Local Political Claws
Being Sharpened;
Bird Wonders Why
By War Eagle
Campus politicians of the
one existing party are sharp­ening
their claws in prepara­tion
for the coming elections.
No one knows why. F r om all
indications, t h e contest will
have about as much fire and
vinegar as a Mother Goose story.
It's always the same tale when
there is no opposition.
The Ole Bird remembers elec­tions
which were hot—elections
which attracted the student body
to the polls. Time was when you
couldn't see a bulletin board for
the number of posters tacked up.
Time was when you could turn
on your radio the eve of an elec­tion
and hear the candidates make
their last appeal. Time was when
mass meetings were held and po­litical
hopefuls reiterated their
platforms.
That hasn't been too long ago.
It hasn't been long since the All-
Campus Party and the War Eagle
Party mapped strategic plans. It
wasn't at all un-eommon to come
out one morning and find the
campus bedecked with slogans
and placards.
There will be no similarity be­tween
those post elections and the
one coming up. At least, there is
no reason to believe otherwise.
You can't call the election a farce,
though. Many good men will turn
up to run "for vacant spots in stu­dent
government. And likewise,
there'll be a few bad apples in the
bunch.
Perhaps it is a good time for the
Ole Bird to' give counsel.
Students need a strong govern­ment.
They need men in student
government posts who have a de­sire
to serve. These men should
have the integrity and the drive
to inculcate a functional and bene­ficial
"modus operundi." A candi­date
should go into this with .eyes
wide open since the chains of gov­ernment
on the campus are so
linked together that any weak­ness
is readily apparent.
The offices of school presidents
have never functioned as they
should. In the past, these spots
have been weak in that their only
function has been centered around j
the Village Fair program. Other'
than this one instance, the school j
officers are seldom heard from.
It is with tremendous hope that
the bird appeals to prospective
school presidents to map a year's
activity which will bring these
posts out of the doldrums.
Candidates To Meet
Board Next Monday
By Tom Duke
Candidates wishing to qualify to run in the campus-wide
elections, Thursday, Oct. 29, must appear before the Student
Board of Election Qualifications Monday night, Oct. 19, ac­cording
to a statement today by Les Ford, superintendent of
political affairs.
'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS'
The board is scheduled to meet
at 7 o'clock in the student gov­ernment
office in the basement
of Samford. Yesterday was the
deadline for filing declarations
of intention.
PRELIMINARY judging for
Miss Homecoming was held in the
Social Center last night. The field
of candidates was narrowed to
five who will compete for the
honor in the election October 29.
The names of the five finalists
were unobtainable at press time.
In making t h e announcement
Ford commented, "The number
of persons submitting declarations
of intention was unusually large,
and I hope that the number will
bring about a renewed interest
in political activity on the cam­pus."
AT PRESS TIME student poli­tical
pundits were stating that the
War Eagle Party is in the process
of reorganization, and that it may
offer at least a partial slate of
candidates for the election. Op­position
to t h e All Campus
Party, which swept most of the
posts last fall, is expected to be
strong in many areas regardless
of the action of the War Eagle
group.
Student government positions
to be filled in the campus-wide
balloting include 18 vacancies for
president and vice-president of
each of API's nine schools, one
junior senator post, and two
freshman senatorships.
AS IS traditional, the two pol­itical
parties are not expected to
back candidates for freshman
senator, and the political ac­tivity
in that race will be on an
individual basis.
The Qualifications B o a r d is
made up of Ford, Arthur Moore,
president of the Student Body;
George Uthlaut, Student Body
vice-president, and Bob Mayo,
president pro tern of the Senate.
Eight API Coeds

Eight of API's most beauti­ful

presented at the annual Omi-cron
Delta Kappa-Glomerata
Beauty Ball scheduled for
November 2 a n d will have

college yearbook.
As announced by Fred Nichols,
Columbiana, editor of the Glom-crata,
and Bob Mayo, Mobile,
president of ODK, the deadline
for nominations of contestants by
fraternities, sororities, dormitor­ies
and other organizations is to­day.
From the group of nominees,
20 semi-finalists will be selected

Social Center Tuesday night.
The eight finalists, whose names
will not be announced until they
are presented at the Beauty Ball,
will be named by a judge to be
selected by members of ODK and
the Glomerata staff.
Chairman of the Beauty Ball
this year is C h i c k Watson,
Brownsville, Tenn., vice-presi­dent
of ODK. Committee chair­men

'Sink Tulane' Rally
Set For Thursday
"Wreck Tech" will be the cry
tomorrow, but "Sink Tulane" will
be the War Eagles' cries next
week. Thursday, night, October 22
at 7:30, all API students are cor­dially
invited to the Pep Rally-
Dance in the Students Activities
Building.
"This will be the first pep rally
and dance we have had in three
weeks, so everyone should be
there and cheering for the Auburn
Tigers," stated Dennis Calhoun,
pep committee chairman.
The pep committee has engaged
the Auburn Knights to play, and
all girls will be given 10:30 p.m.
permission.
Addresses Needed
In an announcement today,
L. O. Brackeen, API News Bu­reau
head, urged all students,
who did hot list their Auburn
addresses during registration, to
f i le their residence and phone
numbers with the News Bureau
in Samford as soon as possible.
PAJAMAS SEEM to be the local fad since the annual "Wreck
Tech" Pajama Parade Wednesday afternoon, and this week's "Love­liest"
appears to be enjoying the new fashion. She is lovely Sylvia
Couey, a sophomore in the department of art from Montgomery.
Prexy Moore Addresses Students
Fellow Students:
I know that all of us arc look­ing
forward with keen anticipa­tion
to this Saturday when the
Auburn Tigers will "Wreck Tech."
The game this year promises to
be one of the best in the nation.
Our coaches and team have
brought nation-wide fame and ad­miration
to our school. It behooves
us, as members of the student
body, to conduct ourselves on a
plane of high sportsmanship and
conduct, whjch will be in keeping
with the greatness of our team.
" I would like to urge each of you
to carry your student activity
books to the ballgame, as Georgia
Tech officials have warned us that
violators will have their books
taken and very probably be sub­jected
to legal action.
I am sure that all of us will
conduct ourselves as true Auburn
men and women. Therefore, let
me urge you to abide by the agree­ments
made by the student leaders
of the Georgia ^ech campus and
the Auburn campus.
I am looking forward to Satur­day.
AUBURN WILL WRECK
TECH!
Very truly yours,
Arthur Moore, Jr.

Plainsmen To Invade
Atlanta For Tech Game
Tech, API Leaders
Urge Continued
Friendly Relations
All students of Georgia
Tech and Auburn who will at­tend
the gridiron contest in
Atlanta tomorrow are strong­ly
urged by leaders of both
institutions to cooperate in an
all-out effort to promote the con­tinuation
of good will and sports-manslike
conduct between the two
schools.
. A contingent of API representa­tives
met with a group of Tech
leaders in Atlanta Monday, Oct.
5, and <drew up a series of recom­mendations.
It was decided that
members of Auburn's Blue Key
and Omicron Delta Kappa and
Tech's Wramblin' Wreck Club
will patrol areas surrounding
Grant Field in order to prevent
incidents which would prove em­barrassing
to either school.
ARTHUR MOORE, president of
the Auburn Student Body, urges
all students to observe the recom­mendations
proposed at the con­ference.
Guest editorials on this
subject by Moore and Bill Ross,
editor of The Technique, are pub­lished
in this issue.
The following precautions were
recommended by the committee:
1. No Auburn or Georgia Tech
student will wear Rat Caps be­fore,
during, or after the game.
2. The two bands and the
Georgia Tech freshmen will re­main
after the game for 15 min­utes
to help avoid confusion.
3. Students are expected to re­frain
from throwing bottles, pro­grams,
or paper cups at any time.
4. Cheers and yells will be only
for the students' team, and not
against the opposing team.
5. Students and Auburn fans are
urged to park between the Georgia
Tech Textile Building and the
Architecture Building.

A 30-game winning streak of the Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets will go on the line tomorrow when Auburn's fighting
Tigers invade Atlanta in the Tigers' third consecutive "SEC
Game of the Week."
The contest will be the fifty-sixth time the two teams have
met. Since the initial game back
Glom Ed Pleads
Glom Editor Fred Nichols
urged students who did not have
their pictures in the 1952 an­nual
to keep their appointments
for Glomerata pictures.
AUBURNITES WILL descend en masse on Atlanta for the annual Auburn-Georgia Tech grid classic tomorrow afternoon. The battle
is expected to draw a sell-out crowd, and consequently the traffic and parking problems are expected to be acute.
Above is a birds-eye view of the home of the Yellow Jackets. In an effort to alleviate the parking and traffic congestion, Tech of­ficials
have requested that Auburn students utilize the parking space in the area marked "9" as far as possible. i
in 1892, Auburn has won 24 games
and Tech 28, with three affairs
ending in a deadlock.
It has been 12 lean years since
the Tigers last beat Tech back
in 1940, but the men from the
Plains appear rea'dy to launch an
all out effort to whip Bobby
Dodd's crew this year. Coach
Shug Jordan summed up the
sentiments of his team when he
stated earlier this week, "We
are going over there to beat
Tech."
Beating Tech will be a feat that
hasn't been accomplished since
back in 1950 when the Engineers
had a 5-6 record. The next season
the Jackets plowed under 11 op­ponents
and knocked off Baylor
University in the Orange Bowl.
Last season Dodd again enjoyed
a perfect season, polishing off
Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl in a
post season game, and so far this
season has three wins and one
Kappa Sigma Wins
Pajama Parade
By JoAnne Lucci
Kappa Sigma fraternity won
the annual "Wreck Tech" Pa­jama
Parade float contest
Wednesday for the second
consecutive y e a r , with Pi
Kappa Alpha placing second
and Delta Chi coming in third.
"It was one of the best 'Wreck
Tech' rallies I've ever seen," was
the comment of Dennis Calhoun,
chairman of student pep commit­tee,
after the Frosh pajama par­ade
here Wednesday afternoon.
The winning Kappa Sigma
float was a train, "the Dodd Ex­press,"
which was being stopped
and held up by train robbers
bearing the names of members of
the API football team. The PiKA
procession featured the funeral of
Tech's coach, and the Delta Chi
theme was a 3-D movie.
CALHOUN announced that the
next pep rally would be Thurs­day
night with t h e Auburn
Knights playing for a pep dance
immediately afterwards. It will
be "Sink Tulane" rally, and wo­men
students will have late per­mission
for the dance, he said.
Auburn Head C o a c h Ralph
"Shug" Jordan took time out
from the practice field to address
the students at the rally follow­ing
the parade.
"I want to thank the students
for the support they have given
the' team in the past. The spirit
has been wonderful, and we hope
it will continue to be good in the
future."
"Tech has a thirty game win­ning
streak, but we have a good
team too, and we're not making
the trip to Atlanta to lose," the
Tiger leader said.
His brief talk was punctuated
by cheers from the students, who I Kilpatrick
gave him a standing ovation as he guards
made his way across the field, center.
tie to his credit.
The Florida Gators almost
turned the trick on a mud soaked
field, but could do no better than
a scoreless deadlock. SMU was
barely edged out the* next week
6-4, but the Engineers got rolling
against a strong Tulane team last
week and raced to a • 27-13
triumph.
THOUGH SLIGHTLY weaker
than last year's eleven, which
stunned Auburn 33-0, Tech st;'1
looks strong enough to be rated
number six in the nation while the
Tigers sit in 19th place nationally.
The Yellow Jackets lost 23 men
to graduation, including A11 -
Americans George M o r r i s and
Bobby Moorhead, but have 31
lettermen returning from an un­defeated
squad.
Heading the list is halfback
Leon Hardeman, a power running
All-American who dealt Jordan's
Plainsmen fits at Grant Field in
1952. The little Tech speedster
has been slow to get started in
this one-platoon football season,
but was a sparkplug in last week's
conquest of Tulane.
Equally destructive is fullback
Glenn Turner, a Talledega, Ala­bama,
boy who has been the
Engineers' leading ground gain­er
this year. Turner ground out
46 yards and scored 15 points
against the Green Wave and
from reports was equally adept
on defense.
Rounding out the Tech back-field
will be scatbacks Bill Teas
or Larry Ruffin and quarterback
Bill Brigman, Pepper Rogers, or
Wade Mitchell.
On the forward wall the Yellow
Jackets will probably have Co-
Captain Sam Hensley and Dave
Davis at ends, Bob Sherman and
Roger Frey at tackles, Frank
Brooks and Orville Vereen at
guards and Larry Morris at center.
Morris, a regular linebacker last
year, and Brooks, an outstanding
sophomore, have been the main­stays
of the Tech line so far this
year.
Auburn will go into the game in
fairly good shape, with only guard
Bob Scarbrough on the doubtful
list.
THOUGH JORDAN veered from
his regular team substitution rou­tine
last Saturday, no change in
the starting lineup is expected
against Tech. Vince Dooley will
probably quarterback the start­ing
eleven of Fob James and
Charlie Littles at halfback, Charles
Hataway at fullback, Vince Nar-done
and Jimmy Long at ends, M.
L. Brackett and Frank D'Agostino
at tackles, George Atkins and Ed
Duncan at guards and Ed Baker
at center.
Bobby Freeman's team will
probably be the same as last
week's with Johnny Adams and
Eobby Duke or Joe Davis at half­backs,
Joe Childress at fullback,
Jim Pyburn and Jim Hall at ends,
George Rogers and Ted Neura at
tackles, Bob Scarbrough or Bill
and Al Brame at
and Jack Locklear at

Mrs. S. E. Bradford
'Miss Bill' Bradford
Is Phi Delt Mother
i By John Raines
JEWELRY
Latest a d d i t i o n to the
housemother staff at Auburn
is the a t t r a c t i v e n ew r u l e r of
t h e roost at the Phi Delta
Theta house. Mrs. S. E. Brad­ford,
known to all the Phi
Delts as "Miss Bill," comes to the
Plains from Bessemer where she
was active in social and church
affairs.
Miss Bill is the name coined
by the Phi Delts as a shorter and
more affectionate n a m e than
William, which is her Christian
name. A Georgian by birth, she
has lived practically all her life
in Alabama.
MRS. BRADFORD points out
that fraternity housemothering is
new to her for the present, but
that she enjoys it in every phase.
She is an interesting conversa­tionalist
as well as a shrewd card
player.
Things have definitely perked
up around the Phi Delt house
since Miss Bill arrived a little
more than two weeks ago; She
can be found around the house
any time of the d a y meeting
guests, conversing w i t h "her
boys" or planning a good meal
for a hungry crew.
A bad cold has plagued Mrs.
Bradford for her first twp weeks
on the campus, but just ask her
to give a "War Eagle" and you
would think that s h e was the
person who originated the war
cry.
Cancer Expert To Speak

A Message from Clarence Andrews, 'Your Pharmacist'
RECENTLY A GENTLEMAN came into our Phar­macy
and asked us to sell him some Penicillin tablets
for a sore throat. We inforrned,*him that since, he had
no prescription, we could not legally or ethically sell
them, and advised him to-consult a physician.
TO OUR SURPRISE, he then presented his cre­dentials
to us as a. Pharmacy Inspector and told us
that, had we sold him Penicillin without a prescrip­tion,
we would have been subject to a fine, besides the
disgrace of being a lawbreaker.
THEN HE INSPECTED OUR PHARMACY. First
he took sealed samples of some of our drugs to be ana­lyzed
for purity. Next he checked a list of medicines
which spoil if not kept in a cool place, and made cer­tain
we had those particular medicines in a refriger­ator.
Then he looked at the dates on medicines which
lose their potency after a certain time.
HE BALANCED OUR PRESCRIPTION SCALES
to make certain they were in good working order,
checked our weights and measuring graduates, and
looked to see if we had the latest editions of the form­ulae
books that regulate the medicines we compound.
TO OUR GREAT PRIDE, he filled out an inspec­tion
report stating that he could find no violations.
We welcome these State Board of Pharmacy inspec­tions,
which come we know not when. They remind
us that Pharmacy is an important and serious pro­fession,
which requires careful regulation, because of
the responsibility we have of helping you to get well,
and keep well.

Bob Lewis Replaces Paul Stewart
As Leader Of Lee County Band
By Red Provost
Masterminding the efforts of the Lee County High School
Band this year is Bob Lewis, a graduate student in psychology
from Savannah, Ga., who has played a trumpet with the
Auburn Knights since 1949. Lewis took over the baton of
Paul Stewart, who had to leave the director's post recently
in order to attend theological
3—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, October 16, 1953
of these and the ten majorettes by gician. The troupe put on i r
spreading them out over the foot-I line shows for about s:x mon-J
ball field to make the aggregation, and then returned to Camp Le
seminary.
Referring to his new job, Lewis
says, "I find it very gratifying to
note the individual and group im­provement
as we progress with
our work. It has been a struggle at
first, since eight of my bandsmen
are also stars on the football team.
That leaves us without four trom­bones,
two trumpets, a french
horn, and a bass. I've had to ele­vate
several second and third chair
men to the solo positions vacated
by the ball players."
Since Lewis attends his API
classes in the morning, he has to
streamline the practice sessions in
order to get everything done in
the afternoon. "To prevent con­flicting
sounds while the individ­ual
players are practicing," Bob
says, "I hide some of them in the
band room, on the porch, behind
bushes, and around corners fro^
each other. Then I run around
among the various instruments
coaching as I go." *
The absence of the ballplayers
leaves the band with only 22
pieces, so Lewis makes the most
appear larger. They appeared
during the half at the LCHS
homecoming game with Phenix
iCity High here last week.
Lewis enlisted in the Army
Engineers in 1943, but was trans­ferred
to Special Services in Ger­many
toward the end of the war
to play with Baron Elliot's band in
the famous "Broadway in Khaki"
show. Featured in the same show
were Herb Shriner and Melbourne
Christoper, the renowned ma-
Va., where it rema'ne.! uniil i' was
deactivated and the members were
discharged.
Bob was discharge' in 1143 aril
played with small jazz bands fo;
about a year. He then went back
to Savannah and held down a job
with the staff band of radio sta­tion
WFRB until he entered Arm
strong College in the spring of
1947. He transferred to APT in
1^49 specifically to play iih Jh<?
Knights.

J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil
Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
"Go bury your head In the land," shrieked Sheedy's chick. You'll never
put a wing on my finger until you start using Wildroot Cream-Oil on
that messy hair. It's America's favorite hair tonic. Keeps hair combed
without any trace of greasiness. Removes goose, ugly
dandruff. Relieves annoying dryness. Helps you pass the
Finger-Nail Test." Paul looked so good the very fuzz
time he used Wildroot Cream-Oil, his pigeon egged him
on until he proposed. So why don't you buy a bottle or
tube today at any toilet goods counter. And necks time
you have a haircut, ask for Wildroot Cream-Oil on your
hair. Then no gal will ever give you the bird.

THAW ANJV OTHER. CIGARETTE I
From "The Technique" Editor LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by pick Bibler
Once more the teams of two of the
South's t o p technical schools, API and
Georgia Tech, are preparing to do battle
on the gridiron. Speaking for the stu­dents
of Georgia Tech, The Technique
takes this opportunity to extend the hand
of friendship to the school w i t h whom
Georgia Tech has so much in common.
We have met before, on t h e playing
field and off. The football results look
pretty good for us: 12 straight wins for us
since 1940, and 28 victories out of 52 games
played. But we have both been losers in
the game of friendship and healthy rela­tions
between schools.
' This year could be the beginning of a
new era in two respects. First, you have
a strong football squad that might very
well turn the tables on the experts who
say we will win. Second, it could just as
easily be the start of a period of cordial,
cooperative relations between us two.
The problem is that we are both highly
spirited and very proud of our schools as
well as our football teams. Too often in
the past our spirit h a s degenerated to
rowdiness and our pride has become arro­gance,
with the result that we grew in
mutual distrust.
Let's keep our spirit where it belongs:
in support of our own schools. You yell
"War Eagle!"; we'll yell "Yella Jackets!"
When you come o v e r to Atlanta to
watch the game, you'll be treated like the
guests you are. In return, we ask only
that you be good guests. Oh yes, be sure
and bring some co-ed cheer leaders; we
like them. Our female enrollment num­bers
only seven.—Bill Ross, Editor The
Technique.
Spirit Is What You Make Of It
There is an old saying that states, "if
you go looking for trouble, you're going to
find it." It's a fairly good indication of
what to expect if you don't hold a tight
rein on spirited horses. Auburn has the
the spirit this year—a spirit which can't
be touched nor tampered with. However,
if it is allowed to jump the barrier into a
new channel, it becomes a dangerous spirit.
That was noticeable in the game with
Mississippi State at Starkville. In a way,
Auburn students were at fault for part of.
the bad publicity. All it took was for that
one person.to step towards the goal posts.
It happened, and as a result touched off a
powder keg. Reason was thrown to the
winds. A faint spark ignited the powder
keg of frenzy with explosive force.
Spirit was demonstrated back here at
Auburn when the news was released that
a fiery Tiger team tied a potent Mississippi
State. A few instances revealed that the
spirit of some became an unreasonable
driving force which waylaid mature think­ing.
And spirit is still high on the Plains.
By tomorrow it will be at fever-pitch, and
who can blame the Auburns? Spirit is
fine—it's wonderful—it helps to make Au­burn
tick—the right kind of spirit that is.
A great Tiger team will journey to
Atlanta today in preparation for a fierce
contest with the Yellow Jackets. Team
spirit is at a new high, but along with it
is coupled a determination to play the
game in a sportsmanlike manner. They
plan to do honorable battle.
It would be significant if the Auburn
student body would make doubly sure that
their spirit is a reflection of the honorable
intent of Auburn's grid men. All it would
take is a little will power to quench the
rising tides of immaturity.
There could very well be two battles
in Atlanta tomorrow. One will be fought
on Grant Field. That one is certain to take
place. The other battle is indefinite.. It
depends on the Auburn student body.
They must fight the desire to be rowdy.
If that battle occurs, there will be two
magnificent contests.
Let Atlanta vibrate with "War Eagles"
this Saturday. "Wreck Tech," but do not
wreck the clean spirit of Auburn.
Moore Comments On State Game
Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to
witness a good Mississippi State team tie
a great Auburn team. The game was an
excellent athletic contest and was played
to the utmost by the players on opposing
teams. However, the display of unsports­manlike
conduct by members of both stu­dent
bodies jafter the game was very dis­heartening.
. I know that all of us were
quite proud and very well pleased by the
fine playing of our team. The conduct of
some of our^ students was very definitely
not in harmony with the entire student
body.
The aftermath of this contest almost
turned into a riot. It has been reported
that several cars were seriously damaged,
several people were severely hurt, and the
general conduct was very poor. I do not
intend to put a damper on this great Au­burn
spirit of ours, but I very definitely
think we should refrain from any action
to property and individuals. As we ap­proach
this coming football weekend, let
the cry of War Eagle! and Wreck Tech!
be heard through the entire state of Geor­gia,
but let us confine our activities and
high spirit to t h o s e actions which will
bring high praise and glory to Auburn.—
Arthur Moore, President Student Body.
Ike's Boys Seemed Confused
It would appear that considerable con­fusion
exists in the Eisenhower official
family over the security status. The more
officials give out statements, the greater
the divergence of opinion. And even the
President himself seems unable to set the
pattern for, if not the course of, his trusted
aides.
Hardly had the echo d i e d on Eisen­hower's
solemn warning of the danger of
the use by the enemy of the nuclear wea­pons
when Secretary of Defense Charles
E. Wilson issued the most reassuring state­ment
Americans have heard in years.
Wilson said it "is stretching a bit" to say
the Russians h a v e a hydrogen bomb
"ready to drop and planes ready to drop
them." The Secretary added that he be­lieved
"the Russians are three or four
years back of us" in atomic weapons deve­lopment.
That would seem to mean that Wilson
does not fear an attack for some years yet.
Not so ominous as the warning of the
President.
And then along comes Mobilization Di­rector
Arthur S. Fleming, in an official re­port
over the weekend, in part as follows:
"Soviet Russia is capable of delivering
suddenly and without warning the most
•destructive weapon ever devised by man
on chosen targets in the United States."
Now, what do you think; are we or are
we not—faced with immediate danger?—

'And now the chairman of (the judging committee to intro­duce

By Les Ford
Thus far our fortune keeps an
upward course and we are grac'd
with wreaths of victory.—Shake­speare
Spirits and feelings always run
high at the annual Auburn-
Georgia Tech grid classic. This
year, with both institutions al­ready
primed to the explosion
point, Auburnites and Techmen
are going to have to be on their
toes to prevent an incident which
might bring discredit to their alma
maters.
Several years
ago the classic
e n d e d in a
brawl and con­sequently,
t he
a n n u a l game
was almost dis­continued.
Since
that time, to
prevent recur­rences
of simi-
1 a r incidents,
t h e s t u d e nt
leaders of both
schools have met before each game
to formulate policies and rules by
BiMSpsS
which the students of both insti­tutions
are governed during the
game.
The only way that the formu­lated
rules and regulations can
produce good results is for them
to receive the full cooperation of
the respective students. One un­thinking
student could throw a
wrench in the whole affair, and in
so doing, might conceivably bring
an end to the annual classic.
After the many poor seasons, this
columnist would imagine that a
discontinuance of the series might
deal a lethal blow to Auburn's
athletic finances. The classic an­nually
is one of Auburn's biggest
profit games, and even though
Tech repeatedly allots poor seats
to Auburnites, the athletic as­sociation
would be at a great l&ss
if it were to lose the source of in­come.
This fact should be firmly im­planted
in the minds of those who
make the trip to "Hotlanta" this
weekend. For there may be times
that they will need to "grit their
teeth" and think twice to prevent
discredit to Auburn.
While on the subject of the un­fortunate
incidents that arise out
of lack of thought coupled with
football fever, it might be well to
mention the evils of "paint."
For many years the student body
has been paying for damages in­curred
through the thoughtless
splashing of the brush by a few
within the ranks. Just last year,
the contingent fund (into which
undergraduate students pay each
quarter) was hit for $250 painting
damages done to a train by
thoughtless students <who simply
dipped a mop in a can of orange
paint and then held it out as the
train came by.
It is rumored that damages, in­curred
during the car painting
spree after the game last weekend,
will be charged.
ft According to Student Body
President Arth«r Moore, the only
legal "painting" that can be done
is that supervised by the Pep
Committee. Moore added that in
the future "painting activities"
would bring disciplinary action.

Special Notice Given Club 22
By Herb White
The Sign Post
Columnist Offers New Ticket Sales Policy
By Red Provost
We offer, this week, special
notice to a new club at API, known
as the 22 Club. This organization
is an all male outfit and is divided
into two equal parts, called X and
Y.
To better acquaint the readers
with this club, we'd better go back
several weeks to September 25,
for that is the
day that the or­ganization
had
its first meet­ing.
At t h at
meeting all 22
members were
present. During
this first get-t
o g e t h e r the
members voted
to give $47 to a
small school in central Florida for
much needed repairs. After spend­ing
about two hours in these
friendly surroundings, the club
decided to adjourn until the fol­lowing
week.
On October 3 the group met
again, and this time was only able
to muster $13 for a needy insti­tution.
The money was finally giv­en
to a school out in Mississippi.
For this generous gift the club
received national acclaim, and the
organization's advisor was named
"U.S. Advisor .of the Week." The
president of the club was given a
local "President of the Week"
award.
White
The 22 Club had its third meet­ing
of the year last Saturday. This
time the treasury was empty and
nothing was given away, but the
group's fans were so proud of its
fine record that a tremendous ral­ly
was held in its honor. At this
meeting the club decided to adopt
a song. After much deliberation it
was decided that "Give a Little
and Take a Little" would be a
good song for the purpose. Again
that week the club was given na­tional
acclaim.
Tomorrow, in Atlanta, the 22
Club meets again. This time we
feel that there is money in the
treasury, for we believe that with
about one more donation the group
will be riding too high to be touch­ed.
Reports are that this will be
an open meeting, and the public
is invited.
Now, it seems to us, that this
new club is one of the most worth­while
and outstanding organiza-,,
tions at API, and should have the,"*
undivided support of every true |
Auburn student. It's not too often
that this ole school comes up with
a club such as this one.
Old timers say that there was a
time when groups of this kind
were numerous around here, but
the old folks are just about the
only ones that can remember
those days. For our money this j
new 22 Club is the best of its
kind anywhere.
Among the numerous gripes in
circulation concerning student act
book policies, there are at least
two which seem to have pretty
legitimate foundations.
First of all, I know of several
students who have lost their books.
Under the present regulation, it is
impossible to replace the books
and the unfortunate students will
be unable to lend their support to
any of the Tigers' efforts for the
rest of the season without buying
tickets at astronomical outside
prices.
It will be argued that the stu­dents
in question should have
been more careful, and that the
rule against renewal serves as a
good deterrent against widespread
carelessness. This is obviously
true, but it is only human to mis­place
things, and carelessness
would be sufficiently discouraged
if the student were required to
pay a substantial fee in order to
get another book.
The student's name and the
number of the lost book could be
put on a blacklist to be posted in
the ticket booths, thus preventing
the illegal use of the book by the
finder. Incidentally, it's hard for
me to see why the owner of a book
is held responsible for such use.
Many students also object to
having to pay the full price for
tickets to be used by their dates
who are not enrolled at API. For
example, anyone wanting to re­serve
seats for himself and his
non-student date at the Auburn-
Tech game had to pay $4.30 for
the girl's ticket. (In the end zone,
no less. See below). It's under­standable
that student rates are
not charged for the latter, but a
considerable reduction would not
be unreasonable.
Indiscriminate use of the tickets
could be avoided by limiting each
male student to a maximum of
one "date ticket" per game. The
word "date" could be stamped on
the ticket, thus making it useless
to any male or any girl not ac­companied
by a student. Such a
policy would remove much of the
temptation to avoid the high
prices by using the book of a stu­dent
who does not plan to attend
the game. Of course, all this
would have to be worked out be­tween
the schools, but I can't see
any reason why it shouldn't be.
!k * *
Why in the name of Bobby
Dodd can't we get anything but
end zone seats??!! Let's retaliate
by drowning out the P.A. system
with War Eagles.

We heard that things were really
jumping around Tiger Town after
the game Saturday. We don't know
whose idea it was to have a pep
meeting behind Samford Hall', but
it was a good one from all reports.
Meanwhile, we Auburnites who
made the trip to Starkville were
doing more than a little celebrat­ing
ourselves. Those State goal
posts were still standing when we
left the stadium' about an hour
after the end of the game, but they
sure were shakey. .
Everyone was certainly glad to
see the Auburn Honor Band march
in. A band is almost a necessity to
liven up a football game, and since
the whole band couldn't come, the
honor unit was a welcome sight.
It did a fine job, too, both during
and after the game.
The cheerleaders had quite a'
task, since the Auburn cheering
section was divided into two parts,
but they came through admirably.
Some of t he
c h e e r 1 eaders
came up into
the top of the
stands w h e re
the upper group
of Tiger rooters
w e r e located,
and J e a n n i e
Dudley stuck it
out up there
with us for the
r e s t of t he
Lucci game.
As for the students themselves,
they seemed to be behind the team
all the way. If those Tigers ever
-had a spirited, rooting, tooting
bunch of fans pulling for them,
they had them pulling Saturday.
And then the Tigers tied it up. All
heck broke loose in the stands in
those last few minutes, and a good
time was had by all.
* * *
We noticed that Tech won its
thirtieth game without a defeat
last weekend. In newspaper jar­gon,
the number "30" means "The
End." Could that be a good omen
for the Plainsmen? We think so.
. . . We think the Tigers will write
"30" to Tech's winning streak this
weekend in Atlanta. It's been a
long time since Auburn has
"Wrecked Tech," but the Tiger is
sabre-toothed these days.

Dear Fellow Freshmen,
Could you define the "Spirit of
Auburn?" The odds would • be
against you if you tried. The
Spirit of Auburn is something that
cannot be defined, only experi­enced.
No one can really under­stand
this spirit unless he has been
a part of it. We were first intro­duced
to this spirit when we no­ticed
that everyone spoke to
everyone else at Auburn. Gradu­ally
we learned about the tradi­tions
that have been proudly up­held
for nearly a century. We
walk around the main gate until
we earn the right of an upper-classman
to go through it. We
nearly burst with pride as we hear
a sound like thunder and see
thousands of students join with
us in yelling "War Eagle!" until
we are hoarse and can hardly talk.
Last Saturday we saw and
heard one of the greatest examples
of the spirit of Auburn when Miss.
.State was whipped 21-21 by a
never-say-die Plainsman team.
The spirit did not die when we
were on the short end of a 21-0
score late in the third quarter, but
grew stronger and more determ­ined
than ever to win.
' (Continued on page 5)
Profanity was audible in the
cloistered halls of Samford and
Ramsay recently when some stu­dents
were ejected for, of all
things, studying. Of course, it was
late at night when the incident
happened but it pointed out a
problem that has long plagued
many conscientious students at
Auburn, and t h a t is finding a
place to study at night.
Since the library closes as soon
as the moon comes up, many stu­dents
have been in the habit of
studying in^ Ramsay and Samford,
often until the wee hours of the
morning. But beginning this quar­ter,
the night watchmen started
closing the doors of these build­ings
at eleven o'clock.
One student who was forced to
leave Ramsay stated that his room
did not have a desk and that he
could not find one that did because
of the current housing shortage.
Another student commented that
he could not study in his room be­cause
of the excessive noise there,
and that he was handicapped by
the closing of Ramsay and Sam­ford
at night.
As there are many students who
don't possess eidetic memory and
are forced to study during the late
evenings, I would suggest to th%
administration that several rooms
be left open at night in Ramsay
for those conscientious students
who otherwise would be handi­capped
in finding a place to study.
This proposed plan could operate
until the new student activities
building is completed, which I
understand will have a study
lounge.
* * *
One of the joys of being a
pharmaqy student is that you are
allowed the privilege of dissecting
various animals, both dead and
living. Last week, I worked on my
first patient, a live frog, whom I
soon divested of skin, utilizing
my own inimitable dissecting tech­nique.
The purpose of the whole affair
was to test the effectiveness of
certain stimulants against strych­nine.
You should have seen- the
poor frog as he went into the
characteristic c o n v u l s i o n s of
strychnine poisoning, which is a
most undesirable way of dying, as
it takes from ten to sixty minutes
to cross into the veil where "fun­eral
knells are never rung."
On an adjoining table, another
class was performing an operation
on a rabbit. It was a sad case. The
patient never came out of the
ether. The cardiographic record of
the deceased's heart beat showed
a steadily falling line. Suddenly
the line was straight—the rabbit
was dead!
In one sense, it is regrettable
that these animals have to die, for
life is all important, even to a rat;
nevertheless, thousands of animals
give their lives on the API campus
each year for the advancement of
science.
* * *
Unfortunately, there are those
students who misinterpret the Au­burn
Spirit as a lack of inhibitions.
This was demonstrated Saturday
night when the jubilant feelings
instilled by the bout with State
were still running high. It seems
that smearing paint to these un­couth
few is an admirable mani­festation
of Auburn's Spirit.
Granted that expressions of
one's feelings towards his school
is an admirable thing, it can hard­ly
be argued that stopping every
car coming through town and
painting the windshields and
fenders with . paint is something
that an out-of-state tourist or
visitor is likely to appreciate. The
same thing can be said of the fis*t
fights that took place after the
game. The people of Starkville
will probably have a very low
opinion of Auburn for some time '
to come, and it all is really un­necessary.

We as freshmen should be proud
of the privilege of carrying on the
time-honored traditions. Our Rat
Caps are but one link in a chain
of these traditions which have
been carried on by Auburn men
and women through many happy
years. Let's accept the challenge
and wear our Rat Caps proudly
and help in our own way to make
the spirit of Auburn grow ever
stronger.
A RAT
(Name withheld on request)
Dear fellow Auburn students:
We would like to take this op­portunity
to thank you for your
wonderful cooperation in making
the first Hey-Day possible. We
know that only here on the Love­liest
Village could such a spon­taneous
spirit be found. It thrills
us to know that we belong, also,
to the school in which this extra,
undefinable something is present.
All too often, however, we feel
that this "Auburnism" is taken for
granted. This is why now we want
to ask each and every one of you
to go a bit extra and make every
day a Hey-Day. For certainly this
informality and friendliness is a
vital part of our way.of life here.
So with a merry "hey-hey," we
say thank you again.
API's Revered Customs, Traditions
Add Individuality To Institution
By War Eagle
"Once an Auburn man always an Auburn man," though
trite it may sound, continues to be a mark of distinction for
this institution. Wherever you go, practically everyone has
heard of Auburn.
The reasons for this fame is due in part to the customs
and traditions, though few as
those found in the average col­lege
of comparable size, which
have been nurtured through the
years and passed on from student
to student.
MUCH HAS b e e n said and
written about Auburn's indomi­table
spirit. It has become a far-flung
brotherhood embracing all
men who have called Auburn
their home. Perhaps the richest
of all traditions and heritages,
API's spirit serves as the founda­tion
for the school's individuality.
No one knows exactly what
causes this surge of spirit. The
most outward manifestation of
the spiritual alliance is the re­nowned
battle cry, "War Eagle."
Tales of the origin of this tra-

dition are varied, but the com­pelling
words will be heard
wherever Auburn men gather.
On the other hand, some claim
that the spirit at- Auburn is due
to the air of friendliness which
pervades the campus. A formal
i n t r o d u c t i o n is unnecessary;
everybody speaks to everybody.
ONE OF the' most talked about
traditions is that of the Lathe.
Located .next to Samford Hall,
the huge machine was used to
manufacture arms. for the Con­federacy
during the War between
the States and was later retired
to its present location. It has be­come
a distinct landmark on cam­pus.
Near the Lathe is another land­mark,
the petrified stump. The
t r u e . story of its origin' is un­known
b u t it allegedly w as
brought to the campus as a gift
to a daughter of one of the col­lege's
presidents.
A custom which applies to all
incoming f r e s h m e n centers
around the Main Gate. Since the
day it was constructed, no fresh­man
has legally trespassed its
width. In order tb accommodate
Auburn's "yearlings," a s p h a l t
sidewalks have been constructed
on either side. An A-Club paddle
awaits the first-year man who
disregards this custom.
ONE OF the big days of the fall
quarter is Homecoming. Spon­sored
by Blue Key, national ser­vice
honorary, the celebration re­calls
alumni for nostalgic re­unions.
Fraternities a n d sororit­ies
decorate for the weekend. A
special dance is held and a Home­coming
queen is chosen to reign
at the football game.
All freshmen, sleepy or other­wise,
are required to don their
most colorful sleeping apparel for
participation in t h e "Wreck
Tech" Pajama Parade which is
held every year in conjunction
with the pep rally preceding the
Auburn-Ga. Tech football classic.

shout encouragement to the Tig­ers

Five Textile Groups
Set Up Scholarships
Five Alabama, Georgia, a nd
Louisiana textile manufacturing
companies last week announced
plans for providing 51 scholarships
:o students studying textiles at
\labama Polytechnic Institute.
Of the 51 scholarships, 27 will
be provided by t h e West Point
Manufacturing Co. of the Valley,
Columbus, Ga., and LaGrange, Ga.;
20 by Avondale Mills, Birming­ham;
two by Huntsville Manufac­turing
Co., Huntsville; one by the
Lane Cotton Mills of New Orleans,
La., and one by the Swift Manu­facturing
Co., Columbus, Ga.
HALF OF those to study under
the West Point plan and the four
from Huntsville, the Lane Mills,
and Swift entered Auburn this
week. The first five to study under
the Avondale plan will enter in
the Fall of 1954.
The West Point scholarships will
provide $250 per quarter to each
student during his stay at API to
defray expenses of tuition, books,
and maintenance, with an addi­tional
allowance for transporta­tion.
The Avondale plan will award
five scholarships annually to qual­ified
students who are entering
their first year of instruction in
textile technology during the fall
quarter 1954, and each subsequent
fall quarter while the plan is in
effect. Each scholarship is to be
for four scholastic years.
CONTESTANTS for the Avon-dale
awards must have graduated
from the high schools of the several
Avondale Mills communities or t%
employees or children of em­ployees
of Avondale Mills.
which has become a custom on
the Plains is the annual Wilbur

Plainsmen Stage Storybook Finssh
In Deadlock With Mississippi State
A dejected crowd of Mississippi State fans filed out of the
exits of Scott Field with unbelief written in the dreary lines
of their faces, but knowing full well that the ball game they
had just seen was real. They might well have wished they
were dreaming, for the big scoreboard, which 30 minutes be­fore
had shown Statq 21, Auburn 0, now read 21-21. What a
few minutes before had seemed like a sure Maroon win had
been replaced by a moral victory for "Shug" Jordan's fighting
Tigers.
You might call it a storybook finish, the kind in which Ozark
Ike is sure to be a hero. It was certainly
the kind of ending one is privileged to see
only once in a great while. Few teams have
the guts, drive and determination it takes
to come from 21 points behind and tie
up a ball game in 10 playing minutes. Au­burn
is this kind of team!
The Tigers looked ragged for two and a
half quarters. Jackie Parker, Mississippi
State's fine quarterback, directed the Ma­roons
to a touchdown within four minutes
after they received the opening kickoff,
George Suda scoring from the one and Parker
kicking the point. State's next score was a
gift. When Bobby Freeman and Bobby Duke
Owen failed to get together on a pitchout, the Ma­roons
fell on the ball and two plays later scored. Things didn't look
good when the half ended. ' '
State made it 21-0 soon after the third quarter got underway, but it
took two tries for them to push the ball across. Auburn put on a
magnificent goal line stand, took possession of the ball and punted
out to the Maroons' 38 yard line. This time Parker was not to be
stopped and he added seven more points to his total and put the State
eleven ahead 21-0.
Then lightning—Auburn fans nearly went wild when Bobby
Duke, sprained ankle and all, waltzed 100 yards for the Tigers'
first score. Joe Davis added the point and there came a faint
glimmer of hope.
The Tigers launched three drives for the Maroon goal line but all
fell short and time was beginning to get scarce. There were eight
minutes of playing time left when George Atkins, right guard, broke
through the State line and threw himself in front of Parker's punt,
knocking the ball back to the Maroon 15. While Atkins and Parker
wrestled, the ball rolled free and Jim Pyburn picked it up and stepped
across the goal line. (It was later learned that Atkins was playing, at
his own request, despite a badly cut lip—and that the scrappy guard
disregarded the punt return play Ed Baker had called and blocked
the attempted punt on his own hook.)
Bill Burbank, in at quarterback, got the nod for the extra
point try since Joe Davis could not come into the ball game. Bur-
, bank, not a specialist in that department, came through with the
pressure on and sent the ball squarely between the uprights. Score
was now 21-14 in favor of the Maroons and Tiger fans began
saying silent prayers.
In those last few hectic minutes it was Freeman throwing and
Pyburn catching. With third- down and eight, Freeman threw 23
yards to Pyburn, who went up between two men to gather in the
aerial. Two plays failed, then Freeman spun out and ran to his
left, stopped and fired one to Pyburn down in the corner of the.
Held. The lanky end gathered it in and was immediately hit down on
the four. Three plays failed and the Tigers broke huddle with 15
seconds left to play. In a do or die maneuver, Freeman faded to pass,
saw a hole, lowered his head and took off. He was hit on the two but
sailed well into the end zone for the score.
The scene was set for Joe Davis, the boy who won the Florida-
Auburn game of 1951 with a perfect kick (remember?) and the Au-burn-
Clemson game last year with a 20-yard field goal.
"Shug" Jordan says Joe has ice water in his veins. He must,
for with pressure on him, the senior quarterback booted the ball
squarely between the uprights and Auburn had a tie ball game.
Back in Auburn ,it was no surprise to learn that the Tigers were,
for the second consecutive week, the Southeastern Conference "Team
' of the Week." There's a feeling on the campus that Jordan's men are
going to be the team of the year even though the roughest is yet to
come.
Jim Pyburn, sophomore end, also tied with Kentucky's Steve Meil-inger
for SEC "Player of the Week." Pyburn, a sticky fingered of­fensive
threat and a defensive standout, has yet to start a game with
the varsity. Though not second string by any means, the talented
sophomore finds himself on the Freeman team which goes in to re­place
the starting eleven, quartcrbacked by Vince Dooley, after the
first quarter is about 10 minutes old.
Auburn-Tech Top SEC Attraction
Auburn beat Georgia Tech back in 1940. Since that time the Tigers
have been helpless in Grant Field, always finding the Engineers either
too keyed up or just too good for them to master.
This year the setting is the same as it has been in years past
. . . except for one thing. In the past, Auburn has just been pretty
good or deeply inspired while Tech has always been darn good,
and usually, inspired. The same is expected of the Yellow Jackets
tomorrow. Something about Auburn should be different because
this year finds the Tigers darn good themselves and with no end
of inspiration.
Ed (Atlanta Journal) Danforth says, " . . . If War Eagle is a battle
cry that tags Auburn with a hot poker, War Eagle also is a tonic for
Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets in recent years have played their
best against Auburn."
That's what makes this contest the top game in the SEC. Nobody
doubts the strength of the Tech squad, least of all Shug Jordan. But
the Plainsmen are conceding nothing, as was evidenced in last week's
battle. The top team in the conference for the past two weeks will be
out for blood.

Pyburn's Performance Against State
Earns Laurels Of Week In SEC
By Bill Hutto
"Freeman takes the ball^from center, fades back to pass,
and throws downfield where Pyburn garners it in for a 26
yard gain."
The gentleman on the receiving end of this aerial and
many others since the 1953 season started is Jim Pyburn, the
good-natured Birmingham sopho
more, who received his scholastic
grid tutoring at Ensley High
School. The sticky-fingered, six-fbot,
180-pound end is majoring in
education and wants to coach
when he finishes his tour of duty
on the Plains.
PYBURN WAS one of the major
factors in Auburn's mighty come­back
in tying Mississippi State

third team this year that Pyburn
has caused to acquire headaches.
Against Stetson in the season's
curtain-raiser he pulled in two
tosses for touchdowns, and in the
Ole Miss contest he caught several
for sizeable gains.
His total receiving and scoring
data thus far this year is ten
passes caught for 180 yards and
three touchdowns.
AS A result of his outstanding
performance against State, Py-l
burn tied Kentucky's Steve Meil-inger
for honors as the SEC's
Player of the Week.
When Pyburn came to Auburn,
he had been already oriented as
to what went on in Tigertown by
his older brother, Ralph, who
captained the 1949 edition of the
Tigers. The younger Pyburn states
that he always wanted to play at
Auburn.
The rangy end won several hon­ors
during his high school career,
some athletic and some scholastic.
In 1950 he was named to The Mag­ic
City's mythical All-City grid
squad, and was presented a scho­lastic-
athletic award by the En­sley
Civitans the same year.
He also played on Ensley's un­defeated
basketball, team in 1950.

Auburn's second tally of the after­noon.

Baby Bamans Bump Auburn Frosh
By Bill Hutto
Alabama's Baby Elephants took an early lead and turned
back a game Auburn Frosh team 27-14 Monday at Cliff Hare
Stadium before approximately 2,000 partisan Tiger followers.
The fracas was opened with the Tide kicking off to Au­burn.
The Tigers' possession of the pigskin was short-lived,
however, as Bama tackle Fred
Sington, Jr., fell on an Auburn
fumble in the end zone for a T.D.
Sington, son of the ex-Alabama
Ail-American, added the point
and it was the Little Crimsons 7;
Auburn 0.
Auburn received the kickoff and
throughout the rest of the initial
period the ball changed hands, but
to no avail and the quarter ended
with the Capstoners out -front 7-0.
WITH THE second quarter only
two minutes old, Alabama quar­terback
Ollie Yates streaked across
the Tigers' double stripe for the
second Alabama tally. He also
added the point from placement.
Alabama 14; Cubs 0.
At this point Auburn's Pat
Meagher and Jim Walsh led the
Tigers on an offensive thrust
which was climaxed by a Meagher
touchdown run. Sam Hardin faked
the placement and passed to Jerry
Samsom for the extra point, and
it was Bama 14; Auburn 7.
After receiving the kickoff, the
Crimson Tide took possession of
the ball but lost it on a fumble.
It was recovered by Auburn's Dick

Lorendo, Plainsman End Coach
Is Also Housemother Extraordinary
By Richard Mills
When coaching laurels are being passed out on the Plains
don't overlook the moulder of the finest four ends in the con­ference,
Gene Lorendo, the hustling housemother of Graves
Center.
Coach Lorendo's amiability makes him a natural for his
unique position. After his coach

ing chores are pver he is "guard­ian
angel" over the footballers
of Graves Center, in addition to
his wife and two young sons.
Lorendo is the only coach that
actually lives in the Center.
THE FRIENDLY cigar-smok­ing
French-Canadian spent his
undergraduate days playing for
ing his freshman year. Although
a football and basketball great,
while at Georgia, Lorendo is
quick to add, "there is no Bull-dog
in me now."
Before arriving on the Plains,
Lorendo spent one year at Pres­byterian
College, in Clinton, S.C.,
as football and basketball coach.
He came to Auburn in 1951 with
Coach Jordan in the capacity of
end coach.
Under the a b l e tutoring of
Lorendo, Auburn's ends, touted to
be the team weak spot, have de­veloped
into the "finest four in
the conference," according to Lo­rendo.
When questioned about
Pyburn's performance a g a i n st
State he added, "Pyburn is the
greatest coTnpetitor I've e v er
seen." In fact, all Lorendo would
talk about was the outstanding
performance turned in by his
ends.

Amazing Tigers' Stunning Finish Ties State 21-21
Duke's Sparkling Return of Kickoff
For TD Sparks Tigers in Comeback
By Ronald Owen
Bobby Freeman smashed into the eijd zone as time ran
out, Joe Davis added an extra point and an inspired come­back
was completed as Auburn fought to a 21-21 tie with
Mississippi State last Saturday.
Trailing 21-0 midway in the third quarter, the Tigers
caught fire when Bobby Dukr
took a Jackie Parker kickoff or
the goal line and sped 100 yard;
for a touchdown behind beauti­ful
blocking. Davis kicked true
to narrow the margin to 14 points

guard George Atkins, playing
with a badly cut l i p , broke
through the State defense and
blocked Parker's attempted kick,

'World's Greatest Reporter' Speaks
In Praise Of Atkins' Use Of Noggin
Graves Center, Alabama
October 15, 1953
Mr. Ronald Owen
Sports Editor, The Plainsman
Auburn, Alabama
Dear Chief,
Leave us have no more disparaging (unkind, to you, chief)
remarks as to the intelligence quotient of football linemen.
For your old daddy, during the course of his Odessus-like (or
is it Iliad-like?) wanderings, has come upon a shining ex­ample
of using the old noggin—and that by a guard on the
Auburn football team.
The other day I was under tine
training table out here at the
Graves Center dining hall making
my repast off crumbs which fell,
off the table, when I overhead
some information which I thought
would be of interest to even
someone of your limited mental­ity.
It concerned one George At­kins,
who is a senior guard from
Birmingham and who is my nom­ination
for "Football player most
likely to make Phi Beta Kappa."
IT SEEMS that in the last
quarter of l a s t week's game
against Mississippi State, our
football team somehow got be­hind
21-7. At one point in this
quarter, we held State three
downs and Parker was punting
from his own 40. On this play,
Atkins was supposed to drop heck
and block for Jame's return, jiut
he had seen a weak point in ttieir
line, and so before . the punting
play, told Ed Duncan, "I'm gonna
crash this time—I believe I can
block that punt."
To be original, chief, the rest
is history. Atkins s t o m p ed
through the middle of the Miss-ippi
line like Man-O'-War mak­ing
his turn into the stretch,
leaped into the air like he was
trying to hitch his wagon to a
star, and batted that punt right
back down Mr. Parker's highly
publicized throat. Parker made a
dive for the ball, but Atkins was
too quick for him again, and hit
it away from him with his fist.
About this time a gent named Jim
Pyburn happened along, picked
up the oval, and scored a touch­down.
Fabulous, huh chief?
Having gleaned all this info
while I lunched, I departed from
Graves Center and went in search
of further facts concerning At­kins.
I found that he got his start­ing
assignment early last year
when Foy Thompson was injur­ed.
George took over Thompson's
offensive guard position and im­proved
every game.
When the rules change went
into effect, all the Field House
prognosticators and drug store
quarterbacks wondered if George
could play defense. He showed
'em he could play it with the best
of them! Early season injuries
plagued him this fall, but like I
said before, he's been quite a ball
player lately, quite a ball player.
I EVEN went over and talked
to guy, chief. I expected to find
Him maybe lifting a few thousand
•pounds around to keep in shape,
buti you know what he was do­ing?
He was making one of the
best looking table lamps you'll
ever see. It was a real slick job
—made of a cypress root. George
is the typical football type—
strong and silent. He's a very Sice
guy, but about as communicative
as a signpost. I did find out that
he goes in for water skiing in a
big way, and goes quite steadily
with Miss Leah Marie Rawls, who
is the current National and World
Champion women water skier.
WELL, CHIEF, I know you're
dying to get this hot scoop into
print, so I'll take my leave of you.
Next time you want the inside
stuff, just call on me. Until that
time, I remain modestly, the
world's greatest reporter,
"Tiger" Square
Oops, Wrong Number!
A college student decided to tidd several new shirts to his
wardrobe. So one Saturday afternoon, he strolled into the
local haberdashery store. "Let me see a few of those Van
Heuscn Pan-Am Pique Shirts the whole campus is raving
about," he said.
"No wonder everyone is raving about Pan-Am Piques,"
said the clerk, laying several on the counter. "They're smart,
comfortable, and come in Van Heuscn's sensational new short
collar styles. What's more, I have a complete line of smart
new collegiate colors—as well as white. And they're only $3.95."
1 "I've never seen a smarter shirt," admitted the student. "I'll
take one in each color. And can I open a charge account?"
"Certainly," replied the clerk. "What is your name?"
"Size Six-and-Seven-Eighths Jones," replied the student.
"Size Six-and-Seven-Eighths Jones? What kind of a name
is that?", asked the puzzled clerk.
"Well, when I was born my folks didn't know what to call
me," he explained. "So they put a lot of names in a hat, and
by mistake my near-sighted father pulled out the size ticket!"

Over Auburn Frosh

Hammonds on the Tide 45 yard
line.
AFTER A series of plays, the
Tigers caught "fumbleitis" and
the Tuscaloosans took over. With
three minutes left in the first half,
Yates hit Cassidy in the end zone
for another Alabama T.D. Sing-ton's
attempt was again good and
the score was 21-7.
Walsh and Meagher continued
to spearhead the Tiger offensive
as they teamed up with Hardin to
move the leather. ^
The first half was climaxed with
a 25-yard field goal, the first of
two by the Tide's heavy artillery,
Sington, who played stellar ball
all afternoon. The scoreboard read
24-7 at hall'time in favor of Ala­bama.
Immediately a f t e r receiving
Sington's kickoff, Jim Shelton
went 14 yards for an Auburn first
down, but another one of the
game's many fumbles caused the
ball to land in enemy hands. Sing-ton's
talented toe soon sent the
pigskin sailing through the up­rights
to bring the curtain down
on Alabama's scoring for the
afternoon.
THE THIRD stanza ended with
Auburn recovering a Tide fumble
on the Bama 36 yard line. Tide
27; Tigers 7.
The Tigers broke into the scor­ing
column again after the final
quarter was one and one-half
minutes old. The scoring play was
an 18-yard pass from quarterback
Don Stevens to John Whatley.
Stevens added the point from
placement arid the scoring was
completed.
Stevens came out of the game
with a bleeding nose in the fourth
quarter, after he had teamed up
with tackle Jimmy Strain to give
the Tigers a potent defensive boost
throughout the second half.

'Ramblin' Wreck/ Yellow Jacket Last
As Permanent Tech Traditions
The "Ramblin' Wreck" and t h e Yellow J a c k e t s survive as
t h e only t r u l y permanent traditions of Georgia Tech. Both
came into existence in the early days of the school, in the
1890's. Now, over a half century later, they are shrouded in
obscurity and are the subject of much controversy.
The origin of the term "Ramb­lin'
Wreck" is especially contro­versial.
The most generally ac­cepted
story is t o l d by Ford
Kaufman, who in 1892 was man­ager
of t h e first Georgia Tech
football team. According to his
story, t h e "Ramblin' Wreck"
owes its existence in part to Au­burn!
IT WAS b a c k in 1893, says
Kaufman, t h a t the "Ramblin'
Wreck" was born. The football
squad, on its way to meet the
Auburn team at Auburn, passed
the time in singing and merry­making.
They began to improvise
a song. Seeking a phrase to
rhyme with "Georgia Tech," they
came up with "Ramblin' Wreck,"
The words were then set to a
familiar old tune, and a tradi­tion
began. The tune has been
identified as the old English folk
tune, "Son of a Gambolier,"
which had been sung before on
American campuses, the first of \
which was Yale. The words were
revised in 1910, but the tune is
the same to this day.
That other familiar symbol of
Georgia Tech, the Yellow Jacket,
also seems to have come in with
football. The school colors of
white and gold worn by early
Tech athletes gave rise to the
term "yellow jackets," meaning
football players. Later, the term
came to mean Tech students in
general, whose symbol was the
WILLEM DUDOK, Dutch, ar­chitect
and town planner, will
speak at the fall meeting of the
Alabama Society of Architects.
The Professor Who
Couldn't Say "No"
OR... What to do when you
can't afford to flunk
Once there was a Professor who was
reluctant to Flunk the Team's Top
Muscle-Mam . . . a fullback named
Printwhistle, of impressive Physical
Proportions but intellectually a Lump.
The Professor sought a Loophole.
"Printwhistle," he said, "I am no
pedant who believes that the sole pur­pose
of education is to cram the Mind
with Facts. Rather is its aim to broaden
the Mind and make it more Productive.
If you can come to me within 24 hours
with one — just one — original and
worthwhile Idea, I shall not Flunk
you."
The dejected Printwhistle explained
his Dilemma to his roommate. "Relax,"
said the latter. "Simplest thing in the
world" . . . and he expounded a
Stratagem. •»
Next morning the evidence was in.
Telegrams . . . hundreds of 'em . . . on
the Professor's desk, from practically
everybody on the Campus. All bearing
the same message: "Printwhistle must
not Flunk. Old Blackstrap needs him.
This Approach is his Idea."
Did it work? Well, there's a certain
All-American named Printwhistle
whose voice shakes with grateful Emo­tion
when anyone mentions Western
Union in his Presence.
When you want to Swing a Deal . . .
Telegrams work wonders. They're
grade-A Date Bait, great for coaxing
cash from home, practical for arrang­ing
anything from a Weekend to a Job
Interview. When you want to get inside
the Opponent's ten-yard line . . . let

'Where the students meet'
Annual fall meeting of the
Alabama Society of Architects
will be held in Biggin Hall Oct.
23, Lawrence Whitten, Birming­ham,
president, announced.
Principal speaker will be Wil­liam
Dudok, distinguished Dutch
architect and town planner, who
is making a two and a half
months lecture tour of leading U.
S. architectural colleges, under
the sponsorship of the American
Institute of Architects.
Dudok is internationally known
as a pioneer in the modern move­ment
in Holland and a leader of
his profession for over 30 years.
His principal works are in Hil-versum,
a small town not far
from Amsterdam which began a
period of rapid growth prior to
World War I. Dudok's first build­ings
were executed there for the
town of Hilversum, and he has
been its city architect since 1928.
Among his works are the town
hall, public baths, an electric
draining mill, many schools, an
abattoir, and a number of coun­try
homes for private clients.
Also appearing on the program
will be John E. Dinwiddie, new
director of the School of Archi­tecture
at Tulane in New Or­leans.
gold-and-white striped insect, the
yellow jacket.
THE SCHOOL colors themsel­ves
were selected by a commit­tee
of the class of 1892. There is
no record of why these colors
were chosen.
Of course Georgia Tech has a
traditional annual football rival­ry.
The Yellow Jackets play arch­rival
University of Georgia every
year in a no-holds-barred con­test.
Both teams throw away the
record books for this one, and
with good reason. A successful
football season for either of these
two teams consists of defeating
the other school's team. The riv­alry
might be compared to that
of Alabama and Auburn.
The Tech-Auburn f o o t b a ll
game is itself a tradition. The
first Tech football team played
Auburn for its first game, and
first loss. The two teams have
missed playing each other only
six years in the last half century.
Incidentally, Tech holds the edge,
28 wins to 24 for Auburn.
Latins Elect
Latin American Club at API has
announced the election of officers
for the 1953-54 school year.
Named to serve as president was
Francisco Fernandez, Cuba. Other
officers are: Guillermo Maymir,
vice-president, Cuba; Benis Al-cock,
treasurer, Peru; Lui^Gaitan,
secretary, Cuba, and Dr. Allen S.
Edgar, faculty advisor.
Local Draft Boards
Have Tests Ready
"Applications for the November
19, 1953 and the April 22, 1954 ad­ministrations
of the College Qual­ifications
Test are now available
at Selective Service System local
boards throughout the country,"
states P. M. Norton, Coordinator
of Veterans Affairs.
' Norton said that eligible Au­burn
students who intend to take
this test on either date should ap­ply
at once to the nearest draft
board or to the Registrar's Office
and obtain application and a bul
letin of information.
Following instructions in the
bulletin,, the student should fill
out his application and mail it
immediately in the envelope pro­vided
to SELECTIVE SERVICE
EXAMINING SECTION, Educa­tional
Testing Service, P.O. Box
586, Princeton, N.J. Applications
for the November 19 test must be
postmarked no later than mid­night,
November 2, 1953.
According to t h e Educational
Testing Service, which prepares
and administers the College Qual­ification
Test for the Selective
Service System, it will be greatly
to the student's advantage to file
his application at once, regardless
of the testing date he selects. The
results will be reported to the stu­dent's
Selective Service local
board of jurisdiction for use in
considering his deferment as a
student.

students should contact P.M. Nor­ton

Three of the five initial games were shutouts. Sigma Nu
edged DSP, 6-0, Pi Kappa Alpha did the same to t h e Phi Taus,

Delta Tau Delta's debut into fra­ternity

by a 6-2 count. Joiner went over
for the fateful marker.
SIGMA PHI EPSILON, the de­fending

tallied the TD's for the winners

opponents of the change.
The fraternity teams will be
composed of five men and the
