(By Elmer G. Salter)
Led by Captain Bob Jones and
Clarence Thomas on the offense, and
Foggy Woodruff on the defense, Josh
Cody's Purple Tigers from Clemson,
with three straight defeats dangling
from their belts, outplayed the Au­burn
Tiger cagesters during the
second half of their game in the
Plains Friday night, and left for At­lanta
with their first Southern Con­ference
win of the season. The score
was 39-31. Clemson will meet Geor­gia
Tech at the Flats tonight.
Capt. Louie James and his mates
got off to an early lead, at one time
leading, 12-5, when Capt. Jones of
Clemson called time-out. Clemson
started a rally after their two-minute
rest and caught up with the Bengals.
The teams left the floor at inter­mission
with the score deadlocked, 18-
all.
Josh Cody gave his quintet a "foot­ball
comback speech" during the rest
period as they immediately started
ringing goals with clock-like regulari­ty
with the beginning of the second
half. They got off to a six-point
lead before the Plainsmen had added
to their total at the half, and finally
mounted their lead to eight points
which they never relinquished during
the final period.
Clarence Thomas, speedy forward
for the winners, led the individual
scorers with 16 counters. He was
closely pushed for scoring honors by
his captain, Bob Jones, who looped
the hoops for 12 points.
Ralph Jordan and Frock Pate tied
for high scoring honors for the
Orange and Blue five, with ten
marks each. Both did most of their
scoring in the first half. Capt. Louie
James and Jack Stewart were the
other luminaries for Auburn, but did
most of their brilliant playing in the
first period. Stewart was very adept
in getting the tip-off from center.

NOTICE FRESHMEN
All freshmen who did not meet the
Vigilance committee either on Thurs­day
or Saturday afternoon at the
Gym are advised to see one of the
members of the committee at once.
—Vigilance Committee.
In an address before the district
conference meeting of the Lions In­ternational
held Wednesday evening
in the basement of the Baptist church
of Auburn, Dr. L. H. Pammel, Pro­fessor
of Botany at Iowa State Col­lege,
and ex-chairman of Iowa State
Board of Conservation, proposed
"A State Park Project for Alabama."
Dr. Pammel described the systems
of state parks in Iowa, and stated
that interest in the state park system
is continually increasing. He stated
that it was important for Alabama
to preserve certain forested areas in
a park system because of (1) their
historical importance; (2) their rec­reational
advantages, and (3) from
a standpoint of their scientific value.
Melvin Jones, secretary-general
of the Lions International, was the
guest of honor at the meeting, and
addressed those present on the sub­ject
"Lionism," in which he brought
outi the ideals which the Lions stand
for. He discussed also the past
year's work of the various clubs over
the country. Mr. Jones has been
connected with the Lions Interna­tional
since its beginning in 1917,
when he was instrumental in bring­ing
together a group of clubs out of
which the present organization grew.
He has seen the association grow
from a few clubs with a few hundred
members to an organization covering
the United States and Canada, with
nearly 2000 clubs and approximately
75,000 members.
Addressing extension workers of
Alabama in their annual winter meet­ing
here Thursday, President Brad­ford
Knapp told them that the future
will bring a reduction in the number
of farms in Alabama, and the nation.
He requested them to guide the
change with a view to steady im­provement
of the agricultural situ­ation.
With a knowledge of the past to
guide him, Dr. Knapp predicted fur­ther
decline in the percentage of
American people engaged in farming.
To off-set this the speaker said that
farms will be organized into larger
units, employing more power and ma­chinery
so that the area covered or
the amount of work done per worker
will be larger.
In offering suggestions to the ex­tension
workers as to how to guide
the change and direct it to a more
prosperous agriculture, he said that
the first goal should be to increase
the size of unit of operation per man.
To make this feasible he recommend­ed
more improved machinery on
farms.
He declared that more machinery
is an urgent need in Alabama, where
only eight per cent of all farmers
use more power than one horse per
man, whereas 75 per cent of Texas
farmers use two or more horses per
man.
Dr. Knapp expressed no economic
hope for the farmer operating along
general lines with 10 to 40 acres. He
said that the acreage per man on
such farms is too little for efficient
operation and living returns.
In conjunction with enlarged units
and better operation he reiterated
his endorsement of farm organization
and cooperation on a big scale. He
proposed the question: "What can we
do with an unorganized agriculture
in an organized world?"
He advised condemnation of con­tention
and elimination of individual­ism
among farmers.
The speaker named thrift, econo­my,
and the proper use of all re­sources
as factors necessary to perm­anent
improvement of the farm situ­ation.
He made an earnest appeal
for producing products of a high
quality, declaring that farmers can't
succeed with low-grade cotton and
other products which sell for the low­est
prices.
Dean M. J. Funchess of the college
of agriculture followed President
Knapp with an explanation of Ala­bama's
research program in agricul­ture.
He told of the work outlined
for the five sub-stations and ten ex­perimental
fields in conjunction with
the Experiment Station at Auburn.
Prexy Given Scroll of Names of War Heroes
A scroll bearing the names of Au­burn
men, who died in military ser­vice
during the World War has been
placed in the ante-room of the presi­dent's
offices. It was made shortly
after the Armistice in 1918, by Wil­liam
Spratling, at that tim& an
Auburn student. There are twenty-nine
names on the scroll; a complete
list of the men is as follows:
Winston P. Anderson, Birming­ham,
Alabama. Class of 1913; en­tered
service May, 1927. First
lieutenant Infantry. While leading
a relief to a post he lots his way in a
network of trenches on a dark,
stormy night. As he was returning
alone, he was mistaken for an ene­my
and fired upon in the dark.
F. H. Beaufort, Mobile, Alabama,
class of 1910. First lieutenant British
Royal Air Service. Killed in battle.
W. G. Bevill, Greensboro, Ala­bama,
class of 1917. Private in the
Infantry. Died in hospital at Camp
Pike.
J. E. Bumby, Bessemer, Alabama,
class of 1916. Seamen. Died at sea.
S. C. Carter, Roanoke, Alabama,
class of 1915. Entered service in
1917. Second lieutenant Medical Re­serve
Corps. Died in camp.
R. W. Chapman, Montgomery, Ala­bama,
class of 1911. Lieutenant in
the Artillery. Thrown from a horse
during a maneuver on the Mexican
border.
A. H. Cowart, Troy Alabama, class
of 1911. Lieutenant in aviation. He
was killed May 31, 1918, while fly­ing
from Saumur to Tours, where he
was to have his machine repaired.
He was making the journey at night
and when he encountered a bad cross
wind, he could not pick a suitable
landing and fell, breaking his neck.
He was buried with full military hon­ors
at Tours, June 2, 1918.
Neil Ford, Hamilton, Alabama,
class of 1920. Private Infantry. He
was killed by a piece of shell at the
battle of Chateau Thierry, July 26,
1918. He was a member of the 167th
Infantry of the Rainbow Division.
Buried at Courpoil, ten miles north
of Chateau Thierry where he fell.

Governor Graves Tells
Of Lead Taken by State
In Service To the Public
Makes Address At Banquet Of
Extension Workers Fri­day
Night
In public health service, in radio,
and in extension work in agricul­ture
and home economics Governor
Bibb Graves told extension workers
of Alabama here Friday night that
Alabama is traveling faster than any
other state. He spoke at a banquet
which ended the winter meeting of
extension workers.
The Governor said that the State
appropriation for education during
the present quadrennium is three and
one-fourth times that which the State
spent four years ago.
His address was an earnest appeal
to his audience to look forward and
conduct their work to make those
whom they serve happier and more
prosperous. He lamented the low
standing of Alabama in an agricul­tural
way, declaring that natural
conditions in the State warrant a
much better showing. During the
week extension workers with the Ex­periment
Station staff had made
plans for pushing forward with an
effective program of agricultural and
farm home improvement work.
In addition to being an earnest
appeal to move forward, Governor
Graves' address was backed by his
impressive seriousness and his com­plete
sympathy with and interest in
all people, especially those who are
struggling for a better opportunity
in life.
Service to industry as well as agri­culture
was included in the address
of Governor Graves. By lifting the
income of the masses he declared that
e,very business in the State will be
helped.
Other speakers at the banquet
were Dr. A. F. Harman, state super­intendent
of education; President
Bradford Knapp and T. D. Samford,
of Opelika. Director L. N. Duncan
presided. In his talk Dr. Knapp urged
a progressive program and type of
service pictured by Governor Graves.
Colonel Samford declared that he
had rather hold the position of coun­ty
agent than to be in any public of­fice
in Alabama.
Noted Auburn Quarter
Marries In Hospital
"Tick" Tickenor Weds After Speedy
Recovery From Breakdown
Reynolds "Tick" Tichenor, famous
Auburn quarterback and now a well-known
gridiron official in the South­ern
conference, was married Oct. 12,
in the Athens general hospital to Miss
Ruth Babb, of Atlanta.
Tichenor was taken to the Athens
hospital following a breakdown dur­ing
the Georgia-Furman game Oct.
5, in which he officiated. He has re­covered
steadily.
Mrs. Tichenor was visiting in Mis­sissippi
with her mother, Mrs. James
E. Babb, when news was received of
Tichenor's illness and she went at
once to Athens, remaining at his bed­side.
They decided to be married
and the ceremony was performed in
the hospital by Dr. E. L. Hill, pastor
of the Athens First Presbyterian
church.
Dr. Hill was a student at the Uni­versity
of Alabama while Tichenor
was at Auburn. He was the first
person to visit the Southern confer­ence
official at the hospital, calling
on Tichenor within an hour after the
finish of the Georgia-Furman game.
The only persons to witness the
marriage ceremony were John Welch,
of Athens, and Tichenor's aunt, Mrs.
Maud Reynolds McLure, mother of
Tom McLure, captain of Auburn's
championship football team of 1908.

Seven-Unit Plan of
Ala. Rural Service
Is Explained Friday
Heads Of Six Service Depart­ments
Explain Their Work
To Delegates
A seven-unit plan of rural service
in Alabama was unfolded here Fri­day
at the closing session of the an­nual
conference of extension workers.
Heads of six other service depart­ments
of the State came to Auburn
to explain to extension workers dur­ing
the day the work of their respec­tive
departments with the result that
they were coordinated more closely
for mutual assistance and for maxi­mum
efficiency of all.
Teachers of vocational agriculture
and home economics were represented
by Dr. J. B. Hobby of the State De­partment
of Education. Commissioner
S. P. Storrs told of the work of the
State Department of Agriculture and
industries; and Dr. Stuart Graves,
head of the State Department of
Health, spoke on this service; Miss
Virginia Lee Bennett spoke on child
welfare work in the absence of Mrs.
A. M. Tunstall; and Commissioner I.
T. Quinn spoke for the Department of
Conservation. Earlier in the week
Colonel Page S. Dunker, state for­ester,
delivered a message on fores­try
and the cooperation of the state
commission on forestry with the oth­er
departments of the State.
Following these Dr. Bradford
Knapp explained the work of the
Federal Farm Board. He said that
Alabama will work with and support
this board in all its work.
A policy of the service departments
of Alabama is to work in harmony
with the other departments in order
that public money invested in each
of these services may produce the
maximum returns to those who in­vest
the money. Coordination and
cooperation- combined and practical
operation have had much to do with
Alabama's success in becoming a na­tional
standard in agricultural organ­ization
and extension, public health,
conservation, child welfare, forestry
and agriculture.
Each line of service rendered by
the State Department of Agriculture
was explained by Commissioner
Storrs. Much of it is in cooperation
with Auburn.
Dr. Graves told the extension
workers that 52 of the 67 counties
of Alabama now have public health
units, the minimum of which is a
county health officer, a nurse, and a
secretary. While Alabama's health
service ranks at the top, Dr. Graves
said that the annual expenditures fgr
public health in Alabama amount to
only 20 cents per person.
Commissioner Quinn stressed the
economic side of fish, fowl, and game
in Alabama. He estimated that the
food value of fish and game taken

Obtained From Old Chem-
' istry Laboratory
That the building materials from
the recently demolished freshman
chemistry laboratory will be used in
the construction of a shooting gal­lery
to be used by the military de­partment,
was announced by S. W.
Garrett, business manager of the
college, yesterday; the structure will
be built near the military barns.
Mr. Garrett also stated that the
freshman laboratory in the new chem­istry
building will be ready for use
at the beginning of the second se­mester.
The office building of the
chemistry department will be demol­ished
soon.
The chemistry laboratory which
has been used by freshmen for sev­eral
years was erected as a canteen
for the military department during
the war. The students were members
of the S. A. T. C, a branch of the
army, at that time. After the war,
the building was equipped to be used
as a laboratory for freshmen and had
been in use until it was torn down a
short time ago.
Memory of Dr. Miller
Honored By Ala. A.C.S.
Resblutions Drawn By Chemi­cal
Society Received By
President Knapp
Dr. Knapp has recently received
a copy of resolutions adopted by the
Alabama section of the American
Chemical Society in memory of Dr.
Emerson R. Miller, former member
of the chemistry faculty, who died
last fall.
In a letter to President Knapp,
Professor John R. Sampey, head of
the chemistry department at Howard
College, stated that he had been as­sociated
with Dr. Miller for several
years in the Alabama Academy of
Science and the American Chemical
Society. Professor Sampey said also
that Dr. Miller was "admired for the
quality of his scientific achievements
and respected for the quiet dignity
of his personality."
The adopted resolutions are as fol­lows:
- "i
"Whereas: It has pleased Al­mighty
God in His Wisdom, to call
from his earthly associates, Emerson
R. Miller, for three years a loyal and
faithful advocate of every good
work; therefore be it
"Resolved that the Alabama Sec­tion
of the American Society .extend
to his devoted family and to the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute its sin­cere
sympathy, be it further
"Resolved that this resolution be
made a part of the permanent record
of the proceedings of this Society,
and that a transcript thereof be pre­sented
to the bereaved family and to
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute."

Hot Springs "New Era" Writes of Dr. Ross
With a caption, "Prominent Visit­ors
From Alabama Here," the follow­ing
newspaper story appeared in the
Hot Springs, Arkansas, New Era
Daily concerning Dr. and Mrs. B. B.
Ross, who are now resident there for
a short convalescence period for the
Dean of Chemistry, who was taken
ill here several weeks ago:
"Two widely known Alabamians—
Dr. and Mrs. Bennett Battle Ross, of
Auburn, are in Hot Springs, guests at
the Majestic Hotel. Dr. Ross is the
state chemist for Alabama and since
1893 has been Dean of Science for
one of the South's leading education­al
institutions—Alabama Polytechnic
Institute.
Mrs. Ross is an ardent worker in
the United Daughters of the Confed­eracy,
having served that organiza­tion
as first vice-president general
and as Alabama state president. She
is also a former president of the
Alabama Federation of Women's
clubs.
Dr. Ross is rated as one of the
foremost chemists of the country. He
first graduated from the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, then studied at
the University of Berlin, and Goet-tinger
University, leading German
educational centers.
Alabama has just erected a $350,-
000 structure at the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute as a tribute to Dr.
Ross, to be known as the Bennett
Battle Ross chemistry building.
After spending arduous months in
collaboration with other chemists in
revising Dr. Harvey Washington
Wiley's chemistry, Dr. Ross selected
Hot Springs as the best place on the
North American continent to get
complete rest and restore his ener­gy.
This is his fourth visit to Hot
Springs.
Incidentally the eminent chemist
declared that the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute was flourishing and
making wonderful progress under the
leadership of a former Arkansas edu­cator
as president — Dr. Bradford
Knapp, who for a number of years
was Dean of Agriculture at the Ar­kansas
University and in charge of
the state agricultural experimental
station."
When Al Katz and His Kittens
make melody for the mid-term dances
January 23, it will be amid all the
glamour of a Broadway night club,
for the decorations for the "Junior
prom" are to be modernistic to the
"nth degree." Those in charge of
the decorations are Mallory Collins,
Sam Pope, and H. H. Hillman.
The barren gymnasium is to be
transformed into futuristic palace,
sparkling with life and gaiety—the
sublime expression of jazz. Sus­pended
in the center will be a crystal
ball, flashing and reflecting with
multicoloured lights. The sides are
to be bordered by a colour-spangled
band of impressionistic art. The or­chestra
pit will be directly across
from the balcony, back-grounded by
a mural scene of the instruments
most expressive of jazz. Never be­fore
has the theme of the decorations
been more expressive of the true
spirit of the dances—possessing un­usual
novelty and originality. Varied-coloured
soft lights will be used to
enhance the whole scene into a pano­rama
of beauty.
Bid cards have been collected, and
some two hundred girls are expected,
representing the cream of Southern
beauty. Final plans are being com­pleted
for banquets, houseparties and
other entertainments to be given by
various organizations of the campus.
The coming dances bid not only to be
the outstanding social event of the
year, but also the pinnacle of Au­burn's
festal history. Enthusiasm is
running high, and the air is full of
dance talk. Al Katz and His Kittens
will arrive Thursday afternoon to
blow the lid off that night, striking
the first chord for the great event
that is almost here.
Woman's Club Active
At Beginning Of Year
Many Departments Of Club Enter­tained
By Various Members
The only department of the Wom­an's
Club of Auburn to meet during
the Christmas holidays was the Edu­cation
Group. Mrs. W. D. Salmon
was hostess to its members on Dec.
19. A program, suggested by na­tional
headquarters, was also adopted
and will go into effect with the next
meeting, which will be held at the
home of Mrs. P. O. Davis, on Thurs­day
of next week. Visitors are cor­dially
invited to hear a talk on
"Individual Differences in Mental
Ability and the Importance of In­telligence
in Achievement." The
meeting will be led by Mrs. Judd.
The Home Economics Department
opened the new year with a meeting
on January 2, with Mrs. J. T. Wil­liamson,
and Mrs. S. W. Garrett,
acting as hostesses. A discussion of
"motions" wlas in charge of MTS.
Martin Beck. The Art Department

paper by Mrs. W. A. Ruffin
on a comparison of the Renaissance
artists. Mrs. Charles Hixon was
hostess.
Those who were present when Mrs.
Eaton and Mrs. Tidmore entertained
the Music Department on January 8
were most enthusiastic over the pro­gram.
It included a life of Edward
Grieg given by Mrs. Austin, and se­lections
from Grieg played by Mr.
Harkin and Mr. Kinaid.
On Thursday, January 9, the reg­ular
business meeting of the entire
club was held at Smith Hall and
was followed by a reception in honor
of the new members.

Basketball Season
Under Discussion
Last night the basketball season began
officially for Auburn. The previous games
were more or less "warming up" games
for the regular campaign, which will close
with a grand climax for the best teams
within the conference in the tournament
held later on in Atlanta.
The record to date has not been overly
impressive judging from the comparative
scores, but that has not prevented the old
gossip from circulating with amazing
speed. Some few students feel that the
team is going to make a fair showing this
season, but too many are already lamenting
the fact that this season's team is far be­low
the average. It is depressing to hear
such talk as this before the season has
hardly gotten under way, as one is incap­able
of predicting correctly. We know
that it would be much better to give the
basketeers the benefit of the doubt until
the end of the season when their record
will speak for itself, no performance on
their part being necessary.
During the football season many dis­gruntled
supporters were discovered here
and elsewhere, but as a whole the student
body was solidly behind the players. This
was very fine, too, as the season proved
none too successful for Auburn. This
support was given partly for the love and
loyalty to Auburn, and partly out of re­spect
for the players even if they are de­feated.
Adverse criticism must not be
handed to them under any circumstances,
and until the end of the season they can
be counted on to make a creditable show­ing
in victory or defeat and to be giving
their best for Auburn.
Rats Overstep
Their Liberty
The senior class was rudely shaken from
the belief Thursday morning that this
year's freshman class was more docile than
any of its predecessors, when it saw the
beauty of the 30 adorning the town water
tank marred by 33's placed there during
the night by some mischievous and thought­less
rats.
The hazing this year has been well nigh
neglible, due to the. fact that it is fast
passing from the stage and the members of
the youngest class have, as a rule, acted
in a very orderly manner. The upper-classmen
have been willing to overlook
many small misdemeanors by the rodents,
but the painting of the tank is the worst
thing possible for them to do. The Vigi­lance
Committee, annoyingly inactive up to
now, has finally aroused itself from its
dormant state of mind, to mete out swift
punishment to avenge one of the most
revered customs in the institution.
We are pleased to see such a course fol­lowed
by the Committee, but emphatically
suggest that this fine start of activities
be continued by enforcing some of the rat
rules, chief among which are the wearing
of the caps and entering the main gate.
Then there are menial tasks that can easily
be performed by the erring freshmen, such
as putting up the bleachers on the baseball
field.
To the freshmen we say that they know
now that the Old Guard, though it was
fast losing its influence, has been revived
by their own folly. They will be sub­jected
to a stricter discipline in the future
and will in all probability have the price
of painting the tank taken from their class
treasury. We feel that the Vigilance Com­mittee
will be, since the campus-wide in­spection
was held, inclined to cast aside its
kittenish methods and settle down to strict
disciplinary action in the future.
Farmwork Convention
Holding Sway In Auburn
The conclusion of this week will bring
to a successful close the annual mid-winter
conference of the Extension Service Agents
of Alabama. Their tasks have not been
easy ones, and we realize more and more
as time passes the good that this unit has
rendered to the residents of Alabama
through its extension teaching, correspond­ence
study, lecture service, and providing
of programs for various study and civic
clubs. We recognize in the Extension
Service a well-knit organization that is
carrying out the instructional advantages
and opportunities of the college in a most
satisfactory manner. Many times the
pleasing results of work done by this Ex­tension
Service has come under the public
eye, and we can only commend such steady
and untiring efforts as have been put
forth for the good of this state and its resi­dents.
The exchange of ideas and the addresses
of prominent speakers and specialists from
Washington seem to suggest an incentive
for the elaboration of the coming yearly
program of the Extension Service. We pre­dict
a successful and eventful year for the
organization and its workers.
Extension Fraternity
Installed In Auburn
One of the highlights of the annual mid­winter
conference of the extension workers
of Alabama which is being held here this
week was the organization of an Auburn
chapter of Epsilon Sigma Phi, national ex­tension
fraternity. One of the peculiar
facts of the installation of the chapter
here is the fact that the man in charge of
the installation, Dr. Isaac Hill, is a native
Alabamian, was formerly state superintend­ent
of education and is now national di­rector
of 4-H club work.
The organization of a chapter here of
this national extension fraternity further
increases the potential value which Auburn
has with respect to the extension work over
the state. A great deal of good is being
done by these extension workers and any
organization which helps them in their
work an enables them to be of more ser­vice
to the state at large is to be welcomed
openly. This fraternity forms another link
in the chain which binds these extension
workers together, providing another me­dium
through which they may exchange
ideas, and greatly improves in this manner
their quality of work. We congratulate
Dr. Hill and others responsible for the or­ganization
of the local chapter of Epsilon
Sigma Phi and wish it success in all its
undertakings. The principles upon which
the national organization is founded are
basically sound and through it much good
can be accomplished.
GOOD THOUGHT FOR THE
NEW YEAR
The "accident" record was a large blot
on the record of 1929, and yet it is possible
for this blot on the pages of 1930 to be
materially diminished—if the public will
accept the responsibility that rests upon it,
solely. The suggestion comes from The
Manufacturer and Industrial News Bureau
that if the accident record is to be lowered,
America must learn to think in terms of
accident prevention. In the home, in in­dustry
and in the automobile the majority
of accidents occur not only because some
one fails to automatically do the right thing
in an emergency.
It is a noteworthy fact that the great de­crease
made in recent years in the indus­trial
accident record has been the result of
an attitude of mind that makes safety an
essential, integral part of any industrial
operation. Executives think in terms of
safety, exactly as they think in terms of
profits or production.
In many of the schools of the Nation
children, through the medium of grapTiic,
interesting lessons, with an appeal to the
imagination, are being taught accident pre­vention.
They are shown that safety should
be a major factor in any act. As a result,
a coming generation will have a subcon­scious,
automatic grasp of the accident
problem that will save countless lives in
future years. The work has already borne
fine fruit in that the death and injury rate
among children in schools, where safety is
part of the curricula, is constantly de­creasing.
Adult Americans can all take a lesson
in safety from the schools where their
children are being educated and from the
great employing industries. It is said that
no one has a sound grasp of a foreign
language until he can think in it; in
it; in exactly the same way no one grasps
the accident problem until safety is a
constant factor in his mental processes.

All through y o ur
life you are going to
come to times when
you have to be tested.
As a rule we never
appreciate how much
progress we h a ve
made by the routine
work of our position
until we come to a
time whqh decisions
have to be made. Examinations and the
final test of what the student has accom­plished
during this semester will soon be
upon us. It would be a good thing if you
did a little thinking for yourself about
what you have done. Can you sit down
and analyze each subject in your course of
study? Could you summarize in your own
language the work you have done in each
subject? I think such a diagram or out­line
would be valuable for you. The ca­pacity
to remember and refresh your
minds on the subject is important and the
diagram or outline will help you in that
direction. I do not believe in depending
upon a rush system of trying to commit
everything to memory for examinations at
the last minute in an endeavor to be able
to pass an examination. Such a process is
not good education. The process of keep­ing
your work up through the whole se­mester
will count more than anything else.

Did you note Mr. Spang's cartoon in
last Monday's Advertiser? Maybe you'd
like to turn back and give it the once over
yet.
The old boys will continue to offer their
assistance in the matter of selecting next
season's football coach. Of course they
are anxious to know who he will be. But
do you suppose there is an individual any­where
who is as anxious to settle the mat­ter
successfully as Auburn's executive?
And who is more capable?
Right at this time we are beginning to
worry a bit about the fast- approaching
exams. It will be worth your while to
turn back and read "Prexy's Paragraphs"

in those lines.

His thoughts were hot and near insane.
A girl had broken his fondest dreams;

He stumbled onward down the path;
Every thought brought on more wrath;
From thoughts of violence he could not part;
The boy had murder in his heart.
A short time back he walked on air,
The birds singing everywhere.
The skies were blue; the sun was bright,
But now he dwelt in darkest night.
A girl, a woman, was the cause of it all;
She was the cause of this boy's fall,
For she'd plunged his heart in deepest woe
By breaking the string on his new yo-yo.

Inn Tribune can afford to speak with
absolute frankness through the columns

from other sources estimated at from $50,-

manner of putting things the explanation
of that big yearly honorarium? At any
rate here's how Mr. Quillen deals with a
suggestion that his town invest $250 in a
survey to acquaint the outside world with
its many advantages as a place to settle and
do business: "The business men of Foun­tain
Inn have been asked to pay $250 for
a survey of a town, the object being to dis­cover
what advantages and inducements
this place has to offer a Northern cotton
mill that wishes to come South. If they
pay it, they are suckers. No mill would
consider coming here. There are no trans­portation
facilities; there is no water; taxes
are high. There is no reason on earth why
a mill owner should locate here. And if
any mill owner should contemplate such an
absurdity, he would send an agent to buy
a site without disclosing his purpose and
thus avoid paying $800 an acre for $85
land."

EXTENSION THE STUFF
The extension service is having plenty
of meetings everywhere. One is just over
here, while up at N. C. State another fine
convention was held.
Three things which he declared were vital
to the success of the "live at home" cam­paign
in North Carolina were discussed by
Dr. E. C. Brooks, president of State col­lege,
at the opening conference of the
agricultural extension workers of State
college.
The college head said "adjusting pro­duction
of crops and livestock to farm and
home needs, working out local markets and
marketing methods to handle surplus food
and feed products, and a unified program
of farm development in a county so that
both farm and home agents and commercial
and business organizations might all join
in," were necessary to the campaign.
Dr. Brooks told the workers that indi­vidual
farm and farm homes are showing
improvement and are not in distress, and
that groups of farmers are profiting from
co-operative buying and selling. New
market outlets have been provided, he de­clared.
THE JOKE
The biggest joke seen in the American
colleges today is the system of education
as it is dished out to the prospective citi­zens
of the country. It is too bad that the
ingenuity of a very inventive citizenry can
not cope with that question as well as it
does with other things that are brought
to their attention. Possible it is because
it has not become necessary, but at the
present rate it should not be long at that.
But for the time being the system must be
tolerated with that hope that some man
can come along who will be able to revolu­tionize
it into something else.

THERE SEEM to be two paramount
things of general interest on the
campus at present—examinations
and the dances. Note that examinations
come first and then the dances. There is
enough moralizing about the examinations
and more advice than one more gullible
than a college student can accept. Moral­izing
is not needed about the dances, as
they are a pleasure rather than a duty,
but a few things in this respect might be
brought to the attention of some few.
I made an "A" Club dance just before
the holidays and observed a number of
sighs from the fickle sex as they were re­lieved
from some of their partners. I ob­served
a number of the boys with a death
hold on a dainty morsel and chauffering it
as if it were a plow or some other inani­mate
thing. Now although our modern
girl is conceded to be of the athletic type
she is not like old Dobin that you have
been hauling out of the barn. Neither are
some of the postures some of you good fel­lows
put her in becoming to her dignity
or lady-like composure. She resents being-bumped
against numerous couples much
more than old Dobin resents being bumped
against the barn or what have you; then,
it is not in harmony with the Auburn
Gentleman that we often boast of. By a
little bit of observation you will readily ob­serve
that some few are as much out of
place on the dance floor as a hog is in
the parlor, but should not be tolerated any
more than a situation of that asinine na­ture.
Also, by a little bit of observation
and retrospection many will readily realize
in just what capacity they are objection­able
and deviating from a desired pro­cedure.
If they are in accordance with
the Auburn Gentleman their reaction will
be a desire to correct the undesirable.
Unfortunately the girls do not have
handle-bars by which to be guided. Strain
your imagination a little and try to do as
well in guiding them as you would if they
had a handle. Also, the girl has to conform
to your particuliar style of dancing. Real­ize
that this is a courtesy and not always
her pleasure. A great number are just
learning to dance. Those that are, bear
this in mind while dancing. Observe oth­ers
and at least attempt to approximate
some desirable form and dance. By giving
these things the proper amount of consid­eration
you will make a much better im­pression
and thus have much more food to
feed your false vanities.
In other words bear in mind that these
girls are the guests of Auburn and entitled
to the very best. Their personal attributes
justify all of the personal considerations
that the Auburn Gentleman can give at
his best.
* * * * *
AT COLLEGE many of us get in con­troversy
with our religion. We ask
more why questions than at any
other time. We delve into the logic and
reason of things more thoroughly and
strive for a broader understanding of those
things that govern our lives. Unfortunate­ly
a shallow delving into religion will dis­close
some contradictions to o.ther things
we have learned to believe and thus fa­cilitate
doubt; take away some concrete
beliefs and make it extremely hard to have
the proper faith. Dissatisfaction will fol­low.
If any who by chance might read this
column and be in that state let me sug­gest
that you at some time read Walter
Lippmann's book: "Preface To Morals."
This book is written for those who no long­er
can believe in the religion of their
fathers, but who are not defiant, indiffer­ent,
or proud because of their seemingly
freedom, and are at a loss as to how to
find a criterion which will give some point
to the business of living. It will also, be
of paramount interest to those of you who
wish to understand the basis of your dis­satisfaction.
You will find questions like
these answered: In what can man be­lieve,
when they are no longer able to be­lieve
in the religion of their fathers. On
what principle can they organize their
lives? What meaning can they give to
virtue? What is the nature of modern
morality? When we find that we can no
longer believe seriously and deeply that
we are governed from heaven, there is
anarchy in our souls until by conscious
effort we can find ways of governing our­selves.
Often this is sub-conscious but
should receive more analytical considera­tion.
THISTLEDOWN
This might have been a place for sleep,
But, as from that small hollow there
Hosts of bright thistledown begin
Their dazzling journey through the air,
An idle man can only stare.

TIGER QUINTET
WINNERS THREE
PRACTICE TILTS
~ - \
(By Dick Jones)
Having won three victories already
this season in practice games, the Au­burn
Tiger quintet will enter their
initial Southern Conference scrap
with the Clemson Tigers at Auburn
Friday night in a determined mood.
The three teams that have been met
and conquered by Coach Hal Lee's
asketeers this season are LaGrange
i . M. C. A., the Lanette Five, and
the strong Hubbard Hardware com­pany
Five from Columbus, Georgia.
The last mentioned of these three
gave the Plainsmen more trouble than
they could handle fdi- a while.
The game between the Hubbard
Company and Coach Lee's hustlers
was played Tuesday night in the Au­burn
Alumni gymn. The Auburn
Five started off the scoring in the
first forty-five seconds of the game
when "Frock" Pate tossed the ball
to "Lefty" Jordan and "Lefty" in his
easy going manner, dropped the big
round ball through the iron hoop.
Immediately after the ball was tossed
up in center again Jordan was fouled
by one of the Hubbard men and made
his foul shot register another point
for the Tigers. This made the score
stand 3 for Auburn and 0 for Hub­bard.
The Hubbard team opened up the
fire works after Auburn scored the
first 3 points and began looping goals
from every angle, with B. Massey and
M. Clardy starting off the works.
These hustling Hardware boys ran up
a total of 15 points against Auburn
before the Tigers were able to make
another score.
Toward the latter part of the first
half the lights began to grow bright
for Auburn, to see another victory
tucked down in their dope bucket, for
the Stewart, Jordan and Pate com­bination
were swinging into a fast
working trio and brought the score
up to 18 to 17 in Auburn's favor,
before the half ended. "Little Papa"
Lumpkin relieved Pate just before
Jordan Leads Tiger
Quintet To Victory
(By Tad McCallum)
Auburn's Tiger quintet, led by the
deadly shooting of "Lefty" Jordan,
handed the Lanett Athletic club a 54
to 30 drubbing in the local gym Sat­urday
night. The flashy sophomore
forward looped a total of 20 points
in addition to playing an excellent
floor game.
The Tigers flashed a smooth pass­ing
attack in the first half and had
little trouble in running up a com­manding
lead, leaving the floor at the
intermission on the long end of a 31
to 17 score. The guarding was closer
in the second half with both teams
fouling frequently but the Auburn
team with several reserves in the
line-up continued to hit the netting
with regularity until the end_ of the
game.
The Auburn quintet, composed
chiefly of sophomores, promises to
develop into a formidable outfit with
a little more experience. Jordan and
Captain James were the outstanding
performers in Saturday night's tilt
while Bozeman and Lewis starred for
Lanett aggregation.
Line-ups:
Auburn (54)—Jordan (20) and
Pate (6), forwards; Stewart (8),
center; James (2) and Lawson (2),
guards. Substitutions: Lumpkin (6),
Aldridge, Anderson (5), Rogers, Hat­field
and Vines.
Lanett (30)—Bozeman (13) and
Brewster, forwards; Lewis (10), cen­ter;
Sorrell (4) and Jay, guards.
the first half ended and made several
beautiful shots through the basket
that caused thrilling excitement
among the fans and students.
When the last half rolled around
Auburn only lost the lead once, but
after Coach Lee made a couple of
substitutions the Tigers soon cap­tured
their lead back again and end­ed
the game going strong. The final
score was Auburn 36 and Hubbard
31.
Elmer G. Salter, of A. P. I., ref-ereed
while Coach Hutsell and Coach
Floyd were the time-keeper and score
keeper respectively.

GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE
By PERCY VAL
CHARITY GAME SUCCESS
Seven terrors from the mighty
Tennessee eleven proved too much
for the Cardinals of the South, and
the Northern division of the confer­ence
was victorious over the South in
the all-Conference tilt held in At­lanta.
The game was brilliantly
played, and the first all-conference
game was declared a huge success
by the large holiday gathering.
Tennessee had all of the key men of
her wonderful passing system with
which to confront the enemy with,
and combined with superior co-ordi­nation,
the Northern warriors tri­umphed
21-12.
The game opened with Dodd kick­ing
off over the South's goal line.
After two attempts at the line, Mizell
punted 29 yards, the ball being
grounded by Tom Jones. The usual
punting duel ensued with Dodd hav­ing
the advantage over his opponent.
Later on in the first period Dodd pas­sed
to him team-mate, Buddy Hack-man,
for 41 yards and a touchdown.
The highly efficient Tennessee quart­erback,
Dodd, kicked goal for the
extra point. In the same period the
North scored another touchdown,
when Hackman hit tackle, and re­ceiving
excellent support from his in­terference,
raced 44 yards across the
goal line.
New faces were seen in both line­ups
as the second half opened, and
also some brilliant plays took place
during the third period, but neither
side was able to score. However, ex­cellent
work by Bethea, early in the
fourth period, placed the ball in
scoring distance and Dunlap managed
to score the first touchdown for the
South. Quickly following this score,
Dodd heaved one of his accurately
aimed passes to Hackman who raced
30 yards for the third touchdown. Be­fore
the game ended the Cardinals
were able to score again by a succes­sion
of passes. This ended the scor­ing
for both sides and the game end­ed
shortly afterwards.
Although Hackman was the star
of the game, having gained nearly 22
yards on each attempt and a total of
183 yards, yet too much praise can­not
be extended to Tennessee's super
quarterback. Dodd not only passed
with an accuracy that was astounding
but also did some wonderful kicking,
and at all times was running his plays
with masterful precision.
Red Bethea, captain elect of the
Florida team, was the outstanding
performer of the Southern squad. He
was second to Hackman in yardage
gained, and played an excellent game.
Ike Armstrong, diminutive running
mate of Billy Banker, was also a
scintillating performer in the Cardi­nal
backfield, as he made some nifty
gains and made excellent retcrns of
punts.
Both lines were indomitable, and
hard charging and blocking featured
the game. Our own captain-elect,
Red Harkins, did some noble work for
the Cardinals, and was highly praised.
Steele of Florida, as well as men from
the Georgia team, played a wonderful
game.
The game was a huge success from
all view points, and a large crowd was
in attendance. Not only were the
Shriner's hospital materially aided,
but also the players of the confer­ence
were brought in a closer rela­tionship
and much good was derived
from the game. Dixie fans are hop­ing
that this will be an annual affair.
WATCHES PRESENTED
TO CHARITY PLAYERS
U.S.C. DOWNS PITTSBURG
Out on the West coast, where men
seem to be men, the Pittsburgh
Panthers were decisively trounced by
the University of Southern Californ­ia.
The Rose Bowl calssic turned out
to be a rout for the Trojans as they
were defeated by a score of 47-14.
Beginning with the initial touch­down,
which came only a few minutes
after 70,000: persons had filled the
stadium, the Trojans found scoring
possible in four of their seven tallies
because of unerring aerial work. A
long pass indirectly accounted for a
fifth touchdown and the others were
the result of plunging, driving foot­ball.
Toby Uansa, one of Pittsburgh
all-American selections, opened the
conflict with a dazzling 68 yard end
run, but was tackled 18 yards short
of the goal line by Russell Saunders,
U. S. C. safety man. Then, when
the Panthers failed to crack the
Trojan line for the necessary yard­age,
the touchdown parade of the
Coast team began. Saunder's pass to
Harry Edelson caught the Pitt sec­ondary
defense flat-footed and the
Trojan half-back scored.
Before the first quarter ended,
Saunder's repeated, this time placing
a long pass within the reach of the
racing Ernie Pinckert, and the U. S.
C. scored again.
Satisfied with their aerial thrusts,
the Trojans reverted to straight foot­ball
with Duffield skirting end for a
touchdown. Again, before the half
ended, Duffield passed to Mortensen,
and a touchdown followed.
Trailing 26 to 0, as they went into
the second half, the Panthers muster­ed
a rally, going to the air for a pair
of touchdowns. These scores were
made in the third and fourth periods.
Alabama Basketeers
Loom As Strongest in
South in Initial Tilts
As a'Veward for their faithful play,
which was hard and interesting, forty-nine
players, making up both the
northern and southern division teams
of the southern conference in the
All-Star game, were presented with
gold watches after the tilt. Souve­nirs
were also given the players.
Coaches and assistants were also
awarded gifts for their work in mak­ing
the game a success. Major Bob
Neyland, of Tennessee, and Gus
Tebell, of North Carolina State,
coached the northern team, which
won, 21 to 12, while Baker, the Vols'
trainer, also assisted, as did Parker,
Duke trainer.
Charles Bachman and James Van
Fleet coached the southern team and
Harry Mehre, of Georgia, assisted.
Twenty-four Report
For Freshman Five
(By Harry Barnes)
Twenty-seven men reported to
Coach "Bull" McFaden last Tuesday
as candidates for the Tiger Frosh
basketball team. This number includ­ed
thirteen members of the yearling
football team, and also several prom­ising
prep school stars. Members of
the football team reporting were:
G. C. Jenkins, C. E. Molpus, D. T.
Jones, R. C. Arthur, T. G. Shakelford,
Tom Brown, C. L. Senn, C. G. Child-ers,
T. J. Jones, T. D. Neal, Jimmie
Hitchcock, Sam Mason and W. C.
Wood. Others reporting were: W. G.
Ingram, W. H. Goodson, H. Black-man,
J. J. Armstrong, R. D. Bain, J.
P. Motley, A. H. Kirby, A. L. Pilgrim,
F. W. Barnes, I. Steinberg, C. Milner,
K. B. Hall and R. A. Thornton. Sev­eral
of these men showed promise in
the Inter-fraternity tournament held
early last month.
As the first practice consisted only
of dribbling, shooting, passing, and
calisthenics, Coach McFaden is un­decided
so far as to who the first
string quintet will be. The squad will
probably be enlarged in the next two
or three days as many students are
yet to return to school after spend­ing
the Chirstmas holidays at home.
Light workouts will continue to be
held until next week when scrim­mages
will begin. As the schedule of
games has not been announced yet, it
is unknown when the first contest will
be held or who will be the first to
clash with the baby Tigers.
The end of the first week of play
in the 1930 Southern conference bas­ketball
campaign found Alabama's
Crimson ball hawks topping the field
with two victories. Kentucky and
Tennessee, with one triumph each,
also had perfect records.
However, only seven conference
teams competed last week, the ma­jority
waiting until the second week
to start their offensives.
Led by Walton Laney, who scored
13 points, Alabama captured the first
of its two-game series with Tulane
at Tuscaloosa Friday night, 34 to 16,
and then walloped the Green Wave
cagers again last night 24 to 15.
Both Kentucky and Tennessee
scored their wins at the expense of
the Clemson Bengals. Kentucky
turned back the South Carolinians in
Lexington Friday, 31 to 15, and Ten­nessee
put the skids under them Sat­urday
in Knoxville, 35-26. Bobby
Dodd, the gridiron ace, led the Vol­unteer
attack.
Georgia lost to Furman in a close
game New Year's night, 24-22, but
showed a reversal of form later in
the week to give Oglethorpe two de­cisive
lacings, 39 to 27 and 44 to 10.
The Louisiana State Tigers dropped
two games to Louisiana college in
Pinevflle, 53 to 41 and 55 to 15, and
Alabama Poly beat the Lanett Ath­letic
Club in Auburn, 54 to 30. Van-derbilt
lost to the Middle Tennessee
Teachers, 45 to 31.
Twenty-eight games, 10 between
conference teams, are carded for this
week.

ONLY ONE CAPTAIN OF
PLAINSMEN NOT SENIOR
Only one captain of an athletic
team at Auburn for the.1929-30 term
is not a senior. Ernest Bell, junior,
captain of Coach Wilbur HutselPs
Orange and Blue thinly-clad artists,
is the only leader that will not re­ceive
his sheepskin next May.
The captains who will receive di­plomas
with the class of 1930 are:
Howell "Shorty" Long, one of the
most versatile football players ever
to wear the Orange and Blue mole­skins;
Carmon Teague, track; Louie
James, brother of the famous twins,
Ebb and Fob; and Jim Crawford, one
of the leading outfielders in the
Southern Conference.
AUBURN QUINT
TAKES ON STIFF
TEAMS IN MENU
(By R. T. Wasson)
The Auburn Cagesters go into this
season with one of the hardest sched­ules
slated that has faced an Auburn
quintette in many a year. The drib­blers
from the Plains take on eleven
of the hardest teams in the Southern
Conference. Of the eleven teams
scheduled for the ball bouncers they
meet but one team on two occasions
and that is the hard fighting Tech
five.
The Auburn backers have - had a
chance to see Auburn's "Five Kings,"
take the strong Lanette team and
the hard fighting five from Hubbard
Hardware at Columbus to a good
trouncing. Although t he r e al
strength of the team cannot be
judged by their playing against these
opponents as they were working on a
new form of attack in these games.
After having a chance to t ry this at­tack
in these games the Plainsmen
cagesters should have this form of
play to a perfection and should deal
woe in plenty to the two teams slated
to fill out the week-end.
The "Five from the Plains" take
on Clemson and South Carolina for
their opening games in the Southern
Conference and with these two hard
teams to open the season with more
can be determined as to the results
of the forthcoming basketball season.
At the present the Alabama five are
leading the Conference, but after
this week end it is hoped Auburn will
be up among the top members and

Or take this other use of the classified

"Cockeyed World" Real
Surprisingly Fine Talkie
"Believe it or not," as Ripley
would say, but there is a well defined
notion in our minds that Raoul Walsh
has surpassed, directorially and in
many other ways, his former world­wide
success, "What Price Glory,"
with his current production, "The
Cock Eyed World." In fact, the lat­ter,
which runs at the Tiger Theatre,
might well be called an all-talking
classic of the 'Devil Dogs' in so-called
peace times.
There are many contributing reas­ons
for this prediction: for with the
advent of talking pictures, there is a
marked breadth of technical advance
in picture production as demonstrat­ed
by the results achieved by Walsh.
Nor will anyone deny that both
Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen
have climbed many steps up the lad­der
of cinema fame since their form­er
effort by reason of commendable
portrayals in other important Fox
pictures. But in none have they ap­peared
to better advantage than in
this epic of the Marines.
And Walsh having mastered the
technique of sound pictures makes
this another important factor which
we must consider. "The Cock Eyed
World," adapted from a story by
Laurence Stallings and Maxwell An­derson,
is a child of Walsh's brain,
so to speak, for he not only directed
but wrote the scenario.
"What Price Glory" was a stage
play originally. When it was released
we reviewers acclaimed it as even more
powerful than the stage play, for a
picture production allows more lati­tude
in the matter of settings, in the
number of people who may be used,
and all else.
Now the screen speaks through the
wonders of Fox Movietone and "The
Cock Eyed World" gives you the
spoken word. You won't have to
guess what Victor McLaglen and Ed­mund
Lowe are saying to each other
in their continual fights. You hear
it, and are delighted continuously.
If "The Cock Eyed World" is not
the top picture of 1929, then a whole
lot of us alleged experts are cocked
eyed in our judgments.
Lily Damita, co-featured with Mc­Laglen
and Lowe, is one of the best
treats in the world for anybody's
eyes. She proves that her training
in European opera was well worth
while when she sings "Elenita," with
a delightful sweetness.
Bobby Burns sings the theme song,
"So Dear To Me," and gives an all
round thorough performance. And
speaking of sons, we believe that "So
Long," sung by the Marines aboard
a warship will soon be their "offi­cial"
marching song. /
Other members of the cast whose
portrayals are outstanding are Jean
Bary, as the Coney Island girl; Lelia
Karnelly as the fiery Russian; El
Brendel as the "Swede" Marine; and
Joe Brown as the "wop" Marine.

Rainbow Theatre Installs
R.C.A. Sound Equipment
D. E. Ponder, of the Rainbow
Theatre, Opelika, has just finished in-stalling
his new R. C. A. Photophone
sound equipment. The first picture
will be shown on his new equipment
today.
Mr. Hughes of the Radio Corpora­tion
of America has been in Opelika
for the past few days to supervise the
installation of the equipment. "The
Rainbow Theatre," said Mr. Hughes,
"now has the only sound equpiment
of its kind in the state of Alabama.
This equipment is the latest and most
modern type for sound reproduction.
The R. C. A. Photophone was de­signed
by Westinghouse and General
Electric engineers. It is perfected to
such a degree that it gives faithful
reproduction of both voices and
music. Voices and music are filtered
and thereby made plainer. Local
people who look to the theatre for
entertainment will find the highest
type here."
Harrison Watson, local engineer
and contractor, who installed the
equipment says, "It is one of the best
engineered pieces of electrical equip­ment
I have ever installed."
Mr. Ponder says "With my ne
equipment installed, I am ready ^
give East Alabama people the very
best entertainment. I am going to
put on an excellent program of talk­ing
pictures, showing the very latest
and best releases."
O'r' especial interest to the public is
Mr. Ponder's announcement that
there will be no increase in the price
of admission. "I will show the best
pictures," he said, "at the same
prices, ten and twenty-five cents."
