Many New Courses To
Be Offered In Summer
Prospects for the Summer Session
Are Very Good, Says
Dean Judd, Director
An increased number of courses
will be offered at the 1932 Summer
Session at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute which begins on Monday,
June 6, it was announced by Dean
Zebulon Judd, director of the summer
school. In addition to the enlarged
curricula, a faculty larger
than ;ever before has been engaged.
The session will consist of two
terms. The first will begin June 6
and continue until July 15, and the
second will take place from July 18
through August 20. Degrees earned
during both terms will be awarded at
commencement exercises Friday, August
19.
"Prospects for the summer are
very good," Dean Judd said, "and a
greater number of inquiries have
been received from other states,
especially Georgia, South Carolina,
Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Pennsylvania,
New York, Arkansas, Texas,
and the District of Columbia. Many
college students have been among
those making inquiries.
"A bulletin containing information
relative to the summer school will be
off the press this week," he added,
"and there will be no general distribution,
as copies will be sent only to
those requesting them."
The summer session has become
largely characterized by the presence
of graduate students.

APPROPRIATION BILL OF WAR
DEFT. OPPOSED BY DR. KNAPP
Dr. Bradford Knapp declared today
his opposition to the proposals in the
war department Appropriation Bill
now before congress to take from
educational institutions where R. 0.
T. C. work is being conducted the
authority to determine whether or
not these courses shall be required
or elective.
If the proposed bill becomes a law
with this provision included "it will
be a pacifist's victory," he said in a
letter to all institutions maintaining
R. O. T. C. Units in the Fourth
Corps Area.
"It is undemocratic in the extreme",
Dr. Knapp added, "and the
right to decide what is required and
what is not required in a course of
study, it seems to me, belongs to
each institution or to the state and
not to the Federal Government.
There is no demand in our institution
of any character whatever to
make military an elective subject. It
is felt that the present status of R.
O. T. C. instruction should not be
impaired through any form of reduction."
The bill referred to by President
Knapp has been approved by the appropriations
committee of the House
of Representatives. Among other
things it proposes to suspend for the
summer of 1932 all R. O. T. C. summer
camps; the rate of pay for reserved
officers in summer camp will
be reduced from the regular officers
pay to an allowance of $1.00 per day
for subsistence.
The bill proposes also the retirement
from active duty of 2,000 of
the 12,000 regular army officers.
They would be retired with three-quarters
pay by September, 1932.
Each grade and each division of the
regular army would be affected by
it. Considerable curtailment of officers
assigned to R. O. T. C. units,
national guards, and organized reserves
would follow. The Auburn
R. O. T. C. staff, for example, would
be reduced.
The bill prohibits further enrollment
in Air Corps, Medical Corps,
Dental Corps, and Veterinary Units
of the R. O. T. C. It prevents the
issuance of necessary equipment with
which to carry on military training
in what is known as the "55c
Schools" of which there are at present
53.

Jordan Wins Porter
Cup; Prominent Many
Fields Of Athletics
Basketball, Football and Baseball
Star Is Awarded High
Athletic Honor
Ralph "Lefty" Jordan, captain of
Auburn's 1931 cagers, a letterman in
football, and a senior in education,
has been awarded the Porter Loving
Cup, emblematic of the most outstanding
athlete at Auburn. The
award was made by the "A" Club at
its last meeting.
Jordan was a three letter wearer
at high school, Selma, and while a
freshman here was a member of the
football, basketball, and baseball
squads.
After his plebe year he gave most
of his time to football and basketball,
having been elected captain of the
latter while he was a junior, a rarely
achieved distinction. He concluded
four years of superb work on the
gridiron last fall playing center for
the.Tigers. Jordan is also a member
of Auburn's pitching aces this spring.
While his performances on the gridiron
were not starry, Jordan was a
consistent player who could be counted
on to do more than hTs share in
every game. His play at forward on
the basketball team marked him as
one of the Conferences best. The fact
that he was captain of the team in
his junior year signifies that his
playing was stellar.

New Rules Governing
Grades Are Installed
The following are new rules, effective
1932-33, governing grades and
examinations at Auburn:
(1) That the system of quality
points be abolished.
(2) That 70 constitute the passing
grade in all subjects, and 60-
69 conditioned grades. Less than
60 shall constitute a failure and
require the student to repeat the
course in class.
(3) That conditional examinations
be held only at one stated
period each semester, approximately
four weeks after registration
and that the date be determined
and published in the college
calendar.
.(4) That failure to take and
pass the conditional examination,
or the regular semester examination
in the conditioned subject,
within one residence year of making
the condition, shall constitute
a failure and require the student
to repeat the subject in class.
(5) That "incomplete" be given
when the quality of the work
done has been of passing grade,
but the student has been prevented
by illness or other justifiable
causes from completing all work
required. An incomplete not
made up within one residence
year of the time it is incurred,
shall constitute a failure,, as in

Second Year; "Ripper" Williams'
Pitching Feature
Atlanta, Ga., May 13—Pitching
hitless ball the first five innings and
allowing only four singles and a
double the rest of the game, Ripper
Williams, Auburn's mighty sophomore,
hurled the .Tigers to their second
Dixie League championship here
Friday. Behind Williams superb
hurling, the Plainsmen touched Capt.
Charlie Mitchell, Oglethorpe ace for
a quartet of singles, two two-baggers
and a triple in winning the pennant,
3 to 1.
In being crowned rulers of the
Dixie League for the second successive
year, Coach Sam McAllister's
champs. trounced Mitchell for the
fourth straight time. Oglethorpe for
the third consecutive time and won
their sixth successive victory.
Williams pitched a smart game and
pulled out of several holes when a
hit probably would have caused his
downfall. The five safeties collected
by the losers were distributed to
as many Oglethorpe players. Williams
is the leading moundsman in
the college loop with five triumphs
and one loss.

scholastic ties to take their places in
various professions for which they
prepared at Auburn.
Two musical events round out
Sunday.'s commencement features.
The Auburn Band, under direction

Plainsman Shift Is
Ratified By Cabinet
Knox McMillan Will Be Editor-in-
Chief, and Greer Business
Manager for 1932-33
In its regular meeting Tuesday
night the Executive Cabinet of the
Students' Undergraduate Association
formally ratified the shift of duties
proposed by the Editor-elect and
Business-Manager-elect of The Plainsman.
In this exchange of duties Knox
M. McMillan will be Editor-in-chief
and Robert P. Greer will be Business-
Manager of The Plainsman for
the 1932-33 session; there was no
apparent opposition to the proposal
of the newly elected officers, and the
move was wholly approved by the
Executive Cabinet. Since the two
heads of The Plainsman will now
occupy positions more in harmony
with their respective talents, it is
thought that this shift will work for
the best possible paper next year.

A DISCORDANT SWAN SONG
When I became editor of The Plainsman
the country was dry, economists heralded
the greatest depression in years, Auburn
boys chewed tobacco, and all college editors
were alleged to possess numerous asinine
qualities; and, in so far as I am able to
determine, the same conditions still exist.
This being true it is correct to conjecture
that the paper has not been a success, as
my last edition takes its place along with
fifty-six other journalistic outrages.
As I glance back through the files with
maternal love for each of those ink-stained
sheets I am reminded of the boquets and
thorns received from each. Somehow the
thorns have ceased to prick; and the boquets,
for there have been such, bust forth
in new fragrance, to cheer the hearts of
the departing staff. Now my eyes rest on
that devatating sheet of January 27th, and
I am reminded much confusion and bitter
words. It has been a glorious experience,
full of the intriguing events which the
realm of journalism holds. -
To my staff, the Department of Public
information, and the student body I am indebted
for a cooperation that should have
warmed/the heart of any struggling editor.
The editorship is passed on now to other
hands, and it is my sincere hope that the
publication will rise to the heights that I
ortce entertained in my fondest dreams.
—THE EDITOR.
CONGRATULATIONS GLOMERATA
STAFF
The Plainsman wishes to take this opportunity
to congratulate the Glomerata
staff and its chiefs on the wonderful annual
which their hard work has produced.
The new book is especially to be praised
for its originality and individuality, being
quite a change from the ordnary run of
year-books that Auburn has turned out
during the last four or five years. The
Editor and Business Manager are further
to be congratulated for their untiring industry
in publishing the annual on schedule
time and for their contributions of
labor and ingenuity in making this, the
1932 Glomerata one of the best works of
its kind that has yet been published in Auburn.

ARE AUBURN MEN CULTURED?
The American business man has long
suffered criticism at the hands of cultivated
writers who deplore his poverty of culture,
his rather unexciting background, and
his distaste for the purely intellectual. Most
of this criticism is found in the exclusive
. magazines, but our Rabbit's do not read
these periodicals, as they bore him, further
evidence that he needs cultivation. This
criticism should not be confined solely to
business men; it might well be directed at
the professions and vocations as well.
Culture is indeed wanting among Au-bu?
rn graduates; most of them are familiar
with one field of work, and all that
pertains to the intellectual is to them of
little use. But our hard-boiled engineer
asks, "Of what use is culture?" And should
we attempt to explain he would merely
laugh, further indicating that he does not
know anything.-
At this particular time of the year we
all think of what we are getting out of
college; and those who have become more
cultivated look back on their undergraduate
days with a feeling of satisfaction. Those
who have become more cultured since their
freshman year will appreciate the value of
this excerpt from the Montgomery Advertiser:
"In our world a man should know
something except the requirements of
his job. This would make him more interesting
to others, it would vastly
stimulate his own'interest and pleasure
in living, it would broden his general
understanding, and finally, and not of
least importance, it would make him a
more effective and trustworthy citizen.
There isn't a man. .in any vocation,
who has natural sense, who would not
be a more thoughtful and useful man'
if he knew some authentic history,
something of the generalizations, if not,
the details, of modern,science, something
of philosophy—that is to say,
good thought—and something of the
better fiction. Any man who loves
reading can find an hour a day to devote
to it.
"Men of natural sense ought to make
it a point to discover the world in which
they live and struggle and suffer. They
ought to be prepared to do intelligent
thinking. And no man is prepared for
intelligent thinking who does not know
much."
GRADUATES
This is indeed a sad time of the year. In
the fall of 1927 five hundred freshman assembled
at the Main Building to start their
college careers. They were guileless souls
for the most part, and they had little idea
of what lay before them. Now approximately
half of those five hundred men are
preparing 'to leave Auburn forever. They
know what college is; they know whether
their four-year stay here has been worthwhile
or not; but most of them do not
know what they are going to do.
Some of the seniors have devoted their
college careers almost entirely to extracurricular
activities, and they are scarcely
familiar with the scholastic side of college
life; others have spent almost all their
time in the classroom and laboratory, and
they know almost nothing of student activities;
and some others have divided their
time between the classroom and the campus,
and it is they who have gotten the
most out of their stay here.
Life out of college will tell which of the
above groups spent their time most wisely,
but it is our opinion that the last-named
group will be the most successful, as they
have acquired culture as well as a knowledge
of men, knowledge as well as as pleasure,
and when they cope with the world they
can meet every situation with assurance
and confidence in themselves.

Organized crime has achieved its latest
outrage in the murder of the Lindberg
baby, and in this atrocious act it struck
the American people and * their government
an insulting blow. The people of this
country have let criminals have their way,
overlooking crime with true nineteenth century
philistinism. And the country today
is run by criminals, racketeers, and bootleggers.
And the death of a little child is
the fruit of their government. And we
ask, what are the American people coming
too?
We believe that the answer to this question
is in Soviet Russia^ or better still, the
jungles of Africa. American civilization
is now coming out in its true colors, and
what the result wll be "is not pleasant to
think of. But does old Idle Em's care?

It is with downcast' countenance and
heavy heart that our scribe now bows himself
off the scene. Three months will elapse

and who knows what three months will

Conducting this idle column has been a
great source of pleasure to the writer this
year. He has not discussed issues from any
serious-minded standpoint; he is one of
those souls who have lived long enough to
know not to take anything seriously. After
all, life is just a bowl of cherries—just
a bowl' of cherries. However, next year we
shall reappear in many places ;*the hand
of old Idle Em's will be found everywhere
throughout the paper. Perhaps when
school opens we will have become serious-minded
and philosophic, and should we become
a columnist with/knitted brows it is
to be hoped that the public will laugh at
us even more heartily till we regain our
smiling disposition. •

There is a sense of
satisfaction in having done a piece of work
and finished it satisfactorily. On the other
hand the end of a college session means
the breaking of ties, changes of relationships,
new tasks on ahead, the commencement
of new things. Had it not been for
the financial difficulties under which we
have rested throughout this entire session,
I feel that we might look back over it and
feel that much progress has been made. All
the oppressed feeling we have had has
grown out of this financial situation. If the
State of Alabama could pay this institution
its past due appropriations to which it
is legally and morally entitled under the
laws of the State of Alabama, every obligation
of the institution of every character
could be discharged to the fullest extent.
* * * *
I hope the student body realizes as I do
under what a strain the faculty of the institution
has labored in the present year.
It takes a lot of faith, a tremendous amount
of loyalty, cooperation and courage to go
forward and maintain the school and do the
work which has to be done in classroom
and laboratory and office without cash compensation.
The staff has had to live on
credit. Many of them have had to sacrifice
savings, even life insurance, and some
have stood in sore danger of losing even
their homes. If the true story of the wonderful
fortitude on the part of this staff
could be written, I believe it would be one
of the most wonderful commentaries on
real Auburn Spirit to be found anywhere.
When it is all over I believe that the friends
of Auburn will owe to this staff a debt of
gratitude which I am sure they can never
repay.
* * * *
Another word ought to be said and that
is about the business men herein Auburn.
It has scarcely seemed possible that they
could carry us as far as they have. They
realize fully that the college is the very
foundation and life of the town of Auburn;
that without the college there would be
almost nothing here. And so they have
taken every financial risk and jeopardized
their own business and borrowed to the
full limit of their own power to help the
college and the community to carry on until
we shall get relief. The college administration
has tried in every way to help the
whole situation. Decisions are hard to make
but they have to be made and have always
been made with a feeling of kindliness and
the hope that people would understand that
we are doing our best to sustain and uphold
the institution in it's work.
* * * * •
I ought not to say anything now to encourage
the graduating class because it is
our custom always to say a few words to
them before diplomas are delivered on Tuesday.
It is a fine class and there are many
men and women in it whom we shall miss.
I know that all of them will be going out
into a world of trouble and distress. The
tasks xthat are just ahead will be a supreme
test of character, of faith, of ability and
particularly of training. We must not fail
to show the finest qualities there are in
us. I like the sentiment of an old quotation
and it is the best wish I could give to
the graduating class: "We go forth into
the world not knowing what trials may
await us in the journey of life. Let us
not be dismayed for our Heavenly Father
has promised to strengthen and uphold us
with the right hand of his power."
* * * *
What of next year? If we can only solve
this financial problem in some way, next
year will come and this institution will
move forward to perform its great service
to the state in all of its divisions, undaunted
by world conditions and unafraid to face
difficulties. I cannot believe that the State
of Alabama will attempt to adjust its situation
-by saddling all the burden upon the
teachers oif Alabama. I believe there is a
way through the maze of these difficulties
by the exercise of real statesmanship which
will save the self-sacrificing teaching profession
of Alabama from such a calamity
as stares us in the face. Even at Auburn
fully one-fourth of all the salaries paid are
to persons receiving from $2,000 per annum
down to $500 per annum. And then another
thing, the salaries at this institution
were never raised at the beginning of the
high cost of living in 1916 to 1918 and the
faculty of this-institution" had to suffer
under salaries far below the range of salaries
elsewhere until 1927. Even at the
present time the range of salaries here is
distinctly below that of similar institutions
in other states. The last thing I
would want to see done is the serious and

"Annual Sap Call Lures Thousands in New England", says headline. And in
Auburn too, if we are a judge of character.
Another editorial from abroad. (Mail all
complaints to the Birmingham-Southern
Gold and Black.)
MUD SLINGING
"In the turmoil of the several different
political campaigns during the
last two weeks, there has arisen among
the alignments of various orders several
persons guilty of mud slinging.
During the general election it was evident
most, presumably because of the
fact that more persons were concerned.
Another reason lies in the fact the unfair
position in which the political situation
is placed. The number of elections,
of which there has been no less
than four during the last two weeks,
has undoubtedly tended to fan the fire
of hatred and dislike kindled by previous
elections.
"An incident, regrettable from the
start, found its way into the columns
of the daily press last week. The situation
was placed in an untrue background
with sentiments expressed of a
nature not altogether as they really
were. The columns of the paper printed
lines that were true, but their ex-pressio
nwas one of regret.
"Such happenings are not characteristic
of any university's spirit. It is
sidered that this school is for the development
of character and for the
growth and application of clear think-ruinous
curtailment of salaries at this institution
at this time which would bring
about the loss of the most valuable men
who have devoted their life to the work
here.
Nevertheless we have said courageously
.that we hope the legislature is broad enough
and big enough to meet this situation
and do its best to maintain the schools arid
educational institutions of Alabama, and
when, in their wisdom and statesmanship,
they have set the pace there will be nothing
else for us to do but to accomodate ourselves
to the situation. We hope what is
done will not be done out of prejudice and
shortsightedness but out of faith and confidence
in the future. Somehow and in
some way this institution is going to carry
on. We are praying that the light will
come and shall fight to the bitter end to
keep this institution performing the service
and doing the work which we feel is its
destiny for this, state and for the whole
South. To the friends of Auburn we would
say, fight on with us. Let us not be dismayed-
but by unity of purpose, breadth of
mind and devoted loyalty seek together to
help this institution to pass through its
most trying period and, when the brighter
days have come, here will be the glorious
heritage of a,great educational institution
in which all of us may take a sincere and
honest pride not because of its name but
because of what it has done and what it
will do for the young men and young women
who come here to obtain their education,
for the great scientific advancement
of this state and this area and for the
kindly and wonderful sejvice which it is
carrying on for the benefit of the rural
people of Alabama.
ing and fairness. We feel that such
underhand tactics of mud-slinging, such
undecidedly unsportsmanlike proceedings
should be an insult to every intelligent
and fair-minded person on' the
campus. We believe that a continuation
of such matters defeats the purpose
of the education foi which we are
all seeking."
* * * *
In a rather sarcastic diatribe the L. S. U.
lads come out in full glory for eight o'clock
classes and more work. It seems that they
get up with the chickens, eat their cereal,
and go to work with a zest down in old
Louisiana. "Let us then be up and doing
etc. etc."
FOR THE TEN O'CLOCK SCHOLAR
"The faculty of Rochester university
has abolished all eight o'clock classes,
claiming that it is better for the students
to sleep in bed than in class.
"This step is a decided improvement.
While they are in reforming mood we -
suggest that they adopt a few more
slight changes.
"They could, for instance, dismiss
school on Monday mornings in order
to give the students a chance to recover
from the week-end. They could abandon
classes right after noon in order
to aid digestion, and they could abolish
four o'clock classes because everyone
is tired out by that time of day.
"This further suggests some im-
• provements which might be made on
our own campus. If not willing to
allow the students another hour or so
of beauty sleep, the authorities should
at least agree to install in the classrooms
convertible chairs which can be
adjusted to an almost reclining position
so that the student will not be embarrassed
by falling out of his chair when
he dozes off. Then there should be
gons to sound in the manner of alarm
clocks so that the student will not miss
his next class.
"Every step should be made to increase
the efficiency of the student, and
if he does not get enough sleep he will
not be at his best.
"And anyway, who likes to sleep
upright in a straight chair with one
eye on the prof and one ear open for
roll call?"

This is the answer to the honor situation
as offered by Dean Hibbard, of Northwestern
:
"This solution is this: Let a group
arise with the courage to face unpopularity
because of its sanction of this
issue. They will be scoffed at and ridiculed
by those who do not count. But
the proposition they will bring to. the
students will be sound, and it will be
based on a student self governing organization.
"A hundred student governing bodies
could not solve the problem of classroom
dishonesty. They could minimize
it, perhaps, but never could they eradicate
it. Such a body would simplify
discipline problems for the university,
and it would give students some meas-
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.
* * * *
It has been suggested several times during
the year that the best and most agreeable
way in which this column could be
written would be to leave it absolutely
blank. Cletus agrees that to please the
largest number of people, this method
should be religiously followed, but in the
past this column has had no such policy.
Success has been measured by the number
of people who turned to their inalienable
right of damning the damned, and with
such a yard stick there can be no failure.
It is indeed with sadness that we view
the prospect of writing our last column
because ever present is the noble urge of
expressing to the world the undying love
and patriotism that we hold for dear old
Auburn and her ancient traditions. In the
future some other medium of expression
will have to be discovered, but to take advantage
of the present opportunity we feel
that a change of policy is well in order.
It is considered by many eminent men
about the campus that the rankest breech
of journalistic ethics is the system or custom
of saying uncomplimentary things
about worth while institutions. The question
of what is worth while need not be
discussed here, nor does the exact definition
of "men" need to be considered, but
"eminent men" are always right, and we
do not dare go against the dictates of such
campus authorities.
This column is written for the sole purpose
of being complimentary, but do not
forget that to damn is the American's inalienable
privilege, and a few more in this
dh'ection will make no difference.
A story is told of a graduating class of
a certain Eastern university that is hard
for Auburn men to believe. It seems that
the class was composed of a bunch of radicals,
and with a common purpose they all
worked to find some method of expressing
their defiance for the college and the whole
system of higher education. On the day
of the graduation exercises each senior
walked up to the stage, shook hands with
the president, received his diploma and immediately
struck a match to it, and walked
off the stage with a glaring torch of radical
defiance. Such a thing would be unheard
of at Auburn because we love our
Alma Mater.
The Auburn Executive Council is certainly
to be congratulated and complimented
on the wonderful work it has done during
the year to establish at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, rules and regulations
that effectively govern the actions of the
whole, student body. And the point that
is most encouraging to the friends of Auburn
is the efficient enforcement that
these regulations have received.
Every Auburn student now knows that
if he does not pass at least eleven hours of
work he will be sent home, and the whole
student body is certain, because of several
example cases, that if any person is caught
using unfair means on an examination he
will be required to resign from school.
By establishing the regulations of the
college on an open and public basis,'and
by making sure that all the rules were
rigidly enforced, the Executive Council has
done its part in making Auburn one of
the most outstanding colleges in the United
States. Every Auburn man should publicly
express his appreciation for the excellent
work done by the council.
* * * *
Upon entering college for the first time
a student usually finds it extremely hard
to make adjustments to his new surroundings
and new mode of living. This year,
however, this difficulty has been reduced
to a minimum by the efficient and helpful
work carried on by the "A" Club. This
unselfish cooperation with the first year
men has made a distinct contribution to
the good name of Auburn.
The "A" Club is also to be congratulated
for its whole hearted cooperation in developing
at Auburn the spirit of democratic
student control.

What our cowboy contemporaries think
of their morals:
"The Daily Nebraskan makes bold to
say that the morals of the students
of the University of Nebraska are higher
in every degree than the morals of a
similar age group anywhere else. If
those who are constantly bemoaning
collegiate vice will show students a
group of five thousand young men and
women between the ages of sixteen and
twenty-five with morals which will
compare in any respect to those of stud
e n t s then they will have grounds upon
which to base their complaints."

POLO TEAM SPLITS TWO GAME
SERIES WITH UNIV. OF GEORGIA
Auburn Team Makes Good Showing In First Intercollegiate
Polo Contest*; To Meet Georgia Here Saturday and Monday;
Admission Prices Will Be 25 Cents
By K. G. Taylor
Auburn's newly formed Polo team
recently returned from Athens, Ga.,
where they played the University of
Georgia, in their first intercollegiate
game. Two games were played,
Georgia winning the first, 8-0, and
Auburn the second, 7-6.
In the first game Georgia took an
early lead which they held throughout
the game. Auburn soon found
themselves, however, and put up a
good fight after the first two periods.
Several times Auburn had wonderful
scoring possibilities but lacked accuracy
at these crucial moments. G.

the Auburn team, was the outstanding
player for Auburn, and only his
great defensive work kept the score
from being much higher. Cromer
Wood, No. 4, was the spark in the
Georgia attack, shooting four goals
while Pritchard, No. 2, also played
a good game.
In the second game the Auburn
team, having become more familiar
with the horses and the field, took
and early lead which they held
throughout. They carried the play
to Georgia and rang up four goals in
the first two periods; Lewis Jones
scoring two, and Ole Johnson and
Calvin Black one each. Georgia
came back in the third period and
scored twice, making the score at
the half, Auburn 4, Georgia 2. In
the fourth and fifth periods Auburn
again became aggressive and scored
three goals while Georgia scored one.
Georgia made a desperate rally in
the last period and scored three times
but could not overcome Auburn's
early lead and the game ended with
the score: Auburn 7, Georgia 6.
Lewis Jones, Auburn No. 2, was
the outstanding player in the second
game. Playing a great offensive
game, he made four goals for the
winners. Calvin Black, No. 1, played
a wonderful riding game by keeping
the goal clear for the attack.
Auburn will play Georgia here in a
return engagement Saturday at 2:30
and Monday at 3:00 on Bullard Field.
The admission will be 25 cents for
one game or a ticket for both games
may be purchased for 35 cents.

Should proposed measures go
