ALL-COLLEGE HIKE SLATED
FOR SATURDAY EVENING
Big Doings Promised by
Y. M. C. A. at Annual
Event; Eats Galore to
Be Served
Fellows, co-eds, and faculty mem­bers,
lend me your ears, but not your
appetites as you will need the latter
on Saturday, December 12.. Why?
Simply because on the afore men­tioned
date one of the greatest events
on the college calendar will take
place. What? The All-College Hike
is to be staged. Where? The pro­cession
will depart from Langdon
Hall at two o'clock and will wind
its way directly northward to a spot,
beautiful and inviting, where eats
and fun galore will reign supreme
until nightfall.
The All-College Hike, an annual
affair sponsored the by the Y.M.C.A.
will this year, according to all reports
from those in charge, be bigger and
better than ever before. So let's one
and all be prepared to forget about
classes, notebooks, quizzes, and other
"gripes" for the entire afternoon of
December 12. Chief among the
many events on the program are:
the annual tug-of-war between soph­omores
and freshmen, the pillow
fights between the different units of
the military department, a grand dis­play
of fireworks, and stunts by
co-eds and faculty members.
Remember, Auburnites, be on time
as it would be "sinful to subject you
to the gruesome and nerve-racking
quietness which will reign throughout
Hie Village of the Plains on the above
mentioned afternoon. _:'. Ij<w»«8tly7

FRIENDSHIP COUNCIL
HOLD FIRST MONTHLY
DINNER FRIDAY NIGHT
Reports Are Made by Various
Committees; World Court
Discussed
LT. PEASE SPEAKS AT
MEETING OF S. A. M.E.
Continuing its policy of having one
of the R. O. T. C. officers as principal
speakers for the S.A.M.E. program,
the program committee last Monday
night presented Lt. C. E. Pease £o
the society. Lt. Pease gave a most
interesting talk on the "History and
Development of Artillery and Class­ifications
of Calibers." He began
with the time when catapults were
used and told the society of the first
use of gunpowder in the 14th centu­ry,
the first use of guns on the battle
field by the British, the first intro­duction
of mobile artillery by Gusta-vus
Adolphus, the rapid development
of artillery during the 18th century,
the introduction of shrapnel, rifled
barrels, breech blocks, and smokeless
powder in the 19th century,/and
finally of the present day use, of tile
various classes of artillery. J|W;. Pease
also told of the "Big BertM»" BBed
to bombard Paris during the world
war. ,<<
Next on the program was a short
but concise talk ovgthe "Commercial
Use of Tractor Powder" by J.N. Nelms.
The most important use of tractors
commercially is for road construction
and maintenance. He also told of
their extensive use as snow plows, in
logging camps, on farms, and for
many other odd jobs.
The question as to the origin of
the gasoline tractor arose, and after
some discussion was settled by "Rip"
Reagan who cited a news item from
one of the Sunday papers.
Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores
of the Engineering unit who are not
in the S.A.M.E. do not realize they
are missing one of the most interest­ing
phases of Engineer work..
L. N. Duncan, director of the ex­tension
service and P. O. Davis, ag-ricultui'al
editor, will attend the
seventh annual meeting of the Ameri­can
Farm Bureau on December 2
at Chicago.
Wilsonians Elect Officers
At Meeting Tuesday Nite
At the last meeting of the Wilson-ian
Literary Socitey Tuesday Nov.
24 the election of officers was hold
for the second quarter of the year,
The following officers were elected
G. B. Phillips President, he being
elected by a unanimous vote having
no opposition in the field, the society
partly showing their appreciation for
the great work he has done as Vice
President of the society, being chair­man
of the Programme committee
each week. Miss Sudie Dowell was
elected Vice president, Miss Eloise
Floyd was elected Secretary, S. R.
Gibbons was elected Treasurer, P.owe
Johnson was elected Sergeant at
Arms, J. Edwards was elected critic,
G. D. Salter was elected Plainsman
Reporter.
Phillips presided as president im­mediately
after his election succeed­ing
J. M. Edwards the retiring pre
sident. The society by rising gave
a vote of thanks for the retiring
president and his officers'who guid­ed
the destiny of the society so
splendidly during the last three
months. Some very unusual pro-grammes
%have been featured and it
is hoped that even better ones will
be featured during the new regime.
The attendance at the society has
decreased slightly during the last two
meetings and it is hoped that all
members will be more punctual in
their attendance in the future. Quite
a few of the members have failed to
pay their semester-dues, doubtlessly
i t is an over sight on the individuals
part, but this over sight can be re­deemed
by paying your dues at the
next meeting.
AH new members are cordially in­vited
to attend the meetings as a real
treat is in store. The society meets
every Tuesday night in room 301
of the Main Building.
Auburn Dean of Women
Will Not Go to Chicago
With deep regret Miss Agnes Ellen
Harris, dean of women at Auburn,
and state home demonstration agent
for Alabama, is rejecting an invita­tion
to be present at a luncheon at
which Mrs. Calvin Coolidge is to be
the guest of honor. The luncheon
will be served at the Shermen hotel
in Chicago on December the seventh.
The invitation for Miss Harris
came from Mr. O. E. Bradford, pres­ident
of the'American Farm Bureau
Federation. President Coolidge is to
speak at the annual convention of
this organization on December 7th,
and Mrs. Coolidge will accompany
him to Chicago. While he is attend­ing
a luncheon of the Farm Bureau
leaders, Mrs. Coolidge will be with
the Farm bureau women.
In her letter declining the invita­tion,
Miss Harris said, "Alabama wo­men

The first monthly Friendship
Council was held at the Touchdown
Dining Hall on Friday evening, Nov­ember
20. A number of talks were
made and the plans for the ensuing
year were discussed.
C. B. Burgoyne, president of the
Y. W. C. A., spoke on the Purpose of
the Friendship Council in which he
also outlined the plans for the years'
work, and some of the things that
the Friendship Council are trying to
put over to the students this year.
Plans are on foot to have one week
of evangelistic services sometime dur­ing
the year. Thre'e minute reports
were made by Royce Crowford on the
discussion groups, O. T. Ivey on the
Team Work of the Captains, and J.
B. Leslie on the Team work of the
Lieutenants. The World Court was
discussed Pro and Con by Prof. Ward
while Dr. George Petrie gave a brief
sketch of the Y. M. C. A. The Orange
division is headed by F. S. Arant
major and ten captains. Each captain
has five lieutenants and each lieu­tenant
has from three to ten or fif­teen
men with organized discussion
groups. The Blue division headed by
L. L. Aldridge as major has ten
captains and is organized in the same
manner as the Orange division*
A contest is to be conducted fox
the next five weeks between*
companies. The company having the
highest average will be given free
tickets to the last banquet to be held

Alabama Represented
at Livestock Show
Alabama is well represented at the
International Livestock Show in Chi­cago
the week November 30 to Dec­ember
6. The animal husbandry De­partment
of the Agricultural college
secured passes for fourteen people
who are in attendance at this show.
Among this number are five club
boys and four students in agriculture
here. Professors J. C. Grimes and
F. W. Burns, members of the depart­ment,
made the trip, and the exten­sion
service is represented by Frank
Boyd, extension agronomist, and J.
C. Lowery, state club leader. L. T.
Wells, extension dairyman, has gone
as representative of the extension
service and also of the chambers of
commerce of Montgomery and Sel-ma.
He has charge of the black belt
exhibit which was shipped to Chicago
from'that section. It was sent under
the auspices of the chambers of com­merce
of these two cities. John Blake
county agent of Dallas county, went
to represent the county and as­sist
Mr. Wells with the exhibit.
The expenses of three of the boys
was paid by the Alabama Power Com­pany,
each of them being livestock
boys. Wesley Dassinger, a cotton club
boy of Dale county, won first place
in the club show at the Montgomery
fair which entitled him to the trip.
Bill Dill, of Franklin county, was
sent by the Illinois Central railroad.
The three boys who .were sent by
the Alabama Power company are: Joe
Givhan, Dallas county; David John­son,
Montgomery county, and D. L.
Yarbrough, Autauga county. Givhan
had the grand champion fat steer,

OLD FOOTBALL UNFOLDS
HISTORY OF CHECKERED PAST
A lusty "War Eagle" was bellow­ed
forth on Forty Second Street in
New York City the other day, and at
the same moment another Loyal Au­burn
man was sitting in his office
on Thirty Fourth Street and from his
heart was wending its way a "Give
'EM HELL, Auburn." The cause of
this sudden outburst of Auburn
spirit was an old but not "disreputable
looking football which was the center
of attraction in a window display"0f 1904 in New York City and, hav
at Alex Taylor's, athletic outfitters
on Forty Second street. Above this
old pigskin, whose ancient history
"''' unfolded"in the' paragraphs
below was a placard reading: "This
football was used by Alabama Poly­technic
against the University of
Georgia in 1904.
A jSarty of the~sfe&ye-»pi5ode-wsnt
into the store and asked about the
history of the grid relic, and learned
that it was the property of a Mr.
Hall, who at one time was maffager
of the Auburn football team. The
incident was mentioned to us and a
letter located Mr. Hall who proved
to be Leonard P. "Nubby" Hall, '04
manager of the . baseball team in
1904, manager of the football team
in 1904 and Captain of the baseball
team in 1905. Mr. Hall played un­der
Mike Donahue during his first
year at Auburn in which Auburn
won the Southern Championship in
football and beat Georgia Tech 4-3
and 1-0 for the S. I. A. A. Cham­pionship
in baseball. The following
are the scores made by the football
team in 1904: Auburn 5, Clemson 0;
Auburn 19, University of Nashville
0; Auburn 12, Georgia Tech 0; Au­burn
29, University of Alabama 5;
Auburn 17, University of Georgia 6.
Mr. Hall is in the Real Estate busi­ness
in New York and we quote in
part his letter below:
Auburn Wins Championship
"Up to and including 1903 Auburn
football supremacy had become so
startlingly challenged and our foot­ball
teams so apparently on the down
grade that a complete change in
coaching system was decided upon
and that great and faithful Auburn
alumnus, Billy Williams, then resid­ing
in New York City, was called
upon to visit New Haven and get the
great Mike Murphy, of Yale, to re­commend
a coach. This is how we
acquired our own little Mike Dona­hue,
whom the illustrious Mike Mur­phy
recommended to us in preference
to any varsity player, despite the
fact that our Mike, owing to lack of
weight, did not make the varsity at
Yale. The wisdom of Mike Mur­phy's
recommendation is best shown
by the fact that in our Mike's first
year at Auburn we finished with a
clean slate and attained a ranking
to which Auburn is, and always will
be, entitled. ,
Only one Score Against Alabama
In Baseball
It was my good fortune to be the
manager of Mike's first Auburn foot­ball
team ('04) as-well as captain
of his first Auburn baseball team
('05) and to the best of my recollec­tion
we did no worse than tie for
the S. I. A. A. championship in foot­ball,
but I am under the impression
that we won a clean-cut claim to
the title, with only one score against
us, and we won the S. I. A. A.
championship in baseball by defeat­ing
Ga. Tech. in Atlanta 1 to 0
and 4 to 3. I spent the summer
lamps to Award
Trophy to Best
All-Round Girl
Trophy cup will be awarded the
best all-round girl student at Au­burn
by the Order of Lamps, senior
women's honorary society, Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. This action
was taken at the last meeting of the
society in Smith hall.
The program included welcome ad­dress
by Mrs. Margaret Blair, talks
and songs, those participating on the
program were Miss Elizabeth Floyd,
Dorothy Duggar, Grace Gardner,
Alma Bentley, Mrs. Mayo. The honor
system was discussed.
The Lamps was founded at Alaba­ma
Polytechnic Institute in 1924 and
is headed this year by Mrs. Margaret

and baseball captain, I was-naturally

me I could return to dear -old Au­burn
to "take a post-graduate course,
so while in New York I secured the
agency for Alexander Taylor Sport­ing
Goods, with a 4 3 1-3 per cent
commission on__all goods sold, which
commission I naturally donated to
the Athletic Association in order to
help defray expenses. This-probably
will surprise you, but in those days
we had quite a job making ends meet
and heroic measures had to be re­stored
to in order to defray ex­penses
and instead of the 25,000
which now attended your big Atlanta
game with admission at perhaps
$1.50 we thought we were playing
to a mob when 5000 turned out at
an admission of 75 cents. •
Ball Used in Georgia Game
The football referred to was used
in one ,of our important games of
1904, but I could not make an affi­davit
that it was used in the game
with the University of Georgia, al­though
I believe this to be the case.
My fourteen year old son, Leonard;
Jr., has used this football every year
for the last six or seven years and
it still is in good condition and usa­ble.
In this connection it might be
interesting to draw a comparison be­tween
the opportunities and conven­iences
enjoyed by the youngster of
today in sport with those of twenty-eight
years ago when your corres­pondent
was the age of his son. I
reside in the town of Scarsdale,
twenty-one miles from the heart of
New York City and in connection
with the high school there is a seven­teen
acre athletic field, with base­ball
diamond, football field, out-of-doors
basketball court, etc., whereas,
during my day, I had to walk two
miles in my home town, Birming­ham,
Ala., to a ball field. In Scars-dale
there are two grammar schools
and each has a six acre play ground.
Imagine that during my youth!

expressed some surprise, not to say con­cern,
over the fact that Auburn has almost
ceased to attempt to gain through the
line, and have taken to the overhead type
of offensive. They point out in great con­sternation
that in the Vanderbilt and Tech
games the Tigers were greatly outclassed
in yardage and first downs, but never-the
less managed to eke out a victory and
a tie. Some even breathe the short and
ugly work "luck." And strangely enough,
not much is spoken of the many games
that the Plainsmen have lost in the past
three or four years, due to the policy of
the opposing teams of waiting for the
breaks, which generally came before the
end of the game. If a team plays defen­sively
through the greater part of the
game, and then seizes its only opportuni­ties
to score and makes the best of them,
and is then called a lucky team, then the
Plainsmen are lucky players. If, however,
the team that plays thusly is spoken of
as a good football teams, then Auburn has
a good team. And, in all seriousness,
and with due premeditation and fore­thought,
we believe that the Tigers are not
only a good team but a great one. The
New Auburn Team made its appearance
in the Vanderbilt game, and, unless all
signs fail, the winner of the Southern Con­ference
crown next year will be the team
that is able to better Auburn's record.

THE 1925 GRIDIRON SEASON
it is doubtful that any season since the
.ginning of football in Auburn has ever
sn marked with more upsets than has
^yjg .just recorded.* To start off with
for a fair season, and then to
trip up badly in the Texas game, come
back and put up a great game against one
of the strongest teams in the country,
ithen barely managesto beat out a supposed­ly
weak foe, get the worst beating in his­tory
from Georgia, and then to come back
strong in the last two games—these are
the~feats uf the 1925 Tigers.
In cold-blooded figures the Tiger season
|as been pretty much of a success. Fac-l
"a heavy schedule, including one inter-
Etional contest, the Tigers won five, lost
jtte, and tied one. Not such an impres-feebrd,
possibly, but the best that

RAT RULES
Whose duty is it to enfore them? Some
?ay the Sophomore class. Perhaps, but I
think that it falls on the Frat to which
the rat belongs or on the old men at the
I ranch where he stays. I know my rats,
you yours, but neither of us know them
all. The only way to enforce . the rules
is for each and every upper classman to
take it on himself to see that the rats he
knows respect them. It is true that we
have a Vigilance Committee but they can­not
function unless we give them some­thing
to work on. So come lets get be­hind
the rules and make them amount to
something.
Just to mention a few that need watch­ing.
Did you know that there are at least
three rats who have never had there hair
cut? It is true that these names have
been turned in, but no action has been
taken. How long has it been since the
rats were given permission to jay walk
and go with out rat caps? And don't for­get
that bull-rats also must have their
hair cut. Now all together fellows lets
either make the rules respected or call
them off, and we all know that it would­n't
do to call them off.

Institute, at-Auburn, is one of the
most striking examples of cooperation that
is ever seen in any case of its kind where a
college is located directly in a town. Both
realize the need of cooperation and of the
joint value derived from it, and where the
act of operating jointly is carried to such
an extent as it is in this case the value is
unlimited.
Picture the two, the college and the town
both working against the other, unwilling
to do anything that might help the other
and striving to get ahead in a financial
way or other ways. Imagine the tragic
end that would befall both or the damage
that would be caused by a feudal attitude.
Suppose professors were barred from the
civic clubs, or the town council, or the citi­zens
barred from the college picture show,
or if the college authorities prohibited
buying books from the town bookstore..
What would be the result if the business'
men refused to cooperate with the two
college publications, The Plainsman, and
The Glomerata in regard to advertising, or
if the town authorities would permit liquor
to be sold? Imagine the paralyzed industry
of the town if the students were housed
and fed in the college dormitories and the
groceries bought from a wholesale house.
After taking a glimpse over these things,
it can easily be seen wherein lies the good
of a cooperation. In all these things the
town of Auburn and the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute work in absolute harmony;
each glad and willing to help the other
when there is a chance. The result is that
the two enjoy all the privileges and bene­fits
that can be realized through this joint
working.
Beginning with the town council, com­posed
of five members, the body that makes
the laws and governs the town, there are
two of these professors in the college.
This gives the college a fair representation
in the working of the town government,
and in making the laws for their mutual
benefit.
The chief of police of the town,, one of
his duties being to appoint the police and
night watchmen, realizing the need the
college students have of money, appointed
a student at the head of this work and gave
him the power to appoint his assistants.
These students whose duties are to watch
the college buildings as well as the town
buildings receives half of his salary from
the college and one half from the town. _ lines that are interesting to the students
These men play a great part in ridding the
town of "bootleg" and gambling "joints".
Their report is made each day to both the
college and the town authorities.
The city engineer is a professor of high­way
engineering and receives a nominal
salary from the town for his services in
this position. He is consulted on all plans
and projects for paving, road-building, etc.,
and does all the surveying for work of this
nature. When the sidewalk pavement was
laid in Auburn, it was a result of his work
to a great extent.
The water supply of Auburn is another
excellent example of the cooperation be­tween
the town and the college. The col­lege
-handles the water from the springs to
the town, who sells it to the customers and
they handle the business end of it. In
this way it is made easier for both and yet
insures them of ample water supply at a
small cost. This water is tested by the
college chemist and is kept absolutely pure.
It is due to the excellent water the town
affords that there are no epidemics caused
as a result of drinking impure water.
The light and power system is handled
through the college. The Alabama Power
Company line comes through Auburn and
the power is sold to the college. They
furnish the town and college with light
and power at practically the cost of oper­ation,
and collect for this themselves at
the end of each month. Students are
employed to read meters, fix wires, and
tend to the general upkeep of the system.
Should the current go off the college will
put their own plant in operation that they
maintain for this purpose and furnish
power for the town and college as long
as the other power is off.
Auburn now has adequate means of
cutting down the annual fire loss. Prof.
Hixon, of the engineering department, has
spent some time in building.a fire depart­ment
and he has recently bought a fire
engine—Auburn's first. Co-operation of
the college and town was featured through­out
as the purchase was made jointly. The
machine is placed in the power plant and
is operated by the student on duty there.
One hundred dollars Jias been spent for
improvements. The pump is a three cyl-indered
affair mounted on a Ford chassis,
and will generate a pressure around one
hundred" and fifty pounds. The truck is
equipped to carry five hundred feet of
hose, the majority of which was donated
by t^e town. The chemical apparatus
consists of two steel tanks containing soda
water and sulphuric acid. When turned
upside down, the two mix and chemical
action generates a pressure of approx­imately
two hundred pounds. These tanks
are equipped with rubber hose one hundred
fifty feet in length. In the building of
this truck together the co-operation is
shown in a remarkable way. It shows
both working together in an effort to cut
down the annual loss of property by fire
and to make the town safe against this
pestilence .
The Young Men's Christian Association,
a part of the activities of the college, main­tain
the "Y" rooms in the basement of
Langdon Hall. Here the students find a
place to spend their spare hours and enjoy
some recreation. While these rooms are
kept mainly for college students, citizens
of the town are invited to "hangout" at
these rooms and are made to feel them­selves
welcomed.
An important factor in enforcing the
law of the college is the Men's Student
Council, composed of representatives of
the various classes. They report to the
town authorities infringements of the law
that does not come under their jurisdiction.
In return, the police and night watchmen
report to the council any breaking of the
college rules by the students. By com­bining
their efforts, "bootlegging" and the
other lawless practices have been practi­cally
abolished in Auburn.
The college owns and operates the pic­ture
show in Auburn, and have charge of
the building where all plays, shows, etc.,
are staged. . The college puts on the best
class of picture shows—ones that have been
censored by the college and found to have
the right influence upon the student body.
This could not be accomplished to any de­gree
of success if the town insisted upon
operating a picture theatre in competition
with the college. This plan enables the
college to regulate the hour and the nights
of shows so that it will not interfere with
the work of the students.
A splendid example of co-operation is
shown in the department of secondary edu­cation
and the Auburn High School. In
teaching the principles of secondary edu­cation
it is necessary for the student to
have actual experience along the line of
teaching. In order that this might be ac­complished
the high school allows this de­partment
to send students over to hold
classes and thereby gain some practical
experience. This scheme is beneficial to
both as it enables the teachers on duty
to have a little spare time off duty and a
chance for recreation.
The churches of Auburn are especially
connected with the college. They extend
personal invitations to the students arid
members of the faculty to attend the ser­vices
and the lectures are always along
as well as the townspeople. Many of the
Sunday School classes are taught by mem­bers
of the faculty and in some instances
classes have as their teachers students of
the college. Dr. Spright Dowell, president
of the college, is teacher of the Baraca
class of the Baptist Sunday school. Dr.
R. W. Miles, pastor of the Auburn Pres­byterian
Church, is also a professor of
English in the college. Rev. Davidson, of
the Methodist Church is special pastor to
the students. At various times during the
scholastic year the preachers are invited to
be the main speakers at convocation. Last
year, when one of the churches was having
a revival, Langdon Hall was used to hold
the services due to the lack of space in the
particular church building.
When the Federation of Women's Clubs
held their annual meeting here the Auburn
women were confronted with the problem
of housing the visiting women. The Frat­ernity
houses were offered to the Woman's
Club to be used as they saw fit. These
women co-operate with the students by
lending their assistance at various functions
as chaperones, etc.
The co-operation that exists between the
college publications and the business men
of the town is unusual. These men are
always willing and ready to assist these
publications by advertising in them, and
the publications take the place to a great
extent of a town paper by printing the
current news.
Auburn's two civic clubs, the Lions and
the Villagers, are a mixture, of business
men and professors, with probably the
professors in the majority. The president
of the Lions club is a member of the
faculty, Prof. W. H. Eaton. The Villagers
have as their president Major John E.
Hatch, also a member of the faculty.
In all these things and in many others,
the co-operation that exists between the
two is wonderful, and they are truly work­ing
for the common good of both.
i WITH OTHER COLLEGES H
Not long ago the able and eminent Dr.
Swann revisited the University of Ken­tucky
and in order that he might carry
away with him a second impression of
Kentucky hospitality. Miss Franke issued
cordial invitations to all freshman and
sophomore women students to hear him
at Dicker hall. Now it is an old university
custom to take the roll at required lectures
and when it was discovered that 37 at­tractive
young women were missing they
received another even more cordial invita­tion
from Miss Franke.
Some Good Excuses'
Of the 37 called to tender worthy and
sufficient excuses 14 were able to explain
the matter satisfactorily but the rest fur­nished
the following data:
Five failed to look in the mail box until
two days later and explained to Miss
Franke that had they only known they
would have been only too glad to have come
and that they were sure they missed an
inspiring lecture.
One fell tfsleep several hours before
the time for the lecture and as a result
of loss of sleep attributed to studying six
hours theiright before, awoke just in time
for dinner.
One was very ill as the result of a head­ache
and since she thought that her atten­tion
would be diverted from the lecture
failed to arrive.
One who sent her "boy friend" for her
mail never received it,-Probably the -Mend
mistook a/'lnotice for a love note from a
rival and tore it up in disdain.
The mind is often a blank when other
subjects take the place of study as was
the case with one fair lady who just forgot.
Another excuse was that the co-ed had
to try out for Strollers. Wonder what
made her_make such a break when Stroll­er
tryouts had been finished a week ago?
Dates Conflicted
As was the case with a pretty blond
haired freshman, her dates conflicted and
she thought the picture show would be
much more entertaining.
Too strenuous walking, between Patter­son
hall and the university campus infect­ed
one girl's foot and it was necessary for
her to keep off of it until that night, for
the dance.
One went down town by mistake—she
had intended to wend her way toward
Dicker hall and got lost.
Two were there but did not sign up—
probably they slipped out to meet mother?
Five disregarded Miss Franke's invita­tion.
Woe be unto them.-
In the future, it would be advistable to
think of better or more important excuses
than these—attend the lecture and enjoy
a social hour with the speakers.
A contest will be held at Johns Hopkins
to determine the most "ramshackledy"
car at the school, which can move by its
own power. The winner will be christened
"King Hopkins" and will receive $5.00 of­fered
by the News-Letter, the literary
publication of the school.

RATTLES
And Green Ribbons To Be Worn
By Co-Frosh During 'Baby Week' Begin­ning
Next Monday
At the University of Cincinnatti.
"Baby Week" beginning Monday, Nov­ember
23, will be marked by the appearan­ces
of rattles and green ribbons which are
to be worn daily by Co-frosh. Rattles, which
will be needed at the Trial and Freshman
Reception, are still on sale by members of
the Vigilance Committee. Rattles will be
taken for admission at the trial. Fresh­man
girls must put their names on the
rattles if they want them returned accord­ing
to Virginia Crary, chairman of Wo­man's
Vigilance committee.
A general Convocation was held Friday
after the usual group convocations. Fresh­man
girls were urged by Ranold West to
attend the Miami game in a body. A sec­tion
in the stadium will be reserved for
the Freshman girls by Boyd Chambers,
Director of Athletics. Freshman girls
are also urged to bring their red and black
mops. _ . ,..-. -. . -. -~_ -
Punishment was inflicted Friday noon
on lawless Freshmen girls. They were
made to wash "the cars of the Council of
Six. "The rule of the Vigilance Commit­tee
will be at an end soon," said Virginia
Crary. "Co-frosh should not forget their
manners and let down on their school
spirit, which in the past has been good,
and it is hoped, will be demonstrated at its
highest at the Miami Game, Thanksgiving
day."
Tickets for the Trial may be obtained
from any member of the Vigilance Com­mittee
at the price of twenty-five eents.
Fred and Frederika
Went for a stroll one day;
Towards pots of sweet paprika
She led the youth astray.
"Though I'm trying to get thinner,"
Quoth the bashful maiden shy,
"I feel the lack of dinner—
Just one slice of onion pie."
But when Fred'rika had once started,
Into bliss her soul departed—
And the tears like gumdrops smarted.
As. poor Fred his kale regarded.
So with a sigh, as she sat dreaming
Of the pie the waiter pitched her,
Here below has kindly ditched 'rr.

If you'se jes' axommon tail,

Hold Radio Dance
Novel entertainment for the first all
"U" dance at the University of Minnesota
was a radio. Many of the best orchestras
in the country furnished the music for
the "free-for-all" event.
Do You Know
It strikes us very much in the light as
though something was missing about the
fair village of the plains. "Paradise Lost,"
in other words. All the rats seem to have
lost their Rat caps. It is a curious fact
hut during the football season all the rats
eeem to think that they do not have to ob­serve
the rules at all. And with that at­titude
comes up again the ever present
question of whether rat rules are a good
thing or not. If they are not why do we
have them and if they are why do we not
enforce them. It seems as though some
decision could be reached and something
done about this question. Arguing in fa­vor
of having rat rules it might be said
that they really have a good influence on
the forming of the freshman's impressions
of college. Needless to say they have a
good influence on his conduct. But going
beyond that they form a background that
will influence him through the rest of
his college career. If you want to paint
the picture in an allegorical way we might
even say that they show to him that there
are certain problems to be met in life
that he will have to strive to overcome, and
that he cannot hope to overcome these
until he has obtained a certain amount of
education. It is the same old question of
the fitness of the individual for the battle
of life. Do you think that the Freshman
will be as good a student throughout his
college course if he is allowed to run
free in the first year, and enter his second
year all puffed up over the big man that
he was in the first. The rat rules act
as an ounce of prevention so that the
pound of cure will not have to be adminis­tered
during the succeeding years. But
the present laxness is in all probability
due to the football season, and we hope
that after this is over and we have beaten
Tech the powers that be will begin to
tighten down on the all too slimy freshman.
What is the use of trying to write a
column on subjects that do not deal with
football when the great game of the sea­son
is but two days past. It is impossible
to find any news that is not directly con­nected
with that event. We heard one of
the best pep meetings the other day that
we have ever heard in Auburn and the
pep meeting was conducted by one of the
most popular professors in Auburn.
"What," he said, "is the use of trying
to hold a class when both you and I are
thinking of nothing but that game that
is to be played Thursday." He went on to
remind us of the various games in which
Auburn had been doped to lose by big
scores and in which they had turned about
and upset all the dope. In that category
he^included that great game that we play­ed
witirVaifderbilt scarce two weeks ago.
And once again when we were playing
Vandy that unconquerable spirit lead us
to victory. Those things are' not freaks.
They are the visible effects of that old
college spirit, which enters into the play­ers
soul and moves him to do things that
he himself would not believe possible in
his saner moments. It may seem funny
to us who are trained daily to notice only
those things which are tangible that such
things as thought and spirit are transmis­sible.
In fact we have no real proof that
they are but can only go on the effects that
are sometimes produced, and which can be
explained only by spirit transmission. And
when a player receives that mysterious im­pulse
it is no use to try and stop him. He
is invincible. He knows that he can do it.
He believes with all his heart and soul
that he can go through that line for a
touchdown and he is going to do it though
there are twenty teams on the field to
stop him. Such is the stuff that martyrs
are made of and all those great men that
are inspired with momentary genius.
We see that we have a budding young
steeple chaser in our midst. Perhaps you
do not kna^ it but a daring young rat,
for the purijf
Vsum of one dollar, climbed
to the top of the tank in town and spun
around on the bty at the top a couple of
times and came down and collected. Not so
bad as far as nerve'^oes, but rather risky
from the point of health for both the
spectators and the performer. Still boys
will be boys and we suppose that rats will
be devils.
"But," protested the new arrival as St.
Peter handed him a harp, "I can't play this
instrument; I never practiced on earth."
"I know you didn't, that's why you are
here."—Critograph.
No more formals will be included in the
list of fraternity social events at the Uni­versity
of North Dakota. A successful
student campaign was recently carried out
for the abolishment of fraternity formals.

Bucknell was forced to wear a double

steady work. As a craftsman—a worker who uses
brains—he is well worth his daily wage. But as a
common laborer, matching brawn against motor­ized

With a fifty-horsepower motor, for instance, one

is paid far more for his brains than his brawn.
The great need of this and future generations is

that I would never be a base­ball
player. Sports play an important
part in college life as well as all
through life, more so today than ever
but who could forget the classroom
and the faculty at dear old Auburn?
What a faculty Dr. Thach, Prof.
Dunston, Prof,. Ross, Dr. Smith, Prof.
Grenshaw, Dr. Petrie and all through
the list, without exception. How in­delibly
they all remain in my mem­ory,
what a sacrifice they have made
for their country and what a noble
calling is theirs. There is one Au­burn
and only one Auburn, but, alas,
the demands of business are such
that I am out of touch with it ex­cept
in memory.
As I sit here and write, the good
women of Auburn who do so much:
for Auburn students are constantly

without exception, wives of the fac­ulty

The feature of the meeting of the
Wilsonian Literary Society last Tues­day
night was the debate on "Re­solved,
That the United States Should
Enter the World Court." The af­firmative
side was ably represented
by Miss Hazel Arant and W. S. Heron
while the negative side was equally
well represented by J. B. Stewart and
W. L. DeBardleben. The judges
were Miss Sarah Holliday, H. T. Win-gate,
S. L. Morrow, W. C. Hurt, and
Gerald D. Salter.
The foremost important f a c ts
brought out by the affirmative side
were that the world court will settle
all international disputes as it has so
splendidly done in the past, this big
agreement follows exactly the Amer­ican
principle of settling disputes.
Numerous important affairs that
have a direct bearing upon the world
could easily be settled without argu­ments
and controversies. The United
States should join the world court by
all means to continue its good policy
of government as it has so splendidly
done in the past. To show that the
league is a good organization and one
that will continue it has averted sev­eral
wars and has three years of suc­cessful
work to its credit. The
United States can do no more than
any other power to foster world peace
if she accepts the invitation to join.
The world court is originally an
American idea coming from the
Hague Court which was financed by
our own Andrew Carnegie. To join
the world court a nation does not
have to become a member of the
league of nations as the relations
between the league and the world
court are entirely different. Not
tow judges on the court are of the
same nationality which insures a
square deal to all powers. The most
practical—step for avoiding future
wars and insuring world peace is for
the United States to join and coincide

The negative tfd* bawd *» »ata
*rgum«ata acatast joining *b* world
court-as it would be a violatioa of
the Monroe Doctrine. If America
joins it will help Europe in an eco­nomic
way, and we have helped Eu­rope
enough, by lending them billions
of dollars the greater part of which
will never be paid. One big reason
for not joining is there are an in­sufficient
number of judges on the
court, there being only eleven regular
ones, which does not insure a fair
deal in many respects. The world
court is financed by the League of
Nations and it would be practically
the same thing as joining the league
if we joined the world court. Each
nation has only one representative
therefore the United States would
not receive justice as most all the
nations of Europe are mad with
America today due to the reparations
j debt. The world court has jurisdic­tion
to enforce and enact treaties
i which is strictly against the American
point of view.
The judges after due deliberation
i decided in favor of the affirmative*
^ side.
Following the debate J. M. Earnest
gave a very interesting and witty
jtalk on "Why Flappers Flap," He
reached the conclusion that this gen­eration
is just as good as the past
lone disregarding the fact that we
have "so many Flappers to contend
{with today. Miss Mildred Locke
concluded the program by giving a
reading which was thoroughly enjoy­ed
by all.
The matter of buying the pins for

A Lesson in Psychology
A N OLD CHIEF of the Pueblo
C / J . Indians, on his first visit to
Chicago, was taken to the top of
the new Tribune Tower Building.
On leaving the elevator, he turned \ f 1
to his guide and asked, "When are
we going up?" When he was told
that he was already on the top
floor, the old man declared flatly
that he did not believe it, because
he had climbed no ladders;—nor
could he be persuaded until he
looked over the city spread out
beneath him.
It's all a matter of association. The
Chief had always associated the II*r*?!lll! * i i i l i
idea of "going up" with the lad­ders
of a Pueblo. In a similar fash­ion,
to people in modern cities
the world over, the idea of ascent
is inextricably bound up with the
name of Otis.

Eight Men Take Their Last Stand With Auburn Team Thanksgiving
"BUCK". SPINKS
Mr. Leslie Spinks, who in the off
season resides in Thomasville, has
played three years on the Tiger
team. We thought he was good in
his year and he was. He thought he
was better in his second season, and
so he was. We didn't think it was
possible for him to get any better
in his third year, but he came out
and played as he never played be­fore,
and if he isn't included on the
~AlJ-Southern team, there is some-thing-^
adically wrong. Auburn has
had many great wingmen, but few,
if any, have played better than the
Thomasville Terror. -
P TECH FROSH DOWN
AUBURN YEARLINGS
•riie" auburn Kittens, rounding out
[ I [ their apprenticeship under the
Freshman banner of Coach K^d
Brown, went down to defeat in the
final game of the season. The' Ti­gers
were forced to bow to the out-
. _. fit of Don Miller, in a "hotly contest-
- ed game, which ended Tech 9; Au-r
burn 0. The miniature Jackets talli-ied
all of their pointers in the first
half by means of a recovered fum­ble
which netted a safety and a per­fectly
executed forward pass follow­ed
-by a seven yard run for touch­down.
A certain young man, named Torn
who should function well later on in
a big Jacket uniform, proceeded to
horn in on the situation when he
grabbed a ten yard pass from Smith,
his team mate, and dashed the re­maining
distance to plant the oval be­hind
the Tiger goal line. The Tech
halfhack lived up to advance notices
and presented those present with one
of the best exhibitions of alacrity and
speed seen on Grant Field this sea­son.
Tech started her premier offensive
after she received the ball in the
middle of the field in the first quar­ter.
By means of three successive
first downs .the ball *was moved up
thirty yards nearer the Tiger goal
line. A few more thrusts sent the
oval resting under the shadow of the
goal posts. The action began when
Horn started around the right flank
but fumbled the ball. An Auburn
man then recovered but allowed the
ball to jar out of his clutches and it
bounded over the goal line. In the
general free for all scramble that
resulted an Auburn man recovered
and was forced down behind the goal
line, giving the Techsters a safety.
The Tigers came back strong and
a few moments later, carried the ball
to the Tech 10 yard stripe, only to
see it go over to the opposition
through a fumble. The Tigers gained
"control of the ball to make their
drive, when Wattwood broke through
the Tech line of defense and inter­posed
his poundage in front-of one of
Parham's boots. The ball bounced

"CLABBER" WILLIAMS'
The gentleman from Chattanooga,
whose likeness is pictured above, can
claim with some reason the title of
"King of Auburn Place-Kickers."
For he has done some deadly execu­tion
with this method of attack, and
has gathered in several games on the
Auburn side of the ledger by the use
of the educated brogan. Other play-ears
may" have rung up a greater
quantity of field goals, but none can
exceed Buckshot in quality and time­liness
of performance. During the
past two years Col. Williams was
responsible for seven field goals
from placement, making an average
of thirty-four yards per kick, which
is some kicking percentage.
The longest boot to be registered
by Williams was against Clemson
last year, when he parked one over

"PEA" GREEN
Mr. Green, the handsome citizen
of Bellwood, Ala., is noted, among
other things, as being the man who
outran Gil Reese. Besides this feat,
Peahead has achieved some renown
as a kicker, end runer, and receiver
of forward passes. Green leaves these
halls of learning after this season,
and in passing on, opens up a gap
in the Tiger backfield that will be
hard to replace.

the length of the field from the goal-line.
Just to show that it was no ac­cident,
Mr. Williams booted another
with the same ease and nonchalance
later in the game, this time the dis­tance
-amounting to forty-five yards.
Besides these two kicking efforts,
Williams proved his versatility by
bucking the* ball over for the only
touchdown of the day and adding
the point 'after touchdown. Two
weeks later, Buckshot poked over a
twenty,-five yard goal against Ho­ward,
and on the following pay-day
made the only score of the L. S. U.
game with a beautiful thirty-five yard
effort.
Two of the Souths most historic,
battled to a tie at Grant Field Tur­key
Day when the Auburn Tiger met
Tech for the 26th time on Grant
Field. Tech was first to score,
pushing' over a touchdown in the
third quarter. The Tigers came back
after a great uphill fight to shove
over a touchdown and tie the score,
which ended one of the most color
ful battles seen on Grant'Field. The
last few moments were played with
Tech fighting desperately to regain
her lost ground and the contest end­ed
7 to 7.
Add fairious combinations, Tux­worth
to Greene. These two lads
were highly instrumental in Auburn
coming from arrears to tie the high­ly
touted men of Alexander and in­cidentally
carry the ball behind the
last Tech white stripe for the first
time that the feat has been accom­plished
since the machine of 1922
was broken up. To ".Clabber" Wil­liams
goes the distinction of place-kicking
his last effort in a Tiger uni­form
straight and true to insure a
tie with the Atlantan's after the
crowd was in an uproar. Williams has
FENY CRANE
Another Tiger performer to round
out three years of service in a Ben­gal
uniform is Feny Crane, who
played his last game' .when the Ti­gers
downed the Commodores. Feny
formerly held forth at quarter, but
this fall Morey decided that the di­minutive
Birminghamer could be used
to better advantage at one of the
halves. The Magic City lad is an ex­cellent
broken field runner, and does
ment with his mates one point be­hind
and depending on his right hoof
to crown the efforts of practically
a whole season's work, and with the
crowd throbbing in the pitch of ex­citement—
a repetition of what hap­pened
in the previous game against
Vandy—the Chattanoogan, sent the
oval from Tuxworth's hand sailing
over and through the uprights to
give him and his mates a tie in his
last game against the staunchest op­ponent
of the Bengal, Georgia Tech.

bold enough to concede the men of
Morey a look in. With Green step­ping
hurriedly across the Tech goal
line, Tuxworth moved backwords as
he did against Vanderbilt, and, es-to
his outstretched paws.
The Techmen scored the first
touchdown of the game in the third
quarter, when the first break of the
game went their way. The Tigers
were about to inaugurate a drive
towards Tech territory when a lateral
pass was gobbled up by Johnny Marsh
all on the Tiger 38 yard stripe. Bar­ron
and Wycoff chipped off enough
yardage to make a first down on
the 25 yard line. Doug and Murry

Williams again celebrated Home­coming
Game by adding two more
field goals, the Gobblers of V. P. I.
being the victims this time, the two
kicks adding sixty-three yards- to his
rapidly growing distance total. Clab­ber
proved himself very useful
against Howard, by scoring the point
after touchdown, this point proving
to be the winning margin later on in
the contest. Then came the memor­able
game against Vandy when Wil­liams
made the, very necessary point

having gathered up three points in
its short journey. Nothing has ever
been watched so intently as has that
little pigskin, for the result of the
game, together with all the glory,
honor, and prestige, to say nothing
of a few side bets hinged on the
ability of the pigskin to travel be­tween
the goal posts.

all of the way and played as good
a game despite advance notices, as
any Tiger team ever played on the
famous grid rectangle of the south­land.
Spinks performing at right
end for the last time, gave as nifty
exhibition as has been seen in many
a moon. "Buck" broke through on
numerous occasions to smear Tech
plays all over the field anywhere
from the line of scrimmage back ten
yards in rear. Greene, who has al­ways
been a thorn in the side of
the Techsters, played a wonderful
game, concluding his career in a
j blaze of glory.
For Tech Douglass Wycoff was
I the shining light. The Tech cap­tain,
playing his last game for his
Alma Mater, gave an all around ex­hibition.
Not only did Jie gain 139
yards for Tech, but he scored his
mate's only touchdown, did all of
the necessary punting for a grand
average of 51 yards, and was a bear
on defense.-
The Tigers fought gamely against
odds through the game. Several times
it seemed as though the Tornado was
about to blow across the Auburn
goal but Harkins and his mates stif­fened
and Ivan Williams tried to
place them over the timbers without
success. Four times the Tech star
took shots at the three points but
each time the ball went wide.
A second Williams, "Clabber,"
got but one opportunity to display
his wares. This came in the ^irst
canto when the Tigers, under the able
generalship of Little Frankie Bogue,
who got his first peep at Grant Field,
carried the oval down the rectangle
to Tech's 18 yard line. A series of
short passes did the work.^At this
point, however, the Tiger passes
could not find their marks and after
Auburn was penalized 5 yards for
off side, Williams went back to the
31 yard line to try one of his famous
placements, but the effort fell far
short.
The Techesters outgained the Ti­gers
with 2*46 yards to 36 yard from
running plays. However the Plains­men
added 71 yards via the air route
in 15 passes, of which 7 were corn-

moved behind them for a total of 60
yards. The Tigers were deprived 65
yards. The honors were even in the
amount of fumbling, each aggrega­tion
being credited with a duo of
bobbles. However the Tiger bobble
of the third quarter proved to be
the most costly as it gave Tech the
ball within striking distance of the
Tiger goal line after the Plainsmen
seemed to have found their bearings
and were headed- down the field.
The Tigers were outstripped in the
matter of first downs. The Alexan-dermen

three in the opening quarter, one in
