TWENTY-FIVE SENIOR CIVILS
WILL MAKE INSPECTION TOUR
OF ATLANTA AND VICINITY
Inspection of Plants and Equip­ment
in Atlanta Planned
TO LEAVE MONDAY
Three Day Program Will Give
Seniors Insight Into Actual
Practice Methods
FIRST TRIP OF YEAR
Georgia Institute of Technology
And State Highway Dept.
To Be Visited
More than twenty-five seniors of
the Department of Civil Engineering,
accompanied by Professors John A.
C. Callan and A. C. Barrow, will
make an inspection trip to Atlanta
November 24, 25, and 26.
A varied program has been laid
out by the Civil Engineering Depart­ment,
covering an extensive survey
of many points of interest. Monday,
at 9:45 a. m., the students will meet
in front of the Georgia Tech Civil
Engineering Building to view the
equipment and facilities of the Civil,
Mechanical, Architectural and Ceram­ics
Departments. Then the group
will journey to the Atalnta Water
Works to examine their pumping ap­paratus
and new buildings. Later,
after inspecting some different down
town office buildings, the students
will go to Stone Mountain to review
present methods of quarrying.
i
Tuesday, after observing form and
mould making and kiln burning meth­ods
at the Atlanta Terra Cotta Works
Co., the seniors will journey to the
Armco Corrugated Culvert Pipe
Company. Following dinner, the
Civils will visit the offices of the
State Highway Department to inspect
their drafting, testing and statistical
equipment. At four o'clock, the
Austin Brothers Structural Steel
Plant will be visited in order to ex­amine
various methods of cutting,
planing and riveting.
Wednesday's program is planned
to start the day by going to the plant
of the Atlanta Blue Print Works and
later to Sears Roebuck Company. At
2:30 p. m. the students are scheduled
to go to the Ford Assembly Plant
and then to the /site of the Atlanta
Steel Company. The visit to the At­lanta
Penitentiary and the Airport
will undoubtedly prove a novel cli­max
for the inspection trip.
This is the first trip the Senior
Civils have made so far this year and
it is being anticipated by all who in­tend
to go.

Five Faculty Members
Attended Atlanta Meet
Five members of the Auburn fac­ulty
attended the recent fourth an­nual
meeting of the Southern Eco­nomic
Association in Atlanta, Novem­ber
14th and 15th. The Auburn rep­resentatives
were Dr. J. W. Scott,
dean of the school of science and
literature, and Professors Crow,
Goff, Macon, and Rauber. Many oth­er
schools sent delegates, and several
of the large industries of the South
were represented. A total of about
175 were present.
One delegate from each state that
is a member of the association gave
a report of the economic condition
of that state. Dr. Scott represented
Alabama. Other subjects discussed
were chain stores, agriculture, fi­nance,
and in general, the industri­alization
of the South. Among -the
"important speakers weer Dr. Holmes,
of the Bureau of Economics of the
United States Department of Agri­culture,
and Dr. Carver of Harvard
University. A banquet was given
Friday night, at which the president
of the association, Dean W. J. Math-ery,
of the University of Florida, out­lined
the purpose of the organization
and the principles that it stands for.
The Association was organized for
i
the purpose of studying the economic
condition of the South and making
reports to its members.
MISS GLANTON GOES
TO WASHINGTON FOR
WELFARE GATHERING
White House Is Scene of Con­ference
Attended By 2,000
Child Welfare Workers
Miss Louise P. Glanton, head of
the Home Economics Department is
now representing Auburn at the
White House Conference in Washing­ton,
D. C, on "Child Health and
Protection", from Nov. 19-22. She
was notified of her appointment by
an official invitation from President
Hoover. She left Auburn Thursday,
Nov. 13th.
Miss Glanton holds the bachelors
and masters degree from Columbia
University, and has also studied in
Yale University and at Sarbonne,
Paris.
The past summer Miss Glanton was
a delegate from the American Home
Economics Association to the Inter­national
Conference oh "Family Edu­cation"
which met in Liege, Belgium.
At the outset of the conference re­ports
will be made of the findings of
1,200 child life investigators who
during the past 18 months have been
investigating the daily habits of 48,-
000,000 children. These 1,200 in­vestigators
with probably 2,000 other
investigators in child welfare will at­tend
the conference.
One of the sections of the confer­ence
will be devoted to medical train­ing,
another to public health, a third
to educational training, and the
fourth to handicapped children.
There will be 17 reports of the find­ings
of the 1,200 investigators deal­ing
with every phase of child life
from prenatal days to the entrance
of the child into manhood or woman­hood.
Professional Clubs
Compete In Debates
There are to be a series of debat­ing
contests between all the profes­sional
societies on the campus ac­cording
to the officials of Alpha Phi
Epsilon, honorary forensic fraterni­ty
which is to sponsor the contest.
These debates are to be in the form
of elimination contest's, to take place
sometime before mid-term and this is
the-first time that such a plan has
been attempted between the profes­sional
societies. It will have no con­nection
with the annual debates be­tween
the literary societies which are
sponsored by Phi Delta Gamma, in
the spring of each year.
Full particulars as to the subject
of the debates, the prize to be given
and the time of the elimination con­tests
will be worked out at some later
date and announced in this paper.
The purpose of Alpha Phi Epsilon
is to sponsor forensic work on the
campus. The officers of the orga­nization
are: T. E. Kipp, President;
T. N. Pyke, Vice-president; and Mar­garet
Lawenz, Secretary and Treas­urer.
The Twin Cities of Auburn and
Opelika are moving toward greater
financial success as shares of the Au-burn-
Opelika Airport stock continue
to be sold. Subscriptions have
mounted to over $2000 as plans for
the project are being perfected. Mr.
Hollingsworth, secretary of the Ope­lika
Chamber of Commerce, reports
the following subscriptions: J. S.
Hagedorn, one share; Dr. Bruce, one;
Jacob A. Walker, one; Jessie Stal
ings, one; Drs. Peacock and McLure,
one; and the Auburn Lions club have
tacfcen another share. The terms for
the sale of the stock are: one-fourth
cash; one-fourth Jan. 1st, 1931; one-fourth
April 1st, 1931; and the rest
July 1st, 1931.
This project, which will strength­en
the connection of Auburn and
Opelika with the greatest cities of
the U. S., has been brewing for two
years. The clubs of Auburn and
Opelika, the Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary,
and the Commercial Club of Opelika,
are sponsoring the movement, with
Dr. Knapp and Lt. Finch the chief
agitators. Dr. Knapp has long seen
the necessity for a joint airport, and,
according to Lt. Finch, was the orig­inator
of the movement.
The Auburn-Opelika Airport will
be a stock company with stock at $50
a share, subscribed by the people of
Aubui-n and Opelika. After the
stock has been sold the stockholders
will meet and elect officers to control
the interests of the company. The
stock is secured by land purchased
at market price, which makes it an
investment of the nature of a first
mortgage bond with the added ad­vantage
that the land will increase in
value with the airport improvement.
The airport will be located four
miles due east of Auburn on the old
Auburn-Opelika road._ The largest
passenger transports will be accom­modated,
as there will be two half-mile
runways of ample width run­ning
in the direction of season winds.
The runways have natural drainage.
A. P. I. will have a strong connec­tion
with the airport as Dr. Knapp
and other influential members of the
faculty are^ potent factors in the
movement for its construction. Also,
the survey work for the road has
been done by the Civil Engineering
Department of the college. The aero­nautic
department of the school will
use the field for reesarch work, but
it is not known yet whether actual
flying instruction will be given.
The grading work has been prom­ised
by the county, and a grading
chart is being prepared for the work.
Statistics show that the largest
cities are those with the best trans­portation
faciliies to connect them
with the rest of the country. The
phenomenal spread of air transport
lines which has penetrated every
corner of the country makes airports
necessary for further progress. There
are now 1,700 aiports in the U. S.,
and 40 per cent of these airports
showed a profit in 1929 from conces­sions,
rents and fees.
Many progressive citizens of the
state believe that the future progress
of northeastern Alabama depends, to
a large degree, upon the successful
sale of the Auburn-Opelika Airport
stock. Without an airport the trans-portational
facilities of Auburn and
Opelika are limited, and, without air
transportation, progress will be re­tarded
greatly in the future, leading
citizens contend.
FRESHMEN TO ELECT
CLASS OFFICERS AT
POLLS NOVEMBER 25
Polls To Be Open From 8 To
5 O'Clock Tuesday
CONDUCTED BY CABINET
Large Number Of Candidates
In Field For Freshman
Class Offices
Notice
Engineering students who failed
to receive Auburn Engineers or who
received copies with incorrect post-office
addresses are requested to send
their address to the Auburn Engi­neer,
box 457, Auburn, Alabama.
Freshman elections will be held
Tuesday, November 25 at the Y. M.
C. A. office. The polls will be open
from eight o'clock until five, and
the election committee urges all stu­dents
registered as freshmen to cast
their votes during that time. Prompt­ly
at the latter hour the polls will
be closed and no more votes accept­ed.
There are several rules and some
information which the committee
would like to bring to the attention
of the Freshman class. All voting
must be done in person and none by
proxy. There must be absolutely no
electioneering at the polls and any
protest as to the result of the elec­tion
must be presented to the Exe­cutive
Cabinet on Wednesday.
The voting is done by secret bal­lot
in the Preferential System. The
voter on entering receives a ballot
which contains a complete list of
nominees grouped according to office
and arranged in alphabetical order.
He fills this out by numbering the
names in the order of his preference,
numbering as many as he likes. He
signs the list, and on exit drops it
into a locked ballot box. The count­ing
is done by the members of the
Executive Cabinet in the following
manner. The ballots are grouped ac­cording
to the first choice. They are
then counted, and if one candidate
has a majority he is elected. If no
one has a majority the one with the
least number of votes is dropped
from the list and his ballots distri­buted
among the other candidates ac­cording
to the second choice. This
is continued until one person is elec­ted.
The results will be announced in
Wednesday's issue of the Plainsman.
Members of the Executive Cabinet
request that no one ask them the
results until they are officially an­nounced,
as it is not permitted for
them to divulge the outcome before
formal announcement has been made
by the Cabinet.

A typical Auburn send-off was giv­en
members of the team Thursday
night as they embarked for Nashville
where they will play the Vanderbilt
Commodores Saturday. After a gla­morous
torchlight parade through the
streets, during which feeling was
keyed to a high pitch, the crowd
gathered at the. station and showed
the members of the team that they
were being backed to the fullest ex­tent
of the students' power. As the
train pulled out, the band struck up
"Glory, Glory" and kept it up until
the train disappeared into the dark­ness.
Hopes are high for a confer­ence
victory, since the team showed
fine form and fighting spirit in the
light scrimmage during practice last
Thursday afternoon. During the
evening, Happy Davis announced that
there would be a mass meeting dur­ing
open practice Tuesday evening

Professor Talks About Archi­tecture
For Homes In
Alabama
By Walter L. Randolph
"What kind of a house should an
Alabamian build? Ars there any
well-defined precedents for architec­tural
styles "in Alabama- Does this
State have a type of architecture
that could be called Alabamian?
What types of architecture are most
pleasing and adaptable to Alabama."
These questions started Professor
Keith Graham Reeve to talking about
Alabama, Alabama homes, and Ala­bama
architecture. His remarks
proved interesting as well as infor­mative,
especially to those planning
a home.
Professor Reeve is assistant pro­fessor
of architectural design in the
school of architecture and allied arts
at Auburn. He has studied at Wash­ington
University, and the Universi­ty
of Illinois. He is an author, hav­ing
written "Tlie French House for

REPORTERS OF
PLAINSMAN TO
MEET SUNDAY
There will be a meeting of the Re­porters
of the Plainsman at the Sig­ma
Pi House, on Sunday evening at
6:45 o'clock. Reporters are urged
to be present at the appointed hour, p
At a meeting in Opelika Friday
representatives of luncheon clubs of
Opelika and Auburn took steps to
cooperate as organizations in Lee
County relief work. They will co­operate
^with welfare workers and
also with the general organizations
recently formed and headed by Is-ham
J. Dorsey.
Dr. A. B. Graham was asked to
confer with Mr. Dorsey and arrange
a conference with chairmen of the
luncheon club committees at which
a specific plan of procedure will be
worked out and adopted.
It was pointed out that these clubs
can assist in raising money and al­so
clothes and other things needed
by families in dire distress and want.
County Agent C. H. Bedingfield
told the group that there are many
needy families in the county and
that there will be many more when
tenants are forced to move out of
the homes which they now occupy.
Clubs represented at the meeting
were the Kiwanis and Rotary club of
Auburn and Kiwanis, Rotary, and
Lions of Opelika. It was announced
that the Auburn Lions club is hear­tily
in accord with the movement,
making it unanimous among the
luncheon clubs of the county. P. O.
Davis served as chairman and Mr.
Bedingfield as secretary of the meet­ing.

FINAL MASS MEETING
TO BE HELD TUESDAY
Coaches And Letter Men Will
Address Assembly; Large
Turn Out Expected
The final mass meeting of the year
will be held on Drake Field^Tuesday
afternoon during open practice.
Plans are under way to have the
coaches and senior members of the
team say a few words on this occa­sion.
This rally will give the stu­dents
an opportunity to cheer the
team while they are running through
their preparations for the game with
South Carolina to be played in Co­lumbus
on Thanksgiving Day. It
will also give the students an oppor­tunity
to see how hard the team has
been working during the season in
spite of several reverses.
This affair is being sponsored by
the Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary
fraternity which has been very active
on the campus this year. A large
crowd should be present to see the
members of the team put forth a fin­al
effort to bring a conference vic­tory
to Auburn. Some of the play­ers
will be going through their last
practice for their Alma Mater, since
they will graduate next May.
A definite time for the ceremonies
will be announced after the sponsors
have conferred with the cheer lead­ers
and the coaches.

By Elmer G. Salter
Sam McAllister, head coach of
football, basketball and baseball at
St. Viator College, Bourj»onnais, 111.,
has been appointed assistant football
and head basketball and baseball
coach at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, reporting to his new duties
here, December 1.
The addition of McAllister to Au­burn's
coaching staff gives the Plains­men
seven mentors who were out­standing
athletes during their colleg­iate
careers. Chet Wynne, Roger
Kiley and Jack Cannon received All-
American recognition while playing
at Notre Dame; Earl McFaden and
Weems Baskin were selected as the
best in the Southern Conference;
Wilbur Hutsell was a brilliant track
luminary at the University of Mis­souri,
and the latest member of the
corps ranked high in three sports at
St. Viator.
McAllister lives at Oak Park, 111.,
but attended prep school at St. Mary
College .Academy, St. Mary, Kansas,
and received one year of college
training there at St. Mary College.
After his plebe year at St. Mary, he
entered St. Viator and graduated in
1926.
While in prep school, he was coach­ed
by O'Rourke of Holy Cross for
two years, and his final year was tu­tored
by Conway of the same col­lege.
These two mentors successful­ly
prepared him for a brilliant col­lege
career. •
Entering St. Viator in 1923, Mc­Allister
starred in the trio of sports
that he is going to coach at Auburn.
He played tackle on the gridiron;
guard on the hardwood five, and was
an outfielder and pitcher on the base­ball
team. He was a triple threat in
football because he kicked and passed
with unerring accuracy and was fast
and fancy enough to be chosen one
of the best in the Little Nineteen
Conference, of which St. Viator is
a member, his junior and senior
years. He was aided with an ideal
frame because he is over six feet
tall and sends the scales soaring to
190.
His coaches at St. Viator were
Ralph Glaze and Jack Crangle, form­er
Dartmouth and Illinois luminaries.
Crangle was selected as All-Western
fullback while sparkling under Zup-pke.
An honor was accorded McAllister
in the summer of 1926 that falls to
very few athletes, regardless of their
playing ability. He was selected head
coach at St. Viator upon his gradu­ation,
succeeding Crangle, who had
resigned to accept the post as back-field
coach at the University of Mis­souri.
Since assuming the duties as head
coach at his Alma Mater, the has
made remarkably fine records, espe­cially
in basketball and baseball. His

FRESHMAN ELECTIONS
Tuesday is voting day for members of
the Freshman Class. Five class officers
will be elected by the first-year men, name­ly,
president, vice-president, secretary,
treasurer, and historian.
It is hoped that every freshman will ex­ercise
his privilege by going to the Y. M.
C. A. between the hours of eight and five
o'clock, and vote for the candidates of his
choice. In the past, only a comparatively
small number of freshmen have shown in­terest
in the elections, and last year a mini­mum
vote was cast when only one-third* of
the freshmen voted. Such a poor showing
was attributed to the lack of interest on
the part of the. men, and it-should not be
duplicated by this year's class.
Freshmen are especially cautioned to read
Article III, Regulations of Permanent Com­mittees
of the Executive Cabinet, in which
the voting system is explained.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The announcement that the four liter­ary
societies that have formerly been on
the campus had been combined into only
two organizations did not some as a sur­prise
to those who srre interested in such
societies.
We believe that this was a wise move
on the part of those who executed it. Au­burn
could not support four societies, and
it remains to be seen whether or not two
of them will survive the test.
In the past few years, the societies have
not fulfilled the purposes for which they
were created, and it was a step forward
when the societies were organized Tuesday
evening.
Whether or not the new arrangement of
of societies will be successful will depend
on the amount of interest that members
show. One student, through the medium
of the Letters to the Editor column, was
correct when he intimated that the members
can get as much from literary society as
they choose to put into it.
Unless the two societies are successful,
we see no need for them to continue to
operate, but we do hope that they will do
some good, as there are always those stu­dents
who are willing to do the type of
work that a literary society sponsors. They
are the ones who will profit by the con­tinuation
of literary societies.
GOVERNOR GRAVES AND
AUBURN
On November 1 Governor and Mrs.
Graves were in Auburn. They came the
night before in order that the Governor
and Dr. Knapp might participate in honor­ary
fraternity exercises and be ready for
the dedication of Bullard Field the next
morning. The next afternoon Governor and
Mrs. Graves, along with President and
Mrs. Knapp, enjoyed the Auburn-Wofford
football game.
In a talk at the dedication Governor
Graves mentioned that it was his last time
to participate as Governor in a military
exercise at Auburn. Twice annually since
he has been in office he has come to Au­burn
for military reviews. With a splend­id
record and a keen interest in military
affairs, the Governor appeared each time
to get genuine pleasure from his military
functions at Auburn.
There was a touch of sadness in his talk
at the Bullard Field dedication. It was I
I
the passing from the stage of action of a
staunch friend of Auburn. As governor he
has made a great success and future gene­rations
will thank him and admit their in­debtedness
to him for he has made educa­tion
his major effort..
In traveling over the State Governor
Graves was alert in observing educational
conditions. He kept himself informed about
schools, educational facilities, and condi­tions.
Consequently he entered the office
of governor with a burning desire to make
a record as an education governor. He did
his best to give better educational opportun­ities
to every boy and girl and man and
woman in Alabama. And he succeeded.
What he has done for Auburn and other
institutions of higher learning are facts
now recorded but his work has not reached
its maximum value. It will be enhanced
from year to year.
As a result of the work of Governor
Graves, students at Auburn now have more
and better buildings, more and better lab­oratories
and laboratory equipment, larger
faculty, new courses, and many other ad­vantages.
The experiment station is much
better financed and is launching a large re­search
program in behalf of the people of"
the State. Likewise the extension service
has had his most hearty sympathy and
also his untiring support.
Although Governor Graves may never of­ficially
participate again in a military af­fair
at Auburn, he will always be a wel­come
visitor on the campus and sons and
daughters of Auburn will continue to real­ize
that he has been and still is their
friend; and that he has rendered a cour­ageous
and outstanding service for the peo­ple
of Alabama, not only educationally but
along other lines.
STUDENT DIRECTORY
The directory of the administrative staff
faculty and the students that has recently
been completed by the Registrar with the
assistance of officials of the Y. M. C. A.
will prove to be of much value to both stu­dents
and faculty members.
This is the second directory that has
been compiled. Last year marked the first
time that such a long-needed want was
filled, and it was found to be so successful
in its purpose that the administration de­cided
to publish the directory for each
year.
Both students and faculty will find many
opportunities that will prove the need and
worth of the directory, and the Registrar's
Office is to be congratulated for its work
in compiling the figures and data used
in the directory.
Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsman,
Dear Sir:
There exists in this institution a very
deplorable condition, and I think something
should be said and done to try to improve it.
I refer to the unbecoming conduct of a
great number of students upon occasions
when the student body is called together at
Langdon hall to hear some one speak. On
Armistice Day while the principal speaker
of the occasion was trying to give out some
information upon questions which he, a man
of experience, deemed to be important and
worthy of deep consideration, he had to
shout to the top of his voice over the din
caused by a number of scattered-brained
morons who could not concentrate their at­tention
for one hour. It seems to me that
they could have at least kept quiet by go­ing
to sleep if the words of the congress­man
were of so little consequence to them.
Instead, they proceeded to shuffle their
feet, talk, and laugh, thereby depriving
those who wished to hear what the speak­er
said from hearing, and worst of all—em­barrassing
the speaker.
Perhaps the cognomen, morons, applied to
those thoughtless students may seem some­what
harsh and extreme, but their juve­nile
conduct certainly places them in that
category. No person it seems to me, with
average intelligence and any idea of pro­priety
would indulge in such "high school
stuff." Such actions should be gone from
the lives of college students because they
are supposed to beyond that age.
I think the most vital consideration in
this connection is the impression we make
on outsiders who visit our assemblies from
time to time. Students should take this
very seriously and realize that it is certain­ly
detrimental to the future welfare and
growth of Auburn. They have only to place
themselves in the position of the speaker
on such occasions and imagine the impres­sion
they would get, and the humility they
would suffer if a crowd of students showed
such indifference to their words. Visitors
who witness such demonstrations will nat­urally
go away from here with a low esti­mation
of the type of men who compose
this student body. I am sure they will be
reluctant in recommending Auburn, which
in the long run greatly affects the institu­tions
growth. This fact should strike deep
into the minds of loyal Auburn men whose
ambition is to see Auburn become the great
institution that the administration's pro­gressive
program hopes to make it.

The Bog of Technique
BY RAYMOND E. HOWES
In The Wiley Bulletin
Nothing has more strongly marked the
recent progress of education than the de­velopment
of new techniques. Every month
brings tidings of a new type of examina­tion,
an improvement of the intelligence
test, an easier method of teaching foreign
languages, or a novel application of the
talking movie. This multiplication of edu­cational
tools is highly beneficial, but it
has brought in its train at least one major
evil, the tendency to consider these tools
as ends in themselves rather than as means
for attaining fundamental purposes. The
true-andVfalse test, to take a single ex­ample,
is an admirable method of discover­ing
in a brief time whether the student
knows a certain group of facts; but if used
exclusively it may defeat one of the basic
purposes of all education, training the stu­dent
to think.
This tendency to glorify means at the
expense of basic ends is no new thing, nor
is it confined to education. Teachers, like
business men, fall into it at times because
their work becomes monotonous, but they
shake it off less easily than business men
because the results of their efforts are not
so readily apparent. If a merchant uses a
poor advertisement, his sales decrease. But
a teacher, excited by the novelty of testing
students for I. Q.'s, may waste several
weeks of valuable class time without any
immediate effect. Furthermore, if he be­comes
sufficie»tly absorbed in intelligence
tests, he may decide that when he has dis­covered
the I. Q.'s he has accomplished
something more vital than imparting know­ledge
of American history or English lit­erature;
and proof to the contrary is suffi­ciently
vague to offer argument rather than
fiat denial. It is one of the most unfortu­nate
facts about education that the student
rather than the teacher is penalized for the
results.
The results, sooner or later, do show.
Instructors of college Freshmen are con­tinually
amazed at some of their students'
shortcomings. Sometimes a third of a class
in English composition will be utterly in­capable
of writing a coherent paragraph.
Many of the students have passed a series
of intelligence tests with high marks. But
somehow nobody anywhere along the line
has found it necessary to teach them how
to organize their ideas. Give them true-and-
false tests on the rules of grammar
and they pass with flying colors. But ask
them, to make the first step toward thinking
and they fail.
This is not meant as a general indictment
of secondary education. It would be unfair,
without a thorough investigation, to say
that half, or a quarter, or even a tenth of
our high school teachers have succumbed to
the spell of technique. It would be even
more unfair to make them the center of
attention, because the same tendency is
probably equally pronounced among teach­ers
in the colleges. I have taken courses
from a number of professors who have for­gotten
the basic purpose of such a common
device as the final examination. Funda­mentally,
I suppose, an examination is good
if it adequately and fairly tests the stu­dent's
"taking over the enemy's positions,
direct or overwhelming assault, scattering
the enemy's forces, retreating, skirmishing,
drawing the enemy's fire, bottling-up the
enemy, evading traps, concealing the ob­jective,
and withholding reserves." When
a debater concentrates his efforts on beat­ing
the enemy rather than upon convincing
his audience, he attains no recognized
speech purpose.
It would be easy, but perhaps unprofit-abel,
to pile up further examples. I might
shift for a moment from pedagogy to re­search
and tell the story of the graduate
student who discovered, by painstaking use
of the statistical method, that the mean
color of high school year books is purplish
brown, or the tale of the new-fledged Ph.D.
who was entrusted with the task of prepar­ing
a memorial address on a late psycholo­gist
and presented his conclusions in the
form of answers to a questionnaire. But I
shall refrain. Such instances, though they
help to indicate the trend, are doubtless
exceptional. How great or small the trend
is in other departments of high school and
college work others can estimate better
than I.
It has been my experience, #s a teacher,
of English and public speaking, that the
tendency of technique to obscure essential
purpose is strong. The condition cannot be>
improved by shrugging one's shoulders and
saying,' "Oh, everybody knows that a tool
has no value unless it fidfills its purpose."
Sooner or later one learns that even the
most obvious platitudes sometimes need be­laboring;
otherwise, in these hectic days,
they may beepme entirely lost in the shuffle.

can accomplish the ideal of bettering this
condition.

CAGLE'S SPORTSMANSHIP
"About the poorest display of sportsman­ship
on the part of a coach that this writer
has ever heard of was the recent act of
Chris Cagle. Mississippi A. & M. is in
the process of reconstruction, gridironical-ly
speaking, and if they ever needed a color­ful
leader and a man that could be a true
leader to his players, they need it now. His
act in quitting outright, without notice, is
putrid in our estimation. It's true the
Aggie have had rough going so far but it
can be said, at least that they have fought
and our opinion in the matter is that Cagle
gave up the ghost to keep from getting a
bad record in his first year as a mentor.
We've always known of that as coward­ice!"—

SYMPATHY?
The Exchange Editor for the Florida
student paper has this to say about our
Tigers: "Sympathy is all the school papers
seem to give the Auburn grid team. Much
dtist has collected in musty corners since
this institution has won a conference foot­ball
game and she now appears weaker
than ever before." Lucky for the Gator
that Auburn is a little weak for she bare­ly
wrung out a 6-0 win over the Tiger. Or
did the Gator just have an off day? Or
was the dear editor expecting the Tiger to
submerge the Gator?

QUITE NATURAL
A freshman at Emory University liked
to see people play miniature golf so well
that he refused to leave a miniature golf
course when ordered to do so by the owner,
who tries to keep non-participants out of
the way. A cop was called and the unso­phisticated
freshman was speedilyx taken
to the city jail where he spent a comfort­able
night. The next day he was fined
$12.00 by the City recorder for disorderly
conduct.
* * * *
PECULIAR? YES
They have a peculiar system at Roches­ter,
according to an editorial in the Campus
about it. Sophomores can steal the fresh­men's
caps and make them buy the head­gear
back. All the freshmen is able to do
is stand off and be deprived and then re­purchase
his hat. A close rival for the
gangster, yes?

From Carnegie Tech we obtain the follow­ing:
"A college Utopia is being realized at

in comfortable chairs or arrange them­selves
at tables. The room may be silent as
the students read or write, or there may
be a buzz of conversation as they discuss
some aspect of the subject which they are
studying. The instructor sits at his desk
and listens to the discussion. He answers
questions when asked, but his primary pur­pose
is to keep quiet.

NOW FOR THE CO-EDS
The latest fad for co-eds at the Universi­ty
of California is turtle racing. The races
are run over a hundred yard track, and
require almost an hour to finish.
While a professor of speech at the Michi­gan
State Normal College has discovered
that lisping is an asset to a woman in at­tracting
men. Is that what it is called?
* * * *
CO-EDS FOR WHAT?
Boston University co-eds may be good to
look at and all the other things you say
about co-eds but along with all their "It"
they must be diplomatic, political or some­thing
of the sort. Anyway they "rule the
roost" at C. L. A. so far as classes are
concerned, four co-eds being president of
the four classes.
But that isn't all they're good for. They
are in on making trouble for the cops in
more ways than causing sheiks to keep
their cars parked before one domicile too
long. The cops seem not to mind having
sheiks run off the chalk marks, which they
have placed upon the above cars to check
up on their time, but they get nervous?
When a co-ed trys persistently to vamp
him, and innocently asks if it's all right to
park at a certain spot when a "no park­ing"
sign is in plain view. Such is the
life of a cop!

D'Annunzio, a typical Italian, is one of
those Romantic Europeans who lived al­most
entirely on his emotions, on his de­sires.
A sharp contrast can be drawn be­tween
him and the German novelist, Her­mann
Sudermann. The latter writes intel­lectual
literature; the former does not.
Sudermann is representative of that deep-thinking
group of Germans who are writ­ing
masterpieces every year. D'Annunzio
does not appeal to the intellect. His works
are based on his liaisons and adventures
with women. That is as far as he can go.
Sudermann tries to do his part toward
solving the mysteries of life, while D'An­nunzio
takes everything for granted, and
in his true Epicurean style believes that
to enjoy life one must "eat, drink, and
be merry."
Of the two writers, I prefer Sudermann.
He has something to give to the reader,
something that he believes is helpful, while
D'Annunzio writes sensations, things that
he has felt and enjoyed.

Since I have at last run out of some­thing
to write about, I will stop with the
following poem, which has been published
in this paper before. But no one will no­tice
the difference, as ninety-nine one-hundredths
of the student body do not read
poetry unless they have to.
"So I'm thinking of throwing the battle,
There's little in giving or taking,
There's little in water or Wine,
This living, this living, this living,
Was never a project of mine.
O hard is the struggle and sparse is
The gain of the one at the top,
For art is a form of carharsis
And love is a permanent flop
And work is the province of cattle,
And rest's for a clam in a shell
So I'm thinking of throwing the battle,
Will you kindly direct me to Hell?
—Anon.
MODIFIED FOOTBALL
In The Hornet we find the following clip­ping:
"When people were most severely criti­cising
football for its roughness, and were
making drastic changes in the rules, some­one
printed a small folder that contained a
proposed set of rules.
"The field shall be covered with two feet
of cotton batting, over which is placed a
three-fourth-inch carpet.
"The price of tickets shall be left -to the
spectator, he paying for the same at the
gate, whatever he thinks is right.
"The ball must be covered with pale blue
or pink satin, tied with baby ribbon.
"The only cheering permitted shall be
the rah! rahs! given by a student chosen
by the faculty. These cheers shall be
given a4- the close of each half.
"Each player shall be provided with a
flag three inches in length, of the college
colors, and a small butterfly net covered
with soft felt.
"When a player wishes to tackle a run­ner
he must wave his flag three times in
front of the runner's face, not higher than
the nose or lower than the waist. The
holder of the ball must say: 'Fee, fie, fo,
fum; I have the ball and now I run.' The
tackier must reply, 'Tweedle dum, tweedle
dee,' at the same time catching the run­ner
with his butterfly net."
That's quite nice, but read the following
which appeared in a recent issue of the
Spectator:
"Any intentional injury inflicted, such
as striking, kicking, butting, choking or.
biting or otherwise injuring, shall be count­ed
as a foul and shall disqualify contestant
so doing from further participation in the
spree." So reads one of the rules for Cane
Spree teams, published in Spectator Nov.
17, 1897.
Why not follow in the footsteps of the
little tots up at Princeton? "Playing
marbles is a privilege of the juniors only
at Princeton, and spinning tops is solely
the sport of seniors." We wonder what is
left up to the poor little freshmen; that '
must be where the co-eds can be brought
into the picture.

TO ANY WIFE
By Berton Braley
And since all is well, might I ask you
All right; I've done something I
shouldn't,
Or failed to do something I should;
Though just what it was I'm uncer­tain,
because
My memory's not very good.
I thought my behavior was perfect;
I don't understand why you're mad;
But it's evident I'm simply steeping
in crime,
And have got myself in very bad.
Did I use the wrong fork for the sa­lad?
Did I fail to pass cream for the tea?
Did I yawn just a bit at your visitor's
wit,
Or what was the matter with me?
I'm wearing the scratchiest sackcloth;
My head in the dustbin is hid;
Oh, please let me live! Oh, forget and
forgive
Whatever it was that I did!
I'm sorry indeed that I did it,
Or didn't—whichever's the case;
Though I can't recall what I have
done—or have not—
I'm plunged into utter disgrace.
You smile, so I know I am pardoned;
My heart gives a leap and a shout;
And since all is well, might I ask you
to tell
Just what all the fuss was about?

TIGERS PREPARE FOR REAL
COMBAT IN NASHVILLE GO
By Elmer G. Salter
Concluding their workouts on Drake
Field in preparation for Vanderbilt,
whom they encounter Saturday at
Nashville, with a lengthy signal drill,
the Auburn Tigers, 29 strong, board­ed
the uppers and lowers owned by
Mr. Pullman on the Piedmont Limit­ed
Thursday night for the scene of
the battle. Saturday's engagement
will be the seventh between the two
elevens, this rivalry starting in 1893
when the Plainsmen emerged victor-iuos,
30 to 10.
Only one scrimmage has been given
the Bengals this week, Tuesday, but
another afternoon was given them to
look over Vandy plays when Wednes­day
was devoted to a dummy scrim­mage,
with the frosh again acting in
the roles of the Gold and Black elev­en.
Tuesday's mock battle was a little
discouraging to the mentors, but it is
believed that their proteges had not
fully recovered from the setback given
them in Birmingham against Missis­sippi
A. and M., because the practices
since the rough work were featured
by the team showing more life and
plenty of gusto.
To take the place of Hannis Prim,
regular tackle who bobbed up with the
mumps Monday, Coaches Kiley and
McFaden have shifted Herbert Miller,
another sophomore, from left tackle
to this vacated berth. Miller will
probably receive the nomination to
start against the Commodores. Alt-
Capt. Erquiet Taylor, George Hold-croft
and John Wilson are the other
right tackles that might get the call
to start.
The other change that has been
made in the varsity lineup since last
Saturday is that Porter Grant, flashy
sophomore wingman, has been, again
shifted from right end to left, taking
the place of George Egge ,who has
been bothered with injuries. Cary
Senn, who is also playing his first
season as a varsity performer, will
probably start at the right terminal.
This will be the Tigers' first in­vasion
of Nashville since losing to the
McGugin machine in 1924, 13 to 0.
Knoxville was the scene of the Au­burn-
Tennessee mud battle last year,
the only other time since 1924 that
the Plainsmen have played in the
Volunteer State.
Last season's game between the
Bengals and Commodores was play­ed
in Birmingham, and was' easily
won by the latter 41 to 2. A repeti­tion
of this score is almost out of the
question, since wearers of the Orange
and Blue have made gallant stands
against Florida, Tulane, Georgia and
Georgia Tech since playing the Notre
Dame style of football.
Vandy rules a favorite again this
year, but it is a 100 to 1 shot that
the fiercest of the jungle beasts will
rn^ke a favorable impression upon
the thousands of fans who are expect­ed
to view Auburn for the first time
under a new coaching regime.
The probable lineup for Auburn in
the Nashville tilt is: Grant, left end;
Arthur, left tackle; Burt, left guard,
Capt. Harkins, or Johnson, center;
Jones, right guard; Miller, right
tackle; Senn, right end; Davidson,
quarterback; Hatfield, left halfback;
Hitchcock, right halfback; and
Brown, fullback.
The other players journeying to
Tennessee's Capital are: Jordan,
Simpkins, Hill, Molphus, Taylor,
Holdcroft, Wilson, Egge, Mason,
Creel, Parker, Tamplin, Phipps,
Creighton, Pate, Shackleford, and
Wible.
Mumps Continue To
Play Havoc With Team
By Elmer G. Salter
Mumps continue to play havoc
with the Auburn Tigers as they pre­pare
for their game with Vanderbilt
in Nashville, Saturday.
Carl Schlich, 200 pound veteran
guard, is the latest wearer of the
Orange and Blue to be added to the
ailing list for the year. He is the
second player to go down this week
and the third of the season to con­tract
the mumps. Hannis Prim, reg­ular
right tackle, waked up with
them Monday and James Bush, an­other
guard, was stricken after the
Wofford tilt.
This is the third loss this year that
has been suffered by the guard de­partment
and the seventh Plainsmen
to be taken from the varsity ranks.
Commodore Wood, probably the lead­ing
guard in pulling out of the line
and mowing down interference, was
the first guard that was taken, while
Leo Young and Will Bassett, half­backs,
and Howard Chappelle, end
and fullback, are the other Bengals
Chet Wynne has lost this season.
Tulane Insists Its
Record Is Superior
Speculation as to the opponent
Washington State College will invite
here for the annual Tournament of
Roses football classic New Year's Day
followed the announcement that the
1930 Pacific coast conference cham­pion
had been chosen to defend the
honor of the far west.
Although no selection of an eastern
or southern opponent is expected un­til
after Thanksgiving, it generally
is understook Northwestern, Alabama,
or Georgia will receive the bid, de­pending
on how they come through
their pending gridiron clashes.
Ray Loomis, representing Cougar
officials here in connection with the
team's choice, admitted these three
universities and at least two others
were being considered.
Dr. Wilbur C. Smith, of Tulane
University, the school which trounc­ed
Georgia, 25 to 0, last Saturday, in
a telegram to the Associated Press
took up the case of his institution.
"Weigh our schedule and our rec­ord
against Alabama's," he wired,
plus the fact that Tulane is defend^
ing southern championship, and I be­lieve
our record superior to Ala­bama's.
Tulane hasn't lost a game
in the south since October, 1928.
Loomis admitted Washington State
has been considering Tulane along
with others.
Jack Cannon to Play
In Charity Contest
By Elmer G. Salter
Jack Cannon, selected on every
representative All-American team
picked in 1929, while performing at
guard on Knute Rockne's undefeated
.Notre Dame eleven, and present fresh­man
coach, will play for his former
mentor in two charity games this
year.
The first benefit tilt that Cannon
will perform in will be Chicago,
Thanksgiving morning, when he plays
with an All-Notre Dame eleven
against an All-Northwestern team.
His second contest will be in New
York City, December 14, against the
New York Giants.
Auburn will be represented by two
members of her coaching staff in the
engagement in New York because
Roger Kiley, end coach, has alsg ac­cepted
an invitation from Rockne to
play against the Giants. Kiley was
also selected as the best in the uni­verse
while starring, at the South
Bend institution. >
High Lights On Auburn-
Miss. A. & M. Game In
Birmingham Saturday
By Tad McCallum
Herrington, Mississippi A. & M.
^halfback, is one of the best backs that
the Tigers have been called upon to
stop this season. Although a feath­erweight,
he runs with more drive
and power than most 180 pounders
and he will stack up along side broth­ers
Suther, Dodd, Roberts, Bethea and
all the rest of the headline ball car­riers.
The Magic City fans turned out
fairly well, considering the terrible
weather, to watch Coach Chet Wynne's
new dedication of the Auburn Tigers
in action. Most of theme were dis­appointed
at the unexpected loss but
agreed that the Plainsmen staged an
improved performance over their last
appearance in Birmingham.
How in the world the Aggies have
received the setbacks that they have
this season is a mystery if they have
performed all season as they did on
Legion Field. A big, hard charging
line and a fast set of backs do not
usually lose football games consist­ently.
Gousett, Maroon center, was prob­ably
the outstanding lineman on the
field Saturday. He seemed to diag­nose
all of Auburn's running plays
instantly and generally got to the ball
carrier before the play got started.
"Sleepy" Brown played his usual
consistent game, backing up the line
in great style and accumulating quite
a bit of Auburn's yardage. Jimmie
Hitchcock was the leading ground
gainer for the Tigers. _
While the Maroons were celebrat­ing
their second Conference victory
they were informed that Coach Cagle
had been granted his release and
would depart shortly after the game.
It has been estimated that a trip
around the world is worth more than
a four-year college education, and
that it can be made for a little less
than the cost of one year in college.
Carey Spicei Leads
South's High Scorers
Carey Spices, Kentucky halfback,
marched through V. M. I. Saturday
for 19 points to take the southern
conference scoring lead away from
Jack Roberts, Georgia fullback, held
scoreless for the third consecutive
game.
Spicer's 75 points tops Roberts'
total by three. Roberts, however, leads
in touchdowns scored, having crossed-tbe
enemy marker 12 times. The
Kentucky star has 11 touchdowns and
9 points after touchdown to his credit.
Berger, Maryland, and Campbell,
Alabama jumped into a tie for third
place, each- boosting his total to 66
points.
In a tie for fourth place are Zim­merman,
Tulane, and Almonkary, L.
S. U., with 65 points each.

Roger Kiley Plays
In Charity Contest
With N. D. Stars
Roger J. Kiley, all-American end at
Notre Dame in 1921 and at present
assistant coach at the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, has accepted an in­vitation
from his former coach, Knute
Rockne, to play in a charity contest
in New York City, Dec. 14.
The team being formed by Rockne
will be composed of his former stars,
including the Four Horsemen, Strul-dreher,
Miller, Crowley and Layden,
and Joe Savoldi, fullback on this
year's Notre Dame team, until drop­ped
from school on account of mat­rimonial
difficulties.
Kiley should be in good conditio*
for the charity tilt because he has
been demonstrating to the Tiger for­wards
all year how the famous Notre
Dame system should function. How­ever,
since receiving the invitation
from Rockne, he has started addition­al
training. Like a large number of
other mentors who demonstrate how
each player should perform, Kiley
also has to pay a frequent visit to the
first-aid room.
In. having Kiley to participate in
the game against the New York
Giants, Rockne will have the receiver
of the great Gipp to Kiley pass com­bination
which was one of the great­est
overhead combinations that the
country has ever seen. Gipp helped
make Kiley and Kiley helped make
Gipp.

STUDES BETTER EQUIPPED
Students entering college today,
in spite of their vast increase in

Tests in mathematics, English and

Pasadena, Cal., Nov. 19.—The in­stitution
which sent a mighty foot­ball
aggregation here New Year's
Day, 1916, to inaugurate the annual
Tournament of Roses gridiron classic
with a western triumph—Washing­ton
State College—again will carry
the honors of the far west into the
intersectional fray January 1.
Following precedent, Hal C. Rey­nolds,
president of the tournament
association, in" making announce­ment
of the selection last night, left
the matter of choosing an opponent
in the hands of the Washington State
officials.
While no official action is expect­ed
immediately, it was understood
here that either Northwestern or
Alabama would get the call to op­pose
the Cougars should they finish
the season undefeated.
Washington State won the Pacific
coast championship last Saturday
by defeating Washington 3 to 0, com­pleting
an undefeated season in the
conference. Among the Cougars' ma­jor
victories was the 7to 6 triumph
over the University of Southern Cali­fornia.
Northwestern faces two obstacles
before being in a position to accept a
possible jnvitation. The Wildcats
must 'defeat Notre Dame Saturday
and then obtain sanction from the
Big Ten conference. Not since Ohio
State lost to California in the Rose
Tournament game of 1921, 28 to 0,
has this permission been available.
Alabama needs only to defeat Geor­gia
on Thanksgiving Day to clear all
obstacres to a third appearance of the.
Crimson Tide in the-annual classic.
The Southerners defeated Washing­ton
20 to 19, in 1926 and tied Stan­ford
7 to 7 the year following.
Since the initial western triumph
in 1916- when Washington State de­feated
Brown 14 to 0, in a downpour

slopes have held the edge in games
won over invaders.
During intervening years six
triumphs have been collected by the

By Elmer G. Salter
The Auburn Tigers, using the
famous Notre Dame system for the
initial season, and also performing
under a new staff of coaches for the
first year, will bring their 1930 cam­paign
to a close in Columbus, Ga.,
Thanksgiving, meeting the strong
South Carolina Gamecocks.
The Turkey Day affair will be the
tenth for the Plainsmen, as they
have encountered Birmingham-South­ern,
Spring Hill, Florida, Ga. Tech,
Wofford, Miss. A. & M. and Vander­bilt,
their first season under Chet
Wynne.
Meeting South Carolina on
Thanksgiving will be rather unusual
for the wearers of the Orange and
Blue as they have played Ga. Tech
on this date, for over a decade, but
the Yellow Jackets were met in the
third game this year.
Scanning the records of both Ga.
Tech and South Carolina, it looks
like the Bengals will have much
tougher opposition than if they were
battling the Jackets. The Palmetto
state team has already won four
contests from Southern Conference
foes, and have been improving. They
have lost only two games, listing
Duke, conquerers of Navy, Kentucky,
North Carolina State, Villanova and
others as one of the teams that they
have defeated.
The crafty and shrewd Bill Laval
is coaching Carolina again this year
and any eleven tutored by Laval has
always been strong, and his 19301
eleven is stronger than usual. The
Gamecocks will outweigh and have
experience over the Plainsmen, but
the Wynnemen have shown up well
fighting against odds.
Capt. Gressette, a 185 lb. senior,
is one of the leading wingmen in
Dixie, while Buddy Laval, the coaches
son, is not very far behind his cap­tain.
Adair, Shand, Hughey, Free­man
and Correll are the other mem­bers
of the forward wall who have
shown up well. Laval has several
leading ball carriers in the person­ages
of Bru Boineau, M. Blount,
Edens, Culp and Hicks.
The Turkey Day battle will be the
second time this season that the
wearers of the Orange and Blue
have invaded Memorial Stadium. The
first time that Auburn exhibited in
Columbus under Wynne was against
Georgia, holding the mighty Bull­dogs
on even terms during the first
half, but finally went down after
intermission. Their stand against
the only team that has ever won
two intersectional games in one year
impressed the ten thousand fans who
saw them in action, so the final game
on the Tigers schedule is expected
to be witnessed by a similar number
or more.
It will be the last time that Au­burn's
promising sophomores will
perform as such. They have shown
up well this year, but are expected to
be better next season after gaining
much needed experience.
South Carolina will be the favorite
to close their season in a blaze of
glory, but it will be the final chance
for several members of Auburn's
team to win a conference game be­fore
closing their collegiate careers,
and the last chance for the Tigers to
annex a win in their own ranks this
season, so the second college conflict
in the Electric City is expected to be
one of the best and closest played
by either school during the 1930 sea­son.
feats, two were administered by
southern aggregations. This does not
account for two service team games
during the World War.
GRIDIRON QUINTESSENCE
By ADRIAN TAYLOR
The gallant football team of the
University of Georgia, the team
which on two previous occasions car­ried
the colors of the South against
the strongest teams in the North, was
washed aside by the Green Wave of
Tulane. The mighty Tulane aggre­gation,
inflamed to a high pitch of
patriotic zeal and determination ran
rough shod over the Bulldogs, the
final score was 25 to 0.
Launching an attack led by three
green ghosts, Felts, Whatley, and
Zimmerman, Tulane made four touch
downs, making more points on Geor­gia
than Yale, New York University,
North Carolina and Florida combined.
While the three Green ghosts were
performing so nobly on the offen­sive,
there were three Green giants
smashing Georgia's attack to smith­ereens.
The three Green giants were
Jerry Dalrymple, Preacher Roberts
and Elmer McCanse. These mighty
men were thorns in the flesh from
the first kick off to the last. They
had great assistance, especially from
Jack Holland and Felts, and were
completely demolishing Georgia's
famous driving offense.
Dalrymple's performance at end
was the feature of the game, and
he appears to be one of the best ends
in the country. This bare headed,
tough hombre was not content in
smashing Georgia's end runs and off
tackle plays but time after time he
came dashing in from all directions
and checked plays through the center
of the line. Often he would beat
Roberts and Felts to the play on
stopping line bucks. His side part­ner,
Jack Holland, was almost equally
as good, but he doesn't have the
speed of the fleet Dalrymple.
Tualne scored four touchdowns,
one in the second quarter, one in the
third quarter and two in the final
period.
* * * *
The big Crimson Tide of the Uni­versity
of Alabama continued on its
uninterrupted march for champion­ship
honors, by defeating the Louisi­ana
State University Tigers, 33-0.
This victory gave Alabama their
seventh consecutive Southern Conf.
erence win.'
The scoring, except for Monk
Campbell's brilliant 80 yard return
of a kick off, was confined to the
first half with Wallace Wade sending
his shock troops and then his reserve
line with the pony backfield into the
fray.
The following teams are favorites
to win Saturday and on Thanksgiving
Day.
Auburn 12; Vanderbilt 6.
Alabama 19; Georgia 6.
Florida 19; Tech 0.
N. C. State 0; S. Carolina 0.
Duke 18; Wake Forest 6V
Duke 13; W. & L. 0.

U. of N. C. 13; Virginia 6.

U. of Miss. 12; Miss. A. & M. 6.

Big Question Is, Who
Will Go To Rose Bowl
A question mark hung over three
southern conference football teams to­day
when the discussion swung to pos­sible
participants in the Rose Bowl
classic at Pasadena on New Year's
Day.
The Washington State Cougars, vic­tors
in the Pacific coast conference
race, have been officially nominated
to represent the west. The Cougars
won the first Rose Bowl game sev­eral
years ago.
Final nomination of the opponent
of Washington State has not yet been
made, although the unbeaten and un­tied
University of Alabama eleven is
riding along in pole position, needing
only a victory over Georgia to bring
an invitation.
If Georgia should turn in the un­expected
and wallop the Tide, it would
rate serious consideration itself, al­though
Tulane's Green Wave, holding
a victory over Georgia, would be in
a preferred position.
In that event, it was considered
likely that Northwestern, which de­feated
Tulane and which has a clean
season record thus far, would come in
for major consideration, depending, of
course, on how it fares against the
Notre Dame Irish this Saturday.
Notre Dame is ngt under considera­tion.
Students Not Entering
College at Earlier Age
Tuscon, Ariz. —(IP)— The wide­spread
belief that students are now
entering college at an earlier age
than in the past is not substantiated
by the available facts, according to
Dean Emil R. Riesen, of the Uni­versity
of Arizona.
Although comprehensive figures
never have been compiled, the trend
in many universities appears to indi­cate,
he says, that freshmen are as
old, and in some cases older, than in
college generations past.
At Harvard, Dean Riesen points
out, the average freshman of 100
years ago was 16 years and 3 months.
Fifty years later, in 1880, the av­erage
freshman age had advanced to
18 years and 7 months, •
SATURDAY, NOV. 22, 1930 THE PLAINSMAN PAGE FIVE
Mrs* Knapp Features Home
Making in Talk Over WAPI
Home-making offers woman the
finest possible career, said Mrs.
Bradford Knapp, chairman of the
American Home, Alabama Federation
of Women's Clubs, in speaking from
here over Station WAPI.
Mrs. Knapp emphasized that a
successful home-maker must be a ca­pable
executive with the varied qual­ifications
necessary to fill the role of
a wife, mother, and house-keeper.
She spoke in interest of the
American Home Sunday, the Sun­day
before Thanksgiving, and said
that the women's clubs anticipate
that every minister in Alabama will
preach a sermon on the "American
Home" on this Sunday.
In Mrs. Knapp's opinion, the ef­ficiency
of the wife plays a large
part in the efficiency of the hus­band.
"If the wife is a successful
home-maker, the husband is more
likely to be successful in his career,"
she said. "Men who have accomplish­ed
great things in life have testified
their success was largely-due to the
loyal support of wife or mother." The
speaker stressed the point that girls
should be induced to take home-mak­ing
more seriously.
And house-keeping is far more
than a business, the club woman con­tinued.
"The home-maker must be
able to appreciate all phases of life,"
she said. "She muts not only have
executive ability and kn«w how to
buy intelligently, but muts be some­thing
of a chemist and dietician in
order to guard her family's diet, and
have a deep religious feeling in order
to guide her family spiritually. The
woman, of course, also has great re­sponsibilities
in stimulating the edu­cation
of her children.
"The home-maker should be gra­cious
hostess, able to meet her hus­band's
friends and adjust herself to
any condition that might arise," she
continued. "If she is versed in music,
in art, in literature, and in the beau­tiful
things of life, she will be able
to guide and direct her children's
training."
So important is the place of wo­man
in the home, Mrs. Knapp said,
she was almost of the opinion that it
is more important to give the daugh­ter
a college education than the son
if it were impossible, on account of
finances, to give both this opportun-ity.
V
"The girl as the future home-mak­er
needs college training," she said.

Ohio Conference Wants
Ban On Outside Games
Cleveland, O. — ( I P )— Spuring a
pointed suggestion of the Reserve
Weekly that the Case and Reserve
football teams be combined, in keep­ing
with the spirit of academic co­operation
recently announced for the
two institutions, whose campuses
join here, the Case Tech couched its
reply in the following terms:
"If football is first and last a muni­cipal
spectacle, let's merge and be
quick about- it. If it is a campus
sport.^part of a program of 'every
man play his own game,' why not
stay in the Ohio Conference, where
some good friends—Oberlin and
Wooster among them—are working
with us to advance these ideals? Why
not?"
Reserve, a traditional enemy of
Case on the football field, has prac­tically
deserted the Ohio Conference
of late years, in an effort to bring
"big time" football to Cleveland. As
a consequence she has taken terrific
wallopings from Carnegie Tech,
Pittsburgh, and similar teams of na­tional
strength.
Case has continued to keep its
schedule mostly in the Ohio Confer­ence,
and looks this year to beat Re­serve
rather decisively.

War's Blunders Revealed
By Late O.W. Underwood
Some of the colossal blunders made
by America after its entry into the
World War have been revealed for
the first time in an interview given
by the late Senator Oscar Underwood
of Alabama to Collier's and only re­leased
for publication after Senator
Underwood's death.
As showing how little the General
Staff of the War Department knew
about war, Senator Underwood cited
its complete lack of data regarding
sites for training camps. "Although
the general staff had been in exist­ence
since the days of Roosevelt,"
he said, "it had not fixed upon a
single camp site or training field in
the United States. You'd have
thought, after the army's disastrous
experience in the Spanish-American
War with miserable, disease ridden
camps, that the last thing the gener­al
staff would have neglected would
be the selection of camp sites. But
they had, and now they were forced
to rush General Leonard Wood all
over the country selecting sites."
One of the most unforgivable
American mistakes, Senator Under­wood
added, was the waste of time
in getting its airplane building pro­gram
started. "We had appropriat­ed
$600,000,000 for planes," he said.
"What we should have done was to
send off for blue prints of the war
planes which our Allies were making,
and set to work to produce them in
American factories. But for some
reason President Wilson got it into
his head that our Allies' planes were
not good enough. He insisted that
we create a new war plane, new from
wing to engine. He imposed this
enormous task upon an amazingly
able group of experts, but, meantime
we might have been building thous­ands
of the planes devised by our
Allies, which were good planes, built
on a basis of war experience and
constantly improving.
"Consequently, we spent hundreds
of millions—which wasn't the main
thing—and almost a year and a half
—which was the main thing—devis­ing
an airplane which never reached
the front."
Senator Underwood discussed also
the extravagance of the government
ship-building program. "The gov­ernment
decided to build its own
ships," he said, "believing that the
price of $80 a ton offered by the
United States Steel Corporation was
too high. Well, we had first to build
yards, towns, plumbing, lighting,
pavements, all living conveniences
and facilities for thousands of em­ployees.
At last we got to the ac­tual
building of the ships. When
we got through, the ships had cost
us—not $80 but from $250 to $300
a ton!"
The mystery of the thousands of
American soldiers who trained inter­minably
in America and never got
to France, was-also referred to by
Senator Underwood. "The war end­ed
with those boys still in training,"
he said. "They were as finished sol­diers
as any nation on either side
could show. Here's how that hap­pened.
It was another mistake in the
time element.
"We didn't have enough ships to
move all our own troops, and Great
Britain needed her ships for carry­ing
food. Herbert Hoover said Eng­land
was only eight weeks distant
from starvation at any one time.
"The Battle of Amiens, in the
spring of 1918, changed the situation.
The enemy broke through and it
looked as if the Channel ports were
about to fall into his hands, separat­ing
France and England. It was
then Haig announced, 'We are fight­ing
with our back to the wall.' The
British were desperately frightened
and turned a great fleet of erstwhile
food ships toward the United States.
With my own eyes I saw ninety-six
British ships in the roadway at Nor­folk.
We had to_ fill those ships with
American troops as quickly as pos­sible,
for they had to get back to

Middletown, Conn. — ( P )— Agita­tion
has been renewed this year on
•the Wesleyan University campus to
have the name of the university
changed.
For some time now the change of
name has been the subject of much
discussion here, the chief reason for
the proposed change being that the
institution is so frequently mistaken
for Wesleyans in other parts of the
country, such as West Virginia Wes­leyan,
and several others in the mid-
West.
It is also declared on the campus
here that the name indicates a closer
connection with the Methodist Epis­copal
Church than is waranted.
This year the university is find­ing
it difficult to gain any publicity
outside of the New England and At­lantic
Coast states, because of the
feeling on the part of newspaper
editors that the Eastern Institutions
name will be applied by readers to
Wesleyans in their own territory.

Research Engineers Spend Years
In A Quest of Knowledge of Oil
Mankind, in general, regards a
treacherous banana peel underfoot
as the pinnacle of slipperiness. Just
another case of prejudice tho; be­cause
oil, such as used to lubricate
electric machinery, would give him a
farther and, faster ride than the best
banana skin in the country. No one
knows just yet what makes oil so
oily, but Research Engineers are hot
on the trail.
Scientists have long known that
oil makes a good lubricant—but soap
suds, or steel on ice, is better if
slipperiness is the only aim. Despite
the profound technical knowledge of
the twentieth century, man does not
know exactly what makes oil oily.
Ordinary chemical and physical tests
merely check the uniformity of oil
shipments, but tell nothing of the
lubricating value.
A group of scientists, isolated in a
building of th'eir own, have been
stalking the answer to "what makes
oil oily", for the past few years. Un­like
tatsing a pot of porridge for
seasoning there is yet no test nor

instrument that will tell the answer.
In the past to determine this elusive
property the lubricant was placed in
service until the oil wore out—i.e.
lost its oiliness. Researchers getting
to the roots of the problem, finally
devised machines for measuring this
slippery property—they can tell the
degree of "oiliness"; but just what
makes one oil more slippery than
another is still a worrysome question.
Crude oil, as it comes to the labo­ratory
from wells scattered through­out
the world, is tested for oiliness
and then broken up into its chemical
elements. Tedious comparative stud­ies
are made of samples which be­have
exactly alike except for oiliness;
doggedly stirving to find what makes
the difference. It is not the degree
of refinement of the crude oil—the
same commercial oils are much more
refined than others. If oils are too
pure they become water white (like
the widely advertised Nujol) and
lose their lubricating usefulness.
A person on ice skates rides on
one of the best lubricating surfaces
known. The almost effortless pro­pulsion
is possible because the weight
of the skater melts the ice under the
runners and he scoots along on a
film of water, not ice. Little glob­ules
of water cling to the steel run­ner,
another layer is on the surface
of the ice, leaving a free layer of
water in the middle which gives al­most
frictionless movement of the
skates.
In electrical rotating machinery,
an oil film surrounds the moving
shaft and acts like the water film
under the skate runner. Tiny glob­ules
of oil adheer to the revolving
journal, other oil molecules stick to
the babbitt bearing and the load
rides merrily on the free film of oil
in between.
Automobile bearings need only a
small fraction of a thousandth of an
inch oil film; large electrical machines
require an oil film about .0012 inches
thick—the same part that %," repre­sents
in a city block. Measurement
of the oil thickness in big electrical
machines shows that the shaft wan­ders
about in the oil film very curi­ously,
climbing up one side and slip­ping
"Hown the other. Tho micro­scopic
in size, the film is always thick
enough to keep the metals from di­rect
contact. Trouble begins as soon
as the film is ruptured and the metals
touch, which happens sometimes due
to minute imperfections ni machined
surfaces, misalignment of shaft and
bearing, and warping of the bearing
shell by excessive heating.
Never stingy, nature.has been ex­ceedingly
open handed in her gift of
oils—vegetable oils are widely used
in cooking, animal oil glistens from
sleek black hair; and mineral oils
produce our gasoline. Vegetable and
animal oils are more oily and there­fore
the best lubricants; but their
family tree makes them more sus­ceptible
to oxidation when in ser­vice.
Straight mineral oils, prefer­ably
with a paraffine base, last long­er
as a lubricant despite their lesser
degree of oiliness. Like a sprig of
mint in tea to enhance the flavor,
soap is sometimes added to mineral
oil to bolster its lubricating proper­ties.
Oil leads a tough life, however.
For instance, machinery on ship­board
must be well lubricated. The
boat crosses the equator and a month
later is anchored in Alaska—the oil
must never become so soft it will
run away nor too hard to become
useless.

(Continued from page 1)
magazine contributor, his article,
"The Parisian Store Front," having
appeared in the Western Architect.
Professor Reeve began his dis­course
by referring to Alabama's his­tory.
"Alabama was at one time
part of a vast Spanish domain," he
said. "Through all this vast area
architectural forms of Spanish orig­in
appear. This type of architecture
has been so well adapted to modern
American living in California and
Florida that it is well-night proof
that we 'should follow suit.' These
states have capitalized upon their
history, romance, and lore with the
result that to them architecture
speaks more eloquently of their glori­ous
present and colorful past than
does any other phase of their artis­tic
expression. What California and
Florida are doing, Alabama can do.
In fact, a start has already been
made.
"It is well to note that Alabama
is in the same latitude as the Medi­terranean
Sea and North Algeria,"
he continued. "Recognizing this fact
the fine examples of Spain, Italy,
North Africa, and in fact most of
the Mediterranean countries should
be sought out as inspiration for
modern work."
"Spanish, • Italian, Moorish, and
Byzantine need not be separately
used as a style, but may be inter­woven
into a new sun-loving style
which while eminently American in
its plans and utilities, is nevertheless
Mediterranean in its spirit and orig­in."
At this point Professor Reeves
paused and the questioner decided
that he was thinking of what to say
of the next type of architecture suit­ed
to Alabama. Hoping he would
continue his discussion of the Span­ish
home we asked him his ideas on
the details of this type.
"These houses find themselves dis­posed
around an open courtyard or
patio, one or more sides of which
may be lined with an arcade or por­tico,"
he said. "In the smaller types
two sides of the house may flank
the court and the remaining sides
may or may not be closed with a
high stucco covered wall.
"At the center of this patio which
may be simply graveled, flagged, or
brick paved, there is usually a foun­tain,"
he continued.
"In any case' potted geraniums
and other floral varieties contribute
their note of joyous color. The
splash of vari-colored awnings, the
sharp staccato note of wooden or
wrought-Iron grilles, heavy wooden
hsutters of brilliant colors, deep re-
I
vealed windows, door heads, of the
utmost variety or shapes—these and
a delightful regard for landscape ef­fects
go to make up a style exceed­ingly
well fitted for Alabama."
Professor Reeve then began to
speak of the Southern Colonial type
of architecture and. the questioner
was pleased because he is more fa­miliar
with this type and felt less
difficulty in comprehending the ar­tist's
terminology.
"We are authoritively told that
the Southern Colonial style came in­to
Alabama from two sources—from
Charleston, S. C, through Georgia
near Savannah, Augusta, and Colum­bus
and into Alabama at the south­eastern
portion," he said. "The oth­er
lineage infiltrated down from
North Carolina and Virginia thru
the Tennessee valley by way of De­catur.
At this point it seems to have
separated into two divisions, one go­ing
towards Tuscaloosa and the other
veering in a northwesterly direction.
There are also traces of Colonial ar­chitecture
that came straight South
from Tennessee, probably Nashville
into North Alabama."
Professor Reeve believes that this
background gives us a splendid his­toric
precedent for continuing to use
the beautiful Colonial styles for many
decades so dear to the heart of South­erners.
"We have always pictured the Ala­bama
Southern architecture in terms
of square or round white columns
spaced equally across the entire fa­cade
and running up through the two
stories of the house," he said. "They
were usually built of wood and paint­ed
white, making a very imposing
and delightful picture."
Having seen another type of
Southern home, especially on the
road from Auburn to Montgomery,
we asked Professor Reeve if there
were not another type of architecture
which might be called Southern Co­lonial.
. "Oh yes," he answered. "We have
an interesting cottage style.
"These smaller houses were more
common than those of the type we
freely call Southern Colonial and they
are equally typical of the South," he
explained. "In the matter of room
arrangement, these houses were more
often an interpretation on a small
scale of the larger house, losing lit­tle,
if any, of the latter's delightful
charm. Following an Elizabethan
fashion, end chimneys were used on
these houses as they were on planta­tion
houses of larger size. Dormer
windows increased the area of the
second floor rooms and gave a note of
intimacy to the smallness of the house.
Porches were always characteristic of
this style.
