The Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society
is a national organization formed for
the purpose of encouraging scholar­ship
and original study among stu­dents.
Seniors who make a high av­erage
on all subjects during the first
three years of their course are eli­gible
if they can meet requirements
of character and individual initiative
as demonstrated by usefulness and
prominence in worthy student activi­ties.
Leadership is given most con­sideration
if the student can pass the
scholarship requirements.
This society corresponds to the
chapters of Phi Beta Kappa which
are placed in the Universities through­out
the country and the chapter here
was established in the year 1914.
According to present plans, initia­tion
of the newly elected members
will take place on Tuesday, December
fifth, and a banquet is also being
planned to follow the initiatory cere­monies.
Officers for the local chapter are:
Dr. John Hodges Goff, president; Dr.
B. R. Showalter, vice-president; Prof.
C. A. Baughman, secretary-treasurer;
and Dr. Paul Irvine, Historian.
NOTICE!
There will be a meeting of the
capella choir in Langdon Hall Tues­day
night at 7:30. Anyone interest­ed
in joining may do so.

SOIL STATION TO
BE LOCATED HERE
Auburn Will Receive $110,000
For Building Of Soils Exper­iment
Station
Alabama Polytechnic Institute will
receive $110,000 of the Public Works
fund, to establish a soils tillage ex­periment
station. This station will
be the only one of its kind in the
United States. Since this is a Fed­eral
project, the Institution only has
to furnish the land. Director M. J.
Funchess, Professor M. L. Nichols
and staff "will cooperate to carry out
the experiments of the station.
Mr. J. W. Randolph and Mr. Reed,
Federal Farm Machinery investiga­tors,
have cooperated with the Ex­periment
Station on this project. The
major points that have brought to
light the need of such a station are;
the high cost of tillage in the black
belt, and the impossibility of the
plows shedding dirt in other sections
of the state. According to statistics
60% of the cost of growing crops
is due to the high cost of tillage.
The experiment station will consist
of eight test plots, separated by con­crete
walls. Soil from all over the
South will be shipped in to fill up
the plots. The plots will be of such
size as to permit the use of ordinary
field implements, and constructed so
that climatic conditions can be effec­tively
controlled. A building to
house scientific and technical equip­ment
will also be constructed. Due
to the concentration of the work in
one place, one man can oversee va­rious
soil experiments that would
ordinarily require eleven stations.

CAKE RACE PLANS
NEAR COMPLETION
SAYS COMMITTEE
Final Preparations Being Made
For Annual Running Of All-
Freshmen Three Mile Race
O. D. K. SPONSORS
Awards For Winners Are List­e
d ; Miss Auburn Asked To
Present Cakes After Race
Final plans are nearing completion
for the sixth running of the annual
All-Freshmen Cake Race said Fred
Chapman, president of the Omega
Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa in a
statement to the press late today. The
local circle of Omicron Delta Kappa,
national honorary leadership and
service fraternity, is sponsoring the
affair according to the usual custom.
Arrangements have been made for
the twenty-five cakes which will be
awarded the first to cross the finish
line and the loving cup which will be
presented the fraternity having low
score on its first four men to finish
has been ordered by the Interfrater-nity
Council. A special committee of
O. D. K. members announced that
Miss Julia Pace, recently elected to
the position of Miss Auburn for the
current term, has accepted their in­vitation
to present the cakes in the
program following the race. An­nouncement
has also been made to
the effect that the winner of the race
will again be awarded his class nu­merals.
The race will be run over the regu­lar
three mile course Tuesday, Decem­ber
12. The starting time has been
set at 4 o'clock from the Freshman
Football Field, and all freshmen are
required to participate in this event.
The entrants are to meet on the field
at 3:30, at which time they will be
given a card bearing their names and
the name of their fraternity. The
first four pledges of one fraternity
to finish will win a silver loving cup
given by the. Interfraternity Council.
Any kind of clothing that will pass
censorship except parts of the mili­tary
uniform, may be worn.
The O. D. K. Cake-Race is one of
the outstanding athletic events on the
campus, and has been an annual af­fair
for the past five years. The
fraternities have been putting their
pledges through various forms of
training in preparation for the event.
Competition is expected to be keen
over the "Fraternity" cup.
Wesley Findley won the race last
year and set a new record of 14:58
for the course, and the Sigma Nus
came in first for the cup with a score
of sixty-one.
WYNNE ALLOWS OPEN
PRACTICE NEXT WEEK
Coach Chet Wynne has announced
that open practice will be held for the
remainder of the football season.
This means that Auburn students
will be permitted to watch the Tigers
go through their sessions on Drake
Field each afternoon in preparation
for the final game of the season with
the University of South Carolina in
Birmingham next Saturday.
Students are asked to stay well
back from the field during practice

Doctor Byron Bruce Of Opelika Discusses
Cancer At Pre-Medical Society Gathering
There are many forms of cancer,
the diagnosis of which depend entire­ly
upon the symptoms, according to
a speech made by Dr. Byron Bruce
of Opelika, at the meeting oi the
Pre-Medical Club Monday night.
Dr. Bruce gave a short history of
cancer. "Cancer is a form of tumor;
if you know it is a cancer, it is no
longer called a tumor. The exact
cause of cancer is not known; how­ever,
the patients are usually lacking
in vitamin A, which promotes growth.
There is no definite mode of preven­tion,
but cancer can be cured if
treatment is begun in time. The
most effective treatment is by x-ray
or radium."
"Cancer, like tuberculosis, is not in­herited;
only the tendency to have
cancer is inherited."
Professor Burkes and his dog "Wags"
was the entertainment feature of the
program.
The Pre-Medical Club is sponsored
by Alpha Epsilon Delta.
The local chapter of the Kappa
Alpha Fraternity will today begin the
celebration commemorating the fifti­eth
anniversary of the founding of
the chapter on the campus. A ban-in
the Eastern Star Hall this evening
will open the week-end program and
a number of visitors are expected to
be present for the,occasion. Imme­diately
after the banquet, alumni and
members will gather for an informal
smoker during which a number of
talks by alumni members are schedul­ed.
At exactly the same hour when the
chapter was installed here fifty years
ago, pledges of the chapter will be
initiated into the fraternity by the
regular initiatory ceremony.
The program will continue on Sat­urday
morning when the alumni and
visitors will be taken on a tour of the
campus' and the city. All of the
points of interest will be pointed out,
and the alumni members will be given
an opportunity to see the changes
which have taken place since their
graduation. On Saturday afternoon,
the members have planned an inform­al
get-together of the alumni, profes­sors
and townspeople at which time
an interesting program will be pre­sented.
This promises to be one of
the most gay events of the entire
celebration, since many of the visitors
have not been back to Auburn for a
number of years.
Activities will be brought to a close
on Saturday night when the local
chapter will entertain with a dance in
the student center in honor of the
visiting alumni. One of the promi­nent
student orchestras has been en­gaged
to play for the occasion, and
appropriate decorations will orna­ment
the ballroom.
Among the prominent guests who
will be present for the affair will be
Bishop Mikell of Atlanta, Georgia.
Bishop Mikell is Knight Commander
of the national fraternity, and the
members of the chapter feel that they
are indeed fortunate in having him
here for the occasion.
The first round of the inter-frater­nity
touch football tournament will
be played sometime before December
9, according to an announcement by
Julian Greer, chairman of the ath­letic
committee, and all men are eli­gible
except those out for freshman
and varsity football. Each fraternity
will be expected to furnish a chain-man,
but the officials will be appoint­ed
by the Interfraternity Council
upon application of the teams prior
to a game.
The same rules that govern colle­giate
football will be observed with
the exception that each team will be
composed of only seven men, all of
whom will be eligible to receive pass­es,
and the touching of any part of
the body of the ball-carrier by a
member of the opposing team will be
considered as a tackle, and the ball
will be declared down at the point at
which he is touched. Any field that
is at least forty yards wide and sev­enty
yards long may be usea as a
playing field. No goal posts are nec­essary
as the extra point may be
made by passes or running plays ex­ecuted
from the three yard line.. A
complete set of rules will be published
in the next issue of the Plainsman.
A bracket-card has been placeu in
the Window of Homer Wright's drug
store, and results of the various
games will be placed on this card im­mediately
after the playing of each
game.
A number of the fraternities have
already begun practice for tHe tour­nament;
and although no advance
dope is available, spectators are as­sured
of seeing several strong teams
in action during the first games.
Among the teams scheduled to meet
in the first round of the tourney are
Phi Kappa Delta and Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Theta Chi and Alpha Psi,
Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Phi,
and Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Phi
Epsilon. Other teams in the upper
bracket are Sigma Nu, Pi Kappa
Phi, Beta Kappa, and Theta Upsilon,
all of whom drew byes.
In the lower bracket Alpha Tau
Omega meets Sigma Pi, and Alpha
Lambda Tau meets Kappa Sigma.
The remaining teams in the lower
bracket, Phi Delta Theta, Alpha
Gamma Rho, Theta Kappa Nu, Phi
Kappa Tau, Sigma Phi Sigma and
Lambda Chi Alpha, all drew non-participation
slips for the initial en­counters.
Because of the necessity for the
form of bracketing used, a large
number of the teams will not play
until the second round, the time for
which has not been made known as
yet. To the winner and runner-up
of the tourney will be given trophies
by the Interfrat Council, and it is
understood that this form of intra­mural
sport will become a permanent
part of the inter-Greek program.

Auhurn-Opelika Community Players Present
Second Play Of Season On December Twelfth
The Auburn-Opelika Players under
the direction of Mr. Charles Floyd,
will present their second performance
of the year entitled The Vulture in
Langdon Hall on the evening of De­cember
twelfth, according to an an­nouncement
made public today. The
play, written by Neil Shaffner, is
clever, snappy, and funny, and high­ly
entertaining in every sense of the
word.
The cast, as selected after recent
tryouts, is composed of Mary Mar­tin,
Clarence Austin, George Mox-ham,
Charles Wade, and Arthur Med-lock,
of Auburn, and Louise Farley,
Nell Ingram, Lillian Meadows, Eliza­beth
Ingram, William Drake, and
Charles Ingram, of Opelika.
Students and townspeople will re­member
the last presentation of the
group, The Brat, which proved such
a great success, and it is understood
that the new performance will be
even more entertaining than the
last one.
By Fred Birdsong
The Tiger aggregation embark­ed
last night thirty strong for
Gainesville, Flroida, where they
will attempt to make Florida sup­porters
as miserable as possible in
the game which will be the fea­ture
of the annual homecoming
celebration. The team travelled
all last night and arrived in the
stronghold of the Saurians early
this morning. They will probably
go through limbering-up exercises
and a slight workout this afternoon
in preparation for their scrap with
the Gators on Florida Field to­morrow.
A bloodthirsty Tiger will invade
Gainesville Saturday in an effort to
make it two straight over the Ga­tors.
This will be the thirteenth en­counter
for the Plainsmen and the
Gators. The Floridians have been
able to win only five games from Au­burn
so far. This game will be Flor­ida's
homecoming game, and so prom­ises
to be doubly interesting.
Auburn enters the Florida game
with a record to uphold. The Tigers
have scored in twenty-one successive
games and will do their utmost to
make it twenty-two.
Florida will be out to avenge a 21-6
defeat at the hands of the men from
the Plains. If the Saurians emerge
victorious Saturday, the games won
by each team in the series will be
practically equal.
The Saurians are expected to fill
the balmy peninsula atmosphere with
forward passes in an endeavor to
stop the onslaught of the heavy fav­orites.
Chase, who has been injured
since the Georgia game is expected
to make life miserable for Auburn's
pass defense Saturday now that he is
again in shape to play. Another in­valid
who is back in the running is
Jack Henderson, halfback, who prior
to his injury in the North Carolina
game was the spearhead of the Gator
offense.
Florida has piled up an imposing
record when able to use her full
strength and the Plainsmen had bet­ter
watch their step.
The Gator defense will have plenty
of worries on its hands Saturday if
Auburn plays as well as they have
all season. The Tigers have lost
three games so far this season, but
all three were to strong opponents
who were playing their best games.
Auburn presents a well balanced of­fense
that strikes lightning-swiftly
and never twice in the same place.
The Tiger line has been opening up
gaping holes in the opposing lines all
peason and a gaping hole to an Au­burn
back is an invitation to a touch­down.
The Plainsmen can offer any­body's
team sixty minutes of first
class worry when they feel like it.
A feature of the homecoming game

SENIOR HOLIDAYS
There is at present in the Tiger Drug
Store a petition awaiting the signatures
of the members of the senior class, asking
that the Executive Council grant the seniors
several extra days holiday during the
Christmas vacation. It is to be hoped that
the Council will see fit to act favorably on
this petition. In the past it has been cus­tomary
not only to give the seniors the
extra Christmas vacation, but also to hold
senior examinations for the second semester
nearly two weeks before the examinations
for underclassmen begin. The college cal­endar
for the year 1933-34, however, pro­vides
that the seniors take their final ex­aminations
at the same time as the under­classmen,
thereby extending the time of
actual class attendance for this year's se­nior
class to nearly two weeks more than
that required of previous classes. The ad­visability
of this step may be questioned,
since it does not allow any time for those
seniors who condition a subject on the first
examination to take a make-up examina­tion.
Nevertheless, the decision has def­initely
been made not to hold early exami­nations
for seniors, and we do not wish to
take issue on the matter. It seems only
fair, however, that the seniors be granted
a few days extra vacation sometime during
the year. As a class, the seniors are com­pelled
to do more intensive and exhaustive
work on their studies than any other class.
An extra vacation would certainly be of
more benefit and enjoyment to them than
to the other classes. Having the example
of previous years to go by, and taking into
consideration the fact that senior privileges
at Auburn are rare, at best, it is to be
hoped that the Executive Council will grant
the class of 1934 the extra Christmas va­cation
as applied for in the petition.
DATES FOR SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
During the last two years and especially
during the few months since the beginning
of the present session, a large amount of
comment and dissention has arisen as a
result of the college rule governing the
sanctioning of dates for social affairs. Ac­cording
to the present condition, if two or­ganizations
wish to have a social function
on the same date, the last to apply for
the date must obtain the permission of .the
group first having the date selected before
college approval will be granted. Like­wise,
if a third group would have a function
on the same date, it must get the approval
of the other two organizations in addition
to that of the college.
This rule has not only inconvenienced a
number of campus societies this year but
also has led to a feeling of ill will toward
some groups who would not submit to hav­ing
another function on the date that they
had reserved. It is quite evident that either
the present rule must be revised or more
dates must be allowed on which social func­tions
may be held.
According to the calendar for the present
year, there are fifty-six dates on which
functions may be held, that it, excluding
the first week-end of school and the time
during examination periods. Of these fif­ty-
six, nine might well be eliminated for
.the nine football games which were played
away from the campus since a large ma­jority
of the students make the trips. This
leaves only forty-seven days which are real­ly
open for social affairs. Now, with twen­ty-
two fraternities averaging two social
functions apiece per year for a total of
forty-four, seven days for the three big
sets of dances, nine or ten days for "A"
Club dances, four sororities averaging two
functions per year for a total of eight,
about four or five Women's Athletic Asso­ciation
Dances, two Agricultural functions,
an Engineer's Ball, an Honor Societies
Ball, a Military Ball, and an Interfraternity
Council Dance all making a grand total of
about eighty social functions per year, it
is not hard to see that quite a problem is
facing the student body and college au­thorities.
Some schools allow fraternities and so­rorities
to have dances during the week,
and should one week day be added to the
week-end dates would be open. ^Even were
this change made, it would still be neces­sary
for several organizations to double up
in order that the average program might
be carried'out.
On the other hand, however, we see no
reason why two or even three organizations
migh not have functions on the same night
as is practiced now, but the power of dic­tating
as to whether or not a group may
have a function on the same night as anoth­er
group already having the date reserved
should be taken away from the latter. It
seems that there is a committee on co­ordination,
a part of the Executive Cabinet,
which is supposed to handle such affairs;
but from all we can gather, the entire
responsibility is left with the Social Di­rector,
who, incidentally, has countless
things to do beside wrangle with fraterni­ties
and organizations over dance dates.
We are of the opinion that the persons
in charge of the larger functions such as
the three sets of dances, the "A" Club
dances, the Interfraternity Council Dance,
the Honor Societies Ball, and the Military
Ball should be required to select tentative
dates at the beginning of each year in order
that no conflicts will arise such as has
recently been the case. If this were done,
the procedure of obtaining permission from
other organizations to have dances on the
same date might be done away with, since
practically all of the smaller groups do
not mind other smaller group functions
on the same date. All of this, however,
should be handled by students either as a
part of the Cabinet or otherwise and only
presented to the Social Director at intervals
for approval. Countless other plans for
the administration of these affairs might
be introduced, and ours are only humble
suggestions for the relief of a situation
which promises to become rather involved
if allowed to continue in its present form.
COOPERATIVE BUYING
With the price of commodities steadily on
the increase and fraternity financial prob­lems
ever becoming more acute, it seems
that cooperative buying is one of the few
solutions to the fraternity financial prob­lem.
A cooperative buying organization
has been inaugurated at a number of insti­tutions
throughout the country and in every
case it has proven highly successful. At
Oregon and Stanford the buying is in the
hands of a group known as the University
Finance Wholesale Commissary which is
run by a board of directors on the campus.
At the University of Pennsylvania it is the
Fraternity Managers Association, and lot
buying by bids is the way purchases are
made. Whatever be the set-up, saving is
the result. Figures available from some
of the colleges show savings to the frater­nities
ranging between ten and twenty per­cent
of the total value of the merchandise
purchased.
Such a saving cannot afford to be over­looked
here in Auburn where approximately
five thousands of dollars are spent by the
fraternities each month on food alone. By
cooperative buying, between five hundred
and a thousand dollars per month could be
saved, or each fraternity could save about
twenty-five to fifty dollars per month, an
amount which is not to be sneezed at under
present conditions. Cooperative buying,
however, does not mean buying out of Au­burn,
especially since the local merchants
are so deserving of fraternity trade.
Last year the matter was discussed in
the Interfraternity Council and some at­tempt
was made to further the idea, but
it was done in an unsystematic manner and
upon a small scale. It might be well for
the council to again take the matter up
and present some well defined plan to the
fraternities which would take care of the
concerted buying of the whole group and
for all commodities needed. Quite natural­ly
there will be some work involved in the
formulation of such a plan, but the council
was organized for the purpose of working
out fraternity problems and this certainly
appears to be one of the largest problems
facing the Greek letter organizations of
today.
CONGRATULATIONS!
To the Seniors who have been elected to
Phi Kappa Phi, we offer our congratula­tions
for having attained highest recogni­tion
in scholastic attainment during three
years.

WHEN a man likes a thing that is
fine and he says nothing about it.
When a man doesn't like a thing
that is not so fine and he raises hell.
Plenty of hell was raised about last Fri­day's
column. One professor wrote the ed­itor
a letter which said in unveiled words
that I had a gallows complexion and should
meet my fate as soon as possible. He
claimed that every thing written last Fri­day
was aimed directly at him, and he said
he didn't appreciate it. As a matter of
fact he was quite a long distance from my
mind at the moment I wrote the column,
but if there is any dirt to be learned about
him I will jolly well learn it. Perhaps he
should have kept quiet.
But what I want to get at: If there are
ANY of you people in this town or student
body who care the least bit for this column,
for heaven's sake write the editor and tell
him so. I have had nothing but adverse
comment al year on my writing. And that
affects the subject matter of this column.
I work rather hard on this stuff, and get
nothing out of it, and try to have some­thing
different and interesting every week,
and almost every week someone writes in
and says he doesn't like the column. So
far as yet there has been no one who has
written in and professed a liking to what
I write. Any every time someone says he
doesn't like a particular thing printed, the
next time I write something like it, the
editor cuts it out because he has had pro­tests
about it.
Last Friday I thought I had something
good when I printed a little scandal of the
town. It had never been printed before
and I did quite a bit of work on it to get
it to read just right and still not slander
anybody. Several professors and ' towns­people
told me they liked it, but it's the
letters to the editor that count, and the
one letter he received from the professor
mentioned in the first part of the column
brought a stop to all other columns on the
same subject. That is why Wednesday's
column was in such a state of failure. I
had written a column much the same as
the one I wrote last Friday and the editor
threw the whole thing out, because of the
one letter he had received fronr the com­plaining
professor.
If there are any of you people who like
this column in the least for heaven's sake
write in and tell the editor, and if you
will be so kind as to do that, please men­tion
what you would most like to be printed
in the column.
As things are there is really nothing
much I can print except Mother Goose
rhymes that will cause no letters of com­plaint
to the editor.

Two girls invited two football players
out/to dinner Tuesday night. A third girl
was invited. She was supposedly of the
shringing violet variety. There was a
frame-up whereby one of the football play­ers
was to suddenly grab and kiss the timid
little girl, and all were to enjoy her blushes
and confusion. The victim was tipped off,
and when the incident came off the football
fooler-around was smeared all over with
lipstick and chased out of the dining room,
blushing like the setting sun; red all the
way down to his shoes. He played a good
game against Georgie, but he didn't know'
what play to call when the co-ed got on to
his signals.

I think the president of the Woman's
Council of the school was given a dirty deal
when she was "called down" in an uptown
cafe by a prominent doctor of the town
about the incident concerning the campus-ing
of three girls and the expulsion of
another.
The doctor had previously been to see
the Dean of Women, and with her called
by the cafe to see the co-ed who is president
of the council. If the girl had been guilty
of the campusing and expulsion there was
still no reason for the doctor to "cuss her
out" before a whole cafe of people. He
would have hardly done a man the same
way.
And as I understand it, the Woman's
Council had no choice in the matter; they
did what the Dean of Women told them to
do, and nothing else. If the doctor who is
championing the campused girls had talked
with the Dean of Women things would have
been better. As it was the Dean of Women
watched on while he took to task the Pres­ident
of the Council, who had nothing what­soever
to do with the,matter.
I, too, think the girls were given a raw
deal, but if anyone wants to raise a howl
about it, go to the right person with your
howling. And that person is the Dean of
Women, and NOT the Woman's Council.

"Dearest Molo,
I understand that you're planning to have a bodyguard. Don't be

Be careful with your Sears chest builder;'you might get muscle-bound and
that would be sad.

him letters instead of postcards in the future and that he have them refrain from
addressing his fan mail to "Colonel Molo" Morrill.

Theodore Roosevelt had his worries try­ing
to keep the women from obtaining the
right to vote. The modern day business
man is worried lest some career-seeking
woman will uster him out of his job and
now the football player is to have his wor­ries
multiplied by the ambitious women.
It is only a matter of time before the wom­en
will be giving the football players a run
for their positions. If you have your
doubts as to the soundness of the previous
statement, read what the Vista prints.

Most women find it difficult to plan three
well-balanced meals a day for an average
family, but Gertrude Thomas, instructor
and director of dietetics at the University
of Minnesota hospital, yesterday outlined
2,300 vitamin-balanced meals for over 700
patients and employees with little trouble.
Miss Thomas has kept a record of the
number and kind of meals she plans each
day, and finds that in the past year she
has planned 755,500 meals for over 50,000
persons, at a total cost of only $75,000.
She orders food supplies according to a
schedule she worked out last year. Twen­ty-
nine percent of each dollar is used for
meat, fish, eggs and cheese, 27 percent for
fruits and vegetables, 19 percent for milk
and cream, 9 percent for butter and oils,
and 16 percent for miscellaneous foods.
Soup, one of the main items on the menus,
is cooked 20 and 50 gallons at a time in
large steam-heated kettles.
The cooks are famous for their puddings,
as they turn out on the average of 51,000
pounds, or more than 25 tons of the dessert
a year.—Minnesota Daily.

"Doctors bury their mistakes; I make
mine into sausage," stated Prof. Brancioni
after he discovered that Louisiana State
University's prize-winning Poland China
sow by mistake was butchered by the meat-cutting
class.
The sow had just been brought back
from Shreveport where she won second
place at the Louisiana State fair. She was
confined in a pen with butcher hogs.
The meat cutting class, noting the su­perior
qualities of the sow, selected her to
butcher. Professor Fransiorii, unaware that
the class was preparing to butcher the
university's best hog, gave the class a lec­ture
on the hog's good points. The sow
was slaughtered and made into sausage.—

When the fairest village of the plains
Heard the saber-tooth tiger's roar—

And the land was loaded with lizards
Way before old Rome had fell.
I wonder if in those good old days
When the football fans were panting
If someone didn't write about

There will be a play in Tuskegee Satur­day
night that strikes me as being one of
the most ingenious as far as subject matter
of any play I remember reading. (This from
a veteran reader of plays of). The origi­nal
of the play was a story, Old Man
Adam and His Chillun. This by Roark
Bradford. Then Marc Connolly (I think it
was Marc) came along and wrote it up into
a play. Of course we can't give much credit
for the thing to Marc Connally (if it was
Marc) for getting the play up because it
wasn't his idea. However, he gets his
name on the programs as author and maybe
comes out to take bows whenever the de­mand
is high enough and leaves poor old
Roak Bradford with very little credit. If
you can imagine the Lawd as a white Boss
who smokes ten cent seegars and the angels
as dusky cherubs who spent their time
giving fish fries, then you have at least
an idea of the spirit of the thing. "Angel
Gabriel is the Lawd's personal servant and
right hand man. The only thing is that
he is impatient to blow his hawn. Little
David and Mrs. Potiphar have quite an
affair commencing with David's avid ob­jection
to open air bathing. The tickets
are all sold out for the play so we can't go
see it, but if you'll check out either the
play "The Green Pastures" or the book
"01' Man Adam and His Chillun" you can
pass away a more profitable and enter­taining
afternoon than if you went to a
movie.

Auburn's Victory Over Georgia Turns Conference Race Into Scramble
ALABAMA NOW RIDING CREST
AS RESULT OF BULLDOG LOSS
SPORTS SCRIBES
PRAISE AUBURN
FOR GREAT WIN
Southern Scribes Laud Plains­men
For Great Victory Over
Georgia Bulldogs
Below is reprinted parts of stories
of three well known sports writers
found in last Sunday's papers:
Stuart X. Stevenson, Montgomery
Advertiser :-
"Masterful in their execution of
plays, led by the will o' the wisp Ca­sey
Kimbrell, and dynamic in their
defense—pointing figurative fingers
especially at Marion Talley, Boots
Chambless, and Will Chrietzberg—
the Plainsmen were masterful here
today. No Auburn team was ever
finer. Surely they couldn't have been.
"No Auburn player can be singled
out as the super star of this hand­some
conquest, but were I to choose
the athletes to be glorified I would
select Mutt Morris, substitute left
tackle, Marion Talley, and Boots
Chambless for their vicious but clean
tackling, Casey Kimbrell for his dar­ing
running, Firpo Phipps for his
passing and running, and the unified,
unexemplified and sacrificial play of
every Auburn men who went into that
game.
"There were a great many features
to this great game which narrowed
the field of unbeaten and untied teams
but one indelible fact stamped on the
minds of that multitude of fans was
the Auburn offense, perfect in every
detail as a result of the guiding ge­nius
of Chet Wynne, the young mas­ter,
who may never forget what his
boys did for him and Auburn this
afternoon.
"Georgia was a trifle cocky and a
trifle weary; Auburn was mentally
at white heat. The best team won by
a country mile."
Ole Timer, of the Atlanta Journal,
ardent Georgia supporter, although
deeply affected at the defeat of the
Bulldogs, payed due tribute to the
victorious Plainsmen in these words:
"Georgia's dream of an unbeaten
and untied season went on the rocks
in beautiful Memorial Stadium when
an Auburn team, inspired perhaps by
desperation to a height of brilliance,
outplayed it from start to finish. The
On Injured List TIGER GROWLS
By B. C. POPE
Florida is waiting for the invasion of Auburn with eager anticiation.
The 'Gators have been pointing for the Tigers and are ready to demonstrate
this before a great Homecoming crowd. Auburn, on the other hand, will
not be in the same condition as when they took the field against Georgia,
neither physically nor mentally. So don't expect too much. Remember,
such a game as the Plainsmen came through with last Saturday does not
come every week, even for the greatest of the great.

Although McCollum has been on
the ailing list for some time with
a pulled muscle, he will probably
see service against the 'Gators.

When the opening whistle sounds
tomorrow down in Gainesville, it will
mark the 13th time that Auburn and
Florida "-have met on the gridiron.
Of the twelve previous games played
between the two institutions, the
Plainsmen have won seven and the
'Gators five.
Athletic relations between Florida
and Auburn began back in 1912, when
the Tigers defeated the 'Gators 27 to
13. From that time until the year
of the world war, the Plainsmen and
'Gators met annually with the for­mer
winning each game.
Auburn did not engage Florida on
the football field again until 1927
when the Alligators won their first
victory over the Tigers by the score
of 33 to 6. This game, incidentally,
marked the first defeat that an Au­burn
team ever suffered on Drake
Field. From then until 1932, when
Auburn won 21-6, the Tigers were
unable to win a single contest from
the 'Gators.
One outstanding feature of the
games played between the two schools
is that a tie game has never resulted.
In the matter of total points scored,
however, Auburn has a distinct ad­vantage.
The Plainsmen have chalk­ed
up 236 points while Florida has
scored 118.
Here are the previous scores of
the Auburn-Florida games:

score was 14 to 6, and it adequately

of the two teams.
"Coach Chester Wynne, who accom­plished
a superb feat in preparing
a disappointed and disillusioned squad
for this critical battle, said after it
was over that Georgia looked worn
down by its hard schedule. It takes
a miracle man and a miracle team to
stay up in a championship race week

MOORE'S MARKET
The recent statement made in this
column concerning a certain sports
writer has been made the subject
of an editorial on "Sportsmanship"
by one of the state's leading dailies.
The editorial goes on to say:
"A college sports writer, disap­pointed
because the sports editor of
a large daily newspaper in Alabama
made comments on the college foot­ball
team which the campus scribe
believed reflected on the ability of
the team, makes this esthetic com­ment
on the big town sports editor:
'He is about as popular here as a
polecat at a wedding. And such pop­ularity
is well deserved.'
"That is a rather harsh way to let
it be known that one disagrees with
a verdict. That is a rather silly way
to argue points of difference.
"The able young man should not
temper his pen. But he should cor-rent
his manner of thinking, and his
vigorous pen will take care of itself.
"Young men are prone to get riled
up about college sports, especially
when somepne does not seem exactly
sympathetic to the home team. All
persons do not see football games
alike, but between the views of a
campus writer and a disinterested
sports editor one would be inclined
to give the disinterested editor the
benefit of the doubt, inasmuch as
the college man at least is entitled
to a wee bit of honest bias. After
all, it is his college and his football
team. One expects him to defend
its good name against all comers.
And one does not blame him for it.
"But when a writer for a college
paper wishes to let it be known that
he does not agree with the views
of a disinterested critic, he should
remember that there are bounds of
what some persons call good taste to
be observed. He does not have to
observe them. Nobody has to be
courteous in controversy or in the
parlor. Usually, though, one prefers
to be courteous. It lends weight to
one's logic."
It is not the policy of this col­umn
to become involved in a con­troversy
with the esteemed editor
of this paper. But inasmuch as
such publicity has been made of
the'.case, I wish to make a few
comments which I feel are due all
concerned.
In the first place, it seems to
me that the editor could have found
many more topics to discuss which
would have been more valuable to
his readers than taking the com­ment
I made and making it the
subject of ridicule. Surely one
has a right to air his views on a
matter which he deems worthy of
comment.
Perhaps the statement I made was
crude and lacked polish. But people
here read and understood it perfectly.
They are familiar with the circum­stances.
The writer of. the editorial was in
no position to criticize a case which
he knew so little about and which'
didn't concern him or his news­paper
in the least. It was not made
in a spirit of poor sportsmanship,
as was implied, nor was it because
the sports writer made comments
which reflected on the ability of
the Auburn football team, as was
stated. I did not make any such
statement, nor do I think my state­ment
could be interpreted as such
with any degree of logic.
I have long held the view that this
certain sports writer has never given
Auburn the support she deserved. It
may have been through no fault of
his; other things may have entered
into the situation of which I am not
aware and over which he has no con­trol.
After the Duke game which
this certain sorts writer covered many

Auburn's 14-6 victory over Georgia
Saturday turned the Southeastern
Conference situation into a mad
scramble. Unbeaten and untied,
Georgia headed the list until Au­burn's
sudden show of power anni­hilated
the Bulldog's chance for the
championship.
Georgia's downfall leaves Alabama
the conference leader. The Crimson
squad which defeated Georgia Tech
12-9 last Saturday will not play this
week, but will rest up to await its
Thanksgiving game with Vanderbilt.
If L. S. U. loses any of its three
remaining games in the conference a
win for Alabama Thanksgiving will
give them the undisputed Southeast­ern
championship.
L. S. U. plays Miss. State in Baton
Rouge. This game should be an easy
win for L. ^S. U. because they defeat­ed
Ole Miss. 31-0 and State is not
nearly as strong as her neighboring
school. A victory over Tulane will
make L. S. U., the runner-up in S.
E. Conference football if they are
able to defeat Miss. State as expect­ed.
Tulane will easily defeat Sewanee
at New Orleans. Kentucky's chances
were ruined Saturday when they were
overwhelmed 34-0 by Tulane.

By Ed Moyer
Coach Wilbur Hutsell, track men­tor,
has announced that six minor
letters have been awarded to members
of the cross country team subject to
approval of the Athletic Association.
The ones honored include Captain-elect
Linwood Funchess, Ed Gault,
Bob Jones, Bill Emery, Carl Pihl, and
Hopson Murfee. Jones and Emery
are winning letters for the first time.
The harriers only had one meet this
year and Funchess nearly tied the
course record when he ran the three
mile course in 15:52. Emmet Mc­Queen
last year set the record for the
distance when he ran it in 15:46 dur­ing
a practice match.
Coach Hutsell expects to have a
good team as the "rats" have been
making fine progress this year, and
he also expects Wesley Findlay, win­ner
of last year's cake race to return
next fall.
To date, no schedule for either the
cross-country team of next year, or
the track and field team of this
spring has been announced.

News:
"The Tiger left no doubt as t o his
superiority, taking the fight to Geor­gia
and dismantling the line from
end to end. One of the most brilliant
of all Auburn victories was made
possible by a line t h a t knifed through
the Bulldogs as deftly as a great sur­geon
runs his scalpel through human
flesh.
"Tackle and end play won for Au­burn.
That is with the brilliant
yardage Casey Kimbrell and Pirpo
Phipps unreeled in cutting back
through the line. Georgia took the
medicine the Bulldogs had given sev­en
opponents. The Athenians couldn't
stop their own weapon of destruction,
a cut-back play inside the guards and
tackles.
"Ripper Williams was the master
quarterback. He called the greatest
game it has ever fallen to the lot of
this traveling commentator to see fall
from the lips of an Auburn field
general.
"He called a perfect game if there
has ever been one called. He kept
Georgia so befuddled trying to guess
when Kimbrell, or Phipps, or Talley
would run of what they would do,
they couldn't think of their own bag
of tricks.
"Kimbrell, Talley and Phipps ran
like they were propelled by aeroplane
motors. They drove when they had
to and they twisted and squirmed
when eelish work was required. And
down in Auburn's gridlore must go

comments were heard on the officia-tion,
or rather, lack of it. It was so
perfectly obvious in my mind and so
glaring t h a t the only man who didn't
see it, or didn't comment on it was
the sports writer in question. All
of this was behind the statement I
made which was interpreted in the
leading daily's editorial as poor
sportsmanship.
Out of justice to the certain sports
writer, I wish to say t h a t he attended
the Auburn-Georgia game, and his
story the morning after was in my
opinion by far the best one of any
of the writers who attended the game.
Since then he has given Auburn sev­eral
nice compliments through his
column. Certainly I do not believe
that my statement of him has any­thing
to do with his changed support.
But I hope that he now sees things
in a different light.
The whole issue has been mis­interpreted.
Too much undue pub­licity
has been given the matter,
which I view as trivial in the least.
I reserve the right to say what
I please so long as it does not
slander anyone, and to express
things as I see them. I do not
think I violated this in what I
wrote.

Here's my last attempt. Let us
hope for the best:
Auburn 14, Florida 7.
Georgia 13, Tech 12.
L. S. U. 19, Miss. State 7.
Tulane 27, Sewanee 0.
Ole Miss 14, Centenary 7.
"Christopher Bean" To
Open. At Tiger Sunday
"Christopher Bean," based on the
play, "The Late Christopher Bean,"
one of New York's outstanding dra­matic
hits, opens Sunday a t the Tiger
Theatre bringing together Marie
Dressier and Lionel Barrymore in
their first appearance as co-stars.
The new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer of­fering
is based on Sidney Howard's
celebrated drama of a woman who
shows a man the road back to honor.
I t was adapted from the French of
Rene Fauchois and was first produc­ed
by Gilbert Miller at the Henry
Miller Theatre in New York, with
Pauline Lord as the star.
Miss Dressier, fresh from triumphs
in "Tugboat Annie" and "Dinner at
Eight," and Barrymore, famous
"Rasputin" and recently seen in "The
Stranger's Return," head a distin­guished
cast which includes Helen
Mack, Beulah Bondi, Russell Hardie,
J e a n Hersholt (in his first picture
since his r e t u r n from Europe), H. B.
Warner, Helen Shipman, George Cou-louris
and Ellen Lowe. Miss Bondi
and Coulouris were members of the
original stage cast.
The uniting of Miss Dressier and
Barrymore recalls t h a t they together
won the awards of the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,
Miss Dressier for her work in "Min
and Bill," and Barrymore for his bril­liant
portrayal in "A Free Soul."
Their new >co-starring picture was
filmed under the direction of Sam
Wood who produced the successful
"Hold Your Man."

Something New Every Day
to the names of Phipps, Williams,
Talley, and Casey—the four winds of
destruction Saturday.
" I n front of Auburn's marvelous
running backs were linesmen of steel
nerves and the strength of Samsons.
Gump Ariail, taped from ankle to hip,
was the torchbearer of the line.' He
played the most magnificent game he
•has played since he entered Auburn.
"McCollum was great at tackle in
the f i r s t half, and when he came back
late in the game, he took up again
the smashing of plays. Mutt Morris,
the only sophomore in the game for
Auburn," gave notice to count him in
next year. He was as fine a tackle
as on the field.
"Boots Chambless, one of the great
guards of the Southeastern Confer­ence,
was a fifth man in the back-field
leading the interference. And
how he led it through center, inside
the guards and outside the tackles.
The marvel of this Auburn attack
was its potency through the Georgia
line. It wasn't thought possible Au­burn
could do so much damage
through the line.
"Bennie Fenton, Will Chrietzberg,
Tiny Holmes, Bing Miller, Mike
Welch, Jack Kemp—don't overlook a
one of these Auburn linesmen. They
brought their backs out in the open
where they could gallop. This was
Auburn's football game.
"Auburn wins no title this year—
but there is more t h a n enough honor
to the Plainsmen in striking down
Tulane and Georgia when it was said
t h a t Auburn didn't have the guns to
take these two football fortresses.
"Wynne, has given Auburn many
fine offenses. Saturday he showed
his wizardry in an attack t h a t gave
the powerful Bulldogs the greatest
afternoon they have known this year.
"Georgia had an offense when they
needed one up until Saturday. They
had none Saturday in Auburn's
cataclysm of blinding trickery."
Mrs. Roy Blackburn of Auburn
passed away at the East Alabama
Hospital Wednesday afternoon after
an illness of only a week.
Funeral services were held Thurs­day
afternoon at Shiloh Baptist
Church with interment in Shiloh
cemetery. Rev. Julius and A. C.
Blackburn were officiating ministers
and pallbearers, were the brothers of
Mrs. Blackburn.
Mrs. Blackburn is survived by her
husband, Roy Blackburn, of Auburn,
an infant daughter, her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. William Jenkins of near
Marvyn, six brothers, and three sis­ters,
Mrs. A. C. Blackburn, Mrs. Tom
Echols, and Mrs. Effie Williams.
