TWENTY NINE MEN
ON CLEMSON TRIP
Many Students Make Trip to
South Carolina With
Team
A bad start is often a sigh of a
good ending and as this familiar old
saying goes; so should our football
team. Following their defeat at the
hands of the Green and White crew
from "the Land of Flowers," Coach
Dave sent his many candidates
through several stiff workouts and
now has them in much- better shape
than in the previous- game. Even
now, the aspirants have only been on
the field for three weeks which is an
exceedingly short time to get one's
self in real fighting trim. But, no
alibis are to be offered. That is not
true to the fine old Auburn spirit.
Yes, we. were beaten last Saturday.
We regret it,Jbut don't intend to let
it hamper our spirits in the least.
That should make us fight all the
harder and goes to show the student
body just how badly the team needs
your entire cooperation. V
Last Saturday, Clemson opened up
with the strong Presbyterian eleven,
rated as the best team in the State,
and managed to fight to a scoreless
tie. That game boosted the pros­pects
at Clemson, because the Pres-

NIGHT GAME HELD
IN MONTGOMERY
Something over five thousand fans
saw Cloverdale and Pike Road clash
in the first night foot ball game that
has ever been played in the south
The light was plentiful on the
field but the darkness made it easy
on the home folks outside the park,
These lights were swung in the air
about as high as the average punt
goes in height. Each line had fif­teen
lights on it, and they looked just
like that many suns rising. To prove
that the light was plentiful forward
passes were flung often and many
of them completed. There was only
one fumble during the game. The
numbers on the backs of the players
were easy to read and this enabled
all the spectators to keep up with the
game and the players. Cloverdale
won the game 71 to 0.
ENGINEER MAKES
SUCCESS FARMING
Can an engineer make a success
farming? If the dairy cow success
of Prof. F. C. Hulse, civil engineer
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
is couclusive this question may be
answered in the affirmative.
Prof. Hulse has received from the
American Jersey Cattle Club two
certificates on the performance of
his "family" cow in 1926. One shows
that this cow was the champion "aged
Jersey cow" and the other shows
that she was the champion "register-of-
merit cow" in Alabama in 1926.
She was on official test During the
year she produced 670 pounds of
butterfat, equivalent to approximate­ly
781 pounds of butter—an average
of more than 2 pounds of butter per
day for the year. She was 8 years
old at the beginning of the test.
J. V. Arnold Dies
In Auto Crash at
Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Student Body Thrown Into
Sorrow by News
All Auburn mourns the death of
James Vincent Arnold, Jr., one of
her best beloved sons and a member
of the Junior Class who passed into
the great beyond Sunday morning.
Anold, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. V.
Arnold, of 1435 South Eighteenth
Street, Birmingham, was a member of
the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, having
been their alternate representative
to the inter-fraternity council. Tak­ing
the Agricultural course, he was
interested in all their activities,
being a member of the Agricultural
Club and Advertising Manager of the
Alabama Farmer. Beloved by all, he
was one of the most -popular students
on the campus, and his memory will
be cherished in the hearts of all who
knew and loved him.
- Arnold died Sunday morning in the
Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa,
as the result of injuries received
when the car, in which he and two
students of the University were re­turning
from the opening dances,
crashed over an embankment, twenty
miles south of Tuscaloosa. All three,
occupants were thrown, from the car,
two of them escaping with minor in­juries
while Arnold suffered a frac­tured
skull and serious internal in­juries.
Last rites were conducted from the
residence at ten-thirty a. m. Tues­day
and at eleven a. m. in the South
Highlands Presbyterian Church, with
the Reverend W. R. Doyne officiat­ing.
Burial followed at the family
lot in Elmwood Cemetery^ Active
pallbearers were William McCall,
Don Sessions, Richard Evans, Garth
Gilchrist, Hugh Dowling, Paul Pan-key,
John Dagg Miller, and Edward
Murray. Honorary pallbearers were
members of the Beta Eta Chapter of
Kappa Sigma, at Auburn, members
of the Beta Chapter of Kappa Sigma,
at Alabama, Kappa Sigma alumni in
Birmingham, and members of the
Cavaliers Club of Birmingham.
Arnold was twenty years of age at
the time of his death. He is survived
by, the parents, two sisters, Anne
Catherine and Elverie Arnold, the
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E. H.
Arnold, of Boston, Kentucky, and
James G. Burnside, of Lancaster,
Kentucky.
Dr. Thomas'House
Given By College
Dr. Thomas, the college physician
at Auburn, has just moved into his
new home on North College Street.
It is a new nine room house of colo­nial
architecture and has all the mod­ern
conveniences including a hot
water heating system, built in ironing
board and cupboards, closet space
galore, two- bathrooms, an electric
stove, and is wired for an electric
refrigerator which is to be install­ed
later.
From the outside the house pre­sents
a very pleasing appearance.
It is painted a cream color with
green shutters and has a gray com­position
roof. There is no real front
porch but instead a spacious sun par­lor
at the side which, when the win­dows
are thrown open, will provide
plenty of air on a stuffy summer
evening. The sun parlor will be just

AUBURN TO HAVE
DEBATE COUNCIL
According to reports of the twenty-four
social fraternities on the Auburn

have been pledged since the
opening of freshman week. This
number is approximately one half of
the entire freshman class.
The first week in which freshmen
begin to arrive in Aubru is known
as "pledge week," in which time the
greater majority of bids are offered.
However throughout the year others
are pledged.

SORORITY GIVES
BEAUTIFUL PARTY
Among the number of interesting
and beautiful parties given last week
was that of the Phi Alphi Chi Soror­ity
in honor of their rushees. After
a salad course with waffles, followed
by a_n ice cream course, the guests
adjourned to the porch where they
participated in card games.
, The Honorees were Misses Ruth
Murray, Lane Graves, Grace Moon,
Evelyn Henry, Patricia Askew, Mil­dred
Dimmitt, Evelyn Bryant, Lois
Wells, Ruth Frisby, Edna Earl Pen­nington,
Margaret Lowrenz, Pauline
Watkins and Myrtle Wilson.
Plans are rapidly being formulated
for the organization of a Debating
Council. This council will foster in-ter-
cellegiate debating, and will de­velop
in every manner possible, de­bating
on the campus.
In the years gone by, there has
been very little interest shown in
this activity by the student body as
a whole. This may be due to the
fact that we have had only three
inter-collegiate debates each year.
However, steps are being taken to
schedule a number of other debates
.both on the campus and off. We
sincerely hope that the students will
give this activity their whole-hearted
backing and put Auburn in her pro­per
position in the Debating Realm.
"In order that the Auburn Engi­neer,
a monthly publication, may be­come
a member of the Engineering
College Magazine Association seven­ty-
five per cent of the engineering
students must subscribe to the En­gineer,"
according to Carol Worth-ington,
business manager of the Au­burn
Engineer. It is almost indis-pensible
that Auburn, being one of
the leading engineerng schools of the
South, should be represented in this
magazine association so that it may
be placed with the highest ranking
engineering college magazines of the
south.
According to the officials of the
publication up to this time all the
requirements that go to make it a
success this year have not been met.
The proper subscription support is
now requested.
Set Old Drawing
Instruments On
Display at Shop
A set of drawing instuments
bought in 1825 have been on display
in the Student Supply Shop window.
This old set which was lent by Mr.
George Morgan one time belonged to
his grandfather, Mr. T. H. Morgan.
This century old set, which was
found in a cupboard by its present
owner, is in practically as good con­dition
as it was when it was purchased
in Hudson, New York.
The set is made of brass in a high
grade of tool steel having African
Ivory handles. At the time of its
purchase its owner, Mr. T. H. Mor­gan,
was an apprenticed engineer.
The set, which is today as accurate
as you can obtain anywhere, was used
in making drawings and specifica­tions
for the old Hudson River Rail­road,
now the New York Central
which is one of the largest railroads
in America. This however was only
the beginning of its long course of
servitude. It was next used in rail­road
work in Virginia during the
early railroad days but never once
was the care of it neglected. During
the War Between the States i t helped
the South for what it thought was
right. It was used by its original
owner around Savannah, Georgia,
during this period.
From here it is literally lost until
it is resurrected by the grandson of
its original owner who found it in a
cupboard in his home. With the hand
made set was found an ivory slide
rule. Altho this resembles the slide
rule of today it is not the one that
we know but only a system of work­ing
logarithms. The old slide rule
which was hand engraved was made
to be used with a pair of dividers.
This article which went to complete
the old set was made around 1600.
The fondness for good instruments
has proved to be a family trait for
today the grandson of the first owner
of the famous set is engaged in sell­ing
Keuffel and Esser drawing sets
and 'supplies at the Student Supply
Shop.
The presence of approximately 150
fair visitors from various parts of
the country, who began arriving in
Auburn Thursday evening and con­tinued
through Friday morning, made
the opening dances, officially called
the Sophomore Hop, a tremendous
success. The event was the first of
its nature for the year. The orches­tra,
the Carolina Gamecocks, was a
complete fulfilllment of the recom­mendations
given it. Commendation
for the entertainment that they of­fered
at Auburn will be added to
their reputation.
The decorations were the most at­tractive
that gymnasium has ever
witnessed. The Arabian style was
unusually well designed. Red and
black streamers were directed over­head
from the orchestra to make the
roof. The orchestra background was
made with a silhouette effect.
The opening ball Thursday night
consisted of: first nobreak, Sopho­more
leadout, a feature dance and
intermission which was followed by
(Continued on Page 6.)
CO-EDS INVADE
CLASS MEETING
Co-ed members of the class of thirty
attended class meeting for the first
time in the history of the class! Three
of the members of this fair group in­vaded
what has hitherto been a pure­ly
stag affair, and flaunted their
equality with the stags by voting on
all questions . However, none of
them made a speech, and aside from
distracting the attention of the fel­lows
from their business, they caused
no trouble, whatsoever, but sat de­murely
chewing their gum throughout
the meeting.
The presence of these co-eds at the
class meeting causes us to wonder,
does this foretell a widespread femi­nist
movement within our ranks?
Editors Note: It is also rumored
that several of the fair Co-eds were
present at the Junior Class Meeting.
KAPPA DELTA HAS
RUSHEE PARTIES
During rush week Sigma Lambda
of Kappa Delta entertained at two
parties in honor of her rushees—
Mildred Dimmitt, Mamye Miller, and
Irene Brown, Auburn; Mildred and
Miriam Moore, Opelika; Grace Moon,
Hamilton; and Flora Hickman, Bir­mingham.
The first was. a barn dance Tues­day
night. The chapter room was
decorated with-hay, and stalks of
sugar cane. Members of the chapter
donned overalls and went after their
dates with a real horse and buggy
after which they all went to the
room where they danced and drank
punch and ate cakes and sugar cane,
dinner was given. The cocktail was
served at the home of Eloise Floyd,
the main course by Louise Earnest,
salad by Sara Hall Chrewshaw, and
dessert by Frances Moore. The Soro­rity
colors, green and white, were
carried out in the candles, mints, etc.
After dinner the Chapter and rushees
were.' beautifully entertained by
Erances Harris at her home. The
girls met their dates there and en­joyed
dancing until a late hour.

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT
The Plainsman staff is busy, efficient,
and faithfully "Fostering the Auburn
Spirit."
Our sister publications, The Alabama
Farmer and The Auburn Engineer, are
opening the new session in fine style.
Our Co-eds are more plentiful and more
beautiful?
The new profs are "filling the bill" won­derfully.
They have already acquired that
peculiar Auburn Spirit prevalent among
profs here, namely, that of popping the
quizzes. <
Dean Petrie is still on the job, cooling
off Freshmen. He seems to be functioning

Auburn is receiving aid from the Legis­lature,
which may mean the completion of
plans for a "Greater Auburn."
The Student Orchestra is furnishing real
entertainment over Radio during the noon
hour.
In Christian Herald, September 17,
"What shall be done for our Colleges?"—
an article dealing with the student mind
in regard to spiritual guidance. Your time
will be well spent in reading it.
Every page of The Plainsman is chock
full of good reading—did you know that?
The Plainsman is becoming more and
more original—and better.
The office of this publication is now
located in Auburn Printing Company,
having recently, been moved from the base­ment
of the boy's dormitory.
Next week your issue of The Plainsman
will be even better than this one.
THE PURPOSE OF STUDIES
In his essay on Studies, Francis Bacon
says: "Studies serve for delight, for orna­ment
and for ability. Their chief use for
delight is in privateness and retiring; for
ornament, is in discourse; and for ability
is in the judgment and disposition of busi­ness."
This last phrase expresses the main pur­pose
of our being in college, that is, to
learn to have individual judgment and to
be able to meet and to handle any situa­tion
that may present itself to us in our
business.
The old idea of study and learning was
to "store up" an indefinite amount of
knowledge regarding history, philosophy,
science and foreign languages. Then, the
title '"an educated man" or "scholar" was
given to him. His knowledge may have
covered this wide span but no practical use
was made of it either for himself or for
mankind in general.
Today the average college student en­ters
college with a course in mind. In
comparison with the vast fields covered
by our ancestors in their learning, the
course that the modern student selects is
very much narowed to a practical study.
However, even then when the college man
enters the business world he soon dis­covers
what a large field is covered by one
branch of Engineering, General Business
or whatever course he may have chosen.
What is the purpose of coming to col­lege
and studying? Is it to store up an
abundant amount of knowledge and never
make it practical?
On the contrary the student enters upon
his course to study the practical use of one
particular branch of science or general
business, according to the field to which
it leads. In such processes he learns to
meet situations, assume responsibility and
think clearly to the end.
I t ' i s indeed uplifting to realizing that
the world is not only advancing in material
gain, made posible by amazing discoveries
and inventions, but it is reaching for a
higher plane of mental existence where man
may learn to think for himself and reason
from a sound basis to logical conclusions.
NEW RESPONSIBILITIES
When we walk across the campus and
greet different friends as they pass, there
sometimes, comes to mind a realization of
the fact that a certain student has left a
vacancy in some activity on the campus.
Then follows the question "Will the one
who is now taking his plaqe meet the situa­tion
with the same capability?"
It is sometimes difficult to realize that
one's own class, that entered college at
seemingly such a short time ago, is now
reaching the end of its college days.
Memories of freshman days cling so stead­fastly
in our thought that we forget that
we are now being looked up to by the un­derclassmen
just as we tried to model our­selves
a few years ago by the members of
the upper classes.
It is most vital then that we assume the
different duties placed upon each of us in
our campus activities separately and as a
uniform class. The freshman invariably
depend upon us and we must offer to them
our best. Hereby we serve the institution
twofold: First, by making sacred its ho­nor
to the under-classmen, and, secondly,
by directly serving it ourselves by our ser­vices
as well as acquired honors.

THE GOOD WOMAN
The Good Woman, a new novel by the
winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Louis Brom-filed,
is the fourth of a series of novels
dealing with the Town, the Town being
a symbol of modern American life. It
is in no way to be taken as a sequel to the
other three, The Green Bay Tree, Posses­sion
and Early Autumn, but Mr. Bronfc-field
says, the four together might be pub­lished
as one, with the single title, Escape.
The Good Woman, published by Frederick
A. Stokes Company, New York, is primar­ily
the story of Emma Downes, but it is
also the story of the people with whom
she came in contact—whom she-dominated.
Emma Downes was a woman who had not
been born to be a clinging vine, but to
rule. She was a woman Who was always
right, always justified by the results of
her actions'! Her infallibility was largely
responsible for her husband's desertion;
she was too perfect for a shallow fop, con­stantly
in search of excitement. When her
husband did desert her, Emma Downes
might have asked support for herself and
child of her brother, but she told herself
that she* wouldn't because Elmer, the
brother had told her not to marry Downes
and would delight in saying, "I told you
so." The actual Teason that she would not,
as* for help, but bought a restaurant, was
that the restaurant would allow her an"
outlet for her desire to "manage." She
made a success of the restaurant; as Mr.
Bromfield paints her character to the
reader, it would only have been remark­able
had she failed.
When her son was grown and educated,
it was through her influence that he de­cided
to become a missionary. Before
starting to his work, he marries Naomi,
listed as the "youngest missionary of God
in blackest Africa," and one suspects that
that also is through the influence of his
mother.
The book opens then with Mrs. Downes,
Emma, a highly respected woman of the
Town. Independently wealthy through her
efforts with the restaurant, her husband's
desertion covered by a timely announce­ment—
made by herself—that he had died
in China a year after his departure to
make their fortune, prominent in the Mis­sionary
Society and ladies' clubs of the
town, she seems to have ample cause for
satisfaction with her life. She has just re­turned
from a meeting of the Missionary
Society, where she has read an old letter
from her son in Africa, to find that a new
letter has just arrived from him. Her first
though is that if the maid had not been
criminally careless she could have had that
letter to have read to her Society. You
see, Emma takes a great deal of glory to
herself in her Christian work, and is
proud of the fruits of her labors. But
after reading the letter she is glad that
it had not come to her so soon.
The letter says that her son, Phillip, is
on his way home—that he made a mistake
in the. choice of "his life work. What has
happened, the reader is shown, is that the
desire to become a missionary has been
only a boyish dream, or fancy, which had
been too highly encouraged by his mother.
When he had actually arrived, and gone
to work to build his mission, he had found
that the reality destroyed his ideal. He
loses his faith when they are attacked by
savages, and a mannish Englishwoman
proves herself to be a capable woman
while his wife is not equal to the situation.
The boy, Phillip, then feels a desire to re­turn,
to go anywhere out of Africa, but,
especially to go home to the Town, to be­come
a part of the ceaseless activity of the
Mills, which make the town wealthy, and
down in his heart and unexpressed, a de­sire
to learn to paint not only the Mills
but also at some time to return to Africa
and paint the savagery of the forest. His
wife returns with him in the hope of res­toring
his faith and desire to become a
missionary, feeling that Mrs. Downes will
be able to control him, and because Phillip
has a much stronger will than she. Her
downfall starts at this time, when she re­turned,
she.had not only the will of Phil­lip
to combat but also that of Mrs.
Downes. In the mission-she was supreme.
That was her life—the only one she un­derstood.
The faith of Phillip for his God is not
only gone, but is also beginning to wonder
if his mother can be always right. His
mother and uncle are unable to control him
longer. He renews his love for an old
childhood sweetheart and sees that he has
never loved his wife. His wife, in her ef­forts
to hold him, bears him twin child­ren.
The children he would love more if
they were not equally his wife's. Naomi,
the wife, overcome in the conflict between
the wills of Mrs. Downes and Phillip,
forms an attachment for Phillip's aunt.
The aunt'is an animal-like woman with an
obsession for gossip on matters pertain­ing
to the physical. She, Naomi, becomes
a dowdy woman whose reason for existence
has been removed with her return to the
Town. Finally, she takes up her old work
of singing in the choir, even though her
husband cannot be prevailed upon to re­turn
to his ministerial duties.
To the horror of the "Good Woman,"
Mrs. Downes, her son, Phillip gets a job
working in the Mills as a common laborer.
For once her ability to "manage" seems to
be overcome by the will of one who no
longer allows himself to be managed. She
begins to fear that she is growing old, but
a flirtation with a Congressman, Moses
Slada, shows her that is still attractive to
men. She decides to marry him but is
faced with 'another obstacle. What of her
first husband. Mrs. Lowndes knows that,
while she has spread the information that
her husband was a hero who died in China
While attempting to make a fortune for
the family, after all he had deserted her,
and she has no idea where he is, whether
alive or dead. Her brother, who is in
many ways like her, has the government
declare him officially dead.
In the Mills, her son is gradually work­ing
toward a new faith—a more virile faith
than his boyish idealism. It is there,
through work, that he finds peace, or
rather is beginning to find peace, for he
is not one who can be happy, when he be­comes
ill for weeks. When he recovers
there is a strike at the Mills, and he takes
the part of the workers against his own
people. He begins the study of painting.
Through his childhood sweetheart, Lily
Shane, a sinner indeed but with the power
of understanding which his mother lacks,
gives' him the use of a roo mover her
stable. At this time, Phillip feels that to
continue to live with his wife while in love
with another woman is unbearable; so he
establishes her in an apartment alone, going
there only to care for the children while
she goes to lead the choir. Of all. the
people with whom he comes in contact,
Lily Shane, in a few moments, seems to
come nearest to understanding Phillip, and
he feels a definite loss when she is gone.
As Mrs. Downes is working toward her
marriage with the Congressman, her hus­band
suddenly returns—from Australia,
not China. The husband does not seem to
fit in with the people, although his wife,
after the first shock, is very glad to see
him. Her old love for him awakens and
she desires him at her side'. Phillip, sus­pecting
that his father had deserted her,
is disgusted; and he feels little respect for
his father. The father is a little afraid'of
his son, but he tries to tell him that in
order to be happy they must both get away
from Mrs. Downes—Emma—good woman
though she is. Unable to be happy in the
Town for long, he soon returns to Aus­tralia,
where, he tells Phillip, he is living
with another woman, and has four grown
children.
The rest is briefly told. Naomi, Phil­lip's
wife, elopes with the pastor of their
church in a last despairing attempt to End
happiness, and the pastor and herself com­mit
suicide when they discover happiness
unattainable in such a fashion. Phillip
marries his childhood sweetheart and re­turns
to Africa to paint that beautiful sav­agery
which has haunted hi msince his re­turn.
He dies of fever, as he had been
warned he would, as he reaches the place.
He is one of those unfortunate people who
tie the happiness of many to him, and yet
finds happiness for himself unattainable
because he will not allow his mind to com­promise
with life. His sould, on earth, was
never at peace.
News comes to Mrs. Downes from the
Australian woman that her husband, he
could never be more that that around Mrs.
Downes, died on his return to Australia.
The Australian woman sends Mrs. Downes
a picture of herself, and their four children
in the letter. Mrs. Downes burns the pic­ture
in the same place in which years be­fore
she had burned the note left by her
husband in which he had told her that her
"goodness was to wearing."
The life of Mrs. Downes from that point
is very busy. She marries Slade and comes
to dominate him and his affairs. When the
War started she ruined her health in
speeches made all over the country. She
was excellent in Wa r work, speaking often
of her poor son who had died as a mission­ary
in blackest Africa, but who, she knew,
would be only too glad to enlist in the ser­vice.
She died of pneumonia during one
of her speeches.
Her life is summed up in a few words
from her funeral sermon. Quoting from
the book, "She never had any doubts. She
was, in brief, all that is meant when our
hearts lead us to say of some one, "She
was a good woman."
The book as a whole, is unquestionably
well written. The characters, individually,
are live people, who walk and talk natur­ally
throughout the book. One sees them
and their problems as they are meant to be
seen: Phillip struggling for the solution of
life, fighting against the domination of
his mother. The mother, the Good Woman
who is always right, but whose efforts be­come
fruitless because she lacks chairty
and understanding of humanity. Naomi
and the aunt .caught by wills too strong
for their own weak natures and dominated
always.
It seems to me, though, that the author
Auburn Footprints
A party of Auburn Students, with
"Buddy" Gerber at the wheel, was touring
from Auburn to Columbus last Saturday
evening. Gerber was taking in the beauti­ful
scenery along the highway when he sud­denly
found himself trying to straighten
6ut a curve /vith an automobile. We cer­tainly
gave him more credit thah we should
have for having some sense, and would sug­gest
that he go get some of these civil en-,
gineers here at school to flatten the curves
whenever he sees fits to change them.
Possibly, however, he thinks that a civil
engineer would do more harm than good,
and possibly he thinks rightly.
Geiger, Alabama, has lost a very valu­able
citizen. In some manner the ire of
said citizen was aroused to such an ex­tent
that the address was changed to the
metropolis of the state. (Just a minute
while I see whether or not I can find that
little city on a state map. I can't find it
so you will have to wait until next time
to find out where is is). Because Jackie
has the habit of saying 'hay' for 'hey', we
are led to believe that her ^hometown is
somewhere out in the great open spaces.
At a house meeting of the boys living in
the dormitory a few nights ago, "Rat"
Smith put forth a suggestion that a com­mittee
be appointed to push a petition to
have elevators put in the building, so that
after eating at the zoo the students would
be able to get to their rooms to study.
We have known Dan Sikes for several
years as a very hearty consumer of food,
but we have never known him to make a
habit of being the last one to leave the
table when there was nothing more to
eat. Dan seems to have found an attrac­tion
at his table going by the name of Lois.
As this is just a beginning of the compli-catory
affair, we feel guilty for having
mentioned the fact; however, we rest se­cure
in the belief that one never knows
when he is doing a good term.
"Sunshine" Worthington wishes to an­nounce
through this column that he has
Elec. Lab. on Friday afternoon and will
have to discontinue his heretofore exten­sive
tours throughout the state every week­end.
The many friends of "Sunshine" will
doubtless be glad to learn that this young
man has decided to abandon his wander­ing
around and settle down.
Auburn's greatest optimist is Locke Cam­eron.
Even though three fellows can tes­tify
that operating a car will keep one
broke for the school year and half of the
summer following, Locke says it will have
to be proved to him. The only thing we
can do is to mournfully shake our heads
at the inevitable result, at the same time
pointing out the harshness of experience as
a teacher.
The only difference between receiving
advice on the Auburn campus and arguing
with a signboard is that one cannot argue
with a signboard and hope for the best
of results, while one will not listen to any
kind of advice he receives.
The pleasant weather ought to pep up
the dances which are in the offing. After
a certain point has been reached, it doesn't
make any difference whether the weather
is hot or cold, for one or all is not thinking
anything about the atmospheric conditions
but rather about—well, never mind.

has tried too definitely to make his point
against what we mean when we say "a
good woman." As a character, the one
made of Emma Downes is strong, but he
fails to include any woman who is respect-ed
and loved in.her own community among
her own people for herself, and so leaves us
to draw the conclusion that he means his
indictment^to be against all women active
in the community; in fact he says so in
the dedication. This seems to be too
sweeping a charge.
There is also the incident of the elope­ment
of the pastor and Naomi, which is too
reminiscent of a recent newspaper scandal
to be in entire.good taste. He might have
spared us that.
The book is, as a whole, very much worth
while and worth reading—quite worthy of
the author.

By P. O. DAVIS
The Progressive Farmer has been
officially designated as a "Master
Magazine" for farm people. A certi­ficate
declaring it to be such was
awarded at a meeting of the entire
staff of the paper Friday by Prof.
L. N. Duncan.
The certificate was signed by Dr.
Spright Dowell as president of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, by
Dean M. J. Funchess of the College
of Agriculture, and by Dr. Duncan as
director of the extension division.
, In presenting it, Dr. Duncan gave
a historical sketch <if agricultural
developments and an analysis of ag­ricultural
conditions. He declared
that "in every forward agricultural
step in the South, The Progressive
Farmer has been in the front rank
as a leader among the leaders.
He said that this is the first and
only certificate of its kind ever pre­sented
by the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute. So far as available records
show, no other institution has made
such an award.
It refers to the "able, honest, in­telligent
and" courageous editorial
policy" of the paper through which
it has "rendered distinguished service
to the people of the South." For
these reasons the award was made.
The idea grew out of the Master
Farmer award made by The Progres­sive
Farmer in cooperation with the
College of Agriculture at Auburn this
year. The 10 best farmers of the
state were discovered, scored and
awarded Master Farmer certificates
at a banquet at Auburn for farm
people early in August.
Dr. Tait Butler, vice president of
The Progresive Farmer, received the
certificate, expresing a high appre­ciation
of the Progresive Farmer
staff. He declared the secret of the
success of the Progressive Farmer
has been its loyalty in serving fram-ers
and in cooperation with others
engaged in the same line of work.
The entire staff of the paper was
present, the presentation coming as
a surprise to them.

PROTECTION/
WITH the increasing use of electricity,
circuits are becoming larger and larger.
Only three or four years ago, a 2,000 or 3,000
ampere breaker-was considered "good size."
Now we think nothing of building a 6,000 or
8,000 ampere 3 pole Circuit Breaker with all
the I-T-E features.
Currents of this magnitude need the very best
possible form of protection, because a short
circuit of 100,000 amperes is a possible oc­currence.
In fact, a "short" may attain a peak
of twice that, and then some!
Ask any Consulting or Electrical Engineer
what I-T-E Circuit Breakers are. He knows
them intimately. He no doubt specifies them
on all his installations. He knows there is no
type of electrical protective device that does a
better job—consistently, and at less money.

Frosh Hard at Work Preparing
For Their First Game Saturday
Freshman football practice is now
in full swing, with Coach Brown
grooming his cohorts for the coming
game with the Howard Bullpups on
the campus here Saturday. The
The freshmen are showing up real
well in scrimmage. Several good
prospects have been noted in the
scrimmage sessions. The rats seem
to have several good heavy linesmen
and some fast, driving backs. On
last Tuesday afternoon the frosh
showed up extremely -well in a scrim­mage
session with the varsity. While
of course they were not given the ball
to try their offense, their efforts to
stop the varsity backs looked good.
On Tuesday afternoon the rodent
team also had a scrimmage with the
Auburn Hi team. Here they really
.showed the stuff they are made of,
and tore through the Hi school line
seemingly at will. On offense the
line opened up large holes through
which the various backfield men
sped.
Wednesdy afternoon some more of
the rats went up on the hill to fur­nish
some oposition to the varsity
some mighty neat players. They
will probably have a light scrimmage
Thursday, and devote Friday to run­ning
signals and getting their plays
in order for the game Saturday af­ternoon.
Meanwhile on Friday after­noon
Harry Fox will carry some of
the second string men over to Nota-sulga
to engage in battle with Hard
Boy Pruitt's high school team. This
should turn out to be an interesting
scrap, as rumor has it that the Nota-sulga
team is heavy, with plenty of
experience, nd should be hard to beat.
But go to it, rats.
The Freshmen have been pretty
lucky in regard to injuries. Only
one or two have been injured badly.
Armstrong, a promising guard, had
his leg hurt Wednesday in scrimmage
when taking his man out of the play.
It will probably be a week or two be­fore
he is back on the field. Har-kins,
brother of Red Harkins, hurt
his arm this week when he fell on it.
He should be able to get in the game
Saturday, however.
The frosh punting staff looks good.
Sullivan, a half, McLesky and Chamb-liss,
quarters, have been getting off
some beautiful kicks. In the passing
game Winn and McLeskly are show­ing
up good. Sullivan is fast and
is good on end runs. He can pick a
hole and go through it. Shanks and
Summerville can both rip a line to
pieces on a line buck. Shanks is a
half, and Sonimerville is a good bet
at full. Wingo, Winn, and Malone
are also showing up good at the half­back
position. Dempsey is another
promising fullback. Wood will most
likely start at quarter in the coming
game, but he is closely followed by
McLesly and Chambliss. Several
ends of seeming ability are fightingjt
out, among these are Bearden, Wingo
Brown, Stein, Culpeper, Griffin, and
Smith. Taylor, Newton and Jacobs
look good at tackle. The list of guards
includes Herron, Dreaden, Sheehan,
and Hill. Frazier, Christopher and
Harkins are fighting it out for cen­ter.
The outlook for the coming season
is very promising. If no injuries oc­cur
the above squad of men, supple­mented
by many others, should live up
to expectations and play real old Au­burn
football—winning football.
For a tentative line-up for Satur­day's
game this writer picks the fol­lowing
team. Of course an entirely
different team may go on the field
when the opening whistle blows, but
these fellows will more than likely
see more or less action in the affray.

RUPERT INGRAM
Ingram is /starting his second year
on the varsity at the end position.
Although he was a few days late re­turning
to the Tiger camp, he is in
good condition and is ready to start
the season off right.
This husky lad hails from We-tumpka,
where he played four years
of football, basketball, and baseball
at the Wetumpka High School. When
he came to "Auburn, he had no trouble
in making the Rat team, playing full­back
and end. He also made the
Freshman basketball and baseball
teams, being a pitcher on the latter
team.
Last year "King David" put Ru­pert
on end, where he became known
all over the South, even though it
was his first year on the varsity.
Many times he broke through the
line and got the man who was trying
to carry the ball. And speaking of
catching passes, that was another of
Ingram's accomplishments. In the
Tech game, especially, he combined
his blocking, tackling,,; and catching
passes, and turned out a game that is
not to be forgotten soon.
Then there is another accomplish­ment
that Rupert has. This is his
ability to boot the old pig-skin. He
is called back often to stickhis educat­ed
toe into the ball. His placement
kicks are rarely ever beaten.
When it came time to pick the all-
Southern team last year, Rupert re­ceived
several mentions for this great
honor. We are behind you, Rupert,
and feed that you will make it this
year.
Ingram is a Junior this .year, and
is a member t)f tha. Pi Kappa Phi
fraternity.
In The Enemy Gamps
MERRITT BURNS
Merritt Burns, whose countenance
is seen above, is known on the grid­iron
as being a r.eal gentleman. He
puts plenty of power behind every
tackle, but plays a clean game. He
does* not wait for the man to come to
him with the ball, but drives in and
tackles before he has a chance to get
to the line of scrimmage.
Burns comes to Auburn from Mont-gomery.
He played two years of foot­ball
at Sindney Lanier. He won his
numeral on the Freshman team here
at Auburn, holding down one of the
guard positions. During his Sopho­more
year, he made the squad and
went on all the trips with the team,
but did not play in enough games to
get the coveted "A."
Last year Merritt came back fight­ing
hard, and made for himself a
regular berth on the team. He was
one of the most valuable men with
the Tigers, having been mentioned
by Spaulding as one of the outstand­ing
players in the United States dur­ing
the season of 1926.
In the Tulane game Burns was in
his prime. Time after time he would
block the Greenies interference and
was the cause of them losing much
ground. Everyone realized, after
seeing this game, that Burns had the
pluck and fight of an all-American
player. .
He is not only known on the foot­ball
field, but is known all over the
campus, and is admired by all. Ee
always has a smile and pleasant word
for everyone.
Lets go Merritt.
FLORIDA
The University of Florida was
held to a 26 to 7 score by Southern
College at Gainesville, Saturday. This
was the first game of the season for
the 'Gators, and it was a surprise to
see Southern hold them to such a
score.
Almost all of the ground gained
by Florida was by short passes and
long end runs.
The heavier Florida line met with
considerable opposition up until the
last quarter, when Southern's- line
failed to function so well.
Crabtree, the 'Gator quarterback,
got away on a 67-yeard run for
touchdown in the last period. This
was the most sensational play of the
game. He scored again on a pass.
L. S. U.
Mike Donahue's L. S. U. Tigers
swamped the Louisana Poly outfit
at the Tiger stadium in Baton Rouge
in the first game of the season. Al­though
the Tigers did not score in
the fii>t quarter, they came back in
the remaining three and scored 44
points to the opponents 0.
L. P. I. gained more ground than
L. S. U. in the first quarter, but after
this, they were outclassed by L. S. U.,
who made 23 first downs while Tech
did not make any.
At the beginning of the second
quarter, Donahue's aggregation start­ed
an aerial attack, with two passes,
from Godfrey to Holden. Then God­frey
and Haynes hit the line, and
Haynes went around end for the re­maining
13 yards for touchdown.
Haynes was the star of the day,
for he made four of the touchdowns.
Many times he gained yardage for the
Tigers. He sprinted 52 yards for the
second score of the game.
The other scores were made by
Captain Godfrey, McCann and Phelps.
All of the try for points after touch­downs
went wild except one it being
kicked by Nelson.
Several long runs were made dur­ing
the game by Bailey, Stovall, and
McCann.
Tigers Drop First
Game of Season
To Stetson College
Fumble Responsible for Plainsmen's
First Defeat on Home Field
Since 1908
It took the cooperative effort of a
worthy foe to accomplish last Satur­day
what other foes for twenty years
have failed to do—humble Auburn on
her home field. The Stetson Hatters,
'of Stetson University, met and defeat­ed
the Tigers of the Auburn plains
by a score of 6 to 0. Dr. B. B. Ross,
authority on Auburn foootball history
stated after the game that it was 19
long years ago since the Tigers had
suffered defeat by a college team
on the Auburn campus. It seems
that L. S. U., who defeated the
Plainsmen in 1908, before the ma­jority
of the Auburn Student body
were born, came~sver to the Auburn
campus and handed out a 10 to 2 de­feat
to the Auburn gridders.
The game started with Ingram kick­ing
off for Auburn. He kicked to
Stetson's 21 yard line to Freeman,
Stetson half, who returned 10 yards.
An exchange of punts followed, with
Capt. Bernard, quarterback, kicking
for Stetson and Ellis kicking for Au­burn.
Both lads cashed in some good
yardage" with their toe work. The
first quarter ended with neither team
threatening seriously.
Soon after the second period open­ed
the Stetson lads began to show
their metal. After receiving a kick
Freeman sprinted 25 yards and was
stopped from a trip over the goal
line by the timely tackling of Fisher.
Here the Floridians suffered a 015-
yard penalty. A pass, Smith to Well-singer,
netted two yards, and a pass
Smith to Freeman, netted 18 yards
and Freeman put the ball on Au­burn's
10 yard line. The tenacious
tackling of Tom Shotts here staved
off a touchdown for the visitors. Mr.
Freeman sneaked over center for five
yards, then a half yard, and the ball
was lost to Auburn on downs on Au-burns
four-yard line.
As the second half started Auburn
presented the same line-up as at the
beginning of the game with the excep­tion
of Pearce for P. J. Carter. Here
the Plainsmen really showed some
HOWARD
Howard College easily overcame
Spring Hill in her opening game at
Mobile Saturday. The count at the
end of the fracas was 37 to 0.
Although the game seemed one sided,
the Baptists had to fight for every
bit of ground.
Billy Bancroft was the star of the
day, giving the crowds many thrills
by his exhibition of open field run­ning.
In the third quarter he caught
a short pass, and ran through Spring
Hill's team, 80 yards for touchdown.
McEvoy, Spring Hill's captain, was
a very brilliant player. On one kick-off
he caught the ball and ran 75
yards before being stopped. Many
times he hit the line for substantial
gains.
Howard's team worked together in
a fine way. On every play they look­ed
like a seasoned team. The line
and the backfield Worked together in
perfect unison. One would not think
that this was Howards first game.
There was a punting contest in the
first period between McEvoy and
Bancroft. McEvoy was able to get
off his punts with more skill than
Bancroft, and gained more yardage
than his opponent: ~
In the fourth quarter both teams
tried several passes, but neither were
successful in gaining anything on
them, for the majority were grounded.
The backfield for Howard was
Captain Bancroft, quarter, Bradley
and Harris, halves, and Van Bus-kirt,
full; Burns went in later and
played a good game.
The Bulldogs only kicked one goal
for the extra point.
Tulane, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and
Mississippi A. & M. did not open up
last week, but are practicing hard in
order to be ready for the opening
tilts this weekend. We have heard
rumors from these training camps
that there is much material on hand,
and that these teams will be very
strong in the Southern Conference
this year. These will be four of our
strongest opponents this year.
Georgia Tech plays V. M. I. this
week in Atlanta. Although V. M. I.
has a strong team this year, she will
have a hard" time beating Tech on the
Golden Tornado's own field.
The University of Georgia will
clash with the University of Virginia
in Athens Saturday. We imagine
this will be a good game, for Geor­gia
has several dependable players
back this season.
Tulane plays 'Ole Miss at New
Orleans, and Mississippi A. & M.
plays Birmingham Southern at
Staxkville.

drive and it was whispered through
the stands that Coach Morey had per­haps
told the lads .a thing or two.
Fisher and Ellis were alternating in
some real attractive thrusts into
Stetson territory. These fellows with
an occasional buck by Tom Shotts,
rushed the ball to Stetson's 20 yard
line when Ellis failed with a place
kick, the ball barely missing the up­rights.
In the later minutes of the
third quarter Stetson with the able
work of Bernard and Smith in the
backfield, hustled the oval to Au­burn's
10-yard stripe, where Capt.
Bernard attempted a place to no
avail.
But it was in the fateful fourth
period that history was made. Au­burn
got possession of the ball on her
own 47 yard line. A pass, Fisher to
Ingram, netted 15 yards. Fisher
again passed to Burns for a gain of
8 yards. Buclc Ellis went through
center for 8 yards more. Another
pass to Ellis placed the ball on Stet­son's
5-yard line. Ellis went over
tackle for two more yards. Auburn
fumbled and turned what was ap­parent
victory into a writhing defeat.
Chester Freeman, fleet-footed half
on the Stetson eleven, scooped up
the oval, and surrounded by a line of
interference raced 96 yards for a
touchdown. Capt. Bernard failed at
the one point accumulation. Auburn
received and made a desperate ef­fort
to stave off defeat but the time
was too nearly gone and the score
stod six to nothing.
Auburn showed some real strength
two or three times but lack of con­sistency
was costly. The soore sheets
show the Plainsmen made 13 first
downs to Stetson's 7, but in the pass­ing
game Stetson tried eight, com­pleting
four, while Auburn tried
eight and completed two. Auburn
received four penalties for a total of
forty yards nd Stetson erred twice,
each time receiving a penalty of 15
yards for holding.
The victors brought a good team
to Auburn. They were well coached
and had plerfty of weight. They were
led by Capt. Young Bernard at quar­ter,
who played a great game, as did

Untimely fumbles smothered other
chances the Tigers had to score. Lack
of coordination in the Auburn back-field
and the failure of the line to
function smoothly gave a hint of
what is yet to be done in developing
a first class team. The work of Mer­ritt
Burns at end and Fisher, Snyder
and Ellis were outstanding for the
Tigers. Capt. Pop Paterson played
a good game as usual.

Pens by Boosters
All of the Varsity Football men
that reported for jobs on Kind Da­vid's
1927 grid-iron eleven were
awarded fountain pens this past week
by the Cromer Artcraft Pen Company
of Birmingham. These pens were
sent to the players through the Tiger

athletes. Each pen is in orange and
blue and has the players name on it
in gold letters. As "Goat" SmUh
turned in the list of names, it was
imperative that the lads nick-names
be stamped on the pens in place of
their given names.
On behalf Of the players, we take
pleasure in thanking the Artcraft Pe.i
Company for their loyal support and
generosity and trust that we will be
worthy of same.
THANKS SAM!
The officers of the Y.M.C.A. and
the student body wish to thank Sam
Mosley, "Y" secretary, for the new
"Flash Sign" for the Y.M.C.A.
This sign is the personal gift of
Mr. Mosley, and is quite an added
attraction, and also aid in letting
the students, and also visitors, know
where the "Y" is located.
Remember that Auburn is not the
only college but she is your alma
mater. Support her and uphold her
time honored traditions with every
fiber of your being. Then in after
years you will be proud of the fact
that you were an Auburn man and
ever shall be.
All of us have relatives we don't

Notes of the Societies
A. S. C. E.
The A. S. Ci E. met Monday night,
Sept. 26 for the second time this
year. The program consisted of a
number of interesting discussions.
Mr. C. Thompson of the Junior Class
gave a discusison on The Organiza­tion
of Building Construction. He
mentioned several ways in which to
save money in buying material and
at the same time acquiring the best
quality.
Mr. McRae, also of the Junior
class, talked on The Reconstruction
of the Roof of the White House. He
told of the several plans offered
by the different contractors and of
the one accepted which was the build­ing
of a temporary roof over the
entire structure and beneath this, re­construct
the present one.
Mr. P. A. Stevens, of the Senior
class perhaps offered the most inter­esting
discussion of the evening. His
subject was The Causes of Corro-gation
on Trafficbound Surface
Roads.
Professor Callan talked on a sug­gestion
that Freshmen and Sopho­mores
be allowed to join the Society
and receive credit for it. This sug­gestion
was thoroughly discussed and
finally voted upon. It met with the
hearty approval of the Society and
now all Freshmen and Sophomores
taking Highway Engineering are eli­gible
for membership into the society.
To bring Freshmen and Sopho­mores
into'the society as Junior and
associate members, Sections 1 and
2 Article 4 of the constitution had
to be revised. This was done in
proper order.

"Let Football Alone," was the sub­ject

is not by the numer of games won,
nor by the number of games lost,
but how we play the game that real­ly
counts," said he. "Boys should be
able to get some real fun out of Foot­ball,
but as it is in most cases, they
have only a few hours of practice
each day. It takes constant practice
and it should not be arranged for
practice only, but for some fun also.
A football man must be trained to be
in his own place at the right time,
for it will certainly count against you
if you are not." He concluded by

True to tradition and past records,
the meeting of the Wilsonian literary
society Tuesday evening was char­acterized
by pep and enthusiasm.
Camp Life at Fort Benning was
discussed by E. G. Salter, who had
at his command an abundance of
first hand information concerning
the subject. According to Mr. Sal­ter,
"It is a great life if you don't
weaken."
The Co-ed as the Hope of Liberal
Education was presented to the so­ciety
by Miss Lois Wells. "A few
years ago," Miss Wells said, "the
co-ed was considered a fickle minded
creature whose aim in life was look­ing
pretty. She went to college to
find a husband because she had fail­ed
to find one back in the old home
town.
"But to-day," Miss Wells continued,
"ideas concerning the co-ed have
changed. Psychological tests show
that she is better material for edu­cation
than the average college man.
The woman who attends college to­day
is striving to develop individua­lity
and liberal views."
Other subjects discussed were,

press and more among ourselves, we
will do a great deal better.
Mr. Taylor gave us some very spicy
jokes which were enjoyed by all.
Miss Mathews talked on Interna*
tionalism in the Films, telling why the
American movie must watch its step.
"Our films have become an interna­tional
affair and it is necessary to
turn out moving pictures that will
offend no nationality and ones that
can be marketed in any corner of the
world."
Miss Fletcher gave a very interest­ing
talk on "What Lindbergh has
done for us. "Lindbergh has not only
done one of the most heroic things
that a young man can do, but he has
shown to the world that the youth of
today is capable of accomplishing a
great many things that have ^always
seemed impossible to some for them
to accomplish. *
We were very glad to have with
us on this occasion Miss Leland Coop-zx
who was a student in the institu­tion
several years ago. She talked
on the different changes since she
was a student, and especially the
changes in the literary society. She
happened at the time of her student's
work here to be a member of the Web­sterian
Literary Society, although she
said that she did not know that her
name was on the roll, since all the
girls in those days were counted as
honorary members, and could not at­tend
the regular meetings, but only
on special occasions. Miss Cooper's
talk was very interesting, and we
hope that Miss Cooper will visit us
again. s
After the program was rendered,
a short business meeting was held,
after which the society adjourned. A
very interesting program is being
planned for next Tuesday night, and
we hope that every non-society stu­dent
will come out. We need you
and you need us. Come!
WIRT
The Wirt Literary Society had as
its guest for the second meeting of
this year, Professor Daughrity, of the
English Department. He explained
the procedure of the annual declama­tion,
debating and oratorical contests
and asked that everyone interested
to participate in the try-outs, the
time of which will be announced
later.
Amond the other speakers were H.
J. Christensen, who took as his sub­ject,
"Triumphs and Tragedies of
Aviation," and C. T. Thompson, who
gave us some very interesting facts
about the Chicago Movie Strike..
"Where the Public Always Wins"
was the subject of Roy Sellers, who
very ablely presented illustrations
that demonstrated the truth in his
subject.
The Wirt welcomes all new mem­bers,
and extends an invitation to all
that will join.

SOCIAL SCIENCE
The second meeting of the Social
Science Club was held Monday Night
at seven o'clock. President DeVaughn
opened the meeting with a short talk
in which he welcomed the large at­tendance
and praised the members
for their enthusiasm.
Charles Moore gave an interesting
alk on "The recent appointment of
Dwignt W. Morrow as American Am
Yi-.sador to Mexico, and its signific­ance."
This was particularly inter-
:-.ting due to the present relations
exkjjarig between Mexico and thc
United States. He intimated that
friendlier relationship between the
two nations would be established, as
Ambassador Morrow is known to have
Interest in Mexico, and also to favor
peaceful measures.
Professor Herrin gave a short ad
dress to the Club. He told of in­creased
library facilities that would
be made possible for economic stu
dents, and read Barron's Weekly Fi­nancial
Report. The report revealed
figures on stocks and bonds, the
trend of certain industries, and pre­dictions
of future markets and prices.
Professor William England also gave
the club some valuable points.
A marked increase was noted in
the attendance, and it is hoped that
this will continue. Committees have
been appointed to investigate dire
needs of the college. which the club
migh render service to ,and a general
progressive and active policy outlined
for the ensuing year. All students
interested in joining a live-wire club,
getting some additional quality
points and at the same time doing a
great good are urged to come to the
meeting next Monday evening at
seven o'clock.
You ought to see my girl. Boy she
is superlative.

MEN'S STUDENT
COUNCIL HAVE
FEAST AT CAFE
On the night of September 25,
the members of the Men's Student
Council gathered together at the Col­lege
Cafe for what turned out to be
one of the most enjoyable feasts
that could be produced in Auburn.
It seems however that one member,
Mr. Davis of the Sophomore class
could not enjoy the feed as well as
the others. Being a new member
he was afraid that he was host of the
occasion. He seemed very much
relieved however when he was in­formed
that he was guest of honor.
The main topic of discussion cen­tered
around the late arrival of Bill
Hurt. Bill said that his lateness was
due to a social call in Tuskegee. The
other members were divided between
the two opinions that Bill was either
doing some heavy skieking down in
the Normal School town, or that he
was down there in the interest of
a proposed chapter of some Frater­nity
that he is very anxious to see
established on their campus. Porter
Carol says that the Lambda Chi have
them sewed up 'down there. Any­way
Bill was late and admitted hav­ing
been to Tuskegee.
The Greeks who run the College
Cafe were very much discouraged
when so many of their customers
came to the door, took one look in
and then went on to 'Uncle' Bill's.
Many seemed/ anxious to enter the
Cafe but after seeing the Student
Council in full force they rapidly
changed their minds and took leave
of the Cafe. The Council will have
to refrain form going to the Cafe in
full force, as it would mean almost
sudden ruin to the Cafe if they should
go very often.
The council wishes to thank Por­ter
Carol for his earnest efforts in
preparing the menu. Mr. Porter
was steward of the feast and showed
marked ability along that line.
Those enjoying the feast were;
T. H. Pearce, president, W. C. Hurt,
R. O. Lile, F. O. Miller, J. L. Hart-selle,
1 P. L. Hassler, Porter Carol, W.
G. Granger, and C. F. Davis.
DR. MORPHET
SPEAKS TO RATS
AT C0NV0. TUES.
Speaking before the Freshman class
at convocation Tuesday, Dr. Morphet,
of the school of education and ex­tension
teaching, enumerated the
number of common sense ideas
about religion, philosophy and sci­ence.
Beginning with the early
days of religion and philosophy, when
science was still to be distinguished
from philosophy, Dr. Morphet dealt
with the development of these three
institutions and their attitude toward
each others progress and improve­ment.
The speaker made clear the fact
that there is no real cause for dif­ferences
between religion, science
or philosophy for they are all striv­ing
to work for the same ideals.
Citing examples to clinch his points
Dr. Morphet clearly explained how
philosophy, science and religion work­ing
hand in hand produce an un­beatable
combination yet when striv­ing
at counter points are dangerous
individuals.
In a conclusion which neatly sum­med
up the substance of his talk he
stated that Americans of today are
letting science dictate where religion
should at least contribute.

MOREY'S TIGERS TO FACE
STRONG CONFERENCE FOE
(Continued from Page 1.)
byterians have succeeded in defeating
the Tigers for the past few years.
And during the final minutes of play
the Cody lads uncorked a passing
attack that would have put over a
touchdown had not the whistle saved
the day for their opponents. We
have much to fear from the ex-Vandy
flash and his cohorts.
A familiar face under the name of
1 "Bud" Eskew will be the main stay
on the opponents crew. Bud has
visited the Plains several times as a
football and basketball player. But
this time, it will be Captain Eskew,
Quarter-back. The other three lead­ing
back-field stars all hail from
Columbia High and run in the follow­ing
order: McCarley and Mouledous
as half-backs and Bob McCarley, full­back.
Bob is a brother to the half­back
who carries an ante-name,
"Stick." The most promising subs in
, the backfield are: Hane, Davis, Rog­ers
and Pitts. According to Josh,
himself, his front wall will be one
for any team to be proud of. The
tackles are big, husky and plenty
fast, the ends are experienced and
fast, but the guards are the cause of
the real enthusiasm. With five
strong candidates out for the posi­tions
flanking center, the coaches
have an awful task deciding just
which one out-classes the other. All
the above men were given a chance
to prove their metal in the opening
tilt and proved to be even more p r o i n ^ M c C a r l e y ) halves; Bob McCarley,
ising than was expected. And Cody
now is banking on but one game,
Auburn!
That summarizes the spirit up in
South Carolina but these old football
games work two ways and can't work
favorably both directions. It looks
mighty bad for the enthusiastic fol­lowers
of the Clemson Tigers. Au­burn
has triumphed over the rival
Tiger eleven, fourteen times in the
last fifteen games and the extra
game resulted in a nothing to nothing
affair back in 1923. That is a record
that is hard to beat and one that is
likely to be increased in a very few
days. As far as points are concerned,
Auburn has an enormous lead, having
won the majority of the games by
a margin of three or four touch­downs.
.Before the last fifteen games,
the Clemson and Auburn teams were
rated as the very best in the South
and up to 1906 had about an even
here, the Clemsonites lost control
while the Plainmen ran wild.
The line up for the Morey men will
be1 practically the exact same. The
line will be identical and the back-field
will likewise be as before with
the possible addition of another quar­ter-
back. With Luke Ward, fast
stepping Frosh candidate back on his
feet, it is probable that he will don
the Auburn colors under the guise
of a varsity player for the first time
and sing out the different plays as a
regular.
As things now look at the "Fairest
Villege of the Plains," the opposing
lineups should be about even in avoir­dupois.
The opposing line-ups are:
Timmerman, Pedgettearsoi.-taMorey
Clemson: Timmerman, Padgett,
ends; Swafford, Davis, guards; Hall,
Robinson, tackles; Pressley, center;
Eskew, Rogers, quarters; Mouldeous,

No matter how heavy a program you carry,

Guaranteed to write—not for this school term
merely, or until the four-year ferind is done
—but forever, as lon& as you live. It is the pen
that spends the most days in the writing hand and
the least in repair shops. It costs more because

exposures. In this way it will be pro­tected
from the cold north winds and
will receive the full benefit of the
sun at all times of the day. There
are four separate entrances to the
building, one on each side, beside the
basement enerance. These five en­trances
should indeed prove a dirt
saver because one can enter almost
any room downstairs from the out­side
and will not have to leave dirty
footprints all over the rugs and floor
in trying to get to a certain room.
The downstairs consists of a living
room, dining room, breakfast room,
sun parlor, kitchen, butler's pantry,
and coat closet. The upstairs has
three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a
sleeping porch, and linen closet.
Each bedroom is on a corner with the
exception of one large one which ex­tends
all the way across the south
side. This room has a private bath,
the two smaller ones having one in
between them. All the bedrooms
are provided with ample closet space
which is almost an absolute necessity
in this day and time. The house has
hardwood floors throughout except­ing
the bathroom floors which are
tile. In the Vasement, which extends
under half the building, is a shower,
plenty of storage space, and the heat­ing
plant.
