REVIEW THIS MORNING
Thousands Of Visitors Come
to Auburn For Game and
Celebration
Since early yesterday, several
thousands of visitors have been pour­ing
into Auburn for homecoming and
Mothers- and Dads' Day. Registra­tion
began this morning at nine
o'clock and lasted for a half hour at
Langdon Hall. A large number of
parents registered and started on the
conducted tour of the college, view­ing
the activities of various branches
of the institution. An interesting art
exhibit in the Architectural building
was the first feature of interest in
the program of the morning. After
registering they were taken to the
Dairy and Animal Husbandry build­ing
and an extremely interesting
demonstration of the manufacture of
ice cream, was given to the mothers
and fathers by Professor A. D.
Burke.
From here they were taken to the
Textile building where Prof. Camp
demonstrated the manufacture of
cloth. After this interesting exhi­bition
the parents were taken to the
poultry farm, seeing Aoburn's fam­ous
chickens and the manner in
which they are cared for.
The conclusion of the morning
program was marked by a review in
which Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bush, Sr.,
of Mobile, occupied reviewing stand,
being chosen by Dr. Knapp.
The hours from twelve to two were
given over to luncheon and rest, at
the end of which they were admitted
to the football field in company of
their sons or daughters holding tick­et
books. The game was a fitting
conclusion to the best parents' day
held here since its inauguration, three
years ago, Auburn triumphing over
Spring Hill for its third win in five
tries this season.
. There will be a dance tonight at
the gymnasium and all of those par­ents
who care to attend will be ad­mitted
for a very small sum.

A mounted battery of Field Artil­lery
will be organized at Auburn, in
the near future, according to an an­nouncement,
made recently by the
Military department.
The unit is to be composed of
eleven seniors and from forty-seven
to fifty-five juniors, depending on
the number of students desiring to
participate in the activities. Volun­teers
will be called for in the near
future, from the two upper classes
| to compose the battery, and in case
of an excess of volunteers, lots will
be drawn to determine the men who'
will comprise the unit.
Drill will be held for the mounted
battery every Saturday morning,
from 10:00-12:00, and will replace
regular drill with the R. O. T. C.
Unit. Students participating in the
work of the mounted battery will be
excused from Tuesday's drill, on al­ternate
weeks. An absence from the
drill of the mounted battery on Sat­urday
will be counted double, as it is
a two hour class.
The object in organizing the bat­tery
is to give interested students an
opportunity to become acquainted
with the fundamental principles of
mounted battery work, and to give
demonstrations frond time to time.
Mayor Copeland Issues Proclamation on Education Week
Auburn's Baby Tigers lost their
first game of the season Friday after­noon,
to the strong freshman aggre­gation
of the University of Florida,
by the score of 22 to 0.
The first downs and yardage ac­cumulated
by the two teams were
about even, but the Baby 'Gators
were more alert in taking advant­age
of the breaks and converting
them into touchdowns. The Florida
Rats scored in every period, except
the first, and added to their three
touchdown margin with a safety in
the third quarter.
A long pass in the second quarter,
that placed the bal Ion Auburn's 7-
yard line, gave the 'Gator frosh their
first, marker. A bad punt, from be­hind
the Auburn goal line, went out
of bounds on the 12-yard stripe, in
the third stanza and gave the Flori-dian's
their second scoring oppor­tunity.
The third touchdown was
made by an intercepted pass. As the
game ended the Auburn Rats were on
Florida's 5-yard line, with their of­fense
just beginning to click.
The Tiger Cubs did not display
the brand of football that was evi­dent
in their victories over the Geor­gia,
Oglethorpe and Birmingham-
Southern freshmen. The offense was
ragged throughout the line play was
not up to par.
Fenton, right end, and Morris and
Moore, in the Auburn backfield, prob­ably
turned in the best game for the
Cubs. McAnley, flashy Florida half­back,
was the big gun in the 'Gator
attack.

HALLOWE'EN FAIR
IS HELD TONIGHT
The following proclamation was is­sued
by Mayor Copeland at the re­quest
of the Auburn Business and
Professional Women's Club:
"A Proclamation"
"Whereas, the American people
have set up a form of government,
based upon the ideal of democracy
and equal rights and privileges to
all, and
"Whereas, the realization of this
ideal of democracy is dependent upon
an enlightened citizenship, and
"Whereas, there is need for the
public to have accurate and adequate
information regarding our education­al
situation, and
"Whereas, such information is
available through observance of Na­tional
Education. Week, established
some years ago by the joint efforts
of the American Legion, the Nation­al
Education Association and the
United States Bureau of Education,
"Now, therefore, I, W. D. Cope­land,
as mayor of the city of Auburn,
hereby proclaim and declare the week
of November 9 to 15, inclusive as
EDUCATION WEEK IN
Auburn, Alabama,
and I urge and beseech all citizens
of our city to observe said week and
to take advantage of this opportuni­ty
to acquaint themselves with the
accomplishments, present status, and
the needs of our schools, so that we
may provide such education for our
youth that they may take their places
in the life of our nation, healthy in
mind and body, competent in voca­tion,
graced in the arts of co-opera­tion
and social service, intelligent in
the duties of citizenship, loyal to the
ideals of home, religion, the state
and mankind. Observe this week in
order that we may appreciate the re­lation
of our schools to our national
welfare and progress and in order
better to bring co-operation between
the school, home, church, state, and
business and social organizations to
the end that all resources both ma­terial
and human may serve their
highest ends.
"In witness whereof, I have here­unto
set my hand, this the 2nd day
of November, in the Year of our
Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-
One."
W. D. Copeland, Mayor.

A blocked punt deep in Auburn's territory gave Spring Hill
a touchdown early in the first quarter. Two long drives of
the Tigers were stopped inside the 5-yard line. ' With the in­sertion
of a new backfield Auburn opened a strong running and
passing attack, and scored two touchdowns in the second quar­ter,
Jimmie Hitchcock crossing the line twice. In the third
quarter Parker took a punt on his own 32-yard line and raced
through" the entire Spring Hill team for a touchdown. Late in
the game, Neal, a reserve back, carried the ball over for
another Auburn touchdown.

MOTHERS' AND DADS' DAY
Once a year Auburn observes Mothers'
and Dads' Day. In having one day through
out the year set aside for this purpose, we
pause to wonder if they are accorded more
than just this single tribute for their sac-rafices
in the minds of the average stu­dent.
Can we really pay tribute to them
in such an insufficient way? A moral lec­ture
is not congruous with our policies, but
we believe that seldom do we really give
them the true respect and devotion which
they deserve. Few of us could thrive on
what we build out of ourselves; we can
only be what they have taught us to be,
and in honestly doing so we can count our­selves
as those who command the respect
of the world. They have built their ideals
around us from the hard experience of
their conquests and failures. To justify a
loyalty and love of this undying nature, do
no less than strive to attain; it; we can ex­pect
to do no more.
AN HONEST PROPOSAL
In Article Six, of the By-Laws, contained
in the Constitution of The Associated Un­dergraduate
Students of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, we find: "No meeting
shall begin or continue unless at least a
quorum—two-thirds the total membership
—is present." This applies to the Execu­tive
Cabinet, which is the governing body
of the student government, set up by pop­ular
consent on the 15th day of April, in
the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and
twenty-nine. We have been told that this
executive body, and its accompaning con­stitution
and by-laws, are a model for all
student activities. It has also been implied
in Article One, of the By-Laws, that:
"Every registered undergraduate student of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute shall be­come
subject to the following rules and
regulations, . . . ". There is no doubt,
from the meaning of the articles, that this
organization is the exemplification of all
good things in respect to student govern­ment.
We can not deny this, as there has
not yet appeared from their organism any
momentous decision which would warrant
any speculation of the intrinsic worth of
such a body. We can say, however, that
there have been absolutely no steps taken
which would lead to a better arrangement
of undergraduate meeting. If this body
finds it indispensable to their organization
to have a law to govern them as is con­tained
in Article Six, of the By-Laws, of
this "noble experiment" and professes to
work entirely for the benefit of the stu­dent
body, why do they not propose an ar­ticle
to be amended to the constitution by
which there may be a law similar to Arti­cle
Six, of the By-Laws, which will apply
to all meetings of the student body? If
the true interest of the student body is
rooted deep within their minds they will
take action on this subject.
On the other hand, in order to promote
such an activity, there should be some pro­vision
made which will compel students to
attend all meetings which are called, for
matters which will apply vitally to the work
and position of the school as a whole.
Y.M.C.A. PROGRESSES
Back through the pages of history are
innumerable accounts of the failure of
church and state when the two became
too closely associated. Spiritual endeavor
has never prospered on forced legislation.
Until this year the Auburn Y. M. C. A.
was operated on a plan that could not pro­duce
other than stagnation. Students came
to think of membership as a burden rather
than a privilege. And the portion of the
student activity fee, which entitled all stu­dents
to membership, was regarded with
general disfavor. There was little inter­est,
little knowledge of the purpose, and
the Y. M. C. A. failed to command the
proper position in campus activity.
Had this altruistic agency been able to
establish a spacious building on the campus,
with swimming pools, lounges, and many
facilities of recreation, there would prob­ably
have been-an altogether different man­ifestation
of student opinion at the meet­ing
of the senior class Thursday morning.
Such things are the result of prolonged
effort and time. The Y. M. C. A. made
the first step of progress when they came
forward as an independent organization,
asking for support of those students inter­ested
in the work. However it was an in­opportune
time for such an action, and
regardless of the student's magnitude of
heart it is impossible for the majority to
make any effective contribution at this
time.
Yet, under these conditions the "Y" has
not attempted to legislate any funds. The
proposal for the appropriation of part of
the class dues to the cause was not made
by the officials of this body. It was mere­ly'an
outgrowth of feeling on the part of
several individuals of the class, that to
apply the money in this way would con­stitute
both a free will offering and at the
same time leave a memorial to the class.
Should the organization flourish and the
height of material progress attained, and
this will inevitably increase the intangible
values, the Class of 1932 will have left a
monument that will remain long after the
last bit of memory for its personel shall
have faded entirely from the campus.
Regardless of the action of the class it
was gratifying-to see the spirit of mob psy­chology
so gloriously trodden beneath the
open expression of personal opinion. Some­thing
new under the sun for class meetings.
Book Review
GHADHI OF INDIA—HIS OWN STORY,
An Autobiography Edited by Charles F.
Andrews; McMillan, $2.50.
The statements of Gandhi's in this vol­ume
tend clearly to show the basic premises
from which his political operations radiate:
"I want to live at peace with both friend
and foe"; and "For me there are no politics
devoid of religions." These are not nebu­lous
and theoretical fancies of Mahatma
Gandhi's: they are borne out by his every
act. So much has been written of this man
that, a living, vital force in the world, he
has nevertheless become almost a legend.
One scarcely knows where the credible ends
and the incredible begins. Mahatma Garis-dhi's
Ideas, which Mr. Andrews edited some
months ago, did much to dispel the layman's
questions as to what were the fundamental
ideas back of Gandhi's activities. This vol­ume
presents clearly and concisely the acts
themselves. Constantly bewailing the fact
that he is subject to human frailties, Gandhi
is humble, reverent, tolerant, and yet com­pletely
unswerving in his determination to
better the conditions of his countrymen in
India, as he has already done in South Af-
TO LADY JANE
By Vachel Lindsay
.. Romance was always young.
You come today
Just eight years old
With marvellous dark hair.
Younger than Dante found you
When you turned
His heart into the way
That found the heavenly stair.
Perhaps we must be strangers.
I confess
My soul this hour is Dante's,
And your care
Should be for dolls
Whose painted hands caress
Your marvellous dark hair.
Romance, with moonflower face
And morning eyes,
And lips whose thread of scarlet
And lips whose thread of scarlet
prophes
The canticles of a coming king unknown,
Remember, when you join him
On his throne,
Even me, your far off troubadour,
And wear
For me some trifling rose
Beneath your veil,
Dying a royal death,
Happy and pale,
Choked by the passion,
The wonder and the snare,
The glory and despair
That still will haunt and own
Your marvellous dark hair.

not exist.—Salvador Urbina, Justice of the

It is difficult t o
realize that we • are
living in the midst of
history. Events we
are watching now will
be important events
in years to come. The
most gratifying, and
to me, the most en­couraging
sign I have
seen lately is the result of the British elec­tion.
Great leadership and great devotion
are outstanding characteristics. It seems
to me that the English people must be a
people of great courage and also great loy­alty
and devotion to their own form of
government.
* * * *
Hope and fear are two forces playing a
great part in this critical time in our own
history. Someone said the other day that
more than a billion dollars has been with­drawn
from the banks of America, due to
the fear people have for their savings. One
cannot blame them and yet somehow and
in some way confidence must be restored
and hope must take the place of fear. Some­times
it. seems to me almost unbelievable
that the people of this great State of Ala­bama
should believe that we cannot work
out our State's problems, as difficult as
they are. Some of these days cotton is go­ing
to begin to bring more money. Even
now our consumption of cotton has in­creased.
And then more men will be em­ployed
because the wheels of commerce and
trade and industry will begin to turn again.
A time of distress like this is a poor time
to start throwing bricks and destroying
confidence and uprooting^the faith people
have in public officials, public institutions
and government itself. The man who would
take advantage of a crisis in the life of an
institution, a state or a nation to injure or
destroy or hamper the difficult, nerve-rack­ing
task of carrying the load with an un­quenchable
faith and a steady confidence
in the ultimate triumph of those things
which are right, is a character for whom
I have no admiration. Selfishness\has no
place in the difficult task of untangling
either the financial, governmental, spirit­ual

There never was a time in the
history of the affairs of men when the
drawing together of right-thinking, unsel­fish,
earnest, hopeful individuals was so im­portant.
It is important for Auburn, im­portant

for America.

Thoughts, ideas and ideals are not of
the material world. They may have their
substance in material things. Material
things may be the objects or outward ex­pressions
of thoughts. You cannot defeat
an idea by physical combat. The old say­ing
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again"
is still true and none of us can possibly
avoid its consequences. The test of physi­cal
battle may be my ability to use my phy­sical
strength and physical faculties against
an adversary. That physical contest might
settle the question of who is the best man
but if my adversary was right in express­ing
some thought or ideal and I "was wrong
my victory would never change my wrong
and make it right nor would his defeat
make him wrong instead of right. In this
world We must learn to face not only the
physical combats of life which sometimes
are still called upon to face, but we must
learn to face squarely truth, thought, ideas
and ideals. Some brilliant man has recent­ly
said "What we call the process of rea­soning
is merely the process of re-arrang­ing
one's prejudices." I think Dr. Millikan
quotes that sentence in "Science and the
New Civilization." In our arguments over
the affairs of this college, student affairs
and all the affairs of life, let us learn to
look at men squarely and-let us be tolerant
of the other fellow's ideas. Possibly ours
is only a prejudice. The helpful critic in
this life is the open-minded, earnest, fair
critic who tries to see the other fellow's
side of a controversy, who uses reason and
not prejudice. Above all let us cultivate
toleration. Possibly the other fellow may
be right or partly right. Wouldn't it be a
great thing to find out?

Saturday is "Mother's and Dads' Day".
I think no one on the campus knows how
much fathers and mothers yearn over their
boys and girls at college as well as I do.
Their anxiety never ceases. The most un­selfish,
the most self-sacrificing love and
service there is in the world is the love of
a father and mother for their children.
You will never know what it means until
you have children of your own. It is diffi­cult
to put into words. It seems to me
there should be one day in the year here at
Auburn when we pay some special atten­tion
to fathers and mothers. I like to call
it "Mothers' and Dads' Day" because the
word "Dad" is an indication of that splend­id
comradship between a father and son
which is ideal. But when it comes to

WITH OTHER COLLEGES
Glory, glory! The editor, associate editor,
or probably it was the assistant associate
editor (for some papers have such highly
developed organization) of the Alabamian,
paper from our sister institution at Monte-vallo,
sits down in a chair, ponders, thinks,
contemplates, and finally a gem of thought
to be handed down to future generations
is born. "Let's start a tradition!" she en­thuses.
"There are many tra'ditions on the
campus, most of which were established
long ago. A tradition which we might
start and one which will be appreciated and
respected by future students is in regard to
the seats designated to classes for convoca­tion.
Remember . . . when you go to chapel
and don't sit in your sections, you are lack­ing
in class loyalty and spirit." We repeat,
all glory to this wonderful person who sug­gests,
that in spite of what Webster or the
Oxford Dictionary give 'as the definition of
"tradition", suggests that one be started at
Montevallo. Next the young genii at that
seat of learning, so beloved by Auburnites,
will be making up ballads to be handed
down from the Middle Ages to posterity—
or some such nonsensical thing.

A few weeks ago a college professor at
N. Y. U. startled the world when he an­nounced
that whistlers were morons. Fol­lowing
in the footsteps of his colleague, a
professor at Presbyterian college, in South
Carolina, has made the novel declaration
that men who chew tobacco and spit are
"sissies". Through some miracle the As­sociated
Press hasn't got hold of this news
—or possibly they are now ready to give
relief to wearied readers. Be that as it
may, the professor's statement will be much
easier to refute generally than Shaw's, in
spite of the fact that he doesn't do as Shaw
did and say, "Imagine Gary Cooper or
Wild Bill Hickok chewing tobacco! It is
beyond the realms of human reason that
Buffalo Bill or Buddy Rogers should spit
"Mother" I could not find any nickname.
No other name would suit as well. There
is a halo of sacredness about these mothers
of men which, after all, I believe is the
most beautiful sentiment there is in all the
world. Let "Mothers' and Dads' Day" be
a day of good comradship, a good time^in
every way, but also make them feel your
love for them, that tenderest of feeling
which no one can express in words. My
hope is that as the years go by we can keep
two occasions in the year when the fathers
and mothers will be signally honored—once
in the fall on "Mothers' and Dads' Day"
and again at Commencement when they
come in here by the hundreds to see their
sons and daughters graduate from Old Au­burn.

my plug of Man's Pride |(br Brown Mule,
as the case may be)." Then look up their
fighting records. Aw, theah, professah!

(With apologies to Kipling)
If you can fool your prof, without his

That you are shooting him a line of bull,
And, while this bull from you is freely

By degrees you get with him a pull,
If you can force yourself by a mighty
effort
To laugh when he dispenses his stale jokes

question, \
You read the answer calmly from your

If you can fill the unforgiving hour
With sixty minutes worth of spoofing done,
Yours is the course, and three hours credit

And, what is more, you'll make an A, my

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.
CONSCIENTIOUS CLETUS wishes
to express his sincere appreciation
to the writer of the following letter
for his kind interest and understanding, re­garding
the objectives and hoped for re­sults
of this column.
Auburn, Alabama
Post Office Box 454
October 30, 1931
Mr. J. W. Letson, Jr.,
Auburn, Alabama.
Dear Sir: %
"I have read with a great deal of
interest your column that has been
appearing in The Plainsman, under the
caption of "Conscientious Cletus". I ad­mire
your action in placing your name
at the head of your column, as well as
your frankness in dealing with the mat­ters
at hand. I quite agree with your
opinions as expressed.
"I am a charter member of the "A"
Club, having earned a letter in varsity
competition in football in 1919, before
the "A" club was organized in the
spring of 1920. So far as I know at
that time, this club was organized for
the purpose of bringing I the wearers
of the "A" together in an organization
whose membership would be restricted
to athletes and wheVe subjects that re­lated
to "A" men and sports could be
discussed. The presumtion was that a
more harmonious atmosphere would re­sult
from this organization. I do not
think that the purpose of the club was
to interfere in any way, with the ac­tivities
of the student body, nor to at­tempt
in any way to control these ac­tivities.
"I, like Cletus, and see no reason
why the "A" Club should be empowered
to regulate the activities of the Fresh- -
men. As a rule an athlete will have
done a very good piece of work, if he
effectively controls the man that is in
his own shirt.
"I appreciate this opportunity to com­mend
your efforts to clarify a rather
mixed state of affairs."
Yours truly,
J. C. Slone.
It has been the author's expressed policy
in conducting this column to exclude all
trivial personal details without even a men­tion.
In answering, what has turned out
to be a challenge from the "A" Club this
policy will not be departed from. It might
be well to add here, that the column in
Wednesday's issue of The Plainsman, was
the result of a meeting of the "A" Club
which the author attended. As a result of
the demand that the author exclude all
mention of the above named organization
from future contributions, to this column,
Conscientious Cletus had only one of two
courses to follow. It was necessary to eith­er
admit that all past statements were
false and discontinue writing, or pay no at­tention
to the demand and continue along
the same policy. The author is certainly
not infallible, but until sufficient proof can
be submitted that the statements in this
column have been false, there will be no
change in the author's policy.
The ultimate objective of the arguments
and open criticisms expressed in this column
is to develop at Auburn the principles of
democratic control, and to bring about the
development of an efficient student govern­ment
that will represent the whole student
body, and have the backing of every Au­burn
student in regard to regulations pas­sed.
From all indications, a majority of Au­burn
students were glad to contribute fifty
cents toward sending the band to Jackson­ville;
but it is not in keeping with demo­cratic
principles for the minority not to be
given an opportunity to express itself. The
point was made in this column that fifty
cents was taken from each student by a
vote of a small percentage of the student
body, but even this would have been in
keeping with democratic ideals, if the con­vocation
had been sufficiently advertised.
Regardless of whether the Auburn Vigi­lance
Committee is in keeping with nation­al
progressive movements along this line
or not there could be no criticism of the
method used by this committee to exercise
its authority if this authority was given
to it by a representative body of Auburn
students.
Student control should be exercised by
those duly empowered to do so, and until
then Auburn's organizations are open to
criticism.

OVER ONE HUNDRED
ARE ENROLLED IN
AERONAUTIC COURSE
With a view to careers in aviation
108 students at the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute are now enrolled in aero­nautical
engineering. This is 28 more
than the enrollment of the 1930-31
session, which marked the beginning
of Auburn instruction in aviation.
Three courses are offered in this
department, according to Lieut. V.
C. Finch, who is in charge. The
courses in airplane design, mainten­ance
and operation/of airplanes, and
the business of commercial aviation.
Students who complete these courses
are" prepared for work in airplane
manufacturing plants and also in
aviation itself. Some will become
pilots.
"Fundamental training ic given so
that those students who complete
the courses will be prepared to fill
important positions immediately after
graduation from college," said Profes­sor
Finch.
In connection with their work Pro­fessor
Finch and his associates have
observed "a marked tendency" among
Auburn students toward "air-minded-ness."
An appreciation of the grow­ing
importance of aviation and its
place in the economic and industrial
affairs of the nation are observed;
and facts upon these subjects are
taught.
Associated with Professor Finch in
teaching aeronautical engineering are
Professor Solon Dixon and Professor
Victor W. Randecker. All three are
pilots. Professor Dixon owns and
operates an airplane. He uses it in
going to and from football games and
for other trips.
Professor Randecker is from the
University of Wisconsin. He was a
flight instuct'or at the Great Lakes
Naval Air Station before he came to
Auburn.
Auburn Coach Was
Always Courageous
As Football Player
Chet Wynne, Auburn's head coach,
succeeded as a great football player
at Notre Dame, because he was one
of the most courageous players out
for the team. Always a luminary
on the defense, Wynne marred his
sparkling offensive work by his
fumbling until the late George Gipp,<
Notre Dame's greatest football play­er,
made him carry a football tucked
under his arms for a whole day. The
seams of the oval felt good to Wynne
so he never fumbled again after an
all day session with the pigskin. He
is rated as one of the best defensive
backs ever developed at Notre Dame
and rose to immortal heights in ad­vancing
the ball in the annual Notre
Dame-Nebraska game in 1921. Gipp
realized that Wynne was a sterling
performer and urged Rockne to use
him more than he did before Wynne
became a regular in 1920 and 1921.

With the reorganization of the Au­burn
Y. M. C. A. this Fall, a new
step was taken pointing toward a
closer relationship between the as­sociation
members and the members
of the local churches.
A Ladies Auxiliary was organized.
The following ladies representing the
different Protestant churches were
chosen by their denomination, to ser­ve
on the Auxiliary:
Mrs. F. S. Arant, Methodist, chair­man;
Mrs. S. W. Garrett, Baptist;
Mrs. Cecil Yarbrough, Episcopal;
Miss Mary Martin, Presbyterian, and
Mrs. Carl M. Clark, Christian.
These ladies were responsibile for
the beautiful ferns and pot plants
used on the stage during Dr. Weath-erford's
series of lectures. They
have assisted in many ways toward
making the present "Y" quarters
neat and attractive.
The association is fortunate in be­ing
able to secure the services and
the interest of these Christian ladies
of the local community. Their in­fluence
will give depth,*stability and
lasting worth to the work.

of Auburn, are very happy to com­mend
you and your work to the
friends of our students here in the

are favorably impressed with your
Christian character, your commend­able
conduct, and your fine influence

and faculty members to lead
students to faith in Jesus; into mem­bership
and service in the Christian
churches; to promote their interest
in Bible study, prayer and growth in
Christian faith and character; to in­fluence
them to endeavor to make
the will of God effective in human
society.
"You have our sincere sympathy
in your efforts to make such a worthy
service actual on the campus of our
college here at Auburn.
"We sincerely hope that the
friends of our students and the mem­bers
of our respective churches will
give you a cordial hearing and a
hearty and satisfactory response
when you ask them for the money
necessary to make your woi'k the
great success it should be, and can
be, here on our college campus.

in indescribable results, in influence,
in character and in service no"w and
in Eternity."
With every good wish,
Yours sincerely,

Opportunities Of
Modern Chemistry
Stressed By Herty
Dr. Charles Herty, prominent
Georgia chemist, spoke to the stu­dents
of the chemical department yes­terday
afternoon. In his speech, Dr.
Herty stressed the opportunities in
modern chemistry. He gave a num­ber
of his interesting experiences
during the World War, which he said
was really the starting point of
American Chemistry as it is today.
As an illustration of the rapid pro­gress,
Americans have made in this
subject, fifteen years ago practically
all of American dye-stuffs were im-^
ported from Germany. Now, Amer­ican
manufacturers are actually un­der-
selling Germans in the sale ' of
dye-stuffs in Germany.
Dr. Herty advised students just be
ginning in chemistry not to be dis­couraged
by the great "depression"
around them. He prophesied that
within the next three years, the
United States would be needing every
trained man in this profession it
could lay its hands on, basing his
prediction upon previous history.
This speech was the first of a series
Dr. Herty will make this year. The
next talk will be made in about a
month. The subject will be announ­ced
later.
For the past two weeks Coach
Hutsell has been putting his track
men through daily workouts. A large
portion of last year's undefeated
team is back, and have been answer­ing
the call regularly. To these have
been added men from the last year
freshman class and material from
other schools.
The cross country team officially
opened the season last Friday with a
win over the Georgia team. Although
three of last year's stars, Ross and
Emmett McQueen and Clarence Rob­erts,
did not participate in this meet
on account of injuries, -Auburn won

Coleman held the record for the in­door
shot put and was probably the
greatest discus thrower of all times.
Jeff Beard, this year's Captain, will
throw the shot put and the discus
while Killebrew will also hurl the
discus. Robert Rutland will throw
the javelin again this year.
The team will be greatly strength­ened
at the end of football season by
the addition of football players who
are track aspirants. The football
men who will report for track are:
Casey Kimbrell and Sterling Dupree,
sprints and broad jump; 440 dash,
Allen Rogers, and for the throws
Holmes, Talley, McCollum, and Ar­thur.
At present the prospects are
bright for another undefeated team
again this year.

Memphis Presbyterian ministers have
been carrying on an unsuccessful

Some business men a r e so beset by
the greed for immediate pfofit that
they never get it through their heads
that service must precede profit.
In our forties we don't bounce as
well as we did in our twenties.
In one of the most closely fought
games seen here in a long time, Au­burn
High defeated Lanett 13 to 12.
From the first kick-off to the final
whistle the outcome was always in
doubt. For Auburn, Cook, Isley and
Bottoms deserve credit for doing the
ball carrying while Blake performed
well at quarterback. In the line Capt.
Moore arid Yarbrough were particu-

For Lanett, Knight was the offensive
s t a r scoring 1 touchdown unaided,
and catching a short pass for the
other. The whole Lanett line per­formed
well and at times seemed al­most
inpenetrable.
Auburn scored the first touchdown
early in the first quarter. Bottoms
ran the ball back 20 yards on the
kick-off, to place the ball in Lanettls.
territory. After advancing the ball
to Lanett's 20 yard line, Isley passed
to Cook who ran the remaining dis­tance
for the touchdown. Blake's
t r y for the extra point was low and
wide.
In the third quarter Lanett ad­vanced
the ball from midfield to Au­burn's
nine yard line. For three
plays the Auburn line held back the
thrusts of the Lanett backs. On the
fourth down, however, a short pass,

pass for the extra point failed.
In the same quarter Auburn
brought the ball to Lanett's 30 yard
line. Here an Auburn back fumbled.
Isley however, picked it up and pas­sed
to Cook who placed the ball on
the Lanett 8 yard line. -After 3 un­successful
attempts at the line, Isley
plunged through right tackle for the
touchdown. A pass, Isley to Yar­brough,
was good for the extra point.
A Lanett pass was intercepted by
Cook to place the ball within scoring
distance. However, Auburn was
penalized 15 yards, to place the ball
on Lanett's 35 yard line. Here a
pass was attempted, but the entire
Lanett team was on the passer, and it
was blocked. Before the ball hit the
ground Knight caught it and ran 55
yards and final touchdown of the
game. The try for the extra point
was successful.
