"Rules Governed the Life of
General Washington," /
Says Speaker
Major General Richmond P. Davis,
Commander of the Fourth Corps Area
with Headquarters at Atlanta, Geor­gia,
delivered the Washington's Birth­day
An n i v e r s a r y speech before the
R. O. T. C. unit of A. P. I. in Lang-don
Hall.
General Davis used the remarkable
life of Washington as the theme of
his subject and pointed out the out­standing
qualities of Washington's
character which go into the make-up
of genius. In the 67 years of his life,
•the Father of our country, achieved
a remarkable record that has not been
equaled. He was not a spirit as most
biographers would make us believe,
but a real man. He could laugh hear­tily
when in a humorous mood, he at­tended
the theatres of his day, and
when the occasion demanded he was
hot headed.
Washington was not a dandy but
always partial to good clothes because
he said that self-respect was judged
by a man's appearance, His nose was
too large for good-looks, but when he
had returned from battle a hero, the
ladies overlooked his objectionable
features.
His life wasgoverned by rules
which he gathered during his early
life. By these rules he lived to be
one or the greatest men in history.
There were over a hunderd of these
rules, but the two which played the
greatest part in his character were
courtesy and modesty. It has been
said that Washington's modesty equ
aled his valor, and that no man has
ever had any two greater attributes
than these.
The following are-some of the as
signments of General Davis prior to
the World War:
Instructor and Assistant Professor
at the United States Military Acad
emy on three different occasions; Dt
rector of the Coast Artillery School
and President of the Coast Artillery
board, at Fort Monroe, Virginia;
Graduate of the Army War College;
was appointed Brigadier General of
the National Army at the beginning
of the World War; Commanded the
162nd Field Artillery brigade and in
addition was acting Chief of Artil­lery
of the 9th Crops; was Brigadier
General in the Regular Army in 1922,
He has recently been promoted to the
grade of Major General and assigned
to the command of the Fourth Corps
Area with Headquarters at Atlanta,
Georgia. He is now on an inspection
trip to establish closer personal con­tact
with all army activities of the
Southeast, to determine at first hand
the problems of the different com
ponents of our Army and to render
such assistance as conditions permit.
Dr. Dowell recently attended the
Baptist Education' Assembly at Uma­tilla,
Florida. Others who attended
this convention were, Dr. Rufus W.
Weaver, the educational secretaries
of the Presbyterian and Methodist
churches, and the State Superinten­dents
of Education of the Southeast­ern
States. Dr. Dowell was one of
the principal speakers, his subject
being, "The Purpose and Value of the
State Survey." -
At this meeting the educational
progress in the states was discussed
and along with this how the church
schools could cooperate with the state
schools in rendering the best educa­tional
service. The educators present
•agreed to cooperate during the next
two years in a-program for the re­moval
of illiteracy.
. The closing address was made by
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stuart from the U.
S. bureau of Education. In her talk
(Mrs. Stuart urged (hat the state
schools and the church schools work
together for the removal of illiteracy.

DR. DOWELL SPEAKS
AT BAPTIST MEET
FOUR FRATERNITY
HOUSES PLANNED
Phi Kappa Delta* Plan
Home on Row
Beautiful
Auburn's dream of a beautiful Fra­ternity
Row is rapidly materializing.
Plans have bene completed for four
fraternity houses to be built in this
section within the next six months.
The fraternities that are planning to
build are Alpha Tau Omega, Phi
Delta Thea, Delta Sigma Phi, and
Phi Kappa Delta. The plans of the
first three of these have been an­nounced
before.
Phi Kappa Delta Plan*
The members of the Phi Kappa
Delta Fraternity plan to build a beau
tiful thirty thousand dollar home of
Colonial architecture, the type specifi­ed
for all fraternity houses built on
Fraternity Row. It is to be erected
behind the Thea Chi house, and is to
face on the street that is to be cut
through directly past the South end
of the Theta Chi house.
Beautiful Fraternity Row
The erection of these four houses
will make a total of six fraternity
Row. At present several other fra­ternities
are also considering build­ing
in the near future. According to
all indications, it will be only a mat­ter
of a few years before there will
be a score or more houses in this sec­tion,
and then we will indeed have a
Fraternity Row that any school
might well be proud of.
ENGINEERS DAY
PROGRAM IS PLAN
March IS is Date Set for Festivities
Here
At a meeting of representatives
from the various engineering societies
on Friday evening plans were formu­lated
for an Engineer's Day to be

DANCE DRAWS
AUBURN BOYS
Seven Make Trip to Florida
Woman's College
BIG TIME IS REPORTED
Tea Dances Held at Sorority
H o u s e s Saturday Afternoon
The Florida State College at Talla­hassee
gave their first known prom
last Saturday, February 11th, and
Auburn was well represented. The
boys representing Auburn were: Alec
Campbell,, Bob Blakey, Paul Alford,
Tom Walthall, Oscar Asbell, Tom Par­ish
and Rob Matthews. The last
four boys went down in the famous
Theta Chi Ford. The first three
went down in Paul Alford's 1492
model Ford coupe, better known as
"Mittie Lee." All the boys claim to
have had a wonderful time, and judg­ing
from the change in looks of "Mit­tie
Lee," she had a wild time herself.
The crew left Auburn Friday and
arrived at Tallahassee in "time for
dates that night. They were all en­tertained
royally from the moment
they arrived until they left Sunday
afternoon.
The dances were so different and
so entertaining that they left an im­pression
on the boys minds that will
not be easily forgotten. They were
more or less of the Leap Year type,
the girls doing the breaking and mak­ing
of all dates. Blakey did not know

RAT IS ARRESTED *
DISTURBING TOWN
An unlucky freshman, being
initiated into a fraternity, dis­turbed
the peace to such an ex­tent
that he was arrested by an
Auburn policeman.
The freshman was on the water
tank yelling, "Praise Allah. My
doom has come." He was warned
by the police several times but
continued K's praying for fear
of arousing the wrath of his
seniors. He was jailed-by the po­lice
and released under a $100
bond.
Auburn Band Back
From Mardi Gras
Much Admiration Expressed for the
Darling Band Leader
Huge crowds of joy-mad pleasure
seekers thronged the streets—mask­ers
of all descriptions were every­where—
toy horns and whistles shriek­ed—
auto hrons tooted incessantly—
venders announced their wares in
shrill cries—Mardi Gras was at its
height! Night fell. The sky besame
a livid red from the flare of hundreds
of torches* An expectant hush fell
over the crowd—the parade had be­gun.
m
The Auburn band, at the head of
the procession, began to play. The
crowd thrilled. "Oh! Mama! Look
at the Auburn boys in their bee-ooti-ful
uniforms!" "Isn't that a darling
band leader?" "Wonder music!" "I
just lov* the Auburn band!" These

Sustains State Board in Giving
Alabama $65,000
SAMFORD OPPOSES A CT
Sharp Debate Between Presi­dents
of Colleges Occur
By a vote of 6 to 4, the State Coun­cil
of Education Tuesday night sus­tained
the action of the State Board
of Education allotting $65,000 to the
University of Alabama and $20,000
to Auburn for teacher training work.
The council's action followed a ses­sion
of 10 hours in the office of the
governor and which was enlivened
many times by sharp verbal passages
betwen adherents of Auburn and
Montevallo and the University of
Alabama.
Final action came on a resolution
offered by State Superintendent of
Education Dr. R. E. Tidwell, which
allocated teacher training services
among the three higher institutions
of learning. It was on the Tidwell
resolution offered early Tuesday af­ternoon
that the sharp debates and
interchanges occurred. Dr. Tidwell
and Dr. Denny bore the brunt of the
fight to sustain the action of the State
Board of Education. Dr. Spright
Dowell, president of Auburn; Dr. O.
C. Carmichael, president of Monteval­lo;
Alto V. Lee, of the Montevallo
board and T. D. Samford of the Au­burn
board spoke several times dur­ing
the seven-hour discussion of the
resolution and biterly opposed it.
Alto V. Lee referred to the major­ity
of the council as "the steam roller."
"I've been on steam rollers and I have
been under steam rollers and so I
know how it feels on both sides," said
Mr. Lee in referring to the six mem­bers
who put through the Tidwell
resolution and voted down the sub­stitute
resolutions offered by Mr.
Lee and Mr. Samford.
When it became evident during the
afternoon's debate that the University

DR. DOWELL ARGUES
AGAINST ACTION
Dr. Dowell's arguments against
the allotment of funds to the lead­ing
institutions for teacher's train­ing
courses under the conditions as
proposed by the State Board of Edu­cation
was summarized as follows:
1. It is contrary to the spirit, the
practice and the plan embodied in the.
Unified Education Act.
2. It infringes upon the rights and
prerogatives of the State Council of
Education and of the board of trus­tees
of the three institutions of "higher
learning.
3. It violates the principle of
"equalization'* as employed through­out
the country and as clearly impli­ed
in the act.
4. It was arrived at without the
knowledge of Auburn.
5. It violates the law in making no
appropriation to Alabama College.
6. It violates the law which stipu­lates
that the funds shall be devoted

ARCHITECTS HOLD
SPECIAL MEETING
Sigmund Nesselroth Speaks Here on
Friday Night
A special meeting of the Architec­tural
Association was held on Friday,
February the seventeenth. The ob­ject
of this meeting was to hear an
address by Mr. Sigmund Nesselroth.
The association has been endeavor­ing
for some time to get Mr. Nessel­roth
to address its members, e
Mr. Nesselroth is a graduate of
Harvard, was a member of the Bos­ton
Architectural Association, and has
studied abroad. To him, with War­ren,
Knight and Davis, is due the
credit for the beautiful building at
Birmingham of the Alabama Power
Company.
Mr. Nesselroth addressed the Asso­ciation
on "The Profession of Archi­tecture."
He brought out the fact
that the profession of architecture
was the profession of creating beau­tiful
and useful things and was to
his mind the noblest of all the profes­sions.
He also stressed as part of an
architects's training the importance
of the study of the History of Archi­tecture
and Construction. Mr. Nessel-roth's
talk was thought to be very
beneficial and was thoroughly enjoy­ed
by all.
The Association is carrying for­ward
the policies of the past semester
of getting prominent architects to
make addresses at its regular weekly
meetings.
Another prominent architect who
has recently addresses the Association
is Mr. E. O. Smith of Columbus, Ga.
Mr. Smith is president of the Geor­gia
Board of Architects.
OPELIKA ALUMNI
ALREADY ACTING
Over Sixty Members Are in New
Association
Although the Auburn Alumni As­sociation
of Opelika was organized
only last Saturday much progress has
already been accomplished.
Finding that many of the alumni
of Auburn were at present living in
Opelika someone conceived the idea
that an alumni association should be
formed there. Accordingly a meeting
was called last Saturday and at this
meeting an Auburn Alumni Associa­tion
of Opelika was organized. Mr.
R. C. Smith was elected as president
and Mr. Frazier as secretary. At
present the association has a member­ship
of over sixty.
Among the many forward steps al­ready
taken by the assocation there is
one concerning the division of. the
$100,000 teacher training fund which
has been appropriated by the State
legislature to the colleges of Alabama
under state control. At the meeting
the association formed resolutions de­claring
the division unfair to Auburn
and the Alabama College at Monte­vallo.
They urged that legal action be
taken against this division.
By Max E. Kahn
With the sunny side of the ledger
packed with bacon and a single piece
of lean on the dark page, Mike Papke
packed his "Dreadnaught Five" on the
train Thursday for the final games of
the 1928 Season. After a meeting of
ten officials, Auburn was the unanim­ous
choice of the best team to enter
the tourney this year. Many of the
mo>t prominent newspaper experts
have given Auburn the leadership
with the University of North Caro­lina
a close second. Stiff competi­tion
is to be encountered and the best
team does not always win. Georgia,
'Ole Miss, Georgia Tech and A. & M.
may be listed as teams to be watched.
Preliminaries—Clemson
Friday afternoon at 4:30, the
whistle will blow for the opening
game as far as Auburn is concerned.
Josh Cody's lads will furnish the op­position
and if they play in the form
demonstrated in the last game they
played on the Tiger court, there is
going to be some fuss in the air. When
Cody puts out a team, it's is due be
good and he impressed that on the
other teams last year as his Commo­dore
quintet sailed through all teams
in their way.
Saturday night is very likely to see
the Tigers still going unless the un-looked
for happens and either Flor­ida
or Tech will foe on hand to take
on the Tigers. Either team has had
their drubbing at Mike Papke's lad's
hands and will sure endeavor to ob­tain
revenge. But, playing up to
past form, there is no reason why the
Auburnites shouldn't remain over the
week-end. Let's hope so.
Monday, the winner of the other di­vision
of the lower bracket which in­cludes:
W. & L., Miss. A. & M., and
Virginia will lock horns with the
winner of the Tech-Auburn, or Fla.-
Auburn, fray.
Semi-Finals
Monday night the semi-finals will
be in vogue and either Auburn or
Miss. A. & M. will be strutting around
ready to take on the champs of the
upper loop. It is assumed that Au­burn
and Miss. A. & M. will be the
victors in their respective tilts in the
lower bracket. And it may also be
stated, since favories are in style, that
Auburn is going to be in the Audi­torium
again Tuesday night for the
last game. For the upper half, several
strong quintets may be mentioned as
possible winners. U. of N. C. should
beat L. S. U., 'Ole Miss, should
trounce N. C. State, Georgia will
beat V. M. I., and S. C. U. will have
a good chance to lick Kentucky. 'Ole
Miss is due to give the tarheels a
hard fight and since the Mississippi

ENGINEER'S DAY
It is with intent and earnest interest that
we turn our thoughts to the event, to be
staged in the near future, known as Engi-neer
s Day.
There has, to a great extent, been a pre­valent
feeling among a number of the stu­dents
that some means of uniting the inter­ests
of the men of the various engineering
courses should be formulated. It is believed,
then ,that by means of the plan of holding
an Engineer's Day program the opportunity
of the students cooperating and working
together with a common purpose in view
will result in a broadening of the college
. spirit. It will acquaint the men of one de­partment
with the work and happenings
in the other courses on the campus. The
exhibitions to be featured under the super­vision
of the respective societies will inevit­ably
bring about such a result.
With such a predominating spirit within,
outsiders will doubtlessly be impressed by
the activities. They will learn what Au­burn
stands for and will have demonstrated
before them the result of cooperation among
the students with a fixed purpose in mind
—to uphold Auburn and its standards.
With these purposes in view the success
of Engineer's Day is enthusiastically pre­dicted.
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY -
Throughout the country George Wash­ington's
birthday is commemorated on Feb­ruary
22 to serve the purpose of again
bringing before our thoughts the life he
liyed and the truly patriotic principles
which he represented. His truthfulness,
sincerity, patience and perseverance aided
him in making these principles a reality.
The broad expanse of his field of en­deavor
proved his ability to meet any need
and overcome any difficulty with which he
Came in contact. His presence of mind and
ability as a leader in war gave to the na­tion
the status which was early termed its
"independence."
From the scene of battle, Washington
passed to a field of still more vital import­ance
to the nation whose liberty he had
fought to obtain—to form a suitable demo­cratic
government for the states that had
been freed from British power.
The trying days of the National Conven­tion
featured Washington as the president
of the convention, from which followed a
government that is today known as the Na­tional
Government of the United States,
possessing supreme legislative, executive
and judicial powers, to be made effective
by a democratic representation of every
state and its citizens under a judiciary head.
Following the establishment of such a gov­ernment
Washington was unanimously
elected president of the United States of
America, in 1789. On April 30, on the bal­cony
of Federal Hall in New York City,
the oath of office was administered.
There followed a period of eight years in
which Washington served his country as
president, equally as well as when he com­forted
hjs men at Valley Forge and guided
them to victory in the war for independence.
He was an able and reliant president and
established enumerable standards for his
successors.
Declining to be a candidate for a third
term Washington, in a masterly state
paper, made an appeal for the highest
standards of the nation. He urged a "cor­dial,--
habitual and immovable attachment to
a national union." He enjoined upon us the
importance of Americans observing good
faith and" justice toward all nations and the
necessity of keeping clear of permanent al­liances
with any portion of the foreign
world. "Public opinion," he wrote, "should
be enlightened and public credit cherished."
In spite of the many dificulties and ex­periences
of our ^country since Washington
spoke these words, America stands today a§
a product of her "Father's" ideals and
standards. Through variances she has been
purified.
We joyfully, then, commemorate the day
of his birth in humble homage to him for the
ideals which he demonstrated for his coun­try.
THE AUBURN COLLEGIANS
As a result of the excellent showing made
by the Student Auburn Collegiate Orches­tra,
since it was organized at Auburn near
the opening of school last fall, this group
of musicians has secured for itself a fav­orable
reputation throughout the state. Max
Jones, as director of the orchestra, deserves
commendation for the type of entertainment
he has been so successful in producing.
Early in'the year the Auburn Collegians
obtained contracts to furnish musical pro­grams
for the "A" Club dances, the faculty
dances and for the Tiger Theatre. In No­vember
they were called upon to visit Man­chester,
Georgia, to provide the music for
celebrating the opening of certain public
utilities in that city. Te event produced a
means of bringing the orchestra under the
observation of the public. The programs
they produce from the radio station WAPI
on Wednesday of each week have served to
spread the name of the Auburn Collegians
far beyond the limits of Auburn.
During the Christmas holidays the plans
for the orchestra consisted df_a "good-will"
tour of South Alabama. During this week
of travel they visited a number of southern
towns and offered their best. Auburn's
name was soon spread over that part of the
state from an entirely different source from
that of any time previous.
.. The orchestra will accompany the Auburn
Glee Club on its tour of east and central
part of Alabama, which will begin on
March 5th. Some of the towns scheduled
to visit include, Anniston, Montevallo, Syla-cauga,
Roanoke, and Talladega.
In the spring, after school closes, a trip to
Europe is being planned, to extend over the
entire period of summer vacation.
' The members of the orchestra have re­ceived,
at some time, valuable training, to­gether
with the necessary experience re­quired
to produce an orchestra with the
most promising future. Max Jones at­tended
the Boston Conservatory of Music
for a year. He now has two prominent or­chestras
in Boston operating under his
name. Levin Foster attended the Cincin­nati
Conservatory of Music. He is also a
member of the Auburn Band. Others mem­bers,
including Jimmy Cone, Abie Hardin,
J. B. Jones, and John Brown have had local
training in Birmingham or Columubus.
The members of the orchestra are as fol­lows
: • Max Jones, tenor saxophone and
trumpet; Levin Foster, trumpet, clarinent
and saxophone; Jimmy Cone, saxophone;
Abie Hardin, banjo and tipple; J. B. Jones,
trombone; John Brown, tuba; Jimmy Ware,
drum and Sam Romano, piano. Three men
will be added for the glee club trip; Ben
Rives, saxophone; T. D. Allen, saxophone
and Pete Green, trumpet.
With such an unusual record as that
made by the Auburn Collegians since they
were organized in the fall, we can almost
inevitably prophecy its further success.
We are indeed hoping for and expecting a
promising future for this group of enter­tainers.
IS THE ATTACK JUSTIFIABLE?
In a rcent issue of the Birmingham Age-
Herald the following editorial appeared in
regard to the controversy that has arisen
over the prejudice shown in the donation
of the money to the colleges of Alabama
from the teachers training equalization
fund: •
"Auburn alumni at Opelika did not mince
words in their denunciation of the manner
in which the teacher training equalization
fund, appropriated by the last Legislature
for the benefit of high school instructors,
has been allocated by the State Board of
Education, with the approval of the Coun­cil
of Education.
Holding that the allotment of $65,000 to
the university and $20,000 to Auburn con­travenes
the spirit and the letter of the
statute providing for the fund, violates
the trust reposed in the board and the coun­cil,
and operates unfairly and prejudicially
toward Auburn and Montevallo, an aroused
alumni association, condmens the educa­tional
authorities for unjust and illegal dis­crimination,
appeals to the people of Ala­bama
to protest against such action, and
recommends that legal steps be taken to
prevent the unjust division of money.
This is the kind of arraignment which
members of the Board of Education had
reason to expect, in view of what was said
at the recent meeting of the council in
Montgomery. But that is no reason why
they should be so complacent about the
situation. It may be that there is no legal
remedy for supporters of institutions
which have been discriminated against. Yet
educational statesmen would scarcely have
permitted matters to reach the point of
unsparing indictment as embodied in the
accusatory resolutions adopted at Opelika.
And large-minded moulders of educational
policies in this state would have avoided
taking any action which might renew a
dying hostility between state institutions.
Since this unhappy affair has become the
basis of charges of illegality, the courts
will probably be sought for a decision in the
premises. That is not, of course, the way
in which the cause of education is helped.
But the original blunder took place in
Montgomery. It was accentuated by later
•awkwardness. The outlook and the spirit
which sought a $20,000,000 bond issue under
existing conditions could be depended upon
to continue its insistence on having the edu­cational
programs conform to the decrease
of the group in power." I •' _
All friends of the college will await with
anxiety the action of the Auburn Board of
Trustees before which the matter- will
necessarily be presented, since the trustees
possess the legal responsibility of finally
determining the policies which will affect
the program and services of the college.
MEDITATIONS
ON THIS AND THAT
S y lupiter f. Thvius
This week has been set aside as Better
Speech Week. The particular point fdr. em­phasis
this year is building up a vocabu­lary
by using the dictionary. I suggest
that the most logical step for most of us
would be to learn to pronounce the word
dictionary. Few of us pronounce it correct-ly.
It seems to me that the words which we
need most to add to our vocabularies are
some of the common ones which we do not
use because of various.reasons, chief among
which is laziness. A word that most of
us need to learn to use is the contraction
doesn't. Everyone has his pet aversion in
grammatical mistakes; mine is the use of
don't in the third person singular.' "It
don't matter," "She don't like me," "He
don't eat spinach"—it seems to me that I
hear such expressions every hour. My rare
visits to the movies are invariably marred
by the- occurence of this error in at least
one title in each picture. A division of the
contraction into its component parts re­veals
the glaring error in saying "he don't"
and the like..
Let's start now, during Better Speech
Week, to improve our grammar; it is pos­sible
that a chance visitor on the campus
might get the impression that we don't
know any better English than that which
A curious weakness of present-day col­legians,
born" of a solt altruism, is to give
positions of emolument to students whose
chief qualifications is that they need the
money to go to college. In case two per­sons
of equal ability—with emphasis on the
word equal—apply for a position, then it
is not inconsistent with sound business
policy to favor the one who is in most need
of the money. However, when we give
lucrative jobs to men who are incapable of
performing them efficiently, we cheat our­selves,
and moreover, do them infinite
harm, all under the name of "lending a
helping hand." More intelligent foresight
and less mass altruism is needed in the al-lottment
of responsible positions by our
college student bodies.

A northern man of letters recently
aroused a storm of protest from southern
chamber-of-commerce secretaries when he
casually remarked that there is no civiliza­tion
south of the Mason and Dixon Line.
If I remember correctly, it was Henry Louis
Mencken who said something to the same
effect a year or two ago. A few days ago
Richard Bennett told an Atlanta audience
that he was coming back to the South—in
not less than forty years.
My optimistic hope that they might be
wrong was given a jolt recently when I
came in contact with a person who is "free,
white, and twenty-one (and more)" who
didn't know who wrote David Copperfield
and The Old Curiosity Shop. Let me make
it plain that I don't consider a mind like
a card-index an earmark of civilization, I
wouldn't have expected her to know who
wrote TractaiuB Theologico-Politicus, but
to find a person in a college town who
doesn't instinctively and instantly connect
the names of those two novels with that of

we are living in a second Athens.
Although Paul Smith has well nigh reach­ed
the peak of perfection, we think it only
just and proper to note that he makes mis­takes
and blunders as the rest of us poor
mortals do. While a recent itinerary to
that well known country town of Clanton,
Alabama, he made this very serious break.
It happened that the train was late and it
was dark when he arrived. He spryly alight­ed
from the train and saw what he thought
to be his Lady of Dreams awaiting him.
Quite naturally he skipped up to her in a
brisk manner, caressed her, and purred love
notes in her ear.
She was So completely overwhelmed by
Smith's attentions she could hardly breathe.
Finally Smith relaxed and came up for air.
When he did this, she, sighing and slowly
turning up her dusky face, softly murmur­ed,
"Mr. Smith, you sho am a mos' pow'ful
smaht man."
We have discovered that Buddy Geiss has
at last and after much hunting found a

The report has been circulated that Buddy
and Polly will begin their epochan journey
in the near future. Maybe, when they are
hunting big game in the jungles down there,
they will recall the good old days at Auburn
when one could go 'possum hunting without
even having a dog along.
It seems that Rat Walter Smith has pub­lished
a pamphlet entitled "Women Never­more."
He must mean to try to live up to
the ideals and standards he sets forth in his
little book, judging from the way in which
he has discontinued paying his attentions
to a certain young lady here in Auburn.
Or maybe-well, what?
Rodney Mathews, after a brief visit to
Florida State College for Women on which
he attended the Junior-Senior Leap-Year
dance, states that he was rushed terribly
while on his visit. The girls would trick
one, too, for they persuaded him to go out
with them one night and he had to walk ten
miles to get back to town.
We see that "Rabbi" Rudder is wearing
a sorority pledge pin. The girls have also
put him to work, for we saw him coming
down the street the other day with a coal
scuttle in his hand, apparently bound for
some, place where he could get coal for
nothing. However, he won't have to do
this after he pays his dues.

Book Review
THE SILVER CHORD
By Sidney Howard
Shaw contends that a child's love for
its parents is superfluous, and that re­production
is the fundamental responsibility
of man and wife. Sidney Howard ad­vances
still further with the theme that
"mother love" might even prove disastrous.
Truly, in the Silver Chord, the mother mis­construes
maternal devotion, and conse­quently
binds her sons to strongly with the
silver chord.
David Phelps is the favorite son, and
finds it impossible to apportion his love
equally to his mother and to Christina,
his wife. Mrs. Phelps contentiously re­iterates
her fear of losing her entire grip
on the hearts of her "two, fine boys." Chris­tina
contends for only her share of devo­tion.
But David, the fought-over, is one of
those deliberately dazed persons, and in­sists
that neither of them "make a moun­tain
out of a mole hill." . . .
Robin, the younger son, acclaims his love
for Hester, who dispassionately returns it.
Now, Mrs. Phelps is unable to bear the
visualization of any one else reaping the
fruits from her toil of parenthood. And
so that's why we have a play.
Mrs. Phelps prompts her precious Robin
to sever his engagement to Hester. He does.
His mother continues to annoy Hester until
she, in an effort to rid herself of the mis­erable
Mrs.. Phelps, attempts a departure
at night, during which falls victim to a
hole in the ice.
As Christina, who is innately in sym­pathy
with Hester, yells for help. . . .
As Hester is almost drowning. . . .
(and as one intellectual progeny in the
audience wonders if Hester has' a wooden
leg, and if it will consequently make her
float). . . . .
And as David and Robin rush to the
rescue. . . .
As all this happens, Mrs. Phelps cries
pitifully for "her darling boys to get their
coats or they'll catch cold."
Christina's speech in the third act pre­sents
a discussion of various types of love,
containing the theme of the play. The
climax is reached when she," at the end of
her lines, demands that David choose be­tween
herself and Mrs. Phelps. Robin is

were to return their national charters, it
would make little, or no, actual difference
to anyone. There would still be the house

organized at Carnival for the club. There
would be the opportunity for friendship,
which, in the end, is all that a fraternity

Notes of the Societies
TAU BETA PI
Tau Beta Pi has inaugurated a plan
of having a formal meeting in the
form of a luncheon once a month.
The first one "of this particular type
of meetings which was held at the Au­burn
Inn at 6 P. M., February 6,
1928, was a howling success. Plenty
of clever jokes were told on the vari­ous
members of the society. Our own
beloved Stumpy Feagin was the target
for the majority of the jokes. They
say his girl knows him so well that
when she sent him a telegram a few
days ago, that she put the word stop
after each sentence.
Plans are" under way for the selec­tion
of new members for the society.
My advice to the Juniors is to work
hard, develop a pleasing personality,
mix with the Seniors and engage in
some form of student activity. Grades
alone will never elect you to Tau Beta
Pi.
The meeting Monday night, Feb.
20, was a diversion from the regular
type of meetings. Professor Daugh-rity
gave a very interesting and in­structive
talk on the essentials of good
public speaking. He answered in a.
informal way any questions that were
asked regarding public speaking.
WIRT
The Wirt Literary Society held its
regular meeting in Wirt Hall on Tues­day,
February 21, 1928. The pro­gram
was built around the life and
character of our first president. J.
G. Carter told of Washington's early
boyhood giving a very interesting talk
though not including the famous cher­ry
tree incident. His entrances into
public notice as discussed by C. H.
Brown, and the most striking traits
of his character, by D. C. Nation gave
new pictures of one whom everyone
knows something about. A review of
his life as President was given by
Miss Julia Price. As a fitting sum­mary
and close to the program, W. C.
Weldon presented a discussion of how
Washington helped in the develop­ment
of our country. The entire pro­gram
was announced very good by
the critic, and the .members of the so­ciety
who were present agreed with
him.

ball predominated for a time, with the
opinion that Vines would make a

The entire program was given over
to Professor W. W. Hill of the elec­trical
engineering department. Pro­fessor
Hill brought before the atten­tion
of the society the coming conven­tion
of the student branches of the

to be well represented there.
Professor Hill discussed the growth
of industry toward the Southeastern
section of the country. He showed
that with this development in the
Southeast there would come engineers
from other sections of the country

held its regular bimonthly meeting
Feb. 20. Mr. A. P. Francis, presi­dent
of the society called the society
to order and the minutes of the pre­vious
meeting were read by Mr. H.
M. Hanbury.
A report of the committee to assist
in getting "Engineer Day" started
was made by Mr. W. C. Hurt. The
A. S. M. E. is behind this movement
and will dq, everything in its power
to make it a success.
Mr. Dan Sikes, introduced the first
speaker of the evening. Mr. Chris-tensen.
Mr. Christensen presented to
the society a talk on Railroad Tun­nel
Construction, describing the con­struction
details and problems in ex­cavating
and completing of the Mof­fat
Railroad Tunnel in Colorado.
Mr. G. B. Ashcraft being the next
speaker of the evening gave a very in­teresting
talk on Human Engineer­ing.
Following Mr. Ashcraft's talk the
society again got another chance to
hear Mr. Hurt. With several sketches
drawn on the blackboard, Mr. Hurt
succeeded in telling the society many
very interesting things about the
production of Graphite.
We had several visitors at the last
meeting, among them was Mr. E. O.

CHEMICAL SOCIETY
The society held its regular meet­ing
Monday night at 7 o'clock, Room
212 of the Main Building. After elec­tion
of Plainsman reporter the follow­ing
program was rendered.
"Nitrogen Fixation," was discussed
by Mr. Wickliffe Stewart. He says
that in reality the main constituents
of nitrogen fixation are air, water
and coal, all of which the United
States has a bountiful supply. Ni
trogen is invaluable to the farmer in
the form of fertilizer. Most of our
fertilizers are by-products of the am­monia
industries. Mr. Stewart brief­ly
explained the Art and Haber-Bosch
Processes for extraction of nitrogen
The former is better where large
quantities of electricity are available.
The latter is a more modern process
and is rapidly coming into use.
Mr. W. B. Strickland's talk on "Ice
that melts to a gas," was very inter­esting.
The modern refrigeration in­dustries
are about to be revolutioz-ized
by a coldness obtained from the
reduction of solid carbon-dioxide to a
liquid-carbon-dioxide. Mr. Strick­land
stated that this new ice is not
only useful in refrigeration cars, but
that a small piece of it will lower the
temperature in a package sent
through the mail sufficiently to pre­serve
its contents for a long distance.
Another feature of this new ice is the
protectiveness of the gas given off by
it, while the air from plain ice is often
destructive to many articles. »

Vienna Wins Cotton States Tournament SPORTS
Vienna High Retains Championship
of Cotton States Winning Tourney
Tech High Defeated By Champions in Extra
Three-Minute Period Played
By George Ashcraft
.It is written "They never repeat,"
but Vienna High, champion Cotton
Etates Tourney team of 1927, came
through in a fierce extra-minute
period in the finals to beat Tech High
26 to 24. The game was a fitting
ending for a great tournament, and
was the most thrilling of all the
finals of the Cotton States Tourna­ments.
Tech had come in after a
greulling battle with Athens, 37 to 35,
in the semi-finals, while Vienna had
turned back Knoxville, 38 to 24.
A powerful defense, which frus­trated
the hitherto smooth working
wonder five almost held the South
Georgians. Unexpected breaks manu­factured
by the Vienna five, gaining
two wide open shots in the extra
period, decided the game in favor of
Vienna.
ALL-COTTON STATES TEAM
"Buster" Mott, the flashy long­distance
shooting star, was the back­bone
of the Tech offensive and his 13
points in the closing fracas won him
the position of outstanding forward,
with a total of 49 points for the four
games. B. Walters, star forward for
Vienna, was given the other forward
position on the all-Cotton States team.
Walters had a total of 44 points, one
point less than his team-mate Home,
but he was a more valuable player.
Capt. Raines, of Vienna, by his abil­ity
to put jump all opposing centers,
including the Knoxville of six feet,
six inches, and his value in the
scrimmaging under the basket, earn­ed
him the post of center. Capt.
Mike O'conner, of Knoxville High,
was the best running guard in the
tourney, although there were those
who liked Capt. Stearns, of Tech
High. However, Stearns could not
keep pace with O'Conner on the floor
and was not as smooth a player. Back
.guard went emphatically to- Capt.
Leathers, of Athens, one of the best
last-station men in Dixie prepdom.
Despite his rugged play in defense of
his basket he was penalized but three
times in three games.
SMOOTHEST TEAM
Of all the teams in the tourney
Knoxville- presented the smoothest
working floor aggregation. Only
nine fouls were charged against the
Tennesseeans during three games,
and in one game the Knoxville team
drew but one foul.
OPENING ROUND
Millport Cops Opener
The tournament was opened by
Millport and Tallapoosa County High,
Millport emerging the victory by a
50-26 score. Topped by the giant
Godfrey and a dribbling forward
named Blalock, Tallapoosa came up
from behind immediately after the
third quarter opened and the count
was 24-29, but the winners soon mov
ed away. The smoothest player on
the floor was Kimbrough, center of
the losing team.
Line-up: Millport (50); Prater
(10) and Blalock (15), forwards;
Godfrey (17), center; Shackleford (8)
and Weathers, guards. Dadeville

Subs: Millport, R. Prather; Dade­ville,

Slocomb Steps Out
After playing a nip-and-tuck battle
for three quarters, Sheffield, Slocomb
forward, made a run-away game of it
for his team in the last quarter, beat­ing
Hale County, of Greensboro, 26-13.
The score was tied three times and
the last quarter started with the
score 12-12. Here Sheffield got
started and shot five goals in two
minutes. Slocomb cubstitued at the
last minute for Marianna, Fla., who
was prevented from aottending the
tournament. Straiton and Beard for
Gireensbo^o and Sheffield with 18-
points, starred.

Athens Has Easy Time
• Athens High of Georgia ran the
Chambers County outfit into the
ground with very little trouble to
the tune of 33 to 14. Athens scored
when necessary and apparently ex­erted
itself as little as posible. Good­man,
Barret, and Leathers, for Athens
and Treadwell for Chambers, starred.

Tech High Eliminates A. M. I.
Another interesting game was that
of Tech High, of Atlanta, and A. M.
I., of Annistoh. The Georgians, led
by White and Mott, who scored 14
points each, took a 47-29 count from
tehm after a hard struggle. They
took a lead and held it to the end of
the game.
Line-up: Tech High (47): White
(14) and Mott (14), forwards;'Ham­mond,

Auburn Trounces
Florida In Final
Game of Season
By George Ashcraft
In the final game of the season the
Auburn Tigers took the University
of Florida basketeers inxtow to th6
tune of 38 to 29. Auburn jumped into
-the lead- early in the game and held
it until the final gun, the score at
the half being 24-13. The team eased
up in the second half and Florida
threatened, getting within two points,
but Auburn gradually drew away and
held a substantial lead at the end of
the game.
Jelly again led the high scorers with
a total of 14 points for the night,
bringing his total for the season up
to 282. In addition to closely guard­ing
the opposing team, the James
twins also managed to cage several
points, Ebb getting nine and Fob get­ting
three.
For Florida the work of Crabtree
stood out, making him high point for
the losing team with ten points. Mc-
Lucas at the other forward also play­ed
a good game and shot nine points.
This game brought the total score
of the team up to 870, an average of
over 48 points a game, as compared
with opponents' 456 points, or an aver­age
of about 25 points a game.

By C. T. Ingersoll
Class football started last Friday
afternoon on Drake Field, when the
dignified Seniors donned their foot­ball
togs and gave the Rats a thrash­ing.
The score came as a result of
"a pass, Daugette to Rudder, in the
third quarter, and the latter sprinted
20 yards for a touchdown. They fail­ed
to make the extra point.
It was classed as a football game,
but turned out to be more or less of
an aquatic affair. The rain fell in
sheets during the whole game, and
turned the field into a. big mud
puddle. Fumbles and bad passes were
frequent due to this mud.
In the first quarter the Seniors
kicked off. Woodall, Senior Fullback,
was hurt on the second play. The Rats
then fumbled, and the Seniors recov­ered.
The seniors with Kenny lead­ing
the attack, hit the line several
times and made two first downs. They
were held on the next plays and the
ball went over. The rest of this
quarter was taken up in exchanging
punts, and little ground gaining was
done either team. Both teams fumb­led
often, due to the slippery ball.
The second quarter opened with Wind
losing 13 yards and the Frosh punted.
It was the prettiest punt of the day
and covered about 50 yards in all.
The teams exchanged several punts,
and tried pass after pass, but none
were completed for much gain. Harry
Fox, big flaring center for the
Seniors, intercepted a pass on his 20
yard line. Then Rudder snagged a
pass for five yard gain. The Seniors
tried two more passes, which were in­complete,
and they were penalized 5
yards for excessive passing. Kenny
caught a pass just as the whistle blew
for the half. The score was Seniors
0, Rats 0.
The Seniors chose to kick, defend­ing
the South goal. Fox kicked off,
and the Freshmen brought it back to
about mid fied. The Rats failed to
make first down by inches. Then sev­eral
punts were exchanged. Several
passes were attempted by the Seniors,
one being completed for 10 yards and
another for 5 yards. Then the Seni­ors
failed to make first down, and the
ball went over. The Rats made 6
yards on line plays, and fumbled,
Gregory recovering for the Seniors.
Then a beautiful pass, Daugette to
Rudder, was good for'the touchdown.
Daugette was running at full speed,
when he threw the oval, and Rudder
did some beautiful running after re­ceiving
the ball. For extra point the
Seniors tried a pass, Daugette to
Gregory, which was knocked down, so
the score stood:, Seniors 6, Rats 0.
Gregory kicked off for the Seniors
and Shaber brought the ball back to
mid-field. The Rats tried two passes,
and Daugette intercepted one and ran
to his 30 yard line, as the quarter
ended. At this point the Rats sent
in several subs. The Seniors failed
twice to gain at center. Daugette
made 6 yards on left end, and on the
next play the Seniors were penalized
15 yards for holding. Daugette. punt­ed
to Rats 5 yard line. The teams
exchanged punts. Then Sparks, star
quarterback for the Freshmen, broke
loose and did some beautiful broken
field running, and made 15 yards.
He made another first down on the
next play, and on the next play, his
ankle was hurt, and he was taken out.
Neither'team threatened to score for
the rest of the game.
For the Seniors, Carol Worthington
played a wonderful game at quarter­back,
running his team in a fine way.
He made some nice gains due to his
swiftness. Daugette, Ruder, and
Kenny has a good deal to do with the
gains that the Seniors made. Rudder
and Daugette showed exceptional
form in catching and throwing passes.
Kenny was the main stay in the line
smashing plays.
The whole Senior line played so well
together that it would be hard to

U WEEMIE" BASKIN, FORMER
AUBURNITE, WINS HURDLES
By Max E. Kahn
After only a months training in the
far North, Weemie Baskin entered his
first indoor race last Monday in the
New York Athletic Club and repeat­ed
his former practice of taking the
lead. As competition, Baskin has rep­resentatives
of Cornell and Dart­mouth
along side of him, the best in
the East. The event was special,
being a 60 yards high hurdle run, and
on an indoor track. Although Bas­kin
in an outdoor runner, he took the
lead and fairly sailed over the hurdles
to finish first with remarkable time;
only one-fifth of a second behind the
world's record for this event.
It looks as if the North or I should
have saip^ East is agreeing with
Weems and he has an excellent chance
of making a great name for himself,
if he keeps up the good work. Well,
we're all behind you Baskin, do your
stuff.

Tigers Show Great Form After
Week's Rest
By C. T. Ingersoll
The Ole fighting Tigers had no
trouble in licking the University of
Florida on the local court last Sat­urday
night. The final result was 58
to 32, and the Tigers took an early
lead, and held it throughout. Crab­tree
made the first score by shooting
a foul, and "Moon" Mullins shot a
foul to make it one all. Florida got
a field goal, and by this time Akin
and DuBose were warmed up, and the
Tigers forged ahead, never to be
threatened in the rest of the game.
At the half the score was 22 to 9, with
the Florida team on the smaller end.
This was the first game that Au­burn
had played in a week, so the
team was well rested, and pulled some
pretty team work, which was hard for
the Florida team to break up.
Florida came back in the second
half ami tried many long shots, and
they made some very beautiful ones
from mid-floor. They made 21 points
in the latter half of the game.
Auburn had a good size lead to­wards
the end of the game, and so the
reserves were given a chance to show
their stuff. Smith, tall Auburn cen­ter,
played an excellent game, and due
to his height had little trouble in
getting the tip-off. Our strong re­serves
this year have aided us great­ly
in putting out a winning team.
"Jelly" Akin ran wild in the af­fair,
and was high point m*»n with
the large sum of 22 points. His
shooting was very accurate, and each
play was timed to prefection. There
are very few games, that the Tigers
have played this year when Akin was
not high point man.
"Moon" Mullins was playing in
"Buck" Ellis's place, and "Buck" was
in for "Ebb" James. "Ebb," although
just getting over a few days sickness,
went in for about a quarter after the
first half, and played his usual good
brand of ball. "Moon" worked like a
veteran in "Buck's" old position, and
made some nice shots.
Ellis is good in any position in
which Coach Papke places him. He
fights from start to. finish, and we
see that he is a hard man to play

Complete Schedule Not Yet
Arranged
By Max E. Kahn
According to Coach Mike Papke,
who has complete charge of the Inter-
Frat basketball tourney, the games
will be started next week. The offi­cial
dates and pairings have not been
finally selected, but this is due to be
completed as soon as.the S. I. C. tour­ney
in Atlanta is over.
All frats desiring to enter the tour­nament
must get in touch with Papke,
pay their entrance fee and draw for
their opponents. This must be done
as soon as possible. All further in­formation
may be obtained at the
gym.
The tourney will be very much of
the order of last year. Two leagues
will be in vogue, National and Ameri­can,
-and elimination will decide the
winner of each league. The winners
will hook horns in a series to decide
the 1928 Frat basketball champs at
Auburn. So—take a hint and get that
team together. Practice makes per­fect

Elected Manager
Basketball Squad
-—By Max E. Kahn
A familiar face on the campus has
been elected to a very prominent posi­tion—"
Little Square" Salter, will in
the future act in the office of Mana­ger
of the 1928 Auburn Basketball
team.
Salter was eligible to this position
through his intense interest in the
team and players. He has in the
past served as scorer and has made
every trip in the past two years. In
the evenings he has volunteered his
aid to help Coach Papke in any and
all ways possible. It is a privilege
that few are worthy of, but this
seems to be an exception.
The "A" Club voted on the election
and Salter duly became official mana­ger
this week. Candidly, he should
make a very good governor. Let's
hope so!
Junior and Soph
Class Teams Play
To 6*6 Deadlock
Sophomores Given Game By
Mere Two Yards
By C. T. Ingersoll
' In one of the most disputed games
in the history of football, the Juni­ors
and Sophomores played for class
supremacy last week, and it ened up
in a tie, as to score. The score- was
6 all. However the aggreement in
such case was to give the game to the
team that made the most yardage,
and when this was added up, it was
found that there was a difference of
two yards in the Sophs favor. So
after much controversy on both sides,
the ex-Rats were given the decision.
The Juniors had a fighting, line-smashing
team, and outplayed the
Sophs for three quarters. Many
games are won in the last quarter,
and so it was in this case.
Mosley, of the Juniors kicked-off
to the Soph center who brought the
ball back to 50 yard line. The Juni-ors
made good gains throughout this
quarter, due to Mosely and Densmore
hitting the line. They made four
first downs in this period, while "the
Sophs failed to register one. Jones,
soph quarterback, got off some long
punts in this quarter. The "quarter
ended with the ball in the Junior's
possession.
The Juniors then started off a
steady drive down the field with Mos­ley
and Densmore leading the attack,
which ended in a score. Mosley got
5 yards and Densmore made 1 and
then 2. Densmore over right tackle
for 10 yards. The Juniors then made
7 yards in two plays. Densmore got 1
at left tackle, and Mosley went over
for fist down. Densmore failed at
center, and on next play Mosley hit
the line for a touchdown. Mosley
failed to kick goal. Score: Juniors
6, and Sophs. 0. Densmore was hurt
on last play, and Nichols was sent in.
Mosley kicked off, and the Sophs
returned 20 yards. Gilbert made 8
yards on pass, and on next play the
Sophomores fumbled, and Juniors re­covered.
The rest of this quarter was
evenly played with neither team snak­ing
a first down. Jones outpunted
,the Juniors. The Sophs were pen­alized
once for offsides.
The Sophomores kicked off to the
Juniors after the half, the ball going
to the Junior 30 yard line. Juniors
were penalized 5 yards, off-sides.
Juniors were forced to kick, the ball
going 35 yards. Yarbrough threw
Jones for 4 yard loss. Soph pass fell
short . Pass, Jones to Crawford,
brought first down. Another pass
gave first down. Still another pass,
Jones to Lively, gave first down.
Sojph pass incomplete .and Juniors
penalized 5 yards for off-sides. The
remainder of this quarter was spent
in making small gains and exchang­ing
punts. The Juniors received two
5 yard penalties.
Jones made firs^t down through the
line. Then Spann intercepted a pass

SECOND ROUND
Vienna Marchei On
In the opening game of the second
round, Vienna won its way to the
semi-finals by defeating Slocomb High
67 to 13, the highest score of the en­tire
tournament. The' Georgia five
got off to an early lead and had soon
piled up a big score on the Slocomb
team. Vienna used substitutes for
more than half the game. Home led

Millport Geea Oul
Athens High waded into the semi­finals
at the expense of Millport High,
49 to 20. The count of 21 to 8 at the
close of the first quarter eliminated
practically all prospect, of competi­tion.
Athens slowed down and Mill­port
fought harder during the third
quarter and made a game of it, each
scoring five points, but the Georgi­ans
entered the last quarter with a
score almost double Millport's. Good­man's
six baskets were best for the
game. Capt. Leathers played a good
defensive game for Athens.

the expense of Five Points 40 to 26.
Gaining a lead of 12-2 at the first
quarter the Tennessee team made
things easy -for the* remainder of the
route, being 20 points ahead at half
time. Five Points threatened during
the last half, but their effort was not
sustained. O'Cohner running guard
on the Knoxville team, continued his
all-round play and was easily the out­standing
star of the game. Hodges
was high point scorer of the game

Smithies Beat Malone
Tech High won out over Malone
High 42 to 20 in a one sided contest.
The Atlanta team after a rather slow
first period opened up in the second
half and forged ahead to attain a
large lead, which they held until the
final whistle. The work of Mott and
White aided the Smithy cause great­ly,
the latter scoring 14 points, while
Mott sent the sphere through the bas­ket
for 11 points. The defensive play
of Stearns and Chandler also stood
out in the Tech work. Boone, rangy
center, in addition to being high point
man with 10 points for Malone, played
an all-round good floor game.

r ~ SEMI-FINALS
Tech Barely Wins
Tech High barely eked out the right
to go to the finals by nosing out
Athens 37-35, in a sensational game.
Tech got away to an early lead; and
but for that doubtless would have lost,
as the Athens hoys were rapidly gain­ing
during the last half. The half
ended 23-11, but Athens managed to
tie the score 32-32 in the closing
minutes. Here Athens went into the
lead with a goal, but Tech came back
with another. Chadler then caged a
long one, and Stearns shot a foul, and
the game was over.

Vienna Repeats
—Vienna went into the finals after
Knoville had held them even for a
quarter and a half. The final count
was 38 to 24. B. Walters, shot 20
points for high score. O'Conner play­ed
his usual stellar game. Raines at
center got the jump most of the time
and was a valuable man under the
basket.

VIENNA WINS IN FINALS
The Vienna team came out for the
final game apparently on the war­path,
and ran up 11 points while Tech
High was collecting three tallies. The
first quarter ended 11 to 5, but the
Atlanta team pulled up to 14-14 soon
after the second period opened. Then
White, star forward for Tech, was
forced out on personal fouls, which
was a serious blow to Tech. The half
eneded 17 to 15 in favor of Tech.
Mott's long shooting was responsible
for Tech's ascent.- The Vienna team
was not functioning as perfectly as
against weaker foes, and the Tech de­fense
was terribly tight.
Vienna tied the count soon after the
second half opened, but Tech gained
a one-point margin on Capt. Stearns'
free toss, then on a throw in play
G, Walter pitched a high one to
Raines and he batted it in for a tie.
Here Mott sank another long one and
Home dropped in a free to make the
count 21-20, Tech, at the end of the
third quarter.
Mott got a couple of free throws
and made one good as the final quar­ter
opened, but Witcher tied the count
at- 22-all with four minutes to go.
Both teams were playing deliberate
ball and waiting for an opening.
Tech's .defense was so tight that
Vienna was unable to piere it. The
final gun found the score still 22-22.
Both Vienna and Tech missed at a
goal soon after the extra period open­ed,
but Mott got loose and sank one
for a lead. B. Walters broke loose
and dribbled through for a cold shot
and again tied the count. Time was
called out again by Tech High for
Mott, who was suffering from a
strained leg muscle. One minute and
a half remained to play. On another
smart throw-in play Raines passed
in and Home slipped under the bas­ket
for a crip shop that won the game
and the Cotton States Championship
for 1928.
" Mott was the big star of the game
while the defense of Tech was a work
of art. The all-around play of Capt.
Raines, and good defensive work by
Witcher featured for Vienna.

game.
At the center positions we have
Frank DuBose, who is the best cen­ter
in the whole United States, and
this can be extended to the whole
world. The Florida boys did not
know what to expect at any time from
Frank, for he kept them guessing at
every move, as to what he was going
to do next. When the game was over,
Frank had chalked up 11 points.
Even though "Fob" James did not
do much on the scoring end, he play­ed
his part in the game, for his ef­forts
were used in keeping Florida's
score down by closely guarding the
'Gators.
Crabtree and Perrine were out­standing

lads have shown their quality in the
Auburn gym, I believe that they'll
come through. Georgia is a good pick
for the other game. But, 'Ole Miss
has a split series with the Georgians
and it is a toss up as to which of these
would win. Coming down to the main
event, then, Auburn has a good chance
to play a team that she has already
beaten, for her final dish. We'll bow
our heads in prayer! Eat 'em up
Tigers and le^s hope hopes come
through.
The above two paragraphs, may be
all wrong, if so they're plumb rotten,
as the saying goes; but you never
can tell and it is a good bet that some
of those pickings are coming true.
Well, after the tourney, look back and
see. It costs nothing to pick 'em.
Record
Auburn, has had the best season
any gym court team has had since
the organization of the college. Fif­teen
Southern Conference quintets
representing eight of the best colleges
in the south were encountered and all
were disposed of in a very likely
manner with the exception of one, 'ole
Miss. 'Ole Miss had the honor of
beating the Orange and Blue five in
the first game of a two game series
by a single point, but the Tigers won
the second go, 53-38.
Auburn's total score is the highest
of any team in the U. S. for the same
number of College games. Several
teams have claimed this honor but the
Tigers have always led .them by a
few points. University of Arkansas's
Razorbacks and the University of
Pittsburgh five are the next in line.
A general average per tilt will run
around fifty points, maybe a point
less.

Jelly Akin is the leading scorer on
Auburn's team, the leading scorer in
the Southern Conference and a pos­sible
candidate as leading Collegiate
scorer in the country. His total is
around 300 points for the nineteen
frays, is a record and is remarkable.
His average per tilt is close to 15
points. "^
But Akin cannot get too much
praise; Ellis, DuBose, Ebb" and Fob
James were here, there and every­where.
Each player did his share;
team-work was used and no individu­ality'was
in practice. The dribbling,
passing, shooting and above all, the
spirit of the team as a whole was
worthy of their coaching and Mike
Papke, the coach, himself.
Mike Papke
Mike Papke, is the one man that
deserves praise ifxonly one is to be
honored. It was through his efforts
and work that this team was or­ganized,
instructed and put into the
correct frame of mind. It was
Papke that formed a squad of reserves
to go into the games whenever need­ed
and the reserves sure came to the
front under his tutelage.
Summary
A summary of this season can be
nothing but bright. Everyone did
their best to backihe team. And that
very point helped to win more than
one of the games. The players ap­preciated
every act the students made
in their behlaf. Yet, another chance
to help the best basketball team in the
South may arise. If Auburn wins
her way to the semi-finals, quite a
few supporters are expected to be on
hand to cheer them on to the finals.
Let's all be there if possible and give
the Tiger our best support. Letter
roar Tigers!

Besides the formal dance Saturday

Tom Walthall, with battalions

are just a very few of the myriads
of compliments that were showered
on our band by the admiring Mobi-lians.
There were one day and three night
parades of the age-old Mobile mystic
societies during the Carnival season,
and in each of these the Auburn band
drilled splendidly and played beauti­fully.
It indeed proved itself a credit
to Mari Gras and to Auburn.
The band also gave afternoon con­certs
in Bienville Square each day it
was in Mobile, "&nd played for the
Coronation of King Felix III, King
of Misrule, and his Queen on Monday
night.
Dan Cupid under the subtle influ­ence
of the dreamy southern moon,
took this opportunity to work his will
on various members of the Auburn
band. In fact, several report that
their hearts were stolen under cover
of fond and tender caresses. . . .

Some call it mellowness
SOME say that Camel is the mellowest ciga­rette
ever made. Some that it's mild and
smooth. It's really all good things in one,
and that is why it is supreme upon the
pinnacle of modern favor. Camel's popu­larity
today is the largest that any cigarette
ever had.
And, it costs something to make this kind
of a smoke. It costs the choicest tobaccos
that money can buy, and a blending that
spares neither time nor expense. Each
Camel cigarette is as full of value as the
world of tobacco can give.
You can be sure of smoking pleasure,
serene and full, in these quality cigarettes.
Smoke all of them you want; they simply
never tire the taste.
'Have, a Camel!" 0»M
