The race is; scheduled to get under way in front of the Field House at 3:30 p.m., with Council of Dean's excuses being granted to participants who will miss any classes after 3 p.m. The race is a 2.7 mile crosscountry run, in which all able-bodied freshmen are required to participate. The winner will receive a trophy, a kiss from Miss Auburn, a cake and various prizes donated by Auburn merchants^ , The first 25 runners to cross the finish line will be awarded cakes. The fraternity having five pledges with the lowest number of points scored will'be granted 100 points toward the all-sports trophy.

Each runr ner will be given a tag on which he will print his name and sponsoring* organization. This tag will be attached to the front side of Dean's Vote: 'No School Saturday' The Council of Deans has voted to not have classes on Saturday, Dec. 4, as was previously announced. Dean Roger Allen, dean of the School of Science and Literature, stated that the council voted to rescind their previous decision because of several factors. "After school was closed for one and' a half days during the acute water shortage, the council voted to make up a full day on Saturday, Dec. 4," stated Dean Allen. ' "Now," he continued, "the deans, have reconsidered, and feei that because of the cbntinu-. ing water shortage, and the question of many students and faculty on which day was to be made up, that it would be wise not to schedule classes" this Saturday. Dean Allen also stated that the fall quarter has two more days in it than each of thej other two quarters," and the coming examinations were also factors in the •dean's decision. the right shoulder — any runner finishing the race without a tag wili^be disqualified. Runners will be led by a car Carrying Miss Auburn, Augusta York, Birmingham. All participants must follow the car and stay on the; street without cutting corners. The race was begun by Wilbur Hutsell- in *1929, when the track c&aeh. found himself short of talent. In an effort to locate unknown speedsters he originated the idea of a race for all freshmen. ODK decided to sponsor the event the next year and since that time the "Rat Race" has become an Auburn tradition. Overton holds record • Whitey Overton, Auburn's great Olympic runner, .holds the record for the course with a time of 13 minutes and 46 seconds. Bill Ifarbrough, Decatur, won- the event last year. • The Cake Race course . begins in front of the Field House, goes past the Library and makes a left turn on College Street. It continues past Toomer's corner to the College service station, where a right turn is made onto Glenn Avenue. t\— ' , ' ; The runners go down Glenn to the second stop light then bear right to Magnolia Avenue, where another right turn is made up the hill. Turning left into Gay Street at the Methodist Church, the course continues until aright tiirn^ is made at .Samford Avenue. ' From there it winds past the Kappa Alpha house, between the Forestry.. Building- and the president's mansion and oh down to the Animal Husbandry Building. The' runners then turn right down Cary Street, going west of the baseball field and into the gate of the stadium to finish on the track.

This first performance took place^ in Langdon Hall, and the chorus of 65 was made up largely of professors and their-wives. Soloists had to be imported, since ihere were no singers available in Auburn. There was no orchestra, so the accompaniment was played on the piano and the electric organ. Since the construction of the ' Student Activities Building the "Messiah" has been presented there and each year has grown into a larger production. The 31 choral selections of this oratorio will be sung by some 200 Auburn students with accom-painment by the API Symphony Orchestra. During the decade of "Messiah" performances here at Auburn more than 15,000 persons have attended and it is expected that approximately 2,000 persons will attend this tenth anniversary occasion on December 7. All girls will get late permission for the performance. WALTER COLLINS Pyburn, Childress Named To MSEC Grid Eleven By AP Auburn's Jim Pyburn and Joe Childress were picked on the 1954 Associated Press All-SEC team Wednesday in a poll which honored only two repeaters from-the '53 mythical squad. .Pyburn and LSU's giant tackle, Sid .Fburnet, were, the only stars to come back and daiiS a spot on the first team. Pyburn polled more votes than any other performer honored. Alongside Childress, there are two of the country's finest-runners and a top-flight quarterback teamed up in the person of Tennessee's Tom "The Bomb" Tracy, the Vol's running demon, Mississfppi State's Art Davis, the lad. who scored a quartet of TD's against LSU, and Kentucky's dextrous quarterback, Bob Hardy. The dynamic forward wall averages 202 pounds and a shade over 6 feet per man, and has speed, drive, and great ability to make the quick charge on offense. Paired off with Pyburn at the other end is lanky Henry Hair of Georgia Tech, and the other tackle spot is filled by Ole Miss' Rex Boggan, a Marine returnee. ' At the guards, Tech's Franklin Brooks and Vanderbilt's Bobby Goodall give the squad an excellent blocking and sure-fire tackling duo, while at center Hal East-erwood replaces Larry Morris after the Tech star's two-year tenue at the pivot. Easterwood, a Mississippi State standout, was named "Lineman of the Week" in the nation after his performance against Alabama.

It's Auburn vs Baylor In Gator Bowl By Ed Williams Plainsman Sports Writer For the second year in succession the Gator Bowl'Comm i t t e e has chosen A u b u r n for i t s annual post-season classic, and once more a strong Texas t e am has been picked to oppose the Plainsmen. This year's opponent will be Baylor of the Southwest Conference. Last January 1 the Tigers fell to Texas Tech's Red Raiders 35- 13, but this time things should be different. Still Baylor is not an outfit to be trifled - with. The Bears completed the season with a 7-3 over-all record and were 4-2 in conference play. They finished third in the SWC, but they missed the championship by only the narrowest of margins. Waco boys fall Arkansas took the boys from Waco by a 21-20 score early in October, but up until their last game, they still had an outside chance of tying the Porkers for the'' crown. Ironically enough, it was Rice that finally smashed the Bears' championship hopes. The Owls also beat Baylor in the final game of the 1953 season to deny them the title. Baylor holds 'victories over' Houston, Vahderbilt, Washington, Texas A&M, Texas, Texas Christian University and South- • ern Methodist University. Probably the most important of these was 33-21 conquest of S.M.U. The Mustangs seemed headed for the Cotton Bowl after upsetting Arkansas, but Baylor stopped them cold in a wide open thriller. Coach Qeorge Sauer prefers the split-T attack and has molded a mighty football machine around quarterbaik Billy Hooper's passing and halfbalk T. G. Dupre's running. The Bears placed three men on.the All Southwest Con-fei- ence team. faced common foe Auburn and Baylor have faced only one common foe — Miami. In a night game in the Orange Bowl, the- Hurricanes edged Baylor 19-13, while, as we all know, the Tigers surprised Miami 14-13 in the daylight. The Plainsmen should get a little larger cash return out of this year's Gator Bowl. The game has been switched to December 31, so that there will be a better chance of selling the TV and radio rights. It also seems fairly certain that the SEC will forego their 25 per cent share of the proceeds. Last year after the conference got their cut, Auburn barely broke even. Social Activities Normal After Birmingham Affair By Doris Lessman C Plainsman "Society Editor Following the Thanksgiving flurry of football games and the many colorful festivities of last weekend, API students are back in the swing of school work making preparation for final exams that are just around the corner.

Delta Zeta Sorority Adopts Korean Boy Yoo Jin, a 12 year-old Korean boy, was recently adopted by Beta Xi Chapter of Delta Zeta at API. This adoption of Yoo Jin for one year was made possible through aid of the Foster Parent's Plan for War Children. Yoo Jin's mother died when he was three years old. His father, a sergeant major in the ROK army, was one of the first to be killed by the Communists. Yoo Jin wandered about, starving and wretched, until an American GI picked him up and. he went along with the unit to Kong Nun. Yoo Jin followed the American unit until May 1953. He was admitted to an orphanage through the interest of one of the American GI's and has remained there ever since. Delta Zeta is helping Yoo Jin with a monthly cash grant and periodical relief issue. Yoo Jin is devoting his time to music and his ambition is to become a pianist and composer.

We feel that no team in the South can match, the current team of Coach "Shug" Jordan. We confess to a deep sense of disappointment when our fine team was overlooked for the Cotton Bowl; and we still think that Cotton Bowl officials made a bad mistake in taking Georgia Tech over our Plainsmen. In this case their loss is the Gator Bowl's gain. But the disappointment has now .subsided, and we look forward with much anticipation the coming conflict with Baylor in the Gator Bowl. As Auburn journeys to Jacksonville for the second straight year, many sports scribes and coaches say that no team in the entire South can field a first eleven any stronger. Yet, the Golden Bears of the Southwest Conference have different ideas. They feel as though the 21-20 defeat they suffered from Co.ttpn Bowl-bound Arkansas was not an indication of their team's strength. So you can count on a whale of a game come December 31. According to Associated Press results, the Gator Bowl game is now listed as the third strongest post - season encounter. AP indicates that the Rose Bowl, with Ohio State and Southern California, "and the Sugar Bowl, pitting Ole Miss against Navy, are the two strongest bowl games. The Auburn - Baylor conflict is supposed to be third. Actually, The Plainsman can't see' that the Rose Bowl can boast of any better game than the Gator. Ohio State is ranked No. 1 in the nation, with Southern Cal given 17th spot. Our argument is that Auburn is 13th nationwide and Baylor is 18th, Common sense would lead one to the decision that we have formed. As the official season closed, eight Auburn seniors played their last regular game. Such stars, as Jimmy Long, Dave Middleton, Bobby Freeman, George Atkins, Jack Locklear, Al Brame, Jim Hall, and Ted Neura will be sorely missed in next season's encounters. A consolation in the departure of these eight is the fact that they have played on one of the finest Auburn teams in the long history of the game here: Old-timers have scratched their heads in amazement at the feats of 4hese boys. Many of them confess defeat when attempting to compare them to stars "of the good ole days." The Plainsman can think of no more fitting way for these seniors to cap off their college football days than with an impressive victory over Baylor with the whole country (via television) looking on. On The Auburn Band The Auburn band deserves tremendous credit for its efforts during the entire year, - and especially during the football campaign. Day after day band members practice, knowing that very little reward will be forthcoming. In many cases the only justification they receive is knowing that they are a very important part of Auburn, and that functions such as football games would lose much appeal if the band w&s absent. J Bandmaster Herbert and his entire band have done an excellent job in this football season. They have presented half-time shows that have done themselves and their schqol credit. We are proud of their showings. . HUMPH .. ;; .We feel that too often the band is~^9jten for granted and students don't appreciate it as they should. Scholarship-wise the band is completely left out. As far as this paper knows Auburn's band doesn't offer a single scholarship. Yet, they manage to keep pace with bands in which many scholarships are given and band members paid. The Plainsman knows there is enough "loose money" in obscure places to offer at least two band scholarships each year. The Concessions Board, which handles all profits the school receives from campus vending machines, could establish a number of band scholarships.

This paper would oppose a move to use any part of the student activity fee for scholarships £o deserving high school graduates. Responsible persons should rally to the cause. Where's The Trophy? The winner of. the Auburn-Alabama football game each year is permitted to control the coveted Qmicron Delta Kappa Trophy. Auburn grid elevens have justified our keeping the trophy only two times, in, the past seven years, including the recent victory. Yet, DDK hasn't seen fit to get the magic article. It still remains in the hands of the losers. It would seem to the casual observer if you desire something very much and finally won it, you would hardly neglect to go get it. The DDK Trophy should be presented to the winner of the game immediately after the battle, not sometime during the basketball season. Convenience is not a factor. Responsible persons haven't seen to it that the trophy was secured. We haven't been able to get it often, so when we do win, let's pick up the spoils, huh! Safety Month Continues "No More Accidents—No More Injured —None Killed" is the slogan for the Campus Drives Committee's safety month. In this last issue of The Plainsman for the quarter, we urge students to do their utmost to make this slogan stick. We hate to read of students being involved in wrecks.. . » • The Disciplinary Board has set a pre-cident to dismiss any student from Auburn who is involved in an accident while drinking. Several students have already been dismissed. Just drinking is bad enough, but driving and drinking is inexcusable. Our student body has been known for some time as a traveling group. This, plus an unavoidable trip home and to the Gator Bowl, will make it even more possible for students to be involved in wrecks. Only by very careful and safe driving can we hope to escape serious accidents. Last year alone, 38,300 motor vehicle accident deaths were recorded in the United States. Many of these deaths occurred during the Christmas holidays. Some of them enroute to post-season bowl games. We hope that Auburn students won't' go beserk under the wheel and drive carelessly. For only by driving with care can we all hope to return to API. * Just Ain't No Justice* By Ronafd Owen To coin a phrase, "There just ain't no justice," especially as far as Auburn's football team and bowl games are concerned. When the best team in the Southeastern Conference doesn't get a bid to one of the major bowls the situation is approaching the ridiculous. Maybe it's going to take a few years for the bowl officials to wise-up apd admit to themselves,that Auburn is, a football power. Maybe it's going to •take an all«out. effort along lines of public relations to impress these people. (They appear to be susceptible to such tactics.) At any rate, just having the best, and flashiest, team in, the conference isn't enough. Three early season losses -didn't help Auburn's cause any when final consideration was being given. However, in this year of upsets the Plainsmen emerged with as good a record as any SEC team save Ole Miss. True, Auburn lost to Georgia Tech, 14-7—however, that was earlier in the season. That was also the Tigers last defeat. After losing to Tech Auburn mowed down six tough opponents in a row. The two most significant wins were the 14-13 victory over previously unbeaten Miami and the 35-0 trouncing of league leading Georgia. The finishing touches to a fine season were added last Saturday as Auburn ran wild, over the Tide 28-0. Clemson coach Frank Howard said, after losing to the Tigers 27- 6, that Auburn was the best team his men had played all season. That included Maryland and South Carolina, to mention a few. Red Drew of Alabama, said essentially the same thing last Saturday, his list of opponents including Georgia Tech and Miami. Visiting football authorities compared the fiery Plainsmen favorably with such teams as Ohio State, Oklahoma and UCLA, the top teams in the nation. Statistics bear the critics out, for Auburn took a lion's share of the honors when final season figures were released. Quarterback Bobby Freeman was first in total offense, Joe Childress was first in individual rushing and in scoring, and Jim Pyburn was first in pass receptions. Sports writers of some state papers suggested that maybe Auburn was too great for their own good. Rumors have it that except for the desention of the Arkansas coach, the Tigers would have been in the Cotton Bowl easily. Oh, well, better years lie ahead. Auburn is definitely on the way up the ladder to football fame. But it's sure is a shame to see this wonderful array of talent shunted on New Year's Day. A team like this year's doesn't come every season for Auburn. Nope, there just ain't no justice. Bouquets & Brickbats Hire The Wife Out?

Wisconsin Reader Writes About Gretchen Dear Editor: I have been an avid reader of The Plainsman for the past four years and have at times have been amused at the editorial page and, likewise, disgusted; but never have I been so sickened as I,was on November 12 when Messrs. Owen and Teem found it necessary to write a cheap imitation of "Dragnet" using the strangulation of poor Gretchen as a theme. I am not usually one to criticize the "freedom of the press" but in this instance I deem it necessary to call to the attention of the two examples of manhood in question that DEATH does not occur for the amusement of humanity, especially when administered in such an inhuman manner. I sincerely believe that the so-called "officer of the law" found guilty of this act should be relieved of his badge. There is no excuse for the use of brutality when it becomes necessary to annihilate an animal; the Small Animal Clinic would administer a painless anesthetic if called upon. Too, may I remind the officer (and I use the word loosely) that poor Gretchen was not responsible for being a "stray;" that was the fault of the "human" population of Auburn. I am sure she would have made an appreciative pet to anyone doing the humane thing of just inviting her. Bouquets to the students who were considerate enough to bring food and kindness into the life of the late Gretchen, and Brickbats to the "cop" (thrown fast and furiously) who found it sporting to strangle one of man's best friends. In closing may I say that, if the 0 backlog of amusing editorial .material of Messrs. Teem and Owen has been so depleted that they find it necessary to use DEATH as a subject, may I suggest that they" relinquish their space in The Plainsman to a more deserving writer, or a page copied from some current joke book. Sincerely yours, Nell C. Albert Madison, Wis. Alumnus Writes Poem Commemorating Victory Dear Editor: This poem was written by Willis Merchant '24, 'after the game Noyember 27. We think it's good enough to be printed in The Plainsman. The twenty seventh of this November Is a day that Auburn will long remember For the mighty Tide — it marked the day When it slowed to a trickle then faded away. Cheerleader Replies To Column Criticism Dear Editor, Last Wednesday an editorial appeared in The Plainsman which was entitled "Cheering Section Impolite." In the article it gave special attention to the yell, "We've go Howard worried" and the editorial implied this yell was started by the cheerleaders. This is not true. This, particular yell was started in the stands and when several thousand people start a yell you can't stop them. This would be hurting the spirit of the crowd when we do lead a yell. Booing can be controlled but the other is hard to control. Besides this minor point that I have just mentioned, someone who was standing near Coach Howard (Clemson Coach) said he took it with a smile and said, "You're right, they really have got me worried." The thing that upset me most in your editorial was your statement that we were yelling, tt$- drown out the other cheering see,-:, tipn. I assure you that not ever has that been the slightest reason for our yelling. We yell because we have something to yell for— not to drown out anyone. If you remember, almost every time at the FSU ball game, their band would play and never did it enter my; mind or the mind of any member of the cheerleader squad that they were playing to drown us out. The best time for us to lead a yell is during a time-out because we can get the crowd's attention;, therefore, we yell at the time we * feel it is best. If "we have given this impression to you, any member of the Auburn Student Body or Clemson's Student Body, we sincerely apologize, for this was not our intention. During the football season the cheerleaders meet every day at 4 p.m. at the stadium. We would appreciate and would listen! with utmost attention to any constructive criticism or suggestions anyone has. Yours for a.GREATER Auburn, Buddy Jacobs Head Cheerleader As the sun over Legion Field slowly sank, Jordan got "28" but Red Drew a blank. There was also a turning point against 'Bama in this game. The turning point, my boy, was when the kick-off came. It seemed strange for 'Bama, usually in the driver's seat, To be listed on the menu as just plain "Tiger Meat". You must admit that 'Bama really tried, But last Saturday, they just tried, sighed, cried and died!! Don't blame it on the coach nor the team For when Freeman and Company got up steam Something had to give — something had to fall. We give 'Bama credit for showing up at all! Willis Merchant Class of '24 By Red Provost Married students are often faced with gross financial difficulties. Student wives (a singularly noble breed of women) often take it upon themselves to alleviate some of the distress, and do so through diverse means. One may find student wives in the roles of secretary, chairwoman, lady wrestler, fishwife, door-to- door encyclopedia saleswomen, stock car racer, rubber band inspector, BB-staoker, etcetera. But my wife runs a clandestine "ad-vice- to-the-lovelorn" service. No doubt there are those among you to whom this comes as ho surprise, and ,to who invaluable" advice has come when sorely needed. One particularly poignant epistle arrived last week — on worthy of public attention. To wit: Dear Linda Neare,. I am 10,-years old and my mother tells me I am too young to be in a family way and I told her I didn't know what she meant but the doctor at Lee County Hospital said the same thing. Jimmy is 12, and he says I am not in a family way, but I don't trust him because he is responsible and he won't marry me but that isn't what I wanted to tell you about. What really hacks me off is my mother says I ,am too young to use lipstick and wear hose and how am I going to get anybody to dance with me at the Valentine party if I don't wear lipstick and hose and my mother won't let me dance anyway? Hacked. Off Dear Hacked Off, Yours is a problem which will require understanding on the part of your mother, your father, your step-neighbor-i*£law, Eldred, me, your teacher, yourself, your cook, the boys at the Valentine party, and Hazel Bishop. The only advice I can offer is to keep your chip up, keep smiling, and keep your dues to the Battle Buzzard Lonely Hearts Club paid up. Yours in the bond, L. N. It is heartening to note that new members are drifting to the Battle Buzzard Lonely Hearts Club, and already the muster sheet includes such celebrities as Sally Paddicker, discoverer of excess gastric acidity and other phenomena, ,and Fred /the now-famous crwthist), and me. Advice To The Lovelorn Henry: "That good looking blonde sure laughed at my gags. Did you see her bust out?" Lee: "No, darn it! I was sitting behind her." By Cramer Robinson and ., "' ] Bill Teem Plainsman Lonely Hearts Editors A survey taken at Auburn recently, shows that there are definitely two different sexes present on the campus. According to Doctor Kinsey, Ph.D„ Indiana, and Mother Nature, Lu,V., Figleaf U., these species occasionally show a slight attraction for one another. Lately, support of this theory has been evident on the Auburn cam- \ pus. Careful thought will reveal that this presents a problem. Herebefore The Plainsman's policay has been rather lax in aiding the emotional stresses and strains encountered by young lovr ers. Therefore, we feel rthat it is our duty to assist these perturbed young people in • solving their problems by offering them sound advice on problems of a romantical nature. We believe that we are qualified to offer, such advice because of years of experience in walking into dark rooms at fraternity houses without knocking, and four years of listening to the platter parade. advice from '(overs' So, if your romance is on the rocks, if the sweet young thing spits in your eye, if your one-and-only stands you up for the big formal -of the year, don't douse your room-mate with showers of brime or turn to studying to relieve your heartache, instead send your problem to The plainsman Lonely Hearts Editors, Teem and Robinson (We feel we are qualified because we have lonely hearts). You need our aid if your problems run something like these: Dear Carmer and Bill, I have a problem. I am editor of the most obscure publication on campus. I can't reveal the name, but it rhymes with Beethoven's Sonata. Although this alone is quite a problem, my complaint today concerns girls. In my work I am surrounded by dozens of beautiful young coeds. Naturally they are awe-stricken by my greek-god feature? and my bubbling personality. At times I find this flattering, especially in my private office, but as a rule it is a. severe handicap in trying to meet my inevitable deadline. ^ As my female staff is always ip a continual strife as to who . will escore me home, wJ^s^JLittle : work there; is to dp-ionthe publication goes undone. I am conscientious, and would like to perform my duties unmolested by these fighting females. Girls call me all during the day and night, clamoring for my company and demanding dates. On several occasions I have been ambushed during innocent strolls across the campus. Just the other day a curvacious coed dropped from a tree onto my back, screaming for an autograph or something. But, I am a busy man, and have no time for these gregarious females. I am paid a fabulous salary and am furnished with assistants, automobiles, free copies of The Plainsman and otherwise live a normal life. In spite of my handsome frame, my desire to edit a passable publication is the supreme interest in my life. How can I rid myself of these persistent females? Signed, Frustrated Editor Dear -Frustrated Editor, At a time like this it ' takes courage. Try to maintain a cool, level head in your hour of distress. You must act like a man in your surroundings. Attempt to suppress your pronounced inferiority complex and try to see yourself as others see you. However, please realize the impact your life has on the Auburn female population. Be calm and resourceful, but by all means be ambidextrous. Try to do both jobs at once. If this doesn't work, we would be glad to relieve some of the tension around you. Dear Lovelorn Editors, I am young and handsome; this is not my problem. My father is a multi-millionaire, and I, myself, am independently wealthy; this is not my problem. I- have a different colored Cadillac convertible for every day in the week; this it not my problem. Since starting to school at Auburn, I have made a straight "A" average; this is not my problem. Coeds flock around me as if I played the piano; this is not my problem. Recently I met the cutest little freshman on the campus and she fell madly in love with me; this is not my'problem. I have a date with her for the biggest party of the year tomorrow night; this is not my problem. Today I received a shipment of twenty custom-made charcoal-grey suits from my tailor in New York; this is not my problem. Editors, I just don't know whether to wear pink or helio with charcoal tomorrow night; this is my problem. Signed, Worried Dear Worried, Our sympathy, indeed, is strongest to the underpriviliged.

Surrounded by a bevy of feminine typists and filing clerks, Bill started his class section and met the January 1 dealine, 50 days early.

College Next to The Grille \ Plainsman Cagers Set for Opener With Strong Hilltoppers By Bill Hutto Plainsman Sports Editor A new, fresh sport takes the spotlight on the Plains tomorrow night. Basketball comes in with a bang, and forces "King Football" to take a back seat as Coach Joel Eaves shows off his brand new 1954-1955 Auburn cagers to. the Birmingham- Southern Hilltoppers and to the fans in the Auburn Sports Arena. , Following the varsity tilt, the Plainsman freshmen entertain Southern-Union, a scrappy outfit from Wadley. The Hilltoppers arc the first team to face the Tigers as they launch a heavy holiday schedule that carries them into battle against Jacksonville State^Teach-ers College on December 11, and then on to Montgomery for the Blue-Gray Tournament December ^ HUTTO Plainsman Sports Editor . Tigers Get Second Straight Foe From Lone Star State In Gator Bowl Get those Baylor Bears! That was t h e c r y echoed around this bustling town Tuesday afternoon when word was confirmed that the Gator Bowl committee had p a i r e d t h e P l a i n s men with a power from the Lone Star State for the second straight y e a r/ The players, the coaches, and everyone in the Village were pleased with the committee's action. Members of the squad swarmed into the Field House when they got whiff of the big news. The majority of the boys knew nothing about Baylor except that they have a 7-3 record, (the same as the Tigers') that they tied with Rice for third place in the Southwest Conference race, and that in final Associated Press poll they finished 18th, five notches below the War Eagles. "Let's go and find out something about these Texans," one said. "I want to. know what we're up against." Athletic Director Jeff Beard and Publicist Bill Beckwith spent most of their time Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with a phone receiver on their ear as did Coach Shug Jordan. This was a time-involving negotiation, and numerous phone calls were included In the transaction. T— Coached By Ex-Navy Mentor The Golden Bears are masterminded by a 1934 Nebraska graduate, George Sauer, who came to the Waco, Texas, institution after a tenure at Navy, Kansas, and New Hampshire. The last Baylor aggregation he led into a post-season classic was his powerful 1951 squad which fell to Georgia Tech in Miami's Orange Bowl 17-14 on New Year's I\aj^5,2.. If., you recall correctly, thai was the year Tech quarterback -Pepper Rodgers lofted a field goal far and true in the wanilp£secpnds ..to submerge this. Larry Isbell-inspired Baylor team. The spearhead of this 1954 Golden Bear team has been for the most part a quarterback named Billy Hooper. Against Texas, this scampering young Texan scored both of the TD's as the "Big Green" chalked up a 13-7 triumph in Wa»o. . The theme seems to be "As Hooper's passing arm goes, so goes Baylor." Last week in their 20-14 loss to powerful Rice, the Owls bottled up Hooper's passing game and, it turned out to be what the doctor ordered for Coach Jess Neely's crew. Other moving forces in the Bear's thunderous split-T attack have been Halfback L. G. Dupre, and Del Shofner, a fiercely competitive sophomore who was instrumental in the booming 33-21 win over Southern Methodist. This Baylor victory killed the Methodists' chances of parsing Arkansas in the conference title race. — Game Moved Up To 31st With the game being pushed up to December 31 this year instead of New Year's Day, and with nation-wide video coverage pending the Tiger-Golden Bear clash should give this republic's grid fans a football game they won't forget for quite a while. We know what our Plainsmen can do on a football field. We saw them streak through their last six games without a blemish, and without a sign of slowing up. The' line had no peer anywhere, and the backfield was regarded by many as being the best in the long history of the Tigers. Certainly, last week's adjective-attracting win over Alabama stands as the greatest one accomplishment turned in by Shug since he took the reigns in 1951. It can be said without a single eyelash-batting that it was one of the best ever for Bobby Freeman, Fob James, and Joe Childress. Jim Pyburn was busy all afternoon making life miserable for Bobby Luna and the other Tide backs. On two straight plays Luna rambled over into Big Jim's (no kin to Mrs. Folsom's boy of Cullman, fame) territory, and found himself in considerable trouble. The first time, he was thrown for a 3-yard loss, and the second time for an 11-yard deficit. How anybody can leave this 185-pound package of dynamite off their All-America team is beyond the reasoning of the thousands of loyal Alabamians whd have watched him play. —Tigers Give SEC Three Leaders Pyburn, Childress, and Freeman were the conference leaders off this great Auburn team. The glue-fingered Pyburn paced the SEC in pass-receiving with 28 catches good for 460 yards (a new school record) and four touchdowns. The Jolter led conference rushers as he lugged the leather for 836 yards on 128 tries; an average of 5.6 yards a carry. . Freeman, the boy with ah indescribable will to win, became the third player in Auburn history to surpass the 1000-yard total offense mark as he ran and threw for 1132'yards; tops for the "Dixie Dozen." Admittedly, this Tiger eleven is one of the very best in the nation, and on thesq pages of THE PLAINSMAN we'd like to extend our best wishes on behalf of the student body and people of the state, to Coach Ralph Jordan, the members of his staff, and to the entire team in their holiday venture in Jacksonville. — Eaves Unveils Cagers Tomorrow Coach Joel Eaves and his Plainsman basketeers have their "coming out" party tomorrow night in the Sports Arena, and it looks from here like the team has a good spirit as they launch, their campaign to fill the big gaps left by the graduation of the backbone of the 1953-1954 crew, Bob Miller, Jack Turner, Bill Fickling, and John Cochran. , These boys comprised four of the five starting berths on last year's team, and their loss will be deeply felt. Coach Eaves says; that the scrappy bunch of boys out this year are dead set on plugging up those holes though, and they've shown a great desire to do so. Conference hopes right now are not too bright, but the likes of Bill Kirkpatrick, Jim O'Donnell, Jim Diamond, Gordon Mum- •mert, and Henry Sturkie are ready to prove otherwise. We'll take the Tigers in their Birmingham-Southern tilt tomorrow. 17 and 18. In the first round in this Coliseum attraction, they tangle with the Generals of Washington and Lee, while Tennessee and Miami square off. From the" Capital City the Tigers return to the Loveliest Village January 5, for a clash with Howard in the Sports Arena. Coach Eaves indicated early this week "Our boys have improved a great deal since we first started readying ourselves for the game with Southern, but the real standouts . have been Forwards Jim O'Donnell, Jim Diamond, and Guard Bill Kirkpatrick. These boys have made great strides toward obtaining the polish they'll need in order to spearhead a winning attack." Eaves also commented that the squad's lack of height will be a tremendous handicap in the building of an aggressive cage unit. has strong team Southern has a strong team with all but one of its regulars from last season returning to action. The Tiger captains, Kirkpatrick, the spunky ball-handling wizard from Surgoinsville, Tenn., and O'Donnell, the ex-Marine, with the quick reflexes and the drive and agressiveness of a battle-tested veteran, give the Plainsmen the experience so necessary in anchoring the up-and-coming' cagers around. O'Donnell is from Hack-ensack, N. J. Sophomore Guard Henry Sturkie, the fast-breaking Gadsden product, is also a tested performer in Eaves' machine. His stellar freshman season last year gave Tiger supporters plenty to Chirp about. three vie at center At center, veteran'Gordon Mum-ment, Kay Slayden and" Mack Lee have been,putting on quite a scrap for the starting berth. Against the Hilltoppers, a lot will be heard from little Byrd Whigham also. A deadly set-shot exponent, this Louisville native played his first year last season, and was also a big gun in the potent attack of Dick McGowen's Tiger baseball squad. Standing only 5'7" above the floor, Whig-ham is as keen a competitor as the Plains people have seen in quite some time.

Tigers Finish 7-3 Season By Trouncing Bama 28-0 By Bill Hutto Plainsman Sports Editor Employing a pulverizing ground attack that floored a game Crimson Tide from Alabama, Auburn's Freeman-ted Plainsmen downed the Capstoners 28-0 Saturday on the muddy turf of Birmingham's Legion Field. With quarterback Bobby Freeman engineering his great-test game and running the option Ivith almost evil deftness, the Tigers turned loose all their jguns in registering their sixth conseoutive win. . . Freeman dealth off the top, middle, and bottom of the deck as he called, on Hoppy Middleton, Fob James, and Joe Childress to perform the wrecking duties for Shug Jordan in the amiable mentor's finest hour. no more scoring The Tigers' passing attack greatly contributed to the breaking of the Elephant's back with All- America End Jim Pyburn, Fob James, and Jim Hall all collaring long passes for gains which set up the Tiger marches. The Plainsmen were brilliantly guided in their attack by a peerless Freeman, who was closing out his colorful Tiger career in spectacular style. He personally accounted for three of the four six-pointers, and in general experienced his most action-packed day since he began putting on Tiger pads back in 1951. With 12 seconds remaining in the initial quarter, the 195- pound Decatur boy rammed over from the one with the first Auburn score.

Tide's back broken That was all the Villiagers could do scoring-wise until the second half when Freeman took the opening kickoff and returned it 11 yards to the Auburn 25. Childress picked up 19 and Middleton added 4, and "The Goose" turned on the steam with a 41-yard "keep" play around right end, which carried him right on into the Tide promised land. Third scoring honors went to the Jolter himself, Joe Childress, the fullback who runs over, around, and"under you. His was a piercing thrust through left guard from two yards out with guard Chuck Maxime throwing a strong and vital shoulder into Corky Tharp to pave the way. Childress added the third of his four extra points and the Plainsmen prevailed 21-0. Freeman rapped the afternoon's scoring parade up with 9:18 r e maining in the contest.

Phipps doesn't know how to go about courting Miss McFetridge, for, after all, he is a professor in the autumn of his life, and she is a coed with rosy knees. Professor Twonkey, who shares an office with Phipps, proposes the following plan: Phipps will ask Miss McFetridge to come to his office for a conference late in the afternoon. He will be urbane and charming and make frightfully witty remarks about English lit, and Miss McFetridge will laugh and laugh. After an hour of this high-type hilarity, Phipps will look at his watch, exclaim at the lateness of the hour, and insist on driving Miss McFetridge home. On the way home, he will pass a theatre that shows French movies. They'll see the movie, then have an exquisite French dinner, and Miss McFetridge will be so enchanted that she cannot but yield to his suit.. \ So at the beginning of Act II, we find Phipps in his office awaiting the arrival of the poor young innocent. His hair is brushed; hip nails are clean; he has new leather patches on his elbows. There is a knock on the door. He opens it and admits a gorgeous creature with blue eyes and pink kneecaps. PHIPPS: Ah, Miss McFetridge. Come m, my dear. Won't you sit down? Cigarette? Miss McF: Ooh, Philip Morris! I think they're marvy, don't you? PHIPPS : I do indeed. Miss McF: Hey, prof, would you mind opening a fresh pack? | PHIPPS: But I just opened this one a little while ago. It's perfectly fresh. A Miss McF: I know, prof, but I like to hear the snap when the pack opens. | PHIPPS: Very well, my dear. ,„,.,. ,, • , ,. (He opens a fresh snap-open pack of Philip Moms. Miss McFetridge claps her hands delightedly when she hears the snap.) Miss McF: Hey, that fractures me! Man, I flip when I hear that crazy snap! Do another one. PHIPPS: All right . . (He snaps open another pack of Philip Moi~ris) Miss McF: (Ecstatically) Isn't that the living, breathing end? Do tovo at once. PHIPPS : Well, if you insist. . \ (He does two at once) Miss McF: More! More! PHIPPS : I'm afraid that's all I have. Miss McF: Oh . . . Well, what's up, prof? What did you want to see me about? PHIPPS: Oh, nothing in particular. Just wanted to have a little chat, find out how you're, enjoying the Shakespeare lectures. § Miss McF: I don't know, prof. By me Shakespeare is strictly;.-a square. PHIPPS: Indeed? Well, I must say I find your attitude refreshing. One is so inclined toward slavish admiration when it comes to the Bard. People forget that in many quarters Shakespeare is regarded • quite critically. Take, for example, the opinion of Shaw. MISS McF: Artie? PHIPPS: George Bernard...You know, of course, his famous words. MISS McF: I sure don't, dad. PHIPPS : Shaw said he would like to dig up Shakespeare and throw stones at him.. MISS MCF: Did he dig him? PHIPPS: No, I don't believe so. Miss MCF : I don't dig him either. PHIPPS: (Looking at watch) Good heavens, I had no idea it was 20 late. Come, my dear, I'll drive you home. MISS MCF: NO, thanks. I always walk home. It's good for the circulation in your legs. I got the best circulation in my legs of the whole sophomore class. Ever notice how rosy my knees are? PHIPPS : As a matter of fact, yes . . . Look, you sure you don't want a ride home? There's an excellent French movie on the way. MISS MCF: Not me, dad. I hate French pictures. The sub-titles always, disappear before I can read 'em. But if you want to go to the movies, there's a new Tony Curtis picture downtown — a real gut-buster. Tony plays this beggar, see, but he's really a prince only he doesn't know it on account of his sneaky uncle who switched babies when Tony got born. Then Tony finds this magic lamp, see, and he gets into the palace where he meets this crazy girl, only she's engaged to the fake prince, but then they have this mad sword fight, and Tony licks about a million guys, and then he finds out he's the prince and it's real crazy. Wanna go? I've only seen it three or lour times. PHIPPS: As a matter of fact, I just remembered a previous engagement. Sorry. MISS M C F : T,hat's all right. Thanks for the Philip Morris. 'Bye. (Exit Miss McFetridge. For a moment Phipps sits in stunned : silence, mopping his brow. Then a smile appears on his face. He is a happy man again—out of love. Contentedly he lights up a Philip Morris.) ©Max Shulman, 1954 This column is brought to you by the makers of PHILIP MORRIS who think you would enjoy their cigarette. Intramural Sports Chatter By Larry Conner Intramural Sports Writer This is toy final story for The Plainsman; barring floods, earthquakes, and revolutions, I'll be off for Pensacola next month. I'm leaving just as Auburn approaches the biggest intramural basketball season'in'its history. Between 75 and 100 teams are expected to participate in the inaugural season of 1 the new and expanded intramural basketball program. Independent entries are already higher", than last year's total, and more are coming in every day. Coach Evans would like to have all independent entries by December 10, so the schedule can be drawn', up, and the shooting can start as quick as possible after Christmas. Magnolia Hall and Church • League rosters are due December 10 also. other sports set Basketball is not the only item on the winter quarter agenda. Bowling, volley ball, and ping pong are scheduled for the fraternity leagues, and ping-pong will also be on the Church league menu. Independent bowling is scheduled for the spring quarter. The 1954 intramural football season, while short on games, was long on action. The teams that took home the trophies earned that right the hard way. The Buckshots simply over- ' powered their opposition as they captured the independent title for the second straight year. Wesley Foundation came through their abbreviated season with a perfect 3-0 record to wrap up the Church League Crown. Div 52 wins , Div. 52 walloped Div. E. 31-12, in the Magnolia Hall championship game. Yeilding and Williams each scored twice for the '52's, arid Schuessler racked up both touch- TALKING OVER GRIDIRON experiences they've had during the past four years on the Plains are three of the Tigers' seniors, Dave Middleton, Jack Locklear, and Bobby Freeman. This activity took place in the joyful Legion Field dressing room after the Plainsmen had finished their 28-0 rout of Alabama. All these lads had exceptional days against the Tide. ' ' ""*' Player Of The Week Bobby Freeman The subdued Red Elephants of Alabama gave out first-hand notices Saturday night that Bobby Freeman,is the most quarter-ggggss back they've encountered in quite some time. Playing his final regular season game in Tiger togs, # the Decatur boy, who likes to win, all but junked the Tide's hopes by himself. He lugged the leather 13 times for 96 ground, yards, and hit Plainsman receivers f i ve times on seven passes for 64 yards. He entered the Tide end zone three times, once on a sneak from the one, another on a 41-yard jaunt around right end, and a third on an off-tackle run from the three. Never before have the supporters of Auburn football seen "The Goose" play such inspired ball. When the Bobby Freeman Legion Field clock ran out and registered the final story—28-0, the statistics told the 1954 Freeman story. / ' Bobby's name was topmost in the total offense department in the SEC with a massive 1,132-yard production for the season. Possibly the aggressive field general's best run against Bama Saturday failed to net him and the Plainsmen a TD. This offensive gem occured after he had hit Fob James with an aerial that spotted the pigskin on the Tide 25. » "Goose" then took the snap from center, went back to seek a receiver, couldn't find a soul in the clear, and then began to sift through would-be Bama tacklers like sand through screen wire. When he was finally pulled earthward he was clutching the ball on Alabama two-yard stripe as the clock ran out on the third period. It took Joe Childress but one thrust to add a half dozen Plainsman points to the cause. downs for the runnerup Div. E. ATO scored a thrilling 6-0 victory over Phi Delta Theta in the last minute of the final, playoff game to become fraternity champions of 1954. Theta Chi edged out Sigma Chi for third place in the final standings. In Church League bowling it looks like B.S.U. mowed 'em down. In closing I would to leave you with one parting thought, the friends that we make through participation in intramural sports are worth far more than any trophy.

'• Nine of these marks to fall were team records, and the remaining three were chalked up by individual standouts Bobby Freeman, Joe Childress, and Jim Pyburn. The team records to be eclipsed by the '54 Tiger squad were: (1) Most first downs — 174 (old record—150 in, 1953) .: - ^#2) 'Spit: net.:, yards rushing Champion Matmen Begin Campaign In Lexington Today Coach "Swede" Umbach's. all-conquering Tiger matmen are in Lexington, Va., tonight for a round-robin wrestling meet with V.M.I., Davidson, and Marshall College.

Playing on a star-studded pound class, and Al Myers, 177- pound class. Coach Umbach also has George Hammond, Max Rosenberg, and Vic Maldonado standing by for action. This year's round-robin match has one change over the 1953 battle. Emory University has been replaced by Marshall. In the '53 affair, Auburn emerged victorious, trouncing Davidson, 32-0; Emory,. 36-0, and edging the Keydets of V.M.I., 16-11. 7—TtiE PLAINSMAN FrL, Dec. 3,1954 team which includes former SEC standout, Jimmy Lear, Ole Miss stellar quarterback of 1952, and many other college performers, Spence has seen action as both a field general and a punting specialist. The Generals ran through a 10-game schedule with only a single tie marring a perfect record. In 1952 on t h e Plains, "Deadly" Dudley ably filled in at the quarterback slot when Vince Dooley was removed from the Ole Miss game with an injured knee. He continued at the field general post for the remainder of the campaign, and led the conference in punting, and in passing percentage. Against Wofford that year the McComb, Miss., boy tied an all-time SEC passing mark when he completed 11 consecutive tosses, 3 of which were good for touchdowns.

Tickets can be purchased at the game for 25 cents and the presentation of the ID card. Faculty tickets will cost 75 cents and student wives and high school student tickets will be priced at 50 cents.

Miami smashed Florida's Cotton Bowl hopes with a 14-0 triumph. It was the first vic- . tory away from home for the Hurricanes since 1950, which happened to be the last time that Miami won in Gainesville. Tech looks bad Georgia did everything to Georgia Tech, but beat them. The Bulldogs held the Jackets to a total of only 73 yards, and completely bottled up Tech's much publicized Jimmy Thompson. The "Bessemer Bullet's" longest gain was 3 yards, but the score was still 7-3. Ole Miss rolled into the Sugar Bowl on the strength of a 14-0 conquest of Mississippi State. According to reports, the Rebels were assured of a bid if they were only able to keep the score close, but Vaught's men made sure of things by scoring twice in three minutes. Alabama suffered their worst defeat of the year. Auburn riddled the Tide defenses for 360 yards rushing and'66 passing. The Tigers maae it look easy as they swamped Drew's crew 28-0.

The race is; scheduled to get under way in front of the Field House at 3:30 p.m., with Council of Dean's excuses being granted to participants who will miss any classes after 3 p.m. The race is a 2.7 mile crosscountry run, in which all able-bodied freshmen are required to participate. The winner will receive a trophy, a kiss from Miss Auburn, a cake and various prizes donated by Auburn merchants^ , The first 25 runners to cross the finish line will be awarded cakes. The fraternity having five pledges with the lowest number of points scored will'be granted 100 points toward the all-sports trophy.

Each runr ner will be given a tag on which he will print his name and sponsoring* organization. This tag will be attached to the front side of Dean's Vote: 'No School Saturday' The Council of Deans has voted to not have classes on Saturday, Dec. 4, as was previously announced. Dean Roger Allen, dean of the School of Science and Literature, stated that the council voted to rescind their previous decision because of several factors. "After school was closed for one and' a half days during the acute water shortage, the council voted to make up a full day on Saturday, Dec. 4," stated Dean Allen. ' "Now," he continued, "the deans, have reconsidered, and feei that because of the cbntinu-. ing water shortage, and the question of many students and faculty on which day was to be made up, that it would be wise not to schedule classes" this Saturday. Dean Allen also stated that the fall quarter has two more days in it than each of thej other two quarters," and the coming examinations were also factors in the •dean's decision. the right shoulder — any runner finishing the race without a tag wili^be disqualified. Runners will be led by a car Carrying Miss Auburn, Augusta York, Birmingham. All participants must follow the car and stay on the; street without cutting corners. The race was begun by Wilbur Hutsell- in *1929, when the track c&aeh. found himself short of talent. In an effort to locate unknown speedsters he originated the idea of a race for all freshmen. ODK decided to sponsor the event the next year and since that time the "Rat Race" has become an Auburn tradition. Overton holds record • Whitey Overton, Auburn's great Olympic runner, .holds the record for the course with a time of 13 minutes and 46 seconds. Bill Ifarbrough, Decatur, won- the event last year. • The Cake Race course . begins in front of the Field House, goes past the Library and makes a left turn on College Street. It continues past Toomer's corner to the College service station, where a right turn is made onto Glenn Avenue. t\— ' , ' ; The runners go down Glenn to the second stop light then bear right to Magnolia Avenue, where another right turn is made up the hill. Turning left into Gay Street at the Methodist Church, the course continues until aright tiirn^ is made at .Samford Avenue. ' From there it winds past the Kappa Alpha house, between the Forestry.. Building- and the president's mansion and oh down to the Animal Husbandry Building. The' runners then turn right down Cary Street, going west of the baseball field and into the gate of the stadium to finish on the track.

This first performance took place^ in Langdon Hall, and the chorus of 65 was made up largely of professors and their-wives. Soloists had to be imported, since ihere were no singers available in Auburn. There was no orchestra, so the accompaniment was played on the piano and the electric organ. Since the construction of the ' Student Activities Building the "Messiah" has been presented there and each year has grown into a larger production. The 31 choral selections of this oratorio will be sung by some 200 Auburn students with accom-painment by the API Symphony Orchestra. During the decade of "Messiah" performances here at Auburn more than 15,000 persons have attended and it is expected that approximately 2,000 persons will attend this tenth anniversary occasion on December 7.

WALTER COLLINS Pyburn, Childress Named To MSEC Grid Eleven By AP Auburn's Jim Pyburn and Joe Childress were picked on the 1954 Associated Press All-SEC team Wednesday in a poll which honored only two repeaters from-the '53 mythical squad. .Pyburn and LSU's giant tackle, Sid .Fburnet, were, the only stars to come back and daiiS a spot on the first team. Pyburn polled more votes than any other performer honored. Alongside Childress, there are two of the country's finest-runners and a top-flight quarterback teamed up in the person of Tennessee's Tom "The Bomb" Tracy, the Vol's running demon, Mississfppi State's Art Davis, the lad. who scored a quartet of TD's against LSU, and Kentucky's dextrous quarterback, Bob Hardy. The dynamic forward wall averages 202 pounds and a shade over 6 feet per man, and has speed, drive, and great ability to make the quick charge on offense. Paired off with Pyburn at the other end is lanky Henry Hair of Georgia Tech, and the other tackle spot is filled by Ole Miss' Rex Boggan, a Marine returnee. ' At the guards, Tech's Franklin Brooks and Vanderbilt's Bobby Goodall give the squad an excellent blocking and sure-fire tackling duo, while at center Hal East-erwood replaces Larry Morris after the Tech star's two-year tenue at the pivot. Easterwood, a Mississippi State standout, was named "Lineman of the Week" in the nation after his performance against Alabama.

It's Auburn vs Baylor In Gator Bowl By Ed Williams Plainsman Sports Writer For the second year in succession the Gator Bowl'Comm i t t e e has chosen A u b u r n for i t s annual post-season classic, and once more a strong Texas t e am has been picked to oppose the Plainsmen. This year's opponent will be Baylor of the Southwest Conference. Last January 1 the Tigers fell to Texas Tech's Red Raiders 35- 13, but this time things should be different. Still Baylor is not an outfit to be trifled - with. The Bears completed the season with a 7-3 over-all record and were 4-2 in conference play. They finished third in the SWC, but they missed the championship by only the narrowest of margins. Waco boys fall Arkansas took the boys from Waco by a 21-20 score early in October, but up until their last game, they still had an outside chance of tying the Porkers for the'' crown. Ironically enough, it was Rice that finally smashed the Bears' championship hopes. The Owls also beat Baylor in the final game of the 1953 season to deny them the title. Baylor holds 'victories over' Houston, Vahderbilt, Washington, Texas A&M, Texas, Texas Christian University and South- • ern Methodist University. Probably the most important of these was 33-21 conquest of S.M.U. The Mustangs seemed headed for the Cotton Bowl after upsetting Arkansas, but Baylor stopped them cold in a wide open thriller. Coach Qeorge Sauer prefers the split-T attack and has molded a mighty football machine around quarterbaik Billy Hooper's passing and halfbalk T. G. Dupre's running. The Bears placed three men on.the All Southwest Con-fei- ence team. faced common foe Auburn and Baylor have faced only one common foe — Miami. In a night game in the Orange Bowl, the- Hurricanes edged Baylor 19-13, while, as we all know, the Tigers surprised Miami 14-13 in the daylight. The Plainsmen should get a little larger cash return out of this year's Gator Bowl. The game has been switched to December 31, so that there will be a better chance of selling the TV and radio rights. It also seems fairly certain that the SEC will forego their 25 per cent share of the proceeds. Last year after the conference got their cut, Auburn barely broke even.

(Reading time: 45 seconds) Here Don Garland makes noise distribution measurements with a Level Distribution Recorder My job is to help solve problems of noise and other interference on telephone lines due to power interference. Inductive co-ordination is the technical term for the work. "First thing the Chief Engineer explained to me was that 'all the answers aren't in the book.' He was right. Most of the problems have required a combination of electrical engineering, a knowledge of costs and generous amount of ingenuity. / like it that way. It's given me an immediate opportunity to put into practice the theory I learned at school. "In addition to this on-the-job experience, I have attended several special training courses conducted by the company.

Smoke £>rmorepurepleasure A'Real* Football Team LffftTMAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Biblcr To say the very least, Auburn is proud of the 1954 edition of its football team. We feel that no team in the South can match, the current team of Coach "Shug" Jordan. We confess to a deep sense of disappointment when our fine team was overlooked for the Cotton Bowl; and we still think that Cotton Bowl officials made a bad mistake in taking Georgia Tech over our Plainsmen. In this case their loss is the Gator Bowl's gain. But the disappointment has now .subsided, and we look forward with much anticipation the coming conflict with Baylor in the Gator Bowl. As Auburn journeys to Jacksonville for the second straight year, many sports scribes and coaches say that no team in the entire South can field a first eleven any stronger. Yet, the Golden Bears of the Southwest Conference have different ideas. They feel as though the 21-20 defeat they suffered from Co.ttpn Bowl-bound Arkansas was not an indication of their team's strength. So you can count on a whale of a game come December 31. According to Associated Press results, the Gator Bowl game is now listed as the third strongest post - season encounter. AP indicates that the Rose Bowl, with Ohio State and Southern California, "and the Sugar Bowl, pitting Ole Miss against Navy, are the two strongest bowl games. The Auburn - Baylor conflict is supposed to be third. Actually, The Plainsman can't see' that the Rose Bowl can boast of any better game than the Gator. Ohio State is ranked No. 1 in the nation, with Southern Cal given 17th spot. Our argument is that Auburn is 13th nationwide and Baylor is 18th, Common sense would lead one to the decision that we have formed. As the official season closed, eight Auburn seniors played their last regular game. Such stars, as Jimmy Long, Dave Middleton, Bobby Freeman, George Atkins, Jack Locklear, Al Brame, Jim Hall, and Ted Neura will be sorely missed in next season's encounters. A consolation in the departure of these eight is the fact that they have played on one of the finest Auburn teams in the long history of the game here: Old-timers have scratched their heads in amazement at the feats of 4hese boys. Many of them confess defeat when attempting to compare them to stars "of the good ole days." The Plainsman can think of no more fitting way for these seniors to cap off their college football days than with an impressive victory over Baylor with the whole country (via television) looking on. On The Auburn Band The Auburn band deserves tremendous credit for its efforts during the entire year, - and especially during the football campaign. Day after day band members practice, knowing that very little reward will be forthcoming. In many cases the only justification they receive is knowing that they are a very important part of Auburn, and that functions such as football games would lose much appeal if the band w&s absent. J Bandmaster Herbert and his entire band have done an excellent job in this football season. They have presented half-time shows that have done themselves and their schqol credit. We are proud of their showings. . HUMPH .. ;; .We feel that too often the band is~^9jten for granted and students don't appreciate it as they should. Scholarship-wise the band is completely left out. As far as this paper knows Auburn's band doesn't offer a single scholarship. Yet, they manage to keep pace with bands in which many scholarships are given and band members paid. The Plainsman knows there is enough "loose money" in obscure places to offer at least two band scholarships each year. The Concessions Board, which handles all profits the school receives from campus vending machines, could establish a number of band scholarships.

This paper would oppose a move to use any part of the student activity fee for scholarships £o deserving high school graduates. Responsible persons should rally to the cause. Where's The Trophy? The winner of. the Auburn-Alabama football game each year is permitted to control the coveted Qmicron Delta Kappa Trophy. Auburn grid elevens have justified our keeping the trophy only two times, in, the past seven years, including the recent victory. Yet, DDK hasn't seen fit to get the magic article. It still remains in the hands of the losers. It would seem to the casual observer if you desire something very much and finally won it, you would hardly neglect to go get it. The DDK Trophy should be presented to the winner of the game immediately after the battle, not sometime during the basketball season. Convenience is not a factor. Responsible persons haven't seen to it that the trophy was secured. We haven't been able to get it often, so when we do win, let's pick up the spoils, huh! Safety Month Continues "No More Accidents—No More Injured —None Killed" is the slogan for the Campus Drives Committee's safety month. In this last issue of The Plainsman for the quarter, we urge students to do their utmost to make this slogan stick. We hate to read of students being involved in wrecks.. . » • The Disciplinary Board has set a pre-cident to dismiss any student from Auburn who is involved in an accident while drinking. Several students have already been dismissed. Just drinking is bad enough, but driving and drinking is inexcusable. Our student body has been known for some time as a traveling group. This, plus an unavoidable trip home and to the Gator Bowl, will make it even more possible for students to be involved in wrecks. Only by very careful and safe driving can we hope to escape serious accidents. Last year alone, 38,300 motor vehicle accident deaths were recorded in the United States. Many of these deaths occurred during the Christmas holidays. Some of them enroute to post-season bowl games. We hope that Auburn students won't' go beserk under the wheel and drive carelessly. For only by driving with care can we all hope to return to API. * Just Ain't No Justice* By Ronafd Owen To coin a phrase, "There just ain't no justice," especially as far as Auburn's football team and bowl games are concerned. When the best team in the Southeastern Conference doesn't get a bid to one of the major bowls the situation is approaching the ridiculous. Maybe it's going to take a few years for the bowl officials to wise-up apd admit to themselves,that Auburn is, a football power. Maybe it's going to •take an all«out. effort along lines of public relations to impress these people. (They appear to be susceptible to such tactics.) At any rate, just having the best, and flashiest, team in, the conference isn't enough. Three early season losses -didn't help Auburn's cause any when final consideration was being given. However, in this year of upsets the Plainsmen emerged with as good a record as any SEC team save Ole Miss. True, Auburn lost to Georgia Tech, 14-7—however, that was earlier in the season. That was also the Tigers last defeat. After losing to Tech Auburn mowed down six tough opponents in a row. The two most significant wins were the 14-13 victory over previously unbeaten Miami and the 35-0 trouncing of league leading Georgia. The finishing touches to a fine season were added last Saturday as Auburn ran wild, over the Tide 28-0. Clemson coach Frank Howard said, after losing to the Tigers 27- 6, that Auburn was the best team his men had played all season. That included Maryland and South Carolina, to mention a few. Red Drew of Alabama, said essentially the same thing last Saturday, his list of opponents including Georgia Tech and Miami. Visiting football authorities compared the fiery Plainsmen favorably with such teams as Ohio State, Oklahoma and UCLA, the top teams in the nation. Statistics bear the critics out, for Auburn took a lion's share of the honors when final season figures were released. Quarterback Bobby Freeman was first in total offense, Joe Childress was first in individual rushing and in scoring, and Jim Pyburn was first in pass receptions. Sports writers of some state papers suggested that maybe Auburn was too great for their own good. Rumors have it that except for the desention of the Arkansas coach, the Tigers would have been in the Cotton Bowl easily. Oh, well, better years lie ahead. Auburn is definitely on the way up the ladder to football fame. But it's sure is a shame to see this wonderful array of talent shunted on New Year's Day. A team like this year's doesn't come every season for Auburn. Nope, there just ain't no justice. Bouquets & Brickbats Hire The Wife Out?

Wisconsin Reader Writes About Gretchen Dear Editor: I have been an avid reader of The Plainsman for the past four years and have at times have been amused at the editorial page and, likewise, disgusted; but never have I been so sickened as I,was on November 12 when Messrs. Owen and Teem found it necessary to write a cheap imitation of "Dragnet" using the strangulation of poor Gretchen as a theme. I am not usually one to criticize the "freedom of the press" but in this instance I deem it necessary to call to the attention of the two examples of manhood in question that DEATH does not occur for the amusement of humanity, especially when administered in such an inhuman manner. I sincerely believe that the so-called "officer of the law" found guilty of this act should be relieved of his badge. There is no excuse for the use of brutality when it becomes necessary to annihilate an animal; the Small Animal Clinic would administer a painless anesthetic if called upon. Too, may I remind the officer (and I use the word loosely) that poor Gretchen was not responsible for being a "stray;" that was the fault of the "human" population of Auburn. I am sure she would have made an appreciative pet to anyone doing the humane thing of just inviting her. Bouquets to the students who were considerate enough to bring food and kindness into the life of the late Gretchen, and Brickbats to the "cop" (thrown fast and furiously) who found it sporting to strangle one of man's best friends. In closing may I say that, if the 0 backlog of amusing editorial .material of Messrs. Teem and Owen has been so depleted that they find it necessary to use DEATH as a subject, may I suggest that they" relinquish their space in The Plainsman to a more deserving writer, or a page copied from some current joke book. Sincerely yours, Nell C. Albert Madison, Wis. Alumnus Writes Poem Commemorating Victory Dear Editor: This poem was written by Willis Merchant '24, 'after the game Noyember 27. We think it's good enough to be printed in The Plainsman. The twenty seventh of this November Is a day that Auburn will long remember For the mighty Tide — it marked the day When it slowed to a trickle then faded away. Cheerleader Replies To Column Criticism Dear Editor, Last Wednesday an editorial appeared in The Plainsman which was entitled "Cheering Section Impolite." In the article it gave special attention to the yell, "We've go Howard worried" and the editorial implied this yell was started by the cheerleaders. This is not true. This, particular yell was started in the stands and when several thousand people start a yell you can't stop them. This would be hurting the spirit of the crowd when we do lead a yell. Booing can be controlled but the other is hard to control. Besides this minor point that I have just mentioned, someone who was standing near Coach Howard (Clemson Coach) said he took it with a smile and said, "You're right, they really have got me worried." The thing that upset me most in your editorial was your statement that we were yelling, tt$- drown out the other cheering see,-:, tipn. I assure you that not ever has that been the slightest reason for our yelling. We yell because we have something to yell for— not to drown out anyone. If you remember, almost every time at the FSU ball game, their band would play and never did it enter my; mind or the mind of any member of the cheerleader squad that they were playing to drown us out. The best time for us to lead a yell is during a time-out because we can get the crowd's attention;, therefore, we yell at the time we * feel it is best. If "we have given this impression to you, any member of the Auburn Student Body or Clemson's Student Body, we sincerely apologize, for this was not our intention. During the football season the cheerleaders meet every day at 4 p.m. at the stadium. We would appreciate and would listen! with utmost attention to any constructive criticism or suggestions anyone has. Yours for a.GREATER Auburn, Buddy Jacobs Head Cheerleader As the sun over Legion Field slowly sank, Jordan got "28" but Red Drew a blank. There was also a turning point against 'Bama in this game.

Willis Merchant Class of '24 By Red Provost Married students are often faced with gross financial difficulties. Student wives (a singularly noble breed of women) often take it upon themselves to alleviate some of the distress, and do so through diverse means. One may find student wives in the roles of secretary, chairwoman, lady wrestler, fishwife, door-to- door encyclopedia saleswomen, stock car racer, rubber band inspector, BB-staoker, etcetera. But my wife runs a clandestine "ad-vice- to-the-lovelorn" service. No doubt there are those among you to whom this comes as ho surprise, and ,to who invaluable" advice has come when sorely needed. One particularly poignant epistle arrived last week — on worthy of public attention. To wit: Dear Linda Neare,. I am 10,-years old and my mother tells me I am too young to be in a family way and I told her I didn't know what she meant but the doctor at Lee County Hospital said the same thing. Jimmy is 12, and he says I am not in a family way, but I don't trust him because he is responsible and he won't marry me but that isn't what I wanted to tell you about. What really hacks me off is my mother says I ,am too young to use lipstick and wear hose and how am I going to get anybody to dance with me at the Valentine party if I don't wear lipstick and hose and my mother won't let me dance anyway? Hacked. Off Dear Hacked Off, Yours is a problem which will require understanding on the part of your mother, your father, your step-neighbor-i*£law, Eldred, me, your teacher, yourself, your cook, the boys at the Valentine party, and Hazel Bishop. The only advice I can offer is to keep your chip up, keep smiling, and keep your dues to the Battle Buzzard Lonely Hearts Club paid up. Yours in the bond, L. N. It is heartening to note that new members are drifting to the Battle Buzzard Lonely Hearts Club, and already the muster sheet includes such celebrities as Sally Paddicker, discoverer of excess gastric acidity and other phenomena, ,and Fred /the now-famous crwthist), and me. Advice To The Lovelorn Henry: "That good looking blonde sure laughed at my gags. Did you see her bust out?" Lee: "No, darn it! I was sitting behind her." By Cramer Robinson and ., "' ] Bill Teem Plainsman Lonely Hearts Editors A survey taken at Auburn recently, shows that there are definitely two different sexes present on the campus. According to Doctor Kinsey, Ph.D„ Indiana, and Mother Nature, Lu,V., Figleaf U., these species occasionally show a slight attraction for one another. Lately, support of this theory has been evident on the Auburn cam- \ pus. Careful thought will reveal that this presents a problem. Herebefore The Plainsman's policay has been rather lax in aiding the emotional stresses and strains encountered by young lovr ers. Therefore, we feel rthat it is our duty to assist these perturbed young people in • solving their problems by offering them sound advice on problems of a romantical nature.

You need our aid if your problems run something like these: Dear Carmer and Bill, I have a problem. I am editor of the most obscure publication on campus. I can't reveal the name, but it rhymes with Beethoven's Sonata. Although this alone is quite a problem, my complaint today concerns girls. In my work I am surrounded by dozens of beautiful young coeds. Naturally they are awe-stricken by my greek-god feature? and my bubbling personality.

I am conscientious, and would like to perform my duties unmolested by these fighting females. Girls call me all during the day and night, clamoring for my company and demanding dates. On several occasions I have been ambushed during innocent strolls across the campus. Just the other day a curvacious coed dropped from a tree onto my back, screaming for an autograph or something. But, I am a busy man, and have no time for these gregarious females. I am paid a fabulous salary and am furnished with assistants, automobiles, free copies of The Plainsman and otherwise live a normal life. In spite of my handsome frame, my desire to edit a passable publication is the supreme interest in my life. How can I rid myself of these persistent females? Signed, Frustrated Editor Dear -Frustrated Editor, At a time like this it ' takes courage. Try to maintain a cool, level head in your hour of distress. You must act like a man in your surroundings. Attempt to suppress your pronounced inferiority complex and try to see yourself as others see you. However, please realize the impact your life has on the Auburn female population. Be calm and resourceful, but by all means be ambidextrous. Try to do both jobs at once. If this doesn't work, we would be glad to relieve some of the tension around you. Dear Lovelorn Editors, I am young and handsome; this is not my problem. My father is a multi-millionaire, and I, myself, am independently wealthy; this is not my problem. I- have a different colored Cadillac convertible for every day in the week; this it not my problem. Since starting to school at Auburn, I have made a straight "A" average; this is not my problem. Coeds flock around me as if I played the piano; this is not my problem. Recently I met the cutest little freshman on the campus and she fell madly in love with me; this is not my'problem. I have a date with her for the biggest party of the year tomorrow night; this is not my problem. Today I received a shipment of twenty custom-made charcoal-grey suits from my tailor in New York; this is not my problem. Editors, I just don't know whether to wear pink or helio with charcoal tomorrow night; this is my problem. Signed, Worried Dear Worried, Our sympathy, indeed, is strongest to the underpriviliged. In your •case may we suggest that your conscience be your guide. Pink was originated by flying elephants and has been a fad ever since. T Helio, equally as alluring, was first known to be, used on South Africa fly swatters so your choice, either way. will be a good jpne.

Inexperienced persons are urged to use the utmost caution in using the tools. Plans for projects, and instructions on "how to" may be acquired from the library. "The students may leave their projects in the hobby shop overnight, but we do not assume responsibility for them.

Surrounded by a bevy of feminine typists and filing clerks, Bill started his class section and met the January 1 dealine, 50 days early. In reorganization, John had to meet and conquer the problem of stale write-ups of the organizations. He has tried to make this large amount of copy descriptive, yet fresh and readable.

College Next to The Grille \ Plainsman Cagers Set for Opener With Strong Hilltoppers By Bill Hutto Plainsman Sports Editor A new, fresh sport takes the spotlight on the Plains tomorrow night. Basketball comes in with a bang, and forces "King Football" to take a back seat as Coach Joel Eaves shows off his brand new 1954-1955 Auburn cagers to. the Birmingham- Southern Hilltoppers and to the fans in the Auburn Sports Arena. , Following the varsity tilt, the Plainsman freshmen entertain Southern-Union, a scrappy outfit from Wadley. The Hilltoppers arc the first team to face the Tigers as they launch a heavy holiday schedule that carries them into battle against Jacksonville State^Teach-ers College on December 11, and then on to Montgomery for the Blue-Gray Tournament December ^ HUTTO Plainsman Sports Editor . Tigers Get Second Straight Foe From Lone Star State In Gator Bowl Get those Baylor Bears! That was t h e c r y echoed around this bustling town Tuesday afternoon when word was confirmed that the Gator Bowl committee had p a i r e d t h e P l a i n s men with a power from the Lone Star State for the second straight y e a r/ The players, the coaches, and everyone in the Village were pleased with the committee's action. Members of the squad swarmed into the Field House when they got whiff of the big news. The majority of the boys knew nothing about Baylor except that they have a 7-3 record, (the same as the Tigers') that they tied with Rice for third place in the Southwest Conference race, and that in final Associated Press poll they finished 18th, five notches below the War Eagles. "Let's go and find out something about these Texans," one said. "I want to. know what we're up against." Athletic Director Jeff Beard and Publicist Bill Beckwith spent most of their time Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with a phone receiver on their ear as did Coach Shug Jordan. This was a time-involving negotiation, and numerous phone calls were included In the transaction. T— Coached By Ex-Navy Mentor The Golden Bears are masterminded by a 1934 Nebraska graduate, George Sauer, who came to the Waco, Texas, institution after a tenure at Navy, Kansas, and New Hampshire. The last Baylor aggregation he led into a post-season classic was his powerful 1951 squad which fell to Georgia Tech in Miami's Orange Bowl 17-14 on New Year's I\aj^5,2.. If., you recall correctly, thai was the year Tech quarterback -Pepper Rodgers lofted a field goal far and true in the wanilp£secpnds ..to submerge this. Larry Isbell-inspired Baylor team. The spearhead of this 1954 Golden Bear team has been for the most part a quarterback named Billy Hooper. Against Texas, this scampering young Texan scored both of the TD's as the "Big Green" chalked up a 13-7 triumph in Wa»o. . The theme seems to be "As Hooper's passing arm goes, so goes Baylor." Last week in their 20-14 loss to powerful Rice, the Owls bottled up Hooper's passing game and, it turned out to be what the doctor ordered for Coach Jess Neely's crew. Other moving forces in the Bear's thunderous split-T attack have been Halfback L. G. Dupre, and Del Shofner, a fiercely competitive sophomore who was instrumental in the booming 33-21 win over Southern Methodist. This Baylor victory killed the Methodists' chances of parsing Arkansas in the conference title race. — Game Moved Up To 31st With the game being pushed up to December 31 this year instead of New Year's Day, and with nation-wide video coverage pending the Tiger-Golden Bear clash should give this republic's grid fans a football game they won't forget for quite a while. We know what our Plainsmen can do on a football field. We saw them streak through their last six games without a blemish, and without a sign of slowing up. The' line had no peer anywhere, and the backfield was regarded by many as being the best in the long history of the Tigers. Certainly, last week's adjective-attracting win over Alabama stands as the greatest one accomplishment turned in by Shug since he took the reigns in 1951. It can be said without a single eyelash-batting that it was one of the best ever for Bobby Freeman, Fob James, and Joe Childress. Jim Pyburn was busy all afternoon making life miserable for Bobby Luna and the other Tide backs. On two straight plays Luna rambled over into Big Jim's (no kin to Mrs. Folsom's boy of Cullman, fame) territory, and found himself in considerable trouble. The first time, he was thrown for a 3-yard loss, and the second time for an 11-yard deficit. How anybody can leave this 185-pound package of dynamite off their All-America team is beyond the reasoning of the thousands of loyal Alabamians whd have watched him play. —Tigers Give SEC Three Leaders Pyburn, Childress, and Freeman were the conference leaders off this great Auburn team. The glue-fingered Pyburn paced the SEC in pass-receiving with 28 catches good for 460 yards (a new school record) and four touchdowns. The Jolter led conference rushers as he lugged the leather for 836 yards on 128 tries; an average of 5.6 yards a carry. . Freeman, the boy with ah indescribable will to win, became the third player in Auburn history to surpass the 1000-yard total offense mark as he ran and threw for 1132'yards; tops for the "Dixie Dozen." Admittedly, this Tiger eleven is one of the very best in the nation, and on thesq pages of THE PLAINSMAN we'd like to extend our best wishes on behalf of the student body and people of the state, to Coach Ralph Jordan, the members of his staff, and to the entire team in their holiday venture in Jacksonville. — Eaves Unveils Cagers Tomorrow Coach Joel Eaves and his Plainsman basketeers have their "coming out" party tomorrow night in the Sports Arena, and it looks from here like the team has a good spirit as they launch, their campaign to fill the big gaps left by the graduation of the backbone of the 1953-1954 crew, Bob Miller, Jack Turner, Bill Fickling, and John Cochran. , These boys comprised four of the five starting berths on last year's team, and their loss will be deeply felt. Coach Eaves says; that the scrappy bunch of boys out this year are dead set on plugging up those holes though, and they've shown a great desire to do so. Conference hopes right now are not too bright, but the likes of Bill Kirkpatrick, Jim O'Donnell, Jim Diamond, Gordon Mum- •mert, and Henry Sturkie are ready to prove otherwise. We'll take the Tigers in their Birmingham-Southern tilt tomorrow. 17 and 18. In the first round in this Coliseum attraction, they tangle with the Generals of Washington and Lee, while Tennessee and Miami square off. From the" Capital City the Tigers return to the Loveliest Village January 5, for a clash with Howard in the Sports Arena. Coach Eaves indicated early this week "Our boys have improved a great deal since we first started readying ourselves for the game with Southern, but the real standouts . have been Forwards Jim O'Donnell, Jim Diamond, and Guard Bill Kirkpatrick. These boys have made great strides toward obtaining the polish they'll need in order to spearhead a winning attack." Eaves also commented that the squad's lack of height will be a tremendous handicap in the building of an aggressive cage unit. has strong team Southern has a strong team with all but one of its regulars from last season returning to action. The Tiger captains, Kirkpatrick, the spunky ball-handling wizard from Surgoinsville, Tenn., and O'Donnell, the ex-Marine, with the quick reflexes and the drive and agressiveness of a battle-tested veteran, give the Plainsmen the experience so necessary in anchoring the up-and-coming' cagers around. O'Donnell is from Hack-ensack, N. J. Sophomore Guard Henry Sturkie, the fast-breaking Gadsden product, is also a tested performer in Eaves' machine. His stellar freshman season last year gave Tiger supporters plenty to Chirp about. three vie at center At center, veteran'Gordon Mum-ment, Kay Slayden and" Mack Lee have been,putting on quite a scrap for the starting berth. Against the Hilltoppers, a lot will be heard from little Byrd Whigham also. A deadly set-shot exponent, this Louisville native played his first year last season, and was also a big gun in the potent attack of Dick McGowen's Tiger baseball squad. Standing only 5'7" above the floor, Whig-ham is as keen a competitor as the Plains people have seen in quite some time.

Tigers Finish 7-3 Season By Trouncing Bama 28-0 By Bill Hutto Plainsman Sports Editor Employing a pulverizing ground attack that floored a game Crimson Tide from Alabama, Auburn's Freeman-ted Plainsmen downed the Capstoners 28-0 Saturday on the muddy turf of Birmingham's Legion Field. With quarterback Bobby Freeman engineering his great-test game and running the option Ivith almost evil deftness, the Tigers turned loose all their jguns in registering their sixth conseoutive win. . . Freeman dealth off the top, middle, and bottom of the deck as he called, on Hoppy Middleton, Fob James, and Joe Childress to perform the wrecking duties for Shug Jordan in the amiable mentor's finest hour. no more scoring The Tigers' passing attack greatly contributed to the breaking of the Elephant's back with All- America End Jim Pyburn, Fob James, and Jim Hall all collaring long passes for gains which set up the Tiger marches. The Plainsmen were brilliantly guided in their attack by a peerless Freeman, who was closing out his colorful Tiger career in spectacular style. He personally accounted for three of the four six-pointers, and in general experienced his most action-packed day since he began putting on Tiger pads back in 1951. With 12 seconds remaining in the initial quarter, the 195- pound Decatur boy rammed over from the one with the first Auburn score.

Tide's back broken That was all the Villiagers could do scoring-wise until the second half when Freeman took the opening kickoff and returned it 11 yards to the Auburn 25. Childress picked up 19 and Middleton added 4, and "The Goose" turned on the steam with a 41-yard "keep" play around right end, which carried him right on into the Tide promised land. Third scoring honors went to the Jolter himself, Joe Childress, the fullback who runs over, around, and"under you. His was a piercing thrust through left guard from two yards out with guard Chuck Maxime throwing a strong and vital shoulder into Corky Tharp to pave the way. Childress added the third of his four extra points and the Plainsmen prevailed 21-0. Freeman rapped the afternoon's scoring parade up with 9:18 r e maining in the contest.

Phipps doesn't know how to go about courting Miss McFetridge, for, after all, he is a professor in the autumn of his life, and she is a coed with rosy knees. Professor Twonkey, who shares an office with Phipps, proposes the following plan: Phipps will ask Miss McFetridge to come to his office for a conference late in the afternoon. He will be urbane and charming and make frightfully witty remarks about English lit, and Miss McFetridge will laugh and laugh. After an hour of this high-type hilarity, Phipps will look at his watch, exclaim at the lateness of the hour, and insist on driving Miss McFetridge home. On the way home, he will pass a theatre that shows French movies. They'll see the movie, then have an exquisite French dinner, and Miss McFetridge will be so enchanted that she cannot but yield to his suit.. \ So at the beginning of Act II, we find Phipps in his office awaiting the arrival of the poor young innocent. His hair is brushed; hip nails are clean; he has new leather patches on his elbows. There is a knock on the door. He opens it and admits a gorgeous creature with blue eyes and pink kneecaps. PHIPPS: Ah, Miss McFetridge. Come m, my dear. Won't you sit down? Cigarette? Miss McF: Ooh, Philip Morris! I think they're marvy, don't you? PHIPPS : I do indeed. Miss McF: Hey, prof, would you mind opening a fresh pack? | PHIPPS: But I just opened this one a little while ago. It's perfectly fresh. A Miss McF: I know, prof, but I like to hear the snap when the pack opens. | PHIPPS: Very well, my dear. ,„,.,. ,, • , ,. (He opens a fresh snap-open pack of Philip Moms. Miss McFetridge claps her hands delightedly when she hears the snap.) Miss McF: Hey, that fractures me! Man, I flip when I hear that crazy snap! Do another one. PHIPPS: All right . . (He snaps open another pack of Philip Moi~ris) Miss McF: (Ecstatically) Isn't that the living, breathing end? Do tovo at once. PHIPPS : Well, if you insist. . \ (He does two at once) Miss McF: More! More! PHIPPS : I'm afraid that's all I have. Miss McF: Oh . . . Well, what's up, prof? What did you want to see me about? PHIPPS: Oh, nothing in particular. Just wanted to have a little chat, find out how you're, enjoying the Shakespeare lectures. § Miss McF: I don't know, prof. By me Shakespeare is strictly;.-a square. PHIPPS: Indeed? Well, I must say I find your attitude refreshing. One is so inclined toward slavish admiration when it comes to the Bard. People forget that in many quarters Shakespeare is regarded • quite critically. Take, for example, the opinion of Shaw. MISS McF: Artie? PHIPPS: George Bernard...You know, of course, his famous words. MISS McF: I sure don't, dad. PHIPPS : Shaw said he would like to dig up Shakespeare and throw stones at him.. MISS MCF: Did he dig him? PHIPPS: No, I don't believe so. Miss MCF : I don't dig him either. PHIPPS: (Looking at watch) Good heavens, I had no idea it was 20 late. Come, my dear, I'll drive you home. MISS MCF: NO, thanks. I always walk home. It's good for the circulation in your legs. I got the best circulation in my legs of the whole sophomore class. Ever notice how rosy my knees are? PHIPPS : As a matter of fact, yes . . . Look, you sure you don't want a ride home? There's an excellent French movie on the way. MISS MCF: Not me, dad. I hate French pictures. The sub-titles always, disappear before I can read 'em. But if you want to go to the movies, there's a new Tony Curtis picture downtown — a real gut-buster. Tony plays this beggar, see, but he's really a prince only he doesn't know it on account of his sneaky uncle who switched babies when Tony got born. Then Tony finds this magic lamp, see, and he gets into the palace where he meets this crazy girl, only she's engaged to the fake prince, but then they have this mad sword fight, and Tony licks about a million guys, and then he finds out he's the prince and it's real crazy. Wanna go? I've only seen it three or lour times. PHIPPS: As a matter of fact, I just remembered a previous engagement. Sorry. MISS M C F : T,hat's all right. Thanks for the Philip Morris. 'Bye. (Exit Miss McFetridge. For a moment Phipps sits in stunned : silence, mopping his brow. Then a smile appears on his face. He is a happy man again—out of love. Contentedly he lights up a Philip Morris.) ©Max Shulman, 1954 This column is brought to you by the makers of PHILIP MORRIS who think you would enjoy their cigarette. Intramural Sports Chatter By Larry Conner Intramural Sports Writer This is toy final story for The Plainsman; barring floods, earthquakes, and revolutions, I'll be off for Pensacola next month. I'm leaving just as Auburn approaches the biggest intramural basketball season'in'its history. Between 75 and 100 teams are expected to participate in the inaugural season of 1 the new and expanded intramural basketball program. Independent entries are already higher", than last year's total, and more are coming in every day. Coach Evans would like to have all independent entries by December 10, so the schedule can be drawn', up, and the shooting can start as quick as possible after Christmas. Magnolia Hall and Church • League rosters are due December 10 also. other sports set Basketball is not the only item on the winter quarter agenda. Bowling, volley ball, and ping pong are scheduled for the fraternity leagues, and ping-pong will also be on the Church league menu. Independent bowling is scheduled for the spring quarter. The 1954 intramural football season, while short on games, was long on action. The teams that took home the trophies earned that right the hard way. The Buckshots simply over- ' powered their opposition as they captured the independent title for the second straight year. Wesley Foundation came through their abbreviated season with a perfect 3-0 record to wrap up the Church League Crown. Div 52 wins , Div. 52 walloped Div. E. 31-12, in the Magnolia Hall championship game. Yeilding and Williams each scored twice for the '52's, arid Schuessler racked up both touch- TALKING OVER GRIDIRON experiences they've had during the past four years on the Plains are three of the Tigers' seniors, Dave Middleton, Jack Locklear, and Bobby Freeman. This activity took place in the joyful Legion Field dressing room after the Plainsmen had finished their 28-0 rout of Alabama. All these lads had exceptional days against the Tide. ' ' ""*' Player Of The Week Bobby Freeman The subdued Red Elephants of Alabama gave out first-hand notices Saturday night that Bobby Freeman,is the most quarter-ggggss back they've encountered in quite some time. Playing his final regular season game in Tiger togs, # the Decatur boy, who likes to win, all but junked the Tide's hopes by himself. He lugged the leather 13 times for 96 ground, yards, and hit Plainsman receivers f i ve times on seven passes for 64 yards. He entered the Tide end zone three times, once on a sneak from the one, another on a 41-yard jaunt around right end, and a third on an off-tackle run from the three. Never before have the supporters of Auburn football seen "The Goose" play such inspired ball. When the Bobby Freeman Legion Field clock ran out and registered the final story—28-0, the statistics told the 1954 Freeman story. / ' Bobby's name was topmost in the total offense department in the SEC with a massive 1,132-yard production for the season. Possibly the aggressive field general's best run against Bama Saturday failed to net him and the Plainsmen a TD. This offensive gem occured after he had hit Fob James with an aerial that spotted the pigskin on the Tide 25. » "Goose" then took the snap from center, went back to seek a receiver, couldn't find a soul in the clear, and then began to sift through would-be Bama tacklers like sand through screen wire.
