The dances will be informal. The bids, which number nearly eight hundred, were mailed the early part of the week. If the above figure is any indication there will be a record number of girls at the coming dances. Rudy Brown and His Orchestra have been playing for a large number of script and fraternity dances in the Atlanta district during the summer months and the early fall. Extended engagements have already been filled at the University of Georgia for all of their coming dances. Rudy has also booked Tennessee and Sewanee for their opening affairs. The very latest dance floor hits will be introduced here by this orchestra. Rudy, who is a past Victor recorder and a present Columbia artist, has quite a few famous artists among his musicteers. His "Sax team" composed of two old orchestra leaders, namely Bob Lee, Charlie Troutt, and himself, cannot be beaten when it comes to making jazz's jazziest instrument talk. He will also feature Daniel "In The Lion's Den" Hornsby, famous for having been the first man (Continued on page 6) SOCIAL FRATERNITIES ANNOUNCE PLEDGES Auburn opened the 1928-29 session with one of the largest freshman classes in history. Seemingly the Fraternities all took advantage of this, because never before has there been so many pledges. Below are listed the fraternities of Auburn with their respective pledges: PI KAPPA ALPHA: Piatt Boyd, Birmingham; William Harris, Camden; H. R. Phillips, Atlanta; Thomas Kirkland, Union Springs; Sam Cutler, Ensley; Prank Ellis, Columbiana; George Harrison, Bessemer; Joe Jenkins, La Fayette; Ben Babson, Greenville; Douglas Reynolds, Selma; Dozier Roberts, Union Springs; William Taylor, Birmingham; Edmund England, Birmingham.

Mr. Oxendine, the proprietor, plans to be open for business by October 10th. The Shop will be equipped with the most modern sandwich equipment. Besides counter and curb service, six tables will be at the disposal of the after-dance and theatre crowds. Judging from the progress already made in the interior decorating and general appearance of the Shop, it will be quite a creditable addition to Auburn. The faculty held its second dance of the season in the gym last night. Thirty couples were present. Max Jones and his "Collegiate Eight" orchestra furnished the music for the affair, and, in conjunction with the delightful punch, helped greatly to liven things up. The dance was supposed to have been a "Harvest Dance." Everyone was expected to wear masquerade costumes. True, Lieutenant Leitch came dressed as "Uncle Bud", with a red flannel shirt and inner tube suspenders, and his wife represented his daughter with long curls and hair iribbon; however the majority of the remaining dancers were evidently unaware of announcements concerning the character of the dance. The dance as a whole, though, was most enjoyable, and if it be any indication of the success of future dances, the faculty has much to which it might look forward.

September Issue Auburn Alumnus Is Now Available Interesting Photographs And Articles Feature Issue The September issue of the Auburn Alumnus has just come off the press. The blue cover is attractively decorated with the Auburn seal in orange. Throughout the magazine are many interesting photographs, one of a beautiful campus scene, one of Dr. Knapp and his family, and others. One of the features of this issue is an article entitled "Pioneer Days of the Theater in Alabama," by Professor J. R. Rutland, Head Professor of English. This sketch is vitally interesting to any Alabamian. Another feature of note is an article in which President Knapp forecasts a great program for Auburn's development, and outlines plans for an era of progress.

Social Committee Adds Two Members Last week two new members of the Social Committee were announced. The committee reports that to fill the Senior vacancy Tom Walthall, Theta Chi, has been chosen. The Freshman selected is Randa Gross, Phi Delta Theta. Tom Walthall General Business is a popular member of the Senior Class. He is well-known for the interest that he has taken in all college activities during his three years here. Gross is already well known not only by all of the Freshmen, but by many upper-classmen as well. Auburn students, undaunted by their loss of last Friday night, assembled in a huge crowd in Langdoh Hall last night. The display of spirit on this occasion was indicative of old times, for the auditorium was overflowing. Everyone present was wild with enthusiasm from the start. Tyler and Baxter, assisted by two Freshmen, led the cheers—and what cheers! The roof on Langdon Hall must have been raised at least a foot. Prexy was there, of course, and with as much of the "Ole Auburn Spirit" as it is possible for one man to have. He gave a short address, stressing the fact that Auburn students should not be downhearted about losing one game, especially when a great victory would be won on the morrow. "Doc" Knapp contributed a new song that certainly should go a long way to helping Auburn BEAT CLEMSON! Here's the way it goes: A-u-b-u-r-n, That spells A. P. I, A-u-b-u-r-n, We'll shout your word Hi-Hi, For heroes brave will win the game, The team will fight for our good name. A-u-b-u-r-n, That spells vic-to-ry!

GLEE CLUB HOLDS F I R S T PRACTICE Great Season Seen By Director "Bedie" Bidez The songbirds of Auburn have awakened: the first Glee Club practice was held last Monday night. Many of the old members are back while there are many new one6 to fill the vacancies left by graduates. Auburnites have always had cause to be full proud of their Glee Club, for its programs have always been full of pep and have gone over big everywhere they have been presented. It is the belief of "Chief" Bidez, director, that with the present material he will soon have developed one of the best Glee Clubs in ths South. Reporters Course Added By College Hopes To Improve Quality of Articles in Plainsman The English Department is planning to schedule a semester hour in Journalism aside from the regular three hour course. This instruction is for the benefit of those who write news articles for the Plainsman. The object of this is to advise the reporters as to the things that make a good news article; they will also be instructed in writing leads and heads for articles. This course is expected to start within a short time. PLAY-BY-PLAY 1st Quarter Clemson defended North goal. Auburn kicked off to Clemson's twenty-five yard line. Ball was returned fifteen yards.

One Game Lost Is Not An Entire Season Lost All present "whisperings" are not purely political; going the rounds are being exchanged ideas among a minority of wary dissenters weak arguments relative to a rather down-cast position for the Plainsman footballers throughout this season. This is permissable, though by no means advisable for those who wish to gather a harvest of truthful elements and a substantial outlook. Coach Bohler and his Tiger cohorts are energetically alive and working; there is far more to the story than the wayward results of today suggest to restless, "do-something-quick" onlookers and hasty observers. Some talk because they have nothing else to do and for the half-hearted thrill of predictions; other talk for the sake of being heard—some for sport, and unluckily many against sports; and still others look in only one direction—backward—to issue their mutterings. Then there are those who simply don't know. Unfortunately, there is no available law against this trend of propaganda. As a result of thorough research, only one state is definitely known to support the issue— that of ignorance. With all respect to" those who talk and talk and talk, the situation in the Village camp is one of no mean outlook, as one might conclude from drifting calculations. According to the law of scores, Auburn was defeated in the opening tilt of the season. This mighty Institution of the Plains, listed with a worthy group of Southern Conference colleges, has stooped to openhanded defeat from a supposedly little machine ranking only in S. I. A. A. circles—what a downright shame and disgrace ! But there is another slant on the story— one being overlooked too often. Suffering from an inferiority complex involving thirteen consecutive defeats, Auburn is now rising from a below-level status. Existing conditions make it a stark impossibility for a victory sweeping team to emerge within a fortnight. Besides, great teams just aren't built within a day. The program being instituted by the present Tiger mentor covers a period of years, rather than a single game. Looking back over the past three years, and possibly longer, we view the Tiger machine in slowly sinking operations. This decline must first be checked, and then the laboring processes of regaining lost heights put into effect. The plan of the present coaching staff is not to spend a season's energy on an opening game, but to climb with the years. Evidence to the reasonable observer discloses the fact that a foundation for future football is being laid ' at Auburn. Coach Bohler is in no wise apologetic concerning results thus far; he expressed himself as fairly well pleased with the results of the game against Birmingham- Southern. Admitting that the opponents outplayed his team, he has no abibis whatever to offer. The defeat has been taken gamely, and will be used to advantage. Coach Bohler announced upon his arrival at Auburn last spring that his team would lose some games this season, and would win some of the games. He chooses to place the depression in the beginning, in order to build succesively from the bottom. Sound judgment and action is prevalent in his program. Auburn lost to Southern; but there are other games to be played. The confidence and support of all loyal Auburn supporters accompany the coaching staff and the squad. The general has said, "We will lose some games, and we will win some games." Some Schools Treat Freshman Badly We have heart quite a bit said about the conduct of Auburn students of late. Some rather hard things have been said about our methods of arousing school spirit and the resulting wild rampages by which this spirit is expressed. However, we feel that our adverse critics should judge us .relatively. We heard a man talking. about another school the other day. His account of the means by which new men are 'oriented at that school was interesting, if true. The freshmen go to that school with a knowledge of its fairious spirit gained before they see the campus. They go with open minds and hearts, willing to be taught to do as their predecessors have done, and to acquire the famous spirit of the school. With this plastic material to work with the upperclassmen lose no time in making the new men into collegians. They know that they will be believed and followed explicitly. They force the freshmen to shave their heads, and tell them to stop shaving their faves. They teach them to leave off ties, coats and socks. They tell the new men that no collegian wears pressed trousers and that he doesn't need to comb his hair. The freshman is forced to do servile work for upperclassmen, many of whom he cannot respect, and few of whom are his betters. He is beaten into subjection with a bed slat and scorned if he doesn't take it like a donkey. He is thus forcibly deprived of all egoism and individuality; he is ground into the mass and is told to shout when the others shout; he is humiliated to the nth degree and told to like it. A loud mouth and a coarse vocabulary are extolled as the earmarks of a loyal student. These upperclassmen then take the freshmen to football games; they get the innocents wildly excited and incite them to commit assault, vandalism, arson, and most of the more serious crimes in the calendar. The freshman who tries to stop and reason about what he should do to support the football team is beaten again. He must do as the others do or suffer. We are glad that no such conditions exist at Auburn; we rejoice that our freshmen are led in enthusiastic cheers by intelligent upperclassmen and are kept from running around the streets yelling like maniacs. It is a source of pride to us that Auburn upperclassmen deter thoughtless freshmen who let their excitement get away with them from acting in a manner that would bring disgrace upon the school. We are glad that the man wasn't talking about Auburn. Forget Your Modesty; Help the Band One of the most inspiring things an Auburn man can experience is to hear the Auburn Band peel forth its music. It is one of the most pleasant sounds that can fall on our ears, and in the hearts of most of us there exists gratitude that nothing can take away. Pride and joy swell the field, and we boastfully proclaim that that is our band "doing her stuff." Wo go to football games, full of pep; we have a feeling that there is nothing that can take a victory from us. Sometimes though, lady luck and the gods of battle combine their forces to defeat our purposes; it is then that the band sends forth its music to help us over a disheartening moment. In fact, what would be the result if we didn't have the band at most of the games. Could we have a really successful game without it? It is hard to think so. None of us think that we very well could, judging from the fact that everything possible is done to send the band on all the trips. We send them on these trips to help the gridiron warriors to win a victory, and to bring a sometimes doubtful issue to a successful close. The yells are given much better when the band helps out. So we see that the band plays an important role during the season by being the giver of hope and inspiration. We can easily brag on the Auburn Band, for it is by far the best that has ever been our pleasure to listen to. We can take greater pride in it when we realize that it is composed of students who have come here to learn to do something just as the rest of us have. They are giving their time and talent to help Auburn the same way that others help her by bringing honor and glory to her in some other way. However, there is one discordant feature about the band on the football trips. The fellows in the band get out there and give their all to help the team win; they furnish music for the songa. But will the students help out by singing? They will not. Instead one would be led to believe that they take a keen delight in listening to the band when they should be singing the songs and helping to cheer the team. Fellows, not so long ago it wasn't that way. Why do we have to let it be that way now when we could help so much without very much effort on our part? Fellows, the band plays for us at the games and it is our duty to sing the songs that are played, especially the football songs. So let's get in there and show them our appreciation by supporting them all we passibly can. It is nothing more than we should do. Not in the Curriculum Why do young men and women go to college? It would not be altogether incorrect to reply, For what the curriculum does not offer. Freshmen are generally advised by older undergraduates to "get into activities" if they hope to make their college life worth while. Whether the various extra-curricular activities are all that they are held up as being is another question. In a volume entitled comprehensively "Under-gradu-ates," described as a "study of morale" in a score of American colleges and universities and issued by the Institute of Social and Religious Research, both the benefits and the evils of college "activities" are set forth. The benefits are apparent enough—development of initiative, training of special qualities, experience in the give and take of cooperative effort. The evils are apt to be less in the nature of the activities than in the excess to which they are indulged in. Extra-curricular activities, whatever their defects, are in our colleges and universities to stay. They help to make these institutions accord with our ideal of something more than a place to study. In this country the term "college life" has large significance. The practical question regarding these activities, therefore, is not whether they ought to be abolished or not, but how they can be freed of their worst ills and thus be rendered more beneficial. In some colleges there is official recognition of these activities to the extent of limiting the number in which one student may engage at one time. This negative policy might well be transformed into a positive policy which, without injuring the spontaneity of the activities, would prevent them from running away with those who go into them. As our income increases our former extravagancies become necessities, and we discover new follies. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The love of an old graduate for his college is hard to define but it is a real force nevertheless. What does the old graduate love about the institution? The buildings, the grounds, the old scenes, or even the old members of the faculty, are these the chief cause of this interesting sentiment? Yes, I expect all of them have their bearing, all of them are parts of the loyalty and love of the "old grad." But after all I think he has in his mind a sort of an idealized vision of Alma Mater something akin to his love of his country, his home, his native land. Whatever it is, the opportunity to entertain these old graduates here during home-coming is a real privilege. All of us hope they went away with hopes undimmed and loyalty undiminished. * * * * * * I went over to see the boys in Alumni Hall and to make a little call on "Mother Berney." "Mother Berney" is proud of her boys as all mothers are and I am sure that pride rests on a good foundation. They are a fine group of boys. A lot of responsibility rests upon them. They are in a show place where everybody sees and knows them. And then, if we do well with them and they make dormitories popular and respected here, it will be so much easier to provide better accommodations for hundreds of other boys by building new dormitories. We ned their help. * * * * * True loyalty and true "spirit" are always shown best when the team is defeated. There these are manifest more than in victory. Anybody can be a good sport and anybody can be a loyal, shouting Auburn-ite when the team wins. What real men are made of is shown in the shadow of defeat. So called loyal students and alumni can destroy morale by criticism which fails to construct but rather tears down, by sheer fault-finding, by the old "propaganda" route, by taking on an air of "gloom". Here at Auburn we have no place for the "gloom-hound." Courage, fortitude, real loyalty, hearts and minds united, undismayed, are necessities. Gossip, fault-finding, maudlin sympathy for players not in the game or replaced during play will tear real spirit to pieces. The biggest thing to overcome is SELF-DEFEAT. Who will help overcome this one thing? « AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « SPEED—BUT WHICH WAY? Judge: Ah—70 miles an hour. What is your reason for such speed? Hubby: You see, Judge, there is a new pair of twins at my house— Judge: Oh, I see. Which direction were you going? v * * * * * * * * Then there was the Chicago gangster who, after lighting a bomb, calmly tossed the match away. * * * * * * * * THE RATS HAVE BEGUN TO LEARN Overheard in a conversation: "Rat, do you know that our laundry just paid an enormous sum for a new button stripper? The said article is guaranteed to get every button and a few button holes. They have put in a new pressing machine and it is much better than the old one because I recently received a pair of trousers with two distinct creases in them. It is being rumored that every employee of the laundry has to become a member of one of the following fraternities, 'Phi Strippa Button' or "Rippa a New Shirt', 'I Delta Stain.' If the above is true why should we not organize a 'Riska What You Got' brotherhood'." * * * * * * * * Because so many friends gol dern 'em, Who borrow volumes and don't return 'em, "Ex^Liberis" on my bookplate looks As if it means "my former books." * * * * * * * * Judge (to guilty man): "You are going to have the time of your life." * * * * * * * * Each morning brings to the flapper a nuder day. * * * * * * * * They never walk back when I take them out bragged the undertaker. * * * * * * * * The caller was young and quite charming. "If you like" said the young man at the desk, "I'll have your poem submitted to the editor." "Thank you but I prefer to read it aloud to the editor. I want to submit the editor to the poem." * * * * * * * * * Then there was the Scotchman who had two sons. Both were midgets. * * * * * * * * AROUND THE CAMPUS IN 1935 The yacht races on Knapp Lake were won by the Sophomore entry "Cyclone" which easily outstripped all its opponents after rounding the ten mile buoy. Dr. Petrie's Thursday night farce in Current Events has been reduced, to three thousand students in order that he may give personal attention to each pupil and write their mothers and fathers about' the progress being made by their sons. * Auburn released an End and a Tackle last week unconditionally. Two halfbacks were farmed out to Mercer University. In a trade with the University of Georgia, Auburn received a two hundred pound center in exchange for a guard and a halfback. The faculty has been greatly reduced this year as a result of the installation of Vitaphones in each class room, making it necessary for the faculty to consist of only the President and the Deans of each department. With the aid of radio station WAPI and its representatives, the Extension Department is now carrying on its work in all the nations of the Earth except seven. The total enrollment for this year has not yet been determined owing to the fact that registration has been completed only three weeks ago, but from the information we get from the registrars office, the count has reached to about nineteen thousand students. Dr. Knapp is very encouraged over the increased enrollment and predicts that the count will be well about twenty thousand, when completed. It is with deep regret that we learn about the death of seven hundred of the Freshman class, last week, due to an epidemic of the Black Death. No one seemed to know any of the deceased Freshmen, nor were there records about them in the college, so the bodies were sent over to the Chemistry department for the Sophomore medical students. BOOK REVIEW « CHILDREN OF DIVORCE By Edith Wharton New York: D. Appleton & Company $2.50 Mrs. Wharton has been wont to display her characters with edge and elegance. Whether it is old New York or the gnarled reaches of back country New England, her stories are likely to be as finished and meticulous in detail as a period room, as clear yet remote as the swirling goldfish in a glass aquarium. In the years following the war, when old forms of living were broken and new ones yet to be evolved, she seemed to be reaching backward to decades which, at least as seen from a distance, achieve a sense of pattern alien to the heedless modern. But in her most recent novels, and especially this latest, "The Children," she is delving quite consciously into the formlessness of contemporary life. "The children" were seven, ranging from Judy, who was nearly sixteen, down to Chip, just learning to balance himself reliably on his fat little legs. They were the product of four marriages in which Cliffe and Joyce Wheater somehow had been involved. Five of them bore the name of Wheater—Judith, the twins, Terry and Blanca; Zinnie, the child of Cliffe and a "movie" actress, and Chip, born after Cliffe and Joyce were married to each other a second time at the urging of their eldest child. The other two, Bun and Beechy—or, more properly, Astorre and Beatrice—were the children of Prince Buondelmonte and a circus performer. Joyce Wheater had been married to the prince while Cliffe was disporting himself with the "movie" actress, and when those marriages crashed and the Wheaters made up with each other the two "steps" were casually added to their original offspring and Cliffe's new acquisition. Bun and Beechy's father was otherwise engaged; there always was money enough; Judy's warm heart could take them all in; so why not? The story opens as Martin Boyne, a cautious bachelor of forty-six, was on his way to the Dolomites to meet the lady whom he had loved from afar for many years, now just freed by widowhood from her unhappy marriage. On the steamer were "the children", a governess and two nurses, en route to the Lido to visit Cliffe and Joyce, who quite naturally couldn't be expected to travel with a troupe, but managed to arange rendezvous in palacehotels from time to time. Martin was interested, charmed, then engulfed. Trouble was brewing, for not even the new steam yacht gave Cliffe and Joyce enough amusement in common to offset the potential parties and past spouses basking on the sands of the Adriatic, and Judy foresaw that another crisis was at hand. Almost before he knew it Martin had been drawn in as consultant, referee and trial guardian of the brood. The first part of the book seems likely at time to be swamped with the exuberant gyrations of a young tribe as various and agile as Margaret Kennedy's Sanger circus. But in the relation of Martin to Rose Sellars, who practiced as a lovely art the arranging and ordering of her own life, and the over-wise child Judy, whom circumstances never had permitted to act save on warm-hearted impulse, there is a subtle and increasingly absorbing conflict in treating which Mrs. Wharton is at her best. Rose Sellars had acquired the capacity for self-discipline and self-effacement which good breeding prizes; she was beautiful and wise and understanding, save when it came to people whose values in living violated every habit of her own, and whose children, reared in another world, had been compelled to accept its exigencies as the price of existence. Even in their case she struggled against intolerance. To Martin it became a tussle between the reasonable ways on which his life was founded and the impulses which must serve as guide when reason is forgotten or inadequate. "The Children" has not the technical symmetry and the surety of idea which gave "Old New York," for example, the cold and balanced beauty of a crystal chandelier. But in addition to the light which one is accustomed to associate with her work, it has more than Mrs. Wharton's accustomed warmth, and with the wider tolerance and sympathy which that warmth makes possible it delves deeply into an aggravated instance of the great American dilemma, showing it with courage, vigor and discrimination. MEDITATIONS ON THIS AND THAT S y ''Benjamin Trovost-~ EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * •* DEAR SIR: I read your column pretty regularly and sometimes enjoy it. I think that you should take the space to answer the slanderous letter which was printed on the editorial page in the last issue. There is but one way to give rats the old Auburn spirit, and that is with a bed-slat. If that makes them a little unruly at times, we ought to be able to overlook it. They have acted that way for a long time, and it has not hurt anyone, and Auburn has been known for its old spirit. Auburn is not a tea-hound university and we ought to be proud if our rats act like he-men and not like nice little boys. This Ivanhoe Silva is not a true Auburn man; he is a traitor for his attitude toward our spirit. Outsiders don't get the wrong opinion; they realize that boys must be boys. —W. S. * * * * * THE WRITER of the above states that he has read this column before. If he has done so, and does not know that I cannot take issue with this Ivanhoe Silva then my opinion of my ability to state my opinions clearly is lowered considerably . I think that I have mentioned this subject of Auburn Spirit before. My views are substantially the same as those of Silva, although I have never expressed them quite as vehemently as did the gentleman of the romantic non de plume. Time after time have men appeared before the student body and have wirtten the authorities here complaining of outrageous conduct on the part of irresponsible students. If there were but a few isolated instances of this conduct then I would want to suppress them, but it is now a common occurrance for Auburn students to commit vandalism and many other crimes. Therefore I cannot differ with the correspondent in the bulk of his statements. The situation is a delicate one; one which requires delicate handling by strong leaders. A leader in the president's office cannot cope with it alone, neither can a leader in the student body, but with both of them some change can be made. We have the leader in the office. A diagnosis of the situation seems rather simple to me. It is this; a certain olass of men at Auburn are handicapped mentally and morally. Through no fault of their own their individual instincts have been suppressed until those instincts have become impotent in the motivation of action or thought. Their mob instincts have been over-developed and supply the sole motivating force. I don't believe that there is a man in Auburn who would get out on the street alone in the daylight and run about with his clothes half off, shouting and swearing at the top of his voice, as he hindered traffic, entered the picture show, stole property and broke show-windows. As a mob, there is nothing under the wide sky that I will put beyond the average Auburn freshmen. There is a difference between concerted action and mob action. One is intelligently motivated—the other is motivated exactly as are the actions of a flock of undomesticated sheep. The mob instincts are a direct result of the system of hazing in vogue at Auburn which kills the man and creates the unit. We encourage the freshman only in making noise and running around in circles after mass meetings. A natural result is the wild conduct exhibited when the students are under emotional stress during football season. They simply don't know any better and see no harm in releasing their enthusiasm by acting with no regard for decency. There is something fundamentally wrong in the methods which we use to instill that mythical "spirit" in our freshmen. Their conduct impresses the outsider as being nothing short of barbarous. Men don't want to send their boys to school where they are taught to be raving maniacs. I must agree with Mr. Silva—I'm sorry to disappoint W. S. I KNOW THAT ANY WEED CAN TELL I know that any weed can tell And any red leaf knows That what is lost is found again To blossom in a rose. The weakest is the strongest, too; For any moss has shown How strong its frailest fingers are To spit the biggest stone. And so I go my quiet way As any quiet thing; I know the weed and moss too well To be afraid to sing. —Louis Ginsberg. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1928 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE • a ~P*i r=\ JACK McLESKEY, Sports Editor, DICK JONES, TAD McCALLUM, T. W. WINTER, Assistants Tiger Freshmen Overwhelm Baby Panthers 25 to 2 in Opening Game t Brilliant Offensive Flashed By Rats in First Encounter By Tad McCallum Auburn's "Baby Tigers" opened up their 1928 season by overwhelming the Birmingham-Southern Frosh eleven to the tune of 25 to 2 on Drake Field Friday afternoon. The Auburn rats uncorked a brilliant offensive attack that swept the Southern Freshmen off their feet and the defensive work of the Tiger Cubs was splendid for an opening encounter. After the first half, Coach Brown kept a steady flow of substitutions entering the game and all acquitted themselves nobly. Auburn supporters have long looked forward to a strong Rat eleven and nearly two thousand of these fans saw their prayers answered in today's battle. It will be difficult to find a set of Freshman backs in any southern college as versatile and powerful as the fourteen backs that Coach Brown used in the encounter. The line was a stone jwall to the line-bucking efforts of the Southern backs and only two first downs were made through the Auburn forward wall. The Tiger Frosh suffered a casualty in the first quarter when "Frock" Pate, star halfback, was removed from the game with a twisted ankle. He was replaced by Smith. Hatfield gave the Southern rats plenty of worry with his elusive stepping. The Montgomery boy got away on several long jaunts, twice for touchdowns. Young directed the team as well, in the first half and did some neat running himself. Davidson and Smith also turned in first rate performances in the rear works. Simpkins, Bush, Andrews, McRee, Stone and the rest of the Auburn linesmen broke through time after time to smear Southern plays and halt the backs for losses. For the Southern Rate, Blanton and Lovelace in the backfield and Doane in the line were the star performers. Auburn made nine first downs to Southern's four. Southern threatened to score in the fourth quarter when a pass and series of line bucks placed the ball on Auburn's 2 yard line. The Auburn line held, however, and the ball went over. On the next play Smith was downed behind the goal line for a safety and two points for Southern. Following is a detailed account of the game: First Quarter B'ham Southern kicked off and Young received the ball and lugged it back 27 yards. Young hit the line for a three yard gain. Young plunged over tackle for another three yards. A pass, Young to Andrews was incomplete. Davidson punted to Blanton who returned to his own 20 yard line.

Hatfield twisted through the line for 21 yards and first down. Young made three over center. A pass, Young to Hatfield made first down. On the next play Auburn fumbled and Hatfield recovered for a twenty-five yard loss. A pass, Young to Andrews netted 23 yards. Love lace intercepted Young's pass and ran to his own 20 yard line before being downed. Two line plays failed to gain and Blanton kicked out of bounds on Southern's 30 yard line. Second Quarter Hatfield was halted for no gain at right tackle. Young circled right end for 10 yards and first down. Smith went over center for 8 yards. Time out-Southern.

BASKIN BASKIN TELLS OF TRIP ABROAD, AND AMERICA'S OLYMPIC TEAM By Weems O. Baskin I two of the greatest competitors the The American Olympic Team got i game'has ever produced well under way when our own Euil Snider and Ray Barbuti great Syra il cuse football and track star clashed in the tryouts at Philadelphia in the early part of July . Throughout the grinding trials and during the whole Olympic trip these two boys furnish ed the bulk of excitement with their brotherly love arguments. Barbuti is known all over the east and other parts of the country as being one of the most confident and cocky runners that the game has ever produced. In fact he was hard to handle, but after a few days of handling by the speedy Euil the Syracuse star was overcome. Several times the Olympic Stars were complaining about the roll and rocking of the boat caused by what' they thought to be rough sea, but only to find out that it was a great argument between Snider and Barbuti. However, they were very close friends and Having the Olympic games every four years gives all the great track stars something in common to work for. It is by far the greatest sports carnival to be held and more athletes benefit from it than in any other sport . It affords many boys to see part of the world who otherwise could not make their own expenses. It also brings together athletes from the different parts of the country which is very beneficial to each and every one because of the personal contact. * * * * * You have heard it talked and read news in the various newspapers about the over-eating of the Olympic team, the soft tracks, an over-flow of managers and the like, but to my way of thinking we were up against some good athletes in the old country. Europe has just as good track men 4*;:;: By T. S. Winter October 6 marks the official opening of the Southern Conference Season as all of the teams swing into action, many for the first time. It will be a day of hard early season contests- struggles which may make or break some championship hopes. Fans all over the South will crowd the sidelines to watch and cheer their favorites in their first real test of strength. In the southern end of the conference, Auburn meets Clemson in their annual homecoming game. Friends and old Grads will watch with great interest the progress made by Coach Bohler at the Village of the Plains. Clemson, fresh from victories over Newberry and Davidson, face a bloodthirsty Auburn team that has lost only one homecoming game in the past twenty years. Perhaps one of the best games of the day will be the Alabama-Ole Miss game at Tuscaloosa. Ole Miss, after upsetting the dope last Saturday when they manhandled the Arkansas Razor-backs, has strong hopes of beating the Crimson Tide for the first time in modern football history. On the other hand Coach Wade will use an untried team in an effort to stop the thrusts of Ole Miss. Another very important contest is the game between Tulane and the Mississippi Aggies at Jackson, Miss; while Florida gets her first test under fire against Southern College at Lakeland. Up at Nashville, Vander-bilt meets Colgate in what will be the only intersectional contest of the day. In the opening game last week Vandy easily beat Chattanooga 20 to 0, and everyone is anxious to see how they will fare against strong opposition. The Commodores are picked by many sports to win the Southern Title this year. Of the other favorites, both Georgia and Georgia Tech swing into action for the first -time. The Bull By Tad McCallum Auburn students and followers are pointing with pride to the increasing number of Auburn athletes who, on graduation, are offered positions as coaches in the leading high schools of the state. These positions call for men of high character and it is a mark of distinction for Auburn that over twenty high schools throughout the state have employed Auburn men as coaches for the coming year. Some of these men have already made their mark in the coaching line and have turned out remarkably successful high school teams. It is only natural that a good many of the boys who are under these coaches should enter Auburn on graduation from high school. Wherever there is an Auburn man coaching, you may be sure that he will try to implant a little of the Auburn spirit into his team, and consequently each year the Freshman teams resemble more and more a real Tiger eleven. They enter school ready to fight for Auburn and as any follower of football will tell you, that means a lot. Over, in Montgomery, "Bull' Mc- Fadden, former Tiger linesman, has worked wonders with the Cloverdale High grid squad. Last season the team was undefeated and from present indications will be a contender for the championship again this fall. Several of the mainstays on this season's Frosh eleven received their Prep training under the guidance of Mc- Fadden. Cary Robinson, one of Auburn's greatest centers, has charge of the line at Birmingham-Southern and has developed a formidable forward wall, as those who saw the night game in Montgomery will testify. That same line should create a good deal of trouble for S. I. A. A. opponents this season. Other Auburn men who are making good in the Coaching profession over the state are: Tom Shotts, Athens; Joe Market, Gadsden; Buck Ellis, Bay Minette; "Nurmi" Nelson, Southern Military Academy, Greensboro; "Diz" Pruitt, Opelika; Earnest Garrett, Lineville; "Dog-Face" Sheridan, Enterprise; "Rupe" Alverson, Tus-kegee, Ed James, Marion High, Marion; "Hard-Boy" Pruitt, Atmore; Abe Robinson, Evergreen; Fox Howe, Brewton; and "Bozo" Self, Ramer. SPORTS STUFF III!! as the States however, they are not plentiful as they would like to see them. The United States has always had a monopoly in the game, but from now on distinction will not be as much in evidence. We the United States as a whole have been just a bit too confident over our own track stars. The next time the Olympic games are held in Europe it will be nip and tuck throughout the games as to who will win, but I think the Staters will always be on top because of her great array o? material. * * * * * t It seems strange for a man with one By Carol Porter Over in the fair city of Atlanta, where Georgia Tech, so neatly carried the Southern Football Championship last year and stored it away for safekeeping, we have an instance of a man though physically disable as it seems to take part in any branch of sports showing the south that it can be done, and has selected the mild game of football to compete in. George Faisst, although laboring under the handicap of a sub-normal vision will be seen on the southern gridiron wearing a -special constructed headgear with glasses built in enabling him to have practically a normal vision and any man dogs tackle Mercer at Athens while Tech goes up against a determined V. M. I. squad in Atlanta. Up in the Carolinas' the South Carolina-Virginia game holds the limelight, Coach Billy Laval's Gamecocks, who last Saturday trounced Stagg's Chicago Maroons in the first intersectional game of the season, will find determined opposition in the Cavaliers. At College Park, Maryland, with a speedy team, hope to stop what is rated the strongest North Carolina team in years.

COACH BURNHAM "Sheriff" LEE Carol Porter Coach Lee, is the latest addition to the Tiger coaching. Lee is one of Bohlers' products from Mississippi College, and is thoroughly acquainted with the system of football being taught at the village. Coach Lee brings with him to the Orange and Blue camp, having made a very impressive name for himself while at Mississippi, being one of the few four letter men of the south. He spent the summer playing baseball for Macon .Georgia where he was voted the most popular player on the team. We welcome Coach Lee to the Fairest Village of the Plains. of the world's greatest sprinters and the holder of world's records. This person is none other than Roland Locke, famous University of Nebraska track, football and baseball star. His left leg is the shortest and he can run the curves faster than any other human and also holds the world's record in the 200 meter and the 220 yard dashes. He has tied the accepted world's record in the 100 yard dash as many as six times, with a loafing time of 9.6. The time for the century is 20.6. Many times during the races, I have had to take him out on the grass and twist his right hip and then jerk it back into position. One of the best, if not the greatest trainer in these United States is none other than Coach W. H. Hutsell, who is Track Coach and football trainer here at Auburn. In talking to Mr. M. P. Halpin, who is Chairman of the New York Athletic Club and one of the largest athletic heads in New York told me recently that Hutsell had his mile relay team in in the greatest shape of any of the runners (Continued on page 6) team ready to tackle Maryland. Carolina's other entry in the Conference, North Carolina State, has a worthy foe in the Washington and Lee Generals. ^ Other games while not so important as these, finds Sewanee, with a more promising team than usual, pitted against Texas A. & M.; Kentucky warming up with Carson-Newman; L. S. U. playing Southwest Louisiana Inst.; V .P. I. grappling with Hamp-den- Sidney; and Tennessee lined up against the Praying Colonels of Centre. with the "Guts" and determination to play under such a handicap is sure to make good. We voice our admiration of a man like George Faisst, and wish him success. There is quite a bit of wondering and guess work going on concerning Chicago's defeat at the hands of South Carolina, but why should this surprise the south? Does it seem impossible for a southern team to go north, east, or west, and defeat some of the most prominent elevens from either section? The day of past reputation winning football games is no more. The day of one section having the outstanding teams, has also passed by, and today the Southern elevens take advice from no one, so if Georgia Tech, beats Notre Dame, and this is very probable, or if Spring Hill beats the Army. The day has gone by when we were supposed to let our mouth flare open like a rat-trap and wonder. With the south boasting of such_ elevens as Georgia, Georgia Tech and Alabama seem to have, not mentioning other teams that are close behind the a"bove three, the South will apparently upset several dope buckets before the curtain falls. * * * * * If "early season dope is to amount to very much this year, the Southern teams will do well to point to Tulane. In the first game of the season, Tulane got away to a good start in administering arsenic to Louisiana College in exceedingly large doses. Mr. William Banker, the Blonde Cyclone, from the marshy city went hog wild to aid his team materially in the slaughter of the Lousiana College eleven by a horrible score of 65 to 0. We hope that Mr. Banker does not gain too much momentum as the season progresses. ?ept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov.

Smith, topics of current issue were discussed by two prominent members of the society, respectively as they appeared on the program. First, Mr. "Booty" Pardon gave an instructive talk on "The Electrification of Ice Plants." In this he told how the Dixie Construtcion Co. was replacing the old gas engine plants with the new electrical plants. Having had actual experience in this work, Mr. Pardon brought out ideas and methods clearly which he could not have otherwise done. Mr. C. T. Ingersoll concluded the progra^n by giving a review of how the electrical laboratory experiments Vere conducted in the past. He also told of new equipment that had been purchased at a sum of $16,000 for the laboratories which was of great interest to all students in electrical engineering. OSBORNE TALKS TO ARCHITECTS Emory's Glee Club Has Successful Trip Abroad Emory's Glee Club, known in publicity circles as the "South's Sweetest Singers," returned to its native heath on Friday, September 14th, after its second successful summer invasion of Europe, more particularly England. The gleemen left Atlanta on June 4, two days after classes were finished last year. The first stop the boys made was in Savannah, where a concert was given on the night of the fourth. That night they sailed for New York on the "City of St. Louis." The voyage from Savannah to the huge city was marked by a terrific amount of eating on the part of all concerned and several appearances of that frightful ailing, seasickness. On June 7 the boat landed in New York, and the singers got to spend two days there. In New York the members of the club gave a program over a large radio hook-up, were entertained at a banquet given by the Southern Club, gave a concert at the Waldorf-Astoria, and were introduced to Mayor Jimmie Walker. Acting in an unofficial ca-capity, they gazed at skyscrapers, rode subways and "els," and both took in and were taken in at Coney Island. Sailing from New York on midnight of June 8, Dr. Dewey and Company arrived at London on June 18, after previously docking at Plymouth, England, and Havre, France. For three or four days the Clubbers had a good time sight-seeing, before starting on the round of entertaining and being entertained. The opening event was the ball which was given in honor of the club at the American Women's Club in London. It was heer that the boys got their first taste of English hospitality. After that, the club was kept busy for nearly two months "filling a series of engagements all over Engla'nd. The regular paid concert engagements included appearances at the Aeolian Hall, the Arts Theater, and the Coliseum, all in London, and at the towns of Weston-Super-Mare, Bath (pronounced "Bawth"), Heme Bay, Felixstowe, Norwich, Clacton, Lowestoft, Eastbourne, Ramsgate, and Bournemouth. Last Monday night the members of the Architectural Association were accorded the honor of hearing an unusually interesting talk by Professor Milton S. Osborne on his tour of Europe, which he made during the past summer. Professor Osborne's travels were so extensive that he found it impossible to cover his subject in one short address; therefore he will give a series of lectures on the subject before the Architectural Association. In his speeches Professor Osborne does not confine himself merely to matters of peculiar interest to architects, but discusses everything worthy of notice that he saw during his trip. An attentive audience listened in hushed expectancy last Monday to his accounts of the beauty of Belgium, England, and Germany. Of special interest were his comments on the youth movements which are making fast progress in Germany. According to Professor Osborne, hundreds of boys and girls are hiking from camp to camp all over Germany during the seasons when weather will permit. These camps are located one day's hike apart and charge only nominal rates for food and shelter. The movement is fostered to instill love for the Fatherland by familiarizing the youth of the nation with its beauties and wonders. Vivid descriptions combined with touches of keen wit and humor lent color to the tales of travel, and it is with the greatest pleasure that the members of the association look forward to Professor Osborne's future lectures. AUBURN PLAYERS HAVE FULL PROGRAM OF WORK FOR 1928 Normal Condition Exists at Chapel Hill As a result of the recent discussion of the treatment given freshmen at Chapel Hill, N. C, by the upperclass-men a survey was made in Chapel Wednesday morning, which revealed no abnormal conditions. The Dean of Students had blank papers passed among the freshmen gathered in Memorial Hall and asked each new man to give an account of the reception he had received from older students since he had entered the University. No names were signed to the statements nor were the names of any upperclassmen mentioned. "What we want is an accurate picture of freshman life during the first few weeks of the year," Mr. Brad-shaw declared. "The best way of obtaining this picture is by taking a cross section of the class and learning the reactions of the individual members. The whole freshman class cooperated with the Dean in making the survey and the extent of the response proved satisfactory. After making a careful reading of all the slips turned in, Mr. Bradshaw said they indicated about what was expected. S. A. M. E. Reports Successful Meeting Many amusing points about camp life at Fort Benning during the past summer were given by Mr. Shackle-ford and Mr. Landstreet. According to reports by these men, those who have never been to camp have a very interesting trip ahead of them. Night life on the Company Street was apparently far more interesting than one would be led to think. Among the stunts that are not likely to be forgotten soon was the pushball contest, in which the Engineers completely outclassed the Artillerymen, and the Signal Corps' attempt to start a salty river by their tear-gas attack on the Engineers. V. L. Taylor gave a talk on the Coolidge Multiple Dome Dam located on the Gila River in Arizona. The purpose of the dam is to irrigate one hundred thousand acres of Indian Land. The dam is 251 feet high and cost $5,500,000. A ten thousand k. w. hydro-electric generating station is run in connection with this irrigation dam. A petition to the Executive Council was drawn up, asking that Freshmen be put on the same membership status as Sophomores. Plans are also being made to get the S. A. M. E. pins and ribbons. The local post is planning on a very successful year, and cordially invites all R. O. T. C. Engineering Students to attend the meetings. Beat Florida!

THE KL0THES SH0PPE UP-STAIRS BIRMINGHAM We sell good clothes for less because it costs us less to sell FRED THALEN Manager Take the "L" 2071/2 North 19 St. Under the point direction of Dr. Chas. P. Weaver and Dr. L. G. Gos ser the "Auburn Players" have before them a complete program of work for the 1928-29 session of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. It includes both production and presentation of plays upon which work is now in progress. Their plans, as announced by Dr. Weaver and Dr. Gosser, call for a series of one-act plays to be presented througout the year. The first will be presented at an early date. The initial play of the season will be written the "Paths of Glory" which was written by Dr. Weaver, the cast for which has been selected. It will be presented by four students, rehearsing for which is now being done. "Scraps" will be the second of the series. It was written by J. M. Mc- Murray, student at Auburn. It is based upon an Alabama setting and requires a cast of three. The third of the series is now being written by the class in dramatics. After being written the characters will be selected and rehearsing will begin, making it purely an Auburn production from the original idea for writing through the presentation. This play will require a young lady with rare personality and the student body of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is now being asked to select the young lady student for this part. She must be a "personality plus" coed. On the requirements for the young lady to play this part Dr. Weaver said: "She must be personally • attractive in " appearance though not necessarily beautiful; vivacious but not flippant; temperamental but not tempestuous; popular but well poised. In other words, she should be the kind of girl that everybody likes, a good sport in the great game of life." In addition to the above the Auburn players are planning community dramatics and other phases of dramatics for the year. Emphasis is being placed upon writing plays as well as presenting them. For Dr. Weaver this is his first year at Auburn. It is the second year for Dr. Gosser. Both are members of the faculty of the English department. Dr. Weaver has written two plays and also directed two college dramatic clubs. One of these was at Wake Forest, N. C, and the other at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Gosser is an alumnus of Kirks-ville State College of Missouri, where he had wide experience in dramatics, both as an actor and a director. Last year under his direction the Auburn players gave a number of finished plays, among them being "The Whole Town's Talking.' ' All of the presentations under his direction were well received. NOTICE The A. S. M. E. will hold its regular meeting Monday night Oct. 8th in room 109 Ramsay Hall. A good program is planned; so everybody is urged to be there. It is said that the difference between the pessimist and the optimist is that the former asks, "Is there any milk in the pitcher?" while the latter says, "Hand me the cream." Beat Florida!

The memorial tablet was unveiled by young Misses Florence and Frances Bailey, daughters of William Cyrus Bailey. With this addition to the athletic equipment of the college, P. C. has one of the most complete plants to be found at any small college in that section. Websterians Discuss Marriage Question The Websterians learned all about companionate marriage at their last meeting. Miss Casby chose that subject to speak on, and she truly did justice to her task. Companionate marriage is only a term to some of us. It should be given more consideration. We should realize that in revolting from the ancient monarchy of marirage, we are pressing onward into what amounts to nothing more than trial marriage. . Marriage was never intended to be that way. It must be kept scared, and the sanctity of our homes preserved. In addition to Miss Cosby's enlightening talk, the society was given the privilege of hearing Mr. Upchurch and Mr. Brock. The former intimated that he emphatically does not approve of companionate marriage—nor of any other kind, either. Mr. Blankenship was elected treasurer to fill the gap left by the loss of Mr. Beavers. In conclusion, Mr. Raines entertained the society with some music on his guitar. His singing and playing drew enthusiastic applause from his appreciative audience. We hope Mr. Raines will play for us again soon. The Websterians will have a social soon. Announcement of the date will be made later. ABE MARTIN ON YOUNG PEOPLE Beat Florida!

New Greystone Hotel Popular With Students The Greystone Hotel is Montgomery's newest and certainly one of her most beautiful hotels. It is situated in a very convenient part, of the city, being only two blocks south of the railroad station. Opening three weeks ago, it is already very popular, not only because it is new but because it offers excellent service. The management was very courteous to students last week end. Thus, it has created a feeling of good-will among Auburn students and it is expected that the Greystone will be another Auburn headquarters. "I'm gittin' blamed tired o' bein' told I'm gittin' ole ever' time I express my opinion about a lot o' th' stuff that's bein' pulled t'day," says Abe Martin in the well-known cartoon. "O' course, ther's alius been spoonin' in dimly lighted parlors, an' wistaria-clad . verandas, but girls wore somethin' besides breech cloths, an' boys didn' hold up livery stables fer money t' show 'em a good time. "Mebbe our girls are wiser, more frank an' open an' self-reliant than they used t' be, but I'd hate t' marry one an' have any loose hammers or book ends layin' around, unless I owned a bank. An' it's probably true that never has our boys been as nifty lookin', as advanced, an' as capable an' as resourceful as they are t'day, but jest th' same I'd hate t' run a fillin' station or meet a flock o' them on a dark night. "I remember when young ladies used t' hitch behind th' courthouse so's nobuddy could see 'em step in an' out o' ther buggies. I don't know what sort o' stockin's they had on, or how they stacked up, but they never sued for any alimony. Th' girl o' t'day would try t' step on a camel if th' crowd wuz big enough." POP" WARNER SUCCEEDS IN PUTTING OUT GOOD TEAMS Hen Lays 306 Eggs In 336 Day Period In 336 days, a white leghorn hen in the fourth national egg laying contest produced eggs weighing 8.2 times her own weight. Her total was 306 eggs which averaged 22 ounces per dozen, or a total of 35 pounds. The hen weighs 434 pounds. During these 336 days this hen rested only 30 days. She is the leader in the contest.- The hen is owned by Marshall Farm, Mobile, and. premises to produce several more eggs before the end of the contest, she having three more weeks to add to her 306-egg record. "Other coaches have flashed more brightly across certain fall seasons when all America is football mad," says Dick Hyland, a Warner football star, writing about the Pacific Coast coach. "Two others have service records as long. A few have defeated him, but none have equalled 'Pop' Warner's best performances. And combining his thirty-three years > of activity, the teams and stars he has turned out, the drastic progress he has forced in our favorite sport, and his own unique personality, he holds his title securely. "Warner can see a team play and find more flaws in their defense, more blocks for their offense and more characteristic 'give away' traits in the players than any man living. Stanford has never been accused of playing dirty football even before Warner came there, but had it been a practice before the advent of the old man he would have put a stop to it. He sees every bit of it pulled in a game. "One of the secrets of Pop's success," continues Hyland, "is his knack of putting men where they belong. He turns average halfbacks into successful ends, makes star guards out of poor quarters, dependable centers out of erratic tackles and vice versa. "His teams fight as much for Pop as they fight for their Alma Mater. And when Pop tells you to do something, you go out and do better than your best to win. One thing Pop does not do—and it is illustrative of the way he handles his men—is to bawl them aside when he has anything unflattering to say. "His system—the Warner system so often mentioned wherever football men gather to talk about the game— has taken thirty years to build. Today it is one of the simplest and most effective in football. Pop has a flock of basic plays which he gives his team the first week every season. During a season he will give approximately sixty plays; about twenty of them will be used. A rival coach once said that if Stanford had a quarter ready to call the plays Pop gives Stanford teams, no one in the country could hold Stanford under six touchdowns. "The players never get familiar with Pop, never feel close to him personally, although they do wisecrack him occasionally and he likes it. He is one of the crowd when he is with other people, and his favorite indoor sport is to gather several old-timers around him and have a 'remember when' game. His stock of anecdotes and stories—parlor, bedroom, bath and football—is inexhaustible." Idle people are naturally attracted to busy people! How they must envy them!

JONES DEPLORES LACK OF INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL TRAINING Southern colleges are doing little to prepare their students to cope with the growing industrialism of the South, according to an article by Professor Howard Mumford Jones, of the University of North Carolina English department in the October issue of The New Student. "Nowhere in the South," he says, "has the study of economics proceeded so far as to offer notable graduate work in this field. Only belatedly lias the study of sociology come to be an effective force in southern university life, and at that, only in a few schools. Yet it is evident that the South needs now as it needed a hundred years ago, an effective examination of the foundations upon which the industrial system is to be built." "***Such college men as are now in control of southern business were graduated (if they are alumni of southern colleges) at a time when modern departments of economics and sociology were almost unknown and necessarily they believe in, and operate under a lassez f aire system of economic life which makes the Harvard or Columbia student rub his eyer in wonder. But I doubt whether there is any sinister control by southern universities which prevents the growth of economic thought in that region. The situation is far subtler. "One truth—one profound truth— in the general .situation is that the southern undergraduate is blankly indifferent alike to economic theory and to the insipient and baffling problems of the new order in the South. It is only natural that he OF BIRMINGHAM The Newest Styles First— The Best Values Always— "PUSS" TYLER Student Representative should be so. Typically the product of a small community, typically also the product of an upper middle-class family, he does not know, because he has never seen, such industrial areas as the coal fields of Pennsylvania, the mills of New Jersey, the manufacturing region around the Great Lakes. He cannot envision, for he has neither experience nor data to go on, the possibility that in the future there may be southern industrial areas of the same hideous ugliness, the same raw and gigantic energy. Even if his teachers tell him. "It is out of this dilemma that southern colleges must somehow find their way. As yet, it would seem, they have not on the whole found any solution. What is even more depressing, there are a good many southern institutions of learning in which the need for awakening an interest in so cial problems is not even felt. Shel tered behind the liberal arts curricu lum, these colleges continue to edu cate gentlemen and gentlewomen They frown on Mencken but they do not substitute anybody half as inter esting in his place. And in these schools which are beginning to survey the actualities of life around them, most of the battle for academic free dom is yet to be fought—that is, the right and necessity for universities to investigate economic and social phe nomena has in most cases yet to be established. The campaign, when it is fought, will be an absorbing one but the present collegiate attitude does not seem likely to furnish many recruits. It is possible that a change of literary diet might awaken the old flame of enthusiasm for southern things and themes. It is a hopeful sign that the negro literature of the present awakens a wide interest among southern undergraduates— here at least is one situation in which they are very much alert. But until the hold of Menckenism among the undergraduates is broken, or until it wanes, we cannot look for much for ward-going interest in the new South and its problems."

Besides these entertainers he has six other instrumentalists, each equally as good as the headliners. Rudy and His Orchestra go on the air once a week through WSB, Atlanta, and have made a number of hits with radio fans far and wide. Recently in a radio contest for selecting the best all around radio orchestra Rudy and his "ten followers" were judged the most popular and best all-around radio orchestra in the South.

This team composed of Biard of Iowa, Spencer of Stanford, Barbuti of Syracuse, and Alderman of Michigan State set two new world's records white running in the guidance of the Hutsell system. The records which they hold are the Olympic record, and World's record in the 1600 meter relay and the World's record in the one mile relay which wa smade in London after the Olympic games. * * * * * Europe has the greatest air service of any other continent. The train service is very punk and therefore they do most all the travel by plane. Something like five hundred^ passengers are carried in and out of Paris daily by plane. All weak stomachs should stay off these planes. The trains have cars which are divided into 1st, 2nd. and 3rd class, and even into the 4th. class. The fourth class looks like stalls and right tricky. Coach "Dink" Templeton, who has been very successful at Stanford University in the track game and who was the youngest of the Olympic coaches bought a bicycle immediately after the boat had docked. This two-wheel affair saved Templeton quite a bit of taxi fare, but his garage bill ran up to very high sums. They had garages to park bicycles just like the autos. Holland is a very good country, but the people are so dumb. * * * * * One of the frankest statements that I ever heard was made by Roland Locke while feeling a bit under the weather during the trip across the duck pond. Locke was looking a bit peeked when a friend who was watching him very closely, as he leaned over the rail of the deck, asked, "say, Locke your stomach seems to be weak." Locke replied that he was "shooting his lunch just as far or farther than any one else." TIGER FRESHMEN OVERWHELM BABY PANTHERS 25 TO 2 IN OPENING GAME (Continued from page 4) three off right tackle.

Personality Contest On In The Village The "Personality Plus Coed" the Auburn Players desire for the college play soon to be given must fulfill the following requirements: She must be personally attractive in appearance though not necessarily beautiful; vivacious but not flippant; temperamental but not tempestuous; popular but well poised. In other words, she should be the kind of girl that everybody likes, a good sport in the great game of life. Have we such a girl at Auburn? Certainly—many of them, no doubt. Nominations are now in order—and votes too. Fill in the accompanying blank which is both a nomination and a vote and deposit it in the ballot box labeled "Personality Contest" at The Tiger Drug Store. Vote early and may the best candidate win! I cast my vote for: Miss Signed Nobody likes compulsion but we must all submit to it if we hope to get along in this world. At forty some women are more attractive than they were at twenty, but the number is limited. The world is amused rather than impressed by the man who doesn't know when he's beaten. Beat Florida! If the girls made a practice of asking the advice of their swain's employer before accepting a proposal, a lot of marriages would be postponed indefinitely. MARQUETTE GETS NEW MONICKER Origin of the nickname by which the Marquette university football team has been known for several years is credited to a young sports writer, now headlining for a New York city daily, who gave that monicker to Coach Frank J. Murrays' eleven after watching them crush Boston college and the University of Detroit on successive Saturdays in the fall of 1923. Additional reason for calling the Marquette eleven the Golden Avalanche is had in the fact that 10,443 pounds of humanity, more than five tons, compose the 1928 Marquette squad. That is the total weight of the sixty-one players on the squad, giving an average of 171 pounds. The trouble with a woman who can add up a long column of figures correctly is that she can never get her hair to look right. Beat Florida! Oglethorpe Expecting Large Enrollment With one hundred and fifty freshmen applications for admission on file and an expected enrollment of more than five hundred students, Oglethorpe University opened her doors Wednesday, September 26, for the thirteenth collegiate year. No increase in the size of the student body is contemplated at present. Dr. Thorn-well Jacobs, president of the University, points out that the present number is ideal until the expansion program is carried out in that it affords the entire student body an opportunity for personal instruction from members of the faculty and avoids the evil of crowded class-rooms. Life is something like continuous vaudeville—half the people are looking around for "This Way Out" and the other half for "This Way In."

Electricity opens a new era of ocean travel Miraculously quiet and vibration-less, luxurious and swift, the new electrically operated S. S. California, largest American-built passenger ship, has opened a new era in ocean travel. Electricity drives the California so efficiently that the fuel bill for the initial coast-to-coast trip was even less than the Canal tolls. Electricity mans the winches, bakes the bread, makes the ice, polishes the silver. And electricity cools the cabins and provides passengers with the comforts found in the finest hotels. Complete electrification makes the California an engineering marvel and a commercial success; it is booked far in advance, a sister ship has just been launched, and another is under construction.

The dances will be informal. The bids, which number nearly eight hundred, were mailed the early part of the week. If the above figure is any indication there will be a record number of girls at the coming dances. Rudy Brown and His Orchestra have been playing for a large number of script and fraternity dances in the Atlanta district during the summer months and the early fall. Extended engagements have already been filled at the University of Georgia for all of their coming dances. Rudy has also booked Tennessee and Sewanee for their opening affairs. The very latest dance floor hits will be introduced here by this orchestra. Rudy, who is a past Victor recorder and a present Columbia artist, has quite a few famous artists among his musicteers. His "Sax team" composed of two old orchestra leaders, namely Bob Lee, Charlie Troutt, and himself, cannot be beaten when it comes to making jazz's jazziest instrument talk. He will also feature Daniel "In The Lion's Den" Hornsby, famous for having been the first man (Continued on page 6) SOCIAL FRATERNITIES ANNOUNCE PLEDGES Auburn opened the 1928-29 session with one of the largest freshman classes in history. Seemingly the Fraternities all took advantage of this, because never before has there been so many pledges. Below are listed the fraternities of Auburn with their respective pledges: PI KAPPA ALPHA: Piatt Boyd, Birmingham; William Harris, Camden; H. R. Phillips, Atlanta; Thomas Kirkland, Union Springs; Sam Cutler, Ensley; Prank Ellis, Columbiana; George Harrison, Bessemer; Joe Jenkins, La Fayette; Ben Babson, Greenville; Douglas Reynolds, Selma; Dozier Roberts, Union Springs; William Taylor, Birmingham; Edmund England, Birmingham.

Thomson, Gleenwood; (Continued to page 3) FACULTY HOLDS SECOND DANCE {Lieutenant and Mrs. Leitch Feature "Harvest Dance" Tiger Sandwich Shop Is To Open Shortly The newest addition to Auburn's business district will be the Tiger Sandwich Shop, which is to open in the new Tiger Theatre building. Mr. Oxendine, the proprietor, plans to be open for business by October 10th. The Shop will be equipped with the most modern sandwich equipment. Besides counter and curb service, six tables will be at the disposal of the after-dance and theatre crowds. Judging from the progress already made in the interior decorating and general appearance of the Shop, it will be quite a creditable addition to Auburn. The faculty held its second dance of the season in the gym last night. Thirty couples were present. Max Jones and his "Collegiate Eight" orchestra furnished the music for the affair, and, in conjunction with the delightful punch, helped greatly to liven things up. The dance was supposed to have been a "Harvest Dance." Everyone was expected to wear masquerade costumes. True, Lieutenant Leitch came dressed as "Uncle Bud", with a red flannel shirt and inner tube suspenders, and his wife represented his daughter with long curls and hair iribbon; however the majority of the remaining dancers were evidently unaware of announcements concerning the character of the dance. The dance as a whole, though, was most enjoyable, and if it be any indication of the success of future dances, the faculty has much to which it might look forward. To Play for Sophomore Hop Next Week End DOGGED PLAYING BY BOTH TEAMS FEATURES GAME AS BATTLE IS FOUGHT IN MUD Clemson scores in last quarter when Justus intercepts pass and runs for touchdown. Chappelle plays brilliant game for Auburn; Rejuvenated Tiger team battles with best Clemson team seen at Auburn in many years; Auburn Tigers show great improvement in fundamentals of the game; Bohler's passing attack begins to function properly; First half ends in downfall of rain; McCarley, Mulherin and Davis shine for Mountain Tigers; Bohler uses practically entire squad in various combinations; Punting of Chappelle is feature of Auburn attack; Schlich plays great defensive game at guard; Slippery ball and field make game exciting. September Issue Auburn Alumnus Is Now Available Interesting Photographs And Articles Feature Issue The September issue of the Auburn Alumnus has just come off the press. The blue cover is attractively decorated with the Auburn seal in orange. Throughout the magazine are many interesting photographs, one of a beautiful campus scene, one of Dr. Knapp and his family, and others. One of the features of this issue is an article entitled "Pioneer Days of the Theater in Alabama," by Professor J. R. Rutland, Head Professor of English. This sketch is vitally interesting to any Alabamian. Another feature of note is an article in which President Knapp forecasts a great program for Auburn's development, and outlines plans for an era of progress.

Social Committee Adds Two Members Last week two new members of the Social Committee were announced. The committee reports that to fill the Senior vacancy Tom Walthall, Theta Chi, has been chosen. The Freshman selected is Randa Gross, Phi Delta Theta. Tom Walthall General Business is a popular member of the Senior Class. He is well-known for the interest that he has taken in all college activities during his three years here. Gross is already well known not only by all of the Freshmen, but by many upper-classmen as well. Auburn students, undaunted by their loss of last Friday night, assembled in a huge crowd in Langdoh Hall last night. The display of spirit on this occasion was indicative of old times, for the auditorium was overflowing. Everyone present was wild with enthusiasm from the start. Tyler and Baxter, assisted by two Freshmen, led the cheers—and what cheers! The roof on Langdon Hall must have been raised at least a foot. Prexy was there, of course, and with as much of the "Ole Auburn Spirit" as it is possible for one man to have. He gave a short address, stressing the fact that Auburn students should not be downhearted about losing one game, especially when a great victory would be won on the morrow. "Doc" Knapp contributed a new song that certainly should go a long way to helping Auburn BEAT CLEMSON! Here's the way it goes: A-u-b-u-r-n, That spells A. P. I, A-u-b-u-r-n, We'll shout your word Hi-Hi, For heroes brave will win the game, The team will fight for our good name. A-u-b-u-r-n, That spells vic-to-ry!

GLEE CLUB HOLDS F I R S T PRACTICE Great Season Seen By Director "Bedie" Bidez The songbirds of Auburn have awakened: the first Glee Club practice was held last Monday night. Many of the old members are back while there are many new one6 to fill the vacancies left by graduates. Auburnites have always had cause to be full proud of their Glee Club, for its programs have always been full of pep and have gone over big everywhere they have been presented. It is the belief of "Chief" Bidez, director, that with the present material he will soon have developed one of the best Glee Clubs in ths South. Reporters Course Added By College Hopes To Improve Quality of Articles in Plainsman The English Department is planning to schedule a semester hour in Journalism aside from the regular three hour course. This instruction is for the benefit of those who write news articles for the Plainsman. The object of this is to advise the reporters as to the things that make a good news article; they will also be instructed in writing leads and heads for articles. This course is expected to start within a short time. PLAY-BY-PLAY 1st Quarter Clemson defended North goal. Auburn kicked off to Clemson's twenty-five yard line. Ball was returned fifteen yards.

One Game Lost Is Not An Entire Season Lost All present "whisperings" are not purely political; going the rounds are being exchanged ideas among a minority of wary dissenters weak arguments relative to a rather down-cast position for the Plainsman footballers throughout this season. This is permissable, though by no means advisable for those who wish to gather a harvest of truthful elements and a substantial outlook. Coach Bohler and his Tiger cohorts are energetically alive and working; there is far more to the story than the wayward results of today suggest to restless, "do-something-quick" onlookers and hasty observers. Some talk because they have nothing else to do and for the half-hearted thrill of predictions; other talk for the sake of being heard—some for sport, and unluckily many against sports; and still others look in only one direction—backward—to issue their mutterings. Then there are those who simply don't know. Unfortunately, there is no available law against this trend of propaganda. As a result of thorough research, only one state is definitely known to support the issue— that of ignorance. With all respect to" those who talk and talk and talk, the situation in the Village camp is one of no mean outlook, as one might conclude from drifting calculations. According to the law of scores, Auburn was defeated in the opening tilt of the season. This mighty Institution of the Plains, listed with a worthy group of Southern Conference colleges, has stooped to openhanded defeat from a supposedly little machine ranking only in S. I. A. A. circles—what a downright shame and disgrace ! But there is another slant on the story— one being overlooked too often. Suffering from an inferiority complex involving thirteen consecutive defeats, Auburn is now rising from a below-level status. Existing conditions make it a stark impossibility for a victory sweeping team to emerge within a fortnight. Besides, great teams just aren't built within a day. The program being instituted by the present Tiger mentor covers a period of years, rather than a single game. Looking back over the past three years, and possibly longer, we view the Tiger machine in slowly sinking operations. This decline must first be checked, and then the laboring processes of regaining lost heights put into effect. The plan of the present coaching staff is not to spend a season's energy on an opening game, but to climb with the years. Evidence to the reasonable observer discloses the fact that a foundation for future football is being laid ' at Auburn. Coach Bohler is in no wise apologetic concerning results thus far; he expressed himself as fairly well pleased with the results of the game against Birmingham- Southern. Admitting that the opponents outplayed his team, he has no abibis whatever to offer. The defeat has been taken gamely, and will be used to advantage. Coach Bohler announced upon his arrival at Auburn last spring that his team would lose some games this season, and would win some of the games. He chooses to place the depression in the beginning, in order to build succesively from the bottom. Sound judgment and action is prevalent in his program. Auburn lost to Southern; but there are other games to be played. The confidence and support of all loyal Auburn supporters accompany the coaching staff and the squad. The general has said, "We will lose some games, and we will win some games." Some Schools Treat Freshman Badly We have heart quite a bit said about the conduct of Auburn students of late. Some rather hard things have been said about our methods of arousing school spirit and the resulting wild rampages by which this spirit is expressed. However, we feel that our adverse critics should judge us .relatively. We heard a man talking. about another school the other day. His account of the means by which new men are 'oriented at that school was interesting, if true. The freshmen go to that school with a knowledge of its fairious spirit gained before they see the campus. They go with open minds and hearts, willing to be taught to do as their predecessors have done, and to acquire the famous spirit of the school. With this plastic material to work with the upperclassmen lose no time in making the new men into collegians. They know that they will be believed and followed explicitly. They force the freshmen to shave their heads, and tell them to stop shaving their faves. They teach them to leave off ties, coats and socks. They tell the new men that no collegian wears pressed trousers and that he doesn't need to comb his hair. The freshman is forced to do servile work for upperclassmen, many of whom he cannot respect, and few of whom are his betters. He is beaten into subjection with a bed slat and scorned if he doesn't take it like a donkey. He is thus forcibly deprived of all egoism and individuality; he is ground into the mass and is told to shout when the others shout; he is humiliated to the nth degree and told to like it. A loud mouth and a coarse vocabulary are extolled as the earmarks of a loyal student. These upperclassmen then take the freshmen to football games; they get the innocents wildly excited and incite them to commit assault, vandalism, arson, and most of the more serious crimes in the calendar. The freshman who tries to stop and reason about what he should do to support the football team is beaten again. He must do as the others do or suffer. We are glad that no such conditions exist at Auburn; we rejoice that our freshmen are led in enthusiastic cheers by intelligent upperclassmen and are kept from running around the streets yelling like maniacs. It is a source of pride to us that Auburn upperclassmen deter thoughtless freshmen who let their excitement get away with them from acting in a manner that would bring disgrace upon the school. We are glad that the man wasn't talking about Auburn. Forget Your Modesty; Help the Band One of the most inspiring things an Auburn man can experience is to hear the Auburn Band peel forth its music. It is one of the most pleasant sounds that can fall on our ears, and in the hearts of most of us there exists gratitude that nothing can take away. Pride and joy swell the field, and we boastfully proclaim that that is our band "doing her stuff." Wo go to football games, full of pep; we have a feeling that there is nothing that can take a victory from us. Sometimes though, lady luck and the gods of battle combine their forces to defeat our purposes; it is then that the band sends forth its music to help us over a disheartening moment. In fact, what would be the result if we didn't have the band at most of the games. Could we have a really successful game without it? It is hard to think so. None of us think that we very well could, judging from the fact that everything possible is done to send the band on all the trips. We send them on these trips to help the gridiron warriors to win a victory, and to bring a sometimes doubtful issue to a successful close. The yells are given much better when the band helps out. So we see that the band plays an important role during the season by being the giver of hope and inspiration. We can easily brag on the Auburn Band, for it is by far the best that has ever been our pleasure to listen to. We can take greater pride in it when we realize that it is composed of students who have come here to learn to do something just as the rest of us have. They are giving their time and talent to help Auburn the same way that others help her by bringing honor and glory to her in some other way. However, there is one discordant feature about the band on the football trips. The fellows in the band get out there and give their all to help the team win; they furnish music for the songa. But will the students help out by singing? They will not. Instead one would be led to believe that they take a keen delight in listening to the band when they should be singing the songs and helping to cheer the team. Fellows, not so long ago it wasn't that way. Why do we have to let it be that way now when we could help so much without very much effort on our part? Fellows, the band plays for us at the games and it is our duty to sing the songs that are played, especially the football songs. So let's get in there and show them our appreciation by supporting them all we passibly can. It is nothing more than we should do. Not in the Curriculum Why do young men and women go to college? It would not be altogether incorrect to reply, For what the curriculum does not offer. Freshmen are generally advised by older undergraduates to "get into activities" if they hope to make their college life worth while. Whether the various extra-curricular activities are all that they are held up as being is another question. In a volume entitled comprehensively "Under-gradu-ates," described as a "study of morale" in a score of American colleges and universities and issued by the Institute of Social and Religious Research, both the benefits and the evils of college "activities" are set forth. The benefits are apparent enough—development of initiative, training of special qualities, experience in the give and take of cooperative effort. The evils are apt to be less in the nature of the activities than in the excess to which they are indulged in. Extra-curricular activities, whatever their defects, are in our colleges and universities to stay. They help to make these institutions accord with our ideal of something more than a place to study. In this country the term "college life" has large significance. The practical question regarding these activities, therefore, is not whether they ought to be abolished or not, but how they can be freed of their worst ills and thus be rendered more beneficial. In some colleges there is official recognition of these activities to the extent of limiting the number in which one student may engage at one time. This negative policy might well be transformed into a positive policy which, without injuring the spontaneity of the activities, would prevent them from running away with those who go into them. As our income increases our former extravagancies become necessities, and we discover new follies. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The love of an old graduate for his college is hard to define but it is a real force nevertheless. What does the old graduate love about the institution? The buildings, the grounds, the old scenes, or even the old members of the faculty, are these the chief cause of this interesting sentiment? Yes, I expect all of them have their bearing, all of them are parts of the loyalty and love of the "old grad." But after all I think he has in his mind a sort of an idealized vision of Alma Mater something akin to his love of his country, his home, his native land. Whatever it is, the opportunity to entertain these old graduates here during home-coming is a real privilege. All of us hope they went away with hopes undimmed and loyalty undiminished. * * * * * * I went over to see the boys in Alumni Hall and to make a little call on "Mother Berney." "Mother Berney" is proud of her boys as all mothers are and I am sure that pride rests on a good foundation. They are a fine group of boys. A lot of responsibility rests upon them. They are in a show place where everybody sees and knows them. And then, if we do well with them and they make dormitories popular and respected here, it will be so much easier to provide better accommodations for hundreds of other boys by building new dormitories. We ned their help. * * * * * True loyalty and true "spirit" are always shown best when the team is defeated. There these are manifest more than in victory. Anybody can be a good sport and anybody can be a loyal, shouting Auburn-ite when the team wins. What real men are made of is shown in the shadow of defeat. So called loyal students and alumni can destroy morale by criticism which fails to construct but rather tears down, by sheer fault-finding, by the old "propaganda" route, by taking on an air of "gloom". Here at Auburn we have no place for the "gloom-hound." Courage, fortitude, real loyalty, hearts and minds united, undismayed, are necessities. Gossip, fault-finding, maudlin sympathy for players not in the game or replaced during play will tear real spirit to pieces. The biggest thing to overcome is SELF-DEFEAT. Who will help overcome this one thing? « AUBURN FOOTPRINTS « SPEED—BUT WHICH WAY? Judge: Ah—70 miles an hour. What is your reason for such speed?

The said article is guaranteed to get every button and a few button holes. They have put in a new pressing machine and it is much better than the old one because I recently received a pair of trousers with two distinct creases in them. It is being rumored that every employee of the laundry has to become a member of one of the following fraternities, 'Phi Strippa Button' or "Rippa a New Shirt', 'I Delta Stain.' If the above is true why should we not organize a 'Riska What You Got' brotherhood'." * * * * * * * * Because so many friends gol dern 'em, Who borrow volumes and don't return 'em, "Ex^Liberis" on my bookplate looks As if it means "my former books." * * * * * * * * Judge (to guilty man): "You are going to have the time of your life." * * * * * * * * Each morning brings to the flapper a nuder day. * * * * * * * * They never walk back when I take them out bragged the undertaker. * * * * * * * * The caller was young and quite charming.

Dr. Petrie's Thursday night farce in Current Events has been reduced, to three thousand students in order that he may give personal attention to each pupil and write their mothers and fathers about' the progress being made by their sons. * Auburn released an End and a Tackle last week unconditionally. Two halfbacks were farmed out to Mercer University. In a trade with the University of Georgia, Auburn received a two hundred pound center in exchange for a guard and a halfback. The faculty has been greatly reduced this year as a result of the installation of Vitaphones in each class room, making it necessary for the faculty to consist of only the President and the Deans of each department. With the aid of radio station WAPI and its representatives, the Extension Department is now carrying on its work in all the nations of the Earth except seven. The total enrollment for this year has not yet been determined owing to the fact that registration has been completed only three weeks ago, but from the information we get from the registrars office, the count has reached to about nineteen thousand students. Dr. Knapp is very encouraged over the increased enrollment and predicts that the count will be well about twenty thousand, when completed. It is with deep regret that we learn about the death of seven hundred of the Freshman class, last week, due to an epidemic of the Black Death. No one seemed to know any of the deceased Freshmen, nor were there records about them in the college, so the bodies were sent over to the Chemistry department for the Sophomore medical students. BOOK REVIEW « CHILDREN OF DIVORCE By Edith Wharton New York: D. Appleton & Company $2.50 Mrs. Wharton has been wont to display her characters with edge and elegance. Whether it is old New York or the gnarled reaches of back country New England, her stories are likely to be as finished and meticulous in detail as a period room, as clear yet remote as the swirling goldfish in a glass aquarium. In the years following the war, when old forms of living were broken and new ones yet to be evolved, she seemed to be reaching backward to decades which, at least as seen from a distance, achieve a sense of pattern alien to the heedless modern. But in her most recent novels, and especially this latest, "The Children," she is delving quite consciously into the formlessness of contemporary life. "The children" were seven, ranging from Judy, who was nearly sixteen, down to Chip, just learning to balance himself reliably on his fat little legs. They were the product of four marriages in which Cliffe and Joyce Wheater somehow had been involved. Five of them bore the name of Wheater—Judith, the twins, Terry and Blanca; Zinnie, the child of Cliffe and a "movie" actress, and Chip, born after Cliffe and Joyce were married to each other a second time at the urging of their eldest child. The other two, Bun and Beechy—or, more properly, Astorre and Beatrice—were the children of Prince Buondelmonte and a circus performer. Joyce Wheater had been married to the prince while Cliffe was disporting himself with the "movie" actress, and when those marriages crashed and the Wheaters made up with each other the two "steps" were casually added to their original offspring and Cliffe's new acquisition. Bun and Beechy's father was otherwise engaged; there always was money enough; Judy's warm heart could take them all in; so why not? The story opens as Martin Boyne, a cautious bachelor of forty-six, was on his way to the Dolomites to meet the lady whom he had loved from afar for many years, now just freed by widowhood from her unhappy marriage. On the steamer were "the children", a governess and two nurses, en route to the Lido to visit Cliffe and Joyce, who quite naturally couldn't be expected to travel with a troupe, but managed to arange rendezvous in palacehotels from time to time. Martin was interested, charmed, then engulfed. Trouble was brewing, for not even the new steam yacht gave Cliffe and Joyce enough amusement in common to offset the potential parties and past spouses basking on the sands of the Adriatic, and Judy foresaw that another crisis was at hand. Almost before he knew it Martin had been drawn in as consultant, referee and trial guardian of the brood. The first part of the book seems likely at time to be swamped with the exuberant gyrations of a young tribe as various and agile as Margaret Kennedy's Sanger circus. But in the relation of Martin to Rose Sellars, who practiced as a lovely art the arranging and ordering of her own life, and the over-wise child Judy, whom circumstances never had permitted to act save on warm-hearted impulse, there is a subtle and increasingly absorbing conflict in treating which Mrs. Wharton is at her best. Rose Sellars had acquired the capacity for self-discipline and self-effacement which good breeding prizes; she was beautiful and wise and understanding, save when it came to people whose values in living violated every habit of her own, and whose children, reared in another world, had been compelled to accept its exigencies as the price of existence. Even in their case she struggled against intolerance. To Martin it became a tussle between the reasonable ways on which his life was founded and the impulses which must serve as guide when reason is forgotten or inadequate. "The Children" has not the technical symmetry and the surety of idea which gave "Old New York," for example, the cold and balanced beauty of a crystal chandelier. But in addition to the light which one is accustomed to associate with her work, it has more than Mrs. Wharton's accustomed warmth, and with the wider tolerance and sympathy which that warmth makes possible it delves deeply into an aggravated instance of the great American dilemma, showing it with courage, vigor and discrimination. MEDITATIONS ON THIS AND THAT S y ''Benjamin Trovost-~ EDITORIAL NOTE: The opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal comment, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * •* DEAR SIR: I read your column pretty regularly and sometimes enjoy it. I think that you should take the space to answer the slanderous letter which was printed on the editorial page in the last issue. There is but one way to give rats the old Auburn spirit, and that is with a bed-slat. If that makes them a little unruly at times, we ought to be able to overlook it. They have acted that way for a long time, and it has not hurt anyone, and Auburn has been known for its old spirit. Auburn is not a tea-hound university and we ought to be proud if our rats act like he-men and not like nice little boys. This Ivanhoe Silva is not a true Auburn man; he is a traitor for his attitude toward our spirit. Outsiders don't get the wrong opinion; they realize that boys must be boys. —W. S. * * * * * THE WRITER of the above states that he has read this column before. If he has done so, and does not know that I cannot take issue with this Ivanhoe Silva then my opinion of my ability to state my opinions clearly is lowered considerably . I think that I have mentioned this subject of Auburn Spirit before. My views are substantially the same as those of Silva, although I have never expressed them quite as vehemently as did the gentleman of the romantic non de plume. Time after time have men appeared before the student body and have wirtten the authorities here complaining of outrageous conduct on the part of irresponsible students. If there were but a few isolated instances of this conduct then I would want to suppress them, but it is now a common occurrance for Auburn students to commit vandalism and many other crimes. Therefore I cannot differ with the correspondent in the bulk of his statements. The situation is a delicate one; one which requires delicate handling by strong leaders. A leader in the president's office cannot cope with it alone, neither can a leader in the student body, but with both of them some change can be made. We have the leader in the office. A diagnosis of the situation seems rather simple to me. It is this; a certain olass of men at Auburn are handicapped mentally and morally. Through no fault of their own their individual instincts have been suppressed until those instincts have become impotent in the motivation of action or thought. Their mob instincts have been over-developed and supply the sole motivating force. I don't believe that there is a man in Auburn who would get out on the street alone in the daylight and run about with his clothes half off, shouting and swearing at the top of his voice, as he hindered traffic, entered the picture show, stole property and broke show-windows. As a mob, there is nothing under the wide sky that I will put beyond the average Auburn freshmen. There is a difference between concerted action and mob action. One is intelligently motivated—the other is motivated exactly as are the actions of a flock of undomesticated sheep. The mob instincts are a direct result of the system of hazing in vogue at Auburn which kills the man and creates the unit. We encourage the freshman only in making noise and running around in circles after mass meetings. A natural result is the wild conduct exhibited when the students are under emotional stress during football season. They simply don't know any better and see no harm in releasing their enthusiasm by acting with no regard for decency. There is something fundamentally wrong in the methods which we use to instill that mythical "spirit" in our freshmen. Their conduct impresses the outsider as being nothing short of barbarous. Men don't want to send their boys to school where they are taught to be raving maniacs. I must agree with Mr. Silva—I'm sorry to disappoint W. S. I KNOW THAT ANY WEED CAN TELL I know that any weed can tell And any red leaf knows That what is lost is found again To blossom in a rose. The weakest is the strongest, too; For any moss has shown How strong its frailest fingers are To spit the biggest stone. And so I go my quiet way As any quiet thing; I know the weed and moss too well To be afraid to sing. —Louis Ginsberg. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1928 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE • a ~P*i r=\ JACK McLESKEY, Sports Editor, DICK JONES, TAD McCALLUM, T. W. WINTER, Assistants Tiger Freshmen Overwhelm Baby Panthers 25 to 2 in Opening Game t Brilliant Offensive Flashed By Rats in First Encounter By Tad McCallum Auburn's "Baby Tigers" opened up their 1928 season by overwhelming the Birmingham-Southern Frosh eleven to the tune of 25 to 2 on Drake Field Friday afternoon. The Auburn rats uncorked a brilliant offensive attack that swept the Southern Freshmen off their feet and the defensive work of the Tiger Cubs was splendid for an opening encounter. After the first half, Coach Brown kept a steady flow of substitutions entering the game and all acquitted themselves nobly. Auburn supporters have long looked forward to a strong Rat eleven and nearly two thousand of these fans saw their prayers answered in today's battle. It will be difficult to find a set of Freshman backs in any southern college as versatile and powerful as the fourteen backs that Coach Brown used in the encounter. The line was a stone jwall to the line-bucking efforts of the Southern backs and only two first downs were made through the Auburn forward wall. The Tiger Frosh suffered a casualty in the first quarter when "Frock" Pate, star halfback, was removed from the game with a twisted ankle. He was replaced by Smith. Hatfield gave the Southern rats plenty of worry with his elusive stepping. The Montgomery boy got away on several long jaunts, twice for touchdowns. Young directed the team as well, in the first half and did some neat running himself. Davidson and Smith also turned in first rate performances in the rear works. Simpkins, Bush, Andrews, McRee, Stone and the rest of the Auburn linesmen broke through time after time to smear Southern plays and halt the backs for losses. For the Southern Rate, Blanton and Lovelace in the backfield and Doane in the line were the star performers. Auburn made nine first downs to Southern's four. Southern threatened to score in the fourth quarter when a pass and series of line bucks placed the ball on Auburn's 2 yard line. The Auburn line held, however, and the ball went over. On the next play Smith was downed behind the goal line for a safety and two points for Southern. Following is a detailed account of the game: First Quarter B'ham Southern kicked off and Young received the ball and lugged it back 27 yards. Young hit the line for a three yard gain. Young plunged over tackle for another three yards. A pass, Young to Andrews was incomplete. Davidson punted to Blanton who returned to his own 20 yard line.

Baskin I two of the greatest competitors the The American Olympic Team got i game'has ever produced well under way when our own Euil Snider and Ray Barbuti great Syra il cuse football and track star clashed in the tryouts at Philadelphia in the early part of July . Throughout the grinding trials and during the whole Olympic trip these two boys furnish ed the bulk of excitement with their brotherly love arguments. Barbuti is known all over the east and other parts of the country as being one of the most confident and cocky runners that the game has ever produced. In fact he was hard to handle, but after a few days of handling by the speedy Euil the Syracuse star was overcome. Several times the Olympic Stars were complaining about the roll and rocking of the boat caused by what' they thought to be rough sea, but only to find out that it was a great argument between Snider and Barbuti. However, they were very close friends and Having the Olympic games every four years gives all the great track stars something in common to work for. It is by far the greatest sports carnival to be held and more athletes benefit from it than in any other sport . It affords many boys to see part of the world who otherwise could not make their own expenses. It also brings together athletes from the different parts of the country which is very beneficial to each and every one because of the personal contact. * * * * * You have heard it talked and read news in the various newspapers about the over-eating of the Olympic team, the soft tracks, an over-flow of managers and the like, but to my way of thinking we were up against some good athletes in the old country. Europe has just as good track men 4*;:;: By T. S. Winter October 6 marks the official opening of the Southern Conference Season as all of the teams swing into action, many for the first time. It will be a day of hard early season contests- struggles which may make or break some championship hopes. Fans all over the South will crowd the sidelines to watch and cheer their favorites in their first real test of strength. In the southern end of the conference, Auburn meets Clemson in their annual homecoming game. Friends and old Grads will watch with great interest the progress made by Coach Bohler at the Village of the Plains. Clemson, fresh from victories over Newberry and Davidson, face a bloodthirsty Auburn team that has lost only one homecoming game in the past twenty years. Perhaps one of the best games of the day will be the Alabama-Ole Miss game at Tuscaloosa. Ole Miss, after upsetting the dope last Saturday when they manhandled the Arkansas Razor-backs, has strong hopes of beating the Crimson Tide for the first time in modern football history. On the other hand Coach Wade will use an untried team in an effort to stop the thrusts of Ole Miss. Another very important contest is the game between Tulane and the Mississippi Aggies at Jackson, Miss; while Florida gets her first test under fire against Southern College at Lakeland. Up at Nashville, Vander-bilt meets Colgate in what will be the only intersectional contest of the day. In the opening game last week Vandy easily beat Chattanooga 20 to 0, and everyone is anxious to see how they will fare against strong opposition. The Commodores are picked by many sports to win the Southern Title this year. Of the other favorites, both Georgia and Georgia Tech swing into action for the first -time. The Bull By Tad McCallum Auburn students and followers are pointing with pride to the increasing number of Auburn athletes who, on graduation, are offered positions as coaches in the leading high schools of the state. These positions call for men of high character and it is a mark of distinction for Auburn that over twenty high schools throughout the state have employed Auburn men as coaches for the coming year. Some of these men have already made their mark in the coaching line and have turned out remarkably successful high school teams. It is only natural that a good many of the boys who are under these coaches should enter Auburn on graduation from high school. Wherever there is an Auburn man coaching, you may be sure that he will try to implant a little of the Auburn spirit into his team, and consequently each year the Freshman teams resemble more and more a real Tiger eleven. They enter school ready to fight for Auburn and as any follower of football will tell you, that means a lot. Over, in Montgomery, "Bull' Mc- Fadden, former Tiger linesman, has worked wonders with the Cloverdale High grid squad. Last season the team was undefeated and from present indications will be a contender for the championship again this fall. Several of the mainstays on this season's Frosh eleven received their Prep training under the guidance of Mc- Fadden. Cary Robinson, one of Auburn's greatest centers, has charge of the line at Birmingham-Southern and has developed a formidable forward wall, as those who saw the night game in Montgomery will testify. That same line should create a good deal of trouble for S. I. A. A. opponents this season. Other Auburn men who are making good in the Coaching profession over the state are: Tom Shotts, Athens; Joe Market, Gadsden; Buck Ellis, Bay Minette; "Nurmi" Nelson, Southern Military Academy, Greensboro; "Diz" Pruitt, Opelika; Earnest Garrett, Lineville; "Dog-Face" Sheridan, Enterprise; "Rupe" Alverson, Tus-kegee, Ed James, Marion High, Marion; "Hard-Boy" Pruitt, Atmore; Abe Robinson, Evergreen; Fox Howe, Brewton; and "Bozo" Self, Ramer. SPORTS STUFF III!! as the States however, they are not plentiful as they would like to see them. The United States has always had a monopoly in the game, but from now on distinction will not be as much in evidence. We the United States as a whole have been just a bit too confident over our own track stars. The next time the Olympic games are held in Europe it will be nip and tuck throughout the games as to who will win, but I think the Staters will always be on top because of her great array o? material. * * * * * t It seems strange for a man with one By Carol Porter Over in the fair city of Atlanta, where Georgia Tech, so neatly carried the Southern Football Championship last year and stored it away for safekeeping, we have an instance of a man though physically disable as it seems to take part in any branch of sports showing the south that it can be done, and has selected the mild game of football to compete in. George Faisst, although laboring under the handicap of a sub-normal vision will be seen on the southern gridiron wearing a -special constructed headgear with glasses built in enabling him to have practically a normal vision and any man dogs tackle Mercer at Athens while Tech goes up against a determined V. M. I. squad in Atlanta. Up in the Carolinas' the South Carolina-Virginia game holds the limelight, Coach Billy Laval's Gamecocks, who last Saturday trounced Stagg's Chicago Maroons in the first intersectional game of the season, will find determined opposition in the Cavaliers. At College Park, Maryland, with a speedy team, hope to stop what is rated the strongest North Carolina team in years.

COACH BURNHAM "Sheriff" LEE Carol Porter Coach Lee, is the latest addition to the Tiger coaching. Lee is one of Bohlers' products from Mississippi College, and is thoroughly acquainted with the system of football being taught at the village. Coach Lee brings with him to the Orange and Blue camp, having made a very impressive name for himself while at Mississippi, being one of the few four letter men of the south. He spent the summer playing baseball for Macon .Georgia where he was voted the most popular player on the team. We welcome Coach Lee to the Fairest Village of the Plains. of the world's greatest sprinters and the holder of world's records. This person is none other than Roland Locke, famous University of Nebraska track, football and baseball star. His left leg is the shortest and he can run the curves faster than any other human and also holds the world's record in the 200 meter and the 220 yard dashes. He has tied the accepted world's record in the 100 yard dash as many as six times, with a loafing time of 9.6. The time for the century is 20.6. Many times during the races, I have had to take him out on the grass and twist his right hip and then jerk it back into position. One of the best, if not the greatest trainer in these United States is none other than Coach W. H. Hutsell, who is Track Coach and football trainer here at Auburn. In talking to Mr. M. P. Halpin, who is Chairman of the New York Athletic Club and one of the largest athletic heads in New York told me recently that Hutsell had his mile relay team in in the greatest shape of any of the runners (Continued on page 6) team ready to tackle Maryland. Carolina's other entry in the Conference, North Carolina State, has a worthy foe in the Washington and Lee Generals. ^ Other games while not so important as these, finds Sewanee, with a more promising team than usual, pitted against Texas A. & M.; Kentucky warming up with Carson-Newman; L. S. U. playing Southwest Louisiana Inst.; V .P. I. grappling with Hamp-den- Sidney; and Tennessee lined up against the Praying Colonels of Centre. with the "Guts" and determination to play under such a handicap is sure to make good. We voice our admiration of a man like George Faisst, and wish him success. There is quite a bit of wondering and guess work going on concerning Chicago's defeat at the hands of South Carolina, but why should this surprise the south? Does it seem impossible for a southern team to go north, east, or west, and defeat some of the most prominent elevens from either section? The day of past reputation winning football games is no more. The day of one section having the outstanding teams, has also passed by, and today the Southern elevens take advice from no one, so if Georgia Tech, beats Notre Dame, and this is very probable, or if Spring Hill beats the Army. The day has gone by when we were supposed to let our mouth flare open like a rat-trap and wonder. With the south boasting of such_ elevens as Georgia, Georgia Tech and Alabama seem to have, not mentioning other teams that are close behind the a"bove three, the South will apparently upset several dope buckets before the curtain falls. * * * * * If "early season dope is to amount to very much this year, the Southern teams will do well to point to Tulane. In the first game of the season, Tulane got away to a good start in administering arsenic to Louisiana College in exceedingly large doses. Mr. William Banker, the Blonde Cyclone, from the marshy city went hog wild to aid his team materially in the slaughter of the Lousiana College eleven by a horrible score of 65 to 0. We hope that Mr. Banker does not gain too much momentum as the season progresses. ?ept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov.

Smith, topics of current issue were discussed by two prominent members of the society, respectively as they appeared on the program. First, Mr. "Booty" Pardon gave an instructive talk on "The Electrification of Ice Plants." In this he told how the Dixie Construtcion Co. was replacing the old gas engine plants with the new electrical plants. Having had actual experience in this work, Mr. Pardon brought out ideas and methods clearly which he could not have otherwise done. Mr. C. T. Ingersoll concluded the progra^n by giving a review of how the electrical laboratory experiments Vere conducted in the past. He also told of new equipment that had been purchased at a sum of $16,000 for the laboratories which was of great interest to all students in electrical engineering. OSBORNE TALKS TO ARCHITECTS Emory's Glee Club Has Successful Trip Abroad Emory's Glee Club, known in publicity circles as the "South's Sweetest Singers," returned to its native heath on Friday, September 14th, after its second successful summer invasion of Europe, more particularly England. The gleemen left Atlanta on June 4, two days after classes were finished last year. The first stop the boys made was in Savannah, where a concert was given on the night of the fourth. That night they sailed for New York on the "City of St. Louis." The voyage from Savannah to the huge city was marked by a terrific amount of eating on the part of all concerned and several appearances of that frightful ailing, seasickness. On June 7 the boat landed in New York, and the singers got to spend two days there. In New York the members of the club gave a program over a large radio hook-up, were entertained at a banquet given by the Southern Club, gave a concert at the Waldorf-Astoria, and were introduced to Mayor Jimmie Walker. Acting in an unofficial ca-capity, they gazed at skyscrapers, rode subways and "els," and both took in and were taken in at Coney Island. Sailing from New York on midnight of June 8, Dr. Dewey and Company arrived at London on June 18, after previously docking at Plymouth, England, and Havre, France. For three or four days the Clubbers had a good time sight-seeing, before starting on the round of entertaining and being entertained. The opening event was the ball which was given in honor of the club at the American Women's Club in London. It was heer that the boys got their first taste of English hospitality. After that, the club was kept busy for nearly two months "filling a series of engagements all over Engla'nd. The regular paid concert engagements included appearances at the Aeolian Hall, the Arts Theater, and the Coliseum, all in London, and at the towns of Weston-Super-Mare, Bath (pronounced "Bawth"), Heme Bay, Felixstowe, Norwich, Clacton, Lowestoft, Eastbourne, Ramsgate, and Bournemouth. Last Monday night the members of the Architectural Association were accorded the honor of hearing an unusually interesting talk by Professor Milton S. Osborne on his tour of Europe, which he made during the past summer. Professor Osborne's travels were so extensive that he found it impossible to cover his subject in one short address; therefore he will give a series of lectures on the subject before the Architectural Association. In his speeches Professor Osborne does not confine himself merely to matters of peculiar interest to architects, but discusses everything worthy of notice that he saw during his trip. An attentive audience listened in hushed expectancy last Monday to his accounts of the beauty of Belgium, England, and Germany. Of special interest were his comments on the youth movements which are making fast progress in Germany. According to Professor Osborne, hundreds of boys and girls are hiking from camp to camp all over Germany during the seasons when weather will permit. These camps are located one day's hike apart and charge only nominal rates for food and shelter. The movement is fostered to instill love for the Fatherland by familiarizing the youth of the nation with its beauties and wonders. Vivid descriptions combined with touches of keen wit and humor lent color to the tales of travel, and it is with the greatest pleasure that the members of the association look forward to Professor Osborne's future lectures. AUBURN PLAYERS HAVE FULL PROGRAM OF WORK FOR 1928 Normal Condition Exists at Chapel Hill As a result of the recent discussion of the treatment given freshmen at Chapel Hill, N. C, by the upperclass-men a survey was made in Chapel Wednesday morning, which revealed no abnormal conditions. The Dean of Students had blank papers passed among the freshmen gathered in Memorial Hall and asked each new man to give an account of the reception he had received from older students since he had entered the University. No names were signed to the statements nor were the names of any upperclassmen mentioned. "What we want is an accurate picture of freshman life during the first few weeks of the year," Mr. Brad-shaw declared. "The best way of obtaining this picture is by taking a cross section of the class and learning the reactions of the individual members. The whole freshman class cooperated with the Dean in making the survey and the extent of the response proved satisfactory. After making a careful reading of all the slips turned in, Mr. Bradshaw said they indicated about what was expected. S. A. M. E. Reports Successful Meeting Many amusing points about camp life at Fort Benning during the past summer were given by Mr. Shackle-ford and Mr. Landstreet. According to reports by these men, those who have never been to camp have a very interesting trip ahead of them. Night life on the Company Street was apparently far more interesting than one would be led to think. Among the stunts that are not likely to be forgotten soon was the pushball contest, in which the Engineers completely outclassed the Artillerymen, and the Signal Corps' attempt to start a salty river by their tear-gas attack on the Engineers. V. L. Taylor gave a talk on the Coolidge Multiple Dome Dam located on the Gila River in Arizona. The purpose of the dam is to irrigate one hundred thousand acres of Indian Land. The dam is 251 feet high and cost $5,500,000. A ten thousand k. w. hydro-electric generating station is run in connection with this irrigation dam. A petition to the Executive Council was drawn up, asking that Freshmen be put on the same membership status as Sophomores. Plans are also being made to get the S. A. M. E. pins and ribbons. The local post is planning on a very successful year, and cordially invites all R. O. T. C. Engineering Students to attend the meetings. Beat Florida!

Weaver and Dr. L. G. Gos ser the "Auburn Players" have before them a complete program of work for the 1928-29 session of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. It includes both production and presentation of plays upon which work is now in progress. Their plans, as announced by Dr. Weaver and Dr. Gosser, call for a series of one-act plays to be presented througout the year. The first will be presented at an early date. The initial play of the season will be written the "Paths of Glory" which was written by Dr. Weaver, the cast for which has been selected. It will be presented by four students, rehearsing for which is now being done. "Scraps" will be the second of the series. It was written by J. M. Mc- Murray, student at Auburn. It is based upon an Alabama setting and requires a cast of three. The third of the series is now being written by the class in dramatics. After being written the characters will be selected and rehearsing will begin, making it purely an Auburn production from the original idea for writing through the presentation. This play will require a young lady with rare personality and the student body of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is now being asked to select the young lady student for this part. She must be a "personality plus" coed. On the requirements for the young lady to play this part Dr. Weaver said: "She must be personally • attractive in " appearance though not necessarily beautiful; vivacious but not flippant; temperamental but not tempestuous; popular but well poised. In other words, she should be the kind of girl that everybody likes, a good sport in the great game of life." In addition to the above the Auburn players are planning community dramatics and other phases of dramatics for the year. Emphasis is being placed upon writing plays as well as presenting them. For Dr. Weaver this is his first year at Auburn. It is the second year for Dr. Gosser. Both are members of the faculty of the English department. Dr. Weaver has written two plays and also directed two college dramatic clubs. One of these was at Wake Forest, N. C, and the other at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Gosser is an alumnus of Kirks-ville State College of Missouri, where he had wide experience in dramatics, both as an actor and a director. Last year under his direction the Auburn players gave a number of finished plays, among them being "The Whole Town's Talking.' ' All of the presentations under his direction were well received. NOTICE The A. S. M. E. will hold its regular meeting Monday night Oct. 8th in room 109 Ramsay Hall. A good program is planned; so everybody is urged to be there. It is said that the difference between the pessimist and the optimist is that the former asks, "Is there any milk in the pitcher?" while the latter says, "Hand me the cream." Beat Florida!

KLEIN & SON JEWELERS GIFTS FOR EVERY OCCASION SILVERWARE AND FINE CHINA WATCHES AND DIAMONDS MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA Presbyterian Stadium Formally Presented One of the most momentous occasions that Presbyterian College of South Cardina has ever witnessed was the unveiling of the Cyrus Bailey memorial and the dedication of the stadium which incloses Johnson field, between the halves of the Mercer- P. C. football game on Sept. 28. William P. Jacobs, grandson of the founder of Presbyterian and a leader in the campaign to raise the remainder of the sum, in addition to the $10,000 generously given by W. J. Bailey, father of Cyrus Bailey, to complete the new plant, presented that stadium. Rev. John McSween, president of the college, accepted the stadium in behalf of the faculty, trustees and the students of the college. The memorial tablet was unveiled by young Misses Florence and Frances Bailey, daughters of William Cyrus Bailey. With this addition to the athletic equipment of the college, P. C. has one of the most complete plants to be found at any small college in that section. Websterians Discuss Marriage Question The Websterians learned all about companionate marriage at their last meeting. Miss Casby chose that subject to speak on, and she truly did justice to her task. Companionate marriage is only a term to some of us. It should be given more consideration. We should realize that in revolting from the ancient monarchy of marirage, we are pressing onward into what amounts to nothing more than trial marriage. . Marriage was never intended to be that way. It must be kept scared, and the sanctity of our homes preserved. In addition to Miss Cosby's enlightening talk, the society was given the privilege of hearing Mr. Upchurch and Mr. Brock. The former intimated that he emphatically does not approve of companionate marriage—nor of any other kind, either. Mr. Blankenship was elected treasurer to fill the gap left by the loss of Mr. Beavers. In conclusion, Mr. Raines entertained the society with some music on his guitar. His singing and playing drew enthusiastic applause from his appreciative audience. We hope Mr. Raines will play for us again soon. The Websterians will have a social soon. Announcement of the date will be made later. ABE MARTIN ON YOUNG PEOPLE Beat Florida!

New Greystone Hotel Popular With Students The Greystone Hotel is Montgomery's newest and certainly one of her most beautiful hotels. It is situated in a very convenient part, of the city, being only two blocks south of the railroad station. Opening three weeks ago, it is already very popular, not only because it is new but because it offers excellent service. The management was very courteous to students last week end. Thus, it has created a feeling of good-will among Auburn students and it is expected that the Greystone will be another Auburn headquarters. "I'm gittin' blamed tired o' bein' told I'm gittin' ole ever' time I express my opinion about a lot o' th' stuff that's bein' pulled t'day," says Abe Martin in the well-known cartoon. "O' course, ther's alius been spoonin' in dimly lighted parlors, an' wistaria-clad . verandas, but girls wore somethin' besides breech cloths, an' boys didn' hold up livery stables fer money t' show 'em a good time. "Mebbe our girls are wiser, more frank an' open an' self-reliant than they used t' be, but I'd hate t' marry one an' have any loose hammers or book ends layin' around, unless I owned a bank. An' it's probably true that never has our boys been as nifty lookin', as advanced, an' as capable an' as resourceful as they are t'day, but jest th' same I'd hate t' run a fillin' station or meet a flock o' them on a dark night. "I remember when young ladies used t' hitch behind th' courthouse so's nobuddy could see 'em step in an' out o' ther buggies. I don't know what sort o' stockin's they had on, or how they stacked up, but they never sued for any alimony. Th' girl o' t'day would try t' step on a camel if th' crowd wuz big enough." POP" WARNER SUCCEEDS IN PUTTING OUT GOOD TEAMS Hen Lays 306 Eggs In 336 Day Period In 336 days, a white leghorn hen in the fourth national egg laying contest produced eggs weighing 8.2 times her own weight. Her total was 306 eggs which averaged 22 ounces per dozen, or a total of 35 pounds. The hen weighs 434 pounds. During these 336 days this hen rested only 30 days. She is the leader in the contest.- The hen is owned by Marshall Farm, Mobile, and. premises to produce several more eggs before the end of the contest, she having three more weeks to add to her 306-egg record. "Other coaches have flashed more brightly across certain fall seasons when all America is football mad," says Dick Hyland, a Warner football star, writing about the Pacific Coast coach. "Two others have service records as long. A few have defeated him, but none have equalled 'Pop' Warner's best performances. And combining his thirty-three years > of activity, the teams and stars he has turned out, the drastic progress he has forced in our favorite sport, and his own unique personality, he holds his title securely. "Warner can see a team play and find more flaws in their defense, more blocks for their offense and more characteristic 'give away' traits in the players than any man living. Stanford has never been accused of playing dirty football even before Warner came there, but had it been a practice before the advent of the old man he would have put a stop to it. He sees every bit of it pulled in a game. "One of the secrets of Pop's success," continues Hyland, "is his knack of putting men where they belong. He turns average halfbacks into successful ends, makes star guards out of poor quarters, dependable centers out of erratic tackles and vice versa. "His teams fight as much for Pop as they fight for their Alma Mater. And when Pop tells you to do something, you go out and do better than your best to win. One thing Pop does not do—and it is illustrative of the way he handles his men—is to bawl them aside when he has anything unflattering to say. "His system—the Warner system so often mentioned wherever football men gather to talk about the game— has taken thirty years to build. Today it is one of the simplest and most effective in football. Pop has a flock of basic plays which he gives his team the first week every season. During a season he will give approximately sixty plays; about twenty of them will be used. A rival coach once said that if Stanford had a quarter ready to call the plays Pop gives Stanford teams, no one in the country could hold Stanford under six touchdowns. "The players never get familiar with Pop, never feel close to him personally, although they do wisecrack him occasionally and he likes it. He is one of the crowd when he is with other people, and his favorite indoor sport is to gather several old-timers around him and have a 'remember when' game. His stock of anecdotes and stories—parlor, bedroom, bath and football—is inexhaustible." Idle people are naturally attracted to busy people! How they must envy them!

JONES DEPLORES LACK OF INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL TRAINING Southern colleges are doing little to prepare their students to cope with the growing industrialism of the South, according to an article by Professor Howard Mumford Jones, of the University of North Carolina English department in the October issue of The New Student. "Nowhere in the South," he says, "has the study of economics proceeded so far as to offer notable graduate work in this field. Only belatedly lias the study of sociology come to be an effective force in southern university life, and at that, only in a few schools. Yet it is evident that the South needs now as it needed a hundred years ago, an effective examination of the foundations upon which the industrial system is to be built." "***Such college men as are now in control of southern business were graduated (if they are alumni of southern colleges) at a time when modern departments of economics and sociology were almost unknown and necessarily they believe in, and operate under a lassez f aire system of economic life which makes the Harvard or Columbia student rub his eyer in wonder. But I doubt whether there is any sinister control by southern universities which prevents the growth of economic thought in that region. The situation is far subtler. "One truth—one profound truth— in the general .situation is that the southern undergraduate is blankly indifferent alike to economic theory and to the insipient and baffling problems of the new order in the South. It is only natural that he OF BIRMINGHAM The Newest Styles First— The Best Values Always— "PUSS" TYLER Student Representative should be so. Typically the product of a small community, typically also the product of an upper middle-class family, he does not know, because he has never seen, such industrial areas as the coal fields of Pennsylvania, the mills of New Jersey, the manufacturing region around the Great Lakes. He cannot envision, for he has neither experience nor data to go on, the possibility that in the future there may be southern industrial areas of the same hideous ugliness, the same raw and gigantic energy. Even if his teachers tell him. "It is out of this dilemma that southern colleges must somehow find their way. As yet, it would seem, they have not on the whole found any solution. What is even more depressing, there are a good many southern institutions of learning in which the need for awakening an interest in so cial problems is not even felt. Shel tered behind the liberal arts curricu lum, these colleges continue to edu cate gentlemen and gentlewomen They frown on Mencken but they do not substitute anybody half as inter esting in his place. And in these schools which are beginning to survey the actualities of life around them, most of the battle for academic free dom is yet to be fought—that is, the right and necessity for universities to investigate economic and social phe nomena has in most cases yet to be established. The campaign, when it is fought, will be an absorbing one but the present collegiate attitude does not seem likely to furnish many recruits. It is possible that a change of literary diet might awaken the old flame of enthusiasm for southern things and themes. It is a hopeful sign that the negro literature of the present awakens a wide interest among southern undergraduates— here at least is one situation in which they are very much alert. But until the hold of Menckenism among the undergraduates is broken, or until it wanes, we cannot look for much for ward-going interest in the new South and its problems."

This team composed of Biard of Iowa, Spencer of Stanford, Barbuti of Syracuse, and Alderman of Michigan State set two new world's records white running in the guidance of the Hutsell system. The records which they hold are the Olympic record, and World's record in the 1600 meter relay and the World's record in the one mile relay which wa smade in London after the Olympic games. * * * * * Europe has the greatest air service of any other continent. The train service is very punk and therefore they do most all the travel by plane. Something like five hundred^ passengers are carried in and out of Paris daily by plane. All weak stomachs should stay off these planes. The trains have cars which are divided into 1st, 2nd. and 3rd class, and even into the 4th. class. The fourth class looks like stalls and right tricky. Coach "Dink" Templeton, who has been very successful at Stanford University in the track game and who was the youngest of the Olympic coaches bought a bicycle immediately after the boat had docked. This two-wheel affair saved Templeton quite a bit of taxi fare, but his garage bill ran up to very high sums. They had garages to park bicycles just like the autos. Holland is a very good country, but the people are so dumb. * * * * * One of the frankest statements that I ever heard was made by Roland Locke while feeling a bit under the weather during the trip across the duck pond. Locke was looking a bit peeked when a friend who was watching him very closely, as he leaned over the rail of the deck, asked, "say, Locke your stomach seems to be weak." Locke replied that he was "shooting his lunch just as far or farther than any one else." TIGER FRESHMEN OVERWHELM BABY PANTHERS 25 TO 2 IN OPENING GAME (Continued from page 4) three off right tackle.

Personality Contest On In The Village The "Personality Plus Coed" the Auburn Players desire for the college play soon to be given must fulfill the following requirements: She must be personally attractive in appearance though not necessarily beautiful; vivacious but not flippant; temperamental but not tempestuous; popular but well poised. In other words, she should be the kind of girl that everybody likes, a good sport in the great game of life. Have we such a girl at Auburn? Certainly—many of them, no doubt. Nominations are now in order—and votes too. Fill in the accompanying blank which is both a nomination and a vote and deposit it in the ballot box labeled "Personality Contest" at The Tiger Drug Store. Vote early and may the best candidate win! I cast my vote for: Miss Signed Nobody likes compulsion but we must all submit to it if we hope to get along in this world. At forty some women are more attractive than they were at twenty, but the number is limited. The world is amused rather than impressed by the man who doesn't know when he's beaten. Beat Florida! If the girls made a practice of asking the advice of their swain's employer before accepting a proposal, a lot of marriages would be postponed indefinitely. MARQUETTE GETS NEW MONICKER Origin of the nickname by which the Marquette university football team has been known for several years is credited to a young sports writer, now headlining for a New York city daily, who gave that monicker to Coach Frank J. Murrays' eleven after watching them crush Boston college and the University of Detroit on successive Saturdays in the fall of 1923. Additional reason for calling the Marquette eleven the Golden Avalanche is had in the fact that 10,443 pounds of humanity, more than five tons, compose the 1928 Marquette squad. That is the total weight of the sixty-one players on the squad, giving an average of 171 pounds. The trouble with a woman who can add up a long column of figures correctly is that she can never get her hair to look right. Beat Florida! Oglethorpe Expecting Large Enrollment With one hundred and fifty freshmen applications for admission on file and an expected enrollment of more than five hundred students, Oglethorpe University opened her doors Wednesday, September 26, for the thirteenth collegiate year. No increase in the size of the student body is contemplated at present. Dr. Thorn-well Jacobs, president of the University, points out that the present number is ideal until the expansion program is carried out in that it affords the entire student body an opportunity for personal instruction from members of the faculty and avoids the evil of crowded class-rooms. Life is something like continuous vaudeville—half the people are looking around for "This Way Out" and the other half for "This Way In."
