The Auburn Tigers make their only
home appearance this season tomor­row
on Drake Field when they play
host to the strong Oglethorpe Petrels.
The game will begin at 2 P.M.
Severely crippled from playing sUch
strong teams as Georgia Tech, George
Washington, Tulane, and-Duke on
successive Saturdays, the Plainsmen
will not be able to put their best out­fit
on the field. However, many re­serves
are expected to get a chance
to display their wares tomorrow and
the experience they will gain should
help them materially in strengthening
the Tigers for future games.
Coach Wynne may start a new
backfield composed of Red Head at
quarterback, Bubber Phipps and Bun-ky
O'Rourke, halfbacks, and Harry
Whitten, fullback. This combination
has been showing up well in scrim­mages
this week and they have a good
chance to get the opening assignment
tomorrow.
Other reserves who probably will be
seen in action, some for the first
time this season, will be Norman
Houston, Red Watson, Leslie Woodall,
Dan Lawson, Mu,tt Morris, Welch
Huckaby, Aubrey Hill, Hershel West,
Cleve Brown, Harry Hooper, Duke
Paterson, Ward Wright, and Bobby
Blake.
Thirteen seniors will make their
last appearance on Drake Field. They
are: Captain Ripper Williams, Alter­nate-
Captain Boots Chambless, Will
Chrietzberg, Buddy McCollum, Tiny
Holmes, Bing Miller, Gump Ariail,
Red Head, Bubber Phipps, Allen Rog­ers,
Casey Kimbrell, Sterling Dupree,
and Marion Talley.
Oglethorpe comes to the Plains
highly regarded as an offensive me
chine. In Mitrick, 185 pounder from
Chicago, the Petrels have the greatest
fullback in the history of the school
The battle tomorrow will mark the
second meeting of Oglethorpe and
Auburn. The Tigers and Petrels first
clashed on the gridiron in 1918, with
the Plainsmen winning a 58 to 0 vic­tory-
Boozer Pitts, one of the greatest
centers the South has ever produced
and probably the best Auburn has
ever turned out, will referee the game
Other officials include Tad Gardner,
Georgia Tech, umpire; Count Boyer,
William and Jewell, head linesman,
and Dad Amis, Furman, field judge.
CHEMICAL GROUP WILL
HOLD MEETING MONDAY
The Auburn Chemical Society will
hold its regular meeting Monday
night at seven-thirty. A. B. Allen,
graduate student in the Chemistry
department will give a talk on
"Chemical Warfare". Allen has been
working and studying this phase of
Chemical Engineering for some time
and is well qualified to make an in­teresting,
comprehensive, and com­plete
survey of the field. The talk
will not be too technical for fresh­men,
nor too elementary for upper-classmen.
All students in the depart­ment
of Chemistry and Pharmacy are
urged to attend.
Auburn-Georgia Tickets
Will Be Sold Next Week
Student tickets for the Au­burn-
Georgia game in Columbus,
Saturday, November 18, will be
on sale at Alumni Gymnasium
every afternoon next week ex­cept
Saturday. Student coupon
number six will be used for the
game with the Bulldogs.
The gymnasium office will be
open between the hours of one
and five in the afternoon to take
care of student ticket demands.
Other purchasers of tickets for
the game can secure them now
during the regular gymnasium
office hours. A payment of forty
cents with the coupon will be the
charge for student's admission,
while reserved seat regular tick­ets
will sell for two dollars and
twenty cents.
Tickets for "the Oglethorpe
game tomorrow will cost one dol­lar
and ten cents and one dollar
and sixty-five cents. Students

upon showing their ticket books.
HONOR SOCIETIES
BALL IS PLANNED
Banquet Also Will Be Held By
Honor Groups; Is Second
Annual Presentation
The second annual banquet and ball
of the twelve senioj honorary, societies
will be held this year on Saturday,
December 9, according to Charles
Workman, chairman of the executive
committee.
Blue Key is again sponsoring the
affair and states that it has been de­cided
to make this an activity of the
societies each year.
Cards for bids to the ball will be
placed in fraternity houses and down­town
drug stores Monday. These
cards will be taken up on November
27 to be mailed. The tickets for the
banquet are available now and can
be purchased until Wednesday, De­cember
6. After this date no tickets
will be sold, and as it will be neces­sary
to have a ticket to attend the din­ner
the committee urges all who are
planning to go to the banquet to get
tickets before the deadline.
The decorating of the gymnasium
for the ball will be in charge of the
Scarabs, honorary fraternity of ar­chitects,
and a novel theme is being
worked out by them. *
This social made its appearance for
the first time on the campus last year
and proved to be one of the outstand­ing
events of the social calendar. The"
banquet is held at the dinner hour
in the downstairs auditorium of the
Baptist Church just preceding the
ball. The ball is held in the special­ly
decorated gymnasium and is for­mal.
This year there will be pro­gram
dances to start with as a varia-

PRIZE DRAWINGS WILL
BE PLACED ON EXHIBIT
Many prize designs, oil paintings,
and water colored drawings will be
on exhibit in the library of the de­partment
of Architecture for the
benefit of all visitors expected here
on Homecoming Day.
Representative work in architec­tural
and landscape design, exterior

CHEMICAL SESSION
BEGINS TOMORROW
Alabama Section Of Chemical
Society Will Convene Here
Says Allen
The Alabama Section of the Amer­ican
Chemical Society will convene
here Saturday evening, November 11,
in Ross Auditorium, according to Pro­fessor
Roger Allen, chairman of the
entertainment committee.
Members of the society are expected
to arrive in Auburn Saturday after­noon
in order to attend the Auburn-
Oglethorpe. football game before the
regular meeting. A regular meeting
consists of a banquet and a business
meeting. The banquet will be held
at 6:30 in the Eastern Star dining
room. A special musical program is
being arranged for the dinner.
The business meeting of the socie­ty
will be held at 7:30 in the audito­rium
of the Ross Chemical Building.
Professor Fred Allison of the local
Physics Department will be the prin­cipal
speaker of the evening. Dr.
Allison's subject will be, "Magneto-
Optic Method of Analysis". As this
method of analysis was devised and
developed by Dr. Allison, the discus­sion
promises to be most interesting.
Local scientists, members of the
faculty, and business men who are in­terested
will attend" the meeting.
Likewise, faculty members and in­dustrialists
from centers, like Birm­ingham,
throughout the state will be
present for the discussion.
The American Chemical. Society is
composed of sixteen thousand chemists
and holds a national meeting twice a
year. The national society is divided
into many Local Sections of which the
State of Alabama comprises one sec­tion.
This section is officially named
the Alabama Section.
Phi Lambda Upsilon, student hon­orary
fraternity, which is helping
with the arrangements, has issued in­vitations
to neighboring scientists who
are not in this section. Approximate­ly
fifty people are expected to attend
this meeting.
Dr. E. V. Jones, of Birmingham, is
president of the Alabama Section.
VICTORY SONG BE
SUNG AT MEETING
New Auburn Victory March
Will Be Introduced At Mass
Meeting Tonight
The new Auburn Victory March
will be featured at the mass meet­ing
to be held Friday night in prep­aration
for the Tigers Homecoming
scrap with Oglethorpe. According to
cheerleader Ed Prewitt, the song will
be played at the meeting until the
students are familiar with it, and the
words to the chorus will be learned,
so that it may be sung at the game
tomorrow. Especial emphasis is plac­ed
on the learning of the words to
the song, as school authorities wish
for the song to make a favorable im­pression
upon the crowd of old grads
and visitors who are expected to
throng the campus tomorrow.
Aside from learning the song,
much time will be spent in the prac­ticing
yells.
Talks by old grads in town for the
game, and the-usual effusion of that
far-famed Auburn spirit will join to
make the meeting one of the most
successful of the season.
Cheerleader Prewitt states that all
freshmen will be required to wear
rat caps to the mass meeting, and to
the game. Also, freshmen will be re­quired
to sit in a body at the game.
Freshmen who do not abide by these
regulations may expect summary
punishment by proper authorities.
Auburn Victory March
Below are the words to Au­burn's
new Victory March which
was composed by Mr. A. Traxler,
of Birmingham:
Come on, boys, let's trav—el,
For it is time that we're on our
way;
Time to hit the grav—el,
We've got to win that game to­day.
Fight, you AUBURN TIGERS!
For the vic-to-ry,
Let them say it as we play,
We're are rov-ing, Fighting,
AUBURN TI-GERS.
LITERARY SOCIETY
INITIATES PLEDGES
Alpha Phi Epsilon Inducts Six
Students To Membership In
Fall Initiation
The local chapter of Alpha Phi
Epsilon, national honorary literary
and debating fraternity, initiated six
students at their annual fall initia­tion,
held Wednesday night at 8:00
o'clock in the Recreation Room of the
Y. M. C. A. At this time, the follow­ing
students outstanding in literary
and debate work were received into

Crawford, Leonard Nelson, Mildred
Simon, George Borhorfoush, and
Grace Carlson. •
Following the initiation ceremony,
refreshments and an informal dance
was given.
With the initiation of these mem­bers,
A. Phi E. has begun a success­ful
year in the promotion of those ac­tivities
in which it is most interested,
according to Charles Workman, presi­dent
of the local chapter.

Homecoming Celebration
Climaxing the festivities of
Homecoming Day, the "A" Club
will give a dance at the gymna­sium
tomorrow night at nine
o'clock. The Oglethorpe and Au­burn
football teams will be honor­ed
at this affair and members of

promises a varied pro­gram
of the latest dance hits, in­cluded
in which will be several
numbers which the band will play
for the first time at a public ap­pearance
here. Also, many spe­cial
arrangements of novelty
numbers will be played.
Due to the unusually large
number of visiting girls who are
in town today, the dance tomor­row

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
TO HEAR DEAN PETRIE
Dr. George Petrie, head of the his­tory
department and dean of the Au­burn
graduate school, will address the
Baraca Class of the First Baptist
Church Sunday morning at 9:45 in
the auditorium of the church.
Dean Petrie is well qualified to
speak in this capacity having on num­erous
occasions spoken from the pul­pits
of local churches. He is well
versed in the Bible, and coupled with
his broad knowledge of history and
topics of the day, announcement of his
address Sunday has created much in­terest.
Members of the class have
expressed themselves as being ex­tremely
fortunate in securing Dr.
Petrie for this occasion.
In addition to Dr. Petrie's address,
a special musical program has been
arranged. Sergeant George Moxham
will be featured in several vocal num­bers
and the class quartet, led by
Prof. John Roe, will render selections.
Auburn copped first place in the
cross country meet with Georgia Tech
yesterday afternoon in a hotly con­tested
race.
Carl Pihl, Auburn, paced the
tracksters during the first two miles
of the three mile course but was nos­ed
out by Lynwood Funchess, Au­burn,
in a thrilling finish. Funchess,
Pihl, and Gait, all of Auburn, fin­ished
first, second, and third, respec­tively.
Starting at the gymnasium, Pihl
quickly grabbed the lead, with Gait
second, and Cambell, Tech, third.
Jones, Tech, pulled into second place
at the Presbyterian Church, but Gait
out-paced him to take this position
within a few yards from this point.
The men were running in the same
order when they reached the Metho­dist
Church. Pihl lengthened his
stride and pulled away from the run­ners
to a twenty yard lead at the end
of the first half mile. Shortly after
this Funchess came up to fourth
place, with Jones, Auburn, also mov­ing
up. Cambell still retained1 third
place at this point. At the mile mark,
Pihl was outdistancing the pack with
a twenty-five yard lead. Funchess
grabbed third place at this time, while
Gait was running second. At the
turn Pihl was still leading, followed
by Gait, Funchess and Cambell re­spectively.
Funchess moved past
Gait into second place at the two mile
mark. Pihl was tiring fastly coming
up the hill at the post office and Fun­chess
grabbed the lead at the Kappa
Sigma house. He had increased his
lead to thirty yards by the time the
runners reached the Presbyterian
Church and, with a burst of speed,
broke the tape with a fine finish.
Pihl came in a strong second but al­most
collapsed as he crossed the line.
Results: first, Funchess; second,
Pihl; third, Gait; fourth, Braswell,
Tech; fifth, Walters, Tech; sixth,
Jones, Tech; seventh, Emery; eighth,
Jones (A); ninth, Cambell, Tech;
tenth, Murphy.

AN APOLOGY
The Plainsman wishes to apologize to
the participants in the recent amateur
night performance at the Tiger Theatre
and to the Tiger Theatre for the statement
which was carried under the head of foot­prints
in the last issue of the paper. It
was through an oversight that this was
allowed to be printed and it is hoped that
no harm was done by the statement as
printed. The Plainsman fully believes that
the amateur performance was one of the
best stage shows ever presented in Au­burn
and that the students and towns­people
who took part in it were excellent.
The remark which was printed was point­less
and without foundation and we sin­cerely
hope that it will immediately, be
dropped from the minds of all as being
totally incorrect.
AFTER REPEAL
Many Americans are celebrating the vic­tory
of prohibition repealists that was com­pleted
Tuesday as a result of elections held
in six states. Ballots of a majority of the
voters in thirty-seven states testify to the
fact that what was once a "noble experi­ment"
is definitely stamped as a failure.
The death of prohibition brings to mind
the enthusiasm that accompanied its estab­lishment.
Ardent drys were confident it
could do nothing but succeed, and the fer­vor
of the people swept the eighteenth
amendment into the constitution. Many
of those who supported prohibition were
instrumental in its defeat, having realized
through its application that such a law is
not practical. It has taken more than a
decade to prove that the enactment of laws
is not successful in regulating the personal
rights of individuals.
The next step in the repeal movement
is the regulation of liquor traffic. It is
up to repealists and prohibitionists alike
to unite and work out a plan for dispensing
the harder beverages, for herein lies the
real test of whether or not repeal is to be
successful. If conditions revert to the pre-prohibition
standards, the drys will un­doubtedly
gather the balance of power from
a disgusted public; and then the country
will be back in the position it occupied in
1920 as far as the alcoholic question is
concerned.
When a person localizes the national
situation and thinks of the effect that the
repeal amendment will have on the state
of Alabama, he should remember that state
laws will have to be repealed also. Ala-bamians
went on record last summer as
being opposed to the eighteenth amendment,
but whether or not the state is to permit
the sale of alcoholic drinks is yet to be
decided. The state laws will be changed
only through a successful campaign car­ried
on by repeal advocates.
To further localize the question—what
is going to take place in Auburn?
Anyone remaining in this town only a
short time cannot ignore the presence of
bootleg whiskey. Drinking among students
and townspeople might be stopped, but only
by a miracle. The local police might exert
every effort, but they would be powerless
to eliminate the filthy whiskey that is be­ing
consumed here.
Why must the individuals in control of
the town of Auburn shrink from facing
the facts? Do they honestly believe that
people will refrain from using alcohol be­cause
of laws?
Will they not wake up to the realization
that the avenue opened up by repeal could
not possibly be as bad in effect as the rule
of the bootlegger under the prohibition re­gime?
Isn't human nature such that a per­son
desires a thing less when he knows
that there are no restrictions to his having
that thing that he can have it whenever
he does happen to want it?
Wouldn't some changes, however small
at first, cause a general trend of improve­ment
locally?
SPORTSMANSHIP
As further evidence, of the national re­nown
accorded Auburn team for hard fight­ing,
cleanliness, and good sportsmanship
comes an Associated Press dispatch from
Durham, following the Tiger's defeat at
the hands of the mighty Duke Blue Devils.
The players are to be commended on the
furtherance of a cause which offers one
of the best advertisements a school may
have. The statement was as follows:
The Blue Devils of Duke, who chalk­ed
up their sixth consecutivge victory
of the season by turning back Auburn's
fine eleven Saturday, came through the
game without injury and will tomorrow
begin work for their first game in a
series of three which will determine
their ranking in the Southern confer­ence
race. The three-game set opens
with Maryland in College Park on Sat­urday.
Although the Blue Devils came
through the contest without injury
they lost the services of their clever
quarterback, "Horse" Hendrickson, for
the Maryland game. Hendrickson "en­tered
the Auburn contest with a broken
hand and several other injuries and to­day
the hand was put into a cast and he
will be out for 10 days but is expected
to return in time for the annual game
with North Carolina.
Coach Chet Wynne and his Auburn
Plainsmen were getting much praise
today for the great game they played*
against the Devils. It was one of the
finest and hardest fighting teams to
play in the state as well as one of the
cleanest. Members of the Duke team
said the Plainsmen were the cleanest
players they have met on the gridiron
this year.
YOUTH NOT SO FLAMING
Flaming youth is no longer glowing. It
has sobered down. It has dropped the hard-boiled
pose of early post-war days. It has
learned that alcohol is useful in the labora­tory
but too much is hard on the stomach.
It is, in short, taking a more realistic and
wholesome attitude towards life.
All of that is true of the boys and girls
of 1933, says Willard W. Beatty, superin­tendent
of the Bronxville, New York, public
schools. His conclusions are the result of
a study for the General Education Board
and are based on talks with administrators,
teachers, and students in fifty-six Ameri­can
elementary and secondary schools.
"High-school students of today," he de­clares,
"are better behaved, more consider­ate
of others, more cooperative, less dis-tructive,
and in every way better citizens
than the pre-war or immediate post-war
generation in our school. They are frank
and outspoken, and their professions are
much more likely to conform to their prac­tices.
. . . Liquor plays little or no part
in the lives of more than 95 per cent of
high school students, despite the vast
amount of publicity given to prohibition's
supposed demoralization of the young."
That generalization does not appear to be
overdrawn. Many evidences are at hand to
show that the young people of 1933 are
looking ahead with a clearer notion of-
"what it's all about" than did their parents.
They recognize froth for what it is. A
smart magazine, popular only a few years
ago with college students, has, in the ver­nacular,
"folded up" for want of support.
The football hero of yesteryear isn't lionized
quite so much as he was. Why? "We see
him in the classroom," one young lady smil­ingly
told an inquirer. Athletics are in­creasingly
regarded as means of acquiring
personal enjoyment and health and not as-public
spectacles alone. In short, a new
youth, not quite so incandescent as his older
brother or sister, is emerging from these
late depression days.
The plain fact of the matter is, however,
that the whole world is getting over a
giddy headache, brought on by the World
War. It is seeing more clearly than it did.
The response to the National Recovery Act
is in itself testimony of a growing under­standing
of the troubles of economics and
social health. Newspapers are printing
less news on "sex, money, and crime" to
make space for news on science, business,
religion and education. Labor controversies
are being settled more and more by arbi­tration
and less and less by violence and
bloodshed. In short, youth is but one of
the many signs of the times that a new
epoch is emerging.—The Rotarian, October,
1933.

When a boy will ride a bicycle to Pensa*
cola to see his school team play football he
may solemnly declare himself a fan. That
boy is Clifton Sosbee, often seen gliding
smoothly to school on his trim black racer.
It took six hours to cover the distance to
the Florida city but those hours were riot
without incident. Twenty-six miles from
his goal the front wheel of the speedy ma­chine
crashed into debris. Repairs were
made and Cliff coriipleted his trip in time
to see the game.
Disappointment faced our hero at the end
of the game. Murphy was defeated.
It was then that Cliff realized Mobile
was no closer than the distance is from
Mobile to Pensacola. The faithful steed
was carefully placed in a box car and its
owner climbed to a secluded position near
it. Now there is a bicycle at Murphy guilty
of hoboing.—Mobile Hi Times.

NOW THAT prohibition is repealed,
the college man will have to turn
to some other means of breaking the
law. Ten thousand bootleggers will be
thrown into the ranks of the unemployed.
Gangster pictures will soon be in a class
with Revolutionary War pictures. In just
a few months, we may walk into' any grocery
store and ask for Three Star Hennesy or
Haig and Haig, Johnny Walker, and so on.
No longer will the convivial egg-nog at
Christmas taste suggestively of corn. No
longer may a football fan be recognizable
by the smell of lye on his breath. The
genuine respect created by prohibition to­wards
those old favorite brands will cause
them to be held in veneration and not be
indulged in to excess. France will be happy
once more. We of the present generation
will have a chance to debunk the high rating
given the old pre-war favorites by our pre­decessors.
No more will the enamel on the
bath tub be removed by synthetic gin. No
more home-brew on the closet floor. Con­viviality
will have a chance to regain the

For you who always aspired to be on
the football team but couldn't make the
grade, here is your chance.
At Ohio State University there is a
twelfth position on the football team. The
extra addition is called "Humorist". He
wears a uniform at all practices and sits
on the bench during all games. His job is
to keep the team in a humorous state of
mind and prevent them from becoming ner­vous
before a big game.
Fifty candidates answered Coach Wil-liman's
call. Sam Goodman of Cleveland
proved to be the man for the job and at
the close of the season he will receive a
varsity letter.—Crimson-White.
WELL, this is the time of the year
when everybody starts howling at
the "A" Club. The howling has
already started. There seems to be no ex­cuse
for the howling except that there is
nothing else to howl about as the Executive
Cabinet seems to be doing as well as can
be expected this year and is not trying to
slip in any of the big dances as it so un­wisely
tried to do last year.
Possibly some of the howling is justified
as some members of the "A" Club are
perfect louses, clod hoppers who should be
plowing, and who take Secondary Education
because they could under no circumstances
pass any other course. We all know that.
But other members of the "A" Club are the
finest students we have in school. The "A"
Club, as I see it, is just like any other or­ganization
or fraternity, there must be a
louse for nearly every decent member. That
is true in every club I've ever seen or heard
about.
Most of the criticism directed against the
"A" Club centers about the point of the
Club's running of the school. We all know
that the "A" Club runs the school and owns
the gymnasium. We all know that. And
probably the criticism on this point is jus­tified,
as the man "out the outside" always
likes to say the man "on the inside" is a
louse. Well, as I said, some of them are.
Some of them would be anywhere. But,
what I am trying to get at is that MOST
OF THEM are not, and maybe its a good
thing the "A" Club runs the school because
if the school was run by some of these two-for-
a-nickle politicking groups around the
campus, the school would indeed be in one
hell of a situation.
Last year I took several cracks at the
"A" Clubs . . . very good cracks . . . cracks
that would have rated a fight out of any
group other than such a GOOD BUNCH AS
THE "A" CLUB. After the cracks several
members of the Club—and I had known
them for a long time—stopped speaking to
me, which was very bad indeed. About a
month later one member of the "A" Club,
who happens to be the President this year,
stopped me and asked me where had I
obtained all of the information I was dish­ing
out about the "A" Club. I told him and
afterwards found out that it was like some
of this Gay Street gossip . . . just floating
around .started by some students who are
not fit to be called louses, and that most
of it was a pack of lies.
And that member of the "A" told me
the Club's side of the question, and made
me see the matter in an entirely different
light. Oh, I didn't start believing the "A"
Club is the Gem of the Ocean, or any part
of it, but I say the whole thing in a dif­ferent
light, and I'd like to tell some of
these bellyachers (ugly word, but effective)
around here that they are talking like a
man overboard when they start telling
stories about the "A" Club's being the curse
of the Institution.
I know the President of the "A" Club
this year, and have been knowing him for
about eight years. I dived between his
legs for our high school's last touchdown in
the last game we ever played together. I
contend that if you know a man well
enough to dive between his legs, you must
know him pretty well. And I do. And
he is a very good friend of mine. And I
know he is doing his utmost for the football
team, the student body, and the "A" Club.
And he is an all around good fellow. The
president of the "A" Club last year was
one of the finest men and one of the.best
football players to ever come to Auburn.
All of you know that too. And most of the
members of the "A" Club are the best
students at Auburn, and have been in the
years past.
And some members of the Club are not,
and never will be. But you can't damn
an organization for a few louses when most
of the men are just what I said . . . the
finest members of the student body. Some
of these fraternities, honor societies, and
other organizations on the campus have
members in them who "would make a decent
louse turn cold. Any organization has such
members and always will have as long as
such people insist on being born. It's a
sad thing, but a necessity so it seems.
What I would like to say to some of you
pin-heads who are shouting against the
"A" Club with every breath you take . . .
is lay off. If you were half as good stu­dents
and men as most of the "A" Club
members are you would indeed have some­thing
to shout about. Until then it would
be a blessing to humanity for you to keep
your lousy months shut or just get out
of town.
And as for the "A" Club's running the
school, I have already said I think it is
the logical thing and a mighty good thing.
There will always be friction between the
I "A" Club and members of the student body
I
because of this. But I say until some other
organization comes along who can do half
as good a job of running such a mess as
this school, let the "A" Club do it. And
put the soft pedal on your shouting.

For the first time since I have endeavored to amuse you with trying

of those who are prone to take things seriously, I have made a decent
showing. Last week one exact score was hit on the head. With the
majority of other scores, practically the exact difference between the
competing teams was forecast. Only the Tulane-Colgate game was badly
missed. Here they are:

Auburn is playing Oglethorpe in
what seems to be a breather before
the Georgia game in Columbus next
Saturday. But with several of the
Tiger regulars out with injuries, and
with the Petrels boasting a strong
offense, the game may still prove in­teresting.
Georgia Tech and Florida play in
Atlanta in what seems to be an all

and each has given some of
the stronger conference teams hard

Coach Ralph Jordan and twenty-five
freshman football players left
Auburn last night to encounter Tampa
University Saturday in Tampa. Upon
arrival there this morning a light sig­nal
drill was held to limber up after
the long trip.
This game, the third for the frosh
this season, is expected to be the
hardest played so far. Tampa has
not been scored upon this season, hav­ing
a powerful line that averages 200
pounds and a backfield that averages
around 187.
The Tigers have a freshman team
which is nearly equal in strength to
the one of 1929 when Porter Grant,
Jim Hitchcock, Lee Johnson, and Don­ald
Jones were rats. About four
teams comprise the squad at present.
The first team's line averages 185
pounds and the backfield 170. The
reserves are equally as hefty, and are
prepared to fill any position on the
first eleven.

strong Stormy Petrel from Oglethorpe
tomorrow afternoon on Drake Field in
what is supposed to be a breather be­fore
the Georgia game, but what has

7 to 6 in the last minute of play with
a line plunge that netted half an inch
after the Slagtown Bulldogs had held
for four downs with Auburn having
first down within the five yard line.

High Score On Exam
Made By J. 0. Ullman
Highest score on a psychological
examination taken this fall by all
freshman students attending Auburn
was made by J. O. Ullman of Natchez,
Miss., L. F. Rice, Columbus, Ga., P.
L. Hamilton, Birmingham, J. Duffee,
Jr., and W. Stafford, Florence, also
made exceptionally high scores. The
two young women members of the
class whose scores ranked in the
upper division were Helen Tigner of
Columbus, Ga., and Beatrice Gamble
of Roanoke.
For the last seven years this exami­nation
has been given to all fresh­men
in an effort to measure the men­tal
alertness of these students. It
has been found that students making
highest scores of this examination
usually rank at the head of their class
in scholarship throughout their four
years of college study.
Most difficult part of the examina­tion
was an artificial language test
where certain nonsense syllables were
substituted for various words and
grammatical forms. In another part
the student was called upon to iden­tify
the analogy between a series of
complex geometric figures. The test
also included very difficult arithme­tic
and vocabulary tests.
The 28 other students who scored
high on the examination are C. An­derson,
Chattanooga, Tenn.; E. S.
Adams, Birmingham; T. P. Bacon,
Bessemer; F. 0. Barrett, Montgom­ery;

TOURNEY PLANNED
(Continued from page 3)
eligible to enter a team of nine men.
Brackets are now being drawn up by
the committee and publication will be
made as soon as completed.
The interfraternity council plans
to have a director of intra-mural ath­letics
appointed to supervise the run­ning
off of the tournament. The dif­ferent
teams probably will be divided
into divisions with the winners play­ing
each other.
season has been ragged, Coach Robert­son
has juggled his lineup so that the
Petrels will have their fullest strength
for the Auburn tilt. Pickard has been
changed to Robison's tackle post to
team with Darracott, the other tackle.
Coach Wynne will probably start
a second string team a g a i n s t the
Petrels to feel them out, and if any
headway can be made, the regulars
will more than likely remain on the
bench to save themselves in an ef­fort
to stop Georgia's Conference title
match next Saturday. If the hospital
list of the Auburn team doesn't im­prove,
the second team will have to
play whether Oglethorpe wins or not.
Gump Ariail, Will Chrietzberg, Bat
McCollum, Bennie Fenton, and Tiny
Holmes . . . practically the entire
line are ailing one way or the other,
and probably will be on the sidelines
the greater part of the game.

Bulleit Will Direct
Presbyterian Choir
The Presbyterian Church has re­cently
begun an extensive develop­ment
of their choir, with the object
of providing the church with an add­ed
dignity, and making the services
more impressive, according to an an­nouncement
by Reverend S. B. Hay,
pastor.
Professor James Bulleit, Glee Club
director, has been appointed director
of the organization and has already
assumed active charge. A concerted
drive by him has increased the mem­bership
of the choir.
In keeping with the idea of greater
impressiveness in the church program,
the choir is to be vested. Also a
processional and recessional will be
used. It is planned at present for
the choristers to give a program once
each month, using in each instance
the works of one well-known com­poser.
In order to provide more spacious
accommodations for the group, the
choir loft is now being enlarged.
When the work is finished the new
loft will accommodate approximately
thirty singers, besides being more at­tractive
than the one now in use.
