Beautiful $185,000 Textile Engineering Building Nears Completion
BUILDING TOirREADY FOR
OCCUPANCY AT EARLY DATE
Alabama Textile Industry And
Institute To Take Signifi­cant
Step
NEW EQUIPMENT TO BE
INSTALLED VERY SOON
Building Is Said To Be One Of
Best Equipped In
Nation
THREE ARE ON FACULTY
Professor E. W. Camp Is Head
Of N e w Addition To Cam­pus
Schools
The rapidly expanding textile in­dustry
of Alabama and the ever-grow­ing
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
both take a significant step forward
this week as the finishing torches are
given to the new Textile Engineering
Building on the Auburn campus.
Because of a need for trained lead­ers
arising out of the textile growth,
the magnificent new structure here
was erected and will be equipped at
a cost of approximately $185,000.00.
With completion of the building work
will begin on installation of new
equipment for the manufacture of
fabrics from cotton, silk, wool, and
rayon. Students will learn the intri­cate
processes by doing actual work
in the laboratories.
Concrete evidence that Alabama
needs the building is the fact that
her textile industry continues to make
notable strides. The latest figures
show 1,178,436 active cotton spindles
in the state. This is four times as
many as in 1900 and nearly twice as
many as in 1910 when the figure was
952,643. These figures show that
Alabama is playing her part beside
her sister states of the South who
have assumed undisputed leadership
of the nation's textile industry. The
South now consumes more than 72
per cent of all the cotton used in
American mills.
The value of the products produced
annually by the 126 Alabama plants
..amounts to more than $90,000,000.00.
This is a concrete example of a
state educational institution expand-its
facilities and adding to its curri­culum
to meet needs arising from in­dustrial
progress being made in the
state. Statistics show that Alabama
produces enough raw material and

Many Thrills Offered
At The Opelika Fair
The Opelika District Fair is about
to close one of its most successful
seasons. At noon Monday, the gates
were opened to the public, and soon
the grounds and buildings were
crowded with spectators eager to
• view this annual affair. Tomorrow
the gates will close for this season.
Several new features were added
this year. The Aerial Selts gave
i many thrills to the audiences in their
two acts daily, one a high pole bal­ancing
act, and the other a trapeze
act. The Flying Brocks entertained
the crowd with their acts, and the
Heth Carnival is a source of much
enjoyment. These, together with the
Great Verona and Billy Dearho, gave
the Opelika District Fair the great-
~~- est free acts ever put on there.
The music was furnished by the
Opelika Concert Band in conjunction
with the Heth Band, and Tuesday
there was the added attraction of the
band from the Montgomery Shops of
the Western of Alabama Railway.
Great numbers of livestock and
poultry exhibits were there, and the
flower exhibit was noted for the effu­sion
of many flowers. One of the
freak exhibits was a (four-legged
rooster.

Aeronautical Classes
Move to New Building
The aeronautical classes moved in­to
their new laboratory in the north
end of the shop building last week,
and have started actual work on the
assembly, disassembly, alignment, ad­justment,
and minor repairs of air­planes
and airplane engines.
The college has been very fortu­nate
in securing loans and donations
of aviation equipment. One com­plete
airplane, two complete airplane
engines, a collection of airplane in­struments,
and an assortment of air­plane
and airplane engine parts, have
been received from the government,
and four additional engines and an­other
airplane have been assigned.
The major parts of the newest model
whirlwind air-cooled engine, have
been received from the Wright Aero­nautical
Corporation, and a similar
donation has been promised by the
Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Corpo­ration,
makers of the Wasp and the
Hornet air-cooled aviation engines.
Efficiency Institute
To Be Held By Union
The Lee County Epworth League
Union will hold an efficiency institute
at the Auburn Methodist Church, Oc­tober
27-31. Seven Epworth Leagues
from all parts of Lee County will be
represented at this institute, and
Cleveland Adams, president of the
Auburn League, expressed the hope
that all students who possibly could,
would take part. Supper will be ser­ved
each evening, and the only cost
will be a registration fee of twenty-five
cents.
Registration will be held Monday,
October 27, from 4:30 to 6:00 p. m.,
and for the rest of the week, includ­ing
Monday, the daily schedule is as
follows: 6:00 to 6:30, supper, pep
songs, and announcements; 6:30 to
6:45, devotional; 6:45 to 7:15, ad­ministration;
7:15 to 8:00, Bible
courses; 8:00 to 8:30,*flirected recre­ation;
and from 8:30 to 9:15, meth­ods
of courses.
For the successful completion of
this course one unit of credit will be
given towards the Christian Culture
Diploma, and according to Adams,
the faculty is going to be one of the
strongest ever to hold an institute of
this kind.
NOTICE
There will be an important staff
meeting of the Auburn Engineer at
four-thirty Tuesday afternoon, in
the Engineer room in Broun Hall.

honor of His Excellency, Bibb Graves,
governor of the State of Alabama,
At this time dedication exercises for
Bullard Field will be held. The re
view will take place on the morning
preceding the Auburn-Wofford foot­ball
game. A governor's salute of
seventeen guns will be fired for Gov­ernor
Graves immediately preceding
the review, by battery of Field Ar
tillery firing 75 mm. guns. The Gov­ernor
will attend the Auburn-Wofford
game in the afternoon.
A practice review was held last
Tuesday and another will be held on
Tuesday.' November 28 to acquaint
the students with the military form­ations
used in passing the reviewing
stand. Uniforms for the occasion
will be white shirts and blouses.
"This is the last time Governor
Bibb Graves will review the Auburn
R. O. T. C. unit, and an effort is be­ing
made to make this the biggest
and best review ever held. This is
especially true in view of the keen
interest that Governor Graves has al­ways
manifested in the unit," Major
John T. Kennedy, commandant, said.

played over station WSFA at Mont­gomery.
It has agreed to broadcast

time for this entertainment is Mon­day
evening from 11:00 to 11:30
o'clock.
Training School Starts
For Baptist Students
The B. Y P. U. Training School
for the Bpptist Students which began
Monday night and continued through
Friday offered four attractive study
courses.
The B. Y. P. U. Manual was taught
by Professor Turner Ivy. Dr. Ed­wards,
Baptist pastor, taught a course
called "We People Called Baptist."
The Intermediate and Junior manuals
were taught by the Misses Margaret
Graves and Ann Mason. The classes
met from 5 to 5:45 in the afternoon,
with one intermission for lunch, and
convened again at 6:15 to continue
until 7.
Seventy-five Baptist students com­pleted
the course and will receive
credit from the Southern Baptist
Headquarters for their work.
When Porter Grant, fleet-footed
Auburn right end, grabbed a fumble
by Jap Hart, Tech halfback, out of
the air on Grant Field in the Tech-
Auburn game last Saturday, and ran
70 yards for a touchdown, he was
repaying the Engineers for playing
the same trick on the Plainsmen in
1929. Capt. Earl Dunlap, who was
playing quarterback for the Jackets
last year, pulled the same play on
the 1929 Tigers, his run to glory
netting him 65 yards. He, also
caught the pigskin at the line of
scrimmage and ran untouched across
the final white stripe.
One explanation has come to light
regarding Hart's costly fumble. Grant
and Hart played together on the
high school eleven in Dothan, Ala.,
the latter probably forgot himself
momentarily and tried to throw a
lateral pass to Grant, but Auburn's
flankmen was alert and forgot that
they had ever played together in
high school, leaving the line of scrim­mage
for the Engineers goal line
like lightning.
NOTICE
There will be a meeting of The
Plainsman staff Sunday evening, at
six-thirty, at the Delta Sigma Phi
House.
Dr. Knapp Addresses
Opelika Lions Club
Dr. Bradford Knapp addressed the
Opelika Lions Club as the principal
speaker of their National Business
Confidence Week program Tuesday
night. National Business Confidence
Week is being sponsored by the Lions
International, and programs similar
to that put on by the Opelika Club
are being held this week throughout
the nation.
"Business is bad, but confidence in
yourself, your business, and your
country will soon put us on a sound
basis," Dr. Knapp stated. "Courage
will win; the white feather never. We
can and will win," added the speaker.
Several visitors from Auburn and
Opelika were present at the meeting.
An invitation to attend the American
Legion barbecue to be held in Au­burn
on Armistice Day was extended
the club by Lt. Townsley.
Textiles Go
To Exposition
At Greenville
Auburn Represented By Dr.
Knapp, Prof. Camp, and
Other Officials
The ninth Southern Textile Expo­sition
was officially opened at Green­ville,
South Carolina, October 20th.
Auburn was well represented at this
exposition, having present, Bradford
Knapp; E. W. Camp, head of the
School of Textile Engineering; S. W.
Garrett, purchasing agent; C. B.
Ordway, professor of textile engi­neering;
W. E. Tarrant, also of the
textile engineering faculty; as well
as five students who are enrolled in
the Department of Textile Engineer­ing.
The students who were present
are as follows: Cleveland Adams,
Jack Cumbie, C. D. Morris, Joe
Johnson, and D. Mangum.
The purpose of this exposition is
to bring together textile machinery
and equipment in such a way that
it will be of value and interest to all.
This show is of special interest to
those connected with the new School
of Textile Engineering at Auburn
because of the fact that the new
textile building is to be furnished
with machinery soon. At this expo­sition
the newest developments in the
way of textile machinery can be stud­ied,
and it is with this in mind that
the Auburn textile faculty is attend­ing.
According to the "Manufacturers
Record", every foot of available floor
space was taken up by more than
200 exhibits of the latest improved
textile machinery, and this exposi­tion
is also considered, according to
the "Record", to be one of the best
ever held.

Business Women's Club
Meets at Thomas Hotel
At the regular monthly business
meeting at the Thomas Hotel, Tues­day
evening, the Auburn Business
and Professional Women's Club in­dorsed
the movement to establish a
traveling library in Lee County and
voted to support it.
The traveling library idea, being
promoted by a committee of which
Charles W. Edwards is' chairman, is
gaining headway in Lee County, a
large number of clubs having agreed
to support the movement.
Another feature of the meeting was
two talks on citizenship by Dr. A. W.
Reynolds and O. T. Ivey of the Au­burn
department of history.
Dr. Reynolds discussed the rights
of a citizen under the constitution.
He pointed out how marriage, remov­al
from one state to another, and
other things affect one's right to
vote.
Mr. Ivey stressed the importance
of citizens voting and urged them to
keep themselves informed regarding
their government-and candidates who
aspire to office.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. A. F. Nickel, president and Mrs.
Elba Wicker of the legislative com­mittee
was in charge of the program.

When the Auburn Tigers embark
for Columbus, Ga., Saturday morning
for their annual game with the Uni­versity
of Georgia Bulldogs in Memo­rial
Stadium, they will leave the Cor­nerstone
in probably the worst condi­tion
that they have left for an im­portant
game in several years.
Four of the players who were used
against Georgia Tech in Atlanta last
week are definitely slated not to see
service in the game with the conquer­ors
of Yale. James Bush and Com­modore
Wood, regular guards, and
Lindley Hatfield, varsity halfback, are
suffering with injuries which will
keep two of them on the bench and
the other in the hospital Wood is re­cuperating
from an operation for ap­pendicitis.
Bush, Wood and Hatfield
started against the Yellow Jackets and
easily made their presence on Grant
Field known to the Engineers before
the field judge brought to a close one
of the best games played in Dixie.
Young saw lots of service as a sub­stitute,
but had to resign from school
during the week.
The other players who have limped
and winced a good deal this week
when the coaches were not looking
probably will be used in the tilt with
the Bulldogs because capable substi­tutes,
especially in the backfield, are
scarce. Some of the players suffer­ing
with injuries have come around
okeh, but several have seen their in­juries
remain at a standstill during -
the week.
Coach Wynne has not drilled his
charges at a fast pace this week. The
only day that rough work was issued

Section Reserved For
High School Students
A section for high school students
is being reserved at the Auburn-
Georgia game Saturday, and already^
student bodies of many schools in
the Chattahoochee Valley have signi­fied
their intentions of taking advant­age
of the special rates give them
by the Georgia-Auburn football as­sociation.
High school students will be ad­mitted
for $1.00 upon presenting a
certificate from the teacher of his
school. Special busses will be run
so that students living out of Colum­bus
can see the game. —

were not completely fitted out at
the beginning of the year. The uni­forms
arrived October 20, and are
being issued now. All students must
draw uniforms at once and start
wearing them to R. O. T. C. classes
and drill immediately, according to
official announcement. Students not
appearing in Uniform must present
an excuse from the supply room
stating that they have not been is­sued

DEAN WILMORE PORTRAIT
The presentation of a portrait of Dean
John J. Wilmore, of the School of Engi­neering,
is a distinct honor to a man who
has served the institution and state for
twenty-three years.
Dean Wilmore can claim the respect and
friendship of every man. who has been
enrolled in his school. The students last
year voted to recognize his service by erec­ting
a life-sized oil painting to be placed
in the reading room of Ramsay Hall.
The Plainsman is proud to recognize in
Dean Wilmore the qualities of one who is
willing to do everything in his power for
the advancement pi learning in Auburn. He
has enlarged the curriculum and facili­ties
of the school so that it is now on a
par with the best. Under his regime, new
engineering buildings have been built,
greater numbers of students have enrolled
in his school, until it is now the largest on
the campus.
This paper is also proud of the engineer­ing
students who have made possible the
recognition of Dean Wilmore.
The portrait is now being exhibited in
the windows of Burton's Book Store prior
to the presentation exercises next week.
COORDINATION COMMITTEE
There appeared in this paper recently
an announcement that a committee to regu­late
the public performance of student ac­tivities
so as to prevent conflicting dates
and to cooperate with the faculty or ad­ministration
so as to assure such -results
had been formed.
So far, this Coordination Committee has
done nothing, or, from the outside, it ap­pears
that nothing has been done. Meet­ings
have been scheduled for certain nights,
only to be called off, or be poorly attended
when some other form of activity takes
place.
There is no doubt but that the football
season is accountable for some of the con­flicts.
In such a case, then the faults of
the committee can easily be overlooked.
Football rallies and games are of first im­portance,
and students cannot be blamed
for forsaking things to attend either.
Of primary importance is the necessity
of campus organizations cooperating with
the committee in arranging the calendars
for the weeks.
It is the idea of The Plainsman that some
definite action should be taken in the real­ization
of the purposes of the Coordina­tion
Committee.
THE PRESCRIPTION DEPARTMENT
In one month after its formation, the
newly established medical dispensary has
saved students approximately two hundred
dollars. The dispensary was formed by
the Pharmacy Department for the purpose
of filling all student prescriptions abso­lutely
free of charge.
The department has illustrated that the
idea is a complete success. Under an ex­perienced
pharmacist, the students are as­sured
of expert service, at no charge.
The primary object was to increase the
health service here, and it seems that, if
students take advantage of the wonderful
opportunity, there is no reason why the
health service should not be complete and
satisfactory.
The department ie to be congratulated
on the formation and success of the new
dispensary. It will be of great benefit
to Auburn students.
DEBATING TEAMS
A most valuable activity on a college
campus is debating, but for some reason
it seems that Auburn has not made progress
along this line that is in keeping with the
general development of the Institution. One
of the objects that the administration had
in mind when the new Speech Department
was formed was the development of a strong
debating team, but this is impossible unless
the team is given the interest and support
of the student body.
Debating is not only of great value to
the students who are directly connected,
but as a means of advertising the institu­tion,
it can be ranked along with any of
the major activities. Several successful
business men, who were members of the
Auburn debating team while in college,
made the statement that nothing had proven
of more value in business life than the ex­perience
gained on the college debating
team. A complete list of successful men
who have made this same statement would
fill many pages, but that is beside the point
here.
A call has been made by the Speech De­partment
for a girls' varsity, a boy's var­sity,
and ' a freshman debating team, but
the response has not been very encouraging.
The Plainsman believes that debating
teams would be assets to the college, and
urges all interested to participate in this
form of activity and give all cooperation
possible for the advancement of debating
at Auburn.
. THANKS, "OLD TIMER"
The following is a clipping from "Old
Timer's" column, in the October 22 issue
of the Atlanta Journal:
"From The Journal's radio booth at
Athens Saturday was displayed the
score: Auburn 12; Tech 0; at the half.
This was greeted with a rousing cheer.-
"There were a goodly number of
Tech people at the game and some of
them were irritated or hurt by what
they regarded as rejoicing over Tech's
misfortune.
"They have misjudged the spirit, I
am quite sure. I remember what hap­pened
at Athens two years ago. The
score of the Tech-North Carolina game
at the half, 20 to 0, was announced
during the Tulane game. And it drew
great cheering.
"The cheering Saturday was at Au­burn's
great showing, not at Tech's
misfortune. Had it been Auburn
against Vanderbilt or Florida or Tu­lane
or anybody, the cheers would have
been perhaps louder and more enthus­iastic,
yet they would have signified no
hostility to Auburn's opponents.
"Everybody loves Auburn second
only to his own college. Tech does,
Georgia does, Vanderbilt does, Tulane
does. This feeling is based on long
contact in which the Plainsmen have
shown such admirable qualities of
sportsmanship and courage. The af­fection
has been heightened by the long
ordeal of defeat which Auburn has suf­fered,
and there is no fair-minded and
warm-hearted person in the south who
would not be elated by Auburn's suc­cess
against any team save his own.
"Were the score to be announced at
Grant Field as Auburn 12, Georgia 0,
I should be dismayed, but I should hold
the cheering—which I know would en­sue—
to be no hostility or gloating over
Georgia but a recognition that was due
a courageous team making a start back
up to its.former position of power."
To The Plainsman, this is one of the
highest tributes than can be paid this in­stitution.
It clearly shows that Auburn
men are not the only ones who love Au­burn.
The Gazook
I'm the gazook prof who is partial to
some students. The ones that I like only
do a small amount of work for me, but
the ones who are not popular with me are
graded off in every possible way.
"The only way that a student I don't like
can get by me is by knowing his lessons
perfectly.
I think I'm so cute. When someone says
something funny, I try to make a "H. A."
out of him.
I want everyone who is in school to get
this straight: "When I'm in my class, I'm
king, and I'll 'four you out' if you don't
treat me as such. I tell very stale jokes,
and I know the students have heard them
before, but I can't help it if they do not
laugh—I'll just 'four-'em-out'."
Orange, N. J., and East Orange, N. J.,
have different laws about Sunday movies.
A theatre owner whose building is located
on the dividing line between the two cities
ropes off the East Orange side of his au­ditorium,
and thereby obeys the law in that
city, while he puts on his Sunday movies
in the Orange side of the theatre.
The Massachusetts World War Memorial
Commission will erect an imposing granite
shaft on the summit of Greylock mountain,
the highest point in the State. An electric
light on the top will be visible in five states.
Solitary Speculations
By Haakon Provost
WHAT to write? I cannot be trite
and jump on the coeds, the Wo­man's
College student body, the
Speech Department, or the female sex as
a whole, so what to write? Maybe I can
become laudatory (like the Smith broth­ers)
and tell how much I like my profs . . .

I will not cease from muttering woe on woe,
While life still holds me here."

I don't hear much about our good friend
from the more Artie portions of the coun­try
who wanted -to spot Auburn thirteen
points and bet one hundred fifty dollars
on Georgia Tech; maybe he has realized
that shining roadsters and undetachable
blue hats don't make an Auburn man . . .

I am glad to note that the grumbling
over the abolition of the Vigilance Com­mittee
has about died out. I cannot see
that the frosh are committing any fla­grant
violations of the Auburn code of
ethics since this memorable organization
ceased to exist. It seems that Columbia
University abolished its vigilance commit­tee
last week; Auburn is not alone in this
marked step towards civilized progress . . .

Last year a senior in Mechanical Engin­eering
informed me that anyone, who ap­plied
themselves to the study of liberal arts
was "a fool to fill his head with all that
crap." Why is it that students of science
hold literature and fine arts in such con­tempt?
Maybe it is because they are too
commonplace and materialistic in their con­ceptions
of life to recognize the worth of
anything that may take their minds out
of the narrow field of mathematics into
something that they are too one-sided to
comprehend.
WHAT EDUCATION COSTS US
Here are some things that are being
said generally throughout the nation about
the money we are spending on education:
It is being said that too large a part of
our national wealth and intome is invested
in schools.
It is being said that more money is be­ing
spent for schools than the importance
of schools justifies.
It is being said that the total of public
expenditures, of which the cost of schools
is an important part, is larger than the
nation can afford.
It -is being said that public expenditures
in general and school costs in particular
are absorbing a swiftly growing portion
of the national income.
It is being said that we have already
reached or will shortly reach the limit
which the nation can safely spend for pub­lic
education.
How true or how false are these asser­tions?
The National Education Association has
prepared a research bulletin on our nation­al
investment in education to answer these
queries.
Here are some basic facts with which
this research report begins:
In 1928, the last year for which accurate
figures were available when this research
was conducted, the incomes of all the people
of the United States added together was
$89,419,000,000.
In that year we spent on tax-supported
schools of elementary, secondary, and col­legiate
grade, $2,448,633,561.
Eighty-nine per cent of this was spent on
elementary schools and high schools.
The remaining 11 per cent of this was
spent on tax-supported colleges and uni­versities.
We thus spent 2.74 per cent of our in­come
on tax-supported schools.
For each $100 of income, we spent $2,44
on elementary and secondary schools, and
30 cents on colleges and universities that
were tax-supported.
This gives the relation of our public ex­penditures
on schools to our income. To­morrow
I shall speak of the relation of
school costs to our wealth.—(Cpr., 1930.)

Down thru the leaves overhead.

That I, and others, have sought.

Full of sadness, grief, and mirth,
'Til a "skeeter" sat down on my nose,
And brought me back to earth.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
THAT'S NICE
"Every attempt is made to capitalize the
enthusiasm with which a boy comes to col­lege."
States Herbert E. Hawkes, in The
Nation for October 15, 1930. "When a
youth enters college something is supposed
to have happened. He assumes that he is
entering upon a new and higher level of
intellectual life. If after a few days he
finds that he is thrashing the same old
straw in the same old way, a golden op­portunity
is forever lost. To meet this
situation every student takes placement ex­aminations,
the object of which is to find
out at just what point the boy is com­petent
to take up the study of language,
mathematics, science and the rest. The re­sults
of these tests reveal the startling fact
that about half of the incoming students
are competent to take .work one or more
half-years in advance of the point indicat­ed
by their entrancer record." We had of­ten
wondered just why the placement test.

WAR EAGLE
The beat of tom-toms and chanting of
braves echoed over the campus of Haskell
Institute before the Haskell Indians play­ed
the University of Kansas, as more than
1,000 Indians attending a nation-wide pow­wow
incident to the game, participated in
the war dances of their forefathers.
The spectacle was held in the athletic
stadium of the government's Indian school.
The braves tramped across the chalk lines
of the institution's football field, the mod­ern
battle ground of Indian youths.
The next night, a band of present-day
Indian warriors, Haskell's football team,
went on the war-path against the Univer­sity
of Kansas eleven, and lost by a score
of 33 to 7.
It was the first meeting of the two teams
in 10 years. The pow-wow, called in cele­bration
of the resumption of athletic rela­tions
between the two schools, was intend­ed
at first only for graduates and students
of Haskell. It was made nation-wide, how­ever,
when Indians from all parts of the
country announced they would attend.—

UP-TO-DATE STUDENTS
The varied restrictions which tend to
make life dull for Cambridge University
students on Sundays, no longer holds any
threat to the happiness of a large number
of the undergraduates since the inaugura­tion
of the "Sunday Sermons Sweep­stakes."
Unwittingly, the pastors of 12 local
churches play the biggest part in the ope­ration
of this newest and strangest sport­ing
event which has already become fam­ous.
What it amounts to is betting on the
length of the Sunday sermons of the past­ors.
In the rooms of the organizers of the
sweepstakes are charts showing the rec­ords
of past performances by the devines,
and their bets ranging from two shillings
to ten shillings may be placed up to 11
o'clock every Sunday on any one of the
day's preachers.
A group of official timers take their stop
watches to the various churches with them,
and keep careful track of the number of
minutes over-time each pastor preaches.
After several weeks of observation, the
affair has become one of handicaps, and
there are dopsters and tipsters who regu­larly
clean up because they have carefully
studied the habits of the ministers in the
town.
The university preacher, usually a visi­tor,
usually is an unknown quantity, and
is the object of the bets of the casual fol­lowers
of the sport, and is usually given
long odds. Odds on a Bishop are automat­ically
cut in two, however.
Not long ago the sweepstakes narrowly
escaped bankruptcy when a minister who
substituted for a long shot and on whom
bets were allowed at regular minister's
rates, set a ne wrecord by preaching for 56
minutes.
Statistics reveal that 21% minutes is the
average length of a sermon, with one which
lasted only nine minutes holding the rec­ord
in that direction to date.
Length of prayers is not taken into ac­count
in calculating the extent of the past­or's
remarks.1—(IP).
That takes the cake.

UNWISE FOR STRONG TEAMS TO
PLAY WEAK TEAMS
Coach Lou Little, of Columbia Universi­ty,
states that he considers it unwise for
institutions to schedule games with teams
whom they have every reason to believe
they will defeat by an overwhelming score.
Coach Little believes that there are only
two reasons which govern the relations in
an athletic way between two schools where
one is much weaker than the other. One
is that the small college team has hopes of
an upset, and the other is the financial re­turns
from such games. However, the Co­lumbia
Coach could see only a possibility
of injuries and demoralization for the lit­tle
school and an overrated idea of their
abilities for the other players.

There has been brought to my mind a
matter concerning the Co-eds that did not
attend the dances. They did not attend
the last dances and are not supposed to
attend others. They received letters from
the Dean of Women requesting them not to
attend the dances. The facts of the case
seem to show that there were a good
number that were excused from taking phy­sical
culture for reasons perhaps" only a
doctor should know. Why shouldn't a girl
be allowed to make the dances if she has a
doctor's excuse from physical culture? One
thing in question is: why were some sent
letters telling them not to attend while
others had the same excuse from the same
source and were allowed to attend?
There appears to me to be a bit of un­fairness
about the matter. There would
have been some logical reason for some re­ceiving
letters and others not receiving
them if their conduct had been questioned.
This is not the case in regard to those who
received the letters. It seems that the
Dean of Women takes to some and to some
she doesn't. There seems to be nothing to
cause such partiality to be shown. I have
never known any college not to progress on
account of women. There are exceptions
to that of course.
We may have been on the ups and downs
with the University of Alabama several
years, but we will have to hand it to them
when they say they have Co-eds. The
Co-eds have certainly played their part in
making the University what it is today.
Alabama loves its Co-eds. I can't say that
ours are neglected in this respect because
I am not certain whether they are or not.
I believe Co-eds help any college and I
think that respect and fair play should al­ways
be shown them.
It might be possible for us to get more
each year than we do if this were true.
I am for getting our share of everything." -~*
It may be truly said that some of our
Co-eds show more spirit than some of our
dear little boys that have never learned
their Alma Mater. From somewhere out
of the darkness a light should appear and
enlighten those of us who believe that our
Co-eds have been treated unfairly.

THE SILVER TRAIL OF DREAMS
The little silver trail of dreams
That lies across the sea:
That little silver trail of dreams
.Down which you tripped to me.
The moon-built path is wide and white,
Is sweet as it was then.
Come down the little trail tonight
To me again.
Night builds the little trail once more
With the great moon's white beams,
While all the world is fast asleep
And smiling in its dreams.
Come down the silver trail to me
Upon the stars' white track,
And let me hold you tenderly
Till day comes back.

U. OF N. CAROLINA INSTALLS
"THE ALUMNI BOOK CLUB"
KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ALUMNI
Chapel Hill, N. C—(IP)—Some­thing
entirely new in the way of
adult education, and another method
of keeping in touch with alumni, has
been instituted at the University of
North Carolina here in the form of
The Alumni Book Club.
The new library, believed to be
unique, circulating as it does at a
normal cost a list of selected books
recommended by the faculty of the
University. To make the affair a
success, three University agencies are
co-operating with - the faculty—the
alumni office, the library extension
service and the university library.
Under the plan of the Alumni Book
Club, a list of five new books which
may be borrowed by the alumnus is
furnished each graduate. Each book
will be mailed to the borrower, ac­companied
by a critical review, writ­ten
by a member of the faculty best
informed on the subject dealt with
in the book.
This commentary is designed to
show the book's relation to other
books on the subject or to furnish
information about the author and his
work.

PERSONAL
MENTION
MORE THAN SEVEN HUNDRED
OBERLIN STUDENTS FORM
PEACE SOCIETY RECENTLY
Oberlin, O.—(IP)—More than sev­en
hundred Oberlin College undergrad­uates
have formed the Oberlin Peace
Society, an organization which evolv­ed
from a chapel address made by
Dr. Ernest Hatch Wilkins, president
of the college, and one which the stu­dent
leaders hope will spread, in one
form or another, to all the colleges
and universities of the country.
Many of the students who joined
the society pledged themselves to do
special research work in problems of
peace and war in an effort to arrive
at an intelligent solution of the prob­lem.
The address which inspired the for­mation
of the society was one in which
President Wilkins expressed the be­lief
that colleges ought to make the
study of peace one of their main sub­jects.
Warning the students that this gen­eration,
although due the credit for
starting the movement for world
peace, will never see the culmination
of their work, Dr. Wilkins continued:
"I have imagined that for a period
of seven years Oberlin might devote
it self to an intensive study of this
problem—elementary work in all de­partments
to continue in the normal
way, advanced work in all or nearly
all departments to concentrate very
largely on the common theme. Thus
the department of history would study
the sheer facts of war; the depart­ments
of social science would study
the causes of war and their correc­tion;
the departments of literature
would deal with those works which
set forth the experience of war as seen
by men of genius who have shared in
it; the departments of physics and
chemistry would study the implications
of physical and chemical warfare, and
the departments of biology the impli­cations
of that bacteriological war­fare
which is all too possible; and the
other departments would study the ac­tual
effects of war upon the body and
the mind and the spirit of men.
"A monotonous and ghastly prog­ram,
you say? Yes, but less a monot­onous
than the trenches; less ghast­ly
than a city street where a bomb
has fallen."
Dr. Oscar Jaszi, former Hungarian
cabinet member, now Professor of
Peace and War in the college, is to
have a part in the society.

here when athletic authorities order­ed
the construction of four all-weath­er

The hard surface will consist of a
deep layer of crushed rock, which
will be treated with a gravity flux of

Before the oil cools, a layer of
cedar sawdust will be spread on and
packed with a heavy roller.
This produces a hard surface that

THE IDEAL GIRL
God bless the girl, who treasures in
her heart,
The finer things of Life, and Sacred
Love.
Who sets her aims, from worldly
things, apart.
This girl is Godly, like Him high
above.
She, who longs not for a taste of
modern Life,
The Life of jazz, the fleeting, giddy
whirl.
Aspires to make some man a true
and loving wife.
I love her. God bless this rare found
girl.

Dr. Petrie Tells of the First Football
Game Between Georgia and Auburn
When the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute
and the University of Georgia
meet on the gridiron in Columbus,
Ga., October 25, fans will have a
chance to see the two schools battle
who inaugurated intercollegiate foot­ball
in Georgia.
The earliest football game in this
section of Dixie was played at Pied­mont
Park, Atlanta, between Auburn
and Georgia. Dr. Geo. Petrie, present
head of the history department and
dean of the graduate school at Au­burn,
coached the Tigers, while Dr.
Chas. Herty, one of the noted chemists
in the United States, who frequently
lectures at the Cornerstone, was in
charge of athletics at Athens.
The first contest was well adver­tised
for days before the first kick-off.
One of the advertisements read:
"Football match between the Uni­versity
of Georgia and Auburn Me­chanical
and Military College at
Piedmont Park, February 20, at 3:30.
Weather will make no difference. The
game will come off rain or shine, and
the spectators will find the grand­stand
thoroughly comfortable. Great
interest is felt in this inter-collegiate
game, and our people should encour­age
it by their presence."
The two teams had only about sixty
days of practice before their initial
meeting. Football took Georgia and
Alabama like a storm after first being
introduced by Doctors Petrie and
Herty.
Dr. Petrie. recalls some of the
events happening in 1892 when Au­burn
and Georgia played.
"Playing conditions then and now
were quite different. The first game
was probably the beginning of spe­cial
trains. The railroad ran a spe­cial
from Montgomery to the game in
Atlanta which consisted of an engine
and two coaches. Starke's University
School in Montgomery occupied one
coach, while the team and students
were in the other.
"Both the teams stopped at the
Kimball House, where the lobby was
turned over to the college boys. So
many and such enthusiastic yells were
given that the guests in the hotel, be­ing
unfamiliar with college gather­ings,
rushed pell-mell to the corridors
| to see what the commotion could be
about. They feared that the roof
would be raised with the noise.
"We had to admit that Georgia out-yelled
us because they were organized.
However, we made up cheers for the
occasion, and finally made some noise
ourselves.
"Before time for the game, I had
to go to Athens on business. Dr. Her­ty
invited me to view the Bulldogs in
practice, but naturally I did not want
to watch them since my team was go­ing
to play them in a few days, but
he insisted and I viewed them pacing
through their drills. They had al­most
a perfect workout and I was al­most
too scared to send my team
against them. I thought that they
would run roughshod over us with­out
any trouble.
"We went to the game on street
cars. The attendance at the first game
was around 2000. This was consid­ered
very large at that time, and
more so since the game was played
in a sea of mud.' The players could
not be identified after the first half.
No bands marched upon the field in
spic and span uniforms to play the
Alma Maters, but the game was not
without its fun and spirit. Georgia
had a Goat for a mascot ancf Auburn
a faithful campus negro, who appear­ed
on the field wearing orange trous­ers
and a spike coat of blue and white
sash.
"When the teams trotted on the
field, they wore uniforms of canvas
similar to those worn today. How­ever,
they were not padded. Padding
came later as the result of lessons
learned by sad experience. The teams
wore Rugby caps in college colors, but
these were discarded when the game
began, and their only protection was
a nose guard. Helmets had not been
introduced.
"The rules of the game were some­what
different from the ones with
which we are familiar. In the first
place the game was divided into two
parts called the first and second in­nings.
In the second place a touch­down
scored only four points while a
goal counted two points.
"Both Georgia and Auburn used
what was called the "flying V" for­mation.
This meant that the team
with the ball—the offensive team—
lined up in a wedge or V shape, the
man at the apex of the wedge hold­ing
the ball. The defensive team
formed a straight line. The center
holding the ball could pass to any
other man in his wedge, and the one
chosen for ball carrier was then
thrust into the center of the wedge
and protected on three sides while the
formation charged, the straight wall
in front of them. The wedge might
move in any direction and any man on
the team could become the apex at a
moment's notice. By using this meth­od,
the man with the ball was fre-quently
able to "disentangle himself
and run many yards before being
downed.
"Georgia was so confident that she
was going to win that they had pre­pared
to stage a mammoth torchlight
parade after the game. Auburn won,
10 to 0, on touchdown runs by Rufus
T. Dorsey and J. L. Culver, and the
celebration was not staged, but it
would have been if Auburn had 4>een
lucky enough to find where they had
hidden their torches, etc.
"Prof. Atkinson aided me in coach­ing
the team. Neither of us received
any monetary gain from this venture,
but received a lot of experience. -1
had to finance the whole affair and
borrowed until I could not borrow any
more so that Auburn would be able to
inaugurate a game which she has
reached the top several times.
"After the season was over Capt.
Frank Lupton told me that there was
two gold-headed walking sticks in the
college vault for Prof. Atkinson and
myself for the services we had rend­ered
in coaching the first team. In ad­dition
to experience, this is all that
we received. The canes would have
been given to us at a public cere­mony,
but President Leroy Broun re­fused
to allow the professors to accept
gifts from the students.
"President Broun was not very
much interested in athletics, but pre­dicted
before the team left for At­lanta
that we would win in the second
half and his forecast was perfect. Af­ter
the game he was so elated that he
had the cannon fired in our honor
when we returned to the Loveliest
Village. Teams have been signally
honored, but this is one of the few
times in history that a cannon was
fired in a team's honor after one vic­tory.
"The members of each team took a
pledge not to take a drink during their
visit to Atlanta. These pledges were
honorably kept, and the manly bear­ing
and conduct of all the college boys
were greatly commended and admir­ed.
However, this pledge did not ap­ply
to the spectators. After the game
two salesmen took my center rush,
McKissick, back to town in a buggy.
McKissick was so large that he crowd­ed
them/ out of the front seat, but
they were satisfied to ride on the sides
and yell Auburn's leading cheer: 'Rah,
rah, ree, Alabama A. M. C.,' only they
changed it to 'Rah, rah, ree, Alabama
A. B. C '
"The greatest broken field runner
that I have ever seen, barring none,
was Rufus Dorsey. He could do as
many tricks on the gridiron as Hou-dini.
Lewie Hardage, former Auburn
and Vanderbilt all-Southern star and
present assistant coach at Vandy, is
FIRST AND PRESENT
Dr. George Petrie, left, who organized and coached the first football
team at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in 1892, and Chet Wynne, for­mer
Notre Dame star, who is starting on a three-year contract as head
coach and athletic director. As dean of the graduate school and head of
the history department, Dr. Petrie is still connected with the institution
where he inaugurated the gridiron game in the early nineties.
Notre Dame System To Be Used
By Both Teams In Clash Saturday
Two teams using the Notre-Dame
system will meet when Auburn
meets Georgia in Columbus Satur­day.
Auburn's first experience against
its own system was against Florida
in Jacksonville when they were bare­ly
nosed out by the 'Gators, 7 to 0.
How they will perform when they
encounter the Bulldogs from Georgia
remains to be seen, but it is known
that they will fight and fight all
during the game. A game fighter
the next best that I have seen. John
Barnwell, dean at the University of
Alabama and fullback on my team,
was the best punter that I have ever
noticed. His boot's were high and
long."
The lineup for Auburn in their first
game was: McKissick, now a million­aire
cotton man in South Carolina,
center rush; H. DeBardlaben, coal
baron of Birmingham, and J. L. Cul­ver,
guards; Harry Smith and McClel-lan,
tackles; Ed Wilson, business man
in Birmingham, and Stevens, ends;
the cool-headed Dick Going, quarter­back;
Frank Lupton, prominent phy­sician
in Birmingham, captain and
halfback; Rufus "Dutch" Dorsey, one
of the leading physicians in Atlanta,
halfback, and John Barnwell, dean
at the University of Alabbama, full­back.
A Mr. Daniels was selected to suc­ceed
Dr. Petrie as head coach after
the first season when Auburn won
from Georgia in February, 10 to 0;
defeated Georgia Tech in the Fall, 26
to 0, and lost to Trinity, 34 to 6, and
North Carolina, 64 to 0. Daniels had
previously coached at Trinity. He was
head coach and Billy Feagin was man­ager.
Dr. Petrie was sick during the
1893 football season and was unable
to view a practice.
Dr. Petrie is still interested in ath­letics,
recently dropping in on the
1930 Tigers while Coach Wynne was*
conducting skull practice. He remark­ed
that football is still just about the
same, as some of the fundamentals
that Coach Wynne is teaching the
Plainsmen have not been changed
since the early nineties.
never quits, and that is what the
1930 Tiger is.
This year's edition of the Plains­men
is quite different from the teams
produced during the past few seasons.
They have won only one game in four
tries, but every team that they have
played has been extended to the limit
to eke out a win over the Wynne-
Kiley-McFaden machine. Birming­ham-
Southern, and Florida defeated
the Tigers 7 to 0, and Georgia Tech
staged a remarkable comeback to win,
14 to 12. The win was recorded over
Spring Hill, 13 to 0.
The • three reverses were received
from three of the leading team* below
the Mason-Dixon line. Since the
scores were so close, it shows that
the Plainsmen are gradually mounting
the long and perilous comeback ladder
under Coaches Wynne, McFaden, and
Kiley. The Tigers have not yet
reached maturity, but are expected to
be able to vote before the season is
over. They are almost full-grown.
Coach Wynne was a man of few
words after the Tech game. He was
pleased because his proteges showed
improvement over the Florida tilt, but
could not help but be disappointed in
his team not winning after leading at
the half, 12 to 0. It can never be ex­plained
why the Plainsmen let the
Jackets outplay them for the first 17
minutes of the second half, and then
show a reversal of form and threaten
during the final period. Auburn was
master of the situation for 28 min­utes,
with the initial quarter being
even.
The playing of Capt. Dunham Har-kins,
Robert Arthur, Lindley Hatfield,
Tom Brown, Jimmie Hitchcock, Porter
Grant and James Bush in the clash
with the engineers was sensational.
Arthur is only a sophomore, but was
the outstanding lineman on Grant
field Saturday. He performed at left
tackle, but Number 33 was nearly as
evident on the right side of the line
as it was on the left. If he continues
to improve like he has since practice
started Labor Day, this former Wood-lawn
luminary will probably be one
of the greatest tackles ever developed
at the Cornerstone.
Freshman Team Minus
Services Two Regulars
For Tilt With Ga. Rats
Will Wedge Writes "Wyntte Reviving
Auburn" in Article For New York Sun
Auburn's frosh will enter their
game with the Georgia Bullpups in
Columbus, Satusday morning at ten
o'clock minus the services of two of
their regular players and a reserve
end. W. D. Chrietzberg, center and
Jimmie Green, end, have been ruled
ineligible for the year by the con­ference
officials because they are
transfer students from other schools.
Marion Talley, former Darlington
prep school luminary, who has been
outstanding fullback, is the other
player who will not see service in
the Cub's third game of the season
and their second conference clash.
Talley was injured in scrimmage Mon­day
and will be out for the season.
Walter Weaver probably will take
over Chrietzberg's post at center.
However, he will have stiff opposi­tion
coming from two former tackles,
Baxley and Burge, who have been
shifted to the pivot post. Bumpers
will be stationed at fullback in place
of Talley.
Auburn's starting lineup against
the Red and Black aggredation prob­ably
will be: Arial and McCollum,
ends; Holmes and Garris, tackles;
Jones and Chambless, guards, Weav­er,
center; Baker, quarterback;
Phipps and Neal, halfbacks, and
Bumpers, fullback.
Rival Coaches Saturday
Are Old College Chums
The best of friends have forgot
their intimacy at times. Harry Mehre,
head coach of the University of Geor­gia;
Chet Wynne, Auburn's new men­tor,
and Roger J. Kiley, Wynne's as­sistant,
attended Notre Dame in the
early twenties, graduating with the
class of 1922, and each formed a
friendship that has no bounds, but
when Auburn and Georgia meet in
Memorial Stadium, Columbus, Sat­urday,
the attachment between this
illustrious trio will cease for the du­ration
of the game. „
Mehre played center on Knute
Rockne's 1921 Notre Dame eleven;
Wynne starred at fullback and Kiley
did likewise at left end. Kiley and
Mehre also played an the cage team.
Anyone would enjoy an evening lis­tening
to Kiley relate his experiences
with Mehre on the basket-ball quin­tet.
Kiley was captain and had a
hard time persuading Mehre to play,
but finally had him to don hardwood
togs and when he was allowed to per­form
at standing forward. One week
in practice, Mehre missed field goal
after field goal, but replied that he
was saving his two-pointers for the
hard game facing the Irishmen Sat­urday.
His boast was good'as he led
the team in scoring against a strong
Indiana five.

Sophomore Tackle
Shines in Tech Tilt
For two successive years against
Georgia Tech Auburn has had a
sophomore tackle to play an out stand­ing
game. In 1929, it was Joe An­drews,
who was ruled ineligible for
competition this year because of
scholastic difficulties, and last Sat­urday
it was Robert Arthur, the Ti­ger
life tackle, who was the outstand­ing
lineman on Grant Field.
Lindley Hatfield and Tom Brown,
former pupils of Coach Earl McFad-en's
at Cloverdale High School, Mont­gomery,
were the offensive stars
against Tech. Runs of 56 yards by
the former and 24 yards by the latter
gave the Tigers their first touchdown
against a conference foe this season.
These two boys also took quite a bat­tering
on the defense, but emerged
with flying colors. Hatfield had to
(Continued on page 6)
"Auburn, Ala., Oct. 21.—This is
a tricky place for a tenderfoot from
the Bronx to approach without a na­tive
guide. You sneak up on it soft­ly
through cotton fields in a round
about way, via Opelika, past a con­crete
casket company, over somno­lent
byways, and all of a sudden
you're in the 'Loveliest Village of
the Plain' (so-called, with a bow to
Goldsmith)—home of Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, more familiarly
known as Auburn.
"And here you find quite a football
tradition, memories of olden days,
when the 'Plainsmen' .toere the prin­ces
of Dixie football, a recent past of
gridiron disappointments, and dreams
of revived glories under a new coach­ing
regime begun this fall.
"Part of the football tradition is
that the first hidden-ball trick was
worked by an Auburn team. Pop
Warner is generally credited with
having invented the hidden-ball trick
when he coached the Carlisle Indians.
But old Auburnite claim Pop learned
it from them, and it was the brain
child of Heisman, an early coach of
the Plainsmen or Tigers, as they are
variously called.
"It was first tried in a game in
1895 (the fourth year of football in
Auburn's history) against Vander­bilt
at Nashville. Quarterback Rey­nolds
Tichenor and left halfback Bil­ly
Williams, the latter now a Wash­ington
attorney, were the players to
innovate the hidden-ball trick.
"Auburn had worked the ball to
Vandy's 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, starting off
himself on a bluff end run that fool­ed
the Commodores. Tichenor walk­ed
through the line unmolested and
crossed the goal for a touchdown.
"It would be a better story if that
hidden ball touchdown had won the
game for Auburn, but as the case was
Vandy carried the day, 9 to 6. It is
the contention of Auburnites that
Pop Warner, then coaching Georgia,
happpened to be a spectator at that
particular game, noted the play with
great admiration, and then sprung it
as his own two years later with his
Carlisle Indians.
"Auburn has been forced to feed
on past glories, for of recent years
the Tigers have been doormats of the
Southern Conference. But long be­fore
the conference was formed (and
it has only been in existence about
ten years) Auburn held its head up
with the best in Dixie. In 1900, '04,
'08, '10, '11, '13 and '14 it had un­defeated
teams.
"The bright era when Auburn was
achieving championships was in the
coaching reign of the 'Immortal
Mike' Donahue, from 1904 to 1914.
In 1908 they were unscored on; in
1913 they -won all their game, scor­ing
230 points to 13 against; in 1914
they were unscored on and undefeat­ed,
but they had two 0 to 0 ties with
Vandy and Georgia, but closed their
year with a great 7 to 0 win over
the Carlisle Indians.
'But what a difference of late! Au­burn
hasn't won a Southern Confer­ence
game in four years. In 1927,
'28, '29 and this season to date, Au­burn
has lost twenty-five games, tied
two and won but four. From the
record you can guess that the mor­tality
among coaches at the "love­liest
village" has been excessive. One
of the coaches last year departed so
fast that he forgot to put on his
necktie. It is still hanging on a hook
in the dressing room of the gym.
"Dave Morey, a Dartsmouth man,
was coach in 1926, and at the start
of '27 he 'resigned' before the '27
season was over, and it was a season
sans a single Auburn victory. He
was follewed by John Pitts, center
of Auburn's great 1913 team, and
now an assistant professor of math­ematics
at the Plains. In 1928
George M. Bohler, a product of
Washington State, was lassoed out
of a coaching berth in Mississippi and
persuaded to come and tinker with
the Auburn machine. He failed to
make it tick, winning only one game
out of nine in '28. Last year Bohler
bit the dust in midseason. At least
he 'resigned.' He was succeeded by
one of his assistants, J. C. Floyd, a
Vandy grad, who at least lasted the
year out, but he was not besought
to continue.
" This year came a radical change

Jack Roberts, who smashed through North Carolina for three touchdowns
Saturday, was safely ensconced today upon the southern conference scoring
throne with 66 points, 4 better than his nearest rival, Almakary, L. S. U.
halfback, held scoreless over the week-end.
Roberts has scored eleven touchdowns, three each against Oglethorpe and
North Carolina, four against Mercer and one against Yale. Almakary, who
made his 62 points against non-conference opposition, has not made a marker
against South Carolina and Mississippi Aggies.
Welch, Clemson backfield star, fifteenth in conference standings a week

100 YEAR OLD CLOCK RUNS
WITHOUT BEING REPAIRED
An incident that could well be re­counted
in one of the "Believe it or
Not" columns is that of a clock that
is owned by 0. C. McNeill of Ra-mer,
Alabama. The clock, which has
kept perfect time for 100 years and
has never had 1 cent spent on it for
repairs, has occupied its same place
on the mantle of the family living
room since 1840 and still ticks its
way through the daily lives of the
McNiell family.
The owner, who says that this was
the first clock that he ever heard
strike, says that it has missed strik­ing
only a few times when it reach­ed
the hour mark in the last two or
three years, and before those times,
the striking, as well as the time, was
perfect. The clock, which is run by
weights, never varies in its time­keeping,
unless one of the weights
happen to get out of balance, and
then a touch of the hand is all that
is needed to regulate it. An inscrip­tion
on the inside says: "Patent brass,
8-day clock, manufactured by Birge,
Gilbert and Company, Bristol, Conn."
Just -beneath this, one reads: "War-ranteed,
if well used:"
The clock was originally purchas­ed
by a family of Burnette, who had
settled in Ramer. It was sold by them
in 1840 to James McNeill, pioneer
settler, who moved into Montgomery
County in 1819, the year that Ala­bama
was made a state, and purchas­ed
about 80 acres of lands, which he
cleared and on which he built a house.
The deed to this, which the present
McNeill family still has in its pos­session,
bears the signature of James
Monroe. Although it was written on
sheepskin with homemade ink and a
goosequill pen, time has failed to dim
the writing.
Sometime after that purchase, Wil­liam
C. Jackson, another member of
the McNeill family made a purchase
of 75.25 acres of land and was given
a deed which was signed by Andrew
Jackson. In 1859 James McNeill tore
down his log house and erected a
frame house which is the present
home of the McNeills. James had
10 children -and at his death his son,
Hannibal, bought the claims of the
other heirs and became the possessor
of the homestead and incidentally, the
clock. In this house he, also, reared
a family of 10, of whom all, except
two, are living. At the death of Han­nibal,
the home passed to Oliver C.
McNeill, who, with his own family
still lives there, still cultivates the
same acres, and still times his daily
routine by the same clock that ticked
off the hours for his forefathers.

Publication Now Being
Arranged By College
Preparatory to publishing a month­ly
bulletin for distribution among
bankers, business men, manufactur­ers,
farmers, industrial leaders, pro­fessional
men, and others interested,
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is
now assembling material for the ini­tial
issue to appear either December
or January.
To render this service a bureau of
economics research has been created
in the department of general econo­mics
and this bureau will cooperate
with the department of agricultural
economics in collecting data and in
preparing and publishing the bulle­tin,
which will be a review of general
economic conditions, a special study
and review of Alabama conditions,
and an interpretation for Alabama.
Plans for inaugurating the new ser­vice
were announced by President
Bradford Knapp and Dean John W.
ARTICLE BY
JUDS0N IS
IN'SCIENCE'
An article, by Professor Lyman
Spicer Judson, head of the depart­ment
of speech, appears in the Oc­tober
10th issue- of "Science," the
official publication of. the American
Association for the advancement of
science. The article is entitled "A
Variable Resistance Pneumograph
and an Electro-Magnetic Tambour,"
and was writted while Professor Jud­son
was acting as director of the
Speech Clinic at Emporia, Kansas.
The apparatus described in the
journal, together with that which
appeared in the July 4th issue of
"Science" over the same signatures,
is the result of research by Mr. Jud­son,
and Mr. Griffith in the labora­tories
of the University of Iowa.
Professor Judson has been a mem­ber
of the A. A. Al S. since 1924.

Scott, dean of the academic faculty
and head of the department of gen
eral economics.
Professor H. L. Macon, formerly
of the University of North Carolina
has been employed to conduct the
work under the direction of Doctor
Scott. The plan of procedure pro­vides
for collecting information from
various sources, and compiling, pub­lishing,
and distributing it. Anyone
wishing the service may obtain it and
thereby have authentic information on
the subjects covered.
Doctor Scott said that agriculture,
mining, the steel industry, the tex­tile
industry, finances, retail sales,
construction permits, and business
failures are listed for study and that
other subjects may be added as needs
arise and facilities permit.
The aim is to collect data and print
and distribute a publication which
will enable the reader to get concise
information upon which he may de­pend.
As far as feasible the infor­mation
will be presented in statisti­cal
form but enough discussion will
be included to visualize the facts pre­sented
by statistics.
The beginning of this service will
supply a need which has been recog­nized
for some time, Dean Scott ex­plained.
Although it will be similar
to what is being done in other states,
it will be distinctive as a whole and
unique in certain features, and es­pecially
adapted to Alabama.
The aim is to conduct the work for
maximum value to the people of Ala­bama,
although it will be applicable,
in the main, to the people of other
southern states.
In addition to being a new service
for the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
it will be new for Alabama. As
yet the business and agricultural in­terests
of Alabama must depend up­on
outside sources for such informa­tion.
With a few exceptions such
service originating elsewhere has no
special interpretation for Alabama.
In addition to interpretative matter
the Auburn service will feature Ala­bama
facts which will be collected
from authentic and reliable sources.
Cooperation of bankers, business men,
manufacturers, state officials, and
Others in collecting information is
expected.

DR. WEAVER
INAUGURATES
NEW COURSE
Dr.- Charles P. Weaver of the Eng-list
department made a notable im­pression
when he inaugurated his ex­tension
course on the "Short-Story"
in Phenix last week. Hight praise of
Dr. Weaver's lecture was expressed
by Nelson M. Shipp, state editor of
the Ledger-Inquirer papers of Colum­bus,
Ga., in a letter to the department
of public information of Auburn.
. "Dr. Weaver made a very excellent
impression," Editor Shipp said. "I
attended his first lecture, and I must
admit it surpassed all my expectations.
He is quite gifted and able, and Au­burn
is to be congratulated on being
able to retain him for our section of
the country.
"It was instructive t a me to be pres­ent
at his lecture," he continued. "I
have arranged to write a series of ar­ticles
based on Dr. Weaver's work and
as I have caught the attention of
quite a number of people here who are
interested in such, this should be of
benefit to Auburn."
Dr. Weaver's class on- the short
story is one of a large number of ex­tension
classes being conducted at
man points in Alabama by members
of the Auburn faculty under the su­pervision
of Dr. B. R. Showalter, de-rector
of extension teahing.
The class at Phenix will hold 10
meetings and college credit will be
given those who successfully complete
assignments.
Dr. Weaver was already favorably
known to the people of Columbus. His
lecture, "Sherwood Anderson, Artist
of the Commonplace," was one of the
high-lights of a series given before
the Century Club.
Half Of Lee County
Is Not Being Used
Speaking at a meeting of the Au­burn
Kiwanis Club, Monday, Profes­sor
D. G. Sturkie said that more than
half of the land in Lee County is not
listed at present as being used for
any purpose. He suggested that this
land be put into service by growing
timber, and recommended that an or­ganized
movement be launched with
this in view.
"There is in Lee County," said Mr.
Sturkie, "a total of 389,120 acres of
land, this being the' entire area of
the county. In 1929 only 164,000
acres was listed as being used for
crops, pastures, and woodlots, leav­ing
225,000 acres not being used for
any purpose.
"The 1900 census showed that
327,930 acres of land was in farms
in the county. This included land
in cultivation, pastures, and wood­land.
In 1925 this figure had drop­ped
to 234,914. There was also a
rapid decline from 1925 to 1929" "ac­cording
to official figures."
Mr. Sturkie pointed out that the
1925 value of Lee County farm land
was little more than $5,000,000. He
said that 25 years from now the land

Prof. Crenshaw's Book
Adopted By College
News has been received at Auburn
that "Mathematics of Finance," a
new book of which Prof. B. H. Cren­shaw,
head of the department of
mathematics, is senior author, has
been adopted by the University of
Detroit, immediately after it came
from the press.
The book is the fourth textbook on
mathematics of which Prof. Cren­shaw
is the senior author. Other au­thors
of "Mathematics of Finance,"
and Professor 'Z. M. Pirenian of the
Auburn department of mathematics,
and Dr. T. M. Simpson, head of the
department of mathematics of the
University of Florida.
Adoption by the University of
Detroit is a distinct honor. It indi­cates
that other universities will do
likewise.
which is idle at present will be worth
much more than $5,000,000 if it is
retimbered.
He declared that the main thing
to do to retimber land is to protect
it from forest fires. As in other
countries of Alabama, nature will re­plenish
forests if fire is kept out, it
being the greatest enemy to the
growth of timber.
Dr. Culbreath, who is head of the
educational department of the South­ern
Methodist Church, was present
and made an interesting talk on edu­cational
work. Professor John E.
Pitts was happy in giving his im­pressions
of the Auburn-Tech foot­ball
game, Saturday.
Iowa City, Iowa—(IP)—The Uni­versity
of Iowa launched a school of
letters this Fall, a school believed to
be the first project of its kind in the
history of education in the United
States.
Under the direction of Professor
Norman Foerster, well known for his
work in humanism at the University
of North Carolina, the new school has
placed all the languages in one group,
and the organization for the study of
language and literature has been out­lined
much in the same way treat­ment
is given to subjects in the schools
of religion, schools of journalism, and
similar university departments.
All of the university's language and
literature departments—Greek and
Latin, French and Spanish, German
and English, are participating in the
program.
Dr. Foerster declares he is seeking
to break down artificial department­al
barriers between these closely re­lated
subjects, and to keep the com­mon
life and specialized interests of
the languages in the foreground.
Rapid advancement has been shown
in the activities of the three Auburn
choral organizations, the Men's and
Women's Glee Clubs, and the Choral
Society, which give presentations
throughout the year.
This semester Professor Brigham
• '.as the largest group he has ever
had in Auburn. The men's club
consists of sixty-five basses, baritones
and tenors. Some of these members
were elected by elimination contests
and represent some of the best sing­ers
the club has had in recent years,
according to Professor Brigham. The
club has been singing many songs in
an attempt to build up a repertoire
with which to work in the future and
plans to put on an operetta, whibh
will probably be Romeo and Juliet.
This will be a burlesque, and will
be rendered in truly collegiate style.
The club also plans to make a south­ern
trip in February to Mobile and
may go north at a later date. The
men's club made its first public ap­pearance
in Langdon Hall, Thursday
at convocation.
The Women's Glee Club is practis­ing
every week, and will soon give
several local presentations in the
form of party concerts. There are
at present twenty-five members fai
this club.
The Choral Society consisting of
about forty-five members, composed
of both faculty" and townspeople, is
working hard for general improve­ment.
Professor Hazel is accompanist for
the three musical clubs which will
make various radio, convocations and
public appearances during the year
and which, combined, will put on a
Christmas concert prpgram in Decem­ber.
Every boy asks for more than he
expects to get.

$185,000 TEXTILE ENGINEERING
BUILDING NEARS COMPLETION
(Continued from page 1)
can readily supply enough labor to
maintain three times its present num­ber
of mills. This means that there
will soon be a large demand for tex­tile
engineers and Auburn is prepar­ing
herself to train them.
Need for a school of textile engin­eering,
now a reality, was seen by
President Knapp of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute soon after he
was elected and made a study of the
State two years ago. The textile
building, said by cotton manufactur­ing
experts to be one of the best
equipped and most modern in the na­tion,
is a part of the practical real­ization
of his dreams.
"Since the the early days of the
nineteenth century, when immigrants
from the American Seaboard began
to establish large cotton plantations
in Alabama, the fleecy staple has been
the potent factor in Alabama's eco­nomic
structure," said Dr. Knapp in
speaking of the new venture.
"Cotton has indeed been king. It
has been styled both a curse and a
blessing. It brought negroes and a
war, but it has been the South's main­stay
through adversity and prosper­ity.
"The establishment of the school of
textile engineering means that Au­burn
is now ready to study this im­portant
force from the seed to the
finished product. The Experiment
Station is constantly discovering new
facts about varieties to plant and the
best methods of planting, cultivating,
harvesting, and marketing. In the
*Tis Fine to
Dine
at the
PICKWICK
new school students will study the
manufacturing processes which take
place after cotton is baled and before
it is turned out as cloth ready for
retail trade. This makes Auburn a
complete educational institution in
cotton from .seed to cloth. *
"Auburn plans to continue her work
of adding to the efficiency of the
State's foremost enterprises, but she
will continue it on a larger scale.
And as Auburn grows so grows Ala­bama
industry, because Auburn trains
the leaders."
To head the new school, which was
inaugurated more than a year ago,
President Knapp selected Prof. E. W.
Camp, formerly head of the textile
school of Texas Technological College,
Lubbock, Texas. Professor Camp was
the first graduate of the Georgia Tech
school of textile engineering where he
received his deploma in 1901. Follow­ing
this he became an experienced mill
executive, holding positions in mills
in Griffin, Cedartown, and Columbus,
Ga., and Opelika, Ala.
Prof. Camp returned to his Alma
Mater and spent 20 years there teach­ing
in the school of textile engineer­ing.
At first he was instructor but
later became acting director of the
school. From Tech in 1925 he accept­ed
the call to the Texas position from
which he came to Auburn to 1929.
Professor Camp is optimistic over
the outlook. "With a splendid build­ing
and the most up-to-date equip­ment
of any plant in America, located
here in the heart of what is expected
to be the site of future expansion of
the textile industry, the outlook is
bright for a successful school," he
said. "Fifty-five students are al­ready
enrolled and I expect the group
to increase rapidly. The textile pro­fession
is not crowded."
Associated with Professor Camp on
the textile faculty are Charles B.
Ordway, associate professor of tex­tile
engineering, and W. E. Tarrant,
instructor in textiles.
Professor Ordway will teach tex­tile
chemistry, dyeing, and finishing.

in coaching policy. Auburn, with all
the old hodebound prejudices of the
Bible belt—Auburn, near .the east
Alabama men's college, founded in
1857 by «the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, old Auburn of the
deep, deep South jumped aboard the
modern bandwagon and went over
'hook, line and sinker to the Notre
Dame brand of coaching.
"And we have it from the mouth
of the Rev. Col. R. B. McGehee, pas­tor
of the First Methodist Church
and student pastor of the Plainsmen,
that Auburn is simply delighted with
the coaching chaps from Notre Dame.
"The new head coach (the fifth
ccfach in the space of four years) is
Chet Wynne, one of Rockne's great­est
fullbacks, and a Notre Dame grad­uate
of 1922. Maybe the Auburn-ites
were intrigued by Wynne's name,
as an omen of a return to the victory
column; maybe they found him accep­table
because he was of Baptist af­filiations.
Anyway, they have found
him a man with a magnetic person­ality,
who has charmed every one
from the crustiest trustee to the jan­itor
of the gym by his manners and
diplomacy, and who has inspired the
gridders so that they gave a fierce
battle to the powerful team, losing
only 7 to 0, and tossed a bad scare
into Georgia Tech, losing 14 to 12,
only by the margin of a couple of
points after touchdowns.
Building for the Future
"This has been taken as an indi­cation
that Auburn is on the make.
They are building for the future.
Wynne has a three-year contract, and
they are going to give his system a
thorough trial. And they think
Wynne's 'N. D.' system will bring re­sults
in 1931 or '32, for this year's
varsity is practically an all-sopho­more
array, and should really know
the ropes in a year or two.
Auburn's game Saturday will be at
Columbus, Ga., against the Univer­sity
of Georgia. It will be Wynne's
interpretation of the Notre Dame
system versus Harry Mehre's version
of Rockne tactics. Wynne and Meh-re
were in the same class at South
Bend. Wynne hardly dares hope to
come out victorious against the Bull­dogs
of the South that conquered
Yale, but stranger things have hap­pened.
Auburn has shown enough
in its last two games to have made
it one of the surprise teams of the
Conference.
Wynne's likeliest performer is the
spohomore halfback, Jimmie Hitch­cock,
a good carrier and a fine punt­er,
and also a crack shortstop in the
summer time. Another good man is
a six-foot five-inch tackier, weighing
192, one Bob Arthur.
Wynne has Notre Dame men as
assistant coaches: Roger Kiley, a
1922 classmate, and Jack Cannon,
last year an Ail-American guard.
Cannon is handling the freshmen. One
of the things that lured Cannon to
Auburn was the new Ross Chemical
Laboratory, one of the best in the
country. Jack is taking a special
"chem" course now, and according
to Wynne, will go to Harvard next
year to study medicine.
A Kansas Native
Wynne's home is Norton, Kan. He
featured in the backfield at Notre
Dame in 1920 ,and '21, outfits that
Rockne has declared were his ace
teams. In 1922 Wynne coached Mid­land
College, Fremont, Neb., and won
the Nebraska intercollegiate title.
From .1923 through '29 he was head
coach at Creighton tJniversity, Oma­ha.
On the side he practiced law and
for two sessions was a member from
Douglas county in the Nebraska tSate
Legislature..
His hardest task so far, he says,
has been ridding the Auburn players
of the inferiority complex that has
developed out of the last three la­mentable
seasons. He found he had
a fighting gang last week that felt
itself as good as Georgia Tech, and
led Tech most of the game. More
Auburn offensive power is needed,
also an overcoming of the fumbling
habit.
Auburn is one of the few schools
that lacks a concrete stadium; the
scantiest of wooden benches straggle
around Drake Field at the Plains.
Auburn's great ambition is a renew­al
of relations with the University
of Alabama, severed after a student
shindig in 1906. This may come,
about next year, via the Wynne
Notre Dame influence. For in 1931
Alabama's head coach will be Frank
Thomas, a Notre Dame man, and it
is thought Wynne and Thomas will
get togetnfe'r and arrange a game.
And an Auburn-'Bama game would
be a great gate attraction and might
bring in enough money to permit
Auburn to get its long deferred con­crete
stadium. So you can see to
what lengths they go down here in
figuring the benefits of Notre Dame
coaching.
THE NOTRE DAME SYSTEM
TO BE USED BY BOTH
TEAMS IN CLASH SATURDAY
(Continued from page 4)
leave the game in the fourth quarter
which weakened the Tigers a good
deal. His loss might have cost the
Plainsmen the game. Who knows?
Jimmie Hitchcock, whose punting
against Birmingham-Southern in the
opening game this season was nothing
short of marvelous, regained some of
his- form on Grant Field and booted
several lengthy spirals. This was
pleasing to the Auburn tutors because
a capable kicker is one of fhe great­est
assets that a team-can possess.
Columbus will also be the scene of
the battle between the two frosh
teams from Georgia and Auburn Sat­urday.
Both "are boasting of strong
teams and are expected to wage a
strong battle in the preliminary con­test
to the varsity imbroglio. The
Cub-Bullpup game will be played in
the morning.
(Continued from page 1)
was Wednesday and then the scrim­mage
lasted only a short while com­pared
to others that have been given.
Plenty of work has been meted out,
but mock battles have been slightly
obsolete.
This old classic which has been
fought in Columbus since 1919, except
last year when they battled in Geor
gia's new stadium, will be sort of a
homecoming for four of the coaches.
Chet Wynne and Roger Kiley, Auburn
tutors, and Herry Mehre and Frank
Thomas, Georgia mentors, played to­gether
at Notre Dame and all grad­uated
in 1922. Wynne and Thomas
.were star backs and Kiley and Mehre
were outstanding linesmen.
This quartet played o nthe undefeat­ed
teams produced by Knute Rockne
in 1919 and 1920 and also on the 1922
eleven which lost only to Iowa. Mehre
and Kiley also played on the cage
five. They are boon companions now
and will be after the game, but for
about two hours Saturday afternoon,
they will forget their intimacy.
Saturday's tilt will be the 35th
between these two leading state in­stitutions.
Georgia has won 16 games
Auburn 14 and four have ended in
ties.
Coach Wynne will take his whole
squad to Columbus in busses early
Saturday morning. The players mak­ing
the trip are: Capt. Harkins, Alt.-
Capt. Taylor, Johnson, Jordan, Hill,
Kirkby, Burt, Schlich, Bush, Jones,
Simpkins, Wood, Holdcroft, Molpus,
Arthur, Wagnon, Miller, Prim, Wil­son,
Egge, McRee, Grant, Mason,
Senn, Creel, Parker, Davidson, Tamp-lin,
Hatfield, Hitchcock, Phipps, Cook,
Jenkins, Creighton, Brown, Pate, Wi-ble
and Shackleford.
The probable lineup for Auburn is:
Egg and Grant, ends; Arthur and
Prim, tackles; Schlich and Jones,"
guards; Harkins, center; Davidson,
quarterback; Pate and Hitchcock,
halfbacks, and Brown, bullback.
The two frosh elevens from Auburn
and Georgia will meet at ten o'clock
Saturday morning on the same turf
when the two varsity elevens clash
at 2:00. J
The starting lineup for the Auburn
frosh probably will be: Ariail and
McCollum, ends; Holmes and Garris,
tackles; Jones and Chambless, guards;
Weaver, center; Baker, quarterback;
Phipps and Neal, halfbacks, and Bum­pers,
fullback.

Students To Attend
Baptist Conference
Twenty-five Auburn students will
attend the All-Southern Baptist Con­ference
to be held in Atlanta from
October 30th to November 2nd.
Representatives from eighteen
states are expected to attend this
conference, and preparations are be­ing
made to accommodate two thous­and
visiting students. Practically all
of the Baptist student workers of
the South will attend the conference.
Each state delegation has been as-signed
a room at the First Baptist
Church for its headquarters, and
these delegations will meet in their
respective rooms Saturday afternoon
to elect state officers and to decide
the place of next year's B. S. U.
State Convention.
Their program for the conference
is built around three great subjects:
Student Problems, Missions, and
Christian Citizenship. There will be
an equal number of student and adult
speakers on program. Among the
adult, speakers will be included the
presidents of some of our well-known
schools.
At this conference, students will
witness Baptist students from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande and from
the Blue Ridge to the Rockies, and
their keynote will be "Christ, my
only necessity."
Many Contributions
, Received By Library
Several valuable contributions
have been made to the college lib­rary
during the .year 1929-1930. The
largest contribution being a gift of
648 books, made by the Birmingham
Public Library. Among other con­tributors
were, Lt. Barth, 63 books;
Capt. Leitch, 6 books; Prof. Kenneth
Daughrity, 29 books; and Miss Kate
