Saturday battle
with Crimson Tide
could mean crown
Tiger win, Tech loss
would settle SEC race
BY BUDDY DAVIDSON
Auburn and Georgia Tech
will battle down to the wire
for the conference crown as
both teams must face upset
minded foes away from home.
The Crimson Tide will fur­nish
the opposition for Joel
Eaves "Shuffling" Tigers in
Montgomery's spacious Coli­seum
Saturday night.
With only one game remain­ing
on the schedule, Tech and
Auburn are tied with identical
11-2 conference records.
Should Tech conquer Van-derbilt
in Nashville and Au­burn
win, there will be a tie for
the SEC championship.
The Yellow Jackets insured
themselves of a NCAA Tourna­ment
berth by downing the
University of Florida 69-55 in
an overtime. The score was tied
54 all at the end of regulation
play but the Engineers out-scored
the Gators 15-1 in the
extra five minutes for their
convincing victory margin.
After dropping a 61-60 deci­sion
to Auburn last Saturday
night, Coach Adolph Rupp's
Kentucky Wildcats b o u n c ed
back and soundly trounced
Bama 75-55 despite a 19 point
effort by Larry Pennington.
After being elevated to a
starting position Pennington
has scored 168 points in 8 games
for an even 21 point average.
Auburn and Alabama have
met twice on the hardwood this
season with the Tigers coming

in the UMOC contest are: Ann Joiner, president of Delta Zeta and
Burt Prater,,runner-up; and Tommy Henderson, Ugliest Man on
Campus and his sponsor, Kathy Bishop, president of Pi Beta Phi.
Pi Beta Phi's Tommy Henderson named
UMOC; Delta Zeta comes in second
By BOBBY BOETTCHER
The Ugliest Man on the Auburn Campus is Tommy Hen­derson,
thanks to the efforts of Pi Beta Pri sorority. Tommy
and his Pi Phi sponsors, with a total of $350, were victorious
over ten other entries in the annual Alpha Phi.Omega fund
raising campaign. The entire collection of $1,750-far exceed­ed
the expectations of APhiO
members.
According to contest Chairman
Ed Moore, the total is not only
the largest yet obtained by a
UMOC drive at Auburn, but also
is believed to be the highest
amount ever collected in this
nation-wide Alpha Phi Omega
service project. The money will
be used by APhiO for a large-scale
campus service project, the
nature of which has not yet been
determined.
UMOC Henderson received his
Ugly Man key from last year's
Ugliest Rex Frederick at half
time of the Auburn-Kentucky
game Saturday night. In addi­tion
he was given numerous gifts
donated by Auburn mediants.
Pi Beta Phi was awarded the
UMOC Trophy, to be kept by the
winning sorority for a year.
Alpha Phi Omega members ex­pressed
their appreciation to the
sororities, candidates, and the
Auburn student body for making
the contest a tremendous success.

REW enters final day
'Who is responsible?5
asks 2nd article on cheating
BY CHUCK JOHNSON and DAVE WILSON
Last week's article focused attention on the problem of cheating
at Auburn. The situation is neither new nor unique here and should
be a matter of serious concern to everyone connected with the Uni­versity.
Having outlined the problem, we must determine with whom
the responsibility lies.
The sociological development of the student before he reaches
college, the quiet apathy of the student body, and the disinterest of
the faculty and administration are the major factors contributing to
the flagrant frustration of the basic aims of education. We cannot be
held directly responsible for the first condition, but the remaining
reasons are the fault of our own educational community.
The student who cheats has also invariably been exposed from
early childhood to unethical practices in the home. Expressions such
as, "what they don't know won't hurt them" and "to the victor go
the spoils," are often learned before "Mary had a little lamb."
An ill-directed secondary school, operating with an artificial
system of grading and social advancement, and a superbly assinine
doctrine of "togetherness," does virtually nothing to enhance the
youngster's concept of educational ethics.
Thus the standards of many students become undetermined be­fore
they ever get to college. This particular phase of the problem is
primarily the responsibility of parents and secondary schools, how­ever,
and is not within the scope of this series.
The majority of students entering college are honest, despite
the conspiracy of environment and education to make them otherwise.
But the new student encounters greater pressure in college than he
has ever known—from his parents, teachers, friends and own desire
to succeed. The sight of. older students raising their grade averages
by "successfully" cheating is a powerful temptation to one not well
founded in ethics. Many groups on campus operate efficient systems
for cheating; these systems are sometimes offered as one of the incen­tives
to join the group.
Item: in one of the education courses requiring extensive outside
reading, many sorority members use files to prepare the required
notes. Since the professor never tests his students on this material,
there is no possibility of. being caught.
In one math class last quarter, 15 out of 17 perfect scores were
recorded by members of the same fraternity. The teacher took steps
to prevent his test from getting "out." Most of those same 15 failed
the next quiz.
Fraternity brothers of one Auburn professor have consistently
made the highest marks in his class, marks that are often much higher
than their, usual grade average. ••. • .*•
These examples are not intended just to indite the G r e e k s ,
as they are typical of other campus organizations, boarding houses
and dormitories.
General criticisms of the faculty include inconsistency in dealing
with cheating, insufficient supervision and poor testing procedures.
Many faculty look on cheating as some sort of game played with the
students, with grades as the prizes. This attitude is inexcusable in
a faculty member. Integrity is always the first casualty in this little
war.
An educator should stimulate the student's mind, and instill in him
a desire to learn. This may be expecting a lot in return for the meager
salaries paid to college professors, but a person should not be a col­lege
professor without this philosophy of education. The class will
largely respect a teacher for this attitude, and will approve any action
taken to curb the practice of. cheating.
Admittedly, the faculty has its problems. Most professors are
pressured by an overload of students, a limited amount of time, and
a lack of clerical aid. The professor finds himself forced to produce
quizzes which may be given and graded quickly—easy to produce,
easy to grade, and easy to cheat on.
However, failure to exercise proper precautions prior to and
during testing'cannot be justified under any circumstances. Too often
there are repetitions of. the same test, improper spacing of students,
and inattentive supervision during testing, all of which afford oppor­tunities
for those inclined toward dishonesty.
Another curious consideration is the handling of tests while they
are being typed, and mimeographed. Many departments persist in dis­posing
of legible stencils in ordinary rubbish cans. The current test
situation can be adjudged from the number and fervor of the stu­dents
at the cans behind Broun and Samford.
Rumors persist that a few janitors supplement their incomes by
providing tests. One supposedly even financed an expensive new car
in this manner. Since we have no definite factor of proof, The Plains­man
would appreciate any information to substantiate or refute these
allegations.
The administration also comes in for its share of the blame. Lax
enforcement of cheating rules greatly weaken the position of the pro­fessor
brings a student in for cheating; otherwise, it is implied that
the professor is not to be trusted.
Cheating has led to the development of some extremely hard
courses. When only one or two professors teach a course and permit
cheating, the tests must get constantly harder to keep the marks with­in
reason. The professors compensation for cheating can force many
otherwise honest students to cheat.
A problem ignored is not a problem solved. Cheating can prob­ably
never be completely eliminated, but it can certainly be limited
to the irreducible minimum; we at Auburn haven't even approached
this minimum.
We have examined the question of cheating in the hopes that
the members of our educational community might be stirred to ac­tion.
It lies within the power of the students, faculty, and administra­tion
to rid Auburn of this perversion of. educational ethics.
Thus, in the conclusion of the series next week, we shall sug­gest
some answers to the question, "What can be done?"

Foundation for Architec-tecture
and the Arts and the Au-ture
is sponsoring the conference.
"This event," said Dean Sam T.
Hurst, Auburn dean of architec­t
u r e and the arts, "is the first of
its kind where a national com­mittee
of the AIA joins with a
school of architecture in a meet­ing
of mutual benefit." Architects
from over the Southeast are be­ing
invited to participate in the
conference.
A seminar on Saturday at
10:45 a.m. is to be presided over
by Dr. D. G. Gill. State Depart­ment
of Health.
Upon adjournment committee
members have agreed to act as
critics of the work of Auburn's
student architects.
Architects on the national com­mittee
who will attend the con­ference

ADMIRING THEIR RECENT ACQUISITION, the Phi Eta Sig­ma
freshmen scholarship trophy, are Bob Barrs, left, TKE pledge
and James R. Henderson, of Mag Hall's Division W.
TKE, W WIN SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
The TKE pledge class and Di­vision
W, Magnolia Dormitories,
won Phi Eta Sigma's scholarship
trophies for Fall Quarter. The
national freshman men's honor­ary
annually awards a trophy in
the Winter Quarter to the frater­nity
pledge class and the division
of the school dormitories with the
highest scholastic average among
its freshman men.
Alpha Delta Upsilon compiled
the highest pledge average, 1.85,
but was ineligible because of col­ony
status.
The freshmen of Division W
acquired their trophy by compil­ing
an average of 1.387 for the
Fall Quarter. Division Y2 was
second with a 1.315 average.
Both trophies were presented
by Phi Eta Sigma President Paul

Army Secretary Brucker announces plan
for revifalizafion of ROTC curriculum
A revitalized course of studies
within the college Reserve Offi­cers'
Training Corps program was
announced last week by Secre­tary
of the Army Brucker.
Beginning wiht the school year
1960-61, advanced ROTC cadets
will take about 20 per cent of
their military instruction in uni­versity
taught subjects, such as
science, psychology, communica­tions
and political institutions.
To permit the change, military
subjects, such as crew served
weapons instruction, w i l l be
taught during the six-week sum­mer
camp period, normally at­tended
during the junior and sen­ior
college years.
The Army anticipates that the
new program will: stimulate in­creased
intellectual attainment on
the part of the ROTC students;
lessen the training load on stu­dents,
particularly those pursu-who
have led the Tide to four
conference victories in their
last seven games.

OBITUARY
Dana King Gatchell, retired
professor of home economics, died
Monday morning in Birmingham
after a prolonged illness. The au­thor
and. educator left Auburn
June, 1956, after 33 years.
Miss Gatchell taught modern
methods of preparing and serving
foods to some 4,000 students, and
had given various types of home
economics demonstrations before
at least 20,000 people.
Through instruction of home
demonstration agents, home eco­nomics
teachers and housewives,
she influenced the food serving
habits and decoration practices of
practically all Alabamians.
Among Miss Gatchell's accom­plishments
were the introduction
of food courses at Auburn, writ­ing
books and manuals on various
phases of good housekeeping, and
winning wide recognition for her
handmade tapestries.

Novelist Carl Carmer revisited
Alabama recently and, writing in
the March issue of Holiday maga­zine,
he compares today's s t a te
with the one he wrote of thirty
years ago in his famous book
Stars Fell on Alabama.
The well-known historian and
folklo.rist tells of the many
changes he found in his tour of
the state, and, whereas his book in
1933 was critical, his Holiday ar­ticle
entitled "Back to Alabama"
must be considered compliment­ary.
He reports a new spirit here,
new resources and new growth,
with signs of progress and pros­perity
on many sides and "where
intellectual interests and indus­tries
vigor reach a high level."
"Alabamians of. education take
pride in the cultural tradition of
the pre-Civil War South," he

writes, "though too many of them
.believe that they have inherited
it and so do nothing about it. The
new culture—represented by Mu­seums,
the interest in contempo­rary
arts, the appreciation of Wil­liam
Faulkner (twenty years ago
his novels were generally de­nounced
here)—has almost no re­lationship
to the old-time plan­ter's
preoccupation with the Greek
and Latin classics of Shake­speare."
Ten pages of the Holiday article
show colorful pictures of Alabama
people and places. Much of the
story centers on life in the larger
cities such as Birmingham, Mont­gomery,
and Mobile but he writes
also of the towns and villages
along his tour, and of the changes
in rural northern Alabama which
he knew thirty years ago as
mountain country dotted with hill
cabins. "Now this area is l a k e
country," he writes, "fertile pas­tures
and new crops—-corn, pea­nuts,
beans—have emancipated the
white serfs of. the old Alabama
economy."
He concludes his state tour in
Tuscaloosa, where he taught at
the University in the Twenties.
His story of Alabama ends with a
faculty friends observation: "We
used to live in the glory of our
past. Now we live on the promise
of our future."

"The telephone company really
helps you grow with your job"
John T. Bell majored in History and Eco­nomics
at the University of Georgia. On
graduating in June, 1957, he joined the
Southern Bell Telephone Company.
Today—less than three years later—he
is a Public Office Manager for the com­pany
at Orlando, Florida. His office serves
50,000 telephone accounts and handles
more than a million dollars' worth of
revenue every month.
John says: "I chose a telephone career
over a number of others because I was
impressed by the company's Management
Training Program and the opportunities
offered for rapid advancement. It was the
best decision I ever made."
John got his initial training at Jackson­ville
and Daytona Beach, where rotational
assignments familiarized him with over­all
company operations. Then he trans­ferred
to Orlando, where he trained as a
business office representative, attended an
instructor's school, and then taught classes
himself for several months.
Dealing with people—his "first love"—
is John's main job as Public Office Manag­er.
Besides handling personnel and other
administrative duties in his office, he
makes many customer contacts in and out
of the office. "I'm kept busy giving talks
about the company at meetings of busi­ness
and civic groups," he says. "Also,
I work closely with leading citizens on
various civic projects. It's mighty satis­fying,
and I feel it's making a better man­ager
of me. The telephone company really
helps you grow with your job."
Why not look into career opportunities
for you in the Bell Telephone Companies?

your campus—and read the Bell Telephone
booklet filed in your Placement Office.

Another View Of REW 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Feb. 24, I960
Entering the third day of Religious
Emphasis Week, we notice t h a t the theme,
Science and Religion, is p a r t i c u l a r l y ap­p
r o p r i a t e and that its guest speakers have
a fine knowledge of their subject.
The sciences' role in religious matters
Is a format that appeals to every person,
whether he is religiously inclined, agnos­t
ic or atheistic.
Those who are actually members of a
p a r t i c u l a r denomination or believe in a
specific faith derive spiritual food from
t h e convocations, discussions and services.
I n addition, they should enjoy meeting
leaders of faiths other t h a n their own. All
t h e great religions of America—Judaism,
Catholicism and Protestantism—are rep­resented
here. Members of these faiths
a r e using REW as a transparent melting
pot to present a picture of inter-denomina­tional
understanding.
Only one minor detail has been over­looked
by REW's planners: Moslem and
Hindu services for students from the Near
and Middle East.
This week should also be interesting
to agnostics, the persons who believe in
nothing without absolute proof. Many
forms of agnosticism comprise what is
probably the most popular belief in the
United States today. We believe t h a t many
agnostics are in a delicate theological bal­ance
and that a slight push from a person
of strong character, such as REW's speak­ers,
would topple t h em into a life of strong
religious feeling.
Agnosticism's philosophy places science
on a very important plane; therefore, its
believers can probably derive more from
this week t h a n can any other single group.
Even atheists can enjoy REW. If they
r e a l ly believe that there is no God, they
should have no qualms about discussing
t h e i r beliefs w i t h these theologians. Athe­ists
will also enjoy seeing men of different
religions brought together.
I n summary, Religious Emphasis Week
benefits those who express an actual be­lief
in a denomination; but it is even more
beneficial to those who doubt God's exis­tence
or his form.

be accepted as good, it constitutes about
t h e only good part of t h e whole system.
We have become a nation of mediocre
minds, each educated to t h e same level of
intellectual incompetence, with none of
t h e individualism that was a part of the
greatness of our forefathers.
What is t h e reason for this condition?
Sociologists, educators, psychiatrists and
clergymen each offer a very sweet expla­nation
according to the limits of his par­ticular
profession. The total effect is to
create t h e impression that Americans are
a group of misguided children, for rea­sons
varying from world tension to unsev-sred
umbilical cords.
Something must be done about this a r ­tificial
little dream world which we so
blissfully inhabit. Education of t h e masses
can be a fine thing if t h e effect is not to
reduce everyone to a common denominator
of optimistic ignorance. Our present sys­t
em might well prove fatal, unless cor­r
e c t e d at once.
J What is to be done? The Plainsman
has no pat answers to the question that
baffles some of the b e s t minds of our
country. We do realize that the answer
is not to be found in t h e p r a t t l i n g s of those
who don't recognize the ( e x i s t i n g evils.
F u r t h e r , we know that any change in the
philosophy of education demands not only
teachers capable of their tasks, but also
students willing to accept their proper
role.
This brings the problem back to us.
Our attitudes a r e a great p a r t of t h e prac­tical
joke known as education. If we're
smart, we'll change them. After all, the
joke's on us.

THE FRIENDLY MERCHANT
Hey there, oi' buddy
I'm an Auburn Tiger fan; I'm human just like you.
So come into my salesroom and we'll cheer
the orange and blue.
Like the man said, I believe in Auburn and love it.
There will never be another school above it.
(I, of course, realize this helps sell my merchandise;
But ol' buddy, it's the best way to shove it.)
A recent news item in the Na­tion's
dailies concerned a gov­ernmental
investigation of the
price of tranquilizers. A inter­esting
point was brought out in
comparing the price Americans
pay to the price that one would
pay in France, which tended to
give an otherwise serious prob­lem
the gravity of an old econo­mic
cliche concerning the price
of eggs in China. The considera­tions
given also brought out some
amusing, if not always interesting
or pertinent, points.
Presumably our elected repre­sentatives
were trying to get to
the bottom of a problem which
they felt demanded immediate
attention and a probe or two. It
seems that in America the price
for a quantity of tranquilizers is
6.49 times what it is in France.
One can only assume that any
more information than that is top
secret or" beyond public compre­hension,
or more probably out­side
the realm of public interest
yet within that of our govern­mental
agencies. No mention was
made as to why France rather
than England, China—or more
likely Russia since most all our
current comparisons a r e made
with Russia—was picked as a
comparative measurement. No
consideration was evident as to
why the price of tranquilizers
was more important legislative
meat than advertising, rigged
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
I look with a lifted eyebrow at
the exchange of ideas in last
week's LETTERS TO THE EDI­TOR
concerning fraternal organi­zations.
I believe that Mr. Tow-ery's
article of Feb. 10, 1960, has
suffered mis-interpretation. I am
inclined to wonder if the "out­raged
crys of. indignation" did not
arise from faulty analyses of the
article's content.
It was argued that fraternities
provide room and board and are
admirably philanthropic. This I
cannot deny, but I fail to see that
they refute Mr. Towery's argu­ment.
It was also erroneously argued
that it is man's nature to join a
group. Mr. Towery did not con­demn
all group organizations; he
did disapprove of non-academic
groups which are at variance with
the very aims of higher educa­tion.
It was argued that if fraternity
organizations disappeared there
would be no leadership in the stu­dent
body. Shall I infer from this
statement that schools not blessed
with the fraternity system lead
chaotic existances?
Although I am in agreement
with the gist of. Mr. Towery's ar-tile,
I question one point—that of
fraternities' academic passivity.
Facts show that fraternity grade
averages excell those of the inde­pendents.
But perhaps the frater­nal
averages are attained for su­perficial
reasons: making grades
to be initiated, winning a schol­arship
trophy, enjoying social
benefits, etc.
I believe Mr. Towery's article
is far from a threat, but a chal­lenge
to us to balance academic
life with social life.
Respectfully yours, .
Misha Towery
Editor:
Mr. Towery devotes almost half
of his article to rush, in con­demnation
of the fraternity sys­tem.
He uses such terms as "bias,"
"hypocrisy," and "unquestionable
prejudice." Rush can be a time
filled with all of these things. It
can be a. time of hasty ill deci­sion,
a time of complete confu­sion,
or a testing ground for ideals
and principles, but it can also
be a time of discrimination in
selection without prejudice—a
time when rushee and fraternity
alike seek to present an honest
picture of their best qualities, and
as in everything else, whether
consciously or unconsciously try
to sell themselves one to the oth­er.
Certainly the rush system can
be improved. To deny this would
be to deny self-insight an'd
growth.
The real value of the fraternity
and sorority system does not lie
in the material contributions it
makes to the campus and to itself.
It does not lie in which frater­nity
"cuts" another fraternity out
of a certain number of boys in
rush. It does not lie in which sor­ority
has the most beauties in the
Glomerata or the most fraternity
sweethearts. In the long run, these
things will not amount to a damn.
The real values lie in the con­centration
of broad opportunities
for the development of the indi­vidual
within a group. These op­portunities
m a y be kinetic or
only potential, depending on the
resourcefulness and attitudes of
the chapters, but they are there!
True, a person may derive these
opportunities from a variety of
other sources, but not in such a
concentration.. If an individual's
principles and beliefs are chal­lenged,
and if he can take insight
and accept or reject challenging
ideas; if he can become.adaptable;,
and thus become more mature;, if
an individual can become respon­sible,
not only financially, but
also for his own actions; if an in­dividual
can learn to work and
live in close contact with other
people, many with different back­grounds
and conflicting person­alities,
and can learn of compas­sion
for others; and if he can
learn basically to know himself,
and can learn to think; then sure­ly
this is contributing to higher
learning and is in unity with the
ideals of education.
On these grounds social frater­nities
and sororities can contri­bute
something of value!
Respectively yours,
David W. Crosland, Jr.

To the Editor:
Mr. Towery has pessimistically
pointed out that the rush system
at the immediate opening of col­lege
takes emphasis away from
the importance of scholarship. Is
is possible that a freshman, on
his first day on campus, might
say something similar to, "Regis­tration
is tomorrow, and I should
study my catalog to arrange an
adequate schedule . . . but XX
fraternity invited me to their
Gambling Casino Party and I
think I shall study the catalog af­ter
it's over." If a quote such as
this is possible, I think Mr. Tow­ery
may be right in his accusa­tion.
Certainly rush week combined
with orientation is hectic for the
incoming freshman. As I pointed
out in a previously published let­ter
to The Plainsman editor, re­quired
college activities allow the
rushee a maximum of 51V2 hours
in which he may "sell himself"
and be sold by fraternity men.
Again I ask, could this be "Court­ing
on a Time Schedule?"
I believe there is only one an­swer
to this system of scholastic
deemphasis during a time which
should allow the freshman to
firmly establish himself on new
scholastic ground. The many
times discussed answer to this
problem is deferred rush. Such a
system would benefit the three
parties concerned; the rushee, the
fraternity man, and the college.
By having more time to adjust
himself scholastically to the new
rigors, his later studies would
have a firmer foundation. As a
rushee, he would not be forced,
by a limited time schedule, to
accept a bid from a group of men
with whom he would later not
wish to be in close association.
Fraternities would strongly be
financially benefitted by such a
system because its very construc­tion
would prevent masses from
getting a week's meals for $2.00.
By utilizing a longer period of
rush, they would be able to
choose men with more discretion.
(Concerning "bias," are you go­ing
to jump on this last state­ment,
Mr. Towery?) By picking
pledges whom they knew better,
fraternities would benefit finan­cially
since the percentage of
pledge drops—at $35.00 average
per man, National Inter-frater­nity
Council statistics of 266 col­leges—
would decrease. Most im-
•.pjarlarit,..-the college ..would, be
benefitted. The soundly based
freshman scholar would be more
able to answer with pride a ques­tion
such as, "How did your stu­dies
go last quarter?"

An Appeal to Auburn Students:
The success of Auburn basket­ball
has been phenomenal be­cause
the members of our team
have put their whole hearts into
their basketball. We have been'
thrilled with so great an outcome.
Behind these boys is a coach
whom we all admire and love.
He's not just a coach but rather
a "Snow White" who has done
wonders with his material, a dis­ciplinarian
who has maintained
discipline by disciplining himself.
Eaves is the symbol of Auburn
basketball. With his shuffle he
has put us in the national spot­light.
What team exceeds ours in
shooting accuracy? What team is
more handicapped by lack of
height? Who, besides Eaves, is the
best coach in the SEC?
Auburn students should show
their respect for so great a man.
Would it be too much to give him
a Cadillac, too? Would a Cadillac
be too much to give Eaves in re­turn
for what he.has given us?
He has given us a winning bas­ketball
team. Can we afford to do
less for him?
Actually we have the respon­sibility
to give our laudable coach
a token of our appreciation, but
wouldn't Auburn students regard
such as a privilege? Wouldn't
they want to give a man some­thing
who has given Auburn bas­ketball
his all?
Let's make our next campaign
"A Cadillac for Eaves."

To the students of Auburn Uni­versity,
I submit this letter in support
of my friend and colleague, Carl­isle
Towery.
The reactions that have been
appearing in this publication in
rebuttal to Mr. Towery's essays
are of very little or no impor­tance.
Further, the value of his
column is not its essence, but the
attitude with which Towery con­ceives
the essays.
All men have a like purpose:
to be worthy of existence, in
whatever manner it may take or
however difficult it may be. Tow­ery's
column is justified for a
very obvious and valid, if gener­ally
overlooked, reason: he is
causing his fellow man not to
condemn but to question the true
value of existence. In this case,
the existence is that of the frat­ernal
organization. I feel that
with the application of an open
quiz shows, or voting referees.
Nor was any mention given to
who needs tranquilizers, why,
and how much a »good tranquil­izer
is really worth. In short the
whole affair seemed more like
legislative skull practice than
anything. One can only presume
that some dire economic prob­lem
lurked in the background,
that some shady Republican was
cleaning up in the American
tranquilizer market, or that some
nervous senator's nervous wife
was biting her fingernails too
short for lack of happy pills.
Chances are that which ever you
choose to believe won't be far
from wrong.
Perhaps the new and growing
power of France's global political
position has something to do with
the choice of comparison. This
might be a way to flatter the
French regime, admitting that
they've gone America one better
at least in a particular market,
be it ever so humble a one.
Why the tranquilizer price sit­uation
was front page news is ob­vious,
which is more than can be
said for the legislative interest
in it. There was little previous
indication of public concern over
the matter, at least not nearly so
much as other matters. And if
there were any concern it would
probably have nothing to do with
what the French are paying for
their happy pills. The problem of
international trade wasn't con­cerned
either, nor of inflation,
deflation, or exchange value of
franc for dollar.
The main concern of the legis­lators
seemed to center on the
fact that Americans are not able
to afford the tranquilizers that
they so desperately need. A price
investigation, with the suggested
possibility of government regu­lation,
indicates in a loose way
that our government feels that
we need tranquilizers more than
autos, homes, or television sets.
If their idea is based on some real
facts it would seem better to re­veal
those facts than compare
prices with someone else; for if
the need for tranquilizers is
greater than autos, homes, or
television sets, we ought to be
aware of it and duly concerned;
if not we should be concerned
about our elected representatives
having gotten some unrelibale
facts and question some of their
other "facts."
All this may seem pitifully trite5
but it does not have some bear­ing
on the college student—other
than an interest in governmental
affairs. If we are in such need of
tranquilizers as to arouse gov­ernment
sympathy, some of the
richness of our life, is obviously
missing. Too, there are very few
students who can afford five dol­lars
for 77 cents worth of French
tranquilizers. And without our
tranquilizers we will surely per­ish,
and with us the present and
perhaps future college generation.
If we do not need tranqualizers
then the whole situation is of no
interest. We might instead suggest
that the government investigate
the price of. No-Doze when they
have some leisure time with noth­ing
better to investigate.

Freda Firp:
The problem of Auburn men
Second of our guest colmunist
is Freda Firp, education major,
behind the scenes leader in W.S.-
G.A. and leading authority on
Auburn men, which is her sub­ject
for this column.
Freda is the kind of girl that,
your roommate's date insists has
lots of personality and is really a
go-getter. The kind that you lat­er
hope isn't going to get you.
Freda claims that Auburn men
are her favorite subject, but that
if she were at Snead or Troy then
Sneed men or Troy men would
be her favorite subject. If she
were in China or Africa, well.
Freda hesitatingly admites that
her real reason far coming to Au­burn
was because there were so
many eligible men. But she sor­rowfully
admits that it hasn't
helped her yet.
Miss Firp wisely chose educat­ion
as a major, being the conser­vative
lass that she is. She is an
intellectual at heart and feels
that she has much to offer the
Auburn men in this department,
hoping that in a moment of bet­ter
sense they will realize the
value of a girl's mind and come
flocking to her.
Hi
I'm so glad to get this oppor­tunity
to express my views on
Auburn men, and perhaps to give
you girls some handy hints on
how to handle them.
They are so cute, but it does
disgust me no end when I see
some hulk ogling the PLAINS­MAN'S
loveliest of the- week.
You'd think that the only impor­tant
thing about a girl was her
figure. I'm not jealous, mind you,
but it does seem that sooner or
later the boys will come to real­ize
that a girls best asset is her
mind. With most of them I think
the figure interest is just a pass­ing
fancy.
I don't mind sitting in the
dorm all weekend, it has it's ad­vantages;
but I am getting a little
tired of waiting for some hand­some
Auburn male to notice my
attributes. All this free time
gives me chance to think up ideas
for W.S.G.A. to practice with. I
don't really mind being an office
holder—the prettier ones get it
for publicity's sake you know,
but if I could just get a little cre­dit
for some of the regulations
I've suggested I know that I'd get
some attention from the Auburn
men.
Well, to get back to Auburn
men—and I get goosepimply just
thinking about some of them,
which is most of the time. Most
of them are just poor little mix­ed
up kids. Take the one who
mind, a great deal of truth can
be gained from the expression
that Towery is putting forth.
. . . so many humans have the
power of acceptance . . . so very
few, the will to question . . .
Charles A. Dunseth
whistled at me as I was running
to PE class once. He had the
strangest look on his face when
at a closer look he saw that I was
only carrying the volley balls.
Most of them aren't very polite
either. I once dropped fifteen
hankerchiefs in the union build­ing
one day and never had a one
returned. One boy did say, "You
dropped your hankerchief, bud­dy."
When I smiled at him he
gave me a nasty look and walked
off sneering. A lot of them are
shy and unresponsive though,
I'm getting goosepimply again!
I must admit that I've only had
one date in three years at Au­burn,
but I keep trying—always
in the union building between
classes, running across court dur­ing
the half at basketball games,
walking very slowly to PE class,
and driving the new car that dad­dy
bought me all over campus.
I think most Auburn men are
nice though. I plan to get one,
even if I have to stay here long
enough to get a PhD.
Sincerely, Freda Firp

A young man telephoned the
sorority house where his girl liv­ed.
Another young lady answered
his call. "I'm sorry, Barbara's
out." she said. "Would you like
to leave your line?"
When the Chinese start using
something that originated in our
part of the world, they often
adopt the Western name, imitat­ing
its sound. For example, the
martini cocktail is called "Ma T'i
Ni."
Usually the imitative sounds
make no sense in their original
Chinese meanings, but "Ma T'i
Ni" has a beautifully appropriate
significance. It translates: "The
horse kicked you."

One For the Road
One result of the new super­highways
is wider traffic jams.
There's an antique-car club in
Dallas: the members are people
who own Cadillacs more than a
year old.
Up in the Canadian north
woods, at the entrance to a dirt
road, there is a sign: "Choose
your rut carefully as you will be
in it for the next 20 miles."
Nothing chills the heart with
quite the same sense of forebod­ing
as watching the motorcycle
policeman who has just stopped
you take of his leather gloves, one
finger at a time.

The Auburn Dance committee
and IFC is jointly sponsoring a
project to compile a list of bands

the Union desk for use by stu­dents.
Fraternity and sorority mem­bers
have been sent cards to fill
out and return tomorrow to the

musical groups with which they
are familiar.
Atha Parham, in charge of pub­licity
of the committee, states
that response has been poor and
urges that the cards be returned.
Individuals knowing of a band
may obtain cards at the Union

group includes name, perfor­mance

individual comments.

files containing pertinent infor­mation
about campus organiza­tions
were started years ago, they
haven't been kept up to date, so
his first task will be to gather
this information. He will serve in
the advisory capacity to the 17
organizations coming under the
student activities fee, such as the
band, athletics and the Lecture
and Concert series.
There are many miscellaneous
duties attached to this office, such
as working with outside groups
that come to our campus, and
helping boys who need financial
assistance.
Mr. Reinhard, when asked
about Auburn, the town and the
university, replied, "It should be
re-named the loveliest and the
friendliest village of the plains."
About the student body, he said,
"I think they show the best school
spirit I've seen any place." He
says the town and school seem
to be very sincere in welcoming
he, Nancy, and Herb III, their
2 V2-year-old son. Certainly it isn't
hard to welcome an enthusiastic

his services are available will do
well to take advantage of them.

Hail To Thee
Broun Coke Machine
Hail to thee, staunt Coke machine
Guardian of the portals of Broun Hall;
Noblest of the no-armed bandits
Noblest of them all;
Rivalling the very deadliest
Of thwarters
While gathering the nickles, dimes,
And quarters.
How I love the way you stand there,
Sneering, buzzing, flashing lights there
As if you do not give a damnsy,
Like your kin at Mag and Ramsay.
No drinks you give, nor change do offer,
But keep them in a hidden coffer;
Out of sight and gone from pocket,
And even though we kick and knock it,
Thy fuslage withstands.
Nor alone are you in robbery
Among the world of push-pull knobbery;
We shall not forget thy cohort,
Ever willing, too, to extort:
Machine of candy!
Ah, take thy fill, oh candy bandit;
But surely you must not demand it
All from me!
Could it be you think it funny
To part me from my hard-earned money
Constantly?
And Mag Hall's milk machine of wonder
Which keeps its dairy treasure under
Watchful eye, lest some coin-dropper
Receive his milk down in the hopper.
To all the other greed machines
And all of their corrupt routines
I wish to say I do not mean
Offense;
But I am poor; I have no more,
And now I feel I must deplore;
I've lost three dollars and forty-four
Cents.
Hail to thee, staunt Coke machine;
Guardian of the portals of Broun Hall,
I think that it would be so nifty
If we'd be partners (fifty-fifty).

EE Department
begins research
in nuclear fusion
A research project dealing with
problems common to both con­trolled
nuclear fusion and elec­trical
engineering is now in the
first stages of work here.
"Study of Gas Discharges in a
Magnetic Field in a Vacuum" is
the official title of the project
headed by Dr. C. H. Weaver, the
Westinghouse professor of elec­trical
engineering at Auburn.
"We are concerned with two
things in this project," said Dr.
Weaver. "First we will establish
a facility-that consists of a mag­netic
field in a vacuum. Then we
will study the various types of
electrical arc discharges in the
facility."
Construction of the facility was
begun Jan. 15 by the electrical
engineering department, under
the sponsorship of Auburn's en­gineering
experiment station. Be­ginning
March 15, two graduate
students will do research work
on the project.
Dr. Weaver is associated in a
consulting capacity with the Un­ion
Carbide Nuclear Company at
Oak Ridge, Tenn. His work there
has been on project Sherwood, a
United States Government spon­sored
project, concerned with the
generation of power by nuclear
fusion. The project at Auburn is
a continuation of certain phases
of his work at Oak Ridge. The
problem of generating power
from controlled nuclear fusion is
essentially the problem of har­nessing
the H-bomb for peace­ful
purposes.
This project will be of parti­cular
interest to persons doing
research in the fields of controll­ed
nuclear fusion and vacuum
tube design. Besides adding to
Auburn's nucjlear science pro­gram,
this project may open the
door to new courses for graduate
students in nuclear science, phy­sics
and engineering.

A Poll.
The Sports Arena... Too Unnerving?
BY JIM PHILLIPS
In the February 14 combined edition of The
Atlanta Journal and Constitution, an article
headlined "Basketball Dins of Iniquity—Auburn's
SEC Most Unnerving Spot" appeared in t he
sports section. Al Thorny, the writer, polled SEC
cage coaches, so the verdict was theirs.
This writer views such a title as complimen­tary
to the Auburn student body, a reflection of
the great spirit and stamina displayed by fans
in the Arena every winter, win or lose. Here's
what some other folks say about Auburn's desig­nation
as the SEC's "Most Unnerving . . . "
Adolph Rupp, Kentucky Basketball Coach.
"This Auburn student body is the best my boys
have ever played before. The crowd was really
wholesome, I'd say. I even found myself getting
enthusiastic there at times with the Auburn stu­dent
body hollerin' so loud and wanting that
game so badly."
Bill Beckwith, Auburn Public Relations Di­rector.
"Without a doubt Auburn is the noisest
place to play basketball in the conference. But
you never hear any abusive language, common to
some other SEC gyms. We've got the best stu­dents
in the league here. They love their fun,
but they're the most orderly crowd you'll ever
see. I'd say this is the best Auburn student body
since I came here in 1945. Man, I'd put our 2500
folks from the Sports Arena up against anybody
else's 50,000 and you'd see more clean, winning
spirit out of our bunch!"
Jimmy Fibbe, Auburn basketball forward.
"Getting unnerved all depends on the team in­volved.
The home team really never notices a
home crowd. You know it's there and know it's
for you. But an adverse crowd' shouldn't bother
a visiting team. They're not going to swoop down
on the court and bother you, so there's no need
in getting unnerved by a crowd. I don't think the
Auburn student body in the Sports Arena really
bothers any of the visiting teams. It shouldn't.
Don Braswell, Theta Chi. "Georgia Tech is at
least as unnerving a place to play as is Auburn.
They're really bad sports up there, while we're
not. From all reports I've received, though, Ken­tucky
is the most unnerving place to play ball
in this league."
Henry Hart, Auburn basketball captain. "I
don't think our fans hollered enough Saturday
night. Georgia and Kentucky are two tough
places to play because of the poor sportsmanship
evidenced at times there. Their gyms must be
more unnerving to visitors than our "barn,"
where there's just a lot of spirited yelling."
Norm Carlson, Auburn University Sports Pub­licist.
"From what I've seen, Athens' Woodruff
Hall is more unnerving than the Arena. Auburn's
noise is just a lot of spirit. Baron Rupp thought
the Auburn crowd was wonderful Saturday night.
You can't blame Auburn fans for getting so loud.
They have tremendous endurance, the best spirit
I've even seen, and they doubtlessly form some
of the most well-mannered crowds you'll ever
see."
Ray Groover, Auburn basketball forward. "I
don't get this stuff about our crowds bothering
opposing teams so much. Auburn's basketball
crowds aren't at all unruly . . . they just show a lot
of. school spirit. You should see some of the go­ings-
on we run into on the road. Still, it never
has bothered me. They screamed and carried on
at Mississippi's small gym this January. They
even hung down from the balconies and baited
us. We lost the game, but it certainly wasn't
owing one bit to that.

"We've a good chance, but
it'll be the scrap of our lives."
That was Coach Swede Um-bach's
estimation of the up­coming
wrestling tournament
at Maryville, Tenn., Feb. 26
and 27.
Chattanooga, who is one up
on Auburn's 4-2 record, will
be the matmen's biggest threat.
The Noogans have previously
shown their skill and strength
by defeating the Tigers in their
last meet at the Sports Arena.
This was Auburn's first SEIWA
loss in thirteen years.
Auburn wrestling favorites
for the Southeastern Intercolle­giate
Championship are George
McCrary, 130 lb. class and Fel-ton
Hastings, 137 lb. class. Gar­ner
Hastings will have more
than stiff competition as he
meets Lance Parker in the 191
Filters as no single filter can
for mild, full flavor!

Here's how the Dual Filter does it:
1. It combines a unique inner filter of ACTIVATED CHARCOAL...defi;
nitely proved to make the smoke of a cigarette mild and smooth . . .
2. with an efficient pure white outer filter. Together they bring you the
best of the best tobaccos—the mildness and taste that pay off in pleasure!
on
lb. class. Parker was the Noo-ga
muscle man who subdued
highly favored 250 lb. George
Gross. The redheaded demon,
Marx Brannum is expected to
give another of his fast, aggres­sive
performances in the 177
lb. division. George Gross, who
dosen't know his own strength,
will be Auburn's hope in the
heavies. Though lacking in ex­perience,
Gross has proved to
be a powerful contender, los­ing
only one match.
Auburn will go into the
Maryville Meet as a slight fav­orite.
The Swede's team has no
contender in the 115 lb. divi­sion.
However, the matmen
have three boys who were
SEIWA champs last year. These
champs p l u s an incredible
string of 13 straight SEIWA
championship wins s h o u ld
prove to give Auburn another
of her many wrestling victor­ies.
MATMEN WIN 31-5
Birmingham-Southern was
taken for a ride last Tuesday
by the lopsided score of 31-5.
Auburn had a hard fought but
rewarding n i g h t , dominating
every event.
The first two events in the
lighter divisions were forfeit­ed
due to injured B'ham-South-ern
contenders. Previously un­defeated
R i c h a r d Thompson
(A) was given a loss for over­coming
his opponent a little too
aggressively. Thompson lifted
his foe in the air and slammed
him to the mat. It seems the
boy made the mistake of re­laxing
and was knocked out
when contact was made with
the mat.
Auburn was credited with 6
takedowns, 1 near fall, and 3
falls. One fall came from Don
Miller's exhibition match.
The University-of the South
at Suwanee fell victim to heavy
snowfall and was unable to
compete in the Feb. 19 sche­duled
meet at Auburn.

I'd heard many stories about
Kentucky's coach, Adolph Rupp,
but they all proved to be mis­spent
exaggerations last Satur­day
night.
Rupp's one of the nicest per­sons
you could ever want to
meet. Despite the fact that his
hopes for an SEC championship
had just been blown to pieces by
Auburn he was willing to talk
to anyone who had a question
. . . and even throw in a few
quips along the way.
"We almost enjoyed coming,"
said Baron Rupp after Auburn's
thrilling 61-60 win over the
'Cats last Saturday.
When asked how he compared
Tech and Auburn after having
met them both the Baron said,
"Has that not been decided here
tonight?
"We've really had tough luck"
Rupp continued; refering to the
expertly blocked shot in the last
second by Helmlinger and ace
guard Dick Parsons' injury ear­ly
in the first half.
"Hell no, the crowd didn't
bother us. This is a good crowd.

Gentleman Joel Eaves-
Best In His Business?
INTRAMURAL CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFFS LOOM
By BOBBY BOETTCHER
"The gentlemanly, mild-man­nered
Joel Eaves," or "the
congenial, gracious A u b u rn
cage mentor" are only two typ­ical
comments of admiration di­rected
toward C o a c h Joel
Eaves by southern sports writ­ers
who observe him at each
game. This admiration is shar­ed
by every member of the
basketball, squad, and spreads
throughout the student body as
well. For a man of such ath­letic
prowess, admiration is to
be expected. However, upon a
closer examination of J o el
Eaves, ihe man, it is easily
understood how he commands
natural respect and admiration
from his every contact.
A man with a method for to­day
and an eyi for the. future
is this native of Copper Hill,
Tenn. and former nine-letter
Auburn varsity athlete (1933-
37). His athletic endeavors dur­ing
his undergraduate days on
the Plains saw him as a base­ball
pitcher, a basketball guard,
and a n a l l - S EC football end.
His twenty year coaching ca­reer
has carried him from bas­ketball
at Sewanee, (followed
by a four-year period as an
Army officer,) to baseball at
Boys' High in Atlanta, to ath­letic
director and basketball
coach at Murphy High School
in Atlanta.
Joel Eaves
Now in his 11th cage-coach­ing
year at Auburn, he has ac­cumulated
a record of 143-76
for all games, and 83-60 in the
SEC. Under his ten-year sea­son
finish record, Auburn ranks
an average of 4th in the con­ference.
Over such a time span,
that record is envied by many
a coach. In the great Auburn
basketball year of 1958, when
mighty NCAA champion Ken­tucky
was humbled by the,
Plainsmen, Eaves was voted
SEC "Coach of the Year."
A scientific and systematic
thinker, he has written a book
on his famed "shuffle system"
Frosh Down Southern Union 68-60;
Leonard And Salter Lead Scoring Spree
By BUDDY DAVIDSON
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn Freshmen made up an early four point de­ficit
on a late first half scoring spree by Jim Leonard and
John Salter and went on to down stubborn Southern Union
Junior College 68-60.
The Bisons took a 13-9 lead midway in the first half
before Auburn's defense tight
ened. The Baby Tigers allowed
their hosts but four points in
the last five minutes while
picking up 14 for their 33-23
halftime lead.
After intermission Billy Tink­er
got hot and hit six out of
-> -six field -goal ateanftts, to help
-give, thei:T.ieers„,,.their biggest
lead of thenight, 57-39, with
nine minutes left to play. How­ever,
Tinker pumped in eight of
nine tries from the field and
one for one at the foul line for
17 points and high scoring
honors.
At this point coach Rex Fred­erick
began substituting freely
and the Bisons bounced back
behind Fred Cooper and Tom­my
Cato. Cato picked all 16 of
his points on field goals from
outside while Cooper got most
of his 15 markers on layups.
Both teams displayed unusual
accuracy at the charity stripe.
The Southern "five" hit 10 of
12 while Auburn connected on
14 of their 17 tries.
The Plainsmen completely
dominated the b a c k b o a r d s ,
grabbing 52 rebounds to 21 for
the Bisons.
FROSH FACTS
Through 10 games Billy Tin­ker
is the leading scorer with
110 points followed by Jim
Leonard with 101. . . . Butch
Ware has made good 23 of 27
free throw atempts for 85.2 per
cent. John Burnett is right be­hind
with 80.6 per cent. . . . The
Frosh are averaging 70.2 points
per game while holding opposi­tion
to 59:4.

cage playoffs began Monday and
Tuesday respectively of this
week. In the fraternity loop,
the PKAs have League I sewed
up while in Leagues 2, 3, and 4
there were two way ties for
first place at press time. SAE
and TX went for the League 2

the championship of the t h i rd

giving glowing accounts of his
prestige as a builder of basket­ball

by both teams." (Hav­ing
won)" . . . any big game

on Kentucky) ". . .
we've always had good rela­tions
with Coach Rupp and
Kentucky."
On the SEC: "It's a hard
place to make a living! There
seem to be several teams on
just about an even par with
one another this year, which
makes the conference on a
whole not quite as good as last
year, but much more competi­tive."
On next year's basketball

anything now. The season isn't
over and the important thing
is that game we still have left
to play."
On Joel Eaves, the coach:

coaches. You know it takes five
guys out on that court to win
a game, and they are the most
important thing. A coach is
nothing without those f i ve
guys."

tic a couple of times. They did-not
abuse us and as far as the
noise goes those folks came here
to win and I don't see anyone
refunding anybodys money now."
Did those 22 fouls hurt much?
"We're not griping about them,"
replied Rupp, "but that wasn't
what hurt us the most. A little
fellow by the name of Ray
Groover gave us a hell of a lot
more trouble than we expected
from him . . . and Helmlinger
did a good defensive job too."
"In my opinion," said Rupp,
'"Auburn has the best chance
to win the conference now."
THE SILENT SEVEN
Each Aufcurn home basket­ball
game the Auburn cheer­leaders,
all seven of them, come
plodding into the Sports Arena
one or two at the time any­where
from six-thirty to seven-fifteen
and plop down on the
fifty-yard line.
Then, they ignore numerous
yells from the fans of "Why in
the hell don't the cheerleaders
hollar." A few minutes before
game time they'll finally get up
—bless their ever-lovin' orange
and blue souls—and lead a
cheer. Big deal.
Seems to me like they aren't
doing their job. After all they
are supposed to support student
interest and they aren't doing
that by a long shot.
Let's get on the ball cheer­leaders
and give the fans the
leadership they want instead of
smiling smugly when they ask
your help.

Retrospect of Victory...
Cats Faced Six Stars!
Gamesaver John Helmlinger
By JIM PHILLIPS
Last Saturday night all six
white-jersied cagers seeing ac­tion
against perennial court
ruler Kentucky were stars of a
sort.
There was, as always, Henry
"Po Devil" Hart, the Tiger cap­tain
who limped out to the
Sports Arena hardwood on a
bum leg again, to help put the
stab on King Wildcat for the
first time in his brilliant ca­reer.
There there were Porter Gil-

Bama Tickets Sell In Fieldhouse

Coliseum Saturday night may be purchased at the Alburn
Fieldhouse today and tomorrow. Prices are one dollar for stu­dent
tickets and two dollars for general admission. No student

general admission variety.
Auburn's great shooting percentage, increased to 51.9 with
the Tennessee game, still leads the nation in that category. Last
year, Coach Joel Eaves' shufflemen shot 48.7 to finish- tops in
this same department.
At press time this week, Auburn's SEC leaders had finally
greased into the UPI top twenty cage teams poll. UPI ranked
the Eavesmen 16th. Associated Press had not yet released their
top twenty, but Auburn's position there was expected to be
much higher.
The basketball coaches choosing UPI's Top teams picked
Georgia Tech sixth in the nation again, despite the facts that
they'd been dropped by Tennessee, 56-55 last Tuesday night,
a fourth Jacket loss this season, and lost two big ones to the
16th place Tigers.
bert and David Vaughn. Porter,
a good reason himself that the
game was so important (his
winning 35 foot shot at Tulane
kept Auburn in title conten­tion),
threw 10 points through
the mesh—all at crucial in­stances.
Ankle-injured dwarf,
Dave Vaughn, still limping
somewhat and out of action for
four games, strode to the foul
line, and with a marked fam­iliarity
to the bucket, swished
his only two shots of the night,
both crucial free throws.
And there was Ray Groover,
the shifty, powerful, hard-driving
junior forward. Ray
chose to play his greatest col­lege
game at the most oppor­tune
instance. Fifteen times Ray
stood at the foul line. On twelve
occasions his shots dropped
through. Driving, spinning with
an uncanny motion, and often
shooting with the left hand,
Georgian Groover added five
field goals to finish high for
the night with 22 points. His 12
first half markers kept Auburn
in a 32-29 game that otherwise
could have become a Cat run­away
at that point. Said Baron
Rupp after it was all over,
"That Ray Groover is a tough
kid. He hurt us a lot more
than we ever thought he could."
Then there was Jimmy Fibbe,
the game winner . . . "Mr. Ice-water
in the Veins." Fibbe, al­ready
a 15 point scorer and top
rebounder for the night, turned
immortal hero with just five
seconds left on the red-faced
clock. Jimmy had a one and one
free throw situation . . . a miss
on the first shot would be fatal.
But this Kentuckian with the
big chance to beat his home
folks, hit once . . . twice, it
was Auburn 61-60, but far from
over yet. There was still an­other
Auburn star on the hori­zon.
With four seconds left, Sid
Cohen, the ace Cat guard, toss­ed
in to Allan Feldhaus, a sub
who was breaking down the
left baseline. Without hitching
in -stride, Feldhaus grabbed
Cohen's pass near the goal, but
instinctively went up for the
shot right-handed rather than
using the left as would be ex­pected
for a left side shot. Com­ing
from nowhere to ghost back
to the position he'd been faked
out of, big Johnny Helmlinger,
now called Auburn's "Humdin­ger,"
twisted like a fakir and
reached high into the air, mak­ing
the historic block of Feld­haus'
shot, saving the big win
for Auburn as the clock ran
bare of seconds.
