entrances decorations.
Happy Davis, assistant manager of
the Tiger Theatre, opened the pro­gram
with a short speech about the
contest and an introduction of Dr.
Duncan, who in turn presented "Miss
Auburn" to the audience.
This was the first contest of its
kind to be held in Auburn and it is
the plan of the committee in charge
of the election to give it a permanent
place in the program of such activities
in the future. The race was marked
by heavy balloting and close compe­tition.
A photo of Miss Pace will
appear in the retogravure section of
the Associated Collegiate Press Di­gest,
which is carried in the Plains­man
and many other college news­papers
throughout the nation, and in
several state newspapers.
Students Unimpressed
By Presence Of Five
Florida "Big Shots
It may have been that the weather
wasn't what their sunny Florida dis­positions
were used to; it may have
been the shock of finding out that we
Auburn farmers do wear shoes after
all; whatever the cause, their nerves
were on edge. What manner of peo­ple
were these Auburn men, anyway?
They hadn't seemed the least bit im­pressed
upon finding out that Flori­da's
five biggest shots were in their
midst, even though they were so in­formed
by said big shots immediately
upon the latters' arrival. Was this
any way to receive the guiding ge­niuses
of a sister institution? Well,
the business on hand should be only a
matter of moments, and when it was
accomplished Messrs. Clark, Peters,
Bennett, McCarthy, and Walrath
could leave these barbarians to their
own devices and proceed to that place
where the third member of the party
was indispensible. Then on to an

RATS END SEASON
WITH FOURTH WIN
Tiger Cubs Keep Record Clean
With 21 To 13 Victory Over
Georgia Tech Freshmen
The Auburn Freshmen kept their
season's record clean with a win over
the Georgia Tech Freshmen last Fri­day,
21 to 13. Tech didn't make a
first down with its running attack.
The Jackets started the scoring on
the second play of the game when
Preston, Tech center, Rocked Kil-gore's
kick and fell on it back of the
goal line for a touchdown. Fitzsim-m6ns
kicked the extra point.
Auburn's first touchdown also came
as a result of a blocked kick on Tech's
25 yard line. McElroy and Scot't al­ternated
in taking the ball to Tech's
1 yard line, and Kilgore went over
from there. Kilgore kicked tne ex­tra
point.
Auburn's fast charging line was the
contributing factor in all of the Au­burn
touchdowns, with two blocked
kicks, and one nearly blocked, result­ing
in a 17 yard punt by Tech.
The second Auburn touchdown came
when a Tech kick was partially block­ed
on the Tech 1 yard line. Scott
went over on the first play, and Kil­gore
kicked the extra point. Score
Auburn 14, Tech 7.,
Tech's second touchdown came as
a surprise. McKay fumbled a pass
from center and was apparently
thrown for a fifteen yard loss, but
eluding the Auburn tacklers he threw
a 35 yard pass to Moore, who caught
the ball on the Auburn 5 yard line and
stepped over for the counter. Fitz-simmons'
kick for the extra point
was blocked.
The half ended with the score Au­burn
14, Tech 13.
Auburn's, third touchdown came in
the third quarter. Tech was backed
up on its own goal line, and the Tech
kicker was almost out of the end zone
when he kicked. The Auburn line
rushed him so that his quick kick
traveled ony to the Tech 17 yard line.
From there Mitchell and McElroy put
it over in five plays. Allen kicked

Business Fraternity
Initiates Eight Men
Delta Sigma Pi, honorary profes­sional
fraternity, held the fall initia­tion
on November 16 in the chapter
room in the "L" building. At this
time eight pledges were taken into
the lodge.
Following the formal initiation a
banquet was given at the Dowell Din­ing
Room in honor of the new mem­bers.
The room was apporpriately
decorated with the fraternity colors
and a special program under the di­rection
of Chas. Workman, toastmas­ter,
was enjoyed by the group.
Those initiated were: Oliver Wiley,
C. A. Singleterry, A. H. Jackson, John
Orr, D. K. Mason, Cecil Padgett, J.
E. Vance, and M. H. Conner.
On Tuesday, November 21, the local
chapter observed the anniversary of
the founding of the national order.
Degree Team Of Auburn Chapter Of Lambda
Chi Alpha Leaves To Install New Chapter
The degree team from the Auburn
chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha will
conduct the ceremonies at the install­ation
of a new chapter of the frater­nity
at the University of Florida in
Gainesville on Friday evening.
The local Sigma Lambda Tau is the
successful petitioner of the organiza­tion.
This local fraternity at Florida
was formed on December 1, 1924 with
the idea of petitioning Lambda Chi
Alpha and it has been working toward
that goal since its founding. Zareb
M. Pirenian, former professor of
mathematics at Auburn, was one of
the charter members of the chapter.
The Florida chapter will be known
as Epsilon Mu Zeta of Lambda Chi
Alpha and will be the eighty-fifth
chapter of the fraternity and the
twenty-third national fraternity to
come to the Florida campus.
Personnel of the degree team of
Omega Zeta, the local Lambda Chi
chapter, includes George Sewell, Wil­liam
Gaines, William Massa, Linton
Smith, Edward Hodges, Jack Orrison,
George Louden, and Neil Davis. Clair
L. Peppered, traveling secretary of
the fraternity, will supervise the work
of the team and of the general in­stallation.
Degree teams from the
Auburn chapter have conducted the
installation ceremonies of the Emory
and Tennessee chapters and have ex­emplified
the ritual at the 1931 con­vention
of the fraternity in Ashevile,

Honor Societies Dance
Is Postponed; May Be
Held On Valentine Day
The Executive Committee in charge
of the Honor Societies Ball stated af­ter
a special meeting last night that
the ball would be postponed until
some time in th Spring, possibly on
St. Valentine's Day. The affair had
previously been scheduled for Decem­ber
ninth.
In discussion the change in date,
the chairman of the committee refused
to divulge the reason for the change.
He merely stated that a number of
affairs' were already scheduled for
the Fall and Winter seasons and that
a later date was deemed more advis­able.
The Honor Societies Ball was in­augurated
on the campus last year
under the sponsorship of Blue Key,
national honorary and service organ­ization.
Most of the honor fraterni­ties
are scheduled to take an active
part in the presentation of the affair
this year, said Randolph White, pres­ident
of the Blue Key chapter here.

Spiked Shoe Has
Annual Initiation
Four Athletes And One Team
Manager Are Inducted To
Membership By Society
The Auburn Chapter of Spiked
Shoe, national collegiate society, ini­tiated
four athletes ane one team
manager at initiation ceremonies last
Monday. Lafayette Eidson, Center-ville,
Arkansas; Elmer Kelley, Ever­green,
Alabama; Bill Emery, Decatur,
Georgia; Bob Jones, Bessemer, Ala­bama
were the track men initiated.
Clarlr Rudder, Stevenson, Alabama,
manager of this year's track team, is
the other initiate.
Eidson won his letter in the 440
on the track team last spring. Elmer
Kelley was awarded the major "A"
as a result of his work in the hurdles
and high jump events. Bill Emery
and Bob Jones won the award of
minor "A"'as members of the cross
country team.
The national society of Spiked Shoe
is the only national honorary society
which honors athletes for prowess in
sports. The general purpose of Spik­ed
Shoe is to increase, foster and for­ward
track as an ameteur sport in
every possible way.
An interfraternity Track Meet is
held annually by the society on "A"
Day, which comes in the spring.
Aside from sponsoring this event
Spiked Shoe members officiate in the
freshman cake race each year.
The present officers of the society
are: Loyd Richey, president; Carl
Pihl, vice-president; and Robert Rut­land,
secretary and treasurer.
Freshmen File Blanks
For Class Nominations
According to George Hardy, chair­man
of the Elections Committee, the
following men have qualified for the
race in the election of freshman class'
officers: President, Rupert Scott,
Mark Carr, G. H. "Pat" Plumlee, and
Joe Sawer; Vice-president, Charles
W. Anderson, Jr., Woodrow Bailey,
and W. B. Kelley; Secretary, Bob
White; Treasurer, Vernie M. Hollo-way;
Historian, Douglas Goode, and
Miss Frances Shi.
Nomination blanks with the signa­tures
of twenty-five or more persons
were submitted" to Hardy for the
above members of the class and were
found legal. All blanks were turned
in by midnight of November 21.
The elections will take place on
the first Tuesday after the Thanks­giving
holidays, December 5. Fresh­men
are urged to adhere to the rules
governing campus elections as the
violation of them 'may cause their
candidate the loss of the race. Such
things as stuffing the ballot box, mem­bers
of the class who are working in
the interest of one of the candidates
carrying on their activities near the
ballot boxes, etc., are against the reg­ulations.
Much interest is being
shown in the elections this year and
competition is expected to be keen.
Administrative Committee An­nounces
Excused Classes
Following Conference
FLORIDA MEN HERE
Sunshine State Delegation In­v
i t e s Band To Be Present
For Homecoming Program
Following a conference with five
students from the University of Flor­ida
who journeyed here from Gaines-ville,^-
the Administrative Committee
has announced that classes will be ex­cused
after Friday noon for all stu­dents
who wish to attend the Flroida
game on Saturday. No one will be
excused, however, unless they pur­chase
a ticket from the athletic of­fice
here. Names will be taken there
and turned in to the registrar's office.
The Florida men who visited Au­burn
in the interest of Florida's home­coming
program were Charles E. Ben-net,
president of the student body,
Larry Walrath, chairman of the home­coming
committee, Jack Peters, Chan­cellor
of the Honor Court and Presi­dent
of Blue Key, Ed Clark, treasurer
of Blue Key, and Dan McCarthy, vice-president
of the student body. The
sponsoring of the affair is entirely in
the hands of Blue Key, and all of the
visitors are members of that society.
The good will committee also ex­tended
an invitation to the band to
attend the game, and made arrange­ments
whereby Capt. Ripper Williams
and Coach Chet Wynne would speak
on a special radio broadcast on the
night before the game, at which time
the Florida captain and coach will
also speak.
Early Monday morning, the Flori­da
delegation journeyed to Warm
Springs, Ga., to personally convey to
the President an invitation to be hon­or
guest at the homecoming celebra­tion.
They returned to Auburn Mon­day
night to complete negotiations
with college authorities for the ex­cusing
the classes of those students
who would attend the game.
"Florida is planning one of the big­gest
homecoming celebrations in its
history," said Walrath in an interview
with a Plainsman reporter, "and we

The publication represents a construc­tive
effort by biologists to provide a
means for keeping abreast of rapidly
growing and increasingly diversified
literature in the field of biology. The
abstracts are published on a coopera*
tive basis and leading men in the field
are appointed to carry forth the work.
The Union of American Biological
Societies sponsors the movement and

in its scope before the public by select­ing
outstanding men to publish rec­ords
of their work.
Fiendish Uproar Marks
Hellish Battle Staged
By Tiger Laddie Bucks
The constant uproar that had pre­ceded
the zero hour hushed for an
instant as though in anticipation, and
in that breathless instant the whistle
sounded shrill and clear. Over the
top swarmed the lads in the blue
uniform and forward they surged,
determined to carry by assault the
fortress that had been breached but
still resisted. Missies large and small
spun through the air and here and
there a man dropped and lay still.
The fiendish uproar had broken out
in renewed fury and as though in
answer, a similar burst of hellish
sound errupted from the other side,
while down the opposing slope poured
another mass of men with determina­tion
written on their face.
Clashing at their very goal the two
forces rocked in combat, neither seem­ing
to gain the advantage. Reeling
figures staggered ffom the melee and
sought an open space to lay their

LARGE GROUP OUT
FOR RIFLE SQUAD
Eighty-eight Report As Team
Begins Extensive Drills For
Season's Grind
The Auburn Rifle Team began
practice last week for an extensive
firing season. •
Lieutenant Frank O. Bowman stat­ed
that the team this year should be
very successful since twelve letter-men
will be back on the squad.
Eighty-eight new members are out
for practice, among whom are a num­ber
of outstanding marksmen who
had a fine record in high school and
prep school as expert riflemen.
Practice will continue until Thanks­giving.
From this time until Christ­mas,
elimination matches will be held.
The squad will then be cut to thirty
members. After Christmas sixty
telegraphic matches, which will in­clude
competition with most of the
leading colleges in the United States,
will be held.
The Rifle Team here is composed
of students who are registered in the
basic- R. O. T. C. courses. Every
year since the team came into exist­ence
the team has ranked with the
best in the country. Last year the
squad fired fifty-nine matches, win­ning
thirty-seven, losing twenty-one
and one game resulting in a tie.
Matches were won from such leading
teams as the Universities of Tennes-see,
Nebraska, Illinois, Washington,
Porto Rico, Iowa, Syracuse, Wiscon­sin,
Cornell, Norwich, Fordham, In­diana
and numerous others.

Forty Students Are Reported Deficient In
English Under Rules Adopted Last Session
Forty students have been reported
as deficient in English under the new
ruling adapted last session. Fifteen
of these students are freshmen, ten
sophomores, nine juniors, and six se­niors.
Forty per cent of the upper-classmen
reported have not completed
freshman English.
Mr. Rutland reports that on the
whole the attitude of the students
has been excellent and they have ex­pressed
their desire to-cooperate with
their English coaches in improving
speech and writing.
As soon as the student's name is
reported, he is requested by postal
card to come to the English office for
a conference. After a brief confer­ence
with some member of the English
department, his is given a test, con­sisting
of two distinct parts. He is
requested to write a paper on a very
simple subject and then asked to
proof-read a few paragraphs, in which
there are a number of errors in gram­mar
and punctuation. When this
has-been taken, it is easy to note
the shortcomings which need atten­tion.
After this, the student is asked to
come to the English office once a
week, or oftener if he wishes, for ad­ditional
tests and exercises planned
to correct the deficiencies.
The success with which the plan
adopted last year, has already met is
far beyond expectation.
By B. C. Pope
Out of the mire of the down trod­den,
Auburn arose Saturday to gold­en
heights of football to smash Geor­gia's
undefeated and untied Bulldogs,
14 to 6, in one of the most spectacu­lar
gridiron battles the South has
ever seen.
Although having been defeated
three times this season, the Plains­men,
Saturday, presented a devastat­ing,
surging, irresistible attack that
swept the conquerors of Yale and
N. Y. U. before them, and left no
doubt in the minds of the 15,000
spectators as to the superiority of
the Tiger machine. It was one of
Auburn's greatest victories, a tri­umph
which can be attributed direct­ly
to patient coaching and enthusias­tic
determination.
Every Auburn player was a hero.
To single one out as the outstanding
star would be an injustice.
In the words of Stuart X. Steven­son,
of the Montgomery Advertiser,
Casey Kimbrell "mounted to the cab­in",
there to remain for sixty minutes
to glitter as few stars have ever
sparkled over any gridiron turf. He
brought the crowd to their feet con­tinually
by his brilliant twisting
dashes through the Georgia defense.
No halfback ever played a better
game than Kimbrell did against
Georgia.
Bubber Phipps, as courageous a
battler as Auburn has ever had added
further laurels to his long list of
fine performances. Marion Talley
time and again throttled Georgia's
rushes by his great defensive smashes.
His offensive play was none the less
brilliant; his blocking was never bet­ter,
and he lugged the ball with all
the speed and cunning of a half­back.
Captain Ripper Williams was mas­terful
Saturday. But let Ralph Mc-
Gill, of the Atlanta Constitution, tell
it: "Williams never made a mistake.
He was an inspired field general,
calling his plays with devastating ef­fect.
He seemed to delight in his
skill, and the power that was his. He
might have been a race driver with
A great car which answered every
demand, no matter how delicate his
touch. And the engines of human
force which he directed responded
with a fluid smoothness which seem­ed
effortless, and was."
Auburn had two all-Americans
guarding the flanks in Columbus.
Bennie Fenton and Gump Ariail com­bined
their efforts to present perfect
execution of terminal performance.
Surely no greater pair of ends ever
performed as perfectly as these two
Saturday.
Mutt Morris, sophomore tackle, was
the greatest defensive linesman on
the field. Substituting for the injured
McCollum, Morris was in every play.
His exhibition Saturday stamps him
as one of the future greats of South­ern
football.
Boots Chambless, cool and collect­ed
as always, turned in another great
performance. The outstanding Tiger
guard was magnificient. No more
needs be said.
Will Chrietzberg, the home town
boy who made good, turned in his
greatest game in an Auburn uniform.
Not one time did his passes from
center come back inaccurate; not
once did he fail to stop those smashes
directed at his sector of the forewall.
Bing Miller rose to new heights,
surpassing even his brilliant showing
against Tulane. His defensive play­ing
smothered many a touchdown
play. f
Mike Welch also played the great­est
game of his career. His fighting
heart never waived, he was there bat­tling
from start to finish. He was
truly a thorn in Georgia's line at-

LIBERAL EDUCATION VS. TECHNICAL
EDUCATION
"The engineer" says Mr. Kendall Wei-siger,
assistant to the President of the
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company, a visitor to the campus last
week, "must get a varied education. If
he cannot get a job as a telephone engineer,
he must be ready and able to fit into
another job. It is easy to specialize too
much. A college man must get a liberal
education. If his technical course does
not call for wide reading in history, liter­ature,
economics, sociology, and psycho­logy,
he must direct himself or find guid­ance
somewhere else on the campus. He
must be prepared for more than one job."
He expressed the belief that business is
facing a long, slow pull back to normal and
that the old days of big, quick profits are
gone forever. "The New Deal" is trans­forming
business methods and principles.
Mr. Willard M. Kiplinger, well-known
newspaperman in Washington, warns us
that unemployment, under a regime of
ever-increasing stream of labor-saving
machinery and continuously improved in­dustrial
methods, will long be a problem.
"My belief is that we shall have four or
five million out of work for the next ten
years."
The natural inference from these re­marks
is that the best trained men only
will be available for jobs. A few years
ago, the demand was for specialists in
limited fields, but the trend now is seem­ingly
not so strong. It is only sensible
that a skilled engineer with a libera,! edu­cation
is to be preferred to a technically
trained man with a limited outlook on life
and a limited ability 'to adjust himself to
different environments and different types
of work.
"Safety-first" would, it seems, demand
a little thought and a little reading about
what's wrong with the world and what's
being done about it. That's saying nothing
about same readjustments in one's phil­osophy
of life. Shall we read and think a
bit? Needless to say, this is good sense
for others besides engineers.
OPEN PRACTICE
Since some of the students here have ex­pressed
an opinion that school spirit here
is on the decline and that some definite ac­tion
should be taken to rejuvenate it, we can
think of no better means of reaching this
end than having an open practice session
at some time in the near future.
Practice sessions have remained secret
since a few days after the start of the
current season and consequently it is hard
for the new students here to recognize the
players in uniform on the field and to cheer
for them. We believe that a large per­centage
of the enthusiasm displayed at
games is in individual cheering of the play­ers,
much as is the case at a baseball game.'
We do not feel that mass cheering should
be done away with, for it certainly should
not; but if all of the members of the student
body were given an opportunity to learn the
players on sight, it is quite evident that a
great deal more of the so called "pep" would
be exercised during the games.
This editorial is not offered as a criti­cism
of the manner in which the present
football campaign is being conducted, but
rather as a suggestion, by the observance
of which it is hoped that more support will
be given the team during the four remain­ing
games of the schedule.
BIG SHOTS?
Two of our contemporaries have vehe­mently
denounced what they term college
"Big Shots" in recent issues of their res­pective
publications. Louisiana State Uni­versity
paints us a hazy picture of a student
who is interested only in his own welfare
and who forgets to return favors for votes
received in campus elections. "He calls you
pal", says the Reville, "when he wants your
vote. When you want a favor he doesn't
exactly remember your name. He'd like to
do what you want, but you must realize
that he is a very busy man." Again he is
pictured as a hypocrite who is ever solicit­ing
aid in his school work although it is
against his teachings. "He believes in hon­esty,
truth, freedom—and he wants to know
if he can copy your government paper for
tomorrow because he doesn't have time to
study." Further,—"he gripes at the school
and the professors when anything goes
wrong but when everything is running
smoothly he is the school's" rah, rah boy."
The Oredigger, of the Colorado School of
Mines paints a similar picture which is
as follows:
"Campus 'Big Shots' are the tumors
of the .campus of American Colleges.
They strut. They expand from nice
country youths into large containers of
lukewarm air. They do not mind their
own business. Meddling into the moral
status of others seems to be their chief
occupation. They pat backs and call us
lesser mortals "fellas'. In their own
estimation they are far above the old
Greek gods. They would have the moun­tain
come to them, even
"What happens to these small cyclo­nes?
What are they doing five years
after graduation? What happened to
the bright college editor that tried to
reform everything in sight, wrote ar­ticles
on what this country needs, and
generally made himself a big pain in
the neck?
"The majority go back to the farms
and act as valet for the pigs and cows. n
Some stick around the alma mammy
and do a little side line coaching for
the other 'fellas'. Many of them try
their tactics on a tough world and land
in a comfortable rut and show their
scrap book to the kiddies and remind
other disinterested persons about their
trivial accomplishments at Podunk
Normal. Finally, they die and Saint
Peter is greeted with, 'Hi, fella!'"
It is quite apparent that both of these
schools seem inclined to misinterpret activ­ity
among some of the members of the
student.body and at the same time try to
discourage it.
Here at Auburn, the term "Big Shot" is
often heard in connection with the names
of certain members of the student body, but
this term can in now way be interpreted
here as it is at LSU and Colorado Mines.
Students should be encouraged to become
active in various extra curricular fields
and to gain as much experience as possible
while in college. And as for what becomes
of the illtermed "Big Shots", we would like
to point out that the most outstanding men
in college are invariably the ones who will
achieve greatest success in later life, as
has been conclusively shown by the numer­ous
statisticians.
THEIR OWN BACKYARD
With hundreds, of thousands in the na­tion
on~ the brink of starvation and the
government desperately striving to meet
an ugly situation, it is very interesting to
examine the payrolls of some of the men
who hold the positions of trust and in­fluence
in our economic world. During the
last five years the president of the Chase
National Bank received a salary of over
"a million dollars and another a third of a
million in bonuses. During part of this
time the bank was losing money, but the
president was not allowed to suffer because
of that, even though it is difficult to
imagine what sort of work is worth such
fabulous pay.
Charles E. Mitchell, late of the National
City Bank, was chairman of the board for
which he received the modest sum of three
and a half millions in one year in bonuses
and a salary in the bargain. This was
when the depression was at its worst.
During the same period the presidents of
five large insurance companies were paid
between one and two hundred thousand
dollars for a year of their work. The offi­cials
of Paramount Publix four years ago
got almost a million dollars between two
of them and were drawing a hundred thous­and
dollars a year when their firm was on
the verge of bankruptcy. These figures
are immense and dazzling. When one
thinks of the millions about to lose their
homes and the thousands freezing on
breadlines and at soup kitchens these fig­ures
seem truly inflamatory. Thousands
could be kept alive through the winter on
this money that these men could not use
if they wanted to.

"slaveys," David Clark and others, who

used a cellophane fan, wore enough clothes

REPEAL WILL MAKE LIQUOR HARD­ER
TO GET IN COLLEGES
Liquor is going to be harder to obtain on
some midwest campus "after repeal than it
was before, a survey showed today.
With the Eighteenth amendment repeal­ed,
many dusty campus regulations regard­ing
liquor are in the process of renovation
and these, coupled with city and state re­strictions,
promise to make the going hard
indeed for the college boys and girls who
care to tipple.
At the University of Iowa, pre-prohibi-tion
laws forbade the sale of liquor within
three miles of the campus. It is assumed
similar legislation will be passed for the
new order.
The University of Wisconsin may prove
a notable exception to the general rule,
although officials there have reached no
decision regarding' new regulations. The
Madison school now permits sale of beer
in campus dining halls and in its famous
old Rathskeller.
Illinois regulations do not forbid drinking
among students, but provide penalties for
"disorderly conduct". State universities
formerly were protected by a 4-mile dry
zone, but whether it now is legal is a moot
question.
Officials of Michigan, Minnesota and In­diana
universities are waiting for the re­turn
of liquor before crossing any bridges.
State legislatures are expected to act in
case of ban bars and taverns near the
schools.
Hamline and Macalester colleges, in St.
Paul, will forbid sale of any alcoholic bev­erage,
and ask city protection.
Several institutions, including the Uni­versity
of Wisconsin, have indicated that
if the alcoholic content of beer is increased,
then it, too, will fall under the ban.

SCULL SCALE MAY BE CONSOLATION
• Don't cry, little girl, if your quarter
grades indicate that your head is really
a bump on your neck. Some day that skull
of yours may be worth $22:00 if the Ana­tomical
labatory of Charles H. Ward, Inc.
signs the NRA.
Recent information from this company
received by the biology department of the
Florida State College for Women announ­ces
a clearance sale of human skulls. Extra
quality skulls with perfect teeth and pro­cesses
may be purchased for $22.00. Second
quality skulls, lacking some teeth are re­duced
to $10.00, while a disarticulated skull,
fine, in compartment chest is priced at
$30.00.
The local department of biology does not
plan to take advantage of these bargain
prices. Evidently, they think they have a
sufficient supply of numbskulls.—Florida

GREEN TIE MAKES FRESHIE LOSE
FAITH IN WOMEN
Because of a tie, "the tie that binds" has
been forever severed between a freshman
and a fair member of the feminine sex.
In fact the dispondent boy has become em­bittered,
cynical and filled with righteous
indignation against all women, because of
the cruel practical joke that was perpetrat­ed
on him by one example of feminine pul­chritude.
For two long, weary hours he had strug­gled
valiantly, but unsuccessfully with one
of the well-known snaky, slippery, obstinate
green bow ties that do so much enhance the
irresistable charm and bewitching beauty
of the youngest set at Washington and Lee
dances.
For two-long hours he sweated and groan­ed
and swore, but at last he surveyed the
wreckage of his room with a triumphant
eye, for he had achieved what many ex­perienced,
older men had never accomplish­ed—
he. had tied a bow tie so as to give the
effect that he desired.
Gloating over his victory and with head
held high, he paraded on the dance floor
and for a short time swayed blissfully to
the strains of peaceful music—content and
slowly recovering from the strain of the
battle.
But his peace of mind was rudely shat­tered
and with it many of his youthful il­lusions
as to the angelic qualities of angelic
faces.
For he suddenly heard his partner .say
gleefully, "I'm crazy about these green ties
you freshmen wear. I think yours so cute"
and she laughed as she untied it with one
quick jerk.
He thought of his hours of torment, look­ed
at the hated object that hung limp but
with a greenish tinge that seemed to mark.
"Yeah," said the freshman wistfully, "I
sort of liked it".—Ring-Tum-Phi.
A circus with the Freshmen as performer-acrobats,
lions, trained seals and clowns
constituted hazing at Connecticut College.
FRESHMEN'S PARADISE
Forty of the most brilliant high school
and prep school students entering Tem'pel
University from Philadelphia and vicinity
this year have been put in an experimental
group, relieved of most of the regular col­lege
student routine.
No definite course of study will be fol­lowed
or will the students be required to
attend class regularly. The only thing that
they are required to do is to co-opera'te
with the university in making the plan a
success.

BECAUSE of a conflicting fraternity
dance, one of the larger dances of ,
the year will be postponed. The dance
could have been ^arranged despite the fact
that the fraternity was having a dance—
could have been arranged in several differ­ent
ways, but the masters of the fraternity
were dead set on having their wey and
keeping the night exclusively theirs. Of
course, they have their side of the question.
They have already (so they say) sent out
invitations with the date printed on them.
However, the suggestion was made that
other fraternity dances be placed on the
same night and changing the honor ball
one day. This also met with hearty dis­approval.
Technically they are in the right
and the honor fraternity sponsoring the
larger dance has no kick coming—technical­ly.
But by all rules of civility the frater­nity
should at least bend some effort to co­operate
inasmuch as three other fraternities
have shown their willingness to cooperate
in any reasonable manner. Furthermore,
it seems to me that the social authorities
of the school who are paid to control the
affairs smoothly and satisfactorily should
keep up with the times and prevent such
mixups from happening. The fraternity has
no grounds for objecting to the honor ball
being held on the same night as their dance,
since the fraternity dance will not suffer
in attendance because of the honor ball,
nor will they want for girls, because ac­cording
to indications, the feminine portion
of the H. S. Ball will be recruited from out
of town. Beware. The dog in the manger
makes very few friends.

Like a ghost out of the past, Auburn
came rushing back Saturday to wreck elev­en
Georgia dreams. To be more definite,
the ghost that Auburn came back like was
a certain smarting 39-7 defeat at the hands
of a greedy Georgia team in 1930. If ever
word has been lifted against the men who
fought out there Saturday (fought is the
word) let those words be retracted. Every
man who played out there deserves a medal.
Revenge is sweet and that hard fighting
Auburn team is just diabetic with revenge.
What could be sweeter?
* * * *
In writing of the game Saturday, a
sports writer presumably on the job gave
an end credit for blocking Georgia's try for
extra point. In fact that much publicized
Auburn end came in for all the praise from
that certain sports writer who didn't men­tion
a single other Auburn man. Coach
Alexander wrote at length on the Tech-
Alabama contest stating that it was the
south's best game this season. Not that
he was at all influenced by the fact that
he coaches the Tech team. It is a peculiar
thing that the Georgia sports writers didn't
see the brave all-southern Georgia end re­sort
to assault and battery to remove one
of his opponents who was playing the game
entirely too well. In fact this sort of thing
occurred more than once during the game
and very little was done about it. It seems
strange, but every year at the Georgia-Au­burn
game it seems that the men who play
best come out of the game with rather pe­culiar
injuries. One year it was a back who
knew all the tricks of not getting hurt. So
they threw dirt in his eyes and called it a
day and won a close ball game. In my
opinion, the team had a tough afternoon of
it fighting and playing football too.

Too little emphasis has been placed on the
importance of patronizing Plainsman ad­vertisers.
Every advertisement in the
Plainsman helps the staff to put out a
better paper. This is the student paper,
and there are some few business men in
town who are making a living out of student
trade, even reading the student newspaper
which they get free instead of a home town
newspaper, and yet these same persons re­fuse
to advertise in the Plainsman. Those
who advertise are paying for the paper
you read, give them a break.

B. C. Pope, liar, cheat and swindler has
at last come into his own. He predicted
that Auburn would beat two touchdowns
to one and sure enough they did. After all
the razzing Pope has gotten this season
with his picks, I'd say it took intestinal
fortitude to predict an Auburn victory, and
on top of that he hit the score smack on
the head. Much as I hate to do it, I vote
a columar orchid to B. C. Pope.

At the conclusion of the program
sandwiches and coffee were served.
AUBURN PLAYERS WILL AGAIN
PRESENT MODERN MELODRAMA
Encouraged by the comments of
those who saw the presentation
"Ransom Racket" Thursday night,
the Auburn Players decided at their
regular weekly meeting Monday
night to give the play again for the
benefit of those who were unable to
attend' the first show. The date is
not an absolute certainty but it seems
probable at this time that December
7th or 8th would be the best time
to give the play. Critics on the fac­ulty
and students have both acclaim­ed
this ultra-modern melodrama as
one of the outstanding amateur pro­ductions
of Auburn dramatic history,
and with sufficient time to iron~out
some minor difficulties that arose
in the first show, the second pre­sentation
of "Ransom Racket" should
be better than the first.
Due to several vacancies in the
Players' offices, an election was
called last night to select a group of
officers for the balance of this term.
Leonard Nelson, an outstanding and
very active member of the Auburn
Players, was elected President. Other
officers are: Ruth Jones, Auburn,
Vice-President; Georgia Lee Jackson,
of Clairmont Springs, Secretary;
Mary Elizabeth Watson, Treasurer;
Gerald Laubenthal, Mobile, Stage
Manager; and James Parrish, Au­burn,
Business-Manager.
TUO.Fraternity Host
At Dance Friday
The Eta Beta Chapter of Theta
Upsilon Omega Fraternity entertain­ed
on last Friday night with a dance
at their home on South Gay Street.
Footlights of modernistic design
bearing the coat of arms, pledge em­blem
and fraternity letters were
placed around the living room.
Streamers of old gold and blue, the
fraternity colors, were draped below
the ceiling forming a-canopy for the
dancers as they made merry to the
music of the Auburn Knights.
Many out-of-town girls were guests
of the fraternity during the evening.
During the course of the dance the
many visitors were favored with a
leadout.
Three Delegates Off
For YWC A Meeting
Three Auburn representatives left
the city Thursday afternoon for the
annual Y. W. C. A. Convention which
is being held in Birmingham this
week end. Those attending are:
Dorothy Sellers, president of the local
organization, Frances Ashurst and
Melba Holly.
At the meeting last Friday after­noon
the subject "Open Roads" was
adopted as the topic of discussion this
year. Representatives of the Auburn
"Y" have expressed their expecta­tions
of receiving some information
concerning this topic from other col­leges.
YOUNG-WOODALL WEDDING IS
SOLEMNIZED THURSDAY NIGHT
The marriage of Miss Frances Eu­genia
Young, second daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. C. J. Young, to Mr. Leslie
Woodall, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
Leslie Woodall of Greensboro, N. C,
took place Thursday evening at 7:30
o'clock at the home of her parents.
Members of the family and a few
close friends were present. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. J.
R. Edwards, pastor of the First Bap­tist
Church.
The bride wore a fall suit of eel
gray with black lapin fur collar. Her
flowers- were a shoulder corsage of
orchids.
Mrs. Woodall is descended from
the Baxter-Suttles families of North
Carolina on her mother's side and
the Blantons, Jacksons and Lees of
Virginia and North Carolina on her

It's easy to see why so many women prefer
Lucky Strike. Luckies are fully packed with
long strands of choice tobaccos, round and
firm to the very tips. That means Luckies
always draw easily, always burn smoothly.
It also means no annoying loose ends to
cling to lips or mess up the nice things
in a woman's purse. And every day
more and more women are showing their
appreciation by saying "Luckies please".

Buddy McCollum and Tiny Holmes,
although crippled from previous in­juries,
brilliantly fought and boxed
during their stay in the game. Each
had to be relieved, but not until they
had given their all in a cause that
would not be denied.
. The other Auburn players to see
action, Jack Kemp, Red Head, Allen
Rogers, and Sterling Dupree, did their
part and deserve their share of the
glory which was Auburn's.
Auburn took the play to Georgia
from the start by a magnificient 80-
yard drive to a touchdown in the first
period, requiring only nine plays to
complete the perfectly executed
march. Featuring the advance was
a 31 yard surge by Marion Talley,
and two sparkling dashes by Kimbrell
of 29 and 19 yards. Phipps and Kim­brell
slashed the Georgia defense to
carry the ball to the Bulldogs four
yard line from which point Talley
smashed over for the touclhdown.
Gump AriaiFs kick was good, and the
Tigers were out in front 7 to 0.
Georgia came back in the second
period in one great play to score what
later proved to be their only touch­down
of the game. While the Tigers
were closely guarding the famed Cy
Grant and Sam Brown, a substitute
fullback by the name of Minot dash­ed
off right tackle and in a great
exhibition of broken field running,
crossed Auburn's goal line 52 yards
away. The Tigers, however, were de­termined
that Georgia would not tie
the score. As the ball was snapped,
a quick opening was made in the line,
and Casey Kimbrell dashed through
and blocked Grant's effort at goal.
The second Tiger touchdown came
in the third period after a punt had
given Auburn the ball on Georgia's
45. Phipps faded back, well protect­ed
by Williams and Talley, and let
go a perfect forward pass which Ben-nie
Fenton, brilliant left end, caught
on the 15-yard line. Fenton never
checked his pace and dashed the re­maining
distance to cross the goal
line. Mr. Ariail came through with
another perfect kick from placement
to further advance the Tiger margin.
And thus ended the scoring, but by
no means the thrilling moments, the
anxiety, the suspense. One whose
heart was out there with those Tigers
was not able to breathe deeply until
the final whistle ended the struggle,
sending the word out to an anxious
nation that another ^uper-team had
fallen, and that Auburn had once
more accomplished the impossible.

the extra point and ended the scoring
for the afternoon. Score Auburn 21,
Tech 13.
Auburn's running attack was con­centrated
on Tech's tackles, with Kil-gore,
Mitchell, and Scott piling up
most of the first downs. Mitchell's
punting was of varsity calibre, and
Karam's end runs in the fourth quar­ter
held a hint of Kimbrell's speed.
The centers of both teams stood out
in the line play. Gantt, of Auburn,
was remarkable in his backing up of
the line. Preston of Tech should make
Alexander a fine pivot man next year
with his charging and his accurate
passing.

Work on the Girl's Gymnasium
lacks only a few finishing touches for
its completion. The top floor has
been completely renovated and is now
being used by the girls physical train­ing
classes. The first floor has been
given over to the Women's Athletic
Association club rooms, the Camp
Fire Girls club room, and the offices
of the instructors. The basement has
been converted into dressing rooms
and 'showers.
New mats, rings, and other athletic
equipment has been purchased and are
expected to arrive soon. This equip­ment
will be installed so that better
playing facilities for the girls will be
available.
• The grounds adjoining the gymna­sium
have been cleaned and tennis
courts are under construction on the

This is in line with a recent reduction
anounced by three Southern railroads.
The rates are experimental. Six
months is the period set for their op­eration,
-and at the end of that time
new announcements will be made.
The four railroads are the Atlantic
