The first issue of The Alabama
for the scholastic year 1926-'27 came
off the press a few days ago. This
issue is a truly remarkable one and
is a credit to the staff and the Col­lege.
The Alabama Farmer is a compar­ative
young magazine having had its
beginning seven years ago as a mi­meograph
sheet for the farmers. Un­der
the management of capable stu­dents
the sheet has grown into a
magazine; and, now, it appears as a
thirty page magazine of informa­tion
for the farmer.
The publication of The Alabama
Farmer is fostered by the Ag Club
and is edited entirely by students.
The Ag Club selects a board of con­trol
which" directs the publication of
the magazine. The Board is compos­ed
of two seniors and two juniors.
The staff of the Alabama Farmer is
also selected by the Ag Club and is
composed of students only. . '
The staff this year is headed by G.
B. Phillips, a senior in Ag. Ed., as
editor, and J. M. Herren, Jr., a senior
in Ag. Science, as business manager.
Under this very.able staff The Ala­bama
Fanner has appeared, for the
first time, as a member of the Agri­cultural
College Magazines Associat­ed.
Twelve colleges are members of
this Association, only two of which
are in the South. The two south-em
members are the University of
Tennessee, the students of which edit
the Tennessee Farmer, and A. P. I.
publishing The Alabama Farmer, the
only agricultural magazine in Ala­bama
edited and managed by college
students.
The Montgomery Advertiser speaks
favorably of the magazine:
"The Alabama Farmer is a farm
magazine of genuine merit, hand­somely
printed, intelligently and in­terestingly
edited. It is an enter­prising
step which the students of
Auburn have taken. It provides
them a direct medium of contact
with agricultural interests of the
State. It provides the latter with
an authentic journalistic medium is­sued
from the campus of their great
agricultural school."

AUBURN ADDING
ACTING_COURSE
Play Production to Be Taught
By Prof. Hamilton in Eng­l
i sh Department
Courses in acting and play produc­tion
have been added to the curricu­lum
of the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
and wil be offered this year
by Professor Harry L. Hamilton, of
the English department. This is be­lieved
to be one of the first courses
of its kind offered in southern col­leges.
The course will be given
throughout the year and students will
receive credit for two semester
hours.
Professor Hamilton came to Au­burn
last year as director of the Aub-burn
Players, and has had wide ex­perience
in the theatrical field. He
has played before the footlights of
New York in such hits as 'JHe Who
Gets Slapped" and "From Noon 'Til
Midnight," both Theatre Guild shows.
He also had several years' experience
with a stock company.

REV BOB. MILES
IS HEARD AT
CONVOCATION
F o r m e r P r e s b y t e r i a n Pastor
Addresses Large Body of
Upperclassmen Here
'Auburn and the spirit of work,
study and play, at Auburn, compare
favorably with any state school in
the South,," said Robert W. Miles,
traveling student work secretary of
the Southern Presbyterian church,
and former pastor of the Auburn
Presbyterian Church, in addressing
the upperclassmen at their regular
convocation hour here today. He
brought out the fact that his worlr
carries him to every state college
from Virginia to Texas about twice
a year, and that he always finds the
warmest welcome at Auburn.
Mr. Miles indicated in his talk that
he believes the colleges to be on the
upward path rather than on the
down grade as so many are wont to
say. He said that the wonderful ma­terial
growth of the state universities
and colleges in the way of buildings
equipment is only equaled by the
spiritual development on the cam­puses
that he visits every week.
He pointed out the fact that spirit-lal
contacts are necessary to aj»ood
education, and that the contacts and
the services that we render will act
as a' boomerang to us, whether they
be good or bad.
Although himself an athlete, and
a lover of all kinds of sports, "Bob"
Miles, as he was affectionately
known when he was chaplain of the
Tiger football team, said that too of­ten
the athletic side of college life is
given too much empliasis. This is
especially true of football, he sand.
He cited instances when even men
not enrolled at any college are trot­ted
out on the field to represent a
school that is willing to sell its hon­or
for so little a thing as a foot­ball
victory.
The speaker further indicated Au­burn's
progressiveness by bringing
out the fact that she was the first
technical school ever to be admit­ted
to the Southern Educational As­sociation,
the standard association of
southern colleges.
MATINEE
There will be a matinee, giving the
play by play detail of both Auburn-
L. S. U., and Alabama-Tech games
Saturday afternoon beginning at
2:00 o'clock sharp. The price of ad­mission
will be twenty-five cents.

CAPTAIN PAUL TURNER
When the whistle lifts the curtain
of today's grid encounter out at
Crampton Bowl, Montgomery fans
will be treated to a glimpse of their
former idol, "Sea Cow" Turner. The
genial Tiger captain has dug his
cleats into the black soil of the capi-tol
city, his home town, many times
in years gone by. As a full-back
few pig skin toters in the Southern
Conference are his equal and none
his superior. Tipping the scales
around thTtwo hundred pound mark­er,
he is a veritable human batter­ing
ram and his delight is ripping
gaping holes in the opponents' lines
for substantial gains.
Turner is playing his last year in
an Auburn uniform and his perform­ances
in the early games indicale
that this season wil be his best. Pro­vided
that old injuries do not ham­per
him for the rest of the season, he
wil give someone a real scrap for
the full back position on the mythi­cal
eleven of the Southern Confer­ence.
In addition to the training he re­ceived
in his native city, Paul was
the star of the Marion Institute ele­ven
for several years. Not only is
he outstanding because of his grid­iron
activities, but he is also very
popular with his fellow students be-,
cause of his admirable qualities as a
man. He is a member of the Kappa
Sigma Fraternity.
Several other Montgomerians wil
probably see service in some period

- Present
One of the most, brilliant social
events witnessed in Auburn took
Rlace in the Gymnasium Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday of last week.
The Sophomore Hops were attended
by one of the merriest crowds of
dancers in the annals of Auburn
dances. Many of the students were
out of town on account of the Au­burn-
Howard football game, but those
who remained in Auburn turned out
in a body for the opening dances. The
music was of the best, provocative of
making the ^'~west dancer an adept
pupil. The girls were some of the
prettiest and best dancers who have
ever visited the Village of the Plains.
There were about 85 of them from
various places throughout the south­land.
Charlie Troutt and his Melody Ar­tists,
of Atlanta, furnished a most
pleasing brand of music. Troutt: is
the composer of The Mountain City
Blues, which the Melody Artists have

E. A . Pruitt and Virginia Crook
Were Married In September
By Emmett Sizemore
Members of the Auburn Tiger foot­ball
team, smart as they may be with
heads full of football formations and
signals mixed with knowledge gained
in the class rooms and from the vol-ums
and volums t of texts required
in the college curriculum, have at last
been caught unawares, but with no
yardage lost on some canny knight
of the gridiron slipping by their front
lines or hurling a whistling pass above
their heads for the contested turf of
the chalk marked field.
As the- practice closed Thursday
afternoon winding up the weeks work
of training for their tough go with
Mike Donahue's Louisiana Tigers they
were still unaware, that all along
while they were gathering in early
September to start the preliminary
training, and while they" plugged
along day after day making ready
for the opening game with University
of Chattanooga and while they were
on the field of conflict exerting every
effort to overwhelm the Chattanoo-gans
in their initial game, and again
and again to repeat in their prepar­ation
and battle against Clemson
College on Homecoming day, and
Howard College last Saturday, that
romance was stalking in their midst.
Long distance telephone wires con­veyed
the news, Thursday afternoon,
to the Auburn Plains that Mr. Eldon
Augustus Pruitt, star tackle on the
Tiger varsity was happily married to
Miss Virginia Crook of Union Springs
in Montgomery, Alabama, on Septem­ber
fourteenth. Confirmation of the
report was sought from the tackle
custodian of Coach Morey's fighting
Tiger squad.
He was met as he emerged from
the Tiger dressing rooms, clad in
cleat and helmet, rugged and ready
to smear the whole side of the scrub
line when the call was issued for
scrimmage on Drake field. When
the question was propounded as to
why he had been holding out on the
folks so long, he immediately shot
back with, "What-er-what do you
mean?" He was told that a certain
bit of very interesting news, impli­cating
him as one of the principals,
in a very fine wedding ceremony
held in Montgomery recently, had
eked into the camp recently via long
distance telephone. To this came the
interrogative retort, "Who told you?"

AUBURN LIONS
DISCUSS PLANS
FOR SCHOOL
Modern Hotel Is A l s o P r o p o s ed
By Active Local
Body
At a meting of the Lions Club
of Auburn Tuesday noon a discus­sion
was brought forward relative to
the construction of a new grammar
school. Someone made the state­ment
that after inspection of the
present building conditions were
found not to be as bad as at first an­nounced.
No definite action has as
yet been taken on the proposal but
it is thought that within the course
of a few weeks plans will have been
completed whereby the old building
will be remodeled or a new one con­structed.
Emmett Sizemore gave a short re­port
on a proposed hotel for Auburn.
Plans are now underway to construct
a modern, 35-room, fire-proof, struc­ture,
which will do much toward al­leviating
the shortage of room for
the crowds that visit Auburn from
time to time.
The meeting of the Lions was op­ened
by the President, W. D. Sal­mon,
who proposed that the club
stand and sing, "Hail, Hail, The
Lions all Here." Following this
Capt. Cushman took the chair and in­troduction
of the visitors was pro­ceeded
with. The guests of the Cfub
on Tuesday included; Dr.. Moore of
the Opelika Kiwanis Club, Dr. Pal­mer
of the Opelika Rotary Club,
Judge Miles Bradford of Birming­ham,
Rev. O. D. Langston, who comes
from the University of California to
take the "place of Rev! A. B. David­son
of the Methodist Church, and
Harry Fulwiler, Jr., news editor of
the Plainsman.
Talks by "Slick[' Moulton, Coach
Pitts, and E. Sizemore predicted a
very successful football season for
the auburn^ Tigers. The attendance
of the club was, about -30, one of
these, W. H. Weidenbach, being a
new member.
Music was rendered by the Fran­cis
brothers of Auburn.

Gigantic Mass Meeting
Gives the Plainsmen
Gridders Send-off for
Big Battle
With all the injured back in line
and all of the kinks ironed out, the
Auburn Tigers of '26, led by their in­domitable
chieftan Coach Divid B.
Morey and his associates in the mat­ter
of winning football games,
"Boozer" Pitts, "Mike" Papke,
"Slick" Moulton, and "Buck" Spinks
packed up bag and haggage and hit
the rails on their second official
jaunt of the season. They go to re­new
hostilities with the Plains Tiger's
ancient foe, the Tiger of Louisiana
State University. The scene of the
big battle is to be Crampton. Bowl
over in the capitol city.
Auburn realizes that, despite the
fact that the affair is not generally
broadcasted as being of vital impor­tance,
they haven't picked a plum,
and that they will have to exhibit
plenty of stuff if the long end of the
score is to be written on the right
side of the ledger. Therefore, Turn­er
and company is expecting much
fur to fly before the local beast gets
a good hold on his powerful oppon­ent.
L. S. U. eleven look to be even
better than they were year before
last when - they threw a terrible
scare into the Plainsman and almost
walked off with the honors. That„
year the Orange and Blue crew^fih-aHy
eked out a 3 •-- 0 victory over
their opponents, thanks to Clabber
William's boot. —~~*~
Local stock jumped up several
points with the return of "Square
Jaw Salter, Joe Marcket and "Bull'
Andres to the varsity ranks. The
above mentioned trio suffered from
severe lime burns sustained in the
Chattanooga game, but are now in
good condition for the fracas. In­cidentally,
Salter's work in the How­ard
game was rewarded by a straw
hat given by a local merchant to
the most outstanding linesman in this
contest. , —--~~
A tinge of pathos will be attached
to this meeting of the two teams, for
the Auburn Tiger will turn in all its
fury on its old trainer and much
beloved master, Mike Donahue, for
two decades skipper of Auburn's
ship of fortune. Few coaches
throughout the country have ever en­joyed
the universal popularity the lit­tle
Irishman during his resident as
athletic mentor here, and the great
heart of Auburn will ever beat fas­ter
at the name of Donahue.

STUDENT TICKETS
One of the most important angles of the
sided Auburn Spirit is that of finances.
Just as a youth can hardly live on love
alone, an athletic team must have some­thing
more than cheer to keep it on the
field. Not that we wish to discount this
vital factor in the success of' our own
Tiger team, for we realize that the confi­dence
expressed by the student body
through this medium has carried many an
Orange and Blue eleven to victory in the
last few minutes of play.
There are uniforms to tie bought, many
expenses to be paid, coaches to be re­compensed,
and scholarships to he grant­ed
to deserving players, for all of which
adequate funds must be provided. Nat­urally
the "A" Club depends largely up­on
the gate receipts of the several large
games played each season by the local
eleven.
Each student pays a fee upon his en­trance
into Auburn which entitles him to
the privelege of admittance on a student
ticket—he does not buy the ticket. The
amount thus collected is a nominal one
and isn ot a burden on any one. Some
students appear to have formed an erron­eous
conception that unless they buy their
ticket each time they have been cheated.
The fallacy of this argument is readily
seen when one stops to consider that he
pays not only for the football season but
for all athletic contests which include
baseball, basket ball and track and that
an extra amount is collected along with
the books on these occasions.
Ticket scalpers have always been preval­ent
when profit was the bait. These Shy-locks
not only, are moral parasites, for in
purchasing their fellows students tickets
they break the oath they automatically
took upon registration, but they are also
traitors to the Auburn teams. Every
time they sell one of their tickets at a
greatly advanced price or at the price
which they paid for it they are robbing
the athletic association of that much
money.
Auburn's great strength this year lies
in her abundance of reserve material.
These additions to the squad entail a much
greater expense and if the Auburn student
body shows by their actions in cutting off
an important source of income that they
do not think the increased number of
players is amply justified, an immediate
cut must be made. No excuses which
these profiteers -make are either plausible
or acceptible. They claim an insufficiancy
of personal funds drives them to this prac­tice.
May we suggest that robbing banks
would be much more remunerative and
that this lucrative trade could be driven
with the same sacrifice of honor?
WHY THE LACK OF PUBLICITY
Failures of the large daily papers to
give Auburn a decent write-up after athle­tic
victories have become so common that
a feeleing of resentment has sprung up
among the Auburn men and supporters
scattered over this and neighboring states.
Even the papers of Alabama's largest ci­ties
give bare mention of the triumphs of
the Orange and Blue eleven. True enough
there are many local articles appearing in
^the newspapers of the state but they issue
ii.-^n our own publicity department. Our
kick is to be registered in the Sports De­partments
of these papers, for the most
part, as it is there that we feel the slight
most keenly.
A great Auburn team defeated the How­ard
eleven, conquerers of the Oglethorpe
Petrels, who had previously delt a blow to
the hopes of Tech's Golden Tornado. Sun­day
morning's papers carried an account
of the game it is true, but for the purpose
of censoring our strategy in sending in so
many substitutes against such a weak col­lege
aggregation. Was that the case, or
was it necessary to throw in all her reserve
strength to defeat a powerful Howard
Bulldog? To all fair-minded spectators
the letter was the logical conclusion.
Alabama Polytechnic Institute is one of
our state's greatest institutions and has al­ways
occupied a niche in football's Hall
of Fame. Is it fair and just that she
should be relegated to the junk heap be­cause
she has failed to put out a cham­pionship
combination within the last few
yearss? But we will show 'em. Under the
guidance of Dave Morey this institute will
once more, occupy the pinnacle of gridiron
supremacy. She will broadcast the name
of Alabama from coast to coast just as
her sister institution so ably did last last
year. She will sweep all before her "in
a blaze of glory and humble into submis­sion
her most ancient rivals.
Then, possibly, we shall be acclaimed by
the press and our achievements proclaim­ed
in glaring headlines, but she will not
need their assistance then, will scorn their
bland compliments, and we hope, will re­fuse
them.
We are not pleading now for false
publicity. 'What we wish and what we
demand is an unbiased account of local
victories and an accurate description of
our defeats. We want no alibis; we simply
ask that the truth be told and we are cer­tainly
entitled to that much consideration
if we know anything of the ethics of journ­alism.
-The All-Southern players chosen of pu­blicity
or worth? Auburn was not repre­sented
on the mythical eleven last fall.
should be at least 1200 students attend
church services of some kind on Sunday.
The present day job nearly always has
one prerequisite and that is if you are a
member of some religious organization.
Then in the future you must have some
religious training to command the best
and the highest type of job. Education
is to enable one to be better able to live and
cooperate with his fellow man as well as
-to train them to be better citizens. How
then, can a man be a better citizen with­out
some religious training?
Good citizenship is not waning but on
the incline.fl Our social standing and
morals have increased along certain lines.
Are they going to continue to increase?
If they do, we have to keep up the high
standards of morals that has been handed
down and given to us by our forefathers.
To do this we have to punch up that re­ligion
a little and put in some real hon­est
to goodness thinking and doing. When
we realize that we are in a rut, and can see
the way clear we wilLclear the way for a
new, era and not until this has been done
will this'new era dawn upon us. Do you
want progress to stop? If not then why
should religion be on the wane with the
average college student?
—Rowe Johnson.
FOOTBALL .
The football season started several
weeks ago, but it is just now on in full
swing. Every team in the country has
been in action two or three times, and the
followers of the game are now getting a
line on how the various elevens stack up.
After today, when the final World Se­ries
baseball game will be played, foot­ball
will hold the center of the athletic
stage by itself until Thanksgiving. Judg­ing
from the interest shown thus far in the
season, football is continuing to grow ra­pidly
in popularity. Baseball is the na­tional
pastime, but football is the great
American collegiate pastime. -
The growth of football has developed
a problem that is considered quite serious
by some, who believe that too much impor­tance
is being attached to it. It is feared
that the game is interfering too much with
scholastic activites. The pun about the
higher educational institutions being foot­ball
stadiums with colleges attached is now
an old one. There is some ground for the
assertion that colleges and universities
these days are more noted for their foot­ball
records than for their scholastic
achievements. The objections, raised by
some who oppose football in its present
state, that coaches are paid more than
college professors is not an unreasonable
one.
On the other hand, football pays its
own way, and moreover, pays for other
ahtletic activities in colleges that are
wholly desirable, but that are not self-sup­porting.
Football and other collegiate
sports should be a part of college life, and
ahletics are to be encouraged. There
are very few who would favor the elimina­tion
of college athletics. Theie are some,
however, who say, notw ithout reason, that
a limit should be placed on football.
There is much to say on either side.
Football has its good points and its bad
ones, but on the whole, we should say, the
latter are not so numerous now that they
overbalance the good features. Still, pre­caution
should be taken by college and
university officials to protect the game
from further undesirable influences, that
is,* to keep it free of practices that may
be unfavorable to the institutions as edu­cational
centers. —Montgomery Adver­tiser.
AN AUBURN NOVELTY
v-Look what Auburn possesses! A man,
who is being heard all over the United
States and parts of other countries, and
has not yet reached the stage of matri­mony.
Receiving an entire wardrobe from
various parts of Alabama and Georgia
would have sounded unreasonable not
more than one year ago. There is such a
character in Auburn since last Sunday
when the Cardinals defeated the Yanks.
This man needs no introduction other than
r
he is assistant manager of the radio sta­tion,
WAPr'whjch has carried his name
far and near.
Sunday, October 11, when the last game
of the world's series was being broadcast­ed
over the radio station of Auburn, a
gentleman of Columbus, Ga., offered the
announcer, Bill Young, a new hat if the
Cardinals won. This offer started the ball
to rolling and before the game had ended,
Captain Bill received the promise of
enough clothes to permit his going into
winter quarters.
In order not to be left out of the ring, a
druggist called and said that he would give
Mr. Young a bar of soap with which to
wash his clothes and broadcasting this
brought an offer to give towels. Seeing
that he was going to be left vout, ,an un­dertaker
called and, in jest, made an offer
of a secand-hand casket and another re­sponded
with a first-class robe. So Mr.
Young is in position to either live or
die, due to the excellent and clever man­ner
in which he announced the series.
Mercer University opened its fall session
with an enrollment of over 600 students,
including 12 co-eds. There has recently
been a movement started to raise $10,000,-
000 dollars for use in building up the in­stitution.
We wish them luck in their
efforts.
Is Religion on the Wane?
Is religion on the wane? This is one
of the many perplexing questions that is
puzzling and baffling leaders of the coun­try
today. The average college student
does not seem to be serious minded
enough to take this question to heart.
However, it is a question that should re­ceive
a great deal of consideration and
should be duly weighed by any college
student.
We might ask if the religion of the col­lege
student.
We might ask if the religion of the col­lege
student is waning. To be frank, it is
to some extent. We have over 1500 stu­dents
enrolled in the college and the rec­ords
at the various churches show that not
over 400 of these students attend church
or Sunday school on Sunday. There

TWO STUDENT MAGAZINES
Auburn boasts two of the finest monthly
technical magazines in the entire South in
"The Alabama Farmer" and "The Auburn
Engineer". This issue is the initial appear­ance
of the year for both sheets. The
former has been a vital influence on the
agricultural .campus for seven years and
bids fair under the edtorship of G. B.
Phillips to eclipse its former excellent
record. W. H. H. Putnam who edits the
later is entering upon the second year of
its publication with the assistance of a
competent staff and a wealth of material.
As the greatest agricultural institution
of the south Auburn exerts a tremendous
influence over the farmers of the state
and "The Alabama Farmer" as the official
organ of the local departmene is in a po­sition
to render invaluable service to aiding
the farming interests of the surrounding
sections. The magazine is starting the
present session with a much larger sub­scription
list than usual and consequently
the field of its influence hes been broad­ened.
Its pages are filled with accurate
and scientific discussions of interesting
questions raised by our friends out in the
country who till the soil that we may
exist.
The local engineering college has for
years ranked with the best in the country's
engineering world and students who leave
Auburn with an engineering degree step
into important positions in their chosen
line of endeavor. Naturally a publication
issued by the students of this department
carries accounts of the latest achievements
in the great world of construction. All
the articles are written by students and
research necessary to gain the required in­formation
is conducted by them personally.
The recent issue is a thing of art and is
beautifully finished. The articles are clear,
concise and correct, evidence of painstak­ing
effort. The articles are of technical
nature and have real value in practical
application.
The Plainsman stall extends its most
hearty congratulations to these sister pub­lications
and wishes for them a successful
and instructive year.
WITH OTHER COLLEGES
SPARE HAIR OF FRESHMEN
FOOTBALLERS
The suggestion has been offered that we
advocate a laissez faire policy in regard
to the locks of the rats who aspire to
represent their class on the gridiron. In
the first place, hair serves as a protection
cushion and absorbs the many shocks which
are sustained in the course of the grand
old game. It can be readily seen that a
blow on the skull in its bare state might
frequently result in a serious and perhaps
fatal injury.
We realize that it is too late to prevent
shearing of their crowning glory, but we
should deem it worth our while if we
should create a sentiment against this
unfair practice this year in order that
it might be discontinued in the future.
It has also been called to our attention
that several of the rat players have been
injured in inspections to provide a source
of pleasure for their more sophisticated
friends, the sophomores. We should not
attempt to abolish these friendly sessions
but i t . seems necessary to remind these
officious over-lords that to play this stren­uous
game it is necessary for one to be
in the pink of physical condition. Our rat
team should be a source of pride to us as
they will eventually be called on to fill
gaps caused by the graduation of regulars.
There is much consternation in the North
concerning the problem of College Educa­tion
for all who wish it. Several of the
leading colleges and Universities have been
forced to reject large numbers of Freshmen
this year, because of lack of accommoda­tions
fdr them. During the last registra­tion
season Wellesly was forced to turn
down 1200 applicants, University of Penn.
refused admission to more than 2500 fresh­men,
Dartmouth to 1500, and Columbia
turned down three times as many as they
took in. The use of intelligence tests, and
various other means of reducing the num­bers
has proved unsatisfactory in solving
the problem.
We wonder how long it will be before
this condition will exist in the South as
well as the North? How is this problem
to be met? It is evident that something
must be done soon, for it is a crime for
these men and women not to get the de­sired
education. Throngs of northern boys
and girls are coming south for their educa­tion
for the last few years, because there
is not adequate facilities in the North for
handling them. Seems to the writer like
the colleges are going to have to run day
and night in order to give all an equal
chance, or build new colleges, which will
cost untold millions, but the young men
and women must not be denied the educa­tion
they seek.
We have received exchanges from the
following schools: Mercer, U. of N. C, V.
M. I., Davidson, Furman, Citadel, U. of
Ky., Centre, Wesley,'N. C. State, Tulane,
Howard, U. of Ga., N. C. College, Transyl­vania,
College of the Ozarks, Benning,
Clemson.. We hope to hear from several
others soon.
Hazing is not to be allowed on the cam­pus
of the University of North Carolina
this year. One senior and one junior have
already been suspended from school for
three months for conduct tending toward
hazing, and 18 have been put on prpba-tion
for six months*. This institution has
an enrollment of over 2,300 this year, in­cluding
900 freshmen.
The Citadel opened with an enrollment
of over three hundred freshmen this year.
V. M. I. opened with a record enrollment
this year, and began the football season
right by defeating Wofford 20 to 0.
The University of Kentucky opened with
an enrollment of over 2000 students this
fall. The institution is looking forward to
a great season on the gridiron.
It is rumored that a student of the Uni­versity
of Kentucky is engaged to "Miss
America," 1926. She is Miss Norma
Smallwood, of Tulsa, Okla.

AUBURN FOOTPRINTS «
Now that the dances are over we will
have time to catch a little breath. There
were more upsets at these gala occasions
than there was on the gridiron last Sat­urday.
We do not understand all that
we know about several things, nor can
can we publish all that we do know,
but all of you know something of what
happened at the different dances, so why
dwell too long on the things that we al­ready
know.
But we can not desist saying that both
of the visiting girls were very attractive.
It was also a very great surprise to
everyone when "Brother John" Garrett
emerged unscathed. Even the most opti
mistic observers did not cede the afore
mentioned young Lochinvar a chance to
escape the wiles of the deadlier sex.
We wonder. "Pop" Jones knows some­thing
that he will not tell. But at any
rate as soon as the dances were over "Pop"
stopped eating at the zoo and moved to
the Mess Hall.
We understand that R. E. Smith has
moved to thep ractice house. Go to it
Smitty, practice makes perfect.
Last week's issue of the FPllaiiln man con
tinned a list of the Sorority pledges. We
will not be surprised to know a "sorority
row" start up in the near future. We
understand that Kelley Posey has dlready
started elaborate plans as to the possibili­ties
of this. Kelley thinks that it ^vill be L
very convenient, as it will save him the
trouble of chasing the co-eds all over town.
Kelley has become very popular since
becoming an assistant instructor in free­hand
drawing. Gee—I wish that I could
draw like Kelley.
Last Saturday night we saw that "Uncle
Peavine" Worley had cast aside his corn­cob
pipe and overalls, donned his other
shirt, washed his face, and started to pur­sue
the fairer sex. What is this campus
coming to anyway?
Among other things that we noticed was
that G. B. Phillips is still politicing. We
do not know exactly what kind of a line he
is using this time, butw e think that he
wants Ford to get Muscle Shoals.
"Napoleon Bonaparte" Perry and Sam
Lowe left here for the football game Fri­day
morning. We understand that their
dress was so perfect that each of them re­ceived
seven offers as models in the var­ious
department stores of Birmingham.
We do not know, but we are inclined to
believe that that was not their motive for
thus attiring themselves. We wonder who
she is.
We understand that Dan Sikes got lost
in the fair metropolis of Tallassee last
week-end. It is convenient to get lost
sometimes—isn't ti Dan?
Lost: One gray hat in fr,ont of Zoo last
Smoking on the campus is to be allow­ed
this year, for the first time in fifteen
years, at Colorado Agricultural College.
This law forbidding smoking on the cam­pus
was passed in order to reduce the
dangers from fire in the buildings.
We see that Marquette University is
wondering what kind of game they are
going to have with their Southen oppo­nents
this year. They seem to have never
heard much of Auburn's great fame in
Southern football circles. They are won­dering
if they are going to have as easy
a time with Auburn as they had with
Mercer last Thanksgiving day at Milwau­kee.
They won from Mercer by the score
of 30 to 0. Now all. we can say is that
they are going to get the surprise of their
season when they go up against Auburn's
Tigers at Rickwood on November 13.
Alabama Woman's College has a record-enrollment
of over 600 students this year.
The University of N. C. has the distinc­tion
of having 25 percent of her faculty
mentioned in the last issue of "Who's
Who."
In a review among the co-eds of N. C.
university, it was found that only one of
them came to college with marriage as
her aim. Last year, 99 percent of the
co-eds avawed their intention of matri­mony.
Quite a change. None of them are
majoring in Campus Courses this year.
Most of them arc "Thirsting for Know­ledge."
Tulane University has added 40 new
members to its faculty.
Brenau College opened with an enroll­ment
of over 500 girls from 32 states of

"Uncle Timothy" Gowder was the
happiest man in the Ag Club Wed­nesday
night when P. O.
station WAPI presented him with $5
as the prize for being the champion
hog-eailer of the Ag Club. Mr.
Davis stated that one man from Col­umbus,
Ga., wrote that his loud
speaker was close to the window, and
that al of his neighbors hogs broke
out while the following men called
'.he wily porkers over station WAPI
last Friday night: T. M. Gowder,
Roy Sellers, Rowe Johnson, S. L.
Worley, W. T. Cox, Berlie Crump,
Joe Palmer and John Comer.
B. H. Walker talked very forcibly
on "Present Conditions of Farmers
in Alabama." He brought out the
fact that Alabama has a larger crop
of hay, potatoes, corn, cane, and cot­ton
than last year. This means that
the people will not suffer for some­thing
to eat even if cotton is ten
cents a pound.
"The X-ray' was very interesting­ly
discussed by J. C. Bull. Mr. Bull
explained how the X-ray was being
used to locate hidden pipes, flaws in
steel rails, to tell old from new pic­tures,
and for many other things too
numerous to mention.
W. Johnson discussed the "Cotton
Situation" in an able manner. He
told of the recent meeting in Mont­gomery
of representatives from
Georgia, Florida, and Alabama to
discuss remedies for.the present low
price of cotton. These agricultural
leaders decided to take four million
bales of cotton off the market for
two years.
Mr Savage discussed the "Current
Events" of the past week. He em­phasized
the Howard game and the
L. S. U. game next Saturday.
P. M. West keept the large crowd
in roars of laughter for several min­utes
with his jokes and natural wit.
J. B. Ruffian made a report to the
Club on "Auburn's Stock Judging
Team" which went to the Chatta­nooga
inter-state fair and the South­eastern
fair at Atlanta. He said
that the team had a good time al­though
they did not come out first.
The president, J. M. Herrin, re­minded
the Club that the Ag. fair
would be held October 22. Every­body
is invited to come and see what
the Ags are doing.
F. E. Bertram, the critic, compli­mented
the Club on having such a
large crowd of co-eds, visitors and
members present, for the snappy pro­gram,
and for the enthusiasm shown
in the club.
TURPENTINED
TREES ARE HIT
IN HURRICANE
Turpentined timber sustained by far
the greater part of the forest losses
caused by the recent hurricane that
crossed South Alabama, according to
investigations made by the State
Commission of Forestry. Round tim­ber,
as the trees that have not been
chipped for turpentine are called, suf­fered
comparatively little injury.
The reason for this lay in the fact
that the unchipped tree stems were
much stronger than those that had
been worked for naval stores.
I - In the case of a' very large tree
chipping extending from one-half
inch to one inch in depth does not
remove a very large proportion of
the cross section of the trunk. How­ever,
the same depth of facing on
small trees takes out a relatively
large proportion of the wood with a
corresponding increase in liability to
breakage. In fact, the practice of
turpentining small trees in general
usually results in a very heavy loss
to the timber owner from this cause
alone even from winds of usual velo­city.
Hurricane winds, of course, in­crease
the damage still more.
It would be difficult to estimate
the number of millions of dollars that
that timberland owners have lost
through allowing the turpentining oi
small trees. The impression is often
gained that turpentining does not
injure the growth, and many a land­owner
has allowed operators to work
small timbers only to find later that
the stand suffered an almost entire
loss of the trees chipped. Since
young pines make their most' rapid
growth between approximately four
inches and twelve inches in diame­ter,
it is exceedingly good business to
refrain from turpentining the trees
until they have reached the latter
size.

members have always taken part in
debates, oratorical contests, and have
made the Wirt stand out as the best
society on the campus. Some of our
most, distinguished professors were
members of the Wirt while they were
in colege. Doctors Ross and Petrie
were both members of the Wirt So­ciety.
The Wirt last year broadcast­ed
one of its weekly programs, this
being the first society in Auburn to
do this.
The next thing on the program
was a debate, "Resolved that it's
better to be fat and jolly than lean
and good -looking." The affirmative
was ably represented by Miss May
Belle Sentell, Mr. Nation, Miss
Hooper and Mr. Jones. The nega­tive
was represented by Miss Gaines,
Mrs. Lowery, Mr. Davis and Mr.
Peacock. Several good points were
brought out on both sides, and the
judges had a hard time deciding
which side had the best points. Fin­ally,
the judges, Mr. Johnson, Mr.
Beard and Miss Sentell decided that
the negative won.
Mr. Arley Bass, who won the
Birmingham News Scholarship to

speaker, and he stated that he was
very proud to be in Auburn and to
be a member of the Wirt. The So­ciety
assured Mr. Bass that it was

The weekly meeting of the Wilson-ian
Literary Society Tuesday night
was witnessed by seventy odd mem­bers,
who enjoyed the program.
New faces continue to appear at each
meeting, which shows the continuing
Increase of members.
More than one idea was brought up
for discussion. The decision on buy­ing
a new banner and getting a pic­ture
of Wilson for the society was
not reached, but was put aside until
the next meeting when the final de­cision
will be reached. Then a mo­tion
for a social was also brought be­fore
the members. This idea seem­ed
to take well and it seems that one
will be on program in the near fu­ture.
The society wishes to announce
that on Wednesday night the 27th of
October, it will broadcast its pro­gram
from station WAPI, Auburn,
Alabama. This program, it hopes,
will be one of the original kind that
is carried on each Tuesday night in
room 301, main building. The lis­teners
will be the judge as to how
good they think the Wilsonion is
striving to help the students of Ap-burn.
"The F u t u r e of American
Churches," by W. D. Lucas, was a
well prepared speech on the church
and its problem as pictured today.
Lucas pictured the improvement be­tween
societies, races, and many dif­ferent
forms of American^ life; show­ing
that the organized church was
the cause.
"Money," by Miss Haidee Nichols
gave a complete analysis of the
money situation as existing today.
The power of money was stressed.
"Florida's fight for recovery," by
Perry Edwards brough forward the
situation as exists in Florida since
the storm, showing that the gulf
state does not intend to stay down
nearly 20 per cent higher than at
this time last year with grocery and
mercantile houses report 30 per cent
increase in business. Between 15
and 20 new houses have been pro­jected
and will be completed in the
next few months. The lumber busi­ness
is at its peak.
The recent civic improvements in
Auburn indicated the prosperous con­dition
and it was pointed out, more
than ten miles of sidewalks having
been laid and approximately three
miles of street paving having been
completed as well as two miles of
truck sewer and one and one-half
miles of water main. The city ad­ministration,
headed by Mayor Yar­brough,'
re-elected for two years last
Monday, has projected a comprehen­sive
plan of civic improvement in­cluding
several additional miles of
street paving. Plans are. being made
'so for additions to the grammar
school.
"The chamber of commerce is
working continuously on the pro­blem
of getting roads leading into
Auburn in good travel condition,"
President Thomas said today. "Con­sidered
from every angle, it appears
that the city of Auburn will show
steady growth and perhaps as much
as 25 per cent general increase in
business during the next two years.
The growth is steady—not spasmo­dic—
there is no boom nor over-rat­ing
of values. The officials of the
chamber of commerce are not afraid
to prophesy a safe and sound invest­ment"
of 20 per cent growth in busi­ness
and residence profit as well as
an appreciable gain in population and
cooperation of town business and col­lege
interest."
FATHER TO SON
My boy, I pray although at times
you doubt me
Think this one thought unto the end
about me,
I, as your father, serve no selfish
pleasure.
You and your interest are my dear­est
treasure.
T'is, not to kill your happiness, I
check you
I know how swiftly storms may come
to wreck you.
I hold you back, not merely to en­slave
you
I cause you grief, from greater grief
to save you.
You'll live to walk with skillful men
and clever,
Men who can do things which I
could never,
But, Oh, my son, know this thought
others charm you
I am the one friend who will never
harm you.
I will not hurt you, wrong you, or
deceive you
I will not take all you can give and
leave you.
I may seem sterner far than people
do
But no one loveh you more than I
' d o .
My boy, I ask but this when'er yon__
doubt me
Always remember this fact about me
When all my faults and whems
you've noted,
I am your friend, unselfishly devot­ed.

"The Rising cost of American
Education," by Miss Mildred Che­shire
was very much outlined and
analyzed. She brought out a full
chapter on the improvement of the
educational system, showing that the
dollar has been lowered one-third
during the last ten years. "The
cause of increase in cost" she point­ed
out, "is due to the following
things: a much lafgsr number of
pupils; many more teachers; more
buildings; administrative list in­creased;
intelligence tests; and the
addition of more studies. Enlarge­ment
of cntensification," Miss
Cheshire explained "is the one word
which takes in the whole matter."

NEWS FROM ENEMY CAMP
Licking his chops after an appetizing
meal furnished by the Howard Bull­dog,
the Auburn Tiger looks forward
to the conflict with L. S. U., at Mont­gomery
Saturday. This will Mont­gomery's
first big game of the season.
The most important game in the
Southern Conference was also-one of
its biggest upsets. A crowd of 15,-
000 saw Georgia Tech turn back the
Green Wave from New Orleans to the
tune of 9 to 6. Tech's line was in­vulnerable
and Tulane resorted to an
aerial attack to score. Carter Bar­ron,
brother of the famous "Red"
Barron, and Murray reeled off much
needed yardage for Tech. Tulane lost
her first conference game since 1924,
when Mississippi A. and M. came
through with a victory.
Mike Donahue's team went down
before the strong team of the Uni­versity
of Tennessee by a score of 14
to 7. L. S. U. held 'the visitors for
downs on the 3-yard line—then lost
. m. a blocked punt. L. S. U.'s passing
game showed up well.
Georgia, even in defeat, showed a
strong team against Yale. The score,
19 to 0, conveys no idea of the close­ness
of the game. Georgia display­ed
a fine running and passing attack
carrying the ball to the 4-yard line
in the final period, only to lose it on
a fumble. Capt. Morton an3 Sher­lock
several times made runs that
gave the Elis a scare. Shiver, playing
right end, was the star in the line.
Clemson sprang a surprise when
they came from behind to defeat
North Carolina State, 7 to 3. Clemson
threatened several times before Tim-merman
put it over with a 55ryard
run.
Defense of Auburn
Sportsmanship By
an Auburn Student
By kicking two field goals to Cita­del's
one, the University of Chatta­nooga'won
a slow game, 6 to 3. For­ward
passes almost spelled 'Nooga's
undoing. Fennell, right half, who
will be remembered for his exploits
in the game with Auburn, was the
outstanding Chattanooga player.
After outplaying Texas A. & M., for
three quarters, Sewanee lost a hard-fought
game by a score of 6 to 3.
Blocking all but one of the Aggies'
punts, Sewanee seemed to have the
game won. Todd and Young had a
habit of making long runs and Caut-rell,
left end, was everywhere at
once. Esdorn, a new man on the Ti­ger
team, was stopping all attempts
on the part of the Farmers to score
and Todd snatched pass after pass
tossed by the opponents. Then in the
last few minutes of play the Aggies
swept down the field 7<} yards for a
touchdown.
Dope says that the Tiger will over­whelm
Tech on Turkey Day. Ogle­thorpe
beat Tech 7 to 6, Howard de­feated
Oglethorpe, 23 to 0, and the
Tiger won from Howard 33 to 14.
Which puts Auburn over 40 points to
the good.

of the contest. There is Pop Pat
terson, veteran pivot man of last
season and one of the Moreymens'
best bets for' the center position this
season. Pop is the last of the fam­ous
line of Pattersons who have play­ed
noble parts in the illustrious ath-
-'letic history of Auburn.
Burns and Holtzclaw, two former
Sidney Lanier High Schol luminaries
are slated for participation in the
struggle. The former, an end of no
mean ability, has played a steady
game thus far this season and can
be counted on to halt enemy drives
around his side of the line. T.
Holtzclaw is a new cog in Morey's
great line and is a pillar of strength
on the defense.
It is expected that there will be a
huge outpouring of Montgomery fans
to watch their fellow townsmen in
action against Mike's Louisiana Ti­gers.

Are we still good sports? Is the
present Auburn football team as clean
fighters as those of the years past
and gone? There seems to be quite
a bit of wild speculation on these
points of late.
To begin with, let us say right
here that they are as good sports,
and as clean fighters as will be found
anywhere in the world. Then, why
is it that there are so many dire
statements to the contrary? It is
simply this; For the first time since
1919, the Tiger is giving all his oppo­nents
a real hard scrap for the long
end of the score. This is the first
team we have had recently, that .com­pares
with those of the "good old
days." It seems that some writers
are badly inclined to give Auburn no
credit for the victories that she has
gained. Instead, they try to make
much out of the terms "piling on"
and others. That team goes out to
lick the opposition this year. They
go out with the firm belief that they
are the conqueror. There is no rule
that forbids a team piling on an oppo­nent
as much as it likes, before the
whistle blows ending the play. No
one can say that Auburn men have
failed to stop when the whistle blew.
'% here is nothing to prevent a man's
piling on if the opposing player per­sists
in geting up after he has been
downed, or trys to steal a yard or two
after being caught. That is good
football. Let it be said right here that
no team which puts up the fast brand
of football that Auburn is putting up
-this year is free from fouls and minor
violations of the rules. Auburn has
the hardest tackling team in the
South. Her line charges hard, and
fast in order that the shifty Auburn
backs may carry out their plays as
they are timed. Just because they are
so fast, they appear to be rough. Au­burn
has not drawn any more long
penalties than her opponents. True,
she has drawn many penalties for
offside, but that is just another indi­cation
of her speedy type of play.
Football is a man's game. It is true
that the Rules Committee has defac­ed
the original rules to such an ex­tent
that the game now more closely
resembles a game of tag than a foot­ball
game. No less a authority than
the head coach at the University of
Detroit has recently said that the
rules have been changed too much, and
it is getting to where the officials do
more of the ground gaining in many
games than the teams from scrim­mage.
Auburn has a wealth of material.
But, is that any reason the glory of
victory should be defaced? The
Army beat Auburn twice because they
had the best reserves, but did Au­burn
ever offer that as her alibi for
losing? Did she try to take from the
glory that was the Army's? No, she
only said that the reserves are the
team. That is true. A team is not
any strongar than her- reserves, gen­erally
speaking. Auburn had no re­serves
last year, but does she give
that as her reason for losing to other
teams? She never has, and never will.
She had a weak team, and that is the
whole story.
It has been strongly hinted at that
Auburn won one game last year, only
with the help of the referee. Every­one
knows that that particular re­feree
was fair to all, or else he would
not be called upon to referee so many
southern conference games. There ia
no evidence to the contrary. That was
a slap in the face of Auburn, and the
officials, and the team went out this
year to vindicate the team and offi­cials
as well. Let it be said that they
did it in a real "jam-up" fashion too.
Is Auburn any rougher than her
opponents? How many of her op­ponents
have been permanently in­jured,
or even seriously injured this
year? As far as we can find out
there are none. Isn't that proof
enough that they play fair? Where
have those black eyes, that you see
the Auburn players carrying, been
coming from? What does that signi­fy?
The verdict is self-evident. We
need no jury to convict. Then is Ap-burn
altogether the fault? Who clip­ped
Captain Turner on the opening
kickoff last Saturday? They knew
that he had been out of the line-up

ED ALLEN
The gentleman whose picture ap­pears
above needs no introduction to
Tiger grid fans, for "Rough Ed" Al­len
has served the Orange and Blue
well for three years. The star half­back
of the seasons '23 and '24, he
carved for himself a perpetual nook
in Auburn's Hall of Fame. Although
light, he is one of the scrappiest
players ever to don the- mole-skins.
When Ed hits a man he does more
than merely caress him. He hits him
in the good old Auburn style. In ad­dition
to his lightening-like speed he
has had quite a bit of experience, a
very valuable asset to any player.
In the homecoming game against
Clemson he carried the ball across
the century stripe for two touchdowns
while his defensive work was super­ior
in every respect to his past per­formances,
brilliant though they were.
Allen ,in addition to playing on the
football team, was a star third base­man
. and shortstop on the varsity
squad and earned quite a reputation
in the diamond game.
It is reported that the Tiger Flash
was heard to remark after one of his
first practice periods under King
David that "Rough Ed is Little Ed­die
now." He seems to us to be the
same old rough one, however, and we
shall never hold our breaths this fall
when an opposing back starts out on
a trip via the ends.
Ed failed to return to college last
season but he has reported this sea­son
bigger and better than ever. He
had his preparatory training at Sel-ma
High School and Marion Institute
the former school being his home
town.

Snyder and Salter
Win Headgear in
Saturday's Game
The announcement by The Toggery
Shop that a hat would be given to
the outstanding linesman and out­standing
backfield man on the Auburn
team in the game with Howard last
Saturday was viewed with interest
by all the eligibles but it seems that
"Square Jaw" Salter and "Snitch"
Snyder were more careful in their
attention to the knock of opportunity
and by virtue of their excellent work
of these ambitious youths are staun-tering
the campus with a new hat.
We must say that these two players
certainly deserved the reward they
received for they were in practically
every play of the game. Salter play­ed
throughout the game except the
last few minutes and his defensive
work was of the stellar type; he was
in on the Howard backs on many
plays throwing his adversaries for
losses. It was Snyder's fast offen­sive
work that spelled defeat for the
Bulldogs in the second half. He was
very elusive to the would be Howard
tacklers and stepped off substantial
gains on several successive plays. It
might be said here that it was no
easy matter to say who was the most
deserving of the flock of Auburn per­formers
; such men as Watwood, Long,
Fisher, Turner, and Nelson certainly
were putting forth much effort for
their Alma Mater. The student body
appreciates the attitude of the Tog­gery
Shop in its willingness to co­operate
with the players in this fit­ting
manner.
GRIDIRON GAB
- Everybody seems to be mighty well
pleased with the showing made by the
Auburn team against Howard last
Saturday, and indeed they have a
perfect right to be pleased. Any one
who saw the game realizes that the
Tigers were up against a Potential foe
when they met the Bulldogs from
down, Turner end Shotts was always

drive on the offense and they backed

that could not be denied victory.
Starting off slowly, but gaining mo­mentum
at every tick of the watch by
the time the game was over they were
so far ahead with the score that we
doubt if there was a man on either
.'.earn that knew what the score was.
The Rats kicked off to Marion and
they ran the ball back of the field and
it looked as if it would be only a few
seconds before they would score.
However, the Rats did not think that
way and before one could hardly real­ize
it the Rats had possession of the
ball. Due to an error of the head
linesman in calling the down Marion
ran with the ball instead of punting
on the last down thereby giving Au­burn
the ball in mid field. It was at
this point that things began to change
we might say here is where Craw­ford
and Callahan started their first
march toward Marions goal line. Yes,
they started marching but it turn­ed
out to be -a foot race during about
the last twenty-five yards. From
this point on it was the Rats' game.
Never did Marion seriously/threaten
the Rats after their flashy openng.
The Rats went through their line al­most
at will and when the line would
bolster up they would skirt either
end for substantial gains. It was
around" the ends that most of the
yardage was made, but the Rats
showed some stuff in the overhead
game as well. Their passes were not
as accurate and well timed as they
should be, and no doubt will be in a
few days, but they were deceptive and
most of them were completed. They
all season on account of weak ankles.
They drew no penalty for the act.
Then, who first used rough tactics
in that game? evidently they did, for
that was the first play of the game.

also showed a strong defense against
passes, grounding several and inter­cepting
two or three. One of these
interceptions was one of the thrills of
the game. Haggard, Rat quarter­back
received the ball from a Marion
back and dodged and twisted thru
the mass of linesmen and then with
some good interference he sidestep­ped
his way about fifty yards for a
touchdown. - —
The starting lineup was Shannon
and G. Long ends, Robinson and
Rouse guards, Spense and Long
tackles, Stoutenboro center, Ward
quarter, Coleman full, and Crawford
and Callahan halves. '.To pick the
stars from this crowd wflfrld just be
a repetioion of the above lineup, for
it can truly be said that each man
did his share while he . was in the
game. Stoutenboro at center had to
be removed early because of an in­jury
and this can be said of him; the
tall boy was in every play. Alver-verson
relieved Stoutenboro and Mar­ion
was never glad that he got in
because he gave them considerable
trouble from then on. Substitutions
came thick and fast all during the
game as the coach could afford to take
chances and too he wanted to see just
what each man had. Yes, he got an
eye full too. We wonder what he
thought when his scrubs played like
his varsity. Well it wasn't that he
had a bad varsity but that he had
just one big varsity. In the back-field
Crawford and Callahan were the
most reliable ground gainers. They
both showed ability in running and
following interference. ^
Cosper was not in long, but he
found a hole in the line then gave the
defensive backs a demonstration of
sidestepping and stiff arming and
then a little speed over the chalk
marks for a touchdown. Coleman
looked like Fats Lawrence on the de­fense
and Sea Cow on the offense.
Garner, a substittue linesman was
busy talking to his opponent but nev­er
got to busy to make tackles, throw­ing
them for losses or stopping them
any where they happened to be. It
was a great game and both sides
fought hard, but our Rats won on pure
football and the best team won.
LOOK OUT BULL PUPS.
stage of the game that the Tigers dis­played
their real strength and show­ed
over no less than four touch-downs,
but this is over and we must turn our
attention to such foes as L. S. U., Tu­lane,
and other conference teams to
follow the aforementioned ones.

We could not help noticing Synder
and Salter wearing new hats around
last Monday as a result of their ex­cellent
performance in the Howard
game. The Toggery Shop offered a
hat to the outstanding linesman and
the outstanding backfield man in the

game with Howard and these two
ambitious youths were not slow to
seize the opportunity to cut down their
haberdashery bill for the fall months.

All the spectators at Rickward Sat­urday
were loud in their praise of the
wonderful offensive work exhibited by
Snyder. This does not mean that
such speed artists as Fisher, Nelson,
and Ellis were not there for their
share of glory in the victory. Every
one of the above men showed their
heels to more than one Howard tack­ier.

When it was necessary to hit the
line for a few yards to make a first
j tackle for any amount of gain and
frequently threw them for losses.
Wattwood and Patterson also did
some spectacular playing.
* * *
For Howard, Bancroft was the out­standing
player partly because he
could do so many things well. His
generalship of the team was com­mendable,
his dropkicks were perfect,
and besides this he could punt, pass
and run with the ball. Other men
for Howard who played an excellent
game were Bradley, Lollar and Wil-kins.
* * *
It will be quite a treat to old Au­burn
men to see Mike Donahue direc­ting
the destinies of a team that is
the foe to the Auburn team for this
one day. We all wish Mike good luck
in his profession but we feel that for
this one day we must diverge from
this feeling and yell for another Au­burn
Victory.
The results of the world series
seems to have pleased most of the Au­burn
student body as they were pull­ing
for St. Louis. Thanks to Victor
Hanson, the broadcasting station here
was able to furnish the "air" with a
play-by-play account of the series.

but the real significance of it is that
several hundred people will journey
from various sections of the state to
witness the clash of Mike Donahue's
L. S. U. eleven with the Auburn Ti­gers.
This game is the first real
football classic of the season for
Montgomery and will in all proba­bility
attract many of the sport lovers
of Montgomery.
It certainly should because the Ben­gals
from the Plains are led by none
other than a Montgomery boy, Cap­tain

RATS PREPARING
FOR GAME WITH
HOWARD FROSH
With the matter of the Marion
game now history, and a glorious
chapter it is, the Rats are hard at
work preparing for their next battle.
This next scrap is to be with none
other than our friends the Bull Pups
of Howard College. With the spirit
at the height that it is between these
two aggregations there is no doubt
that this game will be a repetition of
the one of last Saturday between the
representatives from the two schools.
Of course we are not predicting that
the score will be 33-14, but we are
guessing that it will be no less than
that, and the baby tigers will be on
the long end unless we miss our sec­ond
guess. Coach Browns' team show­ed
some real football ability coupled
with many tons of the old Auburn
fight and was rewarded with an over-a
Montgomery lad. These facts | whelming victory over a much more

coupled with the fact that Auburn
has one of the strongest teams she
has had in several seasons should
assure a large attendance from the
Capitol City population. The Tigers
themselves should not worry at all
about getting this all necessary cheer­ing

they are planning on going to Mont­gomery
fifteen hundred strong. A
special train leaves the Village about
eight o'clock A.M. and will be loaded
with enthusiastic Auburn "Rooters".
Everyone who saw the Tigers come
from behind and completely smother
the hopes of the Howard Bulldogs
in Birmingham last Saturday feels
confident of victory over the Tigers
from Louisiana, although it is to be
expected that Donahue will have a
team out there to give Morey's crew
a hard fight. The L. S. U. boys show­ed

lost to the Tennessee team 14-7.

is feat that we are all proud" of; not
only that the Rats won, but one could
only draw on his imagination a lit­tle
and see several of those men that
were out there Saturday in a varsity
uniform. There is sure football abil­ity
in that crowd.
Interest is high among the Rats as
each is saying th£t""+R has got to
make the Birmingham trip. Of course
who will go is still a question to be
decided, but the ones that go can be
trusted to give a good account of
themselves when it comes to handling
Bull Pups. The starting line up will
probably be changed from the one that
started against Marion. Neither will
there be as much reserve material on
hand, but it should not take as much
power to stop towards' Rats as it
did the Howard aggregation. This
column has been banking on the Rats
since their first practices and so far
has been corect in its predictions
about the Rats so we are still pulling

THREE LEAGUES
TO HAVE JOINT
MEET MNDAY
For the past three Sundays, the
three Epworth Leagues ,of the Au­burn
E. L. Union have been meeting
separately. During this time, the
memberships of the leagues have
greatly increased; much more inter­est
has been manifested in league
work; many important things have
been accomplished; and everything is
looking rosy in general. Attractive
programs have been presented and
each Sunday night sees an increase
in attendance over the previous Sun­day
night. Indications are that the
Auburn leagues this year will exceed
all records for interest and attendance
that have been set during the past
years.
TKB coming Sunday night will
bring the three leagues together in
session. Mr. W. T. Edwards, the
leader, has prepared a very appro­priate
program which will precede the
business session which follows.
Among the important business mat­ters
to be discussed is the advisability
of conducting the monthly union
meeting on a night other than Sun­day
night. The adoption of a unfon
budget and policy will be other fea­tures
of the business session.
A suitable recognition will be giv­en
to the Epworth League that has
the largest percentage of its mem­bership
present. Friendly competition
is keen between the various leagues
and their is much speculation as to
which league will make the best
showing Sunday night. Visitors are
welcome to all of the league meet­ings.
Remember the time—Sunday
night, Oct. 17th at 6:30; the place—
the Methodist church auditorium and
not in the Sunday School building as
was previously announced.

A.I.E'E. HOLDS
FIRST MEETING
OF THE YEAR
The initial meting of the A. I. E.
E., for the present term, was held
on Wednesday, September 22. The
substance of this meeting included the
election of a Plainsman reporter and
a very interesting talk, the *title of
which was Engineering Education—
Its History and Prospects, as taken
from the September issue of the A.
I. E. E. Journal and presented by Mr.
Crawford. -
At the second meting, held in
Room 200, of Ramsey Engineering
Building, "Prof" Hixon was very
much in the lime-light with his in­teresting
discussion of several uni­que
engineering materials. The first
ox these that he took up was bake-lite.
Professor Hixon told of the
years of work in perfecting this ma­terial;
and as a result, L. H. Bake-land
was the first to make any pro­gress
in this line. He conceived the
idea of intensive heating under very
high pressure. This gave him one of
the most valuable materials that has
been perfected in this country. Prof.
essor Hixon gave its entire history of
manufacture and its uses. Bakelite
highly deserves its name, the mat­erial
of a Thousand Uses. The
greatest use is found in the electrical
field, because of its properties of
good insulation, strength, and resis­tance
to any form of deterioration.
The next material that he discussed
was Siliconite. The only known de­posit
of this ore is located on a cer­tain
mountain top, six thousand feet
above sea level. It is shipped to the
factory in Ohio via burros, trucks,
and trains. Siliconite is used in the
manufacture of corse for spark plugs
because of its small coefficient of
expansion.
Professor Hixon concluded his pro­gram
by an exhibition of several of
his magic card tricks.
, The last bit of business was finish­ed
with the selection of a design for
an electrically lighted sign for adver­tising
the metings of the A. I. E. E.
Successive weekly meetings of the
A. I. E. E. will be held at 7:00 p. m.,
in Room 20, Ramsey Engineering
building. All prospective members
and visitors are cordially invited to
attend these meetings.

With the half-century mark reach­ed
by the Wilsonian, who claimed that
for their attendance Tuesday night,
many joyful faces departed from the
meeting with hearts bent upon getting
more members.
"That" fellow students, should show
v-hat a real society is doing—and this
the second meting of the college year.
If some one isn't careful they might
be missed when the final roll is call­ed
and the eats passed around. Re-meber
that won't be next spring, but
in the next month or two. Then, don't
you need a few quality points?
Our most loved and faithful presi­dent,
J. M. Earnest, had charge, with
M. H. Simmons filling his regular seat
as secretary. "Little" Salter has the
door job, and served-well on his first
attendance.
"Another victory for Electrifica­tion,"
given by E. T. Bright, who
showed clearly how Chicago has fin­ally
solved the problem of electrify­ing
her railway system throughout
the city, thereby eliminating the dust
and smoke of the steam engine.
"President Markman, of the Illinois
Central railroad," Bright showed, "is
leading in the enterprise." Although
the cost of the project will stand .'.t
$52,000,000 a faster transportation is
assured the city, at the same time in­creasing
the beauty and cleanliness of
the great metropolis, Chicago.
Giving a short synopis on "Peo­ple,"
Miss Hazel Arant used this
as her "Own Topic." "People are,
on an average, dissatisfied with
Life," Miss Arant showed by sta­tistics.
'The youth of the country
cherish the life in the city, while the
elders show the kindest life of all.
The big thing the people wish for is
a change."
"What Are You Worth?" as ex­pounded
by Keener Kimbrough,
proved to be a complete inventory of
the cost, value, production, consump­tion,
and distribution of the Ameri­can
citizen, as outlined by the Metro­politan
Life Insurance company. Be­ing
well versd in figures, Kimbrough
startled the minds of the members
with a few rapid fire calculations on
the value of man; showing that at
30, man reaches his highest earning
capacity, while at 80 he is worthless.
"The.recent entrance of Germany
into the League of Nations has prov­en
very dissatisfactory to the other
members". This was the proof giv­en
by Sam Mosley as he unraveled
the development of the League. "The
great plan of Wilson's, which held
it's seventh meeting recently, when
Germany was admitted and the exit
of Brazil and Spain, may prove to
be only a European League after all
With two seats still held vacant
for Russia and the United States,
it is very likely if Wilson's dream of
A world League will ever material­ize.'
'
A cure for our mosquito epidemic
was spoken of by R. J. Perklej who
returned to school rather than re­main
in the Florida country, which
has since become a wreck. Perkle
showed that by each student taking a
little time'each day to fight them,
the mosquito would finally be elim­inated.
"The Florida storm," Per­kle
showed, "must have been the re­sult
of over-production on the part
of the Florida people." He told of
how they had used Sunday as i
week day, never stopping to worship
God as they should. "The cure" he
said, "is not to cut working hours
but to rest on Sunday, subtracting
these 24 hours from the production
of the week."
With—a-4ist of news items and
jokes collected from the campus,
F. O. Cornelious concluded the rich
program of the evening by adding
enough spice and laughs to keep the
members awake until next Thurs­day.
Our tried and trusted critic, G. B.
Phillips, only complimented the work
of the members, adding that in case
a member could not serve on the pro­gram,
when notified, to send word at
once to F. E. Burtram, chairman
of the program committee. \
W. H. Saunders, head football
coach at Clemson College, handed in
his resignation after the disastrous
defeat handed his team by the Au­burn
Tigers on October 2. He gave
as his reason for resigning, that it
was for the best for the college's
interests. *
King College, Bristol, Tenn, has
started a 750,000 dollar campaign for
the rebuilding and improving of their

of success.
SECOND MEET
OF AG CLUB IS
INTERESTING
The second meeting of the Ag. Club
was held Wednesday night in Comer
hall. Before the president called the
meeting to order at seven o'clock the
hall was crowded with Ag. students,
co-eds, and visitors.
R. J. Perkle, who has been absent
from the A. P. I. for a year, gave
an interesting talk on his year's ex­perience
in Hollywood, Fla. Mr.
Perkle left Florida just before the
recent storm. However, he was in
the storm which struck there in Aug­ust,
and he said that h? did not care
o be in a worse one.
M. T. Gowder kept the crowd in
roars of laughter for some time with
his jokes which he pulled on various
members of the club.
"Current EVents of the Past Sum­mer"
were ably discussed by C. S.
Wiliams. Outstanding among these
was Germany's entrance into the Lea­gue
of Nations, Mexico's fight on the
Catholic church, and the death of sev­eral
prominent men and women of
world-wide prominence.
Prof. George L. Fick was intro­duced
to the-club by F. S. Arant.
Prof. Fick, who did his M. S. work
at Michigan State in horticulture,
comes to us as Professor of botany.
Mr. Fick expressed great pleasure in
bsing here and in seeing such large
attendance, enthusiasm, and pep in
the Ag. Club.
The president, J. M. Herren, an­nounced
the Ag. Fair which will be
held Oct. 22. This is one of the many
big events which will take place
among the Ag- students during the
year.
After Prof. Grimes and President
Herren explained the Hog Calling
Contest, twenty-three men tried their
ability before the Club at calling wan­dering
porkers.
The judges, Profs. Grimes, Guy-ton
and Fick, decided that the fol­lowing
men should compose the team
which will be heard over the W. A.
P..I. Friday night, Octo. 8:
L. H. Stinnett, M. T. Gowder, L.
G. Bracken, S. L. Worley, Rat Com­er,
Rat Crump, R. J. Perkle, Roy Sel­lers,
W. T. Cox and Rowe Johnson.
The listeners will return cards
stating which of these ten men should
have the prize of five dollars as
champion hog-caller of the Ag. Club.
The most'welcome call
to smoke ever sounded
NEVER was there a smoke invita­tion
that could compare with
"Have a Camel!"
On swirling city streets. In the
roadster as it hounds over the hills.
In the study or by the fireside, no
other smoking phrase is so pro­vocative
of enjoyment and friend­ship.
In its realization comes a
boundless sense of gratitude and
contentment.
That is because Camels are the
favored smoke of millions of ex­perienced
and successful men. To
ever-increasing millions who have
tried them all, who could well
afford to pay more, Camels are the
first and only choice. Since the
dawn of smoking, there has never
been a success like Camel's.
Camel preference is the inevi­table
expression of Camel quality.
No other cigarette made is, like
Camels. No other smoke was ever
so smooth and mellowy mild. For
your own high pleasure, we invite
you to rise to the world's most cele­brated
smoke call. Have a Camel!

S.A.M.E. MEETING
TO BE HELD ON
MONDAY NIGHT
From all appearance the S. A. M. E.
is one of the most lively organiza­tions
on the campus. It held its re­gular
weekly meting Monday night
at seven o'clock in the Engineer
Room of the main building. Mr. W.
R. Waugh was elected publicity man
for the society. H. M. Riddle gave a
very interesting talk on the recent
"Flight around the World." He gave
in detail the preparations and proce­dure
of the flight.
"Regulations of Traffic in the War
Zone" was discussed by Mr. Griffin,
in which he gave the traffic engineer
an important part.
W. C. Hurt discussed the Flood
control in Ohio during the time Day­ton
was almost covered by water.
The program was heartily enjoyed
by all. present and it is hoped that
more of the Engineer Unit wil be­come
affiliated with the Society.
SCIENCE AND EGGS; HOW A
BETTER RACE OF POULTRY
IS PRODUCED
Down at Auburn fpr many months,
now, there has been an "egg-laying
contest" in progress. Many persons
have read reports of this in the state
press and have not at all grasped
its true significance or its effect.
They have not appreciated that one
of the principles of evolution is be­ing
put in effect, and that out of it
will come a race of hens that will
produce more eggs than the tribes
they replace.
One White Leghorn hen has laid
300 eggs in 11 calendar months, or
335 days. The world's record is 332
eggs in one year—and the Auburn
hen has another month to add to her
record of 300. "The eggs laid by this
hen have averaged one and one-half
pounds per dozen. This is 37 1-2
pounds of eggs, or eight times her
own weight of four and one-half
pounds.
She is a product of evolution, or
careful selection of stock. Years ago
someone had a hen that laid more
eggs than other in the flock. Just
why she did so cannot be explained.
Her eggs were hatched and some of
her progeny were given that same
characteristic. Those chickens were
nated with males also from an extra
good laying strain. And so, season
after season, the best layers have
been culled and the best layers have
been kept, until there are strains
of chickens now that can be depend­ed
upon to produce heavily as layers.
It is the same principle Burbank ap­plied
in breeding up plants; it is the
same principle used in breeding up
dairy herds. It is developing the
usefulness and best features of the
individuals until the strain is fixed
and certain. /
It is rather an anonaly that man
can do these things with lesser crea­tures
while the human race is left to
haphazard. A "race of super-men
and women has been the dream of
philosophers and students of eugenics
but, aside from the experiment of the
Spartans, has never gotten beyond

admitted that he had joined the
benedicts during the early part of
September, before entering college.
After a little more questioning he
told of how the romance had started
at a house party in Hurtsboro, Ala.,
his home town, three summers ago.
He told of how the ceremony was
planned in early September, and of
his intention to guard closely his se­cret
until after his graduation at
Auburn next spring. He also stated
that on last Monday that he had re­ceived
evidences that some one had
gained information of his marriage.
Mrs. Pruitt is the charming daugh­ter
of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Edwards of
Union Springs. She is widely known
in social sircles throughout southeast
Alabama and is a graduate of Flor­ence
Normal. Mrs. Pruitt is at pres­ent
engaged in teaching at Billings-ley,
Ala., and according to informa­tion
received here was enroute to
take up her school duties when the
marriage took place in Montgomery.
Mr. Edwards, Mrs. Pruitt's step-fath­er,
is mayor of Union Springs and
president of the First National Bank
of Union Springs and prominent in
business, circles of that section.
Mr. Pruitt, is prominent in student
activities, a member of the Senior
class and in addition to being a mem­ber
of the Tiger football varsity, is
a member of the A. T. O. fraternity
and a number of other clubs and so­cieties

The first dance of the series took
place Thursday night. Although
there was not such a large number
present that night the dance was
thoroughly enjoyed. The Friday night
dance was judged by popular opinion
to be the best of the series. About
11 o'clock the grand march was in
order. The march was led by Warren
DeBardelcben with Miss Ruth Fair
of Brenau. They were assisted by
Mr. Bob Parker and Miss Mary May
of Albany, Ga. The Saturday night
dances were featured by Sophomore
"Leads," and "no breaks." As the
last strains of "Home, Sweet Home"
were being played Saturday night, the
Sophomore Hops of 1926 were herald­ed
to a close. Behind were memories
of pleasant friendships formed, and
evenings of unstinted pleasures; be­fore
were vague thoughts of class­rooms,
recitations, and—The Junior
Prom. v
Miss Zoe Dobbs, the social derector,
states that the opening-dances were
not perhaps as brilliant as the Junior
Prom, and the Finals, but that they
did not fall short in the things that
constitute the merits of a good dance.
Miss Dobbs says that as yet the
dances do not present an ideal situa­tion,
but she notes a constant im­provement
in each successive dance.
She thanks the young men for their
co-operation throughout the past
dances and comments on the attrac­tiveness
of the young ladies who con­tributed
so much of what it takes to
make merry in a clean wholesome and
charming manner.

WIRT SOCIETY
HAS SOCIAL
LAST SEMESTERS HONORS
ANNOUNCED BY REGISTRAR
(Contiued from Page 1)
The Wirt Literary Society had a
very good program Tuesday night
when it gave a social in honor cf the
old members of the society.
Professor Rutland spoke on "Ac­tivities
of The Wirt During My Col­lege
Days." He said that while there
were not so many members then as
now, many of the best known men of
the College were members. Dr.
Thach was-a Wirt member, and took
great interest in the society. The
Wirt has always taken a prominent j
part in debates and oratorical con-j
tests.
Miss Katherine Nunn gave a read­ing
entitled "Billy Baxter in Love."
It was enjoyed by everyone. Profes­sor
Hamilton spoke on "Benefits to
be Derived from Belonging to a Lit­erary
Society." He said that he
thought literary societies -should de­vote
part of their time to the study
ers. This would help the student to
of literature and of different writ­ers.
This would help the student to
appreciate literature, and would be a
great help to him in his college work.
Professor Hare said that speeches
in literary societies rid one of stage
fright, and helps, one to think on his
feet. The societies also prepare a
person to make impromptu speeches
and to speak with conviction. Pro­fessor
Hutchins, who has charge of
the inter-society contests, was the
next speaker. He said that Declama­tion
Contest would be held soon. He
urged the Wirt to send a good speak­er
to represent it. ga.
Miss Pinnell gave a reading,
"Trouble in The Family," and it was
very interesting. Mr. Rufiin told of
his recent trip to Chattanooga
and of the good time that he had
while he was there. Mr. N. 0 . Smith
a new member, said that he was very
glad to be with the society. Mr.
Terry, an old member, said that the
Wirt did him a great deal of good
while he was in college, and that
he was very glad to come back.

were kept busy answering calls. They
came from a radius of 100 miles and
each call represented from one or
two families to one thousand people
In many towns the reports indicated
that most of the inhabitants were

Broadcasting the last game turn­ed
out to be a big radio party, along
with a ball game. At the outset a
listener in Columbus, Ga., offered to
give the announcer, Bill Young, a
new hat if the Cardinals won and an­nouncement
of this offer brought
many others from the huge audi­ence
in two states. At the conclus­ion,
Mr. Young found that he has a
complete wardrobe coming to him.
Not to b e l e f t out, a druggist called
and said that he would give Mr.
Young a bar of soap with which to
wash his clothes and broadcasting
this brought at once an offer to give
towels. Seeing that he was about to
be left out an undertaker called and
in jest, made an offer of a second­hand
casket and another responded
with a first-class robe. So Mr.
Young is in position to either live or
die, due to 'the excellentand clever
manner in which he announced the
series.
Although Station WAPI is operat­ed
by the Extension service of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute it is
featuring athletics. Each varsity
football game is broadcast play by

will also be broadcast. <
