Auburn helps plan
festive land grant
centennial for '62
67 other universities
to celebrate birthday
on nation-wide basis
Auburn will join with 67 other
land-grant universities and two
national groups in celebrating the
100th year of land-grant move­ment
in 1962.
Plans for the nation-wide cen­tennial
celebration were outlined
and approved at the 73rd annual
convention of the American As­sociation
of Land-Grant Colleges
and State Universities in St. Louis
this week. In Alabama, as well as
in other states, all other educa­tional
institutions will be asked
to cooperate in the celebration.
Although not finally determin­ed,
the slogan will be ". . . liberal
and practical education . . . in
the several pursuits and profes­sions
in life . . ." or "To seek—To
teach—To serve." An art symbol
or seal will be developed to illus­trate
the slogan.
Theme and purposes of the
land-grant universities will be
emphasized under these five
areas:
(1) Leadership in developing a
pattern of quality higher educa­tion
in the state.
(2). Service in bringing re­sources
of quality education to
bear on the whole life and all
problems of the state.
(3) Continuing education of a
diverse and high order.
(4) Quality education for the
professions.
(5) International education and
service.
These points will be stressed in
hew or updated histories, analy­ses
of institutions' contributions
to the state, biographies of out­standing
graduates, brochures,
leaflets, press releases, radio
tapes, television films, speeches
and "citizen seminars."
Present plans call for a cen­tennial
convocation to be held at
the annual meeting of the Land-
Grant Association in Kansas City
in November, 1961, and for the
Association to give salutes to the
USDA and the Department of De­fense
and Health-Education-Wel-fare
at its annual meeting in
Washington, D.C. in 1962. Plans
also call for a joint observance
in Washington of the Land-Grant
and USDA centennials on May 15,
1962, the date 100 years earlier
that the U.S. Department of Agri­culture
was established.
Other activities include: "Re­cognition
Day" in the. State Legis­lature,
or on campus, for out­standing
graduates; centennial
resolutions by state legislatures,
and by alumni and student gov­erning
bodies.
"An act of Congress which re­volutionized
higher education will
be 100 years old July 2, 1962,"
says a joint statement from the
Land-Grant and centennial of­fices
in Washington. "Called the
Land-Grant Act of 1862, it put
higher education within reach of
all Americans. It did this by giv­ing
states Federal land to sell so
they could raise money to estab­lish
and endow colleges and uni­versities
for the people."
$3,200 collected
SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE is attached to the familiar object
Margaret Moore displays. Margaret was crowned "Rat Cap Queen"
Thursday night after a heated contest, part of the All-Campus
Fund Drive activities.

Towers recognized
by Auburn Senate
BY BOBBY BOETTCHER
Recognition of Towers, organi­zation
expansion and other pro­ceedings
highlighted the Auburn
Student Senate meeting Monday
night, Nov. 9. In addition to the
regular business meeting, the
group picture for the Glomerata
was taken. This was the first Sen­ate
meeting since the election of
the new freshmen senators, Boolie
Beck and Bert Hitchcock, and
both were present.
With Charlie McArthur pre­siding,
the business began with
the final approving of Towers,
independent women's organiza­tion
on the campus.
A'suggestion box was proposed
to be placed in the Union Build­ing
for the use of students, whose
ideas will be sent directly to the
Senate. A committee was appoint­ed
to work With the superintend­ent
of political affairs on possible
changes in the election laws in
f u t u r e elections. Preliminary
plans for the Auburn Conference
On International Affairs were
made, consisting of a planning
meeting between senate and fac­ulty
members.
Need for expansion of the Al­pha
Phi Omega Book Exchange
was cited. Plans being made for
relocation from under Langdon
steps were considered.
Once again the student traffic
problem was discussed, and the
need for a new traffic light was
agreed upon. The proposed light
will be located at the intersection
of Duncan Drive and Magnolia
Ave. by the Infirmary. The Build­ing
and Grounds office is being
consulted concerning this.

Rat Cap Queen chosen
as fund drive nears goal
BY KATHERINE DAVIS
Margaret Moore was crowned
Rat Cap Queen Thursday night
at. the "Burn the Bulldog" pep
rally. $268.27 in votes for Mar­garet
was contributed to the All-
Campus Fund Drive, which re­ceived
all proceeds from the con­test.
The new Rat Cap Queen is
an Alpha Gam pledge and was
nominated for the title by Alpha
Tau Omega, fraternity.
The Rat Cap Queen contest
alone was ' responsible for fund
drive contributions amounting to
$1,241.97. This sum plus the
money received from other pro­jects,
brings the ACFD total to
$3,200. Two other Rat Cap Queen
Safety day effort
aided by authorities
as holidays near
The Safety Committee is spon­soring
a Safety Day on Nov. 25th,
directly preceeding Thanksgiving
holidays. This day is set aside to
remind us to drive with caution
and obey the rules of the road.
Safety Day is receiving help
from the campus police, city po­lice,
and Squires, Sophomore
men's honorary, with support
from most state-wide newspapers.
The safety committee has spent
much time planning and coordin­ating
this day to help remind us
to drive safely. The remaining
factor to make this project a suc­cess
is student cooperation.
To help impress Auburnites
with the danger of driving on the
highways, ears leaving Auburn on
the main out-of-town routes will
be stopped and given cards as a
reminder to take extra precau­tions.
Posters are being placed in
all campus buildings advertising
Safety Day. Campus police will
petition extra care in driving as a
sound truck canvasses the area.
Millard E. Dawson, chief of
Campus Police, estimates that
there will be 10,000 automobiles
leaving or coming through Au­burn
between 12 and 2 p.m. on
next Wednesday. That m e a ns
the highways radiating from Au­burn
will be extremely congest­ed.
He asks that students be par­ticularly
careful to obey state
laws, a little less speed will save
a great many lives.
candidates who gave a big boost
to the fund drive were Gayle Cul­ver,
sponsored , by Sigma Pi,
$264.19; Gerrie Maria, sponsored
by Delta Chi, $218.47.
All of the sororities and most of
the fraternities cooperated by
making contributions to the fund
drive. Contributions for sororities
were as follows: Kappa Delta,
$101; Alpha Gamma Delta, $94;
Kappa Alpha Thcta, $88.25 (rais­ed
through the slave auction);
Delta Zeta, $87; Phi Mu, $83; Al­pha
Delta Pi, $78; Delta Delta
Delta, $77.52 plus an additional
$52 raised through the car wash;
Chi. Omega, $48; Zeta Tau Alpha,
$39; Pi Beta Phi, $36. The mem­bers
of Alpha Omicron Pi con­tributed
as individuals rather
than as a group; therefore, no
total can be given for that sor­ority.
ACFD Chairman Ray Duncan
gave the following figures for the
fraternities which participated in
the fund drive: Sigma Pi, $120;
Pi Kappa Alpha, $117; Alpha Tau
Omega, $108; Sigma Alpha Epsi-lon,
$100; Phi Delta Theta, $85;
Sigma Chi, $80.50; Kappa Sigma,
$50; Alpha Gamma Rho, $31;
Delta Upsilon, $16; Omega Tau
Sigma, $14.50; Alpha Psi, $12.65.
Lambda Chi Alpha, Delta Chi
and Sigma Nu gave through their
candidates for Rat Cap Queen
and the total amount of their do­nations
is not known. In addition
to the drive among the fraternity
members, a collection was taken
among the fraternity housemoth­ers
which amounted to $17.
Alpha Phi Omega, service frat­ernity,
gave $50 to the fund drive.
$327 was given by Magnolia Hall
as compared with its contribution
of $710 last year.
Although the All-Campus Fund
Drive is officially over, some
money is still coming in. One last
project is being held this week.
A football which has been auto­graphed
by the members of the
Auburn team has been donated
by the Athletic Association to be
raffled off at Mag Hall. The resi­dents
thus have the final oppor­tunity
to help the fund drive
reach its $3,500 goal.
EIGHT BEAUTIES will be chosen from among these 20 to grace the pages of The Glomerata.
The eight will be chosen Friday night at. the Beauty Ball. First row, left to right: Martha Young,
Carolyn, Wilson, Jill Judkins, Diane Brown. Second row, from left: Gerrie Maria, Molly Sarver,

'LOVELIEST of the PLAINS'
BY BERT HITCHCOCK
The cool days of late November
will bring not one, but two great
clashes between Alabama's state
universities this year as the Au­burn
Knights face the Alabama
Cavaliers at the Auburn ODK-Glomerata
Beauty Ball on Nov. 20
and the Auburn Tigers square up
againsti 4he., Alabama Crimson
Tide on Nov. 28. The preliminary
battle will take place Friday night
on the hardwood dance floor of
the" Auburn Student Activities
Building while the turf of Bir­mingham's
Legion Field will pro­vide
the battleground for the tra­ditional
football spectacle.
The "battle" between t he
Knights and the Cavaliers this
year will be an added highlight
to the presentation of twenty of
Auburn's loveliest coeds. Eight
Glomerata beauties will be chosen
from the following semi-finalists:
Martha Young, Opp; Carolyn Wil­son,
Columbus, Ga.; Jill Judkins,
Atlanta, Ga.; Diane Brown, Bir-
MISS GLORIA GAYDEN displays the proper attire for at­tending

up by Dean Cater for pep rally dress is most appealing indeed.
Nationally ranked
Plainsman to meet
sorry Glom team
BY MODINE GUNCH
Sportswriter Supreme
Tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m.
a shot will be heard around the
world. That shot will be nothing
less than a riled-up Clobberer
Carlisle Towery of the famed
Plainsman Panther Jets breaking
the sound and light barriers to
intercept his teammate J e an
"Zeke" Hill's kickoff, returning it
into a relatively quick Plainsman
score.
With less than one second elaps­ed
on the Plainsman Stadium
clock, All-Publications halfback
(and All-Universe comet) Car­lisle
will duplicate his feat, to
leave the score 16-0 in his devas­tating
squad's favor, still within
the first second of play. Then the
heralded Jets are expected to ta­per
off somewhat, benching the
fabulous Towery, who's made All-
Pub for three, years in succession
by just playing the first second of
each game in the above manner.
In the remaining 59 seconds of
that first minute of play tomor­row,
it's predicted that the mighty
Plainsmen with bench-emptying
scrubs on the playing field, will
only score seven more touch­downs,
five two point conversions
and two one-pointers for a mere
70r-0 lead at that point, one of the
slightest they've ever been held

The "battle of the bands" from
8 p.m.-12 midnight Friday night
promises to be quite an event.
Dance music and entertainment
will be continuous throughout the
evening. Both the Knights and
the Cavaliers are among the
"name bands" of college orches­tras.
The Cavaliers have provid­ed
the musical background for
such stars as Pat Boone and
Frankie Laine, a n d their jazz
group known as the "Dixie Eight"
has become one of the most popu­lar
parts of the band.
The Auburn Knights, with their
many new and different arrange­ments,
have played throughout
the South this year. Although
furnishing a great variety of
dance music able to please almost
any audience, the Knights center
much of their interest in modern
jazz and Dixieland. They feature
Dixieland at most of the dances,
and the band's jazz combo has
worked up a comedy routine to
add to the. enjoyment of their
audiences. This year the Knights
arrange' most of their music
around vocalist Toni Tennille. Top
musical arrangers in New York as
well as the members of the band
work up the arrangements for the
Knights.

IT'S A MIXMASTER—Batter the Bulldog and burn him. That was the chant of winning Zeta
Tau Alpha sorority during Auburn's annual Burn the Bulldog pep rally. Here, girls of ZTA, whose
bulldog in the mixmaster was judged a first-place winner, get ready to toss their bulldog on the
flames..
ZTA wins trophy
at Bulldog rally;
Queen announced
Across Biggio Flats rung a
hearty "War Eagle" to begin the
annual "Burn the Bulldog" pep
rally, last Thursday night.
Horace Brady announced that
the new Rat Cap Queen is Marga­ret
Moore, Alpha Gamma Delta,
who was sponsored by Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity.
Zeta Tau Alpha sorority won
the trophy for the most original
design of a bulldog for the rally.
The ZTA's, who also won the tro­phy
last year, were the first to
burn their bulldog in the bon­fire.
Their design was an electric
mixer "beating the bulldog." It
was accompanied by a sigh which
said: "batter the bulldogs."
Alpha Gamma Delta won first
honorable mention with t h e ir
"bulldog burger," a bulldog in a
hamburger bun, with ketchup and
mustard and an olive with a .tooth­pick
on top. Second honarabl'e
mention went to the D.elta Delta
Delta's "hot dog" and, third' was
won by Delta Zeta and their pa­rody
of the RCA Victor dogy "his
master's voice."
Flight program nears end of third year
with perfect record for ROTC trainees
"Auburn University's f l i g ht
program for advanced Air Force
and Army ROTC students nears
end of its third year with a per­fect
record," says Robert G. Pitts,
head professor of the aeronautical
engineering department and di­rector
of the School of Aviation.
Pitts continued, "Not a single
student that we have recommend­ed
for advanced training has been
eliminated for flight inaptitude."
Major objectives of the program
are:
To lead qualified cadets to a
career in the service, to encour­age
qualified basic course cadets
to enroll as pilot training appli­cants,
and to provide a screening
device which will identify those
pilot training applicants who lack
the basic aptitude for pilot train­ing.
The Air Force and Army flight
programs are basically the same.
They have separate contracts with
the' government, but all differ­ences
are minor ones. The con­tracts
are good for a year. Every
year the government gives each
branch, a quota of pilot trainees
to fill. Funds for training the ca­dets
are furnished by the govern­ment.
The planes and airport used
are owned by the institution.
"This program saves the gov­ernment
a tremendous amount of
money. We eliminate a lot of men
that would wash out after they
entered active service," explained
Maj. Edward Kitchens, director
of the educational and training
service for the Air Force.

coordinator for the flight train­ing
program added, "This is also
a big advantage to the cadets.
They know that if they pass our
program they can pass the flight
program of their respective ser­vice
branch."
Senior Flight Instructor for the
cadets and General Manager for
the School of Aviation is John
Barton, Auburn graduate class of
1955. Barton holds one of the
highest flight records that has
ever been made by a Air Force
cadet. He also excelled on the
track team at Auburn.
Seventeen students are enrolled
in Auburn's flight program. In
the Army program are: William
Ryland, Selma; David White, Do-than;

Now in its eighth year, the Au­burn
Concert Choir is composed
of forty selected students with
outstanding musical ability. The
group was started by Professor
Walter Collins of the famed "Yale
Whiffenpoofs" and has been dev­eloped
into a highly trained vocal
group. Their director is Professor
Martin Rice.
Prof. Rice says that the choir
has been "enthusiastically receiv­ed"
in concerts throughout Ala­bama
and the South." Many mem­bers
of the choir are music ma­jors
who have received vocal
training by faculty members with
profesional experience.
"Membership is open to any stu­dent
singer who meets, or can ul­timately
obtain, the high musical
standards of the Concert Choir,"
says Rice. Students interested in
joining the choir Winter Quarter
should contact him for a voice
placement audition.
The musical literature used by
the choir extends from a cappella
polyphonic masterworks of t he
sixteenth century to extensive
choral compositions of the twen­tieth
century. The latter includes
work of some outstanding Ameri­can
composers.
The Choir will be heard Dec. 3
in a performance of Christmas
music ranging from sixteenth cen­tury
Spanish and English carols
to contemporary Christmas com­positions.
This program, to be pre­sented
at 8:15 p.m. in Langdon
Hall, will feature William Berry,
baritone, and Ted Brown, tenor,
soloists in the Spanish and Eng­lish
carols.
Prof. Craig Hankerson, director
of Auburn's Opera Workshop, will
solo in "Sir Christmas," a con­temporary
carol composed by Ar­thur
Benjamin. In addition to the
Concert Choir, the Men's Glee
Club will present five numbers,
three of which will be sung in
foreign languages. Featured solo­ist
for the group is Tom White,
who is their president.

Delta Upsilon colony
approved for Auburn
I n a l e t t e r received by Alpha Delta Upsilon this week,
Dr. Ralph B. Draughon congratulated the group on having
been officially acepted as an A u b u r n colony of Delta Upsilon
f r a t e r n i t y . The action followed approval of the club by
t h e F r a t e r n i t i e s Committee and the I n t e r - F r a t e r n i t y Council.
Of the three fraternities the
IFC approved last spring to col­onize
on the Auburn campus, DU
is the first to take this step to­ward
forming a local chapter. Af­ter
the probationary period as a
colony, the same groups will pass
on whether to admit ADU as an
Auburn chapter of the national
fraternity.
Colony President Deward Sis-sion
expressed gratitude on be­half
of the members to all whose
cooperation made rapid coloniza­tion
possible. He went on to pre­dict
that with continued coopera­tion,
and work on the part of the
members, ADU may become a
chapter earlier than the custo­mary
three year period.
The University and the IFC
will; recommend a ' colony to its
headquarters as ready for in­stallation
when they feel that the
proper record has been achieved
and the success of the group
seems certain.
Prof. George Hargreaves, phar­maceutical
chemistry, is faculty
advisor for the colony. Two others
cited by the DU's as "invaluable
advisors and supporters" are Mrs.
Olive Gunnison, their house­mother,
and R. L. Brittain, man­ager
of Magnolia Dormitories.
The former president of the Au­burn
Housemothers Association
returned here to take charge of
house at 111 Mitcham Ave. Brit­tain
will be initiated with the
charter members when the chap­ter
is installed.
Since this summer, ADU has
acquired a house and furnishings,
participated in formal fall rush,
and taken an active part in var­ious
campus activities. The 15
founders have been supplement­ed
by 16 pledges who will also
be considered charter members
after initiation. Assistant Director
of Student Affairs Harold Grant
described the group's progress as
"amazing."
The colony's officers are: De-ward
Sission of Florence, presi­dent;
Fred Richmond of Orlando,
Fla., vice president; Charlie John­son
of Columbus, Ga., secretary;
Dick Russell of Rochester, N.Y.,
treasurer.
The proposed chapter will rep­resent
the oldest national frater­nity
on campus. Delta Upsilon,
sixth oldest fraternity, was found­ed
at Wililams College, Williams-town,
Mass., in 1834. The frater­nity
now has 80 chapter with 49,-
000 members.
DU is the only non-secret frat­ernity.
One of the unique results
is open initiation. Parents, usually
Patronize PLAINSMAN Advertisers ] t h e fathers of the initiates, may
attend the ceremonies.

"APPLE OF THE EYE"
For this overworked phrase,
we must turn to the world's
richest source of quotations—
the Bible. Specifically,
the Old Testament,
Deuteronomy, XXXII, 10:
"He kept him as the apple
of his eye."
i«P;
" A l l IS NOT GOID"
Seems like everybody had a crack at this piece
of homely philosophy, but the originator seems
to be Geoffrey Chaucer, in "The House of
Fame", Book I:
"Hyt is not all gold that glareth"
"COUNT 10..."
Was there any limit to the talents of Thomas
Jefferson? Statesman, scientist, architect—he also
authored this admonition:
"When angry, count ten before you speak;
if very angi /. a hundred."

are unmatched for quality as well as styling. You can

Coach Don "Lion" Loughran
commented today that his team,
just returning from many wild
experiences with women, booze,
and nightspots in Florida, is as
out-of-shape as possible. "By
playing one fourth our best under
these out-of-shape conditions (a
minimum demand of the Plains­man
Code of Ethics), we should
be able to hold tomorrow's score
down to 217-0. I hope with all
my heart that this is possible. I'm
all for more competition, you
know, in this one-sided classic. I
really think, but don't quote me
on this, "Loughran sleezily whis­pered,"
that 178-0 is enough to
beat the Glom this year. But you
know the Plainsman alumni . . .
they want big scores. Just about
anything less than 345-0 is con­sidered
a loss by their standards.
Man, we got problems!"
Naturally the Glomers were
glum at their practice sessions
held nightly at Biggio Flats
(afraid of being seen anemically
working out during the day). The
Glom dignitaries in the front of­fice
finally talked 12 staff mem­bers
into promising they'd show

Thursday t h e International
Relations Club heard Joe Sills, a
representative of the Collegiate
Council for the United Nations.
Sills, a recent Phi Beta Kappa
graduate of Vanderbilt Univer­sity
and a U.S. representative to
the Geneva delegation, spoke at
Auburn as part of his nation­wide
tour of colleges. His speech
focused on the three primary
world developments pertaining to
the United Nations, the emer­gence
of atomic energy, the
strengthening of the underdevel­oped
countries of the world, and
the increasing lack of concord
between the opposing factions in
the U.N. Security Council.
Elaborating these points, Sills
stated that in the forseeable fu­ture-
there will be five nations
capable of waging atomic warfare
(U.S., Russia, Britain, France, and
Red China), and so it has become
increasingly vital that a system of
worldwide disarmament be in­stalled
and insured through U.N.
insections. On this second point,
Mr. Sills explained the significant
and expanding part in interna­tional
affairs played by the un­derdeveloped
countries of the
world; he emphasized the exist­ing
responsibilities of the U.S.
and the U.N. to help these coun­tries.
In conclusion, Mr. Sills clar­ified
the problems of discord in
the U.N. and set forth the hopes
and aspirations of this body of
nations.
At the next meeting of the In­ternational
Relations Club, Fri­day,
Dec. 4, the speaker will be
Bill Gardinier who will present
a program on Holland.

ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER DOLLAR
Today I begin my sixth year of writing this column for the
makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro Cigarettes. For this I
get money.
Not, let me hasten to state, that payment is necessary. "Sirs,'5
I said a few days ago to the makers of Philip Morris and Marl­boro,
"if I can introduce America's college men and women to
Philip Morris and Marlboro, and thus enhance their happiness,
heighten their zest, upgrade their gusto, magnify their cheer,
and broaden their bliss, there is no need to pay me because I am
more than amply rewarded."
We wept then. I'm not ashamed to say it. WE WEPT! I
wish the wiseacres who say big business is cold and heartless
eould have been there that day. I wish they could have seen
the great, shimmering tears that splashed on the board room
table. We wept, every man jack of us. The makers wept—the
secretaries wept—I wept—my agent, Clyde Greedy, wept ^fe

f 'Oh, very well," I said, and the gloom passed like a summer
shower. We laughed and we lit Philip Morrises and Marlboros—
and some of us lit Alpines—which is a brand-new cigarette from
the makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro—a fine new cigarette
with a light touch of menthol and the rich taste of choice tobacco*
and the longest filter yet devised. And if you are one who likes
a fine new cigarette with a light touch of menthol and the rich
taste of choice tobaccos and the longest filter yet devised, yon
would do well to ask for new king-size Alpines. If, on the other
hand, you do not like menthol but do like better makin's and
a filter that does what it's built for, ask for Marlboro. Or, if yo^
don't like filters at all, but only mildness, ask for Philip Morris.
Any way you play it, you're a winner.
But I digress. "Will you," said the makers of Philip Morris,'
Marlboro and Alpine, "write about the important issues that
occupy the supple young minds of college America this year in
your column?"
"But of course," I replied, with a kindly chuckle.
"And will you," asked the makers, "from time to time say a
pleasant word about Philip Morris, Marlboro and Alpine?"
"Crazy kids!" I said with a wry grin, pushing my fist
gently against their jaws. "You know I will."
And we all shook hands—silently, firmly, manlily. And I left,
dabbing my eyes with my agent, and hurried to the nearest
typewriter. ©i9S9Musbuiiaw

pleasure in bringing you another year of this uncensored,

Who's The Joke On Next? 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nov. 18, 1959
It's over and done with for the time
being; but similar incidents will undoubt­edly
be with us for all time. Practical
jokes, a long-time nemises of mankind, are
universal, and in their usual form are no
more than harmless attempts to get a
laugh out of the serious old world. The
little fellow who cried wolf a few times too
many had a hearty laugh . . . until the
beast devoured his flock. But his was a
self-inflicted tragedy—which is within the
right of any individual. Once the practical
joke invades the realm of safety and Well-being
of others, it no longer carries the
stamp of a joke. Instead, it becomes a vic­ious
and uncivilized crime.
Incidents of this type have happened
at Auburn—one recently in which the In­firmary
ambulance was called on a hon-existant
emergency. No doubt the little
boys laughed heartily, and perhaps are still
laughing. They deserve no less than the
justice of their own misdeed: to be in need
of said ambulance while it's on a false
chase, such as could have been the case
during their big joke. But justice of this
kind is too ironic to be real. Bacchus pro­tects
the joker.
There seems to be no one, however, to
protect the innocent from the joker. The
lives and safety of the community are at
the mercy of such individuals who, at the
slightest compulsion, can upset the com­munity.
There is no place at Auburn" for these
people. They are not decent enough to ad­mit
to the community that they had, if
only for a few minutes, jeopardized its
citizens; consequently, their crime has been
to a certain extent foolproof against legal
reprimand. They have gotten away this
time to sing the praises of Bacchus and
Pan as their protectors. They have only to
fear the revelation that their great gods of
the joke are myths, vulnerable to a higher
power of justice.
Jokes and Jokers go on, like plagues of
locusts, devouring all in their path. ' The
best that can be hoped for is a spark of
human decency that limits their revels to
a more harmless nature. Is this too much
to expect of human beings? Certainly not.
Is this too much to expect of Auburn stu­dents?
It never has been; we hope it
never will.—Byrd

Studies got you down? Here are a few
stolen tips on how to stay in college
Only two or three times each year is
the Auburn student body afforded the op­portunity
to attend a "big" dance. The
first of these this year, the ODK-Glom-erata
Beauty Ball, will feature a "Battle
of the Bands," namely, the Auburn Knights
vs. the Alabama Cavaliers next Friday
night. '
Poor attendance at these functions in
the past few years has naturally been ra­ther
disappointing to the sponsors. Con­siderable
losses have been taken several
times, but have always been absorbed by
bank accounts built up over previous per­iods
by dues and other projects. It is fort­unate
that these losses have been absorbed,
but the simple economics of losing propo­sitions
may eventually call a halt.
As expenses go higher and the attend­ance
falls off the end result may be easily
predicted—an increasing reluctance on the
part of any of the service organizations to
undertake a project of this nature.
Tickets will be sold this year for the
advance price of $1.00 and at the door for
$1.25. They will.be sold on a per capita
basis as opposed to the "stag or drag" basis
of last year's dance.
This price is considerably lower than
that charged for any similar dance last
year. The lower admission charge is an
experiment to see if more students would
attend, thereby insuring that the break­even
point would be reached by increased
participation.
To continue the traditional "big" dan­ces
of the year, support will be needed.
It is our opinion that our large student
body can provide this needed support. The
verification of our belief must be provided
by the student body.—Battle
The following are listed in an
effort to suggest ways to stay in
college.
As most of us know, there are
a great many students here this
fall that are being plagued' with
deficiencies and letters from the
guidance center. Had they known
of these rules they Would probab­ly
be in a much more desirable
spot today.
These suggestions are from Ro­bert
Tyson of the Hunter College
(New York) Department of Psy­chology
and Philosophy.
1. Bring the professor newspa­per
clippings dealing with his
subject. It demonstrates feeling,
interest and gives him timely
items to mention in class. If you
can't find clpipings dealing with
his subject, bring in any clippings
at random. He thinks anything
deals with his subject.
2. Look alert, take notes eag­erly.
If. you look at your watch,
doh't stare at it unbelievingly and
. shake it.
3. Nod frequently and murmur,
"How true!" To you this seems
exaggerated; to him it's quite ob­jective.
4. Sit in front, near him. (Apples
only if you intend to stay awake).
If you're going to all the trouble
of making a good impression, you
might as well let him know who
you are, especially in a large class.
5. Laugh at his jokes. You can
tell. If he looks up from his notes
and smiles expectantly, he has a
joke.
6. Ask for outside reading. You
don't have to read it. Just ask.
7. If you must sleep, arrange to
be called at the end of the hour.
It creates an unfavorable impres­sion
if the rest of the class has
left and you sit there alone doz­ing.
8. Be sure the book you read
during the lecture looks like a
book from the course. If you do
math in psychology class and psy­chology
in math class, match
books for size and color.
9. Ask any questions you think
he can answer. Conversely, avoid
announcing that you have found
the answer to a question he could
not answer, and in your brother's
second reader at that.
10. Call attention to his writing.
Produces an exquisitely pleasant
experience connected with you. If
you know he's written a book or

A Word On Georgia's Spirit...
Eleven students from the University of
Georgia left visible evidence of theiFs'enool
spirit on the Auburn campus last: week.
The Georgians, who^We have beent as­sured—
were typically spirited, fUh-krving
college boys, came here to "pull the tail of
the turkey buzzard."^ That they did, just
as some Auburn students reportedly did at
the same thing in Athens.
School spirit is a fine thing; no one can
be prouder of their spirit than Auburn.
But even good things can be overdone, as
witness the actions of six of the invaders.
The' smaller group confined their ef­forts
to distributing-leaflets that proclaim­ed
Georgia SEC champs and predicted that
the turkey buzzards would soon become
dogfood. We got a kick out of that, even
if the kick is painful in retrospect.
But the others evidently sought to cre­ate
a more lasting record of their visit.
They painted the same sort of messages on
the President's home, the top step of the
Fieldhouse,: and the bulletin board and
walkway, at the main' gate.
Fortunately, the damage was not as
great as it might have been. The bulletin

Carefully...
Although safety while driving has im­proved
markedly this year, the Plainsman
has been prompted by the approaching
holiday season to initiate an editorial cam­paign
on the subject.
Next week, Auburnites will travel
hundreds of miles in all directions as they
return to their homes. Accident probab­ility
naturally increases with distance tra­veled
but it increases even more with
speed and recklessness.
As many thousands gather to see the
great institutions of Alabama play football
in Birmingham a week from Saturday, the
crowded conditions will contribute even
more to hazardous driving.
All these things mean that every pre­caution
must be taken.
Remember on the road: DON'T TAKE
A CHANCE, I t COULD BE YOUR LAST.

The case of the missing tea"
Who's holding the bag now?"
or
"f•$ recently attended a round of
sorority teas. I was dragged there
by two professional friends, Steve
Wilson of the Illustrated Press and
Clark Kent of the Daily Planet.
These two, being celebrities, of a
sort, were the center of attraction;
while I, B. B. of the Auburn
Plainsman, was left to my own
designs, namely to find a cup of
tea. I was ignored because none
of the ladies believed that my
name is B. B. They felt that this
nomenclature was an unfunny at­tempt
to jest. Obviously they pre­ferred
the staunch honesty and
gravity of Clark and Steve. Nor
did they suspect a jest when I
asked Clark if he preferred his
tea with one lump of Kryptonite
or two. Being left to my own de­signs,
still to discover the hiding
place of the teabags, I had the op­portunity
to study the phenomena
of sorority teas.
The sorority tea, I discovered,
is unique thing in that there is no
tea to be found. There is plenty
of coffee and hors d'oeuVres, b u t
no tea. The whole thing seems to
be a strained effort at socialized
gastronomy. The big deal is con­versation.
It i? also the reason for
not serving tea. It is difficult to
talk with a tea bag in one's mouth.
The conversation consists mostly
of questions which the girls as-ing
the dream bubble of laborless
wealth so unmercifully broken. A
road to riches for the common man
was found to be just an enterpre-neur's
highway to bigger profits.
The successful contestant was not
bleeding the big companies of
their wealth, but was an object
of charity in their schemes to
greater wealth. Some had begun
to believe in the philanthropic
pose of big business giving away
thousands. But the big spear that
was thrown at the little man was
the insult, plying the gullability
of his nature, of being played for
a sucker, being callously deceiv­ed.
The truth of Barnum's idiom
struck home to many Americans,
and hit them where it hurt the
most: in the pride of individual
superiority.
The, rags-to-riches story has
been an American favorite e v er
since Horatio Alger sung the
praises of that particular demo­cratic
potential. The big money
quiz show was this generation's
chorus to the Algerian canto, still
hopefully hummed by the forty
hours a week victims. Taxi driv­ers,
teachers, housewives, car­penters,
and the kid next door
could rise to economic heights
within a few weeks, and only on
the basis of that supreme individ­ual
possession which big business
has not been able to control:
knowledge. And here may well lie
the downfall of. the quiz show; for
the people had long been duped,
possibly by the academic and po­litical
interests of big business,
possibly by their own inaptitude
for wisdom, into believing know­ledge
more useful than wisdom.
But at any rate, no longer did the
secret of financial success lie in
shining shoes or selling newspa­pers
on Wall Street; but in ac­quiring
a store of exotic, often
useless, facts and rattling them
off, between commercials, revela­tions
of personal exotic exper­iences,
and demonstrations of na­tive
behavior, before a nationwide
audience. T h e importance of
knowledge, in the mind of J o e
Citizen, took a stride forward;
and no doubt encyclopedia sales
moved with it. Perhajpj^it wasJhe
overemphasis of knowjegge a; '
preneur's pocketbook. The people
could smile wryly at the success
of a fellow citizen over the power
of finance. The little man's capa­city
for knowledge could not be
controlled by the almighty dollar.
When these beliefs were exposed
as unfounded there was bound to
be some animosity, on the part of
a few, toward another success of
enterprise; and typically this whe­ther
or not enterprise had been
knowingly involved. That spon­sorship
of shows had profited en­terprise
was enough to create ill
will. And the value of knowledge,
too, took a nosedive. No doubt
there were a few who considered
burning those newly purchased
encyclopedias. The public may
have suffered the greatest disap­pointment
in the discovery that
the road to honest riches lies, as
it always has, in hard work and
shrewd dealing. The belief in a
pot of gold at the end of the rain­bow
necessarily depends upon the
existance of a rainbow.
sail their startled guests with.
Most of the questions seem to be
memorized from, the application
blanks "and questionnaires. A
freckled. brunette went too far.-1
distinctly recall the questions she
shot at me as part three of. the lo­cal
medical history questionnaire.
I answered patiently that I had
had every known communicable
disease and would like some tea.
She returned with a cup of wat­ered
coffee and pointed out the
similarity of it to tea, and hoped
that it would do. I asked another
for tea and she asked how I liked
the fog in London.
But the girls are amiable in
their southern way. They are al­ways
glad to see you. If either
Count Dracula or Rickey Nelson
were to attend, they would be
equally hospitable. But their hos­pitality
has a mechanistic quality.
At the fourth tea of the round,
and still tealess, our group was
welcomed in the typical manner.
The welcoming committee forgot
her speech. Having memorized it
from the three previous and iden­tical
speils, I offered to coach her
through the difficult parts. S he
insisted that she knew it and went
through several painful contor­tions
before it finally came to her.
As there were guests following
us, I offered to rewind her for the
next performance. I was sweetly
told to go soak my head in a cup
of tea. The mention of tea filled
me with hope of finding some. I
was offered a cup of something
that resembled tea, and was over­joyed.
I drank swiftly and eager­ly.
The young lady whose dress I
ruined as I spewed the weak hot
coffee across the room had good
reason to be angry. Nevertheless,
she was amiable in her southern
way and retaliated with no more
than a kick in the shin.
The sorority tea has a quality
all its own. It also has qualities
borrowed from Emily Post. But
the reason for the function is a
mystery; the formula for the cof­fee
is a mystery; and why I ever
went in the first place is a my­stery.
It must have been because

such widespread belief in the
myth of laborless wealth.
The memory of sweat shops,
forced labor, and inhumane meth­ods
that capitalism dallied with
in its adolescence still provides
hostility between big business and
common man. Or perhaps too
many Americans believe that fal­lacious
bit of communist propa­ganda
that a few capitalists pull

any case there is still too wide a
branch between the two elements
of. our environment. This breach

A significant aspect of the sit­uation
is to be seen on the poli­tical
side. In their shame and in-dignance
at being duped, the peo­ple
have called on their old re­liable
protector, the government.
There exists, now, the threaten­ing
solution of government super­vision
of the various entertain­ment
media. And the quiz shows
were nothing more than entertain­ment.
The people want to be pro­tected
against being fooled, the
politicians want to make an im­pressive
obligatory stand in favor
of the people's demands, and tele­vision
wants the right to clean its
own house. The people will find
that if their protection is to come
from the sacrifices of political
men, they must be ready to pay
the price. But their best and least
expensive protection will come
from within, from an exercising
of individual awareness and also
through a recognized set of values
about entertainment. Public law
does not necessarily improve, and
in fact often limits the extent of.
improvement through stagnatiz-ing
controls. No one make the
people, at present, buy or watch
television; and it is pathetic to
p- J hear people t complaining;, of the.
sorry state of TV" fare while re­fusing
to turn off or sell their set.
It seems to be within the power
and scope of the television indus­try
to police itself, if policing is
a good term for what they pro­pose
to do. In this way there is
still some hope that the entertain­ment
pqtential of the medium will
be more nearly realized. There
will be an incentive within the in­dustry;
whereas government con­trol
will be a weakening device,
protecting the public while at the
same time keeping their already
low entertainment tastes from ris­ing.
If the tastes should go any
lower, we would' be f o r c e d to
watch, if we chose to watch at all,
'Donald Duck, Private Eye', or
'The world's great horse operas.'
Such seems to be the values of
the masses.

A glimpse into
the Collegiate world
A Kentucky coed' recently had
the most thrilling experience of
her college life. Discovering smoke
billowing out of the back of the
campus book store, she excitedly
called the Fire Department, which
promptly sent out two fire engines
one ladder truck, a first aid' truck,
and the assistant fire chief's car.
The eighteen men who accompan­ied
the trucks discovered that the
smoke actually was coming from
a heating plant. Red-faced and
embarrased, the coed called the
station again the next day—to
apologize.
A group of Argentine students
from the University of LaPlata on
a recent visit to Texas expressed
their distress at the apathy of the
American students on political af­fairs.
They believe that too many
solutions Were "ready made" for
young people in the U. S. This
group says that Argentine students
are a strong force politically and
never will fall under the control
of a dictator. These visitors also
agree that the U. S. is bordering
on excess classification in educa­tion.

invited to play a Cuban amateur

The LSU Homecoming game
climaxed almost a week of mighty
pep rallies through rainy and' cold
weather. During One rally, Charlie
Flower, who boasted he would
score more points and gain more
yards than Billy Cahnon, was
hanged in effigy. Adding to the
"Kill Ole Miss" spirit were several
handbills depicting a dead Bengal
Tiger with a Rebel flag through
it, which had been dropped' on the
campus from a plane.
A short while ago I saw a clip­ping
from the letters-to-the-edi-tor
section from, I believe, your
paper. It consisted of two letters,
written presumably by Auburn
students, concerning the "wheel­chair
incident" at the Auburn-
Tech game in Atlanta.
Now I am a Tech fan, but I al­so
have some tied to Auburn. I
am not writing this as an indig­nant
Tech rooter, but as one who
does not enjoy the sight of ani­mosity,
be it between schools or
nations. This feeling of near-ha­tred
was in evidence in the afore­mentioned
letters. Please do not
misunderstand the purpose of. this
letter. I do not think that cripples
or others confined to wheelchairs
should be barred from any event
they Want to attend. However, the
writers of the letters to your col­umn,
and, incidentally, many "res­ponsible"
Citizens of both our
states, have shown a tremendous
lack of. willingness to understand
the situation. Auburn d o e s not
have the same problem that exists
in Atlanta in that there are many,
many wheelchair patients in the
Atlanta area who would like to
see the Tech football games. As
was explained by the officials res­ponsible
for the ruling, there sim­ply
was not space enough for such
requests to be granted.
Lest this be taken as partisan, I
hasten to add that the Tech stu­dents
should be rebuked for the
uncalled for rudeness that some
of them exhibited. A competitive
spirit is a fine thing when it is
not allowed to run rampant and
exceed the limits imposed by good
sportsmanship.
In closing, I should like to urge
all students and fans — of Au­burn,
of Tech, of Slippery Rock,
of members of any community, to
try to understand the other side's
point of view and their problem
before a condemnation is voiced.
Many sayings have been attribut­ed
to that Chinese sage, Confuc­ius.
One of these is applicable in
any situation and should be kept
in mind:
He who slings mud looses
ground.
Congratulations on your great
football team and may the new
winning streak continue—until
Tech next year.
Yours truly,

A Look at Sports . . . with Jim Phillips
In Defeat And Harassment
Team, Students Still Champs
We hear that only true men maintain full
composure under fire. It's commendable that
Auburn, team and student body, didn't join in
with Georgia to make a total punch-throwing disgrace out of
Saturday's grid classic.
We knew that Georgia people wanted this game and the SEC
football championship perhaps more than anything within reach
of their team in the past ten or more years. Maybe because
we've assumed the habit of good sportsmanship intermingled
with razorsharp spirit we expected the same of our opponents.
Last week we learned that our minds don't meet with those of
Bulldogland natives on such a concept.
Friday night on the ancient UG campus, quite a few hospi­table
invitations to join in fisticuffs were extended the visitors
by victory-over-anxious Bulldog fans. Fortunately, few Au­burn
folk let the gander go so high as to accept. Som,e invita-tations
were a little more strongly worded than others, you
know . . . like bludgeoning out a fellow's windshield and side
windows because Auburn decals stuck proudly to them.
In Myers Hall, the school's main coed dwelling place, several
girls poked heads out of windows and screamed, "To hell with
you Auburn people," as Tiger backers walked toward the stadium
just prior to game time.
Another ticket to our blazing future fluttered atop the girls'
dorm behind Sanford Stadium's north stands Saturday. In
picturesque red and black "Go to hell, Auburn!" was inscribed
on a huge piece of white oilcloth. Georgia supporters in the
south stands across the way viewed it proudly. "Look up there,
will ya," a Bulldog frat man pointed to his sidekick after enter­ing
the stadium. "I've never seen so darn much spirit around
here, have you? Auburn brags about their great spirit, but
they can't equal us today," answered the sidekick.
We'll probably never again witness such organized cheers
as we heatd throughout the third and fourth periods. "Go to
hell, War damn Eagle, go to hell!" thundered the south stands
in perfect rhythm, led by Bulldog cheerleaders. And we can't
imagine another recurrence on anyone's part of the jibes and
insults like some of those hurled around by the winner's fandom
following Georgia's great victory.
The fired-up Bulldogs weren't any better sports than their
backers. Ahead 7-6 late in the game, Georgia experienced a
supreme disappointment when the hard-charging left side of
Auburn's line mauled Charley Britt into punter Bobby Walden
and the sailin'g football. It bounced down to the Georgia two
yard stripe where Tiger end Joe Leichtnam dived on the leather.
Could the 'Dogs take this bit of evident defeat? Ask Leichtnam,
who got a fist out of the deal!
In the midst of all this chaos, Auburn salvaged a lot Sat­urday,
perhaps more than Georgia accomplished in snapping
the Tiger win monopoly of this classical series at six. To be
blunt, hopeful Auburn, then defeated Auburn were men all
the way. The confident contenders, later conqueror Georgians,
well . . . maybe we'd best forget.
Objective-minded Al Thorny wrote in Sunday's Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, "The mighty Plainsmen of Auburn, who
have long won as champions and gentlemen, were gentlemen
and champions in defeat here Saturday afternoon."
"They offered no complaints, no sour grapes, only respect
and admiration for their conquerors, the Bulldogs of Georgia."
Thorny summed up our side of it in those two paragraphs. Can
winning really be more important than this? Our university
has much pride to take in its fighting team's sportsmanlike

Plainsman Sports Writer
A strong, determined Uni­versity
of Alabama freshman
team downed Coach Erskine
Russell's Baby Tiger eleven by
a score of 9-0, Monday after­noon
in Cliff Hare Stadium. A
crowd of around 5,000 Auburn
fans had little to cheer "about
as the big Bama line throttled
the Tiger offense to only four
first downs during the battle.
The first quarter of action
was a see-saw affair with Au­burn's
Carson Southard getting
off several booming punts.
Southard kept the Tigers out of
trouble with his "Joe Dolan
type" kicks of 50 and 46 yards.
Bama finally got a drive going
in the second quarter. The
T i d e ' s sensational halfback,
Terry Clark, climaxed the 60
yard drive with a 14 yard
scoring dash off right tackle.
The half ended with Bama out
in front 6-0 and Auburn with
only one first "down to its credit.
In the third period the Au­burn
fans became excited as the
Tigers finally seemed to be'..
driving. They drove from their
14 to their 41 behind the pow­erful
runing of Jimmy Burson,
and Bill Burgess. At this point
a Mailon Kent fumble was re­covered,
by Bama and the Tid-ers
were on their way. Bama's
speedy Gary Martin carried 30
yards to Auburn's 11 but then
the rugged Tiger forward wall
would yield no more. Great1
Auburn defensive play forced
Alabama's Martin to kick a
field goal from the Tiger 11.
Martin's kick put Bama ahead
9-0 and thus ended the scoring
for the day. Tiger quarterback
Mailon 'Kent, who operated
smoothly all afternoon, com­pleted

1947, and came back to win the
third game 20-14 in 1948.
Currently ranked number two
in small college competition,
the Southerners may be ex­pected
to put up a real battle
against the heavy-hearted Ti­gers.
Thus far this season
Southern has posted a 6-2 re­cord,
holding a major victory
over North Carolina State and
losing a close o n e (7-3) to
Texas A&M. Other victories in­clude
wins over Trinity (29-8),
S.E. Louisiana (26-6), West
Texas State (37-6), Abilene
Christian (30-10), and Chat­tanooga
(14-6). Powerful Mem­phis
State upset Southern 6-21
to hand the Mississippi team
their second defeat.
Don Fuell, Southern's number
one quarterback, will not see
action in Saturday's contest.
This ex-Auburn asset will miss
the game because of an agree­ment
made in the pre-season
contract.
Captain Hugh Mclnnis, 6-3,
220, is one of the best flankmen
in the history of football at
MSC, and definitely is one of
the outstanding ends in the
South. He is a two year letter-man,
was an All-American full­back
in prep days and is one of
MSC's best bets for Little All-

1958 season but both of them
went for TD's (total of 104
yards). Also in '58 he kicked a
field goal in the last minute of
the game to beat Memphis State
25-22.
Guard and tackle spots are
the main sources of inexper­ience.
At tackles, Bradfute
(220) and Underwood (215)
have been doing an outstanding
job as have Jones (208) and
Rinehart (210) at guards.
At center, Charley Ellzey, 6-3
225 pound senior, has been one
of the stalwarts in the Southern
line. This letterman is having
his best year at MSC and is an­other
possible candidate for
Little Ail-American honors.
Besides Fuell, MSC has two
other fine QB's. Sophomores
Morris Meador a n d Johnny
Brechtel, a pair of six-footers,
lead the team in an array of roll
out passes, inside and outside
belly plays, and fullback off
tackle slants. Quarterbacking is
one of the stronger points on
the Southern team.
Charley McArthur, starting
RH, is a capable performer and
is one of Southern's leading
rushers. He has a 5.2 rushing
average for two seasons and is
adding to it this year. McArthur
also excells on defense. Left-halfback
Tommy Morrow has
'deceptive speed and likes to get
in there and knock. He had a
1958 punting average of 36.7.
MSC boasts one of the small­est
fullbacks in the nation in
Buddy Supple. Supple is a 5-9,
170 pounder who hails from
Hope Hull, Alabama. Auburn
scouts are high on Supple and
consider him one of Southern's
biggest threats.
Scalping big teams is MSC's
specialty. In 1957 N.C. State was
caught asleep by the Southern­ers,
in '57 Florida State fell
20-0, in '56 the U. of Alabama
barely escaped with a 13-13 tie,
in '55 FSU fell, in '54 Alabama
was embarrassed 7-2, and in
1953 Georgia was mopped up
14-0 as was Alabama, for the
first of three occasions, 25-19.

Seemingly mortified referees,
after much deliberation, raised

Auburn's one point loss at Athens
By JIMMIE DYAL
Plainsman Sports W r i t er
Ed Dyas once more aided the Tigers in the points de­partment
and because of his versatile talent was again
selected Plainsman player of the week.
With eight minutes remaining in t h e first quarter, Au­b
u r n was faced w i t h a tough decision. The b a l l was resting
on Georgia's 33 y a r d line with a fourth down situation.
Should the Tigers go for t h e y a r d a g e or punt?—or b e t t er
still attempt a field goal? The l a t t e r was decided upon
and proved to be advantageous.
With Pettus holding the leather,
Ed Dyas kicked a booming 43
yard field goal, splitting the
uprights with deadly precision.

Wesley-Mac's Tots
Wesley closed out its Inde­pendent
League season last
week with a rousing 21-0 win
over Mac's Tots. With this finale
the Wesleyans won the loop ti­tle,
scorers of 66 points and un-scored
upon.
All three Wesley touchdowns
were engineered by the air arm
of Logue. Lambert was on the
receiving end twice for 25 and
30 yard heaves terminating at
paydirt. John Burdeshaw gath­ered
in an eight-yarder for a
TD, and Plainsman sportswrit-er
Joe Beasley, turning athlete,
claimed an extra point. Lambert
forced a Mac's Tots safety to
end it at 21-0.
LCA-PDT
The Lambda Chi's added one
to their success list last week
when they lanced the Phi Delts
12-0. John Holt, LCA, quarter­back,
loosened his arm in the
first quarter by hitting end Er­nie
Bradner with a 25-yarid TD
chunk. Again in the third quar­ter
Holt contacted an open team
mate far downfield. This time
it was to Bill Holland for an un-needed
six, covering 70 yards.
Y2-P2
A bit of Georgia luck in the
form of a bad snap from cen­ter
gave Y2 a victory over P2
in last week's game, 8-6. In­side
their own five yard line,
P2 called for a free kick. The
snap was bad, and the pigskin
died in the end zone for two
Y2 points. Later Y2 quarterback
Jerry Watson hit Jimmy Cox
on the second of two passes for
the winning touchdown.
TC-PKP
The passing attack of TC
quarterback Jim Crawford int-terwoven
around a pass inter­ception
by teammate R o n a ld
Burgess gave TC a 12-0 nod
over PKP last week. Chuck
Hoffman took a Crawford pass
'• on for's'ix points, and later Bur­gess
intercepted a PKP pass 15
yards out and raced to paydirt
for another six.

Auburn has one in fullback Ed
Dyas. Ed was the Tigers' lead­ing
ground gainer last week
with 11 carries for 56 yards. In
another heartbreaker with Ten­nessee,
he lead in the ground
gaining department, crunching
out 69.
On defense Ed plays the line­backer
position and is noted for
his bulldozing tackles. He is
also a constant threat offen­sively.
If one key block had
been thrown in last Saturday's
game, his seventeen yard second
quarter carry would have gone
all the way.

1953 TIGER CAPTAIN—now Auburn coach—Vince Dooley
(25) gallops around Mississippi's end. This game, won by Au­burn
and Vince's QB leadership, 13-0, is acknowledged as the one
which sent Auburn off to seven years (and how many more?)
of great football!
Captaincy in ' 5 3 proves
Vince Dooley's greatest!
By VINCE DOOLEY
My greatest t h r i l l in s p o r t s isn't a g r e a t play or a tough
game or a winning season. It's an election—the election
when my Auburn t e am mates chose me to be t h e i r captain.
I n 1952, my junior year, I only played one game d u e to
a knee injury. The next spring I missed all of s p r i n g t r a i n ­ing
because of an operation to
correct that knee. Still, the team
showed they had real confi­dence
in me by electing me

performance, and those students who didn't make the Athens
junket should pat those on the back who went over and upheld
the good name of Auburn. Believe this . . . it wasn't easy!
Occasional Defeat Inevitable?
Of Course!
We can't afford to sweat last Saturday too much. Remem­ber
the great Georgia Tech and Tennessee teams of t he Fifties
and those other Tech and Vol squads which lost regularly this
decade? Look at the Yankees, LSU, and Oklahoma. As little
as many of us would like to think now, sport would lose most
of its incomparable lustre if one team were totally invincible
from season to season. Over a sustained period of seven years
Auburn's footballers probably trail only Oklahoma with the
nation's greatest success chart among major colleges and uni­versities.
The worst Tiger seasons in this era have' read 7-3
in 1954 and '56. Let's beat Mississippi Southern and tough Ala­bama,
then go home for the Christmas holidays with a fine 8-2
slate compiled by a great team1.

We went on that year, 1953,
to post a 7-2-1 record and went

best season Auburn had come
Up with in over 20 years, and
it marked the beginning of the
comeback of Auburn football.
Playing on a team like that was
a wonderful experience, and
being elected its captain was
the greatest thrill in my sports
career.

really proud to have had a part
in molding a national cham­pionship
football team.
NOTES: Vincent J o s e ph
(Vince) Dooley was one of the
greatest of all Auburn quarter­backs.
Starting in 1950 and
graduating in 1954, he helped
bring Auburn football up from
nearly nothing to high national
prominence.
After the end of the 1953 sea­son,
Vince was selected the most
valuable player in the Gator
Bowl game and played in the
Senior Bowl contest in Mobile.
He also quarterbacked the col­lege
All-Stars against the De­troit
Lions in the All-Star game
in Chicago.
Vince served two years in the
Marine Corps after his gradua­tion
and came back to Auburn
as assistant backfield coach in
1956.
At 27, Vince is the second
youngest member of the coach­ing
staff. He was born in Mo­bile,
and is still single.—Bul-lington.

at the end of the game when
Georgia was driving to a
score?"
"Plenty of reason for that,"
a well-known field house staff
man replied. "Shug didn't think
he could improve the situation
by bringing in the first team
on defense. They could have
been plenty tired you know.
They went a long way in the
fourth period and had seen
plenty of action in the third.
The second squad looked good
on defense, perhaps better than
our first. So you can't blame
Jordan for that. I guarantee
you he knew what he was do­ing
or he wouldn't have done
it."
Coaches' chatter began to
concern efforts of individuals.
It Was generally agreed that
LE Leo Sexton, recipient of the
only Auburn pass completion—
a seven-yarder, played a fine
football game. Young Dave Ed­wards
was praised to the skies
for his manly showing. "He was
the best defensive end on the
field," said Coach Hal Herring,
Tiger defense expert.:
With the score 13-7, Auburn,
gritty Dave mauled his way
through to slap down- Bulldog
quarterback Tarkentoh for an
eight yard loss on third down
with our opponents driving just
before we got the leather and
fumbled it away. On fourth
Edwards made a desperation
lunge from behind Tarkenton,
caught him around the ankles
and again pulled the 'Dog star
down. That play, showed the
flicker, was labelled TD until
Dave erupted from nowhere!
Ken Rice played another fine

plenty of tackles, but few of
the determined performers on
either squad played the football
Haywood Warrick turned in at
Athens. With Georgia doing
plenty of up-the-middle trap­ping,
big s e n i o r Haywood
fought off blockers continually
to snag elusive Bulldogs for one
or two yard pickups. It was
Haywood Who rushed Butt so
hard near game's end that he
knocked the Georgia quarter­back
into a punted ball's path,
leading to Auburn's only touch­down.
His show was so great
that it left every coach moan­ing
about how hard it'll be to
replace this guy when he grad­uates.
Center Wayne Frazier had his
best day. His second quarter
pass interception led indirectly
to the second Dyas' field goal.
"When he hits 'em, they know
they're hit,'' said publicist.Norm
Carlson Sunday. "He's just like
a truck," Norm added. Coach
Hal Herring agreed, calling Sat­urday
Wayne's best, defen­sively.
Sophomore guard Jerry Gul-ledge
looked tough. F i l ms
showed Jerry all over the field
making tough stops. Coaches
agreed that since September
Jerry ahd Dave Edwards, have
come further than any other
sophomores.
Adept T i g e r quarterbacks
Bobby Hunt and Bryant Har­vard
were being pointed for
without any doubt. Both had
little opportunity to star.
Jimmy ' Pettus, back in the
lineup after conquering the flu,
had a marvelous day.
Coaches called him the best
defensive back on the field and
such was certainly well-deser­ved.
Pettus knocked down 'Dog
aerials all day and made bone-crushing
tackles whenever he
had the chance. Jimmy's over­all:
post^-game rating by the
coaches Was the best any Tiger
back had copped all year. He
7—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Nov. 18, 1959
was well over 2.5 of a possible
3.0 in every category.
Johnny McGeever had a fine
day running. He reeled off 33
yards in three trips and shone
on defense.
Ed Dyas seems to get tougher
every game. Bulldog defenses
were set for Ed; still the blist­ering
junior travelled 56 yards
in 11 carries. Except for a det­ermined
Georgia effort in the
second period. Ed's 17 yard gal­lop
could have ended in pay-dirt.
Bulldog end Jimmy Vick-ers
was knocked flat on the
ground by Pettus, but still got
up and :caught Dyas from be­hind.
Ed's 43 and 40 yard field
goals were the longest on r e ­cord
here. Ed was his usual
murderous self on defense.
Punter Joe Dolan was at top
shape Saturday. Joe booted
seven times for a 43 yard aver­age
(including one 16 yard punt
figured from a 36 yard kick into
the end zone.)
So no one cried. Compliments
were paid where compliments
were due. But we saw one over­whelming
mental attitude pre­sent
in the projection room^—
tear Southern limb from limb
this weekend.
