The annual Ping-Pong tournament,
sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., will
begin next Saturday, November 9.
P. H. Alsabrook, chairman of the
committee in charge, announced to­day.
Many students are expected to
participate, according to "Y" offici­als,
and they voiced the opinion that
The 1930 annual will be the largest
Glomerata ever published and will be
characterized by humor throughout,
according to Charles F. Davis, Jr.,
Editor in Chief of the Glomerata. He
stated that many of the plans for the
annual have been completed and that
much progress has been made in the
work.
The new annual will be 9 x 12
inches and will have a printing space
of 6 x 9 inches as compared with the
5 x 7 inches printing space of last
year's annual. The editor explained
that the increased size will permit
the use. of larger and more distinct
cuts and will add much to the at­tractiveness
of the edition. More
space will be contained in two pages
of the new annual than were former­ly
contained in three pages.
The student activities section will
be enlarged so as to contain views
of as many phases of college life as
possible. Snapshots of the dances, the
freshmen, the dramatic club perform
ances, the military activities, the in­itiations,
the summer camp, the col
lege hike, the parades, and the vari
ous fraternity groups on special oc­casions
which are of interest to a
large portion of the student body will
be included in the student activities
section. It is estimated that approxi­mately
40 pages will contain the
snapshots and the staff aims to make
them as humorous as possible.
Pictures of the men for whom col­lege
buildings have been named will
be placed by views of the buildings
which have been named in honor of
them. The pictures will also include
those of the men for whom the build­ings
which have not been built yet
have been named.
The editor promises larger and
more distinct pictures of the fra­ternity
members in the fraternity sec-
RATS GIVEN FIRST SETBACK
BY STRONG GEORGIA ELEVEN
Auburn's weakness in overhead attack told on her this
afternoon when the Red and Black freshmen snagged pass after
pass of Auburn and raced for the largest gains of the game.
The unusual ability of the Georgia rats to intercept passes was
the deciding feature.
In t h e first quarter, when both teams were battling on even
t e r m s , Georgia intercepted an Auburn pass and carried the ball
over for the first tally. Later in the same period Mott of Geor­gia
intercepted another pass and the Bulldog eleven bucked it
over for another score. In the second quarter Mott snatched a
pass from Bassett of Auburn and raced 60 yards for a touch­down.
The fourth and last t a l l y of the game came as a result
of a 40-yard run by Hardin after he had intercepted a pass
from Parker to Hitchcock.
Auburn played heads-up football, making more first downs
than Georgia, but her only threat to score was thwarted by the
strong Georgia line. Game ended, score 25-0 in favor of Georgia.

Another football matinee will be
iven in Langdon Hall on Saturday
fternoon at two p. m. by the Au-urn
Band.
It has been the policy of the band
is year to sponsor football mati-ee
in order to raise funds; there are
-rtain articles that the band must
urchase, and the matinees have
een one of the few means to get
loney.
The band officers expect the stu­nts
to support the matinees; the
d has always lent itself to all
dent activities, especially mass
eetings, and the musical organiza-
_o.n expects help from the student
jay.
?The band has sponsored two other
latinees this year; reports of the
'emson and Vanderbilt games were
iven.
Prizes will be offered as follows:
first prize $2.00, donated by Bur­ton's
Book Store; second prize $1.50,
donated by Askew's Shoe Shop; and

Dr. Knapp Has Full
Schedule for Week
Will Go to Knoxville to See Auburn-
Tennessee Game
Dr. Knapp left for Birmingham to­day
in connection with the building
program of Auburn. He also in­tends
to go to Knoxville to visit
friends and to see the Tennessee-Au­burn
game.
Citizens of the Smith Station com­munity,
near Opelika, were the audi­ence
of a speech by Dr. Knapp on
Tuesday night.
He spoke on the farming program;
it is said that he brought out many
thoughts which shoujld prove very
valuable to farmers in their plans
for crops.
Dr. Knapp was introduced by M.
F. Whatley, an Auburn graduate of
1929. The scene of the speech was
the agricultural school at Smith's
Station.
Dr. Miller Passes Away
In New York Hospital
Was Beloved Member
Faculty for Many
of Auburn
Years.
Dr. Emerson R. Miller, well known
member of the faculty, died at a hos­pital
in Rochester, New York, early
Thursday morning. News of his death
was received in a telegram to Pro­fessor
C. L. Hare.
Dr. Miller's connection with Au­burn
began 34 years ago when he
came here to establish the school of
pharmacy. With the exception of a
few years spent as head of the ex­periment
station of the Republic of
Cuba and in graduate studies in
American and German universities,
Dr. Miller remained continuously
with the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute.
After ten years as head of the
school of pharmacy he went to Cuba
from which position he returned to
become experiment station chemist.
Three months ago he was given leave
of absence by President Knapp in
order to go to Rochester for medi­cal
and surgical treatment. His
death was not unexpected.
His wife preceded him by a few
years and was buried at St. Paul
Minnesota, where his remains will be
interred. The couple had no children.
CHEMICAL HONORARY
FRAT SELECTS THREE
All Three Students Are Study­ing
Chemical Engineering
Three students in chemical engin­eering
received bids yesterday from
Gamma Sigma Epsilon, honorary
chemical fraternity. J. D. Atkins, sen­ior,
of Mobile, C. R. LeCroy, senior,
of Maplesville, and L. F. Camp, jun­ior,
of Moreland, Georgia, were
those selected to membership.
This honorary society was found­ed
for the purpose of promoting high
scholarship atid fellowship among
the students of chemistry, and to
bring together students in chemistry
who have attained high grades and
have shown ability along chemical
lines.
Gamma Sigma Epsilon was found­ed
at Davidson College in 1921; the
Auburn chapter, Delta Alpha, was
established in 1923. Two elections
are held each year, one in the fall,
the other in the spring.
The pledges are easily identified;
they wear test tubes containing blue
and white powder tied with blue and
white ribbons around their necks.
V. L. Taylor Addresses
S.A.M.E. Tuesday Nite
Drive for Increase in
Launched
Membership
A description of the new highway
bridge under construction at We-tumka
was the theme of a talk given
Tuesday night by V. L. Taylor at the
weekly meeting of the Society of
American Military Engineers. Taylor,
who is president of the society, told
of the new methods of construction
which are being used on the bridge.
A drive for an enlarged member­ship
was launched, and all members
of the Engineer R. O. T. C. unit are
invited by S. A. M. E. officials to at­tend
the regular meetings which are
held from seven to eight o'clock on
Tuesday nights.
Plainsmen Are Feted
In Torchlight Parade
A spirited send-off to Knox­ville,
for the Tennessee game,
was tendered the varsity foot­ball
team Thursday night, when
Auburn students staged a torch­light
parade to the depot to see
the team depart.
Incidentally, it was the second
torch-light parade of the year,
and the first departure the team
has made since Coach John
Floyd assumed the duties of Act­ing
Head Coach.
Following the usual custom
the students assembled at Lang­don
Hall, and at about 7:40, the
parade, with the band leading,
was started.
A long line of students, many
with torch-lights, made the
march down College Street to
the station. A unique torch was a
flaming "A" which one student
carried. The band played college
airs during the parade.
After arriving at the station,
yells were given and marches
played until the train arrived.
After the team had boarded, the
train pulled out while the band
played "Glory, Dear Old Au­burn,"
and the students cheered.
The trip to Knoxville was
made via Atlanta.
This parade was an acclaimed
success, and it is probable that
another will be given when the
team goes to New Orleans for
the Auburn-Tulane game next
week.

B. S. U. Convention
To Benefit Auburn
The Baptist Student Union is meeting in
Auburn this week-end and is attracting
from colleges in all parts of the state ap­proximately
two hundred and fifty young
men and women who are interested in Bap­tist
church work. Prominent men from all
sections of the South are to be here as
speakers on the program which will also
include speeches from several prominent
local men. The Baptist Student Union of
Alabama meets for three years in various
towns in Alabama, and every fourth year
meets with the Student Unions of the oth­er
Southern states.
These meetings are held to bring the
students together for the purpose of fel­lowship
and inspiration. While it is a de­nominational
affair and only includes those
who are Baptists, yet it has a greater
significance than the mere bringing togeth­er
of the Baptist students in the various
colleges. This movement is another step
in the forming of the young people of the
nation into one great brotherhood, the
brotherhood of Christianity, for after all
it is not the road we take nor the path we
pick that is of importance in life; it is our
ultimate aim, the fact that we recognize
and have faith in a surpreme being, that
counts. Any movement which has this for
its purpose is worthy of the highest com­mendation.
These young men and women coming
here are from some of the finest homes in
Alabama and are going to carry away with
them a lasting impression of Auburn and
A. P. I. While they are here it is the duty
of every student to do all in his power to
make their stay pleasant by giving his
fullest cooperation. The fraternities have
cooperated by offering several of their
houses and it is up to the student body to
follow this lead by helping individually.
A n o t h e r Chance
To Show Loyalty
The athletic situation in Auburn has
been in the limelight for some time, the
climax being reached with the change in
the coaching staff eariler this week. Some
have felt that a change was necessary for
the team to function properly, while others
are of the opinion that very little good will
come from the action of the authorities.
Athletics seem to play a very big part
in the life of the ordinary student at this
institution as well as in the welfare on the
college itself. Eyeryone is dreaming of the
time when he can sit in the grandstand
and watch the team go galloping down the
field at the expense of her chief rivals,
and when affairs are such that the team
cannot achieve this dream, there is a gen­eral
feeling that the team, the coaching
staff, and all connected with the team are
no good. A change is demanded, and usual­ly
made.
It is destressing to see that normal col­lege
students and alumni are so mentally
inert and blind that they cannot make a
true analysis of a situation, and give praise
where it is deserved. The coach, recently
deposed, has done more for Auburn ath­letics
than anyone in many years even
though he failed to put a winner on the
gridiron field. The influence of his sys­tematizing
and enlarging the athletic
scope at this instiution will be felt for
many years; his dream for a stadium will
inevitably bear fruit very shortly. But
many alumni and students cannot see this
side of his duty.
A general feeling of satisfaction has en­veloped
the students since the new coach
assumed his post. We hope this will be­come
a trend toward giving more loyal
and undivided support by the students,
friends, and alumni. Some of the meddling
methods of outsiders could be appreciably
omitted. We want to urge the students par­ticularly
to do all in their power to stand
behind the team and offer aid and en­couragement
where it is needed.
The success of the team depends on
more than its ability alone; the student
body must show its loyalty by encourage­ment
rather than criticism.
Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsman—
I was very much grieved to learn, from
one "Aaron Billowheel" in a column of
your last issue, that the "Cajoler is a rath­er
tottering publication to date," or words
to that effect. Being only the editor of the
magazine, I had heai'd nothing of it. If
our Mr. "Billowheel" happens to have sub-subscribed
and is afraid that he isn't go­ing
to get his other six-bits worth, we will
gladly refund his money.
It has long been the universal idea on
the campus that the Cajoler is tottering.
I would like to correct that idea once and
for all. Last year it WAS tottering. Next
year there will probably be no Cajoler.
This year it is as steady as the permission
of the college authorities to publish it un­der
the name of the college makes it. It is
financially stabilized this year, the material
is coming in, and the circultation is good.
As for next year, I might say that neither
myself nor the business manager gives a
rip whether it comes out or not, and we are
the only ones concerned. The college au­thorities
do not care whether it comes out,
in fact they rather hope it won't. The stu­dents
are not interested in getting it out—
only in reading it, and Johnny Buttram
and I have no lingering sentimental inter­est
in it after our graduation.
The kind- word given by your columnist
regarding the enormous task of editing the
humor magazine was deeply appreciated.
He did not hit the nail on the head, how­ever.
The chief task is not to reconcile the
sense of humor of the college authorities to
that of the students. That requires mere­ly
a sense of humor, a sense of decency,
and a lean pocketbook. The chief task is
in writing, arranging, printing, proofread­ing,
and financing a magazine with prac­tically
no support from the student body,
and in the face of continued published
statements to the lead sheep that the maga­zine
is tottering. Try it some week-end
when you haven't much to do.
. So if the men who see the Cajoler tot­tering
will kindly lay off for the rest of
this college year, we will pass gently off
the scenery with diplomas under our arms,
God being with us, and the magazine will
cease to come out. Then they can come out
in headlines two inches high: I TOLD YOU
SO! and everybody will be happy. And for
the rest of this year, we will get the
"slightly less ambitious" (and slightly less
foolish, if Mr. Billowheel will consider a
financial investment of something over
$1,500 of any consequence to two boys in

The Gecko
I'm the Gecko who likes to argue with
my professor. It gives me a real pleasure
to engage him in an argument. I know that
he is far better educated along the lines
I am trying to talk to him about than I
am but I believe in showing him how lit­tle
I know about it by trying to trip him
on something.
Then the others in the classroom see
how much I know. I may not know any­thing,
but they are under the impression
that I do. In short, when I talk to the in­structors,
I am hiding my ignorance. That
is the only thing I am able to do. These
courses are just too hard for me, and since
I can't learn anything from them, I must
make a show somehow or other. So I take
up my classmates' time as well my instruc­tors'
in an effort to get around the main
issue.

The athletic situation is, of course, a
matter of very deep concern. I have a few
thoughts which I would like to inject into
the minds of the student body and friends
of Auburn. One- is
that no good will
ever come of a lot of
gossiping and specu­lating
and working
up of feeling for
this, that, and the
other candidate for
position of head
coach. I have had
recommendations al­ready
regarding men for head coach from
persons in whose judgment I have no con­fidence
whatever. I am fair enough not to
let that count against a man, but it shows
poor judgment. In the second place, I
think we better go slow and consider the
matter with a great deal of care. I do not
propose to be rushed into the task of mak­ing
a selection hurriedly and then regret
it afterwards. Third, we are in the midst
~of the season and it is a mighty poor time
to do too much selecting. Already busy
tongues have been wagging and have done
some men a very considerable injustice. I
wish we might realize that the main thing
that Auburn needs to do is to stop trying
to decide these matters by agitation and
the working up of feeling. I wish every
alumnus and every one connected with Au­burn
would sit back and try to rest a lit­tle
bit and not get too excited. I do not
expect to be able to wave a magic wand and
have a victorious team which will take the
championship of the Southern Conference
next year. It can't be done, but I do think
we can make a good showing provided we
can begin to get that unity of spirit, con­fidence,
and loyalty which are absolutely
necessary on this occasion. I have seen
pieces in the paper already which have had
no foundation of facts. They have had me
doing things, even saying things, which I
have never done or never said. This is a
good time for sober, earnest thought.
* * * * *
In the meantime the team has a great
job on its hands, and I want to say that
John Floyd has a tremendous task and de­serves
the support and loyalty of everyone
connected with Auburn. It was a big thing
to ask him to take up this burden in the
middle of the season. I think the team likes
him, but it will not do for us to get over-ambitious
or over-confident when we have
such a stiff schedule ahead. If we can be
sufficiently courageous and brave to go
forward and make a good showing of a
fighting spirit these next four games, I
shall be satisfied. Our squad out on the
field needs the courageous help of every­one
there is in Auburn and all Auburn's
adherents. They have not had it in the
past. The whispering words of criticism
have broken down faith. You and I have
found that the thing can't be done that
way. Wouldn't it be wiser to try to do it
another way? The team needs spirit. Let
us try to surround them with the spirit
which will engenger their spirit for these
contests.

I have reports regarding deficiencies on
my desk. There are about three sides to
deficiencies. First, they are heaviest al­ways
in the freshman year because stu­dents
have not yet adjusted themselves to
college life and to the control of their own
application or concentration on the real
task their college work. Second, they are
partly the fault of the student for other
reasons such as cutting classes, failure to
become interested, and so on. Third, I
think men on the faculty ought to take
part of the responsibility back upon our
own shoulders. The student situation is a
challenge to the teacher. Sometimes these
deficiencies may in reality be a deficiency
on the part of the teacher, and I think
faulty instructors need to realize that we
are all human and subject to mistakes, and
that nine times out of ten the man who has
the right kind of a fine personality, is a
thorough master of his subject, and
has the capacity to interest the student
in the subject will generally have
mighty few deficiencies in his class. So we
have two sides to this deficiency problem—
one side of the student which is very, very
important, but also the other side and that
is the challenge to the faculty to make
every effort to decrease these deficiencies
themselves. There are two points of view
in the minds of most teachers. One group
gradually permits themselves to be put
over in the attitude of setting up the bar to
prevent the student from getting through;
the other group is composed of those who
realize that our chief task is to educate
men and women and that the prevention
of failures is after all one of the problems
facing us. I do not mean to take the ex­treme
in either direction. What we need is
the salutory middle ground. The incapable
student, of course, must fail, but let the
failure rest entirely on his own lack and
not the lack on the part of the teacher
himself. Every man who ought to get

GIRLS BUILD SORORITY HOUSE
Girls at the University of Maryland built
themselves a sorority house, laying the
brick and moving steel beams themselves.
Professor Watkins, faculty architect in
in charge of construction said they could
have built their house entirely by them­selves
if they had so wished.
Up there the women are so hot tempered
their first reaction to a pile of brick is to
throw one. at the biggest man in sight.
And as for steel beams, moon beams, and
beaming expressions even more damaging.
After all, the only difference between now
and when this country belonged to the
Indians is that it wasn't the squaws who
painted up and went on the war path.

RAT SENSE
Here comes a new one from Columbia
University, concerning Freshman registra­tion
day:
Well do we recall one bright statement
made by a Frosh after the notation, "Give
Full Name." He wrote, "Same name wheth­er
full or sober." The University officials
are still hunting high and low for him. He
was last reported seen passing the Statue
of Liberty at a fast pace. Another darling
wrote "Pa and Ma" where it asked for pa­rents'
names. It's too bad they all couldn't
be born with the wisdom of Sophomores,
but that you know, comes with years of in­cessant
toil.

WHY BOYS LEAVE HOME
Probably this will settle forever that
question of "why boys leave home." They
probably go to college to play the saxo­phone.
No? well, here's what the lads are
doing at the Northeastern University of
Massachusetts; forming a saxophone band.
The band will consist of fifteen saxo­phone
players, two or three drummers, and
a pianist. "Piccalo Pete" don't have a
"dog's chance," does he?

committee has been appointed to make ef­fective
the ruling that no student can be
bid, pledged or initiated into any fraterni­ty
or social sorority without the consent of
the faculty. This ruling applies to honorary
as well as social organizations. The com­mittee

At Birmingham Southern recently, the
little angels in shorts carried off the ma­jor
art of the honors of the Soph, election,
the president, vice-president, secretary and
treasurer of the Soph, class are co-eds. It's
better to have voted and lost than to have
not voted at all. (Bullski).

WHY NOT
The University of Arkansas has a star
half back named Means, whose favorite
pastime is throwing forward passes.
Means to an end we would imagine. Which
reminds us of what a leading manufactur­er
has to say about "pigskin" in connection
with footballs. He says that a football can
not be called a "pigskin" because it is
made of cowhide and never was made of
pigskin.

WHAT
And here is the difference between a
college gentleman and a cigarette lighter.
The cigarette lighter is so hard to get lit.
Which calls to our attention the fact that
our "corn" is much more satisfactory since
the house-boys have all joined the church.
Their preacher is more than likely well
educated along these lines.

RICE NAMES STRONG TEAMS
Grantland Rice says:
"The list of strong looking football
teams is longer this season than it has
been for years. With no intention of offer­ing
a complete list of those hard to beat
will include Stanford, University of South­ern
California, Pittsburg, West Virginia,
Princeton, New York University, Army,
Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Notre Dame,
Georgia Tech, Florida, Tennessee, Harvard,
Navy, and Carnegie Tech."
Three of these teams are on the sche­dule
of Washington and Lee this season.

ATHUNDEROUS roar of the drums
and a clash of the cymbals. Now!
Coach Bohler resigns. Much whisp­ering
and awe inspiring talk. The drug
store coaches holding full sway. The pessi­mist
shouting I told you so. The students
feelings a group of strings strung to the
utmost tension. The bull artist playing
these strings for a maximum volume of
noise and discord. A great deal of wailing
and gnashing of teeth. The whole world
is all wrong for a great many of the stu­dents.
Auburn's football God has been
taken from his pedestal and the halo from
his head. Many long faces that remind one
of yard sticks and deep mourning. This is
Auburn's present student body. Why? The
institution was not created for a football
team. I have not noticed any deviation
from the regular procedure in the class
rooms. The lectures are going on just
the same and are just as good. Then your
little football God is not entirely mutilat­ed.
The team will finish its schedule.
Who expected our team to be a cardinal
threat in the Southern Conference this
year, anyway? To build on Coach Bohler
had nothing but a losing varsity and a
freshman team that played only in the im­mediate
proximity of the realms of medi­ocrity.
One can't pick up a Sears, Roebuck
catalogue and order a winning football
team. You might console yourself by the
fact that the team is on rock bottom and
can not build any way except upwards. In
the construction of any modern structure
the beginning is started towards pande­monium
and continued"thus until rock bot­tom
is reached; then the fcnnstruction is
started toward the celestial he^'hts. Well,
we have reached rock bottom in the con­struction
of our football structure and now
must build upwards. As the Ag student
would say "hold your potatoes" until the
little football God can build himself some
steps upon which to ascend to his glamor­ous
throne.
In these days and times there seems to
be a tendency for a great number of our
good people to expend their honest en­deavors
in glory seeking. Too many are
trying to climb the glory tree and sit there
at the top midst the applause of the crowd
at least for a few short precious moments.
Auburn students are not adverse to this
glory seeking. The football team provides,
at least, a medium for them to reflect some
of this glittering glory light. Providing we
had a great football team they could sit
around the home fires and say "we" won
the championship and intimately discuss
the various heroes; thus basking warmly in
the glory light. You know like the little
one just out of rompers who said, "We
killed a bear—Papa did." Well, it is too
bad that in present football history the
stars cost five dollars a pound and papa
hasn't any money to buy shells with which
to shoot the bear.

AGERMAN has completed a work on
the World War that is considered
very good by the critics. The work
is known as "All Quiet On The Western
Front". The German is Erich Maria Rem­arque.
This book is now available at our

into the warfare from the German
trenches. Some of the experssions, beinsr

SONG AT SANTA CRUZ
re there lovers in the lanes of
Atlantis:
3ting lips and twining fingers
the mild Atlantis springtime?
How should I know
Ithere were lovers in the lanes of
Atlantis
lien the dark sea drowned her
mountains
Many years ago?
/ere there poets in the paths of
Atlantis:
Eager poets, seeking beauty
To adorn the women they worship­ped?
How can I say
If there were poets in the paths of
Atlantis?
For the waters that drowned her
mountains
Washed their beauty away.
Were there women in the ways of
Atlantis:
olish women, who loved, as I do,
earning that mortal love was
deathless?
Ask me not now
there were women in the ways of
Atlantis:
here was no woman in all her
mountains
wonderful as thou!

WASHINGTON CITED AS
"NATIONAL BAROMETER"
Washington, the capital of the
United States, is the barometer of
the nation, recording the tempera­ment
of the American people, ac­cording
to Charles Moore, chairman
of the National Committee of Fine
Arts and author of the new story of
our national capital, "Washington
Past and Present," which has just
been published by The Century Co.
"The unprectdented prosperity of
the country," Mr. Moore states," is
marked not only by a great expan­sion
in public, semi-public, and pri­vate
building, but also in an ever-increasing
spirit of pride in the na­tional
capital and determination to
make it expressive of the aspirations
as well as the power and wealth of
the nation.
"This ideal actuated those who
planned the capital. It was lost sight
of for three quarters of a century,
during the period when the very ex­istence
of the nation was at stake.
Yet always there were devoted ones
who kept the faith and followed the
gleam. Following upon civil war came
rapid expansion, but so much was re­quired
in civic economics that little
attention could be bestowed on the
amenities.
"With the beginning of the sec­ond
century of national capital life
came the impulse to plan for a re­mote
but assured future. Unity, or­derliness,
and beauty once more be­came
the watchwords. Then in the
wisdom of the Fathers of the Repub­lic
was found the incentive as well
as the justification of new plans
based upon the old ones.
"This new book, 'Washington:
Past and Present,' is an endeavor to
interpret those new plans in the light
of the past; to recall the struggles
of successive generations, there suc­cesses,
their discouragements, their
perserverance, their present position
in the midst of rapid changes, tHeir
hope for the future. The future is
assured. The question now is one of
steadiness, of sobriety, of obtaining
permanent satisfaction.
"Washington is a city to be enjoy­ed.
Living is easier here and has more
satisfactions than any other city in
this country to offer to the stranger
within its gates. But it is also a city
of radical changes in personnel."

Sigma Pi Freshmen
Enjoy Social Evening
It was indeed the "Rats" supreme
night when Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Goode entertained with a most novel
and entertaining Stag party in hon­or
of the pledges of the Sigma Pi
Fraternity on Thursday night.
The upper classmen entered at the
back door and were met at the front
by the Freshmen who then had them
sit on the floor while they occupied
the chairs. They were entertained by
a debate to decide who was the
"goofiest" member of the fraternity.
The "Rats" then had a chapter
"meeting" much to the amusement
of the upperclassmen.
Later in the evening, they were en­tertained
with several musical num­bers
and candy, sandwiches and cof­fee
were served.

Twenty-Four Tigers Off
To Knoxville for Game
With Tennessee Eleven
By Dick Jones
Coach Johnny "Stoopdown" Floyd,
with the assistance of Wilbur Hut-sell,
pulled out of the "Plains"
Thursday with two dozen Auburn
Tigers. Coach Floyd took up the du­ties
of Bohler this past week and is
taking the Plainsmen to battle the
strong University of Tennessee
eleven. This will be the first game for
Floyd to act as head coach at Au­burn.
Coach Floyd also carried the
hustling manager "Preacher" Smith,
and his red headed assistant man­ager
George Washington Smith.
"On to Knoxville" was the slogan
of the Tigers as they boarded tHe
north-bound train Thursday night.
On account of it being such a long
trip they had to leave early. Knox­ville,
Tenn., will be their headquart­ers
and they will probably see a
slight workout there Friday after­noon
in order to get use to the change
of atmosphere.
Floyd has been drilling the Tigers
on the correct way to pass and block
passes, more than anything else
since this seems to be the main weak­ness.
He divided the scrubs and
varsity and had the scrubs mostly
scrimmaging and the varsity punting
and passing. Coach Floyd" gave the
varsity some new passes this week
and they have been working to a per­fection
in the moclc battles. Richard
Wible, from Cloverdale High and
only a Sophomore back, has been in
thre "limelight" of the running and
tossing of "fee oval all week. Also Joe
Burt, who has been" Shifted from ^
guard to an end, has shown up well
at pulling the pigskin down out o£
the ozone. Burt is heavy an/-£uiit
close, to the ground,^ J y f not too
close to make^Kyd- a "whale-of-a-
|[ood^,J£nkrrtan. It would not be at
all surprising to see the Tigers show
a great deal of extra strength with
their new passes against the Volun­teers.
They have already made a fair
showing with them so far this year,
but have failed to get them down to
a perfection.
Porter Callahan and "Lefty"
Prim, who turned in their uniforms
three weeks ago have returned to the
grid field to start work under Floyd.
Callahan reported Thursday and
Prim is expected to put in his appear­ance
when the Tigers return from
Tennessee. Callahan was Alt. Cap­tain
of the team this year before he
turned in his uniform, so since Craw­ford
has been elected to take his
place, he will probably not take up
his same duties. Callahan is a Senior
this year and has. promised to give
all the strength he has to help Au­burn
make a good showing for the
rest of the season. Callahan will al-

Dick Jones Announces
Intentions to Award
Prizes for Best Articles
Grady Long is another Senior who
is performing for his last year in an
Auburn uniform. Grady is a reliable
guard on Coach Floyd's Tiger team,
and for three years he has been a
consistent and earnest player. Long
has two illustrous brothers, who also
performed for Auburn. The older
brother, "Big Shorty," graduated with
the class of '27, and was one of King
David's main strengths in the line.
The other brother is none other than
our peppy Captain, "Little Shorty."
Grady entered the course of Secon­dary
Education in the fall of '26, and
he is now a Senior. He is quite a
leader in campus activities, being the
cadet Lt. Col. of the R. 0. T. C. unit
and a member of honorary frater­nities.
Dick Jones, Sports Editor, intends
to give prizes each month to the man
that shows the most interest and
greatest ability in Sports writing.
One award has already been made and
the next one will be given some time
in the middle of November.
At the Plainsman banquet held last
week those awarded prizes were A.
C. Taylor and Rhodes Wasson. The
intention of Jones is not to give two
prizes each month but the work of
these two men were such that a decis­ion
could not be made between them.
The awards were enameled plates with
a gold A on them, and are to be used
as watch charms.
The decision of the winner each
month will be made by A. V. Blanken-ship.
Jones states that he is going to
try to win one of these prizes him­self.
This has stirred up a great deal
of enthusiasm among the sports writ­ers
and a great deal of improvement
has been noted in this work.
GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE
= — — By PERCY VAL = = = = =
The rejuvenated Gators from Gainsville, Florida eliminated another
team from the Southern Conference race Saturday, when they^dfiiarfvely
defeated the Georgia Bulldogs. Playing the same^-brand "of football that
Tech displayed against them the previous -Saturday, Coach Bachman's
team ran up a score of 18 to 6, * h i e r ^ furnishing quite an upset in the
sporting realm. Geoi^ja-'ojj'ned the game with the kind of football that
won against. X a l e plff North Carolina, however, obtaining a break, ear-lyj-
mthe secoiaJqiiarter, on Cawthorn's 60 yard punt, and Chandler's miser­able
retu.ifi'paved the way for a Florida touchdown. The plunging Bethea
&££nTnting for the first touchdown, and the hard driving of Captain Caw-thorn
and Crabtree's passing were responsible for the remaining two. How­ever,
Georgia would not admit defeat, and with their pass work clicking
for the first time during the game, registered a touchdown in the fourth
quarter. The Georgia offense failed to function as it has previously done
this year, and suffering from the loss of Waugh and Quarterback Downs,
the Bulldogs were not at their best. On the other hand Florida's All Amer­ican
aspirants put aside their own thoughts of glory, and played for the
first time of the year with a precision and cohesion necessary for a win­ning
team. x
Playing before the most pictures­que
assembly of the year, in a setting
that was typical Southern, the Tulane
Green Wave completely submerged the
Golden Tornado before it could as­semble
its elements into a resisting at­tack.
The game opened seemingly as
though it was to be another Tech
victory. However, Tulane's unherald­ed
line held the Tornado on Tulane's
16-yard line for downs, and commenc­ed
to display her fireworks. Tulane
displayed a passing attack, combined
with excellent running by Banker and
Armstrong that was unbeatable. The
Greenies made their first touchdown
in the first quarter by a determined
march down the field, a pass from
Armstrong to Holland placed the ball

in the Promised Land. The second
touchdown also resulted from a pass,
Armstrong to Baker, and the third
one was made in the second period
by Armstrong. After failing to make
a touchdown in the first quarter by
six inches, Tech put'up a drive in the
last five minutes of the game that
was hot to be denied. A Tech substi­tute,
Huntsinger by name, started the
drive which Tulane could not with­stand,
and two touchdowns resulted
in short order. However, the game
ended in a 20 to 14 score, giving Tu­lane
its first triumph over Tech.
Mizell's punting saved the day several
times for Tech, and Jim Brooke was
the outstanding performed in the line.
It is hard to pick any outstanding
player for Tulane, for the entire team
played with a vim that was not to be
denied.
* * * * *
Alabama, playing in the Memorial
Stadium in Birmingham, displayed a
running attack that functioned proper­ly
for the first time of the year, and
gave Sewanee quite a trouncing, the
final score being 35 to 7, A peculiar
feature of the game was the fact that
every point after touchdown was
made; Sington, Alabama's tackle, ac­counting
for five, and Green making
Sewanee's.
* * * * *
Hack and Mack continued to shine
for Tennessee, and the Vols beat
Washington and Lee 39 to 0. This
score is rather low for the Vols, until
one considers the fact that three teams
represented Tennesse, and that the
varsity was in the game for only a
short while. Diversifying their run­ning
attack with very successful
passing, the Generals were somewhat
mystified and never threatened the
Tennesse goal line.

the conference, by defeating South
Carolina 25-14, before quite a large
crowd at the annual State Fair of
South Carolina. The Gamecocks were
lucky to score as their touchdowns re­sulted
from passes intercepted by
them, which were thrown at random
by the Tigers. Clemson is now lead­ing
the United States in games won
with six victories and no defeats.
* * * * *
Other teams yet undefeated in the
conference are Vanderbilt and Ken­tucky.
The latter team displayed a
fine offense by defeating Centre 33
to 0, with Centre putting up a stub­born
fight all during the game.-
With ease Vanderbilt defeated
Maryville 33 to 0, and seemed to be
withholding her Big Guns for the
Crimson Tide.
* * * * *
In the North, Yale pulled quite a
surprise by defeating a strong Army
team 21-13. The game looked as it
would be another Ai-my victory until
Albie Booth, playing for the first
time before his Mother, went into the
game and before the smoke cleared
had accounted for all of Yale's 21
points. No tre Dame had trouble in
defeating Carnegie Tech 7 to 0. How­ever,
they pulled the trick and are
now one of the leading teams of the
North.
* * * * *
This week end, intersectional games
will provide interest for Southern
fans. Georgia Tech, after suffering
from a defeat by Tulane, will play a
strong team from Notre Dame. As
Rockne has assembled another great
team this year, Tech is in for an­other
tough afternoon on Grant Field.
Florida's badly crippled team will
journey to Cambridge, Mass., where
they tackle a strong Harvard team.
Harvard went down in defeat Satur­day
against Dartsmouth by a score of
34-7, however Harvard was playing
the best team in the North. Although
Florida is picked to lose to Harvard,
we believe that if the Gators will play
the kind of football that they played
against Georgia, that they will
triumph.
In the South, Georgia will play Tu­lane
in Columbus, Ga. on Friday, and
after Tulane's decisive victory over
Tech, we can't help but believe that
Georgia will suffer another defeat.
In Lexington, Kentucky, another
conference contender will be eliminat­ed,
as Clemson meets Kentucky.
Neither team has yet been defeated,
and we believe that the Tigers from
South Carolina will be victorious.
Alabama and Vanderbilt will meet

record on the gridiron. The
brother was ,none other than the ori­ginal

of an Auburn football team.

Vanderbilt is also undefeated, and as
they are playing in their own back
yard the Commodores should win.
Saturday, for the first time of the
year, Alabama will present an exper­ienced
backfield that is not suffering
frominjuries, as even Suther is ex­pected
to be ready.
Somewhat timorously, we make the
following predictions, hoping for bet­ter
luck than we experienced last
week.

Plans Being Made for
Inter-FraL Basketball
A short meeting of..file.-managers-of
all fraternity basketball teams has
been called by Coach Hal Lee to
take place on Monday, November 4,
at 12:45 p. m., at the gymnasium.
The intra-fraterinty basketball
league will begin its regular schedule
on November 18. This will give the
teams two weeks in which to practice
before the starting of the season.
Coach Lee said that all teams will
have"to furnish their own equipment.
Every member of a fraternity is
eligible unless he is a letter man in
basketball from last season.
The meeting will last only few
minutes, but it is very important that
all managers attend.

Key Town selling
a new telephone idea
Commercial development men of the Bell
System have originated a new use of the
telephone which is proving economical and
efficient for modern salesmanship. From
important central towns the salesman makes
periodic visits to customers and prospects
by telephone.
To conceive this idea, to make it practical
by selecting Key Towns on a basis of most
advantageous rates to surrounding points,
and to sell it as a business practice—all this
illustrates how telephone service is as open as
any commodity to constructive imagination.
Key Town selling is one of many indica­tions
of the steady demand, present and to
come, for more and more telephone service.

Nevine Advises Against
Students Seeking Work
President Hoover was quoted once
as saying he would have made him­self
a better man, while in college
if he had not wasted so much time
in making a living. Nevertheless he
granted that it may be well for some
boys to make their way through col­lege.
Thomas K. Nevine, a research
worker at Columbia university, who
has made a study of the effect of
labor on college students, has con­cluded
that it is best to discourage
children from seeking after school
employment, barring necessity. What
he discovers casts doubt on the be­lief
that boys and girls who work
their way through school get more out
of the effort than those whose ex­penses
are paid and whose only con­cern
is getting an education. Those
who labor to pay expenses while in
school do not show greater resource­fulness
in after life, do not become
more- conspicious models of self-re­liance,
and do not develop greater
ambitions than those who do not.
Work may be good for some, but for
the great majority it hinders. It
divides attention of the student, pre­vents
concentration on either work or
study, and frequently results inlow-er
grades.
None will deny that getting an edu­cation
is so important that it should
be gained even through the' student
or part, by labor, just so long as the
student must pay his own expenses
in whole effort does not result in
physical hai-m. But Professor Nevine
has found that working students do
not make the progress that others do,
and that they habitually show lower
grades. He found no relation be­tween
work and intelligence, but he
believed it possible that mental de­velopment
might be retarded by work
other than study.
Educators have long admitted that
many students risk failure and a
breakdown in health in the effort to
get an education, and in this effort
they do not make comparable prog­ress
with the student.

With the most impressive theatre
set ever erected in Hollywood play­ing
to capacity audiences of extras
all day, and some nights, Warner
Bros, first 100 per cent natural col­or,
talking, singing, dancing picture,
a Vitaphone production in techni­color,
"On With the Show" had its
spectacular filming.
"On With the Show" marks a dis­tinct
innovation in the picture indus­try;
being made by a new process,
which reproduces colors in their true
values, and is no more to be compared
to previous color films, than the
gaudy cover of a cheap magazine
with a fine colorplate reproduction
of the National Georgaphic Maga­zine.
This process is combined with
full Vitaphone effects, with music,
singing, and dancing on the stage,
and full dialogue as the humorous
and darmatic story of the heartaches
and triumphs of a new musical com­edy
at its first try-out are recorded
back stage.
From two hundred to two thou­sand
people were before the cameras
constantly from the start to the
finish of this production. Sally
O'Neil, Louise Fazenda, Arthur Lake,
William Bakewell, Betty Compson,
Joe E. Brown, Sam Hardy, Lee Mo-ran,
the Fairbanks Twins, Harry
Gribbon, Purnell B. Pratt, Josephine
Houston, Thos. Jefferson and Tom
O'Brien are in the cast as well as a
dazzling beauty chorus of one hun­dred.
Words and music by Harry
Akst and Grant Clarke. Dance and
stage presentation by Harry Cebal-los.
Based on the story by Humphrey
Pearson. Adaption by Robert Lord.

Improvement of business in Ala­bama
and other states of the south­east
as a result of the stock market
crash is foreseen by Professor John
W. Scott, dean of the College of
Science and Liberal Arts, and head
professor of economics here.
Professor Scott named three rea­sons
for this.* They are the sound
condition of banks, high rate at which
the public is consuming, and the re­turn
of money from New York into
business channels in interior points
where money has been tight.
The last named factor is certain to
result in an easing up of the tight
money situation, Dean Scott declared.
For some time money has gone from
industry and interior banks through­out
the country to New York where
it has been placed on call at a rate of
interest higher than the local money
market could afford to pay. By hand­ling
money this way bankers were
taking advantage of an opportunity to
make safe loans at a high rate of in­terest
subject to being called at any
time, Professor Scott explained.
With a return movement of money
from New York to interior points, the
supply of money should be adequate
for all necessary business, he said.
Failure of stock to produce returns
in line with speculative values was
named by Professor Scott as the rea­son
why the market crashed. He pre­dicts
that with the "squeezing out" of
unsafe investors, stocks will fall into
more stable hands which should be
favorable to better business. He em­phasized
the sound condition of banks
throughout the country, due to the fact
that they have had a good demand for
money at high rates of interest.
Enhancement of the value of bonds
is another result of the changed stock
situation, as Professor Scott sees it.
Already the bond market has felt this
influence and promises to reflect it
more in the future.
Without naming any particular
stock, Dean Scott declared that there
are now good buys on the market be­cause
of the rapid deflation in values
during the recent sudden decline.
Books of Interest
'Field of Honor" Heads the New York List of
Best Sellers Among Recent Books
SURVEY OF STATISTICS
Donn Byrne's last novel, "Field
of Honor," leaped to first place on
the New York best-seller lists last
week, according to the report releas­ed
by the Brentano stores of New
York City. This posthumous novel,
which Donn Byrne considered the
finest story he ever wrote, has al­so
sent the sale of the tarlier books
soaring. The demand for "Messer
Marco Polo" has almost double dur­ing
the past month, the publishers
state.

Champagne was used by D. H. Law­rence
to "bless" the manuscript of
"No Tomorrow," the new novel by
Brigit Patmore which Century has
just published. The ceremony took
place at a small dinner on Port Cross,
an island in the Mediterranean at
which Richard Aldington and a num­ber
of other authors were present.
Lawrence has taken a great interest
in "No Tomorrow" which he believes
will make the name of Brigit Pat-1
more as mistress of the sophistocat-ed
English novel. Mrs. Patmore, who
is one of the most popular women in
London literary circles, was one of
the first people in England to recog­nize
the genius of D. H. Lawrence.
Lawrence portrayed her in one of
his characters in "Aaron's Rod."

Oemler's earlier work, in the popu­larity
of American readers. When
"Slippy McGee" was published some
years ago a veritable cult of readers
sprang up to enshrine Slippy as one
of the most lovable characters of
modern literature. "Johnny Reb,"
Mrs. Oemler's latest hero, is a Con­federate
veteran who returns to his
small Southern town to become a
"traction m-gnate" with a "rolling
stock" of one dilapidated horse car
and two facetious mules for pulling
power.

has been prepared which will be

The Century Co. announces the
publication, early in October, of a

known as "Seed of the Moon," and

Smoking Does Not
Impair Mental Powers
Smoking does not impair a stu­dent's
mental powers when it comes
to intelligence and class work at
Southwestern.
This startling fact was proved by
Miss Linnie Sue Gary and her group
of student psychologists in recent
Army Alpha intelligence tests be­tween
one hundred smokers and
fifty non-smokers. Two out of every
three men at Southwestern smoke,
but they are just as brilliant and
make just as good grades as the third
man who does not smoke.
"Girls were not allowed to partici­pate
in the tests, because it was not
definitely known that any smoked,"
said Dr. W. R. Atkinson, professor of
psychology, and registrar.
The test was conducted in order to
settle the question whether tobacco
injured or aided a student's mental
powers. More than usual interest was
taken in the experiment. On school
grades non-smokers proved less than
one per cent more intelligent than
smokers. When it came to the intelli­gence
tests smokers were less than
one per cent ahead of those that did
not smoke.
Another interesting test will be
conducted by the psychology depart­ment
in about three weeks, when the
difference in intelligence between
blondes and brunettes will be ascer­tained.

Just Naturally Good
Good tobaccos . . . made good by Nature, not by "artificial
treatment." That's the secret of OLD GOLD'S goodness
A chef may be able to make a doubtful steak
taste good by artificial flavoring and sauces . . .
But it's still dangerous to your stomach.
So it is with cigarette tobaccos. "Heat-treat­ing"
is useful to "set" and "sterilize" the to­baccos
. . . and all cigarette makers have used it
for years. But "heat-treating" cannot take the
place of good tobacco in making a honey-smooth
cigarette.
OLD GOLD tobaccos are naturally good. Care­fully
selected from Nature's best for smooth­ness,
flavor and freedom from throat-scratch.
You have only to try a package to get the thrill of
this smoother and better cigarette. That will
tell you why OLD GOLD'S sales are ALREADY
THREE TIMES GREATER than the combined
sales of three leading brands during a like
period of their existence.

the Opelika road, turn around, and
come back over the same course.
To perfect plans to raise funds for
the Auburn Boy Scouts, a campaign
committee composed of members of
the three civic clubs here met Wed­nesday
night. The Lions, Kiwanis,
and Rotary Clubs are conducting the
campaign.
The qouta is to be three hundred
dollars. This amount will help pay
for a trained scout executive for this
district; all over this sum will go to
the local troop, to assist with scout
work in Auburn, and to improve the
local scout hut.
A. L. Toomer, chairman of the
committee, outlined at the meeting
methods for conducting the cam­paign.
The bond idea is to be used
for raising the money; the citizens
of Auburn are being asked to buy
bonds, which will pay dividends. Mr.
Toomer described the bonds as per-ferred
stock in the future citizens.
A group of workers started a can­vass
of the town this morning; they
hope to close the campaign by to­morrow
night. The working team is
composed of the following: Kirtley
Brown,- Lieutenant Townsley, Albert
Thomas, Dr. Allen, L. D. Pope, J. M.
Robinson, C. L. Isbell, Wilbur, Hut-sell,

ADMISSION, 10c and 35c
With 127 guests and members pres­ent,
the Rotary club staged a gala
Ladies' Night banquet Thursday
evening in Smith Hall. The speaker
of the evening was the Rev. Herman
L. Turner, assistant pastor of the In­dependent
Presbyterian Church of
Birmingham, who spoke on the "In­ternational
Service" program of Ro­tary.
President James R. Rutland was
master of ceremonies.
Mr. Turner said that the peoples
of the world were now so closely re­lated
through the modern means of
communication that we must consid­er
ourselves world citizens instead of
merely state and national beings.
"We owe a great debt to our foreign
neighbors," he -continued, "for
America is a cosmopolitan nation
whose great men have in many cases
been the sons of European nations."
Rev. Turner suggested that local
Rotary clubs in America might fos­ter
international understanding by
corresponding with a foreign Rotary
club, by attendance of members at
international conventions, and by the
study of the customs and conditions
in foreign countries.
Following the introduction of
guests Miss Rebecca Shapiro of Ope
lika presented two clever costume
dances. President Rutland then made
a short address welcoming the guests
of the club, after which Dr. Brad­ford
Knapp delivered an impressive
toast to the wives of Rotarians pres­ent.
This was responded to in a fit­ting
way by Mrs. B. B. Ross. Music
was furnished by a student orchestra,
Miss Miriam Dean of Opelika, Dr.
Duncan C. Harkin, Prof Kinkaid,
and Prof. J. W. Brigham led the en­tire
assemblage in several Rotary
songs.
Lantern Slide Talk

A lantern slide talk on the archi­tecture
and attractions of Paris was
given by Dean Biggin at the meeting
of the Architectual Association Mon­day
night. Starting with the original
site of Paris on the river Siene he
followed the growth on each side of
the river to the present day.
From his collection of two thou­sand
post cards there were shown:
Bridges crossing tfhq Siene, Notre
Dame Cathederal, Palaces of Luxem­bourg

and Church of the Madeline.
burn. They made a speical study of
the program of work. At the end of
the inspection they approved each
expenditure and complimented Di­rector
Duncan and members of his
staff on the excellent work which is
being done. They declared that ex­tension
work in agriculture and home
economics in Alabama has attracted
national attention for its effective­ness
and efficiency. The cooperative
relations with farmers through or­ganized
groups were declared to be
ideal.

run he made against Tulane year
before last. He returned the ball this
distance from a kickoff after Tulane
had scored 6 points, and tied the
score. This was the nearest Auburn
came to winning a conference game
in three years. Coach Floyd didn't
take Callahan on this trip with him
on account of him not being in good

was quoted as saying. "I could go to
Atlanta if I chose, but I don't think
it advisable. Doctors have told me
that rest is imperative for recovery
and it seems to me this is the best
time to take it."
Various rumors have circulated re­garding
Rockne's suffering from a
relapse since he returned from Pitts­burgh,
where his team played Carne­gie
Tech last week, but Knute's
statement would make it appear that
a rest is all he needs. '

plained at the next Inter-fraternity
Council meeting.
The sports section will contain
large, distinct pictures of the heads
of the athletes instead of pictures of
the players in poses of action. Intra­mural
sports will be given space in
this year's Glomerata.
An artist is now designing the bor­ders
and the staff promises new and
attractive designs throughout this

Three new G-E contributions
to the conquest of the air
LINDBERGH, flying blind much of the way,
s hit Ireland "on the nose" as he winged
toward Paris. Now, as an aid to air navigation
comes the magneto compass, a product of Gen­eral
Electric research, which gives pilots a nav­igating
instrument of extraordinary accuracy.
Meanwhile, two other General Electric contri­butions
to aviation have been developed—the
electric gasoline gauge and the radio echo alti­meter.
The ordinary altimeter shows only
height above sea level. The radio echo altimeter
warns the pilot of his actual distance above
ground or water by flashing green, yellow, and
red lights on the instrument board.
Every year hundreds of college-trained men and women enter the employment of
General Electric. Research, similar to that which developed "eyes" for blind fly­ing,
is one of the many fields of endeavor in which they play an important part.
