Steel Mills Studied By Architects Here To make sketches of steel mills in Birmingham and vicinity, Prof. Roy H. Staples and T. E. Kipp, of Leeds, faculty member and student, respectively, in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts will leave Auburn Wednesday, Nov. 25. They will spend five days in Birmingham, sketching at night as well as during the day. Prof. Staples is an instructor in applied art and Kipp is a fourth-year student in commercial art. Sewanee's highly touted football machine went down before a light, hard charging, eleven from Auburn at Legion Field in Birmingham Saturday. With his team rated as the underdog Coach Wynne pulled a neat bit of stragedy by starting his shock troops. This squad battled Sewanee to a standstill during their stay in the first quarter and left the field in favor of the regulars with the ball deep in Sewanee's territory. Early in the second quarter Coach Wynne trotted seven of his first stringers on the field and these grid-ironers made short work of pushing the oval over for the first marker. On the first play, Williams passed to Hitchcock for fifteen yards, who lugged it to the three yard line before being forced out of bounds. It was Auburn's ball, first down and only three yards to go for a touchdown, but here Sewanee's line made a gallant stand. Dupree tried the line on two successive plays and only gained a yard each time. Another try at the line failed to gain. With it fouth down and one yard to go Hitchcock took the ball off right tackle and missed a touchdown by inches. Sewanee took the ball and Phillips made a beautiful kick to his 45 yard line, but Hitchcock returned it to the 33. Wynne's first stringers were not to be denied, however, and after Hitchcock had been thrown for a four yard loss on the first play, he threw a beautiful 25-yard pass to Grant, who ran fne remaining 12 yards to glory, leaving in his trail two would be Sewanee tacklers. Hitchcock try for the extra point was wide by inches. Score: Auburn 6; Sewanee 0. Allen Rogers, midget halfback, made the second touchdown on a five yard run around left end. This score came after a 85 yard march (Continued on page 4) LIONS HEAR KILEY ON COACHING DUTY Pays Tribute t o Rockne As Developer of Manhood The sreious responsibility with which the best football coaches go about their j6b of training the young men in their charge to become expert athletes and worthwhile men in later life was explained by Roger Kiley, assistant coach at Auburn in speaking Tuesday before the regula* meeting of Lions Club at the Thomas Hotel. No good coach, he said, would hazard the physical well-being of his players merely for the winning of an athletic contest. Pointing to the immortal example and influence on American youth exerted by his former tutor, the late Knute Rockne, Coach Kiley recalled some of the valuable lessons given his pupils by this great mentor. It was constantly Coach Rockne's realization that the conduct of his players both in college and in after life was the' reflection of his influence. This he valued most highly and was equally as anxious that his teaching of fairplay and sportsmanship should carry beyond the football field. Club President, Hugh C. Dillon, reported that Alabama Lions Clubs lead the 55* other club districts in the United States in increased membership during the last quarter year. This, he said, is a tribute to the capable supervision of Prof. F. E. Guy-ton, of Auburn, governor of the 34th district. Only 10 districts in the country showed an increase in membership and Alabama lead with a ranking of 86 per cent. The splendid golf displayed by Lion J. L. Seal in the recent tournament was called to the attention of the club.

Tryouts for the pHy, "A Night at an Inn", will be held Monday night at the "Y" hut by the Auburn Players, it was announced yesterday by Talifer B. Peet, head of the Players. "This play, which is one of the better known of those by Lord Dunsany, calls for eight male parts, including three English merchant sailors, a dilapidated English gentleman, and three to take the part of Hindu priests. It is a horror play in the accepted style, and has met with popular reception in its performances over the radio. It is hoped that the play may be cast completely Monday night; and the invitation has been issued again to those who—wish to try for the parts. The meeting will start %,at 8 o'clock. Although this play will at first be presented at a Players meeting it will be presented soon after to the student body. Everyone who wishes to try out is urged to come, as it has been difficult in past to cast several plays on account of the smallness of the Players organization. Books Discussed At Club Meeting A discussion of present-day authors and their novels was given by Miss Jewel Davis before the monthly evening session of the Business and Professional Women's Club Monday evening at the home of Miss Berta Dunn. Attendance was the largest on record for the club. The discussion followed regular monthly business session of the club. It was decided to stage an elaborate Christmas party near the middle of December. The program was arranged by the Education Committee of which Miss Rennie Burton Jeter is chairman. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake were served. Glomerata Pictures Taken for Last Time Due to the fact that the Paulger photographer will be in town this week to take athletic views, the Glomerata staff has announced, with special permission from the photographer, that individual pictures will be taken on Thursday, Nov. 19th. This will be the latest possible date to have a photograph made. It was also announced that proofs for the pictures already taken, which had not been seen by the student, may be selected on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. The staff is asking for full cooperation in the selection of proofs in order to speed up the progress of the book.

Obesity Rages Among Girls At Montevallo Says Unknown Writer Unlike the average Greek fraternity Jiouse steward, the chefs of dear old Montevallo believe in keeping the poundage of their gentle charges well above the norm.. Ye frail lassie that leaves home bragging about her slender structure returns in a few months a veritable picture of rolling flesh; contrast the cadaverous- looking Greek of the Plains with the roly-poly maid of Alabama College. Montevallo is no longer the abode of the weaker sex; this institution is producing a brand of female " flesh never before seen in the history of 'mankind. What were formerly sharp angles and piercing projections are now sweeping curves and rdunded arcs. Upon being asked how his daughter was getting along, one proud father remarked, "While the other girls are putting on airs our Susie is putting in hot biscuits." And it IS something to be proud of; to be able put flesh on the modern woman is a praiseworthy accomplishment. We salute the culinary department of Alabama College and wish them continued success, with a steady increase of tonnage and an ascending figure of biscuit consumption. AGRICULTURAL LEADERS TO CONVENE HERE NEXT WEEK Agricultural Situation And Outlook to be Explained in Three Day Session to be Held in Auburn November 23, 24, and 25—^Duncan With a view of acquainting farmers, bankers, and merchants of Alabama with the agricultural situation and outlook for different crops and livestock in 1932 extension service specialists, supervisors, experiment station workers, and leaders in vocational agriculture work of the state will be in session at Auburn November 23, 24, and 25, as announced today by Professor L. N. Duncan, director of the Extension Service. At this meeting official data on the situation and outlook will be presented by C. F. Sarle and James D. Pope of the Federal Farm Board at Washington. Agricultural information which cost the Federal government about $3,000,000 to collect and compile will be presented to the Alabama leaders at that time. This meeting of the state leaders will be followed by a meeting of county agents and they in turn will present it at county meetings of farmers, bankers, and merchant's. These county meetings will be arranged under the direction of county farm and home demonstration agents and the data will be presented with the established program for better and safer farming in Alabama. In an advanced announcement Director Duncan said that the aim is to help Alabama farmers to make more money in 1932. With this in view Alabama and the national outlook facts will be prepared for presentation at the county meetings. Every crop and every animal will have specific consideration. Having the facts, each farmer will apply them and profit by doing so. This being done for the state the information will then be applied to the different counties, on a basis of their conditions and . needs. Hence it will be adjusted to the needs of each county of the state.

Jimmie Robbins has' led the drive well according to reports from the above mentioned cities, and . dance lovers have been completely captivated. COLLINS HEARD AT KIWANIS LUNCHEON Phenomenal Growth of Grammar - High Schools Subject Walter Edwards Wins Declamation Contest Auburn JVIen Attend Land-Grant College Meeting In Chicago At the annual meeting of the association of land gpant colleges and universities in Chicago this week the Alabama Polytechnic Institute is being represented by Professor L. N. Duncan, director of the extension service; Dean M. J. Funchess of the School of Agriculture and director of the experiment station; Miss Helen Johnston, state home demonstration agent; Dr. D. G. Sturkie, and Professor George Scarseth. , While in Chicago these representatives of Auburn are participating in the program, which is divided into sections of special interest to those engaged in different lines of work in land grant colleges and universities. Dean Funchess, Dr. Sturkie, and Professor Scarseth made the trip by automobile. Enroute to and from Chicago they expected to stop at several points of interest for the purpose of getting information needed by them in their work. Walter Edwards of the Evans Literary Society won the annual Declamation Contest which is sponsored by the Phi Delta Gamma. The Websterian representative,. Randall Parrish, gave a very good declamation. "Opportunity" by J. L. Spalding was the subject chosen by the Evans representative, while Parrish's subject was "A Challenge to College Student*" by Frances Killifer. Professor Bloch, Professor Gosses, and Professor Medlock served as judges for the contest. This is the first of a series of forensic activities which are annually sponsored by the Phi Delta Gamma. Auburn Student Has Dual Family Tragedy Called home by the death of his. father, D. P. Johnson, Auburn student was subjected to still further sorrow due to a fatal accident to other members of the family. The second tragedy occurring on the day of his father's, funeral. W. B.

Collins of the School of Education, told the Auburn Kiwanis club, at their meeting Monday, that within ten years the number, of high schools in Alabama was increased from 150 in 1920, to 328 in 1930, and that the enrollment during this period increased from 30,000 to 60,000. Turning to the high school situation in the United^ States Professor Collins said that enrollment has increased from 500,000 in 1890 to 4,000,000 this year. He explained that 4,000,000 is half of the number of boys and girls of high school age in the United States. The speaker said that very few of the boys and girls who enter high school graduate and still fewer enter college. "Of an average class of 40 students entering the seventh grade", he continued, "only 13 will graduate, or complete the 12th grade. Of these 13 only 40 per cent will enter college." America, he explained, is the only nation that makes secondary education universal. In other nations those who enter high school are selected and elected. The meeting was attended by John K. Watkins of Opelika, who was recently elected governor of Alabama Kiwanis district. Mr. Watkins spoke briefly, thanking the Auburn club for their support and pledging his untiring efforts in behalf of Kiwanis in Afabama in 1932. Dr. J. W. Tidmore gave interesting statistics on the Georgia-Tulane game in Athens last Saturday, showing the value of the game to the city of Athens and vicinity. R. Y. Bailey, president of the club, presided. Dr. Paul Irvine led the club in singing. COLONEL REED LOUD IN PRAISE OF UNIT AFTER INSPECTION Officer Is Impressed With Cooperation of Administration and War Department Complete satisfaction with the""R. O. T. C. unit was expressed by Colonel William L. Reed of the Fourth Corps Area Headquarters in Atlanta, who was in Auburn Monday and Tuesday, for an inspection and general observation of the unit. Speaking with cadet and regular army officers of the Military Department, Colonel Reed said that he was very well pleased with the review held Tuesday. He added that the general rating of the department was excellent, commending the cooperation between college and military authorities. Support given by students is excellent, Colonel Reed added. "I feel that the manner in which students carried themselves was equally as well as that observed in strictly military schools", continued Colonel Reed. "The clothing and equipment of the cadets are in very good condition. The training facilities are in satisfactory shape, also." He stated that he was pleased to find the college giving credit in military training corresponding that that given for other work in the institution. Major G. H. Franke, commandant, and his .staff were complimented on the administration of the work of the department. Colonel Reed'* visit to Auburn, as the personal representative of General Frank R. McCoy, was'a part of an annual tour of inspection and observation of R. O. T. C. units in institutions in the Fourth Corps Area. Interesting Contest In Debating Society The Auburn Debating Society proceeds merrily on its way, solving weighty world problems orally at every meeting. The question up for debate last Monday night was: Resolved, that only subjects pertaining to the arts, the sciences, and the learned professions should be taught in our universities. The affirmative was upheld by Mack Dinsmore, Birmingham, and Edgar McCall, Gadsden, while the negative was represented by Miriam Toulmin, Mobile, and Charles Workman, Ashland. After an hour of very entertaining argument, the judges, Professors Butler, Hart and Gosser, voted two to one in favor of the negative side. A general discussion on the situation in Manchuria will take place at the meeting next Monday night. Study Courses Are Given By Baptist The annual B. Y. P.

WICKERSHAM AGAIN There is one topic that even the widely heralded depression has. never overshadowed. It is the maker of statesmen, and the ruination of many men in public life. The press bellows its every particle, and political leaders rise to frenzied heights over the subtlety of its debatability. .The much discussed, the defended, the damned, and still existing, eighteenth amendment, is the forum choice in the train smoker, the after dinner round table, and the weekly meeting of the Ladies Aid society, all over America. To the college boy, prohibition is a constant source of perplexity. College papers all over the country have taken stra"w, ballots to determine the position of prohibition in the undergraduate's mind, and the ever-defiant collegian, so long as it causes no necessity of taking a direct stand on anything, votes against the measure because it is the ' popular thing to do—the term popular being used to imply that it is part of the conventional picture for the college boy to carry a hip-flask, and drink his licker straight. Not that he particularly objects to the picture nor is unduely fond of it; but the college youth does love to be collegiate to those off the campus. . The majority of us don't know what the country was like before Andy Volstead came along with his disturbing little proposal. We have no basis of comparison, no grounds to stand up and say the nation would be better off if it were repealed. However, we do know that when we want our whiskey, we can get it, with ease, in any town in the United States. We also know that the stuff is horrible, distasteful, and that our fore fathers must have had something more pleasing to drink. We feel, although our observations are limited indeed, that drinking is decreasing in undergraduate life. It is an interesting observation to note that the percent of our Alumni who return for the football games with the proverbial quart slightly exceeds the proportion of the undergraduates lugging the bottle to the game. Yet, the young American is disposed less to condemn the participators than his elders, even though he be a total abstainer himself,, but there are many boys who openly detest drinking. Many who admonish the greek brother to abstain, and point to the pit falls ahead. The basic principles of every Greek Letter organization are in sympathy with the rigid enforcement of the eighteenth amendment, and the local presidents usually feel the responsibility of their office and endeavor to reduce drinking among their men. How few laymen realize the special effort almost all upperclassmen make to keep the freshmen, so soon away from his mother's apron strings, from partaking of strong drink. One could ramble at even greater lengths on the college man and his ideas on the subject without clarifying the situation. It is indeed a perplexity, but the fact remains that we still laugh when our elders raise their deaflng ballyhoo over the harrassed subject. f * ' THE ROBOT'S PERFECTION We, the people of the United States, standing on a self-raised pedestal, gaze into the past and see ourselves mirrored by our own supreme egotism, as the greatest nation on earth. Perhaps we are, at least the course of events which have moulded our nations history since its birth give us reason to believe that such is true. There is no denying that we have made more rapid strides than any other nation for the past century and a half. It is a certainty that our development materially has been phenomenal and that we have secured for ourselves a large 'place in the sun'. Despite the fact that all this is true we have not yet paused in our mad rush for supremacy to really determine whether we have more than a strong body with great chances for a startling lack of brains. John Bull is credited with the development of the largest race of men affected with narcissum that the modern world has known. Again we admit that this could easily be true, but in all due respect to our brothers from the Isles, we are forced to admit that they are never guilty of proclaiming such,beliefs to the world at large unless directly challenged by an alien. No excuse is needed for the great one-hundred percenter, which this country is afflicted with, to boast of personal and national triumphs. We have succeeded in developing a type of man that will never leave behind him a single thing which could be called progressive. True, he may construct a mechanical device, may propound a code of laws or may find the end of the rain-bow and his greed selected pot of gold, but by divine Providence he will carry all this with him to his narrow minded heaven and erase all traces of his childish existence as he departs. In the one hundred and fifty odd years of our meteoric rise we have developed a brand of men who may be classed only as those who are egotists and materialists of the highest order. Letters to the Editor Editor of The Plainsman: Conscientious Cletus, ever alert, always on the offensive with the spirit of progress, strides on and on in the face of adversity. I sincerely admire his spirit. Power is something to be proud of. Civilized countries are proud. Why? Because the less powerful in such countries have just enough intelligence to make room for the more powerful in such a way that this power expresses itself with greater efficiency than in uncivilized countries. To be versatile is to be strong. To be strong in the face of adversity is to be powerful. This is complimentary in an abstract way to our critic. Since reading the last article of our sincere critic in Saturday's Plainsman I have racked my mental potentiality in order to form a new set of ideas that are less obloquizing. If he is a patron of the above bit of philosophy, of which I am confident that he is, he has a good portion of my apologetic feelings. My newly formulated ideas regarding our critic are: 1.' He is sincere. 2. He is serious in his criticism, but means for it to be taken as a constructive element" from the student's viewpoint. 3. He is not a "Tinkerer". 4. He has the welfare of the students, especially the freshmen, at heart. These ideas are a result from the last edition of The Plainsman. Now to say something in my own defence. I still maintain that to be a good critic one must be an expert. I compliment our critic on his observations. I believe that a good critic should fall into the higher class of men. To be a great man one must be a careful observer. To give decisions to a great question that arises one must be a careful observer. Throughout our college careers, and especially during our senior years, our professors have endeavored to set fire to that tiny bit of material in every one of us that is capable of being transformed into that highly prized quality called initiative. A person who has iiftative is an observer. When one has become well acquainted with the effective phenomena of an- organization he is better fit to observe. I 'think that every student is well acquainted with this factor in regards to the library. An analysis of such an organization is not so complex as that of other organizations on the campus. I appreciate the fact that we are capable of offering constructive ideas regarding the management of such organizations. Now "take a look at this case. A group of ordinary artists are in the market for an old art treasure whose originality is questionable. These artists will not consult an expert regarding the originality of such a picture. Instead they will rely upon their own meager intelligence and "ability. Reasoning tells us that they will frequently be wrong. The most important thing in any argument is the comprehension of the major teims on each side. It is said that one great debater of a decade ago used one sentence that obliterated all misunderstanding in any of his arguments. That sentence was, "Define your terms". At the close of this panegyric let me endeavor to make one of my own terms clear which it appears that I did not do last time. An expert in any field is a highly skilled person, in that field, in the art of coordinating and < pplying knowledge that is acquired, usually, through practice, though not always. He is a specialist. No, not Ex-Lax. —A Senior. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The most difficult thing to understand after a trip to New York' City is how this country can be in financial straits with millions of high powered a u t o m o b i l e s crowding the streets of our great cities. At noon and between four and six o'clock in the evening Fifth Avenue and Broadway in New York were almost blocked with automobiles. They were not the kind of automobiles that we use so much out in the country. There were very sfew Fords and Chevrolets on the streets in New York. They looked like expensive cars to me. I believe Will Rogers made a very wise remark over the radio the other day when he said something to this effect: This country, if it goes broke, is going to break a record in doing so; we were certainly traveling to the poor-house in six-cylinder cars. * * * * Another thing which bothers me a good deal is when you have to pay a dollar for a breakfast consisting of a little fruit, a couple of eggs, three slices of toast and a cup of coffee. * * * * What do we think of education m times like these? The world still needs thinkers and workers. It still needs men and women who know what has happened in the world and who can think honestly and clearly and who are willing to work courageously to bring to pass those things which ought to happen in the world in order that we might restore humanity to a reasonable degree of happiness, contentment and the enjoyment of those liberties and privileges which are the inherent right of every man. A technical education which fits one for a task in any of the industries including both engineering and agriculture or to serve in the great business world in shaping the economic welfare of the people will be just as useful and just as important in the new day as it has been in the days that are gone. But there are many tasks which must rest upon the shoulders of the next generation and which, to my mind, will be even more important than all these. How may we eliminate at least in part the greed and selfishness of the material age through which we are passing? How may the laboring man be assured of a job? How may the necessities of life, as well as the luxuries and enjoyments incident to the use of those things which science has produced in the last seventy-five years, be better distributed so that all men may reasonably participate in them? I know it is the habit of young men to think that the opportunities to do great things have all passed on. I sometimes wish I might exchange places with a freshman in college and get ready for the great tasks and the great services and the great opportunities which lie in the next fifty years of the world's history. * * * * We bicker and fight and scheme and quarrel over the little affairs which come. up every day. But the world moves on in great stretches of time almost neglectful of the fact that humanity is nothing more than the sum total of millions of lives lived courageously and worthily, or selfishly and unworthily. There never was a! time when we all have needed courage and devotion to till mate results as we need these virtues to-ciay. * * * * Auburn is more than just what we are living here. Going into New York City last Thursday morning, I picked up a copy of the New York American and there on the front page was a splendid article about the great work of Doctor Fred Allison. I turned to the Literary Digest and found a humorous reference to the discovery of Element No. 85 quoting from the editor of some paper, who said if Element No. 85 was a missing element he hadn't missed it yet. While coming home Sunday I bought daily papers all down the road to read about the game with Sewanee. On Friday night I sat with some fifteen older and younger Auburn men and talked to them about their Alma Mater. There is a fine loyalty in these men of Auburn as they are serving their country in many places. To think that fifteen men on very short notice would come together and spend a whole evening talking about Auburn and its past history and its future possibilities in one of the greatest, busiest, and most self-centered cities in all the world, was a tribute to the spirit which is engendered here upon this old campus. It is entirely possible a "racketeer king" may arise in a few years and control the business of the country.—Rosalie Loew Whitney.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES Those exponents of the Auburn spirit may find something to reflect over in the following editorial comment from the Tit-lane Hullabaloo: "For real, old-fashioned college spirit we take our hats off to the students and alumni from Alabama Polytechnic Institute, better known as Auburn. It looks as if those boys from the Alabama plains just like to "whoop it up" for no other reason than then personal pleasure they derive from 'raisin' 'ell.' That, at least, was our impression gained at the Tulane-Auburn football game in Montgomery Saturday. "These Auburnites didn't greatly exert themselves during the game itself, regardless of the fact that there were about four cheerleaders going through semaphore signals in front of them. At times the little bands of scattered rooters from New Orleans gave much more evidence of their presence than the Tiger supporters. But the night before the game and the evening after the contest were completely given • oyer to Auburn whoopee. In the lobbies of the main hotels of Montgomery Friday night savage war cries of 'Eat 'em up, Tiger!' could be heard throughout the night and far into the wee hours of the morn. The spirits of Alabama prevailed. "Of more significance was the spirit (or spirits,—or both) shown after Tulane had overwhelmed the fighting little Auburn aggregation. On the streets, in the hotel lobbies, and even in the best restaurants the Indian-like whoops of 'War Eagle!' and 'Eat 'em up, Tiger!' rattled our sensitive eardrums. Those guys (including many a stray, prodigal alumnus with young ideas) just didn't know they were beaten. And the Auburn football team made such a gallant stand during the first half that whenever we met an Auburn supporter after the game, we felt like apologizing for Tulane's having such a good team. Spirit? Auburn has more of it than any college in the Southern Conference". * * * * Page Cletus. Prepare the "A" Club. Don't let the freshmen find out about it. Up at the University of Illinois they have removed all rules applying only to freshmen. They are not required to entertain the upperclassmen, and are not forced to rim errands for anyone. We assume that this progressive tide must have followed the abolition of wholesale beating by many years. The freshmen had not uprooted any of the buildings according to the last report. * * * * * The editor of The Red and Black, the paper from the school that bowed so nobly to Tulane last Saturday, ends a lengthly editorial with these words: "Pull that bell! Wear those caps! And, sit together at these games, freshmen! He also ventures that if these things are not done that the offending freshmen can go back to the farm, where they came froml>r to the corner drug store . We are personally glad to learn what causes all the freshmen faults. It would be a bitter picture indeed to see the young collegian returning from college to hang his head in shame saying: "I failed to make good as a rah! rah! boy." * * * * Cumberland University has a Greek graveyard in which are buried the memories of fifteen chapters of greek letter fraternities which have passed on since 1854. So many of our schools are reluctant to admit the state of their fraternities". * * * * . * The Yale Daily News has raised a protest against the scheduling of a bootball game with a small school in preparation for the Harvard game. "Where", said the News, "is the good old 'devil-may-care' spirit which does not stoop to petty things, which plays football for the fun of playing the game, and not for the hope that she (Yale) may prove herself a superior institution by defeating adversary in athletics?" We should like, to refer the boys up at Eli to the University of Georgia. * * * * Let masculine pride assume its just proportions. Co-eds do dress up just for our benefit. We have discovered this fact from Miss Lee, an authority on college women. It would be a woman. "Cocktails, clothes, and competition are the major interest of Americajs college women in the opinion of Frances Lee, 'professional collegiate.' Pretty Miss'L'ee, herself out of college only a couple of years, has unearthed some unusual facts in her visits to one hundred American colleges to study the college girl. "One of the most interesting facts in connection with the controversy between coeducation and segregated womenV colleges is that clothes play a much larger part in the life of the co-ed than the girl in a woman's college, according to Miss Lee. ' 'At co-educational colleges girls dress for men all the time, and they use a great deal of make-up. They go with more or less the same group of people, and are seen in more or less the same setting. So their idea is to get as many changes of costume as possible with the money they have." INSIGHTS By Conscientious Cletus 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, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * 4 * * " 'If. colleges are to continue to cater to the general public and to alumni in conducting football programs, let the situation at least be clarified. Let the alumni pay a good living wage to every football man, openly and not underhandedly. Let all scholastic requirements be waived , for football players. Let honest professionalism replace furtive hypocrisy'. Thus the Columbia Spectator, overstates a good case but voices modern youth's demand for open alliances openly arrived at. It is refreshing to know that student opinion is beginning to express itself in terms that college authorities will have to recognize in the end. "Pop Warner, one of the conspicuous coaches of the country, had a defense of football in Collier's Weekly recently. What he said in effect was that conditions are much improved over the status of 25 years ago, and that few people realize how much returns from football sustain other athletic activities. But neither claim meets the issue presented by those who object to overemphasis on football or to the indirection which the game as conducted at present has introduced into the scheme of higher education. , "The Spectator offers this picture of the situation as it is: 'This game which is one of the world's greatest sports, has been gradually grinding itself out of the student consciousness until probably 80 percent of the men who play college football in. the bigger institutions' are semi-professional athletes hired' by assistant coaches who make annual pilgrimages to prep schools.' If that be true of the bigger institutions we may well wonder how much they have been emulated by the lesser fry. "Alumni influence has contributed materially to the ballyhooing of football. That together with false competition among colleges and among coaches has driven college authorities into submission. And the conscientiously maintained have been placed at a serious disadvantage. What are they to do about it? Grin and bear it or quit the game? The latter alternative is by no means as impossible as some of*us may think, and that's a pity. For if they hold out a little longer, they may find themselves in a position to enjoy the reward of preferring the credit to the immediate cash." * * * * The above is an editorial taken directly from the Birmingham Age-Herald of November 3rd, and it is given here in its complete form because it expresses very concisely the author's opinion regaining the athletic situation, not only at Auburn, but throughout the country. It is indeed surprising to see this editorial appear in the Birmingham Age-Herald but the fact that .it was published in that paper points out all the more clearly tnat people all over the country are thinking about the condition of modern day football. * * * * The reaction at Columbia, to the very frank editorial of the Spectator concerning the condition of modern football seems to prove very clearly the point that all great minds run in the same channel. ' The following paragraphs were taken from Arthur Brisbane's column: "Reed Harris, editor of the Columbia Spectator, says editorially that football is largely professional and those that manage athletic funds are not willing to show their accounts. . To that there young Columbia College football players reply convincingly. They tell the editor, 'If you say anything like that again, three of us will beat you up." Three good football players, in training, could probably keep the promise." Sports for the sake of the sport is the ideal of college athletics, and until this point is reached college students will find it almost impossible to attain any idea of relative values.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 18, 1931 T H E P L A I N S M AN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C I N S T I T U TE PAGE THREE STRONG GEORGIA TEAM TO BE ENCOUNTERED ON SATURDAY Auburn to Meet Oldest Rival in Memorial Stadium in Columbus; First Game Between the Two Schools Played at Old Piedmont Park, Atlanta, February 22, 1892 Auburn's oldest football feud will be renewed in Columbus, Ga., Saturday, when the Tigers meet the Georgia Bulldogs at Memorial Stadium. The first meeting on the gridiron between Auburn and Georgia was at old Piedmont Park, Atlanta, Ga., February 22, 1892. The Plainsmen won the initial fray, 10 to 0. This year's clash stands out as the best the two schools have had to offer the fans since 1922. Georgia is one of the outstanding teams in the country, with only a loss to Tulane to mar their record, and Coach. "Chet" Wynne's Plainsmen have made such rapid strides forward since the opening game with Birmingham-Southern that Coach Bernie Bierman, of Tulane, thinks that Wynne has one of the best first elevens in the Southern Conference. The Electric City has been the scene of the Auburn-Georgia conflict since 1916, with the exception of the break during the World War and in 1928, when the game was taken to Athens to aid in the dedication of the Bulldogs new stadium. This game has one of the most colorful histories of any game in the South and wijl be the only college tilt played in Columbus this year. Both Auburn and Georgia are exponents of the Notre Dame style of football as taught by the late Knute Rockne. There will be much shifting at Memorial Stadium Saturday with Capt. Downes, Mott, Dickens, Whire, Key, Chandler and Roberts expected to be in the limelight in Georgia's backfteld and Williams, Hitchcock, Rogers, Brown, Hatfield, Phipps and Dupree in Auburn's.

The only Hotel in Jtfew Orleans that has all of these conveniences in every room. Without exception. Largest Free Parking Grounds in the South. Rates $2.50 and $3.00 "You can live better at the Jung for Less" A comparison of scores makes Harry Mehre's eleven the favorite, but the Plainsmen are determined to give the Red and Black team a fight that will rival the ones put up by Auburn during the days when the Southern championship was awarded to the Plains. Since casting aside an inferiority complex that hurt them considerably when facing the top-notch teams in the nation, the Tigers have feared every opponent this year, but have not conceded any team a victory until the sounding of taps after 60 minutes of fierce battling. This was proved in the Tulane melee when the great Green Wave was held scoreless until the final few seconds of the first half. » Auburn has been outweighed in every game this year, but superior coaching and a courageous band of players has given Alabama Polytechnic Institute an impressive record of four wins, one tie and two losses. The Tigers record for the season follows: Auburn 24, Birmingham-Southern 6. Auburn 7, Wisconsin 7. Auburn 13, Georgia Tech 0. Auburn 12, Florida 13. Auburn 27, Spring Hill 7. Auburn 0, Tulane 27. Auburn 12, Sewanee 0. Against Sewanee, Wynne's machine looked the best that it has looked since trouncing Georgia Tech. The line charged, blocked and tackled in superb style, and the backs ran in a manner that pleased their teachers. The return to form of Ernest Mol-pus and the playing of two sophomores, Will Chrietzburg and "Ripper" Williams, brightened Auburn's chances of making a much better showing against the Athenians than was at first expected. Molpus was breaking through from left guard and throwing Purple and White ball Meal of Wheat Served 120 At Oberlin College Oberlin, O.—(IP)—One hundred and twenty guests of Dr. Robert E. Brown, professor of theology and human relations at the Graduate School of Theology of Oberlin College here went home with satisifed appetites the other night after dining on a meal of wheat, served at an average cost of 3 cents a person. The guests partook of an eight course dinner of which the basis was whole wheat. It was the invention of Dr. Brawn and was heralded as a partial solution for the relief work which is now confronting practically every community in the nation. Its success was acclaimed by those present as well as relief workers from sections of the county where the meal has been tried. The meal was given here as a practical demonstration of what can be done with wheat. A cereal soup, made by boiling and straining wheat, seasoned with salt and pepper, was served first. Then followed a wheat "meat loaf" composed of two-thirds wheat and a small amount of meat. Whole-wheat muffins were served as well as cold slaw and a baked apple to balance the meal. "Coffee/' made of roasted wheat kernels, was served at the end of the meal.

The ban was placed last year by President Cowling, who explained that he felt the instruments were not conductive to study- in the dormitories, since they were so noisy. "I shall not stand in the way of their return, however, if the committee investigating the students' wishes on the matter finds the radios are really wanted," the president said. A petition of 200 men students opened the question this year. Woman's Club To Hold Nov.

Williams, a sophomore from Tuscumbia, was cool under fire and impressed Wynne very much with his work. He eats and sleeps football and has the makings of a brilliant quarterback. Other wearers of the Orange and Blue who showed up well in Birmingham, were Porter Grant and David Airail, ends; Co-Captain James Bush and Buddy McCollum, tackles; "Boots" Chambless, guards; Jimmie Hitchcock, Allen Rogers and Lindley Hatfield, halfbacks, and Tom Brown and Sterling Dupree, fullbaks. Hitchcock led the Plainsmen ground gainers with 136 yards, followed closely by Sophomore Rogers, who reeled off 106 yards. Grant and Ariail gave Magic City fans the prettiest exhibition of end playing staged by a pair of Auburn flankmen in several years. No one worries over how Auburn's terminals are protected with Grant and Ariail in perfect condition. Miss Louise P. Glanton has been appointed again as chairman of the Better Homes committee for Auburn. This is the eleventh nation-wide campaign of Better Homes in America, an educational organization established for public service in the interest of home improvement. President Hoover is honorary chairman of the organization and Secretary Wilbur is president. The headquarters office is in Washington, D. C, with Dr. James Ford in charge as Executive Director. The Better Homes campaign is designed to stimulate the improvement of housing conditions and bring about a more wholesome type of home and family life. The programs carried out by local committees are determined by the needs and conditions in the community. Features include lectures and discussions, exhibits, contests, and where possible the demonstration of one or more new or remodeled houses to show how the better types of homes can be provided for families of modern incomes at a cost within their reach. Care afi'd repair programs as a means of relieving unemployment during the winter are being emphasized again this year. These programs culminate in Better Homes Week which in 1932 will be from April 24 to May 1. The findings of the President's Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership, which will take place in the first week of December, will give added stimulus to the Better Homes campaign this year. The studies of the various Conference committees include such subjects as the design of homes, home construction, financing of homes, household management, homemaking, landscape planning and planting for homes, the elimination of slums and blighted Disarmament Party Formed At Manitoba Winnipeg, Man.—(IP)—An International Disarmament Party, which was begun as the refeult of a student conference in Canada early in the fall, is sweeping the dominion's universities, according to the Manitoban, undergraduate publication of the University of Manitoba, and is also gaining strength in other quarters.

Efforts are being made to have the students of the Canadian Universities vote solidly with the new party at Canadian elections. It had gained a firm stronghold in eastern universities and is rapidly becoming popular in those of the middle and far west .of the Dominion.

'COLUMBUS TYPEWRITER COMPANY Sales & Service Office 306 Georgia Home Bldg. Columbus, Ga. After trailing at half by thirteen to nothing the Auburn rats, coached by "Bull" McFaden, staged a spectacular comeback in the third and fourth stanzas and defeated Ted Banks' baby green wave, of Tulane, by twenty to nineteen here Saturday. The ijame ended the season for baby Tigers with four wins and one defeat. Tulane scored late in first quarter after a lateral pass from Simon to Loftin, had gained thirty yards, and I laced the ball on Auburn's fifteen yard line. Loftin went over for touchdown on next play. They failed to kick goal. Tulane's second touchdown came in second quarter as result of line bucks and pass, from Simon to Phillips. Phillips kicked goal, making score thirteen to nothing at half. Second half opened with each team fighing hard and playing spectacular football. Tulane worked the ball to Auburn's ten yard line and fumbled. Standing behind his goal line, Henderson received the ball for a fake kick, but dashed around right end on a sweeping run for a touchdown. It was a beautiful play. Tuner kicked goal. Later in same period Morris flipped a beautiful pass to Kemp who dashed over for Auburn's . second counter which tied the score. Tuner failed at goal and the score was thirteen all. i Tulane seored next after intercepting pass on 44-yard line. Auburn was penalized fifteen yards and line bucks placed ball near Auburn's goal. Loftin then went over for touchdown but failed at goal. Score nineteen to thirteen for Auburn. But the Auburn rats would not be downed. They fought with grim determination to win, and win they did. With the ball in their possession and only thirty yards from their goal Snider threw a pass to Henderson, who received it on Tulane's 25-yard line and dashed over for the final 'touchdown of the game; Moore kicked goal, placing Auburn one point ahead and there the score stood 20 to 19 at end of game.

Rogers then made a beauti ful run of 27 yards and placed the ball on Sewanee's 45-yard marker, Hitchcock passed to Rogers for seven yards and on the next play Rogers made it first down on the 30 as the quarter ended. When the fourth quarter opened Rogers -was away again and could not be stopped until he had reached the 13-yard line. Brown and Hitchcock picked up 9 yards thrpugh the line on two plays, placing the ball on Sewanee's 5-yard line. From here Rogers raced around end for the last score of the game. Hitchcock tried a pass to Grant for the extra point, but it was incomplete. Score: Auburn 12; Sewanee 0. Auburn had very little trouble gaining while the first team was on the field, and made several bids for touchdowns, which failed because of fumbles or Sewanee's great defensive stands in the shadow of their goal. Sewanee's line played a great defensive game but were worn down in the last few minutes and the light Auburn backs had very little trouble in breaking away for extra yards after they had been held up momen-tarilly. Auburn's passing attack clicked to perfection throughout the game with Hitchcock, Williams and Phip'ps alternating in throwing them.

Hitchcock had the best average in yards gained by rushing the ball with a total of 137 yards gained in fifteen tries. He was pushed hard, however, by Rogers who gained 106 yards in eleven tries. Auburn out-gained Sewanee some 350 yards to 100 and made twenty first downs to the purple and^ white team's six. The greater portion of Sewanee's gains were made over the shock troops and two of their first downs came as results of penalities. Sewanee went the entire game without receiving a penality while Auburn was penalized three times for a total of thirty-five yards. Rogers and Hitchcock were the highlights in the Auburn offensive, while the entire line played a wonderful game on both the defense and offense. For Sewanee, Morton and Patton played a beautiful game on the line, while Wellford and Gee carried off the honors on the offense. Auburn used only straight football probably saving their trick plays to use against Georgia next week. If Wynne's passing attack continues improving as it has in the past, it is likely to give Georgia even more trouble than it has Tulane and Sewanee.

O. Davis. It works on some things but not on others. "When it comes to borrowing the weekly newspaper I am of the opinion that subscribing is much better than borrowing," said Mr. Davis. . "Borrowing is not as good for the reader and it is bad for the editor who realizes that borrowing is a tribute to his paper but he is unable to show names of borrowers on his audited subscription list; and here is where he suffers in addition to losing the subscription money which he needs to pay his bills and give his readers a good paper." So far Mr. Davis has not been able to offer a solution; but he,calls attention to a paragraph which has been going the rounds of the press for many years, and* will still bear reprinting. "A farmer, rather than subscribe to the paper, sent his boy to borrow a neighbor's. The lad knocked over a stand of bees. His father, hurrying to help him, ran into a barbed-wire fence, gashing his leg and ruining a new pair of overalls. Hearing the noise, his wife ran out, upsetting a four-gallon churn of cream into a basket of kittens, drowing the litter. At the same time she dropped and broke a new set of store teeth. During the excitement the daughter eloped with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven sitting hens, and the calves got out and chewed up a line of washing hung out to dry. All to save one or two Hollars, the price of a subscription." Light Replaces Copper Wire In Telephone Moscow, Idaho—(IP)—A •telephone that uses a beam of light instead of a copper wire for transmitting sound has been developed at the University of Idaho by Dr. Gus-taf W. Ham'mar, head of the physics department and Lawrence W. Fos-kett, one of his graduate students. , Originating as a scientific experiment, the discovery opens up an entirely new field of sound communication which may be used by such agencies as the United States forestry service and the army and nevy signal corps. Dr. Hammar and Fosket modestly explain that they simply made use of scientific principles which have been known before. A sensitive photo-etectric cell snakes the new light telephone possible. Much like a radio tube in appearance, the cell detectives minute changes in the intensity of light to which it is exposed. S. I. A. ASKED TO AMEND RULES Lexington, Ky.—(IP)—The Southern Intercollegiate Association will be asked by Transylvania College to amend its rules so freshmen may play on varsity football teams. Authorities here believe that the change would allow the smaller colleges which are members of the association to compete with southern colleges of greater size in public interest. HAS GREEK GRAVEYARD Lebanon, Tenn. — (IP) — Cumberland University has a Greek graveyard in which are buried the memories of fifteen chapters of Greek-letter fraternities which have passed on here since 1854. Four of the chapters died during the Civil War, and the other eleven just died natural deaths in years since then. Scientists Says Light Signal to Mars Possible Berkeley, Cal.— (IP)—That an inhabitant of Mars some day looking through a telescope may see a signal of light from the earth, is the belief of Dr. B. B. Brode, associate professor, of physics at the University of California, who asserted recently that if it were possible to broadcast red light on an extremely short wave length, a Martian looking at the right time could detect the gleam 35,000,- 000 miles away. The professor's statement followed an announcement from London by Professor E. V. Appleton had located what was believed to be the atmosphere layer above the earth which ordinary radio waves cannot penetrate. This layer, Dr. Appleton said, is 130 miles above^h«-earth. Dr. Brode, therefore, suggests that visible light rays, little different (than radio waves, must be the means of communicating with another planet. Texas U. Alma Mater Song Passes 28th Year Austin, Tex.—(IP)—It was just 28 years ago that J. R. Canon, Ama-rillo business man, first sang "The Eyes of Texas," the alma mater song of the University of Texas. Today the song has achieved nationwide renoun and is accepted by many as the official song of the state of Texas. Dr. Lambdin Prather, university president in 1903, had a habit of using the phrase, "the eyes of Texas are ypon you," when he addressed the student body. Canon and three other students who prided themselves on their close harmony devised the words and set them to the tune of "I've Been Working on the ^Railroad." AUBURN HIGH PREPARES FOR GAME WITH 0PELIKA FRIDAY AGRICULTURAL LEADERS TO CONVENE HERE NEXT WEEK Simple Method Found Building Generators Princento, N. J. —(IP)— The Palmer Physics Laboratory of Princeton University, it was announced by Dr. Robert J. Van de Graff, has perfected a simple and inexpensive method of building generators capable of developing 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 volts, which experts believe finally opens the way to the realization of the age-old dream of the transmutation of elements. The new generator, when built, is expected to furnish science with a new tool with which to carry on its attempt1 to smash the atom. Chemistry Researches^ Are Destroyed by Fire London —(IP)— A fire which destroyed the physics laboratory of St. Andrews University blotted out the results of the chemistry reseai-ches of Sir James Irvine since 1906. Sir James is the principal and vice chancellor of the university. The laboratory, which opened in 1926, contained valuable chemicals and sugars which Sir James had discovered, as well as reports on researches concerning them. ' ' (Continued from Page 1) The ultimate goal, continued Professor Duncan, is to promote a farming program for the farmers of the state, considering present conditions of farmers and also the outlook. More profitable farming is the goal. ^ Work of this kind has been done in Alabama several years; and the abundant production of food products this year is one of the good results of it. Work in 1932 will be conducted on an established program but modified to suit 1932 needs and conditions. Preparatory to the conference here next week District Agents J. T. High, R. G. Arnold, and Emmett Sizemore attended the southern agricultural outlook conference in Memphis last week. In what promises to be one of the most interesting and hard-fought games seen in Auburn for a long time, Auburn High meets Clift High School of Opelika, Friday afternoon. Despite the fact that Opelika won last year by the score of 19-7, the local gridders are planning to give Opelika their best game of the season. While Opelika has a more enviable record todate, Auburn is planning to upset the dope bucket and add another victory to their growing string. Auburn's stock rose several points when it conquered the strong Roanoke High team last week. « On the basis of comparative scores Opelika is several touchdowns to the good, but this will be partially offset by the fact that Auburn is playing on their home field. Opelika will be handicapped by the loss of Thompson, stellar halfback. Auburn will HEART 3 TIMES NORMAL SIZE Berlin —(IP)— An X-ray taken by Dr. Victor Gottheiner, sports physician reveal that the heart of Paavo Nurmi, the Finnish record sprinter, is three times normal size.

Steel Mills Studied By Architects Here To make sketches of steel mills in Birmingham and vicinity, Prof. Roy H. Staples and T. E. Kipp, of Leeds, faculty member and student, respectively, in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts will leave Auburn Wednesday, Nov. 25. They will spend five days in Birmingham, sketching at night as well as during the day. Prof. Staples is an instructor in applied art and Kipp is a fourth-year student in commercial art. Sewanee's highly touted football machine went down before a light, hard charging, eleven from Auburn at Legion Field in Birmingham Saturday. With his team rated as the underdog Coach Wynne pulled a neat bit of stragedy by starting his shock troops. This squad battled Sewanee to a standstill during their stay in the first quarter and left the field in favor of the regulars with the ball deep in Sewanee's territory. Early in the second quarter Coach Wynne trotted seven of his first stringers on the field and these grid-ironers made short work of pushing the oval over for the first marker. On the first play, Williams passed to Hitchcock for fifteen yards, who lugged it to the three yard line before being forced out of bounds. It was Auburn's ball, first down and only three yards to go for a touchdown, but here Sewanee's line made a gallant stand. Dupree tried the line on two successive plays and only gained a yard each time. Another try at the line failed to gain. With it fouth down and one yard to go Hitchcock took the ball off right tackle and missed a touchdown by inches. Sewanee took the ball and Phillips made a beautiful kick to his 45 yard line, but Hitchcock returned it to the 33. Wynne's first stringers were not to be denied, however, and after Hitchcock had been thrown for a four yard loss on the first play, he threw a beautiful 25-yard pass to Grant, who ran fne remaining 12 yards to glory, leaving in his trail two would be Sewanee tacklers. Hitchcock try for the extra point was wide by inches. Score: Auburn 6; Sewanee 0. Allen Rogers, midget halfback, made the second touchdown on a five yard run around left end. This score came after a 85 yard march (Continued on page 4) LIONS HEAR KILEY ON COACHING DUTY Pays Tribute t o Rockne As Developer of Manhood The sreious responsibility with which the best football coaches go about their j6b of training the young men in their charge to become expert athletes and worthwhile men in later life was explained by Roger Kiley, assistant coach at Auburn in speaking Tuesday before the regula* meeting of Lions Club at the Thomas Hotel. No good coach, he said, would hazard the physical well-being of his players merely for the winning of an athletic contest. Pointing to the immortal example and influence on American youth exerted by his former tutor, the late Knute Rockne, Coach Kiley recalled some of the valuable lessons given his pupils by this great mentor. It was constantly Coach Rockne's realization that the conduct of his players both in college and in after life was the' reflection of his influence. This he valued most highly and was equally as anxious that his teaching of fairplay and sportsmanship should carry beyond the football field. Club President, Hugh C. Dillon, reported that Alabama Lions Clubs lead the 55* other club districts in the United States in increased membership during the last quarter year. This, he said, is a tribute to the capable supervision of Prof. F. E. Guy-ton, of Auburn, governor of the 34th district. Only 10 districts in the country showed an increase in membership and Alabama lead with a ranking of 86 per cent. The splendid golf displayed by Lion J. L. Seal in the recent tournament was called to the attention of the club. PLAYERS WILL HOLD DRAMATORY-OUTS Cast for New Play to be Selected At 'Y' Hut Next Monday Alabama Champions Go to 4-H Congress Alabama's champion 4-H Club members who will represent the state at the National 4-H Club Congress to be held in Chicago, November 29- December 5, have been announced by Miss Margaret Garrett and T.

Tryouts for the pHy, "A Night at an Inn", will be held Monday night at the "Y" hut by the Auburn Players, it was announced yesterday by Talifer B. Peet, head of the Players. "This play, which is one of the better known of those by Lord Dunsany, calls for eight male parts, including three English merchant sailors, a dilapidated English gentleman, and three to take the part of Hindu priests. It is a horror play in the accepted style, and has met with popular reception in its performances over the radio. It is hoped that the play may be cast completely Monday night; and the invitation has been issued again to those who—wish to try for the parts. The meeting will start %,at 8 o'clock. Although this play will at first be presented at a Players meeting it will be presented soon after to the student body. Everyone who wishes to try out is urged to come, as it has been difficult in past to cast several plays on account of the smallness of the Players organization. Books Discussed At Club Meeting A discussion of present-day authors and their novels was given by Miss Jewel Davis before the monthly evening session of the Business and Professional Women's Club Monday evening at the home of Miss Berta Dunn. Attendance was the largest on record for the club. The discussion followed regular monthly business session of the club.

Obesity Rages Among Girls At Montevallo Says Unknown Writer Unlike the average Greek fraternity Jiouse steward, the chefs of dear old Montevallo believe in keeping the poundage of their gentle charges well above the norm.. Ye frail lassie that leaves home bragging about her slender structure returns in a few months a veritable picture of rolling flesh; contrast the cadaverous- looking Greek of the Plains with the roly-poly maid of Alabama College. Montevallo is no longer the abode of the weaker sex; this institution is producing a brand of female " flesh never before seen in the history of 'mankind. What were formerly sharp angles and piercing projections are now sweeping curves and rdunded arcs. Upon being asked how his daughter was getting along, one proud father remarked, "While the other girls are putting on airs our Susie is putting in hot biscuits." And it IS something to be proud of; to be able put flesh on the modern woman is a praiseworthy accomplishment. We salute the culinary department of Alabama College and wish them continued success, with a steady increase of tonnage and an ascending figure of biscuit consumption. AGRICULTURAL LEADERS TO CONVENE HERE NEXT WEEK Agricultural Situation And Outlook to be Explained in Three Day Session to be Held in Auburn November 23, 24, and 25—^Duncan With a view of acquainting farmers, bankers, and merchants of Alabama with the agricultural situation and outlook for different crops and livestock in 1932 extension service specialists, supervisors, experiment station workers, and leaders in vocational agriculture work of the state will be in session at Auburn November 23, 24, and 25, as announced today by Professor L. N. Duncan, director of the Extension Service. At this meeting official data on the situation and outlook will be presented by C. F. Sarle and James D. Pope of the Federal Farm Board at Washington. Agricultural information which cost the Federal government about $3,000,000 to collect and compile will be presented to the Alabama leaders at that time. This meeting of the state leaders will be followed by a meeting of county agents and they in turn will present it at county meetings of farmers, bankers, and merchant's. These county meetings will be arranged under the direction of county farm and home demonstration agents and the data will be presented with the established program for better and safer farming in Alabama. In an advanced announcement Director Duncan said that the aim is to help Alabama farmers to make more money in 1932. With this in view Alabama and the national outlook facts will be prepared for presentation at the county meetings. Every crop and every animal will have specific consideration. Having the facts, each farmer will apply them and profit by doing so. This being done for the state the information will then be applied to the different counties, on a basis of their conditions and . needs. Hence it will be adjusted to the needs of each county of the state.

Collins of the School of Education, told the Auburn Kiwanis club, at their meeting Monday, that within ten years the number, of high schools in Alabama was increased from 150 in 1920, to 328 in 1930, and that the enrollment during this period increased from 30,000 to 60,000. Turning to the high school situation in the United^ States Professor Collins said that enrollment has increased from 500,000 in 1890 to 4,000,000 this year. He explained that 4,000,000 is half of the number of boys and girls of high school age in the United States. The speaker said that very few of the boys and girls who enter high school graduate and still fewer enter college. "Of an average class of 40 students entering the seventh grade", he continued, "only 13 will graduate, or complete the 12th grade. Of these 13 only 40 per cent will enter college." America, he explained, is the only nation that makes secondary education universal. In other nations those who enter high school are selected and elected. The meeting was attended by John K. Watkins of Opelika, who was recently elected governor of Alabama Kiwanis district. Mr. Watkins spoke briefly, thanking the Auburn club for their support and pledging his untiring efforts in behalf of Kiwanis in Afabama in 1932. Dr. J. W.

The press bellows its every particle, and political leaders rise to frenzied heights over the subtlety of its debatability. .The much discussed, the defended, the damned, and still existing, eighteenth amendment, is the forum choice in the train smoker, the after dinner round table, and the weekly meeting of the Ladies Aid society, all over America. To the college boy, prohibition is a constant source of perplexity. College papers all over the country have taken stra"w, ballots to determine the position of prohibition in the undergraduate's mind, and the ever-defiant collegian, so long as it causes no necessity of taking a direct stand on anything, votes against the measure because it is the ' popular thing to do—the term popular being used to imply that it is part of the conventional picture for the college boy to carry a hip-flask, and drink his licker straight. Not that he particularly objects to the picture nor is unduely fond of it; but the college youth does love to be collegiate to those off the campus. . The majority of us don't know what the country was like before Andy Volstead came along with his disturbing little proposal. We have no basis of comparison, no grounds to stand up and say the nation would be better off if it were repealed. However, we do know that when we want our whiskey, we can get it, with ease, in any town in the United States. We also know that the stuff is horrible, distasteful, and that our fore fathers must have had something more pleasing to drink. We feel, although our observations are limited indeed, that drinking is decreasing in undergraduate life. It is an interesting observation to note that the percent of our Alumni who return for the football games with the proverbial quart slightly exceeds the proportion of the undergraduates lugging the bottle to the game. Yet, the young American is disposed less to condemn the participators than his elders, even though he be a total abstainer himself,, but there are many boys who openly detest drinking. Many who admonish the greek brother to abstain, and point to the pit falls ahead. The basic principles of every Greek Letter organization are in sympathy with the rigid enforcement of the eighteenth amendment, and the local presidents usually feel the responsibility of their office and endeavor to reduce drinking among their men. How few laymen realize the special effort almost all upperclassmen make to keep the freshmen, so soon away from his mother's apron strings, from partaking of strong drink. One could ramble at even greater lengths on the college man and his ideas on the subject without clarifying the situation. It is indeed a perplexity, but the fact remains that we still laugh when our elders raise their deaflng ballyhoo over the harrassed subject. f * ' THE ROBOT'S PERFECTION We, the people of the United States, standing on a self-raised pedestal, gaze into the past and see ourselves mirrored by our own supreme egotism, as the greatest nation on earth. Perhaps we are, at least the course of events which have moulded our nations history since its birth give us reason to believe that such is true. There is no denying that we have made more rapid strides than any other nation for the past century and a half. It is a certainty that our development materially has been phenomenal and that we have secured for ourselves a large 'place in the sun'. Despite the fact that all this is true we have not yet paused in our mad rush for supremacy to really determine whether we have more than a strong body with great chances for a startling lack of brains. John Bull is credited with the development of the largest race of men affected with narcissum that the modern world has known. Again we admit that this could easily be true, but in all due respect to our brothers from the Isles, we are forced to admit that they are never guilty of proclaiming such,beliefs to the world at large unless directly challenged by an alien. No excuse is needed for the great one-hundred percenter, which this country is afflicted with, to boast of personal and national triumphs. We have succeeded in developing a type of man that will never leave behind him a single thing which could be called progressive. True, he may construct a mechanical device, may propound a code of laws or may find the end of the rain-bow and his greed selected pot of gold, but by divine Providence he will carry all this with him to his narrow minded heaven and erase all traces of his childish existence as he departs. In the one hundred and fifty odd years of our meteoric rise we have developed a brand of men who may be classed only as those who are egotists and materialists of the highest order. Letters to the Editor Editor of The Plainsman: Conscientious Cletus, ever alert, always on the offensive with the spirit of progress, strides on and on in the face of adversity. I sincerely admire his spirit. Power is something to be proud of. Civilized countries are proud. Why? Because the less powerful in such countries have just enough intelligence to make room for the more powerful in such a way that this power expresses itself with greater efficiency than in uncivilized countries. To be versatile is to be strong. To be strong in the face of adversity is to be powerful. This is complimentary in an abstract way to our critic. Since reading the last article of our sincere critic in Saturday's Plainsman I have racked my mental potentiality in order to form a new set of ideas that are less obloquizing. If he is a patron of the above bit of philosophy, of which I am confident that he is, he has a good portion of my apologetic feelings. My newly formulated ideas regarding our critic are: 1.' He is sincere. 2. He is serious in his criticism, but means for it to be taken as a constructive element" from the student's viewpoint. 3. He is not a "Tinkerer". 4. He has the welfare of the students, especially the freshmen, at heart. These ideas are a result from the last edition of The Plainsman. Now to say something in my own defence. I still maintain that to be a good critic one must be an expert. I compliment our critic on his observations. I believe that a good critic should fall into the higher class of men. To be a great man one must be a careful observer. To give decisions to a great question that arises one must be a careful observer. Throughout our college careers, and especially during our senior years, our professors have endeavored to set fire to that tiny bit of material in every one of us that is capable of being transformed into that highly prized quality called initiative. A person who has iiftative is an observer. When one has become well acquainted with the effective phenomena of an- organization he is better fit to observe. I 'think that every student is well acquainted with this factor in regards to the library. An analysis of such an organization is not so complex as that of other organizations on the campus. I appreciate the fact that we are capable of offering constructive ideas regarding the management of such organizations. Now "take a look at this case. A group of ordinary artists are in the market for an old art treasure whose originality is questionable. These artists will not consult an expert regarding the originality of such a picture. Instead they will rely upon their own meager intelligence and "ability. Reasoning tells us that they will frequently be wrong. The most important thing in any argument is the comprehension of the major teims on each side. It is said that one great debater of a decade ago used one sentence that obliterated all misunderstanding in any of his arguments. That sentence was, "Define your terms". At the close of this panegyric let me endeavor to make one of my own terms clear which it appears that I did not do last time. An expert in any field is a highly skilled person, in that field, in the art of coordinating and < pplying knowledge that is acquired, usually, through practice, though not always. He is a specialist. No, not Ex-Lax. —A Senior. Prexy's Paragraphs By Bradford Knapp The most difficult thing to understand after a trip to New York' City is how this country can be in financial straits with millions of high powered a u t o m o b i l e s crowding the streets of our great cities. At noon and between four and six o'clock in the evening Fifth Avenue and Broadway in New York were almost blocked with automobiles. They were not the kind of automobiles that we use so much out in the country. There were very sfew Fords and Chevrolets on the streets in New York. They looked like expensive cars to me. I believe Will Rogers made a very wise remark over the radio the other day when he said something to this effect: This country, if it goes broke, is going to break a record in doing so; we were certainly traveling to the poor-house in six-cylinder cars. * * * * Another thing which bothers me a good deal is when you have to pay a dollar for a breakfast consisting of a little fruit, a couple of eggs, three slices of toast and a cup of coffee. * * * * What do we think of education m times like these? The world still needs thinkers and workers. It still needs men and women who know what has happened in the world and who can think honestly and clearly and who are willing to work courageously to bring to pass those things which ought to happen in the world in order that we might restore humanity to a reasonable degree of happiness, contentment and the enjoyment of those liberties and privileges which are the inherent right of every man. A technical education which fits one for a task in any of the industries including both engineering and agriculture or to serve in the great business world in shaping the economic welfare of the people will be just as useful and just as important in the new day as it has been in the days that are gone. But there are many tasks which must rest upon the shoulders of the next generation and which, to my mind, will be even more important than all these. How may we eliminate at least in part the greed and selfishness of the material age through which we are passing? How may the laboring man be assured of a job? How may the necessities of life, as well as the luxuries and enjoyments incident to the use of those things which science has produced in the last seventy-five years, be better distributed so that all men may reasonably participate in them? I know it is the habit of young men to think that the opportunities to do great things have all passed on. I sometimes wish I might exchange places with a freshman in college and get ready for the great tasks and the great services and the great opportunities which lie in the next fifty years of the world's history. * * * * We bicker and fight and scheme and quarrel over the little affairs which come. up every day. But the world moves on in great stretches of time almost neglectful of the fact that humanity is nothing more than the sum total of millions of lives lived courageously and worthily, or selfishly and unworthily. There never was a! time when we all have needed courage and devotion to till mate results as we need these virtues to-ciay. * * * * Auburn is more than just what we are living here. Going into New York City last Thursday morning, I picked up a copy of the New York American and there on the front page was a splendid article about the great work of Doctor Fred Allison. I turned to the Literary Digest and found a humorous reference to the discovery of Element No. 85 quoting from the editor of some paper, who said if Element No. 85 was a missing element he hadn't missed it yet. While coming home Sunday I bought daily papers all down the road to read about the game with Sewanee. On Friday night I sat with some fifteen older and younger Auburn men and talked to them about their Alma Mater. There is a fine loyalty in these men of Auburn as they are serving their country in many places. To think that fifteen men on very short notice would come together and spend a whole evening talking about Auburn and its past history and its future possibilities in one of the greatest, busiest, and most self-centered cities in all the world, was a tribute to the spirit which is engendered here upon this old campus. It is entirely possible a "racketeer king" may arise in a few years and control the business of the country.—Rosalie Loew Whitney. A fine woman, like a fortified town. . . . demands a regular siege; and we must even allow her the honors of war, to magnify the greatness of our victory.'—Hugh Kelly. *> AUBURN FOOTPRINTS #= Now that better times are appearing tin-horn politicians and 'cigar store legislators can devote their entire timeto the coming election. * * * * * * * * * * Pencil and paper coaches have received a severe jolt this year.

WITH OTHER COLLEGES Those exponents of the Auburn spirit may find something to reflect over in the following editorial comment from the Tit-lane Hullabaloo: "For real, old-fashioned college spirit we take our hats off to the students and alumni from Alabama Polytechnic Institute, better known as Auburn. It looks as if those boys from the Alabama plains just like to "whoop it up" for no other reason than then personal pleasure they derive from 'raisin' 'ell.' That, at least, was our impression gained at the Tulane-Auburn football game in Montgomery Saturday. "These Auburnites didn't greatly exert themselves during the game itself, regardless of the fact that there were about four cheerleaders going through semaphore signals in front of them. At times the little bands of scattered rooters from New Orleans gave much more evidence of their presence than the Tiger supporters. But the night before the game and the evening after the contest were completely given • oyer to Auburn whoopee. In the lobbies of the main hotels of Montgomery Friday night savage war cries of 'Eat 'em up, Tiger!' could be heard throughout the night and far into the wee hours of the morn. The spirits of Alabama prevailed. "Of more significance was the spirit (or spirits,—or both) shown after Tulane had overwhelmed the fighting little Auburn aggregation. On the streets, in the hotel lobbies, and even in the best restaurants the Indian-like whoops of 'War Eagle!' and 'Eat 'em up, Tiger!' rattled our sensitive eardrums. Those guys (including many a stray, prodigal alumnus with young ideas) just didn't know they were beaten. And the Auburn football team made such a gallant stand during the first half that whenever we met an Auburn supporter after the game, we felt like apologizing for Tulane's having such a good team. Spirit? Auburn has more of it than any college in the Southern Conference". * * * * Page Cletus. Prepare the "A" Club. Don't let the freshmen find out about it. Up at the University of Illinois they have removed all rules applying only to freshmen. They are not required to entertain the upperclassmen, and are not forced to rim errands for anyone. We assume that this progressive tide must have followed the abolition of wholesale beating by many years. The freshmen had not uprooted any of the buildings according to the last report. * * * * * The editor of The Red and Black, the paper from the school that bowed so nobly to Tulane last Saturday, ends a lengthly editorial with these words: "Pull that bell! Wear those caps! And, sit together at these games, freshmen! He also ventures that if these things are not done that the offending freshmen can go back to the farm, where they came froml>r to the corner drug store . We are personally glad to learn what causes all the freshmen faults. It would be a bitter picture indeed to see the young collegian returning from college to hang his head in shame saying: "I failed to make good as a rah! rah! boy." * * * * Cumberland University has a Greek graveyard in which are buried the memories of fifteen chapters of greek letter fraternities which have passed on since 1854. So many of our schools are reluctant to admit the state of their fraternities". * * * * . * The Yale Daily News has raised a protest against the scheduling of a bootball game with a small school in preparation for the Harvard game. "Where", said the News, "is the good old 'devil-may-care' spirit which does not stoop to petty things, which plays football for the fun of playing the game, and not for the hope that she (Yale) may prove herself a superior institution by defeating adversary in athletics?" We should like, to refer the boys up at Eli to the University of Georgia. * * * * Let masculine pride assume its just proportions. Co-eds do dress up just for our benefit. We have discovered this fact from Miss Lee, an authority on college women. It would be a woman. "Cocktails, clothes, and competition are the major interest of Americajs college women in the opinion of Frances Lee, 'professional collegiate.' Pretty Miss'L'ee, herself out of college only a couple of years, has unearthed some unusual facts in her visits to one hundred American colleges to study the college girl. "One of the most interesting facts in connection with the controversy between coeducation and segregated womenV colleges is that clothes play a much larger part in the life of the co-ed than the girl in a woman's college, according to Miss Lee. ' 'At co-educational colleges girls dress for men all the time, and they use a great deal of make-up. They go with more or less the same group of people, and are seen in more or less the same setting. So their idea is to get as many changes of costume as possible with the money they have." INSIGHTS By Conscientious Cletus 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, and is not to be read as an expression of our editorial policy. * 4 * * " 'If. colleges are to continue to cater to the general public and to alumni in conducting football programs, let the situation at least be clarified. Let the alumni pay a good living wage to every football man, openly and not underhandedly. Let all scholastic requirements be waived , for football players. Let honest professionalism replace furtive hypocrisy'. Thus the Columbia Spectator, overstates a good case but voices modern youth's demand for open alliances openly arrived at. It is refreshing to know that student opinion is beginning to express itself in terms that college authorities will have to recognize in the end. "Pop Warner, one of the conspicuous coaches of the country, had a defense of football in Collier's Weekly recently. What he said in effect was that conditions are much improved over the status of 25 years ago, and that few people realize how much returns from football sustain other athletic activities. But neither claim meets the issue presented by those who object to overemphasis on football or to the indirection which the game as conducted at present has introduced into the scheme of higher education. , "The Spectator offers this picture of the situation as it is: 'This game which is one of the world's greatest sports, has been gradually grinding itself out of the student consciousness until probably 80 percent of the men who play college football in. the bigger institutions' are semi-professional athletes hired' by assistant coaches who make annual pilgrimages to prep schools.' If that be true of the bigger institutions we may well wonder how much they have been emulated by the lesser fry. "Alumni influence has contributed materially to the ballyhooing of football. That together with false competition among colleges and among coaches has driven college authorities into submission. And the conscientiously maintained have been placed at a serious disadvantage. What are they to do about it? Grin and bear it or quit the game? The latter alternative is by no means as impossible as some of*us may think, and that's a pity. For if they hold out a little longer, they may find themselves in a position to enjoy the reward of preferring the credit to the immediate cash." * * * * The above is an editorial taken directly from the Birmingham Age-Herald of November 3rd, and it is given here in its complete form because it expresses very concisely the author's opinion regaining the athletic situation, not only at Auburn, but throughout the country. It is indeed surprising to see this editorial appear in the Birmingham Age-Herald but the fact that .it was published in that paper points out all the more clearly tnat people all over the country are thinking about the condition of modern day football. * * * * The reaction at Columbia, to the very frank editorial of the Spectator concerning the condition of modern football seems to prove very clearly the point that all great minds run in the same channel. ' The following paragraphs were taken from Arthur Brisbane's column: "Reed Harris, editor of the Columbia Spectator, says editorially that football is largely professional and those that manage athletic funds are not willing to show their accounts. . To that there young Columbia College football players reply convincingly. They tell the editor, 'If you say anything like that again, three of us will beat you up." Three good football players, in training, could probably keep the promise." Sports for the sake of the sport is the ideal of college athletics, and until this point is reached college students will find it almost impossible to attain any idea of relative values.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 18, 1931 T H E P L A I N S M AN A L A B A M A P O L Y T E C H N I C I N S T I T U TE PAGE THREE STRONG GEORGIA TEAM TO BE ENCOUNTERED ON SATURDAY Auburn to Meet Oldest Rival in Memorial Stadium in Columbus; First Game Between the Two Schools Played at Old Piedmont Park, Atlanta, February 22, 1892 Auburn's oldest football feud will be renewed in Columbus, Ga., Saturday, when the Tigers meet the Georgia Bulldogs at Memorial Stadium. The first meeting on the gridiron between Auburn and Georgia was at old Piedmont Park, Atlanta, Ga., February 22, 1892. The Plainsmen won the initial fray, 10 to 0. This year's clash stands out as the best the two schools have had to offer the fans since 1922. Georgia is one of the outstanding teams in the country, with only a loss to Tulane to mar their record, and Coach. "Chet" Wynne's Plainsmen have made such rapid strides forward since the opening game with Birmingham-Southern that Coach Bernie Bierman, of Tulane, thinks that Wynne has one of the best first elevens in the Southern Conference. The Electric City has been the scene of the Auburn-Georgia conflict since 1916, with the exception of the break during the World War and in 1928, when the game was taken to Athens to aid in the dedication of the Bulldogs new stadium. This game has one of the most colorful histories of any game in the South and wijl be the only college tilt played in Columbus this year. Both Auburn and Georgia are exponents of the Notre Dame style of football as taught by the late Knute Rockne. There will be much shifting at Memorial Stadium Saturday with Capt. Downes, Mott, Dickens, Whire, Key, Chandler and Roberts expected to be in the limelight in Georgia's backfteld and Williams, Hitchcock, Rogers, Brown, Hatfield, Phipps and Dupree in Auburn's. THE JUNG HOTEL NEW ORLEANS, LA. Eighteen stories of modern Hotel Luxury. 700 Rooms, 700 Baths, 700 Servidors. 700 Ice Water Faucets, 700 Electric Ceiling Fans. The only Hotel in Jtfew Orleans that has all of these conveniences in every room. Without exception. Largest Free Parking Grounds in the South. Rates $2.50 and $3.00 "You can live better at the Jung for Less" A comparison of scores makes Harry Mehre's eleven the favorite, but the Plainsmen are determined to give the Red and Black team a fight that will rival the ones put up by Auburn during the days when the Southern championship was awarded to the Plains. Since casting aside an inferiority complex that hurt them considerably when facing the top-notch teams in the nation, the Tigers have feared every opponent this year, but have not conceded any team a victory until the sounding of taps after 60 minutes of fierce battling. This was proved in the Tulane melee when the great Green Wave was held scoreless until the final few seconds of the first half. » Auburn has been outweighed in every game this year, but superior coaching and a courageous band of players has given Alabama Polytechnic Institute an impressive record of four wins, one tie and two losses. The Tigers record for the season follows: Auburn 24, Birmingham-Southern 6. Auburn 7, Wisconsin 7. Auburn 13, Georgia Tech 0. Auburn 12, Florida 13. Auburn 27, Spring Hill 7. Auburn 0, Tulane 27. Auburn 12, Sewanee 0. Against Sewanee, Wynne's machine looked the best that it has looked since trouncing Georgia Tech. The line charged, blocked and tackled in superb style, and the backs ran in a manner that pleased their teachers. The return to form of Ernest Mol-pus and the playing of two sophomores, Will Chrietzburg and "Ripper" Williams, brightened Auburn's chances of making a much better showing against the Athenians than was at first expected. Molpus was breaking through from left guard and throwing Purple and White ball Meal of Wheat Served 120 At Oberlin College Oberlin, O.—(IP)—One hundred and twenty guests of Dr. Robert E. Brown, professor of theology and human relations at the Graduate School of Theology of Oberlin College here went home with satisifed appetites the other night after dining on a meal of wheat, served at an average cost of 3 cents a person. The guests partook of an eight course dinner of which the basis was whole wheat. It was the invention of Dr. Brawn and was heralded as a partial solution for the relief work which is now confronting practically every community in the nation. Its success was acclaimed by those present as well as relief workers from sections of the county where the meal has been tried. The meal was given here as a practical demonstration of what can be done with wheat. A cereal soup, made by boiling and straining wheat, seasoned with salt and pepper, was served first. Then followed a wheat "meat loaf" composed of two-thirds wheat and a small amount of meat. Whole-wheat muffins were served as well as cold slaw and a baked apple to balance the meal. "Coffee/' made of roasted wheat kernels, was served at the end of the meal.

The ban was placed last year by President Cowling, who explained that he felt the instruments were not conductive to study- in the dormitories, since they were so noisy. "I shall not stand in the way of their return, however, if the committee investigating the students' wishes on the matter finds the radios are really wanted," the president said. A petition of 200 men students opened the question this year. Woman's Club To Hold Nov.

A talk on "Personality" by Dean Zebulon Judd, will be heard by the members of the department of education. Current articles will be reviewed, by Mrs. W. D. Salmon. Mrs. Ercel Friel will be the hostess. The department of civics will meet at the home of Mrs. Fred Allison. Mrs. J. W. Scott will speak on "Ornamental Shrubs and Trees."

Williams, a sophomore from Tuscumbia, was cool under fire and impressed Wynne very much with his work. He eats and sleeps football and has the makings of a brilliant quarterback. Other wearers of the Orange and Blue who showed up well in Birmingham, were Porter Grant and David Airail, ends; Co-Captain James Bush and Buddy McCollum, tackles; "Boots" Chambless, guards; Jimmie Hitchcock, Allen Rogers and Lindley Hatfield, halfbacks, and Tom Brown and Sterling Dupree, fullbaks. Hitchcock led the Plainsmen ground gainers with 136 yards, followed closely by Sophomore Rogers, who reeled off 106 yards. Grant and Ariail gave Magic City fans the prettiest exhibition of end playing staged by a pair of Auburn flankmen in several years. No one worries over how Auburn's terminals are protected with Grant and Ariail in perfect condition. Miss Louise P. Glanton has been appointed again as chairman of the Better Homes committee for Auburn. This is the eleventh nation-wide campaign of Better Homes in America, an educational organization established for public service in the interest of home improvement. President Hoover is honorary chairman of the organization and Secretary Wilbur is president. The headquarters office is in Washington, D. C, with Dr. James Ford in charge as Executive Director. The Better Homes campaign is designed to stimulate the improvement of housing conditions and bring about a more wholesome type of home and family life. The programs carried out by local committees are determined by the needs and conditions in the community. Features include lectures and discussions, exhibits, contests, and where possible the demonstration of one or more new or remodeled houses to show how the better types of homes can be provided for families of modern incomes at a cost within their reach. Care afi'd repair programs as a means of relieving unemployment during the winter are being emphasized again this year. These programs culminate in Better Homes Week which in 1932 will be from April 24 to May 1. The findings of the President's Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership, which will take place in the first week of December, will give added stimulus to the Better Homes campaign this year. The studies of the various Conference committees include such subjects as the design of homes, home construction, financing of homes, household management, homemaking, landscape planning and planting for homes, the elimination of slums and blighted Disarmament Party Formed At Manitoba Winnipeg, Man.—(IP)—An International Disarmament Party, which was begun as the refeult of a student conference in Canada early in the fall, is sweeping the dominion's universities, according to the Manitoban, undergraduate publication of the University of Manitoba, and is also gaining strength in other quarters. One of the first definite aims of the new party is the presenting of a petition to the Prime Minister asking that Canada be represented at the Geneva Disarmament Conference in February by public men who show by their action, as Canada achieves nationhood, the world's interests, are her interests. Efforts are being made to have the students of the Canadian Universities vote solidly with the new party at Canadian elections. It had gained a firm stronghold in eastern universities and is rapidly becoming popular in those of the middle and far west .of the Dominion.

'COLUMBUS TYPEWRITER COMPANY Sales & Service Office 306 Georgia Home Bldg. Columbus, Ga. After trailing at half by thirteen to nothing the Auburn rats, coached by "Bull" McFaden, staged a spectacular comeback in the third and fourth stanzas and defeated Ted Banks' baby green wave, of Tulane, by twenty to nineteen here Saturday. The ijame ended the season for baby Tigers with four wins and one defeat. Tulane scored late in first quarter after a lateral pass from Simon to Loftin, had gained thirty yards, and I laced the ball on Auburn's fifteen yard line. Loftin went over for touchdown on next play. They failed to kick goal. Tulane's second touchdown came in second quarter as result of line bucks and pass, from Simon to Phillips. Phillips kicked goal, making score thirteen to nothing at half. Second half opened with each team fighing hard and playing spectacular football. Tulane worked the ball to Auburn's ten yard line and fumbled. Standing behind his goal line, Henderson received the ball for a fake kick, but dashed around right end on a sweeping run for a touchdown. It was a beautiful play. Tuner kicked goal. Later in same period Morris flipped a beautiful pass to Kemp who dashed over for Auburn's . second counter which tied the score. Tuner failed at goal and the score was thirteen all. i Tulane seored next after intercepting pass on 44-yard line. Auburn was penalized fifteen yards and line bucks placed ball near Auburn's goal. Loftin then went over for touchdown but failed at goal. Score nineteen to thirteen for Auburn. But the Auburn rats would not be downed. They fought with grim determination to win, and win they did. With the ball in their possession and only thirty yards from their goal Snider threw a pass to Henderson, who received it on Tulane's 25-yard line and dashed over for the final 'touchdown of the game; Moore kicked goal, placing Auburn one point ahead and there the score stood 20 to 19 at end of game.

Hitch cock intercepted a Sewanee pass on his 15 yard line and Returned it to the 28. Rogers then made a beauti ful run of 27 yards and placed the ball on Sewanee's 45-yard marker, Hitchcock passed to Rogers for seven yards and on the next play Rogers made it first down on the 30 as the quarter ended. When the fourth quarter opened Rogers -was away again and could not be stopped until he had reached the 13-yard line. Brown and Hitchcock picked up 9 yards thrpugh the line on two plays, placing the ball on Sewanee's 5-yard line. From here Rogers raced around end for the last score of the game. Hitchcock tried a pass to Grant for the extra point, but it was incomplete. Score: Auburn 12; Sewanee 0. Auburn had very little trouble gaining while the first team was on the field, and made several bids for touchdowns, which failed because of fumbles or Sewanee's great defensive stands in the shadow of their goal. Sewanee's line played a great defensive game but were worn down in the last few minutes and the light Auburn backs had very little trouble in breaking away for extra yards after they had been held up momen-tarilly. Auburn's passing attack clicked to perfection throughout the game with Hitchcock, Williams and Phip'ps alternating in throwing them.

FRIDAY, NOV. 20 GARY COOPER CLAUDETTE COLBERT "His Woman"- ALSO PARAMOUNT NEWS called the magic pass signal ten times during the game and six of these found their mark for a total gain of 117 yards. Hitchcock had the best average in yards gained by rushing the ball with a total of 137 yards gained in fifteen tries. He was pushed hard, however, by Rogers who gained 106 yards in eleven tries. Auburn out-gained Sewanee some 350 yards to 100 and made twenty first downs to the purple and^ white team's six. The greater portion of Sewanee's gains were made over the shock troops and two of their first downs came as results of penalities. Sewanee went the entire game without receiving a penality while Auburn was penalized three times for a total of thirty-five yards. Rogers and Hitchcock were the highlights in the Auburn offensive, while the entire line played a wonderful game on both the defense and offense. For Sewanee, Morton and Patton played a beautiful game on the line, while Wellford and Gee carried off the honors on the offense. Auburn used only straight football probably saving their trick plays to use against Georgia next week. If Wynne's passing attack continues improving as it has in the past, it is likely to give Georgia even more trouble than it has Tulane and Sewanee. EARLY CHURCH RUINS FOUND Ann Arbor, Mich. —(IP)— The University of Michigan has announced that an expedition directed by Professor Leroy Waterman has discovered in Galilee the remains of what appeared to be an early Christian Church.

Whoever is assigned to do the "beating up" will have a tough time of it, however, for Harris weighs no less than 215 pounds and once played football himself. And that the scrap is likely to occur is evidenced by the fact that Harris has announced, to the faces of the protesting gridders, that he'll say whatever he pleases about the football team in the Spectator.

The Same Goods For Less Money Now on Display in Our Store Burton's Bookstore Thanksgiving Greeting Cards Borrowing Weekly Paper Has Dangers The practice of borrowing has its advantages but it also has many disadvantages, thinks P. O. Davis. It works on some things but not on others. "When it comes to borrowing the weekly newspaper I am of the opinion that subscribing is much better than borrowing," said Mr. Davis. . "Borrowing is not as good for the reader and it is bad for the editor who realizes that borrowing is a tribute to his paper but he is unable to show names of borrowers on his audited subscription list; and here is where he suffers in addition to losing the subscription money which he needs to pay his bills and give his readers a good paper." So far Mr. Davis has not been able to offer a solution; but he,calls attention to a paragraph which has been going the rounds of the press for many years, and* will still bear reprinting. "A farmer, rather than subscribe to the paper, sent his boy to borrow a neighbor's. The lad knocked over a stand of bees. His father, hurrying to help him, ran into a barbed-wire fence, gashing his leg and ruining a new pair of overalls. Hearing the noise, his wife ran out, upsetting a four-gallon churn of cream into a basket of kittens, drowing the litter. At the same time she dropped and broke a new set of store teeth. During the excitement the daughter eloped with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven sitting hens, and the calves got out and chewed up a line of washing hung out to dry. All to save one or two Hollars, the price of a subscription." Light Replaces Copper Wire In Telephone Moscow, Idaho—(IP)—A •telephone that uses a beam of light instead of a copper wire for transmitting sound has been developed at the University of Idaho by Dr. Gus-taf W. Ham'mar, head of the physics department and Lawrence W. Fos-kett, one of his graduate students. , Originating as a scientific experiment, the discovery opens up an entirely new field of sound communication which may be used by such agencies as the United States forestry service and the army and nevy signal corps. Dr. Hammar and Fosket modestly explain that they simply made use of scientific principles which have been known before. A sensitive photo-etectric cell snakes the new light telephone possible. Much like a radio tube in appearance, the cell detectives minute changes in the intensity of light to which it is exposed. S. I. A. ASKED TO AMEND RULES Lexington, Ky.—(IP)—The Southern Intercollegiate Association will be asked by Transylvania College to amend its rules so freshmen may play on varsity football teams. Authorities here believe that the change would allow the smaller colleges which are members of the association to compete with southern colleges of greater size in public interest. HAS GREEK GRAVEYARD Lebanon, Tenn. — (IP) — Cumberland University has a Greek graveyard in which are buried the memories of fifteen chapters of Greek-letter fraternities which have passed on here since 1854. Four of the chapters died during the Civil War, and the other eleven just died natural deaths in years since then. Scientists Says Light Signal to Mars Possible Berkeley, Cal.— (IP)—That an inhabitant of Mars some day looking through a telescope may see a signal of light from the earth, is the belief of Dr. B. B. Brode, associate professor, of physics at the University of California, who asserted recently that if it were possible to broadcast red light on an extremely short wave length, a Martian looking at the right time could detect the gleam 35,000,- 000 miles away. The professor's statement followed an announcement from London by Professor E. V. Appleton had located what was believed to be the atmosphere layer above the earth which ordinary radio waves cannot penetrate. This layer, Dr. Appleton said, is 130 miles above^h«-earth. Dr. Brode, therefore, suggests that visible light rays, little different (than radio waves, must be the means of communicating with another planet. Texas U. Alma Mater Song Passes 28th Year Austin, Tex.—(IP)—It was just 28 years ago that J. R. Canon, Ama-rillo business man, first sang "The Eyes of Texas," the alma mater song of the University of Texas. Today the song has achieved nationwide renoun and is accepted by many as the official song of the state of Texas. Dr. Lambdin Prather, university president in 1903, had a habit of using the phrase, "the eyes of Texas are ypon you," when he addressed the student body. Canon and three other students who prided themselves on their close harmony devised the words and set them to the tune of "I've Been Working on the ^Railroad." AUBURN HIGH PREPARES FOR GAME WITH 0PELIKA FRIDAY AGRICULTURAL LEADERS TO CONVENE HERE NEXT WEEK Simple Method Found Building Generators Princento, N. J. —(IP)— The Palmer Physics Laboratory of Princeton University, it was announced by Dr. Robert J. Van de Graff, has perfected a simple and inexpensive method of building generators capable of developing 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 volts, which experts believe finally opens the way to the realization of the age-old dream of the transmutation of elements. The new generator, when built, is expected to furnish science with a new tool with which to carry on its attempt1 to smash the atom. Chemistry Researches^ Are Destroyed by Fire London —(IP)— A fire which destroyed the physics laboratory of St. Andrews University blotted out the results of the chemistry reseai-ches of Sir James Irvine since 1906. Sir James is the principal and vice chancellor of the university. The laboratory, which opened in 1926, contained valuable chemicals and sugars which Sir James had discovered, as well as reports on researches concerning them. ' ' (Continued from Page 1) The ultimate goal, continued Professor Duncan, is to promote a farming program for the farmers of the state, considering present conditions of farmers and also the outlook. More profitable farming is the goal. ^ Work of this kind has been done in Alabama several years; and the abundant production of food products this year is one of the good results of it. Work in 1932 will be conducted on an established program but modified to suit 1932 needs and conditions. Preparatory to the conference here next week District Agents J. T. High, R. G. Arnold, and Emmett Sizemore attended the southern agricultural outlook conference in Memphis last week. In what promises to be one of the most interesting and hard-fought games seen in Auburn for a long time, Auburn High meets Clift High School of Opelika, Friday afternoon. Despite the fact that Opelika won last year by the score of 19-7, the local gridders are planning to give Opelika their best game of the season. While Opelika has a more enviable record todate, Auburn is planning to upset the dope bucket and add another victory to their growing string. Auburn's stock rose several points when it conquered the strong Roanoke High team last week. « On the basis of comparative scores Opelika is several touchdowns to the good, but this will be partially offset by the fact that Auburn is playing on their home field. Opelika will be handicapped by the loss of Thompson, stellar halfback.
