Mass Meeting
ENTHUSIASM IS AROUSED
Happy Davis Says Old Auburn
Religion Revived
Again
With flaming letters, spelling "Au­burn",
held aloft and with the bat­tle
cry of A. P .1. ringing long and
loud, an enthusiastic crowd of over
five hundred students paraded from
Langdon Hall through town to the
depot Thursday night where the var­sity
team was given what was claimed
by many to be the greatest send-off
the team has received in years.
As the band played the old Auburn
favorites, students became wild with
enthusiasm. "You've got it!", shout
ed "Happy" Davis, "you've got the
old Auburn religion!", whereupon the
band struck up the tune of "Old
Time Religion." Then yells resound
ed over the plains; the din increased
,to a pandemonium which continued
until almost everyone had shouted
himself hoarse. Gradually, the yells
and shouts subsided until, from far
up the railroad track, came the glim­mer
of a light. As the train ap­proached,
the din increased. Those
beside the track could not hear the
engine. The Tigers entrained as the
band played "Alabama Swing". Af
ter the train had pulled out, the
crowd broke up, but the students had
spoken their support of the Plains­men
in no uncertain terms.
"I think I have never seen the
boys so peppy", said one of the busi
ness men in town after the meeting
was over. One of the freshmen re­marked,
"Boy, why can't we make
every mass meeting like this?"
Auburn Student to Be
Union Vice-President
Frank Turner, a junior, in Agri­culture,
was elected first vice-presi­dent
of the Alabama Baptist Stu­dent
Union, at the Southwide B. S
U. Conference held in Atlanta last
week-end. Miss Eleanor Yost, of
Alabama College was re-elected pres­ident.
The conference opened Thursday
night and continued through Sunday
with three meetings held daily, one
in the morning, one in the afternoon,
and one at night. The programs for
. these meetings were made up by
some of the most prominent Baptist
students and Baptist leaders. Out
of the 2,100 students attending this
conference, twenty-six were from
Auburn and there were very few
colleges who were better represent­ed.
American Legion To
Sponsor Barbecue
The American Legion, with the aid
of the civic clubs of Auburn and
Opelika, will sponsor a barbecue on
Armistice Day, November 11, at
12:15. The affair will be held in
the grove near Major John T. Ken­nedy's
home, and will be attended by
members of The American Legion,
members of the Rotary, Kiwanis, and
Lions Clubs, and their wives.
A special effort will be made to
get members of the American Legion
in this section of Alabama to at­tend,
and all ex-service men, wheth­er
members of The Legion or not,
are invited. Ex-service men who are
not member of The American Legion
are invited to join at this time.

Feature
The annual Ag Fair, sponsored by
the Student's Agricultural Club, was
held last night with a record crowd
attending. The affair was preceded
in the afternoon by the usual parade

polo between the Sophomores
and Freshmen.
First Meeting Of Ag
Engineers Club Held
The Agricultural Engineers Club
held its first meeting of the year
Monday evening at 7 p. m., at the
agriculture building. Short talks
were given by the faculty members
present on the aims and purposes
of the association, and each of them
expressed the desire to cooperate
with the club in any way possible to
further its growth and usefulness.
J. B. Wilson, who is connected with
the Alabama extension service, gave
a very interesting talk concerning
his trip to the annual convention of
The American Society of Agricul­tural
Engineers which met at Moline,
111. The speaker also extended an in­vitation
to all Auburn students, to
attend any of his demonstrations in

Eight Auburn Women
Go To P.-T. A. Meet
By Elmer G. Salter
Thirty f rosh - gridders, Coaches
Jack Cannon and Weems Baskin,
President Bradford Knapp, and man­ager
Ike Lewis will board the train
tonight for New Orleans. The Fresh­men
will engage the Baby Wave in
a preliminary contest to the varsity
game between the two schools Sat­urday
afternoon.
The Auburn frosh gridders will at­tempt
to finish their 1930 season with
a .500 average by winning from the
Tulane plebes in New Orleans Satur­day
morning. The Tiger Cubs have
won from Georgia, lost to Georgia
Tech and Florida and tied Birming­ham-
Southern.
Coaches Jack Cannon and Weems
Baskin have worked the yearlings
hard this week in preparation for
their final regular game of the year.
The Southern Conference limits the
number of games a freshman team
can play to five, but a practice af­fair
will probably be staged by the
reserve frosh against a team from
Fort Benning, here on Armistice Day.
The Orange and Blue rats will be
minus the services of Bumpers who
opened at fullback against the Baby
Yellow Jackets last Saturday. Bump­ers,
received a leg injury, in Atlanta,
which put him out for the season.
The players making the trip were:
centers, Weaver and Burge; guards,
Woodall, Jacobs, Searcy, Chambless,
Jones and Crossland; tackles, Burle­son,
Holmes, Nobinger, McCollum
and Bennett; ends, Ariail, Huggins,
Daniels, Blunt and Randolph; quart­erbacks,
Baker, Head and Williams;
halfbacks, Phipps, Neal, Adams, Kim«-
brell, Rogers and Hicks; fullbacks,
Dupree, Talley and Nelson.
The probable line-up for Auburn
is: Ariail, left end; Holmes, left
tackle; Woodall, left guard; Burge,
center; Chambless, right guard; Mc­Collum,
right tackle; Huggins, right
end; Baker, quarterback; Phipps, left
halfback; Neal, right halfback, and
Dupree, fullback.
Auburn-Georgia
Harriers Will
Meet Saturday
Both Teams Are Undefeated
So Far This Season; Meet
In Athens
Two undefeated cross-country
teams, representing Auburn and the
University of Georgia, will meet in
Athens Saturday afternoon. Wilbur
HutselFs harriers were perfect in de­feating
the Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets*, 15 to 50, as fifteen was the
lowest number of points they could
have possible annexed. The Red and
Black runners defeated Florida in
their season's debut.
The first seven runners to cross
the tape against Tech were IJutsell
proteges. Clarence Roberts, junior,
made his best time of the year over
the five mile course in his first en­gagement
of the 1930 season.
Joe Plant, William and James Mc­Queen,
Marshall Caley, James How­ard
Pitts and Elton Huff also turned
in nice performances against the En­gineers.
Their time probably would
have been better if they had been
pushed a little closer during the race.
The team will leave for Athens
Friday at noon and will be in charge
of Percy Beard, captain of Auburn's
1929 track team, one of the greatest
hurdlers in the United States. Beard
is at present an instructor in civil
engineering here and will be in
charge of the team because Track
Coaches Wilbur Hutsell and Weems
Baskin will be in New Orleans with
the Auburn varsity and freshman
football teams.
The runners who will journey to
Athens are: Roberts, McQueen bro­thers,
Caley,' Huff, Pitts and Plant.

Proclamation Issued
By Governor Graves
In France at eleven o'clock on
the morning of November 11th, 1918,
along that far-flung battle line of the
Western Front a sudden silence de­scended.
The war was over! At that
instant in the hearts and minds of
ten million men—combatants of the
armies of the'United States, France,
England, Italy, Germany, and Aus­tria,
came the single thought—
"Thank God! The war has ended!"
In all the great cities of the United
States and Europe, as well as in the
towns and little villages, there was
great rejoicing and happiness at the
end of the strife and bloodshed. But
in many homes this happiness was
tinged with sadness for there was a
vacant chair which would never again
be filled. Its former occupant now
lay in a grave in far off Flanders
Field with blood-red poppies gently
swaying in the breeze above him.
In commemoration of this occasion
Governor Bibb Graves has issued the
following proclamation:
"Whereas, the Legislature has in­corporated
Armistice Day, Novem-

Boarding the train for the fourth
successive trip to the Tulane game,
Auburn's famous band will leave to­night
at 7:30. The trip is made pos­sible
through the efforts of Omicron
Delta Kappa, and the contributions
of the student body. Three cheer­leaders
will accompany the band.
The first appearance of Bedie Bi-dez's
musical organization in the
Crescent City was in 1926, when they
took part in the dedication of Tu-lane's
stadium. Since that time it
has become an annual trip, and fans
of the Louisiana city have been loud
in their praise of the Auburn musi­cians.
This year the student body has
included the cheerleaders in the
group sent to New Orleans.
A large number of students have
also signified their intention of mak­ing
the trip, both by automobile and
train. The Western Railway of Ala­bama
is offering reduced rates, and
round trip tickets may be procured
for $13.87.
Indications are bright for a large
representation of Auburn fandom to
be present.at the game.
With a series of six, brief talks

A minature regiment of moleskin
wearers, consisting of Auburn's var­sity
and freshman learns will invade
New Orleans this week end for games
with the Tulane varsity and plebe
elevens. The varsity team departed
on the Piedmont Limited Thursday
night, while the frosh team, accom­panied
by Auburn's famous band
boarded the train Friday night. The
varsity was sent off with an enor­mous
torchlight parade.
The varsity contingent consisted of
Coaches Wynne, Kiley, Hutsell; Busi­ness
Manager Travis Ingram; Mana­gers
George Washington Smith and
Aubrey Lewis and 29 players.
Before departing for the scene of
battle, the Tigers were given a
lengthy and strenuous drill on Drake
field. And in the rough work, the
backs carried off honors, however, at
times, the linemen were opening up
large gaps for tUe ball carriers.
With the exception of J. D. Bush,
regular guard, who is out for the
season with the mumps, the Plains­men
entrained for the Crescent City
in good condition. Capt. Harkins and
John D. Simpkins have minor ail­ments,
but will be in shape for the
Greenies.
The spirit of the team was also
bolstered by the return of Lindley
Hatfield. Hatfield, outstanding half­back,
has been out of the line-up
since the Tech game, but is in condi­tion
for the Greenies. *.
The starting line-up against the
Green Wave will probably be: Grant,
left end; Arthur, left tackle; Burt,
left guard; Capt. Harkins, center;
Jones, right guard; Primm, right
tackle; Egge, right end; Parker,
quarterback; Pate, left halfback;
Hitchcock, right halfback; and Brown
at fullback.
In addition to those mentioned
above, the following made the trip

CULTURAL COURSES
No doubt, at various time during our
four years stay in Auburn, all of us have
wondered why different subjects which
seem to have no direct bearing on the types
of work we are studying are included in
the courses. Cultural subjects such as Eng­lish,
French, Spanish, German, philosophy,
psychology, and others, seem to bob up in
most unexpected places where there is no
evident relation between them and the gen­eral
courses being pursued.
"Why are these subjects included in the
engineering curriculum?" is a question fre­quently
asked. It seems that a more logi­cal
question would be, "Why are not more
of these subjects required?"
It is our belief that on many occasions
successful men who have been denied the
benefits of a cultural background have re­alized
the values of such training, and in
support of this contention, we quote an ex­cerpt
from Chauncey M. Depew, in the au­tobiography,
My Memories of Eighty Years:
"In connection with this I may say that
it has been my lot, in the peculiar position
which I have occupied for more than a half-century
as counsel and adviser for a great
corporation and its creators and the many
successful men who have surrounded them,
to learn to know how men who have been
denied in their youth the opportunities for
a cultural education feel when they are in
possession of fortunes and the world seems
at their feet. Then they painfully recog­nize
their limitations, then they know their
weaknesses, then they understand that there
are things which money cannot buy, and
that there are gratifications and triumphs
which no fortune can secure. The one la­ment
of all those men has been, 'Oh!, if I
had been educated; I would sacrifice all
that I have to obtain the opportunities of
the college, to be able to sustain not only
conversation and discussion with the edu­cated
men with whom I come in contact,
but competent also to enjoy what I see is
a delight to them beyond anything which
I know' ".
COLLEGE SPIRIT?
Attention is called to a news item con­cerning
the suspension of forty-two stu­dents
of Princeton University for "conduct
described . . . as being beneath reds or gang­sters."
The Associated Press dispatch is as fol­lows:
"Their conduct described by the dean
as being beneath reds or gangsters,
42 Princeton University undergradu­ates
have been suspended for partici­pating
in a riot last Wednesday. -
"The names of those suspended were
not given out by Dean Christian Gauss.
Four were dropped for a year; two un­til
the end of the Christmas vacation;
five for one month; three for two
weeks; 14 for one week, and 14 for an
indefinite period.
"The riot was an aftermath of a foot­ball
rally designed to arouse enthusiasm
for the Princeton-Chicago game last
Saturday which ended in a scoreless
tie.
"After the rally the students rushed in­to
Nassau street, blocked traffic by
pushing parked cars into the middle of
the roadway, wrecked a theatre tick­et
booth, rocked buses, turned on fire
hydrants and ended by pulling the
statue of "the Christian Student" from
its pedestal and dragging it through
the street."
This is a black mark against the name
of Princeton University, placed there by a
group of thoughtless students who prabob-ly
imagined themselves displaying college
spirit.
But such results of football rallies and
mass meetings are not characteristic of
what colleges and the American college men
are supposed to represent, and it is only
right that the few men who will go to
such extremes should be punished.
Only recently a few students at the Uni­versity
of Alabama staged a parade through
the streets of Tuscaloosa, causing damage
to property belonging to residents. The
incident was featured in newspapers as
a wholesale riot and demonstration staged
by the entire student body. Did this cause
any favorable comment to be made con­cerning
Alabama students?
A rally of high spirited college men is
an inspiring sight, but when the same col­lege
men forget to realize that there is a
limit to everything, then they lose control
of themselves, and a spirit of hoodlumism
reigns. The wrong kind of a demonstra­tion
is degrading to students, but it is more
degrading to an institution, as critics will
point a steadier finger to a school's faults
than they will to its accomplishments.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in
this column are not necessarily the editorial
opinions of this paper. It is a column of personal
comment, and is not to be read as an expression
of our editorial policy.
A retired columnist visited Auburn last
week-end. Once a week last year he con­tributed
his knowledge to this column.
Those who wish to keep in touch with re­tired
columnists will be interested in know­ing
that he is now following the teaching
profession. His talents are being wasted
in Brewton this year.

I am willing to hand it to the female
sex when it comes to dressing sensibly. In
the summer their scanty clothing weighs
about three and one-half pounds. Men's
shoes weigh more than that. Yet we men
cling to our coats the year around. Women
have even cast aside their methods of har­nessing
themselves in. By doing this they
have made themselves more subjected to the
air and sunlight. Sunshine is one of the
most important things that bring out
health. They have ignored conventionalities
by shedding most of their clothing. In
Buenas Aries it was made a rule in the
capital that men could not enter the capital
without coats. When the heat became al­most
unbearable with coats on the men
came to the capital in pajama coats. I will
be glad to see the day when men realize
how much less clothing is necessary.
The Dean of women still thinks she can
be right about some things. Just like a
woman. They always think they know
something.
It must be all right for columnists to
lecture about Co-eds in their daily columns.
They seem to be very glad that they even
get mentioned. I overheard several Co-eds
the other day talking about the columnist
on this page. Of course they would not
say that they liked the remarks that were
made about them but one could tell how
much under the skin they enjoyed being dis­cussed.
They went so far as to say that
they wished the fellows around here would
invite more out of town girls to fraternity
dances. Meaning, of course, that they were
inviting competition. Do they think we
would put it on a competitive basis. Never­theless,
Co-eds, at times I'm for you and
at times I'm against you.
How a Co-ed may become popular:
Going out for football.
Necking someone that will tell.
Wearing corsets backwards.
Increasing your magnetism.
Spitting in the post office while chew­ing
tobacco.
Going barefooted.

In this age of acute sensibility, much
is said concerning atmospheres. Auburn
has such an intangible environment which
is peculiar to the campus, radiating hy­pocrisy
and mechanicalism, but is astound-ingly
fascinating. Our leaders strut with
consistency, the press is saturated with
gull-deception and our social affairs make a
noble effort at false appearance. The
directors of such activities revel in
pretentiousness, and follow the base rea­soning
of restricting attendance at our
dances rather than facing the facts or mak­ing
any effort at meeting common and
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
Being hopeful in
spite of misfortune
seems to be one of the
qualities which is re­quired
here at Au­burn.
Certainly we
have to exercise this
quality overtime. It
was a terrible misfor­tune
for Bush to be
taken ill with the
mumps, but, mumps or no mumps, we have
got to carry on hopefully, courageously,
manfully, all of which ought to make us
think of next year and how important it is
for this bunch of freshmen to come on
through and finish their qualifications for
the team.

The prospect of a hotel at Auburn is be­ing
considered with a great deal of inter­est
on the part of some,of our leading citi­zens.
I know of no enterprise which, if
properly handled, would lend itself more to
making Auburn what it ought to be than a
first-class hotel. Such a hotel does not
need to be large but ought to be so built
that the size could be increased as business
warrants. It ought to be constructed in
a most up-to-date manner and be a high­ly
reputable, fine institution. It should
have, in addition to a main dining room
which might be used on occasions for large
banquets, smaller diniing rooms. It could
easily be the headquarters' for the Rotary,
Kiwanis, Lions and Business and Profes­sional
Women's Clubs and many other or­ganizations
in Auburn. It would be of
great use to honor societies, fraternities
and other groups in the institution. Its
business in the way of luncheons and en­tertainments
would be far in excess of any
hotel savevpossibly those in the largest ci­ties
in Alabama. If it was the right kind
of a hotel it ought to attract a lot of people
who would come here to see the institution,
to visit sons and daughters in college, to
consult with men connected with the insti­tution
and it could easily be the center of
a large amount of activities radiating from
here to other places not so fortunate as
to have such a hotel. If conducted upon
a high plane it could be a very important
link in the social end entertainment part
of the life of Auburn, as well as a means
of entertaining the visitors who are com­ing
in . in increasing numbers. It would
make it possible for Auburn to be a "Con­vention"
town. Here's hoping the project
may come through.

An average of a trifle over two hund­red
students are absent from at least one
class and generally from more than one
every week. This means approximately 14
per cent or 15 percent of the student body.
From 10 p'er cent to as high as 40 per cent
of these absences are excused absences and
the rest are straight out "cuts". We are
watching it very closely. I am happy to
say that the number of unexcused absences
have been on the decline since the first
two weeks of school and the total number
of absences, excused and unexcused, de­creased
33% per cent since the last week
in September. This is a good showing but
it is still too large. Attention to duty and
the ability to face the music and perform
the task, that neds to be performed are
necessary if we are to get an education.

Eleven hundred and twenty-six students
are registered for Military this year. In
History, 1006; in English, 982; in Mathe­matics,
810, and Chemistry 746. By this I
mean that individual students from various
divisions of the institution are registered
for one or more courses in the departments
named. These are the high registering
ones. The summary of the whole institut­i
o n shows a healthy load of work.

One of the best things for a student to
think about is: "What are you going to be
when you get to be forty years of age?"
The answer to that question depends large­ly
upon your education. The uneducated
man who depends upon physical labor has
passed his zenith at that time of life, while
to the man who is prepared for a real
job through a college education, the best
years of his life lie ahead of him when he
is forty years of age. If you can develop
the tenacity to hold on and see your college
course through that same characteric will
be of great value to you wherever you may
be or whatever you may attempt to do.

am also a hypocrite. The only neutraliz­ing
influence is that after a short time
we become endowed with a happy faculty

Thanks Haakon! A budding fellow grip­er
(base adjective is used to connote a

whose speculations can be fathomed by
everyone. If the rising Provost is seek­ing
recesses of contemporary thought to
penetrate with his analytical cranium, I
would suggest Cal Coolidge, Tom Heflin,
Chic Sale, and the Dean of Women.
We suggest that the Tiger Sandwich Shop put out a "club" sandwich consist­ing
of a layer of onion, a layer of Vicks salve, and a thick layer of castor oil, to
fight the colds on the campus.

Members of an Oglethorpe Fraternity are
producing a co-ed record chart. The pur­pose
of this is to permit the boys to be­come
acquainted with the names, qualities,
and habits of the feminine students without
the necessity of interviewing each individ­ual
separately. After an evening spent
with a maiden, whose name has not been
previously recorded, the young gentleman
is expected to make note of her age, weight,
height, appearance, features, habits and—.
There is also a column headed, "Peculiar
Characteristics." Under this heading will
be found the following phrases: "Will not
take a drink, and must be in at ten-thirty."
The foremost statement causes one to won­der,
"Is a girl, who will not take a drink,
peculiar?" Why not place dictaphones in
Ag Bottom for recordings on our co-eds,
and thus eliminate the individual inter­views?

ON THE OTHER HAND
Way down in Mississippi A. & M. way
we receive news of a popularity contest
to be sponsored by the student paper. The
paper will sponsor the contest to select the
outstanding men on the A. and M. Campus
to insure its being authenic and not far-cial
as has been the case in the past.
The Editor will select fifteen men to act
as a nominating committee to select a group
of five contenders for each title and these
five will be voted on by the entire student
body in secret ballot, the man getting the
highest number of votes winning. The
names of the nominating committee will be
known only to the Editor and will never be
divulged by him or the committee to the
student body. There is certainty that this
method will prove very effective and fair.
It will at least get the Editor nominated,
whether he is elected or not. After all that
is really the purpose of appointing a nom­inating
committee. But why a popularity
contest? Only the best political machine
wins, only the already too conceited out­standing
young man wins. What honor is
left to the winner? Such contests only
adds a few more pounds of steam, which
will have to be blown off, and a few more
inches to the chesty chest.

William Grinus, Jr., of Orient, Illinois,
has the distinction of being the second first

GOING TOO FAR
Shooting practice on the rifle range has
been ordered for the girls of Sophie New-comb
College, of New Orleans. This is
evidently an advance step in practical edu­cation.
Soon it will be pistol practice with
synthetic men for targets and no longer will
tabloid newspapers herald in large type

Kills Mate." The percentage of "shot-gun
weddings" will more than likely drop off
also.

HIRSUTENESS
The number of beards and mustaches in
the first stages of growth is increasing
with alarming rapidity on the Oglethorpe
campus. If the ravages of this uncouth
pestilence are not checked at once, we
tremble at the hirsute consequences. Scouts
from the House of David will be recruiting
some of the most prominent men on the
campus.
It has been said that the most efficient
method of eradicating plague is a study
of its causes. It is a mystery why attrac­tive
young men should desire to camo-lage
their countenances with adornments which
resemble nothing so much as a field of
corn stubble after the gleaners have com­pleted
their activities.
It is strongly suspected by the authori­ties
that responsibility for the tonsorial
epidemic may be traced to a new addition
to the Modern Language Department who
has wreaked havoc in the ranks of the
female students of the institution. A re­vival
of the old Samson and Delilah theiry
is also suspected.
Thowing at least a glimmer of light on
the subject is a recent article in the New
York Times in which the authoress stated
that "kissing a man without a moustache
is like eating peaches without cream."
That is something to think about after
our co-ed chart is completed or our dic­taphones

FRESHMEN SUMMER SCHOOL
During the past summer, the Altoona
branch of the Pennsylvania State College
here opened an unusual trial summer school
for prospective freshmen.
Here, for six weeks, freshmen tried their
wits at college subjects. Those who suc­ceeded
gained advanced college credits.
Many of those who failed saw their unfit­ness
for college work, and went to work.
It is expected that the number of men and
women who will drop out of the college at
the end of the first semester will be re­duced
greatly as a result.

ONCE again the victorious rooster of
of Democracy proudly ascends his
traditional perch of state and crows
his triumphal lays. Another time have the
disgruntled schismatics sought to break the
party of the South, and another time have
they failed. The outcome of the election
is just another example of the undeviating
operation of the old law of retribution, "to
him that doeth, it shall be done".
Heflin forsook the Democratic party in
1928; he was forsaken by that party in
1930. Of what can he have grounds to
complain?

At present the only foreign languages
offered at Auburn are French, German,
Spanish, and Italian. It strikes me as some­what
strange that Latin and Greek have
no place in our curricula. These two lang­uages
are the bases of our own tongue,
yet we care so little for them that they
are not in demand, even by students of lit­erature
and the liberal arts. The whole
modern school of thought condemns, to a
certain extent, the classic England.of the
seventeenth century, yet, some of the finest
masterpieces of literature were produced
then. During this time no man was edu­cated
unless he had a liberal knowledge
of Latin and Greek. Every school boy had
to learn to compose verses in the ancient
tongues. The scholars of this age were
really scholars. Compare, if you will, Gold­smith
or Addison with the modern philoso­pher,
Bertram Russel. To the student of
advanced English or of modern foreign
languages a knowledge of one of the an­cient
languages is indispensable. However,
there are very few real students of litera­ture
at Auburn, but it seems a crime that
those few should be denied the opportuni­ty
of studying the classics of ancient Rome
and Greece in the original just because the
technical students consider all learning in
the line as useless "bunk". German is
kept at Auburn primarily that the chemi­cal
engineers might read the works of great­er
Teutonic scientists; French classes are
largely made up of architects who can't
distinguish the past definite from second
base. It is true that there is no demand
for Greek and Latin; I made earnest ef­forts
this fall to enroll in a course in Greek
grammar, but it seemed that I was the
only one who was "fool enough to fill my
head with that crap" (as I have heard it
expressed by a revered mechanical engi­neer).
The Department of Modern Foreign
languages is equipped with a staff in every
way prepared to teach either Latin or
Greek, and I can not help but believe that
there are other students beside myself who
have contemplated courses in these lang­uages.
And what can be done about it?
What will be done about it? Absolutely
nothing. Students of literature will con­tinue
to read with the veil of ignorance
surrounding them. They will come across
names like Bacchus, Hymen, Agamemon,
Electra, Menaleus, Hector, and thousands
of others that are used diuturnally in both
classic and in modern literature; what will
they know of these characters? They will
just wonder and let it drop, losing a very
vital part of the meaning of fhe work they
are perusing. The academic student will
wear out his dictionary looking up such
words as iconclastic, anthropmorphic, phil­ology,
and numerous others descending from
the Greek. The physicist tells us that we
are animals; let us then submit to our fate,
living as automata, and finally dying of
brainstorms in a maze of acid fumes and
differential equations.

Scrimmaging By Moonlight; Tigers
Prepare For Struggle With Tulane
By Elmer G. Salter
"Scrimmaging by the Moonlight" is
the title of the new ballad now be­ing
composed by the Auburn Tiger
footballers as they prepare on Drake
Field for their game Saturday with
the Southern Conference champions,
Tulane.
In the initial rough work of the
week, two varsity teams were .sent
against a like number of frosh elev­ens,
who are working hard this week
for their final game of the season, a
tilt with the Baby Billow from Tu­lane
in the Crescent City Saturday
morning.
Coach Wynne had his duet of teams
on the offensive until darkness had
enveloped Drake Field. The tentative
first eleven had several new faces,
who probably will start against the
Greenies in New Orleans Saturday
if they continue to carry out the
coaches instructions better than the
players who opened against Wofford.
The probable starters against Tu­lane
were minus two players, Capt.
Dunham Harkins, and James Bush,
on account of being listed on the ail­ing
list. Harkins was injured last
Saturday, but is expected to be able
to play against the champions, while
Bush is out for the year with mumps.
The pivot post was taken care of by
Ralph Jordan and Donald Jone^ fill­ed
Bush's former berth at right
guard.
The remainder of the first-string­ers
lined up with Grant at left end;
Arthur at left tackle; Burt at left
Three Minutes in 1928
Tech Game Cost Notre
Dame Star Year's Play
Chicago, Nov. 5.—If some one could
conveniently erase from Knute Rock-ne's
memory just three minutes of a
particular bustle between Notre
Dame and Georgia Tech in 1928 he
undoubtedly would be happly to sup­ply
this individual with a bushel bas­ket
of tickets on the 50-yard line for
the Notre Dame-Army game.
Here's the reason:
In that particular contest (Tech
whacked the Rocks, 13 to 0) Joe Sa-voldi
played at fullback, three min­utes.
And that was all the time he
played all the season of 1928. But
just the same it counts as a year of
competition, so Jumpin* Joseph will
play no more football at Notre Dame
after this season.
If you ask Rockne about this par­ticular
game he will politely refrain
from speaking. You see, it's a sore
spot and one that he never fails to
think about when he sees the people's
choice rummaging an opposing lino
these Saturdays for anywhere from
5 to 50 yards.
Savoldi at the time was rather a
green lug. He could run whenever
he was able to hold the ball, but the
dash he flashes today was missing. He
was a flop on defense and probably
did more harm than good while in
the lineup.
Joseph had come drown from Thr'js
Oaks, Mich., in 1927, heralded as a
great all-around star. He could clip
the 100 in 10 seconds and things like
that, but Rockne couldn't adapt him
to the Notre Dame style of football.
In the Georgia Tech game Rockne
found himself without a fullback so
he gave Savoldi a chance. Joe fumbl­ed
the first time he got his hands on
the ball and Georgia Tech recovered.
From that time on it was Tech's ball
game, because the "Rambling Wrecks"
went right on to score a touchdown.
Jumpin' Joe went back to the re­serves
to serve his apprenticeship and
nothing more was heard of him until
the Wisconsin game of last season.
From that time on Savoldi has been
one piece of bad news for all of Notre
Dame's opponents.
guard; Prim at right tackle; Egge
at right end; Parker calling signals;
Pate at left half; Hitchcock at right
half, and Brown at the line-plunging
post.
On several occasions Brown and
Hitchcock easily got out into the sec­ondary
when their forward wall
mates "strutted their stuff." Pate
was also throwing some effective pass­es,
while Parker's blocking drew
praise from Wynne more than once.
He frequently blocked a 200-pounder
out of a play by hitting him with his
anatomy like Coaches Kiley and Mc-
Faden have taught him to. Parker
is expected to be a much better field
general the rest of his career in an
Orange and Blue uniform since re­gaining
confidence in himself (which
he lost after the Birmingham-South­ern
game) by his wonderful playing
against Wofford. He has proven
that he is a brainy quarterback.
The other eleven that was battling
another crew of freshmen at the
North end of the field was; Mason
and Senn, ends; Miller and Taylor,
tackles; Simpkins and Schlich,
guards; Johnson, center; Davidson,
quarterback; Phipps and Creighton,
halfbacks, and Shackleford, fullback.
Creighton, Shackleford and Davidson
did most of the pigskin advancing for
this team. Davidson and Shackle­ford
swapped places with Parker and
Brown before the strenuous workout
was brought to a close.
In an effort to strengthen the
guard department since the loss of
Bush, Ernest Molphus has been
switched from tackle to guard. Mol­phus
was doing good work at the
tackle post, and if he can acclimate
himself to a new situation quickly,
the loss of Bush might not be felt
quite so hard as it is now. Bush was
the best defensive lineman on the
squad, and was the second regular
guard to be taken from the team.
Commodore Wood had to be operated
upon for appendicitis.
Lindley Hatfield, who has been
nursing injuries since the Georgia
Tech game, has not been used in any
rough work this week, but probably
will be able to see service against
Bernie Bierman's outstanding club.
Trainer Wilbur Hutsell had him run­ning
around the field and he looked
okeh.

Statistics Reveal
J 0. Bust/
By Elmer G. Salter
The second serious blow of the sea­son
to the guard department on Au­burn's
1930 football team was receiv­ed
as the Tigers were trying to feel
good over the showing they made
against Wofford. James Bush, who
started at right guard against Wof­ford
and the best defensive lineman
-,ri the squad, is out for the season
with a case of mumps.
The loss of Bush is the third
knockout recorded by Dame Jinx in
the Tigers' lair this year. Will Bas-sett,
halfback, received a broken leg,
and Commodore Wood, regular guard,
'ir>d to have an operation for appen-ii?
itis. Wood and Bassett have just
left the hospital in Opelika to rest
up at their homes before resuming
class work.
Bush complained of a swollen gland
Friday, but the swelling decreased
and Coach Wynne started him against
Wofford because it was thought that
he did not have the mumps. Although
handicapped with swollen glands,
Bush turned in a great game against
the Terriers.
On top of feeling blue over the loss
of Bush, Coach Roger J. Kiley brings
back news from New Orleans con­cerning
Tulane, whom the Tigers meet
in New Orleans Saturday, that it is
the best offensive team that he has
seen this year, including Georgia, and
that they have a great and powerful
line. Regarding their line was not
news since their 1929 forward wall
remained intact except for a lone
member, but it was not expected the
GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE
By ADRIAN TAYLOR
Probably the most surprising game
of last Saturday, to football followers
of the South, was the 0-0 tie between
the Florida Gators and the Georgia
Bulldogs.
Florida has played rather erratic
football during the year, but was in
tip-top form against Georgia. After
being held to a close 7-0 game by the
Auburn Tigers, the Gators invaded
the North to overwhelmingly defeat
the Chicago Maroons. Then they re­turned
South to lose a close game to
Furman, and on the following Satur­day
tied the strong Bulldog aggre­gation.
The feature of the game was
Florida's all-round defensive play.
For four downs, the Gator line stop-ped
the powerful Ripper Roberts on
their own one yard line, and several
times they rose on their haunches to
stop the fast Georgia backs. Ed Sauls
proved to the many spectators that
football is not a game of brawn but
of brains. The brilliant Sauls fum­bled
a bad pass from center while
attempting to punt from behind his
own goal line, and instead of allowing
himself to be thrown for a safety, he
threw the ball into the field' of play.
On the next play, he punted the ball
beautifully out of danger.
For the first time this year, Ala­bama
opened her offensive attack to
overwhelm the Kentucky Wildcats, 19
to 0.
The powerful Bama line stopped the
illustrious Shipwreck. Kelly at the
line of scrimmage, and with the ex­ception
of Tom Phipps, fullback, the
running attack of Kentucky was gen­erally
ineffective.
The Crimson Tide seems *' be head­ed
for another conference champion­ship,
as the have bowled over Tenn­essee,
Vanderbilt and Kentucky on
successive Saturdays, however,* they
still have three barriers to hurdle,
namely, Florida, L. S. U. and Georgia.
* * * * *
After being defeated by Alabama,
the Tennessee Vols defeated the
strong Clemson team, 27-0. Bobby
Dodd was especially effective with his
passes.
* * * * *
The following are favorites to win
Saturday:
Alabama 13—Florida 0.
Auburn 7—Tulane 6.
Vandy 20—Ga. Tech 6.
U. of N. C. 14—N. C. State 0.
Kentucky 20—Duke 6.
Georgia 13—N. Y. U. 6.
Furman 19—S. Carolina 12.
L. S. U. 20—U. of Miss. 7.

By Elmer G. Salter
Not only did the 28 to 6 score show
Auburn's superiority over Wofford
last Saturday, but a glance at the
statictics shows how completely the
Terriers were outclassed.
Auburn made thirteen first downs
in gaining 411 yards against three
first downs and 102 yards for the
Spartanburg eleven. Three passes
were completed by the Tigers in thir­teen
tries for a gain of 73 yards, while
Wofford made only one aerial heave
good in 17 attempts, which netted 30
yards. The Plainsmen also had a
slight advantage in punting as they
averaged 29.5 yards in eight kicks,
while Fox had four punts blocked and
averaged 25 yards.
The longest run of the game was
made by Jimmie Hitchcock, who
scored 25 points during the twenty-five
minutes that he was in the game.
Hitchcock intercepted a Wofford pass
and ran 75 yards across the goal line.
He also made another touchdown run
of 42 yards.
Ike Parker, Plainsman signal caller;
counted six points on a -55 yard jaunt
around end, while Wofford's longest
run was made by Alexander when he
intercepted a pass and galloped 50
yards before being caught from the
rear by Lee Johnson, Capt. Dunham
Harkins capable understudy at cen­ter.
Sophomore End
Plainsmen Reach
New Scoring Mark
Auburn's 38 to 6 triumph over Wof­ford
was the first time since early
October in 1926 that she won so de­cisively
from an opponent. In their
first conference game in 1926, the
Tigers ran roughshod over Clemson,
easily winning, 47 to 0.
Since the last victory over Clem­son,
the Plainsmen scored 33 points
against Howard the same year, but
allowed the Bulldogs to cross their
goal twice. The other lone decisive
victory for the Tigers was also
against Howard when they won, 25
to 6.
The Orange and Blue eleven has
made creditable showings in a few
games since their last record year in
1926, but scoring six touchdowns
against the Spartanburg school stands
out as their major accomplishment
since winning their last conference
victory.
Four Hard Games Still Remain on
Auburn's Schedule for This Season
The athlete pictured above is Cary
Senn, end on Coach Wynne's_ varsity
squadd. Senn is a Sophomore, and
has played well in all of Auburn's
struggles on the gridiron. He will
be ready to give the Tulane Greenies
trouble in their drive for champion­ship
honors.
Tigers Score in Most
Games of This Season
Senns Playing Wins
Him Place On Team
The fine playing of Cary "Shot"
Senn, Auburn end, in the Wofford
game, has probably cinched him a
regular berth if he continues to im­prove.
Senn was starting his first
varsity game, but took care of the
right terminal post in excellent fash­ion.
His previous varsity experience
was a few minutes in the opening
game against Birmingham-Southern.
Senn has shown promise all season,
but with Porter Grant playing bril-
Greenies would be quite so strong ad­vancing
the pigskin since they lost
their first-string backfield.
The opening woi-kout of the week
on Drake Field was light. The first
part of the afternoon was given over
to a critique of the Wofford
game, and then the backs were giv­en
a stiff drill in breaking up passes,
while the linemen were given funda­mental
work under Coaches McFad-den
and Kiley.
The offensive showing of the Plains­men
against Wofford was better than
usual, but the line failed to tackle,
like they have at other times t;his
season, so much work will be given
the linemen this week.
In the six games played by-Auburn
this season, the Tigers have scored in
every encounter except the ones with
Birmingham-Southern and Florida.
Touchdowns have been made against
Spring Hill, Georgia Tech, Georgia,
and Wofford.
Scoring in every game might not
be considered a record by some elevens,
but when you consider that the Plains­men
have crossed the final white line
only 16 times in the thirty games that
they have played since their last con­ference
victory, the eleven touchdowns
made in six engagements by Chet
Wynne's 1930 team is quite a feat.
Jimmie Hitchcock, brilliant sopho­more
halfback, .leads the Bengals in
making six pointers with an even
half-dozen. Tom Brown, another first-year
varsity performer, ranks second
with Ike Parker, Porter Grant and
Felix Creighton following behind with
one each.
The largest number of' counters
scored by the Orange and Blue team
this year was against Wofford last
Saturday, incidentally it was the larg­est
number of points made by the
Villagers since winning from Clemson
in 1926, 47 to 0.
Hitchcock had a field day against
Wofford, annexing 25 points in 25
minutes, and probably would have
scored additional points along with
other varsity players if they had been
allowed to play more than a little over
a quarter. Wynne was saving them
for future games.
A dependable kicker from placement
has not been found among the Tigers
yet, as the record in trying for the
extra point is four in eleven tries.
Not posessing a place-kicker deluxe
cost Auburn at least a tie with Geor­gia
Tech, who won by staging a sec­ond-
half comeback, 14 to 12.
By Elmer G. Salter
Tulane, the 1929 Southern Confer­ence
champions, Mississippi A. & M.,
the up and coming team, coached by-
Chris Cagle; Vanderbilt, styi one of
the best in Dixie, and South Carolina,
coached by the crafty Billy Laval and
whose record already this season is
five wins and one loss, are the teams
that the Auburn Tigers see staring
them in the face when they glance at
their schedule.
All are members of the Southern
Conference and will be encountered by
Chet Wynne's practically sophomore
eleven in the order named on foreign
gridirons. The Greenies will be play­ed
in New Orleans, November 8;
Chris Cagle's team in Birmingham,
November 15; Vandy in Nashville,
November 22, and South Carolina in
Columbus, Thanksgiving, November
27.
The trip to New Orleans will also
be made by the freshman team as they
bring to a close a highly successful
season meeting the Baby Green Wave
from Tulane in the morning of the
varsity conflict. The Cub-Billow
game is expected to be one of the
leading frosh classics to be played in
Dixie this year because both elevens
are boasting of a large number of
players who are going to be leading
contenders for varsity berths in 1931.
When the Plainsmen tackle the
Greenies in the Crescent City, they
will be meeting a foe that ranks along
with Georgia and Alabama as one
of the outstanding football teams in
the country. This year's eleven re­turned
their 1929 front almost intact
and have a galaxy of ball carriers who
are making Dixie football enthusiasts
forget Billy Banker and Ike Arm­strong.
Bernie Bierman's 1930 back-field
is not as outstanding as the one
on his championship team, but they
are better rounded. This is really
better than having one or two indi­vidual
stars. Glover, Massey, Felts,
and Zimmerman have already made
names for themselves in advancing the
pigskin for lengthy gains.
Auburn was defeated by the
Greenies last season in New Orleans,
50 to 0, but are expected to make a
much better showing this year. It is
true that Tulane is as strong if not
stronger, as they were when they
"copped" the pennant, but the Plains­men
have improved a good deal under
the able tutoring of Coaches Chet
Wynne, Roger Kiley and Earl Mc-
Faden.
The battle of centers is looked for
when Capt. Dunham Harkins meets
Capt. Lloyd Roberts. Both, were se­lected
as two of the outstanding snap­pers-
back below the Mason-Dixon line
in 1929, and have already made ex­perts
take notice of their work this
season by their brilliant work. The
one that outplays the other in this
game is practically sure of an all-
Southern berth because there are only
about a half-dozen players in the S.C.
starring at the pivot post this year.
Roberts was chosen on the mythical
eleven last year but Harkins work
in the charity game in Atlanta, New
Year's Day, stamped him as a su­preme
being in the middle of the line.
The classic in the Crescent City will
be the fourth conference tilt for the
Plainsmen and the third for the cham­pions.
Auburn has played Florida,
Georgia Tech, and Georgia in confer­ence
engegements, while Tulane has
met Georgia Tech and Mississippi A.
& M.
Dr. Knapp Praises
Runs by Hitchcock
Dr. Bradford Knapp, president of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
who was a great football player at
Vanderbilt during his college career,
believes that the two touchdown runs
of 75 and 42 yards by Jimmie Hitch­cock,
Chet Wynne's outstanding soph­omore
halfback, against Wofford, were
two of the prettiest runs that he has
ever seen, and Dr. Knapp has been
watching football for a little over
three decades.
The 42-yard trip made by Hitchcock
was probably the prettiest because he
had to revolve out of five would-be
tacklers hands, but the run of three-fourths
of the distance of the grid­iron
was not very far behind. In the
first, the line opened up a hole over
tackle, he shot into the secondary, and
then was unstoppable.
The latter run was made when he
jumped high into the air and grabbed
a Wofford pass and outdistanced
every Terrier who looked like they
might overtake him. He shifted into
high gear and then showed a fleet
pair of heels to the Wofford players.

liantly at right end, he had to serve
the Plainsmen in a substitute's role.
The Auburn mentors realized that the
Tigers were weak at left end, so Grant
was shifted to this post and Senn
inserted into the regular lineup. Now
two capable flankmen start for Au­burn.

FOOTBALL, BEDS IN
NEW COLLEGE HUMOR
Land of Milk and Honey Is
Realized by Homeless Cats
When Adopted by A Janitor
"It may come as something of a
shock to modern devotees of the grid
iron sport," reveals Corey Ford in the
December College Humor in his rem­iniscences,
And That's How I Met
Your Grandmother, "to learn that in
my time football was played on bi­cycles.
The entire team would line
up along the tape on their high-wheeled
'bikes' and at^the referee's
whistle they would pedal down the
field like mad, the thumb-pieces of
the bicycle bells clanging briskly and
their auburn side-burns floating be­hind
them on the breeze as they rac­ed
toward the goal.
"An innnovation which proved high­ly
successful was the passing of the
famous rule in 1869 that a man who
made a touchdown was allowed to
keep the ball as a souvenir. Inas­much
as leather was extremely val­uable,
owing to the high protective
tariff, we found that this rule prac­tically
did away with the fumble en­tirely.
Once a man had the ball in
my day, he kept it. On the other
hand, it handicapped our forward
passing considerably, inasmuch as the
first action of a player upon catching
the ball in his arms would be to de­flate
it, tuck it under his jersey, walk
off the field, go back to his room,
pack his suitcase, .buy a ticket to the
big city and set up in the leather
business for himself. It was in this
manner that Otto H. Kahif'got his
start.
"But the most interesting custom in
the good old days was the rule which
we adopted regarding spectators. To­day
the spectator at a football game
merely sits in the stands and calls
A paradise of hambudger, cream,
and mice for homeless cats and an
employment agency for good ratters
temporarily out of work has been
maintained for eight years in the mid
die of Chicago's roaring traffic, sur­rounded
by skyscrapers high enough
to make a cat giddy.
In the window of a vacant store
at Wacker drive and Washington
street eight fat, sleek cats are' seen
daily sitting in a contented row. They
are the well-provided-for wards of
out advice to the teams, such as 'Try
a forward!' or^'Take it through the
line!' or 'Kill that man!' but in my
day they actually went out there and
did these things.
Groucho Marx, in discussing Beds,
in the December College Humor has
this to say: "I have found that I can
be put to sleep by (1) a fifth cock­tail;
(b) a Mickey Finn, which is
known in the night clubs as a Mickey

Board for the cats daily requires
75 cents of Fuller's salary, and it
goes to buy milk for the kittens and
hamburger for the cats with plenty
of salmon on Sundays.
"When I die," said Happy, "I hope
they bury me over the Northwestern
tracks. That's where I've buried the
little cats that died these last eight
years."
Happy believes he has raised a hun­dred
cats during the years he has
maintained his asylum for feline way­farers.
For some of them, chiefly
the best ratters, he has found other
homes where their talents may be of
use.
"I've given the new opera build­ing
two fine ratters, and I have giv­en
the telephone company a dozen for
their building. I stay up all night
the nights the kittens come, but I
can't help much."
Happy makes his home in the build­ing
with the cats. He has trained
them not to molest the things in his
room.
".You can teach cats just like chil­dren,"
he contends. "All these cats
know their name, and they all ramble

Dick, a 20-pound, eight-year-old,
jumped to his shoulder.
"Teddie, Cockie, Nellie, Tommie

Obediently all the cats responded

with an elaborate trapeze of rubber
rings and balls.
"I don't know what ails that kit­ten,"
Happy complained. "She won't

"I got to liking cats during the

was a cat with our outfit, and it was
my job to feed her. She used to go
into battle as brave as any soldier.
People can learn a lot from cats."
Happy is inclined to believe in re­incarnation,
contending that many
cats have bigger and more generous
souls than people.
"Maybe in the next world we'll all

Journal Runs Story of
First Football Game
The magazine section of the Atlan­ta
Journal of October 26 carried an
illustrated story entitled "Georgia's
First Football Game" written by El­mer
G. Salter. The same story was
printed recently in the Plainsman but
the illustration in the Journal gave
it a different appearance.
It relates the fact that the South's
first football game was played in At­lanta
in Piedmont Park on February
20, 1892, with the University of Geor­gia
on one side and Auburn on the
other.
Dr. George Petrie coached the Au­burn
Tigers and Dr. Charles Hefty
coached the Georgia team. It hap­pens
that both of these men are now
burn Tigers, and Dr. Charles Herty
connection was made recently, he serv­ing
as consulting chemist.
The story is interesting and in­structive.
It is a distinct compliment
to Mr. Salter.

Mr. Roy Moore, of the U. S. Bu­reau
of Biological Survey, will be in
Alabama beginning November 1 to
carry on rat control campaigns in
several counties of the State. The
work will be carried on with the co­operation
of Mr. William A. Ruffin,
who is in the Extension Service of
the Department of Entomology at
A. P. I., and with the cooperation al­so
of the county agents and voca­tional
agricultural teachers. The
work will be done in the following
counties: Wetumpka, M a r s h a l l,
Franklin and Lamar.
It is estimated that the rat destroys
approximately $200,000,000 worth of
food and material in the United States
each year. The work of destroying
the rat is a community project and
will be carried on in the counties
mentioned above as such.
Calendar With Thirteen
Months Wins Popularity
Throughout WholeWorld
Washington—(IP)—The proposed
change in the calendar to give us 13
months of 28 days each—once a uni­versity
professor's idea—is gaining
rapidly in popularity throughout the
World, according to information avail­able
here.
The Conference on Calendar Re­form,
to be held at Geneva in 1931,
is given as one evidence of this, as
well as the fact that some of this
country's most prominent industrial
leaders are members of the National
Committee on Calendar Simplification.
The 13-month plan would involve a
year of 13 months, each divided into
exactly four seven day weeks. There
would be one day in the year which
would belong to no month and to no
week, and this would be designated
"New Year's Day," and have no other
name. Obviously, it would be a holi­day.
The first of each month would fall
on Sunday, and the last of each month
on Saturday.
On leap years there would be two
New Year's Days.
Arguments in favor of the plan
are that it would simplify all business
transactions, that rents would be
equal each month, that, because all
holidays would fall on Mondays, weeks
would not be broken into by holidays,
and it would be much more difficult
to forget the day of the week on which
a given date would fall.
There is another plan afoot to keep
the months as they are, 12 in number,
but to equalize the number of days
in each month so that each quarter
year would be the same size as every
other quarter year.
This plan, however, is no where
near as popular as the 13-month pla^n.
Many agencies in the United States
already use the 13-month plan as an
auxiliary calendar.

Brothers Manage
Tiger Grid Teams
Brothers are on the managerial
staff of Auburn's two 1930 represen­tatives
on the gridiron.
Ike "Nigger" Lewis, utility on last
season's baseball teams, manager of
Coach Jack Cannon's frosh team,
while his brother, Aubrey, serves as
assistant manager for Coach Chet
Wynne's varsity squad. Aubrey also
was on Coach Fred Sheridan's 1930
baseball team, assisting in the catch­ing
department.
Breaking into the managing end of
the moleskin squads is more of an
honor for the Lewis boys, who hail
from Chapman, Ala., than one would
ordinarily realize. Heretofore, the
teams have been managed by a youth
bearing the good appellation of Smith,
but it looks like the tide has changed.
Hadden Smith was manager of the
1927 varsity team; Earl Smith serv­ed
in this capacity for the 1929 team,
and George Washington "Red" Smith,
is manager of Coach Chet Wynne's
team. Louis R. "Little Goat" Smith,
brother of Hadden, was elected assis­tant
manager in 1929, but failed to
return to school this year.
COURSE IN "SOCIAL POISE"
TO BE INAUGURATED AT
TEMPLE UNI. FOR WOMEN
Until we try we don't Jcnow what
we can do, and that's why some peo­ple
have such a good opinion of them­selves.
Philadelphia, Pa. —(IP)—A new
course of instruction to instil "social
poise" in students of Temple Univer­sity
is to be inaugurated, according
to Miss Gertrude D. Peabody, dean
of women.
Declaring that the poise, which en­ables
both men and women to feel
socially at ease is as important as
any other branch of learning, Miss
Peabody has promised to arrange ac­tivities
which will assist students in
gaining ease of manner.
"Many girls," she said, "complete
their college courses without learning
what the college life is all about. She
has outlined a definite program aimed
to place girls in their proper voca­tions
and to familiarize them with
the various phases of college activi­ties,
s
Last Friday evening at seven
o'clock the final phase of the Scab­bard
and Blade initiation of the new­ly
pledged men began on Toomer's
corner. After a rigid inspection and
strenuous drill of the pledges, both
new and old men adjourned to the
stables where they climbed aboard
the four legged beasts which were to
transport them to the camp site,
where the final touches were added
to the initiation.
Governor Graves, who became a
member of Company L of the Fifth
Regiment of Scabbard and Blade last
Spring, and Dr. Bradford Knapp, who
is also a member of this honorary
military fraternity", rode to the camp
site.
Symbol Of Friendship
Unveiled at McGill U.
Montreal, Que.—(IP)—A marble
fountain, symbolic of the friendship
of the United States for Canada, is
to be unveiled on the campus of Mc­Gill
University here Saturday, Nov.
1, with elaborate ceremonies.
The fountain, designed by Gertrude
Vanderbilt Whitney, is the gift of a
committee of good will composed of
about 100 prominent citizens of the
United States, including many college
presidents, business men, writers, and
Army and Navy officers.
Miss Ellen Ballon, a McGill grad­uate
now living in New York Oity,
originated the idea of the gift. She
is the organizer of the United States
Committee of Good Will in Canada.
After an all night adventure at
the camp grounds, the ritual was per­formed
at sunrise, with Capt. T. P.
Archer presiding.
Lt. Huggins, who has recently
been sent to Auburn, has been elect­ed
to the chapter and was initiated
Friday night with Capt. Metts, Lt.
Watts, and Lt. Gunby.
The student pledges, who were
initiated are: T. J. Amason, W. J.
Sindo, E. R. Enslen, J. C. Clarke,
Murff Hawkins, G. N. Sparrow, H. W.
Ellis, C. L. Adams, J. O. Moss, O.
W. Ivey, and R. A. Wesson.

WIFE A CHEMIST
Cincinnati, O.—(IP)—To make
every housewife a chemist, capable
of testing her own milk and food, is
the object of the Division of Chemi­cal
Education of the American Chem­ical
Society.
The organization has been making
a special investigation of the sub­ject,
and plans to formulate a study
plan for American homes.
Berlin—(IP)—Reduction of a pho­tograph
of a book page to an area of
a hundredth of a square millimeter,
and then re-enlargement of the photo­graph
to normal size, ha« been made
possible by the discovery of a practi­cally
grainless film formula by Pro­fessor
Goldberg, a German photo­graphic
chemist.
The reduction is accomplished by
photographing through an inverted
microscope on to a film with a silver
emulsion.
By the new discovery, it will be
possible to photograph at least 100
novels in full on one post card, and
then make it possible to read page
after page on a projector screen.
The invention is believed to hold,
great value for espionage agents, who
may now slip through the line with
an entire plan of battle inscribed on
a bit of paper less than a square
millimeter in size, tucked under a
fingernail or pasted to the scalp.
It is also believed to be of value in
erlanging technical photographs of
microscopic life.

BIERMAN PREPARES
FOR TIGER INVASION
New Orleans, La., Nov. 6—For the
first time since Tulane University met
Northwestern and Texas A. & M.,
Coach Bernie Bierman is doing some
pointing of the Green Wave in prep­aration
for an opponent. The game
with Auburn is causing no little con­cern
in the Tulane camps and the
return of Ted Banks, scout, who
looked over the Auburnites last Sat­urday,
has served to pep up things.
Banks saw a hard-charging line,
strong and rugged, something Au­burn
hasn't had since 1924, and he
saw three fine backs run Wofford
ragged, winning in a canter, 38 to 6.
This showing, in addition to the fact
that Auburn held Florida, 7-0, and
once had the ball on the Gator's one-foot
line, makes the Plainsmen no
setups. Too, it must be remembered
that Auburn played Georgia Tech a
close game, 14-12.
Coach Bierman looks at Auburn as
a dangerous foe. He expects his
team to be given one of their hard­est
fights of the ^season, and he is
prepping them for such a battle.
Plenty of work in defense is being
given the Greenies, while Zimmerman
and other backs are being drilled in
new plays.
One of the biggest things the Tu­lane
coach is trying to avoid is over-confidence
and the "flatness" that
otfen comes to any team after going
strong a month. It is recalled that
last year, after having swept Geor­gia,
Georgia Tech and Auburn aside
in form, Tulane had considerable
trouble beating a much-harassed
Sewanee team.
Of course, Bierman does not rate
Auburn in that category. The Tigers
had a rest game Saturday and can
be expected, to rise to heights Sat­urday
in an attempt to beat the
champions. It is for this reason that
Bierman is keying up his men to a
high pitch. He doesn't want to see

ty having the first four men to finish
in the Omicron Delta Kappa cake
race, to be run during the first part
of December.
This is another campus activity
which causes quite a stir of excite­ment
since it is a test of the Rats'
ability as track men. W. S. Myrick,
Jr., president of the council, was elect­ed
delegate to the Undergraduate In-terfraternity
Conference which meets
in New York on the Thursday, Fri­day,
and Saturday during Thanks­giving
holidays.
At this conference are gathered to­gether
men representing the inter-fraternity
councils of colleges and uni­versities
throughout the United States
for the purpose of exchanging ideas
and methods used in conducting cam­pus
activities in different parts of
the country.
A committee led by chairman Mac
Jones was appointed to prepare a reg­ular
schedule for the Freshmen pledg­es
to exchange visits for lunch with
other fraternities that are members
of the council. The day set for this
affair will probably fall on Thurs­day
of each week.

his team licked just before their
big game with Georgia.
The Tulane line will be somewhat
crippled for the Auburn game, both
Elmer McCanse, tackle, and John
Scafide, husky guard, being out with
injuries. Scafide suffered broken
cartilage in his left shoulder, while
McCanse is nursing a broken thumb.
It is doubtful whether either of them
will be ready for Auburn.
In case McCanse is not able to
take his place in the line-up Satur­day,
Coach Bierman plans to use Jer­ry
Dalrymple, candidate for all-
Southern end, at tackle with Vernon
Haynes starting at end.
Tulane's offense has been improv­ing
steadily each week and Auburn
will be forced to stop one of the
most versatile and hard-running at­tacks
in the South Saturday. With
Don Zimmerman carrying on the
way he has, the Tigers are in for a
tough afternoon. The way this lad
is playing in his sophomore year has
Tulane followers very optimistic over
his next two years. In fact, they're
already comparing him with Banker.

Wheeras, this reflects the sentiment
of all the citizens of the State and
has become the most historic day of
world-wide significance,
Whereas, it is the desire of our
citizens to observe this day not only
as a history making day but also in
memory of those who at the front
and in camp surrendered their lives
in defense of what their nation
thought right.
Now, therefore, I, Bibb Graves, as
Governor of this State of Alabama,
in behalf of all the people in the
State, and in recognition of the dis­tinguished
service of our soldiers and
sailors who returned and in reverent
•memory of those who did not return,
do hereby declare that Tuesday, No­vember
11, 1930, is a legal holiday
and I ernestly request and urge our
public schools to close on said day
for the whole day and to cooperate
with the American Legion in a prop­er
and reverent celebration of this
day.
It is rquested that at 11:00 a. m.,
our time, on that day, there be a
cessation of traffic on our streets, the
stoppage of industry whenever pos­sible
and a general observance of our
citizenship for two minutes in sil­ence
in memory of our dead and in
a petition to THE MOST HIGH for
continued peace and prosperity."

Henry Witherington, county agent
for Houston County, addressed the
Kiwanis Club at their special agri­cultural
program emphasizing the su­perior
qualities of "peanut" hams
Monday, noon. Mr. Witherington
stated that an exhaustive study made
of the consumption of meat from hogs
fed on peanuts, revealed that this
meat possessed a flavor far superior
to that of corn-fed hogs. Only preju­dices
based on past trends caused the
buying public to hesitate when buy­ing
the "peanut" pork in competition
with the "corn-fed" hogs, he contend­ed.
The market price of Alabama hogs
is now lVz cents per pound under the
Chicago market as compared with 6
cents below the northern market in
1914. This advance in the market has
come about through cooperative mar­keting,
the speaker said, and if the
public is educated to demand Alabama
"peanut" pork, the price will be rais­ed
on par with the Chicago market.'
M. L. Jackson, District Chairman of
Agriculture of the Kiwanis spoke con­cerning
the program now being
launched by the Extension Service of
the State for overcoming the prevail­ing
prejudices against the Alabama
"peanut" pork, and being supported
by the Kiwanis Club and other civic
organizations.
As concrete evidence of the superior
flavor of the "peanut" hams, a large
slice of this meat was served on each
pate at the luncheon.
A large attendance marked the
meeting, and many visitors from Bir­mingham,
Montgomery, Opelika and
Auburn were present.
