MATCH
en Attend Annual En­campment
i
The engineers camp was held at
a new location last summer, Camp
Meade, Maryland, being selected as
the place for the training . This
location was a fine one with re­gard
to its proximity to large
towns, as Washington, Baltimore,
and Annapolis were very near, be­ing
connected by electric lines,
while New York and Philadelphia
were not far off. Although there
was the usual amount of "griping"
that is displayed at every camp,
the Auburn contingent seemed pret­ty
well satisfied with the condi­tions
up there and had a reason­ably
pleasant time.
The juniors from the engineers
unit arrived at Camp Meade on
July 19, and were assigned to
Company 5. Therjfc. were seven

The schools \ i-Arires<»Et'"1
were University of Tennessee,
University of Alabama, Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, Virginia Mili­tary
Institute, Carnegie Institute
of Technology, Johns Hopkins Uni­versity,
and last but not least, Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute. The
entire R. O. T. C. camp was com­posed
of 600 students, divided into
six companies. The different units
represented were cavalry, aitil-lery,
infantry and engineers. The
engineer company was the largest,
numbering 160 men, 30 of whom

Y.M.C.A. To Give
"Rat" Social
Friday Nite
Something new in the history of
Auburn will be attempted on Fri­day
night at 8:30 P. M. in the Alum­ni
Gymnasium in the form of a
"Rat" Social. It will be exclusive­ly
social as no speeches will have
to be endured and refreshments will
be served. The purpose of the
event is to create among the mem­bers
of the Freshman class, a spirit
of fellowship, and it is hoped that
all Freshmen will avail themselves
of the opportunity to meet their
brother "Rats" and have an all-round
good time. "Billy" Drake,
the Freshman Director, of the
Friendship Council is in charge of
this work. It is a novel idea, well
worth trying, and every Freshman
should be there and let '^Billy"
show him a good time.

Last Sunday, the officers of the
lrp.ii wodt of the yt3l^J h l n i PcSing' the best ever given by the "A" Club
was called to order by President
Turk; Mr. P. T. Ray was called
upon to read the scripture lesson.
After a prayer by Mr. Turk, busi­ness
was begun. The task before
the council was the selection of
lieutenants by the captains. The
two majors and the twenty captains
worked hard for an hour and a half
in an effort to make a good, rep
resentative selection. In the near
future, the next step will be taken,
which will be the selection of pri­vates
by the lieutenants. A great
year is open to the Friendship
Council, and a desperate effort is
being made to make a success of it.
Ag. Club Meets
There was a splendid attendance
at Ag. Club last Thursday evning
and the splendid program was
greatly enjoyed by all. In accord­ance
with the proposed policy of
the Club: that at least one notable
speaker be invited each meeting,
Mr. Emmett Sizemore was present.
Mr. Sizemore is well known for
his work in the Extension Depart­ment
and his few words were quite
effective. He congratulated the Club
on the good attendance and spoke
of his membership a few years ago.
It seems that the organization was
considered more or less of a joke
then and never put over a worth­while
project. He urged the pro­gram
committee to have something
definite to put over at each meet­ing.
Mr. Bailey spoke of the work and
purpose of Henville and related
some interesting information as to
particulars of the National Egg
Laying Contest soon to begin at
the new poultry establishment.
J. M. Palmer described how it
feels to bel a sophomore, an en­viable
achievement, as he also re­lated
how it "felt" to be a "Rat."
Rat Gowder gave some mighty good
reasons why a Freshman should
always be well supplied with
matches. O. F. Wise related some
humorous experiences.
The music was furnished by the
Tiger Harmony Six, which perform­ed
nobly until midnight.
Wirt Literary
Society Growing
The Wirt Literary Society held
its regular meeting en Monda/
night, September 22nd. It is a
pleasing fact that the Wirt is still
growing into a larger, livelier and
more important organization. This
is manifested in the number of
new members that have been add­ed,
and in those who have been
pledged, and in the interest taken
by all the members in the work in
hand.
Mr. Staton of the1 Wilsonian So­ciety
paid the society a visit f;nd
was called upon for a speech. In
his talk he asked the cooperation
of all the societies in helping each
other to carry on their work. Miss
Grace Gardner then gave a very
entertaining and humorous read­ing.
Mr. Collier entertained the
society with jokes. A committee
consisting of Mr. Elder and Mr.
Spenser was appointed by the
President to cooperate with the
other societies in this work.
After the business was disposed
of, the society adjourned until next
Monday night.
Two Auburn Men Grad­uate
From West Point
Two Auburn men, J. R. Moon '20
and J. T. Trawick, '21, were mem
bers of the 1924 graduating class at
United States Military Academy.
Both men made enviable records
while at the Academy and were
popular among the Cadet Corps.
Moon has been commissioned sec­ond
lieutenant and is assigned to
the Twenty Ninth Infantry at Fort
Penning and Trawick is attached
to Headquarters Infantry School at
Fori McPherson, Atlanta.
Scholarship and leadership—
these are two of the chief objects
of the women's senior honor so-
! ciety, "Lamps," which has just
' been established at Auburn., It is
of fa?0 senior class wno*»>
attainments have shown these char­acteristics.
Admission into the Lamps is a
distinction which every woman stu­dent
should set as her goal. Mem­bers
will be chosen from the jun­ior
class each year, as near the be­ginning
of the second term as pos­sible,
so that they may enjoy the
privileges of membership for a
year and a half of their college
life.
One of the future aims of the
society will be to establish schol­arships
for girls, who are worthy
and who are not financially able,
to come to Auburn.
The charter members of this or­ganization,
as selected by a facul­ty
committee, are: Elizatbeth Col-lings,
Lysbeth Fullan, Georgia
Thomas, Leila Jordan, and Emily
Hare. This group has elected Miss
Zoe Dobbs to~full membership.
Opelika Rotary
Club Awards
Scholarship
The Opelika Rotary Club which
as maintained a scholorship at
Auburn for the past two years, has
awarded a third one this year to
Miss Eleanor Kicker, a graduate of
Opelika High School last session.
Miss Kicker has entered the
freshman class in Home Econom­ics.
She is very happy in receiv­ing
the scholarship and says she
is determined to obtain the most
from her opportunity.
The Plainsman joins others in
expressing their appreciation of
the noble work of the Opelika Rot­ary
Club.
Social Committee
Appointed
PATILLO PRESIDENT
Freshman Convocation
Regular -Freshman Convocation
Tuesday was devoted to the reading
of by-laws of Student Government
and a talk on Student Government
by C. H. Turk, President of the
Student Council.
In reviewing the history of Stu­dent
Government, Mr. Turk pointed
out the many responsibilities which
Freshmen are required to assume
in order that Student Government
may be kept intact at Auburn. He
urged the Freshmen to read care­fully
the rules and regulations and
abide! by them; that when a man
comes to college here he is treated
and respected as an Auburn man,
and Auburn stands for honor and
everything that is right.
Devotional exercises were con­ducted
by Dr. Dowell, preceded by
singing of the Alma Mater song. Dr.
Dowell, in a brief address, stated
that the largest Freshman Class in
the history of the institution is on
the campus.
At a recent meeting of the Stu­dent
Council, the Social Committee
for the-term of '24-'25 was appoint­ed.
A joint meeting was then call­ed
to notify them of their appoint­ment.
The meeting being in ses­sion,
the Student Council asked that
retire-tee
to elect officers. Thetoilowing
officers and members, who will
handle the music, decorations, and
conduct at the college dances were
elected:
L. C. Patillo, Chairman.
F. E. Russey, Secretary.

Meeting of A. S. C. E.
The student chapter of the
American Society of Civil Engi­neers
held their first meeting of the
college year, Monday night.
The meeting was called to order!
by the president, A. L. Scott, who
gave a brief outline of the aims of
the society, and of its benefits to--
all embryo civil and highway engi- s-neers.
Due to the fact that this
was the first meeting of the year,
no regular program was given, but
plans welre discussed toward ar­ranging
an interesting program for
the next meeting. Owing to the
lack of advertisement of the meet­ing,
only a few Senior members
were present. Several new mem­bers
were recruited, however, from
the Junior class, the neiw entrants
being: L. T. DeBardeleben, J. W.
Chambers, J. B. Carter, A. T. Ken-drick,
E. F. Kilpatrick, S. W. Har­bin,
W. D. Horton, J. E. Whitfield,

appointed by the president: Pro­gram
committee: A. H. Riley, S. W.
Harbin, and W. D. Horton. Mem­bership
committee, W. J. Turner,
M. Salzman, and L..T. DeBardeleb­en.
The next meeting will be held on
Monday night, October sixth, at
••even P. M. Membership in this
society nets five quality points to
all members who attend regularly
and appear on the program at least
once each semester. All Senior
members are expected to be pres­ent
at the next meeting, and all
Juniors in the civil and highway
artments are cordially invited
to attend, and to become members
of the society.

SMASH SOUTHERN
Gang, the football season is onT The old Tiger meets the Panther,
in Birmingham, Saturday. We must put out some energy and help
get that old fight in the best football team in the world. SMASH
SOUTHERN is our cry for the next few days. Now is the time for
every Tiger supporter to get the team on his brain. As the shadows
blend into darkness over the "Loveliest Village of the Plains," let your
Tiger spirit rise within you.
Fill your lungs full of cool, calm, fresh air. Now let this air be
exhaled in the greatest battle cry of the age—WAR EAGLE. Make
'em loud. Make them ring throughout the village -as did the cry "To
Arms" in '76. That's right, let's hear 'em, "WAR EAGLE," "EAT 'EM
UP TIGER," "SMASH SOUTHERN."
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Is Student Government still on your mind? Is it worth repeti­tion
that Student Government will be dubbed a success or a failure,
in Auburn, after its operation this year. If you want it to become a
real working success, you must become an active part of it. Get. the
LAUNDRY DELAY
Many students, have been annoy­ed
on account of unavoidable de­lay
in the return of laundry this
week. This delay was due to the
fact tuat a new system of marking
tne laundry has beep inaugurated,
which makes it necessary that each
piece be remarked. The water
question is also a matter that must
ue taKen into consideration as a
laundry cannot operate when the
water is off. The amount of laun­dry
sent in by each individual was,
as it always is at the opening of
school, much more! than it ordinar­ily
is.
If those who failed to get their
laundry on time will think of the
enormous amount of work attach­ed
to laundering over 1,400 bundles
in a few days and the handicaps
under which the laundry has op­erated
this week, they will readily
see why better work was not turn­ed
out.
Just ask your friends to excuse
the dirty collar this time and give
the laundry another chance. They
will greatly appreciate it and as
they have promised prompt service
in the future, forget it.

Y. M. C. A. HANDBOOK
The handbook given out by the Y. M. C. A. this term is one of
which Auburn can be justly proud. The book contains a complete
supply of information concerning Auburn and the Auburn student
body. It is better bound and more attractive than any of the pre­vious
Auburn handbooks. The Plainsman joins others in compli-memting
the staff for its good work. The men we refer to are: J. M.
Dean, Editor-in-chief; D. Baughman, A. E. Duran, O. S. Hagerman, W.
L. Randolph, Associate editors and R. G. Staton, Business Manager.
The bleachers are made for observers to sit on and the field for
them to stay off during football practice.
Last Friday night, September
llrth, the Square and Compass
Fraternity gave a smoker for all
college Masons. The object was to
Decome acquainted with one an­other,
and was in every particular
an old time "bull shooting" party.
Frank Dorriil acted as chairman
in a very capable manner intro­ducing
the speakers with some of
his well known wit. . Practically
all present were called on to make
speeches. Prof. D. J. Burleson, a
faculty member, told what the
Square and Compass had done for
Masonry and the College in Au­burn.
*-
Mr. Isbell and Mr. Beatty gave a
ompass as
eadquarters. Mr. Campbell ex­plained
the aims and purposes of
the Square and Compass in rela­tion
to Masonry among college men.
He explained that the Square and
Compass was founded at Washing­ton
and Lee and has grown into a
national organization with 56 ac­tive
chapters in the leading colleges
of the United States. The Auburn
chapter was founded in 1920 and
is the outgrowth of the Masonic
Club which was in existence for a
number of years.
LEAP YEAR KID
Dear Friend,
Your house is most too large foi
one,
But just the size for two,
Suppose you fix it up real cute,
And I come and keep house with
you
You've been alone too long my dear
I know yQU lonesome are,
Let us take a wedding trip this
year aboard a Pullman car
A bachelor they say you will be
But perhaps you are my fate
So I"ll drop you these few lines
To see if you want me for a" mate
If I should slip my hand in yours
And I am rather slow
And ask you to marry me
Would you "say "Yes" or "No"?
They say two hearts can beat as
one
Can yours beat time with mine?
If so let's take our honeymoon
Before you are twenty-nine.
Your chum is married now
And lonesome you must be
To make you happy
You need a little girl like me
'Tis dangerous to go down life's
hill alone
This kind of weather
So let me slip my hand in yours
and we go down together
I'll bet a kiss you can't guess who
wrote this
Your Leap Year Kid.
All "Sheiking" records for Au­burn
were broken on September
14, when a certain student held a
date at the "Zoo" from 12:30 P. M.
to 10:30 P. M. and then complained
to Co-ed Watson for closing it up
so soon. For a number of reasons,
his name must not be given here,
but he has recently come to be
known among the members of the
Wilsonian Literary Society as "The
Call of the Wild."

FACULTY WHO'S WHO
DR. DRAKE
When a physician administers to
the needs of the ailing students for
53 years, without missing a single
day, it would seem as if reUrejment
at the ripe age of 79 years had
oeen weli earned; yet Doctor Rob­ert
S. Drake, college physician at
Auburn, still insists on keeping on
the job.
Dr. Drake is a native of South
Carolina, his family moving to Ala­bama
when he was quite young,
however, he calls Alabama home.
The State at that time was known
as part of the frontier region.
When the Civil War began he en­listed
in the Confederate; Army, still
in his 'teens. At the close of the
war he was paroled near Augusta,
Ga. There; was only one horse be­tween
he and a fellow Confederate
so they formulated a plan whereby
they both could return to Alabama
without having to walk all the-way.
One of them would ride< a certain
distance and hitch the horse an*
the one following would walk tin-til
he had reached the horse and
ride the same distance and hitch
and vice versa until they had
reached Auburn.
"Doc", as he is affectionately
called by the student body, is a
favorite among the students. His
gentle and sympathetic understand­ing,
whether it be homesickness or
whatnot, has won for him a num­ber
of friends. Wherever you find
an Auburn man you will find a
staunch friend of Dr. Drake.
A remarkable feature about Dr.
Drake is his wonderful memory.
Once he is acquainted with one he
never forgets them. Recently there
was an alumni of the class of '98
visiting in Auburn and when Dr.
Drake saw him he called his name
and the class in which he gradu­ated.
He has brightened many a
fevered brow and made scores of
student forget their pains while he
recited the works of a favorite au­thor.
He can recite volume upon
volume of poetry with th« utmost
ease.
Dr. Drake has lived in ony two
houses since coming to Auburn. He
lived in the place known as the
Old Couch Place for five years and
then moved to his present domicile
on College Street where he has liv­ed
for the past forty-eight years.
The^re is no person living that
was connected with the college
at the time Dr. Drake took charge
as physician. The late Dr. W. C.
Stubbs, who died in New Orleans
this summer marked the passing of
the last member of the group that
composed the first faculty.' Dr.
Stubbs was for a number of years
connected with the Chemistry De­partment.
Dr. Drake has served during the
administrations of six presidents of
the college: Dr. W. C. Sassanett,'
Dr. Tichenor, Colonel Boyd, Dr.
Broun, Dr. Thach, and Dr. Dowell-our
president now.
There are two children, a son
connected with the Health Depart­ment,
in Birmingham, and Mrs.
Mary Askew of Auburn, of whom
Dr. Drake; is very proud, but not
half so much as they and the thous­ands
of former and present Auburn
men who are so justly proud of
him.

Conduct during picture shows is very commendable, this year.

Nobody swatted the fly.
Nobody had seen a wrist watch.

The Seven Mistakes of Life
1. The delusion that individual
advancement is made by crushing
others down.
2. The tendency to worry about
things that cannot be changed or
corrected.
3. Insisting that a thing is im­possible
because we ourselves can-
"iiot accomplish it.
4. Attempting to compel other
persons to believe as we do.
5. Neglect in developing and re­fining
the mind by not acquiring
the habit of reading fine literature.
6. Refusing to set aside trivial
preferences in order that impor­tant
things may be accomplished.
7. Failure to establish the habit
* saving money.
Mr. L. I. Davis, '16, a graduate
in electrical engineering, .was a
distinguished visitor to the Village
on last Saturday. Mr. Davis went
into the services of the Westing-house
Electric and Manufacturing
Coffipany at East Pittsburg. Com­pleting
his work there he entered
the Navy as Electrical Engineer
and saw much actual service. At
the end of the war he went with
the Electrical Testing Laboratory
at New York. Leaving there after
several years, he entered the em­ploy
of the Worthington Pump and
Machinery Corporation at New
York. After several years with
them he went with the Otis Elevat­or
Company as Electrical Engineer
in charge of tests. He is in charge
of all tests in the development of
new apparatus.

W CO-ED ACTIVITIES
Instead of that oki theme of Coue about "Day by day in every
•way" we have another- of importance. It is one which we should
i think of, not only twice, a day, but almost twice every minute. It
is the one we have heard so much about lately that it should not be
difficult for us to remember. Yes, it is the same old saying that
"Everybody speaks on the campus."
Now this does not apply to rats alone, or to seniors, or to the thin
or to the fat, or to the men. It means everybody. Girls, please no-
'fice. It means you, too. In Auburn no formal introduction is nec­essary.
We all know each other; we all have the Auburn Spirit;
"Arid that is enough. Let us always remember that we are in that big
family of "Everybody" who "speaks on the campus."

is also possible that some of the

number eight.

2. Freshmen shall not at any

"The New Architecture
• • : A DISTINCTLY new tendency is apparent in architectural
J \ . thought and design today. Architects are designing in
- masses — the great silhouette, the profile of the building has
become of far greater importance than its detail.
There is a new vigor and ruggedness even in buildings which are conven-
. - • - tipnally classic in their detail. Masses mount upward, supporting the tower,
* • accentuating its height. The new architecture is tending toward great struc­tures
rather than multiplicity of detail.
Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organization,
will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture of the future.

Sororties New System
The Women's Panhellenic has re­cently
taken a step which, it is
thought, will be of great benefit to
the women students of Auburn,
both now and in the future. That
is the adoption of preferential bid­ding
as a way of sending out fra­ternity
invitations.
Almost all large colleges have this
system of bidding and it is con­sidered
the best and most work­able
kind by many who have made
a study of fraternity conditions. On
bid day each fraternity will send
the names of the girls it wishes to
bid to a person chosen by the
Council. Each of these girls will
then be notified that she has re­ceived
a bid to a sorority and will
be asked to write her preferences.
Then a disinterested person will
send the invitations. These prefer­ences
arc known only to each girl in
question and to the person chosen
by the council, who is entirely dis­interested.
This system will save
the trouble and feeling caused by
any girl's receiving more than one
bid. •
The sororities feel that they have
taken a decided step forward in
adopting this system. The four
sororities in the Panhellenic Coun­cil
are, Kappa Delta, Chi Omega,
Sigma Rho, and Phi Delta Rho.
AUBURN ENGINEERS MAKE
GOOD SHOWING AT CAMP
(Continued from Page 1)
Y.W. C. A. HUT
The little Y. W. hut was the scene
of the first meeting of the year on
Sunday afternoon. A large number
of the women students were pres­ent
and the room had quite a cosy
mi: By the use of strong imagi­nations
those present were able to
thrill over the thoughts of the won­derful
Y. W. hut and home to be.
They could picture the room as
it will look in the future with cur­tains
at the windows, reading
tables arranged in the open spaces
of the room, office and kitchenette
equiped, a shelf or two of the new­est
books in the library, rugs on
the floor, shaded lamps on the
walls, and many other things to
make the home as lovely as it will
eventually be.
First, the business of the day
was taken up. Plans for a silver
tea and formal opening of the hut
were announced. This tea was
planned by Miss Lulie Gamble,
chairman of the Social Committee|.
and took place on Thursday after­noon.
Announcement of the Cab­inet
Training Council for the state,
to be held in Auburn on the week
end of October 11th, was made.
This plan was received with de­light
and all seemed ready to co­operate
to help make it a success.
Miss Emily Hare, the president,
gave a welcome to the girls stress­ing
the aim of the Y. W. C. A. for
the year, a promotion of friendly
spirit among the women students.
Miss Dorothy Duggar then gave an
interesting talk on "Comradeship",
bringing out the fact that this is
the chief thing that gives a Y. W.
C. A. life and charm. Miss Eliza­beth
Young then spoke to group,
telling them of possible openings
for girls who wish to go into Y. W.
C. A. work as a profession.
Camp Meade, one of whom was
Captain Pick, the best liked man
in the company, who is now R. 0.
T. C. instructor at Auburn.
Camp Meade is one of the larg­est
camps in the United States,
there being in camp this summer
four thousand in the C. M. T. C,
and four thousand regulars, in ad­dition
to the six hundred R. O. T. C.
Students. Every Friday there was
a review held for the commanding
General. On the last week-end
spent in camp, the Commanding
General ordered an all-night man­euver
in which the entire camp
took part.
Reveille came a little too regular­ly
to suit the embryo soldiers, but
after being roused from their dow­ny
couches, the studes were put
through a hasty infantry drill, to­gether
with a preliminary course
in sighting and aiming. There was
a week on the range mixed in with
the rest of the summer's menu, and
this was found to be the hardest
work of all, as the hours were long­er,
and the chow not exactly up to
Waldorf-Astoria standards. After
the week of range-work was com­pleted,
Johns Hopkins was found
to have qualified the highest per­cent
of men firing with Auburn
second. The pleasant week on the
range being behind them, the young
engineers then took up the various
things expected of their branch of
the service, such as fortifications,
demolitions, barbed-wire entangle­ments,
sewage disposal, and many
different types of bridge construc­tion,
together with other minor de­tails.
These varied employments
helped make the men versatile, but
they worried the students some­what,
as different jobs called for
different kind of clothing and on
some days had the men busier than
the Prince of Wales on calling day.
Life- was not all dreary routine
at camp, however. The students
worked union hours, getting Wed­nesday
afternoon off, and having
leave from Saturday noon, till
eleven P. M. Sunday night. On the
Glorious fourth, two and a half
days leave was given, the men avail­ing
themselves of this opportunity
of visiting the nearby towns and
seeing the bright lights. There
were also week-end excursions giv­en
to Washington. Baltimore, and
Annapolis.
In the nature of entertainments,
there was the Government picture
house, Kieth's vaudeville every Sun­day,
as well as boxing bouts be­tween
the regular army men.
There were tennis courts and swim­ming
pools, and each company had
their baseball team. There was an
intercompany baseball league, of
which Company 5 was the winner,
the deciding game being won from
the sixth company, which was com­posed
of V. M. I. men. As usual,
an Auburn man was there in the
pinch. With Company 5 at the
short end of a 3-1 score in the fi­nal
inning, "Steve" Stevenson step­ped
to the plate as a pinch-hitter,
and hit the first ball pitched up
into the thin air for a circuit clout,
the bases being crowded at the
time.
During the last week in July,
there was an inter-R. O. T. C. meet,
in which the Auburn representa­tives,
Locke, Campbell, Scott, and
Midgette, showed up well assisting
the engineer company to win sec­ond
place. A week later the C. M.
T. C-R. O. T. C. meet was held, in
which the R. 0. T. C. won by a
last minute spurt, the margin be­ing
five points. Locke and Mid­gette
were the Auburnites who plac­ed
in this meet.
At the end of the training period,
there were sixteen men picked from
the company for honorable men­tion,
two of whom were Auburn
men, the highest man being R. G.
Staton. The other man from A. P.
I. receiving honorable mention was
Midgette. Taken all in all, Auburn
made themselves thoroughly heard
from in the alien North, and helped
the engineer company uphold their
unit's reputation as -Uncle Sam's
Pride.

TRANSLATED
The commercial magnate paid a
surprise visit to a branch office
and discovered a junior slacking.
"You're fired I" he shouted. "Take
this note to the cashier."
He scribbled a note in the hand
which everybody in the company
knew, but which nobody had ever
been able to read.
After looking at it upside down
and from the northern and eastern
aspects, the junior took it to the
cashier.
"What's all this about?" asked
the latter, after a severe mental
struggle, and hoping that he held
the slip the right way up.
"I can't read it," said the lad,
but the boss said he wanted me
to have a $10 raise."—Boston

Writing stuff like this is like be­ing
at a dance—somebody's toes

and careful people are less liable

A week-end dance at Auburn is
a homely girl's heaven. She is
bound to get what she craves the
most—a big rush—believe it or
leave it, but they all crave popu­larity—
short lived tho' it be.
The first A club dance of the
season was enjoyed by fully 200
students—15 female and 185 male—
and as usual we have a couple or
two out of town girls. Yet every­thing
ran along rather nicely until
some first year representative ask­ed
'where the punch was being
served. He was told that the only
punch there, was in the music. He,
upon seeing the joke, went up­town,
drank a milk chocolate, whis­tled
a tune or two, and thence
went home and to bed.
What has become of the Co-ed
who asked if Clabber Williams was

Don't wonder when the Band will

wasn't built in a day, you know.
We can't help but think that we
ought to have a regular student as

of the Tiger to once more get the
old "War Eaglei" oiled up and ready
to go. As there has been no regu­lar
cheer-leader so far this year,
the rboters have not been able to
' get going, and therefore the arrival
'•'•:;' of Mr. Wood is welcomed by every-
IVfendy.
In kH probability, Wood will of­ficiate
as head noise-inspirer. It
will be* necessary, however, to elect
two assistants to help out Wild Bill.
The^elections will take place Sat­urday
afternoon at the Birmingham-
Southern matinee. These assistants
will work along with Wood all sea­son,
and will absorb some of his
pep and general all-around ability,
and one of these will in all prob­ability
be the cheer-leader next
I year.
Besides giving most of his time
up to promoting enthusiasm during
the last football season, Wood was
\ able to write the "Alma Mater"
song, a hymn of loyalty by which
* he will be remembered for years
to come. With a real Auburn man
like Wood to lead, the studes, both
Rats and old men, should get to­gether,
brush up on the yells, and
make the welkin ring when the
Clemson Tiger invade* the lair of
the Auburn Feline.
'ootball Matinee Saturday
For the benefit of those unfor­tunates
who are unable to make the
opening game in Birmingham, a
football matinee will be held in
Langdon Hall Saturday afternoon.
For the nominal admission fee of
"two bits" the complete account of
the game, play by play, can be
heard.

One of the esteemed Birmingham
dailies, in publishing the pictures
of some of the Birmingham-South­ern
gridders, mentioned two of the
men1 as being delegated to stop the
rushes^of the Auburn backs. An­other
man was to be depended on
to do a lot of advancing with the
ball. Well, the intentions are ex­cellent,
but there is a mighty fa­mous
road paved with good inten­tions,
and it looks like a couple of
paving bricks are at hand.

And besides, this glowing op­timism
concerning next Saturday's
) rivals didn't hold out. On an-
' other page of the same paper the
statement was made that judging
the scrimmage with the Rats last
Fiturday the best that Southern
could do would be to hold Auburn
to a low score. Is the Southern en-thusiarh
really seeping out, or do
the wicked people in Birmingham
want to deceive the guileless Au-supporters
to bet on a seem­ly
sure thing?

This year's Rat Bible is a fine
publication in every way, but they
have some track records listed
there that we did not know existed
before. We are glad to note that
S. Martin holds the high-jump rec­ord
with a high-water mark of 39
feet, 31-2 inches. It is to be doubt­ed
that even the University of Cali­fornia,
with its boasted super-ath­letes
can produce so agile a jump­er.

Bigboy White will no doubt be
delighted to know that he holds
a broad-jump record of 165 feet,

would advise him to stick to his

SMASH SOUTHERN
With the Panther fighting the
Tiger Saturday the game should be
held in a zoo. However, they do
say that the "Zoo" is no place for
a football man during the training
season.
With the monotonous eariy-sea-soii
grind now over, and the team
tuned up to meet all comers, Coach
n t t s is now ready to rest his case,
as tUe lawyers say. The backfield
seems about ready to carry the bail
almost anywnere, and the line
souns prepared to aiscourage any
sucn leiiuencies on me part oi ine
opposing piayers. vvnen tne Bir-miugnam-
aoutnern Panthers trot
out on the field they will find
waiting tor tnem a well trained
and confident Tiger.
A small hospital list was develop­ed
last week, but none of the in­juries
are of a nature that would
disable the men for any length of
time. Reeder had his nose crack­ed,
while Ollinger, Brice and Mar­ket
are temporarily hors de com­bat.
On the whole, however, the
Tiger squad is in excellent shape,
and is waiting impatiently for the
referee's whistle to start off the
1924 season.
As the training season has pro­gressed,
the scrimmaging has got­ten
harder and harder, until as a
climax, last Saturday's meeting
took on the aspects of a real battle,
with the opposing teams each get­ting
a share of carrying the ball.
Each team showed plenty of fight,
and the scrapping ability displayed
gives promise of trouble in huge
gobs to the opposing teams this sea­son.
Last week Lawrence was moved
from his unnatural position on the
second string team and took his
place as center on the first squad,
a position that he will hold from
now on. Should the occasion arise
for Captain Fatty to be absent from
the fray, Abe Robinson and Lutz
will carry on. For years Auburn
has been noted for the excellence
of her centers, and it seems that
her reputation will be ably" upheld
by Lawrence, while Robinson is a
fine prospect for next year. ^
The regular guards and tackles
are still doubtful at this stage of
the game. Self and Brice make a
fine pair of able guards, but the
presence of McFadden and John­son
prevents the certain selection
of the first pair. And who knows
but that Fatty McCully and Ounce
Lovelace might step in and claim
the guard positions for their own
huge selves. At tackle there is al­so
an uncertainty. The great work
of Grisham makes his selection ap­pear
to be a certain thing, but Har-kins,
Sitz, English, Huckeba, are
all putting in strong bids.
Hardboy Pruitt, seasoned veter­an
of three campaigns will more
than likely be seen at one end,
with Spinks, Ollinger, Moulton, and
Market righting it out for the other
wing.
At quarter, Dean Petersen and
Fenie Crane will divide the work,
with Petersen, on account of long­er
experience, getting the edge.
Buckshot Williams, the driver, Pea
Green, of the educated toe, and the
fleet-footed Ed Allefi will more
than likely divide the work at half.
Auburn's famous quartette of cy­clonic
backs, Salter, Turner, Ha-good,
and Reese, will all take turns
In spreading havoc in the oppos­ing
camps.
Besides this wealth of material
at hand there are several promising
men who are ready and anxious
to horn into the line-up, and from
these a dark horse of imposing
proportions may be developed.
Birmingham-Southern will hold
a moral advantage since they are
playing at home, but to our unso
phisticated eye, that about consti­tutes
the sum total of their advan­tages.
They have a much stronger
team than last year, but so have
we, and this statement is made with
all respect to last year's Tigers,
who constituted a bunch of fight­ers
who were never licked, although
a larger score was rolled up against
them a few times. However, the
tigers that represent Auburn this
year have the same fighting spirit,
and added experience, which will
make an ungodly combination to
beat. The dictionary defines "Pan­ther"
as a "fierce feline animal"
but we can't help from believing
that it is going to be a tame and
somewhat clawed-up fekui animal
lhat leaves Munger Bowl after an
hour's session with tne Vuburn
Tiger next Saturday.
Freshmen
Answer Call
Kirk Newell Assembles Cohorts
On Drake Field
All records for the number of
freshman football candidates for
Auburn were broken when 124
Frosh answered the practice call
this week. The number exceeded
all expectations and Coach Newell
and his aids are finding it a prob­lem
to get them all properly equip­ped
for the practice grind.
The array of prep school talent
is perhaps the most promising that
has come to the Plains since the
adoption of the freshman rule and
the Junior Tigers should have one
of the best "Rat" teams in the
South. The high school heroes
hail from Alabama and adjoining
states and among their ranks are
a large number of all-staters and
at least one all-southern prep star.
Lanier High of Montgomery leads
all others with six gridsters among
the list of which five were real
luminaries. Several other schools
have three representatives among
the list. There are very few high
schools in the State that has not at
least one delegate to this "Rat" con­vention
that began its daily sessions
Monday.
With three grid fields at their
disposal the newcomers will be giv­en
plenty of opportunities to show
their ability. Coach Newell is be­ing
assisted by Captain Cushman,
formerly of Tech, Captain Compton
of Vanderbilt and Captain Pick, old
V. P. I. star, all of whom are' mem­bers
of the local R. O. T. C. unit.
Among the Frosh who come with
more or less praise as to their per­formances
in the past and whose
weight and experience make them
likely candidates for the team are;
Proctor, Lawrenceburg Military
Academy; Patterson, Burns, Willis,!
Lutz and Jernigan, Lanier; Tux-|

Spiritual Leader
Dr. Miles Made Auburn Foot­ball
Chaplain
Coach "Boozer" Pitts set a new
precedent when he selected a foot­ball
chaplain for the team of 1924.
It is the first time in the history
of the institution that an Auburn
football teanv has had a chaplain.
He is none other than Mr. "Bobby"
Milps, the doughty Presbyterian
Sky Pilot, one "heluva" preacher
It seems to all to be a wise move
and great results are being expect­ed.
Mr. Miles is popular with the
whole student body and a favorite
with the athletes. He has officiat­ed
at several of our football games,
and has refereed a good many of
the basketball games played on the
local grounds. Mr. Miles graduated
from Davidson, where he partici­pated
in athletics until injured.
Since coming to Auburn he has be­come

at heart and will give his best
efforts, to give the, Tigers the right
spirit in the coming campaign. We
are all proud to have the only foot­ball
Chaplain in the country and
promise to back him in his work
of keeping the Tiger Spirit intact.
With Other Grid­ders
This Season
The Yellow Jackets of Georgia
Tech are getting the final touches
in preparation for the Oglethorpe
game. The Petrels are expected to
give more trouble than usual this
season. -^
While Florida has a couple of
games of the usual early season
type schedule, the Gators are point­ing
especially for the game with
Georgia Tech, which is the fourth
on their list. The boys down the
line say that last year's tie was an
accident and that the result will be
different this time.
The Soldiers from Camp Benning,
who have been worthy opponents
for the Tigers for the past several
years, have been greatly strength­ened
by the arrival of Lieut. George
Smythe, who gave Auburn so much
trouble while playing for West
Point. The Infantrymen are feel­ing
real ambitious this year and
are making a trip to Washington
to meet the Quantice' Marines and
the famous <ioettge, described by
many as the greatest football player
in the game.
Davidson started off the season
right by defeating Elon College 14
to 0. A Davidson team has not met
defeat on her home grounds for
ten years.
Our friends up at Alabama are
hard at work preparing another
eleven ready to make a bid for the
Southern championship. The only
two teams that play both Auburn
and Alabama are the two big Geor-'
gia schools.
Students Club
The Students' Club is offering to
the students of Auburn good,
wholesome food at a very reason­able
rate, Due to the fact that sup­plies
are bought in large quantities
and that the Club is not expected
to make a profit, the student gets
full value from the money spent
for board. After the necessary
overhead expenses that are natural
to such a business are paid, the re­mainder
goes toward putting food
on the table.
It is to the advantage of the
student to eat at the Club as by
so doing he is able to save money
each month and still not deny
himself the good board he wants.
The atmosphere of this dining hall
is very congenial and the service
is good. Everything possible is
done to plehse the boarders and
to serve the meals in the best pos­sible
manner. You can save money,
can get good board and good ser­vice
at less cost than the same can
be obtained at any other place in
town. New boarders are welcom­ed
at all times.

THE PLAINSMAN
My Trip To England
By Leslie Newman, '22
As an Alumnus of Auburn and
having been asked to write a short
account of my visit to England, I
will now give you in a very few
lines, a. smattering idea of the many
experiences this summer. To be­gin
a story of this kind puts me
in mind of a young boy who has
been to a three-ring circus and on
coming home being asked what he
saw. Everyone knows what a
rambling and incoherent story the
young fellow would tell. This is
just about my predicament.
I will now begin my narrative
if such it can be termed. During
the two years I have been in Mobile
I spent many afternoons down at
the wharf watching the sea-going
vessels come in laden with mer­chandise
and also vessels outward
bound taking our products to the
ports of the world. This exchange
of products of one nation with
other nations has always struck my
fancy. Commercial relations is the
surest and quickest way of remov­ing
the stains of war and cement
could be seen. It was then that
beautiful mirages could be seen.
Upon landing, I think every man
went ashore the first night. We
were all anxious to touch terra
l'irma once again, and see the sights
of the metropolis. As a student of
history I spent most of the time
while there, enjoying the historical
sights of this famous old towa.
Among the many places visited
were, Parliament, Cheschire Cheese,
Dickens' Old Curiosity Shop, Na­tional
Museum, British Museum,
Buckingham Palace, Hampton
Court, and the British exhibition
at Wembley. Just a word about
Wembley before passing. This ex­hibition
is one of the greatest if
not the greatest ever fostered by
the British people. To give you
somewhat of an idea about the ex­hibition
I might say that it was on
the order of one of our "fairs" but
of course on a much larger scale,
Each one of the possessions of the
British Isles had a beautiful build­ing
where there was displayed the
products and industries of their
ing the ties of international friend- particular country. Of the many
ship. •'. ; Sp|j
But now coming back to my
story. This past summer I was
signed up in the stewards' depart­ment
on the S. S. Effingham. My
official rating was Mess Boy. My
official title was my official rating
minus the boy, and I dare say I
felt the same way all the 4ime I
was on the boat. One day the
steward called me by "my title"
and not knowing at the time that
it was my "boat name" I failed to
answer. So calling Mess several
times and failing to get a response
he yelled, "Hey you with the shirt
on." Well I knew I had a shirt
on so I looked around and then
and there it dawned upon me that
"my name?"would be Mess while on
this boat. ,
Just a few words about the duty
of a messboy. They are multitud­inous
and comprehensive. In fact,
a messboy is general flunky on a
boat. I had charge of seamen and
petty officers' mess. There were
twenty-one men in-aft. I had to
bring the food for these men from
midship or the galley, a distance
of two hundred and fifty feet. Sev­eral
trips from the galley to aft had'
to be made before the men finished
eating. Besides setting and clear­ing
the tables, I had to wash the
dishes, scour the floors, scrub the
walls, etc. One thing they believe
in, which is very commendable, is
cleanliness. I think they carried
it to the extreme in the case of a
Wiper on the boat. He reported
at meal time one night that the first
assistant engineer tried to get him
to scrub a shadow off the wall. I
did so much "feminine work" that
I wrote home that I would make
some woman a good wife.
We sailed from Mobile on the
twenty-first. We went around the
Peninsula of Florida and skirted
the coast as far as Cape Hatteras
off North Carolina. Then took a
direct route to the English Chan­nel
and steaming up the Thames
River dropped anchor at Surrey
Docks after twenty days at sea. To
an old seaman the trip was an un­eventful
one, but to those of us
aboard who for the first time were
out upon the mighty-deep, it was
full of experience. I can readily
understand why an "old Salt" can­not
stay on land. There is some­thing
compelling, some magnetic
force that gives one a longing to be
out upon the rolling billows once
he has tasted the brine.
Some of the most beautiful scenes
I have ever seen were out in the
mid-Atlantic. Nature seemed at
times to have reached the height
of perfection when she painted her
masterpiece of a sunset at sea. The
glories-depicted there on a watery
sky-line are indescribable. I have
seen the sun rise and set many
times at sea and each time there
was an added beauty that could not
have been had you not had the
peasure of seeing one before. At
times the ocean would become as
placid as a lake. Not a ripple
buildings constructed there for the
exhibition those of Canada and Au­stralia
were the most attractive
and interesting. To take in this
exhibition is almost equivalent to
making a tour of the countries
represented. Millions of people
from all parts of the world are vis­iting
London this year. This ex­hibition
is a great advertisement
for England. She will be reimburs­ed
manifold in trade and friendly
relations the initial cost of this un­dertaking.
England has a delightful climate
with the exception of so much rain
and fog. These tthings make it
very unpleasant at times for sight­seers.
As a race of people I can
say thai Uncle Sam is a much bet­ter
looking man than John Bull.
The English people are very cour­teous
and polite. We Americans
would do well to emulate their ex­amples
along these lines. There
are a great many things in London
that are different from America.
One thing that is very noticeable
to a foreigner is the left-hand traf­fic.
One has to be very careful for
the first few times, when crossing
the streets on account of this rule.
Considering all the differences and
similarities we can safely say that
America is still in the lead.
The English people are very
heavily taxed. For example, most
any article that can be bought for
ten cents here costs one shilling
(twenty-four cents) there. Commo­dities
of higher prices are almost
in the same proportion.
About the royalty: The poor
classes think it is a "useless lux­ury."
The upper classes say, "We
like it, let it be." The royal family
especially the Prince of Wales, is
greatly beloved by the English peo­ple.
I like the American political
system far better than the English.
I was greatly disappointed in
"number 10 Downing Street" the
official home of the British Prime
Minister. It looked more like an
apartment house on a "blind street"
than a mansion commensurate with
a man of his magnitude. One can­not
help but admire the way justice
is dispatched. Crime is reduced to
a minimum on account of the
swiftness and justice of their legal
procedure. For one, rich or poor,
young or old, male or female, to
take the life of his fellowman with­out
provocation means the death
penalty. And ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred the death penalty is
meted.
The educational system of Eng­land
is exceptionally good. The
boys and girls are well grounded
along social, political, historical
and industrial lines. Even little
fellows speak the English language
fluently. They dare not "murder
the King's English." However,
many of the men of the lower
class speak so fast and seemingly
in "such a strain" that one at first
finds it difficult to understand
them. Yesj they drop the "h" as
well as having other peculiarities
\
• *
of tJieir speech. Here is a well
known ludicrous example: The
American (u n g r a m m a t ic ally)
"Where am I at?" The Englishman
(correctively) "No, no, you mean,
where is my 'at?" The class de­marcation
in London is very acute­ly
drawn.
As this article is becoming rath­er
lengthy, I'll have to just barely
touch on other subjects that I
would like to go more in detail
had I the time and space. The so­cial
condition in London is not
altogether perfect (neither is it in
our cities). I think a great deal of
the immortality in this city is due
to the fact that there are about
three million more women than
men, and of course where such
conditions prevail there will be
more vice and crime prevalent than
where the sexes are evenly match­ed.
Then, too, London is a "boozy"
nation. It is an "every day" sight
to see men and women in the same
saloon smoking and drinking, and
occasionally when one becomes
rather "overabundated" with their
"soda-water" you may hear words
uttered akin to a drunkard's ver­nacular.
America has many short
comings and imperfections, but
give me America. If there be among
my audience those of English birth
or affiliation who take exception
at what has been said and can dis­prove
it I will gladly retract my
remarks. This can be said my
dear "brother", if you stay in
America awhile, you cannot help
going back "home" a better Eng­lishman.
I attended services one evening
at St. Paul's Cathedral (the largest
protestant church in the world)
and even there it seemed to me
there was something lacking—the
spirit of fellowship—which is so
enjoyable to us here in the States,
even in our largest churches. This
is due, I think, to the nature of the
people. They aren't very good
"mixers."
Before concluding this article I
want to say something about the
industrial conditions there. There
is still a great deal of unemploy­ment.
The people are willing to
work but there isn't enough pro­ductive
enterprises to give all em­ployment.
However, England is
fast regaining her industrial equi­librium
that she had previous to
the war. I'm glad that under our
new immigration law the quota
from.England has been increased
for they are our kind of people and
are very easily assimilated. A large
amount of American capital is find­ing
its way into English trade
channels. Mr. Ford, I was told,
has a factory at Manchester, and
his "buggies" were very conspicu­ous
on the streets of London.^
It would really take a good sized
volume to write all about the mon­ocles,
knee-breeches, high collars,
shoe pads, high-crowned hats,
walking canes and many other fads
and fancies of the English people.
Yes girls, the lassies in England
bob their "hair too, but they don't
paint, for both men and women
have a very ruddy complexion.
Yes, we have plenty moustaches
over there. I tried to become an
Englishman to that extent. I think
this "misplaced eyebrow" style
was started by baldheaded men.
Not being able to grow any hair
on "top" they tried it "on the
side." I say, old dear, I had a
jolly good time in beastly old Eng­land.
But I must "put the brakes"
on this article forthwith.
After eighteen very pleasant days
we heaved lines and anchor and
with a slight list to the starboard
sailed for the dear old U. S. A. Our
voyage back was as pleasant and
uneventful as the one going over.
Most of the men who signed up for
the experience of a sea-trip were
proud to set foot on American soil
once again. I am sure I can say
that we all came back determined
to be better Americans and to re­spect
our Flag with a greater rev­erence.
We are living in the great­est
country under the canopy of
Heaifen and we should be thankful
to our Creator that we are privi­leged
to enjoy the blessings and
liberties of this Republic.
