County Agent Lists Remedies
For Present Maladjustments
In Agriculture
Remedies for the present malad­justments
in agriculture in Lee Coun­ty
were pointed out by C. H. Beding-field,
County Agent, at the Lions
Club luncheon yesterday in the
Thomas Hotel. Mr. Bedingfield stat­ed
that farming conditions are very
bad at present in Lee County, listing
as some of the causes an attempt to
make money instead of a living; the
one crop system; a poor distribution
of both labor and income; low per-acre
yields; high living standards;
and the exchange of cheap cotton for
high priced foods and feeds.
Listing 3%me of the facts to be
faced about the present situation as
outlined in a bulletin prepared by the
County Agricultural Committee, Mr.
Bedingfield made the following re­port:
"We produced over 20,000
bales of cotton last year, yet our
. farmers, with few exceptions, must
have financial assistance to make a
crop this year. At least 800 farm
families hardly know where the next
meal is coming from. Our average
per acre yield of lint cotton is 135
pounds; our corn yield is only 11
bushels. Our corn production fell
short of actual farmer needs by 208,-
051 bushels while our hay shortage
was 19,000 tons. For each 100 farm­ers,
13 do not own a milk cow, 60
do not have a brood sow, 56 do not
own a pig, and 84 do not grow any
hay."

in the south attended the conference,
Dr. McGehee being one of the num­ber.
Upon his return to Auburn he ex­pressed
himself as being very favor­ably
impressed with the conference,
which was the first of its kind. He
said that the proceedings will be
studied and analyzed. He expects a
forward step in church work in re­ligious
education to result from it.

MURPHY HIGH SCHOOL WINS
ANNUAL DRAMATIC TOURNEY
Murphy High School, of Mobile,
was the winner of the fifth annual
dramatic tournament which closed
Saturday night. The other schools
which played in the finals were
Shades-Cahaba, Birmingham; Sump
"ter County High, York; and Wood-lawn,
Birmingham. "The Bishop's
Candlesticks", presented under the
direction of Mrs. Louise Hamil, was
the winning play. The cup was pre­sented
by President Knapp, who
stressed the cultural gain to the two
hundred high school girls and boys
participating in the contest.
The tournament was by far the
largest ever held at Auburn, accord­ing
to a statement made by Professor
Judson,' head of the Department of
Speech. "The number of schools
participating", said Professor Jud­son,
'.'was eight more than the num­ber
participating in the largest pre-l
vious tournament. Then, too," he
continued, "the number of last-min­ute
withdrawals was only two."
Commenting on the large amount
of work necessary to the managing
of the contest, Professor Judson
stated, "The work of Professor Shav­er
and of the Auburn Players, to­gether
with the splendid assistance
of Dr. Gosser and other members of
the English department, permitted an
exceptionally smooth-running tourna­ment.
Those actively in charge of
the contest," he added, "were given
the finest of cooperation by the mer­chants
and the townspeople in the
securing of stage properties." Fra­ternities,
sororities, and individual
homes were thrown open for the re­ception
and entertainment of the
large number of participants.
According to Professor Judson,
plans are already being developed
for the tournament next year.
Auburn's pistol team last week de­feated
the Iowa" State College team
by a score of 1,305 to 1,279 in a
match fired between the teams of the
two institutions. Auburn's team per­centage
now stands* at 400 with eight
more matches to fire.
The squad has recently been cut
to ten men to give more time for
practice for the National Field Ar­tillery
R. O. T. C. match. The ten
men composing the present squadare:
P. Appleby, T. W. Clarkson, C. E.
Howard, O. W. Ivej, F. Means,
T. Newman, D. P. Johnson, G.
Sanford, F. N. Williams, and J.
Wood.
O. S. Spears, a freshman in Edu­cation
and representing the Educa­tion
Club, received the award of five
dlolars in gold for winning the speech
contest Monday night sponsored by
Alpha Phi Epsilon, National Foren­sic
Fraternity. The purpose of A.
Phi- E. is to further and encourage
forensic activities on the Auburn
campus.
There were seven participants in
the contest, representing the seven
professional clubs on the campus.
The subject of the speakers was, "My
Course as a Course and Profession."
The talks gave evidence that the
speakers had gone deep into the
benefits of their course as a course
and profession. Each speaker gave
insights into the possibilities which
his course offers and tried to show
that his course was the best one of­fered.
The other participants in the con­test
Monday night were: C. F. Sim­mons,
winner of second place repre­sented
the Agriculture Club; H.
Hayes, Vetinary Medicine Club; T.
N. Pyke, Electrical Engineering
Club; W. E. Rogers, Pharmaceutical
Club.

Mathematical Body
Plans For Meeting
The Southeastern section of the
Mathematical Association of America
will hold its ninth annual meeting at
Auburn Friday and Saturday, April
24 and 25. The program has been
announced by.Prof. C. D. Killebrew,
of the Auburn faculty, who is vice-president
of the Association. ^-
University, college, high school, and
other professors and teachers of math­ematics
are expected to attend the
meeting, he said. "It will be open
to anyone interested in the subject,"
he added. The Southeastern section
represents the States of Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina,
North Carolina and Tennessee.'
Dr. J. F. Messisk, head of the de­partment
of mathematics at Emory
University, Atlanta, is chairman of
the group and will preside. The visi­tors
will be welcomed to Auburn by
President Bradford Knapp.
Speakers at the meeting will be
Prof. Ward H. Taylor, Alabama Col­lege;
Prof. J. D. Kuderna, Auburn;
Prof. E. A. Bailey, LaGrange College;
Prof. F. L. Wren, George Peabody
College; Dr. W. H. Fagerstrom, Co­lumbia
University; Prof. R. D. Car-
(Continued on page 4)
The Tuesday evening programs of
the Evans and Websterian Societies
were devoted chiefly to the selection,
by eliminations, of students to rep­resent
the organizations in the an­nual
oratorical contest to be held
next week. This contest is sponsored
by Phi Delta Gamma, honorary for­ensic
fraternity, which has as its aim
the purpose of encouraging greater
interest in literary work on the cam­pus.
J. H. Brown has been chosen to
repsent the Evans, while the Web­sterian
has not made public its
choice.
Colonel McGehee spoke at the
meeting of the Evans, which was held
in room 210, at 7 p. m., last evening
on the subject of "Changes," and the
need of adapting oneself to them con­stantly.
The speaker continued saying
one should not try to fight changes
whether they be economic, political
or religious because they are very
closely related and symbolical of
progress.
Professor Butler supplemented,
briefly, Colonel McGehee's talk.
King's Cash Grocery
Has Larger Business
Since moving out on the Opelika
Road, King's Cash Grocery has shown
an increase in business of from 30
to 40 percent, stated John King, pro­prietor.
Expenses have also been
greatly reduced in the new location.
All orders of $1.50 or more re­ceived
this week will get free, one
bottle of Pen Money Pickles, given
as an expression of appreciation to
the many customers of this store.
The store is fully stocked, and in
the words of Mr. King, "Carries
everything from brass monkeys to
bales of hay". The business is es­tablished
on a firm basis, and is here
to stay.
The annual Interfraternity Coun­cil
Banquet will be held on April 20th
according to a decision made by the
council at the Monday night's meet­ing.
Each fraternity belonging to
the council, will receive four bids,
supposedly for the old and new rep­resentatives.
Carl Schlich, who was
appointed chairman of the committee
in charge of preparations, states that
this year's banquet will supercede all
others.
During the meeting a committee
under the chairmanship of John T.
Harris, was appointed to* make ar­rangements
for the coming Easter
egg hunt, which will be held on Sun­day,
April 5th. This is also an an­nual
affair held on each Easter Sun­day
afternoon for the Rats of the
council members. Prizes will be
awarded to the best dressed Fresh­man
and to the one who finds the
most eggs.
Plans for the Interfraternity Coun­cil
Ball were discussed and it was
decided that this year each fraterni­ty
would get only eight bids instead
of the ten formerly given. This was
done to cut down on the number of
people attending, since last year's
ball was too crowded.
The council also decided too con­duct
a tennis tournament between its
members again this xear, and a com­mittee
was appointed to attend to
this matter with Kelly Sullivan as
chairman. Heretofore these tourna­ments
have been very successful and
the trophy donated to the winner has
been keenly sought after.
Although there has been no official
announcement to the effect, the of­ficers
to lead the council during the
next year are usually selected the
night of the annual banquet.

Pro. Applebee's Health
Is Steadily Improving
The health of Prof. Frank W. Ap-plebee,
head of the applied art de­partment,
has continually improved
since he left Auburn at the first of
March for a month's leave of ab­sence.
He went to his home in Bos­ton
where he has been under the
care of a physician.
Dean Biggin states that Professor
Applebee will report back to Auburn
on the first of April to resume his
duties.
FRATERNITIES REQUESTED TO
SEND GO-TO-CHURCH REPORTS
The Y.M.C.A. requests that all the
fraternities turn in their final re­ports
on the Go-to-Church Month so
that an announcement of the winner
can be made by Saturday.
This contest ended Sunday, March
22, and according to an announce­ment
made by T. P. DeMonia, chair­man
of the religious committee, al­most
all of the fraternities on the
campus entered, and most of them
made excellent showings.
All the reports have not been
turned in as yet, but the following
six fraternities are in the lead: Alpha
Gamma Rho, Theta Upsilon Omega,
Alpha Psi, Kappa Sigma, Square &
Compass, and Phi Kappa Tau.
It is the object of the Y.M.C.A.
to announce the winner of this con­test
in Saturday's, paper, but to be
able to do this all the fraternities
concerned must cooperate.
The Auburn Kiwanis Club is mak­ing
a serious effort to give the local
boys, of high school age, the proper
kind of vocational guidance, accord­ing
to a statement made by Dr. Paul
Irvin, in his talk before the Kiwanis
Club Monday. This effort is being
carried on under the direction of the
vocational guidance committee of the
Kiwanis Club, which is composed of
three members: A. H. Collins, J. A.
Parrish and Dr. Paul Irvin.
The specific project which the Club
has had under way for several months
is concerned with helping those boys
who have made a somewhat definite
decision in regard to their life work.
The object of the committee is to
get each of these boys to tie up with
a member of the club, this member
to serve as the boy's sponsor, and to
help him in every way possible in con­tinuing
his preparation for his life's
work. This sponsor is to be choosen
because of his ability and knowledge
in the field which the boy has select­ed.
In this same connection Mr. J. A.
Parrish of the Auburn High School
reported that a course was being of­fered
the school in vocational guid­ance,
and was proving of value to
the students. This fact is to be
taken into consideration in the future
work of the vocational guidance com­mittee.
This committee also reported that
a large field for vocational guidance
was present among the college stu­dents
at Auburn, and at an early
date steps will be taken to increase
the service of the club in this direc­tion.

SENIOR CLASS' DECISION
The recent decision of the senior
class that the treasury of that class
should be set aside to be added to any
funds for the establishment of an in­firmary
here is without a doubt a wise
and an unselfish move.
One of the most badly needed com­modities
on the campus at the present
time is a hospital. Only several days
ago there were fears that an epidemic
of meningitis would envolep the cam­pus
in the same manner that the in­fluenza
struck Auburn several years
ago. What would have happened if
the meningitis epidemic had struck Au­burn?
There surely are not the neces­sary
accommodations for anyone with
a disease or other infirmity that com­mands
hospital attention.
But the main fact upon which the
class is to be congratulated is just the
plain fact that they decided not to fol­low
the footsteps of classes that have
graduated before. It means that the
seniors are willing to donate their
treasury to a cause that is needy and
necessary instead of just throwing the
money on some affair such as the an­nual
banquets.
There are students who will attack
the move in no unharsh terms. They
will accuse their fellow-class members
of turning the treasury over to a pro­ject
that will never be a reality. Some
have asked why several scholarships
were not established. There will be
seniors who want to know why the
banquet will not be given with the
treasury—these last are the men who
are willing to overlook anything for a
show, in the form of a banquet, that
will last only for a night.
The Plainsman congratulates the
members and officers of the Class of
1931 on really doing something worth­while.
It is the first time in the past
several years that a class has done any­thing
worth commendation. A class
is generally referred to as a group of
men who have been to college for the
same number of years, possessing of­fices,
and doing nothing. Classes at
Auburn have always fallen under this
definition. But the Class of '31 has at
last been different and done something
that falls outside of the usual nothing­ness
that typifies the activities of the
average class.
Although the treasury of the senior
class is only a very small portion of
the funds that are necessary for the
erection of a hospital, the unselfish
move of the class should be an indica­tion
to the college, townspeople, and
others interested in Auburn that the
students are willing to do their share
toward the project. It should serve as
an incentive for those who.are desirous
of building a hospital to use just a lit­tle
more effort.
NEW QUALIFICATIONS
The recent ruling of the Executive
Cabinet whereby only students who
have completed five semesters before
they shall be eligible for nomination
to the positions of editor-in-chief and
business manager of the publications
should pass before the student body
without further notice. The cabinet
has verified the interest shown in cam­pus
activities and affairs by making
such a ruling that will serve as a pro­tection
to the respective student publi­cations.
The first part of the amendment,
which states that a student must have
worked a year before he shall be elig­ible
for nomination, is a very good and
necessary move. A man can become
acquainted with the inner workings of
an organization of this type in a years'
time. How many times in the past has
a student who has worked only a short
length of time on a publication been
elected to one of either positions? Many
good student politicians have been elec­ted
to offices for which they were un­fitted.
And the result has always been
the detrimentation of the publication.
We can see no reason, however^ why
the second clause is included in the
amendment. Why should a student
who is well-equipped to hold an office
be kept from an office? When a man
has worked conscientiously on a staff
for a year or two there is no reason -
why he should be barred from being
nominated simply because he has not
completed five semesters. This part of
the amendment is unfair to a certain
degree.
But, taken as a whole, The Plains­man
sees • and commends the general
motive of the action. At the same time,
it would be a good idea for the Cabinet
members to look further into the mat­ter
and see whether or not the second
part of the amendment could not be
slightly changed.
Twelfth Night
A Synopsis
Act I
Sebastian and Viola, twins, are seperated
by shipwreck and each other believes the
other lost. Viola is cast ashore on the coast
of Illyria. She thereupon dons male attire
and obtains service as page with the Duke
"Orsino, who has been vainly suing for the
hand of Olivia, a native lady. The Duke
is pleased with the appearance of his new
page and sends Viola to pay court for him
to Olivia, which she does with so much
gracefulness and eloquence that the lady
becomes enarmoured of the supposed youth
instead of the master.
Act II
Olivia sends favors and messages to Viola
in which, naturally, the latter takes no in­terest.
Viola, in turn, has conceived a pas­sion
for the Duke, which she is compelled
to hide.
Olivia's steward, Malvolio, is so priggish
and conceited that others of her household
contrive a practical joke against him, send­ing
him an anonymous love-letter which
he is given to believe is from Olivia her­self.
Act III
Malvolio follows instructions contained in
the letter and behaves so ridiculously that
his mistress believes him demented.
Meanwhile Olivia's love for Viola be­comes
so intense that she sues openly to
the ficticious page, much to the latter's dis­tress.
Sir Andrew Aguecheek, a foolish
suitor of Olivia's, is displeased at the fav­ours
shown the page, and in a spirit of
bravado challenges Viola. Though both are
eager to avoid the conflict, it is only avert­ed
by the arrival of officers.
Aqt IV
Sebastian, Viola's brother, who was also
cast up by the sea, comes to Illyria. He
looks so much like' his sister—especially
since she is in men's garments—that Sir
Andrew mistakes him for the page and re­news
the fight. This time he does not en­counter
a woman's shrinking spirit or weak
arm, and he is soundly belaboured. Soon
after, Olivia also meets Sebastian, supposes
him to be Viola and reiterates her devo­tion.
The delighted Sebastian returns love
for love and they are secretly espoused be­fore
a priest.
Act V
Olivia encounters Viola in company with
the Duke and greets her by the title of
husband. The bewildered page disavows
the title, but the priest who performed the
ceremony vouches for it. The Duke is
much disgruntled that his favourite page
should so abuse his confidence. Viola is
meeting with general disfavour, when her
brother Sebastian arrives on the scene, and
the two who had thought each other dead
are reunited. Olivia discovers that she has
espoused the brother, after having wooed
the sister, while the Duke finds that his at­tachment
for his page becomes love when
Viola resumes her feminine attire.
The secret of Malvolio's dementia is re­vealed,
and he is released from the con­finement
in which he has been held.

Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
I wish the students
at this institution
would correct one of
the many false rumors
which have gone out
from Auburn. One of
the State papers pub­lished
a statement
that this institution
endeavored to prevent
the news from going out that there was a
case of spinal meningitis here at Auburn.
The students know that there never was
a case of spinal meningitis at Auburn and
they also know that the facts regarding
the unfortunate death of one of the stu­dents
after he had been home about eight
days were published in the March 11 issue
of the Plainsman. I think we are extreme­ly
fortunate in every way but I have been
very much discouraged because the persist­ent
rumor went out regarding this matter
in spite of the fact that we published the
exact facts and when anybody phoned us
we gave the facts. More than a week be­fore
the item appeared in one of the State
papers another State paper phoned me and
I -told them all the facts. Rest assured
that in any emergency of this character the
administration of this institution will do
everything in its power to protect the stu­dent
body.
* * * * *
The installation of Delta Sigma Pi, na­tional
professional business fraternity, at
this institution was a noteworthy occasion.
It is a clear recognition of this institution
as taking its place in a long list of worth­while
institutions engaged in training young
men for responsible positions in business.
We have come to the time when the engi­neering
graduate and the agricultural
graduate as well as the graduate in the
strictly" business courses must know eco­nomics
and business administration because
the administrative positions in industry and
in agriculture are multiplying every day.
Auburn's very successful and splendid ef­fort
in the publication of the Alabama Eco­nomic
Review which correlates the business,
industrial and agricultural conditions of
the Nation and of Alabama is being re­ceived
by the people of the State in a very
fine way and is but another index of the
regard for this line of work. I congratu­late
Delta Sigma Pi and the young men
who constitute its membership.

Honors Convocation which is scheduled
to occur on March 31, will not be worth­while
unless the students cooperate. Most
of the honor fraternities have elected those
students who measure up to the high stand­ards
set by these honor fraternities. Of
course the names have been published in
the papers but you have^had no chance as
a student body to recognize exactly who
these honor students are. If the honor is
worth anything then it is an honor and
the honor there is in it is in the recdgni-tion
of what has been accomplished. Let
me suggest very earnestly that we have a
full house and that the brief ceremony of
swearing in the Freshman members of the
student cabinet and presenting very briefr
ly these outstanding students in the various
divisions of the institution be accomplished
before as many of the student body as can
get into Langdon Hall.

LOVING YOU
You ask me why I love you dear,
Just why for you I care.
'Tis 'cause you never show a frown,
And how you fix your hair.
I love the way you tilt your chin,
And too, your pleasing smile.
And when compared to other girls,
You beat them all a mile.
I can't explain this turn of fate,
That made you care for me.
Just what you see in foolish man,
Is more than I can see.
You ask me why I love you dear,
And why 'tis only you,
That keeps me inspired every day.
I jes' love you 'cause I do.
THE GRADUATE
I'm a college man with a nice degree,
Well versed in business creed.
And the unread folk all envy me;
My high-toned college breed.
Yet the unread folk all have a niche,
Dug out with toil and strife.
As yet, I've found no place to pitch,
My tent in the field of life.
Only a people that are strong and calm
pan work usefully for peace.—Andre Tar-dieu.
Beautiful brunettes are more rare than

And a new fad has hit Auburn. It did not surprise us when we saw a student
riding around town on a mortorcycle; this is a thing that has been happening quite
often around here. But we were amazed when we saw a fellow taking a young

It must be a good plan, however, as JEAN FUNCHESS seemed to enjoy very

WHO'D A THO'T IT
A questionnaire circulated among college
leaders showed that college drinking was
far from eliminated. The poll by the Na­tional
Student Federation told that 57 be­lieved
the practice to he on the increase
while i6 believed it was decreasing.
Forty-seven thought the condition was
a static one. None thought it completely
eliminated, and 68 favored modification.
Advocates for repeal numbered 38, but 23
were for strict enforcement. Now we
thought college students had quit drink­ing.
Oh, well.

SHAME
A survey of an Eastern university re­veals
that 60 percent of the students sleep
through at least three hours of classes
each week. The fight professors to keep
the bedtime-story boys awake sometimes
makes education entertaining rather than
instructional.
That 60 percent sleeping through three
class hours each week doesn't phase us.
We have that large number sleeping through
three class hours per day. The reason for
sleeping such a small amount is due largely
to the extra loud bellowing of some of the
profs, bellowing being preferred to braying

The Southern Methodist University has

she might apply the dressing, both fabri-cal

awful, isn't -it? Probably the boys had
some "dead soldiers" that they wanted to
give an appropriate burial to though, and
where else could they get a tombstone—so
cheap?

OH MOVIES! WHY HAST THOU
STUNGETH
In an editorial appearing in the Cum­berland
Collegian we find out just what
these typical "college movies" are all about.
So therefrom cometh this:
"The last so-called 'collegiate movie'
which we saw served only to confirm our
previously-formed opinion that pretty bad
is getting worse fast.
"College movies Are not divisible into
varied types and classes; they are all alike.
They need not be analyzed for criticism;
they are already reduced to the lowest com­mon
denominator. There is no complexity
in their plot; it is as simple and incapable
of change as the proverbial western show,
in which the miserly step-uncle of the pret­ty
heroine holds a mortgage on her Daddy's
ranch and the handsome hero thunders upon
the scene on his dapple steed at the cli-matical
moment and saves the day.
"College movies are perhaps the most
misleading of the agents that picture col­lege
life as it is not and persuade public
opinion to the view that college is exclu­sively
a place of hilarious frolic, dances
and other activities of wild and gay youth,
dominated by romeos, and football heroes
and campus queens with 'it.'
"Only in one of the college movies that
we have seen was there shown a character
who exhibited the slightest tendency to­wards
truly collegiate practices, and he
was the comedian, described as B—B—,
who had a 'false idea that college was a
place to study.' The college movie never
leads the spectator to the classroom, to the
library, to the study halls, or to the labo­ratories.
It never allows its pseudo-col­legiate-
characters to show the slightest
inkling of those habits and ideals the aver­age
college man possesses and practices.
It never goes to the debating societies, the
literary societies, the science clubs. It nev­er
shows the constructive values of fra­ternities
and sororities. The hero is never
the sober-minded, studious, ambitious in­dividual
who shows prospects of develop­ing
into the successful graduate.
"The college movie not only gives a warp­ed
picture of college life to the public. It
develops false impressions on the part of
prep school students who expect to get a
college education. The college movie is
truly the worst enemy of the American in­stitutions
of higher learning."
Quite true my son. But who would go to
a "college movie" if it merely portrayed the
real side to college life? Yes, you are
right; the old maid aunt, sister Jones, and
Uncle Ned would be there, but not little
"Joe College."

perfect mathematical reason for a co-exist-ant

persisted, attempting to blast something

The silliest book I've read so far this
year is Java-Java by Byron Steel. Mr.
Steel is an extremely poor imitator of Jean
Cocteau, the enfant terrible of continental
literature, and evidently was consuming
something much stronger than Java while
writing this, his second book. One of the
characters, Eric, reminded me of some one
(I forget his name now but I think it was
Franz) in Cocteau's Le Grand Ecart. Both
are aviators; both use the same manner in
their treatment of women. The yarn Stee)

BURT'S GRADUATION
WILL LEAVE GAP IN
2 ATHLETIC SQUADS
By Elmer G. Salter
When Joe Burt receives a diploma
from the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
in May, he will leave a large
gap in both the football and baseball
teams that will be hard to fill next
year. He played guard on the grid­iron
eleven under Coach Chet Wynne
during the 1930 season and is lo­cated
in right field on Sam McAllist­er's
diamond nine.
Before entering Auburn in the
Fall of 1927, Burt carved a niche in
„the athletic hall of fame at Shades-
Cahaba High School, Birmingham.
He was a three-sport star there, play­ing
on the football, basketball and
baseball teams. He was prominent­ly
mentioned for all-state honors in
football.
He continued his high school ath­letic
successes at Auburn his plebe
year as he played guard on the foot­ball
and cage teams and outfield on
the baseball club. •
The hardwood failed to lure him
after his freshman year, but he was
a luminary on the other two teams.
As a guard in football,, he was one
of the best to wear Plainsmen colors
in several years and as an outfield­er
in baseball, he is one of the best
in Dixie college circles.
Regardless of the system used on
the gridiron, Burt has been a valued
.cog on the machine. The Notre Dame
style of play was introduced at the
Plains last season by Wynne which
calls for two fast guards. The play­ers
in these position have to pull out
of the line and form interference for
the ball carriers on several plays.

FORT BENNING WILL PLAY AUBURN
THIS AFTERNOON ON DRAKE FIELD
By Elmer G. Salter
The Auburn-Fort Benning baseball
game, which was rained out last Sat­urday,
will be played here on Drake
Field, this afternoon, starting at four
o'clock. This will be the opening
game on the Tigers 1931. schedule.
The two teams will meet in a return
battle at Fort Benning, April 1.
Coach Sam McAllister realizes the
strength of the Musketeers and is
giving the Plainsman extra work. The
postponing of the game meant only
additional work for Capt. Frock Pate
and the rest of the heavy stick wield-ers.
McAllister increased the length of
the drills when he glanced at the 1930
record book and found that the
Tigers were barely able to win the
first engagement with the Musketeers
at Auburn, 5 to 4. Joe Burt's long
distance clouting gave the Bengals
the edge when he hit a homer in the
last of the ninth and another one
earlier in the afternoon.. Auburn
won the final meeting, 9 to 3.
Ray Prim and Buck Carter, two
of last season's mainstays on the
mound, who now belong to the St.
Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia
Burt was one of the mainstays at left
guard in 1930, however.
While his work as a gridder has
stood out, his long distance clouting
and allraround fancy fielding on the
diamond has won for him many
praises from the leading sports writ­ers
in the South and has caused sev­eral
big league scouts to camp on his
trail.
He literally murdered all kinds of
pitching his first year in college. Be­sides
thrilling the fans on more than
one occasion with seemingly impos­sible
shoe-string catches, he wound
up the season with a remarkable bat­ting
average of .412.
Making hard catches seem easy
continued to be a habit of his his
sophomore year. His batting aver­age
dropped a few points his first
season of varsity competition as he
was able to bat only .382 but who

Athletics, and Jack Pilgrim, sopho
more, are the main losses from the
pitching staff and McAllister is hav­ing
a hard time developing depend­able
twirlers to take their places,
especially since- Prim and Carter
were ranked with the best in the
South.
Clifford Smith heads the hurling
corps, and is the only player on the
squad who has had much experience
on the hillock. He has been showing
up well this Spring. He probably will
see plenty of service as a pinch hit­ter
as he is one of 4he best hitters on
the team.
Dunham Harkins is a veteran of
three years service, but has been
used largely in a relief role. He has
changed his delivery and is working
hard to develop a" good curve ball.
He will need a varied assortment if
he comes through in good style when
he receives the nomination to start
"chunking" them over in the early
frames.
Because he will need Jimmie Hitch­cock's
hitting power, McAllister has
shifted him to centerfield and will
start him at this berth against Fort
Benning. Hitchcock is one of the
sweetest looking shortstops in the
South, but McAllister has decided to
let Capt. Pate cavort around the
shortstop territory. It was a case of
having to find places on the team
for two heavy-hitting shortstops and
McAllister decided to keep Pate at
his old post because of his experi­ence.
Duck Riley, former Ensley per­former,
has been performing brilli­antly
at the keystone and is expected
to have another good year. He and
Capt. Pate are expected to complete
many twin-killings. Riley handled
over a hundred chances in 1930 with­out
committing an error, and is out
to break this record.
McAllister is undecided on his
starting pitcher against Benning. "I
might start Smith or I might decide
to open with Sam Grubbs or Clarence
West," said the jovial mentor. Grubbs
is a promising sophomore and West
a junior, who is making a determ­ined
bid for recognition after being
a reserve team.
The infielders and outfielders who
will start Wednesday in the curtain
raiser will probably be Kaley, catch­er;
Lloyd, first base; Riley, second
base; Pate, shortstop; Lewis, third
base; Hodges, left field; Hitchcock,
center field, and Burt, right field.

was himself an architect, as was his
father.
wouldn't like to finish a season with
an average that high?
Because of his sensational playing,
his mates elected him alternate-cap­tain
of the 1930 team. He reward­ed
them by ending the year in a tie
for the batting championship with
Big Ben Newton with an average of
.349. They again elected him to the
same position on this year's team.
Although he posseses a high mark
of .381 for three years of college
competition, this average will prob­ably
be increased this year.
This average was compiled against
some of the leading amateur and pro­fessional
teams below the Mason-
Dixon line, but his first chance to
perform against a major league club
will be at Auburn, Monday, March
30, when the Philadelphia Phillies
play the Tigers in the feature attrac­tion
on Auburn's 1931 "A" Day pro­gram.

'A' DAY PROGRAM WILL FEATURE
ARRAY OF LEADING PRO HITTERS
Several of the leading hitters in
professional baseball will appear here
with the Philadelphia Phillies when
they meet the Auburn Tigers on
Drake Field in the feature attraction
on Auburn's 1931 "A" Day program,
Monday, March 30. Although his
hurling staff is weak, Burt Shotton
has corralled a team of hitters that
can hold their own against the best
in the major leagues.
Shotton dispensed with Lefty
O'Doul and Fresco Thompson during
the Winter trading sessions, but ac­quired
the services of Clise Dudley
and Jumbo Elliott, two fair pitchers,
and Hal Lee, the-leading slugger on
the team at present. The acquisition
of this trio is expected to strengthen
the club.
Lee's rise in professional baseball
has been phenomenal. He jumped
from the campus of Mississippi Col­lege
to Brooklyn, who farmed him
out to Macon and Atlanta for two
seasons. He was carried by the Rob­ins
as utility outfielder in 1930. Since
receiving a chance to play regularly,
he has been hitting at a fast clip
to discourage the other candidates
for left field. He has been the sen­sation
of the Phillies training camp
at Winter Haven, Fla.
Lee served as assistant coach at
Auburn under Coach Geo. Bohler. He
was liked by the students and towns­people
here who will welcome his re­turn
to the Plains when Philadelphia
plays the Tigers March 30.
Manager Shotton has not signed his
leading hitter last year, Chuck Klein,

COLUMBIA BOYS ARE GOOD
PAYERS, SAY MERCHANTS
That Oxford University students
owe more than $1,000,000 to trades­men
of the old English university
town is incredible to Columbia stu­dents.
In the first place, they don't be­lieve
there's a million dollars. In the
second place, they can't conceive of<
campus tradesmen who could possib­ly
extend a million dollar's worth of
credit. In the third place, Columbia
students wouldn't know what'to do
with a million dollars worth of ba­nana
splits, shirts, chocolate layer
cake and half hose.
A. M. Burns and Martin Wexler,
who have been selling clothes to Co­lumbia
students for ten years, say
not one out of a thousand fails to
pay his bill.s Burns and Wexler ex­tend
"accommodations" and cash
checks without fear or favor for men
actually enrolled at the University.
Any and all students are able to
obtain from $40 to $50 credit for
books at the Columbia University
Book Shop. Checks cashed for stu­dents
total $1,000 to $1,500 a day
at this shop. Most of these are on
out-of-town banks, which would give
rubber-check men ample time to
leave town before the checks bounced
back.

Ahearn. "Students are appreciative.

Mr. Bedingfleld stated that no bet­ter
remedy for the present economic
ills can be found than the prescrip­tion
given by Henry W. Grady which
reads, in part, as follows: "When
every farmer in the South shall eat
bread from his own fields and meat
from his own pastures, and, disturbed
by no creditor and enslaved by no
debt, shall sit amid his teeming gar­dens,
and orchards, and vineyards,
and dairies, and barnyards, pitching
his crops in his own -wisdom, and
growing it in his own time, and in
his chosen market, and not at a
master's bidding—getting his pay in
cash and not in a receipted mortgage
that discharges his debt, but does not
restore his freedom—then shall be
breaking the fullness of our day."

MAN IS THE ONLY
PERFECT ANIMAL
SAYS SCIENTIST
am-phy-he
. pro­of
Uni-rush
By Charles W. Lawrence
Editor, Intercollegiate Press.
Cleveland, Ohio —(IP)— Man
the only perfect beast.
The reason: Man is the only
mal whose growth, mentally and
sically, is retarded sufficiently by
ture to allow him to learn before
settles down to live by habit.
Thus did Dr. T. Wingate Todd,
fessor of anatomy at the School
Medicine at Western Reserve
versity and director of the Br
Foundation, explain to an audience
here the tentative conclusions reach­ed
so far in the Brush Foundation's
inquiry into the natural history of
man.
Furthermore, Dr. Todd asserted,
those conducting the inquiry have
found a new word to apply tovthe'
forces which control man's destiny
from birth to the grave. It is neith­er
heredity nor invironment but both
expressed in the word "heritage."
Important in Dr. Todd's inquiry is
a clever little chimpanzee named
Claudius, whose picture was on one
of the lantern slides thrown on the
screen.
With the aid of these slides the
director explained to his audience
why the anthropoid ape, whose brain
at birth suggests greater maturity
than that of the child at birth, can­not
go on learning unil it becomes,
in time, as intelligent as its human
relative.
In simple language it is because the
ape stops growing, or reaches adult­hood,
at the age of 6 or 7, while
man is forced to await the age of
19 or 20 before he becomes full
grown. While the ape, therefore,
changes from child to adult within
about two years, it takes man about
16 years to make the change.
Since it is in this period between
childhood and adulthood that the ani­mal
gains his greatest experience,
Dr. Todd indicated man's long re­tardation
in growth is a favorable
factor and provides him witjh an
overwhelming advantage over the
other animals.
Dr. Todd did not state as final his,
conclusion that an ape, ending the
stage of childhood, cannot keep on
learning.
Claudius, the chipanzee, he said,
now has the mind of a child about 1
year old. He'showed a picture of
Claudius using a stick to draw an
object nearer his cage. That much
Claudius has learned, as well as to
imitate a windowcleaner. While the
window cleaner washes the upper
pane, Claudius wasehs the lower pane
and would make a good job of it, Dr.
Todd said, if he didn't spoil it all by
blowing his breath all over the pane
when he gets through.
"What we want to know," said the
director, is whether or not Claudius
will keep right on learning as long as
he lives. It is possible that he will.
We are waiting to find out. But I
think it is safe to predict he will not,
for he is just about to reach adult­hood,
and the moment he reaches that
stage I am quite certain his period
of experience will have become
fixed."
At 2, Dr. Todd said, the brain of
the human child has become more
complex than that of the adult chim­panzee.
While the ape's brain at
birth is larger than the child's, adult
man's brain is three times as large as
the ape's.

clinic of this kind in Alabama is lo­cated
at Montevallo. The "Story

of education, will be held next Wed­nesday

EXPERIMENT COLLEGE OF
WISCONSIN U. CRITICIZED
Tb,e Brush Foundation's inquiry
thus far has produced other interest­ing
results, Dr. Todd said.
Of 100 girls studied, he said, 30
were found to be beyond their years
in physical and mental growth, while
of 100 boys studied only nine were
thus beyond their years.
In the human being that part of
the brain believed to control the
learning and use of words develops
most rapidly between the ages of 2
and 4. That is the time, Dr. Todd
suggested, when children should learn
foreign languages.
That part of the brain which has
to do with directing the human be­ing's
attention to new objects devel­ops
most rapidly between the ages of
4 and 7. That part of the brain
which records experiences sees its
greatest development between the
ages of 7 and 20.
It is during this third period, he
said, that man must receive his train­ing,
and without that period, which
is denied other animals, mankind
would never have become man as
we know him. It was implied by the
director that the parent has a great
deal to do with riiaking or breaking
the offspring during this period. <

COLLEGE
BARBER SHOP
Madison, Wis. —(IP)— As plans
were being made here to investigate
the results thus far of the Experi­mental
College at the University of
Wisconsin with a view either to
abandonment or extension of the ex­periment,
The Nation, New York
weekly, on March 25 published an
article of criticism of the college by
Eliseo Vivas, of the University of
Wisconsin, along with a rejoinder by
Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, who be­gan
the experiment in the fall of
1927.
The import, briefly, of Vivas' arti­cle
is that the Expeirmental College
thus far as proved capable of giving
only a more or less superficial edu­cation
to its students. Dr. Meikle­john
replies that no, when the uni­versity
is attempting to find out what
has been done thus far, is no time
for criticism of the college by a pro­fessor
who is not entirely familiar
with its workings or results.
Described briefly, the plan of the
Experimental College is as follows
(keeping in mind that it is experi­mental
and subject to whatever
changes the administration believes
advisable):
It is a two-year course, to which
only students of the right type are
admitted, taking up the first two
years of college. The course of study
is based on two great civilizations—
that of the Greeks, and that of the
modern United States. All other
study hinges about this.
Vivas contends in his article in The
Nation, that it has been demonstrat­ed
that the students in the college
are inclined to lack experience in
that sort of study which demands dis­cipline',
that the teachers, because
they are rather young, are not spe­cialists
in their superficial means of
obtaining an education.
Dr. Meiklejohn replies, that while
he is not entering into a debate as to
the merits of the criticism, the stu­dent
discussions are only a part of
the course of study, that frequent re­ports
are required on outside read­ing.
The experiment has aroused wide­spread
interest in world educational
cirqles, and on its success is believed
to depend largely the future trend in
American education.

believed capable of rising ten miles
