Outfit At Two O'Clock This
Afternoon; Lineup Given
Auburn's strong freshman football
team, undefeated in three starts this
season, will seek to close out a per­fect
record this afternoon on Drake
Field against the Baby Yellow Jack­ets
of Georgia Tech. The game is
scheduled for 2 o'clock.
Auburn's team wjjl be appearing
before local fans for the first time
this year having played all other
games on foreign soil. Coach Jor­dan
has assembled one of the best
first-year teams in the history of the
school boasting a large number of
promising players who are expected
to materially aid Coach Wynne dur­ing
the next few years.
Auburn's starting backfield of
Scarbrough, quarterback, Scott and
Huie, halves, and Kilgore, fullback,
packs speed and punch. Scott is re­cognized
as one of the best all-around
freshman backs in the South. His
punting especially has been brilliant
in the three games thus far. Huie,
while not so fast, is a great blocker
and receiver of passes. He is one of
the 'hardest driving backs on the
squad.
Scarbrough is a smart field gen­eral
and also a good runner. He is
an aggressive player and probably
will see much service at the varsity
signal-calling post next season.
Kilgore-is a smashing type of full­back
who never quits fighting. He
is a fine all-around player, being a
good blocker and pass receiver.
The Rodents are well fortified at
the terminals with Williams, Roton,
and Cone having a slight advantage
over the others. Loftin and Gilbert
are standout tackles, while McCrosky
and McAllister are outstanding
guards. Gantt, center, has featured
every game this season by his fine
play.
Georgia Tech is expected to send
a formidable outfit here to face the
Baby Bangals this afternoon.
Admission for students to the game
will be coupon number seven from
the ticket book, while a charge of
seventy-five cents will be in effect
for other spectators.
STUDENTS ASKED TO
LEARN VICTORY SONG
Cheerleader Ed Prewitt has re­quested
that all students who plan
to make the Georgia - Auburn
game in Columbus tomorrow to
clip the words to the new Auburn
victory song, written by A. Trax-ler,
which are printed below and
sing them when the band plays
the song.
The song was first introduced
at a recent mass meeting and was
played several times at the Ogle­thorpe
game on Drake Field last
Saturday.
AUBURN VICTORY MARCH
Come on boys, let's travel;
For it is time that we're on our
way.
Time to hit the gravel;
We've got to win that game today.
Fight you Auburn Tigers
For the victory.
Let them say it!
As we play it!
We're the roving, fighting Au­burn
Tigers.

COMPETITION KEEN
IN DEBATE TOURNEY
Sixteen Students Are Entered
In Annual Phi Delta Gamma
Affair; Will Begin Monday
The annual Phi Delta Gamma de­bate
tournament will begin *on next
.Monday, November 20. The frater­nity
will offer ten dollars as a prize
to the winning team.
The question for debate is "Resolv­ed,
that the power of the president of
the United States should be substan­tially
increased as a settled' policy."
Those who have' registered for the
competition with Prof. Hess and the
date on which they will debate fol­lows:
Nov. 20, W. G. Hall and B. H.
Johnson will uphold the negative side
of the question with J. P. Handly
and W. C. Wilcoxson supporting the
affirmative; November 21, Julian
Ivey and Otis Spears will argue the
affirmative while J. W. DeVaughn
will support the negative; November
22, Walter Edwards and George Bo-horfoush
will have the negative as­signment
with C. S. Stroud and Clin­ton
Wallis opposing them on the af­firmative;
November 23, Fred Field
and H. E. McKenzie will argue from
the affirmative point of view with
John Tyler and B. G. Mantle oppos­ing
them.
Dr. Paul Irvine Is Appointed On National
Committee In Charge Of Teacher Training
An early check-up of the number of
votes being cast in the "Miss Auburn"
contest indicate that much interest is
being manifested, in the election and
a close race is likely. The early tab­ulation
shows that each of the three
remaining candidates have received
about the same number of votes so
far.
The ballot boxes in Benson's and
Tiger Drug Store will be collected
next Monday night, November 20, and
the name of the winner will not be
made public until Tuesday night when
she will appear on the stage of the
Tiger Theatre at eight forty-five.
Several business firms in the city
will award prizes to the winner and
these will be presented to her at the
theatre. The Tiger Drug Store, Ben­son's,
Smith's Pha(rmacy, Toomer's
Drug Store, Homer Wright's Drug
Store, Burton's Book Store, J. W.
Wright Dry Goods Company, and Au­burn
Studios are the firms who will
give prizes. Rosemont Gardens, flo­rist,
of Montgomery, will decorate the
stage of the Tiger Theatre and will
furnish a corsage for "Miss Auburn."
Tentatiye arrangements for the pre­sentation
of the winner of the contest
call for a short talk by Happy Davis,
assistant manager of the local thea­tre,
in which he will probably intro­duce
some member of the Administra­tive
Committe, who will in turn pre­sent
"Miss Auburn" to the audience.
During the. brief intermission before
and after these exercises the Auburn
Knights, local student orchestra, will
render severel popular numbers.
This contest marks the first time
such a competition has been held in
the college.

Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of
schools, Indianapolis, Indiana, and
president of the Department of Sup­erintendence
of the National Educa­tion
Association, announced at Asso­ciation
headquarters in Washington
today that Dr. Paul Irvine of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute has
been appointed a member of a nation­al
committee on the administration of
teacher training. This committee will
meet and report at the Cleveland con­vention
of the Department of Super­intendence,
February 24-March 1,
1934.
The appointment of this committee
is an important item in fundamental
reorganization of the convention plan
followed by the educational leaders in
their national professional organiza­tion
for many years. The change was
made to extend greater responsibility
to individual members in the De­partment's
attempt to plan more ef­fectively
for meeting the current cri­sis
in education.
Seven such committees have been
appointed by President Stetson. These
groups will give their attention re­spectively
to problems of teacher
training, a comprehensive program of
public education, financing the
schools, education for the new Ameri­ca,
a national outlook on education,
the interpretation of the schools to
the public, and public education and
public welfare.
The opening session of the fall con­ference
of the State Student Council
of Y. M. C. A.'s will be held at 7:15
this evening in the Student Center
with Horace Thompson, president,
presiding.
The principal talks of the opening
meeting will be made by Claude Nel­son
and J. Ward Nelson on "What is
the Association?" and "What can the
Student Associations do in the Trans­ition
of the High School Pupils to
College?", respectively.
'An open forum discussion will be
held Saturday morning at 8:30 led
by Claude Nelson who will speak on
"Technique". This will be followed
at 10:30 by a speech, "Program
Building", by James May of Atlanta,
Georgia, president of the Southern
Region Y. M. C. A. Council.
Saturday afternoon the conference
will adjourn for the Auburn-Georgia
football game in Columbus.
Julian Greer, president of the local
Y. M. C. A., will preside at the joint
session of Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A.
that will be held at 7:45 Saturday
evening. This meeting will be varied
with student talks and special music.

Tjie Auburn Players' current pro­duction-
"Ransom Racket", played in
Langdon Hall last night to a small
audience of perhaps two hundred. The
play was well received, however, by
the few who attended.
The play, a three-act melodrama
built around the present kidnapping
wave, was exceedingly well written
and of especial interest to a college
audience. It was modernistic to the
last degree, with snappy lines, fast-moving
action, and an exciting plot
with many unusual developments.
All the players gave adequate per­formances,
but Ella Frances South,
in a minor role, gave what was prob­ably
the most artistic and finished
characterization. As the old Italian
housekeeper for the "gang", Miss
South's performance left nothing to
be desired. Her accent and the ex­pressive
manner in which she used
her hands,.to say nothing of the way
she smoked the big cigar, gave the
necessary realistic touch to her per­formance.
Miss Georgia Lee Jackson, as Ju­dith
Raminway, the kidnapped debu­tante,
took advantage of her really
excellent lines to give a perfect char­acterization
of the modern American
"society" girl. Her attitude of calm
fearlessness among the kidnappers,
her cool thinking, and her contempt
for her captors was exceedingly well
portrayed. Her's~was probably the
best role in the play, and she handled
it well.
Leonard Nelson, as lieutenant to
the gangster chief, and Ruth Jones,
his "moll", gave convincing and real­istic
performances. Nelson was aided
by being exceptionally well cast, while
Miss Jones was not so fortunate.
Elliot Kaplus, as the moronic brawn-and-
muscle guy of the organization,
was very convincing in his character­ization.
His part in the action was
small, but his mere presence on the
stage did much to convince the spec­tators
that they were actually wit­nessing
the actions of a criminal gang.
Emmet Rodgers, as "Studs" Drake,
the gangster chief, and Franklin
Woodruff, as the fiance of the kid­napped
heroine, were adequate in
their roles. Rodgers performance in
the latter part of the play was better
than in the first act, when he appear­ed
a little ill at ease.

Feeling High As Student Body
Gathers On Main Campus
For Final Mass Meeting
Throngs of cheering students as­sembled
on the main campus by the
architectural building last night for
the final mass meeting before the an­nual
Georgia-Auburn game in Colum­bus
tomorrow afternoon. Feeling
was high as the mob gave vent to
cheer after cheer for the football
team which carries Auburn's hopes
for a comeback in the football world
in the game tomorrow.
The meeting opened with the play­ing
of the new Victory March.
Former Cheerleader Happy Davis
made a brief talk to the crowd on
Auburn spirit at former Georgia-Au­burn
games.
Shortly before the meeting adjourn­ed,
Cheerleader Ed Prewitt announc­ed
the plans for the Auburn parade
which is to be held in Columbus to­morrow.
The demonstration is sched­uled
to get underway about ten thirty
in the morning. All students who
make the trip to Columbus are urged
to take part in the parade and all
freshmen will be* required to wear
their rat caps at this time and to
the game. Also, plans for using the
placards to form an "A" were out­lined.
Tomorrow will be the first
time an Auburn student body has
used this feature at a game.
Dr. Basore Supervises Work Of Graduate
Students In Chemical Engineering School
Results and procedures of research
m
work done in the laboratories of the
graduate department of the School of
Chemical Engineering have shown
promise as a start for further devel­opment
that might be effected indus­trially.
This work has been carried
out by graduate students, working for
an M. S. degree under Dr. Basore.
Some of the most outstanding are:
The application of the Iodine-Alkali
Method for Aldoses, especially to the
sweet potato, by T. P. Goodman; The
production of a resin from Glucose
and analine by Henry Schaefer; Study
of the properties and evaluation of
sweet potato starch by O. C. Moore,
in cooperation with Mr. Schreiber, of
the Bureau of Standards; Determina­tion
of a method for the measurement
of the resistance of sized and unsized
cotton yarns to the abrading action
of the weaving operation by Professor
Charles Ordway on cooperation with
Mr. Schreiber; A study of Alabama
manganese ores by E. M. Eiland; A.
study of cupola operations with re­spect
to the removal of various im­purities
by E. C. Marke; A study of
glasses of various compositions by
Milton Lurie, Max Hollis and L. H.
Hull; A study of rosin and its deri­vatives
by W. R. Middleton, and in­vestigation
and utilization of various
wastes by Oel Johnson.
Since the raw material used in the
above problems are found in Alabama
the progress is interesting.

Renewal of a gridiron rivalry
which is as old as Southern football
itself sends Auburn's Plainsmen into
battle tomorrow against the Bulldogs
from the red clay hills of Georgia.
The game, an annual affair for years
at Columbus, will be played again in
that city in beautiful Memorial Sta­dium
which the Tigers and Bulldogs
dedicated last year. The kickoff is
scheduled for 2 o'clock.
The air around Columbus is filled
with tenseness as every Auburn and
Georgia man impatiently awaits the
kick-off. Advance ticket sales indi­cate
that over 18,000 football enthu­siasts
will fill Memorial Stadium to
see these two fine teams fight it out.
Georgia, riding the crest of South­ern
football by virtue of seven vic­tories
over outstanding teams, includ­ing
two intersectional wins, faces Au­burn
with perhaps the best aggrega­tion
which has been assembled under
the banner of the Red and Black since
1927. Many rate the 1933 Bulldog
machine as one of the greatest in
Southern football history.
Such a team will the Plainsmen of
Auburn face in the thirty-seventh re­newal
of gridiron relations between
the two schools.
The hospital list may play a major
part in this annual scrap tomorrow.
Both Auburn and Georgia have in­juries
in their camps. The Bulldogs
will probably be in better shape physi­cally
than the Tigers, but Wynne's
charges are in excellent shape men­tally
and are determined to run the
gamut of zeal and energy.
Coach Chet Wynne and his assist­ants
have brought the Tigers along
carefully during the past two weeks
in an effort to enter the game in
perfect physical condition. Seven
regulars including both ends, Fenton
and Ariail, both tackles, McCollum
and Holmes; the regular center,
Chrietzberg; Allen Rogers, halfback;
and the two leading fullbacks, Dupree
and Talley, were kept on the sidelines
during the game with Oglethorpe last
week. Captain Williams was permit­ted
to enter the game for only a few
minutes.
Auburn will face Georgia as a dis­tinct
underdog. This, however, does
not mean that the Tigers have not
been accorded an outside chance to
win, even by the Georgia fans.
Auburn will encounter the best as­sortment
of backfield talent that they
have met this year in the midget
Homer Key, the sensational Cy Grant,
Buck Chapman, Griffith, and several
others.
In the line Captain Graham Bat-chellor
and Fred Turbeyville, at ends,
team well, the latter being especially
adapted at covering punts.

RAT CHEERING SECTION
In an attempt to gain concentrated cheer­ing
at the Auburn-Cieorgia game in Colum­bus
tomorrow, head cheerleader Prewitt
has made arrangements whereby only
freshmen have been sold tickets in the sec­tions
between the thirty and forty yard
lines. In addition he has arranged for
placards to be placed in each seat in these
sections to be used in forming artistic de­signs
and letters during the game.
This will mark the first attempt at hav­ing
a designated cheering section in addi­tion
to having a display by the student
body and every effort should be expended
to aid in its successful accomplishment.
Students should help to keep everyone oth­er
than freshmen out of the specially desig­nated
sections, and members of the fresh­man
class should follow carefully the in­structions
printed on the backs of the cards,_
By united cooperation it will be possible
for the Auburn cheering section to put on
a display such as are seen at most of the
outstanding games throughout the country.
Since the cards which will be used have
been procured only after the expenditure
of a considerable sum of money and since
they may easily be used again, Prewitt has
asked that they be left where they were
found at the end of the game in order
- that they may be collected and used at some
other time.
The Plainsman extends to hear cheer­leader
Prewitt and other persons or organi­zations
responsible for the innovation of a
worthy movement strongest commendations,
and asks that the entire student body co­operate
in every possible way to aid in the
success of this venture.
A TOKEN FROM ALABAMA
A large University of Alabama pennant
has been received by Justin Morrill, presi­dent
of the Student Undergraduate Asso­ciation,
as a gift from the students at the
University and it is to be hung in the new
student center. This token of good will
is greatly appreciated by Auburn student's
and it is hoped that it will aid in the
resumption of athletic relations between
the two schools.
Although there was no statement made
as to the feeling of the students at Ala­bama
about resuming athletic relationships
when the gift was sent, the sentiment ob­viously
behind it is indicative of their chief
desire.
Even though athletic relations between
Alabama and Auburn ended in a muddled
wrangle, we firmly believe that in this day
of supposedly more advanced civilization,
students at the two schools could readily
conduct themselves according to the custom
of other athletic engagements.
The thought of the enormous crowds that
an Auburn-Alabama football game would
draw is in itself appalling. The mere' an­nouncement
that Auburn and Alabama
would again meet on the gridiron would
cause a rush for tickets such as would
overflow any stadium in the state. If
Georgia and Georgia Tech, Tulane and L.
S. U., North Carolina and North Carolina
State, Mississippi and Mississippi State,
and Howard and Birmingham-Southern can
successfully have annual engagements, why
Auburn and Alabama might not is more
than we can understand. And if both of
these schools are sitting back and waiting
for the other to make the first move to­ward
a renewal of activities, we would like
to see Auburn rise to meet the occasion
and be the first to move.
CONFERENCE
The modern student lives in a world
which has to a singular degee lost its sense
of direction. He sees about him a society
scourged by recurrent plagues of unem­ployment,
war, and racial conflict. In
nations which call themselves Christian,
social conditions exist which are the very
negation of all ethical teaching. The most
disturbing symptom of our time, however,
is not that these problems exist, not even
that so little is being done to meet them,
but rather that our people have so small a
sense of social responsibility, so little urge
to constructive effort. We have been af-
' flicted by a strange physical malady, a
passivity in which we while away our days,
accepting social ills as mysterious acts of
a hypothetical Providence. We have not
the courage or the will to master the so­cial
mechanisms which we have created.
The existence of such a situation con­stitutes
an especial challenge to the stu­dent
group. We have enjoyed the leisure
and the mental contacts which should sti­mulate
creative effort. We are by train­ing
better fitted than the great majority
of our contemporaries to assume the task
of social leadership, of leading our country
from stagnation and chaos to order and
happiness. Our privileges have been great;
our responsibility is also great. If we fail
to fulfill our function of leadership, both
in the intellectual and the practical realms
of activity, the future of our people is in­deed
a black one.
At this point the student will probably
interject, "But what can we do? Tell us
in plain and concrete language". In this
connection we note with interest a project­ed
conference to be held in Hamilton dur­ing
the Christmas vacation as announced
in the news columns of the "Daily". It is
reassuring to see that at least, one hundred
students from all parts of North America,
will attempt to face the implications of the
problems of unemployment, nationalism,
and racial conflict. The object of the con­ference
it seems, will be to determine the
action which can and ought to be taken by
students, both during and after their Uni­versity
days, toward the permanent solu­tion
of these problems.—McGUl (Canada)
Daily.
WAR INHERENT
So-called statesmen, leaders, diplomats
and even internationalists literally reek to­day
with axioms and quotations to the ef­fect
that war is inherent in mankind, that
the will to fight cannot be suppressed and,
therefore, war and strife are inevitable.
With nations glaring at one another
across "iron-clad fences," with armaments
increasing daily and with the League of
Nations nearing the rocks of oblivion it is
high time that this theory be delved into
and exploded. -"
Several years ago Dr. John M. Fletcher,
head of the psychology department here,
sent out questionnaires to some 200 of
Americans leading psychologists asking the
^question as to whether they thought war
and the tendency towards warfare was in­herent
in mankind.
Of the many prominent-scientists ques­tioned,
approximately 98 per cent answer­ed
that, in their opinions, war was not of
any such nature, and that man had no such
instinctive tendency.
It was pointed out that man does feel
"something" as the bands play and the
soldiers march and the speeches in de­fense
of the "fatherland" are heard on
every corner, but that this same "some­thing"
is akin to the feeling experienced
when a football team marches out upon the
field, or when a college band plays the
Alma Mater at the half.
In short, there is some emotional tie-up
between man and war, but this emotional
feeling is the same as that experienced by
the social reformer or the speaker for jus­tice.
This fact is an important one. Students
have long lost faith in the "truth and wis­dom"
of the diplomats of today. With new
information and new facts upon which to
reach conclusions, there is no reason why
these students should not become leaders in
the move for a greater feeling of brother­hood
among nations and a new tendency
towards the elimination of petty national­istic
doctrines.—The Technique.
RANSOM RACKET
Congratulations are due the members of
the Auburn Players and director Telfair
Peet for the presentation of "Ransom
Racket" in Langdon Hall last night. The
theme of the play was an appropriate one
for the times, it was especially suited to a
college student body, and it was well ren­dered
by the members of the organization.
A satisfactory audience was present to ap­plaud
the players on their opening night
of the current year, and the attitude that
students and townspeople took was an ap­preciative
one.
It is gratifying to note that there are

THERE IS no fool like an old fool,
but some of these urchins around here
who go into secret marriages with
their eyes closed could take several blue
ribbons in a fool contest.
And about the old fools; I suppose you
little lambkins think you are intensely dar­ing
and romantic when you go spooning
about in -these automobiles, fraternity
houses after dances, and at football games.
But you don't know nothing. These older
people around here have twenty years ex­perience
on you. They are the ones who
jolly well raise the well known hell.
The D'Artagnan of them all has been
quiet lately. Possibly it's because of press­ing
work at the college where he is a high
uppity-up, but I suspect he has rather for­gotten
the lady who keeps his amorous let­ters
in the bottom of her trunk where her
husband can't get a t them.
A professional-man in town, who isn't so
happily married, tries to drown his sor­rows
with corn. He uses an onion as a
chaser. - Shivers.
Another uppity-up at the college is play­ing
ring-around-the-rosey with a rather
war-horsey lady who has had a separate
room from her husband for the past ten
years. He is married too, but evidently
doesn't give a damn. She has lately start­ed
throwing kisses at her Preux Chevalier
when she thinks no one is looking..
And a man in town who has grandchild­ren
has been seen riding down Wright's
Mill Road at night with a lady of the town
who has grown chullen of her own. Fun,
what?
Another professor just lately has had to
buy a permanent wave for a little lassie
of the town so as to get her to keep her
mouth shut. If his wife ever finds out
she'll put a permanen* wave in "his wind­pipe.
And a lady of the town drinks this gosh-how-
awful corn around here like a kid
drinks lemonade on circus day. Has been
seen gingerly staggering down the street
by herself in the early morning.
Also I have it from an authoritative
source that another professional man about
town, who thinks he is a devil among the
daisies, is nothing but an imp.
* * * *
Added Dirt: I saw the two sweet old
ladies back together the other day. You
see the--one on the right side of the street
had ordered the one on the left, side of the
street out of her house and told her never
to come back again, but I saw them on the
porch of the ordered-away house only yes­terday.
Note to the co-ed who wears no petty-skirt
nor shimmy-shirt: Better don the
duds, little girl, 'tis becoming cold up
around Capricorn these days.
* * * *
More Slime: 'Nother professional man
of the-village carries on something simmer­ing
with a full-blown co-ed, also of the
around the town variety.
And the neighbor's little bitty puppy
dog holds bashful babble and tittle-tattle
with the Thomas cat under the kitchen
range. How sweet!

It always struck me as kind of funny
that the two hardware stores we have in
town should be sitting right in front of our
two banks. I thought of that for the first
time this summer when I had my plan all
mapped out for robbing the bank. Ever
think of robbing a bank, and sit back and
think of what you could do with the money?
Say, you know, I have one of those banks
down in diagram. That bank could only
be robbed during open hours, and it'd take
five men to do it.
And here is where the hardware store
comes in. It would flake two of those men
to hold sawed-off blunderbusses on the
hardware merchant. Did you know that in
some small towns a bank always faces a
hardware store, and the hardware man and
his ssistant are paid a bit a month by the
bank to be on the lookout for holdup men?
If the holdup stages, the hardware men
rush out with a couple of automatic shot­guns
they have in stock, and give hell to
the bandits. I wondered did these hard­ware
stores get in front of these banks on
purpose, or is it just a happen so? When
planning to rob a bank one left out detail
may mean a bunch of buckshot in the pants
for the planner.
And while I'm on the subject gf banks,
that big finance and fiddle-toodle man,
Hugh Cottle, found out he was very much
mistaken about the Tulane trip of a couple
in town. And Cottle will save time by
believing verbatim EVERY thing the girl
told him.

who are interested in the furtherance of

Be wary of expressing your preference
for girls, either blonde or brunette, might
well be the advice given by one university
professor who has a case in point.
Once, during a few days stay at the Uni­versity
of Illinois where he was contem­plating
accepting a position with northern
college, he was interviewed by a reporter
for the school paper.
"Do you prefer Northern or Southern
girls?" was the question asked him toward
the close of the interview. After being
assured his opinion would not be printed
the professor admitted he preferred the
charm of the Dixie belle. He spoke elo­quently
of their charm, their beauty, their
captivating and romantic temperament. He
spoke freely—but confidentially.
Then next morning, staring him in the
face were the headlines across the school
paper: "Southern Professor Expresses
Preference for Southern Girls." •
The following two days were completely
miserable the professor admitted.—The

MASCOT RAMESES
Through the efforts of the University
club and the college administration Caro­lina
is once again to display a mascot on
the gridiron. A wild ram, located by the
University club in Willard, N. C, will be
brought to the University of Carolina cam­pus
Wednesday for a month's stay to in­spire
the team to victory.
In accordance with Carolina custom, the
animal will be known as Rameses III. Be^
tween 1924 and 1926 two ranis served as
mascots and were dubbed by Dean Paulsen
and Kay Kyser Rameses I, and II, respec­tively.
According to Earle H. Hofstetter, profes­sor
of animal husbandry at State college,
Rameses III is one of the only two rams in
the state, the other being at Tarboro. The
mascot is at present on the state agricul­tural
farm at Willard.
In describing the ram, the professor re­ported
that he was thoroughbred longhorn
ram. He added that the animal would be
difficult to handle due to the fact he has
been used to roaming wild about the coun­tryside.—

SWEARING AND COOING OF
BABY GO HAND IN HAND
Syracuse, N. Y.—Swearing in the adult
corresponds to cooing in the babe. That
at least, is the belief of Kenneth Bartlett,
instructor in Speech) as he phrased it to a
class recently. "Of course," he added, "I
i
mean emotional, not premeditated swear­ing."
A baby coos to develop its tone code.
Each tone in this code expresses a definite
feeling. In order to have his wants satis­fied
he uses a certain tone. In times of
stress, the tone he uses receives immediate
notice.
It is this tone which corresponds to that
of an adult. Under severe emotional stress,
an adult^can often control other people by
the quality of his voice alone. Instinctive­ly
knowing that he would feel uncomfort­able
in vocalizing alone, he uses words as
well.
"Profanity is often little more than a
meaningless use of words which allows the
speaker to vocalize and exercise his tone
code. Since he has reached the linguistic
stage of development he swears. Other­wise
he would coo."

The Seventh Annual Skit Night was held
at University of Florida last Thursday
night and was claimed to be a big success.
Skit night at Florida is the night on which
a contest is held to see who can put on
the best enactment of some scene or who
can impersonate some person the best.
The skit that won first place by the
largest vote was the "Gator Brevities."
This was the impersonation of Claudette
Colbert by Johnny Mercer, Mae West, by
Neal Taylor, Greta Garbo by F. Myers, and
Zazu Pitts by Gwynn Parker.
"The Bachelor's Reverie," another com­petitive
skit, was voted for as the most
popular by many people in the audience.
Skit Night produced enough money to
send the band to Atlanta. Never before
in the history of Skit Night has there been
so much intensive practice and cooperation.
The usual crowd is about twelve hundred,
but this year "more than seventeen hundred
people attended.

The authorities at the University of
South Carolina have become more lenient
in their rules governing the times which
women could go into fraternity houses.
Previously a rule had been passed barring
women from fraternity houses altogether
except in the case of definitely arranged
functions, but now they can visit in a house
if they have acceptable and approved chap-erones.

ONCE UPON a time there was a col­lege.
They had a football team. All
of the players on the football team
were in school to learn Physics and Ger­man,
and learned it too. The coach of the
team was a professor who coached be­cause
of his great love of the game. This
team won every game it played for two
years. In that time, two first-string men
were kicked out of school for cribbing.
They admitted it. The team still won
games. There was a team like that, but I
don't believe it.

One of the most eloquent of all corre­spondences

At last the freshmen have been organ­ized
into a separate cheering section. Who­ever
is responsible for that (even if it's
the A Club) deserves a medal and a cita­tion
for conspicuous service. Auburn has
had more spirit and less system in cheer­ing
than any school I can think of off­hand.
I repeat that recognition is due the
originator of this idea.

It's a crying shame that Auburn has to
play its homecoming game with one of its
weakest opponents. Aside from the fact
that the field here has a low seating capa­city,
how can anyone be expected to travel
one or tw<% hundred miles to see a mediocre
game. The freshmen in their game drew
a crowd identical in size to the crowd
drawn by the homecoming game. The game
the freshmen played was probably a better
game because the two teams were more
evenly matched. Suppose for instance that
the Georgia game had been played here
last Saturday. In Columbus, there will be
a capacity crowd paying two dollars and
twenty cents a seat. Figure between ten
and fifteen thousand at this figure and
you'll realize a lot of money. Compare it
with six thousand (a liberal estimate of
the Oglethorpe crowd). There is another
angle to the question. Consider the stu­dents
who contribute a sizable allowance
each year to the football team. They get
in return one game free. Well?

GEORGIA BULLDOGS
LEAD BENGALS IN
NUMBER OF WINS
First Game Between Teams Is
Played 1893; Elevens Face
Each Other For 37th Time
When Auburn meets Georgia in
Columbus Saturday it will be the
thirty-seventh engagement of these
two teams. They have played yearly
since 1919, with only a break of a
year or two in the schedule since '92.
Of the thirty-seven games played
Georgia has won 18 and Auburn 15.
On a basis of the number of points
scored by each, the two are about
even, with Georgia having a one
point lead. Georgia has scored 324
points; Auburn 323.
Back in 1892 the Tigers met the
Bulldogs for the first time, with Au­burn
emerging victorious by a score
of 10-0. They ceased relations for a
year, but the following season the
Bulldogs reversed the score and de­feated
Auburn 10-0.
Last year was the first time the
Tigers had been able to handle the
Bulldogs since 1922, giving Georgia
ten consecutive victories. Georgia
handed the Tigers their worst defeat
in '30 by a score of 39 to 7.

TIGER GROWLS
By B. C. POPE
Auburn meets Georgia tomorrow in the renewal of one of the South's
oldest and greatest gridiron classics. Since 1892, the Tigers and Bull­dogs
have met almost annually on the football field, and, with few ex­ceptions,
the winner has been decided by the margin of a few points.
Georgia enters tomorrow's game rated as one of the outstanding •
teams the South has ever produced by virture of seven consecutive
victories over such elevens as North Carolina State, Tulane, North
Carolina, Mercer, New York University, Florida, and Yale.. Only one
of these teams, Mercer, has been able to hold the Bulldogs to a score
that was close enough to threaten defeat. •
Auburn's Tigers, therefore, face a

herculean task at Columbus. A vic­tory
over Georgia would go a long
way toward atoning f6r earlier sea­son
losses. Auburn will pit every­thing
tomorrow against the Bulldogs.
Two weeks of rest for the injured
regulars have put the Plainsmen in
fine trim for the contest. In addi­tion,
the spirit of the team is at its
peak; the boys have made up their
minds to beat Georgia and will go
out there fighting from the start.
Personally I think Auburn will
win. This prediction is not based
upon sentiment or school spirit,
but the fact that Georgia is due
for an upset, and that the Tigers
are in the best condition of the
season, both physically and men­tally.
Auburn has a good football
team, good enough, I believe, to
rise to heights as great as any of
last season's remarkable perform­ances.
The Plainsmen are out to
get Georgia! And once the Tigers
have their mind made up, there is
no stopping them.

Picking the winners this week of
the outstanding games of the South
will be tough therefore trying to pre­dict
the scores will be practically sui­cide.
But here is an effort:
Auburn 13; Georgia 7.
Alabama 19; Tech 0.
Tulane 7; Kentucky 0.
L. S. U. 14; Ole Miss 6.
Miss. State 27; Sewanee 0.
Vandy 0; Tennessee 20.

Auburn's outstanding freshman
team entertains Georgia Tech's frosh
here this afternoon in-what should
rival any varsity games • in thrills.
Coaches Jordan, Hitchcock, and
Johnson have assembled a great ar­ray
of first year talent here and will
be on exhibition for local approval
for the first time this season.
Leading the freshman attack for
the Tigers will be Rupert Scott,
scintillating triple-threat halfback
from Spartanburg, S. C , who can
do everything with a football ex­cept
eat it, and I wouldn't be sur­prised
to see him accomplish this
feat before he finishes his grid­iron
career at the Plains. Scott's
punting against Tampa last week
was a sight to behold. On one oc­casion,'
standing ten yards behind
his own goal line, he booted the ball
73 yards in the air. Auburn's ends
were completely exhausted from
covering the Tiger star's punts all -
afternoon.
And punting is not all Mr. Scott
can do. His brilliant running has
been one of the features of the Baby
Bengals' attack all year. He is as
swift as a deer with a fine change
of pace which he "uses to advantage.
He is an accurate passer at both long
and short ranges.
Keep your eyes on Mr. Scott
who bids fair to blossom forth as
one of Auburn's immortals be­fore
his collegiate career is over.

Tech and Alabama both are in fine

GEORGIA ENTERS BATTLE WITH
SEVEN OUTSTANDING VICTORIES
Bulldogs Sweep Toward Rose Bowl; One Of Few Undefeated
And Untied Teams In Country; Backfield Declared Most
Deceptive And Versatile In South
By Fred Birdsong
In Georgia, the Tigers will face one
of the strongest teams in the country
Saturday. Last year's sophomores
have returned this year to sweep
through every opposing team with
little difficulty with any team so far
this year. Among the more import­ant
victims in the Georgians so far
successful Rose Bowl march are Tu­lane,
N. Y. U., Yale, Florida, N. C.
State, and North Carolina. Of the
seven vanquished teams, only three
have succeeded in scoring, and only
two have held the Dogs to less than
a two touchdown victory.
The Georgia backfield is the most
deceptive and versatile in the South.
Cy Grant, hard running fullback is
at present leading the conference
high scorers. Grant has scored on
long runs in nearly every game this
year and will endeavor to build up
his reputation even higher Saturday.
Homer Key, who will be playing at
home for the first time this year has
starred in Georgia's backfield for
four years. This tricky little half­back
is one of the smallest men in
football, weighing only 142 pounds.
I t was his long sprint that cinched
the Bulldogs victory over Yale. An-

U. S. Types 11, 12,13, 14.
BUBXEY TOBACCO
U.S. Type 31.
SOUTHERN MARYLAND TOBACCO
U. S. Type 32.
U. S. Type 11 is produced
the Piedmont Belt of
Virginia and part of North
Carolina.
U. S. Type 12 is produced
in eastern North Carolina.
U. S. Type 13 grows in
South Carolina.
U. S. Type 14 is produced
mostly in southern Georgia—
a few million pounds in north­ern
Florida and Alabama. .
U. S. Type 31 includes
what is called White Burley
tobacco. It was first produced
by George Webb in 1864. It
is light in color and body,
and is milder than the Burley
used for pipes.
U. S. Type 32, Maryland
tobacco, is noted for its
" b u r n " . In this respect
Maryland excels most other
tobaccos. (
These are the kinds of
home-grown tobaccos used
for making Chesterfield
Cigarettes.
Then Chesterfield adds
aromatic Turkish tobacco to
give just the right seasoning
or. spice.
Chesterfield ages these
tobaccos for 30 months
—2yi years — to make
sure that they are milder
and taste better.

other stellar back among the boys
from Athens is Brown. Although he
has had little chance to play with
Grant and Key in the line-up, his
play in the Yale game was highly
praised by the Northern sports writ­ers.
The fourth big figure in the
Georgia backfield is big George
Chapman, fullback. Chapman is one
of those hard driving, bone crushing
line-busters that get yardage when
it's really needed.
With such a spectacular backfield,

not much is heard about the Georgia
line. However, such men as Turbey-ville,
Opper, and Batchelor cannot be
overly praised. Batchelor is the end
who dealt Auburn such misery with
his long tricky punts. Turbeyville
and Opper have stood out in their
defensive play all season. Other
linemen not to be trifled with are Mc-
Collough and Brown, guards, Perkin-son,
center, and West, tackle.
It will take inspired play on the
part of the Plainsmen to stop the
ferocious charges of the Dogs on
their "California Here I Come"
march.

It is difficult to ascertain just
what stands in the way of such a
proposal becoming a reality. Many
prominent alumni and friends of the
two schools have tried for several
years to bring the two teams togeth­er
again. It seems that neither
school is willing to take the initiative.
It is true that the Tigers will
have their hands full next year
with the opposition already sche­duled.
But with an even greater
team in prospect for the coming
season for both Auburn and Ala­bama,
time is ripe for opening the
case again. -

condition, and L. S. U. can expect
plenty of trouble.
Up in Knoxville Saturday will be
a big day, and anywhere you find
Vandy and Tennessee playing it will
be a gala affair. Vandy will be
minus two stars for the game, unless
they improve before Saturday. They
are Ranie Throgmorton, sophomore
tackle, and Leo Dickerson, veteran of
the Commodore line. This will be
the 30th engagement of. these two
teams. Vandy has won nineteen and
Tennessee six, with four ties.
Mississippi State will have Se-wanee
for a guest at Starksville this
Saturday. Both of these teams ar$
down in the conference, but are about
evenly matched, and the job of pick­ing
a winner would be difficult.

pent-house, was perfect in every de­tail,
from the modernistic furniture
to the view of the sky through the
open doors at the back of the set. The
Players evidently had spent much
time and money on the set, and have
the satisfaction of knowing that their
work, artistically speaking, was a suc­cess.
One of the most important, and in­teresting,
parts of the production was
the use made of the radio. Gerald
Laubenthal and Ben Hutson, as be­hind-
the-scenes operators delighted
the audience and considerably speed­ed
the action of the play in the clev­erest
imitation of a radio station that
the writer has ever heard. Even
static was included on their program.
Though the play had everything
necessary to make it a hit, somehow
it failed to click as have some of the
Players' other productions. Poten­tially,
it is the best play that they
have yet attempted, but as yet that
vital something that makes a good
play a smashing success was lacking.
The play was directed by Professor
Telfair Peet, assisted by- James Par-rish
and Miss Mary Elizabeth Wat­son.
