Spring Homecoming Be Held March Twenty-Eighth
OMICRONDETA KAPPA AND
A CLUB JOINT SPONSORS OF
GALA SPRING CELEBRATION
Most Outstanding Program Of
Recent Years To Be Offered
For Old Graduates
PROGRAM OUTLINED
Track Meet, Polo Game, Base­ball
Game, And A Club
Dance Are Main Events
The most outstanding program of
attractions to be offered on this cam­pus
in recent years has been arranged
for Wednesday, March 28, which has
been designated as "A" day. Will
Chrietzburg, president of the "A"
club, has announced that the organi­zation
has been at work for the past
few weeks in making up the varied
program of activities for this day.
Omicron Delta Kappa is cooperat­ing
with the athletic group in stag­ing
the different features. This hon­or
societies part in the festivities will
be that of popularizing the occasion
and acting as a contact group in
Bringing a large crowd here to enjoy
the day. Fred Chapman, president
of Omega Circle of O. D. K., is send
ing out letters to prospective students
in an effort to get them here and give
them some idea of campus life at Au­burn.
The tentative program, as announc­ed
by Chrietzburg, calls for the an­nual
Interfraternity Track Meet to
begin the festivities at nine-thirty in
the morning. These events will take
place on Drake field and awards will
be given the winners. Coach Wilbur
Hutsell will be in charge of the meet.
A polo game will probably be sched­uled
and come second on the list. It
is understood that a game with one
of the outstanding mallet teams of
this section will be arranged and will
begin about one o'clock.
A baseball game between Auburn
and the Chattanooga Lookouts, of the
Southern League, will headline the
program. This fray will pry the lid
off the Tigers diamond schedule for
this season and will be the first
played under recently appointed base­ball
coach Herschel Bobo. Since fans
are anxious to see what kind of team
will represent the school on the dia­mond
this season under Bobo, and he
is a former member of the Lookouts
squad, a large crowd is expected to
witness the contest.
The festivities will be concluded
with an "A" club dance in Alumni
Gymnasium beginning at nine-thirty
that night. This is expected to be one
of the best dances the group has ever
staged since such a large number of
out-of-town guests will be in attend­ance,
and either Bill Nappi and his
orchestra or "Dunk" Rendleman and
his band, both of Birmingham, will
furnish the the music for the affair.
MAYOR ISSUES DECREE
TO AUBURN CITIZENRY
Mayor W. D. Copeland, of Auburn,
has issued a proclamation urging citi­zens
to cooperate with the local Busi­ness
and Professional Women's Club
in observing National Business Wom­en's
Week, March 11 to 17.
The proclamation follows:
"WHEREAS: The Business and
Professional Women's Club of Au­burn,
Alabama, along with 1,500 other
clubs in the United States, will par­ticipate
in the seventh annual observ­ance
of National Business Women's
Week, March 11-17, 1934, and

celebration sponsored by the Na­tional
Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs, repre-

New Baseball Coach
Has Enviable Record
The baseball career of Herschel
Bobo, the new baseball coach at Au­burn,
began when he entered Missis­sippi
State College in 1914. While
there he was a star shortstop and
third baseman until he graduated in
1918.
After serving two years in the Ar­my,
from 1918 to 1920, he coached
football and baseball at the Univer­sity
of Mississippi. He remained in
this position for one year, resigning
to play professional baseball. During
the next three years Coach Bobo
played third base with three clubs of
the Cotton States League, coaching
the high school teams of these cities
during the winter season. In 1923
he became head coach at Mississippi
State Teachers' College at Hatties-burg
and was player-manager of the
Hattiesburg Cotton States club while
there. During his six years' stay at
Hattiesburg he annexed four pen­nants.
. In 1929 he became player-manager
of the Jackson, Mississippi
club of the Cotton States. He played
with Jackson until the League broke
up in 1932. He played third base
with the Memphis club of the South­ern
Association during that year.
During his four years in Jackson he
managed the club successfully to win
two more penants.
Coach Bobo has coached football,
basketball and baseball teams since
1920, turning out good teams. He was
captain of the football team while at
Mississippi State.
Bobo's contract with Auburn was
signed for one year. The terms
could not be ascertained. He has
been steadily at work this week get­ting
his team in shape for the sea­son's
schedule. Most of last year's
team is back, although lack of offen­sive
strength is the biggest weakness
of the club.

FINALS OF TOURNAMENT
The Pi Kappa Alphas advanced to
the finals of the Interfraternity Bas­ketball
Tournament by virtue of two
wins this week, one from the Lambda
Chi Alphas, 33-16, and the other from
the Sigma Alpha Epsilons, 21-14. The
Sigma Nus advanced to the semi-fi­nals,
decisively defeating the Alpha
Tau Omegas, 28-8.
Bruce McGehee, playing his first
game in the tournament for the Sig­ma
Nus, hit the basket for 10 points
in addition to covering the floor ex­ceptionally
well. Bill Turk continued
his excellent offensive play with 8
points, with Bill Breazelle getting 6.
Flake Farley scored half of the A. T.
O. points with four markers. As the
score indicates, the Sigma Nus had
everything well in hand from the
opening whistle until the end of the
game. The A. T. O.'s scored 6 of
their points in the first quarter, and
the other 2 in the second. As a re­sult
of this win, the Sigma Nus will
play the Delta Sigma Phis in the
semi-finals. The Delta Sigs have one
of the best teams in the tourney and
this game is expected to be extremely
close.
Pi Kappa Alpha won its first game
of the week as it swamped Lambda
Chi Alpha 33-16, Tuesday night. Fred
Black was the outstanding offensive
star of the game, as he rang up 14
points for the Pi K. A.'s, while Joe
Bob Mitchell also counted heavily.

The members of the Interfraternity
Council will be hosts at a Ball giyen
in the Alumni Gymnasium beginning
at nine-thirty tonight. The dance is
to be a formal affair.
Two hundred young ladies have re­ceived
bids for this dance, and, ac­cording
to reports, a large number
have accepted. Also ten bids have
been given each fraternity for dis­tribution
among its members.
Miss Susie Fletcher, of Birming­ham,
will lead the Grand March which
is scheduled to begin at eleven-twenty,
with Fred Chalmers, president of the
Council. Only members of the Or­ganization
may participate in this
feature event.
The program, as outlined now, calls
for the first no-break at ten-thirty,
and this reserve dance is open to non-members
as well as members of the
council. One half hour later the
council members will have a lead-out,
and at eleven-twenty the Grand March
will begin. There will be a thirty-minute
intermission immediately fol­lowing.
At twelve-thirty there will
be a second no-break, which will be
followed at one o'clock by the second
Interfraternity Council lead-out.
Robert Rutland, an architectural
student, has been awarded the con­tract
for the decorations. He has
planned some attractive, as well as
appropriate scenes, depicting the "per­ils
which a neophyte must undergo in
a fraternity initiation." The scenes
show the horrors confronted by a fra­ternity
initiate when he is taking his
degrees to become a member. Paint­ed
skeletons will guard each entrance
to the dance floor, while the wains­coting
will be adorned with skulls and
cross-bones.
The music for the occasion will be
furnished by the Auburn Knights un­der
the direction of Jimmie Vance.
Due to the fact that the Knights have
purchased many new selections, the
music will be composed of popular
"hits."
Besides the Interfraternity Ball,
there are to be quite a few other at­tractions
for the out-of-town visitors.
Tomorrow afternoon at two-thirty the
polo team is to play the Ramblers, a
group composed of local army offi­cers,
and at three o'clock there will
be a regulation football game between
Coach Meagher's "Oranges" and
"Blues." In the evening the Pi Kap
pa Alphas, Phi Delta Thetas and the
Phi Omega Pis will give dances in
honor of the visiting young ladies.

CHEMICAL SOCIETY TO
MEET MONDAY IN ROSS
The Chemical Society will meet
Monday night, March 12, at 7:00
o'clock, in Ross 212. Prof. A. F.
Nickel, of the Pharmacy Department,
will speak. All interested students
are, invited.
The polo team will have its first
match of the season when an exhibi­tion
match is played on Bullard Field
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p. m.
Their opponents will be a team, the
Ramblers, composed of Major Franke,
Capt. Metts, Lt. Phelps, and Capt.
Gunby, local R. O. T. C. officers.
The Varsity has had two scrim­mages
lately and in the last one they
displayed a great deal of promise.
Though not up to their mid-season
form, they are expected to present
plenty of competition for the Ramb­lers.
The players who will start the
game for the Varsity are: W. O. and
Oel Johnson, Justin Morrill, Bob Fin-cher,
and Jim Suydam. Calvin Black,
Paul Duke, Chas. Franklin, A. N. Al-dredge
and Bill Dexter will serve as
capable reserves.
Capt. Gunby, who coaches the Var­sity,
explains in some length the rules
and regulations governing the game.
He said: "There is some questioning
as to the use of the handicap in polo.
Where the handicap is used each
player is given a handicap according
to his ability, as decided on by a com­mittee
of more experienced players.
The Team handicap is the sum of the
handicaps of the individual members.
The team with the lower handicap is
given the number of points difference
between the two handicaps at the start
of the game. The members of the
Ramblers when last playing regularly
totaled a handicap of six goals. None

Information reecived by the local
Phi Kappa Delta last week from na­tional
officers of Sigma Chi assured
the local group that their petition
for membership in the national fra­ternity
had been accepted. Since
that time officers of the local group
and Sigma Chi have been busy in ar­ranging
a program for the installa­tion,
and Hugh Cottle, president of
the successful petitioners, has an­nounced
that the installation ceremo­nies
will take place Friday and Sat­urday,
March 22 and 23.
Activities for the week-end will be­gin
Friday afternoon when installing
officers of Sigma Chi will give an
examination to Phi Delta Members.
That night the active undergraduate
members of the local will be initiated.
Alumni members of the society will
be initiated sometime Saturday and
the festivities will terminate with a
formal banquet about six-thirty.
About thirty alumni members and six­teen
undergraduate members of Phi
Kappa Delta will be members of Sig­ma
Chi after the ceremonies are over.
The remaining students who are af­filiated
with the local will be pledged
to the national.
Approximately 200 members of Sig­ma
Chi from throughout the nation
will be in attendance at the installa­tion.
According to word received by
Cottle, .large representations from the
Alabama, L. S. U., Georgia Tech,
Georgia, and other chapters will be
here.
Among the prominent alumni of the
fraternity who will be in Auburn to
take part in the installation are:
Hamilton Douglas, Jr., of Atlanta,
Grand Consul of Sigma Chi; Thomas
McClellan, Praetor of the Southern
District of the fraternity; Robert
Garrison, of Birmingham, and Dr.
George Denny, president of Univer­sity
of Alabama.
Phi Kappa Delta was founded as
the eleventh social fraternity on the
Auburn campus October 12, 1919, by
nine members of the class of '20 and
two, members of the class of '21.
These men formed the local with the
idea of going Sigma Chi in the future.
To date the chapter roll lists the
names of 128 alumni members and 22
undergraduates. The chapter was
placed on the preferred list of Sigma
Chi by the Grand Chapter last June
and the formal petition was presented
last November.
Phi Kappa Delta's chief objective
was reached mainly through the un­tiring
work of the active chapter and
several alumni, among which are:
Fred Almgreen, president of the Bir­mingham
alumni chapter of Phi Kap­pa
Delta; J. R. Gardner, of Birming­ham;
Bill Kyser, of Jacksonville, Fla.,
and Ted Phillips and Tom Jones, both
of Birmingham.
The Auburn chapter of Sigma Chi
will mark the entrance to the campus
of the twenty-second national frater­nity.
After the installation of the lo­cal
group, all chapters of social fra­ternities
on this campus will be na­tional.
NOTICE!
There will be a meeting of the Gli­der
Club next Tuesday night at 7
p. m., in room 109 Ramsey Hall.

WELCOME! D. A. R.
We would like to take this opportunity
to welcome to Auburn the delegates to the
State Convention of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. We feel that Au­burn
is duly honored by the presence of the
members of the organization, and hope that
the hospitality for which the loveliest vil­lage
has become famous will again be ex­emplified.
The Daughters of the American Revolu­tion
is one of the oldest and most aristo­cratic
organizations in existence in this
country; and the fine work which is ac­complished
by it is ever indicative of the
true spirit of our forebears in whose honor
and to whose memory the nationwide group
was formed.
To all the visitors; the students, members
of the faculty, and townspeople extend a
most cordial welcome with best wishes for
success and pleasure in the coming con­clave.
CABINET ELECTIONS
Highest commendations are due the mem­bers
of the Executive Cabinet and the mem­bers
of the Elections Committe for the ef­ficient
manner in which the recent election
was handled. We feel that the past elec­tion
was as close to perfection insofar as
system and fair dealing are concerned as
is possible; and that for the first time in a
number of years, both candidates and stu­dents
feel that the election was carried out
in the strictest integrity.
The qualified voters were listed at the
polls and each voter was required to check
his name off before receiving a ballot on
which to vote. A sizeable staff was pres­ent
at the polls at all times to aid the vo­ters
and to see that the rules governing
the election were carried out to the letter.
Watchers were allowed candidates both at
the polls and during the counting in order
that every minor detail might be checked,
and all counters and watchers were held
at the counting room until after the elec­tions
edition of the Plainsman was pub­lished,
thus insuring an equal chance to
all new members in the following election
of officers.
We feel that a great step has been taken
toward conducting student elections in the
proper manner and that the same procedure
should be followed in all future elections.
THE EVILS OF STEALING
There is entirely too much stealing in
Auburn. The minimum amount of it is
too much, and a substantial amount is be­ing
done, according to authoritative re­ports.
•
Most of it is petty stealing, including
electric light bulbs, electric fixtures, books,
and many other little articles which lend
themselves to the hands of petty thiefs.
Recently the radio—which was bought by
all the students for use by all the students
in the Recreation room in Langdon Hall—
was stolen.
The Plainsman makes no charge as to
who is guilty because we have no specific
evidence. We do know that stealing of any
kind is exceedingly bad for the person who
steals and for the individual or institution
losing the property. No one can steal and
maintain self-respect. ' Even the smallest
stealing causes the person who engages in
it to lose self-respect. Maintenance of self-respect,
therefore, precludes stealing.
The administration of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute is spending considerable

AFTER scanning the lists of eligible
candidates for the various student
offices, we can truthfully say:
Phooey!
* * * •
Methinks the African is again in the ash
can, and his brother Ethiopian is in the
Elderwoods. In the first place take the
candidates for Senior Class president.
There ain't a one of them who could dress
up in a $125 Sunday suit and look nice in
it. What we want is a hidalgo who would
look good in home-spun.
And the Glomerata candidates: There
undoubtedly is not even one of the pre­tenders
who could put- out a book that
would approach the scanty pulchritude of
the ladies lingerie section in Sears-Roe­buck's
semi-annual. And Sears-Roebuck is
timorous compared to such as is put out by
Montgomery Ward and Bellas Hess.
* * * *
We think a man should be nominated for
the Editor of the Glomerata who would be
progressive. You know, away back when
the first year book came out, the editor of
that particular book decided he would have
the thing a certain way. He did, and it
has been that way since. Ledbetter has
about the same make-up this year as the
first editor had. Of course, there are a
few changes, but the same old style re­mains.
It seems the first editor decreed
that there should be a sport section, a mili­tary
section, a brass key section, a couple
of gal's mugs, and the rogue's gallery line­up
of the various classes.
Since then we have had to contend with
what some back-woods ape did on the ath­letic
field, who are the big dawgs on the
drill field, who's got the most keys, what
fools paid $25 to have the home-spun maps
of their gals in the damn book, and have
had to look at the homely faces of the va­rious
classes . . . as if we didn't get
enough of that every day.

About four years ago, I hear, there was
a Glomerata put out that contained a bur­lesque

and was declared the best out. Why not
try the same with pictures this time? With
a bit of trick work on the make-up and
photography.

I would like to see how the Dean of

How Helen Franke would look sail-boat­ing

How the Dean of Engineering would look
roller-skating with the Dean of Home Eco­nomics.
Nice, I'll bet.
How the Librarian would look as mascot

How the Commandant would look as
house mother for the Chi O's.

Have a page devoted to the names of the
cigarette bummers. With the King of the
Bummers on one side and the Queen on
the other. Not forgetting patricides, dog
beaters, and polo players; we think the in­dividual
who accepts a cigarette when of­fered
in courtesy, and who has a whole
package in his pocket, undoubtedly takes
the cake and is king of something or other.
And the co-ed who smokes half a pack of
her date's cigarettes when she has a car­ton
should also be recognized. Such peo­ple
would pull the feathers from a lady
goose in the sight of an outraged gander.

And for heaven sakes don't make the
pages so slick. Sumpter says he was read­ing
his Glomerata in the cool of his old
man's veranda last summer and admiring
the pictures of the K. D.'s when a fly lit
on the page . . . or tried to light. Sump­ter
says there was a whirl-wind skid and
then a splatter that didn't confine itself to
the page. He says one of the K. D.'s got
her make-up a bit smeared in the encoun­ter.
And if it's the K. D. I'm thinking
about, I hope the insect had been dining
out on one of the Alpha Psi's embalmed
mules.

theft of any kind he should report it

Some of it is done, perhaps, without in­tent

stealing when anyone takes anything which
belongs to another. And stealing is bad

All was in peace on the Ole Miss campus
until a man filed suit against the Univer­sity
for $25,000. Now, no longer does peace
and quietness rule the campus, for a cer­tain
Ole Miss student was very much upset
about the instance. The student spoke
these words of wisdom when he was ques­tioned
about his convictions concerning the
law suit. "Well, I'm afraid that board will
be going soon, or maybe the staff will be
cut, or perhaps the school will close up and
declare, itself in bankruptcy, and right after
I bought a laundry ticket!"

The new custodians of the air mail skies
have been flying scarcely four days and al­ready
the elements have turned against
them. Fog and snow in the Rocky Moun­tain
territory and over a large section of
the middle West turned the airlanes into a
howling terror which resulted in five
deaths and many forced landings. Pilots
have been killed in Ohio, Texas, Maryland
and New York, which gives some idea of
the spread of the storm. However, of all
these stories of death and hardship, may it
be said that the mail went through in all
except one case.

The Daily Tar Heel recommends an ex­termination
of that pest which exists in
every class who is forever asking some
worthless question on a trivial point, or
who asks a "bull-session" question as the
bell is ringing for the next class.
Quoting from the Daily:
"Many a professor is deceived in think­ing
that he has a genius in his class, where­as
he merely has a professional bull-shooter,
in this so-called class room pest.
The Daily Eansan reports that a Har­vard
class, afflicted with just such a mem­ber,
decided that each student was losing
four dollars worth of education every hour
the obnoxious classmate argued. The class
organized a revolt and every time that mem­ber
opened his mouth, a great shuffling of
feet created such a disturbance that he was
forced to discontinue his questions.
The professor isn't to blame when he
comes into his class five or ten minutes
late; he has merely been discussing why the
philosophy of existence is exasperating or
what is the future for socialism or nudism
with one of these talkative brutes.
Not only is this perverted beast found
in the class room, but he is also an unwel­come
guest at lectures. He simply has to
question the lecturer in order to show off
his high-sounding knowledge. Thus, the
lecture drags on for another hour to the
joy of this freak and the snores of the rest
of the audience."
As a remedy for such pests, the Daily
Tar Heel suggests that the students use the
old custom of ducking them in the well.

SAGA OF THE VILLAGE
(Canto The Fifth)
WE ARE now about to study the
actions and whimsies of that sterl­ing
member of the shovel brigade,
Will Snappleton.
Will Snappleton is short on size and long
on S. A. He is a self-confessed power­house.
One look from Will and the ladies
are gone. As far away as possible. He's
got more girls than Moral has brothers.
And that's plenty, believe me. Yes, in-deedy,
Will Snappleton is the modern an­swer
to an old-fashioned maiden's prayer.
He's a triple threat man. He romps,
stomps and hollers. He's a he-man from
the wide open spaces. He's the brother of
the well-known farmers daughter. That
makes him brother-in-law to a traveling
salesman, but that's beside the point. Let's
get down to cases.
Will has nurtured in his flea-bitten
heart a three-year yearning for a certain
little Monty-aller gal. Nightly he has
penned with trembling hand lengthy son­nets
and trebling lyrics to the fair-haired
woman. At every opportunity, this man
of destiny has visited his blond enamorata.
If Snappleton were a fish you could see the
hook sticking out of his mouth. He's done
got caught.
But heigh ho, etc. Will could not help
but be aware of the fact that he was tech­nically
speaking, not getting to first base.
And if anything arouses the ire of a true
Snappleton, it is not reaching first base.
The whole family has a mania for getting
on first base. In the warmer seasons, it is
the custom of the baseball corporations to
allow only one Snappleton in the park at
one time. This precaution is absolutely
necessary on account of more than one
Snappleton standing on first base would in­terfere
with the even tenor of the baseball
ways. Seeing this peculiar trait in the
Snappleton traditions removes all the sur­prise
when I tell you that Will was fu­rious.
He couldn't stand it any longer.
With rare abandon he grabbed the
phone book, opened it casually, closed his
eyes, chose a number and called. A sweet
feminine voioce cooed at him after so long a
time. "H'lo, Tapioca Theatre." Snappleton,
usually calm under fire, lost his nerve.
Trembling, he batted an eyelash. It was
the beginning of a light romance that might
have been heavy. But alas, the beautiful
ticket seller was not put after Will. She
stood him up the first date. Will, as you
know, was a firm follower of Mr. Moral and
was accustomed to being treated Justin
Fair always. This trick irked him. You
know what it is, irked? Like in the song,
"An Irked To You." He certainly had
cause to be irked. Suppose you wanted to
get to first base and didn't even get up to
bat?
Now we have Snappleton in a storm.
He hasn't gotten to first base. He has
been crossed, scorned, and all but rejected
by two of the dearest of his acquaintances.
His fellows jeer at him. Dogs bark as he
rushes restlessly by. His eyes are circled,
and his accounts need squaring. He's made
the try-angle for his girl and now all he
has is the print of her rube ellipse on his
handkerchief.
What a position for this gentleman of
the old school (Awbrin, you. dope) to be
caught in. How would you feel? How
would Washington feel? What would Lin­coln
have done? And don't forget Snap­pleton—
what should he do?
Snappleton was at odds. The odds were
five to one and no taker. So what did
Snappleton do? He tried a third time.
Well, it seems this third person in question
wasn't very well acquainted with Will so
she came on down from way out in Missis­sippi
and made the dance. If memory does
not fail your scribe, it was the Honest So­cieties
Ball. History at this point seems
a bit vague. First base is not even men­tioned
in connection with this event. That
leaves us several alternatives. It may be
that mention of it would have been useless
repetition. Perhaps Will had forgotten
about it himself. Or maybe the facts are
supposed to be self-evident.
At any rate the lady in question arrived
and was duly taken care of. Snappleton ex­tended
himself to be the perfect host.
Rhymes fairly well wtih the pest, don't
you think?
And then came the fun. The lady fair
from way up there in Monty-aller heard
all about it. She, being herself, did not
relish her Will keeping too much company.
She said so. Will said yes'm. Today you'll
notice that Will is a bit subdued. You'll
not see that light come into his limpid eyes
when he meets a fair damsel. His power­house
attitude has been shaken at its foun­dations.
Hejs a changed man; the only
way you'd know him is by the name on the
keys he hangs out, one each day, upon his
groaning watch chain. That, ladies, etc., is
the sad fate of our friend, colleague and
all that sort of thing, the big Butter and
Ag-man, Will Snappleton.

College commencement exercises.

This third week of spring training
finds the Plainsman well acquainted
with their football tactics. With only
two more weeks of practice scheduled,
the players are putting forth their
hardest efforts'to make a good show­ing.
The scrimmages of this past week
have brought several players into the
first rank, and, while these men have
shown up at either defensive or of­fensive
work only, many of them may
be considered as first string prospects
for next year's eleven.
The greatest insufficiency of play­ers
is in the backfield, especially at
quarterback. Scarborough, Brown,
D. Patterson, and Turner are the
main quarterback hopes. None of
these men, however, are qualified as
the first string signal callers.
Although Whitten is probably the
outstanding fullback on the squad, his
defensive work is not on a par with
his offensive work. Aubrey Hill and
John Tipper are showing up nicely on
the defense.
Wright, Stuart, Mitchell, Kilgore,
and Blake are looking good as half­backs.
Karam carries the ball well,
but has shown up rather poorly at
blocking and tackling.
The line has quite a few prospects.
Gilbert, Gantt, and Musgrove are
good at center. Fenton and Kemp are
the two most likely ends. Strange,
Rogers, McFadden, McAllister and
Gilliam have shown flashes of fine
defensive work.
Quick kicking practice and punting
has been started. Blake, Kilgore,
Mitchell and Karam seem to be the
most accomplished in this feat.

===== By B. C. POPE ========
By JAMES PARRISH
Pinch-Hitting for B. C. Pope
The Interfraternity Council deserves hearty commendations for reviving
intramural athletics at Auburn. Athletics between the various groups at
the school used to form an important part of collegiate activities, mainly
under the leadership of the War Department. Class football was an estab­lished
fact at Auburn for many years, but this was discontinued several
years ago. The first form of competition between the fraternities was bas­ketball.
Golf and tennis were then inaugurated, although the golf tourna­ment
has been abolished the last two years.
Last year, due to the apparent in
terest evident on every vacant lot,
the Council decided to sponsod an in­door
baseball tournament. Although
not literally "indoor" baseball, the
tournament was a big success its first
year and is to be continued this year.
The idea of a touch football tourney
originated in the same way. In the
streets, on every vacant lot a group
of students would be playing this
light form of football. The Council
decided to capitalize on this interest,
with the consequent result that the
tourney was a great success. A track
tourney was held in conjunction with
"A" day last year. The only tourna­ment
which was not a success was
golf, which failed mainly because of
definite limitations to its widespread
adoption.
Ever since the competitions
have been held, the Sigma Nus
seem to have had an edge. Last
year the Sigma Nus won the
tennis and baseball tournaments,
and were runner-up in the bas­ketball
tournament. They also
won the track tourney held on
"A" Day. This year Sigma Nu
annexed the touch football tro­phy
and are at present in the
semi-finals of the basketball
tourney. Pi K. A., S. A. E.,
Delta Sigma Phi, and Alpha
Gamma Rho have also won quite
a number of first places in the
tourneys.
* * *
Many students wondered when read­ing
a recent press notice why Auburn
was not invited to the National In­tercollegiate
Polo Association, and the
University was. It has since developed
that Alabama does not have a polo
team, and Major Franke is of the
opinion that the invitation was in­tended
for Auburn, who has one of
the outstanding polo teams in the
South. Although as yet no develop­ments
have taken place, it is expected
that Auburn, and not Alabama, will
probably be recognized in a few days.
* * *
Auburn has gone sports-mind­ed
at the present in nearly every
form of athletics. Baseball,
more time will be spent with ends and
passers, for, as yet, no exceptional
passer has been developed.
The squads have been divided into
two teams called the Army and Navy.
There will be a regular full-time
game played between these two rivals
Saturday at three-thirty on Drake
Field. No charge will be made for
admission.
football, track, swimming and
polo are all being practiced with­in
a few hundred yards of each
other, and on every available
tennis court several euthusiasts
may be seen. Golf is rapidly
becoming more popular with the
approach of warm weather; and
a large portion of the student
body is participating in some
form of athletics.
Spring training probably is the cen­ter
of interest for the largest number
of students, as fifty prospective grad-sters
report every afternoon to Drake
Field for instruction from Coaches
Meagher, Hitchcock, Jordan, and com­pany.
Quite a few townspeople, and
students go out to watch the 1934
team prepare for next season's sched­ule,
coming away with the impression
that despite the greenness of most of
the players, Auburn will have a fight­ing
team next year. Coach Jack
Meagher has produced a most favor­able
reaction, as he goes about his
duties in a business-like manner that
is transferred to his charges.
Coach Bobo has only been at
the helm of Auburn's baseball
aggregation a few days and has

Dick Greer, Chairman of the Ath­letic
Committee of the Interfraternity
Council, stated in an interview this
week that the annual tournaments
among the fraternities in tennis and
indoor baseball would start Monday,
March 19th. It is planned to run the
tournament off simultaneously this
year as the tennis tournament does
not take but two men out of each fra­ternity.
Greer also stated that, con-rary
to current rumor, a- golf tourna­ment
among the Greeks would not be
held this year.
Last year was the first time that
an indoor baseball tournament has
been held, tennis tourneys having
been staged for several years. The
Sigma Nus copped both titles in last
year's competition, defeating Kappa
Sigma in the finals of the baseball
tournament, and Sigma Alpha Ep-silon
in the finals of the tennis play.
Due to the fact that most of the out­standing
tennis players in last year's
tournament will compete again this
year, the net tourney is expected to be
extremely close. Dozier Howard, Cam

Meeting Langdale in the second
round of the District Tournament,
Auburn High was defeated 28-20.
Jumping into the lead at the start,
Langdale piled up a 21-5 lead in the
first half. However, Auburn came
back in the second half determined to
even things up, and succeeded in scor­ing
15 points while holding Langdale
to 7 during the final period. This
gallant effort, however, could not off­set
the tremendous advantage amass­ed
by Langdale in the first half.
Frazier and Hawkins, of Langdale,
were the outstanding players on the
floor. Hawkins played the best game
of his career, scoring 11 points and
turning in a good defensive game.
Frazier and Brooks scored 8 each for
Langdale.
The main trouble with Auburn dur­ing
the first half was the tenseness of
the players, most of whom were play­ing
their first tournament game. Add
to this that they were playing one of
the best teams in the district and an
adequate explanation "of the poor
showing made in the first half is
found. Auburn was an entirely differ­ent
team in the second half, and the
final score might have been different
if Auburn had pereformed as capably
the first half.
Bunchy Fowler was the most versa­tile
player for Auburn, as he scored
six points and held Johnson, a sup­posed
offensive ace, scoreless. What-ley,
Ham and Smith also played well
for Auburn.

More than forty candidates have
been reporting daily to Coach Bobo
on the baseball diamond during the
first week of practice. The field is
rapidly being put into first-class con­dition
and will be completed some­time
next week.
Most of last year's nine is back this
year, but how to fill up the gap left by
the graduation of Jimmy Hitchcock,
Porter Grant, Aubrey Lewis, and Ar-vin
Payne, is a problem facing Coach
Bobo at present. Mason at first, Mc-
Mahan at second, Kimbrell at short,
and Head at third are first stringers
returning to the infield positions. Ma­son
is the only member of the quar­tet
who is sure of his precise position
right at present; Kimbrell, Head and
McMahan alternating between second,
shortstop and third. Frank Ellis, a
valuable reserve last season, is also
a promising candidate for third. In
the outfield O'Barr is back in left,
Talley and Pitts in center, and Ariail
in right. Herbert Benson is also be­ing
groomed for an outfield post.
With only a few days of practice it is
difficult to predict probable starters
but the opening line-up will consist
of the above unless, of course, some
newcomer displays an unusual amount
of promise.
Only one really outstanding pitcher
from last year, Ripper Williams, who
was classed as one of the best in the
South in 1933. However, Stiles, who
is playing his first season at Auburn,
is showing up well in the initial prac­tice
sessions. Thomas and Irwin, the
latter from last year's squad, are also
showing promise. In addition to
these, Coach Bobo has several other
pitchers, some reserves last season,
others graduates of last year's plebe
nine, who may develop. Among the
most capable of these is Scott Dalton,
an ace hurler of the freshman; al­though
Sindler, Wilcoxon and Nolfe
may improve considerably.
Three candidates are trying out for
catcher: Hamilton, Campbell and El­gin.
Of these three Hamilton proba­bly
has the edge. And there is a pos­sibility
of Ariail, originally a catcher,
being shifted back to his old post if
none of these three candidates per­form
satisfactorily.
As understudies for Mason, Orr
and Allen are the most likely choices.
Both are tall, with a good eye for the
bat, and if for any reason Mason is
not able to play, either one of them
can play a good game at the initial
sack. Louis Matthews, who played on
last year's freshman team, and Dun-ford,
a senior this year, are the most
likely substitutes for short and third.
ell, who represented Sigma Nu and
S. A. E. in the finals last year are
back and are expected to give their
opponents as much trouble if not more
than they did last year.

"TIT J .

THERE'S a pleasant, friendly at­mosphere
about the Hotel Mel­ton—
a delightful informality and
unobtrusively efficient service that
appeals to discriminating guests.
While Molton service is punctili­ous,
it is entirely lacking in that
stiff formality one often finds In
larger metropolitan hotels. That's
why the guests who stop here once,
feel like they're coming home whan
they return to see us.

(Continued from page 1)
night, the Pi K. A. quintet fought an
uphill battle to down a strong S. A. E.
aggregation in the final quarter.
Soon after the opening whistle, the
S. A. E. boys jumped into a four-point
lead, only to be caught before
the end of the first quarter. During
the second and third quarters the two
teams fought on even terms with the
result that the score stood deadlocked
at 10-10 at the end of the half and
12-12 at the end of the third quarter.
As the final period began, however,
the Pi K. A. quintet jumped to a
seven-point lead and coasted to the
end of the game.
The offensive work of Black and
Mitchell was good for the winners
while Russell turned in a stellar de­fensive
exhibition. For the losers, the
all-round play of Dozier Howard was
alternately a scoring threat and a de­fensive
menace to the Pi Kappa Al­phas.

been training for a longer period of
time than any other group of ath­letes,
and seem to be rapidly round­ing
into shape. Headed by Sterling
Dupree, as Captain, and Robert Rut­land
as Alternate-captain, the track
team is expected to continue its bril­liant
record. It is probable that two
meets will be held here this year, thus
giving the student body more oppor­tunity
to see the track men perform
than last year, when only one meet
was held on the campus.

of the students playing here have
ever been handicapped, but have
elected to play the game without such
as they feel confident that they will
not need these extra points.
"Rules of the game prescribe pen­alties
when a member of a team com­mits
a foul. The severest penalty is
the award of one point to the oppos­ing
team for committing a dangerous
foul in attempting to save a goal.
Other penalties give the team which
is fouled a free hit at the ball, the
ball being placed more or less advan­tageously,
depending on the severity
of the foul. The fouls are based on
plays which are dangerous to a play­er
or a horse and on unfair play in
endeavoring to overcome an advan­tage
gained by an opponent.
The word "chukker" is often heard
in polo. This is an Indian word for
a period of the game. An official
game consists of eight periods of
seven and one-half minutes each, with
three minutes allowed between pe­riods.
Games here are of only six pe­riods
as the number of horses suitable
for the game is insufficient to play
a full eight chukkers.
Capt. Gunby said that he felt that
the game here this year would be
much better than ever before as the
field has been increased in length and
its surface is better grassed and
smoother than last year. All these
things make for faster and more open
play.

Men and women
say They Satisfy
FOR SOMETHING to "satisfy"
you, means that it pleases you
—that it's what you want. This
applies to cigarettes or anything.
A cigarette has to taste right—
not raw or too sweet. For a ciga­rette
to "satisfy" it has to be mild
—not strong, not harsh.
You can prove for yourself
whether a cigarette is milder—
whether a cigarette tastes better.
And it's because smokers
can prove these things
about Chesterfield that so
many men and women
say they satisfy. Try them.
