Confers,
Game
Sandra, who has blue eyes and
blonde hair, is 5 feet 7.5 inches
tall. She has been affiliated with
the Alpha Delta Pi sorority and
was featured as "Loveliest of the
Plains" during her freshman year.
The new "Maid" will receive a
complete wardrobe in the latest
cotton fashions including a beau­tiful
$1,000 evening dress. The
stunning gown, designed by one
of New York's foremost fashion
experts, is a replica of one in Miss
America's wardrobe.
Sandra has very definite plans
for the future. She will take voice
and modeling lessons before be­ginning
a public appearance tour
of the state. And later on, she
would like to make a career of
modeling or become a buyer for a
big department stpre.
Later on this year, Sandra will
represent Alabama in the nat­ional

be held in Memphis.

at 7:00 o'clock in the Bradley
Lounge of the Auburn Student

Major D. H. Campbell, Mrs. Jake
Hitchcock, and Mrs. Helen S.
Womelsdorf. The judging was by

beauty, personality, intelligence,
appearance, and over-all impres­sion.
The eight finalists will be se­lected
Oct. 26 at the ODK Glom­erata
Beauty Ball.
The committee meets annually
to reach agreements and settle
problems between the two'student
bodies. • r -
The outcome of this meeting
was announced by Ken Mattingly,
public relations chairman for the
committee. The general recomen-dations
of the committee are:
Auburn students are urged to
leave their rat caps at home. The
Ramblin Wrecks, the Georgia Tech
equivalent of . Auburn's ODK or
Blue Key, will be wearing a cap
similar to a' rat cap. This cap'is
white with a yellow patch in the
front. Mattingly has pointed out
that these students will be pa­trolling
the stadium area with
members of ODK and Blue Key.
He also pointed out that these are
exceptional students and student
leaders. Auburn students are
urged to remember that the hats
worn by these students are not
rat caps but a symbol of distinc­tive
student leadership.
Auburn student leaders, as well
as Georgia Tech student leaders,
have been urged to appeal to the
student body to refrain from us­ing
derogatory and defammatory
remarks.
One thousand copies of "The
Technique," Georgia Tech studen
newspaper, will be exchanged for
1000 copies of "The Plainsman."
Parking provisions will be made
for Auburn fans at the game.
Agreements were also drawn up
for the methods to be used in dis­cipline
cases.
Ken Mattingly, speaking of the
meeting, said; "The purpose of
these meetings is to allow the
students of each school to exer­cise
their initiative in solving the
problems associated with a high
standard of rivalry and school
spirit. The success of this program
has been demonstrated b y the
past performances of API students
in all of our out-of-town games.
We are confident that with the
fine school spirit already shown
by our freshmen, this , Auburn
tradition will be upheld." •
Dr. Ralph B. Draughon, Pre­sident
of API, spoke at a banquet
following the Committee meeting.
Dr. Draughon reviewed the his­tory
of'the Better Relations Com­mittee

and Charles King, Marianna, Fla., the clown.
By Lynne Jones
Casting for the Auburn Players'
two fall-quarter productions has
been completed. The cast for "My
Sister Eileen" by Joseph Fields
and Jerome Chodorov, was chosen
last week. Casting for the other
selection, Shakespeare's well-known
comedy of mistaken ident­ity,
"Twelfth Night", was pre­viously
made.
"Twelfth 'Night" will be di­rected
by the head of the drama
department, Prof. Telfair B. Peet.
The play has been chosen for the
Players' road show production
and will be taken to various
points throughout the state. The
touring will begin in the middle
of October and will continue
through Thanksgiving.
Twelve cast members, plus
scenery, will travel in three cars.
The cast is as follows: Bill 'MasoVi
as the Duke, Jim Hammond as
Sebastian, Pete Madson as An­tonio,
Harry Perkins as the Cap­tain,
Kelly Collum as Valentine,
Donald Sullivan as Fabian, Geo­rge
McWilliams as Sir Toby Belch,
Neely Inlow as Malvolio, Charles
King as Feste(a clown), Mary
Ann Gainey as Olivia, Laura
Lynn Benson as Viola, and Faye
Hakanson as Maria.
Prof. Robert Knowles, who will
direct "My Sister Eileen", out­lined
it as a fast-paced comedy
about two girls from Columbus,
Ohio, who have come to New mantes,
York to look for jobs. The adven­tures
of the two sisters in their
basement apartment in Greenwich
Village are based on a true-life
story. It has played on Broadway
twice—once as a straight play
and once as a musical. Both forms
later became movies, the most
recent one a musical starring
Janet Leigh as Eileeen.
In the Anburn Players' ' pro­duction,
Sue Hussey has captured
the title role. The other sister
Ruth, will be played by Barbara
Huggins. The rather large cast
also includes: Faye Hollings-worth
as Violet, Harry Eggart as
Mr. Appopolous, Judith Gillespie
as Mrs. Wade, Pat Shepherd as
the tenant, Richard Locmiller as
the "rambling Wreck from Geor­gia
Tech", Dave Powell as Frank
Lippincott, Tommy Bivin as Chic
Clark, Bob Mclntyre as Robert
Baker, David Hall as Fletcher,
Frances Smith as Helen Wade and
six members of the Latin- Amer­ican
Club as the Brazilian ad­mirals
who like to conga.
There will be ten performances
of "My Sister Eileen," each to
start at 8:15 p.m. and to be shown
at the Y-Hut free to students.
Non-student adults must pay 50
cents and children 25 cents. Open­ing
night is Nov. 2, and Nov. 3,

Construction Schedule Moved Up On
$4,000 Centennial Garden Project
Construction of the Centennial Garden in Ross Square
is now well under way.
The garden, costing approximately four thousand dol­lars,
is the result of a committee appointed by President
Draughon to develop plans for the Centennial celebration of
East Alabama Male College, now API, which was founded
February 1, 1856. The committee discussed plans for a perma­nent
memorial and decided upon a formal garden with a
bronze plaque placed in the garden commemorating the Cen­tennial.
The idea of a formal garden ""
was not original with the present
committee. The class of 1942 con­ceived
it as a class project. The
plan had to be abandoned, how­ever,
as the members of the class
were scattered by World War II.
The class of 1942 will not be for­gotten,
as a small marker dedicat­ed
to them will be placed in the
garden.
The date of completion "has been
moved up to late November or the
first of December. Dedication of
the garden will take place Nov­ember
9, during Homecoming
week.
The Centennial Garden will be
a traditional formal garden when
it is finished. In the center will
be a large pool, 26 feet long and
17 feet wide, surrounded by a
brick terrace and stone benches.
The walk-ways? already built, will
be decorated with hedges, trees,
shrubbery, and flower beds. Mag­nolia
trees will frame two sides
of the square and elm trees will
be planted around the center. To
keep the garden in bloom the year
round, both annuals and per­ennials
will be used in the flower
beds.

Off-Campus Housing IITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
The Auburn Househ61ders Association
is an organization of Auburn boarding
house operators. The organization was
formed to enable the operators to provide
better services for API students. A regu­lar
meeting is held once each quarter when
problems common to all the operators are
discussed.
Mr. H. F. Vallery, API Coordinator of
Men's' Housing, works closely with the
association. He participates in meetings
and in other ways helps foster co-opera­tion
between the college and boarding
house operators.
Generally, the Association follows
college policy on off-campus housing, par­ticularly
with regard to leases. Members
of the Association who require students
to sign leases for rooms, do not ask that
a lease for a period of longer than one
quarter be signed. If meals are included
in the agreement, students are not asked
to contract for maals for a period longer
than, one month.
In addition, members of the Associa­tion
recognize their obligations to the stu­dents.
In their leases they agree to provide
adequate service for their student roomers
and boarders.
The Association is working with the
college for a better Auburn and we would
like to commend its members for their
efforts .
Unfortunately, not all those who ope­rate
boarding houses for students are mem­bers
of the Auburn Householders Associa­tion.
Some apparently took advantage of
the critical housing shortage resulting
from the record-breaking enrollment this
quarter, and chose to ignore college policy
concerning off-campus housing.
We have talked with students who
were required to sign a lease for three
quarters. We have talked with a student
who was required to sign a lease for both
room and board for three quarters. One
student who signed a nine-month lease for.
a room was moved into another, less con­venient
room.
College officials, when notified of such
leases, advised students not to sign them.
But some students because of the shortage
of rooms had no choice.
Landlords should, of course, receive
compensation when a student vacates a
room during a quarter, or when a student
decides during a month to eat elsewhere.
However, we feel that all such cases aris­ing
could be satisfactorily settled under
the terms of the Auburn Householders
Association agreements.
Students who have been required to
sign the nine-month leases are prevented
from moving into fraternity houses or
into college-operated dormitories. In some
cases, they are prevented from finding
another boarding place.
We ask that all students who may be
presented with such leases report the mat­ter
to college authorities and try to find
another boarding house which can -offer-more
satisfactory terms. Students who
have already signed leases may contact
Mr. Vallery for advice, should they de­sire
to make a change.
In conclusion, we urge that those land­lords
who required three-quarter leases
recognize their obligations to the students
of API. We ask that they consider the po­sition
of the student and that they give
more thought to the Auburn Householders
Association's form of lease.
Absentee Ballot Registration
The national political campaigns have
taken on feverish last minute flurries of
activity. Both President Eisenhower and
Adlai Stevenson have stepped up the
tempo of theiA campaigning to begin the
proverbial race-to-the-wire. And well they
might, with less than a'month left before
the November^ general election.
The candidates are utilizing radio,
television, and some good old fashioned
countryside stump speaking tours to reach
more voters than ever before. Even so,
many people of voting age will not cast
their ballot in the general election. They
fail to realize? that it is the moral obli­gation
of we Americans as a free people
to exercise that right of political voice
handed to us.
If you are of age twenty-one or above,
and have not qualified yourself to vote
by registration with voting officials in
your home county, make it a point to do
so before the registration deadline.
You may register to vote and secure
an absentee ballot from your county of­ficials
until the registration books close
on November first. The absentee ballot
will allow you the convenience of mailing
your vote in to the polls instead of .making
the trip home to vote.
Register, and by all means take advan­tage
of the adsentee ballot if you can't get
to the polls personally. Stand ready to
exercise your right to vote on November
6.

few have been awarded to Auburn stu­dents.
The list includes the Fulbright Act,
covering all transportation, academic and
maintenance costs of a full year of. grad­uate
study in any of twenty one countries;
the Buenos Aires Convention Fellowship,
covering all necessary costs and in some
cases incidental expenses for graduate
study in sixteen Central and South Ameri­can
countries; the Marshall Scholarships,
providing an allowance to cover costs of
graduate study at a British University
with an extra subsistance allowance for
married men; and the Rhodes Scholarships,
offering two years of study for male jun­iors
or seniors at Oxford University in Eng­land.
These educational exchange grants of­fer
a chance to study in the very best of
foreign universities and colleges, with the
added flavor of visiting abroad. And amaz­ing
as, it may seem, this combination of
paid schooling and overseas travel has
been turned down cold by Auburn upper­classmen
and graduates in the past.
Perhaps the student feels that he has
spent enough years in school by the time
graduation rolls around. Maybe he fails
to recognize the fabulous offer of foreign
study. Certainly he is not afraid that his
application for a foreign study grant will
be lost among national competition for
the same award—since two Fulbright
scholarships are reserved each year for
graduates of API who have been nominat­ed
by their school and approved by the
Alabama Committee on Fulbright Schol­arships.
The Plainsman last year expressed
editorially the belief that more Auburn
students would win foreign study scholar­ships
if they would only apply for them.
We wish to reiterate that belief.
The scholarships are there, just beg­ging
for takers.

a natural capacity or gift. To
complete this definition, we must
say that a talent is a divine trust
that is not given to us for our own
benefit solely, but for the benefit
of others as well. We should guard
it carefully and use it well, for it
is given to us to enrich our lives
and the lives of those around us.
The Bible tells us of a man who
took a long journey and upon his
departure gave three of his ser­vants
some money. He expected
these servants not just to keep the
money until he came home, but to
use it to make a profit. As this
man expected a return from the
money he gave his servants, so
does God expect a return from the
talents we receive from Him. We
may think of ourselves as a bank
in which God has deposited a tal­ent.
We have a duty to put that
talent to work and to return the
principal with interest.
God has a plan for us and for
our talent, no matter how large
or small it may be. The worth of
BITSEY WHITE
our talent is determined by the
way we use it. It is very weak at
the beginning and then, like us, it
grows until it reaches the very
height of its development. If we
use it often and to the best of our
ability, God will surely bless us
and we will have the satisfaction
of knowing that we have done our
part toward fulfilling His plan for
our lives.
We who are at Auburn for the
first time this quarter felt more
than a little bewildered when we
first arrived. On a campus as large
as ours, it is easy to get lost in
the crowd and feel very insignifi­cant.
The only solution to this
problem is to put our talents to
work and- make a place for our­selves.
Every organization, to be
well run, has to have the skill and
untiring efforts of everyone con­cerned.
So it is with Auburn.
Everyone must contribute some­thing,
so why not make it some­thing
worth while?

. . . or is the school spirit here at
Auburn something that is deeply
individual, personal, and sincere?
Auburn women don't drink.
At least that is what the W.S.
G.A. regulations say. But as most
of us know, some Auburn wom­en
drink. This being the case why
do we persist in keeping a rule
which is no longer observed, if it
ever was? How can any student
or any member of the administra-
' tion take pride in a sanctimonious
regulation which only brands us
as hypocrites?
Whether or not you approve of
drinking is neither here nor there
in this case. The point is that col­lege
women do drink, and that
much'we have to accept. In fact
Yale University conducted a five
year survey which revealed that
30 to 79 per cent of coeds imbib­ed
alcholic beverages.
It is my distinct impression that
the administration feels it must
prevent girls from drinking while
they are in college. As I under­stand
it, the reason is because the
girls' parents should be able to
feel secure about their daughters'
welfare.
But one point to remember is
that this is a university of eight
and a half thousand students, not
a finishing school. Furthermore
why should the university be re­sponsible
for its students? That
belongs to the parents and their
children. In fact, it is this attempt
by institutions in general to
shoulder responsibilities which
rightfully are that of parents
which many authorities claim as
the basic cause of delinquincy. So
even on the college level, we still
encourage parents to shirk their
duty by assuming it for them.
Now if we must have some
statement on drinking for the
benefit of parents, why not revise
the rules to allow off-campus
drinking but to punish those who
partake excessively? After all
which is truly important, the act
or the excess?
Many women at some time in
their lives will experiment with
drink anyway. If they wait until
after college to begin, they will
have no understanding of how to
handle their drinking. This can
lead to obvious difficulties out in
the cold, cruel world. Here the
girls at least, have some measure
of protection. And the risk of
losing face with other girls and
dates from over-indulgence will
tone down their drinking till they
learn to regulate it.
The stock argument to this is
that they do not need to .drink.
That is true, but it is not pertin­ent.
Whether they need to or not,
many of the girls do. So it would
at least be better that they know
how.
In case you feel that to abolish
drinking rules would create a
problem otherwise not present,
the previously mentioned Yale
survey showed that sixty five per­cent
of coeds who drink had al­ready
started before coming to
college.
Furthermore the existance of
drinking rules encourages girls to
drink just because they shouldn't
(reverse psychology). It is just
like the old cow who wouldn't eat
a stack of kudzu until she was
chased away from it.
Personally I would rather see
girls indulge in social drinking
openly than to become hypocrites.
The girls now sneak around to
drink, employing everything from
coffee cups to listerine to hide it.
Coeds who see girls drinking
oftentimes turn their backs and
do not report it. So our rules only
succeed in making sneaks and
liars out of our young ladies.
A can of beer is mild compared
to that.
This being the case, why
should girls not be allowed to
choose freely on the drinking
question? Women have as much
right to do so as the men— prob­ably
more, since women wouldn't
abuse the privilege as often.
And who is responsible for the
drinking restrictions? You coeds.
For you have the power to revise
the drinking regulations long as
the administration continues to
vest in you the power of student
government. So why not stand
up for your rights, for your priv­ilege
to decide for yourself? This
principle has long been denied
you; it's about time you did some­thing
about it.
OUTDOOR LORE
Spinning For Dolphin
September, October, and Nov­ember
are eagerly awaited months
by fishermen all along the gulf
coast. These months bring titanic
schools of Spanish and king mack­erel,
bluefish, speckled trout, and
numerous other species of game
fish to the surface and within
range of the anglers' jugs, dusters,
spoons, live bait and cut bait.
Having done relatively little salt
water fishing, I am in no position
to tell other fishermen how to
find or catch salt water fish. How­ever,
I would like to relate an ex­perience
I had out from Alabama
Point near Gulf Shores, Ala.
Early one Saturday morning in
early September I found myself
speeding towards Gulf Shores,
with two buddies of mine. One of
the boys, Ed Young, lives in Gulf
Shores and knows how, when, and
where to fish in that vicinity.
Bobby Norman, the other boy, and
I had fished practically none, if
any, in salt water, yet the tales
Ed was telling us of thirty and
forty pound tackle-busting mack­erel
and ling were enough to en­tice
us to the gulf with our rods
clutched tightly in our sweaty lit­tle
fists.
We arrived at Gulf Shores
about 10:30 a.m. and were on our
way out into the Gulf by 12:30,
having rented a boat (made for
bay, not gulf, fishing) bought
nylon dusters, wire leader, stain­less
steel hooks, and as much gas
as we could carry. Bobby and I
bough* eight pounds test mono- .
filament spinning lines to fill the
spools of our reels. Ed looked at
our light outfits with impish con­tempt
as he threaded a thirty
pound test line through the jew­eled
eyes of his heavy salt water
rod seated with a star drag reel,
"switches" he gleefully called our
rods and said we may as well
stay on the pier and fish for yel-lowtail
or hardtails. We paid no
mind to his remarks, having great
confidence in the drags of our
reels and the 200 yards of line we
had on our spools. Why, no 40
pound fish will make a run over
60 yards—or so we thought.
After waiting for calm water
in the outlet from the bay to the
gulf, we finally managed to get
out. We tossed our yellow dusters
over the side and began trolling.
Bobby caught a skipjack as we
crossed a sand bar. The fish
jumped and cartwheeled for five'
minutes, spending more time in
the air than in the water. We re­leased
the jack and headed farth­er
out into the now serene gulf.
Forty-five minutes of trolling
brought nothing but disgruntled
mutters from the fishermen. Spot­ting
a floating plank in the water,
I pointed it out to Ed who had in­structed
Bobby and me to do so.
Floating objects in the water often
attract schools of ling or dolphin.
These fish evidently like a little
shade and protection from the hot
coastal sun. We headed for the
board and made a pass by it.
Just as Bobby's duster was
about even with the board his
rod bent in a straining arch and
the drag on his reel screeched its
contempt to the force at the hook­ed
end of the line. Confusion, sur­prise,
and glee filled the boat, now
WARDLAW LAMARR
seemingly a defenseless, hopeless
speck on the brimy deep. Lures
were hauled in, the motor cut and
words of advice and exclamation
shouted. Bobby, his eyes bulging,
his jaws set in a determined
clench, and perspiration beading
his forehead, stuck the butt of his
long-handed rod in his stomach
and set to the task of tiring out
his adversary. Bob tried the
fresh-water method of playing the
fish until it tired, and thus taking
up slack line. For ten minutes he
held that rod, and the fish never
gave an inch. On the contrary, it
made several runs of twenty and
thirty feet, giving none of the line
back. Finally, upon Ed's advice, I
the now tired angler began pump­ing
his rod and quickly taking up
slack line as fast as he could make
it. With this new technique the
fish slowly began to tire. Specta-.
cular runs and soundings made
up the fight, yet the fish never
once jumped. Line was torn from
the reel in screeching rod-strain­ing
runs. Finally the finny
gamester was brought to the boat
and landed.
A myraid of blue, silver, green
and purple hues adorned the fish
— a four pound dolphin. Yes, it
had taken a full twenty minutes to
land this four pound fish, and on
eight pound test line. You can
imagine the noise made by our ,
reels and the shouting and con­fusion
in the boat the next day,
for on that'day, around a floating
piling we caught fifteen dolphin
averaging four pounds each. To
one of the fish Bobby owes the
memory of a broken rod.
PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE
Candidate Qualifications
KEN MATTINGLY
Today is your last opportunity
to file a declaration of intention
to run, in the Oct. 25 election, for
any of the contested position.
Whether we intend to be a candi­date
for some elective position or
not, it remains important that we
give careful consideration to the
problem of matching candidate
qualifications to the requirements
of the office in question. There­fore
let us roughly evamine each
position in order that we may
make a more intelligent choice
when we go to the polls a week
from Thursday.
General Qualifications
First of all there, are some gen­eral
qualifications which are stat­ed
in the Student Body Constitu­tion
and must be adhered to. The
first of these is that all candidates
must have an overall scholastic
average of 1.0 or a 1.5 for the
quarter preceding the election.
The other is that the candidate
must intend to remain in school
throughout the term of office.
Since the reason behind the above
regulations requires no elabora­tion,
we can move on to the re­quirements
of the individual
schools.
School Organization
Each undergraduate school at
API, constituting a separate
branch of the Student Body, will,
in compliance with the Constitu­tion,
elect a President and Vice
President for the coming year. The
President must be a member of
the senior class, (except in the
school of Veternary Medicine,
where he may be a junior), and
will be responsible for the co-ord­ination
of all the organizations
and activities within his school.
The Vice President, who assists
the President, is responsible .for
finances and maybe either a junior
or senior. Both must have com­pleted
two academic years at
API prior to running for office.
An example of the type of respon­sibility
handled by the school ex­ecutives
is the job of arranging
and conducting Village Fair activ­ities.
Freshman Senator
Although there are no specific
,written qualifications for a Fresh­man
Senator the same general
rules that apply to other offices
apply in spirit to freshman. The
candidate must feel that he can
maintain a satisfactory scholastic
record and still devote the requir­ed
amount of time to his office.
Equally important is the desire to
serve both Auburn and his class.
The opportunities open to a Sena­tor
are unlimited and unregulated,
therefore the type of service rend­ered
is entirely dependent upon
the individual.
Miss Homecoming
Candidates for Miss Homecom­ing
must be of at least sophomore Y
standing and have completed one
quarter at API.
Selection
In the preceding paragraphs we
have enumerated the written
qualifications as set forth in the
Constitution but have been unable
to define the many desirable
characteristics of a leader. The
selection of representatives is an
opportunity which will benefit us
only if we use it to the fullest ex­tent.
By considering what each
candidate has to say and then go­ing
to the polls and marking our
ballot we will have had a part in
reserving the right to representa­tion.

Romp Over Furman Restores Spirits;
Tigers Face Tough Foe Tomorrow
"Nothing succeeds like success'' and Auburn's taste of it last
week should improve the spirits of Auburn fans and restore some

weeks ago. The crushing victory over Furman was indeed impressive
and definitely gave the Tiger backfield a chance to redeem itself.

Louis Preis all turned in at least one or more brilliant runs. Preis
(pronounced Price) scored on a 39-yard gallop
which happened to be his first collegiate ball-carrying
experience.
Now if Kentucky will only cooperate, the
Tigers should be on their way. Of course the
Wildcats may not be so tame. Playing in their
own Lexington lair under the lights, they
could be more than just tough.
After losing a relatively tight 14-6 tilt to
Georgia Tech, the Cats practically played dead
for Ole Miss, 37-7. Then last week they am-i
. bushed Florida 17-8 which proves nothing ex­cept
"scores prove nothing."
Wildcats Waiting To Snare Plainsmen In Lexington Lair
Williams
Appearing as a commentator on the Sun­day
TV movies of his team's 19-7 loss to
Mississippi State last week, Georgia Coach
Wally Butts was asked if he'd ever had a team ,to open a game
with a scoring pass (the Bulldogs just missed completing such
a play against the Maroons). Butts quickly answered, "In 1942
against Cincinnati we took the opening kickoff on our own 18
and threw a touchdown pass 82 yards on first down."
"Then," added Butts after thinking a moment," there was an­other
time against Kentucky when we did the same thing only to
have the touchdown nullified by a penalty when it developed that
our right end, Gene Lorendo, was offsides." Lorendo is now Auburn's
offensive end coach and his present pupils should find this interesting.
Butts also came up with, a bit of wit that certainly deserves
printing. After hearing a scouting report on North Carolina,
Georgia's next foe, "the little round man" noted that the Tar­heels'
new head coach, Jim Tatum, wasn't being provided with
the depth and quality of material that he had been accustomed
to at Maryland. "I guess he knows now," said Butts, "How it
feels to be poor."
On the subject of Mississippi State—if Tiger fans thought Au­burn
presented Tennessee with four gift touchdowns, they should
have seen the State-Florida game a few Saturdays ago. Gator full­back
Joe Brodsky intercepted three aerials by Maroon quarterback
Bill Stacy for two TD's and the makings of another, one of which
was an even 100 yards.
Consequently when Stacy finally connected with end Ronald
Bennett some Stater quiped, "Bennett just intercepted a Stacy
pass intended for Brodsky."
Walter Stewart, sports editor of the Memphis Commercial Appear,
got in another rib when he wrote, "Stacy to Brodsky turned out to
be the finest1 passing combo since Howell and Hutson." Of course
Howell and Hutson had the added advantage of playing on the same
team—Alabama.

Tiger-Cat Contest Fifth In Series;
Kentucky Leads With Two Wins
"Shug" Jordan's Auburn Tigers, back on the winning trail again
via a 41-0 verdict over Furman, will travel to Lexington this week
end to meet an ever improving Kentucky Wildcat eleven under the
lights tomorrow night. This game will mark the fifth in a series
dating back 22 years.
The first Auburn-Kentucky game was played in 1934 with Ken­tucky
coming out on top 9-0. The following year', the Tigers evened
things up as they blanked the Wildcats 23-0 on a neutral ground—
Montgomery.
The series was then discontinued for nearly two decades with
the two teams resuming their rivalry in 1955. The Tigers came
out on the short end of that contest 21-14. Then last season the
Wildcats were a two-touchdown underdog to the bowl-bound
Tigers, but managed an upsetting tie to bring the series record to
two wins for Kentucky, one for Auburn and a tie game.
Thus far this season the Wildcats have run into some tough
teams, dropping a 14-6 decision to Georgia Tech, and losing to Miss­issippi
37-7. Their only victory of the season came in their last out­ing
as they dropped Florida 17-8.
Key cogs in the Wildcat line are beefy tackle Lou Michaels, one
of the top youngsters in the nation last year and an All-Conference
Sophomore Team selection, and Co-Captain Dave Kuhn, who was
named on the preseason All-SEC eleven and designated by league
coaches as "best linebacker." In the backfield, Coach Blanton Collier
will depend mainly on fullback Bob Doughtery, the team's leading
ground-gainer a year ago with a creditable 4.3 average.
Gone this year are All-SEC and All-American stand-outs
such as Bob Hardy, Howard Schnellenberger, arjd Dick Moloney.
A total of seven starters must be replaced by Collier if he expects
to have even a .500 percentage in his quest for victories in one of
the toughest schedules of his career.
The Tigers on the other hand will be trying to regain some com­posure
still missing as a result of their Tennessee loss. They have a
rough road to travel as their next opponent is Georgia Tech.

Both Teams Need Morale-Building
Victory; Game Set For Saturday Night
By Paul Hemphill
Plainsman Sports Writer
Lexington, Ky., will be t h e s i te of tomorrow night's bat­t
l e between the A u b u r n Tigers and K e n t u c k y Wildcats.
For both squads, victory js a must. Already off to a shaky
s t a r t , t h e green, soph-laden Tigers must win t h i s one to gain
t h e confidence they will need to face next week's foe, Georgia
Tech. Successive losses to Ken­tucky
and Tech could be the
morale-wrecker leading to a dis­astrous
season.
Kentucky has its back to the
wall. The Wildcats have already
lost two conference games and
can't afford to drop any more if
title hopes are to remain.
Despite those two defects, the
Wildcats have at times been im­pressive.
On the TV Game of the
Week three weeks ago, they made
Tech scrap hard for its 14-7 win.
The following weekend, Mississip­pi
laid it on 37-7.
The Kentuckians notched their
first victory last week by taking
Florida, 17-8.
The big man in the Wildcat line­up
so far has been tackle Lou
Michaels. The' 6-2, 230-poiind
junior has already been tabbed as
All-America material.
Besides making the biggest per­centage
of tackles among line­men,
Michaels does all the kick­ing.
Last year, his 42.1 punting
average was second best in the
SEC.

pounds.
At the time of this writing,
neither squad has any important
injuries. Auburn end Mike Sim­mons,
who was hurt in the Ten­nessee
contest, has recovered and
will be available for duty.
Auburn is expected to start with
the same outfit which began
against Tennessee and Furman
except for Lloyd Nix's replace­ment
of Billy Kitchens at half­back.
Game time is 8 p.m. Saturday.
Student Tickets
Student tickets for out of
town games (Georgia Tech,
Georgia, Florida and Alabama)

Oct. 13.
Against Florida last week, the
versatile Kentuckian kicked a 34-
yard field goal with two seconds
to go in the first half.
Others to watch are center and
Captain Dave Kuhn, and fullback
Bob Dougherty — both seniors.
Dougherty has been out of ac­tion
with a broken collar bone,
but should be ready to go tomor­row
night.
Kuhn has been picked by the
Birmingham News for its pre­season
All-SEC team, and also
nominated as "best linebacker."
The loss of last year's fine pass­ing
combination of Bob Hardy and
Howie Schnellenberger has cut
deep into the Kentucky pffense,
leaving it as Coach Blanton Col­lier's
sore spot.

A u b u r n ' s sophomore-laden Tigers swung into high gear
last Saturday as t h e y put o n a scoring exhibition to com­pletely
outclass an underdog F u r m a n Hurricane eleven. T h e
Plainsmen, lead by soph halfback Tommy Lorino, subdued
t h e impotent Purple Hurricane by a score of 41-0 before a

Lorino carried nine times for a

Also scoring for the Tigers
were Billy Kitchens, Jimmy Cook,

The Lambda Chis are favored
for four reasons named Mead,

and cinched the meet.
Last year's No. 2 team, SAE,
will be a serious contender for top
awards in the coming meet. Re­turning
from last year is Nixon,

MARKING ON THE CURVE...|
AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
Twonkey Crimscott was a professor. Choate Sigafoos
was a sophomore. Twonkey Crimscott was keen, cold,
brilliant. Choate Sigafoos was loose, vague, adenoidal.
Twonkey Crimscott believed in diligence, discipline, and
marking on the curv«. Choate Sigafoos believed in elves,
Jayne Mansfield; aria -thirteen- hours sleep each night.
Yet there carne a time when Twonkey Crimscott —
mentor, sage, and savant — was thoroughly out-thought,
out-foxed, out-maneuvered, out-ployed, and out-witted
by Choate Sigafoos, sophomore. M
I t happened one day when Choate was at t h l library
studying for one of Mr. Crimscott's exams in sociology.
Mr. Crimscott's exams were murder — plain, flat; murder.
They consisted of one hundred questions, each question
having four possible answers—A, B, C, and D. Thfe trouble
was that the four choices were so subtly shaded, so in­tricately
worded, that students more clever by f a r than
Choate Sigafoos were often set to gibbering.
So on this day Choate sat in the library poring over
his sociology text, his tiny brow furrowed with concen­tration,
while all around him sat the other members of
the sociology class, every one studying like crazy. "What
a waste!" he thought. "All this youth, this verve, this
bounce, chained to musty books in a musty library! We
should be out singing and dancing and smooching and
cutting didoes on the greensward!"
Then, suddenly, an absolute gasser of an idea, hit
Choate. "Listen!" he shouted to his classmates. "Tomor­row
when we take the exam, let's all — every one of us —
check Choice 'A' on every question — every one of them."
"Huh?" said his classmates.
"Mr. Crimscott marks on the curve. If we all check
the same answers, then we all get the same score, and
everybody in the class gets a 'C'."
"Hmm," said his classmates.
"Let's get out of here and have a ball!" said Choate.
So they all r an out and lit Philip Morrises and had
a ball, as, indeed, you will too when you light a Philip
Morris, for if there ever was a cigarette to lift the spirit
and gladden the heart, it is today's new Philip Morris—
firm and pure and fragrant and filled with true, natural,
golden tobacco, lip end to t ip end.

Well sir, the next morning the whole class did what
Choate said and, sure enough, they all got "C's," and they
picked Choate up and carried him on their shoulders and
sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and plied him with
sweetmeats and Philip Morris and girls and put on
buttons which said "I DOTE ON CHOATE."
But they were celebrating too soon. Because the next
time shrewd old Mr. Crimscott gave them a test, he gave
them only one-question—to wit: write a 30,000 word
essay on "Crime Does Not Pay."
"You and your ideas," they said to Choate and tore
off his epaulets and broke his sword and drummed him
out of the school. Today, a broken man, he earns a meager
living as a camshaft in Toledo.

Short On Publicity, Long On Duties,
Grid Managers Do Undercover Work
BY DON COUGHLIN
, Plainsman Sports Writer
Although publicity almost never comes their way, Auburn has
one group of gridiron performers who always do a fine job. Hard
work and no play seem to get more work for them; it happens like
that all the time.
These are the four football
managers that answer the many
shouts of Head Coach "Shug"
Jordan and his assistants. Head
manager John Ross and his crew,
Ted Gilreath, Lowell Ledbetter
and freshman manager Terry
Vaughn, handle all the undercov­er
work that keeps the Tigers well
equipped on and off the field.
The managers' main job is to
see that the "on-the-spot" re­quests
by the players or coaches
are fulfilled with the utmost speed
and accuracy. Other odd jobs like
keeping the team well supplied
with footballs, scrimmage shirts
and blocking dummies on the
practice field; checking equipment
before and after trips; distributing
the goods after they arrive at the

around when cries for assistance
sound. These jobs may sound easy,
but the sense of idleness on the
practice field any afternoon or on
the playing field during a game
is not noticable. There are too
many jobs to be done. •
John Ross, Tuskegee, is starting
his second year as the Tigers' head
manager. He does all the final
checking of equipment during
trips. He has done such a good job
for Auburn that he has been in­vited
to be manager for the up-and-
coming Blue-Gray game in
December.
Ted Gilreath, Chattanooga, is
one of Ross' understudies and his
5'7" frame can be seen all over
the field with a ball or scrimmage
shirt under his arm ready to
answer any call.
Lowell Ledbetter, Talladega, is
another understudy, but no one
can tell because he handles his
chores like a "pro." He is starting
his second year as a manager and
his final year in school.
Terry Vaughn handles all the
equipment for the freshmen, but
its not a new job for him. He was

Auburn's baby Tigers blew a 13-6 halftime lead, which

costly to Auburn.

Vandy, which sent Alabama to its
18th winless game 32-7 last week,

Grads Go To
Work A t Once
The college or university graduate
who joins Melpar is not required to
undergo a formal training pro­gram.
Instead, he immediately be­comes
a member of a project group
and is assigned to work with an
experienced engineer whose guid­ance
and assistance enable him to
advance rapidly. Members of Mel­par
project groups gain experience
in all phases of engineering prob­lems
by free and frequent inter­change
of ideas during group meet­ings.
Such experience is valuable
in leading to eventual managerial
responsibility.

Pollsters Hal Morgan and Paul Hemphill posted the best records last week, each picking nine
out of ten winners, but an outsider, Joseph Patton, predicted all of them. The consensus had seven cor­rect
choices and non-writers, Louis Pruitt, Sonny B urnett, Ralph Andrews, and Jay Morris all had eight
or more. Morgan was the only Plainsman staffer t o favor Rice over LSU, but "goofed" on Florida-
Kentucky which gave Hemphill the chance to tie h im. If you would like to try your hand at out-guess­ing
the so-called experts, put your list of winners o n a slip of paper and turn it in at the Union Build­ing
desk before 5 p.m. Those who do better than th e "consensus" will find their names printed in this
space.
SEC Clashes . . *
(Continued from page 7)
Carolina, despite Jim Tatum's
presence has fared poorly so far,
and Georgia should be able to
drop them to their fourth straight
loss.
Rice has already captured two
SEC triumphs, including last
week's win over favored LSU, and
will be pointing to another against
the Gators Saturday while Florida
will be trying to bounce back from
their defeat at the hands of Ken­tucky.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Tommy Lorino
Against Furman last Saturday, Tommy Lorino, the heralded
sophomore flash from Bessemer, finally showed the form expected
of him. In the Tigers' 41-0 romp' over the spirited Purple Hurricane,
the i 165rpounder accounted for 128 yards in nine carries, handled
the punting chores, and played a commendable defensive game.
Lorino, who has been compared to such immortals as Charlie
Trippi, turned in'two long scor­ing
excursions and was a constant
headache to the .Furman defense.
He skirted right end 33 yards!for
the first Plainsman., score midway
the firgt quarter and then rambled
55. yards to the one-yard line on
the third play of the second half.
The speedy halfback was an
All-America high School star and
one of the most sought-after play­ers
in the nation. However, he
failed, to live up to advanced bill­ing
on the Auburn frosh, princi­pally
because of the lack of an
adequate line to spring him loose
on i the long %D runs he Was not­ed
for. Then, in spring practice
he. ran second to Bobby Hoppe,
but in fall drills he was) the- most
outstanding.runner in the varsity
backfield and thus earned a start­ing
berth for the opener with
powerful Tennessee. Unfortunately, fate looked the other way in
Tommy's debut and he committed a costly fumble while the Tigers
were being trounced 35-7. -. • j
Judging from his performance against Furman, he appears to
hav"e gained valuable experience in that first game and should be a
threat'to every opponent in the War Eagles' remaining games. .
