TO BE FEATURE
F0RT0NIGHT
The first "A" Club dance of the
year will be held Saturday night in
the gymnasium. The d«nce will be­gin
at 9 o'clock and a large crowd of
students and Alumni are expected to
be present. All members of the
Clemson team are cordially invited
to attend.
Music for the dance will be fur­nished
by the Collegians. Many out
of town girls will be here for the Au-burn-
Clemson game, and it is ex­pected
that a large number of them
will remain over for the dance.
October 7, 8, and 9, are the dates
that have been set for the Sophomore
hops this year. There will be both
morning and afternoon dances given
by the interfraternity organizations,
on Friday and Saturday. The morn­ing
dances coming from 11 o'clock
until 1, and the afternoon dances
from 4 until 6.
Music for the hops will befurnished
by the Melody Artists of Atlanta, Ga.
This orchestra has served with great
success at Mercer, Georgia Tech, and
the University of Georgia. During
the past year the Melody Artists have
built up a fine rputation in Atlanta
and have become very popular, there
and elsewhere. Although it will be
the first appearance of this orchestra
in Auburn, it is thought that their
brand of music will be highly appre­ciated.
The rates for the dances have not
been definitely decided upon, but will
be announced later. The proceeds of
the hops will go toward the scholar­ship
fund of the Athtletic Associa­tion.
Regulations for all college dances
of the year are given below and spe­cial
attention is called to sections 6

ATTENTION STUDENTS
Recently several magazine covers
were removed from the Y. M. C. A.
reading room and converted into1
loose-leaf note books. Possible those
who purloined them were hard up for
cash. Unfortunately we all are and
the coffers of the local organization
are at very low ebb. One' can read­ily
see that to attempt to furnish
every student with a handsome note
book would be a rather expensive un­dertaking.
These covers were pro-ivided
for youf convenience. Please
leave them down there that others
may profit by the use of them also.

Welcome, Alumni, old and new! We
extend to you our geeting as' you come
once more to the Alma Mater, made
even more dear by the passing of the
years. We greet you as you tread once
more the halls of learning you once
trod as an ambitious undergraduate.
We greet you as you once more wend
your way to historic Drake Field to see
the gallant Tiger uphold the traditions
made so sacred by your own Tiger teams
in the past.
Welcome, Alumni! May your stay,
though brief, be filled with pleasure
and may you once more live over the
halycon day* when you were an Auburn
student.
HOMECOMING
Today the doors of Auburn are thrown
wide to your enjoyment. The town and
the college are yours for this short period
in which you will doubtless live over anew
the scenes of your youth. We are glad
our interest in your Alma Mater. It is
that you have by returning so manifested
to you and to those of your number who
were not so fortunate as to be able to
come down with you that we wish to ad­dress
a few words.
Realizing that Auburn has, in a meas­ure,
tried to keep apace with the world
and that many improvements have been
made here that may or may not be com­patible
with the conception, especially of
the old grad, of what Auburn should be.
But before you condone or condemn pause
a moment to consider that the student of
this institution is the product of that en­vironment
created by your modern neigh­bor
of yourself. Instead of undergoing
a metamorphis when he arrives in Auburn
he brings his new ideas and ideals with
him and practices them free from parental
restraint. We are not referring to the
petty differences inherent in every normal
American lad but to those eccentricities of
character which are the rule in adolescence
and growing manhood and which find an
outlet in the freedom he enjoys here.
A member of the class of '12 was once
heard to remark, on hearing that 7:00
o'clock revile and daily convocations were
things of the past, that things were not as
they had been. Truly, they are not. We
are optimistic enough to believe that the
college has evoluted to a higher plane. If
old practices have been abolished and new
institutions established on the campus it is
because the officials of this school whom
the board of trustees have seen fit to place
in charge of affairs have found them either
useless or detrimental.
Fortunately, for us, most of you have
kept abreast of the times and will pos­sibly
rejoice in the progress that has been
made here since your graduation. You
will find nothing amiss in the changed
aspect of the college or the town. To you
we extend the bond of fellowship and un­derstanding.
Of those who believe that radical re­constructions
should be the order and that
we should return to pre-war standards we
crave the indulgence of a little broad-minded
thought and point out to you the
evidences of what the years have brought
to us. Auburn men still go out into the
world and fill responsible positions as they
ever did and tradition has woven about
the school an integrity and dependability
unsurpassed by similar educational cen­ters.
When you step on the campus you will
find a different type of man externally,
possibly, than was here in your day. But
you have seen that "big team" battle
Clemson and you have seen the same de­termination
to win squarely; the same un­derlying
spirit that has made Auburn a
glorious name in the realm of sports. You
will also find that same sportsmanship pre­vailing
that has become a requisite to one
who represents this school.
Engage, if you will, any of the boys in
conversation and you will note that same
fixity of purpose and that same loyalty
that flourished in the "good old days"
when you were a freshman and on speak­ing
terms with the heavy end of a paddle.
Lastly, we hope that you have enjoyed
coming home, that it has been one of the
most pleasant days of your life. Always
remember that our services are at your
instant command and that our best wishes
follow you back into your office or shop.
TO OUR DADS
We are glad that this day has been
officially designated as "Dads' Day." It
is such a small manifestation of the es­teem
in 'which we hold our fathers and
such an easy payment of the debts we owe
them that we hesitate in setting apart a
single day. But it is only symbolical as is
Mothers' Day. Every day should be Dads'
Day for those of us who are so fortunate
as to have a father to advise and counsel
us.
The foundation upon which the super­structure
of America has been reared is
the family altar and its success has been
dependent upon the strength of our par­ents.
The home is the oldest and by far'
the greatest of American institutions and
too much emphasis cannot be placed on
its value as a nation builder. As the
head of the household, the man and father
has ever shaped the course of the ship
of state.
Intimate relationship between father
and son has been sung by many bards and
the story has been the theme of several
masterpieces of literature. Several of the
most recent literary critics have taken it
upon themselves to smile cynically at senti­mentalities
who do not attempt to con­ceal
their devotion for their parents. We
are not so superficial in our thinking as to
condone this criticism. Our fathers should
be revered and respected. No matter what
their faults may be it most assuredly can­not
be said that they are not interested
in our welfare and solicitous of our fu­ture.
There are doubtless many dads here to­day
who never had the opportunity of go­ing
to school and who are sending their
sons here at a great personal sacrifice in
order that they may have the chance de­nied
them by adverse circumstances. We
are most sincere in our respect for them
and we want them to feel as much at
home as though Auburn were their Alma
Mater.
What a pride and joy it must be for
fathers to return to see their sons tread­ing
the same paths they trod as boys, to
fight for the Orange and Blue as they
once fought and leading the same clean
life, inspired by the ideals they helped
create. We glory in this pride and pray
that the time may never come when an
Auburn graduate is ashamed to send his
son to the college from which he received
his degree.
For all of you fathers, whether you are
here today in company with your son or in
remembrance of that boy who has joined
Auburn's Legion of Honor in the other
world, there is a welcoming smile and a
friendly grasp of the hand. The institute
is proud to do you homage. Come back
whenever you may for we are proud of
you and want our friends to meet our
dads.
Fathers, we are grateful to you for the
many acts of kindness we have received
at your hands. Accept our heartfelt thanks
and believe in our adoration of you as a
father and as a man. .
NEW BAND UNIFORMS
Because of the unusually iarge number
of freshmen applicants for places on the
band and the general interest manifested
in the organization both within the college
and throughout the state, it was recently
decided to increase the number from forty
to sixty-five musicians. This will entail
an addition of fifteen uniforms to the
wardrobe and consequently the expense will
have to be born by the student body. In
order to purchase the uniforms now worn
by the band and which is, incidentally, the
most beautiful in the South the college
called on the students and they responded
nobly. At a minstrel given for the benefit
of this fund Langdon Hall was packed to
its capacity.
In order to provide a sufficient sum for
the purchase of this new raiment a play
will be presented some time in the near
future. Only through the cooperation of
the boys can this project be put over and
the play justify itself. We feel certain
that each loyal son of Auburn will do his
part when called on.
All the money left over after the uni­forms
are provided will be used in the
creation of an "A" Club Scholarship.
Loyalty to his college, his state, and his
team demands the whole-hearted support
of this movement by each individual on
the campus. Will you do your part?
Those of us who have been here several
years realize the tremendous part which
the band plays in the affairs of the insti­tute.
Naturally one of its best known
functions is that of providing inspiration
to the team out on the gridiron. How­ever,
there are other features of its annual
program just as important. For instance,
the trip down to Mobile which the band
made last year to play at Mardi Gras was
one of the best advertisements of the school
and the most productive of interest ever
to be undertaken here. The large number
of freshmen from Mobile registered this
year may be partially explained by this
pilgrimage of the band.
We hope that this same organization will
get to accompany the team down to the Tu-lane
game in New Orleans this fall and
believe that the publicity it will attract
will more than justify the expense in­curred
by the trip. What an inspiring
sight it would be to see a sixty-five piece
band, clad in the gorgeous blue robed,
lined with brilljant orange, sweeping down
the new stadium to the stirring tune of
"Glory, glory, dear old Auburn." Yet the
realization of this dream can be effected
only by the students themselves.
If there is any love for Auburn in your
heart, if you reverence her traditions, re­spect
her integrity, and glory in her
prowess you will pledge your support to
this movement. If you are a real sup­porter
of that Tiger Eleven and want to
see Auburn once more on the pinacle of
Southern football you will eagerly seek a
means whereby you may aid this project.
If the grand old Auburn Spirit has been
instilled in your veins you will grasp this
opportunity to serve your Alma Mater.
Let us all get behind and push with one
accord, governed by a single purpose, and
the Auburn band will be a source of pride
to every man whose heart has been warmed
by contact with the ideals of this grand
old institution.
THE BAND MUST HAVE FIFTEEN
UNIFORMS. THE CLUB OUGHT TO
HAVE A SCHOLARSHIP. WILL YOU
DO YOUR PART?
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE FRESHMEN
THAT ARE GOING TO THE
HOWARD GAME
In view of the fact that a good many
of the freshmen are going to Birmingham
to see the Tiger introduce the Howard
Bulldog to the sausage grinder, we deemed
it wise to supply a little advice to these
dumb rodents that wish to venture to the
magic city. .Why it is called magic no one
knows. It is thought it is because they
sell Magic Yeast there. On arriving in
Birmingham you will see the L. & N. Depot.
This masterful edifice is the work of some
of the best architectural talent in the state,
and with a little improvement it should
be equal to Brown Hall Engineering Hall.
This is located on Morris Avenue. This
avenue is noted for its paving and its liv­ery
stables. It contains enough cobble­stones
to pave Dexter Avenue, Montgom­ery,
although it is almost as wide as the
average street in Atlanta.
You may be desirous to know where to
find Howard College. Howard College is
located in the suburd of East Lake. This
suburb is renowned for its reform school.
It is also adjacent to Avondale, famous
for its Zoo. It is not known whether the
students at Howard have research in evol­ution
at this Zoo or not.
But if you desire to see the game, don't
go to Howard College. Go in the opposite
direction. You may get to Rickwood park
by boarding a "South Ensley" car and ask­ing
the conductor to put you off at the
desired destination.
After the game there will be a desire to
celebrate. This may be done very suc­cessfully
in Pratt City, another suberb.
This place is noted for its refined citizenry
and its beautiful scenery. In case you
miss any of your friends, the county jail
is located on the corner of Fourth Avenue
and 21st Street, and the city jail is in the
bottom of the City Hall, on the corner
of Fourth Avenue and Nineteenth Street.

DRESS UP!
"Talk luxury!" shouted a clothier to
his ':<3 ciates in a national organization
of clothiers at Chicago recently. There
is much in the phrase; still more behind
it, for civilization started when we began
to put on clothes; it took another step
when we began to take 'em off, since
which time, as one commentator on
clothes puts it, very largely history has
been a matter of "dressing and undress­ing."
.We owe much to Beau Brummel;
but we owe even more to the washer­woman,
now evoluted into mangles,
wringers, pressers and other mechanical
devices used by our launderers. Clean
clothes haye not always been the rule
with humanity. Correct clothes are com­paratively
recent.
"The tailor's record is almost the story
of mankind; in any event it is more in­timate,
more pertinent, too, than Wells'
story, or Van Loon's, for it is our meas­ure,
from day to day, from age to age.
"Chesterfield's dictum that the young
man slovenly in dress would offend the
nose at forty, still is true, a danger which
Americans, young and old, happily have
avoided, for while Americans may have
been too prone to accept fashion decrees
from Paris to London, at home they have
leaned heavily on the tailor and the laun-dryman.
"Have we not just read of a screen star
who had 1,000 pairs of socks and other
things in proportion? Only recently, too,
when a famous feminine artist, in a peeve,
threw her trappings out of the window
the street was almost choked with exquisite
things of one kind and another. 'Talk
luxury' in the matter of clothes? Ameri­cans
live it. Nor are they unwise in doing
so.
"Luxuries, more than any other single
factor, or as much,1 at any rate, have
contributed to American greatness.
Dickens may have found rattling spurs
on the boots of American planters, and
stains on the immaculate bosoms of their
shirts; but boots were never cut from
finer leather, nor fashioned by defter
craftsmen; nor have our shirtmakers
now 'any edge on the superb artistry of
the shirtmakers of that earlier time in
American history. Once "drunk and
dressed up" was a current phrase in
America, meaningful enough in the time
of its popularity; but, under the urge
of new ideals, and in obedience to new
rules of conduct, we have whittled the
phrase down to the two last words—
'dressed up.'
"Nor are our rustics lagging in this
fashion parade; they no longer shamble
slouchily in baggy bluejeans; they no
longer polish brogans with potblack or
green persimmons; the rustic and the ur-banite
are now cut from the same cloth,
so far as fashions in clothes, headgear and
footwear are concerned. One of the finer
things about America is that our luxuries
are permeative; they have filtered through
to all the layers of the social organism,
with the result that all classes of citizens
share in these blessings. The American
mechanic is as much at home in a dress
suit as the banker, the professional man
or a man of any other class or calling.
"Clothes have been a prime factor in
the democratization of sentiment, custom,
polity, and in all that goes into the form
and substance of our distinctive national­ity.
When the worker crawls out of his
overalls dresses for his week-end outing he
is of a piece with the dandiest of our
boulevardiers. Of course our clothiers,
arid.their aides, the tailors, cannot make
Brummels out of all of us, for, some of us,
like poor Cyrano, are haunted and pursued
by the shadow of a "profile on the wall;"
but they do much for us, much to gloss over
imperfections, and to put impressiveness
into lines that are right, and so fit us into
the grand parade where we step proudly,
and unabashed, with the neatest and finest
of our fellows. "Cheap clothes make a
cheap man," said an American statesman.
Our tastes run high, and whether times are
lean or fat, we obey the command of our
imperial democracy to dress up!"
COLLEGE OR COUNTRY CLUB
"Recently the colleges—particularly the
Eastern ones—have been telling their trou­bles
to the newspapers. Two things, it ap­pears,
are worrying them; first, the ten­dency
of athletics to become the chief pre­occupation
of those youths who are some­times
ironically called 'students' and, sec­ond,
the fact that more people are clamor­ing
for entrance than the colleges can pos­sibly,
for their own. good, attempt to edu­cate.
Various criteria for selection, rang*
ing all the way from the relative attrac­tiveness
of the candidates as revealed by
their photographs and family trees to rig­idly
prepared psychological examinations,
have been suggested but all have their de­fects.
And yet the double dilemma is much
like that which faced the legendary Pull­man
porter who discovered one morning
that he had two pairs of nusmated shoes:
* AUBURN FOOTPRINTS «
One of the most pleasant surprises of
this year was the return of "Red" Arant.
Officially he has returned to take graduate
work and teach Biology. Zoology and evol­ution
for postime, but after careful in­vestigation
we have learned that his main
reason tor returning was to give the co­eds
a treat. There have been some wild
rumors to this effect floating around the
campus. We are now able to confirm them
all, regardless of content and source.
We take it that Coach Morey believes
in anesthetic—or esthetic dances judging
from the number of "September Mo r n s"
performed by the Auburn Football team
during the Chattanooga game, with those
slicker breeches.
At a previous meeting the Alpha Gamma
Rho voted to install a private phone for
"Shorty" Long, so that he may tend to
his numerous calls from the Zoo without in­terference.
It is thought that this will give
some of the other members a chance to
use the phone.
In another article in this issue is a list
of the pledges to the various frats. We
would' suggest that a list of the non-frat
freshmen also be published. This would
take up almost no space and these men
would have the highest honor by virture of
the fact that they have dodged successfully
all the different frat men here during the
freshman week in quest of pledges. Let's
give honor to whom honor is due.
Smith Hall has started a new fad in
menus by serving one-half of a Nabisco
wafer with the desert. We approve of this
idea most highly. Half rations would be
very appropriate for half wits. There are
quite a number of these .among the pres­ent
ruling (freshman class). We would
also suggest that this "half idea be car­ried
in other lines than diet. The col­lege
wants money. This can be solved
with the simple idea of cutting expenses
in half. In order to save space we would
suggest the use of half beds in the various
boarding houses. The Western of Alaba­ma
might save money by using half a rail­road—
by that we mean one rail. The
profs could save energy and time by cut­ting
the time of a standard recitation to
a half hour. The score in last week's
football game would look better if we
one need only put the two problems to­gether
to find the solution.
"•If, for example, Harvard really wishes
a small and select group of students who
are attracted only by the fame of her pro­fessors
and the opportunities which she
offers for the acquirement of learning and
culture, then let her simply abolish inter­collegiate
athletics for four years by way
of an experiment. No one can doubt that
the immediate result would be the reduc­tion
of the freshman class to a manage­able
size, and no one can maintain that
any hardship would be done. It i$ highly
probable that there are many worthy stu­dents
of unlovely feature and unimpres­sive
ancestry; it is also highly probable
that psychological tests do not furnish a
perfect criterion of that complex of qual­ities
which make the scholar or the genius;
but no man who refuses an apportunity to
go to college because he is denied the priv­ilege
of enjoying the hysterics induced by
a cheer-leader can maintain that he is be­ing
denied his inalienable right to the de­velopment
of his mind. And as to the
sound mind in a sound body, there are oth­er
and more eficient ways of cultivating
it than are afforded by intercollegiate foot­ball.
"The fact is that the colleges have
brought their problem upon themselves and
that they have no good excuse for com­plaint.
They have themselves elaborated
the social aspects of college life, they have
deliberately made the universities as at­tractive
as possible to those who have scant
interest in things intellectual, and then
they bemoan the fact that they are be­sieged
by hordes of not very serious-mind­ed
youths. What, we wonder, do they ex­pect,
when they pay five times as much
for a coach as for a professor and spend
ten times as much for a stadium as for
a laboratory? The game which one takes
is bound to depend upon the bait which
one uses, and a man who opened a golf
course would not be surprised to find that
those who came to play were not partic­ularly
interested in metaphysics. Obvi­ously
the way to attract a group of stu­dents
capable of profiting by a college ed­ucation
is to run a college, not a country
club, and we* are willing to wager that
at the present moment the classrooms and
the faculties of American institutions are
amply sufficient to give such an education
to all who really want it."
-^NATION.
would discard the first half of that (But-^-
don't discard the last half. And to cap it
all we always feel half dead after listen­ing
to one of "Windy" Baughman's lec­tures
on Water Supply.
We understand that "Bob" Leary is still
on the job as the "Departmental shiek"
for the Architectural Department. It is
hoped that "Bob" will make even a greater
success of this office this year than in
years previous. There is no good reason
why he should not considering the increase
in supply of raw material in the form of
freshmen co-eds that have elected to study
Architecture.
It was learned that the lighting system
in the Architectural Drafting rooms has
just been overhauled, and is now working
in first class style. We predict as much
loafing around there after dark this year
as there has been in the last three years.
If you want to find out what course a
man takes, and don't care to ask him that,
ask him which course is the hardest.
We understand that several of our am­bitious
students would start the "Blind
Tiger" again. After several years.the stu­dents
will get used to the annual rejuvena­tion
of this publication, but we can not
understand why it always dies in its in­fancy.
Of course, if properly edited it
should be of more interest to the average
student than the "Auburn Engineer" or
the "Alabama Farmer." Another advant­age
would be the selling of it to the gen­eral
and educational students. These poor
over-loaded ags and engineers must envy
the general and Ed. students that have
no papers to subscribe to.
What has become of the good old days
when the senior class had its numerals
on the tank? We have observed every
numeral on it this year except '27. If
things are continued as they are we would
suggest the installation of an elevator to
the top of the tank for the freshmen that
aspire to place their numerals thereon.
This would be very valuable in saving the
worthless time of these rodents.
SAY, SENIORS! DOES THIS MEAN
ANYTHING TO YOU? If so, it is time
for action, and not for argumentation. The
rats of this year have even appropriated
the seniors' dignity.
Presbyterian College, South Carolina,
has a heavy. enrollment this year. They
defeated Clemson on the gridiron last Sat­urday
by the handsome score of 14 to 0.
It is to be remembered that Clemson is
to be the guests of the Auburn Tigers here
next Saturday.
The University of North Carolina an­nounced
last week that it had about forty
unclaimed scholarships this year. The of­ficials
are going to make new appointments
soon, unless the holders show up. >

With the hemispherical integrator the illuminating engineer measures light
intensities and distribution. These laboratory findings are practically
applied to improve our everyday illumination.
When the sun goes down
More than 350,000,000 incandescent lamps, with a
combined light of nine billion candlepower, make
city streets, stores, and homes brighter than ever
before.
In bungalow or mansion, workshop or factory;
dormitory or auditorium, there is no excuse for
poor illumination. We have cheaper and better
lighting in the electric lamp than ever before; for
the dollar that bought 1,115 candlepower-hours of
light with the carbon-filament tlamps of 1886,
now buys 16,200 candlepower-hours of light with
the MAZDA lamps.
Not only more light, but correctly applied light, is
the order of the day. The electric lamp, with its
flameless yet highly concentrated light source,
lends itself ideally to reflectors, shades, and screens.
It is controlled light—safe light. And illumina­tion
becomes an exact science.
During college days and in after life, correct light­ing
must ever be of paramount importance to the
college man and woman. Good lighting is the
worthy handmaiden of culture and progress.

Chattanooga Becomes Tigers Food SPORTS
Plainsmen Down Moccasins on Drake
Field Last Saturday in Season Opener
It was a poison, biting, striking
moccasin from the University of Chat­tanooga,
that held a growling Au­burn
Tiger at bay for three long
quarters but it was t h e same f angled
reptile that relinquished its six point
lead to allow the Orange and Blue
Bengal to win the opening game of
the season with a 15 to 6 score here
this afternoon,.
It was Pat Moulton, who had re­placed
Tuxworth at quarter in the
last minutes of play, that brought his
trained toes into action for a three-point
plaement kick from the 22 yard
line and displaced the telling anxiety
of the 3,000 odd Tiger supporters that
had gathered around the rectangular
lot knowing that the youthful Tiger
was in for a hard day. Moulton's
placement untied the six to six dead­lock
that resembled the final score of
Saturday's contest.

than a minute to play, handed the
fighting Moccasin another blow of
defeat when he intercepted Lauten-heiser's
pass and raced across the
goal line 25 yards away for a touch­down
that ended the game.
Extreme heat prevailed as the coat-less
throngs jamed into the stands
around Drake field. They got un­derway
at 2 o'clock. Auburn won
the toss and elected to kick with
Chattanooga defending the north
goal. Ellis kicked off to Bracewell.
The Sum Up
To sum up the game by quarters,
the first three~would clearly go to the
Moccasins, with Auburn threatening
only once during the first three pe­riods.
Auburn's inning came in the
last when the Tiger accumulated its
entire score. Never was the Tiger
able to keep the play out of their
territory. For the first three periods
the kicking of the Orange and Blue
punters was painfully ineffective,
practically all -the toe offerings of
the Auburn fortress going for ten and
15 yards. Later in the game, Nelson
opened with his punting that ran the
yardage up to 35 and 40 yards and
later Moulton increased the spirals
to 50 and 60 yards, with one netting
the Tigers 80 yards, a short roll being
included.
In the second quarter the Au-burnites
inaugurated their first thrust
of the game. With the' ball in Au­burn's
possession on the 50-yard line,
Frank Tuxworth, quarter, hurled a
40 yard pass to Baskin who ran four
before being downed.
Shotts then got two. At this point
Tuxworth again resorted to the air.
The pass was intercepted by Barrett,
Chattanooga half, on his own goal
line, and before being tackled he fell
out of bounds climaxing a beautiful
50 yard sprint 'to midfield. One
smash was tried into the Auburn line
with a small gain. On the next play
Lillard staged another spectacular
dash across the Auburn goal ; line,
for their own touchdown. Brockwell
failed to kick goal.
Allen Saves Day
The Chattanooga touchdown came
just after the Moccasins had threat­ened
the Auburn ramparts with a se­ries
of dazzling passes, tossed to Lau­tenheiser,
their objective being prin­cipally
Braidwood at left end. This
threat was brought to an abrupt end
when Ed Allen reached high into the
air, grabbed one of Lautenheiser's air
splitters and speeding 35 yards up the
field before being tackled. Auburn
lost possession of the ball on a fum­ble
on the second play after Allen's
sprint. Soon after the fourth peri6d
got underway Auburn gained posses­sion
of the ball on Chattanooga's 42
yard line. Shotts got two and
Tuxworth sneaked through the
line for five and first down. Ellis
fumbled and recovered, losing four.
Tuxworth passed to Ellis 20 yards
who ran 14 more for Auburn's first
counter. Moulton failed to kick goal.
The final quarter wore away with
neither side threatening until with
only two minutes left to play Moul­ton
came forward with his three
pointer. Auburn kicked off. The
Moccasins went into conference and
decided to let their final desperate at­tack
be a pass deep into Auburn's
territory. The pass flashed into the
arms of "Pop" Paterson, who forgot
he was a lineman and sped away for
the last touchdown, as Umpire Cun­ningham's
pistol shot ended the bat­tle.
Moulton failed to get the ex­tra
point.
Let it be said for Chattanooga, that
if they continue to improve as the
season goes on, they are going to
make it hot for the opponents on
their schedule. A well balanced team
with plenty of weight and they out­weighed
the Auburn team. A versa­tile
attack with canny passing and a
pair or so of long distance punters
was the type of team they presented
for the approval of the fans in their
opening game on Drake field. Braid-wood
at end, Newbern Fennell and
Lautenheiser in the backfield were
outstanding in today's game.
In the Auburn ranks, there were in­dividual
performances that looked
good but considerable attention will
have to be given interference, block­ing
and punting before the backs will
be very effective. Market at cen­ter,
though suffering from injuries
kept a hawkeye on the ball and he
and Salter at tackle were kept busy
during the forst part of the game
recovering fumbles. Baskin, the only
Auburn player to play the entire.
game, gave a good account of him­self
and handled the flank job in good
shape. Howard and Long at guard
were both effective.

Nothing was heard from our inter-sectional

is looked to with a sort of interest
akin .to curiosity. This is the only
intersectional game the Tigers take
on this year.
News From Camps
of Gridiron Foes
The outstanding "upset" of dope
in southern football circles last week
was the victory the Oglethorpe Pet­rels
scored over our ancient rivals,
Georgia Tech. Auburn always watches
the results of Techs games with a
keen eye for it is the game with this
worthy jfoe that crowns the climax
to our season on the gridiron each
year. Although the score, which
was 7-6, was far from decisive it may
serve to dampen the spirit of the
Yellow Jacket. Let us hope that we
can give it a good "wetting" Thanks­giving.
The other game in the south-that
proved quite a surprise to all inter­ested
was the Clemson—P. C. tilt.
The final score of that game was
14-0 with Clemson on the little end
of the count. This same Clemson
Tiger may prove to be entirely re­juvenated
Saturday when they "loch
up" with the Auburn Tiger.
We notice quite a coincidenct in
the way Sewanee defeated her op­ponent
Saturday and the way Au­burn
defeated Chattanooga. Bryson
College Led Sewanee by the count of
6-0 until the third quarter when the
Tiger from the hills of Tennessee
broke loose and scored 15 points.
This was exactly the amount that the
Auburn Tiger vanquished her foe.
We can expect much opposition from
these mountaineers when we meet in
Montgomery next month.
The Georgia Bulldogs seem to be
underway for another good season,
by the showing they made against
Mercer last week. In defeating their
opponents 20-0, the Georgians show­ed
plenty of speed on the offensive
and presented an impregnable line for
Mercer to hammer at. Even if the
Bulldogs are fast again this year we
doubt very much that they will be
able to run away from such men as
Snyder Nelson and Fisher. Auburn
is still smarting1 under the effects
of the 30-0 victory this annual foe
rung up against them last season' so
they are sure to prime for revenge
this fall.
Tulane had little trouble with their
opponents and opened the season
with a 40-0 victory over Louisiana
Tech. Heaps of new material seems
to have been uncovered by the Tu­lane
coach. The game with this Tu­lane
eleven looms-up as one of the
toughest engagements on the Tiger
menu.
Mike Donahue's team romped to a
47-0 victory over Louisiana State
Normal. We are always glad to have
L. S. U. on our schedule as it gives
rise to some friendly rivalry due
partly to the fact that Donahue is so
well known on the Plains.
Howard seemed to have plenty of
trouble winning their game last Sat­urday;
however they managed to ring
up a win over the Cadets from Ma­rion
by the count of 6-0. The How­ard-
Auburn game should attract
many of the Auburn supporters as
this is the first encounter of the sea­son
on foreign soil.
Plenty of Material
Out for Rat Team
That there is plenty of material on
hand for the Rat teams this coming
year is quite evident from the num­ber
of men <on the field last Saturday
in uniform. There was no end, to the
comments of the spectators, especial­ly
some of our old friends who are
really interested, on the wealth of
material on hand. Though we are
reasonable to expect some real foot­ball
from this crowd,- we can not ex­pect
them to perform as would a
Jess Hawley Tells
Football Secrets
This article is published in this
paper by permission of the Popular
Science Monthly and was written by
Jess Hawley, noted football coach at
Dartmouth. Dartmouth should hold
the especial interest of every- Auburn
student as it is the Alma Mater of
David Morey our ' much respected
coach.
Jess B. Hawley,' famous Dartmouth
football coach whose team last year
*
smashed time and again through
heavier opposing lines, winning every
game played, says that the secret of
the spectacular Green- successes lies
in rhythm.
"Rhythm, more than anything else,
is the factor responsible for such suc­cess
as I have had as a football
coach," he writes in the October is­sue
of Popular Science Monthly, re­vealing
how he has applied science
to football to obtain his. spectacular
results. "Timed unison in thinking
and acting gives eleven eager men
on a football team an.almost irnesist-ible
advantage over another eleven
that has not learned to coordinate
the actions of individuals into team
rhythm. It is one of the most essen­tial
qualities of a succesful football
team, both as an offensive and as a
defensive measure. I have proved
this, time ar>d again, during my years
of coaching at Iowa and at Dart­mouth."
It is an engineering fact, he points
out, that eleven men, timing their mo­tions
with an exactness that enables
the eleven to hit the opposing line as
one. man, can smash through much
heavier opponents with an ease that
would be utterly impossible if the
shock of attack were untimed, unsyn-chronized,
wdithout rhythm.
' "Possibly the best example of the
value of rhythm in football I can cite
is a play made by Dartmouth in the
Chicago game last year. Dartmouth
kicked off to Chicago. Our ends, of
course, went down with the ball. A
Chicago player tried for it, but
missed. The ball struck his head­gear
and bounded toward Sage, of
Dartmouth.
"Now remember, every Dartmouth
player was acting in timed unison.
Sage saw the break, knew that if-he
broke rhythm and tried for it, he
probably would recover the ball for
Darmouth, but he also knew that the
Dartmouth line was three or four
strides behind him and that Captain
Parker was in unison and movement
with him. He would throw Parker's
playing off if he broke unison. By
count, Sage continued his play, which
was to get his man out of the way for
team of experienced players. It. must
be remembered that these men come
from widely scattered areas and each
has his individual style of football,
each was brought up under a dif­ferent
system of coaching, and of
course, none of these men are well
acquainted with the Auburn style
and system. The chief causes for
their failure to show the proper team
work lies in these facts. y
Last Friday the third string Rats
journeyed to Notasulga to do battle
with "Hard Boy" Pruittfs team. They
came out on the short end of the
score, but. that is not so bad as it was
only 6-0. The fact that it was the
third team and that their first game
together is not to be scoffed at. It
must be remembred that they were up
against a team that has played to­gether
and had a line that averaged
about a hundred and seventy-five
pounds from end to end. Notasulga
has one of the best prep school teams
in this section and probably has the
heaviest high schol team in Alabam.
The game with them should be taken
as a fair indication of what our Rats
have in store for the other Rats of
the South this fall. Their first real
game is not many days off now and
they are still working with that early
season pep and will be ready when
the whistle signals -for the kick-off.
Frosh Scrimmage
Notasulga Friday
On Friday afternoon, September
24, Chester Sowell journeyed to Not­asulga
and carried with him 18 young
Tigers. He went over to give "Hard
Boy" Pruitt's team a practice game
"Hard Boy" is coaching the Notasul­ga
squad this year. The final score
of the practice game was Rats 6,
Notasulga 0.
The freshman found most of the
opposition in Notasulga's line. The
line was very heavy and also well
coached.
The freshman looked somewhat
ragged because they had not been to­gether
before. They tried only a
few passes but were successful in
the majority of those.•_
Boyd . was the most consistent
ground gainer while Larimore made
some mighty-good punts.
Both ends played1 well on defense
and offense.
The Rat line-up was: Burt, cen­ter;
Leitch and Allfrey, tackles;
Hall and Bottoms, ends; Turner'and
Stewart, guards; Boyd and Lester,
halves; Manley, quarter, and Lari­more,
full.
These were third string men but
according to Coach Sowell, some of
them will make a good fight for
first string.
Parker, so the latter could get the ball
and get away with it.
"Sage did just that. Rather than
break the perfect team rhythm, Sage
passed up the opportunity to grand­stand.
He undoubtedly could have
recovered the ball, and just possibly
might not have been downed in his
tracks.. But he knew, without once
turning his head to see, that Parker
was in rhythm and that Parker would
be on the ball at the exact instant
Sage was -blocking the Chicago play­er,
while the Dartmouth line was get­ting
into action.
"The result was that Parker ran
thirty yards for a touchdown."
In the systematic planning of team
structure and development, says Haw­ley,
the successful coach should ana­lyze
each player for the following in­herent
qualities, listed in the order
of their importance:
Courage, physical skill, and mental
capacity. . The last item includes abil­ity
to understand theory of plan and
its details, fast decisions and initia-

News Comments
on Homecoming
The following news taken from
Zipp Newman's "Dusting 'Em Off"
column depicts the impression that
our friend Newman received of "the
''village" while he was here last week
getting football dope for .his paper:
When old grads go back to the
lair of the Auburn Tigers for Home­coming
Day, .October 2, they are
going to see a different down town
Auburn. It is amazing what differ­ence
paved streets and concrete walks
can make in a -place. Auburn moved
along for years in the mud and dust,
but Auburn no longer moves along
in the mud and dust in the heart
of the Village of the Plains. A new
progressive spirit, inspired by the
Lions' Club, is sweeping over the
Plains and much good is going to
result in the change of heart. Auburn
is being made attractive for the stu­dents.
New frat houses are ' going
up. Stores are dressing up their win­dows
and for the first time in 14
years Auburn is booming. Verily
Auburn is not the once, dreamy lit­tle
town it was back in the days of
the old grads. The moderns are
not contented to move along in the
old rut. They are progressive, am­bitious
and anxious to make Auburn
more attractive.
It will do old grads good to go
GRIDIRON GAB
It seems that Auburn got more
than her share of hard luck from in­juries
in the tilt with Chattanooga
last week. Three of our most prom­ising
linesmen are reported as being
laid up with severe lime burns. Joe
Market received several bad burns on
the back and it is feared that he may
be out of the line-up for at least two
weeks. Salter and Andress were the
other two casualties of these painful
burns.
Gloom overshadowed the training
camp of University of Georgia as a
result of ne,ws that Van tJeisen, star
end of that institution would be out
of the game for the rest of the season
due to injuries received in an early
season scrimmage.
We notice that Georgia Tech has
started night practice and from the
showing they made against Ogle­thorpe
they certainly need some kind
of extra practice.
In speaking of Tech we are mind­ful
of the pace their last years cap­tain,
Doug Wycoff, is setting in pro­fessional
football ranks. Adrain
Maurer, of Oglethorpe, is his run­ning
mate.
Slaughter, from the last years
scrubs is giving some man a hot race
for one of the backfield positions. It
is very probable that this lad will see
some service in the game with Clem­son.
Granger is another back who
will most likely see some of the action
of the homecoming event. This di­minutive
half-back showed plenty of
form and ability last season.
Much interest is being shown on
the campus about the outcome of the
game between Alabama and Vander-bilt
to be played in Nashville next
Saturday. There are many who pre­dict
that the Commodores are going
to break the long string of victories
that the Crimson Tide has hung up
since they have tasted the bitter cup
of defeat.
Lindsley Scarbrough, a linesman up
from the last season's rat squad
showed up like an experienced vet­eran
in the fray against Chattanooga
and gives promise to develop into a
far better player. If he sustains no
serious in juries Scarbrough is going
to give somebody a hard fight for a
regular berth in the line.
The A-Club announces their first
dance of the season for Saturday
night, October 2. This should add
much to the gayety of homecoming
and meets with much enthusiasm
from the students.
"Bull' McFadden distinguished
himself as a coach of real ability last
Saturday in Montgomery when he
took his Cloverdale team out to Cram-ton
Bowl and tied the great Sidney
Lanier team. This showing is very
gratifying to the many friends of
"Bull" who expect to hear more from
this Cloverdale team.
Hard Boy Pruitt's Notasulga boys
defeated the third rat team 6-0 last
Friday in a well played and hard
fought game. Some good rat mate­rial
was uncovered in this game as
was the fact that J*ruit has one of
the strongest teams in this section of
the state.
Pea Greene's coherts were sched­uled
to play Tuskegee last Friday but
the enmy failed to arrive and Greene
did not get an opportunity to strut
his coaching abilites.
"Red" Brown is putting the rats
through some' hard scrimmages in
preparation of the coming game with
Marion Military Institute October 9.
This game is probably the toughest
encounter on the frosh • schedule.
The Marion team held the Howard
varsity to a 6-0 verdict; so we can
expect them to give the rats plenty of
opposition.
back to Auburn for the Homecoming
game between the Plainsmen and the
Clemson Tigers. The . changes that
have taken place within the past two
years will reveal that Auburn is
going forward despite handicaps. By
going to Auburn the old grad can
get a closeup of the 'task faced by
the Auburn coaches. He will be able
to study the football situation and
understand why the Tigers' prospects
are not tinted with an old rose shade.
Now is the time for every loyal Au­burn
son to lend his moral assistance
—1927 will take care of itself with
as fine a batch of football material
as ever entered Auburn coming up
from the Frosh ranks to strengthen
what will be practically the 1926
squad intact.
Abe Robinson, who lost to the Ti­gers,
last Fall through an elbow in­jury,
expects to be a member of the
1927 eleven. And was under the
care of Boston surgeons all Summer
and they have given him the assur­ance
that he will have full use of
his elbow within another six months.
The loss of Robinson, who gave every
promise of developing into as great
a center as Boozer Pitts, Carey Rob­inson
or Fats Lawrence, was a severe
blow to Auburn's prospects this year.
Morey had counted on Abe being
ready to go this Fall.
student manager of the football
eleven. Gob Smith is Bunk's chief
lieutenant. Right now it is all work
and no play for the student boses.
Red Roberts will again be on the
job as the Tigers' cheer leader. This
will make Red's third year as director
of Auburn yells and cheers. The
popular Mr. Bedie Bedez will fur­nish
the inspiration for Red to do
his stuff with a veteran band.
"We have 25 veteran tooters back,"
said Beddie, "and all we need is a
little practice to be in shape for the
big games."

"Courage, the great self-effacing
heart of a man, that is vital," declares
Hawley. . "Without courage, intellec­tual
capacity, brawn, skill—all sink
into nothingness.
"Two years ago Larry Leavitt,
Dartmouth fullback, gave a striking
illustraion of what sheer courage
will do. We had gone up against a
team that displayed unexpected abil­ity.
' Leavitt was not in the best
physical shape, and we were holding
him back for what we considered a
more important game. Toward the
end of the last half, however, the
score was a nothing-to-notliing tie,
and the ball was in our possession in
the middle of the field.
"Leavitt begged to be sent in. He
was. With him the team found just
one weak spot in the opponent's line
—just one. Again and again Leavitt
plunged through that spot. Hurt,
tired, and battered, he wouldn't quit.
Every time he hit he gained from
three to four yards; never more;
never less. With tears in his eyes,
but with joy and tremendous courage
in his heart, he fought on until he had
smashed his way across the goal line
—winning the game for Dartmouth."
AUBURN 'BAMA GAME IS
FAVORED BY LIONS CLUB
(Continued from page 1)
since the Lions Club is composed of
members of the faculty and business
men of the town it is accepted as in­dicative
of the feeling in Auburn with
regard to this matter.
Emmett Sizemore, former football
star and captain of the team of 1920,
presented the matter to the club and
spoke in favor of it. Only a brief
discussion preceded the vote, and not
a dissenting voice was heard.
On motion of W. D. Copeland, the
club extended its congratulations to
the newly elected mayor and city
council, and pledged its cooperation.
Mr. Copeland was a candidate for
mayor, and received a large vote.
W. D. Salmon, president of the
club, presided. A special program
was arranged by a committee, of
which Capt. K. G. Althaus was chair­man.
A unique feature was that each
member of the club was requested to
state the first job he ever had, and
the salary received. It showed that
the members came up from different
lines of work, although teaching was
the initial career of more than any
other occupation.
The club had as its guests Prof.
Milton Osborne; B. H. Smart of the
Farm Burau. Cotton Association; S,
H. Lynne, editor of The Plainsman;
and Paul Turner, captain of the Au­burn
football team.
Music was presented by Mrs. Mary
Drake Askew and Moreland Smith.
KAPPA DELTAS ENTERTAIN
AT MANY PARTIES
(Continued from page 1)
flowers and several rooms were open­ed
to the dancers. The music for
this occasion was furnished by Dick
Yarbrough, John McCaa, and Paul
Fontelle and there was very much
pep among the dancers. Delicious
punch and sandwiches were served
during the afternoon by Mrs. Baugh-man.
The honorees on this occasion
were Misses Frances Hickman,
Frances Moore, Sara Hall Crenshaw,
Minnie Motley, Mary Elizabeth Mot­ley,
Mittie Lee Stanford, Ann Lichty,
and the newly elected patronesses of
the Kappa Delta chapter at Auburn
who are Mrs. Annie T. Basore, Miss
Dana Gatchell, and Mrs. S. L. Toom-er.
Besides these, most of the mem­bers
of Kappa Delta and a number
C A M E L I
of boys were present.
Immediately following the tea
dance was a buffet supper given by
the Auburn Alumni Chapter of Kappa
Delta at the home of Mrs.- Easter.
Besides Mrs. Easter the hostesses
were Elizabeth Duncan, Mrs. Frances
Jones, Mrs. Brown, Mary Kyle Cald­well,
Mrs. W. W; Hill, Dorothy An-derson,
and Jennie Mcintosh. The
plates were very attractive and the
K. D. colors, green and. white, were
carried out in the ice cream, cake,
and mints. The guests at this supper
were the rushes, the patronesses, and
the members of the Kappa Delta
Sorority.
The final Kappa Delta party given
for the rushees was a Rainbow Bridge
party given by the K. D.'s in their
room above the Student Supply Shop.
The spacious room was made very
attractive with decorations in rain­bow
colors. The most outstanding
feature of the decorations was a rain­bow
across one end of the room. The
ends of it on either side came down
into a mass of fern and among the
fern at one end was the "pot of gold"
which contained prizes for the win­ners
at bridge. Other decorations
consisted of flowers and pot plants.
About sixty people enjoyed the game.
The top score prize for the girls was
won by Miss Margaret Taylor. It
was a box of stationery. Lawrence
Whitton made top score among the
boys and he was presented with two
decks of cards. In keeping with the
rainbow idea, green, pink, and white
ice cream with the corresponding cake
and mints were served. This party
formed a very pretty conclusion of
the Kappa Delta entertainments of
the week.

'DADS' DAY IS
FEATURE OF
HOMECOMING
Three years ago saw the beginning
of the last series of "Homecoming"
days. In former years there have
been "Homecoming" days, but there
have also been intervals in which
there were no days on which the
old Auburn men could be formally
welcomed back. Along with "Home­coming
Day" next Saturday there will
also be "Dad's Day" on which the
fathers of the Auburn students will
be at Auburn. It is to be hoped
that every man who has a son at Au­burn
will be here on that day. Of
course, there are many who cannot
possibly be here, but those who do
come are assured of a royal welcome.
"Dad's Day" is for the purpose of
showing the fathers of the students
into the life of the school to which
they have sent their sons and daugh­ters
to attain their higher education.
We feel sure that "Dad's Day" will
serve its purpose in showing the older
men the sportsmanship and the
friendly spirit of Auburn as well as
the scholastic side of the student's
life.
A program has been arranged for
Saturday. We hope the fathers will
remain over Sunday. On Saturday
afternoon Auburn will meet one of
her most ancient and most formidable
foes when she meets the Clemson Ti­gers
on Drake Field. In the past this
has usually been a memorable con­test
and there is no reason to think
that the one this year will be other­wise.
On Saturday evening there
will be a reception on the lawn of
the President's home for the students
and their fathers. The members of
the faculty will be in line to extend
their greetings to the visitors.
The students must surrender their
beds to their fathers Saturday night.
If they cannot find another one, they
may have to sleep in the street.
On Sunday morning the students
are expected to break a rule and go
to their favorite Sunday School with
their fathers. The ministers of Au­burn
will deliver a special sermon to
father and osn at the regular church
hour. Every student should go to
church Sunday, for he might get some
good out of it.
We believe that everybody in Au­burn
is glad to have these visitors
here, for it will bring the men over
i
the state and the school into closer
touch with each other. Then, too,
their visit will surely show them that
Auburn is even more than her splen­did
reputation .shows her to be. Af­ter
the older men arrive, it is up to
the Auburn men to show them a bit
of the famous Auburn spirit.

WORLD SERIES
BROADCAST BY
STATI0N_WAPI
Arrangements have just been com­pleted
for a play by play detail of
the World's Series baseball games to
be broadcasted from Auburn over
radio station WAPI, according to an­nouncement
of the radio officials here
today. The broadcast was made pos­sible
by the special courtesy of Vic­tor
Hanson, publisher of The Birm­ingham
News and The Montgomery
Advertiser, in a telegram received
from Mr. Hanson late Thursday af­ternoon.
Station WAPI was named
for Mr. Hanson on its installation
some months ago and is known as the
Victor Hanson radio broadcasting
station. • *
The first of the Yankee-Cardinal
games, the initial game of the World's
Series, went on the air this after­noon.
Each day the game will go
into the air until the series have
ended, except the Sunday game,
which begins at \ o'clock, central
standard time. The hour of begin­ning,
it is expected will vary with
the changes in the time belts, those
played in New York starting at 1 p.
m., while those played in St. Louis
will probably begin at 2 p. m.
Not only the World's Series went
into the air from WAPI this after­noon,
but the Auburn-Clemson foot­ball
game was broadcast play by
play. With the increased wave length
of the station, baseball fans through­out
Alabama and adjoining states
were able to folow the first game of
the series and the Auburn-Clemson
football game play by play by radio
from their own firesides.
LEGHORN HEN
HAS PASSED
300EGGMARK
Riley and Kintner's White, Leg­horn
pullet No. 538 has broken the
record of the 1,000 hens of "the Sec­ond
Alabama National Egg Laying
Demonstration in progress at Au­burn
by laying 301 eggs within 335
days, according to announcement by
John E. Ivey, supervisor of contest,
today. This is an enviable record
to. the credit of any single bird.
Other individuals of the contest
will reach or approach the 300 mark
by the end of the contest, Saturday
night, October 23. Second individual
No. 381, belonging to Eggline Farm,
has a total of 282 eggs to her credit.
An individual in the pen belonging
to Lee Poultry Farm has a total out­put
of more than 275 eggs'.
Reports given of high individuals
indicate that 25 hens have now
reached a production of 250 eggs or
better. The average production per
bird to date is approximately 175
eggs. This is a much higher record
than was recorded for the same
length of time in the first contest.

NOTICE
To members of Auburn Faculty
and Officials of Student
Clubs and Societies:
I want your cooperation in
the matter of keeping Auburn
on the map through the daily
press.
The newspapers want the
news about Auburn and we
have it here in big lots. The
job is collecting^-and reporting
it.
As official correspondent for
the newspapers of the state and
the Associated Press, I use my
office as the clearing house for
news of Auburn.
During the year you will have
information about meetings,
banquets, lectures, initiations,
distinguished visitors, etc., that
will constitute material for
news.
Let me have the facts. I will
put it in news form and get
it to the papers.
If your club or society is giv­ing
a public banquet or hold­ing
a meeting please allow me
the privilege of having a repre­sentative
there to get the news
"first hand." Better stories can
be obtained in this way.
Good news is always early
news. Get your facts in two or
three days in advance of meet­ings
for instance.
Let's keep Auburn before the
people of Alabama and the
South.
Call at Publicity Department,
First Floor, Main Building, or

the morning or 191-W dur­ing
the afternoon.
Your cooperation will be
greatly appreciated, I assure
you.
Sincerely yours,

PLANS FOR FIRST
FARMER ARE
BEING MADE
Plans are being made for the pub­lication
of the first Alabama Farmer
of the year. The first issue is to
make its appearance on the campus
during the early part of October.
Six years ago the first Alabama
Farmer was published by the Agricul­tural
Journalism class under Profes­sor
Saidla, and it merely consisted of
a handful of mimeographed sheets.
Today it is recognized by leading Ag­ricultural
Journalists as one of the
best publications of its kind in the
United States. It is published at
present by students of the Agricul­tural
club.
One section of the magazine is de­voted
to special feature stories, giv­ing
information on agricultural top­ics,
discussions of rural problems and
general news related to agriculture;
while another section deals with local
topics. Last year two new sections
were added to the publication, one
section devoted to Home Economics
and another section to Smith Hughes
work along with boys and girls club
work.
Subscription to the paper is entire­ly
voluntary as no student is required
to subscribe upon matriculating. The
price per year is. one dollar for two
subscriptions. The staff of students
receive no compensation whatsoever
for their services but give their untir­ing
efforts to their college paper. The
paper is financed and edited strictly
by the students in agriculture.
The board of control is composed
of four men, two seniorse and two
juniors, who are elected from year to
year by the Ag. Club. G. B. Phillips,
the present editor-in-chief, is chair-

man of the board of control for this
year. The editor-in-chief becomes
chairman when he is elected editor.
The purpose of the Alabama Farm­er
is to advertise the college; to give
practical information to those inter­ested
in agriculture, and to acquaint
students, alumni, and friends of the
institution with local happenings.
Great interest was manifested in
the first meeting of the Wirt Liter­ary
Society when it met on Tuesday
evening in their hall. The new mem­bers
as well as the old were very en­thusiastic
over plans of work for the
coming year. With the zeal that the
members of the society are beginning
the work it cannot help but be one
of the best years in the life of' the
society. The members are putting
forth every effort to make it the best
year. Professor Hamilton, of the
English Department, who is an hon­orary
member will help much in the
making the Wirt the best yet.
The city kid was roaming about
in the country when he came upon
a dozen or so empty condensed milk
cans. Greatly excited, he yelled to
his companions: "Hey, fellers, come
here quick! I've found a cow's
nest!"
The difference between fame and
notoriety is that notoriety generally
lasts longer. \
