The Auburn Tigers next Saturday
will again invade the Crescent City
to cope with the Tulane "Greenies."
This time there will be no Andrew
Jackson holding the city with cotton
bales against a northern invasion;
instead, there will be a thin "Green"
line standing against the onslaught of
howling, blood-thirsty Tigers.
The players will leave Auburn Fri­day
night, arrive in New Orleans Sat­urday
morning, and will return to the
"Village of the Plains'' Sunday morn­ing.
The band will accompany them,
as has been the custom for the past
several years. About thirty players
will be taken and the band will carry
fifty men. The headquarters of
both team and band will be the Hotel
Bienville.
The Auburn band, as well as the
team, has acquired a very enviable
reputation in the Crescent City. It
will be remembered that the Auburn
band assisted greatly in the dedica­tion
of their new stadium on October
23, 1926, Auburn winning from Tu­lane
then by a score of 2-0. The
quality of the music and the conduct
of the band as a whole, at that time
won for it the undivided respect and
admiration of the New Orleans peo­ple.
Since then, the visits of the
band are gretly anticipated and great
things are expected of it on each
of its annual visits.
The band will be carried on the
trip by contributions from the Ath­letic
Association, and from all the
different classes.
The scores of the last two encoun­ters
with the "Greenies" have been:
in 1926, Auburn 2, Tulane 0; and in
1927, Auburn 6, Tulane 6.
Recently, four well-konwn young
men of thjis institution—namely,
Charles Densmore, Jesse Little,,
George Sheridan, and "Bloody"
Adams—resigned from school. It
was the general belief that these four
boys had been shipped, but such
was not the case. Rather, these stu­dents
were out for adventure-, liter­ally,
for the four of them left for
Mexico in an old model Ford road­ster.
They arrived in Mexico just
across the border from Eagle Pass,
Texas, but hardly had they gained
their objective before they were com­pelled
to return to the aforemention­ed
town for passports. Here they
were thwarted, for some cowboy
drew a gun on them and jailed three
of them. Densmore, being the only
voter in the party, was allowed to
roam the streets at will. Now the
bubble of adventure has burst—the
old Ford has been sold—the thrill-seekers
have returned to Auburn to
resume the more passive occupation
of absorbing knowledge from books.

Y.M.C.A. Ping Pong
Tournament Is Held
The Y. M. C. A. ping pong tourna­ment,
which started October 29, is
now in full swing. First matches
were played last week; the second
matches are being played this week.
Semi-final and final match dates will
be announced later, according to in­formation
given out by "Y" Athletic
Chairman, A. B. Johnson, who is di­recting
this tournament.
With twenty-four entrants, the in­terest
in the tournament is running
high.
Prizes which are being offered
through the cooperation of the busi­ness
men of the town are: First
prize—$3.95 flashlight; runner-up—
one shoe repair bill, one haircut and
one shave; first semi-finalist—$2.00
in trade; second semi-finalist—$2.00
shirt.
In a smilar tournament last ses­sion,
Williams won the match; he is
an entrant in the present fray. Ped-t
dy, Adams and Salter are other strong
contenders for a title.
Luncheon clubs of east Alabama
are expected to join in a barbecue in
connection with the celebration of
Armistice Day at Auburn, Monday,
November 12. Announcement of
this was made at the Kiwanis meet­ing
Monday by Rev. W. B. Lee, pas­tor
of the Episcopal Church and com­mander
of the Auburn Post of the
American Legion. The Kiwanis club
voted to take part in the barbecue
and Mr. Lee said that other luncheon
clubs in this district are expected to
do likewise, following an invitation
which has been extended to them.
The barbecue, which will be for
members of the clubs and World War
veterans will follow the address
which will be delivered by Dr. O. C.
Carmichael, president, Alabama Col­lege,
Montevallo. The address of
Dr. Carmichael will be preceded by a
military review of the Auburn R. O.
T. C. unit under the direction of Ma­jor
John T. Kennedy and his staff.
Dr. Carmichael and Dr. Bradford
Knapp, president, Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute, will review the Auburn
cadets at that time.
Announcement has been made by
Dr. Knapp that classes will run as
usual until ten o'clock that day. Re­mainder
of the day will be a holiday
for the Armistice celebration. W. D.
Copeland, mayor of Auburn, has been
asked to request merchants of Au­burn
to make it a holiday.

Dramatic Club Womans

The "Pierettes," Woman's College
of Alabama, will probably appear here
December the thirteenth or fourteenth
under the sponsorship of the Auburn
Players.
It has been the custom for the last
few years to have performances by
various dramatic clubs of other
schools. This will be the Pierettes
initial appearance here.
More information in regard to the
coming engagement has been applied
for by the Auburn Players and defi­nite
announcements will be made later.
The Auburn Players are working
hard on five one-act plays, which will
be given soon in their first public
appearance this year. The rehearsals
are being directed by Drs. C. P. Wea­ver
and Leo Gosser.
The plays to be presented are:
"What They Think," by Rachel Croth-ers;
"Scraps", by J. M. McMurray;
"Biologically Speaking", written by
O. T. Ivey, M. J. Blackburn, J. B.
McMillan, and L. F. Sawyer; "The
Paths of Glory", by Dr. C. P. Weaver;
"Trimplett", by Stewart Walker. The
authors of these plays are all Auburn
students except, of course, Dr. Weaver,
professor of English here. The casts
of these short dramas consist of from
three to eight actors. Improvements
have been made in the stage, lighting
effects, and in arrangement of cur­tain,
at the Y.W.C.A. hut, where these
plays are to be presented.
The Players plan several trips du­ring
the fall, and an extensive road
tour is planned for next spring. Drs.
Weaver and Gosser made a trip to
Montgomery Saturday to study the
Little Theatre, to aid in their work
here.
The present trend in the balloting
on the Sunday movie question seems
to indicate an affirmative sentiment
by overwhelming odds, but the total
vote cast has been small in proportion
to the number of persons in the stu­dent
body and town.
It seems desirable that the vote
be kept open for a few days longer,
and that faculty members and citizens
of Auburn be asked to indicate their
sentiment by voting. The ballot is
being reprinted in this issue and The
Plainsman urged the townspeople to
voice their sentiments on the question
by voting.
In order to make the issue perfectly
clear the following summary taken
from editorials and news stories in
The Plainsman is offered:
1. The problem of keeping students
on the campus on week-ends has been
unsolved. It is a vital one, as the
present practices are very harmful to
students and school. Something for
the student to do on Sunday afternoon
must b eprovided.
2. Mr. Rogers has offered to do­nate
the full profits of Sunday pic­tures
to a scholarship fund for de­serving
students.
3. We thus have a solution for
two problems in this offer. We can
no longer tell students to go to the
library, then shut our eyes while they
chase off to the corners of the state
every Sunday. We must face the
need money for scholarships. Here is
an opportunity.
TORCHLIGHT PARADE
FRIDAY NIGHT TO BE
Students Will Move in Fiery
Procession Through Streets
to Railroad Station
The Auburn spirit is again about
to break loose in the form of a torch
light parade. There has been two of
these parades in the past. This was
back in 1926 as the band and team
started to Vanderbilt, and was the
birth of one of the prettiest specta­cles
ever beheld by the' Village. In
what was one of the largest pep meet­ings
ever held, the student body form­ed
in front of Langdon Hall. With
the band leading, the procession moved
down College street. As they neared
the railroad, if one had looked back,
he would have seen a solid mass of
fire. This procession of fire as wide
as the street and reaching back to
Toomer's corner, was hailed by the
populace as one of the most spectacu­lar
performances ever given by a stu­dent
body of Auburn. Again in 1927,
the band of torch bearers sent the
team off to New Orleans in style that
won't be quickly erased from memory.
As the team again leaves for Tulane
this week, they will be given a rousing
send-off. The student body, forming
in front of Langdon Hall, will again
march down the street with torches
high in the air accompanied with
'fshouts and noises as only one versed
in the Auburn spirit can conceive.

On Friday evening, November 9,
the annual Ag Fair will be staged on
Ag Hill, in the main Ag Hangar. This
event is to be a gala affair—the big­gest
and bets of its kind ever put on
here, according to managers J. R.
Taylor, Jr., and C. T. Bailey, promin­ent
Agricultural seniors.
The advertising feature of the fair
will be a parade through the streets
of town, made up of various floats,
animals, comic stunts, etc., which will
be led by the college band. This pre­liminary
will serve to acquaint the
town with what will happen, and what
the desires of prospective attendants.
A performance by the Home Ec de­partment
will be one of the main fea­tures
of the night program. Next

wheelbarrow polo game, which invari­ably
furnishes a bundle of fun to the
spectators. Exhibits from the vari­ous
Ag departments will be on dis­play.
Ample conveniences are being ar­ranged
for to accommodate a record
breaking crowd. Refreshments will
be served at the termination of the
event. •
The annual Ag 'Fair is sponsored
by the Ag Club—one of the liveliest
organizations on the campus. It pre­sents
ample interest for all depart­ments
of the college, as well as for
the townspeople. Tickets will be on
sale during the latter part of the
week. They may also be secured at
the grounds.
Out-of-town delegates to the State

SIGMA PI HOUSE
DAMAGED BY FIRE
The most exciting runs of the
Georgia-Auburn game in Colum­bus
on Saturday were made by
the Georgia and Auburn back-field
men, but there was one
long run made that had nothing
to do with the outcome of the
game. This was a run around
the north end of the stadium by
an Auburn freshman, who was
running not with the ball, but
with two Georgia rat caps, and
the owners were running hard
after him. Having left the Geor­gians
far in the rear, and with
his own goal in sight, the Au­burn
rat was stopped by mem­bers
of the Columbus Police de­partment,
who persuaded him to
return the caps to the owners.

The Sigma Pi houte suffered slight
fire damages and much water dam­age
last Sunday night when the loft
of the house caught fire. When the
fire department was notified, -t the
siren was sounded, and immediately
scores of students on the street rush­ed
to the scene of the fire. Craving
excitement, so it seemed, these
thoughtless men ran into the house
and practically paralyzed the opera­tions
of the fire department. The
hall and room in which the smoke
was thickest were scenes of utter
confusion and pandemonium. Trunks,
clothes, furniture, and books were
thrown out of the windows. Furnish­ings
throughout the house were madly
carried to the street. To cap the
climax, the water was turned on full
force as soon as the fire hose was
brought in the front door. Before
the scene of the fire was reached
water was three inches deep on the
floors. Many valuable articles were
soaked. In this way the damages by
water ran up into figures many times
greater than the damage by fire.
Such flagrant thoughtlessness on
the part of these non-thinking stu­dents
cannot be tolerated. The small
blaze could have been extinguished
by a small hand fire extinguisher.
It behooves the student body, not
only for the good of the town but for
the welfare of the school, to be more
careful in the future.
FRESHMAN CLASS
ELECTS OFFICERS
The freshman class met Tuesday
morning in Langdon Hall to elect
officers for the year. All offices
were warmly contested. Leo Young
was elected president; J. D. Bush,
vice-president; W. L. Mims, secretary
and "Chattie" Davidson, treasurer.
The Rats turned to the fairer sex and
selected Anne Daughrity for their
historian.

Strife Is Always the
Result of Misunderstanding
Someone—an old, influential Auburn
alumnus—once said that ignorance is the
seat of practically all sorrow and misunder­standing.
With this we heartily agree.
Take the matter of officials collecting
student ticket books, when such an uproar
among students resulted. Why? Wholly
because of misunderstanding among the
victims. And this instance is representa­tive
of other circumstances where a lack
of a comprehensive view bore heavily.
Now that the whole matter has been
clearly presented to the student body, all
strife and dissention has vanished. Note
the student opinion elsewhcxe'in this paper
relative to this ton;,, where amends for
misunderstanding are made. This particu­lar
case is representative of a majority of
the rebellions among students toward the
action of the Athletic Council; we may
safely regard it the general consensus of
the student body.
All of which goes to show the adaptable-ness
of the Auburn student mind to favor­able
environment. This willingness to re­spond
to the correction of a mistaken idea
is highly commendable. Apparently it is
a universal trait here, which is receiving
excellent training at the hands of our new
leader. "Auburn's Right", even in the
minor matters, which in turn taken col­lectively
become very powerful.
"A little learning is a dangerous thing"
—so let us refrain from revolt until we
have obtained a staunch reason for revolt­ing.
Let us remain open to conviction, and
firm for the right.
them to take the initiative in this move­ment
which is for the good of Auburn?
May we not expect a progressive leader­ship
from the men who have been seelcted
as the biggest men in school? Here is an
opportunity for the three societies to do
something worthwhile, something that is
really progressive and is, above all, con­structive.
All over the nation, the value of honor
societies is being questioned. Leading edu­cators
and students, many of them wear­ing
keys, are asking if the honor societies
are worth the candle^ They say that it is
an empty honor; that the only function of
the society is to provide a key; that con­structive
achievements are rarely seen in
the field; that the societies are sterile para­sites.
Auburn is not exempt. Here is
the opportunity. We believe that Auburn
honor societies are constructive and pro­ductive.
We need leadership in the move­ment
to abolish hair-shaving. Come for­ward,
honor societies; take up this neces­sary
reform and put it over; prove your
worth and fulfill the expectations which
we have of you.
The challenge is down. How will you
answer it?
Letters to the Editor
An Opportunity
For Honor Societies
Now is the time for something to be
done about this hair-shaving. It is gen­erally
agreed that it is for the best that
the practice be abandoned. No intelligent
man can fail to see its harmful effects.
The administration regards it as an ob­noxious
element. It should go.
The hitch seems to be in initiating the
reform. No one will take the first step.
We believe that a large number of seniors
are either positively opposed to hair-shav­ing
or at least recognize the fact that it
must go, and are willing to forget their
personal prejudices and support a pro­gressive
movement. However, no one
wants to lead it.
There are at Auburn three senior honor
societies, Spades, Omicron Delta Kappa,
and Blue Key, all proposing to unit2 the
efforts and abilities of the outstanding men
on the campus in promoting the interects
of the school. To these societies the stu­dent
body naturally looks for leaders. It
is t'j these societies that The Plainsman
looks for leadership in this major reform.
Is it not logical that we shon'.d expect
October 30, 1928
Editor, The Plainsman,
Auburn, Alabama.
Dear Sir:
Due to misinformation and lack of in­vestigation
on our part we made a state­ment
in the Plainsman lately which we
wish to make amends for. The informa­tion
in this letter was received from a
very reliable source and it should clear up
the general misunderstanding on the part
of the student body regarding the sale of
student tickets for athletics.
In the first place students at Auburn
pay $7.50 a semester for student activities
when they register for each term. This
money is proportioned between the Y. M.
C. A., the Plainsman, the Glomerata and
the athletic department. Of this semester
fee, only $3.00 goes to the athletic depart­ment
from which we are issued a book of
coupon's good for admission to all athletic
activities. With the addition of a nominal
fee of $0.5 we are given the privilege of
attending out of town football games on
a regular admission ticket. Now these tick­ets
are purchased by the athletic depart­ment
for 15% of the gross costs which
must be paid to the management of the sta­dium
where the game is played. This means
that for the four excused football games
played by Auburn this season the athletic
department has to pay 157c of the gross
value of the four tickets, amounting to
$9.00, for the privilege of selling these
four tickets to the student's for $2.00.
Personally we were greatly surprised
when we learned of this arrangement and
it is evident that the athletic department
is surely coming out on the "small end
of the horn." Of course it is true that in
same of the larger universities no charge
what so ever is made to students for the
privilege of attending any athletic game
but this is made possible by the super
crowds which they have to draw on for
general admission.
Since the true facts were brought to
our attention we glady aefmit our past
viewpoint regarding the sale of student
tickets to be in the wrong and we hasten
to correct the false statements we un­knowingly
made in the columns of this
paper. We trust these facts will also
bring others to see the situation in the
right line and clear up the matter for them
as it did for us.
Very truly yours,
K. W. BEWIG, '29
W. M. GARRARD, '29
turn for their works. Was Mr. Silva's let­ter
Fiction or was it* philosophy? Person­ally
I considered it as a very coarse and
vulgar attempt to say something funny
about the first and second year students.
Was Mr. Silva withholding his real identity
in order that he might have a chance in
the literary field or was he afraid that
some of the so called "yokels" would give
him the licking that he needs? I really
think that the latter reason prompted him
to withhold his identity.
Wilfred Percy Ambrose made an attempt
to defend his pal Silva, so that we might
be able to recognize our friend when we
saw him. Thanks to Ambrose he is quite
welcome for the ride, was sure glad to have
him but am sorry to say that the "damned
little submarine" is now out of order.
I did not mention hazing or pen names in
my letter; then why should the editor call
my attention to the Plainsman's policy on
hazing and say a few bright things about
monkeys. I came into possession of a
letter that was thrown on the floor in Ram­say
hall, this letter was the start of a fair
reply to my letter in regards to anonymous
letter writing but I am sorry to say that
our editor resorted to two or three at­tempts
to razz me along with Mr. Kahn.
I am glad to say that if it were necessary
I could give the names of my ancestors
with their collar sizes without tracing back
to a family tree. Now is the monkey in the
cage any more to be spurned than the one
that puts him there?
As I said before, with all due respect to
the users of pen names I do still object to
the classification of the two distinctly dif­ferent
classes, anonymous letter writers
and pnuedonyms. Sam Jones the noted
Methodist evangelist from Cartersville,
Ga. once said in an address delivered in
Birmingham, Ala. "A non de plume sign­ed
to an anoymous letter is a buzzard with
the tail feathers pulled out."
Saturday, Oct. 27, I had to work with
the Auburn Constables down at the Gym
during the Auburn-Howard game. I was
fortunate enough to be able to see part of
the game from the balcony window. Every­thing
looked a little mixed up out on
Drake field but I could always tell when
Auburn had the Ball as one of Mr. Silva's
Freshman yokels rang a cow bell to let the
world know that Auburn was right. I am
sure glad that some of our new students
were thoughtful enough to bring a few cow
bells when they left the farm to come to
Auburn.

Prexy's Paragraphs
Editor The Plainsman,
Plainsman Office,
Auburn, Ala.
Dear Mr. Editor:
I have read with interest the comment
on my last letter published in the Plains­man
a few days past. It seems to me that
someone considered my letter as an at­tack
on the use of pen names rather than
an objection to the publication of anony­mous
letters such as Mr. Silva's letter crit­icizing
the Auburn Spirit according to the
public conception. I still mantain that
Mr. Silva spoke a bit too freely as to his
own opinion of our honorable first year
students and that the editor should not
have taken issue with either of the cor­respondents
as in the case of Mr. Pro­vost's
agreement with Silva's radical and
plain spoken letter.
I have the utmost respect for the writ­ings
of George Elliot, William Sidney Por­ter,
Samuel L. Celmens, Alexei Maximo-vitch
and all other users of the so called
"romantic non deplume". If it is a fair
question may I ask, Arc the works of Mr.
Silva as published in the Plainsman com­parable
with those of Washington Irving
and Charles Dickens? Our honorab'e edi­tor
ceems to think so. Irving and the rest
were writing .fiction and philosophy not for
the fun of writing but rather for the
bread and butter that they received in re-

Saturday I saw the finest proof that a
team and a college may suffer a technical
defeat and yet experience a sense of not
being really defeated. Our team played
the best game of the year in many respects
and especially is this true of the defense.
It also showed the greatest real football
drive of the year when it marched steadily
down the field. However the greatest
thing was "fighting spirit." I felt proud
that even the newspapers, who, generally
• speaking, have not been any too kind to
Auburn's football team, were impressed
with this spirit as I was. So in spite of
the breaks of the game going against us,
it was a good showing. We ought to be
encouraged; team and student body did
well.
And the band—Why is it that one is
always so proud of dignity and fine manly
bearing. What I like about OUR BAND
is that it marches like real men and does
not "strut". A clown may be all right
dressed as a clown and performing like one
in a clown's place but I do not think he
looks well in a band uniform at the head
of a real band. I like our dignified, splen­did,
real military band without the "goose-step."

Write home and especially to your
mothers regularly. I had a letter from a
mother the other day saying that she felt
sure her boy was all right but he had for­gotten
to write her for three weeks and
she was very anxious about him. Fathers
and mothers—yes, very especially, mothers
—deserve a great deal of thought, consid­eration
and an infinite amount of real
love. You will never know what sacrifices
mothers make for sons and daughters until
in your day and generation it comes your
time to stand in their place and yearn over
your own sons and daughters. Write home,
it is the best institution in America. Write
your mothers, you will never have a better
friend or one willing to give more than
your own mother. Write your father once
in a while for I know that they take pride
in their sons; write them of your work, of
your appreciation of your parents. There
is always hope of a boy who loves a good
mother and father.

PAGE AND STAGE ^
It's a difficult thing to keep in touch
with what's new on the New York stage,
especially when one only gets up there
two or three times in his life and then
spends most of those visits racing up to
Grant's Tomb, or down to the Woolworth
Tower, or in to Texas Guinan's. Books,
the movies, and the phonograph are often
our only means of contact. Of course
Jack Dempsey's name is not totally un­known,
and it may be worthwhile to know
that statistics reveal his show "The Big
Fight" as a total flop. His scheduled tour
of the road seems to have been abandoned,
and he is contemplating a shot at vaude­ville.
Only one prizefighter seems to have
made a go of it as an actor; that was "Gen-interest
you.
The most important non-musical an­nouncement
for this week in the theatre is
the new Gordon Craig production or "ar­rangement"
of Mr. Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Margaret Anglin, who played Shaw's "Can­dida"
in Montgomery last season, will play
Lady Macbeth. The arrangement is said
to start from the thesis that the play deals
with the supernatural; thus the settings and
costumings all point toward a thoroughly
supernatural tone.
* * * * *
If you're interested in machinery and
its important part in the present day life
of man, perhaps you had better read
Charles A. Beard's "Whither Mankind" an-tleman
Jim" Corbett. Other athletes, out- | nounced for release this week by Long-side
the fight game, have been attracted
by the theatre. "Babe" Ruth seems to
have done pretty well w^ith vaudeville.
Johnny Mack Brown and Fob (or was it
Eb?) James were both well liked in their
initial appearances in the movies. "Red"
Grange seems to be in evidence less fre­quently,
but Charlie Paddock seems to
have no trouble in getting smaller parts in
support of such glittering stars as Bebe
Daniels, etc.
One of the big events of the week in
New York will be the production of "This
Year of Grace," a musical show with an
all-English cast including Beatrice Lillie,
who, temporarily, in our mind, is the
^greatest, all-time comedienne. Watch for
the announcements of her phonograph rec­ords.
New song hits are bound to come
from the new Gertrude Lawrence show
"Treasure Girl" with a musical score by
George Gershwin. The new Ziegfield show,
too, should give us some head-running
tunes. Donaldson and Kahn are doing the
songs, and Donaldson is the man who
wrote "Blue Heaven." If you are a "Two
Black Crows" fiend, Moran and Mack's
going in to the new Earl Carrol show might
man's Green. The study is said to "exam­ine
the tendencies of our machine age."
It sells for three dollars.
Perhaps you have helped E. Haldeman-
Julius sell his Little Blue Books which
may be had for five cents the book. He
has just written a book revealing that the
sales to date on these little books have
reached the staggering total of One Hun-t
dred Million. One Hundred Million at
five cents the copy! From his statistics
has been found the reading taste of the
American public. The taste may be divided
into three grand parts: First, books deal­ing
with sex and love; second, those deal­ing
with self-improvement; and -third,
books of humor dealing with fun and
laughter. Of the Shakespere plays,
Romeo and Juliet sells 14,500 copies every
year. Books titled "How To Improve Your
Conversation" and "How to Improve Your
Vocabulary" sell over 150,000 copies every
year.
Our final warning is that you're just
nobody at all—you're just not in it, if you
haven't read and aren't ready to discuss
with the enamored ones, "John Brown's
Body."

THE PLAINSMAN make-up man made
a momentous error a week or two
ago; he wrote a head-line which im­plied
that the Ag Club was opposed to
hazing. The impression might have got­ten
out that the club was a modern, pro­gressive,
intelligent, thinking organization;
that the members were in favor of a re­form
which is necessary for Auburn's
progress. But the vigilant Reporter was
on the job. He has fallen all over himself
in his haste to correct that impression; he
assures us that the Ag club is not a pro­gressive,
intelligent, modern college or­ganization.
He has rushed to uphold the
honor and good name of his Club; no one
shall accuse the Ag Club of progressive-ness
while he is on the lookout for its good
name. The Ag Club is not opposed to haz­ing;
it is still an ordinary Ag Club.

IS THE FOLLOWING statement true?
"It is now more or less generally ac­knowledged
that the only things artistic
that have sprung from American soil and
out of American life, and have been uni­versally
recognized as distinctively Ameri­can
products, are the folk creations of the
Negro." How about this, "I do not think
it too much so say that through artistic
achievement the Negro has found a means
of getting at the very core of the prejudice
against him, by challenging the Nordic su­periority
complex."?
These remarks occur in an article by
James Weldon Johnson in the November
Harpers. Johnson is widely known through
his book of Negro sermons in poetry,
"God's Trombones." The article, which
deals with the Negro in American Art, is
very interesting. Another article in the
same magazine which interested me is en­titled
"The Great God Football." Some
startling facts are related, and some seri­ous
conclusions are reached by the author.
He quotes some figures and facts which
illustrate the tremendous importance which
we have attached to football. I didn't start
out to advertise a magazine, but while I'm
about it I might mention John Macy's
"Logic and the Ladies," "Democracy Holds
its Ground" by Charles A. Beard, and a
short story by Stephen Vincent Binet, au­thor
of the much-discussed John Brown's
Body," all of which appear in the current
Harpers's.

AND THE CLASS of 1932 has elected *
a "bull-rat" as its president. He is
a football player, of course. Thus
the latest class starts its career at Auburn.
I think that there should be eleven class
offices, so that the formality of an elec­tion
could be dispensed with. It would be
much easier to just take the men who make
the first string rat team and let them di­vide
the offices up among themselves. The
coaches could thus choose the class offices
when they choose the team. Simple. Two
birds with one stone. And no one would
be left out. As it is, they only elect four
officers. This leaves seven football play­ers.
They must feel left out. In my plan
the whole team would be rewarded, and
all would be given an office. Then the
class could start out in its sophomore year
and choose its officers after getting ac­quainted
with the men. I think that my
idea is a pretty good one.
I HAVEN'T heard any moral lessons
drawn from the lives of the Graf Zep-plin
operators yet. Surely they suc­ceeded
because they were good little boys
once upon a time. A few months ago we
were being shown why Lindbergh succeeded
and Ruth Elder failed. Has that line lost
its novelty?
TO YOUTH
This I say to you:
Be arrogant, Be true,
True to April lust that sings
Through your veins. These sharp springs
Matter most. . . Afteryears
Will be time enough for sleep. . . .
Carefulness. . . and tears. . . .
Now, while life is raw and new,
Drink it clear, drink it deep.
Let the moonlight's lunacy
Tear away your cautions. Be
Proud and mad, and young, and free.
Grasp a comet, kick at stars
Laughingly! Fight! Dare!
Arms are soft, breasts are white,
Magics in the April night—
Never fear, Age will catch you,
Slow you down, ere it dispatch you
To your long and solemn quiet. . . .
What will matter then the riot
Of the lilacs in the wind?

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1928 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE THREE
AUBURN MAN WRITES LETTER
FROM CHILE, SOUTH AMERICA
Every day, it seems, the name of
an Auburn man figures prominently
in some notable event. Now a scien­tist,
now a giant of the business world,
now an Auburn engineer, becomes fa­mous.
Recently in The Birmingham
News there appeared a most inter­esting
article, the prominent figure
in which was Gurley Burgin, graduate
in architecture at Auburn in the Class
of '17. The feature story, "Vagabond
Tells How His Retreat in the Moun­tains
Came into Being," was written
by Milford W. Howard, formerly a
powerful figure in state and national
politics.
Mr. Howard tells how the genius of
Burgin realized Lady Vivian's (as Mr.
Howard Calls his wife) dream of a
hunting lodge to be built of logs along
Swiss-Alpine lines on the high stone
cliff overlooking the falls of De Coto
in northern Alabama. Today this
"dream child" stands on the spot men­tioned
above, one of the most unique,
original, picturesque lodges in Ala­bama.
while there are some from Asia; near­ly
all these are of Nordic blood.
"So, here I am seeing, as you would
see nowhere else, the contrast of the
Nordic and the Latin and it is not so
favorable to the latter. Things I see
here cause me to realize more and
more the necessity of preserving our
antive stock of the Southland, and I
heartily endorse the campaign you
are making in that effort.
"Though the Chelian has no negro
blood in his veins, he is of a mixed
race, which means he is a mongrel
and he seems to have acquired many
of the worst traits of the parent races.
Honesty is one thing that is sadly
missing and they are born thieves who
steal anything they can move or con­ceal.
Chile's Largest Nitrate Plant
"Here in Maria Elena is located the
largest nitrate plant in Chile, as well
as the largest natural products plant
in the world. The Anglo-Chilean has
installed an entirely new process of
j extracting from that formerly used in
Mr. Howard says of the work of [ Chile. The 'caliche' or ore of the ni-
Burgin in designing and building the t r a t e i s m i n e d b v l a l"Se electric shovels
lodge:
"This work on the part of Gurley
Burgin was a gift, a labor of love. We
had no money with which to pay
him, and if we had been able to hire
an architect he would not have done
what he did for us at all. I be­lieve
he has been blessed already for
this unselfish service, and I believe
other blessings are still coming to
him. Of one thing I am sure: Gurley
Burgin will pass along to humanity
the blessings that come to him in God's
providence and the world will be the
better for his having lived."
Also he publishes a varied and vi­tally
interesting letter from Gurley
Burgin. In it Burgin gives a sketch
of his life since he saw Mr. Howard.
As the author of the article said,
"I know that my readers are getting
impatient for the letter, so here it is:"
"The Birmingham News comes to
me in this far away place, and one
of the interesting things I find in it
are your weekly vagabond stories.
They carry me back to dear old Look­out
Mountain spots where I spent such
a happy week several years ago.
"I remember the great rock which
you described in one of your articles,
and old Granny Dollar calling her
dog, Buster, as well as the little brown
hen.
"I can still feel the cool, clear
water of the old 'pot hole' as it closed
over my head after a dive from those
rocks under the high bluff where the
Alpine Lodge stands. That week is
one of my dearest memories and Al­pine
Lodge is one of the first spots
I shall visit when I again get back
home.
He Begins New Life
"A year ago I sailed out of New
York Harbor for Chile for three years,
on a contract with the Anglo-Chilean
Nitrate Corporation. I landed in To-copilla
on Aug. 29, and began a new
life, it seems.
"Though there are some 200 'grin-goes'
or non-Spanish people in this
town of Maria Eleria, we are sur­rounded
by people who only speak
Spanish, descendants of the conquis-tadores,
and the native Indian races,
a people with a slight exterior civil­ization,
but at heart are still bar-barians.
"Among the 'gringoes' nearly all
the nations of Europe are represented,
and shipped in to the mill over a
railway using electric locomotives. In
the mill the ore is crushed and screen­ed
and then placed in large concrete
vats where the nitrate is brought out
by running over the crushed ore a
saline solution. This resulting solu­tion
is then cooled in large refrigerat­ing
tanks to the point where the ni­trate
is about ready to crystallize and
fall out by solution. Then it goes to
the centrifugal machines which whirl
the material around at a high speed
which throws out all the water and
leaves the pure white sodium nitrate
of 'salitre.'
"This resulting sodium nitrate is in
such fine crystals that it readily ab­sorbs
water, which causes it to form
a hard, solid lump in a bag and even
makes the bag stick together. To
prevent this happening they are build­ing
an additional unit to the plant
which will melt the finished nitrate
in large crucibles and spray it into
the air in high towers, somewhat like
the old shot tower. This will result
in a finely grained product which will
not absorb water so readily, and will
have more the character of the prod­uct
of the old system.
Hopes Alabama Will Profit
"This company is planning to place
nitrate on the market at such a price
than any farmer can afford to use it,
and I am hoping that our Alabama
farmers profit from what is being
done here.
"I am hoping I can have some little
part in carrying the message to our
people when I return to Alabama be­cause
it seems to me the future of
our state is in the hands of its country
people.
"I read the accounts of your jour­ney
to Europe with the greatest in­terest
and only wish that I could fol­low
the same road. I am learning
quite a bit about Europe and its peo­ple
from those representatives we have
here.

Irishman from the Free State, whose
grandfather was a soldier in the Fed­eral
army in our War Between the
States. The grandfather taught his

Warner Stresses
Trustworthy Planes
That the wheezing and coughing
"collegiate" Ford must not have its
sister conveyance in the air, is the
warning of Mr. Edward P. Warner,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy in
charge of aviation. Mr. Warner, in
an address before the Third Inter­collegiate
Aviation Conference at
Yale, pointed out the danger of fly­ing
with any but trustworthy planes.
College men are beginning to take
to the air in appreciable numbers.
The Hai-vard Flying Club and that at
the University of Southern Califor­nia
are two of the most advanced
student groups. The latter already
owns several planes. European stu­dents,
however, surpass the Ameri­cans
in flying. One of the speakers
at the conference cited a meeting in
the Rhone River section last August
where 400 planes were entered. Eight
hundred pilots took part, ninety per
cent of which were college men. Col­lege
men won all of the prizes.
The popularity of flying has added
a new prohibition to the list of "thou
shalt nots" of the Wellesley College
Handbook. The dean's office issued
the edict that, "no student while un­der
the jurisdiction of the college
may ride in an aeroplane unless per­mission
has been granted from the
den's office and the written consent
of her parents secured."
The problem of chaperotiage has
not yet been settled.

"The presidential election in the

amazement at the very thought
of a son of a truck driver and the son

They all agree that the United States

of them are planning on going there

and all its great opportunities, of how

John Heisman, former football
mentor at Auburn, whence he went
to become head coach at Georgia
Tech for several years, is writing a
series of grippingly interesting stories
of his coaching career. In the last
week's issue of Collier's there ap­peared
the fifth of this series, "Rules
Rush In," in which he delates the oc­casions
that gave rise to many of the
now vitally important rules in foot­ball.
In several instances he men­tions
incidents in Auburn football
games. In telling how the rules gov-ering
recovery of a fumbled ball
came into existence, he says:
Years ago, while my Alabama Poly
team was playing Georgia Tech, the
Alabama fullback punted. The ball
did not travel five yards in the direc­tion
of the Tech goal but it probably
broke all altitude records.
That ball went straight into the
air, and so far up that before it had
begun to descend the entire 22 play­ers
were milling around awaiting its
arrival. As the ball came down the
milling became a riot. And matters
were complicated by. a youth on the
crowded and highly agitated sidelines.
Thinking perhaps to add a bit to
the fun, this lad booted a cheap ball
into the fray. It came down on the
edge of the battling players and al­most
simultaneously with the real
ball.
Things were still further compli­cated
by the fact that it was a dry
day in a particularly arid spell. The
dust lay two inches deep on the field.
And with the stampeding of the 22
players and the furor on the side
lines the air was heavy and opaque.
The players divided their atten­tions.
One mass fought for the real
ball while the other assaulted each
other for possession of the false.
And to make it all the more exciting
the two balls soon were widely sepa­rated.
The dust storm kept each
group oblivious of the progress of
the other.
Presently both balls were captured.
Matthew Sloan, now president of the
New York Edison Company, had one
of them. The wrong one. A Tech
man was on the right one.
In those brave days there was no
rule prohibiting the coach from going
on the field and taking part in argu­ments.
I heard the referee rule "first
down for Tech" and was at his side
before the echo had died.
"Why first down?" I demanded.
"They haven't gained their five
yards."
"Yes," said he, "but this was a
free fumble and that means first
down no matter which team gets it."
"Free fumble," I roared. "Why,
man there hasn't been any such term
since Noah played the game. There's
nothing in the rules today about a
free fumble. Tech kicked and Tech
recovered. Also Tech had five yards
to gain and hasn't made it. Poly
touched the ball several times during
the scramble, but we never had pos­session.
It was never in our control.
Therefore they've had it for the full
number of downs and they haven't
made their distance. Give us the
ball."
"Stand back", said the referee.
There ate no such words as possession
and control in the book. Poly touch­ed
the ball and that gave them con­structive
possession. First down for
Tech."
I lost the argument but I won my
point—later. I wrote a letter to the
rules committee and that august body
wrote my contentions into the rules
for the following season. So now,
as you watch the game, you may see
for yourself that when a fumbled ball
is recovered by the team which fum­bled,
it counts as a down. Unless,
of course, the required distance to
first down is made in the excitement.
One of Auburn's plays in an Au-burn-
Vanderbilt game was one of the
causes of the formulation of rules
prohibiting the hidden-ball plays.
Heisman says:
Long ago Alabama Poly played a
concealed ball trick on Vanderbilt,
much to the latter's disgust too. Early
in the second half the Alabama lads
wheeled out of scrimmage into a
swirling formation — a revolving
wedge—inside of which was Rey­nolds
Ticenor, their quarterback,
holding the ball.
The moment the milling started,
Tichenor stuffed the ball under the
front of his jersey. The mass around
him disintegrated, the players scurry­ing
to wide and varied parts of the
field and with them went the Van­derbilt
men who had industriously
been trying to break up the wedge.
Only Tichenor remained and he, ap­parently,
was out of the play. He
was on one knee, busy at tying his
shoe lace.
But when the Vanderbilt team was
as widely spread as his own, Tichenor
arose and nonchalantly catfooted
down the field for a deceitful touch­down.
Today there may be no hiding on
the side lines. Your players must be
out on the field without disguise and
in plain view where they may be
counted for and accounted for.
AUBURN FRESHMEN TACKLE
TULANE FROSH SATURDAY
By Dick Jones
Coach R. C. "Red" Brown and his
"Rat" aggregation will face the Tu-lane
"Rats" in the "Village of the
Plains" Saturday Nov. 10 in the
fourth battle the "Baby" Tigers have
had this season. With only one more
gridiron game left for these Plains­men
to play this fall, and under the
Freshmen gridiron colors of Orange
and Blue, they are going to enter the
scrap with renewed enthusiasm and
high expectations of being victorious.
The Auburn Freshmen won their
first tilt from the Birmingham-South­ern
Freshmen, 25-2, but lost their
next two to Florida and Georgia Tech
Freshmen. The scores being 7-0 and
20-7 respectively. The Tigers in­jury
list hurt them considerably in
their last two games. Some of their
best ball toters were out of each game.
The "Rat" Plainsmen mentor will
make two major changes for this
game with the "Rat" Tulane Greenies.
Davidson, who has been a flashing
halfback and a hard plunging full in
the past three games, has been shifted
to end for all the scrimmages this
week and has held it down in fine
style. He will start the game at one
flank with probably Jones on the
other. The other change that has
been made was the shifting of Simp-kins
from guard to tackle. Simpkins I
held down left guard in the first and
second games but received three
broken ribs in the second game and
was unable to take part in the Tech
game. Hamilton and Kincaid will
probably hold down the guards this
Saturday. Opposite Simpkins will
be hefty left tackle, Holdcraft. Hold-craft
has held down this tackle in
all the games so far. He has shown
great progress everyt week and if he
keeps it up he will more than likely
hop in the vacant shoes of captain
Carter next year.
Frock Pate is back at his post regu­lar
now after being unable to take
part in the Birmingham-Southern and
Florida games, and only a little part
of the Tech tilt. Pate is Coach
Brown's most dependable ground
gainers and will add extra strength
to his team this Saturday.
Other backfield men who will prob­ably
start the battle are, "Firpo"
Smith, F. L. Young, and Phillips or
Tamplin. All these Freshmen grid-ders
have been hard workers all sea­son
and have put their whole heart
and soul in the fight. They have not
all been on the opening lineups so
far this season but have seen plenty
of service in the past three games
and will be able to give the Tulane
Greenies plenty of trouble to worry
over for quite a while.

Tigers Show Great Improvement Holding Georgia Bulldogs to 13-0 Score
SLIPPERY BALL SPOILS TIGERS
CHANCE TO SCORE ON GEORGIA
By Howard Sparks
Although our Tigers came out of
the fracas holding the little end of
the 13 to 0 score, they were credited
with a moral victory. Coach B&hler
promised the students a better team
each week end. He has more than
filled the promise. Last Saturday
the Tiger eleven flashed a running
attack that kept the Bulldogs in a
nervous state of mind. Crawford
and Tuxworth were skirting ends and
ripping off tackle while Sellers con­fined
his ripping and plunging to
the center of the line. The Tigers
presented a much improved line.
Shorty and Grady Long, and Harkins
proved themselves towers of strength
by constantly breaking through and
flipping the Bulldog backs for losses.
Tuxworth and Sellers were the de­fensive
piers in the Tiger backfield.
Sellers was accredited with the best
defensive on the field.
In Rothstein and Dudley Georgia
presented two of the hardest running
backs seen this year. Rothstein led
the Georgians in yards gained from
scrimmage. This Mr. Dudley's gal­loping
style of running proved quite
an asset to him. He seems to be
studying our Mr. Shirey's style of
lifting his legs out of the tacklers
arms.
In summary Georgia was credited
with 14 first downs to the Tigers 12.
Sellers led in longest run his being
a 50 yard return of a kick-off. Roth-stein's

GRID REVIEW AND FUTURES
By "OSWALD"
• Saturday's dish was filled with ex­citement
even though the probable
winner came through in nearly
every instance. But an exception to
this, even though this correspondent
picked them to do, was the trouncing
of Clemson by Ole Miss. Two mud-ders,
Gerald Walker and Tadpole
Smith spelled disaster for the highly
touted Mountain Tiger team of Josh
Cody's.
The Golden Tornado of Georgia
Tech started out to make a tea party
of the game with Oglethorpe Satur­day
but one Father Lumpkin was not
instructed as to this. And therefore
the fur did fly. Dunlop and Thoma-son
were also shining lights. However
Oglethorpe played heads up football,
outplaying Tech the first half, and
had their reserve strength been more
plentiful the game might have been
much closer. The Tech defense was
very ragged at times.
That ton of Dynamite, namely
Bill Schwartz in connection with his
running' mate, Jimmy Armistead,
evicted Kentucky from the ranks of
undefeated Southern Conference
teams in a dramatic grid battle.
Armistead again displayed his excel­lent
generalship and made another
long run of 55 yards. Schwartz
seldom fails to gain. Covington,
brother of the famous "Flash" Cov­ington
of Centre, was an outstanding
player and will deal Alabama fits.
McGugin's team was a trife overcon­fident
but will hit Tech Saturday
primed to a perfection. The cyclonic
rush of the Commodores will be
matched against a highly touted de­fense.
This correspondent believes
that Vandy will win.
A team that has almost averaged
a point a minute namely the Florida
Gators ran roughshod over Sewanee
Saturday. This was the second time
that Florida has soared into the 70
column and this time with their two
honors for they play as many Confer­ence
teams as either Tech or Vandy
and does not play either team. Geor­gia
wil be defeated by them Satur­day.
McEver and Hackman, 'Touchdown
Twins' of Tennessee's Volunteers
started a small cyclone against Car­son
Newman Saturday. The two
great Vol backs were in the game less
than ten minutes but during this time
scored two touchdowns each. Mc­Ever
made another long run of 43
yards.
Auburn played one of the best
games witnessed in Columbus in re­cent
years Saturday. And it was a
good thing that Georgia scored when
they did for they were outplayed the
last half by a very determined Tiger.
The Tigers made three desperate
drives that showed future potentiali­ties.
And that same eleven of Coach
Bohler's will give Billy Banker and
his team enough to worry about this
coming Saturday and the Tigers will
probably bring home the bacon.
Other games: Alabama in a crip­pled
condition limited Wisconsin to
a 15 to 0 win; Arkansas defeated L.
S. U. in the last minute of play; V.
P. I. won from Maryland by a touch­down
and field goal in first quarter;
Miss. A. & M. found themselves in
time to tie Michigan State; the N. C.
State and N. C. University classic
ended in a tie; Banker starred as
Tulane bumped Millsaps; V. M. I. won
over a fighting team from Davidson
without the services of their captain
and star; Virginia surprised Wash.
& Lee in the firest period and won.
Pardon me if I seem vain just here
but who wouldn't be after picking
Ole Miss to beat Clemson and Arkan­sas
to win over L. S. U. when nearly
every other sports writer in the south
picked opposite . Also out of the 14
Southern Conference games predict­ed
picked 10 winners correctly, lost
Scenes from Georgia-Auburn Grid Clash in Columbus Saturday PASSES STRESSED AS AUBURN
PREPS FOR GAME WITH TULANE
By Dick Jones
While the Auburn Varsity Tigers
are encountering the Tulane Varsity
Greenies in New Orleans this Sat­urday
the "Baby" Tigers will meet
the "Baby" Greenies in the "Village
of the Plains" and from all dope
available it is not known as to what
the outcome will be.
Coach George M. Bohler has been
speaking highly of the fighting spirit
of the Auburn Tigers against the
Howard Bulldogs and the Georgia
both straightaway heaves.
This game ends the contract which
Auburn and Tulane signed to play
three sraight games in New Orleans,
so if they meet again next year it will
probably be staged on the Auburn
Campus.
The first game Auburn played Tu­lane
was in 1906. Auburn beat them
33 to 0 to win the only game that
Auburn won that year. But the Ti­gers
scored 42 points to their oppon­ents
41 that year. Auburn has de-
Bulldogs the past two Saturdays and i feated Tulane four times while the

Over Fort Benning Eleven 45 to 0
By Dick Jones
Coach "Slick" Moulton's Auburn
Tiger scrubs turned back Fort Ben-ning's
fighting Army gridders in the
third mock battle this season by rush­ing
and passing their way to a 45-0
victory to hold a clean slate against
them for the three games. Scores of
the first" two games were 25-0 and
26-0.
First downs were few and far be­tween.
The scrubs made 6 while the
Army lads made 5. Frequent penal­ties
kept the Tigers from making
more first downs than they did. They
were penalized some 90 yards while
the rough shod warriors were penal­ized
less than 25 yards.
Failing to score in the first quar
ter, the scrubs scored twice in the
second and third, and three times in
the fourth. Jones passed 8 yards to
Chamblee on the 40-yard line and
Chamblee made a broken field run
for the remaining 40 yards for the
scrubs first score. The scrubs block­ed
a kick on the Army's 10-yard line
and recovering they carried it over
the zero mark/in two plays with
Jones drop-kicking for the extra
aces—Cannonball Crabtree and Tom-1 on 2 and 2 were tied. Outside South

"Oswald's" Pick
This week's pick will be hard in­deed
and several will disagree but
the games will come out as predicted
in nearly every instance.

point and their second score.
Lawrence Chamblee ran rough
shod over the Benning gridders in the
third and fourth quarter scoring the
next three touchdowns by 13, 55, and
5 yard runs respectively. The 13-
yard run was straight through Fort
Bennings forward wall, and the last
one was a pass which Chamblee re­ceived
from Malone on the 5-yard
marker. Claude Frazier scored the
sixth and seventh touchdowns by a
50-yard run and a 15-yard run re­spectively.
He intercepted one of
Benning's passes on the 50-yard line
and carried it over the goal line with
four Benning men on his heels. The
last score which Frazier made was a
triple pass to the left and he went
around the end. These Auburn scrub
gridders could be called the coming
Tigers of the Plains. They played the
hardest game any Auburn Tiger team
has attempted to play this year. Not
once did they slack up in their hard
drive, started out with in the first
play. Every Tiger on the field knew
what he was supposed to do and did
it at all times. The Plainsmen's for­ward
wall held steady throughout the
four periods, breaking through their
opponents line time and time again
to throw them for bad losses. At
one time these Tigers threw them for
a twenty yard loss on two successive
plays. "Big Boy" Scott, Captain
Kirkwood, Sheehan, Gerber, and Hill
held down the center of the line in
fine style. The ends also played a
great game, McLeskey being the out­standing
one. They seemed to plant
themselves in the center of Benning's
backfield on every play.
The Army Lads made several nice
gains but never once did they come
within scoring distance. Blackstone,
the Army's right half, was their best
man, but he was forced out of the
game in the last quarter when he_.was
knocked out by three Tigers hitting
him just as he picked up a fumbled
ball.
Wingo returned a punt of 40 yards
as the game ended for the longest
returned punt of the evening. At
this the Tigers were doing their best

attention this week than any other
department. Bohler is going to give
the Greenies a real taste of his pass­ing
plays this Saturday for he has
had his Tigers doing nothing but
passing in the scrimmages this past
week. Without a doubt, it was his
passes that swamped the Howard
College Saturday before last. The
Plainsman scored their first two
touchdowns on passes. The first
pass was thrown 23 yards by Tux­worth
to Ingram, who caught it on
the Bulldogs 40-yard line and carried
it over their goal line with two How­ard
gridders right behind him. The
second pass netted 6 yards which was

over the goal line by Alt. Captain

The battle of the century will take
place in Atlanta this week, when the
fast flying Commodores from Van­derbilt
meet the "Golden Tornado"

I feel confident that the vic­torious
element in this battle will no
doubt ascend unmolested to the cov­eted
pinnacle of championship dome

boasts of victories over such
oustanding football machines as Col-ference

week he ran 5 miles against Tech in
26 minutes and 30 seconds. Besides
Young, Georgia has a number of
other good runners who will face Au­burn.
The Tigers, six strong, will leave
here Friday morning at ten o'clock,
arriving in Athens Friday night and
running Saturday afternoon. The
following are making the trip this
week: Helms, Teague, Pitts, Shanks,
McLendon, and Hicks. This is the
same order in which they placed in
try outs that have been so far. All
of these men have been showing up
well and are making even better time
than they made last year.

Montgomery, Alabama
A college professor has distinguish­ed
himself by finding a use for the
cribber.
Unknown to themselves, 30 success­ful
cheaters at Colgate university
were studied by Prof. H. C. Brownell,
and used as laboratory specimens,
showing the mental and emotional
traits of college men who cheat at
examinations—and get away with it.
Information about the 30 was ob­tained
by underground and unofficial
channels, Professor Brownell states in
reporting his investigation. None of
the cheaters were caught even by a
severe proctoring system.
Eighty per cent of the group were
found to be more psychroneurotic, or
emotionally unstable than the campus
average. More than half fell below
the college average in intelligence, and
the majority belonged to the type
known as psychological extroverts—
that is, good social mixers and more
inclined to activity than thinking.
"Contrasted with the student body
the cribber becomes a psychological
'type,' " Professor Brownell concludes.
"His low intelligence may make cheat­ing
somewhat of a necessity. His ex­troversion
may operate to further this.
His emotional instability make it eas­ier
for the spirit to succumb under the
twofold necessity."
More than half the college cheating
would be eliminated if this psycholog­ical
type could be eliminated, accord­ing
to Prof. Brownell. With the
general type would go most of the
"all-around" college men who shine in
team and track contests, glee clubs,
dramatic productions, and other book­less
college activities, the professor
believes.
Dairy Team Will
Journey To England
As a result of placing first in the
national dairy cattle judging contest
at Memphis, recently, members of the
Oklahoma A. & M. college dairy cat­tle
judging team will represent the
United States at the English Royal
Livestock show at London the second
week of next July.
Members of the team are Forrest
Burns of Hillsdae, Harold Woodson of
Comache, and Holland Williams of
Altus. A. C. Baer, professor of dairy­ing
and coach of the team, will also
make the trip.
Leaving the United States for Eng­land
sometime during the early part of
next April, members of the team will
spend two months there getting fully
acquainted with the English cattle
and methods of dairying, preparatory
to the competition in July.
Williams, Burns and Woodson com­peted
against teams from 26 states,
and according to officials, they com­posed
a very efficient team.

DR. KNAPP ADDRESSES STATE
PARENT-TEACHERS CONVENTION
Addressing the State Congress of
Parents and Teachers in convention
in Tuscaloosa Nov. 1, Dr. Bradford
Knapp declared the problem of rural
education is a problem not alone for
rural folks but also for those residing
in the largest cities and towns. By
this he concluded that the educa­tional
problems are universal, and
that they should be approached and
studied from a state-wide viewpoint
rather than from a local viewpoint.
As evidence of this conclusion Dr.
Knapp presents census figures show­ing
that only 39.2 per cent of the
urban population of Alabama was un­der
20 years of age in 1920, while
52.2 per cent of the rural population
was under 20 years of age.
"On the other hand," said Dr.
Knapp, "in ages from 20 to 44 in­clusive
we find 43.6 per cent of the
urban population of Alabama and
only 31.3 per cent of the rural popu­lation,
which means that the children
of the farm have gone to the city
to make their abode; and that they
have left after the age of 20 years."
The natural conclusion from this
is that good schools for rural sec­tions
mean better educated citizens
for the cities because of the steady
drift of young men and young wo­men
from rural sections to cities and
towns. If rural education is neglect­ed
it will be reflected later in the
education of urban population, he
said.
In his address Dr. Knapp showed
conclusively that the citizens of the
richest county in the state are in­terested
in the education of the boys
and girls in the poorest and most
backward county . Aside from their
becoming citizens of the city, educa­tion
also increases earning} power
and a greater earning power will be
reflected in greater business for the
cities, regardless of where all the
people live in the state, he declared.
Dr. Knapp corrected a statement
which has been made frequently to
the effect that Alabama is 70 per
cent agricultural and 30 per cent in­dustrial.
He pointed out that in real­ity
fewer than 50 per cent of the
people of Alabama live on farms. He
estimates that Alabama is about 30
per cent in commerce, trade and
transportation; a little less than 20
per cent engaged in industrial en­terprises,
while agriculture, includ­ing
timber, accounts for less than 50
per cent.
Continuing, he said: "There is a
great deal of talk about the indus­trialization
of Alabama and it is
worthwhile to contemplate the or­ganization
of the state to administer
to the needs of its- people, to work
out the problems of its own destiny.
I submit to you as teachers and par­ents
the problems of Alabama are
not to be solved by the mere harness­ing
of its streams; the introduction
of great industrial plants which ab­sorb
our interest to the exclusion of
everything else."
"No. I submit to you that a state
without the raw materials for manu-facturingj,
even though she has the
power and the labor and transporta­tion
facilities, will be sorely handi­capped
in competition with the state
which has these other things and also
the raw materials. The great com­monwealth
of North Carolina is
thinking in terms of a great agri-
Phone Bowling at 193 for a clean­ing
and pressing "Service that Satis­fies."
cultural development and if Alabama
does not so organize her develop­ments
as to lead to a richer and finer
agriculture and rural life, as well as
a wonderful industrial development,
she will fall far short of reaching the
ideal state of prosperity and happi­ness."
^'Industry must not be regarded as
a help to agriculture merely because
agriculture will sell food products
to mill workers but must be regarded
as a component part of the whole or­ganization
in that agriculture fur­nishes
the raw material for maufac-ture.
We cannot support our people
by passing dollars around a circle.
We must produce a great product for
gross sale and income from without.
It is estimated by different authori­ties
that of raw materials going into
the manufacturing in the United
States, from 60 to as high as 80 per
cent come from the farm, including
the timber interests of the country.
With the new developments in chemis­try,
which now takes cellulose, a prod­uct
obtained only from plants, and
converts it into rayon to make imita­tion
silk cloth and clothing, into pa­per
for our newspapers, boxes, etc.,
into wall board for our building ma­terial,
into synthetic lumber for build­ing
houses and furniture, into imita­tion
leather, into ornaments, and a
hundred and one things, the place of
agriculture becomes important especr
ially in a great state which has as
yet undeveloped resources in its power
to produce cellulose for the industries
of the world."
"And so our sons and our daughters
will have the task, in their day and
time, of getting hold of all this tre­mendous
mass of knowledge, of be­coming
trained as teachers, as pro­ducers,
as thinkers, as doers ,if they
are to take the knowledge of the
present and subdue the earth and
have dominion over it. I think that
when the Biblical injunction was given
that God intended that men should not
only subdue the earth and have do­minion
over it, but in that process
he should also subdue ihmself and
have dominion over himself."

TIME DISPOSITION
A time analysis study of the class
in "How to Study" showed an average
time distribution as follows:
Sleep - - 33.6%
Study, including class recitation 24.2
Miscellaneous 17.0
Meals 9.8
Recreation 7.4
Exercise 4.8
Reading, other than study 3.2
TOTAL .100.0 %
Forty-eight students, principally
frehmen and sophomores were includ­ed
in the study. It is interesting to
note that over twice as much time is
spent in eating than in exercising.
The average student in this class
spends about 20 hours per week in
class recitation and 20.6 hours in
study. This amounts to only 2.9 hours
of study daily on the basis of a seven
day week. It is believed that the
student reports were fairly accurate
as they were promised that their in­dividual
records would not be made
available to the faculty. The study
was conducted by Dr. R. L. Johns.

A PROCLAMATION
The people of the city of Auburn
have the greatest of admiration for
the splendid service given by her
sons and daughters in time of war.
They appreciate the heroic sacrifices
that have been made by the loyal men
and women who have so ably defend­ed
this great nation of ours in every
emergency.
Today we have in this city an or­ganization
composed of those who only
a decade ago were engaged in that
most glorious service. They served
their country well and when the war
was over they banded themselves into
The American Legion, determined to
continue the same service they gave
overseas. They dedicated their organ­ization
to "God and Country" and
immediately began that work which
has identified The American Legion
as one of the greatest patriotic forces
America has ever known.
One of the first tasks of the Legion
was to make provision for the relief
and rehabilitation of those who were
disabled. They looked after the wel­fare
of children who were left or­phans
by the war. Then they launch­ed
a great program of unselfish ser­vice
to community, state and nation.
Many activities were undertaken by
the Legion in an effort to serve the
people and the country.
This year the Legion, and the Le­gion
Auxiliary which is associated
with the Legion in its work, is anxious
that the 1929 program be started as
soon as possible. In order that the
full strength of the two organizations
can thus early be put to work on the
great objectives of the coming year,
the week of November 11 to 17 has
been set aside when every effort will
be made by the Legion and the Auxil­iary
to have paid up for 1928 the
dues of all who are 1928 members.
The citizens of Auburn are justly
appreciative of this peace time ser­vice
of the Legion and they are wililng
to contribute their efforts to the suc­cess
of the Legion program. It is
appropriate and fitting that the peo­ple
of this city should pledge full co­operation
to the Legion and Legion
Auxiliary in its membership program.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, W. D.
Copeland, Mayor of the City of Au­burn,
proclaim the week beginning
November 11 and ending November
17, as American Legion Week and
urge every citizen to encourage and
aid the Legion in enrolling members
for the coming year. Every World
War veteran, particularly he who has
not heretofore belonged to the Legion,
should take this opportunity of be­coming
associated in the great work.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the City of Auburn to be
effixed.
DONE, in the City of Auburn this
7th day of November, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and twenty-eight.

Interesting Debate On
Catching Rides Heard
Who said that Freshmen can't de­bate?
If one had ben in doubt about
it he should have attended the society
meeting Tuesday night. The topic
of discussion was "Resolved: that col­lege
authorities should pass a rule
prohibiting students from catching
rides by hailing passers-by." The
"Rats" speaking on the affirmative
side were Hutto, Watts, and Self.
Those speaking on the negative side
were Timbes, Elledge, and Evans.
Some very strong points were given
by both sides, and the society had to
hesitate about making any decision,
but finally the members decided that
the negatives had the most points and
the decision was given to them.
As it is nearing time for the de­clamation
contest, the Evans' con­testants
were given a chance to show
their skill as orators. Morphet Du-
Bose and J. R. Carreker, Jr., were the
speakers. They gave two interesting
talks that the audience enjoyed very
much.
Wilsonian Society
Holds Try Outs
The program rendered by the Wil­sonian
Literary Society Tuesday
night varied from the usual type of
program, in that the hour was de­voted
to the tryouts for the annual
declamation contest.
To say the program was interest­ing
means that the fellows put all
they, had into their parts. This they
did, thereby holding the attention of
the group until the strike of the
clock; which is rather unusual upon
an occasion of this kind.
From the above statements one can
imagine the difficulty facing the
judges in making their decision. After
much discussion the judges decided in
favor of Mr. Overton, with Rat Bash-eviMe
second. But this does not
mean that Overton excelled Bashe-ville
in many respects as the decision
was very, very close.
Three other fellows, Walsh, Pike,
and Plant deserve special recogni­tion
for the effort they put forth.

N. Y. U. In 1929
Following the dance given the Uni­versity
of Georgia by the Athletic as­sociation
of New York City Saturday,
October 20, New York newspapers
announced that the University of
Georgia and New York University
would play each other in the Yankee
stadium during the 1929 season. No
confirmation as yet can be obtained
from the University of Georgia au­thorities,

Duncan Represents
Alabama At Meeting
As one of two representatives from
Alabama on a special committee to
determine relations between Smith-
Lever extension workers and Smith-
Hughes vocational teachers, Prof. L.
N. Duncan, director, Alabama Exten­sion
Service of the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute, will attend a conference
in Washington, November 13-14. He
will leave Auburn on Monday morn­ing.
The other Alabama representative
is Dr. J. B. Hobdy, State Department
of Education, Montgomery. Dr. Hob­dy
is director of vocational education
in Alabama.
Because of the splendid relations
between these two divisions of educa­tional
work, Alabama was given two
representatives on the committee. In
this state the two forces not only
work without friction but supplement
2ach other so that each renders service
of maximum value. It is expected
that the conference will work out
feasible plans on relations which will
enhance the value of each in all states.

on the top floor of the Protective Life
Insurance Building is under way.
Those in charge are rushing the
work, hoping to see the station on the
air by early December, this date being
named as the date for opening sev­eral
weeks ago.
The new station will be outstand­ing
in many ways. In the first place
it will give Birmingham—and Ala­bama—
a radio station that will be
the equivalent of any other in the
South, and better than all now in
operation, with one or two exceptions.
The physical plant, including both
radio and station, will be the best in
quality. Both studio and station will
be show places. They will be a de­light
to all those interested in the
better things for Birmingham and for
Alabama.
The station itself is of the latest
equipment, being manufactured by the
Western Electric Company. The sta­tion
will have a power of 5000 watts
but the improved apparatus which is
included in it will give it a power at
least ten times the old 1000-watt sta­tions.
In addition to the boost in
power the quality of transmission has
been improved to the satisfaction and
delight of listeners.
The location of the studio is ideal
in many ways. More than half of
the top floor of the Protective Life
Insurance Company Building will be
used for radio purposes, including a
large studio, a small studio, a control
room, a reception room, and offices
for the manager and assistants. Pro­vision
is being made for entrance to
the outside balcony from which visi­tors
will get an excellent view of the
City of Birmingham.
That portion of the top floor not
used for studio is included in an au­ditorium
which will be used for ra­dio
purposes when needed. The part
used for radio will be designed es­pecially
for this purpose. Studios
and other rooms will be arranged for
convenience and also for beauty. The
best of studio equipment will be in­stalled.
Treatment of floors and
walls, together with curtains and dra­peries,
will be arranged by experts in
this field.
The new station is a result of radio
evolution in Alabama. Six years ago
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute be-gain
radio broadcasting with a small
station, which was a gift from Vic­tor
H. Hanson, publisher of the Bir­mingham
News and Age-Herald.
Later, the Alabama Power Com­pany
gave to the college station WSY,
which had been in operation in Bir­mingham.
This was dismantled and
moved to Auburn where it was re­assembled
and used for a time. It was
replaced by a new station WAPI
which was operated until recently.
Late in October it was sold to a con­cern
in Wisconsin where it will oper­ate
under diferent call letters, the
power being 1000 watts.
The installation of the new sta­tion
in Birmingham is the last step
in the progress of radio in Alabama.
It brings the state up to that which is
best in equipment and modern in de­sign.
