Tomorrow night a Gospel
Singers Concert will be pre­sented
in the Union Building
Ballroom at 8 p. m. This is the
second consecutive year the
Union Program Committee
has sponsored the concert
which features such national­ly
known singing groups as
the Cavaliers Quartet, the
J o h n s o n Sisters Trio, the
Thrasher Brothers Quartet,
and Rick Maze, managing the
Jubilaires Quartet.
Maze was recently awarded the
title of "Mr. Gospel Disc Jockey
of America" by the "Kadio and
TV Mirror" magazine for his
work on the "All Gospel Pro­gram"
originating in Birming­ham.
Since an overflow crowd is
will be given admission priority.
Girls may obtain 11 o'clock per­mission
if they wish to attend.
Brice Marsh, the Union Pro­gram
Committee member whose
efforts secured the services of
several of the singing groups,
said he hoped the program would
create some interest on the Au­burn
campus in gospel singing.
Last year's concert was attend­ed
by a near capacity crowd as
three professional quartets and
API's own "Plainsmen" quartet
performed. This group has be­come
inactive for the duration of
the present quarter.
Saturday Classes Set
Again This Weekend
The third and final day of Sat­urday
classes in this quarter will
be held next Saturday, Feb. 3.
Students will follow their Thurs­day
schedules:
These weekend work days are
necessary to bring the abnormal­ly
short Winter quarter's total
number of class days up to 50,
as compared to last fall's 55.
Previous Saturday classes were
held on January 4, and January
11.
Inadequate Library Space Causes
Books To Mildew And Deteriorate
By Jerry Drinkard
Would you store irreplace­able
valuables in a place
Where they would ultimately
be destroyed? Well, that is
what API's library has had
to do. The situation has long
since passed the critical.
Books are stored anywhere; in
boxes on the floor, on top of
shelves, in old temporary build­ings,
and in an old walk-in re­frigerator.
Unreplaceable records
are stored in rooms recently dug
out under the library with holes
open to unpaved dirt areas. True,
screens over the five-foot holes
keep out the rats, but not the
bugs who love to eat paper. The
atmosphere is damp and moldy.
Ever wonder why it sometimes
takes a librarian a long time to
get your book? It could be because
the books are filed with their
titles covered, packed so tightly
that a muscle man is required to
INADEQUATE LIBRARY space is the cause of books having to
be stacked like these. This scattered pile was found in the attic of
the Ag Engineering Building and is a typical situation in many other
I' buildings on the campus.
extract them. It could be that she
has to go into the basement to
find your book, or maybe trek
to the projection room where
periodicals are kept in boxes on
the floor.
Perhaps you asked for a book
oh religion. In this ease she must
make a real expedition—out be­yond
the reaches of the farthest
temporary building to the cozy
nook called, "The annex." Of
course, she may have to brush
aside a few spider webs and pull
out the splinters she got in her
hand from the unvarnished book­cases,
but she'll return with your
book.
Think this is fantastic? You
should see it. You should walk
through the stacks T— it's hotter
than blue blazes (there's only one
thermostat in the building and
it's in the reference room). You
should walk into a dark, damp
and cold old refrigerator to see
books and have to gather your
coat close around you to keep it
off the moldy walls. Try going
through another storage room next
to the projection room and see
cardboard storage boxes with the
bottoms rotted out from sitting in
rain water.
Our library is perhaps the
greatest disgrace on this campus.
A cataloguer at a public library
is required to have a minimum of
100 square feet of working room;
a college cataloguer should have
over twice that. Auburn's cata-lougers
have about 15 square feet
of working room. The facts speak
for themselves.
The library has long been a
depository for government docu­ments.
Now it has been made a
depository for unclassified ma­terial
from the 'Atomic Energy

for tomorrow and Friday are top row: Buddy Wood, Joe Lam­bert.

UMOC Contest To Begin Tomorrow;
Winner To Be Announced Saturday
Tomorrow and Friday the elec­tion
will be held to determine
who will receive the title of "Ug­liest
Man on Campus" for 1958.
Leaving behind the title is 1957
winner Bob "Wormy" Gerson who
was sponsored by Kappa Alpha
Theta.
A table containing a box for
each candidate will be set up out­side
the Union Building on Feb.
Prelims Scheduled
Monday For Frat
Skit Night Entries
Unlike previous Skit nights,
preliminaries are being held this
year to eliminate all but five of
the fraternities wishing to $ar*
ticipate in "this event. Prelimi­naries
will start on Monday in
the Union Building for the elim­ination.
Props and scenery are ...not al­lowed
in the preliminaries and
skits will be judged on the basis
of originality—40 points, contin­uity—
40 points, presentation—
10 points, entertainment — 10
points.
Local judges will be used for
the preliminaries and out-of
town judges will be used for the
10 final skits to be presented in
the Union on Feb. 24. Since props
and scenery cannot be used in
the preliminaries, emphasis will
be placed more on actual content
of the script.
A seven minute time limit will
be placed on all skits both for
the preliminaries and the finals.
Any time used over seven min­utes
will be deducted from the
total points earned. Sororities
participating in Skit Night this
year are: AOPi, Chi O, Tri Delt,
Pi Phi, and Phi Mu.
Accordng to Bob Hurt, chair­man,
it was felt that having pre­liminaries
would increase the
quality of Skit Nite and it would
cut down on expenses for frater­nity
entries who don't win.
The deadline for turning in
names of skits is this Friday, Feb.
7. Names should be given to Bob
Hurt at the Kappa Alpha House
before this time.
6 and 7. Votes are 1 cent each.
Sororities are now engaged in ver­bal
campaigning, but the cam­paigns
will pick up steam on elec­tion
days.
Alpha Phi Omega, the service
fraternity sponsoring the contest,
plans to use the proceeds for cam­pus
projects. In 1953 they used the
proceeds to purchase the plaque
that gives the history of the lathe.
Plans for this year include getting
pencil sharpeners and more con­crete
benches distributed around
campus.
The winner will receive many
prizes, donated by various Auburn
merchants. The sponsoring sorori­ty
will receive a small trophy to
keep permanently and a large one
to be circulated from year to year
among the winning sponsors.
The winner will be announced
at the half-time of. the Auburn-
Georgia basketball game Satur­day.
Women Students
Discuss Tentative
Activities Council
Representatives from the vari­ous
women's organizations on
campus met on Monday, Jan. 27
to discuss the possibility of form­ing
a council with the purpose
of coordinating women's activities.
Judy Lochridgc, primarily re­sponsible
for the promotion of the
plan, discussed the possibility of
developing the advisory board wth
members of Alpha Lambda Delta,
Cwens, Mortar Board, Panhellecic
Council, WRA, and WSGA.
The object of the council would
be to provide a media of com-munciation
between women's or­ganizations
so that the activities
and projects of the various groups
would not conflict in time or pur­pose.
At a second organizational
meeting, to be held Wednesday,
Feb. 12, each representative will
bring a schedule of the activities
for her particular group to deter­mine
whether or not the council
would provide a valuable service
in planning a schedule of events.
Novelist Blames Imperfect 'Word'
On Decline Of Religious Values
By Roger Mathis
Thursday night, Andrew
Lytle, noted southern nove­list,
lectured in the Union
Building Ballroom. Mr. Lytle,
who teaches creative writing
at the University of Florida,
spoke on "Southern Fiction
and the Primacy of the Word."
Mr. Lytle said that, "In the
beginning was the word and the
word was God." He stated fur­ther
that since the beginning, the
word has been rapidly declining
in perfection.
The "word," as defined by
Lytic, is a mysterious, pure,
force. He blames the decline of
its purity on the decline of Chris­tianity
which is being replaced
by the "God of security."
Lytle claimed that we no lon­ger
have pure artists, scientists,
or writers because we have se­curity.
We are developing prac­tical
scientists because we are
afraid to take the risk of com­plete
failure for the sake of find­ing
something new. We do not
have pure writers because we do
not have men completely devoted
to writing original views.
This fear of not succeeding in
the eyes of the world is prevent­ed
many exceptionally capable
men from the full development
of their true potential.
According to Lytle, another
reason for the decline of the
word is the instability of our cul­ture.
He said that in the early
days of our country, people were
constantly moving toward the
western frontier. Now that there
is no frontier left, we have to
content ourselves with restless
roaming within set boundaries.
This has caused a decline in our
Southern culture which in turn
reduces the effectiveness of our
writers.
As a cure for the decline of
the word, the emminent author
suggests that we find some con­cept
of devotion and establish
firm beliefs in that ideal
Accreditation Committee
Studies API Engineering
Trio Reviews
ME, EE Depts.
By Nadine Beach
Currently reviewing Au­burn's
accreditation problem
in the Electrical and Mechani­cal
Engineering Departments
is a committee composed of
Dr. Ralph Morgen, Director of
Research, P u r d u e Research
Foundation; Dean Leo J. Las-aille,
Dean Emeritus, College
of Engineering, LSU; P r o f.
Fred H. Pumphrey, Depart­ment
of Electrical Engineer­ing,
University of Florida.
The actual loss of accredita­tion
was due to two main fac­tors:
overloading of an insuf­ficient
number of staff members
and lack of funds or sufficient
salaries to retain competent per­sonnel.
It has been pointed out by API
officials that the above factors
have also been dependent upon
other underlying problems. For
example, the ratio of actual ap­propriations
to increased en­rollment
has not been maintained;
outside competition for qualified
individuals has reduced the staff
of these departments. It has also
been stated that total blame for
the resulting situation cannot be
placed in any definite area or on
any particular group.
The three-man committee, af­ter
completing their investiga­tion
of the departments concern­ed
will file an official report with
President Draughon. After ade­quate
qualifications have been
met by the Electrical and Me­chanical
Engineering-- depart­ments
a visiting committee of
the Engineering Council for Pro­fessional
Development (ECPD),
will \be invited to Auburn for
the purpose of examining the
curricula and in turn file a re­port
to the ECPD. Final decision
will be made by the ECPD after
careful analysis of the report.
Dr. David W. Mullins, execu­tive
vice president, is working
with the committee and offers
the following statement:
"Every effort is being made to
develop a plan to correct any
weakness that exists and restore
the curricula to accreditation at
the earliest possible moment. We
are very grateful for the whole­hearted
and constructive coope­ration
we are receiving from all
groups—students, alumni, pro­fessional
organizations and the
public in general.
CURRENTLY STUDYING the electrical and mechanical engi­neering
problems here is this three man board of consultants shown
with President Draughon. They are Professor Fred H. Pumphrey,
of the University of Florida; Professor Leo J. Lasaille, dean emeritus
of the School of Engineering, Louisiana State University; and Dr.
Ralph Morgen, director of the Purdue University Research Founda­tion.

Feb. 3, has been re-scheduled
for next Tuesday, Feb. 11, from
7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Langdon Hall.
The session is intended to study
leadership techniques and re­sponsibilities
of the group leader.
It will be the second in a series
of two conventions sponsored by
Student Government.
The first session was held on
Jan. 27 in the Union Ballroom,
where members of the Psychology
Department conducted instruction
on the methods by which a leader
can get maximum efficiency from
his group. The 60 students in at­tendance
were broken down into
two groups for discussion pur­poses.
The Speech Department is to
conduct the second convention.
Lectures will be presented by Dr.
William S. Smith, speaking on the
responsibilities and techniques of
leadership; Prof. John A. Stovall,
speaking on parlimentary proce­dure,
and Director of Student Af­fairs
James E. Foy, speaking on
the responsibilities of student
leaders to the student body.
Although letters of invitation
have been mailed to many student
leaders, anyone interested in this
type of leadership is invited to at­tend.
Application blanks for students
interested in representing API as
delegates to the Auburn Confer­ence
on International Affairs
(ACOIA) are now in the Student
Government office at the Union.
Seventy API delegates from
varied campus activities and asso­ciations
are desired, states Stewart
McKnight, member of the Senate
Central Committee for ACOIA.
The Senate is sponsoring the Con­ference.
Prospective delegate's,'" 'suggests
McKnight, might be students in­terested
in future student govern­ment
positions, those versed in
politics and world affairs, or those
interested in learning and parti­cipating
in a conference of this
nature.
API delegates will combine
with representatives from some
18 institutions in A l a b a m a,
Georgia and Florida and will
principly concern themselves with
discussion and participation in
seminar groups. Three prominent
speakers will address the dele­gates
in sessions open to the gen­eral
public.
Committees comprised of Senate
members are preparing for AC­OIA.
They are: Central Commit­tee—
McKnight, Don Meadows,
Morris Savage; Men's Housing
and Faculty Housing—Don Mea­dows;

Over For Another
The Auburn Players presen­tation
of "The Moon is Blue"
ended a very successful first
week Saturday night in the Big­gin
Hall Art Gallery.
The controversial comedy,
which had one of the longest
runs on Broadway, was directed
for the Players by Robert
Knowles.
The play will run through Sat­urday
night of this week. This
period includes an extra week's
performance due to the unex­pected
interest shown by students
and townspeople.
Since it has been playing to
capacity or near capacity crowds,
tickets should be obtained at the
Langdon Shops prior to attend­ance
to insure entrance to the
production.
Cast in starring roles are Bob

Comedy 'No Time For Sergeants' Set
For One Night Stand In Columbus
COLUMBUS, Ga.—The entire
New/York production of the hit
cpn\edy, "No Time For Ser­geants,"
will be presented at the
Jordan High School Auditorium,
in Columbus Saturday, Feb. 15,
in .a -5:30 p.m. matinee' and at
8:30 p. m. (EST) evening per­formance.
The production will star Char­les
Hohman, who replaced Andy
Griffith when Griffith left the
cast last year. "No Time for Ser­geants,"
is being presented by
the Three Arts League of Coium-pus,
and is currently touring ma­jor
U.1 S. Cities.
The comedy, which was taken
from the book written by Mac
Hyman of Cordele, Ga., was pro­duced
on Broadway by Maurice
Evans. Evans personally designed
the portable "cage" stage which
makes it possible to transport
all the effects used on Broadway.
When the play is given in Col­umbus,
the audience will see the
same staging and effects, includ­ing
the airplane and the para­chute,
that New York audiences
saw.
Ira Levin adapted Mac Hy­men's
best-selling novel about
the peace-time Air Force and the
havo'c wrought when a charm­ingly
naive Georgia plowboy is
drafted into it. For sheer hilarity,
"No Time for Sergeants" has
done for the Air Force what "Mr.
Roberts" did for the Navy and
"Teahouse of the August Moon"
did for the Army.
Brooks Atkinson of the New
York Times said '"No Time for
Sergeants" is " . . . hilarious!
It is the most lunatic comedy
that has turned up in a blue
moon. Wonderful!" Walter Kerr
of the New York Herald Tribune
called it "Irresistible. A Block­buster!"
Time magazine describ­ed
it as "A really good evening.
Fine and boisterous," while Life
said it was "A wildly funny hit."
Tickets are pricea at $2.85 and
$3.85 for the evening perform­ance;
and at $1.85, $3 and 3.85 for
the matinee. They may be pur­chased
by mailing a check or

from gift certificates to a large
T-bone steak. First prize, an A-l
Used Ford car, will be contri­buted
by the Tiger Ford Com­pany.
It will be turned over to
AVA soon for display around
the campus.
The winners will be chosen
through heat elimination. The
judges and inspectors of this
event will consist of faculty
members of the Engineering De­partment
who will assist AVA
committee members in inspecting
the cars. Special attention will be
given by this committee to the
car wheels, bearings, steering and
brakes. A car can be disquali­fied
for faulty craftsmanship.
Cars should not excxeed 90

Plainsman Mistaken
In Mag Hall Report
An article in last week's
Plainsman describing Taylor
H a m i l t o n as the newly elected
president of Magnolia Dormi­tories
was in error. Hamilton
was actually elected President
of the Magnolia Dormitories
Counselors, a distinct post f r om

will be given a two hour excuse
from classes—an hour before and
an hour after blood is given. Men
students will aso be excused
from drill if they give blood at
that time. Again this year, as
done previously, those who give
blood during this drive will re­ceive
a card permitting them or
a member of their family to r e ­ceive
free blood anywhere in
the United States within a per­iod
of six months.
The drive is being promoted
by the Birmingham Center of the
Red Cross, and the blood obtained
during this time will be distri­buted
in this area by the Red
Cross.
Last year the drive brought in
Approximately 850 pints of blood.
This year the Red Cross hopes
to equal or top last year's num­ber.
Anyone who is interested in
helping the Red Cross workers
during the blood drive is asked
to turn his name in to Tom Var-ner
or Tom Brakefield of the

Third Floor Politics 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, F e b r u a r y 5, 1958 "CAST OUT
LITHE AVAN?"CAMPUS »$m
Soon to awake from the long hiberna­tion
that it has been in since last spring,
Campus Politics is tossing and turning,
dreaming of the short time it has left to
p r e p a r e for the Forage, better known as
Spring Elections.
Already its internal organs are func­tioning-
Although outside observers would
notice very l i t t l e movement, smiling peo­ple
and cheery greetings are to be found
in ever increasing numbers on the Union
Building's third floor every weekday af­ternoon-
The people that work on Village Fair
Committees, in Student Government, and
on the Glom or Plainsman staffs are be­coming
so foad of coffee breaks with as­p
i r i n g politicians, that the nation's coffee
economy must s u r e l y be enjoying a
booming rise in total production.
The impromptu caucus is g e t t i n g a h a rd
workout, with faction after faction whis­p
e r i n g behind closed doors about plans to
secure coveted nominations for the posi­tions
they desire. Aspirants for every of­fice
on the campus are beginning to drift
across Ross Square, walk through the Un­ion
Cafeteria and casually climb the stairs
to t h e t h i r d floor, t r y i n g to catch the eye
or shake the hands of the brilliant policy
makers of the p a r t y in hope of being re­membered
when the nominations are
made.
As the weeks fly by the glad-handing
will become more obvious, and people,
like instruments of an orchestra approach­ing
the end of a symphony, will become
louder and louder with good-will and flat­t
e r y until they reach a mighty crescendo
on election day. Then, with bitter disap­pointment
for some and colossal elation
for others, Campus Politics will head to
his cave for a long w i n t e r ' s nap. — Roll.
Big Brothers Needed
Sky Bowl Football Game
Here at A u b u r n we pride ourselves on
our world famous spirit. It is mentioned
every day but just h e w much of it is just
t a l k?
Spirit is a product of a t h r i v i n g mutual
understanding among the members of a
group. It is founded on the faith that to­gether
they possess a superior quality and
capability. It thrives on interdependence.
No "imperishable record" can stand long
if t h e r e is a constant gnawing away of its
foundation.
Auburn is f o r t u n a t e enough to have stu­dents
from all over the world. These stu­dents
are the best of their countries. The
p r i m a r y reason that they are here is not
to give t h em an opportunity to study here
in the states. As selfish as it seems, these
students are h e r e to broaden our own edu­cation.
It comes back to the old fact that
an education is more than lectures, T-squares,
and sliderules.
The educated man must k n ow not only
something of the world situation but he
must realize t h a t t h e people of other coun­t
r i e s have ideas and emotions very simi­l
a r to ours.
The typical foreign student arriving on
t h e campus is met by the Auburn police
and is either taken to Dr. Vallery or if he
is busy, t h e student is t a k e n directly to t he
derm.
He is left to the misery and worry of
his first registration and then to find out
what such symbols as BnH 91 represent
when he tries his first day of classes. His
"text book" English is quite different
from the lectures with which he is con­fronted.
He is away from home for the
first time, four years and many thousands
of miles away.
We are proud of our spirit and yet we
let this happen every quarter. We boast of
our friendliness and completely ignore a
part of our own group.
There is an urgent need for an advisor
or a big brother system to be installed on
our campus. These men are all leaders in
t h e i r native countries. If we can show
more interest we will be repaid many
times over by their r e t u r n e d interest in
pur campus life.—Castellow.

WILLIE WRITES
Wedding Jitters
Student Indifference
Auburn—Loveliest Village of the Plains
—after the initial outburst, calmly ac­cepted
the fact that its football team was
t h e best in the country. This is to be de­sired;
it was expected.
However, it accepted with equal placi­d
i t y the news that two of its engineering
curriculums had been degraded to t h e sta­t
u s of second class. This is not to be de­sired.
So-called controversial issues have
gone ignored by 99 per cent of the student
body as the Senate strives mightily to
reach a solution to traffic, lost and found,
group insurance, or a dozen other prob­lems
which would, in some way, affect
every individual in the school.
I t presents a r a t h e r ludicrous picture;
less than a score trying to decide what
approximately 8,000 students want when
placed in t h e Union Snack Bar was utilized
almost entirely by a small group of men­t
a l l y deficient children.
But now a last ditch effort by t h e Sen­a
t e to p e n e t r a t e the general apathetic at­t
i t u d e is paying off- A door to door poll
conducted by the senators on their own
time revealed that even if they weren't
i n t e r e s t e d enough to make their convic­tions
known, most students were at least
aware of the different problems on the
campus. F u r t h e r face to face quizzing d r ew
enthusiastic approval of denunciation of
t h e proposed solutions to t h e situations.
We are not concerned with the issue
here. The most significant point of t h e poll
is concerned with t h e response it received
from the students interviewed. The fact
t h a t they were interested when actually
Sure, my ex-roommate was to
Be married." Nothing weird or
strange about that. Nevertheless
there was a certain and myster­ious
feeling that seemed' to en­shroud
my mood as I drove tow­ard
the city in Mississippi that
was to host the blissful union.
I know that my uncertain feel­ings
stemmed from the experience
of learning practically all of the
traits of my ex-roommate—his
strong as well as his weak points.
The experience is similar to the
situation in which the hometown
boy who becomes a doctor and
then comes back to his hometown
to practice medicine finds him­self.
The home crowd often tend
to be wary of the lad's talents
due to the fact they have known
the boy all of his life. And for
this reason they may also tend
to exaggerate his boyhood insta­bility.
This is also the reason that I
was apprehensive of the ensuing
event.
Upon arrival at the home of
the future groom at the hour of
12:30 a. m., I promptly retired.
At approximately 8:35 a. m. I
was aroused from what might
be termed as a "deathly" slum­ber.
Jostling me to reality was
the "groom" to be. Before gain­ing
even half control of my rea­soning
faculties, he began the
usual interrogation that is al­ways
necessary after a brief ab­sence
one from another. Suffice
it to say that my sleeping was
to be no more for some duration.
From my initial contact with
my buddy, I tried to observe any
tension that might be building
within him. Usually, one denotes
tension of a type by "going"
to the other extreme in trying to
appear calm, cool, and collected.
At first, I was baffled. He was
as natural as a Walt Disney pro-
BY DON WILLIAMS
duction in real life. Surely, I
thought to myself, "I'm not the
only nervous person in this un­dertaking?"
I was indeed per-plexexd.
While his mother made prepa­ration
for the wedding at the
church, my friend and I prepared
a late breakfast. Perhaps this
would be void of note had not
my pal attempted to scramble
the -egg shells rather than the
usual part. 'Another thing; but­tering
.bread.before putting it in
the automatic toaster just is not
efficient. The appearance of these
minute discrepancies in his us­ually
dogmatic behavior brought
forth my true suspicion—he was
"shook."
!The day progressed. I noticed
a distinct lack of appetite on the
part of my ex-roomy. At times
he paced the floor, but he would
quickly "catch" himself and as­sume
a more relaxed endeavor.
Again. I thought he regained his
composure as I spied him read­ing
a periodical, but until this
day, I do not understand how he
managed to comprehend any
subject matter holding the mag­azine
in an up-side-down posi­tion.
Nevertheless, he attempted
to intelligently discuss |he
scanned material.
Somehow we arrived at the
church. By this time, at the
slightest emotional tendency, my
friend would relieve his tension
with an outbreak of laughter. I
merely tightened.
The wedding transpired with­out
mishap. The happy bride and
groom were elated; I was on the
verge of tears. I suppose at this
time I was fully aware of what
had occurred. Looking Back, 1

Goliath and Simon Girty
Stalin, Herod and Hitler
Came up from the hot and dirty

And Judas made eleven,
Came on the field with hate in

To meet the Angels of Heaven,
Santa's boot was put to the ball,
Followed by eleven charging

Heaven's mighty team of Saints,
Kicked off to those of Sin.
Bluebeard gathered in the ball,
But the advance was Very slight,
Lincoln hit him on the twenty,
With a show of tackling might.
From that point on, the-game
Produced a never ending roar,
As history's greatest football
teams,
Fought without a score.
Once, David saw his chance,
And passed to Robert E. Lee,
But Judas hung him with a tackleV
on the Demon's twenty-three.
The Infernal crew was held also,
They could not mount an "attack,
Which would give full-'range to

Hitler ranted, Hitler raved
And Lucifer did the' -same;
And in the-huddle,' they conceived

"They play it fair," Hitler said,
"So -we will play it foul.
They turn the:other cheek, instead
Of letting out a howl."
So elbows, fist and knees were
used
By the Devil's men that day,
And the game became a deadly
struggle
Instead of. a form of play.
That's the way the game was
played,

But ere the duel was o'er they
learned
That cheating is for fools.
The game moved on. No score was
made.
Would the band of Evil prevail?
Could the Heavenly Group e-

Could they conquer despite tra­vail?
The clock sped on, the referee
stood
Ready to fire the gun.
Did the Saints have a touchdown
play to call?
There was time for only one.
There was nothing to do but run
for it
David darted like the wind;
When he shot past Benedict
Arnold,
There arose a deafening din.
Now Goliath, his ancient foe,
Stood square in David's path
A great and strong and deadly
' man,
Given to mighty wrath.
But he reckoned not with David's
speed,
And found himself appalled
As the slingshot king hastened

And" left him there, sprawled.
Across the goal line David raced,
, And .the score was six to zero.
Josua attempted the conversion
But it was blocked by Nero.
No matter, David's run had won,
And the Saintly Scribes wrote

Winter Driving
These v e r y w i n t r y days we've been hav­ing
for the past few weeks are a natural
encouragement to drive to class. I t ' s just
too cold for walking when you can ride, but
t h e chance of auto accidents goes up as
t h e temperature drops, according to the
campus police department.
Chief Dawson reports that a number of
small collisions have taken place recently
—mainly as a result of limited vision
through fogged windshields and windows.
None of the accidents have been serious,
surprisingly enough- We have seen more
t h a n one motorist driving around t h e cam­pus
p e e r i n g through a hole h a s t i ly scraped
in t h e icy coating1 of a windshield-
Two such autos bearing down on each
other have about the visibility of a couple
of Sherman tanks—but not n e a r l y t h e dur­able
fenders that tanks have.
Chief Dawson urges students to be care­ful
especially in pulling out of parking
spaces and in making left turns on our
crowded campus streets. And commuting
s t u d e n t s are cautioned to start in plenty
of time so t h a t they may get to t h a t eight
o'clock class without undue traffic risks.
ROLL CALL
Science Fiction Real?
BY DICK ROLL
Auburn — "The Loveliest and
Friendliest Village on the Plains",
a phrase often spoken by the many
who have visited this haven of
friendly people.
A small discrepency seems to
have slipped in these last few
quarters, with all the new trans­fer
students and freshmen. These
new additions
to the Auburn
. campus haven't
seemed to grasp
this grand tra­dition
of friend­ship
and spirit -
u a 1 together­ness
that is
i: predominant on
this campus. A
1 Hey Day is
sponsored, b y
Squires, at the start of each new
quarter to enliven this friendly
spirit, but recently these efforts
have been spurned by many-Van
campus.: For Auburn to stay the
great-school it is we need to grow
even friendlier with our larger
population. We need to get out
every day and show these new-
-comers that they were never at
a friendlier place than Auburn.
The cold clear air should ring
with the cheerful greetings of
people who have nothing in com­mon
except that they both have
the pleasure of attending Auburn.
Meet and make new friends
by just speaking to them on cam­pus
everytime you see them. Make
it a habit of speaking to people
you don't know and don't confine
your greetings to old friends. We
have lots of things to be proud of
on this campus,-so lets keep our
friendliness one of them.
The school has expanded rapidly
in the last few years, but we
shouldn't let valuable things like
friendliness slip away from us. It
takes so little effort to speak to
someone and does both parties so
much good. You will feel much
better and your problems won't be
half as big, if you try spreading
cheer to others and not spending
so much time feeling blue and
worrying about your troubles.
After all, : everyone has them
and yours aren't actually any
.worse than the other fellow's. You
can be a major part in -keeping
Auburn just like one -big frater-
-hity with no dues to pay and no
annual assessments to w o r ry
-about. (Just -quarterly assess­ments)
Then you will be able to
see -your friends anywhere you
go, from Pop's to the forestry plot,
-they are all your friends. Nothing
is-more valuable in these times of
•a troubled • world than many
friends with one thing in common
^-you attended Auburn together.

The Inevitable is approaching!
Since the first cave man dis­covered
that he could roll a log
with much less effort than he
could drag it along the ground,
and unknowlingly - invented the
wheel, men have delved into, ex­perimented
with and almost con­quered
the three dimensions of
space. Horizontal and vertical
travel is now not only common­place
but is also accomplished at
speeds that are becoming great­er
as each new rocket is developed
and each new propellent is tested.
Presently, scientists are hearing
the threshold of space. Most
people think that as soon as un­limited
space travel is realized
and the first three dimensions are
actually conquered, the insatiable
mind of science will be put to rest
at last, so far as travel is con­cerned.
This however, is not true.
The beginning of. the study of
Time as the fourth dimension can
be found in the Theory of Rela­tivity,
formulated by Albert Ein­stein
in 1914. In it, the famous
scientist states that motion causes
time and space to contract, which
leads to the- contemporary mathe­matical
belief that a person who
spends a considerable amount of
time traveling at, speeds approach­ing
that of light Will find himself
biologically younger-than he would
have been had he stayed in a
slower state of motion, such as
we have on the earth. Bioligists
do not agree with this theory and
emphatically state that physical
age is independent of motion.
Both sides of this argument will
survive, of course, until one or the
other is proved correct, but in
the next few months, both the
United States and the Union of
Soviet Socialists Republic plan to
put into the sky 18,000 mile per
hour satellites that contain atomic
clocks. These clocks will be ex­pected
to radio and record their
ticks in such a way that they can
be compared with the clocks tick­ing
on earth; and if they have a
slower tick, Einstein's theory will
be definitely proven. Thus the
fourth dimension may soon be
entered.
Now your imagination can run
rampant. As you travel faster and
faster the atomic clocks tick
slower and slower until each tick
is a day long and then a month
and then a year passes before you
Hear another tick. Soon you reach
the speed where biological pro­cesses
stop. Time is literally
standing still and you are not
growing any older. But you con­tinue
to accelerate. Suddehly you
are reliving1 the great moments of
history, not from a history book
but in living color, cinemascope,
and with "stereophonic sound'. The
construction of the Pyramids, "the
assasination of Julius Caefear„-the
Surrender of Cornwallis at"Yc*k-tbwn
or the day the Braves won
the Pennant can be seen with the
naked eye.
Years, perhaps even centuries
will pass before this type of travel
will take place, if.it can be done.
People living today will never
travel in time,. and, more than
likely, no one'will ever be" able'to,
but if the inventor-df the" "atomic
bomb thinks "that time can be
decreased," why couldn't it be re­versed?
CAMPUS TO CAMPUS
Is Co-Education Desirable?
The McGill Daily student news
paper of McGill University, Mon­treal,
Canada, reports that New
York University is faced with the
question of whether co-education
is desirable. There seems to be at
least a " chance that the school,
long a citadel
for males, will
start admitting
female s t u d ­ents.
Believe it or
not, the school
spent $25,000 on
a study eon-ducted
by ex-
-perts to de­termine
wheth­er
Tgirls would
be desirable at NYU:" Any Au-ourhite
could -have gladly furn­ished
" the mfoimattofl' 'free of
charge. ": •""."..".—
I n "support of admitting girls,
the faculty jpnembers -have pre­sented
the following arguments:
"Co-educational would make our
students gentlemen. Our 'students
as a whole have not had" social ex­perience.
It would'-improve 'the
social .atmosphere." O vl *•
It's a shame that the NYU boys
are ^inexperienced. But the facr
uity is "right; they could Igain a
lot of' "experience with girls
around. _> .
- But of. course, there are always
kill-joys, and the ones at NYU
contend that co-education would
destroy "the desired separation of
the "student from his own enviro­nment."
'
They also say that male students
might lose detachment if the girls
moved in. But who wants to be
detached?
Along the same line, the Daily
Texan • reports that a 19-year old
sophomore coed at Texas Tech
will attempt to enter Texas A&M
next fall arid if necessary" will
take court action to obtain en­rollment,
using as a basis for her
case the 14th Amendment' to the
Constitution. A&M, run strictly
on a military basis, has seen quite
a controversy lately with stiident
leaders becoming enflamed oil the
subject,
This" opinion won't change the
situation, but a "cadette" could
brighten up any military uniform.

'Umbach Trying For 12th Straight SEIW.A Championship
With 'Potentially The Best Team Auburn Has Had'
By Ronnie McCullars
"This is potentially the
best t e am we have ever had,
although we may be a year
away. With the exception
of one, all the boys are
sophomores and juniors."
Thus speaks Auburn wrest­ling
coach Arnold W. (Swede)
Umbach of his Tiger squad
that may be on its way to an­other
in a long line of SEC
championships.
Coach U m b a c h has been
leading wrestling teams at Au­burn
for years and has become
i
known as the best mat instruc­tor
in the SEC. His teams have
won eleven consecutive SEC
crowns.
"Although this year's team is
young we have a lot of depth.
The second string boys have
shown us some mighty good
matches so far this season,"
said Umbach. Auburn has a
couple of outstanding fresh­men
in Byron Mayhen, 157,
from Oregon, Va., who won the
Virginia State championship,
and Joe Crunkilton,' 130, from

New York state where he was
a district champ in the 137-
pound class.
FUNDS ARE NOT available
for a recruiting system here at
Auburn, so the boys come here
to wrestle on their own. Many
letters are received from high
school boys all over the coun­try
wanting to come to Auburn
and wrestle. This is proven by
the number of Alabamians on
the squad.
There are only eight or nine
Alabama high schools which
feature wrestling t e a m s al­though
it is a fast-growing-sport
in this state. Eight high
schools in the city of Atlanta
have wrestling teams.
Arnold Haugen, 167-pounder,
moved with his parents to
Iowa State University last sea­son,
but he came back to wres­tle
with the Plainsmen.
The SEC has the smallest
wrestling program of any con­ference
in the nation. Many
people are wanting to assess
money for grant-in-aids for
the grapplers to increase the
wrestling program.
Elsewhere in the nation most
heavyweights are football play­ers.
They wrestle to keep in
trim because wrestling demands
the 'best physical I condition
from a boy. Coach Umbach
says that Auburn -heavies have
grappled many football All-
Ame'ricans;
SEC MATCHES average a-round

"Wrestling Is a sport for all
sizes and shapes of-hoys," stat­ed
Umbach. "Little kids can
participate in this sport.-They
don't have to be big and fast
as needed in football, or long
and lanky like a basketball
player."
Three SEC champs and two
runner-ups are returning from
last year's' squad.
Gerald Cresap, 130, Bob Ma­son,
137—the only senior on the
team^and Arnold Haugen, 167,
are the champs back for their
second shot at the SEC title.
Emory Kirkwood, 167, and
Marx Bra'num, 177, were sec­ond-
place winners in their
weight- divisions last season.
Leonard Ogburn is doing a
fine job leading the 147-pound
class while being hampered by
partial blindness.
Mason and Jordan McCrea,
123, hold the honor of being un­defeated,
a title which several
Umbach wrestlers have held.

would appear that Auburn is
destined to retain its SEC title.

(WRESTLERS, page 6)
BY PAUL HEMPHILL
A well-fed but still-hungry Auburn Tiger arose
from a day of pleasant digestion today, honed its
newly-sharpened teeth and cast a cautious eye to­ward
the impending danger coming over the hill.
But the big fella had a hard time pushing to
the rear of its mind the wholly unexpected—startl­ing,
if you please—chain of events that has sent
it within a cat's-whisker of the top of the SEC
basketball jungle.
Foremost in an Auburn mind, of- course, con­tinues
to be the stunning knockput punch delivered
by the Tigers to Georgia Tech last Monday before
a near-hysterical, capacity Sports Arena crowd.
SLIGHT FAVORITES before game time, but still
surrounded by doubt as to how authentic was the
three-game victory string that had drawn a spot­light
toward them, Joel Eaves' youngsters bolted
from the gate and completely demolished the
then-in-contention Rambling 'Reck.
It was the second time in a dozen days the
Tigers had spanked the Engineers. Two weeks
ago today they did it the hard way—in Atlanta's
spacious Alexander Memorial Coliseum and in
front of the biggest crowd seen by an Auburn team
in years.
The battle was a non-conference affair, but it
didn't make a whole lot of difference to the in­spired
Plainsmen, who deemed it as a good place
as any to shake off the chains of a so-so season
and begin basketball life anew.
Three nights later, eyebrows began to rise when
the scrapping Eavesmen outscored the potentially-good
Georgia Bulldogs by 28 points at Tiger Jimmy
Lee's stomping ground in Columbus, Ga.
But what really has set the basketball-watch­ing
folks of Auburn on their collective ear is the
aggressive, near - perfect play that has bowled
over Vanderbilt and Tech in the first two of a
four-game home stay.
In one of the most decisive wins in the con­ference
this year, Auburn (1) out-rebounded Tech,
79-32, (2) had all five starters in double figures,
one of 'em with 27, (3) won by 21 points, 99-78,
even though the Engineers had a 44.9 field goal
percentage.
High-pointer Lee—who has scored 88 points in
the last four outings—brought the crowd to its
feet before it had a chance to get settled by con­necting
on three straight fielders in the opening
minute, "sending his mates 'way ahead to stay.
Tech got as close as they came all night when
they pulled to 8-11 with five minutes gone. But
Eaves' "shuffle" began to click, and nine minutes
later it was Auburn by 26, 40-14. ,
Tech's sho't-gunning guard buddies, Terry
Randall and Buddy Blemker, tried valiantly to
save face, but the hill they were trying to conquer
was much too steep.
By halftime the toll had mounted to 53-31 as
Tech's Whack Hyder retreated to a quiet dressing
JUST LIKE THE AUBURN TIGERS,'Re Frederick is flying'
high. The Tigers, led by their captain and high scorer have copped
their last four games. Watching Rex score two is crack Vanderbilt
guard Jim Henry. In the Commodore game Henry and Frederick
were the high scorers. The Tennessee smoothie had 24 while Au­burn's
pride cashed in on 26. Rex is currently leading the squad in
scoring and rebounding, a feat which he accomplished last year as
a sophomere.
room for a regrouping of forces.
The Yellow Jackets got blasted the minute they
walked back on the court to fact taunting fans and
hungry Tigers: •,
HUSTLING TERRY CHANDLER did the ball-hawking
and the other starters did the scoring that
made it a 30-point Tiger edge with 17:35 left.
Tech had some out for the half in a full-court
press, but not-to-denied Frederick, Chandler and
Co. smashed it in little over two minutes by run­ning
it to death.
The first sign of life from Randall and Blemker
wasn't nearly enough to more than slightly con­cern
the Plainsmen, who began running their
"shuffle" again, and having a whale of a time at
it.
Frederick may have been saying "it's all over
boys" when he stole the ball under his defensive
basket, drove all the way down court and slam­med
it through with 11:18 to go.
High man for the night's work, of course, was
Lee with 27. Corner's Frederick followed among
Tigers with 18, and Chandler, Bill McGriff and
Bobby Tucker followed the big guy with 16, 16 and
irrespectively.
Randall and Blemker admirably fired away for
21 and 16 in an otherwise sub-par Tech perform­ance.
The big difference, naturally, came under the
boards. Tech's top two rebounders managed 7 and
6, While Frederick and Chandler picked off 17 and
-12. •
But the Plainsmen won Saturday night's scrap
with Vandy strictly arid simply on a 5 per cent
better field goal average. The .much-bigger" Com­modores
grabbed 42 rebounds to the Tigers' .40.
LEE, AS AGAINST TECH, put the Tigers ahead
"early -to stay when he swiped a pass and went all
the way in the first minute'of play.
Through Frederick's all-around generalship,
Lee's • ball-hawking~and Tucker's scoring arid floor
playJ, Auburn had a whopping 14-point mar-gin at
intermission^ " < '•' ''•' ' " ' " " - ?'
' And: it took a 5-7 bundle of dynamite to keep
it from getting worse in the last 20 rniniites. '•'
Dead-eye Jimmy1 French, who had played less
than'three miriutes'in the first half," made his a p ­pearance
a'sensational"one'by going ">7'-for $ -from
the1 field ^before the- Commodores 'started taking
desperation shots late in -the evening: ~) '" *S
~ Frederick, again, led scoring with 26, plus
pacing both clubs in rebounds. -Bobby 'Tucker,-the
underrated one, fallowed with; ;22 -and held the
"spark'"•that kept his mates going.
c : 2Buf like* leaves warned-his jubilant youngsters
after th'e'Tech demolition job, "We're taking ^erh
brie' at -a -time now."
"The hext "one" comes Saturday, in the Tiger's
Arena, against revenge-bent Georgia. ,
Never mind, cautions the Tiger teacher, who
follows at the same place Monday, same time.
That's another day . . .

SEC Scraps: Coach John

commented that his boys had
no intention of losing two ball
games in a row — there was
nothing they could do about the
second , . . Alabama has only
five home-state boys on their
squad and one of those is a
starter, Capt. Jim Fulmer . . .
Coach Adolph Rupp of Ken­tucky
has a pet peve—getting
beat by a team led by Bluegrass
boys .
Six members of Auburn's 1957 national champions were drafted
by professional teams at the National Football League's winter
meeting held Jan. 28 in Philadelphia.
In round five, fullback Billy Atkins was selected by the San
Francisco Forty-Niners, joining Bobby Hoppe, Frisco's fourth
choice in the draft last Dec. 2. Also performing on the coast next
fall will be All-America end Jimmy Phillips, first pick of the Los
Angeles Rams.
Ben Preston, the big tackle who recovered from an injured
knee in time to make several all-star units last season, was Wash­ington's
10th choice. Center Bill Austin, a football junior, was
picked on the 18th round by Detroit along with ex-Tiger quarter­back
Jimmy Cook, the Lion's 25th choice.
Another junior, Cleve Wester, was the 22nd round selection
of the New York Giants. Wester is in line for a starting tackle berth
with Auburn's 1958 eleven so the pros will have to wait at least
another season before they can put him to work.
End Hindman Wall rounded out this year's player selection
as far as Auburn is concerned. Wall, who, like Austin and Wester
has another season of eligibility, was the Philadelphia Eagles' 27th
draft choice.

A 'Stung' Yellow Jacket:
'Never Saw 'Em Like Thai
You just never can tell . .
It was getting late Monday night in Auburn, Alabama.
And a long-distance view of the little place where Auburn's
Tigers play a few games each Winter was pretty much the same
as usual.
Suddenly-deserted stands, pretty girl friends waiting on
their ball-playing beaus, busy statisticians and equally-occupied
sports writers. . '. . They were all there, like the previous Satur­day
and the many other basketball nights before.
But there was something different abouli this one. . . . some­thing
you wouldn't have caught had you not moved in a little
closer toward one, then the other of the two clusters of folks gather­ed
at each end of the Sports Arena.
Winning coach and losing coach were airing their views to
inquiring writing men on the proceedings that had directly preceded
. . . just like it says above, as always.
And that's where the difference between this evening and any
other made its entrance.
The Coach who'd lost the ball game (by 21 points, too) had,
by far, the larger listening audience.
If you'd just walked into the place, and hadn't known exactly
what had taken place beforehand, you would have sensed In a
minute that something big, something momentous had come about.
The loser, "Whack" Hyder of Georgia Tech, could have told
you that much without saying a word.
His look of stunned disbelief branded him as a man who'd
been rudely shaken out of his wits.
And what he had to say, in an ever-so-credulous voice, verified
the fact.
"I don't know what to say," began Hyder.
"The only explanation I can give for the way we plrfyed is that
we're not used to these tight places like we played in here tonight.
"You know, 12 of our first 14 games were at home in our new
place (7,000-seat Alexander Memorial Coliseum). Now we've had
to adjust to two straight (Alabama and Auburn) in the smallest
auditoriums in the conference. j
"But outside of that, I don't know what happened."
Some writer helped Hyder along by inquiring about individual
Tigers who'd caused him the most heartaches through the night.
And that sent the usually-calm Tech teacher off on anothcr
disbelieving discourse:
"That's the thing that gets me," answered Hyder.
"EVERY ONE of 'em was hitting and doing everything right.
Usually when we play Auburn, there'll be one guy who does most
of the damage. Like last week, for instance, when this Lee scored
30 against us.
"This is the first time we've ever played 'em when ALL of
'em were hot.
"But the really amazing thing about it is that we hit about
45 per cent of our shots, got all the breaks in officiating, and still
lost by 2 points!
"I'll tell you one thing," emphasized Hyder, "If Auburn keeps
shooting like this, they'll have the best team I've seen in this con­ference
in five years.
"I've never seen anything like it."
And you had to believe the gentleman was sincere.
' Eaves, the winner who had insisted all along his team; was a
good one, must have been the proudest man around as he accepted
congratulations at the other end of the Sports
Arena.
"It's the best game, by far, of any team I've
]iad here," beamed he.
" I still can't pin-point any one thing that's
made us a better ball club. Probably the
mportant thing that's happened was that win
over Tech in Atlanta (two weeks ago today).
| That gave us the confidence we needed.
"And of course we're not doing any more of
that long-distance traveling . . . That has helped
Eaves us physically."
Eaves made no apologies on the failure of his club to satiate
the screaming crowd's hunger for 100 points against arch-rival
Tech.
"The important thing is to win, not to lay it on the people
you're playing."
You don't find many jolk& like Joel Eaves nowadays . . .

Dollars needlessly spent are a TWO-way waste! (1) You won't
have then when you need them for something really important.
(2) They contribute to inflationary pressures, help keep prices
on the rise. . . wasting away the urchasing power of dollars you
spend in the future. Saved dollars work just the opposite. De­posited
in your savings account, they earn extra dollars for you.
They help keep inflation under control, help you to get MORE
for the dollars you spend later. Thus, you are money ahead TWO
ways when you spend wisely, save persistently.

BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE
Today 1<«?. us apply the hot while light of sustained thinking to
the greatest single problem besetting American colleges. I refer,
of course, to homesickness.
It is enough to rend the heart, walking along a campus at
night and listening to entire dormitories sobbing themselves to
sleep. And in the morning when the poor, lorn students rise
from their tear-stained pallets and refuse their breakfasts and
shamble off to class, their lips trembling, their eyelids gritty,
it is enough to turn the bones to aspic.
What can bo done to overenmn homesickness? Well sir, the
obvious solution is for the student to put his home on rollers
and bring it to college with him. This, however, presents three
serious problems:
1) It is likely to play hob with your wine cellar; many wines,
as we all know, will not travel.
2) There is the matter of getting your house through the
Holland Tunnel, which has a clearance of only 14 feet, 8 inches.
This, of course, is ample for ranch houses, but quite impossible
for Cape Cods, Georgians, and Saltboxes, and I, for one, think
it would be a flagrant injustice to deny higher education to
students from Cape Cod, Georgia, and Saltbox.
3) There is the question of public utilities. Your house—
and, of course, all the other houses in your town—has wires
leading to the municipal power plant, pipes leading to the mu­nicipal
water supply and gas main. So you will find when you
start rolling your house to college that you are, willy-nilly,
dragging all the other houses in town with you. This will result
in gross population shifts and will make the Bureau of the
Census cross as bears.
No, I'm afraid that taking your house to college is not feasi­ble.
The thing to do, then, is to make your campus lodgings as
close a replica of your home as possible.
Adorn your quarters with familiar objects, things that will
constantly remind you of home. Your brother Sam, for instance.
Or your citizenship papers. Or a carton of Marlboros.
There is nothing like Marlboros, dear friends, to make you
feel completely at home. They're so easy, so friendly, so wel­come,
so likable. The filter is great. The flavor is marvelous. The
Flip-Top Box is wonderful. The tattoo is optional.
Decorating your diggings with familiar objects is an excellent
remedy for homesickness, but it is not without its hazards.
Take, for instance, the case of Tignor Sigafoos and Estabrook
Raunch who were assigned to share a room last fall in the
freshman dorm.
Tignor, an ice-skating addict from Minnesota, brought with
him 44 barrels over which he had jumped the previous winter
to win the Minnesota Jumping-Over-Barrels Championship.
Estabrook, a history major from Massachusetts, brought
Plymouth Rock.
Well sir, there was simply not enough room for 44 barrels and
Plymouth Rock too. Tignor and Estabrook fell into such a vio­lent
quarrel that the entire dorm was kept awake for twelve
days and twelve nights. Fiually the Dean of Men was called in
to adjudicate the dispute. He listened carefully to both sides of
the argument, then took Tignor and Estabrook and pierced their
ears and sold them to gypsies. I 1058, Mux .Sliuliuiiu
And now all is quiet in the dorm, and everyone sits in
peace and smokes his Marlboros, whose makers bring you
this column throughout the school gear.

All managers are urged to
watch the eligibility of the play­ers
on their team. Rule 9-B in
the intramural handbook states
that, "under no conditions may a
man represent two teams. If he
;!gets permission to play with an
••'independent team he must fin­ish
the season with that team.
After the season officially be­gins
no player may shift from
one team to another."
The days are getting longer
and warmer, which means that
soon the sound of horse hide
against a hickory will be heard
on the drill field: That indicates
that Softball is just around the
corner. Independents should be­gin
organizing their teams, since
the season officially begins the
first of next quarter.
The bowling alley is closed
for repairs so t h e ' lM tourna­ment
will be discontinued until
next week.
The Co-Recreational Tourna­ment
started this week with a
good turnout of 15 teams who
artTpIaying hard in the single
elimination tournament which
will draiw to a close next week.
Semi-final and 'final games will
be played Friday night, Feb. 7,
at 'Alumni Gym.
The beginning games held
victories for KAT-Theta Chi.
Befke DeRing scored highest for
the night with 10 points. ZTA-PKT
Won two out of three

scorer. ADPi-PDT won their

BRIGHT TIGER FUTURE
KEEPIN FIT FOR THE COMING YEAR in Ken Rice, one of the
hottest sophomore prospects to hit the Plains in quite a while. Rice
is from Bainbridge, Ga. and was one of the most sought after prep-sters
in the state. He has been tabbed as "one of the boys most
likely to succeed on the Auburn gridiron. The weight he is lifting
IS real.
By Jim Davis
Auburn will be a tough
club to beat next football
season-
Why such an optimistic
view? One reason goes by
the name of Ken Rice, a
245-pound guard who may
well be the best of the tal­ent-
laden 1957 Baby Tigers.
"The boy most likely to suc­ceed"
seems to be the general
opinion of all the freshman
coaches.
Rice hails from Bainbridge,
Ga., where he made the All-
State and all-regional teams
for two years.
That's a pretty good record
. . . but Ken's athletic ability
doesn't stop there.
Alot of questioning and the
modest 18-year-old will tell
you he holds all the heavy
weight weight-lifting records
for the State of Florida. Add
to that the twice-won state
shot - put championship and
heavy-weight wrestling cham­pionship
and you have a pret­ty
versatile athlete.
Rice had a terrific year at
tackle for the Auburn fresh­man
last fall. Against Alabama,
he started the day at tackle
for the Tigers but played the
rest of the day in the Bama
backfield. He has a habit of
that.
Ken has a tremendous amount
of potential—much to the dis­may
of Bobby Dodd and oth­ers—
and could play many
hours this fall for the defend­ing
champs.
Someone said Red Phillips'
All-America shoes must be
filled again, and who knows?
. . . Maybe this quiet, easy-go-.
ing guy will be the Ail-Amer­ican
Tiger of 1959 or '60.
