FRAUD EVIDENCED
IN SELECTION OF
NEW MISS AUBURN
Entire Election Is Thrown Out
By Committee In Charge Of
Counting Votes
Football Matinee Be
Presented Tomorrow
NEW ELECTION CALLED
Ballots Stuffed, Fictitious
Names Signed To Ballots,
Faulty Ballots Used
It was learned late last night that
the election of the girl to bear the
title of "Miss Auburn" was thrown
out by the committee in charge of
counting the votes. As an explanation
for the action, a representative
of the committee stated that the body
found the action advisable because of
the large number of illegal votes. It
was intimated that the ballot boxes
were "stuffed," fictitious names were
signed, and other unscrupulous methods
were practiced in the voting.
By a vote of the committee it was
decided to hold another election to
select a representative girl as "Miss
Auburn". Voting will begin this afternoon
and will continue until Monday
night. Ballot boxes will again
be placed in Benson's and the Tiger
Drug Store. Only those ballots which,
are published in the Plainsman with
the voters' correct name will be accepted.
Students are urged to cooperate
in the selection of the girl
during this election by obeying all
voting rules.
In the past students have had no
voice in the selection of the girl who
carries this title, and this contest was
decided upon to give the student body
a chance to express their opinion of
who should receive the honor.
Those students who are interested
in the election are reminded that it
is being held to determine the student
body's choice of the most representative
girl on the campus for the
title. Three qualifications which the
winner should possess have been named;
they are: intellectuality, personality,
and beauty. Voters are requested
to carefully consider these requirements
before voting and to make
their selection on an unbiased basis.
A picture of the girl will be featured
in the beauty section of the Glom-erata
with the title of "Miss Auburn"
as a caption. Also, it is planned to
submit the photo to the Associated
Collegiate Press for use in the rotogravure
section which the Plainsman
carries in the Saturday edition each
week. Newspapers throughout the
state will feature the picture and
election."
The contest has already drawn
much attention, it having been written
up in several state papers and
broadcast over the "Plainsman Program"
from radio station WSFA,
Montgomery, Alabama.
There being a difference of one
hour in the time of Auburn and Durham,
the scene of Auburn's clash with
the undefeated, untied Duke grid outfit
Saturday, the grid-graph account
of the Tiger-Blue Devil battle in
Langdon Hall here Saturday afternoon
will begin at 1:30, it was announced
today by Plainsman athletic
authorities. The grid-graph play-by-
play report of the game is unusually
thrilling, as plays are recorded
on the mechanical football field
as soon as they occur.
A rule of the Southern Conference
prohibits all broadcasts of the game,
so the outstanding tilt in Durham
will not be put on the air, not even
by telegraphic report.
Admission will be twenty-five cents.
Eight Students Given
Architecture Awards
In a contest held every five weeks
in the Department of Architecture
first medals were awarded to 8 students.
The designs are on display in
the Architectural library.
Floor plans for a bank and office
building drawn by R. K. Williams; a
floor plan of a hotel drawn by Grady
Hicks; a memorial park and museum
Resign drawn by Thomas E. Wilker-son;
two radio broadcasting stations
designs drawn by Alan Jacobs and
James F. Hurd; and three window
designs drawn by F. O. Murry, Edwin
Jolly, Louie Le Thebus, are included
in the display.
Miss Margaret Jane Bradford, J.
L. Murphy, Jr., and Miss Margaret
R. Cooper received awards for their
•first major problem of their first year.
The float that won first place from
29 entries entered in the NRA parade
held at Dothan, Alabama, Thursday
October 26 was designed by H. W.
Wheeler and William N. Chambers of
the School of Architecture and Allied
Arts.
The float represented agriculture
being placed upon the same level with
industry through the combined efforts
of "Uncle Sam" and the American
farmer.

STUDENT DAMAGE SUIT
NETS POWLETT $56,860
C. H. A. Powlett and his son,
Armand, have been awarded by the
Supreme Court of Alberta, Canada,
$56,860 in a damage suit against the
University of Alberta. In the suit
Mr. Powlett charged that his son became
insane as the result of an initiation
ceremony at the University last
year.
The case, it appears, started in the
lower courts and was carried into
the higher courts which granted the
award, making the University liable
and responsible in the case of this
initiation.
Y. M. C. A. COUNCIL

These council meetings which are
held during the fall and spring semesters
of the school year are for
the purpose of discussing, studying,
and furthering the Y. M. C. A. principals
that are used throughout the
state. At this time representatives
from all of the secondary schools in
the state get together and exchange
ideas, giving a brief resume of the
work accomplished since the last meeting.
In this way difficulties are
cleared up, and old methods are discarded
for new ones that have been
tried and found effective.
Delegate officers to the conference
will be: Horace Thompson, president
of the Council; Pelham Merrill, student
president of the Y. M. C. A.;
both of the University of Alabama;
O. C. Weaver, Birmingham-Southern;
Tom Forester, Howard; Prentice

Horace Thompson, president of the
council, who will preside at the business
meetings, is also from the University.
Thompson has not announced
the definite program of the conference,
but according to Julian
Greer, president of the local Y. M. C.
A. Cabinet, after the opening meetings
on the 17th the conference will
declare a recess for the Georgia-Auburn
game in Columbus. Greer also
stated that the local group had planned
the social entertainment for the
delegates.
Notables in the field of Y. M. C. A.
work who will attend this conference
will be J. Ward Nelson, Regional
High-Y Secretary from Atlanta;
Claude Nelson, Southern Regional Y.
M. C. A. Secretary, and Tom Grey,
Secretary of the Birmingham Y. M.
C. A. About twenty-five representatives
are expected to be present at
.this session.
The local Friendship Council of the
Y. M. C. A. was the first of the now
nation-wide chain of like groups. It
was founded on this campus in 1922
and since that time organizations of
this kind have been established on
almost every secondary school campus

Blue Devils Without
Services Of Regulars
Following is an Associated Press
story from Durham, North Carolina,
the camp of Duke's Blue Devils:
With four members of the squad
pn the "rest" list, the unbeaten Blue
bevils of Duke today started work
which will lead them up to one of
their hardest games of the season—
their battle with Auburn's fine eleven
in Dufle stadium Saturday afternoon.
"Horse" Hendrickson, whose superb
generalship was an important
factor in the Blue Devils' victory over
Kentucky was not out for the practice,
due to injuries he sustained
Saturday, which probably will keep
him on the sidelines during the Auburn
game. There is a remote chance
for him to be in the game, but it is
not likely that he will play.
Others on the "rest" list were Earle
Wentz, who is suffering from a bad
cold, which almost kept him out of
the game with Kentucky; Ed West,
second string end, who sustained an
arm injury at Kentucky, and Capt.

'The Brat' Be Given
By Theatrical Group
"The Brat", the delightful comedy-drama
which scored such a tremendous
success at its first presentation
in Opelika Monday night, will be seen
at Langdon Hall in Auburn tonight.
"The Brat" is the first play to be
presented by the recently organized
Auburn-Opelika Community Players.
The curtain will rise on the first
act promptly at 8 o'clock and the performance
is expected to be witnessed
by a large audience. It is reported
that tickets for the show are going
fast in Auburn and many Opelika
people are expected to attend the
show. Admission prices are 15c and
25c.
The cast received three curtain
calls at the Opelika presentation and
received many compliments on their
performance. Opelika people who
saw the show acclaimed it as the best
amateur show ever presented in that
city.
FOUR HONORED BY
ELECTRICAL GROUP
One Senior And Three Juniors
Are Selected By Eta Kappa
Nu Honor Society
Xi Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu, national
professional fraternity of electrical
engineers, today announces its
election of four men, one Senior, W.
H. Bowie, of Scottsboro, and three
Juniors, W. B. Collins, Montgomery,
B. W. Franklin, Birmingham, and J.
J. Danaher, Biloxi, Miss., to membership.
Eta Kappa Nu- was formed at the
University of Illinois in 1904, the purpose
being "to bring into union for
mutual benefit those men in the profession
of electrical engineering, who,
by their attainments in college or in
practice, have manifested a deep interest
and marked ability in their
work." Xi Chapter was established
at Auburn in 1920. There are now
23 active chapters of Eta Kappa
Nu in the better technical colleges
throughout the country, and active
Alumni Chapters in all of the larger
cities.
Each year Eta Kappa Nu holds
two elections, selecting members of
the Senior and Junior classes who
have the proper qualifications of
scholarship, character, and ability.
Eta Kappa Nu is active in campus
engineering activities each year, taking
part in the Engineer's Day program,
sponsoring Electrical Shows,
securing speakers for A. I. E. E. programs,
etc.
Membership in Xi Chapter now includes
P. G. Hughes, president, R. T.
Garlington, J. K. Fuller, B. W. Hudson,
and J. S. Harris.
The new men will be initiated at
an early date.
State Chemical Group
Will Meet Here Soon
The Alabama section of the American
Chemical Society will hold its
regular meeting with the local group

TIGERS TO ENGAGE
MIGHTY DUKE TEAM
IN FEATURE SCRAP
Auburn Squad In Poor Physical
Condition For Headliner;
Four Main Cogs Out
BLUE DEVILS STRONG
Much Time Spent On Air Attack
During Past Week; Offense
Will Be In Good Order
Beset with injuries but with chins
up and spirits high, Auburn's football
squad left the Plains last night
for Durham, N. C. where tomorrow
they will meet the mighty Duke Blue
Devils, one of the few undefeated and
untied teams in the country.
The injury jinx has taken a heavy
toll of Coach Wynne's charges including
four main cogs of the Plainsman
machine. Buddy McCollum,
Tiny Holmes, both veteran tackles,
and Benny Fenton, end, and will
Chrietzberg, center, have been nursing
bruises and injuries received in
the past few weeks. McCollum, Fenton,
and Chrietzberg might be able
to play, but have not been able to
take part in the rough work this week
and therefore will not be in their
best form. It is doubtful if Holmes
will be ready to go.
Considerable work has been given
the Tigers during the week on pass
defense, a point weak against Tulane.
Coach Wynne has also given much
time to polishing up his offense for
the Blue Devils.
This is probably Auburn's most
important game of the current season.
Following two losses, Tiger
stock dropped several points, but
should they hand the Blue Devils a
sound licking they would once more
bask in the southern football sun. To
date Duke has suffered no ties or
defeats. They have beaten such teams
as Tennessee and Florida impressively
and are now ranked as the South's
outstanding eleven. . Naturally, the
odds are against a Tiger triumph tomorrow,
but should their offense and
defense work as it did in the first
half of the Tulane game an Auburn
victory is likely.
Those making the trip include
Benny Fenton, Gump Ariail, Aubrey
Hill, Jack Kemp and Red West, ends;
Buddy McCollum, Tiny Holmes, Dan
Lawson, Bing Miller, Mutt Morris,
and Ralph Tolve, tackles; Irving Levi,
Boots Chambless, Mike Welch, Red
Watson, and Norman Houston,
guards; Will Chrietzberg, Fred Black,
and Barney Musgrove, centers; Gap-tain
Ripper Williams, Red Head, and
Cleve Brown, quarterbacks; Allen
Rogers, Casey Kimbrell, Bunky
O'Rourke, Bubber Phipps, and Ward
Wright, halfbacks, and Sterling Du-pree,
Marion Talley, and Harry Whit-ten,
fullbacksfl Also accompanying
the team is Coaches Chet Wynne, Porter
Grant, Wilbur Hutsell, Trainer
Charlie Striplin, and Manager Oliver
Jackson.
Memorial Service Be
Held For Bill Wood
Sargent Elected To
Frosh Cabinet Post
The election of the Freshman Executive
Cabinet Member was held yesterday
at the "Y" Center. The winner
of the election was Ralph Sargent
from the school of engineering.
Sargent is also the Freshman cheerleader.
Although much interest had been
shown in the election and a number
of candidates ran for the position,
which is one of high honor, the number
of voters was far below the expected
number and also for the number
which have voted for this office
previous years.
Sargent is the final member of the
cabinet to be selected and although he
will not take office until the end of
the semester, he will serve throughout
the remainder of the year.
According to an announcement by
Hamp Morris, a memorial service will
be held for "Bill" Wood Sunday night
at the Methodist Church beginning at
seven-thirty. The local Sigma Nu
chapter, of which Wood was a member,
will attend the service in a body
to pay him tribute. All other fraternities
on the campus are invited
to join in the memorial.
A program is planned and will consist
of several short speeches of tribute
to Wood and songs.
Wood, who died of pneumonia in
Birmingham last Friday, was a member
of the class of 1924. While a
student at Auburn he was head cheerleader,
a member of the Glee Club,
Band, and held membership in several
honorary societies.

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
ROUNDING INTO SHAPE
After many weeks of gruelling
road work the Auburn Cross "Country
squad is rounding into shape for its
meet with Georgia Tech's Yellow
Jackets Thursday, November 9th. A
meet had been planned with the University
of Georgia but as the University
has discontinued its team the
meet with Tech will be the only one
of the year.
This race, which is run through
the streets of Auburn, is three miles
long and begins and ends at the gymnasium.
In past years this race was
five miles long but it has been shortened
to its present length because of
the strain which it placed on the
runner.
A new marching song, the Auburn
Victory March, will be presented to
the student body at a mass meeting
to be held next week. This announcement
was made today by P. R. Bidez,
director of the Auburn Band, who
said that manuscripts are being printed
now and will be ready in a day or
two.
It is described by Mr. Bidez as a
good marching song, one that can be
sung easily, and should make an excellent
companion song to the Auburn
Alma Mater.
The march has already made its
appearance over the air, having been
played and sung during the Auburn
program that was featured over Station
WSM, Nashville, last week. The
band has played the selection several
times. Everyone who heard it over
the air and played by the band has
been enthusiastic concerning its possibilities.
The composer is A. Traxler, prominent
musician and musical instructor
of Birmingham, who" has played in a
number of the leading bands of the
country.
The Victory March is in the conventional
band march style, having
three main movements, the third
movement, or trio, being best suited
for ensemble singing. The words are
easy to learn, and the range of the
music is such that anyone can carry
the tune. It is hoped that the march
can be adopted as the official march
of the cadet corps and be played for
reviews of the R. O. T. C. unit.
Only the words to the trio are
printed at this time. Every student
is asked to learn them before the
mass meeting next Thursday or Friday.
Auburn Victory March
Come on, boys, let's travel;
For it is time that we're on our
way.
Time to hit the gravel;
We've got to win that game today.
Fight you Auburn Tigers
For the victory.
Let them say it!
As we play it!
We're the roving, fighting Auburn
Tigers.

FAIR ELECTON
It is a shame that the student body cannot
select the best looking girl in school
to bear the title of "Miss Auburn" in the
Glomerata without having half of the students
out "politicing" for their friends. The
action of the committee in throwing out
the recent election is most commendable,
since the vote was anything but a fair one.
The ballot boxes were stuffed, illegal
votes were cast, and fictitious names were
signed at will. Certainly the outcome of
such an election could not be representative.
It is apparent that the students fail to
realize the fact that the photograph of the
winner will be seen by people throughout
the entire nation, and that the best that
Auburn has to offer should be presented.
Fraternal and social relationships should
be disregarded with the idea of picking the
best looking girl.
Previously, "Miss Auburn" has been picked
by a committee of students, and there
has always been some protest as to the
selection. Officials of the yearbook were
desirous of having the students name their
own representative and thus the new system
of Selection. In view of the outcome
of the balloting, it is obvious that the student
body is not capable of selecting the
best looking girl with any idea of beauty
and the former system should be resorted
to. On the contrary, though, the officials
are giving the student body another chance
to select the campus beauty, and another
election will be held. Should the second
election be like the first, the only alternative
will be to have a committee again pick
the winner.
GERMANY'S STAND
Germany is now cleverly playing the
martyr's role. She has served notice that
she is withdrawing from the League of Nations
and her chair at the present disarmament
conference is vacant. She is trying
to create the opinion that she, of all nations,
has received the dirtiest deal since
the war, that she is to be pitied and catered
to.
This is Hitler's ill-timed and blundering
method of dealing with an emergency. He
is trying to force the former Allies to redraft
the Versailles treaty and allow Germany
armaments on an equality with other
nations. That such an end will be finally
achieved there is little doubt, but it will
not come from Hitler's present barnstorming
methods. So far Hitler has not demonstrated
that he would use force wisely,
and his withdrawal from the League
will only delay the day when Nazi hopes
will be fulfilled. Hitler might do well to
remember that in dealing with other nations
he cannot treat them as abruptly as
he deals with opposing minorities within
his own country.
In his attempt to gain pity for Germany,
Hitler may well remember that the Allies
have scaled down the German reparation
bill to a mere fraction of its original
amount. Today the German reparations
are equal to only one-twentieth of the
American war dabt. Germany nay also
keep in mind that the Hoover moratorium
was promulgated to save not only millions
of American dollars invested in Germany
but also to save Germany from bankruptcy.
These concessions, sought since 1919 by
German diplomats, have been obtained by
patient and kindly dealing at the council
tables. From such diplomacy Germany has
emerged much better off in bearing the
costs of the war than most of her victors.
She has been able to gain such concessions
only because she has been willing to remain
and talk with the other nations. If
the progress has been slow, she must remember
that it takes time to bring about
unanimity between scores of divergent national
views.
Germany is now no longer winning to
reason; she is going to force action. But
she is likely to find that in her present
mood other nations may consider that more
military power is likely to be misused.
Confidence and patience are needed today
in world affairs. It may require years
to undo the damage caused by Hitler's recent
gesture.—Minnesota Daily.
Letters to the Editor
The Student Body of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute,
Auburn, Ala.
Gentlemen:
We think that considerable undue publicity
has been given the case of a student
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute who
has been suspended on a charge of cheating.
We think that this publicity has been
most unjust to the student involved; and
that there is no adequate reason for the
case being made the talk of the campus,
at his expense.
Since our first knowledge of the case,
our policy has been one of protecting the
man involved, from undue' humiliation, by
refraining from an open discussion of the
matter.
However, the fact of his suspension has,
nevertheless, been made common knowledge
among the students; we have been
criticised most severely for our action in
the case; and, yet, the full particulars
have not been pointed out to the Student
Body.
We feel that the necessity for such an
explanation has been thrust upon us; and
that, you must know the whole matter.
The case was first brought to the attention
of the Student Executive Cabinet
by members of the Student Body.
At this time, the defendant had been
accused, tried by the Faculty Discipline
Committee, and a verdict of guilty and a
recommendation for suspension had resulted
from the trial.
The normal procedure is that the recommendation
of the Discipline Committee
be submitted to the Faculty Council for
approval or disapproval, and that the defendant
may, if he so desires, appeal his
case at this time.
At the request of members of the Student
Body, who felt that the delay in the
submission of the report of the Discipline
Committee to the Faculty Council was unwarranted;
and who felt that the case
should have been handled with the same
expediency as was shown in the trial of
similar cases last year; we, the Student
Executive Cabinet addressed a letter to
the Administrative Committee, requesting
that the Faculty Council act on the case
at once, in the regularly prescribed manner.
The Faculty Council met, heard the appeal
by the defendant, and voted to sustain
the recommendation of the Discipline
Committee; and the defendant was suspended.
At this time, certain members of the
Student Body started the circulation of a
petition throughout the Campus; at least
two copies of which read thus: "We, the
undersigned, resent the suspension of
" and "We, the undersigned,
are not in favor of the expulsion of
These petitions were circulated throughout
the Student Body, and approximately
nine hundred to one thousand students'
names appeared as undersigned.
On the strength of the number of names
on the petition, members of the Student
Executive Cabinet were severely criticised,
individually and collectively, by the petitioning
group for not falling in line with
this indicated sentiment of the Student
Body.
In the first place, our letter to the Administrative
Committee was tt request for
a prompt and just settlement of the case;
and not, as we have been accused, a request
for the suspension of the defendant.
The matter of the charge, the trial, the
appeal, and the verdict is in no way a
function or a duty of the Student Executive
Cabinet. We could not, even if we
should so desire, exert any influence in
these matters.
We, like the rest of the Student Body,
are not familiar with the particulars of
the case, except as outlined above. Hence,
we are certainly not in a position to criticise
the action of the Faculty Council.
The Student Executive Cabinet feels that
this petition is not a true indication of the
sentiment of the Student Body; for we
know that at least two of the signature
solicitors did not know, or at least did not
divulge to the solicited students, the reason

YESTERDAY I was reading a newspaper
from the old home town and
happened to notice a writeup of the
wedding of a boy and girl, with both of
whom I was well acquainted. Well, you
know the style the thing was written in and
how upappropriate that style was just because
the newspaper didn't have the guts
to print a real account of_ the wedding.
Here's the way it should have appeared:
PEABLOSSOM-THORNDYKE
An event of little interest to the community
was the marriage of two of the more
unpopular of the self-styled younger set.
Sadie Hefflefinger Peablossom, oldest and
frowsiest daughter of Mrs. Hattie Peablossom
and the late Col. Aubrey T. Peablossom,
formerly one of the leading bootleggers
of the county, and Herman Elspeth Thorn-dyke
II, of the Pip Creek Thorndkyes were
united in Holy matrimony at one-thirty
Tuesday afternoon. The wedding was
scheduled for high noon.
The bride was inadequately clothed in a
$7.50 Paris creation that was too tight
across the hips and baggy at the shoulders.
Her corsage was half a bouquet of American
Beauty roses.
The groom- entered slightly later than the
bride dressed in an ill-fitting rented dress
suit. The color of his nose indicated that
his shoes weren't the only tight things at
church.
The wedding ceremonies were performed
by the Rev. Edward Hinklebauer, a moss-bound
old hypocrite who never practices
what he preaches.
As the couple came down the aisle, the
organ burst into Lohengrin's Wedding
march, but in the excitement the organist
forgot the tune and ended up playing "Yes,
Jesus Loves Me".
The best man was the brother of the
bride, and the maid of honor was the
groom's jilted sweetheart who was dam
glad to be jilted.
The bride is a member of one of the oldest
families of deadbeats in this city. Prior
to her marriage she was a student at
Finishing school, but got shipped for drinking
on Sunday. Mrs. Thorndyke was a
participant in some of the wildest necking
parties ever known in these parts. She
has gone with nearly all the young good
for nothings in town but this is the first
one she has been able to land.
The groom, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E.
Thorndyke I, is one of the best drug store
cowboys in town. He was a member of the
fraternity while in school
a fraternity well known for its lack of sobriety.
This young whipper-snapper has
been in more scandalous scrapes, and cost
his poor hardworking father (who is about
to lose his job) more money than any other
headstrong young fool in town. Mr. Thorndyke
did not graduate from college, although
he attended six years. He is now is business
with his uncle selling vegetables from
door to door. Although his wife has been
in some wild parties in her time, they were
nothing compared to the benders young
Thorndyke has pulled in his day. For two
months last winter he didn't draw a sober
breath. Mr Thorndyke too has been with
nearly every not-very-particular girl in
town, but this is the first one he has had
to marry.
Both the bride and groom are known for
their poor taste and lack of honor. This
union is considered by the townspeople to
be the best match in thirty years. The
accumulated bilge of the entire state is now
in one family.
Immediately after the ceremony, the
bride's mother pitched a forced luncheon at
which the guests were served soggy sandwiches
and cold coffee and dam little of
each.
Amid forced revelry, Mr. and Mrs. Thorndyke
left for a honeymoon visit to Mrs.
Thorndyke's paternal uncle in Choctaw
county. As soon as they return, Mr. and
Mrs. Thorndyke will make their home with
the bride's mother until Mrs. Peablossom
kicks them out and Herman Elspeth II has
to stir about and go to work.
The bride and groom are expecting a
blessed event next month.
for the suspension of the defendant.
We have yet to be convinced that, knowing
the facts, the sentiment of the Student
Body is as indicated by the petition.
We believe that the case has been justly
and impartially tried by men who are very
much more mature and more familiar with
the circumstances than we; and, therefore,
we, the Student Executive Cabinet, formally
declare to the Student Body that we are
in accord with the decision of the Faculty
Council.
Very truly "yours,
Student Executive Cabinet of
Alabama Polytechnic Institute.

The following comes from one of the columns of the Florida Alligator, "Win,
lose, or draw we are going to have the biggest homecoming crowd in history, and
we have candy to back our belief that it will be the first Homecoming crowd to see
a Florida victory on Florida Field when the Auburn Plainsmen 'do their best'. But
in the philosophy of Wallace Wade: 'We did our best' is a poor excuse for losing."
According to that bunch of certified city slickers, there is no use in the Tigers
even going to Gainsville because every one already knows how the game is coming
out, and we are indeed happy to see that they are so confident of a win. However,
we would venture to say that whatever the outcome,'those gators will know that
they have been handling dynamite for the full sixty minutes of the game.
Arid another thing, De Vane, it is an exceptionally poor policy to make predictions
and cracks like that before the game is played. After "all, the entire Gator

WRONG ADDRESS
Either President Bradford Knapp is becoming
more prominent in political circles
than the Vice-President of the United
States, or else some one has an abbreviated
idea of the size of the state of Texas. For
recently Dr. Knapp received a letter dated
October 20 from Erie Pennsylvania, with
the following address:
To the Vice-President of the U. S. A.
In care of Dr. Bradford Knapp,
Texas Technological College,
Lubbock, Texas.
The sender of the letter probably got his
mistaken idea from a picture sent out by
the NEA of Dr. Knapp presenting a hand-woven
suit made on the Tech campus, to
the Vice-President.—Toreador.

The annual M. I. parade meant screams
of delight for most of the Judson students
when it stopped at the Judson entrance for
a serenade and pep meeting Thursday, Oct.
12. '
The band in loud and ludicrous pajamas
led the parade in the front of Judson with
all the cadets snake-dancing behind garbed
in anything from night shirts to football
uniforms. The Judson girls "got that
swing" to the rythm of "Marion Had a
Tiger" as the whole group swayed and
marked time.
After offering a mock prayer for the
success of the M. E. football team, the
parade "rambled" on to town.—The Triangle.

Athletic officials of the University of

COCKTAIL COLLEGE BEGINS
ITS STUDIES
The American Bartenders Institute, at
352 Fourth Avenue, New York City, yesterday
began its first fall semester. The
institute will be run on the "co-ed" plan,
will maintain a 100-foot bar for laboratory
work ond will embrace in its curriculum
every thing from the elementary Manhattan
cocktail to the advanced horses neck. There
probably will be a separate semester on
beer.
The fancier wines and liquers are to be
taken up in a special post-graduate course
of ten lectures at reduced tuition. Glassware,
kegs, taps, shakers, make-believe customers
and other thinks of a text book
nature will be supplied by the institute itself
at no extra cost.
Dean A. H. Paine, a former advertising
man, strolled from classroom to classroom
yesterday, rubbing his hands together and
remarking with no little satisfaction that
definite "school spirit" had already begun
to manifest itself. As yet the undergrads
migh not exactly be willing to "die for the
old institute," but the gusto with which they
approached chromium shakers and glass
steins was a prophetic omen.
Behind the long, academic bar, with its
rows of small desks in front, Professor Roland
D. Gervin, one-time master of fizzol-ogy
at the Hoffman House, was conducting
a class in cocktail shaking.
"No, no, my dear young ladies," sighed
the professor, in the gently reproving accents
of a ballet master. "Your positively
must not shake a cocktail up and down.
You must shake it horizontally, ending each
stroke at a point just above the right shoulder.
Like this."
While Professor Gervin was demonstrating
the geometry of cocktail shaking, 'another
faculty member, Professor Charles
Massey, was bustling about trying to get
the department of diplomatic languages organized.
The professor, who is a graduate
of Rector's and the Ritz-Carlton and onetime
holder of an exchange professorship
at the Blackstone Hotel, Chicago, also will
instruct pupils in the refined arts of "agreeing
with 'em" and of "easing 'em out"
when they reach that point. It will be his
duty to assist Professor Gervin in teaching
the art of not being "too familiar" with
customers; the art of "not recognizing customers
too well", on the chance that they
might drop in some day with "the boss",
and on general points of etiquette behind
the bar. Professor Gervin will also touch
lightly on the psychological aspects of drink-mixing.
"How to Tell When a Customer
Has Had Enough."
Pending repeal, colored water is to be
used in place of drinks, but the bottles are
authenic; it took eight months to collect
them. There will be special evening classes
for employed students, who are ambitious
and want to catch the tide of repeal at its
flood. No extension courses are planned,
for the present.
The regular course will include thirty
lectures (with lab work) of one-hour duration,
extending over a four-week semester.
Those who want to cram, however, can get
through in as little as two weeks. The institute
takes care not to guarantee jobs to
graduates. It will never adopt the Barber
College idea and try out its mixtures on
drinkers, gratis.
The dean ond faculty are sanguine of the
institute's prospects, and hope to build up
a good substantial body of alumni and alumnae.
The latter, they hope, can be placed
in "tea room bars", but they don't guarantee
it. No diplomas will be awarded, but commencement
exercises will be held at monthly
intervals.—New York Times.

P ICKED UP. in Wednesday morning's
mail—
* * * *
I think we should have a deluge of them
there things and get the agony over with.
No originality is claimed in the following
efforts—that is, the majority of them. And
I'd like to thank Ogden Nash for the rhyme
for "worta".
i
Little Willie, for a geg,
Fell downstairs and broke his leg.
Mamma said "You're such a sight!
Go back up and come down right."
Little Willie, Foolish child,
Saw an auto running wild.
When he tried to see what drove 'er,
Mamma said "That's Will all over." •
Little Willie, feeling sorta
Blue, jumped in some boiling worta.
Mamma cried, "I'm all upset.
Willie got his clothes all wet."
Train ran over papa's flivver,
Drove his ribs right through his liver.
"Ain't that mean," our Willie cried.
Papa always spoils our ride."
Hungry tiger at the zoo,
Devoured Willie's sister Sue.
Willie said, "He showed some speed;
Now let's go watch the monkeys feed."
Willie ate a can of paint
Since then little Willie ain't.
Mother sighed, "It's doggone funny;
Children can't learn paint costs money."
Little Willie, feeling blue,
Jumped into some boiling glue (Water
won't rhyme with glue.)
Mamma said "I'm faint and sicky.
He might get his clean clothes sticky."
Willie, when he wasn't seen,
Ate a pound of Paris Green.
Ma asked Pa, with awful frown,
"NOW! How'll we keep the roach bugs
down?"
Papa, tired of Willie's Hell,
Dipped him in some HC1.
Mamma laughed, "Pa, I'm so tickled.
Don't our Will look funny pickled?"
But our Willie met his fate,
When he saw that Mae West gait.
Just a wee glance at her stride
Willie groaned, turned up, and died.
... tkkl
Frankly, Derf, I'm not so hot
At this rhyming and what not.
I might tell you of the time
Willie sprinkled powdered lime
(That's just CaO to you.)
On his mother's Brunswick stew.
Or when he drowned his Grandpa Sprat
In the city dipping vat.
[ Or when he got his Mamma's shears
And cut off sister Mabel's ears.
Or, when his Mamma had the club,
Willie poisoned all the grub.
Mamma says, "Now I can see
He will be the death of me.
I'll admit he shoots some blanks
In his simple childish pranks
Willie, dear, put down that gun! %
You'll kill my soul, you son-of-a-gun."
You see, now, Derf, this could go on
And on and on and on and on.
But you take charge of winsome Willie
You can write more poems silly (Silly,
eh what?)
Some folks like 'em well enerf
But, you see, Derf, I'm not so terf.
Willie's HCN to me
Please make your column Willie-free.
Of course I don't mean it but
You thought this line would rhyme, didn't
you?
Yours till we can guzzle in Benson's
Alfred Nonymous, Esq.
Thanks a million Alfred. You saved me
a whole nights work with your timely little
note. And since you ask for the removal
of little Willie (whose actions are accounts
of childhood experiences of a noted campus
figure of the same name) you shall have
it—but he's going out in high style just as
he came in— /
Oh heave a sigh for Willie
Poor Willie is no more
For what he thought was H20
Was H:SO,.
Justin Morrill, not satisfied to crowd all
the news off the Plainsman pages, went
into big time this week. One of the Birmingham
papers had half a column devoted
to the achievements of your brother and
mine, Molo Morrill. Among other things
in the writeup was the list of honor societies
of which the Col. is a member. That
took half of the entire article. The bill
for the writeup according to Morrill
amounted to something over ten dollars.

The great performance of the Auburn football team down in New

Tigers, although out of the championship race, will be mighty hard to
beat in future games.
The Plainsmen went out to win against the heavily favored
Greenies from the start. Auburn played smart, alert, progressive football,

Three outstanding' games within
the Southeastern Conference feature
this week's gridiron card in the South.
Alabama's Crimson Tide meets
Kentucky in Birmingham in what observers
predict will be a close game.
Kentucky put up a wonderful battle
against Duke's Blue Devils last Saturday,
and if they are able to repeat
their fine showing tomorrow, the
Crimson Tide will be hard pressed.
Georgia risks its conference hopes
in a battle with Florida in Jacksonville.
The Bulldogs, fresh from a
great 25 to 0 triumph over N. Y. U.,
will be hard to stop, although the
Alligators threw a scare into Tennessee's
ranks last week with a great
fight against odds.
Georgia Tech plays Vanderbilt in
the third outstanding game of the
week among conference teams. Vanderbilt,
tied by L. S. U., should come
through, although the going will be
tough.
Tulane carries the South's banner
into intersectional battle against Colgate's
mighty eleven in New York.
The Greenies may be expected to
give the northern team a good afternoon's
work, but a victory for the
Wave is improbable.
Auburn plays, Duke in Durham in
another hard fought game. The"Devils
rank as leading favorites to continue
their triumphal string of wins.
L. S. U. meets South Carolina in
Baton Rouge, Mississippi State plays
Mississippi College in Starksville, Se-wanee
takes on Tennessee Tech at
Sewanee, and Ole Miss encounters
Birmingham-Southern at Oxford in
other games involving Southeastern
Conference teams.
Plainsmen defeated the Green Wave,
19-7, last year.
Casey Kimbrell's stefling punting
against Tulane was the best kicking
the Tigers have enjoyed this season.
Kimbrell averaged a fraction below
44 yards booting the calfskin and
also stood out as a ball carrier.
Only three sophomores were used
by Coach Chet Wynne in the Tulane
game. They were Mutt Morriss, 175-
pound tackle from Blountsville; Fred
Black, 166-pound center from Macon,
Ga., and Harry Whitten, 185-pound
fullback from LaGrange, Ga.
Morris relieved the injured Mc-
Collum at left tackle in the second
quarter and turned in a top-notch
performance the rest of the game.
Substituting in the final period for
Will Chrietzberg and Truck Talley,
Black and Whitten looked promising.
Morris and Black are in line for starting
assignments against the undefeated,
untied Duke Blue Devils at
Duke Stadium in Durham Saturday,
as both McCollum and Chrietzberg
sustained injuries in the Tulane game
that might keep them both on the
bench this week-end.
Coach Mike Donahue, the man who
led Auburn's Tigers to many a great
triumph on the gridiron as coach,
watched the Tiger-Greenie battle
from the stands. Questioned after the
game, he remarked that Auburn
played a great game.
Another authority to express his
praise of the Tigers showing was
Referee Campbell. "Auburn played
a remarkable, alert game against Tulane
and deserved their great vic-
1 tory", was his comment.
this season, worked coherently. They
charged as a unit, displaying the fire
and abandon of last year's forewall.
Every man did his part well. Will
Chrietzberg, Bennie Fenton, Jack
Kemp, Buddy McCollum, Mutt Morris,
Bing Miller, Boots Chambless, Gump
Ariail, Mike Welch, Commodore
Wood, Ripper Williams, Allen Rogers,
Marion Talley, and Firpo Phipps were
all heroes in the great battle.
The Tigers got a great game out
of their system in New Orleans,
the kind of performance that Auburn
men knew that they could
come through with.
* * *
Auburn goes up against Duke's
mighty Blue Devils tomorrow, unbeaten
and untied this season. Dukels
aggregation is rated one of the outstanding
in the country. It will be
a different one which the Tigers
from the Plains whipped last year 18
to 7. Wallace Wade has had another
year to further install his famous
system at the Durham university.
Talks of Rose Bowls and such have
been eminating from the Duke campus.
And such stories usually have
good basis for truth.
Duke has the greatest team in
her history. Auburn's Tigers are
doped to lose by several touchdowns.
It will be hard to expect
a Tiger victory over such overwhelming
odds. But the Plainsmen
have found themselves. And having
done that, Duke will be in for _
an interesting afternoon. Auburn
is in rather poor physical condition.
But where there is a will, there is
nearly always a way. A win over
Duke tomorrow would be one of
the greatest achievements in Auburn's
football history.
* * *
If my picking Auburn as the underdog
against Tulane last Saturday
gave the Tigers any psychological advantage,
the home team will be picked
by this column to lose all the rest
of the season. So Tigers, here again
is your chance. Make the most of it.
Auburn 7, Duke 19.
Alabama 20, Kentucky 0.
Vanderbilt 14, Tech 0.
L. S. U. 19, South Carolina 0.
Florida 7, Georgia 20.
Miss. State 26, Miss. College 7.
Ole Miss 18, B'ham. Sou. 6.
Sewanee 6, Tenn Tech 0.
Tulane 6, Colgate 19.
* * *
It looked mighty good to see former
Coach Roger Kiley sitting on
the Auburn bench again at the Tulane
game. Kiley, a successful lawyer
and alderman of Chicago, came
down to the Crescent City just for
the game. His presence, no doubt,
helped to spur the fighting Plainsmen
on to victory.
* * *.
Auburn's cheering section of a
few hundred in New Orleans made
more noise than the whole Tulane
and Newcomb stands combined.
Cheerleaders Ed Prewitt and Billy
Morrison handled their jobs well,
and the students cooperated to the
fullest.
During the half, Tulane's band
took the field and was followed by a
large group of former Tulane athletes
who were epecially honored as
a part of the mammoth homecoming
celebration.

The most improved player on Auburn's
1933 football team over last
year is Truck Talley, a senior fullback
from Decatur, Ga., one of the
greatest defensive players in the
South.
Only an average player his first
two years on the Tigers varsity eleven,
Talley has made such,rapid stride
forward this season that he is now
stamped as one of Coach Chet
Wynne's outstanding backs, both on
the offense and defense.
This season Talley has been a
spectacular performer in blocking for
his mates, tackling enemy ball carriers
and in delivering the "mail". His
185 pounds have been effectively
used in mowing down would-be tack-lers
and he has also been a consistent
line-smasher. Coupled with his fero-

Auburn faces one of the nation's
outstanding football teams tomorrow
when the Tigers square off against
Duke in Durham, N. C.
The Blue Devils, in their third
year under Wallace Wade, former
University of Alabama coach, has the
greatest gridiron team in the history
of the school. Duke is a leading contender
for national honors, having
been undefeated and untied this season.
They have won from such teams
as Tennessee and Kentucky.
Leading the Blue Devils offense
this season is Corkey Cornelius, a
175-pound halfback, who kicks, runs,
and passes with almost uncanny ability.
Other star ball carriers in Duke's
backfield include Nick Laney, the
gentleman who dealt the Plainsmen
so much misery in Birmingham, and
Cox. Cox has the distinction of leading
the Southern conference in scorers.
These three backs are considered
among the outstanding stars in the
South.
Freddie Crawford, all-Southern
tackle of last season, has improved
his remarkable play of last year, and
is an outstanding candidate for All-
American honors. Wade is quoted as
saying that Crawford is a greater
player than Sington, whom the former
Tider mentor coached to Ail-
American fame while at Alabama.
While Duke is an odds on favorite,

cious tackling, Talley's blocking and
ball-carrying ability have put him in
line for all-Southern honors.
He is one of Auburn's high scorers
and his 51-yard run over his left
tackle for a touchdown against Howard
was one of the prettiest runs
made by a Plainsman in several years.
He developed into a sprinting halfback
when he passed the line of
scrimmage and used a stiff-arm that
removed two players from his path.
A superb block could not have done
any better than Talley's stiff-arm on
his record jaunt.
His spirit this season is one of
his main assets. He would just as
soon make a great block as make a
touchdown, and he works- hard at
every practice to improve his all-around
ability. He plays with abandon
on both the offense and defense
and has fine coordination of mind
and muscle.
A weakness in defending against
passes has been corrected by Talley
because he realized his fault and
drilled overtime to intercept and
knock down aerial heaves. Besides
now being a stellar defender against
an overhead attack, the gifted Talley
is also an expert pass receiver.

According to Greer, the Council is
made up of the Y. M. C. A. executive
officers, chairmen of the various committees,
and the faculty advisor, who
convene weekly in surroundings conducive
to fellowship^ and good cheer.
When the Council met for the first
time this year, a discussion of local
campus problems was led by Prof. A.
L. Thomas, and plans for the coming
convention were made. The plans for
the year have been worked out but
will be changed after the State Council
meeting to include any new plan
or method that might be adopted.
Last year the Y. M. C. A., with the
cooperation of the student body, introduced
the Student Center, which
is one of the most popular places on
other campuses throughout the country.
To date the Center, aside from
being ideal for_organization socials,
affords a variety of periodicals and
games for the students, maintaining
also, a complete set of files of campus
activities that are open to the public.
This year with the aid of the Student
Executive Cabinet the Student
Center is being renovated and equipped
to better meet the needs of the
students. Chief among the improvements
will be suites of furniture, rugs,
bridge sets, and a radio. The "Y-Courts"
on West Magnolia Street will
be put in condition and kept up by
the Y. M. C. A. for the use of the
students.
These improvements have been
made possible by the Executive Council
adopting this measure as the chief
objective of this administration. The
money for this work was given by
the classes from their class dues.
Officers of the Auburn Cabinet for
the year are: Julian A. Greer, President;
Howard Morris, Vice-President;
Whitfield Rew, Secretary; and Reese
White, Treasurer.
W. B. West Writes On
Valley Development
A distinct contribution to an understanding
of the gigantic Tennessee
Valley Authority project by engineers
of Great Britain has been made by
an Auburn man, W. B. West of Valley
Stream, N. Y., whose exhaustive
and comprehensive study on this subject
was recently published in Engineering,
weekly trade journal published
in London, England.
The article sets forth an authoritative
discussion of the Congressional
Act creating the Authority, showing
that it represents a radical departure
from the traditional American theory
of remaining aloof from government
ownership. The experiment also represents
the biggest undertaking of
its kind from an engineering standpoint.
Mr. West is a native of Alabama
and knows the region to be affected
by the development. Another article
on t h e Authority by Mr. West will be
published this month in the Scientific
American.

W. WRIGHT WILL
OCCUPY NEW STORE
After occupying the same store and
serving the city of Auburn for twelve
years as a dry goods merchant, J.
W. Wright, Jr., will more into new
quarters soon.
His new store, which was once the
Auburn Post Office, will have nearly
twice the floor space of the old and
will allow him to carry a more complete
stock. For several weeks men
have worked to beautify the building.
New floors and wood work have been
put in and the entire building painted
and refinished.
At present Mr. Wright is awaiting
the arrival of furnishers, who
will arrange and furnish his store in
a modern fashion. Besides having
departments for both ladies and gentlemen,
he plans to have a juvenile
department. This feature has been
rather neglected in the planning of
stores in the past, and Mr. Wright
is to be congratulated on his foresight
in incorporating it in the plan
of his new store.
As soon as everything is made
ready, a formal opening will be held.
An announcement of the opening,
along with a list of the various attractions
and bargains to be offered
on that day will appear in a later
edition of the Plainsman.

of the second regiment of the Field
Artillery. He is from the second
battalion of this regiment.
Five seniors, seven juniors, and
eight sophomores of this unit attained
high scholastic standings. Perfect
military aptitude records were
attained by five seniors, seven juniors,
and six sophomores of this battalion.
Three cadets were recognized
for proficiency in athletics.
Students of the Field Artillery not
assigned to battalions won honors for
the same attainments. Twelve members
of this group were recognized
for scholastic achievements. Perfect
military aptitude records were held
by thirteen seniors, two juniors, and
four sophomores in this unit. Four
of these cadets won honors for their
proficiency in athletics. Most of
this group are assigned to regimental
and other staff positions.
(Continued from page 3)
the Tigers of Auburn are not being
taken lightly. Remembering the deceptive
offense of the Plainsmen of
1932, Coach Wade has been drilling
his charges in defensive tactics. Especially
are they fearing the dashing
Casey Kimbrell who crossed the Blue
Devil goal three times last year.
Although Hendrickson, quarterback
will not be able to face the Tigers
because of a broken hand, the
other Devils are pronounced ready
for the Auburn invasion.
