The Opening Dances of Auburn
• f t £ , are now a thing of the present. The
^r gymnasium, beautifully decorated
with Spanish moss gathered from
the Gulf Coast, is now smiling up­on
many couples as they step to
the music of the Jack Linx Enter­tainers.
A number of belles, the
choice of Dixie, are here and the
Village has taken on the spirit of
the festival season.
Many, students are taking advan­tage
of the season of festivity for­getting
the gruelling hours of
classwork and turning their foot­steps
in the direction of the gym.
^ For the first time the Rats can be
• distinguished at the first hop from
w~ upperclassmen because of the edict
of the Senior class requiring them
to abandon their locks three months
earlier than in previous years. The
dances will last through Saturday
night when the students must for-i~-^-
r --sake maidens for books.
The success of these dances is
due to the untiring efforts of the
Social Committee, headed by Mr.
L. C. Patillo.
H. K. N. Holds
Fall Election
Eta Kappa Nu is the professional
honor fraternity for electrical en­gineers.
Xi chapter was establish­ed
at Auburn in 1920. The purpose
of the organization is to bring in­to
closer union for mutual benefit,
those men who by their attain­ments
in college or in practice,
have manifested a deep interest and
marked ability in their chosen
work.
The following members were
elected from the Senior class at a
recent meeting of the Xi Chapter:
Hugh Barber, R. A. Betts, D. L.
Garvin, W. A. Thompson, W. B.

AUBURN RADIO STATION
BREAKS DISTANCE RECORD
\
V
Another record was broken at
Radio Station 5XA early last Sun­day
morning, when "Rat" John
McCaa, within a very short time,
"worked" two-way communcation
with two stations in New England
and three in the extreme West.
About 1:00 A. M., McCaa, work­ing
from the local wireless tele­graph
station, got in touch with
Station 6JI at San Diego, Calif.
After a short exchange of "Bull"
with 6JI, communication was es­tablished
with Stations 1ALL and
1CAG, one after the other, the for­mer
being located at Bridgewater,
Mass., and the other at Cliftondale,
Mass. Then came two more calls
from the West which were worked
in succession, the stations being
6CSW and 6CTO, whose exact lo­cations
are not yet known here.
All five of these stations report­ed
5XA's signals as "fb" or "vy
QSA", which mean fine busi­ness
and very loud in "ham" talk.
Besides these, numerous other
stations were worked at no short
distances from Auburn.
This work has been carried on
rom 5XA for several years, the
lerating staff being composed en-
Irely of students. The station is
one of which Auburn can be justly
proud, it having been nationally
known as one of the best in the
South, and as one whose signals
have been "dragged down" from
jfe ether by stations ranging from
rope to Hawaii.
phe transmitter has recently
fen overhauled and the wave re-iced
in conformation with the

which cause is partly attribut-

Friendship
Council
Gives Dinner
Friday evening, October the
10th the first dinner meeting
of the Friendship Council was held.
Over ninety members were present
with the destire to start the Y. M.
C. A. work on the campus off in
a fitting manner.
After the assemblage the opening
song "Onward Christian Soldiers"
was led by Mr. Tyler. Prayer
was conducted by Rev. Davidson,
after which a most enjoyable feast
was indulged in.
Mr. Turk, president of the Coun­cil
presided and opened the pro­gram
by explaining the council
work as planned for the year.
Mr. Cooper, a member of the
class of '21 gave an explanation of
the F. C. pin and what the Friend­ship
Council means out of college.
Mr. Cooper gave a personal refer­ence
as to the value of his pin.on
one occasion after leaving college.
A short talk on "What the
Friendship Council can mean to
the student body" was given by Mr.
Young. He also showed how the
council was selected so as to re­present
every fraternity house and
most of the boarding houses about
the campus, as well as explaining
the honor, duty and privilege
which the F. C. offers to an Au­burn
man.
Mr. Williams, a graduate, very
ably showed "The Relation of Y. M.
C. A. to Church and Sunday
School" illustrating his talk by
personal and other references. The
plan for a Church and Sunday
School Drive to be conducted on
Sunday October 19 was also ex­plained
to the members of the coun­cil.
Mr. Hale added to the remarks
of Mr. Williams by showing the
percentage of Auburn students at­tending
services on Sunday. He
also compared the attendance of
the four classes ip college, urging
that the members cf the council
set the example by attending ser­vices
each Sunday.
The importance and advantages
of Discussion Groups on the cam­pus
was then discussed by Mr.
Hodges, chairman of this commit­tee.
Mr. Hodges gave a few remarks
on the value of his training re­ceived
at Blue Ridge in Discussion
Group work. The program of the
year requires that a discussion
group be organized in every house
in Auburn if possible.
The program was concluded ex­actly
on the hour, the benediction
being pronounced by Mr. Staton.
It is the ambition of all inter­ested
in the "Y" that the Council
will do some real good among the
student body this year.
"24 GLOMERATA WINS
NATIONAL CUP
Arts Craft Guild Awards
Trophy
ONLY SOUTHERN COLLEGE
MENTIONED
The 1924 Glomerata has been
awarded the Arts Craft Guild Lov­ing
Cup for showing the greatest
improvement over the annual pub­lished
the previous year. This
is the highest honor that can be
bestowed upon the Glomerata as
every college in the United States
with an enrollment of not exceed­ing
2,000 was entered in the con­test.
The contest was conducted
in Chicago under the auspices of
the National Guild Association of
Engravers and Binders, engraving
representatives who publish col­lege
annuals and the judges were
appointed by the Guild. Inci­dentally
Auburn was the only
Southern college mentioned in the
competition.
- The Arts Craft Guild Holder
Competition is held each year for
the purpose of awarding prizes to
the three best annuals in America
and also to award a cup to the
annual showing the greatest im­provement
over the previous year,
the highest honor to be given.
The contest is arranged into three
divisions, those college.fTiaving an
enrollment over 2,000, those below
2,000 and high schools. Girls
schools are excepted in the com­petition,
being under another divi­sion.
The Glomerata received the
unanimous vote of the judges, in
the award of the Cup.
To the Staff of the 1924 goes the
laurels for having such an honor
bestowed upon their Alma Mater.
The success of the book was due
to the splendid work and untiring
efforts of Earle Lutz. of Mont­gomery
and Fred Hahn of Birm­ingham,
and the assistant editors,
F. M. Orr, Arts Editor, J. L. Harri­son
Athletic Editor, W. E. Mathews,
Associate Editor, J. M. Dean Junior
Editor, Max Faulkner, W. K. Mose-ley,
W. T. Wood, Margaret Wilber,
and R. L. Simpson, Assistant Edi­tors.
J. M. Dean, Junior member of
the 1924 Glomerata is Editor-in-
Chief of this years .annual, and
Ma;x FUulknerr who was Associate
Editor is Art Editor for this year.
The Staff this year is "oing to"
work hard to equal, if not sur­pass
the record made by the staff
of 1924.

Y.W.C.A. Holds
Conference
For a long time Alabama has felt
the need of a unifying force in
her college Y. W. C. A.'s. This big
step forward was taken in Auburn
last week end when the college Y.
W. C. A. representatives of t the
state were assembled here for a
conference.
There were twenty-seven dele­gates,
from seven colleges, present.
By unity of purpose these were
able to come to a definite conclu­sion
as to the needs of college Y.
W. C. A.'s in Alabama and draw
up the'following resolution:
"Whereas, we realize the need of
a definite objective in each of our
associations,
"Whereas, -we recognize the value
of cooperation and realize the ad­ditional
strength that each of us
may gain by unified- action,
"Whereas, we are conscious of
Alabama's need of vocational in­formation
and training,
"We, the representatives of Col­lege
Young Women's Christian As­sociations
of Alabama in session at
Auburn, October 10th to 12th, do
resolve:
"First, to organize a state exe­cutive
committee, composed of rep­resentatives
from each college as­sociation,
with a chairman elected
by the conference, the purpose of
which shall be to execute the state
objective and to which each asso­ciation
will be expected to send a
monthly report.
"Second, to adopt as our state
objective for the year 1924-25 the
presentation of vocational informa­tion
to the girls of our colleges
and surrounding high schools.
Third, and ultimately, building
upon this as a foundation, to de­velop
a higher standard of trrincd
Christian Citizenship among the
girls of our state, and thus fulfill
the purpose of our national college
association, "We unite in the deter­mination
to live unreservedly Jesus'
law of love in every relationship,
and so to know God.'"
This resolution was unanimously
adopted by the conference and an
executive council was immediately
selected. This council met and for­mulated
definite plans for carry­ing
on the state objective.
Although the meetings were plan­ned
entirely by the girls, them­selves,
there were several outside
persons who contributed very large-

To 0-0 Tie
RUTHERFORD ALSO
SHINES
Under a gruelling sun and on •
slow field, the Tigers and, the V.
P. I. Gobblers fought to a scoreless
tie on Mayo Island Field, an esrt-while
river bottom, in Richmond,
last Saturday. However, Auburn
supporters are highly pleased with
the work of the Tigers and had the
game been played on a different
field we are confident that a dif­ferent
story could be told.
The Plainsmen made seven first
downs while the Gobblers were hav­ing
a hard time ekeing out three.
From the line of scrimmage the
Tigers earned 123 yards to the op­ponents'
88. In a punting duel,
Rutherford of V. P. I. punted for
an average 45 yards, with "Pea*
Green following closely with an
average of 40 yards. Incidentally
the aforementioned Mr. Don huth-erford
was credited last year with
having scored more points with
his toe than any other man in the
country.
On the kickoff Rutherford boot­ed*
the ball over the Tigers' goal
line and the oval was put in play
on their 20 yard line. On the first
play Green raced around right end
for a gain of 30 yards behind per­fect
interference. Here the Gob­blers
held and Greene punted ever
the Gobblers' goal line. From their
20 yard line the Virginians made
a first down but could not find the
Tigers' line for gain and they weie
forced to punt, the ball going out
of bounds on the Tigers' 45 yard
line. Greene made a first down
on the next play but Salter fum­bled
and Esleek recovered for V.
P. I. on Auburn's 40 yard line. On
a series of line bucks and an end
run the Gobblers made their sec­ond
first down. The Tiger line
again held and Rutherford punted
to Petersen on Auburn's 45 yard
line. He returned it to the Gob­blers'
43 yard line and the quar­ter
ended with the ball in Au­burn's
possession on V. P. I.'s 43
yard line.
The Bengals opened the second
half with a pass Green to Petersen
which netted 5 yards. A second
pass was attempted but the Fowls
grounded it and Greene punted to
their 20 yard line to Rutherford
who was downed in his tracks by
Spinks, who made a beautiful one
hand tackle. The Techmen again
failed to find a hole in the Tiger
forward defense and punted, the

talks. Miss Olive Stone, of
Dadeville, Ala., who has been in
Y. W. C. A. work in Texas, furnish­ed
the girls with the necessary na­tional
background and inspiration.
Mr. C. H. Turk, president of the.
Y. M. C. A. of Auburn, talked- on
"Cooperation of Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A." Other speakers were
Miss Zoe Dobbs, who made the vis­itors
welcome, and who talked at
several of the other meetings, and
Miss Agness Ellen Harris, who
spoke of the great need Alabama
lias for just such work as the col­lege
Y. W. C. A.'s are planning to
do.

Do you go to church as much here as you did at home? If not
do you think that you are keeping your life balanced? If anything
is not balanced there is liable to be some discord. Give this a
thought, join the crowd next Sunday and GO TO CHURCH.
THE OPENING DANCES
The opening dances are on. They are being enjoyed by many
young ladies and gentlemen. The dances in Auburn are thought of
by many people to be a time of enjoyment but others think of, them
as being a time of too much misconduct It is up to the student
body to kill all chances for the latter criticism. The spirit, as a
whole, has been splendid in Auburn this year. Let every one think
before any breaches of conduct take place, that they are hurting Au­burn
just as they would if they were forever knocking the team or
giving other bad impressions to the public. In cooperation there
is strength. Let's make this the strongest year in Auburn's history
for the advancement of the Auburn Spirit
a
The scoring temperature of the Tigers' opponents seems to be
pretty low. So far it has not been above 0.
The Auburn team hasn't just a couple of bright stars, but a
whole solar system carried on by the powerful Auburn Spirit.
Auburn is now prepared to conduct a National egg laying con­test.
We are wondering if Tech, Georgia, and other rival institu­tions
are getting their hen teams into shape for this contest.
As we are always one hundred' percent behind Auburn, let us
hope that our team gets the old Auburn Spirit and goes in to win.

about the sponge being

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
AT A. I . E. E. MEETING
After a short business session
the program of the local branch
of the American Institute of Elec­trical
Engineers at their meeting on
October 8 was given over to an il­lustrated
lecture by Mr. Cooper of
the electrical department. The sub­ject
was Experiences with the
Westinghouse Electric and Manu­facturing
Company. The pictures
were taken personally by the speak­er.
They were rather exclusive
and were taken under great diffi­culties
at night
Mr. Cooper told of his wide ex­periences
in the high voltage test­ing
department of the Westinghouse
Company. He also told what an
Auburn man might expect if he
went to work for this company.
The lecture being both interest­ing
and instructive, was enjoyed by
a large audience.
AUBURN treats a visiting team
as Clemson tries to treat her visit­ors.
Every courtesy and considera­tion
is shown to visitors, and the
Clemson men appreciate their treat­ment.
During the play the Auburn
students gave yells for any Ciem-son
men who were hurt, and after
the game large numbers of players
and students came up to the Clem­son
men and congratulated them
on their game. And some Auburn
students, while carrying off their
victorious players, also took Cap­tain
Charlie Robinson of the los­ers,
off on their shoulders. Sev­eral
Auburn players also express­ed
appreciation for the good treat­ment
..they received here last year.
The two schools, in spite of the
furor with which they attack each
other on the field of play, are the
staunchest of friends.
—The Tiger.
The above comment was clipped
from the Clemson weekly publica­tion.
In our opinion it is one of
the highest tributes that can be
paid the team and student body.
The Plainsman wishes to thank
The Tiger for their kind remarks
and join them in saying that Au­burn
and Clemson are the staunch­est
of friends.
Auburn, Alabama, now has the
distinction of having more alumni
engineers in the Westinghouse En­gineering
School, than any other
college in the United States. The
four emnloyed by the Westing­house
Electric Company, have been
given places in this school, which
is the highest honor that student
Engineers can attain in the student
department.

THE TRANSFORMATION
This morning when I walked down
the street
I wondered where I could be,
It seemed that Aladdin's wonderful
lamp
Had surely transported me.
Everywhere I saw strange sight:*,
I hardly believed my eyes,
For all the boys were wearing coats
And some were wearing ties.
I passed a crowd as thick as that
That trails a circus parade,
And what do you think they were
following?
A pretty, dressed up visiting
maid."
Walking slowly, all alone,
Came the belle of the town,
Her beaux had gone to rush the
guests
They all had thrown her down.
I next met Phenie all dressed up,
I expected the sky to fall,
So I grabbed a man and asked
"What's up?"
"The opening dances," he an­swered,
"That's all."
The Maroon and Gold recently
published this anecdote about that
fine old American wit, Mark Twain:
There was a man living near Mark
Twain who had a very remarkable
collection of books: One day Mark
Twain went over to this man's
house and asked to borrow one or
two books to read. The man was
very glad to lend him any that he
wished, but he requested that the
books be read there in order that
none be lost. Several days later
the man sent a servant over to
borrow Mark Twain's lawn mow­er.
Twain said: "It is perfectly
all right—go ahead and use it all
you like, but never allow it out of
my yard."
—The Poytechnic Reporter.

remarked.—Purple Cow.

WHEN TWAIN MET KIPLING
In the summer of 1889 Mark
Twain and Rudyard Kipling met
for the frist time. Kipling, who
had just begun to make his name
known, was touring the world. He
went to Elmira especially to see
Mark Twain. The account of the
visit and interview is described by
Mark Twain as follows:
"Kipling spent a couple of hours
with me, and at the end of that
time I had surprised him as much
as he had surprised me—and the
honors were even. I believe that
he knew more than any person I
had ever met before, and I knew
that he knew that I knew less than
any person he had met before—
though he did .not say it, and I
was not expecting that he would—
and I am the other one. Between
us we cover all knowledge; he
knows all that'can be known and
I know the rest."—Angeles Times.
AUBURN STUDENT COINS
NEW ELECTRICAL TERM
At a Senior Electrical class pe­riod,
last Tuesday, one of the most
prominent members of the class,
Mr. W. T. Savage, startled the Elec­trical
world by announcing to the
public the name of a new electrical
term. This term combines Impe­dance
and Susceptance (Terms fa­miliar
to Elec. engineers) into the
more reasonable and simple term of
Supedance.
Prof. Dunstan was high in bis
praise for the service that had been
rendered the broad field of elec­trical
engineering by Mr. Savage in
this announcement. According to
Prof. Dunstan, this term has long
been needed and wished for by en­gineers
throughout the whole world.
Mr. Savage is a Montgomery lad
and a very prominent figure among
student engineers of these parts.
This recent achievement of his
should bring him quickly to the
top of the ladder of success. He
is expected to write a new book on
non parallel A. C. circuits soon. ..--
"MR." TURK CHARMS
THE Y. W. GIRLS
On Saturday "Mr." Turk, our
professional president hypnotized
forty visiting young ladies with his
musical voice and charming per­sonality.
After being introduced
oy Miss Emily Hare he rose and
faced his feminine worshipers. He
stretched his five feet eleven to a
full six feet of manhood and his
soulful brown eyes filled with
flames of, inspiration. The crowd
was blinded by the brilliancy of
bis smile which revealed two
pearly, rows of teeth and preced­ed
his primary remarks. It is to
be regretted that so gifted a speak­er
should be the owner of so hand­some
a profile that he entirely dis­tracts
the minds of his would be
listeners.

"Our doubts are traitors and
make us lose the good we often
might win, by fearing to attempt."
Each girl who was present at the
Y. W. C. A. conference this week
end is to be congratulated for the
way in which she helped to accom­plish
something which is really a
nig step forward in the welfare of
the girls and women of the state
of Alabama.
Doubts were overcome; confi­dence
and clear thinking were
present; something new and some­thing
progressive was planned. It
is now up to the women students
of Auburn to help carry forward
what they have started by finding
out just how the plan is to work
and by backing it to the finish.
The atmosphere created by the
Y. W. C. A. conference was one to
marvel at. There was a feeling of
individual interest which has nev­er
been so prevalent before. There
was good fellowship among the
delegates and the conference was
small enough to allow every dele­gate
to know every other delegate.
The one thing which meant most,
however, was the feeling that each
one of the delegates was a part of
a big whole, which she herself
helped to create. It was this feel­ing
of individual responsibility
which made possible the working
out of the theme of the convention
and the creation of a plan for state­wide
unity.
The Y. W. C. A of Auburn and
all the women students of Auburn
wish to express to the Y. M. C. A.
and all the men students of Au­burn,
their deep appreciation for
kindness and welcome shown to
Y. W. C. A. visitors last week.
Each one of the visitors was
charmed with the atmosphere of
Auburn and the spirit of coopera­tion
which exists between men and
women here. It was due to your
very great kindness that they re­ceived
such a favorable opinion of
Auburn.
By cooperation we can do any­thing
I All women students of Au­burn
stand ready to help the men
in any way possible. The Y. W.
C. A. wishes to again thank the Y.
M. C. A. for the party given the
visitors at Smith Hall on Saturday
night and for the entertainment of
the visitors at all times while they
were here (except when you con­spired
with them in slipping away
from meetings, but that did not
happen often).
The Y. W. C. A. delegates, while
visiting Auburn, were given a tea
by the Y. W. C. A. of Auburn and
a reception by the Y. M. C. A. lioth
of these affairs were very success­ful.
The reception given Saturday
night by the Friendship Council
was considered one of the best col­lege
parties of the year and the
women students wish to express
their greatest thanks to the boys
for their hearty cooperation.
WHAT AUBURN
GIRLS ARE DOING
Auburn girls, as well as Auburn
boys, are finishing college and go­ing
out into the world to win fame
and laurels for themselves and
glory for their Alma Mater. Just as
the men who graduate from Auburn
are most often the outstanding
ones of the communitiy, so the Au­burn
women intend that the mark
of distinction for a woman shall
be that she is an Auburn graduate.
Of course the 1924 Senior girls
have not yet had time to accumu­late
a fortune or to otherwise
startle the world. Nevertheless
we are expecting great things of
them.
The eight women students who
graduated last year, about whose
work for the coming year we have
received word, all have accepted
very good positions. Six of them
will teach. Dorothy Anderson will
be at Alex City; Mary Julia Apper-son
is to teach science at Union
Springs; Leone Creel will teach
at G. M. A., College Park, Ga.; Mar­garet
Taylor is to be at Wedowee
and will teach English and History;
Margaret Wilbur is going to teach
Home Economics at Sidney Lanier;
while Helen Wise will teach at
Rogersville.
Elizabeth Striplin has accepted
a position as Home Demonstra­tion
agent for Conecuh County.
Chloe Earnest has already start­ed
work in the new field in
which she expects to spec­ialize.
She has had entire
charge of a Daily Vacation Bible
School, conducted by the Christian
Church, in Mayseville. Ky. She
has had eight faculty members and
one hundred and fifty-seven child­ren
under her charge this summer.
If she does not decide to go to col­lege
again this year and take her
master's degree, she will have a
position at Mayseville, in which she
will be in complete charge of the
church work there.
CALL FOR BEAUTY
Art Students Crave Handsome
(He) Models
All the shieks, Apollos, and other
pulchritudinous male Auburnites
will rejoice to hear that at last
their beauty will be rewarded. No
longer will the good-looking stu­dent
be afraid to admit his beauty,
for he can now capitalize this attri­bute.
Prof. D. R. McMillan has
called for those possessing Hercu­lean
shoulders and the kind of a
face that the co-eds love, to pose
for the Architectural classes any
Monday afternoon for two or three
hours.
For giving the Architects the
privilege of saying it in oils (or is
it water-cblors?) the Adonis who
is selected will be paid the sum of
one dollar in coin of the realm. At
last the day of the modern Apollo
has come, when a man can openly
admit himself to possess a beautiful
face and figure, without being ridi­culed
by ruffians on the Dormitory
steps, etc. All desiring to give the
architects a thrill will please see
Prof. McMillan at once.

From the act that was
staged here on May 1st everyone
was sure that our own "Emma"
would immediately upon receiving
the sheep skin, shine forth in the
land of filmdom. News, very much
to the contrary, has been received
as to his whereabouts.
He is now a student in the Mass.
Inst, of Technolgy working to­wards
his master's degree. His
room mate is none other than Mr.
Holman, a man who has held this
distinction for several years al­ready.
Information also states that
there are other Auburn men such
as Charlie Smith up there.
As "Emma" is still under the
watchful care of Mr. Holman, Au­burn
is looking for great things
from their own. At least his fame
will begin again when his superb
beauty and attractiveness as a
Queen is detected.

FRESH LITERARY
- SOCIE'I Y
On Monday night the rats were
treated to another good program in
the Freshman Literary Society.
When the business had been dis­posed
of Miss Martin, the Libra­rian,
explained in a very compre­hensive
talk, the workings of the
library. She pointed out that all
of the periodicals, some hundred
and twenty-five, which the col­lege
takes are bound and indexed.
In this way material may be se­cured
on practically every subject
of current interest. Also there are
over twenty-five thousand volumes
which can be circulated, that is
twenty-five thousand books that
can be borrowed free of charge.
There is a pressing need for up-to-date
novels and technical books,
and the call is sent broadcast to
all Auburn men to help as much
as possible.
Rat Williams then gave a review
of General Dawes as the business
man in politics. It is of particular
note that this man, who is a Re­publican
nominee for Vice-presi­dent,
wrote a book on banking
when he was but twenty-seven
which is still accepted as an au­thority.
Rat Pulley then gave a
talk entitled, "Richard Kane goes
to College, "setting forth the de­velopment
of the average boy at
college.
There is an interesting semi-de­bate
being carried on from week
to week in the society which is
very amusing. Last week one mem­ber
showed that the way Maggie
treated Jiggs was cruelty to dumb
animals. This week Rat Tabor ar­gued
that Maggie was justified in
treating Jiggs as she does. "How"
he asked, "could any woman love
a man with such a face?" Then of
course Jiggs is not boss of his
house but what man is? Rat Green-tree,
talked for a while on the
manufacture of copper rods and
wire. This was a technical speech,
setting forth the whole process from
billet to finished telephone cable.
The speech was well delivered and
fully explained. Rat Merriwether,
the society critic, gave a compre­hensive
and detailed criticism
which will be helpful in formulat­ing
and delivering future programs.
VETS HOLD
INTERESTING MEETING
The Veterinary Medical Associa­tion
met on Wednesday night and
had one of the best meetings of
the year. Keen interest was shown
in all subjects discussed.
After the president had called
the meeting to order the minutes
of the previous meeting were read
and adopted. The following new
men were admitted to membership
in the Association: N. D. Brad-shaw,
J. M. Wingate, J. H. Lynn, J.
C. Melvin, and J. G. McKee.
Mr. NiCaise made a very in­teresting
and instructive talk on
the Foot and Mouth Disease con­trol
in the United States. Mr.
Johnson spoke on Epistaxis.
Dr. R. S. Sugg was present and
spoke at length on the Foot and
Mouth Disease. He said that this
disease was the most highly con­tagious
disease known either in
animals or man. He then explain­ed
the great task that would con­front
the country if this disease
once found its way into the swamp
country of Lousiana and Mississip­pi.
Dr. McAdory was present and
promised the Association to talk to
them at an early date.
A recent visitor in Auburn was
Miss Helen Rhodes of Rome, Ga.,
an accomplished violinist. She de­lighted
audiences in Auburn with
her playing at the picture show, at
a luncheon, at a buffet luncheon,
and at the Presbyterian -Church.
Miss Rhodes was accompanied in
her playing by Mrs. Margaret Blair,
whom she has been visiting. Miss
Rhodes is in charge of the music
of all the theatres in Rome, Ga.
While she was in Auburn several
social events were given in her
honor. /

OWN the black-tipped lacquer-red
classic peg with wfiich Success
associates. A shapely balanced pen
that will help you give the world the
kind of impression you are capable of
creating by a rapid, characterful
hand.
A pen you can pull out in public,
and lend without a tremor, knowing
that the other man's style of writing
can't alter the point one particle.
A pen with a jewel-smooth point
that's guaranteed, if not mistreated,
for 25 years' WEAR. Hence the moat
economical pen you can buy.
A pen you can fill by simply press­ing
a Button that is capped inside the
barrel where it doesn't mar the beauty
or catch on the clothing. A clean pen
to carry and handle on account of
the Ink-Tight seal achieved by the
"Lucky Curve" feed and the double
sleeve of the Duo-Sleeve Cap.
Any good pen counter will sell you
this super-writer on 30 days'approval
—flashing plain black, or black-tipped
lacquer-red—the color that
makes it hard to mislay.

For the conveniencce of those
using them, the books of the li­brary
are in three main divisions,
as shown below:
REFERENCE BOOKS, those may
not be taken out of the building,
consisting of general and special
encyclopaedias, dictionaries, pe­riodicals,
indexes, experiment sta­tion
bulletins, and government
documents. The bound periodic­als
are kept on the second floor
of the stack; the government docu­ments,
on the third floor.
CIRCULATING BOOKS, kept in
the stack back of the desk. These
include the fiction, which is ar­ranged
alphabetically by author,
and books classified by the Dewey
decimal system. A description of
the main classes is posted in the
library.
, TEMPORARY REFERENCE
BOOKS, selected from the circulat­ing
library because they have to
be used by large groups within a
given time. These are kept on the
shelves in the top of the periodical
cases or on the charging desk.
SOME LANDMARKS AMONG REF­ERENCE
BOOKS
In using any reference book, no­tice
its system of cross reference.
Usually a "See" reference directs
you to a preferred form of head­ing;
a" See also" to additional in­formation
under another heading.
For instance, if you look up the
legal phrase "Burden of Proof",
you will be directed to the heading
"Proof, Burden of."
At the end of an article under
the heading "Pavement," you will
be referred to other articles under
''Acrbalt" and under "Boad Machin
ery" by a "See Also" or a woFtfor 4ongs and its relative position on
has excellent bibliographies. We
have the 2nd edition of 1923, sup­plemented
annually by the New In­ternational
Year Book, arranged
like the encyclopaedia, containing
the latest statistics, and recording
the progress of affairs all over the
world.
Nelson's Encyclopaedia, in loose
leaf form, so that new pages can
be inserted to keep it up-to-date.
Dictionaries of French, German,
Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek, and
English are on the reference
shelves.
Among the dictionaries and en­cyclopaedias
of special subjects,
note the two new ones:
Thorpe's Dictionary of Applied
Chemistry, 4 volumes.
Dictionary of Physics, 3 volumes.
Each student should be familiar
with the position and general con­tent
of:
Warner's Library of the World's
Best Literature, 30 volumes.
Moulton's Library of Literary
Criticism, 8 volumes.
Granger's Index to Poetry and
Recitations.
Dictionary of National Biog­raphy,
63 volumes.
Larned's History for Ready Ref­erence,
6 volumes.
USING THE LIBRARY
A Bibliography is a list of refer­ences
to books, periodicals, and
bulletins on a given subject If
you want to get together all ma­terial
in this library on the sub­ject
of your theme, begin with the
INDEX to our books, which is in
the form of a Card Catalog, in
which each book in the library is
represented by a card under the
Author's name. Most books are
filled under a subject heading,
written in red ink; those with strik­ing
titles have a Title Card filed
under the first word of the title
not an article. These cards are
arranged in alphabetical order like
a dictionary.
For example, Johnson's "The Isle
of Shamrock" may be found under
"Johnson", the author, "Isle of
Shamrock," the title; and under
"Ireland", the subject.
The figures and letters in the
upper left hand corner represent,
with the author's name, what is
called the Call Number, which
shows to what class the book be-
Correcting a Mistaken Idea
'There is no frigate like a book
To take us leagues away,
Nor any charger like a page
Of prancing poesy."
Year before last the bookstore
carried on the business of renting
the required English classics to the
freshmen who did not want to pur­chase
the book outright. They
found it an unprofitable and in­convenient
enterprise and sold out
their stock to the second hand man.
The librarian was persuaded that
it would be doing the freshmen a
favor and introducing them
pleasantly to the library if this work
were carried on by the library. A
special assistant was employed to
handle the books and keep the nec­essary
records. The rent was low­ered
from twenty-five to fifteen
cents. The library came out at the
end of the year without any seri­ous
financial loss, but with some
loss of prestige among the greenest
of our freshmen. They got the
idea that'they were being discrim­inated
against in that they alone
had to make a deposit and pay rent
for books. As some of them rarely
read anything other than required
books they became convinced that
all library books were rented to
freshmen. Some of the upper
classmen who do not come to the
library very often absorbed this
impression with additions; all
books were rented to all users of
the library and only between the
hours of seven and nine at night
There are six books that have
been purchased in quantities and
are rented to any one who wishes
to use them outside the library.
These are: Pride and Prejudice,
Wuthering Heights, Great Expec­tations,
Scarlet Letter, Adam Bede,
and Vanity Fair. THERE ARE
THIRTY THOUSAND OTHER
BOOKS THAT CAN BE TAKEN
OUT FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT
ANY CHARGE. The expressed
wish of a teacher may at any time
keep these in the library so that
all within a given time may have
an equal chance of access to them.
All reference books and periodi­cals
are kept in the library for
the same reason.
Over two hundred freshmen and
upper classmen have been recent­ly
pledged by the local fraterni­ties.
These- fraternities number
twenty-two and their pledges re­present
all parts of Alabama as
well as portions of Georgia, Louis­iana,
Florida, and Tennessee. Fol­lowing
is a list of the pledges and
their home address.

phrase meaning the same thing
Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th
edition of 1910, with the three sup-'
plementary volumes of 1922. Note
the Index Volume, useful because
the long articles by specialists,
which make this the most interest­ing
and scholarly of reference
books, include many subjects found
in other encyclopaedias under the
specific heading.
For instance, a drawing and a
description of a "Lactometer" can
be found, by means of the Index,
under the heading "Hydrometer."
Comprehensive bibliographies are
found at the end of all important
articles. In opposite fashion to the
Britannica, the New International
Encyclopaedia treats specific sub­jects
in short articles, arranged in
alphabetical order, and brings re­lated
headings together in a vol­ume
called Courses for Reading and
Study. This encyclopaedia gives
pronunciation oFpFQper names and
__
the shefrss.
The books are arranged on the
shelves in numerical order from
100 to 900, and under each num­ber,
arranged alphabetically, by
author.
821 is the class number of Eng­lish
poetry, and each poet's work
is easily found between Arnold
and Yeats.
If you want Milton's Poems, ask
for "821 Milton." .
An "R" in front of the number
indicates that the book is on the
reference shelves.
PERIODICAL INDEXES
Poole's Index, 1802-1906; not
very useful to us because few of
our bound periodicals go back so
far.
Reader's Guide to Periodical Lit­erature,
1900-1904, 1905-1909, 191Q-
1914, 1915-1921, 1922, and the un­bound
numbers of 1923. This in­dex
appears monthly and cumu­lates,
one every two or three
months, so that smaller numbers
can be discarded.
August 1923 is for the eight
months. October combines Sep­tember
and October. The Decem­ber
number is a bound volume for
the whole year.
Every four years, a large cumula­tion
is published and the annual
numbers can be destroyed.
These indexes are arranged al­phabetically
by Author, by Title,
and by Subject like the card cata-
*» i II
For example, in looking up the
subject "Genetics," no entries are
found in the first two large vol­umes;
but in the 1910-1914 num­ber
these are found:
Genetics—
Effect on Research in Genetics
on the Art of Breeding. H. J. Web­ber.
Science 35:597-609. Ap. 19,
•12.
Eugenics and Genetics. C. G.
Nuttall, Fortn. 95:453-60. Mr. '11.
Same, Sci. Am. S. 71:271-2. Ap. 29,
'11.
Fourth International Conference
on Genetics. Nature. 87:532. Oc.
19, '11.
The first part of the entry is
the title of the article, the second
is the author; the third is the name
of the periodical.
The volume number is followed
by the inclusive paging; then comes
the date, very useful if the period­ical
is still unbound, or if it is not
continuously paged. A colon sep­arates
volume from page. N
The second entry shows that the
same article is in two magazines,
one of which we may have.
The list of bound periodicals in
the library is in the back of the
guide, also posted in the library.
If the abbreviations in any ref­erence
book puzzle you look up
their meaning id the front of the
volume.
Do not pick up the guide and
bring it to the desk assistant; ask
for a card and copy the reference
thus:
Science, n. s. 35:597-609, Ap. 19,
'12.
Sci. Am. S. 71:271-2. Ap. 29, '11.
Decide whether you want the
very short article indicated in Na­ture.
In looking up the name of an au­thor
who is writing in current pe­riodicals,
you will find his works
listed in alphabetical order, and
articles about him given at the last.
The change from the man us au­thor
to the man as subject is indi­cated
by the change in the alpha­bet.
In the Card Catalog, the man
as author is written in black; as
subject, in red. \

AG. CLUB MEETING
The University of Minnesota now
publishes the largest university
newspaper in the world. Although
there are other college dailies car­rying
syndicated and wire news or
world events which have published
larger editions, The Minnesota Daily
carrying only college hews and pre­pared
for publication by universi­ty
students, has the largest circu­lation,
the greatest amount of col­lege
reading material, and the most
substantial advertising of any col­lege
daily newspaper. The paper
has sixteen pages each issue, many
cuts, cartoons, and a circulation of
15,000.
The Agricultural Club was fortu­nate
last Thursday evening in hav­ing
Mr. Herman Trapp, well-known
accountant on Ag. Hill, to say a
few words to the Club. Mr. Trapp
congratulated the Club on being
the most coherent "bunch" on the
campus, with no place for knock­ers.
He urged the Club to, assist
in the abolishing of red flag wav­ing
and to support loyally the ad­ministration.
He also urged the
observance of the Honor System,
especially with regard to individual
cooperation, making rigid proced­ure
unnecessary.
J. B. Sylvest gave a most inter­esting
description of sugar produc­tion
from sugar cane in Louisiana.
He stated that our sister state pro­duces
nine-tenths of all "sugar­cane
sugar" produced in U. S., it
being their only crop. He vividly
traced its course from time of har­vesting
by negro labor to the great
refineries.
Mr. J. W. Millner gave a very
interesting discussion on the Ruhr
situation, stressing its bearing on
the economic condition of the
countries involved. Mr. Earle
Thomas gave the high points of
interest of the fat stock show re­cently
held in Montgomery.
After several humorous sallies
by various members of the Club, a
motion was made to adjourn and
carried.
With a larger attendance than
ever the Wilsonian Literary Socie­ty
met Tuesday night to .present its
interesting program. Mr. Rumbley
gave an interesting talk on current
events, followed by Miss Ethel
Price who told us in no uncertain
way what she would do were she
a boy. Football, hero, sheik, and
general lady kiler would be her
goal. This sounds as though some
of the fair co-eds thought that they
were not receiving enough atten­tion,
how about it? Then Mr.
Francis gave us some very enter­taining
jokes, which some of the
members will probably tell you
within a few days. Miss Margaret
Cheshire read an interesting story,
"The Gift of the Magi," which
holds for all the lesson that God's
gifts are the greatest. Mr. Ingram,
the Wilsonian representative at the
last meeting of the Freshman Liter­ary
Society told us that he thought
that the Rats were forming a So­ciety
that bid fair to equal the
older societies in interest and gen­eral
conduct. Mr. Suratt attended
the meeting as a representative of
the Websterian and extended con­gratulations
to the Wilsonian and
invited all to visit his society. Mr.
Stevens as representative of the
Rat Literary Society also extended
an invitation to all, mentioning the
fact that you did not have to look
like a freshman to hear the Ro­dents
perform. The Wilsonian
President told Mr. Stevens that all
the older societies were behind him
and wished the Rats all success.
Go to it, Freshmen. A letter from
Mr. W. E. Sewell, former president
of the society, extended best wishes
and a desire to help in any man­ner
possible. He said that the work
done in the society was such that
it would help one wherever they
went. Mr. Sewell is now in Col­umbia
University.
Although the program was good
and we notice by the many inter-society
speakers that the commit­tee
appointed for that work has
done wjell, let's have a larger at­tendance
than ever before at sev­en
fifteen next Tuesday night in
room 310, Main Building.

The Websterian Literary Socie­ty
held their meeting on Tuesday
night, October 14. Although the
attendance was somewhat lower
than the preceding meeting of the
year, a very interesting program
was presented. Turner Ivey gave
^a short talk on the present situation
in China. He especially empha­sized
the rapid progress being
made along educational and relig­ious
lines. A full account of Ten­nyson's
life, was made by Primm,
'28. Mr. Evans, of the English De­partment,
then outlined an ideal
literary society. He stressed three
vital points in the life of a literary
society: pleasure, literary effort
and ease of expression.
There were several visitors from
the other societies who gave re­ports
of the work being done in
the sister organizations. The Web­sterian
is at all times glad to have
visitors either from the other so­cieties
or those interested in so-
On a recent date the outfit, used
by the Alabama Power Company to
filter the oil in the many trans­formers
throughout their vast pow­er
system, made a visit to Auburn.
The outfit was located on a spe­cially
built truck and supplied
with all necessary equipment need­ed
in filtering arid testing trans­former
oil. It was under the sup­ervision
of Mr. Bryan, one of the
Power Company's engineers.
Mr. Bryan was kind enough to
invite all students interested, to
watch the filtering and testing pro­cess
while the oil in the local sta­tion
was being filtered. Many stu­dents
took advantage of the op­portunity
and enjoyed watching
the operations and hearing the ex­planation
by Mr. Bryan. This is
ARCHITECTURAL STUDENTS,

Freshmen in Architecture, did
you know that there is a students'
architectural association which
meets once a week and which has
your interest at heart? We want
you to come out and help us help
you and ourselves. Last Tuesday
night we had two valuable speeches
by students: Marketing Wet Con­crete,
Campbell; Plagarism in Art,
Charlie Snook.
After the speeches there was a
lively discussion in which almost
everyone present took part.
Throughout the year there will be
varied programs. It will sometimes
be possible to get out of town
speakers and often Prof. Biggin
will speak to us on topics of vital
interest to architects.

BULLDOGS
HAVE CHEWED

With The Enemy
Our guests of next Saturday, the
Howard Bulldogs, trampled on,
chewed, bit, and otherwise mal­treated
the University of Chatta­nooga
crew by a 28 to 0 score.
Howard has scored 90 points in
her three games this season while
their goal line has been free from
all alien cleats.
The Tigers from Louisiana State
ent North and surprised the Uni­versity
of Indiana by handing them
a 20 to 14 licking. The Indians
made .a first down on L. S. U.'s
one yard line in the last period,
but the Tigers fought like pupils
of Mike Donahue should fight and
the Northerners were held for
downs. L. S. U. has an open date
this Saturday, presumably resting
before tackling the Auburn Tigers
in Birmingham.
Another Northern Invasion that
nearly proved succesful was made
by the Georgia Bulldogs. The Geor­gians
made a magnificent fight
against the Northern Bulldogs,
gaining more ground and generally
outplaying them. Lack of reserve
power and some rather surprising
interpretations of the football rules
by the referee were mainly respon­sible
for the defeat of the plucky
Southerners. Georgia will meet
. Furman next Saturday and will
probably beat them, although the
Purple Hurricane will give them a
fight for the honors.
Georgia Tech and Florida have
just about decided that neither
team is the better, since the scores
of their games for the past two
years have been 7—all each time.
This year Florida cleanly outplay­ed
"Pech; last year it was the other
way around, so that leaves honors
about even. Doug Wycoff was as
usual the Tech hero, snatching up
a fumble and galloping 25 yards
for a touchdown. Tech will have
all kinds of opposition next Satur­day
when they will act as hosts to

the big Penn State Lions at Atlanta.
The mighty rush of the Vander-bilt
Commodores was halted tem­porarily
by the Quantico Leather­necks,
who tied Kelly and Co. 13
to 13. The tie was made possible
by Mr. All-American Bomar, the
large gentleman who plays end for
Vandy; this worthy clasping a
fumbled ball to his massive bosom
and racing 90 yards for a touch­down.
Vandy should beat Tulane
fairly easily next Saturday.
Tulane kept up her streak by
riding over Louisiana Tech by a
score of 42 to 10. The Green Wave
will have to be pretty strong to get
over Vanderbilt next Saturday.
Speaking Of Sports
When a game is tied it is usu­ally
customary for one team or an­other
to claim a moral victory and
rejoice accordingly. This helps to
soothe feelings and also makes up
for that unsatisfied feeling.
It is our humble opinion that the
moral victory, and all its benefits,
real and imaginary, belongs to the
Auburn Tigers, rather than to V.
P. L The Tigers made a long trip
to play the game, and were under
a weight handicap of nine pounds
per man. Notwithstanding this
' they proceeded to gain one hundred
and thirty-one yards to the Gob­blers'
eighty-eight, and to chalk up
six first downs to the Virginians'
four.
True, the goal line was in dan­ger
oncce, but was the danger so
great after all, with Grisham, Law-ice
and their playmates tighten-
,up every, time V. P. I. got too
ressive?
tast Saturday might have been
lied the day of upsets, with L.
U. and Williams leading the
field, those teams beating Indiana
and- Cornell respectively, Cornell
losing after piling up a record of
twenty-six straight victories.
Georgia nearly provided the most
nsational upset of all, outplaying
>. mighty Yale Bulldogs for the
iter part of the game, and near-shalking
up a victory over the
is of Eli, in spite of a touchdown
iated to the Northerners.
Two other Southern colleges that
went up and did their best were
William and Mary and King Col­lege,
who did not have quite enough
to win, although both succeeded in
scoring on their opponents.
When two teams have started off
the season without being scored on,
and when they most decidedly
don't want to be scored on, a
scoreless tie is the natural result.
Such was the case with Auburn
and V. P. I. last Saturday, but there
is a bare possibility of this rule be­ing
broken out at Drake Field this
week*sad»x h^ir
Most of the Southern Conference
teams have not met a Conference
opponent this season, some of them
have stacked up against one, and
a very few, like Auburn and Tech,
have done battle with two. So
just now, everybody has an equal
chance, but with the season now
well under way, the Conference
teams will be brushing up against
each other more regularly and the
sheep will begin to be separated
from the goats.

who returned 5 yards. Greene
returned the punt; it was rushed
and went for only 15 yards. Ruth­erford,
the mighty, returned the
punt, the longest of the game, for
aa yards. The Gobblers' forward
defense tightened and the Tigers
iailea to make a gain and Greene
punted to Rutherford who worked
to tne Tigers' 35 yard line and pre­pared
for a* drop kick but a bad
pass from center foiled his plans.
Alter exchanging punts Clabber
Williams attempted a field goal
from the Gobblers' 35 yard line but
the bah went wide of the goal posts
ny bare inches and the half ended.
Ihe opening of the second half
saw the most spectacular play of
the game, and seemed for a second
that Auburn would score two
points at least Williams kicked off
to Roberts who was standing on
the goal line. Roberts' try to catch
the ball was muffed and the ball
went over the goal line; he re­covered
the ball and wormed his
way back to his one yard line, be­fore
being slopped by Ollinger.
Roberts punted to Petersen in
mid-field who returned the ball ten
yards. After three trys Greene
punted to V. P. I.'s 15 yard line
and Roberts returned five yards,
being downed by Fatty McCully.
For the remainder of the period
punts were exchanged and at the
end of the period the ball was in
Auburn's possession on her own 40
yard line.
Auburn was penalized on the
first play of the last period and
after two rams at the bine Greene
punted out of bounds on the Gob­blers'
thirty-five yard line. Ruth­erford
retaliated with a punt of
55 yards to Petersen who was
downed in bis tracks. Allen failed
to gain through the line and Greene
punted 45 yards to Roberts who
returned 5 yards. It was here that
the Gobblers made their third and
last first down. A pass to Ruther­ford
netted the Virginians 23 yards
and three line bucks placed the
ball on Auburn's 24 yard line.
Rutherford made another vain at­tempt
to score but his try for a
field goal was rushed and the ball
went wide of the goal posts. On
successive runs by Allen, Greene
and Turner the Tigers placed the
ball on the 30 yard line and the
game ended.

RATS SWING INTO
ACTION FRIDAY
One of Coach Neweli's squads
will journey over to Macon Satur­day
to grapple with the Mercer
Frosh, wniie the other will play
the Wetumpka High eleven. The
aspirants for positions on the first
squad have been divided into
groups of about 25 each. At pres­ent
tne facilities for dressing at the
gymnasium will not accommodate
all those going out. The team which
goes over to Macon this week will
by no means be the final choice
for the first string, as promotions
from the second squad and demo­tions
from the first will be in or­der
throughout the entire season.
The Tiger Cubs meet a foe of no
mean ability when they take on the
Mercer Freshmen. Only last Sat­urday
the "young varsity" from
Mercer humbled the strong Locust
Grove Academy team to the tune
of 26-0. Our own rodents show
flashes of real form, and should
round into one of the best Rat
teams turned out in years. The
backfield, though rather bight, is
fast and shifty; while the line in
two or three more years should
measure up to some of those famous
in old Auburn's football annals.
The following men comprise, at
present, the first string pick and
from whom those making the trip
to Macon will be picked: Tackles:
Manley, C. A, Scott, Lutz, Porter,
and Cunningham. Guards: Beck­ham,
Burns, Prim and Carroll.
Ends: Richardson, J., Shepheard,
Richardson, O., and M. Manley.
Centers: Patterson and Fox. Quar­ters:
Tuxworth and Willis. Halves:
Hardwick, Newsome, Ellis and
Hitchcock. Fullbacks: Granger,
Shotts, Hagood and Procter.
Gang, let's show the Rats we are
behind them this year. Stop on
your way out to Drake Field to
shout a few words of encourager
ment to them. Kirk says he will
put out a team this year that will
make Ratdom sit up and take no­tice.

VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC
INSTITUTE
Blacksburg, Va.
October 13, 1924.
Prof. Roy Dimmitt,
Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
Auburn, Alabama.
Dear Prof. Dimmitt:
I wish to take this opportunity
of saying to you how much we ap­preciated
having a game with your
team this year. In my 20 years of
experience in athletics I have never
met'or been associated 'with- a
cleaner bunch of men than those
that represented you last Saturday.
The feeling that existed between
the two teams was of the highest
type and when the game was over
it was a real pleasure to me to
watch the members of the teams
congratulating one another. I want
you to congratulate your team and
coaches, for V. P. I., on their won­derful
sportsmanship.
Very sincerely yours,
C. P. Miles,
Director of Athletics.
The above letter was received
from V. P. I. today. We wish to
take this opportunity to thank
the V. P. I. authorities for their
kind words and to congratulate
them also on their sportsmanship
and irreproachable treatment.
For the second and last time this
year, the Auburnites will disport
on their native soil, their playmates
on this occasion being the Crim­sons
of Howard College. The Tig­ers
can usually chalk up a victory
with comparative ease, but they
are distrustful of all Birmingham
teams this year since the awful
rub given them by Birmingham-
Southern earlier in the season.
The Tiger offense failed to func­tion
last week, but the heat and the
condition of the field was enougii
to discourage anybody. At that
they gained more yardage and made
more first downs, something that
they have not failed to do thus far
this season. It was the Tiger de­fense
that showed up best last Sat­urday.
Every time the Gobblers
would threaten the Auburn goal,
Grisham, Lawrence, and their pais
in the front rank would tighten up
and discourage all further attempts
in this direction. Turner also back­ed
up the line in great fashion, one
writer saying that his work re­sembled
that of Ed Shirling, which,
as everybody knows, is just about
as much as anybody could desire.
Howard has shown plenty ol
stuff so far this season. They have
met Marion, Jacksonville Normal,
and Chattanooga University, and
have rolled up a grand total of
ninety points, while their goal bine
is still unsullied. The team is un­der
the leadership of Quarterback
"Ham" Stevens, who will be re­membered
for his boxwork against
Auburn last spring. The big star
so far this year has been Polly
Scokel, who also shone on the dia­mond
last spring. Among the lines­men
Bull Spicer stands out, and
promises to give the Tiger for­wards
a lot of trouble.
As the opening dances occur this
week end, and as there is always
a large delegation of Howard root"
ers, the prospects are that quite a
large crowd will be present, and
both teams will probably have a
great number of fair rooters to urge
them on to greater "deeds of valor.
Howard can always be depended
on to put up a great fight and do
their utmost, and as the Tigers are
trying to forget about Richmond,
and are regarding the menu of
"Ham", "Polly", and "Bull" with
great relish, there promises to be
plenty of action on old Drake Field
this Saturday.
LOUISIANA TIGERS

While citizens of Birmingham
are visiting us this Saturday, let
us not forget that there is a highly
important visit to be made to Bir­mingham
a week from tomorrow.
The Tigers of Auburn and L. S. U.
will meet there October 25, and the
Piainsmen will have to have all the
support they can get to down the
Louisianans, for Mike has a strong
team this year, as was shown by
their game with Indiana. So every­body

make a date with somebody, them­selves
if necessary, in Birmingham

MADE PRESIDENT
BIG POWER COMPANY
The presidency of the great
North West Electric Light and
Power Association has gone to a
graduate of Auburn, Richard M.
Boykin, according to information
received by Dean J. J. Wilmore of
the Engineering Department. Mr.
Boykin was a student under Dean
Wilmore.
After receiving the degree of B.
S. in electrical engineering at Au­burn
in 1897, he immediately start­ed
electrical construction work in
cotton mills in South Carolina.
Later he was employed by the
American Press Steel Pulley Com­pany
in Philadelphia and then
went to Nevada where he was con­nected
with several of the metal
mines.
In 1924 Mr. Boykin became man­ager
of the North Coast Power Co.
which was absorbed by the Puget
Sound Power and Light Company
with offices at Portland, Oregon.
NOTED EDUCATOR
PASSES AWAY
Those who have been in Auburn
for several years will regret to
learn of the recent death of Dr.
E. E. Sparks, President Emeritus of
Penn. State College.
Dr. Sparks has, in the past, made
a number of trips to Auburn and
his attractiveness as a speaker has
won him many admirers here. He
was a very prominent member of
Phi Kappa Phi honor society which
has an active chapter here. In the
past few years he has visited over
a, hundred of the leading colleges
and universities in the United
States in interest of the promotion
of scholarship among students. The
loss of this great educator will be
felt in many of the colleges and
universities throughout the coun­try.
NEW POULTRY FARM
LARGEST IN STATE
LETTER FROM RICHMOND
Dear Mr. Pitts:
I am mailing you parcels post
today, a head gear and some keys
which our janitor at the boat club
found after the boys left Saturday.
I also want to take advantage of
this opportunity to thank you for
inviting me and particularly my
boy, Otis, to sit on the players'
bench during the game Saturday.
It meant a great deal to both of us
to be out there "rooting" for Au­burn
and the Orange and Blue.
It has been a source of pleasure
to me to hear so many favorable
comments made on your team for
its clean play and sportsmanship
and you may rest assured that you
will have the good wishes of the
Richmond sporting public in your
coming contests for the remainder
of the season. Particularly do I
want to commend the action of one
of your men who tackled the V. P.
I. man on the receiving end of a
pass in the fourth quarter—you
will recall the play I know. In­stead
of throwing this player down,
as he could have done, he held him
in mid-air and stopped the play.
That one play did as much as
every other play of the whole
game, made the Richmond public
a friend of the Auburn team.
I enjoyed thoroughly meeting
you again as well as the boys on
your team and hope you can come
to see us again.
. With heartiest and best wishes
for a successful season this year
and the years to come, I am.
Sincerely,
H. H. Smith.
The above letter was recently
received by Coach Pitts. It is
from an old Auburn man who dis­tinguished
himself here as quarter­back
on the squad of '94. Mr.
Smith is a brother of Mrs. C. C.
Thach, widow of the late Dr.
Thach.
Among the many things that Au­burn
has to be proud of is the fact
that they have teams made up of
real men as well as athletes.
That Auburn is to have a poultry
farm is news to many Auburn stu­dents.
This poultry farm is to be
under the direction of Mr. John E.
Ivey, Poultry Specialist of the Ala
bama Polytechnic Institute. One
unit of this farm is to be the build­ings
and grounds, devoted to the
new egg laying contest. The other
unit is to be a farm of about two
thousand birds, run entirely on-an
economic basis, which will be an
effort to show farmers that money
can be made in the chicken busi­ness.
A national egg laying contest, to
be conducted in one of the South­eastern
states, has been contem­plated
for several years. Plans for
a 35,000 dollar national egg laying
contest are now being rushed to
completion, under the auspices of
the Alabama Extension Service, the
Experiment Station, and the Ala­bama
Farm Bureau Federation. The
purpose of the egg laying contest
is to stimulate a greater interest in
poultry raising, and to impress on
the minds of the people the value
of proper housing, feeding, and
breeding of poultry. One thousand
hens will engage in the contest here,
beginning November the first and
lasting for one year. There are
already completed forty eight con­crete
buildings, 12 by 14 feet. This
gives the hens sufficient space to
keep them healthy and in the best
condition. An entry will consist
of ten purebred pullets of the same
variety. Daily records by pens and
by individual hens will be kept.
These records will include the num­ber
of eggs laid, weight of eggs,
and the amount of food consumed.
Every Thursday night the standing
of each entry will be broadcasted
from station WMAV at Auburn. Re­ports
will be sent weekly to all con­testants
and to the newspapers.
On the commercial unit of Au­burn's
poultry farm work along
all the phases of the poultry busi­ness,
including the means of con­trolling
diseases, and the theory
and practice of breeding are to be
worked out.
Optimistic workers connected
with the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
have a vision of a hundred
thousand dollar poultry building
to be erected on the campus some
time in the future, which building,
together with these other things
already realized, will make Au­burn's
Poultry facilities second to
none in the United States.

FRESHMAN CONVOCATION
Freshman Convocation was open­ed
by a selection "If I Were King,"
by the orchestra.
Alma Mater was sung by the stu­dents
with Prof. Bidez leading.
Mr. Williams of the Church and
Sunday School Department of the
Y. M. C. A. then announced that
next Sunday was to be a one hun­dred
percent church attendance
day.
After the morning devotional ex­ercise
was rendered by Mr. David­son,
the Methodist, Student Pastor,
President Dowell spoke on several
interesting subjects, one of which
was about the memorial tablets in
Langdon Hall.
President Dowell then introduc­ed
the Rector of the Episcopal
Church, Mr. Ossman, who gave
quite an interesting talk on the
Spirit of Auburn and Manhood.
Mr. Sims, of the state club work­ers,
was introduced and merely
stated that all students that were
in any department of club work of
the Agricultural course, would meet
directly after Convocation in front
of Langdon Hall and have their
pictures made.
Convocation then closed with
the general rush for the exits.
