Georgia Rats Win From Tiger Frosh by Score of 39*6
AUBURN FROSH OUTPLAYED
AFTER FIRST FEW MINUTES
By Tad McCallum
Auburn's Baby Tigers went down
to a crushing 39 to 6 defeat at the
hands of the Georgia Freshmen aggregation
in the Columbus Memorial
Stadium Friday afternoon, in a game
featured by the numerous and lengthy
sprints of the Georgia backs. The
Auburn Frosh played a listless game,
and with the exception of a brilliant
drive in the opening minutes of play,
nover reached their usual standard of
Play.
The Bullpups had by far the best
team that the Auburn Rats have encountered
this season, and they
reached top form in yesterday's battle.
It will be hard to find a harder
driving fullback anywhere than Patterson,
of the Georgia team. He was
practically unstoppable and drove
over four of his team's touchdowns.
Downs and Chandler were the other
two backs in the Georgia rear works
who dealt the Tiger Rats misery.
Both were brilliant broken-field' runners
and got away time after time
for runs of 15 to 45 yards.
If the Auburn Frosh could have
kept up the same fight and drive for
the entire sixty minutes that they
exhibited in the first quarter the final
score would have been a great deal
different. Patterson kicked off for
Georgia to open the game and Harding
returned 45 yards to Georgia's
40 yard line. The Baby Tigers settled
down to business and reeled off
two first downs in succession with
"Frock" Pate doing most of the damage
to the Georgia line. A pass, Phillips
to Prim, placed the ball on the
two yard marker and after two
plunges had failed~to gain, Pate went
over for the touchdown. Pate's attempt
for extra point was blocked.
Georgia's first touchdown came
soon after. Auburn kicked off and
Patterson was downed on his own 42-
yard line. A 35-yard sprint by
Downs placed the ball on Auburn's
25-yard line and on a beautifully
executed triple pass, Profumo circled

Beginning with the opening of the
second semester in January two Armenian
students will be registered at
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
They will come here to study agriculture
and return to Armenia and assist
in the reconstruction of the fatherland,
which suffered severely
during the world war.
A request to enter these students
has been received by Dr. Bradford
Knapp from the Armenian National
Deputy and General Secretary of the
Agricultural Society. Sarkis Gedi-kian,
who is now at Alexandria,
Egypt, will be one of the two. The
other will be named later.
These students will enter the freshman
class in agriculture and will remain
in Auburn until they complete
the course. They have had high
school and other preparatory training.
This is only one phase of rehabilitation
work of the Armenians, Dr.
Knapp said. Engineering students
are being trained elsewhere to be
leaders in engineer reconstruction
work. Several institutions of higher
learning in this country have been
selected for these students, Auburn
being one of the number.
AUBURN PLAYERS
START SEASON OFF
AT UNION SPRINGS
A view of dramatics at Auburn was
presented to the people of Union
Springs, Friday night, November 23,
when four one-act plays were presented
at the high school auditorium
there before a large audience. This
trip was one of the most auspicious
openings of the school's dramatic seasons
in the history of the Auburn
Players. The reputation of the organization
in Union Springs was
firmly fixed by the presentation of
these four plays. Each fully merited
the loud and long agplause given at
the conclusion of every act.
All the casts in the plays were, of
course, Auburn characters, most of

brother, R. H. Allison at Chil-licothe,
Illinois. He died in Chicago,
November 10, following an operation
at the age of 57.
Mr. Allison had been with the
Sante Fe Railroad 30 years. At the
time of his death he was general
manager and regarded as one of the
leading railroad executives of the
United States.
He leaves a wife and one son in
addition to many other relatives to
mourn his death. The sympathy of
friends of Dr. Allison is extended to
him and also to other members of the
bereaved family.

AGAINST TECH TEAM

Auburn Has Won in

TECH MAN PLACES FIRST
Auburn Captures Second, Third
and Fourth Places
By T. S. Winter
Friday afternoon, the Library corner
was the scene of quite a bit of
excitement for it was the starting and
finishing point of the 5 mile cross
country race between Auburn and
Georgia Tech which the Plainsmen
won 22 to'33. Promptly at 3:30 Bas-kin
gave the signal that sent the harriers
off on their long run. Exactly
28 minutes and 10 3-5 seconds later
Brewer of Tech crossed the line to
beat Helms of Auburn 3 1-5 seconds.
Brewer finished easily lopking back
several times to see that no Auburn
man was close enough to beat him.
Helms was followed closely by Teague
and Shanks of Auburn and Sumner-our
of Tech.
This is the second meet of the year
for the Tigers, the first they lost to
Georgia 20 to 35. In this race Bob
Young, probably the greatest long
distance runner in the south, set a
new Southern record for the 5 miles
of 25 minutes and 1 second. Although
Georgia defeated Auburn, they lost
to Tech the week before 24 to 31.
Next week Auburn goes to the
Southern Conference meet in Atlanta
and if they run as good a race there
as they did yesterday it will be a
pretty safe guess to say that the
Tigers will win the meet. In Friday's
race Auburn took five of the first
seven places. Brewer of Tech finished
first and Sumnerour of Tech
finished sixth. Otherwise Helms,
Teague, Shanks, Pitts, and McLendon
finished for Auburn, in the order
named.
Snags Passes and Plays Steady Defense AUBURN IS BEWILDERED BY
PASSING ATTACK OF AGGIES
Auburn upsets dope by playing sluggish game, losing to
Mississippi A. & M. by a score of 13-0. Eighty yard punt by
Crawford a feature of fray; Peake plays splendid game at
halfback. Strong Mississippi backs make long gains through
weak Auburn line on powerful drives. Game marked by many
penalties on both sides, Auburn being penalized more than in
any other game of the year. Bridges and Pappenheimer star
for A. & M. Auburn's passing attack functions well, but is not
effective, netting only small gains. At no time do Plainsman
make strong threat to score.

Flood Lights Erected
On Edge Drill Field
During the first part of this week
four flood light's were erected on the
drill field, two on the west side, by
the Gym, and the other two on the
east side of the field. They are set
up about twenty five feet above the
ground and equipped with 1000 watt
globes. One purpose of these lights
is to light up the drill field during
the dances, at basketball games, and
at other times when the gym is being
used. Under the powerful lights,
it is possible to have a night football
game, or practice, on the field. The
west side of the campus has always
been dark at night, and the lights will
improve this situation very much.
The lights can be moved about at almost
any angle, and the president's
home, the library, the gym, and other
places in the vicinity can be illuminated
when it is desirable.

Auburn Little Theater
Guild Is Proposed By
A u b u r n Professors
VOTING ON SUNDAY
MOVIE PROPOSAL IS
GOING VERY SLOWLY
Ratio of Ballots Shows Odds
Overwhelmingly in Favor
of Movies
STUDENTS VOTE 150 TO 1
Profits Will Be Given to Fund
For Scholarship
The balloting on the Sunday movie
question has proceeded very slowly,
but it is overwhelmingly in favor of
the proposal to operate the Tiger
Theatre on Sunday afternoons. The
ratio of votes is 30 to 1 among the
townspeople, and 150 to one among
the students. This appears to be a
conclusive exhibition of sentiment for
the Sunday movie, but nothing definite
has been done as yet about opening
the theatre. An announcement is
expected from the management soon.
Mr. Rogers, manager of the Tiger,
has offered to donate the profits from
a Sunday afternoon picture to a
scholarship fund. The plan was proposed
to solve the problem of providing
some amusement which would
prevent the students from leaving the
campus on week-ends. A straw vote
has been in progress for several days,
to obtain the sentiment of the town
on the question.
An enthusiastic response was made
by the citizens of Auburn at a meeting,
Friday evening, called for the
purpose of organizing a Little Theatre
Guild, by Dr. Gosser and Dr.
Weaver, directors and instigators of
the movement in Auburn. The purpose
of the movement is to stimulate
interest in the community in dramatic
literature, and to give opportunity
for dramatic expression to those
members of the organization who desire
to take active part in the presentation
of plays.
T. P. Atkinson was appointed as
chairman of a committee of six to
draw up the constitution of the organization.
Other mmebers of the
committee are Mrs. Van Wagner,
Mr Hay, Miss Martha Haupt, Mrs. P.
O. Davis, Mrs. Wilmore, and C. M.
Rush. It was decided that a fee of
two dollars will be required for membership
to aid in the purchase of
equipment. This fee will entitle
members to see all performances given
by the organization and by the
Auburn Players without extra cost.
The next meeting of the group has
been set for next Thursday night at
7 o'clock at the Little Theatre. All
citizens of the community and members
of the faculty of the college and
high school are invited to join.

The freshman reserve squad of
Alabama Polytechnic Institute won a
sweeping victory over the Gadsden
High School gridsters in a hard
fought game Friday afternoon.
Though the score, 20-14, is a close
one, the freshman eleven clearly outclassed
their opponents in every
branch of the game.
The first touchdown of the game
was made by Auburn, coming as a
result of a powerful offensive drive
and a long pass. The Gadsden team
also scored in the first quarter, making
its second tally in the last period.
In this game Auburn kicked her first
goal of the year, two of the tries for
extra point being made good by perfect
placement kicks by Ward. It is
significant, also, that all three of Auburn's
drives for touchdowns were
completed by passes.

Little Theatre Is
Progressive Movement
The announcement that a Little Theatre
Guild will be organized here should be a
source of gratification and pride to the citizens
and students of Auburn. This movement,
which was originated by the Irish lit-terati,
led by Yeats and and Lady Gregory,
has spread to the larger cities of America
rapidly. Almost every city of any size has
its Little Theatre, where persons interested
in the drama can enjoy production of the
best plays of the times.
That the Auburn Guild will offer the
highest type of dramatic presentation is
assured by the announcement that the directors
will be Dr. Leo Gosser and Dr.
Charles Weaver. Both men have had much
experience in this field, and are capable of
directing the Little Theatre so that it will
become an important element in the cultural
life of Auburn.
Talent from the town and from the student
body will be used, which will give the
directors ample material for selecting casts.
Thus students and citizens will be able to
develop dramatic talent under very favorable
conditions.
The Guild will fill a greatly-felt need-that
of a theatre for Auburn and that of a
laboratory for the teaching of dramatic art.
The interest already manifested in the
movement is indicative that the people of
Auburn are appreciative of dramatic art,
and wish to enjoy it. This is a very progressive
step for a town as small as Auburn,
and deserves the support of the student
body. It will provide an opportunity
which few cities less than 100,000 population
can offer.
Co-Eds Shouldn't
Sling Mud
We have a peculiar element of humanity
constituting a part of the life on this campus.
That peculiar element is the co-ed.
She has been a minor part of the institution
for a great many years, and seems
likely to gather strength as far as numbers
are concerned in the future. There have
been efforts to oust her, but all have been
in vain. And why have we wanted her out
of the college? Because there are qualities
about her that boys do not like.
Some of the co-eds here are the most
snobbishly conceited members of the female
specie we have ever had the misfortune to
meet. They come to Auburn walking on air;
in fact, everyone is just a little below them,
in their estimation. If they condescend to
speak, they just know that they are conferring
a favor on some poor mortal. Bu'
let some man cut them off once or twic
and they hasten with crocodile tear
ing from their eyes to somonr I
of influence; they bawa!! 1.
have been insulted; they wan. iOBlau _.
done about it. They say that no student is
a gentleman, for he does not act as much.
Yet how can one act the gentleman's part
when they do not particularly deserve such
respect?
And judging from the way some of the
co-eds dress, we are led to believe that the
wrath of some greater power is brought
down on the head of erring man, and he is
punished by having to look at them. Then,
too, we have found out what keeps some of
our drug stores in business. We wonder
when the co-eds wash their faces if they
ever reach the skin. Possibly she just adds
another coat and lets it go at that.
The thought plays in our mind a great
deal that the co-eds think they are privileged
characters when they enter our midst.
A good example of what we mean can be
seen at the cafeteria. Sometimes the formation
of a line is necessary in order to be
able to get any food. That is, a line is
necessary for all except the girls, who think
nothing at all in jumping in at any place.
And that is a rotten way for even a co-ed
to act. They do this without the slightest
hesitation, and then have the nerve to say
that the boys won't treat them as they
should. How can we do it when they act
as they do? Possibly the boys should do the
same, but what a howl would be raised by
these innocent little two-facers.
As we have intimated all along, all the
girls do not do this, but there are enough
doing it to make all of them more or less
prejudiced against. It does not make any
difference to us whether they want to speak
or not; it does not make any difference
whether they buy the entire line of all the
cosmetic companies or not, but it does make
a difference when they deliberately take our
places in the "chow" line. And it does
make a difference when they demand that
we be taken to task for the way in which
we act towards them when they have not
made the least move to correct a great many
cheap and unwarranted habits of their own.
Upperclassmen Do Not
Report Rat Violations
A court of seven Seniors duly chosen by
a formal class election sit idly by awaiting
action in the form of trials and punishment
meted out to Freshmen who have proceeded
to break regulations drawn up at this
same meeting.
Why is this court sitting idle? Is it because
the members of the Freshman class
are functioning so perfectly in accord with
these regulations that none of them have
been broken? One can hardly agree in
the affirmative.
The whole fault lies in the fact that no
violators have been reported. And this is
a distinct reflection upon the Senior class,
as well as all other upperclassmen. Is there
a hidden fear on the part of the upperclassmen
that the ones reporting violations
might be executed by a secretly operating
committee of Freshmen? Evidently there
is a hitch in the progress somewhere.
Is the student body pausing at the question,
"Who is going to bell the cat?" Have
the meditaters, commenters and other dissenters
completely locoed the entire group
of upperclassmen? To the casual observer,
that's just the way it appears. Or is this
neglect due to the mistaken idea that Auburn's
progress will be retarded by the enforcement
of Rat rules?
We offer these Rat rules, as drawn up
and approved by the Senior class, entirely
and wholly in keeping with the present advancement
of the Institution. We repeat
them here, as proof of their mild, worthy
intentions:
1. Freshmen shall wear no hats or caps
inside college buildings.
2. Freshmen shall wear "Rat" caps at
all times during the week days except when
in uniform.

4. Freshmen shall not smoke in college

5. Freshmen shall not jay walk.
6. Freshmen shall sit in a body at all
college games.
Now think over the matter seriously.
Are not these rules a concrete expression
of the very principles which Dr. Knapp has

repeatedly emphasized the fact that he
wanted to see all Freshmen wearing caps,

feel certain that he holds no objection to

Letters to the Editor
Editor Plainsman.
Dear Sir:
It has always been the policy of the
Plainsman to back all reforms which were
for the best interests of Auburn and the
Auburn students. This being the case I
wish to call to your attention a matter
which should make an especial appeal to
every student who is the least bit interested
in getting honest value received for his
f , • > . -
i i that the druggist here has
f"r orch package of cigarets
• h?r town in the
. Alabama that asks more
than the usual 15c? Is there any reason
why we should have to submit to such" robbery
now that the tobacco companies themselves
have taken over the State tax and
paid it long before the cigarettes reach
these druggists? If there is any sane reason
for this outrage then I shall be the first
one to offer my apologies to these so-called
supporters of the Auburn Students. If
not, then why not stop this unlawful profiteering
now, and by so doing give these fine,
high-minded, unjust, supporters a chance to
prove their loyalty to the men of Auburn.
I leave with you one word. Should we
continue to patronize such gross robbery
because we do not^ know that the grocer
across the way sells his cigarettes at the
reasonable price.
Yours,
A $40 per month Student.
Editor, The Plainsman.
Dear Mr. Editor:
Once upon a time a great man who is an
Engineer and Philanthropist, sensing the
need of a place where men could go and
learn to be engineers, donated, through his
generosity, enough money to make possible
the erection of a new engineering building
at Auburn. This building which was
originally intended for engineers has up to
the present CRISIS been called Ramsay
Hall.
The old order changeth, yielding place to
new, the corridors here which once were so
sacred to all engineers, now ring and vibrate
with echoes of strange, though not
mysterious, voices which have their origin
from effeminate sources. As these voices
have been traced to their origin, it is easily
seen that the new invaders would not dare
take hold unless somewhere the recess of
some engineering room were stored reserves
lately from "Ag Hill."
Where bridges, dams, dynamos, and whatnots
were once designed in the class rooms,
now we find Paris declaring that' dresses
will be shorter this season, while still further
down the hall, where engineering subjects
once held sway, the future farmers and
milk maids are found thrashing out their
life's destinies.
We wonder if such men as those whose
names occur on the front of this building
obtained their education under such trying
circumstances and embarrassing situations.
What would these immortals have thought
had they walked into a class room and found
such truths as: E equals RI, Q equals AV,
partly erased and supplanted by "step-ins"
and other dainties so dear to the hearts of
modern youth? Or in place of some engineering
plant they had been confronted with
a modern up-to-date mule barn.
All loyal ENGINEERS who once enjoyed
schooling in an "ENGINEERING" building,
come to the front with suggestions or
ideas whereby we, the future engineers, may
by some means once more make our halls
and classrooms immune of such mortals
who might in the course of, not years, but
months, conduct National Egg Laying Contests
in our loyal Dean's present office, and
present a fashion show in our laboratories.
Unless something is done immediately to
repossess Ramsey Hall for it's original occupants,
"ENGINEERS," we suggest that
its name be changed to either "Comer Hall
Annex" or "Practice House Number Two"
and the engineers retire to spots unknown.
Ye True Engineers.
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
The new lights on the parade ground can
be made of a great deal of use. They will
make it light when there are games at the
"gym" during basketball season; they will
light up the area when dances are held
there, but don't forget that they will make
it possible for the team to come over onto
the parade ground and practice and next
year they will be mighty useful for that
purpose.
* * * * *
Knowledge is a great thing but only in
case it is used. There are many of us who
fail to do what we know ought to be
done. If the known and well recognized
facts of health were practiced by all who
know them it would make a great deal of
difference with the health and comfort of
the human race. If the facts of science
which many study and understand were to
become so much a part of us that we used
them daily, it would make a distinct difference.
It takes a long time for the human
race to really learn to do what they
know they ought to do. How much would be
saved, however, if actions were squared
with our knowledge.
* * * * *
Don't get discouraged. Control of self
is part of your education. The course of
study in a college is fixed so that students
who will may pass their subjects and finish
the course. Think of the great number who
have graduated here. What they have done
you can do if you are willing to forego a
few pleasures, to apply yourself to some
tasks and become a seeker after knowledge.
Generally the discouraged student has neglected
his work or failed to apply himself
or needs in some way to take vigorous hold
of his situation and work out his own salvation.

PAGE AND STAGE «
The uses of propaganda in modern life
are discussed by Edward L. Bernays in his
new book, "Propaganda," published by
Horace Liveright on Nov. 15. Mr. Bernays
is a Public Relations counsel, acting in that
capacity for some of America's largest corporations.
A Public Relations counsel, you
know, is something like a press agent, only
ever so much more dignified.
St. John Ervine warns intending purchasers
of his book, "How to Write a Play,"
that he does not pretend to teach any one
how to become an accomplished playwright.
All he attempts to do is to show the aspirant
how to develop his instinct for the
drama if he has it. The warning will fall
on deaf ears, for every aspiring playwright
just knows that he has the instinct. Mr.
Ervine's book was published by the Mac-millan
Company on Nov. 13.
Duncan Aaikman's "Hallelujah," a study
of the strange religious cults that have
flourished in America since Colonial days,
will be published by Henry Holt & Co. next
Spring instead of this Fall, as was first announced.
Mr. Aikman has found that the
research for the book requires more time
than he anticipated.
During the month of December the International
Publishers will bring out six
new volumes in their series, "Voices of Revolt."
The titles of the new volumes are:
"Eugene V. Debbs," "Rosa Luxemburg,"
"Daniel De Leon," "John Reed," "Wendell
Phillips" and "The Chicago Anarchists."
Miss Annie S. Peck, A. M., F. R. G. S.,
famous as a mountain climber, author and
lecturer, has had the honor of having a
mountain peak in Peru named after her.
Cumbre Ana Peck, one of the summits of
Huascaran, was recently so named by the
Lima Geographical Society.
Will Durant, who was a member of the
Book Selection Committee of the American
Bookseller's Association, has been compelled
to resign from that position because of pressure
of the work involved in preparing for
the press his new book, "Mansions of Philosophy."
"Dandies and Don Juans," by Alexander
von Gleichen-Russwurm, to be published late
in November by Alfred A. Knopf, will deal
with outstanding examples of dandyism
from Alcibiades to the Prince of Wales.
Some of the other famous men whose stories
are told in this book are Ovid, Petronius
Arbiter, the Duke of Richlieu, Casanova,
Brummel, d'Orsay, Disraeli, Eugene Sue,
Metternich and Oscar Wilde. America
ought to be represented somewhere in such
a book. How about Berry Wall or Diamond
Jim Brady, or, to come down to the present
time, Mayor Jimmy Walker?
Eugene S. Baggar's biography, "Francis
Joseph," published here by G. P. Putnam's
Sons, has been suppressed in Austria. And
it may be that over there suppression
means something. You never can tell.
Frank Parker Day, author of "Rock-bound"
((Doubleday, Doran & Co.), has
been elected President of Union College,
Schenectady, N. Y., one of the oldest colleges
in America. Mr. Day's book, "Rock-bound,"
is a tale of Newfoundland and the
fisheries of the outer islands. The scenes
of the book are familiar to Mr. Day, for he
spent his childhood on the Grand Banks
and returns there every Summer to fish
and sail. During the war he raised a New
Foundland regiment and saw service with it
throughout the war.
Dhan Gopal Mukerji returned from Europe
recently with another book for the
boys, to be published in 1929. The tentative
title is "Leader of the Herd," from
which we conclude that it is an animal story.
Mr. Mukerji's "Ghond the Hunter" has just
been issued by E. P. Dutton & Co.
Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., author of "The
Fall of the Russian Empire" (Little, Brown
& Co.), has returned from a three months
trip to Europe, where he devoted much of
his time to collecting data concerning the
fate of the Grand Duchess Anastasia, youngest
daughter of Czar Nicholas II. It will
be remembered that there is now in this
country a young woman who claims to be
the Grand Duchess. Dr. Walsh has given
no hint of his conclusions. He is now at
work on a book about Russia under the Soviets.

ONE OF these typewritten scandal
sheets which one usually associates
with a high-school classroom was
handed to me Thursday. The author's powerful
logic is exceeded only by his brilliant
humor. His remarkable reasoning is evinced
in his wager that Hoover has a cabinet
portfolio for such a mastermind. He waxes
extremely witty by a paragraph on drinking,
one on R. O. T. C. and an All American
team made up of professors. Originally
is the outstanding characteristic of his
writings. He takes a crack at The Plainsman,
asking why Lud Smith doesn't "be
like Ed Ball" and voice unbiased opinions.
Frankly I don't know whether that is serious
or humorous, but I hope that it is humorous.
If it is serious, then the writer
should get someone to draw pictures of the
editorials for him, so that he can understand
them. But I enjoyed the thing. It
brought back memories of High School.

IREAD a little Spanish story the other
day, the gist of which was as follows:
In an old and well-ordered city of Spain
there was a certain bench, around which a
sentry marched at all times. This patrol
was kept vigilantly for many years, the
bench being closely guarded, day and night.
No sentry asked why he guarded the
seat; all of them paced their patrol without
question.
At last one young man who had been assigned
to patrol the ground around the
bench asked why this duty was necessary.
This hitherto unheard-of question shocked
the elders exceedingly.
"It has been done for many years; our
oldest men cannot remember when it was
started!" he was told.
But this did not satisfy the unusual young
soldier. He proposed a search for the original
order which was responsible for this
patrol. Muttering maledictions on heretic
and radical young men, the elders went to
the old records and searched for the order.
In the bottom of a drawer, dust-covered and
almost rendered illegible by age was the order.
It had been issued one morning when
the bench had been painted, and the sentinel
was to warn people not to sit on the wet
paint.
The officer who issued the order must
have left the town that day. At any rate,
the order was not recalled when the paint
dried, and the sentries continued to pace the
patrol for generations. The paint dried in
a few hours. How many sentries do we
have in Auburn, patroling beats "because
it has been done for many years," although
the paint has long been dry?

I have always head the expression "The
King's English" as a synonym for good
speech. However, a London correspondent
of the New York Times says that although
King George is a very good orator,
his pronunciation can be improved. After
listening very carefully while the King made
his speech opening Parliament last week, he
reports, that His Majesty pronounces particular
as if it were spelled "Particklir"
and says "squittable for equitable, with the
accent on the second syllable. These De-bunkers

STUDENTS at a Virginia University
draped Thomas Jefferson's statute
with black on the morning following
the presidential election (in which Virginia
went G. O. P.) A placard announcing the
death of Jeffersonian principles of democracy
on November 7, 1928 adorned the
memorial. Thus does the college man regard
prohibition hypocrisy and religious
intolerance. But that is all over, and Auburn
managed to go Democratic. Now for

THE BUILDER
Smoothing a cypress beam
With a scarred hand,
I saw a carpenter
In a far land.
Down past the flat roofs
Poured the white sun;
But still he bent his back
The patient one.
And I paused surprised
In that queer place
To find an old man
With a haunting face.
"Who art thou, carpenter,
Of the bowed head;
And what buildest thou?"
"Heaven," he said.
