Game
HARD GAME EXPECTED
Tigers Are Again Rounding In­to
Condition
Auburn will make her last home
stand of the current season Saturday
afternoon when she meets the Wof­ford
Terriers at 2:30 on Drake Field.
The initial home tilt for the Tigers
was against Spring Hill, which re­sulted
in the Wynnemen winning, 13
to 0, but on paper, it looks like the
Plainsman Terrier battle will be one
of the most bitterly fought contests
on Auburn's 1930 schedule.
Wofford is located at Spartanburg,
and is one of the leading teams in
the S. I. A. A. The teams from this
association are feared by the Bengals
because they have only split even in
clashes with Birmingham-Southern
and Spring Hill. The South Caro­lina
school has a .500 rating in their
circuit, having won one game and lost
one.
The Auburn coaches realize that
they have a tough game for their pro­teges
Saturday because Wofford made
such a wonderful showing against
Duke in their last game. Duke, who
had previously won from Navy, 18 to
0, was barely able to defeat the Spar­tanburg
institution when they dedl
cated their new stadium, the result

Educational Bureau
To Publish Bulletins
Manuscripts for three bulletins to
be published by the Bureau of Educa­tional
Service have been completed,
~~Dr. Knapp announced today. These
bulletins will be published in accord­ance
with the policy of this institu­tion—
to render special service to
teachers, and particularly to the
school principals and superintendents.
Dr. Knapp says that other bulletins
will be published from time to time
by the bureau.
The first of the bulletins to be pub­lished
will be "Outlines For the Sur­vey
of a Local School System." This
study was prepared by Dr. R. L.
Johns and members of the graduate
classes in Education.
The second of these bulletins was
prepared by Dr. Paul Irvine and a
group of graduate students. Its title
is "Auburn Test For Agricultural In­formation—
Field Crops—Form "A".
In his letter of transmittal of the
publication, Dean Judd, director of
the Bureau, writes to Dr. Knapp:
"This test promises to be a distinct
aid to more purposeful and more ef­ficient
teaching in the field of Vo­cational
Agriculture."
Copies of this test have already been
mailed out to the directors of Voca­tional
Education in the Southern
States and commendatory letters have
been received by the bureau. Mr. E.
B. Mathews, state director of Voca­tional
Education in Arkansas, writes:
"I have read carefully the 'Auburn
Test for Agricultural Information'
and feel that this is a very valuable
contribution to the cause of vocation­al
agriculture and I would be pleased
to see wide use made of it."
The third of the manuscripts was
sponsored by Dr. Paul Irvine through
a graduate seminar under the title
of "Exploratory Occupational Stud­ies."
TWO MOBILIANS
ARE WINNERS OF
RADIOJUDITION
To Represent Alabama In The
Dixie Finals In November
FINALS IN DECEMBER
Cash and Musical Scholarships
to Be Given Winners
Alabama winners in the Atwater
Kent radio audition of 1930 are Thel-ma
Verneuille and Martin Stevenson
Ellis, each of Mobile. Names of these
were announced here Saturday by P.
O. Davis, state manager of the audi­tion,
upon receiving a report of the
count of ballots cast by judges and
by the radio audience. Judges' bal­lots
counted for sixty points and the
audience forty.
For the young ladies Mary Evans
Rose of Tuscaloosa and Eve Girardie
Couilette were second and third. For
the young men second and third were
won by Mayer Ullman Newfield, a
student at the University of Alabama,
and Milton Smith of Birmingham.
Miss Verneuille and Mr. Ellis will
represent Alabama in the Dixie finals
to be broadcast over a network of
southern stations in November. The
winners in this audition will go to
the national finals which will be
broadcast in December from New
York by the National Broadcasting
Co. Each contestant in the national
finals will receive a large cash award
and also tuition at a leading conser­vatory
of music.
This is the second State audition
victory for Miss Verneuille. Last
year she was first in Alabama and
second in the Dixie audition. She
is a blind singer with a soprano voice
of great promise.
Ellis is having his first experience
in the Atwater Kent Audition. He
has a tenor voice which promises
much development.
Before entering the Station audi­tion
Miss Verneuille and Mr. Ellis
were winners in the Mobile County
audition in which many good voices
were heard. Mrs. J. Lloyd Abbot was
chairman of the Mobile County com­mittee.
The Alabama audition was broad­cast
from station WAPI in Birming­ham,
October 19th when nineteen
young ladies and sixteen young men
participated. Each of these repre­sented
either a county or an educa­tional
institution.
The eyes of all Alabama will now
turn to the two Mobile singers in their
contest for Dixie and national hon­ors.
Auburn was represented in the state
audition by Miss Ruth Frisbie, who
graduated this year and who is now
teaching in the Washington County
High School at Chatom. She was
one of the eight young ladies who
entered the state finals.
Cross Country Team
To Meet Tech Friday
Auburn's 1930 cross country team
will open their 1930 schedule Friday
afternoon, meeting the Georgia Tech
harriers over a five mile course here.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell, who is also

eleven, has been busy trying to keep
the moleskin wearers in condition.
He has also issued instructions to the
cross country candidates every after­noon
and has kept them working at
a fast pace since practice started in
September.
No runners with sensatiortal rec­ords
• are listed on the Tiger'steam,
but a well-balanced team is expected
to face the Jacket distance men in
the season's curtain raiser for the
Plainsmen.
The runners who have looked the
best in practices and who Coach Hut-sell
will use against Tech are: Jo­seph
Plant, Birmingham; Clarence
Roberts, Wylam; Marshall Caley,
Marion Junction; James and William
McQueen, Tallassee; Howard Pitts,
Pittsview, and Elton Huff, Brun-didge.

DR. HERTY STRESSES
IMPORTANCE OF DYE
INDUSTRY IN LECTURE
Chemistry Faculty and Studes
Hear Professor In Month­l
y Lecture
IS NATIONALLY KNOWN
Traces History and Growth of
American Dye Industry
How the dye industry has contribut­ed
to the health, wealth, comfort, and
security of the nation was a story
told here today by Dr. Charles H.
Herty, nationally known chemist and
industrial consultant, in his month­ly
lecture as a member of Auburn's
faculty. Dr. Herty spoke to students
and faculty of the school of chemistry
and pharmacy.
He explained that intermediate
chemical compounds made in the man
ufacture of dye from coal tar can
also be made into gas_ for use in war
fare, medicines, perfumes, flavoring,
and other products. The manufacture
of all these things in America was
brought about through development of
the dye industry, he said.
He called the dye industry the fath­er
of industrial research in the Unit­ed
States, pointing out that it has
made and is making a great indirect
contribution of the spirit of research
The American dye industry was
born during the World War when it
became impossible to get dyes from
Germany, he said. At that time there
was only one dye plant in America,
but last year 110,000,000 pounds of
dyes were made in the United States.
This was not only an ample supply
for the United States but of it 34,-
000,000 pounds were exported.
The chemist said that the dyes made
in America were equal in quality to
those made anywhere in the world.
He mentioned that the dye indus­t
ry has brought about popularization
of the chemist and his work. Bril­liant
colors, the result of a chemist's
research, have attracted the attention
of the masses to the chemist, he ex­plained.

'A' Club To Sponsor
Dance Saturday Night
A dance to be sponsored by the
"A" Club Saturday night will be a
feature of the week-end activities.
The music for this occasion is to
be furnished by The Auburn Knights,
a student orchestra which will make
its debut to Auburn dance enthusias-tics
at that time. They have been
playing popular numbers over radio
station WSFA of Montgomery, and
will continue to do so until their con­tract
expires.
This will be the second dance held
under the auspices of the "A" Club
this season. Inasmuch as it is the
first dance in several weeks, many
are expected to attend.
Following shortly after the after­noon
football game, the affair will
take place in the gym starting at
nine o'clock and ending at twelve, ac­cording
to announcements.
The dance is to be given in honor
of the visiting football team and oth­er-'
Wofford visitors who have come

Lions Club Supports
Educational Project
A projected plan to accumulate
enough funds to enable all rural
public schools in Alabama to continue
operation through the regular nine
month school term was presented to
the Lions Club in a letter from J. M.
Dombhart, chairman of the State
Committee on Rural Schools in Ala­bama,
at the regular meeting of the
club held in the Thomas Hotel Tues­day
at noon. Lt. C. P. Townsley, in
summarizing the contents of the let­ter,
explained that an appeal was
made to the civic clubs of the state
to elect delegates to meet and discuss
plans for raising the necessary funds
for carrying on the proposed educa­tional
project. Townsley also point­ed
out that each civic club in the
various counties was invited to send
one delegate to serve on the commit­tee.
E. F. Cauthen was elected to
represent the Auburn Lions Club.
Townsley, winner of the Lions
Club's driving contest held recently,
gave some of the highlights of the
event, and stated that the proceeds
derived from the tournament would
be contributed to the library fund.
He also congratulated H. W. Nixon
for his work in suggesting numerous
plans for raising money for the libra­ry
fund.
The president of the club remind­ed
the members that information
regarding the number of Lions who
are going to bring their wives to the
American Legion barbecue to be held
Nov. 11 would be collected at the
next meeting.
Charles Edwards postponed his
speeches on the county library and
student loan projects until the next
meeting of the club.
The meeting was concluded with
announcements regarding the horse
shoe tournament, now being carried
on by the club. It was stated that
the finals would be held tonight at
7 o'clock, and members desiring to
compete were urged to take part in
the contest.
A food special, which will -consist
of an advertisement of each of the
leading grocery stores in Auburn, is
to be featured in the advertising
section of the Plainsman for the next
ten weeks. It is the object of this
feature to give the grocers of Au­burn
a chance to put before the pub­lic
in the most convenient manner
possible any special prices that might
be of interest to Auburn shoppers.
According to several grocerymen who
are going to advertise in this sec­tion,
it will pay all those interested
in the purchase of groceries to watch
these special advertisements. The
present plan is to make each week­end
a time for special bargains, and
if carried out as expected it will
prove a big saving for the house­keepers
of Auburn.
Auburn Alumnus Has
Unusual Experience
"Y" Cabinet Members
Meet Sunday Morning
Members of the Y. M. C. A. Cabi­net
met at the Brewer Hotel Sunday
morning for the regular cabinet
breakfast. Informal talks were made
by Eugene Gray, Bob Sansing, George
Williamson, Joe Plant, and Cleveland
Adams concerning the purpose of
the organization and the plans for the
year. The officers and chairmen of
the discussion groups reported the
work being done on the campus by
their groups.
It is the custom of the Cabinet
members to have breakfast together
as often as possible for inspirational
and fellowship purposes.
Within a few months after begin­ning
work at the Bell Telephone Lab­oratories
in New York City, Paul
Brake, who graduated here in elec­trical
engineering with the class of
1930, has had an unusual experience,
according to the current isue of the
Bell Laboratories Record. A story
about his -experience is related as
follows:
"BLIMP DESCRIBES CUP RACES
OVER TWO-WAY EQUIPMENT
"Flying above the International
Yacht Races off Newport between
the American the American cup de­fender,
Enterprise, and Sir Thpmas
Lipton's yacht, Shamrock V, the
Goodyear blimp, Defender, reported
the progress of the race through
standard two-way radio-telephone
equipment installed by Laboratories
engineers. The apparatus which con­sists
of an 8-A Radio Transmitter and
9-B Radio Receiver, with battery and
dynamotor power supply, was install­ed
at the Navy hangar at Lakehurst.
"The equipment is portable, re­quiring
twenty minutes to install and
ten minutes to take out. A trailing
wire antenna was used. Those in
charge of the work consisted of D.
B. McKey, F. C. Ward, Paul Brake
and W. A. Funda. During the latter
part of August Mr. McKey with Cap­tain
A. R. Brooks journeyed to Ak­ron
to inspect the blemp previous to
the installation of the two-way equip­ment."
Young Brake came to Auburn with
his mother from Hartselle. He spent
four years in Auburn as a student,
during which he made a splendid
record. The professors under whom
he had work were impressed with
his alertness and also with his ability
and energy.

Tau Omega Chi was organized as
a local fraternity in 1923, with a
chapter later being established at the
University of Alabama. The inter-fraternitl
basketball tournament has
been won the last two years by Tau
Omega Chi, and the "Go to Church"
contest was won by this chapter year
before last. S. W. McGinn,ess, the
national president, and J. N. Dane-hower,

MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION
This week-end will find the Auburn Tig­ers
playing their second campus game of
the year on Drake Field. Due to the ex­cellent
showing that they have made in the
past few games there will undoubtedly be
an unusually large number of visitors and
old graduates on the campus Saturday.
Many people will be making their first
visits to the loveliest village, and conse­quently,
will 'form their first and most last­ing
impressions while here. The student
body should do everything it can to make
this impression a good one.
It will not be necessary to act in any un­usual
manner, to do this. All that has to be
done is to keep to the same normal level
that is evidenced throughout the week. Too
often people, in trying to make good show­ings,
make the mistake of doing things in
such an unusual manner that, instead of
making good impressions, the opposite ef­fect
is secured.
The Plainsman feels sure that if every
member of the student body will try to keep
things running as they always do the visi­tors
will leave Auburn having secured an
impression that will reflect only credit on
the school.
THE GOVERNOR'S REVIEW
The last issue of this paper carried a
news story concerning the announcement
•
of a special review to be held on Saturday
in honor of His Excellency, Bibb Graves,
Governor of Alabama. This will be the
last review to be staged for the governor.
In view of the interest that Governor
Graves has always manifested not only in
the R. O. T. C. unit here but in Auburn as
a whole, it is the duty of every student en­rolled
in the unit to put forth every ef­fort
possible to make this review Saturday
one of the best ever held.
Governor Graves has witnessed a num­ber
of reviews of the unit during his term
of office and has been very unstinting in
his praise of the formations.
In the past four years, Auburn has ex­panded
more than during any other period
of her existance, and this expansion has
been made possible only through the excel­lent
cooperation given the college authori­ties
by the Governor.
Now that all the uniforms have come in,
it is possible to put on the best review of
the year if the students will cooperate with
the War Department by having their uni­forms
neatly pressed and cleaned by Sat­urday.
One of the best ways to show the appre­ciation
that Auburn has for the governor
is to have a review Saturday that will al­ways
be carried in his memory as the best
ever to be held in his honor.
SEND THE BAND AND CHEER­LEADERS
TO NEW ORLEANS
One of the games in which Auburn has
always played her best is the annual af­fair
with Tulane University in New Or­leans.
It will be held this year on No­vember
8.
It is hoped that this year, as in the past,
the Auburn Band will be sent (o New Or­leans
for the game. The band has been
sent in former years by the study body vot­ing
to contribute a small amount from the
contingent fees.
The presence of the musical body adds
immensely to the color and popularity of
the game, and Auburn students well know
how bare Auburn cheering sounds when
the band is not present.
To insure a unified cheering section, not
only is the band necessary, but the cheer­leaders
play a most important part.
It has been the custom for the cheer­leaders
to get'to New Orleans in the best
way that they can. No support in the way
of railroad tickets is given them.
There have always been one or more
cheerleaders to attend the Tulane game.
They have gotten to New Orleans in a
manner well known to Auburn students.
Why not send them with the band?
The Plainsman suggests that when the
student body votes on the question of send­ing
the band to New Orleans, the Auburn
cheerleaders will be included among those
to be given railroad tickets. If fifty bands­men
are to be sent, three more men will
make very little difference in the amount to
be deducted from the contingent fees.

Why is it that contemporary writers
continue to argue over the already trite
doctrine of Humanism? This new religion
might succeeed did it not seem so weak
and lifeless. It appears to lack a dyna­mic
forces so necessary to the perpetra­tion
of any religious faith. Although Hu­manism
is taken by many as a new thing,
its principles are by no means original;
the living of the physical life governed
and controlled by a predominant intellect
is an underlying principle of ideal philo­sophy.
However, there is one significant
point about this new religion that impress­es
me most forcefully, and that is the idea
of ethical control. In spite of the mod­ernistic
trend of thought, the deepest
thinkers of today are realizing the signi­ficance
of conservatism and self-control.
The world-famous psychologist and disci­ple
of Freud, Dr. A. A. Brill writes of
ethical control, "As long as civilization en­dures
sex will have to be controlled. Only
imbeciles can believe that one may run
riot with it. Because repression plays a
part in the neuroses, it does not imply that
license in such matters results in perfect
health."
* * * * *
I suppose I should say a word about the
game Saturday. I do not feel discouraged
over the result. I cannot help but feel
that our disabled team played a splendid
game against overwhelming weight and
numbers. The thing to do now is to beat
Wofford.
* * * * * ,
It seems tat the co-eds have a new
champion in our most esteemed Dick Don­ovan.
Some day he will learn that women
are all alike, and we, the wronged misogy­nists,
will initiate into our midst a neo­phyte
from the realm of the accursed pro­fane.
The Gazook
I'm the gazook who never thinks for
myself. I'm nothing but a follower. I can
keep in step, but I can't give commands.
A person like me will never amount to
anything because I never investigate any­thing
for myself. If a problem comes up,
I take anyone's answer. I do not have any
ambition or I would do something.
I know I would be better off if I would
break away from the old "rut". This
brings on more talk. If I break away I'll
have to work. I really don't think it would
be worth while for me to do this, because
I do not stick to anything that I start.
The one good point in agreeing with
everyone is that I'm well liked by every­one.
I know most students do not res­pect
me because I do not think for myself.
I'm my mother's dear little boy, and I'm
going to do just what other people want
me to do.
Saturday I saw two
great games. First,
our freshmen made a
wonderful showing.
When they found they
could do it they play­ed
a great offensive
game against the
G e o r g i a freshmen.
G e o r g i a ' s varsity
team is without doubt
one of the great teams of this whole coun­try.
Crippled as we were and" worn out
by two previous hard games I do not feel
the least bit'discouraged over the showing
made against Georgia. The schedule ahead
is a hard one, but there ought to be some
bright places in it. We must win this game
next Saturday and then turn our attention
to a good showing against Tulane.

One of the poorest things you can get
into is a newspaper controversy. There are
some things said in papers, even in college
papers, which I am often tempted to an­swer,
but sometimes I presume they are said
and intended to be humorous and we had
better let them pass as they are." But the
greatest progress we make in college life
is by understanding that more things are
straightened ten to one by frank personal
conference and constructive effort to set
right things which are not running well or
have gone wrong than generally can be
righted by writing a letter to the press.
The main thing* after all is to make pro­gress
in turning out men and women whose
standards are good, whose ability has been
developed, and whose hearts are in the right
place.
* * *
Last Sunday we had a wonderful golden
text in Sunday School, "Every man that
striveth for the mastery is temperate in
all things." The word "mastery" I think
refers more to - the mastery of one's self,
the control of one's desires, appetites, and
passions. The higher the education the
more advanced the civilization, the more
noble the man, the greater ought to be his
mastery or his self control. I can't help
but think about this when incidents come
up showing how easy it is for the average
man to lose this mastery of himself and
become intemperate, not in the ordinary
acceptation of that word but rather in the
broad acceptation of it. It is a good text
to carry with you.
* * *
Lists of students failing in one or more
subjects are beginning to come to my desk.
Failures result from the difficulty of young
people to realize the true importance of
what, they are doing and the difficulty of
self-mastery in applying themselves to the
task. To some new students who are fail­ing
I would give everything I have to be
able to show them what they will begin to
see twenty years from now and that is the
value of forming the habit 'of application
and of industry. I wish I might impress
them with the fact that they are at a
crisis in their lives. If they can conquer
themselves and win out in this emergency
the rest of the way is clear. If I were
your own father sitting down to talk to
you in the sacred precincts of the family
fireside I would put my hand upon the
failing son and say, as I have often said
before, "now is the time for you to get hold
of yourself, to apply yourself to the task,
and to have the courage, the fortitude, and
the perseverance to go forward and work
out these difficulties". Do not stay away
from your teacher. Go call upon your
Dean, be square and honest with him and
lay all the cards on the table. If you have
not been studying as you should, confess
that fact to him and register there your
determination to overcome these difficul­ties
and make a passing grade at the end
of this semester. It can be done and I am
urging that we do it.
* * *
When I go sometimes between halves and
look into the eyes of these fine fellows on
our team, I can see and feel the character
there is there. Football is a good deal like
life. It takes an honest, conscientious work­er
who is willing to put out all of his
strength and all of his talent to really
amount to anything on the football team
or to amount to anything in life. I like
to look at eyes that have courage in them,
eyes that do not shift but are straight and
steady and honest. There is more in one
look from the fine eyes of a real man and
a real athlete under such circumstances
than all the spoken words you could pos­sibly
muster.
* * *
Next Saturday we are going to have a
big crowd. Let's show them a real time.
Let's show them a real spirit, a real game
of football, and a real victory. I want to
see a victory without any adjectives be­fore
it, no qualifications and no limitations.
I think it will be healthy for old Auburn
to have that kind of victory Saturday and
I am pulling for it.

All American football team for 1930 picked by Ike Lewis and Porter Grant:
L.E.—Swords of Steel; L.T.—Mixture of Concrete; L.G.—Bales of Cotton;
C.—Bed of Roses; R.G.—Tons of Iron; R.T.—Sea of Matrimony; R.E.—Break of
Day; G.B.—Plaster of Paris; L.H.—Milk of Magnesia; R.H.—Spirits of Ammonia;
F.B.—Bank of Auburn.
Swords of Steel can be blocked by no one. He slices through nicely.
Mixture of Concrete was chosen! because of his ability to get in a permanent
defensive position.
It requires five men to move Bales of Cotton.
Bed of Roses is the most pleasant linesman of the season.
At the-other guard Tons of Iron has become a permanent fixture.
Sea of Matrimony is very seldom broken through by anyone.
Break of Day is a very consistant player. The longer he plays the brighter are
his deeds.
Plaster of Paris is the only foreigner on the team. We choose him because of
his ability to stick in his place.
Milk of Magnesia is a very elusive back. He can run through the defensive
team quickly and effectively. « -
Spirits of Ammonia is such a fast man that he can knock out a whole team be­fore
they know it.
For full back we have choosen Bank of Auburn. He is very dependable.

had the pleasure of hearing them on the

the musical element of the campus.

All day long amid the fall of a gentle
rain, like tears, I have thought of my lost
love—the Russian co-ed that drove me to
vodka at an early age. Yet, I am glad,
glad that I know the truth, glad to reflect
on a platonic past and be able to laugh
at those innocent young things that are
still fooling themselves. Co-ed who still
have "crushes", and spend hour? at the
cafeteria gazing on their "secret sorrow".
Auburn men, he men, who moon over sweet
little things and feel that to touch their
lips is to, live a second in heaven. God
made them of the same clay instilled a lit­tle
more deception, and we make an alter

Think of the time college men lose

With Other Colleges
Editor's Note—In reading over the ex­changes
from other colleges, one easily sees
that Auburn is fortunate in having the
backing of most every college student in
the South. People out in the West and up
in the Northeast are watching and hoping
for the return of the Mighty Tiger of yore.
"Next to my own Alma Mater I like Au­burn
best" has been heard throughout the
South by many men in the last year. We
appreciate this encouragement, backing,
and interest. Following are a few clip­pings
from the student paper at Georgia
Tech, each written by a different student,
which are representative of the feeling ov­er
the South in the various colleges:
"Bow down to those Tigers of Auburn,
Players of no little might;
Though they didn't win the game,.
They certainly put up a fight."
"Boy, those Auburn Tigers came pretty
near staging that long expected comeback
last week. They kept me plenty scared
throughout three quarters. I was afraid
that Tech wasn't going to be able to score
at all" during the first two quarters and
then during the last period I literally found
myself praying that the game would end
before the Plainsmen should connect for
a touchdown.
"For the first time in four or five years,
the cheers of the Auburn supporters sound­ed
real and not hollow as if they were
thinking and wishing for the good old days
when the Plainsmen ruled the South on
the gridiron. They simply went wild when
Brown scored that first touchdown and
when Grant raced seventy yards for the
second score to put Auburn in the lead
12-0, well, they just couldn't believe their
eyes.
"Those Auburn supporters are going to
have reason to cheer their team before the
season is over and there's nothing that
will make me feel better."
"Dear Ma:
Well, Ma, the Tiger must have chewed
raw beef and gun powder since their last
advent to Tech. Coach Wynne has work­ed
wonders with this team and the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute seems to be slat­ed
for a comeback in the Southern Confer­ence.
The two point victory looks' small
but it was fought for, and for a while, es­pecially
after the tragic first half, it look­ed
though the claw of the enraged Tiger,
would be stronger .than the sting of-the
Yellow Jacket."
We thank you Tech.

WHILE perusing Elbert Hubbard's
Scrap Book my attention was at­tracted
by a quotation from Sam­uel
Johnson that "No man but a blockhead
ever wrote except for money." This should
prove enlightening to those gentle readers
who disagree with the columnist and yet
are fools enough to devote a part of their
leisure time reading the same columns
periodically. I would^ be interested to
know what Johnson would have said of a
person who continued to read the works of
one known to write without monetary
compensation. Ideas emanating from a
blockhead could hardly be worthy of con­sideration
by the proletariat. Only a com­paratively
few people are foolish enough
to write; many are foolish enough to read.
Mark Twain once said, "Let us be thank­ful
for the fools. But for them the rest
of us could not succeed."
TIE VISITOR to Auburn always departs
with a vivid impression of the lack of
civilized dress so conspicuous among the
students. Some of l|he strangers from
afar get the idea that the Auburn student
lacks the pecuniary means to dress neatly.
This erroneous idea is shared by many
of our visitors and likewise by some of
our faculty members.
I do not intend to enter into a lengthy
discussion of the period of economic de­pression
we are passing through or the
delayed efforts of our Republican admin­istration
to mitigate the financial status
of the country. I do know that it is with­in
the means of every man and woman
on this campus to be neatly attired when
appearing on the streets of the village.
The institution has made ample provision
for the handling of student laundry and
dry cleaning at a minimum . cost. The
laundry fee is compulsory with every stu­dent.
An expensive wardrobe is not a
requisite of the elegant dresser. An old
suit which shows the result of regular
application of brush and pressing iron
is indicative of care. The time-worn ex­cuse
that one has not the money to dress
well is no longer valid.
One of the most conspicuous customs
in Auburn is to wear the vest without
the coat or tie. Another is to appear
with the coat on and no tie. Such habits
are disgustingly slovenly. The student
seems to care nothing whatever about his
personal appearance. (Nothing is more
irritating to me than to see a boy attired
in the R. O. T. C. uniforms with a large
fraternity pin mounted on the outside
blouse. Socks are a rarity. I noticed
in one of my classes last week that out of
eight sets of feet visible only three were
encased in socks. Some of us appear in
knickers without the golf hose. These
various stages of undress we note on the
streets are detrimental to our common
welfare.
The co-eds are not exempt. If there
ever was a group of girls who took very
little interest in their personal appearance
we have them here. If there is anything
more despicable than to see a girl dist,
continue all efforts to look neat I don't
know what it is. The co-eds seems to
lose the charm of her sex and becomes
slovenly. Run-over pumps and tennis
shoes seem to be in vogue. Ye co-ed shuf­fles
down the street with the rhythmic
oscillations of a mud-scow in a heavy sea.
Lacking anything else to do, some of
them have to parade up and down the
street, gazing on a critical world with a
most distinctly bovine expression. I sup­pose
the little things fail to see the neces­sity
of trying to look like somebody in
a small town like Auburn. The boys will
be here whether they look nice or not.
These slovenly habits are due to ig­norance,
carelessness, or a misconceived
idea of democracy. Many of the students
think Auburn is so democratic that one
can dress in just any manner. Othere
exhibit a woeful ignorance of how to
dress. The careless persons are to be
most heartily condemned. There is vast
room for improvement along these lines.

Tigers Fight Gallantly Against Strong
Georgia Team But Lose in Last Half
By Harry Barnes
Fighting to the last minute with
an unbroken "never say die" spirit,
Coach Chet Wynne's Auburn Tigers
went down in defeat at the hands
of Harry Mehre's Georgia Bulldogs
Saturday afternoon at Municiple sta­dium
in Columbus. The final score
was 39-7. Saturday's contest marked
the 35th meeting of the two teams
and also the 12th meeting in Colum­bus.
The almost complete second string
team on the field to open the game,
the Tigers opened up early to start
the scoring festivities. Pate, who
proved to be one of the shining lights
of the game for Auburn, jntercepted
a pass on his own 23 yard line and
ran is back to Georgia's 33 before
being run out of bounds. Hitchcock
made two yards over left tackle,
Brown three over center, and Pate
failed to gain at the line, but on the
fourth down, Pate passed 8 yards to
Hitchcock who ran across the goal
line unmolested. Davidson place-kicked
the extra point.
Georgia came back in the second
period to knot the count at- 7 all.
Candler who entered the game at the
beginning of the second period, took
one of Down's passes and rail for-
Georgia's first score. Chandler also
kicked the goal.
Georgia opened the third period
with a scoring attack which the Ti­gers
were unable to stop before the
final whistle blew. Dickens' plough­ed
through left tackle for six yards
and a touchdown, putting Georgia in
the lead. Smith kicked the extra
point. Shortly after, Chandler took
the ball on Auburn's 22-yard stripe
and advanced the ball across the goal
.line in two plays. This time, Smith's
kick went wild. "Ripper" Roberts
crashed the center of the Tiger line
for 17 yards and the fourth Georgia
score. Smith again kicked the extra
point. The third period ended with
Georgia in the lead, 27 to 7.
The Bulldogs scored two more
times in the final period on two pass­es,
Chandler to Mott, and Brown to
Mott. Georgia used the same drive

Captains Three Major
Teams At Auburn Are
On '30 Football Squad
Captains of three of the four ma­jor
athletic teams at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute are out for foot­ball.
The trio of leaders who are on
Coach Chet Wynne's varsity gridiron
squad are: Dunham Harkins, Captain
of the gridders; Frock Pate, leader
of the baseball team, and Ralph Jor­dan,
captain of the cage quintet.
Harkins leads the Tigers from the
pivot post and is considered by sports
writers as one of the best snapper-backs
in the Southern Conference. His
work this year has ranked him among
the leaders who will be seriously con­sidered
when the mythical all-South­ern
eleven is picked.
Jordan is Captain Harkins' capable
understudy and Pate is about to come
into his own in the ball carrying de­partment,
playing fullback and half­back.

Strong Team On
Drake Field Sat.
By Elmer G. Salter
When the schedule makers arrang­ed
Auburn's 1930 football schedule,
they might have carded the game with
Wofford for November 1 at Auburn
as a breather between the Georgia
and Tulane tilts, but from the im­pressive
record already made by the
South Carolina institution, the Au-burn-
Wofford battle will be one of
the hardest on the Tiger's schedule.
There are not setups for Coach Chet
Wynne's eleven this year.
Wofford is located at Spartanburg
and is one of the leading teams in the
S. I. A. A. They have made impres­sive
showings this season against
Newberry, Clemson, High Point, Wm.
and Mary, Presbyterian and Duke.
They will come to the Cornerstone
still inspired and imbued with the
spirit that they had when they dedi­cated
their new stadium with the Duke
encounter last Saturday.
Representatives from the S. I. A. A.
are always feared by the Plainsmen.
In the two games with members of
this association this year, Capt. Dun­ham
Harkins & Co. have been able
to split only even, losing to Birming­ham-
Southern in the season's opener,
7 to 0 and winning from Spring Hill,
\13 to 0.

With a record of one win, one loss
and one tie for the season, the Au­burn
freshman footballers will meet
their third conference opponent and
their fourth foe of the season Satur­day
in Atlanta when they battle the
Georgia Tech Baby Jackets on Grant
Field.
Under the tutoring of Coaches Jack
Cannon and Weems Baskin* the Tiger
Cubs*have been progressing fast, but
but they have still not shown their
potential power. In the Georgia game;
they failed to get going until the
final quarter. However, they easily
won, 25 to 0 after leading at inter­mission,
6 to 0.
The showing made by the Orange
and Blue frosh in the Georgia tilt
was their best of the year, but it is
not believed by their mentors that
they were at their best by any means.
Some of the players were outstanding
on some plays, and were very erratic
on others. The coaches will try to
remedy this fault this week by issuing
strenuous work until the departure of
the team for Atlanta.
The stars for Auburn in their first
win of the year were: Devane Bum­pers,
fullback; Clinton "Sherlock"
Holmes, tackle; .Fred Burge, center;
Allan Rogers, Willis Phipps and Ca­sey
Kimbrough, halfbacks; David
Ariail, end, and Thos. Head, quarter­back.
Holmes, 230 pound tackle, easily
did his share of tackling on plays run
on his side of the line, while Ariail
and Burge also did some nice work
in the forward wall. Burge was play­ing
his first game at center, being
shifted to this post wherTthe regular
pivot man was ruled ineligible for the
year, but performed like at veteran.
The runs made by Phipps and Kim­brough
were the prettiest of the game.
The former annexed the first touch­down
on a 55 yard jaunt off tackle
and scored again when he ran behind
perfect interference for 12 yards and
six points. Kimbrough's two gallops
for touchdowns were both from mid-field
after catching two perfectly
thrown and timed passes from Rogers.
On both occasions, after retrieving the
pigskin out of the ozone, Kimbrough

Auburn Frosh Show Form in Turning
Back Georgia Bullpups 25-0 Saturday
By Harry Barnes
. Auburn's freshmen Tigers turned
back the Georgia Bullpups Saturday
morning to the tune of 25 to 0. It
will be remembered that the Georgia
rats of last season defeated the baby
Tigers of 1929 by the same score.
The game was a hard fought af­fair
throughout, with Auburn show­ing
up better and better as the game
progressed. The game was marked by
many fumbles on both sides and sev­eral
fights were stopped by referee
Paterson when he ruled players from
both teams out of the game.
Phipps started the scoring off for
Auburn when he raced 55 yards thru
several would-be tacklers for a touch­down.
The place kick went wild.
A beautiful pass, Neal to Phipps
gave Auburn 28 yards and a first
down on the Georgia 12-yard stripe.
One the next play, Phipps skirted his
right end for a touchdown. Neal's
pass for the extra point was ground­ed.
The next and final touchdowns
came within four minutes of each
other from practically the same
position on the field and on the same'
play which proved to be a nemesis
for the Bullpups. Kimbrell took a
10 yard pass from Roger's, cut back,
went through three would-be tacklers
and raced 45 yards to the goal. He

QUICK SERVICE
YOU don't have to be an ath­lete
to get "Athlete's Foot."
Men who do their daily dozen in
the library giving the old bean a
big workout; and the boys who
do a mental marathon in class
but never try for the track—as
•well as those who really do give
their muscles to Alma Mater—
any and all are just so much good
red meat to the tiny germ which
has spread this ringworm infec­tion
everywhere. Tinea tricho­phyton
is its name and it's the
cause of "Athlete's Foot."
In universities from Pennsyl­vania
to California, it has been
found that 50% of the men have
it. The U. S. Health Service has
reported that "at least half of
all adults suffer from i t at some
time." Co-eds are not immune
from this trouble, either.
It lurks in the very places
where we all go for cleanliness
and health — on the edges of
swimming pools and showers—
in gymnasiums—on locker- and
dressing-room floors. In spite of
modern sanitation (you have to
boil socks 15 minutes to kill it)
this fungus parasite infects and
re-infects bare feet almost any
time they come in contact with
damp floors.
Absorbine Jr. kills the
germ of
"ATHLETE'S FOOT"
Tests in a famous New York
"lab" have revealed that Absor­bine
Jr. penetrates flesh-like
tissues deeply and that wher­ever
it penetrates, it KILLS the
ringworm germ.
It might not be a bad idea to
examine your feet tonight. At
the first sign of redness between
toes, itching, peeling or blisters,
douse on Absorbine Jr., and
keep a bottle handy in your
locker as a preventive. Use it
after every exposure of bare
feet on damp floors. At all
druggists—$1.25. W. F. Young,

being 14 to 0.
Coach Jimmy De Hart started his
varsity against the Terriers and had
to keep them in the thick of the fight
for sixty minutes. The Terriers are
expected to invade the Plains imbued
with the same fight that they showed
when they faced Duke.
Jimmie Hitchcock, Auburn halfback
and star punter, will have to be at
his best if he outkicks Cox, Wofford
halfback and kicker. Cox sent spirals
down the field, against Duke, that
were always in the neighborhood of
the mid-century mark.
In Loren King, Speake, Jackson and
Capt. Gleaton, the Terriers boast of
four of the leading moleskin wear­ers
in South Carolina. They have
starred in every game played by Wof­ford
this season, and are expected
to continue their favorable work Sat­urday.
The Plainsmen will have to be at
their best if they win from the in­vaders
from the Palmetto State.
The schedule makers might have
carded the Wofford game to give the
Plainsmen a breathing spell between
the Georgia and Tulane tilts, but it
has turned out to be just the opposite.
If the Orange and Blue eleven does
not throw off this view, they probably
will suffer their second defeat of the
season from an S. I. A. A. foe.
Much defensive work will be given
the Tigers this week as their tackling
in the Georgia game was considerably
off. The linemen failed to down the
Bulldog ball carriers like they did the
Florida and Georgia Tech backs. Most
of the tackling done by Auburn in
Columbus was by the rear work per­formers.
Especially did Tom Brown
and Jimmie Hitchcock shine on the
defense as well as on the offense.
The starting backfield against Wof­ford
probably will be Davidson at
quarter; Pate at left half; Hitchcock
at right half, and Brown at fullback.
This quartet annexed the first touch­down
of the game in the Georgia
fracas, and really looked good the first
half. They were not a t ' their best
the final half because relief could
not be sent them by Coach Wynne
without weakening the team.
It is very doubtful if Lindley Hat­field,
regular left half, will be able
to play again until the Tigers tackle
Tulane in New Orleans, November
8. Coach Wynne will not take any
chances of losing him for the year
since Pate is performing so well in
his place. It was Pate and Hitch­cock
who annexed Auburn's first
touchdown on Georgia since 1926.

Student Loans Made
Possible By Alumni
The Auburn Alumni Association
has adopted a plan for raising money
for student loans, scholarships, and
other purposes. On July 15, 1930,
the Alumni _ Association made an
agreement with the All States Life
Insurance Company, Montgomery,
Alabama, for writing insurance on a
plan offered by that company. This
plan provides for the payment of
dividends on the insurance to the in­stitution,
the face of the policy being'
paid to the insured at its expiration,
or to the beneficiary at the death of
the insured. It is understood that
the contract does not keep alumni
from dealing through any company
other than the All States if they
wish, but they cannot use the special
form of policy to which the All States
has prior rights.
Under this plan the association has
already raised $3,000 and has pros­pects
of still greater results in the
near future. President Knapp gives
his approval to the plan in these
words: "I feel that the Alumni and
friends of this institution will be
warranted in making such invest­ments
where the dividends might be
assigned for the purpose of helping
worthy students through this insti­tution.
The Alumni Association of
Auburn is doing a worthy work in
pushing this plan."

where h,e passed to Hitchcock for Au­burn's
only score. He also made some
nice gains through the line.
Davidson, playing at quarter for
Auburrt ran the team well and on
several occasions outsmarted the
Georgians for neat gains;
Hitchcock played his usual brilliant

VARSITY TO MEET STRONG
TEAM ON DRAKE FIELD
(Continued from page 3)
Saturday's engagement with the
Palmetto state boys will be the final
one for the Orange and Blue eleven
at home this year. There is a lot
of praying and hoping that the Ben­gals
close their playing season on
Drake Field like they did when they
opened it with a two touchdown vic­tory
over Spring Hill, October 4. In­cidentally,
that was the first and last
victory for this year's machine, and
they have tasted near victory long
enough to make them want a more
luscious meal.
on Grant Field Saturday will be:
Ariail and Huggins, ends; Holmes and
Garris, tackles; Woodall and Cham-bless,'
guards; Burge, center; Head,
quarterback; Phipps and Neal, half­backs,
and Bumpers, fullback.

The injured players who were un­able
to start against Georgia or were
used very little, probably will be in
good condition against Wofford.
Coach Wynne will use his full
strength against the invaders from
the Atlantic seaboard, even if the Tu­lane
affair follows.
However, it is very doubtful if Lind­ley
Hatfield, regular halfback, will be
used in the Wofford game with the
1929 Southern Conference champions*
on Docket for November 8 in New
Orleans. Hatfield is still bothered
with a knee injury received in the
Georgia Tech fracas.
The Tigers will be meeting Wofford
for the first time on the gridiron.
They have played Clemson, North Car­olina
and other teams on the Sea­board,
but they have yet to engage
the Spartanburg team in battle.
Another South Carolina eleven will
be faced for the initial time when the
Wynnemen meet the University of
South Carolina Gamecocks in Colum­bus,
Ga., Thanksgiving. The Turkey
Day skirmish is expected to be one
of the hardest fought in the confer­ence
as Billy Laval has an outstand­ing
team in fact reports say that it
is the strongest team that he has had
since taking over the-coaching reins
at the university three years ago.
