Many Speakers Present
At First Mass Meeting
Dr. Bradford Knapp Leads Students
In New Yell
The first mass meeting of the year
went off with a bang last Saturday
night with everybody and his twin
brother present and full of pep.
Charley Dudley was master of cer­emonies,
introducing the speakers and
leading the cheers. He was ably as­sisted
in leading cheers by a number
of upperclassmen and "rats" who in-
* duced the audience to "holler" them­selves
hoarse. In other words every­body
"got right."
Talks were made by Coach Bohler,
Captain Carter, Coach Brown, Frank
DuBose, the president of the senior
class, "Pop" Paterson, Captain in '27,
Roy Sellers, student Sec. of the Y. M.
C. A., Rosser Alston of the Plains­man,
Shell Toomer, Homer Wright,
General Nobile, Walker Reynolds,
Captain in '09 and President Knapp.
Prexy won the hearts of all the
students present by leading a yell of
his own called the dummy yell. It
was a corking good yell and he lead
it like a veteran. The talk he made
also aroused a great deal of enthusi­asm.
He made a number of good sug­gestions
about conducting future pep
meetings.
After the meeting on the bleachers
adjourned the "rats" conducted a shirt
tail parade thru town, and kept folks
awake with their "War eagles" till
the wee hours of the morning.
The conclusion of the third week
finds Auburn well on its way to its
banner year. With the total registra­tion
already 1619, five more than the
entire enrollment of last year, hopes
are high for the largest student body
in history. The greater part of the
increase was in the freshman class,
which already reaches 544 and bids
fair to be the largest that Auburn
has ever known. From last year's
freshman class there was the great­est
percent to return since 1921. The
sophomores number 400 to date. The
remainder consists of 332 juniors, 286
seniors, 14 five year men, and 25
special students.
The number of students enrolled
in each department is as follows: Ap­plied
Art, 13; General, 252; Chem­istry,
78; Premedical, 39; Pharmacy,
43; Education, 143; Agricultural Ed­ucation,
218; Agriculture, 66; Home
Economics, 48; Architecture, 61; Ar­chitectural
Engineering, 33; Civil and
Highway Engineering, 152; Electri­cal
Engineering, 318; Mechanical En­gineering,
134; Veterinary Medicine,
25.
Every county in Alabama and sev­eral
states are represented in this
stellar enrollment. These students
come to us from farms, cities, and
villages. It might be interesting to
note that of the above that 120 are of
the fairer sex, which means more ««-
eds for Auburn.
From these statistics, one sees that
Auburn is going forward on a bigger
scale than ever. This can be largely
attributed to President Knapp, Coach
Bohler, and the hearty support of the
alumni.
SECOND I S S U E OF
CAJOLER OUT SOON
'Puritan Number" To Have Many
New Features
The second issue of the Cajoler
will be off the press November 15th,
and will be known as the "Puritan
Number 2." The front will "be attrac­tively
drawn up in three colors as a
presentation of the "Modern Puritan".
Quite a few features that were neces­sarily
omitted in the initial issue will
appear in this number. There will
be an addition of four to eight pages
which should also add to the interest
of the readers.
This magazine has made its appear­ance
throughout the South, and from
all indications the sales on the com­ing
number should double that of the
preceding one. The Cajoler is circu­lated
in seven Southern states with
copies on all leading news stands and
at all colleges and leading girl schools.
The circulation department announ­ces
the sales of practically all of the
initial copies, and also the completion
of a very profitable drive for sub­scriptions.
BOTEGHA SELECTS
J U N I O R PLEDGES
Outstanding Men Named By Honor­ary
Architectural Society
Botegha, honorary architectural
society, has selected as pledges for
this year, Harry Golman, K. R. Gid-dens,
Streeter Wiatt and Fred Ren-neker.
As membership in this so­ciety
is the highest honor that can be
accorded by the Architectural Depart­ment
these* young men have attained
something of which they may justly
be proud.
Harry Golman is a popular stu­dent
in the Senior Class; K. R. Gid-dens,
Phi Kappa Delta, Streeter
Wiatt, K. A., and Fred Renneker, K.
A., are well known members of the
Junior Class.
Alternate Captain
Ingram Toe Artist
RUPERT INGRAM
Ingram, who plays right end, is
starting his third year as a Varsity
man. Although not in school last
semester, "Rupe" has returned to
school and is in fine condition. His
early season form points to an even
better year for him than the past two
have been. Ingram should make a
strong bid for All-Southern honors
this fall.
"Rupe" came to Auburn from We-tumpka,
where he starred in football,
baseball, and basketball at the We-tumpka
High School. In his Fresh­man
year here he had no trouble
making the Rat teams in all of these
SDOXtS.
During his Sophomore year Ingram
played end and soon gained recogni­tion
all over the South for his ability
to catch passes and to break up the
plays of the opposing teams. • Time
after time he broke through to throw
the man carrying the ball for a loss.
One' of Ingram's chief accomplish­ments
is his ability to place kick. He
kicks off all the time and each kick
goes far into the enemy's territory.
Then too, "Rupe" kicks all the goals
after touchdowns; and rarely ever
misses.
Ingram is very active in campus ac­tivities
and is a member of the Pi
Kappa Phi Fraternity.
Watch "Rupe" go this year.

The possibility of developments

With Dr. Bradford Knapp a leader
gigantic possibilities for a greater
Auburn loom in the new future—not
ten years from now, not even five.
They have already begun. Thousands
of dollars have been spent during the
past summer for improving the build­ings
and installing new equipment
that is necessary to the instructors
and students.
A large magnificent new Chemistry
Building will be completed by the
opening of school next Fall. This
will be the first of the new buildings
to be constructed as it is the one
most needed. New dormitories will
also soon become a reality. Dr.
Knapp also confides that he hopes in

first dance of the year last Saturday
night in the gymnasium. Between
fifty and sixty couples were present
to enjoy the occasion. The music was
furnished by Max Jones' orchestra.
This club sponsors dances to be held
by the faculty of the school each year.
It is to bring members of the fac­ulty
in close contact with each other,
and to furnish a means of recreation
and enjoyment for the members of
the administration.
The members of the faculty of each
department sponsor one of the dances
each year. Announcement wiH be
made preceding each dance as to
which department will sponsor the
dance. Usually an extra program is
put on by that department.
Dr. Knapp says in regard to the
club: "The hope of the Faculty Dance
Club, in the new year and with the
new administration, is to promote the
best and highest social standards of
the school and materially help the
good name of the institution."
NOTICE
Due to the fact that this is the last
part of the month and everyone's
bank account is very, very low, and
since everyone wants to use what
there is left to go to Montgomery to
see Auburn beat Southern, the Glom-erata
staff will accept checks post­dated
up to October 10th. Failure
to take up these checks will cause
picture to be left out of the Glomer-ata,
and check will have to be made
up before annual can be gotten in
May.
Everyone who has not received a
card for Glomerata sitting appoint­ments
or has missed an appointment
will please come to the office on
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday,
October 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

"shove-off" was the inspiring Cabi­net
breakfast at the Auburn Inn
Sunday morning, Sept. 23, where the
officers and captains met together
for an hour of zealous talks and re­ports,
backed by an appetizing break­fast.
The ministers of the town,

"NICK" CARTER
Here we have "Nick' 'Carter who
will lead the Auburn Tigers against
Birmingham-Southern Friday night
at 8 o'clock at Cramton Bowl. This
game will officially open the 1928 sea­son
for the Tigers.
Carter has been one of the main­stays
on the line for the past two
years and is rated as one of the best
linemen in the South. He is over six
feet tall and weighs close to two hun­dred
pounds. "Nick" is always giving
his best, and he really hits a man
hard when he tackles .
"Nick" hails from Bloutsville where
he played four years of football. Then
the mainstays of the Freshman team.
In his sophomore year he had no
trouble making himself a place at
guard although his regular position
is tackle. Last year he was shifted
to tackle and played so good that he
was mentioned for All-Southern, a
distinction coveted by all football
players.
This year, with two years varsity
experience, Carter seems certain of
a place on Mythical All-Southern
team; for he has been showing excep­tional
mid-season form in practice.
Carter is well known in campus ac­tivities
and is a member of several
honorary societies. He is also a mem­ber
of the Tau Omega Chi Fraternity.

There has been another change ad­ded
to the many that has recently
been enacted on the campus. This
change is in the method of this year's
cheer leaders. The custom of the
past has been to select as a cheer
leader one of the Senior Class. His
two assistants have been provided by
the other classes. However in a meet­ing
of the Senior Class it was decided
to have for cheer leaders the best
that could be found in school, re­gardless
of their class. This method
of choosing the cheer leaders has
been adopted, and tryouts^are now
being conducted. Three cheer lead­ers
will be tried in the first two regu­lar
games. One man will be chosen
as head cheer leader and, he will make
his letter. His assistants will be the
two judged by the committee as the
next best.
Those chosen to lead cheers at the
Birmingham-Southern game are: Bax­ter,
Puryear and Tyler.

Dr. Knapp Establishes
Precedent On Campus
Concentration On Game Has
Psychological Effect
Great
In a special Upper-Classmen's
Convocation Tuesday morning Dr.
Knapp set forth some splendid plans
pus just before a football game. -
Dr. Knapp's ideas were put into
practice this morning thusly: When a
Freshman was accosted by an upper-classman
with a "Hey! Rat!" he re­sponded
quickly with a "Beat South­ern!"
As soon as a Freshman reach­ed
the main campus he began to run
to class, conducting himself in this
manner all morning when not in a
building.
It seems that this scheme is-a great
one, for it certainly pepped things up
on the campus at a time when acti­vities
seem to have a tendency to lag.
Through concentration for one day
on two words that mean a great deal
to every student here, the psycholo­gical
effect is just right for Auburn
students to go en masse to Montgom­ery,
to get behind their fighting team
and "Beat Southern!"
The season is just about to start
on the grid-iron for the Auburn Tig­ers,
and it seems quite natural to
hear the old familiar sound of: War-r
- r E-E-E-agle, E-E-Eat 'Em Up
Tigers," while still more often is
heard the cry of "BEAT SOUTH­ERN."
The Tiger is beginning to
growl for the first time this year,
and from the looks of things about
the Orange and Blue camp, this fe­rocious
sound will be heard in several
states in the South.
For the past week Coach Bohler
has put much time in ironing out
many of the kinks and mistakes of the
team, and now has every thing work­ing
very smoothly. With such/ a
large number of candidates out for
the team, the staff has been able to
take the whole squad through some
hard scrimmages by giving them-practice
on both offense and defense.
PROGRESS
One thousand copies of this
issue of the Plainsman will be

Another great improvement, the
new Bapist Church building, is near­ing
completion in the "Fair Village of
the Plains." The church when fin­ished
will be modern and up-to-date
in every respect. A pipe-organ, mod­ern
kitchen and dining room equip­ment
are to be installed. The dining
room is to be in the basement, the
first floor being taken up with the
main auditorium and Sunday School
rooms. The second floor is made up
of a spacious balcony and numerous
Sunday School and assembly rooms.
The contractors, Daniel Lumber
Co., of La- Grange, Ga., expect to fin­ish
the building by November 15, or
December 1. The estimated cost, in­cluding
equipment, is approximately
$90,000.00.
GREEK COUNCIL
FIRST MEETING
MASONIC LODGE TO
MEET ON TUESDAY
On next Tuesday night, at 7:30
o'clock the Auburn Lodge of A. F.
and A. M. will hold its first big get-together
of the season in the Masonic
Hall, over Upchurch's Store. Although
the meeting will be primarily a social
event, some regular business will be
attended to.
Talks will be made by Dr. Knapp
and other speakers of note. Refresh­ments
will be served by the Eastern
Star Ladies.
The Interfraternity Council held
its first meeting of the year on Sept­ember
23 at the Sigma Phi Sigma
house. Carol Porter, Lambda Chi,
presided. At this meeting, plans for
the opening dances were discussed.
Mr. Porter called for volunteers
among the various fraternities to turn
over their houses to the girls during
the Sophomore Prom. Those frater­nities
who will give house parties
during the dances are Lambda Chi,
S. A. E., K. A., Alpha Gamma Rho
and Pi K. A. - The Council asks that
one more fraternity volunteer to give
a house party during the coming set
of dances.
EXCUSED GAMES
The excused game schedule for the
1928 football season has been an­nounced
by Dr. Knapp to be as fol­lows
:
October 20—University of Mississ­ippi—
Birmingham.
November 3—University of Geoi--
gia—Columbus, Georgia.
The Georgia Tech game will be
played in Atlanta on Thanksgiving
Day, and therefore is automatically
excused.
will wonder what will be the first
line-up in the first game, but it is
not known yet. Coach Bohler has not
decided yet who he will let take the
various positions at the first of the
game, and will not announce it until
just before the game. He plans to
give every man an equal chance to
show his goods, and will show no par­tiality
in any sense of the word. He
has had five teams out on Drake field
every afternoon, all of which were
practically of the same strength.
Any one of these teams would be able
to put up a scrap that would be jus­tice
to an Auburn team, judging from
the way they have been showing up
at the recent skirmishes on Drake
Field.
Coach Bohler's System
The team that appears on the field
Friday night will be different from
any Tiger team that has been in ac­tion
in the last few years. This is
due to Coach Bohler, who has formed
an aggregation which takes to the air
for their means of offense. In all of
the practice tilts we have seen that
about four out of five plays will be
of the aerial type, and we have men
that can grab passes almost at will.
The ends who have outstanding abili­ty
are Alternate Captain Ingram, Du­Bose,
and Robinson. Not ony has
Coach Bohler been stressing the pass­ing
attack, but he has trained the
players to block and tackle much bet­ter
and harder, which is something
that has a great deal to do with win­ning
a game.
Strong Coaching Staff
We are very fortunate in having
such an able coaching staff this year
to help Coach Bohler with the team.

Hair-Shaving Is
An Outgrown Custom
The custom of shaving freshmen's hair
is on trial. The wisdom of this practice
is under question. There are two insti­tutions
in Alabama where newcomers are
deprived of their hair: Auburn and the
State Pen. At the latter, the measure was
originially a sanitary one, at Auburn it is
simply a custom, and it has been the com­mon
view here to hold sacred everything
that has been done before. We can plain­ly
see why convicts are shaved, and we
think that we see why Auburn Freshmen
are still subjected to such treatment. The
custom has not been abandoned here be­cause
Auburn men have refused to look
at the matter in the clear light of un­biased
reason.
__A_jL^uraj_p.henomeno_n in the growth of
customs. Customs which originate under
certain conditions are existent. However,
it is a common failing to develop incon­sistently;
we stride forward in some things
and lag behind the time in "other instances.
When a school has developed as Auburn
has done, along so many lines and to such
a great extent, the outworn customs which
we drag along are readily evident. Condi­tions
have changed, and hair-cutting is ab­solutely
incompatible with present-day
conditions here.
There is no virtue in observing a custom
simply because it is traditional. Only the
tradition whose existence can be rationally
defended should be held inviolable, and to
adhere to one which is not only irrational,
but positively harmful, is either very wrong
or very foolish. Let's stop and think about
it, men of Auburn! Is there any good rea­son
why we should force the freshmen to
shave their heads?
. The male of the species starts out in
life handicapped by being less beautiful
than the opposite sex. Any attempt to in­crease
this handicap is very unfair, it
seems to us. We are not trying to be
facecious; to increase the ugliness of six
hundred men for a period of three months
is not beneficial to the school. The dances
at every other southern school are very at­tractive
to the spectator's eye. The Au­burn
opening dances are unfailingly
marred by a bunch of thuggish-looking
men on the floor. Their hair has been
shaved. Otherwise, they would be pre­sentable.
A new day is dawning at the Village of
the Plains. Modern methods are coming
in vogue. Modern methods of thought
should become evident. The intelligent
man no longer holds sacred an outgrown
custom simply because his predecessors did
so. He inquires into the reasons for the
the custom, and if they are adequate he
observes it, if not he discards it. Are Au­burn
men incapable of clear thinking? We
think not.
Of course we have with us always the
misguided youth who claims to have a rea­son
for hair cutting. He glibly explains
that the custom is a leveler, that it is demo­cratic,
that it takes a man off his "high
horse." That should be the most convinc­ing
reason to abolish it. A man's greatest
. possession is his individuality. The differ­ences
in men are the creators of self-res­pect,
without which man is helpless. If
one man has a good opinion of himself it is
not the affair of his neighbor, and any at­tempt
to interfere with it by massed
opinion is an imposition, the more con­temptible
because it is cowardly. The de­fender
of hair-cutting has a very weak
case, it seems to us, even a case that will
defeat itself if examined rationally.
Therefore we appeal to the thinking men
on the campus to put a little thought on
this question of hair-cutting. It is too late
to prevent most of it this year, but we can
start by making no more men cut their
hair, and next year do away with the cus­tom
and point with pride to our freshmen
as an indication of the advancement of Au­burn.
Now is the time to join in the pro­gressive
movement—now is the time when
we can do so and reflect honor on our­selves,
later we may have to, and accrue no
honor from it. Think on these things, men
of Auburn! We are confident that you
will use reason to overthrow blind folly.
Gentlemanly Conduct Is
Best Type of Auburn Spirit
The conduct of Auburn students seems
to be a topic of general discussion. And
since the football season opens within a
few days, the thought of how the students
are going to conduct themselves with the
beginning of a new era in football and in
the college life creeps in. One wonders
whether it is going to" be the carefree non­chalance
which has marked their appear­ances
in the past or whether it is going to
be a dignified conduct?
The students have a great deal to think
about when they go to a trip now, for the
changing times demand changed customs.
In the past it has been usual for the stu­dents
to have a hilariously good time—hi­larious
for themselves ^and without any
thought whatsoever as to the property of
others or the amount of trouble others
may be caused by such action. The pres­ent
time, however, calls for a change, for
the honor of the school must be considered.
Some things must be considered by the
students so that their actions will help
to make Auburn more popular with the
people of the state and to also help
strengthen their belief in her.
For an example, the night game in Mont­gomery
can be taken. The people of Mont­gomery
always want Auburn students to
have a great time in that city. That is
natural as many of the residents are
graduates of Auburn. However, they do
not apreciate it when the students do dam­age
to property, such as collecting souve­nirs,
breaking windows, and taking pos­session
of department stores. It wouldn't
be so bad if the students would pay for
the damage done, but as a rule, the man
suffering the damage has to pay for it as
a student seldom does.
the residents of Montgomery, we should
conduct ourselves as those with the true
Auburn Spirit will. We should have a
good time, but not in a reckless and de­structive
way, for that will cause those
suffering damage to turn against Auburn.
They would turn against Auburn because
we are judged as being typical of the col­lege.
If the boys destroy other people's
property, then they will destroy college
property. For that reason citizens are not
-«nxious to put their money in the way of
taxes and donations in an enterprise from
which those that are supposed to be de­riving
benefits are destroying. And no
one can condemn the citizens for taking
that stand.
The students can, therefore, help Au­burn
if they will try to make a good im­pression
and if they will have an enjoyable
time rather than a destructive time. They
can also help Auburn if they will tell the
people about the new Auburn instead of
lamenting on the old Auburn. This proud
boasting can be done honestly and without
apologies to anyone.
Hazing a Childish
Occupation For A n y Man
What purpose does hazing serve in a
college and why is it still tolerated? It
certainly does not answer any need that
could not just as easily be accomplished
by other means. If it is a useful institu­tion
why is it frowned upon in some Uni­versities
and encouraged in others?
It is interesting to note that this is a
much discussed issue. In a recent edition
of the Montgomery Advertiser the follow­ing
appeared:
"On what principle of discipline do
school and college authorities justify the
right of a group of older students to paddle
or otherwise mistreat a beginner?
"Asking these questions one will hear
vague assertions of the need for 'taking
the starch out of beginners and 'putting
-them in their proper place,' etc.
"But it cannot be that all beginners need
to have the starch taken out of them. It
cannot be shown that the younger mem­bers
of a student body are disposed to
high-hat the older members, or that they
are disposed to conduct themselves offen­sively
toward older students.
"Even so, we cannot see that it is any
part of the duty or privileges of the older
students to gang the younger ones and dis­cipline
them according to their superficial
and silly ideas of discipline.
"If a student at school or college is ob­noxious
toward any other student, whether
older than he or not, he can be held to ac­countability

the world outside of school. Is there any
sound reason' why the rule should be sus­pended

"Finally, the enforcement of discipline

even indefensibe, for them to entrust this
imaginary duty to irresponsible children
and youths.
"It offends the dignity of a child or
youth to be humiliated by gangs." We see
no virtue in a practice which subjects one
to the pain of a paddling or other indig­nity—
and there are many indignities of
which the thoughtless young are capable—
at the hands of a number of young fel­lows.
The fact that the authors of these
indignities and measures of discipline mean

the first few weeks in school and college
where hazing is tolerated the young be­ginners
are nervously occupied with
schemes of eluding their pursuers and won­dering
what will happen next. They should
be at ease and diligently pursuing their
school duties.
"We marvel that school and college au­thorities
will tolerate such silly, and to us,
obnoxious, practices. Certainly they could
extirpate it if they had the will to do so."

Honor Systems
As a Blind
The inefficiency of the honor system is
forcibly cast into the foreground by the re­quest
of the Yale Student Council that
such system be abolished. This demand
grew out of general campus feeling that
an honor pledge is not effective, and those
who did obey the rules would not report
those who were not adverse to cribbing.
In a small institution the honor system
may possibly work, but among the colleges
and universities.of larger enrollment there
is not enough personal contact between
the individual students to incite interest in
the other man's morals.
The University of Virginia is the only
Southern University which can lay claim
to an efficient honor system. It is true
that most Southern institutions have some
from or another of the system, but in the
majority of these colleges it is used mere­ly
to relieve the responsible parties of
their obligations to see that students do
not cheat. * It is not a question of giving
a student the opportunity of self-discipline.
We have yet to observe the man or woman
who derived any degree of self-control
from an honor system.
There is less cheating in Auburn since
the removal of the honor system and there
are fewer attempts at cheating. There is
only one remedy for cheating, and that is
to impress dishonest students with the fact
that they only hurt and victimize them­selves.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
After all is said and done the finest and
serenest philosophy in the world is to
think honestly, deal justly and love your
fellow men. Why may these not be the
product of education, at least in part? They
are the product of lives of experience.
f -
Most often things succeed which are the
result of plan.. Plan, a guiding purpose
and a lot of hard work will accomplish won­ders.
How about Auburn, will not the
same thing bring results? A fine, clean,
sportsmanlike foot ball team with good
training and a lot of hard work will win.
An institution devoted to the task of mak­ing
this world a better place in which to
live by the kind of education which not
only trains physically and intellectually but
also develops the best there is in us and in­spires
us to put forth a real effort Will
grow and gather strength. More land,
newer and better buildings and equipment,
a larger faculty, better training; these are
all good, but after all hard work on things
worth while, men and women of character,
devotion to real tasks are the things which
inspire confidence.
* * * * *
The world rates us for what it sees in
us, not always surface appearances, but
more often an estimate made up from
words, actions, life. An Institution is like
an individual only infinitely more compli­cated
because it is composed of thousands
of individuals. What we do, what we say
and what we live is the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute in part. In the long run the
supreme desire of the vast majority to do
right, to love truth and despise the untruth,
to follow the right way when the way is
pointed out, constitutes the greatest safe­guard
the individual or the instittuion may
have.

BECOMING CONDUCT IN MONTGOMERY
As the students will all be going to Montgomery for the fracas this week end,
it will be necessary to remind you of a few things.
1. In blinding a freight no more than fifty students are allowed on each car.
2. If beating your way on the passenger, crawl under the seat but do not
let your feet stick out in the aisle as it annoys the conductor.
3. If you are honest and bought your ticket or got caught and had to buy
it, let everyone know it and they will think that you have lots of money.
4. As the hotels are not furnishing corn for the students this year it will be
necessary to take your own.
5. Don't be afraid to get lit as there are numerous cops who will take care
of you. If you get boisterous they will put you in a nice little room with bars
around it so no* one can get to you and bother you.
6. When you take your girl to the game Friday night remember that you
are at a football game and not a wrestling match. Girls, remember no biting in
the clinches. Toe holds barred. Use the head lock. Best results can be obtained
in this manner.
7. Don't try to meet the girl, next to you because her husband might be on
the other side.

S? BOOK REVIEW «
"SEVEN DAY'S WHIPPING"
By John Biggs, Jr.
Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, $2.00
"Who can tell what any man will do?"
"Seven Days Whipping" is a profound
psychological study of a judge, Stawell
Ball LaPlace, who for a day and night
under the nervous strain of a succession of
trying and stormy events has his usually
dutiful, well-regulated and peaceful life
turbulently upset by his own deep reser­voir
of ethnic memories and primitive emo­tions
underlieing his conscious civilized
placidity. Thwarted by a primitive man,
an indian named Seven Days Whipping, his
own primordial hate and fear surged into
a billow of momentary murderous ferocity.
"The air seemed full of sound, as if he and
the incredible visitant before him were
swinging toward the brink of a cascade
into an abyss into which light could never
penetrate and only the mist of their emo­tions
would be left." But the Indian was
not severely wounded, and the judge's
remorse gradually subsided. But he never
understood fully the cause of this flood of
trouble, his depths of elemental barbarity.
One thinks of the personality of Ben-venuto
Cellini, of the mystery tales of Poe,
and of Stevenson's "Markheim," and "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" in connection with
this startling study.
Mrs. Stawell Ball LaPlace, incidentally,
also exemplifies Mary Austin's theory that
women know more by intuition than men
do by effort.
There is also some timely criticism of
the legal system: "The Jaw he felt, was a
sharp sword in his hands. It migljt cut not
only the offender but him who wielded it.
A matter of nice adjustment arose before
him in every case. He must not cut too
far but far enough.—Justice he sometimes
knew to be a shadow which shortly ceased
to be even that, appositively a straw which
when grasped became a bar of iron with
which a man's life might be beaten out."
The magnificent portrayal of the storm
which imbues itself in the judge's stormy
experiences is comparable in its racking
gloomy lividity with the sea storm which
crazed the Chinese in Conrad's "Typhoon."
By all means, if you care for good ar­tistic
writing, for veracious psychology, for
a moving vivid mystery story, unusual in
that it evolves from the mystery of human
personalities, read "Seven Days Whipping."
—P. B. Cole.
THE OLD DARK HOUSE
I should like also to call your attention
to a novel newly published entitled "The
Old Dark House." From the title you will
have guessed that this is a mystery story;
and you are right. It is a mystery story
of a somewhat new variety; there is not
a murder committed on the first page, as
is true with three out of every four mys­tery
stories that are published. But this
is not to say that there is a lack of exciting
reading in this story. There is that, and
much beside. For this story is also un­usual
in that it is written with a great
deal of literary distinction, and that, I may
say, is also seldom true of the ordinary run
of mystery stories. The characters talk
like intelligent beings, and the description
is written with style, as well as being vivid
and shivery. All this is because the author
is J. B. Priestly, a young English essayist
and novelist, who has before been known
as a graceful writer and an accomplished
critic.
The scene of this story is laid in North
Wales, a locality that in itself is a promise
for a tense and interesting tale. Three of
the characters are driving afong a dark,
mountainous road in the midst of a terri­fic
storm. Suddenly the storm increases in
violence, and they find it impossible to
proceed. Luckily they find shelter in a
huge, rambling old house that is as full of
shadows and queer people as any dwelling
Poe ever described. What goes on in that
old dark house during the rest of the
night is the story; to tell it to any possible
reader is a shooting offense. Perhaps it
is enough to say that it kept me up and
shivering until after eleven.
An extremely interesting advertising de­vice
has been used with this book. One
reads up until page 158, where things are
getting very tense indeed. And at that
point the rest of the pages are sealed. If
you are able to resist the story and lay
it down from that point unread, take back
to the bookseller and get your money back.
But break the seal and there isn't a chance.
But I dare anybody to read that far and
not break the seal without a single thought
except to get the pages turned as rapidly
as possible. That's what I did. "The Old
Dark House" is a notable example of mys­tery
story, and one to be recommended.
MEDITATIONS
ON THIS AND THAT
25? lupiter 7- Tluvius
V
Most problems are settled for us by
the stern law of necessity.
THE authorities at Northwestern Uni­versity
passed a rather unique rule
- the other day. They decided that
hereafter the co-eds were to be limited to
a ratio of 450 to 333 with the men on the
long end. 450 males to each 333 females
is a fair proportion, in the eyes of North­western.
I wonder if the unequal ratio is made
necessary by the fear that the women may
eventually dominate a perfectly good male
institution? Or do the authorities think
that the co-eds are interesting only so long
as there are fewer of them than there are
males?
' What will the university- of 1938 be?
Will it be a large group of female students
with a few courageous men hanging around
hunting an education? I don't believe so.
The male has always, been and is still
more interested in improving his mind
than is the female. She is naturally not
a seeker of education, as her field is the
making of a home. The action of North­western
will not be necessary everywhere
unless women, change greatly.
* * * * *
AND there is a new columist on the
page now. Greetings! Another
column should be a great relief to
the fed who read the Plainsman editorial
page—after the field has been occupied
exclusively by Meditations.
I received a letter the other day from a
student who evidently reads the page oc­casionally,
asking me to fill up some space
with my idea of the presidential campaign.
Thanks! At least somebody believes that
I can have an idea. But maybe he wanted
to criticise it. Anyway, I can't use good
space blowing off about Al and Herbert—
enough hot air is wasted on them as it is—
and I can't argue prohibition; not after
going to college three years, nor can I de­bate
religion; not after seeing religious
people fight over a presidential election.
The column must beg off.
* * * * *
I ALMOST got into an interesting liter­ary
argument the other day; we were
discussing poetry and he expressed a
dislike of James Weldon Johnson's God's
Trombones. Now those sonorous negro
sermons in verse appeal to me greatly, and
I prepared for a good discussion, but he
confessed that his dislike was engendered
by the fact that the author was a negro.
There's literary taste for you.
Which remind me of the boy who said
that he had read Shakspere's The Tempest,
and John Barrymore's play wasn't very
much like the copy that he had read. You
just can't depend on these movies for ac­curacy
any more!
* * * * *
I HEARD several flattering remarks
about the Cajoler while in Montgomery
last week. Several people commented
on the high moral tone of the magazine
favorably. It only goes to prove that in­decency
is not a necessary attribute of a
college humorous publication. The fact
that there is much rivalry among the col­lege
comics in getting by with obscenity
has caused a tendency toward the risque
that is rather extreme in some cases. We
are fortunate in having a magazine which
does not enter into this rivalry; it is not
necessary, and is usually not justified by
the results.
Of course the lower sides of life and
humor may be made . attractive in litera­ture,
but attractive writing does not de­pend
on filth. This is not realized by
many who have read some literary master­pieces
whose moral tone was low but whose
artistic value was high. It is a distorted
view which jumps to the conclusion that
the merit lies in the tone and not in the
handling.
BARTER
Life has loveliness to sell—
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Climbing fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.
Life has loveliness to sell—
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.
Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count for cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
County many a yearof strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been or could be.
—Sara Teasdale.

If the judge could read the thoughts in our

That most of the folk in the land would be

Or jailed for contempt of court.

At a conference held at the Capi­tol
Saturday morning, September 22,
Gov. Graves, F. M. Dunwoody, com­missioner
of agriculture, and Prof.
L. N. Duncan, of the agricultural ex­tension
service at Auburn, discussed
final details connected with the com­pletion
and putting into service of
the big radio broadcasting station
through which agricultural news, crop
quotations, and other information
useful to farmers will be broadcast
o'ver the state, throughout the South,
and to all other points east of the
Rocky Mountains.
The broadcasting station, which
will be located on Red Mountain, near
Birmingham, will be the most power­ful
in the South, with the largest
broadcasting radius, and will be one
of the most complete and modern
plants of its kind in the country.

AUBURN BAND IS RATED AS ONE
OF BEST MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS
The Auburn Band, oldest college
band in the south is now entering
upon the greatest period in its his­tory.
Musical critics have declared
it to be the greatest college musical
organization in the south.
In 1897 Professor Fullan founded
what is now the present organization.
In the old days it was only a drum
and bugle corps but later more in­struments
were added. After a num­ber
of years under the baton of the
founder the musicians were tutored
by Professor Albert Thomas who in
turn passed the direction to P. R.
Bidez the present Director. Although
not officially ocnnected with the or­ganization
both of the former di­rectors
are actively engaged in work
for the band and in musical circles.
During the 1928-29 season the Au-'
burn band will play in Montgomery,
Birmingham, New Orleans, Colum­bus,
Atlanta and Mobile. Each year
the band makes four football trips,
and spends a week at Mardi Gras in
Mobile. As soon as the new radio
broadcasting station WAPI is com­pleted
in the Magic City the Auburn
Band will be featured in radio pro­grams.
The preeminence of the organiza­tion
is a tribute to the founder, Pro­fessor
M. Thomas Fullan and to the
work of his successors who have held
the baton.
The present officers of the band

MOST BIRDS OF PREY
At the United States Signal School
at Fort Monmouth, N. J., carrier
pigeons are being equipped with Chi­nese
whistles as an experiment to
protect them from wild hawks and
other birds of prey and from trained
falcons in war time. The whistles
are attached to the pigeon's tail.
While the birds are in motion a weird
noise is made that, it is thought, will
drive away any attacking bird of
prey.
The Oriental fancier equipped his
pigeons with tail whistles for amuse­ment.
Sending messages by means of cai--
rier pigeons was one of the earliest
methods of communication. It is
known that the homing pigeons were
domesticated and used in the fifth
Egyptian dynasty, about 3000 B. C.
In the World War, in spite of every
modern invention, the pigeon was
used in many instances as a way of
communication when other methods
failed. When Major Whittlesey's
men were cut offf rom the remainder
of their division, news of the "Lost
Battalion" was carried to headquart­ers
by pigeons.
During the World War more than
500,000 homing pigeons were used

Long Runs and Passes
Feature Soldier Defeat
Auburn defeated the Ft. Benning
Soldiers 23 to 0 Tuesday afternoon
on Drake Field. Coach Bohler used
almost all of his first string men,
while Ft. Benning used about twenty-three
men. Stewart, Ft. Benning
tackle, suffered a broken nose, but
no others were injured during the
fray.
The game was featured by long
runs by Callahan, Chappele, and
Snider and passes by H. Long and
Tuxworth.
First Quarter
Auburn kicked off to Ft. Benning
who returned the ball to their 30
yard line. Ft. Benning failed to
gain and punted to Long who was
stopped'on his 48 yard line. A pass
Long to Crawford netted 15 yards
and on two more plays Long made
another first down. Then a pass to
Crawford was good for a touchdown,
but the play was called back and Au­burn
penalized 15 yards. When they
failed to gain, the ball went t o ' F t.
Benning; but they punted over the
goal line. Here Auburn started a
march toward their first score. Sell­ers,
Long, and Crawford advanced
the ball to 46 yard line as the quar­ter
ended.
Second Quarter
Sellers and Long continued to drive
the ball down the field; and when
Auburn reached the 17 yard line, In­gram
kicked a goal from placement
to put Auburn in the lead 3 to 0.
- . Ingram kicked off over the goal
line."^J?t. Benning's ball on their
own. 20 yarcTifn^ After an exchange
of punts, the half e n ^ d with the ball
in Auburn's possession on ~Fk_ Ben­ning's
20 yard line.
Third Quarter
Immediately at the beginning of
the second half Auburn started drive
for a touchdown. Mosely returned
the kick-off to his 40 yard line. A
pass, Tuxworth to Callahan, netted
-i&J^d&^p.seJLy^rnade another first
worth made 3 and Mosely 8 and Tux­worth
carried it remaining 5 yards
for a touchdown; but he failed to
kick goal.
Auburn kicked off to Ft. Benning
who, failing to gain, punted to Mosely
in mid-field. A pass and line buck
netted first down. Then Callahan
made a beautiful 35 yard run to
place the ball on the 2 yard line, and
Mosely bucked it over. Tuxworth
passed over the goal to Mosely for
the extra point. The score was now
Auburn 16, Ft. Benning 0.
Chappele returned the kick-off 32
yards to mid-field. During the rest
of the quarter the ball rocked back
and forth with the ball in Ft. Ben­ning's
possession on 40 yard line.
Fourth Quarter
Ft. Benning- made two first downs
to put the ball on Auburn's 25 yard
line, but here they failed to gain and
the ball went over. On the first play
Chappele ran 31 yards through cen­ter.
Then a pass Long to Crawford
netted 10 yards, but here Auburn
lost the ball on downs. Ft. Benning
punted to Long who advanced the
ball to Ft. Benning's 35 yard line.
At this point Coach Bohler substituted
an entirely new backfield, and the
first play Snider took the ball on a
reverse play and ran the remaining
distance to goal for a touchdown.
Tuxworth dropped-kicked a goal for
the extra point. The final score was
Auburn 23, Ft. Benning 0.
Auburn made 17 first downs to 4
for Ft. Benning. The visitors brought'
a good team to Auburn, but their in­ability
to form a sustained drive
caused their downfall.
Capt. Carter, Taylor, DuBosfi and
Ingram performed well in line while
Crawford, Sellers, Long, Tuxworth,
and Chappele showed up well in the
backfield.

TIGER GROWL
The Opelika High school has com­pleted
the second week of practice
and while there are several veterans
who have not returned, Coach "Diz­zy"
Pruett feels sure that he will have
a good team, for he has several who
are showing up well . "Dizzy" is an
old Auburn football player, and was
one of the best linemen in the coun­try
year before last.
VARSITY PRACTICING HARD
AS FIRST TILT DRA WS NEAR
When the Auburn Tigers pack
their footbal togs Thursday night and
journey to the Capital City for their
initial game with Birmingham-South­ern
Panthers they will have completed
one of the most successful four weeks
of training, before the season opens,
that has ever been seen at the "Vil­lage
of the Plains."
And one of the many things that
has proven it was the game with Fort
Benning last Tuesday afternoon when
the wearers of the Orange and Blue
completely out-classed the Army boys
to win the first game for the Tigers
since the 1926 campaign. Although
this was only called a practice game
it was nevertheless a real one.
The new devices that Bohler used
to whip his squad into the best of
condition for this season have also
proven to be very satisfactory in the
making of a successful gridiron team.
These devices were composed xof a
bucking board for the backfield, a
bucking board for the line, a dummy
to tackle and block, a stiff arm de­vice
that he invented himself, and the
square boxes to make the men step
high. These things were used every
evening the Tigers practiced, some­times
before • they scrimmaged and
sometimes after they scrimmaged.
The bucking board for the backfield
gave them a low drive that they could
not have gotten any other way, and
assisted in making them hold the ball
which was their hardest task last
year. The bucking board the line
had to buck was nearly the size of a
box car and I know it looked like one
to the linemen when they got through
pushing it around the field for about
an hour: This gave them a drive
strong enough to mighty nearly push
over any gridiron forward wall. The
stiff arm devices have proven very
successful to Porter Callahan and
Howell Long for they have smashed
quite a few of the players noses in
the scrimmages. But smashed most
of them in the Fort Benning game
Tuesday. The high stepping boxes
have also given great satisfaction and
it was proven by Howard Chappelle
who stepped off 30 yards in the Ben­ning
game from one of the kickoffs
for the longest gain on a kickoff for
the evening. And only a few plays
later he marched through the line for
another 30 yards.
The coaching staff that has been
headed by Bohler is composed of:
"Slick" Moulton, "Boozer" Pitts, Red
Brown, Pop Paterson, John Barely-corn
Shirey, and Coach Burham
"Sheriff" Lee. All these coaches are
former Auburn stars with the excep­tion
of Bohler and Lee. Lee did not
arrive until the 18th of this month on
account of playing baseball in the Sal­ly
League. Lee is a graduate of
The other night Cramton Bowl was
duly opened for the season, when
Clovexdale High and Ramer High met
there for th*e~ opening game for both
of those institutions. -It might have
been called a game of Tiger against
i i g e r , ror - JJUIX jucr ituueii is uuacn
of Cloverdale and "Jelly" Self holds
that title at Ramer. This game is al­ways
a good one for there is so much
rivalry between the two schools, and
the coaches are real old Auburn
Tigers, who played side by side under
the Orange and Blue colors for four
years. This year the Cloverdale
gridsters managed to run away with
the game, winning by a score of 25
to 0, but they had to fight for every
yard of the ground.
Tiger Head Coach
Another old Tiger has returned to
the lair this week, and appeared on
Drake Field for football practice Mon­day
afternoon. I guess everyone
knows by now that it is nobody but
our own Weemie Baskin, who., has
spent the summer abroad with the
Olympic team. He is in good physical
condition, and will be a big addition
to the football squad if he will be
allowed to play this year. He still
has another year of football at the
Plains, and it will be remembered that
he was one of our best ends year be­fore
last.
COACH BOHLER
Early in the Spring of 1928 a new
man appeared on the campus at Au­burn
to take over the reins of head
coach of the Tigers. This man was
Coach George M. Bohler, who had
previously been head coach at Missis­sippi
College, and had turned out sev­eral
championship teams at that in­stitution.
He set to work immediately
to giving the Spring training squad
practice in handling the pigskin, and
put special emphasis on passing and
punting. This training was carried
on until about a week before school
was out, and much good was derived
from it, for Coach Bohler got some
idea of the material that he had on
hand, and got to know the majority
of the players.
When training started this month,
Coach Bohler had the field in good
condition, and .had it so equipped that
the candidates could get the most out
of every practice. From the start
he has put a great part of his time
on teaching the team to pass, for he
figures that a passing attack is one
of the best ways to gain ground, when
you have a man who can throw the
ball, and ends to catch it. While at
Mississippi College the pass was his
favorite means of offensive play, and
in our present Coach Lee, he had a
four letter-man that could really
throw the ball with great accuracy.
The whole student body has be­come
closely attached to Coach Bohler,
for he shows an interest in all the
students. He encourages everyone to
come out for athletics, and does not
sKow any partiality in selecting his
beams, uiTb 5* * ~~ —»» .i«v ouuic viicuicc
Another old Auburn custom that he
has brought back- is that of having
open practice every afteYfloon . This
gives us a much better chance -of
learning the names of the players, and
the positions that they play, and
Coach Bohler wants everybody to
learn the signals and where the play
is supposed to go, so that we can tell
who has made a mistake when we lose
yardage.
With such a man as this at the
helm of the team, .Auburn is bound
to come back into her own, and win
game after game, like we have done
in the past. "We are all behind you,
Coach Bohler, and will be in Mont­gomery
to help beat Southern."
Percy Beard Leads
Auburn Harriers
In 1928-29 Season
The varsity track team has started
early training- under the direction of
Coach Hutsell and the team should be
in prime condition for the dual meets
and other events that will be staged
later in the year. Competition for
places on the varsity will be keen
this year as most of the men who are
out have seen service in either varsi­ty
meets or on the Freshman outfit
of last year.
Captain Percy Beard will lead the
the Tiger warriors into action this
year along with al-Captain Virgin.
Both of these men should attract con­siderable
attention in Southern Con­ference
circles this season. Other
leading contenders are: Burnett,
Galeiard, Anderson, Tinsley, Willis,
DeBardelben, Hughes, Rutland, Wein-baum,
Nunn, Mathews, Harmon .Dav­is
and Jones. Several letter men
of last season's squad are still out
for football. These include Nick
Carter, Sam Robinson, Granger, and
several others.
The cross-countfy team is also
working out daily and despite the
loss of several valuable men should
make a good showing this year.
Helms and Teague are probably the
most experienced men to report so
far. Others who are showing up well
are: McLendon, Hicks, Wilson, Bot­toms,
Wilcox, Brogden, Dyal, Shanks,
Pitts, Gray, Kummer, Okley, and
Hughes.

The "Pee Wee' Tigers are prac­ticing
hard for their first game of
the season which will be played at a
close date. This team is the Lee
County High School and is being
coach by 0. W. Bynum. He has only
three lettermen back, but has much
new material from which he hopes to
get a good team .
Mississippi where he earned his let­ter
in four major sports under Coach
Bohler being Captain of Football and
Baseball. Shirey was captain of Au-burns
1923 football team and all-southern
halfback. He returned to
get his masters degree and was ad­ded
to the coaching staff when he got
here. All these men have played an
important part in the making of the
1928 football team and we feel that
it is going to be a great improvement
over the past few teams.
Passes have seemed to be the main
play on the Tigers list this year and
it has been stated that they will have
the "passingest" team that has ever
played under the Orange and Blue.
Bohler believes in his passes and has
given them enough to do nothing but
pass for a whole game. He has given
them a pass that they can throw
from any formation and if any team
don't believe they are going to use
them just let them sit back and watch
the oval fly from Tuxworth's and
Long's hands. The average number
of passes completed in the game
against Benning was two-thirds and
this enough to prove they will be a
success.
Bohler has been paying more atten­tion
to the quarterback position than
any other position on the team. And
he is going to put his best all-round
man at this post for he is g6ing to
be the main cog of the Plainsmen
eleven this year. Frank Tuxworth,
the veteran quarter of year before
last, and Howell Long who perform­ed
at the end position last year are
both making strong bids for this post,
while Porter Callahan, and Gus Win-go
are doing the same. Tuxworth
was out of school last year on account
of illness but is back this year in
better health than he has ever been,
with exception of a slight gash he
received in scrimmage last week when
he bumped heads with Jim Crawford.
Long was shifted to the backfield
from the end position and has been
showing up well at tossing and kick­ing
the oval. He has also been
handling Bohlers new barking sys­tem
in fine style, in the scrimmages
this past week . Gus Wingo, signal
caller for the Freshmen last year has
also been showing up well at this
post, while Porter Callahan has been
doing likewise. Callahan will be play­ing
his second year with the Plains­men
this year and should be one of
the best men the Tigers will have this
year.
Snider and Baskin have reported
to the Tiger camp since practice
opened September 3.
Where Conference
Teams Play This
Week on Gridiron
A few of the Southern Conference
teams Open up this week, but the fol­lowing
week almost all of the teams
in this section of the country will
swing into action for the first time,
in Montgomery we will see the
mighty Auburn Tigers open the sea­son
with Birmingham-Southern.
North Carolina meets Wake Forest
at Chapel Hill, and North Carolina
State plsj"?- Elon at Raleigh.
Clemson and Davidson lock horns
at Clemson, which is the Tigers sec­ond
game of the year.
Over in Starksville, Mississippi, the
Mississippi Aggies encounter Ouachi­ta
as the opening event.
South Carolina will play Chicago
in Chicago.
Another of our rivals starts the
season off in New Orleans when Tu­lane
meets Louisiana Normal.
Tennesse plays Maryville at Knox-ville,
while Vandy and the Universi­ty"
of Chattanooga open up at Chat­tanooga.
Other games will be between Vir­ginia
and Randolph-Macon, V. M. I.
and Richmond, V. P. I. and and Roa­noke,
and Washington and Lee will
face Lynchburg at Lexington.
The majority of these games are
with small schools, and the Confer­ence
teams will have little trouble
in .beating them.
The third week of practice finds
Coaches "Red" Brown, "Slick" Moul­ton,
and John "Barleycorn" Shirey
working the Rats hard in an effort to
get them in shape for the opening
game with Birmingham-Southern
Frosh October 5th. The team is be­ginning
to shape up well and should
have a well-balanced line and a heavy
but fast backfield . The big squad
has been divided into a group of forty
men who are receiving the most at­tention.
These men all have good
high school records. The rest of the
squad in learning the fundamentals
from "Pop" Paterson; and as they
show ability, they will be graduated
to the first group.
Thursday and Friday of last week
Coach Brown divided his men into
two teams that scrimmaged for about
an hour together. Both defense and
offense were stressed during the
workout. The Frosh are using iden­tically
the same plays as the Varsity
and are beginning to lo»k rather for­midable
.
Saturday the Rats went up on
Drake field for a battle with the Var­sity.
They were not allowed to car­ry
the ball, but their efforts to stop
Varsity were certainly good, for they
fought every inch of the way. The
scrimmage first found the second
string Rats pitted against the scrubs
but ended with the first string Rats
battling the Varsity. There will be
some changes in the lineup of the
Rats before the final selection is
made.
Monday found only the first squad
out as the rest were not excused from
ROTC. Coach Moulton was instruct­ing
the ends in the art of snagging
passes and was also showing the line
a few tricks. In the meantime Coach­es
Brown and Shirey were showing
the backs how to carry the ball and
how to pass on the run. Leo Young
called signals for a while and then
Davidson was moved from fullback
to quarterback because of his ability
to pass like a bullet .
Tuesday was confined to a light
workout and signal drill. The Frosh
went up on Drake field and watched
the Tigers beat Fort Benning 23 to
0. Then the squad was divided into
three teams which ran signals for
about an hour.
The hopes of the Freshmen were
given quite a boost Monday by the
arrival of "Breezy" Winn. "Breezy,"
as you'll remember, entered Auburn
last February and pitched for the
Rat baseball team. Last fall he star­red
with Boys High of Atlanta as
a halfback and should materially help
the Frosh this year. Winn is also
known for his ability to pass a foot­ball.
"Frock" Pate and Davidson are
getting quite a bit of yardage in
punting the agate. Egge, McRae, and
Andrews look good at end while
Mann, Hodnett, "Pebble" Stone, and
Craddock are showing up well at
tackle. For guards we have Simp-kins,
Holdcroft, and Bush fighting it
out and at center we have Collins
and Jordan . Mike Reedy, Young, and
Hatfield are calling signals in prac­tice.
Pate, "Firpo" Smith, Harding,
and Phillips have been going good at
half; at fullback Davidson and Ham­ilton
seem to have the edge. Both
Davidson and Frock Pate are tripple
threat men.
Practice during the next few days
and the early part of next week will
probably consist of blocking and tack­ling,
signal drill, and scrimmaging.
There will probably be several battles
with the Varsity mixed in.
The outlook for the coming season
is exceedingly promising and barring
accidents the Frosh should have a
true Auburn team; that is, a winning
team.

Tulane
Down in New Orleans there is much
discussion as to who will be in the
first line-up for the Greenies when
they start off the season next Satur­day
with Louisiana Normal College.
Coach Bierman has had several teams
in action during the last scrimmagees,
and will soon have his starting team
ready for action.
In the backfield he will have three
veterans who have seen service be­fore.
These are Billy Banker and
Ford Seeuws at the halfback posi­tions,
and at quarter will be Ike Arm­strong.
One of last years scrubs will
likely hold the fullback job, and is
known as Hooper. He has plenty of
weight and power.
In the line they have three candi­dates
for center. Wall is one of the
best centers, while he will have to
fight hard to take the place from
Evans, who has been playing in that
capacity all this season. Roberts and
Ford are showing up well on end,
while Captain Ruker and McCance
will play opposite each other at tackle.
The guards will come from either
Oelkers, Butard, Mangum or Boden-ger,
all of whom are good. In addi­tion
to these men there are candidates
for all the other positions.
Clemson
Last Saturday Josh Cody's Clemson
Tigers went into action for the first
time, and came out with a victory of
30 to 0 over Newberry College. The
game was a Tiger victory from start
to finish, with the loosers rarely ever
threatening to score.
The outstanding Clemson player
was Pluto Davis who made a thrilling
run of 35 yards to touchdown. He
plays fullback.
Clemson made 15 first downs while
Newberry was only credited with one.
Both the line and backfields of Clem­son
team were working with great
effectiveness, and the line got the
jump on the opponents every time.
Captain Pressley, Swofford, and Ma-gill
were leading linemen.
The Tigers used an aerial attack
many times during the affair, and
netted good gains. Three of these
passes netted a total of 85 yards.
They failed to kick any goals for the
extra points.
The game was in the best sun,
and showed that the players were in
good condition to standup under the
heat.
The men scoring touchdowns for
Clemson were: Pitts, Davis, McMil­lan
and Hane (2) .
Georgia Tech
One of the big contenders for the
Southern Conference Championship
this year is Georgia Tech, according
to some of the best sports writers in
the South. They will have a strong
team, but we must remember that
they have a rather tough schedule,
and a lot can happen in a week to
dampen their hopes. However, at
the present time things seem very
bright with the Tornado, for they
have gotten down to hard scrimmages
and there are none on the injured
list. Then too the team is further
advanced now than it has been at this
time of the year in a good while.
One of the talks of the school is
the way "Dutch" Faisst can handle
the ball and they way he can dodge
would-be tacklers by side stepping and
twisting. He has been compared to
Tech's mighty Stumpy Thomas, for he
has the ability to get away from the
average tackier . He will give some of
the old players a fight for a place
on the team.
Maree, a two-hundred pound Soph,
is furnishing plenty of competition for
the tackles. It will be remembered
the brand of game that he played
here last year when the Auburn Rats
played the Tech Frosh. Flowers is a
man that is showing up well on the
defence.
The men that make up the back-field
for Tech this year are: Durant,
Thomason, Mizell, Randolf, Smith,
Dunlap, Lumpkin, Shulman, Faisst,
Horn, and Fitzgerald.
University of Georgia
Last Saturday afternoon the Geor­gia
Bulldogs were run through a stiff 1
scrimmage, which happened to be the
first one that they have encountered
this year. There were several dif­ferent
teams that worked for short
periods, the sun being too hot to per­mit
very much "rough stuff" at one
time. • The Freshmen furnished the
means for defense, and showed up
comparatively well against the strong
attack of the varsity.
McCrary pushed his way through
Frosh time after time for nice gains.

AUBURN PLAYERS PLAN A GREAT
YEAR UNDER DIRECTOR WEAVER
On Monday night the Auburn Play­ers
opened what promises to be an
eventful and successful year.
The society was exceedingly fortu­nate
in having Mr. John-JToungblood
recount the high points in the history
of the Players during his four years
of membership. Mr. Youngblood is a
gifted and entertaining speaker, and
his listeners gave him appreciative
applause.
l5r. Gosser, faculty adviser, intro­duced
Dr. Weaver, formerly of the
Kentucky Strollers, Professor Atkin­son,
and Professor Adams. All pro­fessed
a keen interest in the affairs
of the drama in Auburn.
Dr. Weaver promises to be a great
help to the Auburn Players, as he has
had a great deal of experience, and is
giving his personal assistance to the
development of the organization.
"Paths of Glory," written and di­rected
by Dr. Weaver, is now being
prepared for presentation at the
Players meeting Monday night, for
the entertainment and instruction of
the members.
In the past the Auburn Players
have done big things. The "Football
Floric," produced by Professor Ham­ilton
in the spring of 1927, was a
great piece of work. With some of
the most talented members back this
year, some good productions are as­sured.
.
The club meets every Monday night
at eight o'clock. All candidates for
membership are ured to attend.
Instructional Council
Meeting Held Sunday
On Sunday afternoon at four bells,
members of the "Y" Council met in

of instructing newly elected
lieutenants, and for clearing up any
phase of the work to be done during
the coming semester. In spite of tbe
rainy afternoon, a goodly number of
captains and lieutenants gathered
for an hour of well-placed discussion.
New members of the Council were
introduced by their respective cap­tains.
C. L. Williamson gave a splendid
account of his experiences at Blue
Ridge during the summer. He was
one of the five Auburn students to
be sent there by the local "Y" at this
time. Sam Mosley was present and
gave a very fitting short talk. Rev.
Hay was also at the gathering, and
pledged his loyal support to the ef­forts
of the organization.
The meeting was a splendid suc­cess,
despite the inclement weather.

EVANS SOCIETY
MEETS TUESDAY
The regular meeting of the Evans
Literary Society was held last Tues­day
and everyone enjoyed the open
discussions. Mr. Whatley enlightened
the society with a few of the enjoy­ments
of the Auburn summer schools.
He especially emphasized the week­end
dances, which he stated were a
huge success. An open discussion
was then begun by Mr. Blocker con­cerning
Freshman week. The fresh­men
participated in the discussion as
much, if not more, than the upper-classmen.
The society, as a whole,
were greatly in favor of Freshman
week. After this, Mr. Wright sug­gested
that the society begin a dis­cussion
on politics, but 'the members
didn't seem to be in favor of his sug­gestion.
Another open discussion was
begun with the following topic: "Do
you believe that self-supported stu­dents
get the full benefit of a college
career?" Some of the members gave
personal experiences to illustrate this
topic, and the society was finally con­vinced
that students who work them­selves
through school really get as
much from school as the average stu­dent.
Mrs. Good advised all students
that dish washing was a fine way to
work and that it was especially good
training. After the critic's report,
the topic, "Should there be a law to
prohibit women from smoking in pub­lic,"
was given to the members to
debate upon next meeting.
Websterian Society
Has Good Meeting
The Websterian Literary Society
met Tuesday night and started off
with lots of pep. As soon as the roll
had been called and the minutes read,
the president called on each member
to tell his experiences during the sum­mer.
The co-eds were rather slow to
relate their incidents that they were
in this summer. Reasons for this
backwardness are not known. C. H.
Rush gave an interesting review of
the things that happened during one
of his dates. It seems that he forgot
to look at his watch until it was too

a successful year. Chairman W. P.

at the Zoo and had her let her in.
Mr. Collum made a talk concerning
the fun to be gained from a prepon­derance
of girls at summer school.
Something of the difficulties encoun­tered
in securing a job were cited by
Mr. Hawkins. He travelled several
thousand miles searching for work,
and not being satisfied, he went back
to Birmingham and accepted a posi­tion
as secretary to a prominent law­yer
there. Next, Mr. Blankenship told
something about the construction of
a field for mail planes. Having work­ed
with a construction company this
summer, he had some first-hand in­formation.
Since he helped to build
it, he expressed a sincere desire to see
it become a great success. The pres­ident,
Mr. Lecroy, told of the hard­ships
of catching rides. He said that
riding the highway he got to his des
tination, Chattanooga, only an hour
later than he would have by train.

Of course, Coach "Boozer" Pitts, who
acted as head coach until Coach Boh-ler
arrived on the campus, has been
giving instructions to the linemen,
and there is not a man in the coun­try
who knows any more about the
line work than he does. In Coach
"Slick" Moulton we have a man who
is always on the job, and is a real
genius. Prom Mississippi College we
have a new arrival on the coaching
staff in Burnham "Sheriff" Lee.
Coach Lee comes to Auburn from
Mississippi college, where he was a
four letter-man under Bohler, and
was the main thrust against Bir­mingham-
Southern when they met on
the grid-iron last year. Coaches
"Red" Brown and "Pop" Patterson

needed. Coach Wilubur Hutsell, the

John (Barleycorn) Shirey out every
day, and he' has given the backfield
men many good pointers in punting
and carrying the ball. With such a
good staff as this to help Coach Boh­ler
put his new methods into prac­tice,
we have a right to believe we
will have a fairly successful season.
From the way the team looked
when attacked by Fort Benning, we
see that we have about three back-fields
that can put a scare into any
team. If "Snitz" Snider can get
good intereference, he is long gone,
and there are other backs on the team
that are as hard to stop, even though
they do not have the speed that
"Snitz" has. During the fracas the
running of Porter Callahan and the
way he stiff-armed the would-be
tacklers wil make him a sure go in
the game against Southern. Although
the line-up will not be announced un­til
time for the game, the writer
would like to make a wild guess as to
who will be on the field when the first
whistle is sounded. On ends it seems
that Ingram will hold down one side

will be, or rather could be Cunning­ham
and E. Taylor, and "Nick" Car­ter
and G. Long or Joe Burt at
guards. Harkins will most likely take
the pivot position. In the backfield
Tuxworth or H. Long will be calling
signals, and Sellers at full. A pretty
running pair of halves would be Jim
Crawford and Callahan, both of who
were hard to stop against the Ben­ning
team.
The team wil Heave on the special
train Friday afternoon with the stu­dent
body and Auburn supporters.
They will return on the same train
immediately after the game.
B'ham.-Southern Hat Good Team
When the special comes in from
Birmingham, Coach Jenks Gillem and
Gary Robinson will have with them a
team that is in fairly good condition,
even though two of their men are out
with injuries. The missing members
are Lott and Stephens. Lott is a good
ball toter and 10 second man while
Stephens has been trying his luck at
center.
The Panther mentor brings with
him a backfield that is considered one
of high caliber. Rilgreen, who works
at full is a good bet, and Bill Smith
calls signals and can do anything that
the man in that position is supposed
to do. Ogle has been changed from
the line to the backfield, due to his
ability to boot the ball. Finney is
likely to be in as halfback. Captain
Barlett has been going good this year
on end.
Both teams agreed not to practice
any at' night before the game, so it
will be something very new to them
all. This is the first night game to
be played by any Southern college
teams, although several have games
scheduled this year.
According to some old dope, we see
that Birmingham-Southern has never
beaten the Plainsmen . We have play­ed
them four times, and have only
been scored on once. In 1920 the score
was 49 to 0; 1923, 20 to 0; 1924, 7 to
0; and 1925, 25 to 6.

Troutt and Bob Lee, the latter two

The decorations this year promise
to be the best in history. The design
carrying out the idea" of an under­ground
cavern has been drawn by
Prof. Fred Ledbetter, of the archi­tectural
department, who with the
help of Prof. Roy Staples of the ap­plied
arts school and George Brinson,
hopes to present a new and unique
decorative scheme. Prof. Staples,
who is a new man this year on the
campus has had much experience in
such work and is expected to add
many new ideas.
The entrance to the Gym will be
fixed in the form of the mouth of a
cave. Just inside will be the main
cavern with stalactites and stalag­mites
here and there. Along the
wall will be painted various tunnels
leading off, and other scenery in
keeping with the idea of a cavern.
The main feature will be the orches­tra
background located to one side
and carrying out the same effect.
The Fraternities that are going to
give house parties during the dances
are Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa
Alpha, and Alpha Gamma Rho.
The Prom is under the direction of
the Student Social Committee and
Miss Zoe Dobbs, Dean of Women.
The Social Committee is composed of
Pete Crenshaw, chairman, Porter An­derson,

a few years to see a Student Union
Building erected. This building
will be equipped with offices for all
student publications as well as for
other scholastic activities, and will
cost approximately $200,000. Plans
for Fraternity Row are also nearing
completion.
A few years ago all this would have
been difficult to believe, but in face
of the improvements that have
already been made, it is not a prob­ability
but almost an assured fact.
Take as an example the ne>v- concrete
streets in the Fairest Village of the
Plains. Auburn was formerly noted
for its mud during a rainy season,
but now practically the entire town
is accessible via concrete. Another
improvement made during the past
summer was the installation of an up-to-
the-minute Cafeteria in the Girl's
Dormitory. This enables the students
to choose their own food at moderate
cost.
Dr. Knapp declares that he is con­fident
that in the next 5 or 6 years
the enrollment of Auburn will in­crease
to 3,000 students, provided the
student body and alumni stand back
of him. He may rest assured that he
will have the fullest cooperation of
both, as he has already demonstrated
that he is the man for the position
which he holds.

Last Saturday in New Orleans
Howard met Loyola in the opening
grid tilt for both of those teams,
which resulted in a 18 to 0 vistory
for the Loyola team. The Alabam-ians
were outclassed from the start,
and were shown a varied assortment
of offensive plays. In Don Maitland
the home team had a line smashing
thing, for he made gains time and
again through the line. After the
game was well under way, Coach
Shaughnessy took out part of the
regulars, and put in substitutes, who
showed up to advantage.
The only men on Howards team
that made any showing at all of the
offense was Van Bushkirk, who made
what few gains that were gotten by
his team. He is the Howard star full­back,
but the Loyola line was too
strong for him to get started.
