Tech-Auburn Student Leaders Meet
To Map Plans For Football Weekend
..In a continuation of the pol­icy
of the past six years, stu­dent
leaders f r om Georgia
Tech and Auburn met in the
Union Building last Monday
to discuss relations between
the two institutions at the forth­coming
Tech-Auburn f o o t b a l l
game, OGt. 16.
Representatives of ODK, Blue
Key, and the Ramblin' Reck Club
were guests at a banquet follow­ing
the meeting at which Dr.
David Mullins, vice-president of
API, was speaker.
irlVBl Members of the above organi­zations
will meet at the Tech
YMCA before the game to patrol
areas surrounding Grant Field
where incidents usually occur.
The following precautions were
recommended at the meeting:
1. Auburn students are urged
to leave rat ,caps at home and
urged not to swipe Tech rat caps.
Tech students will be urged not
to snatch Auburn rat caps. They
will not be permitted to wear rat
caps after 12 o'clock except when
they are actually in the stadium.
2. Tech student leaders and
Auburn student leaders will urge
their respective student bodies to
a positive approach rather than
cast derogatory and inflamatory
remarks at the other side. This
refers particularly to "Turkey
Buzzards."
3. Newspaper editors will swap
editorials a n d articles and ex­change
300 copies for distribution
on the other school's campus.
4. Both Tech and Auburn bands
will remain in the' stadium at
least 15 minutes after the game is
over. The bands will be alert to
leadership of the cheerleaders so
that "Dixie"- or some other popu­lar
number may be played if any
rhubarb develops.
Attending t h e meeting from
Georgia Tech were: Gene Dun-wody,
president, student council;
Leon Scott, vice-president, stu­dent
council; George Harris, pres­ident,
junior class; Mike Cady,
president, interfraternity council.
Virgil Tedder, president of Ramb­lin
'Reck Club; Don Perrins, head
cheerleader; Gordon Oliver, Edi­tor
of Technique; Charlie Davis,
president, senior class; Joe Pin-nel,
president, sophomore class.

New Auburn Union Building Hailed
As One Of Finest Of Kind In Country
Hailed as one of the finest structures of its kind, the new
Auburn Union Building is a glamorous tribute to the Village
campus. Newcomers and old grads gaze with awe at the mod­ern
edifice which was designed for the comfort of the students
and faculty.
Tigers Looking For SEC Win
In Kentucky Game Tomorrow
The idea of a multi-million dol­lar
student center ha* been in the
minds of Auburnites for decades,
but in 1949 a student committee
formulated definite plans and
brought the dream into a reality.
A bond was floated and actual
work on the new building was
began in 1952 by the Batson-Cook
Construction Company.
The majestic structure was
completed in 1954 with the doors
opening in February. Countless
efforts by various students, fac­ulty
and alumni ultimately re­sulted
in the luxurious Union.
After some discussion, the new
structure was named The Auburn
Union. Mr. W. O. Lynch, former
Magnolia Hall director, was des­ignated
as manager.
The primary function of the
new Union is to provide a center
for students and their extra cur-ricular
activities. A large number
of social engagements are spon­sored
by the Union each quarter.
The modern ballroom is t he
scene of a number of social dan­ces
each year.
For the convenience of students,
a snack bar is located in the
basement. Adjoining the snack
bar is the cafeteria. Large ban­quet
rooms can be found adja­cent
to the cafeteria. Numerous
dinner parties and banquets are
held in these rooms.
Also located on the ground floor
is a spacious game room which
features ping pong and shuffle
board. The campus book store is
also on the ground floor.
The faculty club, complete w i th
a snack bar, is on the second floor.
The Alumni Association, an i n ­formation
desk, and comfortable
lamps complete the second floor.
A TV' room, complete with
lounge space, card tables and
various games, is on the third
floor. A special record room
and music room are available to
the students on the third floor.
Offices of the Student Govern-nity
Council, Auburn Independ-ment,
The Plainsman, Women
Student Government, Interfrater..
ents, Student Council on Relig­ious
Affairs, the Glomerata and
several committee rooms are lo­cated
on the third floor.
Also an office and an apart­ment
for the assistant Union
Manager is on the third floor.
The Auburn Union is for the
use of the entire student body
and everyone is urged to take ad­vantage
of its facilities.
Freshmen To Don
Pajamas For Yearly
'Beat Techf Parade
Get out those pajamas, rats,
because we a r e once again
ready to knock those Yellow
Jackets into innocent sleep.
George Mize, superintendent
of student spirit, announced
Tuesday that the annual fresh­man
pajama parade, which pre­cedes
the Georgia Tech fqptball
game, will be staged next Wed­nesday
afternoon.
Freshman a r e excused from
classes at 3 p.m., and the forma­tion
will begin in Ross Square at
3:45. The parade, l e d by the
cheerleaders and the Greater Au­burn
Band, will move out at 4
o'clock. All freshman not other­wise
clad to participate in the
floats will wear pajamas and rat
caps. All male freshmen are re­quired
to participate in this event.
The fraternities will • not line
up in alphabetical order but in
the order in which they arrive at
Ross square. The procession will
wind through the streets and back
to Cliff Hare Stadium, where
prizes will be awarded the first
and second place fraternity floats.
A pep rally will also follow at the
stadium.
Mize said that the floats must
be manned entirely by pledges
and there can be no motors, live
animals, or any other power but
human power, used in the pa­rade.
Wheels, however, are per-missable.
The floats must be clearly
marked.
Auburn To Remain
On Water Ration;
Drought Continues
Auburn will remain on a
water ration until rain fills
its lakes, it was announced
this week by Herbert Benson,
head of t h e Auburn water
board.
Even though the pipeline to
Opelika was begun t h i s week,
API and the city of Auburn peo­ple
will not be allowed to water
lawns and wash cars until further
notice. The pipeline laying was
scheduled to have gotten under­way
yesterday and should be fin­ished
by October '21.
According to Benson, the de­lay
in starting construction was
due to the fact that an agree-
• ment had to be reached between
Grant Construction Company,
State Highway Department and
Auburn officials before work
could begin. The line will be laid
along the new Auburn-Opelika
highway, which is still under
construction.
Auburn expects to pump about
one million gallons a day from
Opelika as long as the dry season
continues. I n normal times, API
and the city uses about one mil­lion
gallons a day, but Benson
stated with the increase in en­rollment
t h e figure would be
somewhat larger.
Benson added further that Ope-lika's
water supply is very large_
and that the city can furnish Au­burn
with water almost indefinite­ly.
It is estimated that Auburn has
about 15 to 20 days water supply
left.
Auburn Ready For First Night Tilt
As They Journey To Stoll Field
By Bill Hutto
Plainsman Sports Editor•» (
It will be a very cautious crew of Auburn Tigers that in­vades
Kentucky's Stoll Field tomorrow night to clash with the
Wildcats of Coach Blanton Collier. Game time in Lexington,
Ky., is set for 8 o'clock (CST).
With the defeat dished out by Florida last week fresh in
their minds, the Plainsmen will
go into the Bluegrass tussle even
against a team which defeated a
solid L S U outfit a week ago.
The Cats have played three
games thus far this season and
have been able to break into
the win column only once.
7,046 Enroll Here
As Edwards Proves
Correct Prediction
Accuracy of t h e forecasting
abilities of API Registrar Charles
W. Edwards was tested and found
excellent this week as 7,046 stu­dents
were registered at the col­lege.
Edwards had predicted several
weeks ago that enrollment for the
fall session would go over 7,000. A
number of persons were prone to
look askance at his projected fig­ure,
but the facts now bear him
out.
Last year's enrollment was 6,-
747, which means that already
there are just at 300 more stu­dents
on the campus this fall than
last.
Registrar Edwards has been in
the forecasting business for the
college for a number of years now
in trying to anticipate from in­formation
requests received in his
office how many students will
actually enroll in the fall.
Payday-Not Such Happy Day This Time
By Howard Skelton
The day API distributes"" its
checks to the employees of the
school is usually a very happy
one for everyone concerned,
but last week pay-day wasn't
such a joyful occasion for one
young married girl who works in
the Registrar's office.
It is the custom for one or'two
of the girls who work with Regis­trar
Charles Edwards and Miss
Clercie Small, his assistant, to take
all of the checks to the downtown
banks on their "breaks" in - the
aftrfnoon to have all the checks
cashed.
Last week two of the married
girls took their breaks in the
afternoon, and around seven or
eight people who work in the
office asked them to take their
checks to the bank to have them
cashed. The two girls- went to
separate banks because it was a
crowded time of day and they
thought they could get through
4
easier.
As they cashed the checks, they
put the money back into the en­velopes
from which the checks
had been removed.
money goes astray
One girl got through cashing
hers at the Bank of Auburn and
went over to help the other one at
the First National Bank. The First
National was very crowded and
several people were trying to get
their checks cashed at the same
time the young married girls were
trying to endorse and get their
checks cashed.
Several of the, girls in the office
had forgotten to endorse their
checks so the cashier required the
young matrons to endorse them.
As they were doing so, several
college students were so 'rude that
they couldn't wait for their time in
line and asked the cashier to cash
their checks while the young
ladies were endorsing the checks.
After the girls had cashed all of
the checks they went to a down­town
eating establishment for a
cup of coffee.
When they got back to the office
and were giving the envelopes
out, they discovered something
had happened to the envelope in
which Mrs. Jean Musselman's $156
was in.
The two girls immediately ran
back to the bank and asked
everyone there if they had seen
the envelope. They went back to
the eating establishment and no
one knew anything about the
money.
Announcements have appeared
on the radio concerning the situa­tion
and everyone at the banks are
on the lookout for the envelope.
The two girls who cashed the
checks are near to the point of
hysteria over the whole situation
and Mrs. Jean Musselman is wor­ried
to death over her lost $156.
If anyone knows the where­abouts
or anything about the case
of the missing money please con­tact
Mrs. Musselman at the regis­trar's
office. A liberal reward will
be given. \

lost to Maryland
In the first game of the season
they lost to a highly touted Mary­land
eleven by a 20-0 sdbre; their
second contest was dropped to Ola
Miss 28-9, and in last week's fra­cas,
tbe Bluegrass boys found
themselves and beat LSU 7-6.
The Kentucky backfield, fea­turing
only one senior, is ex­tremely
light. Bob Hardy, 6-1,
190-pound quarterback, is the
largest Wildcat starter in the
backfield. Hardy rose from ob­scurity
early last season and led
the C a t s undefeated through
their last eight games.
Dick Mitchell, lone starting
senior in the Wildcat backfield, is
the smallest man in the second­ary.
Measuring 5-8, and weighing
only 159 pounds, the left halfback
is reported to be quick on starts,
and an excellent open field run­ner.
•
Right halfback starting duties
for Kentucky will be shared by
Junior Dick Moloney and Soph
Don Netoskie, both weighing 175
pounds.
lightest in football
Hayden Hooper, at 168 pounds,
is probably one of the lightest
fullbacks in major college foot-bal
today.
This extremely light quartet
is not short on power, as figures
from the Kentucky-Maryland
game three weeks ago prove.
Although defeated 20-0 by the
Terrapins, t h e Wildcat back-field
gained 132 yards rushing,
compared to 128 for the victori­ous
Mary landers. In total of­fense,
Kentucky gained 316
yards to 180 gained by Mary­land.

Bricklayer Turned
Librarian Is API's
Benton Scheide
By Dolly Fulkerson
Plainsman Feature Editor
Unusual in the field of librarians
is Mr. Benton Scheide, who has
been a journeyman bricklayer for
some years. He has held the po
sition of head of circulation at
API's library since September,
1952.
Mr. Scheide's interest in- brick­laying
was derived from his
-ather, a skilled craftsman in this
line. He began his career by be­aming
an apprentice upon grad­uating
from high school. He serv-ad
in this capacity during vaca-
3—THE PLAINSMAN Fri., Oct. 8, 1954
tions from college, until inter­rupted
by World War II.
After the war was over, he
continued his college studies in
economics and his vacation brick­laying,
until he received his un-dergradirate
degree in economics,
and graduated from an apprentice
bricklayer to a journeyman, which
is a term meaning skilled crafts­man.
Then, Mr. Scheide decided to
continue his academic work along
another vein, that of library work.
He acquired his libraryt degree at
the University of Denver, Colo.,
and immediately accepted a po­sition
on the library staff of Ore­gon
State College, which he held
for about two and a half years.
After this extended stay in Ore­gon,
Mr. Scheide returned to Den­ver
and bricks. For several months
he taught the craft of bricklaying
in Opportunity School, which is a
vocational school in Denver. Mr.
Scheide worked at this profession
during the day, and taught at
night.
F o l l o w i n g this, he came to
A P I , to head the c i r c u l a t i o n de­partment,
but his b r i c k l a y i ng
has not been neglected. During
his four weeks vacation time,
Mr. Scheide keeps his s k i l l alive.
" I t gives you a change of scene
and pace, besides exercise and
e x t r a money," he says.
The librarian is married and has
two children, a daughter, Maureen,
who is 12, and a son, William, six
weeks old. The Scheides live at
464 Samford.

Prrooffe ssor Shortage LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
There is simply a great shortage of pro­fessors
on the Auburn campus.
News received this week informed us
that there is over 7,000 students here this
quarter. Auburn does not have enough
classroom space nor well qualified profes­sors
to take care of that number of stu­dents.
It all reverts to the same old problem—
the Legislature has' not been willing to
grant API the increases in funds for us to
keep up with the hiking enrollment. They
say that Alabama doesn't have the money
—this may be true, but without getting the
necessary funds to educate her youth, how
can the State ever hope to raise the stand­ards
of living.
There is an acute shortage of professors.
Students jammed into classes on Sept­ember
27, many of them couldn't even find
a desk to sit in. No chairs were available
in the entire building. They sat on radia­tors
and window sills.
Instructors went to classes much too big
for any hope of giving any kind of indivi­dual
attention. Questions for the class
would be impossible. Nothing but straight
lecture for many of those classes.
Classes that should function as discus­sion
groups, where students enter into the
idea exchange, were necessarily being con­verted
to straight lecture courses. Pro­fessors
were worrying about the number
and type of quizzes t h e y could give in
order to have enough time to get papers
graded. Under API rules they must give
at least two.
First consideration when money is be­ing
appropriated should be the academic
staff—instruction is t h e most important
arm in the education cycle. Students can
get along without new buildings. They
can do without air conditioning. They
might even get along without desks to sit
sit in. But they cannot get along without
professors good enough to teach them; pro­fessors
with time enough to give them the
attention they need.
It should hurt like the very dickens to
realize that the men who make our state
laws are willing to sit by and let Auburn—
many of us their children—slip along with­out
the necessary attention. It is distress­ing
to see the way students here have to
struggle along to get enough education to
enable them to compete with the graduates
of colleges of other states.
Once again it becomes apparent to any­one
with anywhere near normal eyesight
that Auburn cannot keep up with its re­sponsibilities
unless it gets a larger appro­priation.
The Legislature should realize (should
have seen this many months ago) that
more funds are essential. Students can't
crowd into classes, known only as a nun>
ber on a roll book, and get the-full bene-,
fits of a college education.
Freshman classes are crowded to the
point of saturation. This is bad, but not
nearly so bad as over-populating advanced
courses.
At this institution, classes can't operate
without twelve students—graduate cour­ses
can have fewer. Yet there is no limit
to the number of students that" can be en­rolled
in a certain class. In many cases
the number of chairs is not even a factor.
The Alabama Polytechnic Institute is
facing a serious problem. It is limiting
educational opportunities by l a c k i ng
enough professors to serve the students
adequately.
Students should demand smaller
classes. Administrators should negotiate
for them. Legislators should appropriate
for them.

On Greenhill Scholarship Trouble On Segregation
Blue Key, honorary service fraternity,
is in charge of the Bruce Greenhill Scho­larship
fund drive. This, certainly, is one
of the most worthwhile projects ever un­dertaken
by the organization.
As it stands at the present, the scholar­ship
has received contributions totaling
around $1600—far short of enough.
Bruce Greenhill, the man who is com­memorated
by the scholarship, was editor
of The Plainsman several years back. He
was a citizen of Birmingham.
A land mine wrote "30" to the life of
the young father as he served in Korea.
This scholarship helps preserve the mem­ory
of a man—an Auburn student that paid
the highest price that a person can pay
for his country.
It is very hard to find words to describe
a(man that you never knew.'But, even
though having never met Bruce, we have
heard and seen evidence of enough of his
character and hard work to know that he
was an exceptional individual. •
There are a great many scholarships
available on the campus, but not one of
these is set up with the respect and admir­ation
as that of the Greenhill Scholarship.
It is a memorial which should be everlast­ing.
One that should continue as does the
memory of the man who inspired it.

When the Supreme Court made its
decision on segregation last spring, cries
arose that lynchings and shootings would
be common-place in the South—such may
be the case someday, but it seems that the
North is also h a v i n g its troubles con-
• cerning the same subject.
In several cities North of the Mason-
Dixon line, demonstrations, picketing, and
refusal to attend nonsegregated schools
have, arisen.
In Baltimore, Md\, over 2,000 white
teenagers, shouting slogans against racial
interation of public schools, paraded
through the streets and staged noisy dem­onstrations
outside several high schools.
It took 600 police reinforcements to quell
the riot-like demonstrations. In one school
only 490 students out of an enrollment of
1,705 showed up for classes.
Meanwhile in Washington, white stu­dents
in two District of Columbia high
schools staged demonstrations against in­tegration.
This demonstration occurred
only several hours before the Supreme
Court began its 165th year.
Certainly officials had .every right to b<
apprehensive concerning reprecussions ii
the Southland. They didn't, however, ex­pect
so much trouble in places where
Negroes and whites are reasonably accus­tomed
to associating together. .
If these uprisings in the Central and
Northern parts .of the United States are
any indication, there will be trouble and
hard feelings for many years to come.
No one in Alabama doubts the serious­ness
of the drouth of 1954. Experts claim'
that we are in the midst of a dry cycle
likely to last for seven or eight years.

He declares that "1 am not equipped
with the powers of crystal gazing, but I
am willing to predict that some, of the most
sensational developments in our agricul­tural
production during the next 10 years-will
be the direct result of greater utiliza-,
tion of our water resources through irriga­tion."
\
Mr. Kummer seems to think that irri­gation
in Alabama can be profitable. He
says that the cost of irrigation, including
operation cost, labor, and depreciation,
ranges from $1.50 to $2.75 pe„r acre-inch of
water applied.

If we are in a dry cycle, and if we are
to have a dry run for seven or eight year.s,
it would seem logical for farmers in tht
state to investigate every possibility of ir­rigation.
It may be our salvation.

To the many freshmen and new-students:
we wish you could have
been at the Auburn-Florida game
I last weekend if for nothing else
but to help straighten out in your
mind this talk about the Auburn
Spirit.
You're probably confused by all
the talk about the A^uburn Spirit
you've heard from your friends,
teachers, handbook, newspapers,
and your college president. You're
probably half-way convinced that
you know what it means after
these first few weeks of school,
but if you attended the game Sat­urday
then you really know what
it means now.
You saw that Auburn students
went through • Gainesville "holler­ing"
Tiger Meat and War Eagles,
speaking to everyone, and in gen­eral,
letting the people of Gaines­ville
know that they were there—
• and to win!
You saw that Florida students
didn't speak back to. you and if
ypu heard the one lone. v.Tfea,
Florida," don't be alarmed —
Florida kids didn't yell it; the
crowd we were in hollered it. We
yelled just so we could say we
heard one "Yea Florida,"
I t was so apparent that the Au­burn
Spirit was being manifested
in Gainesville last weekend that
the sportscasters announced to the
whole nation that they had never
heard so many War Eagles and
saw so much school spirit in their
lives. The forty odd thousand
Florida fans saw, too, that a few
hundred Auburn students could
out yell them.
Freshman, you saw one of the
best games you'll see in your life
and you saw something else too—
we didn't holler just when our
team was winning (as the Florida
crowd did) we hollered all the
time. You saw what it means to
"be an Auburn man born, an Au­burn
man bred, and when you die,
you're an Auburn man dead!"
Of course you heard the Florida
kids hollering at the game; but
did you see that pep rally after the
game? It was like a funeral wasn't
it? Why the men at Magnolia Hall
make more noise than that!
You saw last weekend how for­tunate
you are to go to a school
where everyone is a part of the
school and the school is a part of
everyone. Where everyone is so
damn proud of his school that he
wants the whole world to know of
it. And if his school loses, thjat
he's going to do his part to bestHeE
most spirited and graceful loser
in the whole world.
If you were one of the lucky
freshmen who got to .go to the
game last weekend you do your
part to show other people what
you learned last weekend Ity
simply trying in your humble way
to increase and strengthen the
Auburn Spirit. Because really,1
you are the Auburn Spirit.
Cuz, Symbol Of Auburn Spirit
i
By John Raines
An author could write an in­teresting
book about the stories
told and ideas developed in one
single day over the half-cups dish­ed
out by one of Auburn's well-known
restaurant owners.
After taking a sip of my half
and half (that is half coffee and
half space) I ventured into con­versation
with my friend. To my
surprise he *was in a talkative
mood. And what landmark do you
thinks stands out and has almost
always stood out as a perfect sym­bol
of the Auburn spirit?
Would your guess be the lathe,
Samford Tower, lovable old Broun
Hall, or the worn out concrete
seats in front of Samford. ^Then
you guess wrong.
The unanimous decision of the
duo . . . Cuz Crow, the likable old
man with a young man's heart,
the man who had rather yell War
Eagle than eat when he is hungry
. . .,turned out to be the number
one landmark, (if it be proper to
call a man a landmark), that has
and will for a long time be a con­stant
symbol of the great Auburn
spirit, a spirit more famous than
Dusty Rhodes' tenth inning homer
that broke the backs of the only
team that ever played like the St.
Louis Browns in a World Series.
Cuz Crow is probably better
known to more people who have
attended Auburn since the turn
of the century than any other ten
people combined, not excusing
Mike Donahue, while with the
possible exception of Doc Hodge.
And while not copying Will
Bogers, but going even further,
Cuz says that he never met a per­son
in Auburn whom he did not
love.
Cuz, who gained that name
mainly because he called every­body
else that, does have another
Christian name. But as for as some
of his friends are concerned he
might just as well have been
christened Cuz.
Forney Renfro was born in Au­burn
74 years ago and has re­mained
here ever since then. He
entered college here in 1900, but
brought his education to an abrupt
halt two years later when he found
it interfered with his full scale
social life. He was a man about
town with private secretary and
girl escorts for the local football
games. He was a King of the Gob-lers
and a member of Thendara,
the fraternities of fraternities. Cuz
is an active layman in the Metho­dist
Church.
The most amazing thing about
Auburn, says the gentle old* man
who tears your ticket in two at
the War Eagle Theatre, is its rapid
growth over the past few years.
But he still contends that he is one
of the few who can still put the
War Eagle in the War Eagle.
In years gone by when he ran
the Auburn Amusement Center,
Cuz could draw a crowd almost as
big and fast as Marilyn Monroe
can, merely by standing in front
of his business and blowing his
whistle after giving a whooping
War Eagle.
Mr. Renfro says that he acquired
his nickname about 1910, and
while it did not stick at the time,
it did come back into prominence
many years ago. Cuz is now a
great Auburn legend which is not
in textbook and filing cabinets,
but which rest in the hearts and
minds of the Auburnites of all
ages. ,
When asked if he would like
to make one statement to the
press, Cuz replied, "My ambition
has been put myself in the high­est
point on earth and give a
War Eagle that can be heard
around the world."

J. like baseball. I'm a Giant fan
and $4 richer this week. Having
been a baseball fan for some 21
years, I have become quite fam­iliar
with the intricacies of this
interesting spectator sport.
jl was always under the impres­sion
that the elements that went
injto the makings of an outstand­ing
baseball player were the same
physical characteristics common
to other athletes. Good coordina­tion,
strong, healthy body, love
for sports and usually speed and
stamina.
It was a shock; well, a minor
jolt that nothing sla—, etaoin eta
jolt at any rate, to learn while
listening to the world series last
week that nothing, absolutely
nothing in this world, has so
much to do with a baseball play­ers'
success a good clean shave.
I knew that physical comfort
meant much toward being a suc­cess
in life, but.I didn't know it
could be the difference between
being a peon and a king, or to put
it in sports lingo, a sandlotter and
a major league star.
This enlightenment was brought
about through the courtesy of a
famous maker of razors and razor
blades, the "Juliet Red Blade"
company) manufacturers of the
world reknpwn "Chartreuse' One-
Glick" quint-edged safety razor.
This firm has done away with the
tjme-consuming two-click system
of loading a razor simply by mag-natising
the razor.
To load said instrument, all one
does is slip the razor into a handy
2-inch by 6.34 feet dispenser and
tyie blade automatically jumps
ijnto the little shaver. No twist, no
turns, just a simple slip.
Because of this simplicity, the
company decided to cater to ma­jor
league baseball managers, a
notorious simple lot. During the
series "Juliet" broadcast a testi­monial
by Joe Monroe, manager
of the famous, pennant winning,
Marilyn Monroe team.
Though often has his hand?
full, Joe found time to say this
about the famous razor: "When I
furst started shavin' back at the
tender age of four, I thought jest
any ole razor was goode 'nough. I
guess I've used every kind in the
book, nevah gettin' any satisfac­tion
from any kind. Thar I wuz,
no goal in life, unpopular and
seemingly destined for failure. I
couldn't hit, couldn't throw, and
couldn't catch a baseball. In fact,
my beard was so thick I could
hardly see the dad-blamed thang.
"Then a friend of mine gave me
one of old "Juliet Red Blades,"
one he had been using for three
years, I tried it and knew right
then thatit wuz jest the thang fur
your ole daddy. My hitting im­proved
a n d my pitching and
catching became the talk of the
town.
"Within three months I .wuz up
with the Monroe and I've been
thar ever since. I led the league
16 years in everything, even
games won (though I am by na­ture
an outfielder), games lost
and stolen bases.
"I contribute everything, yes,
everything (sob) to deah ole Jul­iet.
(At this point Joe broke down
and cried, and the announcer had
to take over, though he too was
all choked up.)
He addressed the hushed, al- .
most reverent audience, "Friends,
you too can become a success in
life. You too can rid yourself of
the awful hinderance caused by
an untamed beard. Just try 'Jul­iet's
Red Blades' for two years
and if you're not completely sat­isfied
we will give you the comp­any."
Then they switched back to the
ball game, but we had to wait for
Joe to get back to the field. When
he did, and I saw him in action
I knew everything he said was
true. And I was deeply grateful
to the Juliet Rezor people for tell­ing
me and all the baseball fans
in the world about this wonderful
blade.
The Grannies - Part One Of A Serial
(This is" a serial)
CHAPTER I
Once upon a time there were
four identical organisms called
gannies. That is, they were iden­tical
in all respects other than
sex, two of them being male, the
other two female. They lived on
a very small planet—the planet
Phwok, so named because of the
sound made periodically by its
only volcano. (I got this story
second-hand, so please dont' ask
for any specific measurements).
Phwok was not much different
from other planets in its own and
other solar systems. It owed its
origin to the explosion of a star,
and it had continents, of a sort,
one island, and reasonably salty
bodies '.of Water which passed for
oceans'. Two of the continents are
a^ec'tly involved in our story, one
of the oceans, and the island.
The volcano was on the island,
and so were the gannies. This was
a most discouraging arrangement,
because every so often the volcano
would erupt ,and eradicate large
segments of the ganny-population.
Eventually there were only four
gannies left, (the aforementioned)
and, being gregarious creatures,
they were lonely.
"Etaoin shrdlu?" they asked
each other. Freely translated, this
means, "Can anyone offer a
plausible means of perpetuating
the race?" After much discussion
and dissension, they hit upon a
plan. It was generally agreed that
co-existence with the volcano was
not only unpleasant, but danger-pus;
moreover, the only way to
avoid coexistence was to leave.
Gannies had never been very
enthusiastic with regard to sea­faring,
never having seen much
point in it. The planet, therefore,
was completely uncharted, much
to the chagrin of the prospective
emigrants. Any course would be a
random one, so they arbitrarily
decided to strike out in opposite
directions, a male and a female in
each of two boats. Thus if mis­fortune
should befall one couple,
there was a chance that the other
might survive to reach more ten­able
ground.
Fate, however, smiled on both
parties, and each landed safely
on a different continent. The re­sources
«nd climate of one of the
continents were considerably bet­ter
than those of the other, and it
is this disparity which supplies
much of the material for this
story. To avoid confusion, the in­habitants
of the blessed continent f
will be referred to as "ganneys,"
while their, less privileged cou­sins
will still be known as "gan­nies."

Secrets About "Our Staff" Given
By Carmer Robinson
"Burke soid there were Three
Estates in Parliament; but, in
the Reporters' Gallery yonder
thr-e sat a Fourth Estate far
more important than them all."
—Carlyle
In renumerating the endless list
of blessings we students in the
streamlined twentieth c e n t u ry
enjoy, perhaps the most overlook­ed
is that blessing termed "free­dom
of the press." During this
fleeting week, n e w s p a p e rs
throughout America have paid
special tribute to one of the great­est
instruments of mankind—the
public organ called journalism.
Newspapers rush in where pusil­lanimous
politicians fear to trod.
The entire journalistic philosophy
is substantially built around the
axiom that all free people deserve
unblemished news. The massive
and extensive system of public
relations and news coverage be­comes
intricate and complicated
upon first hand inspection. But
actually newspapers f u n c t i on
with simplicity reinforced by
completeness.
The greatness of journalism is
exemplified on the Auburn cam­pus
by the ever humming pre­sence
of a ceaseless news agency
the average layman calls—The
Plainsman. But this magnificent
gem of journalistic finesse often
goes unheralded by the masses.
Headed by the ex-Scotland
yard sleuth, Herbert "That's My
L'ine" White, the weekly news
sheet presents the facts about
campus living through unbiased
writers of the highest caliber.
The journalistic commandant
puts meaning into the descriptive
word effiicency. Daily he weilds a
protective pen that informs, but
not infests, the average student
laymen. Our amiable chieftain is
surrounded by a host of capable
and vastly talented assistants, to
mention a few.
In the sports department, the
scribing of the vagabond Virgi­nian,
Bill "Mighty Mouse" Hutto,
cannot go unnoticed. In the wee
hours of the morning the type­writer
demon pecks persistently
in recording hair raising sport
featurettes, as he relives the glory-ridden
gridiron exploits in fine
print. The exhausted typewriter
yields desperately to the ham­mering
of the local yokel who
made good.
Every top flight newspaper has
its mysterious ghost writer and
the Plainsman is no exception.
Our Dit Jekyll a n d Mr. Hyde
writer is the man with the double
breasted personality Bill "X"
Teem and Bill "Y" Teem. The
ambivalent genius continuously
records stories that prove the ba­sic
instability in man is due to his
own negativeness.
No staff would be well rounded
without the presence of the sum
and substance of life—the ever
popular female. The Plainsman is
abundant with such natural tal­ent.
Feature work is done by Dolls
"The Doll" Fulkerson in a manner V
befitting journalistic genius. How­ever,
her most noted talent is that
of morale building. Every writer
must have inspiration before
shouldering the mighty pen to
scribe indelible marks in the his­tory
of mankind, A beautiful wo­man,
a mignificent sunset, or a
five cent cigar often spurs the
embryonic writer to missives un­known.
Yes, the presence of the
coed on the Plainsman staff adds ^
another dimension to fine news­paper
reporting.
To commemorate a justly nam­ed
week, National Newspaper
Week, The Plainsman takes its
place in the ranks of great news­papers
in saluting the free press
of today. Will Rogers once said—
"All I know is what I read in the
newspapers." So many Americans
are like so—Oh, well—"the mov­ing
pen writes and having writ
moves on."
Weekends Are Here To Stay
By Bill Teem
I've always been told to keep
a good sense of humor, no matter
how black things look. They say
that even if your girls leaves you—
If Siwash plasters a 100-0 defeat
on old alma mater—if you lose
your wallet—if your roommate
stops speaking to you and your
fraternity house stops feeding you
—just stop right there—and laugh.
However, I somehow find it dif­ficult
to be sparkling and witty
after a not so "uneventful trip to
the Sunshine State last weekend.
I guess it's got something to do
with (1) Being stopped by the
Georgia State Patrol (2) Running
out of gas 10 miles outside of Tal­lahassee
(3) Losing the ball game.
But it did bring to mind the
subject of weekends, and how a
college student spends them.
If you will listen intently at 12
noon Wednesday, you will hear a
whistle blowing. Some old timers
claim this to be the signal for the
end of one weekend and the be­ginning
of the next. I don't know
about that, but I have heard that
Auburn students spend half the
week getting ready for the week-
; end, and the other half the week
getting over one. If there is any
time Left pver, they devote it to
their studies. (Have you thought
about them lately?)
In ,-the fall, it's football week­-
ends, hojoaftooming, visiting alum-
Ini, freshman - prevention, and
other weekends.
After Christmas it's the don't
give-a-darn, and Valentine week­ends.
In the spring it's the house-party,
the formal, the girls-we-like-
to-show-off-rto weekend and
kind-to-roommates weekend, and
final-fling-before-flunking - finals .
weekend.
Imagine the confusion if some
regular weekend were to come up
at the end of a week. We wouldn't
know what to do.
We can't beat them, so the only
thing to do is to try and live
through them. Don't pull too many
tricks like I pulled last weeje. *
Tearing off at top speed to some
place 360 miles away so I could

Tigers See Pass Defense Crumble
As Florida Takes 19-13 Decision
By Bob O'Neill
The A u b u r n Tigers lost t h e ir
first game of t h e season in
Gainesville last S a t u r d a y to a
fired-up bunch of Gators from
t h e University of Florida.
Muffing numerous scoring op­portunities,
the Tigers saw their
pass defense dissolved as the Gat­ors
used the air to score two of
their three touchdowns in a 19-13
victory.
Auburn threatened early in the
first period on a march from its
own 43. Rushing plays and a 36-
yard pass from Freeman to Py-burn
gave the Tigers a first down
on the Gator 7-yard line. Three
plays moved the ball to the one,
but a fourth down pitchout went
astray and Florida took over on
the 14.

Holding the Gators again, Au­burn
moved to the Florida 18.

PLAINSMAN SPORTS EDITOR
Gators Take Advantage Of Breaks
To Beat Tigers In Conference Tilt
. After an inauspicious t r i p by air to Gainesville, Fla.,
Coach Shug Jordan afforded us a little of his time, to catch
us up on what War Eagle did after he had a few of his feathers
plucked.
We fired questions and the obliging mentor shot back his
views after pensive thought on his side of the fence. If you had been
listening in, it would have sounded like this.
"Coach, before the game, had you planned to drop your usage of
X and Y altogether?"
"No, we had planned using X and Y, however, we had also
planned to play several men a little overtime against Florida. Our
X and Y success hopes took a jolt on the very first play of the
game when Jim Hall was banished on a personal foul.
"This caused us to double up with Jim Long, and this tired Jim
considerably, keeping him from being fresh at the £rid.
We asked about Ted Neura's leg, which was being held together
by 34 stitches at the outset of the contest.
Jordan informed us that "Ted's leg injury had a great deal to do
with the temporary breaking up of the X and Y, because he was not
really physically durable enough to go all the way. This forced us
to use Bracket! on the Y as well as the X squad, after Ted was re­moved
with a duplicate injury in the second period."
'two fumbles were bad football'
We then asked the amiable mentor why he left Freeman and
Pyburn in throughout the latter part of the contest, and he said "After
we were unsuccessful in our two first-quarter scoring attempts, we
decided to go for the home-run, but.f"guess"it just wasn't our day to
hit for the circuit. The two fumbl^ were bad football, it cost us, and
that's all there was to it."
"Well, coach, tell us what happened to our defense on Bobby
Lance's 84-yard touchdown run," we inquired.
Jordan told us that "We just fell victim to a perfectly executed
play, that's all. They caught us flatfooted." .
Further discussing the Tigers' fate in Gainesville, Coach Jordan
disclosed "We got two real bad breaks after we tied the score in
the fourth quarter, once when we punted and the ball rolled dead
on the one, only to have them make a back-breaking 37-yard return
later."
We asked the ever-pleasant tutor if he thought that his splitting
the X's and the Y's up hurt us, a.nd he responded unhesitatingly:
"If we had been able to go along with our system all the way, we
probably would have cashed in with one minute 19 seconds left when
the chips were down, but as it was, Freeman was hurt and Burbank
was doubling then, w|ich tired him considerably."
"Well, tell us what you thought of Bobby Freeman's all-out effort
Saturday," we asked. '
'Freeman is wonderful ball player'
His concluding reply was that "Freeman is a wonderful ball­player,
but He is not strong enough .to play four-fifths of the game, be­cause
of the tremendous pace he keeps up while he's in. He never
relaxes."
Finally the Black Belt native' added, "It seems that every time
we've broken our X and Y units up over the past two years, we've
played our worst ball."
SEC Odds'N Ends...
Before the plane departure last week, Halfback Alton Shell, who
had never flown before, volunteered to make the Florida trip on the
equipment truck. His offer was declined and he lived through the
ordeal without a bit of sweat.
* *-.' •
When the heftly Plainsmen and the coaching staff boarded the
tri-wheeled craft in Gainesville for the trip back home, the tre­mendous
weight in the tail of the plane caused the back to drop down.
Before they could make the takeoff, the huge gridders had to move
forward. Right much beef, huh?
* * *
Against Florida, Shell (the boy wfth the phobia for airplanes)
played what Coach Jordan judged "a flawless defensive ball game."
He was the best pass defender on the field, not allowing a single
receiver to be left open in his territory all day.

Player Of The Week
Bob Scarbrough
Even though Florida was busy all last Saturday applying an
obstinate blemish to Auburn's football record, they also had
their hands pretty full trying to repell the savage charges of
Plainsman guard Bob Scarbrough.
The stocky junior from Troy made three of the first four
tackles in the game, and it was he who blocked the Gator punt in
the third period which set
up,the Tigers' initial TD. Pay
dirt was disturbed two plays
after this defensive master­piece
by a Bobby Freeman
sneak.
The likeable Scarbrough,
single-handedly poured the
water on a serious' Gator
threat in the first period
when the Floridians were on
the Tiger 40. The Florida
Field hosts had rolled up
two straighti first downs and
seemed headed for another
with Fullback Mai Ham­mock
drawing the mail-car­rying
assignment.
The big Gator battering
ram was met at the line of
scrimmage by an immovable
Mr. Scarbrough and they
didn't get their necessary
one-half yard for the first down.
After the game Coach Jordan remarked, "Bob's individual
effort against Florida was as good as any we've seen in a mighty
long time. He played a whale of a ball game."
Here, out of the Notre Dame box,
Fob James skirted right end down
to the Gator 5-yard line where he
fumbled. Florida recovered to re­gain
possession.
Late in the second quarter,
Florida crossed the 50-yard line
for the second, time. This time
they continued on into the end
zone. Lance returned a Tiger punt
37 yards to the Auburn 42. Third
string quarterback Fred Robinson
came in and clicked for three
passes, the final one for 18 yards
and a touchdown to Fred Smith.
The kick was blocked. .
On the first play of the second
half, Lance on -an option play,
cut off his own right tackle and
raced, untouched, 84 yards to
score. Chandler's kick was true
and the Gators led favored Au­burn
13-0. This run dazed the
Plainsmen but seemed to give
them life as they took the kick-off
and marched 84 yards to
score, with Bobby Freeman go­ing
over.
Tigers get a break
Early in the fourth period, Py­burn
and Scarbrough blocked a
Florida punt and the Tigers took
over on the Gator 4-yard line.
Two plays later. Freeman smash­ed'over
and the Tigers trailed by
one point. Joe Childress' kick split
the uprights and the game was all
Knotted up, 13-13.
Sophomore D i c k Allen took
over the reigns of the Gators after
the kickoff and promptly led an
86-yard march for the winning
touchdown. A sharp 23-yard pass
to Burford climaxed the drive.
Auburn tried to move the b'all
after the kickoff but had little
success and was forced to punt.
Three plays after t h e punt,
George Atkins hit quarterback
Lance and knocked him loose
from the ball; Jerry Sansom,
recovered on the Florida 26. Bill
Burbank, replacing t he injured
Bobby Freeman, tried three pass­es
but was unable to get even one
off and time ran out.
Auburn made 17 first downs

Freshman Team Shows Potential
As They 'March Through Georgia'
A PREVIEW OF WHAT NEXT YEAR'S varsity might look like
was given Monday by the Auburn freshmen as they downed the
Georgia frosh team 33-6. Above is an example of the bruising brand
of ball played.
Toil, Sweat Required To Keep Tiger
Athletes From Breaking Into Pieces
By Bob Evans
Few football fans, if any, ever stop to think how much toil
and sweat is produced by someone each week in order to field
eleven combatants who are in good enough physical shape
to keep from breaking into little bits once the rough stuff
starts.
The man with the roll of tape
and" bottle of liniment, the squad's
trainer, plays a prominent part in
this phase of athletics. Auburn
offers peerless Kenny Howard as
its representative in this union of
skilled craftsmen.
Kenny has been keeping Tiger
athletes w e l l assembled since
1946 when as a student, he got a
job as assistant trainer under'
Coach Wilbur Hutsell to help pay
his way through school.
benefits from Hutsell
The Crossville native, who at
the time was enrolled in Auburn's
School of Agricultural Science,
received countless benefits from
his apprenticeship under Coach
Hutsell, and when the latter was
elevated to the position of Ath­letic
Director in 1947,(Howard as­sumed
nis present duties of. head
trainer.
Since that time, Kenny has used
many miles of t a p e in getting
scores of Tiger grea.ts onto SEC
fields' of competition. For his role
in keeping such Auburn immor­tals
as Travis Tidwell, Whitey
Overton, and Jim Dillion in tip­top
condition, the affable masseur
has received numerous pats on
the back.
On the other hand, he has been
on the receiving end of more than
one staggering b l o w from a
groggy player regaining con­sciousness.

FOOTBALL THROUGH THE AGES
The football frenzy is upon MIS. But let us, in the midst of this
pandemonium, call time. Let us .pause for a moment of tranquil
reflection. What is this game called football? What is its history?
Its origins? Its traditions? These are not idle questions, for when
we have the answers we will appreciate even more fully, enjoy even
more deeply, this great American game of football.
F i r s t of all, to call" football an American game is somewhat mis­leading.
True, the game is now played almost exclusively in America,
but it comes to us from a land far away and a civilization long dead.
Football was first played in ancient Rome. Introduced by Julius
Caesar, it became one of the most popular Roman sports by the time
of Nero's reign. The eminent historian Sigafoos reports a crowd of
MMCLDDXVIII people at the Colosseum one Saturday afternoon
to see the Christians play the Lions. , . , . , „ . „ . . ,.
With the decline of the Roman empire football fell into disuse.
The barbaric Huns and Goths preferred canasta. However, by the
Twelfth Century A.D. football had emerged from its twilight and
risen to its rightful place in the firmament of European pastimes.
The eminent historian Sigafoos reports that the whole continent
was in the grip of wild excitement in the year 1192 when the
Crusaders, under Freddie Barbarossa, journeyed ah the way to
Damascus to play the Saracens in the Fig Bowl game. The Crusaders
squeaked through, 23 to 21, on a field goal by Dick Coeur de Lion
in the'closing seconds of the game. . \ v, •'•&.£>'
October 21, 1512, will ever remain a red letter day in the history
of football On that day Leonardo da Vinci, who has often been called
"The Renaissance Man" because of his proficiency in a hundred arts
and sciences, was painting a picture of a Florentine lady named
Mona Lisa Schultz. "Listen, Mona baby," he said as she struck a
pose for her portrait, "I keep telling you-don't smile. Just relax and
lock natural."
"But I'm not smiling," she replied. -
"Well, what do you call it?" he said. W
"Cee, I don't know," said Mrs. Schultz. "It's just an expression, W
kind of." . .
"Well, cut it out," said The Renaissance Man.
"I'll try," she promised. •- • , , ••
And try she did, but without success, for a moment later the artist
was saying to her, "Look, Mona kid, I'm not gonna ask you again.
Wipe that silly grin off your face."
"Honest to goodness, The Renaissance Man," said she to him, it 3
no grin. It's just the way I look." •. .
"Well, just stop it," said Leonard testily and turned away to mix
his pigments. • , ._• •' .. ....
When he turned back to Mona Lisa and saw the smile still on
her face, he became so enraged that he seized the nearest object -
a casava melon, as it happened-and hurled it at her with all his
strength. Showing great presence of mind, she caught the melon and
ran with it from the studio until The Renaissance Man s temper t
should cool. , ,
This was, of course, the first completed forward pass.
Another date dear to the hearts of all football fans is September 29,
1442 It was on this date, according to the eminent historian Sigafoos,.
that a sixteen year old lad named Christopher Columbus tried out
for the football team at Genoa Tech. He failed to make the team
because he was too light. (He weighed at that time only 12 pounds.)
And why, you ask, is this date - September 29, 1442 - so dear to
the hearts of all football fans? Because young Columbus was so
heartbroken at not making the team that he ran away to sea. And
if that hadn't happened, he never would have discovered America.
And if Columbus hadn't discovered America, the world never would
have discovered tobacco. And if the world hadn't discovered tobacco,
football fans never would have discovered Philip Morris — which, as
every fan knows, is the perfect companion to football. As Sigafoos,
' the eminent historian, says, "Land's sakes, I can't even imagine
football without Philip Morris. I'd sooner go to a game without my
raccoon coat than without my neat, rich tobacco-brown snap-open
pack of mild vintage Philip Morris Cigarettes which come in regular
or king-size at prices young and old can afford. Land's sakes!"
The end of football in Europe came with the notorious "Black Cox
Scandal" of 1587, in which Ed Machiavelli, one of the Pisa mob,
paid off the University of Heidelberg Sabres to throw the champion­ship
game to the Chartres A. and M. Gophers. It was a mortal blow
to football on the continent. • . •
But the game took hold in the American colonies and thrived as it
had never thrived before. Which brings us to another date that
remains evergreen in the hearts of football lovers: December 16,1771.
On that date a British packet loaded with tea sailed into Boston
harbor. The colonies had long been smarting under the English king's
tax on tea. "Taxation without representation," they called it, and
feelings ran high. .
When on December 16,1771, the British ship docked at Boston, a
semi-pro football team called the Nonpareil Tigers, coached by
Samuel (Swifty) Adams, was scrimmaging near the harbor. "Come,
lads " cried Swifty, seeing the ship. "Let's dump the tea in the ocean!"
With many a laugh and cheer the Nonpareil Tigers followed Swifty
aboard and proceeded to dump the cargo overboard in a wild, dis­organized
and abandoned manner. "Here now!" called Swifty
sharply. "That's no way to dump tea overboard. Let's get into some
kind of formation."
And that, fans, is how the "T" formation was born.

Daring, Dangerous Freeman Hailed As Best In SEC
Auburn's Ace Quarterback Noted
For Playing Best "In The Clutch
By Carmer Robinson
F r om Webster's dictionary
t h e words "sang-froid" mean
coolness under trying circum­stances.
In a nutshell, that
describes the play of the De­c
a t u r dynanm Bobby Free­man,
voted by coaches as the fin­est
in Dixie quarterbacks.
• The stallion-like performer is
heralded by many a respected
football artist as excellent com­petition
for All-American honors.
All Village fans are familiar
with this 6-1 gentleman's grid­iron
powers as he piloted the 1953
component of the famous X-Y
combo into the Gator Bowl.
not easy forgotten
It is not easy to forget Free­man's
football poise in regrouping
an all but beaten group of Plains­men
and leading them in a fourth
--»» ^ q u a r t e r charge which resulted in
a 21-21 historical finish with
Mississippi State. Nor can the War
Eagle supporters fail to recall his
stirring return of a Georgia punt
for 95 yards, untouched, for an
Auburn touchdown.
These are but a few of the per-
• formances which have etched the
name Bobby Freeman into t he
hall of Auburn immortals.
fop defensive back
The fiery Freeman was voted
as top defensive back in the SEC
last year by the Nashville Ban­ner.
He was runner up to Miss­issippi
State's Jackie Parker for
the conferences "Most Valuable
Player" award.
The versatile signal caller
placed third last year in SEC
total offense with a grand total
of 944 yards, 341 rushing and
603 passing. He completed 42 of
85 passes, four were cashed in
for touchdowns, with only six
being stolen by alert Tiger op­ponents.
Freeman plays a reckless brand
of football with chance being a
frequent bedfellow. But, his long
shots pay big odds at the gate.
Spectacular is the byword in
describing Freeman's antics on
the gridiron. He intercepted five
passes and returned them an
average of 22.6 yards. Returns on
eight punts netted he and Auburn
20.3 yards per try.
n the by gone era of two pla­toon
ball, Freeman was a defen­sive
standout on the Freshman
team and the 1951 and 1952 var­sity.
He was named to the All-
SEC Freshman team' in 1951.
preseason All-SEC
During preseason polls, the bold
and daring quarterback was nam­ed
to All-SEC and voted the best
quarterback in t h e Conference.
He has lived up to all expecta­tions
thus far this year.
Freeman is a dangerous passer,
and the Freeman to Jim Pyburn
combination is one of the best of
its kind in the nation today.
The Decatur senior is a natural
leader. Prediction of his actions
are virtually impossible, but he
always c o m e s through in the
clutch.
Bobby married his childhood
sweetheart, Rita Baker, last
spring. He has a brother-in-law
playing on the Frosh team and
also has a brother who plays

Rita, Bobby likes to fish and help

Auburn Tackles-The Fabulous Four
"The best four tackles ever aggregated on t h e same foot­ball
t e am anywhere."
T h a t ' s the label Coach Ralph J o r d a n and other SEC 'pig­skin
authorities give A u b u r n ' s X and Y front-line q u a r t e t of
F r a n k D'Agostino, M. L. Brackett, Ted Neura, and George
Rogers.
This mighty fortress, commonly
teferred to as "The Fabulous
Four," has been one sphere of the
big Plainsman forward wall that
has had Coach Jordan and his
"brain trust" smiling during the
past two years.
In. D'Agostino, Auburn has a
boy who was named to the All-
SEC squad in 1953 as a sopho­more,
one who possesses the
quickest initial charge in the con­ference,
and a strong candidate
for All-America honors this sea­son.
The scrappy Philadelphia
native spearheads an aggressive
X line offensively with his peer-
Isss blocking and great all-around
knowledge of the game.
In the 13-0 upset win over Ole
Miss last year, Brackett turned
in one of his most note-worthy
performances as a Tiger. His
downfield blocking in that affair
gave the Plainsmen a big boost
toward their "Team of the Week"
citation. The 240-pound giant got
his prep training at Attalla High.
Neura's Brunswick, Ohio, back­ground
gives the North and South
equal representation on the agile
quartet...' Consistency, has been a
trademark of the compactly-built
Y regular since he began his Ti­ger
career as a starter in 1952.

Check-Ouf Service To Other Jobs
By Larry Conner
Intramural Sports Editor
C h a l k up another first for this year's. I n t r a m u r a l Sports
Program—the students of A u b u r n now have a special check­out
service for athletic equipment.
F r om this check-out room you can check out any kind of
sports equipment t h a t you want to play with. From footballs
to badminton birdies, it's all there
Tigers Lose, But So Do
Maryland, Notre Dame
While A u b u r n was taking it on t h e chin in Gainesville last
Saturday, some other ball teams throughout the republic, who
e n t e r e d their games assuming the favorite's roll, fell victim
to giant-killers.
Up at South Bend, Ind., Notre Dame, t h e nation's number-in
the check-out room, just wait-for
you to come get it
All you need is your identifica­tion
card with you when you sigh
out for this equipment. In case
you don't know where the check­out
room is located, it's right
across the hall from where you
had your ID pictures made in the
Union Building.
Here are the rules governing the
check-out system:
1. Any regularly enrolled stu­dent
is eligible to check out any
equipment' needed.,
2. Any faculty or staff member
is eligible to check out any equip­ment
needed.
3. Equipment may be checked
out for a 24 hour period. If poss­ible,
all equipment should be re­turned
on the day it is checked
out.
4. Equipment may be checked
out on Friday and returned on
Monday.
5. Broken or damaged equip­ment
will be accepted if returned.
6. Lost equipment must be paid
for or replaced.
7. Team managers may check
out footballs, softballs, bats,
masks, etc., for the duration of
the playing season.
8. Gloves, mitts, and individual
pieces of equipment may be
checked for the 24 hour period to
anyone on presentation of their
ID cards.
9. No equipment may be check­ed
out for instructional purposes.
Equipment is to be used only for
intramural sports tournaments and
individual recreation.
10. This room will be open 3-6
p.m. Monday through Friday.
With the fraternities already
playing and everyone else start­ing
Monday, I hope that all the
teams have prepared themselves,
keeping in mind the special rules
of. intramurar football. You know,
it's a lot harder to break a bad
playing habit than to form good
ones at the beginning.
Just like the time my daddy
was trying to teach me and my
brother some good table manners.
Well, he brought six pork chops
home for supper one night. That
gave a pork chop to me and each
of my brothers and one each for
Mama and Papa and left one on
the platter. '/
His idea was to teach us never
to take the last helping on the
platter. Suddenly the lights went
out, there was a scream (and a
few hundred curses), the lights

He was picked by the Olympic
Committee as a member of the
seven-man training staff to ac­company

sole selection from the Southern
area.
Howard is married to the form­er
Jeanne Barnhardt, whom he
met at an Auburn vs. Georgia
Tech football during his days as

His precise a c t i o n s and

pork chop and four forks stuck
in his arm.

AND
one ranked team, was busy taking
a 27-14 slap in the face from pesky
Purdue.
The Boilermakers uncorked a
passing attack that produced all
four tallies, with a lanky sopho­more,
Len Dawson doing all the
throwing. Purdue completely out­shone
the Irish all afternoon as
they bottled up aerial artist, Ralph
Guglielimi with an invulnerable
pass-defense.
The Purdue victory snapped a
13-game Irish winning streak,
and it was the Boilermakers also
in 1950, who stepped in and
stopped a 39-game Irish victory

UCLA and the Terrapins of
Maryland was starting on the west

When the final results were

bottled up the Mayland air and

That Whiskey Smell Just
Real Gone Moonshine
If you perceived a noxious imi-nation
last week and it closely re-cembled
a whiskey smell, it was­n't
your imagination. Auburn po­lice
caught two bootleggers and
confiscated 300 gallons of moon­shine
whiskey.
The whiskey was poured out,
and the smell engulfed the sur­rounding
areas of the police sta­tion.
Auburn students, not aware
of the incident, were seen looking
upon each other with a "what
have you been drinking expres­sion."
Local fraternity houses in
that vicinity were rumored to have
had their pledges trying to tap the
sewers, cups in hand.
It was just a rumor, however.
