At Langdon Hall
DR. KNAPP SPEAKS
Threatening Weather Doesn't
Dampen Spirits Of Fren­zied
Students
Feeling was at high pitch at a
mass meeting held Thursday night in
Langdon Hall, during which Dr.
Knapp addressed the student body,
because prospects of winning a con­ference
game are better than they
have been in the past three years.
After a large crowd had gathered in
front of the auditorium, the student
body paraded through the streets, be­ing
led by the band, letting everyone
within earshot know that "the great
day is coming and its not far away."
Following the parade, the students
gathered in the auditorium for cheers
and Dr. Knapp's talk. In his talk
Prexy said that in last Saturday's
game, he had seen the Tigers, for the
first time, fight until the final whistle
blew. Further, he stated that unless
something very unexpected happened
between then and "time for the game
with Mississippi A. & M. on Saturday
we would have a Southern Confer
ence victory to talk about in His­tory
class. Since last Saturday's
game in the Crescent City the band
learned a new victory song, namely,
"Tiger Rag." In spite of the threat­ening
weather, a large crowd turned
out to cheer the team on to the pend­ing
combat. Every attempt was made
to shatter the windows in Langdon
Hall with the deafening roar but to
no avail. -
Ag Men Will Attend
Meet In Washington
Director M. J. Funchess, Dr. J. W.
Tidmore, and Dr. L. D. Baver of the
Experiment Station will attend the
meetings of the American Soil Sur­vey
Association and the American So­ciety
of Agronomy, Washington, D.
C, November 18-21.
Dr. Baver will appear on the pro­gram
of the Soil Survey Association
where he will present two papers on
research work done in Alabama.
Dean Funchess is immediate past
president of the Society of Agronomy.
Soil scientists and agronomists
from all parts of the United States
and Canada will attend the meeting.
Problems of soil improvement, crop
rotation, fertilizing, and other prac­tical
and technical problems dealing
with agricultural land will be dis­cussed
at the agronomy meeting. At
the Survey Association meeting prog­ress
in soil surveys and methods of
mapping and classifying soil will be
reviewed.
National Book Week to
Be Observed Nov. 16-22
Observance of National Book
Week, November 16th to 22nd, is be­ing
urged by several members of
the faculty. Plans for the obser­vance
of the week are set forth in a
booklet published by the National
Association of Book Publishers. This
booklet suggests, "For the 1930
Week, four central themes are sug­gested
as the basis for special ex­hibits,
programs and articles." The
four themes are "International
Friendship", "Books for Young
Americans" "Background Books",
and "The Modern World". The ob­servance
of this week is rapidly ad­vancing,
according to statistics pub­lished
by the Association of Book
Publishers. These statistics show
that Georgia and Florida were among
the leading states of the nation put­ting
through book-week programs
last year.
Commendation for Promotion
Of County Libraries Is Given
Professor Charles W* Edwards
^?^fe^^
PROF. C. W. EDWARDS
In a recent issue of the magazine
section of the Birmingham News there
appeared an article explaining the ob­ject
of the Alabama Library Cam­paign,
which has as its head Mr.
Charles W. Edwards, associate regis­trar.
The article is an exposition of many
startling facts concerning library
needs in Alabama; some of which are:
"That in all Alabama's public lib­raries
there is only one book for
every nine people.
"That 72 per cent of the popula­tion—
nearly 2,000,000 Alabamians—
are beyond the reach of public lib­rary
service."
"That two-thirds of all expendi­tures
for public libraries in Alabama
are made for people in Jefferson
County."
"That 50 counties have no public
libraries within their borders."
"That the 16 remaining counties
spend only $80,000 annually for book
service for their people."
"That Alabama is the only South­ern
State without a central agency to
encourage improvement of library fa­cilities."
"That Alabama spends annually on­ly
5 cents per capita for public li­braries,
compared to $1.08 for Cali­fornia
and $.71 for New Jersey, per
capita, per year.
With these facts in mind the Ala­bama
Library Association and friends
of the movement are directing their
efforts toward four major objectives,
namely:
"A public opinion convinced of the
value of public libraries and high
standards of library service.
Effective libraries in every city
reaching their whole service areas;
and •
"An independent state library com­mission
to lead in library develop­ment,
to give supplementary book ser­vice
to all public libraries, and to
give direct book service until public
library service is developed.
Mr. Edwards has been interested in
the library development for several
years. He was last year appointed to
the chairmanship of the people's li­brary
campaign of Alabama.
Mid-Semester Grades
To Be Reported Soon
Mid-semetser grades of all the stu­dents
will be reported to the office
of the registrar not later than Sat­urday,
November 22, it was announ­ced
yesterday by Dr. C. W. Edwards,
associate registrar. Immediately af­ter
all grades haves been reported,
they will be mailed to both parents
and students. The purpose of these
grades is to serve as a check-up on
the general work of the students and
to furnish an incentive for more ef­ficient
work. The grades will not
count toward quality points, how­ever.

TWO MEMBERS
GAIN PLACES
DEBATE TEAM
Others Urged to Try Out For
Places; InterCollege Sched­ule
Being Completed
Two new members have been add­ed
to the Auburn varsity debating
team during the past week, it was an­nounced
today by Professor L. S. Jud-son,
head of the Speech Department.
These two members, Miriam Toulmin
and G. H. Conner, have brought the
team up to approximately the regu­lar
college size, but Professor Judson
stated that there was still time for
those interested to make the team if
they would act at once.
There are very few girls on the
team at the present, and Professor
Judson is very desirous that more try
out in the near future. A number of
girls teams are being corresponded
with in regard to a schedule, and Pro­fessor
Judson stated that a number
would be engaged if enough girls be-become
interested.
An invitation is extended by Pro­fessor
Judson to members of the Edu­cation
Club interested in inter-colle­giate
debating to practice with the
varsity.
FORMER STUDENT
DIES IN MOBILE
Cletus Meyer, Class of 1930, Dies In
Gulf City Wednesday Night
Cletus Earnest Meyer, graduate in
electrical engineering with the class
of 1930, died in Mobile late Wednes­day
evening. Meyer, who had work­ed
with the Westinghouse Corpora­tion
since late summer, had been ill
in Mobile for the past two months,
and his death was a. blow to his
friends in Mobile and Auburn, al­though
it was not unexpected.
Meyer came to Auburn four years
ago, after attending Spring Hill Col­lege
in Mobile for one year. He was
a member of the Auburn Band four
years, serving in the capacity of
business manager during his senior
year.
He was a member of Eta Kappa
Nu, honorary electrical engineering
fraternity, and Kappa Psi, honorary
band fraternity.
Meyer graduated from Barton
Academy in 1925.
Another Championship Team

As Harriers Go Undefeated
W//.8C/& H. HUTSELL TQACH COACH, A\U6UR*I
Another championship team has
been turned out by Wilbur H. Hut-sell,
track coach and trainer.
Auburn's 1930 cross-country team
has just completed a banner year,
finishing with a record of two wins
in as many tries. The Plainsmen
harriers, led by Clarence Roberts,
Wylam youth, won rather handily
from Georgia Tech and Georgia, de­feating
the Yellow Jacket distance
runners, 15 to 50, and the Bulldogs,
21 to 34. The meet with the Engi­neers
was staged here, while the Red
and Black team was met in Athens
last Saturday.
In winning from the Athenians,
the Plainsmen handed a defeat to
the team who had just conquered the
University of Florida. Barnhart,
Georgia star, was first, but wearers
of the Orange and Blue were not
so very far behind. Roberts finish-

Plans for a bigger, better, and more
enjoyable faculty dance are now be­ing
made by the executive committee
of the Faculty Dance Club, under the
direction of Professor Charles W. Ed­wards,
president.
The main floor of the Opelika Coun­try
Club house is the place and the
time is Saturday night, November 22.
The change in place was made in or­der
to add variety and attractiveness
to the occasion. Members of the com­mittee
decided that the gymnasium

Pitts, seventh; Huff, eleventh, and
Caley, twelfth. Pitts is the only
senior on the team.
This year's team was the best that
has represented Auburn over hills
and dales since 1926, and the 1931
team is expected to be much better
since Pitts is the only runner lost
via the sheepskin route.
Athletic awards have not been
made for cross-country yet, but the
following will probably receive the
minor insignia: Clarence Roberts,
Wylam; Joe Plant, Birmingham; Wil­liam

Dr. Knapp Urges Better Cotton
In Address To Fertilizer Assn.
If farmers of the South are to meet
increasing competition from Russia,
India, and South America, they must
grow cotton of better staple and bejt-ter
quality, said Dr. Bradford Knapp,
speaking at the sixth southern con­ference
of the National Fertilizer As­sociation
in Atlanta. "The South
must pit its brains and ingenuity
against these other countries which
are challenging its prestige in cotton
production and produce the cotton
which the world wants," he said.
A system of agriculture "founded
very largely upon the production of
cotton" was strongly condemmed by
Dr. Knapp. "Under the one crop sys­tem
money to produce the crop is ad­vanced
before the crop is made and
thus the aim of groing cotton is to
pay debts," he said. "Such a system
leads itself inevitably to the financ­ing
of the production of a commodity
rather than to the financing of a
human being.
"Is any system safe which puts a
whole section of the country in dis­tress
about every seven years and
sometimes oftener?" he continued. "An
all-cotton system of agriculture was
our undoing in 1914, and again in
1920, again in 1927 and in 1930."
Dr. Knapp saw an opportunity for
southern farmers in the recent an­nouncement
of Dr. Charles Herty,
famed chemist and member of the Au­burn
faculty, that white print paper
can be made from slashed pine. The
speaker said that the South can grow

To Keep Plainsmen's
Hands Full
By Adrian Taylor
For the first time in four years,
years of heart aches, disappointment,
and lost prestige, the Auburn Tigers
enter a conference game the favo­rites
to win. In the past, the Au­burn
team has entered games with
nothing but that indominantable Au­burn
spirit with which to carry on.
They have worked and fought against
overwhelming odds, but now the goal
of victory lies ahead and the Tiger of
the Plains is ready for the kill.
The Auburn team will meet Missis­sippi
A. & M. on Legion Field, Birm­ingham.
This is Auburn's initial ap­pearance
of the year in the Magic
City. The team will be accompanied
by many loyal students, and Au­burn's
famous band.
In spite of inclement weather,
Coach Wynne has worked his charges
very thoroughly in preparation for
the tilt, and, with the exception of a
few minor injuries, the Tigers are in

Eugene Grey Hurt In
Automobile Accident
Eugene Gray was the victim of an
unavoidable accident Wednesday noon
when he was knocked down by an au­tomobile
at the intersection of Col­lege
and Magnolia Streets. He had
just passed the middle of the street
when he was struck. The car, moving
west on Magnolia Street, swerved to
avoid hitting a car that was stopped
at the intersection. In doing so it
struck Gray, knocking him to the
pavement. The car then continued
until it struck another automobile in
College Street. Students, standing on
Toomer's corner, rushed out, and,
picking Gray up, carried him up into
a doctors office above the drug store.
After a hasty examination, he was
taken to the hospital in Opelika, where
his condition was pronounced not se­rious.
He suffered painful cuts and
bruises about the face and head, but
will be well enough to return to Au­burn
today.
Gray, a Mobile boy, is a senior in
the school of architectural engineer­ing.
He is president of the Execu­tive
Cabinet and the Y. M. C. A., and
is very prominent in campus activi­ties,
being a member of many social
and honorary groups.
Sigma Phi Epsilon

Entertaining pledges from vari­ous

Quartets, solos, the serving of hot
chocolate, cigarettes, cigars, and an
interesting program added to the en­joyment
of the occasion. The later

OPELIKA-AUBURN AIRPORT
The knowledge that Auburn and Opelika
have a number of far-sighted citizens is
gained when one looks at the list of those
who have subscribed for stock in the joint
airport for these two towns.
These men have realized that aviation
is still in its infancy, and that the time
will come when an airport will be a neces­sity.
The citizens who have enrolled in the
cause for the promotion of the airport are
to be applauded, and The Plainsman com­mends
them for their actions to put Au­burn
and Opelika on the aviation map.
STUDENT WEAKNESSES
The announcement that the Y. M. C. A.
in Birmingham will honor membership cards
of Auburn students this year is a wolcome
bit of news to students here. It means that
the officials of the Birmingham organiza­tion
have confidence enough in Auburn men
to grant them privileges accorded regular
members . It means, too, that the Magic
City people do not want reoccurrences of
the nature that caused the Y. M. C. A. there
to refuse to grant any privileges to any
college students.
It sems that the student body has an im­bedded
spirit of vandalism which must be
given vent by the destruction and thievery
of public and private property.
Auburn men pride themselves in the steal­ing
of blankets, towels, and other valua­bles
when they are out of town. Such
brazen actions are not "collegiate," but rep­resent
a laxity of scruples and adherence
to the principles of common honesty. How­ever
lightly one is inclined to consider these
so-called pranks of college boys, the ugly
truth stands out that honor is involved.
It is uncommon to hear students brag­ging
about their collections of "souvenirs"
from football and other wek-end trips. On­ly
recently two freshmen were heard to
"pat themselves on the back" for getting
away with over a dozen towels from a ho­tel.
The time for such actions is long past,
and it now remains for Auburn men to
conduct themselves in a manner more be­fitting
the widely-heralded American col­lege
man.
VANDALS
From the Stormy Petrel of Oglethorpe
University comes the following editorial
condemning students there for actions in
the destruction of college property:
Each year there come up from the
tall pines to Oglethorpe a group of
young students who, unversed in the
ways of the city and civilization, are
extremely disregardful of property
rights and the accepted manner of do­ing
things in a cultured community.
Complaints have reached this office
from occupants of the third floor of
faowry in regard to the indiscriminate
destruction of university property in
• the rooms and marring of the wood­work
of the halls and doors.
Oglethorpe University has been se­lected
by its students as their home
for a span of four years. We should
behave on the campus as we would
were we in the midst of the family
circle. Of course, allowances must
be made for the exuberance of a
group of boys gathered together but
even this carefree spirit does not war­rant
the existence»of a spirit of de­struction
and havoc. Oglethorpe Uni­versity
has perhaps the finest dormito­ries
of any institution in the South.
They go to make up the silent facul­ty.
The poor boy who has had no
change to enjoy beautiful surround­ings
and the rich lad to whom luxury
and beauty are commonplace, all are
benefitted by the environment at
Oglethorpe. For a student to knock
panels out of the solid oaken doors
of the various rooms, or even to scrib­ble
his or her name on the clean
plastering of the college is a heinous
crime. This subject should not have
to be mentioned to a group of well-bred
individuals.
It is hoped that the students of Auburn
will heed this editorial and be" mindful
that there are several new buildings on
this campus, and destruction or marking
of the buildings will only cause deteriation
of the use and value of these buildings.
Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
"Off hand this may assume the air and,
interest of a high school matter; as Lit­erary
society work by the average student
here at Auburn is something to be looked
upon as a second high school age work,
taken part in by only those who have some­thing
else to do.
"As long as quality points were given for
attendance to literary society meetings, the
attendance to such meetings barely war­ranted
the existence of said organizations;
interest was gradually dying<out, fewer stu­dents
were attending, poorer programs were
rendered. But with the taking away of
quality points for literary society atten­dance,
the attendance has dropped to the
zero mark. Two weeks ago last Tuesday
night, about four people representing four
literary societies went to their respective
meeting rooms to find no one there; last
Tuesday night two literary societies did
not make an attempt to hold meetings what­soever,
and the two other literary socie­ties
adjourned "shortly after seven o'clock
because of the scanty numbers that came.
As a result, the oldest organizations on this
campus, the literary societies, are not dy­ing
out, but are dead.
Years ago, before the birth of frater­nities
on this campus, the two literary so­cieties,"
namely the Wirt and the Webster-ian
Literary Societies, held the limelight
as the leading social organizations on the
campus. Not only literary work was done,
but great socials and competitive meets
were sponsored. Practically every student
enrolled in college belong to one or the oth­er
of these two societies. Prospects were
rushed in somewhat the manner that so­cial
fraternities rush their prospects today.
It was an honor to belong to one of the
two literary societies, and almost a dis­honor
not to belong to one or the other.
But with the dawn of fraternities, on Au­burn's
campus with their social possibili­ties,
less need for literary societies as so­cial
organizations was realized. The lit­erary
society organizations gradually- came
to mean nothing more than what they
now; an organization which meets and ac­complishes
a direct need by furnishing a
place where one can go to obtain an hour's
training in the art of speaking, can receive
up-to-date information on outside matters
of vital interest, and make such social con­tacts
and receive such other training as
such an organization can offer.
"The literary society does not offer com­petition
to any society, organization, or class
on this campus. There is no other organi­zation
or class what-so-ever that can offer
the same purpose that literary society has
to offer. It is merely an asset to the ex­tra-
curricula inclined student who is inter­ested
in current events, debate, declama­tion
and other forms of public speaking,
as well as direct training to think while on
one's feet. We have a course in public
speaking, but it is tqjhe student who can­not
elect public speaking as an extra course,
because of their already over-burdened reg­ular
courses in terms of credit hours, that
the literary society training is of most
value. Where else can such students gain
public speaking training? Many are not
qualified to be on our mythical debating
team; where else can they secure training
in debate other than in the literary socie­ty
programs? Literary societies offer the
only inter-mural meets in speech. Where
else can a student go, who hasn't the time
to read very extensively, to secure current
matters of interest in condensed form, ex­cept
to the literary society meetings? A
course in public speaking is highly de­sirable
and useful to any and every stu­dent;
but, with the proper spirit, and en­deavor
one can become just as capable a
public speaker through real honest-to-good-ness
effort in a litearry society as in the
public speaking classes. There is no ob­jection
to that point, as it is absolutely
sound.

the help that literary society work give

It does the poor columnist's soul good to
know that at least one person has read his
efforts with something of interest. The
iconclastic griper cusses and discusses till
he is blue in the face, and the sad part is
that it all does no good. I was. informed
last night that at least* one seed was not
sown on barren ground. Which reminds
me that I have two blank pages and no
ideas. Why write a column anyway ?^ Ev­erybody
will be out of town Saturday, and
if anyone was here, he wouldn't read my idle
ramblings.

The real purpose of the average colum­nist:
"To raise as much sand as possible in
the least time and most words; to be out
of town when he has just written some­thing
very radical; to satirize woman, the
coed species especially; and lastly, the real
purpose, to fill in a column of space on the
editorial page."

I still think something ought to be done
about the introduction of Latin and Greek
to our curricula. If it takes one paragraph
out of each of the sixty-four issues of The
Plainsman to get something definite done,
I shall bore the lone reader of this column
(myself) by such a paragraph on this sub­ject
each issue. I can not believe that I
am alone in wanting the establishment of
these courses; there are too many students
of English and Pre-law. Of course, if
there is no demand for these subjects, I
can work out my own salvation some way^

The Gazook
I'm the Gazook who always borrows my
room-mate's ties. I know that he will not
say anything to me about this, because he
is afraid he will hurt my feelings. I know
I should buy some new ties, but if I spend
my surplus money for ties I will not have
very much money to go tg the show on.
- I think some of my very intimate ac­quaintances
don't think I am so hot for
this reason. I drain anyone that I can. I
didn't come to college to spend money in
the first place. The state is supposed to
educate me and I'm going to get as much
out of everybody as I can. I intend to beat
my board bill when I leave.
My friends have left and owed many
dollars; why can't I?
There isn't much to me, or I would re­spect
other people's right, but I am a worth­less

"The administration has expressed its
approval of literary society work and en­couraged
students to take an active inter­est
in the same, but that is as far as the
administration can go. It is the few stu­dents
who really desire to see the literary
society work continue that this task of re­organization
is confronting. It is the opin­ion
of some that there are enough students
who would be interested in attending a
literary society that was placed on a sound
working basis, with competitent officers,
and instructive, interesting and construc­tive
programs, to warrant a reorganization
of literary society work on this campus.
For that few who are interested in literary
society work, a special meeting has been
called for next Tuesday night at 7 o'clock
in room 301 of the Main Building, for the
discussion of what is to be done about the
said organizations. This meting will de­termine
the fate of literary societies on
this campus; whether there is to be one or
more or none such societies on the campus.
Therefore, all that are interested, either
students or members of the faculty, are
urged to be present at this get-to-gether
meeting next Tuesday night.
Very truly yours,
A Senior.

CO-ED DEFENDS CO-EDUCATION
The following is a portion of an article
written for the Gold and Black, Birming­ham-
Southern College student publication,
by one of the co-eds there:
"At Williamsburg, Virginia, stands Wil­liam
and Mary College. This is the oldest
co-educational college in the world. Girl'
schools have a place, but for the average
girl co-education is natural and far more
beneficial than the cloistered halls of a
'Female Seminary'.
"Preeminent, to most of us, among the
activities which only men can bring to a
school, is football.
"The social life of the whole world de­pends
upon the mingling of men and wom­en
in a congenial, unselfconscious manner.
If a girl spends her formative years talk­ing
to girls, dancing with girls, going places
with girls, will she be prepared to do the •
same things with men? Her only prepara­tion,
if any, will be secured through novels
and 'movies'.
"Competition sharpens wits, but particu­larly
it makes a girl feel the honor of her
sex at stake. In a mathematics class the
superior attitude of boys is enough to"
arouse any girl. Science, too, boys con­sider
assigned to them.
"A generation or so ago men might talk
to women about only trifling matters, -$Jow
men and women are conversational equals.
They study the same subjects, read the
same books, and think along the same line.
• "The greatest promoter for honest think­ing
is the school which lets boys and girls
think together. Love stories or psycholo­gy
course cannot teach a girl the mascu­line,
viewpoint. Only actual experience
which the intelligent girl can find daily in
her class room discussion, teaches her this.
"Over-shadowing all of these, co-educa­tion
gives her a normal attitude toward
men. The most dangerous result of girls'
schools is the strange, unnatural spotlight
thrown upon the opposite sex.
"Men and women are meant to grow up
together. If they must ever mingle they
should do so in the growing impressionable
period of their lives. Our school years are
years of preparation. How can they pre­pare
us for the world by shutting off half
of it?
"Co-education is natural. It is progress­ive.
It is broadening. In its added en­joyment,
mental stimulation and develop­ment
of the right attitude toward men, it
is the only education for the average girl."
The girl is quite right and we agree hear­tily
with her trend of thought. Imagine
Ag Bottom without co-eds.

SENIOR WALKS.
The University of Arkansas has some­thing

in 1905. Each graduating class lays
another slab in the walk, on which are en­graved
the names, on the class roll and the
class numerals set in bronze. No fresh­man
may step on it before Thanksgiving
Day—Woe be unto him who violates the
rule!

comment, and is not to be read as an expression
of our editorial policy.
Life at times seems to be the most prec­ious
thing on earth. At other times it
seems as though a good bullet would be
"much easier to $ace than some problems that
we encounter. Repeatedly we must take
the labouring oar and decide our fate.
Even today we hear of professors shoot­ing
co-eds. Why can't they go to Africa
to hunt big game?
I keep pecking away at this typewriter
thinking that sooner or later something
will come into my mind to write about.
This rain, on the outside^ of course, makes
me sleepy, I dare say that I may write
about sleep or rain. No one would like
to read about rain or sleep, neither of them
are luxuries. That is the way it is. Things
that are essential to one's natural growth,
health, and prosperity are the things we
think less about. As a selfish individual
I would prefer a Chrysler like our head
coach's than rain any day. I am not cer­tain
about the sleep.
There is the radio. I could tune in and
hear an orchestra playing for some square
dance, or maybe I could hear Amos and
Andy. I hear they have gone in the talk­ies
lately, and has scored a huge success
in a picture called, "Check and Double
Check". A New York critic says, "It is
entertainment tsrictly in the least inspired
manner". A breathless world awaits ra­dio's
most beloved artists. Maybe Fore­man
Rogers will let us see it here.

Sometimes I wonder what I will do when
I finish college. I happen to know a place
where I could get my food free in the bread
line in lower New York. The line extends
"two blocks on both sides of the street at
meal time. Opposing this line of thought,
I shudder to think of a heavyweight's in­come.
Gene Tunney cleaned up around two
cold millions in two years. He should be
able to pay the $500,000 suit recently filed
against him. From a bread line to mil­lions
is* not so bad. Then, too, there is al­ways
a chance for a democrat. In the last
election democrats are getting plenty of
jobs. I think like Will Rogers. He said,
"Candidates might as well not have any
platform, just tell the public that they are
racing for a job and any old platform
will do."

The building on the campus that the col­lege
designates as "L" is an "L" of a build­ing.
One or two of the class rooms have
glass for an outside wall. When the sun
shines and its rays strike you between
the eyes there is an indistinguishable fig­ure
in front of the class. But for the voice
one would not know whether a Professor
was there or not. One of the most mys­terious
things about the building is the
Profs, locking the doors to their class roms.
If they would leave the dors open in all
probability the sunshine would be stolen,
thereby eliminating too much light. To add
to the tranquil atmosphere about the build­ing
a cement mixer is usually running, or
a sledge hammer is crushing stone. Pecu­liar
that the mixer never leaves the place
while running and the hammer never scat­ters
while it is crushing.

Our modern world and modern youth
have created enough new words to fill
a n ewdictionery. Most of it is slang; some
call it slanguage. Some slang we use is a
collection of words that we have been ac­customed
to use, but in a different mean­ing.
I would like to suggest a few words
and phrases as my contribution to a new
dictionery. Some of them are: Too hot',
dump, go chase yourself, gosh, hell no, sap,
mind your own potatoes, you dirty bum,
bumped off, O. K., how's your dogs (feet),
dumb bell, you bet, oh boy, and how, sez
you, guts, hell's bells, gripe, lousy, sock,
wrench, tripe, neck, sho sho. I heard that
all our slang might be traced back to Fran­cis
Scott Key with the word "say". "Oh,
say can you see by the dawn's early light"?
At least one critic points this out.
The family that used to keep a quart in
the house now has a barrel in the cellar,
to age it.—James A. Reed.
Our happiness is equal to our resources
divided by our wants; we must diminish
our wants to increase our quotient.—Mgr.
Michael J. Lavelle.
Never be thoroughly satisfied with your­self,
for if you are, you will come to a
stalemate; you will stand still and quit
growing.—Henry Wollman.
The Frenchman loves his na'tive wine;
The German loves his beer;
The Englishman his 'alf and 'alf,
Because it brings good cheer.
The Irishman loves his "whisky straight",
Because it gives him dizziness.
The American has no choice at all,
So he drinks the whole darn business.

to those dark days and gun lit nights
of that soul searching, sacrificial
conflict when legions unnumbered,
gave the last grim measure of de­votion
in that awful carnage—and
yet
"In Flanders fields the poppies
blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark the spot; and in the sky
The larks, still lovely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead,
The fight that ye so bravely led
We've taken up, and we will keep.
True faith with you who be asleep,
With each a cross to mark his bed,
And poppies blowing overhead,
Where once his own life's blood
ran red,
In Flanders field."

Pledges Enjoy Dance at
Beta Kappa House
Oti Saturday night, November^,
the Beta Kappa Fraternity enter­tained
the pledges of the various
a fraternities with most colorful
dance.
The house was almost a bower of
autumn foliage, over which played
softly colored lights that gave an
thereal loveliness as of a moonlight
forest. The walls of the three rooms,
opened to the guests, were gay with
pennants of other fraternities. This
carried out the idea that the dance
was a general assembly of frater­nity
men, an opportunity for them
to become better acquainted with
each other. The log-fires in the
fire-places added a touch of coziness,
and around them were gathered
from' time to time groups from the
different fraternities to spend a few
moments in hearty good fellowship.
The dance opened with the Grand
March, led by Don Pierce and Mrs.
Harry Smith. The first no-break
followed, and the festivities were in
full swing. There were four no-breaks
in all, and one of them, the
balloon-dance, was the most colorful
of all. During the dance confetti
and streamers were thrown from the
balcony—another picture that added
color and picturesqueness.
Delicious punch was served as re­freshments.

The fraternity wishes to extend
its thanks to Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Har­ry
Smith, Mrs. C. H. Ham, and Prof.

making the dance a success.

Harriers Win From
Georgia And Keep
1930 Record Clean
By Marshall Caley
Auburn defeated the Georgia
cross country team 21 to 34 to have
a perfect record for the season.
Barnhart of Georgia got an early
lead and kept it all the way, but he
was the only man that seemed to
give the thinly clad Tigers any
trouble.
The" hills were new to the Au­burn
men, but they soon adapted
themselves to the new course. One
' or two of the Auburn men got lost,
but were called back to the regular
course before much time was lost.
Clarence Roberts and captain Joe
Plant led the Tigers throughout the
race and were closely followed by the
two McQueen brothers.
The order in which runners finish­ed:
Barnhart, Georgia; Roberts,
Plant, R. McQueen, J. McQueen, all
of Auburn; Bennett, Georgia; Pitts,
Auburn; Chapman, Young, and Ham­ilton
of Georgia; Huff and Caley,
Auburn; Williams and Mosely of
Georgia. .
Assistant Freshman Coach Also Track Star
Ducote Steps Out As
Official On Gridiron
"Moon" Ducote, probably one of
the five greatest football players the
South has ever produced, former Au­burn
star and Loyola grid coach, is
stepping out as one of the nation's
best officials.
Ducote was referee in the Ala­bama-
Vandy game and last week held
the same capacity in the Kentucky-
Alabama fracas. Yesterday, "Moon"
was in New York City serving as
head linesman in the Georgia-N. Y.
U.
In this column's opinion "Moon"
is the finest official in the South—
even better than Everett Strupper,
the old Tech star, and that's saying
a lot.
Ducote and Strupper are officials
of the same type. They never let
the game get out of control. No
matter how fast the action is, they
are on the ball all the time.
In the 'Bama-Vandy game, Suther
got away on a long run, going from
one sideline to the other and out of
bounds far up the field. Ducote did
not dash up a half a minute later
and plant his foot down with authori­ty,
designating where the man went
out.
Nothing like it. "Moon" raced
around end, juts a few strides be­hind
the play and when Suther went
out, he was on the spot. And the
ball was brought in at exactly the
right spot.
Next year , "Moon's" schedule
should contain more, and more big
games. For every contest he works
in, wins him more friends.

Weems Baskin, Assistant Freshman
Coach, Former Auburn Track Star
'Bama Backs And Line
Too Much For Vandy
Colonel R. B. McGhee, pastor of
the Auburn Methodist Church and
former Vanderbilt football star, at­tended
the Vandy-Tech game in At­lanta
last' week and asked Louie
Hardage, assistant coach at the Nash­ville
institution, what was the trouble
with the Commodores when they met
Alabama.
Hardage quickie replied with two
reasons. First, it was Alabama's
line; second, it was Alabama's back-field.
He also added that the Crim­son
Tide used three plays against
them when one would have been
enough.
This is quite a tribute to Wade's
Red Elephants, but it is almost a
certainty that Tennessee, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Florida and others had
the same trouble when they faced
the Thundering Herd.
By Tad McCallum
Weems O. Baskin, who aided Jack
Cannon in turning out Auburn's suc­cessful
freshman football team this
season, in addition to being a cap­able
football coach is one of the
greatest competitive athletes that
Auburn has produced.
Although he earned two letters in
football, it was as a cinder artist that
Baskin achieved national recognition
during his stay at the Tiger institu­tion.
After enrolling at Auburn in
1923, Baskin was placed under the
guiding hand of Coach Wilbur Hut-sell
and in the following three years
he developed into a one man track
team. In 1927 as captain of the
Auburn harriers, he participated in
both the high and low hurdles, shot
put, high jump, and discus throw and
usually managed to place in all five
events regardless of the class of
competition he was encountering.
Hurdling was "Weemie's" special­ty
and he is the present holder of
two world's records in the high hurd-
Tigers Trailing at Half
First Time of Year Sat.
By Elmer G. Salter
When Auburn left the field at the
end of the first half in the game with
Tulane in New Orleans last Saturday
on the short end of a 14 to 0 score,
it was the first time this year that
Chet Wynne's Tigers had been be­hind
at intermission.
The 1930 Plainsmen have played
Birmingham-Southern, Spring Hill,
Florida, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Wof-ford
and Tulane, and only the 1929
Southern Conference champions have
been able to outscore them in the
first and second quarters. Mississippi
A. & M., Vanderbilt and South Caro­lina
are yet to be played, A. & M.
in Birmingham, Saturday; Vandy in
Nashville, November 22, and South
Carolina in Columbus, Ga., Thanks­giving,
November 27.
The scores at the end of the first
half in the games played by the Tig­ers
this season have been: Birming­ham-
Southern, 0-0; Spring Hill, 13-
0; Florida, 0-0; Georgia Tech, 12-0;
Georgia, 7-7; Wofford, 26-0, and Tu­lane,
0-14.
les. Both of these records were hung
up while Baskin was representing
the. New York Athletic Club after
departing from Auburn in 1928. The
first was recorded in the 50 yard high
hurdles in the N. Y. A. C. Games
and the second in the 60 yard high
hurdles in the Meadowbrook games
at Philadelphia.
Baskin is also holder of the South­ern
Conference and Southeastern A.
A. U. records in the 120 yard high
hurdles and the 70 yard indoor rec­ord
of the National A. A. U. He was
the national collegiate high hurdles
champion in 1927, his last year as a
member of the A. P. I. track squad.
Returning to Auburn to receive
his degree in 1929, Baskin was ap­pointed
assistant football and track
coach and is now acting in that ca­pacity.
The Auburn frosh aggrega­tion,
coached by Baskin and Cannon,
closed their season last week with a
brilliant 19 to 0 victory over the
Tulane freshmen.
Harkins Following in
Footsteps of Brother
(
By Elmer G. Salter
Dunham Harkins, captain of Au­burn's
football team, is following in
the footsteps of his illustrious broth­er,
Mitchell "Red" Harkins, who led
kthe Tigers in 1925 from a tackle
berth. Dunham performs at center,
where he is rated as one of the best
in Dixie.
The 1925 team captained by
Mitchell won five games, lost three
and tied 1. This year's eleven will
not go down in history with as good
percentage record, but when the sea­son
is brought to a close in Colum­bus,
Thanksgiving, against South
Carolina, it is believed that the show­ing
made by the 1930 team will
startle the football universe more
than the wins and losses recorded
by the 1925 team.
The sobriquet of "Red" which is
attached to Dunham was inherited
from his older brother, who possesses
flaming red locks, but the youngest
member of the family to make ath­letic
history at the Cornerstone has
never been known to have any Au­burn
hair.
Sidelights On The
Tiger-Greenie Tilt
Played Saturday
• By Adrian Taylor
The appearance that the Auburn
band made on the field was indeed
gratifying to all Auburn men, and
the small contribution made from
each student's fee, in order that the
band might make the trip, was cer­tainly
well invested. Auburn is in­deed
fortunate in having a drum
major of the caliber of Harold Har­mon,
as he is one of the best in the
conference.
* * *
All the reams of poetry and the
many adjectives that have been used
in describing New Orleans are quite
inadequate, for it is a wonderful
city.
* * *
There has never been an Auburn
football team that was any more im­bued
with the fighting Auburn Spirit
than the team that battled Tulane
so bitterly Saturday.
* * *
The actual statistics of the game
failed to show the amount of fighting
that the Auburn team j>ut up. Tu­lane
made 17 first downs to Au­burn's
6, and the Greenies made 313
yards from scrimmage to Auburn's
173. Hitchcock did some good punt­ing
in spite of one bad punt. He
kicked the ball 11 times for an av­erage
of 34 yards, while Felts punt­ed
6 times for an average of 43
yards.
The officiating was the worse ever
exhibited by Southern Conference of­ficials.
The officials failed to see
miscues by both teams and the game
sefemed to get from under their con­trol.
Auburn was penalized three
times for a total of 25 yards while
Tulane was penalized five times for
a total of 78 yards. Most of Tulane's
penalities came in the last quarter.
* * *
"Pi" Dufour, sportswriter for the
New Orleans Items-Tribune expres­sed
the opinion that Auburn is back,
and that the Tigers would win the
rest of their games including the
strong Vanderbilt team. Other
sports writers of the Crescent City
spoke very favorably of the team.
The Freshman team has little
trouble in defeating the Tulane frosh
and showed latent power. Phipps
accurate passing was the feature of
the game.
Three Sophomores Playing in Tiger Line
Holdcroft Only Married
Member'30 Grid Squad
By Elmer G. Salter
Several members of Auburn's 1930
football team act like they intend
venturing into the sea of matrimony
real soon, but the only member of
the squad who' has been thrown for
a loss by Dan Cupid is George Hold­croft,
veteran tackle and former
Ensley High School star.
Holdcroft has been married 15
months, marrying between his fresh­man
and sophomore year, but kept
it a secret during the 1929 football
season. However, his spare mom­ents
were generally spent in Ensley,
so it finally leaked out that he was
no longer listed in Auburn's "Who's
Who" as a bachelor.
The Tigers only married man has
another season to wear Orange and
Blue colors on the gridiron, and is
expected to be a vastly improved
player next year. He was ranked as
a promising freshman in 1928 and
showed up well last season, but in­juries
have handicapped him consid­erably
this year. He is just recov­ering
from a shoulder injury receiv­ed
on the eve of the Florida game
and is expected to be much aid to
the tackle department before the
season closes against South Carolina
in Columbus, Ga., Thanksgiving day,
Nov. 27.

GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE
= By ADRIAN TAYLOR = =
The unconquerable Catfish Smith,
Georgia's great end, seems to be very
adept at calling plays. The rumor
goes that Smith, while riding out to
the Polo Grounds, read an article in
the paper in which Coach Meehan,
N. Y. U.'s coach, expressed the opin­ion
that his team would beat Geor­gia
7-6. Thereupon Smith solemnly
s'ated, "I'll kick our point after a
touchdown and they'll never beat us
by one point. "The Catfish did that
very thing and Georgia won, 7-6."
However the close margin of vic­tory
failed to portray the superb
drive of Georgia's attack and the
Bulldogs slashing defensive play.
Georgfa scored on a forward pass
from Austin Downes to Herbert Maf-fett,
shortly after the start of the
third period. The Bulldogshad been
on the short end of the score from
the beginning of the second period,
when a pass from Joe Lamark to Hu-gret
was completed and the big end,
by sheer strength broke away from
Austin Downes and ran 12 yards. The
Georgians scored a second time, but
Maffett stepped in the end zone as
he caught the pass.
The conquerors of Carnegie Tech
a week ago never seemed able to
cope with the Georgia defense. Their
running attack was smeared by Maf­fett
and Smith, Georgia's brialliant
ends.
* * +
Alabama's Crimson Tide flowed
Saturday, there was no ebb, in the
great home-coming day of the FlorP
da alumni at the formal dedication
of their magnificent stadium. The
final score was Alabama 20; Florida
0.
Florida's fighting Gators put up
magnificent defense and fought vali-ently
with Jimmy Steele, their mighty
guard, performing miracles in stop­ping
the fleet-footed Campbell, the
spinning Suther, the hard-plugging
Cain and the versatile Tucker. But
they were not checked often enough,
Campbell getting away for two touch­downs
and Tucker for the third.
Wallace Wade, 'Bama's mentor,
put three teams on the field Satur­day,
beginning the festivities with a
mixture of the trio with Captain
Clements as the only first stringer
at the beginning. Any one of the
teams might have defeated the Ga­tors,
the first stringers certainly
could, and it is now a matter of his­tory
that the three teams scored an
average of one touchdown per each
team.

Nicknames Abundant
Among Tiger Athletes
By Elmer G. Salter
A glossary of nicknames can be
obtained from Auburn's 1930 foot­ball
team as four of the coaches and
fourteen players have sobriquets that
answer to.
The title of "Red" predominates
since Hannis Prim and George Jenk­ins
have flaming locks and Capt.
Dunham Harkins fell heir to this
name from his brother. The name
of "Sleepy" runs "Red" a close sec­ond
as Ernest Molpus and Tom
Brown answer to this appellation.
In addition to the above players,
the coaches and players who have
pet callings are: Chester Wynne
"Chet"; Earl McFaden "Bull"; Roger
Kiley "Rog"; Ralph Jordan "Lefty";
Weemie Baskin "Weems"; Erquiet

Auburn Freshmen
Win From Benning
Team On Tuesday
By Harry Barnes
Coach Jack Cannon's Auburn
freshmen defeated the strong Fort
Benning eleven here Tuesday after­noon
14 to 0. The Armistice day
battle marked the close of a suc­cessful
season by Cannon's team.
Auburn took the lead early in
the first quarter when Phipps, the
fleet Tiger halfback ran 93 yards
through the whole Benning team for
a touchdown. Phipps started around
the Soldiers left end, shook off three
tacklers, dise-stepped another, and
got into open field. By this time
several of his mates had formed a
line of interference for him and he
ran the remaining distance unmolest­ed.
This play put the taboo on scoring
activities until late in the third period
when "Red" Head grabbed one of
Phipps tosses from the air and skirt­ed
the sidelines for forty yards and
the final score of the game.
Few thrills were seen during the
contest as a heavy rain had fallen
all the»morning and continued to
drizzle throughout the afternoon,
putting the field in a sloppy condition
and slowing up play considerably.
Phipps was the shining light of
the frosh as he tore off long gains
through the Soldiers' line consistent­ly,
and placed the ball in scoring po­sition
several times.
The Auburn goal was never in
danger and few first downs were
made over them by the Benningites,
but excellent kicking by the Benning
back kept them out of danger on
several occasions.'

Auburn 7 0 7 0—14

Oyster Industry In Need Of Aid
From Colleges, Professor States
C6lleges and universities present
great possibilities of usefulness to
the oyster industry, according to an
article in the current issue of Sci­ence*
on "How the College Can Aid
the Oyster Industries" by Dr. Donald
W. Davis, professor of Biology at
William and Mary. "In oyster pro­duction
there are unsolved general
problems and local situations requir­ing
investigation and control by men
trained in the use of scientific meth­ods."
t
Professor Davis tells the story of
Alexander the Great, that as a young
man he watched the efforts of his
father's servants 'to tame an excep­tionally
fine horse, and noticing that
the horse shied at its shadow, he
obtained permission to attempt to
ride him. He faced Bucephalus to­ward
the sun and forthwith had him
under full control. The obvious
moral to this tale is "know your oy­ster!"
"Knowing your oyster adequately
for satisfactory control," he contin­ues
"requires use of the microscope,
the test-tube, the salinometer, the
balance, the kymograph and most of
the rest of the physical, chemical
and biological equipment of our bio­logical
laboratories. It requires also
the mind trained in interpreting the
revelations of these aids to our sen­ses.
•
"It seems clear, then, that in oy­ster
production there are unsolved
general problems and local situations
requiring investigation and control
by men trained in the use of scien­tific
methods. The function of the
college and the university in con­ducting
such studies and in training
men for such work unquestionably
have their part in our industry."
Dr. Davis pointed out certain ad­vantages
of having researches in the
interest of the oyster industry in
close touch with college or universi­ty.
He claimed that in these insti­tutions
much in the way of over­head
expense is already taken care
of, much equipment is already sup-

Summer school at Auburn was, I
think, all that we had expected and
more. We had planned it so long that
it was bound to be a success—and
was from the start. Before the
summer was up the Phi Delta Theta
house which we occupied came to be
known quite as well by the iname
"Judson House." Monday, June the
third, the girls began to arrive, and
too, oh and ah all over the building,
selecting rooms (at the back when­ever
possible), and going up to the
campus to register. There were
about twenty-five Judson girls in all
who attended the summer school.
The Phi Delta Thetas who were in
summer school welcomed us to their
house and insisted upon meeting
every train to bring the girls up,
making arrangements for meals and
doing everything that they could to
make us feel entirely at home.
With schedules arranged and
rooms made habitable, we started in­to
our work with real earnestness.
Some had seven-thirty classes but
many of us had made special pro­vision
to be abed until nine or later.
We soon found, however, it was quite
as inconvenient to wake at nine as
at six-thirty", once the habit was
formed. The most interesting thing
to me in connection with my course
was an occasional visit to the nursery
school which has recently been start­ed
at Auburn.
Lessons over for the day, what a
jolly time we did have in the after­noons
and evenings—swimming par­ties,
tennis, picnics, and whatnot,
while the Judson girls fast gained a
reputation as - the peppiest bunch
on the campus.
The boys themselves were as nice
to us as possible and couldn't do
enough to make our stay enjoyable
The spirit at Auburn is just like that
of a big family.
One of my most pleasant memo­ries
of Auburn is the Delta Sigma
Phi radio which each night sang us
to sleep from across the way. No
matter how tired I was, it always
made me'forget my troubles and go
to sleep in peace.
About half of our girls left reluc­tantly
at the end of the first six
weeks. Mrs. Wilkinson, our chape-rone
and house mother, to whom
much of the credit is due for a de­lightful
summer, decided to keep the
house open for the last session also.
We filled the house with girls from
ether colleges, principally the Uni­versity
and Montevallo girls.
The girls who went to summer
school seemed to be drawn together
by a very special band up here and
now and then we gather in a very
jolly "bull session" or crowd eagerly
over a Plainsman. For my part I
thoroughly enjoyed the summer, but
when September the seventeenth
came around I was more than eager
to get back to Judson, which, after
all, there is nothing else quite like.

Extension Engineers
Promoting Terracing
Having as their goal more acres of
protected soil in Alabama J. R. Wil­son
and W. H. Gregory, extention
agriculture engineers are promoting
farm terracing throughout Alabama
They are doing their work in coope
ration with the county demonstra­tion
agents who are making terrac­ing
a major project during the fall
and winter months.
The purpose of the work is to pro­tect
land against washing which, they
declare, removes four or five times as
much plant food as crops remove.
At costs varying from $2.00 to
$5.00 per acre land can be terraced
and the huge losses caused by wash­ing
and leaching avoided, a state­ment
issued by them reveals. A
system of terraces properly built will
control water and hold plant food on
the field. Where this is done richer
soils will be found; and less fertiliz­er-
will be needed, they added.
The value of such terracing is rec­ognized
by the Federal Loan Banks
which frequently refuse to make
loans on unterraced land which is
rolling. They regard such land as an
unsafe risk. Consequently they re­quire
terracing before placing loans
upon them.
Two types of terraces are recom­mended
by the Auburn engineers and
the Alabama county agents. One is
the Mangum terrace ami the other
is the Nichols terrace which was de­veloped
by Prof. M. L. Nichols of
Auburn. Instead of being a ridge it
is a shallow ditch.
"It is a well known fact", conclud­ed
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Gregory,
"that tBe only source of income for
the farmer is from the soil. It is not
there in the fine rich mellow con­dition
that it was when the timber
was first taken off.
If we are to continue receiving
an income from this soil we must stop
the washing. This can be done with
a definite system of well built and
well maintained terraces."

PERMISSION TO USE BIBLE
AS TEXTBOOK TO BE PUT
BEFORE VOTERS IN WASH.
Olympi.a, Wash.—(IP)—It is
thought possible that a constitutional
amendment may be submitted to
Washington voters in the near fut­ure,
calling for the permission to use
the Bible as a textbook in the pub­lic
schools of the State.
Since Washington became a State,
religious education in common
schools has been forbidden by the
constitution. The question has been
taken through the courts by inter­ested
individuals and organizations.
Reports from colleges in localities
as far apart as New York and Ari­zona,
indicate that far from being
the gathering places of pallid intelli­gentsia,
college campusses are now
practically health resorts.

Varied Opportunities On Modern
Theatre Forseen For Collegians
There is a definite relation be
tween the modern theatre and the
university, according to views ex­pressed
by Kenneth MacGowan, pro­minent
theatrical producer, in an in­terview
with Spectator. Mr. Mac
Go wan, a Harvard graduate, con­nected
with the stage for the last
fifteen years as a critic, producer
and author, will be the guest of
honor at a tea to be given by the
Women's Graduate Club tomorrow
at 4 P. M. in 301 Philosophy.
"Today more than at any other
time," Mr. MacGowan said, "the
stage offers great opportunities to
men who have been well and widely
i educated. In almost every phase of
theatrical work, specialized educa­tion
is a premium. There is a wide
demand for the truly finished gentle­man
type of actor, a university pro­duct
invariably. Moreover, on the
technical side of the theatre the
highly skilled worker, frequently a
graduate of an engineering school, is
becoming the rule Vather than the
exception."
"You have produced plays and
have criticized them. Just what
should a college man study who is
seeking a stage career?" Mr. Mac­Gowan
was asked.
cocoanut flags—which you cannot
get any more."
"Well", he answered, "to be an
actor a college man can study al­most
anything—and then not suc­ceed
unless he has special qualities
that bring him success. Frankly, a
college can't teach anyone to be an
actor, but it can broaden his scope
and train his mind. The would-be
actor should know literature, lan­guages
and history.
"The last is very important since
there is a powerful dramatic quality
in historic personalities. ' By all
means too he should become
thoroughly acquainted with the stage
craft of his day.
"In this respect the Eastern uni­versity
dramatic groups are inferior
to those of the Middle West and
the Coast. They do not offer suffi­cient
theatrical experience. There
are too few college theatres, and
those that do exist are narrow in
scope and activity. Still, from what­ever
angle, the university is indis­pensable
to the modern theatre."

STEPPING INTO A MODERN WORLD
It looms up large in their lives
The telephone has a big place in the daily lives
of most people today, but its place will be even
bigger tomorrow.
Its importance has been fostered by the work
of men in all phases of the telephone business
and no little part has been taken by those en­gaged
in selling. They have helped to effect
an increase of more than three and a half mil­lion
Bell telephones in the last five years. In
the same period they have been instrumental
in making the public realize more completely
the telephone's usefulness. Result: an in­crease
from 49,000,000 calls per day to
65,000,000.
For men with a leaning toward sales pro­motion,
the opportunity is there!

Alumni Association
Is Showing Progress
Auburn's Alumni Association is
showing a great deal of progress, and
Alumni are cooperating in the sup­port
of the organization as never be­fore,
it was stated by J. V. Brown
yesterday. Men from distant states
are sending in their annual dues, and
subscriptions in large numbers, and
it appears that the association will
soon be self-sustaining, he said. News
comes to the Alumni office that Au­burn
men in every section of the
United States are more than pleased
with the new, coaching staff, and
with the administration for making
such a wise selection of capable men.
The office is kept busy answering
mail coming from many sources, giv-deeply
interested in the affairs of
ing evidence that Auburn men are
their Alma Mater.
The local clubs in the cities where
Auburn plays its games hold enthu­siastic
meetings on the evening prior
to the day the game is to be played.
At this time the former Auburn men
have the opportunity of becoming ac­quainted
with the coaching staff.
Such meetings have been held in Mo­bile,
Columbus, Atlanta, and Mont­gomery.
A smoker has been ar­ranged
for Auburn men in Birming­ham
next Friday evening. The coach­ing
staff will be present, and a very
interesting program will be rendered.

AUBURN HAS WON TEN
OUT OF TWELVE GAMES
By Elmer G. Salter
Since the first meeting between
Auburn and Mississippi A. & M. on
the gridiron in 1905, the two teams
have met 12 times with the Tigers
winning ten and losing two games.
The wins recorded by. the Maroons
were in 1927 and 1929, 7-6 and 13-0,
Auburn has emerged the winner
on ten occasions, but the Plainsmen
have never been able to trounce the
Aggies by a large score. The 34 to
0 win in 1913 is the largest number
of points scored on the Mississippians
while they have never been able to
score over three touchdowns since
the 1913 battle.
Indications point toward the thir­teenth
meeting between the two
elevens being another typical Tiger-
Maroon contest with neither having
much of a pre-game advantage. It
would not be surprising if one touch
down did not decide the winner when
they meet on Legion Field, Birming­ham,
Saturday.

Literary Societies
To Hold Joint Meet
To come to some definite conclu­sion
in regard to future literary so­ciety
work will be the purpose of a
joint meeting of Auburn's three lit­erary
societies at room 301 of the
Main building, Tuesday night, No­vember
.18. The announcement was
made by Murff Hawkins, president of
Phi Delta Gamma, national forensic
fraternity.
At a meeting Phi Delta Gamma
which was held Tuesday night, the
fact was stated that literary society
work at Auburn was slowly dying out
and the statement was based on the
fact that there has not been a society
meeting held in two weeks. It is the
object of Phi Delta Gamma to get at
the real cause of this condition at
the joint meeting November 18.
The Auburn chapter of Phi Delta
Gamma was founded in 1924, and its
purpose is to encourage work in de­bating,
declamation, and all forms of
forensic activity. To be able to carry
out this purpose to thebest advantage
of all Auburn students the members
of the fraternity expressed the opin­ion
that society work should be con­tinued
at Auburn, and, with this in
mind, Phi Delta Gamma is sponsoring
a move for better literary societies.

"RED" CHRIS CAGLE HAS
QUIT AS AGGIE MENTOR
(The Montgomery Advertiser)
Chris Cagle, former star of the
Army football team, has decided that
he likes playing much better than
coaching and has decided to take up
professional football for the rest of
the season.
Cagle has signed to play with the
New York Giants of the National
League, Tom Mara, owner of the
Giants announced today. In a let­ter
which accompanied Cagle's signed
contract the former Army ace said
that he was satisfied that he was not
much of a success as a coach and
wanted to get back into the game as
a player.
After eight years of college foot­ball
at Southwestern Louisiana Insti­tute
and Army, Cagle signed this
year to coach Mississippi A. & M.
His team has lost five of its six
games. Cagle is to leave Starkville,
Miss., by airplane tomorrow and will
arrive in New York in time for Sun­day's
game between the Giants and
the Chicago Bears. He is not ex­pected
to play until the following
week against the Green Bay Packers.

LECTURES TO FRESHMEN
ON DAYS OF ADOLESCENCE
Washington, D. C—(IP)—"Coon-skin
coats, college caps and collegiate
slang are remnants of the irrespon­sible
days of adolescence that must
be put aside upon entering cqllege,"
Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of
the George Washington University,
'told members of. the Freshman class
here this year.
"Don't confuse the burning of gas
with the burning of mid-night oil,"
he said. "You may go further over­land
on the former, but it won't get
you as far on the road you are to
travel while in college. Loafing is a
disease, a malfunctioning of worth­while
energy. Choose as your friends
those who are going somewhere, and
go with them."

and that its bareness detracts from
the pleasure of social events.
November 22 was selected to avoid
competition from football games. The
Tigers will play in Nashville that
Saturday and there will be no game
in Montgomery or Columbus/*
It is expected that a number of
the townspeople of Auburn and Ope­lika
will attend in addition to a larg­er
number of the faculty than ever
before. ••
To add to the enjoyment of the oc­casion
bridge tables and cards will
be provided. This is expected to be
attractive to those who wish to at­tend
and enjoy a social evening with
other members of the faculty, but do
not care to dance.
Music will be furnished by the Au­burn
Knights. This is a 10-piece or­chestra
composed of the best musi­cians
in the Auburn student body.
The Knights have been appearing reg­ularly
over Station WSFA of Mont­gomery
and have also played over
WAPI. Their music has proved pop­ular
and entertaining for radio au­diences,
and they are expected to turn'
in an excellent performance for the
faculty festival.
President Edwards is confident that
this faculty dance will be a success.
"All indications point to the fact that
the November 22nd dance will be
the best ever staged by the faculty,"
he declared. "I have talked personal­ly
with representatives of every di­vision
of the faculty and they are all
interested in promoting a good dance.
Members of the executive committee
will see every member of the faculty
personally and assure them that they
will miss a delightful dance if they
