Tigers and Bulldogs
Ready for Annual Clash
Both Teams Practice
Behind Closed Doors
All Week
Both the Tiger and the Bulldog
spent the week in absolute secrecy,
preparing for their annual clash at
Driving Park Stadium in Columbus,
the thriving Muscogee County Metropolis,
on the eastern border of
the Cracker state. Never in the
istory of their eventful meetings
ave these two vicious animals been
nore carefully groomed for the
coming fray. Not in all the thirty
years of their grappling has the excitement
been more intense and it
is probable that classic's biggest
:rowd will be cheering their fa-orites
to victory.
Behind the closed gates to the
raining grounds of two ancient
iyals, each' has been endeavoring
a, formulate an attack that is ir-rJjstible
to the defensive strength
Ahe other. Each has sp nany
BEome hours trying to perfect
lew plays that will puzzle their op-
)onents and enable them to inarch
riumphantly up the field and
LCTOSS the last precious chalk line
0 victory. Both of the beloved
[earns are ready to fight to the last
nan, and until the last blast of the
whistle sounds the closing signal
n the combat.
On the eve of the struggle, the
lope shows the Bulldogs slight favorites
in that they have a decided
jdge in weight, and also an advantage
in experience. A glance over
be probable lineups indicate that
pe struggle will be one to be rem-fmbered,
regardless of who bears
pe standard of victory from the
Held, and also that as has been the
lase in their past several meetings,
HI the honor does not always go to
[he conqueror, as there is often
nuch glory to the vanquished.
\ At the pivot position, Auburn
Ull have the edge, as Lawrence
Las no superior in southern football
in his role, though Day, his adversary

ON VICTORIES WON
Georgia Slight Favorite
For Saturday—Score
Is Always Close
When the starting whistle blows
for the Tiger-Bulldog clash Saturday
it will be the twenty-seventh
meeting of the two rivals of the
gridiron. Thirty-one years ago
these two teams met in their first
combat and only five seasons
since that date have failed to find
them booked for their annual
struggle, two of these being on account
of suspension of football at
the University of Georgia during
the World War.
Each year the interest in the
classic becomes more and more
intense as a hard fought game always
results in which'the breaks
often decide. For the past seven
games, less than seven points per
game have been scored by the two
teams. and in only one instance
have both teams scored during one
of these bitterly fought contests,
while in one of them neither team
was able to annex a single point.
Of the total games played since
they met first in 1892, the Tigers
hold the edgs in number of victories
won, having grabbed off the
decision fifteen times to eight for
the Bulldogs. Three of the meetings
have resulted in scoreless affairs.
In the many years of these
battles there there has been few
times when one team had a decided
edge over the other. Auburn
succeeded in piling up forty-four
points on one occasion and twenty-
nine on another, while Georgia's
largest score against the Orange
and Blue was twenty-three to a
meaningless zero. This large score
was made in 1906 and not since

Bill Wood Elected Cheer Leader
With the coming of the big November
games, it became necessary
to hold an election to decide what
leather-lunged artist should have
the honor of leading the cheering
throng that is backing up the
Tigers. Chief among the competitors
were W. T. (Bill) Wood, Jack
Wiatt and Jack Stockleberg. When
the final count was made it was
found that the musical voiced Bill
was leading by a safe margin, and
therefore the elongated Montgomery
product will assume command
of his Batallion when Tiger meets
Bulldog Saturday.
The choice seems to be a popular
one as the new yell dispenser has
shown great ability in the tryouts,
and has already contributed some
new yells. However, he was not(
without close competition. j
Plainsmen Trounce
Benning Soldiers
OPENING DANCES
BIG SUCCESS
Opening Hops Best Ever
From All Angles
Auburn's Opening dances, which
were delayed a few weeks on account
of the Gym floor being occupied,
were held October twenty-
sixth and twenty-seventh and
seemed to gain momentum with
the delay, as they were the best
Autumn-Hops that have ever been
pulled off in this well known Village,
according to every one who
has been in attendance at the numerous
fall festivities for several
years past
Girls? Yes; scores of them! Pretty?
Yes; everyone of them! The
fairest that the fair southland produces.
And music? Good music
with plenty of kick and so everything
was just about as near a perfect
affair as could be wished for.
Especially was the Saturday night
dance an enjoyable one. After
an hour of thrills watching the
Tigers trounce the Benning Soldiers,
the spirit was just right for
terpsichorean pleasures or the
tripping of the light fantastic toe.
When the old clock in the main
building tolled the midnight hour
and the last note of the saxaphone
died away, there was a moment of
semi-sadness that the joyful moments
had flown so quickly. Realization
of bigger dances for midwinter
and the return of many
fair damsels soon banished all
forms of care and regret.
Although the admission price
was small, the enthusiastic response
brought in a Surplus of
shekels. The social committee will
use the money that was left over
for the mid-term dances, and with
this nice little nest egg laid away,
it is probable that they will get the
best music that can be had for the
next occasion.
Infantrymen Put Up Stiff
Fight, But Are No
Match For Tiger
The Tiger of the Plains seemed to
find himself last Saturday and ran
rough shod over the Benning Soldiers
to a tune of 34 to 0.
Every man on the team seemed to
be on his toes at all times and the
invaders were outclassed in all departments
of the game. The spectators
that surrounded Drake, field
were given a beautiful exhibition
of team work and the old Auburn
fighting spirit.
The Soldiers fought bravely, but
seemed not to be in condition for
such a game, as numerous timeouts
were called. The hot steamy
weather began to tell on the Benning
team, and it was very plain
that the soldiers were completely
worn out at the beginning of the
second half. The Auburnites at
time showed any signs of
ing but seemed to get stroqpr
the game progressed.
The Tiger followers were greatly
encouraged over the showing made
by their team and the believers
that Auburn was going to have a
weak team this year were thoroughly
convinced that they were
in the dark. The team starred
both offensively and defensively
and played in mid-season form.
It would be hard to pick a single
Tiger who did not perform in a
stellar role. The linemen turned
everything the Soldiers had to offer
back in the other direction.
Pruitt, Reagan, Lawrence and Brice
stopped play after play hurled at
the forward wall. Bo Self worked
like a Trojan while Spinks smeared
more than his share of the Benning
attempts with the ball. Even Rox
and Market, who had only had the
pleasure of being in for a few moments,
succeeded in getting
through and spilling a few plays
before they got started.
If asked to pick the leading lum-

FRESHMEN RULES
ADOPTED TUESDAY
At their meeting on Tuesday afternoon,
the Executive Council
adopted the Rules for Freshmen
which were recommended and
submitted to them by the committees
appointed by the three upper
classes. These rules will go into
effect on Wednesday, November
7th.
For some time hazing has been
forbidden in the institution, and
the need was felt for some code
of rules which would fix the standing
of the "Rats." Acting on this
need, the three upper classes appointed
committees to meet as a
whole and draw up certain rules
and regulations to govern the actions
of freshmen. Careful consideration
was given these regulations
and a code was worked out which
proved acceptable to the Executive
Council.
The rules, as recommended and
adopted, are as follows:
1. Freshmen shall wear no hats
(Continued on Page 0)
Right: John Fletcher, Georgia's all-southern
back, who is considered the Red
and Black's "Big Gun" and upon whom
they will depend for much of their offensive
strength.
Bottom: Captain Joe Bennett, AH-sou'th-ern
tackle, who is the defensive star of the
team, and who will lead his Bulldogs in
the great battle.

AUBURN VS. GEORGIA
Auburn and Georgia celebrated
the four hundredth anniversary of
the discovery of America by engaging
in the first football game
between the two institutions back
in 1892. Since that time many
moons have rolled around and the
classic has been continued with
slight intermission each year. Now
one has been the victor and now
the other; but in all the years that
have elapsed since that memorable
day, the student bodies of the two
schools have professed their fondness
for each other. After the
game, no matter who won, the
common cry of the two schools
was, "Auburn-Georgia, neck and
neck; On to Atlanta, to hell with
Georgia Tech."
Furthermore, no rumor of foul
play on the gridiron has aroused
the animosity of the two student
bodies. Always there has been the
best of spirit shown between the
two schools to the mutual advantage
of both.
Of late years, however, there has
been a slight tendency on the part
of the students of both institutions
to fight after the game. This has
by no means been general, but has
nevertheless shown the way a rift
between the two schools may be
developed in the future. This
chasm would be dangerous to foster,
for Georgia's influence in Auburn's
behalf is not to be sneezed
tfat lightly.
Lest this barrier be set up between
these two grand old institutions,
the students of the Plains
while in Columbus this week-end
should refrain from rowdyism, especially
the practice of making "a
raid" on the "rat" caps of the
Georgia freshmen. This is in it-self
but harmless fun, but it breeds
dangerous animosities and should
be stopped.
Let us who have the real Auburn
spirit stand together and
show our "friendly enemies" that
we are gentlemen 1 >
be a part of Auburn and the class
that enters next fall will start off
under these rules and will" think
of nothing but obedience to them.
The present Rat class should remember
that next year they will
have a part in seeing that these
rules are obeyed and that the
longer they stay here the more
they will desire to see them in full
force.
A committee will be elected from
the upper classes to take care of
the violators of these rules and it
is the duty of all to see to it that
any Rat who violates a rule is reported
to this committee at once.
Unless the upper classes take it
upon themselves to report a violator
then there will be no reason
for obedience and no penalty for
disobedience.
For many years numerous other
colleges and universities have had
rules and regulations for Freshmen,
and they have always proved
to be worth while. The same result
will be found at Auburn, but it is
up to the Freshmen to refrain from
violating them. By upholding these
rules the "Rats" can show some
real Auburn^Spirit.
DRUNKARDS, NOTE/
THOSE FRESHMAN RULES
Auburn has taken a big step
forward and toward bettering the
spirit by installing a set of rules
for the government of the Rats.
Hazing has become a thing of the
past but there has been an apparent
need of some means of keeping
the Freshman fully informed
as to the place he fills at Auburn.
Individually the Rat may be as
good a man as any upperclassman
but as a student he does not stack
up that way. A Rat is a Rat and
I always in the wrong, no matter
^ ^ what his social standing or mental
attainment.
But no matter what good is possible
from these rules, none will
be realized unless they are observed
by the Freshmen and unless the
men of the upper classes see to it
that they are observed. If the
present Freshman class cooperates
and sees to it that these rules are
observed this year then they will
-Up in Birmingham this past Saturday
at the Sewanee game, the
Drink-It-Down Club and the Don't-
Let-It-Come-Up Club held theip
weekly meetings, .some at the football
field, others at the Molton,
some at the Tutwiler. Willard Mc-
Call presided at one of the meetings
and gave a valiant exhibition
of what one should do to become
a member of the club. The cops
were in attendance and reported
a find of several souvenirs of the
day. Everything progressed nicely
and quite a number of casualties
were listed. The next Birmingham
meeting of the club will
be either at the Auburn-Centre
or the Alabama-Florida game.

rious branches of sports to practice.
\This is not a critcism, as the
present football field, basketball
court, baseball grounds and track
are all good ones. A few years
ago, when the number of students
was much smaller, the present
fields were adequate, but with approximately
four hundred students
making a try for berths in the four
major college sports, an expansion
of the playing area on the campus
becomes necessary. Especially is
this true o f football and baseball
grounds. Since the adoption of
the freshman rule in southern colleges
and the present growing importance
of freshman teams, it is
essential that they be given ample
space to develop, and to make possible
a constant source of~material
for the varsity teams.
Auburn's baseball team will need
more strong recruits than will be
available next spring and this is
largely due to the fact that there
was not sufficient territory on the
one field 'for the freshmen and
scrubs to develop strength as the
greater portion of the time had
to be devoted to -the work of
the varsity last year. This could
not be helped last year, but there
are several months left before baseball
practice will begin again, and
with such a large amount of unoccupied
grounds in and around
Auburn, it seems that this condition
could easily be remedied before
the time for the diamond activities
to start.
Indications are that Auburn will
have a strong "Rat" baseball team
next season, as some excellent material
is distributed among the
members of the class. A little cooperative
spirit on the part of students
might go a long way toward
solving this problem, as was shown
a few years ago when the students
helped to put the present diamond
in such good playing condition.
Talk it up, gang, and let's get together.

The Home Economics Club met
Wednesday, October 24th, at five
o'clock in the Home Economics department.
The meeting was an
open discussion of how the programs
for the year will be conducted.
It is the desire of the program
committee under the efficient leadership
of Miss Elizabeth Collins
that every member feel free to express
herself on the subject of discussion.
Mrs. Wilson was a delightful visitor
of the Club who made a short
but interesting talk. She expressed
her willingness to speak to the
Club on certain subjects in which
the members are interested.
The Club is expecting to get
on par with the other professional
societies, thus getting quality points
for its members. Two new members
were voted membership in
the Club, Mrs. Hooker and Miss
Ruby Russell. These two will be
initiated at the next meeting.

One day in 1895? Roentgen noticed that a
cardboard coated with fluorescent material
glowed while a nearby Pluecker tube was
in action. "What did you think?" an
English scientist asked him. "I did not
think; I investigated," was the reply.
Roentgen covered the tube with black
paper. Still the cardboard glowed. He took
photographs through a pine door and discovered
on them a white band corresponding
to the lead beading on the door. His
investigation led to the discovery of X-rays.
Roentgen's rays have proved an inestimable
boon to humanity. In the hands of
doctor and surgeon they are saving life
and reducing suffering. In the hands of
the scientist they are yielding new knowledge—
even of the arrangement and
structure of atoms, The Research Laboratories

have contributed greatly to these ends by
developing more powerful and efficacious
X-ray tubes.

Over scores of university and college"
teams throughout the country,
and numerous other disabled men
occupying high positions in student
organizations, college officials
pointed today to the record of vocational
students which is considered
both unique and remarkable.
Satistics along this line compiled
for the first time in the history of
the training of disabled men at Auburn
were obtained from V. O. Col-lins,
Coordinator, United States
Veterans' Bureau.
Mr. Collins has had charge of
the work of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau
here since October 26, 1921,
having been transferred from the
Mississippi A. & M. College, where
he was assistant coordinator. In
addition to his work as coordinator
at Auburn he is also local agricultural
supervisor of veterans ^in
training in Lee and Chambers
Counties. He also oganized the local
post of the American Legion
here.'
Approximately 500 disabled men
have been enrolled as vocational
students at Auburn, according to
the statistics. Up to date a total
of 175 men have been rehabilitated
and a hundred percent successful
employment for the rehabilitated
has been attained it was stated. Mr.
Collins added that 97 percent of
those remaining at Auburn would
be rehabilitated:
The outstanding feature, however,
of the work of the vocational
students is the remarkable
record of men . in • the
student life of the college. Thg

'addition there were three other

Men's Christian Association; three
disabled veterans made the college
glee club; another veteran in training
under the Bureau made the
staff of the Plainsman, the student
weekly; still another was on the
staff of the Alabama Farmer; two
veterans were elected to the dramatic
club; one made the band; five
Were assistant instructors; another
was vice-president of the chemical
society; J. L. McKinnon of Talladega
Springs was captain of the famous
rifle team which outclassed
the teams of all other competing
universities in the United States
last year.
George W. Phillips, of Europa,
Miss., a disabled veteran, was president
of the junior class last year
and is president of the senior class
this year. Another veteran was
vice-president of the society of civil
engineering. A number of veterans
made the honor fraternities
including the Phi Kappa Phi, Tau
Beta Pi, Scarabs, Alpha Phi Epsil-on,
Theta Alpha Phi, Alchemists
Club as well as the Veterinary Medical
Association.
Further than this three veterans
in training were members of the
stock judging team at the Southeastern
Fair in Atlanta, namely R.
L. Tait, J. W. Fant, and Felston
Mullins, the latter being the winner
of three gold medals.
Finally at the present time the
student with the highest average
is J. C. McKinnon of Talladega
Springs, a disabled veteran. Also
Mr. Collins added, at the present
time there are no men on probation.
It may pass for a maxim in state
that the administration cannot be
placed in too few hands, nor the
in too many.-Cicero.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Student government plans are
being carefully considered here
with the view of reaching a decision
as to whether or not the

DELEGATE TO KENTUCKY
F. J. Almgren of Fairfield, Ala.,
member of the senior class, has returned
fn»m Lexington, Kentucky,
where he was the representative of
local chapter of Tau Beta Pi, national
Engineering honor fraternity,
in annual convention at Kentucky
University.
Mr. Almgren was the only delegate
from the South. He said the
most significant action taken at the
national convention was the decision
to give full recognition to
women who graduate in- recognized
Engineering schools.
Incidentally, Auburn has one of
the first women graduates in En-neering,
Miss Maria Whitson, who
is now connected with the Alabama
Power Company.

THE PLAINSMAN
AUBURN VOTES SOME
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS
By a twenty-to-one vote, the
Town of Auburn voted $10,000 in
boncte for waterworks and street
improvement recently. These bonds
were divided into three issues, all
of which bear 6 percent interest
and are payable in ten years. The
notes will be cared for by a sinking
fund which is to be created
out of the revenues of the town;
or if this proves insufficient, a
small per capita taxation will be
i enacted for this purpose.
The largest bond issue voted
; was for the amount of $5,000,
i which is to go for the extension of
! water mains and the replacement
of some of the two inch ones by
I four-inch mains. This will be
| quite a convenience to many and
I increase the service of all.
Another issue calls for the expenditure
of $2,000 for installing
a trunk sewerage line in the West
side of town, where at present
there is none. This is a badly
needed improvement also. Sewers
emptying into this trunk line will
be paid for by • assessments upon
the property served.
The remaining $3,000 worth of
bonds is to be expended upon the
streets of the town, in the way of
grading and cutting down hills,
putting in underdrains, and improving
street drainage generally.
The water supply of the town is
to be increased very shortly also,
because work has been in progress
for some time. The town buys
its water wholesale from the college
incidentally, and the college
in turn obtains its supply from
deep drilled wells. The recent dry
spell along with calls for more
water than usual have been beyond
the output of these wells. This
has brought no little inconvenience
upon "students and townspeople
alike. However, the college has
two additional wells nearly completed,
and the Ideal Laundry
which uses a million gallons of
water weekly expects to drill a
private well to care for its private
needs.
The announcement of these projects
going through will doubtless
insure no repetition of shortages
of water for a long while at least,
and are greeted with enthusiasm
by everyone; as are also the other
proposed projects for a better town
and school. As students, we congratulate
Mayor Yarbrough and the
voters for these constructive and
needed measures which they have
undertaken.
LYCEUM COURSE OF FIVE
NUMBERS FOR AUBURN
NEWS NOTES FROM
"TIGER" S. S. CLASS
On Tuesday night of last week
the "Tiger Class" of the Presbyterian
Sunday School met at the
church for the second social and
business meeting. On this occasion
music, coffee and cake were enjoyed
by members of the class and visitors,
after which some of the business
of the class was discussed. As
usual every one present enjoyed
| the evening to the fullest extent.
Last Sunday the speaker who
|i addressed the class was Captain
§Compton of the Military Department.
He gave a very forceful talk
%m the humanity of Jesus Christ.
!
ie analyzed the human nature of
he Christ and pointed out that
ie enjoyed life to the fullest ex-ent,
and that were He on earth to-lay
in a physical form, He would
ook on life as we do, and would
;iave the same disappointments and
Pleasures that we have. The only
lifference would be that He would
|neet all circumstances in His per-
'ect way, whereas we are imperfect
n all things.
The speaker for Sunday, November
4, will be Major Hatch. He has
Snot yet announced the subject of
his address. The general theme of
these Sunday addresses will be the
applying of Christianity to present
day occurrences. Dean Petrie
presented this theme very ably in
connection with the recent Japanese
disaster when he gave the first
'ecture of this series.
The continuous demand for
the Lyceum Course by^ the students
here has led the Lyceum
Committee to take steps in securing
a course of five numbers which
will extend through a period of
several months. The first number
was on Thursday night and there
will not be another until the first
of February.
The Hayes Opera Singers, in costumed
excerpts from familiar ^Operas,
were here on Thursday night,
and were enjoyed by a large crowd.
The second number will be on February
1st, 1924, and is "Mabel Garrison"
Soprano, Metropolitan Opera
Company. Reserved seat tickets
will be on sale for this number
some time in January.
The third number comes on the
third of March, and is entitled
"Six Cylinder Love." It is a popular
stage play which had a two-year
run in New York City. The
fourth number will be the Dever-eux
Players sometime in April. The
date of the last number is still
pending, but it is known that it will
be a musical comedy.
Everything points to a successful
Lyceum Course if the students
will support it. The committee
guarantees that one will always
get their money's worth and more
too.
DRAMATIC CLUB
INITIATES NEW MEMBERS
The constant admission of new
members to the Dramatic Club has
made it necessary to give over
more than one meeting almost absolutely
to their initiation. The
meeting which was held on Monday
night was of this type. A considerable
number were present and
pronounced the meeting a success.
In lieu of a regular program, the
president proceeded to call upon
several members of the club for
impromptu speeches. As a result
quite an entertaining program was
rendered extemporaneously before
the initiation took place. Speeches
were made by Miss Nabors, Mr.
Glenn, Mr. Leary, Miss Bentley, Mr.
McKnight, and others, and an enjoyable
half hour was the result.
The remaining part of the hour
was taken up in the initiation of
some of the new members. Each
candidate had been assigned a subject
upon which he or she was to
prepare a speech that would last
about two minutes. The subjects
assigned naturally called for humorous
speeches and humorous
speeches were what the audience
received. On the whole, the hour
was well spent and some real tal-

STITT WILSON HEARD
Speaks to Y. M. C. A and
Y. W. C. A. Cabinets
Stitt Wilson, international figure
in social and industrial problems,
spoke to a group of students in
Smith Hall Tuesday night at 6:30.
The meeting was especially for the
cabinets of the Y. M. C. A. and the
Y. W. C. A. The subject of Mr. Wilson's
speech was "The Technique
of the Spiritual Life."
"AH who excel in any line must
first perfect their technique," he
said. The three main phases of
perfection in spiritual life, as set
forth by the speaker were: first,
"Get alone with God for some time
every day;" second, "Furnish your
mind rightly by reading something
good every day;" and third, "Think
about somebody else's welfare
first."
Mr. Wilson explained, that - in
these three simple rules lies the
foundation of perfect living. "No
one ever amounts to anything," he
continued, "who does not spend
some time in solitude and in order
that this silence may be filled with
elevating thoughts . there must be
in the mind some treasures of literature."
Stitt Wilson was chosen especially
by.the Y. M. C. A. to speak
to college students. He has spent
much time abroad and is acquainted
with great men on two continents,
being a personal friend of
Jack London, the famous author.
WIRT SOCIETY HAS
EXCELLENT MEETING
"Swede" Sitz, big Tiger guard,
who is expected to stop many
of Georgia's line thrusts, Saturday.
The regular meeting of the Wirt
Literary Society took place on
Monday night with about sixty-five
members ', present. The meeting
was called to order by Vice-President
Timbcrlake, who in the absence
of the President, took charge
of the meeting. After the regular
business had been disposed of the
program was rendered.
Mr. Mason gave an excellent talk
on "The Removal of a Rat's Hair
is His Most Impressive Experience."
The talk was very interesting
and humorous and the speaker
gave a good formula for the quick
restoration of hair, which many
may find valuable in early February.
A debate was next on the program.
The subject was: Resolved
that Auburn should be torn down
and rebuilt. On.-the affirmative
side of the question the speakers
were Mr. Lock and Mr. Kelly; on
the negative side, Mr. J. P. Smith
and Mr. H. G. Spenser were the
speakers. The debate was hotly
and humorously contested and after
"serious consideration" the decision
was made in favor of the
negative. The program was concluded
by a discussion of current
events by Mr. R. J. Barefield.
Then several new members were
initiated. During the initiation
there were some real snappy stunts
pulled, such as dancing, singing,
and proposing, which kept the society
in a constant uproar. The
initiaton concluded the meeting
and it adjourned.
STITT WILSON SPEAKS
AT CONVOCATION
What you are tomorrow depends
on what you think and do today.
Noted California Lecturer Discusser
World Problems
At Convocation on Tuesday Afternoon,
the Freshman Class and
many of the upper classmen heard
Hon. J. Stitt Wilson, of California,
speak at length upon some of the
leading world problems of today.
He was introduced in a very appropriate
manner by Mr. L. H.
Tapscott. Y. M. C. A. Secmat>-
Mr. Wilson 4n the beginning of
his speech said that he had been
sent out along with others to visit
the colleges of the United States
and Canada for the purpose of
making the students better ac-acquainted
with the problems
which are now confronting the nations
of the world. He has visited
all but two states and more than
two hundred colleges. In the
course of his lecture tour, Mr.
Wilson stated, he has secured the
names of ten thousand students
who expressed themselves as being
intereted in world problems.
The lecturer then proceeded ~to\
enumerate and discuss to a limited
extent certain of the leading .difficult
problems which confront
people everywhere. Among these
he mentioned the farming problems
and the conditions which are
arising out of the great increase in
crime which has taken place in
this country.
"There is evidence of decreasing
purity," said Mr. Wilson, "among
the people of this country and
especially among college students.
There is a decided increase in the
prcentage of college students who
are now in the penitentiaries of
this country."
The speaker then tola 'he students
that the world ^vas looking
to its leaders to solve its problems
and that leadership was left largely
to the one per cent of the American
people who are college students.-
"There are men listening
to me now," stated Mr. Wilson,
"who will become members of Congress,
diplomats, statesmen, editors
and other responsible leaders of
human society."
"Man is a three-fold being," continued
the speaker, "and not one
of those three phases can be safely
neglected. There is the physical
side, the intellectual side, and the
moral and spiritual side of a
man's life. It is the moral and
spiritual element which is being
so badly neglected everywhere,
.and this cannot be allowed
to continue." Mr. Wilson further
stated that without this spiritual
cultivation, no man can be said to
be educated.
The lecturer closed his - -Mress
with an appeal to the students to
"take a look into that which constitutes
spiritual character" and
see that this side of man's nature
did not continue .to be neglected,
as it is now and.has been in the
past.
JUNIOR TIGERS
OFF TO TALLADEGA
Will Meet Jacksonville Normal
Team
Coach Newell, with nineteen
members of his Freshman team,
will leave Friday for Talladega
where they will meet the strong
Jacksonville State Normal School
team. Last year the Auburn "Rats"
met the Teachers on the same field
and succeeded in winning by a
large score, but as these Normal-ites
are reported to have considerably
more strength tluY season,
it is expected that to repeat with a
victory this time will be a much
harder task.
Birmingham-Southern was the
first opponent of the Teachers this
season and were held to a scoreless
tic, which shows that the up-staters
have a very formidable
eleven, Coachv,Bush, who is guiding
the operations of the Jacksonville
bunch, is an old Auburn man
and would-naturally have his boys
show the younger- members of his
Alma Mater a few things in the
football line by handing them a defeat.
/
Saturday's game will be the
sixth game of the season for the
Freshmen, four of which have been
won, one was lost and the fifth a
scoreless tie. After getting off to
a good start the team cracked
against the young Bulldogs and received
a terrible beating. Last
week they came back and showed
real good form against the Troy
Normal team by winning easily.
In this game, little Pete Hassler
showed so much form that he has
been placed regularly at the quarterback
position, the one place
that has been giving worry to the
coach. The midget quarter was formerly
an Ensley High School boy
where he was considered one' of
the best backs and field generals
in that section of the state. English,
husky tackle of the squad,
was also a star member of the
Ensley Jackets last year and is one
of the most- dependable forwards
on the Freshman team.
In Blackledge the junior Tiger
mentor seems to have recently uncovered
a powerful guard. The recent
scrimmage against the varsity
gave the big fellow a chance to
display his wares and he made good
the opportunity with a rush. Dau-gette,
formerly a Normal school
man, has beeh showing up well of
late and the swift little wingman
will probably be pitted against his
former teammates during the game.
Those making the trip are: Robinson
and Dunning, centers; Glass,
Blackledge and Lovelace, guards;
English, Aiken and Long, tackles;
Moulton (Captain), Petitte and
Daugette, ends; Hassler and Thig-pen,
quarterbacks; Gregg, Whit-taker,
Shamblin and Starkey, halfbacks;
Haygood and Andress, fullbacks.
Noise proves nothing. Often a
hen who has merely laid an egg
cackles as though she had laid an
asteroid.-Mark Twain.
When a rich man attributes his
success to hard work and thrift, no
one except other rich men believes
him.

Fletcher and Randall. Fletcher is
one of the outstanding stars of
southern football and with his
teammate, Joe Bennett, was given
an all-southern berth last year. If
Harrison's injury should keep him
from the lineup-well, this would
give the old dope bucket an awful
tilt toward Georgia.
Ford, who may probably start,
has been out almost all the season
with injuries. If in the lineup, the
big fullback will balance the hard
driving Butler at the battering ram
post. Howe or Green may be called
upon to shoulder this big responsibility,
and thus give the
Athenians a further advantage. Regardless

that date have the Athenians crossed
the Tigers' goal more than
twice in a single game, while only
in six of the past thirteen games
have the Bulldogs scored, one of
these being a field goal in 1923.
On the other hand the Orange and
Blue have been held scoreless in
five of these last fourteen games,
three times they only scored one
touchdown and once a field goal.
While previous records will in
no way decide Saturday's game,

inary, one would have to say
"Buck" Williams as the Chattanooga
boy just drove through with
the ball in such a slashing manner
as to give everyone a thrill even
though the game was not so much
of the hair raising variety. Then
there was Dean Petersen who always
runs the team as smoothly as
twin-six motor, be played a wonderful
game along with, Howe,
Allen and Ford in the backfield. If
the gang can keep up that old drive
all the season, the Plainsmen opponents
will have plenty to worry
over when the Plainsmen are on
the march up the field.

At a recent meeting of the Ag.
Club the program was placed largely
in the hands of Dr. Dan T. Gray,
Dean of the College of Agriculture
and Director of the Experiment
Station, who spoke in a general way
of some things which that department
is doing and expects to do.
Dean Gray discussed first the acquisition
of four hundred and forty
acres of new land and how much it
will help the crowded conditions
which now exist, and the new complete
barns which are planned to
be built this session . However a
previous issue of the Plainsman
has dealt with the details of this.
A new and novel idea is now
being worked out by Dean Gray
and the Professors associated with
him by which boys and girls in
Agriculture will be given plots of
ground with which to gain practical
experience and training. They
will then sell their products and
use the profits, after deducting land
rental, to go toward defraying college
expenses. This will be a
source of financial benefit to many
and at the same time teach some
simple methods of marketing and
business. *
The Agricultural Department
does considerable teaching, but-this
hardly compares to the work
being done along research and extension
lines. For example , according
to Dean Gray, there are
eighty six projects of experimentation
being conducted by these latter
departments at an annual cost
of $65,000.
The college has been negligent
about keeping up with it's Alumni
to a certain degree, but Dean Gray
has on a campaign of his own for
the present to locate the "old Ag.
men, and to ascertain sosrftthing
of their success in fife, lip 10 date
four hundred Graduates in Agriculture
have been gotten in touch
with.
Another phase of work before
this department of the college is an
effort which is now on foot to make
the people of Alabama see more in
Agriculture than they now seem to
see. Dean Gray emphasized the
importance of having the public
educated to the real benefits and
advantages that agriculture offers
as compared to other vocations. He
drew a concrete example from the
fact that Agricultural Graduates of
the college have in the last few
years been able to obtain positions
paying between $2,000 and $3,600
on the whole whereas graduates
from other departments have done
well to demand half these sums.
The practice of agriculture has always
been one of freedom, it was
stated, but now it is making a
strong bid as a business with attractive
remunerative qualities.
