EMINENT NOVELIST
In Auburn .Collecting Material
For Series of Features for
Birmingham News
Discussing the situation in the
Orient, James Saxton Childers ad­dressed
the senior members of the
R. O. T. C unit and a host of 'inter­ested
students this afternoon. Mr.
Childers, eminent novelist and news­paper
man, is in Auburn collecting
material for a series of feature
stories for the Birmingham News.
The writer has traveled extensive­ly
in Japan and China, and was able
to throw an enlightening picture on
the present difficulty in those coun­tries.
He explained the Japanese mo­tives
of conquest as being a necessi­ty,
in view of their crowded popula­tion,
and that the present outburst is
the result-of many years of prepara
tion on their part.
He thoroughly ridiculed the Chin­ese
army, stating that there was no
definite organization either in the
army or the government. The talk
was flavored with sparkling bits of
"humor,, and the audience was kept in
a constant state of laughter over the
clever and forceful illustrations of
the speaker.
Mr. Childers has gained national
prominence as a writer, and is prob­ably
remembered best for his book
"Hill Top In The Rain". He is at
present a member of the faculty at
Birmingham-Southern College.
Opelika High School
Defeats Auburn 6-0
Opelika continued its victorious
march against Auburn High School
in a hard-fought battle winning to­day
by a score of 6 to 0.
Except in the initial quarter the
teams were evenly matched, but
Opelika had a decided edge in the
first quarter and scored their only
.touchdown of the game. Auburn
kicked to Smith, of Opelika, who af­ter
a nice, return to his thirty yard
line, stepped around end on the next
piay to place the ball on the fifty.
After an exchange of punts which
netted Opelika the ball on Auburn's
thirty, Smith stpeped to Auburn's
five yard line. On the second play
Smith plunged through the center of
the line for a touchdown. The try
for the extra point failed.
Auburn was in Opelika's territory
only once during the first half by
virtue of a fumble. However, Au­burn
shortly lost the ball. In the
last quarter Auburn started a bril­liant
march and by series of hard
plunges at the line brought the ball
from their own 40 to Opelika's 15.
Here Opelika held like a stone wall
and the ball went over on downs.
The game ended with the ball in
Opelika's possession on their own
forty yard line.
For Opelika Smith was the out­standing
player of the game, scoring
the only touchdown of the game.
For Auburn, Melton and Cook played
excellent games, with Capt. Moore
playing a good game in the line.
Score by quarters:
Auburn _J_ -, 0 0 0 0—0

That Dr. Jacob Papish, of Cornell
University has claimed the credit for
the discovery of the last two elements
in the universe (87 and 85 in the peri­odic
table) was revealed this week
from press bulletins in eastern and
southern papers. In announcing his
discovery, Papish asserted that the
magneto-optic apparatus used by the
Alabama scientists, Professors Alli­son
and Murphy of Auburn, who are
generally credited with the discovery
of the two elements, is "not reliable."
It was declared by a Birmingham
Age-Herald writer that the old fash­ioned
standard X-ray spectroscopic
detection apparatus like the one used
by Dr. Papish could not compare in
sensitivity with the magneto-optic
method of chemical analysis develop­ed
by Allison and Murphy. With the
machine used by the Auburn scien­tists,
the most delicate and elusive of
all elements can be easily detected.
Using the magneto-optic analysis
method, these two men formed a basis
for their report "which appeared in
last May's issue of the Physical Re-

Methods of aero-navigation were
described by Lieutenant Commander
P. V. H. Weems, U. S. Navy, to stu­dents
and faculty members in a lec­ture
here Thursday. He dealt par­ticularly
with navigation by. obser­vation
of heavenly bodies.
Commander Weems cited numer­ous
examples of the application of
the principles that were explained.
Methods of navigation used by Post
and Gatty, famous round-the-world
fliers, and other well-known fliers
were included.
His lecture was illustrated with
lantern slides, and he showed his au­dience
instruments and charts that
are used.
Attached to the Navy Department
at Washington, Commander Weems
is at present making a tour under
the direction of the department, in­structing
and lecturing on the sub­ject
of celestial aero-navigation.
Commander Weems is a graduate
of the U. S. Naval Academy, finish­ing
in 1912. During his years there,
he was a member of the football
squad, being named center on Walter
Camp's "All-American" team of
1911. He was an intercollegiate box­ing
champion and rowed on the crew
in 1911.
Since his graduation, he has been
actively engaged in the naval air
service. He is the author of a num­ber
of books on aero-navigation, his
"System of Aero-Navigation" being
well-known and widely read.
He left Auburn for the Maxwell
Field School, in Montgomery, where
he will deliver a series of lectures.
Commander Weems was accompanied
by .his brother, Capt. G. H. Weems of
Maxwell Field, and ano'ther brother
from Tennessee.
Rehearsals Started
By Little Theatre
Practice for the presentation of two
plays by the Auburn Little Theatre
was begun this week, after the or-
Casts were selected this week.
According to an announcement made
by officials, the play will be given
before the Christmas holidays.
Individuals of the cast include Prof,
and Mrs. Don Bloch, Miss Henrietta
Matthews, Mrs. G. H. Carlovitz, and
Mrs. Mary Hurt.
Qne of the plays will be directed by
Mrs. J. W. Hyde and the other by
Prof. T. B. Peet.
Tiger Mascot, "War-Eagle",
Will Attend Game In New
New Orange and Blue Cage
One of the liveliest mass meetings
of the year was held last night in
preparation for the Tigers coming
battle with the Georgia "Bulldogs".
The affair had been designated as a
pajama parade but everything from
men's underwear to ladies' night
gowns was on display.
The crowd assembled at Langdon
Hall at seven o'clock and lead by the
band, paraded through the streets.
At the head of the column was a
flaming "A", which with intermingled
torches, lent a great deal of color to
the occasion. The band showed that
famed "Auburn Spirit" while feat­uring
"Fight 'Em Tiger" and "Tiger
Rag".
Following the parade, the mass of
students gathered in front of Toom-er's
Drug Store where the cheer
leaders appeared on the roof to lead
the Plainsmen battle cries. From all
appearances, the students as well as
the team are intent on defeating the
strong Bulldog aggregation in Co­lumbus
tomorrow. Since classes will
he excused, the entire student body
is expected to be present at the strug­gle.
War Eagle, the Tigers' mascot,
will attend the game all dressed up
in a new cage, which is painted
orange and blue. As yet this Amer­ican
bald eagle has seen Auburn lose
only one game, and that against one
of the country's strongest teams.

(An Editorial)
With all gone but an impreg-rlable
spirit the athletic situation
had sunken into the mire of dejec­tion—
there to be kicked about by
unfavorable publicity—there to be
humiliated by the scathing jabs of
athletic supporters everywhere.
Above the chaotic turmoil every
loyal Auburn supporter was crying
for assistance—for some force dy­namic
enough to lead us to the po­sition
of the respected in the sport­ing
realm.
The Joan of Arc came. We are
back with the mighty. Once more
is the Auburn football team a force
to be reckoned with by any team.
Of the present coaching staff and
their part in this phenominal rise,
enough can not be said. Not only
from the more rabid' football fans
has this unstinted praise been forth­coming;
but from admirers of real
men everywhere. Men who can
lead men. Men who instill more
than the intricate tactics of foot­ball
into their subjects.
This season has brought wonders
both in victory and defeat. Auburn
lias made a most creditable show­ing
against the nation's strongest
teams, and there has been a new
force at every game that has
brought comfort in the face of de­feat.
The Plainsman, in its last issue
before the termination of the cur­rent
season, wishes to reflect in
part the universial respect and ad­miration
that the student body
holds for our coaching staff.
Six Players End Grid

The gridiron careers of six Au­burn
players will be brought to a
close in Cramton Bowl, Montgom­ery,
Thanksgiving, when the Tigers
end their 1931 schedule against the
champions of the Palmetto State,
University of South Carolina. The
seniors on the team include Co-Cap­tains
James Bush, tackle, and Chat-tie

The first meeting of the Auburn
Aeronautical Association was held
Tuesday night in Ramsay Hall. This
club has just been organized on this
campus after months of hard work
and correspondence with other clubs
of the same character. The meeting
was not formal as the purpose was
to discuss the ways and means of
keeping the association in good stand­ing,
both financial and scholastically.
Ted Clarkson and Herbert Croen
were elected president and vice-president,
respectively and Marshal
Caley was named secretary-treasur­er.
The purpose of the association is
to create more interest in aviation
and to learn more about actual fly­ing.
A Waco glider has already
been ordered by the club and it will
be kept at Commerce Field.
The charter members are: Ted
Clarkson, Gadsdens Herbert Croen,
North Tarrytown, N. Y.; Marshal

Casting for a> production to be given
before the Christmas holidays at a
meeting of the Auburn Players Mon­day
evening at 8 o'clock. Eight parts
for men have not yet been filled.
The Players have been very active
this year, several productions having
been staged.
With an idea of improving the local
merchandising system and business
conditions, the Auburn Merchants'
and Business Men's Association was
formed here Wednesday evening.
B. S. Burton, president, stated that
the purposes of the association are
to work for the betterment of busi­ness
conditions of any kind that af­fect
the merchants or town; to pro­vide
a medium for adequate united
merchandise advertising; to act as in­termediary
between organizations
and the city council; and to improve
general conditions and make trading
in Auburn worthwhile, in order that
townspeople will be encouraged to
trade here.
At present, it is planned by the as­sociation
to stimulate business by
holding a trade-expansion celebration
on December 9, through December
12. H. H. Sonfield, manager of the
Dixie Sales Service, has been ap­pointed
to take charge of the cele­bration.
Traditional Parade To
Be Morning Feature
A parade will be held from the
Ralston Hotel in Columbus tomorrow
morning at ten-thirty, featuring the
events leading up to the game between
Georgia and Auburn at the Memorial
Stadium tomorrow afternoon.
The parade, a traditional affair pre­ceding
the clash between the. two old
rivals, will be led by the Auburn band.
As many members of the student body
attending the game, who can arrange
to do so are urged to take part. Di­rectly
behind the parade will be the
cage of "Wai--Eagle", Auburn's Amer­ican
eagle mascot. The course of the
parade will lead through the main
section of town and will end near the
starting point.
With every player in perfect con­dition,
the Auburn Tigers will have
their best opportunity of the season
for staging a major upset when they
take on the scrapping Georgia Bull­dogs
in Columbus tomorrow. A
crowd of 10,000 is expected for the
clash, the outstanding Southern Con­ference
engagement of the day.
Word comes from Athens that the
Bulldogs are on the rebound follow-their
sound trouncing at the hands
of Tulane, and displayed their best
form of the season in scrmimages
early this week. All of the Georgia
players except Roberts and McWhor-ter
are in the best of shape and
the Plainsmen will oppose the same
team that took Yale and New York
University for a ride.
For the first time this season
Coach Wynne will have all of his
numerous backs available for ser­vice
and the offensive burden will
not rest solely on the shoulders of
Jimmie Hitchcock. Ike Parker and
Lindley Hatfield have completely re­covered
and both will be used to­morrow.
Casey Kimbrell, sophomore
speedster, "Ripper" Williams, Chat-tie
Davidson, Tom Brown, Allen
Rogers, Willis Phipps and Marion
Talley will all probably get a
chance to step in the annual game.
The same line that held up so nob­ly
all season will be ready for action
and although considerably lighter
than the Bulldog forwards, will hard­ly
be outfought by the Georgians.
The Auburn forward wall will be
composed of Grant and Ariail, ends;
Bush and McCollum, tackles; Cham-bless
and MGlpus, guards; and Jor­dan,
center. If Jordan is bothered by
his shoulder, injured in the Tulane
game, he will be replaced by Will
Chrietzberg, who turned in a first
class exhibition against Sewanefe.
Coach Wynne" has not revealed his
starting backfield. The same four
that started the Sewanee game may
take the field tomorrow with Wil­liams
at quarter, Hitchcock and Rog­ers
at the halves, and Brown at full.
Parker and Hatfield are likely to get
the call over Williams and Rogers,
however, because of their experience.
The entire squad of 37 Tigers will
be taken to the scene of battle by
bus early Saturday morning, giving
the Plainsmen a chance to rest up
for several hours before the game.
BAPTIST .DELEGATES
VISIT LOCAL CHURCH
An inspection of the Auburn Bap­tist
Church yesterday was part of the
program of the Alabama Baptist Con­vention,
being held in Opelika. Dele­gates
to the convention motored over
last evening, and were entertained by
members of the local congregation.
The trip was acclaimed a huge
success as it gave many of the visi­tors
their first chance to visit Au­burn,
and to view the beautiful new
Baptist church here.
The Convention was of material as­sistance
in the construction of the
church, and has taken an unusual in­terest
in promoting the spiritual life
of the college.
The Convention came to an end in
Opelika today.

THE GOOD LITTLE MAN—
THE GOOD BIG MAN
Tomorrow finds two ancient rivals
brought together once again in a game,
which modern sporting terminology has
labeled a grid classic. Tomorrow will find
another chapter written in the struggle of
the good little man against the good big
man. Figured calculations prove that in
the conflict of two such forces that it is an
inevitable outcome for the good big man
to triumpeth. Tomorrow will either sub­stantiate
or disprove this theory. Should
Auburn vanquish it's recognized superior
foe it will not be the first time that such
an incident has. occurred, the condition is
only a theory which can never become a
law .
Attitude and gameness have played a
large part in upsets in th^ modern sporting
world. The smaller team enters the arena
as the proverbial door-mat, with every­thing
to gain and nothing to lose. The
larger team enters the battle awea with the
conditions reversed. With a will to win
and a spirit out of all proportion, the under­dog
goes on to unbelievable heights and
conquers a foe that has entered the game
with a ftormal and uncolorful attitude. Only
then can the weaker survive the stronger,
only then can the youth slay the giant.
Breaks of the game are not cast from the
finger tips of lady lucky into the laps of
the chosen; the breaks of the game, partic­ularly
in the modern sporting world, go to
those who make them for themselves. Should
Georgia enter the game tomorrow with a
lowered spirit and consider the game a
work-out for the reserves, Auburn will be
a strong factor in disproving the theory of
the good little man and the good big man.
HONOR OR HONESTY
Who discovered element 85? North of the
Mason Dixon line the, question is being an­swered
with loud praise for Professor Pap-ish,
of Cornell. That such praise is un­warranted,
and that the Professor's claims
are no more than another example of one
man stealing another's intellectual attain­ments,
is known by those who have fol­lowed
Dr. Allison's discoveries here.
Southerners are often too biased with re­gard
to their northern brothers. There is
a bitterness, of course, that seeks its in­evitable
way to the surface on many occa­sions.
Yet, the "Damn Yankee" is reluctant
to smooth over that bitterness, and when
we come forth and accomplish something
of inter-national interest, our friends, while
they bewail the backwardness of the south,
come down and find out what we have done
and scamper home to get the honor.
Auburn and the entire south have been
grossly wronged. Dr. Allison with a modesty
becoming of one of his attainments has not
stooped to the hot verbial battle his pub­licity
crazed rival would seem to want, and
the glory may fall,on a false head. How­ever,
we will gladly waive aside all honor
so long as it inculcates base dishonesty.
My life is like a stroll upon the beach,
As near the water's edge as I can go.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this
column are not necessarily the editorial opinions of
this paper. It is a column of personal comment,

editorial policy.
* * » »
T HE FOLLOWING is part of an edi­torial
that appeared in the Novem­ber
issue of the Pennsylvania Tri­angle,
engineering publication of the Uni­versity
of Pennsylvania:
"ONE-MORE LEFT"
"Now we have the announcement from
Cornell University that Professor Jacob
Rapish and Eugene Wainer have discovered
the element that is to fill the gap hitherto
held by "Number 87" in the periodic table.
Although they have not isolated the metal,
they have obtained a strong concentration
of it in an ore, and have definitely identified
it by means of its spectrum. Now there is
but one more, element 85, and the entire
atomic table will be filled by known sub­stances."
This editorial appeared in the November
issue of the Triangtif and it seems that its
author should be informed that he is over a
year late.
In the first place the title of the editorial
does not keep up with developments in the
field of science because it is general know­ledge
on the campus that Dr. Allison dis­covered
element number 87, and it has also
been nationally and internationally announ­ced
that he has, by the same method, also
discovered element number 85.
- It is true that a lot of discussion has been
carried on regarding the accuracy of Dr.
Allison's methods and it is also generally
known that the Cornell professor has been
making some wide claims regarding the
superiority of his method but judging from
the methods that he has gon^ abdut making
his claim and the methods that he has used
to push them, the whole thing looks like a
ceap publicity stunt.
Credit ,sould be given to those to whom
credit is due and until the Cornell Professor
can "prove" that his method is superior, he
should confine himself to more modest state­ments.
With Other Colleges
"Unsportsmanlike!" "Absolutely uncalled
for!" "We must stop these criticisms of
our team. Just think, they might hurt some
of the boys' feelings!" And thus we may
imagine Harvard athletic authorities dis­cussing
a matter of great importance. It
might be called a calamity. Ted Husing of
the Columbia Broadcasting System had just
called Barry Wood's playing "putrid" in
the game on November 7; and these gentle­men
at the Hub of the Universe and the
Seat of American Culture were highly in­dignant.
Ways and means of getting repar­ations
from Ted Husing and CBS were dis­cussed.
Finally: "Ah, gentlemen, I have
it. We won't let Mr. Husing b -oadcast
any more of our games. That will mate
him feel bad." A vote was taken; this
puerile proposal was adopted; Mr. Husing
and CBS were notified. The news services
got hold of the story and now it is a matter
of common discussion and condemnation
throughout the country. It must be true;
but it is hard to believe that these "gentle­men"
who objected to the word "putrid" are
the same fine young men who applied, lamp­black
to their faces in their Southern inter-sectional
game with Texas University be­cause-
of a Southern prejudice that came
out in an N. Y. U.-Georgia game a few
years ago. However, we are told that a
few weeks stay in Boston will either make
an angel or a criminal of one.

Lay the blame on Variety for the current
fad of finding out how well known, or well
unknown, famous characters are. This
magazine conducted a questionaire in Chi­cago
and found out some original, to say
the least, things about our national cele­brities.
Since then the fad has spread like
these forest fires around here; and one's
safety against these question askers is no
longer assured unless one is in the bathtub
—and even then, according to Ballyhoo, one
is not so safe. "The South's leading Semi-weekly",
in view of this, recently became a
mere follower and published one at Ala­bama,
with the results that one would ex­pect.
Floyd Gibbons, it was learned, was
recently trapped in a mine in Kentucky.
Andrew Carnegie is famous as a football
correspondent. The Mayo brothers, con­ductors
of the famous clinic, are quite well-known
as trapeze artists in Tuscaloosa.
Eleanora Duse, the actress, is the most pow­erful
man in Italy, the confusion being with
Mussolini's cognomen of II Duce. Zimbalist,
hte violinist, is a "person who plays the
cymbals". However, everyone knew of
"Fatty" Arbuckle and Earl Carroll. Others
known to all included Tallulah Bankhead,
Rudolph Valentino, Sinclair Lewis, Helen
Wills Moody, and Albert Einstein. Several
were doubtful as to whether there were any
such persons as H. L. Mencken, Captain
Frank Hawks, Guglielmo Marconi, and
Pierre Laval. The fact that some of the
faculty at this seat of learning took the test
will probably explain the fact that several
of the people were not known, for one can
hardly believe that the bright type of per­son
that goes to Alabama would miss ques­tions
like these.

The newest team in the ranks of bootball
started its season last Saturday by winning
33-0 from their dearest hated rivals. There
were some 2,000 prisoners from Sing Sing,
who watched flheir team carry the banners
of their school high when they turned back
the Ossining Naval Militia team and urged
the team on with cries of "Slug him!",
"Gang him!", and "Take them bums for a
ride!" The game took on collegiate color
when the inmates after the game suggested
that two of the players were eligible for
All-American. Radio announcers described
the game over the prison's speaker system
to prisoners who were in the hospital or
the death house, and were thus unable to
attend the game.
The stadium was watched by troopers
with machine guns stationed on the walls,
but the onlookers and players were not
aware of this. After the game, regret was
expressed that the stadium had inadequate
seating facilities, and it was suggested that
the alumni of Sing Sing build or contribute
funds toward the biulding of a larger sta­dium,
since it was expected that public in­terest
as well as the school would experi­ence
a rapid growth in the future.

As the twenty-first issue comes from the

to reflect over the results of efforts. Glanc­ing
over the inked impressions of our brain
children there is a faint feeling of pride
mingled with a tinge of disgust and disap­point.
Cletus has stormed to the anger
and admiration of many, and our editorials
have brought comments of varied nature on
many occasions. We have realized the
newspaperman's fondest dream on many
times when we succeeded in getting our

many of the campus happenings.
It is feared that the majority of the s t u ­dents
have failed to take note of our sincere
efforts to make, every individual feel that
it is his paper. There has been a deplorable
lack of response on our editorial specula­tions.

To those members of the state press who
have been unstinted in our praise we express
boundless apprecia'tion. Kindly words can
not but bring cheer to the heart of the strug­gling
journalist. Perhaps our admirers
have been inclined to wink at glaring
journalistic mistakes, to stretch their imag­inations
in lauding us, and to smile at the
youthful enthusiasm with which we have
editorially tackled nuiny weighty problems.
However, we are sure they have experienced
our days of initiation to the realm of the

CAMELS are FRESH
in nature's own mild way!
E<iV ERYONE knows now that Camels are the fresh
cigarette.
If inquiry went deeper, it would reveal that Camels
are the natural moisture cigarette.
That's important, because in handling fine to­baccos,
when you process out natural moisture, you
sacrifice freshness and flavor too. v
Camel smokers needn't worry about that, because
Camels are blended of fine Turkish and mild Domestic
tobaccos that are never subjected to violent process-

That's why the Camel Humidor Pack is such a boon
to Camel smokers—it preserves the freshness, flavor,

Camels are fresh in nature's own mild way, and if

AUBURN WILL BATTLE ONE QF
SOUTH'S STRONGEST SATURDAY
Impressive Record of Georgia Team In Past Gaines Makes
Tigers Underdogs; Auburn to'Have Full Strength for An­nual
Struggle In Memorial Stadium
The strongest team in the history
of the University of Georgia, and
that's saying a lot, will seek consola­tion
for its defeat at the hands of
the Tulane Greenies when the Bull­dog
and Tiger renew their yearly dis­pute
in Columbus Saturday. Backers
of the Plainsmen .who have become
unduly optimistic since Tulane wal­loped
Georgia are likely to receive a
distinct shock when the powerful
Bulldog machine swings into action
in Memorial Stadium.
Any team that can take V. P. I.,
Yale, North Carolina, Vandy, Flori­da,
and New York University in a
row, without a single breathing spell,
can cope with the best in the nation,
and in spite of the fact that those
connected with the Georgia team
have been careful to quell anything
resembling an alibi, there is little
doubt in the minds of impartial ob­servers
but that the Bulldogs would
have appeared to a better advant­age
against Tulane had they not
been keyed up for every game on
their killing schedule.
There is no reason why the Geor­gia
team should not place at least
three touchdowns higher than the
Tigers in the pre-game ratings. The
Red and Black team has everything—
weight, power, and ample reserves,
while Coach Wynne will have to de­pend

men that have carried the burden
since the opening game. Auburn
followers should be well satisfied if
the Tigers make a respectable show­ing
against such superior odds and
a victory would place the 1931 Tigers
everlastingly in Auburn's Hall of
Fame. .
Outside of Tulane, the Bulldogs
can boast of what is probably the
classiest array of ball carriers in the
Southern Conference. Downes, Key,
Mott, Dickens, Chandler, and Rob­erts
are all backs that would be wel­comed
on any team and in addition
Coach Mehre has a half dozen re­serves
that can be placed behind the
strong Bulldog line without material­ly
weakening the offense.
The first string line with Smith
and Kelley, ends; Rose and Hamrick,
tackles; Leathers and Maddox,
guards; and Batchelor center, will
outweigh the Auburn forward wall
some fifteen pounds to the man and
will be vastly more experienced. Com­posed
mostly of seniors, the Georgia
team executes their Notre Dame
plays with the smoothness and pre­cision
of the Fighting Irish them­selves
and if the Plainsmen rise to
the heights and halt this dangerous
offense, it will be one of the great­est
accomplishments of any team in
Auburn's history.

This fighing Sophomore has done much to fill the gap left in the
Tiger forward wall by the loss of "Red" Harkins from last season.
Although slightly overshadowed by Jordan, rated as one of the south's
leading centers, Chrietzberg has seen much service, and has shown
signs of development.

This business of football co-cham­pions
is getting to be a Southern Con­ference
habit.
Back in 1927 Georgia Tech, Ten­nessee
and N. C. State claimed the
conference honors though the Raleigh
team was the only unbeaten and un­tied
team in the group. Last year
Alabama and Tulane finished with
perfect records and the talk of a
titular game between them ended at
the talking stage.
^Tulane still faces Sewanee and
Louisiana State in the Conference,
and Tennessee must meet Kentucky.
Now unless Tulane or Tennessee
lose one of their remaining games
it appears that they will be co-cham-i
pions and that all efforts to bring
them together will fail.
A game between these teams prob­ably
would be the best of the year.
Both have strong lines and versatile
backfields. Both have playecT""at least
two formidable conference oppon­ents
and have been victorious.
Tulane beat Vanderbilt and Geor­gia
in its top Conference attractions
and also gained a decision over Texas
A. and M. of the Southwest Confer­ence.
Tennessee won" from Vander­bilt
and defeated Alabama, a team
that has been coming along fast since
that early season set-back and that
now could give either of the leaders
a real tussle.
In direct contrast with all the hull­abaloo
preceding the Tennessee-Van-derbilt
and Georgia-Tulane games of
last week-end, the cheering along the
southern fronts prior to the contests
of next Saturday sounds rather mild.
None of the games, however, will
have much bearing on the conference
race. Several highly interesting sec­tional
and state skirmishes are listed
and these will draw main attention.
Tulane doesn't look upon Sewanee
as exactly a set-up but the Green
Wave expects to win as it pleases in
the New Orleans engagement.
Georgia Tech seems to have finally
struck its stride and Yellow Jackets
supporters hope for a victory over
Florida in Atlanta to atone for the
55-7 lacing Tech took last year from
the AMigators.
North Carolina already is in pos­session
of the "big five" champion­ship
of the Tarheel State, but Duke
will offer them plenty of trouble at
Durham Saturday.

Basket Ball Team
Has First Workout
Of Season Tuesday
By K. G. Taylor
' Coach Sam McAllister issued the
first call for 1932 basketball aspir­ants
Tuesday and was greeted by a
healthy squad of twenty men. Four
letter wearers: Stewart, Kaley, Law-son,
and Lumpkin reported for the
initial workout along with several
new-comers from last year's fresh­men
squad.
'At present the squad is under
Captr Jack Stewart as mentor. Mc­Allister
is busy aiding Wynne and
Kiley with the football squad. As
soon as the football season closes
McAllister will again take charge and
Hatfield, Jordan, and Arthur will join
the squad. Jordan was Capt. of
the 1931 team and one of the lead­ing
scorers in the southern confer­ence,
while Hatfield was rated as one
of the best guards Auburn has ever
had. Arthur was a capable under­study
of Jack Stewart and as he was
only a sophomore last season prom­ises
to see much work in this year's
games.
Coming here as a new man last
year Coach McAllister surprised «the
most optimistic followers by putting
out one of the best teams in the con­ference.
Last year's aggregation
hung up an enviable record by win­ning
seven of the twelve games play­ed.
They were just hitting their
stride when the "flu" epidemic hit
the squad. These players went into
the tournament not fully recovered
and managed to defeat Virginia in
the first bracket but went down be­fore
Georgia in the second game.
Prospects for a winning team are
exceedingly bright this year as last
year's squad is returning with the
exception of Frock Pate. The loss
of Pate will be a heavy blow but
with the return of such men as:
Stewart, Jordan, Hatfield, Lumpkin.
Lawson, Kaley, and Arthur a suc­cessful
season is looked forward to.
CHARITY GAME IS SCHEDULED
FOR 'RATS' ON THANKSGIVING
McFaden's Freshmen to Meet the Champion Madison Georgia
A g g i e s On Thanksgiving Day In Columbus; Madison Will
Furnish Strong Team with Heavy Line and Good Backs
By Neal Owen Davis
Coach "Wally" Butts' champion
Madison Georgia Aggies will play
Coach "Bull" McFaden's Auburn
rats in a charity game in Columbus
Thanksgiving day. The Aggies boast
of a clean slate for the season and
have the best team in the history of
the school. They won their biggest
game of the season a few weeks ago
from Georgia Military College, state
champions of last year. Madison has
lost only two games in the last three
years, and their schedule has includ­ed
some of the best prep schools in
the south.
Auburn's freshmen looked impres­sive
in winning from the Baby
Green Wave last Saturday 20-19.
Much improvement over the Florida
game was noticed, and the team
seems to be just now hitting their
stride. Henderson and several other
elusive backs, who showed up well
against Tulane, should give Madison
plenty of trouble with their' dashes
around end, and they have their air
attack working smoothly.
Madison brings a heavy line to Co­lumbus
with Hall, 185 pound all-southern
prep school guard, arid sev­eral
others weighing close to the two
century mark. The Aggies' backfield
include two of the best backs in prep
school circles in Hinds, 180 pound
triple threat half back, and Brammer,
quarterback, who is a smart field
general. The team is composed of
veterans, who have played two or
three years and many cajable reser­ves
are available who would not
weaken the team in the least.
All of Coach McFaden's squad have
recuperated from their different ail­ments
and the "rats" will have their
full strength to throw into the tussle.
Practically the same team .that start­ed
against Tulane will start the Mad­ison
game. The freshmen have an
impressive record to date, with four
wins to only one loss.

Effects of Vitamins
Have Become Known
Vitamins, what are they? This is
a question often asked but not an­swered.
Everyone is interested be­cause
everyone eats and needs to be
nourished properly.
Vitamins are about as puzzling as
the fourth dimension, but Miss Helen
Kennedy, extension nutritionist, Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, Auburn,
says that much is known about the
effects of different vitamins, known
as A, B. C. D. E. and G.
Vitamin A-, she said, prevents in­fection
and promotes growth. It is
found in 'all naturally yellow foods
such as butter, egg yolk, carrots and
milk.
Vitamin B prevents nervous disor­ders
and promotes growth. It is found
in all naturally green foods such as
turnip greens, collards and spinach,

in whole grains, and in citrus fruits.
Vitamin C, which prevents and
cures scurvy, is found in all fresh
growing parts of plants and all fresh
fruits.
Vitamin D promotes the develop­ment
of bones and teeth and is found
in milk, butter, egg yolk, cod liver oil
and sunshine.
Vitamin E is essential in reproduc­tion
and found in meat, lettuce and
cereals.
Vitamin G prevents and cures pel­lagra.
It is found in all natural foods
such as milk, eggs, meat, fruits, and
vegetables.
Since all six vitamins ai-e needed
the daily diet should be planned to
include all of them, Miss Kennedy
said.

view, in which they stated, "we have
made a search for Element 85 (eka-iodine)
in,various substances in which
its presence might be expected. Out
of a considerable number of sub­stances
examined, we have found evi­dence
which seems to us, to indicate,
to a high order of probability, the
presence of Element 85 in the follow­ing:
Sea water, fluorite, apatite, mo-nazite,
sand, kainite, potassium bro­mide,
hydro-fluoric acid and hydro-bromic
acid." r

They keep tasting better
and better to me!"
Every Chesterfield is like every other one.
No matter how many you smoke, the last
Chesterfield of the day is just as smooth and
sweet—as cool and comfortable—as the first.
They're milder, too! Chesterfield uses
only mild, ripe, sweet tobaccos—the smooth­est
and ripest that grow.
Notice, too, how white and fine the paper
is. It's the purest that money can buy.
All this care...to make Chesterfields taste
better—to make them milder.- And millions
of Chesterfield smokers say it in their own
way—"They Satisfy!"
GOOD. ..they've got to be good!
