.
Forces are now at work which
tend to burst the seams of our edu­cational
system. It is happening
in our elementary and secondary
schools, and is expected to be un­leashed
upon American colleges
and ' universities within seven
years. The force which we must
combat, strangely e n o u g h , is
created by an overwhelming num­ber
of children now demanding an
education
Why is this? Statisticians will
bear out that during the years of
World War II, the nation was sub­jected
to a "bumper crop" of births
As a result, elementary schools are
feeling the pinch
If doubt exists due to this state­ment,
a look at the tremendous
growth in the number of elemen­tary
schools will suffice to elimi­nate
that doubt in part. Further
proof may be seen by noting the
hue and cry that is still coming
from this level—a plea for more
and better classroom facilities.
Needless to say, our high schools
also are beginning to feel the ef­fects.
The University of Georgia has
estirf. \ted that its present 3,700
enrollment will jump to 10,000 by
1960. If API were to use the same
ratio based on its current enroll­ment
the increase would be more
• astounding. Conservative sources
on the Plains state that our en­rollment
figure will be approxi­mately
7,000 by 1960. This col­umnist
feels that by that time
Auburn will be subjected to a de­mand
of at least a number of
students on par with the Athens
campus.
Therefore it is evident that the

country to Dwight Eisenhower, a

was assuming the burden. Even
though Truman was severly criti­cized
from every side, he always
thought that history would treat
him kindly.
At the risk of receiving even
more beefs than I've received in
the past several weeks, I'm going to
stick by Truman. I agree that
history will jay that he was a great
president.
He not only had more guts than
most of the other chief executives
combined, but he used his guts
against the feelings of the people.

When Eisenhower took the oath
he became the 34th president, and
thus marked the turning point of
two eras. The New Deal-Fair
Deal period that had instigated a
political philosophy destined to
have a resounding effect on the
American concepts of economy
and politics had come to an end.
In its place began a new era of
new political concepts and eco­nomic
policies, and a new approach
to foreign policy, all of which have
yet to stand the exacting test of
time..
It is interesting and significant
to notice the contrast of emphasis
in Eisenhower's inaugural address
and in the corresponding speech
say about foreign problems, and
stopping the advance of Com­munism.
This contrast reflects the differ­ence
of the times. When FDR was
inaugurated we were in the depths
of an economic turmoil for which
quick remedies were urgently
needed.
Now the situation is reversed.
Our lives, and our Democratic
system are being challenged. Eisen­hower
has recognized this fact
and has appointed able assistants.
He is- doing everything possible
to combat Communism and pre­serve
our way of life.
Let me say that if Ike has the
personal fortitude, stamina, and
the physical being of his prede­cessor—
then he will go a long way
in the preservation of our ideals.

Speech Clinic, Lip Reading Aid
Deaf Student To Continue Education
By Barbara Searcy
One Auburn student is never bothered by the drone of a
professor's voice, whispering classmates, or other noisy de­tractions.
He is completely deaf.
Charles Lane, senior in architecture, lost his hearing last
June when he was struck with meningitis, yet he is able to
continue his education here. i
Impossible as this may sound,!1 n,', ', l ,"<i '" ,' l ' u l l t h" f;ivt'"-
Lane accomplished the feat by
learning to read lips with the aid
of his parents and "New Lessons

He now attends lip reading class­es
regularly in API's Speech
Clinic.
THE CLINIC reports t h at
Lane's voice quality has not suf­fered
any deterioration due to the
lack of audible cues, and that with
continued attention and training,
it is doubtful that there will be
such a loss.

how the Speech Clinic helps stu­dents.

and distortions: Next most num­erous
were voice problems—pitch
and stuttering.

Basketball, Football, Baseball Fans
Have Pick On Spring Sports Menu
It's almost that time of the year when sports fans can have
a greater variety of sports events to choose from than any
other time. As spring approaches, the lovers of basketball
find the hardwood excitement at its climax, football lovers
have the opportunity to witness spring training previews
and baseball lovers find the national pastime just around the
corner.
Auburn basketball fans have only one more chance to
see the "Swish Kids" in action on the home court Coach
Joel Eaves' Plainsmen travel to Qainesville Saturday to
meet the Florida Gators, and return the next Saturday to
close out the season with Alabama's Crimson Tide. There
will be no SEC basketball tournament this year.
Coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan and staff are attacking the
problems of spring football practice with new relish this year.
With the change in football rules came a change in football
strategy and tactics and from all indications Auburn will
stand to profit from the transition. As Coach Jordan was
quoted in the Birmingham News "We can't have a worse
season than we had last year so no rule can hurt us much."
The general attitude of the gridders, who weren't noted
specialists, is "now I'll have a chance to make the team" and
among those who are slated to be two platoon stars is "I'll
show them I can play both ways." It's a healthy attitude one
immediately notices when he watches one of the bruising
scrimmage sessions.
Baseball is conspiciously filling the sports pages in new-papers
lately, and if one wanders over beyond Cliff Hare
Stadium, he knows that the great American sport is not
far in the future. Coach Dick McGowen's charges are al­ready
limbering up in preparation for Auburn's opening
baseball game with Tulane, March 20, in New Orleans.
The loss of Inman Veal is the biggest blow to the Tiger
nine. Veal, a hard hitting, slick fielding shortstop, signed a
pro baseball contract, making him ineligible for any SEC
sport.
Interest In Men's Intramurals At Peak
Mid-quarter is past and the winter quarter is nearing the
finish. But the excitement in the one sports department
that attracts the most students is at its peak. As fraternity
and intramural teams start down the home stretch, interest
in intramural sports is at its highest.
Though receiving less publicity than any other sport on
the campus, intramural activity concerns more students than
does basketball, baseball, football, track, wrestling, or any
other sports. The winter quarter sports of basketball and
table tennis have proved highly successful despite an inter­ruption
by the flu epidemic. Robert Evans and staff deserve
some congratulations for their outstanding work.
* * * *
Athletic Director Jeff Beard accepted the resignation of
Travis Tidwell from the Auburn football coaching staff last
week.
Tidwell, a star quarterback on the Tiger grid team in
1947, '48 and '49 joined the coaching staff last quarter. Re­ports
state that he has accepted a position with a company in
Florida. No replacement has been found, yet.
Tiger Grid Records
Auburn's Bobby Jordan tied the all time Tiger pass inter­ception
record during the 1952 season with six. Safetyman
Vince Dooley snatched the same number in 1951 to tie Dick
McGowen's 1939 total.
Dudley Spence, Auburn's great punter, led the South­eastern
Conference in 1952 with an average of 40.3 yards per
kick on 33 boots. During his three varsity years he kicked
176 times for 6,796 yards, an overall average of 38.6 yards pel­try.
Freshman Bill Burbank threw only one pass during the
1952 season for Auburn but it was completed for a touchdown.
Another freshman, Fob James, Jr., caught the aerial for the

Bob Polk, Vanderbilt basketball coach, via Benny Mar­shall,
(Birmingham News) ". . . Auburn was just as strong
as we figured they would be. They have depth, height and
plenty of defense. There's no weakening when they sub­stitute
and they hustle all the way. The Tigers are, indeed,
the best basketball team to visit Nashville all season."
AUBURN'S JIM O'DONNELL drives in for a layup shot as

Jim O'Donnell Scores 23 Points
To Lead Tigers Over Ole Miss
By Larry Conner
Freshman Jim O'Donnell played one of his best games
Wednesday night as he led the Tigers to a 72-65 victory over
the Rebels of Ole Miss.
O'Donnell hit for 23 points against the Rebels which was
more than double his previous high of 10. The performance
carried the Tigers into a tic for
4th place in the SEC.
Bob Miller was behind O'Don­nell
with 21 points. Miller also
played a fine rebound game for
the Tigers . His control of the
backboards was a big factor in the
final outcome of the game.
THE O'DONNELL-Millcr scoring
machine was able to neutralize the
effectiveness of the Rebels' great
point maker Cob Jarvis. Jarvis
hit for 25 points in the encounter,
but in vain, since two high scorers
can better one.
In the second quarter with Au­burn
leading 15-14; Jarvis went on
a scoring spree that saw him make
13 consecutive points before an­other
Rebel was able to tally. On
the strength of this showing, Ole
Miss led at half time 33-32.
AT THE START of the second
half O'Donnell hit for 4 points
which tied the game 39-39 and for
3 more that put Auburn out in
front for good.
Though Auburn was to lead for
the remainder of the game, it was
still very close until near the end.
It was a team effort that pulled
the Tigers through. The Rebels
closed the gap to 62-58 with four
minutes to*go, but John Cochran
and Jack Turner collaborated to do
a little ball stealing and sharp-shooting
that gave the Tigers a
crushing 68-58 lead in the closing
moments of the final quarter.

Improved Tigers Battle Bengals
On Even Terms Before Losing 65-57
By Ronald Owen
A fighting Auburn team fought on even terms with the
highly toutod LSU Bengals for three quarters before suc­cumbing
65-57 to the conference leaders.
Rated eighth in the nation, the LSU quintet lived up to
press notices, but their All-America center, Bob Pettit, failed
to show as expected. The 6' 9
I 6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Feb. 18. 1953
pivotman scored only nine points
in contrast to his 24.2 average per
game prior to the contest.
The Tigers proved that they were
onfe of the strongest teams in the
conference as they battled the
Bengals in the nip and tuck game
that saw the lead change hands 12
times. Led by center Bob Miller
the Tigers were ahead at the end
of the first quarter 15-14. LSU's
Pettit, who couldn't follow Miller's
double fake maneuvers, left the
game at this point with four per­sonal
fouls.
WITH GUARDS McArdlc and
Magce hitting the nets, the Bengals
grabbed a four point lead and
matched the Tigers point for point
before finally surging ahead 35-27
by half-time.
^^Guard Bill Kirkpatrick got hot
the second half and scored three
straight field goals, Bubber Farish
tossed in two, Miller connected on
one and the Bengals found their
lead cut to 50-48 at the end of the
third period. The last stanza saw
the Tigers fall behind as Bengal
guards Belcher and Magec couldn't
miss. McArdle for LSU, Turner
and O'Donnell for Auburn fouled
out in the rough and tumble last
quarter, Auburn pulled to within
four points of the Bengals. At
that point Harry Rabcnhorst order­ed
his Bayou cagcrs to freeze the
ball, which the Bengal did success­fully
and Auburn suffered their
fifth conference loss.
HIGH POINT honors for the
night went to Center Bob Miller
who racked up1 15 points to keep up
his 14.4 average per game. The
smooth working pivot man held
Pettit to nine points and sub Ben­gal
center Bob Freshly to four as
he turned in a brilliant perform­ance
for the Tigers.

Freshman Coach Bill Lynn Provides
Future Aid For API's Cage Teams
By John Raines
Auburn's basketball future seems bright for two reasons.
First reason is that while Coach Joel Eaves' "junior" varsity
are bearly able to make ends meet in the win and loss record
they are gaining valuable experience that will make a senior
studded team great. Second is that Coach Bill Lynn's fresh­man
basketball team is burning the
circuit up with wins. Coach Lynn's
boys have breezed by good high
school teams, beaten good college
teams and have consistently played
good ball against the stiff opposi­tion.
LYNN HAS a knack for being
on a winning team. That could be
the reason for the first year's suc­cess.
But he modestly claims that
all the credit is due his boys—
that they were just a fine group
of ballplayers. He has been in
Auburn's athletic program since
1948, when he came here from St.
Bernard Junior College as a player.
At St. Bernard he made the
All-SEC Junior College team both
years. As a sophomore he was the
second highest scorer in the nation
in per game average. He averaged
23.9 points per game. Lynn was at
home at St. Bernard since his home
is in Cullman.*
HE CAME to the plains in 1948,
made the varsity team and pro­ceeded
to lead the scoring parade.
A consistently good player and
team man he was chosen Captain
his senior year.. After graduation
in the spring of 1950, he accepted
a job as physical education instruc­tor
and freshman basketball coach
here; ••"-• -
Before going into college ath­letics,
Lynh played high school
ball at Cullman.

Tigers Seek Revenge Against Gators
Saturday Night In SEC Battle

Coach Joel Eaves' "Swish Kids" take the road for the
first time in three games Saturday when they journey to
Florida to meet the Gators in an SEC battle.
Auburn will be out to avenge a 66-62 defeat handed them
by the Floridian's in the Sports Arena two weeks ago. The
Gators are second in the confer
ence standings and will probably
be rated a strong favorite over
the Tigers.

Auburn Wrestler 'Dangerous Dan'
ermed One Of South's Greatest
By Hanip Royston
"The South's greatest collegiate wrestler"—that's what
they're calling Auburn's Dan McNair, 6'2", 205 pound native
of New Orleans, and there's plenty of evidence to back up
that billing, too.
"Dangerous Dan" has won just about every collegiate title
possible in the South, and tied
the United States representative
to the Olympic games in Helsinki.

in 1946, this seems to be a."fair:

Future
Chance
Vought.
Chance Vought Aircraft, a designer and builder of military aircraft
for 35 years, offers the graduating engineer and scientist an oppor­tunity
to join in the design and manufacture of fighter aircraft and
guided missiles.
The design of fighter aircraft is constantly being improved as new
materials and more powerful engines become available. Guided mis­sile
design is in the pioneering stage and progress up to this point, in
our opinion, can be compared to the period of development of piloted
aircraft prior to World War I. Imaginative thinking as well as sound
engineering is an important part of these programs. The young engi­neer
through his creative thinking can rapidly assume a position of
engineering responsibility in the Chance Vought organization.
Almost every type of academic specialization can be utilized in
some phase of the design, development and test of a jet fighter or
guided missile. Technical assignments are available in the design and
analysis of specialized electronic components, structural and hydraulic
testing, structural and mechanical design, applied aerodynamics,
power plant analysis and testing, stress and vibration analysis and
flight testing.
If you are receiving a degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Mechani­cal
Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathe­matics
or Physics, Chance Vought invites you to discuss your future
in these fighter aircraft and guided missile programs. Contact your
Placement Director for an appointment with the Chance Vought
Aircraft representative.
