TO FOS/FER THE AUBURN SPIRIT Vol.. XXVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1924 No. 6 OPENING DANCES THIS WEEK END Many Visitors Here For Hop Friday and Saturday TERPSICHORE TO REIGN SUPREME 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. Wood, Cameron White. 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 ||pid development of the science, which cause is partly attribut- [its most recent successes. 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. T. B. P. Names Pledges During the last meeting of the Auburn chapter of Tau Beta Pi, eight initiates were selected as the full quota of the chapter. Tau Beta Pi is the national honorary fraternity for Engineers. The Alpha Chapter was established at Auburn in 1921. The purpose of the association as taken from the constitution is "To mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by a high grade of scholarship as undergraduates, or by their attainments as alumni; and to foster a spirit of liberal, culture in the engineering schools of America." The following is a list of the fall initiates: E. F. Williams Chem. Eng. W. J. Long C. E. A. E. Duran E. E. D. L. Garvin E. E.. Elmer Graff E. E. J. E. Payne . . . ...E. E. H. H. Knowles C. E. J. H.

All Methodist students are invited to come in and get acquainted, share the fun, and refreshments with the Leaguers. Those who have already attended League Social events will welcome this opportunity while Freshmen and others who are not familiar with them should by all means make it a point to be there. RADIO CLUB MEETS The Auburn Radio Club held its regular meeting Saturday night, October 11. The meeting was called to order by President J. M. Wilder. The hour was given to the discussion of plans whereby the membership of the club might be enlarged and the general interest and activity of the club increased. The next meeting will be held on October 18 as many students are expected to attend the L. S. U. game in Birmingham. An interest- The sororities at Auburn announce the following pledges: Kappa Delta: Charline Baugb-man, Auburn; Dorothy Taylor, Auburn; Mary Jim Delbridge, Nota-sulga; and, Catherine Hare, Auburn.

It is believed that this system will make a better and more impartial feeling among the sororities on the campus. ing program is promised and all Radio enthusiasts are cordially invited. Note "The Bulletin Board." 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- Lawrence and Grisham Star as Teams Battle 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 (Continued on Page 7) ly to the success of the convention, by their presence and by their inspiring 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. THE PLAINSMAN Published weekly by the Students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala.

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. We have noticed that some people have Opelika hair—near Auburn. Show the bulldogs that old Auburn Spirit DISTINCTIONS AND HONORS Many students this year are trying to make the honor roll in scholarship, and are, therefore, interested in the regulations of the college governing the award of honors. Students in any class whose quality points amount to 90 per cent of the maximum number possible attain highest distinction. Those whose quality points amount to 75 percent of the maximum number possible attain distinction. QUALITY POINTS Quality points are assigned to grades in accordance with the following scale: Grades 95-100, 5 quality points for each semester hour. - Grades 90-94, 4 quality points for each semester hour. Grades 80-89, 3 quality points for each semester hour. Grades 70-79, 2 quality points for each semester hour. Grades 60-69, 1 quality point for each semester hour. Quality points not to exceed 5 a semester are awarded, in accordance with a fixed scale, for attendance at Convocation. A maximum of 5 quality points a semester may be awarded for satisfactory work in literary and professional societies and in other approved organizations. GRADUATION WITH HONOR Graduation with honors is dependent upon the accumulation of quality points throughout the course. Seniors who attain 90 per cent of the maximum number of points possible for the entire course are published as Graduates with Highest Honor. Seniors who attain 75 percent of the maximum number of points possible for the entire course are published as Graduates with Honor. • REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION A candidate for graduation must complete one of the prescribed degree courses including any penalty hours assessed for absences. In addition he must earn at least twice as many quality points as semester hours required. f THE BULLETIN BOARD I 7:00 P. 8:00 P. 3:00 P. 8:00 P. M. M. M M. 9:30 A. 1:00 A. 1:30 P. 2:00"P. M M. M.

And at the same time the scissors have been cutting up, though the paper weight is trying to hold them down, and the paste is sticking around to see the stamps get a good licking. 1 am glad to say the ink's well, though it appears to be blue, while bill is stuck on the file and the calendar is looking fresher every day after having a month off. And all the time the blotter has been lying around taking it all in. 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 Polytechnic Reporter. 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. WRONG PLACE Defendant (in a loud voice)— "Justice! Justice! I demand justice!" t Judge—"Silence! The defendant will please remember that he is in a court-room."—Team Work. "You "can't eat your cake and have it too," as the man on shipboard remarked.—Purple Cow. Judge—"Are you trying to show contempt for the court?" Prisoner—"No, I am trying to conceal it." —Georgia Yellow Jacket. CURRENT FICTION "Excuse me." "I beg your pardon." "Be sure and come to see us." "I've .had a lovely time." "I'll pay you tomorrow, sure." "I'd rather have my Ford than your big car." "I'd trust my husband anywhere." "Oh, it's no trouble anyway." "It isn't the money, it's the principle of the thing." "I just finished the last quart 1 had, old man." —Selected. 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.

GIBSON Burton's Bookstore Standard Handbook For Electrical Engineers "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. AUBURN'S MAY QUEEN-MAKING GOOD J. E.Wiatt, EE, is with General Electric, Schenectady. H. F. Newman, EE '24, is with Allis-Chalmers, Milwaukee, Wise. Nope he did not go to Hollywood. 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. W. T. Snapp, ME '24, is teaching school at Hartford, Ala. A. J. Roberts, Alabama Poly. '24, is taking the Student Engineering Course at the Lynn (Mass.) Works of the General Electric Company. 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. / • - i i . they're the latest dope We are speaking of the Corduroys being shown by BOWLING & MYERS Representing OP BIRMINGHAM _ U-J 39/VB AT IS* ST AUBURN BRANCH WATCH WATTS WINDOW A We are for Auburn always HOLLINGSWORTH & NORMAN LEADING CLOTHIERS MEN'S AND BOYS' OUTFITTERS Phone 21 Opelika Mr. A. is an ambitions young man; he knows the importance of a good appearance in business and in school.

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. Square and Compass: J . C. Gaines, Jr., Linveville; J. H. Wood, Columbia; W. H. Appleton, Collins-ville; R. A. Betts, Opelika; W. M.

Abercrombie, Tuskegee; 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. \ Hugh Whatley, Opelika; Walter A. Brown, Jr., Ozark; transfer, J. Robert Rowe, Birmingham.

With even breaks, a man of Wade's ability will put out for Alabama one of the strongest teams in its history. —The Crimson-White. 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.

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, ATTENTION 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.

The Websterian Literary Society held its weekly meeting Tuesday night. A very interesting program was given. At this meeting the publication of a society paper similar to the one gotten out by them last year, was considered. The society voted in favor of -publishing the paper monthly and elected a staff as follows: Editor.

J> r THEPLAWSMAM THE BULLDOGS HAVE CHEWED Marion - - - - - 29-0 Jacksonville - - • 33-0 Chattanooga - • • 28-0 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 SPORTS Living Up To The Family Name BATCH OLLINGER End 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. •--»--< TIGER MEAT WHO?

North Carolina and Washington and Lee are probably thankful that Wake Forest is not in the S. I. C. s (Continued 4th Column) TIGERS AND GOBBLERS IN DEADLOCK (Continued from Page 1) ball going 35 yards to Clabber Williams 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. LINE-UP AUBURN V. P. L Spinks L. E. Green Grisham L. T. Graham McFadden L. G.

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. Give 'em Hell, Rats.

U the appointments hold out, the Cadets will have a world-beating team yet. There will be a Zoological discussion held at Drake Field next Saturday afternoon. The subject will be "Which is the superior animal, the Tiger or the BuUdog?" Refreshments will be served—for a price. Birmingham-Southern started off the season by playing great football and holding Auburn to a 7-0 score. The next week Vanderbilt romped on them to the tune of 61-0. Last Saturday they tightened up and beat Millsaps 6 to 0, it being their first win in many a moon. By the law of averages this Saturday is their turn for a sound licking, and they do say that Smythe and his Fort Benning crew are great believers in law. Those believing in comparative scores will be interested to learn that Mercer is four points better than Alabama, as Mercer beat Furman 24 to 0, while Bama's margin fit safety over the Purple Hur-ly, Nutter for Bailey, de LaBarre. for Moss.

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 IN OFFING 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 start saving their dimes and make a date with somebody, themselves if necessary, in Birmingham on the 25th.

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. METHODISTS HAVE NEW STUDENT PASTOR Rev. A. B. Davidson, graduate of Birmingham-Southern College and Emory University, Atlanta, Ga., has taken up his work as Methodist Student Pastor and Instructor of Religious Education in the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Mr. Davidson succeeds Rev. Albert E. Bar-nett, who resigned to accept work with the Scarritt Bible Training School in Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Davidson held two pastorates, one in Birmingham and the other in the South Atlanta district. While at Emory he was the recipient of a number of honors including membership in the Tau Kappa Alpha Forsensic Fraternity, The Pyramid Honorary Society, president of the Andrew Sledct Literary Society, the Intercollegiate Debate Team, Student Activity Council, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, Librarian for Candler School of Theology, delegate to Student Volunteer Convention at Indianapolis. He also attained high honors in Birmingham- Southern where, among other activities he was Captain of the track team. He is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Mr. Davidson expects to join the Alabama Conference at its next meeting in Ozark in November. Mrs. Davidson was Miss La Verne Lovelady, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Lovelady of Hartselle, Ala. dence of acquaintance with good literature. 5. Because it is just what a man's mother enjoys having her son do. 6. Because it is such a good way of increasing one's self-respect. 7. Because it is such a good example to others. 8. Because it increases one's vocabulary with so little effort. 9. Because it is such a help to manhood and virtue in many ways. 10. Because it is such an infallible way of improving one's chances in the hereafter. What do you do Sunday Morning?

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. TEN GOOD REASONS Why every respectable thinking man should swear just as hard as he can: 1.

OCR Transcript | TO FOS/FER THE AUBURN SPIRIT Vol.. XXVIII AUBURN, ALABAMA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1924 No. 6 OPENING DANCES THIS WEEK END Many Visitors Here For Hop Friday and Saturday TERPSICHORE TO REIGN SUPREME 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. Wood, Cameron White. 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 ||pid development of the science, which cause is partly attribut- [its most recent successes. 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. T. B. P. Names Pledges During the last meeting of the Auburn chapter of Tau Beta Pi, eight initiates were selected as the full quota of the chapter. Tau Beta Pi is the national honorary fraternity for Engineers. The Alpha Chapter was established at Auburn in 1921. The purpose of the association as taken from the constitution is "To mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by a high grade of scholarship as undergraduates, or by their attainments as alumni; and to foster a spirit of liberal, culture in the engineering schools of America." The following is a list of the fall initiates: E. F. Williams Chem. Eng. W. J. Long C. E. A. E. Duran E. E. D. L. Garvin E. E.. Elmer Graff E. E. J. E. Payne . . . ...E. E. H. H. Knowles C. E. J. H.

All Methodist students are invited to come in and get acquainted, share the fun, and refreshments with the Leaguers. Those who have already attended League Social events will welcome this opportunity while Freshmen and others who are not familiar with them should by all means make it a point to be there. RADIO CLUB MEETS The Auburn Radio Club held its regular meeting Saturday night, October 11. The meeting was called to order by President J. M. Wilder. The hour was given to the discussion of plans whereby the membership of the club might be enlarged and the general interest and activity of the club increased. The next meeting will be held on October 18 as many students are expected to attend the L. S. U. game in Birmingham. An interest- The sororities at Auburn announce the following pledges: Kappa Delta: Charline Baugb-man, Auburn; Dorothy Taylor, Auburn; Mary Jim Delbridge, Nota-sulga; and, Catherine Hare, Auburn.

It is believed that this system will make a better and more impartial feeling among the sororities on the campus. ing program is promised and all Radio enthusiasts are cordially invited. Note "The Bulletin Board." 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- Lawrence and Grisham Star as Teams Battle 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 (Continued on Page 7) ly to the success of the convention, by their presence and by their inspiring 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. THE PLAINSMAN Published weekly by the Students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala.

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. We have noticed that some people have Opelika hair—near Auburn. Show the bulldogs that old Auburn Spirit DISTINCTIONS AND HONORS Many students this year are trying to make the honor roll in scholarship, and are, therefore, interested in the regulations of the college governing the award of honors. Students in any class whose quality points amount to 90 per cent of the maximum number possible attain highest distinction. Those whose quality points amount to 75 percent of the maximum number possible attain distinction. QUALITY POINTS Quality points are assigned to grades in accordance with the following scale: Grades 95-100, 5 quality points for each semester hour. - Grades 90-94, 4 quality points for each semester hour. Grades 80-89, 3 quality points for each semester hour. Grades 70-79, 2 quality points for each semester hour. Grades 60-69, 1 quality point for each semester hour. Quality points not to exceed 5 a semester are awarded, in accordance with a fixed scale, for attendance at Convocation. A maximum of 5 quality points a semester may be awarded for satisfactory work in literary and professional societies and in other approved organizations. GRADUATION WITH HONOR Graduation with honors is dependent upon the accumulation of quality points throughout the course. Seniors who attain 90 per cent of the maximum number of points possible for the entire course are published as Graduates with Highest Honor. Seniors who attain 75 percent of the maximum number of points possible for the entire course are published as Graduates with Honor. • REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION A candidate for graduation must complete one of the prescribed degree courses including any penalty hours assessed for absences. In addition he must earn at least twice as many quality points as semester hours required. f THE BULLETIN BOARD I 7:00 P. 8:00 P. 3:00 P. 8:00 P. M. M. M M. 9:30 A. 1:00 A. 1:30 P. 2:00"P. M M. M.

BE THERE 1 STRANGE BUT TRUE Our pencil has been making quite a number of pointed remarks about the sponge being soaked all day, and the waste basket being full. And at the same time the scissors have been cutting up, though the paper weight is trying to hold them down, and the paste is sticking around to see the stamps get a good licking. 1 am glad to say the ink's well, though it appears to be blue, while bill is stuck on the file and the calendar is looking fresher every day after having a month off. And all the time the blotter has been lying around taking it all in. 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 Polytechnic Reporter. 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. WRONG PLACE Defendant (in a loud voice)— "Justice! Justice! I demand justice!" t Judge—"Silence! The defendant will please remember that he is in a court-room."—Team Work. "You "can't eat your cake and have it too," as the man on shipboard remarked.—Purple Cow. Judge—"Are you trying to show contempt for the court?" Prisoner—"No, I am trying to conceal it." —Georgia Yellow Jacket. CURRENT FICTION "Excuse me." "I beg your pardon." "Be sure and come to see us." "I've .had a lovely time." "I'll pay you tomorrow, sure." "I'd rather have my Ford than your big car." "I'd trust my husband anywhere." "Oh, it's no trouble anyway." "It isn't the money, it's the principle of the thing." "I just finished the last quart 1 had, old man." —Selected. 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.

GIBSON Burton's Bookstore Standard Handbook For Electrical Engineers "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. AUBURN'S MAY QUEEN-MAKING GOOD J. E.Wiatt, EE, is with General Electric, Schenectady. H. F. Newman, EE '24, is with Allis-Chalmers, Milwaukee, Wise. Nope he did not go to Hollywood. 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. W. T. Snapp, ME '24, is teaching school at Hartford, Ala. A. J. Roberts, Alabama Poly. '24, is taking the Student Engineering Course at the Lynn (Mass.) Works of the General Electric Company. 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. / • - i i . they're the latest dope We are speaking of the Corduroys being shown by BOWLING & MYERS Representing OP BIRMINGHAM _ U-J 39/VB AT IS* ST AUBURN BRANCH WATCH WATTS WINDOW A We are for Auburn always HOLLINGSWORTH & NORMAN LEADING CLOTHIERS MEN'S AND BOYS' OUTFITTERS Phone 21 Opelika Mr. A. is an ambitions young man; he knows the importance of a good appearance in business and in school.

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.

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. Square and Compass: J . C. Gaines, Jr., Linveville; J. H. Wood, Columbia; W. H. Appleton, Collins-ville; R. A. Betts, Opelika; W. M.

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. \ Hugh Whatley, Opelika; Walter A. Brown, Jr., Ozark; transfer, J. Robert Rowe, Birmingham.

With even breaks, a man of Wade's ability will put out for Alabama one of the strongest teams in its history. —The Crimson-White. 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.

OIL FILTERING OUTFIT VISITS AUBURN -The Ring-Turn Phi. ' i ! 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, ATTENTION 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.

J> r THEPLAWSMAM THE BULLDOGS HAVE CHEWED Marion - - - - - 29-0 Jacksonville - - • 33-0 Chattanooga - • • 28-0 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 SPORTS Living Up To The Family Name BATCH OLLINGER End 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. •--»--< TIGER MEAT WHO?

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. LINE-UP AUBURN V. P. L Spinks L. E. Green Grisham L. T. Graham McFadden L. G.

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. Give 'em Hell, Rats.

BUCK SPINKS End. ricane was twenty points. West Point has been greatly strengthened by the addition of Wilson, the Penn State star. U the appointments hold out, the Cadets will have a world-beating team yet. There will be a Zoological discussion held at Drake Field next Saturday afternoon. The subject will be "Which is the superior animal, the Tiger or the BuUdog?" Refreshments will be served—for a price. Birmingham-Southern started off the season by playing great football and holding Auburn to a 7-0 score. The next week Vanderbilt romped on them to the tune of 61-0. Last Saturday they tightened up and beat Millsaps 6 to 0, it being their first win in many a moon. By the law of averages this Saturday is their turn for a sound licking, and they do say that Smythe and his Fort Benning crew are great believers in law. Those believing in comparative scores will be interested to learn that Mercer is four points better than Alabama, as Mercer beat Furman 24 to 0, while Bama's margin fit safety over the Purple Hur-ly, Nutter for Bailey, de LaBarre. for Moss.

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 IN OFFING 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 start saving their dimes and make a date with somebody, themselves if necessary, in Birmingham on the 25th.

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. METHODISTS HAVE NEW STUDENT PASTOR Rev. A. B. Davidson, graduate of Birmingham-Southern College and Emory University, Atlanta, Ga., has taken up his work as Methodist Student Pastor and Instructor of Religious Education in the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Mr. Davidson succeeds Rev. Albert E. Bar-nett, who resigned to accept work with the Scarritt Bible Training School in Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Davidson held two pastorates, one in Birmingham and the other in the South Atlanta district. While at Emory he was the recipient of a number of honors including membership in the Tau Kappa Alpha Forsensic Fraternity, The Pyramid Honorary Society, president of the Andrew Sledct Literary Society, the Intercollegiate Debate Team, Student Activity Council, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, Librarian for Candler School of Theology, delegate to Student Volunteer Convention at Indianapolis. He also attained high honors in Birmingham- Southern where, among other activities he was Captain of the track team. He is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Mr. Davidson expects to join the Alabama Conference at its next meeting in Ozark in November. Mrs. Davidson was Miss La Verne Lovelady, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. H.

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. TEN GOOD REASONS Why every respectable thinking man should swear just as hard as he can: 1.
