TIGERS TROUNCE
TULANE TRACKMEN
CINDER PATH ARTISTS MAKE
GOOD RECORD
Continuing their habit of winning
dual meets the Tiger trackmen
beat Tulane by a close score
last Saturday. Although the track
was somewhat slow some excellent
times were made and the meet
was bitterly contested. Perhaps
the brightest individual star of the
meet was "Brother" Brown of the
losers who won a first in the
hundred, 220, and the broad jump.
Stockelberg won his usual two
firsts, while Marquis collected
three seconds. The biggest feature,
though, was the pole vaulting
of Lock, the lanky one
sailing over the bar at a height of
twelve feet, five inches. G. White
broke the Auburn javelin record
with a toss of one hundred sixty-five
feet five and one half inches.
Other Auburn men who placed
in the meet were Nelson, who
trailed Brown in the 100 and 220,
Creel who won the 440, Reeves,
who came second in the mile and
two mile, Boyd, who placed first
in the two mile, M. V. White who
placed second in the shot and discus,
and Pippin,, who was runner-up
in the broad-jump. This meet
makes_the third dual jQ^Mg.'fef,
=# the Tigers*'this 5»ear, ahd^in.tw©
years the tracksters have yet to
taste defeat at the hands of an
other single college. Stockelberg
and Marquis are the most consistent
scorers, while Nelson, the
sophomore, in spite of the fact
that it is his first year on the team
is running in good form and placing
in every met.
The acid test of the team will
come this Saturday when the Tigers
go to the big S. I. C. meet in
Montgomery. Facing the powerful
Mississippi A. & M. Team together
with all the other large
teams in the Conference, the Au-burnites
will have their work cut
out for them. However, if Stock,
Marquis, Lock, and the others are
in their usual form, the Tigers will
give somebody a run for their
money.
The score of the Tulane meet
was as follows: 100 Yard Dash:
Won by Brown, Tulane; Nelson,
Auburn.; second. Time 10 and
three-fifths. 220 Yard Dash:
by Brown, Tulane; Nelson,
burn; second. Time 23
four-fifths. 440 Yard Dash:

COMMENCEMENT DANCES
TO BE THRILLERS
At present it looks as if the
Commencement dances will
be the best ever, and are
scheduled for the 15th, 16th
and 17th of May.
More invitations have been
sent out for this set of dances
than were sent out for the
mid-term prom. In all something
over 400 invitations
have been mailed to the fairest
of damsels in Alabama and
the surrounding states, so if
"old man average" is still
working there should be a
larger number of visiting girls
at the coming dances.
The dances will be informal,
and this should make it
possible for almost every one
to attend them. At present
the social committee has not
announced who will furnish
the music but it is understood
that they have several offers
from various orchestras in
this part of the country and
you may be assured that they
will have the very best music
possible.

AUBURN TRACK TEAM
HAS BIG YEAR
Lock Breaks Southern Record
in Pole Vault
By winning from Tulane in New
Orleans last Saturday, the Tiger
Tracksters made a clean sweep of
their three dual meets of the season,
and stamped the season as the
best in the history of this sport at
Auburn. The first meet was won
from the Georgia Bulldogs by a 71
to 41 score and this was the largest
margin of the trio of victories.
The 57 to 55 win over Georgia
Tech in Atlanta was the closest of
the three, while the margin over
the Crescent City college was 6i\ 1-2
to 501-2. This gives the Tigers
(Continued on Page 3) )
For the first time in over four
years the teams from Mississippi
A. & M. and Auburn faced each
other in athletic combat and the
results showed that the Aggie diamond
artists blanked the Tigers
and handed them a 4 to 0 defeat.
Austin of the Aggies held the
Tigers well in check during the entire
game and only once did the
home plate get dangerously threatened.
Hines pitched a steady game
for the Plainsmen and kept the hits
of the Mississippians well scattered
except when a trio of bingles
were . collected in the third.
Myers and Hopper were the
chief annoyers of the Tigers from
the standpoint of willow wielding.
Each collected a trio of hits and
were the only players to nick
"Skinny" for more than one bingle.
Allen garnered three of the seven
hits made off Austin, while Davis
was credited with a' brace of safeties.
Myers' fielding was also of
the sterling variety, and his teammate,
Turner, also turned a nice
performance, getting three putouts
and two assists from his outer garden
berth. Market also jumped
very much into the public gaze by
pulling down long ones in the outfield
for the villagers. Joe Harri-

FINAL "A' CLUB DANCE
SATURDAY NIGHT
All dance lovers of the Village
will be interested to know that the
last "A" Club dance of the year
will be given Saturday night. All
the dances given by the club this
year have been superior in both
class and in" numbers of attendance
than in any year past, and the
last one for the year is expected
to eclipse all previous records.
Tom Jones and his orchestra
will furnish the music for the occasion,
which is "nuff sed," as
this famous bunch of jazz artists
always deliver the desired quality.
At a meeting of the "A" Club
here Tuesday afternoon, Joe Harrison
of Montgomery Alabama, was
voted the Porter Loving Cup, the
annual gift of the Porter Clothing
Company for the best all-round
athlete at Auburn. Clyde A. Pruitt,
of Pine Hill was reelected as President
of the "A" Club.
Harrison is the only three letter
man at Auburn, having won his numeral
in football, basketball and
baseball. This record includes
three numerals in basketball, two
in baseball and one in football, and
the all-round star of the Tiger ranks
has succeeded in making a letter
in each of these three during the
present school year. In addition
to his brilliant athletic record
Harrison has the distinction of being
elected to Spades, a senior honorary
society for scholastic work,
Priutt's reelection was largely
due to the active leadership he has
shown during the past year as
President of the Club. The popular
gridiron hero has shown much
initiative and his efforts have played
a big part in making the organization
of the letter men the active
levee that ft-ie at present
Student Managers of the football
and baseball teams for the next season
were also elected at the meeting.
Hubert S. Jackson of Clair-mont
Springs, Alabama, was chosen
as football manager and J.
Parker Evans, Birmingham, Alabama,
was elected as baseball man-eger.
As assistants, Robert McNeill,
of Birmingham and Holt Pitts of
Pittsview were elected for' football
and 'Donald Johnson of Besr
semer, and Frank G. Crow of Florence,
Alabama.
SEVEN MEN ELECTED FROM
THE INCOMING SENIORS
BOTEGHA HOLDS
SPRING ELECTION
Botegha, the honorary Architectural
Fraternity on the campus
chose the following men at its
Spring election: A. F. Kelly, 24;
L. M. Jaysane, 25; A. H. Stockmar,
26; R. J. Leary, 26; W. J. New, 27;
M. G. Smith, 27; J. R. Wilkinson,
27.
These men were dully initiated
into the fraternity on the night of
April 28, 1924.
The Botegha was founded at
this college in the Spring of 1920.
It is strictly an Architectural organization
fostering the cause of
the Fine Arts. In the Department
of Architecture, it is an incentive
toward earnest and persistent
work, good fellowship and cooperation.
Elections to this organization are
based upon artistic ability, scholastic
standing, and personality. One
year's work in the department is
necessary for consideration. Eligible
Freshmen are chosen in the
latter part of the second semester.
Each year the Botegha holds an
exhibit of art work produced by
its members, every member being
required to submit two drawings
done in any medium. The exhibition
this year will be held Commencement
week.
Members of the Architectural
faculty belonging to this organization
are Prof. Frederic Biggin,
Prof. W. T. Rolfe, and Prof. D. R.
Deviating from precedent a little
in their recent elections, the
1924 Scarabs elected seven members
of the Junior class instead of
five as usual, to form the nucleus
of next year's membership in the
persons of C. A. Pruitt, S. D. Petersen,
H. S. Drake, C. B. Ollinger,
J. P. Evans, C, D. Ebersole, and L.
C. Patillo. These seven men will
choose three others from their
class next fall to complete the annual
number of ten members.
A public initiation for these men
will be held Saturday afternoon,
May 10, on the baseball field during
the game with the University
of Georgia. Egotistical speeches
and an organ grinder with bis
dancing monkey will feature the
program. Following this the serious
part of Scarabs will be administered
the candidates, after which
a banquet at the Tea Room for old,
new, and Alumni members is planned.
This organization strives annually
to combine the efforts \and interests
of ten of the most influential
Seniors in Auburn for mutual benefit
to the Senior class, student-body
-aad-nti stadeat g?saps- -asd- activities
with;which it comes in contact.
Besides being a Senior in
good standing, another important
qualification for Scarabs is that a
man must represent one or more
fields of student usefulness. Therefore,
men who are considered to
be popularly known on the campus
and of recognized merit, and
who are capable of using these fac-

CAPS AND GOWNS
FOR 1924 SENIORS
The Senior Class of 1924
will graduate in caps and
gowns, according to the final
uecision at a recent meeting
of the class. A committee is
already at work on the proposition
of arranging for the
new costumes and everything
will be in readiness for the
18th. Caps and gowns will
be worn at all the commencement
exercises, including the
sermon, the alumni address,
the class day program, and
the awarding of degrees. This
is a new practice but it is expected
that it will set a precedent
for classes in the future.

held its installation Monday
afternoon. At this installation the
local active members were initiated

Scabbard and Blade is a National
society of 59 chapters founded
at the University of Wisconsin in
1905. The various chapters are
designated as Companies and the
Divisions as Regiments. The present
total membership numbers
somewhat over 5,000.
Auburn Sabres, the local petitioning
body, was founded the early
part of February, this year and its
membership limited to the Seniors
of the R. O. T. C. Since its organization
it had the purpose in
view of petitioning the National
Society of Scabbard and Blade and
was extremely fortunate in seeing
its desire gratified so early in its
existence.
Scabbard and Blade is a society
that grants its charters only to
schools of recognized standing,

this group did some splendid
work during the past term. The
whole Council expressed its appreciation
of this good work. They
were further honored by having
as their sponsor the world famous
"Emma" Goleman. Interesting
committee reports were made on
the work done by the various com-mitttees.
The senior officers made

THOUSAND DOLLARS RAISED
BY VAUDEVILLE
Although there were only two
days in which to put through the
campaign to raise funds for banc
uniforms, the drive went over with
most pleasing results. Up until
ten o'clock on Wednesday morning
the total returns amounted to nine
hundred and fifty dollars, and there
were still a large part of the ticket
sellers to be heard from. Every indication
points to the factfffat"ljer
fore tlm complete tabulation is
made the results will go over one
thousand and approximately eleven
hundred.
It is the biggest thing that has
ever been put over in Auburn in
so short a length of time. While
the organization of ticket sellers,
etc., had been arranged beforehand,
nothing of note could be
done until Mohday morning. Then
it was that more than sixty students
took it upon themselves, to
use all their spare time in selling
tickets to the vaudeville which wa3
a huge success, Tuesday night. Yellow
tags could be seen everywhere
and before the drive was . over
nearly everyone who appeared on
the streets was wearing one.
73B" waalsarenfo^ be^accostec
ticket-seller and every inducer
made to get him to buy one.
uratively speaking, there were so
many tags to be seen that Auburn
looked like a field of yellow dandelions
floating in the breeze.
In addition to the liberal re-l
sponse of the student body, the^
faculty and the local civic organizations
supported the drive wholeheartedly.
An(i besides all local
contributions several donations
were received from Birmingham,!
and more are expected later. 1
The vaudeville which was the\|
nucleus about which the whole^i
drive Was based was composed exclusively
of local talent. Much,
could be said in praise of the go
acts which were staged, but
ports from them have already bee
spread abroad. Two performance
were given, the first to au-oyer-|
flowing house and the second
another large crowd. Such a varied
program of dancing, music,
magic, and black-faced comedy has
never before been seen in the town,
and nothing except favorable criticism
has been heard regarding the
whole show. Credit for the success
of the whole drive is due to
the untiring efforts of Bill Wood,
who planned the whole affair and
carried it through to such a successful
conclusion.

Those Tiger Tracksters
One thing that deserves more
favorable comment and much
praise at present is the Tiger Track
Team, which on last Saturday succeeded
in copping their third consecutive
dual meet. Georgia, Georgia
Tech and Tulane, all in a row.
That's fine I
Much credit must go to the cinder
path artists for their showing
this year as their record stands out
best among all Auburn's sports.
Track meets do not have the pomp
and splendor of a football game,
the band does not play, and the
enthusiasm of the spectators is not
so great as a basketball game, nor
"do they have the loud applause that
is given the baseball team, but the
men have been showing lots of
stuff along with their spirit and
have helped greatly to make it a
Lyear for Auburn. ^jCoagratu-j

have put Auburn on the map

way.
Mask Hath Its Charms
PISTOL TEAM COMPLETING
ITS BEST YEAR
R. 0. T. C. Units Assigned
to Summer Camp
Such a treat as was furnished
Jast week by the visit of the fa-i
mous Minneapolis Symphony orchestra
under the able leadership
of Henri Vanbrugghen to Auburn
will be—to use a musical term— [but a prelude to a much greater
program for musical development
on the part of music loving and
ambitious students in the future.
Already the musical interests of
Auburn are in the ascendency with*
a flourishing band, glee club and
orchestra. With the passing of each
year Auburn students are evincing
more and more interest in the
promotion of better music. In
other words each student is beginning
to comprehend that real
music and real music appreciation
consists of more than the mere
i dillettanti interest in the strumming
of a banjo, and mandolin, or
^the emitting of asinine noises
through the end of a saxophone.
With these harbingers of a musical
future in store for Auburn, it
! may readily be seen that it is the
beginnings that count. With a
student body% throughly in har-mpny
and with a desire to have
l a source from which real music
' L a y flow, it is but a step to thfe or-,
r
., ganization of a real school or con-l
servatory of music here in Auburn.
|r*"Therefore, it behooves those who
H e s i r e to see this come to pass, to
to foster their musical talent
ppreciation in every way pos,
|fer demanding good music
^ r d i n g it as an art that is
^^cultivation.
As the year draws to a close we
find that the Pistol Team is completing
one of the most successful
years that it has ever had. It has
l'ired 9 matches—won eight and
lost one (to Perdue). Among the
teams that have suffered defeat at
the hands of the Tigers are: Missouri,
Utah, Princeton, Wisconsin,
Oregon, Texas A. & M., Iowa and
Colorado A. & M.
There are three more matches to
be fired. They are with Illinois,
U. S. M. A., and L. S. U, The national
pistol match was fired on
May 7th, but the results are not
yet known. Last year Auburn won
the cup and at the present time it
is in her/ possession.
Auburn's total score for all the
jnalches-Jired this year is-14,729
against their opponents' 14,167.
Among those who have made good
records on the pistol team are:
Swanson, A. R. (Capt.'of the team),
Wood, W. B., Reeves, J. H., Wilder,
T. B., Mcintosh, J. W., Smith,
M. D., Smith, C. C, Miller, C. B.,
Barks, E. A., Cobbs, H., and Nelson,
R. The team was coached by
Sergeant Moxham and Private Dan-ielson.
Sergeant Moxham is one
of the best pistol shots in school
and his knowledge and training
have been the factors that have
given Auburn such a good team.
The Artillery will train at Fort
Bragg, N. C, the Infantry will
again infest Camp McClellan, Ala.,
and Camp Meade, Md., will be the
camping grounds of the Engineers.
All of the Juniors taking R. 0. T.
C. will be stationed at one of
these summer training camps for
six weeks. The Seniors in R. O.
T. C. will receive their commissions
in the Reserve Corp on Monday,
May 12th.
Websterians Hold Healed Election
ive
Politics! Yep, that was the life
of the last meeting of the year for
the Websterian Literary Society.
Demosthenes would have been a
small light in the presence of the
orating politicians at the election
of officers for the next yearr~ A
nominating committee had been
appointed by the president and Bill
Harvey, Ruth Kernodle and J. C.
Jester had been selected as presidential
possibilities. Quite a few
orators pleaded in ^avor of each
candidate and in this department
Harvey's forces showed most ability
in this/line. The first ballot
resulted in a tie- between Harvey
and Jester, with the third member
of the gallant trio eliminated, and
a second ballot gave it to Jester by
a small majority.
Officers of the society for the
first semester of next year are: J.
Q. Jester, President; L. Bradley,
Vice-President; Ruth Kernodle, secretary;
Georgia Thomas, Plainsman
reporter; S. H. Lynne, critic; W.

How Tigers Are Batting
The slugging Tigers have elevated
their batting mark from the
lowly .209 to the munificent, one
of .227. Three players have boosted
themselves above the magic .300
mark, these hitting gentlemen being
Messrs. Allen,- Stewart and
Griffin. While Rough Ed is the
leader with .333, Cecil Stewart has
established himself as the most
consistent man with the bludgeon,
as he has connected safely in 15
out of 17 games. Red Griffin has
a .308 average, and it would have
been much higher, had it not been
for the annoying habit of opposing
outfielders to jump high in the air
and spear home-run drives off
Red's bat. t h e averages:

If you knew
what ageing in wood
does for pipe tobacco
. Even the finest Kentucky
Burley Tobacco (and that's the
kind we use) is green and raw
when it's pulled. You could hardly
smoke one pipe load of it.
And here's where Velvet is different:
Our ageing takes out that
rawness and harshness, and
makes the tobacco mild and mellow
and gives it fine flavor. Ageing
in wood does what no artificial
treatment can do.
Remember—Velvet Tobacco
aged in wood. v-~

Did you ever see aNgirl whose
eyes were brighter than sapphires,
whose hair was finer than silk,
and with advertisement, "A skin
you love to touch," whose form
made Venus look like a washerwo
man, who thrilled every nerve in
your body and gave your heart St.
Vitus' dance, and after much indecision
you tightened your tie

dance. And she replied with a

Woman's Student
Gov't Elects Officers
At a recent meeting of the Woman's
Student Government organization
the new officers for next
year were elected. The association
has done splendid work this
year under the supervision of the
student council, and even better
cooperation and development are
anticipated for next year. The following
are the new officers:
President, Elizabeth Collings.
First Vice-President, Lysbeth
Fullan.
Second Vice-President, Lelia
Jordan.
Secretary, Alma Bentley.
Treasurer, Floy Moses.
The freshman representative will
be elected soon after school opens
in September.
a record of not "having lost a dual
meet in over two years.
Only four men, Captain Pippin,
Stockelberg, Marquis and Lock
were members of the team last
year, which shows the large number
of new men that have helped
to make the good record of the
present season, and also the amount
of material that will be back next
year. However, three good men,
.Stockelberg, Pippin and Boyd are
the trio that will not be back and
these men will be sorely missed.
The outstanding performer of
the year was Stockelberg, who has
won every start this season. In
each dual meet he took both the
half mile and the mile and made
his best time in the Tech relay
medly sprint when he stepped the
half mile in one minute, fifty-nine
and four-fifth seconds. In points
scored, Marquis leads the lanky
lad, having a slight better than ten
points per meet which is the
record of Stockelberg. Marquis
competes in four events, the high
and low hurdles, the high jump and
the poje vault and is the most versatile
man on the squad.
Captain Pippin has been making
better than.twenty-one feet all season
in the broad jump and has
taken two- firsts and one second
place in the three meets. Greene,
a first year man on the, team, has
hit the sawdust for better than
twenty-one feet in the broad jump
and bids to go far better with a
little more practice. He is also
showing up well in the sprint
events.
Nelson, a sophomore who is
making his first effort for the
Tigers, has been.d^ng.fine^.wqrji,
in ihm sprints. Ph his six
starts in the* dashes he has placed
each time, winning, two firsts and
taking a quartette of second places.
He also finished fourth in the
sprint medley in the Tech relays,
among a large number of entries.
In the quarter mile, Creel has
won two firsts and one second
place in the three meets, this being
his first year on the team.
Reeves and Boyd have been alternating
in their wins of the
two miles and between them
h'ave won nineteen of the possible
twenty-four points in this
event for the three meets. Both
Whites, which are toying with the
weights, have succeeded in beating
the previous Auburn records
with the javelin this season, M.
White first with 161 feet 11 inches,
and then C. White went him one
better with 165 feet, 5 inches.
Bobby Lock stands out strong in
the individual performance in
that he broke the southern record
for the pole vault when he cleared
the bar at 12 feet, 5 inches against
Tulane last Saturday. He had previously
been tied by Waller of
Vanderbilt in the event in Atlanta
a week before when the two went
over at 11 feet, 11 inches.

SCABBARD AND BLADE
INITIATION HELD
(Continued from Page 1)
both as a school and in R. 0. T. C.
Auburn has indeed been worthy
of such recognition and should feel
proud that such recognition has
been conferred.
The installing officers, Cadet
Lieutenant Colonels Soukup and
Davis, of University of Illinois,
carried out the complete program
in the best possible manner and
are certainly the type of gentlemen
that would do "any "school or organization
credit. Auburn's impression
of Scabbard and Blade
through them has been a very
pleasing one.
The active members initiated
were: F. M. Orr, W. T. Wood, W.
E. Matthews, F. J. Almgren, F. K.
Stockelberg, W. K. Mosley, F. K.
Hanlin, N. Y. Horn, C. M. Smith,
R. L. Simpson, J. E. Wiatt, P. H.
Howard and M. M. Collins. F. C.
Hahn will be initiated at a later
date, due to his unavoidable absence.
The Associate members
initiated were: Major Hatch, Captain
Compton, Captain Groves,
Captain Althaus, Lieutenant In-galls,
Lieutenant Beers and Lieutenant
Jones. Captain Cushman
will be initiated at a later date, due
to his unavoidable absence. The
election of Juniors will take place
at an early date and the initiation
of these men promises some excitement.
Good English
Seniors may secure a few pointers
in the use of good business
English in making applications to
the various business houses in the
future for jobs by perusing'the following
letter kindly sent by Miss
Maria Whitson (a former Auburn
graduate) with the General Electric
Company. It is really a letter
of .application that was received
by her company.
27 Yuen Ming Yuen Road,
Shanghai, China
(Udated)
Shanghai, China.
Dear Sirs:
I am Wang. It is for my person
al benefit that I write to ask for
a position in your honourable firm.
I have a flexible brain that will
adapt itself to your business, and
in consequency bring good efforts
to your honourable selves. My education
was impressed upon me in
the Nanking University in which
I graduated number one. I can
drive typewriter with good noise
and my English is great.
My references are of the good,
and should you hope to see me
they will be read by you with
great pleasure.
My last job has left itself from
me, for the good reason that the
large man has dead. It was on account
of no fault of mine.
So honourable sirs, what about
it. If I can be of big use to you, I
will arrive on some date that you
should guess.
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) K. C. Wang
Hard to Kill
A grouch seldom locates in a
healthy body.
_A Hard Boiled Egg really has no
thicker shell.
No cement will ever mend a
broken promise.
Heine for some people is where
the automobile roads are smoothest.
"The human being is the hardest
animal to kill," a young surgeon
remarked in the course of a conversation
the other day.
'I have made this statement to
many noted surgeons, am mg them
George W. Crilej and all have
agreed Jtjs $&BF be iOflttimeri,
This young man also said that,
conditions being the same, a man
can outrun any other animal.
"Remember Tom Longboat, the
Indian?" he said. "He was, a perfect
specimen of a man. He kept
himself in the finest condition by
constant training. Longboat ran
against a race horse for 10 miles
and won.
"Rabbits can be run down by
tiring, them out. Reindeers have
likewise been run down by men
on foot.
"The reason we have come to
think of man as a weakling in physical
power is because he has
abused his body. Yet the best evidence
of man's tremendous resources
is the fact that his body
can stand this abuse. He overeats,
overworks, undersleeps, takes no
exercise, lives in stuffy rooms and
then in a sudden crisis, withstands
the shock of a major operation.
"No other animal on earth could
do it. Nor should man try to do
it. If man took half the care of
his body that the average animal
does his effectiveness would be
trebled."

A woman in my neighbornood

She complained and it
was fixed so promptly and so well
that she decided the company

So she called up the telephone
company.
"I want to report that our telephone
service is better—"
"Just a minute," sal-1 the young

"I just wanted to say that our
telephone service is better," she
announced to the trouble department.
"What's the trouble, please?"
"There is no trouble. The
trouble's been fixed. It's all right,

"What did you say—?"
At that point the woman hung up,
