2ND. GAME ON SCHEDULE
McFadenites Expected to Show
Stronger Offense Than Used
In First Game
STARTS A T 2:30
Two Backfields And Line Will
See Service To-day
By Tad McCallum
A large crow dis expected to fill
the Drake Field bleachers this after­noon
to witness Coach Earl Mc-
Faden's powerful freshmen In action
against the Baby Petrels of Ogle­thorpe.
The opening kick-off is sched­uled
for 2:30.
The Tiger Cubs won handily from
the Birmingham-Southern Rats in
their first game two weeks ago but
failed to show much in the way of
an offense. Since that time, Coach
McFaden has been working on the
timing of the offensive plays and the
Cubs are expected to flash a more
versatile attack this afternoon. The
passing combination of Wynne to
Wright was responsible for two
touchdowns against Birmingham-
Southern and this pair of halfbacks
will start against the Baby Petrels.
Besides being a first class passer,
Wynne is a punter of no little abili­ty
and his long distance kicking
should be a feature of the clash this
afternoon.
Houston and Whitten, two regu­lars,
have been on the hospital list
this week but have rounded into
shape and will probably be able to
start the tilt. The former is a guard*"
and in case he is unable, tb piay will
be replaced by Pace. Whitten is the
big fullback who bucked over the
second touchdown against the Birm­ingham-
Southern frosh after a bril­liant
drive down the field. He has
been slightly ill this week and may
divide the fullbacking duties with
Moore.
The big line of the Auburn plebes
showed up well defensively in the
first game but they will have a tough
time stopping the driving-attack of
the Oglethorpe frosh. Coach Mc­Faden
has plenty of reserve strength
available for his forward wall, how­ever,
and the starting line should out­weigh
that of the Georgia team con­siderably.
Two backfield combinations have
been used in practice and both will
probably see service this afternoon.
The first consists of Cleve Brown
at quarter; Wynne and Wright, half­backs;
and Whitten, fullback. The
second quartet, which is probably a
bit speedier than the above combina­tion,
is composed of Caton, quarter­back;
Snyder and Morris, halfbacks ;
and Moore, fullback. Henderson has
been alternating at the right half­back
position with Morris in this out­fit.
^ •
The same line that started the Bir­mingham-
Southern clash will prob­ably
take the field this afternoon.
Kemp and Morris will be stationed on
the ends, Paterson and Turner at
tackles, Houston and Welch at the
guards, and Haigler at center. This
is a hefty crew and the line from end
to end will average close to the 190
mark. The substituting of Musgrove,
center, Pace, guard, Bedford, tackle,
Whitten, end, and several other line­men
who will probably be used this
afternoon will increase rather than
lower the weight average.
Coach Jack OvertoiT is said to have
developed a nifty first year team over
at Oglethorpe and from all indica­tions
the battle on prake Field should
be well worth watching.
The same set of officials that hand­led
the opening game so well will
again officiate. They are Grist
(Georgia Tech), Referee; Paterson
(Auburn), Head Linesman; and
Owens (Georgia), Field Judge.
Special Train Will
Be Run to Atlanta
For Ga. Tech Game
Will Leave Auburn at 7:30
Saturday Morning; Round
Trip Tickets Three Dollars
Mr. J. B. Patterson, district
passenger agent of the Western
of Alabama Railroad, "has an­nounced
that the special train
too Atlanta for the Auburn-
Ga. Tech game on October 17,
will be run. The extremely low
rate of $3.00 will be charged
for the round trip, and this
moderate price,should make the
offer attractive to students, fac-
* ulty, and townspeople. The spe­cial
train will leave Auburn at
7:30 Saturday morning, Octobejr
17, and will arrive in Atlanta
at 10:45, allowing ample time-before
the game starts. The
train will- leave Atlanta at 8:30
Saturday night and arrive in
Auburn about 11:30. Tickets
N for the trip will be good for the
special train only and will not be
honored on trains returning Sun­day.
\ It is almost impossible to con­ceive
an Auburn-Tech game
without a special train for the
student body, and it is hoped
that an exceptionally large group
will take advantage of the low
rate offered by the Western of
Alabama. The team and band
will accompany the Auburn
backers on the special train.

Macon Will Attend

AUBURN HIGH FINDS
NOTASULGA EASY FOE
Melton, Cook, Bottoms, and
Blake Lead Way For Crush­ing
28-0 Win
Behind the driving backs, Melton,
Cook, Bottoms and Blake, Auburn
High School easily overcame Macon
County High- of Notasulga, in, their
second game of the season, 28 to 0.
Melton and Bottoms were particular­ly
effective in the offensive, depart­ment.
Auburn Hi started things off with
a bang when by consistent line plung­ing,
advanced the ball to Notasulga's
40 yard line. Here Cook kicked to
the 15 yard line, where the Notasulga
safety fumbled and Auburn recover­ed.
After several consistent gains
through the-line the ball was given
to Bottoms who knifed his way thru
the line for Auburn's first touch­down.
Bottoms repeated for the ex­tra
point. After an exchange of
punts Auburn got the ball on Nota­sulga's
1 foot line, where the gallant
Notasulga line held. Bowles' attempt
to punt was blocked twice, each
time Notasulga recovered. Finally,
on his third try, he got the ball out
towards the center of the field. Here
Melton received the ball and "behind
splendid interference ran 35 yards'
for the second touchdown. Blake
plunged through the line for the ex­tra
point. Again in the same quarter
Auburn took the ball down the field
and Melton on a long end run scored
the touchdown. He also scored the
point after touchdown. With less
than one minute to play Auburn came
within scoring distance. .Melton
fumbled the ball picked it up and
passed to Bottoms who stepped over
the goal line for the fourth touch­down.
Bottoms again scored the ex­tra
point through the line.

LOCAL POST OFFICE
SENDS SURVEY PLAN
FOR LEGAL SANCTION
Survey Results And Soil Sample
Sent to Washington By City
Engineer
SITE DEED ACCEPTED
Local Postmaster Expects Fur-therTDevelopment
Soon
"Deeds have been signed by the City
of Auburn and accepted by the United
States Treasury Department at Wash­ington,"
was the statement given out
yesterday by Postmaster L. A. Knapp.
This statement had reference to the
old grammar school site which the
city has signed over to the govern­ment
under the condition that it build
a new federal building on that loca­tion.
v Within the last two weeks this deed
was signed by the proper city offi­cials
and sent to Washington for ap­proval.
The ofijer, already under se­rious
consideration, was immediately
acted upon by the Treasury Depart­ment.
As was announced in the issue
of two weeks ago, the contract for the
topographical survey was let to the
city engineer. This survey has been
completed and reports and samples of
soil have been turned in to the Trea­sury
Department also. The next step
is to be made by this department and
•officials at Auburn are waiting for
word from them. At the same time
plans and specifications are announc­ed
for this new .building and automati­cally
opening the privilege of sub­mitting
bids, a contract will be award­ed
by local officials for the razing of
the structure which now occupies the
selected site. Work has been rushed
on this appropriation since it was last
worked upon by an Alabama senator
and an Auburn graduate in Washing­ton.
It was the belief of post officials
that under the current attempt to
solve the unemployment problem over
the country, that appropriation of this
sort would be rushed by authorities in
charge in the national capitol.

\
The annual ping pong tournament
at the Y. M. C. now in full swing,
is being watched with great interest.
First round matches must be played
by five o'clock Saturday afternoon or
the match will be forfeited. Claude
Pritchard, Manuel K. Koplin and
Shulhan are the favorites in this
tournament, but it i$s quite certain
that they will have a hard struggle
to carry off the prizes offered by
Jolly Clothing store, Dillon's Phar­macy,
and Uncle Billy's Barber Shop.
The first prize is a tie, donated by
Jolly, the second prize is an Ever-sharp
pencil, donated by Dillon's
Pharmacy, and Uncle Billy has of­fered
two haircuts, free of charge,
for the third prize.
The athletic director for the "Y"
states that due to the considerable
and gratifying interest shown this
year by the public, there will be an­other
tournament in the spring. Every
one is cordially invited to attend these
matches at the Y. M. C. A. ^--
FROSH WILL MEET
FOR MOCK COURT
The following freshmen will report
to a meeting of the Vigilance Com­mittee,
to be ""held at 7:30 Tuesday
night.
Rat Waugh, Rat C. Hardy, Rat
Palm, Rat Duke* Rat Parker, Rat
Richer, Rat J. B. Tucker, Rat Louis
i
Meriweather.
The Vigilance Committee announ­ces
that it would be extremely ad­visable
for the aforementioned fresh­men
to meet at the Gymnasium,
promptly at the hour mentioned.
"It's going on now, it's going on
all the time. Come over, come over",
bawled the bilious barker. And they
came and saw the greatest show on
earth. Again within a single week
latent talent has been unearthed in
the village. They came and marvel­ed
and went away with mouths agape-
At last a show had been found which
could uncompromisingly compete
with Charlie Davis' Faculty Circus
of nineteen hundred thirty.
All this began when Nat Waller
and his "horrible henchmen" were
taking the Scabbard and Blade ne­ophytes
through* their paces early
this morning. A group of the con­verted
huddled along the picket line
T.nd plotted. For years unnumbered
these sheep had been driven through
their turns in this same sane man­ner;
was another year to pass un­changing
mid this ever changing
world? To arrive at some diabolic
scheme was the aim of these men.
Can anyone deny that they achieved
their purpose? They Teached their
v.
end but not in the expected manner.
But we digress, on to new fields and
eternal humiliation for these unbe-lievers.
Place them before the eyes
.of the multitude and let them be
shamed. Strike up the band, let the
show go on!
Out they came, and as they came
they were barkingly pointed out by
the regent of bally-hoo artists. Could
these be the placid purveyors of noth­ing
animate so short a time ago? A
hula girl with all the charms and
twice the diversified movements of
the famous Gilda Grey; a snake
charmer who could have made the
sea monsters slip gladly from the
shoulders of that wise Trojan just to
listen to his charming lays; the Si­amese
twins with their cunning ways,
ach, zwei seelen und ein gedanke,
zwei herzen und ein -schlag; that in­evitable
fat-lady with her autograph­ed
photographs; another Jo-Jo the
dog-faced boy, another Madame Dido,
and still they came and still the ap­plause
grew. The perpitrators of
this entendeu annihilation departed in
silence while the erstwhile victims
mounted onto the seats of the
mighty.

after the World Series' game
has ended. It was originally
planned for the station to give a
full play-by-play account of .the
football game, but has been
changed due to the conflict with
the baseball contest.
Mr. P. O. Davis, manager of
WAPI, stated that summaries of
the game in Madison will prob­ably
be given during the base­ball
game, and definitely announ­ced
that the football broadcast
will follow immediately.
RIFLE TEAM TO
ELECT OFFICERS
A meeting will be held this morn­ing
of last years rifle team to elect
a captain for the earning year. Mem­bers

C. P. Irwin, W. H. Whittle, J. J.
Scherer, W. B. Crane, S. J. Turner,
and J. M. Reynolds.
The Auburn rifle team has this year
issued challenges to all but five of the
forty eight states. One match with
Porto Rico and one with Hawaii have
also been planned for the coming year.
Prospects for this year are exception­ally
good with a strong squad develop­ed
last session back in school.
The Auburn pistol team will be un­der
the direction of Lt. Huggins this
year and this squad also has bright
prospects for the year. Six men who
qualified as experts last year in school
are back again this session.

yesterday by Dean Frederick
C. Biggin of this school. The archi­tects
will arrive Tuesday morning and
will be met by members of the School's
faculty.
(Continued on Page 4)
Arrangements for intercollegiate
debates will be made for the Auburn
Debating Society, Prof. E. D. Hess
of the department of speech, faculty
advisor of the society, announced this
week. Negotiations are being made
for' meets with Mercer and Florida
debating teams.
He added that although the society
is new, it is taking rapid strides for­ward,
due largely to the interest that
has been shown by Auburn students
in forensics. Membership totals
twenty-two.
Officers of the society are Justin
Morrill, Mobile, president; J. D.
Brown, Ozark, vice-president; and
Miss Miriam Toulmin, Mobile, secre­tary-
treasurer.
Other members are M. H. Assadou-rin,
»Ardandouch, Armenia;. Walter
Brown, Dothan; A. C. Bryant, Stock­ton;
William Collins, Montgomery; C.
M. Cooper, Dothan; -Mack' Dinsmore,

C. Workman, Ashaland. v
A new method of arranging pro­grams
will be carried out this year.
The officers and two other members
will form a committee to select suit­able
topics for debate. This-method
should make the programs much
more interesting, Prof. Hess said.
A. T. O. Entertains
With Chicken Supper
i
Members and pledges of the Alpha
Tau Omega fraternity entertained
with al chicken barbecue last Tuesday
evening at >Wright's Mill. A number
of young ladies were present at the
affair which ended wilSi a dance at
the chapter house following the initial
event of the evening. Coffee, women
and song was the order of the night.
Loud in their praise for Blue Steele,
the decorations, and the general suc­cess
of the Sophomore Hop, general
acclaimations from the fair visitors,
are to the effect that Auburn is in
the midst of her most successful set
of opening dances. The proverbial
host of southern beauties has arrived,
and the concensus of opinion is that
they far exceed the pre-dance expec­tations.
Blue Steele's popularity is increas­ing
by the hour, and at times during
Sophomore Ball last night dancing
was stopped completely while throngs
of admirers flocked too the orchestra
stand, •'clamoring for novelty num­bers.
Many are wondeyng, as Blue
so aptly phrased it "If there is no
end to this man's cleverness."
The festivities started yesterday
afternoon with the Executive Cabi­net
Tea Dance, which continued until
six o'clock. At ten the merrymakers
re-assembled on the floor for the
Sophomore Ball. Shortly before in­termission
members of the Sopho­more
class participated in a spectu-lar
Grand March, which was led by
Miss Margaret Wood and her escort
Lon Williamson.
After the necessary pause' for
sleep the dancers were back again
under the "Big Tent"'this morning,
being entertained by the Scabbard
and Blade neophytes, who presented
a circus program as, part of their
public initiation. The "A" Club will
sponsor this afternoon's Tea Dance,
and the Farewell Ball tonight will
bring the season to a close. v
Girls were pouring into town on
every train today, and the number
here at preseent is estimated^ at one
hundred.

the girls attending this gala set of
dances.

GLOMERATA PHOTOGRAPHS
This week the editor and business mana­ger
of the Glomerata announced that they
would begin taking pictures for the 1931-32
year book. The results have been most dis­heartening,
and those in charge state that
only a small portion of the appointments
issued oh the several hundred cards sent
out have been responded too:
This throws a direct challenge to the en­tire
student body, and pui!s the question
straight to them "Do you want an annual?"
It is your school. Will you let it sink to a
lower ebb in this phase of student activity
than the most insignificant 'jerk-water'
high school? It is impossible to produce the
Glomerata unless the students have their
photographs made.
Many seem to be laboring under false im­pressions.
The Glomerata belongs to the in­dividual,
and becomes more valuable with
each succeeding year. It is not a favor to
the staff or to the college, but it is a plain
case of taking advantage of a personal op­portunity.
You are a part of the under­graduate
life, and the Glomerata is a last­ing
reflection of your present activities*:
Campus leaders must act. Students must
cooperate. The Glomerata must be pub­lished!
BIG TEN CONFERENCE
There has been much talk and quite a
bit of action recently in regard to the pro­posed
athletic organization in which ten
colleges and universities will join hands to
form a new southern conference. From all
indications, the, foot-ball schedule of the
1932 season will have a greatly altered
aspect in comparison to the numerous 'crip'
schedules- that many proclaimers of prowess
offer this season.
Desiring to insure equality among the
colleges of the South in athletics, this plan
has gained momentum since it was first
brought before a few leaders in the present
Southern Conference organization. Much
has been said concerning the subsidizing of
athletics. Little has been done throughout
the country with the exception of a ludi-cruous
report made by the leaders of the
Carnegie Foundation Fund. The South is
no exception; it has only been too slow in
adopting these processes of professionalism
and, in many schools, too poor to adopt
them. And now this group comes forward
with a laudable plan. It is entirely possi­ble
to make such a plan work, for there is
no denying that there are men in this
organization who are capable of carrying
out plans of much more difficult a nature.
If they will, at the offset, insure themselves
of enough power, power not hampered by
petty regulations, they can carry out this
task. If they do not do this before the
complete organization is a reality, the re­sult
will be no more than a farcial gesture.
CITIZENS PEACE GROUP
The lamp of pacifism glowed brighter on
the oil of misconception, when an organiza­tion
bearing the all too inclusive title, Citi­zens
Peace Group, met" in Montgomery re­cently.
This body would remove the anger
inciting uniforms from the R. O. T. C. units
and abolish compulsory drilling ;n colleges.
The search for universal peace has been
sponsored by many floundering and uni­formed
organizations, but the action of
these Montgomery citizens is the most pre­posterous
and fallacious example of fanat-"
icism that has come under our observation.
They seemingly have assumed that^l. O. T.
,/C. students are fed on raw meat, made to
see red every day, and instilled with undue
patriotism.
College boys have realized the follies and
horrors of war, and few nurse any illusion
about making the world safe for democracy.
However, there still exists a demand for na­tional
defense. We would suggest that
the Citizen's Peace Group search out the
basis of this demand if they would further
the cause of pacifism.
The plan of. our government to reduce
the standing army, build up a large organ­ized
reserve, and train its officers from the
more intelligent groups, is^one'T>f the most
progressive phases of all governmental
policies.
Do the perpetuators of this action realize
what the Reserve Officer's Training Corps
is doing for the youth of America? For
their benefit we list some of the advantages.
1. It increases ability to handle men.
2. It creates a desire for neatness in per­sonal
appearance.
3. The summer camps are most beneficial
in physical ^development.
4. The compensation involved is helping
many to complete their college education.
Through the facilities of this course stu­dents
are getting a taste of what war is
really like, and all romance and glamor is
immediately lost. Let "the Citizen's Peace
Group carry their search into the more in­tricate
workings of international affairs,
and play "hands off" with one of the great­est
factors in our educational system.
Book Review
THE BIG BARN, by Walter D. Edmonds;,
Little, Brown, $2.51).
The publication of Rome Haul—his first
book—established Walter Edmonds as "a
promising young novelist" in the opinions
of timid critics. They may safely stop
talking about his promise now. The Big
Barn is better than Rome Haul, and proves
that it was in no way a fluke. Like most
of his stories, this is a tale of rural life in
up-state New York. Through the fortunes
of a single family, dominant in its small
•community, it traces the clearing of the
land, the establishment of a feudal domain,
the dying out of the pioneer spirit in suc­ceeding
generations,' the effect of the Civil
War. In his leisurely, thorough-going-man­ner
Edmonds puts into his people—and es­pecially
into the country of which they are
a part—an earthly vitality not to be found
in our more breathless novels. It is doubt­ful
that the authors of Ex-Wife, Ex-Hus­band,
Ex-Mistress, and Ex-It, all banded to­gether,
could make the erection of the
Chrysler Building as thrilling as Edmonds
makes the building of a mammoth barn.
A SHORT HISTORY OF JULIA, by Isa Glenn;
Knopf, $2.50. ^ "
Reading of King Street, with its fragrant
gardens, its courtly, whistplaying old gentle­men,
its riotous pulse of negro blood beat­ing
below the surface, one is almost tempt­ed
to believe that existence in a mellow
Georgia town in the first years of the cen­tury
must have been a gracious and pleasant
affair. Miss Glenn, however, is too keen
a satirist not to shatter that particular il­lusion.
She shows one a miniature society
slowly perishing of dry-rot and decay. Her
heroine, Julia, lives her life in a trance. For
all her intelligence and her potentialities
of passion, she is unable to break through
the crust of a tradition which specifies
minutely the limits beyond which a lady
may not go. (Through lack of that vitality
which she dimly apprehends in the Negroes
around her, she watches a lover slip through
her hands, watches herself being sucked
into the stagnant pool which has already
claimed an older generation. This is a
very clever, if occasionally tiresome, novel.
Isa Glenn excels in picturing life as it is
actually lived, day by day, in making her
readers feel the slow, cruel flux of time.

_ Five Years Ago
As Recorded in the Pages of The Plainsman.
A handsome oil painting of Erskine Ram­say
now adorns the main^hall of the new
Erskine Ramsay Engineering Building,
which was named for him, and which was
made possible by his very liberal award of
one hundred thousand dollars toward its
erection. In honor of this great man, the
college has obtained his picture, and hung
it where it will be noticed by all who enter
the building. The portrait was painted by
•J. Binder, and is an extremely fine, work of

It was decided Tuesday by a unanimous
vote at a meeting of the Senior, Junior, and
Sophomore classes,-to send -the Auburn
Band, the best in the South, to New Orleans
for the Auburn-Tulane game. The band
will accompany the Tigers and take part
in the dedication of the new Tulane stadium.

"Bud" Baxter and "Dooley" Gilchrist
were elected assistant cheer leaders to Red
Roberts at the upperclassmen convocation
held Thursday. Baxter and Gilchrist, as
assistants to Roberts, who is known almost
as well as the Auburn Spirit, will be help­ful
in leading the student cheering sections
Preparations are be­ing
made for a special
train to leave here at
seven o'clock Satur­day
morning, October
17, for the Georgia
Tech-Auburn game in
Atlanta. The fare will
be less than one fare
for a round trip and
will be so low that I am hoping that the
J vast majority of students can take advan­tage
of it. The team and band will prob­ably
go on that train. At least I under­stand
that to be the plan. It will be much
safer and better than trying to hitch-hike
to Atlanta. If this plan is announced next
week I hope we may have no repetition of
the depressing experiences of trying to ride
freight trains and catch rides on automo­biles.
Everyone will want to go and I
think we ought to make this train a great
success. I understand the plan is to have
the train leave Atlanta at eight o'clock that
night and thus the round trip will be made
economically and without undue loss of time
and particularly will it prevent the neces­sity
of staying overnight.

The student annual publication known as
the Glomerata is one of the important
record books of our college career. Often
about the only evidence you can carry away
with you is a copy of the catalog with your
name in it and a copy of the annual. Of
course'1 the record of what you did in col­lege
remains in the Registrar's office. I re-x
member an instance where a college's rec­ords
were destroyed by fire and a student
was able afterwards to establish his credits
in college largely on the basis of a copy of
the catalog and a copy of the annual pub­lished
at that institution. The Glomerata
Board is making a very vigorous appeal to
the student body to have the proper pictures
taken and get the Glomerata started early.
The only way we can avoid these delays
which are embarrassing is to cooperate to
the fullest extent. Discounts and reduc­tions
in price are often dependent on the
Glomerata Board giving the material in on
rtone. I, therefore, want to urge upon all
new students and the upperclassmen that
they cooperate fully with these fine, earnest
fellows who are trying to make the 1932
Glomerata what it ought to be, a book which
all of us can put away and treasure with
a sense of pride. I have some old nnuals,
the covers' of which are almost worn out.
They record some of my experiences in col­lege
and though they may not mean much
to anybodys else, I would not take a great
deal for them. I have kept them carefully
for forty years.

The students may not know that the col­lege
Infirmary, located in the house former­ly
owned by Miss Glenn, is now ready for
use and had its first patient during the
past week.* Health this fall has been above
the average. I am glad to say we have a
temporary Infirmary so that students can
be better cared for than ever before in the
history of the institution. The work has
been accomplished with some difficulty, but
we are glad to have the sacrifice and pro­vide
for them in the years past. While I
am on this subject, I want to say that Au­burn
is very fortunate in having friends
and helpers on every side. I think we are
extremely lucky to have the East Alabama
Hospital and our good friends, Dr. Byron S.
Bruce and his nephew Dr. Homer S. Bruce.
They have always^shown the finest kind of
cooperation and their skill in surgery has
saved many a student's life in the time of
emergency. It is indeed fortunate for this
State Institution to have such men and
such an organization so close by.

We got up early Thursday morning and
went to Opelika to see the team off on their
great expedition to Wisconsin. The boys
all looked fine and seemed to be in excel­lent
spirits. Our hearts, hopes and ambi­tions
all go with them. A good many of us
longed to go with them. It takes a consid­erable
amount of self-denial to stick by
one's duty when there is an opportunity to
go on an expedition of that kind. I know
we will all watch for the messages regard­ing
the results with the utmost of anxiety.
In the meantime let's back up the freshmen
and help them win the game with Ogle­thorpe

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
Speaking of generous men, there is cer­tainly
one at Mississippi A. & M. The way
in which he thr6ws away money is really
alarming! He is a theatre operator, the
only one in the town, and he could get the
students trade without making the drastic
reduction in, price which he has offered to
make; but no, he must give the boys a
present once in a while. He says he will
let every member of the student body see
the Sunday show free—if the football team
will do only one tiny thing for him. They
must beat Alabama today! Such generosity
in any one man, we repeaet, is almost un­believable.
Probably Mr. Rogess will be
able to explain.
* * * *
Continuing on the theme of picture show
operators, here's a story of a pleasant di­vertissement
which the boys at the Colo­rado
School of Mines had recently. This
school, as some people in Colorado know, is
situated in the fair town of Golden, which
we are told is about the size of Auburn, if
not larger or smaller. The students (will
someone please tell us a synonym for "stu­dents"?)
publish a paper which is almost
as good as The Plainsman. In the eccen­tric
way of editors, advertising managers,
and business managers, the editorial staff
decided that the local merchants should ad­vertise
their wares in the paper. «So every
merchant in the town was visited by a
staff -member; and everybody agreed to
shout their praises for their goods through
the medium of the college paper, except one,
the theatre owner.
^'Why should" I advertise?" he asked. "I
haven't any competition. There's no other
theatre in town, so you have to come to my
show if you want to see one. It would be
a waste of money."
So the world and the paper went on.
But Saturday, Mines had a football game
with Denver University. In some inexpli­cable
manner, the boys became the victims
of an obsession to win the game. And Wed­nesday
night—the smelling salts, Francoise
—members of a certain national honorary
fraternity whose name will be withheld,
primarily because we don't know it our­selves,
paraded down the main drag of the
village, and with the aid of a material
itnown as whitewash smeared "To Hell With
Denver U." copiously upon the front of the
buildings thereon, excluding none. The
theatre owner, alone objected; and Satur­day,
the fraternity received a bill 'for ten
dollars for damage done.
Now the college paper carries in each
issue one and one-half columns of reviews
showing at theatres in Denver and Arvada,
bot hof which are nearby; and says edi­torially:
". . . it is only a short drive to
Denver where you may see first run shows
at low prices. There is also a picture house
in Arvada, only a few miles northeast of
Golden." '

Culture note:
Freshmen at Wofford are required to join
one of the literary societies on the campus
within six weeks after they matriculate. On
joining one an admittance fee of $5.00 is to
be paid. This membership must be kept up
for four years. After the freshman year,
"re-admittance fees" are 50 cents each.
Have you ever seen a cow? Here's a
scientific description of the bovine which
some of the embryo veterinarians may well
notice.
"The cow is a female quadruped with an
alto voice and a countenance in which there
is no guile. She collabbrats with the pump
in the production of a liquid called milk, pro­vides
the filler for hash, sausages and simi­lar
objects, and at last is skinned by those
she has benefitted, as mortals commonly
are.
"The young cow is called a calf and is
used in the manufacture of chicken salad,
breaded> veal and other uses of which no
further knowledge is necessary.
"The cow's tail is mounted aft and has a
universal joint. It is used to disturb mar­auding
flies, and the tassel on the end has
unique educational value. Persons who come
in contact with the tassel have vocabularies
of peculiar and impressive force.
"The cow has no upper plate. All of her
teeth are parked in the lower part of her
fage. This arrangement was perfected by
an efficiency expert to ieep her from gum­ming
.things up. As a result, she bites up
and gums down."—Rock Island Angus.

"Rays of Sunshine", in the Wofford "Old
Gold and Black pens the following inspiring
words:
"If you have some enemies you are to be
congratulated, for no man ever amounted
to much without arousing pealousies and
creating enemies. Your enemies are a very
valuable asset as long as you refrain from
striking back at them, because they keep
you on the alert when you might otherwise
become lazy."
That concludes the Sunday school lesson
for today, dear children. Be real nice dur­ing
the week now and teacher may improve
your souls again next time.
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.
ASSUMING that a newspaper colum­nist
is a person capable of making
constructive criticisms, it is often
very hard for him, in performing his duties,
not to become a cynic. In order to guard
against this type of degeneration most col­umnists
take a day off and try to tell some
of the good qualities of several organiza­tions
or persons that they have been criti­cizing.
In order to prove to himself that
there are a few things about Auburn that
need complimenting, Conscientious Cletus
has decided to change the policy of his
column for at least one week. The fact
still remains, however, that Browning was
a fool when he said "God's in His heaven,
all's right with the world".
The Auburn Vigilance Committee has
done several worthwhile and constructive
things since its organization several weeks
ago. The first thing that the committee
should be congratulated on is its activities
in keeping certain bull rats from express­ing
their self appointed importance in such
a way as to become both unnecessary and
distasteful. It seems to take a bull- rat a
longer time to become a real Auburn man
than it does a freshman who started to
Auburn at the first of his college career,
and the Vigilance Committee has done a
service to the institution when it has im­pressed
this fact on several of the transfers
from other institutions. It is true, how­ever,
that this applies to only a few bull
rats at Auburn, and no deductions can be
drawn that all are of this type.
The good sense that the Vigilance Com­mittee
used in handling the freshman who
painted the "35" on the water tank several
weeks ago is very outstanding. We need
more men- who would conduct themselves
like that particular freshman did, not in
painting the tank but in coming clean about
the whole matter after it was done, and the
Vigilance Committee is certainly to be con­gratulated
on realizing this fact.
* * * *
During a financial depression like the
one we are passing through at the present
it is extremely hard for the administration
of any institution to keep things running
smoothly, and it is even harder when condi-tions
are such that the institution is forced
to play a dual role, that of both creditor
and debtor. Financially speaking, Auburn
has been and still is in a critical condition,
judging from the irregularity with which
the professors have been paid, but even in
the face of this difficulty the administration
has done everything in its power to help
students stay in school. Naturally it is an
advantage to have as many students as pos­sible
in school, but regardless of this fact
it has taken a sacrifice to continue Auburn's
program of help. It has not only been con­tinued
but greatly enlarged this year. The
administration and all concerned are cer­tainly
to be commended for this most worth
while program.
* * * *
Little has been said of the co-eds in this
column but may we state some compliments
for the fairer sex. On the campus this
year we not only have the beautiful but
dumb variety of co-ed but some who can cor­rectly
interpret a joke after having heard
it for the third time. Some day Dear Ole
Ramsey may reecho to "Dearie, don't you
think the boys are a bit more numerous on
the campus this year. I hear there are al­most
two hundred of them." (may the Dear
Lord prohibit the day). However, enough
of this "someday soliloquizing" and let us
return to serious thought once more.
Have you ever closely watched a mob at
pep meeting? Mob psychology is one of the
most of the most interesting of the. various
branches of this study. One who can at
his command cause seven or eight hundred
students to express sentiments of rivalry
and loyalty in one minute and love or hate
the next, surely has some power. There are
few men in this intsitution who have not
felt something tugging at the heartstrings
when the cheerleaders have spoken of love
for Auburn. We can not fully explain such
sentiments, as we do not love any one of
the many things that go to make up Au­burn
as we think of it. <"'
It is well that we have an organization
to recognize the athletes so that the race
may not become-(someday) pygmies with
large heads and no muscles. Some one has
said that with the advancement of the hu­man
race we become smaller and weaker
in body and greater in mind. Say not this
of Auburn for the reverse may be true.
And thus Conscientious Cletus, the ami-able
agreeable optimist brings to a close this
dissertation on all that is good and fine
here on this, the lovliest village of the
plains. Who knows but there may be a
time when everything is good and fine and
then we may say, "Cletus, your work is
done."

Tigers Entertained
With Luncheon at
Chicago on Friday
The Auburn football team was en­tertained
with a luncheon during
their stop-over in Chicago by Tom
Nash, prominent Chicago attorney,
of whose law firm Coach Kiley is a
member. Mr. Nash is also a very
dear friend of Coach Wynne.
The noon meal was attended by
Donie Bush, manager of the Chicago
White Sox; Charlie O'Leary, coach
of the Chicago Cubs, the city clerk,
the city treasurer,, and close to 50 of
the leading jurists in Chicago. It
was an affair that put the Plainsmen
in a good frame of mind for the tilt
with Glenn Thistlewiate's gigantic
eleven.
Coach^ Wynne sent his charges
through a short calesthenic drill,
punting and passing session and con­cluded
the light practice in beautiful
Loyola Stadium with 15 minutes of
signal work. Allen Rogers and Jim-mie
Hitchcock looked good kicking
to Davidson, Parker, et al, and Port­er
Grant was a stellar performer in
snagging passes in Friday's workout.
Blackboard instruction was given
the players on the train Thursday.
Saturday's battle with* Wisconsin
will be Auburn's second game of the
season and her sixth intersectional
clash, having previously met Haskell
Indians, Marquette, Ohio State and
Army twice in intersectional battles.
The Plainsmen have won one of these
games, one ending in a tie, and the
other three resulting in Alabama Poly
coming out on the short end of the
score.
It looks like another defeat will be
received in Madison as Coach This-i
tlewaite has a strong and mountain­ous
team that is liable to be one of
the surprises in the Big Ten this
year.
Auburn Team Arrives in Madison; Ready for Battle Today
Harriers To Work
For Opening Meet
Candidates for Auburn's cross coun­try
team continue to work out daily
and from all indications the team this
year will be one of the strongest ever
to represent the school. Seven ex­perienced
men from last season's un­defeated
team are back and this num­ber
will be augmented by three sopho­mores
who should strengthen the team
considerably.
The first dual meet of the season" is
scheduled for October 23, when the
Georgia distance runners will be .en­countered
in a three mile affair. The
Bulldog runners were defeated rather
easily last year and Coach Hutsell's
crew is expected to repeat this sea­son.
The first try-out will be held
this Thursday to determine the lineup
of the team that will run in the
Georgia meet.
Joe Plant, Clarence Roberts and
Huff are the three senior members
of the team and are almost certain
point getters. The other experienced
"men who will make strong bids for
places are the McQueen brothers,
Kaley and Murphee, while the ex-frosh
who are expected to perform are
Kyser, Kapps and Johnson.
While the cross country runners are
toiling, the "members of the track
squad are by no means idle. Percy
Beard, Auburn's hurdling champ, is
directing the track candidates, both
varsity and freshmen, every afternoon
on Drake Field. Although the track
team will not face active competition
until next Spring, year round activity
is required to keep the harriers in
condition.
Captain Jeff Beard, who throws the
discus and runs both the high and low
hurdles, heads the impressive array of
track talent that is reporting daily.
Jack Stewart, Southern Conference
high jump champion, is looking good
in the early workout's and should shat­ter
his own record this year. The
sprint department has been fortified
by the addition of Eidson, a well built
athlete from Arkansas, who does both
of the dashes in unusually good time.
Other experienced sprinters who are
reporting are Creighton, O'Hara and
Ellis. The latter two are talented
along similar lines as both are good
broad jump men. Richey, high jump­er,
and Killibrew, hurdler, are expect­ed
to prove valuable additions to the
team. K
A large squad of freshmen are
working under the guidance of Coach
Beard and they will take part in sev­eral
dual meets this season.

Much is Expected of These Two Tigers in Intersection^ Game This Afternoon
Tom Brown, Auburn's plunging
fullback, will start against the Wis­consin
Badgers this afternoon and is
expected to be a power house in the
Tigers' attack. Although small for a
fullback, "Sleepy" runs with enough
drive and tackles viciously enough
when on the defense, to make up for
his lack of size and he should give the
Badgers plenty of trouble today.
PIPE MAKER SUGGESTS
METHOD FOR SMOKERS
TO BREAK IN NEW PIPE
Cleveland, Ohio—(IP)—You col­lege
boys who have a tough time
breaking in your new pjpes, give
thanks to Pipe Maker John Bessai, of
this man's city, and try out his recipe
for taking away that taste of var­nish.
Here it is:
Mix up a solution of one-half tea­spoon
of salt in one-eighth glass of
water. Fill up the bowl of the pipe
with the solution. If it's a straight
stem job, hold your finger over the
mouthpiece, if it is a curved stem,
prop it up against something.
Let it stand not longer than ten
minutes. Then shake out the water,
fill up with tobacco and smoke at
once, naturally. The salt crystallizes
and forms a crust through which the
taste of the wood cannot penetrate.
There are, whether you know it or
not, two types of pipe smokers, hot
smokers and cold smokers. The latter
have at least four pipes, and smoke
each one not longer than three days
in succession. Then the pipe goes
up to dry, and a fresh one is taken
down. A pipe is never allowed to dry
without cleaning. Thus a pipe gets
a good week's rest between smokes.
Girls? We'd rather see you smoke
your cigarets.

gathered at the'Union Station in Bir­mingham,
where a brief stop was
made, to give the Tigers a send-off.

FOREIGNER HALFBACK
AT TEMPLE UNIVERSITY
Philadelphia—(IP)—John Driebe
of Scranton, candidate for, halfback
on the Temple University team this
year, never saw a football until eight
years ago when he first came to this
country with his family from Syria.
Driebe was a star high school player,
showing his heels to many an Ameri­can-
born player who had been brought
up with the game.
. . no bamboozlin about that!"
WJURE! When»a word fits, you know it!
"Satisfy" just fits CHESTERFIELD. A smoker
picks up a package, and he likes its neat appear­ance
— no heavy inks or odors from ink. That
satisfies him. ^
Then he examines a Chesterfield. It is well-filled;
it is neat in appearance; the paper is pure
white. And that satisfies him.
He lights up. At the very first puff he likes
the flavor and the rich aroma. He decides that
it tastes better—neither raw nor over-sweet; just
/
pleasing and satisfying.
Then he learns it is milder. That's another
way of saying that there is nothing irritating
about it. And again he's satisfied!
Satisfy — they've got to satisfy! The right to­baccos,
the CHESTERFIELD kind, cured and
aged, blended and cross-blended, to a taste that's
right. Everything that goes into CHESTER­FIELD
is the best that money can buy and (that
science knows about. CHESTERFIELDS do a
complete job of it. They Satisfy!

Princeton Players
Suspended for Spree
Princeton, N. jA(IP)—Students at
Princeton University this week, are
still awaiting word as to whether riye
varsity football men are suspended
for the year or only a week.
The five got in trouble one hot day
last week after football practice when
they journied to a 'Trenton, N. J.,
beer joint, and were there caught in
the act by a member of the coaching
staff.
Princeton's training rules are strict.
The five admitted their guilt and turn­ed
in their football suits. No one
knew how long their punishment would
last.

Fire Prevention Week
To Be October 5 to 10
President Herbert Hoover has join­ed
the ranks of those who are fight­ing
the monster fire demon that laid
waste to $500,000,000 worth of prop­erty
in 1930. He designated the week
of' October 5" to 10 as a period in
which a concerted attack "was made
upon fire prevention.
The 1930 fire l*ss of $500,000,000
was an increase of $40,000,000 over
1929. "Consequently," said Lyle
Brown, extension forester at Auburn,
"the friends of the movement must
put forth greater effort to hold it
in check and they must exert a much
greater effort to make a substantial
reduction."
Farm fire losses totaled fully $100,-
000,000 or about one-fifth of the an­nual
total, said Mr. Brown^ This in­cluded
buildings and other farm fires.
Losses due to burning woods repre­sented
an enormous total.
This loss of $100,000,000 represent­ed
more than $30,000 per county for
farm fires only. It represented more
than five times this amount for all
fires.
"Precaution with fires," continued
Mr. Brown, "will prevent many de­structive
fires. Buildings need to be
arranged with a view to fire preven­tion
and control. Matches should be
handled carefully and every precau­tion
exercised with a view to prevent­ing
fires. Once they are started they
are difficult to stop. It is the little
fire that grows into a big fire."
The 'United States Department of
Agriculture has published a bulletin
entitled "Firf Safeguards for the
Farm." It is No-. 1643 and copies will
be mailed upon request.
Perish with him the folly that seeks
through evil good.—Whittier. .

JUST WHAT IS HE
TRYING TO SAY? —-v ,
New York—OIP)—Many a peda­gogue
has spoken or written of what
he believes to be a^ solution, or partial
solution, to the admitted dilema in
which Twentieth Century education
finds itself.
Gamaliel Bradford is a biographer.
Writing in the Book Review Magazine
of the New York Times recently, said
he:
"In this educatioual chaos there is
one possible clue which, it seems to
me, may afford a certain amount of
help. I mean the clue of biography
. . In spite of . . . manifest insuf­ficiencies,
biography has more than
any other study the immense advan­tage
of affording a patural link be­tween
the otherwise widely scattering
and mutually repellent divergencies of
developing knowledge. For us hu­man
beings all that makes the value
of knowledge, all that makes know­ledge,
all that makes the universe, is
simply the human being. Now biogra­phy
is the study of human beings,
what they have been, what they are,
what they may be and, above all, what
they can do.
"It is biography that binds'together
all the varied branches of thought and
life. Plato and Kant make philosophy,
and they are human. Copernicus,
Newton, Darwin make" science, and
they are human. If you want to in­terest
your pupils in all these varied
aspects of study and research, take
them right to the human element . . .
When you have interested them in. the
common, eternal human element, which
works today as it has always worked,
you will find that philosophy and
science and history have acquired a
n *"•
new meaning.
Bradford then pointed to the work
started by Professor Ambrose White
Vernon, who established at Carleton
College, Northfield, Minn., the first
known course in biography,* and con­tinued
the work when called to Dart­mouth
to establish a similar course.
Professor Wedel is continuing the
work at Carleton, he said, and Pro­fessor
Cabot at Harvard, Professor
Metcalf at Virginia, Professor Mar-lett
at Boston University, and others,
are giving similar instruction.
"I believe, however," he continued,
"that the work may be carried much
further. The collegiate teaching of
biography is excellent and is naturally
capable of developments that could not
be attempted at a more elementary
stage. But there is ho reason why
biography should not be made an im­portant
feature in the curricula of
the secondary schools down to the ju­nior
high and perhaps even lower . . .
"It is not a cold, bare, -remote"-study
of strange creatures and impossible
events. It is just a history of human
nature . . . In short, biography is
the autobiography of humanity, and
if so, can there be any study of great­er
educational value and utility?"

<Yv>' NOT E S
Beginning with this issue of The
Plainsman, the Y. M. C. A. is to con­tribute
a column each Saturday. Thru
this medium we will present the "Y"
in its different phases of work and
give to the students an idea of the real
meaning of our organization. We
hope that these articles will prove of
interest and be of help to the read­ers.
We appreciate very much this
courtesy which the staff of The
Plainsman has extended to us.
y
The origin and character of the
Young Men's Christian Association
can be traced directly to the life of a
young man—George Williams. Wil­liams
left the farm of his father's in
a small English village when he was
only twenty years old and went into
London to seek his fortune. His am­bition
was to become a business man.
He secured employment in a drapers
establishment, the firm of Hitchcock
and Rogers. Young Williams was a
devout Christian and it was said that
any man working for the firm could
not do so and remain a follower of
Christ. On either side of the estab­lishment
were disreputable houses.
When he began work, Williams sought
diligently for others connected with
the business whose interest could be
secured in living a more wholesome
life.
On June 6, 1844, three years after
George Williams had begun work, he
met with a small group, twelve in all,
of like minded young men in an upper
chamber of the drapers warehouse.
These men consecrated themselves to
the task of establishing in their, firm
a spirit of religion, of love, of prayer,
and of service. They called this group
The Young Men's Christian Associa­tion".
Similar groups were formed
by young men of other business
houses throughout the city.
The organization was introduced
into this country a decade later. Mon­treal
and later Boston saw the forma­tion
of Y. M. C. A.'s. Since its be­ginning
less than a century ago the
Young Men's Christian Association
s grown tremendously. Today there
are eight thousand branches in forty-six
different countries. In the United
States the property value alone is
overytwo hundred million dollars, and
the employed staff members approxi­mately
six thousand.
Perhaps the phase of wo»k that has
seen the greatest growth is the work
the Associations have carried on thru
their junior organizations known as
Hi-Y Clubs. Practically every High
School in the country has one of these
clubs. Another important service
rendered the youth of the country has
come thru the Y. M. C. A.'s furnish­ing
facilities and leadership for na­tural
boy's gangs found in the larger
cities. These "gangs" go to the "Y"
for their weekly meetings, use the 'y'
swimming pool, its club rooms; li­brary
and other facilities, in a whole­some
Christian atmosphere.

FAMOUS SCIENTIST
DIES IN CALIFORNIA
Stanford University, Cal—(IP)—
Dr. David Starr Jordan, 80, chancel­lor
emeritus of Stanford University,
scientist and leader for world peace,
dier here Sept. 19. «.
Sand the New York Nation of his
death:
"A brave, farsighted and noble cit­izen,
a great college president was
David Starr Jordan, whose death in
the fullnes of years has been reported.
The cause of peace in the United
States had no more devoted advocate
in season and out of season. When
the folly and the madness of the war
lust were upon us in 1916-17, Dr.
Jordon faced calumny and abuse with
calmnes and unfailing courage. He
was tried but not found wanting, and
unlike the many pre-war pacifists
of the type of Nicholas Murray But­ler,
he refused to compromise or to
recede in any way from his position
that war was the crime of crimes.
Indeed, it is heartening to record that
this admirable patriot and great
scientist and educator declared in his
last utterance that 'all war is murder,
robbery, and virility. War knows no
victor.' He was the author of many
volumes, seven of which were given
to the cause of peace. His autobiog­raphy
of his well-lived years he called
'The Days of a Man.' He was one
of the great group of college presi­dents,'
including such men as Eliot
of Harvard,' Angell of Michigan, and
Van Hise of Wisconsin, who not only
advanced education and educational
methods, but were inspiring citizens
and leaders of public opinion as well."

Depression To Help
College Enrollment
Cleveland, Ohio—(IP)—American
educational leaders this year predicted
before the opening of colleges and
universities that the depression would
tend to increase the number of stu­dents
attending higher educational in­stitutions
in the large cities, and to
slightly reduce the number attend­ing
colleges and universities in the
smaller towns.
The reason given for this predic­tion
was the fact that many students
hitherto attending small colleges
away from home, would remain at
home in the city and attend colleges
there, where they could attend classes
and still remain at home to eat and
sleep, thus cutting down the expenses.
Shortly after the school year open­ed
it appeared that in general the
prediction was accurate.
A. S. M. E. BEGINS
ANOTHER SEASON
Amid the smoke of Camels and
ten-cent stogies, the A. S. M. E.

smoker which was featured by an
entertaining program. Interesting
talk's were made by J.. C. Barrett,
chairman of the society, and Walter
Mullin, secretary-treasurer, outlin­ing
the work of the A. S. M. E. and
discussing plans for coming pro­grams.
Dean Wilmore gave a very en­lightening
discussion on the advant­ages
of the society's membership to
the student. Professors Hixon, Dix­on,
and Elizondo were called upon,
and made brief speeches, pledging
their support in making the programs
of the Society interesting and help­ful.
