Annual Fall Election Thurs­day
Night
NATIONAL SOCIETY
Selection Is Made from Upper
Fourth of Senior Class in
Engineering School
Twenty men, selected from the
Senior Class, were pledged to Tau
Beta Pi, honorary engineering fra­ternity,
in the annual Fall election,
held Thursday night. Men from the
upper fourth of the Senior class were
chosen in" this,'the first election of
the scholastic year.
The pledges are as follows: From
the Department of Chemical Engi­neering:
Ted M. Bishop, of Union
Springs; Leonard S. Cook, of Roa­noke;
Milton Lurie, of Dothan; Con­rad
L. Stayton, of Birmingham; and
Edward H. Tenthoff, of Elberta; from
the Department of Mechanical Engi­neering:
James H. Cooper, of At-talla;
Rodopho Elizondo, of Muzquiz,
Mexico; Dunham G. Golson, of Pratt-ville;
and Charles M. Middleton, of
Scottsborough. From the Depart­ment
of Electrical Engineering: Troy
Foster, of Littlefield, Texas; John W.
Solomon, of Eufaula; and Roy W.
Wages, of Birmingham. From the
Department of Civil Engineering:
Hines K. Francis, of Montgomery;
Sam Gottlieb, of Birmingham; and
Isaac L. Ledbetter, of Bessemer.
From the Department of Architectur­al
Engineering: Kenneth Engwall, of
Mobile; and Stuart C. Pugh, of Union
Springs. From the Department of
Textile Engineering: Joe Phillips,
of Birmingham; and Cash M. Stan­ley,
of Montgomery. From the De­partment
of Aeronautical Engineer­ing:
Herbert F. Croen, of Tarry-town,
New York.
The purpose of Tau Beta Pi is to
mark in a fitting manner those who
have conferred honor upon their
Alma Mater by a high grade of schol­arship
as undergraduates, or by their
attainments as alumni; and to fos­ter
a spirit of liberal culture in the
engineering schools of America.
Rhea P. Lapsley is president of
the local chapter of Tau Beta Pi.
Other officers are Calvin Black, vice-president,
and Otto Morningstar, sec­retary.
Tennis Team Assured
As Candidates Meet
Last year's tennis team and candi­dates
for this year's varsity team met
recently in Langdon Hall. At the
beginning of the session, Claude
Pritchett, of Alexandria City, was
chosen captain.
The team made a very good show­ing
last year in spite of the fact that
a late start was a handicap and in­eligibility
of some of the best players
crippled the squad. Matches will be
scheduled this year with other
schools and neighboring community
teams.
Preparations are under way to se­cure
courts for the players and a
round robin tournament will be
staged as soon as possible to de­termine
the seeding of the candidates.
A number of a consistent representa­tive
was lost in the failure of former
captain Herbert Downs to return.
NOTICE!
There will be a meeting of the A.
S. M. E. Monday night at 7:45 p. m.,
in room 109 Ramsey Hall. All Me­chanical
and Aeronautical students
are invited to be present.

PUBLICATIONS ARE
AIDED BY CLASSES
Donations Given by Three Clas­ses
to Plainsman, Auburn En­gineer
and Alabama Farmer
With only a small part of the three
upper classes present, the Senior,
Junior and Sophomore classes voted
Thursday morning to donate a part
of their class funds to the three stu­dent
periodicals. These funds will
be used to pay for necessary expendi­tures
in mailing the Plainsman, Ala­bama
Farmer and Auburn Engineer
to more than 275 high schools through
the state. The additional publicity
received through this medium should
more than repay the classes for this
contribution. The Senior class vot­ed
"$500 to the cause with the other
two classes donating $200 each.
In view of the comparatively
small number of each class present
the resolution was adopted with the
provision that should any members
of the classes wish to protest an ad­ditional
meeting of each class will
be held to discuss the matter.

PARADE IN BIRMINGHAM
Large Crowd Will Join in Pa

Through Busiest Part of City
An unusual amount of enthusiasm
was displayed last night at the mass
meeting which was held in Langdon
Hall. The tenseness of doubt gave
way to cheers of confidence as the
students were urged on by the cheer
leaders. Upon the arrival of a larg­er
portion of the student body in
front of Langdon Hall at 8 o'clock,
a parade was immediately started
which served to increase the number
of supporters. Fdllowing; the pa­rade,
cheers and songs were prac­ticed
in the auditorium for some
thirty minutes.
During the evening, cheerleader
Ham announced that students and
Auburn supporters would join in a
parade through the business section
of Birmingham immediately upon the
arrival of the train. The train on
which the band and most of the stu­dent
body will ride will leave Opelika
at 7 a. m., arriving in Birmingham at
11 o'clock. The parade will begin at
the Terminal Station and move west
on Fifth Ave. A left turn will be
executed at 20th street and the
throng will continue south on that
street, turning to circle the "Race
Track". Following the parade a few
yells will be presented. Everyone is
asked to cooperate in making this
one of the greatest displays of spirit
yet evidenced outside- of Auburn.
Auburn Players Make
Plans For This Year
Under the leadership of Douglas
Wall, the Auburn Players have made
plans for a varied and extensive pro­gram
of activity for the coming year.
A series of work shop productions
are soon to be put On. These are
plays staged under the direction of a
veteran member of the Players, and
are presented to the entire member­ship
for entertainment and criticism.
Directed by Mr. Telfair Peet, prac­tice
is now under way on the pro­duction,
"The Importance of Being
Earnest", by Oscar Wilde. The cast
includes a number of veteran players
as well as some of the new members
of the organization. Mr. Peet is very
enthusiastic about the work being
done by these students.

suddenly at the breakfast table in
his home in Opelika at 7:30 this
morning, while reading the morning
paper. He had only a short time be­fore
returned from the depot, where
he went to put some letters on the
train." Death was caused from heart
attack.
Apparently in the best of health
and spirits when he left his office in
the Court House late Wednesday, the
Jurist suffered two light attacks last
night and early this morning. Mrs.
Brewer tried to prevail on him to re­main
in bed a while today but he

BAS0RE EXPERIMENTING WITH
NEW GLASS-MAKING PROCESS
A new industry for Alabama—the
manufacture of glass—may develop
from the successful experiments in
making glass which are being further
perfected at the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, by Dr. C. A. Basore, of the
chemistry department and the engi­neering
experiment station..
Dr. Basore has succeeded already
in making from blast furnace slag
of the Birmingham steel industry a
transparent aluminum glass, a black
opaque glass, and a type of glass
whi<*h without additional treatment,
naturally obstructs the vision. Each
type is of very high qaulity and may
be produced much cheaper than glass
now on the market.
For years immense quantities of
blast furnace slag have been avail­able
from the steel industry in Ala­bama
but only limited amounts of it
have been put to any profitable use.
Dr. Basore thinks that its possible
consumption in glass manufacture
may result in great quantities being
used profitably for this purpose.
The high gloss and attractive ap­pearance
of the black opaque glass
made -from slag suggests use for
black tiles, floors, pilasters for build­ings,
and for various deeorative pur­poses.
Since no manganese dioxide
is required to impart the black color,
as is now required, this glass may be
manufactured at considerably less
cost. It is likely that the materials
would cost only one-third to one-half
as much as those required for the
present widely used black glass.
October's first gridiron charge
calls out the two "Dark Horses" of
the Southern Conference when Au­burn
and Duke go into action in
Birmingham Saturday. The game is
rated as a toss-up, with either team
having the chance to tuck the game
into i t s win column.
Coach Wallace Wade, entering his
second year as coach of the Blue
Devils, will bring a formidable outfit
to the Magic City to battle the Tigers.
The Duke line, which has always been
good, averages over 180 pounds, and
will be at their best in an attempt
to check the fleet Auburn backs. With
Rossiter and James on the flanks,
gains around their posts will probably
be limited to a very few. Both of
these huskies are called into the back-field
to do the punting. The strong­est
men on the defense are Porecca
and Crawford, the two tackles. This
is Crawford's second year on the
team and Porecca's first. Two vet­erans,
Means and Shock, will fortify
the guard position. Dunlap, a Soph­omore
who has shown up remarkably
well, will start at center.
Capt. Mason, quarterback; Laney,
fullback; Brownlee and Ershler, half­backs,
round out the speedy and pow­erful
backfield. Mason and Laney
take care of the passing and have
done a neat job of it thus far. Ersh­ler
is a good blocking back and
Brownlee is rated as the best ball­carrier
of the lot.
Coach Wynne will be able to place
the same starting eleven on the field
against Duke that opened the other
two games. The squad, thirty-three
strong, will leave from Opelika this
afternoon in fine physical conditioa.
The probable line-up consisting of
Gi'ant and Ariail, ends; McCollum and
Prim, tackles; Jones and Chambliss,
guards; Parker, quarterback; Hitch­cock
and Phipps, halfbacks; Brown,
fullback, have been drilled in every
department of the game this week
and a powerful, polished aggregation
will seek to turn back their first con­ference
opponent of the year.
Auburn will enter the Southern
Conference gridiron warfare with
plenty of ammunition, and they are
expected to be forced to call all of
it into use in order to turn back the
Blue Devils from Durham.
Greek Council Starts
Work For Coming Year
Beginning the year's work with a
meeting at the T. U. O. House Mon­day
night, the Interfraternity Coun­cil
is now well under way in the for­warding
and execution of its plans
for the session.
President Farris explained the
year's plans to the new members,
and called for committee reports.
Professor Robinson and Dean Wil-more
made short talks, compliment­ing
the Council on its work in the
past and offering their support for
the coming year.
NOTICE!
- There will be a meeting of the
Plainsman staff in the Y. M. C. A.
offices Sunday night at 7 o'clock.
All members are urged to be present.

CLASS MEETINGS YESTERDAY
Although three' class meetings were an­nounced
through several channels on Wed­nesday,
a quorum was present in no one
of the three conclaves held yesterday. The
business conducted in these meetings was
of vital importance to every upperclassman.
, The purpose of the general convocation was
to appropriate class dues for advertising of
the college through the Alabama Farmer,
the Auburn Engineer, and the Plainsman.
This money has been forthcoming from the
college treasury for several years, but this
year college authorities declare that it is
absolutely unavailable. Without it, the
three leading campus periodicals are placed
under a considerable financial strain, and
it is highly possible that all three will be
discontinued next Spring unless this money
is raised.
Those men present heartily supported the
measure. But the action cannot be con­sidered
legal, inasmuch as a quorum was
not present at the meetings. Those present
moved that the bill go through, regardless,
unless an opposition class meeting is called.
We suggest that this meeting, if desired,
be called before Wednesday, October 12. It
is extremely necessary for the publications
who are to serve the college in this way
begin immediately. Papers will be sent
to the different high schools throughout
the state Wednesday, the classes meeting
yesterday paying for the subscriptions as
those present desired, unless an opposition
meeting be held before that date.
LIBRARY
The Auburn Library subscribes to sev­eral
Alabama newspapers, and many stu­dents
take advantage of this by going there
daily and reading the papers.
However, it is impossible to go to the
library on Sunday and get copies of Sun­day's
papers—they are not available until
Monday.
No one likes to read dead news; in fact,
a newspaper fails to contain news when
it is a day old.
By making arrangements whereby the
papers can be obtained on Sunday, the li­brary
will be performing a service that
will be highly appreciated.
INTRA-MURAL ATHLETICS
Since the fall of 1929 there have been
few fields into which the average student
could enter in participating in athletics.
Until that time a system of intra-mural
sports was conducted under the leadership
of the War Department. There seems to
have been little reason for a discontinuance
of this program other than for a lack of
leadership.
By means of this system the athletically
inclined student who was unable to partici­pate
in regular varsity competition found
a way to engage in some branch of sport.
The system used was that of having bat­talion
teams under the tutelage of either
some member of the faculty who was fa­miliar
with some branch of sport or some
former varsity player.
This system proved to be beneficial from
more than one standpoint as the battalion
teams played on a regular schedule and at
the end of the campaign the winning team
was allowed to carry a banner during mili­tary
formations until the next winner was
named. At times, when one or more play­ers
stood out particularly well for his ex­cellence
in play he was given a chance at
varsity competition, being recommended by
coaches and leaders of the intermural or­ganization.
It is our wish to see this program of ath­letics
undertaken once again by some de­partment
or organization on the campus
and it is our belief that such a develop­ment
will be met by the approval and ap­preciation
it encountered while enjoying its
initial regme on the Plains. Such action
will not only encourage strictly amateur
athletics but will give outlet among the
students which the present situation does
not pretend to offer.
FEMININE SCHOLARSHIP
(Co-ed Editorial)
As a spur to urge the men of the school
towards higher scholarship it would be
well to point out to them the difference
between the All Men and the All Women
averages in the recent scholarship report.
True, the women students exceed the men
only three and fifteen hundredsth points but
this should be sufficient difference to make
them realize that they must look to their
studies to obtain a superiority which would
be dear to their hearts.
Perhaps the fact that the co-eds have
always maintained a higher average has
had something to do with the feeling of
antagonism towards women students which
has finally died out in recent years. Even
when the number of women students en­rolled
was exceedingly small in compari­son
with the present enrollment, their aver­age
exceeded the men's from three and a
half to six points.
It is surprising that the two hundred and
twenty-three co-eds of last year could have
averaged more than the one thousand five
hundred and ninty-twb students. But the
records of past years show that no matter
how small the number of women students,
they have succeeded in averaging more
than over ten times their number in men
students did.
As the number of co-eds on the Auburn
campus increases so will their scholarship
probably soar. Are the men of the school
content to let the women beat them every
year? If it goes down in records of future
years that the co-eds are more outstanding
in scholastic work, the conclusion might
be drawn that the women of Auburn are of
superior intelligence or capability. A spirit
of scholastic competition between the men
and women of the school would do much to
raise the scholarship standard and thus
raise the status of Auburn.
ANONYMOUS LETTERS
Every year the Plainsman receives a
number of unsigned letters, letters that
express opinions entirely to the contrary of'
those held by the majority of the student
body. We do not mean to decry individual
opinion. There is not enough original
thought around here. But if one has a
particular point of view on some institution
here he should not be ashamed of it. Ibsen
once wrote that "that man is strongest who
stands most alone." And Ibsen was right.
There are few really strong men, from this
point of view. Nearly every member of
the student body accepts the opinions of the
herd about traditions and customs here.
Occasionally someone dares to criticize ad­versely
some practice here, and he is booed
by the mob. Perhaps this accounts for the
usual vehicle of individual opinion, the
anonymous letter.
We are more than glad to publish signed
letters from the student body, but under
no circumstances will we print editorial
matter without knowing who the author
thereof is. To do so would be the height of
editorial stupidity.
A WORN-OUT.SYSTEM
Exactly eleven days after the resump­tion
of classes following the Christmas holi­days
last year semester examinations be­gan
; this year the same condition will exist.
The average class will meet five times dur­ing
that period and to the completion of
the course will be added a few days of
confusing and crowded review work. There'
is no -doubt that the average student re­quires
a day or two to recover from a two-week
holiday relaxation, really leaving a
week of actual school work for review.
Little benefit has ever been derived from
the closing confusion of a term.
With these facts in mind it seems alto­gether
plausible that a scholastic year di­vided
into quarters would be the most suc­cessful
plan to follow and a greater bene­fit
would be derived by students should such
a system be devised. With term examina­tions
scheduled so that they would come
quarterly and college credit arranged ac­cordingly,
we believe that a more success­ful
series have used this system and found
it satisfactory. Under such a system a
two-fold task could be accomplished. Not
only would it aleviate the task forced upon
students and faculty alike under the pres­ent
system but would also lessen the amount
of work necessary to be covered under the
present two-term system.
The news that 25-cent George Washing­ton

THERE IS so much to paint on a tank
besides class numerals. Why doesn't
a smart architect paint a second
Mona Lisa up there? Why don't some of
you collegiate boys take some of the wit
from your torn down cars, and put it high
in the breeze up on the tank? I'll give any­body
my pull with the co-eds who'll paint
a reasonable likeness of the Boy With The
Torn Hat up on that silver sided tank. All
of that mess will look like the devil up
there, but it won't look as nondescrip as
numerals painted by a freshman with his
soul saturated with the much acclaimed
Auburn spirit.

I was given a sword to go with my blue
uniform. A sword to shine and bump
against my leg. My small boy's soul revel­ed,
and I came—home to make paper hats
and march up and down the lawn. I flashed
my sword in the sun and gave commands to
a million soldiers. A girl came by, and I
watched her walk instead of my soldiers
parade. I came into the house to shine my
sword by the hour, and dream of the elec­tric
train Santa Claus failed on Christmas
to bring me, throughout my childhood.
* * * \*
I came from the game Saturday after­noon,
and was soon in the middle of the
bed. I dreamed seventy-seven yellow haired
girls were out front calling for me, and I
went out to see what they w a n t e d . . . . to
ask what the hell. They started to speak,
and changed into co-eds. I cut off their'
heads, all save one, with my beloved sword;
I took her into the parlor to talk with
her, she looked sweet. She told me she was
down to the "A" Club hop Saturday night
with a dress on that had no back, and a
patch work front. I sighed at her sweet­ness,
and cut off her head, and turned to
dream of wine and song.
The time has come, the teacher said,
To speak of many things
Of gauges, graphs and diagrams,
Of hollow tubes and springs.
Of course Mechanical' Lab has to inter­fere
with my sleep. I just woke up setting
a pressure gauge correctly with one hand,
typing the procedure with another, and
inking a wonderful curve with the pen held
firmly between my upper and lower plates.
A nightmare? I'll say.

For enjoyment read Mark Twain's,
"Great Revolution in Pitcairn", a short
story that is included in one of his books.
For disgusting degradation, see Marlene
Dietrich in "Blond Venus" when it comes
to Opelika. For the best picture of the
year look for the return of "Blessed
Event". The most lyrical poem I've ever
read is in a German textbook, and further­more,
it's written in German.

Igotisms: Poodles, Peeks, parrots, and
canary birds arouse my ire. Blondes at­tract
both my ires . . . if you know What I
mean. I like to see small bird dogs walk
sidewise down the sidewalks. They do;
you know they do,. My friends make me
feel sad, they seem much happier than I.
Don't you ever have worries? I have un­happy
thoughts and turn on-my radio. I
think of unpleasant things, and read news­papers.
I drum, left handed, on the table
top, and wonder. I wonder if I will ever
have enough money to marry a person with
green eyes or yellow hair . . . a girl who
will love dogs with muddy feet, and pic­tures
on the wall, and good books to read.
I have intense fun on the drill field, and
wonder what men without the Sam Browne
think of my voice, my nervous hands, and
the war bonnet that sits upon the right side
of my head. I have tried for three years,
but I find my eyes crossing every time I
put that hat straight, up on the top side of
my head. I am always disconcerted on
seeing girls at drill, watching from auto­mobiles.
One can't play at war seriously
with girls looking at one's soldiers.

We have the best football team in the
conference. This I firmly believe. But the
sport writer was wrong when he said Sat­urday's
score was the largest in sixteen
years. We beat W and L 77 to 0 in 1921.
We shall beat Duke, and Tech. If Nollie
Felts stays out; we will beat Tulane. I
have never seen a finer backfield than the
one we have here, and we got good ends.
I hope the team goes to Atlanta remember­ing
1928 when Techr beat us 51 to 0.

A' seething mass yelling "Hoch" where
the Kaiser once reviewed his picked troops;
a hundred thousand singing the "Interna­tional"
in the world-famous "Red Square";
an ocean of "Black Shirts" chanting the
Hymn of Garibaldi in the Coliseum. The
WORD is youth. Youth in South America
and China, youth everywhere, marching on.
To the urge of a thousand ideals, to the
burden of countless wars, they march.
Wherever misery and famine have stalk­ed,
wherever poverty and death have pas­sed,
youth is the leader. With its glorious
enthusiasm and its enduring fortitude, with
its courage and brazen brilliance, with its
beauty, youth marches. To the stirring
lilts of all the nations the long lines push
their inevitable way through our present
history toward government and closer to
better understanding. Behind they leave
blood: blood in Italy and in Russia, blood in
Japan. But they march toward a light in the
distance. A faint light, it is true, but, at
least, they march.
America, as a nation, does not know the
meaning of the words famine, bareness,
poverty. American does not even know the
meaning of liberty. It has been too long
since we fought for freedom, our fathers
have grown soft. But we are fast learning
of overtaxation. Out of the laxness of our
leaders has grown the most corrupt govern­ment
since Rome. Out of this government
has come the great depression. There are
mutterings on every hand. There are swords
against the sky. Will our fathers awaken
in time to kill this beast?
The great depression is an arrow along
the road. A few of our youth see it clear­ly.
The time is almost here. If the Ameri­ca
of Washington and Jefferson remains
i asleep, WE MUST MARCH.

On the eighth day of next month the
people of Alabama will decide at the polls
not only their choice of the next president
of the United States but also the immediate
future of education in this state. On that
day two issues of vital importance to this
institution will be placed before the elec­torate
of Alabama. The first of these is
an income tax. The second is a bond is­sue
to liquidate the outstanding warrant's
against the state. If these two issues are
carried, Auburn will be paid the enormous
amount of money owed it by the state.
The instructors also will be able to cash
their warrants and pay the bills which
local merchants have allowed to run for a
year. If these two issues fail, the school
will likely have to close. It is not, in any '
sense, a political issue with this school
aligned against those people who possess
large incomes in this state. It is, rather,
a case of life or death.
If the income tax and the bond issue be­come
legal, the Alabama Polytechnic Insti­tute
will remain open, if they are defeated,
it is possible that the school will close.
With Other Colleges
Coach Frank Thomas, University of Ala­bama,
believes that the new grid rulings
will be effective in lessening the number of
injuries sustained by football players:
" 'The tendency of the new rules,'
Thomas said, 'is to cut down on in­juries.
The chances are that they will
be partially successful. There were
some faults in the rules previously en­forced,
but they were excusable in view
of the fact that the purpose of the rules
would be partially fulfilled.'
"When asked his opinion of the dead
ball rule, which declares the ball dead
when any part of the carrier, except
his hands and feet, touch the ground,
he replied, 'It's a pretty good rule.
Obviously the purpose of it is to pre­vent
piling on, and the chances are it
probably will do this.'
"The rule on use of the hands has
been interpreted to mean that hands
may be legally used as long as they
are held in front of the body and not
cocked in swinging position. 'This
rule,' said Coach Thomas, 'is for the
benefit of the spectators. It looks bad
to them, to see the players swinging
and striking with their hands. The
rule does not lessen the effectiveness of
a good football player, however, or curb
the use of his hands.'"

The mysterious art of dating at Monte-vallo
seems to have been developed to a
fine point, when candidates can be found.
The little ones at Alabama College seem to
have it all figured out, even to the point of
publishing their designs in a so-called "Rat
Bible." In an editorial entitled "Advice to
Freshmen" the more experienced "daters"
uncover the sinister preparations made for
the week-end rush:
"Let us first turn our attention to a
matter of primary importance. Even
bashful freshmen, too awed by the sud­den
plunge into college will want to
know about date privileges. For the
cold (and hard) facts we refer you to
the handbook, (alias the rat Bible)
but we feel sure that you will appreci­ate
this little inside tip. It will give
you a knowledge heretofore gained only
through experience. To be brief, we
warn you, that if you wish a seat for
your date in the evening (and we feel
sure that you will), it would be wise
to,carefully fag one of the comfortable
wicker settees on the porch with a piece
of paper, bearing RESERVED, in
large letters. The initials of the per­son
making the reservation are fre-
- quently added to this inscription which,
when secured to the bench with a bob-bie
pin, will insure a comfortable seat
from which the moon will probably be'
visible. Freshmen who do. not take this
information for what it is worth, may
be compelled to sit on the stone steps
—or just around, especially if it be
over a week-end when accommodations
for all are particularly hard to make."

THE WORD "amateur", is a thing of
the past in the realm of collegiate
athletics of today; the term is merely
a childhood title for a matured condition.
Amateur, in the strict sense of the word,
can enclose only those who participate in
any activity for the pleasure derived from
participation and without transferable ma­terial
award. Conditions have changed,
just as surely as times have donned modern
raiment; still, officials in collegiate circles
insist upon a periodic investigation to ap­pease
the few who still believe that the All-
American tackle takes nothing short of a
four-year pounding for an unsullied love
' of "dear old Rutgers." Why they continue
to break forth in these supposedly righteous
clamorings when even the least intelligent
freshman knows that they play for the
gift of a "scholarship", is beyond the ken of
the majority of the college world. A prime
example of the situation might be found
in the recent charges brought against a
southern conference football player, quest­ioning
his right to participate in conference
athletics, because rumor has it that he par­ticipated
in a score of baseball games with
some other professionals. If the accusers
had probed a little deeper into the true
facts surrounding the case they would have
found that this man whom they were per­secuting,
had a wife and a youngster who
will start to school in another year. How
can they expect a grown man to assume ob­ligations
of that nature without doing some­thing
to insure their support? In all prob­ability,
the college he plays for gives him
a thousand or two thousand dollar scholar­ship
to play ball for them. What of it?
The students who come to that college to
watch him play football and pay for the
privilege, will more than repay the institu­tion
for its investment. Why college heads
should be so hesitant in admitting that their
institutions even present scholarships, is
beyond conception. Surely it could not be
due to the fact that there are certain mid-
Victorian rules regarding the strictly ama­teur
status of eligibility? The single com­mon
sense thing to do in the writer's opin­ion,
and he is hardly the first to offer the
idea, is for college officials to get together
and settle on some plan for announcing
annual figures on the amounts paid college
athletes for their services. Such reports
would be most enlightening and would en­gage
spirited alumni in a contest to de­termine
which school could raise the most
money for the team. There could be ab­solutely
no harm in such a plan, and would
dismiss the necessity of practiced indigna­tion
when a charge of professionalism is
made. Honesty, even if it be the single
survivor of antiquarian ideas surrounding
athletic competition, could be saved.
Some might find it difficult at first to
yell rah-rah, and sing their alma mater
with a slightly metallic twang; but they
will become accustomed to it—just as they
became accustomed to hearing hot-cha dis­cords
in place of the classical, and read
"The Love Life of Mamie Zilch" instead of
Shakespeare. It's only in acclimating your­self.
* * * *
After almost four years, the picture into
which the youth is about to throw himself
is hardly more heartening than it was when
the market took an artificial climb and
cotton went back up to a bare production
cost. The youth has little chance to battle
with experience which has been forced to
retrench in its most powerful spots. Youth
will probably attempt to, and then be
forced to wait a while until the cycle takes
v the definite upward swing. Youth can
scream bloshevism, down with the govern­ment,
and wave his little red flag, but it
will avail him little. Perhaps revolution
would be a good thing for the country;
however, since very few things are done
by man for the good of man, at the present
time, a better time for such an eruption
could probably be chosen.
In the meantime, as our head-long rush
to nowhere has been halted, temporarily at
least, youth has a perfect opportunity to
consider a more agrarian aspect. The logi­cal
time has come for youth to drift into a
little material stagnancy at the very offset
and gain a certain increase in his aesthetic
nature.

Auburn-Duke Game to be Highlight of Conference This Week
BLUE DEVILS HAVE
WEIGHT ADVANTAGE
Wademen Have Three-Pound
Margin on Tigers; Difference
in Backfield is Slight
Assuming that the line-ups that
opened against V. M. I. and Erskine
last Saturday are practically the same
that willtake the field in Birmingham
tomorrow, Duke will outweigh Au­burn
approximately three pounds per
man.
From end to end, the Tigers aver­age
177 to Duke's 181. In the back-field
Auburn will average 163 to the
Blue Devil's 164.
This lack of weight could be made
up very easily with the insertion of
Welch, promising sophomore, and
Talley, junior, into the line-up.
Both teams feature ends of medium
size, with Duke's not as quite gener­ously
proportioned as Auburn's. The
tackle berths on either side are well
taken care of by 190 pounders or over.
McCollum, Prim, Paterson, and
Holmes will have a little edge on ex­perience,
as Duke's four leading
tackles are sophomores. The guard
positions will find Auburn yielding
considerable poundage.
Wade, like Wynne, will feature a
light but fast backfield. John Brown-lee,
the track star, weighs 175; Nick

According to a letter received by
this department, from George Ewell,
Sports Editor of the Duke Chronicle,
weekly student publication, Wallace
Wade has been priming his Blue
Devils against an air attack by the
Plainsmen tomorrow. Writes George:
"Up to last week Wade had stressed
defense, blocking, and tackling. With
these three fundamentals well assimi­lated,
the running attack also went
strong during the V. M. I. game. He
also stressed pass defense and I would
not be surprised to see this be one of
the features of the game. A few
passes were tried during the V. M. I.
game and nearly all were completed
for substantial gains. * 7 out of 10
tries were successful." It looks from
this that the Tiger secondary will be
in for a little target practice them­selves.
The letter continues: "The Duke
line has always been good and we are
relying on it to stop the Auburn
'track team.' It averages slightly
over 180. The Blue Devils have only
been scored upon three times since
Wade took over the team."
* * *•
Georgia's 7 to 6 defeat at the hands
of the V. P. I. Gobblers last Saturday
was by far the greatest upset suffered
by a major eleven this fall. Coach
Harry Mehre, however, states that
the Bulldogs were lucky to get by that
light. Georgia will have a chance to
do a little upsetting themselves when
they meet the Tulane Greenies in
New Orleans. The odds, however,
seem too much against them.
In speaking of upsets, it will not be
amiss to remind you that the Bates
team which" held Yale to a scoreless
tie last Saturday, in the biggest upset
in the east, is coached by David
Morey, former Auburn mentor.

Dr. Bradford Knapp's team, Texas
Tech, pulled the biggest upset in the

Benson Brothers, prominent local
merchants, are giving away a plaster
Tiger to each outstanding linesman
and back in every game Auburn plays

tigers for their work in the first two
games:. Sterling Dupree, Buddy Mc­Collum,
Casey Kimbrell, and Lee
Johnson.
Tennessee's Sophs
Make Fine Showing
Knoxville, Tenn.—Ambitious young
sophomores are proving to be import­ant
cogs in the 1932 grid machine as­sembled
by Maj. Bob Neyland at the
University of Tennessee. The new
comers have been very much in the
limelight in the victories over Chatta­nooga
and Ole Miss, and they are get­ting
plenty of attention as the coaches
prepare for the coming games with
North Carolina and Alabama. .
Two sophomores appear to have
landed permanent jobs on the varsity.
They are Dick Dorsey, of Memphis,
and Murray Warmouth, of Humbolt,
Tenn. Dorsey is playing a halfback
the fast-stepping junior back, while
position alongside Beattie Feathers,
Warmouth is holding down the right
terminal.
Rip Middleton, who weighs 185
pounds, is pushing Breezy Wynn for
the fullback post. Middleton per­formed
at fullback on the freshman
team last year, and he is making an
impressive start as a varsity player.
Middlefcon has a lot of drive, and can
back up a line in fine style.
Erskine Score Is
Highest Since '20
Auburn's 77 to 0 victory over Ersk­ine
was the fifth largest score ever
run up by a Plainsmen football team.
The Auburn teams to score more
points than 77 in one game are the
1894, 1910, 1915 and 1916 elevens.
In 1894, the Tigers trounced Tech,
96 to 0; Howard was defeated, 78 to
0, in 1910; Marion 78 to 0 in 1915
and Mercer 92 to 0 in 1916. The 1920
machine, however, equaled this mark,
hopelessly outclassing Washington
and Lee, 77 to 0.
The Auburn Tigers will have an
opportunity tomorrow, against Duke,
to prove to the football world that
the high scores run up on minor op-ponets,
have some real significance.
This game, Auburn's first Southern
Conference encounter, will be the first
real test for the Plainsmen, who, by
landslide victories in their first two
games, have rolled up 138 points to
lead the South in scoring. This will
be the feature game in the South.
Tulane's contest with Georgia and
Tennessee's engagement with North
Carolina, also take high rank, but
these hardly carry the element of
close competition promised in the
Auburn-Duke go.
Georgia's poor showing, in its 7 to
6 defeat by V. P. I., has taken some
of the edge off its heralded battle
with Tulane. The Greenies, despite
the loss of its Captain and star full­back,
Nollje Felts, will be odds-on
favorites, and only a startling rever­sal
of form on Georgia's part can give
the Bulldogs a chance. Tulane's 26
to 14 victory last Saturday, over Tex­as
A. and M., was very impressive.

—and raw tobaccos
have no place in cigarettes
They are not present in Luckies
. . . the mildest cigarette
you ever smoked
w E buy the finest, the very
finest tobaccos in all the
world—but that does not
explain why folks every­where
regard Lueky Strike as
the mildest cigarette. The fact
is, we never overlook the
truth that "Nature in the
Raw is Seldom Mild"—so
these fine tobaccos, after
proper aging and mellowing,

that Lucky Strike purifying
process, described by the
words—"It's toasted".That's
why folks in every city, town
and hamlet say that Luckies
are such mild cigarettes.
"It's toasted"

"If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, tho he
build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door. "—RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
