Chosen To Lead
Christmas Dance

President, to Accompany
Miss Franke
Will Lead Honor Society Ball
BANQUET IS PLANNED
Informal Banquet Scheduled
Prior to Dance; to Be in
Baptist Church
BLUE KEY IS SPONSOR
Dean Judd be Toastmaster; Principal
Speaker Is As Yet Unannounced;
Program to Be Varied
Miss Mildred Franke has been se­lected
to lead the Grand March of
the Honor Society Ball, to be held
here on Friday night, December 9,
in the Alumni Gymnasium. Her es­cort
will be Herbert Croen, of Tarry-town,
N. Y., president of Blue Key,
the organization under whose leader­ship
the affair is to be held.
The dance will be preceded by a
banquet at the'First Baptist Church
at 6:30. Under the present arrange­ment
the dinner will be informal and
the Ball formal.
Twelve program dances are to be
held, beginning at 10:30 and ending
at intermission. The remainder of
the affair will be in the form of tag
dances.
More than 100 bids have been
mailed out, and a large number of
visiting young ladies are expected to
attend the affair. The committee in
charge of the dance and banquet also
believe that many faculty members
of the various fraternities will be
present with their wives.
Dean Judd, of the School of Edu­cation,
has been chosen toastmaster,
but as yet the principal speaker has
not been announced.
Blue Key, national honorary stu­dent
activities fraternity, is sponsor­ing
the affair, and it is largely
through the efforts of Calvin Black,
secretary of the society, that the
Ball has been made possible. It is
hoped that the honor societies who
have united to give the dance will
make it an annual affair in the future.
The purpose of the Ball is to bring
all honorary fraternities together
and to encourage a spirit of coopera­tion
among them. Miss Zoe Dobbs,
Dean of Women and Social Director,
has approved the affair and has ex­pressed
her hopes for its continuation
in years to come.
A unique arrangement of programs
is being worked, but will not be made
public until the banquet.
Major and Mrs. Franke, Lieuten­ant
and Mrs. Finch, and Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Jones have consented to
chaperone the affair.
The Auburn Knights, popular stu­dent
dance orchestra, has been en­gaged
to furnish the music for the
dance. Decorations are to follow
customary Yuletide lines.
The Christmas Ball inaugurates a
new and individual social event on
the campus, and does much to fill in
the social bareness of the period be­tween
the Sophomore Hop and Junior
Prom. It is expected to remedy a sit­uation
that is taken care of in the
Spring by the Interfraternity Council
Ball and Military Ball.
The societies engaged in sponsor­ing
the event are: Blue Key, Tau
Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, Spades,
Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Kappa
Phi, Cardinal Key, Phi Lambda, Eta
Kappa Nu, Scarabs, Kappa Delta Pi,
and Phi Delta Gamma.
•Presidents of these fraternities
are: Blue Key, Herbert F. Croen, of
Tarrytown, N. Y.; Tau Beta Pi,
Rhea Lapsley, of Selma; Scabbard and
Blade, John R. Chadwick, of Nash­ville,
Tennessee; Spades, no officers;
Omicron Delta Kappa, Frank Noble,
of Tuskegee; Cardinal Key, Libby
Jean Israel, of West Blocton; Phi
Lambda, Calvin Black, of Mobile;
Eta Kappa Nu, Thomas Curtis, of
Fairhope; Scarab, John R. Farris, of
Mobile; Phi Delta Gamma, Roy W.
Wages, of Birmingham.
Miss Mildred M. Franke, popular member of the Auburn younger
set, who will lead the Grand March of the Christmas Ball with Herb­ert
Croen, of Tarrytown, New York, as her escort.

Keys Will Initiate Pledges With Ceremony Thursday;
Full Attendance Urged by President of Organization
The Keys, interfraternity social
organization, will hold the initiation
for this year's pledges from the
Lambda Chi House Thursday night,
December 8 at 7:30 o'clock. All the
old members will assemble a few
minutes early to arrange a few minor
details of the initiation. A full at­tendance
has been urged and every
lodge that has a Keys member is ex­pected
to be present.
About twenty men in the pledge
group are to be taken into the local
chapter. Many of the most outstand­ing
freshmen and a few upperclass-men
are among this group of future
members. Keys makes a close obser­vation
of all prospective pledges and
a man is not given a bid unless it is
evident that he will be congenial and
work to promote a feeling of friend­liness
among students on the campus.
With the induction of the new
members, the chapter roll will include
about forty men and much work is
expected to be accomplished this year
with such a large group. Plans are
being formulated for the annual ban­quet
and dance which will be given
as a part of the Mid-Term Dance
festivities and a successful program
will be arranged.

AUBURN DEFENSE WEAK
Mauney and Clary Lead Hard-Driv­ing
Line Attack of Gamecocks;
Game is Upset
Auburn's hopes for an undisputed
Southern Conference championship
were crushed Saturday by a surpris­ingly
powerful South Carolina elev­en,
which came from behind in the
closing minutes of play to tie the
score, 20 to 20.
The Plainsmen started out with a
rush. Auburn received the opening
kick-off and with Phipps, Dupree, and
Hitchcock carrying the ball, crossed
the goal line within the first five min­utes
of the game. Phipps passed to
Dupree who fell over the last white
line for the first score. Ariail kicked
the extra point.
Auburn pushed over another mark­er
in the second period as a result
of Hitchcock's 16 yard punt return
and a l l yard pass, Phipps to Dupree
which placed the ball on the Game­cock's
11 yard line. Dupree gained
two yards around end. Phipps picked
up five through the line. Carolina's
left tackle was offsides and the ball
moved up to the one yard line, from
which point Dupree went off his own
left tackle for a touchdown. Ariail's
try for the extra point was wide.
Carolina opened its running attack
in the third period to gain its first
score. Mauney received McCollum's
kick-off and returned it 35 yards to
Carolina's 40. Clary hit the line for
one yard and then Mauney slipped
through for a 20 yard gain to Au­burn's
39. Clary picked up five and
Mauney sneaked through for 10 more
to the Tiger's 20. Mauney got 12 in
two tries and Clary added five. Maun­ey
took the ball to Auburn's one yard
line where Clary scored standing up.
Wolf was sent in to kick goal but it
was wild.
Auburn came back and scored in
four plays after the kick-off. Wil­liams
had returned 30 yards. Caro­lina
was penalized 15 yards to place
the ball in midfield. Phipps, on the
first play, dashed 38 yards to Caro­lina's
12. Dupree slashed fackle for
six. Phipps scored in two tries. Ariail
kicked the point to make the score
20 to 6.
Just before the third quarter end­ed,
Hitchcock punted out of bounds
on Auburn's 45. Clary began slash­ing
again and with the aid of Wolf,
gained a first down down on the Tig­er's
35. Clary got five more. Ham-bright's
pass was good for 16 yards
and took the ball to Auburn's 14. The
quarter ended here but less than a
minute after the opening of the
fourth period, fourth down and eight
to go, Clary completed a perfect lat­eral
pass to Mauney for a touchdown.
Mauney kicked the extra point. Score:
Auburn 20; South Carolina 13.
Phipps fumbled soon after the kick-off
and Clary fell on the ball on his
own 43. Brown came into the pic­ture
at this point and took up the
turkey trot, or whatever it is that
Gamecocks are supposed to do. He
got seven and followed with five to
put the ball on Auburn's 45. Clary
hit the line for seven more and then
Mauney slipped through for 16, car­rying
the ball to Auburn's 20. Clary
and Brown made a first down and
the former scored from this point.
The crowd sat breathless as Mauney
place kicked the ball squarely be­tween
the uprights to tie the score.
Auburn tried desperately to score
with a long ranged pass attack but
one of these was intercepted by Shinn
just as the game ended.
The Gamecock's played inspired
football against the Tigers. The
heavy Gamecock line stopped Au-

SENIORS WILL GET
ONE MORE HOLIDAY
Executive Council Rejects Sen­ior
Petition Asking For
Week's Extra Holidays
MEETING HELD TUESDAY
Excused Games and Influenza
Epidemic Make Lengthened
Vacation Impracticable
Petition from the senior class for
their holidays to begin on Saturday,
December 10, instead of Saturday,
December 17;.was rejected by the
Executive Council at a regular meet­ing
Tuesday afternoon. Immediate­ly
following this action the Council
voted that the holidays for the seniors
shall begin at noon Friday, December
16, instead of noon December 17 as
scheduled in the catalogue, thereby
giving the seniors one extra day.
Iii" considering the petition the
Council was unable, according to
Chairman Jno. J. Wilmore, to see
any good reason why an additional
week is needed by the senior class.
The subject was discussed by differ­ent
deans who called attention to the
fact the council has been very leni­ent
this fall in excusing classes for
football games. Each game was ex­cused
with the exception of the Tu-lane
game in New Orleans.
An epidemic of influenza made it
necessary to adjourn classes one and
one-half days earlier than scheduled
for the Thanksgiving holidays.
The Council called attention to the
fact that a student who is absent from
a class either three days before or
three days after a holiday receives a
double penalty; and that no profes­sor
or instructor has authority to ex­cuse
students from classes in ad­vance
of the beginning of a holiday
season or immediately thereafter.
Dean Wilmore requested that rules
governing these matters be kept in
mind by both faculty and students.
Considerable comment has been in
evidence among the student body con­cerning
the whole affair. As the
Council did not meet until yesterday
afternoon, it is impossible to present
a consensus of opinion on the matter
here.

Polo Team Will Play Maxwell Field Flyers Saturday
Afternoon at 2 P.M.; Wet Field Causes Postponement
The fast Maxwell Fliers come to
Auburn Saturday afternoon to engage
the Auburn Polo Team in what prom­ises
to be one of the best matches
of the year. The game will start at
2 o'clock and will be played on the
renovated Auburn field. The grounds
have been reworked by the enlisted
Army men and will be in excellent
condition.
The game was to be played this af­ternoon,
but owing to the wet field
it has been postponed until Saturday.
The Maxwell Field team is com­posed
of fliers and other men sta­tioned
at the Field. This squad is
one of the best in Army circles in
the South and will offer the Auburn
riders stiff competition. Both the
Tigers and the Fliers have wins over
Fort Benning to their credit.
Lieutenant Gunby, coach of the
local squad, has developed a bril­liant
team considering the short time
that polo has been played- here. He
has two teams that are air tight on
the defense and accurate on the of­fense.
Leroy Fincher, Lewis Jones,
Oel Johnson, Jim Suydam, W. O.
Johnson, Justin Morrill, Jim Wood,
Ira Franklin, and Elwood Rouse are
the men who have developed fast
under the careful training of Lieu­tenant
Gunby.
After an impressive win over the
(Continued on page 4)
George Wesley (Ripper) Williams
of Tuscumbia, and William Henry
(Boots) Chambless of Montgomery,
have been elected .captain and alter­nate
captain of Auburn's 1933 grid
forces by the lettermen of the 1932
team, one of the three elevens in the
Southern Conference to finish the
season undefeated. Both Williams,
quarterback, and Chambless, guard,
will be seniors next year.
Having the captaincy of next year's
team bestowed upon him is a reward
to Williams for his fine work during
the past campaign in guiding the
Plainsmen to the best record they
have made on the gridiron since 1914.
A great blocker and a smart field
general, Williams was undoubtedly
the best quarterback in the Southern
Conference the past season. He was
placed on all representative second
all-Southern elevens and would have
been an almost unanimous choice for
first team quarterback if the four
outstanding backs in Dixie had been
chosen according to their positions.
The few times that he caught passes
and carried the ball during the past
season, he performed in extraordi­nary
style.
One of the greatest guards in the
South, Chambless deserves the alter­nate
captaincy of the 1933 team. He
is a fast and aggressive charger, a
terrific blocker, and a fine tackier.
His down field blocking was superb
in the ten games Auburn played the
past season. He was named on a
large number of second all-Southern
selections.
The race for the captaincy of Au­burn's
1933 team was one of the
closest ever held at the lovliest vil­lage.
Williams won by one vote over
Chambless and the Montgomery ace
was elected alternate captain by the
same margin over Gump Ariail, all-
Southern end from Birmingham.
PLANS UNDER WAY FOR
WELDERS' CONVENTION
Plans for the second Southwide
Welding Conference at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute next May are
being made by Dan T. Jones, profes­sor
of industrial engineering and
shops, who says that the meeting will
again bring together many of the out­standing
leaders in the welding field.
A large number of technical papers
and actual demonstrations setting
forth latest developments in welding
will be presented by experts from
all parts of the country. In* addition,
various manufacturers of welding
equipment will exhibit their products
at the conference.
Professor Jones pointed out that
the purpose of the meeting is educa­tional—
to bring to all those connect­ed
with any sort of welding first-hand
information from leaders who are in
the forefront of welding develop­ments.
Though a definite date has not been
set for the conference, it will prob­ably
take place during the latter
part of May 1933, following the close
of the regular college session. As
was the case last year, an extensive
program of entertainment will be ar­ranged
for the visitors. '
NOTICE!
There will be a meeting of all stu­dents
who are residents of Mobile in
room 109 Ramsay, Sunday evening,
to reorganize the Mobile Club.

". . . . A WHOOP AND A CALL"
The wisecracker we have with us always.
And particularly must we put up with the
picture show wisecracker. He is there for
every picture. And five minutes cannot
elapse without some subtle observation
from our wit. This adds charm and elan
to the program.
But wisecracking is not the only dis­agreeable
practice maintained by the stu­dent
body in the local theatre. Boistrous
laughter, in a variety of tones, echoes and
re-echoes through the amusement hall. We
were singularly impressed by the conduct
of one of our more cultured co-eds at a
recent vaudeville presentation. She did
everything but stand on her head each
time the black-faced comedian told a ris­que
joke, thus giving expression to an in­nate
refinement of no mean order. And
we shall never forget a rather buxom lady
in the early forties who cackled forth in
ear-splitting fashion during the presenta­tion
of a recent picture.
Now we do not go to the theatre to lis­ten
to boorish howls and other outpourings
of savage minds; nor does nine-tenths of
the audience get any pleasure therefrom.
Picture shows satisfy our in-born love for
the sentimental in a most excellent fash­ion
and diverts our mind from cynical
paths in an extremely effective manner.
And it must be admitted that no one goes
to listen to inane wisecracks.
And it might be well to comment upon
the manner in which Auburn .students ex­press
their sex instincts when a half-naked
female makes her appearance on the screen.
Really, there is nothing original or un­usual
in nude women. They look just like
they did a thousand years ago. And they
are never completely naked in the picture
shows. We would imagine that certain
magazines would serve this purpose to
perfection. We are rather downcast when
we realize that the sophisticated Auburn
man gasps at vulgar displays of female
flesh.
We realize that this editorial will be
totally unproductive as far as its desired
effect is concerned. The world, and Au­burn
in particular, is too full of these
wisecrackers. They must have their say.
We suggest a weekly meeting of the en­tire
student body in^Langdon Hall where
everybody can wisecrack, make catcalls,
give horse laughs, and tell dirty jokes. The
meeting should last long,enough for all of
these cultured traits to be amply expres­sed.
Such an arrangement would certain­ly
meet the" approval of the majority of
movie-goers.
END OF THE SEASON
Gratitude and appreciation for work
well done is not a human attribute. No
matter how well a job is performed, unless
it is done perfectly and totally without flaw
it is considered as little more than a fail­ure.
A grumbling campus greeted the return
of the football team from Birmingham.
Two automobiles met that team in Opelika
Saturday night. Contrast this with the re­ception
the 1931 team was given when it
returned from Madison, Wisconsin last
year. And compare the football records
of 1931 and 1932.
No one should question the success of
•this year's football team. Athletically
speaking, Auburn is now in the front rank
in the South and in the country. The
coaches here have accomplished a remark­able
feat in the last three years. Although
it is unlikely that Auburn will receive the
Conference championship, the team and
coaches deserve the highest commendation
for their work this year. To win nine
games and tie one is no mean feat. Au­burn
supporters will long remember the
skillful work of Coach Wynne et als.
Regardless of how anyone else looks on
the finish of the football season the Plains­man
wishes here to congratulate the team
and coaches and to extend them our best
wishes for an equally successful season
next year.
AUBURN'S PUBLICITY AGENT
Auburn's Elmer G. Salter was recently
paid a high compliment by Stuart X. Steph­enson,
sportscribe of the Montgomery
Advertiser. In praising Mr. Salter's work
Mr: Stephenson says:
"Returning to the sports desk, I find
it completely swamped with news
about the Auburn-South Carolina
game. Offhand I estimate that Elmer
Salter, Auburn's jam-up publicity
chief, has furnished in the neighbor­hood
of 20,000 words in 'the past 10
days or two weeks. Only a small
amount of the excellent reading mat­ter
has been published, but this has
been due to a lack of space.
"Salter has written many articles
which will not appear and I publicly
express my sincere regrets that all
of his material has not reached the
news columns. The boys he has writ­ten
about deserve every line of praise
he has given them, but knowing in
their own hearts they have done well
' may partially atone for my inability
to do justice to the slickest football
article coming off the Plains in mod­ern
football history."
Letters to the Editor
Editor, The Plainsvutn,
Dear Sir:
Millions of words have been expended
about the present deplorable situation that
exists in the state of Alabama. Thousand
upon thousands of dollars worth of news­paper
space has been devoted to either an
attempted explanation of the conditions,
or a condemnation of the state government.
Yet, not a single sensible move has been
made toward a remedy. Everyone has of­fered
suggestions, but no one has been
found that had courage enough to fight.
The so-called "Economy League," engi­neered
and financed by certain big inter­ests
within the state has miserably failed
the interests of the common people who
were hoodwinked into its fold. The state
is governed by politicians whose password
is "Gimme" and whose acts are designed,
not to help the state to emerge from the
slough of debt, but to do as little as pos­sible,
with as big show as possible so as
to keep the voters undecided as to what
should be done.
Schools are closing. Debts are going
unpaid. Daily the expenditures | of the
state exceed the income—and that in the
face of the recent increase in taxes.
Everyone is inquiring "Where is the money
going?" The people of the state know the
answer, yet they are afraid to say so. They
can stop it. Why don't they? Citizens
of Alabama, you have blustered long
enough. Now it is time to do something.
Why don't I do something myself? All
right, I am. I'm moving out of this debt-ridden,
politician infested state.
Yours sincerely,
N. O. Body.

among members of the architectural class­es
to allow girls in bathing suits and boys
in trunks to pose for portraits. However,
there has unfortunately always been a
Puritannical element of the local citizenry,
who abhor such display of the human fig­ure.
Artists for centuries have used nude
und semi-nude figures for models and yet
due to the fact that a few evil-minded re­formers
can't see beyond the Middle Ages
in such matters the future artists and arch­itects
of Alabama have to circulate a pe­tition
to gain the privilege of having girls
in bathing suits and boys in trunks pose
for paintings. Furthermore, it is doubt­ful
if there is more than a handful of
students anyway who haven't been swim­ming
is such so-called indecent dress, so
what's the difference anyway. We think
nothing at all of mixed swimming parties
and yet the local Puritans insist that it is
corrupting to the morals of the college stu­dent
to paint in an artistic creation the
human figure, draped in a modern swim­ming
suit. Most colleges with as good
architectural department as we have hire
professional models but we have an edict
against that also.
It is to be hoped that the petition—and
it seems that such is necessary to get any­thing
done around this campus—will be
granted despite the fact the petitioners are
so obviously in the right as to render such
an instrument unnecessary. Maybe some

T HE PLAINSMAN'S rsrther easy-go­ing
editor didn't know what he was
getting into when he asked me to bat
for the indisposed Casual Observer today.
No doubt many of you remember the wick­ed
Haakon of two years ago, who was not
long in getting put "on the spot" by the
co-eds. Some of the fair ones still remem­ber
his teasing and glare at him with a
sinister eye. And memories of that year
of columnizing still make him chuckle.
* * * *
But three years haven't wrought a great
change in him. Although he no longer
agrees with anything L. O. Dawson writes
in the Birmingham News, he still looks the
same. It might be remarked that he now
shaves occasionally and gets a haircut
once a month. He is not going to poke fun
at the co-eds any more, on account of his
feeble health and resigned state of mind.
But he still likes to glorify his colossal ego.
* * * *
Things learned during three years in Au­burn:
that one learns next to nothing in
three years . . . that campus politics is a
lot of fun . . . that reading is the most
effective form of education . . . that money
is hard to get . . . that women can be use­ful
. . . that some of them have brains
. . . that the editor doesn't give a damn
(if he did he'd of quit long ago) . . . that
one shouldn't say "damn" in the Plainsman
. . . that Auburn has a herd-instinct stu­dent
body . . . that the Auburn Spirit as
manifested in mass meetings is a savage in­stinct
. . . that Auburn can have one of
the best football teams in the country . . .
that fraternities aren't what they are crack­ed
up to be . . . that the less you take seri­ously
the more fun you have . . . that hu­man
beings are extremely funny . . . that
putting drunks to bed is no fun . . . that
Alabama's citizens are extremely stupid
. . . that life is just a bowl of cherries
. . . that love is grand (if you leave it
alone) . . . that boys in love are positively
absurd in their actions . . . that honor so­cieties
aren't worth what they cost . . .
that nobody reads this editorial page . . .
that Victor White was the best editor this
paper ever had . . . that Gum shouldn't
criticize anybody . . . that he'd be better
off with nothing more than his ingenuous
observations . . . that good orchestras
aren't worth their cost . . . that politics
and education don't mix . . . that student
activities are best left alone . . . that it's
hard to earn a living . . . and so on and
on . . .

The rottenest pun of the year: Any hitch­hiker
tax would be nothing more than a
thumb tax.
* * * *
Haakon admits that he is a most eccen­tric
individual, but he cannot appreciate
some of the Editor's editorials. He appears
to be altogether "out of wind." When there
are no editorial subjects left but the Brit­ish
war debts and Prohibition, our Editor
is in desperate straits. And Haakon be­lieves
that our rising young journalist
rarely knows what he is talking about.
* * * *
There are a thousand things on the cam­pus
that need correction, but a rather fog­gy
editorial staff overlooks them with com­placency.
* * * *
You that went goo-goo over Clara Bow's
recent comeback in "Call Me Savage"
should read Time's review of the picture.
* * * *
The present down-in-the-mouth attitude
taken by everybody in general is a new
thing to us youngsters. Nobody is in a
good humor. Money is scarce. The coun­try
is torn by factions. The State is in a
hopeless financial condition. As a cure
Haakon recommends that Congress repeal
the eighteenth amendment and everybody
else take a drink.
* * * *
Mr. Garner's lame-duck Congress refused
to throw away its crutches and go swim­ming.
* * * *
It is doubtful that Haakon will ever
grace this page again. He doesn't blame
the Editor for turning down any of his
rather sorry efforts. His almost universal
unpopularity two years ago made a perfect
cynic out of him: he hates everything; he
hates to write; ain't nothing no good. Thus,
my friends, does one pass into a rather com­fortable
oblivion.
of these days these protectors of a very
much corrupted (in their eyes) youth will
pass away and it will be possible to have
professional models for our art students to
paint but for the present it seems as if
bathing-suit clad females and the shocking
attire of trunks for men posers will have
to suffice.
Yours truly,
Percival.

IT IS an old saying that "there is plenty
of room at the top;" and there is. Six
Auburn students have demonstrated this
by making at mid-semester more than 90
on each subject. Names of these students,
with their home addresses and their grades,
follow:
Erastus Howard Butler, Jr., Jackson,
Mississippi, third year student in science
and literature, grade average 96.42; Drew-ry
Hampton Morris, Geneva, Alabama,
third year student in business administra­tion,
grade average 95.74; William Wool-verton
Beck, Charleston, S. C, third year
student in chemical engineering, grade av­erage
94.82; Henry Calvin Arant, Mc-
Kenzie, Alabama, first year student in agri­culture,
grade average 94.31; Jesse Donald
Simmons, Andalusia, Alabama, fifth year
student in architecture, grade average 93.-
23; Donald Ralph Pierce, Sylacauga, Ala­bama,
third year student in architecture,
grade average 90.68.
These have achieved distinction for them­selves
and builded higher this institution.
We are indebted to you, young men, you set
a splendid example.
Nineteen other students made 90 or more
in all except one subject.

George Wesley (Ripper) Williams of
Tuscumbia and William Henry (Boots)
Chambless of Montgomery have been elect­ed
captain and alternate captain of the
1933 Auburn Tigers.
"These were wise selections and the team
should be congratulated" is the gist of com­ment
heard here and there. With so many
splendid young men on the team it must
have been difficult for the team to elect.
Congratulations to Captain Williams and
Alternate-Captain Chambless; and congrat­ulations
also to the team and all others who
are interested in Auburn football. We pre­dict
another great season.

Professor W. W. Hill and three students
were touring recently through the Appa­lachian
Mountains of Tennessee and North
Carolina. Far away from any town or
city they stopped at an old water mill lo­cated
near the Tennessee and North Caro­lina
line, at the head of a creek.
The owner of the mill noticed the Ala­bama
tag on their automobile. He imme­diately
made inquiry about Auburn and
commented on the Auburn football record
which reveals the extent to which a good
football team advertises an educational in­stitution.

The curtain has fallen on the 1932 grid­iron
season. It has been a long season for
Auburn.
But, within my memory, it has been the
greatest. It has been remarkable—phenom­enal.
Praise—oodles of it—is due each
member of the coaching staff and each stu­dent
on the team. Intelligent and untiring
coaching plus courageous and brilliant
playing placed Auburn at the pinnacle of
football achievement and success.
The season began in September with a
long and difficult schedule. From the open­ing
game until the closing game the Auburn
Tigers marched to gridiron glory over a
succession of giants. A combination of
giants—illness and South Carolina—held
the valiant tigers to a stalemate in the last
game.
The coaches and the team have written
their names and the word "Auburn" high
on the lasting monument of football fame.
They have played brilliantly as true gentle­men
should play the game. Not a single
act discredited the good name of the Ala-bairfa
Polytechnic Institute.
Thanks, eternal thanks and lots of it to
you, Coach Wynne, your staff, and the
team!

As we proceed with the current semester
at Auburn we are reminded often about the
importance of students arranging in ad­vance
to pay registration fees when regis­tering
for the second semester. During reg­istration
for the current semester many stu­dents
asked for a few days to get the regis­tration
money. By looking ahead now and
preparing accordingly students can be
ready to meet this obligation the next se­mester.

Here is significent news, Birmingham is
now within less than twenty-four hours
air travel of the Pacific Coast. A regular
airplane schedule provides for leaving
Birmingham at 10:11 a. m. and arriving at
Los Angeles at 7:30 a. m., the next morn­ing.
After breakfast at 'Los Angeles an­other
plane takes off and lands in San
Francisco at 10:15 a. m. Enroute west a
stop of three or four hours is made at
Dallas, Texas.
The return schedule provides for leav­ing
Los Angeles at 2:30 p. m., and arriv­ing
in Birmingham at 4:25 the following
afternoon.
By aviation the United States is now
much nearer Central and South America.
Mail planes fly daily on established sched­ules
and carry passengers. These are do­ing
much for the improvement of business
among the nations of the Western Hemis­phere.
European nations are disturbed
about it.
These planes are now running on a sched­ule
of 110 miles per hour but new model
planes have been produced for stepping
this schedule up to about 150 miles per
hour. These new planes will be in use
early in 1933.

Campus activities of the local chapter of
Omicron Delta Kappa fraternity have
aroused interest in this organization. Con­sequently
its purposes and objectives are
stated:
"First, to recognize men who have at­tained
a nigh standard of efficiency in col­legiate
activities, and to inspire others to
strive for conspicuous attainments along
similar lines.
"Second, to bring together the most rep­resentative
men in all phases of collegiate
life and thus to create an organization
which will help to mould the sentiment of
the institution on questions of local and in­tercollegiate
"interest.
"Third, to bring together members of the
faculty and student body of the institution
on a/basis «f mutual interest and under­standing."

tobacco. I do hate to give girls cigarettes
at nineteen cents a pack. And, you know,
you girls don't look so languid and lavish­ing

APPLEBEE LAUDS VAN SHECK'S
PORTRAIT OF JIM HITCHCOCK
Professor in Architectural Department Gives Detailed Expert
Criticism of Picture of Popular Athlete Now on Display
at Burton's Bookstore
In an interview with a Plainsman
representative Professor Applebee
made the following statement about
Professor Van Sheck's portrait of
Jimmie Hitchcock:
"The exhibition of this painting
enables us to become familiar with
the work of Professor S. W. J. Van
Sheck. This painter, who has produc­ed
works attracting National atten­tion,
joined the faculty of the De­partment
of Applied Art at the be­ginning
of this school year. The
painting also gives us a chance to
know Jimmie Hitchcock in a more
intimate mood—away from the field
of action where he has won a place
in the heart of everyone who loves
Auburn.
"On viewing the painting one can­not
help being impressed by the
strength of character and the alert­ness
of the athlete, even in a moment
of relaxation, portrayed so forcibly
by the clearness of color and the
broad stroke of the brush. To see

it is not to turn away inadvertantly
but rather to be drawn to a more
serious contemplation of this work
of art. What more permanent monu­ment
to the fame of this ail-Ameri­can,
all-Southern Auburn player could
we have than this portrait so master­ly
executed by Professor Van Sheck?
"Analyzing the painting from a
strictly artistic point of view, Profes­sor
Van Sheck has proved himself a
true artist. Armed with a keen sense
of observation, and a psychological
scrutiny, this discriminating drafts­man
brings forward only what he can
use most effectively in the presenta­tion
of his subject. He does not copy
but rather interprets his model por­traying,
with admirable simplicity,
the emperament, action and spirit of
the pose. Unlike photographic de­pictions
commonly seen, this is a
demonstration of bold brushwork,
honest healthy color, strength of
drawing and uncompromising model­ing.
"The setting of the figure is a
masterly composition of order and
perfect balance in the placing of in­teresting
items. It is a splendid ex­ample
of the theory of 'Dynamic
Symmetry,' a valuable study which
Professor Van Sheck has introduced
to the art department of this college.
"Having disregarded all that was
conventionally expected, he has left
only a purity of design and an emo­tional
interpretation that has result­ed
in a truly monumental portrait of
one of the greatest of all gridiron
players—Jimmie Hitchcock."

Staff Honored
The coaching staff of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute was entertained
by the Auburn Kiwanis Club at their
luncheon, Monday. Program for the
day was arranged by Emmett Size-more,
chairman of the program com­mittee,

it.
Each member of the staff was pres­ent,
they being Coach Chet Wynne,
Coach Roger Kiley, Coach Sam Mc­Allister,
Coach Earl McFaden, Coach
Wilbur Hutsell, and Coach Ralph
Jordan.
Another guest of the club was Ed
Camp who is better known as "Ole
Timer" to the readers of the Atlanta
Journal. Mr. Camp gave his impres­sions
of Auburn's football record for
1932. He praised the team and the
coaching staff. He admitted that it
was a great surprise to him but that
it was a delightful surprise.
Upon motion of Prof. W. D. Sal­mon,
the club gave the coaching staff
and team a rising vote of thanks and
appreciation for the remarkable rec­ord
which they have made.

Tiger Growls
Now that the football season is over
our thoughts naturally turn to antici­pation
of Auburn's 1933 schedule.
For several years Auburn students
have been deprived of a Conference
football game here_ on the campus.
Lack of space to accommodate a
crowd necessary to make expenses
has been given as the primary reason.
Auburn's athletic department was
deeply in debt when Coach Wynne
took over the position of athletic di­rector
three years ago. Lack of
business management and poor foot­ball
teams here at' the Plains account­ed
for the situation.
Auburn's 1932 season has been
crowned with success. The Tigers
played through a ten game schedule
without a defeat. They have been a
great drawing card this year. The
athletic department's financial status
should be in a position to schedule a
game here on the campus with a con­ference
opponent for the coming sea­son.
The students deserve at least
one game of this sort.
Auburn has not had a homecoming
game in several .years. An outstand­ing
game here next year as the feat­ure
attraction of a home-coming cele­bration
would attract great crowd to
the Village. It would be just an­other
step in the progress of Auburn.
AND YOU GET A BETTER TASTE
That's the reason Chesterfield not only blends
but cross-blends its tobaccos. »
Blending mixes the tobaccos together. Cross-
Blending welds them together... into one tobacco
of milder, more pleasing taste! And what's more,
a taste that's uniform, always the same.
It's like creating a new and better tobacco for
cigarettes. It makes Chesterfields milder, gives them
more fragrance . . . and makes them taste better.

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT NOTED
IN ALABAMA ECONOMIC REVIEW
Evidence of slow but continued im­provement
in business in Alabama is
recorded in the December issue of
the Alabama Economic Review pub­lished
by the Bureau of Economic Re­search
and the Department of Agri­cultural
Economics of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. Comparing
general business in the State during
October with September the author,
Dr. H. L. Macon, says that "sizable
gains were made in the output of pig
iron, coal and coke, the sales of elec­tric
power and automobiles, and in
the volume of bank debits."
He reported also a sharp gain in
building permits, declaring that "this
should more than counteract the drop
in construction contracts since the
latter is dominated by awards for
public works which are not closely
related to business conditions."
Fourteen measures of industrial
and commercial activity were re­corded,
twelve of which showed a
gain in October over September and
four of them stood above the level
of a year ago.
"The cotton textile and the elec­tric
power industries have expanded
sharply their rate of operations and
are exceeding the level of a year
ago," continued Dr. Macon in his in­troductory
comment.
Continuing he said, "Since the
first of November the heavy indus­tries
have reduced their rate of ac­tivity
awaiting the development for
the new year. Further seasonal de­clines
touching all of the industrial
activity of the state are to be ex­pected.
But this will be partially
offset by the improved Christmas
trade and the public construction
program of the State."
The fourteen measures used by
Dr. Macon were: Bank debits (36
banks), demand deposits (28 banks),
savings deposits (21 banks), build­ing
permits (16 cities), construction
contracts, pig iron, output, coal pro­duction,
coke production, electric
energy sales, cotton consumption
(bales), cotton spinning, advertising
linage, automobile sales, and life in­surance
sales.
Bank debits in Alabama for Octob­er
were 10.6 per cent above the Sep­tember
level. This percentage gain
is below that reported at the same
time last year but September this
year showed a much greater advance
than occurred in that month last
year. Debits in Alabama gained con­siderably
more in October than the
average for the country. This same
condition prevailed a year ago. The
summary below gives the information
based on direct reports combined
with the monthly statement of the
Federal Reserve Board, Dr. Macon
added.
Building permits awarded in 16
Alabama cities for October exceeded
those for the preceding month and
for October of 1931. The valuation
of permits for that month aggregated
$258,852, a gain of 72 per cent from
September and 10 per cent in excess
of October a year ago. There were
159 permits with a total value of
$114,895 issued in Birmingham in
October. This is the highest valua­tion
reported for that city since No­vember
of last year. The Mobile re­port
was larger in October than for
any time since May.
At the middle of November steel
mills in the Birmingham district
were operating at about 10 per cent
of capacity, the lowest level report­ed
since 1921. At that time only two
open hearth furnaces out of 25 in
the state were active. Since that
time the number has been raised to
five according to the Iron Age of No­vember
24. Since early in October
the orders for finished steel have
been declining. Highway tonnage is
now one of the principal terms.
Steel ingot production in the Unit­ed
States during October was at 19
per cent of capacity as against 17.34
per cent for September. The rate of
output has dropped about three per
cent since October. The automobile
industry supplies the only important
demands for steel at the present time.
The sale of electric energy by the
Alabama Power Company to custom­ers
within Alabama during October
was 93,077,787 kilowatt hours, which
is the largest monthly figure report­ed
since June, 1931. The sales for
October as reported by the Alabama
Power Company were 9.1 per cent
above those for September and 4.5
per cent greater than for October a
year ago. Last year the sales for
March, April, May, and June were
each larger than for October but this
fall a full seasonal increase has oc­curred
making the October peak the
high point of the year so far as it
was in 1930.
The cotton textile industry in Ala­bama
continued to operate at a high
level of activity during October. The
preliminary census report shows that
Alabama* had 1,661,804 active spin­dles
which operated a total of 534,-
513,089 spindle hours in October.
The hours of operation were 6.6 per
cent more than for September and
5.8 per cent greater than for Octob­er,
1931.
Wonder what it feels like to be the
first to enter a stadium that holds
85,000?

Local Women's Club to
Canvass City for Needy
The social service committee of the
Auburn's Woman's Club will make a
house to house canvas for clothing
for the needy of Auburn on Thurs­day,
December 8.
This clothing will be distributed
locally and every article collected
will provide comfort for some person
in actual need. Therefore, any con­tribution,
be it ever so small, will be
the means of helping someone who
really needs help.
It is hoped that the response
Thursday will be a generous one.
There is need for all kinds of cloth­ing
and for any kind—even a delapi-dated
garment can be mended or
parts of it made into a garment for
a child.

last half, and their offense clicked
beautifully. The Plainsmen seemed
bewildered by the powerful drives of
Mauney and Clary.
Captain Jimmie Hitchcock, Au­burn's
ail-American leader, was a
marked man from the beginning, but
twice saved a Carolina score by his
deadely tackling. Firpo Phipps was
Auburn's leading ground gainer with
96 yards. Dupree played a magnifi­cent
game, his 29 yard sprint early
in the game was one of the prettiest
of the afternoon. Ripper Williams
directed the Tiger attack in flawless
style.
Gump Ariail and Shot Senn were
demons on the defense. McCollum
played a nice game until he was re­moved
because of injuries.
After seeing the game in-Birming-ham
Saturday, one must wonder how
the Gamecocks lost four games this
season. The brand of football they
flashed against Auburn was paralyz­ing
to behold.

Camp on Glenn Avenue, the Depart­ment
of the American Home of the
Auburn Woman's club had for its
study topic, "Guidance in the Selec­tion

Mrs. Ho m e r Carlovitz, as leader,
presented the subject from the prac­tical
viewpoint of the housewife in­terested
in the picture as a part of a
pleasing whole, "rather than from the
technical viewpoint of the artist in­terested
primarily in design. She
stressed the fact that if pictures are
to be lived with harmoniously they
must not be out of keeping with their
settings, and in conclusion, gave sev­eral
fundamental rules that may well
be adhered to in the framing of pic­tures
and their hanging.
During the period of general dis­cussion

The Auburn Women's Athletic As­sociation
held its third meeting of the
year on Monday in the girl's gym­nasium.
At the meeting it was voted
that representatives be sent to Monte-vallo's
"play-day" held in the hear
future. This is an annual event at
Alabama College when all girls' in­stitutions
and co-educational colleges
in Alabama are represented. This
year it is hoped that more Auburn
co-eds will be able to attend.
The Women's Athletic Association
has made outstanding progress since
its organization last year. At its first
meeting several weeks ago a consti­tution
was adopted and it was decid­ed
that an A. P. I. monogram should
be given to those girls totalling W0
points by participating in all the ma­jor
sports. Under the expert coach­ing
of-Miss Fanny Stollenwerck quite
a number of girls, are expected to

South's First Grid Game
In view of the fact that we are
now celebrating the bicentennial of
the birth of George Washington, that
Carolina plays Auburn this week,
that Auburn has won ten consecutive
games for its best record and is now
hoping for a Southern conference
championship, that Auburn was one
participant in the first intercollegi­ate
football game in the South and
that two Carolina alumni were mem­bers
of the first Auburn team, the
following story might prove timely.
Auburn's opponent on the birthday
of the Father of Our Country, Feb­ruary
22, 1892, was the University of
Georgia and the game was played at
Grant park, now Grant field, Atlanta.
Auburn won, 10 to 0. Thus started
the great gridiron game below the
Mason and Dixon line.
that made him a formidable antago­nist.
Genial and kind-souled he was
among his friends, but when he faced
the enemy on the football field there
was something awe-inspiring, almost
terrifying in his countenance.
"At any rate, I have always believ­ed
that the Auburn center felt that
way about it and that this character­istic
of my old friend and teammate
contributed largely to the final
The coach of that Auburn team
was Dr. George Petrie, a graduate of
Johns Hopkins university, who was
then and still is head of the history
department at Alabama Polytechnic
institute. He had seen the game
played in the North and wished to
introduce it at Auburn.
Two members of the faculty, both
graduates of the University of South
Carolina, were star members of the
team. One was A. Foster McKissick,
who is now a cotton mill executive of
Greenville. At that time he weighed
around 225 pounds. Center was his
position. The other was Dr. Charles
H. Barnwell, who is now dean of the
college of arts and sciences at the
University of Alabama. He played
fullback.
'In those days when the game was
in its infancy," Doctor Barnwell said,
speaking of the beginning of football
in the South, "a team—at least a
Southern team—was not composed
exclusively of students, but might in­clude
faculty members as well.
"And so it happened that on Au­burn's
first team were two Univer­sity
of South Carolina alumni, Foster
McKissick and I.
"McKissick was professor of engi­neering
and I was adjunct professor
of modern languages.
"Football as then played was far
more of a running and kicking game
than it now is and as I had some
practice in these arts in the old-fashioned
game of football we used
to play on Gibbes' field, or Gibbes'
green, the greensward on the back
campus today of the University of
South Carolina that is still popular
as a playground for youngsters of
the city,. Coach Petrie decided to
try me at fullback.
In the 40 years that have elapsed
since that first Southern game, de­tails
of it have grown hazy, Doctor
Barnwell said. "Of the varying for­tunes
of the game," he continued,
"I can recall nothing. The only
things that stand out clearly in my
mind are a drizzling rain and a mud­dy
field; the fine new uniforms we
Auburnites wore, especially our white
skull caps, ornamented with tassels
that dangled above our ears, and
finally, the thrill that came to us
when the timekeeper's whistle told us
we had won."
"The game was played in a pour­ing
rain and on a muddy field," Mr.
McKissick recalled, "but the enthusi­asm
was high. The crowd in the
grandstand stood the rain without
complaint."
Speaking of Sports is indebted to
Barney A. Early, secretary of the
University of South Carolina Alumni
association, for the story of the
South's first intercollegiate football
game. Quotations are from letters
addressed to him.

"As for McKissick, there could nev­er
have been any doubt as to his po­sition
on the team. Nature had clear­ly
intended him for a center. Two
hundred and twenty-five pounds, I
should say, would be a conservative
estimate of his weight at that time.
