TIGERS OFF TO MEET TIGER OF
LOUISIANA IN MONTGOMERY
p i n s BUILDS UP
GOOD DEFENSIVE
TEAM FOR FRAY
New Style of Play is
Taught Team
OLD AUBURN MENTOR HAS
CHARGE LOUISIANA TEAM
Practically Same Lineup Will
Start Game
Following the resignation of David
B. Morey, "Boozer" Pitts began a new
system of coaching at the Fairest
Village of the Plains. As a result of
the first week of his teachings, a re­markable
reserve force has been or­ganized.
And a much better defen­sive
line-up has taken shape. Not
many changes will be seen in the per­sonnel
of the squad, but a new style
will be in vogue. The entire squad is
pitched for the oncoming encounter
with the former Tiger mentor's best
eleven since he left Auburn. And a
brighter day is looming for the Au­burn
Tigers if the breaks should fall
in their direction.
L. S. U. will present just about the
strongest opposition that the South
will see this season. Fresh from
tieing the strong Alabama squad; the
first time that Wade has failed to
win a Southern Conference game in
three years, Mason & Co. hope to put
over an easy win. That is the way
things may. look to them, but we don't
judge the future by the past and
Donahue will do well to look for the
same type of opposition that he en­countered
last Saturday.
Among the latest additions to the
Varsity squad is diminutive Ed Peake,
Pensacola flash. Peake has been a
m
scrub for the past two seasons, but
has always been in the limelight due
ft
to his dashing runs and agility. No
surprise if he should see a bit of ser­vice
Saturday.
Bolton Shotts, veteran fullback
should be back in the lineup. His
presence will add much to the defen­sive
strength as he specializes in
backing up the line.
With Saturday being the first ex­cused
football day, quite a large at­tendance
is expected at the fray. Re­member
that we are not in Auburn.
Yell, and don't stop until the final
whistle blows. If the fight spirit is
shown, there is even greater glory in
defeat than in victory. Let's take
the true attitude towards the Pitts
crew and back 'em to the limit.
Band To Have Club
Rooms Over Bank
The plans for a club room for mem­bers
of the Band have been under
way for some time. Tht two rooms
above the First National Bank have
been chosen for the Club's location.
For, with the back rooms occupied as
living quarters for four members of
the Band, the expense of maintaining
the front one as a club room will be
practically nothing. In a short time,
the Band hopes to have these rooms
furnished with every comfort their
means will allow. The purpose of this
enterprise is to provide amusement
for members of the Band.
Prof. Wyatt Heads
Arch. Design Dept.
According to a statement made by
Professor F. C. Biggen, Dean of the
Department of Architecture at Au­burn,
Professor Benjimen Kenneth
Wyatt comes to us highly recommend­ed
by Professor Lorch of U. of Mich.,
Professors Curtis and Spratling of
Tulane and Mr. Farrot in whose of­fice
he has been employed for four
years. _. He has had five years of
College training, three at Tulane and
two at the University of Michigan.
He takes Professor Osborne's place
as head teacher of Architectural de­sign,
during Professor Osborne's ab­sence
this year.

GOLEMAN TRAVELS
IN ITALY AND SPAIN
Albert Sidney Golemon graduated
from the Department of Architec­ture
at the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
in the year 1924, he went from
there to the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology where he received his
Masters Degree in the summer of
1926. During the winter sessions of
1925-27 he served as an instructor in
Architecture at Alabama Polytechnic
Institute at Auburn. In the summer
of 1927 he attended the Fontaineb-leau
School of Fine Arts in Paris,
France for further graduate work.
Having finished his course of study
there he is now traveling in Italy
and Spain. Golemon expects to re­turn
to this country in the latter part
of November.
While a student at Auburn Golemon
took the American Institute of Archi­tectural
Design prize and was also
an associate member of the Alabama
Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects.
ORR WILL ADDRESS
ARCHITECTS HERE
The Architectural Association had
the pleasure of hearing Mr. Frank
Orr, an Auburn graduate, at its
meeting last Monday night.
Mr. Orr, who was graduated in the
class of '24, was in his senior year
president of the Architectural Asso­ciation,
Art Editor of the Glomerata
and also a colonel of the R. O^T. C.
unit. He is a member of the Lamb­da
Chi Alpha fraternity and Tau Beta
Pi honorary fraternity, and is now
employed as architectural engineer by
Geo. P. Turner, a prominent archi­tect
of Birmingham.
Mr. Orr spoke on "Acoustics,"
and was able to portray this sub­ject
compentently, having gained
a thorough knowledge of the sub­ject
through his study at Asburn.
His knowledge has been further ad­vanced
by his three years practical
experience in the office. The lec­ture
was of great interest and help
to all interested in architecture.
Dance Is Feature
Of Homecoming
Celebration Here
Music Furnished By Max Jones'
Orchestra
The A Club Dance which was given
in the gymnasium last Saturday was:
a very delightful affair to all those
who attended. It was a part of the
program planned for Homecoming to
renew old times at Auburn and give
the ones who had never attended an
Auburn dance a sample of how good
they are. A few of the grils who at­tended
the dances were: Misses Le-nora
Woodall, Elizabeth Pharr, An­nie
Mae Hyatt and Dorothy Kilgore
from Columbus, Georgia; Misses
Rosalind Jones, Katherine Smith,
Kathleen Pope and Ruth Drisbauch,
from Birmingham. The music was
furnished by Max Jones, a director of
a popular jazz orchestra of Boston,
Mass., and his orchestra of seven
other Auburn students. This orches­t
ra will probably furnish music for
the A Club dances that are to fol­low.
After the dances came to' a close,
Charley Dudley, Auburn's gone but
not forgotten Cheer Leader, led the
crowd in a few hearty yells which told
our visitors that the old Auburn
Spirit is still alive.
Kangaroo Court
At B'ham-Sou.
Victims and likely victims may re­joice
for no more is the law of the
lash and the -mask, at least in aca­demic
circles at Birmingham-Sonth-ern
college.
The faculty held up a light so that
upperclassmen might read the hand­writing
on the wall and consequently,
a new era is beginning at Hilltop,
no more will pleasure bent collegiates
roam the halls of the dormitories in
the wee hours scaring the green
freshmen pink.
The mask of darkness is laid aside
and a tribunal has been set up in
the manner of a "Kangaroo Court"
and nightly are the guilty hauled
before a magistrate and jury. De­fending
and prosecuting attorneys
are appointed and justice takes its
course.
Until this year, however, uneasy
were the pajama trunks belonging
to freshmen- Under the oaken per­suader,
tender skins were wrought
into multi-colored patterns.
> Beginners lived in constant awe of
the tap, tap, tap that might beat into
their dreams of better things at any
midnight.
The judge, jury and attorneys in
the new court are selected for their
sense of humor, and ingenuity. It
seems, freshmen say, that only the
guilty are brought before the court,
for as yet none have been truned
away without proper attention.
The court differs slightly from the
Supreme Court in that no records
are kept and precedent is disregard­ed.
Individual problems present
themselves in each case, one judge
said, and they are treated accord­ingly.
BAND SHOW TO
BE PRESENTED
TO RAISE FUNDS
Many Talented Artists Will
Take Part In Program
Get ready for something new and
unusuaj in the way of entertainment.
The Auburn band is planning to pre­sent
a show in the very near future.
A varied program of vaudeville,
black-face, music and minstrel is being
planned by members of the band who
are in charge of the show. The Glee
Club, Mandolin Club, the Dramatic
Club, the Orchestra and other indivi­duals
experienced in that line will
also attribute to the attraction.
The main purpose of the show is
to raise money by means of which
new equipment might be purchased
for the band and at the same time
offer to the student body a bit of
really worth-while entertainment.
Due to the enlargement of the band
in the last two years, fifteen new uni­forms
are needed. Quite a number
of the old capes need altering and
lining.
The show, which is under the per­sonal
direction of P. R. Bidez, prom­ises
to be one of the best of the year.
Tickets will be on sale at one dollar
each.
DR. PETRIE IN AUTO
ACCIDENT FRIDAY
Dean Petrie is suffering from mi­nor
cuts about the head as a result
of an accident on Friday. Dean re­ceived
injuries about the face when
the car he was driving was hit by a
Lincoln whose driver was blinded by
the sun. The windshield of Dr.
Petrie's car was shattered as it was
knocked against the guy wire of a
telephone pole. He narrowly escaped
death when his new fall hat was lit­erally
cut from his head, however he
escaped with a small cut on the nose
and head. With the exception of
the windshield the automobiles re­ceived
no serious damage. When
asked concerning the accident he ex­claimed,
"Here I am with my nose
sewed up, my head plastered and
thankful that I am not in a warmer
clime."
LAMPS TAKE IN
THREE SENIOR
GIRLS 0F_ MERIT
Local Honor Society Initiates
New Members
V
On Sunday, October 9, initiation
into the Lamps Senior Women's Hon­orary
was held. Three popular
Seniors, Catherine Hare, porothy
Taylor and Beth Seibold, were the
girls on whom this honor was bestow-sd
this year. Sunday morning a de­lightful
breakfast was given at the
College Cafe in honor of the new
meriibers. Miss Emily Hare, an Au­burn
alumnus and "one of the char­ter
members of Lamps, presided over
the initiation ceremonies, and was
hostess at the breakfast.
Lamps is a local society, to which
not more than five of the most out­standing
Senior girls are elected an­nually.
It was founded in 1923 by
Emily Hare, Elizabeth Fullan, Eliza­beth
Collins, Georgia Thomas, and
Leila Jordan, under the direction and
supervision of Miss Zoe Dobbs. It
is without doubt a most worthy or­ganization,
having for its standards,
loyalty, ability, magnanimity, per­sonality,
and scholarship.
Lamps seems already to have exert­ed
a very good influence upon the
school by inspiring the girl students
to do their best at all times, in ord.n-that
they may merit election to this
society when they become Seniors.
Co-ed Enrollment
Shows Steady Gain
Over Other Years
Majority of Girls Take Home
Economics
For the past five years, the enro i-ment
of the co-eds has shown a steady
increase each year. The fall regis­tration
showed the largest enroll­ment
of Co-eds in the history of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, ac­cording
to statement made-by Miss
Zoe Dobbs.
The majority of the Co-eds are en­rolled
in Home Economics, while
there have been three registered in
art, five in Pre-Medical, including the
Moore twins from Opelika, and one in
Chemical Engineering and one in the
School of Pharmacy.
Last year one of the fair members
of the institution ventured forth into
the field of Veterinary Medicine, and
to date her sister Co-eds have failed
to display like taste in choice of their
courses.
This year for the first time, Phy­sical
Education is being offered to
the Co-eds. This department is head­ed
by Misses Lula Palmer and Irene
Brown. Miss Palmer is to be head
of the Nursery School as the "baby
house" opens. Miss Palmer holds a
master degree from Columbia Uni­versity.
Miss Brown holds, a degree
from Baylor University.
i i Breezy" Bauer
Visits Auburn
"Breezy" Bauer, a .student at the
University of Colorado and a mem­ber
of the Sigma Nu Fraternity there
came to Auburn last Thursday after­noon.
He soon found fraternity
brothers here and was welcomed by
them.
Carl F. Bauer told of his plans for
traveling around the world, playing
on his guitar and singing to pay ex­penses.
He expects the trip to take
two or three years or longer. Bauer
will visit the southern states and then
go north before leaving for Europe,
stopping in each city as long as he
pleases.
"I have viewed life from the stand­point
of an idler, a worker, a student
and have often wondered what the
outlook was of a tramp or a wanderer
with apparently no definite purpose
in view," he said. It was with this
desire that he set out on his trip
around the world with only two cents
for his expenses. His wardrobe con­sisted
only of a few articles of cloth­ing,
his diary, and his guitar. Bauer
was a visitor in Auburn over the week
end and furnished much enjoyable en­tertainment
with his one-piece or­chestra.
STUDENTS GO BEFORE BOARD
TRUSTEES; PRESENT CHARGES
STUDENTS ARE
BEHIND TEAM
WITH OLD PEP
Old Cheer Leaders Address
Mass Meeting
Some semblance of the old-time Au­burn
Spirit was evident last night in
Langdon hall at the mass meeting.
Although the fair in Opelika depleted
the ranks of the rooters, a good crowd
was present. Coach Pitts spoke to
the students for the first time since
becoming head coach. He spoke as
an Auburn man, to Auburn men, ask­ing
them to support the team and to
remember their heritage as Auburn
men. Coach Boozer was given a
hearty ovation by the student body,
and was closely attended in his talk.
Bill Wood '24, and Charlie Dudley,
two old cheer leaders, spoke, and
pled that the students stand behind
the team to the last ditch. They re­cited
the accomplishments of the Au­burn
of old, and declared that the old
spirit was not dead. Both men led
several yells, and it seemed that the
spirit was not dead indeed, when the
old cheers boomed out across the
campus. Mr. J. V. Brown newly ap­pointed
Athletic Director, spoke brief­ly
at the meeting. Declaring that he
was proud of the scars which he bore
from Auburn football games, he
asked the men to fall in behind the
new regime on the gridiron and help
to make the remainder of the season
successful.
BOARD MEETS TO
INVESTIGATE
SITUATION HERE
Students Claim Dowell
Unfit for Job
FIGURES PRESENTED TO
PROVE THE CONTENTION
Many Grievances Brought To
Board
Y. W.C.A. Hut Has Interesting History
As Old Landmark on Auburn Campus
Building Was First Used As
Church
Several accounts of the little «red
church, which is located on the cor­ner
of the college campus and now
serves the two fold purpose of Little
Theatre and Y. W. C. A. meeting
place, show that the little structure
has passed through a number of
stages, in reference to its use since
it was constructed.
In 1850 one Edwin Reese, a mem
ber of one of the first families to
live in Auburn, set his slaves to work
burning lime" to make brick for the
purpose of constructing a Presby­terian
church in his community. This
man prepared on his plantation all
the materials necessary for the finan­cial
aid in completing the church.
According to Mrs. W. ,B. Fraser,
who is tohe oldest living citizen of
Auburn, Mr. F. M. Reese, her father
donated $1000.00 to the fund which
was raised entirely by the Ree,se
family. The lot was donated to the
congregation by John Harper, who
founded the town of Auburn.
In 1852 the first communion ser-vice
was held in the church by Anna
Reese, the mother of Edwin Reese. An
interesting fact to those who, would
preserve the memories of the past is
that the tankard and goblets used in
that service and donated by the
Reese family to the church have been
handed back to that family and are
now in the possession of Mary Helen
Fraser of Opelika who is the great-great-
great grand daughter of Anna
Reese.
A number of pastors of note have
given sermons in this little church.
The father of Dean Petrie of our col­lege,
a well-known man of letters,
preached there- several years. Dr.
R. L. Dabney, chief of staff for
"Stonewall" Jackson, and professor
of Theology in the University of
Texas at Austin preached his last
sermon in the little church two weeks
before his death. Other prominent
ministers of this church were: Dr.
Cunningham of the state of Georgia
and Dr. Foster, who was head of the
Presbyterian Orphanage located at
Tuskegee.
This building continued to be the
location of the Presbyterian church

FORMER PUPIL
OF DONAHUE TO
BE HEAD COACH
Assistants
New
Not Changed
Head Coach
by
Immediately after accepting Coach
Morey's resignation, Dr. Dowell an­nounced
that Mr. John E. Pitts would
be head coach and Mr. J. V. Brown,
director of athletics. Coach V'pts
took charge of the team Monday af­ternoon,
and will direct the team for
the rest of the season.
For a time there were quite a few
rumors flying around as to who
would be appointed head coach and
Director of Athletics, but the question
has been definitely settled by Dd.
Dowell. J. V. Brown as director of
athletics will be in full charge of the
business end of the various sports
while "Boozer" Pitts as head coach
will be in charge of the actual train­ing
of the men. In addition to his
work on the field "Boozer" is an as­sistant
professor in mathematics
which he declares to be a decided as­set
to his coaching for it puts him in
a closer touch with the student body
and gives him a better opportunity to
see the students point of view in any
question which might arise. Pitts
himself an old A.P. I. man having
come to Auburn nineteen years ago
as a lowly "rat." He made his letter
and was chosen as all southern center
before he graduated. With the pro­per
cooperation of the student body
and playei-s Pitts should develop a
winning combination here at Auburn
and it is the duty of every true Au­burn
man to see that he gets his co­operation
for without it he will be
helpless.

City Editor Birmingham Poat
Members of the student committee
which went before Gov. Bibb Graves
in Montgomery early in the week to
ask him to call the special meeting of
the board of trustees here today, went
before the board today and gave
their reasons for requesting that Dr.
Spright Dowell be removed as presi­dent
of the college.
After a conference of nearly two
hours from which students and news­papermen
present were barred, Law­rence
Whiten, editor of the Glomerata
and president of the inter-fraternity
council went before .the board and
told its members of actions by the stu­dent
body in the present agitation.
In brief, Whiten said that it was
the belief of the student body that
present conditions could not be reme­died
as long as Dr. Dowell is presi­dent
of the school.
"We know that students are not
working and that the situation here is
the chief topic of conversation on the
campus." he said in answer to ques­tions
from members of the board.
Whiten also told the board that it
was his private opinion that if a sec­ret
ballot were taken of the deans of \
the college here that a majority of
them would vote for Dowell's re­moval.
When asked the direct question,
"What do you think should be done
to remedy the present situation?"
Whiten replied that he thought the
president should be removed.
Frank Malone, president of the
Blue Keys honor society told the board
that the students realized that there
was some major defect in the ad­ministration
of the school.
As one proof of this, he offered the
fact "that this year's freshman class
is nearly 18 percent smaller than
last year's and that the total enroll­ment
is smaller than the previous
year's for the first time in many
years.
Victor H. Hanson, publisher of
The Birmingham News and Age-
Herald and The Montgomery Adver­tiser,
gave the following enrollment
figures for the information of the
board, after Malone had told of the
drop in Freshman enrollment.
They are:
1920, 1,195; 1921, 1,269; 1922, 1,-
433; 1923, 1,469; 1924, 1,538; 1925,
1,550; 1926, 1,580; 1927, 1,643.
Malone then referred to Dr.
Dowell's alleged failure to attend
student mass meetings and athletic
events, saying that his weakened phy­sical
condition made it impossible for
him to keep the close personal con­tact
necessary to keep the student
body's respect for the head of the in­stitution.

GOOD RECOVERS
FROM OPERATION
Henry Good, professor of entomo­logy
and zoology, resumed his duties
on Ag Hill last week after a two-week's
vacatiNk at St. Margaret's
Hospital, Montgomery. Professor
Good was rushed to the hospital Sep­tember
fifteenth for an operation for
appendicitis. The operation was
very successful as he was absent from
the village only ten days.
Professors Robinson, Guyton and
Arant, of the Zoology and Entomo­logy
Department carried on the work
of Prof. Good while he was confined
to the hospital.

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT:
Moisture has descended to the dusty path­ways
we have trod. A drop of the mer­cury
has also appreciably added to our ex-huberative
mood.
In the face of all difficulties, A. P. I.
continues to "carry on." "Strong winds
make a kite sail higher"—isn't that cor­rect?
Auburn is receiving a vast amount of
publicity these weeks. Manipulations are
set forth in practically every Alabama
Daily. In one instance, bold streamer
headlines led the article,
Mike Donahue has commented favorably
on the amiability of Boozer Pitts as Au­burn's
head coach. We're all behind you,
Coach Pitts.
In their shirt-tail parade last week, the
Rats were accused of being Kluckers.
Well, that's going some; who can't dis­tinguish
between a jiude College Rat and
a robed Klansman? We might label their
fracas, "The Big Parade Revised."
Red Arant walked to class with Miss Mc­Neil
recently.
A Rat was overheard talking to another
rodent thus: "I'd like to go to college where
they enter as Sophomores."
"Boy, that would be the onions," came
as an answer.
The Bengals meet Auburn's former Grid
master Saturday. The outcome will also
be interesting.
The visiting ladies were well pleased
with the Sophomore Hop. We are trying
to be sociable by hoping they will come
again.
Next week will bring new issues—new
food for thought in terse terms.
MISUNDERSTANDING
We are often misunderstood and we often
misunderstand others. Misunderstanding
breeds disco'-'. d hatred, and often
causes one 'he should not. Only
last >'eek evetj • in Auburn was
• "•. by '•' -at had been written
••••'.•• i-at to his father, because
h<- misunderstood. "I wrote that letter after
I iiad been in Auburn only two weeks," the
rat said, when interviewed Sunday evening.
"I had the wrong impression of Auburn
then. I had met with difficulties here,
and had seen only the bad side of things.
I had heard many things that had caused
me to form the wrong opinion of the col­lege.
But before that letter had been pub­lished
in The Plainsman I had changed my
mind about Auburn." The rat had been
led to believe certain things detrimental to
himself and his chosen college by certain
upperclassmen.
He continued, "I had seen that it was
only a few individuals who carried on that
which I so much abhorred. I had seen that
the student body as a whole was consider­ate
of my views and willing to help me in
every way possible. I had started loving
Auburn more each day. Then the inevit­able
came. Students who knew me, suspi-cioned
me at once. They would start con­versations
in my presence about the letter
to see what would be my reactions. I have
said nothing. I.am planning to leave Mon­day,
because I do not feel that I can make
sufficient amends."
We are certain that this rat has seen a
better side of student life and urge him to
continue his studies here and become a
loyal Auburn man.^Jt was only through
misunderstanding that he adopted his first
erroneous conclusion.
MARKS AND REMARKS
Someone has asked, where is the Auburn
Spirit? This person lived away from the
village and had not witnessed any of the
demonstrations that have taken place re­cently.
We who have been here and have
seen for ourselves some of the things that
have been carried on in the name of spirit
ask ourselves what has the Auburn Spirit
evolved into?
We refer to the action of^a number of
new men who have departed from tradi­tion
and have let their enthusiasm run riot
to such an extent that their actions have
proved destructive.
There are times in one's college career
when our hearts beat high and our jubil-ancy
is at high tide, but these are seldom
occurances. It is well to be careful that
the wave of enthusiasm does not sweep us
off our feet and send us headlong into the
arms of the dreaded undertow of mob rule.
The great bonfire that consumed quanti­ties
of debris on the night prior to the
Florida game also destroyed one of the
fine oak trees near the main gate. Timr
alone can replace what was laid waste in
one evening. The trees are one of the
chief adornments of College Street. Their
beauty has been preserved with care for
us. Do we not consider posterity?
Certain ill bred rhodents are accustomed
to meet the trains and make themselves ob­jectionable.
We are aware of the fact
that there are many students who have
never seen many trains. It is unnecessary,
however, for those students to appropriate
railroad equipment and express themselves
collegiately. The wanton destruction' and
wilful accumulation of property that is
useless to anyone but the owners is a sense­less
practice.
Such thoughtlessness on the part'of a
few is liable to jeopardize the good name
of our college. Any organization may be
judged by the individuals within its bounds.
Let us denounce any practice that is detri­mental
to us individually or collectively
for is it not our duty to hold the good
name of Auburn above reproach?
FIRST ORATION OF CICERO II VS.
THE IDEAL
When, O Ideal do you mean to cease
abusing our shirts? How long is that in­fernal
machine of yours still to rend our
B. V. D.'s? When is there to be an end
of that sock-destroying rampage of yours,
impoverishing us as it does now? Do you
feel that your depredations are noticed?
Do you not see that your "Reign of Tear­ing"
is already resented by your fifteen
hundred patrons? What is it that you
lost last night, tore the night before, whose
shirts were wrinkled, whose pajamas
shrunk, with which you think, that any one
of us is unacquainted.
Shame on the washing machine and its
destructive habits! The senior class is
aware of these things; the sophomores see
them; and yet the Ideal thrives. Thrives!
aye, it stands even on the main street. It
is watching and marking down and check­ing
off for destruction every new shirt
that appears on the campus. And we, gal­lant
students that we are, think that we
are doing our duty to our Alma Mater when
we feed the monster our best hankies.
You ought, O Ideal, long ago to have
been led to mend your ways and our torn
shirts. That destruction which you have
long been plotting for our Sunday pants
ought to have already fallen on your care­less
self.
What? Have not many other pests been
cast out, though causing but little trouble
on the campus? And shall we, fastidious
College Men, tolerate the Ideal, openly de­sirous
to destroy all our sheets and pillow
cases with holes and iron burns? There
was—there was once such virtue on this
campus that brave students would demand
at least one-half their towels back on Sat­urday
night. For we have a feeling in the
student body against you, a deep resent­ment
of the wrongs done our silk hankies,'
O Ideal; the nightshirts of the juniors are
not at fault, nor the counterpanes of the
freshmen. We, we alone—I say it openly
—we,- the students, are wanting our laun­dry
done better and more of it returned.
How long, O Ideal, how long?
WHY NOT A GLEE CLUB?
It is with hesitancy that we mention a
buried issue but we do want to know what
has become of the glee club. It is true
that there have been difficulties to over­come
but now it seems that these will be
smoothed out. We are aware that there
has been no competent accompanist avail­able
but should the lack of one prevent
the entire organization from functioning?
With pleasure we learn of the-loss of the
old music. This has detained action some­what
but should that deprive our songsters
of a means of expression? Although the
loss is of a material one we are thankful
that the old selections have passed into the
discard.
There seems to be a great amount of
talent available that is of merit. To neg­lect
using this means that patrons of the
club will be deprived of a great amount of
pleasure.
The mandolin club is fast coming into
its own and the new orchestra is in process
of development. When these organizations
are supplimented by the songbirds the
whole will prove to be a pleasing and vari­ed
ensemble of entertainers.
It is sincerely hoped that some action
will be taken towards the development of
a glee club this year.
THE BAND ASKS SUPPORT
During the past two years, the Auburn
Band, now entering its thirty first year,
has increased in numbers and it is now
necessary to purchase fifteen new uni­forms.
The capes of the old uniforms
must be relined and retailored. Some of
the members of the band have been de­prived
of several trips because of the lack
of proper equipment.
Conditions heve existed- for some time
which must be corrected immediately. Tb
musicians have already been measured ind
the uniforms ordered.
The band will present a musical and
vaudeville show in order to raise the neces­sary
funds.' Aside from the band the as­sistance
of the dramatic, mandolin and glee
clubs is assured in making a production,
the like of which has never been presented
here.
Many of the campus organizations have
voiced their approval of the plan. Stu­dents
are asked to help the band which
has been a source of pride for many years.
Tickets will be on sale in several weeks.
Will you cooperate?
Auburn Footprints
Apparently Max Kahn has not abandon­ed
his reckless ways. Judging from the
way a little bit of powder affected his face
the other day, we would say that he has
never had much to do - around a powder
plant. Too, he seemed to be attempting
to get the best of some of the other fellows
when he forgot all about caution. Maybe,
however, he was only getting ready to per­form
some clown act somewhere with a
one-horse vaudeville show. We would sug­gest
that go to an expert rather than to
try the job himself.
Red-headed boys and women. What a
combination for one to write home about.
Red Smith has proved beyond a doubt that
he is no ladies' man; however, "Greasy"
Oyler shame-facedly admits that he has
fallen under the bewitching eyes of a fair
damsel who recites her family history to
prove that foolishness and vanity are a
thing of the past. Guess who she is? Watch
for an announcement at an early date.
Woman's College has added another vic­tim
to her ever mounting list. We are
sorry to see another good man go wrong,
especially this one, for he happens to be
our own Jim from Rome, Ga. We are
trying to persuade him to let us in on
the secret.
Locke Cameron is the latest man in Au­burn
to take up the study of animals. Last
Sunday while taking a sun bath in front
of the dormitory, he espied four small
squirrels cavorting around in a tree. After
carefully observing them for several min­utes,
he came to the conclusion that there
were at least at least six squirrels on the
campus. We wonder if he came to* this
decision inductively or reductively.
After observing the plastic patches on
the Dean's face, we couldn't decide whether
the Dean was attempting Barney's nose
operation or- had fallen off the flagpole
back of the Main Building. ('Dean, we are
sorry to hear that you were unfortunate
enough to have even a slight accident and
hope that you are speedily recovering).
The only thing that the mosquitoes in
Auburn are good for has been discovered.
"Dad-gummit" Pearce was sleeping in A.
S. C. E. last Monday night when a husky
mosquito saw he was missing all of the
program. Acting in a very constructive
manner, he proceeded to arouse the man
with sleeping sickness.
.All things being equal, we are darn glad
that this is the end.

Dear Sir:
Please know how grateful I am to the
Plainsman for the loyal support given me.
Your handling of athletic news has been
splendid and has helped me beyond
measure.
It is dificult ;for me to leave Auburn,
and it pulls on the old heart strings to
leave those who have given me many hours,
rich in happy friendships. Auburn has
given me much and I shall always watch
and love her.
With kindest wishes I am gratefully

LUIGI PIRANDELLO'S "SHOOT"
Shoot by Luigi Pirandello is a moving
picture story. The characters are all con­nected
in one way or another with a movie
studio at Rome. The story begins with the
arrival of Signor Gubbio who becomes a
photographer and is therefore called Shoot.
He soon finds that one of the stars is Varia
Nestoroff wha has driven his best friend
to suicide and wrecked the happiness qf his
friend's sister by stealing her lover. She
now has another lover Carlo ' Ferro but
Aldo Nuti for whom she deserted Gulbio's
friend has come to join the company. Nesto­roff
and Ferro are to take part in a film
to include a fight with a real tigor. Nuti,
however, is finally substituted for Ferro
as the tiger killer. When the scene is pro­duced,
Nuti shoots Nestoroff and allows the
tiger to kill him. Shoot, who turns the
handle of the camera recording the ghastly
scene is so shocked that he loses his power
of speech.
Strange to say, Shoot is rather proud of
his share in this story of the lady and the
tiger. The tiger woman is punished who
killed his friend, Giogio's sister. In his
speechlessness, Shoot gloats over his passi­vity
as his friends try to tease him into
speech again. Signorina Luisetta whom he
could and perhaps did love, but who had
been more attentive recently to Nuti, shows
her sympathetic attention, but in vain.
Shoot has too much pride to take advantage
of her sympathy. However, he is very
proud of his situation having been assured
Income, friends, attention, admiration, in
the midst of which his aloofness is collosal
As the story comes to us through Shoot's
diary, we see everything through the color
of his prejudice and sensitiveness. As he
has more sympathy for the tiger than h
has for Nestoroff, we cannot be sure thai
we get the truth about the woman who des
' roys all the men whdm she attracts. How-over,
he expresses truthfully the author's
complaint about our age, the machine age.
Moving pictures showing a life are destroy­ing
the legitimate drama. Shoot feels dis­gusted
because he does nothing but turn the
handle. All the actors look down upon him
for the same reason. All men, thinks Pir-

andello, are doomed to be links in a chain
of industry and to become dwarfted men­tally
and physically under the oppression of
machinery.
Man's superiority over the animals lies in
the fact, says Shoot, that man must have an
artificial world, art, literature, imagination
and faith in a life hereafter, into which he
can project himself. Man's superiority
lies in the fact that he troubles himself with
problems that he can not solve. In other
words, in our machine age, in which no
man has anything to do but tend the ma­chine,
one has no time for the very activi­ties
that make him a man. There is one
satiric fling in the book at slavery to ma­chines
in America, where art and religion
are supposed to be at low ebb.
From one point of view, the story is the
tragedy of a man whose ideals are not
realizable and whose capacity for great ex­perience
is limited. The same condemna­tion
of machine industry is presented in
Hudson's Crystal Age and in Butler's
Ereivhon but we do not suspect that the
authors have the inferiority complex. Some
one said recently that Pirandello sees life
unsteadily and sees it double. He is at
heart romantic but feels the necessity of
being modern and realistic.
He is bewildered by life, the doubts that
torture, the negation of desire. The past
seems beautiful as it recedes, the present
towdry; something was certain to our
fathers, nothing to us. This is the cry
which we hear often now, as if there were
no choice between being a brute and taking
what we want and being one who com­plains
because one cannot get what one
wants.
The book will please those who have the
habit, like Signor Gubbio , of observing
people and suspecting that they are always
groping for the certainty in which alone
man can find rest. Tht story is romantic,
brief and closes with a bang. It turns out
too well, in fact, for all of the wicked get
punished sufficiently.
The book shows that Pirandello has a
heart but that he is hardly in possession
of his own soul. It will, however, if read
with care, provoke thought that will give
value to things worth while.

Letter by Junior concerning athletic fee:
"We now have a three:dollar athletic fee
for which nothing is received other than the
privilege of playing on the campus. Could
not an athletic fee of five or six dollars be
charged and each student be permitted to
see, without further charge, every game on
the campus? This plan works well at Ala­bama
and other colleges. Had you not
rather give five dollars for a good pair of
shoes than three for an empty box! That's
the question exactly."
Today we are enjoying the fruits of this
movement; we are face to face in actual
reality with the very plan this student set
forth. Do we appreciate and honor this
privilege as we should? Are we faithful to
the ideals this student had in mind when
he advocated this move? Let's remember
that others suffered—in a measure—that
we might attain this advantage. We have
been entrusted with the benefits of it, let's
be very careful not to trample them in the
dust.

LIONS CLUB MEETS
IN NOVEL PROGRAM
The Lions Club of Auburn met
Monday at what they called a "Good-time
meeting," or one in which no of­ficial
business was attended to. W.
A. (Bill) Young had charge of the
program, and of course everything
went off in fine style. Miss Evelyn
Smith of Camp Hill, sang several
beautiful songs, accompanied by Mrs.
Mary Askew, which were greatly en­joyed
by the club.
A new feature of the club was in­augurated
Monday. Henceforward,
some lion will be discussed by an­other
member each week; as to his
peculiarities, accomplishments, hob­bies,
etc., until every member has
been discussed. This should prove
unusually interesting because of the
characters oi the club roster, who are
professors, extension workers, bank­ers,
merchants, doctors, and men in­terested
in other phases of life. The
first man discussed was Emmitt
"Unk" Sizemore. Professor W. D.
Salmon "raked Unk over jthe coals",
as the expression goes. Snort talks
by Director J. V. Brown, and Land
Lipscomb were enthusiastically re­ceived.
C. H. Beddingfield, a new
club member was initiated. Prof.
Chas Snook was guest of the club.
The different projects before the
club, of which, "Sanitation around
Auburn" was the principal one, were
discussed, and it was decided to fol­low

year for the ensuing year.

IDEAL FRATERNITY
HOUSE MOTHER IS
FOUND BY SURVEY
(INS)—Fraternity house mothers
are not a necessity, agree the frater­nities
at the Denver university, though
they acknowledge that to have an
"ideal" house mother is rather an ad­vantage.
This is the result of a sur­vey
made at the fraternity houses.
The census taken shows that the
"ideal" house mother must be a "good
scout and able to understand and put
up with all the swear words," as a
paramount requirement. These quali­fications
were listed by seven frater­nity
houses questioned on the sub­ject.
Denver university fraternity men
are. bitter in their attack on any edict
pertaining to house mothers. They
decidely. combat the edict passed by
the dean^of men at the University of
Southern California, that makes the
installation of a house mother a defi­nite
requirement, considering this a
"distinctly personal matter."

FLORIDA 'GATORS WIN OVER
AUBURN TIGERS; SCORE 33-6
Completely upsetting the dope, the
Gators from the University of Flor­ida
ran roughshod over the Tigers
from the Plains of Auburn here last
^Saturday. It was the third defeat in
as many starts for the Tigers. The
final score was 33-6, the lone Auburn
score coming in the fourth quarter
as a result of a series of short passes
when Taylor went around left end on
a triple pass.
Lineups:
Florida—Dehoff, W., left"end; De-hoff,
D., left tackle; Allen, left guard;
Kirchner, center; Reeves, right
guard; Clemmons, right tackle; Stan­ley,
right end; Bowyer, quarterback;
Brumbaugh, right half; Bishop, left
half; Middlekauf, (captain), full­back.
Auburn—Burns, left end; Carter,

Trounce Auburn
Rats in 12-7 Game
While the University of Florida
varsity was in the village of the
plains administering a defeat to the
Auburn varsity; the f rosh team of the
Gators was busy handing out a defeat
to the Auburn rat team in Gaines­ville,
the final score being 12-7. The
Baby Gators first touchdown came in
the first quarter After Auburn had
held them for downs near the goal
line. But on the last down the play
was called back and Auburn penalized
five yards for offside, giving the
Florida rats first down. They pro­ceeded
to make the most of it and
went over for a touchdown. Their
second touchdown came in the third
quarter by a pass, after they had
covered an Auburn fumble. It is sig­nificant
to note that both Florida
touchdowns came when they had th«
wind with them.
The lone Auburn tally came on a
beautiful play. Chambless, star quar­ter
for the rats, received a punt on
about his 40-yard line. As soon as
he started to run, not a single Florida
man could be seen on his feet. Every
man on the Auburn team got a man,
and one player got two. Chambless
tore down the field for the sixty yards
seperating him from the goal line, and
finally crossed it. Brown came
back from right end and place kicked
the extra point, the ball going right
through the middle of the crossbars
In practice lately this Rat Brown is
beginning to look like another Clab­ber
Williams, for his educated toe
seldom fails to send the ball soaring
through the uprights.
Fumbling among the Auburn backs
was very noticeable as in the Howard
game, and it hurt a great deal. Run­ning
plays were usually stopped by
the Auburn line. Taylor played a
great game in the line, as did Dread-en,
Christopher and Harkins. Wingo
stood out for the Auburn backfield on
defense, playing a brilliant game. In
fact, the whole team performed well.
The blocking and tackling were good,
and the punting fair. Except for the
fumbles, the team played mighty good.
For Florida Bethea gave our rats
more trouble than any other Florida
man. He was hard to stop. Florida
had about fifty men in her squad,
and as the day was exceedingly hot,
she played just about the whole squad.
Newton, the plunging full of the ro­dent
team, had an elbow wrenched and
his services will probably be lost to
the team for two or three weeks.
Harkins suffered a minor injury, but
will be in shape for the next game.
Dreaden was injured the first of the
week in practice, but will probably
not be out very long. McClesky and
Winn have also been lost to the squad
as they did not have a sufficient num­ber
of credits to permit them play­ing.

COACH "BOOZER" PITTS
AH hail Coach "Boozer!" And at
the same time, let us all pledge our
co-operation to one of the best football
players ever turned out at Auburn;
in order that he may turn out one
of the best elevens in Dixie. With
full co-operation Coach is able to do
wonders in a short time, but with poor
support, he not only will fail in his
task, but will not be held responsible
for the failure.
Upon the acceptance of Coach
Morey's resignation, Coach Pitts was
put in charge of athletics at A. P.* I.
for this year. This is the second
time that he has held this office, hay­ing
taken charge upon the departure
of Mike Donahue and reigning until
the arrival of Morey. Pitts is a
coach of known ability. While coach
here before, he humbled Donahue's
L. S, U. Tigers, and played Tech and
Georgia to remarkably low scores
The feature of a Pitts team is the
defense. And this feature should be
noticed in the very near future.

GEORGIA
Georgia traveled to New Haven
last Saturday, and beat Yale 14 to J^0
In a game that is to be long remem­bered
in football history.
Four times the fighting Bulldogs
turned back the furious drives of the
fresh string men of Yale. This oc­curred
in the final quarter, when., the
Yale first team was put in in an ef­fort
to break the four point lead of
the Southerners. These four succes­sive
stands by Georgia have never be­fore
been equaled in the history of the
Yale bowl. They went from their
own 25-yard line deep into the Geor­gia
territory.
The Bulldogs, who were tierd from
playing a steady stream qf fresh
men, stopped the Blue on the 10-yard
line, 7-yard line, and 21yard line in
the last period. The fourth Yale
drive ended when a pass fell behind
Georgia's goal line in-complete.

that they have a good chance to

defeat.
HOWARD
The Millsaps Majors beat Howard
College 13 to 6 in an interesting game
in Jackson, Mississippi, last week. The
Bulldogs made their score1 in the last
quarter.
On the second play of the game,
Crawford went off right tackle and
ran 45 yards for touchdown. The try
for extra point was missed. Moody
returned the ball 33 yards on the
kickoff, which left it on Howard's 45-
yard line. For the rest of their
period, neither team came near the
goal, but the Millsaps made many
gains on off tackle plays.
Howard received the ball on the
kickoff at the start of the second
half, but was held for down. The
Bulldogs were penalized 15 yards,
and then Crawford went 17 yards
for the second touchdown. They
kicked goal. The Baptists received
again, and Harris got away for^35
yards, leaving the ball on the Millsaps
25-yard line. Millsaps punted out of
danger after picking up a Howard
fumble. Then Millsaps started a drive
down the field, but were stopped and
the ball went over. A penalty gave
Howard Jhe ball on Millsaps's 35
yard line. A pass netted the Bull­dogs
15 yards and another was
thrown over the goal, as the half
ended.
The second half started with the
ball in the Millsap's possession "in
midfield. Two passes put the ball on
Howard's 20-yard line, and Howard
held them for downs. Bradley and
Bancroft brought the ball to midfield
on two beautiful end runs. The Mill­saps
then held and Howard kicked,
the ball ball being returned to the 20-
yard line. Crawford took the ball to
the 11-yard line, but the Bulldogs
held them, and the game ended with
the ball in midfield.

DAVID B
Three years ago, a man, unknown;
except as a football coach came to
Auburn from the North-east. After
the first few years of experience an'"
companionship with the man; we
have learned that coaching is only
one of his many fine trades. With­out
a doubt, "King David" Morey is
one of the whitest, cleanest and loyal
of men! Under the impression, that
he was hindering the progress of Au­burn,
he resigned his post for the
good of dear old Auburn. Morey
was then giving up his bread and
butter; he was being paid on a par
with our President.
Fellows, we have lost our best
friend! Despite the fact that he has
resigned, he has offered his services
until some one is procured to assume
his former position. That is only a
. MOREY
small part of his sacrifice. There
Are many of our present football play­ers
remaining only because he asked
them not to follow him; and to cap
the climax—two other coaches re­mained
only because he told them
they owed their services to Auburn.
That gentlemen, is the breed of the
man about to bid us adieu! Can we
easily lost such a man? Can we find
another like hfm, to take his place?
Coach Morey, in behalf of the en­tire
student body, we wish you the
best of luck in future years. May
ybu always obtain better co-operation
in future years than you have in the
past! Try to remember us as friends
only; as we do you and your dear
wife. Our last wish is a. simple one;
that every one in this College were as
true as you and had the guts you do!
The Students
Pennenheimer was the chief ground
gainer for A. and M. Many times he
made beautiful runs around end for
substantial gains. He is a man that
is hard to stop, and is always dreaded
by the opponents.
The main punter for Mississippi
was Shadwick, who kicked goal for
extra point after each touchdown.
A. and M., who has a new coaching
staff this year, has started off the
season strong, and all indications
point in the direction that they will
have a successful season on the grid­iron.

in Birmingham on November 12th.

Auburn Rats Are
Beginning to Take
on Form in Games
The Auburn Rats are gradually
rounding into form. The line is com­posed
of husky men each capable of
doing his part to the fullest extent.
The Backfieldmen are still unable to
hold the ball as was the case in the
Florida game. Blocking and tackling
has greatly improved. The boys are
all set to throw a scare in the Tu­lane
Camp October twenty-second.
The Auburn Rats will be composed
of about the same sqad that made the
trip to the University of Florida last
week.
There has been some misfortune in
Camp. Harkins, Newton, arid Dread­en
are out with injuries, Schlick was
ruled out as he played Freshman
Football last year. McClesky and
Winn did not have a sufficient number
of credits to permit them to continue

between Banker and Pizzano of the
Greenies, and Thomason and Mizell
of the Golden Tornado.
Banker, the 175 pound blond of the
Grenies, was T. N. T. to the Tech
players. In the second quarter he
grabbed the ball and ran 93 yards
for the lone touchdown for the Wave.
He had the speed and fight that is
needed by any real player, and was
always on the job, as the Jackets
found out. Pizzano played almost as
good game as Banker, for they both
stopped Tech backs when they were
headed for touchdowns.
The Yellow Jackets scored first,
the touchdown being made in the first
quarter. They marched the ball down
the field to the three yard line, where
Thomason went over for the touch­down,
and then kicked goal for the
extra point Thomason, who is a
Soph., is one of Tech's most depend­able
backs.
In the second period Banker ran
through the whole Tech team, and
made the score for Tulane, but failed
to kick goal.
The last touchdown of the game
was made when Thomason went
almost to the goal on the first play
of the last quarter. Randolph went
over for the remaining yard.
Ford, an end, stood out in making
tackles for the Greenies, while Men-ville,
Tulane halfback, did his share
in making yardage for his teammates.

in a talk to the Ag. club.
''Agriculture has become commer-i.

ins that the main problem of ag

Mr. Davis said. He continued, "as

'•Profitable yields and large machin­ery

Mr. Davis said there is no magic
way to solve the problem of over pro­duction
and that he doubted if there
was any legislative method of solv

mishaps. Their are 200,000 men in
the United States today that are doing
this dangerous rescue work and some
praise should be given them.
The last speaker of the night, Mr.
Fowlkes, gave a vary interesting talk
in the construction of a bridge built
on dry land near Mobile, Ala. This
bridge was built and a channel cut
underneath it, thus changing the
course of the Three Mile Creek.
A discussion of the time when the
pictures of the S. A. M. E. should be
taken was brought up, but it was de­cided
to have them made at a later
date. Mr. J. B. Merrill a Junior in
Architecture was elected Advisory
Member of the S. A. M. E. of the

FORMER CO-EDS COME HOME
The annual Homecoming day
sounded a call that reached.every Au­burn
man and woman. It was logical
to see so many of the old men back,
but it was indeed gratifying to see so
many of the Co-eds back. They came
from all parts of the state, with but
one purpose—to show, their undying
love for Auburn. Time has not serv­ed
to dim their college days,, but
rather to etch more clearly than ever,
the sweet memories on their hearts.
From the Class of '24 we had with'
us Misses Annie Creel, Nonnie Wood,
Annie Merle Arant, Mildred Locke,
Alma Bently and Elizabeth Floyd of
'26, and Margaret Lane, Mary Stodg-hill,
Mildred Cheshire and Dorothy
Duggar who left our ranks only last
year. We are certainly proud of
our Women, and the progress that
they are making. .

ever since."

the student body wanted President
Dowell removed.
_ W. T. Parker said that students be­lieved,
and thaf he thought personally,
that a political machine had placed
Dr. Dowell in power and had kept
him there.
"A political machine is running
this institution and is holding it
back," he said.
"What steps would you suggest,
Mr. Parker," Col. O. R. Hood, a mem­ber
of the board asked.
"I think you ought to start at the
top and clean them all out as far as
is necessary," he answered.
Deans of the colleges were to be

They will be asked to tell the

members of the faculty should
be cleaned out and that the students
leading this rebellion should be pun­ished.

as to the affirmative loyalty of the
faculty to Dr. Dowell. He replied "I
do not know of any disloyalty." He
was then asked if there was any un­rest
among the student body. He re­plied
"Yes there has been for the
last ten days." He was then asked,
"What in your opinion is the cause of
this spirit«of unrest?" He replied "I
was absent and out of touch with af­fairs."
A motion was then made by Mr.
Victor Hanson but was tabled by the
Governor. Discussion was
dent of the Health Association of
North America in recognition of the
very efficient work he has done for
the Health Department of Alabama
during his ten years of service as

There is no disease or crime which
can not be controlled by the health
officers of today if given proper
support, said Dr. Welch.
The work of the State department
of health is outstanding. Alabama
has the best health department in
the South and second only to Ohio in

State Health Officer Makes
Address Thursday
Dr. S. W. Welch, head of State
Health Department stated that Ala­bama
is a most healthful place to
live because many of the dreadful
diseases of a few years ago are now
completely under control of health
officers.
Dr. Spright Dowell, President of
Auburn, introduced the speaker by
stating that Dr. Weldr-is now presi-aviator
was, however, not bothered by
a fog, but got off on the wrong rail­road
track, and went to Americus,
Georgia. There he realized that he
had followed the Seaboard line, in­stead
of the Western of Alabama. He
turned around at Americus and
started back to Auburn, arriving here
about five o'clock Saturday after­noon.
Knowing that the' game was
over, but wishing to see the Florida
team anyway, tried landing on the
Auburn golf links. In landing, he ac­costed
