Halts Initiation
For Time Being
Second Part of Scabbard and
Blade Initiation Postponed
Until Later Date
FIRST PART HELD
Saber Not Presented At Drill
Due To Illness of Cadet Colonel
Johnson
With the closing of school a day
early for the Thanksgiving holidays,
due to the sudden epidemic of influenza,
the second stage of the Scabbard
and Blade initiation begun today
has been postponed until a later
date. The exact date for the remainder
of the initiation has not been decided
upon.
Only fifteen men were able to participate
in the first stages of the initiation
on the downtown streets. It
was decided early this morning that
the remainder of the initiation would
not draw a full list of the initiates
and members, and further plans were
called to a halt by advisors in the
military department and active members.
The remainder of the initiation was
to consist of further activities as
those held before the public, with the
formal initiation to be held at an
early hour Wednesday morning at the
Scabbard and Blade camp outside the
city.
26 men were originally named to
membership in this national military
society on September 30. The tapping
ceremonies were held at a regular
drill hour. The local company, "L"
Company, of the Fifth Regiment,
holds two elections each school year;
one is held in the fall for senior cadet
officers, and another in the spring
for junior non-commissioned officers.
The company has decided to hold
an entertainment tonight for its
pledges, and plans are under way for
the arrangements.
Rally in Last Half Sends Auburn
Over Ninth Hurdle in Search for
Southern Conference Grid Title
Plainsmen Come From Behind To Stop Bulldogs in Football
Classic at Columbus; Georgia Was Ninth Straight Win on
Schedule and Last Serious Threat to Conference Title
Auburn marched through Georgia
Saturday 14 to 7 and continued her
way toward Southern and national
grid honors.
The Plainsmen were hard pressed,
yet they came back like champions
that they are to snatch victory from
the Bulldogs in the last half after
trailing at intermission. It was Auburn's
first win over Georgia since
1922.
Georgia was primed for Auburn.
They played inspired football. Experts
say they put up their greatest
game of the season. But Auburn's
bid for victory would not be denied.
The Bulldogs chilled the hearts of
Auburn followers with a smashing 76
yard march to score just before the
first half ended. Buster Mott's 31
yard dash from Georgia's 30 set off
the fireworks. Crouch ran out of
bounds on Auburn's 48. Mott broke
through for nine more. Crouch made
a first down on Auburn's 25. Chapman
crashed the line for nine more.
Crouch made another first down on
Auburn's 12. Auburn received a five-yard
penalty and Mott crashed
through to Auburn's four yard line.
Crouch plunged over on fourth down.

Kiwanis Hears McGehee
Elementary School Plea
An appeal for relief for the schools
of Alabama was presented Monday
to the Auburn Kiwanis Club by Dr.
R. B. McGehee, who is pastor of the
.Auburn Methodist Church, and is intensely
interested in public education.
Several members of the club spoke
after Mr. McGehee, each one declaring
that a calamity has befallen the
boys and girls of the State, and that
arrangement should be made immediately
for re-opening the closed
schools, as well as keeping open those
which have not closed.
Dr. McGehee had just returned
from the annual South Alabama Conference
of the Methodist Church at
Troy and read to the club a resolution
prepared by Dr. W. D. Agnew, Dr.
E. G. Mackay and Dr. J. O. Grogan,
and adopted by the Methodist Conference
without a dissenting voice. The
resolution follows:
"In view of the economic distress
that has fallen upon our 'teachers in.
all departments of Public Education
and the impending calamity that may
force us to ' close our public schools
throughout the entire*State, we, the
members of the Alabama Conference,
respectfully and earnestly implore his
excellency, Governor Miller, and the
members of the Ligislature to lay
aside every political weight, the political
method of proceedure that will
remedy this deplorable situation at
- the earliest possible moment. -
"We urge the present administration
and the entire citizenship of this
commonwealth to think together, and
to think patriotically upon this question.
"It is not an overstatement of the
gravity of this situation to say that
we stand in the presence and in the
judgement of our children as an elder
generation that has failed utterly and
miserably to meet its high responsibilities
and obligations. We can think
of no greater social and economic

Auburn Student Artist
Receives High Praise
A pastel portrait by Leland Smith,
Auburn sophomore student in commercial
art from Opelika, won "honorable
mention" at the third annual
exhibit of the Alabama Art League
this month in Montgomery. Leading
artists throughout Alabama entered
products of their work in the competition
held at the Museum of Fine
Arts. -
Smith's drawing was "Portrait of
Mrs. Linda Cotton" done with great
sureness and is a particularly strong
piece of partraiture", said the judges.
The "certificate of merit" was
awarded to J. Kelly Fitzpatrick for
"The Syrup Mill" and other honorable
mentions included Alice Mc-
Gehee's "Christopher Wren Tower,
Providencetown", Katherine Neville's
"Japanese Plum Blossoms".

Invitations to the Senior Honor
Societies Ball and banquet, which will
be held on December the nintn, were
sent out during the past week and it
is expected that a large number of
guests wil be present.
The banquet which is to be held
in the Baptist church, shojys indications
of being one of the largest affairs
ever held in Auburn. Approximately
one hundred and seventy-five
members and guests are expected to
attend. An interesting program of
music and songs is being planned.
The decorations for the banquet will
be done by the members of Cardinal
Key.
Following the banquet will come
the major event of the day, the
Christmas Ball. The Auburn Knights,
Auburn's popular student orchestra,
have been given the contract to provide
the music for the event, and a
large number of new pieces have
been secured especially for the ball.
Departing from the usual custom
of tag dances in Auburn, this dance
is to be a program dance. This type
of dance, which has never gained
much popularity on the campus, is
one of the many innovations which
are planned to add color and interest
to the social.
Phi Delta Gamma, the national
forensic fraternity on the campus is
the latest addition to the group,
which include only the leading honor
societies on the campus.
Approximately one hundred students
are eligible to attend, but this
number will be increased greatly by
the number of graduate and alumni
.members of the societies which are
expected to be present.

Two fast polo teams will be seen in
action here on Thanksgiving Day
when the Chattahoochee Cardinals
from Fort Benning meet the improved
Auburn team here. A game has been
arranged with the Governor's Horse
Guards from Atlanta on December 3.
Practice has been hampered lately
because of the frequent rains which
have kept the field wet and in poor
playing condition. Nevertheless, the
team has been working out and expect
to be ready to turn back their opponents
Thanksgiving. .
The squad has been divided into
two teams, the Reds and the Whites.
This competition between the teams
has brought the candidates into good
condition. Jones, Fincher, 0. L.
Johnson and J. H. Suydam make up
the Red's team while W. Johnson,
Rouse, Morrill and Wood compose the
White's squad. Franklin and Clark
are two capable reserves who fit in
well with either team. These two
teams are aboiit evenly matched with
probably a slight edge in favor of the
Reds.

It was announced today that Phi
Kappa Phi, national scholastic society,
had laid plans for the election
of students to that organization on
Tuesday evening, November 29, at
seven o'clock. A preliminary meeting
was held last night.
Since only seniors are named for
the honor organization, the faculty
members are to make the selections
of the members from the senior class.
A scholastic average of 85 must be
maintained as a prerequisite to membership.
Initiation of the pledges will be
held on Friday night, December 6.
The initiation will be followed by a
banquet.
Phi Kappa Phi is an honor fraternity
which is open to students from
any department in the institution in
the event that they comply with the
scholastic requirements of the organization.
Phi Kappa Phi also bases its
membership upon personal honor and
promise of leadership.
To prevent further spread of influenza
among students and faculty
all class work at Auburn was suspended
at noon Tuesday for the remainder
of the week. Dr. B. F.
Thomas, college physician, recommendation
was approved immediately.
Ingoing so Dean John J. Wilmore,
chairman of the committee, called attention
to the fact that the action
extends the Thanksgiving holidays
only one and one-half days, or for
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday.
It was announced last week that
Thursday, Friday and Saturday would
be used as Thanksgiving holidays. ~,
Dr. Thomas told the committee that
about 100 students were confined to
their rooms Tuesday morning and-that
the influenza epidemic was
spreading rapidly. He said that suspension
of classes appeared very wise
under the circumstances although the
disease appears only in a mild form.
Not a single student is seriously ill
and all should recover rapidly. Dr.
Thomas emphasized the fact that
there is no cause for alarm.
Class work will be resumed at 8
o'clock Monday morning, Nov. 28,
as per schedule. It is hoped that by
that time there will be very little influenza.
Prof. Jones Discusses
Progress In Mexico
Mexico 'is rapidly developing her
educational, aviation, highway, and
agricultural systems, according to
Prof. Herman W. Jones of the chemistry
department, who spent two years
there doing research work prior to
his return to Auburn in July, 1930.
He says that the educational facilities
are being improved greatly, and
that education of the rural classes is
being stressed. There are many fine
colleges and universities in the larger
cities, but until recently rural education
was comparatively neglected.
The organization and development of
agricultural schools are paving the
way for better farming conditions.
Prof Jones states that the National
University in Mexico City has a registration
of about 22,000, and its summer
school attracts many foreign students,
among them being a large number
of Americans.
Wonderful strides have been made
in the highway system, Prof. Jones
edded and fine roads connect Laredo,
and the American border, with Mexico
City. The Capitol is linked with

FRESHMEN DROP FINAL GAME
OF SEASON TO TROY NORMAL
Bringing to a close its 1932 football
season, the Auburn freshman
team was defeated 6-0 by Troy Normal
Colleeg last week. Despite the
unimpressive records of two tries
and three losses for the season, the
frosh have shown a large amount of
potentian power and several of the
players should develop into valuable
varsity men in the future. Injuries
and other factors have greatly handicapped
the freshmen this year,. Coach
McFaden had several outstanding
players on the team including:
Scruggs, Preister, Tolve, Huckaby,
Watson, Fenton, Black, Patterson,
O'Rourke, Boteler and Baker. Huckaby,
Boteler and O'Rourke showed
up especially well in several games
and should give other aspirants for a
varsity position next year plenty of
trouble.
The season's record:
Auburn 6—B'ham.-Southern 6.
Auburn 6—Georgia 25.
Auburn 0—Tech 0.
Auburn 6—Tulane 18.
Auburn 0—Troy Normal 6.
Initiation Plans Are
Laid At Key Meeting
The Keys, Inter-fraternity organization,
held a short meeting last
Tuesday night at the Pi Kappa Alpha
house to discuss plans for the initiating
of this year's pledges. About
twenty of the new pledges were present
in addition to the old members.
After a brief discussion, it was
decided to hold the initiation Thursday
night, December 9. The initiation
will begin at the Lambda Chi
house at 8 o'clock.
Each year two freshmen from each
lodge are selected by the old members
of that chapter fofr a bid to Keys.
This year's pledge group includes
most of the outstanding freshmen on
the campus and a very successful year
of social and other activities is in
store for the Fraternity. In .addition
to freshmen, several upperclassmen
have been pledged since the lodges
from which they were drawn did not
have their quota of members.
Immediately after the initiation, a
meeting will be called for the purpose
of making plans for the banquet and
dance which will be given during the
Mid-Term Dances. This schedule of
social activities of the Keys has been
carrier out for several years and it
heads the list of outside events given
during the dances.

THE EDITOR
Since the editor is slightly indisposed at
the present and has turned the paper over
to us, we again have that strange feeling
of dispair we had last year when the editor
became ill and told us to edit the sheet. .
This year, we won't attempt to revolutionize
the editorial page, the policies, and
the make-up of the paper as we did a little
less than a year ago. And if we print any
libelous statements don't come running to
the editor with your grievances; ask for us.
In conclusion, we add that it is our sincere
hope that the editor is able to leave
his sick-room before the end of the forthcoming
holidays. This thing of having a
paper on one's hands leads us to wonder
why he has not had a fine case of "jitters"
'long before he gave way to one of the more
common illnesses.
CLAMORINGS
For the past week a petition has been
circulated among the members of the senior
class requesting additional holidays during
the regular Christmas vacation. Last year
the seniors petitioned for an additional two
days and were awarded them by the Executive
Council. This year the seniors are
clamoring for six or seven days more than
the regularly scheduled vacation.
This is not an attempt to throw a wet
blanket on anyone's play-house, but it seems
that taking additional time from the all
too closely compact schedule on which we
now operate, is rather thoughtless.
When the student leaves school a week
earlier than is customary, he will find that
the muchly sought after, extra period is not
exactly what he was looking for. The
chances are that the majority of the student
body will spend more quiet and inexpensive
evenings at home this year than they have
in the past.
An additional week means that there will
be an extra load of work to be made up
after the holidays in the short time we
now have to prepare for the term finals
which come about tv^> weeks after the
Christmas recess. If memory serves correctly,
it has always been a sore spot among
students that the time between the first of
the year and the examinations was so short.
Without engaging in histrionic sugges-tiveness,
there is a possibility that this semester
will mark the last one we will have
the opportunity of spending at the institution
for some time. Why not give it a whirl
for another week at least?
LET US GIVE THANKS
Quite a number of years ago a little band
of foolhardy adventurers hesitated in their
quest of a substantian home in a. savage
land long enough to thank the same God
we worship today for the few things that
they possessed. The service was extremely
simple, and likely rather short. They
thanked their God, but for what?
There were no networks of fine highways
stretching up the Massachusetts coast at
that time. The first steam-boat was still
an unborn dream . . . the railroad unheard
of. It was absolutely impossible to buy a
good cigar and to lean back in an easy
chair and enjoy the papers and digest a
meal that all the world had contributed to.
There wasn't the slightest anticipation of
that big game in the afternoon between two
fine football teams. There was no gasoline,
and no car to put it in. There was only
snow and a rather nasty North wind . . .
and a great deal of death. The boat from
England was overdue and supplies were
running low. Again . . . for what did they
give thanks?
It, is likely that they were conscious of
a reality that we sophisticates have seemingly
shattered since then. They believed
in their God, even to the point of undertaking
a journey that would be comparable
today to a trip to Mars, and they were entirely
ignorant of what they would find
in the Far Lands. They thanked him for
good, clean air; they thanked him for a
makeshift shelter against the northern winter;
they thanked him for enough food to
exist on; they thanked him for good wives
and husbands and . . . for FREEDOM.
Compared to our present civilized state
they were distitute. No sane American
would think of thanking any God for the
things they had . . .'no . . . it would be
sheer lunacy . . . a gesture far more im-becilic
than suicide. But to those people
who had recently left behind intolerance
and persecution that first Thanksgiving
Day was the beginning of a new deal. And
they belonged to a group who thought appreciation
. . . even to one's maker was
not a breach of etiquette. And so they
thanked Him.
Today America is standing at the crossroads
of History. It is entirely possible
for her to go up . . . toward immortality,
or down to the doubtful glory that is
Rome's. And yet, even in view of all the
woe and misery caused by this, the last
battle of the Great War, she has a thousandfold
more reasons to give thanks. It
might be well for her to remember.
BUDGET SLASHING
Budget makers have heard the protests of
the taxpayers and are wielding the axe.
The job was necessary, and should not be
stopped until costs of government are down
to where the taxpayer can pay them, and
still live decently.
Nevertheless there are vital spots, and
budget makers should think twice before
their ruthless hacking cut's into something
absolutely essential to public welfare. There
are services that are properly the functions
of government, and for absolute necessities
of this kind there is plenty of tax money
to pay satisfactorily. The job of those in
authority is to provide there necessary essentials
at reasonable cost, and eliminate
every form of governmental activity that
does not come up to this standard.
There are some departments that should
actually be enlarged. There is the question
of evening schools. There are thousands of
highly skilled, intelligent citizens whose
working hours have been greatly reduced.
What are they to do with their spare time?
They should, we think, be provided with
the means and incentive to study. Such
assistance from educational departments
will be a vital force in helping to maintain
the morale of the community. ., If readjustments,
which are now being worked out,
bring a permanent shortening of the working
week, it is quite possible that such
educational facilities will need continuance
and extension.
GIVE US BACK OUR UNITED STATES
New pictures and books come, are read,
or seen, and are forgotten, year after year,
.leaving only the tiniest ripples in the pool
of life. Once-in a decade or so something
really outstanding issues from the minds
of our genius's and becomes the property
of the common people. Usually it is not
a magnificent brain-child, as are really famous
musical compositions, but just a simple,
overlooked maxim as Franklin gave to
us longNago. Such a one is the picture
"Washington Merry-Go-Round". It is of
little importance who the actors are, or
what they are, but it matters greatly the
caliber1 of their performance. Those taking
part in the Columbia production have really
caught that whisper that is swelling into
a roar that will not forever be denied, a
whisper that already has many an old-time
politician squirming uneasily . . . "GIVE
US BACK OUR UNITED STATES".
It has been repeatedly stated by our fathers,
(usually smiling behind their backs)
that we youth are the hope of our Nation.
But our fathers are politicians, and the
word is synonymous with crook in these
present-day United States. The time has
almost arrived for the show-down. When
it is impossible for our government to send
a known murderer to a federal penitentiary
on any charge other than the evasion of
income taxes, and when the proof used in
his conviction also proved him guilty pi
violating, and openly so, one of the national
laws, then the moment has arrived for the
people to take a hand. America has always
been prone to ignore an evil until such a
course was no longer possible, and then to
eradicate it with a good rifle and the old,
trusty Colt. From corrupt use of the ballot
there can come no real democracy. Corruptness
seems almost nation-wide today.
A wise man foresees the ultimate conclusion.
It should not require a brilliant politician
to deduce that we younger people are
beginning to, in the words of Mr. Trafcy,
demand that they "Give us back our United
States," and that we are dangerously sincere.

SOME MONDAY NIGHT do you sit in
the middle of your bed with blue pajamas
upon your frame and feel sorry
for yourself? Some Thursday night along
about 11 o'clock do you feet little and mean
and down in your shoes and hate yourself?
You are generous in your sorry feelings
aren't you, you wish someone would die so
you could feel sorry for them too, don't
you? What a pleasure. To feel sorry for
yourself is more fun than going to a good
show, don't you think?
You feel sorry for yourself because your
girl has decided she likes a small, sweet
little boy who has Mid-Victorian ideas and
a be-jeweled fraternity pin, don't you?
There is no more fun in flowing smoke
rings, is there? Hamburgers don't taste
good anymore, do they? You want to get
tight and look at elephants who have blushing
pink hides, don't you? You want to
count the palings. along fences and stare
at yourself in mirrors, don't you?
Sure it's fun, but also 'tis a bloody mess.
Just keep' on feeling sorry for yourself, and
within two more years you'll be begging
someone to shoot you so you can be sorry
you're dead.
I know some of you people have been
sitting up in the middle of the bed, feeling
sorry for yourselves because you have a
sick sort of look in your eyes, like you have
seen a dead cow in a far away pasture.
Suppose you have nice blue eyes, well a
dead cow blue doesn't look so good does it?
No. Why don't you stop it; discard your
blue pajamas; forget dead cows, and think
not of fence palings?
What if your girl has decided what she
decided in the second paragraph. Surely
you are cognizant of the fact that there
are 49 thousand of other girls . . . yellow
hair, you know; and streamlines, and warm
hearts, and small hands. Feel sorry for
your ex-girl instead of yourself. You have
a very certain feeling -within you that the
fellow with the fraternity pin doesn't look
as good as you do. You could like him
any time. You feel sure that if he ever
has a child that child will surely shoot him
as soon as he is old enough to hold a gun,
hecause his father brought him into the
world with such a face. Hell, let the girl
do the feeling sorry. It's her look-out now.
And I bet you are all in a jitter because
you have flunked a quiz on your five-hour
course. Think nothing of it, such quizzes
have been flunked before. Go home and
study; pop a few smoke rings against your
stack of books; drink some coffee, and go
back and give the professor hell on the
next quiz. If you don't he'll make you a
present of the place. If you were like me
you would rather let him have it; I have
a friend there who pushed me off my bicycle
when I was a brown eyed child. I
still don't like him. %
Maybe you are sorry that you didn't
make seven or eight honor societies. You
don't get any more fun out of tearing your
hair, do you? Are you sorry that you didn't
have the privilege of paying about 25 dollars
a key for seven keys? Think of it,
with that money you could go to New Orleans
and raise more hell in three' days
than Andrew Jackson did in two weeks.
Say, have you no hopes? If you are an
engineer, why don't you sit back and think
that someday you are going to build the
durndest bridge that ever jumped a stream.
You got a feeling, haven't you? You know
down inside that you are no ordinary guy.
Why don't you feel sorry for the other fellow;
you know he hasn't the chance you
have.
If you are an Ag man, dream someday of
the farm you will have. You, perhaps,
have the broadest field of all. You know
that the farmers of today haven't any sense.
Before long you'll be among them. You
won't plant cotton; you'll use your common
sense, and before long you'll have an automobile
and 49 nice, sweet cows. Don't sit
down now and feel sorry for yourself,
you'll never get any place doing that.
If you are a co-ed, sit back and think of
t h e million dollar, three-car man you are
going to marry some day. Sure you can
do it. It's been done before by girls dumber
and less attractive than you. You know
you are prettier than most girls, you have
nicer looking hair; you have pretty grey
eyes; your skirts hang better on you; people
look at you when you walk down the
street, don't they? Sure they do. Don't
sit up with cold cream on your face and
your hair in your eyes, and cry because
you didnt' get to go to the last dance. Durn
dance wasn't any good anyway. And, you
know, you'd look sweeter if you didn't cry.
And you people of the State. Are you
sorry for yourselves and your children because
the schools are closing? You closed
them by your vote Nov. 8th, didn't you?
Are you sorry we have such a lousy legislature?
Well you voted those men in,
didn't you? The thing for you to do is
stop your crying; do the best you can now,
and vote as if you had good sense next time.
* * * *
Now I feel all nice, and washed behind
the ears just like Pollyanna.

ACORRECTION seems to be in order
in this column. Despite the idea
that a corection is generally looked
upon as a denial of a statement, this.particular
correction, in my opinion, is one
which caries added weight to my argument.
There was a statement in the last appearance
of this column that a certain professor
who had emitted some few attacks
upon the standard of living among the
masses in the South, and had been accused
of being unappreciatively indiscreet by a
student whose letter had appeared in turn
in an earlier issue of The Plainsman. The
author of this column made a brief discussion
on the question at hand, and labeled
the professor as "a damned Yankee of
course" in an attempt to discount a certain
statement of the student author of the
letter. 'Later I learned that the professor
does not happen to be a wicked resident of
the North, but is a native of a border state.
His grandparents, incidentally, were slaveholders
and 'fit with Lee'.
And so, it is only just to say that he is
hot the unwelcome native of another section
bent upon blackening the name of our fair
Southland, but is merely one of us who has
seen fit to point out a few of the unpro-gressive
conditions of our section. This,
by the way, is not an apology.
* * * *
In his article "The Uses of Adversity,"
'(The Atlantic Monthly—November, 1931),
E. J. Goodspeed makes the following statement:
"For the first time in the lives of
any of us, there has been creeping into our
thoughts of late a doubt upon what is unquestionably
the fundamental axiom of
American life—that our best minds are occupied
in business. Is it after all barely
possible that they are not? I do not say so;
I have no desire to prostrate a tottering
market. But cross'd as I am with adversity
(to adapt the noble Shakespeare), I
cannot wholly escape that suspicion. And
yet no one would be happier than I to be
convinced that it is groundless.
" Meanwhile, what of adversity? It is
a fine art. Whether prosperity is one may
be doubted, but there is no doubt about adversity.
How to take reduction in wealth,
infulence, prestige—that is the problem to
tax the artist within us to the utmost.
Observe the man who has never known it
and you feel the lack at once "
In some respects it seems to the writer
that the author of that article has some
very fine points; on others not at all. To
doubt the fallability of an institution, pretending
that American business is one,
'naturally comes when there comes a weakening
of the institution. Our nation seems
to have formed the habit of believing steadfastly
in any mushroom growth so long
as the plant does not show any sign of
wilting. Modern America as a whole never
deems it necessary to peer beneath the surface
of a situation until it begins to cast
off disagreeable odors. Then comes the
radical shifting of the sands of confidence
—though never able to investigate the original
value of a condition, the people never
seem to have time to look it over for signs
of true worth should it falter. In that
respect the ^.merican people can never hope
to have a stable basis for operation. Not
knowing how to weigh original value, how
can they hope to be able to suppress the
desire to run, when their god, good or bad,
suffers from a slight indisposition? When
the contributors and partakers of any attempted
establishment have no sense of relative
values, how can it expect to exist?
As far as the best minds of our nation
being enlisted in the so-called business
world, there seems to be two outlets for the
opinion.' If the return of stability in economic
conditions is evidenced within a reasonable
length of time, then perhaps many
of our best minds are engaged in the pursuit
of the dollar. Should there be a prolonged
delay in the return of sound marketing,
then we can only hope that many of our
saner intellects are thus far spectators in
the financial affairs of the nation. Then
again, it is altogether possible that the
best we have is at present engaged in the
struggle, but is not capable of intelligently
dealing with the situation.
In respect to adversity as an art, many
would immediately contend that they were
born artists. That is hardly the question.
The seeming inability of the average person
to control the slight discomfort of a
cheaper existence, is the positive indication
that we are not a nation of artists. If we
had within us a feeling of the humor which
accompanies even a severe, though not a
fatal indisposition, then there would be no
doubt as to our fundamental strength as a
nation. So far we seem to have lacked that
necessary quality.

MCALLISTER MAY NOT RETURN
AS 2-YEAR CONTRACT EXPIRES
Auburn's Strong Coaching Staff Probably Will Be Broken Up
As McAllister Is Considering Offers From Other Institutions;
Came To Auburn in December, 1930, From St. Viator
Auburn's extraordinary football
coaching triumvirate of Chet Wynne,
Roger Kiley and Sam McAllister probably
will be broken up December 1.
This is the date McAllister's two-year
contract expires and it is believed
that instead of attaching his. signature
to another contract at the Plains that
this young coaching genius will accept
an offer from another major institution
in the United States.
McAllister came to Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, December, 1930,
from St. Viator College, Bourbonnais,
111., his Alma Mater, where he was
coach. He was appointed head coach
of the Viatorian school upon completion
of his college career in 1926.
Under McAllister, St. Viator had
winning' football, baseball and basket-
ball teams. His cage and diamond
teams either won the Intercollegiate
race in Illinois or were runner-ups
for the title. His baseball teams
amassed the fine record of 46 victories
against 18 defeats and his cage teams
the splendid mark of 51 triumphs
against 19 setbacks.

Upon the recommendation of Coach
Roger Kiley, the Chicago, barrister
who suspends his legal practice during
the football season to assist with
coaching the Plainsmen gridders,
Head Coach Wynne signed McAllister
as football assistant and head basketball
and baseball mentor in 1930. Kiley
first met McAllister when his
Loyalo football, eleven of Chicago
played St. Viator one year while McAllister
Was a star tackle on the
Bourbannais team.
Besides receiving outstanding
coaching in prep school and at St.
Viator, McAllister has been a member
of several of the coaching schools conducted
by the late Knute Rockne and
was well prepared for the post at
Auburn. s
Immediately upon coming to Auburn,
he took over the reins as chief
instructor of the cagest'ers. His first
team under the Orange and Blue
banner was one of the leading cage
machines in the Southern Conference,
but influenza claimed three regulars
on the eve of the tournament and Auburn
failed to survive the second
round of the tourney. "

finishing the season with a-pre-tour-ney
record of 11 wins and two setbacks
and reaching the semi-finals of
the tournament. A forward from
this team was placed on all-Southern
and a center on the second all-Ameri-can.
The initial championships brought
to the 'Loyliest Village by McAllister
were in 1931 when his baseball club
won both the Dixie League and
Southern Conference pennants, placing
six men on the all-Dixie League
team and two on the ail-American
outfit. Auburn was the only school
in the country to place two players
on All-American.
His ability as a basebell instructor
came in for additional praise last year
when the Tigers retained their Dixie
League first-place trophy, again had
six players chosen as the best in the
circuit and placed one ace on the
all-American nine.
Assisting Coach Wynne with the
moleskin wearers as head scout, tutor
of the tackles and co-instructor of
the centers, McAllister has easily
proven his ability as a great football
mentor. The ertswhile St. Viator
first-rate athlete and head coac"h does
not have a peer in the nation.
Auburn is undefeated and untied in
football and this is due to hard work
on the part of the players and superior
coaching by- Wynne, Kiley and
McAllister. Since he has been a member
of the Plainsmen coaching corps,
McAllister has turned out four leading
tackles in Bat McCollum, Hannis
Prim, Tiny Holmes and James Bush.
A great coach of three sports and
possessing a personality that helps
him in his profession, McAllister has
the necessary qualities to make good
at any school in America.

RALLY IN LAST HALF SENDS
AUBURN OVER NINTH HURDLE
IN SOUTHERN GRID RACE
(Continued from page 1)
Cy Grant was rushed in to kick goal.
Is-~was good by inches.
Phipps' recovery of Chapman's
fumble on Auburn's 37 yard line early
in the third quarter paved the way
for the tying touchdown. Phipps and
Hitchcock made a yard at the line.
Then Dupree ducked his head and sold
out like a flying antelope to Georgia's
48. Phipps got five and Hitchcock
two at Guard. Phipps tore through
for 12 more to place the ball on Georgia's
29. Dupree sped around left
end for seven and Hitchcock made it
a first down on the Bulldog's 18 yard
line. Phipps added four and then
Hitchcock, behind perfect blocking,
circled right end for a touchdown.
Gump Ariail's trusty toe added the
extra point which tied the score.
At the beginning of the fourth period
the Bulldogs were in posession
of the ball on their own five yard
line as a result of Hitchcock's 65 yard
punt which Ariail downed. A couple
of tries at the line failed and Batch-ellor
kicked to Hitchcock who was
chased out of bounds on Auburn's 40.
Phipps, on the first play, broke
through his own left tackle, and behind
beautiful interference, raced
across the goal. Ariail's try for the
extra point was good.
Thus ended the scoring for the day.
It was a typical Auburn-Georgia battle
with sixty minutes packed full of
football of the highest order.
Auburn's victory Saturday was her
sixth Southern Conference win and
ran her string to nine for the season.
Only South Carolina now remains in
the road to an undisputed Southern
Conference championship.

WITHOUT THE PALE
Vienna, Austria—Several American
students at the U. or V. were manhandled
in an anti-Jewish demonstration
by Hitlerites among the students
in revenge for a political shooting the
day before. Police picketed the U.
allowing only those who had to take
examinations to enter. Apologies have
been tendered the United States by
the rector of the university following
the protest of the American minister,
that resulted in the police cordon
around the school.

"This cup was awarded," he said,

some reason, discontinued." Professor
Hess further declared that the

Numerous students at Auburn have
voiced their disapproval over the intermixture
of non-students with the
student body at the games during the
season. It must be understood that
the financial position of the athletic
department is far from normal, due
to a series of lean years on the gridiron.
However, it seems altogether
reasonable to suggest that next year,
and in years to follow, that students
be sold tickets in one or more^ sections,
insuring them the opportunity to sit
together in an organized body.
Vanderbilt students seem to be having
their troubles too, but could hardly
be compared with the conditions at
Auburn since a sell-out in tickets to
an Auburn football game is an entirely
recent revival. Said the Vanderbilt
Hustler in an editorial labeled
"Give Us the Breaks!":
"The two hundred and seventy Tennessee
game student tickets offered
were snapped up Saturday morning
before first hour classes were out, and
students who had delayed efforts to
get tickets at regular prices because
of the announcement of the. student
*
ticket sale were left out in the cold,
holding the bag. Every kind of seat
j n the stadium had been sold, and
there was nothing left for such students
to do but go to a show or console
themselves by listening toradio
reports of the game. •
"The Athletic Association was
founded in the interests of the student
body. It seems to be divorcing
itself from its original interests more
and more. A seat should be available
for every student who wants to see
the game, and financial returns from
larger regular ticket sales should be
of secondary importance.
"Besides, the plan of handling such
tickets was very unsatisfactory. The
object in the late sale was prevention
of student ticket "scalpers." The
Hustler proposes a possible 'solution:
admit students withtfui tickets at a
special gate at time of the game upon
presentation of activities card and
payment of the proper admission
price. No tickets would exist for
scalpers to find.
"Think it over, A. A. Remember
why you exist, and let the public take
the seats left when students have been
satisfied."

_Of course we realize that this gives
us the perfect opportunity for a retort.

the facts may take care of themselves.

argument. Needless to say it has
always been the practice of the outsider
to discount the record of a winner
in any sporti—that is, there has
always been a list of debunkers in
opposition to any team. As for the
schedule, the 'home team' has at this
writing played six Southern Conference
teams. Of those six teams,
Duke, Tulane, and Georgia were conceded
excellent teams in pre-season
predictions; Florida was rated as having
a better than average team, Georgia
Tech has stopped or put up a
brilliant brand of football against
every opponent, and finally, a surprisingly
strong Mississippi team played
an inspired game, their best of the
season, against the Plainsmen. South
Carolina remains as the final obstacle
of the year. Should the Plainsmen
finish the season with ten wins and
no losses, "no amount of debunking can
deny the fact that walking through
a ten game schedule in modern football
is no mean accomplishment. And
of course, its different when it happens
to you.
