in" the application of hydro-elec­tricity
to agriculture Alabama con­tinues
to hold first place among the
states of the Union according to Dr.
E. A. White of Chicago, chairman of
the National Committee on the Re-
"•n of Hydro-Electricity to Ag-ricultiv,-**
vftfo spent Tuesday in Au­burn
in conference with those who
>^are in chcarge of the work in the
State.
Dr. White said that research and
investigational work on this subject
is now in progress in 17 states, from
New York on the east to California
on the west, and from Minnesota
on the north to Alabama in the
south, but that the work in this state
is the most comprehensive of all.
The Alabama project was launch­ed
early in 1924 by the Agricultural
Experiment Station here in coopera­tion
with the Alabama Power Com­pany.
Prof. M. L. Nichols and E. C.
Easter, who are supervising it, an­nounce
that 130 miles of rural elec­trical
transmission lines . have been
constructed, and 117 additional
ini^pg authorized. The total con-structed
and authorized exceeds the
entire distance across Alabama. At
present 1,370 custonfers are being
served and the lines authorized will
serve an additional 1296 customers.
They reported also that the monthly
use of electrical current is rapidly
increasing, and that there is univer­sal
satisfaction among the customers.
There was a fifteen per cent in­crease
in current consumed in the
90-day period from May t* August,
illustrating the rapidity with which
farm people learn to use hydro-elec­tricity
when it becomes available.
Dr. White declared that this is the
biggest social and financial project
yet undertaken in Alabama and pre­dicted
that within a few years thou­sands
instead of hundreds of farmers
will be using electricity. He said
that the demand from the farmers is
already double that which the power

AG. FAIR TO BE
WEDNESDAY, 28
Although it is not generally con­ceded
by the majority of the stu­dents,
one of the greatest events
that is to take place on the campus
is the Ag. Club Fair.
This Fair is to be held Wednesday,
October 28, at the animal husbandry
hangar over on the Ag. Campus.
This promises to be one of the best
Fairs ever held by the Ag. Club. All
details for the different exhibits,
amusements, parade, and refresh­ments
have been worked out.
The Agronomy, Entomology, Bo­tany,
Horticulture, Animal Husban­dry
and Home Economics depart­ments
are going to put on exhibits.

To make a long story short there
will be fun galore and eats to satis­fy
those hungry.
ALABAM1ANS AID IN STOPPING
FOREST FIRES
Thus far over 3,700 citizens have
assisted the Forest Rangers in ex­tinguishing
forest fires without ex­pense
to the State during the cur­rent
calendar year, according to the
reports on file in the office of the
Commission of Forestry.
To date 18 forestry districts have
been established in Alabama while
others are in process of organization.
Each district is patrolled by a State
Forest Ranger whose duties include,
among other things, the detection
and suppression of forest fires. The
efforts of a single man, however, can­not
cope with the exceedingly dan­gerous
conditions resulting from a
long drought, and it is only with the
willing aid of his neighbors and
friends that large numbers of fires
can be suppressed.
In practically all of the districts
the community spirit is such that
upon notice of a serious fire many
citizens engage in suppression work
whether the ranger is present or not.
The situation is analagous to that
arising from a break in a river levee
or the burning of a home.^Jo one
stops to consider whether his parti­cular
property is threatened, but
hastens to do what he can to avert
damage to the community.
Every forest fire is a little fire
before it becomes a big fire. While
they are small they easily can be ex­tinguished.
Hundreds of such small
fires have been extinguished by vol­unteer
workers. Each year there
is an increasing realization of the
damage done by fires that are al­lowed
to spread, and the townspeople
as well as the rural and woods resi­dents
are becoming more and more
alert and aggressive in fire preven­tion
and suppression.
Quite an elaborate entertainment
program has been arranged for the
Ag. Club Fair.
Among the many features to be I
staged at the Fair a comedy staged !
by the girls in home economics. This
comedy portrays the burden put on !
the housewife by not having the mo-1
dern home conveniences and this
causes trouble between the husband I
and wife. Divorce is talked of but I
a home- economics woman comes and
asks the wife to come out to a food
and clothing class that she is having.
This brings everything back happy
again after the improvement of home
conveniences .
There will be a magician on hand
to show you the slight at hand. It
has been said by some that no other
magician in the South can perform
so many tricks and slight of hand
performances and at the same time
hold the crowd spell bound as long
as this great magician.
•"Old plantation" quartet promises
to give you the best selections that
are available and too, an orchestra
will furnish you all the good music
that you are looking for. The Fran­cis
brothers will furnish you a few
selections for your benefit.
A number of fine fat beef cattle
will be shown just to show you what
the animal husbandry department has
to present at the Fat Stock Show in
Montgomery which takes place the
following week.
It has been rumored that the co-eds
are going to put on a milking con­test
and it is anticipated that the co­ed
who gets the cow that will not
kick is the one that will win in this
contest.
A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR
In the fifth issue: of the Plains­man
it was stated that there
were "16 graduate students with
none doing' work in Agriculture."
We correct this statement and
take pleasure in stating that the
Ag. department still leads other
colleges on the campus with
NINE students doing graduate
work.
A case of an "O" getting in
the way of an "I", an easy thing
to do but difficult to undo.

SIX STUDENTS GO THROUGH
COUNTRY TO DALLAS, TEXAS
"Go west, young man, go west."
Thus spake Horace Greeley in
1874, when the West was a thing of
conjecture and speculation as to the
new country was running wild.
Never would the wise old sage have
thought that six strong men, and true
would heed his age old admonition
and board a modern covered wagon
and head for the country where men
are men and women are governors.
Their purpose being, not to home­stead
and search for gold, but to go
and bring back the scalps of the Lone
Star State's choicest Longhorns.
The above mentioned braves
cranked their gas buggy and headed
West Thursday afternoon at four
o'clock, headed for they knew not
where. An eight hundred mile
journey set with many perils was
facing them and they set about their
task undaunted and hopeful.
To begin the trials and tribula­tions
two tires showed their color and
went down in their tracks, after on­ly
fifty miles had been travelled. But

this temporary set back was remedi­ed
in Montgemery. As the good ship
was steered from the capitol city
rain began to fall, and continued to
fall for over five hundred miles of
the journey.
The state of Alabama was being
rapidly left behind until the party
reached the western part of the
state when the mud began to get so
BAPTISTS MEET

The Third Annual Conference of
the Alabama Baptist Student Union

will meet in the First Baptist
Church of Tuscaloosa for the regular

the Conference for group discussions
and other departmental meetings of

B&nquet will be held in the Educa­tional

A most interesting program has
been - planned for the Conference.

it advisable for them to keep from
the center of activity until the dam­aged
props have enjoyed sufficient
'rest before the Tulane game in
Montgomery next week. Shotts was
put on the shelf as a result of one
the present week's scrimmages
in which he sustained a bad shoulder
which will perhaps keep him from his
accustomed place for some time.
"Sea Cow" Turner will not start
the game and may not see service
during the afternoon, as the Mont­gomery
lad is being counted on
strongly in the coming game with the
Tulane Greenies.
The rats have been duly informed
as to the result of last year's engage­ment
with the Athenian Bullpups
when the crackers romped on the
Auburn representatives to the tune
of 46 to 2 at the Opelika Fair
Grounds. The Brownies have been
working hard for the coming game
and are out to see that there will be
no similar occurrence this year. The
Georgians are reputed to have anoth­er
strong team and the morning af­fair
is beginning to take on the pro­portions
of a real scrap. To the un­informed
it might be worth while
to mention the fact that the rats
look like the best bet the Tigertown
has had in the way of a freshman
team for several seasons.
The Tigers have not won a game
from the Georgians since the '22
season and Coach Brown's prodigies
ly student secretary for Texas but
now pastor of the First Church, Tus­caloosa,
will be among the noted
men on the program. The music

SMOKING IN COLLEGE BUILDINGS
One of the most unsightly and abomina­ble
practices on the campus is that oV stu­dents
smoking in the college buildings.
As we all know smoking in the buildings
is strictly against the college regulations
and when we break this rule we are com­mitting
an offense equal to any other
breach of the regulations.
Have you ever gone to another college
and noticed that the students meander
through the buildings puffing like a coal j
burning locomotive? No, you have not.
It is not tolerated at any institution we
have seen and there is no possibility of it
being made permissible. When a relative
or friend visits the college and sees the
hallways strewn with cigarette butts you
can imagine the opinion that they form
of the students.
The recent fire is a reminder of the
fact that the water pressure is not suffi­cient
to compete with a big fire and one
cigarette carelessly tossed around the col­lege
group can very easily reduce the col­lege
buildings to ashes.
Class meetings were held recently in
der to put before the students the above
question and we hope that we can con­tinue
to pull together and depend on each
man to do his part toward suppressing
the practice.

HOBOING THRU
That is just what a few of the fellows
at Auburn are doing — Hoboing Thru.
Sometimes we get caught'riding the rods
and our trip is unpleasantly interrupted.
It is not the chance of getting caught
while riding the Honor of your school that
we are interested in, but the appeal to
that intangible something with in you that
will prevent the taking of such chances.
The administration of the HONOR SYS­TEM
is in the control of the students of
Auburn entirely. It has come to the place
that the HONOR SYSTEM is going out
of the school altogether or it is going to
stay and be in full force. It is needless
to call attention to the various ways in
which this principle is violated on the
campus and in the class rooms, and it is
quite out of place here at this season of
the year. We have been here long enough to
know what it means to the college and to
give the Rats a thorough understanding of
what is expected of them along such lines.
It is believed that the students who vio­late

THE REWARD OF VIRTUE
"The reward of virtue," says Emmer-son,
"is virtue."
This sentence is like toast. The longer
you chew on it the more you get from it.
The idea that being good means being
rich or famous or healthy is erroneous.
It does not necessarily follow.
A person with a beautiful moral char­acter
oftentimes suffers continual ill
health.
We say it does not seem right that such
a dear, good, kind person should be af­flicted
with poor health.
But we forget that goodness will not
change the laws of nature. No matter
how good a person is, if he doesn't eat the
right kind of food and get proper exercise
and follow the laws of hygiene he will be
sick. And all the goodness in the world
won't save him. •
The reward of being good and living on
sweets and pastries is virtue—and ill
health.

Now the custom seems to have
changed completely. No longer do we see
the stately minutes of former years. Schot-tisches

the public at large. In their place have
arisen a series of weird, and eccentric
movements in which one all but dislocates
every joint of the body. Never-the-less we
are not sure that we condemn the peculiar
methods which hold sway at the present
type of collegiate dance. We have our
reasons for this startling statement, and
we believe that they are good reasons,
too. But before we give these afore­mentioned
reasons which are to revolution­ize
the thought processes of everv think­ing
person in the country, let us ask a
few questions. These shall not be irrela­tive
questions such as "Ain't it the truth,
dearie?" To which the answer is, obvious­ly
enough, "So is your Aunt Kate!" No,
indeed. These shall be germane interro­gations.
Let us now begin on them. In the first j coui(]
place, what is it that does more to at- j right

is it that brings more fame to a college
than anything else? Thirdly, why is a
college? The answer, very obviously, (If

You have to go somewhere else and pay

In living your life you have three dif­ferent

Although they overlap, each requires

Deserving in one does not mean deserv­ing

Developing the moral side alone won't

Life is complex. You have to attend to

SO a biond young
man n a rn e d
Taylor, just gradu­ating
in electrical
engineering at the
University of North
Carolina, was ad­vised
by a conscien­c
e Ta?hr tious professor. The
professor's conviction was based on quiz
papers and was amply justified. But the
young man was not discouraged; he had
other hopes, he said. Today — ten years
later—he occupies a peculiarly important
position with the Westinghouse Company.
Before Carl Taylor had completed his
apprenticeship with Westinghouse he began
to sell apparatus to utility-customers. He
had previously sold in coilege.
He had selected an electrical engineering
course because he believed the industry
promising for men oi selling interests.
f\T The question is asked: Where do young men get when they
^ \ enter a large industrial organization? Have they oppor­tunity
to exercise creative talents? Or are they forced into narrow
grooves? %
This series of advertisements throws light'on these questions. Each
advertisement takes up the record of a college man who came to
Westinghouse within the last ten years, immediately after graduation.
manager of the industrial division of the
Pittsburgh Sales Office—the largest divi­sion
of the Westinghouse Company in the
entire country. Today he has a sales
organization of sixty-five men.
To get the customer's point of view—
to go the limit to anticipate his wants and
keep him satisfied—this is the Westing­house
sales policy. It is the policy of all
enlightened industrial organizations. Men
who can exemplify it in their personal
careers need have no question about their
futures.
His first actual
order—the elec­trification
of a
scrap yard—was
awarded to him
at a higher price
than that asked
by any other
bidder because
he had "lived with" the job and given
all the service this implies.
Some months later the Company was
surprised at a request from him for an in­definite
leave ol absence. He wanted to
take a job with a manufacturer of steel mill
machinery, in order better to understand
the problems <. f such users of electrical
equipment. His leave lasted two years.
He returned from the supcrin tendency of
a well-known plant—returned at a'lower

him. But within three years he was

Saturday night off. Shreveport was
reached at ten o'clock and the party
was admitted after paying a bridge
toll to cross the Red River.
Longview and Marshall were the
first towns in Texas to be reached.
All had their eyes open for they- were
sure of seeing lynching parties, cow­boys,
cactus, armadillos, mosquites,
and allround western times. They
were disappointed for they found
cafeterias, paved roads by the mile,
limousines, an ocassional dray horse,
oil wells, and millionaires homes.
At dawn the party reached Terrell
some sixty miles from their destina­tion.
Two more hours brought them
to Dallas, the city "where the East
ends and the West begins." The Citi­es
passed through were on the plains
and could be seen for hours before
! reaching them.
Dallas, said to be the richest city
in the southwest, lived up to the re­putation
she had gained. The weary
party entered the city, unheraled and
we hope that our exit was under the
same circumstances. The presence
of such a motely crew did not create
any disturbance, no one marvelled,
and only a few showed sympathy.
Even though the game was not
won, a place was won in the minds
of the Texans' for the old Spirit was
there. We boast, and we think justly,
that the handful of Auburn suppor­ters
showed more pep and made more
more concentrated noise from their
cheering section that the mooing and
cheering of the Longhorn followers.

General Lane Chapter of the Ameri­can
Society of Civil Engineers held
their bi-monthly meeting in Broun j
Hall last Monday night. The crowd i
seems to become larger each time |
in spite of movie competition, and
the attendance this year bids fair to
eclipse all past marks.
During the course of the meeting
it was solemnly decided to admit
the Rats and Sophomores to the
meetings for the purpose of giving
these lowly persons a chance to ab­sorb
such culture as might be assi­milated
at the bi-monthly meetings
of the Order. According to the con­stitution
the Sophist can be admitted
as an associate member, while the
Frosh can enter the mystic shrine in
the role of visitor. So therefore it
behooves every Rat and Sophomore
who desires to pass an interesting
hour every Monday night to wend his
weary way toward the second floor
of Broun Hall, and to turn his steps
toward the room from which the most
noise emanates. This will be the
meeting room of the A. S. C. E. The
next meeting will be Monday, Nov.
2, at 7:00 in the evening, and a
large delegation of the two lower i
classes is expected to be on hand.
Another piece of business accom­plished
at last Monday's meeting was
that of voting down, for once and !
all, the ever-rising question of chang­ing
the meeting night from Monday
to Wednesday. It is true that Wed­nesday
is the night selected by most
organizations in which to hold their
assemblages, but the General Lanes
possess that little touch of exclu-siveness
often apparent in the great,
and, on the other hand, the mid-week
nights are spent in great labor and
travail by the Senior civils in prepar­ation
for Theory of Structures, Gra­phic
Charts, Foundations, and other
light and interesting subjects.
Mere business matters, however,
did not hold the center of the stage
for the entire meeting, as the mem­bers

He Believed a Lie
and Scorned the Truth
YOUN.G PEASANT of Central
Europe was eagerly questioning
two Harvard men regarding the won­ders
of New York.
The first one told him that some of
the New York buildings are so tall
that they are snowcapped all the year.
The peasant stared a moment at this,
but decided it must be true.
Then the second Harvard man spoke
of the great buildings equipped with
dozens of elevators, some for local
service, some for express to the twen­tieth
and higher storeys. The peasant
burst out laughing and said, "Now
you are making fun of me!"
Strange but true, of the two marvels
the real one was harder to believe.
The identification of Otis Elevators
with the buildings of New York
and other great cities of the world is
accepted quite casually by those who
visit the important world centers.

PROF. GENTRY TALKS
TO PHARMACISTS
The regular meeting of the Phar­maceutical
Society was held Wednes­day.
The program consisted -of a
talk by Prof. Gentry on "Pharmacy"
as a Profession". He pointed out
that Pharmacy is no longer- recogniz­ed
as a trade but as a profession. He
told of the importance of the Pharm­acist
to his community, calling him
the safety man between the doctor
and the public. The talk was very
interesting as well as beneficial and
was enjoyed by all present. All of
the pharmacy students are urged to
be at the Pharmacy Building every
Wednesday evening at 7:00 O'Clock
sharp. Let's make the attendance
one-hundred percent.

The Store on the Corner
The A. S. M. E. had a very enjoy­able
and interesting, as well as edu­cative
program on Wednesday night
in the Broun Engineering Building,
was C. W. Bilbe who gave us a talk
The first speaker on the program
was C. W. Bilbe who gave us a talk
on "Mechanical Engineering in
1800." Most of us were vry much
surprised to find the strides that had
been made at that early date. This
was just before the Civil war if we
recollect correctly. The Porter-Al­len!
Steam Engine was well under
way, and although crude in its pro­portions
and still cruder in its me­chanism,
was having quite a success.
Chas. T. Porter of the Porter-Allen
Steam Engine, was also interested
in different patents and applicances
which in most cases were not perfect­ed.
However, he did finally perfect
a machine for dressing stone which
lived for a short time; it being super­ceded
by a more efficient machine.
Mr. Bilbe made the principal part
of his speech on the steam engine.
In the course of his talk he calleu
our attention to the fact that the
Porter Steam Engine work was main­ly
in low pressures'and long strokes.
The Corliss Engine at that time was
in progress along with rotary valves.
The steam engine indicator card had
its birth at about this time, and
strange to say, had a very close re-semblence
to the present day card.
With the conclusion of the talk
by C. W. Bilbe we still had a wonder­ful
little talk and description of the
"Rhine from Mayence to Cologn" in
store which was presented by E. F.
Campbell, one of our vocational stu­dents,
who has actually seen the
things he told us about! Mr. Camp­bell
took us from town to town de­scribing
some particular characteris­tics
and telling some humorous tale ;
in connection with each. He also
made brief mention of the old forts
which guarded the rivers. He told
us of the legends connected with the
and of its stonelined banks all of
Rhine, of the castels on its banks,
which date back into early history
of that country. These stone lined
banks served as routes of travel in
the early days as there were no rail
roads then, but today we find rail
roads and highways on either bank
of the river.
Mr. Campbell made mention, as
he proceeded in his talk of the most
important engineering feats that he
recollected.
Dean Wilmore had just a few
words to say relative to the Corliss
Steam Engine in its infancy. Pro­fessor
Hixon concluded the program
with a joke on the first steam boat.
Professor Gorman was absent due
to a severe, cold. We missed his
presence very much.

BATCH OLLINGER
He, whose physognomy is beheld
just above, is Batch Ollinger, one of
the flankmen of the Tiger football
squad. Batch has been holding a
position on the Bengal line for the
past two years and will play his final
game on Turkey Day at Atlanta,
when the curtain will be rung down
on the '25 season. Batch is perhaps
the last of the Ollingers to perform
in a Tiger uniform. While the big
fellow was serving his first year in
Auburn with the freshman squad of
"Boozer" Pitts, his brother Rodney,
was disporting , himself on Drake
Field, as one of the big wheels of
Donahue's strong outfit of that year.
Ollinger is another of the Tiger
lettermen who hail from Mobile, and

We have espied on various occa­sions
some of Auburn's promising
young golfers, clubs in hand, wend­ing
their way in the direction to­wards
the hill on which the course
is situated. During the past couple
of weeks a tournament was held in
which there were sixteen names on
the entry list. Of these but three
remain, the most skillful ones being
Billy Wiatt, Ben Harrison, and
"Steve" Killian.
In the semi-finals Tuesday after­noon
Wiatt defeated Frank Collier,
13-year prodigy of the links, who
had won all of his previous matches.
Though he tips the' beam in the
vicinity of only 95 pounds, Collier
gave some of the wise acres quite a
run. Killian and Harrison will meet
some time near the-week end to de­cide
who will face Wiatt for the
championship of the Village.
As a reward to the prowess of the
winner a silver loving cup will be
given by the Auburn Golf Club. The
cup is now on display at the Tiger
Drug Store.
Auburn contains some very good
golfers within her gates and should
be able to gather a quartet that
would hold its own with any of those
of other southern colleges that are
entered in the annual meet.
It might be worth to mention that
the record for the local course stands
at 31, two under par, and 64 for
eighteen consecutive holes. These
records were rung up by Sankey.
TRACK SQUAD
UNDER WAY IN
FALLPRACTICE
As the fall season advances the
territory around the gymnasium is
the scene of considerable running
jumping and other arts which "com­pose
the cinder sport. Several days
ago the Tiger cross country team
held an election at which "Shorty"
Morrow was chosen as captain.
Altogether there are in the neigh-boi-
hood of sixty men out for track
including freshmen. By way of com­parison
it might be stated that, at
the University of North Carolina,
three hundred men answered the
first call. Out of practically a mere
handful of athletes Coach Hustell
has developed teams that brought
Auburn to the front on the cinder-path.
If he could get about forty
additional men out for the squad,
the Tiger coach would be highly sat­isfied,
while as it is, he has some­what
of a job on his hands in getting
an array of good performers out of
the small number now out. The track
department has facilities to take
care of virtually any number of men
who desire to compete.
A meet for the purpose of bring­ing
to light some potential perform­ers
will be held at Drake Field on
the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of November.
There will be thirteen events in the
meet and no one will be barred from
entering except those who have m'ade
a track trip while at Auburn. The
sky is the limit to the number of
men who can be engaged in any of
the events and all who are able to
come out are urged to do so. This
meet will be for the purpose of un­covering
a large portion of track ma­terial,
which lies dormant. Statistics
prove that the great majority of
track athletes had little or no ex­perience
before entering college, and
the best performers on the Auburn
teams have been those who were un­skilled
in the art before they offered
their services to the Tiger coaches.
Only officials and competitors in
track suits will be admitted to the
field. There will be four teams in
the meet taken from the four col­lege
classes. The men chosen as
captains for the various teams are
Snook, Seniors; Phipps, Juniors;
Meadows, Sophs; and Gamble, Fresh­men.
The order of events will be as fol­lows:
November 3rd; 440, pole vault
70 low hurdles, and mile. Novem­ber
4th; 880 high jump, 70 high
hurdles, and the 2 mile, November 5th
RATS PRIMED
FOR GEORGIA
Contest to Furnish First Game of
Double Header Program.
' The Tiges rodents who did not
amass a great total of points against
their junior Bulldog opponents from
Howard, are working hard out on
the rodent twin fields in preparation
for the impending clash with anoth­er
variety of freshman Bulldog which
hails from Athens. The rat esquad-rille
has been duly informed of the
score of last fall's engagement as
well as that of the previous year and
the freshies are striving to prevent
a possibility of such a result. The Cub
backfield simply refused to function
up to its usual form last week and the
Plainsmen did not succeed in travers­ing
the last Howard line until after
the fourth quarter had gotten well
underway. The score stood at 6 to 0.
Two blocked punts and a like num-jber
of intercepted passes stopped the
Tigers on occasions when they seem­ed
to be getting their bearings.
The principle feature of the game
,was the stellar work of the Tiger
line in its first contest. The High­lights
of the f oreward wall were Turn­er,
Carter, and Lynch. Carter, who
^tips the beam in the neighborhood
of 190 pounds, is one of the most
. promising men on the team, and the
i big fellow played the game in great
fashion. Lynch, the tall rodent cen­ter,
lived up to advance notices and
cut wide slices out of Baptist line.
The big fellow is an excellent pass­er,
and when all is said he is due to
make his mark with the rodents.
The halves were well represented
by McClain, and Mike Fisher. These
two worthies turned in very good ac­counts.
Fisher got away with con­siderable
yardage during the fray
and it was through his efforts that
the only tally of the game was regis­tered.
The Georgia lad, though he
doesn't carry an abundant supply
of weight, packs plenty of speed and
energy as has been evidenced at
Drake Field where he got away for
some very good runs against the
varsity squad.
The team has been handicapped
with injuries during the past two
weeks. Hartselle has been unable
to take over his position at quarter
due to an injury and Fobb James is
out of the moleskins as a result of

gridiron classic of the south and real
fight for Georgia's most prominent
fistically inclined son will draw thou­sands
of sports lovers from every
section of the Southeast.
Among the more prominent heavy
weight and light heavy weight fight­ers
mentioned as possible opponents
for Young Stribling on that night
are Gene .Tunney, heavyweight con­tender
for world's honors, Jack Re­nault,
the Canadian slugger, and
George Smith, lately of Australia
and now getting in condition for a
schedule bout with Jack Wills, the
dusky battler. All the above are in
touch with a committee from the
local Legion post, and a definite an­nouncement
will be made in the im­mediate
future.
Stribling has been defintely dated
and contracted for that night, and
at the writing all indications are
Casual Comment
With the Rats meeting the Geor-jgia
freshies in the morning and big
boys taking on the Howard Bulldogs
in the afternoon Drake Field will
take its final and dying fling at
King Football for the present season
as these are the last games billed
for the home lot.
Incidently it will be the last op­portunity
of several of the Tigers to
strut tfleir stuff in Tigertown. Those
who are piaying their last year in
a Tiger unie are Harkins, Spinks, Ol­linger,
Williams, Crane, Self, Greene
and McFadden. Quite any array of
football material, which makes things
appear a bit dismal for next season.
But with the addition of some of the
promising freshmen Morey shouldn't
have a great deal of worry, though
we must admit that the aforemen­tioned
names present a nifty cluster.
After this week's game the season
will have passed the half way mark
with five played and four to come.
The Tigers are booked to lock horns
with Tulane, Georgia, Vanderbilt,
and Tech in the order named. This
is quite a nifty quartete eh, what!
Well, we're still on the bright side
in the conference race even though
we did allow the Orange Steers to
take us in tow last week. The Long-horns

It is rumored that the Howard
gang is going to invade the Village
with the intention of taking the
Moreymen in tow. They gave the
Oglethorpe Petrals a bitter dose to

the Atlantans grabbed the verdict
by virtue of a kicked goal. The Bull­dogs
have been conserving their en­ergies
for just this occasion as a
victory over the Tigers will mean
something to the East Lake outfit.

are plenty of men lurking in the vici­nity
and ready to take over any of the
vacant spots at a moments notice.
The Howard aggregation was not
lacking in weight and speed, and put
up quite a battle in its own bailiwick.
However ,when the Kittens once
found themselves, Rat Fisher cut
loose with a nifty run or two and it
was all over.

DOPE ON THE
CONFERENCE
The football season approaches the
midway point with eight of the con­ference
members yet to take the bit­ter
dose of defeat at the hands of
a conference opponent. However,
one of these teams is practically cer­tain
to be wiped off of the slate
] when the Yellow Jackets, conquerors
'of the Nittany Lions meet one of
! t h e i r foremost rivals for the honors
] in the persons of the Alabama Crim­sons.
Both of these aggregations
\ loom up powerful, and the prospect
of either one of them getting the
verdict appears to be a toss up. This
game wijl be the only clash between
those teams that stilly are on the
: list of the undefeated.

TAKE this tip from Prince Albert: Pack your

That's the formula. Nothing complicated. And
it works, it works! Yes, sir! Every jimmy-pipe

with cool, fragrant, soothing Prince Albert.
You'll cerebrate . . . and celebrate the dis­covery.
Prince Albert is sure the right kind of
pal to tie to. No matter how stiff the grade,
P. A. will go right along with you. Can't bite
your tongue or parch your throat, because the
Prince Albert process won't let it.
Let Prince Albert cheer you with your work.
Let it sweep away the mental cobwebs as noth­ing
else can. In all the world of fine tobaccos,
there's nothing like friendly P. A. Slip into top-speed
now and head for the nearest store where
they hand out jimmy-pipe joy in tidy red tins,

Morrows and morrows and morrows,
Forever and ever, amen,
Bringing the same old sorrows,
The same old joys, and then...
Something new in the offering,
Something new and untried,
Somthing new... and with scoffing
The old is cast aside!
What is new is intriguing;
Fascinates heart and mind.
What is old is fatiguing.
Best it is left behind.

We give another a whirl.
Good Lord, you make me tired!

Bulldogs. This will be the first game
that the rodents have played against
Georgia on Drake Field in several
years as the games here-to-fore have
been played in Opelika as one of the
features of the annual fair.
If we desire to brush the cobwebs
from our memories of last years en­gagement
it will come to light that
an event not disimilar to a track
meet was held with the visitors do­ing
the road work. The final score
was something in the neighborhood j
of 46 to 2 when the whistle ended
the fray.
Reports are in the air that the j
Athenians are going to duplicate the
feat again this year. But the Tiger
rodents have announced that they
will have a thing or two to say in
the matter. The Kittens loom up as
quite a strong aggregation, and, with
similar reports eminating from their
opponents, we can prepare ourselves
for one of the famous Auburn-Geor­gia
clashes only on a somewhat smal­ler
scale. At least it is a safe bet
that the total of points will not mount
as high as it has during the last en­counters,
of these two worthies. This
game is the only game that the rats
have that is booked for the campus
i this year the other games being the
Naval Station, Birmingham-Southern
and Georgia Tech, on their respec­tive
fields.
The Tigers have been unfortunate
in landing the home engagements
owing to the fact that the stu­dent
body does not seem any
too inclined towards the support of
the team as far as the financial end
