ENTHUSIASM REIGNS
SECOND MASS MEETING
QUARTERBACK OF '98
MAKES TALK
SPIRIT IN FULL SWING
One of the largest and peppiest
mass meetings ever held in the
village was held on Thursday nite
before the great Tiger vs Tiger bat­tle.
The assembly literally shook
the roof of the Alumni Gymna­sium
in their manifestation of loy­alty
to their team. Pep was oozing
from every pore.
With an opponent possessed of
the excellent ability of Glemson as
the main attraction for Home com­ing
day, such display of pep was
much needed. It was also needed
to show that the old spirit was still
alive and behind the team.
Led by the matchless "Bill"
Wood, and his recently elected asr
sistants, Leary, and "Red" Roberts,
the boys (and girls too) gave the
yells with an enthusiasm and fervor
rhiah - *a*—cet"~~hiiherto—beeir
equalled. Perhaps the presence of
two of the most popular men on
the team, Capt. "Fatty" Lawerence
and "Clabber" Williams, inspired
them with their heart-to-heart talk.
"Fatt", who was introduced with
fifteen rahs, made the statement
that if the gang would show the
pep Saturday that they showed that
nite, he was sure that the Clemson
Tiger would go back to bis lair a
very muchly tamed kitty. The
score of the game shows that he
was not exaggerating in his state­ment.
"Clabber" then made a short
talk along the same line as Captain
Lawerence.
"Bill" introduced for the first
time to the Freshmen, Dr. Yar-brough,
one of Auburn's most loyal
supporters. In his speech he stress­ed
the point that the town of Au­burn
was back of the student body,
the administration, and the college
as a whole. He also gave some
good advice as to the conduct of

VETS HOLD FIRST MEETING
The Veterinary Medical Associa­tion

year on Wednesday night, October

officers were installed: H. E.
Galbreath, President; P. D. Ni-caise,
Vice-President; Carlos, Helms,
Secretary; Cecil Johnson, Treasur­er;
B. W. Creel and R. G. Isbell, Vet
Editors of the Alabama Farmer;
and S. O. Benson, Critic.
Dr. F. D. Patterson was present
and made a very interesting talk.
He told the history of the associa­tion
at Auburn, its aims and pur­poses.
He explained to the new
members the importance of the as­sociation
and the benefits to be de­prived
in life, after finishing the
course in Veterinary Medicine. The
M. A. was the first student or­ganization
of its kind in Auburn,
jie membership and attendance
been almost 100 percent ever
ce. All students of the Veterin-

kbership in the association.
HONOR COMMIT­TEE
INSTALLED
At the regular convocation period
for upper-classmen, Thursday, Oc­tober
2,, the Honor Committee for
the term 1924-25 was duly installed.
The members of the committee were
given the oath of office by Dr.
Spright Dowdell. After the install­ation,
the program was placed in
the hands of Mr. Turk, president of
the Student Council, who made
some remarks about the importance
of the Honor System in Auburn. He
then introduced the representative
of the post graduates who pledged
the support of the members of his
class. The representatives- of the
other classes were presented by
their respective presidents and in
turn made impromptu speeches re­garding
the importaace.-of the Hon-r
or Sysfeni a£3~asking the hearty co­operation
of every member of the
student body. The constitution
and by-laws of the Honor System
were then read by Mr. Hale.
It is the duty of this committee
to act upon all evidence against
students for violating the Honor
System and to see that the Honor
System is properly maintained at
Auburn.
The following list shows the
members of the committee with
their class, with the exception of
the Freshman Class which has not
elected its member.
J. L. Reese, Post Graduates.
A. Y. McConnell, Senior.
F. S. Arant, Junior.
J. F. Shamblain, Sophomore.
ALUMNI ENJOY HOME-COMING
The Home-coming last Saturday surpassed any held in re­cent
years when the Village was host to over 300 Alumni. With
the visiting alumni and others who journeyed over to witness
the Tiger-Tiger scrap there were more souls in Auburn than
have ever before been here.
The morning was spent in looking over the school and in­specting
the various additions to the campus. At one o'clock
the Alumni, preceded by the band, repaired to the Students'
Club for the banquet. Short talks were made by many of the
Alumni, notable among whom were Judge Samford and Mr.
Tom Bragg. The assembled Alumni were treated to a speech
by Judge Samford and a talk at length by the redoubtable Mr.
Bragg. . .
The Alumni expressed themselves as being highly pleased
with the progress of the work being carried on on the campus.
Following the banquet they went to Drake Field where they
witnessed* the Tiger subdue its opponent and furthered their
approval by the use of tlieir vocal cords and helped urged the
Tiger on to victory.
MEETING OF A. S. C. E.
The student branch of the A. S.
C. E. held its regular semi-monthly
meeting on October 6 at 7 P. M., in
the Engineering building.
After the president had called
the meeting to order, the minutes
of the previous meeting were read
and adopted. The president next
appointed a Finance Committee,
composed of C. N. Stough, M.
H. Smith, and J. W. Chambers. The
committee on Membership was
urged to see all students, who are
eligible, and to solicit their mem­bership.
Mr. Kendrick gave an interesting
account of his engineering experi­ences
on an irrigation project in
Porto Rica. His talk was supple­mented
with pictures showing the
project in various stages of con­struction.
Mr. Yancey then gave a brief ac­count
of his work during the past
summer, which proved to be very
interesting.
Several new members were re­ceived
in the organization, while
quite a few senior members renew­ed
their membership.
The next meeting will be held at
the same hour on the night of Oct.
20. All civil and highway students
are cordially invited to attend.
A. I. E. E. HOLDS BEST
MEETING OF THE YEAR
The members and visitors of the
local branch of the American In­stitute
of Electrical Engineers were
given a very pleasant surprise at
their meeting on October 1. This
,\J_sujpFist was in the farm of two
dialect recitations, and jokes by
Mrs. Frazier. The first recitation
portrayed the emotions and con­versation
of an old country woman
during her first attendance of the
grand opera. The second was the
monolog of an old negress describ­ing
her numerous husbands. While
the audience were not laughing
loudly they were listening intently.
After this the business of the
branch was transacted. Mr. Coop­er
informed the members that trips
to local points of interest to elec­trical
students could be procured
at the expense of the national In­stitute.
He said that details would
be announced later.
As another part of the program
Mr. Wilder gave an interesting talk
on the Past, Present and Future of
the Radio Station.
The meeting was attended by a
record-breaking crowd.
The student branch meets every
Wednesday evening at 7:00.
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
During the last few days the
three upper classes have elected
their quota of members, for the Vigi­lance
committee. The duty and
number of members from each class
as stated in the constitution is as
follows:
The Student Council shall, with­in
the first month of the scholastic
year, have each of the three upper
classes elect members to serve on
the committee for the enforcement
of Freshman Rules and Regula­tions.
This committee consists, of
three seniors, two juniors, and one
sophomore and has the power to
enforce the observance of these
rules in spirit as well as in letter.
The members elected are:
Senior Class: B. H. Campbell,
Chairman, "Red" Harkins, C. G.
Muse.

Sophomore Class: A. C. Carter.
AG. CLUB HOLDS
INTERESTING MEETING
The regular meeting of the Ag.
Club was held last Thursday even­ing
and a splendid program was en­joyed
by an over-flowing room.
Mr. C. H. Turk was present and
spoke a few encouraging words to'
the Club, stating that "he wisht he
wuz a farmer."
The co-eds were loyal in their
support and contributed the better
half of the program. Miss Bentley's
humorous reading was well render­ed
and—well, they all laughed at
something. Miss Crawley, a rat,
was not supposed to think, so she
gave someone elses reasons, . good
ones, too, of the good work of Home
Demonstration over Alabama.
Miss Powell told why girls come
to college, to Auburn, despite re­ports
that they were not wanted.
She spoke of the knowledge gained
at Auburn which would make a wo­man
a better housewife and an in­telligent
farm manager. She said
that girls do have a good influence
on boys for some of them wear
neckties now and-once did not.
A noteworthy statement made by
Miss Powell was to the effect that
Auburn is the only institution in the
state which turns out acceptable
teachers in Home Economics, one
who is fully recognized as such.
J. C. Jester gave an interesting
talk on the value of a college train­ing
to a boy who plans to stay on
the farm and doubts the wisdom
of going to college. T. P. Lee
spoke on the value of silage as a
dairy feed and proved by his re­marks
that it pays.
CHI OMEGAS
ENTERTAIN AT BRIDGE
i
The Chi Omega's were at home
to a beautiful bridge party Friday
Evening Sept. 27, from eight until
eleven o'clock. The spacious room
was decorated in beautiful baskets
of fall flowers.
Throughout the evening bridge
was enjoyed, then a delicious ice
course with cake was served. Mr.
Ford and Miss Gibbons won the
prize for top score while each guest
of honor was presented with a small
bottle of perfume.
Those present were Misses Proct­or,
Gibbons, Russell," Tamplin, Wil­son,
Blackman, Nesbitt, and Penn;
Messers. Ford, Abbott, McKinney,
Lutz, Luxuortee, Russey, Carter,
Saunders and Burgoine.
COMMANDANT
MAKES APPOINTMEN"
Y.W.C.A CONFER­ENCE
FUK AUbUKN
This week end marks an epoch in
ihe history oi the women students
at Auourn, for a State Y. W. C. A.
Conference is to be held here. It
is really an achievement worth
mentioning for the Auburn Y. W.
C. A. to have this council held oh
the campus.
Now we ask for cooperation 1 If
the meetings are to be a success
and are'to mean anything to the
girls of Auburn, now or in the fu­ture,
there must be a warm wel­come
given our visitors.
If you are interested in the wel­fare
of the Auburn women students,
if you wish to know students from
other colleges, in fact, if you are
a woman student of Auburn, come
down to the little Y. W. C. A. hut
and help make the conference a
success.
The first of the meetings will be
held at the Y. W. C. A. hut on Fri­day
night at eight-thirty. Come'
and see how you like it I This does
not mean Y. W. C. A. cabinet alone,
but all women students who are
interested in the welfare of Au­burn.
The Y. M. C. A. is going to co­operate
with us and help us make
the visitors welcome at Auburn by
helping give a party for them at
Smith Hall on Saturday night. All
women students and all the Friend­ship
Council are cordially invited
to this party, to be held at Smith
Hall after the first show Saturday
night.
Boys, there will be girls from
Woman's College, Judson, Monte-vallo,
and about six other girls'
schools 1
GRADES OF DEFICIENT
STUDENTS WILL BE
REPORTED NEXT WEEK
The college calendar shows
that grades of students are to be
reported to the Registrar by all in­structors
three times during the
first semester, the reporting dates
being as follows: October 18, grades
of deficient students only are re­ported;
November 22, mid-semes­ter
grades are handed in and re­ports
sent to parents and students;
January 22, the grades for the first
semester will be recorded.
The report called for at the end
of next week (October 18) is re­garded
as one of the most impor­tant
during the term, since it will
indicate to the student whether or
not he has been doing his work suc­cessfully
during the first six weeks
of his college residence.
A student is placed on probation
when he passes on fewer than
eleven hours of work. He will re­main
on probation until the next
regular reports are made, when
(1) his probation will be removed
if he passes on eleven or more
credit hours of his work, (2) his
resignation will be requested if he
does not pass at least eleven hours
work.

THE BULLETIN BOARD j
THE CLEMSON GAME
One of the best games ever played on Drake Field was fought
to a finish as Tiger met Tiger last Saturday. It was a game of which
Auburn can feel justly proud. The work of the team was nothing'
less than splendid. The line as well as the backfield caused many
Auburn supporters to test the power of their lungs. Also the cool­ness
and fairness displayed in the game cannot be excelled.
The team was not the only thing that Auburn can feel proud of.
The student body showed that they belonged to the same great insti­tution
that the team did, in their manly conduct on the sidelines.
They not only gave a very verbal support, but they showed their re­spect
for good sportsmanship by a courteous hush when it was need­ed
for either team to hear the signals.
Looking it all over the spirit of real sportsmanship was won­derful.
Let's keep it up and make it permeate every phase of college
life.
RATS PULL MIDNIGHT MASS MEETING
As the rat members of the band, and a few other loyal rats pass­ed
the dormitory, fraternities, and other places of abode, straining
their vocal cords to the last notch, Wednesday night about 12 o'clock,
re rats were seen pouring out with their eyes half closed, shoes
-irtUaced, clothes half on, and other ways. These rats have the real
ilJBURN SPIRIT. They continued to grow in number as they stopped
on each corner giving yells and sending out the call to rats, until
they collected about one hundred.
^'.Where were the other four hun-dred?
8$ It's true that this little band of freshmen made more noise than
the whole Birmingham-Southern congregation did at the game last
Saturday, but it could have bee^ five times as great. Let's go RATSl
Are you going to back that team and your own class? We've got
the best football team we've had in years. Let's make it the best rat
class and show some real AUBURN SPIRIT. Show 'em you're be­hind
them, gang! —A. Rat.
On the tank that rises in the heart of the village, is the numeral
fort the Senior class. This numeral looms up brightly before all Au-buf*
iites as they walk about the campus. It has already caused
many Seniors to "strut" through the main gate thinking of the many
ti^pes that he had wondered if he could ever behold that '25 and call
own.

WILSONIAN MEETING
The Wilsonian Society met last
Tuesday night and ran off another
of its interesting programs. Mr
Staton gave a very comprehensive
speech on LaFollett, mentioning his
real service to the country as well
as his seeming radicalism. LaFol-lelt's
outstanding work is the
moulding of nearly all the dissat­isfied
elements under the one head;
a feat similar to that accomplished
by Premier McDonald in England.
Mr. Johnson gave a talk on his idea
of a Literary Society. The ideas
were excellent but unfortunatly he
admitted that they were not his.
Mr. Francis, accompanied by three
other members who were willing to
take a chance gave one of the best
numbers so far rendered in the So­ciety
this year.

talk on "What Chemistry Has Done

"Rich man, poor man, beggar
man, thief, doctor, lawyer, mer­chant,
chief!" In just which place
would you fit? It's very hard to
tell and careful thought is needed

Perhaps you were intended for

to teach because you don't know
what else to do; perchance news­paper
work is your forte but
you are studying something else
because your family expects you

In any case it is every woman's

VOCATIONS FOR WOMEN
Vocations for women has be­come
a very interesting topic
among the women stude'nts of Au­burn.
This subject is being dis­cussed
in many of the classes as
well as in the Y. W. G. A.
There have been several new
courses introduced in the Home
Economics Department this year.
Home nursing, a two hour "credit
course in home care of the sick,
is one of these. The girls get spe­cial
laboratory work in the Prac­tice
Home along with this course.
Domestic Entomology, which deals
with house and garden insects and
the methods of destroying them,
Domestic engineering, Costume de­sign,
with silhouette, color, and
line, taken into consideration, are
other interesting courses.
Girls at Auburn, although few
in number, are varied in interests.
Auburn has had one woman stu­dent
to finish in electrical engi­neering
and at least one in agri­culture.
Some are taking Home
Economics but specializing in dif­ferent
fields of it; some are taking
secondary education with the idea
of teaching; some are taking art;
some are taking general, but con­centrating
on English, history, or
journalism, whatever the case may
be; three are taking architecture;
and two are taking pharmacy.

WOMEN LAWYERS
VISIT AUBURN
Something very unusual happen-in
Auburn recently. Within less
than two weeks the women students
enjoyed the visits of two women
lawyers*
Mrs. Allison Hildreth, of Hild-reth
& Hildreth law firm, of
Eutaw, Ala., was here a few days
ago putting before the women stu­dents
of the college the idea of a
junior league of women voters.
Last week end Miss Mabel Yerby
of Greensboro, a graduate of Wo­man's
College and of the law school
at the University of Alabama, was
the guest of the Social Director,
Miss Zoe Dobbs. The girls had
only one chance of hearing Miss
Yerby speak but were delighted
with her appearance and her per­sonality.
Yes, Sally, interest shown in the
Conference this week-end will mean
a great deal to the future of the
Auburn girls.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
Y. W. C. A. is on the boom. The
women students are showing inter­est
in the work of the organization
as never before. The first meeting
on the new topic for the year, Vo­cations,
was held on Sunday after­noon.
Each one who was present is be­ginning
to realize the importance
of knowing about what a great
many different things women can
now do. It was decided to take
a census of the women students to
see what most are interested in.
Boxes for this voting will be plac­ed
in convenient places next week.
This new plan of having the girls
work out their own programs, in­stead
of depending on outside
speaker? is proving very interest­ing
and successful.
Out of the cabinet banquet of
last year grew the idea of a cab­inet
luncheon and the first of these
was held at the tea room on Mon­day.
A good representation of the
cabinet was present and enjoyed
the delightful chicken luncheon.
Discussion of the present vocation­al
study and of the conference to
be held in Auburn this week-end
prevailed during the luncheon hour.
CO-ED CIRCUS
The new "rats" of Smith Hall
were given a surprise circus Wed­nesday
evening by the old girls. At
9:30 o'clock each new girl was
calmly and coolly invited into the
Assembly Hall of the dormitory.
What her thoughts were—we can
only guess.
Leila Jordan was manager of the
Zoo Circus. When she drove in,
in her chariot drawn by the two
beautiful ponies, Ellen Blair and
Alice Best, the sad expressions of
the "rats" were changed to ones
of laughter.
The roles of the different girls
were as follows: Ruby Russel, Mon­key;
Lube Gamble, Giraffe; Georgia
Thomas, Toad; Olive Gibbons and
Fannie Igou, Twins; Ruby Powell,
Tiger; Lucia Porter, Rope Walker;
Jennie Igou, Clown;. Agnes Ingram,
Indian Princess; Alma Bentley,
Lion; Annamerle Arant, Bathing
Beauty; Millicent Best, The Vamp;
Alberta Proctor, Photographer; El-ta
Majors, Ticket Seller; Bertha
Aplin, Balloon Seller; Martha Todd,
Fortune Teller; and, Anita Norman,
Gypsy.
After the parade of the animals,
each one did her highly trained
stunt Then, Manager Jordan pre­sented
her wonderful pipe organ
and several delightful solos were
given. Toad Thomas told a very
amusing story of special importance
to freshmen.
Dancing was enjoyed. Delight­ful
refreshments were served and
only one rat was bidden good-night
in the formal way.

DRAMATIC CLUB
TRYOUTS NEXT WEEK
Tryouts for material as actors or
actresses, as the case may be, will
be given in the Attic Theater on
Monday night Oct. 20th. In order
that the judges may get a good idea
of the applicant's ability as an
actor, the following method will be
used: Every applicant is expect­ed
to select some part of a current
or modern play and memorize
enough for about a three minute
performance. It will be much bet­ter
if applicants will cooperate in
tryouts by using the same section
of the same play. If several co­operate
in this way, the time for
these tryouts will be three minutes
per person trying out.
This method should be a great im­provement
over former on* as the
applicant now has the chance of
picking the kind of part that he
thinks himself best suited. The club
is planning a good program of
work for the coming year. All who
are interested can receive a lot of
good training, under the able di­rection
of Prof. Jones, in acting,
costume designing, lighting effects,
scenery, etc., by applying for mem­bership
in the club. One must
show a marked interest in some
kind of dramatics before they are
admitted, however.

nearly caught a Tartar when Wil­liam

Washington and Jefferson also
found Bethany cruelly tough, the
final result being 19 to 13, not 69
to 73, as reported in the excellent
Birmingham Age-Herald.
We are grateful to be reminded
by the Atlanta Journal of our "usu­al
lack of offensive." True, our
scores have been light this year,
but the opposing scores have been
so seldom that they haven't been at
all. When the others don't score
anything, not many touchdowns
are required.
After a rather lean cannibal feast

With over five thousand support­ers
shouting their approval, the Au­burn
Tigers downed their visitors
from Clemson by the score of 13"
to 0. Hundreds of alumni, back to
visit their old haunts again, were
shown that this year's Tiger is just
as game and just as strong as ever.
The honors of the day must go to
Buckshot Williams, who not only
scored every point for Auburn, but
who also put up a great game on
defense. Sharing the limelight with
Williams is Dutch Salter, whose
furious plunges carried the ball
down within striking distance of
the goal. Dean Petersen handled
the team in great style, always
knowing just what play to call at
the right time. Pea Green's punt­ing
left nothing to be desired, while
the others who took part in the
game in the backfield all showed
up well.
On the line, Grisham, Sitz, and
Lawrence were towers of strength,
discouraging any attempt of the
opposing backs to crash through
the first line defense. The ends
held the fast backs in check, while
Minnie Brice was a shining light
at guard. The fact that Clemson
earned only three first downs goes
to show the efficiency of the whole
front rank.
For the visitors, Robinson and
Harmon were, as expected, the big
stars. These two speed merchants
did most of the gaining for Clem­son,
while Robinson did some fine
punting. The Clemson line put up a
good exhibition, the ends, Finklea
and Roy, being especially good.
Jackson also showed up well. The
entire Clemson team put up a gal­lant
and courageous battle, and
went down fighting to the end,
showing that their name of Tigers
was well earned.
Williams started the game by
booting the ball to Clemson's 5
yard line, Harmon returning 15
yards. The two teams each had
the ball for a couple of times in
the center of the field without be­ing
able to do' much. Clemson
showed a flash of offensive power
when their backs carried the ball
11 yards in 3 successive downs. Au­burn
tightened up at this point and
the ball changed hands twice more.
The Tigers got the ball on Clemson's
45 yard line and Greene and Tur­ner
carried it for a first down.
Turner was slightly hurt and Salter
went in. Salter carried the pig­skin
four successive times, and fail­ed
to make a first down by a mat­ter
of inches. After this the ball
again passed backward and for­ward,
both sides fighting bitterly.
Just as the quarter ended Salter
made a first down in three tries,
the ball being on CTemson's 25
yard line. ,
During the first part of the sec­ond
period Greene and Robinson
exchanged punts, neither one hav­ing
a decided advantage. To relieve
the monotony, Auburn made a first
down on Clemson's 40 yard line,
but were unable to get any further.
Williams narrowly missed a place­ment
kick for goal, the ball going
to Clemson on her own 20 yard
line. A combination of two gains
over the line, a long punt and two
(Continued on Page 6)
in these days of exact sciences,
statistics, and other vices, almost
everything has been reduced to a
scientific basis. The trajectory of
a pitcher's curve is now easily
traced, the track man can be in­formed
of the benavior of his heart,
and every achievement on fields of
athletic endeavor can be explained
by the herr professors. Therefore,
it is surprising that the football
team is not referred to some scien­tific
prototype, for it is surely Mid
Victorian to speak of a team of
gridiron warriors as merely a
bunch of fighting men. They should
be designated by some more digni­fied
term, in Latin, if possible.
Once upon a time, in days gone
by, ye editor aroused himself suf­ficiently
from his Sophomore Phys­ics
siesta to hear about some elec­tron
theories as propounded by
Messrs. Bohr, Lewis, Langmuir,
and others. The main drift of these
theories seemed to be that every
molecule has its atoms, every atom
has its nucleus, and every nucleus
has its electrons working with the
nucleus and supplying energy for
necessary purposes.
Taking the Auburn Tigers for ex­ample,
the team might be referred
to as a very active molecule, com­posed
of two atoms, the Backfield
Atom and the Line Atom. Captain
Fatty Lawrence may be spoken of
as the Line Atom Nucleus, if he
doesn't take offense, and about him
are grouped several electrons, vul­garly
known as guards and tackles,
who supply the necessary eneigy
toward removing all opposing
molecules. The Backfield . Atom
has Dean Petersen for a nucleus,
with some powerful electrons op­erating
in conjunction with him.
These electrons are known to the
rabble as Salter, Turner, Williams,
etc., and have been known to do a
great deal of damage when hurled |

The Tigers, fresh from their vic­tory
over the Clemson bunch, will
leave their lair on the Plains, and
repair to the banks of the River
James where they will have their
first meeting with the Gobblers of
V. P. I. The Virginia Techsters,
from their place of security in the
hills, are making defiant statements
regarding Southern Championships
and such matters. Therefore, it be­hooves
the Tigers to show the F. F.
V.'s that the S. I. C. championship
belongs elsewhere.
Nobody was badly hurt in the
Clemson match, and it looks like
all the regulars will get to make
the trip. A great many will prob­ably
get a chance to take part, as
V. P. I. has a heavy team, and one
that is likely to cause trouble. They
are given credit for a 189 pound
bunch, and if this is the case it
looks like a warm session for the
Tigers. ^
Neither team has been scored on
yet, V. P. I. taking University of
Richmond and Hampden-Sydney •
into camp by scores of 33 to 0, and
10 to 0 respectively. "Although they
have scored 43 points to Auburn's
20, the opposition given them was
hardly as strong as offered to Au­burn
by the bowl-dedicating Pan­thers
and the clawing, fighting
Clemson Tigers. The Gobblers will
have one advantage in -I
game will be played in their home
state, although some distance from
their school.
It looks like an extremely close
battle, with one touchdown likely
to be the deciding factor. Auburn's
splendid defense will prevent any
large score run up by the Gob­blers,
and the big question now is,
will the Gobblers' defense be able
to stop Salter, Turner, Williams,
and other pile-drivers? We don't
like to make any rash predictions,
but if Williams feels like he did
Saturday, and if the Tigers get any­where
near the 50 yard line, there
will be at least 3 points scored for
the Plainsmen. |

penalties put the ball on Auburn's
10 yard line. Pea Green punted
out of bounds on the 40 yard line.
By a series of short plunges, Clem-son
carried the ball to Auburn's
21 yard line and things began to
look delicate, but the Tiger line
stiffened and the ball went over.
An exchange of punts took the pig­skin
down to the other end of the
field. Robinson punted to Peter­sen
and Dean signalled a fair catch
on the 50 yard line. Buckshot Wil­liams
then electrified the crowd by
booting the ball 50 yards for a
field goal, and the half ended short­ly
afterward with the score 3 to 0.
The second half began with nei­ther
side showing decided advan­tage,
the ball lingering around the
50 yard mark. After the pigskin
had changed hands a time or twoi
Williams again set the crowd wild
by sticking the ball between the up­rights
for another goal, this time
from the 45 yard line. At this
juncture Qeroson got busy and put
the ball down near the Tiger goal.
Here Auburn suffered another one
of her many penalties and things
began to look dark, especially when
B. Williams intercepted a pass on
Auburn's 35 yard line. However,
after running a step or two he
dropped the ball and Fats Lawrence
was on top like a flash. After this
neither side gained much and the
ball was resting around mid-field
when the whistle blew.
Clemson showed her last flash
in the beginning of the last quarter
and was advancing toward the Tig­er
goal again when Pea Green in­tercepted
a pass on Auburn's 25
yard line and returned 10 yards.
Then came the mighty Auburn
Drive which carried the ball 65
yards for a touchdown. The Clem­son
backs, fighting furiously, were
unable to stem the mighty wave,
and the Tigers made five success­ive
first downs, Salter and Williams
carrying tUe nail most of the way,
witn Greene and Petersen assisting
with a couple of well executed end
runs. Williams kicked goal after
touchdown, and after this the game
was practically over. Clemson made
a determined effort to score but
tnat was not on the Tiger program,
and the game ended with the Au-ourn
goal line still intact for this
season.

Ine Aunurn inoiecme has proven
itself strong this year, anu it is to
oe hoped tnat its strengtn will ne
retained, as there are some very
large and disagreeable moiecules in
Aunurn's patn this fall. Ine two
nuclei have been everything that
good nuclei should be, and the sup­porting
electrons have proved too
active for the comfort of all pre­vious
opposition.
As we are making rapid strides
toward a purely scientific country,
and as -old-fashioned terms and be­liefs
regarding the world and its
people are being cast aside, it will
not be surprising to hear some va­riation
in the college yells of the
future. Instead of pleading to
"hit that line harder," in the fu­ture,
the football fanatic will un­doubtedly
cry out "Radiate more,
Radiate more"; and the players in­stead
of being dubbed Hardboy
and Rough Ed, etc., will be called
Electron Ed, Proton Pete, and oth­er
names indicative of their vari­ous
abilities. When all this comes
about, the scientific Utopia will
have arrived, and perpetrators of
articles like this, instead of being
jeered and hooted, will be given
honorary degrees of Doctors of
Science, Philosophy, and what not.

Auburn men. This was good and
made a lasting impression on many,
especially "Rats."
During Dr. Yarbrough's speech,
"Bill' espied Dr. Dowell, sitting in
a corner trying to be a listener for
one time. The cheer _leader_was
so cruel as to luring him forward
and havejjim make a talk. He gave
one of the best talks that has ever
been given before such an assem­bly.
Calling attention to Auburn's
past record and its future pros­pects,
he voiced his belief that we
have one of the strongest and best
trained teams that has been turned
out here. The talk was received by
the student body with much enthu­siasm.
The next man on deck was Mr.
Bush, star quarter-back on the
squad of '98. He was greeted by
a rousing and tumultuous cheer. Mr.
Bush declared that if the Auburn
team could not receive the fight
from the traditions and fame,
which Auburn claims on account of
her good sports, manliness, school
spirit, and teamwork, then the team
would never receive the inspira­tion.
He sincerely said that he was
proud to be able to say that Au­burn
teams were inspired with
that enthusiasm and that the score
could pronounce them defeated but
they could never be licked.
After this inspirational meeting,
the throng, composed to a great
extent of the loyal "Rats", went up
town and staged a big parade. With
the aid of the band they succeeded
in making enough noise to wake
up the town. A big war dance was
staged around the bonfire, which
was built in the middle of town.
About 10:30 the meeting disbanded
after word had been passed around
that all "Rats" were to meet in
front of Toomer's corner at 11:30.
This meeting was called to show
conclusively that the old Auburn
Spirit wa* as much alive as ever.
Promptly at 11:30 the band, un­der
the leadership of drum major
Russey, led a parade of about 250
"Rats" and upper classmen through
all parts of Auburn.
It is to be sincerely hoped that
future mass meetings will show the
pep and ginger that this one did.
If this is done the Auburn Tiger
will be crowned the undisputed
Champions of the South.--.JThe mass
meeting at least conclusively show­ed
that the student body have the
capacity to push that big gang on to
victory.
