In Auburn's Greatest Year . . .
Enrollment, Budget, Sports, Bands
Take Spotlight In Review Of 1955
.While 1955 held the reins, many happenings jarred life
on the Auburn campus from all sides and in all degrees.
Recovering from a dual celebration of New Year's and
the Gator Bowl Championship, the API student body re^
turned to register for classes in January, 1955, and all that
goes with them.
Religious Emphasis Week got
things rolling in a proper frame of
mind. Even Samford Hall took a
new look at 'life after receiving
repairs, a long needed rejuvena­tion.
The Players presented "The
Crucible" and "Julius Caesar,"
both' highly praised, and the
Swedish. Gymnastic Team aiso
performed, to the delight of its
aWience.
The Land Grant College sys­tem
celebrated its centennial an­niversary
while our 'wrestlers
celebrated a win in every contest.
Also celebrating after hard-won
victories were the Phi Mu's and
Lambda Chi's, who captured first
place Skit Night prizes.
Cincinnati Symphony
The Cincinnati Symphony add-ways.
They were followed closely
by the Dorsey Brothers, who
brought their band down for the
IFC Dance, putting the topping on
a great Greek Week. At this
time Cordelia Parker was select­ed
as the Greek Goddess of 1955.
Village Fair brought a large'
crowd of high school seniors to
view the API domain with all of
its exhibits, including the fine
water show put on by the Dolphin
Club.
The 8 million dollar financial
needs of API received much pub­licity,
but received very little sat­isfaction
in the way of added
funds. The festivities of the Beaux
Arts Ball met with a much more
receptive audience as the costume
ball rolled on.
Joyce Van Tassle reigned over
the A Day game as "Miss A Day,"
while the football fans enjoyed a
preview of coming attractions.
Basketball
The basketball quintet flew high
for a time, once being the only
major undefeated squad in the na­tion.
But the dreams ended in a
few hard-fought decisions which
dropped the Tigers from the cham-jionship
ranks.
The Auburn Players again
scored, this time with "Thieve's
Carnival." The Union Building
was officially dedicated after a
full year of service and then cam­pus
elections threw the politicians
into high gear.
The IFC brought in another big
name band, Les Brpwn and His
Band of Renown, for a concert;
and the Union Dance Committee
christened the Eagle's Nest. The
Phi Mus and Kappa Sigs used
their musical notes to win Sphinx
Sing.
The trackmen tinder coach Hut­sell
won the SEC crown for the
second year as the diamond bri­gade
also turned in a good show­ing.
A comprehensive Auto Safety
Check was conducted to save lives
on the highways. Then an original
Glomerata was issued to record
the happenings of the class of 1955.
"Lake Quarter" ended with a large
graduation.
Record Enrollment
Fall Quarter opened with an
enrollment of over 7,900 students,
smashing all records. The well-remembered
football season was
highlighted by a completed "Wreck
Tech" mission and a thorough
"Beat 'Bama" affair.
Battle King was voted "Miss
Homecoming" and Mary Jim Es-slinger
captured the "Miss Au­burn"
title. A new capacity was
also attained by Cliff Hare Stad­ium,
which took on a large ad­dition
and a new press box.
Only a tie with Kentucky and
grueling upset before a Tulane
Homecoming crowd in the Sugar
Bowl marred the Tigers' good rec­ord.
But Ole Miss came out bet­ter
and Auburn took second place
and a bid to play the "Cinderella"
Vanderbilt team in the Gator
Bowl. And so ended the greatest
year in API's history, 1955.'

We Need A Library LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibfer
We need a new library. Neither does
anyone doubt this now, nor has anyone
doubted this for years, but no action has
been taken. Agreed, the library is at the
top of the president's list of things needed,
but its being on a want list doesn't bring
-Santa Claus.
Plans for a new library were delayed
when the proposed bond issue failed to
pass in the December 6 statewide election.
Now it is up to the legislature to find some
means of providing, revenue for our oper­ating
expenditures, not to mention the des­perately
needed expansion of facilities.
Georgia Tech has a new $2 million li­brary.
It has also recently completed an
installation of electronic computors. Both
of .these projects were aided bv private
contributions, although Georgia T.ech, like
Auburn,' is a state institution.
Is it not possible for Auburn to ask its
friends and alumni for funds for such a
worthy project as a new library? Ramsay
Hall was partially paid for by a contri­bution
made by Erskine Ramsay some
years ago. Somehow we feel that solicita­tions
might bear fruit.
Another method of raising funds is
through student fees. Students pay $2 per
quarter to retire the bonds issued to pay
for the Auburn Union Building. Might not
the college fee be raised to include library
funds?
Regardless of" how the money is to be
secured however, the fact remains that we
desperately need a new and larger library
that can adequately serve our' student
body: And we need it now. We can't con­sider
it a long range goal.
The time has come for someone to get
busy, whether it be legislature, or solicitor
and contributor, or Board of Trustees Fee
Committee.
A New Constitution
Alabamas' legislators are again facing
that knotty problem, reapportionment.
Since 1901 when the present antiquated
constitution was written, the legislature
has not been reapportioned, although t he
population of the state has shifted greatly.
Legislators are afraid to call a consti­tutional
convention for fear that it might
in exercising its powers go far further than
is intended. Indeed, these fears have been
supplemented by an Alabama Supreme
Court ruling which says that a convention
could not be limited.
Recently research professors of history
from Auburn and the University of Ala­bama
have testified before the legislators
in an effort to give the benefits of study
to our bewildered and stubborn lawmak­ers.
Whether the legislature will take any-ones'
advice we do not know, but we do
hope that they will see fit to have Ala­bama's
outdated ,outmoded constitution"'
rewritten. Georgias' constitution was re­written
as lately as 1945. Our student
body constitution was overhauled in 1951.
But our state constitution limps along with
hundreds of amendments attesting^t&Jits
inadequacies . _ «^v
Of course, reapportionment which would
shift power from rural to urban areas is
the real problem blocking progress. And
it is human nature for a county to want to
keep its representation rather than trans­fer
part of it to some other area. In 1901,
Black Belt counties had much larger pro­portions
.of the state population than they
now do. In. addition, the Birmingham and
Mobile areas had a far smaller share of
state population than now. Representa^
tioh, however, is still based on the 1901
population of Alabama.
It is to correct these inequities in rep­resentation
that Governor Folsom has re­peatedly
called for reapportionment. He
has wheedled and threatened, but so far
with no tangible results, unless you say
that his election is due to his reapportion­ment
plank.
On this issue we stand with the gover­nor.
The constitution definitely should be
revised or completely rewritten in order
to foster the Aubnrn spirit

Thanks, Townpeople
During the double rush of Christmas
and finals, many of the things that make
the Christmas spirit go without thanks,
though not without notice.
The Civitans and' the City of Auburn
spent a great deal of time and money in
putting up and maintaining the light dec­orations
that gave the warm Christmas
atmosphere to Auburn.
Although the decorations were surely
enjoyed by everyone in Auburn, they held
a special meaining for the students of
A.P.I, who observed the earlier part of the
Christmas season on the campus and away
from home.
The Plainsman takes the privilege of
thanking the Civitan members and the
City of Auburn for their fine .show of
Christmas spirit.
Sadie Hawkins Day
With the new leap year well ushered
in, it is logical to begin thinking of some­thing
to do with the extra day in February.
Since leap year entitles girls to the
privilege of "chasing" their man down, the
best thing to do with the extra day is to
proclaim their right by setting the 29th
aside as Sadie Hawkins Day.
This idea of a special day for the girls
is an old custom, although long ignored on
the Auburn campus. It began many.years
ago in Dogpatch, U.S.A., when the original
Sadie Hawkins father feared he would not
have grandchildren since there had been
no proposals to his daughter. Being of some
means in the community, he pulled a few
strings, cut a little red tape, and declared
the-first Sadie Hawkins' Day.
It was some deal! Sadie got her man,
and her father eventually became a grand­father.
Of course, the Sadie Hawkins Day at
-Auburn would not be held for the purpose
of grandchildren, but rather for the fel­lowship
the race would offer. .
The freshman cake race is held annu­ally.
Out of over a thousand, only one
gets kissed. Why should only a few bene­fit?
Think how much fun it would be if
everyone won!
Auburn has long overlooked a worth­while
custom by ignoring Sadie Hawkins
Day, but since 1956 is leap year, February
29th should be used to commemorate and
enjoy this old Sadie Hawkins Day.
Let's Support Basketball
During the fall season great crowds of
people thronged to football stadiums to
watch their favorite teams clash on the
gridiron. Now with the advent of basket­ball
season many of the basketball games
in the South are poorly attended.
The reason for this is not at all clear
as basketball is a great spectator sport.
There are few athletic events that move
along at as fast a pace as a good basketball
game between well matched teams. Let's
.get out and support these games down here
as well as they do in the North.
Leap Year
I Believe..
By Marie Peinhardt
For some time it has been the
desire of a number of college
students to have a weely col­umn
in the Plainsman in which
individual students can. express
his or her opinion on any aspect
of college religious life. We rea-t
lize how important it is to deve­lop
an interest and appreciation
of the beliefs of others and also
to think out one's own beliefs
and to try to live by them. There­fore
this column is being started
and contributions by any student
are welcomed.
What do we as college students
believe about religion? "I Be­lieve"
is quite different from "I
Know." In our realm of Chris­tian
faith, we know little but be­lieve
much. We live by faith or
belief. Most of the great Chris­tian
convictions can't be proved
absolutely but this doesn't mean
they are mere guesswork. They
rest upon very good evidence;
only they keep on going beyond
the edge of evidence in what is
often called "a leap of faith." Al­though
we cannot see God, we
see evidences all around us of
God's'"existence. . ..,
A serious mistake that people
sometimes make is -to suppose
that religious faith involves be­lieving
things that are unreason­able.
Belief is just a continuation
of knowledge and just as reason­able;
the only difference is that
it keeps on going after knowledge
stops. The known facts may take
us along a given road for, say,
ten miles. Faith or belief keeps
on going twenty or thirty miles—
in the same direction. Belief and
knowledge are inseparable; one
without the other is empty.
"How do I know that God is
good? I don't.
I" gamble like a man. I bet my
life
Upon one side in life's great war.
I must,
I can't stand out. I must take
sides. The man
Who is a neutral in this fight is
not
A man. He's bulk and body
without breath.
Cold leg of lamb without mint
sauce. A fool.
He makes me sick. Good Lord!
Weak tea! Cold slops!
I want to live, live out, not
wobble through
My life somehow, and then into
the dark."
—G. A. Studdert-Kennedy
from "I Believe"

t
Well, now that everyone has
exchanged his tired, wornout old
year for that shiny, bright new
one, and w§f have already broken
our first ten New Year's resolu­tions,
it is high time to look ahead
i and think of the future. For the
male of the species, this means
only one thing: LEAP YEAR!!
For the next three hundred and
sixty-six days, we men (and I
use the term loosely) must be on
our constant guard to outwit the
the wily female (I also use this
term loosely). It will be our never
ceasing problem to successfully
combat the female in her instinc­tive
quest for a mate. Man, you
can't even trust your' own mother
during leap year.
Skepticism — that's the key.
Don't trust anything in skirts that
moves—no matter how seductiv­ely—
or you are made male. Be
especially wary of objects with
long, hair, even collies and boys
with ducktails. We men all realize
how priceless our freedom is, and
after all, what, can a woman offer
us in exchange for it except love,
affection, companionship, a nice
home and a lovely family? You
call that a bargain?
For the male student in the co­ed
college, the problem of side­stepping
a mate is quite serious.
However, we have gotten together
some valuable hints which will
save mismanaged males consider­able
time in the quest for bach­elorhood.
First, and very important: Don't
date!' In fact, don't even speak to
girls or collies or boys with duck-tails.
Please don't help old ladies
across the. street (many lasting
friendships originated this way).
If you feel obligated to speak to
your mother, restrict it to a curt
nod. f
Secondly, don't schedule any
classes where there is the slightest
possibility of girls or collies or
boys with ducktails being enroll­ed'.
Remember, avoid temptation
and it will avoid you. Also take up
manly hobbies and pastimes. Shoot
pool, drink Old Stag and stay
away from girls.
It is a good idea to cease your
correspondence with members of
the opposite sex. Sure, it is all
right to send your mother a post­card
once a quarter, providing you
don't include the return address.
And friends (God bless you)
one last- word of advice: Stay
away from movies with Marilyn
Monroe.
Extracurricularizing
By Dolly Fulkerson
With a new year and a new
quarter just beginning, we'd like to
encourage all - students, new and
old, to take a new lease on campus
life, and join in (moderately) the
extracurricularizing that abounds
at API. There are a variety of ac­tivities
available; all you have to
do is choose yours, apply to the
right person, and you're on the
band wagon.
Of course, you won't get to be
Committee Chairman of 1956 right
off the bat, but whatever your
spare-time job is, you will receive
other benefits -that will maks UD
for the lack of recognition that •
new personnel are sometimes ac­corded.
At any rate, you'll have
the satisfaction of knowing that
you contribute something to the
campus besides the scholastic sta­tistics
of your college career.
The following is a list of a few
activities, and the person to see if

Let's Get A 'War Eagle'
By Bill Klemm
School spirit is a by-word with
Auburn students. Because of this
fact, I feel that Auburn students
wish to perpetuate and further en­hance
the Auburn spirit.
With this thought in mind, I
propose that we get a mascot for
our school, but not, mind you, an
ordinary mascot such as is found
at an ordinary university. No sir,
I'm talking about a"" real live
American Bald Eagle!
Eagles are symbolic of strength,
skill,1 courage, and dedication to
purpose. All of these attributes
are ones to which Auburnites as­pire.
But less idealistically, these
attributes are also ones which we
credit to varsity athletics. All of
which goes to suggest that an
eagle would be fitting and logical
choice for a mascot.
Now comes the imposing ques­tion,
"How do we house and take
care of a fierce and untamed
eagle?"
In answer to the housing situa­tion,
perriaps the School of Engi­neering
could design and construct
the bird's permanent residence.
The War Eagle could be quartered
in the center of Ross Square, for
example, and stand as a lofty and
inspiring shrine to the Auburn
Spirit. Students would be remind­ed
daily by this living emblem of
the unity and loyalty which binds
them to Auburn.
• Then, if we wanted to display
War Eagle at football games and
at other public functions, the en­gineers
might be able to design an
adequate portable cage.
The War Eagle could be fed
and cared for by the School of
Veterinary Medicine. Incidentally,
eagles commonly live in captivity
for 15 to 30 years. And to help
tame the bird down, the vets could
keep him de-beaked, clawless,
and full of hormones.
How would we get an eagle in
the first place? It is likely that the
SGA could procure one from a
zoo or aviary. Someone might
even give us one, perhaps a loyal
alumnus.
An eagle, with its air of austere
pre-eminence and lofty idealism,
could be an inspiring force to re­tain
and further promote the Au­burn
Spirit. The acquisition of an
eagle would make our "War Eagle"
battle-cry more appropriate and
meaningful both to ourselves and
to the many Auburn visitors. So,
if you want War Eagle, let's start
talking him up.
Commercial Christmas
By Sam Houston
When I was a tad, and maybe
because I was a tad, Christmas
was really something. Possibly be­cause
I was looking at it through
childish eyes, everyone seemed to
have the good old spirit of the
thing. Today, Christmas has an­other
meaning, it seems. It means
commercialism, production, t he
jolly jingle of the cash register.
Christmas is a time when the
kindly merchants gather up your
bankroll in baskets through the
temporarily painless medium of
the charge account. By the time
you've eaten all the turkey and
drunk up all your Christmas cheer,
little windowed envelopes start
arriving at your mailbox. Only
then have you any inkling of what
it means. You, sir, have been had.
You have been caught up in the
relatively new American tradi­tion
of spending your cash in ord­er
to buy gifts for your friends
and relatiyes. Of course, you get
gifts too. Your friends figure how
much you will spend on them and
hope their present equals the
price of yours.
If you get a tie and the receiver
gets a watch, boy, are you burned.
And no wonder. He probably
knew what you were getting him
and wasn't he ungrateful? Sure he
was.
So it seems the celebration of
the birth of Christianity and Jesus
Christ has degenerated to sales
volume and gift-swapping. It isn't
that yours truly is against giving
tokens of thought or love that
rankles; it is the spiritless, crass
commerciality of the thing.
You always feel glad to receive
something and to give something
(in that order) but the lavishness
gone to is rather out of order.
All of us would feel a great deal
happier if we would take the
trouble to find someone in actual
need and give them a helping hand
at the time of year when the poor
feel poorest. Twenty dollars worth
of groceries to a hard-up family
would *nake us feel a lot warmer
inside than that flashy pair of pa­jamas
we gave to our. girl friend
did for her.
The hackyned expression, "Let's
put Christ back into Christmas"
was never listened to with much
thought. It might be a good idea to
kick it around come December.
Friendliest Village
By Millard Fuller
Good morning! Hello! How are
you! Hey! Familiar expressions?
—They're all a part of a great
Auburn tradition. For years (I
don't rightly know exactr? how
many) Auburn has been widely
acclaimed as the Friendliest Vil­lage
in the United States—or in
the whole world, I suppose.
Recently, I had occasion to write
to a person in Chicago, and in the
first sentence of this person's re­ply
to my letter was the question,
"Auburn eh, the friendliest vil­lage
in the U. S., isn't it? "Yes,
Auburn is supposed to be a friend­ly
place. People here are supposed
to be just a little more cordial
in their hello's. Handshaking is
supposed to be firmer. Kisses, I
suppose then should be harder—
more meaningful. (Maybe this
last item should be dealt with in
another article entitled "Auburn—
the Lovingest Village of the
Plains." This lovingest business
might not ba too far from wrong
either.) Well, back to this article
—certainly I think we here at Au­burn
live up to our tradition of
being friendly—at least most of
us do, most of the time.
But few of us all of the time,
and most of us some of the time
seem to forget that we're part of
this very fine tradition of being
friendly. We pass students on the
sidewalk and fail to speak, we
don't speak when spoken to, we're
just sort of a "cubed turtle," (a<
square in three dimentions, en­closed
in a shell) with a jolly,
friendly society al4 around us.
Now, a right sensible question
might be posed by these afore
mentioned people, and maybe al­so
by the infrequently unfriendly
students and faculty. Why is this
business of being friendly—speak­ing
to your fellow man—so im-
' portant anyway? The answer is
obvious by .simple common sense
reasoning, but in case the com­mon
sense lobe of your brain has
been rendered unserviceable due
to classroom infiltrations, I'll list a
few items which should comprise
the answer. - Firstly, moods are
transferable. A friendly hello in
the morning seems to chase away
the nightmares and worries of the
day. On the other hand, a grouchy,
glum, despondent, or otherwise
unfriendly atmosphere existing in
and around a person's face can
cause his fellow man (woman) to
acquire the same atmospheric con­dition
in the upper portions.
Further expoundings could be
set down concerning the smiling,
speaking API students—and pro­fessors,
(where oh where are
these rare creatures?) but time and
space are limiting factors so the
Groucho's of the Plains will be
considered in the remainder of our
*pace. And the remaining space
will be dedicated to advice to
these said Groucho's. (Generally,
several degrees are necessary in
order to give advice, but be as it
may, I'll attempt so to do without
a single one.)
Hertj it is: To professors—raise
up (from the dead), and speak up
(to the students whom you suspect
of attempted apple-polishing),
and wake up to the fact that
we're friendly here, from one end
to the other—no holds barred, and
no Prof's left out. To students-look
up, laugh up, smile up, speak
up, and help our Loveliest Village
to live up to a great tradition —
truly the Friendliest Village in the
world!

Hellufa. Floors Sub-par Waybelow
But Only When Blastovitch Is Out
Overlooked by most sports writers this year because of
its supposed unimportance was the ninth annual Finger
Bowl neid at Splashing Waters, Fla.; yet this minature classic
pitting two ot the nation's top smali-college powers, Hellufa
State and Waybelow Normal was probably the most exciting
affair produced in any posi-season clasn. Hehuia State was the vic­tor
in a tight 41-30 contest although Waybelow Normal led 30-13
with just live minutes of playing time remaining.
In order to understand how 28 points could be scored in five
minutes, one must understand the situation in which W. N. found
. itself during those closing moments. W. N.'s
"Thundering Pachyderms" were literally a one
man team and their one man was ejected from the
game in the fourth period for unsportsmanlike
conduct (on a bonecrushing tackle he had broken
the leg of State's star quarterback, then roared
with laughter, and slugged a referee who suggest­ed
that laughing was not the appropriate reaction
to the situation).
Tms one mail team was fullback Charley
Blastovitch. n e provided VV. N.'s enure otiensive
puiicu on a smgie play which was run as follows:
direct snap xo miiuack. bmash!!! Kight over tne
center oi me line through tne enemy secondary,
pasi me saiety man, and across the gcial line. Xnai

Actually this is a very simple football
manuever. All it takes is a 317 pound fullback such as Chargin'
Onaney who can ao tne 100 yard dash in 8.7 seconds. Charley

Ciiuney was a line defensive piayer, but he couldn't stop line thrusts
anu cover pass receivers at tne same time. /
Consequently W. N. had to outscore its opponents in order
to win. in.s lea to some pnenominal exhibition of point produc­tion
even tnou&h almost every Wayueiow foe tried to stop C.C.B.

VayDuiow iNormal missed every extra point attempt during tne
season.
The other four victories were over small teams such as
Southern Distillers College, Altruistic A & M (a religious semin­ary
tor atheists), the U. of A., and Sam Houston Institute^of
Science.
Trophy To Be Awarded;^*
naiiume lesuvities at the Alabama game next Saturday night
will be spiced up to a certain degree when the Plainsman awards its
trophy to the -Outstanding Auburn Football Piayer of 1955." This
player was chosen in balloting held among the student body early in
December.
The first of these annual presentations was made by former'
• Sports Editor Bill Hutto and was originated by Hutto and Plains­man
Editor Herb White.
Sports Staff Shuffled . . .
Beginning with next weeks issue, the Plainsman will have a new
Sports Editor. He is Herb Heed, a sophomore in electrical engineer­ing,
who has served faithfully on the sports staff during the past three
quarters.
k By a not so strange coincidence this is the second post which 1 have
vacated and icftijn iierb's hands. We both went to East High School
in Memphis, Term.,- where I was sports editor of the school paper.
Upon nj^graduajion Herb very capably took over the position. That
Mfas.pveMftree.years ago, but here we are back in the same situation,
lies—no, we're not in the same fraternity.
tdr fowlers Lose .. .
Auburn was not the only bowl favorite which received a rockin'
reception by an underdog adversary. Texas Tech, the Tiger tamer of
the 1954 Gator Bowl (35-13), was picked to set a. scoring mark
against Wyoming, but the Cowboys put across two TD's in the final
five minutes to topple Tech, 21-14.
Several Southwest Conference schools had been pumping .to have
a league membership awarded to the Raiders, and it was expected
that the Lubbock eleven would run up a wide margin to impress the
doubting SWC bretheren. It just didn't happen.
Six Tigers In Senior Bowl . . .
No less than six ex-Auburn stars appeared in last Saturday's
Senior Bowl, staged in Mobile. Most Tiger fans knew that Fob
James, Joe Childress, Frank D'Agostino, Bob Scarbrough, and
M. L. Brackett were playing in the classic, but its doubtful that
very many were cognizant of Jimmy Hitchcock's participation.
Hitchcock, an Ail-American on the 1932 Plainsman powerhouse,
was one of the officials in the Ladd Stadium fray, giving Auburn
four of the fifteen Ail-Americans appearing on the field. Childress,
Scarbrough, James and D'Agostino played for the South's offensive
unit, while Brackett toiled on the defense.

Resurging Tigers Hope To Subdue Tide Saturday Night
Seek To Reverse Three Year Trend
With Long Sought Victory Over Tide
Auburn's hot and cold basketball aggregation runs head
on into .a similar group from the University of Alabama this
Saturday night at Montg&mery's giant coliseum as both
teams dive deep into their 1956 schedules.
Aithougn tne n d e boasts vie-cones
ovtr such national powers
as iviarqueue and iioiy Cross,
their record prior to last Satur­day's
action was six victories anu
three ueteats. Over the same per­iod,
the Tigers produced a 3-4
v^on-iost mark.
Tne Associated Press poll of
last Wednesday rated tne Tus-coiosans
as 17th in the nation,
even tnough tne Tide has bean
as.iar up as eighth earner in the
season.
Auourn has not beaten an Ala­bama
cage crew since 1953. That
year the Tigers triumphed, 78-73.
Since dhen the capstoners have
rolled to five intra-state victories.
Only two of these were really
close. The final game of 1954
was a 57-55 overtime affair, while
Auburn led by two points in the
closing two minutes of their most
recent meeting, only to lose, 84-
80."
The Crimson Crew is^led by
high-scoring, 6'4" forward George
Linn, currently the SEC's num­ber
three point-maker, with an
average of 23.44 per game. Jerry
Harper, 6'8", holds down the pi­vot
spot and is the second highest
scorer, while forward Dennis
O'Shea, 6'3", and guard Leon
Marlaire, 6'1", and Dick Gunder,
6'0", round out Coach Johnny
Dee's quintet.
Coach Joel Eaves will probably
match this array with center Bill
McGriff, 6'7"; forwards, Jim
O'Donnell, 6'3", and Kay Slayden,
6'4"; and guards, Brownie Nelson,
5'11', and Henry Sturkie, 6'0"..
McGriff is the top scorer with
a 14.4 average; O'Donnell has
13.1; Slayden, 12.6; Sturkie, 10.0;
and-Nelson, 9.7.
Game time will be 8:00 p.m.

it at 7:00.

Vanderbilt Stuns Plainsmen, 25-13
For First Bowl Victory In History
By George Wendell
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Vanderbilt Commodores, making their first bowl
appearance in the history of the school, left an indelible mark
on the hearts of every Auburn fan as they soundly upset the
Tigers in the Gator Bowl by a score of 25-13. The Tigers
were plagued by one of the most feared diseases of the
gridiron—fumble-itis. They fum
bled six times with two of the
recoveries leading to Vanderbilt
touchdowns.
The Commodores, led by the
brilliant passing arid running of
quarterback Don Orr, never trail­ed
in the ball game as they scor­ed
in the first quarter on a seven
yard pass from Orr to end Joe
Stephenson. Auburn came vright
back in the second quarter to
score on a 38-yard pass play from yard marker.

As Season Begins
For Hall Of Fame
Auburn's wrestling^ team,
headed by Coach "Swede"
Umbach, is looking forward to
their tenth consecutive South­ern
Intercollegiate Wrestling
Association championship. Al­though
they have lost a match
to V.M.I, by the score of 6-11,
they have hopes of sweeping
the remaining five matches
and copping the title.
So far this year they have
downed Marshall College 19-12
and Davidson College 20-8. When
they lost to V.M.I, in their last
meet, they broke a string of 33
straight wins that started back in
January of 1952.
Auburn's two returning letter-men
are Dick Downey, who tips
the scales at 167 and Captain
Jerry Embry, a 157-pound junior.
Other members of the team and
Walter Gilbert, former Auburn
great, has been named to Foot­ball's
National Hall of Fame at
Rutgers University, New Bruns­wick,
N. J.
Gilbert, who starred as center,,
and captain of the 1936 Auburn
team, was one of 14 players and
coaches added to the honor roll
last Saturday. Two former Tiger
coaches, Mike Donahue and John
W. Heisman, along with halfback
Jimmy Hitchcock, have been se­lected
in previous years.
An Ail-American, Gilbert led
the 1936 squad to a 7-2-1 record
and a trip to the Cuban National
Sports Festival. There the Tigers
tied Villanova 7-7 in Havana's •
Rhumba Bowl.
their weights are: Walter Keller
at 123; Wallace Ledbetter, 130;
Frank Keller, 137; Vic Maldo-nado,
147; Ted Hazen, 177; and
heavyweight Bill Hankin.

Plainsmen Gridders Dominate Classic;
South Rolls Over North In Senior Bowl
Childress, Scarbrough, D'Agostino,
James, Brackets Play For South
By Herb Reed
Plainsman Sports Writer
Joe Childress. Auburn's jarring fullback, shed the Orange*
and Blue of the Tigers and donned the.white and red of the
South to lead the Rebel eleven to a 12-2 victory over the
North in the Senior Bowl game played in Mobile, last Satur­day.
Points and yards were not the
only prizes collected during the
course of the dav by Childress,
who scored both of the South's
TDs. He was voted the "Most
Valuable Back" for the South: a
group of hometown admirers
from Robertsdale presented
"Jolting Joe" with a new Ford at
halftime.
The radio play-bv-nlay sound­ed
somewhat like a Tiger regular
geason game: all five senior start­ers
for the Orange and Blue, in­cluding
Childress, played imnor-tant
roles in the South win. Chil­dress.
Fob James, and Bob Scar-brough
carried a good Dart of the
offensive load, while M. L. Brac-kett
and D'Agostino did their
share on defense.
With Kentucky's Bob Hardy at
the helm, the South set their sails
:for paydirt. when they first gain­ed
possession on their own 44.
The ball was pushed to the Yan­kee
two as James. Childress. Don
Mcllhennv of SMU, and Eddie
Vereb of Maryland ground out
yardage. A penalty set the ball
back to the seven, where Chil­dress
took over: he crossed the
double stripe on his second try,
from the two.
Auburn, aside from claiming
credit for all the South's tallies,
also was accredited . for the
North's two points. In the third
^quarter center Bob Scarbrough's
snap sailed into the end zone for
(a Yank safety.
The game's final score occurred
in the final period, after Tony
Sardisco of Tulane fell on a fum­ble
by the North's Gary Lowe of
Michifan State on the Yank 37.
Mcllhenny skirted end for 20
and Childress gathered in nine
more by the same route. < Three
plays later. Childress cracked
over from the two.
The bovs from the "other side
of the Mason-Dixon" countered
the Southern ground game with
an aerial attack, engineered by
Wisconsin's Jim Haluska. They
completed 13 of 32 passes for $31
yards. ',-.
The 12 point spread doesn't vin­dicate
the closeness of the con­test;
the North picked up 11 first
downs and 199 total yards rush­ing
to 10 first downs' and 177 to­tal
yards for the South.

Tigers Down State
In 81-68 Contest
On Starkville Floor
Kay Slayden led Auburn to its
second straight conference win,
°l-68, over Mississippi State in
Starkville last Saturday night.
Slayden hit an amazing nine field
-^oals in 11 tries., and shot a flaw­less
three for three on the free
throw line. Top scorer in the
game with 21 points, the 6'3" se­nior
from Columbus and team­mate
Bill McGriff controlled the
backboard for Auburn, rarely
giving the Maroons a second shot
at the basket.
The Plainsmen ran lip a 21-12
'ead in the first 10 minutes, but
State roared back to trail by only|
four points late in the first riafe
Auburn increased their lead to
a 20 point margin in the second
half until State staged . a final
drive in the fading minutes of
the game.
The Tigers' Brownie Nelson he\&<
the Maroons' top scorer, Jim Ash-more,
to a modest 14 points for
the contest. Ashmore was the
second highest scorer in the SEC
!ast year, and had been averag­ing
22 points per game.
Auburn finished the game with;
29 field goals in 76 attempts for
38.2 per cent. State hit on 34-2 per
cent of their shots. Auburn out-scored
the Maroons only four
points from the floor, but built
up the lead on the free throw line.:
TIGER SOPHOMORl END standout Jimmy "Red" Phillips reaches high to grab Jimmy Cook's
throw in the end zone as the Plainsmen registered their second touchdown against Vanderbilt in the
Gator Bowl loss. Identifiable Auburn men in the 25-13 affair are: M. L. Brackett (70), Chuck Maxime
(66), Jerry Elliott (89),.'Alton Shell (44), and Fob James (23). •• • •

Many engineering graduates would like to be con­cerned
with air power of the next generation. One
way to fulfill that ambition is to pursue a career
alongside engineers who have consistently produced
the world's best aircraft engines.
most major U. S. airlines, recognizing the future of jet,
flight in commercial transportation, have placed their orders
for jet-powered transports. Of added significance, however,
is that American-made equipment will be flown also by
foreign airlines in the age of jet travel.
Flying Douglas DC-8 Clippers or Boeing 707 Strato-liners,
these domestic and foreign airlines, circling the globe,
will shrink it 40 per cent. For power, the entire fleet will
rely on Pratt & Whitney Aircraft jet engines. Such achieve­ment
is evidence of unchallenged leadership.
