Twenty-four active members and
twelve alumni of the Tau Omega Chi
local fraternity have been initiated
as members of Theta Upsilon Ome­ga.
The national organization of this
fraternity is located in Philadelphia,
and the Auburn chapter, which is to
be known as Eta Beta, will make the
total number sixteen.
Theta Upsilon Omega was founded
in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, in Feb­ruary,
1924. The government is vest
ed in an arch chapter which consists
of the national officers and one vot­ing
delegate and two non-voting dele­gates
from each active chapter. An
arch chapter convention is held an­nually.
The installation ceremony was in
charge of the national officers as well
as several initiating committees from
Southern chapters of the fraternity.
Approximately twenty members of the
chapter at the University of Alabama
were present as well as a delegation
being sent from George Washing Uni­versity.
Theta Upsilon Omega now
has three Southern chapters, Auburn,
University of Alabama, and David­son
College.
Representatives from each fraterni­ty
on the campus have been invited
to attend a tea dance which is to be
given at the Tau Omega Chi House
today from 6 to 8 p. m. This dance
is to be followed by a banquet given
at the Eastern Stat Hall, which is
to conclude the installation ceremon-

Peppy Mass Meeting
On Eve Wofford Tilt
The Auburn spirit was at a high
pitch during the mass meeting held
Friday night in Langdon Hall due to
the overwhelming victory over Georgia
Tech in the cross country race yes­terday
afternoon. The student body,
led by the band, paraded in single
file through the streets, gathering new
recruits at every step. Upon return­ing
to the auditorium, pandemonium
broke loose for a hectic half-hour of
high noted hilarity. The cheer lead­ers
reminded the students of the fact
that the game with Wofford would.not
be a walk-away since they had held
Duke to fourteen points, and Duke
had beat the Navy. After trying in
vain to raise the roof, the students
retired to the ttme of "Beat Wofford",
"Eat 'em up Tigers," and "War-
Eagles."
A farewell review in honor of Hon.
Bibb Graves, Governor of the State
of Alabama, was held this morning
at eleven o'clock. This is the last
time the Auburn R. O. T. C. Unit will
be reviewed by the governor. The en­tire
regiment passed before the Gov­ernors'
Reviewing Stand and then
massed in front of the stand for the
dedication exercises of Bullard Field.
A Governor's salute of seventeen
guns was fired immediately preced­ing
the review. Immediately follow­ing
the review the Auburn Band and
R. 0. T. C. Unit formed an immense
square in froiit of the reviewing
stand and participated in the dedica­tion
exercises. The program for the
dedication was as follows: "Ameri­ca"
played by the Auburn Band;
Governor (Graves' introduction by
Dr. Knapp; address to Auburn stu­dents
by Governor Graves; and the
"Star Spangled Banner" played by
the band. Troops were then dismis­sed.
Governor and Mrs. Graves were
house guests of Dr. and Mrs. Brad­ford
Knapp for the week-end. The
Governors' party attended the Au­burn-
Wofford game in the afternoon.
Governor Graves also attended the
initiation of Scabbard and Blade held
Friday night. The Governor is a
member of the honorary military
fraternity, being initiated last year,
and this is the first time he has at­tended
an initiation.

Auburn Knights Play
For "A" Club Dance
The Auburn Knights, student or­chestra,
will make its first public
appearance in Aubtfrn when it plays
at the "A" Club dance tonight. Plans
are now being made to make this the
best dance of the year for the bene­fit
of the Wofford visitors, who are
the guests of honor.
Many alumni of the college will
be in Auburn Saturday for the day,
and a large number are expected to
remain over for the dance. Many
young ladies from out-of-town are
also expected to attend.
Correspondence is being carried on
with several Southern colleges in re­gard
to a debate schedule, it was
announced today by Prof. L. S. Jud-son,
head of the Speech Department.
The department is not ready to make
any definite announcement, at the
present, in regard to this schedule,
but Professor Judson stated that all
arrangements will be completed in
the near future.
The official Pi Kappa Delta ques­tion
is to be studied by the Auburn
team, and due to the fact that it is
also the official question of the
Southern Association of Teachers of
Speech, there will be many Southern
colleges with which engagaments can
be made. This official question is,
"Resolved: That the Nations of the
World Should Adopt a Policy of
Free Trade," and, due to the wide
spread interest in this subject, the
Auburn debating team is looking for­ward
to a valuable season.
Four candidates have been selected
as members of the varsity team.
However, Professor Judson stated
that this arrangement was subject to
change at any time.' The number of
candidates who have answered the
call for the three debating teams has
been small, and Professor Judson ex­pressed
the hope that more students
would become interested enough in
this activity to try for a place on the
squad.
Under the present arrangements
the Auburn debating team is com­posed
of A. B. Hansen and Ralph
Segrest as members of the affirma­tive,
and Douglas Brown and J. W.
Letson, Jr. as members of the nega­tive,
the order named being the order
in which each speaker will appear.

The portrait of John J. Wilmore,
dean of the school of enginering will
be officially presented Monday even­ing
at 7 o'clock at the gymnasium.
Professor J. C. McKinnon will pre­side
at the presentation ceremonies.
One of the principle speakers will be
Professor C. A. Baughman, who will
tell of Dean Wilmore's work since
first coming to Auburn, in 1882. As
an added feature of the program, Roy
H. Staples, instructor in Applied Arts,
will be present to speak to the gath­ering.
The painting will be official­ly
presented by Professor J. ..C. Mc­Kinnon
to Dr. Knapp, who will ac­cept
it in behalf of the faculty and
students of Auburn.
The painting and presentation of
this portrait was made possible by
student contributions, and ^s indica­tive
of the high esteem which Dean
Wilmore enjoys on this campus. It
is planned at present to install this
picture, which has been on display
at Burton's Book Store, in the read­ing
room in Ramsay Hall.
A finale, light refreshments will
be served to the gathering.
The faculty, R*. O. T. C. staff, coach­es,
and all engineering students are
urged to attend.

Davis Clears Up Rumors Concerning
Broadcasting Of Games Over WAPI
By P. O. Davis
In broadcasting football games
this fall station WAPI has been con­fronted
with several problems which
are not understood by all the list­eners.
Occasionally the writer hears
a remark about "Auburn being neg­lected."
To present the facts and
thereby correct this impression this
statement is being made.
It is absolutely no fault of the
management of WAPI that this sta­tion
is broadcasting from the field
side more University than Auburn
games. The reason is that more Uni­versity
games are available to WAPI
because of the place where they are
played.
For example, three of the Univer­sity
games and one Auburn game
have been (or will be) played in
Birmingham this fall. The policy of
the station is to broadcast from the
field side all Auburn and University
games' played in Birmingham. Con­sequently
the University gets three
this fall and Auburn one.
WAPI is broadcasting two Univer­sity
games direct from the field at
Tuscaloosa and only one Auburn
game •'direct from the field at Au­burn.
This was the Auburn-Spring
Hill game. It happens that the Au-burn-
Wofford- game is being played
on November 1 when the National
Bi-oadcasting Company will be broad­casting
the Alabama-Kentucky game
at Lexington. Since station WAPI
is a member of the NBC and the
Alabama-Kentucky game is one of
the big games of the United States
it goes without saying that' station
WAPI should broadcast it.

Freshmen from twenty fraternities
were entertained by the Sigma Pi
pledges at an informal smoker which
was held last Tuesday'night. Each
pledge introduced himself by stating
his name and fraternity after which
Professor Hixon demonstrated his abi­lity
wjth a deck of cards, showing
some tricks that were considered by
those present as very unusual. Pro­fessor
Hixon also performed several
tricks with the aid of hypnotism
which excited much comment from the
Fre.shmen.
Four pledges were given the pleas­ure
of singing the Laundry list, aft­er
which refreshments were served.
The refreshments consisted of hot
chocolate and cakes. A prize for the
winner of the lie telling contest was
won by A. C. White, an Alpha Tau
Omega pledge. Ernest Stringer, pres­ident
of the Sigma Pi pledges acted
as master of ceremonies.
The band and cheer leaders will
make the trip to New Orleans for the
Auburn-Tulane game on November
eighth, it was decided at the conva-cation
held in Langdon Hall Thurs­day
morning. The trip, sponsored
this year by the Omicron Delta Kap­pa
fraternity, was made possible thru
contributions donated by the student
body. The plan of financing the trip
as 'decided upon at the convocation
called by the Omicron Delta Kappa,
was presented to the student body by
Charles S. Davis, president of the
chapter. Dr. Knapp spoke a few
words in behalf of the proposed plan
during which he heartily endorsed it.
He also complimented the students on
the manner in which they conducted
themselves during the football game
at Columbus" last week end..
A unanimous vote in favor of the
plan for sending the band and the
cheer leaders to New Orleans was a
judicious reward for the hard work
done by Omicron Delta Kappa. This
society is a national honorary frater­nity
composed of men who have at­tained
a high standard of efficiency
in collegiate activities. Its purpose
is to bring together the most repre­sentative
men in all phases of colle­giate
life, to bring the members of
the faculty into closer contact with
the student body, and to inspire oth­ers
to strive for conspicuous attain­ments
along similar lines.

Gas Mains Will Be Opened In 80
PerCenl Of Auburn Homes Monday
The Southern Natural Gas Com­pany
will have all preliminary ar­rangements
complete Monday morn­ing
when the mains will be opened,
and gas supplied to Auburn homes
for the first time, according to Leo­nard
White, local manager of the
company. All of the main lines have
been laid throughout the city, and the
only activity which will be continued
by the construction crew is that of
servicing the rest of the Auburn
homes. The management stated that
it was the present plan to put a met­er
box, with all line connections, in
at least eighty percent of the resi­dences
in Auburn. These connections
are being made with the idea of tak­ing
care of future development in
such a way as to save the customer
every possible delay in having gas
supplied to his home.
The Southern Natural Gas Com­pany
will hold a cooking school in
Langdon Hall, starting Tuesday, No­vember
3, and lasting through Fri­day.
It is the object of this school
to teach the new methods of prepar­ing
food as well as to show the ad­vantages
of the new gas appliances.
Miss Evelyn Johnson, of the Estate
Range Company, Hamilton, Ohio, is
expected to conduct the school, and
the local manager expressed the hope
that Auburn housekeepers would avail
themselves of this opportunity to study
approved methods of cooking.
Miss Robinson is a regular grad­uate
dietician, and plans are being
completed to take care of all those
who might be interested in attending
this school.

UPSILON OMEGA
This week-end will mark the passing of
another local fraternity into the ranks of
the nationals as the Tau Omega Chi Frat­ernity
is being installed as the Eta Beta
chapter of Theta Upsilon Omega, national
Greek letter social fraternity.
The addition of this organization brings
tne number of national social fraternities
here up to a total of twenty-three, and re­duces
the number of locals to two.
Tau Omega Chi was founded here in
1923, and since that time has been very
active on the campus. Members have en­gaged
in every phase of college activities.
It is the opinion of this paper that judg­ing
by the records made by Tau Omega
Chi in the past, Theta Upsilon Omega has
been most fortunate in securing as its rep­resentative
on this campus the local socie­ty.
The Plainsman congatulates Tau Omega
Chi on the eve of its installation as a
chapter of a national fraternity; it also
congratulates Theta Upsilon Omega upon
its entrance to Auburn and extends a hear­ty
welcome that is backed by the entire- in­stitute.
The Plainsman also welcomes national of­ficers
and representatives of other chap­ters
of Theta Upsilon Omega who are here
for the installation ceremonies.

UNVEILING THE PORTRAIT
The unveiling exercises for the portrait
of Dean Wilmore which will be held at the
gymnasium on Monday evening at seven
o'clock is an affair that should be attended
by everyone who is interested in the School
of Engineering.
The exercises, which will be held in the
form of a reception, should be attended by
everyone connected with the college in any
official way and every student enrolled in
engineering courses.
Auburn, through the Engineers' Club and
Tau Beta Pi, is showing its appreciation
and recognition of the work that Dean Wil­more
has done for Auburn and the engi­neering
departments.
The portrait, the planning for which was
done by Tau Beta Pi, was made possible
by the engineering students, and it is only
fitting that the engineers should attend and
enlarge the tribute. Every faculty mem­ber
should be in attendance.
Not every college is fortunate in having
men like Dean Wilmore.

Since there's nothing else to write about,
I might say a word or two about fraternity
social activities. For a long time is has
been a custom at Auburn for the various
fraternities to entertain the first year men
with smokers. I am just wondering if
there couldn't be some different form of
entertainment that can be instigated for
the freshmen.
Last year the pledges of two fraternities
gave dances. May I take this opportunity
to congratulate them on their initiative and
individuality. I can see outstanding social
possibilities in fraternity dances, if we
could invite out-of-town girls. The reason
for the scarcity of these entertainments
has been the lack of girls outside of that
parasitic plague—the Auburn co-ed.
Almost every school in the South of any
size has a highly developed social organi­zation.
We have three big sets of dances,
but with the exception of these and the
"A" Club Dances our social activities are
nil. What are the advantages of a smok­er?
Are they not all alike? A cloud of
cigar-smoke—ice cream and cake—dirty
jokes. This old thing of following in the
beaten path does much toward the hinder-ance
of progress and the perpetration of
present evils. For example, look at the un­sightly
path across the lawn of the Chemi­cal
Laboratory. Is it not the result of the
mass following in the sluggish footsteps
of some lazy person who cares nothing for
the appearance of the campus? In the same
way out social activities are in a rut, and
in a deep one. May I live to see the day
when fraternity dances are a weekly event
and the Co-eds evolve into the awful genus
of homo sapiens.

Ivan Turgenev, a writer of nineteenth
century Russia, has given the world some
splendid novels, four of which have been
chosen by Professor W. L. Phelp, of Yale
University, to be classed with ninety-six
.other masterpieces that he rates as the
hundred best novels.
A refined, scholarly writer, Turgenev is
a novelist of hidden meanings. Upon a
light perusal of his One the Eve, one could
scarcely recognize his underlying principles
that are so artfully expressed. Turgenev
knew the Russian people as no other writ­er
has ever known them. Russia was suf­fering
under the old regime of Nicholas I
when On the Eve was written. Turgenev
say that this state of affairs could never
last long; and tried to present a type of
man that would solve Russia's multitudin­ous'problems.
Instead of drawing his ideal
from real life he chose the hearsay Insarov,
a Bulgarian. Although he is, in a sense,
a mechanistic and stiff character, Insarov
symbolizes patriotism and potential will­power
in the extreme. He is the type of
man Russia needs. In Uvar Ivanovitch we
have a picture of the Russian of the past,
the present and the future—the lazy Slav
of the respectable middle-class who snubs
the proletariat and scoffs at the aristocra­cy.
Turgenev's books are written in a simple,
refined style, complete in their scholarly
subject matter without a single instance of
pornography or the so-called "vulgar rea­lism"
that is so characteristic of modern
literature.
My Opinion
By Vasili Leonidaitch
Often when I am posessed of the strange
malady of mental depression, when I expe­rience
the melancholy that only youth can
know, when unexplainable loneliness seizes
me in the midst of friends and loveable
companionships, I am at a loss to account
for these troubled emotions. Yet, it is not
unnatural . . . our minds have grown fast
. . . we still grasp for the truth . . .
insatiable longings play on our brajns . . .
we are tired of education . . . all striving
vainly measure college's aesthetic value
in terms of the tangible . . . spending time
and money foolishly and regretting it in
idle moments . . . it is all part of college
life and the time shall come, after hardening
reality takes its grip on our being, that we
-shall reflect on the pleasant and carefree
days.

There is even a class of philosophers who
a srt that all this unrest, the resulting
dissipations and vices, are prerequisites to
active life. Robert Burns once made the
analogy of a mud bath in which youth must
steep before the real toga of manhood can
be applied. Of course sin and remorse will
beset us at all stages of the game of life,
Prexy's Paragraphs
By Bradford Knapp
November is upon
us. The present se­mester
has been going
practically e i g ht
weeks. There remain
seven weeks before
Christmas and two
weeks after Christmas
before final examina­tions
for this semes­ter
begin. Colder days
are here. _.It will be easier to stay in your
room at night and therefore easier to study.
At least five and preferably six nights in
the week one ought to average to put in
from three to four hours of solid work.
Try it. It may be a new experience. The
best assurance I can give you is that it
is the kind of a habit which has developed
many a genius and created many a captain
of industry. It is worth the experiment
and now is a good time to begin.
* * * * *
Honesty is partly the product of one's
environment and associations, partly the
product of one's fundamental teaching in
the family at home, and partly the product
of innate feelings which come to us out of
all these things. It is inconceivable to me
that any man of finer feelings, of training
and education, should be dishonest. I think
dishonesty may brow upon one. I think
we ought to fight it whenever it appears.
Reference books at the library for the con­venience
and help of the students have been
put within easy reach but apparently we
have some common thieves in college for
a number of these valuable reference books
have disappeared. The men who took them
have no business to be in college and no
business to receive an education at the ex­pense
of the State. If these books were
not stolen straight out in the common, low,
and degraded manner of a petty thief, then
it is time that those who took them return­ed
them and made some declaration of their
own forgetfulness and some effort to put
their character on a basis that will be ac­ceptable
in an educative atmosphere.

There is a little magazine published in
New York called the "Silent Partner." It
contains many very keen bits of philosophy.
One led me to think of students at this
institution who are trying to get through
this year with a very limited amount of
money. It reads like this, "To live on less
and still have a cheerful-heart, is not only
an achievement—it .is an.art." And an­other
excellent one is this, "How soon most
of our troubles fade but when we face them
manfully." And another on which is very
true is this, "Looking up the long avenue
of achievement I fail to see a single loafer."
* * * * *
The greatest single achievement and the
greatest asset the American people have is
that they have acquired the ability to en­dure
periods of depression without feeling
it necessary to overthrow the government,
inaugurate'a revolution and destroy lives
and property. Education and experience
have taught us to hold fast to the great
institutions of our government and to feel
confident that if we can sustain and uphold
the great right of the people in their gov­ernment
we can solve the problems, what­ever
they may be. Other people have not
learned that secret and in times of dis­tress
they display to the world this lack
of confidence.
And that leads me to say that one of
the great assets and one of the great at­tributes
of the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
is this loyalty and unshakable con­stancy
on the part of its friends, its alumni,
and its students. I am sure that one of
these days we will face great victories in
football and I hope great victories in many
other fields of scholarship, research, crea­tive
thought, and fine service to the people
of this State, but I do hope that we never
lose this wonderful asset of loyalty. It is
akin to the great national asset which I
have described above.
and I do not mean that youth must dissi­pate
to be a man, but must rather learn
the utter folly of seeking- infinite content­ment
with finite devices. We learn this
either by experience of the less painful
methods of insight and observation.

Recently I had the occasion to visit the
library. I was surprised to see the number
of students there. Whether duty or the cul­tivation
of a good habit are responsible, I
do not know, but it is a favorable indication.
It is very probable that the students were
enrolled in the department of Business Ad­ministration.

The crisp fall weather supplies fuel to
my secret ambitions, some of them being1—
to write a good column, get two eggs for
breakfast, sleep through an eight o'clock
class without my conscience hurting me;
fall in love, wear the color spangled pajamas
that hang on the practice house clothes line,
go to a college without any clocks, be able
to tune the radio in a frat house, go to bed
at ten o'clock, play an accordion, write a
poem, and drink a stien of Koomis.

can not be done. You run to the door only to find that it has been locked, there
is no way for you to escape. The water is flowing over the sides of the tub and
is gradually covering the floor. There is a hole in the top of the bath-room barely
large enough for you to get your head through. The water continues to rise, WHAT

AFTER THE KISS
A maiden's kiss is untold bliss,
And that is how I please her.
I called last night, and dimmed the light,
And started in to squeeze her.
With circled arms, I held her charms,
With fond embrace, I kissed her.
Her brother saw, and told her "Paw",
And now my bliss, is—blister.
Yes sir, these Georgians are always kicking about something, and I am in the
market for an overstuffed cushion. .
Painfully,
HIC, HIC.

Sigma Pi seniors bore the brunt of an attack made by a bunch of their fresh­men
pledges Thursday night.
The poor seniors were outnumbered three to one, and what chance did they have
when a bunch of brutal, harddboiled first-year men said, "Grab your ankles, Rat
Taxicab, you're too damn slimy these days!"
When the above command was given, Mr. "Kapel", the pride of the General
Business men, meekly assumed the angular and submitted to unwarranted hazing on
the part of the ferocious freshmen . . . .
The attacked another senior when Barefoots failed to satisfactorily explain how
a goat could be a major.
The freshmen had their night Thursday. What happened last night is a dif­ferent
story.

"Recreation at Alabama consists main­ly
of dating, dancing and killing time,
and there is a lot of it done. Somebody
showed a little prescience when they de­signed
the Alabama seal, "Here We Rest',
and one boy amusingly told me that Ala­bama's

the July College Humor.—Old Gold and

* * * * *
SOMETHING IN COMMON
According to The Technique a class is a
meeting of a small group of people, usual­ly
held in colleges and kindergartens, for
the purpose of killing time. The meeting
is generally conducted by some old fogey
who is narrow-minded and mean. The suc­cess
of the professor is judged by his abili­ty
to keep the class in a bored attitude. All
of which leads us to believe that there are
several successful professors at Mercer."

"They had their pictures taken and sat

" When they swaggered into the stands,

GE^S HIS NAME IN THE PAPER
Intercollegiate athletics are an added bar­rier
to a young man who wishes to secure
the ground work of a liberal education in
four short years, declares Frank Shoon-maker,
writing on the subject, "Pity the
Poor Athlete," in the November issue of
Harper's Magazine.
"A football playing undergraduate may
very well be able to keep up in his classes,
and to maintain satisfactory grades; but
his outside reading, his non-required work
in college library, his general interest in
things of lasting importance, are bound by
every law known to the human mind to
suffer," Mr. Shoonmaker writes.
In considering what benefits undergrad­uates
may derive from participation in in­tercollegiate
sport, he adds "there is not a
single factor that cannot be legitimately
challenged." "Tennis and swimming will
do as much for physical condition as will
football. The college man cannot, except
in isolated instances, profit financially aft­er
his graduation from the athletic in­stances,
profit financially after his gradua­tion
from the athletic training which he has
received", added the writer..—Columbia
Spectator.
What a perfect little boy he must have
been.

THANKS 'BAMA
Here is a little clipping taken from the
student paper of the University of Ala­bama
:
"We hand it to Auburn, they are cer­tainly
providing a bucketful of surprises.
They begin the season in true Tiger fashion
by losing to Birmingham-Southern. Then
they proceed to knock the dope cock-eyed
by trouncing Spring Hill, and playing
Florida, and Tech to a standstill. When
the little boy reaches up and punches the
big guy in the nose fond public applaudes,
and that is exactly what the multitudes are
doing now. Auburn is demanding respect
and they are beginning to get it."

ON THE MORNING of July 26, 1926,
a hurricane swept the lower East
coast of Florida at the rate of over
one hundred miles an hour. The waves of
the Atlantic rose twenty to fifty feet in
height. The trees were bent to the ground.
Some were uprooted. Small boats and
yachts anchored in the lake gradually filled
with water and sunk. People who made
their homes in house boats were homeless
in a short while. Lightning did not ac­company
the strong winds, but a light rain
continued throughout. Figures were seen
on the streets in bathing suits, others with
clothes soaking wet. Pedestrians who were
too light to walk against the wind were
blown down. Display signs were torn away.
Plate glass fronts were broken by the strong
winds. Glass, boxes, and trash were blown
up and down the middle of the streets. Oc­casionally
some light object (a brick) would
go sailing through the air and strike some
one. The ocean boulevard washed away in
many places. The lake waters rose into
the streets of the business section. Cars
were drowned out along the streets. Some
were driven on through the rain and wind.
Others had the frames of their tops still
up where the canvas had. been ripped off.
Taxis carried people from place to place.
Some took people from Florida never to
return. Parts of walls of some old buildings
collapsed. A huge part of one wall fell on
a Ford car parked in front. The owner
never knew whether the wind took it away
or not. All through the night sleep came
at precious intervals.
The morning of the 27th was a continua­tion
of the day before. At eight-thirty A.
M., life guards were having their morning
plunges at the beach, heedless of the high
waves. One life guard walked to the end
of a quarter mile pier and jumped into
the surf. He was washed ashore later
about three miles down the shore unhurt.
The morning of the 28th was different.
The sun shone. The day was natural
again. The broken trees, the lifted roofs
and the torn away boulevards and collected
rubbish were the only signs of a hurricane.
Glad that the storm was over, I went to
work as usual. I missed some of my friends
who departed during the storm for the
North.
* * *
THERE WAS a mass meeting last Fri­day
night. The great mass passed
through the town. It was a wonderful sight
to see. A few students followed along be­hind
the band. There was spirit in the few
who were there. It was the poorest ex­hibition
of a mass meeting that has been
staged. What could have been the reason
for so few turning out? That is simple.
Half of the students had departed for the
game. It's a good idea to send the team off
in high spirits and make the men feel good
just before their departure. Mass meeings
should have as their motive unity in giving
yells. How can we have unity and team
work in our stands without setting definite
periods to practice and learn them? Fresh­men
have little chance at the beginning of
school to learn the yells before the season
begins. The beginning of school each year
should see two nights each week set aside
for the practice and learning of yells. The
meeting. could be made one hour long and
not interfere with studies. In this respect
a gread deal more uniformity could be ob­tained.

UP UNTIL the year 1931 Auburn has
not had a hotel to be proud of. One
is to be erected in the near future.- It will
be of brick structure about seven stories
high, modern in every respect. The top
story will have a large hall or room set
aside for the use of dances and banquets.
The promoters of this are very considerate
in this respect because a hall for banquets
will fill a long felt need. The hotel in
Opelika has always shown the banquet seek­ers
the best of service and kindest of hospi­tality.
They could not shorten the distance
of seven miles, however. I am sure they
would have made an effort if it had been
possible. Nevertheless I am sure that every­one
will welcome a new and modern hotel
in Auburn.

Of drinking wine, Johnson said: "Wine
gives great pleasure; and every pleasure
is of itself good. It is good unless counter­balanced
by evil. A man may have strong
reasons not to drink wine; and that may
be stronger than pleasure. Wine makes a
man pleased with himself; I do not say
it makes him more pleasing to others. Some­times
it does. But the danger is, that while
growing more pleased with himself, he may
be growing less pleasing to others."—Bos-well's

ON THE SOUTH DOWNS
Over the downs there are birds flying,
Far off glittered the sea,
And toward the north the weald of
Sussex
Lay like a kingdom under me.
I was happier than the larks
That nest on the downs and sing to
the sky—
Over the downs the birds flying'
Were not so happy as I.
It was not you, though you were near
Though you were good to hear and

It was not earth, it was not heaven,
It was myself that sang in me.

Local Chapter U.D.C.
Expresses Sympathy
In the passing of Mrs. Dabney
Bondurant Hare the Admiral Sem-mes
Chapter, U. D. C , has suffered a
great loss. We have given up a
faithful and enthusiastic member;
one who, by her very presence, in-i
spired and encouraged the chapter,
and who in so many ways contribut­ed
to its good. As befitted a mem­ber
of this chapter, she was a true
daughter of the South, born of dis­tinguished
Southern ancestry and
loyal to the traditions of the South,
through liberal in her views towards
other sections.
We shall miss her companionship
and wise counsel.
Therefore, be it resolved that the
sympathy of this chapter be con­veyed
to the family of Mrs. Hare,
and that a copy of these resolutions
be given to the Plainsman and a
copy be spread upon the minutes of
this chapter.

Earth Getting Warmer
Lousanne—(IP)—The earth is
growing slowly warmer and drier, as
it was thousands of years ago during
the inter-glacial period relatively re­cent
geological history, according to
Professor P. L. Mercanton, of the
University of Lausanne.
The professor, who is chairman of
the scientific committee which has
recorded the advance and retreat of
glaciers since 1881, bases his opinion
on the fact that glaciers of the Swiss
Alps have been retreating for a num­ber
of years.
Whether or not this condition of
earth temperature may be confined
to the Alps, or may have some con­nection
with the recent druth on the
other side of the Atlantic cannot be
determined so quickly, weather ^au­thorities
say.
Whether or not the glacier retreat
of the past few years marks a tem­porary
recession, to be replaced in
a few years by an increased advance,
scientists say they are unable to pre­dict.

Auburn Tigers On
Last Lap Starting
With Game Today
With the half-way mark passed on
their 1930 gridiron campaign, the Au­burn
Tigers will start on the final
lap of their schedule. Following
Wofford, comes Tulane, 1929 South­ern
Conference champions; Mississip­pi
A. & M., conquerers of L. S. U.,
who had the record of leading the
nation in scoring; Vonderbilt, winners
from Minnesota; and South Carolina.
The first five games on the Tigers
schedule are now history and every
one who is really interested in Chet
Wynne's team sitting on the football
throne once again is more than satis­fied
with the showings made by Capt.
Harkins and his mates. Overwhelm­ing
odds were against the Plainsmen
in every encounter, but they always
emerged with their banner flying high,
(looking to what looks like a promis­ing
future.
They have been worn out after
hard games with Birmingham-South­ern,
Spring Hill, Florida, Georgia
Tech and Georgia, but they are im­bued
with the'famous Auburn spirit
which means that a team from the
Plains never quits and fights much
harder when the advantage is against
them. Georgia won decisively from
the Tigers, but what team has Geor­gia
played this year that hasn't
crumbled during the final stages of
the game after trying to stop the
hard thrusts of Dowries, Roberts,
Chandler and Dickens for four quar­ters?
Who knows but what the majority
of the five remaining games on the
1930 schedule might not furnish Dixie
football fans with an upset? The sea­son
has already been a success, but
the way the Tigers are fighting to
stage a comeback will merit oranges
instead of lemons in the time to come.
No team can work as hard as the 38
warriors do every afternoon on Drake
Field and not taste victory in their
own midst. The tide always changes.
Sidelights on Game
With U. of Georgia
Jimmy Hitchcock proved in Satur­day's
game with Georgia that he's
something more than just a punter.
Jimmy was "in there" on every play
and showed some of the best all-round
playing by an Auburn man this
year. :
"Frock" Pate who was playing in
the injured Hatfield's place proved to
be 'one of the most outstanding Au­burn
men in the game. His passes
proved to be deadly and his broken
field running threw a scare into the
Georgia several times.
Tom Brown did some pretty line
smashing. His gains which were
mostly over the line were second only
to Hitchcock who led the team in
£otal yards gained. j
Both teams were the same on yard­age
gained from return of kickoffs,
44 being the final yardage returned
for both teams.
The Auburn rats arrived at Muni­cipal
stadium late and instead of the
usual kickoff, the ball was given to
the Georgia rats on Auburn's 30 yard
line.
These rats take their football seri­ously,
as several near-fights were
seen on the field during the game and
penalties were many.
Fumbles were an uncommon occur­ence,
but Auburn took her breaks for
a better advantage than did the
Georgia boys.
Stuart X. Stevenson writing in the
Montgomery Advertiser says that if
there's any truth in a name, Auburn
should have a good flying tackier in
Arial, and Bumpers should be an ex­cellent
fullback.
Burge playing at center for Au­burn
wouldn't budge an inch when
Georgia sent their plays over him.
Auburn to Meet Strong
Tulane Eleven on Next
Saturday in New Orleans
By Adrian Taylor
When the Auburn Tigers meet the
Tulane Green Wave in ole New Or­leans,
on Saturday, Nov 8, they will
be playing one of the strongest teams
in the Southern Conference. The con­ference
champions of last year have
a well balanced and experienced team,
and are making a gallant attempt to
repeat their successful schedule of last
year.
Against Georgia Tech, the Green
Wave showed a team of potential
strength and coordinated perfectly to
rout the Yellow Jackets of Tech. Tu­lane
scoreed four touchdowns, threw
Dunlap for a safety, gained 300 yards
for 9 first downs, and were especially
strong on defense.
Led by Capt. Preacher Roberts, the
team is composed of veterans and bril­liant
Sophomores. The line is almost
intact from that of last year, how­ever,
the backfield presents many new
faces. The flanks are guarded by
two veterans, Holland and Dalyrym-ple.
Both of these men are fighting
for all-Southern berths, and comprise
one of the best pair of ends in the
South.
The tackles are well cared for by
McCance, Upton, DeColigny and Cun­ningham,
and the guard positions are
especially strong, having such men
as Bodenger, Seafide, Magee, and Mc-
Cormick.
Although the. backf ield suffered
some severe losses due to graduation,
Coach Bierman has formed one of the
most powerful backfield combinations
in the South. Zimmerman, powerful
sophomore, has displayed excellent
form in previous games, and has re­ceived
capable assistance from his
running mate, Whatley.
Felts, a newcomer, is making Tu­lane
supporters forget the mighty
Banker. He is running at fullback,
has a powerful drive, and is especial­ly
good on defense. In addition he
is a good punter and passer.
Dawson is capable running the team
at quarterback, and although not as
good as Armstrong, he has played
heady football.
Auburn Team First To
Use Hidden Ball Play
When the Auburn Tigers were mas­ter
of the gridiron world, they intro­duced
many new plays, training meth­ods,
etc., which were quickly grasped
by other schools so that they could
improve their playing, but one trick
that football history credits Pop
Warner with introducing while he
was head coach of the Carlisle In­dians,
was first inaugurated by an
Auburn football team against Van-derbilt
in Nashville .in 1895.
Part of the football tradition at
the Loveliest Village is that the first
hidden-ball trick was worked by ain
Auburn team. Pop Warner, who was
coaching Georgia when the Tigers
were playing Vanderbilt, was a spec­tator
at the Nashville game and saw
the play, and sprang it two years lat­er
as his own while coaching the In­dians.
This trick was first tried by Au­burn's
fifth team. Quarterback Rey­nolds
Tichenor and left halfback Bil­ly
Williams, were the players to in­novate
the trick.
Auburn had worked the ball to the
Commodores 15-yard line, where they
found the going pretty hard by or­dinary
football methods. Then they
bethought themselves of -the new
trick. Tichenor took the ball from
the snapper-back and passed it to
Williams, who quickly rammed it up
under Tichenor's jersey. Tichenor
walked through the line unmolested
and crossed the final white stripe.
However, the hidden ball trick
failed to win the game as Vandy
triumphed, 9 to 6.

Three Lettermen Fight
Hard Foi Their Places
By Elmer G. Salter
Sitting on the bench after winning
letters in 1929 was rather unpleas­ant
to three members of Auburn's
football squad, so they began practic­ing
with nothing in view but to im­prove
their playing, and oust a trio
of sophomores who had stepped in
and grabbed their last season's posi­tions.
Not starting two games was too
much for Chattie Davidson, George
Egge and James Bush, so they set out
with the attitude that all great foot­ball
players should have when they
are momentarily removed from the
varsity lineup. They were determin­ed
to win back their regular berths,
and, started working harder than us­ual.
The result of this small amount of
self-inflicted punishment is that all
are now regulars and will continue to
be in the opening lineup if they still
display the brand of football that
they showed against Florida, Georgia
Tech and Georgia.
Egge and Davidson are former
Montgomery prep school stars and
play end and quarterback, while Bush
did his high school starring with Mur­phy
High in Mobile. Bush plays
guard. All are juniors.

PRACTICABILITY OF
POWER PLANT SHOWN
BY FRENCH INVENTOR
Mantanzas, Cuba—(IP)—After
two failures which. cost his backers
hundreds of thousands of dollars,
Professor Georges Claude, French
scientist has at last demonstrated the
practicability of his electrical power
plant operated by utilizing variations
in temperature of Gulf Stream wa­ters.
As cold water flows from the huge
tube more than 4,000 feet long to the
bottom of the Ocean, warm water
from the surface flows into great
vacuum tanks, where it is converted
into steam because of the lack of pres­sure.
In a short time the steam reaches
such a pressure that the adjacent
tubes begin to revolve, and the cold
water flowing about the vacuum tanks
condenses the steam in one while the
other is filling.
The condensation produces a fresh
vacuum, so that by the time the full
tank is exhausted the other is ready
to begin functioning.
Professor Claude was able to light
40 light bulbs with his strange tur­bine.
'
Observers believe it will mean a
revolution in industrial power meth­ods.

Executive Of Westinghouse
Tells Engineers What They
Must Do After Graduation
By E. H. Sniffin, Assistant to
Vice-Pres. Westinghouse Elec­tric
and Manufacturing Co.
What is the engineering student
going to do when he leaves college?
What is to be his career? Why has he
studied engineering? Is the engineer­ing
profession his objective? Or does
the field of business present the most
attractive possibilities in which engi­neering
knowledge and engineering
training will be of value to him? If
these questions could be pondered and
answered, and answered correctly by
the graduate, how many tragedies
would be spared us of men starting
on the wrong career, of being mis
placed. Many a good engineer has
been spoiled in attempting to be some
thing else, and many a man has re
mained in engineering work who had
the talent for greater world service
in other directions.
There have perhaps been more mis­takes
made in the field of selling than
in any other occupation. That is,
because the average man looks upon
selling as a profession in itself, re­quiring
very definite qualities of
character, personality and tempera­ment,
but rather as perhaps the most
pleasant occupation he could think
of. For what of doing something else,
he could sell. He like the idea of
traveling around the country, meeting
various people, stopping at good ho
tels and in general occuping himself
with the social side of business life
And it is due to this wrong concep­tion
of selling work and to the fact

ON THE CORNER
that so few people realize what' the
requirements of a good salesman, are
that the percentage of real salesmen
is so small. It is a fact that the man­agements
of our large industrial or­ganizations
admit very freely that of
all the men employed in their differ­ent
classes of service, the good sales­man
is the hardest man to find.
Are you a salesman? That is a
very pertinent question. You either
are or you are not. If you have the
inherent ability, then you will need
much training and much experience
to reach your full size. When you
sell you are dealing with men, not
with things. Every man you meet will
be different from every other. You
will not be dealing with a concrete
problem involving known substances,
weights and dimensions, but you will
be dealing with human nature in all
its myriad forms, with a wide re­source.
The result will always be
uncertain, but you must be fond of
this "game of chance", so to speak—
the game of getting men to do what
you want them to do. The books are
full of precepts on salesmanship, but
one thing they fail to say is, that un-eless
you have that love for the chase,
that houndlike instinct for going out
and getting the order knowing how
to win, and also how to lose, feeling
the tremendous lure of the uncertain­ty
of it all, then you will remain in
the rut of mediocrity, and although
you may be called a salesman, you
will be nothing of the kind. What
was it the Man of Galilee said to
Peter and Andrew wen he wanted
them to be His disciples? They were
fishermen. He said, "I will make you
fishers of men". What He meant was
that He had certain great convictions
that were to be implanted in the
hearts and minds of mankind, and he
wanted men who could go out and
plant these convictions. And these
men, believing in their product, and
thrilled with their mission, went out
and fished for men, just as a real
salesman does today. And they had
good preparation for their exalted
salesmanship. They had been fisher­men.
Everyone who fishes, or tries
to catch fish, is not a fisherman. How
many people there are who t ry i t!
They fish for awhile, have little or
no luck, reel in their lines and start
for shore. Your real fisherman hangs
on tries one lure after another; fishes
at different depths; floats over a
shoal and then across a weed-bed;
works the boat close to a sunken rock,
studying the habits of the fish, hav­ing
the time of his life even when
he catches nothing. But he is the
man who brings in the fish. That is
the way a real salesman goes about
his work. He loves to sell. Defeat
doesn't make him sore, doesn't make
him dislike people. The harder they
come, the better he likes them. And
when he gets them, oh boy!
We are speaking of the spirit of
selling, for if the spirit isn't there,
you had better keep out of it. The
salesman was once the fakir in the
bazaar, the trickster. Caveat emptor,
was the philosophy of his calling.
And even .yet we sometimes think
of the salesman as a slick gentleman
whom we must Be careful to watch.
Well, if he gives you that impression,
he is no salesman at all. And don't
you ever try to be a salesman your­self
unless the truth is in you. You
must believe in the things you are
selling; first buy it yourself before
oyu can sell it to others. And your
work of selling is a work of dignity.
.Make it so. You are your company's
voice. Don't forget that. A serious-minded,
good natured, optimistic, en­thusiastic,
imaginative man—that's
what the salesman should be.
But few words are required on the
mental qualities of the salesman, and
on his character and moral qualities.
It goes without saying that he can­not
get very far if people question
his character or if his moral fibre
is at all weak. He is in contact with
all kinds of people, under many dif­ferent
conditions. His working
hours are of necessity irregular. He
is away a good deal and somewhat
removed from the orderly processes
of community life. Compared with
the man who travels to and from his
work at fixed hours, he may find
more opportunity to acquire irregu­lar
or questionable habits, but a good
man can easily stand that test. As
a matter of brains, the more, the bet­ter,
butrgood judgment and common
sense and straight thinking are more
needful than genius. Above all
NATURAL GAS
ADVANCING IN
THIS COUNTRY
Dean Wilmore Predicts The
Continuation of Gas De­velopment
With a gain of 22 per cent last
year over the previous year, the nat­ural
gas industry of the United States
is developing rapidly and Dean John
J. Wilmore, of the School of Engineer­ing
predicts a continuation of this
development. His conclusion is based
upon the facts that natural gas is
higher in value and i t is in the hands
of men who are experts in managing
and directing a business of this kind.
Statistics on the industry were re­ceived
from the Bureau of Mines of
the U. S. Department of Commerce
showing that during 1929 a total of
1,917,693,000,000 cubic feet of gas was
produced and marketed. This repre­sents
a gain of 22 per cent over the
1928 production as compared with an
increased of 8 per cent for 1928 over
1927, and with an average annual in­crease
of 10 per cent for the past 10
years.
Completion of a number of new
distrbuting systems made possible this
rapid expansion of the industry. Dur­ing
1929 and to date in 1930 Ala­bama
has had a conspicuous part in
the extension of distributing sys­tems.
Consumption in the United States
in 1929 was divided between 359,853,-
000,000 cubic feet, or 19 per cent, for
domestic purposes and 1,557,598,000,-
000 cubic feet, or 81 per cent for all
industrial purposes. The industrial
consumption included the following
items: 705,083,000,000 cubic feet, or
45 per cent, used for field purposes,
that is, as a fuel for boilers and en­gines
in oil and gas field operations,
and for operating natural gasoline
plants; 261,107,000,000 cubic feet, or
17 per cent burned in the manufac­ture
of carbon black; 112,707,000,000
cubic feet, or 7 per cent, burned, as
fuel at petroleum refineries and 374,-
972,000,000 cubic feet, or 24 per cent,
used for general industrial purposes.
Texas, by virture of a 54 per cent
gain in output, because, for the first
time, the leading natural gas produc­ing
state. This resulted primarily
from a material increase in produc­tion
in the Panhandle area. Oklaho­ma
was second, with California third,
but the latter state showed greater
annual increase than Oklahoma. Both
Louisiana and West Virginia, which
rank fourth and fifth respectively,
reported increases in output in 1929.
Some' of the other states—notably
Kentucky, Montana, Michigan and
New Mexico—made material gains in
output in 1929.
The gas burned for domestic con­sumption
in' the United States in
1929 was valued at a total of $223,-
172,000 or an average of 62.0. cents
per thousand cubic feet, the same as
the average reported for 1928. This
is the first time since 1908 that the
average annual price has not increas­ed
over the preceding year. In only
one state, Michigan, was the aver­age
value above $1.00 per thousand
cubic feet in 1929. Domestic consum­ers
in West Virginia paid the lowest
price for gas—34.6 per thousand cu­bic
feet.

things, know your product and its
uses. Be a student of the economics
of your business? Make yourself so
interesting and so helpful to the pur­chaser
that you will naturally pre­vail

surprise you how many of them will

So it gets back to the first question,
are you to be an engineer or a com­mercial
man, or perhaps a salesman
in an engineering business? Some
engineers are good business men, and
are better engineers for it. And in
an engineering business at least it
would be hard to exercise good busi­ness
judgment without having sound
engineering knowledge. But a man
usually excels in one direction or the
other. If your talents and taste lie
toward engineering, don't treat them
lightly, for it is a great profession,
and worthy of any one's ambition if
he can excel in it. It is no less true,
however, that the occupation of sell­ing
requires just as definite qualities

power can only be exerted in the kind
of work that you are best fit.
The new aeronautical engineering
course inaugurated at the beginning
of this session at Auburn grew out
of persistent demands for aeronau­tical
training. President Bradford
Knapp in announcing the new course
last June said, "It is another step
being made by Alabama Polytechnic
Institute to meet the demands for
service and to keep ahead of the times
in all lines of service which Auburn
should and can render to the people
of Alabama."
It is significant that within a month
after the announcement of the course,
the Post Office Department called for
bids on a new "transcontinental air­line
whose route crosses Alabama.
This southern coast-to-coast line is
now in operation with daily mail,
passenger, and express service over
what experts claim to be America's
greatest aerial highway. The mild
climate of the southern states over
which this new commercial artery of
the skies passes enables the planes to
operate with all year around uninter­rupted
service and over this route
will flow mail, passengers and express
to Mexico and Central America as well
as to the West Coast.
Alabama has played an important
part in air transporttion since its
inception by furnishing a substantial
portion of the mercerized cotton cov­ers
used on airplane wings and fuseT
lages. With American commercial
aviation expanding and increasing in
the face of business condition which
have been ruinous to many indus­tries
its future appears entirely sound
and it is logical to expect that as this
steady growth continues the demand
for aircraft fabric will provide an
appreciable outlet for Alabama's cot­ton
and will tend to increase the pro­duction
of our mills.
Aviation appears to have passed
through its experimental and exploi­tation
phase and to have found its
bearing completely. There are in the
U. S. at this present time more than
nine million scheduled miles of fly­ing
per year, thousands of student
flieps receiving instruction, and a to­tal
of over fourteen hundred airports
in operation. It can be truly said
that aviation has come to have a great
influence on the business and indus­try
of the entire country'.
The engineering profession can
justly share the credit for the re­markable
progress of aviation and the
plans for further advancement should
include the training of young men
with the capacity to become aeronau­tical
engineers. Eleven universities
and colleges are now offering courses
leading to a degree in aeronautical
engineering, but, with the aviation
industry still enlarging at a rapid
rate, there seems no reason to fear
an overabundance of trained aeronau­tical
engineers. The complexity of the
airplane and its engine and the lead­ership
insures that aviation will al­ways
have a close and direct interest
in the graduates of recognized engi­neering
colleges.
Forty-six of Auburn's juniors and
seniors are now taking the aeronau­tical
course which is offered as an
option in the Mechanical Engineering
Department. The course is being giv­en
by Lieut. Volney C. Finch, former­ly
aviation engineering officer and

Bryn Mawr, Pa.—(IP)—Morality
for its own sake is no longer in vogue,
believes Dr. Hornell Hart, professor
of social economy at Bryn Mawr Col­lege
here. Of this he says:
"We are through with the worship
of any arbitrary ideal. Let us dis­avow,
frankly and emphatically, some
of the old conceptions. Morality for
its own sake has no claim upon us.
"Orderliness, obedience, conformity,
chastity, monogamy—such ideals are
valid only if they promote deeper and
more vital values—if they call out
to the full possibilities of the self,
only if they make for rich, intense,
growing, creative experience.
"The question should be, not "how
can we prevent people from having
sex experience not consistent with
traditional morals?" but "how can we
aid people who seek fulfillment of
personality to establish in their own
lives those patterns of sex behavior
which will bring to them and their
associates the fullest and richest ex­perience?"

They shut the door on hybrid styles
Quantity production of equipment has long
been practiced by the telephone industry.
Telephone designers years ago shut the door
on many hybrid styles—seeking first to work
out instruments which could best transmit the
voice, then making these few types in great
quantities.
This standardization made possible concen­trated
study of manufacturing processes, and
steady improvement of them. For example, the
production of 15,000,000 switchboard lamps a
year, all of one type, led to the development
of a highly special machine which does in a
few minutes what once took an hour.
Manufacturing engineers, with their early
start in applying these ideas, have been able to
develop methods which in many cases have be­come
industrial models. The opportunity is there!

DAVIS CLEARS UP RUMORS
CONCERNING BROADCAST QF
GAMES OVER STATION WAPI
Some men look to their wives for
inspiration, and others for consola­tion.
By studying the past we can get
a pretty accurate idea of the future.
(Continued from page 1)
Faced with this situation, we made
a special arrangement with stations
WBRC in Birmingham and WSFA
in Montgomery to broadcast the Au-burn-
Wofford game. Therefore, sta­tion
WAPI did all that was possible
under the circumstances.
A division of time which requires
WAPI to leave the air at 9 o'clock
Friday evenings prevented our broad­casting
the Auburn-Southern game.
We did our best to schedule it but
it simply could not be done.
In making our arrangements for
football broadcasting at the begin­ning
of this season we were faced
with the fact that "only four of the
Auburn games of 1930 were sched­uled
within the State of Alabama. If
station WAPI had been broadcasting
only Auburn games the finances of
the station would have prevented
broadcasting more than telegraphic
reports of games played in New Or­leans,
Jacksonville, Nashville, Colum­bus,
and Atlanta. The station is op­erating
on a very limited budget, and
leasing wires for field-side broadcast­ing
is very expensive. In fact it is
surprisingly expensive to one not fa­miliar
with it.
In football broadcasting each fall
we are in a position similar to that
of a card player. We must play
the hand as it is dealt to us, keeping
in mind our financial limitations.
Our field-side broadcasting is limited
to games played in Birmingham and
near our wire connections with the
exception of games sent to us by
the NBC network. Outside of this
we are limited to telegraphic reports.
Counting all types of broadcasting
we are handling this fall exactly as
many Auburn games as University
games.
Therefore, criticism is unwarrant­ed
because we are making the best
of the situation and of our means,
