Kiwanians Ask Basket-
Bail Men As Honor
Guests
BAND TO MEET ROGERS
Balcony Reserved For Students
Tickets $1.00 Each
The Auburn basketball team which
lost the championship of the South
by the narrow margin of one point
will be the honored guests of the Ki
wanis Club of Auburn at the Will
Rogers entertainment, Saturday night,
March 3, beginning at 8:30 in the
Alumni gymnasium. The team and
Coach Papke will be seated in a sec­tion
reserved for people of fame,
among them being Governor and Mrs.
Bibb Graves and others who have
achieved fame in one way or another.
An invitation to the basketball
team to be the guests of the Kiwanis
Club on this auspicious occasion has
been extended by Capt. B. C. Ander­son,
president of the club, and Em-mett
Sizemore, who is directing the
sale of tickets. If the program will
permit, Mr. Rogers will get a thrill
and catch a vision of the famous Au­burn
spirit by the. performance of
students on that occasion.
A tentative plan is to meet Mr.
Rogers at the railway station with the
Auburn band, and to stage a few
unique stunts so that he will not for­get
his first visit to the "loveliest vil­lage
of the -plains." As representa­tives
of the Student body the Blue Key
honor society is cooperating with the
Kiwanis Club in arranging for his
reception. The object is for Auburn
to entertain his while he entertains
Auburn.
Announcement has been made by
Mr. Sizemore that reserved seats are
about all sold. Student tickets in the
balcony are being sold at a special
price of $1.00, the former price being
$1.60. The reduction in price was made
because of interest in the students.
The entire balcony is being reserved
for them. It is expected that all re­served
seats of $2.00 each will be sold
before Mr. .Rogers arrives Auburn.
The $2.50 tickets were sold out ten
days ago.
AUDIENCE JUDGES
FLORIDA DEBATES
First Varsity Debate To Be Held
March IS
The University of Florida-Auburn
Debate, next Thursday night, March
15, will be judged by the audience.
This is the English system of render­ing
debate decisions, and is something
of a novelty in this country. In a
few schools, however, it has been
tried with great success. The sub­ject
for the debate, "Resolved, that the
United States should cease to protect
by armed force capital invested in
foreign lands except after formal de­claration
of war," is of international
and immediate interest and import­ance.
Every thinking student should
attend this debate. Such extra-curri­cular
activity can certainly be classed
as part of the educative process.
CHI OMEGA'S TAKE
IN EIGHT PLEDGES
Initiation of Pledges Held During the
Past Week
The Auburn chapter of the Chi
Omega, national sorority, initiated
its pledges during the past week. Be­ginning
last Saturday the pledges
have been sent to the cemetery, been
speechless or dumb, carried bricks,
and done various other queer stunts
for girls. Maybe they needed the
bricks to protect themselves on the
campus but there has been no report
of anyone getting hurt.
Misses Evelyn Henry, Ruth Mur­ray,
Odelle Stewart, Patricia Askew,
Bernice McMillan, Grace Pinnell,
Evelyn Meadows, and Inez Shepard
are the pledges being initiated. The
initiations will end Saturday night.

Girls To Hear Representatives of
Honor Fraternities
Every girl should be interested in
knowing the honorary organizations
on this campus of which she may be-come
a member.
Chi Delta Phi, the honorary Liter­ary
Sorority, is sponsoring an open
meeting of all the honorary organiza­tions
on Friday afternoon, March 2,
from B to 6 o'clock.
Each group will have a representa­tive

Plans For Next
Summer Session
Are Announced
Auburn's sixteenth summer session
is td include a more extensive pro­gram
than ever before, it was an­nounced
recently by Dean Zebulon
Judd, director of the summer quarter.
Special emphasis is to be given gradu­ate
work for experienced teachers,
principals and superintendents work­ing
for higher degrees and the exten­sion
of all types of teachers certific­ates.
The courses offered will meet the
extension requirements of prenormal
certificates, class A. elementary certi­ficates.
The class A. and B. certi­ficates
in administration and super­vision,
and the A. and B. secondary
professional certificates including
special certificates in home economics,
agriculture, and manual training.
The summer faculty will include a
number of distinguished teachers and
educators from other states. Begin­ning
June 4 and continuing until
August 13, the instruction will meet
the needs of students taking any
'collegte courses both graduate and
undergraduates. The summer's work
will be divided into two terms, the
first ending July 13 and the last
beginning July 16.
A model high school will be in ses­sion
to provide instruction for sec­ondary
school students who are ir­regular
in their courses or who wish
to complete the college entrance re­quirements.
This model school will
also serve as a demonstration school
for those who are preparing to teach.
More than 1000 students enrolled in
the 1927 summer session and from
the last several years* the attendance
has been steadily gaining. Indications
predict that the enrollment this year
will show a decided increase.
Anyone desiring information about
the summer school is asked to corres­pond
directly with Dean Judd.
Big Reception For
Rogers Is Planned
The biggest reception accorded any
president, king, queen, potentate, or
private citizen so far as Auburn is
concerned will be accorded Will
Rogers when he arrives Auburn on
the two o'clock train from Montgom­ery,
Saturday afternoon, March 3.
And every student in Auburn is
wanted at the station at 1:30 in order
to "get set" for the big affair. The
public in general is wanted but it is
highly important to have "every
mother's son" among the students.
Without doubt it will be one of the
big events in the affairs of Auburn-past,
present, future. Don't forget
the place and the date, the hour
especially. Be there!

Present Home Sold To Tau Omega
Chi Fraternity
The Pi K A's are proceeding with
plans whereby they expect to have a
new home on Fraternity Row ready
for occupation by next September.
The plans are being drawn by War­ren,
Knight and Davis, prominent
Birmingham architects. Final ar­rangement
as to the style of architec­ture
has not as yet been definitely
decided upon, but will probably be
similar to that of the present houses
on the Row. The construction is ex­pected
to begin in June.
The present Pi K A house has been

not been definitely decided but with
the cooperation of the students this
magazine should be a success.
BLACKWELL FOR
FRATERNITIES
President of Randolph-Macon Favors
Greek Societies
Dr. R. E. Blackwell, president of
Randolph-Macon college, who attend­ed
the convention of the educational
association of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, is a believer in college
fraternities.
"Enemies of frats.say they're un­democratic,"
he said. "They are. They
say they are expensive. They are.
They say they foster snobbishness,
and cliques among students. They do.
But even with all that, they do a lot
of good. Many fraternities bring up
scholarship standards. Many of them
require a far higher grade as-* pre­requisite
of initiation than the uni­versity
requires as a requisite for a
student remaining in school."
Dr. Blackwell said that "if we did
not have fraternities we must remem­ber
we would have cliques and snob­bishness
just the same."
He planned to give his views on
fraternities to the convention.

TWELVE STUDENTS
'BAMA DISMISSED
Honor System Violators Must Leave
School
Twelve students at the University
of Alabama have been dismissed from
the institution since the beginning of
the present session in September, ac­cording
to Robert Hill, secretary-treasurer
of the student body. Those
students were "shipped" after being
found guilty of dishonesty or "crib­bing"
on examinations.
Of the students dismissed, three
cheated on mathematics examinations,
three in foreign language classes, two
in English classes, two in biology
classes and one each in a political
science and geography class. Breaches
of the honor system are punishable
by dismissal from the university for
the next semester and the losing of
credits for the semester in which the
misdemeanor was discovered.
With visiting Kiwanians from
Montgomery, Birmingham, Opelika,
Alexander City, Tuscaloosa, Gadsden
and Fairfield present, the Kiwanis
Club of Auburn received its charter
Tuesday night. It was presented by
District Governor James A. Ander­son
of Tuscaloosa, and received on
behalf of the club by Capt. B. C.
Anderson, president. A banquet,
music and addresses accompanied the
charter presentation, which took
place in Smith Hall, the college dor­mitory.
A dance in the alumni gym­nasium
followed.
The Kiwanis Club of Opelika, seven
miles from Auburn, was in charge of
the program, being the sponsor club.
Reid B. Barnes, president of the Ope­lika
Club was toastmaster. Visitors
were welcomed to Auburn "by Dr. B.
F. Thomas. Special musicians for
the exercises were Mrs. James A. An­derson,
of Tuscaloosa; Mrs. B. L.
Noojin, of Gadsden; Mrs. W. C. Giles,
Mrs. K K. Lowe, Miss Lucile Frazer,
Miss Estelle Butler and Miss Ruth
Murphree, of Opelika.
Among the distinguished Kiwanians
present to witness the official char­tering
of the thirtieth Kiwanis Club
of the state were Erskine Ramsay, of
Birmingham, past district governor,
and B. L. Noojin, Gadsden, present
lieutenant-governor for this district.

Friday night, March 9, marks the
first of the season's series of inter­collegiate
debates on the campus. This
first debate deserves marked atten­tion
in that it sets a precedent for in­tercollegiate
debates in that all mem­bers
of both teams will be Freshmen.
Birmingham-Southern will send down
two first year men to match wits with
a couple of Auburn Rats. A question
of national and immediate interest
will be debated, that of the soundness
of the American policy in Nicaraugua.
The University of Florida will en­gage
Auburn in a Varsity Debate on
the campus, March 15, and the Fresh­men
will again appear, March 23, in
a dual debate with Howard, the two
contests occurring simultaneously,
one on the campus and one in Bir-mongham.
Auburn's traveling teams
go west to Mississippi and east to
Florida this season. Mercer will de­bate
on Auburn's campus later in the
season.

FORMER STUDENT
AWARDED MEDAL
Father of Dead Hero Will Receive
Award
William A. McAllister, Jr., a for­mer
Georgia Tech student, who lost
his life on June 11, 1926, in an un­successful
effort to save his small
cousin from drowning, was awarded
a Carnegie Hero Medal recently by
the Carnegie Commission in Pitts­burgh,
Pa. The medal will be pre­sented
to his father, William *A. Mc­Allister,
Sr., of Fort Gaines.
Shortly after the tragedy, Con­gressman
C. R. Crisp, of Americus,
Ga., recognizing in William McAllis­ter's
action a deed of unusual heroism,
presented the facts to the Carnegie
Hero Commission and was thus in­strumental
in securing the award.
"The Whole Town's Talking" was
presented by the Auburn Players,
Thursday night, February 23, at
Langdon Hall. This play was a com­edy
which was presented several sea­sons
ago in New York, with moderate
success; Grant Mitchell playing the
leading role.
This was a very creditable per­formance.
Charles Moore and Proc­tor
were admirably cast, and took full
advantage of every opportunity to get
over their humor to the audience.
Proctor deserves double credit, for
his was the most difficult part, and
almost all of Moore's comedy depend­ed
on Proctor's "feeding."
Beth Seibold, with a rather diffi­cult
part, measured up to expecta­tions.
Catherine Hare played her
part remarkably well, but we would
like to see Miss Hare cast in a part
which would force her to be someone
other than Miss Hare. The Lettye
Lythe part was somewhat miscast,
although Grace Pinnell displayed his­trionic
ability which under other cir­cumstances
should prove satisfactory.
The rest of the cast did remark­ably
well, also.
All in all, the fair sized audience
seemed fully repaid for its evening
out, and critically speaking, "The
Whole Town's Talking," with the
possible exception of "Cabbages and
a Queen" is the best production of the
Auburn Players in the past four
years.
A , PING PONGTOEET IS
WON BY WILLIAMS
Second Prize Awarded To Cecil
Stowe
The Ping Pong tournament, staged
by the Y. M. C. A., has ended and the
prizes have been awarded. The first
prize, a $6 pair of shoes given by
J. W.* Wright Dry Goods Co., was
awarded to S. A. Williams, the high
winner in the contest. The second
prize, a $3 box of candy, was given to
Cecil Stowe by Homer Wright Drug
Store. The first semi-finalist prize—
$1.50 worth of trade at "The Barber"
was given to A. B. Johnson, and the
second semi-finalist p r i z e—$1.50
worth of trade at the Varsity Shoe
Shop, was given to James Nunn.
Much interest was manifested in the
tournament, and the "Y" is hoping
that the students will continue to pa­tronize
the ping pong tables.
By Max E. Kahn
Coach Mike Papke's "Fighting
Tigers" have returned to the campus
after making a remarkable showing
in the S. I. C. tourney just passed.
Auburn was the tournament favorite
before any team entered the list.
Then—a one point victory over the
Clemson Tigers removed all doubt
from sports writers minds but that
the Plainsman had been over-rated.
Saturday night, Tech entered the
court as the pre game winner against
the Tigers, but another one point vic­tory
gave the Plainsman another
chance. After a rest over Sunday,
A. & M. was conceded a 2 to I ad­vantage
over the Auburnites, but—
again the sports writers were all wet,
so to speak. The Monday game was
a relief to the scribes, however, for
they knew that the Auburn Tigers
were not over-rated. And, after main­taining
a good lead over the 'ole Miss
ere win the final game, the Tigers
were upset by a single point and the
1928 Championship went to the Ox­ford
lads.
A. P. I.—Clemson
In the first Auburn game, Josh
Cody's Clemson Tigers furnished the
opposition and such opposition. The
entire game was nip and tuck. Au­burn
started off playing her usual
game but only for a few minutes.
Clemson was in her fighting togs and
displayed a brand of courage and
headwork that was hard to beat. Akin
was consistent on the scoring end of
the Tigers bill with Frank DuBose
contributing quite a bit. Buck was a
bit off on his shots but made up for
it in his agility. On the guarding
end, Ebb and Fob took the pill out of
the Clemsonites hands times after
time. But despite all the Tigers
could do, the boys from South Caro­line
were leading the Villagers by four
points as the half ended.
The second half was very much
like the first up to the last five
minutes. Clemson maintained her
lead and the team scored about the
same number of points for the first
part of this half. Ebb James was
having a time watching his hands as
he had three fouls called on him and
another would send him to the bench.
Then—a spurt—two fast, neat, and
true shots and the Tigers once-more
were on an even basis with the Cody
five. With only a few minutes to
play Ebb went out on excessive fouls
and Mullins replaced him. Then, the
crucial shot, and Auburn took the .
lead, kept it and was pronounced the
victor as the final gong sounded, the
score being, Auburn, 27; Clemson, 26.
Tech—Auburn, Quarter-Finals
After the close call the Auburnites
experienced in the initial fray and the
marvelous showing the Atlantaians
made against the 'Gator quintet, the
Techsters were conceded the edge
over the Alabamaians. As the open­ing
whistle blew, Auburn shot to the
lead. After about five minutes of
dribbling, fighting for the ball, pass­ing
and shooting, Papke's quintet had
gained a 11-2 lead. Tech called time
out here and must have framed some­thing,
for she took the lead away
from the Orange and Blue before
another point was scored by them.
The closing minutes of the first half
found both teams playing strictly de­fensive
ball and as the half ended,
Tech led, 15-14.
Round two: Auburn, and Tech. No
soap for Auburn and Tech increased
her lead to four points in the first
five minutes. Buck Ellis, had lost
his shooting eye and Coach Papke de­cided
to take a big chance. Out comes
Buck and Mullins substitutes- for him.
After sitting on the bench for four
or five minutes and only five minutes
to go, Coach sent 'Ellis back into the
game. Strategy proved the best here,

The Auburn Glee Club under the cap­able
direction of P. R. Bidez will appear
in concert at Auburn Tuesday March thir­teenth
in a "Lucky Day" program. The
organization this year is new throughout
with no semblance to the old except in
quality. Without a doubt the club this
season is the best that has ever represented
the college on the concert stage. The pro­gram
is a well arranged and perfectly bal­anced
one containing a number of solos
and glees that' are sure to please the most
exacting audience. The managers and di­rector
are to be congratulated for their
worthwhile accomplisments.
It is too bad that the final score did not
prove the superiority of our team Tuesday
night in the final battle for the Southern
Conference basketball crown. A.defeat of
one point lingers in one's memory and
points to that which might have been. This
is*an outstanding example of one of those
bitter disappointments that come to most
of us even at the peak of our careers. The
onward sweep of the Plainsman quintet is
still incomparable and those who witnessed
the conflict will never forget how we play­ed
the game! Our hats are off to the win­ners
yet we would not forget ourselves.
Our best to Auburn!
During the past three years we have seen
the Auburn Engineer evolve from a stu­dent's
dream into one of the leading tech­nical
publications in the country. A close
inspection of a representative group of
similar magazines will convince one that
the Auburn Engineer is among the best.
This is somewhat remarkable considering
the fact that this magazine was founded
within the memory of many of the present
student body. It requires considerable
work and ability on the part of the pub­lishers
to mould and improve a publica­tion.
Both the editorial and business
staffs deserve commendation for we feel
that the success that has rewarded their
efforts is in no small way placing Auburn
in the- forefront in higher technical edu­cation..
A LITERARY MAGAZINE
A new venture is about to be launched
at Auburn. The idea of a magazine of
original writing by students has been in
process of formation for a considerable
length of time. At present what appears to
be a realization of a dream is about to take
place.
It is felt that there is a definite place
for such a publication on the campus in
order to give a means of expression to
those possessing literary ability. There
are a number of embryonic writers of no
little literary talents on the campus who
have little encouragement. By the creation
of a medium of expression it is hoped that
the potential writers will be developed, thus
creating a literary and scholarly atmos­phere.
Auburn being primarily a technical in­stitution
there has been heretofore little
emphasis laid on writing. Even the honor
literary societies have failed to stress or
encourage writing. By giving their en­tire
attention to public speaking .the foren­sic
honor fraternities have overlooked a
field of literary endeavor that is equally
as important as speaking. For this rea­son
there should be a definite place for a
magazine of this type.
Writing requires reading^ and study and
is closely related to speaking. This ensem­ble,
Bacon tells us, if followed religiously
makes the well rounded man. The student
who is acquiring a technical education will
find that there can be nothing so valuable
to him in his professional career as a know­ledge
of the language and the masterly use
of the mother tongue in speaking and
writing" which involves reading understand­ing^.
English therefore is of prime im­portance
to the college graduate for often
it means the difference between a job and
a position.
Elsewhere in this paper the reader will
find an article dealing more fully with this
new publication. Special attention is called
to the contest for a suitable title for the
magazine. Material should be in the hands
of Professor Daughrity not later than
March twentieth.
It is to be hoped that the student body
will lend their support to the new venture
and help make the publication as deserving
of high praise as the institution which it
will eventually represent.
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
Don't you remember in the long ago,
How - you carried her books through the
wind and the snow
To the little white schoolhouse far back on
the hill, /
How you taught her to skate on the pond
by the mill—
Your little sister?
Oh! do you remember, though the years
have flown,
And your little sister is nearly grown,
And you would fight any time to protect
her name
From every breath of shadow and stain—
Your little sister?
And that comrade of yours, the other day,
He came to you in a mirthful way
And whispered a tale that made you laugh;
For she was only a maid of the fallen class,
But she was somebody's sister.
For "boys will be boys," is what you
thought,,
And didn't remember what you were taught,
Because to you it only meant
That all your chivalry should be spent,
On your own little sister!
So the world lies crushed 'neath its weight
.of woe,
And e'ver and always it will be so,
Till men shall learn to protect from snares,
Somebody's sister as well as theirs.
Be they laborers weary or ladies grand,
'Tis ever the same in every land,
There is someone who loves and honors
them,
Amid the rush and greed of men,
Someone, who calls them "sister."
MEDITATIONS
ON THIS AND THAT
<&3 lupiter </. Tluuius
"What can be done about it?" The fore­going
question is the unanswered conclusion
to the leading editorial in the February
Auburn Engineer. I wish to congratulate
the editor of the Engineer on the editorial,
entitled How Many Keys. It is one more
voice in the wilderness of the campus, raised
in protest against an evil which all of us
recognize, but which none of us know how
to combat, namely, the superabundance of
honor societies on the campus. Its wide­spread
presence makes it an important
question, regardless of the local conditions,
which are of growing importance. The
answer to the question will be forthcoming
only when sufficient interest has been
aroused in it and its evils have been shown
plainly to the students. As a means to
that end, let us have more such editorials.
* * * * *
Another editorial in the Engineer, cap­tioned
Reading, appealed to me in a favor­able
manner. The plea for more extra-curricula
reading on the part of engineer­ing
students is a timely one, and is a well-founded
one. The conventional excuse men­tioned
by the editorial writer, the lack of
time, would sound better if one didn't see
the heavy trade in Bernarr MacFadden's
various publications which goes on, at the
drug stores.

Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.

Tarnished with rust,
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust.

She hardly knew
She was a woman, so
Sweetly she grew.

She is at rest.

All my life's burjed here,

AUBURN FOOTPRINTS
We wondered why all the skirts collected
on the corners of the streets while the
band was in Mobile until several disclosed
the fact that the attraction was the hand­some
leader of the Auburn Band. He was
the center of attraction for the fair repres­entatives
of the Bay City. No wonder the
band is becoming a poular part of the Mardi
Gras festivities since the ladies have been
given the right to vote.
One of the outstanding events of the
was disclosed when it was discovered that
Moreland G. Smith, who happens, by the
way, to be somewhat of a prominent figure
in campus activities, has set a precedent in
architectural circles by buying a new suit.
We don't want to predict any commotion
but at the present time we are afraid that
the architectural political machine is going
on the rocks as the rest of the architec­tural
students cannot follow the precedent
set.
The question of the age: How does Au­burn
manage to turn out so many good ho­boes?
The Freshman class, judging from
the number of rats that honored the rail­way,
seems to be one of the most efficient
in the above mentioned respect that has ever
represented Auburn.
Traffic was held up for five minutes at
East Point when the train stopped and the
students alighted.
The story of Washington at Valley Forge
did not have anything on the determined
group of fellows who waited on the out­skirts
of Atlanta. The fires along the rail­road
represented camp fires.
The train stopped at regular intervals
so the boys could get off and get warm.
Fairly good service considering the short
notice.
"Nosedive" Hines has just returned from
a short trip to Athens. As usual women
proved that they could do anything. Poor
Nosedive!
Marrying is getting to be a fad among
Auburn students. Wonder what is going
to happen next. A dormitory will have to
be built to house married couples. We'll
wager that the averages of the dark-eyed
students aren't increasing any. But that's
to be expected.
We have just discovered that when one
wants to ruin his' reputation all he has to
do is to get hooked up with another honor­ary
fraternity. The habit of joining one is
getting to be a plague.
There is at least one man in Auburn who
has sympathy for the financially embar­rassed
student. Dr. Ross displayed his
philanthropic nature recently by contribut­ing
to a distressed student who approached
him displaying two pennies in an open
palm. After much searching through sev­eral
pockets the three requested pennies
were produced and an ice cream cone was
ordered. Remember Moreland, be careful
when asking for money when a member of
the Plainsman staff is to be benefitted.
You're liable to be left out—and how?
With the Greek
Let us create such a spirit in our chap­ters
and our fraternities that the mental
drone cannot survive, that every man will
count it as a test of his loyalty to his chap­ter
to perform every task as well as he
has it in him to do. Let us prove to the
world at large that when college-trained
men are needed in any emergency, the best
will be found in the ranks of our frater­nities.

Book Review
GALLIONS REACH
By H. M. Tomlinson
The one note most often struck in H. M.
Tomlinson's latest book is calm serenity ~of
mind before the elemental forces of man's
life. It is the peace of mind of one who
achieves his desire to leave the artificial
existence of modern civilization for a more
fitting background to his own understand­ing
of the essence of existence. The es­sence
of existence is in the development of
man's nature to the fullest without com­promise
; the objects toward which he works
serve only as means by which he may ac­complish
the greater end. Man becomes
admirable when he is able to live by the
measure he has set regardless of fears
and expediency.
By this I do not mean that Colet, the
bank clerk, embarks on any wild search for
thrills. His detachment is such that the
safety of an Oriental porcelain is import­ant
even when about to surrender-himself
to the law. It is only by chance that he
allows hinfself to escape the seargreen
jungles of the tropics. The mind of Colet
is at rest. Life comes along; he catches
its strands as they pass, and weaves the
fabric in such a manner as to show that he
has had little to do with its fashioning. He
lives (observes would possibly be better)
life in the ultimate in three long*cenes, and
then returns to expiate his sin at the hands
of the law.
The first scene is that of shipwreck. En­during
privations of the small boat through
days of drifting, his mind is occupied in
admiration of the captain who went down
and the sailors who can suffer. The second
is that of the jungle. Enduring all the
agnoy of the jungle to discover a tin mine,
he leaves it to his companion in order to
pilot a child-like scientist through an un­known
region. The Occidental god of suc­cess
is immaterial; the Oriental serenity
in struggling existence gives life. Life,
the mere living, is also of secondary im­portance,
as he must return to face the
powers of that period when he existed in
order to be free in mind to live.
The prose of Gallions Reach is a succes­sion
of images interspersed rarely with bits
of conversation, but, dominating all, an
undercurrent of poetic melody a»w!?tTiytnm
attuned to the emotions at the moment, its
subconscious beat persistent and harmoni­ous.
Its current surges'and recedes through­out,
whether in the midst of the storm or
the fastnesses of tropical, murky jungles.
Gallions Reach should be read as an ex­ample
of the best of modern prose, depend­ing
less and less upon the excitement of
narration, placing more and more reliance
upon the mind.

Dear Bill,
Last nite I had the thrill of my life,
when I heard you in your second
birthday anniversary program. You
probably knew that Pete (Mclntyre)
and I are on an island in the heart
of the Everglades, eight miles from
the nearest road, so you can imagine
our greatest pleasure in hearing you.
We picked you up while calling the
Fla-Auburn game, and I got it so
plain and clear that in my excitement
I thought that I would "fall out of the
balcony of the Gym," and more than
once I detected the odor of the sweat
shirts of the players. Later the

sacred tune of "Old Glory" made my
heart stand still. I heard you use
the good name of Florida in vain—or
some real estate gossip, that you had
1700 boys there, poor boys but good
boys, and the very pleasing, "Auburn
38, Fla. 29."
I often think of the best of days
when you and I were blowing in the
famous Auburn Band, and live them
over again.
Pete and I are well pleased and
working hard. Give my best to all
of the friends and congratulations on
the fine announcing.
Sincerely,
Jim Naftel.
Here't to you Pete and Jim and
hoping that you will hear many times
during the baseball season that the
Tigers are still coming out with their
share of the long end of the scores.

Fraternity basketball can help the
college team in the same manner that
class football helps the football team
but at present the teams are hurting
the college teams by disturbing their
practices each afternoon and night.
This is a hindrance to the teams' pro­gress
and we should stop it. Coop­erate
with your teams and find other
times to practice.

The leaders of Boys Clubs in Ala­bama
have set out to double the 1927
enrollment of 6401 boys during 1928.
Reports so far indicate that all previ­ous
records will be broken in 1928 by
more than doubling the 1927 total.
Macon County clubs had a rally
early in February with 131 boys
present. Almost all counties will have
spring rallies before May.
Dale County has the record for
county enrollment with 650 boys doing
active club work. Mr. G. W. Ray is
county agent in Dale, and is leader
of all club activities there.
Second place goes to Coffee Coun­ty
with 450 boys enrolled .under the
leadership of W. M. Ray, county
agent, who is a brother to the Dale
county agent, both are graduates of
Auburn.
H. M. Lewis, county agent of El­more
County, has attained third place
for his county with 286 boys enrolled.
Fayette County, with 286 boys en­rolled,
comes fourth due to the ef­forts
of J. C. Ford, county agent.
Many other counties report 150 or
more boys enrolled. The total for the
state for the year can not be esti­mated
as many counties are still re­porting
enrollment of boys.
Since cotton is the staple crop of
the' state we would expect that to be
the most popular among the boys in
the Clubs. In 1927 the boys planting
cotton numbered 1627, and they pro­duced
1627 bales of cotton on 1627
acres of land. This, is the highest
average known within the history of
club work in Alabama. The state
average is about one-fourth to one-third
bale per acre. This made a net
profit of $87.07 per boy. All of these
boys followed the "Auburn Plan" of
fertilization of their cotton.
Corn is the next most popular ac­tivity.
An average of 42 bushels per
acre was attained by the corn club
boys. The state average is about 15
bushels per acre, again about one
third the average for the club boys.
With a total production of $35,-130
worth of hogs in 1927, the pig clubs
rank third in popularity. Many other
proects are undertaken in the boys
club work.
A total of $272,105 worth of farm
products were made in 1927 by Ala­bama
Club Boys. This was a net
profit of $49 per boy.

Powell, the father of Prof. P. P.
Powell, asociate professor of chem­istry
here. Mr. Powell died here at
2:10 Tuesday morning, February 13,
after an illness of over a year. Fun­eral
services were held from the home
of Prof. Powell Tuesday at 3 o'clock
after which Professor and Mrs. Powell
and Miss Elizabeth Powell accom­panied
the remains to Yantly, Ala.,
where burial took place at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning.
Mr. Powell is survived by three sons

Phi Gamma Delta
Holds Initiation
The Phi Delta Gamma national pro­fessional
Forensic Fraternity held its
annual initiation on Tuesday, Feb.
14th. The men that were initiated
were as follows: S. S. Tatum, George
Stafford, J. E. Walsh and A. V.
Blankenship.
The purpose of this fraternity is to
get men who have made good in their
studies and have a serious interest in
their school work.
When they pledge a man they take |
in consideration his scholastic aver­age,
his popularity on the campus,
character, social standing, and lead­ership.
The fraternity has about fif­teen
active student chapters.
National Championship
In Ideas Is Probable
Dr. Harold de Wolf Fuller editor
of New York, a magazine of ideas for
the general reader sponsored by New
York University, quotes the late Pro­fessor
Royce of Harvard as saying
that the only immoral element at an
intercollegiate football match is the
audience. Commenting that the
shrewdness of this remark comes
home to alumni, Doctor Fuller says:
"Partisanship by alumni is under­standable.
It is human and, in spite
of a modicum of the immoral, is whole­some.
And now it has been augment­ed
by the general public, which falls
under the spell of vivid and excellent
newspaper accounts of contests and
forms emphatic judgments.
"It is a phenomenon upon which
college authorities might build. Sup­pose
that institutions of higher learn­ing
could get alumni and the general
public as wrought up over ideas as
they become over football games;
This is not an impossible goal. An
idea is the.most exciting thing in life.
Witness the wars and the peace which
ideas have made. Witness the con­trasting
colossuses, Lenin and Mus­solini,
who mounted to eminence on
ideas. But to come nearer to the
and literati once had the devoted fol­lowing
which football coaches and col­lege
teams have today. When Eras­mus
made the tour of great Euro­pean
cities, it was ideas, not football,
which stirred the world.
"Our civilization since the war of­fers
similar opportunities. Religion
is in a state of flux. Moral values
are witing for revaluation. Modern
problems of government turn up anew
the whole question of political philo­sophy.
Society is looking for a guide.
The chance for a university to gain
violent adherents in all these spheres -
is inviting. A national 'champion­ship'
in ideas would be something new
subject in hand, university professors and something to be envied."

Have You Had
Yours Today?
The John Fritz Gold Medal, the
most coveted award bestowed by the
engineering profession in this coun­try
has been voted this year to Gen­eral
John J. Carty, Vice President of
the American Telephone and Tele­graph
Company and is credited by
the Engineering Foundation with
having "done more than any other
man toward the development of mod­ern
telephone engineering." The
award, announced on October 25th,
was made unanimously by a board
of sixteen representatives of Ameri­can
Societies of Civil, Mining, and
Mechanical and Electrical Engineers.
The medal, bestowed for the tweny-fourth
time, is a memorial to the late
John Fritz of Bethlehem, Pa., long a
leader in American iron and steel in­dustry.
It will be presented to Gen­eral
Carty in February.
General Carty, who lives in New
York City, was born in Cambridge,
Mass., on April 14th, 1861. He enter­ed
the army during the war as a Ma­jor
in the Signal Corps and saw much
active service in France. He won
promotion and succeeded in reaching
the rank of Brigadier General. He
was a member of General Pershing's
staff and was responsible for some of
the finest lines of. communications
that any army ever had in the zone of
operations.

Defeated by Fast
Columbus Quintet
G e o r g i a n s S t a g e Big R a l l y In
S e c o n d H a l f t o W in
By C. T. Ingersoll
The Auburn Co-ed Dribblers lost
to the fast Columbus Girls Club of
Columbus, Georgia, Saturday night on
the Alumni Gym court. The count
was 30 to 19. Auburn played hard,
and outplayed the Columbus girls in
the first half, but Miss Revels came
back and did some fancy shooting to
"bring her team into the lead.
The Auburn lasses made some
pretty plays in the first half, and
had the score 11 to 9 when this period
ended. They showed that they had
been practicing a good deal, and have
been receiving some good coaching.
In the last part of the game the
Georgians staged a great come-back
with Miss Revels taking the offense.
She began to find the basket, and
readily made use of it. She is one
of the best forwards that has appear­ed
on the local court this year, and
made some beautiful shots without
much effort. She had the advantage
over almost of the Tigeresses in that
her height gave her more access to
the basket than the local girls had.
She made a grand total of 22 points,
which in itself' was enough. to beat
Auburn.
Miss Thigpen played an outstanding
game at guard for Columbus, and
gave the Co-ed forwards plenty of
trouble when the ball was in her ter­ritory.
Misses Tucker and Haupt were the
local luminaries, the former making
eight points while the latter rang up
nine. Their floorwork was excellent,
and they got some nice shots.
Misses Creel and Price played an
aggressive game at guard positions.
They fought from start to finish,
which shows that even the fair sex at
the "Village" play the game for all
there is in it.
The Columbus team made one sub­stitution,
while Auburn kept her same
team in during the whole game.
Allen was referee of the tilt.

FROM THE SIDELINES
By Max E. Kahn .,
Hawkins
After the 'ole Miss game, Dick
Hawkins of the Constitution remark­ed
that the game was a fine example
of a fighting team winning from a
better team.
Twins
Ed Dahforth of the Atlanta Geor­gian,
termed the_finals of the 1928
tourney, the "tournament of twins."
Cary and Ary Phillips of 'ole Miss
and Ebb and Fob James of Auburn,
being the four reasons.
DuBose
Morgan Blake picked Frank Du­Bose
as the individual star of the
Tiger-Aggie fray for quite a few
reasons. He claims that Frankie ob­tained
the tip-off nearly every time
and even when he was not directly
involved in the jumping.
Buck
Buck Ellis played tne best game of
his life against the Aggies, according
to Blake of the Journal, •• He was de­tailed
to take care of the key man
of the Aggie attack and he not only
did this to a queen's taste, but man­aged
to drop in a flock of goals at
crucial moments to assist Akin at the
job of scoring.
Jelly
From every sport writer of any
paper an exclamation of this sort wae
heard every time Jelly Akin shot a
goal. "He's without a doubt the best
shot ever entered in this tourna­ment.'
Ebb and Fob
Butler of the Atlanta Journal
thought that Fob James was to be
soft meat since he had heard of his
escapade in the movies. After the
Tech game, he asked a friend if it
was possible for one man to have so
much fight in him. And when asked
who he was speaking of, he pointed
to Ebb, then to Fob and scratched his
head and said "either."
Defense
Glenn Allen declared that the
Tigers had the best defense of any
team to appear on the floor. Consid­ering
the way the boys held down*
such sharpshooters as Cary Phillips
and Halliday of 'ole Miss and A. & M.
respectively, it is easy to imagine his
grounds for opinion.
Papke
After the first game, a warning of
this nature was published: Tech had
better watch her step in the Tiger
fray tonight. The Plainsmen didn't
look so hot last night and Tech should
win, but Coach Mike Papke is just
BASKET-BALL TEAM RETURNS
FROM ATLANTA TOURNAMENT
(Continued from Page 1.)
Ellis had recovered any error he had
before possessed and in rapid suc­cession
dropped in two field goals
from the edge of the court before the
Yellow Jackets could tell for sure that
he was back in the game. Then a
few minutes of passing with the score
tied. A break, Akin fouled Goldin of
Tech and with a minute to play Gold­in
made a single free try as good as
gold. Fifty seconds to play. DuBose
is in the air, gets the tip-off, Ebb
James get the ball, dribbles two, three,
four times down the right side of
the court and without a tremble drops
ball through the basket without
touching the rim. Again, DuBose
does his best at center but Tech lands
the pill, Player has it, dribbles and
as he gets to the center takes a long
shot, the whistle blows as the ball is
in mid-air and the shot is no.good
when the ball hits the rim and rolls
out. The Auburn Tigers enter the
semi-finals, under-dogs, over-rated
and a so-called, lucky crew,—by
sports writers.
Semi-Final-—Aggies Vs. Auburn
After the showing displayed in the
first two games, the Plaiilsmen, were
dreaded. A team that can win two
games by a total of two points it not
a very easy opponent. But, the Miss­issippi
Aggies had given the Vir­ginians
a classy show-up in their
second round and were even picked
as the most likely champions; hence,
the A. & M. crew were considered a
2 to 1 shot against Mike Papke's
quintet. The other side of the story
was different. Coach Papke gave
his boys plenty of time to rest and
Monday found them fresh and free.
Still, they were tired in one concep­tion,
that of one point decisions.
Recall those mid-season games on
the campus and you have a mental
picture of this game. The Aggies were
unable to make their systemized sub­marine
attack work against the
guarding of Akin, Ellis, OuBose, Ebb
and Fob James. Five guards and as
many forwards. The "Fighting
Tigers were in form once more and
the crowd looked on with amazement.
They wondered who woke the boys
up—and if they would stay awake.
The Mississippi crew just couldn't
work in to take a crip shot, however,
their long shots were true and only
a couple were missed during the half.
Exactly one crip shot was worked in
by the Aggie five in this half.
The fray was a complete change—
for the Auburnites. Their usual form
was in vogue and Ellis, Akin, and Du­Bose
were counting for points every
minutes. Ebb and Fob were working
like demons, altho Ebb went out in
the second half, due to his sickness.
Mullins again came into the show and
played the remainder of the game.
Auburn had hit her stride and the
scribes had a second thought coming
to them. The end of this tilt found
Auburn eight points in the lead, 42-34.
Championship—'Ole Miss Vs. Auburn
And now for the big show—the real
genuine thing and the Papke machine
all primed and polished for a grand
and glorious finish. Gee! It was a
wonderful game, despite the results.
A moral victory may not give you the
gold medals but both teams can't win.
Anyway, anyone can have his own
opinion as to the best team in the
Conference and I sure have mine, not
for away either.
A repetition of the Aggie fray
seemed to be in the air. Auburn was
set to go. Akin made the impossible
shots as well as easy ones. DuBose
obtained the tip-off, Ellis covered his
man like a bathing suit and those
James twins were sitting in clover.
smart enough to pull a couple of un-looked
for tricks that will give the
tilt to his lads. Well that statement
proved true. Coach Mike pulled Buck
out of the game right after the start
of the second half and sent him back
at a most crucial moment; four
minutes' to play and four points be­hind
Tech. Buck dropped in two
sure shots from the edge of tne court.
Mr. J. V. Brown
Among those present at the court-side
itself was J. V. Brown. Mr.
Brown was right there the entire
time and as the Tigers took a neat
lead in the final game, the old Au-burnite
couldn't hold t his spirit in
check any longer; his hat fairly sail­ed
in the air. And while on the sub­ject
of Mr. J. V. Brown; I wish to
thank him on behalf of the numerous
students that journey to Atlanta for
the many ways in which he endeav­ored
to help them out; such as ob­taining
a special student cheering sec­tion
and several other things that
need notjae mentioned." '
A. & W. P. R. R.
Thanks! That's a neat word and
and should be user quite often. Well,
in behalf of the "hobo" club, I wish
to thank the Atlanta & West Point
Route R. R. for the special that en­abled
the A. P. I. students to get to
the Gate City in time for the game.
Also for the delightful trip back to
Auburn.
$3,000 Shot
After the Tech fray, Doonan, Steg-eman
and Alexander, the big boys that
put on the show each year, declared
that the shot that Ebb James made
from the center of the floor with a
minute to play cost the association
only three thousand bones. See, it's
like this! If Tech had have remained
in the tourney, the Atlanta attend­ants
would have increased quite a
bit. Well, we're sorry—financially,
speaking.
Most Courageous Player
Horace C. Renegar of the Atlanta
Journal and Associated Press, has
decided to pick the most courageous
player. Here's his exact report. "Per­haps
the most courageous player of
the tournament, however, was little
Ebb James, Plainsman guard, who
played through the entire tourney
sick. He had to retire several times
becoming too weak to continue play,
but when he was in the game he was
clearly an inspiration to his team­mates.
During the first half, Auburn held
slightly to the defensive game. And
as the result was limiting the 'ole Miss
crew to two field goals for the half.
As the half ended, the Tigers led, 15
to 8.
During the first five minutes of the
second section of this thrilling tilt,
Auburn kept up her previous pace
and increased her lead to twelve
points, leading the Hazel lads, 25-13,
with only ten minutes to go. But,
Ebb again had three fouls on him and
had to let up a bit. Fob had his share
of fouls and DuBose, Akin and Ellis
had contributed several chances to the
Mississippians by the foul shot route.
Siowly, surely, and gamely the 'ole
Miss lads fought on. They cut the
lead down to ten, then to eight, then
six ancf four. Another goal for the!
Auburn five sent the lead back to six.
Then another for the Oxford lads,
and another. One for the Tigers.
Before another minute had passed,
two quick field goals knotted the score.
Then, two free shots for 'ole Miss and
Ebb out on excessive fouls. Mullins
replaced Ebb and the score went to
31-29 favor the Oxford crew as both
free throws were made good. Two
minutes to go. 'Ole Miss conceded
DuBose a free throw on fouls. Du­Bose
made the one shot good. Another
toss up and Mullins grabbed the ball,
took a long chance, the gun shooting
as the pill left his hand, but—the shot
was a bit off. Score 31-30. All hail
the 1928 Champions—'ole Miss.
Review
A bitter dose, yes, but think again.
Our team is our pride! - Fellows, this
writer is just as proud of them as
if they had beat every team encoun­tered
by two dozen points. If there
was ever a better, smoother, cleaner,
snappier quintet than Mike Papke's
in 1928 I would like to meet them.
But, that's impossible. Each player
put aside all personal pride or hopes
and played for the best of the entire
squad. That is the true spirit. In
my mind, they're the moral champs
CAPTAIN EBB JAMES
By C. T. Ingersoll
Here we have Ebb James, who is
Captain of our baseball team this
season, and he is most worthy of this
great honor. All who have seen Ebb
in action on the diamond know the
brand of ball that he plays, so we are
expecting great things from him
when baseball season gets under full
sway.
This is the third year that James
has been our varsity catcher. He very
seldom misses the ball, and has a peg
that just won't let a man steal from
first to second, for he puts the ball
right on the bag. Ebb is also defath
on tagging a man out at home, pro­vided
the ball was thrown anywhere
within his reach. He backs up both
the first baseman and the third base­man.
Not only is James a wonder when
the Tigers are in the field, but he is
also good at swinging a wicked bat.
Last year he got some beautiful hits
during the season.
"Keep up the good work, Ebb."

Atlanta Journals All-Southern
The four sports writers of the At­lanta
Journal got together after the
game Tuesday night and framed up
a team that they claim would be un­beatable.
Two Auburn players are
on the list and three 'Ole Miss. Here's
the composite line-up:
Jelly Akin (Auburn) forward
Cary Phillips ('ole Miss) forward
and Captain
Frank DuBose (Auburn) center
Ary Phillips ('ole Miss) guard
Laird ('ole Miss) guard.
Support—Students
The student support at the tourna­ment
was superb. The cheering ran
very funny in the entire tourney.
Only the handful of Auburn students
were for the Tigers during the Clem­son
game. Against the Yellow
Jackets, the mob was divided 2 to 3
in favor of the Jackets. Against the
Aggies, half and half during the first
half and all for Auburn during the
last five minutes. And in the final
tilt. The crowd didn't rate at all.
They could have all been for the Ox­ford
crew for over a thousand loyal
Auburn supporters were on hand to
lend their aid under the leadership
of Charlie Dudley. That 'ole Auburn
spirit just can't be beat and the stu­dents
stuck, behind that team to the
last.

Baskin Again Wins
Last week while those fighting
Tigers were in Atlanta taking off
laurels, our own Weems Baskin was
in New York City bringing home
great honors. He won the 70-yard
hurdles by making it in nine seconds,
coming in a yard ahead of Chick
Werner, of the Illinois A. C. Two
of the favorites, Dan Kinsey and C.
J. Brlckman, were eliminated in the
semi-finals. Both of these men are
of the Chicago Athletic Assocaition.
The competition was very great, but
Baskin did not mind a little thing like
that, and so he just ran the harder,
capturing the national hurdles race.
All Hail King Baseball
Now that basketball season has
ended,'we will turn to thoughts of
spring, and this reminds us of the
baseball games, which start the latter
part of this month. While there has
been so much prophecying in the last
week as to the S. C. tourney, we see
no reason why we can't do a little now,
and say that Auburn has one of the
best chances in the South to do some
great things on the diamond. We
have one of the hardest baseball
schedules in the Southern Confer­ence,
but with all the good material
on hand and under -the excellent tu­torship
of Coach Moulton, we will
give somebody a close race for the
championship. Coach Moulton knows
his stuff at the game, as was seen
last year when he took the team over
during the latter part of the season,
and put a crimp in some of the best
teams in the Conference. "Let's go
Big Gang."
Our Baseball Mascot
"Dean" Biggins, Jr. is the Tiger
age, and toiling, a faster, better way
to work the ball in under the goal
was formulated and put into action.
Every play was mapped out and
drilled into the heads of the players.
Each player received his personal at­tention
and advice. To the master
mind on the bench belongs the lion's
share of the praise and I am proud to
take my hat off to Coach A. P. "Mike"

mascot and official batboy this year,
and he has gotten a baseball uniform,
which is exactly like our new varsity
uniforms. He has been given num­ber
"0" which he proudly wears on
his jersey. Last year "Little Dean"
was a great help to the team by keep­ing
the bats arranged in good order,
and he also helped get back many
foul balls. He is getting an early
start, and someday will probably be
one of Auburn's star players.
Track Artists Working Hard
Drake Field is the scene of a good­ly
number of thinly clad lads every af-ternon
now, for it is just four weeks
until the track team will journey to
Austin, Texas to take part in the
Texas Relays. There is much' keen
competition as to who wil make the
team, for Coach Hutsell has plenty of
material with which to select from.
The schedule is a very stiff one this
year, for the Plainsman are in two
big relays in addition to the South­ern
Conference meet and the National
Collegiate meet. Captain "Snitz"
Snider is in great form this year, and
should break several track records be­fore
the season is over.
Inter-Fraternity Basketball Starts
Soon
Every afternoon and night now, a
large number of fraternity boys are
seen working hard on the gym court,
for the inter-fraternity basketball
tourament begins in the next few days.
Almost every frat on the campus will
be represented, and some have teams
that are functioning like a million dol­lars.
But the old saying goes that
practice makes perfect, and the team
that gets the most practice will be
the most perfect and will have a bet­ter
shot at the championship. This
should be an inducement for all
teams to put in as much time as
possible in putting on the finishing
touches, for in a few days it will be
too late to start. The schedule will
be announced soo, so each team should
be sure and see when they are due
to play and be ready to start at that
time. This will save the ones in
charge a great deal of trouble.

Seniors For Class
Championship '28
S o p h ' s Have Little Trouble
W i t h S e n i o rs
By C. T. Ingersoll
It was a great calamity last Thurs­day
afternoon, when age bowed to
youth, and the Sophomores, who are
known as the "Class o f '30," won the
class football championship. This is
the first time in many years that this
class has obtained this honor, and
so it won't be long now until a "30"
will be seen on the "Ag" water tank,
this privilege being given to the class
Champs every ye^r.
In the first quarter neither team
came close to scoring, but the Sophs
made good gains and two first downs,
while the Seniors could not register
one. Pearce kicked off to the Sophs,
who made 15 yards on a pass in the
second play of the game. Jones threw
the oval to Winter. Manley and Gil­bert
did most of the gaining in this
j period, and the ball was punted back
and forth at close intervals. The
quarter closed with the ball in the
possession of the Sophomores.
Gilbert made first down for the
Sophs on the first play in the second
quarter. The Sophs were forced to
punt, and the Seniors fumbled, the
Sophs recovering. The "Class of 30"
began an attack that ended up in a
score. Sophs bucked out on first play, \
and on next play Lester failed at
right end. A Sophomore pass was
knocked down, and then Gilbert fail­ed
to gain at center. Pass, Jones to
Manley, was good for 15 yards and
first down. Jones lost three, pass,
Jones to Gilbert netted 9 yards. Gil­bert
made first down with goal to
go, and was stopped at center on next
play, the Senior line holding like a
stone wall. On the next play, Gilbert
went over for the first score of the
game. A pass from Jones was
knocked down. Score: Sophs 6,
Seniors 0.
On the kick off Sitz, big Senior
lineman, caught Jones' punt, and ran
twenty yards before being stopped.

KRATZER'S
WILSONIAN >
Resolved that:, "Prose is of more im­portance
than poetry in literature,"
was the subject for an interesting de­bate
presented before the Wilsonian
Literary Society Tuesday night, Feb.
28th. The debate brought out the fact
that the Wilsonian had many capable
debaters who could ably present their
arguments before an audience with
ease. Representing the affirmative
side of the debate were George Staf­ford,
J. W. Matthews and Hazel
Arant with rebuttals by Stafford and
Acant. The negative side was com­posed
of H. W. Overton, Lois Wells
and Mildred Dimmitt with Overton
and Wells giving the rebuttals.
After due consideration of the
points brought out by both sides and
the platform manners of the contest­ants
the judges renderd the decision
in favor of the affirmative side. The
fact was brought out that the negative
team overlooked several important
phases of the subject. The judges
were M. S. Kestler, J. E. Walsh and
Sam Mosley, members of the Auburn
Forensic Council.
J. H. Rumbley, chairman of the so­cial
committee, announced that there
would be a social Friday night, March
2. The entertainment will begin at
7 o'clock in front of the Main build­ing.
All Wilsonians and their friends
are invited to attend the social.
The meeting was fairly well attend­ed,
considering the large number of
students attending the basketball tour­nament
in Atlanta. Alice Whitcher,
ably presided in the absence of the
president, E. G. Salter.

The A. I. E. E. held its weekly
meeting last Thursday evening in
Ramsay Hall. The meeting was call­ed
to order by the chairman, and the
entire meeting was given over to a
discussion of matters pertaining to
the society. C. R. DeArman made a
report to the society on the committee
from the different engineering socie­ties
which was to plan an Engineers
Day program. After his report, the
chairman called for a discussion of
the plan. Mr. Arthur M. Dunstan com­mented
on the plan, expressing the
idea that an Engineer's Day would
be a means of drawing the engineer­ing
students on the campus closer
together. Mr. E: R. Hauser gave a
short talk in which he attempted to
explain the' importance of the Au­burn
Engineer to the school as an
advertiser, and for which reason it
should be put on a still firmer basis.
The society was then favored with
a short talk from Mr. W. T. Fuller.
ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION
The members of the Architectural
Associations at the regular weekly
meeting on Monday night were treat­ed
to a fine program different from
any given this year. Instead of the
program given by some prominent ar­chitect,
which is.the usual case, the
program consisted of a musical enter­tainment
given by Professor Roe of
the Foreign Languages Department.
Professor Roe gave a varied pro­gram
including some of the old fa­miliar
and popular airs. He played
and sang some of the French songs.
Among the French songs he played
was the French National Air, "La
Marseillaise."
After the musical program, on
being asked to speak some, Professor
Roe said that as everybody was teed
up about athletics at present, basket­ball
in particular, he would like to
say a few words concerning Athletics
in Europe. In his talk he compared
the sports 'of the French to that of
the Swiss and then to the sports of
England and America.
Before the close of the meeting, Mr.
M. G. Smith made a, talk concerning
the purpose and results of the Honor­ary
Architectural Fraternity "Bote-gha."
He also announced three new
pledges, orte senior, Mr. John Robert­son,
and two juniors, Mr. G. C. Mor­gan
and Mr. B. R. Anderson.
CHEMICAL SOCIETY
The first few minutes of the hour
were taken up in electing new offi­cers
to fill the vacancies of Miss Hope
Norris, critic and Mr. W. H. H. Mor­ris,
chairman'of publicity committee.
After transacting of business, Mr.
E. M. Eiland gave a very interesting
discussion on "Catalysis—A New

Factor in Industry." In this he
stated that the best definition for a
catalyst is merely, "A Helping Agent."
Many industries are increasing the
quantity as well as the quality of
their products by using catalysis.
Platinum, mercury, copper and many
other metals are used in various
forms as catalytic agents.
The second part of the program
was "Industrial Gases," by C* H. Kim-brough.
The alchemists in their at­tempt
to make gold by fusion of
metals noticed that different odors
and various colored fumes were given
off. This was the beginning of the
gas production of today. Without the
Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon-dioxide,
Nitrogen, Acetylene, Methane, and
many other gases we would be de­prived
of "scores of the necessities as
well as conveniences of today.
The last topic of the program was
a discussion of "High Pressure Steam
in Locomotives," by Mr. L. M. Red-dock.
According to Mr. Reddock the
steam pressure in locomotive boilers
has increased from fifty pounds in the
Tom Thumb to as much as nine-hun­dred
pounds in a recent German lo­comotive.
With increases of pressure
comes a decrease in amount of coal
consumed and an increase in the effi­ciency.
League Minstrels
Prove Excellent
The Auburn Epworth League pre­sented
quite an attraction last Friday,
February 24, in the form of "The Au­burn
Minstrels of Nineteen Twenty-
Eight." The curtain of Anderson
Auditorium in the Methodist Sunday
School Building where the minstrel
was held, rose at eight o'clock, and
the well chosen personnel demon­strated
their talents in a way that
is truly commendable. The audi­ence,
was more than pleased with the
performance, and left the auditorium
well satisfied with their pleasant
evening.
The program included instrumental
and vocal numbers and quartet selec­tions.
The main feature of the show
was Max Jones and his Auburn Col­legians,
leading college jazz orches­tra.
The musical numbers were in­terspersed
with clever bits of comedy
by local comedians.

EVANS
Evidently the desire for the thrill­ing
experience of riding a "midnight
freight" is not so strong in the hearts
of the members of the Evans literary
society, as a majority of them were
present Tuesday night and heard one
of the best programs ever rendered by
the Evans.
The first number on this remark­able
program was an interesting dis­cussion
of "Words" by M. V. Hallman.
Mr. Hallman stated that words are
windows through which ones associ­ates
look in upon ones character.
Going still further, he asserted that
the vocabulary of the average college
student is sadly lacking in many res­pects,
and, in many instances, limited
to slang and other words of little real
merit and elegance. He also pointed
out some specific examples of over­worked
words on the Auburn cam­pus.
Mr. Hallman stated, in con­clusion,
thajt words are marvelous
and when correctly applied, properly
proportioned and psychologically
timed, may work miracles.
Following this talk, C. J. DeLoach
gave some worthwhile suggestions for
creating new life within, and inter­est
in, literary societies. Mr. De-
Loach declared that the only way to
do this was to have the full coopera­tion
of each member.
The next speaker was J.. W. Sen-tell
who told the society of the pleas­ant
relations between the employers
and the employees of the Central of
Georgia Railway Company and why
these conditions exist. He said that
the facilities for recreation, the-pos­sibilities
for promotion, and the as-surity
of permanent employment help­ed
to "keep the employees content and
in the service of the company.
The concluding number was a dis­cussion
of Herbert Spencer andNMusic
by Miss Margaret McNeal. She told
the society that Spencer had very pe­culiar
ideas concerning music, its in­fluence
upon the lives and works of
people, and the effect it had upon
Spencer himself. Miss McNeal stated
that his essays proved that music had
influenced him considerably in his
scientific work and otherwise.

Judge Thomas Says
Business Is Sound
AUbamian Addreues Bankers Asso­ciation
Meeting
Addressing the Chattahoochee Val­ley
Banker's Association here Thurs­day
night, Judge C. E. Thomas,
superintendent of the state depart­ment
of banking Montgomery, de­clared
that busines conditions in Ala­bama
are very sound at present, and
that he anticipated no depressed con­ditions
unless cotton acreage and-pro-duction
exceed reasonable demand.
He said that the banks are in a very
sound condition, that they are making
sound and conservative loans, and
that they are watching their advances.
Preceding his discussion of banks
he discussed the cotton situation,
pointing out that a very large crop
is a burden financially and otherwise.
He presented figures showing that in
the past a very large crop has brought
considerably less money than a very
small crop; and that in addition to
this burden a very large crop usually
goes with a short feed crop, thereby
adding another burden by increasing
the amount of buying which farmers
must do. He urged the cooperation
of the bankers in keeping cotton in
its proper place in Alabama this
year. He said that similar steps are
being taken by bankers throughout
the cotton belt.
With pride Judge Thomas told his
banker audience that there was only
one bank failure in Alabama last
year, this being a far better record
than was made in many other states.
There are in the state 273 state banks
and 104 national banks. The Bir­mingham
Trust and Savings Com­pany
is the largest of the state
banks.
Following his address a motion was
made by D. T. Tatum, former presi­dent
of the association, that Judge
Thomas be given a vote of apprecia­tion
for the way he is handling the
state banking department. The vote
was cast by standing vote.

An unique feature of the program
was the presentation of an American
flag to the club, by Elliott Brown-field,
representing the Opelika Club,
and accepted by Dr. W. A. Gardner,
of the Auburn club. After accepting
it, the audience stood and repeated in
unison the pledge to the flag. W. H.
McGregor, of the Opelika club, made
a hit with his songs and stunts, after
which the entire audience sang "No
Trouble to Smile."
The Auburn club received its char­ter
with 58 members. The officers of
the club are Capt. B. C. Anderson,
president; G. A. Trollope, vice-presi­dent;
W. H. Weidenbach, secretary;

was discussed by Dean J. W. Scott
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
Dr. Scott "said that one-half of the
gold supply of the world is held by
the United States, the total amount
for this country being $4,900,000,000.
Other currency in circulation is ap­proximately
the same as gold. Total
bank deposits are twenty times as
great as the total monies in circula­tion.
He explained that prior to the world
war England and other European
countries held most of the gold but
that trade with the United States
during the war shifted the situation.
"Trade practices," said Dr. Scott,
"pumped the gold supply from Eu­rope
to this country."
He pointed out that since the war
the foreign trade of the United
States has shifted • rapidly from Eu­rope
to South and Central America.
He declared that lack of gold in Eu­ropean
countries and a protective
tariff are working against trading
with the United States. He declared
that both of the major political
parties are responsible for this tariff
situation.

There are several events of interest
that will soon come to pass in the
East Ala. Council Boy Scouts. These
events are of importance as they will
have bearing on the boys and men and
leaders of Scouting.
FIRST—This month is a continu­ance
of the training courses that
have been conducted over the terri­tory
in centers. Ashland center had
splendid attendance. Opelika had
splendid attendance as a center.
Roanoke had the leaders from there
at center. Monday Alex City began
as a center and will be followed in
succession by Tuskegee then Tallas­s
e e as centers.
SECOND—The committee on Field
Day is working. The place has not
been selected but the time is April
14th. or maybe just a little later. The
program has been prepared ready for
inspection and has some mighty in­teresting
events.
THIRD—Tallassee has invited the
entire Council to Tallassee the latter
part of next month to a big barbecue.
Let us hope that every town will at­tend.
FOURTH—Camp time will be June
2nd. to July 1st. Each troop having
a specified time to come to the sum­mer
camp. Improvements will be
made to meet the large number com­ing.
FIFTH—The Council at its next
meeting will discuss some plans for
a trip for Eagle Scouts in this Coun­cil.
The Scout office has some plans
but these will not be issued until after
the meeting in March. If a trip is
taken it will be after camp probably
in July or August. None are eligible
but Eagles. So boys go to it.
SIXTH—During the month of
March instead of each town having a
meeting of its local committees, they
will meet in centers. These centers
being Opelika, Tuskegee, Tallassee,
Roanoke, Alex City and Ashland.
GOVERNOR GRAVES
ENDORSES C. M. T. C.
Governor Bibb Graves of Alabama,
in writing to Major General Rich­mond
P. Davis, commanding the
Fourth Corps Area, had this to say
of the mission of the coming Citizen's
Military Training Camps:
"To bring together for a month's
training, under healthful surround­ings,
young men from all walks of
life on a common basis of equality,
and by supervised athletics, military
drill and instruction in citizenship to
develop them physically and morally,
to promote a wholesome respect for
discipline, to teach the vale of team­work,
fit them for leadership in peace
or-war and impress upon them the ob­ligations
and responsibilities as citi­zens."
Quoting further from his letter,
Governor Graves says: "It is my
pleasure as Governor of Alabama to
bring to the attention of the people of
our State all activities looking toward
the devo.lpment of the highest type
of citizenship within our borders.
Now, therefore, I, Bibb Graves, Gov-
Mitchell, J. D. Moore, W. McD. Moore,
Neighbors, M. L. Nichols, J. A. Par-rish,

ernor of Alabama, do hereby invite
the young men of our State and the
parents of these young men, to ren
der every possible aid and encourage­ment
in making the Citizens' Military
Training Camps to be held at Camp
McClellan,- Anniston, Alabama, Fort
Barrancas, Florida and Fort Ogle­thorpe,
Georgia, from June 17th to
July 16th, 1928, all of which camps
will be open to the young men from
various sections of Alabama, the un­qualified
success in 1928 that they
have been in the past."
Major Roy S. Atwood, Fourth Corps
Area, Citizens' Military Training
Camps Officer, at Fort McPherson,
Georgia, states that, though applica­tions
are coming in from Alabama
about two and one half times as fast
as they did last year, this State is
next to last among the eight in the
Corps Area in per cent of applica­tions
received, based on quotas as­signed.
He added that if this con­tinued
the boys from neighboring
states would secure the advantages
and opportunities now being offered
to the boys from Alabama, and urges
the latter to submit their applications
without further delay.
All of us possess vast stores of
energy on which we never draw ex­cept
in a crisis.
Some people are stupid, while
others just appear stupid.

headed for a touchdown. A pass to
Rudder made 9 yards. The Sophs re­ceived
two five yard penalities, and a
pass from Daugette brought firs*
down. Seniors failed in line, and
then a pass, Daugette to Rudder, made
another first down. The Seniors fail­ed
to make first down, and the ball
went over. Manley made first down
as the half ended.
The second half started with the
Sophs kicking to the Senior 10 yard
line. The Seniors punted after try­ing
a few line plays, and it was the
Sophs ball on the 33 yard line. Man-ley
and^ Gilbert hit the line for first
down. A pass, Jones to Manley, made
6 yards. The Second-year men buck­ed
the ball out of bounds, and were
penalized 15 yards for holding on the
next play. Jones punted to Worth-ington
who brought it back 5 yards,
being stopped on the 16 yard line.
Then Manley intercepted a Senior
pass on the 20 yard line. Manley
failed at center. On the next play a
pass, Jones to Winters, brought home
the bacon again for-the Sophs. Win­ters
dived across the goal line, dodg­ing
some would-be tacklers. Jones
kicked goal for extra point. Score:
Sophs 13, Seniors 0.
The Sophomores again kicked off,
and Worthington brought the pig­skin
back 10 yards. A Senior punt
was blocked, and then Sophs recov­ered.
Daugette picked up a Soph
fumble, and ran to mid-field. The
ball was kept going back and forth
for the rest of this quarter.
In the last quarter the Seniors
opened up an aerial attack which
made good gains, but they were un­able
to change the score. Two Senior
passes were intercepted, while only
one Soph pass was gotten by Seniors.
Kenny and Rudder made two nice
gains on passes. The game ended
with the ball in Sophs possession.
The two bright stars for the vic­tors
were Manley and Gilbert, who
made gain after gain, and showed
great form in running. Jones ran his
team well, and got of some punts
which brought in good yardage. Win-*
ters, Burt, and Long were found to be
stumbling blocks in the line. Shannon
also did his part while he was in ac­tion.
There were not many brilliant play­ers
on the Senior team, but they all
worked together and did some nice
playing. Daugette threw some pretty
passes, and Rudder was on the receiv­ing
end of several. Worthington made
some pretty end runs, and guided his
team in an excellent way. Alexander,
Scott, and Sitz fought hard in the
line. Chambers was also in a large
number of plays.

The National
Joy Smoke"
is no mere
catch-phrase
YOU can prove it. Prince Albeit is the Nation's
largest-selling brand of pipe-tobacco. It brings
joy to more smokers than any other brand.
Q.E.D.! Your first fragrant whiff will set your
mouth a-watering.
And your first taste of good old P. A. in a
pipe will satisfy your pipe-hunger as nothing
else ever has. Cool as the first period. Welcome
as the last. Mellow and mild and long-burning,
right to the bottom of the bowl. Try P. A.,
Fellows, on my say-so.
PRINGE ALBERT
—the national joy smoke!
A snappy roadster,
a wonderful girl,
and a pipeful of good
old P. A.!
